This is a podcast from Rover.
If you're easily offended, keep listening.
We love a challenge.
This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
That's right.
The show you know is back with a bang.
Ugh, not like that.
It's the Edge Breakfast.
Clint Megan Dan.
94-2.
The head.
Good morning.
I'm to the Ed's Reef is Clint Meg and Dan on Thursday.
She's the boss, Clint.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
For a minute, I was like, I could go.
Yeah.
Yeah, Dan's the one with hand-foot and mouth disease.
No, I haven't had it for days.
Dan, stop it.
You have, you're covering, show me your palms.
No, I don't want to.
I'm very self-conscious about my palms, and I always have been.
Not because I've got, like, little sores all over them.
Yes.
So anyway.
He started doing the Ariana Grande where he's wearing his sleeves, like over it to his fingertips.
No, I have always done that.
Okay?
Very inconvenient for hand washing.
Yes.
Anyway, let's just move on and stop mentioning that I have
possibly debilitating disease.
They do call it disease, right?
Hand foot and mouth disease.
Disease, yes.
I don't think it's deadly, but it is very contagious, Meg.
Anyway.
Good to know.
Good to know.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Now we're going out to Sanjay, who no doubt is getting ready to see the sun come up.
He's running every morning and not like our Dan.
He's given up.
Oh, no, I haven't given up.
I just running at a different time of the day.
I did go for a run last night about 5pm.
Tell you what, I did a bit of running
on the treadmill you sit at the gym.
I just chucked it on to like four kilometre pace.
Jesus, that's fast.
That's hard.
Oh yeah, four kilometres is fast.
Yeah.
Like per kilometre.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's fast.
I got a walking pad.
Oh, yeah.
All your husband using that?
Yeah, it's been really good for...
He's video gaming on it.
I don't know.
I don't talk to me.
So he like walks on it, but he's video gaming.
So it's like he's walking around in the games.
Well, it's meant to be something
so that, because Dan, you know how hard it is to, like,
you can't do it in the morning, really,
especially as a woman, I can't do it.
And then I go to bed at 8.30, so I'm like,
when am I going to do it.
But now I just walk on the walking pad
when I'm emailing you guys with my phone.
Craig where I'm wrong.
But it is giving mobility issues person.
Like if I see someone with,
they've got a walking pad in their house,
I go, oh, they've obviously got some sort of hip issue
or they're like, you know,
they've got mobility issues.
It's just easy.
I can slide it under the couch.
I don't even have to have a gym.
And if it's rainy, I can go for a walk
and the baby's right there and I don't, you know,
she's sitting on the ground. I don't have to, like, put her on the pram.
Well, what's wrong with me? Because I was on the treadmill
for only, like, six or seven minutes and I got so itchy.
Itchy. All my legs were getting so itchy.
Like, I don't know, the blood's really, and I had to stop.
It's because you're not used to the exercise
and your legs are not used to the blood flow.
Your legs are like, what's happening? We haven't been moved for, you know,
football season starting. I was like, I've got to start getting off.
I think you'll find, like, after a couple of runs, that'll go.
Yeah.
But yeah, me, good on you, I think.
Yeah, well, I think.
Well, I just think that I looked at your husband doing it,
and I thought he looks, it looks like something a 70-year-old would own,
you know, that is learning to walk again after a goutish.
I kind of feel like I am learning to run again, to be fair, after birth.
What have we got today?
Us is the playlist of exam throwback, Fergie.
No.
I think I might have been the only person in the world that didn't like the song.
No, I didn't get into Fergie.
She lost me when she did that big national.
God, that was shocking me bad.
Poor Fergie.
She was trying to do it so sexy.
Yeah.
She was trying to be different.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now today, the only sort of big thing that we could baby play is today is Billy Joe Armstrong's
birthday from Green Day.
He was born in 1972, Clint, which makes him what?
What do you say?
72.
Oh, 38.
68.
61.
58.
58?
Yeah, 58.
So.
I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
I mean, there's a lot of songs we could play from Green Day.
Yeah, American Eddie.
It's probably good.
timely one.
38?
What's going on?
God, your brain is not working.
That's what it feels like to be me and Dan, by the way.
Yeah, it's like my brain set a number
before I'd actually finish the calculation of my mouth
and I was like, shut up, we haven't finished working it out yet.
That's what happens.
I think that's actually just the one thing that's better at me at, is math.
Do you think?
No.
Definitely.
You could easily beat me at math.
Really?
9 plus 29.
I couldn't tell you.
Like my brain does me.
That's way quicker.
Nine times four.
Don't ask me questions.
28?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
We're both shocking.
5, 6, 1, 8, 9 times 4.
2 is 18.
Just place some American idiot.
Yes, Mac.
The R&A is we've got two New Zealand idiots right here.
Okay, so we don't want to go through it.
We're just going to go American Idiot.
I reckon.
Yeah, that's where we'll land anyway.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Green Day, American Idiot, your 6th throwback.
I was an lead singer's birthday today.
Yeah, Billy Joe Armstrong.
Nice.
Which is, like, I remember, and this is showing my age,
and probably yours as well, me again, Clint.
Don't bring me into this.
Because I remember my own age, mate.
I'm not showing anyone.
I just remember when that album came out,
the American Idiot album.
Oh, no.
I was at high school at the time.
But, man, it was such a huge album.
Offspring, Blink 1A2.
Yeah, that kind of era of punk.
Yeah, it was so cool.
Yeah, offspring used to thrash that.
Mm.
Guys, I've been called out by someone.
Instagram.
My favourite thing.
And Meg, you're going to love it.
Oh, brilliant.
Because it's someone that is really, like, they've gone to town on me.
Oh, well, actually, there's a fine line.
I feel like I can go to town on you, but nobody else can.
Yes.
And I get very defensive.
I'd love for you to go to town on me at some point.
Yeah, I think you guys are using it in an interesting context.
I mean, I guess.
Pardon?
If you said, oh, geez, Dan went to town on Meg the other day.
Yeah.
I'm thinking.
What's your thing?
Probably differently to how you're meaning.
Right.
Well, I always go to town on Dan.
Yeah, well, it was just one night.
I don't like it when other people do it to Dan.
It's like, yeah, go on.
Well, bless you.
Because I've got a message from someone that follows me on Instagram.
And you know, we've talked about it.
I've been posting a little bit.
Some funny little silly videos.
He's been doing amazing.
You should follow him.
Dan Webby.
Well, I don't.
But maybe you can if you want.
Oh, you played hard to get for about two seconds.
Good for you.
And I posted one the other day, and it's of me pretending that I'm on the phone
cancelling plans.
Oh, yes.
because I'm in hospital with my dying
great-grandmother.
But you're really pressing the button of the washing machine.
No, this is where I'm backing the car up.
Oh, backing the car, that's right.
The parking sensor that goes, beep, beep, beep.
As her heart rate monitor.
Yeah.
And then it goes, be...
And I go, oh, sorry, I've lost her.
I'm not going to be able to come tonight.
Yeah.
Brilliant.
You can see it on...
Dan Webby and Instagram.
Everybody knows it's not real, obviously.
Someone's texted me, messaged me,
DMed me, going,
you should be ashamed of yourself
for posting something that you think,
is funny, you're what's wrong with the world.
Oh, God.
Oh, no, I think there are a few other things that I'd be...
And the funny thing is...
...but I'd put above you before we got to addressing you to fix the world.
And I sort of was like, oh, oh, that's sort of cut me deep.
And I went into her profile.
I'm not going to say who it is, her name or anything,
but one of her first profile picks is her with Donald Trump.
Interesting.
So I'm what's wrong with the world.
Who with Donald Trump?
She's met him before.
Must have.
It is...
It could be like that Madam Toussard's one.
It's hard to tell.
Oh, the wax figure.
Never take criticism from somebody you wouldn't take advice from is what I say, Dan.
And that is, I think, a perfect example of somebody who doesn't have our values.
Although I did show my wife before I posted it.
I said, is this too far saying I'm laughing at my dying grandmother?
And she couldn't watch it.
She was like, I can't watch it.
Don't post it.
Don't you dare post that?
Wait, I think it depends.
Do you still have your grandma alive?
I never even met my great-grandma.
Okay, so that's why.
Everyone is different, and so sometimes we project our own feelings and experiences onto other people.
If your Nana is still around and she's quite sick, then maybe that's triggering.
If you never had your Nana, then...
The incident must be a very triggering place for some people, because if things like that,
where you hear somebody obviously using the monitor of the car reversing beep to say,
oh, you know, Nana's passed away, it's very clearly a gag,
and if that upsets you, maybe take a break from the net for a while.
100%
You know, I'm not trying to be mean in that
I'm just saying that
You might need a bit
Yeah, you can just get away
This is maybe
See, I'm not agreeing with you yet
Well, okay
Well that's strange
Because I was going to say
Everybody dies
So it's an interesting take from you Mick
But everyone will die
Everyone, it's not this new thing
It's just the fact we don't like
being reminded of it
But life is fickle
And it's not guaranteed
And it's not forever
I'm with Meg, I'm not agreeing
with you yet
No, no, no. We all know our souls.
We're on your own.
I'm going to go back to town on.
Some of us are more.
Come to town on me.
Come on.
All right.
Clint Megadale. Let's go.
All righty.
McDonald's have teamed up with friends doing a bit of a cool co-lab at the moment.
If you get a big Mac or a 10-piece,
uh, chicken McNuggets, Friends meal at McDonald's.
You get one of these almost like little bubblehead figurines of the Friends characters.
And we have that a prizeback giveaway and a $200 McDonald's voucher.
If you can tell us,
whether it was Dan from our show
or whether it was Joey from friends
who said,
how you doing?
Now, why would I say that?
I mean, there's a possibility I could.
I mean, we say a lot of things on the show,
but they also said a lot of things on 10 seasons of friends.
And the thing is, I couldn't 100% factor out
that it wasn't me saying.
Do you know what happened?
This annoys me, if I'm going to be honest.
The first person to play on Monday this game,
lost.
And so I think we had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to that
and we started making it easier
so that we could always give away the prize.
But this is a little bit ridiculous.
Why don't you just call and we just give it to you?
Well, hold on, Clint.
Oh, let me hear you say it, Dan.
Could have been him.
How are you doing?
Definitely not, right.
Morning, Stu.
How are you doing?
How are you doing?
Is that bloody Joey?
See, it could have been Stu, you pull it off.
Could be our way, like a show phrase, I suppose.
How are you doing?
Okay.
Well, the world's easiest question, Stu,
was it Dan?
Or was it Joe?
from Friends who said, how you doing?
That was Joey.
Yeah, he's got it.
How you doing?
Yeah.
Too easy, my bro.
You got a $200 McDonald's voucher
and a Friends prize pack.
Brilliant.
Love it.
Thank you.
Thank you, Stu.
That's probably one of the most famous quotes
from Friends after, like, maybe Pivot.
Oh, we were on a break.
I still think How You Doing's probably more famous than we're on a brand.
Definitely, because it was used more.
It was so well-known.
It was so well-known.
Was it the most famous friends?
Yeah, it might have been.
I think I'd say it was just once.
Obviously, you know it from friends, but it's a catchphrase.
And then maybe after that it'd be Janice going, oh my God.
True.
God, that show was just so well written.
Oh, my God.
I loved it.
Janet!
Keep it!
That just shows how good Ross is that you're right, Mick.
It was said one time and one episode of 10 seasons of friends.
It's that iconic.
Yeah, he made that line sing.
Yeah, I watched the reunion just a couple of weeks ago.
Oh, really?
Just because it popped up on my thing
And I was like, I'm going to watch that again
It was such a good show
Supposedly.
Such good friends.
Watch it again and you look at how they all talk to Chandler.
It sounds like he made a few digs that
They never, they made out like they're all still friends
And Chandler's like, no, I haven't ever bring you guys in free.
100% you can watch it.
You watch the body language if you do want to watch it again
between Courtney Cox, Monica and Matthew Perry,
Chandler.
She can't stand him.
She's like literally like she you can see her
her teeth when he talks
I watch purely to watch their body language
I didn't get that I got that they were all felt really sorry for him
But maybe that was a maybe she could have been frustrated
With what he'd you know unfortunately doing with his life
Yeah oh there you go
Alright well back again tomorrow
You can find out which friends character you are
You can get one of the six collectibles with the Friends meal at McDonald's
Love it
Yeah we normally do first call of the day around now
I mean technically I guess Stu's already beaten everyone to it
We can still do it
First, second quarter of the day
Yeah, yeah, sure
And then hopefully we'll have a third
Later on this morning
Yeah, I mean let's not promise anything
We're doing our job, right?
Also, 10,000 bucks on the line
And just over 30 minutes, 7 o'clock this morning
10 grand on the line
If you can win Easy Money
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
Watch your language
Stan's very fiery
Behind the scenes here
We're just having an argument about a watch
Yeah
Anyway
Yeah, Dan wants me to spend lots and lots of money
No, I don't.
I said I don't need to.
No, I don't.
Looks the same.
Anyway, let's move on.
First goal of the day.
This is your chance to be the second call of the day.
Do you know how exciting that is?
The second call of the day?
It's like mum's second favourite fish.
That's my favourite game we've ever done.
We need to bring that back.
I think we do too.
I don't think we've had our new boss experience, second favourite fish.
Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with second, eh, Zoe?
New Zealand, Zoe Sadowski's Senate,
adding to her collection of Olympic medals with a silver.
Yeah, Zoe ended up taking silver.
I think she had something like 87 and a half points
and she missed out on gold by 0.3 of a point.
So a third of a point she missed out.
I actually put a story on my Instagram stories.
Do you see that girl that got asked,
she got two silver medals.
She's the most meddled or like the most decorated.
Decorated female free scare in history.
She got two silvers and the question of the audience said,
hey, are you just like gutted that you didn't get the golds?
And she's like, what are you talking?
about. But she probably obviously would be.
Of course she would be. But
at the same time she's won medals.
Is it two silvers or is it just two golds missed?
She ate him up. If you want to see that,
go to May and screw.
Alex, second caller of the day.
Morning.
Morning. Good morning.
Kiyoda, kiyoda. Good morning.
Morning.
Oh, you've got a drag queen name, Alex.
Yes, Alexis Lahua.
Alexis Lahua.
Have I spoke at you before, Alex? I feel like we have.
Yes, we have.
Not too long ago, just before
R&V, I think it was.
Oh, Alex, are you doing
pipe break? Because we've got a float,
an edge float with the kiss cam and stuff on Saturday?
I was actually just woke up thinking about that
and the reason why I caught in this morning
was to ask you guys if you guys needed another drag queen.
Oh, yes.
That isn't the saying you can never have too many drag queens?
Exactly.
That is a flame of the same.
Yeah.
Well, we're going to be on a float, the edge float,
and Clint's going to have his shirt off, he's promised.
Oh, no, I have not.
Oh, no, he has promised.
Yeah, we'll be there.
We'll have to, I guess.
Sounds like a very good try.
Geez, don't tease people with that
because now I'm going to have to, like, fake tan just in case.
Exactly.
Yeah.
No one has to have a surprise kit off and then be like,
damn it, forgot to tan.
I think maybe people will settle for one of those fish net singlets that you wear.
Oh, yeah, maybe, Alex, if you've got one in my size
or a little tighter than I'd normally wear.
Clint, you have one.
I think I've got a net.
medium than your side.
Yeah, yeah, good.
I mean, it would do well.
Yeah, take it off a lot like a ham.
How long do you need to get ready, Alex, because we're meeting at about half
six, so what time do you think you'll have to start getting in drag?
I'll start getting into drag around the day.
Oh, my, God, just me.
Wow, that is a long time.
It will be a full day in makeup for me.
And then I'll be hitting the clubs afterwards.
Oh, yeah.
On the flip side, Alex, what is the flip side, Alex?
on the flip side, Alex, what is the fastest you can get ready?
Because obviously six hours or six and a half hours is probably you're doing everything.
What's the quickest?
How else I can get ready myself would be about two and a half three.
My goodness me.
Because of precision and fine line detailing.
Wow.
How much do your eyebrows move in drag?
How much higher are they?
Actually, I go off of my natural eyebrow arch, so there are only about half a centimeter about...
Oh, good for you.
Good for you.
Wow.
Oh, good on you.
We might see you there at the Pride Parade.
We're doing a kiss cam as well.
So if you do see the float,
get in there, get a kiss.
You hope what?
I will.
I'll jump up and give you right a big kick on the cheek.
Nice, Alex.
Oh, yeah.
You go buy her a drink first, I suppose,
if you want it on the look, standing.
Yeah, absolutely.
I already ticks the football boys
because one of them seven to 40th,
and so we're all meant to be meeting at a bar
for celebrations the same time as the Pride's on,
I said, I could do the pride parade stuff,
and then I'll join you guys later,
unless you want to come down.
I'm on Kiss Cam, so I was like,
your chances will increase.
I bet that we're so stoked to see you
in your Mets shirt during the football celebration.
Someone said, this is the most clinting I've ever heard.
And I was like, thanks.
Do you want to go for a drink afterwards, Stan?
Yeah, of course, definitely will.
And Clint, I know Saturday is usually for the boys.
For the boys.
For the girls.
Boys.
Yeah, yes.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Stinky bitch.
It's time to get naughty at 640.
I am so lucky in that I'm very close with my mum.
I love it a pieces.
She's very good with my kids.
And my husband guy and her get along really well.
And I honestly think that is the lotto.
I think when your husband or your partner or your wife or whoever genuinely gets along with your parents
to the point that they could go out and get a coffee together and that's fine and normal,
I think that really is such a gift and such a blessing.
and I think people might take it for granted
in situations, you know, where that isn't the case where I don't want to be with your
mum or I don't want to be sick.
You know, I don't like her.
That would be caused a lot of stress.
I'm lucky that doesn't happen in any part of my family.
Stressfully, though, like they get along almost too well.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, here we go.
This is, I don't even know I'm giving, I'm literally, I'm about to give you.
The fact that you leave him and her alone to get them while you go to work.
There's chemistry, there's chemistry.
And there's only so much temptation one guy can take.
You're both sick of the head, but I am going to.
going to give you a little bit of...
ammo.
Amo.
Yes.
It's pretty high ammo and I'm doing this.
Because what have I said about your mum in the past?
She's gorgeous.
She's got sexual energy.
She has got very much a sexual energy.
And I'd say that in a really positive way.
Not what I say.
You say that.
I think she does.
Okay.
She hates it when you say that.
Oh, sorry, Philippa.
What kind of ammo are you giving us like a little pistol or a bazooka?
I think it's a bazooker.
Oh, my goodness big.
My mom's already got two of them.
Hey.
Oh, now let's not talk.
Sorry, okay, sorry.
Philip and I, that's how we chat.
Okay.
My mum, always 100% of the time,
when we're at home, calls Guy Daddy.
Oh, I've had the same issue with my mum.
It's not an issue.
I just smile, every time I hear it.
Hey, it's weirder for you, Dad, because that's your mum.
This is Meg's husband's mother-in-law.
She does, and the thing is, not related.
It's a little smirk on my face when she says it
because I think it's really sweet
because she's doing it for the girls.
She's doing it for the kids.
And she's saying it because that's how,
what the kids call him.
She wouldn't call him Guy because then Daisy calls my husband Guy and Guy hates that.
Because she will go, guy, guy.
And he goes, stop doing that.
I'm daddy.
Also, he...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't call me that.
Call me daddy.
You miss it.
That's guy talking to my daughter.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, you were zoned out just at the moment.
Sorry, I was just thanking for a coffee.
He dropped a coffee off it.
Sorry, my manners got on the way of listening.
My daughter sometimes calls my husband Guy.
Okay, yuck, sorry.
It's not a funny joke, thank you for saving me on that.
You were so welcome, you don't deserve it.
Yeah, so my mum then helps out the girls and calls guy Daddy.
What is just Dad?
She calls him Daddy.
I think Daddy is because, you know, we...
That's the flirty part.
Dad is trying to keep it all nice and, like, norm, right?
So that the kids know what's up.
Daddy is like, yeah, I'm playing by the rules, but I'm also making my own.
No, Daddy.
I think you become dad when they turn like five or six.
Daddy when they're young.
They're daddy?
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay.
So your mum calls you daddy too?
My mum comes, she looks after my son twice a week and I'll come home and she'll go, Daddy's home.
I've been showing you my wife to do that for years.
So Christine, your mum doesn't call you daddy.
God no.
God no.
Then my wife would never do it.
Yeah, that Christine calls me daddy.
Producer Carl?
Just out of interest, Meg.
So currently is your mum...
and Guy, they're just sort of home alone.
Yes.
And she's wandering around calling them.
Interesting.
They're just by themselves and she's called.
And it's weird that days is at daycare.
No, she's.
And the other baby doesn't even talk yet.
So she's just going, hello, daddy.
Morning Daddy.
Morning Daddy.
Morning Daddy.
Morning Daddy.
Nobody doesn't know what's been said, so who cares?
It's almost like they're the only two people in the room.
I wait under the edge of who's calling your partner daddy who really doesn't need to be.
What?
Is it just going to be mother-in-law is?
Yeah.
What about what?
Who can call?
you daddy. Who currently calls you daddy? And who are you calling daddy?
Yeah, or is there like mother-in-law nickname that's... I was trying to think is there
anybody out there that can relate to us.
I think you know, I don't mind that. Tell us just calling you daddy and we say if it's
okay or not. Yeah, because we're trying to work out what the daddy rules are. What are the daddy
rules? Mother-in-law is, they're okay. Sure. No, I don't think they are.
I think they are. If my, Susan, if you're listening and you call me daddy, no.
You're just sexualize it. It's innocent. Hey, if you want to call me daddy when you call.
I'm not going to say no.
Time to get naughty at 6.40.
My mum calls my husband, Daddy, when the girls are in the room and in the same house.
My daughters.
I would love to monitor that and see if at any point she calls him Daddy and you're like, where are the kids?
Is her partner with her on the trip or is it?
No, Graham's at home.
Unawares.
What about if your daughter's in Kendi and then he's just got your baby and, um,
I'm pushing her around for a coffee.
She's around, but like, right, she doesn't speak English.
I'm pretty sure she doesn't, yeah, she doesn't speak anything.
I'm pretty sure she won't call him Daddy then.
She'll call him Guy then.
It's when it's Daisy is around.
Interesting.
It's the only time I've noticed it.
Pretty sure.
And when she sees Daddy.
And it's like, too Daisy.
It's like, all right, well, Daddy's just over here right now.
So she's like speaking to Dave.
When she says Daddy.
Yeah.
Is it in a way that goes?
Oh, for God.
I say you guys are sick.
Daddy.
Or is she sort of saying it just Daddy.
Oh, Daddy's looking good today.
Like when he comes out of the house and he's got like a new shirt on the thing.
You're both perverted men.
Josh just texts and say,
me'd be the same if guys' mum or dad called you mummy.
They do to my girls.
But mommy hasn't got the same thing.
Mummies coming.
But that's so gross.
Yeah, like I don't know.
My wife's never asked me to call her mummy.
Yeah.
Speaking to the girls, they'll be like,
Mommy's coming home soon.
Yeah.
I think there is some audio on the system of my mom calling me daddy
because we talked about this while you're away.
Oh, delicious.
Oh, really sorry.
No, no, no, because it's great
because I thought I was the only one
but it's actually weird because it's my mum
because she looks after my son twice a week
and I'll get home to relieve her
and she heads home and she'll go, bye daddy.
Like as she wants...
And so...
Oh, that's Usher, that's not your name.
It is quite confronting when your mum is called you by your name
your whole life and then all of a sudden she starts calling you daddy.
Suddenly you daddy. It must be weird for them too.
In a non-sexual way, in a very innocent way
must be really weird to raise a child
and then all of a sudden they're referring to you as, well, you're referring to them as dad or mum,
whether you've called them that name their whole lives.
They've been very bizarre.
Don't you think, Clamp?
No, we've lost him.
He's deep in the daddy's home.
I've found, is this it?
Let me see.
Dad.
Oh, like, hello, daddy.
Do you know why it's weird to call him, Daddy?
Do you have any understanding of culturally what that means?
No.
No.
Okay, so who wants to explain?
Shocker-knott.
Oh, no, it's your mum, mate.
Well, I only call him Daddy when George is around.
It's daddy, isn't it, darling?
Yeah, but the thing is, yes.
Yeah, let's stand it there.
Right.
The thing is.
So did you have to explain to her that it was sentencing?
Yeah, but she's still, she forget.
She's still calling me Daddy.
She doesn't forget.
Oh, she knows now.
She can't play ignorant anymore.
She's just stopped saying it in that way, you know?
And they're like, hey, Daddy.
She doesn't do it.
I'm joking, obviously.
Oh, why would you joke about that?
I don't know.
just to finish this break.
He does anything to finish the break.
He's committed.
Clint Megan Dan.
The Edge.
The Edge's easy money.
Here's your shot at $10,000.
Here we go to three past seven.
We are minutes away potentially from celebrating with Talia.
Who-hoo.
Talia.
Talia, first time caller.
How long have you been listening to us?
And this is the first time you've called?
A while.
When I got my new tag,
because all I could get was your radio station.
Oh, that's not nice.
But now you like us?
No, I love that.
Yeah, I've been listening to your guys' podcasts too.
So I actually really do enjoy it.
We do want to get into the game, but I do wonder, for other people who have stumbled across us,
how long does it take as...
Get used to us.
Yeah, before, you know, people say, it's an acquired taste.
You need to, you know, just keep doing it, and eventually you'll enjoy it.
Yeah, you got forced it.
It didn't take me too long.
Oh, God.
Okay, God.
Oh, that's good.
Because sometimes it takes a long time to get an acquired taste.
Yeah, there we can red wine, olives.
Go on, go on.
No, no, no, it was, yeah, it was Dan's humour.
Oh, bless you.
Oh, Dan, bless you.
Just clint, yeah.
Oh, is it anything about me.
And Meg's just here.
Yeah, anyway, that's all we've got time for.
Let's push on with the game, Talia.
Okay.
$10,000.
You've got to give us 10 answers, starting with the letter,
Meg gives you on 30 seconds, you can pass.
And we've got time, we'll come back, but no repeated answers.
Let's do it, Talia.
Do you want Meg to read the ones?
The questions are me?
No.
It's always Meg.
Okay, let's do this.
The letter is E.
E.
Okay.
Here you go Talia.
They're still like Talia.
Give me a boy's name.
Eka.
Something you have for breakfast.
EX.
A movie.
Oh.
I don't know.
Pass.
Something that you can read.
An e-book.
Something you can find in the gym.
Exercise equipment.
A Pixar character.
Pass.
A dessert.
Is it a funny, Talia?
Movie, I thought E.T.
It really is harder.
It really is harder.
It really is harder to do here.
But it's okay.
I thought E.T.
might have been the movie, Talia.
What else did you have there met?
I had E.T.
Is E.T.
A Pixar movie?
No, no, that was just a movie.
E.T.
E. Prelove.
The Pixar character.
Oh, I think Pixar movie.
Yes.
No, the Pixar character was Ednamode, Eve, or E.
That was hard on.
Yeah.
Hey, look, sometimes you have the questions for you.
for you away, sometimes you don't.
Thanks, Talia.
Back again, at 8 o'clock,
your chance to have a crack at winning 10 grand with easy money.
I'll win her over eventually.
I'm more of an acquired taste.
I'll take longer.
You'll get her.
You'll get them all eventually.
Well, if you didn't like you before,
you just got on the way over $10,000
with your tricky questions.
Give it another couple of years.
Another nail in the coffin there.
Versus Meg and Dan.
I've challenged Clint to an art off, per se,
because we, me and Dan
are teaming up to try and see if there's anything
in the entire world that we can beat Clint at.
He is good at everything,
whether he's practiced, whether he hasn't,
he backs himself, and I'm backing myself on art.
I think I can paint a better picture that hopefully,
no, that will earn more money than him.
And we've done our paintings,
and it is complete.
You got given longer time, but you said you didn't need it.
No, it was kind of like that.
I've never been this kid before, like when you're in an exam.
I always used the whole time.
But with art, I just, I don't know, I was just feeling it.
And I was like, I just left early because I'm done.
I like to think that it's Meg, myself and the listener family up against Clint.
I think next, I think we want a listener to go up against him in their specialist topic.
Yeah, we're the people.
We're the underdogs growing up against this person that is perfect at everything.
So I'm hoping that this will be my thing, my moment.
Okay, well, we hadn't seen each other's...
art until yesterday and we went in privately and were recorded in terms of our reaction
of what we thought of the others work.
Yeah, so we haven't heard each other's reactions to our pieces yet.
Can I say, and I don't think we've talked about this much, is that the theme was beauty.
So you could do within that whatever you wanted in the art world.
You could have done a sculpture.
You could have done anything.
Yeah, whatever depicts beauty is the theme to you.
Yeah.
I went in and saw Meg's out for the first time you said,
and this was my initial reaction.
It looks rather small before we turn it around.
But let's see.
Yes.
That's annoying.
I mean, she is very clever, isn't she?
I mean, you know what it is.
Mine's obviously a bit more abstract.
I've left mine up to more of like interpretation.
Meg's is obviously very much obvious what it is.
I mean, I feel like you'd see that in any doctor's waiting room.
Okay, if I'm being honest, she's done a great job.
If I had to choose between one of these pieces of artwork
to go in my house, not even a question.
I'm hanging up my art every day of the week.
What a...
What?
Oh, that's just personal preference, but that's art, isn't it?
What do you mean you'd hang up your piece?
Which I got to see for the first time yesterday.
That's like Picasso hanging up one of his pieces in his house
or Harry Stiles playing his music in his house.
And then, when your brother was like,
I need more.
I need more.
So I can't remember what I said it actually,
but there's another clip.
Feels like I could probably,
I'd probably find that and go,
oh yeah,
something you'd find an op shop.
Whereas mine,
mine is more like,
like a professional couple.
They've got like polished concrete floors,
very expensive,
quirky type
mass murderers.
And artwork and stuff.
Yeah.
That's where my art lives.
Right.
This one is more,
um,
my nana would love it.
God, he talks.
He loves to talk.
Right.
Well, do we have my reaction to your piece?
Sure.
But it smells like paint in here.
And looking.
I actually think it's kind of good.
Oh, that pisses me off.
I like that he's left the darts in there.
It's kind of artistic.
I like hate it.
I mean, I would never have it,
but I can see why somebody might.
How does he do it every time?
I can also see how Dan said it looks like a seagull that's been murdered.
Damn it.
That man is good at everything.
That kind of pisses me off.
This annoys me about you, Meg.
And, you know, I have to be Team Meg on this
because I am your team and I want you to beat Clint.
But you have to start believing in yourself.
This should be studied.
Clint, he's done a terrible piece of art,
yet he's so confident.
You've done a beautiful piece of art,
and you've lost confidence.
It is unbelievable.
Wait, there's more from Meg,
so maybe she started putting the knife in towards the end.
Popping back in again.
I'm a bit angry
that that doesn't seem like the theme,
at all. Like, I would have painted something
different if I had an open theme of do
whatever you wanted, but the theme
was beauty. So I had painted,
you know, a sunset because I was like
that's what people think is beautiful. But I don't see that as
beauty. That's darts on a board with, like, blood.
Can I jump in here? I will say
this is cow, by the way. Hello, beauty
is pain. Oh, piss off.
You know what? I'll say this, Meg,
when you were giving birth to your beautiful daughter Miller,
in the moment when you were screaming those animalistic
cries and you were sweating
and you were in pain.
Was that beautiful at the time?
Not really, I wouldn't imagine.
But then when you were handed your beautiful daughter
and placed into your arms.
No, shut up. What are you doing?
You're like, oh my God, from this...
Don't relate, your crappy piece of art
of $2 pain in 25 minutes to the birth of my daughter.
They hand you your daughter and you go, wow, it was worth it.
Yeah, it looked like a sunset.
It was everything beautiful in my eyes.
Next, we're going to take it to the public.
The two paintings, we're going to get them
normal people around the world
to judge them.
Around the world.
Yeah, we've gone international, baby.
Oh, okay.
And 10 grand up for grabs eight again this morning.
It's Clint versus Megan Dan.
All right, I've challenged Clint off.
Clint off, Clint to an art off.
I'm challenging him at my specialty skill,
which is something I've worked on for years
to see who can sell their piece for the most amount of money
and be hailed the winner.
Yeah, the theme was beauty.
You both painted a lovely,
painting a couple of days ago. They're finished.
You've both seen them now. I've seen them.
Next, we're going to be revealing them tomorrow to everybody and they're going to go to
auction. Yeah. But first, I took them to the streets yesterday to see what the general
public thought, and I got some mixed opinions, if I'm honest.
I'm concerned for Clint. Good. Like, honestly, is he okay?
Oh, okay.
Well, I like the action that's going on here. There's darts.
and it's giving Princess Cyrus
Like
Oh, okay
When I look at that
Is it giving Seagull's shat on it?
Oh,
Leading the witness
Yeah, maybe with a bad infection
Yeah, I think they've got like
UTI
UTI
She's giving me Seagull with a UTI
She was loving it
And then she's all lo lo lo lo lo lo
With you
Okay, one more
Yeah, it's something in it
They're trying to express himself
He's doing a bit much here on that I reckon
Yeah
It looks like a seagull's internally combustive
and shout itself at the same time in front of the canvas.
Objection.
Yeah, yeah.
It does actually, that's what's happened.
And it would need to go toilet when it did.
You would be a terrible, terrible way.
Perhaps I was leading the witness slightly.
Yeah, well, Clint, you were wearing a beret backwards and shirtless.
You looked like wank.
It was not shirtless.
Objection.
It was a leather beret.
I was clothed.
It was a, think of that.
A leather beret with no shirt on.
I did have a leather beret.
You got changed three times.
Then you were in shorts all of a sudden.
Did you remember that?
Yeah.
And I didn't buy that.
for the painting, I bought that in Japan.
So Meg was fully clothed when she was doing hers.
And I reckon you had much more positive reviews from the people.
Okay, let's see if Dan leads the witness into some dark place
when getting reviews on Meg's painting.
I want to be in Meg's space.
It's just quite beautiful.
It looks like a lovely sunset.
What about her painting, though?
Oh, you are.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry, sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you want me to say it looks amazing?
Because it looks amazing.
Great.
Yeah. No, just be honest, it's hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's in the eye.
Yeah, I don't even think it's really, no, I don't think it's in the eye of, I think it's just the eye of anyone looking at it, to be honest, I think pretty clear.
Weird that he was like, what do you want me to say?
Yeah, I didn't like that, but you could cut that bit off.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't edit these, so.
Oh, well, that's just nice.
That's just talented.
Oh, wow, Meg.
Jeez, like the water, she's done really well there.
The sun kind of reflecting through the hills and across the waves and that, well done, Meg.
That's just really good.
Now I don't want to lead the witness again.
I wonder if that goes all mine though, if we just...
We are doing the auction, putting them up online,
and the winner is going to be the highest bidder, right?
Yeah.
I kind of am tempted to put a bid on Meg's.
Like, genuinely, I would hang that in my house,
and I'd be so proud to say that when people come over and they go,
that's a lovely piece.
I go, that's my friend Meg that painted that.
We did discuss, and I don't mind if this isn't a rule,
that the person that bids on the artwork
can't be someone that we have...
being face to face with this year.
Oh, that's too far.
What about not related to?
No friends or family.
Dan, do you want to break up?
Yeah, I'll break up.
Or it's a free-for-all and if Dan wants to drop,
like let's say my aunt gets a $1,000 bid.
Dan's got to find $1,100 to help his friend win.
I'm fine with that.
The only market your painting has is STI clinics
because they can put it up in there and go,
this is like a...
Rejection!
Where is the jump?
This is an artist's impression of syphilis.
Okay, producer Carl.
Okay, so these two paintings, like, they're going to go on Trade Me, right?
So tomorrow we're going to put them on Trade Me,
and there's going to be an auction over the weekend,
and whoever gets the highest bid wins on Monday.
I do need something.
I'm just setting up the auctions at the moment for tomorrow,
but I'm going to need a description.
There's a description thing.
So I need a description from each of you.
Oh, maybe we do that tomorrow.
That's a good idea.
Tomorrow we get to, like, say why our painting.
is a display of beauty
because I think there's a little confusion with mine
I'd like to clear that up.
Because there is like trading
actually says that there's a lot of
writing on description.
It can really help your auction.
So you guys have to do that.
Anyone can bid on them.
Maybe we just do that.
Yeah, anyone can bid on them.
Clint Meg and Dan.
Candle with Meg.
Tyra Banks, known for America's next top model.
Then she had the Tyra Banks show.
And from then on,
she went a little bit dark for a while.
She started off just as a very successful model
was the first, I think,
black woman on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Incredible.
And, yeah, then hosted America's Next Top Model,
one of the most successful reality TV shows of all time.
I remember watching that and her just always gone off at the contestants.
Like, yeah, there was a scene, famous scene where she was yelling.
That was, yeah, yeah, that was the, like, I was rooting for you,
it's still a meme.
But she wasn't known to be a yeller.
That was kind of like a shock episode.
Janice, I think, was the more the angry one.
You know how back in the day there was always in the panace.
although there were different people that were the nice one
and Tyra was kind of the nice one, supportive one.
She's been doing interviews because this Netflix documentary has come out
and I have this quote here from her
and I want you guys to play a little bit of a game.
Here we go.
My modeling career, I'm very proud of it
and I know I broke down a lot of doors for women of color
and, you know, just in curves and all that and I know that.
And to me, that's in a museum.
It's like, tick the box, museum, yeah, look at all the things that it did, you know.
But the legacy, the wrong.
Real legacy?
What does she want her legacy to be, boys?
Oh, so this is what she wants it to be?
This is what she wants her legacy to be.
She's like, the modelling's good, it's great, I'm proud of it.
What does Tyra Banks want her legacy to be?
I would say that it's more like someone that supported younger talent.
Okay.
You know, she wants to be that person that brought younger talent to the fray.
Dan, supporting younger models?
Yeah, younger models, you know.
And bringing them to the light.
She did that with Winnie Harlow.
If you know Winnie Hallow, she found her.
Clint.
What else is she done?
Well, what do you think she wants her legacy to be?
Of like people know Tyra Banks and they connect her name to it.
Well, the reason you're bringing this up,
which makes me think that it's this real curveball.
Like she used to be really good at high jump or something.
I think it's some old-ass sport that she used to be good at at high school.
And she's still one of those people that talks about back in the day.
I still hold the record at my high school for something that no one knows or cares about.
Okay.
The answer is.
I want it to be ice cream.
I really do.
And I feel like there's a difference between having to get up to tap dance to make your money.
Yeah.
And I want to create a legacy that even when I'm gone, it means something.
That I become a myth and that really that this is something that is continuing to give people joy.
Whereas with a modeling, it's like it's all about you or your pictures and, oh, look at my runway walk and all of that.
That to me has a ticking time clock.
It's over.
Like an athlete.
It's over.
The ice cream, I want that to live forever.
You want it to be your immortality.
Yes, totally.
Has she got a line of ice cream or something?
Yeah, it's called hot ice cream.
Don't love your job.
Job your love.
That's what she's trying to say.
It's like, what are you talking about?
She has hot ice cream.
She brought it out.
It's called hot ice cream.
And in her first store is...
Is it milk?
and it's her best stores in Australia.
It's called hot ice cream.
It's spicy flavour.
No, no, it's hot.
Like, as in temperature hot.
Yeah, so people are like, it's a hot chocolate.
She's like, no, it's not hot ice cream.
Like, I don't understand how they do deep fried ice cream.
You know, you can order that in, like, Asian restaurants and stuff.
And it's game changer if you haven't had it.
But how the hell do they fry ice cream?
Produce the nap.
Well, it's a quick frying process.
Yeah, on Google, it's described as a warm, pourable, drinkable dessert.
It sounds delicious.
Hot ice cream.
So it's just basically a hot chocolate.
No, she'll, she will, she want like that.
As soon as this.
She won't like that, Dan, it's not hot chocolate.
She's been very upset about that in the past.
It's hot ice cream.
The key part of ice cream is ice cream.
Well, it's called smyze and dream.
So smithes means smile with your eyes.
Honestly, it's a lot.
Sorry, Tyra.
I'm still going to remember you as being a model, unfortunately.
Oh, pucker.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't think I'm going to forget hot ice cream anytime.
So that's weird, man.
I kind of want to try it.
We should get some in.
Trip to Ozzy?
Tripped to Ozzy?
I think so.
It's just milk.
I don't think of her trip to Ozzy to try Tyra Banks' ice cream
is going to wash with the boss.
Damn it.
Clint Meg and Dan.
It's time.
The moment everyone's been waiting for.
It's Clint's Biday update.
Oh!
I think we need to flag this with management and go, you know what?
We need an intervention here.
Well, actually just Scott.
Just trying to give the people what they want.
What do you want, Scott?
I want the update, bro.
Give it to her.
When do you want it?
Now.
Yeah.
All right, buddy.
And tomorrow.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, this is the final one.
Sorry, Scott.
It's the final one, Clint you said.
It's the final update.
Here we go.
Scott, if you don't have him, fuck it tauner,
you can come around and give it a bash, mate.
And have it on the bidet.
Right, both of you, enough.
Get over and done with your stupid final bidet update.
How did it feel?
Let's go.
It's installed.
It is a few holes in the wall because we had to run a power cable down,
so I've got three holes in each wall of the onsuit in the bathroom.
Right.
Wife is stoked about that.
I said, I'll plant.
it up when I work out how to plaster?
What a nightmare.
When I work out how to plaster it.
And you've got wallpaper and it can't match.
You're going to have to wallpaper your whole new bathroom.
Yeah, I got out.
Well, I don't know if, yeah, I'm going to try and do something else there to cover that up.
So I'm going to sort that out.
I put it all in and I was, the plum was leaving as I was coming home from the gym.
You said, I said, oh, let's go.
And he goes to me, hey, mate, you're going to need to give that some time
because I've just put some silicon and stuff around the new toilet.
Right.
So you just can't sit on it right now.
Okay.
And I was like, okay.
And it was like, you know that trend that went around
where you put lollies in front of kids
and then you go, I'm going to go away, don't eat them.
So I'm just staring at this toilet, knowing what it can do,
I touched the seat and it was like toasty warm
and I was like, ha-ha.
So hold on, could you not use the toilet at all yesterday?
Well, and I had to like wait for it to dry.
Yeah, okay.
And my daughter came home, she's like, visiting.
She's like, Dad, what a weird family?
Please, can I use the toilet?
And I said, no, not yet.
But I said, do go get a couple of days.
AAA batteries so we can put them in the remote
because it's got a remote that you can...
Yes.
Honestly, you're only in too many details.
And she says to me, when can I sit on it,
Dad?
Tomorrow morning, babe.
Hold it, Clint, I swear to God,
if this isn't, story, isn't,
and then it dried, and then I sat on the
bidet the end. I'm going to be
so mad at you. This is a pre-update.
We're not doing another update tomorrow.
This is filler. This is genuinely
filler. This is what you mean, and update.
This is the same update that it was yesterday
and the day before.
The update is that you still don't have a...
No, there is a bidet.
I was looking right at it all day yesterday.
It's there.
You don't have a bidet?
You've not been on the bidet.
I've got it.
It's plumbed in.
It flushes.
It's connected to power.
I'm just not allowed to sit on it yet.
Here's the thing.
Clint came in today and he was pissed off
because the plumber or whoever it was
that cut the wall out had left a whole load
of shavings of the wall all over the floor
and he had to wipe them up.
The irony is he has to wipe his floor,
even though now he doesn't have to wipe his ass.
He's still doing more wiping.
So it was a real special moment this morning
that you used.
The bidet, brilliant.
It's done.
No, because only one of them is being done.
The onsuit still needs to be done today.
So I sat there for the last time.
That's the update, Dan.
And use toilet paper in my house for the last time.
If this is leading to your toilet paper funeral poem, my dear, I said that was no.
Yeah, no, me again, we will not let it happen.
Even if he does write it, we just won't play it out.
It's a shame.
He's doing.
He's really eulogy to toilet paper.
Yeah, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to read it out, so I might need to get you.
to do it for me Meg?
No.
Meg, don't give him anything.
Oh, you know, I can't resist a poem.
Does it rhyme?
We're not going to have time today, but maybe tomorrow
you could read the poem.
I'm putting my foot down.
Hey, if you guys keep behaving like this,
you're not going to get to try it.
To be honest, it's not really going to annoy me if I don't.
Oh, that's such a lie.
Okay, tomorrow I promise you
I'm going to have a live reaction.
piece of audio to experiencing it for the first time.
How will I sleep tonight, Clint, when you've told me that?
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, cool you, Megan.
You can experience it live because I know you're not going to be able to wait until tomorrow.
And you know what I think we should do?
We should do a show trip to my house either Friday or next week and all give it a go.
Should us feel trip ever.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Erica from A Little Nudge is joining us back on the show for the first time in a wee while.
She's fantastic on Instagram if you don't follow her already.
A Little Nudge.
Her name is Erica.
goes through texts and conversations in dating apps where they said went a little wrong.
Would people say, actually, I don't really know how to reply here.
How did this go wrong?
And she'll very honestly, but in a warm way, say, hey, this is where you went wrong.
This is what I think you should do to either get it back or end the relationship.
She's smart.
She's very, very good at just seeing it how it is.
And we love her having her on the show.
Yeah, we got her on Zoom this morning.
So good to have you back on the show, Erica.
Thank you so much.
I'm excited to be here.
My favorite post that you've done, Erica, recently,
was it was a text exchange between a guy and a girl on a first date,
and they set up a time for like 7 p.m. to go into dinner.
And then I think he messaged her at about 5 p.m. saying,
I'm here. Where are you?
And she's like, well, we said 7 p.m.
And then he was like, well, I'm going to leave because you're not here.
And it was like 45 minutes he sat there and he kept sending photos.
She was rushing to get there or something.
He seemed insane.
So that was actually my friend, Julia,
and I didn't need to tell anyone it was my friend.
But like, Julie and I went to dinner the other night
and we talked about it because it was ridiculous.
And she even said, like, she goes,
I'm a smart person, you know that.
I'm like, yeah, she goes,
but when I was in it, I just couldn't see how ridiculous he was.
It was wild.
So this guy set up a date, it was all set up for like seven o'clock.
And then at five he goes, I'm waiting.
And he's like, I'm here.
And she's like, sorry, you agreed for five.
And he's like, you're making me wait.
And then it got to like 545.
He's like, right, I'm leaving.
And it was like just so bizarre.
It was so weird.
And he took a picture of himself at the restaurant.
And a lot of people in the comments are like, I don't think he was actually there at that time.
Like maybe it was an old picture.
And funny enough, a friend of mine asked me to go to that restaurant a few days later.
So I went and it looks like it was the same restaurant.
Do you think he did it on purpose because he wanted to pull out of the date.
And so he did it on purpose to like.
make it look like it was her fault, you know?
It was really bizarre. It was like a weird power play.
Yeah, no, he was nuts.
But then you do want crazy to show itself like as quickly as possible.
That's true.
Well, that's certainly true.
Gave yourself a night.
So I don't know.
It was nuts.
I told her, I was like, Julia, your post got the most likes of anything I've ever posted in my life.
It was like, really?
It was crazy.
I mean, Erica, you say that you've got the perfect prompt for every scenario in a relationship.
How did you discover you're so good at this?
Did you go to prompt school or something?
You know what's funny?
I didn't know until recently that other people,
and I'm curious to know if you have this,
have like this internal monologue running in their heads.
And I didn't know until recently that I was in the minority not having that.
Clint doesn't have any of that.
Got to think of aloud.
Yeah.
So I don't have this inner voice.
I don't have someone telling me what to do or whatnot.
And I think that helps me in my job because I realize I don't overthink like many people do.
Now, granted, you know, I have the added benefit of I'm coming in from the outside looking at a situation.
But I often just say the first thing that comes to my mind and it usually works out, okay.
So maybe that's it.
I don't know.
Maybe they're correlated.
All right.
Well, we've got a whole lot of questions that are coming through, Erica.
And we'd love to have you on as like a weekly thing.
Yeah.
Coming up, we want to know what happens when you've a really good first date.
then you just kind of don't hear about them about the second one.
They just kind of go cold a bit.
So I've ever been in that situation where I think a lot of us have.
Great first date.
You both say, that was awesome.
Let's do it again.
And then crickets, what should you do?
Joined by Erica from A Little Nudge on Instagram.
If you want to give her a follow,
especially for someone who's dating and single,
and you want to know what to say, how to say it,
what not to say, which is sometimes just as important.
She has the perfect prompt for every situation.
And we've been getting your text.
Meg's got the first one for you, Erica.
All right, we do have a question.
from one of my listeners.
They said, I went on a date with a guy recently and it went really well.
I messaged him that night and I'd had a great time and he said he did too and would
love to go out again sometime.
Oh, I sound good so far.
That was coming up two weeks ago and I've heard nothing from him.
Two weeks.
Okay.
So here are your choices.
You could do absolutely nothing because this person knows you're interested, knows you exist,
and knows how to contact you
and has not made that effort.
I believe that is your answer.
However, if this is going to bother you indefinitely,
the only thing I would recommend you say,
if anything at all,
is, hey, just wanted to check in,
you had mentioned going out again,
is that still something you were interested in?
However, I do believe you already know the answer.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
That is good, because you're sort of giving him
a little bit of like sass,
but not too much.
I like it.
Well, it's not even SNAS.
It's literally just saying,
you said this.
What do you think about that?
Even though I do believe silence speaks volumes.
Do you think they're playing a bit of Cat Mouser?
Like, he's waiting for her.
She's waiting for her.
I hate Cat and Mouse.
But if he wanted to, he would, right?
Yeah, but then he might be thinking if she wanted to,
she would.
Because she, I don't imagine his message to me there if she hasn't heard anything.
I mean, she is.
Anyone can reach out at any time.
I'm not naive to the fact that most women who date men want the guy to ask her on the second date.
I think she has given him as much information as she could possibly give him.
Another option is I can't tell if you are still interested in going out again.
I love and I can't tell line because it's simply asking for clarification.
But again, someone not reaching out for two weeks, I believe is the clarification.
Someone wants to see you again.
They'll be excited to see you again.
True.
Now, I will say, if he had one caveat,
if he had been texting her consistently for two weeks
without asking her out again,
that's when I would definitely use one of those lines.
Either you had mentioned going out again,
I wanted to see how you felt,
or I can't tell.
But in this case, I do believe the silence is the answer.
All right, thank you, Erica.
A little nut on Instagram.
You can give her a follow.
We will catch you again.
Same time next week.
You know where to find me.
Clint, megan, Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
The edge.
is easy money.
Here's your shot at $10,000.
Good morning, three bus aid on your Thursday.
10 grand on the line, 30 seconds, 10 answers,
and the cash is yours.
That cash is hopefully going to be Graden.
Morning, Graydon.
Morning, guys.
Good morning.
We've got a teacher, another teacher.
Now, we've had success with teachers in the past, Graydon.
In fact, I think, is this the second teacher we've had from Ottawa College?
Possibly.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're big listeners, so maybe.
Oh, I love that.
All the teachers in the...
in the staff room go, mate, you've got to give that easy money thing.
Honestly, it's not that hard.
All right, Graydon.
You'll be the talk of the staff room if you get this.
Your letter this morning is M for Megan.
Megan. Oh, lovely.
Okay, mate. All right. Morning tea will be on you if you get this done.
Here we go. If you need a pass, you can do it quick.
If we've got time, we'll come back. Just no repeated answers.
Good luck, my bro. You can do this.
Okay.
Oh, this first one's a sitter for you, teacher, Graydon.
Give me a planet.
Mercury.

Oh, that's my dead.
That's time.
We've got all year.
Mate, you got mine.
You've got a question 10.
You just didn't get the answer out.
Come on.
What did you say?
Yeah, too.
What did you say?
I said Marvel, but I don't think that's the thing.
Marble.
Yeah.
And the one before they said, my wife.
It's marble.
Yeah, that would have.
We would have given that.
Yeah.
She was expensive.
No, no, we would have.
We would have given that.
The only other one was, is Marble.
Is Marley a holiday destination?
Well, it's in Africa.
I don't know how many people are going,
geez, I really want to go to Africa.
Marble is scientifically not a gemstone.
It's a metaphor for now.
No, it did fix it.
Oh, my heart's going.
So, so close.
Oh, my heart's going.
Thanks, guys.
Does your wife?
The bosses is.
Is your wife in the background?
Yeah, yeah, Libby's right here.
Can we chat with Libby quickly?
Libby, here she is.
Hello.
Hey, Libby.
Would we have paid number nine?
Are you expensive?
Yeah, what do you like?
No, I don't think I am.
Oh!
But she would say that, wouldn't she?
All right, he only got eight.
So that'll make you feel better, greater.
Thanks, Grady.
Congratulations.
Wow, I think that's going to have to be made
into some sort of Hall of Fame.
Yeah.
They sound like a fun couple, don't they?
Yeah, if you're a teacher
and you're not giving easy money a crack.
Oh, what are you doing with your life?
Yeah, he did very well.
Maybe they make too much money teaching.
I don't know.
Coming up next, the truth booth.
I would say one of the most controversial ones we've ever had.
And it's sort of a double-pronged truth booth, isn't it?
There's two little bits of like nuggets of info.
We're like, wow.
I feel bad for Adam.
You don't always feel bad for people in the truth booth, though,
when they reveal their secrets.
And if you've ever been in a situation similar to Adam
where you could give you some advice,
if you're listening to go, I've been there.
Please text us 33-4-3 because we want to try and see if we can find support.
Hopefully you haven't, but no doubt there'll be a few people that have.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast
The Truth Booth
See that way, it's how nervous are they when they get in the truth booth?
It's not too late to back out.
No, no, no, we're good.
Before you start giving us a little inkling,
I always find it really interesting
as to how long people have been keeping it a secret for.
So the secret I've been sort of keeping for probably,
it's been about sort of a year now.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, it's not too old a secret really.
Have you told anyone else or is this the first time you've sort of let anyone hear it?
This is probably the first time of letting anyone hear it, to be honest.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Give us a little taste as to what's going on.
Yeah, so about three years ago, my parents actually ended up splitting up.
I've got somewhat of a relationship with my dad, but I don't see them that much after the split.
So I've got a great relationship with my mum.
and about a year ago my mum actually told me that my father is not my biological father.
Whoa.
A year ago, she told you.
Yes.
And so you've gone through obviously your whole life when your parents were together
and stuff like that, thinking that he is your dad?
Correct, yeah, yeah.
No idea is that he wasn't.
Does your dad know?
Well, that is the, that's the, that's the bomb really.
He's not aware that he's not my biological father.
So obviously your mum knows and she just hasn't let him know?
Yeah, my mum's not let my dad know.
She told me about a year ago.
I'm still sort of coming to terms with it, to be honest.
But yeah, my father doesn't know.
How did she tell you?
Was it in like spite or was in like, I need to sit you down and tell you this?
Is she 100% correct or like confirmed or is it maybe?
She's about 98% sure that it was confirmed, yeah.
So she sort of sat me down.
She said that she's been eating away for years
and she thought it was time to let me know
but she sort of can't bring herself to tell my father.
So how old are you?
I'm 27.
So it's been 26 years of him believing.
Do you have any knowledge of her,
your real dad is in the way that is it a family friend or somebody that has been in your life or no?
I'm not 100% sure.
My mum said it could be sort of one of a couple of people.
Go, Mark.
Wow, there's a lot of secrets then going around because dad's got to find out.
The new dad's going to find out.
Okay, well, we'll take a quick breather and then we'll come back at him because a lot of questions from a lot of people, no doubt.
And maybe the odd person who has found themselves in a similar situation before has to
What you do.
Yeah, if you have any advice, text it through or call us how I don't at the edge.
Maybe you've been in this situation.
That's heartbreaking, eh?
All right, let's get back into it.
The Truth Booth.
All right, we've got Adam in the Truth Booth this morning.
He just told us if you've only just tuned in,
that at the age of 27, his mum's decided to reveal a secret.
She's been keeping his entire life that his dad isn't his biological father,
something he's only just found out.
and something that his dad, that he knows for the last 27 years, also has no idea about.
He's yet to know.
First of all, Adam, I'm so sorry, man.
Like, it's got to be such a hard thing to deal with.
And obviously, I've never been in your position, so I don't know.
Does it change your feelings towards your dad at all?
Yeah, I mean, it was a huge shock to me, to be honest with you.
We don't have, like, the best relationship at the moment anyway, but it's definitely sort of, it's changed my relationship.
with my mum a little bit as well.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Taken this long to let me know.
After she's sort of told me for about six months,
we didn't speak, but we just sort of recently started trying to sort of mend that
relationship and I'm trying to stay it from her perspective.
You must have had so many questions for mum,
especially when she says it could be one of two people.
She's 98% sure it's definitely not him.
And your dad or not, you know, the dad that you grew up with,
do you look like him at all?
Has there been any sort of inkling at all ever that,
that he's not your dad.
Honestly, for me, I've never thought anything about it.
I just assumed that he was my biological dad, you know.
Did your mum say why?
She told you it was your biological dad
and made you believe that he was for 26 years your life?
Honestly, she haven't really got to that point yet.
I think what's happened is maybe she's gone outside of the relationship.
Early on, and she's sort of been feeling a huge amount of guilt.
Do you think he maybe deserves to know,
or do you think that would break him?
I think he does deserve to know
Yeah
You know
Is the ideal that you go and do
Like a DNA test with your old man
And see what comes back
I think so yeah
I mean I think that's what I'd like to do
And I think my dad deserves to know
Would you, I don't know
Would you want a relationship
With that somebody
Don't know who
Potentially is your biological father
They might be desperate to know
They might have never had a kid
True
Yeah I mean honestly
I'm probably
not looking for a relationship with someone else completely now, you know what I mean?
Yeah, right, yeah.
My dad, as far as I'm concerned, my dad did raise me.
He's my dad.
Of course, yes.
Yeah, it's still pretty fresh.
Can I also pop it in say that he is your dad?
True.
And you are his son because you were raised by him, right?
Like, just, I know I understand, like, we're talking about biological and blood and stuff,
but he is still, do you know what I mean?
I don't want to take that away from you.
You find the guy that shares your blood versus the guy who got a father.
who got up and changed the nappies
and provided for your family
and put you through school and was there for you
when you fell off your bike, all those things that a dad does.
I think the fact that even if he's not biologically your father,
I don't think that takes everything away from the fact
that he was and is your dad.
Exactly, yeah.
Yeah, that's sort of my thinking as well.
I really hope that that 2% that leaves your mum
a little unsure is actually how it ends here.
And it turns out he actually was your dad
the whole time and your mum didn't have
any need to be worried that he wasn't.
Exactly, yeah.
I mean, that'd be the ideal.
Oh, thank you for sharing.
That's great.
Hey, man, and our truthbirth today, Adam.
Maybe the first step opening up about it.
Exactly, yeah, thanks, guys.
A lot of texts and sadly, a lot of other people
that go, mate, I've been in the exact same situation as Adam.
Yeah, like basically the exact,
which is crazy, really.
Yeah, it is.
And I unfortunately was, in a way, kind of hoping that
so he could feel some camaraderie and see what you have done.
would love to know what your advice is.
We can keep you anonymous as well if you don't want.
If you unfortunately would have loved to take two or a do-over when you broke the news
and there's a right way and a wrong way to...
And how do you feel about it now, years on?
And if you've only just tuned in this morning, Adam was in the truth booth and dropped this one.
About three years ago, my parents ended up splitting up.
And about a year ago, my mum actually told me that my father is not my biological father.
Yeah, and his...
Dad doesn't know either.
Still doesn't know.
He's the only one now that doesn't know, basically.
So we wanted to know if you'd be in similar situation for Adam to try and figure out what to do with his.
And we've got Jamie, voice this guy, so.
Good morning, Jamie.
You have a similar story.
Good morning.
Yes, I do.
I have a similar story.
Okay, so what happened to you?
So I'm 34 years old now.
So when I was 30, I had a big falling out with my younger brother.
It was about three months before my wedding over text.
and he texted me
I can't remember exactly the word
but he texted me and pretty much said
you're not our sibling
such and such as not even your dad
and I was just like what
so then I screenshoted
what he said and I sent it to our older sibling
and then she messaged me
she said oh my God I'm so sorry
you know it was never my place to tell you
blah blah blah
and then she must have rang my mum
and then my mum was trying to ring me
yeah so
so why were you the last
Sorry, why were you the last siblings?
I kind of understand if the older siblings knew and they got to a certain nature of times.
I mean, whatever, I get that.
But why did your younger sibling know?
My younger, yeah, exactly.
We never kind of got into that.
Like, I was just, I was so mad at everybody.
I was mad at my mum for a bit, but, you know, I could never, I could never hate my mum.
Yeah.
I love my mom.
Did your whole world come crashing down then?
Because basically everything you believed your whole life was gone.
And your whole family's been alive.
lie.
Yeah.
And like everybody.
And I thought, what else is a lie?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it was, you know, I was stressed from, you know,
with three months ago getting married and then boom, it was that bomb shower.
So, yeah, it was a bit of a rough time for me.
How long did it take you to get over that before it was sort of back to normal?
With my mum, it took about a couple of weeks.
Yeah.
With my other siblings, it was months.
Yeah.
I'd find betrayal of, especially that shame of kind of not,
been the only person that didn't know.
I couldn't get over that, Jamie.
We have Cal as well confirming he doesn't need the voice disguiser.
Thank you very much.
Sorry, Cam.
You've experienced the same thing, my brother.
Yeah, yeah.
So I was legally adopted at the age of one.
Didn't know about this.
My parents got split up when I was about 12.
And, yeah, I don't know if it was spite or guilt,
but my mum told me when I was 12 that what I knew as my dad
wasn't my dad.
Why she out of spite, did you say?
Were you in an argument?
No, they got a, they were going through a very messy divorce.
Oh, my God, you poor.
Oh, good, at 12.
Oh, no, no.
Look, look, I'm perfectly adjusted to it now.
Obviously, being a, being a rebellious teenager, it did make things difficult in the
beginning, but I got through it.
I know who my biological dad is.
I've got a semi-okayish relationship with him, but I was a lot younger
than what Adam was when he found out.
Yeah, Cal, I wonder when you say the age of 12,
because I imagine if you've got a kid that's adopted
and you want to come clean and talk to them about where they've come from,
you don't want to go too young
because they're not mature enough to understand what your gravity of what you're trying to say,
but you leave it too late and then you feel like you kept a secret.
True.
Is 12 the right age to find that stuff out, do you think?
I feel like it's never too young.
Just say from the get-go.
I don't know.
Yeah, look, I don't know what the perfect age is.
I just want to put it out there to Adam
and leave it as a choice to him
but if he wants to reach out
and have a support person, someone who's been
through a semi-similar situation
he's welcome to reach out to me
if you guys want to keep me on afterwards
so I can pass my details to him to
chat. That's really kind of you.
Yeah, why not? Yeah, we'll pass it on.
We'll pass on your number. We'll pass on your number.
We'll pass on your number. I mean, it's having conversations like this
that makes me realize and I think the rest of us here
that our lives are very boring compared to some
people.
Like, that is, like, imagine dealing with that in your life.
Clint's getting a bidet.
Mm, true.
Yeah, that's true.
My goodness.
Stop bringing it up, Meg.
Sorry, about it again.
My fault.
Nightmare.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky B.
And the Winter Olympics are on at the moment.
Zoe Siddowski, uh, Synett has got her second silver.
New Zealand, Zoe Sadowski's Senate,
adding to her collection of Olympic medals with a silver.
So close to getting gold.
She missed out by less than half a point after posting a 87.5 score.
So that's two silvers for Zoe.
How much does she take home in terms of cash?
Yeah, so the people that take home nothing, Norway, Sweden and Great Britain, zero dollars.
And then the next closest is New Zealand.
So we don't give away zero, but we'd give away the least amount when it comes to money.
That's true.
The Great Britain is nothing.
Funny, huh?
That's what's happening.
Maybe they have sponsorship stuff or something they get.
So in New Zealand, if you get a bronze, you get $1,27.
Okay.
If you get a silver, you get $1,811.
And if you get gold, $3,018.
I mean, it's not to be sneezed at, but it's not much, is it?
So that half a point costs always about £1,200.
Yeah.
And also the gold.
And also the gold.
So then we'll just go, unless you specifically want one,
we're going to go straight talking about gold now for countries.
How do these Olympians, so just a quick question, how do they make money?
Because, like, it's their full-time jobs.
So it is sponsorship, right?
Sponsorship, for sure.
All right, so let's go to Australia.
Next up, if you win gold in Australia.
Australia, you get $14,111, a huge jump.
Big jump from three.
Very big jump.
Then we're going to go to Denmark, 15,000, Canada, 18,000.
Austria, 23,000.
This is for gold.
Now we're going to go to the big boys, the big bucks.
You live in the USA, you get a gold medal in this Olympics, $37,500.
That's a nice little injection.
Yeah, in America, they're doing quite well.
They always do quite well.
So it must cost whoever's paying decent.
Do you think if you were in the Olympics,
I'd try that little bit harder because of that money?
Also, I must say, I think these are American prices,
so they might be a little bit higher in New Zealand dollars.
But do you get taxed on bonuses like this?
I think so.
If it's income from what you do for a living, you'd think so.
Still get taxed.
All right, big jump, boys.
Where are we moving to Italy?
You win a gold in Italy?
$213,418.
Yep, 71K if you just get the bronze.
And that's why you see some of them crying.
Yeah.
Because you're like, you don't realize
they've just made quarter of a million dollars.
And finally, the place that we, if we were athletic people,
would be trying to get citizenship in,
would be Singapore.
Because if you get the bronze, you get $197,282.
Go Singapore.
You get the silver.
You get $394,497.
And if you were,
in gold in Singapore this year at the Olympics.
Watch them on the podium, boys, because they're going to be crying, $78,97.
Almost a million, wow, three quarters of a million dollars.
You retire.
I get one gold and I just become really fat.
And that's why we're not Olympians, because that's our mindset.
I'll be like, oh, I'm done it.
But yeah, $78,000 if you win gold in the Singapore, in the Olympics in Singapore.
It doesn't seem fair, right.
It should be the same for every athlete.
Yeah.
Because they're all winning and losing a different thing.
Yeah, but it's what their government puts behind them or not.
I know.
It's what it means to them.
Singapore have only ever achieved six medals in the Olympics,
one gold, two silver and three bronze.
So maybe that's why they offer up so much cash because I,
we're not going to have to pay it.
That's so sad.
But yeah, it'd be very, very amazing.
So if you do see somebody in the Olympics,
you're watching, you go, oh my gosh,
there's a Singapore person who's podiumed,
they'll be happy.
They'll be very happy.
I'm with Miles.
I'm the same.
Miles is texting and said,
that's why I don't want to become an Olympian.
This is not enough cash in it.
And only that reason, eh, that's why you've chosen not to.
Yeah, but I think they're getting good money from the sponsorships.
Like I think Zoe's Siddowski-Senate.
She's getting money from Burton.
I know she's sponsored by them.
Yeah, and as she should, I saw that she's, you know,
all I saw was the branding all over her and her and her board and she deserves it.
And if any of them are cracking a red bull during an interview,
and then I'll do on that for free.
That's $300 a crack.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'd love to know what is the incentive for whatever you do,
if you play sport or if it's at work and you have, like, a weird incentive
that people be quite surprised to find out.
Our incentive is if we do good, we keep our jobs.
Just. Oh, just.
Oh, yeah.
You're lucky at that.
Do you have an incentive much like, I suppose,
the Olympic medals, where if you do this or you don't do this,
I don't know, there's some sort of like, there's a carrot in it for you.
We'll give you a car, stuff like that.
Okay, if you are in the Olympics this year,
there are some incentives that if you win a medal,
that could be quite nice in the hand.
So in New Zealand, you get $3,018 for a good.
gold. In Singapore, $78,9707. Very big job, very different.
It's a huge golf. If you know you're one of the, I don't know, like fast people in the world,
like Usain Bolt, whatever, how hard is it to get Singaporean citizenship and then compete for them?
I wonder if there's a whole load of different nationalities just in the Singapore team.
Well, isn't that funny, you don't normally see that, but I do it with like rugby.
Yeah, you do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of Tongans playing for Japan.
Yeah, definitely.
Some of the sex three saying, my hubby works for a boat company,
and after 10 years of service, they give you one of the boats.
Now, that's cool.
That's wild.
There's a difference between like a cheap boat and a very expensive boat.
I wonder what the threshold is.
Yeah.
Like a dinghy or a lor-ditch.
Unfortunately, Amy isn't able to talk,
but she said, I used to work in an op shop.
If we sorted one ton of clothing every day,
we would get an extra $100 for the week.
It was actually pretty easy as well to do.
One ton seems like a lot.
It does seem like a lot.
But I guess when it's like clothing and you're doing it all day.
Tan, that's wild.
I don't know if this is legal.
At our work, if we don't take a sick day all year,
we get an extra three days annual leave the following year.
That doesn't feel legal.
That just encourages people to come to work.
Sick.
I would.
I know, Dan, you've got a ham foot and mouth right now
and you've got splisters all over your palms.
And then I get three days at the end of the year.
If I can't say, here we go.
Shush.
If we take home an award at our end of year awards night,
we get to go to Fiji at the end of the year.
and our partners are included.
That's nice.
There's a lot of ones.
We spoke to someone earlier this week
that had a travel one.
Someone else has said something similar.
If we reach Target at the end of the year,
we get a 10K travel voucher
and three weeks leave.
Damn.
I think your wife works for Spark.
I've emceed a few Spark Awards nights.
They have like cash bonus
for people that win awards.
They're very generous with their employees.
A lot of those big companies do.
They're really good to work for.
I'm going to read this text
because it says, don't say my name
and I don't trust either of you boys to do that
and get it really not.
So I'm not going to say a name.
but technically this is confidential.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so no names.
Don't, Daniel.
But some of the high school rowing coaches in New Zealand
get paid bonuses if kids win medals
up to 5K per gold.
That's good.
Rowing.
Like rich parents paying the coach.
No, like the coach would win 5K if the kids were medals.
But from who? Who's paying the coach?
I guess the schools?
Rohing's, like, there's a lot of money in rowing.
Like a lot of the big prestigious schools do rowing.
Oh, that's good.
My dad said to me if I was 12 and I didn't smoke sick,
He said, give me 100 bucks at my 21st.
That's a different incentive in a way, the sort of workplace one.
Unless you're dad's your boss.
Oh, we've got her Thursday.
Did you do it?
Did you give the hundy?
I did do it.
I got 200 in the end because I came clean.
I actually did smoke a cigarette.
I threw up like a...
It was awful.
Never smoked since.
But, yep, I got $200 in my 21st.
Oh, that works?
I've got a mate of mine.
He's got, like, teenage girls.
And he pays them pocket money, like, specifically every week to not vape.
That's crazy.
I don't know what it is, but if they don't vape,
they keep getting paid every single week.
As soon as he catches in with a vape, the money stops.
They can just do that in private, though, and you'd never know.
Maybe we need to talk about childhood incentives.
I got paid $100 at the end of every year
if I went another year without a filling, and I've never had one.
Have you not got any fillings?
I've never had a filling in my life, yeah.
I looked after my teeth.
And my brother's the same, we never had a filling.
Wow.
Because we got $100 at the end of the end of the year.
I know, I think, but for the 90s.
Yeah, and also she's got really lovely teeth now.
So it's a win-win, really.
I thought they were fake, to be honest.
Holy shit!
You made it the whole way through.
