This is a podcast from Rover. Your mornings with Clint Meag and Dan. It's breakfast. Good morning, 6 a.m. almost on your Wednesday. Good morning. Now I know how Meg feels sometimes when she eats her breakfast during the show and she made lovely person that she has made me breakfast this morning. And I just had a mouthful of porridge.

Yeah, we're about to go on here. I'm such a porridge going. It's so sad. My husband makes pancakes on the weekend for the kids. I'll still have my porridge. Yeah. Now it's Scott and Clint, this is the most. decadent breakfast. It's so delicious.

It's got just porridge. Then it's got cream in it. Then sugar. Then yogurt. I've heard of all those things. And then blueberries. And some honey. Yeah. But Clint, Clint is a very funny little man. And he doesn't like warm baking. So he doesn't think he'd like warm porridge. Yeah, like warm porridge with like cold yoga and stuff.

Warm baking just blows my mind. It really does. My wife and kids will make cookies or something. She'll be like, do you want one? I'm like, when they've cooled down. Oh, this is the best time when they're hot. I know. Or warm. Isn't it wild, Dan?

It's one thing I still can't get my head around with you. I like when they cool down and they make a heart. I used to go to Mrs. Higgins cookies. Yeah. And I'd go give me a warm one that is just out of the oven. That's like the key. Do they still make Mar Higgins? Yeah, Mrs. Higgins.

Oh, gosh. I remember when they used to go to the cookie time factory and you get all the off cuts and stuff. Do they still do that? Yep, you can do that. Yeah, you can do that. There's a place near my place. If you ever come out all the way out west.

Yeah, there's a little cookie time factory there. No, nobody got time for there. Yeah. You don't have to stop and do another charge. Have you got charging stations out there? Dan was out racing his electric car with Carl this morning. Yeah. Just like two six-year-olds?

Yeah, there was a lot of people arriving to work this morning, being like, what are you guys doing at 5 a.m. in the morning? How do you guys organise that between you? We just text go. Do you want to meet tomorrow morning 5 a.m. in the car park? It sounds like a drug deal. But we have to do it in the dark because otherwise other people see us and don't think we're not cool.

You lose cool points. Yeah, they are. They do it in the underground car park away from our building. Well, we made it jump this time. It was awesome. Golly cool, eh. Hey, The Imposter, back at 7 o'clock this morning. We've heard from Lucy and Indy. Hopefully you have.

We can recap them for you before 7 if you like. And Isaac is the last person who is saying that this happened to him. So when I was 12 years old on Christmas morning, we woke up to a police helicopter landing on our backyard and a SWAT team in our house. Okay. One of them's telling the truth Other two are lying Clint me and Dan

Edge Breakfast The Edge You know one of those situations where you say something and you instantly go I shouldn't have said that before they answer because you know the answer

is not going to be what you wanted to hear So I was in there And I've never seen this lady before I think she's a mother of one of the kids there And I went in there And she And like everybody's so nice

It's such a lovely creation Everybody's so lovely And you sort of chat to people Yeah of come in and out Honestly, that's the worst. When you're chatting people and you're just like, come on, George, let's go, let's go. And you know, the longer they faff around,

the more small talk you're doing, and then you look over your kid, and all of a sudden they're doing something else that picked up the crowd. And you're like, mate, we've gone away. To go. I know. I'm running out of things to say to this lady, I don't know.

Yeah, but I do like talk. I'm like one of the mums, because I'm one of the few dads that picks the kids up. It's usually mums. And so I'm growing down with all the mums. We're all gossiping. And so All the hot dads here

Area's hot dads Yeah, area's hot dad They call me No, they don't And anyway So this lady walked in And I've seen her a couple of times before But sort of never

Take and played too much notice of her And she walked in And she was limping Really badly Like sort of Like she came in It's got already Most crazy

She's a daycares They've got like two gates So it keeps all the kids in So she's struggling with one of the gates And I went over to help her And I said Oh God, what have you done You've got a limp

and instantly as I said it I was like Daniel why did you say that and she goes yeah oh no I've always had a limp I had a car crash when I was 12 and she's like in her 40s now so she's always had a limp It's not like you were like

Was it your 12th birthday last week? Yeah And she was lovely about it Terrible your age Why would you even bring that Why would you say And I had a bat pedaling and go Oh sorry like it wasn't that

You know noticeable It's not your fault You probably used up all your small talk inside. Your brain was like, I don't know. I'm just going to say what I see now. My mum has done that a few times away. Afterwards I've gone, why did you say that? She goes, I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. She gets angry at herself where one time she saw somebody parking and disabled car park. She goes, oh, she like alluded that they didn't have anything and then he took his leg off. So like that was... Oh, God, imagine having to do that to prove that you know. He was like a tour guide, so he had a bit of a laugh with it with mum.

It was a great viral video of some... of people filming a green Lamborghini recently in a disabled car park and it was like, this disgusting, this disgusting. The dude came out and he was a W amputee. I was like, hey, amputees can have expensive cars too, mate. Yeah, yeah, true. Yeah, so there you go.

So just think before you talk. I think that's the lesson. Yeah, that's the lesson. There are people in life, and I think we are all three. All three of us are these types of people where any conversation we enter, it's like we're halfway through some sort of sports game and we're playing from behind, and we're trying to do everything we can to get our team back.

whereas the responsibility shouldn't be on us but I always feel like it is if I'm talking to somebody I don't know it's my responsibility to get rid of the silence yeah yeah you feel the silence oh you don't need to fill it just end the conversation and walk off it's like some people just have no ability

to end a conversation they just keep talking I'm like come on you've had three opportunities the chat lulled stop there yeah the person is probably trying to get away from you Clint and you're sitting there trying to just keep filling in silence You're the same person as me.

You just asked the lady with the limp how she got it. Yeah, and then she said, no, I've had it since I was 12. And then I cut loose. I was out there. See you later. Silent. I didn't keep talking. I was out.

Look at this lovely little cubs of kittens It's kind of cute though in that way A imposter Is happening again at 7 o'clock We have Lucy and Indy Who have already told their stories And Isaac's telling his story at 7 So we'll get you back up to speed next

if you're like, wait, what's going on? How do I award $500 to somebody who I think is not lying? I will explain a few minutes and MEC's got a scandal update. We'll get two and three on the edge. It's breakfast, Clint McGinn, Dan. One truth. Two lies. And $500.

All right, a crazy story being told by three different people. We hear from Isaac at 7 who says this happened to him. So when I was 12 years, old on Christmas morning. We woke up to a police helicopter landing on our backyard and a SWAT team in our house. Now I instantly, he sounds confident

in his storytelling. He sounds like he's not really reading it. He's saying that off the top of his head. Yeah, he does say it. I reckon he's telling the truth. Well, Indy said earlier this week, actually on Monday, that it happened to her family and this is why.

So it was actually like nothing bad or sinisterous happening. So we were staying at my aunt and uncle's house, and they basically had a friend who was in the police, and they thought it would be like a really awesome Christmas surprise for us kids if they would come and pop by. No, that's a friendly visit from the police. Oh, Dan's feeling confident with the guy.

We were thinking which cop is going to give up their Christmas to do that, but I think we failed to realize that a lot of people in the police or in government jobs will have to work Christmas Day. Would they be doing the bare minimum on that day? Like if someone said to me, I was working on Christmas Day, that's bad enough. And they said you're going to go and surprise some kids. I'd be like, but if I was flying the chopper and looking for baddies and there weren't any, and they were like, hey, we're not far from Meg's place.

I'll swing in and go so high to the kids for a bit. It's Christmas. Kids love helicopters. Good luck landing on her deck. She's got hardly any backyard. You'd have to be a bloody good pilot clip. Yeah. It'll be a very small helicopter.

The helicopter is a lot of the time around Meg's area anyway. Yeah, it is. It is always up in there. I looked up this morning. I was like, oh, there you are. They call it the Ranari Raven. Yeah. Okay, and then Lucy yesterday, if you missed it, she said, no, it happened to her family. It was kind of weird. Like, my little brother, he has a thing for a helicopter, so I thought maybe mom and dad had got the, you know, fertilizer helicopter to pop by. Then there was all these, like, people and white suits coming through. And, yeah, it was actually kind of scary, to be honest.

So she said it was mistaken identity. They got the wrong house and they were looking for a meth lab. I don't know. I genuinely am hoping today's guy. What's his name? Isaac. Isaac, I hope that he's just like, I'm in hosed. Yeah.

Telling the truth. Because so far I'm racking my brains. I think they're both lying so far. Oh, so you already leaning towards Isaac telling the truth that we have a nerd from him? Yeah, because I can sniff a lie with both of the ones we've had so far. Okay. I feel like they were just making it up. Well, you can help us decide who you think is telling the truth

and then we can award to $500 to that person. Fingers crossed, we did last week. Also, by the way, if you've got a great story that you think is worth $500, you can text Story to 33443. If you don't have a good yarn, but you're a bloody good liar, producer car will give you the headline, you make up the rest of the story, and if you can convince us, it's yours, you could actually steal the cash.

Yeah, you snake the money from the person that's actually telling the truth. Text lie, if you'd like to play that role. week to 3343. Up next bit rough or fair enough? It's a divorce and they're trying to work out who's going to have what. But there's billions of dollars involved and no pre-in-up.

Ooh, silly boy. There's a lot of chat in the news at the moment about this wife and how greedy she is being. Does she have kids? I'll look into that. Because that makes a big difference to me. If she gave up her body and gave births,

then she gets well and truly, But also, even without the kids, if you've been married, you're entitled to half. Get your Clint McGinn Dan Fax. The Hedge. It's time to get naughty at 640. I think John might be being naughty. See what you think. His name's John Overdeck and he is a billionaire.

He even sounds rich, the name John Overdeck. I'm like, that is a wealthy name. Yeah, he's a hedge fund manager and co-founder of a few different investment companies and stuff. He deals with billions and billions of dollars. Turns out him and his wife are divorced. She has rejected his $735 million offer. Oh, wait, so she's getting $735 million. I thought that was their entire wealth.

No, he's got lots more, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots, lots. She wants $6.2 billion, which is what she says, a 35% stake in the interest. That's how much he's worth, that's 35%. And so then people are like, course, she only wants $35,000,000, $150. He's saying she's valuing the company worth more than it really is, so blah, blah, blah. Goes back and forward. Suppose he's worth about $8 billion on average, right? But I'm like, well, you didn't have a pre-up, mate?

Yeah, didn't have a pre-nup. She said his kids. She's also an astrophysicist. She's a very smart woman herself and a philanthropist. She's a founder of a non-profits who probably just wants to give the money to charity in her nonprofit. And they're being married 20 years. So we have three kids over 20 years, right? I think even pre-nups, and maybe I don't know, maybe this is how they do work.

Or you can write them to work however you like. If you have a pre-nups, you have a pre-nups. up. What is the time frame where you go, I'll leave with what I had, you leave with what you have, until we're being married 10 or more years? Do you know, at what point are you go, well, 20 has split her body in half three times to give him children. He's like, no, go away. Like, you've, she's getting 700 million. Sure. He might be smart enough to invest money into the right places and whatever, but you're a partnership for two decades. Yes. Yeah. And so, and so, sorry, Clint, I get so wound up, go ahead. No, even though his argument is 735 million,

is a lot of money, well, so is half of $8 billion. Just take your four and give her four. And the fact that he was able to do these things, apparently, they made the money, is only because he had the support of his wife, raising his children and doing these things. Because people were saying, raising kids is an important job, but it's not worth $4 billion. I think it is.

That's the comment section. I would have thought he would have been smart enough being a hedge fund guy that he would have got a pre-knuck. But maybe he didn't have any money when they got married 20 years ago. Well, then she's entitled to half of it. She was there. She supported him through his whole business. I don't even understand how you can get a lawyer to offer up 735 million.

And I know people in the comments section are going, oh my God, I can't believe this woman's practically won like a lottery amount of money and is still not happy. And it's like, well. It's her money too, guys. Remember, just because he made, in theory, that's under his name. He was only able to do it for 20 years because she raised his goods. She's an astrophysicist.

She's not somebody that just married him when he was a billionaire and just trying to take half now. They built their life together. I get that people are saying, oh, it must be horrible to be going through this kind of divorce where the loser gets 700 million. And it's like, yeah, I guess principal comes down to whatever.

Like Mick said, maybe she's going to do a lot of good worth $4 billion. This is why I can never leave my wife, because she's got so many accounts that technically are joint money that we own. We've earned it together. But I don't know what's in those accounts.

She keeps tabs on them. You don't know at all? You need a good lawyer then. Not because she's hiding it from me Because I've said I want it out of sight Out of mind Because otherwise I want to spend it But she could break up with me tomorrow

And be rich You were so lucky to have that woman Oh god am I what Like the fact that you could just sit pretty And know that she's sorting your retirement And you're struggling to do that to be honest I don't do better Yeah no I've never sat pretty

I'm quite I sit ugly I'm kidding Oh yeah She'll He's like this bird that's not ready to fly But he just like jumps off the bill in the building anyway and Hannah swoops him and saves him.

Grab him by the scruff of the neck. I think I reckon she takes him for all his worth. That's my opinion. I mean, otherwise if they're saying, well, why not take 700, then why does it matter that he is 700 million and he loses more? Like, why is it that she has to... Yeah, interesting. Isn't it crazy to fight over that kind of money?

I know. To us, we're just... It's still gross that anyone has a billion dollars. Can we add that? Yeah. Yeah. It's just disgusting. We're just talking about this dude John Overhead who, is that his name? Overdeck. Overdeck, sorry, who's got $8 billion.

And his wife wants half because they've been married 20 years with three kids. And he's going, well, how about $735 million? Which is a lot of money, but it's like not even 10% of the wealth. It's also an icky move in a way because it does just instantly make her look like a bad person to any other person that's following the story because they're like, how can you turn that down? But honestly, it should be, it is half.

She was there that built that business with. them. We want prenups. He didn't have one either. No. Supposedly, there was a divorce lawyer that has come out and said, though, that those who sign prenups have been statistically stronger in marriages going forward because everyone's very aware.

You've got open lines of communication before you get married about what you're wanting out of the marriage as opposed to blindly going in and maybe that's got something to do with the success. I think it makes sense when you've got lots of money. But if you're signing a pre-up when you're getting married just a normal couple with like normal amounts of money and you're signing a pre-up, I reckon that's setting the relationship up for...

Didn't we have someone on here who got given like $5,000, some sort of inheritance and she was talking to us about how she wanted to get a pre-up? It's, yeah, it's a really interesting thing because you're right, it does make sense and you sit there and go, this statistic show that everybody's happier. But it is the most unromantic thing to be saying that on your wedding day, we vowed to be.

until we die to be together and also let's sign this in case we split up so we have the same money. It's crazy. It is a bit weird. I get it when you've got millions like a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. I sort of get it in that case.

You kind of wanted somebody else almost to you'd be like, alright, somebody else organised that. The lawyers are organised that. I'll sign what I need to sign but you don't want to think about it because you're talking to, you're not meant to ever break up otherwise don't get married. Meg, you should sign a pre-nup with your husband because he doesn't work and you work.

Yes, but he will be going back to work. And Meg is already married. He'd been saying that for a while. Can you sign a pre-up after you're married? No, it's done. Done, yeah, it's too late. He's got you there, smart from guy. Is anyone listening got a pre-up, being asked to sign a pre-up?

I'm really fascinated by the whole thing. And I think maybe it makes sense, me, that after whatever the time period is, 10 years, it dissolves. Do you know what I mean? So it's like, you just don't want to get done in the first few years and realize this person that you thought was madly in love with you wasn't, and they're only with you for your money. Yeah. There are definitely preempts as well that you sit there, your right, Clint,

that they don't dissolve after 10 years, unless some of them, I guess, written in that way. But there are some pre-knit, so you're like, yeah, I'll sign it because I'm not even bothered. I don't want you for your money, and then you realize 20 years later, they'd become an asshole of a person. You do split up and you go,

oh my God, that pre-tip was crap. I have nothing to show for 20 years. Yeah, exactly. I know. Exactly. I'd love to hear someone that was stung as well, like, that was in a relationship and was stung because they didn't have a pre-nup.

Jane says you can sign a pre-up after marriage. It's called a post-natal agreement. Oh, wow. Okay, Jane, we need to talk to you sound like a lawyer. For inheritance, for example. So say you're your husband and married and then you get left like 200,000 inheritance. We did have a lawyer on once, though, that said that your partner, husband or wife, is not entitled to your inheritance as long as it sat in an account and you didn't start mixing it in with everyday spending.

Once you start spending some of it on groceries and things like that, It's now a joint fund. Yeah, it has to be. So, yeah, interesting if you are expecting inheritance and you don't want your partner to get it. Sorry, it's real post-nuptial, not post-natal. Yeah, I was about to say post-natured would be after birth, wouldn't it? Yeah, you'd make me look like an idiot, Jane.

So Jane's not a lawyer. David said that he has one. It's called an opting out agreement and costing 4K. Opting out agreement? Not... Opting out, Amanda, I just can't get my head around it. I'm sitting down. I'm like, I will love you.

sickness in the health until the day you die unless I do my opt-in-out agreement. I mean, it's smart. It is smart. It's just, yeah, it kind of goes against the vows. All right, next, easy money. I don't know if you want to get your pre-nup sorted now before you win your thousand bucks.

Yeah, post-natal one. Okay, the letter this morning is K. All right, Kay, everything can get it done and give us 10 answers in 30 seconds. Oh, 800, the edge. Give it a crack. Your favorite game on the edge just hits.

See, money. Bang on 7 o'clock, the letter is K. If you can give us 10 answers, starting with K in 30 seconds, we'll give you $1,000. You can't repeat the same answer twice. You can pass, though, and if we've got time, we'll come back. Megan is from the Mount working as a caregiver. You're ready to play, Megan.

Let's do it. Let's do it. I have a good feeling about you, Megan. I think you can do this. Kay's an easy letter. Here we go. Time starts at the end of Meg asking you your first question. Good luck.

Give me something. Do you say K? K. Okay. K for... Is it one K, is it in $1,000? Kilometer. Okay, easy.

We got this. Okay. Give me something you'd find in a kitchen. Ketchup. A boy's name. Kent. A body part. Ne.

A musician. Kenny Rogers. A TV show. Pass. An activity you do in your spare time. Pass. Something sweet. Pass.

An adjective. Oh, God, so well. TV show Keep It Up with the Kardashians or Kath and Kim, probably. Activity, knitting, kayaking, kicking, kickboxing, karate, karaoke. Something sweet. We had Kinder Surprise, Kit Kat, Kiwi Fruit. I just proves my point. I said it time and time again as soon as you pass.

It throws the brain. It throws a day. It really gets you. You did so, so great. That was a great start. You were flying out of the brain. Rocks and then about halfway down the track, you tripped and you hit your face. You need to try again.

Yeah, definitely try again. Thanks, Megan, for playing. Yeah, back again at 8 o'clock. Your chance to play for a thousand bucks. Next, though, we hear from Isaac and The Impostar. He is the final person telling us that Noah helicopter landed in his backyard and SWAT crashed down the back door. Dan is already saying he is telling the truth just from hearing the other two stories. Let's hear it next.

Listen to your favorite breakfast show whenever you like. Clint McGinn Dan. The edge. One truth. Two lies. And $500. All right. A true story, but it's only being told truthfully by one.

The other two lying through their teeth. They're the impostors. We have to try and work out who they are. And hopefully we award the $500 to the person actually telling the truth. So far last week, we did get it right, didn't we? Us is a nation. God, we're Sherlock Holmeses, the lot of us. Let's do it again.

Two in a row. What is Isaac saying? Yeah, we've heard from Indy, heard from Lucy. Isaac, what allegedly happened to you, mate? So when I was 12 years old on Christmas morning, we woke up to a police helicopter landing on our backyard and a SWAT team in our house. Okay.

All right, let's kick it off from the beginning. It's Christmas morning. You're 12 years old. It's one of the biggest days of the year, if not the biggest day of the year, is a 12-year-old. And a helicopter lands in your backyard. What time was it? What happened to the family?

when it happened? It was actually like seven in the morning, so it was really early, and I was actually going out on the front lawn because my dad used to do this thing where, you know, he'd lay out oats and, you know, a bit of water for the reindeer to have, and we just heard this helicopter coming, and then all of a sudden it was just all on. How big is your backyard that a helicopter can land in there? Yeah, so we lived on a farm out in Cambridge, so it was quite a rural sort of section, so my mum's actually a midwife, and so around that time, she was given out, you know, nettles and things to her clients because it's, you know, good things are on Christmas and it's, you know, a time to give presents and things.

And somehow the word got out and a lot of the neighbours thought that the bags of nettle tea were actually something else. And it led to a bit of an investigation. And, yeah, they came in and thought the bags of nettle were something else. Look like marijuana? Like tea leaves and things. Like, is it hurt. Yeah. My mum would have these that flock bags with a label on the front and it just looked like a big bag.

Who? Marijuana? Did she roll it like a joint? Like, what? And like, why would, even if it was marijuana, your dear old mom giving out these little things, why are they sending SWAT and the police helicopter? It's not class day, it's not Coke.

Oh, and Christmas. When the SWAT team come out of the helicopter, how many men with guns are we talking? There were four of them. They definitely jumped out and they were like coming to the back door. Okay, and they came out of the helicopter. They didn't arrive on a Jeep because often the swap team don't go on the helicopter. Yeah, it was a strange one

So the helicopter showed up And then there was a couple of SUVs That showed up around the front too So I suppose they were kind of like Trying to block off both entrances Did your mum nearly throw up from fright or shop? I was unwrapping my boogie board at the time And then all of a sudden these guys showed up

Then all of a sudden they were, you know Looking at, you know, mum's big cardboard box Full of Nettles and they were like Oh no What year did you say approximately this was? 2012-ish Okay, what colour was the police helicopter? It was like a grey and black

I'm looking at the Waikato Police helicopter from 2012 and it's dark blue. I'll tell you what, Isaac, if you are a lie, you're a bloody good one. I think our time is up. We've asked all of our questions. I had more, but there's no more time, unfortunately. This is interesting. Thank you very much. Oh, mate, I'm ready to give him the cash now.

So you think he's telling the truth? Yeah, I think he's telling the truth. From nettles? Okay, that makes our police force look like utter shit. Interesting text from Tyler before we push on and take some more feedback. This guy's had three days to rehearse that story. That's true. He's listened to what we've said about the holes and plug them.

Yeah, it's tricky. I was really hoping he'd be convincing enough that I'd just go. You know what? He's the guy. He's telling the truth. Can I just say that it's insane that one of these stories is true? Yeah. Really?

Yeah, that's crazy. Someone just takes a marriage says liar. Clint Meg and Dan. Edge Breakfast. The Edge. One truth. Two lies. And $500.

All right, we've just heard from Isaacs. And now we've heard from all three, including Lucy and Indy the last couple of days, all saying that on Christmas Day when they were age 12, a helicopter landed in their backyard. And the SWAT team came crashing through their house. Can I just say as well, just sorry me, to everybody that's texting through all the jurors. This is amazing because we need your help with it. Desperately, because there are quite a few people saying, guys, you missed a lot there. There are a few things that his story changed apparently in the conversation.

Let's go to Elsie first because Elsie, you're saying something that lots of people were saying on the text machine. What changed in the story that we didn't catch? Well, he said at the start something about checking the reindeer or something outside on the lawn. Yeah. And then when the helicopter came and then at the end of the story, he said he was opening his boogie board. Oh, interesting. None of us picked up on that. No, we didn't catch it. A lot of people texting that in, I'll see. Thank you. So that suddenly...

Oh, meaning, like, was he saying he was checking on the reindeer food in the morning? But then he was saying when the helicopter landed, he was inside. Yeah, but apparently at the start, he said, I was outside when it happened. And then later on the story, he said, I was opening my boogie ball when it happened. The truth sees a helicopter land and then goes inside and opens a boogie board. Corrin says lies way too much use of the word, actually, actually this and actually that. Oh, God, he was a really good liar. Then now I don't know.

I thought the only time he might have tripped up was when Dan hit him up about the helicopter colour. What year did you say approximately this was? 2012-ish. Okay, what colour was the police helicopter? It was like a grey and black. Interesting, because I'm looking at the Waikato police helicopter from 2012 and it's dark blue.

Do you just give him a pass on the fact that he was 12 years old? It's hard to remember. But you'd have a photo, surely. That he's missed. Yeah, I've searched up multiple police helicopters from. Waikato and none of them are grey. Tyler, what are your thoughts? Yes.

Oregon is there three days to rehearse. Oh, yeah. Wow, because really, I thought he was the most legit out of the three. Yeah, he's got way too much energy and the word actually is just crazy. So Oregon, he's just, he's pulling a leg. God, have you been on jury duty before, Tyler? Because you'd be great in a real jury. Well, if he's right.

No, never, always too busy for that. Yeah, you always try to get out of it. And then, Mia, you disagree. you say he's legit. Yeah, I think so. I mean, everybody said he's saying the word actually a lot, but then the other girls kept saying like a lot. Just crutch words, right?

If something actually happened, you would use the word actually a lot. Exactly. And I think guys also, you can hear when they're lying. He was talking a lot, like, really fast. I agree. I think the cadence of his speech really convinced me that he wasn't lying because it was so natural compared to what I think would be more.

more studdery or like red or story. Yeah, and I like hate it when people say like, like actually all the like time. Or literally. Lots and lots and lots of people are saying that the biggest flaw is that he said he was watching the helicopter land in the yard and he was also opening his boogie board at the same time. Could he have been opening his boogie board in the yard? Well, one of them is telling the truth and so far we've thought all of them are lying. So it has to be one of them.

A. Cook, uh, tomorrow morning we will decide who we think is telling us. telling the truth. We'll award them $500 and then we'll find out if we've actually given it to the person telling the truth or an imposter. All right guys, good luck. Take the edge of your day with Clint Meg and Dan. Bigger. It's Clint the flit. Now play the song.

You can win $1,000 tomorrow between the hours of 8.30 a.m. tomorrow morning and 10 a.m. Clint is going to attempt to make fire with two pieces of bamboo and a knife. Oh, we are still doing it. Yeah, we are still doing it. If he can do that in that hour and a half, you win $1,000 from the boss, Jack. If he can't do it, you can still win $300 out of Clint's bank account. Yeah, he somehow made me put a little something, a little skin in the game, which is fair enough.

I believe that I can. Yeah, so it's fine. It's not losing money then. Well, here's the thing, because I saw you practicing last night. You can text, I guess, what is the Instit, a 3343 to see a video of Clint trying to make fire, practicing at home last night with two bits of bamboo. you were just making smoke. Oh, I make a hell of a smoke machine. Not quite what Jack the boss has required for the $1,000.

You know, we caught up with Ash. He was going to give us some, well, not ask me some pointers, because he runs workshops, keeping you alive in the bush from nzsurvival.com. Morning, Ash. Hey, morning, guys. How's again? Good. Now, Ash, you work for the New Zealand Survival Academy.

What are the chances of click being able to start a fire with two bits of bamboo? Go on. He's laughing. Not good. Well, it depends how much of experience he's had with this before. Zero. No, no, I've been watching Survivor since I was a kid. Oh, yeah, nice, nice. Yeah, man, like, yeah, it's definitely possible. If you can create enough friction, you'll be able to get an ember,

and then there's a few processes to it, though, but, yeah, I think you'll be right. Walk me through step-by-step, Ash. If you're team Clint on this and we want to get the money out of our boss, what are the things I must do and must not do? Well, first of all, you want to be really prepared, so you want to have a nice little, what I like to call it. Like, imagine having a bird's nest. Yeah. Like a nice soft bird's nest and inside that bird's nest is really fine material.

Are you allowed to use cotton wool? No, no. Now we're getting into a lot of different things. You said two bits of bamboo. You're going to use the knife to get shavings off the bamboo. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. That's good as well. Hey, if that bamboo is super dry, then that's an excellent way to do it.

Okay, and if you isn't allowed a knife, but he is allowed a sharp rock, could you also... Jesus. Yeah, definitely you can scratch. If you can scratch off a whole, like a good big handful, hey, and always get more than what you think you need. So if you can get a big handful of that, that'll be ideal. And you're a professional opinion. I'm skeptical. Do you think this is going to make great radio?

Well, yeah, man, if you can get it going, I think that's pretty awesome. It's not a easy task. Right, so nobody's saying is it will be great, radio, if there's fire. I don't know. Do you think it would be more interesting if we just put him in a loincloth like he's a caveman? Yeah, that'll help, I think. Okay, so let's say you don't show me, and I've just had this conversation, and that's as far as my training has gone, Ash.

Now how many out of 100 of starting fire? Oh, pretty minimal, mate, yeah Yeah, one or two We're looking at, yeah Well, yeah Okay, thanks for that, Ash I feel like a lot of those questions You could have asked him off here, Clint

But you put us all the nation through all the boringness So thank very much for that Okay, but nz survival.com for anyone that does want to learn how to look after themselves in the bush Is it's a while, yes, mate, that's my, yep Thank you, mate, appreciate your time Cool, all right, cheers guys, have a good month

One man, Two-six and thousand bucks, dash It's Clint the flit, uh, now play the song How are we feeling me? Because I'm sceptical he's going to be able to do it. But you can never predict it with Clint, can you? I think, can I be really honest what I think's going to happen? I think Clint's going to create smoke.

I think he's going to get real close. I think the time's going to run out. I think he's going to stay longer. I think I'm going to go home. And then I think I'm going to hear about it for the next four years because Clint was so close to getting out and he'll tell me over and over and over what he should have done instead. She's pretty bang on.

For the part, which you didn't mention I start fire. Yeah. But I know my friend here. If I don't start fire by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will be doing nothing except trying to make fire all weekend. I will continue to do it until I make fire. It will help me. He'll be hopping about.

He'll be twitching and ticking. It'll ruin me. I'll be a crazy man. My kids and wife will leave me and I'll just be this guy. Trying to make fire. Yeah. Well, it's happening tomorrow from 8.30 a.m. We'll live stream it as well.

And if nothing else, Clint's going to be dressed in a loincloth. So I've been a bit of eye candy for you as well. We're watching that. I haven't heard about that. Just another thing to throw into the mix. Coming up next, why you should never buy the extended warranty when you're buying like appliances and stuff. I've got a reason why you should never buy, especially in New Zealand next.

Edge Breakfast, Clint Meg and Dan's scandal. Chris and Stuart reflected on the wedding dress that she wore as Bella in Twilight. Yeah, she did. She said some stuff about it too. Here it is. I love that dress so much. I remember getting into it. It felt like getting into a real wedding dress because I was like being hidden in some room with like heaters. And I was like, it's too hot in here. My makeup's melting off. And they're like, well, we're not going to be ready for 30 minutes. And I was like, but I'm ready now. I was like, well, here we go.

This is the time that I can play the bride. It's like nice memory. Yeah, she went on to say that. Robert looked really great and she was happy she got to wear a dress like that because she probably won't be, She wasn't classic for her own wedding. I forget that they dated. Yes. And then she cheated on him with the older director.

They're still mates, hey. They're still like good mates. They are. She cheated on with the older director who was like 40 and she was 20. And then Donald Trump tweeted about it and said Robert Pattinson can do better. I'll never forget, crazy. And Alex Earle has a reality show. It's going to be out September 4th.

And the trailer drops tomorrow. It's called Earl Met's World. in Auckland. The Edge. Clint Megan Dan. 26A, your chance to have a crack at easy money, a thousand bucks in 30 minutes. A little on fact about buying

appliances in New Zealand, which we're talking about on our Overtinkers podcast yesterday, which proves really, to be fair, that you don't need to buy the extended warranty on a lot of items in New Zealand. Because you're covered by a consumer act. We're talking about it next. Get your Clint Megan Dan Fax.

The Edge. We were talking about this on our Overtinkers podcast, which if you would like to get more, Clint McG and Dan, you can text the word podcast, a 33443. And we'll send you the link to make it nice and easy. Yeah, sometimes we talk about absolutely ridiculous, mundane, silly stuff on the podcast. And sometimes, Meg, don't we? We talk about very important stuff.

Yes, yes. And this was great yesterday. We're talking about how your rights as a consumer when it comes to buying items, particularly appliances. Yeah, but it started with Dan's wife returning a pair of slippers after three months because they were falling to bits. And they didn't give her a refund. No.

Come on. So anyway, I went on to consumer.org.org. And apparently when you're buying appliances, included in this is like desktop computers, laptops, fridges, whiteware, that kind of stuff. You are, like, you have rights when it comes to how long they last. Because I always thought, like, if you had a two-year warranty on most things, if you have fails, two years and one month, well, it's like, well, tough luck for you. You didn't get the extended warranty.

Well, no. That's not the case. because according to consumer dot org.NZ, if you have a desktop computer for instance and it fails, they are expected to last five years minimum. So if you have a computer that you've had for four

years, you didn't get the extended warranty and it breaks, you can take it back to where you purchased it. And within reason, if you haven't, you know, neglected the item. Reverse over it after you let her on the roof of the car. And it's actually a fault from the manufacturer. They are obligated to replace it. Well, then what about slippers?

How come that didn't work for you? Well, slippers, I think it's a murky sort of area. Right, okay. Yeah, so unfortunately for Hannah, her slippers that she spent $100 on. She's wearing them outside, inside, all the place. But here's a list of your rights. So laptops, they should last five years. If it breaks before then, you have the rights to go back.

Quarter's vacuums. Five years, they should be lasting. Wow. Quartered vacuums, eight years. There's no way. So if it breaks within eight years, and it's just a manufacturer thing, you have a right to get a refund. What about fridges?

Friges, 11 years, according to consumer, that they should be lasting. Back in the day, that's right. You know, when you think about your grandparents' stuff, my nana and granddad, they didn't have a washer and dryer. There's no way. But, you know, the things that they had, they had their fridge their entire life.

True. Yeah. Like, to be honest, our fridge at home is at least 15 years old and still going strong. Yeah, yeah. So if you're spending three grand on an item, you expect it to last a while, don't you? Televisions, eight years, they should be lasting.

Somebody commented you about returning a, TV, didn't they, on our podcast? Yeah, so someone said that they returned to TV after four years, and they had a warranty for two years, and they got a refund from the place that they took it from. So that's interesting. They didn't have an extended warranty or anything like that. Dishwashers, 10 years,

washing machines, 10 years, dryers, 11 years, and ovens, if you just purchased an oven, it should be lasting you 15 years. And if it breaks before that 15 years, you have rights to get... Why are they selling us an extended warranty? I don't know. Because normally it means that you'll get your warranty

anywhere from three to five so instead of two goes to five Yeah and someone's Louis takes through which is a great point The person, the company that you take it back to They don't have to give you a refund They can get it sent away to get fixed first Yeah right

So but that's still a great Result if you've had it broken I've got to microwave that I bought under a year ago And it doesn't work unless you give it whack Yeah so you'd have grounds to take that back Because microwave should last eight years It's so annoying How do you avoid the awkwardness of like

carrying your old microwave with the cable sort of whacking you in the ankle as you take it to the counter and say, I'd like this dirty microwave replaced. Well, I'd sort of send an email first. I tried and they said you need to bring it in, so unfortunately they are going to get my microwave. There should be a service that somebody offers where they do awkward or embarrassing

interactions on your behalf for a fee. So they come in, grab your microwave mic, take it in and get it replaced, and they take a small fee so that you don't have to deal with that confrontation. Yeah, that's my husband. What do you mean? Any of those things that's my husband's job? It's a husband job.

Yeah. It's a good. Better living, everyone. Thank you, Dan. Easy money back in, what have it, 20 minutes away from your chance of winning a thousand bucks. Don't put it towards an extended warranty. Are we not talking about the, how long is too long to pass somebody for? Yeah, and I thought that Dan had the record on the show remembering old Dan's diary.

We kind of reflect back on that. Oh, 10 minutes is nothing. When you're a teenager, you're probably not. All right, we'll chat about this next. And we're also on the hunt for a couple of very specific Kiwis that you might know next. Get you Clint McGick and Dan Fax. The edge. Let me kiss you.

It's come up on the show before. Actually, years ago in an old Dan's diary entry about Dan's record patch. I got a kiss from Kate. We pashed for 10 minutes. No! Oh, God, the pass rash. Instant pass rash. Where were they passing?

I know. He just said we're outside who patch for 10 minutes. And it came up again on our Overtinkers podcast that we were recording yesterday. Dan talking about how long he used to Pasch girls. And how it would work? Because you're like, are they passing the whole time or are they stopping for a bit and then going again and continuing the clock? Like you're coming up for breath. You're not just like locking in.

I think you're just imagining we're just like a couple of slugs stuck together. Let's demonstrate now, Meg. We're not going to actually kiss. No. But okay, so imagine we're hooking up. So we're going. I come in. We're kissing.

Okay, and break. Sorry, how did you find man? Mass, difficult. Oh, what did you have for lunch? Was that tuna? It was. It was nice, actually. Do you want to come over for dinner on Wednesday?

And so it's like a makeout session. You're not kissing for the whole time. That's my view on it. But Clint, you've seen a New Zealand. record that's been set by someone. Yeah, producer Carl, sorry to do it to you again, bro. Producer Carl's guest quest. Turns out, like if you place your bets how long you think the longest kiss would go for,

the New Zealand record is over 31 hours. And we would love to chat to James Belshore or Emily Smith. They're the two that did it. Does anyone know them? This is going back 2011. So do you have friends 15 years ago that were bragging about the fact that they hold the New Zealand kissing record? I think one of them has sadly died of Pash rash soon after the record attempt. Now Mick's got the details because she looked into it because they've since changed because you're like, well, 31 hours, you've got to be awake the whole time.

Yeah, so back in 2013, the Guinness World Record did cancel the record because they had to be standing on their feet. No sitting, resting or leaning on cushions or props was allowed. They weren't allowed to break at all. They had to have liquid nutrition and water carefully through straws while maintaining lip contact. Oh, that's tricky. They had to go to the bathroom. They had to go together, and it ended up with people, obviously, having psychosis and sleep deprivation. So it did get cancelled.

I think it would be, you'd wear a napy. So you'd do your number two as pre the attempt. And then you just wear a nappy if you had an accident. So sexy. Why are you making an hour? Yeah, I know. And then I think the straws thing would be the tricky one. And standing, for me, would be hard for 30 hours.

You're not even kissing at that point. holding your lips together, aren't you? I wonder what the record is for the longest time you've ever made out with somebody. Can you beat Dan's 10 minutes? Were you just like, oh God, I could. What are you talking about? Back in the day, it was like makeout sessions were like the thing to do if you weren't actually, you know, if you were young and you weren't doing other things.

Yeah, 10 minutes is nothing, Clint. Your God, you need to live, man. You've had 10 minute makeout sessions with your wife. Probably. Yeah. But not ours. No. Someone's asked if Clint and I can break the next. New Zealand record.

Together? Yeah, Clint and I kiss him for 31 hours. I bet you are. I don't want to do it. Clint, you probably would, knowing you. He's always trying to get in there.

Don't put words all your tongue in my mouth, mate. Yeah, who's got New Zealand's record for the longest kiss? Yeah, like unofficially. What's the longest hash time you've ever done? And does anyone know? James Belshore, Emily Smith,

let them know we're looking for them. Listen to your favourite breakfast show whenever you like. Clint Meg and Dan. I will try to make fire and win someone $1,000 at 8.30 tomorrow morning. I can't wait. Really? No, actually, I probably could.

Yeah, I was trying to big it up. Let me kiss you. Dan one time, kiss for 10 minutes in his dance diary. We said that's a lost art of passion. But I would say that I wouldn't have been in the running for a record because we were taking breaks in between. We weren't just locked lips for 10 minutes. That's wild for me When you're in high school

And you finally start making out With the girl or the guy you're into As soon as you stop I would worry that that's it And then when is the next time That's going to happen again So that's why you just lock lips And don't stop

Because you worry that it's going to be over What do you think they're going to dump you? What do you mean? No but I mean Normally when you stop You don't stop And then like Dan says Have a convo for 30 seconds

And then go again It's like once you stop Okay Done it Oh God That couldn't be further from the truth All right We're talking about the longest

or a make-out session that you've had. I do think it's a bit of a lost art. Susie, morning. Good morning. How are you guys? Yeah, good, Susie. Now, this wasn't you necessarily. It was a friend. No, it was one of my besties, yeah. Okay, what's your record?

Okay, so we went to a party, and we were starting to enjoy everything there, and she was under the influence. And basically, she hooked up with the guy, and they spent the whole night in the corner, flobbering over each other. The whole night, like how long? Well, it'll give me probably about three hours.

Wow, three hours. Yeah, she woke up the next morning and her face was red-roar and she said, I'm so thirsty. I'm so thirsty. Oh, my God. Oh, God. Thanks, Susie.

It's great. He's giving her out to beat. Laura, you miss those days? Aw. I do miss those days. I have, like, fond memories of those days Now how You must have been in three hours then

If you've got fond memories Yes 100% I was with So we would get taken to this place Called Feeley Which is like in the middle of nowhere In the South Island And we'd go camping

And I got to know all the locals And there was a boy James Grove And he was like two years older than me But he was like gorgeous And um Me and him were just patched for hours and hours I was like, I was 14 and he was 16. And like, even now when I hear Eagelicherry say tonight,

I always think of him and like just those memories, yeah. So James Grove, do you say? I'm just trying to find him on Facebook. Yeah, his name was Brutus. Oh, my God, you really do have more memories. He has passed away, sadly. I only found one guy, I don't think that's him. Oh, no, he's much older.

He's much older. I'm about 60 now, Laura. Oh, no. Oh my goodness me. Oh, that's sad that he passed away. Yeah. Yeah, he was. He was, and he was just sweet.

And because, like, you know, I'd never made a sandwich with anyone before. So it was just like you have those memories, and there was just no pressure from him. Even though he was two years older than me, and I'm sure he'd made sandwiches. He just didn't pressure me for... Yeah, thanks for not taking sex there. Yeah. That's great. Oh, yeah.

Okay, sweet. I was doing the shower in Casey and pulling out a sandwich instead. Yeah. I think that because of his best. been a lot of time since Sharon left and you're saying that people will be like, what do you mean sandwiches? Did you know, Laura's never made a sandwich? That's so weird.

That's great though. Yeah. All right, well, what is the perfect time? Someone said that they missed the entirety of the film Ghost because they were passing their boyfriend throughout. Meg, how long is the movie Ghost? Run time. Two hours and six minutes.

Get it, Jane. Well done. Get it. And yeah, producer Carl, we're still on the hunt for the New Zealand record holders of 31 hours. James Belshaw and Emily C. Smith. Oh, Emily Smith will be quite easy to find, I reckon, yeah.

Definitely with a name like that. Not a common name at all. So it'll be like, oh, that's my mate. That's my mate, James. James Belshore. You tell him the edge of trying to find him. I love to know the ins and outs of how he got to 31 hours kissing non-stop. And that's the New Zealand record.

Apparently the world record's over 50 hours. Crazy. Yeah, they'll be awake the entire time. That'd be the hardest part, for sure. All right, your chance to win a thousand dollars next with easy money. If you want to crack it at 0,800, the edge will play in 90 seconds. Your favourite game on the edge? Just hits.

Easy, maybe. Three bar states. Here we go. 30 seconds on the clock. Ten answers. Starting with the letter F. Then we will give you a thousand bucksie cam pass, but you can't repeat the same answer twice. F for fire, which Clint is going to be creating tomorrow morning about this time.

Yeah, with just bamboo and a knife. Hey, Clary, your husband Ron played yesterday at 8. if you do better than him, this is for that Japan trip that's going at the end of the year, isn't it? Yeah, okay, great. Oh, wow, good on you guys. I love that you're a couple that both listen to the edge, and how good for you both to get through.

Let's see if you're smarter than Ron. Yeah, so great. How many did Ron get out of memory? I hope so. I think you've got four or five. Oh, you can do better. Oh, actually, okay, I've got a little quick little replay here from Brady of, oh, no, I don't.

In mine. We'll push on. Here we go. Okay, 30 seconds on the clock. If you can give us 10, we'll give you a thousand Bucks, your time starts at the end of Meg asking your first question. Give me something hot. Fire.

A sport. Fishing. A drink. Santa. A bird. Pass. A three-letter word. Fox.

A movie. Frozen. Something your body can do? Fight. A word related to maths. Fraction. A band. Pass.

A dog breed. Time class. Question 10. Yeah, it was very, very good. Just a couple of passes, though. A bird, fan tail, flamingo. Flamingo, yeah. Fan tale, or banned foo fighters for Florence the Machine.

That was a harder one. But the good news is, Clara, you can go and tell Ron that he's the dumb one in the relationship. Yeah, you're the smarty pants. Well-down now. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, Clara. Just sound like she just didn't want to do worse than either.

Yeah, good on you. Okay. Up next, guys, do you want to know how me? Trying to start fire with just bamboo and a knife was how that went yesterday. Well, I saw on social media last night you doing it, Clint, and all you were creating is a lot of smoke. Yeah, oh, mate, I can make a hell of a smoke machine. I stunk of the stuff.

Is that what I can smell? No, that might be me. Oh, what do you mean? You're so rude. No, I mean, like stress sickie or something before work. No, my God, that doesn't happen. Oh, I mean, your body odour. Oh, my God. That's what...

I don't know. The edge. Less than 24 hours. Actually, just over 24 hours away before you win a thousand dollars. You can't, it's not. You can't promise this. Someone's winning about Boston's money. I will not fail this.

So you've said you can create fire from two bits of bamboo and a small knife. That's essentially what it is, isn't it? Yeah. Just a bamboo, piece of bamboo and a knife. How do we get here? Well, I think we were just mining our own business regarding a podcast. Right. And we hypothetically talked about things we'd take to an island,

and then we forgot matches. And I said, don't worry about it. I can make fire with bamboo. And then we moved up very quickly. Me and Dan were like, great, that's sorted then. And then, I don't know, our boss, Jack, he just wanted the smoke. And he came in and he said, you cannot do that. And it turns out I've been creating a lot of smoke.

Yeah. Actually, mostly just smoke. This is how it went yesterday when Produce Carl brought me some bamboo. and I sat outside for probably two hours but this is how it started what's that

I'm pretty bugger already I haven't even started rubbing the sticks together Carl got me a bloody short stupid piece do you think I'm going to get five I think if you don't you could blame the towel

for getting you short bandage yeah that's what I was going to do classic Randalls stupid piece of colour it doesn't look like it's going to happen in the next few minutes. Maybe you go get the tripod. So what were you meant to be doing in this time?

Were your wife James just wandering in the house, doing the laundry, cleaning, prepping dinner, looking after the children. What are you meant to be doing? Well, I was working because I need to learn how to do this so I can win someone at $1,000 for a work thing. And this is the thing, Jack is an incredible manager. He's great.

Yes, but I don't think he's knowing Clint long enough to know that when Clint gets a bone, or in this case a piece of bamboo, he will make fire with it at all costs. He's not going to drop it. And we felt that the moment that Jack came in and gave you this challenge me and Dan were like, you're an idiot. Well, my wife... I don't think he's an idiot.

I think he's a very good manager. My wife did get sick of filming because I said film this, because when I make fire, I need to make sure I capture the moment. She was filming for a long time. Eventually, she was like, can I just get the tripod? And I was like, yeah, get the tripod. So it turns out, yeah, there are a lot of different types of bamboo, according to Chat, GBT. and some of them ignite better than others. So I don't know if producer Carl, thank you though, bro, for getting them,

has gotten me the most difficult piece of bamboo to catch fire. It's my fault then. It's my fault that you're failing, classic. Yeah, just kick the old dog producer, that's cool, yeah. Have you been putting the bamboo in the oven or something? I put a piece in the oven at 70 to 100 degrees for like an hour and a half just to dry it out because it was very cold and damp what Carl had given me again. You got me outside bamboo.

You're right, we can do that when we're standing. like on a desert island. We'll just put the bamboo in the oven. Yeah, true, me. That's so true. All I'm hearing is excuses from you. It was your idea to do this. Well, you know, I started so confident.

And this piece of audio is probably from the 90 minute to two hour mark yesterday. Starting in very cold outside. My wife was like, all right, you need to make dinner because I'm always making dinner. And I've got Washington fogs. I'm always doing stuff. It's smoking.

Smoking. It's smoking. But it's the bottom piece that's smoking. It's this that's quite looking like. Yeah, yeah, I know. The wrong piece is lighting, but as long as something gets us by. It's meant to be embers in there. There's no embers.

There's just lots of smoke. I thought I had it. It was close. I think you just have to do that for longer and longer and longer and longer. Damn it. Oh my gosh, this might be the most boring audio I've ever heard in radio. I think it's the same thing.

I'm going to do this for two hours. I did more. I just had a moment. I was just sitting here listening. I was like, we're just listening to wood rub together. And it's, what are we? I literally started falling asleep. What was this happening?

So, stick around. Because tomorrow, 8.30 a.m. Two bits of bamboo, one knife. And Clinton Randall, can he create fire? And $1,000 to a listener. I will not fail you, New Zealand. I will make fire before 10 a.m. It'll be really boring.

Producer Carl, bring me the first. ripe bamboo. I'll bring you more back. Have you tried drinking your own urine? Beer grills did that before he did anything survival and it weren't for him. Carl, yes, me and I both have done that in their past.

So urine's flammable. That might be helpful. Okay, well, someone's winning money. It's either the boss is $1,000 or it's my 300 because he wanted me to put a bit of skin in the game, so if I can't do it, I'll give away my own money. And maybe over the next 24 hours, Clint, we'll spice it up a little bit, man?

The fire. The fire will spice it up. It's just a big question. We'll get him in a loincloth. That'll be good for the life stream. That'll get the girls off. And the boys. I'm not dressing up like an idiot.

I think you could have to. Take the edge off your day with Clint Meg and Dan. Edge. Clint McGon Dan, we're all about to get more intelligent, at least when it comes to relationships. Yeah, we get to talk to Erica Etton, who is a dating coach. Her Instagram page is at about, I think, 300,000 followers, a little nudge. And we get to be her friend. All right, you must be getting sick of us by now, Erica.

Good morning. I could never get sick of you. You're world famous in New Zealand. Oh, thank you. I tell all my friends I'm big in New Zealand. Yeah. This is a question we've got in from a listener. Now this, I reckon, is your meat and gravy.

This is a perfect question for you, and I think it's going to be a quick chat with you today. So this person said, I'll keep them anonymous. They've said, I've been dating a guy for a month, and he's asked if I want to meet his parents this weekend. How do I tell him that I think we're moving too fast without blowing the whole relationship up? So it sounds like they're wanting to continue.

the relationship. It's going well. But meeting the parents is a bit too quick. I've really enjoyed everything we've done over the last month, and I want to continue everything. To me, meeting the parents is really significant, and it means something more about a relationship. I just don't think we're at that point yet. It's not a question of if, it's when.

And I apologize, because I do want to meet your parents. I just know for where we are. I'm just not quite there yet. I hope you understand. It's like she's reading off a screen. and you've literally just thrown it at her. I'm not. You don't even know the question.

It's not like we pre-send them to you. I reckon you've got this one quite a few times before, though, right? It'd be a common issue in relationships. I think more common is someone ready to meet friends, family, parents, children, and the person they're dating is not ready yet. So this is actually less common than, like, it's been three months. How come no one in his family knows about me yet? That's the more common one.

Just quickly before we move on. It's tricky, though, isn't it? Because if I was the person that sent this in, I would be thinking, that's my view. It's obviously important to the other person for me to meet their parents. So who am I to say I'm not meeting them? You know, I'd feel bad for saying it. I agree.

It might hurt the other person's feeling. That's why your words are important. But on the other hand, if you don't say anything and go along with it to spare the other person's feelings, you're then sacrificing yourself. You're doing something you're not ready to do to protect the other person. It's touchy.

Someone's feelings are going to be hurt regardless. And who's to say? A month deals appropriate to some people, not to other people. There's no arbitrary rule on the only we can meet parents. But I think it'll be a really good practice for the two people in having open communication. And maybe this is their first disagreement. I think it'll be really important to see,

one, how the person who's not ready brings it up. and two, how the person with the parents, yeah, it reacts to it. Yeah, I imagine that if it gets back to the parents, they might be a bit sensitive to it too. You know, that's going to be a whole other kiddle fish. Yeah, but I don't want you going along with something before you're ready just to spare the other person.

All right, well, we'll catch up with you again next week, Erica, for the perfect prompt. Thank you for your time, as always. All right, interesting one, maybe. What is the fastest time anyone's gone from date, dating to meeting the parents, date one to, meeting. I can't remember from it.

It wasn't long. I'd say it would have been like a month or two. Really? Yeah, maybe three months, but it wasn't long. I think mine was about three to four months with Guy. Clem? Three to four months? Yeah, after we started officially dating, which took us about three months.

So maybe about six months in total? What about you, Clint? We'll let everyone else share first. And then I'll try and remember. Oh, you remember, I think. It's breakfast, Clint McGint Dan. Okay, we're talking about the quick and the quick. meeting the parent situation from the first date.

We want to know how fast that turnaround was for you. You can text us 3343. Kayla, pretty quick. Morning, Kayla. Oh, morning, sorry. So there's no right answer to this, but how long was it between first date to meeting the parents or family?

It was the third date. So it was very fast. And I was absolutely shitting myself. And so how long between the first date and the third day? Are we talking weeks? months? Three days. Three days. Jesus. We saw each other each day, yeah. Did he introduce you to his parents

and you knew that was going to happen? Wasn't a surprise? I had suspected. He didn't, he didn't say, come around and meet my parents. He just said, come around and have dinner. And, yeah, his parents were there. But they were really nice, and now we're

married, so. At this point, like, with three dates in, did you have, like, the feeling this guy's the one? Because sometimes you know, right? Yeah, I don't know. I guess I had that, you know, when you first meet someone and you have, like, you're on this, like, love high, and it feels amazing.

So, I mean, yeah, I felt that, but I mean, I don't know, you know, sometimes you feel that with people when you first meet them. And then after a month, you're like, oh, I don't like them. And you guys are still together? Yeah, the feelings don't really leave, so, yeah. You still married? Yeah, yeah, we've married now and we've got a baby on the way. Oh, thank you.

Congratulations. All right, so three days is the high water mark at the moment. Do you unbeat it? Cassandra, you accidentally met your mother-in-law. Yes, I did. Okay, how did it happen? After our first date, I was heading down stairs to get a drink. Had no clothes on.

And I slipped coming down the stairs, and she was standing at the bottom. So she saw you nude? Yep. And you know what? If you'd slip down the stairs, I'd say that. She'd see bits of you. Yeah. Why didn't he warn you?

It was a very grateful. Was he awake? They were meant to be out for the evening and they came home. My God. And we didn't know. And now you're married with kids? Yes.

Oh! Back down. Cassandra, I will say there's a little bit to blame on your part there. You're at someone else's house. You know, I suspect you knew he lived with the parents and you went nude downstairs. That's risky business. Yeah.

Well, if you don't think anybody's there, then why not? Good for you. No one needs to marry you. Sound fun. And Nicole, your partner, meet your mum, when? The same night I met him face to face. So it was quite weird because we had met face to face, and then he had decided he's going to the toilet,

and when he arrived back, I had video called my mom to meet him. because she lives in a different country. I think he might be the one, Mum. Oh, God, stage five, Tlinger vibes. And now you're married with kids? Oh, no, so we're blended family, and we've been together over two years now.

Oh, cool. Good on you. See, it works. Yeah. I would have said you're a stage five Klinger and left you that night. Thanks, Miguel. Crazy. Yeah, so wild.

Crazy. Isn't it just so insane when people meet their parents on the first date? Clint, when was yours again? You know, Meg, there's a load of question because you know the answer. Yeah. My parents, my parents came on the first date. But not just your parents. No, no, no, it's your parents.

So it's you, your mum, your dad, first date, and? And Nana and Papa. Wow. It's a family affair. My mom's, mom and dad also came. You are so lucky to be married. Well, in my defense, it wasn't my fault. My wife and I, at the time, obviously, we were just dating, went bungee jumping. And so it's a public place, and mum and dad wanted to come down and watch us bungee jump.

And so showed up unannounced on the date. Weird thing in itself. Who's going bungee jumping on a first date? That's weird. You want to show you all quite cool? Go ahead and do something a little bit different. See if she liked a little bit of adventure. Yeah, a little bit different is probably like going and playing minigolf.

Bungee jumping's weird. My wife didn't like it because she realized at the start of the date before you, bungee. They weigh you in and then write your weight on your hand and vivid. So that was not great. And granddad's coming up going, How much do you weigh, dear? You're only able 40 kGs for Mike Clinton.

Get your Clint Meg and Dan Fax. Beage. I love this music. It reminds me of being in Bali on the beach, getting a massage. When did you last go to Bali? Many years ago. Right. He'd be massed on the beach.

Yeah, it was like in this little booth thing. Yeah, those huts. The little huts and you look out. Beautiful. Oh, lovely. Yeah, nice. Mine was at just some place down the road from me, and it has like walls, but they don't go all the way to the ceiling. Oh, yes.

So you're almost in these like partitions within this big room. And I think it was just me initially because it was nice and quiet. And I was skin and a massage, a little crook in the neck, and my physio wasn't really getting it out. So I was like, right, got to go get a massage. Also, you know, treat myself. My wife, she went away to Raro without me. Is it the same place you go for the happy endings?

They don't do that. And a man comes in next to me, and I know because he's making so much noise. He comes in, and then I think, once he lies down and does his thing, he's going to chill out. No. Because then I hear, through the paper-thin walls, oh, yeah. Are you sure you don't do that they don't do the happy endings? Oh, yes, so good there. Oh, God.

I know he's encouraging the lady letting her know she's doing good job, but I'm like, ooh, it's ruining my experience. Silent. I can't tell you enough. I am like, I'm even thinking about my breathing. The only thing that I think is, I don't know if it's disrespectful or not, I have fallen asleep in the past. And I have been told that's a compliment because I get you very relaxed

and they're still making money whether I'm asleep or not. The only time you should be talking is when they go, how's the pressure? They go, and here we go, yeah, it's great thanks. Even if I always say, even if the pressure is killing me. I'll always go brilliant. It's perfect. It's perfect.

That's what I want. To me fair, sometimes I, like, you can see me like clench my fist or tense my toes and I hope they can tell that I'm like, that's too hard, but they never do. No. No.

Press are good. Is that good? Yeah, at the end of the massage, you're like, so you're like, oh my God, it was amazing.

It's worse because then he, because he'd go quite for a bit. And then again, she'd obviously get to a part of his body where he'd go, oh, yeah, it's so good there. Oh, yeah. What a night. That poor woman that was doing the massage.

Then, his phone rings and she goes do you want to answer it and he goes oh yeah I'll just be quick and so she must leave the room and he picks up his phone

and takes this business call and starts arranging a meeting on a certain day at a certain time he honestly got spoke to him for about 10 minutes my message actually finished but while he was still on his phone I was putting my clothes on what a nightmare

I would have asked my money back me too I'd be really really upset about that if I was listening to somebody's phone call I actually thinking about it now is like I need a bigger world but that's making me real mad Yeah, because I'm like, do I just go, hey, bro, turn the phone off me. Yeah, yeah.

I do this. Oh, God, and I'll think you're really enjoying it again. Oh, she's really enjoying now. Oh, she wants harder, harder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, beauty therapist, massage therapist, what is the etiquette? What do you want and what do you not want? And, like, do you like when someone's like, oh, yeah, that's great?

Because then you're like, oh, they're liking it. I'm doing a good job. Yeah. It's affirmation. I think it one off going, oh, that's great, keep going like that. But then when you keep going, I think then it's like, that's weird. Yeah, what do you want? What do you not want?

Maybe we're... Hunter, maybe you like it. Anyway, where was this place? I want to go. It's like 70 bucks an hour. It's pretty cheap. Golden fingers, is it? Get your Clint Mc and Dan fix.

The edge. Clint Mc and Dan, I got a massage the other day. I decided to treat myself. And the guy next door to me who showed up sort of halfway through my massage was very vocal and was like, oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, so good there. That's so good.

That should be illegal. I'm silent over here going. Wait, what is the etiquette? Beauty therapists, loving the words of affirmation that they're doing a great job? Or just shush? All right, we have some text and feedback coming in. And we're trying to get Becky on.

But Kim has said that she can't talk. But I am a beauty therapist. I have been for about six years now and I 100% enjoy silence unless you're my partner. Or I am hurting you. Please be silent. Becky didn't answer. So she said,

I used to be a beauty therapist. Someone snoring is the best compliment. Moneen or phone calls, no. Yeah, I can't imagine there'd be any beauty therapist that would enjoy the moaning. Here's another gross one I didn't think about. Massage therapist here, please don't come in wearing a ton of fake tan.

It ends up all over the sheets and towels. I thought that too. You know, if they've got to put oil on you, it's just going to be coming off. My biggest massage etiquette rule is, please shower first. I can tell within about three seconds if you've come straight from the joke.

Who's doing that? I have a bit of thought for the person doing the massage. Yeah. Yuck. Yeah, a lot of actually people talking about the sweaty thing, showing up sweaty. Especially if you're doing massages at the beach

like you said, Dan. A lot of people are all sweaty. Yeah. I remember I'd been for a swim before it and so I went back up and I would have been cleaned from that, wouldn't I? The salt water. Salty. Saltie. I was just, like, I've been for, I've been for a couple of massages. And, you know, one of them I went to was like, it was great.

It had music like this playing in the background. But then another time I went for one, and it was just dead silence in the room. And I felt so awkward. Then then I just felt like I had to chat and had to, like, keep this conversation. Because otherwise it's just as deafening silent. That is weird, actually. If you're just sitting here like this in silence, getting massaged. Sometimes your tummy gurgles.

Yeah, no, you need the background noise, like at some, sort of backing track. Sometimes as well, the body does things, when you're especially as a man, when you're getting a massage, and you fight everything for it to not happen, but it does happen. And it happened to me once.

I remember that she'd flip me over and she starts doing the legs. Oh, that's awful. And I know, and I had to like go, Grandma, Grandma, Grandma, Grandma, Grandma. But I just had to, and then there was a pop, and she would have seen, you know? It's just, also, oh.

to your grandma. I know. Because it still happened and you were like grandma, grandma and it still happened. I had to fight it. So yeah. Your body was like,

that's not doing anything. Oh, I don't think beauty therapists get paid enough. They are honestly saints. Yeah. And the people turning up filthy and dirty, disgusting. Yeah, have a shower

and no moaning. Don't mind. They don't want you moaning by the sounds and tell them if the pressure. This comes through a bit. Tell them if the pressure's too hard, Meg. But it's like when a hairdress cuts your hair and they go,

is that too short? And you go, nah, that's definitely what I wanted. Oh, my God, I love it. Thank you so much. Oh, it's really different, isn't it? It's a bit shorter than we said, I think. It's a bit short, oh, no, no, no, no. But I love it.

No, no, no, I love it. Oh, my love it. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Oh, thank you so much. No, I won't read book right now. I'll go and check my calendar.

Thank you. Yeah, great. $400. That's so cheap. So 400, so how could, so I'm just a look, so you said 400, but when we did the, you said it was going to be 100. Oh, of course, because you cut it shorter. It's fine. Yes.
