Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. See your mornings with Clint Meag and Dan. Get breakfast. Good morning, 6 a.m. Thursday. I'm already being bullied behind the scenes. Oh, Clint. You just need to stop doing really cringe statuses on your social media. I'm applied to get an Esther so I can go into America and ask for your Instagram,
Starting point is 00:00:24 Facebook and TikTok handle if you have them. So Donald Trump or whoever can go through your social media, make sure you're not a baddie. And Meg's been digging up old. statuses from back in the day. Baddy. You're a baddie with the amount of selfies that you're putting up saying, chilling and enjoying a bloody long summer, winky face. Bloody long summer.
Starting point is 00:00:42 My God, you need to be imposed those meta-bans that are being imposed in America. Overnight, now it's like young people will have a time limit on there in America on Facebook and Instagram. Oh, that'd be me, young people? No, no, they just need to extend it to old people like Clint that are cringe.
Starting point is 00:01:00 All right, are we doing that? again, are you today on the show? Oh yeah, I see you there on the sheet. After 830, cool. Prime time. Yeah, and we have to decide in the imposter who's the person that is telling the truth today because we've had three stories.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Two of them lying. One of them the truth. Steve Day. Actually, let's go with Meg this week because you and I, to be fair, we followed the majority online, but Meg was in the minority, so she lost, and it turns out Meg was right
Starting point is 00:01:26 and we were wrong. Yeah, well, I'm going to have to follow the listeners, I think, because they're the ones that seem to, okay, don't do that. They let us down a bloody... Slippery, dirty path last week. We let Meg have the final say. She collates everything.
Starting point is 00:01:38 And then finally she is the deciding vote. Perfect. No objections from her? She's the smartest. Well, I don't want it all on my shoulders, if I mean, honest. We can do it as if we got good shoulders. That's what we call you the pack horse. You're our mule today.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Broad shoulders. The Edge is the home of Clint McGendam. The Edge. Coffee catch up before we officially kick the show off. He's a bit loose before 630. for our early 6am club. We've got a next door neighbour. We've spoken about it quite a bit about my cat,
Starting point is 00:02:07 Kimmy, who has been accused of impregnating numerous other felines around our neighbourhood. Which can't be true because your cat's gay. Exactly. And he's being neutered. So it's impossible. That's probably more. Sorry, that's really more. Both nails in his coffin, really, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:02:23 But we were accused of someone saying he keeps coming over and humping their male cat. Yes, that's right. And so... And they'll like, what are you going to do about? But the woman actually yelled at my wife, Hannah, saying, stop your cat from coming over and doing this to our male cat. What do you do? Sit him down and give him a chat about the birds and the bees. No, exactly. That's what Hannah said.
Starting point is 00:02:40 She was like, what could we do? We can't constantly watch a cat. Anyway, so someone has posted on our page last night, our community page, saying that their cat has just given birth to a litter of kittens. And they don't know who the father is. And so they're doing this accusatory thing where they're going, if you've got male cats, you need to tell us because we need to know who the father is.
Starting point is 00:03:03 What are they going to do? My child support. Yeah, yeah, it's very bizarre. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, because you're having the kids every second weekend. Yeah. And Hannah's now worried that we're going to get again accused of our darling Kimmy who has been neutered and gay.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Isn't it the responsibility of the owner of a female cat? I would have them fixed? You should just... If you have any cat or a dog, get them fixed. Just give them fixed. Yeah. If it's still expensive for you, there are charities that do. for free as well.
Starting point is 00:03:30 In fact, I think you can take them to the SPCA. I don't know if you still can. You used to be able to. How fun for the family and the kids, though. I never had an animal growing up, but having an animal that also has like a litter. My first time seeing birth was a cat giving birth. Cool memory, I reckon, as a kid, you never forget that.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And back in the 90s, you didn't get your cat's fixed, eh? Because I'm the same. Cat Tick gave birth to a litter of cat kittens. And it was gorgeous. It was a great time. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah. And then heartbreaking, though, because then you give them all away.
Starting point is 00:03:57 or sell them you've got to be devastating for the mum I know I know that's the thing right I mean I think we're so quick with animals to be like oh well let's sell up their cute little kittens and it's like that mum just gave birth we're so mean to like animals You should have to keep one
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah I mean all of them for a while would be nice Yeah So anyway there's just a cautionary tale So what's what was it? Am I taking away from this? Get your cat fix But they still get accused of it I think that's the moral of the story Yeah, or lock your horny cat inside
Starting point is 00:04:30 After hours, give them a curfew Just say they're gay so it covers your ass In that way, you know, like in terms of... I was half listening. Something about gay and covering your assing. Yeah, I heard that too. Maybe you should listen up, that's the moral of the story. Oh right, damn it, missed it.
Starting point is 00:04:44 All right, next on the show, Overthinkers podcast is a podcast we do after the show and Meg was asking us if we had a motto, like a life motto. Well, that's because I asked you the same questions that Dolly Parting got asked in her famous interview and we compared answers. And she had to answer her motto.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Before you hear what ours were, do you live by some sort of motto, whether it be in your career or in your personal life? It might even be someone else's motto that you've taken over and made your own. A mantra of sorts, you could say. Wait until you hear dance. He did not get his from anyone else.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I think yours definitely came from you alone. Yeah. Get your Clint McGinn and Dan Fix. This is the Overtinkers podcast. And to entice you to do so, every now and then we may play your highlight from the show where you go, oh, I miss that. That's okay, we got you. We got you. Meg was talking to us about mottoes yesterday, among other things.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yeah, it was an interview that Polly Dolly Parton. Why don't I keep doing that? Polytarton. Polytarton did in 2012 one of her mottos was about being kind of nice and I said, Dan, what's your motto, basically. We did a little bit of a whip around. We eventually got to Dan's, which was very original. What is your motto? I don't think I have one.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I've got a dad one. Let's make our motos. If it's important to them, it's important to me. That's my dad motto. It's very good. I love that. And it's so important. Clint, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Just having a parent interested in your interests is really means something. I think mine is just like if you can't smile, make someone else. Wow. What is that? If you can't smile, make someone else. What are you trying to be? Are you trying to be Mel Robbins? something.
Starting point is 00:06:26 We're not clipping that shit up put a shit in the line. That is honestly the most natural David Breit moment you've ever had in your life. If you can't smile, make someone else smile. Write that down. Dan Mewy, 2026. No shares.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I know. All right, so Dan, I did send you home to try and think of some other ones after that one. I do live, but the thing is I don't live by just one saying. I think that there's multiple sayings that you sort of live by. Right. Like, well, have you done your homework?
Starting point is 00:06:56 Mick said find a new motto. Make some new ones. I had forgotten, but I've thought up a few. Okay, cool. Don't judge a book by its cover. And that's just saying, you know, on... No, we know that one because it's very famous, Dan. You didn't make that one.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Don't make a quick decision on something before you really understand it. Rome wasn't built in a day. And that's just saying, you know... Again, and Dan, that's very much so that is a well-known saying. In fact, probably one of the most... Life is like riding a bicycle. to keep your balance, you must keep moving. And that's just saying, you know, always looking forward.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, are you reading these? This two shall pass. He's absolutely. All he's done is just googled quotes, I think, or mottoes to live by. Full seven times. Stand up, hey. And that's just saying, you know, get up. Actually, we should let him describe them glad because I don't know if he does know what they're meaning.
Starting point is 00:07:50 There is no growth without struggle. Ask the butterfly. Did you just make that one up? I think so. That sucks, bro. Oh. Yeah. I prefer Rome wasn't built a day.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Because that's just saying Rome is a big city. Yeah. And it's saying, you know, sometimes the good things take time. I think that's what it's saying. No, that's mainland cheese. Oh, bugger.
Starting point is 00:08:11 You've stolen that. Oh, well. Cheese and Rome. Cheese and Rome. Cheese and Rome weren't built in a day. Yeah. Cheese does take a long time, I think. It does.
Starting point is 00:08:19 The best cheeses, the tasties. You're going to leave them. Yeah, sometimes. I'm going to Blue Bane. Ticks podcast to 33443. If you want more Clint Megan Dan dribble. Or not. You don't have to.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And I'll say this. Don't do what someone else tells you unless you want to do it. Cool. Dan we're you. Clint Meg and Dan. The Edge Breakfast. The Edge. Clint Megan Dan's Scandal.
Starting point is 00:08:45 In Scandal this morning, Tim Curry has passed away at the age of 80, famous from things like the Rocky Horror Pips show. Home Alone And it Um Hi Georgie Aren't you going to say Hello
Starting point is 00:09:02 Oh but the new it No the older The original The 80s version An incredible actor He suffered from a major stroke of 2012 And has had I guess
Starting point is 00:09:13 Medical troubles since then And 80 as well So Dolly Pardon passed away At 80s It seems young nowadays It is It is very distressing To me
Starting point is 00:09:23 That 80 is is when we're losing these legends and the Royal Guard played 9 to 5 in honour of Dolly yesterday. Cool. It made me think how seeing all these tributes from Dolly and amazing stories.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Did you see what Eminem posted? No. Eminem posted a letter that Dolly Parton once wrote him. They never met and she said, I really hope to meet you one day because you're an incredible young man and I'll read in the next scandal. and I sat there and I thought
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'd never heard that story and all these stories filtered through yesterday of the people that met Dolly famous and not famous and what a woman to have lived this life that when she passed everybody had a good story about her Is it not hard though because I love, I want to hear that story
Starting point is 00:10:10 right of the letter that she wrote to him in it's not hard for celebrities to go I one time got a letter from Dolly Potter and then everyone goes, it's not about you mate do you know what I mean? Like because there were people that did that I think this is showing how hateable she is though Penitia. It was after he was
Starting point is 00:10:24 I think nominated for some sort of award and she said that he deserved it and she would one day like to meet him and then his caption was Never Got To Meet You I know and I'm like how is it good oh that's sad Yeah how busy are you that you don't go sure where are you dolly I'll like the time I'm not working nine to five Yeah Yeah I thought so too

Starting point is 00:11:44 That's my thing Richie I don't agree more Yeah I just see you drive a Toyota Aqua Richie Now this is the thing I've got a bit of a thing
Starting point is 00:11:51 With Toyota Aqua drivers Every time I see one on the road I avoid them at all cost because usually they're terrible drivers. That's what Dan says. But there's always exceptions to the rule as well. So are you that exception, Richie? Oh, actually, I'm 100% with Dan.
Starting point is 00:12:05 I don't drive a personal car to Toyota Aqua. That's just a work car. Oh, yes. I fear anyone who drives an Aqua. Oh, so you actually hate Aqua drivers and you're forced to be one when you're working? Correct. I was actually behind one yesterday,
Starting point is 00:12:19 and it was an Auckland Transport one, so it's a government-owned one. and he was indicating left and turned right. That's not possible. It's not possible. It's not possible. It's laid on the horn
Starting point is 00:12:31 because my wife calls the horn an educational device. And I laid on the horn and said, Use your indicator properly. Out the window. Did you actually? Those exact words? Well, I used another one as well, Richie, but I won't say with that one.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Don't you get nervous that somebody goes, that's Stan from the edge? Yeah, good one, mate. Yeah, but I also kind of want them to think that. So then they go, God, yeah, I should have to do. should have been driving better. Oh, because it's because it's Dan's such a badass at all.

Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh, six months of tomorrow. Yay. Oh, wow, fresh. So you're still on the honeymoon stage doing it like every second day and stuff? What the hell? My rabbits, mate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Remember that? I love how we. interested Clint is to talk to someone that's in a happy marriage. I remember the first six months, geez, because we waited five years before we slept together until we were married. So, we were making up for lost time. And no kids at that point. That just sounds boring.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yeah. Our producer Brady's eyes just got real wide. You're five years, bro. Isn't that incredible? And any issues last night on the security rounds? None. None at all. That's a good night.

Starting point is 00:14:42 Really? That's a thing. Trust me. So good. It's a thing. 90640, up next on the Edge. Your favorite radio show? And podcast for.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Edge Breakfast. Clint Megan Dan Dad. It's time to get naughty at 640. Got a clip here of a kid finding out how babies are made. Dad must have told him the kid looks like it might be 10. When is the time to do that now? Because the internet's a thing.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Oh, I think Daisy already knows. Yeah, the tricky thing is. Really? Yeah, she sent me pregnant. She knows, well, not how they're made, but she's semi-pregnant. Then she goes, how the baby get in there? And then I was just like... What did you tell her?
Starting point is 00:15:23 I think, what did I say? I just said... Be careful here? Because there might be kids. No, I know. But I just said, well, the baby is half of daddy and half of mum. And I don't even... I don't think I directly said how it happened, obviously.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Well, I don't think she knows. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So this is... Is this about, like, how... The dad told the... Right, not how babies are made. Yeah, I get it.
Starting point is 00:15:45 I do think you probably have to tell kids early than you think. Because if you wait until you think they should know, they probably are. already do and they've been, or they've been told a warped version of it. The annoying thing about this clip is that dad's gone and chucked that bloody saxophone music over it and it's pretty loud. But the kid
Starting point is 00:16:01 we pick up the clip where he's just found out that mom and dad take the clothes off and things and he's devoid. Well, it's not like you think. John, everybody knows it. It's just new to you. You literally take your clothes off and do that? That's how it's how it works with humans.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Yeah, same as with animals, but they don't take the clothes off because they're not. Oh, you know, you actually did that with Mom? A bunch of times. No. He's devastated that that happened to his mom. I remember the day I found out. I remember. I was probably 13. 13, 14.
Starting point is 00:16:40 That's quite late. Yeah, I know it was. But I was given a book called Where Did I Come From? And then there was another one. Everybody's seen that book from the 19th. Yeah, what's happening to me? What's happening to my body? Where did I come from?
Starting point is 00:16:51 How do they spell that? Like normal spelling? What is it wrong with you? It's an educational case book. You need to take you, check yourself before you wreck yourself, bro. Have you any riddle in? Yeah, maybe Clint needs something. And so, yeah, I got that.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I remember reading it. And it was given to me from my Australian cousin, like as a hand me down. My mum got it from them. Yeah. And then I remember asking my mum, is this what they do in Australia? Thinking it was like an Australian thing. And she was like, no, that's how we all do. Wouldn't that be funny if we all did a different ways, depending on which country you're in?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Yeah. And maybe we do it. I don't know if those are still a thing. It was an easy way to tell your kids you just give them a book and go go to town on this. My kids found out a pretty direct way by asking GROC, which is like the Siri for Tesla. Were they found out through AI?
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah, they were just because GROC is in the car and you can push it and it can navigate you and it answers questions and they can play games. But isn't Grog the one that's quite sexual? It's the Elon Musk version. Yeah, but I know he did a sex bot one. This is just like his version of Siri. And the kid said,
Starting point is 00:17:51 a baby's made. And I was like, oh, this could be funny just to see what it says, because I've got my finger hovering. And then it goes, when a man takes us and puts it inside a woman and then he, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And I'm like trying to turn the bloody thing off. It was just very explicit. What did you, it's not explicit.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It is just factual. I was like, whoa, man. I figured out that this is a 10-year-old girl. She referenced a 9-year-old boy's voice and go, sorry, mate, you sound too young. Talk to mum and dad. I mean, it is an AI supposed to be smart. Should have known that that there was two kids in the car. That's sad.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Yeah. Or isn't Clint meant to be smart and not ask AI on speakerphone? I think we can't assume that. Okay, sorry. After the last 45 minutes of radio, I think it's become a bodily clear. Do you have good or bad memories of the birds and the bees chat? Like, where were you told? Was it the wrong place, the wrong time, the wrong information?
Starting point is 00:18:45 Because it is a core memory for a lot of people when you find out. I think my mum was a single mum and she did a great job. I think maybe with a male is probably a dad thing to say to explain to the male son. I don't know. I think I was like 9 or 10. I'm dreading the day I have to do that. Meg was 9, you were 13? I think so.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I think I found out at school. I don't think I was told by my parents. Oh, your health class was wild for people who hadn't had to chat. No, just from like kids with older siblings. A lot of bananas lost their lives in there. Yeah, yeah, they did. Your favorite radio show? In Podcast 4.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Edge Breakfast, Clint Meg and Dan. Cute little clip going around of a kid. devastated when he finds out about the birds and the bees and how he was made and what his dad did to his mum? I think it's actually quite timely. I've just realised I think my first actual knowledge of that was probably from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And after Tim Curry died today, I was just thinking about it this morning how many times I watched
Starting point is 00:19:39 that movie or the stage show. And that's when I found out that people probably way too young to watch that. My parents made a mistake by letting me watch it. I loved it. My daughter's watched the full season of friends almost three times now. And so I think she's probably learning a lot more than I think. But the problem is I feel like there are little holes where things are implied but not fully described. So I need to make sure those holes are filled in the right way.
Starting point is 00:20:04 That explains a lot. That must have made your freak flag fly me when you watch the rocky horror. I think so. I think it did make me a bit of foot. I don't know. I don't want to say I was a freak. In a good way. In a good way.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. Definitely was that. Well, I don't recommend it. But I also don't not recommend it. Somebody said their dad gave him a book and said, read this. Come to me, if you've got any questions. Oh, yeah. Was it the, where did I come from book?
Starting point is 00:20:26 Probably. I think it was genuinely like a really good way to find out because there was no actual picture ever. It was just all drawn, like, you know, cartoons? Cartoons. Does it still exist? I'm going to look right now. Where did I come from for the 1990s?
Starting point is 00:20:40 I'm sure it's not PC now. Maria, do you have a little bit of PTSD from the chat? I don't. but I think I disturbed my child when I told him he had all of the questions and I kind of, you know, told him the truth and he looked at me with this sort of devastating face and he was like, so you've done that twice.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, just twice, funny. Only twice. Just you and your sibling? Yeah, absolutely twice. How old was he when you told him or are you out of interest? I think he was probably about nine. Okay. Yeah, and really wanted to know and wanted to know what happened.
Starting point is 00:21:22 But, yeah, when the truth came out, he was kind of like, I said it's not as bad as you think. Okay, on a level of like one to a hundred, 100 being like you gave him every single detail, where did your chat sit, do you think? Like, how much do you give? 80%, 90%, I would say, oh, goodness, yeah, probably 80. I didn't give all the gory details. But, you know, they need to know. Yeah, okay. It's hard to know what age to do it now.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Yeah, it is. It is. And I wanted to get in before school. Yeah, before somebody else tells them. Yeah, true. Bex, good morning. Oh, morning. And my mother-in-law decided to tell my children about it when they were.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I think they were like seven and nine and showed them a book, explained everything, including self-love. and that she self-love. Oh, my God. Oh, no, you're joking back. Wait, without your permission, clearly. Without my permission. How did you say?
Starting point is 00:22:27 And happily told me about it, so excited afterwards and didn't understand while I was pissed off. She told her grandchildren how she likes to self-love. To a seven-year-old grandkids. Oh, that is nightmares. Oh, that would have fractured the relationship I would have thought. Oh, God. My goodness. What's the relationship like now with mother-in-law?
Starting point is 00:22:52 It's quite good. She's the ex-mother-in-law now, but we're all right. Is that the reason your actual marriage broke out? Wait, when you went and told you're a partner, did they side with their mum and go, well, you know what I mean? Well, somebody had to do it. Yeah. Or were they like, oh my God, that's shocking. I'm going to talk to mum.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I think he was just as pissed off, but didn't say anything. Oh, yeah, classic. Oh, the cat's got an opinion as well. Crazy. Could you imagine? It's just so hard to know when to do it though now, eh? Seven-year-old doesn't need to know that Nana's doing that to herself. No, true.
Starting point is 00:23:29 It's harder. I'm 37 and I don't want to know still. True. True. Me when my mum told me Nana and Papa were still doing it. And I was like, okay, mate. Your family's weird, eh? I was talking about old people and getting it on.
Starting point is 00:23:44 And then mum was like, well, Nana and Papa still do it. I was like defending them? Also, how does she know? Oh, we're a close family. Meg's just showing me photos of the book. Where did I come from? They bring up any memories, Dad? Honestly, PTSD, man.
Starting point is 00:23:59 All right, easy money. The letter is H, if you can give us 10 answers. Starting with H in 30 seconds. We've got a thousand bucks going into your bank account today. O-Wed under the edge. Easy money. Clint. Time.
Starting point is 00:24:10 You ready, Bergen? And Dan. Oh, my God. Easy money. 30 seconds. the clock if you can give us 10 answers starting with today's letter H. H. A thousand bucks is yours. You can pass if we've got time
Starting point is 00:24:22 we'll come back but you can't give us the same answer twice. All right. Hi Lainey. Hi. Morning Lainey. How's Nelson? Yeah, it's good. It's good. Wendy. Wendy. Now, lady, we've got fairly close over the last couple of days. We've had a couple of people get to eight questions. So hopefully we can get
Starting point is 00:24:42 closer with you. Okay, nice pace. Hopefully. Lainee and the cash could be yours. Here we go. The time starts at the end of me asking you your first question, good luck. Okay. Give me a girl's name.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Helen. A boy's name. Henry. A car brand. Aundi. Something you'd eat for breakfast. Hashbound. A body part.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Head. Something round. Um. Or pass. An adjective. Half. Happiness or happy. A retail store?
Starting point is 00:25:20 Um, us. A country? Holland. Time, lady. That was question nine. That was very good. Your last question would have been a six-letter word. And something round was we had a hula hoop, a whole, a hamburger, a hockey park and a retail store, H&M, Hallenstein's Harvey Miller.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah. Yeah. You were very good. You were flying to start. I was bad than the last time I tried it, that's for sure. Do you know, I think that? might have been the first time we got somebody correctly do an adjective and it didn't throw them and they didn't
Starting point is 00:25:51 pass. You don't know what they are. Been out of school too long. And it was a classic case, Lainey, of the first pass and it threw you. Because you were really fast until then. I was at age. Yeah, I was like, I've got this here. I've got it now. And I'm like, damn. You did very well. Thank you so much, Lainer. You can play again
Starting point is 00:26:07 at 8. Cool. Coming up next, there are 10, but we've all got our floors. How many points do we lose for those floors? Yeah, there was a woman actually did it up front on TikTok. She said, you know what, I am in the dating pool again. This is what I look like. These are my flaws.
Starting point is 00:26:22 So we'll judge here. Clint Ming and Dan, Edge Breakfast. We all have our floors. How many points, though? Does it cost us out of 10? Actually, The Dream has a song from back in the day, which is probably quite fitting for this segment. Shorty's a 10, but everyone has their flaws.
Starting point is 00:26:45 How many points do you lose for those floors? No one's perfect. No, are they? It's a great song. For us. Okay. good song if you're in love with a tin man because it's like in
Starting point is 00:26:58 in the wizard of Oz. Oh because she sounds like she's saying tin. Yeah, she should have kept it in my head that one. So we play a little game that everybody starts out of 10 and then they do some things and they lose points for it. And there was a woman who actually front footed this. We can all agree she's a very attractive
Starting point is 00:27:16 woman. She's a 10. Yes, very much. She's a very naturally beautiful, attractive woman and she's back on the market. So she said if you want to date me, I'm front footing. this is, these are the things that I do. Okay, so she starts at a 10, at least how many points she loses. But really, I don't wash my strawberries before I eat them.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I don't wash any of my fruits and vegetables. Fine, I don't care. If you're 10, I think you keep 10 for that. Yeah, and I tell my wife that I've washed them when she asks, but I don't know you can be bothered washing the vegetables. I mean, well if I remember, but I think she'd lose points if you're that hot. I don't wash my water bottles. Oh, they get really moldy and disgusting.
Starting point is 00:27:51 They can, yeah. She says until she sees them. mold? She doesn't... Okay. She's going to lose a point for me. A point, maybe? Apparently you're supposed to wash them weekly. Really? I need to be better then. So, a nine? Yeah, I get. She drops a point, okay. I am a barefoot
Starting point is 00:28:06 person. I don't wear shoes. I don't like to wear shoes. What about when you go out to eat? I'll wear flowy pants so that you can't see my feet. Oh, even out for dinner? See, that's a weird, because obviously in New Zealand we are more open to just being barefoot. I think so anyway, so that didn't bother me at all. Until she was like, restaurants, high.
Starting point is 00:28:24 wherever I go, I don't wear shoes. That's getting to like, yeah, just a little bit messy type of person. I'm dropping three points for that. Three? You're going down to a six? I'm going to say she's a seven still. I think that's more fair. Happy medium. Seven, I'm happy with that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Okay, all right, she's seven so far. But I do clean my ears. I have every single tool available to me to clean my ears, but I'm going to clean them with a bobby pin. Oh, see, I do that. I didn't know that. A bobby pin? Yeah, yeah, just use a bobby pin
Starting point is 00:28:56 because you're not meant to use a conurb because it presses more in, a bobby pin kind of hooks. No, that's disgusting, Meg. Would you rather them just not clean them out at all or use a bobby pin? I think just wash them in the shower like most people do.
Starting point is 00:29:09 What do you mean? Like inside? Yeah. That's what you're supposed to do. I pour water inside there. Well, not pour, you know, like just get your fingers and just do a bit of a wash, like you rest of your body. Okay, how many points?
Starting point is 00:29:20 So, would she losing points for that? it's pretty gross what are you taking her down to her six just now a six final thing last floor that she's admitted to but when I do not have floss I will pull out my own hair like the hair from my head
Starting point is 00:29:35 and I will use that as dental floss she's down to a three if I see a woman if I see a woman who has got no shoes on in the restaurant and then she whips out of bobby pit and cleanses out her ear I might answer okay we're in whatever but then she pulls out a piece of her hair and flosses her teeth, three.
Starting point is 00:29:53 But this makes me, this concerns me because this makes me wonder what other hot people are doing when you think they're really hot and perfect. Yeah, yeah. Behind closed doors. You're right, with one or two, fine, but when you put them all together, she does seem like quite a...
Starting point is 00:30:05 A specific type of person. Loose. Yeah. Person when it comes to her personal hygiene. This is quite a niche one, and I think everybody knows what it means when I say white spit. Oh, on the corners of the mouth?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Oh, you lose four points for me. Oh, yeah. Same, so I saw a girl. a pole vaulter, professional pole vaulter, and very attractive young lady, and she'd just done a pole vault, and she was doing the interview at the end. And obviously she's been exerting herself. But she had white spit at the side of the hook. Oh, you judge mental, us. She'd just done pole vault. I know, I know. But it was, I was like, oh, God, no, no. Oh, my gosh, that's shallow hell in real life. Get your Clint Meg and Dan Fax. The edge. Everyone starts at a 10, and then obviously tell us what their floor is, and we will reduce their points. 10. Okay, so we just actually had somebody and we got them down to, I think, a three or a four.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah, but there was multiple things. Yes, and I think it was unfair. But someone sticks through wanting to know our opinion on there are 10. And this is quite, I guess, topical at the moment, but they're vaping. Takes it down a lot for me. Do they just, do they just vape like maybe once a week with a couple of drinks? Or do they vape all the time? The person in question, Sarah is her name.
Starting point is 00:31:22 she said that she went on a date with a guy last week and he is a 10 extremely attractive but he was vaping most of the date I would say that takes them down to a 5 in my opinion from a 10 But sometimes it smells like bubble gum
Starting point is 00:31:35 I know but it's gross I just hate Whenever I walk past someone vaping And I inhale the smell Like I smell the grape I'm like I've literally inhaled Something that's been inside your lungs It's disgusting
Starting point is 00:31:46 Yeah you're right It's something that's gone inside somebody's body Yeah it's so gross And not good for you either. I'd go an eighth. Oh, yeah. Ten to an eight, I think. Somebody else said, I've just
Starting point is 00:31:58 started dating a guy and he continuously, even though I've told him we are shoes off house, will wear his shoes inside. Yuck! And do you know what goes with that? The disrespect that he's not listening to you or remembering it goes down three. True. You know, like he's just like, ah, no, I'm not
Starting point is 00:32:14 just the shoes, it's the fact that he either isn't listening to you or did listen and it doesn't care. Or just keeps forgetting, no, three. I'm always one of those people that goes if someone takes his shoes off when they come to my house. I go, I'll leave them on. It's all good. But you've got to kid that crawls around on the carpet. No, he's walking now. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:32:30 He's all good. Yeah, yeah. Let's go to Hannah. Oh, 800 the edge. Hey, Hannah. Hi. Morning, Hannah. Now, you're actually not necessarily calling up for a he's a 10, but you're just saying that this is grossing you out all this chat. Yeah, I just don't do, like, bodily
Starting point is 00:32:46 fluids of any kind. Of any kind. Well, your partner's a 10, but? He actually has like a really bad nose. So like he has to blow it a lot and he sniffed a lot. I hate a sniffer. Yeah. Well like he snorts it and it's like, oh.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Oh yeah, I don't know. Have you spoken to him about it that you don't like it? And what's his answer? He just kind of says, oh, you know I have problems. I'm sure he can get it fixed. Does he play sport and blow snot rockets out I'll cross the pitch? You know those ones?
Starting point is 00:33:26 Yeah, I don't know. Okay, how many points are they? I don't want to talk about it. I think we called her a radio, so you kind of have to. Oh, did we? I was sorry about that, Hannah. Yeah, Hannah's like, she's like, she's like, he texts you in peace.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Yeah. I thought she'd called us, so we forced her to talk on the radio. Bless her. He's a 10, but he's into model trains. Someone's set on the text machine. Oh, it's nice to have a hobby. Yeah. Maybe nine.
Starting point is 00:33:48 If the trains are in a session and you can't get them out of the house, maybe under seven. I find it a 10. I like people with hobbies and passions that they like. Small little miniature things. Meg loves that. Yeah, that doesn't bother me at all. And someone else's text through Paul saying, I think he's referring to the smelling vape. Yeah. And he says, Dan, you're in the studio and you three
Starting point is 00:34:07 are currently sharing air that's been inside each of your lungs. The difference is, Paul, I can't smell Meg's ear that's been inside her lungs. That's so sweet.

Starting point is 00:39:24 Clint McGahn's Scandal. And Scandal this morning, unfortunately, Tim Carrey, famous from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It. Hi, Georgie. Aren't you going to say hello? And home alone. Horsekeeping.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Mr. McAllister. And how are we this morning? A limousine and a pizza. An incredible. actor. Honestly, such an incredible actor. I was listening to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack again this morning over and over on my way in. And even in songs,
Starting point is 00:39:58 the way he acted was just flawless. And it's going to be a sad watch the chef with Home Alone because not only Tim Curry but also the mum, Kevin. Kevin McAllis's mum, Captain Rojara. And the lady that played the crazy pigeon lady. They both all died this year.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Yeah, so Tim has passed away. I don't think I even finished that sentence. At the age of 80 the day after Dolly Pied and passed away, the same age. Tim suffered a major stroke in 2012 and I believe has passed from medical troubles since then. And if you haven't seen it as well this is a nice upbeat thing. The Royal Guard
Starting point is 00:40:31 yesterday played 9 to 5 in honour of Dolly yesterday. I hope they play Time Warp today. Yeah. That would be just... You're like, oh, another song we have to learn. Also, if you are in home alone, it's only August. You'd be a little bit worried, wouldn't you? I'm a wholly Colkin's a bit younger. Yeah, yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Just hits in Auckland. The edge. The edge. A few stories to chuck on your radar next for the 27th of August, including what happens if you are somebody who doesn't claim your lotto ticket? There is still $20.1 million waiting to be claimed in an Auckland suburb of Blockhouse Bay. It has been just over a month since that ticket won. Wow.
Starting point is 00:41:13 A share of the $40 million jackpot and somebody still got the ticket. But what you maybe didn't know is the Lynx Lotto go to Detroit. and find you. I mean, imagine if you're... Hopefully, they know that one. Because imagine if they had it. She's sitting in a drawer. Mental.
Starting point is 00:41:31 It's the edge. Listen to your favorite breakfast show. Whenever you like. Clint Megan Dan. The edge. Clint Megan Dan. What you want. What you have?
Starting point is 00:41:40 All right, a few stories put on your radar for the 27th of August you might not know about. This is a big developing story that's going to be... It's just starting as we speak over in America. So Facebook and Instagram owner, Meta has agreed to pay 18. billion dollars, which is about 30 billion New Zealand dollars, to settle claims brought by 29 US states that
Starting point is 00:42:00 its platforms of harm children. As part of this agreement, Mera says it will make changes to its platforms nationwide. And this is just in America at this point, where they're going to pose daily limits on kids and nighttime blocks for teenage
Starting point is 00:42:16 users. So it's going to limit the amount of time that teenagers and young people can go on their platforms, which obviously at Instagram and Facebook. Two hours a day is all they're going to be allowed. Notifications on the platform silence during eight and three school hours. Turning autoplay features are off. It's exciting.
Starting point is 00:42:36 But this obviously is well. You need to remember it's just the matter owned one. So there's still TikTok and umpteen other different social medias that are still free for all. Hopefully they follow suit though if Facebook starts and sets the standard. All right. The $20 million ticket out of an Auckland suburb of Blocker Space is still waiting to be claimed despite the fact that was won over a month ago.
Starting point is 00:43:00 You have a year to claim your prize before it goes back into the prize pool. Here's the interesting part is that for unclaimed prizes, Lotto doesn't just wait for you to come to them. They will actually try and find out when the ticket was purchased, what time, what payment method was used, use store records, CCTV, and other ways to try and track you down.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Wow. And one particular example was when Lotto gave away $22 million and it wasn't claimed in Christchurch. So the CEO personally found out where they lived and flew to Christchurch, knocked on the door and said, I think you might want to check your ticket. And the person was the person with it. I was wondering that are they going to be able to maybe look at the CCTV footage
Starting point is 00:43:43 of that dairy in Lockhouse Bay and go back and try and help find the person that got that specific time? The thing is, I mean, that proves that they purchased it. Yeah. Whether they've not lost or not is another story, isn't it? They record lotto says that roughly around $10 million a year goes unclaimed with a lot of win. That pisses me off. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Because I could have won that and I'd be straight down there the next day. Buy a ticket, check it. My goodness. And you may have seen this going viral. I'm going to get a bounce back set up so you can see if you haven't already. A contestant called Jay Segal. I'm actually chatting to her at the moment right now on TikTok because I want to get her on the show. She went viral for going on the Price is Right, which is a game show over in America.
Starting point is 00:44:24 She won in June, and it's just going viral of her reactions and her... It's been described as one of the most memorable celebrations in games show history. On your trip to the Grand Canyon. And finally, say goodbye to the school bus and hello to your brand new car! I told him my car last week. I told her my car last week She's like She doesn't know where the Grand Canyon is
Starting point is 00:44:53 She's from California And it's just down the road It's down the road She goes where is that And she's in California Because I'm talking to her right now And she's like the time difference Yeah she won $75,000 in prizes
Starting point is 00:45:05 Two cars A trip to the Grand Canyon She was cartwheeling around She was picking up the hosts And Drew Carey We're going to try and get her on next week I think I've been to the Grand Canyon
Starting point is 00:45:15 I'll be honest It's hard to miss Yeah If you want to see it It's a bit of a longer video a video, all her reactions. It's a good fun. Jay, J-A-Y to 3-3-3, I'll text the back to you.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Okay, next guy's been working on something, but I hope you like. Oh, Dan, now how do we describe this to people? Well, the last time he did this, remember, he said he'd been working on something overnight, and he put his wife in a cupboard and recorded her, and it was the most shocking piece of radio I've ever heard. In history, it
Starting point is 00:45:44 was the most shocking piece of radio. It's an observation that I have noticed, and once you notice, you can't unnotice it, that Love is Blind, the TV show, the new UK version. I'm not going to spoil anything, and if you don't watch it, I think you can still have fun. And then, um, I wondered
Starting point is 00:46:00 what life would be like if it was a lover's blind episode. Oh, don't write Meg and I into this. This is your thing, Clint. We have scripts and I want you to read them exactly how I've written. A Megh. It's Breakfast, Clint Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Love is a dating reality show where you can only date and propose, yes, actually propose and actually get married to a person that you never get to see, you only get to talk to them. And it's cut down into a few episodes, but I believe they talk for hours and days and days and days. Well, it's to take out the physical attraction, isn't it? Exactly. You just learn to love someone's personality.
Starting point is 00:46:36 And you sit there and go, okay, well, it's good for people that are maybe not as societely seen as attractive, but apparently it's also very good for the super super hot because then they're like, oh my God, they didn't like me just because I'm this gorgeous blondeie, hottie. They like me for who I am. So for people that have never watched it before is there a mix of real agmos. They used to be. Now it's mostly just hoties, if I've been honest.
Starting point is 00:46:56 True. It's changed. They're just all hot. Yeah. Yeah. And there's something I've noticed and I don't want us to ruin the show for you, Meg. But it's like, whoever's in charge of the music, as soon as someone's talking about something, they'll find a song that literally just reiterates exactly what's being said.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Like there's this guy here. He's a Christian. He was praying just before the doors are about to open. and saying that he's like put his faith into this experiment and he hopes it doesn't let him down and then the music comes in. My faith has definitely been my strength. Can I put my faith in you?
Starting point is 00:47:31 I can't believe I'm about to see her. I don't know what that's going to look and feel like, but I can't, can't wait. Somebody is like not taking creative license at all, basically. Yeah. They've just copy and paste it. It's clever. Then there's this other trick,
Starting point is 00:47:45 and she's talking about how much she loves this guy. She's like, oh my God, I'm in love. and she hasn't been in love before. So obviously the guy with the music, like, what could I do? I love his little cute, like accent. I'm like, okay, it's for love. It's for love. We're here for love.
Starting point is 00:47:58 A day guys in the past that accept my beliefs, and then eventually they're like, no. They just found a love song through that one in there. Okay. quite deep and special between us. Any question or doubt up until this point that I had, she kind of put my mind at ease. Turns out of Adam.
Starting point is 00:48:33 I see what you mean about, like, if this was in real life, if you were to say something, you had a backing track that just, like, added to what you were saying, it'd be quite impactful. Yeah, would it? Yeah. Let's see if it is next. Don't encourage it, Meg.
Starting point is 00:48:45 For you, Meg, and also you, Dan. And then obviously there's music interludes. A we dating? No, we're all just hanging out as friends at Dan's house. More believable then. The Edge. The Edge is the home of Clint McGinn Dan. The Edge.
Starting point is 00:48:58 Clint Megan Dan, Love is Blind, UK, a brand new season. I'm about five Epton, Meg's three. And I've just noticed that every time there's a conversation, when the conversation ends, they'll bring in music that just really doubles down on what's being said. It's almost like comical sometimes. Like, there's drama, right, between, a guy and a girl who didn't
Starting point is 00:49:19 peer up in the pods. They've got their own partners but they meet up together. No, really? And this conversation ensues. Our date was boring compared to the date I had an affair.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Me is going boring. Yeah, the drama's going down whether you like it or not. It's just every time they choose a song is just so cliche. So what would life be like if we're a Love Island?
Starting point is 00:49:52 I'm sorry, Love is Blind episode. I've written a script. Meg, you've got some lines. Dan, you've got some lines. I'm just going to be the narrator. And then I've chosen some songs. I've actually created some songs that I think would fit well in this scenario. Let me get this straight.
Starting point is 00:50:08 You've written a script. And then you've also written some songs. Yeah. What could go wrong? Okay. Good luck to everyone. Thank you so much. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:17 So we're going to start with Clint. Have you sent us the script? Yeah. But yeah, I just emailed it through. Clint Meg and Dan were having drinks at Dan's after work. The door was unlocked, so Clint and Meg let themselves in. Action. Can I get you guys someone to drink?

Starting point is 00:50:56 Obviously with your hair cut. Right. No. Dan went off to make a drink while Megan Clint laughed in the lounge together. Oh my God, Clint, you crack me up. For goodness. I know everyone thinks Dan is the funny one, but I hope he doesn't get jealous hearing me giggle like this.
Starting point is 00:51:12 I really feel like a school girl again. Oh, God. I don't blame me. She secretly wants him. Oh, good. Her eyes devouring him. I I mean
Starting point is 00:51:35 She wants to hold his hand But obviously You know Kids listen to the shows Wow Clint Meg left after

Starting point is 00:52:39 Why do we give it to her? Filling the air. Why do we give him the tie? I read the best of it. that we got from Clint last night in our group chat about this shit. Is that it? Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:52:50 So let me read these messages. That's what life would be like if it was a lover's blind episode with songs just reiterated what had happened. 5.40pm. Hey team, I've been working on something real hard for the bottom of Stephen tomorrow. Hopefully goes all right. Working on something real hard.

Oh, yep. Oh, sorry Alex, we couldn't get the grand into your hands. Back again tomorrow, 7 and 8 o'clock. It is something for us to recap our imposter stories next. We had three people all say they had celebrity encounters for different reasons. Two of them are lying. We're going to try to award the truthful story $500 next.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Get your handcuffs ready. Get your detective hats ready because we are going to solve this case. It's like a murder case You got your handcuffs, Meg? Boys, Glenn, they're in my bag. Fluffy and red? She clips into her belt. No, leather and black. Oh, hey.
Starting point is 00:55:42 He's comfortable. Get your Clint McGinn and Dan fix. One truth. Two lies. And $500. Clint's Meg and Dan. Three stories, two of them lying. One of them is the truth.
Starting point is 00:55:59 This has been the hardest week. We've done it. True, I agree. I agree. previous weeks. I still don't know. We awarded the cash to the truthful story week one. We unfortunately gave it to an imposter.
Starting point is 00:56:08 It was a bloody good liar last week. We need to find out who is telling the truth. I'll give you a very quick recap of the three stories and then let us know. I think if you've heard all three, I think your vote carries more weight than if you've only heard one or two. We need to listen to Meg this week. She's been right every time. I don't know, boys. I don't know if I'm that confident this week.
Starting point is 00:56:28 All right, this was Max meeting one of Meg's idol, Stanley Tucci. I moved to London, I ended up being a runner on a San Pellegrino ad. Stanley Tucci comes to us as like the runners and goes, oh, I need some apples. Like PA was like, yo dude, you go drive, find some organic apples. And we spent overall like two days trying to find him these apples. A two-day apple hunt for Stanley Tucci? Seems unlikely. Oh, was it a Rosie story of a celebrity encounter?
Starting point is 00:56:57 I once came face-to-face with Harry Stiles. I saw him riding on a line bike. London. I've always wanted a Harry-style tattooed. If I get him a Sharpie and he can write signature or something on me, then I can get that tattooed. Story went on, she found one, he drew some sort of a bird on her own and she got it tattooed the same day. I don't know. And me and Jacob yesterday says, no, no, no, those two are lying because this happened to him. So I was in London and I came face-to-face with Gordon Ramsey, a cameraman for a travel
Starting point is 00:57:32 blogger and we saw him in an airport. We went up to him and started yapping. He eventually challenged us to go find a better beef Wellington than he can make two days. I think that one's kind of believable, right? But what do you think we need your help? Every time that you give us feedback, we always miss things.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Let's not try and lead the witness too much. You just give us a call. After you've heard all those three, just even if you haven't heard it previously before today, agreed. Just what you've heard there, tell us what you think. Oh, 800 the Edge or 33443. Okay, we'll give you one song, so you've got three and a half minutes to get you vote in,
Starting point is 00:58:03 and then we will get the person who we think is telling the truth on the show. Next, award them the $500 and find out if we've given it to the right person or not. One truth, two lies, and $500. Three stories.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Max, Rosie, and Jacob. Max's was meeting Stanley Tucci and trying to find apples over a 48-hour period. Then Rosie said she got a tattoo. that Harry Stiles drew on her. And then Jacob said he came face to face with Gordon Ramsey who sent them on a wild goose chase to find a better beef Wellington.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I think the only sure fire one that people are saying is definitely a lie as Rosie in the Middle A. Yeah, unfortunately. Do you know what's put the nail in a coffin? Somebody said no way Harry would have drawn a tattoo that he already has on somebody else. Well, Hannah actually disagrees. Hannah thinks her and his son thinks number two is still on the truth.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Morning, Hannah. Good morning. Morning. So you think that the Harry Stiles, what is true? Yeah, so my 10-year-old son from the car with me on that way to school, and he reckons it's her. Now, how trustworthy is your 10-year-old son? He's very trustworthy.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Oh, nice. That's a nice thing to say. It was good to know. Okay, so we've got one vote there for the second one. But someone texting and saying, Stanley Tucci, that story, it was so ridiculous that it couldn't be made up, which has got, you know, a bit of weight to it. So that's Max, the Stanley Tucci one, right? Yeah, they'll...
Starting point is 00:59:29 Jacob, who we had yesterday. Someone just said, I don't know Jacob just sounds like a liar That's all I've got Yeah, but then Kingy said Jacob for truth Oh my goodness You guys are confused this morning Looking at the text and the calls
Starting point is 00:59:44 That are coming through, Danielle's on the line as well I'd say the line share of people Are saying Max, maybe Is telling the truth but it's very slim What you're a come, Danny? Oh, I'm actually quite torn Like I've listened to every week's ones
Starting point is 00:59:59 but I might be leaning more towards, is it Max the first place? Stanley Tucci in the Apple Hunt over two days? Yeah, another vote for Max. He was quite confident, and, I mean, if you're lying, you have to have some, unless he's a blooming good liar
Starting point is 01:00:15 and he can just cover it, but... Yeah, okay. Kerry has said the Ramsey story is a lie, so that's the final story, that's Jacob. Okay, and it's quite neat, she had the San Pellegrino fact, but there was a lot of things going into it. So are we going to go with Max?
Starting point is 01:00:28 Yeah. Okay. We'll go with Max. What? So we're saying Max's? Telling the truth. Telling the truth. Got it wrong before, though, haven't we?
Starting point is 01:00:36 Getting him on? Max. Max? Hello? There he is. Max, good morning. Good morning. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:48 Well, congratulations, first of all, Max. We are choosing you as the person who is telling the truth. So you've just won yourself $500. That's it. You get it. Congratulations. But there's still one little bit of housekeeping who you need to get to.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Yeah, let's give you the floor. I'm so good. Max? I just want to say thanks to the 500 bucks, guys, because I truly am an honest, upstanding citizen, and I'm not trying to put it all over your eyes. Look, I'm a huge fan of Stanley Tucci and medium on TV set was lying about the apples and everything like that.
Starting point is 01:01:21 It's a story I've been telling the past few years or maybe I haven't. That being said, I can tell you guys that I am I'm telling the Twos. Apples! Wow, you're that bad. And you didn't mean, too, G. You worked with him. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:01:54 It's a crazy story. And when I told you guys, I was like, oh, I don't think you're going to believe me. I don't think you're going to believe it. Wow. Okay, so Rosie, your little line, B. She never met Harry Stiles. And Jacob never met Gordon. And yeah, well, well done.
Starting point is 01:02:07 It was an incredible story, and I'm not surprised you tell it a lot. Yeah, true. And that's the thing with this game. If you've got an amazing story, you tell it well, and believably, you can win 500 bucks. We did it. Nice one. So a two from three, that's not bad. Nice one, Danny, pointing us in the right direction right there.
Starting point is 01:02:24 At the end there, I appreciate you. Yep. You can stay on the force. Yeah, you can be part of the jury next week. Yeah, yeah, you're not fired. Well done. All right, well, if you have a great story, take story to three, three, four. if you think it's worth $500 next week.
Starting point is 01:02:38 And if you just tell a bloody good lie and you think you can convince us that something happened to you when it didn't, you can text lie to 3-3-4-3 and try and steal the 500 as an imposter. Yeah, an imposter won it last week, didn't they? Yeah. Steaky little bugs.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Coming up next, Books by Boomers. A book from 1974, I have the advice if you keep fighting with your husband on what you can do to fix that. Maybe guess is it sexist advice? Yes. Clint Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 01:03:05 It's breakfast. The Edge. Books by Boomer's. Mirabar Morgan wrote this I think in the 70s and it is very, very, very, very, very sexy. Is Mirabal still alive? Yes. She is. She's still kicking around as far as I know.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Bless her. So this is her advice, not mine. But if you are having arguments with your husband, she's giving me three tips on how to better that. And maybe if you've tried everything, Yeah. It's time to try this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:37 You've got a hot-headed husband who keeps yelling at you and arguing with you. This is what she says to do. Okay. Number one, control your tears. Oh my God. This. Control your tears. Otherwise, you teach your husband.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Don't tell her her faults. All she'll just cry. I've always sit there. Now gentle tears may make a man feel protective and strong, but great big. Heaving sobs will only unnerve him and make him want to get away from you fast. Oh God, Mirabal.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Yeah, he doesn't know how to cope with such emotion, but to protect his self-esteem, he will fight back with you. And everyone at one time or another hurts or offends their mate. So the next time your husband hurts you, instead of dwelling on what he did, maybe think about how you will respond to his actions. These are shocking.
Starting point is 01:04:29 I'd love to get Mirabal on and see if she still stands by her claims from her book. Yeah, because we talk about it. how a lot of things haven't aged well and this is over 50 odd years. I wonder if she'd be like, yep. Yeah, I think she'd stand by. I can't believe she said, don't like her husband will be like, don't tell her what's wrong with her.
Starting point is 01:04:45 She'll just cry. Number two, plan the proper time and atmosphere. An angry outbursts can scar your husband's emotions. Don't try and save your marriage while he's reading the sports page. Oh my God. Timing is important. Wow, I wouldn't. If you interrupt his favorite TV program,
Starting point is 01:05:03 you cannot expect him to be. happy listening to what you have to say. True. If you were watching the Warriors Sunday afternoon, and that's when your partner decided to have a combo about what's going wrong with your relationship, that would be a little annoying. Never interrupt me when I'm reading the newspaper. I've also found it easier to resolve a conflict
Starting point is 01:05:19 when my husband's blood sugar is high. Make sure his tummy is full and make him a nice dinner. And number three, gently tell him what is in your heart. It was Shakespeare who wrote. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low. What an excellent thing in a woman. Happy marriage Wow
Starting point is 01:05:37 Who's team is she on? Is she with a woman or the dudes? What are the dudes? Let's get a reprint of this book. Everybody should read it, I say. June and halfway through, not Meg's advice. That's actually from a book written in the 70s just to see how it's dated.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Yes, that one's not well. I guess it was just a thing of that time, wasn't it? Isn't it? Isn't that wild? The woman was the homemaker. He'd come home? Those poor moms. Those poor moms back in the day
Starting point is 01:06:02 that were just reading these books to say, don't, you know, everything is on you. All of his moods, all of his emotions, that's all on you and on your shoulders. Next, how you can score six tickets to R&V accommodation and a VIP vintage club upgrade rhythm and vines this year. Listen live weekdays from Sex on Rover and catch up wherever. This is Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 01:06:23 The Edge. It's Flat Idol. Flat Idol is going to be kicking up very, very soon. We're looking for five flats to go head to head. Right, produce, record their own. song however they see fit and we'll be battling them against one another. The winning song will win six R&V tickets, accommodation and a VIP vintage club upgrade R&V and Gizzy.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I mean, at the stage, forget about what you have to do. Just enter, you could win your flat. You could be the MVP of the flat for the year by getting your whole flat to R&V for the final one in Gisbon. Yeah, like six of you with Airbnb so you don't even have to like figure out tense or be in tense. Do you know how good that is? I do because I've done 10teen and I've done air.
Starting point is 01:07:04 and be a B and B and I promise it's better. Yeah. Imagine? You get up in a bed versus waking up in a tent. Hurricane years later you'd be having a drink
Starting point is 01:07:11 Friday afternoons you'd be like remember that time Jess won us all tickets to R&V? Yeah. It was like VIP and a comp. You know when I was saying this to my husband last night when your meal tastes better because you didn't cook it?
Starting point is 01:07:23 You know like you had the same meal but if you didn't cook you just sat down and suddenly there's a hot meal in front of you R&V will taste better when you didn't pay. And if you ever want a camp in a tent just put your bed in the backyard of your Airbnb. Sure. Best of both worlds.
Starting point is 01:07:35 So you've got to put together a tune. Obviously, there are easy ways, very easy ways to do that, and there are very difficult ways. And so when judging, we will score accordingly. But so we thought, Dan and I, were just chatting. When? We thought it might be nice to show people how easy it is to whip up a song,
Starting point is 01:07:53 because you'll have a week to whip up a song if selected. Meg, we thought we might give you a day just to show people how easy it is. We were talking, weren't we? In our group chat, we have. You and I are the voice chat. If you two were talking, you two are both the singers and the writers of the show. You wrote that song about that horse that had prostate cancer. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Here's the thing, Megan, in all due respect, because I will say this. And in all seriousness, you are very, very talented. You're one of the most talented people I've ever met. Just not at singing. So then why are you making me sing? Because if you can do it, they can. True. You know?
Starting point is 01:08:24 I see what you're saying. All right. Yeah, like if you can whip something up. That makes sense. Because you can write it. You've got the talent to write it. Yeah, they can write it. It's just the singing that I wonder.
Starting point is 01:08:32 whether it is going to be possible for people to sing and still win, you know. So Meg, do you want, how long do you want 24 hours? Or do you not even need that long? Just how many, I'll do it tomorrow. 12 hours. 12 hours, okay. We'll see what Meg can fry up in 12 hours, and you're going to have a whole week. It's going to be 24 hours.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Would 12 hours be tonight? Yeah, no, you said 12 hours. I didn't say 12 hours. He said 12 hours. Okay, Meg's bad at singing. I'm bad at math. Jesus. All right, if you want to reach time, you go, go on.
Starting point is 01:09:02 I'm sure the flatmates will get him behind me and make it work. We'll find a way. Just register by texting flat to 3343. We'll bounce you back the link and make it super easy for you. And then we'll put your song against four others. So you got a 20% shot at taking away the prize. This is your ticket to R&V for you and your flat. Simple as that.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Yep. You and four other flats go and head to head. So as Dan says, you'd have an 8% chance. I don't even know if he's joking because I'm bad at bats. 25% done. 20, me. Just shut up. Five flats, so you've got a 20% job.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Got record a song. Your favorite radio show? In podcast form. Edge breakfast, Clint Megan Dan. So, Clint is planning on going to America at some point, which means he needs to send his social media pages to Donald Trump and let him read through them to see if he's a good enough picture of it. Well, in a way, if you want to get an Esther,
Starting point is 01:09:54 you do have to put your social media in when applying to get a visa to enter the country. So they must go through, or someone must go through your social media to make sure you're not a baddie and let you in the country? I mean, here's the thing. I would recommend not going through your social media from 15 years ago. It is a cringe fest no matter who you are. Yeah, exactly. Mine is just as bad.
Starting point is 01:10:14 So I actually, this morning, went back through your Instagram. Nightmare. Not your Facebook. I switched it up a little bit this morning to see, because of course they check all social medias, don't they? I know my first post was of a Guy Sebastian album, so I don't regret that. And Clint's been a, I guess, a quasi-celebrity for many years. now so he was posting more than others.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Stop. You know? Yeah, okay, so we'll have this one. You haven't doctored any of these? I promise I haven't doctored them, but I am going to do them in a voice. Oh, cool, like a dumb, stupid voice. Yes, yeah, they am. Nice.
Starting point is 01:10:43 This is a picture of you holding a coffee cup. Times may be tough right now, but I'm thankful. We can still enjoy small perks like a takeaway coffee. I did not. Especially when it's free. How? Just download the BP Me app and unlock a free while being coffee that you can enjoy. So this would have been really.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Recently, this is COVID times, I'm guessing. Hashtag, thank you coffee. There were a lot of hashtags. Was that COVID? It was like six years ago. Still, you were old enough to know better. You posted a topless photo of yourself running, and then you said, what hurts you today makes you stronger tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Honestly, you need to have it taken off here. I'm like, that should give you strikes. Strike three, lose your account for a month. Another topless photo. And his undies. Can't beat the feeling of a lazy slundy Sunday sleep in. Is that it? Oh, another one.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Just a selfie of himself. pretty spoiled this father's day. Dad loves his jewelry just as much as mum does. Let me see another sponsor post. Oh, he was a Michael Hill. God, he thinks he looks like Johnny Depp there, eh? Oh, this is a good one. It sounds like you think I look like Johnny Depp there.
Starting point is 01:11:43 No. So this is the one where Clint is dressed up with a fake cigarette in his mouth. So you're dressing up as somebody, I don't know what it is, but it's a fake cigarette in your mouth. You go, when dress up is life. Hashtag fake sleeve tattoo. Hashtag it's flower that comes out of the cigarette. Did someone tell you the more hash?
Starting point is 01:12:01 Everybody saw you smoking. Don't worry. Let me ask, did you get that hashtag trending by any chance? Yeah, he's the only hashtag that has ever used it. Click on it. I can't, I can't. Oh, you've screenshot it. No one else has used that.
Starting point is 01:12:15 You would have to be the only person that ever is written in there as a hashtag. Okay. This one is a photo of him smiling. Were you trying to look like Johnny Depp this whole time? I think he was a little bit. It's him with long hair and like hats and stuff. He said, copped so much flack for this hat this morning. I found in my wardrobe and I dusted it off.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Seems not everyone vibes. My theory. you're a little unsure when you put something on, you'll probably bang on. Hashtag candid, hashtag peer pressure. He's fishing, eh? He's fishing, eh? He's fishing there. Stop at me again.
Starting point is 01:12:40 There's another one. This is you, again, sleeveless, working in the studio, and it's a screenshot of a video saying, I'm getting shit from the web girl for my work attire. Hashtag it's radio. Hashtag what winter? Hashtag aircon. Hashtag clothes, shaming.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Stop, please. No, there's more. There's more. Who told you that the more hashtags the better? This is this one that clip was doing. This is for, to make sure you can get into America. He's looking out into the old. it's the back of his head.
Starting point is 01:13:03 And he says, oh, what, you're taking a photo? Hashtag basic bitch. Hashtag I did know this photo was being taken. Man, you Clint, honestly. Someone must have told me, like, the more hashtags the better. This is another good one. This is a photo of you with Cornrose.
Starting point is 01:13:18 And you said, all the cool kids are doing it. Or they've had it done before. Hashtag Cornrose. Hashtag, I'm a loser and cringe. Oh my God, I do remember that. And then it was like over summer. And obviously, where the Cornrose part, I got sunburned so bad on the top of my hair
Starting point is 01:13:34 and then look like a dandruff. And this is my favourite one. It's a photo of you out with your brother and your friend Kish. And you say, off to bone thugs with these two gangsters, hashtag bald bone and hashtag full-skinned bone. That was quite good. Blake sticks through and said,
Starting point is 01:13:49 clip, this is the reason why they put the hashtag limit on Instagram. Shut up, don't you, weighing Blake. Good one, Blake, well done. Well done. Encourage Blake and people like that. The thing is me, correct me if I'm wrong. The hashtags were more than the actual status itself. Oh, yes, there's more hashtag no hang loose emoji, so I had to use this one.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Like, what are you even, why? Just write it. It's too long. I don't know what I was doing, man. I don't know. I was just like walking cringed flag. Emily, thanks for that hashtag. Don't let Clinton into America hashtag.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Want to hear more of Clint, Meg and Dan, but completely unfiltered. Catch their Overthinkers audio and video pod every single day on the Rover app. All wherever you get your pots. Overthinkers. Music, radio, podcasts.
