Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day? Congrats, you've found it. This is the Clint Megendan Podcast. Good morning everyone. I have here Nelson, Hamilton, Dunedin, Parmy, Wellington. You okay there? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Yeah, on here. Just a light breeze today. It's Clint Megendan yeah. Yeah, on here. Just a light breeze today. It's Clint Magandad. Kia ora, good morning. It is one to six on your Thursday. It feels like a Friday. Yay! Happy Easter. I've already got my
Starting point is 00:00:35 Easter eggs. I've eaten mine. It's disgusting. What a pig. What a pig. I know, I know. No, I will agree with him on this one, Clint. What an absolute pig. I went to get an Easter egg last night. I was like, oh, just one little one. And I was like, it's the last one, you pig woman.
Starting point is 00:00:51 You absolute slob. What is wrong with you? It's not even Easter. You've eaten your packet of eggs. I got one of the bunnies and I ate its arse out last night. Guy ate his bunny's arse last night. It's the best part. A lot of people start with the ears, but I go straight for the arse. Thicker, thicker.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Good thick rump. You don't want to get halfway through and then be too full for the arse. You ought to be the hungriest there. Very exciting day, though, because you haven't got your eggs. I was going to say, Easter Bunny, on that, can we please wipe your feet before you come inside? Every year you put footprints all through my house. Wow, he had dirty feet, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:01:26 Yeah, he does. Yeah, Meg. Meg's Easter Meg. Dan needs an apology. Do an apology to Body Effects. It's very good. Devonport chocolate. Oh, look, it is very good.
Starting point is 00:01:36 I still stand by the fact it doesn't look much like you, Meg, but I think it's the skin colour that needs it. Okay, do you know what we should do this morning? Oh, but I don't want people to know it's a, like a radio bit. I would like to ask random people in the office
Starting point is 00:01:51 who they think that is. And I think you would get a 10 out of 10 hit rate that people go, that's me, that's me. Or it depends who's asking. Good eyebrows, good eyebrows. If I go up to people
Starting point is 00:01:59 and go, who's this? They're going to go, oh, that's me. Yeah, I don't want to lead the witness by sending out an edge producer, but I'd love at some point during the show going, who is this? And I swear to God, you'll get a 100% hit rate.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Okay. I think you'll get 70% hit. Really? Yeah. What do you reckon, Meg? I, yeah, I don't know if, I mean, there's definitely enough. I think if you ask some people and they're like, they know that they know me and there's probably, if Clint's asking, they'll go, well, it's Meg.
Starting point is 00:02:24 But if you went out to the street, oh, they probably wouldn't know me and there's probably, if Clint's asking, they'll go, well, it's Meg. But if you went out to the street, oh, they probably wouldn't know who I am anyway. Yeah, that's hard. They'll be like, the edge. What's that? So in other words, no. We just needed a yes or no answer. Yeah, sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Going into a horrific weekend. We will do a bit of a weather watch coming up at 7.30 this morning. Get a bit of an update as to how bad it is. Is the worst of it past though? I thought that Auckland was done.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I was hoping so for the long weekend, but then I heard there was like this Tam cyclone. Tam, like short for Tammy? Has Tam already been though? Well, to be honest, I think it was supposed to hit sort of the north, upper North Island, Auckland area last night, but I think the rest of the country maybe is going down.
Starting point is 00:03:03 But I mean, if it hit us last night, I didn't hear anything. Sorry. And even the Harbour Bridge this morning in Auckland, everybody was saying that was going to be close. I drove over that like it was just a normal one. Was it down to 50? It was down to 50 yesterday. It was down to 50, but I...
Starting point is 00:03:17 Good for us, but I think Northland's been hit hard, Dan. I'm careful what you say. Yeah, that's sweet. Sweet for my house. Yeah, I'm heading north a little. There's 24,000 without power right now. Oh, wow, like, sweet for my house. Yeah, I'm heading north of the Lowe's. There's 24,000 without power right now. so there is people
Starting point is 00:03:27 without power. Oh, I still had it. Oh, well, hey guys, in the dark, I don't know how
Starting point is 00:03:33 you're listening to this, but maybe you've got like a battery-powered radio. Dan is sweet as. Dan's good. Dan's all good. He doesn't even know if it's cycling.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm willing to help, though, if you need it. Well, that's interesting,
Starting point is 00:03:44 because even Purchase a Car jumped on our work group chat and was like, guys, get. I'm willing to help, though, if you need it. Well, that's interesting, because even Producer Carl jumped on our work group chat and was like, guys, get your candles ready and work out where your batteries are. And I was like, what? What is he on about? And then 24,000 people probably would have liked
Starting point is 00:03:54 that message from our Producer Carl. Actually, I lie. I lie, actually. The barbecue cover blew off. Did it? Yeah. All right. Do you think that's the same,
Starting point is 00:04:02 the most powerful gust of wind that I think has ever been recorded since 2017 was hit? Well, I had it since 2016, that barbecue, and it's never blown off. Wow. Hey, going into the long weekend, hopefully, let us know, actually, flick us a text. Did you take the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday off?
Starting point is 00:04:19 Because we did. Yeah. Yeah, so then you get the 10 days between Anzac and Easter. I think you'll find a lot of people have. Like next week, I think it'll be a lot of quiet workplaces. I forgot to tell you guys something that happened to me over the weekend. My husband, you would have seen, did a half marathon in Christchurch. What was his time out of interest?
Starting point is 00:04:38 I'd love to know how he went. 2.18, 2 hours 18. Oh, that's good. I was really proud of him with that. He had chafing nipples and he went wheeze at one point. During, while he was running, that's probably why he chafed. Did he not tape up his nips? Oh, Daniel, it has been a real discussion in my household.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I have messages saying, guy, you need to plaster your nipples. Because, of course, we used to work with Dom who did marathons. And I remember that was where I learned, you plaster your nipples. 100%. And I was like, you need to do it. So I made him the night before go to a chemist warehouse
Starting point is 00:05:08 buy them and make sure that I was like okay he's going to do that and then in the morning he never put them on yeah no that's key and he got to the start line
Starting point is 00:05:14 and said oh I need to wee do you know what I've started doing everywhere I drive now I'm trying to work how many k's it is so I can see how far a guy ran
Starting point is 00:05:22 because I mean I know a lot of people maybe do half marathons or marathons and marathons. But I was over the shore in Auckland and then I was driving out west and I put on my GPS and it said 11K. And I was like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:05:32 So Guy in the weekend ran all the way to where I'm going, turned around and then ran all the way back. With chafing nipples. Honestly, 20Ks is a hike. It's really, really hard. Especially, I've done it twice and I've flown the middle part
Starting point is 00:05:44 where once you, the start you have this wind, you know, like kind of, oh yeah, I'm fine. You get to the middle and that's the hardest part because you've still got half of it to go. It's insane, right? It's a mind game. I was just so proud that one, he did it, and two, he ran the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And me being up in Auckland with my daughter Daisy, I didn't know what I could do for him. But his parents were down there with him too, which I'm so grateful for. So nice that he had support. Oh no, I saw him with a whole bunch of girls as well.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Oh yeah, he made a lot of girlfriends. There's a lot of four hollies. A lot of girl mates. I saw him in a photo with. Oh yes, they've all been chatting. And his mum,
Starting point is 00:06:17 mother-in-law told me we're going out to dinner at this place, a pub in Christchurch. I was like, great, that's what I'll do. Did all the girls go?
Starting point is 00:06:24 No, I think it was just the family. I think you met all the girls after the drinks. I rang the pub. Yeah, I bet it's four hot girls there. But not, are they? Tell them to piss off, would you? I'm his wife.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I rang them. I'm not looking at you guys because you're going to be so mad at me. I rang them three times over the afternoon to set up like a cheesecake for Guy to be delivered to the table like from Megan Daisy saying congratulations, thank you
Starting point is 00:06:49 are you anything to help them stop thinking about those for God's sake so I rang them three times and they got the third call I did feel that like yep we've got it Megan I just wanted to make sure oh no yeah but this is why Megan and I are over explainers
Starting point is 00:07:04 and organise things over and over and over because I can... You just make sure... I know, I already know where this is going. Really? What do you think happened? I don't think he does. Well, I was going to say, and then they didn't do it and they never got it and you were like,
Starting point is 00:07:16 why did I waste all my time? Oh, no, no. No, no, no, no. I think they were doing it. Guy ate his dinner and left straight away. Like, he paid. He left so quickly. They were tall his dinner and left straight away. Like, he paid. He left so quickly. They were tallied up and left,
Starting point is 00:07:27 and then they would have had an old brim beard. He wanted to catch up with the girls. And he never even got it. He did, right? He did catch up with the girls. He's like, I've got four girls waiting for me in a hotel room. I'll get the cheesecake. What about the cheesecake?
Starting point is 00:07:40 You eat it. I couldn't believe it. He said, I'm on my way to the airport. I said, what do you mean? What do you mean you're on the way
Starting point is 00:07:48 to the airport? You must be walking pretty slow. You'd be full of cheesecake. And I said, did you leave right away? And he was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:07:54 we're in a rush so I just left as soon as I'd finished my last mouthful. I like, went out of there. I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:08:00 for God's sake. I had a cheesecake for you. I had a cheesecake with like, from Megan Daisy. Congratulations. Like, Robbins wanted it written. Oh, God. And sake. I had a cheesecake for you. I had a cheesecake with like, from Megan Daisy, congratulations. Like, Robbins wanted it written. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:08:08 So you paid for it. No, they wouldn't let me pay. Thank God, because I was going to get mum to pay and then I was going to pay her back because that's why I kept ringing. I was like, you sure I can't pay over the phone? It was so annoying. And then, lo and behold, he just left.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So, sorry, Pegasus Arms and Christchurch. That would have been a real bitch from me. How was his night with Starlet? Yeah, Starlet, Starlet, Stacey, Laura. Rainbow, Starlet, Candy. The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast. Hey, we have an Easter Meg. Only two of them.
Starting point is 00:08:38 It's actually a chocolate mould of Meg's face. It's amazing. Money can't buy these, eh? No, they can't. I can't even get my hands on one. Yeah, Devonport Chocolate created it all after they were given the mould from Body Effects. If you would like to get one and you think you are...
Starting point is 00:08:55 Yeah, how are we giving these away? ...a Meg-spert, an expert when it comes to knowing things about our Meg, we're going to put two superfans of our Meg head-to-head to win Meg's head at seven. Oh, that's good. That means I'm going to end up taking one home because we're going to get no callers. So that's fabulous.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I was just going to say, does Meg have a super fan? No, no, no. Let alone two. Two. To go head-to-head. Two. If you listen to a lot of the show and you back yourself knowing quite a bit about Meg and things that have happened
Starting point is 00:09:22 on the show, you could be winning Meg's head in chocolate form. Can we have a bite, Evan? Guys, this is going to be really, this is like me launching a book and then nobody shows up. It's going to be so embarrassing. Worst nightmare. Imagine that. Meg, that is something that Dan and I are prepared to have happen. Clint, Meg and Dan
Starting point is 00:09:40 scandal. I'd be first in line at the signing just so I could be like, he's the only one who's going to sign me. And they'll go, Dan, just walk in. They'll go, oh no, I'm not here to, I just want to watch. I just want to watch. They're like, yeah, no one's here. No, no, that's what I'm watching. I'm watching no one turn up. Alright, alright, what do we think?
Starting point is 00:09:56 Lorde has said her single, it's called What Was That? When is it out? I've got, who was it? What was that? So you guess each, and then we'll get into it. So can we give a ballpark or do we give an exact date? Whatever you want to do. What were her words?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Knowing Lorde, she hasn't tailored it to New Zealand. She's tailored it to worldwide because she doesn't give an F about us. I reckon she's gone, it's like happening in the fall or something, you know, like. Okay, in the fall. And she's given us a season. Like American season. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:28 What's the next season in America now? It's going to be going into summer. So we're doing autumn before winter, right? Yeah, they're in spring. So we're in autumn, they're in spring, yeah. I reckon she's gone, it's coming out summer. Even though she doesn't talk like that. Clint.
Starting point is 00:10:42 No, the fact that Meg was quite cagey, I think she's, I'd be so stupid to talk about something that's coming out in 2026 in April. Nah, she's doing it this year. She's already started PR. It'll be sometime this year, surely. I think it'll be like
Starting point is 00:10:59 late this year. Like late this year. I think October, November. So she's said coming out late this year? Yeah. Those are her words? Okay. She's been very cagey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Because that could be any time from the after the year. Lord has said. Actually, drum roll. Okay. She's blowing it out as long as Lord is. Her single, What Was That? is out soon. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:26 That's off. So Clint's probably closer because soon could be next year. Soon, soon. No, no, what is the window? Could be tomorrow. What's soon? Okay, let's do a whip around. What is soon?
Starting point is 00:11:39 Soon to me. If someone goes, oh yeah, I'll give it to you soon. By the end of the month. That's what I was going to say. So I say two weeks. You've got two weeks. Let's hope that's the case. Okay, Patricia Carl, you keep saying that you want me to come around and help you probably
Starting point is 00:11:51 with some manly stuff like helping build your deck. And I say, yeah, I'll be around soon. Yeah. If you're saying you're going to help me build a deck, I'd be like, that's today soon. Okay, today. It depends on the thing. If you said you were coming around to mine soon, I'd go, oh, he's here in an hour.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah. Or if you go, I'm releasing something soon, that could be any time between now and six months away. Oh, no, six months is not soon. Yeah, surely two weeks. Surely. When does soon become ages? Yeah, if you go, I'm going on a holiday soon,
Starting point is 00:12:20 I would expect three months. Imagine if she'd gone. It's coming out ages away though. Don't worry. I'd sort of stop thinking about it. I think soon-ish feels like four months. Soon-ish is in the middle. Three, four months. Okay, so soon...
Starting point is 00:12:36 Let's take some calls on this. Really? Okay. I'm locking in soon as within two weeks. I say within the end of the month. That's what I said first. I literally said within the end of the month. Clint, you just, that's what I said first. I literally said within the end of the month if you'll take it. So Meg and I agree, we've got two for two weeks. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:52 What do you think is soon? I know you're right, Dan, and it probably depends on what the thing is, but let's say if I go, ooh, I'm releasing music soon. Okay. That's this example. I'm going to stop you there, Clint. I'm going to say by the end of the month.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Okay. Shut up! That's a good idea. That's a nice place to start, Dan. Yeah, okay. Producer Neats, you're a musician. If you had new music and you were like, oh, we're going to release it soon,
Starting point is 00:13:14 what is the maximum window that you would... So we are releasing new music soon, within the next three or four months, I'd imagine. Oh, for Pete's sake! You've got to do the build-up. If you don't do the build-up, you won't get streams. That is soon-ish. Especially soon-ish.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Okay, we're releasing it soon-ish. Ah, as neeps. Working with Lorde. Oh! In which case... Okay, what is the expectation if someone says they're dropping music soon? I agree.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Let's see if we can kind of work out exactly, if we put our heads together, when she drops and see how close we are to when it actually comes out. Well, Kent's just said he's releasing a poop soon. I think that's within the next hour. Hopefully that's not
Starting point is 00:13:51 by the end of the month either. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. And getting to know everyone that listens to our show nice and early, we appreciate those that tune in
Starting point is 00:14:00 and choose us first between six and seven. I can't get, get, get to know, know, know you better, better, baby. I want to get to know you. Tune in and choose us first between six and seven. Get to know Dave. Oh, my gosh. We managed to get Dave.
Starting point is 00:14:13 He's the truck driver. He drives a Hilux when he's on the truck. He's single, Aquarius. He's got a cat called Chico that he lives with, and he does log trucking. Oh, good morning, Dave. A proper truck driver. Morning, Dave.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Morning, mate. Now, let me guess just quickly before proper truck driver. Morning, Dave. Morning, mate. Now, let me guess just quickly before we go on. He drives a Hilux. Let me guess what sort of truck he's in. I'm going to go, it's a logging truck, so you're going to have to have a big engine. I'm going to go, it's either a Scania or a Kenworth. It's a Kenworth.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Oh, yes, come on. Well done, Dave. Is this the first time we've ever spoken to you, your first time caller? Yes, I am. Yeah, come on. Well done, Dave. Is this the first time we've ever spoken to you, your first time caller? Yes, I am. Yeah, it is. For the first time in forever. Hello, stranger. For the first time.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Playing like Frozen Elsa to Dave, who's a logging truck driver. Yes. I don't have a Harley, but I do have a 650 sports bike. I don't know what that means, but it sounds exactly... You could be one of the coolest listeners we've ever spoken to. And you'd like me. That's great. That's not what I expected.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Nice. I wouldn't expect a long driver to think... You're always so nice, though. You're always so nice, Meg. So who couldn't like you? Oh, thanks, Dave. I appreciate that. Dan wouldn't say that about me.
Starting point is 00:15:23 No, you'd be in the same studio with her. Then you'll find out. All right, what should we ask about Dave? Okay, he's never called the edge before. Okay, I've got an idea. Oh, yeah? What is his, because it sounds like he's like a manly man, drives bikes and logging trucks and stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:40 What is his guilty music pleasure? Like the artist where he's turning it up loud in the truck, but then when he pulls up to the side, he quickly winds up the windows and turns it down. Okay. Because it's a guilty pleasure musical. Oh, I like that. Okay, so you don't answer yet, Dave.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Oh, wait, wait, don't answer yet, Dave, because we're going to answer for you. We'll guess, and you have to guess who, or you have to say who's the closest. Okay, if he thinks I'm cool, then maybe he's similar to my husband, and my husband's guilty pleasure is Ariana Grande, Dangerous Woman. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:07 So that's my Batman. Oh, you like little Ariana Grande? Little Ariana. Little old school Ari. Okay, so Meg's gone. Blastiness in the long drive. I'm going to go with something pretty old school. I'm also going with female.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I'm going to go with something pretty old school. I'm also going in female. I'm going to go with sheer. And he's just cranking this on the long truck. I tell you what, Dave. If you like this, you and I need to hang out. I?
Starting point is 00:16:38 You and you? Old school, Dan. Yeah, I'm going to go sort of medium school. And I think that I'm similar lines to Clint, but I think Dave loves a power ballad, and he loves a bit of Celine Dion, The Power of Love.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Okay. Yeah, but anything sort of Celine Dion that's a really good driving song. He's got the logs on the back. He's just driving along. Okay, Dan and I are sitting in a similar space, so I feel like me could get the point here, because anything modern will win.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Listen to this, Dave. You're driving down the road. Stay high. One log on the back. You are my friend. Sorry, no. Oh, okay. He dands out instantly so it's between Cher and Ariana Grande. Dave, guilty pleasure. Bye. Y'all have to tie it.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Tie? It's a tie. Nobody's ever said a tie. No, nobody's ever told us weall have to tie it. Tie? It's a tie. Nobody's ever said a tie. No, nobody's ever told us we could have a tie before. Okay, what is actually a guilty pleasure that you would play in the truck that most people wouldn't know about? So, all right, I've got my favourite one would be, let me think of it, it's Cowboy Casanova.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Oh. Cowboy Casanova. Is that Chapel? No. No. No, that's, no, it's. Carrie Underwood. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Yes, that's it. Okay, then Country. So who's more Country? I would say it's more modern, which I'd sort of lean towards me. Hey, hey, hey, hey, Dave already said it was a draw. Yeah. Dave, thank you so much for playing. We're going to send you out a voucher to Zed.
Starting point is 00:18:10 No, that was fun. Yeah, thank you, man. Appreciate you two listening to us. He's like, actually, you guys are my guilty pleasure. I don't tell anyone I listen to you guys. When I opened the window, I switched over to The Rock. Yeah. If you're craving both a cheeseburger and a pie,
Starting point is 00:18:25 don't you ever want anyone else, easy as, thanks to Zedd's new cheeseburger pie. Only $6.90. We'll send you a voucher. You can smash a few of those if you like, Dave. I mean, that song from Cher, you'd be pretty un-no not to like that. Like, if you could play this,
Starting point is 00:18:41 not many people wouldn't like that song. Wouldn't tap a little foot. Oh, God, yeah. What's not to like? And the Kenworth? Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boot. Normally we do this on Friday, but being a short week and us away tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:18:53 we thought it'd be nice to look back on the short week that has been with hopefully the best bits, at least according to our producer, Neeps. We ready, team? Yeah, love this. All right, let's find out who comes out on top and who doesn't. The Producer's Diary. Morena, a short week in another Producer Diaries with Producer Neep here, or as Meg likes to call me
Starting point is 00:19:11 Prusneeper. That's Prusneeper. Absolutely perfect. Let's get into it. It's a short week and there's no one more excited for Easter than our very own Meg Mantle. I love hot crisp buns. I love hot crisp buns. I love hot crisp buns. In fact, Meg loves Easter so much, we decided to make her some Easter Megs.
Starting point is 00:19:27 However, we did have our concerns about how these were being made. What kind of chocolate would you like, Meg? I think I like a dark... Oh, not too dark if we're doing just the face. Oh yeah, I think you should go probably white chocolate. I mean, it depends. I don't know how much chocolate they've got, that's all.
Starting point is 00:19:45 What do you mean? I'm just saying, if they want to do the whole body, then they're going to have to have more chocolate, aren't they? Brilliant save, Dan. While the team are off enjoying their Easter break, they're going to be practising hard for the brand new Edge Breakfast band. We caught up with Mitch James this week to chat about his last ever show of his music career,
Starting point is 00:20:02 and I think he might regret saying this to us. I haven't booked an opener. just saying just saying you know if we really want to make me look good i'm i'm pretty down right quick round the room clint give us a guitar solo meg on the drums and an original song from Dan as well. Sing it with me now. This week on the show, we also chatted about how to get free stuff. And Jackie had a very interesting way of getting a free haircut. But anyway, it got really out of hand. The manager came, the cops got called, and we sorted it all out.
Starting point is 00:20:51 As I was leaving, I turned around and said to the guy, you're going to die, and they fucking arrested me. You're going to die? Okay. Yeah. Wow. So I got arrested for threatening to kill. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Well, I mean, to be fair, Jackie, you did say you're going to die. Well, I don't know how that could be interpreted differently. I don't want to go up against you, Jackie, if I'm being honest. Probably won't be trying that technique anytime soon. Last week, I said we hit
Starting point is 00:21:17 an all-new low on the show when Dad said this. Why don't we just notch this one up as a fail? We'll move on and let's promise that we'll be better after this. Hard to be worse.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Well, it turns out we lied. We can go lower. The thing I've discovered this morning is this has been the most pointless piece of shit thing we've ever done in my life. And we almost killed Dan too. Why has someone not put me in the recovery position? I could have literally been knocked out there. No one even came to check me.
Starting point is 00:21:42 You just wanted a bit of mouth-to-mouth action with your hot new producer, didn't you, Dan? And that is your producer diaries for this week. Happy Easter. Don't eat too much chocolate, unless it's your Easter Meg. I wish I could have one of those. Thank you, producer Nath. Very well done.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Speaking of the Easter Meg, we're actually going to give that away next. First song out of seven. So if you are a Meg-spert and you think you know more about our Megs than most, we'll put you head to head with someone else and the winner will win Meg's head created in chocolate. Don't eat it all at once, though.
Starting point is 00:22:12 No, it's quite decadent, isn't it? Rich. Beautiful looking. Come on. Clint, Meg and Dan. We have only two Easter Megs, Meg's face, created in chocolate. Also, I think your cleavage.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I think it's a little bit of cleave. Does it touch your cleave? Yeah. Does it touch your cleave in there? Yeah. It doesn't do it justice, in my opinion, Meg. I think they should have... My whole face or the cleavage?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Well, the cleavage. Yeah. I think your face is beautiful. Well, it's tasteful. They're not going to do the whole... You know, it's not an R-rated thing. It's not an erotic egg. Oh, isn't it okay?
Starting point is 00:22:42 They've done it well. Yeah. They've done it well. Body effects, thank you so much for making the mould. Off Meg's photos, by the way. We didn't actually get to use Meg's face at all. And then Devonport Chocolate made two of them. You can win one right now if you are a Meg-spert.
Starting point is 00:22:55 It almost looks too good to eat. She's nailed my eyebrows. Yeah. Okay. We are going to be introduced to a couple of Mega Meg fans. Okay. Mega Meg fans. One. Mega Meg fans. One of them's Peter.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Morning, Peter. Hey, Pete. Good morning, guys. How's it going? Good. So you're a self-confessed Mega Meg fan? Yep, I am. I love Meg.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Partner loves Meg. Long-time listener. I don't know about my attention to detail, but I'm going to give it a red hot. Okay. Good on you, Peter. Okay, well, Peter has said he's pretty good with his Megology. So let's see how that goes up
Starting point is 00:23:28 against Amber this morning. Alright, Amber's up next. Hey, Amber. Hi, how are you guys? Good. Now, Amber, it says here that you've listened to every podcast and OnlyFans. You think you know Meg better than she knows herself. That is a big call. Yeah, I've listened since I was
Starting point is 00:23:44 super young, just when Meg came on, I've listened since I was super young, just when Meg came on, so I'm hoping I can remember everything. Okay. We can do this then. It's Amber versus Peter. How is this going to go, boys, in the way of like... One for one.
Starting point is 00:23:52 You're going to get three questions each. Whoever gets the most questions out of three wins. If it is a tiebreaker, we'll go to one final question where the fastest to answer wins. Here we go. Okay, we'll start with Pete. In which popular segment... popular inverted commas, sad to me,
Starting point is 00:24:10 did Meg's alien noise... Come from? Which popular segment? I would say it is popular. It's a tricky one. What was the segment we do weekly where Meg made that noise? Spoken at this recently. It's a hard question to start with.
Starting point is 00:24:31 The boys are involved in this segment too. I don't know. I can't remember. No, that was, we needed men writing women or men writing erotic fiction for women. Okay. Okay. Not off to a good start.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Okay, let's go over to Amber. Amber, which Australian celebrity made Meg bark like a dog after a steamy photo shoot? Was it Robert Irwin? It was. Yes, it was. Correct. That was an easy guess in the way that anybody could have. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:01 One point to Amber, zero to Peter. Okay. Right, okay. Peter. If you've been listening the last couple of days, this should be a sitter for you. Peter, what instrument is Meg playing in our band that has yet to be named? Drum.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Yes! Well done. He's on the board, good. He's tied it up. Come on. Amber. This song... Doing a Meg.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Doing a Meg. References Meg. Doing a Meg. References Meg. Doing a Meg. What is doing a Meg? Oh, and Amber, I want the Meg answer, not the boys' answer. Ooh. I don't know the Meg answer. I do know.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yes? I do know that it's when you pooed the bed. Oh, no, it's pooed the bed. Doing a Meg. That is my answer. Doing a Meg. I just don't like it when it's just like when you just, it's poo the bed. Doing a mag. That is my answer. Doing a mag. I just don't like it when it's just like when you just poo yourself. Doing a mag, doing a mag, doing a mag.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Pooing the bed, pooing the bed, pooing the bed. Doing a mag, pooing the bed, doing a mag, pooing the bed. Do you know what? We've played that for maybe five years now. And it never gets old. Next question. Okay, now here's where we're at. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:26:09 This is question three for you, Peter. If you don't get this right, then you can't actually catch Amber, who's already on two points. So you need this to put it back on her. It's a must win. Okay, no pressure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:23 What was the other question we discussed over here? Oh, Clint Smith. That's right. Okay. When Meg went on the Taylor Swift Errors Tour, she had what discovered in her suitcase the day that she was leaving? Come on, Pete. Oh, I didn't know this.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Can I go through her bag and found some items and Meg was horrified. And I didn't pack them. Somebody I? Anne went through her bag and found some items, and Meg was horrified. And I didn't pack them. Somebody else did. There was three of them. I'd argue you only need to take one on a trip. And I didn't pack them. Somebody else did, thinking they were very funny. Come on.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Come on, Peter. Okay, Pete. You can do this. To stay in the game, otherwise Amber wins the Easter Meg. I need an answer in three, two, one. No, I'm blanking out. Damn. Amber, do you know?
Starting point is 00:27:09 What? She's got three. I think I know, but I'm scared to say it on the radio if that's not what it is. That's the answer. That's probably it. What? She's got three. No.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Meg. My husband. My husband. She's got an SP2. No! Oh, my God, I can't believe I just touched them. I pulled them out for the cameras. My husband's a dead man.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. He packed three adult toys in the suitcase. Well, commiserations for Pete and a congratulations for Amber. You can't catch her from there. She wins only one of two Easter Megs ever created. Thank you guys, I'm stoked. Well done, Amber.
Starting point is 00:27:52 And commiserations, Pete. I'll tell you what I can do, Pete. For playing, I'm going to send you a double pass to our must-see movie called Sinners out in cinemas today. Probably better, Peter. Yes. Legend, thank you.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Well done, Amber. Thanks, Peter. You're very welcome. That was one of my favourite days, when we went through your bag. Really? What a joy. Again, why are we playing this again? I have done
Starting point is 00:28:15 other things than had six toys in a suitcase and shit a bed. That's my legacy, is it? Hopefully not. What else have you done? Oh, wait a second. Well, if you can't think of anything, we can. I'll think of something, I'll think of something. We can't.
Starting point is 00:28:30 We'll do that next, maybe. Give her songs, time to just maybe guess. I'll think of something. We want to do a bit of a brag bag long weekend edition. We used to do this a lot, and then it kind of got rested for a wee bit. We thought it'd be fun to bring back, especially considering a lot of people
Starting point is 00:28:46 are going to be taking those three days off in between Easter and Anzac. So for some people, it's like a 10-day holiday for the price of three. I also think as New Zealanders, we don't brag about our stuff enough. No, we don't.
Starting point is 00:28:58 That's how this segment started originally. It's the New Zealand way, isn't it, to kind of just talk yourself down and other people. But I think it's a good chance to just talk positively about yourself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:08 What are you guys doing then for the long weekend, brag bag edition? I was going to go mountain biking. Again. I am a mountain biker. There's a cyclone. I know,
Starting point is 00:29:17 and that's why it's kind of put a dampener on it. The track's really empty on like cyclone days. There is a track there, so there's a place, because I'm going down to Rotorua on the weekend, and I was going to take my bike down there
Starting point is 00:29:29 because there's a place called Redwoods in there, which is amazing. If you ever, like, there's tracks for all types of, you know, people, whether you're a beginner or you're an expert. Is that where they have the bridge and all the lights and stuff all up in the trees? That's another part of it, yeah. You can do, like, a tree walk. And you all up in the trees? That's another part of it, yeah. You can do like a tree walk.
Starting point is 00:29:45 And you did hear me before saying that there's the part of the highway to Rotorua is closed because of a tree. But that's because of a tree's fallen down. I'd argue if they haven't got that fixed by the end of tomorrow, because that's when I'm heading down, something's wrong. They haven't removed the tree from the road. So yeah, that's what I'm doing. I've got my birthday coming up, so I thought I'd spend a long weekend with family, so I put my mum and dad's place in Marsden Cove, just across from Roakaka.
Starting point is 00:30:10 So you're 21st, eh? 27. You are. Yeah. And so we were going to do some lawn bowls on the Saturday, and I was looking forward to doing some day drinking and letting mum and dad just kind of look after the kids. Lawn bowls? You're definitely not 27 then. And then, no, I feel like you have to be in your 20s or in your 70s
Starting point is 00:30:31 if you're doing lawn bowls. Yeah, that's fair. But, yeah, the weather may also put a dampener on that, but I was looking forward to doing a bit of the family vibe and, you know, smashing a few tins in the middle of the day. Yeah. I am leaning into the weather, staying home. And I'm just going to do,
Starting point is 00:30:49 I think we're just going to be a big weekend of me, my husband and my daughter, like, baking and eating and snuggling on the couch and doing colouring competitions. And drumming, I hope. Oh, God, Dan, I will be drumming. Yes, it's all set up in my bedroom. It's absolutely insane walking into my bedroom and seeing a drum set up.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I don't know. What is going on? We've started a band, the three of us. Because we're always like, I think a lot of friend groups kind of go, I wonder if we could start a band. Yeah, but they never actually try and do it. We're trying to be that friend group to see if things can happen like that. And we can kind of be like, we're your canary down the mine.
Starting point is 00:31:22 If we can do it, anyone can. Yeah, because if you're always like, man, I'd love to be in a band, then you realise what can and can't be achieved in six weeks with three people that don't have any musical talent. What about producers?
Starting point is 00:31:32 Is it actually worth going to any of the three of you? You guys doing anything fun for the long weekend? Oh yeah, I was going to, meant to be racing my new remote control boat,
Starting point is 00:31:40 but it's a bit cyclony out there, so I'm not, I'll have to change my plan. We're going really fast. Yeah, get a new PB on the lake. Yeah. Producer Neats?
Starting point is 00:31:48 Four-day bender. Whee! A difference. You flaked for five lads. Yeah. And we've got Bella. I am going to Taupo for a girls' weekend. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Is it a celebration in particular, or just the girls' one? Birthday. Is it yours? No. No, friends. Okay, good. When is your birthday?
Starting point is 00:32:07 25th of September. Don't forget it. Oh, okay. We'll forget that. It's miles away. I won't forget that, actually. It's the day after my wife. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Taupo's a lovely place. I always love going there for a little bit of a holiday. Yeah. Okay, what are your long weekend plans that you're fizzing at the bunghole about? Clint. Clint, that's disgusting. Oh, it's a saying. It's a saying that I think should have been left in the 2000s.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Yeah, I don't think anyone's said that for at least five years. Yeah. Well, you're not fizzing at the bunghole because you're staying home. Yeah, I'm definitely not fizzing at the bunghole. I'm excited, but there's no fizzing down my bunghole. Yeah, actually, I would get that checked if you're fizzing at the bunghole staying home for the long weekend. That's quite a dormant bunghole.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Clint, Meg and Dan. Who's fizzing at the bunghole for home for the long weekend? That's quite a dormant bunghole. Clint, Meg and Dan. Who's fizzing at the bunghole for the long weekend? Stop saying it. If you have nothing to do, I can tell you my family tradition that I obviously am not doing now, but I would be doing if I was in Wellington
Starting point is 00:32:53 with my family and not pregnant. Mum used to do an Easter egg hunt for the adults, but we would find limoncello shots around the yard and the house. And so, yeah, by the end of, by about 12, you'd be well on your way. we would find limoncello shots around the yard and the house.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And so, yeah, by about 12, you'd be well on your way. Right. And how old were you when this was happening? Oh, it's lower heart about 12. I'm kidding. Obviously about 18. Maybe 17. No, 18 would have been.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And, yeah, it was always a hell of a lot of fun because everyone got involved. Limoncello. I can't stand it. Too sour for me. Doesn't it sound so nice? Yeah, it was always a hell of a lot of fun because everyone got involved. Limoncello, I can't stand it. Too sour for me. Doesn't it sound so nice? Yeah, it does sound nice. A lot of checks coming through for Brag Bag, people doing stuff this weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:31 We missed the Big Bang a couple of weeks ago, so we're doing long distance, but my partner is coming up and we're celebrating the Big Bang this weekend. Oh, wow. Get in. Can't wait. And then out.
Starting point is 00:33:42 And then in. Someone else has texted through saying, I'm training for my PPR, which I think is private pilot's license. And on Saturday, I'm doing my first solo flight. Oh my God. Or maybe not in this weather. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Or this weekend for a solo. Pump the brakes on that one. Maybe a little rain check. Yeah. Nice crosswind landing. Yeah. And this person, I'm adopted. And I'm meeting my biological mum this weekend
Starting point is 00:34:04 for the first time. She's flying from Scotland as we speak. Oh, that's so cool. Wow. Oh, gosh, that's so exciting and so nerve-wracking. Oh, my God, yeah. What do you do? Like, where do you meet?
Starting point is 00:34:12 What do you do? How do you act? Bowling? You'd be expecting so much. Bowling? Probably not bowling, but you need an activity, so you're not just sitting there, and then you go, hey, so you adopted me out.
Starting point is 00:34:24 So what was the deal with that? And they go, yeah, sorry, I'll answer that. It's my turn now. Yeah, you just drop in with a bombshell question being like, like whatever it may be
Starting point is 00:34:33 and then you go and walk up and bowl so you give mum some, you know, chance. I would say don't listen to Clint. Yeah. I don't know. I don't go straight in with why do you adopt me out.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I think that's quite confronting to start off with. I mean, I suppose if you're adopted, if you're a glass half full person, you're actually kind of, you're quite blessed because you've got two families. If your biological family you get to meet later are awesome,
Starting point is 00:34:52 you've got two. That is true. Your adopted family and your biological one. I'd love to chat to you about it because I'd be so nervous. Because you're sort of, like that's a big person in your life that you're meeting for the first time.
Starting point is 00:35:03 You met a half sister once. No, I've never met. What? We've never met. Yeah. Oh, did she just text you asking for tickets to a concert and then that was it? Yeah. Well, no, there was a little bit of other chat around it.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Liv Tyler, just this morning, you know Liv Tyler, the actress from Lord of the Rings? She was the other one. She has opened up about how she found out that Stephen Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, was her dad. She was a pre-teens for about 11 or 12 and her mum took her to her Aerosmith concert and then Really? It's old daddy-o up there. There's your dad up there.
Starting point is 00:35:32 We'll take Zara from Tauranga. Morning babe, what are you up to this long weekend? Hi, I'm supposed to be going on a three hour road trip today to go see my grandparents with my cousins but I don't know if we're going now because of the weather.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Oh, but you know what? Your grandparents won't be around forever so you've got to take these opportunities to go out. Yeah, your grandparents fought in the war and stuff and you're not sure
Starting point is 00:35:54 if you can drive because it's a bit windy? Come on, your grandparents think you're a little soft. They're the ones that are actually saying not to come if the weather's too bad.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Yeah, well you do what you think's safe. Maybe they're the ones that texted about the Big Bang earlier. And they were, I don't know, and they're like, yeah, not this weekend, guys. Yeah, that was from a Margaret and Joe. Are they your grandparents' names? No, that's not, no.
Starting point is 00:36:21 What are your grandparents' names? Yeah, okay. We'll leave it on that. Yeah, yeah. Well, thanks, Sarah. You have a bloody good weekend. Exc not, no. What are you agreeing? Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. No, we'll leave that. Just as well. We'll leave it on that. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. Oh, thanks, Sarah. You have a bloody good weekend. Exciting, Paul.
Starting point is 00:36:28 He's just reminded me. Wellington is Armageddon this weekend. Taking the four and one-year-old for a wander in a little shop at the stores. The best. I love Armageddon. And weather like this, though, it's going to be crazy. Armageddon is always, always, always jam-packed,
Starting point is 00:36:41 let alone in wet weather. I can't even imagine it. It's nerd heaven, eh? Yeah, it's nerd heaven. It is nerd heaven. Is that where you can swap Pokemon cards and stuff? We can do it at Magic the Gathering cards. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. And our producer, Nipia, who's been on the show maybe a couple of months now, bro? Yeah, two or so months. I've been loving it. He's in our studio. He's got an idea for the show, and we were like, sure, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Will he step up to the plate and have a swing. Absolutely. So we had Stan Walker in yesterday and he spoke about his brand new song, Homage to New Zealand Music Awards and the story of the song is amazing. The journey of how Maori became the Maori we are today essentially with Hannah Rafferty who's
Starting point is 00:37:20 the politician I believe. Clint is also Maori and... politician, I believe. Clint is also Māori. Yeah, I mean, down my mum's side, I think I had just enough Māori to apply for a Māori Pacific Island scholarship at university. But it's probably something that in my younger years,
Starting point is 00:37:38 we didn't embrace as much. But I think having a lot of friends who are Māori now, I feel like... More connected, eh? Yeah. And I think your white friends go, oh, you're not Māori, whereas your Mā like... More connected, eh? Yeah, and it's like, and I think your white friends go, oh, you're not Māori, whereas your Māori friends are like,
Starting point is 00:37:48 it doesn't matter if you're like half Māori or one-thirty second, you've got Māori in you. That's the way that I think of that. And if you see yourself as Māori and if you practice being Māori, then, you know? And I think Stan Walker saw that as well yesterday. Yeah, 100%. Yeah, I remember asking, I was like,
Starting point is 00:38:04 how do you know that it's going to happen per se with a hongi? And Clint had the perfect explanation. He just said, it's all in the eyes, which he's dead right about.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yeah, because we hongied when he left and then you, Meg, and Dan had this reaction. I just didn't know that you would do a hongi
Starting point is 00:38:24 with sandwiches. Really, obviously, cool, but I was just kind of confused. Clint just went in straight for a hongi and nailed it. I must say, it was a great hongi. And so this has inspired something in me, in the hongi eyes, if you will. Ready to play? Yeah, play it. Hongi eyes
Starting point is 00:38:47 Stan looked at me and I knew it was right with those Hongi eyes You can just see it's in their eyes. How do you know? Yeah, that it's happening.
Starting point is 00:38:59 It's a bit more of like an intense look into their eyes and they look at you and you go, oh, we're going to Hongi here. Hongi eyes. Oh, wow. Is this a thing?
Starting point is 00:39:07 Yep. Is it? 100%. Really? 100%. That's so good. So someone, very well voiced. So you can just look at someone and you know, like, I wouldn't be able to do it. I think Dan would go in for a kiss.
Starting point is 00:39:21 I don't know how to read those kind of eyes. That's always the argument when I play when I go home as well. Is my auntie going for a kiss or is she going for a hongi? Oh, yeah. You never know with auntie. Exactly. And it's 50-50 and it's all in the eyes. You've got to make direct eye contact and you know if those are hongi eyes.
Starting point is 00:39:36 How different are her hongi eyes to her kissing eyes? That's my question. Oh, not so different. Yeah, it's sad. I don't think I'm going to be able to hear that song like the same anymore. One more time? Yeah, one more time. Great voice, by the way.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Very, very good. Very, very good. The first thing to bring to the show, Producer Nipia. I thought I had to get in on the parodies as well. Do you want to try it, Meg? Yeah, Meg, have a try. Go. Singing it?
Starting point is 00:40:13 No, I'm not singing it. Do you want to do a Hongie? I've done Hongies before. But has she done Hongie eyes? Yeah, that's the question. I'm just going to go in there, Producer Nips. Is it in the eyes? Well, the removing of the hat is also a very good giveaway. That's another dead giveaway.
Starting point is 00:40:31 If someone's wearing a hat and they take it off, they're going for more than just a check. I think your husband Guy would say those would be your bedroom eyes. I've got to really clear that up before I have quite a similar look. Supposedly the weather around the country over the long weekend is meant to be awful. We're going to find out if that is true or not with Phil Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz.
Starting point is 00:40:51 He's obsessed with weather and he is the guy that all of his friends, I imagine, text being like, should we go out on the boat for a fish tomorrow or is it not looking good? Morning, Phil. Good morning. They're so weird. That's literally what's happening to me for Saturday.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Yeah. Weekends like this must be like your Super Bowl. You love weekends like this. Yeah, I mean, it's exciting. I mean, you sort of do get excited because you don't see these storms very often. But on the other hand, you sort of realise it's tempered down by realising that people's plans are cancelled and the roads are cancelled and they'll blame you if you tell them not to go away. So it's kind of like, it's a bit of two worlds.
Starting point is 00:41:26 It's funny, eh, with weather people. I've never had my mum be so opinionated about weather people who are like, they always get it wrong. They always get it wrong.
Starting point is 00:41:35 But when you guys get it right, nobody goes, oh, get on those weather people. Yeah, and I mean, are you, do you have a partner? Are you married, Phil? Because I imagine like
Starting point is 00:41:44 dating's hard when they ask you what you do and you start bringing up the weather, which isn't a great conversation starter typically. I'm divorced, so does that tell you anything? Oh, not looking good, Phil. Part of that I blame on a storm when we were camping and I insisted, no, no, it'll be nothing, and then it rained for like five days. And that was the end of it.
Starting point is 00:42:05 You're supposed to know, Phil! Yeah, not good, not good. So what's it looking like for this weekend? Because we know it's been pretty crappy so far over the last couple of days. Is that set to continue into the weekend for most of the country? It is here and there. Not for everybody. But we've got this really windy weather.
Starting point is 00:42:20 It's what we call a squash zone. It's in between the halfway mark between a big storm and a big area of high pressure, which is over the South Island and the Chatham Islands. And so that's why you've got these windy nor'easters in Northland and Auckland, and it just won't stop. Got another day of that to go through today before it moves further down the North Island and falls apart.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And then you've got the rain. The rain's moving down today. It's not looking as bad to me as it was yesterday for some places. That's good news. So there's some good news. It's not looking as bad to me as it was yesterday for some places. That's good news. So there's some good news. But it's messy. And so as we go through the next few days, the storm that's come down out in the Tasman Sea now,
Starting point is 00:42:53 that kind of sits there for a few days. It's at its strongest today, and then it gradually falls apart over the next four or five days. But the setup we've got is basically not changing as far as the high pressure zone out to the east and the big low to the west and New Zealand stuck in the middle. And it's like that for the whole weekend, even though the weather is slowly sort of falling apart for most places over the next few days.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Okay, where would you say, Philip, is the best place to be over the long weekend and where's the worst place to be weather-wise? I've got two best places. You could have a few, but one of them would probably be Hawke's Bay or at least sort of
Starting point is 00:43:31 Hawke's Bay, Manawatu area. That's a little bit windy today. And the other one would probably be the lower South Island, a place like South London, a central Otago.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Not necessarily sunny, but not as windy and not as wet. Okay, where do you definitely not want to be over the long weekend? Yeah, that's good. Well, I would say at this stage, it looks as though parts of Bay of Plenty East Cape area
Starting point is 00:43:51 could be very exposed to some of the heaviest rain. Coromandel Peninsula's got heavy rain coming through today, so does Northland, the Northland. But that rain is hopefully going to kind of break up a bit more. But Coromandel Peninsula, the eastern side of Northland, but to me, Bay of Plenty, East Cape, probably the main sort of area that's likely to see prolonged rain or the rain actually coming back again
Starting point is 00:44:13 as we get sort of at the end of the long weekend, might return again. So if you're in Bay of Plenty, especially the eastern side, keep up to date with what's going on. When does the sun come back out for most of us? If I'm doing an outdoor Easter egg hunt one day, what day should I do it? How long do we have to just hold on for?
Starting point is 00:44:28 The sun should be, I think the sun will come out during Saturday, Sunday, so some areas. There might be some showers. Could be some heavy with thunder around as well this weekend. Could be, maybe. Philip, it's time to sign with your ex-wife here. Yeah, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I give a lot of politicians answers, by the way. Yeah. We say, oh, it's not too bad, but watch out for the big thunderstorms. I think weather's a science, but it's not an exact science. That's what you'd say, eh? I've watched so many of Philip's videos
Starting point is 00:45:00 on weatherwatch.co.nz. Really? Phil, I was obsessed with you when we had the rain fall. The website must have just blown up around that time. Yeah, oh God, yeah. I know everything about you. No wonder his marriage broke up.
Starting point is 00:45:13 We've got women like Meg sliding into his DMs. The wife saw all the DMs from Meg. Yeah. Hey, Phil, love you. Thank you so much for your time, man, and breaking it down for us. Really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Weatherwatch.co.nz. Yeah, that's your go-to place. Philip, man, thank you so much for your time, man, and breaking it down for us. Really appreciate it. Weatherwatch.co.nz. Yeah, that's your go-to place. Philip, man, thank you so much. My pleasure, guys. Have a great long weekend. Yeah, I'm trying. Well, somebody else who is going to be in our band is with Gil Beller.
Starting point is 00:45:39 We heard she plays keys, so we were like, do you have any experience? She's like, yes. We're like, fine, you're on. You're hired. That's it. I saw your skills yesterday as well because we went to a music store and you played on one of their grand pianos oh you were good oh thanks dan yeah yeah we're unsure still
Starting point is 00:45:53 how good but because we don't know if you're just one of those people that rehearses one song over and over or if your knowledge goes beyond the memory of that song what's in your repertoire how many songs okay not, not many. But. If any. But you can read music. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I can read music and I'll learn a song.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Okay, you're in. You're the only one that can read music. Why are you in neeps? Okay, let's get to the Gen Z quiz. You get a perfect score five from five. Then you never have to play again. If you're aged between, like, 29 and 44, that's a millennial, you should ace this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:21 If you're outside and if you're a Gen X, I still think you should do pretty well. Yeah, you can text in your answers as well if you think you know them before ballet. Here's your first question. Easy one to start. Who sings this song? I'll stash you to the chorus.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Do I get the chorus? Okay. The face isn't looking... Sounds familiar. It sounds familiar, but I'm just trying to think of a Kiwi artist in the jar. You've got to put a name in.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Okay, it could not be a Kiwi artist. Oh. Well, it could be, but I'm not going to give you any clues. Yeah, I don't know why. Oh, and I'm leaning
Starting point is 00:46:59 towards Rod Stewart. She goes, oh, not a Kiwi artist, must be Rod. Okay. Have you heard of him? Yes. Yeah. He was in... She goes Oh not a Kiwi artist Must be Rod Ronan Keating Have you heard of him? Yes Yeah
Starting point is 00:47:07 He was in Boyzone I think one of the worst Boy bands of all time Like I mean If you put all the boy bands Yeah I'd put Boyzone Right down the bottom
Starting point is 00:47:16 Lower than five Definitely How dare you What's your mouth out Really Oh god Top three Is five
Starting point is 00:47:24 What is wrong with the man? Jesus, Deb. You can't even bother me if you think that. Okay. This millennial chat is crazy. Okay, name this TV show, Bella. Okay, good luck. To the help of who's saying hello.
Starting point is 00:47:43 It's a rare condition, this day and age. To read any good news. Would it help if we sang along? Yeah. Now, to be fair, Bella, on you, I didn't know this either. It was Clint and Meg that knew this one. Why did you think I was going to know it then? Okay, I'll give you a clue because this is tricky. Steve Urkel... Did I do that? ...started his career on this TV show. It's like some family sitcom type thing.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Ding, ding, ding. Okay. But what's the name? How I Met Your Mother. Oh. No. Family Matters. Family Matters.
Starting point is 00:48:10 I've never heard of it once. Family Matters. Okay. It's kind of like step by step. It's kind of like that. Even I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:48:16 God. This is a soundtrack to what movie? I don't know this one. You'll kick yourself though when you hear the answer. It's a blockbuster. It's giving Titanic but I know it know this one. You'll kick yourself, though, when you hear the answer. It's a blockbuster. It's giving Titanic, but I know it's not Titanic.
Starting point is 00:48:29 You say that and then you look at our eyes. No one got it right, so I'm not so bad. Let's go, like, Star Wars, maybe. Brilliant. Top Gun. It's set in the sky of sorts, I guess. What's the Top Gun song? You should have given me that one.
Starting point is 00:48:42 This is the Top Gun. Danger Zone. Yeah, but this is when they're walking out and they're about to get in their plane. They redid Top Gun as well, and they reused all the music, so could have got that. This is a non-audio question.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Three guys and Big Fresh were types of what? Oh, yeah, three guys. Oh, supermarket chain. Yes! On the board. Big Fresh was the one you'd go on and they had. Yes. On the board. On the board. Big Fresh was the one you go on and they had animatronics on the roof. God, it was good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Three guys was pretty cheap. Grocers do I remember. See if you can get two points on the board. You've already got one. Name this TV show. Who are you going to be tonight, Gary? Well, tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be Freddie Mercury. Freddie Mercury.
Starting point is 00:49:24 A rock legend reborn as tonight's singing live Gary Ballen is Freddie Mercury! Da, da, da! The music might help. Yes. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Is it a TV show? Yes, and actually, I'll give you another clue.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Simon Barnett actually ended up hosting a New Zealand version of this years ago. It was before American Idol and stuff. Yeah, it was so good. It was such a great show. I know I want to say the voice, but I know it's... Tonight, Matthew, I'm going to be... a singer. Which would be the TV show...
Starting point is 00:50:03 Made in New Zealand. Stars in their eyes. Have you Okay, Stars in Their Eyes. Stars in Their Eyes. Have you heard of Stars in Their Eyes now? Now that you say it, a little bit, but like still. I think it's Queenstown. When I lived down there years ago, so it's probably finished now, they do their own Stars in Their Eyes, like community.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Epic. American Idol was my, that was my jam. Years later. Who's your favourite artist? Or who's an artist that you could sing if you were doing karaoke? What do you mean? Who's your favourite artist? Who do you like?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Musician, if you were doing karaoke. Karaoke queen. Is that an artist? No. Oh, queen. Oh, I thought you meant karaoke. So if you were like, yeah, so then you would like. Matthew, I'm going to be Freddie Mercury.
Starting point is 00:50:41 And then they would take you away, and then they would like dress you up exactly like the person and you just effectively do karaoke but it looked like the celebrity was singing the song
Starting point is 00:50:51 and the person wins if they sound like the singer they had their work cut out to make you look like Freddie Mercury Jesus bloody hell that poor makeup lady
Starting point is 00:50:58 when you walk into the thing she'd be like God how am I gonna do this moustache I remember I'll never forget there was an episode with a guy
Starting point is 00:51:03 who was the lead singer of R.E.M. And sorry, Dan's wrapping me up, so I won't go into that. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. We are putting together a band. Have you ever, growing up,
Starting point is 00:51:15 wanted to put together a band with you and your mates and you just wondered how hard that would be? Bands are just so cool. Everyone looks cool. Everyone is cool. And you go, how hard would that be? We're going to try and find out how far three friends can get
Starting point is 00:51:27 with six weeks' practice with instruments we've never played before because we spoke to Mitch James, and he was promoting his last ever show in Christchurch at the end of next month, I think it's May 24th. I'll have to double check with him. He's sitting on hold at the moment. He said this when he found out we had a band. I haven't booked an opener.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Just saying. That's exciting. If at the moment. He said this when he found out we had a band. I haven't booked an opener. Just saying. That's exciting. If we really want to make me look good, I'm pretty down. So he's looking for a stink act to follow, I think is what he meant there.
Starting point is 00:51:54 He's got the stinker sack there is. Oh, there's no stinker. And a lot of people accusing him of actually just letting us open so that we'll be promoting our show
Starting point is 00:52:01 and then in turn promoting his show and helping sell tickets. Morning, Mitch. I never said that. Yeah, we know. It's implied. We know. So are you still sticking to your word? Absolutely. So I've got
Starting point is 00:52:13 some homework for you guys. I'm going to start off with the very most novice classic songs of all time. Okay. I'll test this to see if we can do this. Okay. Pretty much. So, Meg, I mean you were drums, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:30 So, just play in time. Just like a simple kick snare. Okay. A simple kick snare for about 10 seconds and that's where we're going to start off with you. So, Meg's is kind of like a freestyle.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I'm exploring. Look, if she wants to. I'm more just looking for in-time drum beats rather than freestyling. I'm insulted. I'll give you more than that. If you just want a literal simple drum beat, I'll give it to you now.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Thank you very much, Mitch Jane. I will also then do a little fill for you and then go back to my little simple... You'll see. God, she's coming cocky, eh? She only went in her drum kit hair. Can we save that audio of what Meg has promised before going into the long weekend, please?
Starting point is 00:53:14 Absolutely. Please lock that in because I'm not sure about the capabilities there, Meg, but hey, you sound very confident, but I don't know, we'll see again. Oh, good. I love... That's my best way of pressurising myself is when somebody thinks I can't do something.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Okay. Okay, what about Dan? Okay. Okay, Dan, you're both guitar, weren't you? Yeah, the boys are. So I'm like a rhythm guitar, Clint's a lead guitar. I don't know what the difference is. Okay, so we all know Smoke on the Water, right?
Starting point is 00:53:40 Right, yes. Okay. There we go. Alright. So that is literally the easiest song in guitar history. Okay. So Dan, I'm going to give that one to you. Okay, Smoke on the Water.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Okay, right. Okay. Microneedling Clint, what I'm going to give to you is... What I'm going to give to you is... That's what we call him too. Smoke. What I'm going to give to you is smells like teen spirit, but not the riff. It's just, you know, at the start where it's like... Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Oh, here we go. What's that? Oh, that would be you, man. That comes in there. Yeah, all the way. Yes. Okay. Okay, that sounds cool. I man. That man comes in there. Yeah, all the time, yes. Okay. Okay, that sounds cool.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I think only one of those foot pedals. It feels like the effect does most of the work in there. I'm happy with that. Thank you, Mitch. I'll tell you what's going to happen. No, no, no, sorry. Did you just hear that bit there? The...
Starting point is 00:54:35 Yeah. That's what I need from you. We're starting off very... Oh, he's just giving you two notes. I'm fine. It's all right. I'm going to play smooth on the water. Okay, I'll tell you what, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:54:47 You're going to come back after this break. The water's like five notes. Okay, so you're going to come back after this break, Mitch. You're going to hear mine, and there'll be no smoke on the water because you'll be blowing it all up my ass. That's how much you're going to love smoke on the water. All right, we'll see.
Starting point is 00:55:01 We'll see. I don't know if this man believes in us. I've been next up the hardest homework, but she's made it harder for herself. Okay. And while you're here, do you want to use any of your time to promote your ticket sales and your show in Christchurch or nah? Nah. Yeah, nah.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Hey, everyone, everyone, please buy my tickets. I don't know what else to say, but there's not going to be many of them, hopefully. So last show, it's going to be fun. It's going to be special. And there's going to be a really, really special opening. Yeah, we'll be there. If you don't sell any tickets.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Definition on special. We'll see. If you don't sell any tickets, you can just blame us. Absolutely. And I will be. Mitch, thank you, brother. You have a great long weekend. Love you guys.
Starting point is 00:55:45 You too. Thanks, man. He's a musician, so he You have a great long weekend. Love you guys. You too. Thanks, man. He's a musician, so he's always having a long weekend, isn't he? Yeah, he is. Man, smoke on the water. I've got to get practising. I don't even know that song.
Starting point is 00:55:53 I think it's that. I think it's that. You doing it again doesn't make it any easier, Clint. No? No. I think, Producer Neeps, can you turn your mic on? You've got a bass guitar there. Can you play it? Yeah, this is it, Producer Neeps, can you turn your mic on? You've got a bass guitar there. Can you play it?
Starting point is 00:56:05 Yeah, this is it, Dan. It's really not selling it to me. Yes. Okay. Clint, Meg and Dan. Easter weekend. If you would like to get your hands on only one of two ever made Easter Megs, thanks to Body Effects, they made the mould of Meg just off photos alone,
Starting point is 00:56:24 which is crazy. And then Devonport Chocolate ended up taking the baton from there and creating Meg's face out of chocolate. It's so amazing. His emulance is uncanny. Despite Dan obviously showing off on the radio and saying it looked awful, he, this morning, Meg, he goes, oh my God, that is, that's so cool. They look better in person. It's very clever.
Starting point is 00:56:42 They just gorge. They look delicious as well. But I don't know if I'd want to eat it because it's so beautiful. That's the tricky. They look better in person. It's very clever. It's just gorge. They look delicious as well, but I don't know if I'd want to eat it because it's so beautiful. That's the tricky thing, yeah. So you guys want her, this little Meggig, the last one in the world ever to be made, you would like her to go and do something fun.
Starting point is 00:56:57 Yeah, well, we thought if we're going to give it to somebody, who can promise to show our Easter Megg the best time and get a photo of it in the most unique circumstance or location? Yeah. And it could be as simple as you do one of those, like maybe you do a crazy job where you clean windows of high-rise buildings and you could take Meg up to like one of the highest buildings in New Zealand. Are you planning on going on a trip tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah. Take me overseas. Are you a tour guide in Waitomo Caves? Could you take Meg through the caves with the glowworms? Yeah, we just want you to show Meg a good time. When was the last time you had a good time? Probably about seven
Starting point is 00:57:33 months ago. Oh yeah, that's right. We need you in a couple months. Okay. She can pinpoint the exact day she had a great time. No, I'm joking. We don't need any photos of Meg doing that. I'm joking. Maybe you could, if you could 21 No, I'm joking. Oh, my God. We don't need any photos of Meg doing that. I'm joking. Maybe you could, if you could, 21st, I think she's hollow,
Starting point is 00:57:48 so you could maybe make me a cup. Oh, yeah, like cut the head open and drink out of it. I'm going to ask you to drink with me. No, no, no, that would be such a waste. I mean, she is hollow, so you could put anything in her, really. Like you could put, like say, for instance, you're going on an overseas trip. You could put a tracking device in there. What were you thinking?
Starting point is 00:58:08 You know, and we could see where Meg's going throughout the trip that you're going on. Yep, yep. I don't know, what could you possibly do with this Meg? Just don't take her anywhere hot. Yeah, that's true. Any places you don't like going Meg? Like where you go, that's not really me. Skydiving?
Starting point is 00:58:27 No, I would rather her do it than me. Right. But she'd have to have her own parachute. I don't think anyone would let people throw out quite a heavy piece of chocolate on a plane. Yeah, true. It could kill someone. Okay, if you've got plans over the long weekend and you're like, yeah, I could take Meg with me and snap a few pics of her enjoying herself.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Oh, you know what would be funny? Seeing who has a more fun long weekend, the actual Meg or the Easter Meg. That's great. Someone, Abby, has just texted her saying, I'll take her on my surfboard on a storm. Oh, Abby, please don't surf in a storm, darling. I don't want to know. That's going to worry me.
Starting point is 00:58:59 No, it's just you on the surfboard. Oh, just me on the surfboard. That's fine. Just the chocolate. Yeah. I don't want to be saved. All right, if you want to get your hands on it, you just have to convince us that you're going to show our Easter Meg a good time.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Meg's face mould covered in chocolate. Daniel says he wants to eat Meg's face off. He texted that an hour ago though, weird. Oh yeah, nothing to do with this. Clint, Meg and Dan. Body Effects, thank you guys very much for creating a mould of Meg's face through just using photos
Starting point is 00:59:26 I'm not sure how you did that and then Devonport Chocolate ended up finishing the job so we have Meg's face like a face mould of her uncanny resemblance we're calling it our Easter Meg
Starting point is 00:59:36 only two of them ever created gave away one already about an hour and a half ago you just have to tell us how you would show our Easter Meg a good time
Starting point is 00:59:43 and document it for us and and she's all yours. Yeah. It could be anything from going overseas and taking Meg with you to, well, what someone has suggested on the text machine, rolling you down Baldwin Street in Dunedin. That I believe it's Stuart. Yeah. I mean, no one would get to eat the chocolate, though, Stuart.
Starting point is 01:00:01 It would just, you know. A little wasteful, but I would love the slow-mo. You there, Stuart? Yeah. How you doing? You good? So would you eat Meg after you rolled her down
Starting point is 01:00:13 Baldwin Street? It depends on how much gravel rash she's sitting in. Quite a bit, quite a bit I imagine if you're going right to the top. I've been there before. Do you live on Baldwin Street,
Starting point is 01:00:23 Stuart, or are you just in the area? Oh, I'm going to fly down, see my folks down there. It's time in Dunedin, so... I mean, she is rollable. I look at her now, and she looks like she would roll.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I wouldn't last a quarter. What do you mean? It's your first time in Dunedin, and your parents live there. Do they just move? Oh, they've moved down there recently. I'm not that bad of a human being. I was wondering.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Yeah, but you are willing to roll Meg down a very steep hill. Okay. So there's one option. I think that's one idea. And then we have Brenda. Brenda, you've got a party to go to? Oh, yes. It's my husband's 50th and it's a big cowboy party.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Okay. So we've got all hay bales and all that and everybody's dressing up. We've had socks made and we're having a spit. Oh, that sounds like... If we had an Easter Clint, that's his... Yeah. Oh, you've got a spit roast as well. Yep, having a spit roast as well, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:15 With about 50 people. Once you've got rid of the pig or whatever, I wonder if you could... Oh, no, the heat, eh? Yeah, it'll melt instantly. Put Maggie to the side and just have her turning around and just for the rest of the night as like an ornament that's, you know? I know what you're doing. I know what you're saying. You want me to say it out loud. I'm not going to say, put Maggie to the side and just have her turning around and just for the rest of the night as like an ornament. I know what you're doing.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Are you still talking about the chocolate? You want me to say it out loud? I'm not going to say it. Say what? I'm not going to say what you're saying. I'm not going to say it. It's 8.50. Yeah, but kids aren't in school.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It's holidays. I'm not. No, you're naughty. Right. Okay. What about Hayden? Hi, Hayden. What's up, Jamie? How are you? Yeah, good. Good, Hayden. Always good to chat with you, right. Okay. What about Hayden? Hi, Hayden. What's up, Jamie?
Starting point is 01:01:47 How are you? Yeah, good, Hayden. Always good to chat with you, bro. How are you going to show Meg a good time? I'm going to show Meg a good time. So imagine it now. Me, the delivery room, and the two loves of my life. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:59 That's you, Meg. Chocolate. That's you, Meg. Meg was like, wait, is it your wife and child? Have you got two ladies? Okay, so Meg can sit there. Would you put her down the business end? I'd want to be down the business end.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Hell yeah. She'll be in for a look. The only problem with this, Hayden, is we were wanting sort of photo evidence of the fun time that Meg's having, and I feel like... Well, wifey's not going to love a photo of me right down business end just smiling away.
Starting point is 01:02:25 They're going to click slow. Yeah, that's what he'd have to tell her. Okay. I think that's personally the best option so far. Someone else says they could take him to their in-laws' alpaca farm. That's from Mike. Did he say delivery room like around July though? I could bloody take her to the delivery room in July.
Starting point is 01:02:42 She's going to be mouldy. Oh, true. Yeah. How long does chocolate last? I don't know. I don't know. Another one says, Meg, they could take you to the farm and get a lick from a cow. Ruby is going to be heading to the farm over the long weekend.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Somebody wants to sneak me into Te Papa. Just put me on one of the stands somewhere. Ooh. Now, I like that. Don't mind that. That is good. Can we get Meg into Te Papa? And then they just go, oh, look.
Starting point is 01:03:05 And it's the perfect crime because it looks nothing like her. So people go and they go, who's that? And it's untraceable. It's untraceable. Let's get them off. That's Ashton. We're just trying to talk to Ashton. Ashton, now, would you be committed to sneaking me into to papa?
Starting point is 01:03:22 I could give it a go. I haven't been there for a while. I need to remember what's in Te Papa. Okay, well, I'll tell you what will be in Te Papa this weekend. This sounds like someone that talks a big game, but now that we're calling you, you're like... You know, Trevor. Come on, Ashton, you need to put your money where your mouth is.
Starting point is 01:03:41 We'll send this to you. You take it into Te Papa. I'm imagining it like... And I don't want to be sitting at a cafe table. I want to be somewhere that where your mouth is. We'll send this to you. You take it into Te Papa. I'm imagining it like... And I don't want to be sitting at a cafe table. I want to be somewhere that people could think is an exhibition. Yeah, like they're almost confused and wondering if it's part of the museum. Someone else said they could take her to Hobbiton.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Now that's more up your alley, me. Oh, God, I would die to go to Hobbiton. Okay, so we've got some options. I reckon we maybe correlate all the good options and then come back to this in like 10 minutes. Because we've got too many good options. Okay, yeah, keep them coming through and we'll make a decision before 9 o'clock.
Starting point is 01:04:13 Yeah, because I think we need to go back to the drawing board. We've got too much stuff. Sarah's going to take you to the Chiefs game and split you up amongst all the fans at the end? It's to Papa or Hobbiton for me. It has to be. Keep them coming through. 3-3-4-3-0-800-EDGE
