Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. This is the OnlyFans podcast with Clint, Meg and Dan. It's not meant to be as explicit as the actual OnlyFans, but most of the time it is. Morning, everyone. Funga day. Nelson. Queenstown.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Roto Vegas. Invercargill. Invercargill. You around? Yeah, mate. Bloody thirsty, though. I hurt my wrist on the door of the car earlier. Does anyone know what this guy's saying?
Starting point is 00:00:29 It's Clint Magentad. Kia ora, good morning. It's five to six. Short week Monday. Oh, that's right. I forgot it's a short week. Oh, how could you forget? I've been looking forward to this.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's terrible. No, I didn't know either. We have been since the last one we did. Oh, my God., yeah. That's terrible. No, I didn't know either. We have been since the last one we did. Oh, my God, no, I'm not talking. It's 5.55. No.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Oh, yeah, Meg doesn't talk contractually until 6 a.m. Absolutely not. The boss can't afford to pay her overtime. Her rate's too high. Yeah, and she's just earned another $400. Just like a bomb. Like that. Don't make me laugh.
Starting point is 00:01:02 I'm not laughing until 6. Oh, no, she doesn't laugh. Yeah, that's extra. Okay. Oh, Clint will just wait, eh? Shall we wait five minutes here? Five minutes? How are we so early?
Starting point is 00:01:12 Someone's dropped the ball. Don't know. I'm going to say Producer Carl. Heads are going to roll. All Ming needs to do is click her fingers and people get fired. Is she going to do it? It's been a while so you know, is it time? Yeah. Is it time to sort of switch up the team? You know what I'll do
Starting point is 00:01:30 to everybody who works at the Edge, I'm just going to do it once. Oh! And now they know the good sitting goes. Hear that? Is that me? Someone's been fired somewhere. If someone at the Edge leaves in the next one to two weeks, we know why. Remember this moment. Remember. Oh, we know why. Remember this moment.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Remember. Oh, we all laugh hoping it's not us. See you later. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Clint, Meg and Dan, we started a little early this morning. Just get a jump on the competition. Definitely not a scheduling error.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Slightly early. It happens every now and then, doesn't it? Yeah. Oh, it's six. Yeah. And mate, we're always here anyway, so it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Yeah. Casey the boss is always saying, you guys were over. Now we're well under. Yeah. So it's going to say that we're probably still going to end up over,
Starting point is 00:02:17 which means we've taught extra long today. Yeah, we've gone and filled the gaps. Yeah. Not allowed to play the news much later than seven and eight. They're going to be bang on.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Did you guys watch any of the Coachella footage on the weekend? It's been incredible. I'd say the most talkable Coachella in a long time. I agree. Lorde's performance. Lorde with Charlie XCX. Benson Boone with Brian. Bohemian Rhapsody.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Brian May from Queen. I've heard about it, but Bohemian Rhapsody performance. I've deliberately stayed away from watching because I know we'll talk about it on the show today. Rhapsody performance. I've deliberately stayed away from watching it because I know we'll talk about it on the show today. Dan said Queen doesn't even do it live. Yeah, so the end bit where it goes, Galileo, Galileo.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Even when Queen did it back in the day in the 80s, when Freddie Mercury was still alive, they'd just cut to a pre-recorded bit because it's almost impossible to do live. And he did it live with a choir. Well, he tried to. Did it flip? Oh, he did another flip.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Oh, there was plenty more flips. Okay, the flip was, I mean, maybe the flip, the flip's this thing, I guess, now, and everyone's expecting and waiting for it
Starting point is 00:03:12 because as soon as he doesn't do it, they'll be like, where's the flip? Oh, come on, mate. But then maybe you do the, but then you do the flip and everyone goes, all right, cool, mate,
Starting point is 00:03:17 we've seen the flip. So what does he do? Does he drop the flip or keep the flip? Well, he's kept the flip and the flip is still there. I think the thing is he does too many.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I think if he'd just done one big build up and then he does the flip and everybody goes, great. But then he keeps flipping. Yeah, okay. He does about five or six flips. And then it almost makes you think after the first flip, you're like, huh, maybe I could do that. And you can't.
Starting point is 00:03:38 But you start thinking you can because you've seen it so many times. I guess it gets less and less impressive. Clint sounds like he's actually tried. He's like, and you can't because it's quite frustrating. It's actually rather hard. So it is impressive, really. Lady Gaga was a big talk of the Coachella stage as well because I believe it's been a wee while since she's been on Coachella.
Starting point is 00:03:57 She's also announced a tour. I don't think she's coming to New Zealand. Shock horror. But it's going to Aussie. I've got a lot of friends trying to fly over to go and see her. She'd be so amazing live. Yeah, the thing is the airlines hike up the prices
Starting point is 00:04:09 when they know there's a big concert happening. I know. You know, so... Are we working with them at the moment? Who? Any airline.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Usually we're working with one of them. So, yeah, not right now. We might be next week. Yes, you got a five out of five review from a very notorious person who is shitty with their reviews. five out of five review from a very notorious person who is shitty with their reviews.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Five out of five stars. Thrilling all-timer of a performance at Coachella. She does a great performance. What's not to like about Gaga? Great voice. She's vocally insanely good. That's true. Great dancer.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Great on any instrument you put in front of her. This song supposedly sucked in terms of reviews and airplay. But my nine-year-oldplay. It's her favourite song. She's always like, Dad, can you put on Abracadabra? I'm like, sure. And then she was listening to it as we were coming back from up north over the weekend. She goes, Lady Gaga's parents must be so proud of her.
Starting point is 00:05:00 That's true. And they must be, Clint. And they must be. What a woman. Yeah, I suppose they would be. Imagine how proud her mum must be, Clint. They are. And they must be. What a woman. Yeah, I suppose they would be. She goes, imagine how proud her mum must be of her, just coming up with songs like this, Dad. I was like, so amazing. Two-hour performance covered 22 songs of hers
Starting point is 00:05:16 and people calling it Gagachella. Gag doesn't quite roll off. Gagachella. Gagachella. Gagachella. Doesn't quite good. But she is such a performer. I'm just not shocked.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And also, this time, how many years ago? Kyle, how many years ago did she release Just Dance? We were talking about it just before. Seven, so whatever that is. Clint can do maths. What was it? We only caught... 2007.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Okay, so 18? 18 years since Just Dance came out. Bloody hell. Yeah. Gosh, she's a woman. Hey, you know what? Name does work better with Coachella out of all the three of us. Clinchella.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Clinchella. I prefer Gagachella. Gagachella. Gagachella. Clinchella works. It feels like a baby festival, though. It does. It does with Gagachella.
Starting point is 00:06:00 The wiggles. Yeah, it's been 17, is that what you said? 18. 18 years since she released Just Dance. We thought she might have been a flash in the pan. She's proven not to be. Hell of a dancer. And then that meat dress, we're like, oh, she's cooked it.
Starting point is 00:06:14 It's gone too weird. No, she wasn't. It was raw. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. Day in music today as well, and pop culture. So 1994, this day, Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana, one of the greatest bands of all time, was found dead in his house in
Starting point is 00:06:27 Seattle. This day? Yeah, this day, 1994. And also in 2012, the final episode of Desperate Housewives aired. Oh, I was obsessed with Desperate Housewives. It felt like when Desperate Housewives first came out, it actually felt like a change in like, we haven't had a show
Starting point is 00:06:43 like this before. Do you know, I know, it was just felt like so new to everybody to watch these like, women be like, involved in a murder. And Eva Longoria,
Starting point is 00:06:54 like no one knew who she was until that show and then it was like, everyone knew who she was. She was blown into the, yeah. And,
Starting point is 00:06:59 and um, the chick who was with Superman. Remember, that was the last thing we saw her on. She was Lois Lane on Superman. And then all of a sudden, she was in Desperate Housewives.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah. Which one was that? The one with all the work done. Terry Hatcher. Is it Terry? Yeah, Terry Hatcher. Yeah, right. And it was like,
Starting point is 00:07:15 what has she done in TV since? And then next month, she pops up on that. Well, what's the redhead done since? She's done very little. And then there was the other lady. Felicity Huffman. Felicity Huffman.
Starting point is 00:07:24 And she got arrested for selling number plates or something. No, no, no. What was she doing? I thought she got arrested for getting her kids into university when they weren't smart. That's right. I think she ended up getting, like, they cheated the tests. Yes, they cheated the tests. She either, like, paid, I don't know, someone to go with her.
Starting point is 00:07:39 The kids didn't even know. Yeah, I don't know. She was like. Imagine that. We're talking about, like, Lady Gaga's period. It's been super proud of her. And Felicity Huffman's like, there's no way my kid's going to get through this.
Starting point is 00:07:48 I'm just going to check the test. Pay for it. So it's like, I think it was kind of like, let's say the kid's got 40%. And so she went and paid money to make it look like they got 70. And the kids also were like, oh, look how smart I am.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Mum's like, yeah. Yeah. I paid a lot of money, so don't stuff it up. Oh, that's such a privileged thing to do. It was crazy at the time. It was something, that's such a privileged thing to do. I know, it was crazy at the time. It was something like that. That's pretty close to the truth, but I wouldn't say it is. I know some parents did, so I think she might have been one of them.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yeah. I think she went to jail. Yeah, she did. Yeah, she went to jail. Yeah, crazy. What was her name? Felicity Huffman. And then there was Edie, who was in the show, but I don't remember her real name, and she
Starting point is 00:08:21 was the bad guy, but I think she's been normal since. Felicity Huffman, jail time. She served 11 days in prison as part of a 14 day sentence for her involvement in the college admissions scandal.
Starting point is 00:08:31 She also completed 250 hours of community service when placed on supervised release for one year. Yeah. Insane. God, that was a good
Starting point is 00:08:39 show though, wasn't it? Outstanding. One of the greats. But ever since then, you're right Meg, it kind of hit. It did. It changed greats. But ever since then, you're right, Meg, it kind of hit. It did. It changed television.
Starting point is 00:08:47 It did. Because I feel like since then, the standard of television, like since then we've had Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, you know, all those massive shows that were huge. Almost like every episode was a movie. And it was also really because obviously you couldn't stream. Streaming didn't exist, Gen Z's, by the way. We actually had to watch TV when it was placed
Starting point is 00:09:06 and we just had to be there. Otherwise you missed it. Aging yourself again. But it was so, it brought everybody together because they were like, have you seen the latest episode of Desperate Housewives? I miss that. I miss being able to watch things at the same time.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Yeah. She didn't actually pay that much money to change the score. It was 15,000 bucks. So it's not like she's like a multi-millionaire and spent $400,000. You know, like $15,000. It's still a lot of money, I guess. Any money to pay for your kid to cheat is bad. It is, but I thought she only could do it because she was a rich celebrity.
Starting point is 00:09:38 But I was like, huh. I mean, if you bought a cheaper car. I'll tell you what I did. There were definitely some that paid more, so she must have been like, he's only a little dumb. Here's a cheap way to do it. Buy a pump bottle
Starting point is 00:09:47 and then write in very small lettering on the pump bottle some of your answers. That's what I used to do in exams. Damn. And then like, you're allowed water in there and they never noticed the little scribbles on the pump bottle.
Starting point is 00:09:59 She said, it felt like I would be a bad mother if I didn't do it, so I did it. And I wanted to give my daughter any chance at a future. Oh, didn't do it. So I did it. And I wanted to give my daughter any chance at a future. Oh, Clint's understanding it. Look at him.
Starting point is 00:10:09 He's going, oh, shit, I get it. I get it. I don't think you're a good parent to help your child cheat. There's nothing good about that. Well, the thing is, once they get to university, they're still dumb, right? So it's like, but I'm like, oh, I guess you can. It's the whole thing that you can understand as a parent.
Starting point is 00:10:22 You do anything for your kid. Yeah. If you could. Yeah. Well, there you go, Clint's the Felicity Huffman of the show. Yeah's the whole thing that you can understand as a parent. You do anything for your kid. Yeah. If you could. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Clint's the Felicity Huffman of the show. Yeah, we all know that. We all knew that.
Starting point is 00:10:31 It's one of my six nicknames. His nickname. Your daughter wanted ice cream because of how well she did in the test. Really? What's going on about, can we get ice cream afterwards? I did so well. I would have loved to see Felicity's eye roll at that moment. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Sure. You're the best. You're the best. Wow. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky boot. Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, my goodness. Mr. G, you'll know him from Summer Heights. Hi. Actually, I think we've got a little clip here to, like, remind you.
Starting point is 00:11:02 We've just been reliving all his best bits. Yes. Sexy. I've got a little clip here to remind you. We've just been reliving all his best bits. Yes, we have. She's a naughty girl with a bad habit. A bad habit for drugs. And my favourite line from this, where have you been, bitch?
Starting point is 00:11:15 Where have you been, bitch? Oh, God. So if you don't know what I'm talking about, Summer Heights High was a mockumentary-style show 15 years ago based in Australia where Chris Lilley, one comedian, played different roles in the show, some very controversial, one of them being Mr. G, who is the drama school teacher,
Starting point is 00:11:35 who is very flamboyant. I sort of get some of the things, some of the controversy. Like, he did do blackface in one of his characters. Yeah, he was drunk. That was terrible. And I think now, with hindsight, it was not a good decision. But back then, when he was doing the things, it wasn't sort of as widely seen as offensive, you know? And I think that's important, even though we might go,
Starting point is 00:12:03 yeah, but still, but it's like, you know, we can't laugh at something I think that's important, even though we might go, yeah, but still, but it's like, we can't laugh at something, think it's funny, and then 15 years later go, oh, you shouldn't have done that. He's like, well, you were laughing at it. And that's why it spurred him on and he kept making it because people kept enjoying it.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And there was other TV shows out there as well, like Little Britain that did the same thing. Many different shows around the world that did it. So, yes, it's definitely not good now. And people, you go, oh, it doesn't mean that it was right. But I guess what I think you have to remember is that people will play in the times and with the rules that are, I guess, put upon them for that time.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So I think it's hard to cancel someone in 2025 for something they did in 2010. I know, but in saying that we did it in 2020, I think that was the height of the kind of cancellation sort of culture. In 2020, Netflix pulled all of his shows off New Zealand and Australia platforms, even though the show was from 2010, but they pulled them off the platform in 2020. Because they realised it was funny in 2010, but now it's sort of aged poorly.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I think what happened, Clint, is actually Gen Zers were like, what's this show? I haven't seen this before. I'll watch that. And they go, what? Yeah. What the hell is this? And we all sat there like, oh, don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:13:14 It's a summer hot time. And they go, have you guys re-watched it? And it's like, what? What he did? Anyway, it is going to be a podcast. It sounds like Chris Lilley, a.k.a. Mr. G, has maybe had a few packets of cigarettes since he did the show. His voice is sounding a little different.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Well, well, well. Hello. This has been a long time coming. You and me both, G-timers. I'll explain everything, why I've been so aloof. I feel like I'm going to explode. The excitement quivers are
Starting point is 00:13:49 pulsating through my body, let me tell you. On the drive here, I almost crashed the car, driving to the back of someone in the gets when my leg went all stiff with excitement about this podcast. The podcast is coming out April 23rd, so we have to wait another month and a bit.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And he does say later in that clip, he is going to talk about all the drama that went down at Summer Heights High, all that birdie pile of shit, as I think he likes to describe it. He's done this before, because I've listened to a few episodes back in the day of Jemazing,
Starting point is 00:14:19 where he did a podcast where he was Jemay, the... Private schoolgirl. Private schoolgirl. Yeah, I... And it's just him for like 20, 30 minutes just talking. Yeah, I have a high school book. Actually, they did merch back in the day
Starting point is 00:14:32 when that was first released, and they actually did a yearbook. One of my most prized possessions. It's interesting, isn't it? In 2025, literally everybody has a podcast. Well, he can get away with whatever he likes in the podcasting world, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:44 But yeah, I mean, if you're going to cancel him, then cancel all the other... You know, Andrew Tate. Everybody has a podcast. Well, he can get away with whatever he likes in the podcasting world. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I mean, if you're going to cancel him, then cancel all the other, you know, Andrew Tate. You know what I mean? If you're going to cancel anybody that's controversial in a podcast. It feels like it's like, well, you can get away with anything you want in the podcasting space. I guess it's maybe TV rules are different to podcast rules. I mean, some of the stuff Meg says on our podcast are cancelable, you know?
Starting point is 00:15:02 Some of the controversial opinions she has off here. I feel like... When we finish recording an OnlyFans podcast, I get probably more from Dan than anyone else going, hey, can we edit that out? Sorry, man. I don't know what happened. I got carried away.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Can we cut that? I'm just looking after Meg. I think you should edit that out. That's what she said. Clint, do I have any lining here? Sorry, my internet's not working. Oh, for Scandal? Yeah, is there anything I need to say?
Starting point is 00:15:23 Nah, babe. Brilliant. Feel good? Sorry would be good. Yeah. Just sorry at the end of it. And that's scandal.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you for everything. Just a blanket apology. Clint, Meg and Dan. I'm wanting to get to know everyone that listens
Starting point is 00:15:39 to our show a little bit more intimately, one at a time. And we'll saw you out with Voucher to go spend and saw Zed for your troubles. All right, Meg, we'll hit you with a question.
Starting point is 00:15:54 We try to guess what your answer might be. Whoever's closest to what your actual answer would be wins. Now, the problem is, Clint, we've been having issues this morning with systems, all the systems, the computer systems. Now, the problem is that that also affects phones. And so to get to know listeners, we need our phones to be operating at an optimum level. And unfortunately, that is not where we're at. Did we just have Paul? Is he gone too?
Starting point is 00:16:18 He just dropped. Yeah, he dropped too, bro. Oh, Paul from Wellington. Are we blaming the system or is Paul just not wanting to speak to us? I think it could be a bit of both. Right from Wellington. Are we blaming the system or is like Paul just not wanting to speak to us? I think it could be a bit of both.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Okay now normally the three of us would happily fall on the sword and go you know what
Starting point is 00:16:36 it's our fault but Paddy is here from engineering and it's probably his fault. He's circling
Starting point is 00:16:43 in the studio at the moment. It's also affecting our microphones, clearly. Okie dokie. It's like a ghost in the system. But have we tried turning everything off and back on? I have tried that, yeah. Have you tried that? Have you tried the off-on?
Starting point is 00:16:57 He's like, don't actually. We have tried the off-on today. What if I give the computer just a swift kick? In fairness, this phone's a problem. No one's mentioned this to me yet. Okay, all right. Yeah, yeah, that might be a new one that's just part and parcel
Starting point is 00:17:10 with why things are freezing. Could just be Monday vibes, I guess. Okay. How often do you, in engineering, when something's not working, you know like when the TV
Starting point is 00:17:18 back in the day wouldn't work, you'd give it like a whack on the top or on the back and away it would go? Yeah. That's what we do after the on and off doesn't work. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And you go, hey, can you just leave the room for a second so people don't see that your tactics are just to give it a kick? So this morning, Paddy, unfortunately, because the phones aren't working, we're going to get to know Paddy, our engineer. Paddy the engineer. Okay, star sign? Virgo.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Virgo. And what car do you drive? I drive a Mitsubishi Outlander. Must be nice. A Mitsubishi Outlander. And he does mixed martial arts in his spare time. Oh, mate. Jiu-jitsu.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Jiu-jitsu. Oh, you'd be good to kick the computer then. Yeah, yeah. You can do it. Okay. Has anybody got a question for Paddy? Okay. I'm on the spot.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Um. What? Where did he take his last date? Ooh. It was Friday and Archibald's. Where did he take his last date? Wait, wait. He's already answered.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Did you go to Archibald's on Friday? I went to Archibald's on Friday. Okay, okay, okay. Well, then we'll say, how did the date end? Don't answer this. So we've got to guess, Paddy, and then you answer, and whoever gets closest wins a point. How did the date end?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Can I ask a quick question? No. Okay. I reckon the date ended with a little bit of a peck on the cheek. Oh, a peck on the cheek. Okay, and it ended well. It was a good date. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Nothing, Paddy's not the guy that tries to take them home on the first date. I'm assuming it is a first date. Okay. And it was just a nice end to a date. Okay, I'm going to say it wasn't a kiss. It was like a good hug. And I mean that in the way that it was just like, it was such a fun night.
Starting point is 00:18:51 They had a great hug. I had a really good time. See you later. And then they keep texting afterwards, even though the date had ended, which is when you know it's a good sign. Okay. I think they probably spent all their points.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah. Generally, all we can get is a few lollies or a squishy ball. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, a little stress ball. And then you were like, what are you up to now? And she was like, oh, not too much.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And then you guys kicked on and went to another spot. Ooh. Yeah, and then you went home and probably banged at your place but you won't be able
Starting point is 00:19:20 to say it on the radio so you'll be like, no, no, that didn't happen but it did happen even though he'll say it didn't. Oh, now I think it's the point. Okay, who was closest to Paddy? Meg, you're
Starting point is 00:19:29 close. So no kiss. Good hug, but then texting afterwards? There were a couple messages and I've never been left on scene. Oh, that's not so good. But it's okay. Did you go back to hers or yours? I dropped her off at home, yeah. You did go back to hers? Not into her house. Did anything happen?
Starting point is 00:19:47 I gave her a hug when she got out of the car. Are you guys in the same car? No. I told you to say that. Oh, no. I went that point. I went that point. I told you.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Nothing happened. And he went to her house. I said. We're reading between the lines, you guys. Did it. Okay. Well, so what do you do when you get left on seeing? Like, do you give it a few days and then follow it up with one more message just to see?
Starting point is 00:20:06 Or do you just leave it? Maybe if you like it. Huh? Maybe if you like it. But, like, it was fun. We had a good time. But no ultimate spark, really. Yeah, yeah. So it's probably best for...
Starting point is 00:20:15 You must have ruled it if you do like them. Like, how long do you leave it before? Because you don't want to be pestering someone. But some people do just get busy and need, like, a know, you just like bump the message to the top again. I think Clint, if she was keen, she would have messaged him back. Oh, okay, Dan.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Die every week. Oh, okay. Follow up and be like, yeah, in a different conversation and then if you don't hear from them two times in a row, then you just got to move on.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Two times in a row is a good call. Good call. Yeah, cool. Because the first time I'm like, oh, you're sorry. I have actually legit been flat on being mean to get back to you and then away you go.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Your conversation's alive again. Clint would be terrible at dating. Can you tell Patty in this day and age? Yeah. Because he'd be like, hold on a second, but they haven't messaged back and maybe she's got busy.
Starting point is 00:20:52 He's got so many questions. I've asked him what to work and they reckon. All right, cool. All right, so Meg gets another point. Brilliant. And you get a voucher. Somehow you get a voucher to go spend in store at Zed
Starting point is 00:21:04 once you've finished fixing the stuff. Turning it all off and back on. Brilliant. And you get a voucher. Somehow you get a voucher to go spend in store at Zed once you've finished fixing the stuff. Turning it all off and back on. Yeah. All right, and hopefully we get our phones back up as well
Starting point is 00:21:10 so we can take some calls from you. And that means Dustin the Mentalist joins us next to tell you how to know when people are lying to you
Starting point is 00:21:17 and why psychics may not be that psychic at all and are just trying to get hold of your money. Next. I'm going to cut the computer. Here we go. And...
Starting point is 00:21:24 Oh, did that work? Might have. Here we go. And that worked. Might have. And we have a very special mentalist joining us on the show this morning. Thank you so much for joining us on the show. We really appreciate your time, and we are fascinated by your world. Yeah, what you can do. Yeah, it's always a lot of fun being a mentalist. It's travel all across the U.S., doing shows, interacting with people.
Starting point is 00:21:44 So it's a lot of fun. So Dustin, describe to us for people that don't know what a mentalist is in its purest form, I guess. Yeah, so a mentalist is just basically someone who gets inside people's heads. We spend a lot of years practicing this. And most mentalists start as magicians. That's how I got my start. I started as a close-up magician doing sleight-of-hand card tricks. And then I got really interested in the psychology behind the magic
Starting point is 00:22:11 rather than just the visual magic itself. And so that led me down the path of learning what it means to be a mentalist, what a mentalist is. And basically what we do is we use psychology, misdirection, sometimes it is sleight-of-hand or trickery, to make it seem like we can actually read people's minds. I found you and discovered you on TikTok from you going through what could be some scam artists or some psychics who are trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. And you said, this is how they're doing this. This is how they're reading people.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And I thought that was fascinating how you broke that all down. Do you think any psychic is real or all of them are doing mentalist work? So it's a good question. Personally, I don't believe in any psychic powers at all. So nothing I have seen has convinced me that, hey, this person is legit.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Obviously, I don't have all the answers. Maybe there is someone out there. And that's what I kind of I'm trying to set out to find out, you know, and test people. Is this real? Is it true? There's a couple of things. I don't think every psychic is using mentalist techniques because I don't think they've ever even learned it or heard of it. Some psychics I don't think are intentionally scamming people. I think some truly
Starting point is 00:23:25 believe that what they're doing is real because I've met a few that truly do believe that what they're doing is real. I think they're just kind of happening to be really good at psychology and maybe they're guessing certain things right. They're ignoring the things they're missing and they're kind of guessing some things right and they're saying, oh, maybe I do have a gift. However, there are definitely some that I have met and that I have known that I believe are using mentalism techniques. Wow. And do it on purpose.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Or cold reading techniques. That's the worst part. And doing it on purpose. Can you use your mentalist abilities? And I know that you say you're cheating and things, but what can you use them for on a day-to-day basis or clients yeah when you're not on stage yeah like what are you what's the most common thing you use almost nothing right yeah where can you use your superpowers you know I get people that say like well what could you win the lottery or something like
Starting point is 00:24:20 couldn't you play and no because if I could I wouldn't be here right now I'd be on a private island somewhere I wouldn't be doing shows I. I would be living my best life. It's not really much that you can do. Now, there are things that I have learned as a mentalist that like, yeah, maybe some psychology can come into play where I can maybe kind of tell if if someone is lying to me or if or, you know, certain things. And my buddy, to mention him real quick, his name is Spidey. He's a mentalist as well. He runs a YouTube channel called The Behavioral Arts. And his whole thing is using his techniques
Starting point is 00:24:51 as a mentalist to, and he also went to school for it, but telling body language, like being able to tell if someone's lying or telling the truth. Oh, cool. It just doesn't, it sounds cooler, but it doesn't really, it's not really applicable to real life.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Thanks, Dean. Dustin Dean, mentalist. How do, it's not really applicable to real life. Thanks, Dean. Dustin Dean, mentalist. How do you know when somebody is lying to you? If you've been the victim of compulsive liars, whether they're in the family or they used to be in a relationship with you? If they look down, isn't that a sign? I thought I always look up into a certain angle. I thought one way is looking up for memory,
Starting point is 00:25:24 and the other way is looking up for imagination. I think looking up is memory and looking down is... Looking sideways? Yeah. The hard thing is it's very quick to notice and we can't sit there and go, sorry, did you look left or right? Which way? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah. Oh, your left. Or was it my left? Oh, bugger. I wish I knew my left and right. Dustin Dean Mentalist tells us how we can tell if people are lying to us. Here are some telltale signs. So there's so many different things that you can use to tell
Starting point is 00:25:58 and all these different things. You know, they say that it's never always like a surefire thing. Like it's never like this is always going to be yeah but it's honestly it's more obvious than you would expect like one thing uh that i've learned is that if someone is telling a story of what happened there is some like a memory they're having there is some truth to the fact that if they are looking up like this and you can see them like thinking, it can be a sign that they are truly recalling a memory. Like they're trying to see that memory in their head. Right. So if they're kind of like, oh, yeah. And they look off to the side for a moment and then they continue their story. And also if someone is like super animated with how they're telling things
Starting point is 00:26:47 maybe it's like they're reenacting certain parts of it whatever this story is that they're telling. It can actually be the opposite of what you think. It can be that they're lying and that they're trying to demonstrate proof by acting something out.
Starting point is 00:27:04 This is what to look out for, according to Dustin Dean, mentalist. Coming up after seven o'clock this morning, Easter egg prices. Oh God, they skyrocketed, haven't they? For some reason, and we know why it is, cocoa prices are through the roof. Oh, is that why?
Starting point is 00:27:17 And so that trickles down to Easter eggs. You said for some reason and then... Dan goes, most people don't know. I do. But also, I'm like, surely there's something else at play because I went
Starting point is 00:27:27 to the supermarket on the weekend they are insanely expensive to the point where like they're unaffordable for a normal average family
Starting point is 00:27:34 completely agree you know those little mini speckled eggs that look like actual birds eggs guys favourite my husband's favourite $8 for a little bag
Starting point is 00:27:41 of those $8 or $9 and I thought that's great a little bag of little eggs. What a horrible world we live in where you literally can't afford Easter
Starting point is 00:27:49 eggs anymore. It sucks, man. Can't you buy real cheap chocolate though? Yeah, but it's never as good as that. I know, but who cares? It's just most of the fun is in finding them. It's coming from the richest person on the show over here. I'm just saying, you're the one complaining.
Starting point is 00:28:05 I never complained once about the price. He's hiding those lint bunnies, eh? I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone gets a lint bunny on their own. Must be nice. Lint for everyone at the Randall's house. Here's a little lint bunny hack as well.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Cut the ears off and then you make espresso martinis and you pour it down the hole in the ears and then shove a straw in there. He's using it for cups. Incredible. Clint, Meg and Dan. Easter. Just around the corner, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:28:29 This time of year, everybody's flocking to the shops to buy Easter eggs. Yeah, yeah, they're everywhere. It's a dangerous place to go with a toddler or a child, I imagine, even older for you, Clint. It's just there everywhere. And shame on you, Kmart, as well. You know, when you've finally picked out your things, you've navigated the store,
Starting point is 00:28:45 and then you're like, right, let's go pay for it. And then they make you wind down that confectionery aisle while you're waiting for a teller. And it's always like, you're moving in slow motion because it's always busy. And so the kids just have the chance to neg you over probably like six or seven different items and you go, no, put it back.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I don't think I've ever left that aisle without a little something something. Really? David, we were talking about our children, but good for you. There should be a confectionery free lane. They have that at supermarkets. You don't know that?
Starting point is 00:29:14 No. There's a literal lane that says confectionery free lane. Yes, and I think it's Woolworths and there's only bananas, apples like gum and nuts and jerky. I wouldn't trust Meg though because she goes through the 12 items or less with 15 items. I know. But there's double bananas, apples like gum and nuts and jerky. I wouldn't trust Meg though because she goes through the 12 items or less with 15 items.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I know, I've seen that. But there's double ups in there. If I have two milks, that's one. That's not. It is. Anyway, you can't escape it at the moment. Easter is everywhere and there's a lot of news stories around about the price of chocolate at the moment. Not just Easter eggs. Apparently, according to this chocolate expert,
Starting point is 00:29:43 cocoa prices have tripled since 2020. Tripled. That's crazy. So I'm just going to test you guys because it is insane how much you're paying for Easter eggs in 2025. So I'm just going to give you maybe three items, staple Easter egg items.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Okay. And you need to tell me what you would pay. Yeah. Okay. Six pack of the Cadbury cream eggs. Clint, Clint, six pack of the Cadbury cream eggs. Clint, Clint, six pack of the Cadbury eggs. It's going to be that thing where we guess too high. Okay, well, I'll go what I would be happy to do
Starting point is 00:30:11 if I was to pick it up and not thinking about this price. And this is the recommended retail price. You can probably get them cheaper. $3.99. Whoa, whoa, whoa, for six of them. I know, but that's what, no, I'm not trying to be, that's how I would feel like I'd be happy to pay that. I would have gone $18.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Three bucks an egg and there are six eggs. Okay, so you're somewhere in the middle. Three years ago, you could get these for $6.99. Yeah. Okay. They're now $11 for a pack of six Cadbury Cream Eggs. Clint's good at this. Oh, well, I guess, actually, if I'm buying them individually for $3,
Starting point is 00:30:43 then if I was buying six, I'd expect a discount. You're buying $3 for a Cadbury Cream Egg? How much are you paying for an individual Cadbury Cream Egg out of interest? Surely not. $1.99. I thought that'd be about $3. And then I just did the maths, but I should have. Bulk buying is always cheaper, right?
Starting point is 00:30:56 $2.29 recommended retail price for a Cadbury Cream Egg. That's not bad, eh? $1.80 two years ago. Let's go on to another pack. This is the Marshmallow Eggs. Yeah, I love them. I hate them. 3.25 pack. This is the marshmallow eggs. Yeah, I love them. Oh, I hate them. 325 grams. They're the Cadbury ones? Yeah, yeah. So you're top upper echelon.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Because they've just released Buzz Bar ones, which are the best. Those and Pinky Bar ones. Yeah. But it's only half an egg. Remember it used to be a whole egg and now it's half. So you'd expect to be paying less, wouldn't you? You would. Okay, so I actually did just get some of these over the weekend. Six.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Six halves. Six halves. So three marshmallow full eggs. It doesn't actually say how much you're getting it, but you're getting 325 grams of marshmallow Easter eggs. Anything is too much. Oh, I love marshmallow eggs. Let's go $4.99.
Starting point is 00:31:41 $2.50. $2.50? Yeah. $11.99 Wow Very clear Colin has not done grocery shopping
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah And just so you know you can obviously get them on sale at some places but at this stage $11.99 for
Starting point is 00:31:56 in theory three marshmallows Do you know where you can get them on sale? Where? Next weekend Ooh Okay
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah If you don't tell your kids it's Easter this weekend you tell them it's Easter next weekend you're saving a lot of money Okay them on sale? Where? Next weekend. Ooh, okay, yeah. The weekend after Easter. If you don't tell your kids it's Easter this weekend, you tell them it's Easter next weekend, you're saving a lot of money. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:09 And finally, let's go the crunchy egg. So it's 169 grams, a hollow egg with crunchy chocolate. Cabri again. And this is recommended retail price.
Starting point is 00:32:21 $12. I'll leave it at $19. Yeah. Nine bucks. Clint, you're very, very close. Recommended retail price of $11.50.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I just said $12. Oh, did you say, oh, okay. Nah, but I said nine bucks, Meg. Yeah, and I prefer
Starting point is 00:32:38 when Clint's slightly closer. So I'm just going to ignore Meg there. Well, I got it basically dead on. Well done, Clint. Another point. Yes, thank you, Dan. Yeah, well, I got it basically dead on. Well, I don't get another point either. Yes, thank you, Dan. How did that happen?
Starting point is 00:32:48 Dan's got terrible maths. So I think the moral of the story is, A, don't listen to Meg, and B, yeah, but chocolate price is through the roof. Yeah, I feel sorry for anyone that is feeling like they're not going to be able to afford to buy themselves a little treat here. Yeah, but here's a little tip.
Starting point is 00:33:02 You can get a 250 gram, it's a T-Rex egg from the warehouse. Waikato Valley, though, not a Cadbury, only $12. Oh, and actually, Janita joins us from Christchurch. She's got a bit of a hack as well from the Waikato. Morning, Janita. Morning. Morning.
Starting point is 00:33:18 What's your hack? From the warehouse, too, they've got these nice Easter bunnies. We tried them, and they're much nicer than the Waikato and the Cadbury chocolate. What says it in the name? Oh, nice Easter bunnies. Two for four bucks. Damn. Yep, two for four dollars.
Starting point is 00:33:36 That's a good deal. Yeah, and I'm just looking actually on the website now, you can get a small pack of small ones as well. Five dollars for them. Nice mini eggs. Okay. Thanks, Janita. a small pack of small ones as well. $5 for them. Nice mini eggs. Okay. Okay. Thanks, Janita.
Starting point is 00:33:46 You know what else? We were spitballing behind the scenes for you, Meg. Nice little treat. We just probably need a company to go on board and help us. But Easter Megs. Oh, a Meg egg. Yes. Oh, you could also do a Preg Meg egg, because I'm Preg.
Starting point is 00:33:59 It's too much rhyming. You could do a Preg, and then inside the hollow Preg Meg, there could be another egg. Like a baby. Like a baby egg. Like a preg meg egg with baby egg. So wait, so it's like an Easter meg and then you break the belly and inside it is another egg or a little, like a little
Starting point is 00:34:13 boy or girl. Like a chocolate Russian doll. Okay, anyone listening who knows how to do that? Oh, it could be Russian fudge. Too far. Too far. Okay. It's an idea that we thought we could do so if anyone has the ability to create
Starting point is 00:34:29 chocolate in whatever form we might like. So you guys have just had the idea and then that's it? Yeah. I mean, that's what we do. We put it out into the world. If someone wants to pick it up maybe Willy Wonka, if you're listening. Clint, Meg and Dan. I was just teasing you before about couples who sleep in separate beds
Starting point is 00:34:45 are more likely to what? It's called sleep divorce Yeah Sleeping in a different bed Apparently it's becoming more and more common It's been common I think with older couples
Starting point is 00:34:54 You know Maybe they don't love each other as much as they did when they were younger And I'm talking like older like in their 60s, 70s Maybe there's snoring involved
Starting point is 00:35:03 and so they've decided to sleep in separate bedrooms. Those are two very different reasons, not loving each other or snoring. Yeah, I know. But you sort of maybe understand it for a couple that's been together for many, many, many years. But when younger couples are doing it,
Starting point is 00:35:16 it's becoming more of a trend. You go, wow, maybe it is something, there's some good reasons to be doing it. It says that it's become a growing trend, sleep divorce, not a sign of relationship problems, but rather a way to improve sleep quality some good reasons to be doing it. It says that it's become a growing trend, sleep divorce, not a sign of relationship problems, but rather a way to improve sleep quality and potentially strengthen a relationship. Couples who choose sleep divorce due to sleep disruptions
Starting point is 00:35:34 caused by snoring and different sleep schedules, restless legs, and other factors. Yeah. So you go, right, I'm getting really annoyed at you, and I'm not getting a lot of sleep, so then you're just actually better as a couple if you sleep in separate beds
Starting point is 00:35:46 if that is kind of your situation. Yeah, I've been very open about me and my husband not sleeping in the same beds for many years now. I think the name sleep divorce
Starting point is 00:35:53 brings negative connotations. Yeah, I don't love that but it doesn't affect me or bother me in the way. Like even the stats, if the stats came out and said that it was really bad for relationships
Starting point is 00:36:01 that doesn't bother me because it hasn't been for my relationship I think anybody bother me because, as it be for my relationship, I think anybody would be able to say that me and my husband are extremely close and wouldn't be worried about me and my husband not having a connection. And we haven't slept in the same bed for, ooh, over three years.
Starting point is 00:36:18 What happens if you, say for instance, because you guys are active sexually. Yes. What happens, like, when, so you'll go through to his room or he'll come into yours. Yeah. Because doesn't it sort of spark
Starting point is 00:36:28 like if you're just like holding each other and they say that that creates endorphins and things and whatever. But if you're in another bed and stuff, then that, I would think the opportunity for that to just happen is less. I find,
Starting point is 00:36:42 we've got to remember, me and my guy are also on very different schedules to probably the norm. Guy's a stay-at-home dad. I finish work at about 12.30. And so we doodle on the afternoon or it happens in that way. And also every night we go to bed together. We do puzzles together in bed.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And then when we go to sleep. Yeah, I know. Well, like we do like crosswords and word holes and everything. Oh, that's a different game. We do about five or six different puzzles a night together. Wow, good for God. I know it sounds really lame, but it's something that we love to do
Starting point is 00:37:15 where it's not talking about kids or work or anything. We do it every night. And we sit in bed together, and he massages my feet. And, like, we're spending time together in bed, but when it comes to right lights off we're going to sleep it's separate beds it's not like he goes
Starting point is 00:37:28 to his bed and goes see ya peace like I'm gonna go read peace out peace A town I told you guys no one does that anymore
Starting point is 00:37:36 they haven't for years but it works for us yeah it definitely does Guy is a huge snorer I love being freezing cold at bedtime. He used to have to wear a beanie in bed with me, so he would like, so he'd wear a beanie.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I have restless legs. He snores. And resentment built between us. And it's built a good relationship, better relationship, you think? One hundred percent there is a better relationship. We're both getting more sleep, and I don't resent him for snoring and getting angry
Starting point is 00:38:03 and then waking up feeling groggy and pissed off at him because all we were doing was sleeping. We're missing out on nothing but sleep at that point. I must say, I spent the night with Guy once. He slept over at my house. Bloody hell. Oh, my God. He shook the roof.
Starting point is 00:38:14 You weren't even there, mate. You went upstairs and slept in your bed, and I got stuck down there. I know. Me and Brock and Guy. The fact that I could hear him upstairs in my house. I used to wear double earplugs, but now that we have children,
Starting point is 00:38:26 I refuse to wear earplugs because I need, I won't sleep because I need to hear my daughter. I grabbed my pillow and then I just whacked him with it and he quickly went back to sleep. So he'd wake up and be like, what was that? And I'm like, asleep? He's so used to it. And then I'd try and go to sleep before he fell back asleep,
Starting point is 00:38:40 which never happened. Yeah, so you can see that after, I've been with him for 11 years. I slept in the same bed as that man for seven of them. It's like sleeping next to a pig. So I think I did very well. Has sleeping in separate beds fixed your relationship? They said it's a trend and people are now trying to prioritise sleep
Starting point is 00:38:59 and all the rest of it. Yeah. Was it not good? Then you went to separate beds and now it's good. We're the happiest we've ever been. Because I associate sleeping in separate beds like I'm in trouble. Same. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:39:11 If Hannah banishes me from our marital bed, we don't even have another bed to sleep in, so I'm straight on the couch. Clint, Meg and Dan. And sleep divorce is becoming a, I guess, a trend where people are deciding to sleep in separate beds to improve their relationship because they're getting better sleep
Starting point is 00:39:29 and having better moods because of sleeping or restless legs or just different work hours and schedules. I imagine for the couples that don't have like snorers or really opposite sleep sort of people and the relationships would sit there and think, that's doomed, I would never do that. I would think my relationship was over.
Starting point is 00:39:47 But that's probably because you're in a situation where it hasn't hindered every single night you're sleeping and waking up with only a few hours and the resentment that builds over years. Yeah, I think there's a bit of a mixed bag on the text machine in terms of if it's worked for your relationship or not. This person said, hate the effect it's had on our marriage. My husband wanted to try it, but it's killed intimate spontaneity. And I could feel
Starting point is 00:40:08 a drift happening. And that's the guy because I've mostly found, that's really shocking to me, I've mostly found that women suggest and men don't want to. So that shocks me a little. But on the flip side, it comes to the snorers, I suppose. Yeah, true, true. Yeah, another person texted me, my husband and I
Starting point is 00:40:24 were utterly incompatible when it comes to our needs for sleeping. Basically, I suppose. Yeah, true, true. Yeah, another person sticks through. My husband and I were utterly incompatible when it comes to our needs for sleeping. Basically, I need some light in the room with some white noise and he needs complete darkness and silence.
Starting point is 00:40:31 We tried to find a middle ground for years but there simply wasn't one. Yeah. One of us wanted to try it. We tried it and it's been absolutely life-changing.
Starting point is 00:40:38 To me, I'm just asleep during it. Nothing else I miss out on. It's interesting as well, like if you really like a soft beard and they really like a hard beard and stuff really like a hard beard
Starting point is 00:40:45 and stuff, because I guess there's... Rollers, twitches in beard. You're both, if you are very, very different, you're both having to compromise to a point where you're both not really that happy
Starting point is 00:40:54 because, like you say, you're in a room that's slightly too dark and they're in one that's slightly too light or a beard that's too hard and too soft. And if you just are lucky
Starting point is 00:41:01 and you find someone who's just like you... I couldn't do it. I find I'm most connected to my wife Hannah when we're in bed. When you're asleep. Yeah, we do our
Starting point is 00:41:09 relationship health checks. Yeah, but when you're asleep, that's what I'm saying. There'll be no difference between me and my husband. The only thing we're not doing is sleeping. Like I sleep next to each other.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah. We hang out, we talk beforehand. Yeah. We do that thing where we'll get into bed, we'll put our foreheads together and do like a relationship health check. Yeah. Maybe two or three times we'll get into bed, we'll put our foreheads together and do like a relationship
Starting point is 00:41:25 health check. Yeah. Maybe two or three times a week. Which you still would do awake. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. And then we go to sleep and then it's just weird.
Starting point is 00:41:33 What did he say? Oh, you don't know about the relationship before it was here. We'll talk about that before it was here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The forehead thing.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Every night? No, not every night. Maybe two or three times a week and you'll put your head together and I'll just go, anything bothering you? And she'll go, whatever's bothering her.
Starting point is 00:41:47 What can I be doing better? Mostly this weird head thing that you keep persisting and going. That's what we've done our whole relationship. Just foreheads together. You have to have something touching. Oh, I wouldn't have chosen forehead.
Starting point is 00:41:57 You can't hide when you've got your foreheads together. Yeah, you also can't hide your breath if something's... No, no, no. What's bothering me? Your bad breath. It's those pickled onions. Anna's always Your bad breath. It's those pickled onions.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Anna's always got great breath. It's like fairy dust. Oh, wow. And this one just comes through. My parents have been married nearly 30 years. They've been sleeping in separate beds for over 10 of them.
Starting point is 00:42:13 As I started getting older, I started realising what it meant when they were sleeping in the same bed, though. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, mum and dad
Starting point is 00:42:23 are sleeping in the same bed. Oh. Yeah, because if they aren't and then when they are that naughty, we're going to go, why are you guys... Oh, mum and dad are sleeping in the same bed. Yeah, because if they aren't, and then when they are that naughty, we're going to go, why are you guys... You know what's going down normally. God, no wonder they don't sleep in the same bed. The back of the bed's always banging the wall when they do. And then this one, no way, we literally sleep intertwined together. I don't mind the intertwined hugging thing,
Starting point is 00:42:41 but then when I go to sleep, I don't want to be touched. My wife will annoyingly just put her hand on my chest while I'm sleeping. I'm like, don't, just don't. And then she'll just put like a little pinky toe up against my calf. And I'm like, just stop it. You know I can't.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Touch me. Her little pinky toe. Okay. Reaches out. It stretches. It's quite long. Yeah, it just reaches out. She's got uncannily long pinkie toes.
Starting point is 00:43:05 No other part of her foot touches him. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Yeah, I wanted to hear from a hairdresser or a barber. Maybe you've worked in the industry before. You're still working in it. I want to know your thoughts on a refund if a customer is not happy with the haircut they've received. I've done this before.
Starting point is 00:43:24 It was probably three or four years ago I had a haircut. And I will say this, the barber admitted to the error. Oh, what did they do? What did they do? So they'd done it too short. I'd asked for a fade
Starting point is 00:43:37 and they'd given me a very, very, very low fade to the point, or a high fade, I guess you would say, to the point where it looked like I had sort of no hair from the top of my forehead down. I remember you got that a couple of months ago. No, that was even worse than that. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Oh, God. No, I quite liked it. You know what? When I was getting that haircut recently, I was like, this is not going to end well. But then it was one of the best cuts I'd ever received. Oh. But they'd just taken so long to do the fade
Starting point is 00:44:06 that I thought it was literally... I just couldn't. I mean, I couldn't ask for my money back because I even, if I walk, I just go, oh, awesome, thanks very much, I pay. And in my head I'm saying, I'm never coming back here again. Yeah, and you would go to your wife who wears the hairdress
Starting point is 00:44:18 and be like, fix it, do whatever you can. Yep, and then she'd be like, well, why didn't you just get me to do it? I was like, oh, you're always busy. I think it's probably easier. I was trying to take one thing off your plate. It's probably easier for a female, if you, say, Meg, you went in and you weren't quite happy with it.
Starting point is 00:44:32 You've got more play to fix it because your hair's longer. Whereas when they've just shaved off all your hair, there's nothing you can fix unless you put on a wig. You guys are doing beanies and wigs for a few months, that's for sure. Although more to lose with girls if you've got long hair and it gets dyed badly or cut badly. And the problem is sometimes people will, then the argument will be, why didn't you tell them when they were doing the haircut that they were going wrong? But once they've done the first shave.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Or like the first dye, the dye goes in, it's like it's done. It's done. Yeah. And it's too late to go, I didn't want that. I think a dye is different. I think you can get your money back on a dye or you wouldn't pay for it. You go, well, this is not what I wanted. Clearly my head is like golden and I wanted like, say, white blonde. But I think
Starting point is 00:45:10 a haircut is, there's so much room for, like, I mean it's all subjective in terms of how short is short and how long is long. I know, and I know with, but I know with dye I think, and I would love a hairdresser to tell me exactly what happens but if somebody said to you, I don't like this, wouldn't you just offer, hey, I think. And I would love a hairdresser to tell me exactly what happens, but if somebody said to you,
Starting point is 00:45:25 I don't like this, wouldn't you just offer, hey, I'll redo it tomorrow, come back in tomorrow rather than give money back? Because your time has still been used. And that's what Natalie said on the text machine. She's a hairdresser and she says, say, first instance, they offer to try and fix it. If they can't fix it, then they're more than entitled to their money back. Yeah. Thanks for
Starting point is 00:45:41 texting through, Natalie. Jackie, hopefully a hairdresser. Oh. Oh no, Natalie. Jackie, hopefully a hairdresser. Oh, okay. Oh, no, got arrested. Okay, Jackie, wait. How do you get a haircut and end up arrested? Okay. Okay, so I'm a hairdresser.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I'm 53, so I don't hairdress anymore. But I was going off to Australia for a cheerleading competition. And I thought I'll pop in and have a haircut because you know and so anyway I had my haircut then I went off to have lunch with my mate and tie things up and I went to the bathroom and I saw these chunks out now it was short anyway because I like my hair short right and I tore all these chunks out behind my ear and up the top so I went back and I said hello I'm a hairdresser look I don't want my money back. I mean, I don't want another haircut. I just want my
Starting point is 00:46:28 $40 back is all, you know. I know you can't fix it. I can go home and fix it, so just give me my money. No, no, no, we'll give you another service. I said, no, no, no. I told you the situation. I trusted you the first time. I'm not going to trust you twice.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Call me once, shame on me. Yeah. It got out of hand and, you know, I started spitting my bits around and said, well, I have to leave. Oh, bloody hell. I'm sorry, spitting your bits. Right, I'm taking my pants off.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Spitting your bits around. She did a helicopter. Painting quite a picture, Jackie, I must say. Right. But anyway, it got really out of hand. The manager came, the cops got called, and we sorted it all out on the street. Did you get your 40 bucks back?
Starting point is 00:47:11 Nah, nah, nah. But 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.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Wow. Well, I mean, do you remember, Jackie, you I got arrested for threatening to kill. Wow. Well, I mean, do you remember, 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. I mean, let's not forget the indecent exposure for flinging your bits all around. You can fling your bits around. We're not even mentioning that yet. Jackie, as they were putting you into the police car did you go, this is Democracy Manifest.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Get your hands off my piss. I had to walk down the street handcuffed. Oh my God. Same thing. You didn't go back there I imagine. For a $40 haircut.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Incredible. Thank you, Jackie. What a story. I'm going to send you someone you'll get great service. Zed, we'll sort you out with a voucher.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Thanks to our show sponsor. So enjoy spending that in store. Don't ask them to do a haircut though aww yeah thank you thanks Jack
Starting point is 00:48:10 my goodness we might just have to give Zed a warning before she turns up you don't know what she'll be flinging around I love that unstable energy she's rocking the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast
Starting point is 00:48:19 I think Benson Boone's been tarnished with the loser brush even though I thought he did quite well from what I've seen. He chose a very difficult song to do well. Well, he wore a wonderful sparkly jumpsuit and he is his own artist
Starting point is 00:48:33 and I don't want to take away from his own creativity. But since we don't have Harry Styles being flamboyant and sparkles on stage, I feel like he's kind of filled that gap a little bit while Harry's taking a break. And he did Bohemian Rhapsody with Brian May from Queen. My time is come That shivers down my spine
Starting point is 00:48:55 But God, he's taking all the time I mean, okay. This is the easy part of the song. Yeah, so we're going to skip into the falsetto parts, which I think he did better. Yeah. But then if you go to Adam Lambert, who has been the film for Freddie Mercury for many years now,
Starting point is 00:49:25 touring with Queen, the difference is quite astounding. But I don't think Benson would judge himself. Put a gun against his head Pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life has just begun But now I've got him thrown it all away You pulled that from an audition, eh? Yeah, that was his audition.
Starting point is 00:49:49 That was his audition before he was who he is. That was before he was Adam Lambert. His first ever one on American Idol. That's what he auditioned with. It's incredible. That was just all up my arm. My mum saw him at They Came to New Zealand Queen. Yeah, my mum saw him too.
Starting point is 00:50:02 And she always says it's the best performance she's ever seen. Incredible. Who else performed? We had Charli XCX, who brought Lorde on stage. That was a cool girl gang. Well, actually, a cool gang. Troye Sivan, Charli XCX, Lorde, and Billie Eilish hanging out all weekend together. I know. What a posse. What, actually a girl gang. Troye Sivan, Charli XCX, Lorde, and Billie Eilish hanging out all weekend together.
Starting point is 00:50:26 What a posse. What a posse, eh? Lady Gaga had, was, Wait, how did that feel coming out of your mouth? Not great, Clint.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah. Lady Gaga was actually the talk of the weekend so far. People have been naming it Gaga Challa with how well she did with her two hour set. Oh, she knows how to do it. Who came up with Gaga?
Starting point is 00:50:55 I'd love to see her live. I feel like she's one of those pop stars that isn't scared to get, like, messy and ugly. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, she's very real and vulnerable. She's been here long enough that people aren't going to be like, who's this new chick trying to do these weird sounds and stuff? Yeah, doing weird things on stage and weird moves.
Starting point is 00:51:15 She's been doing it for ages. I'd be gutted if Lady Gaga did a normal set. And like my nine-year-old daughter said yesterday, Lady Gaga's parents must be so proud of her. Oh, I'm sure they are. Yeah, what an awesome performer she is. And a lot of talk about Green Day as well when they're up on stage. Well, maybe I'm a f***ing adamant.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I'm not a part of a MAGA agenda. Let's change the lyrics. A MAGA agenda. Well, that whole album, American Idiot, was about... Let's change the lyrics. America agenda. Well, that whole album, American Idiot, was about George Bush. So they've just changed it to make it about Donald Trump. I was really impressed with, what's his name, Billy. Billy John Strong. Yeah, I think he sounds great.
Starting point is 00:51:58 He's much older. I think he maybe is sober now. He had a lot of issues with alcohol a few years ago. He sounds fantastic. Yeah, he sounds exactly the same. Yeah, I was really impressed. That's always been
Starting point is 00:52:07 great live Green Day. So Coachella looked awesome. I've also been following the behind the scenes. This is Lola Young who did her first performance with Missy.
Starting point is 00:52:15 A lot of singing to this one. I've been looking behind the scenes at the TikTok videos of, like, the difference in accommodation that you can get from, like, a $1,200 tent with a couple of air mattresses into, obviously, like, the glamping that you can get for 10K. But, yeah, incredible experience if you get to go. I'm not, yeah, I wouldn't want to camp there.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I know that much. I'd love to go there one day. But stay in an Airbnb. Yeah, we'll be at the Airbnb, I reckon. Yeah. Those who love How You Like Dem Apples, have you heard us do that on the show before? We've got some very big news for you.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Special edition. Oh, God, are we being sued by one of the apple companies? Hopefully not. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. How You Like Dem App apples on the show tomorrow? Every Tuesday, we will test an apple to try and find New Zealand's greatest apple ever.
Starting point is 00:53:11 It's a bit of a long run-up sometimes. The bit has been critiqued for having a very long intro. Yeah, people love to hate, don't they? And always the people that hate us always have the loudest voice. But I've heard we have a very special apple on the show tomorrow. Not just anyone that you can run down to New World or Woolworths and grab. Producer Carl has been working on this behind the scenes for how many weeks? It feels like probably about a month and a half, maybe even a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:53:39 And I want to just say, Carl, I feel like you've lost sight of other things. And you've been really focusing on this Apple thing and you've dropped the ball on a lot of other things. I completely agree. I've become quite obsessed. And okay, this is the... If anyone knows this show well, why has Clint chosen this song in the background?
Starting point is 00:53:59 Well, I've been handed a piece of paper. Would you like me to read what is written on said piece of paper? I can't fit it here too. It says, Gravity, the story of Isaac Newton and the apple. On a warm summer's evening in 1666, just after dinner, the soon-to-be-famous Isaac Newton sat down beneath an apple tree to mull over his thoughts, when all of a sudden he was struck on the top of his head by a large red and green apple.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I'll read it. This guy, young Newton pondering, what made it fall? What was the force that pulled it towards the earth in his head? So wait, before 1666, no one ever thought, like, why things fall down and don't float up? Oh, really? 1666 is a long, long time. I didn't even think no humans were alive then.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Okay. So we actually have an orchard in West Auckland. There's a special tree that has been grown from the cutting of the original tree that Isaac Newton sat beneath. Shut up! The type of apple is a flower of Kent apple, but this specific tree is made from
Starting point is 00:54:57 or cut, you know, the cutting grew from that tree that Isaac Newton sat beneath. Wait, wait, wait. So, Patricia Carl, this dude who's going to help us tomorrow, his grandfather and his grandfather, all the way back to the 1600s, have kept a cutting of the tree. They had an apple that fell on Isaac Newton
Starting point is 00:55:16 that discovered gravity, and we're going to try the apple tomorrow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, this is like a real, like it's such a poignant moment in history. It rewrote history and physics books forever. And there's a cutting from this tree.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I've just got one question for you. The reason we started this segment is because we wanted to try apples that people can buy. Can people buy these apples? I think I missed that part of the description. But I'm way too deep now to cancel this. Yeah, Brian, the owner of the tree, Dan, actually has said that the tree doesn't fruit very much anymore because it is so old. And he only has two apples,
Starting point is 00:55:51 and this season he's given us one of them. Wait, the whole tree made two apples? I think he said it made like six this year. He's only got two left, and we're getting one of them. I'm not holding out hope that it's going to be a tasty number one apple. I hope it's a good Kent. Are you thinking... So they're called Kents?
Starting point is 00:56:08 Yeah, Kents. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Clint? Yeah. Are you? I don't know. Well, you said yes. Okay. Say it at the same time.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Three, two, one. Hope it's not flowery. We drop it on Dan's head. Oh, you're both thinking of very different things here. Well, I was just thinking like Isaac Newton had one of these apples fall on his head and he discovered something incredible. Oh, we need to do something with gravity.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Like, it needs to fall from a very high distance. Onto Dan's head, and he might come up with some incredible solution. Oh, no, no, I want to try it. Now I'm worried that you guys have lost sight of everything else. Now you're on Carl's thing. Oh, is this tree magic? I'm sorry, but it helped a man discover gravity
Starting point is 00:56:45 and who knows what Dan could come up with if we drop an apple on his head. Would it have to have some sort of mattress around him, producer Carl? A mattress? At a height? Well, I don't want the apple to break because we want to eat it.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Yeah, I would love to try it. If there are only two left this year and he's given us one, what a waste to smash it on Dan's head. Yeah, you're not worried about my head, you're worried about the apple. Right, okay. But I definitely think it'd be an absolute drop ball to not drop a canned apple
Starting point is 00:57:10 onto Dan's head. Like, from a height, if that's how gravity was discovered. And I know what Meg's saying, she's saying drop it onto the smartest person's head, I get that. No, I just think that I'm pregnant and we can't have anything touching Clint's face because that's his moneymaker, just in case. Hopefully. My face is already... But you'll find that could be sacrificed. I fell out of an ugly tree that's his moneymaker. Just in case. Hopefully. My face is already...
Starting point is 00:57:25 But you'll find that could be... I fell out of an ugly tree. Sacrificed. So, you know. Okay. Okay. There we go. So, this time tomorrow...
Starting point is 00:57:31 Oh, my God. We could discover the next gravity, Dan. Yeah. The next massive radio idea could come from you after this Apple hit you. I could be on the $20 note. You could be? Wow. Yeah, now he's getting into it. I'm a... I'll I could be on the $20 note. You could be? Wow. Yeah, now he's
Starting point is 00:57:45 going to end it. I'm a twin. I'll probably be dead because the Apple killed me. Yeah, that's right. But I'll be in there on memory.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Okay, watch this space. It's going to be exciting. What time tomorrow? What time tomorrow? Just time tomorrow. Just time tomorrow before 8 o'clock. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Clint, Meg and Dan. Okay. Neeps. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. Our producer Neeps is in a band called the Sam Cullen Band. I actually think it should be Sam Cullen and Neeps. Clint Megadam. Let's go. Our producer Neeps is in a band called the Sam Cullen Band. I actually think it should be Sam Cullen and Neeps Band.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Have you ever petitioned Neeps? Oh, yeah. I put it up every single week at band practice. I just shot it up. You need to come up with a proper name. Played with a tuning fork on Friday, and a whole lot of the edgies all got out to support our very talented friends.
Starting point is 00:58:26 We have Gil Bella, loving it. So Nick, you're on bass, right? I am on bass, Judy. Which is so funny because if you listen on Friday, I actually have a bass guitar that my mum has brought up from Wellington now because she wanted it out of the house. So it's now in my house. And what's her name?
Starting point is 00:58:42 I don't know if it's Lola or Layla. It's one of them because I thought it was either Eric Clapton or that Lola song. Yeah, both of them. Very cool. Very cool. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Very cool. Do you have to name your instrument, do you? Yeah, well, I did and I took black and white photos with it looking serious. Never played it. Yeah, no, I haven't named my bass either, to be fair.
Starting point is 00:58:58 I feel like mine doesn't have a name. To earn the right to name your instrument, you should probably at least play one song on it. It's so embarrassing. I had like three lessons and then realised it probably wasn't for me. But man, did I milk the photo. You should have.
Starting point is 00:59:10 You're a perfect example of your mum should have gone, let's rent one first. See if you like it before we dish out and buy one. To be fair though, I saved up my own money for a very long time. So she's like, well, if you want to do it. That was my first big purchase as a kid was buying my bass guitar
Starting point is 00:59:24 and I still have it to this day. Wow. And I absolutely love my bass. Okay. It's always been a dream of mine to be in a band. It's just cool, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Well, that's what I wanted to be, like the bass. I thought it would be the cool, hot girl. There's something about like when you see people in a band, there's like this camaraderie. It's like a sistership, a brothership of like,
Starting point is 00:59:41 you're all there. You're intertwined. You're playing music together. You're so dead right, Dan, yeah. Because there's only so much practice you can do and then on the day when you're actually playing, you can only rely off each other's looks. Chemistry.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Exactly. So when Sam looks at me in the middle of a song and we're coming up to a certain part, I'll know what he's meaning just by him looking me in the eye. That's like us. Exactly. I don't give two shits about the camaraderie. I'll know what he's meaning just by him looking me in the eyes. Oh, really? Exactly. Exactly. I don't give two shits about the camaraderie.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I just always thought the girls were hot if they were in a band. So you just want to be hot? Yes, I just want to be hot for the first time in my life. And I wanted to be in a band, but the band I wanted to be in didn't actually play instruments. It was just a boy band. Oh, you want to be a fake band. You want to be like Westlife. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Trust Clint, eh? Yeah. Can Clint A. Can we just not play instruments and just look hot on stage? I've always, like my wife plays guitar, and so she's taught me a couple of songs. And I can like play the song from memory, but as soon as I start singing the song, my fingers stop. So it's like my brain won't do both.
Starting point is 01:00:39 So either sing or, yeah. Yeah, the multitask is, that's definitely the hardest part. Because I do the backing vocals as well, so I sing in all the weird, awkward parts of the song at the same time as playing the bass, which is playing in the weird, awkward parts of the song as well. Do you guys think it's strangely coincidental that the universe is like, I've got my bass back? That you don't play, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:56 No, well, you know. Dan, I do remember you have said in the past that you wish you were in a band. We've now got a new producer this year who plays in a band. And is almost inspiring us and teasing us with time. Who's the guy?
Starting point is 01:01:09 What's the name of the band? Sam Cullen. Sam Cullen. Is he the lead singer? He's the lead singer. How good is he? Yeah, he's pretty good. Could he be replaced
Starting point is 01:01:15 by like Dan Webby? I mean, you're a pretty good singer, Dan. I reckon you'd give him a run for his money. No, I don't think Meg wants us to join their band. No, I think we should
Starting point is 01:01:22 do our own band. Oh. What, just us three? Well, I mean, we've got producer's needs. Yeah, I can join think Meg wants us to join their band. No, I think we should do our own band. Oh. What, just us three? Well, I mean, we've got producer's needs. Yeah, I can join in. Maybe you can borrow my guitar or something. Yeah, I'll borrow your bass, yeah. And then I think, I think we've got Bella plays keyboard or something.
Starting point is 01:01:34 Oh, does she? I think so. The problem is, Meg, the three of us don't play instruments. I've actually tutored before, so I could. Yep, you can tutor. Okay, what about, okay, what? Clem plays a guitar. Not, like he plays I Can Be Your Hero by Enrique Ig what about... Clem plays a guitar. No.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Like he plays I Can Be Your Hero by Enrique Iglesias. That's it. That's it. Wait, wasn't that a lip sync? That was a lip sync. We could just do one song.
Starting point is 01:01:52 And then he struggles to sing while he's doing it. Like this, sing or play the guitar. We lay down the vocal, then we lay down the guitar or the other way around, and then we're fine.
Starting point is 01:02:00 We just never play live. Yeah, right. Okay. Okay, what instrument energy do each of us give off? Because if we started playing in a band, what could you see Meg playing,
Starting point is 01:02:11 Dan playing, and I playing? Triangle for Meg. Oh, piss off, Dan. I want to be the cool girl. I'd like the drums, if I'm being honest. You could do that.
Starting point is 01:02:19 You'd rip that solo. Stop, guys. Hey, she's playing at the wrong time, Clint. She's doing it again. Okay, what instrument energy did the three of us give off? I'll wait under the edge. And no skin flute jokes.
Starting point is 01:02:31 We know Dan does that a lot. Yeah, I was going to say, Clint's good on the skin flute. Clint, Meg and Dan. We're just talking about, I guess, pie in the sky, thinking about growing up, I think a lot of people have always wanted to be in a band. Our producer, Neeps, is in one and performed at the Tuning Fork on Friday.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Meg coincidentally has her bass guitar back because on Friday her mum came up from Wellington and was like, I'm sick of singing in my house. I'll bring it up and you can play it for the first time. Yeah, okay, I did. What did I learn? I tried to learn something. I'm trying to, I honestly wish I could remember.
Starting point is 01:03:02 It was something really cool that I thought boys would like. I'd like play the start of a song and it would be Smoke on the Water Metallica or something Seven Nation Army surely
Starting point is 01:03:10 do you know what I actually think it was it's the first one I learned on the bass as well I think it was Seven Nation I can't even say
Starting point is 01:03:18 yeah so I've made bass back and Dan you've said you've always wanted to be in a band you seem so keen on this idea no I do
Starting point is 01:03:24 I just can't play an instrument. Like genuinely, I can play a little bit of guitar, but very badly. Well, we said what instrument energy do we each give off? Olivia's got an instrument for you, Dan. Okay, morning, Olivia. Morning. Morning.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Hi, how are you? You're good. What would you give me as an instrument? Definitely a saxophone. I just see you just blowing into something up there. Brilliant. It's giving a saxophone. I just, you know, I just see you just blowing into something up there. Brilliant.
Starting point is 01:03:48 It's giving me a saxophone for me. The problem is, the problem is, Olivia, I just googled a saxophone. Actually one of the hardest instruments to play.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I bet. Like very, very difficult. So I'd love to think I could play the saxophone. Somebody else has said Clint on the sax, me on some sort of shaker. Shaking the maracas.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Carlene, what do you mean some sort of shaker? Oh, I just picture you as some sort of shaky instrument. Yeah, but then you've written in your text, which is cool. I don't know, Carlene. I don't know. What if we get Meg like a guitar, but it's a shaker? Like in the shape of a guitar. It's got no strings, but it's just filled with rice.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Stop it, guys. I want to be the cool girl. I want to be the cool girl for once in my life. Okay, and then what would Dan be on? That is a triangle. Oh, okay. You know, the one with the rubber on it so you can barely hear it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:44 Rubber on a triangle. that defeats the purpose completely. But, Carlene, then you're silencing the most musically gifted person in the band. That's the thing. Well, in the band, yeah, so, yeah, I guess we have to figure out singing and playing instruments at the same time or... Don't know if my brain does that. No, it's very hard. Somebody said, Dan on drums, Meg on bass, Clint on guitar,
Starting point is 01:05:04 and then somebody else said, Clint on drums, Meg on bass, Clint on guitar, and then somebody else said, Clint on bass, Meg definitely on drums, and Dan, dot, dot, dot, keyboard. That's how they've written it.
Starting point is 01:05:11 But again, that's one of the hardest instruments of the three. Can we see Meg doing this? Friendsman, you're a badass.
Starting point is 01:05:20 I mean, it would be badass if it sounded like this. Yeah, I don't know. Phil Collins is my idol. How long does it take for just a needs for someone to get that good at drums from starting? That good? 10 years.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Okay. But to play like a 4-4 beat, we could get that in a week's time, I think. Okay. 4-4, pretty easy. Okay, but then what song goes... You'd be surprised, Dan. There's a lot of them. There is four, pretty easy. Okay, but then what song goes dum, tum, dum, dum, dum? You'd be surprised, Dan. There's a lot of them.
Starting point is 01:05:47 There is a lot of them. I mean, this would be a cool instrument to pick up. Electric guitar. That's so clean. Can you imagine him with the bandanas, Dan? Look at his, he's doing the face. He's doing a stink face. He's not even playing it.
Starting point is 01:05:59 I don't want to see him doing that. Yeah, but Dan. Clint, you're not going to have enough time to grow your hair out, though, because I reckon you'd want to. I know. I think I'd just wear a wig. I'd get a wig and a bandana. It'd be my thing.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Oh, we could have a whole look as a band. You know how bands kind of match? Yeah, I think our look will be like struggling to make up music. That's what it's going to look like. Oh, wow. Dan and Clint have both been kind of said more keytar or electric keyboard.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I might have to look into this. Someone said xylophone for Dan. I'm not opposed to that. It's easier than a piano. I don't think he can wear a bandana with this instrument. I think if you could, Dan, you would really pull off, like, the whole Elton John and piano sort of look. You know how he, like, really makes it cool?
Starting point is 01:06:43 Okay. No? Well. I think think you know, look, you're comparing me to Alton Don. I mean, yeah. Piano man.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Look, let's go to the drawing board. Okay, yeah, we'll park it for now but watch this space. But not interested in dusting off the bass, Meg? Oh, I can dust off the bass
Starting point is 01:07:02 but if we already have a bass player, if we include Bruce and Eva. That's true. I mean, Carl, will you be in the band or will you be on lights and manager? Oh, yeah can dust off the bass, but if we already have a bass player, if we include Bruce and Eva. That's true. I mean, Carl, will you be in the band or will you be on lights and manager? Oh, yeah, okay, I'll be off stage. That's fine. He looks like a lighting guy, eh?
Starting point is 01:07:14 Yeah. He's definitely a lighting guy. I'm the lighting and sound nerd that doesn't get laid, yeah. Carl wins the kids in the gig like two hours before, just go chick one, two. Yeah. Chick, chick, chick. Chick one, chick one. Just the bald guy on the back. One, two, one, two. Yeah. Check one. Check one.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Just the bald guy on the back. One, two, two, two. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Here's some things you need to know. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's. Do what you want. What have you got? Hey, you might not have seen this this morning.
Starting point is 01:07:36 It's pissed Dan off. I've seen that there might be driver's licence changes in our government. So you get one practical test instead of two. You know how we did it? We actually recently did this. You do your written,. So you get one practical test instead of two. You know how we did it? We actually recently did this. You do your written, and then you do your practical for your restricted,
Starting point is 01:07:49 and then you do your practical for your full. They're just saying do your written and then one practical. I think it's absolutely ludicrous. The amount of bad drivers on the roads, and they're going to make it easier to get a driver's licence. Recipe for disaster.
Starting point is 01:08:02 There's already like car accidents. We've got one of the highest accident rates in the world. Or you give them their licence but then you have to go back six months later and sit like another, like you get your full licence
Starting point is 01:08:14 but you've got to go back six months and then just kind of make sure you didn't fluke it the first time. I know what they're trying to do. They're saying they're trying to make it cheaper
Starting point is 01:08:20 which I get because it is expensive to get your driver's licence. Why save money there? I mean they're saying it's time consuming and inefficient, and so that's why
Starting point is 01:08:27 they're changing this, and they also said that the demand for tests had gone up to 60%, and it was trying to, like, bolster testing officer numbers, but it's like, but that's,
Starting point is 01:08:35 then hire more people to do the jobs rather than putting people on the roads that have only had one test. I agree. Like, you're doing one driver test,
Starting point is 01:08:42 and you're in control of a car on the roads. Unbelievable. Yeah. No, I disagree. All right. What do you got, Dan? There's a podcast that's going viral at the moment.
Starting point is 01:08:50 Two gay guys host a podcast called Missing Thing Pod. And they're talking about officially the most common name for a gay man. Have a listen. If you know a mat in your life, they are gay. And if they're telling you that they're straight, I'm sorry, sis. Bonk. Okay. Yeah, so I just thought
Starting point is 01:09:09 that that may piss off a few mats that are listening right now. I know we have a few of them. The most common name for a gay man is mat. Yeah. According to the gay community.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Is that true or false? Are you part of the gay community? Would you go, yeah, I'd say, yeah, that's fair. Or are you like, nah, nah, no way, and you want to throw
Starting point is 01:09:24 another name in the ring? Yeah. 3-3-4 name in the ring? Yeah. 3-3-4-3 on text. Wow. America. F*** yeah. And Donald Trump. I don't know how busy the bro is,
Starting point is 01:09:34 but he has just signed an executive order to make showers great again. Of course he has. No more water pressure adjusters can be installed in homes. Full water pressure only. This is not a joke. New house, you pay a lot of money and the developers, you're not allowed to do anything more.
Starting point is 01:09:52 They put restrictors on. They used to have a restrictor where you could take it out, but now they weld it in and you take a shower or wash your hands, whatever you do, including dishwashers where no water comes out. But you wash your hands and in you do, including dishwashers where no water comes out. But you wash your hands. And in my case, I like to take a nice shower to take care of my beautiful hair. I have to stand in the shower for 15 minutes till it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It's ridiculous. And what you do is you end up washing your hands five times longer. So it's the same water. And we're going to open it up so that people can live
Starting point is 01:10:25 and we're going to hopefully have Congress approve it so it's memorialised. I, to me, it seems that Donald Trump is the type of person that gets into presidency and just changes the things
Starting point is 01:10:38 that affect them. Yeah, of course. 100%. You know, that's how it feels. Like, just listening to that, I can't, he would have had a bad shower once somewhere in the White House and gone, that's it it feels. Just listening to that, I can't, he would have had a bad shower once somewhere
Starting point is 01:10:46 in the White House and gone, that's it. We're changing the whole thing. We're changing that. That's how it feels. And I shouldn't be the only one that gets good water pressure. I'm going to make sure
Starting point is 01:10:53 everyone gets it. I don't even say everyone knows I don't like the guy, but it does suck having bad water pressure. Oh, I tell you what, I've got bad water pressure
Starting point is 01:11:01 in my house. I wish we could change that somehow. Yeah, but I guess having an adjustable, because what about people that are on a budget? Now the water's coming out twice as quickly as twice as much water. Yeah, because I didn't know why you would put one on in the first place. Also this text from someone saying,
Starting point is 01:11:15 Matt is hot as F at my work. Definitely straight though, bugger. And then we've got another text saying, I'm a 33-year-old homo. Their words, not mine. And never met another gay called Matt. I'm not using your words either there. Don't get me in trouble, please.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I can't say those words. Well, I guess they can use them. Yeah, I cannot. Yeah. Interesting. So there's 100% of people saying they've never met a Matt that's gay. Basically.
Starting point is 01:11:43 So far. All right, maybe you're debunking it. Maybe it's not a New Zealand thing. Or maybe this podcast have just done it knowing that it's not, and they're just doing it to piss people off. It's just clickbait. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Okay. Well, yeah, what do you reckon the gayest name in New Zealand is? They're like, you know what I mean. Yeah. If it is a mate. Someone says they give you permission, Meg, to read their text out. Oh, you're a trap. No, they give you, even if you have permission, you it isn't Matt. Someone says they give you permission, Meg, to read their text out.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Oh, you're a trap. No, even if you have permission, you can't say it. And then you said to another one, you said, use the word. No, I'm not going to. It's not Meg's word to use. Is this Star Wars? I am bisexual and I'm not feeling like I can say that on air.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Use the word. Use the word. Clint, Meg and Dan. We got given some time with Jimmy Carr on Friday after the show. Unfortunately, Dan was in Dunedin and was quite late in the show and Meg, you weren't able to be here.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Yeah, I was just not there. Yeah. And so I got to catch up with him. He's doing 13 shows across New Zealand in Jan next year. Dan did say before he left though, Meg, oh, I'm so gutted, like I'm not going to make the interview
Starting point is 01:12:45 because I really would love to be roasted by him. I've always thought, because you see online, he roasts people in the audience. If they hair kill him, he'll just go to town and absolutely rip them to shreds. I've always thought it would be kind of cool to say I've been roasted by Jimmy Carr before. So Dan did get an impromptu call on Friday afternoon
Starting point is 01:13:02 while still in Dunedin from Jimmy Carr, and this is how it went. Jimmy Carr! Well, I can't believe you're luck, Clint. It's me. My producer just went, I can't believe I was just talking to Jimmy Carr. And I was like, mate, piss off.
Starting point is 01:13:16 You're eating into my time. Listen, it's a pleasure to be on with you. Thank you very much. I'm shilling a tour is what I'm doing. I'm really telling people I'm coming to New Zealand next year and I'm going everywhere as well. I people I'm coming to New Zealand next year. And I'm going everywhere as well. I've been to more of New Zealand than anyone I've ever met from New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Yeah, well, I know you're a bit of a workaholic. You did 50 countries and 300 shows in 2023. What did 2024 look like for you? About the same. I mean, you know, I work a couple of hours a night. It's easy. And all I do is tell jokes. I've written a show. I've written, I think, the best set I work a couple of hours a night. It's easy. And all I do is tell jokes. I've written a show.
Starting point is 01:13:49 I've written, I think, the best set I've ever written in terms of jokes. And then I go, look, just heckle me. Come at me with anything. And everyone's shouting stuff out, even if they misjudge it and it's a bit aggressive. You go, yeah, but they're trying to join in and have fun. And maybe they haven't done this before. Cut them some slack. It's all fun.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Unless they don't get bent out of shape when you win. Fine. Dan, who I co-host the show with, wants to go there. I wonder if we could call him quickly and you could say hi to him and give him a bit of a roasting. Oh, no problem at all. Well, I'll place a call to him now. I'm hoping he hasn't jumped on a plane to make his way back to Auckland because he's in Dunedin.
Starting point is 01:14:21 Hello, Daniel speaking. Oh, hi, Daniel. Hello, it's Jimmy Carr calling. Hello, Daniel speaking. Oh, hi, Daniel. Hello, it's Jimmy Carr calling. Hello, hello. Are you on a flight back from Dunedin? Yes. I think maybe you should stay in Dunedin. There's a lot of people there that are more,
Starting point is 01:14:37 I don't want to be rude to the people of Dunedin, but they're more your speed. The kind of people that would make love to a Hoover. Maybe inbred people that are missing the top lip. That kind of thing. There's a very butch lesbian community there. I just think you would fit in.
Starting point is 01:14:56 Look, the reason I'm telling you this is to sugar the pill slightly. I'm going to step in and co-host the show. We don't need your services anymore This has been my dream To be roasted by Jimmy Carr Look, that is an absolute joy
Starting point is 01:15:10 You know what, you've ticked off some bucket list things for me Jimmy, bless you Thank you guys, this has been a real uplifter Jimmy, do you know, on the way down Dan's one of those guys I think I've got the audio here This is what Dan did when the plane landed Alright, round of applause for the pilot Come on got the audio here. This is what Dan did when the plane landed.
Starting point is 01:15:27 Alright, round of applause for the pilot. Come on. Oh, that's adorable, isn't it? I'll be honest with you, I imagine he does a similar thing in an Uber. Just to finish, Jimmy Carr, I'm going to hit you with what you said is the greatest question to ask anybody. That might be a nice way to wrap it up. What was the last
Starting point is 01:15:48 thing you changed your mind about? Oh, that is a great question. Otherwise, you know, have you really been thinking? Have you just been rearranging your prejudices? I don't know. I'm just trying to think what the last thing I changed my mind about. I think maybe that Daniel guy. Maybe he's not so bad.
Starting point is 01:16:04 He is actually. He's quite a quiet taste. Once you do's not so bad. He is actually. He's quite a quiet taste once you do get to know him. He is actually like one of those people that if he's going to be at the thing that you're all meeting up at, if he's there, everyone's going to have a better time. Because through sometimes fault of his own makes every situation more interesting and more funny and more memorable for sure. Yeah, I think he's the, you know what he is? In the sitcom of life, he's the wacky neighbour. Yes, yes!
Starting point is 01:16:33 He's your Kramer. You need a Kramer. We can't all be Seinfeld. Someone's got to be Kramer. It's like you've actually hung out with him before. You've really got to read on him in the few minutes you spoke to him. I think we need to keep this guy on. Obviously, we've got to cut his wages,
Starting point is 01:16:47 but let's keep him on. Okay, great. He's the best in his price range for sure. At least that's what I hear. The best in his price range is a great tagline. Please welcome Daniel, best in his price range. I love how you interviewed Jimmy Carr and made the whole thing about me.
Starting point is 01:17:06 I wasn't even there. We chatted about a few other bits and pieces. We spoke for about a quarter of an hour. Right. Lovely, lovely guy. Yeah, 13 shows across New Zealand come Jan and tickets are on sale now at jimmycarr.com. Hopefully we're getting him in the studio as well when he's here. Yeah, that'd be great.
Starting point is 01:17:20 Clint, Meg and Dan. Clint, Meg and Dan's scandal. Who's to it? We, Amy Lou Wood's feelings. Bless her. So Amy Lou Wood, yeah, you can probably best describe her as she's a sweet English actress and she has teeth that are quite prominent, that you know her for her teeth. She's very proud of them.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Only the front two, right? Yeah, the front two, sort of. And they're almost, you would, I guess, describe them as buck, but she's talked a lot about it. This is her first real break into America television with The White Lotus compared to Sex Education because she has spoken out about how awesome it is that people are discussing her teeth
Starting point is 01:17:58 and saying that they really suit her and they're so happy that she didn't get them changed and veneers. And Hollywood at the moment, even people that are born with beautiful straight teeth like people like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, go and get veneers because they could be straighter and whiter. You're right. Yeah, like everybody, like I follow Formula One. Daniel
Starting point is 01:18:15 Ricciardo, who is an Australian Formula One driver, when he first started his career, had quite crooked teeth. Yeah. At the end of it, veneers. Yeah, veneers. Veneers. Happens all the time. It doesn't happen to her. I feel like it won. She seems like a really sweet down the tooth. I wouldn't have thought that would be the thing he would fix. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:29 If he was going to fix anything. And I think a lot of the time, if you're comfortable, it's making you uncomfortable. I got Invisalign because I was uncomfortable with my teeth. They were crooked. And I got them fixed. I mean, I think there's a difference between maybe having crooked teeth, which most people would straighten,
Starting point is 01:18:44 versus having like unique teeth. Like these front two that are a little bit larger, I always there's a difference between maybe having crooked teeth, which most people would straighten, versus having like unique teeth. Like these front two that are a little bit larger, I almost find quite endearing. It makes her quite different and unique. She stands out. And she also, I think it's really cool, clearly doesn't have filler and Botox with the amount of facial expressions and stuff that she can do. But she did an interview recently. I'm doing a little backtrack here because she said, someone told me how much Mike, Mike White, the creator of White Lotus, had fought for me.
Starting point is 01:19:07 They said, it had to be you, no matter what HBO said. And she was like, oh! Why didn't HBO want me? What did HBO say? Oh, yeah, so then she started talking about exactly that. She started going, why didn't they want me? And she got in her head and started talking about
Starting point is 01:19:23 imposter syndrome. She said it was, I know it was from the nicest place, but my head goes, HBO didn't want me. I know why HBO didn't want me. It's because I'm ugly. Mike had to say, please let me have the ugly girl, like all this stuff in my head. But what people have taken, or people by media,
Starting point is 01:19:43 have taken from that story is that Amy Lou was told she was ugly. And she's like, no. She's like, no, you've taken, like, I was saying in my head, that's what I think they would have thought. It's the imposter syndrome, bad self-confidence thing. She went on to her stories this morning and she said, look, nobody called me ugly at HBO. I'm saying that's what went through my head when I heard that they had to fight for me.
Starting point is 01:20:05 But. What did they say though? HBO was like, no, we did think you were angry. I want to know what they were talking about. She said, while I'm in honest mode, I did find the SNL skit, Mean and Unfunny XO. And this is the skit that was put up, I think, just last night. And I'm having these insane ideas, like what if we took all the fluoride out of the drinking water?
Starting point is 01:20:28 But what would that do to people's teeth? Fluoride? What's that? Oh, look, a monkey. I'm going to go kill it and eat it. No, not the monkey. That was obviously an actress trying to be her, but her teeth were very prominent fake teeth. In the skit.
Starting point is 01:20:50 In the skit. Yeah. And she was like, oh, I think that's probably a little too far on that one. I think that's very punching down. With comedy, I think you always want to be punching up, don't you? You want to be punching up, like taking the piss out of maybe like your Donald Trumps,
Starting point is 01:21:03 your people that are really famous on the top of the echelon. Yes, yes, yes. But when you're punching down to an actress that obviously... Starting out, she's got normal teeth or natural teeth. But that makes me think that she does have insecurities about her teeth then. Because if she didn't, she'd be like, well, funny, like I don't care, I love my teeth.
Starting point is 01:21:19 If she's now offended by the joke, that makes me think she doesn't love her front teeth. But they also made her sound really stupid. So stupid and unattractive. Yeah, but her character in White Lotus isn't highly intelligent. So wouldn't you just be like, oh, they're just mocking my character in White Lotus if they've seen me...
Starting point is 01:21:34 Maybe, but actually... Because they're talking about the monkeys, and the monkeys are relating to, obviously, Thailand and the White Lotus in that season. I think there's only so much toughness you can have as a young woman in the industry in Hollywood. Like, you can say, yeah, I'm proud of my teeth. I'm keeping them. But if you're constantly
Starting point is 01:21:46 having people make fun of them in TV shows and stuff, it would be hard for anyone, right? I can see how it happens. Even if she thinks they're cool. I used to be so self-conscious. Like if you look at photos of me like 10 years ago
Starting point is 01:21:55 before I had the braces, I would just smile. I'd smile not showing teeth. I'd smile like not opening my mouth because I'd always just think in the back of my head, oh God, people look at that and go, oh God, he's got crooked teeth. Teeth is a real thing. I'd smile like, not opening my mouth because I'd always just think in the back of my head, oh God,
Starting point is 01:22:05 people look at that and go, oh God, he's got crooked teeth. Teeth is a real thing. I think it's awesome that she's like, kind of owning it. Same.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Yeah. Okay, so producer Carl, what's that bounce back? If you want to see the sketch, you can see what I'm talking about. Should I make it teeth? The bounce back,
Starting point is 01:22:20 text teeth? Or Amy, but yeah, just make it teeth. Amy's probably easier to spell. Amy, I'll do it. Okay. This keyword's always easier to spell. Amy, I'll do it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:25 Okay. His keyword's always out the gate. Yeah. Okay. Next on the show, we've got a bit of an update on an idea we threw out at 7 o'clock with Easter Megs. And if you want to see a photo of Carl, just text the word ginger to 3343 and you'll see a photo of him there as well.
Starting point is 01:22:41 Clint, Meg and Dan. Hey, good news, Meg. Yes, I've heard that. I think, is it the Devonport Chocolate Company has come to the play? Table. Table, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:52 Come to the play. Is there something about play? Yeah. Is there a saying about playing? I don't know. Up with the play. They've come to the table with Meg eggs for Easter
Starting point is 01:23:00 because chocolate is really expensive this year and we were saying I have a name that could be made into a chocolate egg. Yeah, we're just adding M to the, you know, Meg, aren't we? I don't know who came up with it or how long it took them. Iggy Meggy.
Starting point is 01:23:12 But are they eggs or are they your body or are they your face? Yeah, we've got some questions. Body FX said that they, because they're going to have to work in with Devonport to make the mould because I think behind the scenes, we're just cars being talking to them, Devonport Chocolate said, mould because I think behind the scenes, just Carl's been talking to them, Devonport Chocolate said, we'll do all the chocolate stuff as long as you can give us a mould.
Starting point is 01:23:28 Is that right? Yeah, so like both these companies have reached out and said they're keen to be involved, which is great because Devonport Chocolate couldn't make the mould. But Body Effects were like, we could do this. A collab. Yeah, a little collab. Carl, is it going to be like a preg-meg-egg,
Starting point is 01:23:41 like a full body, like an Easter bunny, or more just shoulders up? I think, well, so one thing that Body Effects have said is that there will be, like, less detail in the face, the, like, more body there is. So I think maybe we should go for, like, a shoulders up kind of vibe. Right. Okay. And do more of my face.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Yeah, because you've got an iconic face. You've got a very, you know, lots of... Iconic? Nobody has ever said that about me. Well, I think you've got big cheekbones, beautiful lips, beautiful nose. And so I think if they can really own that, it'd look like you. So do you think that's better that we just do the face, Dan? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:24:11 It's up to Meg. I mean, she's the one that's getting her body moulded. I know, but do you think it's better because you seem quite excited about just doing the face? I think just the face. Just the face. You don't want to do what's wrong with my body. I mean, it depends. I don't know how much chocolate
Starting point is 01:24:25 they've got. That's all. 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? It's the same with everybody.
Starting point is 01:24:36 If Dan doesn't know, if Devonport chocolate has enough chocolate to make a mould of Meg's body. No, it'll be the same. I prefer just my face because I don't want a mould of my whole body. Yeah. And I think you should be the same, Meg.
