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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Clinchella.
I prefer Gagachella.
Gagachella.
Gagachella.
Clinchella works.
It feels like a baby festival, though.
It does.
It does with Gagachella.
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
She also completed
250 hours of community
service when placed
on supervised release
for one year.
Yeah.
Insane.
God, that was a good
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sure.
You're the best.
You're the best.
Wow.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky boot.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Scandal.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
Nah, babe.
Brilliant.
Feel good?
Sorry would be good.
Yeah.
Just sorry at the end
of it.
And that's scandal.
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
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.
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?
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.
Okay now
normally
the three of
us would
happily fall
on the sword
and go you
know what
it's our
fault but
Paddy is here
from engineering
and it's
probably his
fault.
He's circling
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
to the supermarket
on the weekend
they are
insanely expensive
to the point where
like they're unaffordable
for a normal
average family
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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?
$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.
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.
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.
$2.50.
$2.50?
Yeah.
$11.99
Wow
Very clear
Colin has not done
grocery shopping
Yeah
And just so you know
you can obviously
get them on sale
at some places
but at this stage
$11.99
for
in theory
three marshmallows
Do you know where
you can get them on sale?
Where?
Next weekend
Ooh
Okay
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.
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.
$12.
I'll leave it at $19.
Yeah.
Nine bucks.
Clint,
you're very,
very close.
Recommended retail price of $11.50.
I just said
$12.
Oh, did you say,
oh, okay.
Nah, but
I said nine bucks, Meg.
Yeah,
and I prefer
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
$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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
What a posse.
What a posse, eh?
Lady Gaga had,
was,
Wait,
how did that feel
coming out of your mouth?
Not great, Clint.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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...
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
But again,
that's one of the
hardest instruments
of the three.
Can we see Meg
doing this?
Friendsman,
you're a badass.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Okay.
No?
Well. I think think you know,
look,
you're comparing me
to Alton Don.
I mean, yeah.
Piano man.
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
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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!
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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...
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
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I think you would look good.
Yeah.
Right.
What kind of chocolate would you like, Meg?
I think I like a dark.
Oh, not too dark if we're doing just the face.
I think you should go probably white chocolate.
I instantly feel like I'm remembering
Are you definitely
not a dark garner?
Oh,
have we thought about this?
Oh,
we're going to have to go
white chocolate.
We can't go,
we can't go.
Oh,
you can make exemptions
for Easter.
What about if we do
the caramelised ones
so it's like
caramel sort of vibe.
Up to you,
babe,
it's your face.
A little.
You don't want to be done
for blackface
and the chocolate.
Oh, for God's sake.
Alright, watch this place.
This is why we have
these brainstorms off here.
Easter Megs.
Coming to a store near you.
