This is a podcast from Rover.
Some podcasts educate, some inspire.
We do neither. Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today.
This is the Clint, Megan, Dan podcast.
As the nation slowly wakes up from their slumber,
these three have been awake for hours.
Crafting their finest content, preparing the latest in music and celeb news,
restocking the prize cupboard and sharpening their wit. And now they're ready. Put down
your coffee, fasten your seatbelt and turn up your radio because it's time for Clint
and turn up your radio because it's time for Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning 6 o'clock Tuesday. Short week Tuesday.
Yes. Good morning. What are you doing for Matalika? I think I asked this yesterday.
I'm actually going away to Melbourne for three days. Yeah he had to go to Matalika so much he's going to Aussie.
Oh now it was just a coincidence. I'll be celebrating it over there. I'm actually going away to Melbourne for three days. Yeah, he had to go to Aotearoa so much he's going to Aussie.
Oh, now it was just a coincidence.
I'll be celebrating it over there.
Yeah, well I'm heading up north to celebrate it.
You can see the stars better up there.
I'll piss off, you're not going up for that.
Yeah, I'll send you a photo when you're in Aussie.
Yeah, I'll send it over there and go, this is what it looks like in Ruakaka.
My daughter's kind's making a soup.
Oh wow, that's the win.
Hopefully it's a minestrone.
I don't know what it's going to be, but we get to go and we'll have this soup made by three-year-olds, so that's going to be...
Ooh, that sounds like a gastro waiting to happen.
I don't know if I'd want that.
You're so right, eh?
Kids with their dirty ass hands touching all the ingredients.
The other funny thing is, is like everyone's had to bring a vegetable.
So I'm like, there's been no like Meg you bring a kumara, like Zoe you bring a carrot.
It's like just bring a vegetable.
And I'm like, well bloody hell, like what if somebody brings a lettuce?
Or like, are you just going to put them all in?
Everybody's bringing carrot. It'll be a carrot soup.
Yeah, you're right, because there'll be double ups, because no one's allocated a vegetable.
No one's allocated such a strange soup.
Yuck.
Ah, they're probably like, you know what, parents just don't need more admin in their life.
Just any vegetable will make it work.
Yeah, exactly, which is lovely. I'm really excited.
Oh, I look forward to that for you, Meg.
Soup family, you know.
What are your plans for Matariki weekend?
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
Time for a 6am throwback, but we did ask what you're up to for the long weekend.
Kamila says it's my birthday on Friday.
Staycation in the city.
Oh Kamila, happy birthday to you.
Oh good.
Good on you.
Staycations are great.
Someone's going to see Central Sea?
Kind of excited they say.
Kind of excited, so not fully excited.
Or maybe they're doing that thing like, I'm kind of excited, you know, like playing it down.
Or you're one of those people
that doesn't get too excited until the, you know,
cause otherwise you start wishing your days away.
I actually think she's probably,
there's been a big breakup between Central Sea and Mads.
So she's probably just like, Mads is way cooler,
she's team Mads, but she's going to support her ex-boyfriend.
And even though he's a bit of a dick to his girlfriends,
he makes good music.
So Mads is a bit like, oh, well, I don't like what you did. Is is a bit like oh well I don't like what you did I mean Ed Zara is like I don't
like what you did to Maddie but I see what you mean you know you guys don't know the
drama between Maddie and C.S.S.
No, no, no.
No one was pretending I did.
No.
But I hear it's dramatic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes very dramatic. Today, back in 1987, the genius, the superstar that is Kendrick Lamar was born.
Now, Kendrick Lamar, what can I say about him?
We talked about him.
Go on Dan, go on. What can you say about Kendrick Lamar, Dan?
He's a rapper. He won a Grammy as well. I remember he won a Grammy for best rap performance.
He's done the Super Bowl. He was on a song with ASAP Rocky called F'n Problems. Wasn't he?
This is the guy Meg, and this is topical because we're doing this today.
He was. This is the guy who said Kendrick Lamar was an A-lister.
Undisputable.
And he's struggling to even explain who he is and what he does.
I know he's super famous, even though I know who he is and I'm not into rap.
Now that shows you he's an A-lister.
Okay.
He...
You know, he's...
He's from the West Coast.
You're reading that out.
You're reading that out, yeah.
He was no...
Oh, I didn't know he was from the West Coast.
Oh, make him an A-lister then. He's from the West Coast? You're reading that out, yeah.
Oh, I didn't know he was from the West Coast. Oh, make him an A-Lister then.
Kendra did get put on the B-List though, last week.
Which I think he was robbed from the A-List.
No, but we made a deal.
So I was like, right, if you come down to B-List, I'll also remove Vince Vaughan from A,
and we made a deal because we couldn't decide.
Sorry, B-Listers Anne Hathaway, Chris Pratt, Jim Carrey, Vince Vaughan and Kendrick Lamar.
Oh did we put them both at A or B?
No, they both at B.
That's B, sorry.
That's a shame.
So that's back again at 7 o'clock this morning.
Our chance to argue about different celebrities that can and can't make the A-List, Producer
Kyle.
I want to know an interesting fact about Kendrick.
He's big.
Sorry, I can see you scrambling.
He's one of the only artists in modern history
who is the only rapper to ever win the Pulitzer Prize.
So basically that's like a poet society
with like Shakespeare and like yeah,
he's like put on the list kind of thing
and he won the prize.
Wow.
Bob Dylan's won that I think as well.
Yeah, there's no other artists on it. so he's good man. He is very good. I mean the only thing I
would argue is that like to play him for a 6am throwback he's not really a
throwback artist. I mean this song is a little bit older, Swimming Pools, King Kunta.
Dan what's your favourite throwback from Ken Hiltemar? It would have to be Having Problems.
Well that's an ASAP Rocky song.
Yeah but he features on it, so technically...
Humble would probably be the oldest Kendrick song radio play wise I would say.
This would only be, this would what, 5 years? 6?
Yeah 5 or 6 years.
7 maybe. Oh, I mean going against Kendrick is dangerous, but
The um, the Heim have just released a new song and they had the wire about 12 years ago
You know that song? Their first big hit, the wire. No one likes that. Imagine if we I'm just gonna ID card.
I know put the Heim instead of Kendrick. I think Kendrick has to win.
Can you stop calling them The Heim as well?
That's boomer airs.
This was the first ever song I backstalled when I started a dance.
That makes sense.
Really guys, it's the Heim with The Heim.
It's The Heim.
No, I didn't.
I mean Meg, I'm happy to pivot with if you want
I just think it's funny that Dad's been three minutes talking about Kendrick Lamar
and then you just say can we play Hymne out of nowhere we did
No she didn't say let's play Hymne, she said let's play The Hymne
Lime!
Oh my god
She's getting confused with Black Eyed Peas when I go Lime!
Lime!
Okay well, for Miff and Clint you gotta choose
Mmm, it's up to you, Is it Haim or Kendrick?
Producer Carl?
Can I put a vote in for that Black Eyed Peas song that's got like Haim in it?
Yeah, actually.
If Haim are from the West Coast, I'm playing it.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
I love this text.
Can't believe you hyped up Kendrick and then sacked it for Haim.
I know.
Kendrick, are we gonna throw back us to be 10 years old
and this song's only eight?
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Sit down.
You know, there's a question for you.
Okay.
You know when you go through
the supermarket self-service checkout
and you buy, say you're buying some nuts,
pick and mix or a fruit or something
where you have to key in the code.
Oh, here we go go you're gonna say, are you gonna say that you steal them or you do them cheaper?
You thief you.
No.
Okay.
No.
What I was gonna say is until you rudely interrupted me, is sometimes what I'll do is I'll
have the nuts, say I've got some almonds, some tamari almonds, is that what you call them?
The ones where they've got the like dusting on the top that makes them taste delicious.
And I'll put in, start typing almond, and then it'll come up with all the different versions of almonds.
I'll always go the cheapest option.
Oh yeah, what Meg said.
Why don't I just say that you do your bloody thing.
But I'm still paying for them.
You're the, but no you, what? But if you, but it's, it's, it's not the pricing, you know what?
You wanted the delicious dusting, but you don't want to pay for delicious dusting but you don't want to pay for the dust. I don't pay for the dust
The cameras now Dan you can go to jail. They're not sending me to jail for some imagine that what are you in here for?
Dan's like
I keep tamari almonds in
I'm definitely not dropping the soap in the showers of it when I'm in there for that. I do have definitely not a
Definitely not dropping the soap in the showers when I'm in there for that, eh?
Definitely not.
Do you have an excuse in your head
that if somebody would have come up and go,
actually, those are Tamari almonds,
I see you've just inkied them in his almonds.
Yeah, and I'd go, Jesus, you've got good eyes.
Second of all, did not realize.
Oh yeah.
So you just played ignorance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those aren't kiwi fruit, they're mandarins, bugger.
I couldn't quite see.
Yeah.
So yeah, look, is that not a thing?
I mean, it is.
It's officially stealing though, isn't it?
But the supermarkets are always winning.
Why can't a little man be winning for once?
I don't know.
I don't know what mum and dad did,
but I have this really, this like fear
of getting in trouble with authority.
Like even when I was like in high school,
and everyone were like, we're wagging.
Like when lunchtime hits,
we're gonna gap it across the field and we're wagging.
I was like, okay.
So then I'd go to the nurse and be like,
I'm not feeling well.
So she'd give me a pass to have the rest of the day off.
I'd chuck that in my back pocket
and they'd be like, yeah, let's wag.
And then when all the boys eventually got popped for it,
I wouldn't get in trouble and they never knew how.
And I was like, well, because me and the nurse
had already got an explained absence? I would have thought that Dan was the baddest bitch on the
show. I am a bad bitch. You know I was interviewed by police once as well
because I was an accessory. So bad! They were like we need to interview him. No I was
an accessory to theft so my friend Mark I, when I was at primary school, went to
Wickles and Botany Downs and he stole a porn mag. And Wickles, they don't have dirty mags.
They definitely did Clint, they had a whole rack of them. Okay and I remember
they were in plastic bag, like plastic packets and he put it down his pants
and we were like and he was like just let's just walk out. And I
remember the security guard went like excuse me and we were like and he was like just let's just walk out. We walked out and I remember the security guard went like excuse me and we turned
around because I was with him at the time and he said what's that show me what's
down your pants and he pulled and he pulled out the porn mag and he got
interviewed and took to security they called his parents.
And what did you say in your interview as an accessory to a thieving?
They let me go,
because I didn't have it down my pants, did I?
But they told me off as well.
Did you knock him again?
It was all him.
It was him, yep, pointed to him.
They knew it was him though, they saw him doing it.
Wow, did you stay friends with Marcus?
Not really, no, we're not friends at all anymore.
I don't know what he's doing, I think he's in prison.
I should genuinely think he took a different line of life to me.
That was the start of his crime.
That was the light fork in the road.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Let's go!
Sorry, I'm so sad about Justin.
I really am guys.
I thought you were saying that no one's won the 10 grand yet.
No, no. I just, I hate this story.
Clinton, Megan, Dan, scandal.
It just feels like we're watching it in front of our eyes.
It's the same as, not that I like Kanye West at all, can I get that straight,
but remember watching, it just feels wrong watching somebody have a mental break so publicly.
Same with Britney when she did.
If that is what's happening with Justin at the moment, he's been very erratic.
It's very similar behaviour to when Kanye West was having that very public one and everyone
was eating it up and going, what's he going to post next?
What's he going to say next?
And this morning Justin has been posting just a few hours ago.
He did post yesterday a conversation, which we don't know who it's with, but somebody
texted him saying, I'm not used to someone lashing out at me.
It's not that I don't see and feel your anger we have no idea who text him that
but he replied ouch this friendship is officially over I will never accept a man calling my anger
lashing out which I don't believe he's in the right there I enjoyed our short-lived relationship I
wasn't kidding when I told you I didn't need you as a friend I have good friends who will respect
my boundaries I will never suppress my emotions for someone.
Conflict is a part of relationship.
If you don't like my anger, you don't like me."
I also highly disagree with that statement.
You shouldn't have to put up with somebody else's anger.
And if somebody is putting it on you, you don't need to absorb that.
I think that's a really scary mindset to have.
That it's like, well, if you love me, you have to accept my anger all the time. That's actually not quite right
and how it should be. I don't know if he's trying to say something else along the lines
of like, hey, I'm gonna, you know, when you have like, for worse or for better, what's
the vows?
Better or for worse.
Yeah, you had it.
It was close.
It was the wrong way.
And then this morning morning he posted more.
He said he's, if you want to know where I'm parked,
he put up photos very close of his face, eyes closed again,
like not looking right.
And then he put up this song I've got in the background here.
You can see him singing along to it.
And it's him just zooming in on a bong. Legal in the state he lives in or not?
I believe so.
Oh okay.
There he is.
It just...
They need to put him on prepay, I reckon, so that he just... Put him on prepay, that's the answer!
Sorry Justin, we're taking off your $80 a month plan, putting you on pay...
Well then he just, when he films videos, he'll be like, I can't post because he's got no data.
I think Justin Bieber would be able to sort that out.
He'd be able to just get another prepay card, Clint.
Because he's filming stuff late at night and going, I'm going to chuck that up.
How many of us have done that?
And we woke up in the morning going, oh my God, how long has that been up?
But it's definitely broad daylight that he's posted it.
Oh, I just imagined him in a car.
No, no, no.
Oh, God, that's a funny looking bong.
I would have made it.
That was a coffee maker or something.
I would have made a coffee in it.
Dude, oh, sorry, Justin.
Who wants a coffee?
Can you take a fancy a cuppa?
You'd have got got a filter.
Jokes aside though, from what I'm seeing on his social media and stuff,
it's take what you want from it, but it looks like someone that is not well.
You know, when you put everything together and it's so sad,
it's someone that's clearly, whether he thinks he is or not, crying for help.
But he's got a great mum and a great wife and surely they would be
like right we got to sort you out mate but then I guess if someone doesn't want
help maybe that's easier said than done. I've never experienced that thankfully
with like someone going through like a an episode or addiction or whatever to
that kind of level. And you've got to remember that he's had his whole adult
life and some of his kid life as well people just telling him yes. You know
people going yeah we can do that.
Yes.
Since he was 12.
And so can you imagine if someone like his mum or anybody came up to him and said, Justin,
you know, you can't be doing this.
Yeah.
You keep saying that the only person who can judge him is Jesus.
That's like his kind of main.
Bugga.
Yeah.
That's a clean spot.
And Jesus is unbelievably forgiving.
So, I imagine gonna mention Jesus.
He's quite busy at the moment with other shit going on.
I don't know if Justin Bieber's his biggest issue.
Yeah, I feel really sorry for the guy.
Me too, me too.
I hope that in the coming weeks,
hopefully in the coming weeks,
there'll be like some sort of a turnaround.
We'll be like, oh my God, great.
Yeah, okay.
Easy Money coming up at seven o'clock.
Your chance to answer 10 questions in 30 seconds
for $10,000.
Can you do it?
We got seven out of 10 at seven o'clock.
I feel like the seven o'clock showing is better than eight.
Yeah, we're banging on the door of getting it.
There's people that are just scraping by.
We're close.
We just need you to be a touch faster.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
Getting to know everyone that listens to our show nice and early, one at a time.
Can I get, get that?
No, no, no, no.
You better, better, baby.
I wanna get to know.
What are we getting to know this morning, team?
We're getting to know Andrew.
Andrew works as a distribution manager.
He drives a Ford Ranger.
He has two staffies.
A star sign is Scorpio and three kids,
15, 13 and 11.
Wow.
A few busy six years.
Yeah that is.
Morning Andrew.
15, 13 and 11.
Damn Andrew, how were those six years for you?
Um, you know.
You got three?
Personal question Andrew, are you still married?
No. You know how it helps. Personal question, Andrew, are you still married?
No, no.
You're right.
Yeah.
And did the marriage end around that six years
that Ben's talking about?
Yeah, you're right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We got 17 years.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good innings.
I always wonder, like, I don't think anyone really talks
about that, like genuinely, when you have,
when you're in the trenches with a toddler and a baby,
and I was talking to some guy last night and he had
a three-year-old and then his second were twins so he got two and three in the
same go. How much? It wasn't too bad for us because I was an owner operator for ten years so my wife managed to stay at home.
That's so helpful. Yeah, it was good. What a lady.
People don't really talk about the strain that that puts on a relationship or a marriage.
And because your focus just solely goes into your kids for so long.
Andrew takes before, we were actually thinking about talking about this again.
He takes before because he stole Pickamax.
No, I didn't.
No, no, no.
Sorry, that's been...
I said the lollies are the cheapest. Yes. So everything goes under the lolly code. Don't accuse Andrew of stealing when he did it.
Please.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Distribution managers do not do that.
No, absolutely not.
He doesn't want his squeaky clean image tarnished with stealing.
Yeah, no, very much so.
Okay then, what's Andrew's favourite lolly?
That's today's question.
It's like you're making them up on the spot.
What?
What do you mean?
It's always the same question.
I'm not making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot.
I'm making them up on the spot. I'm making them up on the spot. I'm making them up on the spot. I'm making them up on the spot. I'm making them up on the spot. Okay then, what's Andrew's favourite lolly? That's today's question.
It's like you're making them up on the spot.
What? What do you mean?
It's always something to do after we get to know Andrew
and I didn't want to talk about his divorce and stuff, you know.
Peaches and cream.
Oh damn you! That's everybody's favourite.
I feel like that one should be banned.
Well no, I gave you enough time to jump in with a confectionery item.
Okay, okay, he's got peaches and cream. They are the best lollies.
Really? I feel like there's much better lollies out there than peaches and cream.
I think Coke bottles are like a bit of a sitter too, if you want to marry.
I'm gonna go then, Clint's second favourite for some reason.
He likes a hard toffee, like a Macintosh.
Jesus, you guys are boomers, eh?
Okay, well what's your lolly pack?
I reckon Andrew is a sour snakes kind of guy.
You know, he likes a bit of kick in his lolly,
and I think he would never even touch a Macintosh.
So anything sour goes to Dan, anything hard toffee goes to me, and anything else goes to Clint.
Andrew, you're at the pick and mix, what are you picking?
I'm just gonna give it to all of you, because I just ate the whole lot of lollies.
He's just a sweet tooth in general.
Now, I don't know.
Can we allow Andrew to do that?
Let's say you got given a kilo of macintoshes,
sour snakes, or peaches and cream.
What are you going? You had to pick only one.
Be the macintosh.
Oh, really?
Hell yeah, Andrew. Really?
The coconut go hard, Andrew.
Yeah.
I can't believe it.
The worst lolly of all time.
I one time was like so craving a coconut Mcintosh that I Uber-eats like four bags of Mcintosh lollies.
What a loser.
Just four bags of Mcintosh lollies and I ripped them open and I got twelve and four bags I got twelve coconut ones.
Isn't that the absolute sign of wealth eh?
That you can just afford to Uber-eat four packets of lollies and throw most of them out.
One craving, yeah the rest went in the bin.
Yeah, that was probably a bottle of wine deep at the time.
Thought it would be a good idea.
Clint Reynolds sat there nodding at everybody.
It was probably like a 1987 cab sab as well.
Andrew, thanks for playing along this morning. We're going to send you to Z and get yourself a little treatie.
Cheers.
Cool, thanks Andrew. Join Z Rewards on the Z app and fill up with fuel discounts, points and treats.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Stinky Boots.
You may not have a story for this and if you don't then good on you.
I'm not a thief but...
I think everybody will have a story.
You know they've stolen at one point.
Dan was talking about him and his mate stole a dirty magazine.
Last year or the year before?
It was many, many years ago when I was at primary school.
His name was Mark and we were very good friends
and we went into Wickles and I remember-
That blows my mind that Wickles sold dirty mags.
Yeah.
Yeah they did and they'd be in plastic packets.
Yes you could flick through.
Yeah and they'd have like blacked out stuff
over the boobies and stuff so you couldn't see it
until you opened the plastic bag.
Yeah I used to try and peek so bad. I remember mark used to have
Down his pants we went out and the security guy I was such a goody two shoes that I remember like when United video was
Still a thing and for the young audience used to go and get these like movies and you'd read them for like three days at
A time or whatever and they used to have like the the bakery. Yeah
What is that like the ribbons door bits it's not a door, it's like plastic ribbons yeah like when you walk into a
bakery and stop flyers and it would be like R18 area and I'd be lucky if I even snuck a
glimpse from like five meters away from the door I never went in there ever
they always have real weird names eh the movies like Titsahoe 3. Did they? Yeah, Batman and Throbbin.
And Diana Jones.
And Diana Jones, yeah that was a classic.
And the Temple of Poon.
Yeah, there was lots of good ones.
Bridgette's a cow.
Harry Pointer in the Chamber of Secrets.
Okay.
See I think this is, what about this text?
I've never seen that one if I'm honest.
That's great bro, you should watch today.
I'll lend it to you.
So you're wanting to do like,
I'm not a thief but sort of calls, right?
Yeah.
But this text, when me and my friends were kids,
we used to steal money out of the honesty box
and we took over about 200 bucks and spent it on lollies.
Now, the thing is, here we go, here we go Dan.
So what do you say?
No, that is thieving.
101, black and white thieving.
But, they were a kid.
They don't know. Do you think, well when does a kid end? You know, 15?
No, no. I reckon before the age of 10 as a kid. Once you're over 10 you should know better.
Oh, so intermediate?
Yeah.
No pass.
Yeah, and I think I was probably 11 when my friend stole the ball and mag, so I should have known better.
And Meg ended up stealing from Disneyland.
She did too.
Yeah, I did.
Mickey Mouse, when he found out,
Meg told us three years later,
Mickey Mouse actually came on the show.
He was so disappointed in Meg.
Gave her a big telegram.
What did you steal?
I stole four little necklaces,
which were about $12 each,
and I gave them to my friends
because I had no money to give them as a
gift. Remember, Clinto, I didn't get anything myself, it's still no good. And I thought to myself, well
Disney literally would have made that back within, not even a split second, you know, we're talking about 60 bucks.
What did they make? You know, it's still not right. It's not right. It's not right. It's not right. It's not right.
It's not right. Josh is on the phone. He's
gonna admit to something. You're not right. It's not right. It's not right. It's not right. Josh is on the phone. He's gonna admit to something.
You're not a thief, but Josh.
Hey guys.
Yeah, what have you stolen?
Well, back in the day, you know, you do all the self-checkout and
used to put the pizza bread through with a 60 cent bun.
Now this is the murky area, isn't it?
Where you go, hold on, I'm just taking a small win from the supermarket, I'm paying full
price for everything else.
And Josh, you're not using your one phone call to tell us this story, are you from prison?
No, not quite.
Okay, good.
Sounds like you're just in the...
Oh, go on.
There's more.
First time caller, long time listener.
Oh, first time caller,! That's what's got you through! For the first time, forever! Hello stranger, for the first time.
What I also like about Josh is that he's like back in the day using self-checkout.
I feel like they still exist.
Yeah, yeah.
But Josh bans himself now because he's like, I can't be trusted.
Yeah, yeah.
He was an early adopter.
Oh, early adopter. Early adopter.
Before they had all the stuff in there where you couldn't steal now.
Just wrapping up, I'm not a thief but...
If you've got a story, 0800 there, Joe Texas, 3343.
And then we gotta get into easy money coming up in probably about three or four minutes.
Yeah, you're not a thief but, you know, you dabbled in thievery, maybe stealing in your youth.
And you're wanting to admit it. Zara's called through.
Oh no, Sarah, sorry.
That's all, she's changed her ways.
Morning, Sarah.
Morning.
So what have you stolen?
Admit it, come on.
When I was a toddler, my grandma took me to the shops
and I stole a Morro bar.
But she didn't know until halfway home
and she looked in my pram and saw me eating it.
Yeah.
She was-
Pram? How old were you?
What was that?
How old were you? You were in your pram and you stole.
Oh, like two or three.
Oh!
Oh, so she didn't know.
She just grabbed something and said,
that looks nice.
I had that.
It's almost Nana's fault for not paying for it.
Yeah, and I think if you're gonna steal a chocolate bar,
don't go for a Morrow.
Jesus, the worst of all the chocolate bars.
Yeah, what are you up to?
All sorts of wrongness here.
Yeah, go for a Snickers or something.
Did Nana go back and pay for it or what?
Yeah, she did.
She was so embarrassed.
Bless her.
Good on her.
Good on us, Nana.
And what about you, Zara?
You work at a supermarket.
Yeah, so it's not me personally but I've seen people like at self checkouts putting in different
codes and different items or like walking out with things and I don't mind. I don't
say anything.
Oh where's the supermarket you own? I want to go there.
I don't think she owns it, Clem.
So if I come into your supermarket, Zara, and get a $70 electric toothbrush and bring it up as a tomato,
and you're turning a blind eye, are ya?
Okay, brilliant.
Zara's like, I don't like...
I don't get paid enough for this shit, I don't care.
I don't like conflict and insecurity. I don't get paid enough for this shit, I don't care. I don't like conflict, I ain't security.
Yeah, I don't think that's the views of Woolworth's group though.
That would be really tricky though, if you're, like you say, if you're working checkouts
and you're like, well, I don't like confrontations.
So that's, how do I...
Especially if somebody seems, you know, bigger than you or aggressive.
And to be fair, you're not a security guard, are you?
You're there to kind of, kind of troubleshoot and serve customers.
And some people are so ballsy with it
that they almost seem like they know what they're doing.
You know when somebody does something so confidently,
you go, are they allowed to do that?
I do that all the time.
I think it's harder to do it now as well with the cameras
because they've got the cameras facing down,
double-checking everything.
Or if you reek of BO, are you allowed to steal deodorant?
That's a tricky one because you really are sort service. Melissa, you get a pass then.
Thank you for your text. And Hannah's text through saying, Dan you can't tell me
Snickers is better than Morrow. Definitely. Morrow is the worst of all the chocolate bars.

Hi guys.
Hi Jen.
Hey Jen, you're even slower replying to your name.
Come on, we're gonna have to up the speedy
if we want $10,000.
Oh God, I'm just getting ready.
Okay, well you should be ready by now because we're about to do this.
Jen, have you been setting alarms every day to play Easy Money?
Yeah, since the beginning.
Okay, good on you.
Jennifer?
And now is your moment.
Your letter is V.
V, okay. What was that? V is V.
V, okay.
What was that? V.
V.
Like the energy drink.
V.
Okay.
Good luck, Jen.
Okay.
You can do this.
Here we go.
I've got my celebration music ready for you, Jen.
Name a planet.
Venus.
Something you buy in the supermarket. Vegetables. A woman's
name. Vanessa. A movie. Valentine's Day. A city. Venezuela. An actor. Vanessa Hudgens.
A musical instrument. Violin.
Something you wear.
Velvet.
Something that uses power.
Video games.
Oh, yeah, I don't think that's a B word.
That's an F word, you naughty, naughty girl.
She won one ago.
That was bloody good though. Would we have given Vanessa Hudgenson?
She corrected herself though.
I know she does fight right?
Yeah I think so.
The last one that was gonna be
was something you can put things in.
Ooh.
Buzz.
Yeah.
Oh man so you got through nine,
you needed one more Jan I told you needed to be quick.
Jan.
It's okay I'll keep setting my alarm.
Yeah. Get on you babe. I can see why she does it.
She's bloody good at the game.
She was really, really good.
Yeah.
You know what I will say, like Zed,
V's quite easy.
It hones in.
Yeah.
You think it's not going to.
Yeah.
It's a very unique letter.
I also had a question mark on Venezuela.
Did you say a city?
A city.
I have Vienna, Vatican City,
Vienna says Venezuela.
Venezuela says country. Yeah, so I had a question Venice, Venezuela. Venezuela's like the country.
Yeah, so I had a question mark on that.
I was like, I don't think she would have...
So technically I think she got eight
with a question mark for nine.
But god, that was a bloody good showing.
Back again at eight o'clock.
Your chance to play for 10k.
Best of luck.
Clint, Megan, Dan, Stinky Boots.
All right, gloves are off. Here we go.
The A-Lister list. Megan is going to give us three names.
We have to collectively agree on whether they sit
in the A-list, the B-list, or if they're C-listers.
Please also call 0800-EGTXS3343 if you disagree
with both or one of the boys.
Yeah.
Here we go.
We did this as our tease yesterday,
so I'm going to lock it in as an official guess,
since we didn't actually put them in a list.
David Schwimmer.
A, he's B.
Ross from Friends.
He transcends all generations.
He's probably one of the most famous TV personalities
and movie stars in the world.
But the thing is, Clint, he's not on the same plane
as your Brad Pitt's, your Beyonce's, your Tom Cruise's. Okay, David Schw is Clint he's not on the same plane as your Brad Pitt's your Beyonce's your Tom Cruise's
Okay, David Schwimmer. He's famous. Yes, but he's not an a-lister
What does he know how many quotes you and I could both recite from Ross that we can't recite from Tom Cruise movies and Brad
Pitt movies I think is not as iconic. It's not all about quotes Clint if it was the quote
We were on a break I think it's not all about quotes Clint. If it was the quote... Pavette! Pavette! That's a great quote.
We were on a break!
He's still a B-list.
Give me one Tom Cruise quote.
I'm gonna put that one to the side.
One Tom Cruise quote.
Show me the money!
No, that's, yeah, yeah, Tom Cruise.
Please don't help him!
Sorry, I'm in the middle, I like being on the...
You had me at hello.
Okay, too late.
The other one.
Who cares?
Was that him? Yeah, hello. Was that movie?. The other one. Okay. Um, was that him?
Yeah hello.
Was that movie?
Okay, we're gonna put that to the side please.
We need your feedback then on David Schwimmer.
Number two.
A-list, B-list or C-list?
Cher.
Now the thing with Cher is she's got the name with the one name.
Okay, she's been famous for many, many years.
I'm putting her at A.
That's because you have a weird sexual crush on her.
No, it's nothing to do with taking my sexual preferences
out of it, okay?
Yes, Cher is a very attractive 70 year old woman,
but I also think she's famous enough to hit the A list.
It just is.
I also just think about these people.
If they were in the office, how many people would lose their mind?
If Shia came in?
And if Shia came in, yeah, I think she'd...
Would you? Would people go, who's that?
No, they wouldn't. Shia's one of the most recognisable people on the planet.
Faces? You think Shia's one of the most recognisable?
Even though her face is half plastic.
And it's changed so many times.
Okay, are we putting Shia collectively at A?
I'm putting her at...
Yeah, I think she is in A.
Cher is in A.
Wow.
I wanted to put her at B just to piss them off but that's not how I play the game.
This one should also be an easy one so we might just have David Schwimmer as the one we have to debate. Harrison Ford.
He's A.
Oh thank god.
The man is still working. He's done some of the biggest franchises in the world.
Happy days. Just pleased that we got that one on the list. The only done some of the biggest franchises in the world. Wonderful news, happy days.
Just pleased that we got that one on the list.
The only one we don't agree with is David Schwimmer.
But there won't even be any debate on this.
I don't know why.
Oh, yeah, you're right, because Tanya's just text,
Ross Geller is A.
David Schwimmer is not.
David Schwimmer is not.
Yeah, but then somebody said,
unfortunately all actors I would consider A-list,
all the Friends actors are A-list.
That is what somebody else has said.
Not the case.
I think Aniston is the only A-lister from that cast.
I think Ross Geller, David Schwimmer, is B-list at best.
Stacey disagrees as well. She said David is absolutely an A-lister.
Please text us 3343 0800 EAD. We need to know if David Schwimmer is an A-lister or not.
But you can't put him on the same plane as your biggest A-Listers.
Cher, I think Cher and David Trimmer to be at the same. You're kidding me. I'm not.
Cher is prolific.
We're playing the A-Lister game, A-List, B-List or C-List, the boys debate where celebrities
belong. So far, if you were catching up, the A A-list consists of Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Samuel L. Jackson,
Reese Witherspoon, Cher and Harrison Ford. And apparently David Schwimmer.
And David Schwimmer is the person that's up on the B-list and Hathaway Chris Pratt, Jim Carey,
Vince Worm, Kendrick Lamar. We're talking about David Schwimmer from, or Ross Gallif
and Friends. Can I just make a good point before we go to the listeners who will then decide, Meg?
Dan's argument is always, what have they done lately?
What have they done later? They've done nothing lately.
They were an A-lister, but they're not anymore.
OK. The only thing Cher has done lately is an Uber Eats app.
And a Christmas album, which she released about a year ago.
And a younger guy.
And so Dan is going based...
She's doing a lot of stuff.
She's doing a lot.
Based on what she did back in the day, Dan has cemented her A-list status, regardless of the fact she's done nothing in the last 20 years.
Dan, what do you have to say to that?
I would argue that Cher, over the time of her career, has done much more than David Schwimmer did, apart from just one TV show that was famous, Friends.
The best TV show in the world.
Yes, but he was only one small part of that.
And I love David Schwimmer, Clint.
I'm gonna stop you.
David Schwimmer is a great actor,
but he's just not A-list.
He's just not, he's B-list.
Okay, well let's go to the calls.
Gavel, please, Clint, honestly.
He has it both.
Clint, hit my gavel.
Thank you.
I really need my own one.
I don't trust you to not hit it.
I thought you just wanted me to hold it.
Andrea, A-list or B-list?
That's me, total B-list.
I can't even believe.
He's an A-lister.
Get rid of Cher.
Oh, you think Cher should be in B-list
and David Trimmer should be on it?
We're not.
She's totally got to go.
The rest of the list is impressive and she's just like,
ridiculous. She could be a C-lister.
Andrea, you're a C-lister.
Okay, well Andrea's not arguing that to be fair.
No, to be honest, you're a B-list in my eyes, Andrea.
But I still don't just, I still disagree with you.
Cher is very famous.
Okay, we've got one vote for Cher being dropped off the A list and David on to it.
Caleb, A, B or C list for David Schwimmer?
Honestly, low tier B because if you're going to put David Schwimmer as an A then why not
John Wick?
Okay, well John Reeves.
Oh yeah, Keanu Reeves missed out.
Did he go B or C in one of the first rounds
of the A-list a little?
Yeah, he did.
Yeah, I think he'd be the same plane as Keanu Reeves,
David Schwimmer, and that's why they're both on the B-list.
Thanks, Kevin.
Just reading through a few of the texts,
Ross is A-list, David Schwimmer is B-list,
so they're putting the character he played in Friends higher.
Can't separate them.
David is B-list, a lot of B-list suggestions coming through for David Schwimmer.
And then to Lisa, Lisa what's your vote David Schwimmer, A-list or B-list?
Definitely A. He's got that iconic, you know, pivot. Pivot!
Yes!
Hilarious.
Yes, he was actually, if you go back and watch Friends, I think he was the most colourful character out of the six, Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! Havett! David Schwimmer is B-list. I have gone through and been reading through as you guys have been arguing in the background
and have confirmed David Schwimmer is on the B-list.
Sorry Clint.
Oh, that's so mean.
That's still a good list to be on.
I mean, all of us are on like an X-list.
No one's on the C yet, thank God.
Just B-list and A-list.
So bring it back next week.
Shere is our first singer, I think, on the A-List.
And well deserved as well.
Even if you love her or hate her,
everybody knows Shea.
They just do.
Which puts her in the A-List.
Everyone knows Ross from Friends.
No, yeah they do,
but they don't really know David Schwimmer.
I'm sorry, Clint.
The jury has spoken.
David is B-List. We don't really know Brad Pitt either, we just know his character in movies.
Stupidest thing you've ever said. Alright, it's back again. Next week, scandal.
We've got scandal coming next week, what has Chris Evans never done in his life? It's coming up. Got to the A-list.
He won't either. Sad to him actually, he doesn't do anything. He could if he wanted.
Clint, Megan, Dan. Scandal. Chris Evans, Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal still are
doing the old rounds for the materialists movie and doing all the fun
interviews that if you're with a good mate I imagine genuinely is a good time
because everyone tries so hard to do fun interviews
these days, as I've said before.
We've got lie detector tests, we've got quizzes,
we've got what's in your bag.
This one is by New York Times Cooking
and they both have to make the same food next to each other
and then see how it turns out in the end.
Do you think they get sick of doing all these wacky
like interviews?
No, I reckon if you're with one of your mates, it's fun.
I'm sure if you do not like your co-star it must be a pain.
And it'd be nice if you're doing back to back interviews when someone's had a bit of thought
and done something different.
Right?
Instead of just asking the same old questions.
Yeah, I watched this one and Dakota said this one was so much fun.
But I heard Chris Evans, Mr Captain America, has never done something before until this moment.
No, I've never made a pizza.
That's not true, I've made like English muffin pizzas,
but I was 12.
What?
What?
Never made a pizza.
I just thought that was, who's never made a pizza?
Maybe he's so rich that he just doesn't need to.
Who's never, he must have had a time before that
that everyone's made a pizza, haven't they?
What a weird thing to say.
Like of all the things you've never done, he's...
Never made a pizza?
Yeah.
Even when you just buy the own base and you just make little homo pizzas?
Yeah, but then I wonder if it's one of those weird things I got a friend who's like,
I've never had sushi. And I'm like, oh my god, you'd love it.
And then I think they like the claim to fame of being able to say they've never tried sushi,
so they go out of their way to avoid it now.
They're stubbornly just like, I'm never gonna have it.
And everyone's so shocked by it
that it's like a conversation starter for them now.
Yeah, right.
But I don't know if Chris Evans needs
a conversation starter Clint, he's Chris Evans.
I don't know if he's like,
oh, better have that pizza take off my sleeve.
What can I hang my hat on?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, I just found very interesting
that never made a pizza of all the things.
And that is why Dan, you won the game before.
So Clint guessed he'd never eaten a banana
and you said he'd never put jam on toast.
Yeah, so they are slightly closer.
Much closer, I would say.
Well played.
You can check it out online if you want.
The pizza interview, New York Times cooking
with Chris and Koda. Clint, Meg and Dan. And we lose it out online if you want. The pizza interview, New York Times, cooking with Chris and Coda.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
And we lose about 50,000 Kiwis to Aussie a year,
probably for cost of living.
And maybe better weather.
Sunshine.
Yeah.
And there is a new story out at the moment
saying the highest paid jobs in Australia.
The average weekly wage in Australia is $2,100
compared to $1,500 in New Zealand.
Huge difference.
Which is a massive gulf, really.
I think we're about the same in food.
If not, they might be even slightly cheaper.
I don't think it's so different,
but if you're earning $1,000 more, yeah.
I'll tell you what's massively cheaper in Australia, fuel.
Really?
Petrol is way cheaper in Australia.
Yeah, but beer, so much more expensive.
Really?
There's so much tax on alcohol in Australia. So if beer, so much more expensive. Really? There's so much tax on alcohol in Australia.
So if you drink a lot. Okay so there's a website that you can put. So Meg you probably would be better staying here in New Zealand.
You can punch in your job and it tells you what you'd be earning in Australia as opposed to New Zealand.
So there's a lot of people calling through you're gonna have to tell us your salary yeah okay well Alicia kicks things off yeah um Alicia what do you do for a living um I'm
actually not calling on behalf of me I'm actually calling on behalf of my partner
because we're trying to settle not an argument but whether we move or not okay
okay um yeah so we were gonna move and then we had a baby so then that changed.
Yeah.
But we're still trying to figure out.
So he's currently a glazier.
Okay.
And he's on about $30 an hour.
Okay, do you know what that equates to about a yearly salary?
$62,500.
Okay.
I think you're going to need to move.
If you're doing a 40 hour week.
Okay.
30 times 40 times 52.
Yeah, so we're about 40, 45, yeah.
Okay, you're gonna have to move,
because he could be earning an average
of between 75 to 80k in Australia.
What?
Doing lazier work.
Which is about 80 to 85 New Zealand dollars,
so 20k more.
Oh, I think we're gonna go home and pack our bags.
Yeah.
That's a considerable amount more, isn't it?
20k pay rise is a big difference.
If you're earning more but then you're spending more then kind of like what's
the point but I guess if the cost of living is at least similar or you hear
it's better well then things are cheaper you're earning more money you can see
why a lot of Kiwis are jumping ship. I've just seen a text come through
babysitting and early childhood care,
much, much, much cheaper to work over in Aussie.
So that's my babysitter that's texting.
Right.
Yeah, no, it's like, in fact, isn't that the only job,
Dan, that you go overseas and you actually learn least?
No, apparently the average wage for an early childhood
teacher or babysitter is, full time,
is around $100,000 a year in Australia.
How much are you paying your...
As opposed to $70k in New Zealand. So $30,000 more on average.
Uh huh. Uh huh.
According to this website.
Oh but there's snakes and spiders and stuff.
But isn't Hope, isn't she really really good? So she'd be on the upper echelon.
Yeah, yeah, right, okay.
Okay, Ben what do you do? And how much you make in doing it in New Zealand?
Kia ora, good morning.
I'm a mental health and addictions clinician and I earn 68 point something K.
Usually rounded up to 70.
Yeah right.
So I punched mental health clinician into this website.
Between $75,000 to $85,000 earning in Australia. So it's not so much more,
but still worth considering, right?
I'd imagine.
And that's Australian dollars, by the way.
Have you ever thought about doing the jump, Ben, over Dozzy?
And no, not really.
I like it here and a little bit scared to change.
Yeah, yeah.
We're looking at it.
It's only about 10k difference.
And by the time you move and everything,
actually might not be.
Yeah, I like being able to put my feet in a pile of leaves
and know that I'm not going to die.
They have leaves in Australia.
No, I'm not.
I know, I mean, because there's going to be a snake
like just keep it inside.
The leaves can't kill you over there, can they?
I don't know.
A lot of stuff can, though, click.
Yeah. I guess it would have to be,
it'd have to be a big jump.
Someone said an editor, like a film editor,
earning $105,000 a year, damn punch that,
and it came back at about $145,000.
Yeah, and Sparky's apparently in New Zealand
an $80,000 average.
Someone's text through saying that they could earn
up to $250,000 in Australia for doing the same job.
Oh in the mines?
Yeah in the mines as well but also just in general I think in construction as well.
That's why so many Sparkies and Tradeys are moving over to Australia.
Oh because they've always got high rises going up all the time because Wix, if you're a Tradey,
it's quite quiet here at the moment.
Not you though Chris, not my brother. He's definitely earning more here in New Zealand.
Oh really?
No I think if he went over the Gold Coast and the amount of high rises, he would be splat out.
Oh no no no no.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Heavy truck driver, someone sticks through you earning $110,000 here.
Apparently $140k in Australia is the average.
Wow, much better.
Yeah.
Much better.
$30k jump.
Yeah, $40k pay rise when it comes to New Zealand dollars for you.
Also, this interesting, you know when you're in school,
they're like, you listen,
or you're gonna be driving a rubbish truck,
you know, for the rest of your life.
You know, that was always the threat, weirdly,
and my teacher would always be like,
you're gonna be driving rubbish trucks.
Someone said, I drive a rubbish truck,
I'm earning 100 grand a year.
In New Zealand.
Six figures.
What about in Aussie Dan?
Rubbish truck salary in Australia, less.
We found one. We found one! $75,000 annually.
Well done. Don't move to Australia if you're that person.
Appreciate your takes on that one though. I'm starting to realise with a nine-year-old
daughter how important it is to have like proper regular conversations about
their life, their friends, what they like, what
they dislike, because they start becoming a little bit more independent and you
don't realize that if you're not having those conversations you can find that
your daughter has set up a TikTok account without you knowing, which is what
happened. How does that happen though? Like, because she doesn't have a phone. No, she will use my wife's phone and you can go add account.
But that's so, I mean, in itself I didn't even know that a nine-year-old could be that tech savvy to...
Because your wife has an account, to add a separate account underneath it that your wife doesn't know about.
Log out every time, you know, otherwise your wife would open it and see.
No, I don't think my wife really uses TikTok to post.
She's just one of those ones that just...
Lurk her.
She's a lurker uses TikTok to post. She's just one of those ones that just... Lurk her.
She's a lurker on TikTok.
Yeah.
She will create content on Instagram,
but just kind of lurks on TikTok.
She's probably why this flew under the radar.
And then one of the girls from work goes,
your daughter's got a TikTok account.
Snitch.
No, she doesn't.
She uses the app to film videos, which she always did.
And I actually was kind of impressed
that she could lip sync, I don't know, there'll be like some sort of audio file
that's trending and she'd lip sync and all the rest of it.
I was like, that's cool that she's being creative,
but then it would always just save to drafts.
Yeah, we were in here Dan,
when this friend of ours came in and said,
I saw Cam, your niner on his TikTok,
and you got, not defensively, you're like, no she doesn't.
And she was like, yes she does.
You said, no she doesn't.
And then sure
enough she pulled up an account and I'd actually seen it the night before too
and just assumed it was like her account it would pop up on my feed because it
must be because it's next to Jamie's you know it was like recommended to me.
And Cam having these vicious knock on her eh.
And so I think in that moment I was like right I need to be very careful about how I approach this
because if I come down like,
what are you doing? You know, you're not supposed to be there.
And all of a sudden, I believe, at least from my parenting standpoint, that my daughter will just try and hide more things from me so she doesn't get in trouble.
So now it's like, hey, we need to sit down and have a chat, babe.
And she's like, is this about the TikTok?
So she knew.
She knew because my wife had only found out about it like less than 24 hours before I did, had a word to her.
So I think she thought that my wife had told me.
And I said, no, no, actually I found out
from some of the girls at work.
And she was like, oh, just delete it, just delete it.
And I was like, no, what I wanna do is sit down
and I wanna go through every video you've posted.
I wanna find out what you liked about each video
and why you wanted to post it.
Heartbreakingly, the first one we went through
was her saying that she posted that because she thought she looked really pretty in this
video because she'd used a filter. It was quite a like makeup heavy filter.
Yeah and so it was an opportunity I think to talk about why she thinks she
looks prettier with this filter and so we went through that and we talked about
other videos that she was doing a dance video and she really liked the song so she wanted to create a video
and so I want to encourage her creativity and and the way that she
wants to express herself but also I'm having this conversation about the fact
that when you put something on the internet even though we're deleting her
account it still exists. Yeah somebody could have screwed, I mean in the end like the
the friend that came in and showed you had screenshot them to show you
Yeah, you know and they're deleted obviously but if she was able to do that
And then we're talking about why a nine-year-old girl. Yeah dancing around in a tank top is
Even though she's just so
Innocent and just wanting to express herself
I don't want to introduce her to this this to this other world that will rob her of that innocence,
but I also want her to be super equipped
with knowing that there are people out there
with bad intentions that can take advantage of her naivety.
So true, Clint, so true.
It's extremely difficult because she is nine
and you sit there and go, that's too young,
but I think you're doing exactly the right thing
and training her like, in the end, it's not too young because it's happening. Like it happened, do you know what I mean? She that's too young, but I think you're doing exactly the right thing and training her like, in the end,
it's not too young, cause it's happening.
Like it happened, do you know what I mean?
She's not too young.
And there's no rule book to how to deal with this thing.
It's not like anybody's written a book.
I think you're dealing with it really well.
You've flagged it, you've had a conversation.
And she respects you.
Yeah, she sat there and listened,
like the entire time.
Wasn't like, come on, okay, I get it,
let's just delete it.
Like you could see she was like,
oh, dad's talking to me about stuff
we've never really talked about before.
Because then also at nine, she's like,
say people say it was all innocent
and there's no like creeps, that sort of stuff,
like not hopefully.
Eventually the bigger it gets,
the more likely that's gonna happen.
But it's still that idea that if she gets people commenting
and saying you look pretty or this is cool,
then she's getting that good emotion
from other people's validation.
Whereas I like what you said to me,
that you like, with the videos,
you like that she's doing it because it's fun
versus what people think of it.
I really liked how you worded that to her.
Maybe other people have dealt with this sort of situation
that are listening and could offer some advice.
Yeah, can you be my canary?
Can you be my canary down the line?
Because I'm Megan Danes,
but I'd like one that's gone before me as well.
Maybe there's someone that's got 16 year olds
and have been through this early stages.
Yeah, like when kids get phones early
or they get a social media account
and you have to have that conversation about
when you're posting photos, not even just social media,
just sending photos to people
that are asking for certain photos, if you know what I mean.
It's like how you navigate that without robbing
your child of their innocence
by having the conversation too soon.
But you have it too late,
and then I imagine you got a whole new world of problems.
And then every kid's different, so you're like,
oh, God, it's a minefield.
I have an Edge of Texas 3343.
Kids on TikTok.
Kids are, yeah.
Do's, don'ts.
Well, work for you.
Might work for me.
Just talking about,
I've got a nine-year-old daughter who I found
uploaded about seven different videos
after creating her own TikTok account
and completely innocent,
but obviously with the internet
and some of the videos that she was filming, I'm having these very adult conversations with her now about the types of people that are out there
in the world and why sometimes I want to kind of protect her and her innocence and it's a tricky
thing to do because you're having conversations that might be... I thought I was going to be having still a few years down the track,
I'm having them now.
The internet is such, it can be such an incredible place and resource and has done so much for education,
connection, community and unfortunately especially for young brains.
It's when you think you're older than you are and you don't quite realize the dark places of the world and the internet and people. Yeah, I
don't envy you Clint, I'm actually like getting all emotional just thinking
about one day I'm gonna have to have this you know conversation with my
daughter and it freaks me out. Yeah I remember a guy saying on social media I
was watching this guy's a parenting coach and he was talking about,
if your kid opens up to you, ask questions.
Just keep asking questions.
That's what we want as parents, right?
We want more information about our kids' lives
and what they think and whether their way of thinking
is actually right or wrong.
And so you just keep asking questions.
My daughter and I, the one thing I've drilled into her
since she was like tiny is that you
and me, no secrets.
You ask me anything, I'll give you a straight honest answer.
And if I ask you anything, then I want the same back.
She got to about six, because we used to kiss goodnight and I'd be like, all right, love
you, no secrets.
And she'd be like, no secrets.
And then it was like six where she said, some secrets. I was like, what?
So we've been working on that,
but I think the more honest communication
that you can have with your kid,
then the more active you can be in those tough moments.
I'm so glad that you're our Canary Down the Mine, Clint,
because you are genuinely one of the best dads in the world.
Like the way you think and the way you have
your relationship with your kids is second to none,
and I really take my hat off to you.
There's people texting through agreeing with you as well.
Clint is a parenting idol.
Someone else has texted saying that kids
shouldn't have smartphones until they're teenagers.
Cam doesn't have a smartphone.
She has just accessed it through one of your guys' ones.
Rowena has something to say to you, Clint, as well.
Hey, Rowena.
Hey, my name's Beatrice, and I don't know why it says that. Oh, that's so different. We like to call you Rowena. Hey my name's actually Sam, I don't know why it's isn't it?
Oh, now that's so different as well.
We like to call you Rowena.
Yeah, Rowena to us.
Okay.
Yeah.
Sorry Sam.
Morning.
You sound more like a Sam if I'm honest.
Yeah.
I think it was back when we were with you guys, we were doing those single parties when we
were like 15 years ago and it was like I'm not going to use my own name.
Oh, you wanted a fake one? Yeah. You've been Rowena like 15 years ago and it was like, I'm not gonna use my own name. Oh, you wanted a fake one?
You've been in Arwenia for 15 years?
And this is a lesson by the incident.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, what do you have to say, Sam?
Have you got kids, Sam?
I think, yeah, yeah, but they're only four and five.
But no, I often listen to Clint talk about his parenting
and how he deals with his kids
and I just think you're really admirable.
I'm a pretty feral parent, I think think and you inspire me to try and do better and try and
stay calm because it's freaking hard so not fly off the rails.
So yeah I just think you're amazing so keep it up.
Oh thanks Sam.
That's like unbelievably kind.
She's bang on as well you are.
I'm also always paranoid as well where I keep seeing this reminder that you are your kid's best friend.
Like you are your kid's entire world for a limited amount of time and then they go on and they make other best friends and partners.
And I'm very aware that you get to be this superhero to your kids for a short time and not a long time.
I do say he's a good parent. There was that day where he was a celebrant when Cam married a rock.
Remember that? That was a bit weird.
Oh, can you put Ty on your son on social media
and pretend he wet his pants for money or something?
He gotta cut it out.
Yeah, and he was too young to know that was happening.
There's a difference.
I think in general he's a very good dad.
Producer Kyle.
Did he put like a Woodstock and a coffee cup
on the sideline of a sports game or something like that?
Oh yeah, but not for them.
That was for me.
It was for Clint. They just watched him drinking. Oh yeah, but not for them, that was for me.
It was for Clint, they just watched him drinking.
Yeah, they play on Friday nights, you know.
It's not like they play Saturday morning.
Easy Money is coming up now.
Give a school 0800 EDGE your chance to win $10,000 in 30 seconds.
Can I just say though, great dad.
Really good. Even when he's drunk.
Even when he's drunk.
Here we go, 30 seconds.
And 10 answers, starting with the letter that Meg gives you.
Stand between you and $10,000.
We had a real good showing an hour ago at seven. Yeah, close, really close.
They got eight.
Eight from 10.
You need a perfect score though, 10 from 10, you can pass.
We've got time we'll
come back. No repeated answers. Who's playing?
Kavita's playing this morning. First time caller. Going to Europe needs all the cash
they can get. Kavita, your letter is R for Rainbow.
Okay. Oh thank you.
Okay. You confident, Kavita? Um, I think so.
I'm ready as I can be.
Okay.
Let's hope you can get this.
You've just got to keep a nice, consistent pace.
You don't have to be unbelievably quick.
Just consistent.
Let's do this.
Okay.
Sounds good.
Okay.
Name an animal.
Rabbit.
A man's name.
Roger.
An outdoor activity.
Running.
A country in Europe.
A country in the world.
A country in the world.
A country in the world. A country in the world. A country in the world. A country in the world. A man's name.
Roger.
An outdoor activity.
Running.
A country in Europe.
Rome.
A profession.
Er...pass.

An item of clothing. Er...raincoat. An N of clothing.
A raincoat. An NRL team.
Pass.
A word related to money.
Oh, far out.
Oh bugger.
That's actually so hard.
You started well until you got to Rome and named that as a country.
It's in fact a city, isn't it?
Yeah. You know what I probably should have buzzed you out there.
We keep going. We kept going. Did the Rome answer get to you and you realised it was
wrong and then it threw you for the rest of it? I thought so. And then in my mind I'm
like Russia. Yeah you're thinking about it still. Yeah we're all looking at each other
doing slit throats here in the background and it's like nah let it keep going. And
that's the thing let it keep going.
And that's the thing, I just keep going as well, cause I'm scared that if I'm trying to figure out at the same time whether it passes or not, I will always keep going.
Cause wouldn't it be awful if you stopped?
If I was like no, and you guys were like yes.
And then you ruined your time.
Yeah, okay thank you for playing Kavita. Good luck in Europe. Anyway, going to Rome.
Yeah, not as much money as she's hoping. Of all the ones that she was to crawl down on.
Yeah.
All right, back again.
Three o'clock this afternoon.
Clip, Megan Dan.
And people are bringing their tours to New Zealand.
If you missed it yesterday,
Lenny Kravitz is going to be coming.
Rover pre-sales kick off at nine o'clock,
and we have another concert announcement
at nine o'clock as well. Wow.ed until nine. International? Yes. Wow. Okay.
Postcode playlist. From the Tampakai, Brianga down to the dirty deep south of Bluff, no town is safe.
This is your Postcode playlist. Yeah, putting together a list I guess, a playlist of original
songs about places around the country.
Last week we started with West Auckland Meg.
And thanks so much as well for everybody getting involved, texting through, messaging through your ideas for the lyrics.
Because we need it. This is your segment.
Absolutely.
These songs are made for you.
Because even though I had some connections and Dan had some connections to West Auckland,
that's about it, I have lower heart,
but the rest of the country,
we need to know what goes down from your words.
If you don't get the song,
this was, here's just a little clip of it.
I'm a mother f***ing Westie
Have a pub from my barn
West Auckland Westie
John Mccrode is very long West Auckland Westie, John Buck Road is very long.
West Auckland Westie, Tinsley Dungy is where I'm from.
West Auckland Westie, yeah, I'm a bogan and I'm alone.
Well I'm here at the Lincoln Road overbridge, we're a number of police cars and...
They're all originals as well, these songs.
Yeah, so and the lyrics are completely written
by your suggestions.
So another town this week, we're going to Vegas.
Road of Vegas.
Road of Vegas!
Yeah, it was suggested quite a bit last week,
so we've decided to go down there.
Everybody knows a little bit about Rotorua, right?
You know, lots of stuff,
lots of tourist attractions down there. What you may not bit about Rotorua, right? Yeah. Lots of stuff, lots of tourist attractions down there.
Oh, what you may not know about Rotorua is the Zorb.
They actually fill the Zorb with hot water.
So that's pretty fun.
Not everyone knows that.
Hey, add that in.
Okay, add that in.
This seems like a very niche fact.
Yeah, but the more niche it is, the harder it is for them to put it into a melody. So the hot water in the zorb.
Hot water in the zorb, right.
I put this out on social last night for suggestions.
Lots came through. Heaps of hot pools, obviously, was a lot.
Smells like poo. Yeah, there it is.
It's like eggs. It's more like eggs, isn't it?
I like the smell of Rotorua. I really do.
What's the... They have this incredible bridge that runs between trees,
and it's all lit up at night.
Redwoods.
Redwoods.
Yeah, the Redwoods forest, that's cool.
Incredible.
Someone else said there's a mall with just one story.
Father's Day on Sunday lady lives there,
apparently, in Rotorua.
Oh, is she?
There's a car wash that went viral a few years ago
where a man went through it naked.
That's since been demolished, though, that car wash.
That's right, because I remember then we ended up
seeing how easy that was.
I think we ended up strapping Producer Chang, bit of a throwback for the OG listeners to a
car and put him through a car wash. I was really worried he's gonna die in there.
Apparently it's home of New Zealand's best toasted sandwich. There's a place
that took the crown last year, best toasted sandwich in New Zealand at Oturu.
Pack and Save station lost its roof apparently, the petrol station but now
it's pack on.
And everybody is eating at Valentine's restaurant there at some point.
I think it's got one of the few remaining Valentine's restaurants in New Zealand at Rotorua.
Okay, what would you like to see go into the song that Dan will perform this time tomorrow?
Yeah, maybe you're from Rotor Vegas and you've got some niche facts that not many people would know.
Some inside knowledge, text them through.
Okay.
This is your last chance to hit us up 0800 The Edge or via text with some song inspo
before it starts being what recorded after the show today.
Yeah.
We'll debut this time tomorrow.
Postcode playlist!
From the Tipper Cape Reagga down to the dirty deep south of Bluff, no town is safe. This is your Postcode playlist! From the tip of Cape Brianga down to the dirty deep south of Bluff, no town is safe.
This is your Postcode playlist.
Alright, we're going to be putting together a song for Rotorua.
This is your last chance to hit us with some song inspo before it gets recorded up after the show.
You make a lot of negativity coming through for Poor Old Road of Vegas.
I wouldn't have guessed that actually.
People saying that don't go to Kuro Park after dark.
Very dangerous, apparently.
And apparently the Lake Northoro is filled with duck poo.
But it has one of the last Kobunkos in the country.
As a positive.
Yeah, Meg's mum's banned from there.
Yeah.
No she is not, she's banned from Pizza Hut.
How dare you.
Oh.
And then they closed down.
Yeah, they had that food fight. No actually we can go to Kobunko, we're absolutely allowed Oh. And then they closed down. Yeah, they had that food fight.
No actually, we can go to Cobb and Co,
we're absolutely allowed there, as far as I know.
Does she only have a food fight in Pizza Hut,
as a grown ass at all?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The band's been lifted for Cobb and Co though.
Yeah.
Uh, it's the capital of speed bumps,
someone else has said, thanks Kylie for sending that through.
Apparently per capita in space,
more speed bumps than anywhere else in the country.
I don't like that.
Speed bumps pass me off.
Home to Redwood Forest, also home to Stephen Adams
and Jake the Muss.
Okay.
Michelle, what needs to be in the song
for postcode post...
Postcode playlist.
There's a kiwi hatchery in Rotorua.
Ooh, where were they hatch kiwi?
Yeah.
Okay, right next to the luge, eh?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, something about hot chicks?
Yeah, hot chicks, hot kiwis.
Yeah, I like that one.
No, they are quite warm
because they have them under the light.
Yeah, there's a light, they've got to stay warm, yeah.
All right, Amelia, what else needs to be
in a Rotorua song for postcode playlist?
Oh, it definitely amazed me,
vouching on behalf of my family that
own it but it's a 1.4 kilometre hedge maze that you get lost in. I've been before
Amelia, it is an outstanding maze. How cool must your parents be to create such
like a fun thing, you know like as a parent you're always trying to do fun
things with your kids but then they've created a massive maze that everyone enjoys.
Yeah, super, super random.
It was, Dad was torn between a midlife crisis of, you know, buying a nice car
or a state of tourism venture and he chose that.
Yeah. Damn.
Your childhood must have been fun.
Yeah. And, and, oh, Gary.
Did it pay off? Like, does he regret not getting the nice car?
Oh, yeah, yeah definitely 100%.
I mean the amount of men that go through a midlife crisis and make a maze eh, find a dollar for every time that happens.
Right there'd actually be probably be a few Dan.
Alright let's go to Brittany as well. Brittany what needs to be in the post-co playlist song with Dan?
The famous Kurau Park back in the day when they bought out New Zealand's Next Top Model.
One of the models got burnt there in a photo shoot.
Oh bugger! Yeah okay I don't remember that as being a news story but yeah we could definitely
put that in there. I must say Kurao Park is coming through quite a bit. It's not a very
nice place after dark. Oh wow. Someone says yeah stay away from there or your car gets
stolen. Oh okay. And apparently there's a zoo there with a few lions. Someone says, yeah, stay away from there or your car gets stolen. Oh okay.
Damn.
And apparently there's a zoo there with a few lions.
Someone else has checked that.
Oh yes, I've been there.
They had like lion cubs and you get to like hold them
and stuff.
Yeah.
And it's amazing.
There's a street with underfloor heating
where a lot of the homeless people go to sleep
because it's warm.
Someone else.
There's a street with underfloor heating?
Yeah, a whole street.
It's called Each Street.
Wow.
And Meg, you'd love this, someone's texted us through it,
and I'm like, oh my gosh, yes, Bec.
They have a mini-golf with like rabbits that just bounce around the course
just enjoying themselves while you play.
Real rabbits? Or bunnies?
Yeah, I think they're like pets, not like wild, but there's heaps of them.
This is great. I've got plenty to write a song.
So it's gonna have, you're gonna have it tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Yep.
This time tomorrow? Hard working Dan.
All I need is 24 hours to write one song.
Okay.
Each year and writes it in three.
Yeah, three minutes.
Slightly more talented than me.
Okay.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh my gosh.
Meg, you like going to op shops and church book sales?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And collecting old books.
Yeah, from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Gosh, you must be a nightmare to live with.
You've just got a bookshelf full of old books from the 70s.
But it's inspired a fun radio segment.
Books by Boomers.
Over a quarter of a million of these books sold,
His Needs, Her Needs, Building and a Fear-Proof Marriage from the 60s. Over a quarter of a million of these books sold his needs her needs building an
affair proof marriage from the 60s there is a list right at the beginning of the
book talking about is your marriage a fair proof okay shall we shall we play
yeah I think that's a great idea okay he said in all of his counseling
experience this is Willard F Harley by, by the way, the author.
He sounds old.
I have identified five basic needs men expect
their wives to fulfill and five needs women expect
their husbands to meet.
Time and time again, these 10 needs have resurfaced
and I have helped literally thousands of couples
improve their troubled marriages if these needs are met. Okay. Okay I think a man, one thing from the 70s, a man would
want his wife to cook. Okay okay yeah I think I think you're right Dan I think
he's worded it a little differently but I'll do the five, yeah we'll do five
mens first. Number five, that men need in a marriage to not cheat on you.
Admiration.
Need to admire you.
So yeah, so the woman needs to like just always be.
Admire me, it's not a bad thing, right?
But I think it's-
You'd like my wife to admire me?
I, yeah, I see that.
It's just so funny how vastly different
the other list is for women.
Okay, right.
Yeah, okay, so do you want me to do one for one,
woman, man, woman, man? Okay, so number five on the women's list.
Okay, sure, that might be fun, just to see the comparison.
Okay, so number five for men, they need admiration.
Women need commitment.
Brilliant.
As long as they're committed to the relationship, they're happy as Larry.
So, okay, number four.
Well, you want commitment.
Yeah, I do, yes, no, he's right.
Do they want admiration, the girls? No, and apparently not on the list, sorry. Well, you won't commit, man. Yeah, I do. Yes, no, he's right.
Do they want admiration, the girls?
No, apparently not on the list, no.
Number four, so it goes in most importance, by the way.
So then number four, men need domestic support, which I think is what you mean, Dan.
Yeah, like cooking and cleaning.
Right?
Yeah, I'd like support.
You don't have to do all of that.
I'd like us to both pull our weight.
Okay.
And number four, for women, apparently, they need our weight. Okay. And number four, for women apparently they need financial support.
Okay.
So what he said is that cooking and cleaning the lady needs to do.
Because God forbid they're earning their own money.
And the man needs to make the money.
My wife doesn't earn her own money but I don't know where it goes.
She's lucky if she's voting.
Number three, for what men need in a marriage to not cheat on their partners, according
to this book, an attractive partner. Is this for the men? For the men. They need an attractive spouse
to not cheat. Clint what are you doing with that little ding? It's getting...
I feel like I'm gonna find myself in this weird place and I'd like to stop using the dinger.
You don't hope your partner's attractive? Sure, sure, so then you'd expect it to be on the other side, wouldn't you?
Yeah, exactly.
No, the woman needs honesty.
He's basically just listed the very basic human rights.
Commitment, financial support and honesty so far on the woman's list, on the men's list,
admiration, cooking, cleaning, support and attractiveness.
Okay.
Right, the top two now.
Number two for a man to not cheat on his wife, recreational companionship.
And that means being interested in what he's doing, golfing or his hobbies.
Like, if she...
My wife barely comes, but when she does, to my football...
I was gonna say...
To my football games...
Okay. I think that's not her, that's actually,
let me just, on the second,
I think that's actually, it's not looking good at her.
As long as she's cleaning the house though.
Did you say barely?
Barely, barely attends my football,
but when she does, I really appreciate it
and I think I play better.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I do like when she takes.
Showing support in what you enjoy doing.
Let's say that down for Producer Roundup on Friday.
Number two for women.
So the men need women to show support in their football games,
in their golfing, recreational companionship.
Number two for women, conversation.
Yeah.
They just want to be talked to once in a while.
All right. And the final number one for men, sex.
Number one for women, affection.
Oh, OK. There you go.
It's sad Santa Jamie though.
Yeah, she's not getting anything.
She gets it but she very rarely finishes it.
So watch out for this.
So you just want commitment and money.
Yeah, it looks like what we need, we just want honesty, loyalty and commitment and men
want an attractive sexual partner that loves them.
And does a bit of vacuuming.
Is it that hard?
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. sexual partner that loves them. It does a bit of vacuuming. It wasn't that hard.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
We'll take you very quickly back to
the journey that was three friends
with no musical experience wanting to see
how they would go if they started a band about a month ago.
We should start a band.
Why don't we do something and then we can spring it to Mitch.
I can scratch together some shit on a guitar in a couple of weeks.
Three, two, one, go.
Oh shit.
Jeez.
That was the worst auditions I've ever heard.
I feel like Simon Cowell here.
So we had instruments and a song.
All we needed now was a room full
of lick it up victims to play to.
My 40th.
The Devonport RSA.
That's right, Olivia's 40th birthday
at the Devonport RSA. That's right, Olivia's 40th birthday at the Devonport RSA.
Didn't come without us.
Which brings us to this very moment.
So I think we, wasn't without its hiccups.
Oh, there was hiccups all the way through it, yeah.
On the night, but at the end of the day,
we did manage to lay down a song, start to finish,
that did sound similar to Teenage Dirtbag.
But he doesn't know who I am
And he doesn't give a damn about me
Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
I mean Meg got better at drumming.
That was one of the worst examples of her drumming.
Is that from the party or is that like a
rehearsal in studio Bridges and Epia? That's when we played like live in the studio for the rest of
the audience to hear. I wish we'd just used the good audio of us playing at the party. I felt more
rock and roll like when we were doing it at Olivia's 40th. Yeah, I mean we got really, really good.
Not to the point that maybe Wheatus would play it.
No.
But we were pretty good.
Yeah, Brendan initially was on the show
after we paid him to comment,
cause he's on Cameo, you know the website
where you can ask celebrities to send you a voice message?
Yeah.
Video message.
And we were bickering over who was gonna do the girl part. Meg was like well I'm the girl and the only reason that Brendan does the girl
part is because there was no girl in the band at the time.
Yeah.
Meg, kudos to you. I really don't know how you tolerate those two.
You didn't hit it in pitch. Pitch and tone were not quite on mark.
That was like a compliment sandwich but he hadn't put the bread back on top.
No!
Turns out Meg did do that part. And I think you did it a whole lot better than the time that Brendan heard you do it.
Yeah, but no bright instance. He told me not to do it and then I did it anyway to see what he thinks of that.
Yeah, well, we wanted to track him down whilst this was all happening.
And I guess we've hung up our guitar and drumsticks now.
And then I'm just sitting on the floor in my bedroom. Oh really? Did you hang yours up?
Yeah I got a guitar stand. Okay well. Yeah now he has seen the video and he wants to
come on the show. I don't know if he wants to inspire us to go again and get the band
back together or be like stop that. Yeah as I said I'm just presenting a season
assist. I stop playing my soul and butchering it.
Unsure but Brendan B Brown, the lead singer of Weedus, is going to join us on the show right after this. We wanted to get him on the show.
The lead singer of Weedus, Brendan B Brown and the mastermind behind one of the biggest songs the world has ever seen.
When three friends, myself, Meg and Dan, decided to put together a band
with no musical experience whatsoever.
Nothing.
No.
I can kind of hold a tune with my singing voice,
so can you, Clint.
Meg, on the other hand,
I think she picked up a bass guitar once.
Yeah, and she had one drum lesson
the entire time in trying to learn teenage dirtbag.
He joins us on the show this morning.
Finally it's so great to chat with you Brendan. I know we didn't call and ask
for permission but we appreciate you letting us do Teenage Dirtbag as our
very first song as amateur musicians. Yeah that was fun. Hey did you wear that
hat because I live in New York in the Bronx in fact. Yes, yes. No, no. Is that just a coincidence?
Sure you did.
Because I couldn't find an all blacks jersey.
So, you know.
Thank you.
What is your connection with New Zealand?
Oh man, a desperate longing to be there.
You guys have been to New Zealand.
We have never, sadly, tragically, it was organized several times and fell through for one reason
or another. We're actually talking to somebody right now about it. Yes. It's it's a life's goals thing. Of course. It's on the bucket list
It's gonna happen before we wrap
I think if you did come to New Zealand there would but you would be able to sell out a concert easily a hunger for
Teenage dirtbag at least here. Yeah, we're huge. Well if I had Meg on the drums
It's the thing if you if you guys can't get over here we might just do a tribute band
and just do one song.
Yeah.
And just tour the country.
A one band tribute song.
You know, yeah.
In the scheme of things Brendan, because I'd imagine being in a band like Weed, that's
a big band like that, you see a lot of covers of your songs done by bands that are good
and bad.
Where would our cover rank in the scheme of covers?
Well, I'll tell you what, I'm the producer
and I wrote it and I produced it and I recorded,
I engineered it.
So there's very little I don't know about that song.
The kids on TikTok teach me new things about it
all the time with the covers.
But from the execution of the original standpoint,
I kind of feel like I can say what's going on.
And I have to say that I got to give Meg the MVP award on this most recent performance.
Thank you.
If I'm talking about your cover.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, yeah, as well, I guess.
Well, I mean, like you said, there's so many.
Which one are we going to get into? Why not yours? Right? I guess. Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean, like you said, there's so many.
Which one are we going to get into?
Why not yours?
Right?
So I see a lot of people play the drums to that song and play it incorrectly because
it has, you know, there's a variation of the Purdy Shuffle happening there where there's
a ghost note on the sixteenths on the snare drum.
Nobody does that intuitively and you did.
And I'm very impressed with that just right off the bat.
I know we had...
Wait, you're making me laugh right now.
Is this kind of like the hat thing at the start where it was a bit of a coincidence or were you deliberately doing that thing that he's talking about?
I mean, I didn't get... I got one lesson in the end and I, as you know, Brendan, none of us have played a musical instrument leading up so we had 36 days to learn.
I just watched and copied you.
Well, you know the band. So I just, I mean, I like to think that maybe it was intuition from just
listening to the songs so many times over that I'm like that's in there. But I didn't learn off
anybody in the way of like I didn't follow anyone and that's why I guess it kind of sounded like my
own in a way. I just listened and played.
Yeah.
Authentic mag.
Authentic mag.
So do you remember a moment when you were like, shit, it's got legendary.
Like it's got to a point where this song is bigger than us now.
Like, do you remember a moment when you realized that?
Yeah, I remember the I remember the moment where I where I kind of got back on how to
sit down during the first wave of TikTok videos.
Yeah. got back on how to sit down during the first wave of TikTok videos. Yeah, there was Madonna
and Cheech and Chong and, you know, Chevy Chase and like, like, like, big Hollywood
stars doing this. And then I they brought one they brought one into me because we had
got we're trying to respond to them as fast as we could gaga you know duet and just say thank you and and they brought me the one Quincy Jones did wow that's
incredible and that one I had to sit down for a second I got a lump in my throat on
that one I couldn't believe it I couldn't believe yeah you know that this man who is
responsible for arguably some of the most important records that will ever be made knew
my knew who knew what
we did, knew our song, you know, at all enough to even do that. So it was a big moment.
That was it.
Hey, Brendan B Brown, our lead singer at Weeders. Thank you so much, man, for your time. We
really appreciate you being so accommodating, even just sending the clips a few weeks back
and then taking the time to chat to us now. We really do hope that you do make it across
the ditch to New Zealand
and don't do what Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga and all those others are doing and
let us out. Yeah yeah. Please come. Well as soon as we can guys, as soon as we can.
Absolutely on the bucket list as I said. See ya mate. Alright guys, take care.
Thanks Brendan. He's a lovely guy isn't he? Yeah he's cool. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan.
When you travel with kids,
especially like toddlers or babies,
apparently it's really stressful.
I've never done it before.
This is the first time on Thursday
I'm gonna be going to Australia.
Hannah, my wife and I are taking George over there.
I'm nicely going to Aussie for Matariki.
Yeah.
Yeah, love it.
You're just like, get me out of the country.
No, no, not at all.
I'm celebrating it and I'm spreading the word
of Matariki in Australia.
That's the reason I'm going.
And Hannah is very, she's such a brilliant mum. God, she's good.
But I think the list of stuff that she's put together for our flight over, and remember this is just for the flight, the three hour flight to Australia.
She hasn't accounted for the flight back.
Yeah, I'm team Hannah and I haven't even heard the list.
Go on.
This is the list she sent me yesterday
of the box she's packed for George on the flight.
I'm just gonna list the items.
Two bananas.
Great.
A packet of raisins.
Dan will probably end up eating both of them.
Two packets of baby chips.
Yep.
Water.
Muesli bar.
Times three.
Okay, no, he doesn't.
No.
He doesn't need that many bars.
A digger puzzle, one truck puzzle,
two rattles, he only needs one.
A shaker toy, a Pikachu toy, truck toy,
sucky toy for landing and takeoff,
juice and yoghurt for a three hour flight.
Is the three hours a little longer than the...
Three and a half.
Three and a half.
I think if you've got a bag...
I stand by it.
Like, babies get bored of things so quickly and easily and sometimes you don't know if
one thing's going to work one day versus the next.
Now people have text through saying, Dan, you need a list.
You're wrong.
They text that before they heard the list.
That is a long list of crap.
And I've got, remember, I've got George on my lap.
So he's sitting with me.
Hannah has to have the seat free next to her
for the box of shit she's put together.
We had to pay almost for an extra seat on the plane.
But yeah, I think Janelle's got a good point.
We're trying to get her on the phone.
Oh, here she is.
Janelle, your points, I agree with completely. It's her on the phone. Oh, here she is. Janelle, your points I agree with completely.
It's not just the three and a half hour flight, is it?
No, it's also including the two hours wait before
and then customs on the other end.
Yep. I know, and I get that.
It's going to be about five or six hours of travel
or to get there, and then you've got to get in the car
and figure out where your Airbnb is.
Okay, we're staying in a hotel.
But I mean, I don't disagree with you, Janelle,
but at the same time, I feel like that's a lot of stuff.
But if you were to take, George, would you just take nothing?
I would take a couple of packets.
Look, if it was me, I'd probably take not enough
because I'd probably take a couple of packets of chips and a rattle.
And for six hours with an incredible...
Yeah, but I think Hannah's got the other direction.
She's gone too far. You can't take fruit on an international flight. I think you can. You just incredible... Hannah's got the other direction, she's gone too far.
You can't take fruit on a national flight. I think you can, you just can't take it into the other country.
You can't take it into the other country. It has to be eaten by the plane. You can take it on the plane.
Now, hopefully you can't though, and they block it off because there's two items taken off the list at least.
Is anybody else taking this much stuff? Because maybe I am mental.
I'm agreeing with her on this one, definitely.
I think you can't prepare too much for a kid to go on a flight.
You've never done it before.
You don't know, he might breeze through and you'll be like,
see, he didn't need any of it.
But he also might struggle.
Also, if people are talking about kids on flights and stuff,
about how they're crying, you're trying to entertain them.
We need to get rid of the stigma around how annoying kids are if they're crying on a plane. It's like yeah they
can't unblock their ears and things you know like whatever it's like you've got
headphones and your own screen. If you don't want to hear the baby crying turn
it up. I totally agree if you're not going on an international flight or any
flight for that matter and don't have noise canceling headphones it's your own
problem. Yeah and you see mums especially bouncing them up and down the aisles. They're so stressed.
Don't be sorry. It's a kid. Kids cry. Yeah. Like it happens. That's why the
infight entertainment is there for you to zone out. Yeah. Now if a kid kicks the
back of a seat that's not okay right? Parent your kid. Kids can cry if they're
upset but they can't kick the seat of the person in front of them.
Don't worry, because my kid's not going to be annoying.
He's got three rattles, a shaker toy, Pikachu, truck toy, sucky toy, some...
He's got plenty of stuff to get me entertained.
He's basically got a toy world in the sky.
Yeah, but what has she got for you to keep you entertained, Dan?
That's the issue here.
I might use a couple of his rattles.
That's why she's brought two.
She knows that muesli bar's going to dab.
All right, who's coming to New Zealand next?
Hey, very, very exciting.
We've had to keep this one a secret until 9 o'clock.
The Edge brings you Ocean Alley.
