Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If you're easily offended, keep listening. We love a challenge. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. And here we see her in her natural habitat. A real life Meg, rolling round in mud. Look at her. Oh, she's about to do her mating call.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Settle down, Meg. It's time for the show, Kinky. This is Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning, it is one to six. Welcome to the show. Guys, we're just discussing Lorde's album cover. Yeah, we'll go through it in scandal, but luckily we are all over it now.
Starting point is 00:00:45 But thank goodness we figured it out beforehand because we're gonna sound like idiots. Is that a magic eye or what? I'm just gonna say this. It makes it look like she's put something inside her. Dan, no, Dan thought that she put a kindle up her fanny. What? And look, Clint, when you see it, you're gonna go, Lorde shoved
Starting point is 00:01:02 a kindle up her fanny. No, I don't think that will be my first thought. Okay, I'm going to show you the photo and you tell me if it doesn't make you think that. Oh. I thought a Polaroid. Also, it's like an X-ray and you can see her pelvis and stuff and it looks, and there's like a zip.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Yeah. And there's a Kindle up there, isn't there? No, that's that Polaroid. Anyway, we'll talk about it later. We'll figure it out. We'll go through that. Don't worry. It is her fourth album.
Starting point is 00:01:26 There has been an announcement, and I have all the details. Meg's also got a massive smoothie this morning that looks like it's about three litres worth. Oh, yes. Yeah, I guarantee she's not going to finish that by the end of this hour. Of course I'm not going to finish it by the end of this hour. I didn't know there was a time limit on smoothies.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Is that a full show smoothie? It's a full show smoothie. It ought to be all warm and coagulated. Yeah, don't leave it too long. Daniel, you make your smoothies the night before. Don't talk to me about smoothie etiquette. That's so gross, by the way, because they're all separated. It's so disgusting.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I tell you what, it's not, and people do it. Hey, he is going to be on the show at 7.30 this morning. We caught up with him yesterday after the show. Our interview was scheduled for 10.36, and he jumped on the Zoom at 10.36. He this morning. We caught up with him yesterday after the show. Our interview was scheduled for 10.36 and he jumped on the Zoom at 10.36. He was amazing. Incredible. The most punctual man I've ever met.
Starting point is 00:02:12 And a really genuine, surprisingly good time. I wasn't expecting a lot from Alex Warren, but he was actually really funny. Yeah, the type of person that you know is going to be successful in the industry because people want to help him. The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast. Alex will be joining us on the show at 7.30 this morning.
Starting point is 00:02:30 And from his tour bus as well. Because I was like, where are you right now? Because it looked very flash in the interior of his tour bus. It's like red upholstery. And I was seeing things in the background. I was like, it looks like he's on a tour bus. And then sure enough, he gave us a bit of a tour of the tour bus on his iPad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Not that you get to choose, but red. Oh, I'd be gutted. I'd be gutted if they're like, here's your tour bus. I'm like, I can't wait. And it's all red leather. Isn't it rumoured that the greatest tour bus of all time that celebrities will rent out was the One Direction bus? Really?
Starting point is 00:03:02 Yeah, that was a double decker. It was two stories. People would rent out the One Direction tour bus when they weren't touring was a double-decker. Oh, wow. And it was two stories. People would rent out the One Direction tour bus when they weren't touring. I don't know what the hell they've done with it now. Like, who owns
Starting point is 00:03:10 the One Direction tour bus? Well, a year ago, there was a big, I see what you're saying, and One Direction tour bus brings back nothing but memories. Wow. And it was a big look at it.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And it had a recording studio in there because I remember they recorded like one of their albums on the road. So they were getting up in the middle of the night after the concerts and like,
Starting point is 00:03:25 you see it in the show in the This Is Us documentary. And they're like getting up in the middle of the night. Oh, that one's full of red leather too. What's that? Is it cheaper? I don't know. Is it an American thing? Same with like camper vans.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Like they all use this really dark walnut brown oak sort of colour. I don't know. It's just like an American. Like they do that in kitchens a lot. You know where you like see American kitchens and all very dark brown kitchens. And the weird thing was
Starting point is 00:03:49 about that tour bus is it had them all over the side. So if you're driving down the motorway, you'd sit like, you'd see them. And imagine if you were hiring it though and you were like Ozzy Osbourne and you got like one direction
Starting point is 00:04:00 all over the side of your bus because yours is broken down or whatever. Did Alex Warren have that tour bus? Because it was red inside. We should have asked him, damn it. It could have been one direction. Is this the one direction bus? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Oh, he said it slipped eight plus a double at the head for him and his dog. Apparently he was involved in a terrifying bus crash. Ooh. The one direction one. Yeah. Oh. Horrible. Rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Oh, well. All right. Speaking of someone that would have a tour bus, Taylor Swift. Yeah, we thought we'd play a Taylor Swift throwback for you this morning because Shannon Beresford, who we had on the show yesterday, she's a Canadian singer-songwriter, used to be in a band for a long time with her brother and then realised she looked a lot like Taylor Swift,
Starting point is 00:04:40 sounded a lot like Taylor Swift when she wanted to and people said, why don't you do like a tribute act and travel around the world. Take a listen. And so she kicks off her tour in Auckland at Bruce Mason Theatre, and then she's in Whangapurua tomorrow, and she's making her way all around the country with 19 different gigs.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Yeah, are we going? Bridges Carl? Yeah, bro, no, you going? Okay, cool, because she did say, oh, hey, you guys want to come? Let us know, we'll grab your tickets.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I said, yeah, me and the fam would love to go. Clint's taking his whole family. So I'll report back. Yeah, because it'll be the closest we've ever gotten and maybe we'll ever get to a Taylor Swift concert.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Taylor Swift from Teemu. Teemu Swift. But it's still quite expensive. Can we say that? You know, it's not... The tickets are like 80 bucks each, so you'd hope it's good. You'd hope it's good. I was just going to say, I'll give away a double right now.
Starting point is 00:05:31 If you call through, you really want to go, I'll give away a double now. I suggest sitting at the back, because I reckon if you sit right up the back, it would be hard to tell if it's Taylor or not. What's a Taylor Swift ticket cost if you're paying 80 bucks for a tribute act with Shannon? Well, she actually went down as low as like 40 bucks for her worst ones. Taylor? Yeah. You were standing behind a tribute act with Shannon. Well, she actually went down as low as like 40 bucks for her worst ones.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Taylor? Yeah. You were standing behind a speaker stack though. Obstructed views. Yes, you were there. And the best ones went up to what, three to 500?
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah. Still pretty amazing. But I think most of them were about 89, 90, like just cheap seats. Okay, so throwback. Your options are Love Story
Starting point is 00:06:04 or Mean. seats. Okay, so throwback. Your options are Love Story or Mean. Now the purists would go Mean. One of her first big hits. We do love Mean. Mean would probably be our pick, but Love Story is the bigger throwback. Okay. And I think it's more of a pick-me-up for a Thursday.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Oh, you don't think Mean's a pick-me-up? Well, Mean's a bit. She's talking about how she was bullied at school and stuff. Although she gets over it and now she becomes Taylor Swift. Oh, well, I'm just confused now.
Starting point is 00:06:31 So what do you want me to do? Dan, pick a hand. Okay. Three, two, one, left. Oh, why don't you get Blake to choose? Okay, get Blake to choose my left or right hand.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Blake's going to be going to the Taylor Swift tribute act. Blake, get Blake to choose my left or right hand. Blake's going to be going to the Taylor Swift tribute act. Blake, good morning. Good morning. How are we? We're good.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Is it going to be Mean or Love Story this morning? Oh, we have to do Love Story. Okay, Love Story it is. The boss will be happy with that.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Like Meg said, it was the bigger hit. And Blake, we'll get a double pass. Where in the country are you, bro? I'm in Auckland. Okay, sweet. I'll see Clint tonight. Clint, Meg the country are you, bro? I'm in Auckland. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:06 I'll see Clint tonight. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Time for a little coffee, catch up on what's been going on. What's been happening, team? Well, I must say, I've run out of cereal. Now... Oh, this is the... Well, I just want to say...
Starting point is 00:07:23 It must be nice to be Dan Webby. Of all the issues you've got going on in your life, you know, no, I just want to say... It must be nice to be Dan Webby of all the issues you've got going on in your life. You've run out of cereal. That's top of the pile. I went to bed last night and I had a temperature of 40 degrees.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I've never taken... You really shouldn't be here. At 5.30 this morning when Dan told me his story, I was 39, so it's crept up. No, it was 39.8 or something, so I'm rounding it up to 40.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Oh, that's fair. And I decided I'm going to go to bed and wake up, and I'll go to... I felt much better when I woke up, so that was fine. I was like, at least I've got my cereal when I get in. I got to work, and all I had was cornflakes. That is cereal.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I know, but I like my sugary stuff, so I'll put my cornflakes in, and then I'll mix it with some chocolate, like some... But you're the last person that used it, right? So you know that you used the rest of it yesterday. Yes, and I forgot because I was ill. When you want like a... Because you were ill.
Starting point is 00:08:11 When you want a sugar, like a no sugar thing for a while. That's long gone, my friend. When did that end? Last year. Why? Why did it end? Like, what was the thing that got you where you're like, ah, damn it, I'm back.
Starting point is 00:08:22 I think the main thing was I missed sugar. Right. And then just one day you're like, stuff it damn it, I'm back. I think the main thing was I missed sugar. Right. And then just one day you're like, stuff it. Yeah. And to be honest, I hadn't lost, it hadn't made me feel
Starting point is 00:08:31 much better. Like it did a little bit, I guess. But I hadn't lost weight or anything, so I was kind of like, if I'm not losing weight, why give it up?
Starting point is 00:08:38 So I'm back on it. Yeah, good on you. Oh God, I've put on weight. But I mean, it's... You're just maintaining, just holding the sugar. Yeah, just holding now. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Wait, so that's it? That's your coffee catch-up this morning is you've run out of cereal? And the fact that I just wanted to say that I'm sick. But you can hear that anyway. But still here. Yeah, I'm still here. I'm also sick, by the way.
Starting point is 00:08:57 We're both sick. So, Clint, you're the only one holding that down. Cool. I'll probably be sick tomorrow then. But you'll be here. Maybe there could be sick money. That could be like a thing in the industry. Like I remember I used to work at New Zealand Post and Kiwi Bank,
Starting point is 00:09:12 and the guys that would be in the mailroom, they would go and deliver all your letters and your bills and stuff. If it was raining, they got rain money. So it was a little bit of extra bonus just to counteract the crappiness of delivering in the rain. Can I ask first before that we get paid maternity leave at all workplaces before we have sick money? That doesn't help the boys. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I mean. What about the men? Sorry, sorry. No, you're right, Dad. Let me find my place again. I could be calling in sick, but I'm still here because I don't want to let the team down. And they go, thanks very much. Here's your sick bonus.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I thought we learned with COVID, though, like to not come in if you're sick. But COVID, piss off. Like, COVID's done. I'm so sick of COVID. Like, if you've got COVID, and I don't want to, you know, push people to going to work. But if you've got COVID, sometimes it doesn't, you don't even feel it. So. No, yeah, I'm not saying if you do the tests and stuff,
Starting point is 00:10:06 but if you've got a 40-degree temperature and you're working in a small space with a pregnant woman, I would say stay home. And then the problem is, Meg, is that if I get a 40-degree temperature, and it kind of, let's say, it genuinely does hit me a little different. Now you can't.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Now I go, oh, I'm going to stay at home, and they're like, oh, Dan, was he a sick? Why can't you? It's so true. So now you've set the standard. I'm the gold stay at home. And they were like, well, Dan, was he a sick? Why can't you? So true. So now you've set the standard. I'm gold standard. Yeah. That's what I've set.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Yeah, so anybody else that comes to work that is sick but doesn't go to work, weak. Yeah, no, because Dan's now set a precedent. Cool, thanks for that. Thanks, Dan. So there we go. We've gone from cereal to COVID. We've covered a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:43 The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast. Scandal with Meg. La Kenza Parnell, a brand new hotel in the heart of Auckland City. We comfort it in Adventure Collide. Book your stay today at lakenzaparnell.co.nz. Lorde has announced her fourth album. It's called Virgin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:01 It's the album cover for me that is confusing in a way. Yeah, we did figure it out in the end. The album's called Virgin, and it is an X-ray photo. And the X-ray photo is a photo of a pelvis where you can see a contraceptive device like the coil inside. You can also see a zipper, what looks like a Polaroid picture to me or a Kindle to Dan, a button and two nipples.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Very confusing until we realised, Clint, after about five minutes of discussion, she did the X-ray with her jeans on. It's a belt buckle and a zip and the two little studs that you have on your pockets of your jeans. Ah, what's the square bit in the middle? It's a belt buckle. Should we get a... Give us five minutes. Are we going to get a bounce back for her?
Starting point is 00:11:50 Yeah, we'll get a bounce back. Yeah, maybe virgin to 3343, but just text her in five minutes. Yeah. I don't know what you're going to get if you text virgin to that number. Yeah, be careful doing that. At first glance, you must admit,
Starting point is 00:12:02 it looks like she's put a kindle up her... I mean, there's a small kindle, Dan. Look at the size of my pelvis. And then look at this. You're talking about a kindle being this big. You can get small kindles like that. Maybe that's not that small, but I don't know how big her pelvis is.
Starting point is 00:12:18 That's a very big pelvis. Maybe it's art where it's meant to be subjective, and so she's done like a, you know. But now it is clearly a belt buckle. Oh, okay, so you're an idiot. No, we're idiots. We're absolutely idiots. So she sent me an email, slash all her fans' email this morning.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'll read you what it says. It's called Virgin, my fourth album. The colour of the album is clear. Do we have any poetry sort of music? Because it is quite poetic. Yeah, I can find some poetry music. Sorry, I know I'm going to chuck you in there. It's all in caps locks.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Chuck me in the what? Chuck you in the bath water. No. Okay. In the hot water. No. In the frying pan. No.
Starting point is 00:12:53 It's more to do with depth than anything. In the deep water. In the ocean. Just get on with the email. The deep end I was looking for. It is all in caps locks. Shall I yell? I'll yell.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Because it's in caps right okay it doesn't look like we have any more poetry music that's right i'll just but i'll i'll play something virgin the color of the album is clear like bath water windows ice spit full transparency the language is plain and unsentimental the sounds are the same where possible I was trying to see myself all the way through
Starting point is 00:13:36 I was trying to make a document that reflected my femininity raw, primal innocent, elegant open primal, innocent, elegant, open-hearted, spiritual, mask. I am proud and scared of this album. There's nowhere to hide. I believe that putting the deepest parts of ourselves to music is what sets us free, coming June 27.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It's like when you get an email from someone, they're really angry, and it's all in caps lock It's similar to that You're like Jesus Christ Oh my god Far out I think she accidentally Forgot to take it off
Starting point is 00:14:10 And then realised at the end Like oh damn That's all caps on And if I delete it How am I going to remember That I'm copying and pasting So yeah it's called Virgin coming out
Starting point is 00:14:17 June 27th And I don't quite understand When she said the language Is plain unsentimental And it sounds the same So I don't know If that means Like she's is plain, unsentimental, and it sounds the same. So I don't know if that means she's not changing it up.
Starting point is 00:14:30 All the songs are basically the same song. She's getting them before you can. But I am obviously a huge fan, obviously extremely excited. Can't wait. Briscoe? The bounce back's ready. Virgin, if you want to see that picture. Thank you. And how have you spelt Virgin?
Starting point is 00:14:43 V-E-Y. Jesus. I spelt it regular. I had to Google it. Carl's spelling is not his strength. He's one of those people that sends an email and all in caps lock. Yeah. Why is there not still a function
Starting point is 00:14:57 where you can just highlight and control? There is. I don't know what the control is, but there is a way that you can take it from caps lock down to lowercase. Okay, I need to know how to do that.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Someone will know that. 3343. Yeah, text us. Let us know. Dan can Google it, actually. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. How can I get, get, get to know, know, know you better, better, baby?
Starting point is 00:15:16 I want to get to know you. We're getting to know someone that, this one feels like you're just getting your friends and family on now, Dan, but they did have a very generous act towards you, and Dan is trying to repay it now. Yeah, his name's Jonathan. We've had Jonathan on many times before. He's a listener of the show, and he sent me yesterday, I got a package at work, and I opened it, and it was a very generous package of a Lego Red Bull Formula One car. And a lovely note from Jonathan saying that he's not a Formula One fan, but he loved how we kind of got behind Liam Lawson,
Starting point is 00:15:58 the New Zealand Formula One driver, when he was going through a bit of bullying and stuff on social online. And he's come back from that, and he's getting great results now. Is Jonathan the guy who got Warriors Champions 2024 tattooed on his body? He's got two tattoos from us on this show, yeah. I believe so, but he joins us. Oh, gutted,
Starting point is 00:16:15 because they had an awful season last year, but they're going pretty good this year, Jonathan. Morning, Jono. Morning, guys. How's it going? Good. Thank you, mate. Thank you very much. I mean, I've messaged you personally But thank you for sending me the Lego I will be It'll take me seven years to make it
Starting point is 00:16:29 But thank you very much It's for 18 plus What made you want to spend like Hundreds of dollars on Dan? Oh, I don't know Initially it was like I heard the part on That you guys were talking about
Starting point is 00:16:41 Where he was like on I don't know, the OnlyFans podcast When he went on Facebook And he was like on I don't know the OnlyFans podcast when he went on Facebook and he was like messaging back all messaging back to all the haters
Starting point is 00:16:50 who left bad comments and then I was like I don't know like something I was like I just want to send him something you know there's a lot of passion there
Starting point is 00:16:56 and it just came to me and I was like I'm just going to have to look around and I just did it Is your love language gift giving? I do like gift giving so it's probably one of them
Starting point is 00:17:04 yeah Well it was either that or physical touch so I mean Dan doesn't mind both Hey Is your love language gift giving? I do like gift giving, so it's probably one of them, yeah. Well, it was either that or physical touch, so I mean, Dan doesn't mind both. Hey. Next time I do something, you're more than welcome to come to the studio and we'll have a bit of a hug. I don't really know what to ask sort of thing, guys,
Starting point is 00:17:14 because I feel like we know Jono really well. Do you have any questions for him? We get to know you? We've had him in. Yeah. What's the... Could we ask him? Yeah. What's the most Could we ask him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:25 What's the most he's ever spent on a gift for someone? Okay. That's a great question. I'm going to... He's got like 300 bucks on a Lego person for a radio announcer. Can a gift count if it's like a girlfriend? Yeah. I think so.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Or a mum. Okay. I'm going to go with... I think he's very generous. If he's giving Dan, you know, $300 Lego, I'm going to say two and a half grand. Do we have to say what we roughly think it's for? I think something, either a trip or jewelry
Starting point is 00:17:52 for a partner, yeah. Okay. Okay, two and a half grand. Like thousands. Okay, Jonathan, I think, is the type of guy who I think bought, like, the new iPhone once for a new partner. It was like, and then it didn't last. And you're like, oh, I've got to stop doing that.
Starting point is 00:18:07 So maybe like $1,800 on the brand new iPhone, probably like five or six years back. And I think that I was quite up in the upper echelon to what he spent. Yeah, you're the highest. That's the most money he's ever spent. So I think he's probably spent in and around $500 for a gift. I'm going to go.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I'm up there. Okay. Jonathan, what is the most amount of money you've spent on somebody as a gift? Can I probably ask first? What was Clint's number again? One eight. Yeah, about $1,800. And I was two five.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Okay. I'd probably say just based on closeness, Clint would be the closest. Damn. Wow. Now that is a lot. What comes to mind? Like, what'd you buy? Do you know? It wasn't a gift for a girlfriend. It was a gift that I actually got my mum for her birthday one day.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Oh, that's nice. There was a bracelet that she liked and I bought it for Mother's Day one year. Oh, man. Oh, sure, sure. I hope my mum's not listening. It's Mother's Day, like, around the man. Oh, sure, sure. My mum's not listening. Is it Mother's Day like around the corner? Yeah, next Sunday. And mum's going, well, that Jono guy,
Starting point is 00:19:09 he spent like over $1,500. Did you have a partner at the time, Jono? Because, man, she would have been pissed off. Yes. At the time, I don't remember, honestly. He's like a dipshit. He left me weirdly like shortly after. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 All right, Jonathan, well, you're going to get a voucher to go spend in the store at Zed. So look, you ring what you sow, buddy. Look at that. No, I forget that. Thanks, Jono. Thanks for being nice to our fans. What a guy. Hey, coming up before 7 o'clock,
Starting point is 00:19:37 I've got an update on whether the Lord is acting in mysterious ways in regards to answering our prayers and Mario Kart. You may have missed yesterday. My little son prayed that mum would go well in Mario Kart during Grace. And my wife got two back-to-back first place. Unbelievable. And I was like, what the hell? So we prayed that she would lose yesterday.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But then it also, I mean, there's so much into this. Because would God play in this stupid little game? Or is he, and has he already gone, guys, I did this yesterday. I'm not doing this again. I am busy. Or maybe he just wants a bit of fun. It's a bit of a distraction from all the serious shit.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Clint, Meg and Dan. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's. First of May, Thursday. What you got, Meg? Something that I think might wind Dan up specifically is that a man has been rescued from Japan's Mount Fuji twice. So a climber was airlifted with altitude sickness because he got sick at the peak of Japan's Mount Fuji last week.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And so they took him down, they got the helicopters, did the rescue team, sent it all out. Don't know how much that cost, sent him out. Then they got a call again from a few days later because they went back because they forgot his cell phone. Oh, my God. Up the mountain. I kid you not.
Starting point is 00:20:53 This is a real story. How long would you be thinking about? You'd be like, I've got to get back up there. 27-year-old Chinese student living in Japan. He made the call and then got saved and then went back up because his cell phone was up there still. It needed to be saved again. He couldn't make it back down on his own effort. I've always thought that
Starting point is 00:21:09 mountaineering is one of the most selfish, stupid things to do. Apart from anything else, a lot of these people, and they're usually rich people that go up Mount Everest. Sir Edmund Hillary did it many, many years ago and he achieved it and he did it first. Fine. Cut it off there. But people then go,
Starting point is 00:21:25 oh, but I want to get to the top of the world. And they go up, they get into trouble, they send rescuers up, they die. Do you know Mount Everest is covered in dead bodies?
Starting point is 00:21:33 And a lot of them are the Sherpas that get paid, if all, you know, to go up there and save these super, super rich people
Starting point is 00:21:39 that haven't trained properly. But if Dan left his phone up there, he'd be worried what people are going to find out. He'd go back.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Yeah, oh my goodness. I'd make sure I clear my browser history before I leave. Just in case you get... Base camp. Studies show that a toxic workplace could actually be worse for you than smoking. More harmful than smoking itself. And here's a study that says maybe it's time to quit your job
Starting point is 00:22:00 if you want to add years to your life. They're talking about after drawing from 228 different studies, they found that key stresses include long hours, lack of control, and job insecurity that leads to poor health more than anything else. They were talking about if you're in a toxic workplace, that it is actually better for your life expectancy to get out now. I guess also depending if you've got a job lined up with money that can help you afford your bills
Starting point is 00:22:29 because it would also be very stressful if you quit your job and then couldn't afford your house and your payments. Yeah, but they say high demands raise your risk of illness by 35% and long hours, if someone's doing a lot of hours, boosted your mortality by nearly 20%. I would also, yeah,
Starting point is 00:22:45 probably pass away if I couldn't afford groceries, though. So it feels like a lose-lose. Yeah, which is stressful. Yeah, which is very stressful, Clint. And there's been a competition held in Belgium. Now, this is the competition
Starting point is 00:22:57 that this radio show leans into. Oh, okay. It is a seagull imitating competition. Apparently, it happens every year. It's called the European Championship of Gull Screeching. And a British boy has won it for the second time in a row. Oh, wow. It's a thing.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's a thing. He's won it two years. And he's 10 years old. He was dressed this year as a seagull. And he went to perform and smashed it out of the park. And here's why. Because he was up against these people. Yeah, this is the competition. And here's why. Because he was up against these people. Yeah, this is the competition.
Starting point is 00:23:28 No, not good. That's all right. You guys are making faces. Go on. Something sounded like they showed up and then were like, oh, give it a go. Bestie, go.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Well, hold on. Let's hear the boy first. Okay. He did it really, really well give it a go while I'm here. Well, hold on. Let's hear the boy first. Okay. They did it really, really well. Okay. This is him. Cooper. That part's good.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Wow. Incredible, right? Man, he deserves to win. Wow. That was actually pretty epic. Yeah. Susie, I don't know. Meg, you go first.
Starting point is 00:24:01 No, thank you. You may go first. Oh, I didn't know they cough. Is that all the time we've got? Probably, yeah. I think so. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky boot.
Starting point is 00:24:17 This is a bit of a weird one. Yesterday on the show, we talked about, or we did a phone-up. I'm not religious, but how do you explain? Because weirdly, my son, during Grace, did a bit of a power play and he said, thank you, Lord, for the food. And also I pray that we get to play Mario Kart tonight as a family and that you would make Mum win.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Because he knew Mum's, I think, deep down the one who's going to be like, no, we're not playing Mario Kart. You've got to get to bed. So by incorporating her into the prayer, he's manipulated her in a way that she's gone, alright, turns out she's normally pretty bad. Yeah. She got first twice.
Starting point is 00:24:48 The first two races she got twice and I was second to her both times. Proves the existence of God. And then I was like, right, more study is needed. Sorry. I think before people are going to commit their lives to something. Right. I don't think anybody listened yesterday and goes,
Starting point is 00:25:01 actually, there's something in this. I'm going to commit my life to religion. Following the Lord. Yeah, I'm going to become a priest. So last night I was like, well, let's see if we can pray that she sucks again. And if she sucks again, well, then maybe it's true. Poor Jamie. Think about that.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Her whole family praying that she sucks at a game. Yeah, but now you're playing with the Lord as well. And the Lord's not going to like that. He probably likes Jamie more than you. so he's going to back her. The Lord has better things to do. Let's see then what happened, because when I told my wife we had to play again, she was like, why? Because then you go to bed.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I was like, I need to pray that you suck and see if it works. You told her beforehand? Well, we did the prayer as a family again, because I was like, well, that's how it worked last time. So I've got to try and make sure we've done exactly the same thing. Dear Lord, thank you for the food we've already eaten and we pray that mum would lose at Mario Kart. Amen.
Starting point is 00:25:53 Amen. Amen. Oh, Lord, stop giving me bananas. Stop it. Oh, God, I'm driving so crap. Oh, no, how awful. I'm driving not driving as crap as you. Oh no, that's awful, no.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yes, the Lord works in mysterious ways. How are we going to step on that? Oh, who linked me? I can't see where I'm going. Jamie was not happy, she knew how much was riding on the line. Really, because it sounds like she's throwing it on purpose. No, because it was almost like she wants to win but then she's also like if she loses it's like win-win for her. I think she's
Starting point is 00:26:28 to me that's her Jamie's a great actress that was bad acting from her and I think she's throwing it to prove the law to her family. Or is God like
Starting point is 00:26:35 inside her controlling her? Oh my God. Has he has he gone up in there? Let's fast forward to the end of lap three.
Starting point is 00:26:44 This is how it worked out. Oh, I won! No! I didn't win! Oh, I got fifth! What is going on? The rest I can't do. But the Lord didn't answer our prayers.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Mum won again. So wait, so she ended up winning again. She won. Was it God? I think what happened was the Lord answered the prayer the first time. Second time, he doesn't care anymore. He left. Or was he inside her for half the race and then he got a call?
Starting point is 00:27:16 Yeah. And he's like, shit, I'm going to have to leave. And he sort of went out again. That's right, the famine. Yeah, he's like, oh God. I knew there was something to do. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:25 We're like, we still can't eat over here in Africa. And he's like, shit, sorry guys, I've got to go. Oh yeah, sorry's like, oh God. I knew there was something to do. Yeah. Yeah. We're like, we still can't eat over here in Africa. And he's like, shit, sorry guys, I've got to go. Oh yeah, sorry. Jamie, keep going. I don't know what's happened. We can't beat my wife at Mario Kart at the moment. Even with, like, supernatural powers. Or she's just talented.
Starting point is 00:27:41 When did she get good? You don't just get good at Mario Kart. You can just get good. Yes, it's called practice. Yeah, but she doesn't. She never practices. Are we done with Jesus and we try another god? Jehovah.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I heard he's quite good. Or do we go... Who's the one with all the arms? Geisha? Yep. Yeah, the Indian god. But the elephant head. Yeah, you know, one of your friends is Indian, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:28:03 Or maybe the devil has slipped into your household. Oh. I've got to say it. Wow. That could have happened. Maybe God left and the devil went in. Yep. My wife's saying my wife's possessed.
Starting point is 00:28:15 We've got to look too far, guys, with this, I think. Okay. When did you want the ground to swallow you up? I saw somebody posted about this online and I grabbed the comments. So what happened? I do love when someone this online and I grabbed the comments. So what happened? I do love when someone vents online and then the whole internet
Starting point is 00:28:28 just comes and starts joining the thread and sends it like to some crazy viral level. Clint, Meg and Dan. Hey, are you the type of person that finds yourself in situations often
Starting point is 00:28:36 where you're like, oh my God, I wish I was anywhere but here. I want the ground to swallow me up. I wish I never said that. I wish I wasn't part of this. I feel like all three of us
Starting point is 00:28:43 have had these situations many times. Yeah, very much so. It would be a close race between you, Meg, and Dan, I think. Who's you, Meg, and Dan? No, you, Meg, and then Dan. Only one time comes to mind when somebody came over to me and I was
Starting point is 00:28:57 emceeing some event and she put her arms out and I was like, oh, she's friendly. So I went in for a hug and it turns out she was reaching up to a cabinet that was behind me and quite high and she wasn't going in for a hug at all. I must say this actually happened to be on the weekend just very quickly. I was parked in a Parents with Prams thing and I was getting my kid out of the car and this lady parked in next to me and I was like getting George into the pram
Starting point is 00:29:21 and she goes, isn't this fantastic, these kids with prams parks? And I go, yeah, God, they're amazing. And she was talking to her friend who had just arrived and I'd piped up and gone, yeah, they're amazing. And then realised that her friend was like, yeah, they are good. And I'm like, oh, God. And then I just continued to go in the conversation with them just to cover up that I thought it was awful.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I've had one like that this week. Isn't it awful? Oh, nightmare. Okay, so these are some comments that I found online on a post that were viral about this. This man kept making noises in front of me while checking out groceries
Starting point is 00:29:50 and I thought he was sneezing so I kept saying, bless you. And after the fifth time, I said, bless you to him. He turned around and said, I've got Tourette's, can you stop?
Starting point is 00:30:01 Oh, but in fairness to her, she's being lovely. She didn't know. I know, but I mean, five bless you's, I feel like to her, she's being lovely. She didn't know. I know, but five bless yous, I feel like to a stranger, one is enough. I feel like you use one bless you as a blanket for any future sneezes still to come. Yes. I went to get my blood drawn at the phlebotomist. Is that about right?
Starting point is 00:30:18 A phlebotomist? A phlebotomist, that's what they're called, isn't it? Yeah. I've never heard that saying before. Don't go enough to really know. And they said, I'm ready to take your blood in a Dracula accent. They said it like that? Yes. As a joke, I'm just...
Starting point is 00:30:34 Man, they must do that all the time, man. Because you'd think, like, it must have been their first date. No, you're not rocking that gag on first date. No, because you're not doing it after, like, four months of working there. Oh, I don't know. You'd be like, oh, God. She said, answered back in a Dracula accent, said, oh, gay. But it was actually the woman's accent, and she was just speaking.
Starting point is 00:30:55 She really was, like, from Transylvania. Oh, God. So she just was. Oh, I'm ready for you today, kid. She's like, why are you talking like me? It's only going to take three seconds. One. Ma. Two.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Oh my god. And you're going to lie there while she takes your blood for like 45 minutes? You'd just be like, oh, you're feeling fighty. I refused to serve a man in my bar because I thought he was too drunk, but it turns out he had had a stroke a few months prior and was learning to speak again and his family had to come up and
Starting point is 00:31:26 tell me. That's actually a good hack though, if you get turned away. No, it isn't. No, don't listen to that. What, pretend you've had a stroke? I don't know. Where do we sit on that? No, we don't sit on that. I don't sit on that. Do you sit on that, Dad? I'm not, what am I sitting on again? I don't want to sit on it either now.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Now that Meg's definitely against it. I want to be against it too. Okay, we'll go through more of these next. 0800 The Edge. If you've had a moment recently where you're like, oh my God, I just wanted the ground to absolutely swallow me up and take me right then and there. 0800 The Edge or 3343.
Starting point is 00:31:56 We've got a double pass to our favourite caller. Our must-see movie, Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts. It is in cinemas today. And also what happened between one of us and a disabled lady? Meg, I hope that's a story about you or her. No, it's about Clint.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Oh my God. We want to know when did you want the ground to absolutely swallow you up and just take you away from the situation you'd found yourself in? Another comment on this post
Starting point is 00:32:20 was I asked a client if she'd been on vacation because she looked so tans. Skin looked different but she was actually dying and had jaundice. Jaundice. Jaundice, sorry. Liver shutting down, I think. So it had gone a bit yellow.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Again, what is she? She didn't know? Yeah, you're just making like what is that? You're just doing like chit chat? Just that mundane small talk? I feel like I could pick jaundice from a tan. I don't know. Me too.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Maybe I'm speaking out. You think so. You haven't seen them in a long time. I walked into a movie theatre after it had already started, trying to find my seat, sat down, sat right on top of somebody else. No cinema is that dark. It must have been a dark cinema. No cinema is that dark. Maybe it was the a dark cinema. No cinema is that dark.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Maybe it was the lady that had joined us who couldn't see it. Stop, stop. We've got Jackie on 0800 the ear. Hey, Jackie. Hi, how are you doing? Good, Jack. What was the thing that you made you want to be swallowed up? Okay, well, I'm a support worker,
Starting point is 00:33:23 and I was looking up this ugly lady one. She was a't need both socks anyway. No, she just had one. No, no. She was a one-legged lady. She's like, I don't carry around two socks because there's really no need. And she said to have us all the time, don't worry. Yeah, I think that...
Starting point is 00:33:58 I think she'd speak up a little earlier. Yeah, you had fun with it maybe after a while. Maybe that's it. You're like, oh, she's looking for another sock. Oh, front footed. Excuse the pun. But I'd go, you know what,
Starting point is 00:34:06 I've only got one leg. So don't just, whenever you're finding shoes or socks, just find one of them. Excuse the awkwardness. Somebody said, I thought the term
Starting point is 00:34:14 conception meant birth back in high school. I very publicly told my class in high school that my aunt was present for my conception. Ten years later, my brain still hates me.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Oh, yes. Oh, delicious. I think there'd be some places in the world where maybe the aunt was. Oh, don't. Hi, Russell. Hey, morning, bro.
Starting point is 00:34:37 When did you want the ground to swallow you up? Oh, man, a couple of years back, my brother was married to this, we called her Blonde Bombo. She used to mess him around quite regularly and eventually divorced her.
Starting point is 00:34:51 I landed up about a year or so later going to a friend of a friend's 50th birthday party out on a farm. And while we were at the farm, we were all standing around having beers around the fire and we were discussing. She was there. I saw her walking in and then we were discussing her and her infidelity and the way she had treated my brother
Starting point is 00:35:08 over the years. But I wasn't being very polite and kind about it to the boys. And then, needless to say, the guy whose 50th birthday it was decided that he was going to propose to her at his 50th in front of everybody. Oh, so you were talking about his future
Starting point is 00:35:26 Beyonce to his face? You didn't realise this? Oh my God. I didn't know. I thought she was just at the party. I'll tell you something now, that was the fastest beeline I ever made and the quickest I distanced myself
Starting point is 00:35:38 from them people. Wow. Are they still together now, out of interest? No, no, no. The relationship didn't even last a year. So now you're in a mum good run. Don't want to say I told you so, but even.
Starting point is 00:35:52 The writing was on the wall. Hey, hold there, Russell. We'll send you a double pass at Marvel Studios, Thunderbolts. It's in cinemas. Today it is our must-see movie. Thanks for your call, bro. We're going to have this text from Jennifer. I dropped some gherkins while in the supermarket.
Starting point is 00:36:03 They went everywhere. Then I tried to walk away and slipped in them. It's like, it's like, ah, it's just karma. Exactly,
Starting point is 00:36:13 if you're not going to clean it up. There's nothing funnier than slipping on a gherkin, eh? And one more, we'll just end on this. This happened to me many years ago, probably like five years ago. I was picking up,
Starting point is 00:36:22 my wife used to work at the hospital and I was picking her up one day and I was in the pickup drop off zone, which is supposed to just be very quick. And I was behind a car and it was sitting there for at least two minutes, two, three minutes. I was like, this idiot is like stopped in the drop off zone and they're not dropping anyone off. So I laid on the horn and I put my hand out the window. I was like, what the hell are you doing? Then the roof rack started moving on the top of the car and it turns out that this person had a wheelchair on their car
Starting point is 00:36:48 and it was a special wheelchair car and the person was a paraplegic. And the reason that they were parked there is because they were wanting to get into their wheelchair. And that's why it's taking a while. It takes a little longer to get out when you're not as able. Did you just turn around and drive away? I wish I could have, Meg,
Starting point is 00:37:04 but there was a car behind me. Shut up! So I literally just sit there while she got into the car, gave me the worst evils. Clint, Meg and Dan. We've got to catch up with Alex Warren. He's got the biggest song in the country yesterday, just after the show. But we were given a super specific interview time.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah, very, very specific. And we were like, what? How busy is this dude? But he was very punctual. Give it up for Alex Warren. very specific. And we were like, what? How busy is this dude? But he was very punctual. Give it up for Alex Ward. How are you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Really good. Alex, we were just raving about you. We were like, we've never had an interview in our lives that has been so, like, 10.36, and we're like, there's no way. And sure enough, up you pop, 10.36 on the dot. Mean as a jewel. Unbelievable. Hey.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Love it. Surely not. Like, 10.36, no one is that busy and that skewed. Maybe you are, bro. You're amazing. Okay, Alex, thank you so much. Oh, I love that. For chatting to us this morning. Your songs, Alex,
Starting point is 00:38:08 are the songs that play at the top of every hour. So as soon as news plays and what they call that on radio, an A-rotate, which means it's the biggest song on the edge because it is the biggest song in New Zealand. Oh, f***. I don't know if I can say that. Yes, we swear away.
Starting point is 00:38:24 If I was number one, I'd say, oh, f*** too. Yeah, we love you. Oh, God, I love that. Thank you so much. I wonder if a lot of the success, Alex, is down to the fact that I've been doing some research for this interview, and you base a lot of your songs, I don't know if you're still doing this, but early in your career, it was apparently inspired by worship music. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I grew up in the church and it's something where the melodies and everything really inspired what you hear today. Yeah, Christian music has got a lot of bangers, like Shout to the Lord. Oh my God. Some of the best ballads known to man. Clint, who is here with us.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Hosanna in the highest. Oh mate, don't get me started. Dude, yes, you guys are fun out deep cuts. Also, so you would have seen, I know you've seen Alex because I have seen that you've been reposted about it. Your song Ordinary went more than usual viral, viral, viral because one lovely young lady
Starting point is 00:39:17 said it'd be the perfect song to walk down a wedding aisle to. And unfortunately she... She might have got the timings off just a little bit. I joined in on it. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Yeah, bless her, right? I love this. It's like, it's so funny because it's technically you're able to walk down the aisle.
Starting point is 00:39:36 It's just the timing she chose. Which is so adorable. And honestly, I think it's funny too because it's like, it's just a fun thing where you know this is such a serious song and you can also
Starting point is 00:39:48 make funny videos with it and I love it I love no matter if it's a hate video or I love if you notice I will literally repost hate videos of this song as well of people who think this song is terrible and I'm like you know what pop off yeah it's horrible yeah it seems everything
Starting point is 00:40:04 you do like all the songs you release just go really well. I don't know if it's like they're just catchy, they're well written. I don't know what it is, but we've just started a band, the three of us, ourselves.
Starting point is 00:40:13 We're complete novices. None of us play an instrument whatsoever. It's a bad start. Meg's playing drums. Clint is playing lead guitar. I'm playing rhythm guitar. We're currently in the process of choosing a song
Starting point is 00:40:25 that could be our first song to learn to be able to perform as a band. Alex Warren, I'd love to know what your opinion is of a great first song to learn as a band. Wet Ass B****. Brilliant stuff. And it's locked in. Meg already knows the moves.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I know the moves. I'm intrigued. And Alex, who doesn't want to see a seven-month pregnant woman doing the wet-ass dance? Whilst drumming as well. If you can do that and drum, I will be thoroughly impressed. We'll get part two of that interview with Alex Warren when he talks about the celebrities he's hanging out with now. Also his relationship with Ed Sheeran.
Starting point is 00:40:59 He gives a tour of his tour bus as well. He's a lovely guy. He was, eh? One of my favourite interviews we've done in ages. Yeah, he's really cool. So, I don't know about a suggestion for the band, though. No, probably not.
Starting point is 00:41:10 No. I don't know how much there is actually guitar in... Oh, well then maybe we do have a look at it. Not easier for us to play. Can we all on me? Let's do the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Clint, Meg and Dan. Hathaway. Eat. Hey. Okay, I did say that I would purchase one item of the vending machine to my group, to you boys, to the producers, if they could guess the Subway order in front of me of the woman who, when I was in the Subway store. Then it came outwards onto the show, and now we have a vending machine box from the vending
Starting point is 00:41:40 machine company of goodies. The prize continues to jackpot because it is a very difficult game when there are 2,300 different combinations. Three items in this Subway six-inch tub. It was Italian herbs and cheese. It includes, like, meats, salads, sauces, everything. Three ingredients. So you're counting sauces as an ingredient.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And can I at least catch the new listeners up to speed with the closest guess, which was yesterday? Yeah, I have all the closest guesses, if you like them, Clive. Okay, yeah. And by the way, you have to get on air to be able to make the guess, otherwise it could come through at any time. Sure. Mozzarella, capsaicin,
Starting point is 00:42:19 and olives. Lettuce, smoked cheese, and carrot. Mozzarella, carrot, and gherkin. Okay. And are they all equally close? Ah, yes. Here's my now new theory. The carrot doubles up twice in there.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I reckon they've gone cheese, onion, and then one other thing like a sauce. I reckon they've gone maybe mozzarella, onion and a ham. That's your guess. You get a ham. That's your guess. You get one guess. That's his guess. Meg can only tell you at the end if you're the closest. Okay, let's go to Ashley. Ashley, what was the Subway order?
Starting point is 00:42:52 Three ingredients. I think it was gherkin, mozzarella, cheese and olives. Mozzarella, cheese and olives. Incorrect. Sorry, Ashley. That is an awful Sub too, by the way. But I think it needs to be for it to have stood out in Meg's mind And had her losing sleep over it
Starting point is 00:43:08 Unusual yeah Charlotte what was the Subway order? Was it Gherkin Swiss cheese and ham That has been guessed before That is incorrect I'm sorry Charlotte
Starting point is 00:43:22 I don't think there's any protein in it I. I don't think there's any protein in it. I agree. I don't think there's any ham. Tony. What's some of the closest guesses we've had? What is your guess? I think spinach, carrot and olive. Oh.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yuck. There's nothing good in there. Spinach, carrot and olive. That is a really bad order. It's dry. There's no sauce. It's just all vegetables. Yuck.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Spinach, carrot and olive. No. No, Tony, that was not the order. That's all vegetables. And there's carrot and olives. No. No, Tony, that was not the order. That is the most disgusting guess we've had so far. That's the word. Right. Okay. And Shelly.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Oh, Smelly Hole. Hi, Smelly Hole. Oh, gosh. Hi, man. In these contexts, Shelly Cole used to get called Smelly Hole in school and we've changed her name in the system to Smelly Hole. It makes me hysterical.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Thanks, guys. Appreciate that. What is your guess on the Subway Sub? Three ingredients. Okay. hole in school and we've changed her name in the system to smelly hole. Thanks for being hysterical. Thanks, guys. Appreciate that. What is your guess on the Subway sub? Three ingredients. Okay. Mozzarella, olives, and jalapenos. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Another dry sandwich. Olives, jalapenos. Like yuck. Mozzarella, olives, and jalapenos. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Shelley. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Okay. I'm going to have my guess as well. I'm going to keep with two of the items that I had that I think are right. I'm going to go mozzarella and gherkin. No, mozzarella and carrot. I'm going to get rid of the gherkin. I'm going to swap that for onion. So I'm going to go onion, carrot, and mozzarella cheese.
Starting point is 00:44:47 The closest guess to the Subway sub is Clint, yet again. Really? Okay, so I reckon it's mozzarella. Mozzarella and carrot. What is the third item? That's what I think. I was, gherkin was off yesterday, onion was off today. I think it's, I could be wrong, but I'm in my loins.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Do I have loins? I'm getting excited. Okay. I'm feeling but I'm in my loins. Do I have loins? I'm getting excited. You'd be weird if you didn't. I'm feeling like I'm so close. Maybe that's the third ingredient. Loins. All right, back again tomorrow. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Only two people know, Meg and Sam. And the only reason Sam knows is because she's moving to Australia and she said she needed to know before she left. And the woman that ordered it. She could win. Mozzarella, carrot and what? Clint, Meg and Dan. We had an idea on the show and now a few weeks on,
Starting point is 00:45:32 we're wondering if it was a bad idea. Take a listen. We should start a band. Clint, Meg and Dan are on a mission to see if they can start a band with zero prior music experience. The problem is, Dan, just one teeny tiny little issue. None of us play instruments. The instruments were decided.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Meg on the drums, Clint on lead guitar, and Dan playing rhythm. Oh, we'll work on that. We auditioned for Kiwi artist Mitch James, and I don't think it went too well because he said this. Love you all individually. I do not love you as a band. Okay. So with Mitch out of the picture,
Starting point is 00:46:07 we are now looking for a gig and that brings us to today. Yeah. Why are we putting together a band if we don't have anywhere to play? Yeah, you need, as a band, you need a gig, right?
Starting point is 00:46:19 And I think that will give us something to work to. Say someone comes on and they're saying, we're having a wedding. We're doing it the wrong way round. We need to, like, impress people, have a jam, show we can show things off.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, to be fair, if I had a wedding, I wouldn't hire a band if I'd never heard them play before. Guys, I think you're assuming that we're going to be able to impress someone. Let's lock them in now and disappoint them at the gig. Right, and then also, whenever the gig is, we'll have a deadline. Yes. Which is important, whenever the gig is, we'll have a deadline. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:45 Which is important. We all work better when we've got a deadline. Yeah. Otherwise we're procrastinators. A hundred percent. Okay. So we're going to cast the net wide.
Starting point is 00:46:53 It could be anything. Maybe you've got an event that's coming up in your life. I don't think it could be anything. I think we should all get one veto of a gig we don't want to play at. Like, you know how intimidating high school kids can be? I definitely don't want to play at an Like, you know how intimidating high school kids can be?
Starting point is 00:47:05 I definitely don't want to play at an assembly or a hall or any sort of school thing. I don't need the judgment from, what are they, Gen Alpha or Gen Z in school? I don't even know anymore, but they both scare me. If it's a ball, if it's a ball and there's alcohol involved, that's fine. Because, I mean, when people are drinking,
Starting point is 00:47:23 they're a bit more chill. Kylie says, insane, who's the singer? We haven't even decided that yet, Kylie. Stop going too far ahead, Kylie. We might all have to go. We'll have auditions. I look. Okay, do you have a veto, Meg, or no?
Starting point is 00:47:37 I'm just with you. I don't particularly want to do, like, a school assembly. Meg. Yeah, great. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Dan, I don't. We don't. Dan, I don't. We don't have the luxury to veto stuff. We've had no offers. I am sweating at the mere thought of doing a song in front of some school kids. Do you know Nesha Mystic? They played at my school and people still found a way to be like,
Starting point is 00:47:58 oh, they're a big shit. They were crap live though. Oh, no. Nesha Mystic are awesome. How dare you? Can you wash your mouth out, Webby? No. You just can't impress high school kids.
Starting point is 00:48:07 So no, thank you. Do you have something that is coming up soon where you would want some free entertainment? Yeah. Wait, wait. Or do we get them to pay for it? No, we do it free. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Okay, okay. Guys, we don't have the luxury of payment. First one's free, I think. And so then you, yeah, exactly. And it has to be quite specific. Can you believe you got, yeah, exactly. And it has to be quite specific. Can you believe you got MCDC for free? So it has to be quite specific. Maybe you've got a wedding and you want one song performed.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Probably just one. Probably by the time we can, yeah. And I think we should veto Walking Down the Aisle songs. I don't want to ruin that moment. A lot of pressure. It's too much. But if they choose it, that's on them. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Another timeline. Would love to do it before I give birth. We're looking at before July. Okay. We've got someone that's come through already, our first offer. Come to the Petaru Cafe and we can perform there. A function centre.
Starting point is 00:48:58 We will host a community day for you. A community day. A community day. I feel like a day gig's a little bit sad. Now, somebody has said, what about my nana's rest time? They're mostly deaf. Well, let's go for a slightly younger demographic than 90-year-olds. Okay, so our producer Neeps is in the band.
Starting point is 00:49:16 He's going to be playing bass in ours. So he's going to be like, I guess, I hope your other band members know that you're also moonlighting. I'm trying to keep this quiet from them, to be honest. I feel like I'm cheating on them. What's the worst gig you've ever played? Oh, it's got to be like a 13-year-old napier leading the band at the Invercargill City Library. Oh, you've got to be quiet in the library.
Starting point is 00:49:36 There are five nannies, and that's about it. And my grandparents included. So that was the worst one I had, yeah. Wow. That is sad. I wouldn't recommend playing at a library okay so we're vetoing that all we've done is veto stuff okay uh if you've got what you think might be the perfect gig for MCDC coming up and you're like damn we just need entertainment for this
Starting point is 00:49:55 amazing event and you have zero budget wow wow wow we're the best in our class range baby we're on a mission to see if three mates can start a band and play a full song with no prior musical experience or ability. Our band name was decided yesterday, MCDC. Ugh. Yeah, Meg doesn't like it
Starting point is 00:50:10 because my initials are in twice. I feel like you have to explain it. No, but someone else has just said because you think
Starting point is 00:50:17 it's Meg Clint, Dan Clint. So you have to explain it. Someone else has said it could just be Meg can, Dan can, without Clinton
Starting point is 00:50:24 in it at all. And Clint can't. I like that better. And Clint can't, to be fair. But be Meg can, Dan can, without Clinton in it all. And Clint can't. I like that better. And Clint can't, to be fair. But the thing is, we need a... Okay, we don't have a singer, we don't have a song, but we do need a performance to spur us on to practice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:37 What I am laughing at is that a lot of people have said, you can play at my house, will you, if you like? Nobody's begging for us. It's almost like we're holding them at gunpoint going, and they're kind of like, fine, yeah, okay. I guess if you need something. Also, Christina said, you can play at my 43rd. It's 23rd of May.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Three weeks? Is that enough time? I don't know. It's better than Luke who said that you can play this Sunday. Oh, no, sorry, Luke. There's no way, mate. We haven't even started stretching. What's the venue, Luke?
Starting point is 00:51:08 So, Cambridge Racquet Club, 1st of June, Sunday. 1st of June, King's birthday weekend. Oh, okay. Well, you just said it was this Sunday. No, it's the Sunday night of King's birthday weekend. Oh, this Sunday. Okay. Okay. Well, that makes things different because that gives us enough time.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Wait, what's the audience numbers like? What are you expecting? I'm expecting around 200 people. All the top squash players. But the thing is, there's a committee that would have to decide. So you'd have to get a demo or at least a trailer so I can convince them that you're not going to
Starting point is 00:51:47 absolutely be rubbish and embarrass me. We might be. It's free entertainment. They're not paying. How many on the board? I think it's about five or six. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:58 It feels like another audition. It does, and I don't want to do it. Thanks, Luke. I don't want to do another audition. I don't know if I can handle the rejection twice. It's like American Idol, but want to do another audition. I don't know if I can handle the rejection twice. It's like American Idol, but with twice as many judges.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I think if you're wanting us to sign us up to do a gig, you just have to trust that we will do our best. Oh, yeah. Okay, what about Brenda? Oh, Brenda has said... What? Where can we play, Brenda? What's the gig?
Starting point is 00:52:21 What have you got? Oh, you can play at my friend's 50th at the end of May. Too old. Oh, no. I reckon a 50th would go hard. Oh, he's not, no, too old. No, the thing is, though, 50th is such a big celebration.
Starting point is 00:52:36 And again, you're saying you can. You're like, you're leading us, don't you? Wouldn't you want us there? Yeah, like, does everyone else? I want you there. Of course I want you there. Also, Brenda, would we be your... You'll be going there.
Starting point is 00:52:46 It'll be great. Would we be your present to your friend? Sorry, say that again? Would we be your present to your friend's fifth year? Of course, yes. Oh, I do like being a gift. Okay. That means you don't have to get a gift either, Brenda.
Starting point is 00:53:01 It's free. Yeah. So, yeah. Right, but it's an option. Pararoa Brewing said we could play there. They brew beer there. Oh, my goodness. It sounds free. Yeah. So yeah, but it's an option. Pararoa Brewing said we could play there. They brew beer there. It sounds like a good time.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Clint'll be drunk. We'll be rock and roll. Mo Rida, a lot of IPAs. We have Kate who said, please come, please,
Starting point is 00:53:15 I like that. She's begging. Please come and stay at our, oh, I think she means play, at our content studio opening. We're a social enterprise digital marketing agency
Starting point is 00:53:24 creating jobs for mums returning to work after maternity leave. Okay. There's a pregnant drummer in the band. Yes. There's some sort of connection there. Synergy. Synergy. It sounds like they want sort of a little bit of credibility,
Starting point is 00:53:36 and I don't know if that's what our band offers, but it is an option. But there's an option. If they're talking about mums returning to work after maternity leave and there's a pregnant drummer you're not going to find that out. If you haven't got your suggestion in yet for what you think might be the perfect first gig for MCDC keep them coming through 3343. I think
Starting point is 00:53:53 we need 24 hours to decide. At least. And she says we are welcome to stay the night if we want as well. Oh, for accommodation as well. Now we're talking. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Now, Dan has been telling us he is about to become the Robert Irwin of New Zealand, whatever that means.
Starting point is 00:54:12 Yeah. I got an email yesterday. And it's an email that, I'll be honest, I never thought I'd receive. And it was an email from Jockey, the brand that does undies. I know Dan Carter in the past has done stuff for them. The direct competitor to Bonds, obviously Robert Irwin, just a few weeks ago, is
Starting point is 00:54:33 now the face of Bonds. He blew the internet up. It's been fixed since, but for a long time it was very broken. Yeah, absolutely. That was a very intelligent marketing move from Bonds. And so I got an email from Jockey saying that they want to work with me. Huh.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Did they say that you're going to be the face of Jockey? Well, not necessarily the face. The package. Are you going to be the package? Are you going to be their model, their main model like Robert? I don't know details yet, Meg. I don't know details. Meg can't even hold a straight face with just a question. Well, no, no, it like Robert. I don't know details yet, Meg. I don't know details. Meg can't even hold a straight face
Starting point is 00:55:06 when she asks the question. Oh, no, no. It could be. It could be. It could be like the pin-up guy for... A jockey moving into hats. Moving into... Hats.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Like fedoras. Jockey fedoras. It turns out Dan's the model. Look, as I said, I don't know details. I'm assuming it's still knickers, okay? I'm assuming they're still wearing, it's still an undies situation. I think if you're going to wear them and be the ambassador,
Starting point is 00:55:32 I think they call them boxes or briefs. Right, okay, so I need to get the wording right. I don't know if they want you to say jockey knickers. So I've signed up. It's happening. I'm the guy that is going to be, I'm guessing the face. I'm imagining they've got a lot of faces and I'm just one of the many faces. Well, you're going to be the face in the body if you're going to be a model for Jockey.
Starting point is 00:55:48 I don't think you do. I don't think you do nude stuff. You don't hate doing nude stuff. Well, I don't want to be nude. I've got undies on. You put nude topless. You don't wear tops. Are you going to Winnie the Pooh it?
Starting point is 00:55:57 You'll be the first Jockey model to Winnie the Pooh. You can't put a little red T-shirt on and your Jockey knickers. But Jockeys do singlets, don't they? They do singlets, jockeys. So I could put on a singlet and undies. I don't know. And then what, are you going to model with animals like Robert? I'm confused about how you're New Zealand's Robert Irwin.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Well, we're both undie ambassadors. That's the only similarity. Unless you were right, Megan, they're branching out into hats or earrings. Okay, well, Robert was holding dangerous animals or reptiles. He had lizards and snakes and spiders and whatever. What's Dan's
Starting point is 00:56:34 thing? Yeah, well, I think Robert's kind of sewed up the animal thing. That's his thing, so maybe they want me to hold something else. If you've got a suggestion of what I could hold while I'm in my undies, I'm open to all ideas, because we haven't come up with a concept yet. Oh, you've got a suggestion of what I could hold while I'm in my undies, I'm all open to all ideas because we haven't come up with a concept yet.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Oh, you've got your electric guitar these days. That's pretty cool. Yeah, true. Oh, you can really push the band, push MCDC while you're doing your... Christy's saying that
Starting point is 00:56:55 Jockey do socks as well. I'll be gutted if they just want me to put a pair of socks on. Although we do know that Dan has the best bum in the industry. We have said this before.
Starting point is 00:57:04 And I think probably that's what Jockey have heard about. They've probably heard about this legendary ass. We want a piece of that ass. And so they're getting me in a pair of their... Clint, did you turn it down first? I haven't checked my junk. Clint's got a bit of a rubbish... He's got a rubbish butt.
Starting point is 00:57:19 Doesn't he really? There's nothing there. There's no cushion for the pushing. There's absolutely nothing. So you know what? Well, most of the Irwin shots, to be fair, I think they were all front on. And he's got a nothing there. There's no cushion for the pushing. There's absolutely nothing. So you know what? Well, most of the Irwin shots, though, to be fair, I think they were all front on. And he's got a lot there.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Oh, no, I'm not. Oh, my God. Someone said his jockey branching out to adult nappy. Yes, get him. Extra absorbent ones for men. Get him. Honestly, if I get sent the merch and it's that, I will die. I will die.
Starting point is 00:57:46 I will die. Okay, so when are we going to hear more about you being a jockey model? Who are you alongside? Or have they just got dead? I haven't heard my other fellow jockey models. I'm imagining I'm one of many. I'm not going to be the poster boy just for them, just one guy. Watch this space.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Tony's just said, please just hold the undies in your hand. I'll try my best, Tony. I can't promise. I imagine... Be wearing a bear as well, though. Yeah. I'd imagine they're wanting me to be wearing them. Get up, Dan.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Show us the undies you're wearing this morning. No. Pardon? Well, if you're going to be a jockey model, you need to get used to it. Why won't you show me your undies? I'm guessing you're wearing jockeys. No, I want to see them.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Are you wearing jockeys? Okay. You're an ambassador? Go on. No? I'm guessing you're wearing jockeys. No, I want to see them. Are you wearing jockeys? Okay. You're an ambassador? Go on. No, I'm not quite an ambassador at the moment. I think there's a period of time. I'm wearing bonds. They're bonds. Yeah. Oh. Well, so what you're
Starting point is 00:58:37 saying is this waistband is still for sale because they haven't officially signed the contract. Yes. So, you know, once I will bleed jockey. I'll bleed jockey. I will. You'll get nervous. Is there a vacuum cleaner included?
Starting point is 00:58:51 Piss off. Clint, Meg and Dan. Very lucky to be able to catch up with the artist with the biggest song in New Zealand right now. Give it up for Alex Warren! You are obviously well loved in the industry. I want to talk to you about the photo on your Twitter or whatever
Starting point is 00:59:23 it's called these days, you, Lana Del Rey, Machine Gun Kelly, Jelly Roll and Shibuzy together. Can you explain that photo? What was happening? That's crazy. Yeah, they were granting my make-a-wish, I guess. I don't know. I felt so out of place in that group, but I was so blessed to be there. Truly, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:41 They're just so sweet. And it was crazy that, like that like you know it seemed like Lana knew who I was or at least knew my song which was absolutely mind-boggling and she is such a sweetheart MGK is so nice as well and Jelly is such a peach for even letting me be on the same stage and being blessed to be a part of that group and at Brandon Lake oh my goodness what a sweetheart and I've been texting Chibusi and all these guys about it and it's just been's just been so cool. And I feel like I made some really great friends out of that. Yeah, also hanging out with Ed Sheeran. I mean, name drop after name drop.
Starting point is 01:00:11 That's Ed. Like Ed is, and I told him this, he's the reason I got into this. And he has, we've been emailing every single day since I saw him. And it's just been so helpful, I guess. Like he's been here and he's been such a great mentor, but also just such a kind friend. And I battle with, like, a lot of things.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I'm like, you know, if my ears don't work and I sound bad at a huge moment or I have troubles, he's been through it all. And he's been really, really open about, like, he tells me all the time,
Starting point is 01:00:37 he's like, please, tell me what's going on. I want to help you. And he's been so cool. Do you want to know another cool thing he turned in last time he was on our show? I was talking to him a bit, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:45 I don't know if you're as cool, Alex, but I mean, last time we had him on, it was just around Christmas time, and we said, like, you're the type of person that when you have a beat or a lyric and then you kind of, like, record it into your voice notes, like, you might hear a tune, you go, that'd be cool in a song. Ed Sheeran was like, oh, my God, wait there, hold on. And then he brought up an unfinished Christmas song he did with Elton John and played it through his laptop as her his ipad to us before it was ever released anywhere like two months
Starting point is 01:01:09 before christmas i don't have any of that i am so boring oh my god okay great and that's the end of the interview honestly i probably have different octaves of farts on my voice oh my god i don't think i could even be close to doing that. He's so cool. Like, I swear to God, Ed Sheeran would hear like, would hear someone's burp
Starting point is 01:01:30 and turn that into a beat. Yeah. It's so sick. I mean, Alex, I know we do have to wrap up, but thank you so much for talking with us
Starting point is 01:01:36 and we hope to chat to you again. You're a lot of fun. Oh yeah, man, you're awesome. Where are you sitting by the way? Thanks for having me, seriously.
Starting point is 01:01:43 I'm in my tour bus right now. I was going to say, you look like a tour bus. Wow. It's like red, and then this is where you can only pee. You can't shit. Wow. No one wants to clean up Alex Warren's poo. Do you have a bar?
Starting point is 01:01:57 Ice is supposed to go in there, and then, yeah. Oh, this is my favorite. I like the PB&J, so they put Uncrustables in a martini. Love that. And how many beds? How many does it sleep? You were just showing us the bedroom. There's 12 beds and one back bed where I sleep.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Right. Oh, so you get the big double at the end. I have my dog with me, and it's really hard to sleep in a thing like that with my dog. That's so cool. That's so cool, Alex. Man, so next time you see a bus if you're, where are you now, you see a bus driving down the road, that could be Alex Warren
Starting point is 01:02:27 in the back of that asleep. Not a f***ing clue. I woke up in a random city. I'm about to find out after this. I don't know why, but I just, I imagine the outside of the tour bus is Alex's face
Starting point is 01:02:38 with a big, like, goofy, like, thumbs up. Buy tickets today. Alex, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Such a lovely guy. Biggest song in the country too. With Ordinary at the moment. Super talent, eh?
Starting point is 01:02:51 Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boot. And our Webgill ballad joins us in studio for the Gen Z quiz. If she gets a perfect score, she never has to play again. Normally she sits around that one or two out of five, but she has hit four out of five once in her career. I think she holds the record for the highest of all the Gen Zs that have taken part in the Gen Z quiz.
Starting point is 01:03:10 You can say you're the smartest. You guys have said different, but... But no one yet has got the elusive five out of five. Otherwise we will end the game. A couple of ticks here. Daniel says, I reckon Bella's going to smash it today. And Lisa says, I impregnate cows and get them pregnant and then I check them four months later.
Starting point is 01:03:28 I don't think that's got to do with this. Yeah. Or maybe she's just proving how smart she is. I don't know. Anyway, here is your first question, Bella. We're going for five out of five. I've made it really easy. Okay, first question.
Starting point is 01:03:39 This song is from what movie series? She knows it. She knows. Look at that smile. Come on. Toy Story? Yes. She's off to a great start.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Okay, then name this 90s TV show. Listen, Uncle Phil... Silence. If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you. Hello, Mr. Banks. What's she doing here? Uncle Phil, she wandered over lonely and crying, and I didn't have the heart to turn her away.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Hit the bricks, you little... You've heard two Uncle Phils now. Uncle Phils, and you've heard the voice of the actual person the show's named after. The show's named after someone. And who's the chick? No. Dr. Phil.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Dr. Phil! No. No, Fresh Prince of Balea. Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil! No. No. Fresh Prince of Balea. Peter Uncle Phil. No, I've never seen that. Yeah, and actually it's not really named after him
Starting point is 01:04:32 but Will Smith plays Will Smith in that series and I remember him saying when he started doing the show someone said I think the show's going to be so big
Starting point is 01:04:42 you should use your real name or you'll always be known as your character name. So that's why Will Smith used Will Smith. Very smart. Oh, I think the show's going to be so big, you should use your real name or you'll always be known as your character name. So that's why Will Smith used Will Smith. Very smart. Oh, I didn't know that. Very smart. No, you didn't know that.
Starting point is 01:04:50 You thought that was Dr. Phil. Uncle Phil has actually passed away, the actor that played Uncle Phil, sadly. Yeah, R.I.P. Third question. So you've got one out of two so far. Here's your next question. What part of the body would this toy attach to?
Starting point is 01:05:17 I want to say the floor. Come on, everybody. We'll take it. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking those, like, things you used to hop. Yeah, I used to have them. But's ankle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking those things you used to hop. Yeah. You would swing it around. Yeah, I used to have them. But they didn't have any number counting things.
Starting point is 01:05:30 Yeah. Maybe they did away with the number counting in the 2000s. Yeah. I'll take it, I'll take it. All right, let's see if you can get this one. Two points. So two out of three so far. Who sings this song? With the bird in the shed, it's a lonely view.
Starting point is 01:05:45 With the bird in the shed, it's a lonely view. With the perfect shade, it's a lonely view. Oh, the chillies. Yes. Bella, you're doing so well. Okay, you get five out of five. But I could get four. Okay, so to get four out of five and equal your best score, your final question.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Yeah. What is this the theme tune to? This was after, this was 2000s. Oh yeah, but we even talked to Gracie Abrams and she said this is the show she's gone back and re-watched. Oh, Bella, you were at the interview, that is a huge clue. You filmed it, you edited the video. She said in the
Starting point is 01:06:23 quick fire, this is the show she's binging at the moment. Breaking Bad. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no. Quinn gave me the clue. Oh, my gosh. I wish I got this one. Anyway, I'll take four.

Book your stay today at laquintaparnell.co.nz. Ed Sheeran releasing a new song tomorrow. In fact, he's also released a brand new Instagram account
Starting point is 01:07:03 if you want to go and check it out. It's called Teddy's Old Phone and all he's uploaded onto the account are photos that his phone from 2015 had on them that he recently returned on. It's a lot of photos of him with the One Direction boys, Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 01:07:18 Trying to see who else is in there. It's a lot of throwbacks and nostalgia. Yeah, Teddy's Old Phone if you want to follow it. He hung out a lot from what I've seen. A lot of photos with Harry Styles. Yeah, Teddy's old phone if you want to follow it. He hung out a lot from what I've seen. A lot of photos with Harry Styles.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah, and Niall. Yeah, and Niall. But like, he was obviously real good mates with the One Direction boys
Starting point is 01:07:34 when they were a band. I just cheat this morning because I wrote this up. 106,000 followers this morning and now 246,000 followers. Wow. So very quick.
Starting point is 01:07:44 But I mean, is he going to continue to drip feed more photos so it's worth following? Or has he just dropped them all already, you check it out and then you leave? Okay, that one came in, yeah, no, yeah, maybe. Oh, I think he'll still, it's all, it's song promo. The song that's coming out tomorrow is called Old Phone. So I think from tomorrow you might not get any more. Unless he gets a new phone every year and then he just uploads all the stuff from his old phone every year.
Starting point is 01:08:07 What I think he's actually done because I yeah he's whether he's recently made it private or not but yeah there's a hell of a lot of photos up there if you haven't seen I think it was relatively
Starting point is 01:08:16 unknown until this morning the account because he's been posting for a wee while but yeah if you can check it out Teddy's old phone and then he uploaded this this morning saying
Starting point is 01:08:24 I wrote old phone whilst in India finishing my album. It came by accident because I was jet lagged and woke up at 2am. Everyone else was asleep so I thought I might as well
Starting point is 01:08:32 write a song. Far out, do you know what I do at 2am when I have insomnia with this pregnancy? I'm guessing not write a song. No, I lie there and think about
Starting point is 01:08:39 all the things I have to fix. I go, I've got to do that, I've got to do that, I still haven't done that. Could you make those things into a song? Maybe I should do that. What if you got out of bed and fixed one or two of them?
Starting point is 01:08:49 At two in the morning? Well, I mean, just thinking about it. I don't think because I feel like the family, it's not like things I could fix there and then, otherwise I would have done it already. It's things like I've got to order that. Actually, I could do that. Yeah, you could order something.
Starting point is 01:09:01 That's one of the easiest things you could do. Everyone else was asleep, so I thought I might as well write the song. And this was my first idea on my notes. Here's me singing it on the beach in India after I wrote it. So then he got up and went on the beach and then just got out his guitar
Starting point is 01:09:14 and sung the song that he wrote on his phone at 2am. Have a listen. I found my old phone today In a box that I had hidden away hidden away nostalgia trying to lead me astray maybe i'll unwrite some wrongs i charge the battery again combinations because my passport how does he not attract the crowd doing that just It's a completely empty beach and it looks like it's very early in the morning. All right. Just sitting cross-legged and playing that that he'd just written.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He's asking people to go back to their old phone and have a look at it. I have two old phones that haven't turned on in, I don't even know how many years, in a box in my house. It's interesting going through old stuff. It's quite funny the charges, eh? I don't think it how many years, in a box in my house. It's interesting going through old stuff. It's quite funny the charges, eh? Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily even needing to go through my old phone. I feel like I've had old phones and my phone's just like updated all the photos. So I still have photos from probably like 15 years ago in my new phone.
Starting point is 01:10:16 He obviously doesn't have iCloud. No, yeah, I didn't have that. I've got a couple of old phones that definitely I wouldn't have, I definitely wouldn't have seen the photos in years and years, 10 years maybe. Also in popular opinion, and I don't want to sound like the guy that doesn't like Ed Sheeran, but that song's just, the lyrics to me are a bit naff.
Starting point is 01:10:33 I thought he was talking about how he plugged it in and charged it up. It's too literal for you. Yeah, it's a bit too literal. It's like Tom Steiner. Do you know that song? It's a bit of a throwback old school song. But Tom Steiner is literally somebody just described that they walk into a diner and then sit down and they look out the window and they see someone with an umbrella.
Starting point is 01:10:49 And I'm like, bloody hell, you've literally just written what has happened. I've loved it in a duty USB-C. It's quite literal anyway. It's out tomorrow. Sorry, Dan. Is life a little expensive at the moment and you just, like, count all your pennies and your budgeting? What if I told you I had a way that you could live life for free?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Bring it on. And never have to pay for anything ever again? Bring it on. What's the catch? You have to sign up to your Happy Clapper church or something. Who wants to live life for free? Free, free, free. Woo-hoo, me, me, me, please.
Starting point is 01:11:25 But the thing is, it sounds too good to be true, so there must be a catch, right? I don't think so. I even asked my brother, who put me onto this guy on Instagram, who's amassed almost 200,000 followers, who refuses to pay for anything. Like, he will pay for it, and then he gets the money back through playing blackjack.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Okay, and this is gambling. The break is over. Coming up next. This guy. We're not doing this. Clinton, this is gambling. No, I want to hear. It's gambling.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Yeah, but if I can make gambling work for me. Gambling's bad, obviously, when you lose, but then what if you've found a loophole in the system and they don't know about it? Listen to this guy. Meg's turned her chair. It's like the reverse of the voice. Listen to this guy. Meeks turned a chair. It's like the reverse of the voice. Listen to this guy. He gets a parking ticket for
Starting point is 01:12:08 $4 and he doesn't want to have to pay. Now listen to what he does. I'm going to show you guys how to get free parking. So you grab your parking slip. You put it in. It costs $4. You're actually in debt. $4. So what you have to do is take your card back and then you got to put $4 on this. Oh, we lost.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Now I got to put $10. this oh we lost so now i gotta put 10 come on okay i'm doing 30 now someone's behind us i don't give a i'm trying to get free parking dude this is not good i'm losing every single time 85 dollar bet all right we won free parking thank you there he goes he was in the hole about 80 odd bucks but he just kept doubling down until he made his money back plus the four4. You're literally describing gambling. And this is the second time he's talked about gambling on the show this week. I remember him in the last couple of days talking about gambling. Okay, listen though.
Starting point is 01:12:51 He filled up his car the other day on the latest Instagram video. It was $70. So he put a bet on for $70 and he lost. So he doubled it to $140 and he lost. He doubled it to $280 and he won. And effectively won back all the money he'd lost and he paid for his fuel. So I started looking into this because I'm like, isn't this a surefire way to pay for life
Starting point is 01:13:09 because all you have to do is win one time? It's called the Martingale betting system and it's a strategy where somebody doubles their bet after each loss aiming to recuperate all previous losses with one single win. But the house always wins. Only if you walk away. He keeps doubling down until he wins. Because he's very rich. What about the people
Starting point is 01:13:28 that don't have any more money other than $300 and then they start going to loan sharks and then they start... You need a savings buffer to start, I think. I mean, you're on a downhill slope to having your kids in the car. The boss is interested. I'm not interested.
Starting point is 01:13:43 The biggest scammer in the show. The house of words wins. Only if you walk away. That's the worst advice I've ever... That probably breaks every broadcast standard there is. No, because at the end you say, gamble responsibly. As long as that responsibility is you keep going back.
Starting point is 01:14:01 I don't know if you've mentioned that Meg's had her back to you the whole time. Which is weird because you keep turning around and talking to Mike. Yeah, I know. It's always that you've got your back to him. I'm not in the rake anymore. I'm a protest for this. Okay. Abysmal gambling break.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Well, if you want to follow him, hooligan Christian. I reached out to him. He's a Christian. He's a Christian. No wonder he likes him. You can just follow his journey. It's not for everyone. I reached out to Drake.
Starting point is 01:14:23 Get him on and he wanted $1,000 for the interview. We can make that, though. We can make that. If we just double down. And we've just got to stay in it. All right. We'll move on. We'll move on.
Starting point is 01:14:37 I don't think Meg's with us anymore. She's gone home. Holy shit. You made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our OnlyFans podcast, that is. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
