This is a podcast from Rover. Welcome to the podcast equivalent of a You Up text. Messy, slightly regrettable, but you'll still come back for more. This is the Clint McIndan podcast. Morning everyone. Invercargill, Queenstown, Gizzy, Dunedin, Hamilton. I've told you for the hundredth time, stop scratching it and take your antibiotics. It's Clint Magentad.

Kia ora, good morning. 6am Wednesday. Welcome. Wednesday really feels like a Thursday with Easter just around the corner. Speaking of, our Easter Megs are in production. They have been made, yeah. They've been finished. We don't have them in our hot little hands. The problem is, Meg, we're not going to have any time to change it if you're not happy with your image. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. And Meg's the only one, like, minutes before the show started, she got to see it. Dan and I were like, no, no, no, we want a surprise. I will say they are very clever at making chocolate egg out of a face. Right. Very clever, very clever. I feel like there's a but though.

Do I feel that if you... I mean, the thing is, you guys will say it does look like me, but I think... What have they not got right? Me wants a take two. Sounds like, have we ever got time?

Have we ever got time? No, Easter is Friday. No, they've done a great job. But... I'm glad they're not a production. Oh, you're glad they're not rolled out across all K-Mart's or warehouses. It was a limited run of two. Two, and that's great, and they're very fun. They're very fun!

They're very fun. Hey, if you want to get your hands on one, we'll give you a chance to win one of only two Easter Megs before 7 o'clock this morning, so we're going to look after our early morning listeners. Are you sure they haven't slightly melted or something? No, no, I think, looking at it, I think that it's really, I'm very proud and humbled.

Right. Yeah, because I guess it is, it's very personal when someone's making your face and then you go, have they got it wrong or do I really look like that to other people? Is that me? Yeah. Oh, that's exciting. Oh, good on you.

Oh, God, I can't wait to see it then. So we'll get that on our socials before seven. Plenty going on. Stan Walker as well has a brand new track. He's going to be joining us on the show at 7.30.

The video for it, I watched it last night. Phenomenal. Oh, he's a talented man. Oh, God, one of the most talented, eh? Yeah. Ridiculous.

And he'll show up like he's ready for the red carpet. He's always dressed immaculately. Yeah, that's true. I went with a non-offensive black T-shirt. Dan's wearing the jacket my mum made for him to look like Travis Kelsey. Yeah.

And I think I am looking like him. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. About to get into our 6am throwback. Stan Walker was an option. Obviously with him joining us on the show at 7 30. i'm looking forward to talking to stan i love stan walker i think he's one of new zealand's most talented artists easy yeah yeah and he's got a real cool head tattoo you know he used to always be about his hair and his fades and he always had interesting color now he's just shaved or at least in his latest video. And he's got a real cool head tattoo.

Yeah. I think if I was Borg, that's what I'd do. If my wife let you. I was about to say, if your wife let you and your mum let you, then maybe you could do a henna. Yeah. You could have your hair tattooed on. You could have a henna.

A lot of people do that. You could go to Turkey and do that. But no, Akon is having a birthday today. Akon. Now, he's had some hits Yeah, he is Man, oh man He actually disappeared from music for a while

And was like doing stuff in Africa And giving away a whole lot of money He's a good person Yeah, well he was doing a lot of really good stuff And then, I think it came out like a year or two ago That he was doing stuff that wasn't so good And it was like, oh, good and bad But what was it?

Oh, well, this article just says, Singer A-Com Pleads Not Guilty After Tossing Fan. Oh, maybe that was the scandal that came out. Tossing a fan? What, throwing someone? Throwing someone off stage. Could this be? Yeah.

Was he throwing them into the crowd to crowd surf and it all went wrong? Maybe, maybe. But I'm pretty sure he gave away a lot of money and he spent a lot of time in Africa, like trying to get clean water and all sorts went wrong. Maybe, maybe. But I'm pretty sure he gave away a lot of money and he spent a lot of time in Africa trying to get clean water and all sorts of stuff. Ooh, he also said, Aikon went on a sexist rant

and said that women need to understand their roles because a woman can never compare to a man, and I quote. Maybe that's the thing I'm thinking about. Now we're getting into murky waters. Let's stop before we play this song because I like his music. Find the good stuff he did.

He did a good thing. Okay, good thing, good thing. Men can just have a child by putting sperm in an incubator. What is the point of women? No, that's another need. What is the point of women? Just type in,

just type in, Akon helps Africa. Akon good help Africa. Okay. Okay. Let's see what that comes up with. He's never helped them. I think he did. I'm pretty sure. He lit them up. He gave them electricity. Okay. Okay. Let's see. That comes up with... He's never helped them. I think he did.

I'm pretty sure. He lit them up. He gave them electricity. Yeah. I thought it was water. Yeah, it was power. A lot of money. Solar power.

That cancels out all the sexist shit. He called it Acon Lighting Africa. So very ill-eased, selfish. He should have done it anonymously. No, he didn't. No. Very much so not. Come on.

He's like, hey, it don't matter. It don't matter. By the way, see that Come on, Akon. He's like, hey, it don't matter. It don't matter. By the way, see that light switch you've got? It's because of me. But 600 million Africans now have electricity because of Akon Lighting Power. 600 million? No, none of the women because they're pointless. You're just all men.

So yeah, Akon's just a success throwback. How old today? I don't know, man. You told me it was his birthday. Yeah, that's all I know Oh 50 50 Oh it's a big one

His birthday today Not 50 Like Dan said I think he just made up an age He's 52 It was 52 Yeah I did quick maths And the quick maths was inaccurate

Dan's like Dan's he's born in 73 50 Yeah so I don't know To be honest I wouldn't have said That Acon was in his 50s

He still looks quite young. If you see photos of him, but hey. Why don't they say black don't crack? You're allowed to say that? I don't think you can. Oh, I think it's a positive thing. Meaning like, you know, you just don't age as fast. That is true.

He's aged very well. That's all I'm going to say, 52. What's going on, team? What's been happening that we need to know about? What's the vibe check? Well, I wanted to just check in with Meg because we've been doing this thing we're doing where we're becoming a band. Oh, yeah. Past 72 hours.

Yeah. We're pushing forward with this, aren't we? We're putting together our own band, the three of us plus producer Nipia. I was practicing at home last night. My wife has an acoustic guitar and she told me to get out of the room after about half an hour. And I'm talking,

this is the very start of our journey of being in a band. And she's sick of me. You guys got to practice last night? I had a tiny half an hour, as I say. Fingers are so sore. So I had to bring in, it's very School of Rock,

so I brought in my eight-year-old son's electric guitar. It's quite small, so I think my hands are quite big for it and it's finding School of Rock. So I've brought in my eight-year-old son's electric guitar. It's quite small. So I think my hands are quite big for it and it's finding it quite difficult. And Patricia Carl brought in his little girl, Goldie's drum kit. Yes, which I haven't been able to practice on like you guys have been. It looked bigger in the video, but that's because Goldie is only like two or three

and was standing next to it. I don't know how I'm actually going to play it because I'm pregnant. But I will give it a go. A little of your arms will reach the cat. Yeah, I had no idea that we were doing, what's this, like an actual little homework. It says band homework. Yeah, I think we just thought it would be good to go away for 24 hours. When did you want to tell me?

Learn a little ditty. Well, when I say that I've been practising, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm literally doing my own little thing that I've made with a chord progression don't know what I'm doing. I'm literally doing my own little thing that I've made with a chord progression, the only two notes I know. I think it was just, it actually doesn't matter if you're good or bad. It's a starting mark

so we know what we're working with talent-wise and how far we've got to go. Well, I can tell you guys, I've never played the drums before in my life. So that would be... That's the talent we're working with there. That would be my beginner. Producer Carl,

they're an electric drum kit. Yeah, it's like just a little kind of kids electric drum kit. I didn't have drumsticks because at home we don't have drumsticks but Goldie plays

with just these salad servers. But you're quite naturally talented at anything, Meg, so I know that you'll be sweet with the salad servers. I say salad servers are the drumstick of the utensil world.

So I think they're the perfect thing. You're right to say that and that's what me and my daughter say too. And we all agree this is a stitch up on me that you guys have set up homework.

You both had your instruments last night. You both got time to practice them and I've just been given a kid's drum set with salad tongs. I'll tell you this.

You're the one that wanted to do drums. I will say this as well. When you hear my performance, you'll go, you practiced that? Yeah, at least you've got the defense make of, this is the first time I've slapped the skins, or whatever they say. What you could do is

during the song, or the break, you could go out and like maybe Neeps, producer Neeps who is a musician, could just teach you a little. Why don't you do the Phil Collins? That's the plan. Do-doom, do-doom, do-doom, do-doom, do-doom. It can't be that hard, can it? It can't be. It might be hard for somebody who has a ginormous belly

playing drums that are basically on the floor. Oh, it's not that big. Kids like... What? The drum kit. If Meg stands up next to it, the drum kit would be lucky if it goes above her knees. I reckon you'll be able to reach it. I think it's fine. Maybe we could put it on a box.

Oh, she's sitting down now. Okay. Here she goes. She's going to give it a go right now. There you go. Oh, why not? Okay. Can you hear that? No. Can't hear anything. Okay. Thank you, producer Nipia. Okay, so now Nipia's holding it. Okay, why don't you and me get it set up?

Why don't we have a little practice? Meg, let's do a little practice next. Okay, we'll get it set up and I'll run it through the desk so everyone can actually hear what Meg's doing. I'd hate for you to miss it. You're right, Meg, it looks ridiculous. Producer needs us to actually hold the stand up in the air and shake his ass.

I don't think Phil Collins deals with this sort of shit. We are looking to put together a band. We've been inspired by a few different things lately And Meg, even though her bass guitar Has finally made it back to her house After her mum's been story for 20 years Do you guys want to see it? Oh, did you bring it?

I brought it in, do you guys want to see it? Well, I'd prefer to just Go on Yeah, okay, we'll see it We're about to Meg's about to try drums Which is her chosen instrument in the band Even though she's never played them before, Clint.

So she's gone to get her bass guitar, which is pointless because she's not going to be playing it. But here she comes. Ready? Yeah. What's this called again? I think Lola or Layla. Yeah, okay.

Here it is. This is the bass guitar I bought as a 15-year-old to try and get a boyfriend. God, did you spill food over it or something? It's covered in like, oh, that's a nice guitar. Meg used to do or something? It's covered in like Oh, that's a nice guitar. Meg used to do this like as a table. Yeah, that is a nice guitar. Beautiful. Beautiful thing.

Okay. I like it. It is nice. I like this. It's got the vibe of real loosey-goosey morning. Yeah, it does. So we're just plugging it in. Yeah, just turn that up. Turning it up. There she goes. Oh, there she goes. Oh, wow. Yeah.

I think it's just as well she's playing drums, Clint. I mean, she's just kind of slapping it, isn't she? Yeah. Did you know any song? No, nothing. Nothing. That's right. Absolutely nothing. You didn't even...

Okay. Okay. So Meg is not going to be doing that. She is going to be on the drums. Now, you've never touched a drum set before. You were at Mission just before. We've got the drum set in studio. What you're going to do is walk over there.

Yes. And you're going to play a song which is very easy called... What is it? We Will Rock You by Queen. It's basically just two drums. You just need to do this part, man. Clint and I can provide the vocals. Sure.

And if you can keep the timing, because that's what we're looking for here. Again, can we please remind everyone, it is a child size on a pregnant size woman with salad tongs. Yeah, it's not an ideal conditions. The odds are stacked against you. It's like when people fight. They train at altitude, which isn't ideal. But then when they get on a, you know,

proper altitude sort of fighting environment, you kick ass. Okay, here we go. Okay. Alright, so we're gonna, we'll just let you start the beat and get comfortable, and then we'll come in with the lyrics. Please text us 3343 on feedback. We really need to know if this is going to work. Okay.

Okay. Okay, here we go. Here we go. You can just start, Meg, whenever you want. Wait, can I also say, I can't hear it, so... Can we...

Can we turn her up? This is a shocker. Okay. Okay, we've got some headphones for you, Meg. Can we turn your drum kit up? Just ramp it a bit. Okay.

As loud as it goes. Okay, that's it. Okay, we've been peaked out. Here we go. Come on. Just hit the jams. That's better. Okay.

Okay, we'll come with this next bar. A bit shaky at best. Here we go again. Okay. Buddy, you're a boy making big noise. Making it in the street. Gonna be a big man. Here we go again. Okay. Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise, make it in the street, gonna be a big man someday. We start again. I think I stuffed it.

Oh, for goodness sake. Just push through. Okay, sorry. Actually, there's two of us. One of us has it, the other one can just... Okay. Why don't I do the first verse, you do the second verse? Okay.

Here we go. Buddy, you're a boy, make a big noise, Here we go. Get in me. Keep it going. We will, we will rock you. Keep it going. Buddy, you're a young man, hot man, Stouty in the street, gonna be a big man. Someday you got butter on your face, Big disgrace,

Waving your banner all over the place. Singing we will, we will rock you. Sing it! We will, we will rock you. That's right, come on. Woo! I think you can just see Meg, she threw her drumstick up in the air and dropped it. And by drumstick you mean salad spoon.

Yes. Yes. Now I'm going to say this, she kept time Clint. She kept time. We're on to something. I like this bit because the guitar's like, we're all ready to come in. It could be a good practice song for us.

Oh, that's you though, Clint. Yeah. It gets tricky. I think, Meg, you were good. I mean, it was the simplest drum beat ever. But you've got potential. I think with the right song in our wheelhouse, I feel much more confident because in the beginning I was like,

this is going to be a train wreck. And I don't know how I tell the band that unfortunately I've been given another opportunity and I need to leave the band. Yeah. Lots of feedback, Meg. Epic as always. Spotify, here you come. Mark says, amazing, Meg.

You have a career. You the boys. Somewhat okay. Okay. Thank you, Meg. Epic, as always. Spotify, here you come. Mark says, amazing. Meg, you have a career. You, the boys. Somewhat okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Mark. Okay. Keep the feedback coming.

When do we get to hear your performances? That's going to be after eight? After eight, all of us are going to do a little ditty. Like, solo. You have to do a solo to show off your skills. Just to show where they currently are. Look at Meg's face. I think that's all she has.

That's all I've got. Oh, you've got an hour and a half to come up with a little solo thing where we can't carry you vocally. It was a look of absolute horror. Meg was like, what do you mean? I just backflipped in front of you. You want more? There is no more.

Yeah, we want a 1080. Clint, Meg and Dan. Let's go. Clint, Meg and Dan's scandal. Our scandal is lured this morning. Obviously something is happening. We're going to be getting an album. She actually hasn't in her 3 minute 15 voicemail let us know when

the song is actually coming out which I think most people would have listened to the whole thing waiting for either more music or an announcement of that sort but not the case. Have a listen to the voice message that you got. Oh, my God, hi. I'm so glad I have your number now.

I was really just like, we have to be able to talk like this. This is what I'm... This is how I'm sending messages all day. I'm in the zone. I'm not wanting to think too hard about it. That's where I tapped out, I think. I was like, yo, re-record it. I don't even watch reels that are that long.

This is literally me and her basically. Stressing about, like, capturing the moment with the right language. How far are we in, Clint? What if it's just about... We are 30 seconds. Yeah, okay. You could listen to this on two times speed and it'd still be slow. Okay, you know.

Okay, back in. I think they'll, you know, they definitely will. There will be a place for the newsletter. Okay, now bring it down again and we'll talk about other.

So yeah, we don't actually know when her new song is coming in. So she doesn't even say that at the end of the message. No, no. She doesn't go by the way

how come you're single. There's no actual announcement on when that is happening. Is she still talking though? Ooh, Coachella. This message. No, no, sorry, there's no actual announcement on when that is happening. Is she still talking though? Ooh, Coachella, this weekend. Yeah, yeah, she's still going for a while.

That's still going for a wee while. So her other albums were 2013, 2017, 2021. Is there a pattern every four years? True. So what was the last album

that was green light? No, last album was Solar Power. Solar Power, that's right. And that was 2021 and then before that, 2017, Solar Power. Solar Power, that's right. And that was 2021 and then before that, 2017, Mellow Drummer, before that, 2013.

So yeah, every four years. So we kind of got a call to it, really. Is she still going? Yeah. You know, like I could feel it behind me and...

That's not a voice message, that's a podcast. I was walking out over to the stage at dusk thinking about all the... Bring her back down here. Yeah, I mean, she is cool.

Oh, God, she's amazing. I can't wait for new music from Lorde. I will say that I was very disappointed with her Solar Power album. It's very different from what we used to... I think she's gone back to the melodrama, pure heroine roots. But is it different now that she's, you know,

like 27 and not 20? Yeah. You know, one time that she's, you know, like 27 and not 20? Yeah. You know, one time I was just, I was just getting takeaways once and she just was the person in front of me

getting takeaways. An international superstar and she was just picking up her Chinese takeaways. Like, you don't, you don't think of that.

You'd never imagine Miley Cyrus in New Zealand just picking up some Chinese takeaways and taking them home. She's got a great family behind her, though. Yeah.

Like, her sister and her mum, like, are just fantastic, so I think that they probably have a lot to do with it. Mm. Yeah, I can't wait for the new one. Um, anyway. Still trying to say hi.

I have not started this. I could have said that earlier. I have not started this again. It still has just under a minute to go. Wow. And these are really the last moments where Bring it moments where it's just us. Oh, my God.

I can't do it. I can't do the rest of it. Next on the show, what you got? We're going to put a few stories on your radar. If you mix alcohol, whether it be vodka, rum, bourbon with Coke, or Coke No Sugar or Diet Coke, there is one of those Cokes that will actually get you drunker faster than the other.

And the answer is to why. If you're someone that likes to mick Coke with your alcohol. I like to mick Coke. I like to mick Coke. I like to mick Coke. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. And some stories we want to chuck on your radar for the 16th of April.

It's Clint, Megan Dan's... What you got? What you got? All right. If you are someone that likes to have a little rum and coke or a little vodka coke, a study found that alcohol mixed with diet soda leads to significantly higher breath alcohol concentration than if you're mixing it with regular coke.

I wouldn't guess that purely for the fact that there's no sugar to suck in the stuff. Really? They don't say sugar sucks in the stuff. They just say it slows down alcohol absorption and your body absorbs the booze faster.

If you've got Coke, no sugar with your alcohol. It says, but even more surprising, drinkers didn't feel more intoxicated, making it easier to unknowingly cross the legal limit. Oh, wow. So it's not even like you get the like, oh, but I'm buzzing quicker. No, you don't get that.

It just means if you're blowing into a machine, you're going to read higher if you're having alcohol with Coke, no sugar. So what you're saying, the usable fact here is if you want to stay a little bit more sober. Have some sugar with it. Have some sugar with it. So it's the same with like soda and soda lime and gin sort of thing.

You know, soda. Wow. Yeah, wow. Which most people, I mean most of my friends would be doing a non-sugary drink. I would think if sugar slows down the alcohol absorption, then you would probably get drunker quicker. I also thought sugar was worse for hangovers. I always thought that. My friends would be like, oh, sugary drinks have made me feel, yeah.

Yeah. Not for me. Because you don't realise how much sugar I think you're putting away over a night if you're putting away like eight. Wow. That's a great fact. If you're looking to get on the housing market in New Zealand, there are a significant amount of places that it's actually cheaper to pay a mortgage, a fortnightly mortgage, than it is to pay for rent.

So I've got the list of them. Kawerau District, the South Taranaki District, Goa, South Waikato. And I'm looking at, so mortgage is about $405 and rent is about $550. Wow, that's cool. So then I guess you have to have a deposit together. Of course. This is not just like an easy way in, but it is over time.

You are going to be paying less significantly in these places. The Dungatiki, Ruapehu, Buller, Grey's District, Clutha, Gisborne, Invercargill. God, I thought we were going to just list a whole load of shitholes, but there's only a few of them in there. So if you're listening and you live there and you're renting, you're like, huh. And then on the other end of the scale,

I think it's Queenstown, where your rent is $730 a week, but your mortgage is $1,660. Wow. More than double the rent price to pay a mortgage in Queenstown. Yeah, yeah. Auckland would be up there. Yeah, Auckland's rent is $650 but the mortgage is $1,067.

So it is definitely interesting to look into if you're looking to move somewhere. And the story I've got is maybe a reason why Bluff is one of the cheapest places to buy a house is because there is a walkway a Department of Conservation walkway there that has been closed because of the amount of dog shit on it. So people are taking their dogs for walks there and they're pooing in there basically.

Now this is a quote. I thought it might be just a few little turns from dogs. I think it's more because this is a quote from a man from the Department of Conservation that he said he's sending workers in there. And they return after a day's

work. Think of this. This is a quote. Covered head to toe in dog excrement. Covered head to toe? How much crap is there? The boss is going to let us go home today unless we're covered in it. They're like, go, Johnny, just roll around.

Do they fall off it? I reckon he is exaggerating. It reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park where they see the sick triceratops. It's bigger than them. They're putting those long gloves in and trying to pull out the berries. Would you say this is bluff? This is bluff. All right, okay, it's $400 to send Dan down there.

I want to go down there. Can I go down there? Casey, the boss, hopefully he's listening, and walk through that walkway. And if I come back head to toe covered in dog crap, this is a true story. You can stay at my house as well, Dan. My house is 30 minutes away.

Tony and Warren will be happy to have you. Okay, so it's free accommodation? No bloody way. There's no way. There's no way that you would go for a walk and come back head to toe covered in dog shit. Well, he says he wouldn't wish it upon anyone. That's another quote.

Oh, my God. The dog should never be walking there. I reckon there's just one massive dog that's taken a huge dump. Or there's human beings. It's a close to the track. It's got to be bad, but it can't be as bad

as you're making out. Carved in head to toe. Alright, Easter Meg's next very, very limited run. Meg has finally seen the finished product of her face

being moulded into chocolate for your enjoyment. Let me just get a look before you go. Did you do it in dark, dark chocolate? Meg, I think, would just like them to just run it through the machine one more time.

No, no, look, it's a face. Right. But it's not your face, though. Well, it might. Clint, Meg and Dan. We've got Easter Megs to give away on the show tomorrow. It is, like it sounds, it's our Meg moulded into chocolate for Easter. Yeah, we got my face moulded from some photos

and then Devonport Chocolate have been the masterminds in being able to create this Meg, Meg's face, into edible delicious. Yeah, we were going to, there was a little debate. Yeah, deliciousness. There was a bit of debate about what kind of chocolate we'd use. I would have gone white chocolate, Meg, to match your complexion, but you've gone dark.

It's definitely milk chocolate. Right, okay. Yeah, it's milk chocolate. I don't know. Let's just glaze over the fact that that could be considered a little bit controversial. But it was just a real random idea

we threw out. And then, yeah, we appreciate Devonport Chocolate going, yeah, we could do that. So we appreciate you guys. I'm sure it's a very busy time for you around Easter. Give the gift of Handcraft gourmet chocolate.

Shop their range online. You can also shop in store, which is where Dan's going today because you've got to pick them up. Yeah, I might buy some extra stuff there. Yeah, could you? Because I've heard Davenport chocolate is delicious. They're the best. They're the best chocolate, especially for Easter and Valentine's Day and stuff.

They're the absolute best if you want to buy chocolate. But, okay, now look, the more I look at it, the more I think it's me. When I first saw it. Well, no, it is you. No, I know. But, I mean, when I first saw it, the more I think it's me. When I first saw it. Well, no, it is you. No, I know. But I mean, when I first saw it, I thought it was a little bit like Cristiano Ronaldo when he got a statue, if you know that. It was shocking.

People knew it was him, but when you put his face next to it, he was like. But now I look at it more and more. I'm like, actually, for somebody who was given like a photo of me. You're no actual physical mold. No, a photo of me. Clint and I haven't seen it. So you're going to hand us both a piece of paper and You're no actual physical mold. No, a photo of me. Clint and I haven't seen it, so you're going to hand us both a piece of paper and we're going to see it.

I think they've done a good job now. Hey, now I don't want to... Hey, hey, hey. Okay, now remember... Three days. Now I know. It's time to finish this whole thing. Is this Clint, Meg or Dan?

I would say Meg. Yes. No, but Clint, I will say this. Yes, they only had three days. And I don't want to call out shoddy workmanship. Because it's not that. It's not shoddy workmanship. It's amazing.

It looks like Meghan Markle. No, it's not that. It's not shoddy workmanship. But it's nice. Looks like Meghan Markle. And you. No, it's not. It looks more like Meghan Markle. Now, look. I thought you nailed your nose. The eyes. Oh, okay.

Oh, is that offensive? I thought I nailed your nose. Lips are lovely. High cheekbones. I can't get it. It's not you. And I think it's because of the skin colour. Maybe if they did.

It's very dark. Yeah. Hey, we've got two of these to give away. We're giving them away tomorrow, right? Easter eggs. Two of a kind. Actually, the face actually does take your attention away from your cleave. Well, that never happens.

To be honest, I don't think they've done that. You know it's not me. I don't think they've done the cleave justice for me. Yes. To be honest, I don't think they've done that. That's why you know it's not me. I don't think they've done the Cleve justice for me. Most people don't notice my eyes first. We need to get a photo up so everybody else can see it because I feel like we're keeping them in the dark, like the chocolate. But I mean, we really do need to get this up

so people can see and do a little bit of a vote if you think it looks like me. And then only two of them to be in existence in the world that we're giving away tomorrow, right? Eastermeeks. Do you look at how hard they must have been put together as well? Oh, incredible. Devonport Jogger when they said, yeah, we'll do it.

And once they started the first one, they were going, bloody hell, we're so busy right now. We don't have time for this. Oh, yeah, they'll be so busy. So thank you, Devonport Jogger. Thanks, guys. We love you guys. We'll be celebrating Easter with you. You do look delicious.

Thank you. Clint, what part would you eat first? Well, Sophie's choice. I'd eat the nose. It's quite big. Clint, what part would you eat first? Well, Sophie's choice. I'd eat the nose. It's quite big. Clint, Meg and Dan. Extreme cheapskate, something we do once a week. I'm fascinated by the ways in which some people try to save money. There are definitely

great ways you can save money and then there are some things where time is money and you're spending more time, I think, than it's worth. I would say my mum is a cheapskate in the way that she only buys anything ever on sale. I don't think she's ever bought anything full price, apart from things you have to, like groceries and things like that. Good on her.

I found her, she came over the weekend, flew up. I found her in the bathroom, hair dry in her shoes, because they're so worn down that when she walked in wet grass, they soaked through. And then I saw that her toes were covered in sticking blasters because they caused her blisters. And I'm like, Mum, please, can we get you new shoes? Mother's Day, Mother's Day.

And she was like, no, these ones are good. They feel like air. I'm like, that's not what shoes should feel like, Mum. That's because your feet are almost touching the ground. Thank you. I'm like, come on, Mum, please. But on the other hand, she's using power to keep those shoes operational. Like a blow dryer.

Drives me crazy. But we've been wanting, my husband especially wants to buy her shoes for birthday, Christmas, whatever. But it's very hard to buy somebody shoes without them trying them on. I've got a song for you, mum. I'm looking at you. She might as well be. I've seen Philippa before many times, and she's always got great shoes. I've always noticed her lovely shoes.

No, you have not. That is a lie. Yeah, it's a lie. That's a lie. Okay, well, one of my favourite shows that I realise actually aired in 2011, but it's getting a rerun on Apple Plus at the moment from TLC, Extreme Cheapskates. Take a listen. Kids leave toys all the time.

If they're unclaimed, why not pick them up and take it home with you? Because they're free. I collect breast milk for my friends. This is Jennifer's milk. Megan's, more Jessica's. In the summertime, when the kids are playing outside in the pool, we can utilize that afterwards to help clean our dishes. The breast milk one pisses me off because I had a friend, outside in the pool. We can utilise that afterwards to help clean our dishes. That's disgusting.

The breast milk one pisses me off because I had a friend, I wasn't at this party, but apparently she made a flan with her own breast milk. A flan? Yeah, like some sort of dessert where she'd made it with her own breast milk

and she expected people to eat that. You pathetic, disgusting. I don't care how expensive milk gets. I will never go, hmm, maybe I'll go and see if Meg's got some extra breast milk I can keep and use in my coffee. Can we see though that it is funny that we are open to

drinking cow's breast milk like an animal's breast milk is much more normalised than drinking human's milk that is made for humans? Yes, because I know this woman. I don't know the cow personally. I won't do that. I only get my milk from oats. Now. for humans? Yes, because I know this woman. I don't know the cow personally. I won't do that. I only get my milk from oats now. Me too.

Yeah, me too because of that. Because when you think about it, it is kind of just very bizarre. They were like, cows, I'll drink that breast milk, but that lady there, F no. Yeah. Like really, I mean, I get it. I wouldn't do the same. I'm not going to drink breast milk, but it is funny how we've been so normalised into cows

and the way that we get milk. Who was the person that first milked a cow? Exactly. And Glenn and Oat. And Oat's a weird thing to milk in a way. And even Armand. How hard are you going to squeeze them? Somebody dropped off.

But they actually said they were a bit of a, not a cheapskate, but they had their savings hack was to go to Zed and do the share fuel. Yeah. That almost seems illegal, the way that you can save money there. That's great. I've done that before when fuel was abnormally cheap for whatever reason.

Maybe sometimes going into long weekends and that, they might have sales. You can actually pre-pay for fuel and then it will like save it on your app. And then when you go and fill up, you're always paying the amount that you pre-paid.

So if it's $1.70, oh my God, that's a deal. You can buy $500 worth of fuel. And then when you fill up, it'll take it out So if it's $1.70, you're like, oh my God, that's a deal. You can buy $500 worth of fuel and then when you fill up, it'll take it out of there always at $1.70 even if it went up to $2.50 or whatever.

That's cool, eh? You guys have both tried breast milk though before, haven't you? I've just had a text come in. Accidentally, yep. No, I have never and I will never do it.

Daniel. No, and this is not a thing where I go, oh, and we can try it tomorrow. It's just not happening. It's not happening. I have breast milk. No, I think I not a thing where I go, oh, and we can try it tomorrow. It's just not happening. It's not happening. I have breasts that have milk. I think I remember Sharon squirting it in your mouth.

Yeah, she tried to, and I dodged it. Her aim was terrible. Not straight from the, you know. Yeah, she did that. Oh, God, yes. I remember that video. That's like saved. I have not seen that video.

It's like burned into my brain. It went in my eye a little bit bit and I got conjunctivitis. It's meant to clear up conjunctivitis. It didn't that time. It's so funny. We're asking you to call with your, I guess, money hacks if you're an extreme cheapskate or even a little bit of a cheapskate,

married to one, friends with one. But we ended up just doing a massive Guy Sebastian appreciation while the song was playing for some weird reason. Yeah, it started from Dan out of nowhere going, I'm going to say it, Guy Sebastian's really cool. Yeah. We were like, when did we say he wasn't? No, he's great.

I just love him. Love him to bits. Should we put it in the show tomorrow? You can get out of your system. You can do an appreciation break for Guy Sebastian. Yeah, I reckon. I mean, he is an amazing man. Well, first up, we're going to get to Ashley,

who has got to be other places than listening to us ramble on about Guy. Hi, Ashley. Hiya. Hi, what makes you a cheapskate or your partner a cheapskate? My partner. So our heater in the truck, we've got an old truck that we just used for hunting and the heater broke. It was going to cost a few hundred to fix,

so we brought a $12 12-volt one off of Timu and that was about five years later. Yeah, better big, better big. Or you just plug it into, like, the cigarette lighter. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's not bad. See, that's a good fix. You must be down south somewhere, Ashley,

to be able to, like, knee-kneed a heater in the car. Are you? No, because we go hunting over winter, so we've got all the kids in the car, so it's cold. So, yeah, we needed a heater. Yeah, right. And so, correctly if I'm wrong, so you're staying in the car, like, sleeping in there?

No, just when we go out during the day, when we're out in the bush, we can drive around in some of the box, so it's cold with all the kids so we put the heater on. Where does your cheapskateness start and end? Like if I send you to our must-see movie,

are you taking your own popcorn and stuff or are you buying it from the candy bar? Well, we're not allowed to take it in so it's just a big handbag. A big handbag.

Yeah, that's my girl. That's my girl. Yeah, I do. Yeah, yeah, that's nice. It's out in cinemas tomorrow. We've seen already it's my girl. Yeah, yeah, that's nice. It's on cinemas tomorrow. We've seen already. It's bloody good. Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan.

We'll send you a double pass. Now, I know Carl's trying to get this person on. Can I confirm, Carl, are we going to get them or no? Are they giving me a thing? I'm trying to convince her to come on. What's her name? What's her name? Oh, it looks like we might be getting them.

We've got to text her. I think we got them. What's her name? I don't even know your name. What's your name? No, no, I'm not going to say that. Okay, no name. Anonymous be getting them. We've got to text them. I think we got them. What's her name? I don't even know your name. What's your name? No, no, I'm not going to say that. Okay, no names. Anonymous.

Okay, anonymous. What are you doing? We can't even let you know who you are. No, it was her dad's dad. Oh, she's gone. She's chickened out. Oh, damn you. I'm going to read it because we don't know her name.

Yeah. My dad's dad, bless him, he's passed now, but he only ever bought one picked-in ferry crossing ticket for his wife. And he had some overalls, same overalls, sorry, as the workers. So he'd pop them on and walk in as if he were a worker on the ferry. Good on him. They did it for years to get to and from their holiday house in the sounds. So many other examples too.

They'd eat store-bought iced buns, then take the empty packet back and say it was stale. Good on him. So bad. He was a hoot. We loved him. And they had plenty of cash. Well, I would have guessed it with the fact that you said they had

a holiday house in the sounds. Oh, that's the only way you could afford it. Hey, and another little tip from Hayden. Maybe this is where Extreme Cheapest Gains will end up going. A money-saving tip for the movies, you buy the microwave popcorn, but normally you've got to pop it before you go in and then it's cold.

He says, no, no, you go and use the parents' room in a cinema and they have a microwave in there to heat up bottles and things. Do they? They do have a microwave. You've never been to a parents' room? No way. I've never seen a microwave in a parents' room. Really?

Yeah, like every single one. Go in there, pop it fresh, three minutes, and then you're back in the cinema with hot popcorn. Maybe I haven't been. I need to go into this. What else is in there? You need like every single one. Go in there, pop it fresh, three minutes, and then you're back in the cinema with hot popcorn. Maybe I haven't been. I need to go into this. What else is in there? You need to change your trials. What else is in there?

There's couches, there's TVs. What? TVs. Really? Yeah. TVs? Yeah, TVs. This is unbelievable.

Normally they're playing like Bluey or something. Yeah, that's a good if you need to zone out, though. Yeah. And someone else is like my wife. My wife does this, Hannah. They're reusing teabags. Because apparently you can reuse a teabag up to three times

and it doesn't lose the flavour each time you use it until like the fourth time. How much is a teabag? I know! But if you're doing that over a lifetime, you're making like 20 bucks. Yeah, okay.

Have your whole life. Sorry, man. Time's money. Clint, Meg and Dan. Candle with Meg. Well, Nancy's in hospital. Poor guy. I Time's money. Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal with Meg. Lil Nas X in hospital. Poor guy. I think Justin Bieber had this a little while ago.

Don't know if it's the same thing, but Ramsey Hunt Syndrome. Oh, yeah. Losing control of part of your face. You can hear, there's actually a video, if you would like to see it, text SCANDAL to 3343. I'll show the boys now as well, while you all listen to this audio of Lil Nas X watching himself in his phone and realising he can't move half his face.

You want a smell? This is me doing a full smell right now, by the way. It's like, what the f***? Oh, wow. I can't even laugh, right, bro? What the f***? Oh, my God. It's like he's had a stroke, so the left side of his face

just isn't moving and the right side is. So I'm just going to go like, it occurs when a facial nerve is affected because of a virus, causing symptoms like paralysis, ear pain, rash around the ear. Wow. Yeah, I'm guessing, I'm very much guessing. I just remember when Justin Bieber had it. Do you remember he had half the side of his face? Yeah, I remember a similar thing.

Yeah, he was trying to smile and it would only happen half the time. Yeah, Ramsey-Hunt syndrome. There's quite a few to smile and it would only happen half the time. Yeah, Ramsey Hunt syndrome. There's quite a few things that happen in America, like with tics. If you get Lyme disease, and I think Ramsey Hunt maybe is from it. I could be wrong on that one. But tics are really scary things. But it seems very common in America to get something from a tic. Yeah, I think good old New Zealand, maybe it's not as prevalent here because the tics.

We don't get tics. Do we have tics? You do. Yeah, we have tics ticks. Do we have ticks? You do. Oh, do we have ticks? Yeah, we have ticks in New Zealand. Like a lot of equestrian people that ride horses, my wife is always picking ticks off their horses.

Oh, but the ticks don't carry the same sort of diseases. Well, I don't know. I guess I'd imagine if it got onto a human, maybe there would be some side effects. Well, how come these ticks don't want to go on humans

but American ticks do? Maybe they like the flesh of Americans more. Wow. Who knows? Yeah. I heard of an uncle but American ticks do. Maybe they like the flesh of Americans more. Who knows? I heard of an uncle that got ticks once. He did a podcast. Normally I can do like here Dan, like a scandal liner to

like wrap it up and move on. I think you probably should do that. But I can't, I don't have one Dan. Right. I don't have one. Make one up then please. Okay. Scandals brought to you by Devonport Chocolates. Thank you for making my beer gig. Okay, so what's happened here is you've dropped the ball clip.

Meg's dropped the ball clip. Oh, hey, sorry. I threw out a crap gag because you guys kept debating whether you can get tics here or just over there. No, no, that's interesting. America has tics. And I was like, oh, God, how do I stop this? Tics doesn't even have a podcast anymore. We's interesting talk. America has tics and I was like, oh God, how do I stop this? I thought tics

doesn't even have a podcast anymore. We'll be better for our guests coming in next. Yeah, actually, Sam Walker's going to be joining us in the studio.

He's got a brand new song. I checked out the video to it. It's getting a bit of viral attention online at the moment. God, it was good and my daughter, who's nine,

obviously her attention span is Gen Alpha. It's very limited. She sat and watched the entire thing. Beautifully shot. Just so incredibly moving. God, he's talented. I don't know who he's been working with lately, but all the stuff he shoots.

Remember when he was riding that white horse down the beach? Oh, God. And I think he was holding the Maori flag and stuff. I was like, man, he evokes so much emotion. He is one of the most talented. I think he had a tie-ha and a few other things. Yeah, his vocal is just God's gift. Oh, yeah. It's a joy to hear. He's one of the most talented musicians

in the country. He'd enter a circle of life. No! Oh my God. Do yourself a favour and Google that. The Lion King, Stan Walker singing that. Beautiful. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stan Walker has been nominated for five Aotearoa Music Awards. He Walker has been nominated for five Altair Music Awards. He's the finalist in five categories.

He's won a lot over the years though, right? This is not his first rodeo. Nah. He's a very successful musician. You know what? I want to tell him about, I sort of credit a lot of his success because of me because I voted for him in Australian Idol. Oh, and you said, what, four minutes ago you're not arrogant?

How interesting. Oh, Produce Nibs, you voted for voted for him in Australian Idol. Oh, and you said, what, four minutes ago, you're not arrogant? How interesting. Oh, Producer Neeps, you voted for him as well in Australian Idol? Yeah. Yep, sure did. And Mum said I'm not allowed to come home to Invercargill unless I get a photo with him, so. Amazing. He's actually basically running into the building now.

I believe Producer Carl has his phone out. Carl, are you seeing him yet? Carl? Carl? Carl? They're actually live now. Here's the phone, bro. You can start the interview as we go. Actually, let me just use that. I need to swipe. So he's

in the building. Morning, Stan. Morena. I am walking. We are marching. In about 20 seconds, I imagine. You better show up puffed when you get in there right I'm already huffed and puffed I want a sheen on that forehead

Any second he's going to walk through the store We've been blowing so much smoke up your ass while we've been padding for you I wish you were here Here we go He's coming in now We will never be alone! Wow.

Yeah. Jackson, if you've got time, bro, take a seat. How good. We're just saying five Aotearoa Music Awards. Well, you've been nominated in five different categories. How many awards have you got now from the Music Awards? Oh, God, I actually wouldn't have a clue. Lost count?

Lost count? God, that's nice. No, that's not even like a, like, ugh, so many. I actually, like, I just wouldn't have a clue. Really? Lost count? God, that's nice. No, no, it's not even like, ugh, there's so many. I actually, like, I just don't know. Wow. Because half of them, like, I only just got my awards back in the last, like, five years. Yeah. Because half of them were sitting inside my niece's playhouse,

and the other half were, like, I don't even know. That's when you know you're good if you're not using the toys. You're just dissing them out. Yeah, but another Barbie. No, honestly, it was only because I was in between so many different living spaces. Yeah. And so they just happened to be in my niece's thing. I'm very grateful for them.

There's so much to talk to you about. A couple of weeks ago, you released Moa Ake Tonu. And watch the music video for that. I don't, is it your inspiration? Yeah, you directed it, right? It's incredible. There's a reason why it's going viral and people are just talking about it

because it's so different to anything I've ever seen. It's a lot of history. It's a lot of storytelling of our histories. I mean, the song is one thing, but involving Hana, the reason why she did her, like, where her pao comes from, the one that she did at Parliament and on the song, it's about Governor Gray.

It's about the time when he invaded with the British Army at Raniriri. So we're filming at Raniriri. We're sharing our stories, our histories that are not really quite, I guess, shared. And like, I don't know, like... In a mainstream way. In a mainstream way. Exactly what I wanted to talk to you about, Stan,

because a couple of weeks ago, a very famous pop star said that politics don't belong in pop music or pop stars are too busy to be political. And that was Chapel Rowan, who was an incredible artist, but I found that really interesting after watching what you create

and you literally put politics and politicians even into your music. So what do you say to comments that pop stars are too busy to be political and you shouldn't be turning to pop stars for political opinions? I mean, definitely don't turn to me. I'm just trying to share our stories and our histories. I think it's an important part of our history.

Also, my history where my tīpuna actually came and fought at Raniriri and helped. That place was a, when they talk about the New Zealand land wars, it wasn't a land war, it was an invasion. It was mainly, predominantly women and children who were murdered when they were trying to flee to the lake. So I'm trying to show the narrative of what's happened, but bring new life into a place where there was so much death

and also educate people this is actually our history. It doesn't matter if you're Maori or not, we actually, if you're part of this country and you call Aotearoa home, this is part of your history. And what a great way to do it in a palatable way like in music. Yeah, exactly. It's spread

far and wide and people can listen to it and sit down and hear the storytelling from you. Yeah, using a platform to talk about that rather than saying I'm too busy to do that, I think it's really inspirational. I mean, respect as well to do it because I imagine there'll be a lot of people go, oh hey, let's just do some upbeat tunes that everyone likes and it'll be just better for your music career.

And you're like, no, I've got an important message and if it's not what everyone likes, then that's okay because this is what I want to do and this is what I want to make and it's important to me. You know, I really love that. Oh, for me, I think I've just got into a point in my music, I think a while ago actually,

I just don't really care. I want to make music that makes me feel good, that I want to leave a mark on this world and like leave a legacy. And if it's slow all the way through, I mean, I want some upbeat music for myself, but I always just follow where my heart is heading towards. And for this moment, it's about sharing our shared histories,

the struggles, the generations of marching for our language, for our whenua, for our rights, for our people. It's a shared history that we all share. And if it wasn't for the Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we wouldn't be able to share in these things and live how we are today in Aotearoa. And we're so blessed, man, that we can live in a country

that we can all come together. And it's not like, I mean, there's people that are trying to bring division. All I'm trying to do is share our stories. It's not about division. We complain a lot in New Zealand about what we've got here, but man, oh man, we are very lucky to live in a country. Straight up.

I love our home. Oh my goodness me. And we still have music like this as well that we've been thrashing by the scenes before you came in. They listened to this three times in a row before you came in. This is, in my opinion, you came in this is this is my opinion you doing a montage of

Lion King songs one of in fact I would say the best vocal performance I've ever heard I think you're just so talented do yourself a favour

if you've never listened to this give this a spin because it is incredible is it in the background here four years ago

you dropped this do you remember doing this I feel like you're like, oh, just that. With the Levi's. Oh. Yeah, I understand. The Lion King is like the soundtrack to my life.

Oh, it's gorgeous. You can tell the way you sing it. It's like when people are like, oh, this soundtrack, especially for like this generation of Disney, like this generation, like in the last like 10, 15 years. It's crazy. When people don't even bring up The Lion King. It's like in the last 10, 15 years. It's crazy. Don't even bring up the Lion King. It's like your voice is built to sing it.

It's unbelievable. Stan Walker, man, we've chatted to you all morning. I know you've got other places to go, but all the best at the Aotearoa Music Awards and with the new track. We always appreciate your time. Door is always open, man. It's a privilege to have you on. Oh, much for again. Thank you. Stan Walker, everybody.

It's the 18th day for Meg and Dan. Clint, Meg and Dan. It is day three of the school holidays, so if you're noticing the roads are a little quieter, that'll be why, if you don't have kids, why you can enjoy a little bit more of a sleep in. Especially around this time, I'd imagine. On the flip side, though, you've got the kids to look after, you know?

So, yeah. A lot of holiday programmes, and like on holiday programs, they'll take them on field trips or even just throughout the year, kids will hang out for those field trip days where they get out of school for the day. And we've talked about this in the past of some of the worst field trips that you remember doing as a kid, because these days I think the kids' field trips are pretty good. Yeah, we've had some great ones in the past of like meat works and and and pack and save and save was my favorite and a lot of kids did that they all feature in

this montage for both of them take a listen we went to an all girls catholic school and they took us through a freezing works we had to watch animals get slaughtered everyone was crying and vomiting wow um the workers also thought it was funny to throw parts of the animal at us. We went to Thames back in time. No. That's the best part. Now school went to the sewage treatment waste water plant at Waikato River. Far out.

The thing is, though, all those trips I'd prefer to go to than school. Like, I'd rather go on a field trip. It changes as good as a holiday, right? Yeah. Oh, God, yeah. I personally would rather stay at school than go to the meat works or the sewage plant. I'm surprised that they did take kids there, to be honest, because that is a confronting thing to see. Where'd you guys go on field trips?

Is there ones that, for good or bad reasons? I went to the timber museum. That was absolutely boring. Oh, I always drive past and I go, who goes there? Timber, yeah, some schools. Who goes there? Howard College, that's who. But again, I'd rather go to the timber museum than sit in a maths class all day.

And I learnt a lot about timber that day. Tell me one fact you learnt from the timber museum. Very prevalent in New Zealand, timber. We, in fact, export a lot of timber to other countries because our timber is so much quality. Out of Ruakaka, they send it all off to China. I see the boats always loading up when I'm at mum and dad's. Somebody's texting saying we went to Christchurch women's prison.

Okay, just being like, behave kids and stay in school. This is where you could be. We went to Sentosa Island, which was quite cool. Where's Sentosa Island? In Singapore. It was an intermediate. It was a public school. This is the thing with Clint, hey? He tries to be relatable.

He tries to be a man of the people, but then he goes, he went to Sentosa Island in Singapore for a school trip. I remember they have one of those slides with the mats where it goes down, straight, down, straight, down, straight, and you race.

Think of that, Meg. My shitty school went to the Timber Museum. And he went to Singapore. Yeah, I can't even. It was after Japan. Well, I think maybe Japan was after Singapore. Well, you're already in Asia. You may as well just do the stop.

Did every student at that school get to go? It was an exchange-like program that we did in intermediate. Wow. Intermediate? So like you were 11, 12, 13 sort of age? Yeah, and I remember I got paired up with a family that owned like a strawberry farm. And they had an elevator in their house.

And I was like, jackpot, baby. I'd never even been on a plane when I was at intermediate school. Julie went to Spain for two weeks for a school trip. Damn. Wow. Get it, Joy. Who are these schools? The only reason I did geography in high school

is because we got to go to the Gold Coast. You went to the Gold Coast for high school? You're more travelled than me at the age of 13 than I am now. That is unbelievable. Okay, the good, the bad and the ugly school trips. Yeah. What have you got? I prefer the ugly stories, if I'm honest,

because the other ones just make me jealous. Yeah. The pack and saves. Yeah, the pack and saves, the coding museum, that's another goodie. Yeah, maritime museum. My kids have done that a few times. That's boring as hell. Is it? I haven't been to that one yet.

I mean, if you like boats, you'll love it. I don't like boats. I'm not even afraid to get in water, though. Yeah, you're going to hate it, Amy. The good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to school field trips. Looking back with school holidays this week, I wonder what some of them are up to. Although times have probably changed a lot since then.

Yeah. Okay. The school trip's still a thing, right? I mean, I've never sent a kid on a school trip, so I don't know. Michaela may not take her class on another one after what happened the first time. Michaela, you're a teacher or you're a parent helper? I am a teacher and it was my first year of teaching. Right.

Okay. I took my kids, my five and six-year-olds, on a trip to the local park. You know, that's not the worst trip you could ever go on. But it turned into wrangling animals at a zoo. Oh, God. Did they just go rogue? They went absolutely rogue. And it was like.

Feral. Yeah, it was hard work. It was like, wow, what have I got myself into? Did you lose any? Or did you come back with a number? Did you come back with a number you left with? Oh, yes. Just, I think. I think. Just and I think

and not. She lost two good kids that day. Wow. That's incredible, I guess. And did you have parent help or anything or was it just you? No, I had parent help and because it was my first day of teaching, I had to take another qualified teacher, but even so it was just chaos.

Like herding cats. Thanks, Michaela. Kat, good morning. Speaking of. Oh, good morning. How are you? You're good. All right, what happened on the field trip?

Is it where you went as a kid? Not yet. So I was a student. Must have been like fifth form for year 11. And I was geography class. And we went to a dairy farm when they were doing AB, so artificial insemination. Oh, right. Oh, right. Oh, AB. At what age?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. God, that poor cow having like 30 students from a class put their hand up its bottom. Oh, that poor cow. That poor cow. All right, Lisa, your turn. I told you you'd be disciplined now. Come on, school class.

Daisy's going to run away if we're not careful. Wow. And that was geography. Geography. I was over in the White Castle, so, you know, I suppose you were limited field trips. And it was an all-girls class, too. What?

Realising how blessed I was to go to the Gold Coast for geography. Yes, yes. Especially when you compare it to that one, Clint, yeah. We'd get back at, like, four in the morning from, like, going to the bars and clubs and stuff, and then the teachers would wake us up at seven and we'd be dog tired. And they'd be like, why are you guys so tired?

You guys, lights out was 10. Yeah, it was. At least you didn't have to put your hand up a cow's bottom. Yeah, true. Poor cow. Oh, the blessings. All right, Dan's Google history coming up after eight o'clock. Would you give your phone to your mates

and let them go rifling through the things you've been searching the last week? I'd suggest no. That's my advice to you. We're going to, I guess, stick our hand up the backside of Dan's digital footprint, I suppose you could say. Okay, as long as it's just my digital footprint. Clint, Meg and Dan.

What's in Dan's Google history? Is it sexy? Is it weird? Or is it all a great big mystery? Or something new and clear? Still makes no sense after all these years. Yeah. Makes no sense whatsoever.

One of the worst intros we've ever done. Okay. What has Dan been Googling this week? Well, if you've been listening to the show for the past couple of days, we are starting a band. Or have started a band. None of us can play an instrument, so it is going to be interesting. But we are going to take it really seriously.

We've all had the dream to be band people. Yeah, in a band. I think a lot of people have once in their life gone, you know what, I'd love to be in a band. And we're trying to see if we could do it. And the problem is I think Dan and I who are on guitar, you know how, I was going to say everyone, probably not everyone, but most people can pick up a guitar and play for 15 seconds

to make it seem like they can play, but then that's all you've memorised. Well, I can't. All right, so we're doing 30-second showcases coming up in a few minutes, actually. Yeah, after this, just to show our base people. But Dan did Google how quick learn guitar, how long band be good,

and how long Foo Fighters practise before Foo Fighters. Yes. So, how long? Turns out they were all in previous bands. Yeah, for a long time. One like Nirvana. So, yeah, there was a bit of practice before they became the Foo Fighters.

Yeah. I get it. So, did it inspire you or did it make you feel confident? It made me feel nervous. Right. And I did Google how long it takes to learn the basics,

just basics of guitar. Six months, Clint, it says. I think we should have a parachute date or ejector seat, whatever you want to call it, and at some point we go, I'm out, and the band's done. But once we go past that date, we've got to commit. I still think we're in the ejector seat week. I think if we just focus on one song, we might be okay.

It's when you start learning all the chords. Is your wife listening at the moment? Oh. I'm just wondering, is she listening? Yes, probably wife listening at the moment? Oh. I'm just wondering. Is she listening? Yes, probably. Your wife, Hannah? Yeah.

Why do you think you Googled secret money in relationship? Oh, because, no, now listen. All right. Okay. Okay. Because we are doing a phoner on it. Are we? Yeah, we're going to be talking about it.

Clint, is there a phoner about secret money and relationship? I mean, we can if it'll help you get out of trouble with your wife. I was just doing research for the show. Right, I can't see it. We have not talked about that in prep, but let's. And then, Dan, let me see your hands. Hold them up. Hold them up.

Yeah. Clint, what do you think? Do they have, like, standard-sized fingers to you? Yeah. Yeah, you wouldn't believe it because the man Googled hot yogurt, hot yogurt only for old people, benefits of hot Yoda, hot Yoda,

hot Yoda, and then in caps lock, hot yoga. Yes. I was trying to find hot yoga, Bikram. But then it kept going back to hot yogurt. Oh, yeah. Ew.

And I decided that's the thing and then Yoda came up. And then Yoda. And then hot Yoda. That's not Google's fault. You're not typing it in. Probably.

I don't know what was happening but it's auto-correcting to yogurt and I must say there's a lot of people that enjoy hot yogurt. The fact that Google

is even like there's no way he wants to do exercise it must be yogurt. It must be some sort of sweet treat or nerdy sexy thing. He means dairy.

So good week for you Dan. Listen Dan. Google history isn't sexy is it weird? How are those abs coming along? Well, once I start the hot yoghurt, they'll be great. Do you know what? I think hot yoghurt could probably give you abs from some, you know,

food poisoning too, to be fair. Yeah, maybe. Clint, Meg and Dan. That's what I have right now. A bit of crook guts. Anxiety. Yeah, you're right, Clint. It's giving me complete and utter fear.

Yeah, I don't know if we've been off more than we can chew. I genuinely do. I think we think it's going to be a hell of a lot easier than it actually is, but starting our own show band. Yeah, you guys have been practising all night? I blame you, Meg. I think you're the one who's been championing this more than any of us. I stand by that.

I stand by that. I honestly think we can do it. I don't know why you guys have no faith. Oh, I don't. It's not that we don't have faith and I actually am with you, Meg. I believe that we can

put together a band that can perform a song to a high level that people will be able to palate it and go, you know what, that is palatable. I don't know about a high level.

I'm on lead guitar. There must be things you can buy that you like, little like things you slide over your fingers. Thimbles. Yeah, maybe to stop them hurting when you're learning the guitar. The ends of my fingers are so sore. I think you just need to build up calluses. How long does that take?

A few months. Or you could just stop being a little pussy. They must have little like... Go to the spotlight and ask for some thimbles. You know what I was thinking? Getting like water balloons and just cutting the ends off and then just sliding them on. Just a little pussy. They must have a little, like... Go to Spotlight and ask for something. You know what I was thinking? Getting, like, water balloons and just cutting the ends off and then just sliding them on, just a little rubber... A little rubber glove.

Clint, do you think Jimi Hendrix or... No, cos he's dead, Dan. ..or another guitarist, which I can't think of right now, Dave Grohl, do you think they went, I'm so, so, so... No, cos he's too busy probably having sex with people that aren't his wife. Exactly, so act like a rock star.

OK, producer Neeps. Yeah, I reckon you could go down to the music shop and ask them for some finger socks, and then on the way back, ask Mitre 10 for a left-handed screwdriver as well. Okay, all right. Yeah, good call. I've got my eight-year-old son's electric guitar

that he got us to buy for his birthday and then quit lessons. I love that your son's eight-year-old guitar is, like, giving you finger calluses. Come on. Well, my wife's acoustic-year-old guitar is like giving you finger calluses. Come on. Well, my wife's acoustic, the strings were even like harder, so I was like, I'm not playing that. So, okay, we've learnt a little piece each.

What's your piece? It's like a, I think it's like an Eric Clapton riff before a song starts. Good, a new one then. Nice. Well, sorry, Lady Gaga doesn't do a lot of electric guitar. Okay, here he goes.

Just remember he's practised this week. 30 seconds, here we go. Ooh, I'm getting sweaty. Okay. Anytime. any time. What's it mean to me? Do we know the song? I've never,

it sort of rings a little bit of a bell. Guys, did you hear, did you guys hear what I did with my, listen to this part where it goes, oh wait, this part. This part, listen where it shakes. That's hard, I have to push quite hard.

Now I am starting to doubt it, Dan, I am starting to doubt it now. The thing is, look, I think he thinks we should be impressed by that, but unfortunately, he's the one that wanted to be lead guitarist. He put his hand up. What was that song? I recognise that. He goes, before you accuse me. You know the song?

Take a look at yourself. Anyway, producing Eaps or not, hey, do you know, picking and doing what I just did there is technically more difficult than they realise, right? Hold on. Yeah, you did a vibrato, which is wobble the strings a wee bit. Yeah.

That's advanced. I thought he was going to break into that song that goes, he lives in a pineapple under the sea. I could do this. That's Stan's role, I think. Yeah, I'm rhythm guitar, my friend. Okay, look, I think we're at a starting point. Okay.

I think you're okay. You've got a base level there that you can work from. That's such a shame. I spent three hours learning that. Meg? Yes, I'm drumming next. I don't have enough time for this band. I promise you.

Sorry, you've had three hours. I have had exactly about 30 seconds since the boys never told me this was the homework, and I have a drum kit at home. So I've just learned something now. I'm doing it next? Yeah. Or now? Okay, well, this is going to be good then.

And Dan's told me, Meg, he's got an original mold. Yeah, and yet the man is saying that he's really nervous about it. I'll tell you why. Because I put some work into it. I'm actually taking this seriously. Oh, so was I, Dan, if you told me that I had to learn something. The people on singing talent shows who do originals never go through to the next round. Meg should be our backbone if we are going to start a band because she decided she wants

to be on drums. And if you've just tuned in this morning, perfect timing because Meg is going to show us where her ability lies before we actually start practising and start putting together

some actual time on the skins. As a reminder, there is no ability. This is my first time ever sitting down with a pair of drums and also,

it's a kids drum set and I've got salad spoons as my I don't even know what they're called. Drumsticks. How do you not know they're called drumsticks and you wanted to be the drummer? I just had a blank claim because I can't believe I'm actually doing this and I've had absolutely no practice or

so we're just going to this is the best I got with what I've been given. Let's see if the lack of practice shows Meg. You're going to play us a piece which you've just prepared over the last two minutes. Just prepared over the last two minutes. Here we go. First time playing the drums.

Here we go. Can you hear that? Because I can't. Okay, yeah. Can you hear that? Yeah. Yes. Unfortunately.

I wish I was you. Okay. Okay. I walk a lonely road Only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But I walk And I walk alone Didn't even get the lyrics right.

Well, stop me there. Yeah, thank, ah, ah, ah. We'll stop you there. Yeah, thank you so much for coming in. It's a note from me. It's a quick note. It's a quick note. Now we'll stop you there. Sorry, you've kept going.

We've got a lot of people to see today. Yeah, okay, sorry. Thank you so much. Maybe next year. Now we're going to Dan. Dan Webby. Stick with it. I will say that.

Now I prepared a little piece. Now I'm like Phoebe Buffay from it. I will say that. Now, I prepared a little piece. Now, I'm like Phoebe Buffay from Friends. When she does Smelly Cat, I only know two chords. Okay? And I've tried to kind of piece them together into a song. Okay. Dan is on rhythmic guitar. Is that right?

Yeah. For the band at the moment? Yeah. And I've written a meg about a beautiful friend of mine. Okay? And I just threw this together last night. So I just wanted to... Thanks, buddy.

Okay, so here we go. I have a friend, she's so beautiful. I have a friend, she's so kind. I have a friend, she's so kind. I have a friend, she's so funny. I have a friend, her name's Meg. Sing it with me now. Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meg Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meggie, Meg It's a no from me as well. It's hard to sing it with you when we didn't know the lyrics. Well, it was an original song, like I said,

and I'd say I was the only person that put it together. Just a weird thing to say, sing it with me. I was waiting for you to start dissing me because normally it's like you were saying lots of nice things so I was waiting for the roundhouse kick to the head when she wasn't speaking up. Yeah, you know what? I had some stuff in there after it

where it goes into she did a meagre and she shat the bed and stuff, but I feel like I don't want to kick her while she's down. Yeah. Kind of just did. That was the roundhouse. Yeah. Yeah.

But I sort of felt like I just sort of take that out. So I think what we can see here is there is a baseline. There is really kind of like a talent baseline. What do we think? Because now we're starting to really realise, right, we are not ready. I don't like quitting. I tell my kids, if you're going to start something,

especially if it's with a team, you've got to commit, right? You've got to finish the term at least. So I don't want to quit you guys, but also sometimes you've got to know when your kid, you know, just is not going to be a professional footballer. I mean, I would like more than two and a half minutes to try, if that's okay. I know you guys had a few hours last night,

but maybe if we get a proper drum kit. I didn't have a few hours, as you can clear the air. Can we source some proper instruments? Because this is a kid's electric guitar. Meg's on a drum kit that doesn't even have all the drums. Producer Carl. Yeah, actually, good news on that.

Music Works have got in touch and said that they'd be keen to give you guys some decent instruments to play on. Was that before or after they heard what we just did? No.

Oh, actually, they're calling now. Hang on. Stand by on that, actually. They're cancelling that order. Okay, yeah, so I think one thing that will help

is good instruments. Yes. I mean, I'm playing with this crappy old guitar. Meg, you're playing with a kid's drum set. Clint, you're playing with a kid's guitar. I would say that's just a normal guitar, Dad. Yeah, Dan, you have the most adult instrument of all of us.

Anyway. They don't think you can get any upgrade from that. Yeah. So we'll get some professional instruments. I think we go away and we practice. We really commit to this. Okay, but I still think we need an ejector date where we go, if we're still not good enough

by a certain date, we're out. Because it could be funny, but we don't want to be made fun of. Is there anybody that can text through 3343 or 800 The Edge, what's an easy song that a band could learn within sort of a two, three week period where complete novices can nail it.

Right. Are they still keen? No, they're still keen. They just said, please don't bring their brand into disrepute. Okay. No pressure. And someone said to dip your fingers in meth,

it hardens your fingers if you want to learn the guitar. So I might give that a nudge. There you go. And methylated spirits, Clint. Yeah, not meth. Oh! Yeah. No, well, I don't have any of that at home.

Yeah. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. 30%! Uh-huh. So if you're in a group of three, chances are it's close to being one of you, in a relationship,

are keeping what secret from their partner? Yeah. And it is a common thing. And I would imagine, like, as I said before, I'd think, Meg, that there'd be more people than 30%,

that are maybe just not disclosing the money they spend in a marital environment. You're always getting a little shaky there, Dan. It is, eh? I don't... You guys always throw me under the bus like I keep secrets. I have... Look.

Go on. No, we're just letting you speak. Yeah, and I get an allowance. And so does my wife. We get an equal amount of allowance that we spend each week. And does that count when you go to the petrol station and then you fill up and then you buy something from the petrol station and it just looks like one purchase? One little pie.

Every now and then on the top of a fuel bill is not going to break up my marriage. Okay, and Hannah's listening. I know that right now. You just look at your phone. Okay, I know she's driving to work right now and I know that she's

going to go, hmm, I just don't think of mince and cheese. So then do you, do you have to save, like, because if you get a fortnightly allowance, sometimes we...

Hold on, is this a question thing for me or are we doing a thing with everybody else? Well, yeah, with everyone. We're just starting with you, I guess. Okay. Will you not spend any money on a fortnightly allowance. Hold on, is this a question thing for me or are we doing a thing with everybody else? Well, yeah, with everyone. We're just starting with you, I guess. Okay. Will you not spend any money on a fortnight

so then you can bank it up so that you can buy all those records that got delivered to work last week? The Japanese ones that were made in Japan, the three of them that you got that you said were very expensive and we weren't allowed to touch them. Oh, I was lying.

Japanese records are very cheap. Ham-pressed Japanese records. They're well-known. They're well-known Japanese records to be some of're well known they're well known Japanese records to be some of the cheapest records on offer

hand pressed ones yeah because they're pressed by hand I remember you being quite upset that you bought them as mint condition

and there was a little rip and you were not happy yeah because they were hand prints because they were made from hand that makes sense because you'd have to

buy the machine if you're going to press them so it'd be cheaper to press them by hand what are we talking about here what about hey let's leave it at that That makes sense because you'd have to buy the machine if you're going to press them. So it'd be cheaper to press them by hand. What are we talking about here?

What about, what about... Hey! Let's leave it at that. Do you wear that new LSKD hoodie around her or is it just a work? Because the one you thought you were going to get for free but then you do. Wow, I will say this. That was for free. I stole it. I went into the shop and I went into the shop and I stole it.

And it beeped as I left and I ran. I ran like the wind. That woman from L.A.'s KD chased me and she said, come back here. And I said, no. Okay, we are talking about secret bank accounts. This is how you spot the telltale signs of money secrets. I think my partner might be keeping money secrets from me. Your partner avoids money conversations, changing the subject or making a joke of it.

Or finding excuses why now is not a good time to discuss money. Interesting, interesting. I don't think there's been any joking in this previous conversation. There is a lot of secrets around their phone or laptop and changes in behaviour. They're often affectionate or accommodating,

potentially trying to compensate for the guilt they feel for spending money that they don't know about. Oh, that counts me out because I'm not affectionate in any way, shape or form. So maybe buying gifts for the person and you're like,

oh, would you get that? How do you afford these? We're saving. How do you afford these? Oh, I just thought you'd be working so hard, babe. I got you some flowers. But they feel guilty

because they're spending all the money. They have to spend some on you. Hannah would say I never buy her flowers and that's probably a bad thing. My wife would do this thing where I'll go,

oh, that's a cool dress, is that new? And she goes, no, I've had this for months. Technically true. Because she'll buy it, put it away in the wardrobe, I don't know how she does it, for three months, and then pulls it out and cuts the tag off. Another good one is saying that your mum bought it for you. Right.

That's another, I've never used that. What your mum bought it for you? So you're like, oh, I went shopping with mum, and then, oh, she said that she was like, oh, she liked the dress, so mum paid it for me. Oh,'ve never used that. What your mum bought it for you? So you're like, oh, I went shopping with mum, and then, oh, she said that she was like, oh, she liked the jersey, so mum paid it for me. Oh, have you used that? I have in the past. I haven't, I haven't.

It's so funny, because mum literally did buy me a pair of jeans on the weekend, and now it's going to sound like I'm lying. Guy, you can check our accounts. I didn't buy them. Okay, well, if one in three, almost, of people in relationships are keeping secret purchases from their partner,

we'd love to know what the last thing you bought that your partner has no idea about. Yeah, voice disguise are always available for you. Sure. It doesn't matter what you bought or how much you spent. Yeah. And what did you tell them? Like, how did you pay for it?

Yeah, either they still have no idea you had it or you came up with an excuse that might work for the rest of us. My favourite one, and I wonder if we'll get it again, is somebody said they won a raffle. Do you remember they won it in a raffle? They won a new vacuum cleaner in a raffle or won it as a prize. You can't use that a lot, but you could use it for one big ticket item a year. One thing.

They'll be like, God, you're lucky. Money is widely acknowledged as the number one cause of arguments in relationship. Really? Yeah. So it's no wonder that 30%, so almost one in three people, are keeping financial secrets from their partner and how much they're spending on certain things. I think you'll find as well in a lot of marriages that break up,

you know, like it'll be not maybe because they're keeping secrets from money, but it'll be money related. You know, like it always can be a real stress on a relationship. You know, like someone, and I imagine there'd be a lot of people at the moment losing jobs and stuff, and it just looks extra stresses on the... You've got a spender and a saver in the family. It can be very hard. Paige has a secret account.

What's it for? Paige? Yes. What is it specifically for? Well, for I don't know how long. I have a secret credit card, which I have connected to Afterpay, which I pay for my Botox and my lip injections with. And he doesn't know.

Does he not know that you get them at all? So he doesn't even, he just looks at you and thinks that that's natural, your natural face? Yeah, yeah. Like, no idea. So, because a lot of people would say that's worse because you're going into secret debt, which is even worse, really. Well, I mean, I pay it off, like, you know, weekly, like,

I don't grip it in. Like, we have separate accounts. Yeah. Even though we've been together for, like, 11 years with two kids, own a house, but we've got separate accounts. I hope he's not listening. I'm sure he has a secret account, too. If you've both got separate accounts after 11 years,

he'll have his own little stash or something. Well, I mean... Surely. Actually, you know what I worry about, Paige? If he is listening and he hits you up and he's like, Oh, funny, I heard you on the edge. If he's real chill about it, he's probably got his own secret account. Yeah, if he doesn't mind, he's like, oh, funny, I heard you on the edge. If he's real chill about it, he's probably got his own secret account.

Yeah, if he doesn't mind, he's like, oh, this is my scapegoat. Yeah, his conscience almost cleared by hearing that you have the same. And he won't even be able to tell you a line because your face doesn't move, so it's all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks. Get him, Paige. We've got Hayley, first time caller.

Yeah. Woo-woo. Here we go. He's just finding the intro. For the first time in forever. Hello, stranger. For the first time. Good to have you, Hayley.

I love that you've found this topic, the reason you call through, secret bank accounts. Hey, naughty, naughty. Hayley, what's your secret bank account and your secret spending? I may or may not have told my partner that I won tickets to Metallica. I did not.

I actually basically had to take out a mortgage for five accommodation and tickets for two. Oh my God, but did he want to go too? Like, was it like something? He did. Yeah, okay. Oh, well, that's nice. That's a bit of a

secret. And he also doesn't have to deal with the stress of like, oh god, we shouldn't have done that, we shouldn't have done that. He just had a great time and thought, hell yeah! What radio station did you say you won them from the edge? I'm hoping, Hayley. No. I didn't even come up with an answer.

I just won them. It was just a prize. I didn't ask any questions. I do love, Hayley, that you would take out a mortgage to buy tickets to Metallica and yet you still listen to us in the mornings. That's so good. Eclectic music tastes.

Absolutely. Yeah, good on you. That's so cool. I like that, Hayley. I must say, I've seen Metallica once live. Oh, my God, an incredible concert. And one more? Let's go to Danielle. Danielle, tell me seen Metallica once live. Oh my God, an incredible concert. Worth it. And one more?

Let's go to Danielle. Danielle, tell me about your secret bank account. Hi guys. It's not so much secret, but I would say I am a shopaholic and my husband definitely knows when the clothes or the shoes are coming in. We've got three kids and I always use, oh, it's for kids.

I just bought it for the kids. Blame it on the kids. Really, it's not. It's not for the kids. Gosh, that's a big jumper. They'll grow into it. They'll grow into it. It's very good for future years.

Yeah. Yes. I thought I'd, sorry, quickly add as well. I heard the other day that you are a big Lord of the Rings fan and my great-uncle actually owns Hobbiton. So if you guys ever want to get there, I can try work that way for you. Wow.

Your granddad owns Hobbiton. Danielle. My goodness me. He must be so rich. I've gone all funny. I've gone all funny. I can't even believe I'm talking to somebody who's that close to Hobbiton. I've gone all sweaty. I've gone all funny. I can't even believe I'm talking to somebody who's that close to Hobbiton.

I've gone all sweaty. You know what? When you say... I'm sorry. So it's my granddad's brother. Yeah. So my great-uncle. Oh, my God.

But my great... What are they? Great cousins, I guess. So his nephews look after the place. Oh, the farm and stuff. Oh, jeez. It's starting to sound like you don't even really know the person who runs it. Yeah.

I can tell you the story about how Peter Jackson found Hobbiton. Yes, well, he was going over the helicopter and he spotted a spot. And he was like, that looks perfect, rolling hills. And he went to the farm. And he went and knocked on my great uncle's door. I'm not even kidding, my granddad's brother. And he said, oh, hi, I'm Peter. Sorry, it was his team. And he said, hi, I, I'm Peter, oh, sorry, it was his team,

and said, hi, I'm wanting to, oh, these hills are perfect, you know, for the new film, Lord of the Rings. My bummer, I couldn't believe it when I heard it. He said, oh, what's Lord of the Rings? What's that, you know, old guy? And I said, oh, my God, what did he just say? Excuse me?

Okay, I got a question, and you won't get into numbers because I know everyone's funny with money and stuff, but does your great uncle get royalties every year? He gets paid well. He doesn't just get one lump payment. Someone's making money out of that, and he must do all right. Yes, he does.

So, obviously, Peter Jackson, I believe, I don't fully know the ins and outs because, obviously, they live down the line around that, but I believe he still gets obviously some cut, but then they are doing the cause. They're in charge of Hobbiton. Yeah, they run it all because it's his land. That is a cool story.

Very happy to know you now. Could you pull some strings and maybe we could do a show, we stay at Hobbiton for one night and do a show there. Do our concert there? Okay, we'll take the brainstorm off here, eh? I feel like

drinking a little bit of Hobbiton Kool-Aid at the moment. I don't even know if Danielle even knows her. Do you know your great uncle? We can headline the Green Dragon.

Play Teenage Dirtbag by Weedus. I don't think Peter Jackson would allow that. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through.
