Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. If this podcast was a person, it would be banned from family gatherings. Oh, piss off, Uncle John. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Hello everyone, welcome along to the show recap podcast. We don't normally intro these, but you will notice a few special sweepers going out to a very special listener. Yeah, well it all started with Michaela McCochran. Cochran?
Starting point is 00:00:24 No, no, McCoch, McCoch, McCock, McCockachini. Pardon? Michaela. Yeah, I'm going to open that up. Mick Con, Conachie. Michaela McConnachie. McConnachie. Well, that's not cockering at all.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Okay, well, I never said cockering. Michaela McConnachie. Michaela McConnachie. She said that what happened to the little robot rover. I remember it used to be in the podcast every now and then when we'd change topics, it'd go, rover. Remember that? Rover.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Like Chewy. Yeah, well, it wasn't like that. It wasn't exactly like that. It's like a Star Wars themed podcast. And apparently that's no more. The rover robot's gone. But then Bex, who this podcast is going out to, Bex Pedersen said, wow, that's observant.
Starting point is 00:01:03 I personally think we should have more stinky butt scattered through the podcasts. I personally disagree. And then producer Nibia replied, I can make that happen. And she said, I will send you homemade Easter brownie if you put at least 25 stinky butts throughout. So that's what's happening today. So that was my crutch. We talked about it a while ago at Nauseam. It still is your crutch work.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Is it? I feel like I haven't been saying it. You did it three times this morning. Did I? Yeah. I don't even notice it now. You just care less about it now. You got real funny for a while.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah, because I got self-conscious about it, and every time I'd say it, I'd almost get annoyed. Now you've kind of leaned in. Yeah, but I'm not leaning in. That's the problem. Oh, I thought you were leaning in, because you just do it still. So have you got the stings there, Patricia Carl?
Starting point is 00:01:45 He can play them off his computer. Yeah, do you want to hear it? No. Did you hear it? No. Oh, I pushed the wrong one. How about this one? Meg, a question for you. That's the actual bit of the part. Here we go. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky butt. That's how we get every song. Do we need a few more
Starting point is 00:02:03 stinky butt variations? That's all I do That's the only way I do it No you do them Slightly differently How would you say I do them differently? You sometimes go
Starting point is 00:02:10 Stinky butt And then you go Stinky stinky stinky Stinky butt Like you Hold it It rots you up Even you saying it
Starting point is 00:02:18 Satisfies me Like if I just go If I really just want to relax I'll just go Stinky stinky stinky Stinky little butt There's another one for you And it's like you get stuck
Starting point is 00:02:27 And I know this Because I have like OCD tendencies And it's like I'll do the thing That's meant to satisfy the urge And then I'll realise That when I do it I need to do it one more time
Starting point is 00:02:37 And then I'll go Oh no, one more time And then I'll go Oh no, hold on Now it's an even number So I'll just do it one more time And then you get stuck In this like pattern
Starting point is 00:02:44 And then Stinky cycle Before you know it Dan You'll have to say stinky 21 times Before you can say Now it's an even number, so I'll just do it one more time. And then you get stuck in this pattern. This stinky cycle. Before you know it, Dan, you'll have to say stinky 21 times before you can say bleh. Yeah. And it'll feel as good as it did last time you did it. That's the day I think I need to probably leave radio. I'm having to go stinky, stinky 20 times. I'm saying that though, Dan.
Starting point is 00:02:58 You doing this is potentially getting us brownie. So there's no loss for me. I've been sent brownie before on the radio and it was laced with marijuana. Oh, I don't think there's no loss for me. I've been sent brownie before on the radio and it was laced with marijuana. Oh, I don't think that makes it do that.
Starting point is 00:03:10 You ate so much brownie from Melissa that you didn't know it was laced with marijuana. But we got sent it and we did it on air. We were like, is it brown?
Starting point is 00:03:15 Is it got that in it? And I ate like half of it. And, well, big no-no. Sarah Gandy was covering at the time. Yeah, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:03:23 It was with Sharon and she told me to get out of the studio and get off here. She was like, she's never spoken to me like seriously before and she was like, Dan, you need to stop broadcasting
Starting point is 00:03:31 and go and lay down and then I threw up. Whoa. Bex wouldn't do that to a pregnant lass. No, Bex wouldn't. Yeah. We'll get producer Neeps to try it first and if he's all still good after an hour,
Starting point is 00:03:42 then we'll eat it. Yeah. I know Bex. Bex would never do that to me. I'll take one for the team, guys. It's all good. Don't worry about it. I think he's eating still good after an hour, then we'll eat it. I know Bex. Bex would never do that to me. I'll take one for the team, guys. It's all good. Don't worry about it. I think he's eating brownie now.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. All right. Well, this one's going out to you, Bex, and everyone else that actually loves the show and missed it earlier this morning. Appreciate you guys. And if you hate me saying stinky, maybe this isn't the podcast for you. And we're about to go record The Only Fan,
Starting point is 00:04:01 so if you actually don't know that podcast exists, I'm sure you do. Surely. Sort of more the Wild West. Kind of more similar to what you The Only Fan, so if you actually don't know that podcast exists, I'm sure you do. Surely. Sort of more the Wild West. Kind of more similar to what you're hearing now, I suppose, and we're going to go record that one. Have a bloody great Tuesday if you're listening in real time. Enjoy the short week. Good morning, everyone.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Donners. Yes. Gizmon. Yes. Funga Day. Nelson. Yes. Christchurch.
Starting point is 00:04:21 You there? Or should I say wider glory avail? Oh, shut up mate it's Clint Magandad Kota good morning it is bang on 6 o'clock Tuesday 15th of April short week
Starting point is 00:04:38 yeah fancy seeing you here back to back guys I don't know if you've noticed but I'm wearing I'm wearing a poppy. Oh, yeah, I put one on.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Yeah. Yeah, I said to him, well, that's not until next week. And he goes, yeah, but I want people to see it on the cameras. Oh, not in that way. Bullshit. That's the most, Dan, I would absolutely believe you over that. They go, Megan, you'll die if you don't get right with who's lying. You're telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:05:00 No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got a gun to your head. And then, interesting, Meg, we were on about 18 seconds. Dan, I'm wearing a poppy. He points it out. No, I want to spread awareness. I think a lot of people know about wearing poppies.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Lest we forget. Lest we forget. And I tell you what, a lot of people do forget about the poppies every year. And it definitely helps when it's being seen on camera and posted on social media. And I paid $20 for this one. Bullshit. I did.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And you just got one? Yeah, the man, the lovely old man that was selling them. Ted was waiting for his change. He gave him a 20. I've only got a 20
Starting point is 00:05:37 and he goes, oh, that's lovely. Thank you, son. Pissed me off in a way. Use your gold coin donation. Yeah, not many give us a crisp green 20. Thank you, young lad. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I just did $5. You just need to remember the people, the sacrifice that people made at the Win the Wars, and that's why I donated 20. So when they're out in the wars, they're like, don't worry, guys, however many years from now, Dan might drop a 20 in the plate. Come on.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I'm just one flash in the pan. If everybody donated 20, it'd be a good deal. You're worry, guys. However many years from now, Dan might drop a 20 in the play. Come on. I'm just one flash in the pan. If everybody donated 20, it'd be a good rule. You're right, Dan. It's easy to shame the guy who dropped 20. But if you're right, if everyone in New Zealand dropped 20 bucks, they wouldn't be standing out in the corners, I don't think, as long. Exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Yeah. All right. So the cost of poppies have gone up. Everything's gone up in 2025. Inflation. Yeah. Going to be a fun show. Mitch James.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Oh, I don't think he's on actually today at all. No. But we do have a big concert announcement. What does that mean? What was that? What was that? What do you mean? But we do have a big concert announcement
Starting point is 00:06:38 that we're not allowed to talk about. So we'll be doing that at 8 o'clock as well, which are completely unrelated things. The poppies are available on the streets now. If you see a poppy out there, all you need to do is put some money, because it's just awareness, put some money in the box,
Starting point is 00:06:54 and then you get a poppy and you wear it for awareness. Just remember they don't have chains. Clint, Meg and Dan, stinky boo. I think Meg's brain works the best under pressure. Unfortunately, it does, Clint, because that's how I managed to scrape through school. God, that's so weird you bring that up. I was just sending a voice note to my friend this morning saying,
Starting point is 00:07:16 I've got to learn how to do things that aren't waiting for a deadline that gives me that pressure build that I did in high school because I'm an adult now, and it would be much easier to not have that pressure and just do things when I have the time. I reckon that's an ADHD thing. I'm the same. Really?
Starting point is 00:07:31 I always leave things to the last minute but a lot of people work better under pressure. Yeah, but I don't want to do that anymore. I would like to just do it. Literally, we were like talking about, oh, we need a 6am throwback song. And I'm going through April 15th, this day of music, and going through. And then it was like 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. Then my brain goes, MKTO, they're good. They've got nothing to do with today. It was like 4, 3, 2, and me goes, what about Katy Perry?
Starting point is 00:08:03 She went to space. Let's play E.T. One. That's Clint's rocket impression. It was synergy because Katy Perry went into space. And I was like, bloody hell. It is a topical throwback. But the problem is, what song do you play?
Starting point is 00:08:16 E.T. E.T. That's what we just said. It says ADHD. The problem is, when will Dan not be listening to what we're saying? I only listen to things that I really care about. Neety. I don't like that song.
Starting point is 00:08:27 It's interesting, but I'm not interested. That's you. Well, what song says space as a Katy Perry song that's better than Neety? Katy Perry did go to space in an all-woman crew. I see what you mean. Extraterrestrial is up there. I would say that's probably out of my thoughts. I mean, fireworks go up into the air. They do. And I would say that's probably out of folks' thoughts. I mean, fireworks go up into the air.
Starting point is 00:08:46 They do, and I would say that's a bigger song. She did Scream coming back down. You could do Raw. Did she kiss any of the girls in the all-woman crew? I don't think she did kiss a girl up there. Damn, that would make the news of it, though. Real missed opportunity. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Stinky Boo. Katy Perry and E.T. We'll chat more about this after eight, but she was part of an all-woman crew that launched into space. Wow. Well, earlier this morning. I think it was probably around 5 a.m. our time or something. They just touched down.
Starting point is 00:09:15 11-minute flight there and back. Isn't that incredible? What a cost. Yeah, a lot of money. Jeff Brazos' wife was on that trip, so you know it, ain't she? Katy Perry used it to unveil that she's doing a Lifetime's Tour set list. That's a good way to... The set list, she really revealed it in space.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Yeah, great way to do it. Big announcement, eh? Oh, yeah, like if you're going to do a baby, like if you're going to do a gender reveal. Yeah, you're doing... When it takes a... Or blue or pink. It's amazing how much they seem to think people care
Starting point is 00:09:44 and they just don't. Everyone's like, okay, we want healthcare. Yes. Right, okay. Thank you. We want healthcare. Yeah, speaking of healthcare actually, funny little thing here.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I went to the dentist yesterday. Started going to a new dentist. Oh, you're going to the same one as me, the one me and Ed Sheeran go to? No, different one. Don't go to the celebrity dentist clinic. Okay. I'm not prolific enough.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Yeah, I can't get in. They want real celebrities. And yeah, so I went the other day and I got a filling and then she was like, you need to go to the hygienist. Oh, yuck. You need to. And I hate the hygienist. Oh, the scum of the earth.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Oh, that's great. Don't they just go and like polish your teeth and do a big clean? Yeah, but they go. Get rid of your halitosis. But they go deep into your gums and ooh, yuck. Anyway, so I was there yesterday and the lady that was doing it, very chatty for someone that's...
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah. It's when they ask questions. Yes. And I'm like, just let me sit there. Like, I can't talk. So she was asking me quite in-depth questions about, like, I said I work in radio, and she was very interested. And so I've got my mouth open.
Starting point is 00:10:43 She's deep inside my mouth with all her instruments. And she goes like, so what is a day? What's your usual day? Oh, you should go to the celebrity dentist. They don't talk to you that much. They let celebrities just be. But she understood every word you write me. Because I was like, all right, early.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And I know it's a night or a day. And she understood everything. What time is your alarm go off? Oh, at four. Oh, yeah, early. And I know she's done right with that. Oh, wow. And she understood everything. What time is your alarm go off? Oh, at four. Oh, yeah, four. So what are you doing in the afternoons? What time do you finish? Oh, I'm just going to...
Starting point is 00:11:15 Pick up your son. Yeah, go ahead. Pick up your son. And then I go home and hump Hannah. And then you go hump Hannah. No, not hump Hannah. Oh, God. Oh, God. I didn't see that. I didn't see that. She's like, wait, you go home and hump Hannah. And then you go hump Hannah. No, no, not hump Hannah. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:11:27 I didn't see that. I didn't see that. She said, wait, you go home and hump Hannah. Brilliant. Do you? Oh, you don't need to make the sound, sir. You should have gone to the celebrity dentist. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Spinky Boots. Scandal with Meg. Okay, so the all-female crew went up to space today. One of the people was Lauren Sanchez. Jeff Bezos is a very rich wife. Katy Perry was another one. Gayle King, I think, is her last name. What about Jeff Bezos' wife?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Sorry, what would you say her first name was? Lauren. Lauren. She's given a lot of money, right, to charity. Like, stupid amount. No, no, no. His ex has. I don't think his new wife has.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Isn't it Jeff's ex that's given a lot of money? Because I'm like, then can you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars going to space without everyone getting angry about the money that you're wasting? I think people will always be angry because you're spending it on what a lot of people, I guess, consider quite a pointless exercise.
Starting point is 00:12:18 You know, it's not like they're going up to do research. Mackenzie Scott, his ex-wife, has donated hundreds of millions of dollars. But maybe Lauren has too, but I just know, I think who you're thinking about is Declan's ex because she's known for her philanthropy
Starting point is 00:12:29 thank you oh come on she might add it on the third go yeah no you know let's see Lauren's saying she has wife charity
Starting point is 00:12:37 she's deeply involved in it but there's no number whereas Mackenzie Scott his ex has got like these are the donations she's made but I'm sure she still has she's got receipts she's kept them all she's kept her receipts She's deeply involved in it, but there's no number. Whereas Mackenzie Scott, his ex, has got like, these are the donations she's made.
Starting point is 00:12:47 But I'm sure she still has. She's got receipts. She kept them all. She's kept her receipts. Yes, so they went up. I wanted to play a couple of bits of audio. One of them was Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey's best friend, talking about Katy Perry singing in space.
Starting point is 00:13:02 The best part was when we got back in our seats after Zero G's, Katy sang What a Wonderful World. She did? Oh, come's. Katie sang What a Wonderful World. She did? Oh, come on. She sang What a Wonderful World. I see dreams. She took a saucer. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Because we've been asking her to sing all the time, and she wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And she wouldn't. And then, because everybody said, sing Roar, sing Fireworks. And she said, it's not about me. I wanted to talk about the world. Of all of the songs. I was wondering, I was like, did anyone ask? But it sounds like they were pestering her. There's nothing worse than being on a road trip
Starting point is 00:13:29 and there's one person singing. Luckily, she didn't sing for real. This is the audio that I saw this morning, and I thought it was fake. I thought it was one of those things that somebody put audio against a video, and I kept trying to find out because I didn't want to play it unless it was real, but it is real.
Starting point is 00:13:45 This is when they were coming back down and this is the audio of the women screaming as they had a free fall. We're waiting to see the drogue parachutes deploy from the crew capsule. Those are like the guy parachutes. There go the drogue parachutes. Just free falling right
Starting point is 00:14:02 there until those drogues came out. And then next will be the main parachutes that get pulled out. See that screaming inside the capsule? Like, as a woman, I'm just a little bit like, girls, this is why men would be sexist and be like, we don't want ladies up in space. They'll be screaming the whole time. Because they'll be screaming.
Starting point is 00:14:26 And it's all I think about. And I know it would have been scary, but I do sit there going, oh, God. The only time I've ever heard screaming came from the all-female crew. That's so sad. You don't know, though. They don't live stream all the things. Maybe the men scream. I'd scream.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Honestly, if I was free-falling, I'd be screaming. I tell you what, here's the thing, and this might be a controversial opinion, but Katy Perry going to space, I get it if you're an astronaut, you're going up for research, and there's a meaning behind it. But when you're a pop star,
Starting point is 00:14:59 you've got a young child. How old's Daisy, your daughter? Daisy's about a year older than my Daisy, so maybe four. I can imagine there's a bit of risk going into space for a bit of weightlessness feeling for 11 minutes. Personally, as a father, I would not risk my life to go up for a bit of publicity for 11 minutes.
Starting point is 00:15:18 I think it's a very selfish thing to do. Yeah, because she came out and she had a daisy flower the whole time and she came out of the pod and kissed the ground and kissed the flower. And I get it if you're doing it because it's your career and your job and you've worked your whole life and that risk comes with whatever you've chosen to do. But when you are doing it, like, remember that submarine
Starting point is 00:15:37 that unfortunately imploded? You know, that's the same sort of thing where, like, he took his child and those were all parents in there and it's just for a bit of like some sort of let me do something that nobody else can do
Starting point is 00:15:48 it's very it is it's like I went to space but you didn't get to do it that's all it seems to be for me like I'd get it if they were going up
Starting point is 00:15:54 to do something and they did something and they came back and they're like the only way we were able to get this space gem was from all the women
Starting point is 00:16:01 because they had to collectively put their yonis together or something and this space gem can cure cancer now. We're like, thank you, Katie Perry. Yes, thank you for your sacrifice.
Starting point is 00:16:08 But I don't know why they did it. I'd love to know what the chances are if they give them a percentage going, oh, there's about a 4% chance that you die or a 14% chance you die, you know, because you're right, luck can go wrong. That's an arbitrary number, isn't it? Like, you never know, really.
Starting point is 00:16:20 But if they would know, they'd know the risks involved, but I don't think they'd probably tell them. I just wouldn't do it. Even if they said there's one percent chance of you dying, how many people go to space that often? There's always a chance of something going wrong. It is a one percent chance of, I think,
Starting point is 00:16:34 one percent chance of US flights resulting in death. Well, that's normal flights. No, no, it's said to do with space flights. But is it not the same as going and driving? You have a one percent chance of dying when you drive. I'm not attached to, like, gallons and gallons of fuel blasting off into the stratosphere. But, hey, I mean, maybe it is just as risky.
Starting point is 00:16:55 All right, well, watch this space. I'm sure the numbers will eventually come out as to what it costs. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky Boo. Alright, this morning we're getting to know a first time caller, Stacey. Time for another intro. Hello stranger. Hello Stacey. Stacey, how long have you been listening to the show babe?
Starting point is 00:17:29 Oh shit Since JJ, Mike and the Dolls Oh she's an OG It's the first time you've called us You must be a busy busy woman I've tried a couple of times lately Oh bless you Oh good on you Stacey, really appreciate you listening Yeah, appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:17:46 You've got some stats, Meg. I love you guys. You guys are awesome. You guys make me smile every morning. Oh, that's so nice, Stacey. I'm still just unsure that why this morning? Why this morning?
Starting point is 00:17:56 I've started walking the dog in the morning and I've tried a couple of other mornings and I just thought, why not? Yeah, yeah. Good.
Starting point is 00:18:03 And like I said before, it's a week to get through this week because less people are calling because it's school holidays. Well, Stacey works as a business analyst. She's got a black man, so she's married with two kids. She's a Libra star sign.
Starting point is 00:18:13 And do you know how to play this game, Stacey? I ask a question. I do. Okay, good. Okay, the question is, what type of dog does Stacey have? Ooh, now this is a tricky one. Because it can say a lot about the owner, can't it?
Starting point is 00:18:24 It can say a lot about the owner. can't it? It can say a lot about the owner. I think the fact that she's walking it, it's a dog that needs a walk. She's doing it in the morning because you know
Starting point is 00:18:31 every dog needs walks. No, some little lap dogs. You could put them in the backyard for a bit of a run around, you know. So I reckon Stacey's rocking a,
Starting point is 00:18:39 I'm going to go she's rocking a Labrador. Okay. I reckon she's, yeah. Stinky Lab. Oh, not if they're washed. I'm going to go she's rocking a Labrador okay I reckon she's a stinky lab a stinky little lab not if they're washed I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:18:49 Stacey Black Mazda she's got a a staffy cross like a bits of dog a staffy sort of like you say it's a staffy cross but you don't even know what it is
Starting point is 00:18:59 but they a tan colour dog I'm going to go something a little bit more skinny and more athletic if it's being walked in the dark I'm going to go with something a little bit more skinny and more athletic if it's being walked in the dark.
Starting point is 00:19:06 I'm going to go a Hungarian Vistula. Oh my God, he's gone very specific. Yeah, like you know those orange dogs you see
Starting point is 00:19:12 and they don't have very long fur. Yeah, lovely velvety soft long ears. Clint does have a thing for ears though. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:19:18 I think I would get a Hungarian Vistula if I got another dog. Would you? He'd sit there just playing with his ears. They need a lot of attention Vistulas.
Starting point is 00:19:24 My friends who live in Queensland have one. Yeah, he runs all around the mountains, through the lakes. All right, Stacey, what is your dog breed? Honestly, you're all so far away, you always need another guess. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Okay, we'll go soon. Okay, we've never done this before. Spring a spaniel. Damn it, I was going to go poodle of some sort. Okay, so Dan thought to... Spring a spaniel. Damn it, I was going to go a poodle of some sort. Okay, so Dan thought to... Yeah, we're going to spring a spaniel. Shit. Oh, a mountain dog, like a St. Bernard.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Okay, and I'm going to go a cavoodle, like a poodle cross. Okay. Do we have to go again? Is anyone closer? Spaniel's probably the closest. He's a German wirehead pointer. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Basically a Spaniel. Yes. Come on. God, I've never met anyone with that. A German, I'm looking it up. A German wirehead what? Pointer. Pointer.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Also known as a Spaniel. I've always called them Spaniels. Do you know what? That does look like a Springer Spaniel. Dan, you win that point for sure. Oh, it looks like a Springer Spaniel. Yeah. I love Springer Spaniels. Do you know what? That does look like a Springer Spaniel. Dan, you win that point for sure. Oh, it looks like a Springer Spaniel. Yeah. I love Springer Spaniels.
Starting point is 00:20:28 My auntie used to have one called Jessie, and she was the loveliest dog. Your dog, Stacey, looks like the type of dog that if it saw a duck on its walk, it'd be gone. Yeah, we rescued him because the farmer that had him wanted him as a duck dog, but he was scared of guns. Oh, he's scared of guns. Oh, he's scared of guns. Now he just brings me toy ducks.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Oh, cute. Aren't they just lovely? And he's got a sister that I don't walk, so not all dogs need walking. Oh, okay. Had I been walking her, you might have been closest. She's a rot-weather. Oh, yes, have been closer. She's a rot-weeler. Oh, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Yeah, a lovely little rotty. I love rotties. They're so sweet. I want to come and hang out with you, Stacey, and go and walk your dogs. They sound like epic dogs. It's so funny because if you looked at Stacey's two dogs and you saw the, we're going to call it a springer spaniel,
Starting point is 00:21:19 but the German thing, and then you saw a rot-wheeler, you'd be like, that dog needs a walk. But that's the one that's like lazy and just like lying at home in bed right now. Hey, we're going to get a voucher out to you, Stace, to go spend in store
Starting point is 00:21:30 at your nearest Zed, alright? Awesome, thank you. Thank you for calling, we appreciate you. And don't make that the last time, no. Craving both a cheeseburger
Starting point is 00:21:38 and a pie? Easy as. Thanks to Zed's new cheeseburger pie. Kill two birds, one stone. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Stinky Boo. You can definitely say this one's gone viral. 100 million views of a couple of lads talking about the most common name for a gay man. I don't know if it makes its way all the way to New Zealand or if this is more just an American thing that these guys have come across, but take a listen. What do you think is the most common name for a gay man?
Starting point is 00:22:04 And there's one answer. Okay, this is a listen. What do you think is the most common name for a gay man? And there's one answer. Okay, this is a hint. You're one of your probably other than me gay best friend is named this. Oh, and his husband. And his husband. They're both named Matt. Thank you. Oh, so many gay Matt's.
Starting point is 00:22:20 If you know a Matt in your life, they are gay. Now, I know. I've just been counting in my head. I know five mats quite well. None of them are gay. So it kind of debunks the maybe it's not a New Zealand thing. And I'm not saying that maybe they're wrong because I don't think they are maybe. But I don't know a gay man.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I think statistically it's just a common name. And for men to be out maybe is like it was a very common name in the 90s and in the late 80s. And it was. Yeah, the 80s and the 90s was extremely common and that is the stage that maybe most men are coming out between mid-20s to 35.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I've just Googled most common gay names in New Zealand for men, and it's come up with three names, John, William, and James, all of which are probably the most common names just generally. Yeah, that's true. So, of course, it's just a game of numbers. And if you are, I looked up most, came up with the list of the 100 most lesbian-ish first names
Starting point is 00:23:22 ranked by lesbianism. Ellie is number one at the top. Ellie? Yeah, most lesbian-ish first names ranked by lesbianism. Ellie is number one at the top. Ellie? Yeah, most lesbian name. And Matt, the most gayest name for men. Ellie McBeal, she wasn't. Yeah, she wasn't. She's married to Callista Flockhart, the actress.
Starting point is 00:23:37 She's married to Harrison Ford. Oh, right. Yeah, wow. Wow, Meg's crush. Yeah, wow. Have you seen him lately, though? He's started to be very old. Yes, the better.
Starting point is 00:23:48 He's just getting better and better. The older, the wrinklier and the greyer he gets, the hotter he is to Meg. Yeah. Okay, if anyone's in the gay community and you've noticed, yes, a lot of Mets, or you're like, nah, nah, nah, it ain't Matt. I know what it is, but it ain't Matt.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Let us know. But I think maybe you're right, Meg. Maybe it's just the most common name. I think it's the common name for the right age. Typically it would have the most straight men and the most gay men that have that. You're right, though. We probably need someone from that community because they're the ones that are probably qualified to talk about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You know? Because you're on the ground there. You're ground zero. Oh. You said that while you were looking at Clint. Deep in my eyes. He's wearing dungarees. You know?
Starting point is 00:24:27 I know, I just feel like a dungaree, don't I? They suit you. I couldn't pull them off. I've got dungarees. Should we wear them the same day? Yeah, okay. I've got three pairs of dungarees. I'll bring a pair in for you.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Do you want my tan-coloured pair or my pink pair? Pink. Pink one. All right. People texting in of what they think the most common name for a gay man is after a couple of lads have gone viral with 100 million views saying it's Matt. It seems like it may in New Zealand may not be. We're pivoting and thinking the most common name coming through is Will.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Will, yeah. Multiple people texting saying that Will, in their experience, is the most common gay man name. Yeah, Producer Neeps, you said you've got a few gay mates. Any Wills? Yeah, I actually know three gay Wills. Do we? Yeah, another common one.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I know one. Yeah, what's your one? No, one Will. Oh, one Will. Oh, yeah, fantastic. Yeah, I met two gay Wills down in Dunedin, and I've got another gay friend called Will up here in Auckland. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:18 I guess a Will coming through a lot more. And I think William again, though, like I'm guessing it's short for William, unless they were called Will at birth, but I'd say again, quite a common name for people sort of in their 20s. You know, like mid 90s, late 90s, that I think William was quite a common name. And you're right, like there was a time
Starting point is 00:25:38 I think where more people were able to come out because it became more socially acceptable to be able to just come out and everyone be super supportive of that. Whereas the older generation, unfortunately, didn't have that luxury, I don't think, as much. You know when you're hearing people
Starting point is 00:25:51 who are coming out in their 60s? Yeah. And you're like, man, how rough that you wanted to come out all your life and now you can because of people being able to do it so freely now without any, well, not without any. No. Maybe it's just circles we roll, well, not without any. No.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Maybe it's just circles we roll in, like, you know. No judgment in our circles. Yeah, and so you assume that the rest of the country is like that, but I imagine it's not. I just Googled the most common boys' names in 2001, kind of a ballpark of rounds. So, Matts and Williams? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Matthew, number three. William, number four. Yeah, yeah. So, they were both in the top five of most common boys' names. Yeah, I think that's what's happening here. And then another name that's come through for common gay names is Michael. That was number two that year. I know, Michael.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Yeah. So I think, look, I think we've debunked it completely. I reckon they were just doing a video for clickbait. I think we're falling into the trap, boys. I think they probably were. They took this in. They were still probably speaking their truth in their world. It probably is true that a lot of their mates who are gay are mad.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Yeah. But, yeah, I guess it just, I don't know, it tickled the internet and ended up becoming the most viral thing that happened this week. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky boot. This is an idea that you may have missed us spitballing yesterday on the show. Meg's mum said, right, you've got to take your base. I'm sick of looking at it.
Starting point is 00:27:06 It's been here for 20 years and she flew up over the weekend and she dropped it off at your house and you have no idea how to play it no no no I learnt something and we think we've managed to maybe figure out
Starting point is 00:27:15 that it was Seven Nation Army and that's all I got and I took a lot of photos with it and since it's been sitting in dust were you one of those people that would carry around on your back? Yes. Looked like you could play it.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I'd do anything and I didn't know how to play it. I was so proud of it. So I've read somewhere that, I don't know about girls, but I read that a guy or maybe just a person is 30% more attractive
Starting point is 00:27:39 if they're seen carrying around just a guitar case. Doesn't even have to have a guitar in it. Just the fact that it looks like you play and you're carrying a guitar makes you 30% more attractive. Depends where you are, though, isn't it? It's like undies, undies, togs. Like if you're in a random place with a guitar on your back.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Like a library, eh? Library or something, a bit odd. Yeah, producer Neeps is an actual musician. He had a gig on Friday at the Tuning Fork in Auckland. And that has also inspired us to want to be as cool and have that moment on stage where everyone's screaming and cheering. Yeah, I think I missed the 30% more attractive thing because I haven't seen a bar of that in my 10 years of playing for a band. Oh shit, well don't give it up then.
Starting point is 00:28:14 I'm going to keep trying. You're currently around 10% more attractive. So let me just check, you know how to play more than one song? Yes, I can play more than one song. Okay, so you're already better than Meg, right? So how many songs do you think you have in your repertoire in terms of being a musician? Are you one of these people that could pick up a bass guitar
Starting point is 00:28:33 and just do it for me, like you could just play anything? Yeah, guitar, bass, guitar. If I've got two or three minutes to work out a song, I could play it to a high level if I've got the lyrics in front of me. Chords and singing along, I can play most songs. It's like a different language, eh, learning music? Yeah, it really is because, like, if you're reading music, you are learning a whole other language.
Starting point is 00:28:52 It is. I thought that. What's funny about that? No, I think it is. If you can read music, it is like knowing a different language. I agree. It's a funny language to speak, though, because you're just making sounds, really.
Starting point is 00:29:01 We need instruments and working out what we would play if we are to really do this band thing. Which I think we're getting really excited about and not realizing how much work is involved. I think, I mean an average band has a guitar, drums, bass guitar, keys. You quite often don't need keys do you? You don't need keys and quite often
Starting point is 00:29:21 you'll have a second guitar as well. You'll have a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar. So if you're on bass, I mean Meg I don't think you, and quite often you'll have a second guitar as well. You have a lead guitar and a rhythm guitar. So if you're on bass, I mean, Meg, I don't think you're really attached to the bass anyway, are you? I think, well, the thing is, the bass is cool, but I've since come to realisation that if I can be a girl that drums, it'd be pretty cool, but I'll do whatever. Every instrument's hot on a girl.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Guitar, hot. That's so true. True. I mean, anything. I've seen your wife play guitar, Clint, and she definitely gets hotter playing guitar. I'd like to see you try and make girl. Guitar hot. That's so true. True. I mean, anything. I've seen your wife play guitar, Clint, and she definitely gets hot at playing guitar.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I'd like to see you try and make a bagpipe hot. Yeah. Yeah, that's a tough one. I think there is some instruments that are really hard to make a bagpipe hot. Okay, Producer Needs,
Starting point is 00:29:55 what have you got? As a musician, where do you think we would best sit? And obviously, we'll see if we agree or disagree. How I would place the band. As Meg,
Starting point is 00:30:04 Lola is your baby. I'd keep you on Lola. You want me on bass? I How I would place the band. As Meg, Lola is your baby. I'd keep you on Lola. You want me on bass? I'd keep you on the bass. The bass is the rhythm of the band. It locks in with the drummer and together they make the rhythm section. Okay.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Now here I've got Clint guitar and Dan guitar. Right. Rhythm and lead. Oh wait, who would be lead though? That's the question. I think that comes down To ability I like that
Starting point is 00:30:27 Because then there's A competition to show Who's worthy of lead Well hold on Wait wait wait What's easier Rhythm guitar's easier You're playing chord
Starting point is 00:30:34 Oh I'll take rhythm Oh you can take lead If you want Oh cool man I'm more than happy To take the easier option. Rhythm doesn't get to do solos, though, do they, Jeremy?
Starting point is 00:30:46 No, Rhythm don't do solos, but solos are quite hard and you don't want a Nick Jonas situation on your head. Yeah, but then, Clint, you're not thinking about, like, you have to nail a solo to look good.
Starting point is 00:30:56 You don't want a half-assed solo. But in saying that... Oh, yeah, but I'm the guy that's like, hey, there's four seconds left, give me the ball, I'll take the shot. I'm either going to be the hero
Starting point is 00:31:02 or I'm going to lose the game for everyone. We need Nipia on bass, though, in all honesty. Yeah, where are the ball. I'll take the shot. I'm either going to be the hero or I'm going to lose the game for everyone. We need Nipia on bass though, in all honesty. Where are the drums then? See, I think I would sit on drums. I've got a bit of experience there, but the drums is what holds your tempo and what holds
Starting point is 00:31:16 the sections of the song together. So I feel like if I can sit on the drums, then I can maybe control the beat. I see what's happening here. He's sick of being just the ugly bass guy. Yeah, exactly. I just want to play a cool instrument. Meg, you get final call right now. Yeah, call it. Is it you or Neeps on drums?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Oh, God, it's clearly me on drums. Oh, okay. I'm back on the bass. I'm back on the bass. Slapping the bass. Yeah. Slapping the bass, man. You know what this has been?
Starting point is 00:31:39 This has been a classic trumping from the person that's higher up the ranks than you, Neeps. She's completely just... I'm going to regret it, though, because drums are harder than bass. Nah, nah, we're the rhythm section, Meg. We'll lock that in. And then Digi Producer, Balor on keys,
Starting point is 00:31:51 and then Carl I've got on sound, lighting, and sourcing the writer. What you've just said there is a live demotion. What do you mean, sourcing the writer? Well, someone's got to get it. I only eat the red M&Ms. Separate the yellow Skittles from the purple ones. I hate this idea.
Starting point is 00:32:08 And always Jager Bombs, please. I want Jager Bombs. And lighting. I like to be fed grapes by hand, please. Okay, all right. Oh, Meg, I hope you and we as a band don't live to regret that decision made on the spot. Actually, I know I'm really nervous.
Starting point is 00:32:22 That made a really bad call. Because all of our timing depends on her. Yes. Actually, I know I'm really nervous that it made a really bad call. Because if we're all, so all of our timing depends on her. Yes. Oh my God. Let's see how I can do and otherwise I have to mope myself. She can't even turn up to work on time, Clint. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Stinky boo. Meg, a question for you. Do you think you're the favourite in your family in terms of you and your brother, Chris? No, my brother lives much closer to both my mum and my dad and he's able to be there and he sees them a lot more than I do. My brother is a really good son. I know that sometimes I'll call mum,
Starting point is 00:32:57 she'll say, oh, I'm just with Chris, he asked if he wanted to get a coffee or he'll be over for dinner. Sucker, bit of a sucker. I think that's a nice son thing to do. The same, same with my brother because he's a builder.
Starting point is 00:33:08 So he'll be up, like, during the week, say Monday to Friday, he's like, helping my old man, like laying turf and he's like pouring concrete
Starting point is 00:33:15 and stuff, but I'm like, yeah, but that's your job. Like, your, my job doesn't make me look good with mum and dad
Starting point is 00:33:21 whereas his job can. I also think my mum and my brother are quite similar, whereas I can get, like, they both, like, little things. Like, they both enjoy and don't mind talking through movies where I hate it. And so I'll, like, have to get up and leave the room
Starting point is 00:33:34 and they'll be like, oh, there she goes again. Clearly not the favourite they need. Oh, throwing her toys, Jesus. Yeah, yeah. I saw a thing on Reddit the other day and it was a person asking how they know if they're the favourite between them and their sibling and most of the comments were people saying
Starting point is 00:33:49 it's usually when you're an adult to do with your job so if you're doing the most successful job maybe you earn the most your parents look at you in more of a light where they're like there's my successful kid not in all cases but in a lot of cases that is I think luckily me and my brother are both,
Starting point is 00:34:05 I would say, successful, but in our own streams. He's a very successful politician. Okay, but let's say you all go out for a family dinner to celebrate something that, say, mum's achieved. You know, she's doing really well with her party bus. Yes, she is. And at the end of the dinner, who's more likely to pick up the bill, you or Chris?
Starting point is 00:34:21 Oh, good question. Good question, Clint. Yeah, my brother. So then they go, well, Chris is doing well enough that he paid for all of this. Yeah, and they'll probably go, me goes too, but she's just stingy. Stingy, yeah, type B.
Starting point is 00:34:36 No, no. That's a really hard question. That's a really hard question that we're both very different. And it feels yucky to always answer, right? I don't know. I'm really close with my brother, so it makes me feel like I'm away. Because you're right, it depends on your parents and what they perceive as success.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Yeah. Like, if it's financial success that they value, then whoever earns the most... Or fame success. Yeah, fame success, or even, like, family success. You know, like, if you've got three kids, and then your other brother or sister has no children,
Starting point is 00:35:00 maybe you're more successful because your parents now have grandkids. You would say you're the favourite though, right Dan? It's hard to know. Here's the thing, my brother lives in Australia, but my mum she's always talking about Simon because she doesn't get
Starting point is 00:35:18 to see him as often, so I think there's like that yearning thing there where she's like, she's kind of like, I'd love to see Simon tomorrow. And I think if she could pick between me or my brother, she'd pick Simon because she never sees him. He's the shiny thing. Yeah, he's like the shiny thing to her.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I don't know. I don't think my mum has a favourite, to be honest. What colour are you? Brown. Like a rusty orange. Yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, not good. So I just think, I wanted to know this morning,
Starting point is 00:35:43 you could give us a call, 0800 The Edge. We could maybe be the judges right because all three of us won't admit that we don't think our parents are favourites oh no we called
Starting point is 00:35:52 your parents Clint one time and they clearly said Bevan yes yeah I remember my dad we were doing
Starting point is 00:35:57 a telemarketing thing and we pretended to be doing a Father's Day survey and they started real soft and then the third or fourth question was
Starting point is 00:36:04 and how many children do you have and which one's your favourite? And Dad beat around the bush a little and then eventually when we said he had to choose one just for the survey and then he can go, he was like, oh, well, my youngest son, that's my brother, he goes, oh, we probably have more in common with our fishing and diving and stuff. It was a really... God, that's a real shot to kick in the guts, isn't it? Yeah. If you are unsure whether or not you are the favourite in your family, you've got a brother or sister, let us know what it is that they're doing,
Starting point is 00:36:33 what it is that you're doing, and we will work out once and for all. As a side note, I did a little question on my Instagram last night asking parents if they have a favourite. 80% of the comments were people like parents saying yes, but they never admit it. Yeah. I saw your story yesterday and yeah, I was thinking it's interesting.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I'm like, what, a few months out from having a second. I can't imagine loving them as much as I love my child now. Same. But I know that I must. I mean, I think if you and your sibling are like dead even in terms of like your career and how much money you make and maybe how many kids you've given, grandkids you've given your parents, then I would think
Starting point is 00:37:08 the oldest would just trump purely because they've had longer to love you. What if there's like six? I'd say the youngest is the favourite because they're like your last kind of grass. Maybe, maybe it's like oldest or youngest have a better opportunity to be the favourite based on the fact that they're in the middle.
Starting point is 00:37:23 See the one thing I always hold over my sisters is at one point in time, because I'm the oldest child, I know that I was the favourite for at least three years. So I definitely was favourite at one point in time. And it's true. You would have. What a shame that you're not anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:40 That is a shame. We've got a few people calling. You can continue to call now if you want to know who the favourite is a shame yeah we've got a few people calling 0800 the edge you can continue to call now if you want to know who the favourite is from an unbiased trio we don't care about hurting feelings
Starting point is 00:37:50 yeah you know what we're not going to be the judge like we are judging no we are going to be the judge yes no that's the wrong thing to say but I mean we're not going to have any biased opinion on you
Starting point is 00:37:58 you're right no no no we're not okay so let's go to Mike hey Mike hi alright Mike I want to know what you do for a living
Starting point is 00:38:05 and what your, I think, little sister does. Is that right? Well, I'm a truck driver here in New Zealand, and my little sister is an accountant over in the UK. Do we need to ask any more questions? No. Disappointment. But he lives in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Where do the parents live? The parents are like, oh, my daughter. Yeah, daughter, she's off in the UK. Even if the parents live? The parents will be like, oh, my daughter, yeah, daughter, she's off in the UK. Like, even if she's waiting for a shitty accounting firm, no.
Starting point is 00:38:30 I actually think that I'd pick Mike as my favourite. Mike, Mike, do you see your parents often? I do. I've seen them, like, three times a week. Oh, come on,
Starting point is 00:38:40 then Mike's the favourite. And he's the oldest. Yeah, yeah. I think you're the favourite, Mike. I think you see your parents. We're going to send you out a double pass to our Edge Must See Movie, Sinners, with Michael B. Jordan. It's out in Sinners in a couple of days, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Enjoy it. It's a bloody good film. And her sister's an accountant. She's not a rocket scientist. All right, Clint, you get to ask the first question with Bronwyn. Okay, Bronwyn and your brother. Younger or older, Bron? He's older.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Okay. Jason, that's a nail in your coffin straight away. Do you both have kids? Yes, we've both got one each. Who had the first kid? Me. Looking more your way now.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Okay, when your mum and dad got married, did you guys have any involvement in the wedding? Were you like flower girls or page boys? Like, were you, like, flower girls or page boys? Well, my mum, very weird story, but my mum and dad have been married to each other twice. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Yeah. Cool. Like, renewed their vows or got divorced and then were like, oh. No, no, divorced and married anyway. Oh, wow. Okay, cool. My mum recently got remarried, so her third go. And my brother was sat at the top table,
Starting point is 00:39:51 you know, up at the top table, and his son and his girlfriend, and me and my family sat right down the back. Okay, Bronwyn, why did you call this? We all know you're not the favourite. You're clearly not the favourite. You're clear. If anything, I think they're embarrassed by you, Bronwyn, why did you call this? We all know you're not... Yes, you're clearly not the favourite. You're clear. If anything, I think they're embarrassed by you, Bronwyn.
Starting point is 00:40:07 It's a little clear on this one. I'm really sorry I have to play this. No inheritance for you. The ugly duckling. 100%. Yeah, yeah. Wow, you went on the head table? Damn.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Man. Damn. Oh, that's probably nice. You can sit as close to the front as you want during our Edge Must See movie. With Michael B. Jordan's Sinners. We'll send you a double pass too. Amazing. Thanks so much.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Poor thing. That'd be horrible, wouldn't it? Your brother's sitting on the head table and you're down the back. Jaden, I think, is called to gloat, reckons the favourite out of five. Okay, we'll be the judge of that very quickly. Jaden, you are what number out of five? I'm the second eldest. Second eldest.
Starting point is 00:40:49 What do you do for a living? I'm a recent sports graduate. I'm a general manager of a football club. Sound a bit cocky. General manager of which football club? Stalwan United in Christchurch. Okay. Any hobbies or anything
Starting point is 00:41:05 that connects with mum or dad? Yeah, so I grew up as a opera singer and I was classically trained and went all around New Zealand and eventually I won a scholarship and went over to sing in Europe and mum went along with me
Starting point is 00:41:20 and I think I sort of had a little bit of edge over all my siblings. But do you still do it or is she disappointed that you let the dream go and you're not Pavarotti? Yeah. Well he's dead so. No I mean
Starting point is 00:41:35 I wouldn't say she hasn't referred to me as aspiring to be a Pavarotti. When was the last time she told everyone about the time you went overseas to do opera stuff? To be honest, she mentions it pretty often.
Starting point is 00:41:51 It's not something I do as much anymore, but obviously I put it on the back when I went to university degree, but I definitely still do it. Okay, final thing before we make the final decision.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Give us a note, quick opera note. Now, go. Hello. You are the favourite. We gotta give it to him. us a note, quick opera note. Now, go. You are the favourite. We gotta give it to him. He's the favourite.
Starting point is 00:42:12 I mean, maybe his other siblings aren't great, you know, like they're just a bit mediocre and he's just risen to the top. Me did that line and what you didn't see, she looked at me and she winked like, still got it? She went and then just looked at me like, that's for you, babe. I think you were more in pitch than Jaded.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky Boo. Scandal with Meg. Just changing my tone in text because we're talking about P. Diddy and it's always Dickie and Yuck to me to talk about. It's just been very quiet recently, hasn't he? There's not been much news about this whole thing. Well, this is the newest news that we have. He just pleaded
Starting point is 00:42:49 not guilty to new charges that came in against him. He says that the feds have it all wrong. He's just an innocent man and he's pleading not guilty to the couple new charges. So the ones that have come through now, one for sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion,
Starting point is 00:43:08 and then another one for transportation to engage in prostitution. Two things he said he definitely didn't do. If he didn't, what an awful thing to go up against you. Yeah. And if he did, the worst human alive. Like, it's such a, yeah. So he's saying he's just an innocent man that had a whole load of baby oil really
Starting point is 00:43:25 is he trying to say or trying to internally defend it by being like I didn't actually do those things someone else did yeah I was a part of it
Starting point is 00:43:34 knew it was going on but it wasn't actually me you know I just wonder how what his defence is maybe we need to get our lawyer friend back on maybe we do
Starting point is 00:43:43 since these ones have you know since come out. Yeah, because he really breaks it down in a way that everyone can understand and like, what he said, last time we had him on, he said he will face jail time. How long he's in jail for is
Starting point is 00:43:55 what will be up for debate. So if you're catching up, P. Diddy is now facing five criminal charges overall, two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering. He has pled not guilty to all of them. I always think when we talk about this is
Starting point is 00:44:11 yes, Peter Dee, he's obviously innocent until proven guilty but it sounds like where there's smoke there's fire. But then there's also the implications for everyone else that's involved. Because you'd imagine that being Hollywood there's probably a lot of other famous names
Starting point is 00:44:27 that aren't innocent as well. Absolutely. One of the main stories that has come out of this whole case is the parties he used to host. And what went down at those parties. But also I would think someone who's doing god awful things like that, if that's what he was
Starting point is 00:44:43 actually doing, probably is pretty good at keeping a lot of that secret you don't go around telling everybody so Meg if it would be like if we were around at Dan's house and we go something's up with Dan we don't know what's going on with him but he's our friend and we're hanging out with him and then it comes out so a lot of people that are going to get I think a lot of blowback who may not, who genuinely
Starting point is 00:45:00 may not have had anything to do with it or even been aware that it was happening what do you think? It's naive to think that they have no idea. I think people would be turning blind eyes more likely than having absolutely, completely... If you ever went to one of his parties and stuff... We're not talking about my parties now, though, are we? Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:15 You don't even host parties. Exactly. Can I just make it clear? I've never hosted a party anyway. It was not very nice of you, Cliff, to use Dan as the P. Diddy. Yes, why are you lumping me with P? All right. Okay. Diddy. Yes, why are you lumping me with P? All right.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Okay. Next on the show, this is very, very exciting. We've been doing this for a wee while now. How you like dim apples? Right? This apple we are about to try as we are on the quest to find New Zealand's greatest apple. There are only six of them that were ever grown on this specific orchard and there are only two left
Starting point is 00:45:47 and we have been given one of them. Is it fresh? That's my question. May I see it? It is the same apple that dropped on Isaac Newton's head when he discovered gravity back in the 1600s. Well, not the same apple.
Starting point is 00:46:01 It's from the same tree. And it's definitely not fresh. Yeah, it's like a snippet. I've just been delivering the apple in a box. I was going to say shake it, but maybe we don't. I'm lifting the lid. What's the first impression, Meg? Wow.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Are you just looking apple? It smells like an apple. Okay, great. Okay, that's good. So it's clearly an apple. We think the only way to try it is not sitting here in studio on our office chairs, but much like Isaac Newton, we must have it fall from height
Starting point is 00:46:29 and replicate the gravity moment that made this apple so famous. I also still think we could have an incredible scientific discovery after this from Dan. What do you mean? Well, the fact that he discovered or figured out gravity after this apple hit his head and you're about to have it hit your head, I'm expecting big things, baby.
Starting point is 00:46:47 No, no, no, Meg. No, we've run it past health and safety. It's by far not allowed to hit my head. They've said numerous times. They've put graphs together saying that it's not allowed to go anywhere near my head. The head supposedly has to be outside of a three-metre radius of the cherry picker that we're going to go outside and jump on. Wait, so you're just going to grab the apple and donk it on your head?
Starting point is 00:47:02 Oh, God, no. I'm going to say no to health and safety. I'm going to headbutt the thing. Oh, I want to eat it. Yeah. Don't wreck it. I want to eat it. Okay. So do you want me to catch it or headbutt it? Well, I want you to catch it so I can actually try the apple. There's only
Starting point is 00:47:15 two of them left in the country and we've been given one of them. Don't you? He's going to show off. You can catch it and then we can have a bite of it and then you can donk it on your head. Okay. Well, let's get out of the studio and see how it goes. we can have a bite of it and then you can dog-cut on your head. Okay, well, let's get out of the studio and see how it goes. There's normally a bit of a run-up with how you like them apples and I feel like today... I think we've sort of lost our way with this segment.
Starting point is 00:47:34 It's going to be quite the run-up. We are currently outside the Edge building right now in Hiver's Vests. Dan is wearing eyewear, so is Meg. How come you guys got eyewear? I don't know. Why is Clint not got eyewear? I don't know. Why is Clint not wearing eyewear? That's the question. Pretty your eyes.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah, yeah. Now, we're out here for How You Like Them Apples, which has been critiqued as having quite a long run-up to something that involves just us trying apples and then reviewing them on here as we're on a quest to find New Zealand's greatest apple of all time. Now, this is a very specific and special apple because on the evening of 1666,
Starting point is 00:48:11 the soon-to-be-famous Isaac Newton sat down beneath an apple tree to mull over his thoughts when all of a sudden he was struck on the top of his head by a large red and yellow apple. Beautiful. It got Newton pondering, what made it fall? What was the force that brought it down to earth onto his head? and yellow apple. Beautiful. It got Newton pondering. What made it fall? What was the force that brought it down to earth
Starting point is 00:48:27 onto his head? He discovered gravity with the Kent apple. Wow. Now, Dan, do you want to explain how we got hold of this apple? Well, apparently,
Starting point is 00:48:38 there is a descendant of the said apple tree that Isaac sat underneath. The tree descendant. It is in West Auckland, New Zealand. You can Google it. And there's a man that has managed to get one of the said apple tree that Isaac sat underneath. The tree descended. It is in West Auckland, New Zealand. You can Google it. And there's a man that has managed to get one of the six fruits that it had this season off said apple tree.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Meg is holding it in her gorgeous hands right now. I am indeed, Dan. Yeah, it feels very special to be here today. This is not the apple. Oh, no, no. That'd be like 400 years old. It's quite an old apple. Probably flowery by that point.
Starting point is 00:49:07 But it is a cousin, a distant cousin of the apple. Yeah, the Kent apple. So there are only two left in the country that we're aware of. Brian, who owns the orchard, has the other. And we have one right here in this box. So Meg, you and I are going to get into the cherry picker, try to replicate, you know, the gravity and the falling. And Dan, you are going to...
Starting point is 00:49:26 How do you get up in there? Meg's going to climb up. Well, Meg's pregnant. OK, I'll help you up. OK, so this is all live, so Meg, you've got to climb up. Text live to 3343 if you'd like to watch the drop. Are you OK? Off you go. She's in. So Meg is into the capsule.
Starting point is 00:49:41 OK. Meg, do you feel like Katy Perry who just went to space? I do. I do feel, um, wow. This is going to be a big morning. Okay. Good morning for all that has passed me about the apple. Thank you very much. So what's going to happen, I believe, and I, look, can I
Starting point is 00:49:57 just be honest? I'm not part of the organisation of this, but you guys are going to go up in the cherry picker to the height of an apple tree. I'm going to sit like Isaac Newton on the ground. Pondering. Pondering. You're going to drop the apple from a height onto my head. Now have you, this is very important Dan,
Starting point is 00:50:14 have you thought about what problem you're pondering? Because you've got to ponder the problem and then we're trying to fix it with this experiment. I'm not going to ponder a problem. I'm going to taste the apple. You've got to ponder a problem. I'm going to taste the apple. You've got to ponder a problem. Okay, well, you ponder.
Starting point is 00:50:29 We have to go up, so let's go up. Meg, have you been instructed how to use that? Great. You can text live to 3343 if you'd like to watch. Guys, we still haven't even played the intro yet. And the intro is generally the longest bit of this. Okay, do we save that to the next frame? Okay, why don't we go to a song?
Starting point is 00:50:44 Meg, are we going up? So Meg's got to the next? Okay, why don't we go to a song? Meg, are we going up? So Meg's got to work that out. So why don't we play a song? We'll work out how to actually use the cherry picker. Start on. Okay. Someone turn on the cherry picker.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Turn it off and then back on, whatever we have to do. And then we'll get our intro, and we will try one of only two apples left in the country next to see if the Kent apple is the greatest apple of all time. Should we just taste it, really? We are currently at the top of a cherry picker, about to throw an apple down to Dan that he is going to try. Why do you care about that?
Starting point is 00:51:17 Why should you be listening? It turns out there's an orchard in West Auckland that has a cutting from the apple tree that in 1666 was the same apple tree that produced an apple that dropped on Sir Isaac Newton's head when he discovered gravity. Yes, Clinton. Dan has been pottering the issue that he's about to solve for everybody and eat the apple.
Starting point is 00:51:37 It is a big morning, a big moment. Okay, there are only six of these apples that were ever actually grown off this tree this year. There are two left. And Brian, thank you if you're listening, gave us one to try this morning. Now, we're going to stop and get into the intro. It's a very short intro. We'll just roll this one, get you up to speed,
Starting point is 00:51:54 and then we will try the apple and see if it's worth the hype. Let's roll. Ah, gravity. Gravity. Gravity. Oh, okay. Don't get me started on gravity. Let's take a journey back.
Starting point is 00:52:14 On a warm summer's evening in 1666, just after dinner, the soon-to-be-famous Isaac Newton sat down beneath an apple tree to mull over his thoughts, because he didn't have TikTok andtock and doom scrolling hadn't even been invented yet when all of a sudden he was struck on the top of his dome by a large red apple this got young newton pondering why did the apple fall what pulled it towards his head? What's that movie with Sandra Bullock in a spaceship? Eureka, he cried. And gravity was discovered. Or was it?
Starting point is 00:52:56 Maybe the apple was just a particularly aggressive piece of fruit with a vendetta against intellectuals, like me. Ever think of that, Professor Smarty Pants? Probably not. Too busy inventing calculus and ruining everybody's fun with shitty equations, wanker. What are we talking about again? Oh, that's right. Apples.
Starting point is 00:53:17 So today, as we rediscover and recreate the moment when the laws of physics were defined and rewritten forever. Standing atop a cherry picker next to a bike rack in the radio station car park, our crack team have assembled. The leader of the group has had many run-ins with gravity. His reproductive organs swing like a pendulum, completely enslaved to the force pulling them back to Earth. He once competed in a high diving competition, but was disqualified on the jumping board for being both outside the water and in it at the same time. His name... Then there was the female of the group.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Well, perhaps the apple has already knocked her on her head because she doesn't even seem to believe in gravity. She really is the Phoebe of the group, so to speak. She thinks it's just a conspiracy theory to sell sturdier high heels like wedges. Her name. And
Starting point is 00:54:20 last, but definitely also least. Well, gravity has done a real number on this one, I just wish it'd get really strong and suck him under the earth completely, prick. His name. So without further ado, ado, ado,
Starting point is 00:54:37 ado, adeer. Ado, adeer. Who cares? Because we've filled out the health and safety forms and completed a risk assessment table. Because this is How Do You Like Them Apples? Thank you very much for that very quick and speedy intro so we can get straight into it. Thank God for that. Man, what a lead up. Okay. We're about to drop. Oh, we'll be the envy of everywhere. There are only two of these apples
Starting point is 00:55:09 in the country and we have one of them. I've never wanted to taste an apple so badly. Save some for us. Save some for us. Okay, here we go. So I'm Isaac Newton. You guys are the tree. You're going to drop it on my head in three, two, one. Throw the apple. That's a great toss. Straight on the head and onto the ground. Oh, good one, Dan. It still looks partially intact. Daniel, get the apple, please. Dan is lying face down on the asphalt.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I'm unsure if he's pretending to be knocked out or is knocked out, but he has not moved since it hit him in the head. And we can't taste the apple because we're still up high. We're going down. We're going down. We're going down. Daniel Webby. Right we can't taste the apple because we're still up high in the tree. We're going down. We're going down. Daniel Webby. Right, can we get the apple, please? Is anybody going to check on the man?
Starting point is 00:55:51 We need to dock his pay, actually. Okay. Here, Mike. Oh, the button. Okay. Meg, I'm going to try the apple. Oh, okay. Oh, no, it's all mushed and soft now.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Damn, you idiot. Oh, it's so bruised. All right. Oh. Oh. Oh, my God. Why has someone not put me in the recovery position? I could have literally been knocked out there.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Literally knocked out. No one even came to check me. Nothing. I've been laying there lifeless on the floor for like 30 seconds. We're in the cherry picker and none of them
Starting point is 00:56:30 wanted to interrupt the live stream. It's very bruised. That's the most flowery apple I think we've tried today. Isaac Newton had an epiphany the day he did this. Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Okay? An apple came out of the tree and fell on his head. Yes. And he discovered gravity. The thing I've discovered this morning is this has been the most pointless piece of shit thing we've ever done in my life.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I have been involved in some absolute crap on radio before, but yet we're standing on the top of a cherry picker pretending to be Isaac Newton while we taste apples. Pathetic. Carl, you're fired. This was your idea. We're never doing this again. He can't fire you, Carl.
Starting point is 00:57:07 It's okay. He can't fire you. We need you because I don't know who's going to pack up all the cameras and stuff. Casey, we're firing him. Honestly, you made a gag
Starting point is 00:57:15 and now there's only two apples in the country and that one's busted and bruised and crushed. Sorry, Brian. I don't even think we can give your apple a real review.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Sorry. Yuck. Piss off. Clint, Meg and Dan. Spinky boot. I don't even think we can give your apple a real review. Sorry, yuck. Piss off. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky bit. And Mitch James joins us in studio because after a decade
Starting point is 00:57:30 of chart-topping hits, sold-out tours and almost 300 million streams, Mitch James is going to be taking to the stage one last time for a final show, a very emotional send-off,
Starting point is 00:57:41 I would imagine, at Christchurch Town Hall next month, May 24th. Why Christchurch, by the way? It's always just been the strongest market for me. I feel like if I, I mean, I was raised in Auckland, born in Auckland, but I feel like, no offence, Auckland, but if I did it here, just no one would give a shit. So, like, you know, you got Tualipa here last week.
Starting point is 00:58:01 You got all the big dogs. But Christchurch has always been super, super good to me. And so I just wanted to repay that for the last show. And yeah, I mean, for every message that I got asking where it was, it was about five to one for Christchurch. So there you go, Christchurchians. We're going to have it in about a month. We love Christchurch as well.
Starting point is 00:58:20 How do you approach the final show? How does it differ from just a normal show on a tour? Yeah, I think, well, obviously there's going to be so much emotion and, you know, for anyone who's been along this journey with me, it's, you know, I've always tried to be a storyteller with my music, so I'm really going to sort of go into that angle. I'm playing basically all the songs that I've released, which is, you know, for the last little bit, I've been playing just like 45 minutes to an hour and just like all the big bangers, which is, you know, for the last little bit, I've been playing just like 45 minutes to an hour and just like all the big bangers,
Starting point is 00:58:46 which is like, you know, it's one side of my artistry, but it's not the whole thing. So I'm really excited to go into the stories behind the songs and the deeper songs, the slower songs, and these new ones as well. How much have you performed the new ones? Not much? I haven't at all, actually. Oh, new ones not much i haven't at all actually
Starting point is 00:59:05 yeah i haven't at all so i believe i played bird in a hurricane in sydney uh once and that that's it so i love that this is my favorite song of yours thank you yeah it's um that's what the whole last album and new album is it's sort of just really focused in on that telling stories and songwriting angles so it doesn't go as appreciated these days in the 15 second world but that's kind of
Starting point is 00:59:31 why I'm quitting. Which is a funny thing because I think a lot of artists and I'd say there's not many that don't do this where they'll have
Starting point is 00:59:39 this trajectory of their career where they kind of go like this and their talent towards the end of their career when they retire kind of drops off
Starting point is 00:59:45 because they've lost. But you've just gotten better and better. You've just got better. That last album I reckon is your best work. Thanks bro. I genuinely feel that way as well. I think as you go along as an artist, especially with my journey
Starting point is 01:00:00 it was like, there was sort of like this period in the middle where I was focused on being like a pop star and And what comes with a pop star is, you know, these big pop songs and, you know, antics and whatever. And I sort of got to the end of that stage in my career and was like, you know, I just want to be remembered as someone who was a great artist. And, you know, not the world isn't always in sync with what you want to do as an artist. And it definitely feels that way right now. But when I look back, you know, the world isn't always in sync with what you want to do as an artist, and it definitely feels that way right now. But when I look back, you know, I always want to look back
Starting point is 01:00:28 and feel like I was true to me, and this last album was just, I'm so proud of it. Like, as a songwriter, I feel like if the world was obsessed with, you know, good songs, then, you know, I would have been, I would have achieved what I wanted to achieve. But yeah, I look back with nothing but good memories now and so just to end on this
Starting point is 01:00:51 note and have these songs as sort of my piece de resistance, if you will, is I'm just so proud and ready to move on. Yeah, that's true that you are ending on the best notes and Anna's one of the lucky ones who is going to see you live. Anna, let's go. Yay! Let on the best notes. And Anna is one of the lucky ones who is going to see you live. Anna, let's go. Yay.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Let's go. Yay. Hello. Hey, Anna. You're going to be there. I'm checking in the diary. May 24th, Saturday, Crushers Town Hall. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Thank you so much. We will see you there. Let's go. You're going to be great. Thank you so much, everyone. Yeah, well done. There's so many people messaging through with support and stuff for your final show. Someone's even offered if you want money or something, I'll got you.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Yeah, so I've just got to take money. I might take you up on that. Actually, how much? If you want an opening act as well, the three of us, over the last couple of days, have been talking about putting a band together. Oh, okay. Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Okay. Yeah. And by the last couple of days, we really do mean yesterday we came up with the idea, and then today we're still just talking about it. I haven't booked an opener. just saying just saying you know if we really want to make me look good i'm i'm pretty down you know what i mean because you're like man this is this is horrible and then i'll look so good it's gonna be so bad that people will genuinely live and go
Starting point is 01:01:59 home i know bar sales i might get it you know, we can work in tandem. I know your solo career is coming to an end, but what about starting the career as a frontman of a crappy band? What are your thoughts on that? Or a manager, maybe? I am pretty keen to leave music, guys. Not even that's going to keep him. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:20 All right, well, yeah. Maybe we'll see how we get on, because Meg's on drums, I'm on lead guitar. Meg's on drums? Yeah. I lead guitar. Meg's on drums. Yeah. I thought you were to be the front woman. No, can't sing. So, you know, I'm the hot drum girl.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I've heard different on a couple nights out. That's thanks to auto-tune. All right, let's give this one a spin. Tickets will go on sale next Tuesday, 7pm. That is correct, I believe. Okay, cool. You're still getting it up on social. Yeah, yeah. Look, as we were off there I was scurrying around on my phone. It's still not up on Facebook.
Starting point is 01:02:53 And I couldn't upload it and blah blah blah. So for all the boomers on Facebook, I'll have an announcement for you in approximately three minutes. Mitch, joining us in studio, because we've just announced he's going to be taking to the stage for our final show, the very, very last time,
Starting point is 01:03:09 Christchurch Town Hall, Saturday, May 24th. Tickets go on sale next Tuesday night, 7pm. And for all the boomers, the post should be up on Facebook now. Okay. Great. Only 15 minutes late.
Starting point is 01:03:21 It's all good. It's fine. Not like it's a big day for me or anything. Exactly. Now, we sort of put it on your radar that three of us are going to be putting together a band
Starting point is 01:03:31 yeah I'm all ears and yeah so your gig's like what six weeks away five oh god don't say
Starting point is 01:03:38 it's less than six right I'm sort of in the same boat to be fair so the instruments we've been given is I'm on drums, producer Nipia is on bass because he can't play.
Starting point is 01:03:47 He's actually very good at playing. And then we've got Web Girl Bella who can actually play keys, play keyboard. We haven't seen it, though, let's be honest. We haven't seen her rip out a tune. And then we've got Dan who's on rhythm guitar and Clint who's on lead guitar. So NZ Idol, Clint Randall is not on vocals.
Starting point is 01:04:02 No. Well, both Dan and him are going to sing, but the problem is they can't sing and play at the same time because they're not multi-talented like you. So they have to have somebody. It does take a while to get to that. That's why we're both on guitars. When Dan's singing, I'll be playing. And when I'm singing, Dan will play.
Starting point is 01:04:15 But then hold on, what if there's a bit where you're needing to do lead guitar and it goes through the whole song? You can't stop because I'm just on rhythm. We've got five weeks to work that out, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's sounding like a maybe. Yeah. I'm actually,
Starting point is 01:04:28 like, look, the edge has been very good to me over the last 10 years. Why not? Why not? I don't have an opener at the moment, so why not?
Starting point is 01:04:36 I have expected you to say no and now you're saying why not. I'm getting kind of nervous and looking right there. Well, look, it's true. The thing is, why don't we do something and then we can spring it to Mitch and see if...
Starting point is 01:04:48 Yeah, let's touch base. Like an audition of sorts. Yeah. What's the cut off? Probably a couple of weeks. Probably a couple of weeks. Good. I'll give you 14 days.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I can scratch together some shit on a guitar in a couple of weeks. Because after tickets next week, a week after that, I may need you. Yeah. Okay. In two weeks. Guys, we're away for a week and a half. We'll have to just practice in the holidays.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Hold on, I'm not going to be sitting in my house on that week and a half learning rhythm guitar. I've got plans. Are you committed or not? Maybe you should. Man, really?
Starting point is 01:05:21 I don't know. I've got plans. What? Shut up. What are your plans? Oh, I'm about to make them. Yeah. You're going to be eating chocolate.
Starting point is 01:05:30 What's your plans? No, I'm going to be great to see my drums. Not like you're having a baby or anything. I'm not thinking I'm busy enough. Imagine being Meg's neighbours over this next couple of weeks. They've pissed me off over the years enough with their musicals. Big time. Big, big baby.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Okay. All right. So we have two weeks time. Baby, baby. Okay, all right. So we have two weeks to go away, learn our instruments, and then perform to you. And if we are at a standard that is decent enough, we can open for Mitch James in his final show in Christchurch. Sounds good to me. I mean, sounds mediocre to me. Yeah, same thing.
Starting point is 01:06:01 What's the band called? We haven't even come up with a name. Maybe we should... Like, think it's Clinton and the Guys or something. No, no, I thought, what were the band called? We haven't even come up with a name. Maybe we should... Like, think it's Clinton and the Guys or something. No, no, I thought, what were the Sixers? Because we all got six on attractiveness, so it's the Sixers. That's just how hard I want to explain every time.
Starting point is 01:06:13 People are like, why are you called the Sixers? Because we're ugly. Yeah. And 666 is quite a satanic number. Yeah, not at my show, thanks, guys. Yeah. We'll go to the drawing board on that one. Okay, maybe that's a tomorrow problem.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Next on the show, we talk about the only thing you'll see on the internet today, the all-woman crew that launched into space alongside Katy Perry, who did sing on their 11-minute mission. And no, it wasn't E.T. You probably wouldn't want to hear Firework either, would you? No. Exactly. All right, tickets go on sale.
Starting point is 01:06:44 A reminder, next Tuesday, 7pm, get amongst at the very last ever tour that Mitch James will do. Show, show, not tour. Oh, sorry, show. I wish. I've been getting so much crap from everyone I know and all my friends.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Literally, one of my chats with my friends is consistent, literally just jokes about me not being retired. So I'd love to do a tour, but it's just the show. It's just the show. Alright, one show, Christchurch, put it in the diary, 24th of May, be there. It's going to be a very emotional send-off, I'm sure. Thank you, Mitch!
Starting point is 01:07:14 Clint, Megan, Jan, Spinky Boo. T-minus 10, 9, It's the only news you will see today, I'm sure, if on the internet. It will be a hard one to miss. 4, command engine start, 2, command engine start. Two, one, ignition. First time in 60 years an all-female crew have launched into space.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Happened earlier this morning. Would you guys do it? Out of interest, we haven't really spoken about this because we've obviously talked about the launch and the fact that Katy Perry was on it. But if you were asked, like Katy was, to go to space by Jeff Bezos, would you go? I'd say no. I couldn't do it. I'd be too nervous.
Starting point is 01:07:50 I would consider it. Is it free? Yeah, it's free. Because I wouldn't spend the money. There's a lot of more interesting or impressing issues that I could spend that much money on. Clint, shut up. You get seasick at Rainbow's End.
Starting point is 01:08:02 You would be vomiting to the moment that that rocket That would have been one time in the bumper boats. Clint, you and I would not survive a rocket. There is no way
Starting point is 01:08:14 I would take a lot of Ondansatron before I left, which I think is a Clint's like loaded up with seasick bracelets. Can I have one of those? No, I need them all. A cocktail of sea legs.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Yeah. Oh my God, You're actually right all. A cocktail of sea legs. Yeah. Oh, my God. You're actually right. I didn't even consider that. Yeah. Yeah, like, Megan and I will get sick if we're not sitting in the front seat on a long drive. I need a window. I need a window.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Yep, yep. I need to look where we're going. Put the window down, please. I need an air con. The most interesting part of this, I thought, Katie Perry was obviously one of the people on with Oprah's best mate. Gail King, yeah. This is what Gail King said Katy Perry did. The best part was when we got back in our seats after Zero G's,
Starting point is 01:08:55 Katy sang What a Wonderful World. She did? Oh, come on. She sang What a Wonderful World, I see dreams. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Do you think she rehearsed it before she went up? Yeah, 100%. She already had Wonderful World locked into her head of what would be the song.
Starting point is 01:09:12 No, I found it most interesting, the footage of them coming back down to Earth and they were screaming. It was actually quite a thing to hear. They were waiting to see the drogue parachutes deploy from the crew capsule. Those are like the guide parachutes. There go the drogue parachutes deploy from the crew capsule. Those are like the guide parachutes. There go the drogue parachutes. Just free-falling right there until those drogues came out. And then next will be the main parachutes that get pulled out. I'd be screaming inside the capsule.
Starting point is 01:09:44 Obviously, they would have known that the free. I'd be screaming. Screaming inside the capsule. It's so sad. I know, but obviously they would have known that the free fall would have happened. And I don't know why I get so like almost pissed off at that. But it just is like, come on, girls. Like everybody's watching and you're screaming. Oh, me. Have you were on there? Have you and I were on there? Yeah, but that's why I wouldn't do it.
Starting point is 01:09:59 I wouldn't do it. It just feels so silly. It feels so silly that we watch that. So I guess it excites some people for the fact that maybe being able to just go into space will be an actual option for some people in the future. It angers a lot of other people about how much money people are spending to do it when there are bigger concerns on the ground here on Earth. But you only spend 11 minutes in space.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Four minutes of that is floating around. Yeah. I would have liked, if I'm going out there, I'm thinking I'm doing like an Airbnb night at the space station. Clint, again, you would be covered in vomit.
Starting point is 01:10:32 You'd just be floating all around the space station. You'd be like, me and Dan would be trying to dodge Clint's vomit. Is that a carrot? Yeah. Sorry, guys.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Sorry. And you don't get to take a change of clothes up to space. And I would all go in his suit. Clint's got his Alice Katie hoodie. He's like, where's that? I've got a sponsored poster I need to do. It's got an ad.
Starting point is 01:10:53 You have a real missed opportunity. Imagine what a client would pay to get a sponsored poster in space. Yeah, I know. Now he's actually thinking about it. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky boot. You can take revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge is sweet. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Yeah, I have found a thread of what women have done and what they've said their friends have done because I don't know if they want it on the internet of what they've done. When their partner has cheated, done them wrong, wronged them by any sorts. I like to think that the partner did something really bad, so let's just go with that.
Starting point is 01:11:28 Okay? Because if the partner just broke up with them, then these are crazy. Like, let's say they slept with their partner's sister at a family reunion. But then the sister shit. Let's say a best friend. Okay, a best friend at a 21st.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Yeah, yeah, okay, good. Then you go, right, okay, the revenge has to be good. So we've got some smaller ones to start with. Okay, yeah, start small, let's go with the big stuff. So Katie Marie, she said, I took all the lids to his Tupperware and then I slept with his brother.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Ooh, could have just left it at the Tupperware. Or done one or the other. One or the other. Done the brother or the Tupperware. Yeah, both. Maybe she did the lids and then just didn't feel like she got them back enough. Shay said, this was a friend of mine who did this. Okay, Shay. That was definitely her, Shay.
Starting point is 01:12:14 She sprayed liquid adhesive over every surface on the inside of his car and then glitter bombed it. Oh, God, that's literally like ruining a car. Yeah, that's too far. Yeah, that's too far. Yeah, that's too far. It depends what sort of car it was. Because also then all of a sudden if they can prove that it was her, the vandalism of her,
Starting point is 01:12:31 now she's got a massive bill and she's going through the courts. It's messy, isn't it? Especially like the glitter in a way. Somebody sprayed the carpet with water and then sprinkled chia seeds throughout the house. Oh, to try and have it grow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:42 That's funny. That's funny. I like that one. We're just finding the line. We're finding the line. It, to try and have it grow. Yeah. That's funny. That's funny. I like that one. We're just finding the line. We're finding the line. It's a slow burn. Oh, maybe if it was garage carpet or if it was just one room. Because you could just replace one room with carpet.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Yeah. Okay. Kaylee, put onion slices under the fridge. That's all right. It's fine. It's fine. You'd find it. Remove it.
Starting point is 01:13:01 It's fine. So far, the glitter one's been the worst in terms of damages. I put super glue in his hair gel. Oh, no. That's bad. Okay, so that one's gone, so that's a no. That's too far. I took one button off all of his work shirts.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Love that one. That's a really good one. And you'd make sure it wasn't the top button. It'd be like one of the middle ones. One button. Yeah. I bent all the zipper teeth in his pants. Okay, so he can't
Starting point is 01:13:27 do up his fly. How do you bend zipper teeth? I guess you get some grips. Like some clamps. That would be annoying.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Squash it. Squash the zip. I put some insulation in his boxes so he thought he had the STD and tried to hide his itch for weeks.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Glorious. Put insulation in his boxes and he didn't notice. Like pink bats. But why wouldn't you notice that? So that's not good. We would never do that.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Okay. Well, no, I mean, it's a fine one. I just don't know how that would go unnoticed. Yeah. I'm always looking into the gusset when I pull on my knickers. Save that for Friday. What do you mean you're always looking in the gusset when you put on your knickers?
Starting point is 01:14:05 Why? Well, you just check, don't you? What are you looking for? They're clean. Are there visibly unclean undies in your house? In your top drawer. They're visibly unclean. They should be always clean.
Starting point is 01:14:18 Oh, God. You guys read into a lot, don't you? You really do. Just breeze over what I say sometimes. I just don't get what you mean. When you're putting on your undies and you go, I've gotten to the point
Starting point is 01:14:26 of getting dressed and you look down and you go, just make sure there's no skids. Well, no, I didn't say anything about that. Well, then what is visible? Also, you need to look into the undie
Starting point is 01:14:34 to see where to put your feet. Like, if I'm stepping into a pair of knickers, I'm making sure I'm looking down. I would notice the big bit of pink bat in there. Okay, so let us know if anyone has ever
Starting point is 01:14:46 wronged you. Maybe you can let us know what you did and let us know what your petty revenge was and we'll see if the revenge, I think, matches the crime. Let's do one more. I have a client who found out that her husband cheated a few weeks before the wedding. She cancelled her half of the wedding, the people that she invited and
Starting point is 01:15:02 the vendors that she paid for and then let him, his family and the vendors show up as planned while they were trying to figure it out. We were moving her stuff out of their house. Oh, that is good.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Because you're like, where is she and all of her friends? Yeah, yeah. And none of her side turned up. It seems harsh, but I still think it's, I feel like it's,
Starting point is 01:15:20 I don't know. No, I was going to say I think it's worthy, right? You cheated two weeks before the wedding. She doesn't want to marry you and this is your way of... He has to explain it. Yeah, I was going to say I think it's worthy, right? You cheated two weeks before the wedding. She doesn't want to marry you and this is your way of... He has to explain it.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Yeah, this is... You found out. Texas 3343 0800 The Edge. Petty revenge. If you've got a story, 0800 The Edge. We could take revenge, revenge, revenge.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Yeah. These are some big baddies on online. Some ones that you sit there and go, surely nobody's ever done that. But some of them are okay. Like one woman,
Starting point is 01:15:47 she took the remote control for their garage. I think they had two. Right. And then whenever she drove past, you just opened the garage. Excellent. Excellent. If he's home, yeah, you'd be like, what is that noise and why does it keep opening? But if you weren't home and someone robbed you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:59 It depends what the fallout is, right? Yeah. There's someone talking about throwing rubber bands all over the guy's deck. She said they can't be swept up, so they need to be picked up one by right? Yeah. There's someone talking about throwing rubber bands all over the guy's deck. She said they can't be swept up so they need to be picked up one by one. It's like, well that's funny
Starting point is 01:16:09 because you're not damaging property. We've got some more. One woman, like we said, somebody sprayed the carpet and then sprinkled out chia seeds. Another woman put milk in a spray bottle
Starting point is 01:16:19 and then sprayed like clothes and stuff because like old milk, that horrible smell. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. So that was stuck in his. Somebody had an X
Starting point is 01:16:29 that was into Warhammer figurines. So those little figurines. I took all of those. I repainted them a little and then I sold them back to him under a new eBay account. So we had to replay for his own. Oh goodness me.
Starting point is 01:16:42 That's a nerd's worst nightmare. It is a nerd's worst nightmare. Yeah. This is a great one, Meg. If you guys have broken up and then you used to share a Netflix account and you realise that they're still watching a show, just as they're getting to the end,
Starting point is 01:16:54 change his name when he logs into a massive spoiler like Glenn Dyes. Oh, yes. And they'd be like, oh, my God. Or even logging out of all of them right at the end so they have to set up their own account. Wait till they've just did the final episode of Game of Thrones or something and then log them out.
Starting point is 01:17:09 What about this one? This one's interesting. So it wasn't a breakup. She's just said, my husband is mildly allergic to cats, so they're still married. And she said, when he pisses me off,
Starting point is 01:17:17 I rub the cat all over his pillow. Horrible. I mean, that's an allergic reaction. If he's not too bad, he might be all right. But it's not like you've broken up. He's still your husband. Oh, we've got anonymous on 0800 The Edge.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Good morning. It was your ex's flatmate. No, it was my flatmate. Oh, it was your flatmate. Okay, what did you do? My ex-flatmate. Oh, ex-flatmate. I, yeah, I killed her avocado tree she'd been growing for five years.
Starting point is 01:17:44 How did you do it? And how many avocados did it have on it when you killed it? Um, none yet, but it was thriving. Oh, so it was one of those ones that she'd been waiting five years. She's like, it's finally this season going to fruit. And you're like, no, it won't. No, I poured boiling water into the roots every morning and slowly watched it die.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Oh, that poor tree. Okay, wait. I feel for the tree. What did I do? Did you see her reaction to the slow death? Yes. What did she do to deserve the revenge? What was the first act?
Starting point is 01:18:19 She was just the worst flatmate, just always late on rent, but then would blame all of us for everything else. Yeah, okay. Yeah, she had a come and come as a bitch. Another text, they ripped all the last pages out of the books he was reading. Oh, now that is cruel. See, it would have been like, that ended weirdly, quite abruptly.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Strange ending. So annoying. Why every book I'm reading at the moment just end badly? Writers need to buck their ideas up. So annoying. Hey, Corey. Good morning. Corey, we're talking petty revenge,
Starting point is 01:18:57 and we'll say whether it was worthy or not. Yep. Go on. I gave a little bit of a revend of ordering some fart spray and spraying it into the air conditioning so when the air conditioning in the car got turned on, there was a horrible stench that went through the whole car. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Other people put, like, anchovies and stuff in the air for instance. What did they do to deserve that, Corey? Yeah. They kind of robbed me while I was sleeping and I found their vehicle, so I decided to take revenge and take my stuff back. Yep. Okay, that'll do it.
Starting point is 01:19:40 They robbed you, that will do it. That will do it. You robbed them of a nice smelling ride. And Alexandra, what did you do? What was your petty revenge? So I peed in my flatmate's shampoo bottle when I was at uni. Too far. Wouldn't you know?
Starting point is 01:19:56 Was it a mixture of like half shampoo, half urine? What did they do? It wasn't hate. And afterwards I shook the bottle up so you'd never know. But it was like a series of ongoing things. Like she would, she never cleaned anything. She would go through my stuff when I went away for a weekend. I was sick with a concussion one time, and her and her mates came around,
Starting point is 01:20:20 all got drunk, throwing stuff at the walls, been so loud. The next morning I woke up, and she'd been to the toilet and hadn't flushed. And that was just the final straw. I was like, nah, got in the shower. I'm going to put about 100 mils of whey into the shampoo bottle. It was one of those things that was just so harmless. She would never know, but it was so satisfying every time she washed her hair. I mean, I guess it's better than putting time she washed her hair, I just knew.
Starting point is 01:20:45 It's better than putting the hair removal cream near inside it. Yeah, even the giggle now that you still get when you tell her. You still enjoy it. You still love it. It's a good, it's a nice match, I think. Yeah, herbal essences, eh? And maybe just to wrap with Brenda, I cut off all the plugs of the electrical appliances.
Starting point is 01:21:03 That's just mean. Nothing would work. Everything's destroyed unless you get an electrician to go and reattach everything. Nah, pulled all the labels off the tins food in the cupboard.
Starting point is 01:21:12 Not as good as the peeing one. Oh, annoying though. You'd have to be like, oh, I feel like rice pudding then you open some creamed corn. Imagine that poor girl going back to the wee and the thing.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Like she's just going into the shower washing her hair. She doesn't know. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boo. Easter Megs. Looking like something we just going into the shower washing her hair. She doesn't know. Clint, Megan, Dan. Stinky boot. Easter Megs. Looking like something
Starting point is 01:21:28 we'll be able to give away on Thursday just before the long weekend of Easter. A very limited run, though, as far as where we are. And Yolanda from Body Effects has been working on the mould
Starting point is 01:21:38 to then give to Devonport Chocolates to actually get these things actually completed tomorrow. Hi, Yolanda. Hi, good morning, guys. You've been looking at pictures of my face and making a little miniature
Starting point is 01:21:49 Meg. Is it like shoulders up? Is that right? Shoulders and head? Pretty much. We've got a little sneaky cleavage going on. Yeah, but it's not too sassy, though. A little bit of extra chocolate. An all-ages kind of bust. An all-ages Meg egg. Happy days. Happy to hear that it's not an R18. though. A little bit of extra chocolate. It's an all-ages kind of bust. An all-ages Meg egg.
Starting point is 01:22:05 That's happy days. That's happy to hear that it's not an R18. And so, Yolanda, what detail did you put into Meg's face? I'd like to know, because obviously it'd be tricky to get every detail. Yeah, because it's just the shape of my face. The shape of it. Do you go to like... Well, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah, no, she definitely was very challenging, because she's absolutely gorgeous, you know. It's way easier to make like a little ugly statue. So we had to find that beautiful likeness. So, yeah, that was the big challenge. But, yeah, so I tried to add some sparkle in her eye. A lot of photos came with her smiling really big. And I was just like, yeah, I'm not going to stop taste because that's going to take way too long.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Oh, so we've got a closed mouth Meg. That's okay. That's good. Yeah, we've got a closed mouth Meg. Oh, lovely. But, you know, a beautiful alluring one, I think. And do you think she'll look good
Starting point is 01:22:55 like in a dark chocolate? Oh, I reckon. I reckon. Yes, I think you should have a, I think you should have at least three flavours, you know? Yeah. Maybe you should have a white chocolate one as well. Oh, okay, yeah. I think you should have at least three flavours, you know? Yeah. Maybe you should have a white chocolate one as well.
Starting point is 01:23:07 Oh, okay, yeah. Maybe they can get creative and give you a white chocolate with some dark brown hair. Like marbling. Oh, I see. I'm not sure what the chocolate people are going to do with it. I'm, like, so grateful that you've, like, put in the time to, like, spend your day moulding my little face.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Thank you so much for doing that. What did you mould her out of? It was fun. What did you mould her out of? Clay? What sort of products did you use? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just like a normal clay and then had to make the mould out of
Starting point is 01:23:31 a food-safe silicon so we can actually create something that's edible. Oh, I want to keep... I might have to buy the mould off you because I can make plenty of things now that it's made. Oh, yeah. What else would you make? Meg's going to make a Meg statue and have it out the front
Starting point is 01:23:46 when you get to her house yes you'll know it's an amazing place you guys have body effects my wife and I go there every Halloween
Starting point is 01:23:53 and spend a fortune because you guys have everything and I love they've got actual like faces that you can like put on like a mask
Starting point is 01:24:00 head and it's the hair and the moustache honestly it'd look like you're about 90 years old and I don't think most people would pick it. It's incredible what you guys do there. Can you also go and buy online body effects?
Starting point is 01:24:10 Is there a website? Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure, yes. Body effects of Kona and Dead. Wow. Okay, yeah, that looks epic. So you could make anyone just look like an old man. Yeah, it's like the jackass videos.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Yeah, yeah. Like the guys make it look like they're 80, and then they go and do really dangerous things and stuff. Yeah. This is so awesome. Yeah, yeah. Like the guys make it look like they're 80 and then they go and do really dangerous things and stuff. Yeah. This is so awesome. Okay, cool. Thank you so much for that. All right, so you've passed the baton on to Devonport Chocolates.
Starting point is 01:24:34 They will get it made and then we can give them away come Thursday. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the end result. I really hope they can work properly with the moulds and then you'll look absolutely stunningly delicious. We have to send one to Yolanda shortly. Yeah, we should. Yolanda gets a neat egg. Okay, we will.
Starting point is 01:24:49 Oh, well, I'm not going to say no to an Easter egg. What bit are you eating first? You know when you get an Easter egg, do you eat the ears or the tail? I'll probably nibble a little bit off her nose and just shave it down. What the hell does that mean? Of course, she's got a big nose. Just correct it a little bit. I'll shave it down. There's not tons of space there to shave down.
Starting point is 01:25:08 Send me out there, Webby. 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.
