This is a podcast from Rover.
That's right.
The show you know is back with a bang.
Ugh, not like that.
It's the edge breakfast.
Clemming a den.
942.
We're a little bit rusty and dusty from electric abs.
We're just talking to no one earlier.
So that sounds wrong.
Happy Monday.
Monday, 6 a.m.
We're back.
Yeah, Christchurch was absolutely amazing.
Every single time I go there, it confirms I want to live there more and more.
Yeah, it is lovely.
Oh, the lights aren't on.
The tune the lights on.
Yeah, we're getting there.
We're getting there.
Oh, Jesus.
That's like when you're in the club and all of a sudden they go, all right, the DJ stops,
and the lights come on and sun go home.
That's horrid.
That's horrid.
We're the absolute best time crash.
It turned it on.
When we first arrived, everyone was late, it's going to be cold.
It was like overcast and then just hot and sunny for the rest of the time.
Oh, it's beautiful.
I'm so glad I packed like singlets and vests.
When they paid off at the end, you got your arms out.
I was reading Electric Ave now the biggest festival.
for in Australasia.
And done well.
Some of the photos I've seen
look incredible, like aerial shots with the crowd.
Yeah, I couldn't believe that was there.
Amazing.
I mean, 45,000 people on both days.
I mean, if it's up to me, I'm more of like a 30,000 a day, I reckon.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
Yeah, and they still need more pot-lose.
They still need more pot-lose, right?
That's the problem.
I don't know.
What was it like for the men's?
Was it fine?
Look, the men's are always fine.
Are you on it?
We just have, like, troughs.
Like these big, like,
strong troughs and you just stand there and just urinate into them.
Are you serious? Yeah.
45 minute wait for the ladies.
Oh my lord.
You guys need to work out.
Girls were going in four at a time.
I don't know what they were doing in there.
No, I don't know if they were going wheeze.
Okay.
Behave.
There might still be drunk.
They might need help.
A lot of help with each other.
Yeah.
We're just busy. You just do what you can.
Clint, Megan Dan.
Oh my gosh.
Asper's is the playlist for your 6am throwback.
I love her. Not my favourite one of hers, though.
One of her early hits, isn't it?
Yeah, I think it was her breakout, huh?
Ash, London Show caught up with her.
Is that played out? Did that play out Friday?
I believe so, yeah.
Might have missed it being in Christchurch for Electric Air.
Well, there's a few options today to beat the playlist.
First off, Amy Winehouse, on this day in 2008,
started a three-week run at number one with her album Back to Black.
Yeah, Mark Ronson was talking about that over the weekend,
about how he was remembering just working on this little album
and realising when he was writing it with her,
like, oh, he knew when they were writing it was magic.
Like, I guess sometimes you don't know if it's going to be a hit.
And he was like, oh God, we're on to something here.
She was so talented, eh?
Yeah.
Like a lot of artists now have her as an inspiration.
Like Ray, we were talking about the other day.
She's a huge inspiration, Amy Winehouse to her.
And Mark just won outstanding contribution to music at the Brits as well.
Big weekend for him.
Another option in 2003.
Christina Aguilera started a two-week run at number one with her song.
beautiful.
I love this song.
I remember the music video.
And I mean, the boys, I mean,
they're not kicking goals on this day,
back in the day that I'm aware of,
but they were in New Zealand over the weekend.
We missed it because we couldn't be in two places at once.
Good Charlotte.
That spark arena in Auckland are wearing crush it.
Maybe we do have to play a bit of this because...
They weren't at Spark Arena that were at the Auckland Domain.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Alongside Yellow Card, I believe.
That would have been a sick gig.
Yellow Card.
Now, there's a banger too, actually, for a throwback.
I'm sure that people want to reminisce that,
especially since we've been talking about Electric Ave.
Yeah.
Should we do some good Charlotte?
Yeah, Yellow Card if you're like...
A cool venue of the domain.
I have no idea they were doing outdoor gigs like that.
They're looking to do some more there.
I think it's like the start of like they were sort of testing it out.
And apparently, from all accounts, amazing.
Oh, the residents of Newmarket in Pano, I'm sure we'd love that.
Yeah, they'll be complaining.
Oh, they're not likely to complain.
those ones.
Oh yeah,
alongside the Eden Park residents.
The former like some sort of committee.
Yeah, they'll have a Facebook page.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
Time for a little coffee catch up, gosh.
Lucy Goosey.
Lucy.
We were in cross church, obviously, for Electric Ave
and we have kids.
And so whilst we're away,
it's now sort of an unwritten thing
that we just need to make sure we go
purchase a gift for our children.
Yes, yes.
It's actually really nice that we've all kind of come
to this agreement because whenever we have downed
the small little window that we get,
we all kind of focus in.
I'm like, well, right, we've got to get something.
Yeah, we usually get some monster truck for my son George.
Yeah, I went to the op shop, actually, and I got,
I got one of those bargains that just make you, like,
I can't say undies wet, but I was about to anyway.
Oh, no, well, you said that.
So you've just said it, really.
I pissed yourself, you're so excited.
Yeah, it was a board game.
Yeah, past myself, that's what I meant.
Yeah.
It was a board game, but it was sealed still,
and I got it for three bucks, but it was $60 on sale, like,
at Wok or so.
That's not been.
Like someone's gone and salar tape to back up.
No, no, no, fully never opened.
So it was like the factory sticker that was on.
There wasn't just a piece of salad tape.
No, no, no, definitely unopens.
That was a goodie for me in a little dress and yeah, happy days.
Oh, and I got a baby toy for Miller, but from the op shop, but still on the cardboard.
So I imagine no baby is eating it yet.
Oh, God, you got a bargain hunting?
Yeah, I was happy with that.
You found Clint's daughter a little mini skirt?
Oh, no, it was a vest, but.
It was something like that.
Was it good?
Oh no.
So I gave Ty his cheap knockoff that Wickels were selling
that we know as a kid is the Vortex Mega Hower.
Oh, I love him.
More of Vortex Mega Hauer.
This was more like a vortex, just gentle whistle, the cheek version.
But he loved it, and I gave it to Ty.
And Ken went, whoa, what's that?
So she's like, oh.
And now we've gone clothing for my daughter.
And it's a black vest, and I hold up.
And she's like, oh, she's like, cool.
Oh, God.
And I'm like, oh yeah, and then we turn it over, and it's got like a naughty Jasmine on the back.
So, not the flower, Princess Jasmine, but Princess Jasmine with tattoos and like...
She's like sleeve tattoos and black hair.
Black hair and a bandana.
And she's holding like a cigarette in her hand with black fingernails and a little smoke.
And we were like, because the cigarette goes across her hair, we could just vivid the cigarette and it would just blend into her hair and you'd just have a little bit of smoke for it.
I don't know, maybe the genie's coming.
out.
Bad influence on Aladdin
that one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cam looks, turns it over
and she's like, oh.
Oh, God.
And it's Jasmine.
And she goes,
oh, she's got a cigarette.
Which is great.
Great.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Teaching her well.
And she's like, and then I go,
well, try it on.
So she tries it on.
And goes to there and she's like,
oh, and she's doing that thing.
She's trying to be so nice
because she knows I bought it for her.
And chose it though.
I know.
Well, I pointed it out.
Yeah, and I was like,
Oh, I think this is great.
So I was right on board with Meg.
And then I just realized my daughter's now at that stage where it's just too hard.
She keeps changing her mind too much.
And she sits down and she goes, thank you, Dad.
And she sits down and she takes it off.
And I go, why are you taking off?
She goes, it doesn't go with the singler.
And I go, okay.
And then my wife can see my daughter's face.
And my wife starts laughing.
And she looks at me shakes her head.
And I was like, oh, we did a mic.
We did bad.
We did bad.
I did the same with Daisy's dress.
I showed her dress, I got a little 12, I got, look at this.
She goes, what is it?
I said, it was obviously your dress.
You're not an idiot.
Duh.
I was like, and I said, wouldn't try it on?
No, thank you.
Brilliant.
Oh, you guys nailed it.
No, but then, as luck would have it,
Ty saw him, what's that?
Chuck the on.
Classic.
He was like, yo, he loves a cigarette.
He didn't want me to vivid it out.
He wants to keep it.
Oh, Ty gets two presents this time.
Smoking's in his future, clearly.
Oh, my God.
I'm so pleased at least one.
on the kids like that.
Yeah, so it was all good.
We nailed two gifts for Thai and zero for camp.
And they wear that to school with a person smoking on the back?
Well, he wanted to wear it to school this morning
and my wife was like, no, it's not a school vest.
No.
That's when you go around to Auntie Meg's house.
Yeah, Auntie Meg's house.
It's accepted there at the mantles.
We said so vivid out a little cigarette, but she looked kind of cool.
I know, we said we were going to vivid out,
and Ty was like, no, no, I like the cigarette.
He was the one that wanted to get, what did he want to get,
one to get tattooed on his abs?
It was something he wanted to get tattooed on his abs.
She adds.
Yeah, and his child's stomach.
Just like his dad.
Never did he want to get abs tattooed on.
Possibly. I don't know.
I mean, that would be just like dad, I imagine.
I mean, not a bad idea.
Yeah.
Not a nine.
Clint's done that before and Dancing with the Stars, isn't he?
Ah, there was just contour.
That was contours.
Some very clever contouring.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Lesh go!
Glendell with Meg.
Clint got to meet a lot of his fans over the weekend.
Do wonder how they feel afterwards if it was one of those moments.
if it was when those moments of like,
I should have just left it.
What do you mean a lot of his fans?
How many fans do you think actually mean?
Six.
Six?
Are you all six of his fans?
Seven?
Seven?
No, your mum wasn't there.
No.
Oh, yuck.
I think you just lost a couple of them
for that six, seven gag.
A 2025 gag.
We're down to four.
No, we used to say six or seven
long before six seven was a thing.
Yeah, but then why'd you do that scales hand movement?
I did not.
Six seven.
Oh, yucky, yucky, yucky, yucky.
Well, Christian Bay,
Phil thinks that you shouldn't really ever meet your heroes
because they'll never live up to what you think they're going to be like.
I'm never cool.
You know, not in those instances.
I don't want to meet people that I see in films.
I don't want to meet my heroes.
I see it in people's eyes
when they've watched my movies and loved them
and then they meet me and I see their eyes
that terrible disappointment about who I really am.
And it's true.
What a disappointment.
That's me and my best in the movie.
Never meet me and I never want to meet my heroes either
because they're heroic in what they do,
but, you know, give them a break.
Nobody can be a hero all the time.
That's actually not a bad shout
because if you see, say, Harry Stiles performing on stage
or...
That's at his absolute best performance,
putting, like, the bright lights on
and doing it and doing what he needs to do.
He's never going to be at that level or surpassed that level of experience.
I disagree.
I think musicians, I think they do.
I think actors, he's right about actors.
Because he's not Batman.
People are expecting Batman, or at least Bruce Wang.
Yes.
But he's playing a character.
Whereas I think if you meet Harry Stiles,
he's more or less what he is on stage.
You know, he's a good singer, he's got the talent,
he's got the dancing, now he's a dancer as well.
I would say the same.
I'd say people that have to act for their jobs
and anyway, then maybe they're not the ones to meet
because you aren't going to meet Jennifer Lawrence
when she's at her funniest because she's read a comedy script
that somebody else's written for her.
Yeah, she's playing a character.
Yeah, yeah, and she's bloody good at it.
And if they're a good actor-actress,
then, yeah, that would mean that they're not themselves.
Producer-car?
Over the weekend, you three were at Electric Cab
and there was a photo wall there with photo times
for people to come up and have photos and meet you guys.
How do you think they found meeting you guys?
I think they were probably a little bit disappointed at Clint,
but Meg and I were just, you know.
Yeah, I think maybe pleasantly surprised with me and death.
The only person that I told to Eiff off and flipped the bird to was Lisa.
But she deserved it.
She was sassing me out.
No, she kept coming back and forward
And we sort of really grew like a very quick close bond
With Lisa and we'd seen her before
We know Lisa
It's very interesting how you can go from
Not really knowing someone
To being so close with them
That you know you can swear it, they'll flip them the bird
And you know they're not going to catch any like
Untoward feels that you didn't actually mean
One last feeling on this is that I think it's quite nice
With people that listen to us
They always say it feels like I really know you
But it must be weird because you don't know me
but I feel like I know you.
I find that much easier to make friends with
because I know you already,
I think I'm funny, you're cool.
So it means we've got the same sense of humour.
You already know my morals
and if you think that we would get along
then you're probably right.
Yeah, right.
You know what I'm very much easier.
Yeah, but I feel like we've skipped a million steps
because I'm like, well, if you accept me for all the things,
the only fans you've been listening for years,
okay, like I think, you know, we pass as the vibe check.
I just want to apologise to the four people
that asked me to do a live hit the spot.
Oh yes, that was no good.
And electric have and I said absolutely not.
And how logistically am I going to do that?
And they went, I don't know.
And then I just walked off.
You literally could just like get Spotify out and you start playing.
It's a bit of it upheaval though, isn't it?
Especially when there's loud music playing.
Anyway.
It's like getting Tom Holland to do some Spider-Man tricks.
Yeah, exactly.
And he's like, well, I'm not in my Spider-Man uniform though.
Shoot some webs out of your wrists, Tom.
Say, mate, we can't be doing that, Dan, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Exactly.
No.
Hey, give us a call at 0800.
We want to play a first caller of the day.
Okay, cool.
Chat with any, especially if you were someone that we managed to catch up with the electricab and stuff.
Actually, someone wanted a shout out.
They said Sanjay keeps getting the shout out.
Abby!
Was Abby?
Oh, you don't remember her name.
Oh, man.
I met like a thousand people.
Oh, Clint.
Not six, seven.
Abby, she's out running.
She'll be running right now, Abby, keep it going.
I think it's Abby's brother Ben too.
Do you guys remember that?
Definitely.
Her brother Ben?
Oh, and we signed, yeah, and we signed the...
Yeah, you guys don't know anything.
She was wearing our T-shirt when she came in, and I was like,
Whoa.
Don't worry, Abby, I got you.
Proper mega fan.
Dan thought her name was Amber.
You sure it's Abby?
No, I did not.
Just Clint.
Oh, Megan.
Sorry.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm so awful.
It's Amber.
Look, I just remember with another name just to see, and she's already going, oh, was it Amber?
So she's not 100% sure.
Oh, it could be Amber now.
Texas.
The Clint Meg and Dan podcast.
All week, the Ash London show are going to reveal the perfect pairing at the beginning of their show at 3 o'clock.
When you hear those two artists, so could be, for example, Olivia Dean, Harry Stiles playing back to back.
Ash will let you know.
First Caller wins $250
cash and a Jimbo's
prize pack. Mix up your
Pets Bowl with Jimbo's, the perfect balance
of enjoyment and nutrition.
Yeah, Nala's had Jimbo's for many years.
Yeah, your dog, she's very lucky.
First Call of the Day! First Call of the Day!
First Call of the Day today is Charlotte.
Morning, Charlotte.
Good morning, dear. Good morning.
Big weekend for Charlotte this weekend. She's turning 40.
Oh, Charlotte, congratulations. Happy birthday.
Thank you so much.
How does it feel?
You would know, Clayton.
Yeah, but I mean, like, you know, some people really look forward to it,
and you got your shit together a bit more at 40 and things,
and then other people were, like, petrified of it.
Pretty much.
You know, I thought I heard all these bad things happen after 40,
but first game of social netball, I hurt my ankle, and now I'm out.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
Now, Charlotte, you live in Gore.
I do.
What's what's Gore like this morning?
We've been to Gore, haven't we, for something?
What did we do to go down to do?
gore for. We went to
It's pretty cold. I think it's about a two or
three. Yeah, two or three, that is
chilly. Oh, you're working at the wind farm?
I do, so it might be minus
two by the time I get up the hill.
And one more question for you, Charlotte.
I hear that you once won a beer
drinking competition. What is that entail?
Like, what is that? I think beer
drinking me. But is it the most
drinking of a beer or the fastest drinking of a
beer? Speed or volume?
It was speed, so it was
just a random entry. We walked past
people
signing up and they go
oh you should sign up
and all five wins
and I signed up
and got there
and they handed me
this bed
I go now what
they go now
I need to down it
so that you can win
and I go oh okay
and I did
that sounds like the easiest
competition ever
so you're down like a pint
yes
and how quick did you get it down
do you remember
I don't know
but I remember
standing there
looking at the other people
going now what
and I was finished
and they were still selling
what does the winner get
For sculling a pint faster than anyone else.
Another point.
Brilliant.
I love that.
That's what you won.
It wasn't even any cash prize or anything.
That sounds great.
That sounds fun.
I need to go to Gore.
Okay.
Stay safe on the wind farm this morning, Charlotte.
What do you do on the wind farm?
Are you fixing the turbines or are you doing like admin work?
I'm the site atman and I look after the boys.
It just feels like I've got more children.
Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, I bet that's probably the hardest job on site, I'd imagine.
Yeah.
I bet they're a nightmare.
Oh, they're a great bunch.
I love them all too bad.
Oh, good.
Well, we're going to give you a voucher to go spend in store at Z.
Maybe you could do a bit of a morning tea shout for the boys or just keep it all for yourself.
You do you.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome, Charlotte.
She's lovely.
Need a fresh and fast lunch.
You can grab Z's new chicken protein bowl for only 890, by the way.
New Clint Meg and Dan.
Stinky bitch.
Time to get naughty at 640.
Last year at Electric Avenue,
Obviously we were there this weekend again.
Our second year in a row is a show down at Electric Avenue.
The biggest festival in Australasia.
Yeah, which is incredible.
But Clint and I shared a room like we did last year,
which is annoying because Carl's in the studio right now.
Our producer, our executive producer.
Carl, did you share room with anyone or you're in your own room?
No, no, executive producer, not an executive announcer.
So I think that's sort of just how it goes down really.
Right, so you had your own room.
Had my own room.
Meg, did you have your own room?
I have my own room.
Brilliant.
I demand it.
Why are Clint and I sharing a room?
Why do I have to share with this stinky man?
Because what happened over the weekend is I had a chance to pay him back from last year.
We've spoken about it on the show me.
He came home at about 1 a.m. one morning last year.
Fided right in your face.
Fluffed in my face.
Right in my face.
Okay, while I was asleep.
And then if you heard on Friday morning, he actually farted about 17 times to wake your office as an alarm.
And you were over it.
And on Saturday night, Dan and I left Electric Ave early,
when I got some ramen together, met some listeners, Kassar and Jackson, hello.
And decided to plan your revenge.
I was obviously in.
And the thing is, when you're sharing with someone,
there's an air of decorum that's needed.
You know, you respect the other person.
Clint doesn't do that.
He just lets rip, okay?
So we decided, Meg and I,
Clint has his beloved tri-pillow,
which is like a triangular-shaped pillow.
He couldn't sleep, he can't sleep without it.
He tries.
So we went home before Clint had finished up at the festival.
Clearly he was still doing.
This is interesting where you're going to go with this
because he was saying how disgusting I am.
And then what you're about to hear is what Dan did.
So, you get, it's...
Yeah, careful.
Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
And I think Dan's about to throw a large one from his glass house.
Yes, I did.
I retaliated.
And what I did, and Meg was privy to this as well.
In fact, she was in some of the photos.
we took a series of quite tasteful shots.
Quite art.
They were disgusting.
They were quite arty nude shots with your tri-pillow.
I had it in places covering my extremities.
Yeah, we just used it as a prop in a nude shoot.
You went bare ass and dragged your balloon dot across my pillow.
That's not what we did.
Yes, we did a very artistic photo shoot.
His gooch and his chocolate starfish
All over a pillow that I put on my face.
It was a prop, and a couple of times he used it as a horse, as a bike.
Yeah, he rode it bareback.
Right, and then, you know, we used it in the bathroom.
Yeah, and Dan was holding it over the toilet.
You had the toilet brush with it.
Like, honestly, he both read it when we used it self-timer.
That was a hard one to do.
That was a hard one.
And I will stress, I can't show the photos.
They'll never see the light of day.
No.
But they were tasteful, artsy shots.
Beautiful shots.
And it fits a passion.
in moments.
I had my top off
and was,
it used it as a bra at one point.
We showed you the photos, Clint.
You had a laugh, didn't you?
You had a laugh.
You had a laugh.
Do you know what I think?
Was the pillow case
on the pillow the whole time?
Oh, gorgeous.
Because I asked my wife last night
how I can wash the pillows
because you can't.
And I was like, what do you mean?
I was like, I have to wash it.
In fact, we should get a photo
up on, what's the Instagram page?
Overthinkers.
No.
And just put it up there.
Actually, you know what I could do?
Because I'm trying to work out
what the punishment is
Dan because I don't think my crime last year warrants the punishment that my pillow got that I then
put on my face.
So now all the ball's back of my court to punish Dan again to even it.
And I think what it is is me paying you Meg for one of the photos and then I'm going to
put it up online.
Not of you Megan, just of Dan.
You couldn't pay me enough.
You couldn't pay me.
Everyone's got a price.
I've got no price to put these photos online.
$10,000.
Jesus.
Well, I will go, okay, give me the money.
She needs the money and I'll have papaly.
do that.
No, you don't have anything to do it.
It's just Meg's money.
It's her photo of her phone.
Sorry, Dan, you're in the bin.
I'm taking the 10K.
And you know what?
You're welcome to it.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Cool story out in New Zealand.
A couple of entrepreneurs, I suppose, they are now.
Michael and Tom have created a
men's skincare brand?
Yeah, skincare and deodorant.
Yeah, we usually call it like personal care or grooming,
but I think because like men's has been so underserved for ages.
There's actually no word to describe it, right?
It's pretty hard, yeah.
So where did this come from with you and your mate Tom?
I hear that you started it in your garage, which I find really inspiring.
So Tom and I met at law school down in Christchurch.
So then we kind of watched too much suits like Mike Ross, I'm respected.
We're like, we're not, A, that smart or two that good looking.
So we're like, okay, we need a pivot here.
What are we going to do?
At uni, Tom's girlfriend got him using skincare because she's like, you know,
guys need to take better care of himself.
Tom puts it on and goes, holy smokes.
Like, that feels good.
But he's in a flat of seven dudes.
He's like, I can't use this in front of guys.
Like, it's just not something we use all we do.
So he had this secret skincare routine for years.
How much time went into the name?
Obviously, you were two dudes and you've created the skincare.
But when I'm rubbing two dudes on my face,
it brings up certain connotations that I feel like you guys knew about.
It can't have been missed.
You must have realised at some point what you're doing.
I think it's now that we're pretty deep.
And now we're getting all the social media comments where that one just pops up.
It's just like we made the name.
Yeah, there's two dudes that.
started this business, there's Tom and Mike, but actually there's like a very, like, more
serious men's health message to it.
Of course.
Using our products, you're helping out yourself, that's the first dude.
But actually through like our men's health charities, we're like, you know, we just gave
150 grand to Movember.
Wow.
You're helping other dudes out there, and that's the other dude.
So there's two dudes.
There's you and the guy that you're helping.
Yeah, I like that.
There's a double entendre.
Have you used, have you had two dudes on your face?
I'm like, because, mate, I would love you to open that up and try it.
You want to see two dudes.
Oh, my thing.
right now.
Yeah, I want to see.
I want to see your body wash
so I can rub two dudes on my body.
You fast forward five years
and you're in like, you know,
chemist warehouse, new worlds,
like Woolworths, you're in like different countries.
You've got like employees.
It's a wild journey.
Well, hey, you heard it here first, lads.
Get out there and rub two dudes
all over your face, ASAP.
It's in all your, I guess it's all in all the supermarkets,
chemis warehouse.
And it's just epic to see you guys
going out on a limb, doing something
and a Kiwi company just doing so well, Mike.
So long may continue, mate.
I appreciate that. Thanks for having me on it.
Clint, Megan Dan.
The Edge.
The Edge is easy money.
Here's your shot at $10,000.
Good morning.
You're just being on 7 o'clock.
Monday. Here we go again.
Easy Money.
A letter between E and Z.
You can give us 10 answers in 30 seconds.
$10,000 is yours.
The amount of people that came up to us at Electric Aver weekend going,
How do I win it?
Give us something. Give me something.
It was interesting.
A lot of people brought up the game and said,
I play it all the time.
And I'm like, well, have you call.
like a nut.
And I met a few and she was like, yeah, I got like three out of ten.
She was the one that got a celebrity song with R and she went with Rachel Aniston.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is...
Alyssa, I think her name was.
Yeah.
There's a lot of people calling this morning, so it's a popular game.
Oh, guess what?
Oh, stranger.
First time call it, Christy.
Let's hope it's, I guess, a lucky first time call for you, Christy.
Yay, thank you.
Now, we just came from Christchurch, and is it true that it's like torrential thunderstorms this
morning?
Yeah, like last night was thunder, thunder and it has not stopped raining for about
that.
I'm gutted.
I would have loved that to sleep in, too.
But that's perfect timing, though, because it would stay nice for the weekend.
No, it's not if you're the guys packing down the stadiums today.
Oh, everything's wet.
You know, when you've got to pack down a tent in the rain?
They may be already did it yesterday.
Not a chance.
They would have.
They're very efficient.
They are.
All right, well, let's get into it.
You've got 30 seconds to be $10,000 richer.
Your letter today is?
Yes.
Right, yes.
For success, let's see if you can get it done.
You can pass, Christy.
If we've got time, we'll come back, but no repeated answers.
Good luck.
Let's go.
Come on.
Thank you.
Give me something you'd see in the shower.
A fast food chain.
Subway.
A place in New Zealand.
South one.
Something you find in the garage.
scissors.
A retailer.
Um, quick, quick, quick.
Oh, fuck.
Excuse me.
A type of fabric.
A Simpsons character.
Time.
Sapphora.
What else did you have for S-Meg?
Sephora, Skechers, Specksaver, Strandbags.
I love support, too.
Not the best showing there, Christy, but I think you summed it up in one word pretty well before, so we'll leave it there.
Oh, sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Don't be sorry.
It happens.
It happens.
I did one this morning, too.
I think anyone gets really super offended by someone accidentally throwing out that in a time of frustration.
It's like, come on, man.
She was into it.
She was in the moment.
Yeah, back again at 8 o'clock then.
Christy couldn't have for 10 grand.
Maybe you can.
Back again in an hour's time.
Me and Ash from the Ash Linden Show managed to have a little sit-down chat with Hillary Duff on Thursday.
So I've got some of the highlights from chatting to her about a new album and how she's gotten very honest with her latest tracks about her.
husband.
Oh, I wonder if she'd speak on that.
Are the rum is true about the things that went wrong in the interview as well?
Ah, yeah.
Not our best.
Joing Dan, not our best.
Clint Megan Dan.
Hillary Duff.
Is coming to New Zealand.
We'd love to get you there as well.
Would they fly away if you're outside of the country, one-night's accommodation in
Auckland, and then you and a mate at her Sparkarena gig, October 20th, with the
Hillary Duff Bluff.
You just have to give us call right now, 0800.
And we get three questions about.
your story and if we guess
incorrectly that it's either true or false
you're in the very, very tiny
tiny drawer that will be announced on Friday
afternoon. So you don't have a story, just make something up
really, that's what you're saying. Yeah, if you're a good liar.
Yeah, you're a good liar. You can bluff it.
I got to chat to Hillary Duff on
Thursday with Ash London as well.
We did a little joint interviewer just the three
gals, just three besties hanging
out basically because we're all
around the same age because I'm much younger,
much, much younger than both of them
by about maybe three years. But
No, it was really nice to hang on.
It felt like it was one of those celebrities that you think afterwards, which is so lame,
but you want, like, you check your Instagram follows just in case.
Oh, yeah.
Did you do that?
Did you check?
No, I did it.
I didn't.
But I'm saying I wouldn't be surprised.
You didn't get a notification.
I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was an email from her manager going now who was that girl.
She's asked to be best friends with you, Me.
You want to catch up when she's in New Zealand?
I imagine.
Let's hope.
But it was really good to talk to Hillary
and to realize that even though
Hillary is a superstar,
she still goes through
the same motherhood struggles
that, you know,
normies like me and Ash go through.
I recently had a baby.
I had a, I have a seven months old.
It's my second child.
And I know the roommates phase.
How did you find the courage
to be so honest with your lyrics
and talk about the things
that we're all feeling as women in our 30s?
Oh my God.
Well, one,
you deserve a medal.
I know the time frame you're in is so hard.
My God.
It's a hamster wheel.
I love my baby.
I love my family.
But like, where am I?
And is this enough?
Like, it's just all so like mixture of oil and water for a little bit of time.
You know it's like not forever.
So I think that was something that getting to this age and having my fourth kid, I was like,
I know what this looks like.
I know what's happening here.
And I can speak on it and not be like, this is my reality.
this is just a snapshot of it.
And it was like really healing to actually,
and it was a really like healing experience to do it with him
and be very vulnerable and be very honest.
And just like there was no reason for me to make a record
if I wasn't going to like have my heart open and exposed, you know?
So I'm so glad that it's like striking you.
Yeah, there were two things that I just want to bring about there
is that I already feel it with my second child of how different it is
once you realize like, oh, I'm going to be in the trenches for a bit.
but I know I'll eventually come out.
It actually took me a year and a half
to feel somewhat normal
after Daisy my first child
and then about three years
to really like be able to find myself again.
So I'm at seven months at the moment
and even though I'm gagging
to feel like myself again
and like desperate to have that energy back
and to have the time on myself,
I just know this is you're just the waiting period
and so obviously she knows that at four years
and she worked on the album with her husband.
So all the songs that you hear about him,
he helped write.
Really even the one that says that he's...
That's about the room.
Not putting out anymore.
Yeah, we did go on to ask that.
It might be the full interview with Ash on the Ash London show this afternoon
if you want to hear her answer to that question.
But Ash asked her about how she got to the point of being so open.
How did you get to a point in your life where you're like,
yeah, I'm going to talk about some really explicit shit
because I am a woman in my 30s and yeah, this is a thing,
knowing that people were going to be like,
reading into it.
Of course.
It's this combination of like, one, I care a ton.
I care for the people.
that I know want to hear from me.
And the other stuff, I don't care.
Can it ruin my day a little bit?
Sure, but those aren't the real ones.
Those are the people that need headlines and need clicks.
And, you know, if you're not growing with me, fine, stay there.
Like, that's totally cool.
If you don't want to hear what's coming out of my mouth as too, like,
vulnerable for you or to adult or whatever it may be, like, I love you,
but like, don't listen, you know?
And, and I am almost 40 years old.
I'm 38 years old.
years old. I'm in the thick of motherhood. I'm still like finding who I am and weirdly kind of know who I am more than ever at this stage. It's bumpy and it's complicated and it's also like the shit and I'm having a great time. I wanted to to sing about all of those things. I wanted to comment on my life in a way that everybody else feels the need to comment on my life, you know? So it was just I felt ready. I felt excited. I felt moved to do something like this. And.
And so I do it with my safest person on the planet Earth, you know,
who also happens to be wildly freaking talented
and, like, what a magic trick I got to, you know,
mooch off, honestly.
If you want to hear the whole interview, it's going to be,
I'm guessing with the Ashlanders show this afternoon,
you can hear more of Hillary there.
And I think we've got more to share on the interview tomorrow.
It is the it from us.
Wow.
There was something that happened during the interview,
which has made its way to Australia,
like Australian radio shows are talking about what Meg said to Hillary Duff,
behind the scenes where Meg didn't know her mic was still on,
so it'll be fun once we grab that audio.
In the meantime, are you a good liar?
We will hit you with three questions about your outrageous story.
It could be completely made up or completely true,
but if we can't work out which,
you're in the tiny drawer to catch Hillary Duff.
Weather, mates, flights and a com, all included,
giving you the chance to get into the tiny, tiny drawer.
There will be announced on Friday for a flyaway trip to catch Hillary Duff,
October 20th.
One accommodation in Auckland and I'll see you out with flights or travel depending on where you are in the country.
How good.
What you have to do is bluff your way to Hillary Duff.
Either you have a really good story.
You can just tell the truth and not freak out about it or make up something and we get one question each, three questions,
to try and get more information out of you and we call your bluff.
I think the three of us are really good at picking out some curly-whirleys, aren't we?
I think so.
If we're wrong, you're in the drawer.
If we guess correct, then get out of here, man.
All right, get out of here, man.
Morning, Marina.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Good.
Now, you're going to tell us a little quick story.
We're going to see if it's true or false.
Okay, so my boyfriend drunk from a glassy thought was juice,
but I'd actually urinated in it.
Right, that's, okay.
Brilliant.
Now, guys, remember, we only get three questions from here.
So don't ask anything, otherwise that will be a waste.
Did you say that, sorry, this is not a question, but I just misheard.
Did you say you had urinated in it?
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
Dad's questions over.
You could have asked Meg and I, and we would have said yes, that's what she said.
Here's my actual question.
Why had you urinated in the glass?
Because I didn't want to go to the toilet upstairs.
Oh, okay, upstairs.
I'm going to say,
it's camping or something.
Okay, okay, okay.
What season was it?
Oh, meeg?
Oh, my God.
Really?
What season?
Really?
Yes.
Oh, you think you'd remember something?
I'm not sure.
You don't really?
Because I would think if you didn't want to go upstairs,
it must have been cold, winter.
Why else?
I think you just getting up and after the week.
There's no way I'd panic up.
I can't remember the season.
One thing you would remember was, what was this reality?
How did he react when he realised it wasn't juice?
Good question.
Thanks, Dan.
He was not very impressed.
You kidding me?
Well, yeah, that's not a good question.
Wait, no, but he obviously was impressed, but what did he say?
What did he do?
Um, he was not very happy with me.
You sort of said that by saying he's not impressed.
Did he give you the silent, do you know?
No, no, Clint.
That's a little question.
She hasn't answered my question.
She has.
He wasn't impressed.
Yeah, that's all.
Isn't that this one question?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Marine, you're going to answer any more questions.
He actually, those two boys actually got to reach.
How he reacted is not, he wasn't impressed.
That's not his reaction.
His reaction is what he said, what he did.
That's incorrect.
She's summed up his reaction with...
Here's the thing, Clint.
I think it's a lie.
I think that she's not enough information.
She doesn't want any more questions because she's floundering.
I think she's a very, very good person at making us feel like it's a lie,
and I think it is a true story, but she's doing a lot of arms and arms and arms.
Why would you do that?
Why would you panic up?
Yeah, she said no more.
She has more question because she's,
we've got her against the ropes.
She's under the microscope.
Okay, I'll go with you guys, but I think she knows what she's doing,
and I think she's a smart woman,
and she's making it sound like she's lying.
Smart woman don't pee in glasses.
No.
All right, so you're saying it's a lie?
Yeah, I've been true words, said, Clinton.
Marina, is that story true or false?
It's true.
Yeah.
Smart lady.
That's disgusting.
but yeah okay
smart lady
it's disgusting
eh
yeah oh no it's disgusting
if it wins you
I couldn't go to the bathroom
why
now we can ask
because
I was saying it
my boyfriends
and his ex-wife
hated me
and she was upstairs
so that's why I couldn't go out there
so many questions
the ex-wife's upstairs
does the ex-wife know
you're downstairs
and we're downstairs
in this mezzanine floor thing
and she yeah she hated me
coming to stay or anything so I'd have to
find him in the window. I feel like
what a ballbuster.
She doesn't want to ex-husband
and getting fun with his new girlfriend down there.
I feel like the new partner, your partner
should have absolutely figured out
a way for you to go to the bathroom downstairs
and if I see some yellow juice
in a car pot I'd go...
Shame on him, actually. I'm glad he drank the person.
Yeah, I agree. He deserved that.
All right, Marina, you're in the drawer to go and see how Lurie Duff
with flights and accommodation if you need them.
so very, very small draw
I imagine you to play the very good game
well done.
A maximum number of 10 people
if everyone can full us
and the Ash London show
the winner announced on Friday
you can get all the Hilary Duff ticketing
and event details
at the edge.rover.m.z
We got there, man.
Clint Meg and Dan.
God, she was good.
I started filming a whole lot of stuff
to send to my daughter
who was very disappointed
Live Nation made an R-18 event.
But this first song
Cash was holding like a little girl's head
I mean it was obviously like a doll's head
but it looked very right like.
It was her own, it was a, like,
manicure of her own self.
A very younger version, I thought.
Oh, really?
We were down at Electric Avenue over the weekend.
How many people were there?
50,000 people?
45,000, which is the biggest festival in Australasia.
Each day, so it was 90,000 across the weekend.
Yeah, what I loved about Cassius' performances,
I'm a mega fan, super fan, happy for many years,
and I watched a lot of people get converted
to becoming a Cassius superfan after this.
She was amazing.
anything.
Oh.
You forget when you're actually singing in the back of a video
how loud your voice is compared to...
You only figure that out usually when you've uploaded it to Instagram.
You're like, Jesus Christ, you need to quiet down there.
Producer Carl as well.
45,000 people at a cashier gig
and you started a chart that everyone finished.
Yeah, I...
Well, because she had this...
She was talking about, you know, why she's here
and what she's doing and all this
and started talking about it was her birthday.
she turned 38.
So I just started singing a happy birthday.
I said, we should sing happy birthday?
I was like, no man, it won't work.
I tried to talk him out of it.
And then when he went, I was like, oh, God, I'll go with him.
And...
A hundred percent proof.
I was next to him.
It was dead silent.
And Carl started singing at the top of his voice.
Happy birthday and the crowd will join.
What an influencer.
I'm taking it because usually I'm just the guy in a room full of 20 people doing the hip-hips
so everyone else could go.
So doing, and no one does that.
So doing this for 45,000, I'm stoked.
I tried to start the and many more.
But no one did that.
No one did that one.
Annoy.
Dom Dola really put a Kiwi spin on his performances.
I was sitting on the 14-hour flight to get here, and I thought,
what could I make these guys that only they would appreciate,
that only I could play here and nowhere else on the planet?
I'll tell you what this one is.
This was crazy in the crowd
I was with producer Sam
who's on the Ashlandon show
and I think she passed away for a few seconds
Yes we lost her
I lost her I lost her
She was on the ground
I've never
It was she was gone
I've never been to like a hill song
Or something like that
You know like a religious sing along
But I'd imagine it'd be something
That's similar to this
The feeling of like this religious experience
45,000 people singing along
for that song
I'm gonna check on Sam
Yeah
She truly, nearly had a hard task.
Was she at the airport yesterday?
Yeah, she'd make it.
Probably's a physio with the amount of times she dropped it down into the splits.
You'd be like, where's Sam?
And you'd be like, have you checked down below?
Oh, there she is.
You know, it's funny as well.
We lost producer Carl.
I was with Sam the whole time, basically.
I lost Kalanta lost Dan.
And I was with Sam.
And then she kept going, I need to find Carl.
And she'd turn around and Doblo will play another, so she was like,
nah.
There's just no producer Carl.
She was looking for you.
I was looking for myself to be, honest.
I was just, I was trying to start another happy bird.
And a real highlight for me, and maybe not too many others,
but a cute little bee landed on Carl's hat on the first night.
And everyone, including me, was like, oh, you've got a bee on you.
And he's been there for two hours.
And he went with us to Splittians, basement jacks, caught some Becky Hill.
And then like four hours in, someone went, oh man, you've got a bee on you,
reached over and flicked it off his hat.
It was poor little bee.
Because he was just trying to have a rest and he was still alive.
and I think he just rested on my hat
in about two, three hours he was just sitting there.
He was just a huge pendulum fan.
He loved the job.
Just wanted to get a free ride to pendulum.
Biggs got a schedule update.
And what's been going on over the weekend?
But if you did come up and say hi, I appreciate you.
Appreciate that you love the show and you listen as much as you do.
Thank you very much.
I don't think I've ever taken as many photos as I did on the weekend.
No.
So many photos.
Any ideas on the number?
Because my husband asked me how many and I couldn't...
I would say it would be in the thousands.
I definitely think it would have been
Yeah, and that's probably not an exaggeration either.
Oh, no.
100.
No way.
Absolutely not, really.
Yeah.
10 times that, you're closer.
Especially with the way girls take photos.
One, two, three, four, five, six, mate, nine.
Here you go, you know, 16, yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh.
It's the game down with Meg.
It was the Brits over the weekend.
Like a really fun one.
Jake Whitehall, who we have interviewed in the past.
He is a comedian.
Very, very funny.
An actor, actually.
he hosted it and did a fantastic job.
He did some very funny skits that you can see online.
He's getting all the big hosting gigs in Britain at the moment, isn't he?
Yes, yeah, yeah.
I know he did the Formula One launch last year,
and he does a lot of the Britta Awards, a lot of those ones,
so he's very successful.
He's making his mortgage payments?
Yeah, definitely.
I really like him.
It was Olivia Dean's night of the night, I reckon.
She won Pop Act album of the year.
She's like the it girl at the moment.
God.
Thank you
I was there 10 years ago
I think she mentioned the audience
I don't know if I ever really thought
I'd get one but I don't know
Pop music is kind of confusing
I don't really know what it means but I think
it's about togetherness and making people feel good
and joy so
making people feel good and looking after each other
thank you
she must have known she was a show enough
she got the Grammy
she'd be like I'm going to get a bread award
Maybe.
You know what I mean?
Well, at least you'd be confident.
Breakthrough artists of the year went to Lowell Young.
Everybody was talking about Robbie Williams' tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
I mean, maybe listening to the audio,
it just was really passionate of him doing it.
Really like seeing these tributes to Aussie.
There's a lot of footage of Robbie Williams and Harry Stiles
having a good, like, deep and meaningful chat.
I'd love to hear those.
I'd love to know what they were talking about.
They were like in a corner, like chatting and they were like real deep in conversation.
I want to know what it's about.
I feel there's been a lot of chat as well about the Osbourne girls
and they went up to receive a reward on behalf of their husband and father?
Yeah, poor Kelly, man.
She has openly, you know, actually she just sort of put on her story this one.
I'm going to see if I can find it again because, yes, if you've seen her, she looks very, very, very, very thin.
People say she looks older than her mum now.
It looks very thin.
She is not looking very well, but she wrote on her story this morning's day,
there's a special kind of cruelty and harming someone who is clearly going through something.
Kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip
and turning your back when they need support and love most.
None of it proves strength
It only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character
I'm currently going through the hardest time in my life
I should not even have to defend myself
But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanised in such a way
Yeah, sad
Which again shows how much she's obviously seeing and reading
Yeah, she sees it all.
They don't watch, they're not going online
But a lot of them do
Of course they do
Her dad just died, she's obviously clearly going through something mentally and physically
And everyone's like, yuck
Like it's so, oh what are we like, what are we like?
But both Sharon and her don't look well.
No, they don't look like they're going through.
Do we expect them to be well?
They're a very close family, you know?
Yeah, and I guess normal people probably look and go, wow,
they're looking different or she's looking and well.
We don't then jump online and put a boot at.
I mean, yeah, she's saying she needs help and compassion.
She knows she's unwell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Harry Stiles is well and truly back if you want to see
what I thought was the performance of the night text, Harry,
to 3, 3, 4 of 3 of him performing this song,
Aperture, we're going to get the album, I think, this week.
March 6 will do that.
Yeah, 4 days.
Friday.
Friday, New Music Friday.
Ironic performance.
Like, if you didn't like the song before,
which I was sort of a bit iffy about it.
Yeah.
Watch this performance, it sells it to you.
He's such a talented man.
Meg will probably go through the whole album.
You could do your picks for New Music Friday.
I'd love that.
Yeah.
Yeah, if it comes out overnight for us,
otherwise it will be an afternoon release sometimes.
Ah, that's happened sometimes.
Hate it when that happens.
We'll see.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, oh my gosh.
Hopefully you're doing all right.
You didn't have too big of a weekend
that you are in Struggle Street today.
And if you did and you get headache,
or migraines, a doctor has come out and said that a French fries and Coke is the perfect hangover
slash headache cure. There's actually three reasons. For one, it's going to give you a dopamine
hit that's going to make anyone feel better after anything. Two, a large Coke is going to have
85 milligrams of caffeine. And that is more caffeine than a leading medication for migraines,
excels during migraine. And if you didn't know, yes, caffeine can be a relief for a headache,
especially a migraine. And three, those French fries are going to have a ton of salt, which is going to
hydrate you just like an electro-tabbit would.
I don't believe that at all.
Okay.
There's a doctor, Meg.
You're not a doctor?
Just Mac is for four then.
Meg's out.
Yeah, I don't believe that at all.
Yeah, she'll want them when it gets here.
Is this one of the worst things or the best things to happen to you when you're at a festival?
Fresh back off, Electric Haven Crush Church over the weekend.
Hell of a gig.
Biggest festival in Australasia.
It's Clint Meg and Dan's.
Shout out to my head!
It's time to bring this back, because we met a lot.
of people over the weekend, didn't we, Meg?
Meg and I were mincing around together
quite a bit. Yeah, we lost Clint
most of the time. Yeah, he was in the Heineken
Lounge for a lot of it. So, yeah,
we minced around quite a bit
on the Friday night and the Saturday.
And we met a particular lady, who
I love, I can't remember her name.
And it's probably best we don't say her name
anyway, because she had just broken up with her boyfriend
at Electric Avenue, which I think
is probably a common occurrence to happen at a music
festival or a concert, you know, you're drunk,
if things happen, you say stuff, you're a
Is it a real breakup or is it one of those kind of ones are like, oh, we're done for tonight and then you get back together the next day.
I mean, glass half empty, glass half full, like being broken up with at a festival.
I think, mate, the options now, I mean, you don't take sand to a beach, do you?
No.
And this is the thing.
She was that exact mindset.
Right.
She was kind of like, it's a good thing.
So obviously they weren't happy to start with.
I don't know how long they were going out together.
Yeah, we didn't ask many questions.
No.
But she was like, she was completely of the mindset.
set Clint of taking the sand to the beach.
She was kind of like, you know what?
I'm going to use this to my advantage.
I'm on the prowl electric avenue.
I'm going to rebound quickly like that, boom, straight away.
I have a feeling that probably her and her ex did,
and then they found their way back to each other that night.
Like that literal night, I reckon they wouldn't have gone home together.
Yeah, but I mean, she could have found a rebound
and then done that we were on a break thing, I guess,
depending on how, whether you're a Ross or Rachel.
Got to have a sneaky little patch with somebody else, maybe,
and then they were like, I'll go back with the ex.
I like to think that they kind of broke up.
She started hooking up with a new dude.
Then the ex comes back and sees her doing it.
You know, and then he's like, fine, I'm doing it as well.
Producer Nipia?
I also saw my ex at Electric Ave as well,
and she came up to me and slapped me on the back
and she said, Gidea mate.
So that was good.
Oh, that's a goodie.
Yeah, it was nice to see her, actually.
That's a goodie.
It was nice to see her, actually.
Yeah.
And that was it?
There was no more slapping after that?
No more slapping after that.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, that's good.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I thought we could just bring back,
shout out to my ex.
Yeah, it's good.
What would you say right now to your ex
if they were in front of you?
Just one line.
Especially with fresh on a Monday
and it happened over the weekend.
Yeah, and it could be nice or not nice.
I mean, I, Christchurched brought up
a lot of memories for my ex
because we're together when we're down there.
So I get it, you know.
Okay.
Well, you try and frame up some sentence for yours then.
Okay.
I'll have a little thing.
Okay.
It'll be a nice one.
She can't do it on the spot, Clint.
She needs a minute or so.
It was a long time ago, I'd imagine.
Maybe it's something that you've always wanted to say to them,
but you've just never had the opportunity.
Okay.
Just say it out to the ether.
It's Clint McGinn Dan's.
Dan and I went, and...
Well, actually, Clint was there too, sorry.
We went early to giving you the whole station went,
and we were mullied about when we met a girl, got a photo,
and she'd just broken up with her boyfriend at Electricab.
Yeah, at Electricab.
And she was on the bounce back there and then.
She was looking for a new squeeze, like a rebound.
Thousands of the nine.
too.
Yeah.
I guess it's electric.
Someone else who might have been there,
just based on the context of this text,
because we said,
what would you say to your ex if you could?
If you're still unsure,
grinding up against another girl
and a mosh is chatting,
okay, babe?
Ooh, is it?
Yeah, I guess so.
I only think that you're a mate.
I grind quite a few mates.
It also depends on your relationship, I suppose.
Yeah.
What about this one?
I hope she's worth it, you scumbag.
You're the perfect match.
You look like Shrek,
and she looks like Princess Fiona.
And then there's some other ones
that you think everyone's just going to be angry at their
ex. Someone says, do you think of me as often
as I think about you?
Oh, that's sad because maybe they don't think of you.
Yeah, no, I think that's the hardest part where you suddenly
realize that you're sitting there pining still
for them a little bit.
And they're well and truly
not thinking about you at all.
We have a teeks.
Oh, actually, we're going to see if Carl's going to get them on.
Somebody else said, I hope the dogs are well and you're happy
because that's the thing.
When you break up with somebody, you lose their pets.
Yeah, and that's the thing you probably miss the boat.
The dolls did nothing wrong.
To their kids.
Anonymous has said,
shout it to my ex.
At the end of our relationship,
you wouldn't let me see our old dog
when we separated.
You wanted to keep the split clean.
But you tried to be friends with my friend.
And four years later,
you're still working for my dad.
That's an interesting one.
If your daughter's ex-boyfriend works for you,
I mean, I guess you can't fire them
because they broke up with your daughter.
No, true.
They've just got the baggage there
and there's sort of be the elephant in the room,
wouldn't it?
It's hard to get away.
Wouldn't you, after four years,
I mean, try and look for another job,
another boss.
A lot of people are just saying give back my stuff,
like someone's saying,
give me back my hoodies, you dog.
Yeah.
So.
Speaking of jobs at 8 o'clock this morning,
if you're looking for a real hard pivot career-wise,
are we going to catch up with Stuart,
who's in Antarctica right now,
and they're looking for 40 new staff,
not all of which need to be heavily skilled and trained.
Yeah, true.
But you've got to like the cold.
You can just be a cook,
but you're just cooking in Antarctica.
Yeah.
Not bad.
Minus 55, I think he said,
was the coldest.
It's been getting there over the last few months.
Cozy inside, though.
You'd like the things.
Hopefully they'd have heaters big.
Yeah.
All right, before we get to that, though, an AMA with,
I'm sorry, Stuart, who's at Scott Base,
hopefully the internet's good there.
We give you the chance to win $10,000 at $7 and $8.
I don't think they've got fiber in Antarctica.
Maybe it's still on dial-up.
Oh, God, I'm worried, because we're catching up with them over Zoom.
Clint, Megad, Dan.
Lesh, go!
The edge is easy money.
Here's your shot at $10,000.
This morning, it's one past eight.
Your chance to win $10,000 right now with easy money.
Give us 10 answers, starting with the letter me,
gives you between E and Z, hence easy money,
and the 10 grand's all yours.
It's you, Tiani.
You get to play this morning, $10,000.
Pay off some bills, right?
Yes, yeah, and then hopefully a holiday to Aussie.
Ooh, okay.
We're in Australia.
Golden.
Brisbane to go visit my sister would be great.
Brisbane's lovely Sunshine Coast.
And guys, we've got a Kendi teacher.
There we've had a lot of success with teachers.
I reckon 80% of our winners with Easy Money
have been a teacher of some sort.
Okay, so you can pass if you need to do it early,
if I've got time, we'll come back.
But no repeated answers,
and your time will start at the end of Meg asking you your first question.
Good luck, Tiana.
All right, Tiana, your letter is F.
All right.
F, F, a fabulous job.
Here we go
Okay
Okay
Tiana
Give me a car brand
A Ford
Something that smells bad
A fruit
A fruit
A fruit
Sea Joa
A style of dance
Um
Or
Folk
A mythical creature
A reason you go to the doctor
Um
Fungle infection
Something that rotates
Time.
You got through five and passed one of them.
What was the mythical creature?
Fairy?
Fairy would have been a quick easy one.
Oh, fairy.
Or a thorn?
It was another one that you could say there.
That was actually not a bad effort.
You had a lot of correct dances.
It was not quick enough.
Yeah.
Oh, don't, Tiana.
Sorry, Tiana.
Damn, that was, yeah, she was good, but it's got to be so fast.
You do, yeah, do.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
Stinky B.
Ask me anything.

Stuart, the marine scientist
hanging out in arguably the coldest part of the world right now.
Morning.
Good morning. How are you?
Very good to see you, Stuart.
What is the current temperature right there?
Oh, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's, it's, it's a, I mean, it's a, I mean, it's, it's, I mean, it's, I mean, to give us a little perspective, because a lot of us will never experience how cold minus 50 is. Is there anything you can compare it to, or how quickly something might freeze that would give us some sort of idea?
Yeah, the biggest difference is you can.
can't really have skin that's exposed at minus 50.
So, you know, if it, if you have a, you know, your nose or your ear or something that's a bit
open to the air, you've only got seconds before it'll start to get really painful.
And then seconds after that, you're really starting to get into big trouble.
Wow, so you definitely aren't whipping it out and going for a quick pee or if you're busting
and you're out on a bit of an expedition.
Nail on the head.
What would happen if I did, say it was one minus 55,
and the toilets blocked at Scott Base,
and I had to go outside.
What would happen if I went outside and did that?
Well, actually, as part of the Antarctic Treaty,
you're not really allowed to just sort of go outside to the toilet.
You have to use a container.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, but for our field operators, of course, this is a big problem,
and they carry around bottles,
which allow them to capture all the human waste.
Things like that are much harder in that type of conditions.
And quite frankly, everything takes a lot more time
to do the very basic type of functions.
You know, just from a, you've got your hands are all in big gloves.
So you can't really operate tools and things very easily
unless you take the gloves off.
You can do something really quick,
then you put all the gloves back on again.
And it can take a long time just to,
install something that would take minutes where you are.
But I mean, outside of all those things, I'm sure, Stuart, your jobs
entail many, many more exciting and interesting things.
I guess it's something we don't necessarily consider all that much in New Zealand
that there are people at the bottom of the world in Antarctica
and the freezing cold doing important work.
So if you'd like to pick up one of those jobs, we'll let you know next what's going.
all sorts, I think.
Yeah.
Ask me anything.
We've got scientist Stuart,
who's in Antarctica at the moment,
I'm chatting with us,
about all the ins and outs.
If you've got an extreme job, though,
Flick is a text 33443,
even if it's extreme-ish,
what is it that you're doing for a crust?
But Stuart, what is a scientist like you do
on the day-to-day down at the bottom of the world?
Over the winter, we do have a few science programs,
mainly looking at atmospheric,
so the depths of the ozone layer,
basically pollution from the rest of the world.
But during the summer, we do a lot of work actually on the ice, under the ice, seals, penguins, right through to the small krill.
Anything good coming out of the research?
The good news is that our data is showing that ozone is slowing down and getting smaller and smaller.
Cool.
Yeah, which is great news.
Really good news.
It's really cool.
It's not so good news on a few other fronts.
We are seeing warmer and warmer conditions.
you might not be aware,
but Antarctica kind of sets the rest of the world's weather system
and sets a lot of the way the world operates
in terms of ocean temperatures and things.
Tell us a little bit about yourself
because I'd imagine it's a very difficult thing
to be working in Antarctica.
I mean, do you have family back home
and how long are your way?
Myself, yes, I have family.
I've got three sons, sort of older.
But my younger son, who's 12,
Peter, he, yeah, he's making a big sacrifice because he's, you know, he does miss me and I regularly
engage with him.
We are very lucky having good internet, which is what I'm on today.
I'm here for the next eight months.
Wow.
And your son doesn't want to follow in his dad's freezing cold footsteps?
Probably at the moment, so I would suggest not.
Right.
And speaking of which, there are a few jobs or job applications that you're taking at the moment
because you've got a few positions to fill.
So if people are wanting to completely change it up,
throw a little caution to the wind and attempt something different,
is that something they can do?
Do they have to be very specifically specialized in certain areas
to be able to apply?
No, look, one of the great things are working here
is it's like a village, and to an extent we need people of all different types.
You know, we've got people here who help with cleaning,
right through to science specialists who are heavily trained,
mechanics of course, keeping all the machinery going.
And we have people who are dealing with telecommunications.
I'd encourage anybody to have a look and see if they want to apply.
I might be able to show you a bit about it.
Oh, take us out of the window.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that's so cool.
Oh, it's not what I was expecting to see.
That's actually stunning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How often do you see like a polar bear or a killer whale breach and things like that?
Look, the polar bears have become really rare lately since.
they've never come down to the South
Hemisphere.
Yeah, that was good.
That was actually my true question to you, but you got it.
So just as well, Stuart.
You pass the test.
Yeah, good job.
You are really there.
Amen.
All right.
Hey, Stuart, well, all the best.
Hopefully it doesn't get too freezing for you there.
No, well, we actually hope it doesn't get too warm.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's cold.
It's so cold.
I hope it gets colder.
Yeah, yeah.
Steward, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, mate.
Really appreciate the time.
Bye.
Bye.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Antarcticaanz.govete.nz slash careers
if you want to check out the jobs that are going.
There's about 40 of them at the moment if you can handle the cold.
Yeah, I wouldn't say that our jobs are extreme jobs at all,
but there might be people that we saw over the weekends
that could have had it.
People were EA.
Electric cab, you know, maybe they're putting up the cranes.
I mean, what would we say is an extreme job in New Zealand?
Oh, like mine.
There's heaps of extreme jobs.
Really? Yeah.
Like mines.
There's someone that's already texts through saying he's in the Army.
he had to do some training that is really extreme.
I want to get hold of him.
Kane, give us a call.
All right, extreme jobs next.
Oh, 800 the Edge.
And also the other person looks like Miles,
who ticks in saying,
if the ozone's coming back,
can we go back to plastic straws?
They would send us backwards, Miles, unfortunately.
He'd got to have some creature comforts.
Paper ones too suck, I feel your miles.
Just wrapped up chatting with Stuart,
who's currently in Antarctica.
Reception.
Bloody good, I thought, for Zoom in Antarctica.
Yeah, he seemed to allude as well
that it was newish, so I think he was quite happy with
the update. Yeah.
Maybe they've just switched to fibre.
Yeah.
Minus 50 degrees
at the, obviously, coldest
days of the week. She's pretty
extreme. What is it that you do that most people
are quite impressed by? Yeah, all have
done. All have done. Let's go to Kane.
Dan, you were talking about him before.
Kane, thanks for chatting to us.
What was the army training you had to do?
We did
a course where, so
for six days we had about four hours
sleep in total.
And then we're doing, I think we walked over the span of about 150Ks or more and then
like doing random tasks.
So one, we had a 25 kilo pack on the back and then two, 20 litre water juries to a swamp.
It just feels like a torture thing.
What is that training you for?
I understand maybe a bit of resilience.
But do you feel like you are more resilient now doing it?
So that, so the course was to become an army officer.
So ultimately you're going to lead people in the worst scenarios possible
and the worst conditions possible under most likely no sleep.
And so they're trying to like do it so that way you can have,
you can be basically crippled, so to speak,
and you're still making good decisions with the well-being and health of everyone around you.
What were you like day six after four hours sleep across almost an entire week?
What happens to you?
Well, you lose weight
We have so like there's a lot of
People there to like support and make sure that you're like healthy
Well to some degree of healthy and that it's not actually going to cause you any like proper problems in the future
But you're really drained like we'll walk and then you just sit down and you end up
You just basically conk out and then instructors are around they're making sure hey
Hey wake up wake up wake up sort of thing
Meggy, can you imagine I'd be so grumpy.
Well, I was just about to say they don't need to do training.
Just give you more mums.
And study them if you want.
But are they walking 100 kilometres as well?
Right, aren't you not.
Tom, morning.
Hi, guys.
How I are?
Good, mate.
What's your extreme job that you used to do, by the looks?
Yeah, I used to.
I used to work down in Queenstown for AJ Hacks at Bungie,
throwing people off the ledges for a living.
Oh, Dom.
Did you do that gag where you go, oh, hold on.
haven't tied you on and then push them off?
Yes, more than once a day.
Yeah.
Dom, did you ever have any sort of fear of heights?
Because I understand you know you're strapped in, but even just standing, do you
know what?
It's so funny, even the idea of me thinking about standing, my palms are sweating.
So you can't be afraid.
No, you can.
There was actually a couple of guys who had never actually done it, but still worked there
just because they loved it.
But no sort of the courage comes later on.
But the fear, I guess, is actually, even though you're doing it for a job and you're helping people, you know, conquer it.
It's actually the people might grab you and pull you off, which has happened to me once.
But I was attached.
Oh, that's scary.
Wow.
As the money good?
Because there's a lot of responsibility to tie people onto the road.
Yeah, sure.
You're getting paid well?
Yes, you are.
Once you get through your two and a half years of training, and then you're actually a jump master in charge of the site for the day, the 300 plus jumpers a day.
Yeah.
You are well looked after, and the crew morale's huge, and the parties and everything like that.
It's pretty wicked.
Is the Nevis and Queenstown still the largest bungee that you can do in the Southern Hemisphere?
It is.
Yeah, it's unreal.
Like 134 metres, something.
Mental.
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's crazy.
It's one hell of a bungee.
If you get a chance to go do it, do it.
Yeah.
I don't quite a few.
Thank you.
I went out to the past.
Under a tandem, you and I.
I done quite a few, and then went into the Nevis, and it was like I was jumping for the very first time.
It was unreal.
Yeah.
I mean, do we have time to quickly go to Monique?
Very quickly.
It's her birthday today, boys.
So happy birthday, Monique.
And what was your extreme job?
Thank you, guys.
My extreme job, like, I currently work back there.
So I worked there a few years ago, and then I got pregnant.
And had my child.
I'm just going to move myself away from my dog.
Yep.
And then I moved.
What's the job?
What's the job, Monique?
I work at Spookers.
Oh, yeah, yes.
That would be.
Spookers is a place in Auckland if you've never been where you can go along.
It's like a cornfield.
There's a haunted house as well and there's people dressed up like
like,
like, scary people are scaring you.
Do you get scared yourself?
I feel like I'd freak myself out.
When I first went there, like first ever went there,
I got really scared and then I ended up working there.
But I actually lived in there as well.
Oh, wow.
Oh my God.
I have to talk to you as an AMA and we don't have much time afterwards
to talk to you now, Monique.
But we might have to get her on as an AMA.
There's a rumor as well.
I think they get a bonus if someone went.
it's their pants. I've heard that.
Oh, so, maybe.
Somebody would have got a bonus of me. Is that true, Manick?
Yes, that's true.
Oh my God. My mom
went her pants once and had to buy some stuff from the gift shop.
Monique, got 50 bucks for that.
Hey, uh, Monique, happy birthday. We'll give you a double pass to our must-see movie.
It's The Bride with Christian Bale and also Jesse Buckley in cinemas on Thursday.
Oh, thank you guys.
You're welcome, man. Thanks, mate.
She seems nice, but, oh, don't go up to her at Spookers.
It's serious anything.
Clint, Megan, Dan.
I've been taking my son George to a play group for the last three weeks.
This will be our fourth week today on a Monday in the afternoon.
I take him along.
He plays around.
He dances.
He does jazz.
And then we go home.
There's a man that runs the classes.
And from day one, I don't know how it's happened, but he's been calling me Craig.
And I corrected him day one.
You look like a Craig.
And you know what?
Craig's actually quite a nice name.
But it's not my name.
No offense, Craig's.
I think Dan's better.
I corrected him day one.
I said, oh, sorry, you might have it wrong.
in the system because my name's Dan.
Oh, good for you.
He goes, oh, sorry, Dad.
And then continue to call me Craig.
Hi, I'll play you.
I wish me this was a long play
where me and you were just messing with his life.
But unfortunately, I can't claim responsibility.
No, no, so he's probably told himself
he's like, now remember it's Craig, it's Craig, it's Craig,
and he's got the next up.
I don't know, I don't think he has.
Well, I think he's just gone straight from the start
and just, you know, that's what it's stuck with him.
Because I've corrected him once
and then he's even got to the point where he's like,
Georgie's dad, Craig, where's he?
And I've gone, yep, that's me.
You just accepted it
Because I've corrected him once
How many times do you correct a man?
Yeah, you can't do it again.
You know?
So is there anybody that's got advice for this?
Someone said that that's just your new identity.
Stick with it.
I think that's kind of what I'm going to do.
It's right.
You're Dan everywhere else, but it's swimming.
You're Craig.
It's just a nickname.
But there's people there that know me as Dan.
Like there's a couple of people that have
George's friends that also go to this thing
and now have witnessed the Craig issue.
It's like an alter ego that you get to have now.
What do you think Craig would do?
How do you think Craig would parent?
Yeah, I, I,
My great uncle, I knew him as Uncle John,
but a lot of people used to call him Jack as well.
I just don't know why, Jack.
Who had it wrong?
You were them?
I don't know.
His name was Uncle Jack, but being just called him John.
Yeah, I don't know, but people just have different names.
I think we can...
I like the fact of having an alter ego,
like, how does Craig interact with the receptionist when he goes through?
Maybe Craig's a badass.
Maybe Craig just doesn't...
Craig could drive a Harley-Davidson.
Or Craig probably hasn't got enough money for a Harley-Davis.
said neither does Dan, to be honest.
Maybe Craig takes money out of the savings account that his wife is prepared.
Yeah, Craig can do all the things that Dan's not allowed to do.
Marja, which I now think isn't Marja, has texts in saying,
I've had my name wrong with the edge since my first call, but I just go with it now.
So I don't think her name's Marja.
Maybe it's Martha.
We're going Marja.
Marja, thanks, Marja.
Someone says, yeah, that's your new identity.
That's just what it is now.
Same thing happened to, was it Chandler on Friends?
Oh, yeah.
He was being called Toby or something.
Hey Toby, have a good night.
Did that guy just call you Toby?
Yeah, he thinks that's my name.
Well, why don't you correct him?
Oh, it's been going on way too long now.
I mean, the first time he said it,
we were just passing each other in the hallway
so I didn't say anything.
And then the next time he said,
hey, Toby, you want a donut?
And I wanted the donut.
And that's fair enough.
I wanted my son to learn jazz.
This is my favourite one.
One person in my old job started calling me Emma.
For years, they thought it was my name.
It got so bad that one day there were a dozen people arguing
of whether my name was Rebecca or Emma.
It's Rebecca!
That's so good.
I think I would know.
It's going to be a bit of a hard pivot next.
This interview's just come through.
And so I've said, yeah, of course, listener Chand is currently in Dubai.
You may have seen on social media or the drone attacks
that are landing there at the moment.
So she's going to give us a bit of an insight.
as to what it's like on the ground
and how hard it is to get out of Dubai at the moment.
Yeah, that part of the world's very scary at the moment.
Yeah, we've been trying to get her on,
and we've just been given confirmation.
Yeah, yeah, and thumbs up from producers
that Chan's going to chat with us next.
Clit Meg and Dan.
Listener Chand joins us from Dubai at the moment.
She's a listener of the show Kiwi,
but is over there on holiday as far as I'm aware.
And it's a business trip she's over there to meet some investors.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Well, I guess it was initially.
We were over in Christchurch for the weekend.
of just enjoying ourselves and then now we see on social media just explosions and missiles
and crazy what's going on there at the moment and hopefully chand has um i guess the information as
to what's going on yeah chan you've been there since the 26th good morning good yeah it's almost
night late at night for us but good morning to everyone in new zealand hello so you've been so
things have ramped up in the last sort of 48 hours haven't they what's been what's been happening
It just came out of the blue.
I mean, Dave, when we landed, everything was fine.
The next day was great.
We went to see some potential restaurant investors,
had a little tasting, et cetera, with them.
And then we were supposed to go and see them again yesterday.
But as we were leaving, we heard the airport was temporarily shut, partially shut.
And then the next thing, it was fully shut.
And then we were told to turn around and go back to the hotels.
So that's when things started escalating.
and then we heard
some, a few booms
but didn't you know what really they were
and then we heard that the
Fairmont in Palm Jomera
had been hit and then
yeah got an emergency alert
just past midnight last night
which was quite scary things
stay indoors and that was from the government
Yeah for two days now
Kind of like COVID vibe
If you haven't heard about this two days now
Dubai residents have been told to stay indoors
As their city is hit
With missiles and drones it's part of an attack
launched by Iran across the region in response to the latest massive and ongoing attack against it
by the USA and Israel.
Yeah, there's been some buildings that have been hit as well with debris.
Are they anywhere near you, Chad?
No, so we were in, we're very lucky.
We're inland, so we're away from the port.
What they're doing is they're targeting the US ships in port and also any military US presence places.
So we are quite inland.
in the Business Bay in a nice skyscraper and Sheraton Grant.
So we just keep looking out of the window,
but there have been quite a few missile interceptions today.
So you hear these little sonic booms constantly.
Sometimes they shake the building.
But nothing, like you don't see things falling.
Chan, sorry, what's a missile interception for people that don't know?
So when Iran is like a shot or close to 300 missiles plus about 200 drones,
towards the UAE, but they have a shield on top.
So when the radar senses a missile coming,
they send another missile an intercept,
either the drone or the missile.
So what happens is that you see the debris.
You have a debris falling,
which is what hit the hotel.
It hit Bourge al-Arab as well yesterday,
and you have minor fires, break out,
and then they completely put out.
So it was scary before,
but it's not like it's on the roads.
look guys the roads are busy there are people on the road now um there's there's restaurants
that have people here um albeit a lot of people are staying home and getting um things like
uber eats called kareem here delivered but people are trying to keep yeah geez danger money
yeah yeah yeah yeah so the airport's open again because it's a big transit delay isn't it to
to europe like a lot of people going through there i mean i went through the last last year
so there's still planes coming in and out of do you have done
Dubai at the moment?
No, no, no.
So nothing's going to our flight was scheduled to go out tomorrow and then they cancelled it.
So the next available update will be tomorrow at 3 o'clock UAE time.
Until then the airspace is shut.
I mean, airspace is shut in every other neighboring country as well.
So it's not like we can take a car and drive to Oman or Qatar or anywhere else,
all Middle East except for Saudi Arabia, which is about 11 hours away from here.
is open every other airspace is shut.
Well, keep us updated, Chan.
We wish you like a...
Disrupted.
Yeah, we wish you a safe journey home
when you finally can get on a plane.
But in the meantime,
do let us know how you're getting on
and we'll keep in touch with you behind the scenes.
Sounds good. Thank you guys.
Thanks, man, that would be scary, eh?
Like just being over there for a business trip
and being stuck there when all that's happening.
It's sad that when this stuff happens,
you have to keep reminding yourself,
man, we're lucky to live in New Zealand.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
It's sad that we have to keep.
remind ourselves because that stuff continues to happen around the world.
It's just that, unfortunately, at the beginning as well, this is all just started.
So we have to keep a close eye and wishing love to anybody who does.
Have family affected overseas at the moment.
Holy shit! You made it the whole way through.
