Well we changed, aren't we? We changed people. Yes, we're now an official band. Oh, if you thought we were humble before. Sorry! The only thing I didn't quite do was sign a boob. I was really
Starting point is 00:01:06 hoping that someone would bring their boob to me and go sign my boob. Dan and I both had vivids. Yeah and why weren't your wives there? Well because of that. I didn't want her to get in the way of my boob signings. Yeah and it turns out she could have been there because... I had to sign her boob when I got home. She was really weird about it. When she woke up she was like what is this Dan? Why is your name written on her boob when I got home. She was really weird about it. When she woke up she was like, what is this, Ted? What's your name written on my boob? What is this? It's all over the sheets.
Starting point is 00:01:32 We'll bring you the, I was gonna say highlights. There's a couple of lowlights. Some lowlights, definitely. Yeah, yeah. The producers in the booth is bowing their heads. Yeah, so there's a little bit of that, but we'll bring you that at eight o'clock.
Starting point is 00:01:47 Also, who wants $10,000? Ooh, that would be nice. $10,000 bucks could be won at 7am this morning. And it's like, it actually gets, I mean, it's not easy, but it's like, there's no hoops. There's no like, join here, enter online, just get through on the phones and play. That's Clint's daily salary,
Starting point is 00:02:03 and he's giving it up for you. Well, sure. It, hmm. What salary and he's giving it up for you. Well shit, it, hmm. What's interesting is that it's not easy, because it's called easy money. Well, yeah. I think on paper it is. Yeah, on paper.
Starting point is 00:02:14 And as soon as you saw it written down, you'd be like, god, it can't be that easy. Yeah, you know? Yeah, well, it can be one. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, oh my gosh. We've got your chance to play to win 10K coming up at 7 o'clock this morning and if you can't get it done at 7, we'll let you play again at 8.
Starting point is 00:02:31 We've started a band, haven't we, over the last month. Meg, you are incredible on the drums. I showed a video of Meg playing to my wife Hannah and she was blown away. Yeah, I'm actually really looking forward to when the video comes out because I think we're all so focused on our instruments I'm genuinely just making sure my fingers are in the right place and so you don't really notice too much that's going on around you unless it's a mistake. Yeah I got it. So if you don't notice I think that's a good thing. I got a message from your wife Hannah last night that was one of the nicest
Starting point is 00:03:01 messages I think I've ever received in my 34 years. Oh, ring it out! I don't know what she said. Really? Because she was like, I'm gonna message Meg and she disappeared for like 10 minutes. Oh my god, okay. Messaging Meg. 10 minutes? After she'd watched a video of our performance. Okay, first she said, Meg, oh my god I am not one for Gen Z slang but you've done it absolute queen slay.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Oh god, she's not one. She's been googling Gen Z slang. The fact that she's used queen sleigh, I wonder whether she's kind of showing her cards there. You are a legend, Dan just showed me the video of you last night, amazing amazing, you're incredible Caps Lock. I'm actually quite sad I missed it, but I genuinely know you 100% were the star of the show.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Sorry Dan, I didn't believe Dan when he said that you had no drumming lessons. And Caps like, you're amazing. Actually actually amazing. Such an incredible woman. Amazing role model for mums, women and daughters. Drunk. Oh my god. She's drunk.
Starting point is 00:03:58 No cap. No all caps. No all caps. Yeah, she was blown away. And I think most people will be. Once the video is released tomorrow they will see just how incredible Meg is on the drums and it looks, the thing is it looks like you're, you've been playing them for years. You know you're so relaxed.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah I loved it, I loved it. I love as well that we could have played anywhere in the country and we happened to find a gig that was less than five minutes from Dan's house and yet his wife still didn't want to do a four minute drive to go. Oh god no no no don't ask too much of her Clint. Alright well this is not our performance this is the actual song from Weedus but this is the song we performed at Olivia's 40th on Saturday night. So we thought quite fitting to jump into a 6am throwback. And it's Weedus, Teenage Durban, Your 6am Throwback and the song also that we performed as a band for the very first time on Saturday night The
Starting point is 00:04:49 The ending is still giving our producer Carl nightmares All of us nightmares really, it was not quite, it was like fireworks were there wasn't it? It was like sparks Yeah, well it was Olivia's 40th that we were performing at, it was probably 60, 70 people there And I don't think they were expecting fireworks at the end of it. That's what they got. I think, producer Kyle, correct me if I'm wrong, you said, on the last strum of my guitar, it like blew the channel. You strum too hard, you rock too hard.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Maybe, I might have. Is that what you think happened when you were doing your troubleshooting after? Look, no, I don't know whether it was that. It's like there was a sound system failure. It was shaky in the beginning. It was shaky at the end. And yeah. Yeah, this is what everyone got as we were sort of wrapping up and Dan was doing the, please, ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:05:37 put your hands together on drums, Miss Meg Mansel. Yeah. And doing the, but no one heard any of it. What is that? Shocking. That's alright, they're not plugged in. Yeah. I mean they don't get a voice. I gave you my mic. And then you know they just had to rip the cable out the back of the speaker. Yeah it was shocking.
Starting point is 00:06:12 It was like one of those things where you hear it and you almost have to leave the room. It was so bad. Yeah, you know when you get feedback on a mic it was that grating. So anyway you'll be pleased to know that there was part of the performance that was good. Yeah, yeah. Not was part of the performance that was good. Yeah, yeah! Not the start, not the end. Remember, how was it? Well, there were parts in it.
Starting point is 00:06:33 If you came for the middle, it would have been alright. If you had arrived about 10 seconds into the song and then gone, this is a shit party, and left just before the end, you would have thought we were amazing. Alright, we've got a scandal update and what's been going on over the weekend next? Yeah, lots of chats about Justin Bieber on stage with SZA and what was going on. Did you see the video? I saw the video, yeah. He just, he doesn't look well, does he?
Starting point is 00:06:55 No, he doesn't look well, boys. And because everyone's accusing him of not being well, you think when you are on stage in that capacity, you would make sure you brought your A-game for what? What did he have to do two minutes 60 seconds yeah a lot of stuff that's been going down behind the scenes of people saying it first it was like oh look at him like cheating with scissor but no I think scissor was actually keeping him bloody awake on stage so we'll go through it next scandal with Meg I don't want to be doing the story because why is it that Justin
Starting point is 00:07:23 Meeble has a soft spot for everybody? Well, I have a soft spot for him. I mean like what it's something about him that makes me I just want him to win now I want him to be good. I want him to be happy. We kind of grew up with him, right? Like he sort of hit Fame the big time. I think it was 2011 when he kind of hit the big time. Yeah, and He was there the whole time. He was and I think he actually became famous at the absolute peak peak peak of the worst paparazzi. So you had like you had people that had really bad paparazzi at the same time but they're a bit older Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, you know up the skirt stuff horrible horrible horrible stuff. But he was
Starting point is 00:08:00 10 when that was all happening. When they're on their like worst behaviour. Worst worst behaviour. And they were like no real rules. Yeah, where they, suddenly we had the technology to get things on the internet and you know, rip people to shreds compared to what maybe a few years ago was in magazines, but this was like constant. But we hadn't really learned etiquette enough of like, hey, that's kind of uncool, they're humans too.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It's quite invasive, some of the stuff that they do. I think the young, I maybe I'm wrong but I think he was the youngest but biggest star at the time that that all happened so like the worst for him Anyway, I want him to win and it looks like he's struggling at the moment You can text Justin at 3343 for this video. He performed on stage with Scissor and there were people like Alleging that he was cheating the man is his eyes closed from what I've seen it's called nodding out which people say comes from fentanyl and
Starting point is 00:08:51 he was about to go on what they call the Fenty stance which is where you're kind of just like leaning in your body weight's holding you up when Scissor comes and lifts his face and kind of snaps him out of it a little bit not nice to see you look cool you're a cool outfit on. He did look cool. Well yeah, he's wearing Balenciaga which is also very controversial at the moment. What is it? Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, they did a really strange campaign with young children, like looking sexy. For a little while ago. I know, I know, like this.
Starting point is 00:09:19 This was like a couple of years ago now. I will say, I think Czza kind of saves him in a way. And good on her, like very professional of her to kind of, she's obviously knows that he's on some sort of drug. We don't know exactly what it is. And she kind of, like you say, Meg lifts his head up. She tries to kind of bring him back into the room, but it's very obvious that he's not there. And so I think, yeah, I do feel sorry for him
Starting point is 00:09:45 because there's obviously some heavy stuff going on in his life. Someone's gotta be like in charge of the important stuff. Like your agent, I don't know if it's like a manager, publicist, surely someone's going, yo, Justin's not going out on stage like this. Yeah, and that's what people are saying. He's not, the world will just rip him to shreds.
Starting point is 00:10:03 So the comments are like, he's got the Fenty Fold, he's so gone. And then another one just said like, who led him on stage? Like, I know he has responsibilities, but then who, I don't know, I don't know. And he's his own person, but I think in that kind of state, I don't know whether he would be pushing back all that much because he didn't really look like he was going on.
Starting point is 00:10:20 And now this is just going to be more backlash, which is going to get more in his head, which is just going gonna worsen everything. I think the reason he's probably in the situation he's in as well is because he's surrounded himself with yes people. You know people that are not saying that clip, that are not going, Justin you can't go out on stage. People that are like kind of allowing him to do this stuff so I think it is pretty scary. Yeah. Yeah if you do want to check it out, Justin to 3343.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I want to get to know you next if you're listening to the show. Nice and early, one at a time. I want to get to know everyone that listens to it. We will flick you a voucher to go spend in store at Z. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Alright, I want to get to know you. Meg's going to throw a question at you and we'll try and assume what we think your answer would be based on the limited information that we get from you this morning. And oh, does it feel like a different Monday today boys? Oh! It feels like there's some sort of energy in the air. Something in the air because something happened this morning that made Julie call us for the very first time. Oh the first time!
Starting point is 00:11:22 Julie! Where have you been all this time? Morning Jules Just listening Oh nice I just get so curious, why today Julie? Why today did you call her? Well I've tried other times but this is just the day I got through Oh great Sometimes I'm like you got through but sometimes only one person calls
Starting point is 00:11:43 So I don't know how Dep It depends if we're given away cash. Julie you've worked as a planner for truck deliveries. She used to drive truck stands. Oh yes, love that. She now drives a Ford Falcon. She's got a partner and a seven month old and she wants back to truck into somebody's car in a driveway. Oh is that why you're now in the planning and not driving? Yeah. You'd think so, but no, I was a pretty good truck driver. That was in the first. Yeah, great.
Starting point is 00:12:10 How many wheels? What was the biggest truck you used to drive, Jules? I had nine axle truck and trailer. I have all my licenses. Oh wow, nine axles. So now that you've got your Bubba, you've just taken a bit of time away from it. Yeah, and it's a little bit easier on the body
Starting point is 00:12:26 to be able to just plan the route and use your brain a little bit more as well. Are you a Matleaf still or are you back at work? Seven months? I'm back at work after six weeks ago, I started back at a new job. Good on you. Oh cool.
Starting point is 00:12:39 How's it getting back into the workforce after having some time away? Yeah, no, I wish I had my mat leave back but I do enjoy my job. It's a different kind of tough because suddenly you're spread between two different places and they both need you just as much in a way. Alright well Dan actually do you have any truck questions, truck sort of thing questions for Julie? I mean she has backed into a car at one point. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I... You really want my advice? I... here's the thing, I could ask her what sort of truck she'd drive. Yeah. But then I guess you do guys know... Oh yeah. Oh I've got a couple. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Okay. I've got a couple. Okay. So the question is... Oh I don't, so here we go. Okay so Julie... What is the type, the brand of truck... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:22 ...that Julie used to drive when she was a driver? Now Julie, don't answer this. We're gonna answer on your behalf and see who gets closest and you boys go first. Okay. Clint, you can go first. I'm gonna go Hino. Hino? Yeah. Okay. Alright, I'm gonna not go Hino and I'm gonna go...
Starting point is 00:13:39 Good, because I've already gone Hino. I think she was Scania. I reckon she was a Scania. Alright. Mm. Meg was like, oh, this one. I think it was a Scania. Alright. Meg was like, I think it's one. I think it's Mitsubishi. Okay, yeah. Okay, do they do make trucks? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Meg steals this. I'm gonna be so pissed. Same. Same. Alright, what was the type of truck that you used to drive, Julie? Well, actually I drove all of those. Oh, okay. Do we go with the truck she drove the most or her favorite out of the three? My favorite. Okay, and what was your favorite truck to drive? The Scania, the...
Starting point is 00:14:10 The Hino or the Mitsubishi? The Scania. Oh yeah! Why is it the Rolls Royce of Trucks? Why is it the Rolls Royce of Trucks? It's just European, isn't it? The two ones you named were Japanese. Does it have a beard in the back Julie? Um, not in the particular one I was driving.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I also drove a Volvo that did have a beard in the back. Oh, I love that. You had a beard with the curtains and stuff. It's a little like a mini motorhome in some of them. Yeah, I'd be stopping every hour having a kip. I bet you would. I was pretty, I'd be stopping every hour, having a kip. I bet you would. I was pretty, I was pretty like energetic because I was only like 22 when I got my bike.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Wow, what an incredible career you've had then, Julie, that you were a full truck driver with what? Nine axles at 22, good on you. Yeah, it's all on TikTok as well, like I have 60,000 followers that watch my journey. Oh, nice, a handlebar. Truck driving chick, truck driving chick 21. Love it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Wait, did you just say 60,000? You've got more followers than any of us. Yeah, 63. Oh, okay, okay. Come on, we're all getting there, Julie. Okay, we're building. We're growing. And I was on TV.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Oh, my God, what? Clint's drives for that? Stop rubbing it in. I haven't been on that for years. I'm on the show Great Southern Truckers. Okay, okay. It's a show five years away. Okay, okay. Oh my god, Clint strives for that. Stop rubbing it in, I've been on that for years. On the show Great Southern Truckers.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Okay, okay, okay. Okay, we get it, you're a celebrity Julie. Yeah, yeah, and I had a Dunson with the Stars but you don't see me bragging about it. Yeah. Not anymore Clint. Thanks for calling Julie, call anytime, I've got a little something for you. Yeah, we're gonna send you a voucher to go spend in store at Zed. Zed's got a brand new cheeseburger pie on his 6.90.
Starting point is 00:15:45 You can taste one at Zed today. Now I feel all bad. Yeah. All right. Boris Johnson has had an eventful weekend. Who's he? The Mayor of London? He used to be Mayor of London, then he was Prime Minister of UK.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Okay, Prime Minister. And now he's nothing. Now he's just a bit of a punisher. Okay. There is nothing that I would, there's nothing he could give me to swap lives with him right now. Based on what has now happened to him this weekend. What about another guy dancing with the stars? Close, close. Clint Megendan. Let's go!
Starting point is 00:16:15 Boris Johnson who is now the Prime Minister of the UK. No he's not anymore, he used to be. I'm not really keeping up. You really should know that Clint. No I don't know. I've never even been. I've never been to the UK. No neither, I'd love to go. I've got a lot of family over there. You guys would love London. You know Boris Johnson, he was the mayor of London for many years. Funny looking fellow eh?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Not in an ugly way, but he just doesn't look like somebody that would run a country. Like scruffy looking almost. He does, he's a little bit Chav Chavington kind of vibes. But he's had his ninth baby over the weekend. Ooh. Father, there's ninth child. Parents just hearing that,
Starting point is 00:16:53 I think can send a shiver down your spine. You know, if you've got one, two, three, four, even my brother-in-law, he's got six. I think even he would hear that, ninth kid, and go, ugh. Yeah, but he's not looking after them all, is he? No. But then that's also like, why keep having kids? Like if you can't, maybe he is,
Starting point is 00:17:12 but let's say he can't be present in all nine kids' lives. Stop having them. I agree. What kid wants to not have a relationship with their dad because the excuse was, sorry man, you were the ninth? It must be hard for it to be, because I think there are four older kids, like well, adults now, and it must be hard for it to be, because I think there are five, there are four older kids,
Starting point is 00:17:25 like well, adults now. And it must be hard for them if they haven't really got a relationship with him and then dad's still going and having up new little brothers and sisters. But bro, you're not even present in my life, stop having new ones. So his baby that was born on the weekend, Poppy,
Starting point is 00:17:38 I just named it. So he's got four kids with his current partner. Then he's got four other children from his second wife and then another daughter from an affair he had. I reckon she's the one that definitely has left out of this. Yeah she'd be like the one. She's the one that's cursing at Poppy's little Instagram post for her announcement. Okay so wait, so is this the latest one? Is that the affair one?
Starting point is 00:18:00 No, no, no, not the affair. is with the second wife, fourth child with her. In the middle there was an affair. Oh, right. I think maybe back in the day, like 20, 30 years ago, it was more common to have large families like nine kids. But nowadays it's very rare that you hear people with nine children. Yeah. I haven't heard of anyone personally that I know that's had nine kids.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. I just don't know how you, I would just, I would want to know how your mental health was. But how's your mental health? Nine children. Nine children, he's not looking after all of them. Unless, unless if you've got, I guess, a two to three year gap between each one eventually.
Starting point is 00:18:36 They start raising each other. Yeah. They do. They do, they have to. Yeah. I mean, can we find right now the biggest family listening to this show? Because I think nine small compared to some families. I'm sure there's someone
Starting point is 00:18:50 listening now that's one of ten, one of twelve. I think it'd be more common. Step sisters or things like that maybe. More common if you were one of say six or one of nine or whatever. I think less common is finding someone who would call who has more than nine children. Because you're right right I just don't think it's the norm anymore maybe like back in the old days you just keep having them. No contraception and maybe more religious. Yeah true. I mean we've got friends that are religious that have got seven kids you know and they just they use natural
Starting point is 00:19:24 contraception and I don't think it always works. Thank you Lord for the seventh blessing. Looks like somebody's already in that boat would love to hear from more. Oh shhhhh no. Have you guys just read Helen Texas? Let's not read it out yet because we need to get some fact checking on that. We need to get Helen on. That can't be true. Looking for the biggest family this morning after Boris Johnson has just announced his ninth child arrived this weekend. Yeah, four to one wife, four to another wife and a fear in the middle. You've got to have a little cheeky affair in the middle eh, sort of balance things out.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Interesting thing to admit on radio when you're married. Oh no, just for the record. That's not how I live my life. Just for the record, not selling Megari. No, I don't believe in that at all. No. Okay. So either. Each to their own. Okay, let's see, we thought we wouldn't find anyone for this and lo and behold it's actually more common than we thought. wouldn't find anyone for this and lo and behold it's actually more common than we thought. Carrie Anne, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Yeah, I'm one of 12.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Unbelievable. And all to the same parents? No, so my mum and dad, we had four together. And then when he remarried, his new wife had four already. And then they had another four together. Oh my god. Was it fun growing up though, having that many kids in your family? Yeah, well I've only recently gotten to know everybody because obviously when he started his new family, I didn't know any of them until only recently.
Starting point is 00:21:10 He started his new family like he's just starting a book. It's crazy as well because he already had four kids, then he meets somebody who's already got four, so you think you'd be like, hey we're pretty good. We've got a lot of kids between us. And then you want to create your own kids as well. Four of them, not even just like... Unbelievable, it's unfathomable. Thank you, Carrie Anne.
Starting point is 00:21:27 And this is the text we were reading before that we couldn't believe was real. Helen, you text us saying, I am one of 18. Shut up. Yeah, but there's apparently a few more added to that, but we don't know about them. Really?
Starting point is 00:21:42 Okay, one of 18. My dad was a busy man. Oh, busy, busy guy. But it sounds like mum was also busy. How many did mum have? So mum had 15. She had five sets of twins. Five sets! After the third set of twins surely you're cashing in your gyps. I'm trying to work, I need a pen. Let me work this out. Five times two, that's ten. Yeah, so, and then five singles.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah, five singles. Five twins. Yeah, so the first, so I was brought up with, there was 15 of us growing up. Yeah, and where did you fit in all of this? I'm third youngest. Third youngest, third youngest. And were you a set of twins?
Starting point is 00:22:26 No, just a single. Okay, so how many twins are ahead of you before? Because what I'm curious about is that she had multiple sets of twins and then does she still keep going and get some singles? Because that's a risk. If you've had so many twins before, they could all be twins. And also what's the gap between each pregnancy? We need more details.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Yeah, how long was... There's a year between each pregnancy pretty much, but there's 11 months to the day between one. Wow. And between me and a set of twins, she'd miscarried another set of twins. So... Could it be more?
Starting point is 00:23:06 Yeah. Wow. So... she'd miscarried another set of twins so... There could have been more! Helen! So, um... Otherwise it was always just a year apart. Helen, was it a set of twins that ended it? You know, the final thing was a set of twins? Yeah. So the final, and then she's like, no, no more, no more. Okay, wait, wait, Helen, you were talking to our producer off here.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I've just been told your mum had 12 kids under the ages of eight at one stage. Yeah, and she had eight under five. Oh my God, eight children under five? That must be a world record. I think there's very few people out there that would have the same story. Well, at the time we had the New Zealand, oh, sorry, Dan, at the time we had the New Zealand record.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Easy, easy. Oh man. So name them all now, can you name all 18 of them? Um, three of them, I'm not really Ross, I, Tony, Susan, Sandra, Paul, Gilbert, myself, Sally, Shirley and Michael. Priscilla had a funny name compared to everyone else. She had quite a unique one. It's funny, Alan, because you must, I mean, your third youngest, so like Helen was like, God, what are the names do we have?
Starting point is 00:24:20 I think it's a lovely name, but you know, like I'm struggling to pick a second child's name. It's wow, incredible. Yeah, that is amazing. One of them today's dream rings too. Alright, we've got a Mother Earth Nutty Sensations prize back. I think your mum was a little nuts to have 18 children. So we're going to send you out a prize back and go full flavour with Mother Earth Nutty Sensations.
Starting point is 00:24:41 There's probably two, four, seven, there's eight different packs of nuts, so 10 of the kids will miss out. You're gonna have to share. Thanks, Helen. I think I'll share it with my own kids, I thought that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Sure. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Your chance to win $10,000 right now. Win $10,000 right now with the Edge 10K ETS money. Alright Meg's going to give you a letter between E and Z and you've got 10 questions and 30 seconds. If you can get through it all that 10 grand is yours. The person that is playing for the very first time with us this morning is Ashley. Morning guys, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:25:23 Morning. You're a guinea pig, it's the first time we've played it. Morning guys, how you going? Morning! Morning! 10k! You're a guinea pig, it's the first time we've played it. Press is on. Yeah, 10k, not a bad thing to wake up to on a Monday morning if you get through this in the next few seconds. Any plans on where that money would go straight away pre-spent or you'd just plan by ear?
Starting point is 00:25:42 I think I would probably put some towards the mortgage and then maybe take my partner on a holiday. That's nice. Oh yes, put it all on a holiday. Boring, mortgage will get paid eventually. Yeah, that's true. Okay, so here's how it's gonna work Ash. You will have 30 seconds and the timer will start after you give the answer to the first question
Starting point is 00:26:01 that Meg asks, okay? Okay, cool. So we won't start the timer until you've locked your first one in. You can pass. If you're stuck, you can pass. I will come back to the question once we've gone through all of them.
Starting point is 00:26:13 If we've got time, yeah. If we have time, okay? Okay. Let's do this. Okay. I'm quite nervous too, Ashley, so here we go. Your letter today is H. A movie title.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Yep. Are we starting? A movie title. Sorry, okay. House of Musical. A tool. Hatchet. A city. Hamiltonatchet. A city.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Hamilton. A musical instrument. Hamonica. An exotic destination. Hawaii. Something sticky. Hair gel. A villain.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Puff. A female actress. Heidi Klum. You got Heidi after the buzz. I had you have got it before the buzz. You got a 7 from 10 which still would have been a bloody good effort. You're only 3 away from 10 grand. You were really, really good. away from 10 grand. Bloody hell, Ashley. That was really stressful, eh? What a way to start it. I'm shaking for you. You were really, really good. So a villain, maybe Hades, Hitler, Hannibal, Leclerc, something like that.
Starting point is 00:27:31 The bosses would have been nervous at the start because you were just firing off the answers. Gosh, I was nervous. Ashley, you did absolutely, that's how you do it. I know you didn't win, but that is how you play the game. You were cool, calm, collected. Oh, thanks guys. Yeah, wow. High thanks guys. Yeah wow.
Starting point is 00:27:46 High pressure situation. We've only played this once but I mean I think the trick is just not to pass. I know but it's hard if your brain's stuck on it because you waste time. Or you pass as soon as you blank. So you blank and you don't waste time thinking you've passed. You did better than I would have Ashley.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Thank you so much for being such a great starter. If you win as good as Ashley or you actually think you would have gone better. 8am, we'll play again. So we'll play again in less than an hour. Your chance to play for 10k at 8. Oh good. Alright, next on the show. What does your name say about you? We've done this for the last couple of weeks. I think there's a stat like 30-something percent of people will make assumptions about you based on just hearing your name alone we've got us thinking like what does your name say about you and so we'll assume things about you based on your first name and
Starting point is 00:28:36 see if we're right or not next what do you assume about people called Clint me arrogant try and think of something that's not attractive. Just arrogant. Anything other than attractive. I'll take attractive with arrogant. No, I didn't give that. I'm just trying to think of something else. No, you can think of anything other than that. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Megan's going to be naming her second child in probably a couple of months. Yeah, well, maybe earlier than that. It's actually coming to my husband last night you know we could have like very legitimately could have a new child within five weeks you know like very normally like it wouldn't be any shock it's just kind of. I do think Ingrid's a weird choice but I mean if you want to go with that it's fine. Hey that's my sister-in-law's name. Oh you gotta watch out when you start suggesting names or dissing them around people. Just for a baby. But it is definitely high pressure.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Gosh, there's so much pressure because you do feel like that some stereotypes come with names, that you've become the kind of person that you are because of it. Okay, well, who wants to start generalizing about Hayley? You get to make three assumptions that are worth a point each. You can join Hayley as well, and I'll wait under the edge if you like to know what your name says about you. Okay, now I know quite a few Hayleys.
Starting point is 00:29:53 So maybe I could do this, but it is on the spot, boys. Okay. Okay. I say Hayley is smart, but she sometimes says things that come across really, really dumb. A bit like you. Yeah, a little like me. I would say it could be a Hayley.
Starting point is 00:30:06 She doesn't think before she talks. Well she'll just say something and it's always like nobody would laugh at her. They always laugh at her like classic Hayley to say something like that and then she'll like she's actually really intelligent. Hayley are we giving Meg the point for that? Does that sound true? No I don't think so. She never says anything dumb.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Okay for one she's got two more assumptions about you Hayley. No, I don't think so. She never says anything dumb. Okay, for one, she's got two more assumptions about you, Hayley. I think Hayley is a real avid animal lover. If she sees a cat, she'll stop and leave the group to go and pet the cat sort of vibe. And kneels down and talks to it and stuff. 100% all day, every day. Okay, okay, okay. And something else about Hayley's.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Hayley always brings a packed lunch to work. She's always free. She's always got a packed lunch girl. She's got a tupperware, she's always got planned lunch and she's like there at it. She made it the night before, always organized. What a fella, we're all going for a walk to go get sushi. She's got a packed lunch.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Hayley's like nah. She's like, oh, I made a really nice salad last night. I've got it here, yeah. Meg? Yes? You could not be more right if you tried. She's got a pale is that not just I made a really nice cell last night of growing. Yeah Meek yes, you could not be more right if you tried Anything done that was that was I was warming up was warming up. Okay. Yes. Okay. What's for lunch today, then? We have got chicken with steamed vegetables, roast pumpkin and a persimmon. Oh my goodness, man. And that's Hayley for you. Hayley's always got the good lunch in the lunch room.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Good on ya, Hayley. Alright, Hayley, we're gonna send you a double pass to our must see movie, Bring Her Back. It's in cinemas on Thursday. So you enjoy that. Someone's sex through saying Rachel's are quite often 100% always annoying. Rachel's are annoying. Send to Rachel's. Alright, well if you would like to know what your name says about you,
Starting point is 00:31:46 because they reckon one in three people will judge someone based on their name before ever even meeting them. Give us a call. I'll wait 100 years. Dan and I will have a crack at it and see if we can beat Meg's score of two from three. I don't think we're going to be as good as Meg Clinton. Yeah, tricky. She's... She's... Judging people. She is. You see our group chat, she's always judging. Oh god, don't say that dad.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's a terrible thing to say. What are you saying about Casey the Boss? Oh god. That's a mech thing, they're all mechs today. It's not. What does your name say about you? One in three people will assume things about you just by knowing your first name. Yeah, that's it, that's it.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And it's scary and stuff when naming a child, so I'm going through some names and seeing what, if these things are right, these assumptions are real. Out of interest Meg, how do you choose a name, you and your husband, Guy? Have you got that app, that Tinder app, where you can swipe names and it matches? Everyone told us to do that,
Starting point is 00:32:40 but told us really, really late. So like we only found out about that app like two weeks ago yeah basically it was me sending my husband lists of names every single day for about six and a half months and then he would go no no no no maybe no and then I'd come out with another list the next day and then he'd go oh I like this one I go I actually shit shouldn't have seen you that I don't like it. Bugger. Yeah. That's really hard, I found it so difficult.
Starting point is 00:33:07 It's so tough. The first time around was super easy with Daisy, we agreed straight away, that was locked in. This time it's been a lot harder, yeah. Alright, let's go to the first person, Nicola. Clint, I won't go to her yet, but you have your first assumptions, mate. Okay, my first assumption is Nicola is
Starting point is 00:33:24 one of those people who's always wanted to be a mum and other people will call her for motherly advice. Like her friends will be like, oh call Nicola because she'll know. Okay, Nicola? Yep, that's probably about right. I would say, I would say, Clint, that's a bit of a cheat because the text does say my daughter is Zoe. Oh, she's going to be in her shit mum. She wouldn't self admit it though. Oh, she could have been her shit mum. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:45 She wouldn't self admit it though. Okay, okay. Number two. Okay, Nicola doesn't but would always, has always wanted to move out to the WAPS, like out to a farm with like lots of land and being away from the city and raise her kids with her neighbours way, way, way down the road. Chickens and cows and stuff. Yeah, yeah. That's quite a specific one.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah, I like that. Hmm? Yeah? No! She's so true! We're not taking our... Nicola, we can't take that. Okay, come on, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:13 It has to be something that is so you. Okay, your partner says we're moving to the farm tomorrow. Are you stoked or not? No. No, okay. Thank you, Nicola. You were trying to... Okay, final one. You can still get to pay someone. Okay, final one.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You can still get equal Clint. 2 out of 3. I think Nicola wears glasses so she looks smarter than she really is. Oh no. I would disagree. Oh I do wear glasses. Yes! Hey!
Starting point is 00:34:38 Wow! Okay, 2 out of 3. Congratulations. Nicola is apparently wear glasses and are good mums. Okay. And they dabble with the idea of moving out into the country. Nicholas apparently wear glasses and a good mums. Yeah, I'm doing Romeo. And they dabble with the idea of moving out into the country. Nicholas does not want that, he's not dabbling. Okay, so Dan you've got Romeo, your first assumption is?
Starting point is 00:34:53 I think Romeo is romantic. There we go, there we go. Romeo loves being romantic. Would that be a close assumption, Romeo? Yeah, I I try my best You've got the name you would have to lean into that What you think someone I think you the thing about Romeo is you wouldn't want to be around him if he breaks up with the missile for God's sake
Starting point is 00:35:25 Yeah Like, I said we, I said we. Yeah, it would cut him deep. Yeah, I guess that could be true. Yeah, okay. I think that could be true. I've been with my partner for a long time now. Yeah, exactly. He said that could be true. And also, I feel like he's doubled down. He's gone romance like twice. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:36 Okay, well I'll go something completely different. Give it to me, and then I'll go something completely different next. So I'm two for three. Okay, two for three. Okay, and finally, I'm not gonna go down the Romeo and Juliet angle here. I'm gonna say Romeo. Okay, two for three. Okay, and finally I'm not gonna go down the Romeo and Juliet angle here. I'm gonna say Romeo, you're a car guy.
Starting point is 00:35:51 No way. No! Damn it! I was so sure of it. What do you drive Romeo? I'm driving a BMW at the moment and I love cars. Oh wait. Wait, hold on, what?
Starting point is 00:36:04 But he said you're a car guy and you said no. But did he mean like no way you've got it? No, sorry, I meant no way, like I didn't believe that you got it right. Four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, four, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, three, He's romantic, he's romantic and he likes cars. Who would have guessed it?
Starting point is 00:36:22 You get him, Mick, get him. Thanks for having me. You guys are just jealous that you Meg, get him. Thanks Romeo. You guys are just jealous that you got two from three. Come on. Hey, we'll give you a voucher, go spend in stores and zed Romeo if you hold there bro. Because Dan did manage to win. Romeo.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, I reckon him and I could be best friends. We're both romantic and like cards. He's one of the best broadcasters in the game. Oh thanks Clint. Mike Hosking Asterix joins us on the show to wrap up the weekend that has been. Yeah I think he's got a new sigma where he pops up from News Talk ZB in
Starting point is 00:36:50 his Maserati just to give us a breakdown of what happened over the weekend in the news. Yeah he must have to drive fast to leave his own show to be here and then jump back in the car. That's why he's got a Maserati Clint. Oh good. Alright cool. Clint. Megan Dan. Alright Mike Hosking joins us in studio to wrap up the week. Yeah. The end that was. Why, why do you come in here Mike? Well, you know that I'm the best broadcaster in the country and it just makes me feel better
Starting point is 00:37:11 about myself to come up here and broadcast with a couple of the worst. Right. Hit some music Clint. Okay. We kick things off this week with the biggest cock teasers in sport. Yes, the Warriors notching up a loss against the Raiders last night in Auckland. This season is shaping up to have more ups and downs than that Kim Kardashian homemade movie she made all those years ago with Ray J. We should have sent those little sissy boys
Starting point is 00:37:34 back to Canberra to cry to their mummies, but instead it was us calling our mummies. But you may think I'm being negative. I still think it's our year. We're still in the top three and if all else fails and we eventually lose, we can do what I always do, blame Jacinda Ardern and the Labour Party. In other news, yesterday marks 32 years since the start of my favourite TV show, Shortland Street. Since its arrival on our screens in 1992, there In 1992 there have been 7,612 episodes of pure unadulterated drama. Earthquakes, murders, cheating scandals, even volcanoes have all struck Ferndale over the years. But there's no better moment than this.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Please tell me that is not your penis! Ah yes, what an iconic line. Funnily enough, my first girlfriend once said the exact same thing to me as we're about to make love. Sadly for her, it was, in fact, my penis. Then finally, speaking of disappointment, this year's budget was released this week. I know most people's brains are much smaller than mine, so I've broken it down into three key takeaways. Point one, if you're struggling for money, chances are you're still going to be struggling for money. Point two, if you're a woman, chances are you're still going to be struggling for money. Point two, if you're a woman chances are you're still going to be a woman and
Starting point is 00:38:49 sadly paid less than men. But there is one silver lining yes and it's good news rich people like me can now get richer easier which means I can probably now afford another Maserati which is always good news isn't it? I might even have some leftover for some lovely Balenciaga boots. Exciting stuff. I'm Mike Oski, News Talk ZB. Happy days. Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Mike. He leaves the studio pretty quickly. See you guys.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah, okay. There he goes. Yeah, yeah. Bye, Mike. And then Dan comes back in. Yeah. You know, I get really nervous, boys, because we don't see Mike Oski not obviously much apart from when he pops into see us me and Newclint but he's gonna be at the Radio Awards in a few weeks and that makes me nervous.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah Dan, I know you don't like me in the same room as him but I think you're gonna have to be at the Radio Awards. We like ships in the night usually Mike and I. Yeah but there's no avoiding him there. You do a pretty good impersonation of him though so if we do one at the Radio Awards you could go up and do an impression there. I could never. I could never.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Yeah, give it a go now. Could you do one? Not on the spot, I genuinely can't. It just makes me nervous. Are you sure? Yeah, no, no, definitely not. Why costking? That doesn't work, doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, right, okay. Clint, Megan, Dan. I'm actually in the middle of figuring this out myself, Dan, at the moment, because you're about to say how much money should you have saved if you were to lose your job, right? And I have had to do that because apart from the government pay, we don't have a maternity leave package here at MediaWorks, so I've had to save as if I lost my job, and that will equal how much time I have off.
Starting point is 00:40:21 So I kind of know what this feels like, but it's very tough to save the amount. Oh my God, much easier said than done. There's a lady by the name of Ellie Cannell. She's appeared on a podcast talking about how much you should have in your emergency fund. How much should you have saved? Well, ideally, in a perfect world, you should have approximately six months
Starting point is 00:40:39 of living expenses saved in a separate account. Make sure it's out of sight, out of mind. But I know for a lot of Americans out there, having even $1,000 may seem overwhelming in your savings account. So I would start with smaller goals. Start with one month of living expenses. And to figure out how much that is,
Starting point is 00:40:56 you need to list out all those reoccurring expenses that you have, those necessities, whether that's rent or mortgage or car payment, and all those kind of expenses. That's exactly what I've been having to do because as you know I've got a wonderful stay at home husband who doesn't bring in any young income and will be like looking after the baby but I'm still going to have some opportunity to leave off because you know my body needs a break and I would like to bond with my child. So we're going to be on what the government gives us
Starting point is 00:41:22 which I think is about $400 a week, which is obviously not enough. And so we've been having to save outside of that. Is that all it is? Yeah, you get about, after tax and everything, about 400. I think the government assumes that you have saved a certain degree of money.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Yeah. Which is so- Which is what we've had to do. So difficult for a lot of people. Yeah, it depends on whether your workplace has an opportunity to leave kind of situation or not, which we don't. But a lot of people are texting in saying, should I have an emergency fund on top of retirement fund stance?
Starting point is 00:41:50 So it's both, is it? Well, I think in a way, I don't know, I'm not an expert. Well, I think a retirement fund is something that if you lost your job today, you would start drawing on. Yeah, right. I know you allocate for certain things, but it's like, if shit hit the fan today, how much money could you scrape together without going into more debt without having to like remortgage how much is sitting there that you go sweet I'm all good I could pay at least the mortgage for a month two months six months I think most people like me would
Starting point is 00:42:13 say that their KiwiSafe is their retirement fund you know I because oh yeah I mean I couldn't retire my KiwiSafe is I took it out for the yeah you know house deposit but yeah I think you're assuming that when you're 65 or older you know you're gonna have when you're 65 or older, you're gonna have more in there. Okay, so what we've done is actually write down, this is, has Web Girl Ballot done this as well, boys? No, just you two?
Starting point is 00:42:34 We've got Producer Carl, Producer Neep here, Dan, Clint and I have written down anonymously what our emergency funds are and I've got the paper here. And so I don't think we should speculate on who has written this. Oh it sounds like someone's got a really nice number. I think we're going to go into this next and see what happens. Yeah I'd like to hear anyone call through us, or under the age text 3343.
Starting point is 00:42:57 If you're willing to admit how much you've got low or high. Yeah how much is in your emergency fund. And then you may go well I don't have one. Well then what's that number? That's zero then. Yeah you've got zero in your emergency fund? And then you may go well, I don't have one. Well, then what's that number? That's zero then. Yeah, you've got zero in your emergency fund. What is it? If you were to lose your job tomorrow, what could you live off? Dan is actually the only one on the team that I know whose wife has specifically saved for an emergency fund.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I'd be absolutely buggered if I didn't have her. Yeah, we say that all the time. Yes you do. Oh god, yes. How much money should you have saved away in your emergency fund? According to an expert, it's six months worth of expenses. So if you didn't have a job for the next half a year, you could pay your mortgage and your power bill.
Starting point is 00:43:37 And like, if anything goes wrong, think about if something went wrong, the car or the dog or like that's all those little bits and pieces, right? You can save exactly if you are on a budget of what you need for this Powerball and groceries to a point but then something always happens. What about that unexpected stuff? Yeah and weirdly the only person that I actually know who has one of these legitimately is Dan because his wife was like let's put away three months worth of salary and then she was like let's put away six months it's like she knows you could be fired any day now. Oh god, yeah, I think she's expecting it.
Starting point is 00:44:06 A lot of people texted through, thank you very much for coming through with what you've got in your savings account, your rainy day fund. 80K, someone's text through saying it and then untouched account and another 20K. So I've got 100K total. In case of an emergency.
Starting point is 00:44:20 I'd love to know how long it took them to get there. Okay, let's go to Bridget. Bridget, how much do you have in your emergency savings? Hey guys, so yeah, I've only got $2,000 which actually makes me feel really bad now hearing that there are others out there that have $80,000. So yeah, now I've got $2,000 which is, could be more but I'm happy with that. But she said, Bridget, and I think you're doing great, she said start off with a month, then get to two months, then get to three months. And so you slowly build it over time. So I think you're doing great. She said start off with a month, then get to two months, then get to three months.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And so you slowly build it over time. So I think you've done really well. It's better than this text Bridger that just came through saying I've got negative 5,000. So we have all of us here. This is I think everyone in the teams. We're apparently not speculating on who's is who's. Oh you can if you want.
Starting point is 00:45:04 I mean we've written them all on post-it notes but we haven't put our name next to it. Yeah, we haven't. And okay, are we ready to start going through them? Mm-hmm, sure. As a part of the team, somebody has saved for the emergency fund, $0.00. I'd say that's probably Neepier,
Starting point is 00:45:22 who's probably the least paid on the show. Again, you literally said no speculating I know, but he always does You said no speculating He's not wrong though to be fair Alright Dan, again the new game is Dan has to try and guess whose savings it is It's changed now You're making the rules as you go
Starting point is 00:45:39 Okay Damn Somebody has got $38,000 saved. That'll be Clint. As an emergency. Well you would be wrong, Dan, if the gamers can dang-guess. Well it's definitely not me. Must be no...
Starting point is 00:45:58 You've stuffed up there, Clint. Okay. Okay. Well Dan, so you're one from two at the moment with your guessing game Okay, so it's clipped. Okay. Somebody else is eleven thousand dollars saved Who that be Dan? That's Carl. Producer Carl? We're not actually doing this. For God's sake. No, we're not doing this. No speculating. Somebody else is eight thousand five hundred dollars saved for their emergency bus. Bloody hell! Well, it's nothing compared to your 38. Yeah, I'm8,500 saved for their emergency bus. Bloody hell!
Starting point is 00:46:25 Well, that's nothing compared to your 38. Yeah. I'm still 30 grand off what you've got. Don't act all god. You're surprised and impressed by that, Mr. 38,000. I think that was Meg. No, well, you're wrong, that was me. Oh, god, Clint, I thought you'd have more.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Oh, you're a lot of excuses. He doesn't need as much for gas money because he drives a Tesla. Yeah, true. And he spent a lot of it on goldfish expenses. That is true. Somebody has $15,000. Meg.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Oh wow. It's about to all be spent in the Tesla. I'm almost as poor as Neepia. Yeah, no that is... Shame. That is me surviving on no job for a while. And somebody else has $120. And that was me, so amazing.
Starting point is 00:47:04 I'd love to know who was me, so amazing. Who's off? I'd love to know who was the $38,000. Did you just tell Dan to F off? I said piss off. Before that, you said F off, then you changed it to piss off. Did I do that? I wasn't thinking. Did I do that? Well, check that. I probably shouldn't have seen anything if I was the only one that noticed.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Okay, and the fine for swearing on national radio is $8,000. I'm so lucky you've got that saved to me. Alright, well, speaking of money, if you need some and have an expensive weekend, or you don't have a slush fund, or what are we calling it? Experts are saying you need an emergency fund. You can have mine or Clint's basically right away, if you play this little game. 10 grand, I mean it's nothing.
Starting point is 00:47:41 It's chump change compared to how much money Dan's got. It's still... My wife saved it, okay? $10,000, it's nothing, it's chump change compared to how much money Dan's got. My wife saved it, okay? $10,000, it's still something. I didn't contribute at all. Clip, Megan, Dan. Less than 40 days ago, the three of us decided to see how far we could get with no musical experience whatsoever, by forming a band and playing at an actual event. And on Saturday night, Olivia's 40th and RSA that
Starting point is 00:48:06 actually happened. I was worried Olivia was going to be nervous and maybe regret her initial decision to have us play a couple of weeks ago but when we arrived she was very excited. No regrets! No regrets! No I'm so excited! It's going to be amazing! I wasn't nervous until we literally walked in and now I'm like uh oh.
Starting point is 00:48:23 It's going to be great! How many people are going to be amazing! I wasn't nervous until we literally walked in and now I'm like, uh-oh. It's going to be great! How many people, as the passengers, know that we're here and what we're doing? Um... I at least 50, I think.
Starting point is 00:48:36 One point I did, I posted it on my Facebook page. So half of the people who are here have no idea that you've got a real band. That we're not a real band. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was scary. That scared us. 50% of the people who are here who have no idea that you're not a real band. That scared us. 50% of the people in the room didn't know that we weren't actual entertainment in a real band. Yeah, when we walked in, I don't know if you guys noticed, but every set of eyes just went straight to us. And they had the look of, who the hell are these people? Almost, in a way. There were some that were like, oh, these are the guys.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Well, to be fair, Clint and I did wear what we said we were gonna wear in our outfits, and Dan? Well, I was a little bit, and you'll be honest, little bit Hitler-y in my first costume. It was all the facial hair you drew on your hair. So I decided, because it was an RSA, I would change things up slightly. I am the only one wearing the outfit we all agreed to wear.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Oh yeah, I got you changed. I've got my eyeliner, do you want some? Oh yeah, let's go to the bathroom and put some eyeliner on. Oh no. Really? I'm wearing sunglasses. Oh yeah, I was gonna wear sunglasses too, it's a decent purpose.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Now what? But then I can't see my friends, so it's a bit of a like, kind of, do I balance it? Oh god, there's little kids here. Okay, who's nervous now? I went out to a kid before and tried to shake his hand and he walked away. Oh, he doesn't know you're the went up to a kid before and tried to shake his hand and he walked away. Oh, he doesn't know you're the lead singer of a band yet.
Starting point is 00:49:48 He'll shake your hand after. That's so not rock and roll, eh? That sort of stuff doesn't happen to Dave Grohl. Yeah, I think Dave does get his hands shook. Yeah, he does. So, that sort of threw me. So, Clint, you wore eyeliner? Yeah, I wore the eyeliner.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I didn't go with sunglasses inside in the end because I was worried I wasn't gonna be able to see where my fingers went. Dan, you did choose the sunnies. I went with the sunnies inside and they turned the lights down, which made it very difficult to see. Okay, and so we were a little stressy, but then when they were like, all right guys, two minutes, you're on in two minutes,
Starting point is 00:50:17 we decided to just pop out in the hallway and just do one final band meeting. Well, it's not like we haven't been spending every waking minute over the last month and a half preparing for this one song. I mean we've never played in front of people before. Do you know who weirdly makes me the most nervous? Those little kids standing right at the front. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:35 We're in uncharted waters, we've never played in front of more than six people. We're gonna have a nip slip as well so that is something else. I'm nervous for that. But it's rock and roll of it now. And they are big and dark pregnancy nipples. Oh, yeah. There's no mistaking it. Any final words from someone who's actually in a band?
Starting point is 00:50:51 Nah, let's do it. We've practiced hard. This is just the finishing touches. This is all the fun. No, we should be, we should have done the finishing touches. It's just the last little bit. It's the last bit. This is the reward.
Starting point is 00:51:01 This is the fun part. We've built a car where we forgot to put the wheels on. Maybe it's ball be his dick. Don't listen to him. So have fun but don't forget to focus. Yeah, focus. Don't have fun. This is my favourite thing ever. Because I imagine when it's over we'll wish that we could go and do it again. You always say that. I know, so let's pretend this is our second time doing it.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Fongil and Go! Did Meg's nip stay in her top or not? This is our second time doing it. Yeah! Come on guys, let's go! Let's go! Did Meg's nip stay in her top or not? Mm-mm. I haven't seen the video so it could have come out. No! I can't wait actually to see the video to see what exactly happened. Yeah, it could have come out actually. Yeah, you were behind both of us and we never turned around to look at you because we were too busy, you know, trying not to make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Mm-hmm. How long before a mistake was made would you guys say? Not long. Maybe 17 seconds. We took to the stage as a band for the very first time MCDC on Saturday night with only one song this one here. Livia had an incredible celebration of her 40th and requested that we play it and that be our very first gig. One lady actually said to me, so you guys off to do a few more gigs like after this? Hahaha! No, never again.
Starting point is 00:52:13 It was a lovely get together wasn't it though. Lots of lovely people in the room. Espresso martinis were shared. Yeah, yeah, good lighting, good sound. Wow! The rehearsal was great. We did all the run through and it was great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good lighting, good sound. Wow. The rehearsal was great. We did all the run through and it was great. Meg had a different drum set.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Jesus, it was loud. Like, all I could hear was the cymbals. But we were worried Meg wasn't going to be able to adjust from the electrical drum kit to the other one. No, you're a fish in water. Yeah, I did say it was very loud. There's no way to turn down drums by the way. Who do you? So everything was great. We were like, cool, let's go have some dinner.
Starting point is 00:52:54 So we had dinner as a team and then we rocked up, you know, 10 minutes before we were meant to be on. Someone would say a curry's not a good choice before singing. Yeah, very cool. And then we thought we would just pick up where we left off with rehearsal, but it turned out Not all the microphones were working and we weren't aware of that until we were meant to start singing I'm singing here. There's a person in the crowd, they're like, we want more! And then for at least four and a half to five minutes we just sat there while the sound rebooted.
Starting point is 00:53:44 And Dan, you must have said about six times, let's hear it for Olivia, it's turning 40 tonight. I didn't know what else to say. I never met any of the people there. Meg and I just turned around and went back to the crowd. Like we were looking at each other too late and we were just like trying to just not face the crowd and make eye contact.
Starting point is 00:54:02 It was like a spare prick at a wedding, we were spare pricks at a 40th, genuinely. What was it like for you, Carl, because everyone was looking at you, because Carl was the soundie, which Carl has said, all risk, no reward. It was probably the most stressful moment of my life.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Yeah, like the intro playing, which was playing through a different part of the system. And as you guys went to start singing, and I couldn't hear Clint's guitar coming through and I was just looking at the sound desk as it is frozen in front of me and going, holy crap, I want to go launch myself off a bridge. Yeah, typical Saudi blaming the sound desk. Oh, look, hey, you know, if you got the other guy standing with the sound desk, I'll take it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And then we will be bringing you the full song tomorrow. Our web team are chopping up all the video and hopefully making it sound as absolutely, like as brilliant as they possibly can. By web team, you just mean poor old Bella, Alper. Yeah, it was also in the band, so that's why she's had to be in the band and then also edit all the stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Can I just shout out Bella? She was incredible. She was playing keys. She set up the camera. She was directing the shoot, like amazing work. Really, really cool. Well done Bella, we love you. And then at the end... Oh, she also marked up the keys.
Starting point is 00:55:14 At the end, we did this thing where we thought we'd do like actual bands. We rehearsed the crap out of this. We were like, oh, we'll just kind of loop the chorus and then Dan can be like, you guys have been great, let's hear it for Nibia on bass. You know, that's how people do a concert. Bella on keys and everyone had their little solo moment that we were going to do a little show-offy bit. Instead, this is what everyone heard. What is that? It's Carla. The sound guy doesn't know what it is. Happy birthday Olivia!
Starting point is 00:55:48 Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia! Happy birthday Olivia!
Starting point is 00:56:04 And then we just, Carl just ripped the cord out of the back of the speaker that sounded like fireworks were coming out of it. Yeah, it was not, it was not the greatest ending to the steps. Yes, but the middle of it was bang on. Well, hopefully. We haven't heard the audio yet. We've got Bella's still got it, so we'll bring that for you same time tomorrow. The full performance, so three and a half minutes from start to finish yeah now Olivia is waiting on the line but oh yes yes yes yes actually yeah she's dropped off oh god oh god she's gone oh we got a little grab from her after Clint's in here in like a really tight singlet there's gonna be some single
Starting point is 00:56:37 ladies in the back losing their shit about that okay that's not what I thought she was nothing quiet about the actual performance no, I got her kid wrapping up the performance. If you want to hear that. The bit where they messed up was funny. They messed up. They're not even performing right now. Yeah, but when he didn't have his microphone turned on, that was funny.
Starting point is 00:56:58 So funny. What do you think of Clint's outfit? It looks ridiculous. Yeah, it did. Okay well we will bring you the full performance tomorrow on the show and then you can be the judge. Yeah. Yeah kids are harsh eh. I think kids, what do they know? Let's be honest. Clint, Megan Dan. Alright returning to New Zealand next year the Edge brings you... One Republic! One Republic are back!
Starting point is 00:57:33 Feb 14th, Spark Arena. They do an incredible show. Yeah, and you know who's coming with them? Zara Larsson. Oh god! Yeah! I didn't know that. That's going to be a. Oh God. Yeah. I didn't know that. That's gonna be a really fun night.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah. We haven't played much of her new music, but she's got some really fun dance bangers out at the moment. So what is good when they bring a good opener, right? Yeah, it's a great opener. Yeah, it wants to get a two for one sort of DOA. She's really good friends with Navy. Kiwi-eyes.

Incredible lighting and design of the set I remember when I saw them. You know those bands that just put more effort into that? And do you know the ones that don't? The country artists. They don't? They just walk around stage holding their red cup of bourbon and they just don't
Starting point is 00:58:50 really feel like they need to. A little coms did a shoey. You gotta give them that. Brooke from Crosschurch, congratulations. Hello.

It's going to be a hell of a night. Yeah, well you're in Christchurch so you'll have to make a weekend of that and cruise up to Auckland Spark Arena Feb 4th.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Yep, can definitely find some cheap flights. Good idea. You got time? You can get some expensive flights, you've got the free tickets now. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. Who wants to know how to build an affair-proof marriage? Yes please.
Starting point is 00:59:32 This is according to Williard F. Harley. This was published back in 1994. One of my favourite things is going through old op shops or book sales and finding books from the 50s, 60s, 70s. And this one would be 90s and seeing how much times have changed. Interesting because you were always finding these books out. How often do you go into these shops?
Starting point is 00:59:52 My husband also sees them as a gift for me. He always looks out for them if he's out and about and he'll go megal like this. So is this kind of like how to get your partner to not cheat on you or how to not cheat on them? It's both. It's called his needs, her needs. But I'll tell you what, Clint, it does focus a lot on what the woman needs to do. Okay. From the male author. From the male author.
Starting point is 01:00:13 So here are a few things. This is a lovely chapter called, If you don't look good, he won't like you very much. Oh my god. Okay, so we should all be taking notes, but girls should be taking more notes. And he does get into that clint, so don't worry. He does very much so confirm. This is mostly for women. Okay, what I've done is highlighted some of my favorite things straight out of the book. And just checking, this is a, he hasn't written this with a tongue in cheek, he's being serious here.
Starting point is 01:00:39 No, no, this is a very, very much so very serious book that is from Willard about how you can get your partner to not cheat on you, basically. If a man's wife looks bad or even rather mediocre, he will be turned off, in some cases, repulsed by you. So that's some good stuff. Oh, like getting the it customers, you know, that's what they say in the 90s, repulsed. When a man looks at his wife and is disappointed by what he sees, it puts him in a terrible bind, boys. Puts him in a terrible bind, you know?
Starting point is 01:01:11 After she's had kids and stuff. He tends to notice other women, especially nice-looking women, which make him feel guilty, because he doesn't want to have an affair, but you look like that. So it's kind of like this... That was a different breed, wasn't he? They didn't have gaslighting as a term back in the 90s today.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Okay, so this is a little test. If you don't know if your husband's attracted to you ladies, here we go. The test is what he does after he looks at you. If a man looks at you, your husband, even the most sensitive husband, will occasionally fondle your breasts at inappropriate moments if he finds you attractive That's a good little marker. What if you're at the supermarket? Well, it didn't say that just said it just occasionally will happen. So if he doesn't do that, that's not good Not good news Right carrying on from Willard when a white when a man's wife lets herself become unattractive Such a shame about aging isn't it? You know, like... Yeah, if you let yourself go.
Starting point is 01:02:05 If I let myself go. Okay. The message comes across loud and clear. He couldn't get anyone better than you. Wow. He said, I promise, word for word from his book. It's almost like it was written before 94. So here we go. Now we'll be sitting here, we'll be hearing about everything
Starting point is 01:02:20 that the woman needs to do. Do women have any need at all for an attractiveness in their husbands? You sit there and go, surely. If you're going to say that this woman needs to have like perky boobs and stuff, then the husband should also be... But both people are bringing their A game. No, Clint. No, that is incorrect. Oh, we get a pass. Women often fall in love with men who are overweight, homely and sloppy dresses because
Starting point is 01:02:43 of their personality traits like sensitivity and loyalty that attracts them. I can recall a fat balding man who had ugly moles, moles all over his face. Oh sad to people with moles, clinic has moles. I can recall a fat balding man who had ugly moles all over his face and in addition he was 20 years older than his extremely pretty wife. Nonetheless she was crazy about him and they shared a very active sex life. I think he was rich. Instead of looking at him she looked within and found a warm and sensitive man he was kind and generous and caring. His appearance didn't repulse her at all but men do not appreciate a woman for the inequalities.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Oh my god, this book. By the way, if you are listening to The Edge and you're on the way to school kids, this is a book from the 90s and we're laughing because it's actually not the way that you should live your life going forward. That's crazy. I think even the 90s, there was a different way of thinking even then. It's not even that long ago, really. No, no, 30 years ago, this book was written. So that's your first look into his needs, her needs, building a fair-proof marriage.
Starting point is 01:03:49 These are your first tips ladies. She's also got another book, Clint, that she got and Meg just handed it to me before to have a look through. It's got nude pictures of girls stuck into it. Yeah, from the 70s. So that was a... Oh, like someone's turned it into their own scrapbook. Yeah, like they're not even additions to the book.
Starting point is 01:04:04 They literally have stuck scrapbook. Yeah. They're not even additions to the book. They literally have stuck them in. Yeah. Crazy. Alright, well we look forward to Meg bringing us more tips on how to behave and not behave from the 90s. There's a full chapter on what hairstyle you can have ladies, so I'll get into that if you go into the hairdresser anytime. Look forward to it.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Probably a perm in the 90s. The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast. Clint, Meg and Dan scandal. Pedro Pascal. I say it like that because he says it like that. So I just, I just, I think that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. Pedro Pascal, not Pedro Pascal. Pedro. Pedro.
Starting point is 01:04:35 He is the heartthrob of I think the moment, right? He has been for a long time. He's been around a long time, but something about his charisma, his career seems to be even more skyrocketing with, he's got a movie out at the moment, or about to come out with Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, and he's got Last of Us, he was in Game of Thrones. I say it, he'd be an A-lister. I was going to say A, B or C-lister. A-lister at the moment.
Starting point is 01:04:57 B. Yeah, I go B too. Oh, A. No, he's risen to an A. He's risen to an A at the moment. He's A. Everyone knows who Pedro Pescal is. No, but I think his name alone, if you said to someone, oh Pedro Pescal, and they go, oh, who's risen to an A. He's risen to an A at the moment. He's A, everyone knows who Pedro Pascal is. No, but I think his name alone, if you said to someone, oh Pedro Pascal, and they go, oh who's that?
Starting point is 01:05:08 What was he in? No, people still wouldn't be able to, it's not like when you say Jim Carrey and you instantly see his face and you instantly know what movie he was in. Pedro Pascal, you'd be like, oh, is that the guy from? Okay, I shouldn't have mentioned it, he gets lost in it.
Starting point is 01:05:20 He gets lost. Okay, we can't go down that road again. I can't believe you give out the stingiest A's and you've just given him one. Move on Meg, otherwise we'll get stuck in this A-lister B-lister debate. So he was at the movies the other day, I don't know what movie it was, I don't know if it was a big fancy movie and it was you know a screening of something, it probably was, but somebody in the audience was also filming because they noticed Pedro was about to walk past them so they're like filming their faces and what you're about to hear is the overheard conversation that Pedro was having with his friend and he was
Starting point is 01:05:52 not happy about having to walk up the want to go and get? So what you hear him say is Hell no, I'm a lazy 50 year old bougie bitch. That was him complaining to his mate about having to go up the stairs. Do you think he just didn't want to walk past a whole lot of people that would then all stare at him and realize who he was? I don't know, he didn't seem to like have any awareness of it. I think we have an about the fact today, I think Pedro, P-E-D-R-O, we're gonna name it that. Yeah, P-E-D-R-O, if you want to see him walking up the stairs and see that he's obviously
Starting point is 01:06:32 not faking it or, but I think it's funny. But I also do think it's interesting that if you heard Angelina Jolie say, hell no, I'm a 50 year old and I'm a bougie bitch, I'm not walking up these stairs. Could you imagine what it would sound like? Angelina Jolie is not going to watch a movie with members of the public. She's like an A-lister.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Oh God, don't start again on the A-lister. She couldn't. Clint, you get locked up. Honestly, if I was as famous as him though, I wouldn't want to go upstairs by myself. I want to piggyback. But I do find it interesting. Imagine that, you get so famous,
Starting point is 01:07:00 you have to piggyback upstairs for the rest of your life. But I do find it interesting that he does it, we're like, Bedro, how funny, how charming and charismatic. But if a lady were to do that, they'd be like, what? If Chappell Rhone, can you imagine if Chappell Rhone sent... Go ahead, man. I'd push her down the stairs.
Starting point is 01:07:15 See, there we go. Daniel. Daniel, naughty. Yeah, so text Bedro3343 if you liked us there. I like it. I'm not saying it's bad, but it is interesting. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:07:31 And then if that's not enough, check out our OnlyFans podcast, that is. Rova Music Radio Podcasts
