Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on a group chat that should never see the light of day? Congrats, you've found it. This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. The only thing looser than this show is Dan's browser history. It's Clint, Meg and Dan. Kia ora, good morning! It's 1 to 6 on your Monday, we're back another full week, let's see how we go. God, full of it, eh? Full of it this morning. I've said it before and I don't want to say it again. The joys.
Starting point is 00:00:33 But I have said... There you go. Big's mic's not on. Now it is. Well you missed the ditty where I said I'm full of snot and ready to rock. I was sick last week and now you're sick. I wonder, ooh, what happened there? What have you guys been up to?
Starting point is 00:00:50 Smart passion again, Clint. Oh god, you know. Don't tell Guy though. Jeez, Dana's not hot enough to passion Wally's sick. Maybe Wally's not. Wally's now's fine. But like, if you couldn't keep your lips open for like one day Wally's like sick. Meeg, Meeg's got a bit of a sick fetish.
Starting point is 00:01:07 She likes sick boys. The more mucus the better. Yeah. The show today. Goodness me. Yeah, it is going to be a fun show. John Tuker from SheHad is going to be joining us on the show. We might ask him about the band.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Of course being... What do you mean? That's the reason he's coming in. No, he's coming in to promote his gig at spark Oh I've not got that in my questions. Just coming in just to praise us in our musical prowess I thought over the last week. I thought he'd heard the groundswell in the band world. He's like Getting a bit nervous. Yeah, he's getting a bit nervous that she had won't be the biggest band in New Zealand anymore
Starting point is 00:01:43 Yeah, you go serious about this? Have I just got another band to compete with? Or what's going on? Is this a bit of a radio joke band? Yeah. Yeah, so we'll do that before 8 o'clock this morning. My saga to try and get fish, one of the most difficult things you can do in your life. If you're trying to buy a fish for your kid or yourself. Yeah, that continues after 8 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:02:03 And Meg's Subway game. Yes. Week two, nobody got it. Let's see what goes down, big prize. That is a big prize. It's jackpotting every, every day. Did I hear Subway has heard about it too? Yeah, Subway have on board.
Starting point is 00:02:14 I've heard that. Are they actually on board or have they just heard? I've heard that they've heard something about it and they want to offer something pretty cool. Producer Carl. We're in chats with Subway at the moment, but nothing's committed. Okay, so they're dipping their toe in it. We're in, we're in, we're in chants with Subway at the moment, but nothing's committed. Okay, so they're dipping their toe in.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Maybe when we get to the game, will he know what the rumor is? Hmm. They'll be like, no, that's not what we said, it's that we'll then sponsor the bit so we can say exactly what he wants us to say. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:02:38 He's just saying throwback five, keep on moving. Clint is the fifth of the fifth, 25th. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Did you like it when they went acapella and you could hear their raw talent? Oh yeah, Dan. Yeah, their raw singing talent. Meg and I went to see them at the power station in Auckland.
Starting point is 00:02:53 It was two, wasn't it? I thought it was three. I don't think it was, no, it was two. I think it was two. Wait, just two of them. One of them got sick. I think we bought tickets when it was three and then I think one of them dropped out, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Was it just two or maybe I'm getting confused with East Club 2? I thought there were three. Maybe it was three and then I think one of them dropped out didn't they? Was it just two or maybe I'm getting confused with S Club 2? I thought there were three. If you've dropped down from five to three, none of you can call in sick. No, I reckon it can't be two. Three is the minimum I think you can play, like they can play for a five person show. Once there's two it becomes very sad. What do you say to S Club 7 and went down to two? They should, they were supposed to have seven.
Starting point is 00:03:24 They lost like 70, 80 percent of their band. You can't keep touring I don't think then. I remember as well, I think maybe it was in New Zealand, the Sugar Babes came to New Zealand, but only one of them turned up so that's the Sugar Babe. That you can't have plural. Well didn't I think one of the guys from Boyzone and one of the guys from Westlife teamed up and it was Boyz Life.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Boyz Life desperation. And there was just two of them. Brian McFadden and one of the other dudes. Boys Life. It was like 60 bucks maybe? A ticket? Yeah, I thought it was hell of a lot of fun. Yeah, it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Now here's the thing. Would you rather go to a really good Taylor Swift tribute band? Yeah. Or Boys Life and it's just one guy from two different bands? Yeah, because Shannon Beresford, we had on the show last week, she's touring the country at the moment doing a Taylor Swift tribute act. And Clint loved it. Oh yeah, her vocal is like, you know how people do really good impersonations of celebrities? Her voice is just like uncanny similar to Taylor Swift's tone and it was just, yeah, as close as I've ever gotten.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, I see what you're saying Dan. Do you want a really good fake or do you want two of the real ones but they're old and crusty? Yeah, and you almost like going, oh this is just depressing watching them run around the stage in their spisty robes. Yeah, because do the two that have shown up out of the five still have it? Exactly, because I feel like when we went and saw Backstreet Boys, I was blown away by how those boys could still move. Like in their 50s, they had all the dance moves down and they took it seriously, that's why I cared. Fun fact, so my daughter, I took her to Backstreet Boys, that concert Meg's talking about, and we also, just last Friday,
Starting point is 00:04:53 went to the Taylor Swift Tribute Act. And my son had never been to a concert. And so my daughter's telling my son about the concert she's been to, and that was the one thing she referenced about them. She goes, oh, and at the Backststreet Boys one they all took their clothes off. You couldn't see them but they like threw it over the over the screen and you could see they took off all their clothes and their undies.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I was like why does my nine-year-old remember that? Poor Ty because when he's 23 and a radio station does the Gvona, who did you first see in your first concert? He's got Taylor Swift tribute band. No he just stops at Taylor Swift before he goes, tribute actor. He's like, I don't even remember my fingers Taylor Swift but she played Bruce Mason in theatre. Cause I saw my first concert was Michael Jackson so I felt it's a great one to call up for. Who's the favourite? You've been so young. Yeah I was about seven.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Are you coming to Auckland? You're right in the wheelhouse. Who's the favourite child in the Randall household? The one that went to Dua Lipa and Backstreet Boys or the one that went to a tribute act of Taylor Swift? Hmm. I wonder. Tricky. Karen, my daughter's been a little spoiled. She's done Ed Sheeran Pink.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Dua Lipa and Pink. Ed Sheeran! And Ty's only had Taylor Swift. He's never been to any! He falls asleep at like seven on the dot. He's only a year younger. I know, but it's almost like Ty ironically is short for tired because he always falls He never do any! He falls asleep at like 7 on the dot He's only a year younger I know but it's almost like Ty ironically is short for tired
Starting point is 00:06:09 Because he always falls asleep after 7 He wouldn't withstand a 9.30 concert No wonder he falls asleep his life's so boring Scandal with Meg That's me boys It's Lady Gaga's centerpiece I wasn't talking about Dan People are like I wonder who that'll be to me boys. Lady Gaga did an incredible show in Brazil there are some amazing things that have come out of it for one if you want to see the crowd because your eyes won't believe
Starting point is 00:06:39 it unless you've seen this footage mayhem 23343. Actually I've got a bit of audio here of what she sounded like live, incredible. ["I'm Off The Deepest"] Incredible, I guess she's playing piano as well as she is Now there's There's like good and bad stories that have come out of this So I'm gonna do the bad story first And I'm gonna end on the good story cause then we can see that like love won or you know good won
Starting point is 00:07:16 because um some a couple of Brazilian people were thwarted by police and taken into custody after a bomb attack they had planned on that crowd. So they had hired miners to carry out coordinated attacks using improvised explosives and Molotov cocktails. Miners do you mean people that go underground or young children? Young children.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Oh right, okay. Yeah, not particularly. I don't think it was an underground attack. No, but I thought they might dig under the crowd. Right, well that would make sense. I don't know if they would dig in, but they were definitely too young. And not minor birds. No, no. Just to cover all that. But how crazy, how different, I mean thank god for the police, really, because how crazy how different the story would have been this morning.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Totally, actually. You know, like if that actually happened it would have only been tragedy. All you would remember from that night was tragedy. But Lady Gaga did do a post and I just wanted to read some of the words from it saying, Nothing could prepare me for the feeling I had during last night's show. The absolute pride and joy I felt singing for the people of Brazil. The sight of the crowd during my opening song took my breath away. Your heart shines so bright and your culture is vibrant and special. I hope you know how grateful I am to have shared this historical moment for you.
Starting point is 00:08:20 2.5 million people came to see me sing. 2.5 million people came to see me sing. 2.5 million people came to see me sing. The biggest crowd for any woman in history. Which I couldn't believe that was just a woman fact, but I think maybe Michael Jackson or somebody's had it. Dan, you can do it in the background. I wish I could share this feeling with the whole world. I know I can't, but I can say this.
Starting point is 00:08:40 If you lose your way, because she did for a bit, did she not? Like Lady Gaga, we thought maybe she was dumb well you know it No Rod Stewart has the biggest one and Brazil as well 94 3.5 million Wow Man Brazil love to go out for a free gig. Yeah, isn't it crazy? They like to party a don't they in Brazil? We share the planet with people who would try and like murder People who are just going to enjoy music and have a free night out and then there are people going how do we destroy that and bring terror into people's lives. Some people just want to watch the world burn. which I think is amazing because truly, if I told you guys two years ago, maybe even three years ago, Lady Gaga would have a concert for 2.5 million people,
Starting point is 00:09:29 there's no way we would have believed it. Yeah, I think maybe because we just thought she was going to quit music like Rihanna and go just do movies. She seemed to really enjoy it when she did Star Wars. I will say this because it was a long audience, it wasn't like it was wide, so you could all see the stage. There was, it went back very, very fast, so you were only really watching on a screen, weren't you,
Starting point is 00:09:49 for most of it. A lot of the people. Have you seen any negative this whole story? Have I? I just said that Rod Stewart's got 3.5. I was quite positive about it. Yeah, he's just talking about the man. Oh, negative baby, just like talking about Batman
Starting point is 00:10:02 and saying that you wouldn't have even heard anything. Can you imagine dad, that everybody's joyful, joyful and dad's like can't really see it. Can't even bloody see it. I paid nothing for that. You paid nothing. You get what you pay for. I want my money back. I believe I have a line here.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Can you please pad for me? Yeah sure. Thank you for one second. Rod Stewart's concert. It was 3.5 million in Rio de Janeiro. We already know both of those things. I'm padding. That was in 1994, Clint. Leave me to pad.
Starting point is 00:10:32 We want to play Get to Know You Next. We've got a voucher that you can spend in store at Zed. Just give us a call. I'll wait under the edge. That is what we are doing next. But first... First, when flights are combination in tickets to see Lady Gaga live in Sydney. I wish you'd read that first. Serendipitous. Would have been synergy would have been nicer off the back of the story. Listen for Gaga, it's time between nine and three.
Starting point is 00:10:51 TheHentotheEdge.rova.nz to get in the draw if you want to be one of those people that could go for free like the people of Brazil.

We'll hit you with a question, try to assume your answer and we'll give you the closest ones. Alright, the person that we're giving to show this morning is Tegan. Tegan works in traffic control, drives a Mazda XLR, is a...
Starting point is 00:11:27 Oh Virgo, Virgo, that's just produced a car spell in it wrong. I think the star sign is Virgo. Are you a Virgo Tegan, is that what he means? I am a Virgo. Partnering with her, who have been living together for just over a year, her nickname is Teapot. And she wants to program during a a headstand playing a drinking game. Oh, interesting person. Teags?
Starting point is 00:11:48 Hey, how's it going with your partner? Moving in together is a big step. Oh, good. Yeah, it was pretty fast, but it's been slow sailing. So how long were you dating? Oh, no. That's going to be the question now. Okay, how long have they been dating before they've moved in together?
Starting point is 00:12:03 All we have the clue is it was pretty fast. Okay, how fast? I'm going to say three months. Three months and then moved in together. I'm going to go six months. Because after a year you go it's not fast. Wait, can I ask Tegan, is your partner a male or female? Male. Okay, because females move in very fast. Or you've locked in your table.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Lesbian speed. Or you're thinking of lightning speed. You know, lesbian speed is very you're thinking of lightning speed. You know lesbian speed is very quick to move in. What's faster lightning or lesbian? Sometimes you don't know. I think the Concord went lesbian speed. I'm sticking with three months anyway. No, I think taking a year is still early because maybe he's got in her head and gone,
Starting point is 00:12:43 wow it's only been a year, that's pretty soon. So even though you got, what'd you go three months, Dan went six months? I've got a year, I still think he has pretty quick. I moved in with Hannah after a year, that's not quick. Really? Okay, all right, Tegan, who was closest? The three months was closest.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Hell yeah! Wow, so how quick was it? It was about three and a half, four months was close. Hell yeah! So how quick was it? It was about three and a half, four months Mark. Wow so what was the urgency to like move in together? I was in a pretty awful flatting situation and he had a one bedroom. I was like yeah I'm gonna move out because yeah okay cool you can come and live with me. Oh that's nice and. And it's worked out. You've been living together for just over a year. So obviously, you know, it paid off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:29 There's not anything that he does that now that you're living with him, you're like, oh, that's a bit gross. I didn't know the need to know that already, but cool. Not gross, but frustrating. He puts the toilet roll on the wrong way. Oh, not anymore. I said that the worst.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Why, why, why? Wait, wait, does he do it the wrong way? Is he doing it over or under? He does it under. Yeah, he's doing it wrong. Yeah, it's the wrong way, it's the wrong way. It's the wrong way, absolutely. We're team two here.
Starting point is 00:13:51 But hold on, what if you just don't care? Well then if you don't care, then do it the way your partner wants it. It's just the right way. It's just the right way to do it. I think Hannah and I just do it whatever. No, oh, that's madness. It's like a clown house in your place. A clown house, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:04 That's what it's like No, that's madness. It's like a clown house in your place. A clown house. Yeah, that's what it's like. We wear big shoes and we have a red nose. You don't know which way the toilet paper's gonna be at any point. Hey T, can you hold there and we'll give you a voucher then go spend in store at Z, all right?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Thank you. You're very welcome. You can join Z rewards on the Z app. Fill up a few discounts, points and treats and they've also still got their new cheeseburger pie you can get amongst if you're feeling a little peckish on the way into work this morning. Love that. Next on the show, what you got? A few things we need to put on your radar including the luckiest lotto shop in New Zealand. Yeah do you live near it? Could you, this particular lotto shop shop in fact it's not the luckiest but are one of the top five sold four winning tickets over the weekend
Starting point is 00:14:48 It's Clint Megan Danz All right, what you got Meg Yeah, actually Lorde has done it. We're just talking about before she has done it again She has gone to number one on the NZ top 40 for the first time in four years that somebody's been at number one That is a Kiwi actually she lasted 2017 with green light I remember the first time I heard this because the first time I heard it was the second and the third time I heard it back to back to back Remember that you got to you got to go and listen to it first
Starting point is 00:15:21 It's before I joined the show they like took us into a room like, guys, Lord's got a new song. Yeah, I was so jealous. We had to listen in this room, and we're all just standing there, all kind of staring at each other, just silently for three minutes, for 30. And then it ended, and then the music label goes, right, I think you really need to hear it a second time to really get an essence of it. And then they just started the song and played it again. And we stood there for another three hours.
Starting point is 00:15:46 It's all about standing around in silence with a group of people listening to a song. Especially when they're expecting you to like love it. It's really hard. Then 23 years, we didn't have an NZ artist on top. And then 2020 LAB did it within the year. And then very quickly after that, a few months later, Josh 685 and Jason Derulo. Oh yeah, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:16:08 And then a few months later again, L.A.B. again, Y.O.Y. And then 2021, a few months later, 660, all she wrote. Droughts and nothing in four years. The Kiwi is not being on top since Lorde released What Was That. That's sad eh, because I think New Zealand used to like, you've just listed all those people that have been number one. Even before that, there was so many like, you'd Dane Rumbles and like that kind of... Yeah, but they didn't really go to number one before Lorde's Green Light. It was two years with Avalanche City. And before that it was 2014 with Timmy Trumpet's Savage. So we had a really great year of between 2020 and 2021 every few months.
Starting point is 00:16:47 It was a new Kiwi artist. Let's get back to those levels. Agree. Alright, why you should care about the Warriors this season after nine rounds the Warriors in their 30 year history have never had a better start to an NRL season than they have this year proving if it was ever going to be our year the chances of it actually being our year is this year. This is the sort of win you can build a season on the Warriors they're 6th win of the year they haven't had to play as hard, dig as deep as they have here at Magic Ground what a performance.
Starting point is 00:17:20 So Warriors sitting second equal but technically third on points differential in the league of 17 teams. Was this predicted Clint that we were going to be this good? I mean you can usually hear a buzz around the start of a season like we've got all the players there. If anything there were excuses because we've got still like three of our starters still injured and have been out for a number of weeks so we were like oh are we going to drop points and we haven't? Speaking of winning, Lotto, there was four, what would we call them? $17,000 tickets sold at the same store in Ashburton over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Woolworths Ashburton sold, yeah, $17,000, 357, four tickets. And they're all one in the same store. Probably like second division. Yeah, which is incredible. That like the chances of one Lotto second division. Yeah, which is incredible. The chances of one Lotto store selling four of them is pretty crazy. But it is not the luckiest in New Zealand. The luckiest Lotto store in New Zealand apparently is Unikem,
Starting point is 00:18:15 Storford Lodge Pharmacy in Hastings. They have sold over the years, and they claim to be the luckiest Lotto store in New Zealand, 49 winning First Division tickets. Over the years. So if you're in Hastings, go to that store. I would also love to know the stats behind, do they also just sell the most because people have known that they...
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, once you start getting ahead... Do they just sell more? Yeah, then it's hard to catch you because quantity and... Like if I was in Hastings, just for work or whatever, I I just go to the shop just to get a lotto ticket I buy like three and I wonder if it's gonna be hard to like take over that step because now a lot of people just buying them online and that as well and that'll become more and more prevalent I suppose I always try and get them at a store like a physical ticket I mean if I was in Hastings I'd be buying one yeah yeah for
Starting point is 00:19:00 sure I mean you know also that's probably the more people that buy them but I would be going there. So 49 times if you've had a ticket in Hastings and they're going, hey, first division winner from Hastings. You'd be like, oh, you'd think it was you. You'd be like, oh my god, it is me. And there's a list of five of the luckiest stores in New Zealand, which I'll have for you after eight o'clock this morning. All right, cool. Stick around. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Let's go. You might have missed this one on Friday. And so Dan was like, can we please play it again? Can we please play it again? Yeah, I came in this morning and I was like, guys, I just want more attention. Yeah. And every morning we just normally say, no Dan, not today, but today's your day. And fair enough. It's Jira's latest, dropped on Friday, old phone. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:19:45 When we first heard it, and I think we can all agree, we sort of heard the clips and we're kind of like, it sounds a bit naff. Like the way he's sort of written a song about finding an old phone in a drawer. But then we played it and shit, it's good. It is good. It's good, eh? It's good, he just knows he's got the formula of a catchy little ditty. I mean, he's been running long enough, you'd think he'd have the formula by now.
Starting point is 00:20:03 But then it turns out maybe the formula's not. Maybe the formula's not... He's done his bed mass. That's one for my nerds. It's not hard to replicate but it is hard to just start without each other doing it first. Because we wouldn't have thought of doing a song like this and it being successful. But now that he's done it you're like, oh I could do that. But you didn't do it first.
Starting point is 00:20:24 He's a good tugger. like he'll tug on your heartstrings right okay you know like he'll you know well from one good tugger to another this was Dan's version I'm not talking about a heartstring though that's the problem My old phone today, haven't used it since 2008 Plugged it into a USB-A and charged up the battery again Open up my browser history, what was I Googling when I was 16? Two girls, one cup, could not be unseen Really put me off ice cream I hadn't heard of private browsing
Starting point is 00:21:18 Most of the things I searched arousing Oh, I begin to start regretting Taking this trip down Red Jubilee Oh God, man Photos of my cat in her bed She's not with us, she's now dead Cause my mom ran over her head Accidentally with the car True story
Starting point is 00:21:50 I found my old phone today My favorite podcast was Dom and JJ On the edge back in the day Who knew that my Pudu was gay? I found my old phone today. And thank you very much, Neeps, as well, on the guitar there, accompanying Dan. Dan has not gotten that good in two weeks on the guitar as we start our band, MCDC. If anybody was being like, oh god, he's got on guitar too. No, not me.
Starting point is 00:22:25 The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. We have a podcast that you can check out, just text the word podcast to 3343. It'll be a recap of this show, and then there's also another one which we call the OnlyFans, and it's a little bit more like the Wild West. We can get away with stuff that we can't get away with
Starting point is 00:22:39 on the air. Also free, they're both free. Yeah. Dan did something on Friday, we sort of built up to it last week. For free. He then turned around and said, oh good one, if I do this, this will be the reason I can't run for Prime Minister. You know what?
Starting point is 00:22:57 I have done a few things that could come out that they'll go when I'm running for the leader of the Labour Party. Labour Party? Pass off! Okay, act. Dan, Dan! Wow, okay. But you know what, it'd come out and they'd go,
Starting point is 00:23:13 he can't be Prime Minister because he pretended to give birth to a bowling ball, or whatever it was. Right. Yeah, now we actually can't say what it is because the boss only let us do it on the OnlyFans podcast if we promised to never bring it on the air. And when we say let us do it Clint's idea
Starting point is 00:23:30 and producer Carl's when you say let us do it I'd beg for it to be done. And to be fair Meg yes you're right you and I were just passengers in this little train that is to click Randall. No you opened your mouth and said something and then I was like oh let's see if you can do that and so producer Carl went and made an apparatus for you to prove it. Anyway, we're gonna be talking riddles. All I will do is play you a couple of clips. It started not fun. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. And then there was absolute euphoria with the team when this happened. Listen to Web Girl Ballet.
Starting point is 00:24:04 Can hear her. She goes the hardest at this happens. Listen to Web Girl Ballet, you can hear her. She goes the hardest at the beginning. A butter chicken. Ah, absolute scenes, we all had a great time. Yes, Dan, you can't run for Prime Minister anymore, but hell of a good time. I was talking about it with my wife. Yeah, for the weekend.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Now, Gary's text through, and he said this, he's obviously listened to the podcast in question. He said, listen to a couple of your guys' OnlyFans podcast yesterday. Boy oh boy, you guys are good. Now I don't know. I don't think he actually listened to the podcast though. He said, cause he's just talking about hearing us,
Starting point is 00:24:39 but Ruby did. She said, oh, I was very unsure about the lead in, but God, it was good. Loved it. Yeah, even comments. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, even comments on our podcast fan page on Facebook. They've said, I loved every single minute of that podcast. It's a shame it's a one-off. Yeah, but you know when you're in it,
Starting point is 00:24:55 it's like they're all in it with us and they've been in it with us for years. It's the, it's, it's, we're trying to get more people to like us. And I feel like- I'm sure, I'm okay with who we've got. Shelly said, seriously, one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed. Another one, Maria, seriously you can't make this shit up, absolute gold.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Gary did listen Meg, he said I did listen. Oh sorry, oh wow, Gary. Yeah, so shush. Oh my god, the things you guys do, absolutely outstanding. Amanda says, Radio Award worthy for sure, this should have been on air. So thankful though to have heard it Thank you guys. Okay. Shelly says I'm dying Kelly I couldn't stop laughing while I was out walking the dog
Starting point is 00:25:31 There's just some of the reviews if you haven't heard Fridays only fans podcast text podcast to three three four three We'll bounce it back to you make it nice and either link send straight to your phone and you can listen to Fridays Fridays onlyans podcast. This is the last one we've, no that's the- After you've listened, you'll go, God, Dan took one for the team there. He really did. Yeah, he was a team player.
Starting point is 00:25:52 He might also feel a little sorry for me to just be involved with this environment. I don't know, you were one of the eager honours in the end, Meg. Yeah, okay, well, if you listen to that podcast, you'll find out what the reason is that Dan, I agree with you, Dan, can never run for Prime Minister because this video would come out
Starting point is 00:26:08 and no one would take you seriously. And Paul's text, and this is the truest text I've ever read, Friday's podcast was one of the most cooked bits of content I've ever heard in a long time. So it wasn't great. Okay, now we'd like to move on from that, and our boss is probably like fuel, and ask you, why can you never be Prime Minister? What's that
Starting point is 00:26:25 one video or that one thing that you did where it's like if anyone finds out and that got public it had ruined me so I just have to keep my head down and not stand up too high. Yeah I dressed up as a pub once. For? A party. But what did he had to start with P? Yes. Was like Paul's birthday or something? No, yeah, it was just, yeah. How did you dress up as a pub? I'd love to see a photo. Oh, I've made sure they're all deleted. Oh, I think I'm picking up what you're putting down.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Okay, and we wanna know, why can you never be Prime Minister? What is that video that'll come out or that story that'll resurface if you decide, oh yeah, I might become the person who's in charge of the whole country and what everyone does and doesn't do. Yeah, there's people texting through, no one yet has called.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I'm trying to get a few of these texts on. This one, I dressed up as Denzel Washington for a party in 2008, I'm white. There's photos online. Now, back in 2008, there was people did it. You know, like it was a thing. It probably wasn't great. It wasn't right.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah. But nowadays, I think there is a lot more accountability from people going, ah, excuse me, sorry mate, you don't do that. Whereas maybe back then there are less people doing that. There's a video of me sliding down the slide at R&V naked. I'm currently at law school and no one's going to remind me. Imagine. Yeah, because then you're right, if you wanted to run for prime minister, they'd be like, wait, is this you?
Starting point is 00:27:48 I thought you'd get away with that. If you were like, I was in my early 20s and I was having fun and whatever, I lived my youth, I understand how, you know, young people like to party. But now, but can you imagine if there was a video of Christopher Lux sliding down in his youth when he had hair and stuff? Like, I'd watch that. Yeah, if anything, it might actually attract the youth. Yeah, they might relate to it more.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Oh, you actually are or were like us. Dan did something on our OnlyFans podcast on Friday last week that will be the reason he can never run for prime minister. If you haven't heard that podcast, you don't know what we're talking about, you can text podcast at 3343. What about this one?
Starting point is 00:28:25 There's a video of me pashing my sister for 200 bucks. Got a hundred each. Wow. I mean, 200 bucks, it depends where. Meg's face. Meg's got her mouth wide open. No Meg, I'm not offering the deal to you and your brother too.
Starting point is 00:28:39 As the only person, as the only person on the show with a sibling that's of the opposite sex, I can't, there's no money you could pay me and my brother hook up. No money. Oh god I would! A million! No I wouldn't hook up with my brother for a million bucks. Oh I'm not a million!
Starting point is 00:28:51 No I wouldn't. Your husband would be 11. It's not worth the therapy. Your husband would be 11. Oh my husband can go and hook up with his brother then. Honestly I don't, I'm not... I'd hook up with my brother for a million bucks. You'd hook up with your brother for a million bucks.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I'd hook up with literally anybody for a million bucks. I'd hook up with literally anybody for a million bucks. I'd run it past Hannah first, my wife, and then she said, I'd be pissed off if she said no. Because Hannah, we're renting. We could buy a house. Okay. Why can you never be Prime Minister? A couple of late texts coming through from people saying there's a video of me online doing a keg stand and a mini skirt
Starting point is 00:29:24 and now work in HR at a large corporate company. And our friend Smell Hole or Shelly Cole as she's known Christianly, she texts through saying I went on a bungee jump a few years ago, got dipped in the water and it pulled my top off. She says, I'll finish the text, tits out for all to see, video and pics online. Yeah, if the Prime Minister's got a topless video, that does not bode well. Oh, I love you Shelly, you've got the greatest stories. Clip Megan Dan, Scandal.
Starting point is 00:29:53 When flights are a combination of tickets to see Lady Gaga live in Sydney, listen for a Gaga song between nine and three, they head to theedge.rova.nz to get in the drawer. Talked about this earlier in Scandal, our performance to 2.5 million people in Brazil. Oh, crazy. The most, um, so do I. The most people to ever, um, was she the female with the largest live audience in the world of all time? Yeah, 2.5 million.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Rod Stewart, for those playing at home, is the male with the most attendees. But I mean, any free gig with an artist that is half decent, you'd go wouldn't you? Yeah, but in the millions, that's next level. It's less than a month to go before Miley Cyrus' new album, Something Beautiful, comes out. She'll be going to the Met Gala today by the way. I always love the Met Gala, although it's been feeling a bit icky these past few years. It's fairly like Hunger Games dystopian with how much people are like struggling and the world struggling and then you have very rich people dressing up oddly in very rich clothes. It just feels very Hunger Games to me now but I also like the fashion so I don't know which one I'm on.
Starting point is 00:30:56 But Marley Cyrus has performed a new song it's gonna be I'm guessing her next single it's called More To Lose and she did it in a room where she said there were even a couple of X's in here. A lot of people that I've known and loved for a very longad from a woman. Maybe now that Adele's walked away. I wish it wasn't true Well maybe now that Adele's like walked away There's a gap in the market and let's be honest And Gaga's gone back to pop, you know like pop pop And Miley's no stranger to a ballad, the Climb, one of the greatest ever You know like so I think she can do it
Starting point is 00:31:59 She can write a great breakup song too Miley's a really good breakup song artist so I'm really excited about that It's called More To Lose. Coming up probably really soon because it's a month to go for the album. Clint, Meg and Dan. Stinky Boop. Subway in case. All right, Subway may have even heard about
Starting point is 00:32:15 your little Subway gay Meg. There are conversations happening at Subway that I'm not allowed to talk about. I'd hope they don't want to come on board. It literally is all around them and the fact that you can order whatever the hell you want, which is what this woman did. It's great for their business.
Starting point is 00:32:29 So only three ingredients, which has kept Meg up at night, and now it's keeping us up at night as well. Here are some of the guesses in the past. Grated mozzarella, cheese and olives. Spinach, carrot and olives. Mozzarella. Olives. And jalapeno.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Mozzarella, tomato and garlic. Jalapeno. Now all of those sound awful, but I think it has to be an awful tasting sub to have stuck with Meg as long as it has. You know we did cash trap a few weeks ago where people were winning cash? This is getting more calls. It is indeed, which is crazy. You're going to win yourself a big box of vending machine items that the vending machine
Starting point is 00:33:00 company kindly donated to us because they said that I'd give you boys something from the vending machine if you guessed it. And then we've got some money, $100, some movie tickets. It is a big prize pack for three ingredients. And the thing is, when Willie asked me who got closest, sometimes it's not even the ingredients, it's a vibe. It's really hard, like if some guesses
Starting point is 00:33:22 didn't get any of the ingredients, I think that one maybe feels the same. I just want to make everyone know that. I want to try, once we've guessed it, I want to get three of these subs into the studio and we try them. Do a little bit of a taste test. Okay, for those who haven't played long, salt and pepper doesn't count, but the sauces, salads and meat do. But I don't know why, I'm feeling there's no meat in it. Okay, let's go to Vanessa. First up, Vanessa.
Starting point is 00:33:44 What was the closest guess Friday? Mozzarella, carrot and mayo. Hi Vanessa. Okay. Yes. Hi how are you? Good. Good Vanessa what do you reckon the three ingredients might have been? I think it's cheddar cheese, ham and salt. You'd need one more ingredient salt and pepper are not included in the ingredients. One more ingredient. Cheddar. Mayonnaise. Cheddar, ham and mayo. It's not a sub, I feel like that one's pretty standard. Cheese, ham and mayo. Yeah, that would be.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Thank you Vanessa. It's sort of like a toasted sandwich. Meg, okay, can you answer this? Would it be something that most people, if I said, hey do you want this? And they go, what's on it? And I told them, they go, no. Yeah, I think most people would go, no thanks.
Starting point is 00:34:22 99% of people wouldn't want to eat it. I don't think so. See, that's a clue. Yeah, Mike think most people would go, no thanks. 99% of people wouldn't want to eat it. I don't think so. So that's a clue. Yeah. Mike, good morning. Morning. Morning, Mike. Mike's back.
Starting point is 00:34:30 I think you've already had a guess, haven't you, Mike? I don't think I've had a guess yet. No, I haven't. OK, I was just going to say he likes the game. All right, Mike, what's your guess? I guess mozzarella, olives and beetroot. Everybody's guessing mozzarella, eh? I wonder whether we've gone a little bit too hard into the mozzarella thing.
Starting point is 00:34:51 That is incorrect, sorry Mike. But you still could be the closest Mike if you are. I saw you at the double pass of the movie, so hold there bro. Of all the things that Wendy could call us for the very first time about, it's this. No! Wendy. She's very first time about it's this. No! Wendy. She's a first time caller. For the first time in forever.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Hello stranger. For the first time. First time caller. Wow Wendy, this is what got you out of the woodwork. Yeah. First time caller, long time listener. Bless you Wendy. It's been keeping you up at night.
Starting point is 00:35:25 What is your guess for the three ingredient sub? Is it mozzarella, carrot, and olives? Ooh, now that's a strong guess. Meg's face. Strong guess, but incorrect. Oh, bugger! But I will give you strong guess, Wendy. You stay there, just in case.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Let's go to Alice now. Final one in the morning, final call of the morning. Alice, what is your guess for the three ingredient sub? Mozzarella, carrot and sweet onion sauce. Sweet onion sauce, interesting. Oh, you've got her pausing, Alice. That's incorrect, Alice. Oh, I'm sorry. Are you two getting a guess? Okay. Yeah, yeah, we've got to. Dan? I'm gonna go...
Starting point is 00:36:09 What was your guess on Friday Clint? Just out of interest? No, Dan, no. Just quickly, just quickly. Mozzarella cheese, carrot, and I have mayo. Okay, I'm gonna go mozzarella cheese, carrot, and onion. That's incorrect, I've already guessed that. Okay I'm gonna still keep mozzarella cheese and carrot I'm gonna my third ingredient I'm
Starting point is 00:36:32 gonna add his tomatoes. Tomatoes? Yeah. That's incorrect. I think it's a sauce. The closest person today was Alice. Carrot, mozzarella and sweet onion sauce. Oh my god. Alice you were close but not correct. So Alice I had carrot mozzarella cheese and mayo and you've got the sweet onion sauce so we're both close. It's a sauce. It's a sauce. we're just doing the wrong sauce. It must be that. Yeah, that's it, eh? So it's mozzarella, carrot, and we just need to go through sources now. Hey, Alice, well I don't know,
Starting point is 00:37:12 but that's what we're thinking. Alice, we're gonna send you a double pass to our must-see movie, Accountant. So you're the closest, so we'll sort you out with that. When people ask you how you won the tickets, don't tell them, please. Okay then. Okay. It's too much, don't tell them please. I'll say then. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:26 There's too much context. We need a bigger prize for the winner. I feel like the fever pitch of this segment needs a prize to match it. I wonder if there was a company that could align with this that might have lots of money that could drop like a thousand bucks on the pro. That would be getting free advertising towards it every day anyway. Oh my goodness me, I just can't think of one. Tabway!
Starting point is 00:37:48 E! Hey! Clint, Meg and Dan. The Edge Breaky with Clint, Meg and Dan are starting a band. And so far, well, they've got instruments. Kirkabane's turning in his grape. The next step, to find a song to perform. One of the world's biggest artists, Alex Warren, suggested this.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Uh, Wet ass b****. Brilliant stuff. And it's locked in. Okay, and then there was Teenage Dirtbag that was suggested. Let's just do the song. You're doing that? I'm with ya. Lock it in! We're doing Teenage Dirtbag, baby! True!
Starting point is 00:38:16 Okay, so now they've locked in the song, we just need a venue. Yes, we haven't got a venue yet, but if you do have a suggestion, 33435 us a text. We've had so many suggestions so far. 70th birthdays, weddings, like schools, which we have vetoed. People have said we can play at their kids' school. I don't know. Too much pressure. I think high school kids are too scary, especially in a large group. Yeah, Clint was bullied at high school, I think. It's sort of a PTSD. So we're not doing a school. Meg doesn't're not doing a school...
Starting point is 00:38:45 Meg doesn't want to do a school assembly either. I can't, I can't. Even the idea of the scariest people on the planet are high schoolers to me. What about Anissa's birthday? A baby shower. Anissa's baby shower? Very loud for a baby shower. Someone's asked for it. Sorry, I didn't hear what you said because I just thought of like a bus pulling up next to my car with a bunch of school kids looking down at me from above. There's no words to it. You're just sitting doing nothing and then a bunch of high school kids walk past and then as they walk past they whisper and then they laugh later.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Oh yeah. But it had nothing to do with you. Everything to do with the school assembly, it's gone. We're not doing a school. Now we all caught up on Friday after the show going into the weekend and had a band practice at Meg's house. Obviously there's a little bit of shade thrown around because it's not necessarily about being the best you just don't want to be the worst. Are you able to take your guitar out of slow motion mode? This is crazy because it's like Meg's the only one that didn't make a mistake it's like a universe Dan and I aren't used to
Starting point is 00:39:46 It's quite strange If that was our first practice we're gonna be like What's a cool band? The Foo Fighters The Foo Fighters in a week Listen to this, listen to this Even his analogy is slow I've just learnt this chord, listen to this, listen to this. Even his analogy was slow. Listen, I've just learnt this chord.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Listen to this. Crazy, you just learnt that. Yeah, no. It was... But to be honest, be honest, the three of us, I expected us to be worse. I, I was very, very pleasantly surprised. Yeah, I didn't think we were able to sound anything like the song first play. Should we take a listen to what our thoughts were in the moment when we were riding high on adrenaline of our first band practice? If we get twice as good with every practice, oh my god, we'll be unstoppable all the week.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Is that how it works? Yeah, absolutely. I reckon this is what the Foo Fighters felt like when they had their first band. You know what we're missing though? Drugs. Yes. No, I got some on my back. We're joking.
Starting point is 00:41:01 Do you know how quiet I am in all of this? I think you guys really... Yeah, but the drummer's always a bit quiet and weird. A bit solemn and cool. Yeah, but kinda like mysterious. Like, what's the drummer thinking? Right. Yeah, so I think you stick with that.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Okay. Just keep your mouth shut. And also I was the only woman in the room that normally keeps you quiet. You're overpowered. Ha ha ha ha ha. After eight, we'll find out whether or not people can recognise the song we were playing.
Starting point is 00:41:23 So we've done our instrumental band rehearsal and we're gonna go around the edge office and ask people not people can recognise the song we were playing. So we've done our instrumental band rehearsal and we're going to go around the Edge office and ask people if they can recognise the song. If they can, if 8 out of 10 people can, I'd call that a success. I completely agree with you. I'd be very, very happy if they can recognise the song. Maybe Mitch James will reconsider. Nah, too late. That ship sailed.
Starting point is 00:41:41 The lead singer of She-Ha joins us! Rockin' the world Watchin' all in our own John Tuba in studio with us! Oh my god, we're just like four musicians all hanging out together. Yeah, I heard about your band. Yeah, you have heard about it. It's legendary. Yeah, yeah. This is the talk of the rock world.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Totally, man. It's all they're talking about. Is it in any way, and I have been thinking about this in the background, is it in any way insulting to a rock band to see three people who have never picked up an instrument in their lives thinking we could do that? Nah man. Okay. Yeah, impress me. Go on, show me. I like that. Find out how hard it is.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Because I've been thinking, does it come across a bit like, you know, we can do that, we can play that song. We're trying. Without blowing smoke up your arse, Jon, I mean you are probably the best rock frontman ever from New Zealand. Like, when I think of New Zealand rock, you think of Jon Tugend and She-Hat. And so what does it take, in your opinion, because you've done it for many many years to be an amazing band Rock wise well you have to find like-minded individuals that it's gone a big trip with you and and you've got to all have that Intention of being the best band you can possibly be
Starting point is 00:42:58 And then you've got to go and work by so we play show after show after show and that's the only way to do it There's no quick way around it 10,000 hours and all that you know quick way. So were you shit when you first picked up the guitar? Yeah absolutely I was seven when I when I first got my three quarter size nylon string acoustic. How many weeks or months before you're like I'm pretty good at this? I reckon two years before I could actually make my way around a song. Oh wow. But not really, like really good. But he was seven. Yeah, I started early.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You gotta start early. Now, the problem is, there's two people in their 30s and one in their 40s recently. I'm having a baby in a couple of months, so we need to do this before then. Yeah. How do we get good super fast? Or how do we hide in a song to make it look like we're good when we're actually not? Well, you basically gotta just... Yeah, you can never be over-prepared, you can only be under-prepared.
Starting point is 00:43:49 So you gotta just rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. But the best rehearsals are actually playing in front of an audience. We've got a professional bass player and pianist, so we've gotta try and find a song that we could maybe hide behind. Hide behind what's an easy one. Um... What would you... What's a really shitty, easy, rock song? Suggestions have been Teenage Dirtbag, do's an easy one? What's a really shitty easy and crook song?
Starting point is 00:44:06 Suggestions have been 10 Anger Dirtbag, do you know that song? Oh perfect, absolutely perfect. Okay, okay. Do that, do that one. Okay, now we've absolutely milked you for our benefit, how can we, what can we do for you? Apparently I'm here to talk about a symphonic metal show. How cool is that? With Jenny and is it EJ Barnes?
Starting point is 00:44:24 EJ Barnes, yeah, so I've known her since she was a kid and she is an amazing singer. Jenny Scalanda from... Devil's Skin. And she's incredible as well. And to play some of the stuff like Led Zeppelin, that's actually out of my range. And even ACDC, which is a bummer
Starting point is 00:44:39 because they got Phil Rudd, the drummer from ACDC to play. Wow, he's a legend, right? Yeah, total legend. Rockstar. What do you think, just as, because the drummer from ACDC to play. Wow, he's a legend, right? Yeah, total legend. Rockstar. What do you think, just as, because you bring up ACDC, what do you think you'd be flattered by the MCDC? Surely. A rip-off, or would he be a bit insulted?
Starting point is 00:44:53 Oh, I reckon he'd be insulted. Yeah, that's right. We'll be out of that one. Knowing Phil, he'd probably be a bit insulted. Yeah. That struck, it did come up on our list of a song that we could try and play, but it was maybe a little... Yeah, man, you try singing that stuff, it's really hard. It's crazy man.
Starting point is 00:45:09 What do you think of the new lead singer of Linkin Park? Is it Emily? Have you had a listen? Well, again, I'm 53 so I sort of miss Linkin Park. I've got a stepdaughter that loved him and we were on the same record label so I got to sign Linkin Park poster for her. Wow, what a dad. we were on the same record label so I got a signed Linkin Park poster for her and then I overheard her talking to a mate from school and her mate said what's your dad's band like? And she said oh they're like Linkin Park but not as good. So John's a little soft spot. So I basically barred Linkin Park.
Starting point is 00:45:40 John's like subjective. Answer questions about Linkin Park actually. Remember from the interview. And just quickly before you go John I know that we've questions about looking back actually, remember from the interview. And just quickly before you go John, I know that we've talked about MCDC, our band name, and I know that Meg and I aren't sold on it. You have famously changed names of your band from She Hard to Pacify, then you went back to She Hard. Would you recommend a band name change? No, definitely not. It's a branding nightmare. Don't do that. OK, so this gig you're talking about, July 26th?
Starting point is 00:46:11 Yep. Yeah, get in the calendars. At Spark Arena. It'll be fantastic. It's like we're playing metal with a symphony. Say all the things you need to say so that your publicist doesn't tell you off. Yeah, totally. So, yes, basically great musicians, great material with the APO, which which is a great orchestra and it'll be epic. John Too Good thank you so much
Starting point is 00:46:30 for your time man. Awesome good luck with the band guys. Yeah let us know if you have anyone drop out for the gig in July. Practice practice practice. Clint, Megan, Dan. We got a little message sent in to us it's actually quite we get this, but if you ever want non-biased opinions, it's a great place to come because we don't owe you anything. And if it's not us, you listening are really good with advice we've found as well. And sometimes you can go to your friends and family and they tell you what you want to hear. Yeah. So we're their honest friend.
Starting point is 00:47:02 We've got no skin in the game. Yeah, I've got this message. Tehclent, Meg and Dan. I'm 29 years old. I've been dating without much success since 19. So that's 10 years of dating. Family says it's because they get the egg with almost everybody and I'm sabotaging myself. But I've been seeing this guy for three months. And to get past the three date with me is quite good.
Starting point is 00:47:23 So three dates is like... So it sounds like things are going well. Everything's been going great. So you're right there, Dan. Over the weekend though, I went to see him in amateur theatre production. The way he acted was so bad, guys. I can't.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Sorry, sorry. I was waiting. I didn't know what the thing is that he'd done. I was just doing something like that he loves. Oh, and amateur, there's nothing wrong with amateur theatre. No, there really isn't. Why are you laughing?
Starting point is 00:47:46 It's funny that she, now this is why she can't. I went to see him in amateur theatre production. The way he acted was so bad, guys. He kept cringing throughout the show. Is it possible to get over an egg? How can I, how can I move past, want to, and I want to support him in something, but to me it's the most unattractive thing
Starting point is 00:48:04 ever seen somebody act terribly. Oh she sounds like a nightmare. Why doesn't she just stop going to his gigs? Well that might be it but maybe he wants her to go. Yeah I guess that's not been a really supportive partner. And she said to be fair she said I want to be supportive but every time I guess I see... Newsflash, no one's perfect you'll always get the... if you're constantly getting the act from people you always get the... If you're constantly getting the ick from people, you'll always get the ick from them because you're not open to seeing people's differences. She couldn't hear...
Starting point is 00:48:30 You sound like her family. That's why she's kind of running into us. She's asking if she can get over the ick. Maybe she needs to, like, focus on the things he is good at, being like, oh, it's, like, great that he was on time to the, you know, thing. To the performance. He showed up on stage. And he looks good. Like, maybe his acting's you know, thing. To the performance. He showed up on stage. And he looks good. Like maybe his acting's terrible
Starting point is 00:48:49 when she's focusing on the acting, but there's gotta be some saving grace moments or parts during the show, do you know what I mean? Hannah came to see me when I'm, like, first month that we were dating, she came to see me and I didn't have much to do with the production. I guess the difference is I was bloody good at it.
Starting point is 00:49:01 But I mean- Did she get the ick? I could message her and ask. Message her? No, let's call her. I wanna hear. Well she didn't get the ick because I'm wet again. She might have moved past it like this girl did. She might have gone, oh disgusting, and then gone, oh but I don't know. He's great otherwise, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Good in bed and other stuff so I guess you sort of weigh out the pros and cons. Let's not put words in her mouth. Okay, let's get Hannah, Dan's wife, on next. And also, can you tell us what the ick was, and then we'll try and guess if you got over it or not? Yeah, I mean, look, I agree with you guys. Obviously, this person maybe has very picky in dating, but they're trying, obviously, to... They're like, I know this is something that's wrong with me. I think you could get over this.
Starting point is 00:49:45 It's such a niche thing. He's not like he's performing theatre every weekend. And if he is, then just don't go. You're busy every weekend. Okay, what was the ick? And then we'll guess if you got over it or whether you're like, nah, I can't get past it. You either married them or you dumped them.
Starting point is 00:50:00 I think the definition of the ick is you can't get over it though. It's like this funk that you get yourself into, you're like, I just can't see past that now. Ooh yuck, we're done. Maybe there's a maturity level that you hit, and then once you hit that, it's like you're able to get past ick status, you know?
Starting point is 00:50:17 I don't know. You tell us what the ick was, and we're going to try and guess if you managed to get past it or not. Some people have been texting in, I've stopped reading them now because I started reading them I'm gonna give the answer away. This one of those was so funny, they text us saying I had to dump them after every time we went out for dinner he'd always ask the waitress what's the damage. That's such a small thing. Yeah it is. What's the damage? And they'd be like, oh yuck, I can't keep dating this guy.
Starting point is 00:50:46 I see what she means there. Like, what's the damage? No, you cannot be into them even at all. You can't be mad at our lovely friend that messaged in because she didn't like his acting and you say it's totally fair if he says, what's the damage? Okay, so here's one. I wanted you guys to guess,
Starting point is 00:51:02 it came through on the text machine, if they are together now or the ick ended the relationship. He kept saying the word froth. Oh, you get it. Like, he'd be like, oh, I'm frothing for our date on Friday. I remember when I was first dating my husband many, many years ago, he used the word lol a lot.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Like, not out loud, like in texts. And I ended up saying that, hey, that's gonna stop. That's gonna stop. If we've got a future, like not out loud, like in text. And I ended up saying that, hey, that's gotta stop. That's gotta stop. If we've got a future, this needs to end. I was just like, hey, you know, you gotta stop. I think the froth, they didn't get over that. I reckon they broke up with him.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Still together. Oh, good. Yeah, I think you should might've just told him. Yeah. Okay. It's old. Okay, let's go to the phones. Steph, he uses his phone with his index finger like my mum. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Well, you didn't say that, but okay. Right. It's exactly how my mum and my dad use their phone, and that just gives me the complete it. But the index finger of all the fingers is the most accurate. I will say that. Yeah. Like, what?
Starting point is 00:52:04 Are you wanting it to be the thumb? Yeah. Obviously. He's 25 and I hit him up about it and I was like, you do not need to be using your phone like that. Like, it's so embarrassing when we're out and he's doing that. And you know what I would do? I'd do it more.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I'd just do, like, you know, you try and make it funny now. And then he's single. Yeah, and then you break up with him. He's single. No, you guys are still together? No. No. Baga.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Okay. The ick is a real thing. I just don't know. Sometimes I use my index finger when I'm texting. Dan, you can't push that. It's already amazing that Hannah's with you. I know what it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:42 All right, Matilda, what was the ick? And we'll try and see if you got past it or not. Hi, I found out probably like a month since we were talking that he was a really heavy Trump supporter. And you would have been out. Yeah, I'm thinking you were like, no thanks. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:53:00 It was a very easy, we got into many arguments. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, oh God. And it's not only gonna get worse, I imagine as well. Like if you're very differing political or religious views, that's a hard one to get past. Yeah, it's better than what's the damage when they go to pay for the bill.
Starting point is 00:53:16 The one that's the most weird, because back like five, 10 years ago, you could have differing political views from your partner and it wouldn't break a relationship. But now for some reason,, politics and the way you vote has become so much more important for some reason in the world. What about this one? Someone got the ick from the person saying that they need to get out of the sun because
Starting point is 00:53:38 it's too hot. Did they get over that? Oh my gosh. That person sounds punishing. That one's actually, they're going to have really good skin in their later life because they care about their son, you know, skin damage. But they're just always sitting in the dark. Yeah, no, surely they got over that one.
Starting point is 00:53:52 They broke up, apparently according to this text. There has to be other things around it with that one, right? Went to an adult woman's place, bedroom was pink and full of old stuffed toys and dolls. Oh yeah, but it depends on how old. Like if they're in their early 20s, I think it's fine. As when you're getting into late 20s, 30s,
Starting point is 00:54:09 and you've still got a themed bedroom, then there's issues. You think it's okay to be late 22 with the pink room and stuffed toys and dolls and stuff? I think it's okay. Aren't we all breaking up with this guy? I don't know how he does it, but every day, multiple times a day, he manages to accidentally turn his flashlight on his phone on.
Starting point is 00:54:27 See ya buddy. Just be phone savvy. I think that's the key. Where are my fish people at? If anyone has ever tried to get fish and buy them and put them in a tank, you will know my pain. Welcome back to this week's episode of Tank Hunter. Last week on the show, absolute drama. What I want you to do, do you have a little bottle like this? Yeah. I just want you to dump the whole thing in. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:54 We just want to give your tank just a little boost of that good stuff. And then how many days do you reckon it will be to come back in and do a test to get a good reading? In whole about a week. I think there's going to be some S back in and do a test to get a good reading. In whole about a week. I think there's going to be some S words next time. And what else? F word. Yeah, I know. I think so. Will the Randall family ever find their forever fish friend?
Starting point is 00:55:16 Find out this week on Tank Hunt. Whose idea was it to have the first word end with a K and then the second word hunt? Oh yeah. Sorry. Was was that your idea Clint? No. Okay. You're starting to sound like one of them. So have we got an update? I decided to go to a different fish place yesterday Sunday afternoon my wife my son and I this fish place had like so many like amazing tropical fish. Perfect place for a tanker. I know and I found out that some fish, I'm learning so much about fish, I don't have any, but I'm learning so much about them.
Starting point is 00:55:55 You have to get more females than males if you're going to put multiple ones in a tank because this happens. I just found out there's a certain female fish that gets pestered by the males so much that she eventually gets exhausted and dies. Wow, I reckon if I was a fish I'd be dead already. I'm gonna die. Oh, that's depressing.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Just me pestering the female fish and they just die from exhaustion. Oh, that's horrible. I feel like that should be more well-known, that fact. Yeah. It's, I think there's definitely a lot that we just kind of as plebe humans just assume fish just do nothing, they have no memory, they're just like there to look pretty, but they've definitely got much more of a life than we think. Even when I was looking at certain fish that I wanted, they would all swim up to the tank and they would follow me because they thought I was going to feed them.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Very clever, I thought, some of them. I've always based my buying a fish experience on finding Nemo you know like when they that story yeah yeah what's the name you're the girl that comes and picks up the thing yeah I don't know it's I feel like it's just much more complicated than it needs to be yeah and so anyway the update was started testing the water, it was the fifth time. We've been turned away every time, I've got lots of products. What's the amount of figure do you think you've spent?
Starting point is 00:57:11 Um... So far? Prior to Sunday, I'd say probably about 120, and I got the tank for free. Got the tank for free, so I didn't pay for any of the tank and the rocks. What, paid post? Nah, it just was part of a thing that got delivered here to work and no one wanted it. Remember?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Oh yeah, so kind of like an influence. Yeah, like a PR pack thing. And so I ended up paying just over a hundred bucks. And anyway, I started looking around at the fish and while he was testing my water, I was like, oh my god, my son's fallen in love with a certain type of fish that he wants. No, tropical. Oh, hot water. You don't want hot water. So the guy said you're going to have to go,
Starting point is 00:57:47 you're going to have to buy a heater. Oh my god. And you're going to have to go away and eat the water and get it to temperature before you can put any fish in. Hot water fisher in Nightmare Clint, don't do it. And then he started showing me I need a water testing kit, because I need it now I can test my own water at home.
Starting point is 00:58:00 And so I don't know, it's hard to cure in this audio, but I picked up the things that he suggested and I left with a receipt of Alright so that comes out to $30.85 $385? No $130.85 plus the $100 so I think I'm about $250 in the whole and I still don't have the fish yet. So you still don't have the fish? No because I'm going to get the tank. How much? Now you're fish yet. You still haven't had the fish? No, because I got the tang. How much? Now you're going for a tropical hot fish? I can go back today.
Starting point is 00:58:29 So they were like 25. I can go back today and try to get fish. They'll test it again. They'll test the temp and stuff. And then this bad boy here could have fish on his sixth visit. When he said bad boy, he pointed at himself there. I think it'd be cheaper to import a giraffe.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Honestly, like, honestly sounds like the biggest punish. I couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Oh, anyone who's thinking about it, abort mission. If you're as deep as I am, I think you gotta continue to pre-sow on otherwise. It's just dead money now, right? I have to keep going.
Starting point is 00:59:00 The end result is not nothing good either. It's not like you get the fish and then it's amazing. You play with the fish you play with the fish. It's not like a dog or a cat. It's literally nothing and it'll probably die. We used to play with our fish when we were younger. You're not supposed to play with them. They didn't last very long. I don't think you should be allowed. Do you know what? They probably have heard your background and that's why they're trying to prove that Clint Randall can have fish. When we had a little diving ball we made out of Lego, we'd put them on. Yeah, they didn't like...
Starting point is 00:59:27 You were not allowed to do that. We didn't know we were young. I would never do that now. Oh, goodness me. Never do that now. Very serious. Hopefully they're listening and they go in today and they're like... So we heard you talking on the radio today. No diving board for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:40 From fish. Clint, Meg and Dan. Three friends want to know how far they can get by starting a band with no musical experience. The Edge Breaky with Clint, Meg and Dan are starting a band. And so far, well, they've got instruments. Kirkabane's turning in his grape. The next step, to find a song to perform. One of the world's biggest artists, Alex Warren, suggested this.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Uh, Wet Ass ****. Brilliant stuff. And it's locked in. Okay, and then there was Teenage Dupe Egg that was suggested. Let's just do the song. We're doing that! Lock it in! We're doing Teenage Dupe Egg, baby!
Starting point is 01:00:12 Choo! Okay, so now they've locked in the song, we just need a venue. Yeah, if you've got a venue, 3343. We thought we would keep that open for maybe a week so that we don't make a rash decision. We've got lots and lots of entries coming through, lots came in over the weekend. A 21st, a 50th, my grandma's rest home performance at Vic Park.
Starting point is 01:00:34 I don't mind that. So everybody can come along. I don't mind the rest home, I'm not scared of old people. Yeah, I don't mind the rest home. They won't be able to hear very much anyway. We can play real loud. Yeah, I like the rest home. It's not very rock and roll though.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Do you want to go straight and rock and roll? That's like third gig. Here's a little snapshot of our band rehearsal at Meg's place on Friday after the show. So that's how it is. Are you able to take your guitar out of slow motion mode? Yeah. This is crazy because it's like,
Starting point is 01:01:03 Meg's the only one that didn't make a mistake, it's like a universe Dan and I aren't used to. It is, it's quite strange. I've just learnt this chord, listen to this. I don't think I understand why, the first two are good. I don't say an actual word in that. Yeah, you were just real quiet, you were just very focused on the sticks and hitting the right things. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:01:26 And Dan said how good he is, and you said actually Meg didn't make a mistake. So I just sat there quietly. She's a mysterious drummer. I didn't feel very rock and roll either because I felt like I was super focused on trying to play everything right. And I think that came across in the video
Starting point is 01:01:42 that people in the office here at the edge of scene. It looks like everyone's having a really good time and really getting into it. Besides Clint, he looks like he's just really concentrating. There's something in his eye. He doesn't look like he's having a really good time. Surprisingly really good, but I agree. I don't know, was Clint actually doing anything? He looked like he was just looking at his guitar rather than actually doing anything. Yeah, that was actually better than I thought it would be. Yeah, Clint looks like he's borderline in pain,
Starting point is 01:02:11 but Meg's face is the cutest, most wholesome thing behind that kit. That was very good. Clint, we need you to look hot. You're the only eye candy of the show. Aw. You know? Aw. Well, you are Meg, but you've been covered
Starting point is 01:02:22 by a whole drunkhead. Kicked left front and centre. You can't really see most of you. That's Clinton the Fuggos, that's what we should have called them. We should have been Clinton the Fuggos. Okay so next on the show we will, well I think producer Carl has gone around and asked those that don't work at the Edge, so they don't know that we've already landed on Teenage Dirtbag, he's played them a snippet of our band rehearsal and then asked them what song they think
Starting point is 01:02:45 we were trying to play. That will prove to us if we're on the right track because we thought it sounded just like it, but if other people can recognise the song, a well-known song, then we're doing well. I'll be happy if just one of them does. MCDC is our band name. If you want us to play at your event,
Starting point is 01:03:00 we're still looking for our first gig. We are free, we have a quarter of a song. Yeah, but by the time we play your gig, and ideally it'll be something that's maybe two or three weeks away, we will be perfect. We'll be perfect, and we'll have a song. One song. Don't promise perfection, please.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Okay, we did get producer Carl to take a little snippet from our band practice on Friday around the office and ask people what song they thought we were playing and this is what came back. Isn't that a home again? Weezer Beverly Hills? No I know it I think but I can't remember the name. I'm pretty sure that's teenage dirt bag. I don't think it's teenage dirt bag though.
Starting point is 01:03:43 So one person. I said I'd be happy if there was one person and then it was. I'm still not. But then normally you know when someone gives you the answer and you go oh yeah. And she went no I don't think it is. Yeah that's not good. But to be fair the clip we played then was just that there was no singing. That would have made it easier.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Because I think Teenage Dirtbag is one of those songs that has got quite a generic music. But when you have the singing on top then of course it's Teenage Dirtbag is one of those songs that has got quite a generic you know music but when you have the singing in on top then of course it's Teenage Dirtbag. It also has the song title and the name and the chorus so that's a pretty dead giveaway I think. Producer Neeps was there we're gonna play some audio he was a part of this practice he's the bass player he can actually play he's in a band and then the three of us were playing together as a group for the very first time. Could you actually as well text through 3343 honestly your opinion and thoughts on this? Just remember it's our first practice. And we didn't start from the beginning. We just we learnt the chorus. So there's I think it's a lot of noise. We haven't like had
Starting point is 01:04:41 a chance to build to it. I'd also be I still think we need Web Girl Bella just on the keys somewhere. She can keep a rhythm, even though there's no keys in the song. But just turn who's up really loud and us really down. Okay, take a listen. I think it's good. Keep in mind that it's our first ever practice. And this is the real band. And now play us. See?
Starting point is 01:05:19 No. I'm still playing them. Come on! And I'm on an iPhone. Oh! Oh! And they've got a foot pedal with a fix. So I think when we get the right effects, so it matches the actual tone.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Yeah, it's your cheeks in. They're so good, guys. I think it's amazing. Yeah. Now we need to work out tomorrow how difficult it is to play and sing at the same time. That's quite important for a band. Yeah, otherwise we're just an instrumental band.
Starting point is 01:05:56 Yeah, and I was playing bung notes when I wasn't singing. Hey, and then this part, we can get this part. Sweet as. This easy. Let's not even practice this bit. Yeah, we don't even need a practice bit. This is a harder bit for me though, so we'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 01:06:09 Clint, Meg and Dan, did you guys buy a lotto ticket over the weekend? No. Neither did I. And I sort of wish I had an Ash Burton because there's a shop. There's a shop down in Canterbury that sold four second division winning tickets
Starting point is 01:06:23 at the same shop. I don't know what the chances of that are happening because it must be very very low. Each ticket, each of the four won $17,357. That's nice to go into Monday. Yeah making Meg very tired though. I'm quite sick. I will say that apparently back like five ten years ago Lotto would release every year a press release of its luckiest stores. But they've stopped doing that because apparently it was like misleading and people would go
Starting point is 01:06:52 to that store and buy a lot of tickets when really it wasn't going to get them as well. Which is fair enough. But I've found the last press release of the luckiest stores in New Zealand and apparently these still stand so I'm just gonna go through the top five if you're in any of these areas apparently they are the luckiest stores in New Zealand to buy a lotto ticket if you're buying physical tickets. Number five Hornby Moore lotto in Christchurch. I hope for that. 31st division wins. 31! Yeah I hear Hornby Mall getting shout out quite a bit when it comes to the lottery. And apparently in New Zealand, like in America, if you sell a lottery ticket, a winning one,
Starting point is 01:07:33 you get like a commission from the lotteries, but not in New Zealand. America and Canada, you get 1% up to a million dollars at the store that sells the ticket. Whereas in New Zealand they just get a commission for selling tickets? Oh sorry, not a commission, they just get like, I don't know, like an admin fee. Yeah, absolutely, but yeah, if you're in Canada or America, 1% of the winnings, up to a million. Yeah, number three equals,
Starting point is 01:07:56 so there's two that are three equal, Pack and Save, Rickerton, Christchurch, and Coastlands Lotto, Paraparaumu, with 33 First Division wins. Coastlands, wow, that's an old mall now. Number two, Richmond Night and Day in Nelson with 35 First Division wins. And the number one luckiest store in New Zealand for lotto wins with 49.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Oh wow, that's a big jump. First Division wins, Unichim Stortford Lodge pharmacy in Hastings. So if you're in the Hastings area man you'd be buying your lotto tickets every weekend from there. That's where you want to get it from but then also just to put a bow on this six things that are more likely to happen to you than winning the Powerball lottery in New Zealand. Not Clint the way's wise isn't he? Getting struck by lightning twice. No I think he's gonna do this because last week
Starting point is 01:08:47 he spoke about gambling quite a lot on air. It's all about light and shade. Being related to the Queen. Giving birth to identical quadruplets is more likely to happen to you than winning Powerball. And I'm a dude. So god. Flip a coin and get heads 28 times in a row.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Wow. So if you think you can do that. But then, you know, somebody does win. I know. What blows my mind though, every time about it, is that, you know, I feel like I can meet somebody randomly and they can, if we get chatting, we can find a connection somewhere in our lives of like, oh you went to school with my neighbour's friend, you know, New Zealand is so small.
Starting point is 01:09:24 I've never ever met somebody, or meet somebody who's met somebody that's one big lotto. Yeah, they'll disappear and move countries. But they usually keep it to themselves though, don't they? You're not going round going, I won a first division lottery, that's why I got a Lambo. What is that, like how many big winners every year? You'd still think you would know,
Starting point is 01:09:38 like one of us would know somebody by now. Sometimes it's just like, they got rich, they must have got an inheritance or something. Really? Really, they won lotto. must have got an inheritance or something. Really? Really, they won lotto. You're also more likely to drown in your bath or be killed by a vending machine than winning First Division Powerland. That's bloody unlucky.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Yeah. Killed by a vending machine. Imagine going out that way. Vending machine drowned. And what do we say at the end? Gamble responsibly. Holy shit! You made it the whole way through!
Starting point is 01:10:01 If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow! Shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough, check out our OnlyFans podcast it is. ["River"] Rova, music, radio, podcasts.
