Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Some podcast educate, some inspire. We do neither. Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today. This is the Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Be it's Breaky. Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. It's harder in Auckland.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Good morning. It's 1-2-6 on your Thursday. Friday Eve going into a long weekend. Oh my gosh. Let's go. I forgot about the long weekend. Right. How good.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Oh my gosh. That's the best long weekend when you forgot. about it until the time. Oh my gosh, I'm so happy. What are you guys doing? Did you just have a little old? I almost did. Just a little sneaky one.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Are you guys going to do any fun? I'm thinking, we're thinking of going away just for like a night or so. We got invited to our friends batch and we were like, it's going to be so good. And then something's come up now with our friends and they're unable to go. And I'm like, are you just going to tell us where you keep the key? Oh, gosh. Yeah, or are we all not going now? So it looks like my planes are freed up.
Starting point is 00:01:04 As the place you're going, is it like where they keep the keys is it in a bolt? No, I think it's more like an under the deck type of. In a lockbox for the code. 6-9-69, would be the code, obviously. Maybe it is a similar platform, thank you. I mean, I don't know, Dan. I'm not going to know now because I don't get to go, so who knows. Oh, bugger.
Starting point is 00:01:23 But, you know, I would have enjoyed looking all around for the key? You know what would be nice, actually, for us that are staying in Auckland, Ash, if someone invited us to use their pools, for instance, that'd be lovely, wouldn't it? That would be real nice. Yeah, nice weather this weekend, you know? Especially someone that's like just one or two minutes from my house. Yeah, if only we knew someone. How well. It's coming to mind.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Also. Now, if anyone. I think it's a little special day today. Yeah, it is. What are you and me? Produceania is 26. He's close to the 30. 25 now.
Starting point is 00:01:56 25, far out. It's pretty crazy. Oh, you've been rounding up. I thought you're already 25. I know. Yeah, so I was born in 2000, so I'm always the year that it is. I know, crazy, eh? That's cute.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Yuck, stop that. A 2000 maybe, okay, well, effectively now, I guess you are, with every minute you're on this planet, you are closer to 30 now than 20. It's actually ridiculous. So I was talking to mum on the phone yesterday, and she was like, I can't believe, like, my oldest kid is 25 now. Like, it's crazy for her. So, yeah, very, very exciting.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Yeah, off to Sydney this morning. Oh, do you know this song, Why Georgia by John and John Mayer? I think I've heard it before, but I don't know. Because there's a lyric in it. The boys will know once I start singing it. He goes, it might be a quarter-life crisis. Just stirring in my soul. So I hope you don't have a quarter-life crisis.
Starting point is 00:02:45 God, was John Mayer 25 when he wrote that, God. That is depressing. Just go? Yeah, I know, Nipa, you probably thought that the team forgot, but we didn't. And so from us, we just want to get you this edge land yard, bro. So there you go, man. That's so kind. We're all texting last night.
Starting point is 00:03:01 We've also all chipped in and got you a double pass to our musty movie. Oh my God, no way. That's so kind. I'll buy you Brits for Breakfast. And we're shouting you a trip to Sydney after the show! Yeah! How good. Oh, is Dan going to reimburse you the ticket price?
Starting point is 00:03:20 I can't wait. I pay for Dad's flights as well, so are they covered? Oh, that's so nice. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my God. Oh, my gosh. About to, oh, jump into the 6am throwback, us versus the playlist. Oh. Okay, before I play, what is in the playlist, what are you guys hoping to throw out there?
Starting point is 00:03:36 Dad's got some real winners today. It's a huge day today for throwbacks. I mean, the world's our roister. First of all, I give you a Dell. Hello was released this day in 2015, so 10 years ago. It's the 10-year anniversary. It's become a throwback today. Yeah, because that is the measure.
Starting point is 00:03:54 We have a 10-year measure. Yeah. Oh God, she's Such an incredible song It broke the record For the amount of listens In the first 24 hours at the time 27.7 million
Starting point is 00:04:12 listens in the first 24 hours of it being released Which is huge I'd love to know how much money she actually has Just in her like Everyday bank can count In her coffers Yeah, no like if not in her Like investment
Starting point is 00:04:24 So exactly just like the cash that she has access to in this second. Yeah. I mean, Beyonce also in 2008, so on this day in 2008, released If I Were a Boy, her famous single. Not as, I mean, it wouldn't be one of her most iconic songs.
Starting point is 00:04:40 A bit of a whiny song. It is. It is. She's still amazing. Yeah. And... Was there some Amy Winehouse? Amy Winehouse on this day in 2006,
Starting point is 00:04:48 released Rehaves. Oh, it's one of my old-time faves. Yes, I've been back. Forget you three. What was in the playlist? Tell me why he ain't nothing but it's wrong. As soon as I saw the BSB, I was like, Dan's going to be throwing up
Starting point is 00:05:05 some great A throwbacks to rival the BSB. For me, it's hello or BSB, but also I think a bit tired today, end of the week. If we can't be going to ballad right now, I think we've got to have something with a bit of peppin' it step. Yeah, okay. We'll just play with that.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Are they back at the sphere? Yeah, soon, I think, very soon. Before the end of the year and they go through. You need a matter. Fest a trip. I know. Either that or wasn't it Kazakhstan? weren't they doing a tour through Kazakhstan?
Starting point is 00:05:30 They were doing some dates and then going back to the sphere, yeah, but some weird places. That's where boreats from, eh? My way. Yeah, no I am. Do you know because I've been to the Middle East and stuff, I'd be scared to go to America now? I don't think I want to go. Yeah, I've got some friends going to America next week. And I remember, as they said, they were going to America.
Starting point is 00:05:47 I was like, interesting. Yeah, and she bowled out. But it's fine. I don't think it would be for me. Yeah. And if you're wondering, Adele, 400 million. she's worse. Oh, I did it a little low again.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Twice in one morning. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. Now, I don't know if this is true, and I have no recollection of this, but Clint and I went to the same university, Auckland. University of Technology University. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I may have gotten to university, but I don't remember. Yeah, we went to the university that has the word university twice in the name. What do you mean? So it's called A-U-T-U-Niversity. but it stands for Auckland University of Technology University.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's not really AUT University, is it? It was just AUT. It was just AUT, and then it felt, I think, there was this, because there was Auckland Uni, and then there was AUT. So it was almost like everyone called us AUT, so they ended up adding a university to the end. It's because of when people talk about like a rat test. But the T and rat already stands for tests.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah, rapid antigen test test. Yeah. And so Clinton and I did radio at that particular university. And we got an email yesterday saying that we were both different years, recipients of an award called the Static Award or something. Yeah, Static FM was the name of the radio station at the uni. Oh, the uni station? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:05 So I got it in 2007 and Dan got it in 2011. Yeah. And we had no idea. And now this kid who's got it, another Dan, 25 years on from the award starting, I guess. It's their anniversary. He's won it. And he reached out to you to be like, buddies, alumni. Yeah, and getting us to have a bit of message of support for their 25th year or something.
Starting point is 00:07:27 I think they want us to come along and sort of talk about how good we are at radio and shit. Yeah, but he wants to do it on a Friday going into a long weekend. I was that, bra. Today, I mean, tomorrow. Apparently, we inspire children, apparently. That's what he said in the email. Is that what he said? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Do they? Yeah, he said, you guys inspire me, I think. Do you remember what you did to win the award? I don't remember winning it. Is there anything you might have? because I remember we had like a whole bunch of, like, Led Zeppelin interview clips of the different members of the band just talking about the band and all the stuff that they did
Starting point is 00:08:03 in the lead up to their success. And I edited all of the clips to make it sound like they were in some sort of like a gay love triangle. Because when you take certain clips out of context, it can make them seem like they were really into each other as a band, if you know what I mean. And you won a radio award for that. It must have been a slow year. It was a little immature, I think.
Starting point is 00:08:25 But I think maybe the editing and trying to paste a story together that was fiction, but actually sounded like it told a real true story. I think maybe it was impressive. You don't remember, Dan, and he remembers every detail. I reckon, I reckon, I mean, Led Zeppelin was a brand new band when Clint was there.
Starting point is 00:08:42 So it was the new single probably there. People would have been excited over the hype. Yeah. But I genuinely think that I've got a mistake. I don't think I want to. I think they've seen my name on some list and gone oh he must have won the award I don't think I wasn't that good I didn't even do the radio unit from my course at uni
Starting point is 00:08:58 because I was like nah boring I got a face with television I got a face with a big screen and it wasn't my time of radio and then you realised I do not have a face for any screen I'm like straight to radio with you I know hey uh by the way I'm still pretty good of stitching audio together making it sound like something else
Starting point is 00:09:15 I want a gay man now how do this I knew you're going to use that. I knew it was kidding. That award was wasted on you. I love chopping audio for making people sound like they're saying something. That was being chopped up. That was just removed from a sentence.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Yeah, that's true. I want a gay man now. And you didn't win the award in 2011 either. It would have been the 80s when you were at university. Well, at least now I've got this guy saying it was 2007. Still, that's crazy. Wow. 18 years ago, God, we're old.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Isn't that crazy? It doesn't seem that long ago that I was at university. in 2011. I flunked out though because I got a job and then left so surely I didn't
Starting point is 00:09:53 win the award and I ditched about to I had still six months to go on my course which was three years
Starting point is 00:09:59 because New Zealand Idol auditions happened and then I need to say something this break's gone too long and it's been
Starting point is 00:10:05 pretty boring yeah it's not been our best she hasn't won in awards because Ash isn't talking about her awards hey
Starting point is 00:10:12 okay interesting all right we'll talk about Ash's Awards your university and that it has the word university in it twice.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Jealous, she wasn't invited to come talk. Did you go to a uni or do you go to like a tech? I went to university. How many times was it in the name? It was Royal Melbourne Institute. There's no, maybe it is a tech. Oh, I want it to do next to shoot. Oh, no, it's RMIT University.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Green is not good on you, my friends. Yeah, but I've had a more successful career than one person in this two. Clint McGu-Den. Lesh, go. First call of the day! First call of the day! All right, I think our first call of the day is a teacher who, if you didn't know, they're on strike today.
Starting point is 00:10:57 I'm not unsure if it's all years, like in primary, intermediate and high school. No, my kids are home today, primary school. Well, we'll find out. Why morning, Michelle? Morena, how you doing? Yeah, good. Whereabouts you in the country today? Porirua.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Oh, yes, yes, beautiful part of the country. And are you a primary school, intermediate? at high school teacher? Primary school teacher. So are all teachers on strike today, or do you guys sort of take turns pending on what levels you teach? Well, we're a different union
Starting point is 00:11:30 to the senior school teachers, but this is a pretty cool one where a lot of different jobs and roles are joining up together. So we have primary school teachers, we have support staff, we have principals, we have secondary school teachers, doctors, nurses, dentists,
Starting point is 00:11:48 an ACC on a strike with us. Yeah, it's a big group, isn't it? They're pretty much all the people that deserve to get paid all the money in this society. You know what I mean? Like, so often when this happens, I look around and I go, how are we living in a world where the people that raise our children, let's be honest, educate our children, and keep us healthy and alive, aren't getting paid the most?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah, and the thing is the sad thing is... That's definitely one part, yeah. Yeah, and the sad thing is, I think, working conditions as well, especially for nurses and doctors in a lot of places, very bad so yeah look we're behind you what does your day look like then Michelle if you're not teaching kids
Starting point is 00:12:23 um well currently I also have a broken ankle so I am off to physio today so no match in the streets were they signed for you no they've cancelled those events in Wellington due to the weather warnings unfortunately how'd you hit your ankle babe
Starting point is 00:12:42 just being badass playing netball with my daughter oh that'll do it no that ball's good for an angle injury and there's a lot of stopping in like fast year. Okay. Well hopefully you get the result you want and hopefully the strikes that are going ahead today
Starting point is 00:12:58 go well and stay peaceful. Absolutely. I think one thing is also just if I could say a misconception it's not just about the money as well it's about the classroom conditions like we would love if our tamariki could have a teacher aid in every classroom because then they get the support
Starting point is 00:13:15 they need to grow and learn and that helps us as teachers when we have to be in lots of different places at once. So our support staff are huge helps for us. And the healthcare side, I know from experience that a lot of the working conditions and the hours that some of the healthcare workers are working is not good. We can't expect them to be at the top of their game when they're bad exhausted and don't feel safe in their own workplaces. Thanks, Michelle.
Starting point is 00:13:37 We're going to send you a voucher to go spend in store a Z. You can try the new ultimate pie, beef, brisket, smoke cheddar and jalapino so you can get amongst that. and I see as well there's a state of emergency declared in Canterbury with red wind warnings which is never good the red's always the worst one when it comes to weather so I think all the strikes have been cancelled there as well I've got excuse to work from home today if you can I think that's the best thing to do you see that footage of the young woman in Wellington
Starting point is 00:14:02 who got blown onto the road there's a car the whizzes past just before the wind picks her up and pretty much throws her onto the road I'm like you imagine the timing if that had been like five well actually probably more like two three seconds Or if there'd be no CCTV and that car had hit her, that person, there's no way anyone would believe that the wind blew her onto the road in front of them.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Oh my God, you're so right. If you were like, the wind just picked her up and threw her in front of me. Yeah, people were all right, mate. You were speeding. Yeah. Oh, gosh. Crazy times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 So stay safe. Okay, coming up next, we've got a scandal update. What's going on in the world of entertainment? This is a funny one. Well, it could, it's very, very awkward thing happened on stage with one of our favorite pop singers who we've spoken to this. you. Something happened that he's so cringe, but they turned it around into
Starting point is 00:14:48 something. I love cringe. Yeah, it's all cringe. The Clint Migg and Dan podcast. Scandal. A scandal. Quite a scandal. Scandal. With Ash London. Alex Warren is a friend of the show, I think we can say by now. Such a legend, such a beautiful boy. Went from being homeless. The Vigini's car to one of the most celebrated
Starting point is 00:15:07 pop songwriters on the planet at the moment. I reckon he will be up for a Grammy when they're announced in less than two weeks. Definitely ordinary i think will be up for song of the year record of the year right's a great ballad hey it really really is yeah so he was uh he's touring still at the moment and he was on stage and for some reason he decided that he was going to do rocks paper scissors with someone in the crowd he chose an interesting person to do a rock's paper scissors with he's the audio rock paper scissors shoot what the What is that, though?
Starting point is 00:15:42 What is it? You're missing fingers? Oh my God, it's this one. Brilliant. What are you? I'm coming to give you a hug. I didn't ask you. What are the chances?
Starting point is 00:15:56 You wouldn't throw up scissors if you're missing fingers. I know. He would just stick with rock. I mean, come on. I don't ask it for it. Yes. I just love seeing stuff like that. He went out and gave him a hug and was all very fair.
Starting point is 00:16:07 What are the chances, though? If there are thousands of people, you would choose that, unless they had a sign that said, let's do rocks, paper, scissors, which case, that's very funny. Because that is weird that you would decide to do that, but, and then I guess you throw out paper so you're missing a bunch of fingers, and then he was like,
Starting point is 00:16:22 ooh, what is that? Looks like, the paper's got a tear out of it. He thought that was, like, cheating by, like, pretending to do two, and then they could, like, no, that was a paper, and stick more fingers out once they saw his. You've got three fingers out. Is that paper or that's a sister?
Starting point is 00:16:32 Yeah, you realize you were just mocking someone's disability. Looks like he's just doing Spider-Man, the spider-man thing. But he's the nicest guy in the world, and he like really lent into it. So it was a funny moment. And it's made a viral sensation moment, has it? Yeah, much better than people getting caught cheating in the crowd at some watch. It's always better to like laugh at the mistake and highlight it and move on
Starting point is 00:16:52 those people that try to cover the mistake. It's so true. I've never thought of that. If you're missing fingers, rock paper, scissors is not your go-to game to decide something, is it? At uni, my friend, Smitty, I had no only figure. It was like third year uni and we had like our big summer break and we came back we're sitting in class and I look over and I'm like, he's missing a finger?
Starting point is 00:17:12 Where's his finger gone? And I was like, how do I ask? Did he lose his finger over the summer? And I was like, this is insane. How come he's not said anything? And I eventually brought it up and he's like, Ash, I've never had this finger. I lost it when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:17:23 And I was like, I've known you for three years and I never knew you had half a finger. Yeah. Well, it's not often you really assist people's hands, do you? True. Like I'm just only first time looking at your hands and they're gorgeous. Oh, no. My hands are.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I feel like you're quite an aware of, person though to not notice a friend's missing a finger for three years is crazy I know we weren't super close but I saw him every day I think about it I think about Smitty's finger all the time yeah I want we once had a guy in that had no one arm and one of his arms was missing I think he lost it in like some sort of uh ski skisking or something oh what's his go do game arm wrestling yeah no but I went up for a fist bump after it and because it was his right hand or right arm that was missing he was didn't know what to do so I like sort of bumped his stump and
Starting point is 00:18:08 I know, it was so awkward. But he loved it. He made a joke out of it. He said he's awkward, though. Yeah. You got to lean in. I know. And I think I should have lent him, but I didn't in the end.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I just sort of was like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. He was fine about it. He probably gets it a lot, though. Yeah. Who's the comedian that's coming that does all the crowd work and just makes fun of it? Yeah. And just makes fun of everyone.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I've got tickets already to that. I think I should get tickets. He's so great. It's like, you might be in a wheelchair. You might be blind. You might have an intellectual disability. He's like, we are all equal. in my show, no one is safe.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And watching people, especially people that maybe can't verbally communicate, laugh when he's making fun of them. It's the most heartwarming thing in the world. I mean, you're not going to one of his shows if you're scared of being made fun of. You're going there because you just want to be part of the fun. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Clint, you should sit front row. I'm not sure where my tickets are. I think they're far enough away that he won't be able to see me. If you're buying front row seats to see Matt Rive, you are desperate to be heckled. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're champing at the belly, please, Matt, please hop, by the way. Yeah. Great, he's got Jack Honeybone skin.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Mm-hmm. Clint Megan Dan, stinky boo. A naughty 640, Clint Megan Dan with Ash London. It's a dude who's taken to TikTok talking about the least moanable names. This is the name you do not want as a guy, at least according to this dude. If there's one thing I think you should be grateful for today, it's the fact you have a moanable name. I never even considered this, right, when you get a shit name, how bad this could be. I just seen some video about a guy talking about monable names.
Starting point is 00:19:39 His name's Gregory. Imagine a girl just being like, oh, Gregory. It does not work, right? Gregory, oh my God. Hey, this wreaks to me of a clickbait thing where he's just trying to get a rise out of people. I reckon any name's Moneable. Oh, kind of with him.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Like, someone's texted through the name. Archerable? Lester. No, Lester. Weird. No, it's Moneable. Sarah says, what about Archibald, Dan, if we're giving you a crack at them?
Starting point is 00:20:06 That starts with a perfect, like, thing to moan. You get to grow up. Ah, Chibald. Right. It's awkward what he does. Sorry. Susie's got a name she'd like to throw out. I'm not saying this is how I would do it.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Well, this is exactly what you're saying. Most moanable names. What do you got? Okay, so, moan this, Dan. My nana's name was Minnie, and all the kids in the neighbourhood called her Minnie Mouse. Minnie? Minnie.
Starting point is 00:20:34 No, I don't think Minnie's great. No, do you think it's moanable? When you hear him do it, Susie, do you think, oh, that's moanable or that's weird? It's weird. Yeah, I agree. I think the two-syllable stuff, you've got to break up. You've got to moan the min and then the knee.
Starting point is 00:20:47 So it's like, man. Hey. Yeah, oh, Jesus. Stop doing that. It's making me real uncomfortable. It's not my idea to do this, to be honest. Yeah, but you're the only one moaning it. This worries me because producer Carl's whispering in my ear saying you need to take line 10.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Good morning, me. Is that a familiar voice to you, Daniel? Is that my mum? Hi, Jules. Hi, how are you? Good, have you got a name to suggest that Dan can moan? Don't say Julie. Yeah, Julie.
Starting point is 00:21:25 She's always listening. This is where I draw the line. I'm not moaning my mum's name. Oh, yay, we set this game. Do it. No. Do it, do it, don't. No, actually, I don't want him to do it.
Starting point is 00:21:36 It's easy, just, oh, no, Julie. Oh, you've done that before, man. Julie, Julie, Julie, he's got pregnant with the sounds of us. He rolls off the tongue. Come on, give it a go, it's fun. Don't, Dan, you're in one of those moments where you're getting riled up by Clint and you think you have to do it for the lull,
Starting point is 00:21:56 but you will regret it afterwards. You will regret moaning your mother's name in a sexual way, I guarantee you. I mean, it's your life. to live, but I am warning you. The thing is, the radio person of me is going, we need to end this break, and we don't have an out. And you're that guy, most of the time, you're the guy.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Why did you, by the way, Mum, why did you call? What was the goal here? To embarrass your son on national radio? Because if you called for that, you've done it. No, it was because you said, there's not a name that you couldn't moat. And I'm driving along thinking, I think there might be. Oh, so she's done the reverse.
Starting point is 00:22:34 She's not saying, can you moan Julie? She's like, no, I know you can't moan Julie. I'd actually rather he wouldn't. Yeah, I think we all would, babe. Well, here we go. I'm going to do it then. Dan, I love her your mum's playing hard to get now with you. Yeah, we'll just give her something.

Starting point is 00:23:15 Bye, Jill. Love you, babe. See you. Call us anytime, all the time. Actually, I think that's the last time she'll ever call. People are texting through vomit emojis. And rightly so. Sorry with that.

Starting point is 00:24:30 Yes, they found some new balances I liked, tried them on. How much are these? $380. They're one of those things I think you have to get on sale like Andre's is. You wait for the sales. Oh, you win a thousand bucks. Or you needed to buy a new balance like five years ago. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:24:45 They would have been like 70 bucks. Okay. All right, let's calm the nerves. You got 30 seconds. What's Andre's letter this morning? Andre's letter is G. G for Gorgeous, which I imagine is a word that you could describe Andre. Remember, Dre?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Just a little word. You can get g and jr words. Thank you for reminding. Thank you for giving us a crash course on English. I just, you know, you only got 30 seconds to work it out. And I'm beginning with G, Andre, my man, for a new pair of shoes and then some. A colour. Green.

Starting point is 00:25:48 Something here in court. That's time, Andre. That's sexy lady. Yeah, bro. But when you were on, you were on. Yeah. He was real cool. So we thought you would have gone with glasses,
Starting point is 00:25:58 especially considering. you know, he wanted to go shopping and stuff. Did you say Garfield for a TV show? Yeah. What a great call. That wasn't even on our list there, but that is a good one. Good on your, Andre. We love you, brother.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Thanks for listening. Thanks for the chance. I wanted to say, thanks for that. You're a lovely guy. Thanks, Andre. All the best. Have a great long weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Well, if you do want to know how to play, because we're going to be giving you another crack at 8 o'clock, stick around. You might have missed the performance of Caitlin Africa yesterday. He won $10,000. There's another Andre calling. Michael, how many Andres do we have? They've heard someone got Andre on the radio go,
Starting point is 00:26:35 my name's Andre too. I'm calling her. We're not just taking Andre's. Takes one to no one. Good on you. Clint, Megan Dan. Okay, we're doing this early because it's a little bit naughty, but we had a caller on the show earlier this week
Starting point is 00:26:47 when we're talking pet names about what her partner calls her and rhymes with shut. Does he put a describing word at the front, like, My Little or? I usually just come here Come here Oh my goodness speak That sounds like something out of the books that I read So it's a bit of fun
Starting point is 00:27:05 Just on here Sometimes you brainstorm some things And you throw stuff out there And you realise after the show Okay that wasn't Probably our best I was like maybe we should all try Calling our partner there
Starting point is 00:27:14 And then bring back You know our findings Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa When you say all I was the only one that did it Yeah because it was more of just like A throwaway comment Really
Starting point is 00:27:24 This ditch up We didn't think it was like agreed upon I shook hands and everything We did not And this is what Happened when Dan called his wife For the first time the S word
Starting point is 00:27:35 Don't repaid Turn off the light You big sht Can't I just call my wife a sht No I'm looking at the look on your face You're to know Absolutely not
Starting point is 00:27:48 But it's an affectionate All right you'll wampet So anyway That started a bit of a domestic She's still not talking to me So Dan felt like He was hard done by... She'd moved her stuff out of the house
Starting point is 00:27:59 because I got home yesterday, thanks to you two. And so I was like, all right, I'll be a team player. So I'm a day late. But I've done it. This is the thing with Clint. So he did it. Most people would just forget about it and go, let's just move on. He's gone back on it and now he's calling his wife at his.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Yeah, and secretly, I was hoping she'd like it. And I was like, it's actually... It's actually the perfect crime. Because if she doesn't like it, I'm recording it's a radio game. This is how I make money for the family, babe. Hey. When, when, frog mate Clinton. Now, the problem was, I went to bed last night and she was still out.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And so I didn't get to call her at last night. And I woke up this morning and I went, oh, I haven't called her it. So you just don't do it, then you just come to work. It was quarter to five. She was asleep. And I tried to keep the room as dark as possible to not wake her up. Well, you're going to hear in this clip. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Maybe we'll, maybe you won't. She wasn't the only one in the bed when I had gotten out and then snuck back into the bedroom to call her the S word. I didn't realize someone else had snuck into the bed and wriggled in next to mum. It's done to I come to your little f***.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Any time, morning, buddy. The money and daddy's been. All this is great news, buddy. You're going to get up, now here, little shton. I got wizards. Remember, it's all right, and cold, my God. In front of our children. There has to be dirty, filthy.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Friot. No, okay. She's work out. A bit of a joke to the. What's seven? No, your slide. I'm a slide. Yeah, I'm a slide.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You're a slide. You're a slide. And dad's a slide. Why don't count? No. You can't play. You can make sex very early, buddy. Your family is...
Starting point is 00:30:07 My daughter? I'm not going to call my daughter a slide. Family's weird, man. You've got a weird family. The fact that she won your wife won up you. He only likes it if it's dirty filthy. I think he's caught. That's not the first time he's seen it.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I'm surprised you even came into work after she. she used the words dirty, filthy. I think my son lying next to her was a good shield. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I just called her a big ass. Yeah, yeah, go for a little. Go for a little less. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:37 That's small. Clint, Megan Dan. And we have our very own ghost hunter on the show with us this morning. Mark Wahlbank. For a minute then when we saw the invitation to chat with you, we got very excited. You must get that a fair bit. We were like, Mark Warburbank, right.
Starting point is 00:30:54 But then they were like, oh, Mark Warbank, way better than Marky Mark. Yeah, he is. Welcome to the show. That's right. So I shared a story about the fact that I think in my house that might be haunted. The first reason I think this is because we came home. I put the key in the door, turned around, and the whole door started shaking, as if someone was trying to get out, but there was no wind.
Starting point is 00:31:16 And even when I tried to do it myself, it wouldn't happen, terrifying. And then just some strange... Does that sound like a ghost's work to you, Mark? Well, maybe. Okay. In the night, there were also some noises, but weird noises, not human noises. All through the night I was hearing, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, but different volumes, kind of like this. That sound.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And also we have an attic, and I'm just terrified of the attic. So look, Mark, I'm sure a lot of people come to you with lots of random things like this saying, what are some of the signs that they're actually, you are dealing with something here? Well, I mean, first you've got to rule out all the natural occurrences because, you know, houses do make noises. Timber will shrink and steel will shrink and expand and stuff like that. So that makes groans and taps and knocks. So you have to sort of take into consideration all those natural noises
Starting point is 00:32:07 that you may not have considered originally. Well, that's quite good from you actually. Sorry, Mark, I would have thought as a ghost hunter, you'd be like, that's a ghost. Always a ghost, always a ghost. It's always a ghost. No. When you've been doing it for so many years, you sort of learn what to look for
Starting point is 00:32:20 and you sort of recognize certain sounds that houses do make. I mean there are other factors as well but you've got to sort of really rule them out and it's all part of the detective work it's all part of what we do you can't just sort of jump to ghosts for every case and I've experienced a lot of things myself
Starting point is 00:32:34 and yes I've been unable to explain them but that doesn't mean that they're they don't have any explanation at all it just means that I haven't figured it out yet do you close have a ghost hunter have we imagined that Mark no I'm a researcher really I don't go out hunting ghosts
Starting point is 00:32:48 yeah basically I go where the stories are so if somebody tells me that the place is haunted I'll go to that place and I'll spend time in there and I'll do my research and I'll actually see what I can find because I want to have experiences as well and if somebody tells me that they're having experiences in their house well I'd like to experience those myself. Have you seen a ghost?
Starting point is 00:33:06 No, I've seen what people describe as ghosts. Whether that was a ghost or not, I don't know. I have seen a dark, misty shadow across a hallway at one point. Whether that was a ghost or not or just my eyes, I don't know, but I saw it for a good sort of minute, minute and a half. Do you actually believe in ghosts? Like, do you actually categorically go, Yes, ghosts are a thing.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I believe there's something there, yes. I went for a period where I was very skeptical about things, but then things happen that you just can't explain. They just sort of defy all explanation, and they're pretty incredible things that just make you sit up and the hair stands up in the back end there, and you go, okay, wow, that was exciting. And those are the things that keep me going.
Starting point is 00:33:41 And I've got to the point now where I know something exists. I know they exist. Wow. Well, if you're somebody that wants to know more about it, Mark has quite a few books, you can jump on hauntedauckland.com. and get his books and find out more if you're thinking that maybe
Starting point is 00:33:55 ghosts have unfinished business that they are conducting in your house like ashes. Yeah, the haunted New Zealand road trip. I want to read that. That sounds like a fun road trip. Thank you, Ma. Good luck with your future endeavours and if you find out anything definitive
Starting point is 00:34:11 or quite convincing, you know how to get untouched with us. Thank you, darling. No, thanks for having me on. A lot of severe weather warnings for parts of the country this morning. Yeah, there's an update that's come through. Apparently, Wellington Airport will be shut until at least midday today because of the winds down in Wellington. Also, Christchurch Airport is still open, but flights are severely impacted.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Plenty of flights in and out of Dunedin and Queensland are also affected. So the rain wardings are still in place for Wellington, South Malbara, Canterbury High Country, Christchurch and the Canterbury Plains as well. So stay safe out there, I think. Yeah, and stay home if you can, I think, that the best place you can be. Yeah, and so here is a little bit. hopefully have some light-hearted relief as we go through Dan's search history. What's in Dan's Google history?
Starting point is 00:34:57 Isn't sexy, isn't it weird? Will it solve a great big mystery? Or just something new would be? But every time of the week, he willingly hands over his iPhone. And it usually doesn't take me long to find the gold. I'm not going to lie. People might think this takes hours of trudging and searching. 45 seconds, max, I'd say, today.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Really? Mm-hmm. Goodness me. So, um... There's always an explanation, though. Don't come at me. Dan's one of those people that if he doesn't know the answer
Starting point is 00:35:24 he will always Google it he can't just go about life not knowing Says the king of Google like not being able to let anything go That's you babe, he learnt that from you Yeah but also time is money You're dad And if I haven't argue with you over what's right
Starting point is 00:35:38 It's wrong I'm like I can just See you're doing it now I can just forget about it You're doing it now He's literally fallen into your trap Yeah but I'm complex It depends And still gone
Starting point is 00:35:47 So I will some Okay I'll sometimes let things go Just not today Stephen Hawking wheelchair top speed For Sanibata Yeah
Starting point is 00:35:59 I can't drink His wheelchair word Sprayed coffee all over the I've been stitched up with AI on this one Because Hannah sent me A thing of him Like going really fast on his wheelchair Obviously RIP
Starting point is 00:36:12 He passed away So it must be an old video But then I've since learned it was AI But then I did want to know What his top speed was but apparently it was like three kilometres per hour. Okay, so it couldn't be that fast, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Is there a lesbian wiggle, followed by gay wiggle? Because apparently there is a gay wiggle and great, but I just wondered if they'd gone both ways with that. And apparently there's no lesbian wiggle. Is one of the wiggles out? Yeah, I believe so. I didn't know which one it was, but there was a gay wiggle. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Yeah, yeah. I watched a thing yesterday on Instagram, which I already knew, but it was a reminder of why the wiggles always do the two hands pointing, like the grr. And it's because it's great for when they're having photos with kids. it means they don't have to touch the kids. Not handsy. Yeah, no one's touching anyone.
Starting point is 00:36:51 They're just hands in front. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. Take the photo off you go. As long as your hands are visible, no one can get you. Exactly. Isn't that a thing Keanu Reeves does? Yeah, yeah, doesn't touch anyone in a photo. But then he'll like tip them $10,000.
Starting point is 00:37:04 You know, he's like super generous. It's hard to get sued when you give people money. Exactly right. Wait a minute a second. Can you get paid for charity work? Apparently you can. Yeah, because you, yeah, because charity work. The only wants to do it if he's making money.
Starting point is 00:37:17 some of the big CEOs apparently like Movember and stuff like in America and England are really rich And that's the problem Because it's like they're doing great work So why do we get to say no You're doing all that hard work as a CEO
Starting point is 00:37:34 But it's supposed to be helping people You don't get to get paid But also at what point are they taking the piss But that's the thing You sort of look at it like Why isn't that money going to the charity But then I guess they have to Someone has to do the work
Starting point is 00:37:44 Those people that will set up a charity that will then go and impact thousands of maybe kids. They should be getting paid because they have now committed their life to helping other people. They should be getting paid the most. But the people that harass you on the street to make donations, often I've read
Starting point is 00:37:58 that it's more marketing. Like, whatever gets donated just about covers their wage. Yeah. That's why you should always give money to them. Is that what you're saying? No, don't. Because I give a lot of money to charity.
Starting point is 00:38:11 I believe in it. But I do not like it when you're at Westfield, with your child, which is already stressful enough because they want sushi, they want Kmart, they want all the things. And then you've got some rando in your tracks stopping you to, and it's like...
Starting point is 00:38:28 And they're getting smart. They got my wife yesterday. She was walking out of the supermarket with some flowers. And they went, oh my God, you've got my favourite flowers. And then you obviously have to turn and go, oh, okay, and then you've all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:38:39 established conversation and there, got... Gotcha. Do you know what I just say? I'm having a really bad day, sorry. Well, you know what dance is? I don't think we do it for charity. Charities. The charity is me.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Dan do you? It never gets old. No, yeah, yeah. I just avoid anyone with a clipboard, to be honest. Just avoid like the plague. Yeah. All right. Well, did we learn anything?
Starting point is 00:38:58 Oh, wait, there's one more. Oh, there's one more? What age do penises stop growing? Oh, yeah. What's in dance, we're so sexy is it weird. Well, it's all the great. No, no, we don't get any explanation. Dan's hoping for more time.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Is this still time? Another year? Clint, Megan Dan Oh my gosh Talking the things that we love Those things are just make you feel good When someone else says them You go, oh my God, like this text
Starting point is 00:39:27 Sitting down for that 23 minutes At the end of the day With a red wine and a friends episode Oh yeah Doesn't matter what's happened that day That's my happy place And I think sometimes the best things in life Are just the simple pleasures
Starting point is 00:39:38 Absolutely aren't they And learning to appreciate them is the key Makes for a good life Do you know what my mantra is that I made up That I think is the best mantra ever a happy life is a series of happy days like it's not about this big thing it's just like
Starting point is 00:39:52 a moment of happiness today a moment of happiness tomorrow and the day after that's a happy life I've heard someone like some psychologists talk about that if the only times you're happy is when you're in Bali for a week you're only going to be happy one week of the year you're only going to find the little things in life that make you happy and add them up
Starting point is 00:40:10 here's something to celebrate cutting open a perfect avocado Oh, because you never know! You just never... You twist it and you open it, it's soft, it's green. There's no brown dots or streaks through it. Or that's the opposite, which is like, it's white and hard. Sometimes they look perfect on the outside.
Starting point is 00:40:28 You open it as a brown mess. What about this? Getting on a plane and finding out there's no one sitting next to you. Especially long haul. And they're like, and, you know, like the doors are closed and you're like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, yes. They start doing the safety briefings. and you're like, I'm in the clear, I'm in the clear.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Or a really cold, fizzy Coke with ice when it's hot and you're thirsty. Delicious. And so that first sip of a cold, fizzy, it's like a drug. Are you drinking it? You mean? Obviously, as if I'm doing a line of Coke ever. No, I'm not talking about the time you shoved it between your tricks because you had a hemorrhoid. That's also a great moment of relief.
Starting point is 00:41:06 You talked about it on the radio. I said absolutely don't do that. That's bad to do that. I never. What about this? going up to pay for something at a shop and then realizing it was on sale when you didn't think it was.
Starting point is 00:41:19 So, like, buying a pair of shoes that happened to me yesterday. They were $130. Yeah. Nothing about it. And it was 30% off at the counter. Oh, my gosh. Danielle, the things you love.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Welcome to the show, babe. Hi, guys. How are you? Good. Simple pleasures. Oh, well, my text in that I really enjoy listening to you guys on my way to work.
Starting point is 00:41:40 It sets me up for a very fantastic day. Oh, shut up, we're the thing. Now this is where Clint will start flirting with her. Just sit back down. Sorry, Clint, married and three kids. Yeah, this ride's close, Cliff. Come on, man. Three kids does put a lot of strain on your marriage, though, I'd imagine it sounds.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's enough. I've got to drive the Southern motorway four times a week. Is that a euphemism? Okay, stop it. Clint, stop it. Ignore him, Danielle. She's going to stop listening. Yes, she is.
Starting point is 00:42:09 And, Daniel, we see your text every day. You're a wonderful member of the interview. And I'm not attracted to you at all. We love it. Me and my kids live and turn it on the way to school, drop them off. I'm actually sitting in the car park. Do you want to say hi, Siena? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Say hello. Hi, you. Oh, my God, that laughing giggles. Save me that clip producer needs I want to play it for the rest of the show. That is number one on the least a giggling four-year-old. Oh, thanks for making our day, Danny. Oh, my God. Okay, let's take a few more.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Next, 0-800, the edge of 3, 343. It was just those little joys in life and we add them up. So happy life. Just got two come through that made me want to cry. I love you guys. We are talking the things we love
Starting point is 00:42:50 and those little moments that when you add them up across the day and the week, it's a good week. Absolutely. And we had Danny just pass the phone to her little girl earlier. It was too much. How's this for things we love? So hello.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Hi, my goodness. Oh my goodness. There's been cuteness chills. That is like, I always say that a giggling child is just... It's the best sound in the world, especially if it's your own child because it's just like, oh.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Speaking of children, I just love when buddies's asleep and I just, he's four years old and I creep into his room and just kiss his little cheek. And he's a... Oh, yeah, it's warm. And he's warm, little smooth.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Michaela, oh, 800 of the edge, what's the best feeling in the world? Morena team, getting home after a day and taking my bra off. Amen, sister. Amen. No man will ever.
Starting point is 00:43:41 ever understand how good it feels. Untrue, Dan and I, to try to understand the feeling, we wore bras with, like, very heavy melons inside them all day, so then when we got home, we could take it off? Oh, my God. Heaven. Amazing. I actually wore some fake breasticles the other day for a bit we're filming,
Starting point is 00:43:59 which is going to come out soon. And taking them off, I got a little fraction of the feeling. It's a lovely feeling. It's the best. Thank you, Michaela. When the underwear, it just digs in. Yeah, all day. It's digging into me right now.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Yeah. Now, Courtney, your one is I've written this exact one down as well, so you and me are on the same page. What is it? Courtney. Are you there, babe? No.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Courtney! She's gone. You'll have to say it. Okay, yeah, when you come up to an intersection, it's a red light, and just as you approach it, it turns green. You don't even need to stop. You just breeze through,
Starting point is 00:44:34 like it was almost doing it for you. Andre, from Red Beach. What's that? that feeling you just love morning? Oh, I just, I love winning $1,000 at 8 o'clock. Oh, very good, babe. Very, I see what she's done there. She knows easy money is next.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Yeah, it's very clever. I like that from her. What do you reckon, guys? Have you ever played before, Andre? No, I haven't. I literally, I don't even know how you guys have my details. This is amazing. I just really need some new curtains.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Here we are in the Tennessee leave, trying to give it a go. Okay. We'll do a practice for it. Just quickly to see if you're worthy. Okay. Can I have a country beginning with D. Denmark.
Starting point is 00:45:18 I know she's good because that's the only country in the whole world. That's with D. She's playing next. She's playing next. All right. Hold there. Andre, we'll give you a crack at it. Fortune Favors the Brave.
Starting point is 00:45:28 90 seconds away. Calm yourself. You ready? Andre's an interesting name for a lady. We also had an Andre play at 7. What's with the Andre's? day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:39 It's a cool name. Different guy. Okay, let's see how she goes next. After giving away $10,000 to Caitlin yesterday with easy money, let's see if Lightning will strike twice. Clint Megan Dan. The Edge. 1K. Easy Money.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Practice makes perfect. And now you can play anytime online. Three by a state. Good morning. Shout out to Caitlin Africa, who won $10,000 with Easy Money Live yesterday. If you missed it, we carried on playing from 8 o'clock. 940, I think, is when Caitlin ended up winning the cash. Hoping to also do that is Andre playing this morning for a grand in the hand.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Good morning. Good morning. Okay, or someone's not happy about it in the background. What's Bubba's name? She's Ivy. Beautiful name. Cute. Okay, well, 30 seconds, if you can give us 10 answers inside that time frame, we'll give you a thousand bucks. You can pass, but no repeated answers.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Okay. You can do this. Come on. Okay, see, your letter is Z or Z. Zz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z. I think it's actually easier. No, we always say exactly, it's actually easier when it's a weird word, because the weird letters,
Starting point is 00:46:47 the words come to you quicker. Yeah, because there are, I guess, less options for your brain to try and scan. Okay. Okay, beginning with Zed. Can I please have a fruit or vegetable? Um, a zucchini. Yeah, a boy's name.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Jack. Type of fitness. Umba. Yep, an outdoor activity. Uh, um, ziplining. A movie. Uh, Zulander.
Starting point is 00:47:26 A four-letter word. You're right, that's time. You refuse to pass. I respect it, but unfortunately when he got through five, you got all five. Yeah, the speed wasn't good, but the accuracy was brilliant. But also she had a crying baby near her and any parent knows that your brain will automatically just go to the crying baby
Starting point is 00:47:45 no matter what is happening. Like the world can be on fire and the baby starts crying and you just... So what you're saying, that was a great effort. It was an amazing effort. That's probably not true though. I know a lot of dads... Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:47:54 No, no, tell the mum. I know a lot of dads that can drown it out. That is actually very true, isn't. I don't think it's a general parent thing. It might be a mum thing. Well, I wanted to be fair and say parent. Obviously, I meant mother. Yeah, but you didn't.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Well done, Andre, you did it. Not quite. You're a champion, ma'am. Mom, I just called her mom. That's like what I called, what I told a caller, I loved them once. I was like, oh, that's weird. Well, he is usually flirting with callers. That is true.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I think his name was Steve, though. I wouldn't put it past you. Okay, it's happening next. Come around quack. For the last three days we've been learning this rap. It's the most lofty, the most difficult, the hardest hit the spot we've ever done. That's where we're coming back in, hopefully, with the music, after we ditch it and do the entire rap, archipella next with hit the spot.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Yeah, call your friends, text them. This is the highlight of everyone's week. Call your mom. Call your mom. Clint will probably flirt with her. Yeah. Your husband is coming. All right, we'll do it right after this.
Starting point is 00:49:07 It's a sign. Olivia's here to wish us good luck. She's not. It's just her song. I don't think she. Hey, hey, hey, hey. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. On this day, 24 years ago in 2001,
Starting point is 00:49:20 the iPod was released 1,000 songs in your pocket. Isn't that crazy? Yeah, man. Wow, that changed the game in terms of music. Obviously, there was the MP3 player before that, but I think the iPod sent it into the mainstream, eh? Thousand songs in your pocket.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Mental. So good. Right, I'm puffed. Anyway, okay, yeah, everyone has gone whee's. We've done the nervous wheeze and things because we are about to get in to this. Hit it, hit it, buggy. Hit the spot, whoa.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Hit the spot. If you are brand new to the show, I'll explain the game polages going over old ground for the OGs, but we will play a song. Ditch the music that is playing silently underneath and then right at a crescendo, right at the chorus, we'll bring the music back up
Starting point is 00:50:01 and hope that we are in perfect timing. If you were a quarter or half a second out, it just doesn't feel the same, but does not hit the spot the same. We've done many songs over the years, but this is by far the hardest. It's very rare that we've done kind of a rap song like this.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Ray, where the hell is my husband? People are trying to do this just to get the words right, just to keep in time with the track. We're doing that and one-upping it. Well, kind of two-upping it because we're cutting the track and we're all doing it in an arrangement.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Okay, so you just... The thing that gives me the most things is you don't want to be the person that lets the team down because everyone's put so much work in. You let yourself down, it's disappointing, but letting everyone else down. If I stuff it up, though, maybe I then bow out and you guys try without me. I know, if we fail, we fail as a team. Yeah, you know what, I like the pressure of knowing you get one crack at it.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Okay. Knowing that we've got a backup turn. Oh, no, Kate's here. She's making me nervous now. Oh, God, people are coming to watch. Okay, okay. I'm going to take the first line. Ash, you're coming in, then we're going to finish it all together. let's do this. That's actually
Starting point is 00:51:08 the best way to hit the spot. Oh God. All right. I need to move the hair straightener out of the way. It's not I burn myself. Okay. Okay. You should have done that before? Yeah, that is fair call down. Okay. Okay. I've learned them all. Okay. Laptops down. Okay. Are you rock? Wait, wait, wait. Oh God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:26 You good? Come on. Let's do it. Go. I would like a ring. I would like a big and shine. Oh, no! Oh, you can't say that. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:51:42 You did a lot of bad things there, Daniel. Daniel, Daniel. Are you if never... You know what? You know what? It's wide. Just wait. We can go again.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I want it to be perfect. Don't believe. Don't play the fail. No! I just see we were on crack at it and then you did that. We didn't even get the crack though. No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That's if we missed the spot. Yeah, yeah. Just wait. And he missed the first life. I'm just adding a bit of drama, mate. That's like you... Don't play the sad music. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I feel like rules of rules. I'm the moniker of the show. I think that's broken attention and I don't feel nervous anymore. He did that on purpose. That's what I mean. It's broken attention because we played for keeps, we lost, and now we're playing for pretend.
Starting point is 00:52:26 What? Are you actually not going to let us play? I think you cook that. What? Oh, okay, I'll pause the song. People show. Did we cook it? Are we absolutely done?
Starting point is 00:52:35 We just spent a week learning the song. Dan, you shut your laptop and then you cooked it. Have you been reading the lyrics the whole week? No, no, no, no, I haven't. It was just I stuffed it up at the very, very started, so I backed out of it. So far the text is saying, no, you have to do it. Just that. Do we play a song, or do you just want to get...
Starting point is 00:52:53 We're doing it again. Play a song, we'll come back and do it again. Drummer. Hit it, hit the spot. Okay, we tried to hit the spot earlier. If you just tuned in, it's a team effort this morning. Dan was supposed to kick things off and then this happened
Starting point is 00:53:08 I would like a ring I would like a ring I would like a big and shine oh no Now here's the thing I need it to We need it as a group to be perfection Okay
Starting point is 00:53:21 It was better to pull out Instead of keep going And then not hit the spot That's what she said Okay because the real thing we're doing here Is hitting the spot Yeah We need to hit it
Starting point is 00:53:30 To go again Doesn't it seem like I'm giving you a chicken tender with a bite out of it? Hey, Clint, listen here, man. I don't want a negative Nancy on our team. Okay. Okay, and have you all going to be negative Nancy?
Starting point is 00:53:43 I'm just a stickler for the rules, and I think the rules, well, we got one crack at it, and that was the crack. But, again, it's the listener. It's the people show. This would have been the first time we've had numerous cracks that hit the spot. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Speak for yourself, buddy. Aaron, good morning. What do you think? Morning, guys. How are you? Good, bud. Happy Thursday. Yes, you've got to give it another.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Let's say, let's say we smash it when we give it another go. It's not going to feel cheapened that it was our second go. No way, so you'll feel better. Nah, no, you just got to give it another go. I think lots of people want to hear it again. You guys got this. Well, technically, they didn't even get to hear, Ash, all right? So it's still our first go.
Starting point is 00:54:23 And it makes them want it more, you know what I mean? And what would Chumbabamba say? You get knocked down, you get back up again. That's what he says. The whiskey drink. Yeah, let's drink the vodka drink. Yeah. The lager drink.
Starting point is 00:54:34 What do you reckon him? You've got to. You've got to keep trying. Dan, it's okay. Clint's being a Nazi. That's fine. Yeah, yeah. Oh, don't have you allowed to say that. No, change is there. And Alex, good morning. What do you reckon?
Starting point is 00:54:46 Good morning. Look, I love the show, eh, but if you want to get back up again, you've got to get the cut stronger. That only happens over time. I don't have a week. I'll say it better. Oh, wait, so you're saying over a week, so you're saying next week. I can't have this song in my head for another week. No, we do it now or never.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Okay, well I think If we're taking the rule of three Alec is outnumbered Two to one We're doing it again We're doing it again, I believe in it Okay, but that is it I'm about to poo my pants
Starting point is 00:55:15 Just so you know Yes, okay I'm about to wet myself Come on, let's do this Just rip the band-aid off If I stuff it up again, it's done Yeah, okay, I agree Of any of us stuff it
Starting point is 00:55:23 Okay, anyone stuffs it It's cooked, goes down as a fail That's okay It makes the success Is that much more successful Just go You're dragging this out way too long. It's pissing me off.
Starting point is 00:55:36 It would have been finished already if you hadn't cooked it. Okay, okay, okay, we love each other. Hurry up. All right, you ready? Yes, he's ready. Oh, well, I was just making sure. Oh, my God, come on. Don't you stop that.
Starting point is 00:55:51 I would like a ring, I would like a diamond ring on my wedding finger. I would like a bright and shiny. Diamond that I could weave it around and talk and talk about it. And if the day would come forgive me gather, I could ever doubt it. Until death a do-a-do-a-do-a-do-a. Gotta, bad a bad of this man is testing me. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Help me, help me, love.
Starting point is 00:56:07 I need you to tell me, baby! What, the hell of my husband? I want to see you in so long to find me, oh, baby! Bad a head is my love. Now that it is now. We dragged it out longer than it needed to be. It's on me. We've got there in the end.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Yeah, his friend is coming. Thanks for singing with us. Give us and I love life. I love life. Life! Come on. Come on. It's my eyes.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Come on. All right, back again next week. It was touch and go, guys. My goodness. Clint Megan Dan. It is crazy how good AI is getting at putting out fake music. In fact, it is so good that I would say, a lot of the fake tracks
Starting point is 00:57:05 are actually that are being remixed and remade and it's almost like... Don't say better. Don't say better though. Better than the original music by the actual artist. They're not done by human. It's too perfect. Some of the best things about music is imperfections.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And the magic is lost because you know that it wasn't some human being getting inspired and trialing and erroring and trying one thing and trying another until they finally get the song that means something. Well, maybe there's a time and play. for fake music, because if I'm hanging out on a Saturday afternoon, sun's out, a few of the mates around, cracking a cold one,
Starting point is 00:57:39 and then this tune comes on, I don't really think too much about whether he's real or not. I just like the vibe that it brings. I'm going to play you music that has been remixed to kind of like Motown's 70s, 80s style, and I want you to start singing along or call the artist when you know the song. Take a listen. She want to ride me like a groove And I'm not trying to
Starting point is 00:58:08 Who is that? Post Malone What is it? Post Malone Sunflower You're a sunflower I prefer post his version Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:22 People, it's like saying It's like watching robots do hit the spot And hit the spot, no one would care And to be honest, I very rarely prefer a cover to the original anyway, even if it is to human to human. How about this one? Stand up beside the fireplace.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Take that look from on your page. Fake music, by the way. It's so much better than the original. It's so much better. It's so solidly can't wait. She knows it's too late. It's so much better. It's so much better than this.
Starting point is 00:58:58 No, it's not better. It's better. It's so whining now. One day when you're replaced by a robot, you'll go, I wish I hadn't been so cool. Are you trolling today? You'll be extra trolle. I swear to God that Oasis cover, the fake music cover,
Starting point is 00:59:11 is better than the original in my mind. You can't say it's better because the first is the first. It doesn't exist without it. So it's always the best version. How about this? Is this one better? Fake music? That's incredible, I'll give it that, that they can somehow replicate a real voice by robotic.
Starting point is 00:59:42 It's just crazy, I don't even understand it. There's no humanity in it. It sounds pretty human to me. Like, do you see the runs that fake chick does? It's crazy. But also, a fake chick could do anything. Exactly. You're constrained by your vocal cords when you're human.
Starting point is 00:59:59 Yeah. Getting a computer to do it, she can go do any note. If AI can cure cancer, I'll be down with AI. That's what we should use AI for. Okay, I got one more. You know, go do important things. Is the fake music better or worse? But if you feel like I feel, I got the end of door, women, wave your panty ho, sing the chorus and you go.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I'm slim shady. All you're all the slim shady are all the other slim shabies are just in the game. I want the real slim shady, please stand up, please stand up. Imagine if you heard that. Oh, he'd be turning in his grave. Not that he's dead. Well, then he wouldn't be doing that, would he? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I hear what you're saying, but as a human race, it is our responsibility to protect humanity, protect human achievement. Someone needs to make, here's an idea for MediaWorks, the company that owns this station, AIFM, everything's AI. The music, but it's free. So you just sell advertising on it.
Starting point is 01:00:52 And they go, well, why would we pay you? We can just get the robot to do it. Well, they wouldn't, would they? You're on now, you're just doing it. on he's doing and I'm off of both. I'm off your both. Leon's not listening. To be fair, he's not, ooh, dollar signs in his eyes. To be fair, there's kind of what Channel X is doing.
Starting point is 01:01:06 It's doing quite well without announcers. Do you guys want to not have jobs anymore? Is that what you want? What about if they still paid us? No, you just said robots would be flawless and Dan's making mistakes all the time and people still like him. I think the more mistakes I make, the more people like it. Relatable, relatable.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Clint, Megan Dan. daughter and I, she's 10, started watching friends from the beginning a few months back and because they're home sick, both of them at the moment. Are you still talking about the fact that they're sick? Oh, so. And you're coming into work. They're triggering for London.
Starting point is 01:01:36 No, but I can't call in sick if I'm not sick. Imagine if I said... I would love you to do that. You're always on sick, I'm sickless. Well, it's your... I can take tomorrow off. I'll glad if your boss... Sorry, your husband is our boss.
Starting point is 01:01:48 But if I said, hey man, I've got to stay home. Kids are sick. And he's like, well, you sound fine. I'm like, yeah, no. But what if your wife is a crazy woman? What if I have it? And then I give it to someone else. He's like, you don't have it yet.
Starting point is 01:01:59 What if we get like a special water blaster outside and I just give Clint a quick blasting before he comes in. If he gets to take his top off beforehand, he would love that. But then he'd be like, oh, I haven't fake tan this week. I want to take me a top off with the video. Yeah, actually, I haven't fake tan in a while. I can't. I absolutely can.
Starting point is 01:02:15 That's his natural tint. I know. I miss the tan. It's just two weeks ago it was so dark that he almost got cancelled. So I think he's really delayed. They did something with the lighting and I had to peel back to adjust. He went from tan to another ethnicity. And that's where you know you've gotten wrong.
Starting point is 01:02:31 His best mate, Raj was like, bro, too far. Do you know what, don't be fair? You guys aren't doing me any favours. The pace here you are, the worst the contrast looks between the three of us. This is our fault of respecting our natural skin guys. A little bit. Be a mate. Just whack a layer on once in a while.
Starting point is 01:02:47 I have. You still have a notice. Oh, darling. All right, season two episode six is where we're going in the Friends phone of this morning. Can you relate to this episode. episode where Joey and Chandler are given the babysitting duties of Ross's son Ben. Oh yes. And they leave him on a bus.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Hey, where's your baby? Oh, that's good. Maybe you'll hear you. Pull the cord. Stop the bus. Hey! No, no, no. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Wait, wait. Run up. Bus drives off. And then eventually the boys. end up going to the place where the bus has all they're lost and found and there's two babies and they don't know which one's which. So it gets worse. Isn't it crazy
Starting point is 01:03:34 that Ben was played by Dylan and Cole Sprauss? The guys from Sweet Life on deck Yeah, famous actors in their own rights. So how old's Ben now? Oh, he'd be like mid to late 20s, yeah. Crazy, eh? And that still looks the same. Like when you look at them, you're like, yeah, that is Ben. That is the kid.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Really? Yeah. I'll get your photo. All right. Where's your baby? Oh, yeah. How come it's his property of human service? on his butt. You. You are going to love this. I'd love to know
Starting point is 01:04:08 where did you accidentally leave the kid? We think it's crazy that it could happen, but it has happened because I was talking about it this morning, and producer Nipia was telling me that his parents did this with him. No one's going to beat Nipia. Yeah, so as like a six-month-old baby, we lived in Impecago and we're driving up to Tiana, which is about an hour and a half away.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Mum and dad got about an hour of the ways there and had to turn around because they realised they left me on the front door outside the house. An hour before notice it. So as a six-month-old baby, I was sat on our front porch for two hours. Are you like the youngest, middle child? No, I'm the oldest child, so they had plenty of time to learn for my sisters. Wow. Were you in like a...
Starting point is 01:04:46 Capsule? Yeah, in like a car seaty kind of situation. I was going to say that's the 80s for you, but he was born in the year 2000. Yes, yeah. It's his birthday today, actually. Happy birthday again. And you don't know, no judgment here. Have you done it?
Starting point is 01:04:58 Oh no. Yeah, we were a judge. We were a judge. So you get baby brain, whether it's your kid, someone else's kid. Where did you accidentally leave the kid? And for how long? And whose kid? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:07 And hour was quite a long time. That's sift, I think. One minute is a lot of time when it's a baby. Yeah. Okay, we'll disguise your voice and change your name if that's what it takes to get your stories next, especially if it was recent. There are severe weather warnings around the country today, and Nathan's just message saying he's in Blenham,
Starting point is 01:05:23 and the whole of Blenham is out of power. at the moment. My gosh, that's so scary. Yeah. Wellington Airport closed, by the way, and looking like a lot of flights disrupted around Christchurch. You would not want to be in the air.
Starting point is 01:05:36 On a good day, it's scary flying into Wellington. Poweroutage is in Wairapa, Wellington and Canterbury as well. It's not just... Maybe I should be doing the Friends episode with the Blackout. That was a funny. Yeah. We're focusing on the one where Joey and Chandler are in charge of Ben, Ross's kid,
Starting point is 01:05:55 accidentally leave him on a bus. I'd love to know where did you accidentally leave the kid? Have you been guilty of the exact storyline of season two, episode six? And surprisingly, people have called. We'll go to Victoria first. Morning, Victoria. Morning. Where did you leave your kid?
Starting point is 01:06:12 No judgment. What happened? Well, we travelled from Kaitair, and then we met up with family at a park in Hamilton. And there was lots of children around, and we dumped in the van, and we drove off. I had realised maybe like 20 minutes later that my son wasn't in the car and it was going on dark. And I panicked.
Starting point is 01:06:33 So what happened? You turned the car around? Where was he? Yep, my husband was driving so he realised like, oh my God, he's not in the car. So he quickly turned around. We rang like the other family members that were with us and they didn't have him in the car. And so we were driving pretty fast, panicking, praying, got to Hamilton Park
Starting point is 01:06:53 and it was just going on dark. and he was standing with a man screaming, crying. But it was actually pretty cool because my sister had given him a teddy bed just before she went to Australia. So he had that for like concert. Oh, yeah, that's really cool. I'm imagining buddy.
Starting point is 01:07:08 I'm imagining a memory of buddy standing with some strange man screaming for me and it makes me want to throw it up. And my mind would go, because he was four years old, right? So he's walking, he's mobile, which makes it worse because he could go anywhere. Wait, okay, so you obviously didn't do a head count. How many kids did you have at the time, but?
Starting point is 01:07:25 There was actually quite a few. So we come from a big family, so there may have been like nine children. See? That's a real home alone story. That's how Kevin got left behind. Always do a head count. Yeah. And look how home alone worked out.
Starting point is 01:07:37 Look how resilient Kevin ended up being a head. Yeah. We've never really seen him as an adult though, apart from McCauley Colkin. Yeah. Susie, good morning. Where did you accidentally leave the kid? Oh, wasn't me. It was my friend.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Shout out to Tracy. Bestie of the year. Tracy from Christchard, say her last name as well, me as well. No, so she had two kids. We worked at the same call centre, and she dropped her first kid off at school, and then neglected the fact that she hadn't dropped her little child off at preschool, Kendi.
Starting point is 01:08:16 And so she came to work, and then she started to lock the door, and then she heard, Mom. Oh, luckily she did it. Yeah, because of God. Oh, wow. She came straight into work, and then she just did a dart back out to the car and just, like, she was gone. Like, she was like, absolutely horrified. But at the same time, it was really funny.
Starting point is 01:08:36 That little angel that was just, it just must have been sitting so quietly in the back seat. Yeah. You know, a lot of cars now have got, like, in Europe, when we rent cars, they've got sensors now. So if you close the door and there's still, like, a weight in the back seat, it will have an alert that says there's, there's, there's a child that's still in the car seat. Technology, eh? We didn't have that in the 80s. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:58 They didn't have seat belts. Exactly. Yeah, thanks Susie. Remember that caller comes to mind as well? I mean, there's a different time, but like the person that used to be a prison warden. That's right. And remember they said that some of the prison guards
Starting point is 01:09:10 that have been in there a long time would be let out on good behavior in the weekends? The prisoners, not prison guards. Oh, yes, so the prisoners would be let out on good behavior. And this person's dad, who was a prison guard, would, like, leave her with the good prisoners in the weekend. so mum and dad could have a weekend.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Free babysitting. He hadn't assaulted anyone in years. So it was fine, you know. Every tax fraud's fine. Yeah, yeah. He does a great babysitters. Clint, Megan Dan. How rich are Kiwis per capita?
Starting point is 01:09:39 And how do we compare to wealth when it comes to the rest of the world? The richest people in the world actually come from Switzerland. If they ended up selling up everything in the had car house, whatever, I moved countries. Because they say get a Swiss bank account, eh? They're the best bank accounts together. I wonder why, what's that about? Yeah, why is it? They pay tax in Switzerland?
Starting point is 01:09:58 Is it tax-free? Is it one of those tax havens? No, I don't think so. I think it's because Switzerland are less influenced by global turmoil because they're, like, shielded. If you list all the famous people that live around Lake Geneva and Switzerland,
Starting point is 01:10:12 it's like the who's who of the music world pretty much. Really? Yeah. Well, they reckon this is according to the Alliance Global Wealth Report. USA comes in a number two per capita. I mean, there's a lot of people in America but you just see so many people
Starting point is 01:10:25 that have nothing. See, often when we read these statistics, I believe them, and then an anomaly like that comes out and you go, I don't believe anything now. Well, Australia comes in at number three, Singapore at number four, and New Zealand comes in at number five
Starting point is 01:10:38 in terms of the wealthiest countries per capita if you sell up everything that you own. No, I can't believe the America thing. Number two. I just can't believe that. There just must be, I mean, I guess you've got your Jeff Bezos and your Elon Musk, so he ends up probably
Starting point is 01:10:52 covering almost every single homeless person in America what's the amount of wealthy you need the median, not the mean not the average. Not the average. The average would be different right. And so I guess per capita there are rich people bringing up those that have nothing in America. And the same with Singapore. There's like so many
Starting point is 01:11:06 billionaires there but the working class are like the majority of the people are earning nothing. And in New Zealand we've got like so many people at the moment struggling. Okay, what do you reckon? What do you reckon the average New Zealanders is worth we all cashed up everything we had and then we split evenly amongst every New Zealander in the country? So we're talking you sell your house and pay the bank back for what's owed on it, just the profit plus what's in your bank account and maybe you're super.
Starting point is 01:11:29 And then we all go put it in a big pile and then we evenly divvy it out. I reckon you, look, once you take into account like cars, houses and stuff, I'm going to say 100K average. Yeah. Because obviously there'll be people that are much wealthier than that and much poorer. Yeah, maybe 50 grand. Yeah, okay, well, it's so much higher than that. They reckon the average New Zealander,
