This is a podcast from Rover. separately make their way to the studio. They arrive as three ordinary humans.
Three people with boring mundane pathetic lives.
Hey! Clint's life's quite exciting.
Now, with their powers combined, this is Captain Planet.
No, no. It's not Captain Planet.
Oh right. Sorry, Force of Abbott.
This is Clint, Meg and Dan.
Kia ora, good morning 6am Friday.
Hell of a show that though, Captain Planet.
Oh wasn't it a fantastic show.
You can't find it anywhere either,
because I tried to find episodes to stream on the TV for the kids on YouTube.
Captain Planet, she's hard to find.
It wasn't that show ahead of its time.
It was, it was all about environmental issues.
You're so right boys.
Bringing your superpowers together
as a collective group of friends
to create a superhero that cleaned up the ocean.
Yeah.
Oh my goodness mate, I used to love the,
I used to have the hots for the woman that had wind.
What's her name?
Fat one, I don't remember who it'd be.
What are you used to fart?
No, she'd go, weee!
Oh yeah, Gaia?
Yeah, I think it was Aya.
She looked like Gaia.
No, Gaia was the goddess that would like run the people.
She was like the boss.
Oh, blondie, you'd quite like blondie.
She was like Russian or something.
She looked like my mom.
She'd go, VIND!
Yeah, VIND!
And then there was Water, Heart, Girl, Planet.
Your water was good?
I end the thing for like, Caton Planet.
Caton Planet was actually quite, God, what a piece of ass. Yeah, Link water was good. I had a thing for like, Cattle Planet. Yeah. Cattle Planet was actually quite...
God, what a piece of ass.
Yeah, Linka was from the Soviet Union.
Yeah, she goes to Linka.
Oh, that's what was in the intro.
Linka from the Soviet Union.
God, this is such a millennial chat.
I know.
I know.
If your Tuesdays aren't up this early, why would they be?
For my millennials, if you are listening,
there's a couple of songs that in your music
Friday you'll just have blast like blowbacks nope? Nope! You'll have blast blowbacks!
What is it? Flashbacks! Flashbacks! Because obviously I told you... You had blasts from the past and flashbacks confused.
Evanescence and Horns deep released a song but Avril Lavigne and Simple Plan have also released a song.
Wow.
What is it?
2001?
Crazy, isn't it?
Blast Backs.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh my gosh.
My kids made me look like an a-hole last night.
Not hard to do though, is it Meg?
I think we do that once a day, twice a day Dan.
Sometimes three.
Yeah, we've got Kelly that you don't know about.
We're having dinner and each person asks a question at dinner
that we all answer.
My daughter's question was,
if you could invite three people to dinner,
dead or alive, celebrity or people you know,
who would you invite?
Which the answer is your mum, you and your brother.
The end.
Moving on to the next question.
Next question.
Yeah, that's great. That's what you say to your daughter.
Okay, well, I went with Jeff Probst.
Oh, for God's sake.
Of course you've got him. A boring man alive.
I can talk Survivor, because he's the host of 48 seasons of Survivor.
Yeah.
And then I went John Mayer.
Oh my God.
Because I thought he could just play some tunes after dinner and stuff.
And my wife and I collectively both think he's great.
So you want him to talk to her during dinner,
be like, all right, all right, John, your turn, you're up.
You're the entertainment.
And then, my wife's like, I already know.
You didn't say Megan Fox in front of your children.
You didn't say Megan Fox in front of your children.
I said, mum would like someone to talk to as well,
and I think her and Megan Fox would get along great.
Oh God, Clint!
So Megan Fox, John Mayer and Jeff Probst.
But your family isn't there.
No, no, no, your family, so your wife and kids
are automatically there joining the four of us.
How long do you take to eat dinner just out of interest?
Kids eat slow, 40 minutes.
So that's 40 minutes of Clint trying to convince Megan Fox
to have a threesome with him.
In front of his kids, and the kids are right there,
they're going, dad, I just want to have my beef roast. What's going on why do you keep asking me about hers? Yeah so then
my son goes next and then he starts thinking about and he's like
Auntie Donna and my auntie passed away from cancer about a month ago.
and my auntie passed away from cancer about a month ago. Oh my god.
Then he goes, Nana Lee,
and she passed away a few years ago.
Listen.
And then he goes, and then Nana, which is my mum.
And he goes, cause then that way, my mum, his Nana,
can be with her sister and her mum that's all passed
and they can all have dinner together.
And so-
And you're like, I'm just trying to get laid here, can't I?
Yeah, he's like, none of it. None of it. And they're like, I'm just trying to get laid here, can't I?
Yeah, he's like, none of them are hot.
Who am I meant to have sex with?
I'm related to two of them.
It's all my relatives that have passed
and also my mum so she can spend the evening.
Thanks, Ty.
And he's like, okay, he can have four Ty.
Who's the fourth? He's like Megan Fox.
Yes! That's my boy.
It's working, it's working.
Alright, he is my kid, he is Megan Fox. Yes! It's my boy. It's working. It's working. He is my kid. He is my kid.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
Switch out the music. Okay. Oh, okay. Serious one.
Thank you, Clint. I'm your hand Forever I'll love you forever
I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise
She doesn't know the key, but she doesn't know the words
I do know every word, for some reason this is stuck
I sing this every day at our Sacre Heart College
It's the most famous Christian song ever, isn't it?
Oh yeah, Meg went to like a religious school
I'm Catholic, I'm baptised. I'm a godparent.
God, some of the stuff you've done in God's eyes go...
I had my baptism anniversary just the other day. Mum always texts me.
When were you baptised, Ann?
Oh, I don't think I've ever been baptised.
Oh, you're not gonna like that when you get to the pearly gates.
But hold on, if Meg's been baptised and she gets to the pearly gates, God's gone, but you've done all this stuff.
Excuse me, then I'll go, sorry, here's my certificate.
And he'll go, yeah, but that was voided when you...
No.
...did XYZ.
I'm sorry.
XYZ and then back to A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.
I was baptised on the 23rd of April.
No.
It doesn't say.
We believe you. It doesn doesn't matter it's completely irrelevant
what is relevant is that we have a new Pope he is 69 brilliant young guy today
yeah although in the scheme of Pope's I actually think probably is sorry he's
like very young for a Pope he's American oh first ever American. First ever American born Pope.
He's got two brothers, he studied in US
before he moved to, I think,
the theological education in Chicago.
Then went to Rome at 27, where he became a priest
and I think has been there ever since,
going around Peru and stuff.
His name is Robert Francis Prevost.
Would you like to see him?
Yeah. Sure, yeah.
Does he look like he's healthy?
Because they always choose one. He looks young and healthy. He looks like he's healthy? Cause they always choose one and I'm like,
God, he looks like he's healthy.
69 is a young Pope, I reckon.
That is a young guy.
Oh yeah.
Handsome.
Handsome.
Handsome Pope.
He's still got a bit of his hair.
It is white, but, and he looks like he's got a great tan.
Now, a clean, very good tan.
But to be Pope, you still have to be a virgin, right?
I think to be like, you know Clint, if you...
What? A virgin at 69?
I think so, like if you're a priest and stuff,
you're not allowed to have done that.
Fornicated.
Yeah.
Check and chat GBT is telling me no,
Pope does not need to be a virgin.
Oh right, okay, oh good on him.
Well, so you could have been in the running
to be a Pope right up until you were like 26.
Yeah.
Yeah, I could have actually.
And then at 27, your mum's like,
good one, Daniel.
Well, you've ruined your chances of being the pope now.
Now he can't be pope.
Some good news, because I think the last pope,
oh, look at all the people crying.
Wow, the people that have turned out to see him,
it's like Michael Jackson.
Weird, because they don't even know who it's gonna be.
So it's like, he's not even proper famous yet.
And to people that are religious,
he is the closest you can be to God, right?
He is the highest of holiness.
Yeah, he's the one that's like-
Well, he wouldn't say that though.
He wouldn't compare himself to God.
No, no, he should be humble.
Well, he shouldn't be if he's the Pope.
He should be close to God.
Close, yeah.
But it sounds positive in the way that Pope Francis was
the last Pope who championed migrants of the poor. And Pope Leo has long embraced marginalised groups.
So fingers crossed.
Isn't that crazy that you'd be, when you become Pope, you're like,
this is the last job I'll ever have, I'll die doing this job.
You know, like you never think of that when you're doing a job.
So you don't get a three month trial?
So like if he after three months goes, this kind of sucks.
No, this is the greatest, greatest thing he could ever have possibly this is the biggest
promotion you can ever get mix just show me another photo he doesn't have a great
header here my bad must know the other photo he's got one of those funny things
on this and this is a red cap um do you think it pays well I don't think you
need money with them when you're put yeah but like what you never have to pay
for anything anymore no you just say they feed you they house you they do I think it pays well. I don't think you need money when you're Pope. Yeah, but like, what, you never have to pay
for anything anymore?
No, you just, they feed ya, they house ya,
they do everything, they clothe ya.
Or what if you wanna go and like,
make yourself feel good by buying something on impulse?
I don't think that's a Pope thing.
I don't think they go,
oh, I'm gonna go and buy a new watch today.
I don't think Popes do that.
Oh!
They sacrifice that when they become Pope.
Pope Leo.
Oh, he's got my same star sign.
Okay, moving on.
Alright, I want to get to know everyone who listens to the show nice and early.
If you want to jump on the phones, we'll sort you out with a voucher to go spend in store.
See you over the weekend.
Has Meek got the hots for the Pope?
Of all people, aye.
Of all people, aye.
Let's go! Of all people, aye. Who'd have thought, hours of bored. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's go!
We're getting through them.
Word on the street is though,
we're getting so many more new listeners to the show every day
that it's really hard to keep up by only doing Get to Know You once a day.
Yeah, we have to do it at least three times a day to scratch the surface clean.
Even then, it's just like a flood of people waiting, banging on the door going,
My turn!
Yeah, millions of people screaming.
It's a problem we don't mind having.
Next we're going to throw a question at Awania.
We'll assume your answer.
And whoever's closest wins.
It's Olivia this morning.
She works as an EA and office manager for Domino's Pizza.
Oh my goodness.
She drives a Mitzi cold, 28 years old, got a partner and a dog called Freddie
and she falls over in public for some reason.
Ah bless you Olivia.
Maybe get that checked out the doctor.
Maybe your shoes are too big.
Or an inner ear problem or something like that.
Morning.
Morning.
Hey Olivia, quick question.
How high up are you at Domino's?
How can you pull some strings
to get some pizzas delivered to us next week?
Today. Today.
Okay. Oh, maybe not today, us next week? Today. Today. Okay.
Oh, maybe not today, but next week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You pull some strings, Olivia.
What happens if you're at a party, Olivia, and people are like,
Oh, Olivia, get us some pizzas.
Like, do you have a special...
That obviously happens more often than you think.
Yeah, do you have a special code that you can put in,
all of a sudden it's like half price and you've got to keep your code secret?
Well, you do, but now...
Times have changed. Yeah. Times have changed. I love code secret. Well you too, but now... Time's have changed.
Yeah.
Time's have changed.
I love a Mr. Wedge.
All right, well I do too.
Oh, Mr. Wedge.
But we're gonna ask Olivia her favourite pizza
this morning, that's gonna be it.
So she is the, something EA would say,
Executive Assistant and Office Manager for Domino's Pizza,
which means she obviously has a favourite Domino's Pizza.
Now you can choose any pizza and you can also customize it boys so I'm not
just saying standard menu here. Or do I just give my favorite or do I?
It has to be a Domino's bear one that Domino's offers because she would have.
I know what you're gonna choose Daniel so I want to get him first Mr. Wedge.
Okay I wasn't gonna choose that. Mr. Wedge on a thin and crispy though Mr. Wedge
should always be on thin and crispy. You know I've never had a Mr. Wedge. You haven't lived, you haven't lived.
Especially on thin and crispy.
There's no meat on it though, right?
No, well there's bacon actually. I get the bacon taken off.
So my guess for Olivia is Mr. Wedge on thin and crispy only.
Okay, I reckon Olivia's more of a traditional gal and you know she works with Domino's and
thinks she'd have a real specific one but no she just likes a thin and crispy pepperoni.
Thin and crispy pep? Yeah so cheese, pepperoni, no but not a
value range if it's on thin and crispy clif. Oh my goodness no. You pay an extra buck or whatever.
She likes it, it's not for her. Olivia I'm gonna tell you what the greatest pizza that you offer is and
hopefully you go oh my god yes that would be. It's the butter chicken pizza and you get the garlic cheese stuffed crust.
So it's like you're getting a garlic naan at the back with the butter chicken piece.
It's honestly a game changer.
You'll order it every single time.
Clint's rich, you can tell he's going for the gourmet ones.
You could have picked any pizza, it's a hypothetical game.
Picks it up and it's Tesla.
The Robiners do do like lots of like hot dog ones and stuff crusty things.
I don't know, I don't do anything, anything.
Okay, so Mr Wedge, pepperoni, thin and crispy,
or is it the garlic, cheese, stuff crust, butter chicken?
You guys were very close because those are my top three,
but my actual answer is pepi paneer, which is part of the Indian range. Oh so Clint wins.
Clint wins, he's back with a win.
Yes. Well done.
It's bloody good the Indian range you guys got.
It's so good.
Oh my god.
Yeah pepi paneer I'm looking at now, diced paneer cheese, tomatoes, onion capsicum,
spicy jalapenos.
You must have had a lot of Indian food growing up because like two or three of your best friends
are Indians right?
Actually my best friend that I made
when I was five years old,
I'm going around to his mum and dad's for dinner tonight.
She's making curry chicken and sark and naan.
Oh, God, I don't.
And I don't think my friend and his wife
are actually coming over.
I'm just going around to his parents' house for dinner,
because I haven't seen them in ages.
That's such a Clint thing.
Oh, God.
I have a friend of mine who has an Indian mum,
and she has promised me and Guy Curry
and I'm like I don't actually care if my friend is there or not.
Yeah I don't mind if they are there but I don't want them to feel like they have to
be there so I'm going to Rikimasi and Sandal Bapas tonight.
Amazing, can I come?
I want to have like a traditional onion bhaji.
Rikimasi would be like yeah yes yes bring your friend.
Oh yeah bring him.
What choice is that?
Hey Ayla. I'll be there. I'll have a night darling. Oh Degra, hey, yes, bring your friend. Oh, yeah, bring him. What's yours is that, hey, hey, love.
I'll be there.
I'll be there.
Hi, good night, darling.
Oh, digra, digra, hey, darling, hey, digra.
Don't do the accent.
Olivia, she's still here.
She loves you no do it.
Olivia's still here, hi, Olivia.
Sorry, Olivia.
Hi.
All right, not that you need more vouchers for free food,
but we're gonna send you a voucher to go spend in stores,
you can spend on coffee, you can get there cheeseburger pie,
whatever the hell you like, Olivia, get amongst. I get the thrill, that would be awesome.
Thank you.
Very welcome, have a blighting weekend Olivia.
I'll be waiting for that Domino's pizza next week.
Yeah, how good.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
If you want to join the other 1.8 million people that already follow him, you can, Bradley.Thor.
He's a dude who's normally out in the wilderness, not always shirtless, but he just chops wood.
I think he does other bits and pieces, but for the most part, I just see him smashing wood
with a giant axe and his giant biceps
and his very tattooed body.
I can imagine that's even hot in itself,
just being able to chop a piece of wood straight.
That's how it all started, I think.
He didn't do it to be a thirst trap,
and I think that's why for some reason
he's stuck around and hasn't felt cringe,
because he actually did start this just doing
wood chopping and doing other things things and then women made him a
Thirst trap and he's like, oh, yeah, I was just actually doing instructional videos
I just said that's hot that he didn't mean to
I don't think he was not never doing this to be like hey, look at me chop wood
It was like he was genuinely trying to teach good on him skills and then it just happened
So he's probably had quite a male fan base at the start
Yeah, and it's gone down
Few of them dropped away and a lot of women would have,
I'd love to see his insights.
He's gotta be rocking a 90% female to male ratio.
Definitely.
Obviously there are some dudes
because they've been in his comment section
and One Chick asked in one of his videos,
I'm very curious what you think about
the sexualisation of men,
because I read your comments all the time,
and a lot of men are calling women out for it.
And this was his, I think, very well said response
to why it is different for men to comment in a certain way
and women to comment in that same way on the internet.
You will see men in the comments a lot on my videos
saying things like, if the roles were reversed and men were making comments like this on women's
videos, women would be pissed. You see,
if the roles were reversed is not a good argument when you're talking
about a situation where the role is where all of the contextual oppression lives.
In other words,
the implications for cat calls and whistling and flirtatious comments have
been much, much steeper historically for women than those things have been for men.
You see motorcycles and cars, they share the same roadways, but we all know only motorcyclists
have to wear helmets.
We all seem to understand that fact without question.
You may be experiencing the same world,
does not mean you're experiencing it the same way.
I love that.
We're just gonna chop some wood.
Just because we're experiencing the same world
doesn't mean we're experiencing it
the same way as men and women.
Yeah, as well seen.
I like the analogy of the helmets.
He doesn't feel threatened by all those comments,
but if it was the other way around,
maybe the woman would feel threatened.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's a difference there.
And he doesn't, he doesn't feel like unsafe
because a woman is like bursting over him.
It just is different.
So if we go, oh, but then how come if we did this?
It's like life, it's different.
We are different, so the rules are different.
It's like when we celebrate International Women's Day
and we'll do something to it.
And then we always get comments from one or two dudes
that are going, what about the men?
It's like, oh, come on, man.
You've got an international women's day.
There's an international men's day.
Yeah, and you can also celebrate it.
I think they also are waiting, like,
well, why are people not celebrating it?
You have to start that celebration.
If you want to celebrate International Men's Day,
do it, do something something yeah like organize an event
that's easier to just comment international women's day events will be organized by
women you know yeah so like if you want to you guys do your one although we
realize that song we did for you last time me yeah I was a good song for that
was that the one about the cowboy that was gay yes was it definitely another
song about a gay cowboy prostate cancer thatate cancer? That's right he did have prostate cancer.
Was it for me? No that was actually for prostate awareness
week. Right.
Oh we've done a few songs. That was one of my favourites though, we took
a lot of suggestions from the listeners. Both important messages, women and prostates.
Yeah yeah. That's right.
They go hand in hand. Was that before or after we got a live prostate check on here?
I think just after.
Clint, Megan's hand.
Stinky Boots.
It's time to find out who unknowingly celebrated the most this week.
Oh, we haven't heard this in a while.
No.
I love this segment.
These are actually random celebrations that have existed this week
from Monday through to Sunday, so I've captured the best ones over the course of this week.
You have to tell me even if loosely,
how you may have celebrated that day
unknowingly to get the point.
And you can play as well.
You just sort of do it in your head.
You go, oh, how many did you get out of five?
Yeah.
Okay, Monday.
I don't know who comes up with these by the way,
but I think you can submit your own days.
Think of Adele Day. Who thought of Adele last? Me?
I'm looking at my laptop right now and here it is Adele. Where? Where? Show us. My Adele laptop?
No, she's talking about Adele the singer. Oh, I played her album 30 on
Friday last week because I was listening to Violent Q. Well I'm using Adele right this second. No. I'm using Adele right this second.
Unless you're using her for some sort of...
I didn't know it was the singing, you just said Adele Day.
Think of Adele Day, it actually has her face on the website.
Well I can't see that.
Yeah, so I gotta give it to her.
Thank you, thank you.
That's unfair.
Her album 30, one of the most underrated albums of the last 10 years.
Oh okay, well there's Laptop right here, doing a good job.
It's so...
I love that there's like a day to remind us not to forget about it.
It's like, no, we won't.
Number two, oh, Tuesday,
trying something new in the bedroom day.
Oh, Meg, you'll win that.
You don't even know what she's done.
I'm just trying to think what I've done this week
that's new. Okay, not necessarily this week.
Maybe who's the person who's tried something new?
Oh, we're getting new curtains in our bedroom.
The guy came to fit them yesterday.
Ah, unless you got something better, Meg.
I have had to make a very specific pillow fort
to be able to sleep at night due to being pregnant.
I gotta give it to Dan.
Oh, damn it.
Yes, okay, two from two.
Oh, what colour did you go with?
Like a grey, boring.
Yeah, but they're blackouts.
So it's completely dark.
You have said to us that you already have
completely dark room, you can't even see your wife.
But they smell, they're second hand ones
from the previous owners.
And I think there was someone
cooking some weird stuff in there
because it smells like some sort of.
Oh, and your curds have absorbed it.
Yeah, well they're not my cooking.
It was the previous renters.
Okay.
Like a pea lab.
No, I think it's more of a curry.
Okay. Wednesday, like a pee lab. No, I think it's more of a curry.
Okay.
Wednesday, National Concert Day.
Who has gone to a concert the most recently for the point?
Yeah, I went to one.
Also, if my room smelled like butter chicken I'd be like, yo.
But it's off butter chicken.
My last concert was...
Oh, Bluey.
Oh, now what's that now?
Here's where we question whether that's even a concert.
Yeah right. Well it was a spark arena. Unless you've got something better Webby.
I mean mine was R&B, was my last concert. Oh months ago. I gotta give it to Meg.
Thank you. Okay which is sad that Bluey beats R&B.
Yeah. Thursday, eating breakfast for dinner day. Ooh!
Oh, I eat cereal for dessert every night.
Coco Pops or NutriGrain.
What?
On the menu this week, I have breakfast for dinner,
which is like baked beans, hash browns,
little sausages for Guy.
That's not really...
Ooh, when, when?
It's on the menu, you know how I do my menu every week?
It's on the menu this week.
Hash browns for dinner.
Of course!
Have you had it?
Of course!
When? Hash browns for dinner. When course! Have you had it? Of course!
When?
Hash browns for dinner?
When?
We normally do it like a once a week meal with my baby.
You normally do it but did you do it last week?
No we're doing it this week, it's on the menu.
Hasn't done it yet.
You're doing it like on Saturday or Sunday?
It'll probably be Sunday if I'm being honest.
I'll take a little word.
I had Coco Pops for dessert yesterday.
Okay and this is a wee one, I don't know how you guys are going to win it because it's
two apiece so you need to justify how you've unknowingly celebrated Christina Day today.
So if you are a Christina, congratulations.
You got your own celebration.
One of my favourite female artists is Christina Aguilera.
And I love, I celebrate her every day.
Chris, Chrissy, Christina.
My brother's Chris.
I love your mum, Christine.
And how have you celebrated your brother?
I've already messaged your mum.
I'm messaging her right now. Christine, you are have you celebrated your brother? I've already messaged your mum, right? I'm messaging her right now.
Christine, you are a hot mumma.
You're not actually sending that.
Christine Randall.
I am.
You're not sending that.
I am.
If you send it, you win the game, I think.
Okay, I will.
Christine.
You're the best.
How do you spell her name?
C-H-R-R-S.
I don't think you have a number.
Sent.
Oh, Megwin Saga.
He's too slow with me. I'll still text her though, what I was gonna say though. You're one hot mumma. I don't think you have a number. Cent! Oh Meg wins. Bugger.
Who's blue with me?
I'll still text her what I was going to say though.
If you were one hot mummer.
Irrelevant now but.
We shouldn't do this for you.
We actually, we're too good to you.
We are actually.
You know, you get busy and you don't listen to all the show.
And then we go and reward you by playing all the best bits on a Friday that you might have missed.
Well we say they're the best bits though or are they the bits that Neeps thinks are the most embarrassing things we've done?
Yeah, producer Neeps, I'm still getting used to his producer diaries and what the take is.
You know what I mean? Like everyone has their own flair and style.
Yeah.
They all seem to like to mock us though.
Yeah, okay. Well let's find out who gets away unscathed and who gets thrown under the bus and then backed over the most.
Ata Marie, producer Neet here with another Producer Diaries.
And what a week it's been with the Edge Breakfast Band in full swing, a brand new award winning radio segment, and us being shit at our job as well.
Let's get into it.
Now I thought we'd kick this week off with some individual highlights. Why don't we start with you Meg?
It's very cool.
Love watching Nana do it.
Cool.
Love watching Nana do it.
Alright, fair play.
Won't yucky yum.
Or what about this one when trying to pick a venue for our band to play at?
Are you happy to play on a small deck?
If it fits, I'll sit.
Clint, you're not safe either, mate.
It's the Ed...
It's the Ed...
Well, I saw Ed She edge here and I stopped!
And how about this one as well?
Shaboozy, maybe you could give them your glasses you're wearing inside.
My what?
Sorry, I'll pause the song.
The glasses!
He has the power to do that!
Don't be silly Dan, I wouldn't be saying all that stuff when you're using an accent like
this on our OnlyFans podcast.
I'm from Sweden and I like to eat tempura and I like to eat skydiving. Alright, moving on.
In 2024, The Edge Breakfast Show was nominated for a New Zealand Radio Award.
However, don't know if we're going to be back up for it this year because we brought this game to air.
Gherkin, mozzarella, cheese and olives.
Spinach, carrot and olives.
Mozzarella, olives and jalapeno.
Mozzarella, tomato and garlic.
Yes, that's right. The Subway game that has taken a nation by storm.
And you wouldn't believe it if I told you, but someone actually guessed it.
Mozzarella cheese.
Carrot and barbecue sauce.
Jennifer.
That was the sub.
That was the sub?
Really?
What?
Absolutely revolutionary radio.
Each morning we get to know one of our listeners a little bit better and truck driver Jordan
called through and of course the boys could not stay mature about this.
How many loads do you reckon you do a day?
Kind of depends man.
If I'm being loaded on site then I can do up to four or five but if I'm having a south
load then obviously it takes a bit longer.
We're too immature for this shit.
Clint, I don't know if you did it on site, you must have a pretty cool boss.
We're on a mission to see if three mates can start a band with absolutely zero prior musical
experience and this week we had our first ever band practice. Not bad, not bad. We have also struck our first band argument after not deciding who's
going to sing the high part in Teenage Dirtbag. I'll let you decide who was the best. I got two tickets to a... Clint on Helium.
Meg is actually a lady.
Salty Bull Sweaty.
I sound like the old man from Family Guy.
Now I'm listening back to that.
You like popsicles? Mmm.
And that is Producer Diaries done and dusted
for another week.
I'll be back again next week with more highlights,
more lights, and everything in between as well.
We'll catch you next week.
Hooroo!
Hooroo!
Thank you, Producer Nate.
Hooroo!
Hell of a week, but yeah.
I think you also cleared up that I'm actually a lady.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm creating you the hard-hitting news this morning.
Yeah, yeah.
A bit of controversy around guys doing the high part in the 10ish dirtbag song, but it's
a guy pretending to be a girl.
The problem is we've got a girl clip, but she just can't sing in key, so it's really
Sophie's choice.
I know, because she does now the girl part being a girl.
She jumps all around the key.
Anyway, we'll decide.
What if Meg, you do it, but we just,
we teach you the key and we sing it over and over and over
so you just can't miss it.
I can't be taught.
I can't be taught to sing.
Good thing is she's really nailing the drums though.
Thank you Dan, an actual compliment.
I know.
I'm waiting for the kicker.
It's the easiest instrument of all three.
Right.
Okay, there it is.
Clint, Megan, Dan, we want to get your calls and texts on.
I was in Labour while they were what?
We've had some outrageous things that expectant parents
who aren't going through the birthing process have done
in the lead up, because sometimes it can be a long time you can be in
there anywhere from I suppose five minutes to
I don't know 25 hours, maybe longer. I don't know haven't heard it longer than that
But it's a fitting segment to bring back just before Mother's Day as well
Isn't it like a cautionary tale to dads out there? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yep. Yeah
Oh, we're actually you're good because we do keep saying we're gonna put together a coffee table book
I think it would be a great gift if you were going to give it to somebody who's about to have their first kid and it's
Like here's what not to do on the big day because they don't focus a lot on that in
Internet all classes they don't do they well they they do but I don't think they give a lot of
Emphasis and advice to the dads. It's all sort of around the mum, you know giving birth
Yeah, which is fair enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is probably...
Well, probably because...
What about the men?
What about...
I'm just like, I just had an out-of-body experience
recently.
I go...
By the way, boys, I'm just...
You would think, I'd love to see people's faces
of all of a sudden the antenatal teacher is like,
no, guys, probably best if you don't bring a chili bin
full of beers and a sandwich just for yourself.
And you'd be like
Obviously, but it can't be obvious because yeah it happens
It does happen
But some labors are long and I get where some sometimes maybe there's a dropped ball
You know where the guy does something a little bit selfish and it's been 12 hours of labor
It's also to everyone's first time if it is your first time guy
I think it's much worse when it's the second or third time. Yeah, although then that's when they relax
They're like, I know what she's, she's a boss.
She's got this, I'm gonna do my own thing.
Yeah, and I imagine like you're right, you're tired.
You're never the best version of yourself,
but probably don't do what Meg's husband, Guy, did.
He could be the first page.
Yes, yeah, well he, bless him, he's a fantastic person
and he's very supportive, but I did overhear him
speaking to the midwife when I was,
I think I was about eight centimeters at this point,
and he said, oh, my feet hurt.
So I did that.
It's a valid pain.
Standing up, standing up low.
Not to do and not to say.
He was laying down.
Anytime, if you go and speak,
if you tell my husband I'm having a baby for the first time,
I would put the house on it that he'll go to the guy
and be like, hey, make sure you wear comfy shoes, man.
At some point, at some point. It's like, it's one piece of advice. But and be like, hey, make sure you wear comfy shoes, man. At some point. At some point.
But wait, at the time, to be fair, you were laying down.
You weren't on your feet. Yes, yes, I was.
You were lazy, eh? Interesting.
Didn't even get first standing up.
Pathetic.
Hey, how is pregnancy going?
Like the highs, the lows, the wishes you weren't happening,
the things? Yeah, it's...
OK, so for me, second trimester really is
the golden trimester when people say it is.
For me, it is.
First trimester absolutely sucked in looking back now.
I don't know how I did this job.
I don't know how I did it.
Like, I was so sick every day, boys.
I don't know if I hid that well or not.
I was so bad.
Some days you had it better than others,
but I think on 90% of the time, you were bloody amazing.
I look back and I was like, holy cow, did I survive that?
And now, second try, but I am going into my third trimester
and things are starting to,
what feels like my body is falling apart
and I'm only in the early stages of it.
I said to my husband last night, I can feel it all happening.
My hips are starting to hurt,
I'm getting pregnancy insomnia every night, turning over.
So I am getting into the, this is the second hardest part
of this.
Have you packed your bag for the hospital
and has Guy packed his comfortable shoes?
That's my question.
No, this is second baby.
You don't even, honestly, you don't think
about all that stuff.
But Guy has started doing his own research
into how does he...
Find the comfiest shoes.
No, facilitate shoes.
Shoes for men.
Lippers. Maybe slippers. And shoes. To, facilitate, get... Shoes for men?
Slippers?
To facilitate birth, if we can't get anybody to look after our daughter and I can't get to a hospital and it's...
Home birth?
Or towels, towels, more towels.
You've just got new carpet.
I know, so he's now researching like how does he deliver a baby?
He's literally looking into that in case that were to be the case. Tarpolen, first of all.
Yeah, tarp, right.
No, I know, I get the carpets of what,
I mean me and the baby.
So he's looking into what he needs.
Can you one of those ice baths, those inflatable ones?
And obviously you don't have it at ice temperature.
You'd warm it up, but you could do like a water bath.
I could do a water bath.
I think you need a bigger one than an ice bath.
I know, but yeah, I don't know.
But the problem is my house is really small,
so we'd have to put it out in the carport. Oh that doesn't sound fun. Listen to Clinton and I trying to give you advice on how to give birth.
I didn't realise we were doing that until you just said that.
I was in labour while they were what we're putting together a coffee table book
of all the things not to do when your partner is giving birth
And I think it'd be a fun gift to give to any an expectant dad probably whenever you think that this segment is over
They just they just keep on coming in. Yeah, just got a text and now my partner excused himself to go to the bathroom
Took a 20 minute poo
Arrived back to the baby
20 minute poo arrived back to the baby. So you're both I guess pushing it the same sort of time.
Yeah, both giving birth.
This one's my favorite.
My hubby was at an Iron Maiden rock concert,
drunk off his face, missed the birth
and then got COVID the next day,
didn't meet his kid for a week.
I'm guessing because he had the COVID
so he couldn't get into that must've been during
like the lockdowns or something.
I was in labor, my partner was driving us through
McDonald's drive through for a chicken nugget.
Somebody else said, hey, don't ask for breakfast on the way
to the hospital as a tip.
So that seems to be happening a lot.
Do we have time do you think?
Like and she's like, yeah.
I'm just really hungry babe.
All right, let's go to Tash on our way home to the edge.
Hey Tash, what was happening during the first,
the birth of your child?
Good morning guys. Um
so
Like pretty much fully dilated my husband turned to me and said
Doesn't really hurt
Literally everyone stopped and just stared at him and was like are you kidding me? He's like I'll just be quiet now
Oh my god, you should have kicked him in the nuts and gone.
It's about 10% worse than that.
That's how she, was that, was that, that was,
I can't even imagine what had to process through his brain
of like, yes, this is a good question
to ask out loud right now.
I mean, to be fair, we were really young.
We were like, very, like we were 20.
So I think it's just a little bit, yeah.
Like, he just looked at me like, does it really hurt?
It was like a myth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
People are just making it up.
You're just getting a bit of a t-tune right now.
That's an incredible one, Tash.
Hey Tash, I'm going to send you a Mother Earth Nutty Sensations prize pack.
It's got like two large packs of nuts, they've got dessert mix, savory mix, tamariardens, maple coconut.
So good.
I've got the maple coconut, honestly.
It's like, it's so addictive.
Maple coconut almonds.
Go full flavour with Mother Earth nutty sensations.
This feels like there's more to this story.
We'll get to the phones, but can we do what not to do
when you're giving birth?
My mother invited a criminal.
He got out of prison to watch me be born
because he said he was my father but he wasn't.
He just wanted a free day out.
What?
There's too much to...
Oh my god.
The mother must have been like a prison worker or something right? To be able to have access to the prisoners.
Or like maybe it was somebody that she used to be with and...
And also why is the mother making that decision?
Did they give him a release so he could watch the birth of his child and then they found out later
with a paternity test? He wasn't in it.
No, she was a meth head. She's just checked through again. What the mother?
Okay, we need to find out more to that story.
Oh, and do these. Janet, what was your husband doing when you were giving birth?
So he was busy on trade meeting, bidding on this bloody caravan that he wanted in labour with our third baby so but
he said oh no because the other two took a while so it'll be alright but no it wasn't
and so I'm like no we need to go we need to go and he's like no no no it's nearly finished
it's nearly finished. But then you get to auto extend every time someone puts in a bid
last minute. Yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's exactly what was happening.
And he's like, no, no, no.
Just, you know, a few more minutes, a few more minutes.
And he finally got this caravan and we just made it to the hospital.
Oh, so he did buy it.
And my daughter arrived.
Yes, yes, yes.
He got the caravan.
Got a good day for him though.
A caravan and a kid.
Yeah.
That's a memorable day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now you've had like lovely family holidays in it?
Oh yes, yes, yes.
Oh my god.
Yeah, the baby was a couple days old and we had to travel the South Island to go pick
it up though, so.
Oh my god, Janet!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
Janet, Janet, you are so good.
Happy Mother's Day, Janet, for Sunday.
She can tell you she's still a little bit dark about it.
Oh yeah, oh wow, alright, we need to pick this up again next week.
Yeah, we might, we'll have to find out, we'll have to talk to Ruby about what it meant that the criminal watched her give birth or something.
Her meth head mother invited a criminal to her birth because she thought that her daughter had...
Let me, can, okay, quickly ask Dad.
Oh, we've got her?
Was it, was it your mum that was on meth?
Who was on meth?
Ah, yes.
Yes. So mum was on meth and she invited a criminal because he got out of prison because he thought he was the dad
What I?
He didn't think he was the dad. They were like friends. Yeah, and I guess she just like
Said he was just so he but he knew he wasn't obviously
Yes, you're like
Get a free day out and have a good time I guess.
And wait, so your mum was on meth and she's like obviously like giving birth to you.
How are you doing at the moment, Ruby?
Oh I'm great, I'm fine.
Wait, were you giving birth or was your mum giving birth to you on meth?
Yes, that one.
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness.
Wow.
Wow.
What a story.
And I'm sure Ruby is the exception to the rule.
That you've turned out...
Yeah, I've turned out.
Yeah, you've still turned out pretty decent.
She's a medical miracle.
Yeah, I think so.
And you're going to be seeing Mum for Mother's Day on Sunday?
Is she going to be annoyed you're telling everyone about this?
No, no, I won't be seeing her.
Okay. Fair enough. We won't be seeing her.
Okay. Fair enough. We won't dig deeper into why.
Yeah, yeah. I think we all know, I don't think we need to really dig into that one.
Yeah. Alright.
Clint, Megan, Dan. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Dan, leave the buttons to me thanks mate.
Okay sorry, I just wanted to try.
Stop pressing them. Lady Gaga is going to be in Australia and you can see her live in Sydney. When flights
are combination in tickets, listen for a Gaga song between nine and three then head to the
rova, sorry the edge.rova.nz to get in the draw. You just have to say what the song was.
You can get in the draw multiple times a day.
Yeah, as many times as you want.
Speaking of tours, Lorde, she has announced her tour. It's called the Ultrasound World
Tour. She's got some people doing it with her like opening for her
I've never heard. I'm definitely not cool enough to know these people
I do know one the Japanese house, but I don't know blood orange Chanel beads Empress of Jimmy Stagg
Okaloo or Niffler or Yenya you have to be like a bit of a hipster
I think to know them you ride a bike with no brakes. That's the sort of people that like those those bands
I will say though. She's rides a bike with no brakes. That's the sort of people that like those bands. I will say though, she's got it. Who rides a bike with no brakes?
Hipsters.
What?
They use their feet to put their feet on the ground
and like to stop themselves.
I can't go down Steve Hills there.
No, no, no.
Are we sure it's hipsters and it's not just younger people?
Gen Z, produced in Nipah, Nipah?
Nipah.
Nipah.
For goodness sake.
Produced in Nipah, do you know who Blood Orange,
Chanel Beads, Empress of, Jimmy Stack,
Okolou, Niffler or Yanyar is?
No idea.
Does your bike have brakes?
My bike has brakes? Yes my bike has brakes.
Oh so that makes more sense.
Yes she has announced the world tour. No Australia, no New Zealand.
Let me tell you why I think it's not that scary news.
I went through, I read so many times this morning, it's the first thing I looked at when I woke up.
I had like blary eyes, like little paper cuts and I was like where's New so many times this morning. It's the first thing I looked at when I woke up, I had like, blary eyes, like little paper cuts,
and I was like, where's New Zealand?
I kept searching.
But no, it's all of America,
and then she does all of Europe,
and then it ends in December, the 9th of December.
I think she's going to announce
a separate Summer New Zealand tour,
and she does not just Auckland,
she will go through all out New Zealand.
She'll come home for Christmas.
Yeah, she'll come home for Christmas,
and then we'll get Summer New Zealand Lord tour from Jan maybe? Do you think she's at the level of like
Eden Park yet? Like obviously... It depends on this album. I honestly think this album is crazy then yes
and then I think she'll do like Christchurch. I think she'll do Dunedin. I think Lord not only will not come to New
Zealand at all but she'll do New Zealand well. You know, she's always known her roots.
She's never been somebody that's gone too big for New Zealand.
And I think she probably doesn't make the decisions
on the tour and when, and that dates are announced, right?
It'll be the label that does most of that.
Absolutely, and it will, I mean, it's just, to me,
I'm not, it's the only artist I think I've never not,
like, I'm not worried at all.
She will be here, and it'll be,
she's keeping the best months for us.
She's doing summer.
Her mum lives in Devonport, she'll be here at some point.
Yeah I'm really excited. So it hasn't been announced again I'm guessing
everything but I'm pretty pretty sure we'll be getting Australia and New
Zealand summer tour coming from Lord January next year.
Clint, Megan, Dan. We've got a special guest in studio with his own brand new intro.
We don't know everything about sports, but luckily for us, former musician turned sports
podcaster Mitch James does.
This is Talk Sporty Timmy.
Okay, okay.
What an intro.
Feedback.
So, so, producer Neeps, fantastic job.
Talk Sporty with me.
Not my choice, but hey hey we'll roll with it.
We can workshop it.
No look I'm very impressed that was a hell of an intro. So basically this is for people
who know who Travis Kelsey is but they don't know what position he plays. So my instructions
were to make this palatable for Meg.
Yes, okay good. Total complete novice when it comes to sport. So we're gonna start off with the
girlies, alright? It's a girls' female sport. Yes, so in rugby news, Ruby Tui, who was a hero of New Zealand
rugby, she won a World Cup, she's been dropped from the Black Ferns, which is basically like
Sabrina Carpenter being left off a Mount Rushmore of singers who sing about sex. Yeah
Huge news Ruby is a
Somebody off surely she had a great season too for the chiefs Manawa
So yeah, she's been dropped which is scandalous in the rugby world for women's bizarre to me
And it's crazy that it's not bigger news, right?
Yeah, I've just heard about that. I like follow Ruby follow Ruby and stuff in the way that I know who she is.
Yeah, so they have their first game coming up this weekend.
No Ruby, but plenty of the old crew in there and a few debutants.
So they have a big series against a few different nations.
I believe Australia might be their first game.
I should probably know that considering this is my first drop on the Talks 40 to me.
Also the girlies, the tall ferns, our basketball team,
they had a narrow loss to Australia, 88 to 70,
which you may think is not that narrow in basketball,
but they were paying $14 to win.
So that is pretty good effort from
them they have a three game series against the Opals in Australia so game
two and three some room for improvement for them and finally signing off our
girly segment Grace Nweke who is the goal shoot for the Silver Ferns she has
just signed with the New South Wales Swifts which means she can't play for the Silver Ferns any longer
So this is a Russell Crowe move. This is a Russell Crowe move
You know, you're a Kiwi and she's now gone to the Aussies and she can't play for us. So
She must pay better
I'm surprised you've talked sport this long and not mentioned the Warriors
No, it's just the girls that are playing
I know, but he's three minutes into what's probably a four minute bit and he hasn't talked Warriors yet.
Okay now you need to rush through the men.
Okay.
Oh I love that.
Okay so my beautiful...
Me why?
He loves rushing through the men.
Stop talking through my Warriors segment.
Stop talking through my Warriors segment.
Alright so Magic Round just happened which is where all the teams go to Brisbane and play.
So our Warriors they were playing on Saturday night. We rushed out to a and play. So our Warriors, they were playing on Saturday night, we
rushed out to a massive lead and basically we almost caked it. We were up
by 22 points, we were millimetres away from losing it. Luke Metcalf, our very
sexy number seven, he made a cover tackle with about 10 minutes to go which
basically saved the game for us. We held on and we won 30 to 24 and it was an absolute heart-stopper so if you know
the Warriors like I do we were up by 20 22 points everyone's like oh how good are
we this year how good are we I was like you just wait all right the team that I
know they'll make it close they'll make it close. They'll make it close.
So it was an absolute heart stopper.
We are second equal on the table.
Wow.
So this is our best ever start in 30 years.
We've existed for 30 years.
This is our best ever start.
Haven't even played a good game.
Is it our year?
And that's the question.
It is our year.
Speaking of our year,
I'm doing a show with Israel Adesanya,
Kai Kara-France and Dan Hooker at Full Time Sports next week,
which is very, very exciting.
So if you wanna come along to that
with my mate Anthony Gelling,
book on Full Time's website, that'll be very fun.
How long we got, Cliff?
Well, you probably wrap it up.
I need the Warriors, by the way, playing Dragons,
7.30 tomorrow night.
Chuck that one in the calendar.
Yes, I have a whole section on Rugby Union and Auckland FC,
but it looks like I've talked way too long.
You have, you have.
So I'm way too passionate about this and forgot that this is pop radio.
Make sure you mention Anthony Gelling next time you see him,
that I did Les Mis with his sister many years ago.
I don't know what that is, Dan, but I will say it with about 3 metres distance to Jello, because he's a large man and I don't want what that is Dan but I will say it with about three meters
distance to Jello because he's a large man and I don't want to say anything
wrong to him. Clint, Megan, Dan. Oh my gosh. We don't know everything about sports but
luckily for us, former musician turned sports podcaster Mitch James does, this
is Talk Sporting. Alright we didn't get to and football, so headline things that we need to know.
Oh, quick question, what is Union
and what's the difference between
what the Warriors do and what Union is?
Good question.
Two totally different games?
Two different sports.
Two different sports, got it.
I don't think I have enough time
to explain the full nuances.
Okay, that's fine, but just different sports.
The Warriors play rugby league,
the All Blacks play rugby union.
And they play different sports.
And the Blues and the Hurricanes
and the Chiefs and the Crusaders.
Rugby Union and Rugby League are different sports.
Different rules and everything.
Yep.
Very similar but different sports.
Rugby League's better.
But speaking of Rugby Union guys, there's one big game this weekend between the Chiefs and the Crusaders who are like our big boppers.
This is Selena Gomez versus Hailey Bieber.
This is two big teams.
I'd pay a watch hand as well. One of my good mates dad's Rob Penny is the coach of the
Crusaders. He got binned last year. Everyone was talking all this shit about
him and he is killing it this year. They're playing the Chiefs who got
Damien McKenzie and Wallace Attiti back tonight for the first time in a while. So that is a massive game.
And in the football, Auckland FC, top of the table,
top of the pops in their first ever season,
410 days ago, they didn't even exist.
And now they're winning their competition.
So two semi-final leagues coming up in a couple of weeks.
Go the boys.
And that is, Sporty to me.
Is, um, Damien McKenzie, the one that kicks the ball
and has a little smile on his face?
Yes, that's him.
That's Damien.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He'll look down and then he'll look up
and he'll do this little smile.
Little cheeky smile.
Yeah, yeah, that's the guy.
I know Damien.
Our band is really starting to come together.
So I've heard.
Yeah.
Nice segue.
I think the last time you heard us, Mitch,
we were terrible, but I think you'll be very impressed. Oh, okay. With how far we've come. I've heard. Nice segue. I think the last time you heard us Mitch, we were terrible, but I think you'll be very impressed.
Oh, okay.
With how far we've come.
I'm listening.
Yeah, we're actually, we're getting much, much better.
Oh, don't say much, Mitch.
We're just getting better.
Okay.
So keep it low and then.
Well, look, last time I heard you guys,
it started off great.
Meg was on the drums.
I was thoroughly impressed.
Thank you, darling.
Dan stepped up. It was a little step down, step down but I was like you know we can work with
those. Gave me a 5 out of 10. And then Clint did whatever that was with the guitar in his hands.
I was jamming out for two hours yesterday mate I'm all over it now. Alright you know today's a new day.
We need to start putting together a writer I think sometime next week. How much is too much to ask for as a new band?
Yeah look that's a very subjective question there. So on my writer I was told to take the piss a little bit.
Really? And so for the last eight years I've had a framed picture of Morgan Freeman in a thoughtful position.
As a request?
Yeah, as a...
Not even a request, as a must.
And then I've had...
How often do you get it as a percentage?
90%.
Someone's dropped the ball before and they haven't done it.
Yeah, and that's why I moved promoters is because they didn't give me my Morgan's.
And so, so I also had five times A4, it didn't age well,
A4 pictures of goats with Conor McGregor quotes out of them.
So that one didn't age, it was good.
But a lot of booze is on mine.
Pepperoni pizza, dumplings.
Oh, dumplings, I didn't even think about putting them on!
Dumplings are good.
Are they good to eat before singing though?
I feel like dumplings is a bit of a...
You just gotta know your sauce.
Know your limit.
You just gotta know your sauce.
And your limits.
Yeah, and your limits.
Don't eat too many dumplings.
Yeah, that's me. I've got a card with my limit.
I wasn't gonna get a curry before the show.
That's risky behaviour.
Yeah.
But no, I've got
a bit of booze a bit of food and a couple wild cards on there but I've heard
murmurs allegedly of some artists who have some pretty outrageous requests
yeah I want some outrageous stuff on ours what are we thinking what are we
thinking here I mean you've heard the M&M's one the blue just blue M&M's or
what just one color but that's a bit stereotypical.
I want like, the walls painted.
For god's sake.
I'm just happy with a couple of slices of pizza
and I'm done.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, hey Mitchens.
I know your limits.
Talks morning to me.
We'll see you again on Friday next week.
See you next week.
Yeah, perfect G-Up going into the weekends.
Beautiful.
Thank you guys, see you soon.
Meg's got a special tribute for Mother's Day
coming up for us.
Buy tickets to my show.
Inside the Next Five, yeah.
Cross your town hall, May 24.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
It's Mother's Day on Sunday,
and I am a couple of months away from being a mum of two,
which is really exciting.
Still really hard for me to kind of like,
get my head around.
It's so bizarre. I feel like I'm like three and a half years in with my daughter
and I still sometimes forget I'm her mum or I'm somebody's mum
because I still so strongly feel like a daughter to my mum.
But you are.
Oh, don't get a weird and teary mic, far out.
So I wrote something for my mum and I know Mother's Day can be really triggering for a lot of people
and can be really hard of
not everyone has a good relationship with their mum or a living mum or they are trying to become a mum and are struggling at the moment.
This is purely from my perspective. I wrote something to my mum now that I've become one.
Is Philippa listening, your mum?
She normally always is.
She normally always is.
Yeah, she's pretty good.
All of our mums are pretty good
at listening to the show, aren't they?
Okay, okay.
Are you listening, Txt?
I never actually knew the sacrifices you made
or the love that you have for me
until I felt the same.
I'm not sure I thanked you for every sleepless night you comforted me back to
sleep swaying in soft light how you gave up your body and the way that it was before all permanent
changes that I caused what you might see as a flaw. Did I ever say thank you for the patience
through every age childhood tantrums to slam doors. You just rolled with every wave.
The money and time you gave to me,
quietly saved up and spent.
For classes, lessons and activities,
I never understood what it meant.
I now know you always came second,
or most likely last place.
When it came to your family, your needs took up less space
because now that I'm a mum, I see things differently
and I know that your heart lived out of your chest
the moment that you live, you met me.
I know because I feel it too with children of my own,
the love surpasses everything,
the greatest that I've ever known.
Her sleepless nights aren't selfish.
When she calls me, I will come
because I know her need for me is real.
Just like I'll always need my mum.
Well done babe.
Ew, sorry.
Wow, you must have chat GBT premium.
That was well written.
That is very well written.
There's multiple people texting through saying they're crying with us in the car.
Oh man, it's so different.
It's like I always have, I'm really like, I've got a great relationship with mum.
I'm very blessed with that.
I don't know what everyone does.
And I've always loved her.
But the moment I became a mum, I was suddenly like, oh my god, not only through all the hard bits of like how much I
realised she must have given up in her life, and even just how high pregnancy is now, but all the
bits that I didn't realise how much she would have sacrificed and just done it without even a blink
of an eye, which I would do for my kids now. So, happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there.
And if this is a hard day for you, come out on Sunday.
I hope it gets easier.
Yeah.
Send me love.
Best job in the world.
Love you mums.
Yeah, you would know that, Dan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did I ruin it?
Yeah, you're the best job in the world and you have never been one.
Yeah.
Love you mum.
I mean, I've never been a dolphin trainer, but I think they look pretty cool. That's a cool job. Yeah. Love you, Mum. I mean, I've never been a dolphin trainer, but I think they look pretty cool.
That's a cool joke.
Yeah.
Oh, Ben.
Oh, God.
How do we not put a bow on that?
Sorry, Meg.
The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast.
New Music Friday.
A few throwbacks have popped up again to make some new music.
We have Simple Plan, who you'll remember from this.
And they have teamed up with Avril
Ooh
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't like it, you're pretty
Two very hard hitters in the early 2000s
Yeah, they were like around this exact same era as well
And the song's about that
So the song is about them basically hanging out 20 years ago
and reminiscing when they were like
Top of the Pops, King of the World
Have a listen, it's called Young and Dumb
When we were young and dumb And we knew everything Pops, King of the World, have a listen, it's called Young and Dumb.
I like it.
Hard to drum this one Meg, if you wanted to learn it. Yeah it is, it is very good.
Simple Plains drummer is still got it, improving it.
Yeah.
20 years later.
Another bit of a throwback, I told you yesterday,
if you were listening, Amy Lee and Halsey,
Amy Lee from Evanescence, sorry,
and Halsey getting together for a brand new song.
I had to listen to this and I know that Halsey is a,
what do you call them, like a mimic?
She is very good at sounding, like Ariana Grande is, like sounding like other people.
Oh yeah, impersonation.
Incredibly good. In fact, I think she even did an album that was kind of like just cover songs to
other famous singers. But this one, to me, I could hardly notice the difference between
their voices and Amy Lee is a very like specific voice have a listen
It's like I want to get into it but it's kind of meh for me. For two powerhouses I was a bit gutted.
You know you needed to have chosen a bit of song.
Yeah.
Maybe it's a grow.
No I don't think it is because it's my second time listening and I wasn't...
I hated it more than this first time.
I thought Tyler's new song is good.
Tyler who brought us water, you might know her from water. She's got a song called bless
It's very Tyler it's like it says it's like exactly what I would expect from her
But it's a nice easy song to listen to.
But my pick of the week is Miley Cyrus with their song More To Lose, which is about an ex-girlfriend, my guest, Stella McCartney, and how they both like were into each other in it.
Maybe they were both even just more leaning into their first girl relationship.
And it's about the fact that they kind of both knew it wasn't going to last forever it was maybe more a fling, but then realizing afterwards it was actually like a lot. I'll stay when the ecstasy is far away
And I pray that it's coming round again
But it don't pay me
And you say
But I wish it wasn't true, no
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I knew someday you'd do what I couldn't do It's quite, um, dear I say it like musical theatre-y
Like something you'd hear at the end of the first act of like a big musical
Yeah I don't know for me
Really? I really liked it
It's very ballady
Maybe it's a whole song
It's a very strong ballad.
She's got an incredible voice.
Yeah, singing about how this girl looked like a movie star
and how she like sees her again.
Feels like it'd be on like the soundtrack to like a movie,
like in the background of like, you know, sad things happening.
But I don't know if I just go jam it out on a Friday.
Like another Hannah Montana movie where she sings it at the end.
That's what it sounds like, which is not a bad thing.
Well, you look at that. So you guys are saying it's a flop week?
Yeah, maybe.
I think overall, I like the simple plan and everyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A strange thing might have been my plan.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
It's actually just Clint and Meg at the moment because Dan's out of studio because we're bringing it back.

morning I'm on route to I don't know where we're going we're heading up a hill and we've
just turned down the side street it makes me nervous. Oh not much makes our Danny boy
nervous. Yeah well you're nowhere near an airfield so you won't be jumping out of a
plane which was your prediction I think this is much worse. Yeah not something that we
would like to do but it's something that you have kind of done before. Do you remember a little game we used to play called Look What the Cat Dragged In?
How could I forget? Where I'd go up to a house with a bag of stuff I didn't know what it was,
and then had to ask if their cat had brought it home to my house. Brilliant.
It's a little different. No cats bringing in any items this time, Clint.
No, you do have to find a house where someone's going to be home and ask if the mum of the home,
ideally, is there.
And then you are going to do a, like a sing-a-gram
for Mother's Day for a special unsuspecting mum.
And if they don't slam the door in your face
within 60 seconds, somebody's going to win $500 cash
and a Mother Earth Nutty Sensations prize back.
Yeah, we've got some-
Oh my god. We've got some mum-themed songs that you can choose from that you have to sing for a minute.
Yeah, would you like to hear them?
Okay. Or can I just choose the song?
No.
No.
Here are the songs.
Right.
It doesn't scream like tug on heartstrings, does it? We're gonna be your ride, drive those eyes Give me back Yeah?
It doesn't scream like tug on heartstrings does it?
Okay, so he's getting into it already, let's go to number two.
Number two.
This one might 660.
In my mother's eyes
Nah?
Nah, it's about out, it's a bit out of my range.
I've tried doing machu before and it failed so it's a bit too high for me. I've tried doing Machu before and it failed, so...
It's a bit too high for me.
Take a number and get in line, buddy.
Okay, what about this one? You've got two more choices.
Yeah, your favourite rapper, Tupac, has a song called Dear Mama.
You all appreciate it.
Dear Mama, don't you know we love this dear mama?
We should have printed you out a lyrics for that one, I would imagine.
Yeah, and also I don't know if a white boy singing that to a mama is gonna go down well.
Look I know you're gonna pick the next song Dan so get excited I imagine.
Your fourth choice is of course.
I put my house on and he chooses it.
It's not edge boss won't love it.
Ah yes my girl. Dion now it's tricky it's tricky because I do want
I'm part of me's leaning towards Tupac I will say I love the song I love the
song but I just don't know if I can pull them off you know I just genuinely don't
know no so I think it's making a surprise everybody
And it's probably gonna piss off our boss Casey because it's not an edge song, but I'm gonna go with Celine Dion
I don't think anybody wanted to see you pull off Tupac anyway, so
Hey look there's some people out there
Take a number and get in line
Call us, I'll wait under the edge
I'll wait under the edge now. You think Dan will complete his deer
where he has to sing 60 seconds to a mum at a door
somewhere in Auckland today.
And you'll chance him in 500 bucks if he does.
Yeah, cool.
What if the mum's not there?
What if I ask and it's a dad?
Different house.
Do I do a father's day one?
You find another house or maybe you ask them
if they've got a mum and then you find out what the name is
and you do a sing-o-gram to the dude who has a mum.
I don't know bro, that's not our problem, it's yours.
Brilliant. Okay, it's gonna happen next. Trust me, I will get this.
You've got two and a half minutes to find a victim or house and we'll see.
Don't call them a victim. Don't make me go up to a house and say it's a victim, Clint.
That just sounds horrible. Sounds like a home invasion.
When I'm getting ready for my Friday,
I don't want a random dude singing to Celine Dion
at the top of his lungs through a karaoke machine to me.
But hey, some might.
If they don't slam the door on Dan's face inside 60 seconds,
you win $500 cash and a Mother Earth Nutty Sensations prize
pack.
Go full flavour with berry shortcake and caramelised onion and vinaigrette Nutty Sensations from Mother Earth.
Who dares? Who dares? Who dares? Who dares? Who dares? Who dares? Who dares? Who dares?
Who dares?
Alright, Vanessa on her 800th inch hoping that Dan is going to complete her steer so
she can win a Mother Earth Nutty Sensations prize back and 500 bucks cash going into the weekends. Morning Vanessa. Good morning guys.
Feeling confident? Good morning, oh yeah I'm confident for Dan. Yeah I think so too, I think
you're probably about to come into a bit of cash. Yeah I mean if anyone would have said this.
Out of Meg, myself and Dan, I'd be putting my money behind Dan every day of the week.
So here's how it's going to work.
Vanessa is hoping that when Dan knocks on the door and asks if the mum's home,
he's going to then say that he's been employed to perform a sing-o-gram for Mother's Day.
If the mum doesn't slam the door in his face within 60 seconds, Vanessa wins the 500 bucks.
He completes his deal.
But if they go, sorry, I don't have time for this and shut the door in his face he
loses and we want to mum but we will accept the fact that if he can't find a
house with a mum home because she's working or whatever that's okay but as
long as the person will accept out on behalf of their mum sure or somebody's
mum okay Dan you found a house I found a house there's a there's a house that
they've got windows open it looks there's cars in the garage.
So I'm just gonna go in and risk it.
Okay, so I'm just gonna go up and say,
Happy Mother's Day, I've got a sing-a-gram for you.
Great.
And see how we go.
Carl is with me.
He's got the music.
I've got a microphone.
I'm going up to the house now.
Now last time we did do this,
somebody did say, are you filming me?
And I, is this a joke?
Do you mean that?
And it was really uncomfortable.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna hand my phone over to Carl as soon as I knock I'm not gonna be able to
hear you but hopefully you'll be able to hear me here I go knocking now
Oh it's your house! Oh my goodness! Oh hello! Hello so sorry!
My name's Dan. Turn the karaoke machine on. I'm here to do a sing-a-gram for you for Mother's Day.
