Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. mud look at her oh she's about to do her mating call settle down Meg it's time for the show Kinky this is Clint, Meg and Dan Kia ora good morning it is one to six on your Wednesday morning we're missing a voice this morning um it's because he's lost it on your Wednesday morning. We're missing a voice this morning. It's because he's lost it. Yeah. Oh, Dan was a little croaky yesterday and he started doing that thing
Starting point is 00:00:49 where he started gearing up for a day off. It's so funny because they truly didn't even notice it when he started talking about it. He goes, oh God, sorry, sorry guys. My throat's going a bit, my voice is going. Is that, is that? I think you sounded completely normal. And he kept like planting that little seed. He said it's not sore, it's just like disappearing. Yeah, and I guess that's the job, right?
Starting point is 00:01:09 If you break your collarbone, we'll see you tomorrow. But if you lose your voice Yeah, and we did talk about that. We said that you know, if we were to ensure anything it'd be our voice, wouldn't it? Do you know what's funny though? This is I think why he took the day off. He goes, yeah guys I think it's probably best if I rest the voice today so that I can be back for tomorrow. It's a big day tomorrow. It's because we're doing like a live performance of Teenage Dirtbag and he's resting his voice
Starting point is 00:01:32 so he can sing the chorus. I thought that too. I read that and I was like, that man is so committed to the gig of like, I am a performer, I'm a singer. Like the most important thing is his performance tomorrow so I need to make sure I rest the voice. And I'm unsure if his voice has taken a turn
Starting point is 00:01:48 after he did this yesterday. I haven't been gargling salt, guys. It's been coffee machine descaler. Ugh! Dan confused the coffee descaler for salt when he was doing a gargle once yesterday morning. Which is made of, I think it's the citric acid and and baking soda and I don't think that's a great thing to gargle with.
Starting point is 00:02:11 We will miss him this morning but we're still gonna have a hell of a lot of fun easy money. Is back again seven and eight every morning this week your chance to win ten thousand dollars. Yeah within like 30 seconds if you think you can do it. Crazy, today could be the day. Let's get into it. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh my gosh. And time to jump into a 6am throwback. Get you excited for the Wednesday
Starting point is 00:02:32 that's about to kick off. A couple of options this morning. Okay, okay. Could go with. Oh, the whole song. Yeah, the final episode of Friends, aired on this day in 2003. The final episode of an era.
Starting point is 00:02:48 You know, I'm gonna vote for that. I remember exactly where I was when we had our final episode. There were girls crying in the hallways of Sacred Heart College. Oh, really? Yeah, I remember. I so clearly remember it. There were people bawling their eyes out like a tragedy had happened. And you would just walk down the hallway and see girls like left and right
Starting point is 00:03:03 hugging each other and crying. Imagine then, and I watched the Friends documentary, how upsetting that was for us watching it. You imagine how like genuinely depressing it would feel and how you would have to manage those emotions if you were one of the cast members knowing that you'll that huge part of your life and the probably the most enjoyable part of your life is over forever. And there would have been some of them that would have been excited at the idea of like let me be and do something else and then others that weren't as excited.
Starting point is 00:03:33 And just the pressure even on the people like Jennifer Aniston who is you know the star to be like actually am I anything without the show? I haven't even tried anything. And it turns out she was the only one. Yeah basically. Ah maybe David Schwimmer. Also Kelly Clarkson on the stage in 2002 had a big day. The winner of American Idol 2002 is Kelly Clarkson. We kind of didn't really get the first area of American Idol. It went like global the second
Starting point is 00:04:04 season which was Clay Aiken and Ribbon Stutters. Yeah. So we didn't really get the first area of American Idol. It went like global the second season which was clay I can and ribbon style Yeah, so we didn't really get the Kelly hype here until she was Kelly Clarkson. Oh, she's got her she's got some bangers I feel it taking over Thinking of what's gonna be my love You wake up the light to tell me Where do I go? No right to tell me Doesn't kill you makes you stronger Stand a little taller For love Yeah, it is good. I think it's gonna be that one. Yeah, and we can dedicate it to Dan who's not here today Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah. Oh the friends theme also worked for him Unless you look at him more as a co-host. I really want that one. I really want that one
Starting point is 00:04:54 I just don't think we'll get away with that. I actually don't think I have the full song. I've just got a snippet of the theme song Alright Kelly Clarkson massive day 23 years ago. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. I'd love to get to know you. This morning we'll sort you out with a voucher to go spend in store a Zed. Full disclosure, before that song started I was meant to ask you to call so that you already started calling so that producer Kyle would have some time to actually like chat with you and get you lined up. Now you need to kind of save us a little bit here because you didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 No and I need you to call literally right now. Yeah, you need to call five minutes ago. In fact producer car I'll take the first one through lines are empty guys. Come on. Give us a call If you're that person that goes on and never call cuz I never get through You will get through if you call right now right this second and we'll sort you out with a voucher So you can get you know coffee pies all the stuff, all the good stuff they sell in Zia. Oh, we got one! Okay, here we go. Um... I can't again...
Starting point is 00:05:50 We can take it live. We can hear what Karl says when he takes calls. Ah! Where are they? Hello? Oh, he's pwned them up. Morning, the Edge. Hey, who's this? Hey, see? Look how lovely he is. Hey, Nicole!
Starting point is 00:06:02 Okay, I'm gonna pull you through to the studio right now. Stand by. That's kind of fun, because I don't even know how that works. Hi Nicole! Hi! Thank you for saving us and saving Clint this morning. Yeah. We didn't need another meeting after the show, we've already had like one use today and the day before so.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah. My god. Nicole, okay, I've got a few questions to ask you since we know nothing about you. What's your job? I'm currently driving home from night shift. I'm a support worker. Nicole, okay, I've got a few questions to ask you since we know nothing about you. What's your job? I'm currently driving home from night shift. I'm a support worker. Wow, we spoke to Theo yesterday who was driving home from night shift. Yeah, when did you start? What time?
Starting point is 00:06:36 At six o'clock last night. I just assume, and that's bad on me, like that everyone at this time is getting up to start their day and there's actually so many of you finishing. Yeah, so I work with autistic people. Yeah and you do a whole night shift throughout the night in case I guess, yeah, I guess you care for them. Anything works in heaven. Wow, what a selfless job, how long have you done that for? So I've worked in this job for two years and before that I worked in a disabled day placement for five years. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:07:10 And you've always wanted to work in this career? No, I just kind of stumbled upon it and I found a love for it. Wow, and you're... Super empathetic. Because the pay is probably ridiculously good as well. Oh, it must be great pay. Oh, I am the richest person in the world. Nicole will probably donate the voucher from Zed.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Oh that sucks. They can have it. What are we doing? What are we asking Nicole this morning? Ummm I was going to ask what's the most selfish thing she's ever done. Because she's ever done. Because she's so selfless. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Okay. That would be a hard one. Okay. Okay, let's do it. I'm going to say that Nicole, one time she went to a store and they were selling something that she knew was popular, maybe it was as seen on TikTok, like everyone loved it. She saw the last one and so she hid it somewhere so that she could come back and buy it later that day because she didn't have the cash at that point. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go in the same vein in the fact that Nicole was buying something
Starting point is 00:08:14 and they scanned it and it came up as the wrong price and Nicole said nothing so it just honestly knew she should have said something. She's like you know what I do enough okay this is the universe giving me something back. Again the goal it's between those two one you've either seen something in a store and hidden it from anybody else being able to purchase it or something that came up under price but you didn't say a word. And you knew it was wrong. I could probably go with Clint today. Okay. Oh wow. The worst one to be fair. To be fair, that is... It's not your fault.
Starting point is 00:08:49 How many of us are going, oh excuse me, I think you've scanned that wrong Kmart. You do want the rest of my money? That is a perfect example. Kmart is the shot. Yeah. Okay Nicole, we're going to send you out a voucher from Zed so you can go home and go to bed. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:07 You're welcome, thanks for calling this morning. If you're feeling like something adventurous for lunch, try Zed's cheeseburger pie for only $6.90. Or breakfast or dinner. Whatever you feel like. We'll get to a scandal update with Meg next. Yeah, I'm actually a little gutted Dan's not here for this one because they have cast Harry Hermione and Ron in the next Harry Potter. Remember we've been talking about it. There's another one? Yeah, the HBO series. I've talked about it to you. Oh, like the TV series. Yeah, the TV series.
Starting point is 00:09:34 But they've actually got the original actors. No. Oh, they've cast their characters. I was gonna say, Harry, if Daniel Radcliffe doesn't want to be Harry Potter, he's not doing a very bloody good job of doing other things. Clint, Megadam, let's go! Scandal with Meg. Okay, three huge roles have been cast for HBO's Harry Potter series, which by the way,
Starting point is 00:09:56 John Lithgow is who I was thinking about. But again, I think if you would say that name to me, I wouldn't be able to know who he is. Lord Farquaad from Shrek. Indeed. Nick Frost is Hagrid, if you don't know who that is. Lord Faqar from Shrek. Indeed. Nick Frost is Hagrid if you don't know who that is. He was in... He's always with Simon. It's Nick and Simon together. Simon Pegg. Oh yes I know the one. I feel like they would steer like a duo. Yeah yeah yeah. They did Hopfars and Short of the Dead and stuff. Yes yes yes exactly
Starting point is 00:10:18 and he's going to be fabulous I think as Hagrid. I actually am. I could see him. Give him like a long perm and he'd look just like him just like him sure we've interviewed him in the past and it's he's a really fascinating guy because he was a very very normal everyday I've got him what he did but worker never done acting in his life that's right but Simon was his friend who was getting into acting and then he made him audition and all of a sudden he's Nick Frost and his 30s like it was very late to the game. 53 currently.
Starting point is 00:10:47 But we have our young kids who are all nobodies which I think is really exciting but also most of the comments which I agree with all are just saying I hope they've got good parents and a good like supportive family around them because when you're 10, 12, 11 sort of age and you're about to get thrown into the spotlight, especially the young girl. Arabella Stanton is her name, she is the new Hermione and yeah you can't help it. You just see how much Emma Watson has been affected by people sexualizing her from 12, you know, and waiting for her to be 18. Although the heat on this, do you think it'll have more or less heat than the movies because we already have a cult following of the film? But then also like the movies were so like iconic back in the day that I feel the TV show will struggle to
Starting point is 00:11:32 Keep up possibly with the same sort of popularity I mean as the films even though it'll still do very well because the franchise is just huge if you want to see the three The three youngins Harry, Ron, Hermione Potter to three three four three I do think this is what everybody's gonna be talking about today and discussing. 30,000 actors auditioned for the roles. Oh my god. And these three got it here.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I'll show you them now, Clint, so you can see. Imagine how many weeks it would take to get through them all. So Arabella, I think, is the only one that doesn't look quite like Hermione. She is tanned, but Potter and Ron look exactly the same. Ron is a ginger. He's a redhead and it needed to be. Yeah, you couldn't change that I think about it. Harry looks a little skucks.
Starting point is 00:12:13 A little, excuse me? What do you mean a little skucks? I mean, I've given him a bit of a bald cut to make him look less skucks I think. He looks like a leper. He's got more res than Daniel Radcliffe did at that age I reckon. They all look like lovely sweet children right? They just look like kids and I just, as a mom I'm like so happy because they will be over the moon. I'm so happy for them but I'm just, oh please protect yourselves, look after yourselves. Yeah, I'd love to know if they're getting paid.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Oh god, surely well, even if you're that age. They could give them 50 bucks an earp and they'd still do it So maybe they're getting paid stuff all Hopefully not. All right, what you got coming up next? The world is also not just talking about the new cast of Harry Potter but the beatboxing nuns that have Gone beyond their own Catholic religious TV programming that they do Gone beyond their own Catholic religious TV programming that they do
Starting point is 00:13:11 They've now made it onto mainstream media because the world is impressed by how well this none can beat box You can be the judge and whether you think it's any good next Okay, you bring deep in the Harry Potter stuff Yeah, I miss this with the Clint Megan Dan podcast and with unfortunately Dan away, he's lost his voice this morning. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's. OK, I've seen nothing of this. So you're telling me like you're telling everyone else at the same time. Yeah, there's a couple of Brazilian nuns. Nuns from Brazil. OK, move on.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Yeah. And a priest. Don't look at me like that and then say nothing. You just hang me up. And a priest who's rocking the dog collar and they've been doing like religious programming, right? Like they have their own TV show. Like a little TV show. Is it a famous TV show? Well, not that I know of. Like in New Zealand we have Shine TV and Shine TV is like a Christian television program. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah, I used to work for Life FM and there was Life FM, Radio Rema and Shine TV. And so there's like Christian television. Anyway, you can watch everyone. No, thank you. It's free. Although they do ask for money. So these nuns have been beatboxing to, I don't know. I'm honestly trying to find out why.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Maybe it's to try and be more relatable to a younger audience. And it's now being picked up by mainstream television and TV shows in Australia have been inviting them on. One chick beatboxes, the other one's like a hype girl. She doesn't really do much. She dances. Dances? Yeah. How old are these nuns? Because when you think of a nun I'm thinking 80, 90 but are they young nuns? Are they like 40s? Nah, they look probably like late 50s, early 60s. It's really cool they're doing this. I would love to know the why. What started them to think beatboxing was the thing to go? Yeah, people on Reddit are saying, nice footwork from the second nun.
Starting point is 00:14:58 She goes hard. Her smile's contagious. There's another one. Love the hype woman. So she doesn't do anything, but I think she obviously is providing a vibe. Yeah. So are you ready to hear if it's any good or whether we're all just like trolling them. Okay. Vocation! Oh, vocation! Oh, vocation! Oh, boy, what is this?
Starting point is 00:15:40 Guys, it's a talent show! Where are they from? What's that one name? Brazil, Portuguese. Oh yeah, Brazil. That's what you said. Man, I love it. I think they're really good. Yeah, and I guess they're just doing worship, right? But then she thought, oh, well, if I can beatbox, maybe it makes their worship more interesting to watch. Oh, how cool. Yeah, they're spreading the word of the Lord in a different way. Yeah. And, um, not to cut her lunch, but there are four guys on TikTok who, when I play the clip, you're not even going to think they're doing it for real. There are four guys all doing different parts. There is no synth, no musical instruments, nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:11 It is just four guys using their mouth to do the chase and status backbone tune. Take a listen. Just four lads and their voices. Okay yeah but are they close to God? No. Because I just feel like you've just gone and put them together. They look like four guys who do a lot of naughty stuff on the weekends. Did you say girl? Okay so can I, now your names and faces are the ones on the show billboard, but can I
Starting point is 00:16:49 patch an idea? What if we tried to find like whatever religion can do the best beatboxing? So we get a representative from like the Muslim community, the Christian community, and we see who can do the best beatboxing. Right. Meg? Yeah? like the Muslim community, the Christian community and we see who can do the best beatbox. Right. Meg? Yeah? Yeah, you take that one. Um, well you know what Carl? If there are people out there right now who want to represent their religion and beatbox, then we'll take them. Okay, so if you're a beatboxer right now, we'll just throw it out there and you're keen to represent your religion. Muslim, Buddhist.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Oh, I didn't mean next, I mean over the next like, month we're going on a nationwide hunt. Oh, I think we throw it out now and then we pull in our net and then the next three minutes and there's nothing in it. Or that. And we move on. We can put it out on socials. Alright? That's gonna be an odd one to wake up to for people. Okay, so who we're trying to catch in our net, beatboxing are religious.
Starting point is 00:17:48 We need one atheist. One atheist at least, I think, to represent. Alright, we'll pull the net back in in three and a half minutes and see what we catch in it, if anything. Phones are empty. Clint Megan Dan. Stinky Bo. It's Clint Megan Dan's Watcha Watchin'.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Always Watchin'. Trailer is out. Yeah, Ocean Gate, what's it called? Titan, the Ocean Gate disaster. This wasn't so long ago. It just, god, it just leaves such an icky taste in my mouth that somebody was watching this disaster of people passing away in a horrible way and they go, that's gonna be a moneymaker.
Starting point is 00:18:23 That's gonna be. And for it to, I mean, how long ago? It's probably longer than I think actually. I thought it was last year but maybe it's two years ago. Because then you think if it's ready to hit Netflix June 11th. They had to get started straight away on it. That's what I mean right? For it to be like made edited research, cut, interviewed. Although I imagine whilst they were doing this and trying to be the first to do it they would have documented a lot of the process.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And so a lot of it would have already been shot because they've got video footage of the billionaire who was telling everybody this was going to work and how it was 100% completely safe. Yeah, yeah, that's right. But take a listen to the trailer. This drops on Netflix in a couple of weeks. There was no way of knowing when Tidal was going to fail, but it was a mathematical certainty that it would fail. Stockton saw an opportunity to restart tourist visits to Titanic.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Stockton fully believed in what he was doing and that it would work. He wanted fame. To fuel his ego. Fame. I have no desire to die. I thought Stockton was a borderline psychopath. How do you manage a person like that who owns the company? This is one of the safest things I will ever do. Nobody spoke up. It would ruin somebody's life
Starting point is 00:19:32 Stockton said Bonnie is going to be our next lead pilot. Are you nuts? I'm an accountant. No one's dying under my watch It sounds like a man to me he doesn't sound like a very nice guy obviously, and he sounds like that kind of psychopathic type that managed to become really, really rich just from backing himself so completely to the point that everyone believed him. I've always wanted to be a bit like that. I'm almost envious of people like that, that are so... It's not arrogant, but they just back themselves so completely that they convince everyone else that they should back them and stand by them because they're so confident in their words, even though they have no idea what they're talking about.
Starting point is 00:20:15 And I guess I can see why people would trust a billionaire, because you go, well for someone to have managed to forge that much success, financial success, they must be a very intelligent person and maybe they know things that most of us don't because they've been able to achieve what most of us haven't. If you want to see the trailer and that was just a clip of it, sub-sub to 3343, I'll flip it back to you so you can check it out. It's divided the internet with people saying it's cruel and sick that we would be now watching something like this and then others are being like I'm saving that to
Starting point is 00:20:47 the watch list right now. Well that's Dan, Dan Webby will be watching it as soon as it comes out. I think I mean and I will as well, for the reason that I want to see how people would blindly follow somebody who I mean he was so sure but everyone else was like it's a mathematical certainty that this won't work and that it will implode, which is exactly what happened. And then the pilot's an accountant who's never piloted anything like this before. And you go, hold on a sec. Like, so where's... it doesn't add up for me. Like, make it make sense, which is probably why I'll end up watching it. Yeah, I'm just, I'm really bad with these real life documentaries, as you know, like, ever since I got quite close to the Malayne family with Grace Malayne getting murdered a few years ago.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And then the documentaries that come out about that and knowing that the Malayne family make no money from it and don't want any money from it. I just can't get my head around, I think because I used to love true crime documentaries and things that, you know, people, I was able to take myself out of it and not really think oh that person has died and now I can't do that. And I can't, I don't know, I just think about, oh my God, those families are just sitting there,
Starting point is 00:21:51 they're still mourning their son. And now there's a documentary that they're watching. Yeah, so people can just watch and be entertained. But I know other people love it, like true crime things. Garl? Just neeps? Yeah, for me, that also, like, it makes me question people such as Elon Musk as well because he's another billionaire with like so much money and a massive enterprise and people are now
Starting point is 00:22:12 following him into outer space like that is crazy to me. So true. Yeah, I don't think I could really bring myself to watch it. It's like I already know that these people are going to die and then but also in the documentary I've seen on the trailer there's and bits going around on the internet it shows like the family as they're like waiting and you know reacting. There's this picture of his wife and she goes and you just hear this bang and it's like what's that sound? And it turns out that was the ship imploding.
Starting point is 00:22:38 So it's just. Oh god. I think it's the icky part of humans that if it's not us we can be entertained by it, but if it was our family we'd be like how evil humans you are. It's amazing how we can differentiate. But I do think it's going to be number one instantly. Of course it will be. June 11th, will you be watching?
Starting point is 00:22:58 Does it sound like something that you'll get into or not? Because the internet's really divided over its popularity and whether it'll be a successful doco or not. Clint, Megan, Dan. It's Clint, Megan, Dan's. Alright there is a documentary dropping on Netflix, June 11th Titan, the Ocean Gate disaster. I remember the sub that imploded. We want to say last year but maybe it was a couple years ago. These things do feel more recent than I think a lot of the time they are. You know, like when your dentist goes, how long has it been since you were here last? Oh, I've been sitting in there checking it's three years.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah, it was June 18th, 2023. So two years ago, nearly to the day they'll be released. Wow. We asked you, will you be watching? Because, you know, you are watching catastrophic passing of many people What are the comments that are coming through? Somebody else says I speak for everyone when I say we will be watching Another one says Netflix really said let's profit off fresh corpses again, huh? Yeah, but people watch it people love it can't wait to watch this
Starting point is 00:24:07 Someone else says there are so many better things to document than this. It's going to be number one, you wait. Alright, let's go to Mitch. Oh, I head to the edge. Hey Mitch. Hey Gay, how are you? Hey, we're good. I know you've got something you're watching and you're loving at the moment, but first off, will you watch Ocean Gate, the documentary, when it comes out?
Starting point is 00:24:21 Um, yeah, probably will get a bit of a hangover. Yeah, I can only be good. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know how many... Curiosity gets the better when it comes out? Yeah, probably we'll give it a hoon. I reckon it'll be good. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know how many... Curiosity gets the better of people, eh? Especially when it'll go to number one straight away and people will be like, oh, let's give it a geez. And what are you watching at the moment that you recommend?
Starting point is 00:24:36 Oh, I can't get enough of Billion Dollar Playground on three now. It's only new. But it's like these people that rent like billion dollar houses in Sydney and like the people that work to sort of fulfill their needs is being like the low-jack. It's so good. Oh right so it's like the staff of people that live in very very expensive homes like chefs and stuff? Oh it's like they rent them like the holiday houses so they're flying on private jets and everything. Wow so it's like people that obviously are like billionaires who rent Airbnb's and we get to kind of see what their life is
Starting point is 00:25:08 like. So good. Oh my god, here's a little bit from the trailer. Rich people want all kinds of things. If my guest wants lobster for breakfast, they get it. They want a Lamborghini? No problem, sir. You can never tell these people no. Bling, bling. Billionaires live in a different world, Tess. I thought the beach was private. He eats what I eat. He eats what you eat.
Starting point is 00:25:34 I want it. What the guest wants, the guest will get. Subcaria. Shrimp water. Five unicorns. I like crinkles. This team, we're like swans, gliding beautifully on the top. My champagne, when's it coming?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Paddling like crazy up here. It is high pressure. You're the f***ing joke, the light of the day. Do you have an issue with my leadership? Yeah. She better watch her back. Oh, they're good at getting the five unicorns, regardless of how much money you've got.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Very different, but the same sort of thing. I mean, I wish you could get this about Billionaires going on a sub because what else are they gonna do with their money you know? Look at the Titanic. I guess it's the one thing Billionaires can't buy is like being on TV because I was like why would they want why would Billionaires want to open their life to the rest of us to show us but maybe it's like when you can buy everything but you can't buy your way onto TV You've got to then go hey, would you guys like to see my life?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Oh how bizarre to get to that point How long do you think it would take for you to be that rich you become a billionaire? How long until you become an asshole? Damn will be the day like within hours On the day Slowly within the year. Within the year? If it's already May by December.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Come on guys give it five years or something to become an asshole if you're a billionaire. Yeah no I'd try. I'd try. He goes six months. Six months. Yeah reality who knows. Clint, Megan, Dan win $10,000 right now with the edge 10k EZ Money. 2x7 oh my god we could give away $10,000 right now.
Starting point is 00:27:13 And that's like obviously we could anytime we play EZ Money but Clint just played behind the scenes with me and got 9. 9 out of 10 I passed one and I had time to go back and answer and I just I blanked because I was so there was so much pressure I got nine from ten yeah absolutely doable right now oh my god okay Jamie, quick explanation of the rules Meg's gonna give you ten questions she's gonna give you a letter every answer you give must start with that letter you have 30 seconds to give us 10 answers no repeated answers and you win $10,000 you can pass I'll go back to the question if we have time okay the end are you ready Jamie yes

Starting point is 00:28:22 Ah, oats. a celebrity. An item of clothing. Sorry. No, don't be sorry. It's hard when you're on the air and there's pressure and the nerves. Oh my god, there's pressure. You got them all, but celebrities could have been Oprah, Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde. Orlando Bloom.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I saw Oprah off the iPod. And then an item of clothing, overalls, onesies, overcoats, things like that. I'm sorry, Jamie, you can continue to keep trying to get through and play, but you did very well. I will. Okay, thank you guys. No worries Thanks Jamie. No worries, Jamie.
Starting point is 00:29:06 All right, back again, 8am this morning. So in less than an hour we play again. Your chance to win 10 grand in 30 seconds. We had our band footage released yesterday for the first time and I believe we have a review from people we didn't ask it from. Yeah, yeah. Unsolicited review of our very first band performance next from Mr. and Mrs. Randall. Uh-huh. Uh, Christine and John, my mum and dad. After a few lines?
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah, I could hear the clanging of the glasses in the background. Clint, Meg and Dan. My mum and dad, I didn't ask for it, but I woke up to it this morning. Right, so it's a voice message? Yeah. You can take us to a band if you haven't seen our one and only band performance after 35 days of friends deciding to form a band with no prior experience. We are going to do another performance tomorrow at 8.30, live on the air.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Think of it as, hopefully, the studio recording. Yeah, this one song I think. Although, have you seen the comments? A lot of people are saying, we can't stop here Clint, what's the next song? Oh, they want more. They want more. But you've also heard people saying leave them wanting more. Leave, yeah, that's a good thing to do because otherwise if we do it again, they're like actually this is kind of crap. Okay. Well, if you humor me for a second this is half of the voice message that I got late last night and woke up to this morning of my mum and dad. Yeah, it was a little bit longer. I've sort of cut it down.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I can hear wine glasses being put back down on the table. So I feel like dad had a couple more than mum. But this is what they thought after watching the video, which you can as well, by texting band to 3343. It was awesome. Oh my god. It was so good. I just wanted to cry.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I said, you guys are awesome. Honestly, and Meg, she had the biggest smile in her face the whole time. She loved playing those bands, man. She just loved playing it. She was in her element. Yeah, and she was banging on those drums and she was in time.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Oh my gosh. The three of you did amazing. Honestly, you guys were amazing. I'm so proud of you. I just wanted to cry when I was listening. It was so cool. And I love those glasses that Dan had. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:15 They were cool. I wish I had a pair like that, man. He was cool, bro. Those glasses, love those glasses. I reckon that what you did deserves the radio award. So we love you guys and I'm sure your bosses are stoked. You guys are amazing. You guys can all come and play at my 70th with next year.
Starting point is 00:31:38 So all you gotta do, yell down and mag, all you gotta do is just learn a few more songs. As long as you're free too. Yeah, free. We're not paying. Okay, love you all. Bye. I literally heard his glass get bored. Like you see, bro quite a few times. That's very sweet though. And you wonder why my confidence levels are so high.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Yeah, it's unbelievable. My god. Yeah, 70 is not a bad shout. Next year sometime. We'll find out what his favourite songs are. If we keep it up. That's a thing though. I went home, my husband's very supportive but the drum set was packed down the day. We've only got a small house. And that's enough. And that's it. That's all we're doing here. So yeah, not a big enough house to have a drum set just for me to have in the background. So if you missed it yesterday, we debuted it, you said at 8 a.m. and if you were at work
Starting point is 00:32:30 or whatever by then, you can text us with bands 3343, we'll bounce you back the link to check it out. And 8.30 tomorrow, if you get a chance to tune in then, we'll be performing live, hopefully with a studio quality sound that, you know, doesn't sound like it's been recorded in the corner of a room. And with a Dan Webby with his voice rested all day today. So that is the reason he's off.
Starting point is 00:32:48 He's resting his voice. We should call him just as a test. See if he picks up and says hello. If he's on vocal rest, you shouldn't be taking our calls. That's a great idea, actually. But next on the show, Byron Smith has been representing New Zealand on the world stage in one of the world's craziest and most dangerous sports
Starting point is 00:33:07 Rumor is after finishing first he had broken ribs and internal bleeding and yet he is still gonna take alcohol next Yeah, he's either in hospital still or has just been discharged Yeah, although you go why would you do that then because the prize is something very coveted especially by our Meg In fact even pregnant I think we'd have to hold her back from competing. From doing this, yeah. Clip, Meg and Dan. Byron Smith has won gold and represented New Zealand on the world stage in the cheese racing competition. That's great. I did this last year and I came second. Tom beat me. He's a really quick guy.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I didn't want to race him again, so I went in the third race and I'm happy I did because I managed to win. Oh Meg, the coveted, what is it, a cheese wheel? It's a massive cheese wheel. It's, yeah, I know but have you seen the footage, Clint, have you seen the footage of falling down that hill? I don't know how anyone actually survives it, if I'm being honest.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Yeah, it's pretty much, I think, just straight downhill. I'm unsure how long you run for, but I think you would be hard pressed to not do at least a couple of somersaults before you hit the bottom. I think a breaking of a collarbone is unbelievably likely. We'll go to Byron and see how his one is this morning. Hey, Byron. What hurts? Morning, bro.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Hey, guys. Good morning. So this is, how many years have you entered this? I know you got second last year. So yeah, it's only my second year. Last year I came out completely unscathed though. Oh my god, okay, so then you win this year but you've come out with broken ribs and internal bleeding.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Would you do it again after winning this year? No way, I promised my wife I wouldn't and now that I've got the cheese wheel I don't need to. Okay, because Byron, I was thinking about your wife and I was reading this, I promised my wife I wouldn't, now that I've got the cheese wheel I don't need to. Okay, because Byron, I was thinking about your wife and I was reading this, I was thinking about her and I was like, my god, it must be such a mix of like, sure, you're proud, of course you're proud, they won something so amazing, but you also, I would want to strangle my husband of like, how dear, like what are you thinking, you could have died for cheese?
Starting point is 00:35:02 Yeah, that's exactly how she feels, to be honest. What are you thinking? You could have died for cheese. Yeah, that's exactly how she feels, to be honest. She's a nurse, so she has to come home and look after me. She's going to full day of nursing. OK, so what is the damage? How many are the bruised ribs or crack ribs? I've got one fractured rib. I've got a punctured lung and I've got some internal bleeding. So I'm in the hospital at the moment with a drain directly into my chest.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Oh my God. And where's the cheese? The cheese is at home in the fridge waiting for us to cut it up. Wait, so tell me you don't just win that. Tell me you win also a lot of prize money so you can take your wonderful wife who's a nurse away on a nice holiday. She's been stressed. Nothing else. That's what I told her. But then, yeah, I only left with a cheese and she was a bit disappointed.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You just get a cheese for the rest of your life, it really is just for a wheel of cheese. Literally just for a wheel of cheese and maybe a couple interviews with a radio station. Oh my god. And you have to, you must have to sign your life away before you enter out of Adrian right, so no one's liable. Nah it's actually like a completely unorganized event they cancelled it back in 2010 because nobody wanted to be liable for it yeah just a bunch of guys drinking cider on top of the hill telling you when you can go down or not. Wow okay
Starting point is 00:36:16 and you joined uh I guess you're only now one of two New Zealand winners. Mark Ellis. Mark Ellis, he won it back in 2004. Did he? Yeah. He won it back in 2004 but there's actually one other woman, can't remember her name, but she won it three times so she beats both of us. Kiwi woman? Yeah, Kiwi woman, yeah. Unreal. That's really shit from us that we didn't see that. Wow. Wow. Okay, so, wow.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Okay, and how much is the cheese worth if I want to go buy the wheel? I'm just trying to work out what the financial like prize is worth It's a hundred and fifty pounds. Oh, 300 on New Zealand dollars. Oh my god What's your hospital bill gonna cost you? Free healthcare, right? So what you do in the UK not in the US We're extremely proud. We are, weirdly.
Starting point is 00:37:07 I don't know why, but we are and we're very happy to hear that you're okay. And take it easy and I'm glad you're not entering again. Yeah, how long are you in hospital for? When do you reckon you'll get discharged? I reckon I'll only be a couple days. I reckon I'll be out in the next day or so. Okay, oh, and you've got a great story, right? Bloody great story.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Exactly, I'm some cheese. Yeah, I mean if you and Meg went head to head in like a cheese story battle, what's your greatest cheese story Meg? I definitely am not rolling down the hill for it. I've just like, you know, taken some from a party and kept it down my bra and stuff for later. But that would not be, that wouldn't... I think I was with you, that was like a work event. It was a big charcuterie board, it was all going in the bin. And they were like, does anyone else want any more cheese?
Starting point is 00:37:47 And Meg's like, whoa, whoa, you're not biffing that are you? And they were biffing that. And so Meg just shoved it down her bra and we carried it around town for the rest of the night. Byron nearly died for cheese, he knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Byron man, thank you so much for taking our call and your time, especially, I mean I know you got nothing else to do, just in the hospital, but you could be resting, so thanks, bro. No problem. Thanks guys. Have a good one.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Virgin, mate, and you. I'd love to have a guy like that in my friend circle. I think he'd just make everything more fun. So stressful. Gosh, the patience of a saint and his wife, honestly. It has to be. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:38:20 All right. Time for a little bit of a coffee catch up. Meg, it's been a busy show. Just slow it down for a second. Catch up. I up Meg, it's been a busy show. Let's just slow it down for a second catch up. Um I've talked about this for the past nine months on the on the budget of my life to try and save money for Matilda to leave which is coming up in like a month or so for me. Um so I've been doing everything I can to like not buy things that I don't think are necessary. I'm such a makeup girly and I've loved makeup my whole life but it has come down to me like scraping out foundation bottles of like, I definitely expired stuff. Like stuff I found out the back of
Starting point is 00:38:53 the drawer, I'm like oh that will still work I think. And then I finally on the weekend was like I'm buying myself, it's on special at Kemus Warehouse a $30 foundation I'll get a cheap one. And I saw a TikTok of this girl that was saying, this is the best, and she's American, she said drugstore foundation, but meaning like cheaper foundation. Pharmacist. Pharmacist, yeah. So it's the best drugstore foundation,
Starting point is 00:39:18 and I would never use anything else. And it looks unbelievable on her. It looks unbelievable like no filters she puts it on and I thought that's it I'm gonna go and buy that and I think I should have a little clip of her standing here I don't know if I gave it to Nipir in time, our producer, but I went and bought it and I have never been so disgusted in my skin before. This girl can't have a wrinkle. It's just insane how to me how bad this product is. And it, oh, you got about here.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Here it is. This is foundation. This is my favorite foundation from the drugstore. This is the L'Oreal True Match Foundation. I'm in the shade C 2.5. Love this so much. It is so good. And in my opinion, the most underrated foundation. Oh, she's wrong. Anyway, I'm just telling you as a pre-warning, I have worn it now for three days and I've sent photos to girlfriends, my most honest ones, and said,
Starting point is 00:40:14 is it just me in my head? And they've all come back and said, that looks absolutely disgusting on you. You look horrible. Your wrinkles are standing out. Your pores are standing out. Your eyebrows look bushy Everything you could possibly think about that you don't want and foundation to intensify it has
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like almost like you had spiderwebs on your cheek and then you put the foundation over the top before wiping them away I don't know and now I feel bad because I say all the skill between each is in the wrinkles. I've checked her age She's like 28. She's not even she's not even like a yangan. I just, I don't know why, I mean, it's just that, you know, if you saw that viral video too, it didn't work for me. There could be a new segment, Do Not Buy This. Well, I mean, and look, and look straight on her.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Cause everyone's always influencing everyone to buy something, and you could be like, do not. To 310 people texted and said it's my favorite foundation. You must have great skin. Oh, it must be nice. Holy cow. I can't believe how bad it looks on me. Well, if it's some people's favorite and you almost hate it,
Starting point is 00:41:11 maybe it's like a 50-50 gamble. If you've got 30 bucks, it could be the greatest 30. Or you have to also be prepared that it could be an absolute waste of money. Yeah, if you have an ounce of texture on your skin, don't get it. Yeah. My wife has maybe found a bit of a side hustle. Is there a need for this? A wardrobe organiser.
Starting point is 00:41:31 She went to my mum's house for four hours, pulled out all of her outfits, worked out what works with what, and then what pieces she had left over that she doesn't need anymore, cleared out that space and gave her options, say if she's got 20 items of clothing, how she could make 40 to 50 outfits from it. It took a long time but she really enjoyed it. She's created like a capsule wardrobe which is yeah absolutely a great business in that. Is it? Yeah fantastic business. She had a great time doing it and then I was like could be money made in that not from my mum because she's not gonna pay. So you'd do that? Yeah yeah absolutely I think it's um I think a lot of people with capsule wardrobes, it's so good when you just need like 20 pieces
Starting point is 00:42:08 but you can make so many different outfits with it. And your wife's styling. Okay, so maybe you could look into that but stay away from the L'Oreal. Oh, what's the L'Oreal? I don't know if they even want to work with us but I don't want to work with them. I think my wife would be working, she's a hair and makeup artist, I think she's working with L'Oreal so she might be the opposite. I don't know I just yeah it doesn't work for me if you see me out and about I promise I look better than this normally. Easy money back in 30 minutes 10 000 bucks in 30
Starting point is 00:42:38 seconds it could be you. The Clint Megan Dan podcast Clint Megan Dan scandal. I also have been wondering why Dan's been quiet uh he's off today, he lost his voice. Yeah, he's resting for the final swan song of MCDC band performance tomorrow at 8.30. We're doing it live. The AMAs were yesterday, something that we will never be a part of. AMAs meaning American Music Awards by the way, because I know Clint you say that when you hear that you think of like, Ask Me Anything. Yeah, I'm like, this is just a bunch of celebrities that just answer all the questions. Yeah I haven't heard great things about the American Music Awards. People have just said it was a boring year. Nothing really went down or happened.
Starting point is 00:43:16 But also if you don't have some of your biggest hitters like Taylor Swift even showing up to them doesn't it lose its credibility? She's normally always there and we really really really thought she was going to be there. There's something that is called clowning in Taylor Swift fandom where you get really deep into a rabbit hole of like what is she going to do next, she's tweeted this and she's liked that which means this album's coming out and people like lose their minds with that and people were doing that with her being at the AMAs and people were absolutely sure she was going to announce her second release of reputation. So why hasn't she just posted going, hey guys, sorry I'm
Starting point is 00:43:50 not gonna be able to make the AMAs this year, I'm doing this. Because then everyone speculates she doesn't care about the awards. Because that wouldn't be Taylor Swift to give us answers like that. Oh she doesn't do that? No not really. She that elusive friend that you text and then you never get back from and then two weeks later they'll respond to this random text that you've seen them and forgot about? I'm getting a little off track here but I think when Taylor really does mean something and connect to something she will post and that's when you know it's like very real. She'll do a story normally and she'll write a handwritten note and they'll take a photo of it and put it on her story and a little side track here is you know what's going down with Blake Lively in the Justin
Starting point is 00:44:26 DeBaldoni case? Yeah. Blake Lively is her best friend. Taylor Swift was subpoenaed for it. She didn't want to be. And the fact that Taylor hasn't said anything about it speaks volumes because normally she would write a letter defending Blake or defending her friendship and the fact that she hasn't says a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:47 So, yeah, she didn't turn up to the American Music Awards. There's a big spotlight on her at the moment because of that case. But she didn't win anyway. The big winner of the night was Billie Eilish. Oh, really? Yeah, have a listen to her speech. Oh my god, Artist of the Year. This is so crazy.
Starting point is 00:45:02 I feel speechless. Thank you so much. I love you all so much. I Wish I could be there tonight. I'm on tour getting to see you all over the world Thank you to the AMA's. Thank you to the fans. I know you voted for this It means the world to me. I am just so lucky to be to get to do what I do and To do it with you. I love you all so much. Thank you that. Yeah so the American Music Awards is voted by people so this is like a different sort of win. Oh that's cool. Yeah it's not like just people in a room who think they know music this is like your fans.
Starting point is 00:45:33 So Billie was the big winner of the night. New artist of the year was Gracie Abrams which is really cool because I just recently met her and she's a great person. Yeah she was just playing sparkarina last month. She was up against Teddy Swims, Chapel Rowan, Benson Boone. So really huge win for her. Cool to see Teddy in the same conversation as those names as well. I know. He just released a cool song too. He was up for all the awards, but Billie basically took them all out. Yeah, going to be hard to beat Billie Eilish
Starting point is 00:45:57 if you're in the same category, I would imagine. All right. One of my favorite things to do is next beat that coincidence. I had something happen to me a couple of days ago. Maybe it was over the weekend, I was like, oh my god, I'm going to kick off beat that coincidence next. And if you go, oh Clint, I can do better than that. Then you call and try and trump my coincidence with yours.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Now we normally have Dan here who gets angriest the most about this, so do you think you're in safe hands with me? I'm glad he's not here. Okay, all right, he I'm gonna be good then. We're about to do Beat That Coincidence and he does get quite rocked up. The bias be very high for Dan to be impressed. Yeah he's got a very specific idea of what a coincidence is but coincidences can be small and lame. They can be. This one I
Starting point is 00:46:40 thought initially wasn't good enough and then when I found there was a second layer I was like what other chances? A lot of times people got similar birthdays or exact same birthdays as their new partner and their kids and everything whatever. Oh god it's a birthday one. No it's not it's not there's this very different space I think that we haven't played in before. I was watching The Mask randomly because my son wanted to put a movie on another weekend was I I saw it on neon I think and it popped up as a new thing but it's not new Yeah, so my son was like let's watch the mask the bad guy in the mask his name is Peter Green this guy I want all my money is and I want all right now
Starting point is 00:47:18 Okay from the real Dorian Remember he plays Dorian the bad guy and he wears the mask at the end I think so I saw her a long time ago. Okay, so it's not Jim Carrey wearing it. This guy Romeo Yes, this whole place is gonna blow in a couple of minutes It's quite scary. Yeah, Peter Green child. But anyway, that's another whole give me one other movie that he's in No, I can't exactly right and I said, I don't know what the hell he's done. I've never heard that name in my life.
Starting point is 00:47:47 So we watch The Mask, cool, happy days. Then kids are getting ready to go to bed and my wife goes, oh, do you want to watch something else? Sure. I can see where this is going. So she's like, oh, flicking through, flicking through, flicking through.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Oh, there's a Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston film called The Bounty Hunter. Yes, yes, I've heard of it. Okay. Guess who the bad guy who tries to kill Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler in a drive-by shooting? I'm guessing it's Peter Green. It's Peter Green? And I'm like, what are the chances this dude, who's only probably ever done two movies in his career,
Starting point is 00:48:20 we've just watched back to back, right? And I was like, yeah, that's okay. I know what I know you're thinking come on Clint it's not good enough. It isn't. I hadn't written it down at this point and then... Oh? My... son flags this. Gerard Butler's name in Bounty Hunter. Take a listen. Only you can be happy right now.
Starting point is 00:48:40 Okay Milo. Stay here. No don't you leave me here Milo. Get me out of here. Milo! His name's Milo. You know what Jim Carrey's dog's name is in the mask? It's Milo! So...
Starting point is 00:48:54 Megan doesn't impress. And right now, Megan's a PR package she opened this morning. Megan, can you tell us what's on your desk right now? It's a 1kg tin of Milo Oh my gosh The producers are going berserk in the bus It's soundproof so you can't hear them but they are celebrating UNBELIEVABLE
Starting point is 00:49:18 It's a safe space for you to pull up with your coincidence Oh my god Yeah poor Tom is text back saying bring Dan back. So, maybe it's a rule that we can't do the segment without the man. I don't want to scare people off because now I've set such a high watermark that you're going nothing will compete. I will take a second and third place coincidental story. Right, because my one I had was I heard a song on the radio and I'll go, oh I was singing
Starting point is 00:49:44 this song in the morning in the shower and mum mum goes oh there you go that's your coincidence So I think it's actually rivaling that No! I don't think it's that different if I've been Yeah And someone Tyler just takes it going I'm drinking Milo right now listening to your coincidence I really don't think that's it Okay we need to stop because no one will call
Starting point is 00:50:01 I went under the edge beat that coincidence Can you do it? We are talking about beat that coincidence. Can you do it? We are talking about Beat That Coincidence. It's going to be your easiest chance to beat the coincidence because Clint hit the shittest one I think we've ever done. Oh! Hannah texted in saying, Clint that coincidence is like me texting in saying
Starting point is 00:50:15 I'm listening to Clint Megan Dan and then I see a Clint Megan Dan billboard. Five out of ten. It's just like, yeah sure it's like, oh that's funny. It's like this, huh. Move on. Well let's see if Nikki can beat that coincidence. Hey Nikki. Hi, how are you guys?
Starting point is 00:50:31 Good Nikki, what's yours? What's your coincidental story that you think is better than a five? Okay, so when I was 12 days old, I was adopted out and when I was 18, I met my birth mother and we were talking about, you know, how I was growing up and when I was 18, I met my birth mother and we were talking about you know how I was growing up and we actually worked out that when I was eight years old she was actually the postie delivering letters in my street when I was living there.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Shut up! No, that's amazing. Did you ever see her? Like did you ever see the post lady? Well yeah, I mean you know you used to see your post there all the time and I always said hi, so yeah, that was so freaky. Your real mum was driving past your... Probably seeing you grow up and play in the front yard and even you, that was like her
Starting point is 00:51:16 biological daughter. Daily! Yeah. That's almost as good as my story. No, I think it's definitely... Wow! Most as good as my story. Oh my god. No, I think it's definitely, definitely, definitely. Wow. Okay, I-
Starting point is 00:51:27 And so, one more question, I think there was no like recognition. I've always wondered that if you don't see your child, like if I never got to see Daisy for another 10 years, would I recognise her? But, wow, that's wild. No, and cause it was a closed adoption, cause it was a very, you know, long time ago.
Starting point is 00:51:42 So there was no open adoption. Incredible. We're going to send you a double pass for a musty movie, Bring Her Back, which is probably quite fitting. Yeah, that makes sense. Out in cinemas tomorrow. OK, let's see if Bronwyn can beat that. Hey Bronwyn, what's your coincidence?
Starting point is 00:51:54 Hey. Hi. So I'm ageing myself a little, but in the 80s, my mum was a volunteer ambulance nurse and she went to an accident with an egg truck where a car crossed the road and hit the egg truck. Terrible story. And then years and years, and she won't remember it because we just got a rescue helicopter, so it's one of those family memories. And then fast forward Newtown 20 years later, my husband was like,
Starting point is 00:52:28 oh, you know, I was driving an egg truck. Shut up! I know, really. And you got hit by a car in the exact same accident that your mum was the ambulance driver of and went to the scene of your future husband. Waseo. Oh my god. That, that is nuts.
Starting point is 00:52:49 That one, that one. Yeah. Actually, both of those are so much better than yours. I've got a coincidental prize to give to that story. That is nuts. A Mother Earth Nutty Sensation prize pack. Go full flavour with Mother Earth Nutty Sensations. We'll send you every flavour there is.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Nice, thank you. You're welcome, Bromwell. Both of those stories are pretty close to as good as is. Aww thank you. You're welcome.

I got 8, not as many as last hour. He is very, very good at this game. It is, the more we play it, the easier I realise this game actually is. Oh yeah, it's gotta be your, it's just so niche, but slumdog millionaire moment. That is just the right letter, the right things.

So you were close with pencil. Your brain went to the right place, but the wrong thing. Such a... Yeah. So good. You passed on once.
Starting point is 00:55:00 I was thinking of the photo picture. Yeah, true, true. A show on Netflix could have been Prison Break, Peppa Pig, Peeky Blinders, things like that. You make it so easy when you recap the answers. Louise, I think you're amazing. You got six correct from ten possible questions.
Starting point is 00:55:18 You're making my boss nervous, I know that. In the background. Shut the hell up. How's that going? You did great, Louise. Another, shut the hell up, how's that going? You did great Louise, another chance to play coming up at 3pm this afternoon, $10,000. Her husband's 40th tomorrow, so unfortunately that's going to be a cheap one I think. Oh my gosh. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Hey we catch up on the call next, who and her husband put together a food bank for the community of Christchurch and it was robbed. It was indeed, who and her food bank, you might have seen this in the news. We put out the banking details yesterday to you guys to see if you wanted to raise some money. We're going to chat to you next. Yeah, get a bit of an update because I hear they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of strangers. You said on the show we spoke to Nicole, her and her husband, Corrin, run a food bank in Christchurch.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Yeah, the Hoon Hay Food Bank, it was robbed. I think on Sunday night, two people from what they saw broke in, stole all the really expensive items like meat and frozen products and they were absolutely, as you can imagine, gutted. Because if they wanted food, they could have come and gotten food, you know, it's stealing from the people that are most vulnerable. Yeah. Good morning, Nicole. Good morning Nicole. Good morning. Morning, you've got Corrin there too as well, don't you? Yes, good morning. Good morning Corrin.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Yeah, we spoke to you yesterday Nicole and you said that you were feeling really overwhelmed with the feedback and support that you felt from the community. How are you feeling today? And now it's what, 48 hours later after you did your call out and asked for help if it was there. Well, I don't even think you really did ask for help. I think you just said what had happened to you. Where are you at now, the Hoon Hay Food Bank?
Starting point is 00:56:55 What's it looking like? Yesterday was an absolutely massive day. Like, everybody turned out in full force and really came behind us from 9 o'clock yesterday morning till 6 o'clock last night we had lines out of the door of people waiting to support us to help us and to make sure we stayed open. So many stories of people that went shopping and it didn't really matter where they shopped. Everywhere they went, the bosses were ready and waiting.
Starting point is 00:57:29 They were paying half the bill. They were giving them more for their money. They were selling it to them at wholesale prices. All of yesterday was just— Overwhelming. Amazing. Very overwhelming. I think the other thing that kind of makes me emotional hearing about that is that everybody
Starting point is 00:57:47 knows how hard it is for everyone out there. Food is not cheap to put your food on your own plate, so for people to go out and buy food for others when they're probably still struggling themselves is incredible. It is. And I don't even have any words like the generosity of some people you know and just all of these selfless people and you are so right it is hard to put it on your own table let alone somebody else's and all of everybody's hearts are so big that they just want to help. Is there like a
Starting point is 00:58:18 tangible way to kind of understand the outpour that you've experienced over the last day or two? What are sort of the numbers that you would normally get in terms of donations like a week versus what you guys have experienced in the last couple of days or even as a percentage I'm not sure you know how transparent you know you have to be with you know your donations and things but what's it actually been like? Okay so I'll just give you like a few examples. This is only a few of hundreds. In 12 hours, we woke up to $12,000 in our bank account. The Wigrim New World, part of their family, family can maintain that it's just ended.
Starting point is 00:58:59 They have an $8,000 store credit sitting there for us. Holy moly. Meat company, Fonterra sending a truck in, the CEO of Foodstuff South Island was the first person on the phone yesterday morning. How can we help? Fiona Archer was at our door, organizing a deal with Everyday Meats. There is just so many to mention, just our local community that turned up, whether it was just to give us a hug, to tell us that they were thinking of us like but the response is
Starting point is 00:59:29 just being something we have never ever ever seen. So how many people on a weekly basis are you normally able to help versus how many you'll be able to help now? So generally we take bookings of between a hundred and a hundred and seventy people depending on our food supply that week Yeah, and we're ramping up to almost double our numbers next week. That's so good And obviously you never wanted that you don't want this to happen You never would have wanted to have gone through the emotional turmoil that you went through with the the thieves but how incredible to have some sort of silver lining
Starting point is 01:00:06 and to have this love shown for when you're in a dark spot. Absolutely, it just shows how amazing New Zealand really is. It's not just our local community. We're getting phone calls from the North Island, from Australia, don't you see this? I'm thinking of you and how can I help? And the other great thing as well is it's not even just the donations, it's also the publicity for your charity because I'm sure there's people in your area that don't even know what you do
Starting point is 01:00:32 that really could and now will benefit from the incredible work that you and Corrin do. And we also just want to put you in the spotlight as well and just thank you for the work that you guys are doing because we all have busy lives and I'm sure yours are busier the most With what you guys have decided to do. So thanks guys. Thanks And just one thing I just want to say I'm too booking for a food parcel It is super easy So if you are listening and you are in need of a food parcel All you need to do is send us a text
Starting point is 01:00:59 With your full name and how many people are in your household and we will book you in How do we get that number if somebody needs that that number is there a website that I can send them to? I can do a bounce back. I will give it to you right now. Yeah food. Oh yeah we've got it. Yeah food.

Starting point is 01:01:43 We did put out that number yesterday after Donate. We know you listening gave a lot of money to that. Yeah. So thank you. Clint, Megan's and Stinky Boo. Do you want to know how to appear more attractive on a first date according to science? Sure. Oh, but you're married.
Starting point is 01:01:58 I, yeah, well, I don't know. What do you want me to say? I can't say no. That shoot's done the whole thing. Well, for just an e-bier, I thought he's single. He could wait in. Desperately plays. Right, sorry. Cheers. Oh, Webb Gilbert. Oh, Webb Gilbert. We no that should have done the whole thing. For Justin Neepier I thought he's single he could wade in. Desperately please. Cheers. Oh and Webb Gilbella.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Oh and Webb Gilbella we've got two singles on the table. How does Webb Gilbella get more attractive? I know. Oh sorry and you Neebs. And Neepier as well sorry. Yep cheers thanks. Okay if you want to be perceived as more attractive then do something on a first date that pumps the adrenaline,
Starting point is 01:02:25 like riding a rollercoaster or skydiving. But why? It's called misattribution of arousal theory. My god, right, so what does that mean? It implies that physical excitement, through adrenaline and doing something a bit crazy, gets confused in the moment with romantic attraction. Gets confused, it's almost, it is like tricking them. So yeah, and so they tested this theory on like a wobbly bridge and they found a bunch of people
Starting point is 01:02:52 and then they put other people on the other side of the wobbly bridge and if you're on the bridge and you felt like your life was slightly in danger, they found, I didn't see how they did today, but they found those people more attractive. That's just stupid. A wobbly bridge. Must have been high up. Must have been a very wobbly bridge. You're telling me that the best thing to go on a date is to find some wobbly bridge
Starting point is 01:03:15 somewhere. Take them for a hike. Don't do that. Don't take girls on a hike somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I was just Googling there. I had the perfect wobbly bridge sorted. Wobbly bridge and she's like, hey, can we go home now? You're like, no, no, we've got to find this bridge.
Starting point is 01:03:26 We mix our feelings of anxiety and adrenaline with romantic arousal and attraction. So maybe if you're thinking of a first date spot, you've got to start looking there. Come to think of it, when I saw this I was like, oh my god, I took my wife bungee jumping. Oh that's what you did too. On our first date. Your whole family turned up didn't they? If physical safety and well-being were in quotes on the line your chances increase. Oh again not great advice for a man to... Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I just tried to call your wife she's blocked us. Just to check if that was something that could have worked. I'm gonna try one more time. Let's listen to the radio. Oh my kids are on her phone and they're like oh no I'm in the try one more time. She's listening to the radio. All my kids are on her phone and they're like, oh no, I'm in the middle of a game. Declan call, they do it all the time. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Uh, lads and ladies, please don't make your first date feel scared. Experiencing a shared thrill can Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. Experiencing a shared thrill can lead to a sense of closeness and connection that might not be achieved through more traditional dates. Also memory enhancement, if it's like, oh my god that was so scary, it builds like a core memory of that date.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Right, so you could do it like a scary movie maybe? Yeah, I guess so. My wife actually didn't love, I wouldn't suggest, well, bungee jumping. My mum and dad were very excited to watch me, so they decided to come and then my nana and papa were down from up north, so they were staying the weekend. So then my mum and my dad, my nana and my papa showed up to my first date. Oh, your wife's calling back, should I call her back? Let's say she enjoyed this first date with the whole family and her weight written on her hand. There was a lot of anxiety from me, maybe. Hello.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Hi Jamie, it's good to meet you. Hi, I don't know if you listen to the radio but we're just talking about apparently the best way to be attractive on a first date is to scare, to have adrenaline or something. You had that with Clint. Do you think you found him more attractive because you went bungee jumping? Um, well I really found him quite attractive before we went bungee jumping, so we didn't really need a lot of help in that department.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Oh, okay. Although, Jay, you weren't stoked on the fact that, and I hadn't thought this through, when you go bungee jumping, they have to weigh you so they stand you on the scales and then they write your weight on your hand in red vivid. You weren't pumped about that were you? No I didn't know what 64 was on my hand but no that's what it was. And I was like that's how much you weigh babe. So if you wonder how much your first date weighs whilst also getting hurt a bit. That's a weird thing. Um, okay. Kidding, I'm kidding.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Did you find your wife more attractive because it works both ways? Yes, I actually, well, I mean, maybe that's a me thing, but I found because she was- Willing to do it. Willing to do something that was out of her comfort zone and be a bit adventurous, I found that quite attractive. Mm, mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Mm. And I was quite aroused just in general being around her. Okay, Jamie, so nice to chat to you this morning. What a pleasure, Kai. Hmm. And I was quite aroused just in general being around her. Okay, Jamie, so nice to chat to you this morning. Always a pleasure, Kai. Okay. Okay, I'd love to know if you're like, oh my God, my partner did this to me on our first date. And did it work?
Starting point is 01:06:36 Was your first date like a skydiver, a bungee jumper, a wobbly bridge, or a theme park where you're on roller coasters? And then did you go now that was it we got one day and that was done or are you now happily ever after married yeah is there something in this an adrenaline rush on the first date according to science supposedly if you want to seem more attractive on a first date according to science you are better to do something that pumps the
Starting point is 01:07:00 adrenaline because we can confuse physical excitement with romantic attraction and arousal. Right, right. I don't know if I believe in this science experiment especially since they did it on a wobbly bridge which all just feels a bit bizarre. Yeah and they found that the more anxiety these people had on a wobbly bridge the more that they gravitated towards the people that they were having that shit experience with and the more attractive they found them. I would say do something safe. I would say do something safe and kind of mediocre. Wife and I went bungee jumping.
Starting point is 01:07:32 We're married now with two kids. That's true. So that worked out. Okay. I watched The Hobbit. And now I'm married with two children, so. Are there scary parts in The Hobbit? Yes, but we did it to the dinner scene, which is not scary. I think it was more the rolls and the cheese that turned me on.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Different strokes for different folks really. Different strokes? Yeah. Interesting. Okay a few texts here. I took my now wife canyoning out in Pihau abseiling down waterfalls and stuff. Wow. My now wife I guess that's a success to me. I guess what it does is if it just shows if you're the same sort of like person who likes the same sort of things Also, maybe yeah Sam sees agree with Clint or the science This one here. We went to Spookers. She was pretty pissed off that I took off into the maze without it. Yeah
Starting point is 01:08:16 I don't know what she's up to now. I went to Spookers. I wet my pants as well. So again, not very Sexy you produce an EPS you're still single, what was the last date you took a girl you were seeing? I took someone to Coldplay and I got ghosted. So probably not enough adrenaline with Chris Martin and the crew. Right. I'm using more hardcore. Yeah, well you're not right up front. Nah, nah, I was actually sitting right next to you guys, so cheers.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Oh, the cheap free seats? Yeah, the cheap free seats up the front? Nah, nah, I was actually sitting right next to you guys, so cheers. Oh, the cheap free seats? Yeah, the cheap free seats, yeah. Was she there? She was there, right beside me. I can't remember. Maybe she ditched you because you, I felt like you were hanging out with me most of the time. I thought you were just with us.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Yeah, well that could have done it too. Yeah. MSU has took me pig hunting and fishing. So, baby. Yeah, I think this is more just like, you figure out what you like. Crystal said at 15 and 16, my boyfriend and I went to Rainbow's Inn
Starting point is 01:09:14 for our first date. Oh. He asked me to be his boyfriend on the log flume. We're now 33 and 32, we're being married for eight years and three children later. It's a great story. Something in it. Oh, there great story. Something in it.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Oh, there's Emma. There's Emma. So pig hunting and fishing did it for you, my darling. Had you ever been pig hunting before? No, not at that time. That was like 10 years ago now. So it was a long time ago. Well, I guess there's a lot of adrenaline if you're, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:41 running around in the bush with weapons. Oh yeah, there's a lot of adrenaline running. Oh, no weapons, just a knife and dogs. But yeah, there's a lot of adrenaline running. No weapons, just a knife and dogs. You can't be a... I mean, if you were a pig, I'd imagine I would glass, the knife has the weapon. Okay.
Starting point is 01:09:54 I'm guessing you weren't a vegetarian at the time, Emma. No, not still not. No. Okay, thanks Emma. That's what I mean. That would be awful for me, but it would work for Emma. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think it's a universal thing, but I guess if you are single you're going on a first date.
Starting point is 01:10:12 See if there's anything you can do that's got a bit of adrenaline in it. Yeah, a little bit of a kick. Maybe they might confuse it for attraction. And then over time give you more time to, you know, show them your personality, British girl. I don't know, I just went a traditional route and just went straight for the arousal on the first date and married 50 years ago. What were they doing when you were in Labour? I'm giving birth again for my second time in a few weeks time basically and we love
Starting point is 01:10:38 hearing what went down. A lot of the time it seems to be the first Labours or the fifth where they're really relaxed. It's either the first time where they don't the first labors or the fifth, where they're really relaxed. Yeah. It's either the first time where they don't know what to do or the latest one. I actually just had a friend who works in hospitals message me saying that she was at a caesarian.
Starting point is 01:10:54 She was working at a caesarian and when the baby was being born, the partner was on his phone gambling and lost. Oh. So... Could have won though, maybe it was John. No, don't, Glen. Babies are expensive. And lost as the baby was being born.
Starting point is 01:11:15 One of the worst I've heard. We think we've probably got enough to put together a legitimate coffee table book that guys can buy. Because it is guys that are dropping the ball most of the time or like you Could give to an expectant dad for the first time being like all the things of what not to do and we're still adding To the book because there are still stories. Hi Mal Hello, it's always good when it starts with with my ex so go on Yeah
Starting point is 01:11:43 Yeah 17 years ago. I had my baby and she was five weeks early but I called him up and I was like, hey look, I'm on my way to the hospital and he decided to go and have a session at home before he came to the hospital which was about humping out his drive away and he just got there on time and when he got there he passed out so yeah. So big help for you eh? Huge help. Oh yeah. I couldn't even hold my hand. I can see why he's an ex at that point. Who does that? Is he still a good dad though? Like you guys aren't together but he's still super present in your kids life?
Starting point is 01:12:21 Err no. Oh god, what a waste of space. Well I'm glad you're out of there Mal, if I can say that at least. So don't go and blaze within... Again, don't gamble when they're giving birth and don't go and Yeah, doesn't probably need a recap does it?
Starting point is 01:12:40 Nahuaia, morning! Oh wait, where are you? There you are. Hi Nahuaia. How are you? Hey we're good, okay. Oh wait, where are you? There you are. Hi Nahua. How are you? Hey, we're good. Okay, you were in labor and what were they doing? So I was just at home and my mom had come around to support. Like it was my first child, I now have three. And the contractions were getting like really tough.
Starting point is 01:12:59 So my mom suggested having a bath. So my husband drew me a bath and then I hopped on it. And then about maybe 10 minutes later, he was sitting, cause we had quite a tiny bathroom and the toilet is right next to the bathroom. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He decided that he was busting to take a poo. Do it outside, do it in a bucket.
Starting point is 01:13:22 Yeah. Shut, he didn't, he didn't! No, he didn't! You were in the bath, there'd been like, intense contractions. I never let him live it down. And you shouldn't! Oh, that definitely needs to make the book, because I reckon the visuals on there to be crack up. I can't even fathom!
Starting point is 01:13:36 It's something I can feel my husband, like, it's something he would like be like, well, I don't know what to do, we've only got one bathroom. Go outside! Yeah, my mum was like, oh tell him to go Oh, cause I yelled out, I was like, mum he's taking his hair Tell him to go to one of his mates friends that went down the road Go to somebody, go to BP He would have done that thing where as soon as you go you flush, you know?
Starting point is 01:13:57 No, Jameson, that's true He was sitting on there for a while playing on his phone Oh my god Oh my god Oh Oh my god! Oh that's cracker. Okay, we've got to go to a song. We'll take more of your calls because there are people that are desperate to share their story. And out there, generally their man.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Yeah, I really want to talk to Jane next. I've got a question for her. Okay, you were in Labour while they were doing what? I was in Labour while they were what? When it's a partner or a mother-in-law who dropped the ball? We just want the story where you go, this is outrageous. I shouldn't be dealing with this while I'm going through labor. It seems to be mostly partners, ex-partners and actually mother-in-law's, which shocks
Starting point is 01:14:35 me. Some naughty mother-in-law's out there. Let's go to Jane. Jane, tell us your story. This was your first birth? Yeah, it was my first birth, so about 18 years ago. And I was just in early labour, sitting on a Swiss ball in the lounge, it was about, probably around midnight. And my husband was watching a movie, just passing the time and contractions were getting harder. And obviously
Starting point is 01:15:02 there was a little bit of groaning and grunting coming from me and he turned around and goes shhh I can't hear my movie and proceeded to turn it up. I Jane I can't I can't is this an ex or are you still with this man? No we are happily married with three children now. Devil's Advocate, was it before you could pause movies? 18 years ago? No. Was the movie, a movie that was never going to be played ever again and you'd never seen it and you'd been waiting for years for it to come out? I'd love to tell you it was. I can't even remember what it was.
Starting point is 01:15:41 It was probably something he had seen a few times. It's probably not a time to play devil's advocate. I should just be full team Jane on this. Yeah, and Jane, did he, was he better in the other two? You said you've had two more kids. Was he better with the others? Oh, he was much better. Okay, that's why the marriage is still.
Starting point is 01:15:56 And that's why we need the book. In fact, producer Carl is actually putting together illustrations for this book. If you want to check out sort of the vibe of it, go to Edge Breakfast on Instagram, we'll get something up on the story. Yeah, I'll put up an image. I'm thinking of calling it Labour Losers. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:16:12 As a coffee table book. Labour Losers. Yeah, I actually just liked the title of what were they doing when you were in Labour. I was in Labour while they were done on Doc. Oh yeah, okay cool. We'll put a screen cap on Instagram. Ian, I saw this one from a text saying,
Starting point is 01:16:25 my mother-in-law while I was pushing. So by the way, we're heavily into giving birth now. While I was pushing, my mother-in-law answered a phone call from someone from TradeMe. I just like, you just just screened the call. There is nothing that you're selling or buying from TradeMe that is as important
Starting point is 01:16:43 as when your daughter-in-law is pushing. Oh my god. Wild. That is so crazy. Like other people just eating noodles in front of their partner hadn't eaten in 25 hours. Other people were at the pub while they were going through an emergency c-section. Yeah I was a neighbour when my husband and his nanna were huffing the gas. and his nana were huffing the gas. How is that real? I caught my husband asking where he was and he said I'm in the McDonald's drive-thru
Starting point is 01:17:10 but it's really busy. Well when you're in the drive-thru and there's someone behind you, you can't go forward, you can't reverse out, you're buggered then. So he just made a wrong call and then was like, damn it. Oh man. I hope he showed up with at least like a hunger buster
Starting point is 01:17:26 or something for her. Oh yeah, you'd be even more pissed if he showed up because, oh, I didn't think you'd be hungry. I'd be livid. Holy shit, you made it the whole way through. If you want more, find them on Instagram at Edge Breakfast. See you tomorrow. And then if that's not enough,
