This is a podcast from Rover. If you've ever sent a risky text and then thrown your phone across the room, you'll fit right in here. This is the Clint Megendan Podcast. Good morning everyone. Invercargill, Queenstown, Gizzy, Dunedin, Hamilton. I've told you for the hundredth time, stop scratching it and take your antibiotics. It's Clint Magandad. Kia ora, good morning.

It's one to six on your Tuesday. Welcome. Good to see you. Morning. Joining us nice and early. Yeah. If you haven't been following along, we've started a band, haven't we, guys?

Just to see if three friends that have got no musical experience can start a band from scratch. Yeah. Now Meg, I want to ask you a question. You've just carded all your drums in today. Yeah.

In the back of your car it took you, you said 40 minutes to load them in last night. Well yeah, to unclip them all, pack them down, in between having a toddler

making dinner in the rain, yeah. You wanted to do the drums. Yes, it is my fault. Are you regretting it? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I wonder. I didn't think about like, so I'm not regretting doing the instrument itself. I'm feeling really enjoyable, although very frustrated, but enjoyable frustration, if that makes sense, which I think everyone feels.

That's what I'm feeling. I suck at it. I've never enjoyed being so shit at something. Yes, exactly the same. And I laugh a lot at myself, but I did not think I would have to undo and redo drum kits to get them in and out. I need to practice at home, but we need to have them in here. Yeah, that's why Clint and I, not think I would have to undo and redo drum kits to get them in and out. I need to practice at home, but we need to have them in here.

Yeah, that's why Clint and I, I think, were like, are you going to do drums? Yeah, go, go, go. I wanted to do them, but you do them. I just saw my kids just smashing them throughout the day, every day, and I was like, there's no way. I'm not putting up a fight to take drums. Yeah, my daughter has had a little go on them,

but even now, she's like, enough. Enough. A three-year-old's had enough drums. She, my daughter has had a little go on them, but even now she's like, enough. Three-year-olds had enough of drums. She's like, enough. And I think the way I play it's like any kid's had a go on it, to be honest. Yeah, because I'd be really disappointed, Meg, if you actually did give up on the drums and went for like a bass, because it was more convenient, because I really

from what I've heard, I'm actually quite impressed with how far you've come. Oh, thank you. As I've told you guys before and it seems like a really weird silly dream but I've dreamed about this the fact that my mum knew about it

for many many years to be that like epic drum girl do you know what I tried yesterday I really wanted to impress you Clint I know we're going to

get out of this break but I tried learning smells like teen spirit to surprise you guys how arrogant am I to think to think that in an album... Yeah, just learn Dave Grohl's amazing drum beat. One of the best drummers in the world.

That's what this whole band is, just realising how hard it actually is to be a musician. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. It's Billy Ray Cyrus, Old Town Road. That song dropped today, 29th of April, back in 2019. So six years old today. Man, it doesn't seem that long ago.

Six years goes fast, doesn't it? Yeah, I reckon. We're just seeing if we can pull up a live performance of Billy Ray Cyrus doing that because I know it has only been six years, but his live ability has sort of diminished or changed. Yeah, he was a big supporter of Donald Trump through his campaign, Billy Ray. And I think Donald Trump commissioned him

to perform at his ball, Trump's ball. That's right. I think during the inauguration. And something went wrong with the noise, like the sound was wrong, but he didn't know how to pad. Sorry, the sound was off. Yeah, the noise.

Oh, take my horse,. Yeah, the noise. I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road. I'm gonna... I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road. I'm gonna... He's missing words. That sounds like they got a dude up off the... Like, from the audience and brought him up on stage. Clint, I'll stop you there,

because I think the technical term was there was an issue with the noise. And, yeah, you've got to cut him some slack. We moved on. He's like, guys, could you sort out my noise, please? My noise is playing up. The best saying is one that you might have missed if you missed the show yesterday

that's now started to catch on here at The Edge. If it's broke, don't fix it. Is that what it was? If it's broken. If it's fixed, don't broke it. That's it. I don't know. If it was fixed, don't broke it.

I can't do it again. If it's fixed, don't broke it. If it's fixed, don't broke it. That's one that is now even being used by the boss here at The Edge. Which they said, there is a meaning in there somewhere. That's a bit backwards, but there is, I guess, something. There's a meaning in there somewhere. So there you go.

There you go. That's on that. Can you believe I'm the drummer of the band? I must say, Meg, I must say, I'm very, very proud of you for doing it. Because I've seen a lot of footage of Meg performing her drums. I haven't seen her performance today, so I'm going to reserve my judgment. 8am, we've given you absolute peak of, like, top of the show.

Am I 8? Oh my God, I missed that. Yeah, she's peak time. Oh, I am. If you haven't been following along, we've started a band, haven't we? But just sort of as a social experiment, and we can be your canary down the mine, if you've ever thought maybe you could just be in a band with no experience, just start from scratch with a group of mates, we're going to canary down the mine. If you've ever thought maybe you could just be in a band with no experience, just start from scratch with a group of mates,

we're going to see if it's possible. I personally have been practicing quite a bit, loving every second of it. I've never been so shit at, like, and enjoyed it so much. I came on Hubbub's Five this morning into Studio Meg, and Dan had his amp cranked like full noise. Oh, epic. Really?

Yeah, because I didn't have much time to practice last night so I just wanted to get some final little bit of practice in today before the thing and I'm still shocked. How do you sound Clint? I think it was pretty good.

He said that after this whole band thing once I guess whatever once we lose our momentum or we reach the finish line whatever that ends up being Dan's going to keep going. He's going to get lessons and keep going.

So I thought that was cool. Learning a skill. That sounds like people on Dancing with the Stars that said they're going to keep up the dancing. Yeah, Manu Vajivai said he was going to keep dancing. Let's see, Dan. He kept doing something. Yeah, so we'll see how it goes.

I think I was having a little issue with my noise, though, so I need to sort that out. Clint, Megadam. Let's go. Okay, hey, some of the things we don't share on the air we share on our OnlyFans podcast.

So sorry to come back from us on crack up laughing. Yeah, just download the OnlyFans pod. Normally stuff we're talking about we're like, that's pretty crook, we can't talk about that on the air.

We just write it down and we'll put it on our OnlyFans podcast. I tell you what, actually yesterday's OnlyFans was one of the crookest we've done. Was it?

Yeah. Oh, oh, and today I'm going to finally I know I've been teasing it since before the holiday break. Oh, yes, you did. Something that producer Carla spent a lot of money and many, many hours creating and helping me bring to the show that Meg is going to love and

Dan is probably going to very much dislike. But anyway, it's going to be a thing that only lives on the OnlyFans podcast because it's too crook for On Air. Crook? Yeah. I can't wait. But I don't want to do anything crook.

Well, you will. Text podcast to 3343 if you want the link and you don't already subscribe to the OnlyFans podcast. It sits alongside our show recap. And yeah, later on today at about 10.30, 11, you can find out what that is. Clint, Meg and Dan, Scandal. La Quinta Parnell, a brand new hotel

in the heart of Auckland City where comfort and adventure collide. Book your stay at laquintaparnell.co.nz Chapel Rhone has new management. I don't know what that means but it doesn't feel good. I just feel like when somebody changing managers in the middle of what she's got... Dan, please.

What? The big sigh. Do you know what I think's happened? What is it? I think her management, her old management, have told her what we want people to tell us. Just go, hey, maybe just chill. You always just seem to be angry at something or someone.

And then she's gone, no, I'm not going to be silenced. Fine, I'll get new management. And I reckon if anything, Meg, she's probably going to be more vocal with this new management because they'll be going, yeah, babe, do whatever you want. I wouldn't mind putting money on. That's what's happened, Clint. And the thing is, I'm all about like be outspoken and speak your mind.

I get that. And it's good. But when you're doing it constantly and you're just constantly whinging about the amazing life you have, I don't have any time for that. I'm sick of her, to be honest. The Call Her Daddy podcast definitely was a huge fail on RPR. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Absolutely. The stuff that came out of that, which was about her saying all the mums that she knows are dead in the eyes and hate their life. And then also saying, why would you turn to me about politics? But she is known for talking about politics. It was all bad. She's turned in. Do you think, Meg, if you do, like, a podcast like that

and you're a name like Chapel Rowan, you would get final sign-off on the cut of what actually goes to where? I would love to know because Alex, who does Call Her Daddy, would actually have a lot of say because in the end, it's good for Chapel to be on her podcast because she gets millions and millions of downloads.

Obviously, they need each other to be successful in the way that... So maybe they sign something where then she turns around and goes, anything that's said on my podcast, I can use. So if you don't want it to be used, don't say it. I mean, that would be smart. That'd be the way to get the gold. Otherwise, you're just getting chopped, chopped, chopped every time. Yeah, imagine them going back and forward and back and forward.

By the time you finally release a podcast, you'd be like, they've butchered it. I've never seen as well like a movement switch from someone being so popular in the zeitgeist and kind of being amazing to then she's spoken so many times in a negative manner and it's sort of flipped. Obviously, she's still got fans out there that love the outspokenness, but I think a large majority of people have turned. And then maybe if you pick one or two things that you're really passionate about,

and then maybe six months from now you pick a third and a fourth thing, but if you're always just being super passionate about really, like sort of, I guess, socially negative perceived things, then your voice gets quieter because we're like, oh, she's complaining about something. And now we don't even hear what she's complaining about. It might be justified in what she's going on about this time. So true.

So her management is a guy who also manages Noah Khan and Rebecca Black. So this is the new manager? The new manager. Drew Simons is his name. He was on Billboard's Managers to Watch in 2023. I think what they agree on is, remember what she was talking about in her speech saying how they need to,

managers in the industry need to supply better, like, health insurance and stuff. I think he actually backs that. So they kind of align in that way. And as you said, Clint, that's actually a kind of good thing that she's backing somebody that she put her money where her mouth is.

But it's all lost between me just being like, oh, she's probably just lost management. I hope she's got her dental plan and stuff in place with him. Must be all nice for her then if that's happening. I just found that very tone deaf. But hey, she's allowed to complain with whatever she wants. Oh, Dan's had his Ritalin this morning. You can tell.

Yeah. Maybe a Valium and a little Razepam as well. I'll chuck that in there. No, we're off. Yeah. Maybe she's spent more time, less time complaining and more time putting together some better bangers. Yeah, there he is.

No, he's back. That's a slow release Ritalin now. Yeah, there we go. Yeah. Clint, Meg and Dan. Spinky Bo. All right, time to get to know you a little better. Get, get, get to know me, know me.

You better, better, baby. I want to get to know you. Getting to know Stacey this morning, boys. She's originally from South Africa. Oh, God. Works as a solutions manager for a bank, so she's smart. She's got a Land Cruiser. She's an Aries.

She's got a husband with two kids, a cat called Chili, and she once fell over in Queen Street in front of a crowd of people. Good morning, Stacey. Morning, guys. Morning, Stacey. You're a solutions manager at a bank. What's the solution for me to have more than, like, $3 in my bank account? Yeah, what's that?

What could it be? Oh, not that kind of, oh, you know. What is the solution? Don't buy those coffees. Don't buy the coffees. Yes, that's that? What could it be? Oh, not that kind of, oh, you know. We need a solution. Go buy those coffees. Go buy the coffees. Yes, that's what, yeah. That's what they say when you're trying to get a home loan, eh? Stop buying the coffees and the,

get rid of the afterpay account and all that stuff. We've got to have fun shit. Oh, it's so hard because I can't ask, like, two personal questions in this segment, but you would expect that if somebody works at a bank that they're good with money, right? Like, savings and stuff. You'd have to be.

We make the worst account of it. Really? See, that's what, it's like when people are, like hairdressers, they don't get their hair done very often because they're doing everyone else's.

Like, I want, is it the same with people that work at banks that you actually kind of, shit, get your own money? Yeah, pretty much. Wow.

Okay. Well, they won't come to you then. Yeah. It's like getting like a personal trainer that's in worse shape. Wow. Well, it won't come to you then. Yeah. No, no. It's like getting a personal trainer that's in worse shape than you. No, I'm good. Maybe you're just good at telling people, you know. Yeah, better at delegating.

Okay, okay. What was Stacey's question this morning? Okay, maybe did Stacey, we just had the big holiday, did Stacey take, well, that's a used to know question, the three days off. That one worked out. This is my favourite segment. We had big brainstorms live on here. You watched my brain work.

Okay. Righty-ho. All right. Well, Stacey fell over on Queen Street in front of a crowd of people. What did she do next? She cry, laugh it off. Okay.

Did somebody help her up? When she fell over and face-planted in front of the crowd of people. I think Stacey would have laughed it off. Okay. Somebody help her up. When she fell over and face-planted in front of the crowd of people. I think Stacey would have laughed it off. I think Stacey is a person that would go, she wouldn't, she sort of got up and tried to make nothing of it. Oh, so that's two different things. You can't have both. She laughed.

No, okay, well, that's laughing. Laughing, you're admitting that it happened. She laughed. I think turning it into a bit of a role and jumping up, pretending that nothing happened, it's very different. Very different. You kind of pretend, but she kind of just got up and left. No, you can't have both.

Do you want laughing? She laughed, cried. No, she laughed. I'm just going to say she laughed. Okay, she laughed it off. She laughed it off. Clint, would you like to go next? Yeah, I'm not sure what that will leave you,

but I think if it were me, I would try and make it look like it was a deliberate stunt like, stuntman role. I don't know, just testing out my little role, roley police, and then back up. And I wouldn't look around to see who saw. I would look straight ahead because I think seeing people laugh would make me feel awful. I've seen Clint fall over once before

and he definitely didn't do that. It was through that Meg and he fell over in front of everybody. What? We filmed it. He was running around. We were doing some filming. Oh, yeah.

And he fully went ass over tit. Okay, well, okay. If you did what Clint did, Stacey, you lay on the ground for a few seconds trying to figure out if you'd broken your back or not. Yeah, I just need to do a full assessment of what hurts and what doesn't. And then once he realised he didn't, he acknowledged that, and this is what I think you would have done, he acknowledged that he hurt himself,

but he was just really tough about it, like, oh, nothing. That's fine. Once I'd drawn enough attention from everybody to stop laughing and be concerned for my wellbeing. You either laughed it off completely or you turned it into a stunt role. Jesus.

Or you assessed your situation to make sure that you hadn't broken anything, then got up and acknowledged, yep, I just face planted. Who was closest? It was Clint, actually. What are you doing? Commando role? You tried to stunt role?

You just tried to shake it off like, that did not just happen, you guys did not witness me absolutely stacking it. Well, okay, so basically it was wet and I was running. So the slide was actually pretty spectacular. I grazed my knees. But I did jump up and then I ducked straight into Max. Yeah, I just, that was, I meant to do that.

And sweet as, you didn't see anything here. I'm to do that, and sweet as you didn't see anything here. I'm actually practising my stunts. You didn't see anything. As you were. Thank you, Stace. I'll take that. I was due a point. Geez, I haven't had one in a while.

Well, Clint, I did not think you were going to get it in that one. I think the main thing when Clint fell over was everybody just checked his face and his teeth, because without that, he's nothing, you know? He's very worried about that. If you're craving both a cheeseburger and a pie, easy as, thanks to Zed's new cheeseburger pie, you can get amongst that, he's nothing, you know? He's very worried about that. If you're craving both a cheeseburger and a pie, easy as thanks to Zed's new cheeseburger pie, you can get amongst that stage.

Thanks for playing. Appreciate it. Clint, Meg and Dan. The Subway game is back. Subway. Eat. Hey. Sounds like it's sold to Subway.

It definitely isn't. This is just because I saw a woman order what I think is a, like, I guess not cursed, but I never thought anybody would order these three things together. Now, your beef is not with the lack of ingredients. It's the combination, isn't it? Both. No, it is both. It is the lack and the combination.

You're paying for a six-inch sub, and you don't get discounted for the lack of ingredients. Well, Hannah's text through is saying that she feels attacked by this game because she has two pieces of cheese on white bread on her six inch with a piece of ham. No, she doesn't. She does. She does not.

Salt and pepper. She has no salt and pepper, no sauces, and she feels attacked. Then you're just wasting your money, though. What do you mean? But then she likes it. But you paid it for the same as what you did. Yeah, I'm the type of person that will, if I don't even feel like a large, like at Starbucks, I'll always get the large.

Do you know it's only 50 cents more? It's like the smalls, okay, it isn't exactly these figures if Starbucks is a thing, but it'd be like eight bucks for a small, 8.50 for a medium and nine bucks for a large. I'm getting the large every day, even if I don't need it. Yeah, Hannah's there,

the one that only has basically two ingredients. Hannah, Hannah. Well, yeah, so only has basically two ingredients. Hannah. Hannah. Well, yeah, so just white bread and one slice of ham. And two slices of cheese, and that's it. But do you feel like you're getting ripped off? Because I feel like even when I don't even like all the vegetables, I'll get them because they're free. And I'm like, well, I'm getting them all.

I think they feel sorry for me because they only charge me $4 for something they call a Jaffel. So that's me sold every time. Is that just a nickname for you and you don't realise? No, it's on the menu, mate. Oh, a Jaffel. Are you not a vegetable person, Hannah? Like you don't like greens? I am, but I'm just so picky.

And every time I go to Subway or like fast food, the lettuce is more white than it is green so I just prefer not to. Okay, and that's why the segment isn't sponsored by Subway. Yeah, exactly. You can tell. Alright, Hannah, do you want to do a guess of what the three ingredients were in this woman's sandwich?

Oh, yes, please. Go ahead. Okay. Alright, um... Oh, where, please. Go ahead. All right. Where'd you go? Sorry. Red. Go again. Go again from the top, Hannah.

Okay. Ham, red onion, and gherkins. Over to you, Meg. She close. It's incorrect. Sorry, Hannah. Over to you, Meg. Is she close? It's incorrect. Sorry, Hannah. That was not the order. Hold that one because you could be the closest.

We don't find out who the closest is until the end of the segment. Yesterday, the closest was, do you remember the three ingredients? Yeah, I've got it up. It was... But we don't know why it's close. We just know this was the closest guess yesterday. I'll get that up. We'll go to Alex next. Alex?

Oregano, cheeky lettuce cheese and carrot. Oh, not lettuce cheese and carrot. So no proteins apart from a bit of cheese. Yeah. Okay, Meg. Is Alex correct there? That is

incorrect, Alex. No. So yesterday's closest guess was capsicums, olives and mozzarella. Right. Caitlin, what's your guess? Well, I'm going to go with cheese, jalapenos and onions. Okay. Now we need a specific cheese as well, don't we, Meg? Thank you.

Smoked, Swiss. Oh, we didn't ask Alex either as well, don't we, Meg? Thank you, yeah. Smoked, Swiss? Oh, we didn't ask Alex either. I'm going to go cheddar. Cheddar, okay. It's incorrect though, Caitlin. Oh, God. Quickly back to Alex. Alex, what was the cheese you're guessing?

Just so I know. Smoked, yes, Meg. Smoked cheese, lettuce and carrot. Imagine. Actually, I can see why that would keep you up at night, Meg, because I would still be like, what the hell? Did they say it wrong and then they were too shy to correct it? I don't know.

Is that all our guesses for this morning, to have to choose out of that bunch? I think you do, yeah. It's slim pickings. So Caitlin, ham, cheese, onion. I want to guess a different guess every day. Oh, you two want to as well? Yeah.

I'm going to go, I think mozzarella cheese is the one that was correct from the three yesterday. Okay. So I'm going to go, I think mozzarella cheese is the one that was correct from the three yesterday. Okay. So I'm going to go mozzarella cheese, gherkins, and salami. Incorrect. I'm going to go smoked cheese,

gherkin, and pickle. No, gherkin's the same thing as pickle. You idiot. Gherkin. No, it's not Danny. Okay. The person that was closest this morning

with their guess of what this woman ordered in Subway was Alex. Alex is the closest? Lettuce, cheese and carrot. Wait, so mozzarella?

Smoke cheese. Okay, so you went smoke cheese with carrot and lettuce and he's the closest. Is he closer than yesterday's? I'm not saying anything more. Okay, Alex, I'm going to sue you.

I'll double pass to the movies anyway, bro. So at least you won something, but you haven't won the grand prize just yet. But it's going to be, our must-see movie is out in cinemas on Thursday, Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts. The prize, Clint, don't say the grand prize, because A, there's no grand prize.

We've got nothing. And B, it's never going to be won. Well, no, we're collating a list. A list of the best guesses, and then we'll work out what they have in common, and eventually we'll crack it. It took me about seven minutes to find yesterday's. Okay.

I'm just collating. Make sure you've got a spreadsheet. I've got it now. Okay, good. So the two best guesses over the last two days. Mozzarella, capsicum and olives, and lettuce, smoked cheese and carrots. Okay, two separate guesses and somewhere we're getting close. What is life?

Oh, my God. We've been letting you guess, but we'll only tell you if you're correct if you can get all three. It is upsetting some people, especially those, Meg, who are worried that they will never find the answer like Sam. Hey, Sam, why do you need to know now? Sam, you there? Sam?

Oh, he's about to never find out. Hello! Oh, Sam, you there? Oh, Sam you're there we got a text from you saying I need to know because if I don't find out soon I'll never know why what's happening

I'm moving overseas next Tuesday where are you going I need to know where are you going it's killing me it's keeping me up at night I'm moving to Australia

well I mean you can you can yeah you can still listen on Rover you can get You can get Rover over there. You can, yeah, you can still listen on Rover. You can get the podcast. What she's saying, we're dead to her

when she goes over there. Yeah, like life, I imagine, especially for the first few weeks, life is busy. You're not only moving house, you're in a different country. You're trying to sort out jobs

and stuff. And yeah, this might fly under the radar. The problem is, can we trust, if you say, for instance, Meg told Sam. Yeah, can we trust her if you say, for instance, Meg told Sam, can we trust her that she's going to keep this very secret

three ingredients? I swear on my life. Oh, okay. Please give me peace. How do we know you value your life? I'll tell Sam, but Sam, you have to keep it a secret, but then you can give feedback. Not any clues, but you can give feedback on the sub. Okay. I'm going to run around. Oh, but then you can give feedback. Not any clues, but you can give feedback on the sub.

Okay. I'm going to run around. Oh, absolutely. Okay, so Sam, for you to find out what it is, without any of us hearing Meg's now having to go into the producer booth, I'm going to have to put you on hold. Oh, amazing. So she's going to talk to you privately off here.

Okay. I'm going to chuck you on hold now, okay? Okay. Okay. Now she's the envy of thousands. Thousands of people. You're being generous, I think. Clint, Clint, I'm definitely trying to big this up more than it is.

Okay, so producers have their fingers in their ears, and I can see them through the producer glass window going, la, la, la, la, la, la, while she's talking to Sam and giving her the three ingredients. I'm sure the producers are allowed to hear. Because that's what I said. I was like, well, why don't you just get Carl to tell her? And she goes, no, because then la, la, la, while she's talking to Sam and giving her the three ingredients. I'm sure the producers are allowed to hear. Because that's what I said. I was like, well, why don't you just get Carl to tell her? And she goes, no, because then I'd have to tell Carl.

Oh, my goodness. Okay, she's coming back in. So now Sam, think of this. No! She's privy to the three ingredients. We'll bring her back. Only Meg and now Sam know. Sam, will we be as shocked as Meg thinks we will be

when we find out eventually what the three ingredients are? It's definitely a weird one. I had an idea in my head that I wanted to guess and I wouldn't have got it either. That is good, good clue. Would you say, in your opinion, it would be a tasty trio of ingredients? I just want a yes or no answer. No more than that.

No. But there want a yes or no answer. No more than that. No? Oh, but there was a question mark. She thought about it. She thought about it. I love how much, like, thought that Sam's actually given to it as well.

And Sam, now at least you can move house with one less stress. Yeah. Thank you so much. You're welcome, Sam. You're welcome. She's easily pleased, aren't you?

Thank you, guys. You're welcome, Sam. You're welcome. Oh, she's easily pleased, aren't you? Thank you, guys. You're going to love Aussie. Clint, Meg and Dan. Role model. Selling When the Wine Runs Out. One of the big songs in the world right now. And it's got a great... Bridge?

Bridge. It's a bridge near the end of the song. Oh, no. Kids and I absolutely like cranking this to the top of our lungs whenever this part comes on. Such a good song. And I tell you what, follow Role Model on Instagram. He's funny. Oh, really? He's like such a funny guy on Instagram as well.

Yeah, yeah, he's worth a follow. Okay. Well, we want to give that bridge a go and see if we can hit the spot as a team. This is normally Dan's thing. So we are nervous about letting him down. No, you won't let me down. You'll just disappoint me, and there's a difference. But I genuinely think we can do this.

As a group, we're all very in tune. We love the song. So there's no reason why. By in tune, do you mean hitting notes? No, in tune together. I mean, you know, like... In sync. In sync, yes.

And we're starting a band. If anything, Meg, you're the drummer. Timing is your thing. That's true, Glenn. So if anything, this is good practice if nothing else for musical timing

because that's part of being a good band. So let's leave the beat to Meg. We'll follow your kind of beat. Okay. So we've got a few lines each and then we're going to come together

in the second round. Okay. Okay. It goes through the same sort of stanza twice. Here we go. Come on, guys. Just don't get too excited of stands I think I'm going to stand. Twice. Here we go. Come on, guys.

Just don't get too excited with the hype of what we're doing here. He's sitting here. I don't want to sit in here. Okay, now I understand. And the problem is it's quite long so we don't have a chance

to do it again if we stuff it up. Yeah. Good luck, everybody. Here we go. Then disappear in the wild Oh shit, here we go again I'm falling head first Ankles hit the two steps

Sally makes my head hurt Her through the grapevine She can be a diva Cold like Minnesota Hotter than a fever Oh shit, here we go again the grapevine, she can be a diva. Cold like Minnesota, hotter than a fever. Oh shit, here we go again, I'm falling head first. Ankles hit the

two-step, Sally makes my head hurt. Her through the grapevine, she can be a diva. Cold like Minnesota, hotter than a fever. Sally, Sally, Sally, Sally, Oh, God. Oh, my neck.

I knew we were fast from like the second line. Oh, that was horrible. Oh, we've never been more out of time. And that is why I usually just do it by myself. Do you know what I was going to do? I was going to deliberately slow my second line right down because I felt it was fast. And then I thought, I'll get blamed. Hey Meg, it's Clint's fault.

He started and he started us too fast. No. No, do you know what we... Do we need to get... Is it me? Do we need to get our tape and the actual song and lay them over the top of each other and find out who stuffed it?

Yep. That sounds like something our band would do. We always need to know who the weakest link is. Producer Neves, our audio producer, is already on it. He's going to lay our vocal and the original and find out who sped us up. Was it me, Meg, or you? I don't really think we need to. Oh, we do.

We need to know whose fault it is. Why is he getting it all wrong? Why don't you want to know whose fault it was? Well, because I was following Meg's beat. So I think if anyone, it's Meg. Well, they would normally be excited. We're going to have to do it next while we get our producer Neeps to go into the

lab and start layering the tracks on top of each other. So you've got a separate lab for this. And he needs to find a swipe card as well because he doesn't go into the lab often. So find the special card. If you were listening, who do you think was to blame? Me.

It's only going to be good news for two of the three of us. We play a game called Hit the Spot where we will sing along to a song, get rid of the song and then bring it

right back at the chorus to find out if we're still in perfect time with the song and with us starting a band, timing's actually really important to our success and we were singing

this part of Sally When the Wine Runs Out there. We had individual lines and then we had to come together at the end and we were miles out of time. It's one of the longest hit the spots we've done. And when it's a longer bit, it's obviously more room for error. It is definitely longer than we normally have with Dan.

We don't normally give him two bridges. Yes, it's repeating the verse twice, which is a long time. Now, Dan was saying this is why he normally does the scam, hit the spot by himself, because he was blaming either Meg or I. Or you were blaming Meg. Well, I felt it earlier. As soon as I

finished my line, it was either Meg or you. Yeah. The amount of shade coming through from people texting thank you Right, it looks like it's going to be me Have we got the audio? Yeah, so what producer Nipia has done he's got our acapella audio

correct me if I'm wrong Nips but our acapella audio and you have layered it underneath the actual song so we can start hearing who got us out of time first You are dead right You'll hear the start of the song and then Clint and Meg singing. Over top of that, you should be able to get a good sense of the time. In your opinion, is it Claire who goes out of time?

Absolutely. And would you have guessed it? After weeks of band practice, no. Oh, it's me. Because I think he thinks I'm okay. Meg's the drummer, so she is in charge of time when it comes to our band.

So let's have a listen. Oh, shit. Here we go again. I'm falling head first. Ankles hit the two steps. Sally makes my head hurt. Absolutely gone. Hit through the grapevine.

She can be a diva. Oh, we're out. We're out. I still think, can we play it one more time? Did Clint speed up on the second line? I think he did too, Meg. I think he's throwing you off. I think he has too. I was half a second

out which Meg could have corrected and she doubled down. I doubled down. Here we go again I'm falling here. He's out already. He's out. He's sealed the deal. That random sucks at something. We found it.

We found the thing he's bad at. Yes. He didn't suck as much as Meg sucked. I was following your lead. The one thing we found out is I hadn't even sung yet, so I was doomed to fail. If anything, though, Meg, Dan should have overcorrected us by knowing we were so out of time.

He should have slowed his line right down. You can almost hear him. He goes, and good. Like on his part, he does slow it down. I remember him. Why is someone just text through saying Dan's the type of guy that will stub his toe and cry? What's that got to do with this?

I don't know. People just text random stuff all the time about you. You shouldn't read the text machine. No, I shouldn't actually. I shouldn't really people just text random stuff all the time you shouldn't read the text machine no I shouldn't actually I shouldn't really alright well we'll chalk that one up

as a fail we'll find out how good Meg's timing really is when she's on her instrument of choice at 8am this morning why don't we find out

how good your timing is on your instrument shocking 8am Meg's gonna do her drum solo after 10 days. Wait, it's probably about two weeks of practice.

Actually, it's 7.30pm. Dan and I will be playing guitar as well before then. We were given some homework over the holiday break before the long weekends by Mitch James. And we'll get a gauge as to how far we've got to go as a band and individually as musicians. A long way, man. We've got a've got to go as a band and individually as musicians. A long way, man. We've got a long way to go.

Impulse shoppers, do you have the app Shopback? I mean, I guess they've got an app, but it's also like an online platform that offers to pay back a percentage of your online purchases. So it's got 300 brands listed on Shopback, right? And I imagine as it gets bigger,

more and more brands will advertise on it. So let's say you want to buy some from Chemist Warehouse. You go on Shopback, and Chemist Warehouse maybe is one of the brands there that you can purchase from. Then you go and buy the thing on the Shopback platform, and then you'll receive a payout, not in credit, in actual cash that you can use or withdraw, anything from 1% to 100% of your purchase price.

So you buy something for $80, that might give you anywhere from $0.80 to the $80 back after you've bought it. So rather than a discount, it's almost like, oh, how much money am I going to get back after I buy this? So it's gamifying shopping. Effectively, yes. A little bit like gambling.

And so the money, because you go, well, hold on, let's say I get $20 back. Who's paid for that? Well, it's kind of like, say, Shopback is giving brands, like, say, Chemist Warehouse, the chance to advertise on their platform. And that money is paid for by the advertiser. Shopback makes a little bit of commission,

and then the rest of the money is given back to the consumer. But... I don't know about... So, nothing's really on sale. It's all full price, but you might get a certain amount of money back. Yeah, and you're getting cash back. They say members could get $1,000 a year back

if they're booking travel, because obviously it's a lot more expensive, so your chance of getting a decent amount back is higher. Or you get $20 or $30 back if you're doing some online shopping. Now, a marketing expert at Massey University said these are the type of people

that should not download the app because, like you've kind of already worked out, ShopBack essentially gamifies shopping. So it encourages consumers

to potentially spend more money than they otherwise would. Me too, because they might get more back. Yeah, maybe I didn't get something on that purchase

but I'll purchase two more things and hopefully that'll work. So if you are someone who's prone to overspending or gambling or impulse buying, then this is probably not a great platform for you. And if you're someone that does a lot of girl math, where you're like, oh, yeah,

but then maybe ShopBack isn't for you. But if you're someone that normally pays full price for things, you're like, yeah, why not just get a random amount back? When do you find out how much you get back, Clint? I'm unsure. I haven't used it because I'm wondering if it's straight after

you've bought it, an hour after you've bought it. Well, the thing is, I'd love to know more if you're someone that uses ShopBack religiously and you're like, oh my God, it's the best

or I shouldn't have ever downloaded it. I'm looking at it now and it's interesting because a lot of the shops and the companies that do advertise on it are stating their cashback.

So if I go into, like, you can get up to 100% with Chemist Warehouse, cotton on, 5.5% cash back, 25% at Domino's, New World 1% cash back. Up to 100 is still a mystery amount, right? Yes. Because if they give you 30, that's still up to 100. But then some others say don't say up to. They just say 4% cash back, booking.com.

Yeah, but like your possibility, I mean, but I think it's like, it's a possibility of only getting 5% back with like Domino's. If it's 5% back then, isn't it just like discounting your services

on your website? Saying, you know, today only, get 10% off. Yeah. That's effectively what it is. It's no different really. Except that instead of getting a discount, you're getting the money back

to then go and spend again, I guess. Yeah, so there... Is that the girl math, Meg? Would you rather, if you bought something for $100, would you rather pay $90 or would you rather pay $100 and someone give you $10 cash?

Yeah, it's funny, eh? It's like when you get free shipping. Even though it's only $6, if it's full shipping, I'd be like, oh, I'm not going to buy it. It's like those little math things. I think I'd like $10 back. Chris uses it in total three to four times a week.

So maybe, Chris, you can answer more of the questions we've got. How often are you getting a cashback, Chris? So pretty much what happens, so we do a lot. Our main place that we use is Chemist Warehouse. Right. And Chemist Warehouse, they usually do like 1% to 5% cashback. But every now and then they do like 20% or 25%. And then what happens is after you've placed your order,

about an hour later you get a notification to say that this is how much cashback you get. Then it gets what they call tracked. And the tracking is that once your order has been delivered within, I think it's 21 working days, that cashback is back into your account. Oh, because then otherwise you could just go return the product, get your money back, plus you've had the cash back.

So then make sure you've gone outside of that return policy duration. Yeah, some people were texting in now saying it's pretty good, but you do have to wait after I sneeze. Meg's allergic to good deals. You have to wait a few months to get the money back. See, that would get me out. I'm like, I don't want to wait a few months to get the money back. See, that would get me out. I'm like, I don't want to wait a few months to get money back.

That's me. I want instant cash back. Otherwise, I'm not interested. Okay, well, Sarah says, I thought it was a scam. I've got 90 bucks now. DoorDash gave me $10 back a couple of times.

So good. Yeah. Well, there you go. I mean, yeah, I think for people with ADHD like me, this is risky. Yeah. Because I just get transfixed

on getting money back. I think the trick is,, this is risky. Yeah. Because I just get transfixed on getting money back. I think the trick is, and this is what Sarah does, is I only buy things when I was normally going to buy it anyway. It's not like I go shopping for things. It's like, I have to buy this anyway. Let's just do it this way. It's a bonus if I get some money back. You know who needs it?

Cal from the Edge Night Show. Oh, God, yeah. Do they do Lego? He's constantly buying Lego. Oh, and he has got like a blow-up sauna that he was keeping in the lounge because he had nowhere for it. They do Lego. 1's constantly buying Lego. Oh, and he's got like a blow-up sauna that he was keeping in the lounge because he had nowhere for it. They do Lego, 1.5% cash back.

Oh, there you go. The amount of money he spends on it, that's like $1,500. Yeah, it could be. Clint, Meg and Dan. We should start a band. Clint, Meg and Dan are on a mission to see if they can start a band with zero prior music experience. The problem is, Dan, just one teeny tiny little issue.

None of us play instruments. The instruments were decided. Meg on the drums, Clint on the lead guitar, and Dan playing rhythm. Oh, my God, it's clearly me on drums. Hold on, wait, wait, wait. What's easier? Rhythm guitar's easier. Oh, I'll take rhythm.

Clint's going to do that funny face with his face. I'm more than happy. Rhythm doesn't get to do solos, though. Then we caught up with Mitch James, and he may have let this slip. I haven't booked an opener. Just saying. That's exciting. If we really want to make me look good, I'm pretty down.

You know what I mean? So the challenge was set. We headed away on holiday to practice on the axe and the skins all holiday long. And that brings us to today, our official audition for Mitch James. Wish us luck. So Mitch is going to be joining us after eight.

Meg is going to kick off things with a drum solo. But we thought to not punish you with three performances all at once at eight, one of us would go now. So we'll have to probably record this one and then play it to Mitch when he's in at eight o'clock. And Dan has decided to step up first. Yeah, I thought I'd be the first cab off the rank. Genuinely, I so want us to be good guys.

Like, I can't stress enough how seriously I'm taking this. Oh, my God, the amount of times he played the... Over and over. Over the last half an hour. enough how seriously I'm taking this. Oh! Yes, I got up at 3.30 and drove in. And I've been here for like an hour and a half before you guys got here practicing. And I still don't think I've nailed it. Is that true? It's only like eight seconds. I was here before Nipia.

Is that true? He was here and ripping into it. The amp was cranked at like four o'clock this morning. Just doing those same chords. And so this is going to make it even sadder if I stuff this up. You're not going to. Because I will.

I think I'm going to. Dan's like, I can't do it. I can't do it. I was like, bro, you just nailed that. And he goes, yeah, but when people listen, I don't. So what do you want us to do? Do you want us to turn around?

Do you want us to watch? Do you want us to face the wall? I'm not going to be watching. I'm going to be watching the frets. So don't worry. All right. Okay, now, for anyone who doesn't know, this is the song that Dan is going to be playing.

Does sound better with the drums. It does. If only I had Meg to be tapping away behind. Could you do the I could try and do that but I also don't want to put him out. Let me do this first

and then I'll see if I can Okay, let's do On Your Own and then we'll see if we can get a little Okay, I just need to I just need to sort of just practice my strings. So if I go... Why can't I hear myself?

It's coming through the amp. There he goes. Oh, there we go. Gotcha. Okay. Five, six, seven, eight. No, you missed a bit. Oh, bugger.

A little faster. One more time. Okay, hold on. One more time. It was a little fast. No, no, hold on. Okay. Yes!

There you go. Again. Yeah. You know what's going to happen? When we G him up, anyone cheers, he gets too excited. Tell Dan his fingering's sounding great, thanks, Hayden. I'm going to keep going. Dan has never been told his fingering was great.

Ever. Ever. That's me flanging. Come on, guys. Five, six, seven, eight. What was that? Come on. Come on! Do you know any more of the song?

No! Come on! Who's with me? Meg, I think. Ta-da, Dad! Let's go! Okay, that's probably enough. I think we're giving parents PTSD.

So that's all I've got. All these children are learning instruments. But you know what? I'm genuinely pleased with my progress. I'm loving this. And if anybody is actually thinking at home of learning guitar, like, I've got ADHD and I struggle keeping a tension span or anything like that.

I've absolutely loved every second of learning it. Even though I suck still, there's something about it that just makes me want to keep going. So I really think, guys, we can do this. I really do.

Okay, that's a really nice start, Dan. Okay, so the... I'm definitely not the strongest, Link. Yeah, well, you don't want to be the weakest and that's what we'll find out at eight o'clock

after Meg and I do our performances. I'm really looking forward to hearing you guys. Okay. Because you're definitely going to be better than me Meg and I do our performances. I'm really looking forward to hearing you guys. Okay. Because you're definitely going to be better than me. And I was pretty good.

We have a special guest who's going to be joining us in the studio in just a second. What's that, Gracie? Oh, it's Spark. Yeah. Sorry.

Well, you alright, Dan? You alright, Dan? Dan's very flustered. Dan, you're being very strange right now. I'm not flustered. I'm not, Dan? Oh, Dan. Dan's very flustered. Dan, you're being very strange right now. I'm not flustered, I'm not. You're being very odd. I'm not flustered.

Look, I'm nervous about the guy that's coming in because I'm a big fan of his. And he's been doing a lot of voiceover for us over the last few months, hasn't he? Yeah, and Dan was saying, unfortunately, we might have to drop a segment called How You Like Them Apples, where we review apples once a week

to try and find New Zealand's greatest, non-floweriest apple of all time. And Dan was saying that, unfortunately, the guy who voices it is moving countries with no recording studio available to him, and so he might have to kill the bit. Well, I think he's just going to be too busy. His name's Andy Anderson.

He's moving to America. Andy Anderson, like the girl from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. That's her name in that movie. Being that coincidence. That is a coincidence. Yeah, so he's moving over to do voiceovers

for movie trailers and unfortunately he's got no more time to do our shitty and them apples stuff. But he said he'd come in one last time just to kind of wrap up

the top five and put a bow on the bit. So please welcome to the studio the one and only Andy Anderson. Hello everybody. How are you all?

Right. So my first question, Andy, is have you ever had people talk to you about the fact that you've got Kate Hudson's most famous role in How to Live with a Tick Guy in 10 Days, same name. If I'm honest with you, Meg, this is the first I've heard of it. The first I've heard of this amazing name that is mine, Andy Anderson. Okay.

Are you here to wrap up the top five apples? Can we do that? Because we're already almost two minutes into the chat and you're late for the interview. I'm a professional on radio and you should have done this in 30 seconds and got to me. I will say that I've got a top five of the best apples available in New Zealand. Coming in at number five, as voted by you guys,

is the Cosmic Crisp. That's incredible, Andy. Coming in at number four with a grand total of 19 points. Tell us now, Andy. It's the sweet tango. Coming in at number three, if you're wanting to buy a non-flowery apple, the pick-me-kid-size pick-me-apple.

Coming in at number three At number two The best apple in New Zealand As voted by Sorry, Dan's got his hand up He's got a question I just think you're amazing, Andy I think you've got some fantastic stuff going on

Not really a question You've kind of interrupted his flow It was halfway through a sentence Come on, Dan Well, I just wanted to ask you, Andy Have you tasted any of these apples? I've tried all of them It was halfway through a sentence. Come on, Dan. Well, I just wanted to ask you, Andy, have you tasted any of these apples? I've tried all of them, and I agree with the votes.

That's brilliant. Number two. The most prolific, tastiest, crunchiest apple. In New Zealand, the second best is the Pacific... Oh, whoa, did you want a drumroll? Yeah. Well, the number one, he hasn't done that yet. Why are you answering for Andy? Clint asked Andy in a question. Stop interrupting me, guys. Okay, well, we'll

leave it over to you, Andy, to bring in the number one. With 23 points and the best Apple in New Zealand. If you're going out to buy apples today, it's the crunchiest, the least flowery, and the tastiest as voted by Clint, Meg and Dan. The Simply Red Apple.

That's all I have. Andy, I must say, you are just such a brilliant voiceover artist and I, it's unbelievable how good you are. Are you sure, Andy, you can't stay and we can keep how you like Dem Apples going for another week? I'd rather not, Clint. It's got quite complicated here.

There's a lot of interruptions. Dan's quite stressed and I think Meg's just looking at me like she's got the hots for me. I find it creepy. I'm out. I'm just, you know what? Sometimes as a show, Clint, we sit back when we know

that our co-hosts really have a lot of questions. And I just felt like Dan and Andy were really vibing then. So I just wanted them to have the stage, the floor. Yeah, Andy, I really do appreciate you coming in. I'm a massive fan of yours and all the best with your endeavors over in America doing voiceover. Thank you. I'm actually, my first

job is doing The Avengers, the next movie. They've hired me and that's why I'm going over. Oh, right. Yeah, because how you like them apples doesn't pay very well, does it? My name is Andy Anderson and you'll see me in lights. Thanks, Andy. Appreciate all your time over the years. See you guys see me in lights. Thanks, Andy. Appreciate all your time over the years.

See you, guys. Clint, Meg and Dan. It's time to put a few stories on your radar for the 29th of April. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's. All right, I'm going to let you know why having a girl best friend is actually super good for your health. It's crazy the things that they study, right? Yeah.

How many years can a supportive girlfriend add to your life? Like girlmate? Well, yeah, supportive girlfriend, so I guess it could be like a life partner or just like a girlmate. I interpret it as a girlmate, but maybe you can have a super supportive girlfriend. It's one of the longest-running studies from Harvard and found that people with a close loving relationship

especially those with supportive girlfriends have less mental decline and report less physical pain and live longer. Supposedly it lowers your stress, you get better mental health and you get a better chance of reaching old age and they've been how the hell they've done the maths on this. It can add up to 10 years to your life.

Really? I don't know. Thanks, guys. You're welcome. I mean, look, I just don't know how, I agree with you, I don't know how they've come to that conclusion

unless they've followed a number of people that have passed away and then gone, well, they had an extra 10 years on the end of their life. You know? Yeah, like how do they know?

It's a long-standing survey. How do they know, like if we didn't work with Meg, when we would have died? Yes. Because you only have one reality. You can't live both and then work it out. Yeah, I think it varies on a day-to-day basis.

Sometimes I think she's taken years off. I want to talk about if your power bill is average or not. We've talked about this just behind the scenes as us three as friends, so I thought maybe it'd be interesting for you to find out what the average is in New Zealand. This has just come out. If you are in central Auckland, apparently the April cost on average was $2.50.

It feels low to me in my life. And somewhere like Taupo, $263 a month. If you're a little bit higher, if you're in Taihepe $296 a month but I'm guessing it's much cooler there much colder Wellington $225 a month for your average power bill

Queenstown $275 it's all looking in the $200s oh no I was about to say mine was $300 but I also pay for my internet in the same bill so that would be why

so I'm probably about average $300 including internet yes wow what's yours Clint? Clint's is through the roof. He's got a pool. And he's charging his Tesla.

My last Powerball was $702. My God! For the month. That's triple mine! That's more than triple. I think mine's under $200. But my kid just got a fish tank. You've got to leave that on like all day

so the bubbles aerate and don't kill the fish. So Clint's bringing up the averages there. It's not your fish tank, I can tell you that. It doesn't help. And I'm going to bring a video that's going viral on the internet at the moment and it's a guy in India by the name of Karanthi Kumar who

has set a brand new world record Clint and this is a record that I think that you could attempt. It's a very niche one. He has stopped a record amount of fans with his tongue. So, you know, like air fans that you use to create a breeze in your room if it's hot.

He's lined up like 50 of them, and he's stopped everyone with his tongue by putting his tongue into the fan and stopping them. 57 is the world record. Why didn't he do 58? Has he got a time? That was a time. So he's done it,

I think it's within 60 seconds. So he's been able to just go along, stop, stop, stop with his tongue. But surely the rules, like it has to be a certain type of fan. Like I imagine like a cheap Kmart fan doesn't go as fast as those industrial gym fans. Yeah, I think they're just your classic plastic fans.

You know, you would buy from Kmart, because I think if you do, the metal ones chop your tongue off. So, yeah, he's doing it, and he's putting it against the blade and stopping them. So I reckon that's something that Clint needs to try next week, if we can get a hold of... Even if we can get a hold of five fans... I've got eight fans.

...and get those laps of them. Oh, I've already done a tongue-based record before, and it was really painful. Oh, the one with the matches on your tongue? Yeah, to try and put out the most matches on my tongue in 60 seconds. And honestly,

they burned all my taste buds. My tongue was like black in the middle. It was awful. Clint never tasted again. Yeah. But I think you could do it. It's worth a try.

It'd be funny at least. You imagine us trying to get a budget for 50 fans in here? Yeah, but I know that's why we'd have to bring in my old fan. Carl will have a fan.

I've got a couple of fans at home. A couple of fans. I've got heaps of fans. Not ones that'll work for this type of record. Not ones you can start with your tongue. Yeah, yeah. He won't do that again.

Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, so there's something we can do next week. Okay, drag it in the sheet. You never know. Killing breaks, man. All right, after eight, speaking of, Meg's going to do a drum solo. A very short drum solo. Since it's Clint, never thought he was saying it. off, Meg's going to do a drum solo. A very short drum solo. Since Clint never

thought he was safe. The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast. Megas are about to perform a drum solo. If you're wondering why, here is how we got here. We should start a band. Clint, Meg and Dan are on a mission to see if they can start a band with zero

prior music experience. The problem is, Dan, just one teeny tiny little issue. None of us play instruments. The instruments were decided. Meg on the drums, Clint on the lead guitar, and Dan playing rhythm. Oh, my God, it's clearly me on drums. Hold on, wait, wait, wait. What's easier?

Rhythm guitar's easier. Oh, I'll take rhythm. Nicola's going to do that funny face with the space. I'm more than happy if Dan takes the easier option. Rhythm doesn't going to do that funny face with the space. I'm more than happy. Get a stand, mate. Rhythm doesn't get to do solos, though. Then we caught up with Mitch James, and he may have let this slip. I haven't booked an opener.

Just saying. That's exciting. If we really want to make me look good, I'm pretty down. You know what I mean? So the challenge was set. We headed away on holiday to practice on the axe and the skins all holiday long. And that brings us to today, our official audition for Mitch James. Wish us luck.

Yeah, Mitch is in studio. He's got a gig May 24th, and this is his final hurrah. What are we calling it, Mitch? I think it's called the final goodbye. Okay, final goodbye. Just change the word hurrah. Just goodbye. 24th of May, Christchurch Town Hall.

And he didn't have an opening act when he found out we were putting a band together. We're about to find out if we are good enough. Sometimes I wish this was not radio and this was audio visual because if I could describe what I'm seeing with my eyes right now, I've got Dan Webby, cat backwards, full-blown rock star mode, guitar in hand. Yeah, that's just me though, Mitch. Clint's always just sexy

looking over there. And then Meg is on a full-blown drum kit. I am indeed. Can you hear me through my mic here? Yeah, we got you. So Meg's got one of those headsets as well, like she's on a plane,

like the captain. It's not very cool. It's like a hybrid between airplane captain and Britney Spears. Which is exactly the drum look I'm going for. So, Meg,

I've already done my audition and Meg's going now. So, I'm going to have to do mine again live. But, Meg, this is all about you. I'm really nervous. So, Mitch,

what you asked for me was you said just keep a drum beat and then I said I'm going to do more than that. I'm going to do a drum beat, a fill, and then go back to the beat. That is what I'm going to do more than that I'm going to do a drum beat a fill and then go back

to the beat that is what I'm attempting to do now I don't even know what that means but you go for your life okay alright

I'm nervous for you I'm very I'm proper sweaty I see what you feel like now Weeby yeah it's so strange and you're doing it in front of Mitch

this is your moment so you just take your time okay alright and not when you're playing I mean like and when you start moment, so you just take your time. Okay. All right. And not when you're playing. I mean, like, when you start playing, be in time, but take your time up until... Okay, here we go.

I'm just going to pretend I'm on stage somewhere. Okay, here we go. One, two, three, four. Hey! Come on now. Oh, not quite. Oh, shaky, shaky, shaky. Pretty good, though. Come on now Oh wait It's the machine It's the machine

The band drummer always blames the drum Here she goes I think some of them have turned off Oh yeah This sounded good I've heard worse I've heard worse There she goes. I think some of them have turned off. Yeah. That sounded good. I've heard worse. I've heard worse. And then I can do...

What else? I don't know if we can do that on stage. And then... I can also do... Imagine if you throw to her for a drum solo and she's like, Right, and I can actually do this. Here we go. No, we'll just stick to the main one.

Okay. Hey, do I punch? Woo! Okay. All right, that was a meaningful audition. I'm all right. Is she going to Hollywood? Well, do you want to give your sentiment now?

CBC, CBC. I'm proud of you, though, as a friend. I'm proud of you. That's actually... Thank you. I'm not joking when I say this. I'm proud of you that's actually thank you I'm not joking when I say this I genuinely couldn't do that

thank you so I'm proud of you as a friend TBC on the gig we'll see what the rest of the band are yeah cause I guess

you know unfortunately we can't replace one or two like you get all of us or none of us okay laying it down

I'm just a bit worried about the... I love the little beat in the background. I'm just a little bit worried about the... Oh, and I can do this too. Am I in? TBC. Oh, fuck.

Okay. We got two more auditions. I am impressed, though. Genuinely, Meg. Yeah, I am impressed though genuinely Meg that's yeah I'm impressed we're gonna hear Clint next and from what I've heard

of his practices Mitch and so by the way this music in the background that is not Dan Webby jamming on the guitar right now just to let people know Mitch James joining us

in the studio he's got his final gig May 24th Christchurch Town Hall if you want to be there we would like to be there as an opening act because the three of us

have decided to put together a band to see how far three friends with no musical experience can get if you're also someone Man that band name rolls off the tongue

yeah rolls off the tongue I think we need something slightly shorter yeah I mean we are going to try and lock in band name because we need that tomorrow I feel like

I am impressed by Meg oh impressed by Meg so far boys sorry I'm still over here by the drums. Yeah, so she did her drum rehearsal or I guess audition to you before, Mitch, and you were impressed.

Now it's Clint and my turn. We're both playing guitar. I've already actually done mine and you weren't here, so I'm just going to do it quickly again because Clint's the crescendo here. This is what Dan is trying to play. Play? That should be. here. This is what Dan is trying to play. Just carry it on. I haven't got headphones on so I can't hear what he's playing.

Excuses starting already. You've heard how the professionals do it. Here's how the amateurs do it. Are we ready? Three, two, one, go. Oh shit. Here we go. Three, two, one, go. Oh, shit. Here we go. Three, two, one. Come on. Meg on the drums.

This is chemistry here. This is chemistry. Oh, not really good. Yeah. Oh, not really good. Yeah! There he goes. So, you know, sometimes I'll do it perfectly and other times it's a bit of a struggle, like that time. OK, so Dan, if you could just unplug

and then I'm going to try to play this. OK. If you could help with the drums, mate. That was sick, though. That was sick. Okay, Clint's plugging in now. And honestly, from what we've heard this morning behind the scenes, Dan... Yeah, he's struggling to put it in, so he's just...

Not confident. Oh, no, got it. Okay. Former New Zealand Idol contestant. You've got to push it in, so he's just... Not confident. Oh, no, got it. OK. Former New Zealand Idol contestant. You've got to push it in harder than I thought. I wonder, I reckon, because we've heard him practising, you just said before, it hasn't been good. I reckon he's holding back.

I reckon he's holding back. I hope I'm holding back. OK. OK. All right. No pressure. OK. Only my entire show Last show

Career Depends on it Oh That was a genuine store too. Oh, yeah. Whoa. Kurt Cobain's turning in his grave right now. I don't think Meg's drumming helped.

Blame it on the drummer. My number one trick. I see you're learning from me. What's happening is my hands are getting slippery and then I can't hold the pick as well as I normally do. Maybe Wendell in this chat is insane. One more time. Okay.

Serious time. Okay. Okay. Wait. Okay, I think I've heard enough. Oh, God. Make it stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop.

Mitch? Is it your amp? Because I've got a different amp. Stop blaming it on other things. You can't play the guitar yet, okay? And I say yet because I do have faith that he will learn. Should we do the final decision? All together now.

All together now. All together now. Okay. A drum roll. The music. This is, it's like healing my ears. Can we still open on your final show, Midsch James, May 24th at Christchurch Town Hall? You know, the edge has been...

It's such a bad drum roll. It's the worst drum roll I've ever heard in my life. Oh, my God. So the edge has been so kind to me over the years, and I've been so grateful for the support. Yeah. But that was so shit. Yeah.

That was the worst. That was the worst auditions I've ever heard. I feel like Simon Cowell here. But I love you all individually as people, but as a group, as a radio trio, incredible. Amazing. One of the best in the world. I'm enjoying this compliment sandwich.

It's delicious. As a band, one of the worst. What you don't realise, Mitch, what you don't realise is that we are people that, above anything else, like to prove people wrong. And so this is going to fuel us to a point that you'll look back and be gutted. You missed this opportunity when you were gifted it first.

You keep telling yourself that. I've got final ratings, final ratings for work on. So I'm not just a wanker who says, you know, you're shit, blah, blah, blah. Well, you never said that. Meg. Yes. You were the shining light. Thank you.

Pregnant. Yes. And kept a beat. Thank you. Even almost had a fill in there. Almost had one. I'm going to give that a 6.5 out of 10. Well done.

Congratulations. Very good. Two weeks of playing. Dan Webby, there were moments in there where you played the right notes and I'm going to give that C's get degrees,

five. Okay, five. Five out of 10. I'm happy with that. I've only been learning for a week. Clint. Clint Randall, I'm so glad it's not your birthday today.

Happy birthday for yesterday. Pistol last. Happy birthday for yesterday. That was a two. You're another year older and you're a great man. Would you believe it if I said I've played that so much better alone I would not believe that in the slightest

the innuendo is still going in this chat slowly but I love you all individually I do not love you

as a band we'll prove you wrong Mitch we will prove you wrong you know what you guys should do you should busk outside the concert

and protest and boycott Mitch James. Just playing outside so that everyone's like, shit, we've got to get inside. Let's get it done. Mitch James, Christchurch Town Hall, final gig May 24th. Be there.

We won't be, but you should. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. Scandal with Meg. Scandal is thanks to La Quinta Parnell, a brand new hotel in the heart of Auckland City where comfort and adventure collide. Book your stay at laquintaparnell.co.nz.

I know it's 8.31, but I'm going to be clever with my words. You guys know I'm good at that. Oh, God, you're one of the cleverest people with words I've ever met. Very good at saying three words. Sometimes you come up with words I've never heard of. Yeah, your vocab is extensive, babe. The amount of times I have to Google what you've said

to work out the definition. Have you seen the swimming race? The swimmer's race. Swimmers. Which one? She is using her words, Cliff. There I am. I'm using my words. Only men could enter this race. It was a male swimmer's race. I know what you're talking about. It's this race. It was a male swimmer's race.

I know what you're talking about. It's gone viral. It has gone viral. Do you know what I'm talking about, Clint? So it's not potentially, you don't swim in the pool. It's your swimmers. Oh, yes. I've heard that one.

They've set it up like a UFC fight. Yes, correct. I was like, oh, my God, this sounds like something we would do on the show. Correct. yeah. In fact, I actually genuinely think Producer Carl at one point did try and make this happen, which was just, it got turned down very quickly. Sorry, Producer Carl,

because now you can see it's going viral. You're like, well, that was my idea. No, that's okay, yeah. It would have been great to do it and see who's got the strongest, but I've still got some training to do. I'm training every single day, but we will get there.

Well, yeah, yeah, completely viral. Eric Zoo in his swimmers racing start-up had a winner called Tristan, but they're redoing it. They want to do it again. And they want celebrities to enter. So at the moment, they're vying for celebrities. They're asking for them.

They want, like, rappers and, I guess, celebs. This is their next big thing, to try and do this and see if they're asking for them. They want like rappers and I guess celebs this is their next big thing to try and do this and see if they're swimmers of the fastest. Like I've had the snip to, if you've had a vasectomy then what happens there? You've got no swimmers I don't think. No swimmers, we still have swimmers but they're just never allowed out of the pool.

I don't think they're ever allowed out of the pool. I think they go into a different pool don't they and then you wee them out. I don't know. Maybe I've got that wrong. Those poor swimmers. I've got that. I think I've said that wrong. Right. But yeah, no,

they're calling for people like Nick Cannon who has, how many kids? Oh, yeah, 11. At least nine. Yeah, you'd back him. I'd love to hear his name, the Cannon Cannon.

Shaquille O'Neal, Kendrick and Drake. They've been asking for them to be involved in the next swimmers race that is going down to go viral. The thing that impressed me was the track they made, because it must be

microscopic, because they're obviously depositing the swimmers into a conduit of sorts, and then the swimmers race along two separate tracks that are magnified by a magnifying. Right, because I was going to say then, how do I know, Dan, if the one in front is my swimmer or your swimmer, but you're in different tracks but identical to one another?

The thing I also need to know, I don't know if anybody in the room would know this, what do they put at the end that attracts the swimmers? Because obviously the swimmers need to go to an egg. And, you know, I know that scientifically some eggs pull swimmers themselves in more than others because of what the egg wants. I think they're just scientifically trained to just swim.

They just go. They just go for gold. Yeah. Wow. Producer Carl's got a question. I've got an important question as well. It's like, when the start gun goes, what signifies the start of the race? Is it the swimmers going onto the track or the men starting there? Okay.

I think that the swimmers are already gathered at the start. Gathered and then they get dropped at the same time. Yeah, I'm actually intrigued. I mean, it might be one of those things you really want to watch the first time and then you definitely don't have any interest in watching ever again. Or maybe it'll be like a, I don't know, a thing that we'll come to love and watch and pay-per-view over the years. What's fascinating about the race is that you see one clearly in front

and then it just gets completely overtaken because it loses gas. It is really quite fascinating. So yeah, we could be having a celebrity swimmers race

in the future. I want to see some rappers do it. Yeah. Maybe some radio announcers, Clint. Yeah, well, I mean,

Bridgeska, I already see him writing things down, so good luck. I'd love to see him make a minuscule little racing track. He's like, I've made it. Where?

Where? I can't even see it. No, it's there in front of you. I can't see it, Carl. Clint, Meg and Dan. And we're about to talk technology stuff-ups. Oh, sorry, stitch-ups. But before, Dan, you get into it, this text.

I won't read who from, but they said, a fun trick that you can do is wait until your partner falls asleep, then go into the garage, turn on the car, and wait for their phone to peer to the Bluetooth system, and then go through all of their messages.

But why would you do that? Or, or, or ask your partner for an honest conversation about what's going on. Yeah. I think when you're starting to go through your partner's phone behind their back, that's when there's something up in your relationship, right? And the reason I think they mention that is obviously with, you know,

Bluetooth and your phone automatically connecting at times, we can get stitched up, and that's the story that Dan's going to bring to the show. Yeah. Now, this was told to me over while we were on holiday, and it was another friend of ours of mine that went on a holiday. They had the three days off between Easter and Anzac Day, and they went away with some friends.

Now, quite often when you go on a road trip with friends, you connect to their in particular, this girl. Oh, somebody's on music. Yeah, so she was on music, and she was sitting in the back seat. The couple she was going away with, she was going away to their holiday house. It's quite an honour to be on the music, so it's stressful. And then she'd connected to a thing,

which they have quite a fancy car that's got a thing called Apple CarPlay, and so it's where your phone completely pairs with the screen in the front, and it shows your texts, your phone book, your Spotify, your phone book, everything. It all pops up on the screen. So they were going along, and

she didn't want to go. She was like, wanted to stay at home and have a bit of a staycation, but she'd already planned this. And she was kind of like, she'd been texting her partner going like, I'm just sorry, I wish I was home with you. Yeah. Like all this stuff.

To be fair, can we say it's probably really normal. It's normal. You're away from your partner. You're just saying you miss them. Yeah. And it was nothing like sinister, I don't think. I haven't seen the messages themselves, but I'm privy to the message that her partner sent her back.

So they're driving along. She's got her Spotify playing. And then Apple CarPlay, what happens is if you get a text message, it pops up on the screen. Okay. Okay? And she was in the back. So the guy that was driving was like,

oh, Adam's messaged you. It's her husband, her partner. And he hit the thing. That's rude. You don't get to play out somebody else's text. I would give him a pass if just out of pure habit he saw a message pop up and he hit it thinking it was

for him. Well, I think Adam's his mate. Like, they're mates. Also, Adam could have been texting the driver, but in this scenario, obviously wasn't, but he might have just gone autopilot. Adam's message us. Possibly that is why. We're all friends together. But instead of it popping up on the screen,

instead of it doing something, it plays it out audibly because you're driving on the road, so it doesn't want you to take your eyes off the road. So he hits the message. She's been texting her partner about not wanting to be there, and this is what plays out through the car.

Text from Adam. Don't worry, babe. It'll be fun when you get there. Just try to enjoy yourself. So it's clear to the two people in the front that she's been going, I really don't want to go. I would instantly think of a lie

and just be like, oh, it's about this upcoming thing. I've got a work thing coming up that I don't want to go. It makes me anxiety. I'll be like car sickness. I've just been saying how sick I'm feeling. She felt sick. It'll be good when you get there.

That's good. She said she felt physically sick and she went completely quiet. They obviously knew that she'd been bitching about them, which she wasn't. It was all above board. But man, isn't that just the worst? You're in a car together. Maybe the play there is honesty and just being like,

hey guys, I'm being honest. Maybe you'd respect that more because otherwise what they think you might have been saying could actually have been worse than the reality, right? That's just... Yeah, yeah. Either double down with a better lie or you're going through. Yeah, I would double down with a better lie

because even if they kind of knew it was up, I think their imaginations go wild. It probably was worse than what it was. She could have been, you know, it was just a little bit of like back and forth missing your partner chat. Okay, have you got any technology stitch-ups? Stitch-up stories where you're like,

oh my God, technology did me so dirty one time. We've had an old producer who one time had her phone connected to the Bluetooth downstairs in the flat and then went upstairs for some time alone by herself. Do you remember that, Clint? Do you remember that story years ago? And she couldn't understand why

her phone wasn't playing the audio on the video she wanted to watch. Oh, it was. She kept tuning it up and trying to get it. We've had some texts come in which I'm not surprised about because, I mean, maybe you don't want to live through it twice. Yeah, and I think everybody's been stitched up one way or another by technology.

This one, I once accidentally sent an absolutely scathing email about a colleague to said colleague. It took me about five minutes to realise my mistake. That's Phil. Really? That's Phil. Oh, my God, Phil, good morning. Shut up, Phil, you didn't. Good morning, guys. No, Phil. Really? That's Phil. Oh my God, Phil, good morning. Shut up, Phil, you didn't.

Good morning, guys. No, Phil. Oh, no way. Okay, so you send it, then you realise you've sent it, they opened it and read it? Yeah, it was kind of a classic you kind of hit reply all and you don't realise that the person you're kind of talking a little bit of smack about is actually on the email chain.

I've had people do that in Facebook Messenger where they didn't realise it was a Facebook group because they just read the first name that pops up that was spoke. Yes. And then they start typing, they send it and they're like, that was in a group chat. Because a lot of, I think Gmail,

you have a five second retraction, eh? Yes. What was the fallout? Well, I didn't realise for a while, and the person who I was kind of sitting some pretty rude about in the email, and I realised afterwards that was pretty uncalled for, they were just sitting opposite me,

and they were just giving me the evil stages. I was like, what is going on? They were like, shit, that's bold. He's acting so casual. He's going to send that, and then really casual about it. Wow. That superior had to tell me and then really casual about it. Wow. A superior had to tell me, hey, you know, you hit reply all and that's pretty. You don't really say that about your co-workers.

Dummy would have dropped out. Technology gets you sometimes. How bad was it for you? It got me again. Well, it was kind of, I guess, someone was late to getting something through work-wise. You know, classic office stuff, really, when the office that I work in. And I mentioned something about their reputation

around the office in regards to getting things late through. So, you know, not extremely personal, but a little bit. You're like, you know, by the way, boss, this isn't the first time this has happened. Yeah, I'm all sweaty. Thanks, Phil. Oh, that's made me all funny. Well, at least you're not this person. I'm just going to read out this text.

During COVID lockdown on a video meeting, my guts were doing backflips from a dodgy meal I had the night before. I muted myself and let out one of the most disgusting and loud noises my body has ever produced. Jeez. Oh, thanks for that. How do you just have that on hand, Clint? We did need sound effects, so that wasn't a sound effect, Meg.

Turns out I was actually muted during the meeting and I'd unmuted myself. The team proceeded to hear the violent bells through the chat. So you unmuted for the fart. Nightmare. You'd have to own it. Pretend you did it for a gag and for a laugh.

Yeah. That's funnier than being caught in here. Oh, so I've got a fart machine here. But there's only a certain person that can pull that off. Like the quiet little mousy person from the office does that. Or our offices are okay but maybe different offices. Ashley said in lockdown I told my daughter's teacher

we were doing meth. Meant to be math. Yes. Yes, we've been doing meth all week. What about Justin? Alright, hey Justin. How did technology let you down? Hey guys, how are we? Yeah, so I it's not so much one that happened to me but I worked Justin. All right. Hey, Justin. How did technology let you down? Hey, guys. How are we? Yeah. Yeah, so it's not so much one that happened to me,

but I worked at Telco for about eight years. Yeah. And the most common one we got was husbands that had been looking at, let's just say, certain websites where they hadn't realised that you're not supposed to push yes for the cookies and ads. And we had wives bringing in phones going, my husband's got all these viruses on the phone, what's causing this, what's causing that?

So it actually happened so often we got used to it enough that we sort of said, oh, no, this is just very common and just cleared the guy's internet history and handed back the phone. Oh, solid. And say, for instance... My goodness. And say, for instance, you did want to block those cookies. How would one do it?

Oh, damn. Justin on hold. Does that know you're going to make your bed? Okay, I'll make my wife bed. I'm lying. No leaving and she can do it herself. and on hold. She's like, no, you're going to make your bed? Okay, I'll make my wife bed. Lying it. No leaving and she can do it herself. The Clint, Meg and Dan Podcast.

Okay, bring up the magic music. Okay. God, I haven't practiced this one, so please don't stuff it up, Meg. I'm talking to myself here. You can play along with this as well. If you've heard it before and you know how it works, awesome. If you've heard it before and you know how it works, awesome.

If you don't, be prepared to have your... Okay, yes. Right, both of you choose a number from 1 to 10 in your own head. Do not say it out loud. Okay? Got it. Oh, now I want to change it though. Okay, do whatever number you... Okay, keep it simple, Clint, because me is...

Between 1 and 10. Between 1 and 10. Multiply it by nine in your head. Yeah. Multiply it by nine? I know. This is where I knew I was going to lose Dan.

Okay, I was going to lose Dan to get your calculator up, Dan. For God's sake, I knew I was going to... Okay, don't say anything out loud because I need to see if I get... I'm trying to get you two to connect. So just...

So the number times nine. Yes. Okay. Okay. Yep. Add the two digits of that number together. Yep. Okay?

So it just results in one. Mm-hmm. Okay. Now subtract five. Okay? Mm-hmm. You can do that in your head? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Okay, now whatever your number is, I want you to convert it to the alphabet. So it would be A equals one, B equals two, C equals three, D equals 4, 4 equals 5. Okay. If I've done that. E, sorry.

So A, B, C, D, E, F, G, all the way down to 9, I imagine it's only one number. Okay. You done that? Mm-hmm. Now, when you're here, choose a country that has a name that starts with the letter that you have. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Hold on. I'm just trying to think. My geography's not as good that you have? Okay. Yeah? Okay. Hold on, I'm just trying to think. You're going to take my geography's not as good as my maths. Okay. Now, wait, wait, I haven't thought of a country yet. Neither have I. Yes, I do. Okay.

Now, think of an animal starting with the last letter of that country. Yeah? You've got an animal with the last letter of the country that you've got? Yeah. Okay. Now I want you to think of a colour with the last letter of that animal and let me know when you have it. Yeah.

Yeah. How many orange kangaroos have you seen in Denmark recently? Did that work for anybody? Well, I got aqua capybaras from Denmark. Yeah, and I got a black killer whale from Denmark. Black killer whale? Yeah. She's never been the strongest at massaging a clink.

Shit. Really? Yeah. What about you, Bridges? Anybody text in, did anybody get an orange kangaroo in Denmark? Someone send airpods. Yeah, Bridges, go. Sorry, so the first, you took the nine and you doubled that? Did anybody get an orange kangaroo in Denmark? Someone said F off.

Yeah, Bridges, go. Sorry, so the first, you took the nine and you doubled that? He's back in number two. He's back in number two. To be honest, that's the thing I struggled with, Carl. No one get an orange kangaroo in Denmark. Casey's just told you to, where to go, Meg? Told you to F off? Maybe I connected to, oh, here we go.

What the F? Oh, thank you. I connected to the wrong people. Is it like a basic B test or whatever? Probably, yeah. I really wish I'd thought of kangaroo. I kidded you with the wrong people. Is it like a basic bee test or whatever? Probably, yeah. I really wish I'd thought of kangaroo. I went with capybara. Dan, that's spelt with a C.

It is. You're such an idiot. He would have thought it if he could spell. 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, check out our OnlyFans
