This is a podcast from Rover.
Some podcasts educate, some inspire.
We do neither.
Welcome to the most unnecessary thing you'll listen to today.
This is the Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
As the nation slowly wakes up from their slumber.
These three have been awake for hours.
Crafting their finest content.
Preparing the latest in music and celeb news
restocking the prize cupboard and sharpening their wit and now they're ready
put down your coffee fasten your seat belt and turn up your radio.
Because it's time for Clint, Meg and Dan.
Kia ora, good morning.
It is, I was going to say almost, bang on six o'clock.
Yeah, happy Friday.
Friday morning, how good?
Yeah, good morning. Hey, congratulations guys.
It's the first full week we've done in a while.
It is, yeah.
A lot of people would have had a lot of time off over the last couple of weeks.
Yeah.
The first full week in 30 years.
Yeah, and it is always hard doing a full week after you've, you know,
got a little soft and done a couple of shorties.
Yeah, thinking of everybody down in Wellington and Christchurch today as well,
obviously a lot of weather that I feel like just sort of came from nowhere.
Yeah, I didn't see any warnings yesterday, and then it kind of just,
there's flooding.
I didn't know it was happening to Christchurch.
Obviously, I've got family
in Wellington
and mum was on the phone to me
and she had a couple of those,
like, she stopped talking
on the phone,
she got a bit of a fright.
She's like, oh,
I've never felt this,
like, worried about wind before.
And I always think of people
like around those areas
that live alone, you know,
that maybe have no one
to talk to
or have no family in the area.
So, yeah, really thinking
of you guys this morning.
Oh, that'll help Margaret.
Yeah, yeah, Margaret will be like,
Oh, thanks, Dan.
Dan's thinking of me.
Dan's having a...
That's made all the difference, actually.
Margaret, give me a call.
0800 the edge and I'll talk to you.
Bang, hole in my roof.
But Dan's thinking about me.
That's great.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
All right, 6am throwback for your Friday.
What are you looking at, team,
for a Friday that's going to get the mood going?
Oh, oh, oh. Could we have something like On the Floor by Jennifer Lopez
purely because they got new carpet for the first time?
Oh, and how is your beautiful plush?
It's half done.
Say less. It's got pitbull in it.
Yeah, I don't know.
You guys, I mean, anyone that has listened to the show for even many years
has known that I've always said my dream is to get you covered so i'm
very happy girl this morning very very happy you've got humble dreams i've got little little
dreams yeah but um but yeah i'm i'm over the moon it's so funny it just feels like such a thing i've
since we moved into the house eight years ago i'll be like gotta change that car transforms
a place like when you watch the block eight years on i've finally done it i'm just incredible no
you're like oh the houses look okay and then they do
new carpet
on the block houses
and you're like
whoa
and also one of those
skills that you sit there
and go
I don't know how
they do that
it's incredibly
the measurements and stuff
it's actually
incredible talent
I actually
am sort of a little bit
gutted you've got new carpet
because I love coming to
your house and playing
a game in my head
where I just try and
guess what the stain
is on the carpet
oh god
it's gone
it's like you look around and you're like,
that is chocolate or poo.
Do you know what else you'll notice?
You know when you get in a car and it has a new car smell?
Yes, it's got new carpet smell.
Yeah, new carpet smell.
It actually makes your house just smell so much better.
I'm just really excited.
So we're getting the bedrooms done today.
We've paid for this, but Harrison's did it.
I'm in a place called Harrison's.
They've been so great
and genuinely non-collaborated
or anything,
no influencer stuff there.
Can't shout out anyone
these days without you.
I know without it seeming like
I'm just disingenuous.
But everyone you carpet,
Meg Tenick,
check out Harrison's.
I know,
they were amazing.
10% off.
I'm just,
I'm floored.
Somebody just comes in,
rips it up and just measures,
I don't know.
So let's do a floor one.
Yeah.
There are quite a few floor songs.
Did you want me to do like, did you want me to get that jingle so you could do that bit
you wanted to?
No one does it like Harrison's.
I'll see if I can find it.
I think she's getting paid for that one, Claire.
No, I'm not getting paid for any of them.
I'm familiar.
I could find something.
I'll finish off.
Harrison's, Harrison's, Harrison's, Harrison's, Harrison's.
That's the five.
And we just need to do a couple more after seven,
and she's got the free carpet.
Yeah, yeah.
We lose to Harrison's five times, does that count as five?
And don't mention carpet mill.
Jesus, what are you going to do?
Oh, for God's sake, just play with the song.
If you want your carpet laying better than all the rest,
then head to Harrison's today.
Used by Meg from the radio.
She wanted new carpet for over 10 years,
and where did she go?
Harrison's.
Not Carpet Mill.
No, don't mention Carpet Mill in the Harrison's.
We shouldn't really do it in this ad, should we?
All right, yeah, on the floor.
Bloody love that.
Great.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh, my gosh.
You've both got stories about your kids. I'm going to judge which one's better. Okay, yeah, Dan goes, I've got a story about my kid. I. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. You've both got stories about your kids.
I'm going to judge which one's better.
Okay.
Yeah, Dan goes, I've got a story about my kid.
I was like, yeah, same.
And then we thought, well, let's both do it.
This was a stressful thing.
Should I go first or do you want to go first?
Sure.
Okay.
Sounds stressful.
Something happened.
So our road currently is getting completely redone.
So they're redoing.
Oh, nightmare.
On which house?
On our new one.
New house.
Yeah.
And the one that we rent, Meg.
Okay?
Sorry, it's just fun.
This happened to us about a month ago,
and they reseal it all.
And then literally,
rocks will stick to your tires
for about the next four to six weeks,
and you take them in your drive
and all the way in your house.
It always takes longer than you think too,
doesn't it?
And I'll take you the road,
and I'll raise you both footpaths as well.
So they're just concreted outside and we're not even allowed to use our driveway.
So I have to park my car up the road because it's just been concreted and walk up.
And so anyway, I was walking from my car to my house yesterday
and there was a bit of a kerfuffle with all the road workers.
And they were all discussing how a cat had walked over one of the driveways
because there was paw prints all over the freshly poured concrete.
And I was like, oh, God, what a nightmare, whoever's done that.
Like, that's going to cost them a fortune.
We went inside, and I said to Hannah, who was home, I was like, where's Kimmy?
And she said, he's outside.
And so I sort of thought nothing of it, and throughout the rest of the day,
Wow, how has he thought nothing of it? For the rest of the day How has he thought nothing of it?
For cat prints in the concrete
Where's my cat?
It must be
I'm still waiting for his son George to come into the story
Because remember Clint
It's a story about his child
No I said my first born son
Anyway
The footprints were down the road
So I kind of was like oh it's not Kimmy
anyway
about 7pm last night
Kimmy comes home
concrete
little bits of like
concrete
in between his paws
he's been caught
red poured
he was the guy
that did it
and they like
had to completely
re-pour the
concrete on this
person's thing
down the road
just because it's a kid
I'd be like
oh well it's cute kid, I'd be like, oh, well.
It's cute.
Cute.
It adds character.
Yeah.
Well.
And poor Kimmy, who has this, obviously thinks he's pretty cool.
He's like, there you go.
You're welcome.
There's my star on the boulevard.
Yeah.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
Yeah.
So that's my firstborn child story.
Clint, over to you.
We were out for dinner last night, and my little guy was quite quiet.
He's only eight.
And this lady was serving us.
She was super lovely and giving the kids colouring pencils and things and whatever.
Just one of those waitresses that, I don't know, just really enjoys her job and is making sure.
Oh, like a good one.
Yeah.
Do they have tips?
Like a good one.
Surely it passes the time faster too, you know? And I remember that's why Ty was being quiet
when probably like half an hour into the meal,
he turns and he goes to me,
Dad, if that girl was seven, I'd marry her.
Oh, bless him.
And then when we went to pay, he came up with me.
Don't know why he doesn't have money.
And so I went to go pay and then
I was just chatting with her and then Ty goes,
how old are you? And she goes,
I'm 21 tomorrow. And he goes,
oh.
Like he was hoping she was going to be like, 8.
Yeah.
And he's like, maybe I could work up to 12.
Yeah.
He's like, 21 tomorrow. No, it's a double digit.
Did you go half your age
Plus 7
Did you do those calculations
Yeah
He's still short I think
Yeah
Bless him
That's so cute
Yeah
Those little crushes
Those little crushes
At that age
Really big
They feel really big
I remember them still
I remember my first crush
Yeah
Kim
Kim for me
Kim
Dan's cat
No
It's Kimmy
Oh right
Do you remember your name It was. No. It's Kimmy. Oh, right.
Do you remember your name?
It was quite a bit older than Kimmy.
Yeah, gross.
The Clint, Meg and Dan podcast.
How can I get, get, get to know, know, know you better, better, baby?
I want to get to know you.
I know there's a lot of people around the Christchurch area and Wellington as well who are doing it pretty rough over the last 24 hours
with the weather around the country.
He said that like a dog.
Yeah.
Very rough.
He did, didn't he?
Yeah, he did actually.
Yeah.
So hopefully you're not too bad this morning.
I think it's sort of eased slightly,
but there's still restrictions in place.
Got to deal with the aftermath, I imagine.
Yeah.
Matthew, whereabouts are you in the country?
Christchurch.
And how are you this morning?
I know there's a lot of flooding around the place.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.
I live in Rolleston, but I work in Christchurch,
and yeah, the road wasn't too bad this morning
and all of that to get to work and all of that.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
Yeah, nice.
I know it looked like from the photos I saw,
maybe out of the city there's more flooding in the sort of rural areas.
Yeah, I was meant to have a delivery to Ashburton yesterday,
but looking at all the road things and all of that wasn't the best idea.
Yeah.
Oh, good to hear you're okay, Matthew.
All right, well, Matthew is a truck driver,
and he works for Design Windows.
Okay. Doesn't give me much to work with with a okay, Matthew. All right, well, Matthew is a truck driver, and he works for Design Windows. Okay.
Doesn't give me much to work with with question, though.
Are you one of those truck drivers that has the,
you have the windows all on the side of the truck?
You know, like they're sort of stacked on the side?
Yeah, they're on the side,
then also they stack in the middle, so, yeah.
But I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades,
so I can nearly do everything here,
whether it's truck driving, making them,
glazing them, maintenance
or whatever. What a guy! I've got a
question if you want one, Meg. Oh, please!
Okay. I was reading
an article about truck drivers
and transport and different
professions and how much money they make
that you wouldn't necessarily
know about. Yeah. Wonder where Matt had his
last pay rise?
Can we see if we can get the closest to where Matt last had an increase?
Because supposedly some truck drivers make a pretty good coin out of it.
You'd think Matt would have got a pay rise because, as he said,
a jack of all trades.
That'd be silly to lose him.
That would be silly to lose him.
You know, he's driving the truck.
He's installing.
He's doing the frosting.
Okay, I'll go first.
I think it's been a very long time.
I think it's been
a very, very long time.
I think it's been
over 10 years
I've had to pay rise.
I've just kind of
really,
wow, okay.
That's my guess.
I don't think they,
I reckon he might have
got a tap on the shoulder
just before Christmas
last year.
Around October,
October, November.
I'm going within
the last 12 months.
Okay, and I'm saying
he's gunning for one
right now. Because he hasn't had one in a while. His, and I'm saying he's gunning for one right now.
Because he hasn't had one in a while?
His last one was a couple of years ago.
A couple of years.
The company he works for treats him very, very well.
So he gets, you know...
He's on the radar.
Yeah, and he's currently in the process of sorting his next one.
Okay.
Who's closest, Matt?
It's definitely in the last 12 months, which was about two months ago.
Oh!
Yeah.
Oh, just way to kick off the new year.
Wow.
Nice, Matt.
Good on you.
Did you have to ask for a Matt, or did you just get the old, hey, Matt, I need to talk
to you?
No, I had a performance review, and, like, I'm one of those people, I don't like asking
for money.
I feel as though if you work hard, you deserve it.
Yeah.
And, um, I had my performance review, and, you know, it all went well,
but they didn't give me a rise or anything.
Then three days later, the production manager comes out and said,
hey, we're going to give you another dollar.
So, yeah.
Oh, I love that.
That's really nice they did that.
Not a lot of companies, even though you say, you know,
you work hard and you like to think that people will pay you for it,
there are definitely some companies that take advantage of that.
Yeah, you need to ask who you don't get.
What do you want now, Matty?
I don't. Oh, I just want to know.
What a jack of all trades. No, Matthew, don't.
Not everyone's comfortable telling. Okay, wait.
We'll do this. Matt, you tell Dan
if Dan tells you.
Yeah, Dan, you say what you're on.
I'll just say between
35 and 45, but not
in the middle, but somewhere in between there.
Okay, and I'll just say far less than Meg.
So we've sort of done a couple of kind of ballpark figures there.
Okay.
And when I say a little bit, far, far less.
And then I'm far less than Clint.
So, like, he's way better.
Not what I've heard, Meg.
Oh.
Not what I've heard.
Which one of us has a heated pool?
I think if you look at our houses, it'd be very... Which one of us has a heated pool? I think if you look at our houses, it'd be very...
Which one of us just got new carpet?
Or which one of us lives in the North Shore with two houses?
Just one.
Just a humble rental.
Join Zed Lords on the Z app and fill up...
Old carpet, no pool.
And fill up with fuel discounts, points and treats.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Let's go.
Candle with Meg.
Lorde is doing the rounds with all her interviews at the moment,
talking about her new album, Virgin, that's coming out June 27th.
By the way, she's spoken a little bit more about why it's called Virgin,
because you instantly think of sex, I think.
I mean, I do.
I think it's the most common time Virgin is used is sex.
But she said it can relate to a man, a woman,
or an androgynous person,
as well as someone who is not experienced with sex,
but rather independent.
What does virgin metal mean?
Metal obtained directly from ore.
Yeah, but her album's not called Virgin Metal.
It would be fine if she called it like virgin something else,
but she just called it virgin.
Virgin olive oil.
Yeah, and then we're like, okay, we get it.
Yeah, she posted we're like, okay, we get it. Yeah.
Yeah, she posted another quote saying,
the word virgin, some say, was derived from a Greek word that meant not attached to a man, a woman who was one in herself.
So, but again, like, what we know is just a virgin.
So wait, so initially only women could be virgins?
Yeah, so there is evidence that the word virgin
derived from the combination of the Latin words vir,
well, that's man,
verral,
and gine,
as in woman,
in gynecology.
Wow, if only that carried on, Dan,
then you wouldn't have been
a virgin for so long.
I know.
Oh, bugger.
Because it would only have been
a woman, though.
Yeah, 25.
I will say, though,
that you do go to sex
because it's a photo
of the pelvis
with an IUD
on the cover of the thing.
So I guess
people are assuming
it's just sexual.
And the thing is
it will have to do
with sex as well.
She's not saying it's not.
She's just saying
it's actually more
than just like
a flashy headline.
She's kind of...
Yeah, exactly.
I'm being a little clever too.
You know what I like
looking at
because she's obviously
doing a lot of social media
at the moment.
A lot of lords post she'll post photos of the album cover of her doing interviews.
And her mum, Sonia, always comments.
I just love that.
She's always just like, love you, I'm so proud of you.
It's such a new Kiwi thing.
Oh, do you know, I had to explain to my mum recently
that when she would comment on my stories, it wasn't public.
So she'd be like, this is so amazing, I'm so proud, blah, blah, whatever.
She'd send something and I was like, mum, I'm the only one that sees that.
It's literally like you've just sent me a comment.
Oh, no.
She was like, what do you mean?
I was like, well, when you comment on a story,
it just goes directly to the person.
It's not a public thing.
Only if you comment on a reel.
She's like, what do you mean?
I was like, I don't know what else I can say.
He's comparing himself with Lorde there.
She talked about psychedelics as well.
Psychedelic therapy, should I say,
is a huge cornerstone to my well-being and practice
and just keeps me alive to what's out there and what's possible.
I'm obviously really fortunate not to have the genes
of an addictive personality.
But I remember first smoking weed as a teenager
and seeing my brain for what it was.
If I hadn't smoked weed, I wouldn't have been an artist.
Wow, really?
Which is, I think, a terrible thing
to promote.
Holy cow. And then I got into
mushrooms and cheese.
And now I'm a millionaire. I'm very successful.
No, no, no. Thanks to MDMA.
But also the thing is, like,
where she lives, you're probably
way more desensitised to, especially
talking about weed, because it's legal in a lot of states.
The last thing
I thought was interesting
she spoke about
her body image issues
before putting out
new music saying
I had made my body
very small
which she'd actually
spoken about
about how she lost
lots of weight
earlier on
because I thought
that's what you did
as a woman
and a woman on display.
I thought I'm small
this will communicate
to people that I'm
taking my position
seriously as a pop star.
It had the effect of actually making me feeling totally ungrounded
and I felt very weak.
I look back now and I don't have that same feeling of just floating away.
I eat as much as I want and need now.
She's cool, man.
I like just how cool she is.
She just wears jeans.
She looks casual most of the time.
Do you know, I also noticed an interview that she did,
a video interview, and I thought,
I thought that girl didn't even check the lighting.
And I know that's so silly, but that is such a big thing for a female pop star
to do a low angle, hasn't even checked the lighting,
like not really wearing any makeup, and it doesn't matter.
It just doesn't matter.
I look at that as cool.
Epic.
Love it.
Oh, and go to La Quinta Parnell.
La Quinta Parnell is a brand new hotel at the heart of Auckland City
where comfort and adventure collide.
Book your stay today at laquintaparnell.co.nz.
God, she's good, eh?
Yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Hathaway!
Eh!
Eh!
Alright, I went to Subway over the holidays
getting my order of a sub
when the woman in front of me,
completely average normal looking woman
ordered a sub
that has kept me
awake at night.
I've never heard
of it before.
I've never seen
anyone get it before.
I thought about it
for so long afterwards
and I was like
I just couldn't
understand who it was for
because it didn't look
like it suited her
but she wasn't with any
Can I ask what your order is
just so we can
Mine?
Yeah so we can see Get a gauge. Get a gauge ask what your order is? Mine? Yeah, so we can see.
Get a gauge.
Get a gauge on what you would think was weird.
Yeah, sure.
So I get a six-inch either roasted garlic or Italian herbs and cheese.
Yeah.
And then I get every single vegetable available.
Yeah.
And what's your, like, protein?
Because you're obviously not a meat eater.
Either I get the free avocado or I get a veggie patty and cheese.
Free avocado? You get free avocado or I get a veggie patty and cheese. Free avocado?
You get free avocado with the veggie.
So sometimes you just get vegetables on a sandwich.
Yes, a salad sandwich.
And then I get sweet onion sauce and ranch.
That's so alien to me.
It's a real drop ball to not be getting the southwest.
Oh, not get the southwest.
Sweet onion is so underrated, though, if you haven't had that before.
Right.
Okay.
That wasn't their order.
It was just three ingredients.
Three ingredients.
And you're including sauces as one ingredient.
Yep, we have a few.
Sauces, meats, vegetables.
Salt and pepper, that's non-ingredient.
Right.
The closest yesterday, mozzarella, onion, and carrot.
And remember, we have a giant vending machine box of goodies
to send you, things out of the vending machine,
because thank you to the vending machine company
that came on board with this.
Generous.
$100 cash and movie tickets if you get the sub.
Let's go to Rebecca.
Rebecca.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Great to hear your voice.
The pressure.
You get one swing at it.
What are we going with?
I don't know.
I am going with mozzarella, carrot, and olives.
Mozzarella?
Yuck.
Carrot, olives.
Now, I think two of those ingredients, from what I understand, are very close.
Well, we're thinking that.
I'm not sure about.
Yeah, like, based
on a couple of guesses over the last few days,
I feel like mozzarella, cheese
and carrot are the two ingredients that
are right and the third one's wrong, but I actually
don't know, because Meg hasn't confirmed any of them. You need
all three to know if you're right.
Rebecca, that order is
incorrect. I'm sorry.
Oh, Rebecca.
We're now going to Cameron. Cameron.
Morning, guys.
How are you?
Morning.
The three ingredients on the sub.
Hey, I reckon it's mozzarella, carrot and jalapeno.
Okay.
I've got the winner music ready if you're right.
Okay.
Cameron.
It seems like we're really locked into the mozzarella and carrot.
Cameron, that is incorrect.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
We've now got Michelle and daughter Ella.
Hi, Ella.
Hi.
Hello.
It's a double guess.
Yeah, let's get a double guess.
Let's get a Michelle guess and an Ella guess.
So, Ella, you get yours ready.
We'll give you your mum's.
All right, Ella, do you want to do your sources, baby?
Yeah.
I think that that sandwich might be mozzarella cheese,
onions and lettuce.
Oh, that's disgusting.
I want you to be right, but then also, how gross is that?
I'm sorry, Ella, that is incorrect.
Michelle, you now get a guess.
All right, I might do a strategy play.
And so I might do what Ella's done, change one ingredient.
So mozzarella cheese, onions, and pickles.
That is also incorrect.
I am so sorry, Michelle.
No.
Does this mean we go into a weekend and we still don't know?
No, but we need to get the closest guess from today.
We start compiling all the closest guesses
and work out what they all have in common.
Well, I've got an Excel spreadsheet.
I do.
I've got my Excel spreadsheet in front of me.
Did you guys want to guess or do I just go with all of them?
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
I need to have a guess.
Okay.
Can I guess?
Go first?
Okay.
My pick, mozzarella, carrot Capsicum
Incorrect
Bugger
Are we sure there's no sauces?
When do we eliminate
There's a sauce
No we haven't
We haven't Clint
Mozzarella
Cheese
Carrot
And mayo
There's lots of carrot
So mozzarella, cheese, carrot and mayo
Incorrect I think it's mozzarella Carrot and mayo. There's lots of carrot. So mozzarella, cheese, carrot and mayo.
Incorrect.
I think it's mozzarella, carrot and onion now.
No, I've already done that. I guessed that yesterday.
That was the closest guess so far, Meg said.
So who was the closest today?
Today's closest guess was...
Clint.
Again? God, you're scraping around. Clint. Again.
God, you're scraping around the surface.
You're just slowly going around the surface.
Mozzarella cheese, carrot.
You're teasing.
And mayo.
But then also, I had the onion instead of the mayo,
and I've been the closest guest so far by times.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Spinky boot.
What's the weather like where you are at the moment?
Because some people went for a hell of a ride over the weekend.
Yeah, and just over the last 24 hours,
I don't know the age, especially if you're in Christchurch or Wellington,
I know it's been hit hard in those regions,
but 150 kilometre winds batted Wellington yesterday.
And I know this morning, still, like,
the water around the coastal areas
is like going, lapping up against the
roads and stuff. Yeah, the trains as well.
Sounds like a lot for us but for Wellingtonians are they like
yeah, 150? We had that
on Tuesday. I thought that too. My mum's been
in Wellingtonia her whole life but she got really
frightened yesterday and mum loves a storm
like she's a storm watcher sort of gal
but she was quite like, oh god, this is really intense
Meg. And it's funny you say that, Meg, because
I think there was, I saw a couple of interviews on the news
last night with Wellingtonians who are used
to, as you say, wind and they were saying that
it's the worst they've ever seen and a couple of them were
really old, like people that have lived in
Wellington for many, many years.
Oh, you mean that they've got...
Oh, way older than Philippa.
She's young, she's a spring chicken. Philippa, I feel
like she'd be in that Twister movie
where they jump on the trucks and chase the storm.
She just loves getting real wet.
Oh, for God's sake.
We've got Liam on.
Eye of the storm.
Way to make the storm sexual, Clint.
That's a shame.
What?
You did that?
Hi, Liam.
You're in Christchurch.
How is it down there?
G'day, everyone.
Yeah, the city of Christchurch
has had a bit of a beating
from the rain
the last few days
it's been pretty full on
severe winds coming in
especially out north Canterbury
but we'll get it through it guys
I love how you're sort of
talking like a reporter
I think that's fantastic
I love this
yeah
I thought I'd give it a go
I got told by Carl
producer Carl
that I'm your
Christchurch reporter
so I thought I'd put it on for you thank you I got told by Carl, Patricia Carl, that I'm your Christchurch reporter, so I thought I'd put it on for you.
Thank you, Carl.
This is great.
Thank you, Carl.
So whereabouts in Christchurch are you?
Are you in, like,
kind of the rural areas,
which looks like the flooding
is affected mostly?
Yeah, well,
I'm just out sort of
wrangling around.
It's not too bad,
but I'm just driving inland now
and getting hit by
some pretty severe gusts.
Oh, so it's still happening.
So we've been kind of reading that it's like dying down.
So it's not for you in Christchurch?
It's definitely not as bad as it was yesterday,
but still pretty average.
But there's still a lot of flooding, like,
close to the beaches and stuff.
Yeah, well, the Met Service has said,
and this will be good news for many people,
that the wild weather is forecast to ease today.
So hopefully throughout the day it gets a little bit better.
Well, someone who seems to be quite passionate about weather, Liam,
I'll send you along to our must-see movie, Thunderbolts.
Hey!
Marvel Studios.
Oh.
Yeah, Marvel Studios.
Thunderbolts, bro.
It dropped in cinemas yesterday, so you'll be one of the first to see it.
We'll get that voucher out to you, bro.
I'll leave it. Cheers, mate.
And Liam, may I just finish it up with your classic sign-off
that you'd always do
on the news.
That's been,
I don't know, mate.
Oh, that's his classic sign-off.
I love that from Liam.
He does this big pitch
and then he goes,
I don't know, mate.
Keeps him humble, doesn't he?
Keeps him really relatable
to the people.
Yeah, gives me chills
every time he does it.
And a lot of weather people
really don't know, you know?
A lot of the times they're wrong
so he's covered his ass there
right at the end.
Paul Holmes said
it's our people today,
that's Holmes tonight
and that was Liam's.
Both iconic in their own way.
I don't know, mate.
Neither do we, Liam.
Neither do we.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Alright, let's get into
the best bits of the week
according to our producer neeps.
Producer neeps here
with another producer diaries
and the band is back together after a well-deserved Easter break.
Let's get into it.
We started off the web by wishing our very own Clint Randall
a happy 40th birthday.
And we even got some voice messages from some pretty big internet personalities.
Hey Clint, happy birthday. I hear you're turning 40. Congrats.
That's a pretty big number. Not as big as a thousand.
Which, if you wanted to,
you could be number 1,000 for me this year.
Hi, Clint.
Happy 40th birthday.
I'm going to treat you to the sloppiest
you-know-what when you get home.
Sloppiest bowl of ramen noodles,
I think she was meaning.
This week on the show,
we also chatted about the times
that technology has stitched you up
and we got this fantastic call from a listener.
The most common one we got was husbands that have been looking at certain websites
where they hadn't realised that you're not supposed to push yes for the cookies and eggs.
My goodness.
Let's say, for instance, you did want to block those cookies.
How would one do it?
Oh, damn.
We also introduced a brand new game to the show this week
after Meg was physically rattled after going to Subway.
A three-ingredient sub.
Surely that can't be too hard to guess.
Gherkin, mozzarella, cheese and olives.
Spinach, carrot and olives.
Mozzarella, olives and jalapeno.
Mozzarella, tomato and garlic.
Jalapeno, beetroot and mozzarella cheese.
Swiss cheese, olive and mayo.
Well, turns out it is that hard.
Invigorating radio this is.
Clint, Meg and Dan are on a mission
to see if they can start a band
with zero prior music experience.
We auditioned for Kiwi artist Mitch James.
Oh, yeah.
Woo.
Two, one, go.
Oh, shit.
Here she goes. And I don't think it went too well Because he said this
Love you all individually
I do not love you as a band
Okay
Hey, it wasn't all bad news though
At least we got a name for our band
Clint was the most happy about it
MCDC
MCDC
Yes
I got my initials in twice baby
Ah right, that makes sense Although my favourite Clint Randall highlight of the week DC! Yes! I got my initials in twice, baby. Ah, right.
That makes sense.
Although my favourite Clint Randall highlight of the week
was yesterday when he decided to tell the whole audience
to gamble live on air.
It's called the Martingale betting system
and it's a strategy where somebody doubles their bet
after each loss,
aiming to recuperate all previous losses
with one single win.
Oh, the boss is interested.
He's not.
I'm not interested.
That probably breaks every broadcast standard there is.
No, because at the end you say,
gamble responsibly.
Alright, that's all the time
we've got. I've actually got a meeting with HR now.
Cheers, guys. Bloody brilliant.
Maybe we're back next week.
I forget
about those. Those broadcasting standard
things, because we podcast as well
and I forget sometimes
standards
standards
it's like playing two sports
and sometimes you forget
which rules are for which sport
that's true
I think we do get a few complaints
but Casey the Boss
never tells us about them
he shields them from
yeah
he'll be like
oh he's a good shield then
yeah
that means
when we do get told
that must have been really bad.
Yeah.
Because I've definitely been told when I've had complaints with mummy.
Oh, really?
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
You're the one that stuffs up the most, aren't you?
Clint, Meg and Dan.
We thought we were well-rested.
We were coming back super well-rested, ready to go.
I don't know.
How much time do you need off to be well-rested, Meg?
You had a bit of a drop ball in front of a massive
celebrity. Yeah okay but
the thing is we can't blame me.
Who can we blame?
Okay I can play the audio and we find out whose fault
it was. Okay whose fault was it
that Meg pissed herself in front of
Gracie Abrams? Take a listen.
I swear to God I just coughed and I wet myself.
Guys, this is Gracie.
Hi, Gracie.
You can hear the nerves in my voice.
You can hear them.
How often are you kegeling, babe?
I kegel often since I have already given a vaginal birth before in my life.
And that changes things.
Okay, I was like, as opposed to, but the sunroof.
Sunroof, yeah.
So I do Kegel, and I've known that I've needed to Kegel.
You guys know I've even been to a vagina physio.
He can't jump on trampolines.
No, I can now.
I can now.
So this was quite shocking to me because I thought I was back on track.
My trampolining was over, so then you went and got a professional. Yeah, yeah can now. I can now. So this was quite shocking to me because I thought I was back on track. Because my trampolining was over
so then you went and got a professional.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now she's back on the tramp.
I got a real fright when I coughed
and obviously you guys probably have never experienced this.
I imagine probably many mums, pregnant women have.
It really is like a loss of control.
It's really bizarre to have that feeling of like,
how did that happen?
How does that,
like, what do you mean?
I cough all the time.
You guys cough all the time.
You don't wet yourself.
It's like my body just did it.
Wait, what does the vagina physiotherapist do?
We were just working,
because I had,
before I got pregnant,
I had a lot of pain,
and I wasn't able to,
we didn't think I was able to get pregnant.
So it's all been a bit of a shock and surprise that I was able to. But like, when I go to my physio, he gives me a bit of pain and I wasn't able to, we didn't think I was able to get pregnant. So it's all been a bit of a like
shock and surprise
that I was able to.
But like,
when I go to my physio,
he gives me a bit of a rub down.
Yeah,
she's just doing that with vaginas.
So I've got a sore shoulder.
He'll put some like gel on it
and then he'll rub it
and give it a massage.
And then after that,
he gives me a bunch of exercises
that I need to go and do at the gym.
Yeah,
basically she,
you know,
would insert
and then I had to do exercises while she was there
and show her how my muscles were internally.
The only difference really is, Clint, that Meg does exercises.
She just can't do them at the gym.
The ones she does are illegal at the gym.
But I mean, yeah.
But last time I was pregnant with my daughter Daisy,
I couldn't laugh without vomiting.
And I know that sounds really outrageous.
And that was,
I don't know if it's going to happen this time
because that was late in the pregnancy.
Every time I laughed,
I'd end up having an emergency vomit.
It's something triggered in my,
I don't know what it was,
but I vomited in my husband's hat.
I vomited in coffee cups.
I remember that video.
What were you laughing at?
I remember the video,
you crack up and then you needed to vomit
and you grabbed his hat and he's like,
no, not my hat. Or you got to wear that you grabbed his hand and he's like, no! He threw up in it.
Not my hand!
Or you gave me that secondhand hat last year.
That's my favourite fedora!
It's like your body just completely gives up on you when you're pregnant.
So I won't be alone in it, I'm sure.
There'll be other bodily functions that just kind of go,
nah, I'm giving so much energy to creating life,
I'm giving that one there, that one's the bottom of the back burner.
Yeah, your body just lets you down.
You're kind of like, oh, come on, body.
And then what more so during that nine weeks, sorry, nine months of pregnancy?
Yes, more so, much more so.
And towards the end.
I mean, at the start, it's normally vomiting where it lets you down.
And then towards the end, wheeze, vomit.
I mean, milk.
Also take into account account hormones as well.
You just cry at the drop of a hat sometimes.
Okay, so have you got a scenario or situation
where you can make Meg feel a little better
where you go, don't worry, Meg.
It's not as bad as what I did.
When did your body let you down when you were pregnant?
Okay.
I know I'm not alone.
I don't think I have a story for this.
No, not for you, Danny.
You don't have to have a story for everything.
All right, okay, good.
Your body changes a lot
when you're pregnant
and things move.
Ow!
Honest to God,
right now,
for the sorest nipple,
you have no idea
how much that's hurting.
No, I'm just sorry.
Stinging nipples.
God, any of you
just go through the ringer,
don't you?
So many things happen
and then afterwards,
God, your body changes
a whole nother...
I have a full-on chin strap
that I have to pluck out every week, basically.
Oh, like a Craig David.
Yeah, because of the hormones of being pregnant.
Is that from pregnancy?
Yes.
So it gives me a hormone set.
Even before you're pregnant.
Shut up.
Okay, well, if you're wondering why we're talking about this,
Meg spoke to Gracie Abrams earlier this week,
went to Spark Arena,
was waiting patiently for her and her people
to arrive into the interview room and about
eight seconds,
seven, I think, before they did
walk in, this happened.
I swear to God, I just coughed and I wet myself.
Guys, this is Gracie.
Hi, Gracie!
That wasn't cut. There was nothing cut out of that.
So that's how quick it was.
You're not the only one that's been let down by your nipples, Meg, as well.
There's a lot of people texting through saying,
my areola's now visible from the moon after pregnancy.
Yeah, they get really, really dark and really, really dark.
The areola, not the nips.
So the actual size expands.
Yeah, it's because babies don't have very good sight.
So your body makes your nipples darker and larger for it easier for them to be able to know where to latch.
Another person.
That's crazy.
Saying they had lovely straight hair before they got pregnant.
Now it's curly.
Lucky.
Oh yeah, hormones can change that.
Stacey just texted and that happened to me as well.
Stacey, your foot and size creases.
So you, I'm now a shoe size bigger.
On both feet?
Yes, on both feet.
Cool.
Yep, yep.
She went out by 0.5 when pregnant,
had to buy all new shoes.
Is that because you become heavier
because you're growing a baby inside you
and so your feet sort of squash but go wider?
I think it's swelling.
Swelling.
How is your wife a doctor?
Because someone texts her saying my feet are wide.
Yeah, well, Stacey's
here, actually.
Stacey, you increased in foot
size?
Yes, I did. Like, literally, like,.5
size. I had to literally
buy all new shoes. And does it bounce
back? Did it go back down?
No, it didn't.
And I didn't actually gain too much weight
when pregnant, either. It just, yeah. Wait, so what'd you do? So you had to bin? And I didn't actually gain too much weight when pregnant either.
It just, yeah.
Wait, so what'd you do?
So you had to bin all your old shoes?
I just sold them all on Marketplace and then bought new ones with the money that I got.
Wow, that is crazy.
That's incredible.
That's the stuff you don't know.
Yeah, I've never heard that before. No, you don't.
Ever.
I've got two kids, I've never heard that.
Wow.
That's the kind of stuff I'd like to hear in antenatal class.
Yes, they don't say that.
These kind of stories, I'd be paying a lot more attention.
They don't say how your areolas are going to double in size.
You guys didn't know that areolas got bigger and darker?
No, I knew that there's obviously because they're being used for breastfeeding.
Come on, Dan idiot.
You didn't know either, Clint.
Shut up, you didn't know that.
I thought that one was like, you guys would have noticed it.
Skin tags pop up, apparently.
Yes, I got four or five skin tags.
Do you remember that?
Meg bought a skin tag cutter machine from Teemu.
And I was like, babe, you should spend more on the skin tag cutter.
You should just spell out.
Of one thing to get from Teemu, that's not it.
My hair, another tease, has gotten crazy curly after having kids.
I used to have straight hair, so many things.
You literally become, your body completely changes.
Your bones shift, as you guys know. You know that one.
Your bones literally move. Organs
move in your body. Alice has got lopsided
boobs. Yeah, because
if you're breastfeeding more with one than the other.
Emma's done the whole cough and weed herself thing like you, Meg.
Hi, Emma. Bless you, Emma.
Hi. Hi.
Was this post-birth or during pregnancy?
This was during pregnancy.
During my third pregnancy.
So the bladder was already a bit, you know, in trouble.
It's gone.
But yes, I actually was suffering a chest infection
and was driving to work having a coughing fit
and just completely gone.
Wow.
Yeah, because you think, like, beforehand,
you're like, oh, if you cough and you feel like you need to wee,
you can hold it, but it just goes, right?
There is nothing there to hold anymore and it just goes.
That's common to me.
Even this text.
I got out of the car after a road trip to empty the mailbox,
stood up and pissed myself.
Just stood up.
Stood up.
Oh, my God.
It'd be so scary.
Just like moving around.
Life.
Jokes aside, like genuinely, eh?
Like your body just goes through the wringer.
And I don't think it's like talked about enough
how much it kind of... The population
would be half what it is now if guys
had to give birth. Oh man.
It really would be amazing.
I accidentally like got flicked
in the nuts the other day and it ruined
me for the rest of the day.
He's got us!
He's got us!
Buddy and Sharon first play.
Old phone
It just dropped today
Part of New Music Friday
And yeah I'm in
I'm in
He writes a catchy song eh
When all the instruments
Like disappear
It's just acapella
Oh
Inspiring as well
Mick
You were rough
I know actually
Do you know what
Second listen
It was fabulous
All the harmonies
I know I loved it
Like when he did
And then yeah It broke down So he is good ooh, and then, yeah, it broke down.
So he is good, isn't he?
I don't do it in my version.
I don't do any of the oohs.
But I did go home last night
and found my old iPhone 3GS from 2008.
Went through it, put it on the charger.
I wouldn't want to follow that.
Yeah, we should have played it a second.
Bugger.
But Dan is about to do his version
of Ed Sheeran's brand new song
Old Phone
Okay, so it's a little bit different to Ed's version
That's all I'm going to say
Producer Neves on guitar, thank you very much
And Dan is going to perform this live
Here we go
I found my old phone today
Haven't used it since 2008
Plugged it into a USB-A
And charged up
the battery again
Open up my browser
history
What was I googling when
I was 16
Two girls, one cup
Could not be unseen
Really put me off ice cream.
I hadn't heard of private browsing.
Most of the things I searched arousing.
Oh, I begin to start regretting.
Taking this trip down red tube lane. Oh, God.
Ed?
True story I found my old phone today
My favorite podcast was Dom and JJ
On the edge back in the day
Who knew that my peru was gay
I found my old phone today.
Wow.
It's not bad.
It's a little bit more X-rated than Ed's one, if I'm honest.
Now I know why we weren't playing that in the school run.
There was a lot of other stuff that I couldn't put on there.
Nothing rhymes with bukkake.
So I had to just leave that out.
Okay, that's all we have time for.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
An international comedian, Joe Coy, joins us this morning.
You are going to be in our beautiful country June 4th
for your comedy show at Spark Arena.
How early do you get to a country before you perform?
Are you going to spend a bit of time here before or after?
Actually, my birthday's June 2nd,
so I'm celebrating my birthday out there, I think. Oh, nice.
That's amazing. A nice Gemini.
Maybe like Dua Lipa and Gracie
Abrams off to Waiheke and doing a
bit of a winery tour or something?
No, just go to a bar.
Oh, yeah. Well, Danny Doolins
is probably a good one for you in Auckland.
Yeah. Danny Doolins.
You guys can join too if you want to meet up.
Oh, Joe, you don't want to invite us because we'll turn up.
Yeah, we'll be there and we'll punish you.
I'll put you on the list.
You must be very used to a large audience.
I mean, you're playing big arenas like Spark Arena,
but no audience I'd imagine is bigger than the Golden Globes,
which you hosted.
That was two years ago.
You're standing at the side of the stage,
and you know not only are you performing
and hosting the Golden Globes,
one of the biggest award ceremonies in the world,
but that is then being broadcast
to millions of people around the world.
How are the nerves?
I mean, it's just like any other gig,
you know what I mean?
That was such a quick turnaround.
You know what I mean?
Most, Kimmel got it, you know,
when he does it, it's like a year to prepare. I got it 10 days before, you know what I mean? Most, Kimmel got it, you know, when he does it, it's like a year to prepare.
I got it 10 days before, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
So it was crazy.
But there's one even bigger coming up, SoFi Stadium.
That's 70,000 people.
The same stadium that, you know,
The Weeknd and Swift and Beyonce are at.
And Luffy and I are doing those numbers right now.
How do you write and come up with new content?
It's like my plane was on fire two weeks ago.
And it was all over the news, right?
My plane was on fire, emergency landing in Tokyo.
And they were talking about emergency landing in the water
and then dumping all the fuel out and the whole cabin was full of smoke.
Nightmare.
And I had my whole family on the plane.
And you're just sitting there like,
like, really, this is how it's going to happen right now? You know what I mean? It's complete silence. And I had to be family on the plane. And you're just sitting there like, like, really, this is how it's going to happen right now?
You know what I mean?
It's complete silence.
And I had to be on stage at eight.
And literally the first thing they talked about
was the whole plane situation.
And that's how I write.
But how do you make that funny?
You've just told us that you nearly died.
You went into all the details that every family member was in.
But when I was with, like, John Lovitz, I used to open for John Lovitz, right?
And he looked at me and he goes,
he goes, do you get sad or do you make fun of sad situations?
Because I don't get sad.
If someone's dead and I find out,
I just find out what's funny about it.
And when he said that, I was like, yo, me too.
I didn't see it. That's funny about it. And when he said that, I was like, yo, me too. I just see it.
That's what they say.
All comedians grow up in hard times and hard households
because your brain actually was wired to
the only way to cope with it is to find the funny.
Jokoi, if your show at Spark Arena in Auckland,
June 4th, is as incredible as your teeth,
it'll be a hell of a show.
Great teeth.
You have, your teeth are beautiful'll be a hell of a show. Great teeth. You have...
Thank you.
Your teeth are beautiful.
You have got gorgeous teeth.
And that's massive compliment
coming from Clint
who's got imperfect teeth as well.
That's all he cares about.
Yeah, but are yours real or fake?
His are real.
Oh, mine are fake,
so it don't matter.
He can even have braces.
He wins.
If he gets whitening,
they don't have a shade white enough
to match his naturally white teeth.
Like, they have to mix it.
I love it.
My teeth were so bad when I started comedy when I was 18.
And when I would laugh, I would stick my tongue in the hole
to cover up the hole.
I'd laugh like this.
I'd go...
Oh, John.
I'd cover the hole.
Then I got The Tonight Show, and I got all this money.
Like, I got a commercial deal from the Tonight Show
and I got like this tour that paid me like,
like 2000 a week.
All of a sudden in my head, I'm rich.
And I took all that money and I went to this doctor
that I saw on Oprah and he would fix people's teeth.
Wow. Right?
So like people, they would tell their story
about their teeth and then this doctor,
his name was Dr. Madaghi.
And Oprah was giving away teeth, like, giving away teeth like, you get a tooth.
You get a tooth.
He goes, what kind of, what color teeth do you want?
I go, the same one Clint has.
That's what's wrong.
Yeah.
Whatever Clint has in his mouth, give it to me.
And then he goes, do you want his mustache?
I go, give me his mustache too.
Give me the Clint Randall.
Yeah.
Oh, man, can't wait to see you.
June 4th. My mom's birthday is June 1st, can't wait to see you. June 4th.
My mum's birthday's June 5th.
It's my husband's birthday, June 4th.
So we'll be...
Oh, we'll all be there cheering you on, man.
Back to back to back.
It's a good day.
It's a good day.
Joe and Corey, make sure you get tickets June 4th.
Spa Arena's going to be a hell of a good time
and enjoy our country while you're here celebrating the birthday.
We've got to have drinks, haven't we?
Oh, yeah.
Slick us a text.
Let us know what bar we're meeting up at, Joe.
You can see the teeth in person.
Let's go.
See the teeth in person.
You can touch them.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, that won't be weird.
I'll let you touch mine.
If you let me touch yours.
We're still talking about teeth.
Okay, done.
Done, done.
Let's touch each other's teeth, Clint.
Bye.
See you, mate.
See you, mate.
Bye, guys.
Things got weird there, didn't they?
Yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
The NRL is kicking off tonight.
There's a couple of games going on tonight.
Actually, it's the Magic Round.
So they're all being played at the exact same stadium, Suncorp.
A couple of games tonight, 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock.
And then the Warriors tomorrow night, 7.30,
against an actually in-form Cowboys team. games tonight, 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock. And then the Warriors tomorrow night, 7.30 against a
actually in-form Cowboys team.
Warriors currently sitting
second equal
but technically fourth on points difference.
Can they hold a top four spot after
this weekend?
I mean, traditionally,
if you go on previous years,
no.
They always choke.
Yeah, but I don't know what it is.
We've got so many starters out,
and yet the boys are still winning.
So I'm like, let's go.
Come on.
It's our year.
Meg.
Yes, darling?
I was like, how do I get Meg?
I've got a piece of paper in front of me.
It's upside down, though.
Yeah, how do I get Meg to care about the NRL?
I need to introduce you to what I think
are the top five hottest players currently running around
on the pitch in 2025.
So they'll be on there this weekend?
Yep, they will be.
They will be.
So me can tune in and keep an eye out for these guys.
Okay, coming in at number one,
I don't love the photo that our weeb Gilbella has chosen,
but I've got Jesse Arthurs at number one,
the hottest player currently running
around in the NRL.
Is he the one in the Speedos?
Is that all three at the top?
Oh, that's my number two, Herbie Farnworth,
plays for the Dolphins. He's the one...
The Speedos one, that's a terrible photo of him, Clint.
Oh, Meg.
You know I'm a face girl.
That's all bod.
Well, I think Jesse Arthur's put a number one
as more of like a three-quarter guy.
Like he looks good on the three-quarter angle.
Not a side angle, but not directly like, you know, straight on either.
Who's this one?
Who's this one?
Oh, that one.
That's Joey Manu.
Joey Manu I've got at number five.
Okay, that one is Tamari Martin.
He plays for the Warriors.
I've got him at number three.
He is a bloody great looking guy.
And Jordan Riki.
Who's that one?
That's Jordan.
Look at the arms on him.
Jordan.
Jordan's your number one?
If you want to see these guys,
you can just text,
I think,
is it Insta?
To 3343
or go on to the
Edge Breakfast Instagram anyway
and they're on our story
so you can see them in person.
Yeah,
yeah,
that'd be very helpful.
So is this guy and this guy the same guy?
No, different guys.
Oh, which one?
So Jordan and who?
So there's Jordan and Joey.
Yeah.
So they're different guys.
So you'll have to watch two different games
unless they're both playing each other.
But yeah, you can see those two guys just running around,
scoring tries, getting wet hair and stuff.
I'm surprised this guy's coming for you.
Who's this?
That's Jesse Arthurs.
He's number one.
He's number one?
I just think we've done him dirty on the photo.
Bella Hennessy's waffled out.
I'm going to cop so much black
for this top five hot NRL list
because of her pic.
He does, I will say this,
rock quite a gorgeous moustache.
It's the moustache I would love.
Just a terrible photo of her, I'm guessing.
That guy a year ago had short hair, no moustache.
The glow up he's had since growing his hair out
and letting the moustache take shape.
How long did this list take you, Cliff?
I probably curated this.
We were here until 11.30 yesterday morning,
so about two and a half hours.
Oh, it was an hour, maybe.
I wanted to take it seriously and make sure the list was good
because there are a lot of hot
NRL lists out there, but I feel this one's pretty
on the money. You've got to take Joey Mano off.
He doesn't play in the NRL anymore.
Has he left?
I don't think I've seen him running around for the Roosters this year,
but I was like, I don't really follow the Roosters.
He can still be hot, though. Roxanne,
have you seen Clint's list?
Do you agree with it, disagree?
No, not at all.
I can name three hot ones right now.
Okay, name them.
Brendan Nicora, Tommy Teller, and Wade Egan.
Wade Egan.
Yeah, Wade Egan.
It's a little rough around the edges.
If you like a bad boy, you play some Warriors.
There's different types and stuff,
but is Clint looking with the male gaze versus the female gaze?
Well, he's a straight guy, so...
Oh, yeah, I can see what you're seeing, Wade Egg,
and he looks like he's...
He's like a blokey kind of looking dude.
Yeah, your head's stuck up for you in a fight, Wade.
Yeah.
Quickly, so I didn't like League either.
My partner made me join the NRL fantasy,
and now, I tell you what, I'm so competitive in that,
and I will swap out players if I'm not playing,
and now I watch League every weekend just so I can beat them.
Get in, Roxanne.
How good is that, man?
You just got hotter.
Thank you.
Do you think, now that you're playing the Fantasy,
do you think it's the Warriors' year this year, Roxanne?
I'm pretty impressed that they're fourth, so that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Mel's like, no to Jordan Ricci.
What?
Which one's Jordan? Which one? Point him out again. Jordan Mel's like, no to Jordan Rickey? What? Which one's Jordan?
Which one?
Point him out again.
Jordan is on your...
No, yes to Jordan.
Oh, yes to Jordan.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The black and white one.
Mel, I was about to have words with you about going to Speak Savers.
The glistening biceps.
Jordan Rickey.
Hey, Clint, Joey Mann, who doesn't play league at the moment.
Is that this one?
Is this my favourite?
Yeah, it's your favourite one.
I'm not going to watch.
Oh, bugger.
Yeah, maybe he's modelling for Calvin Klein now or something.
No, he went overseas to play rugby.
Oh, he's in rugby now.
He's changed codes.
Rhys Walsh, who's that?
That's somebody else that sticks in.
Paul Gallen?
Paul Gallen, no.
Rhys Walsh, you spoke of the Warriors.
He plays with Broncos now.
Yeah, he does make a lot of people's top five.
Not my cup of tea.
No offence, Reece.
I think you're an incredible player.
Oh, he's got pretty eyes.
He's got really pretty eyes.
What do you think's on Jarrod Hayne?
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
God, isn't this amazing?
Imagine if we did this with women.
We could.
No, I just...
You could.
I could.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
Oh my gosh.
We are putting together a band, the three of us, MCDC.
Meg and Clint, Dan and Clint.
It was my suggestion, obviously.
Meg pulled it out of the hat.
Don't keep saying that I pulled that out of the hat.
It was your suggestion.
I'm just saying you had something to do with it.
Let's stop talking down the name.
It's our name now.
Let's just lean into it. Did you see that? We had a to do with it. Let's stop talking down the name. It's our name now. Let's just lean into it, okay?
Even the vice, did you see that?
Where you had a vote on our Instagram?
Even our boss voted that it was a crap name.
Meg.
He thought it was anonymous.
I would be, I was open to no direction.
Yeah.
But none of you.
Why didn't you put it in the hat?
No, you were vibing it, I didn't think, so.
You thought MCDC was better.
And here we are.
Here we are.
We've got to own it now.
Okay, we are looking for a gig.
If you've got a gig,
I would say three to four weeks
at least from now
for us to get up to speed.
Okay, our producer Nipia,
who actually plays in a band,
just pointed up like longer, longer.
Maybe sex, maybe sex.
I think we can do it in three weeks.
We can get it to a position
where we can play it live.
Any song.
Okay, now we're still looking
for a gig
so we're taking
suggestions behind
the scenes for that
you can just text
3343
let us know what
your gig is
and we might go
oh my god
that's the gig
it'll speak to us
do we have to do
like an ACDC song
like Thunderstruck
no
no I don't think
we do something
crusty and old
like that
I think we do
something
just a name
band name is
crusty and old
yeah
she keeps hating on it Clint she just needs like that. I think we do something... Just the name, band name is Krusty and Old. Yeah.
She keeps hating on it, Clint.
She just needs to move on.
I think though... Isn't it bad luck
for a band to change their name?
Probably.
Well, She Hard,
remember the band She Hard?
Oh, yeah,
we did Pacifier.
Pacifier for a while
and then they went back.
Okay, well that teaches me
a lesson, doesn't it?
Regretted it.
We've got a few suggestions already
of what people would like
to see us start practicing
so we can perform in our first gig.
I love this.
Has it got a tambourine in it?
Oh, that could be Bella.
Oh yeah, we've got Bella. Although maybe a waste
because she's quite the pianist.
I'm more than happy to give up the guitar for a tambourine.
Yeah, that wouldn't be bad.
It's much easier.
A couple of other suggestions.
That's your part of guitar for you guys.
Yeah.
And drums, to be honest.
What about this suggestion?
What about that band where the singer sounds kind of like Dan when he sings?
Oh, The Offspring.
Is that what they mean? Yeah. Oh, The Offspring. Is that what they mean?
Yeah.
Oh, I think so.
Someone just suggested I've never said that I sound like this guy.
I said, yeah, I think we were like, you do.
You sound just like him when you sing.
He's a very good singer.
Come on, sing along.
Wow.
I mean...
I could do this on drums, maybe.
We could do The Offspring.
Okay.
I think it's a front-runner at the moment.
I think we should do a song at least that The Edge would play.
You know?
We'd never play ACDC.
I don't know if we'd even play The Offspring, to be honest.
Someone's texted, this reminds me of American Pie.
I don't think we've ever played that.
Nah, probably a bit too much of a throwback, that one.
We definitely did this one.
Ooh, yeah.
Black Peas. This would be cool if we could do this.
No way.
You can't?
No, I'm sorry, boys.
I'm vetoing this.
I can't.
I'm listening in the background.
There's no way.
To be honest, I think the Black Keys are quite a technically good band.
Yeah.
That's something we're not.
Oh, Stacey said Teenage Dirtbag.
Oh, Teenage Dirtbag are going to the mix. Just a Teenage Dirtbag. Oh, Teenage Dirtbag. Oh, I like Teenage Dirtbag.
I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby.
Now, that's more my speed.
Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag.
Still quite heavy on guitar.
And drums.
Don't know, don't know.
Okay.
All right, maybe we can start breaking down some of these songs.
We'll get Producer Neib said, and maybe we'll pick our top three.
He can let us know what we like and where our ability lies,
because I think they're both important when you
find one. If they're a Venn diagram,
somewhere in the middle. Ability
versus, you know, popularity.
Yeah, I think we need to choose something that we know we're going to
be able to at least get to a point where we can perform
it live. Okay, if you've got a suggestion, 3343
0800 The Edge, MCDC.
We're putting together a band, the three of us,
just to see how far three friends
without any musical ability can get if they've always had a dream to be in a band. I mean, we're putting together a band, the three of us, just to see how far three friends without any musical ability
can get if they've always had a dream
to be in a band. I mean, we're yet
to have our first band practice or anything like that.
Hopefully we'll get to that at some point next week.
But, look,
the most important thing is the
name of the band and the song we're singing.
Well, one of them's shit already, so let's
make sure it's a good song.
Okay. Right, we've got some suggestions coming through.
Let's go to Alicia.
Alicia, what song do you think we should attempt to play?
I think it should be Stacey's Mum.
Stacey's Mum.
Here's the thing, we had Rachel Hunter in who was in the video clip of that just earlier this year.
We're mates with Rach now.
We are.
We could be there.
She could be dancing.
Do a re-do.
You did say something
that we've probably played
on the YouTube before, Megan.
I'm just having a look.
We have played it, surely.
It doesn't look like
it's been in our system.
I've probably played it
off YouTube,
which is probably a bit naughty,
I think.
Another one that has been suggested
is a different song
of The Offspring.
Oh, yeah, that's Brenda.
Morning, Brenda. Morning, yeah, that's Brenda. Morning, Brenda.
Morning, how are you?
Good.
Now, why would you suggest The Offspring?
Because I feel like that's a bit of a left field one.
Well, why be in your comfort zone?
Go out of your comfort zone, guys.
This could work in the background.
Turn this up, could it?
When you sang that Offspring song just now,
you rocked it.
Yeah.
You absolutely rocked it.
The thing is,
Brenda,
it gets really high
in the chorus.
Like, very, very high.
It goes like...
You could have,
you could have
clicky-yazzed it
for BBs or something.
I'm trying to think.
There's also one more problem
with Offspring.
I was having a little
scrub through the song. There's an instrument that none of usspring I was having a little scrub through the song
There's an instrument
that none of us
I don't think
can cover
What's that?
Ready?
I'm doing trumpet
Oh trumpet
Bugger
I'm doing trumpet
Maybe we can get
Sian from Drax Project
to come and be a special guest
He's a great trumpet player
No he plays the sax
Oh bugger.
Yes.
Some keyboards,
you can change
the piano sound
to trumpet.
Oh, can you?
Yes.
That's good.
And some of them,
you can just press demo
and it will play
the whole tune.
I thought,
I'm sure Sian would be able
to just have a fiddle
with a trumpet.
Okay, and then there was
Teenage Dirtbag
that was suggested.
Yeah, Cara suggested that.
Morning, Cara.
Cara, don't hate the suggestion.
I actually kind of love it.
You there, Cara?
Hello.
Hello.
Yeah.
Hello.
So Teenage Dirtbag is your suggestion?
Yeah, or Element OP Verona.
Oh, but a key music as well.
There is a high bit in Teenage Dirtbag.
I don't know if we should be worried about this, Dan,
if one of us is going to have to sing.
Oh, it's me.
It's a girl.
But it's a guy pretending to be a girl.
Yeah, but I get one little bit,
and the drum's not even playing here, so I could do it.
Just the promise we need to sing it in tune, Clint.
It's talking.
I can talk in tune.
Okay, go.
Do that.
I'm just, I'm just.
Oh, wait.
What's the lyric?
I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden.
I don't know when a guy does it.
Well, Meg's right, though.
There's no drums in that part.
So she'll have nothing to do.
True.
So she could do this.
I'm distracted.
I could do this.
Maybe we hold auditions next week for this part,
if this is the song.
No, no, this would just be my part.
God, imagine if Meg loses the girl part to a guy.
Hey, you know what, Dan?
I don't hate the ending guitar-wise either.
What a winner.
Freddie said that sounded really good, Meg.
You know what, Cara?
I think it's the front runner.
We need to produce an EP here.
Yeah.
Is that possible?
I honestly think that that's pretty doable.
There are some hard parts in the song,
especially for the guitars,
and then that verse drum beat's really hard as well.
But I genuinely think we can do that one.
Okay, we are making a rash decision live.
I still wonder whether we just think on it for a bit
or do we just lead and go.
Rock and roll.
I'm sick of thinking.
This is man life, baby.
Look what happened.
We thought about the name.
Shit.
Let's just do the song.
Okay.
Lock it in.
We're doing teenage fan base, baby.
Thank you, Cara, for your suggestion.
It will be our first song, babe.
Awesome.
If it sucks, we realize it's really hard.
We're going to be calling you,
pestering you,
you're going to want to block our number.
Now, do we have a teenage kid
that's got a birthday
that we can play it at?
Dude, he's going from 12 to 13
and he's a bit of a shitbag.
You know, he's getting in trouble
at school a lot.
Yeah.
Alright, we'll work out
the details behind the scenes.
Sorry to the person
who suggested this one,
it's still a hell of a song.
I wish I could do this one. Yeah, sell it with your line on it. It could be our second song. Clint, Meg person who suggested this one. Still a hell of a song. I wish I could do this one.
Yeah, sell me a wine or a beer.
Clint, Meg and Dan. Scandal with Meg.
Thanks to La Quinta Parnell
and Bury New Hotel in the heart of Auckland City.
We're comforted at Venture Collide. Book your stay
today at La Quinta Parnell. Love them.
Don't go to NZ. Love them to bits.
Do you know what? Yeah, they did.
I feel like I'd be able to endorse the hotel more
if I actually had a personal connection with it.
Or if I had stayed and then I can come back
and tell people how it was.
Maybe we could go for a little staycation, the three of us.
Or we could go with our partners separately.
Mmm.
Yeah.
Doesn't sound as funny.
I'm in a bubble bath with Dan in the same room.
Doesn't sort of hit the same.
Again.
Yeah, Benny Blanco has talked about what you need to do
if you honestly, seriously, seriously want to find love
and are ready to settle down,
you've got to have some harsh truths with yourself
and look in the mirror.
And this is what he said he had to do.
If you are ready, and you have to be really ready
to find the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with,
you have to cut off everything that you know is bad for you.
You know what's bad for you.
You know what's good for you.
You know what's bad for you.
That's bad for you.
You cut it out.
You make a list.
What if the girl that you want to date is into the bad things you're into?
Well, then it's probably going to be maybe toxic because you shouldn't be doing those bad things.
Yeah.
What bad stuff are you talking about, Clint, out of interest?
I don't know.
I haven't got anything in mind specifically.
Are you and Jamie into similar bad stuff?
Well, if I'm into bad stuff, I want my wife to be into it as well.
Otherwise, it's bad.
But otherwise, if she does it, then it's a common interest.
I mean, you and Jamie don't do meth, do you?
No.
No, right.
So that just isn't an example.
Together or separately.
They do meth, though.
They do a lot of meth.
Oh, my son, he loves math.
So cut out all the bad things,
the toxic things that are holding you back.
And then he said, write a list.
And this is what he wrote down before he dated Selena.
My list was very simple.
I needed someone in my age bracket.
I wanted someone who was kind.
I wanted someone who was caring.
I wanted someone who was compassionate.
I wanted someone who did anything. I didn't care.
Like just be obsessed with anything you want to do in your life. If this person made olives,
I want you to make olives every day and come home and tell me about the olives and how passionate
you are about them. And I'm going to love it because you love it. I just wanted someone who
knew how to not only love themselves but love somebody else.
And I met that person.
I like what he,
I know exactly what he means.
It's like if somebody has,
it doesn't matter in theory
how boring it is to you
if you don't get it,
but you feed off
that person's passion
in what they do
because they enjoy
what they're doing.
Weird though,
because I listened to a podcast
where it was like
a relationship expert
and they were talking about
how bad the list is
because we go around and be like, no, and they were talking about how bad the list is because we go around
and be like no, I've
got standards and this is the list and I want to find
someone who ticks it all but she's like
you won't find anybody that ticks
this big long extensive list that a lot of people have
and some people will actually over
time mould and change
in that relationship
and maybe ticking off 7 out of 10 is the best
that you can ask for.
But his list was literally
just in my age bracket
and kind, basically.
But she has to be into olives.
No, no.
Oh, I think you've
got confused there.
And being as naughty
as Clint in the bedroom.
Yeah, yeah.
Clint's very confused.
I agree with you.
If you've got a list
and they're like,
they've got to be
within this certain age
and they've got to have
this much money
and they've got to have
lived this way
and they've got to have
travelled and they've got to have done this. But if you got to have lived this way and they've got to have travelled and they've got
to have done this
but if you're looking
for somebody who's like
kind, a nice person
has some sort of passion
in their life
of a hobby or a job
then I think
that's pretty standard.
I don't like olives though.
Okay again
Neither.
Pipped or not pipped.
Both of you
have like
completely like
missed the message.
I just think it was
a bad example of
Yeah. Right. Boring and quite the message. I just think it was a bad example of Yeah.
Right.
Boring and quite yuck.
I think actually
if I was
dating a chick
and I found out
she was obsessed
with olives
that'd be almost
like a red flag.
I'd be like
that's such a weird thing
to be passionate
and obsessed about.
Whenever someone
eats an olive in front of me
I'm like yuck.
Clint, Meg and Dan.
DJ Sean Hill
live in the mix
even with the request
Teenage Dirtbag.
He's a grip pleaser.
I did not know
how to mix into that one.
But it's okay.
Seamless, Sean.
Seamless.
Seamless, yeah.
Do you guys need a DJ
in your band?
Hey, well actually
that's not a bad idea.
There actually is some
record scratching
in that song.
Have you ever heard
it goes wiki wiki
at the start?
You might need to come
you don't know
what you've just done. You might actually need to come on stage just for that part. Yeah. Have you ever heard us go wicked wicked wicked at the start? You don't know what you've just done.
You might actually need
to come on stage
just for that part.
Just sit in the corner
and just scratch.
Nothing else.
Don't play anything.
But Sean you're not
just a talented DJ.
Also you are a person
that looks fantastic
in glasses.
Thank you.
And you're also someone
that does stand up comedy.
Yes.
Not only am I a great DJ
I am subpar
at stand up comedy. And that's all you need to be. Yes, I am. Not only am I a great DJ, I am subpar at stand-up comedy.
And that's all you need to be.
Man.
I think,
I don't know.
I was going to say,
a lot of the great comedians
aren't very good looking.
I feel like you're too good looking
to be like really funny
because a lot of people
make fun of themselves
and what they look like
but then you can't do that.
Is this your excuse
for never trying stand-up, Clint?
Yeah, he can't.
He looks in the mirror
and he's like,
I'm way too hot to be funny.
Nobody would ever think I'm hilarious.
You're right, though. I can't think of, like, a
hot comedian. Oh, who's that
guy that got all that work done and got the, like, jaw
Oh, Matt Rife. There we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he's hot. Yeah, he's pretty hot, isn't he?
Didn't he have a minute bit that went viral of him
just taking his belt off with one hand? Yes.
But I feel like he's gone
viral because he's hot,
not necessarily because he's super funny.
Oh, so you've got to be like one end of the spectrum or the other.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, true.
So tell us about your show, bro.
Hey, thanks so much, guys.
It's my first show in the New Zealand Comedy Festival.
It's next week, Wednesday to Saturday.
It's called Digin' On My DJ.
If you want to get tickets, you can text comedy to 3343.
I'll fire you the link.
They're only 20 bucks because I really want it to sell out and I picked a small theatre
as well because I wanted it
to be like a really
a really great show
a real intimate vibe
it's something that I
wanted to do for so long
I think stand up
has like been my biggest love
for most of my life
and I was always
way too scared to do it
and eventually
a couple years ago
a friend pushed me into it
and was like give it a go
and if you fail
like at least you'll have
tried it
I like that
and I found this love
for this thing
that like I just kind of became obsessed tried it. I like that. I found this love for this thing that I
just kind of became obsessed with it.
I've lost so much
money doing stand-up gigs over DJ
gigs in the last two
years, but I've loved it so much.
It's been soul-destroying trying
to build an hour, trying to get an hour
of good comedy. An hour? Wow.
You need to have three hours of failed
comedy to get... Oh, God, yes. At least three hours, I like three hours of failed comedy to get.
Oh,
God,
yes,
at least three hours
I'd say.
an hour is so long.
Have you figured out
a way to do DJing
and stand up?
Like,
could you go to a place
like Long Room
and do a song,
like play some bangers
and then just do
a couple of jokes
in between?
Imagine that,
it's like 11.30pm
and he's like,
hey guys,
so I was hanging out
with my sister yesterday
and we're like,
shut up
and play Wagon Wheel.
A jog doesn't go well but then just crank T-Pain.
It's like the sport chess boxing.
Have you heard of that?
It's like you do a round of chess and then do a boxing round.
And it's kind of like the juxtaposition of it.
No, but yeah, it is called Diginorma DJ.
It's got DJ elements.
It's got a full DJ set up there.
I'll start off the show DJing.
It's got tracks I've produced for it.
But then it's a lot of jokes that I've worked really hard on, lot of good stories and i genuinely am super proud of it i think it's very
very funny i did like a work in progress the other day which is where i tried about 40 minutes of the
show yeah and uh and not to brag it went very well so come along it'll be funny it's almost
very unkiwi to shout yourself out but i really i i actually genuinely think it's cool when someone
actually backs himself
and their ability
to do something
and says I'm actually
really good at it
so cool man
I really
yeah that's awesome
