This is a podcast from Rover.
Not your mum's podcast, unless she's into absolute filth, in which case.
Respect.
This is Clint Meg and Dan's only fans.
Podcast, that is.
Welcome to The Overthinkers podcast with your host Clint Meg and Dan.
We are fresh off the back of a chat, an interview with one of Dan's idols.
Liam Lawson came into the studio.
Surprised me.
You guys knew about it.
God, you're good.
New Zealand Formula One driver.
Very exciting.
and it's so funny that you even brought up the fact Clint
that we normally prank people on the show with their fake people
but have you been prank with anyone before Clint
Jim Carrey would be the only one we could prank him with
No you got your cool running sky did you get Jeff Probst
For real yep but you're not a big interview person like me you are
You love chatting to people
I've really changed my mindset about it used to hate them
And now I've like really kind of almost like
What's that therapy that you're just like
you expose exposure therapy.
I've been just like, just do it, just do it.
Whereas Clint, I think the only person for you
would really be like Jim Carrey.
Well, I think you've done Jeff Probes.
Yeah, you'd love Jim.
Yeah, I don't know why we even got him.
That was like a JJ Dom era.
That was just for you, right?
And they pretty much got him
and then we're like, we're going to leave you to it.
It wasn't live on here, and I just spoke to him for 20 minutes.
It was that my dream, but it was no one else's dream.
So they all just like walked away.
Surprising, or maybe not, that I could get 20 minutes with my idol.
Yeah, you don't get 20 with many.
Oh, God, I've never even heard.
of this country in my life.
The country eliminated from the competition
is North Macedonia. Macedonia?
That's racist. Is it? Yeah, one of the
beautiful... Where's South Macedonia?
Next to it.
It's below. It's below.
It's just below. Is there a south? Is that east and west
or is it just north? No, that isn't a country. I don't think
I have heard of it, but if you
told me to point it out on a map, you'd be gutted.
Although I am, I couldn't hardly even point out anywhere in
Europe on a map. I couldn't
point out... Country in the Balkans.
Poland's
near Germany.
Well, Macedonia, it's next to Kosovo, Albania, Greece.
Greece.
Oh, it's just above Greece.
Wow.
Well, it doesn't look like there's a South Macedonia
because South Macedonia is Greece.
How many did you say you're listening here?
That's a bot.
That's a pop.
If you do want to go to North Macedonia, though,
$3,275 to get there.
That is a box.
I actually got a message from Kassara this morning,
who we talked about in the podcast yesterday,
because we said we wonder what they talked about in the car once we left,
if you remember yesterday's podcast.
She said that what happened when we left is that her husband just took the piss out of her the whole way home.
So if you didn't listen to yesterday's podcast, Meg and I went out for dinner.
An unplanned dinner with two, one listener called Cassara.
Cassara and her husband, who does not listen, didn't know who the fuck we were.
We had an impromptu ramen.
They had some meat and some tacos.
and then they offered to take us back to our accommodation
where we're staying in Christchurch.
Lovely, lovely people.
But I, yeah, so that's all they did.
Just took the piss.
He took the piss out of her for fan-girling,
and then they both cringed a little bit, I think,
about the fact that they had a dog crate in the back.
I didn't think she did fan girl, really.
No, not at all.
I wouldn't say that she was fangirling.
Fan-gurling's like someone's like,
oh my God, I can't believe him.
She didn't do that at all.
Yeah.
She was just nice.
Yeah.
Oh, how nice.
We loved it.
We loved it.
Really nice.
Oh, really.
So unbelievably.
Dan just winked to me Cassandra.
So, Cassara.
So, come on, Cliff.
That's why they didn't want you.
It's actually, to the point that me and Dan
afterwards, thank God Clint was in there
because he would have just been talking about how pretty she was the whole time.
She's so beautiful.
I didn't notice.
Oh, piss off, I know you did.
I don't know.
Oh, piss off I know you did.
I've only got eyes for one woman.
Cassara.
No.
She is.
I actually, she left the table and I said to her husband,
and I was like, damn, she's a stone cold fox.
And he was like, who?
I'm like, your wife?
You fuck.
He was like, where?
Which girl have you seen?
I suppose.
It's kind of like if you probably
Maybe if you live next to the Eiffel Tower
After a while you're like
I yeah, I actually reckon
If we're ever in Dunedin
Yeah
We'd have somewhere to stay
I reckon if I
Yeah, maybe even you Clint
If we message Casarra
And we're like
Oh I've got to bed for the night
That definitely put us up
And I feel I'd feel normal there
I wouldn't feel like I was gonna get
It'd put you up
Don't make it weird
See this is exactly what I was going to
We said on the night
He will make it sexual
It would make a sexual.
Yeah.
Fucking out.
Your one's saying they had meat and tacos and all these other new windows.
They had meat and tacos.
Yeah, and I had a bite.
Did you?
Did you have any tacos when they dropped you off?
She offered me her taco.
She offered me her taco and had too much meat in it.
So I said no.
I turned down her taco.
Because I said, this right's close.
Okay, enough.
Talking about Kasara, my God, two podcasts for her, should be gushy.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
Speaking of gushing, I'm so sorry.
Where comes a weird segue?
Yeah.
No, my husband sent me this idea off here,
and you guys thought it was quite fun.
We were thinking, I'll give you some time
but to do a romantic fiction,
but a very rated version,
and just to run it for the podcast.
Or improv.
No, no, no, no.
Write it properly.
Yeah.
And then maybe, could I give you to Friday?
Yeah.
It's Tuesday today?
If we on Friday do the R-A-team romantic fiction
and we'll do a teaser,
or not a teaser on here,
we'll just push it on here.
But you can only,
it should be a password.
but it should be locked for R-18 only.
Okay, let's do that.
Okay.
So anything goes.
Anything goes.
Clint, you know what he's like.
Whatever.
You're the one who gets carried away with the freedom.
Yep.
To be sexual.
So the R-A-teen version of romantic fiction
that cannot at all, at all, touch the radio or go near it,
will be on the podcast on Friday.
If I write one where the woman's, um,
who ha queefs the national anthem, is that...
Quiv, quiv, quiv, quiv, quiv, quiv.
I was thinking the Australian one.
Quiv, quiv, quiv, quiv, quiv.
Wow.
Look forward to that, everybody, on Friday.
No, I won't do that one.
Okay.
That's just a little bit of a spitball there.
A little spitball.
No, in all seriousness.
Yeah.
What have you got, Clint?
How do we feel about bringing back an old idea
that we hadn't actually executed,
you know, we say a lot of shit on the air,
a few loose ends kind of left behind.
Sometimes you go off the boil
because you're just not really vibing it
as much the next day or the next week.
But then sometimes we genuinely just forget about it.
Remember we talked about seeing if AI
that turned this guy who,
he's a comedian, he must be able to sing somewhat.
I don't know how well,
but he put his voice through AI
and created one of the greatest renditions
of lightning crashes.
I'd ever heard.
He's named the Professor.
And he's on social media and stuff.
And he's got an album, which makes me think,
did he just go into the studio,
sang some songs, put it through AI,
and he was like, holy shit, I sound phenomenal,
and then release the album.
I guess the only way to find out is either A.
get him on, or B, go and get Meg to sing
one of her favorite songs,
and then we put it through AI
and see the difference in terms of somebody's natural talent
and then their AI polished up version.
Is Carl, can hear me?
because I feel like we've done this before with Autotune
is there something that's more powerful than Autotune?
Like is AI...
Oh God, yes.
Do you have access to it?
Well, yeah, I mean, like, AI is incredible.
I can do amazing things and, like, generate images and videos.
And, you know, it fools people all the time.
But this, I'm not sure.
I do worry that it's met its match.
I mean, it can chuck a choir in behind her.
No, I know.
I've actually...
I knew you guys were going to talk about this on the podcast,
So I called Elon Musk and the guy that runs ChatGPT,
and I've warned them this service.
Here's a little idea.
Could we access this right now?
Meg, get up some lyrics of your favourite song.
And then just sing it a cappella.
And let's just see, this is not the final thing.
But let's see, just quickly put it through AI.
Okay, cool.
And just see what it splits out.
Because we can do that, right?
We've got a program called Suno, and I reckon we might be actually.
I'll give it a go.
I don't do it with a backing track.
No, just do it yourself.
Okay.
And don't choose the song you'd actually choose
because that would be a nice little,
tease for Friday because I'd like to have a surprise
I've got a song that I want it to be my song
but do you want me to show a different one
do a different one
because then we still have a surprise for Friday
sing it the best you can
and this will just be the quick version
to see if it's even remotely possible
okay I'll do an easier song
I'll do easier than what I've picked
okay so this is I'm just going to start singing it
good
good
any minute
she looks she looks
she's lost the key
She's really concerned.
She's like, where the fuck did they leave the key?
That's not the lurks.
She thought she'd put heading the key.
And here it comes.
There we go. Now.
Looks like we've made it.
Look how far we've come, my baby.
We might have took the long way.
We know we get there someday.
They said, I bet.
They'll never make it.
But just look.
look at us holding on.
We're still together.
Still going strong.
You still want to run to.
It's enough?
Oh, you sort of stop with the chorus, but I think, yeah.
Okay, I'll do it.
I can do it.
No, no, no, no, that's enough.
Now, Carl, he's working on that now.
He's going to put it into, how long do you think it's going to take a couple of hours?
It's going to be that.
It's it going to be that funny because I don't think that was that off.
It was not.
You changed keys three times that I could count.
I was very pleasantly surprised.
But then again, I do genuinely think your voice is shocking.
You know, and I mean that with the most love and respect.
How?
Because Meg knows that I respect her in other ways.
She's a, you know, I think she's a very talented broadcaster.
I think she's a good friend.
But she's just a fucking terrible singer.
And I think genuinely, you know, so me.
It's so true.
It's the wrong-shaped mouth.
It's not my fault.
No, I don't think it's your mouth.
It's a lot to do with your throat and your vocal cords.
Something's gone wrong in the making of me.
And you would want me to be honest with you.
I know.
I feel like if you think of Whitney Houston's mouth, big mouth.
Me, no.
Yeah.
Whitney Houston had it for you.
You've got other talents.
Yeah.
Good on you.
Okay, so, I mean, it's probably not one of those things.
I don't know.
Petrusicaa or Podgisinaeepia that you can put through AI in like 30 seconds.
No, it's not a 30 seconds.
second job.
They've just
unleashed another valve
on the hydrod dam.
Pause the pod.
Let's pause it rather than just
like a shit talking and padding.
Released another valve on the hydrodron dam.
You fuck off, Carl.
It's going
Whee-
Okay, can we get another
flux capacitor?
Just to speed up the process.
Okay, we'll come back
with the AI
upgraded version of Meg's
Chenaya Twain, still the one.
Oh, is that what it was, Shanaeer Twain?
Oh, okay.
What are you going?
All right, I have the results.
Okay, I am on the edge of my seat
to see if I am finally...
I mean, I've got the looks.
I've got the talent, I've got the dance moves,
I'm just missing the voice for a pop singer.
I think your bum is pretty much all on the seat, I can see.
Got the bod, got everything I need.
Zara Larsson, watch the fuck out.
AI spent 45 seconds.
Seconds whipping this up.
There we go, here we go.
You ready?
Dad, are you maybe not going to be...
Looks like we've made a...
Look how far...
That's not big.
That's not big.
That's not big.
That's completely changed her voice.
We do we get there.
Something that said, I beg.
That sounds just like that.
They'll never make it, but just look out.
It's holding on.
Well, it can be Meg, is the
changing the arrangement.
The people that we've...
That sounds just like me.
But AI doesn't.
But the AI...
The thing is, it changes it completely, doesn't it?
Okay, well, I've got another version.
This one might sound more like Meg.
I know you put it through for another 45 seconds.
Let's see.
Looks like we've made it.
It's man.
Look how far we've come.
I hear more of Megan this voice
Ironical than the other year
Hey the first one again
There's an essence of me
This is me
Just like me
Just like me
Looks like we've made it
Looks like we've made it
Oh it's two different people
Looks like we've made it
It looks like we've made it
It's the same
I hear the dude.
It is quite manly.
Have you got a bit of a source of...
Why don't we...
Okay, why don't we go back to the drawing board and tell AI to...
Keep the voice.
Make it sound as much like Meg's tone and voice as possible whilst elevating it.
Should I do my big song for that?
I think what we do is we go back to the drawing board.
We park this here now.
You go in with Grant, our audio producer, and you do the proper song.
Really practice.
Yeah, I'm going to go on practice.
And then we'll cover...
like you say, Clint will prompt it to keep it as meg as possible with Chir.
Whilst also creating that wow factor.
I think it's got to get confused.
What we do?
Wait, so what?
You want to be shit, but good?
We want you to improve her voice, but we don't want you to change her voice.
No, exactly.
Like the essence of the tone of what is Meg's voice.
So we probably have to use like a premium version, I imagine.
So we'll give it 48 hours instead of 45 seconds.
I think we need the platinum version, so not the premium.
I think it's the one you have to spend like 40 extra dollars a month.
Yeah, whatever it is. We'll pay it.
And then we'll debut at Friday.
You guys will be able to hear the hydro.
Damn.
It's going to be a lot going on on Friday.
We're going to be doing R-18 smutty stories.
Meg's singing and then I've got to drop my guts and guess the far.
Jesus, hell. Okay.
Maybe there's too much.
Maybe we don't do guess the fart.
Don't you fucking dear.
I'll be happy with that.
No.
Okay, we'll see you tomorrow.
So are my nostrils.
