Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. It's Sean and Sof, and for Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. Good morning. Wow, we've got our own intro. That is just the most exciting thing. They put our names on it, which is wild, because Sean and I do Edge Breakfast on the weekends. We do a bottomless brunch.
Starting point is 00:00:17 They don't even put our names in the brunch. It's just brunch on the edge. Every week we come in and we don't know if our swipe card's going to work. But it did work this morning. Emmer in here. Clint Megan Dan, off for the long weekend. they will be back tomorrow. Yeah, so we are taking over.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Sean and Sophie going to be hanging out with you this morning. We hope you've had a lovely long weekend. If you are driving back this morning, some crazy cool story in the news. So far, like our best Easter weekend ever on the road. So if you are driving back, stay safe. We will keep you entertained in a safe way. Yeah, don't ruin the toll for the rest of us.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Yeah, how dare you? Also, safety first for you. Me? No, for the person on the road who's listening. Also for me, I should really wear a helmet at all times. Yeah, you are very prone to walking into doorways and such On a Scandinavian long weekend, as I like to call it Why?
Starting point is 00:01:08 Because a lot of these Scandinavian countries already do a four-day working week, you know? So in order for it to be a long weekend for them would have to be... This is very early for us and we're really getting international already. The coffee ketchup coming up next. We've got your chance to win a whole bunch of cash with double or drop after eight. It's Clint Meg and Dan. Theat Breakfast. It's Sean and Sophie here filling in for Clint Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:01:29 and the guys are back tomorrow. Morena, yeah, just looking after you on your Tuesday after a long weekend. It's a good time. It's a Tuesday, isn't it? Yes, it is. All morning, I've thought it's a Monday. Well, welcome. Welcome to the Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Granted, I've been awake for all of 45 minutes. I love that you're already playing this music. This is, you're going to get in trouble. Oh yeah, it's time for the coffee catch up. This is where Clint Megan Dan will go around the room and catch up about something from the past 24 hours. I thought would be a bit classier today. Go to a little bit of a jazz, a jazz cafe. Well, the funny thing is, when Sean and I used to do the night show together,
Starting point is 00:02:03 we would do the other end of the coffee catch-up. So around 1130, we would catch up on the day. And we started playing this jazz cafe music. And we got a call from our boss going, hey, guys, can you not play like 90-year-old music? And can you play something relevant? You know, we're the edge. So I love that our first chance on breakfast, you're like, you know what I'm going to bring back? Jazz music.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Well, it's not my fault. I'm trying to bring some class and decorum to the station, all right? Okay, Ting Ting, let's have a coffee. What would you like to talk about in the coffee catch-hub? Do you know what I'd like to talk about, how yum Easter eggs are? Oh my God. That's the content you're bringing to the table. Yeah, I know what you're thinking.
Starting point is 00:02:42 What do you mean, Sean? They're just eggs of chocolate. Yes, that is exactly what I'm thinking. Well, so scientifically, Easter eggs are more delicious than regular chocolate. Scientifically, there's science behind it. So, you know, have you ever thought, like, when you're eating an Easter egg, wow, this just tastes a little bit better than a bar of... No, I'll be completely honest.
Starting point is 00:03:02 The only egg that I consider that is mini eggs, but that's because they are not in chocolate form. But why is that? Does science say it's better? Well, yeah, the chocolate egg has a different quality to it to a bar because the egg has to be spun so that the chocolate is thinner. So it needs to be spun for longer than a block of chocolate, which means that it actually mounts a little bit easier in your mouth.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Look, not to be technical on our coffee ketchup, because we are enjoying a bit of jazz. Um, if you're saying the chocolate is spun thinner, isn't, doesn't that just apply to hollow eggs then? Like not... Oh, yes. So, I mean, technically speaking, only hollow eggs are better than regular chocolate eggs?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Yeah, yeah, that's what I was getting at. Do you know what's so funny? You're only a mini eggs. Well, this is what's funny, as we discussed this on Saturday morning, we did our top, as voted by Altaero, best Easter eggs, and it came out on top, lint bunnies. And the first knocked out... Boy, Rich!
Starting point is 00:03:54 The first knocked out of the entire competition was marshmallow eggs, right? And we both laughed how marshmallow eggs suck. Guess what the only chocolate I received over the entire weekend was? Marshmallow eggs. Shout out, Dad, thank you. That means that the Easter money entirely forgot about you. Yes, entirely. And pick them up at the supermarket checkout.
Starting point is 00:04:16 But I did enjoy a Easter egg hunt actually for the first time in maybe like 10 years. I haven't done them in a hot minute. Did you do it with like a bunch of young cousins and siblings? Or just like for you and your brother? Oh, I think the youngest age maybe was 24. So we're a little bit old. And technically it was at, it was at a birthday. So I don't really know if it counts as Easter.
Starting point is 00:04:40 But we decided we went to someone's birthday and their parents had hidden us Easter eggs. It was stunning. That's great. Have you got any left? Is any Easterings made it to Tuesday? Yes, all the marshmallow ones. They're sitting in a bag on.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Would you like one? No, I do not want one. Sean and I thought we would make the most of being on edge breakfast because unlike our shows, edge nights and edge days, breakfast has a budget. Oh yeah. There's a credit card and they can spend money. So if you missed it last week, Meg went and spent $300 on air fresheners of their faces, which iconic, some of the best merch I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But I thought, you know what? We're on for a day. Yeah. How much chaos can we cause with the credit card while they're away? We need to spend some budget. Yeah. That's part of doing a good radio show, is having budget to give things away. I also feel like people dislike change, you know?
Starting point is 00:05:34 So people waking up this morning are waiting for Clint Megan Dan. Look, they're back tomorrow, put up with us for the day. But to incentivise you and entice you and somewhat bribe you... Are we going to get air fresheners? I don't know if we can manage them by the end of the day, but I do know here at work we have a vending machine. We have multiple vending machines, actually. And I thought that every caller that gets on our show this morning can win something from the vending machine.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Every caller wins from the vendo, and all the money will go from Edge Breakfast Budget, not from Sean and myself. Okay, and then we just get out there after the show with the card and just punch through and buy a hundred things from the vending machine. Just beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. We've already got coolers coming through.
Starting point is 00:06:18 All right, Ella, welcome to the show. How are you this morning, Ella? Good, thank you. You are up. Early doors, girl. And to celebrate you listening to the show this morning, you've won something from the vending machine. Wait, wait, how are we going to do this? I think we need to let Ella choose what she gets,
Starting point is 00:06:34 but without really knowing. Do you want to give her a couple numbers? Okay, sure. You can choose between 205 or 402. What number would you like? 4.02. Ella, you are the proud recipient of a Kit Kat chunky. Congratulations Ella, man.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Wow, that's huge. We'll send that out to you. Ella, have a beautiful rest of your morning. Wow, this is off to a flyer. Every callie wins from the vending machine today. I'm going to go out quickly, Sean, and take a picture of the vending machine. And so every caller that comes through will give them two options, one from you, one from me, and they can choose what they win from the vendor.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I know this intends to make us look like we've got things to give away, but does it really give the impression that we don't have a lot to give away? Because we're giving away snacks. No, you know what, we're with it. It's three things, Sean. Yeah, it's true. I'm really looking forward to giving away a cookie time later on, or maybe there's a little lolly party mix in there.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Love that. Clint, Meg, and Dan. The Edge Breakfast. Now, we're doing something that they love to do every Tuesday, and it's actually quite therapeutic. I've jumped in a few times. Sean, you have two. It's called Good Morning to Everyone, but,
Starting point is 00:07:49 where it gets something off your chest. If someone has really, you know, gotten your goat or under your skin, that's the saying, eh, gotten your goat? Yeah. Sure. We'll roll with it. If someone's really... You're famous for just like almost getting a saying right?
Starting point is 00:08:02 I just make them up as I go. I think that is right though. Okay. So you can tell us, good morning to everyone, but... And, you know, we can celebrate that. And then at the end of it, we have a special saying we like to give to them. All right. So I want to kick it off.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, that's. This happened to me over the weekend while I was doing some grocery shopping. This was yesterday. Good morning to everyone, but people who grab the bakery items with their ha'ry. hands. You gremlin, use the tombs. I was so mad. I just wanted a nice little scone and this guy goes past just opens little cabinet door, little finger that's in there, grabs himself a little bun and I just... That's rank, aye. Side eye. The criminal offensive side eye. I just was like, what are you doing? Better if they don't put it back? Yes, to be fair, the man took it, but I just think, no, good morning
Starting point is 00:08:50 to everyone but the people who do that. Yeah, that's reckless. All right, I'm going to have an Easter theme one. Morning to everyone. Except the people who can continue to make those fake chocolate Easter eggs that taste like candles. You know what I mean? Like the ones you get from the wadi-futty and they taste like... Just candles. They just taste like, I don't know how else to describe them. They're waxy.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Probably the best description of like fake chocolate I've ever heard. If you're trying to get them to melt in your mouth, they're probably still in your mouth. Because there's not going to happen. But you can get your text in on 3-343. We've already had some epic text coming through. I really feel for Joseph. This one here. Good morning to everyone, but my relief milker who cancelled on me late last night while I was at my mate's party.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I'm now milking cows this early with a really bad hangover. Oh, that is no good. A, no one wants a hangover when you have to work. B, milking cows too. That's rough. Yeah, with a hangover. Although I suppose if you get thirsty. No, Sean. Actually, Joseph, do you do that?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Well, here's a question, because I've never worked in a dairy farm. I used to work at Pack and Save, and obviously you can't steal. You know? Okay, here we out. Sorry, is that only at pack and safe? I'm pretty sure that's at every job. Yeah, every job. Don't steal, right?
Starting point is 00:10:04 But you're working with like, you know, in the back rooms and stuff. You could steal if you wanted to, but don't do it. It's a bad thing. What I'm getting to. Only at pack and say. No, at other businesses too. But that's just me. That's my history.
Starting point is 00:10:15 If you're working at a, like, milking cows, can you just like... A little suck a tea? Have a little milk. Well, Joseph, who's listening? Is that considered stealing? Let us know. I mean, irrelevant, but let us know. Joseph, have you ever sucked a cow teeth while milking?
Starting point is 00:10:32 But we want to know from you. Good morning to everyone, but you can get your text in on 33443, or if you call us today on 0800 the Edge, every caller that gets through to Edge Breakfast with Sean and Sov win something from the vending machine. Let's go to Sasha. Sasha doesn't have one, but she just texts in saying hi at Sasha. I'd love to win something from the vending machine. Sasha, welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Say something on air and you'll win something from the vending machine. Do you have an every, like, good morning to everyone, but? Yeah, I definitely have a good morning to everyone, but... Oh, had asked Sasha? I'm in the car with my two boys. We're driving to Auckland and there is a... I think it's a tourist. I don't want to name in a very big camper van in front of me going super slow.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Oh, good morning to everyone but camper vans that drive super slow. Sasha, thank you so much. You have won something from the vending machine. Sean's going to give you a number. I'm going to give you a number. All right, Sasha, what'd you like number 404? Or I'm going to go 101. Okay, boy, you say.

Starting point is 00:11:52 Good morning to people who throw their rubbish at the bin. miss and then don't pick it up. That one gets under my skin. Oh, that's horrible. I do want to correct you so. It would be good morning to everyone, but people who throw their rubbish at the bin. What did I say? Good morning to everyone who throws their rubbish at the bin. My bad.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Hey guys, we're just filling in for the one day, don't worry. I love the positivity and the inclusiveness, but no, we're mourning everyone but them. Okay, okay. Well, to be fair, it was their fault they text in without the butt. All right, let me try read this text. Good morning to everyone. But people who decide to reverse park and take a way too long time and hold everyone up. Amen, especially when you don't need to.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I'm that person. Are you? I'm so sorry, Abby. I'm that person. I will never do it again. Do you have to do multiple takes at it as well? Straighten up, bring it out. All right, I've got one.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Good morning to everyone except the people who sit right next to you on an empty bus. Why? There was a news story today. Why do people do that? Where a lady lost it at a guy because the bus was entirely empty. She was sitting there. he went and plopped himself right next to her and she just lost it she's like move honestly fair enough i would too all right let's go to the phones because uh today while shan shan and i are covering edge breakfast
Starting point is 00:13:05 we took their credit card and every caller that gets on air will win something from our vending machine all right pad for a second i've been told to put a voice disguiser on okay i'll read a couple more text messages and i've forgotten how to do this this one here good morning to everyone except uh people who have taken a gifted pensioner housing in our area in Blockass Bay. It doesn't sound very good. There's no good at all. They took a gifted block.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I've got it. I've got the voice disguiser on. Let's say... Anonymous? Anonymous. Hey anonymous. Say something. Yeah, I think that voice disguises.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Hi, how are you? Oh, this is great. Okay. Miss Anonymous voice disguiser, good morning to everyone, but who? Good morning to everyone. I expect my douchebag boyfriend. I just wanted to disappear.
Starting point is 00:13:50 last night and get paralytic drunk and then have everyone go out looking for him for about an hour and no one could find him. Oh my God, he just went off on his own little room. Where was he? It was totally disappeared. No, yeah. Well, you know, after going to quite a few caves around the road trying to find him, no, he was hiding behind a bush at home.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Oh, sorry, don't mean to laugh. Good morning to everyone but that, dude. But that dude. And Anonymous, because you are on the show this morning while. Sean and I have taken over. You win something from the vending machine. All right, this is exciting. We're going to give you two options from the vending machine. You can decide
Starting point is 00:14:27 which one you want. I'm going to go option number 603 Sof. I'm going to go 309 so you can pick Sean or soph and we'll tell you what you've won. We'll go Sean. All right, congratulations Anonymous. You have won a cup of chicken noodles.
Starting point is 00:14:45 What an interesting vending machine. Don't be too excited. Man, I know we've given I'm gonna wait tens of thousands of dollars on the show, but a cup of noodles, can't beat it. God, stunning stuff. It's time for where are you going with this. This is where we bring a topical story, and we figure out where are you going with this? Now, Sean, you brought two tables to the story.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Yeah, you did. You brought two stories to the table. Two tables. Just no chairs. And I got to pick one, and I picked one to do with Lotto. So hit me what the story is. Yeah, so the two options were Croc King collects more than 2,000 pairs of Crocs, and Pennsylvania Man wins Lotto for the third time.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Look, if there was a story about tables and chairs, you guarantee I would have picked that. But unfortunately, we're sticking with the Lotto Man. Yeah, your disdain for Crocs has bled through into this. All right, a Pennsylvania man who frequently plays the lottery has scored a $100,000 prize from a scratchy ticket. And there is his third major lottery win in a year. In a year. He's won over a million dollars, and he's won another one worth about $500,000.
Starting point is 00:15:45 In one year, he's won the lottery three times. I have only really been in the lotto game for about a year myself Wait, sorry I've never won anything Do you do lotto every week? Well no, I say it like I do I try to buy one a month When it goes real big I'm like
Starting point is 00:16:02 Oh, I'll win it Oh my god, that's still I didn't realize you were in the lotto game And so the point of this segment is We're trying to guess where you're going with the story, right? Yeah, so like, you know, classic radio, what am I doing with this? Okay What's the next bit? Well, I mean the fact that this man won three
Starting point is 00:16:18 times in a year and you're saying you've just started this year, are you going to tell us that you've won the lotto? No, I would have really led with that earlier this morning. You probably wouldn't have shown up to be here. You want me there at 4.30 in the morning. Producer Brock. Where do you think he's going with this? Well, because he's won so many times, I think you might be wanting to know, what are you playing
Starting point is 00:16:43 with too much? Because he's obviously playing a lotto too much. So what are you playing with too much? Brock. Broccoli. The edge normal show is back tomorrow. I know you miss them. You can't get us cancelled on our one more day.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Stop it. Okay. Back in the cheese sauce, broccoli. Where else do I think you're going with this? Surely like to do with luckiness because that person's really lucky. So either up next we're going to test each other, see who is luckier out of the two of us, or we're going to find like New Zealand's luckiest person.
Starting point is 00:17:19 How do we do this? Do I tell you where we're going with this now? I don't know. I've never done this. We do it now. We do it now. Where I'm going with this is. Okay, a man's won his third lotto jackpot. I want to know.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Wait, sorry. Did a man win three lotto jackpots? Catch up, Sean. Come on. I've had enough of you. What I want to know, I 800 the edge or 3343. Who's the luckiest person in New Zealand? Ding, ding, ding.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Are you the luckiest person in New Zealand? How many times have you won things? And now this doesn't need to be the lottery. Obviously amazing if you have won the lotto a few times. We can put a voice disguiser on you, by the way. But what if you just like consistently win your local meat raffle? Yeah, you've won 19 meat raffles in your beautiful short life. I want to know.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah, okay, 3343. You can text in or you can give a score on 0800 the edge. Let's mind New Zealand's luckiest Kiwi. So if you have won multiple things, let us know. Yeah, 0800 the edge, 3-3-400. Do you consistently win the raffle at your local surf club? Well, we may have someone. Haley's text in.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Let's chat to her. Haley, how many things have you won? Hi. I couldn't actually tell you how many things. Oh my gosh. Over the years, I just entered like something on Facebook or whatever, every single day. Yeah. And gosh, I've won like a barbecue.
Starting point is 00:18:43 I want like a Weber barbecue That was just a couple of Christmases ago I won a coffee machine Last Christmas I won a $500 Precii card for something in a survey What? You are that person? Haley The other week I won a like a glass in voucher like
Starting point is 00:19:01 200 bucks so Can't know what it was Who is consistently sharing these kind of things on my Instagram story Trying to win And has never ever won something like If you won something on like a Facebook giveaway stuff? Obviously not because Haley's winning them all.
Starting point is 00:19:15 What's the trick? How do you do it? Do you put like, when it's like comment below to win? Do you like... Do you put extra smiley faces? You've got to have that friend who knows that they're your friend for tagging. Oh, yes. And you tag them in.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah, and you always have that friend. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, Haley, I've got some really, really exciting news for you. You probably won't be excited because you win a lot, but every caller that gets on here today win something from the vendor. machine. Yeah, and you just tuned in. We've taken the edge, Clint Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:19:49 They're back tomorrow. They had enough budget to buy themselves air fresheners. We figured we'd dip into that budget and we'll just buy something from the vending machine for a recaller. So you can decide which one you'd like. Number 305 or... Or number 511. What are you feeling? 305. Sean, what does she win?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Congratulations. You have won yourself a packet of grain waves. Yeah! Get it, Haley! I mean, it's not Weber. It's no barbecue, but the winning street continues. How good, congratulations. Cheers, aye. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:20:28 It's the Edge. Now, over the weekend, we, friends of ours here at The Edge, we decided to celebrate our beautiful producer Cow who works in the afternoon show. Yeah, you might know him if you listen to this show. He used to produce The Edge Breakfast. Yeah, he used to be intern Cal. And he had his birthday over the weekend And Braden, our receptionist, and his flatmates decided we're going to throw him
Starting point is 00:20:50 A little celebratory surprise birthday party. Love that. Now, surprise birthday parties are always tricky Because you have to somehow get them to a location That is undisclosed at a certain time And try not to give it away. Now, the way the boys did it was they bundled him up into a car. We all met at Cal's parents' house.
Starting point is 00:21:12 They bundled him up into the car. They put a blindfold. on and they drove him to the parents' house. Now when Cal took the blindfold off, I'm going to say it. Didn't look that surprised. Okay, hold on. Didn't look that surprised. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:21:27 You put a blindfold on him. Yes. Well, of course he thought he was going to a surprise party. That's what I thought. Why did they put a blindfold on him? That's not how you do it. We managed to get Katie from the edge of our beautiful hot Kate. She got a surprise party and we took her out for breakfast and actually went in
Starting point is 00:21:43 back to her flat and hidden her house, so she had no idea. Right. But I thought Cal was very sweet about it. He took the blindfold off and went, oh my God, hi, what's up? Great impression of Cal. And I talked, thank you. I talked to him afterwards, and I was like, oh, did you know? And he's like, oh, well, I knew I was coming to my parents' house because I could tell on the drive over.
Starting point is 00:22:06 We went over the bridge, which here in Auckland is a, you know, a big thing. And he's like, and I kind of could tell exactly where we were. and he's like, oh, but I had no idea what was going on, which I think was a lie. So I've called Cal very early in the morning. Sorry, Cal, Cal. And I want to get some honesty. Good morning, Sunshine. How are you?
Starting point is 00:22:27 Callum. Callum. Calum, Payne. Callum, welcome to the show. Where is it? Why isn't this working? Hello, Cal, are you there? Hi, God.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Oh, that was weird technical difficulties. Good morning, Sunshine. Firstly, apologies for waking you up so early. Secondly, why'd you lie to me? I didn't, uh, mm. See? Okay. We just need the full honesty.
Starting point is 00:22:51 This is just a moment. You know, it's been and gone. Everyone believed you. Did you know it was a surprise party? Did you fake the big S? Well, okay, no. Okay. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:02 There were parts I didn't know. So I knew that we were going to my parents' house. I had, I knew it was some sort of surprise. I thought it was just going to be like the flatmate. and then my parents and they'd put on like a really nice feed. I thought that's what was happening. But I had no idea who was going and how many people were going to be there. So that was a surprise to me.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Okay. Was it the blindfold that tipped you off to it? Because I feel like putting a blindfold on someone, you're really letting them know that there's a surprise coming. Yeah. Well, yeah. So I knew that there was some kind of surprise happening because they blindfolded me from the moment like I walked out of my bedroom
Starting point is 00:23:42 until I got there. And was there any moments in the flat where you overheard conversation about stuff that was going to happen? Yes. So, okay, next question. Oh my God, failure. When you were on the way over in the car, were you practicing in your head how to act surprised? Maybe. Follow-up question, do you intend to ever get into the acting game?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Because I don't think it's for you. I think I did very well. Let me show you what I did. It took flying follow up. Wow. Oh my God, hi. That's exactly what I just did. Put the two clips back to back.
Starting point is 00:24:19 That is exactly what I did. Cal, you can go back to sleep, you gorgeous human. Keep faking those big asses, boy. Thanks, good. Even when you said it there, it sounded fake. Oh, my God. Hi, but we want to know from you on 3343.3. You can text in or give us a cool 0800 the edge.
Starting point is 00:24:35 When did you have to fake the surprise? Did you know like you were getting proposed to and you had to pretend you didn't? Or did you know someone was getting false? or you were getting a job and you had to be like oh my god yay! I love this 0,800 the edge, when did you fake the big
Starting point is 00:24:52 S? We're talking about it next, every caller wins something from the vending machine this morning. Sean and so, fill in in for Clint Meg and Dan. The Edge Breakfast. Now we want to know when you faked the big S when you had to act surprise. This is after producer Cal we threw him a surprise party on the weekend and I was not fooled by his oh my god! Hi! And it turns out he
Starting point is 00:25:13 did have an idea that he was getting thrown a surprise party and faked the big yes. So you can text in 3343 or give us a call, 0,800 the edge. You can always tell. You can. You can. It's so hard to fake a surprise or fake like when you've been given a gift that you don't like. glad we went there, didn't know where you're going with that. And you pretend that you love the gift. A few of those texts coming through. It's hard. It's a hard thing to do. Oh, my God. A candle. It's exactly what I was going to buy myself.
Starting point is 00:25:42 came in, had to be fake surprise for my friend's engagement. I'd helped her fiancé with the ring. So they knew all along and they were like, oh my God, you're getting engaged. Let's go straight to the phones. Shania, sorry. Is that how he pronounced your name? I'm so sorry. Close enough. How do I say it, gal? Shanaia.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Shanaia. Hold up, Shanaia. That was so polite because that is not close enough. Close at all. It was so far. She's faking that I was even close. You're obviously good at faking already. What fake did you surprise?
Starting point is 00:26:16 Did my brain just stop? I had to fake my surprise birthday party when I was about eight because my mum was planning me a birthday party, but she wrote the invites on letters and put them in envelopes for me to give to my friends and told me, don't open it, it's a surprise. So I opened it. And I had to pretend for weeks that I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:26:41 She got you to do the delivery. You never give a kid something and say don't open it, it's a surprise. The kid will open it 99% of times. Instantly open it. Yeah, I don't even think I made it out the driveway without opening the letter. Oh, stunning. That's so funny. Oh, yeah, Shania, you're on here.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Did I say the name wrong again? Yeah, Sharia. But you win something from the vending machine because Sean and I stole the credit card from Edge Breakfast this morning. Yeah, so every caller win something from the vending machine. You can decide would you like number 307? or... 510. 3.7.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Congratulations. You have won yourself. Some brandless party mix lolly! Yay! She's not even good at acting. Happy surprise. All right, thanks, Janaya.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Let's go. Lisa, when did you have to fake surprise? On more than one occasion, I've had to fake surprise that I'm hearing for the first time one of my good friends is with child. they've, you know, done the whole announcement that they're pregnant. And I've had to really try hard to pretend it's the first time I'm hearing it.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And it is hard. But, yeah, I think they do a pretty good job. So have you heard from other friends or from like partners and things? You've got the insider. When you're good friends with a group and you hang out socially quite often, sometimes something let's slip and each person doesn't know who knows so it's like oh
Starting point is 00:28:18 I don't know if you know this yet but blah blah blah and you're just like oh no I didn't know that but I'll just keep that quiet until they tell me themselves because it's their big news yeah oh well Lisa if you've done this multiple times can we do a quick test can you
Starting point is 00:28:36 can you apt surprise for me so like oh my god Lisa I'm pregnant So you just give the look of shock first. Okay, I'm imagining it. Yeah, it's on the phone. And then, oh my God. That is so... That was really amazing.
Starting point is 00:28:58 That was really good. All right, Lacey, you've also won something from the vending machine. Would you like 409? Oh, sorry, I've prematurely hit the music there. Sorry. 409 or... Or I'm going to go with 407. What will it be, Lisa?
Starting point is 00:29:13 409. 409, you've won a peanut slap. Oh, shit, that's my favorite. She's good. She's great. Lisa, do you want to quickly pretend that you're excited about what's coming up on the show? Do you just want to say, oh man, I can't wait. This is going to be really good.
Starting point is 00:29:29 I can't believe you guys are filling in this morning. Okay. Hit it. Oh, my God, it's so great that you guys are filling in. I cannot wait for the next segment of the show. Oh, my God. My favourite person, Lisa, that has given me the confidence I need. Hey, over the weekend, big win for New Zealand UFC fighter Israel, Arasanya, won the middleweight title.
Starting point is 00:29:50 It was incredible. This is the reaction. It's actually a live film from my house. Is that your reaction to it? So he beat this guy called Alex Pereira, and it was one of those things where they have had a few fights previously. Alex has always come out on top. Izzy has been a champ so many times, but it was. kind of this beautiful narrative of
Starting point is 00:30:15 it's the one person who's been in him, but he came out, he was just a man possessed and he took that belt like there was no tomorrow. Up Izzy. Yes, great day for New Zealand. So given our competitive nature, we thought we'd do our own little knockout game this morning.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Yeah, not quite as brutal as UFC, but it's a game that we used to play on edge nights. And Sean... I suggested we have a cage fight on ear. Same. And producer Brock thought it was a bad guy. We got told no. But you have won this every single time we've ever played. So I'd like to say I'm the underdog in this round.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Now how this game works is we will call a random number from the Edge phone line. The phone line will have no caller ID on it so they don't know who's calling. What we will do is proceed to put the person on hold instantly. Now we won't actually put them on hold. We'll just say, hey, can you hold there and play some music down to them? And it's whoever gets the person to hold for the longest wins. Okay, have you got your business that you're going to call? Yeah, I've got my business right.
Starting point is 00:31:13 timer, okay. If someone called you out of the blue and then put you on hold, how long are you actually holding? Two seconds. I immediately hang up. You called me. Why are you putting me on hold? Don't ruin this for me.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Hey, can you just hold there for two seconds? Thank you. Yes, sure. Need you sit there? Thank you. And I've lost them. What is that? 12 seconds?
Starting point is 00:31:42 Oh my gosh. 12 seconds. 12 seconds. That is the number of eight. I'm impressed. He just said, okay, yep, sure, just waited there. Who does that? Okay, I'm up next. You're on 12 seconds. I'll find a business to call, and we'll see who comes out on top.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I don't think you can meet that. That was pretty decent. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. How it works, we call a random business and we put them on hold and see how long they'll listen to hold music before they hang up. Now, Sean has always won this game, and you are off to a solid start. You just got a full 12 seconds in. I'll just hang up. You called me.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Why are you putting me on? Sorry, this is a little replay of what just happened on here. Don't ruin this movie. Wait there too, Tomel. Hey, can you just hold there for two seconds? Thank you. So I got 12 seconds in. That's the idea of the game.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So if you've chosen a slightly different strategy this morning. Look, I thought I'd go for someone that I know has good customer service. I'm going to call a Bunnings. And I'm going to try and put them on hold. This is the plan. It's iconic. Thank you for calling Bunnings Laube. One of our team members will be with you shortly.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Our store opening hours Monday to Friday 6.30 a.m. It's not a great start. They haven't answered out the game. Oh goodness me. Should I try something else? No, no, I like this.
Starting point is 00:33:05 We're here now. We're here for it. This is how you know that our show is live radio. Okay. Okay. No, I'm calling something else. No, I reckon someone's going to pick up. Give it 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Here we go. No, they put me on hold. This is not working. Okay, give me one more. chance. I'm going to call another, I'm going to call a cafe, okay. Can we not just accept that as a loss? No, I'm not losing. Can you put on the phone line two? Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Here we go. Hi, Troy. I'm so sorry. Do you mind just waiting there for a sec? He's still on hold. We're going to give that timers away. Hey! Thanks, Troy. Have a stunning day. You're live on the edge, by the way. We're playing a game called Hold Me while you wait, where we call a random number and put them on hold and see how long they hold for. and I think you just voluntarily held for about 25 seconds. It was incredible.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Troy? Troy's not even there. Troy just put our phone down. Okay. And he's gone. And now he's hung up on us. Hey, I take the win. I'm the champ once more, baby.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Congratulations, So. Clint, Meg and Dan. The Edge Breakfast scandal. Now this is usually where Meg will, you know, talk through the highlights in pop culture and celebrity goth. So if you've come up with a very different tactic this morning, Yeah, you know, how many times can you just hear someone, like, you know, say stuff about relationships? I thought, because it's been a fair few days and there's so much scandal, that I would wrap it up, quite literally, in the form of a rap. Now, in hindsight, I don't know why I did this.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I sometimes forget that while we're in here having fun in a room, it actually goes live on radio, and people know me listen to this. People are listening. Oh, God. So I have... This is so your idea, though. It is. Just though no one has put her up to this. No one is making me do it.
Starting point is 00:35:22 No one has suggested I do it. No one has even agreed that I should be doing it. But I'm going to do it. So I've written a wrap. I'm really nervous. My palms are sweaty. I'm standing up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Knees week. Okay. Start it again. Arms are heavy. Okay. Something about spaghetti. Okay. I just need to feel the groove a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Oh, uh, here we go. Okay. I'm almost ready. Tell us what's happening. All right. Scandal. Scandles coming at you in a different. way. Wrapping up the stories literally. From sports to celebs and everything in between. Strap

He's back to being in champ the man's legendary. Now in the world of fame, let's talk love life. There's breakups and makeups a whole lot of strife. Taylor Swift ended six years with Joe. Watch out for the next. album she'll have a go. Now rumour has it Kylie Jenna, seeing someone new, spotted in Italy by paparazzi dude. Timothy Shalamey. Wait what? He's the man she's seeing according to the talk at the box office. It's a me, Mario. Breaking records as it opens, it'll go very far, Rio. Biggest opening of an animated movie. All the tickets were bought by 18 to 35 year olds. How groovy. Biggest
Starting point is 00:36:43 five-day opening of all time. Leaving frozen too far in its behind. And that's your quick wrap on the weekend bean. Hope you have a lovely week, my kings and queens. Wow. Thank you. That is so wrapping your scandal this morning. That is scandal. Hold on, I have to do a scandal tag.
Starting point is 00:37:04 That is scandal. Double or drop every morning at 8 a.m. Put your music knowledge to the test and win. Cash, cash, cash, cash, cash, cash. Oh, you could have wrapped that part. Oh, cash. 8 a.m. y'all. Some good text coming through here.
Starting point is 00:37:16 This is fire. Yes, the girl's got buzz. So this is a lot. sick. Can Meg rap rap scandal every morning? I can see what they call her the female Jack Harlow. You wrote that one and thanks, George. Yeah, I did text. Sometimes I like to text my own
Starting point is 00:37:30 and show what I'm on there. Hey, So if that was amazing, you definitely need to keep the pace and wrap scandal next hour as well. I haven't written a rap for next hour though, so I have 45 minutes to think of a whole new rap. Wait, you wrote that? I thought it was off the dome. Let's go to Kirstie. Kirstie, welcome to the show. What do we think of Sauf's scandal rap? Oh, Stokey, you blew me away, girl.
Starting point is 00:37:49 That's so good. Kirstie, and guess what? Oh, girl, thank you so much. And because you got on here, everyone that gets on here today wins something from the vending machine. So I'll shout you. Do you want 511 or 412?
Starting point is 00:38:05 I'll go, 412, please. 412, you have won yourself a caramelo chocolate box. Oh, how old? Oh, this is better and better. Thank you, girls. That is because we've taken over. The clip Megan Dana back tomorrow. They've got show budget, so we're just buying things from the vending machine for everyone.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So, cool this morning. We've never had money on our shows. Clint, Meg, and Dan, The Edge Breakfast. I'm going on a little family holiday to Fiji. Oh, must be nice. Yeah, I'm actually very excited. My family lives in Fiji, and I don't even get to go there. It's true, Dad's Fiji, you know.
Starting point is 00:38:39 He lives over there right now. I might go say hi to him. Oh, please do. So it's my girlfriend's family, and we're going to Fiji, and so they've started a family group chat in which some of us partners are in there as well. And the one thing that came up real early is that her brother actually messaged in the chat. All right. Tagged me.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Yep. Called me out. At Sean. At Sean Hill. No budgy smugglers are allowed on this family trip to Fiji. And then her sister, her twin sister, which makes it even worse, double down on the chat. Sorry. Pause.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Why does it make it worse if it's her twin sister? She's not attracted to you just because you're attracted to her twin. Is that not how it works? No. You don't get both. And so she jumps in the chat and goes, I agree. No budgie smugglers. So I'm laughing it off going, ha ha ha, are they serious?
Starting point is 00:39:28 I feel personally attacked. Why can't I wear my budgie smugglers? I'm at the beach. Look, I want to get a tan too. There is just something about a man in budgie smugglers, which is so wrong. It's so wrong. Why, though? A woman, no one's going to judge if you choose to wear boardies, a bikini, a one piece.
Starting point is 00:39:47 As soon as a guy goes, I want to get the smugglers out and get a tan. I'm sicko. It's just, it's not sick. It's just confronting. I think you can be the hottest man alive. And if you are in Budgies at the beach, I can't look at you. I don't know where to look. I'm flustered and concerned and not turned on.
Starting point is 00:40:05 It's just, more just, just, ugh. It's just, a no-go. They're just a no-go, especially on a family holiday. You want your mother-in-law to be looking you in the face and the budgies. Is that what you want? Well, no, I just want to get a tan and wear my, favourite swim with you are quite the confident budgie man as well like you have worn them for some an edge diving thing the other week i'm what they call an early adopter sofa i feel like i was early on crox
Starting point is 00:40:30 i've been wearing crox for years and budgie smugglers believe me in two years time when every single guy on the beach in new zealand is wearing budgie smugglers you can thank me for it and go i remember i heard shorn on the edge there was this guy that i was dating for a little bit and he wore budgey smugglers and i instantly like i was like attracted to him until he wore the budgies and then i was like i just I can't do it anymore. Well, good thing I'm not vying for your affection, so. But we did a quick poll on Edge Breakfast Radio to see if people are yaying or naing.
Starting point is 00:40:57 You mean the Instagram. This is Edge Breakfast Radio. Oh, yeah, I mean the Instagram. We wanted to see if people were into the Budgies or not. Sean, would you like to reveal the statistics? All right, let me pull it up. It'll be overwhelmingly, yes. What's the stat?
Starting point is 00:41:09 Oh, my God, I got slaughtered. We put a fan of Budgie Smugglers, yay or nay. 12% said yay, 88% said nay. 88% said nay. 88% baby. Okay, well, 88% of people, are you still confident enough to wear them on your family vacay? Oh, yeah, I still want to wear them. I feel like it should be up to me to decide.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Well, I've got a challenge for you next, because in order for you to be able to wear your budgies confidently, although 88% of people say, please do not, I would like you. We have a very, very popular street beside our workplace. It's a lot of cars. I've made you a beautiful sign that says, too to you like budgies. Oh, my God. I've bought you in a pair of budgie smugglers from said guy. to date.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Stop it. You are going out on the street and your budgies and you are seeing if people like budgies. Oh, man, I should have known I was signing up for this
Starting point is 00:41:56 when I was filling in for Clint Legg and Dan. Okay, and what is this? Presumably going to go live on the internet as well. Can we go live on Edge Breakfast? Okay, so... Edge Breakfast or Edgns Edg.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Ooh. Edge breakfast. All right. Edge Breakfast, Instagram if you would like to see me out on the street. And let's let the actual people that humans on their way to work
Starting point is 00:42:14 this morning decide. Good luck. Get running, boy. With two. Clint, Meg. Dan, the Edge Breakfast. We're having a little bit of fun. So, Sean, if you missed it, he is going on a family trip with his girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:42:25 They're off to Fiji, and in the group chat, they have tried to veto his budgie smugglers. He is a budgie man. He loves rocking it out. And we have sent him to the street now to get the feedback of the people. Now, on Instagram, 88% of people said that they didn't want to see Sean in his budgies. But Sean, coming in live, coming in hot, we have sent him down to the corner of the street with a massive sign that says toot for the budgies. Sean, how are you feeling now that you're out there in the cold? Both vulnerable and regrets would be the three words that come to mind.
Starting point is 00:42:59 And a bit tired, to be honest, because they had to run to the street. Okay, we've got one, too. What's the rules? If we make it to 10 toots, do we think that we can take the budgies with you to Fiji? Yeah, don't leave that one tooth for you, though. There was a heavy flow of traffic, and it's the only one we've received so far. Oh, dear Lord. Ten toots does seem generous in my favour.
Starting point is 00:43:18 So far it's an overwhelming no. Can we get a toot here? Hey, there we go. You're at too. Also, I'd love to note that Sean is actually stationed outside a police station. So I'm kind of curious if he'll be done for public indecency. Because I feel like the budgy smuggler is a bit of a public indecency kind of thing. We're getting some tuts.
Starting point is 00:43:38 We're getting some smiles. We're getting people averting their eyes. People actually turning off the road. to avoid this particular route in order to not see the unseenly Hey, we've got another two there. Okay, I think you're up to three. My question, though, is in terms of your confidence.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Now, you said that you wouldn't really mind that you would be with your technical like mother-in-law and your girlfriend's mum. Are you still confident now that you are out in the public? Less confident. I would say being on a private beach with, you know, loved ones is an easier situation and then standing on the corner at 8 a.m on a Tuesday morning in the cold.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Yeah, that is. The cold is definitely a part of it as well. All right, I see if I can get three more toots. If I get three more toots than I am, the people have spoken. Okay. From now you have exactly, I'm going to give you 15 seconds, okay? That is how long you have. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Let's go. Can we get a toot here? Give me a toot. No, there's a bus. He's driven past. He looks disappointed. Can we get a toot for me? No, that man looks upset.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Can we get a toot? No, once again, they're not having it. Can we get a toop for the smugglers? No, thank you. Okay. Can we get, no, that person's clearly a new thought listener. All right, I think this poll has answered itself, so. Yeah, Sean, get your ass back to studio, mate.
Starting point is 00:45:04 I'm going back to the studio. I'm taking what little dignity I have. The police are coming out of the station. The police are coming. Okay. I'm coming back. All right, Sean is on his way back to the studio. I think once and for all, we have decided that,
Starting point is 00:45:15 smugglers, maybe not, maybe not the vibe. But hey, if you are confident to rock it, go you. And I'm all for it. The edge is Clint Meg and Dan's Double or Drop. We are taking the baton and holding it high and playing double or drop with you this morning. How it works, you can win yourself $400 cash. All you've got to do is correctly name the artist of four songs. Now, if you do it successfully, each time you are building your cash, we're doubling from $50 all the way to $400.
Starting point is 00:45:41 If you miss an artist, get it wrong. you will drop. So you really got to be on the money, quite literally. Let's go. Kristen from Blenheim, you are going to be our lucky contestant today. How are you feeling? Woo-hoo. I'm feeling good.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Okay, love it. And you think you're pretty confident with artists? Oh, yeah, relatively. Okay, that's all we need. We need a little bit of relative confidence and we'll get through it. So you know how the game works. If you get one wrong, we will drop back to zero. I'll do the math, so all you've got to do is listen out to the song
Starting point is 00:46:11 and hopefully get the artist. Good luck. And say it quickly, Kirsten. You have five seconds. All right. Your first song starts now. Luke and Honey? Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:27 There you go. 50. On the board. Lewis Kamaldi, but close enough, Lewis Kepaldi. Kristen, congratulations. One song down. Let's go. Song number two.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Brianna? She's got it. We're up to $100. 100. Okay, Kristen, doing really well. Keep that confidence going. Thank you. Your calm, your cool, collected.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Song number three. That is tough. We're going to have to go to the video ref on that one. Brock, what do we reckon? Was it after the buzzer or was it before the buzzer that she said it? I think she got it. Okay, we'll give it to her. You think she got it?
Starting point is 00:47:10 Hey, we've gone to the video ref. Congratulations, Kristen, that is. Oh my goodness. This is it. Kristen, right here. If you get the next one correct, you will win $400 cash or walk away with nothing. Nothing. No pressure. Pressure.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Here we go. Here's your fourth song. Brilliant. You have smashed double or drop this morning. You've got the cast. Congratulations. Absolute legend. How's nice that to start a week?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Oh, that's awesome. Amazing. And Kristen, because you are on the show this morning, we have been borrowing the Edge Breakfast budget. Obviously, the show back tomorrow. They bought themselves a bunch of air fresheners. Sofa and I spending some of that budget on the vending machine. Every call that calls through can win a prize from the vending machine this morning.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Kristen, would you like number 404 from the vending machine or would you like number 408? 404. 404. What does she win, Sean? Kristen, you have won. A cranberry almond cashew mix. $400 in cranberry almonds. What a day to be alive.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Kristen from Blenheim, have a beautiful rest of your week. Thank you so much. Stunning. That is double a drop. It is back every morning at 8 a.m. with Clint Megan Dan. think you could have nailed that and you knew those artists, make sure you are listening and you get that call through on 0,800 the edge. Oh, I've got myself in a pickle and I need to know that I am not in a pickle.
Starting point is 00:48:48 I need to know that I am just a nice vegetable and not a pickled vegetable, you know? You're a cucumber. Not a gurkin. Not a gherkerker. Sof's going on her first ever blind date, which in 2023 is kind of crazy. And I don't mean blind date as in, you know, you've never met them before. You don't even know what the guy looks like. I don't know anything about him.
Starting point is 00:49:07 So I got a text from my friend over the weekend. The funny thing about this friend as well, like, we're pretty close, but I haven't seen her in a while. Like, it's been a hot minute even since I've seen her. And she texts me out of the blue, and she goes, Sof, how's the love life? Awful.
Starting point is 00:49:21 That was the answer. Un apparent. She said, well, I've got someone that I know that I really want to set you up on a date with, but I'm not going to tell you who it is. And I was like, well, I'll be honest. Sean, if you said, you want to set me up on a blind date?
Starting point is 00:49:37 Hell no, would I... Why? I've got great taste. No, I would not trust you in the slightest. You would do something to stitch me up. It would be something for some on-ear content. It'd be someone I've already dated, and I'd awkwardly go there and be like, ah, hi, how's your mum?
Starting point is 00:49:50 Well, that's what I'm thinking is happening here, because I've got so many questions. A, if she is willing to set you up on a blind date, wouldn't she at least say, hey, this is what the guy looks like? No. So I said, okay, I'm interested. I'm always down to fall in love,
Starting point is 00:50:03 and I thought, well, why not? It's not a dating app, it's not a bar, and I said, at least give me a name. She didn't give me a name. She didn't give me a job, didn't give me anything. What's worth, Sean, is she has planned the date, and I didn't want to tell her this. She has planned my worst nightmare date. Mini golf. Why is that the, that's a great for this day?
Starting point is 00:50:27 I hate mini golf so much. It is, I used to work at primary school, and so I have flashbacks of 12 children running after me with golf clubs, like, whacking each other on the head. And I honestly think I'll get there and be like, if his name is Jimmy, I'll be like, Jimmy, put your club down, you know? Well, Minigolf's a good first date location, because, you know, it's outdoors, you're talking, you get an opportunity to talk while doing an activity.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Also, there's an excuse to make light physical contact, should you see that? How am I even going to know who it is? Because imagine if I get there and I walk up to a random guy and I'm like, hi, I'm so, and he goes, cool? This is the question. If she's so unwilling to even give you a name, that makes me think that you know who this is. person is and that you otherwise what would be the harm and say oh his name is Brian and he'll be
Starting point is 00:51:09 wearing a blue shirt because me being me like most people nowadays if I knew his name was Brian and I knew he was friends with my friend I would go instantly to her following list on Instagram I would search any Brian and I would go through all their photos find his LinkedIn obviously but I want to know from you because this is happening this Friday Friday afternoon I am going on a blind date completely blind never seen the person in my life I just want to know because I don't think it doesn't happen anymore. I don't think people, people do blind dates. Have you ever, ever in your life gone on a blind date or set up a friend? You can text in on 3343 or give us a call. 0-800-the-edge.

I want to know what your stories are. 0-800-the-edge, have you on a blind date or call to talk soap out of this terrible idea? It sounds like the start of the movie taken. No, it'll be fine. I'm sure there are people out there who have been on a blind day and it was actually okay. I'll 800 The Edge. Give us a call or text to 3343. Clint, Meg and Dan.
Starting point is 00:52:12 It's the Edge. I'm concerned about you. You were going on a blind date this Friday and so blind you don't even know what the guy's name is. Yeah, I'm putting complete trust in my friend Renee. She texts me over the weekend just out of the blue really and said, hey, how's your love life? I've got someone I want you to meet. And I thought, you know what?
Starting point is 00:52:30 I've tried everything. I am out here struggling. Why not unless the help of my friends? Okay. You're on every dating app. Hey, not everyone. You're sliding into guys' DMs on LinkedIn. No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:52:45 This is blasphemy. This is defamation. Turn us microphone off. The local coffee stop. We're hanging out in buttings. I am. Asking random dudes if that's the right paint shade. You're making me sound desperate.
Starting point is 00:52:57 What makes you think that the blind date, And the fact that you have no control over it is going to make it any different. Well, I don't know. I think it's just going to be a good story. Like, regardless if it goes well or not, I think anyone who's experienced a blind date has a story for life. For me, I look and go, like, I'm going to fall in love one day and I'm going to have a beautiful family and I'm going to grow old with that person. And then I'm going to be in the retirement village laughing about all my antics when I was 20, something, and all the things that happened. Like, remember that time I went to Minigolf on a blind date and it turned out he slept with my life.
Starting point is 00:53:30 cousin. Like, it's going to be something like that. But I wanted to refer from you on 3-3-4-3. You can text in or give us a call on. Oh, 800 the Edge. What are your experiences with blind dates? Do you know anyone that's been on one? Has it worked for you? It's an older generation that's coming through with the blind dates this morning. But everyone who's come through have got married. This one here. It's called an arranged marriage. No, I went on a blind date in 1999, still married to him. This one here. 24 years late. My parents met on a month.

I'm sure that their parents would have met on Hinge if they could. Okay, let's talk to Karina. Who's called Throw an 0-800-the-edge. Karina, do you know someone who's been on a blind date? Yes, my parents did. Okay, you're really helping with the statistics. The parents have done it. Karina, how, what year did your parents go on this blind date? you know, ballpark?

I didn't even, I see I go for old people. I'm kidding. Look, Karina, that gives me hope. If you were to give me any tips for going on this blind date, do you have anything you would suggest?
Starting point is 00:54:55 Well, my mum got my sister to answer the door So just in case she didn't like what she saw She could be runaway This is genius I'm going to get someone to come with me to minigolp and do a little Rikki And like run past and see And then if we're like a no-go I'll just be like, oh, I'm sick

Starting point is 00:55:44 And he didn't show. And I was like, oh, my gosh, I had no way home because I had gotten dropped off. So then come Monday, we re-reviewed. boot and apparently he got the wrong day and all that and I was like oh okay so we set it up for again for the next weekend and this time I got my friend to wait in the car so I had an escape yeah and I actually waited down the alleyway by where the bar was or meeting he didn't show again oh my god you got stood up and then I saw him and then I saw him out that night because I was with my sister and she goes that's the guy that stood you up.

Starting point is 00:56:29 you stood me up on a blind date twice. That's really effing rude. And he was like, he was just so embarrassed. But I was like, why would you do that? Oh, my God. I'm so glad you went and told him as well. Like, oh, that is brilliant. I am now very stressed for Friday, Renee.

Starting point is 00:57:17 Good luck for the blind date. weekend, Sof. It's Clint, Megan, Dan. The Edge Breakfast. Scandal. Now, last hour, Sof decided to do something different with scandal. Look, I, sometimes you just, you got to try things in life, and I spent a lot of my yesterday night, because I couldn't sleep, writing a rap of all the stories.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Because there were just so many scandal stories, I couldn't pick one, and I thought, you know, it would be fun if I rap them. Now, in hindsight, I am embarrassed. It was good. It was really good. Oh, look. And you... It was better...
Starting point is 00:57:50 And I'm honest here. It was better than I thought it was going to be. Okay, but you didn't think it was going to be good to start with. Correct. All right. But it was better than I thought it was going to be. So we're putting it to the people. Would you like to hear a scandal story just spoken about?
Starting point is 00:58:03 Or would you like to hear the rap, which I have tried to add to in the last two songs. I've added more scandal stories. It's been an overwhelming guess on the text machine. Let's go to Anna. Anna, what do we reckon? Does Sof have to rap scandal again? Because you said it's so nice. Honestly, I have tried to add some more stories, so it's a little bit different if you did hear it.
Starting point is 00:58:32 You know what, why not? I'm only on here once. I'm leaving tomorrow. Before we get to it, because we have filling in for the Edge breakfast today, Anna, we've stolen some of their budget. And we're trying to give a home on every caller who gets on here a prize from the vending machine here. So congratulations. You've won yourself some mini squiggle spice. How good.
Starting point is 00:58:50 All right, Anna, hold there. And so give us some hot fire scandal. Okay, if you've never heard this, I'm going to tell you all the scandal stories from the weekend in rap form. Ah, let's push. Scandals coming at you in a different way. Rapping up all the stories, literally. From sports to celebs and everything in between, strap yourselves in Fano, it's about to begin. First things first, our boy is he.

There's breakups and make-ups a whole lot of strife. Taylor Swift ended six years with Joe. Watch out for the album, she'll be having a go. Rumor has it Kylie Gina seeing someone new.

Starting point is 00:59:58 Breaking records as it opens, it'll go fario. Biggest opening of an animated movie. All the tickets were 18 to 35 year olds, which is groovy. Biggest five-day opening of all time, leaving Frozen too far and it's behind. And that's your quick wrap on the weekend. I hope you've had a lovely week, my kings and queens. It gets better.
Starting point is 01:00:22 It gets better every time. It was like 7.30 was your warm up. You were like at the start of Harry's love on tour and now you're down in New Zealand and you've really got it. Never again. You've nailed it. Deage is Clint, Megan Dan.
Starting point is 01:00:35 Sof, I am in a long-term committed relationship for those of you who are listening who don't know who I am. Oh, sorry, I'll turn your mic on. Stop bragging about it, okay? We get it. Someone loves you. Okay. So we live together.
Starting point is 01:00:47 We've been dating a while. She has a T-shirt that she loves. This one that she wears all the time. It's a certain brand. And it was her birthday recently. So I thought, you know what would be a great gift, is to get her another t-shirt by that brand that she loves so much. I know it fits her. I know what the size is.
Starting point is 01:01:03 And I know she loves the brand. First question. Yeah. Was it like a similar style-ish? Or did you go a bit rogue? Similar style, different colour. Okay, okay. So, you know, you would think she would like it.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Exactly. So I gifted it to her. She said she loved it. She said it was amazing. Oh, sorry. When are you going to go and turn around and be like, I hate this gift that you have bought me? Yeah. Yeah, but she sold it really well.
Starting point is 01:01:26 She really sold the surprise. Yeah. And so I was convinced that she actually liked this t-shirt. And then this is probably a year ago that I bought it for her. And in the last six months, she hasn't worn it once. So I inquired the other day. I was like, hey, do you still have that T-shirt that I bought you? I haven't seen you wear it.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Never inquire. That is the most awkward thing, being like, hey, remember that gift I got? Why do you not wear it every day? But I'm thinking maybe she's just forgotten about it. Oh, okay. In the back of the cupboard. You know, sometimes. T-shirts get stuck in the back.
Starting point is 01:01:57 So I'm like, hey, where's that T-shirt? And do you know what she said to me? She said, oh, yep, I just haven't really worn it. I kind of forgot about it. So here I am going, great. Oh, good. You have reminded her. It is in the back of the cupboard.
Starting point is 01:02:08 And then a couple weeks past, oh, where's that T-shirt? You've dug it in. You've dug it in. No, we didn't need to ask the first time. The second time, I think you're just pushing it, mate. Yeah, and so she comes clean to me eventually. and goes, Sean, I've sold the t-shirt. And so my response was, why didn't you just tell me that you sold it?
Starting point is 01:02:31 And she's like, well, you can't tell someone you've sold a gift from them. And I was like, we live together. I know if it's not here anymore. I see that you're not wearing it. Yeah, that's just awkward, though. I reckon just die on that sword and say it somewhere in the back of the cupboard. Just say you've lost it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:46 To sell a gift. I think we all have done it. I think we've all sold a gift along or sold something. But while you're living with the person, that is bold. That is a bold move on her behalf. I know. And to not even tell me, like... What was the time frame when you gave it to her versus when she sold it?
Starting point is 01:03:03 She had it for less than a year before she sold it while we are living together. No, you've got to crack the year. Leave it for a year. And you said, you can sell an ex's things. Great, of course you can. As soon as you break up with an ex, you can sell everything you still own of theirs. Not a partner that you are still weird. What's the time limit, though, do you reckon on gifts, whether it's like partners or
Starting point is 01:03:21 family and stuff, if you get given something and you really, you really have no need for it, maybe you've got two of them, maybe they gave you a really fruity candle and you're like, I am all candled out. What's the time limit before you can sell on your gift? I think it's such a case-by-case basis, because my older brother gave me this, this like print portrait for Christmas. You can't sell a photo of yourself, Sean. No, no, it's not of us. I thought you're putting it on showing me like how he is my face. No, it's like this like graffiti thing and it's not us. And I don't like it. And that went straight to the sallies. What? The next day? The next day.
Starting point is 01:03:53 That's brutal. But that's not my partner giving me something, you know? That's a brother that I don't talk to very often. But I think we do need to know. I think we've got to put the feelers out there this morning and find out what A, is this okay? Am I overreacting? B, is there a time frame that you're able to sell a gift? Yeah, like how quickly did you sell
Starting point is 01:04:11 a gift? Did you turn around? Or did you catch someone out doing it? You can let us know on 3-3-4-3. Teakston or give a score 0800-the-edge. What's the time frame on selling your gift? Let's go to a What do you think the timeframe is with how long you have to hold onto something before you can resell it? I think three months is a really good time because it's kind of they've forgotten about it by then. Three months?
Starting point is 01:04:35 Three months to Stella. This is a year on and I have not forgotten about it. I'm a really picky gift. Like every Christmas I'll just kind of tell people what I'm keen on. I hate surprises. But if it's like something that I know I won't use, I'd rather it go to a good. at home. Oh, see, that's nice. Estella, how many gifts have you resold?
Starting point is 01:04:57 Quite a few. The laugh says everything. Have you already flipped your Easter eggs on Marketplace, Estella? Oh, no, I love my Easter eggs. Okay, okay. So if we want to give Estella gifts, we give her Easter eggs, or we ask you for what her gifts are. Estella, have a great rest of your day, girl.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Thank you. Cheers. Okay, three months. No, I don't agree with that. Three months, we've got the text coming in. Someone says six months. Someone says, no, you can't sell gifts that someone's given you. You know what, Sov?
Starting point is 01:05:24 What, Sean? I'm going to take the revenge angle. No, no, no, no. She has sold a gift that I've given her. So I have right in front of me, I brought this in today. Recently, for my birthday, which was not too long ago, Jeannie gave me this lovely jumper. Oh my God, it's actually sick.
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's a really cool jumper. What are you doing? I'm going to give it away. I don't want it. I don't want it. She's going to sell a T-shirt that I've given her for her birthday. It goes both ways. Okay, well, firstly, can I have it?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Because it's actually cool. if you're giving it away to people that need things, I don't get gifts from partners. You can't have it. I mean, it'll be better if I gave it away on the radio. Oh, then I'm taking it from a listener. Yeah. So you really want to go revenge and give away this.
Starting point is 01:06:03 So to describe the jumper. Have it right now, yeah. It's like a little, it's like a woolen kind of vibe. It's got some sick patterns on it. It's blue, light blue. And you are just going to do this to spite your girlfriend. Mm-hmm. What if she asks?
Starting point is 01:06:15 Yeah, it's like a crewneck thing. What if she asks? Well, tell her I sold it. Oh, my God. Oh, let's make it or sell it. You can have it for a dollar. O-800 the Edge. Who wants it for $1?
Starting point is 01:06:23 Well, no, if you're giving it away, then the point is you say it's for free. Okay, I'll just lie and I tell her I sold it. I'll give it away right now. O-800-the-edge, the first person to call through can have this jumper that my girlfriend bought me for my birthday. Okay, who is this person here? 0-800-the-edge. Nigel, can you turn your radio down, brother? Thank you.
Starting point is 01:06:39 Yeah, hey, sorry, I didn't actually think I'll get through. No, Nigel, you were our first caller through. You were fast on this fingers, mate, and you have won yourself, Sean's jumper. Congratulations, Nigel. I'm sure my girlfriend Jeannie will be stoked that it's gone to a good home. And not only have you won Sean's jumper, but because Sean and I have taken over Edge Breakfast this morning, we have also taken their credit card,
Starting point is 01:06:58 which means we are buying every single caller that gets on here. Something from our vending machine. You have the choice number 605 or number 506. What would you like, Nigel? 506, please. 506, you have won yourself, a Twix spa. Woo! Okay, a twixt bar and a sentimental gift from my life partner coming to you this morning, Nigel.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Awesome, thank you. You're so welcome. What a stunning morning. Oh, she just texts me, just listening. Oh no, what does she say? What does she say? Are you in trouble? Is she angry that I called her an asshole?
Starting point is 01:07:35 I might not be. She didn't mention that. I might not be getting any gifts anytime soon. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. At Brulet. So if you want to explain this one, I'm incredibly nervous about the. concept. Sure. I get to spin a winning wheel, which is always my favourite time. We have got myself, Sean and producer Brock's name on the winning wheel. So we will see who gets drawn. And then
Starting point is 01:07:57 we have the other side of the winning wheel, which tells you what app you must open in your phone and reveal. Now on the winning wheel, we've got things like voice memos, last selfie, bank account balance, text messages, all very juicy stuff to find out about each other. Do you know what? Some of those are really embarrassing for me. I don't want you guys to see my bank account. It'll Repress everyone. How about just in case, like, it spun and we all didn't get a turn, how about we all agree we're going to do one each? Is that fair?
Starting point is 01:08:25 We're all going to do one each. Brock, are you okay with that? I guess I have to be, yeah. Okay, cool. Well, then Brock, let's go first. You are getting spun on the app, Rulet Will, and you must reveal a voice memo. Okay. Producer Brock, play us your last voicemailo.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Guess what it is. I reckon he's been trying to, like, come up with a song or a rap or something. Yeah, he's singing in it. I bet he's singing in it. All right, no, no, it's even better than that. Okay. I, um, I often come up with stand-up ideas. Oh. So I guess you'll hear one of my stand-up ideas, stand-up comedy.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Stand-up ideas number 34. Oh, my God. Stand-up ideas. Oh! The fact that you can tell how someone was brought up by the way they'll pour you a glass of Coke or water being a guest at their house. It's got to be something in
Starting point is 01:09:19 being the middle child. Yeah, I think it's like I'm a funny guy. Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, stop it there. It was no Kevin Hart. What do you think is funny about pouring a glass of water, sorry?
Starting point is 01:09:31 No, just the way you pour it will show to me how you were brought up as a child. Interesting. Yeah. Maybe stick to producing. Okay, I'm going to go next. Spitting the winning wheel. What do I have to reveal?
Starting point is 01:09:48 Oh, screenshot. Oh, dear. I don't know what. I tend to screenshot a lot. Pass the phone over. No, no chance for you to delete anything. I send a lot of, okay, here. I send a lot of memes to my friends.
Starting point is 01:09:59 That's the last screenshot. I'm so glad that was me. This is a screenshot from her Bumble. No. This is from So's Bumble. Oh, gosh. And she's screenshot that guy. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Who's about me says, Hi, I'm a half American, half Kiwi funeral director. And embalmer? Oh, yeah. He's going to do to that because he was like 23 and an embalmer. And I was very much like, that's a scary job for a 20-something-year-old. Like, right. You don't think because I'm dealing with dead bodies every day?
Starting point is 01:10:28 Do you reckon they'd come home smelly? Well, that's what I was curious about. Why did you screenshot it? Well, I sent it to my friend to be like, is this a red flag? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's, yes, a red flag. Okay. Sean, you're up next.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Last one, let's see. We're playing at Prudette while we fill in for Clint Megan Dan. It is notes. Read us what your notes app says. This is funny because it's actually along the lines of what Brock was saying. If great minds think alike, I've never ever tried stand-up comedy, but for the last five years. What is with you guys thinking stand-up comedy is for you?
Starting point is 01:11:01 Because I think everyone looks at it and goes, because it's something anyone could do. Okay, well, if you got my phone, can I read it? Yeah, this is a list of ideas that I think are funny. Every time I think something's funny and could be a bit, I write it down on there. To be fair, I've given ideas to other comedians before, are friends of mine. This is Sean's Notes at The Comedy Set.
Starting point is 01:11:19 Opening a Velcro wallet in a quiet Catholic church. Imagine how funny that would be. You know, east of Sunday. Everyone's doing communion. Jeez, you're showing me up here. Because I think I had the idea when they like send the jar around to collect money. I was like, what if you had a Velcro wallet? That would be funny.
