This is a podcast from Rover.
It's Sean and Sof, in for Clint, Megan Dan on the edge.
Morning, it is one minute away from six.
Sean and Soe, filling in for Clint Megan Dan today.
Morning.
How special to be back on Brecky.
We absolutely love this and hanging out super early in the morning.
Yeah, so Sof and I, we usually do a breakfast show on Saturday mornings.
Yeah, bottomless brunch.
If you have never heard of it, you are missing out.
It's a delectable, delicious catastrophe of chat.
If you've never heard of it, you have a regular sleeping schedule on the weekend.
Congratulations.
We've got a really, really fun show, though, planned today.
Don't lie, we haven't planned anything.
Hey, hey, now, I've gotten some stuff written down on a paper.
This comment says, Sof's Loose Nan.
I feel like that's exciting.
Wow, I'd stick around for it.
Also, you can win $400.
Oh, that actually, that one is planned, and that one is exciting.
So 8 a.m., if you are really good at naming the artist to songs,
then make sure you are listening out because you can win that $400 bucks.
And we've got movie passes to give away.
Exactly.
And coming up later this hour, I have some exclusive audio of Kylie Jenna's PR team deciding that she should date Timothy Charlemagne.
No one else in the world has this.
This is a crazy scope.
I'll let you know.
A lot of a disguise is how I got there.
Okay, okay.
I'll let you run with this.
And the coffee catch up coming up next.
What do you mean?
Let me run with it.
This is journalism.
You do you, boo.
Sean and Sofe.
for the coffee catch up. Morning, Sof.
Oh, morning. I love sitting in our
wee cafe with the jazz music and
catching up on all things. Pleasant
trees. Uh, an
latte, please. We get
nothing here. Dos quassant.
I don't know who you think you are, but we're
not the regular breakfast team. We will not get coffee.
He's still not going to get you a coffee.
Dos croissant. Thank you, Brock.
I have something to bring up, and it happened
to me last night, so I went out
I went out for a drink with someone. How exciting.
And I was walking back to my car.
and we were quite a distance away from my car
and I got out my little clicker
I've got one of those
be-b-b-b-b-b-b-things, you know?
You mean your key?
Well, yes, but...
But it's electronic from a distance
so it goes, br-b-b-b-b-b.
And he goes, he goes to me,
put it to your head
and you'll be able to do it from further away.
And I went, ah, I'm not silly, sir.
This is ridiculous.
Like, I know that's not a thing.
My name is not gullible.
I'm not doing it.
And he goes, let's have a little experiment.
Try unlock him.
your car from here. So I tried just regularly. Didn't unlock. I put the clicker to my head. I kid you not,
the car unlocked from further away. What is this baffling technology? And I was like, no,
this isn't a thing. So we did it again. I walked to a different side of the street further away.
Tried it just in my hand. Clicked it. Nothing. Put it to my hand.
Clicked it. My car unlocked. Am I the only one that's ever experienced?
Brock, producer Brock saying this is a thing.
I've never heard of this.
I used to have one of these cars as well.
Is it a thing?
Yeah.
I got told that when I was quite young and I do it all the time with my car.
When it's not unlocking, I'd do it to my head and boom.
What?
Okay, anyone listening, is this a thing?
You can text in on 3343.
But I was baffled and I cannot figure out if it is a real thing
or I am being trolled by this dude.
Yeah, I mean, that sounds, you have been known to be slightly gullible at times.
Yeah.
I would say he was taking the piss, but it worked.
But it worked twice.
I think it needs to be something
that we myth bust on this show.
Producer Brock?
I was told that was because it was in the line of sight
and that's why I was up to my head
that the car is in the line of sight
so that the range.
Oh, okay.
I was told it was because we have like liquid material
in your head and like electricity travels faster
through liquids.
Oh for goodness sake.
I was told it's because the earth's flat.
The higher you get the...
Don't be stupid, Sean.
Someone text through and says it's legit.
This is the thing.
Hey, you can join the chat any time this morning, by the way,
by texting through 3343.
I'm going to have to try that.
Okay, we'll test it out.
Soif, did I tell you that I'm going,
I mean, I've definitely talked about this
because I won't shut up about it.
I'm the person who, when I'm going on holiday,
I'll tell you for a month before and then two months after.
Oh, wait, let me guess.
Are you going on a holiday with your girlfriend to the island?
That's exactly it.
And an impeccable Sean impression.
Thank you.
Might I say.
Yeah, I'm going to Fiji with Jeannie's family.
and I've bought us merch
Oh you would
I bought us matching hats
Okay that's better than matching t-shirts
I was going to go for t-shirts but they're too much money
Yeah they are expensive
Type of hat
Trucker hat
Oh no I love a trucker hat
Okay
And because the surname's Grace
On the front of the trucker hat I'm getting printed
Grace Gang Take Fiji
2023
No
No no I quit
But that's the joke
No we've been here for 10 minutes
I would like to leave
Can I leave in my contract?
Don't.
That's what her mum said.
You could have had such a cool thing, like amazing graces, you know, or something like that.
Oh yeah, because that's better.
The Edge with Sean and Sofi Edge.
Talking about AI right now.
Oh, okay.
Hey, Sophie.
Sorry, might need a robot to do your job if you can't turn on my damn mic.
We're talking about it because it's getting more and more prevalent online.
And people are just now taking the mick with what they're making artists do.
So if you haven't heard of this, a semi-examination.
Eventually, AI can create any song using an artist's voice, and it sounds so legit.
So there's this guy on TikTok called The Ghost Writer, and he writes a lot of music, actually for celebs.
He has now ended up writing songs essentially for himself and getting artists from AI to make the music.
There's one song in particular, which has gone so viral.
It has millions and millions of views that Drake himself wants it taken down, and labels are trying to come for them because they've used Drake's voice.
this is the song here and it's so legit.
So this isn't actually Drake?
No.
It's written on a lot.
That's pretty much.
That could be Drake. You can't feel me. It's gotten so good.
And when it did start, it was kind of like, oh, you can kind of tell it's a computer.
Yeah.
So now people are going all out.
There's one of Ariana Grande doing a Drake song, and people are like, oh, we want new music from Ariana Grande.
She's not singing anymore.
So we just do this.
And I'm not all my wasting shoddy.
I do it how you say you want it.
And does they just want to take my money.
They don't want me to get me.
That's a sick.
That sounds a little bit more fake than the Drake one.
Okay.
The Drake one sounds legit.
Then the last week has been Kanye.
Now Kanye, he is just, he's in a little world at the moment.
So people are trying to bring some light to him.
This is Kanye singing bubbly.
It's been late for a while now.
It's stunning.
He would hate this so much.
Oh yeah.
And I love that.
And then did you know, actually, Kanye featured in a high school musical.
Did he?
Yeah, he did.
And then finally, you know, you can't really beat an Adel song,
but you obviously can when you get Kanye to sing it via AI.
That you'll settle down at you.
I just am baffled by this technology.
Kanye singing novelty songs is my new favourite.
be a segment on the show.
Kanye's singing a novelty song every morning.
It sounds like Kanye smiling, which is just such a wholesome moment.
If you want to see the high school musical one, it's Kanye and Drake.
The Drake bit is a bit shaky, but you can check it out yourself.
You just text Drake to 3343.
Edge with Sean and Soche.
Time for the quick drawer.
We just had a practice at this.
You did take out question number one, but I'll let you know now as a friend.
I was letting you in on it so you'd like, you know.
And I'll let you know as a friend.
You are going to eat my dust.
Yeah, but you know when you play a game with a friend, you don't want to just, like, beat them out.
Yes, I do.
Because then they don't want to destroy them.
Have you met me?
I am so competitive.
I am one-nill up, okay?
Is that how this works?
No, no, we start from scratch.
First of four, Brock gives us a question.
It is the quick draw, so it's the, who's got the fastest mind, the fastest wit, and can say the answer the quickest.
Question Master, hit us with question number one.
All right, you ready, cowboys?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Play along at home, by the way.
See if you can beat us.
First question.
Name something you would find.
in the produce section of the supermarket.
Cucumbar.
Cucumbar.
I liked the way I said broccoli more than you, though.
It's not...
You don't get a point for saying it.
You don't get finesse points?
No. That's a shame.
All right, question two.
Name a Pixar movie.
Up.
I was about to say up as well.
Boom, one each.
One more, baby.
Okay.
Question three.
Name a ginger artist.
Ed Sharon.
Oh, Shawnee.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Two one.
Who else is there?
Florence in the machine.
Who's another ginger artist?
No, I can't think of any.
One more ginger artist.
I just need one.
Damn it, okay.
All right.
Question four.
Name a town in the South Island.
Queens Town.
I said mine was longer, but I said the quip beginning.
I think Sof did win.
I think I just had a hundred tea.
I definitely said...
I look to my video ref.
Ash is saying me?
And she's saying Sean.
Ash, I've just actually spoken to you.
off air saying I'm going to bring you breakfast on
Friday morning and this is how you repay me.
I'm so in fairness, I'm a fair judge.
Well, I'm getting personal, baby.
Wait, so what's that 3-1, right?
Yeah, please no arguing with the video ref.
So one more and I win.
Yes, one more.
One more and I beat Sof.
Hmm. The prediction might come true here.
One more in Sof losers.
Question five. Name
a chip flavour.
StarCreper Times.
The comeback is coming.
All right.
Question six. You need these last two, Sophie.
Okay, I got them, I got them.
Name a Lewis Capaldi song.
Forget me.
Somebody you love.
Forget me.
Not done.
Fastest hand in the West, Sov.
You didn't use your hands at all for that game.
It was entirely mouth and brain-orientated.
Oh, don't be a sore loser.
Ash, I'm not bringing you breakfast on Friday morning.
No, I really want breakfast, so.
I am.
The edge.
And so breaking newsfully as well.
Yeah, you may have heard over the internet the last couple of days
this rumoured relationship between Timothy, Shalameh and Kylie Jenner,
which when it first was rumoured, which I remember was over the weekend,
the edge group chat was talking about it.
And everyone was going, this is wild.
This is just a publicity thing.
Since then, it has been confirmed that they are seeing each other.
They've been noted out on dates together, leaving the same location,
which all seems a bit just odd.
The fact that they were both at Coachella, but they weren't with each other.
Yeah, and just seeing sort of, you know, they always say the devil works hard, but
Ma'amager, Chris Jenner works harder.
And I think this could be one of those things where she is just out there trying to get Kylie Jenner in with Gen Z.
Well, a lot of rumours have been floating around this, so.
Is it real?
Is it a PR stunt?
I have the answer for you right now.
I have exclusive audio of Kylie Jenna's team in the boardroom decided.
who she should date next.
Yeah, I just don't know how you got this
and that's what I'm concerned about
because I am quite not gullible
but I am excited about this.
You know what I mean? I follow the story.
Yeah, but I'm a bit concerned
about what this is about to be.
All right, here is exclusive audio
for the first time of Kylie Jenna's team
in the boardroom.
Right.
Deciding that she should date Timothy Shalameh.
Welcome to the boardroom meeting
discussing Kylie Jenner's relationship
and how we can get her back into tabloids.
Any suggestions of who she could date next?
Ah yeah, I've got a suggestion. Maybe she could date Pete Davidson off the back of the Kim K thing.
That'll get her back in the headlines. Yes, so Pete Davidson van is good. Could be a rather predictable doll.
Oh, I've got no idea. Frank Ocean. Frank Ocean, you know, playing Coachella. That could be a big one.
Oh, Frank Ocean, yes. I'm not sure he would go for it.
Oh, I've got a suggestion. Maybe Miley Cyrus, you know? Bit of Girl on Girl, that'd get her back in the headlines. Lesbians are in, right?
Or Miley Cyrus, yes, we could push that. Oh, I know. Timothy Charlottie.
He's like the hottest thing right now. Timothy Shalema. I think that's the one.
Oh, I see. Yes, this is the one. We will pitch.
Timothy Shalameh to Kylie Jenner.
Me too.
Wow. Exclusive audio. How did I get that? Amazing. And an irrefutable proof that is all a PR stunt.
How come her PR managers is from Sweden?
Yeah. Well, that's where all the best PR managers are from.
How come all the people in the boardroom sounded just like you?
Well, I don't know.
How many people are in the boardroom?
What a strange, strange coincidence.
You know what?
It is definite now.
I don't think anyone can argue the fact.
It is a PR stunt.
We have the proof.
I am just curious how long this will last
and what the next move from that PR team will be.
What?
I mean, my only Sarah,
seem like a good option if you ask me.
Oh, goodness.
Yeah, that would have been fun.
Frank Ocean, I also love that option,
but definitely not the way he would go, you know?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, I mean, he's into guys, right?
Yeah.
But once again, it would make the headlines.
Sean, stick to your day.
It wasn't me.
Okay.
That was exclusive audio.
If you want to go with that, let's go with that.
Feeling Dusty?
We've got you.
Sean and Sophie.
The edge.
Talking would you rather, so if you reckon you've got the hardest would you rather question ever.
Yeah, it's definitely one that's going to leave you pondering and I think applies to regular life as well because it's a situation you can find yourself in.
Sometimes you listen to a would you rather and they're so elaborate and far-fetched.
You're like, this is fun to play, but it will never apply.
Like this one here, would you rather fight a horse-sized duck or ten duck-sized horses?
Exactly. You'll never actually find a duck-sized horse, so it's kind of irrelevant. However, this next one, I'm going to put to the jury, if you want to weigh in as well, 3343 is our text number, you can text us. Sean, this was from the lads, the inspired unemployed in Australia, and this was the would you rather that stumped them.
Spend two years with your soulmate before they die, or a lifetime with someone that you settled for.
Would you rather spend two years with your soulmate, and then that's it? You have to be.
to live the rest of your life without them or have a lifetime with someone that you settle for.
Wow.
That is hard.
What are the parameters around that?
Like once your soulmate passes, can you then settle for someone else?
Or no, you've got to be single forever.
That's it.
You don't have that companionship.
But you get the two most incredible years of your life with what would be your soulmate.
All right, I'll answer this first.
I would go for soulmate.
Yeah.
And the reason is, I love being alone.
So I could be single comfortably.
that's not an issue for me.
I know other people are relationship people
and they would probably opt for the set of one.
I would go two years of my soulmate, absolutely,
and then solo.
What about you?
It is tricky, hey,
because the conversation that they ended up having
was when you get older in life as well,
that companionship ends up being
not necessarily the crazy love
that you get when you're young
in the excitement and the butterflies and everything.
So having someone there to go through and live through
is probably better than nothing.
So I think they ended up saying settle.
Wow.
One of them said settle, one of them said never settle.
I personally, I'm of a similar vein to you.
Like I've lived alone for a lot of my life.
I think if I could have two years with a soulmate
and experience that.
But then imagine when that's over, how gutting life will be.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so hard.
Get a cat.
I'm going to lock in.
10 cats?
I'm going to lock in Soulmate for two years.
But we want to know from you.
Let's get a diverse of opinion.
Let's see what everyone else thinks.
The hardest would you rather.
Two years with your soulmate or a lifetime with someone you settle with.
3343 is the text number.
You can give us a call, 0,800 the edge.
Now, a lot of texts coming through on 3343, you can weigh in.
This person that has texted in and says, I will settle for you, Sophie.
I am both offended and also appreciate it.
Would you rather them say, Sophie, give me my soulmate for two years, then see you?
Well, yeah, I would.
Rather someone be like, you're my soulmate, then I'll settle for you.
How rude, but let's go to the phones.
Callum on 0-800 The Edge, what do you reckon, mate?
Two years with your soulmate or a lifetime with someone you settle with?
No, I reckon you've got to have two years with your soulmate.
Yeah, amen, Callum.
I think the same, bro.
But you're happy being single, though, because there's a lot of single time at the end of that.
My job entails me to be away from home a fair bit, so you can make what it is.
but now definitely two years of your soulmate
because you can be stuck in a lifetime
of being unhappy too late
yeah and at least you know what
if you have at least two years of bliss
that is doing bloody good
well Callum enjoy your lovely work day today
thank you very much guys
enjoy
cheers Colin appreciate it mate
let's go to Mike on 0800 the edge
team soulmate or team settle
oh soulmate 100%
soulmate 100%
what about the thought though
that you will be like
without companionship for the rest of your life?
Well, just imagine
maybe they're chewing annoys you day one
a lifetime of that
and of compromise.
You'd want to murder them. You'd want to end it
straight away. So, um,
yeah, no, two years is enough.
Yeah, that's a settler as well.
A loud chewer? And that's not
a soul, Mike. While you're here, Mike, I was wondering if I could put
a couple more, would you rather questions out there?
Oh, to Mike? Yeah. Okay. To Mike.
We'll just, we'll just see what he thinks.
All right, Mike, would you rather
This is a ridiculous question.
Would you rather vomit on your hero
or have your hero vomit on you?
Oh.
Easy.
Vomit on my hero.
Really?
So who is it?
Like Dwayne the Rock Johnson?
You're just going to go, ugh.
So I hadn't actually thought about the person,
but they'll just make a better story at the end of the day.
No, come on, Mike.
If your hero vomits on you, say he's really famous,
you can charge them so much for your clothes.
Just be like this was thousands of dollars
And then you make them pay for the damages
Well, they'd never be my hero after that
And so you never want to meet your heroes
But I can still idly them after of, I've omitted on them
So if goes, yeah, let's sue them
My hero
Oh, Mike, cheers for your cool, mate
We've got to go to this next person
Because our producers have got them on the phone
Adam, morning, welcome to the show
Would you, just back to that original question
Would you settle
Or would you date your soulmate for two years?
No, I'm still settled
Now Adam
The reason we've got you on
Is you were the one that texts through saying
I'll settle for you Sophie
I am offended by this Adam
Why do you think I am settled
Don't be offended
What is it about so...
Don't be offended
It wasn't in a bad way
It was in a more caring way
Oh I'm so
I'm so flattered
That you would want to settle with me
For a miserable lifetime
No it wouldn't be miserable
I listen to you every day, you normally in your day's sober.
There's always everyone gives you riving about being single,
and you even put it in there yourself.
So I thought, well, how about give Sophie a bit of love today?
Oh, cheers, Adam.
It has made my morning.
You're an absolute sweetheart.
Jesus, match on hand, right?
Not on the radio.
Have a beautiful rest of your day, Adam.
Man, okay, I think we've got to the bottom of that.
Everyone wants their soul mate, except Adam, who's happy to have me.
I don't think that there's someone in New Zealand who has a cooler nana than Sof's.
Your nana had like,
A raucous 80th over the weekend.
Yeah, it was wild.
So she threw her own surprise 80th birthday.
Now, she threw a surprise party for herself.
Well, no, for us.
So she planned it all alongside my mum, who I had no idea, was involved.
We showed up to my mum's house Saturday morning, and my nana had, oh, so she's, let's start
with, she's on Facebook Messenger.
She's 80, and she's on Messenger.
She calls it the blue wave, because that's the image that goes on her phone.
And so she'll say, I've sent you a message on the blue wave.
please check it.
So I do.
This was a couple months ago and she says,
you need to be free on this date and pack an overnight bag.
Just a small item or like maybe clothes, maybe one dress and just some stuff to sleep in.
I was like, okay.
But strange, maybe we're having a big sleepover at her house.
Bearing in mind, she lives in a tiny cottage and Walkworth.
So I was like, but weird to fit 10 of us there.
Get to my mom's house.
She has saved her entire life for this 80th birthday.
She had got us tickets to Wellington,
which is we've never done anything like this.
We get to Wellington.
She's already there like,
ha ha ha, surprise!
We're doing a birthday weekend for my 80th.
She then whips out a humazine.
A big black humazine rolls around the corner
and she, in her little tupperware containers,
she has a little icy bag,
brings out individual cheese cracker boards that she's made for...
In a tupperware container.
Yeah, so it's for myself and my brother.
and our cousins, so quite like a small group.
So wholesome.
So yeah, we're rocking around in this big black hummazine.
If you saw that on Saturday night in Wellington,
that was my 80-year-old nan who had organised and, like, rented that out.
We went out to a restaurant.
We had a whole lot of wine.
She had like a little slideshow of her life and told us all these stories of when she was young.
But she is 80 years old.
That's so sad.
And rep in a Hummer limousine and this night out in town.
And it got me thinking, you know what, if you make it to that age and you are still doing cool stuff,
round of applause to you. I want to be 80
and doing cool shit. That is
so dope.
Honestly. 80 years old. Humazine. Some shampers.
Oh, we love it. Did you get on the Voddy Red Bulls?
No, strictly wine. We fancy occasion.
The funny thing was when I was telling a maid about this Monday when I came into work,
he's like, now, oh, did you have to, you know, like help her into the limousine?
Did she stay up? And I was like, my nan goes to like the snow.
She is out in the wilderness, like chopping down trees.
She's 80 years old.
She's just like battling away doing our own thing.
And it got me thinking, I want to know from you on 33433.
You can text in or give us a call on 0800 The Edge.
Tell us about your cool grandparents.
Yeah.
What do they do?
Join the chat.
Does anyone have a cooler old person in their life than Sof's Nana?
Yeah, to be fair, it doesn't have to be your grandparent.
If it's like a cool neighbor that still rocks out on their drum kit at, you know, 80 years old.
Plays in like a cover band.
Oh, I want to meet an old person that's like skydiving.
I want to meet an old person who's like skydiving.
I want to meet an old person who's like.
like a black belt in jiu-jitsu and still like fights people.
Okay, this would be iconic. Get texting 3343 or give us a cool 0800 the edge.
We've got some movie passes.
Cool old people. I am just, I'm loving these old people stories coming in.
A hummusine for the 80th.
I know. That's iconic. Some of these texts though, this one here, my nana Pam was 80,
went to the V-dub dealership, ordered a brand new V-dub polo. Had to get it from the factory,
wanted it bright red with all the whistles.
Pam is such... It's coming from Germany turbocharged, baby.
Can we get that lowered?
It's stunning, hey.
Can we put some spinners on it?
Oh my God, this is so cute.
My 79-year-old mum caught almost a 200-kilo blue marlin.
The names as well, Lois.
Is her name?
Pam's the other name.
Oh, so good.
All right, let's go to the phones.
We've got Nathan joining us.
Nathan, what does your old cool person do?
So we've got a boxing coach out south,
and he's in his late 70s
and he'll still jump up on the pull-up bar
with the ankle strapped on
and do vertical sit-up.
What?
And he can pump out more than all the boys in the gym
and we're all early 20s.
Oh my God, that's iconic.
He's nuts.
Wow, and he's still, like,
jumping in the ring and, like, do inspiring and stuff with you guys.
Yeah, yeah, he holds the pads for everyone in the gym.
He probably goes the hardest out of everyone in the gym
and he does, like, voluntary work during the day,
like chopping wood and it's just out the gate.
What's the secret, I?
I want to ask all these old people what their secrets are.
Nathan, that's Epic.
Thank you so much.
Let's go to Sam from Walkworth.
Now, mine is from Workworth,
so I'm assuming you've also got some cool old people stories from there.
Oh, yeah, I do.
My grandma went paragliding of Coronet Peak last year.
What?
Off the summit.
That is so sick.
Does she have the full get-up, the jumpsuit?
The goggles?
Oh, nearly, but hit the ice bars after, definitely.
Yeah, get it, Nan.
So paragliding off the summit of Corvette Peak, how old was your grandma?
77.
77.
Amazing.
Iconic.
Thanks so much for calling through Sam.
This is making me feel like in my 20s, I need to do more.
You know?
There's all these.
This one here, this text came through.
My 88-year-old grand did a tequila shot at my parents' birthday, completely out of the blue.
Imagine Nan just heading up to the bar.
like, y'all, let's have a tequila shop, baby.
Oh, this is so good.
This one, my grandmother skydived Byron Bay.
She was 84.
Had to get a medical certificate to do it.
Wow, to do some skydiving.
Should we go one more phone?
Yeah, one more, one more call.
Okay, let's go, Katrina.
Katrina, what is your cool old person doing?
My Nana is nearly 91,
and we decided to go to Melbourne to see her daughter over there,
and we had a nice early morning flight,
and I said, oh, look, Nan, when you come with me,
it's compulsory to have champagne at the end.
airport. She was totally down with it.
So we had champagne at 6 in the morning.
Or at she 5.30. We had to wait for the bar to open.
Then we got on the plane. Same thing. We had champagne there.
We jumped off. We went all around the direct factory outlets.
And she's 90.
Live by herself, active as she is just absolutely an inspiration.
That's iconic.
Now we're going to go first class next time.
Yes. I love that.
Yeah. Yeah, Nanny getting steamed in the departure lounge.
Why not? Oh, Katrina. That's epic. Thanks so much for calling through.
And thanks so much for all your texts coming through on 3343.
This is making me just so, like, so happy.
And thanks so much to all the old people who are still being legends out there.
Yeah.
We should be legends when we're old, I think.
We should be legends now.
Definitely not the worst.
Sean and Sophie.
It's time for app roulette.
This is a brave segment to play on the radio at the summer day.
This makes me incredibly nervous.
How it works, we've got this big old spinning wheel in the studio.
We're each going to go around and spin it and then reveal something about ourselves.
Now, on the app wheel, we've got screenshots, dating apps, messenger, your last selfie, voice memos.
So we're really going to get personal.
All things that you don't want anyone else to see on your phone, let alone a lot of people listening to the radio.
So, Sean, would you like to kick us off?
Well, no, but yep.
Okay, we're going to have a little spin of the wheel.
It's screenshots.
Screenshots. You want to see what my last screenshot is?
Yes, please. Hand over that phone.
This could get me in trouble.
Okay.
Let's see.
Oh, no.
What is it?
it. Let's have a look.
This is going to need a lot of explanation.
Here you go.
That's my last screenshot.
Oh, dear Lord.
Okay.
So the screenshot is of a cartoon-generated Emma Watson with, like, it looks like armor and not her breasts.
Okay.
So hear me out.
What is going on here?
Okay.
So Harry Potter is getting a refresh by HBO Max.
I'm a big Emma Watson guy.
I can tell.
I would say that the Order of the Phoenix was my sexual awakening.
Oh dear Lord.
So I've recently rediscovered and rekindled my fandom for Emma Watson.
And if you search like a celebrity that you're into and then AI,
there's like AI versions of photos of them.
And I screenshot of that because I thought it was funny.
It's like Emma Watson Tomb Radar Edition.
How hot though.
No.
All right, spin the wheel.
Okay.
Let's go, Brock.
Oh, no.
Can have...
Right, broccoli.
Your Google search history.
Oh, this is going to be horrible.
What was the last thing that you Google searched?
No, can we play this on the radio?
Yeah, yeah.
Is it appropriate?
Oh, no.
What is it?
Well, do you know my last two, because they kind of fit together?
Yes, please.
Okay.
All right, the first one was, is it normal for your belly button to smell?
Ron!
Because sometimes I'll put my finger in there.
Oh my gosh.
I've just made a coffee.
This is disgusting.
But then the second one, which is kind of a throw-off,
that maybe I must have been in the same mindset,
was what smells attracted the opposite sex?
Not your belly button, bro.
So I don't know.
I must have been in a smelling mood.
You're about to just put your finger in your belly button
and then maybe use it as collo.
That's what the butt is.
If I put my finger on my belly button, would you smell it?
Ooh!
No!
Yeah, go on, would you, Soph?
No, maybe.
What?
Alright, we're not spinning the wheel anymore.
Brock, hit around the desk,
put your finger and your belly button,
and then Sof have a walt.
It's just that I'm curious, but what if it's really gross?
Only one way to find out stuff?
Yeah, last time I checked it was all right.
Okay, oh my God, why are we doing this?
Okay, Brock, did you shower this morning?
Yeah.
Okay, that's good.
So I'm only doing this in the name of science
is because you guys know I love a myth bus.
I don't want to look at this.
So you do it, did you do it already?
Do your thing? Okay.
Oh, I don't want to...
Okay, that doesn't actually smell too bad.
You don't smell too bad.
There you go, answered the Google.
Did you want to spin one for yourself, so?
Okay, sure. Let's go.
Notes app.
Oh, goodness me.
Notes app's a good one.
A lot of private things go in the Notes app.
Notes off...
It's always concerning.
Okay, I've got a one-pinned note,
which is all my ideas for radio,
which we're not going to go through
because there are some very random stuff.
The next note app just says date night.
And then it just has one idea and it goes,
cheap versus expensive wine.
That was my date night idea.
Wait, so you buy a cheap bottle and an expensive bottle,
and you try them buy it.
I think so.
I think that's what I don't really recall writing that down,
but that was my idea for a date night.
Would you guys be into that?
Yeah, I'd be okay.
Let's do it.
I think it would be interesting
because you could like sort of talk shit about the expensive one.
If you did blind taste test.
Why does no one date me?
This would be great.
Hey, can you joke us a croissant?
The edge.
With Sean and Sophie.
The edge.
Sof, do you think looking at a celebrity on their Instagram and seeing who they've followed recently
is a good way to see if they're dating someone?
Ooh, great question.
Actually, I love a follower list stalk.
It's so intriguing to see who's following who.
especially these celebrities who have like they follow 10 people.
Yeah.
And then they start following another person.
And it's someone their own age,
who's maybe the opposite sex.
I think whether or not they're dating,
it's definitely like they are in each other's lives in some capacity.
Maybe they're talking,
maybe they're on a new movie together,
maybe they're friends.
I think if they are one of those people who do follow so few
and then suddenly another very famous celebrity is in there,
there is some reason that they are connecting.
Well, it's going kind of all over Twitter,
morning.
Zach Ephron has
refollowed
Vanessa Hutchins.
Oh my God, my childhood dreams are coming true.
Famously.
Sing it with me.
They were in our high school musical.
They dated together.
We're sorry.
Flying.
How good would that be
if they got back together?
I was sure.
Does Vanessa Hutchins engaged though?
Hold on.
No, I think she was dating a basketball player
and then it didn't work out.
Oh my gosh.
Because I remember recently she was in the news after walking past Austin Butler at that event, you know, because she used to date Austin Butler.
And there was this awkward run-in.
Okay, so she was dating Cold Tucker, but they're not sure.
It says they were engaged.
Maybe they're still engaged.
But either way.
Celebrity engagements, that's like date three, man.
Either way, the fact that, oh my God, that would be the cutest thing ever.
Zach Eifron.
Sing up.
Yeah, and this one has to be the song
They walked down the aisle to at the wedding as well.
Sean and Sof.
Scandal.
Okay, just quickly, we were talking in the news,
there was a story that Stephen Adams was voted second in some poll,
but we weren't told what poll.
He didn't name the poll.
No, I've just done, and we had a bit of speculation,
and we were saying, like, biggest dude, like scariest guy.
We were right, so I went and Googled it.
Stephen Adams, fellow NBA players voted him the second toughest in the league,
the least wanting to fight.
them kind of person.
It was all that playing rugby in Rotterua growing up
up, I think. He looks like the Hulk. So there you go.
Stephen Adams, second toughest
in the NBA. But let's get onto the scandal
and we are talking Ed Shearren. Now, he
has been performing on his world tour.
We were lucky enough to have him in Altaire
not too long ago. He jumped up
on stage and revealed
something to the crowd
over the night about a song
he got a little bit tipsy on one night
and accidentally gave to a different
artist that he wished he'd still kept.
So this is a song I'm going to play you that I wrote back in 2015.
It was meant to go and divide.
And I've got to be honest, I had a bit of a drinking session at my house.
And about 5 o'clock in the morning, you know, you're going to bed and check your emails.
And there was an email from this guy's manager being like,
Have you got any songs for this album?
And I was like,
sent a song and forgot about it.
And then like, they were like, oh yeah, we vocal it.
gonna go on the album and I was like, oh, I don't think I was meant to send that one.
But anyway, it was a hit.
All the times that you ain't my parade.
Wow, Justin Bieber, love yourself.
I knew that Ed Sherwin had written that song.
I didn't realize that he kind of accidentally gave it away.
Well, it was supposed to be his, like, headline solo song from Divide,
which was that album with the blue cover.
That's how I remember all of them.
And so when he woke up in the morning and realized that they'd sampled it,
he kind of was like, ah, yeah.
Bugger.
That probably should have been his song.
But, hey, I'm glad it's just out there in the world anyway.
Justin Bieber does a phenomenal job.
Ed Sharon, a sucker for trying to give away his songs as well.
Sorry, excuse me.
I know in his first documentary, he mentioned, or his manager mentioned,
that he tried to give away.
Really?
He tried to give it away.
He wanted to give it to Rihanna.
She was going to do it.
Which I think would work as well.
But then his manager was like, nah, man.
You can't give that.
So that was two songs from that album.
But to be fair, I think it's just because Ed Sheeran writes a phenomenal amount of songs.
But it kind of got us.
in Kingham we're going to talk about this next so feel free to start getting your
text in. What if you accidentally agreed to after a few lemonade.
Oh that's a good one. So many things. The amount of plans that are made at three in the
morning. Flight's booked, things bought. That you never actually want to happen the next day.
We'll talk about that next but that is scandal. You can win up to $400 with double a drop every
morning at 8 a.m with Clement McDade. The Edge with Sean and Sofe. Just talking in
scandal stuff about Ed Shearin kind of giving away one of his biggest songs when he didn't really mean to.
And you just mentioned that Channing Tatum had a similar incident where he had a few too many
lemonade's one night and agreed to a job that he sits regrets.
Yeah, you know the movie This Is the End?
That was a wild movie.
A lot of celebrity camey host.
The idea is Seth Rogen, James Franco.
They're all playing themselves.
The end of the world happens.
But there's a scene where Channing Tatum is like kind of,
one of the guys like pet.
Yes, he's on a lead.
It's very confronting to look at.
So we're talking about when you've agreed to things
when you've had a couple of lemonade.
I probably had too much a drink the night that I got this email
at like three in the morning from Seth Rogen.
He doesn't email me.
And he's like, hey, I hope this isn't insulting.
But we had this idea on the set for a cameo.
And it involves you, Danny McBride,
and a Mexican wrestling mask and a leash.
And I was just like, yeah, of course.
Yeah, I'll do it.
No problem.
and then ultimately had to actually go and do it.
And that was a terrible idea probably.
So brave.
Oh my God.
So like I just applaud the commitment to the follow-through.
And we want to know from you on 3343.
You can text in or give us a call right now.
0-800-the-edge.
What have you agreed to after a few too many lemonade?
What have you done?
We've got Lisa joining us on the phone.
Lisa, what have you done after?
What did you do on a big night?
Hey, a couple of girlfriends and I,
we ended up booking.
We live in Auckland and we ended up booking.
it's a flight to Blenheim.
I've always wanted to go.
So I was like, let's go on a girls weekend, and then we booked on the Airbnb.
So we booked that October last year, and we just did the awesome trip in March this year.
And I probably was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time.
Stunning.
I love that.
That's a great one.
Sometimes, you know, you just need that night out to give you the confidence to spend the money.
And then you actually enjoy the thing.
Yeah.
But it's better than spending money on something.
Yeah, we've got a bike wine tour, which was epic too.
It was really cool.
Oh my God.
That sounds so much fun.
And especially, I find, I don't know if you find this, Lisa,
when you're trying to organise like a girls' weekend away
or a friend's weekend, if you do it where you're planning,
someone's always busy or someone's, you know,
oh, well, we've got to do this and we can't do this.
Whereas if you're there together and you're like,
screw it, we're booking the flights, we're booking the Airbnb.
You're locked in.
Yeah, even booked a baby suit as too.
Lisa, you've done so well there.
Cheers for your call.
This text here, how do I read this on here?
Just do I censor it?
No, the...
Okay, agreed to...
Let's think.
Agreed to hang out with my mate and his girlfriend
in their bedroom.
Yeah.
Followed through with it.
They ended up breaking up and then I dated her for three years.
Something came out of that, I suppose.
Oh my God, what is this...
Yeah, agreed to buy all my girlfriends a...
The Missy Mini.
If you know, if you know.
Okay.
I bought one for my friend for her birthday.
And it drinks you told us how amazing it was, and we bought them for everyone.
Yeah, a lot of people making rash purchases.
I like this one.
A group of us signed up to the Oxford 100km walk.
I'd rather have the Missy Minnie.
So would I.
So if you and I have been friends for a long time...
Yes.
We used to do the night show here at the edge,
and then we do a bottomless brunch together every Saturday morning,
and no, we don't get food, and we're not pantless.
We just talk on the edge from 7am.
We also hang out, you know?
Oh, sometimes, yeah.
just as friends.
And one of my favorite things about you, Sof, is you, you seem like an intelligent person.
And you are.
Sorry.
You are an intelligent person.
That's not a compliment to say you seem intelligent.
But you say these things.
Okay.
You say these things that are like, you pull out these proverbial sayings that are almost
correct.
Yeah, yeah.
But they're not.
Like it's an old saying and you'll say it and you'll get half there.
And then you just kind of make it up.
but you say it with such conviction.
Well, that's the thing.
I think in my head I know exactly what I mean
and exactly what the saying is.
But sometimes when you're talking,
you just have to roll with what comes out of your mouth.
And that's what happens to me regularly.
I reckon just die on that sword.
Like, I know that one, like now if I think about it,
I know it's die on the hill, right?
I reckon just die on that sword.
But at the time, I was like, yeah, you know,
take the sword, die on the hill.
Just combine it all together. It'll be fine.
He's got my baby in his hand,
so we're going to go check what he's going.
going to do with it?
I don't even know where that one's wrong.
I don't know what that would mean.
But if you say a saying with conviction,
I've always believed this.
If you say anything with confidence,
people will just roll with it.
I remember one of the first shows I ever did with Sean.
We were talking about Justin Bieber and like whether or not he knew something.
And I just became a video,
but I was like,
if he slapped you in the face with a fish,
you still wouldn't know him.
And you just agreed.
It sounded like a proverbial saying,
which it wasn't,
but I'm going to test you so on some iconic saying.
I'm going to say the first half of it.
If you can finish it for me, please.
You can't make an omelet without...
Eggs.
It's right.
You can't make an omelet without scrambling some eggs.
No, wrong.
No.
Cracking some eggs.
Breaking some eggs.
Which one are you locking in?
Breaking some eggs.
Okay.
Well, yes, but you got there so late that I'm going to say no fail with that one.
The forbidden fruit is...
Sorry, it's the apple.
This isn't biblical
But it is
You're talking about
Am I smart or not
If you said to me in a sentence
The forbidden fruit is
I would say it's the apple
Based off Adam and Eve and the snake
No it's always the sweetest
Is the saying
Bite the
Don't say pillow
No at the tail of the snake
You know
Bight the at the tail of the snake
No
You bite the head off the snake
That's like
Use it in a sentence
Okay okay
Um, okay.
So I'm going for a job interview.
No, no, okay.
I'm going to break up with my partner.
I'm really nervous.
I've been putting it off for ages.
I just need to bite the head off the snake.
Is that right?
No, hell no.
Bite the bullet.
It's freshen.
All right, let's do one more.
What's a good one?
Oh, that's would be funny for you.
The squeaky wheel.
Okay, no, I'm going to get this right.
The squeaky wheel is.
Okay, it could either be the one that like turns.
So, you know, like the squeaky wheel is the one that turns or...
So all the other ones that aren't squeaky, don't turn.
Well, no, I mean more like if you're in a group setting, right, and you've got a squeaky wheel,
that's the liar.
That's the person that will turn on you.
So therefore, if we're in a room and Judas, Judas is a squeaky wheel.
Back to the biblical sense.
Wow.
Incorrect.
But I like where you went with that.
Where is it?
What is it?
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Hmm.
But the liar.
I shouldn't get grief.
That's not about that.
It's not about Judas.
They're not all biblical.
The Edge was Sean and Sophie.
Clint Megan Dance, Double or Drop.
Oh yeah, we play four songs.
If you correctly guess the artist of each song,
you double your cash, continue to build it.
When $400, booby, let's go to the phones.
Kieran, you will be getting a chance at double or drop today.
How you doing it, mate?
Oh, Kiotto Kato.
I'm doing well.
How are you?
Oh, I love that.
Great energy, great vibes.
What would you do if you got $400?
mate I would buy plane tickets down to Queenstown for my mate's 30th
Oh yes it's stunning
So have you been playing along at home this week man
Do you reckon you've got what it takes?
You're doing alright?
To be honest I really listen to the edge
But I'm going to back myself 100%.
You know what? Blind confidence is all you need in life
So how it works is we're going to play you four songs
If you can actually guess the song
You keep doubling your money, you start on $50
If you get it wrong, you will drop back to zero
And start again.
you get five seconds of each song.
Does that all make sense?
Sounds good.
Let's get him $400 so he keeps listening to The Edge every morning.
Let's crack into it.
And then maybe I can go to Wonica with him because I would quite like that.
Karen, let's play.
All right, so.
Hands off.
All right, Karen, five seconds.
Who is this artist?
Oh.
Karen, you didn't get that one?
No, I actually did.
My boy, that was Beyonce.
But that's okay.
You can still win up to $200 just say an artist next time.
All right.
Karen, who is this artist here?
Damn it feels so good on the other side.
The other side.
Six, six.
No.
Did I get there?
No.
And it also isn't six to 60.
Karen.
Oh, no, no.
That was Stan Walker.
Kieran.
And I would play drop.
That's Bruce for though.
He hasn't won anything.
No, okay.
That's right.
We're still on zero.
You can still win $100 if you get the next two correct.
Let's play song number three.
Let me take you.
Come on, Karen.
He's going to murder me.
Karen!
He sings his own name.
Jason, Rulo.
Come on.
Okay.
Karen.
Karen.
I'm so sorry.
I'm coming off the back of a night shift and my brain is not functioning.
Now I feel bad.
You know what?
I just hope that you get this last one for $50.
$50.
To make it all worth it.
Maybe you can buy it like a grab a seat,
flight leaving it 2 a.
You can buy a pocket.
host card from Warnaca.
Okay, let's go.
Who is this artist, Kieran?
So pack your bags, now put your white dress on.
Big, big, big.
No.
But I love his confidence in every Kiwi artist is 6'6 there.
Oh, it was Sons of Zion.
So unfortunately, Kieran, no cash for you.
But you know what?
I feel so bad that you were so terrible.
I'm going to shout you a double pass
to our must-see movie for you and your partner.
Okay.
Oh, how good.
It's consolation.
I love it.
Cheers, Karen.
With the price of movie tickets, they might be worth more than $50.
Yeah, you've done well.
Honestly, it's brilliant.
Okay, thanks, mate.
I want to say congrats, but there's nothing to congratulate there.
You know what? Congratulations for trying.
Sometimes getting up in life and just attempting is enough.
Feeling Dusty?
We've got you.
Sean and Sofe.
Sof, you've got a theory about relationships in the last couple years.
Yeah.
Look, if you are in the dating scene, if you are recently single or have been for a while,
I have a theory of how relationships are going nowadays.
Now, I've talked to a fair few number of my friends.
You know, we've got Katie from the office.
My cousin.
Okay, no.
What I'm more to me.
A guy that I went on a drink with.
I've discussed this opinion.
Was that a date drink?
I don't know.
Maybe a hangout.
I've discussed this theory and I think it's happened since lockdown.
And I would love to know other people's opinions on it and whether they find it prevalent as well.
but I have a theory that since we were in lockdown,
so since we've come out of it in the last year or so,
have a think about the single people that you know.
Has anyone that you know gotten into a committed,
we are boyfriend and girlfriend, we are boyfriend and boyfriend,
we are partner's relationship?
Because I do not think that since lockdown has ended,
anyone is actually getting into committed relationships.
it's all just dating in situations and no one is fully committing to a relationship.
Okay, now why do you think that would be?
If this is your theory that since lockdown, no one wants to commit to each other, what's the reason?
Okay, couple of reasons.
Firstly, if you think about all your friends and stuff in partnerships and relationships,
the people that have been together were already coupled up before lockdown.
So, like, they're all the girlfriend's statuses, whatever.
Since then, I think people are so scared of being,
stuck with someone or locked and committed to one thing that no one is committing to relationships.
Everyone is just going, okay, we're going to, we're going to date casually, we're too scared
to kind of dive into this, we'll just keep the options open.
I think also the fact that in lockdown we were so much more on our phones on social media,
the options are limitless.
You can talk to anyone anywhere in the world.
You could have a partner in France that you've never met that you just talk to all the time.
So no one wants to lock it down.
Now I get that this is your experience.
This is, yeah, this is my theory.
I met my girlfriend during lockdown and we've been dating three years and we live together.
But three years, that was sort of during the lockdown.
It was first lockdown.
Okay.
See, I think afterwards no one wants to commit.
And how long was it that you met her and then like committed to her?
For a couple months?
A couple months?
Yeah, before we committed.
All right, well, let's go.
Let's go to the polls.
All right.
3343.
Flick us a text or call 0800.
edge, let's see if Sof's correct in her hypothesis.
Well, I'd love to know your opinion.
Yeah, jump on the phone.
0-800 The Edge and see if you maybe are in the dating world and you're going,
holy crap, I'm experiencing this to a T.
I feel like I've gone on so many dates, but no one's committing.
Or you're sitting there going, actually, I found the love of my life in the last year and
we committed.
Let's put this theory to the test.
0-800-Eage, give us a call.
Sons of Zion right now.
We can even hook you up with a little double pass to the movies, so maybe you could take
that special or not-so-special for.
Definitely not the worst.
Sean and Sof.
Sof, you've got a very interesting theory on relationships post-COVID.
Yeah, I'm just putting the theory to the test and seeing other people's opinions
because maybe me and my friends are all just in the same vibe,
but I was saying that since lockdown and since COVID,
I don't think as many people are getting into relationships
because of several reasons.
First, I think people are too scared of commitment in being stuck somewhere.
And secondly, I think the fact that we are all on our phones
and on the internet so much more,
there's just so many options
and people are too scared to rely or lock with one person.
But I wanted to open it up and get people's opinions on this.
Interesting theory.
We've gone to the text line 33443.
You can let us know your feelings or call us 0800 the edge.
We're going to see what people think.
Party from Topor joins us in the show right now.
Party, what do you reckon?
I reckon that her theory is completely wrong.
Call me out, Paddy.
Why don't you?
Okay, hit me with the opposite then.
What do you reckon's going on?
Oh, so I met my partner a year after lockdown and ended and now we're married.
Wow.
Wow, that is a quick turnaround.
Yeah.
Okay, so what do you reckon, though, in terms of me saying like people are scared to commit or social media,
do you think that because of lockdown, you're more inclined to want to be with someone?
No, I think it's more just, like, to do with that, um, the would you rather that you put forward?
this morning. Like for me at least anyway, once I met my partner, I was just like, you're it.
Like, you know, she's made me happier than anyone ever had. And I think having that time
through lockdown on my own made me see it. Oh my God, Paddy, this is going to make me tear out.
This is actually making me believe in love again. What a beautiful story.
Thanks for your court, Paddy. Okay, let's go to Larissa.
Larissa, what do you reckon on this theory that I have?
I also reckon that it is 12.
Shit, did I just leave?
No, I want to hear from you.
What's your opinion on it?
Well, I reckon, like, I can obviously speak for my own personal opinion, but, like, I went through
lockdown on my own.
I was in a long-distance relationship, and obviously things did, obviously, fall apart.
But through that, I took a really big look at myself.
I went down a rabbit hole of therapy.
actually self-healing and discovering all these new things about myself.
So I actually met an incredible guy on New Year's Eve,
who I am considering is the love of my life.
We've both been through similar healing journeys
and the way that we connect is just incredible.
But the funny thing is we'd both sort of given up on the idea
of relationships so focused on ourselves
that when we just accidentally cross paths,
It was just like insane.
There was no expectations on anything,
but it just like blossomed and bloomed
and we're about to move in together.
And it's just like we've got full plans for our future.
There's no talk about like what is or not.
It's just like this is that.
We're both like considering and talking about like,
you know, this is our forever.
Forever person.
Amazing.
Incredible.
But like when you've done the inner work,
So nice to find somebody who can relate on that level.
It's just being fabulous.
Yeah, 100%.
I love that, Larissa.
That is so beautiful.
Let's just go through a couple of these texts.
I think a lot of people are coming at me.
This one here, sorry, so if you were dating the wrong people,
we got together after first lockdown.
It only took five days to be committed.
This one here, I matched with a partner during lockdown.
He moved in.
We're engaged.
However, there are a couple of texts that said,
I think, oh no, that one also says I think her idea is wrong.
A lot of people hitting on Sophie this morning.
Honestly, Ezra, I'd love to be stuck with you, Soph.
A couple other people asking Sof out.
This was not the idea of the bit.
This one says, I've been more happy single since lockdown.
This one here says my teenage daughter is finding it hard with Tinder.
Okay, so we've got Sof's opinion on the matter.
We've got the listeners opinion.
I've got a professional next, a relationship expert who's going to give us their opinion on your theory,
soif and whether it is actually accurate or not.
Now, I've put a theory out there to our listener pals in Altero.
My theory on love is that since lockdown,
I don't think people are getting into committed relationships.
Now, that is just my personal opinion,
but I have been blown away, but in the nicest way,
from everyone texting in and calling with their stories of love after lockdown.
This text here, I'm a committed relationship for a year.
Lockdown didn't scare us.
But I wanted to know from an actual expert, the psychology behind it,
and see if there is a reason or not,
people are no longer committing or whether they're more inclined to.
So this is something you've found with your friend group, right?
None of you have gotten to a relationship in the last three years.
Well, it's also interesting.
We've had some texts as well.
This one here, maybe it's different because I live in the US versus New Zealand.
But me and all my single girlfriends have found it a lot harder to date post-COVID.
We find more men ghost us and just want casual versus fully committed,
which is what I'm finding with my single friends too.
So we've got Sarah Chatwin.
She's a psychologist.
She's worked with us a bunch of times before to do with weddings we've had here at the edge in love life.
she specialises in this kind of thing
and we thought we'd ask her a few questions.
Sarah, welcome to the show.
How are you doing?
Oh, thank you guys.
I'm just hearing a little bit of relationship negativity there.
Not liking it, so?
No, look, I don't know.
I'm not going to say I've lost faith in it.
I just think what we were saying is, you know,
since lockdown, I think people are far less likely to commit.
However, some people are saying the opposite.
So what's your opinion on love since lockdown?
I love that you're theorising.
It means that you're using your brain so much, which is neat.
But, you know, that hypothesis is not totally, you know,
what I'm feeling and what I'm seeing through my practice.
I think that when we got out of lockdown,
we were just loving all the connectivity that we could have again.
And there's a lot of people out there that are so pleased
to be just getting out there and meeting new people.
And I have found that in terms of relationships and, you know,
committed relationships, the numbers have gone up.
and not necessarily down.
But I think perhaps, you know, it's about getting out there
and finding that special somebody.
There's a lot of people out there, both, you know,
looking for somebody special.
And I guess it's about making that connection
that you really want to take to the next level.
So for a lot of people, they might be being a bit picky,
but I still think love is out there to be found
and good relationships can happen.
Wow.
That's so interesting you say, though.
You know, the fact that we came out,
we connect with a lot of people.
how do you then find the difference of like
is this person just looking to be super social
and connects with lots of people
or is this something that I want to seriously pursue?
Well you know what?
So if you've got to sit down with those thoughts
you might even create a little bit of list
of a bit of a list of, you know,
what kind of things tick the boxes for you
because we all have different wants and needs.
And then we, you know, tend to gravitate.
We can gravitate towards people
who present as having that stuff that we want and we need.
and it's a really good exercise.
And you know what?
It's okay not to have anybody to be with in the here and now
because it does take time to find that special somebody
that really, you know, that is really meaningful to you.
So don't give up.
And so, one question, Sarah.
With Sof talking about this this morning,
there is an influx of texts from guys who are interested in dating.
So what would your professional opinion be on her messaging back randoms
who are texting a radio show?
You know, I think she had an agenda with this theory.
I think it was, you know, date school.
I know.
Very well done, Sophie.
I'm liking your stuff.
You and me both.
Hey, thanks so much for being on the show, Sarah.
I appreciate you.
My pleasure.
Bye, guys.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Sarah just thinks I've used my one opportunity on each breakfast to get a date.
So do I.
You all suck.
Follow up on this.
Hey, can you joke us a croissant?
The edge.
With Sean and Sophie.
The edge.
Scandal.
Scandal.
Side note there, if you didn't see the video of Rema performing at Coachella,
that he performed that song and he had to start it twice
because every time they started it, the crowd sung so loudly and so beautifully.
Like, he was standing there in just pure adoration.
And it's the most, you know, when you get goosebumps seeing something,
it was like he was looking out the crowd being like, I have made it.
And it was so beautiful.
You can text Rema, R-E-M-A- to 3-3-4-3, and I'll flick you that link.
But right now, we are talking Chris Evans, World Seventh.
Sexiest Man and Captain America.
Oh, that's why you're playing New York.
Yeah, the American thing.
I don't know if I agree with him being the world sexiest man.
Those ones are kind of interesting.
Paul Rudd won it last time.
Yeah.
Well, the interesting thing is he, so he was jumping in with Jimmy Fallon,
chatting all things, Sexiest Man, his new movie.
And they were saying, he was like,
everyone just gives him so much schick for being the sexiest man
that it just becomes a joke.
Like, he's in a group chat with Paul Rudd.
And Paul Rudd just makes the fun of him.
So every time someone, like,
becomes the word sexyest man.
man, it's like, welcome to the club.
He's like, no one's ever just congratulated me.
Everyone's like, oh, sexiest man, bruh.
But the thing that was most interesting about this interview is he talked about his job
prior to becoming a world famous actor.
He started as an intern in a casting company.
So the agency that gets actors into roles and does auditions and everything, what was fascinating
was he talked about the audition process.
So he's talking to Jimmy Fallon.
Jimmy Fallon ended up getting a role while this guy was, what's his name again?
Chris Evans.
Oh my God, I just mind blank.
Chris Evans was working at this casting agency,
and this is what would happen.
So you show up at your desk.
Old zero, hundred plus.
You got a...
I remember it.
A stack of envelopes from all these agents in town.
Head shots.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And your boss comes in,
and I don't want to get anybody in trouble,
specifically my old boss.
But she would pluck out two or three envelopes,
and I threw the rest in the trash.
She just chucked them,
and you're just like, wow, this industry is brutal.
So half the people,
if not more than half,
wouldn't even get looked at.
So if you had applied to a movie,
you'd send in your head shots or your casting tape,
they'd pick five from the bunch to look at.
Throw the rest.
Yeah, but I feel like that happened
when I was applying for jobs at Countdown growing up as well.
I just picked the top five off the pile
and then the rest of them, in the bin.
Don't you think that's just brutal though?
Yeah, but getting a job's brutal, so.
But think about it.
Like, don't you just then look at every single movie
you've ever watched?
You imagine Harry Potter.
Daniel Radcliffe was just one of the envelopes
picked from the pile.
There could have been 90 kids out.
there who were even better, if not more incredible in that role and they just never
ever got looked at.
Now you're right, it's a tough industry to get into.
I recently listened to a podcast with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon talking about their new
movie air and they both went to high school together.
So they met in the high school drama class and both decided to go and be actors and both
of their mum said, you guys aren't good at this, don't do it.
Oh, good on there.
You're not going to be successful.
Guys, don't go and do something you're smart.
Go and do something that'll make you money.
And now, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
They're pretty impressive.
He's with J-Lo.
Look at me now, Mom.
Sean and Sof
While we're filling in for the Edge Breakfast as well
Sof we thought we'd try and keep up the calibre of celebrities
that come through this show
Oh yeah we need some top dog guests
So Sean and I have settled on a challenge
called Celebrity Show and Tell
We every day we will try and get the most famous celebrity
That we possibly can to feature on the show
But of course because we are too competitive in nature
It's not just to get the celebrity on
That doesn't really matter
It's who can get the bigger one
Yeah, and you can rate our celebrities out of 10.
There's a lot of factors, either obviously how famous they are.
Yes.
Whether we can get them live in studio or whether it's like on the phone.
Wow, imagine getting someone in studio.
Friday, the 1975 are in New Zealand.
Imagine if I got Matt Healy in studio.
So the problem with you in this game is you're going...
Just in this game in general because there's a lot of problems.
We don't have time.
Okay.
But in this game is you've gone too big.
Oh yeah, I spent last night DMing Snoo.
Noep dog.
Sife goes, okay, I've gone for Ryan Reynolds.
He hasn't replied.
I know.
No way.
No, dog was my backup and he didn't reply either.
All right, we're going to go to your guest next.
Sof, this is my celebrity today for celebrity show and tell.
Please welcome to the edge breakfast.
Max Key.
Max Key.
Welcome to the show, my guy.
Morning, how's going?
Good, mate.
Have you met Sophie before?
Bro, we went to the same school.
Oh, shit.
Oh, Max.
But you're scraping the barrel.
if you're calling me.
Oh, Max, it is an absolute pleasure to have you on the show.
Max Key, son of ex-Prime minister John Key, budding podcaster yourself.
How did Sean hit you up, by the way?
I actually got a little call at promulmast today.
Yeah, me and Max used to DJ together.
Did you?
Yeah.
Did he cold call you?
Yeah, we went to Fiji together.
Yeah, he did.
Oh, my God.
And how did he sell it to you to get you on the show?
Blackmail.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've got some pictures.
of you that you don't want to see.
All right, Max, well, thanks for being on the show.
Oh, my guest, man.
While you're here, we're going to talk about, you know, he's a,
do I get more points here because I'm talking to celebrities by extension
because Max has a lot of celebrities on his podcast.
That is true.
Well, Max is iconic.
Let's just say that.
The fact you've got a phone call, I mean, I, it's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
I feel like I'm losing points because you went to school together.
Yeah, and I know him.
Okay.
I mean, but we'll see.
that's on the board.
Max Key,
thank you so much
for joining the Edge Breakfast
with Sean and Sof.
Appreciate it.
And Max,
the Keyed Up podcast
if you're listening to it.
Spotify, Apple Music.
You got Jess Quinn on this week.
Yeah, Jess Quinn.
Come on.
Amazing story about her
battle with cancer
and endometriosis.
And yeah,
every week we've got an exciting new guest on
and you have to check it out,
keyed up.
Yeah, definitely.
Well, she's an incredible person.
Maybe I'll try and get her for tomorrow.
Great podcast.
You can't go for my guest's guests.
Yes, I can do what I want.
Okay.
Up next.
I have got my celebrity, which I think will blow Sean's out of the water.
I think I win.
Big than Max K.
Hell yeah.
He's the prime minister's son.
Sorry, Max, if you're still listening.
Everyone knows who Max K is.
Everyone on The Edge will know this next group of people.
I've not got one.
One direction.
She's been to James Gordon.
I have got four people joining us next.
The Edge with Sean and Sov the Edge.
All week, we're doing a bit of a competition to get some big celebrities on the show.
It's called Celebrity Show and Tell.
So.
Yeah, this is what just went down with our Sean's celebrity guest for the day.
Please welcome to the Edge Breakfast.
Max Key.
Max Key, welcome to the show, my guy.
Morning, how's going?
Good, mate.
Bro, we went to the same school.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Oh, Max.
You're scraping the barrel if you're calling me.
Oh, Max, it is an absolute pleasure to have you on the show.
I think Max is a good get.
Everyone knows who Max Key is.
He's a celebrity son of the former Prime.
Minister, I stand by my decision as Max Key today.
Okay, well, how this game works is you can vote on 33443, who has the bigger get
of the day.
Also, our producers will weigh in with their voting system.
Look, I went big.
I tried to go big.
Let's just say, I messaged Snoop Dog, Ryan Reynolds, Ed Sheeran, Liam Payne, and Lewis
Capaldi.
Not a single one replied, but I tried, and I still have hoped that I'll get them by the end
of the week.
But in saying that, the next group of people I messaged,
I was actually so shocked but stoked and excited that they did reply.
And they sent an incredible little message to our show.
They've been listening this morning.
Here is my celebrity guests, Coterie.
Yo, what's goody?
This boys, Coterie here.
Just chilling, sipping on a morning coffee, seven weekbacks and all that.
We were vibing out to a
Sean and sofa on the Brecky show
bringing that magic. We just wanted to call in
and say, we love your mahi,
Morana, and as always
cool it down, yeah.
Cool it down, baby!
Oh my God, that's big.
How sick is that? So they're currently on tour
in Australia. International?
They're big international artists from Aussie and New Zealand.
They are some of the coolest
Kiwi musicians and I couldn't
believe that they replied back when I was like, big dogs
I need some woof with help and they are
through with their wheat books, their coffee and their mahi message.
All right, so you can vote on who had the best celebrity today and you can rate them out of
10-33443, Coterie or Mac's key.
Side note, Coterie are going really viral at the moment online because did you see the tackle
on stage?
Yeah.
Okay, if you want to see this, so that someone got up on stage and broke through the barrier,
almost like a streaker and a footy game, he was running across the stage live streaming.
One of the dudes from Coterie just whips off his guitar, puts it on the ground, eyes him up and
boom, run it straight,
knocks him to the ground.
It has gone viral.
If you want to see the video, text tackle to 3343.
Quite frankly, get him in the all blacks.
Get him out there, man.
Get him in the all blacks.
He's so epic.
Bode and Barrett's injured?
Put him on the field.
You should see the floor.
Shoulders down.
Like, man, knows how to hit.
Maybe they can swap.
Bodie can play the bass.
All right.
Well, let's go to the producers right now.
Sof, I feel like, because this is out of 10,
we're rating on a few factors,
how famous they are.
also whether they're live or not
and I do feel like you'll take a hit
that it was a voice note and that we didn't get them on the phone
Well it's Australia they're asleep
I mean well no they're listening to
eating weekbooks and listening to us
All right Brock producer Brock who do you go for
What are you giving us out of 10?
Sean hit it right on the button there saying that
He got them on the phone
Rather than a voice message
However
Max Key is not international
And coterie had more than one person
So I feel like he'd get bones
bonus points there so for having multiple people there.
All right, out of 10, what are you giving it?
We'll add them at the end of the week and see who can win this.
I'm giving Sean a six out of 10.
Nice, not bad.
I'll take it.
What am I getting?
Can I do 0.5?
Yep.
7.5.
Yeah, baby!
There's no way that coterie on a voice memo is 7.5.
Yes, sir.
There was four of them, so.
Coterie 7.5.
All right, let's go to producer Ash.
That's such bullshit.
A rating out of 10 for Sean's guest.
I'm going to give for the nostalgia a seven for Max Key
for coterie I'm going to give it a six
Oh, okay
Oh my God, sof's in the lead
By point five
That's such rubbish man
You, okay
So I'm in head by point five for celebrity show and tell
We will be back tomorrow
I will continue DMing Snoop
Thank you Karma
Max Key actually on the phone
Never heard of coterie
Well
You obviously don't listen to us very much
Can we take Karma's vote as well
Absolutely not
We'll be back tomorrow with more celebs and hopefully Snoop Dog.
Yeah, at the same time, tomorrow, I've got a big celebrity tomorrow.
I'm upping it from Max Key as well.
And if you did want to see that tackle video, tackle to 3343, it's iconic.
The Edge with Sean and Soch.
