This is a podcast from Rover.
Hey, can you jack us a croissant?
The edge.
With Sean and Sophie.
The edge.
Do you know what?
Let's peel back this fourth wall, baby.
There are five whiteboard markers sitting right by my desk,
and they're like spilling out onto it in front of me.
There's not even a whiteboard.
What's happening?
Okay.
Why do we need a pink whiteboard marker?
Two things.
Oh yeah, Ash is holding up a small whiteboard.
You don't need four, five whiteboard markers for it.
Do you know what you could do?
Put them to the side or move them.
And then that's relevant.
It wasn't intended to come on here.
That's a glimpse of the real me.
Yeah.
Just before we're about to go on here, like cold, cold hard as fire goes...
Wival markers!
There's so many whiteboard markers!
An epidemic!
Anyway, the coffee catch-up, why aren't you playing our jazz music?
Ah!
I thought we needed some upbeat this morning.
I was a bit tired, but here you go.
Thank you.
This is where we come to the table and just discuss things that have been happening in our lives recently.
Just while I'm being a bit of a sourpuss, can I start the coffee catch-up with packing a bone
with you? Oh, sure. Why not? You already picked a bone with the whiteboard
markers of the studio, probably our producer. While we're peeling back the layers,
Sof and I were hanging out on Saturday. Oh, no. And we went to a, me, Soph and Caitlin, from the office.
You might know her as hot cake. We're good friends. We decided to go for a drink on Saturday
afternoon. It was lovely. It was really nice. And I was DJing later that night. So you guys
had agreed to, we were going to go off to our own thing, have some food or whatever. And then
when I went to DJ, you were all going to come and see me and say hi and have a drink and we're
going to go back out. And then, um, we were going to go back out. And then, um, we were going to
you didn't do that.
And when I was messaging you, neither of you would reply.
And then I woke up the next day and saw on a story that you guys had both
woken up and gone for a sunrise walk together.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I fell asleep.
Are you surprised?
We've had 4 a.m. wake-ups all week, Seanis.
Come on.
Okay.
So you weren't just cutting me out of the conversation.
No, I fell asleep.
I went home.
I ate leftover Thai food.
I drank with my flatmates.
And then I fell asleep on the couch.
Dressed fully for you.
Face of making.
up. Honestly, I woke up at
like 1, 2 o'clock. Boots on,
skirt on, being ready to go
to town to see you. Just didn't make it.
It was too sleepy. Um, sorry about that.
As Kaylee Bell says.
Good for you. That's alright. That's okay. I accept your apology.
Number one panel op in the game.
What do I want to bring to the coffee catch up?
Oh, just have you,
I don't know if this is just a me thing,
but it would be lovely to know if this is another
person thing too. Do you feel like
when you're in the car, it's a
weird vortex where no one can see you?
Oh yeah, like I'm unhinged in the car, A, with singing,
rapping or just general aggression towards other people.
I wouldn't normally do, but yeah, you feel like people can't see you.
What is this weird perspective?
When I'm in my car with the windows, even if the windows are slightly down,
but mostly if they're up, my music is so loud,
and I am performing a full-out Coachella set in my car for myself,
dance moves included, singing along.
And for some reason, I just don't think people can see me.
but I'm really concerned because obviously you can see people in the car.
But then if you were like in the studio, for example,
when we've got a window out to the office,
you wouldn't behave like that because people can see you through the window.
Exactly.
But as soon as you're in a moving vehicle.
I couldn't do it in my house because one of my flatmates came home,
but I could be literally at the lights singing my lungs out
and there are people beside me staring at me.
They can't see me.
I'm in my car vortex.
Anyone else feel that?
Just me.
Anyway.
Come on up next.
Mercury's in Astrograde.
Powerade. It's in Powerade.
Ash, producer Ash, is really into astrology.
I don't know a whole lot about it.
What's going on, Ash?
Oh, there you're right.
Basically, Mercury Retrogate is a time where communication is up in the air.
We have no idea what's going on.
We're all just confused, annoyed, angry, reflecting.
It's just a hard time, you know.
Maybe that's why you were angry about your whiteboard markers.
Maybe.
But as Ash...
I'd love to be able to blame it on.
the stars, so let's do that.
The Edge with Sean and Soch.
Ash, you are very into astrology,
and you've informed us this morning that Mercury
is in Gatorade. Mercury is
in Gatorade at the moment. Can we
formally re-change your name to
producer Ashtrology today?
Because you're Ash, and
that one got it. I got him.
I'm on fire. Okay, anyway.
Okay, so I've learned some interesting
things about you.
Wait, quickly, what does Mercury and Retrogade
mean? Okay, Mercury and Retrograde,
Once a planet is in retrograde, it appears from the Earth to be going backwards.
So essentially it seems like everything's going backwards.
We're all feeling very stark.
We're not feeling as great as we possibly could be.
And for you two specifically with your astrology charts, it's been hitting you hard.
So this is interesting.
Last night, a little behind the scenes, we catch up on, we caught up on a Sunday night to plan the show this morning.
And Ash said about this mercury thing.
Now, Sean, primarily, not an astrology guy.
I just find it hard to believe that you can sort humans into 12 categories based on when they were born.
It seems awfully convenient.
It's very convenient.
And the fact that I can blame my mood on a planet.
Yeah, great.
Millions of miles away spinning backwards.
And that's why things haven't gone well for me.
Sean, Sean.
Seems like a great excuse.
Spinning backwards scientifically.
It just looks like it.
Even less of a reason.
So we thought it would be funny.
We sent producer Astrology.
our birth times, birth places, dates.
You need a lot of information.
I thought it was just your birthday, but no, you need time, date, dates, ways.
What was the other thing?
Time, date, place.
Oh, place, yeah, place.
What is the place matter?
I assumed Auckland.
Yes, yeah.
Okay.
So the fact that I was born in Tauranga, does that mean different to people?
Oh, yeah.
It won't be too different because we're in New Zealand, but if we're in the States,
the stars would be slightly different depending on your location.
So we've asked producer astrology for what's going to happen to us this week,
while the planets spin backwards.
Okay, who does.
And if you guys at home know your rising sign as well,
you might be similar to Sean and Sophie,
who both have Torres rising.
So Torres is really getting affected by Mercury Retrogate.
So we're starting the week with some really good, fun vibes.
But as the week goes on, we're not feeling as great.
So try to avoid burning any bridges
and trying to be out in nature,
let off some self-esteem so you're not snapping at other people.
Okay, cool, because after I finish this breakfast show
and go back to days,
I'll probably quit by the end of the week, so I won't do that.
I'll keep myself together.
And for specifically tourists, so you two.
I'm a Gemini.
So you're a Gemini son, but you both also have a rising sign.
We're multiple signs.
This is why I can't get around astrology,
because not only is it like generic, this could apply to everyone.
Now everyone's got multiple things, so if this one doesn't apply this one,
well, and if that one doesn't, where does it end, man?
Well, at the moment we're tourists.
So pull your horns in.
Yeah, you're a tourist at the moment.
For every planet, there is an astrology signed specifically attached.
So if you have a moon, that also has a different astrology signed attached.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'll tell you about Sean's real quickly.
So Sean's at a time of his life where he's trying to reassess where he's at, what's going on.
Friendships are a little bit confusing and he might feel a little bit isolated at the moment.
Well, I did ditch you on the weekend, so it makes sense.
Basically, Sean, what astrology wants you to know,
that you might, everyone sees you
was a very successful person. However
if you're not feeling like a successful person
it's time to start re-evaluating that
and making some changes.
Interesting. No, I'm killing it.
And humble too, does it say that on his starboard?
It actually says that he's very raunchy
out there personality, so not surprised.
And with Sov, if you're not feeling
100% about something, this is for anyone with a
Gemini son, if you're not feeling
100% loved by someone or not
100% in your career.
It might be a sign it's not for you.
And just say no to any opportunities
that aren't feeling as aligned
as you feel they should be.
Interesting.
Ooh, what are we feeling, team?
You feel a little...
Do you agree, Sean?
Astrology, Sean?
Yep, no, but I feel like those things
could kind of apply, you know, to anyone.
Oh, I love a horoscope.
Very interesting.
Thank you, Ash.
Appreciate that.
Producer Astrology.
Are you going to have a good week?
According to astrology, I am not.
So I'm just going to get through.
Is anyone going to have a good week?
Definitely not the worst
Sean and Sof
This is where producer Ash will fire us a question
And the first one out of me and Sof to answer it
Wins a point
To know it's really funny Sean
And I have been planning this since Thursday
Ash I don't know if you'll remember this
I don't know if this is gonna fly
But on Thursday with this game
We set a bet
And the winner of this game
Could make the other one leave the studio
at any point in time to go make a coffee.
Yeah, you have not yet cashed in on that.
I would like to exercise my right.
Because as winner...
Right now.
Right now.
No!
So you can't win.
So the game will start.
Vetoed. Vetoed.
The questions will come from Ash.
And I will be the only one in the studio answering the questions.
No, vetoed.
I want a chance to win.
And how about I double down?
And if you win again, then I can make you two.
Two coffees.
Done.
Okay, double down.
I'm going to be wild.
by the end of the show, if I have two coffees.
Fine, it's vetoed, let's play.
Play along where you're at is the first to four.
Ash is going to give us a question.
The first one to answer gets a point.
Name a popular Netflix show.
Nice to watch.
Oh, I'm going to go with Sean on that
just because he finished it faster.
Sorry, so.
Okay, that's fine.
That's fair.
Oh, let me just, okay, Sean, one.
Are we ready, so?
Yes, I'm ready.
Make the sound of a farm animal.
Move.
Oh, go, gling, go, and good.
So I've got that one.
I didn't really know what I was doing now.
A former Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Tell Goddard.
I definitely started that.
I just say it clearly.
But Sean got finished it quicker.
No, no, no.
Pause.
Our boss has said we can only play this game
if we say things with clarity
because if people are listening in their cars
and I go,
no one's going to know what I said.
But we can't take our time.
It's a quick draw.
It's a quick game.
I know, Ash was the refs, though.
It's 2-1.
Right.
I'm going to go against my boss's wishes
and I'm going to be very annoying.
I'm going to say the word very fast.
Tell me the name of an edge breakfast radio host's animal.
Meg's cat.
Meg's dog.
Meg's dad's cat.
Kimmy.
Kimmy.
Which is the name of Dan Webby's cat.
Can we at least wait until she finishes the question?
There should be a minus point for presumptuous spilling garbage.
Okay, it's first to four.
Stop talking.
Tell me.
Three one.
A Nickelodeon show.
Drake and Josh.
Oh, has he done it?
He's done it.
He's done it.
If I could have an oat flat white, so...
Hey, it was double or nothing, so now we're even.
Definitely not the worst.
Sean and Sophie.
This probably came out in the news maybe a month or so ago, a couple months,
and they floated the idea of what if we created a ring that you could wear,
which showed you a single in public.
So it allowed people to be able to know, okay, who's single.
Because, you know, wedding ring, obviously not single.
this ring are single but
Oh so it's like the antithesis of a wedding ring
Yes but for a single ring
But obviously that's really hard to pick off the ground
Because obviously having to buy the ring
Getting people on board
People just wear rings all the time anyway
They've pivoted
And they've come up with a new way
To do the world's large social experiment
And that is to put a peer emoji
In your Instagram bio
So if you've got your name, Sean Hill
DJ extraordinaire edge man
And then underneath just a little
Well you wouldn't do it
You're not single but just a little pair
So if you are doing the classic Insta stalk
Like many of us do
See a hottie and you're like
Do I slide into their DMs?
Not sure if they've got a girlfriend or not
Maybe they're not a big poster
If they've got a little pear emoji
It means they're single
Interesting concept
It kind of we've talked about this at length
So because you're single I'm not
I might be overconfident in some areas.
What's wrong with just saying that you're single?
You can't do that.
This is Sean to a tee.
Well, back in his single days,
we'll just message a chick and be like,
hey, you're single?
Okay, no, that's not what happened.
That's not what happened.
Don't, that's not.
Hey, love, you're single.
Gatay, love.
So bad.
No, that's not what I said,
but we were talking about at a bar
approaching someone and being like,
hey, are you single?
No, that's so awkward.
Eventually, after saying a couple other things.
No, I reckon, but we're talking purely social media right now.
Purely social media and the use of this emoji.
Does that not make it so much easier to know who you're heading on or not?
What if you are like, what if it's complicated?
Or it's like a situation ship.
Maybe we should use multiple fruits.
Yeah, let's figure it out.
Okay, okay.
Because it's like, do you remember the old traffic light parties?
We're green?
Maybe.
Single.
Maybe because the pair is green as the emoji.
Because we were both discussing also the olden days where bananas were used in shopping trolleys to indicate you a single.
Why wouldn't you just use a banana as the emoji?
But then that's a sexually provocative.
B, it's yellow.
Is it?
A banana.
I suppose, yeah.
Fallic shape.
Yes, exactly.
Whereas a pear is green.
And then orange like situation chip and then red.
Okay, so let's figure this out.
If you're in a situation chip, it's a peach.
Oh, no.
That's already the butt.
That's the booty.
I reckon an orange.
Is there a mandarin?
No, stop picking fruits that is suggestive.
Okay, wait.
I reckon we go.
Peer if you're single.
We jump.
Orange if you're complicated.
Is there an orange emoji?
Yes, there is.
No.
Yes, there is.
An orange if you're complicated.
And then what's a red fruit there?
Apple.
Apple, if you're taking.
Yeah, and they're all in a row as well.
Oh my gosh, it's meant to be.
Sean and Sofe.
It's a difficult life that I've been tasked with.
It really must be.
Even when people text in, I'd say,
one out of every five texts is your correct spelling of the Sean.
Every time I need to explain, you know, I need to sign up for something.
It's, oh, how do you spell that?
Before you say it, quick poll on the text machine.
Have a guess.
3, 3, 4, 3.
How do you think you spell Sean?
And we'll see how many people get it right.
But at least, like, my mum knew that when she called me Sean,
that there were different options.
Some parents are just doing this to their kids out of spite,
out of trying to be unique.
Yeah, so this story comes out of the UK.
And the name itself, very questionable.
they've called their kid
avocado.
Right.
You think that's bad enough.
You're like, oh, my goodness.
Your daughter's name is avocado.
Is it avo for short?
We know how...
Well, you would think it was avo.
But how they spelled avocado is even worse.
So, avocado, A-V-O, C-A-D-O.
We know.
Now, how they spelt their daughter's name was
A-V-V-A-E-C-A-D-O.
So a couple of Vs, a couple of Cs, a couple of A's in the wrong place.
And they went, it's not after the fruit.
It's something unique.
So they're like, it sounds really beautiful when you say it.
It's not the fruit.
It's spelt different.
A vacado.
A vacado.
But seriously, no one is going to, when they hear their kids like, oh, avocado come through.
They're not going to be like, oh, it's spelt in a French way.
So it means something different.
Your name is now avocado for life.
I've looked up a list of common names that people have.
that have unique spellings
and this is from Parents.com
and the whole,
I want to discourage people doing this
as someone who has a name
with multiple spellings.
It says,
this takes your name,
your baby's name from common
to totally unique.
It totally doesn't.
It just makes it really annoying for them.
Okay, here's one.
David,
spelled D-A-F-Y-D-D.
No, no, no, no.
This is ridiculous.
Jasmine, spell jazz.
Okay, you've got this.
J-A...
It's just why I'm trying to guess the spelling.
Jazz, man, yeah.
If it's weird, J-A-Z-Z-Z.
M-I-N-E?
Close. M-Y-N.
No! Okay, this is why, so we've got this game
that Sean and I want to play,
where if you've got a common name
that is spelt uncommonly,
give us a call on 0-800 The Edge
and we will try to guess your spelling.
Or you can text us through,
just don't be like Kerry
who text us with the correct spelling
and now we can't play the game with her.
Should we get a one caller quickly just to set this up?
Chris from Tauranga, morning, Chris.
Good morning, how are you?
Yeah, great.
Your name is Chris, which to me seems rather obvious.
It should be like a C-H-R-I-S, yeah.
But obviously, it's spelt differently.
Correct.
And my real name is Christian, so let's make that even more fun.
Christian.
Okay, okay.
If it was Christian spelt correctly, it would still be C-H-R-I-S.
All right, Sean, you have a guess and I'll have a guess too.
If I'm going to go really unique, I'm going to say it's spelled C-R-I-S.
Okay, okay.
Like Chris goes.
Chris goes, maybe they've just taken the H out of it and they've just gone straight like,
C-R-I-S?
How do you spell your name?
K-R-I-S.
From Christian?
Yes.
Christian, that starts with the C normally.
That's challenging, Chris.
Oh, my God, brilliant.
Oh, thanks, mate.
You are successfully the first person that we have gotten wrong.
So, Brett, what is that short for?
Britannica or, like, Brittany?
Britain?
Brittany.
Brittany.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
We have to check because Chris was short for Christian.
Now, do you want us to attempt to spell Brittany or Brit?
Try to spell Britney because so many people don't know how to, there's so many different ways to spell it.
Okay.
Let me, I'm going to go.
The classic Brittany is B-R-I-T-N-E-Y.
Okay, is this what you're guessing?
Yes.
I'm going to guess, I'm going to go, it's super, like, different.
Her parents have gone odd.
I'm going to say B-R-Y-T
Okay, bright
K-N-E
Bright knee
You're cooked
I reckon, you know
unique, no one else is spout that way
All right, Brit, how is your name spelt?
You spout it right, it's B-R-I-T-N-E-Y
Yes, like the Spears
Woo!
I am actually named after Britney Spears
So that makes sense
Hey, Brittany, at least you're not named after an avocado, gal.
It's true.
Yeah, exactly. So much better.
Sto-all right, 1-0 to soap.
Let's go to Lisa from Palmerston North.
Now, Lisa, we're not guessing your name.
We're guessing a family member's name?
That's correct.
Okay, so what's the name?
What's the name?
Shane.
Shane.
How would you spell Shane weird?
I'm going to say there's a Y in there, S-H-A-Y-N-E.
Using S-H-A-Y-N-E.
Shane.
I don't know.
I'm like...
Maybe, yeah, no, we're going to lock in
S-H-A-Y-N-E.
Are we correct?
No.
Oh, how's it spelled?
C-H-A-Y-N-E.
C.
C-H-A-Y-N-E.
Oh, that's C-A-Y-N-E.
Oh, that's cucked, there you go.
I never would have got that.
Sean and Sof.
Just to pull back the curtain here,
as it's Monday, we did a little Zoom call last night.
We caught up about what we wanted to say on the show today.
You put some ideas.
down into a Google Doc.
Most of them, like, I have no idea of what you're trying to say.
Yeah, look, my laptop keyboard for quite some time has several letters that don't work on the keyboard,
including the O and the L.
Quite important letters.
Very important.
We had a conversation this morning where producer Ash brought in some astrology.
Now, on the sheet, it is written Astrogy because I can't write the O, I can't write the L.
We were talking about Coachella, it's Cache.
That's just what it is.
And look, I have put up with this now since maybe last October.
If I'm writing an email though, I won't obviously spell words incorrectly because that looks unprofessional.
I will go through to their email and I will copy and paste individual letters.
So if I need an O and they've gone, hello, Sophie, I copy and paste the little O from Sophie,
and I put it into the email where I need it.
So I just, look, it's expensive to fix the laptop.
So for seven months, you've been spent.
spending twice as long, maybe three times as long, every time you have to type anything.
Yes.
Because you need to copy and paste letters.
And the hard thing for you is your name involves one of the letters that you can't type.
Oh, I know.
So I'm just Svee, like every time.
That's so frustrating.
But it's one of those things, I think, as a Kiwi, you know, we're quite an ingenuitive bunch.
You know, we're quite, you make things work.
Oh, yeah, she'll be right.
I reckon there are other people out there who things are broken,
whether it is your laptop or your phone
and you've just got to work around
you've just left it broken and you're like
you know what okay my shoe has a hole in the bottom
it's cool I wear plastic at the bottom on my socks
don't get wet we're fine
so we want to know from you
on 3343 you can text in or call us
on 0800 the edge
there's way more text than I expected
I think everyone in New Zealand is finding a workaround
for something in their life
it's stunning let's go to the phone Sebastian
what's still broken that you just still use
Hey, my screen protector on my phone's been cracked for like, I don't know, as long as I can remember.
And I just can't be bothered to take it in and grab another one or replace it myself because I'll probably put it on cricket.
No, I agree, Sebastian.
I'm the same dude.
When mine cracks, I'll leave it for way too long.
And my philosophy is, as soon as I get a new one, like, you know, that one's going to crack eventually.
So the longer you delay it, you know.
Hey, Sebastian, does this piss you off?
When I got a screen protector for my phone, I got the wrong.
size and it was a couple inches too small on the top and the bottom so it only protected the
medium square of my phone yeah oh yeah now that'll bug me eh because you're the only one that
notice is that no one else would know no one else is but you're the one that sees it every day yeah
that's so annoying so you can't try it on your phone either that's why you're no i've got a new screen
protector now cheers sebastian all right let's go to zack from christchurch zach what's still
broken that you still use uh my battery my Suzuki swift oh my how do you use a car with a broken
battery?
I've just got some jumper leads in the boot
so every time I need to use it, I have to get jump started.
Zach, every
time you need to use your car, you need to jumpstart it.
Yeah, it's been going on for the last two years.
Who is this incredibly patient
person in your life who's jumpstating your car
every time you need to go to the shops?
Sometimes I've actually had to post up on community pages
asking someone to come jumpstart me and getting that bad.
Oh my God, this is stunning.
Zach, you're a, you're a
twin. Actually, Zach, so I've got a little bit of money she wants to give away next on the show.
So maybe if you hang around, we might be able to pay for one of those like jumpstart kits.
I was going to buy a battery. I don't have enough money for a car battery to give away.
But, oh yeah, that is coming up very shortly. Zach, I think that's even worse than the keyboard,
mate. You definitely win that one. I'm going to tell one more story. Cheers, Zach. That's just been
texting. Someone saying that three of their car doors have been broken. So they've had to climb in through
the back door to get into the front seat.
And then when they park up, climb over into the back seat and climb through the back door.
Oh my God, that is so dodged.
And that text definitely didn't come from Jaden who used to do the afternoon show.
Is that his car?
Every afternoon in the car park, you used to see him climbing in through the back door over the front seat, into his front seat,
and then climbing back out just to get in and out of his car.
Why am I not surprised?
The Edge with Sean and Sophie Edge.
Sofa and I both secretly organise a celebrity on the show, whoever can get the biggest name ones.
How did I even forget about this?
I have been excited since yesterday.
I don't think you guys understand.
Like last week, we had some incredible guests.
And I think everyone who came on the show, we had bands, we had coterie, Art Green was on the show.
We had...
Patty Gower, David Seymour, Max Key.
I kid you not, the celeb I've got today,
I actually think other radio stations will talk about it
because it is an edge-exclusive international superstar,
and I don't know how I did it.
I don't know if you can top my Friday one, though,
which was Love Island.
Adam Collard came on the show.
Hey, what's happening?
Now I've heard that we are to...
Which we need to discuss, because the rules of the game,
yes, it was not stipulated in a rulebook,
but it was an unspoken agreement.
No money would be changed over in exchange for a feature.
How can you say it's a rule if it was an unspoken agreement?
That means that you thought that was the case,
and I was unaware blissfully.
See, the game was through our journalistic abilities,
you know, hard-hitting on this show,
we were to source these in a respectable way.
We're not just bribing people to be on the shop.
The rules I were given was whoever can get the best celebrity on at 830 wins.
Well, that's what I was told.
Blackmail.
Money.
Hacking the cloud and taking nude photos to get them on the show.
These are things that I've been employing to get the biggest celebrities.
So you did pay for Adam Collard off Love Island.
Yeah, he's on cameo, 70 bucks.
It got us into a bit of an argument that we decided.
on Monday, this will be the be all
and end all, winner takes all, no money
to be exchanged. We have to do this fairly
and honestly, right? You've agreed?
Yeah, so today I will not spend money
because now it's a rule, it wasn't a rule at the time.
However, because Sean and I are like
a brother and sister and I
demand everything that Sean gets, he got
$70 to spend on this show.
Now, today's my last day on the show because
Clemegen Dan back Wednesday
when I went to our boss on Friday
and went, well, if Sean gets $70
then I should get $70
It's only fair, right?
So I am a petulant child,
and I demanded that I have $70 from the edge budget
to spend any way I would like.
And I thought, might take myself out for breakfast,
might get my nails done.
You were going to take $70 that I spent on here
to get Adam Collard to go get your nails done.
Yep, why not?
You got $70, why shouldn't I?
But then I decided, you know what,
I'm a better person than you.
So I thought, with my $70,
I am going to be the Robin Hood of the Edge.
if you have had a small payment
Oh she's going full Oprah Winfrey
You get a dollar
You get $5
No if you've had a small payment recently
Which is really you know
Niggled you in some way
Like your coffee
You know you're running late
And your coffee spills
Or you're like
Oh I just really need an oat flat white today
And it costs you $6 I am willing
To give away my $70 on ear
In the next 10 minutes
But only for very very small purchases
So if someone needed $68
$50 for something
Would you give that to them
If it was a good enough reason?
If it was a good enough reason.
However, I would prefer like $15 here, $20 there, $5 for your parking today.
All right, call in with your small thing you need money for, but it needs to be the specific amount.
If you come in, I need $20, get out of here.
No, I need specifics.
I need $17.32 because the jumper I'm wearing got spilt coffee on and I need to replace it.
You can text us 3343 or give us call 0800 the edge.
Should we just go straight to a live phone and see what happens?
Yeah, let's go to Haley.
Okay. Haley, welcome to the show.
Is there something that you need money for?
I have two things and you can pick.
Okay.
So my water bill came in at $6.66.
Stunning.
Which just really irks me.
Yep.
Then the returns I had to do for a pair of shoes that didn't fit cost me $43.10 and the shoes only cost me $80.
Oh, Haley. I'm going to pay $6 for your water bill.
Wait, was it six?
Sixth, six.
Oh, sorry, sorry, okay.
Haley, you've just won $6.60.
$0.66.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You're so welcome.
Can I please have $5 to get the two-arm energy drink deal when you get one mother and one lift plus?
Because I'm driving to work with no energy drink,
and it's literally my richhold to have a cigarette and an energy drink.
You know what?
Lisa, I'm all for the health.
I don't get money to mine.
I'm all for the health of Altero, and there's nothing better than energy drinks to start the day.
you've got $5.
Yay, thank you so much.
I really appreciate that.
Oh, we'll get that through to you.
Sean, what's my tell at the moment?
Congrats, Lisa.
You're at $58 and $34 left.
Okay, maybe we do a biggie.
Candice, welcome to the show.
What is your small fee that needs paying?
All right, I downloaded a photo editing app to remove some tex that was on a photo.
I never used it.
I forgot to unsubscribe, and then the bill came through.
It was $17.
$25.
No.
What was even worse?
There was a video app
and a photo app
and I bought my card
because I saw them coming through
at the same time
so I actually got two of those.
Oh no.
I hate that.
Nothing worse than an app
coming through.
You haven't used it.
Dead money.
What a waste.
Candice, because I am the edges
Robin Hood,
I've hooked you up
with $17 and $25.
Woo-hoo!
Thank you.
All right.
Your total is $41
and $9.
Do you want to give one more
away here?
Yeah, we'll go to
Tatum on the phone because I know she's got a very small fee.
Tatum, what do you need the money for?
So I worked tonight shift last night
and my guilty pleasure is just a cheeky little Coke
at 3.30am.
Stunning.
Bending machine stole my money.
No.
Didn't give me a Coke.
How much did it steal?
$2.50.
Do you know what?
Tatum, I'm going to do something I've never done before.
I'm going to double your money because not only
Not only did it steal your $2.50, but you also didn't get your Coke.
So Tatum, I'm going to send you $5 so that you can go and get your Coke.
I'm rich.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome, Tatum.
Man, it feels good to give.
You are getting so high on the fact that you're giving away $5.
People are happy.
Tatum's rich.
All right, $36 and $9.0.9 remaining.
You can keep your request coming through, 3343.
Yeah, keep texting.
And maybe I'll call some people back in the show and just, you know, spread the general.
around. Hey, can you joke us a croissant?
The edge. With Sean and Sophie.
The edge. Let's get into the biggest moment from Coachella of Weekend 2, which is, of course,
Labyrinth was performing his set. Now, it was one of the most highly talked about sets of the first
weekend. He is such a talented producer, artist, singer, and he did one better.
Out of nowhere, he brings out Zendaya, which is so iconic for multiple reasons. She started her
career kind of in music and then went off to acting. She's become one of the most loved actresses.
Hasn't performed for over seven years on a stage. And this video is from immediately after she
finished coming out and talked about her experience. I have never heard screaming like that in my
entire life. As soon as I turned the corner, I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't hear anything,
but you guys. So I'm sorry, I don't know what happened. I don't know what I sounded like, but I just was
like, you know what? I'm just going to have fun.
It was phenomenal.
The screams were wild. If you want to see the video of when she comes out and just the whole
crowd is so loud, you can't even...
Oh, sorry?
You can't even hear her sing.
You can text Coachella to 33443.
Here's a theory.
Do you think that they only put Labyrinth on the lineup?
I know Labyrinth is a very talented performer, but just to try and maybe get Zendaya out there
because she co-writes the songs for Euphoria with Labyrinth?
She does.
I don't necessarily know if it was planned
because in the chat she was having about the loudness of the music and the noise,
she said, thank you for helping me pull this very last minute.
So I think it was in the last week with all the crap that's been going on with Coachella,
they've gone, how can we get back in the headlines is a good thing?
Let's put Zendaya on the list.
Let's try get her in with Labyrinth, and it's incredible.
So Coachella to 3343.
and hey we've got 50 lots of $100 for you to win
it's the most prizes we've ever given away
all you've got to do is rate some of the songs we play on The Edge
you can text the word music to 3343 to get the link
The Edge with Sean and Sophie
We've got a whole lot of people on the phone
So we're going to go to them a sec but Sean this text just came through
And I accidentally opened the text too much
And it had a spoiler alert of their job
So this one's just for you
Okay
Keegan 26 this morning
Had a Colombian espresso Pujoi Valley drink
and a beef and cabbage spring roll for Bricky.
What does he do?
I love this.
Once again, the more description.
The more detail, the better.
And because of that description,
I'm going to say that he's a lecturer of sorts
because he's good at explaining things.
I'm going to say he's a food tech teacher,
hence the niche breakfast.
Beef and cabbage.
He's working on spring rolls today with his class.
I'm going to say food tech teacher at a local polytechnic.
Not even close.
He's a Tyler.
Okay, let's go to the finds.
I thought he said his name was...
Keegan.
Oh, funny.
Oh, 800 the edge.
Cody, welcome to the show.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
How are you?
Yeah, great.
How are you?
Good.
Good.
Hit us with your age and what you had for Brecky.
So I'm 28, and I had a coffee and crumpet this morning.
Oh, little croppet.
A little breakfast.
Oh, most lovely.
Okay.
I'm going to say a distant relative of the royal family.
Nice.
Prince William's estranged second cousin,
Houdal lives in New Zealand.
So you're locking in royal.
Because of the crumpet.
Okay, I'm going to say,
crumpet's like you think you're a little bit fancy,
but maybe you're not.
So I'm going to go with,
you work at like a Lexus car dealership.
So you are around fancy things,
but you don't own the fancy things.
No, you're right.
I don't own the fancy things.
But you are royalty.
I'm fast. No, I'm not.
What is it?
I'm fast and thankfully.
I'm a beautician.
Oh, Cody, I'm so annoyed.
I was going to say nail tech, which was close enough.
Oh, Cody, thanks for playing.
All right, let's go to someone else.
Ariya, welcome to the show.
What's your age?
What'd you have for brecky?
I'm 26 years old, and I had protein oats with berries.
Easy.
Easy.
It's a healthy breakfast.
It's a TikTok fad.
You're obviously curious about.
the way you look, Ariya, you're 26, you're in the prime.
I reckon you are an aspiring reality TV show contestant,
and your full-time job is just to apply for reality shows
and get in good nick for when it happens.
Okay, you're locking in applies to reality shows.
I'm going, you've had time to make protein oats,
but you've also probably got time to eat them at a desk,
and it's kind of boring.
I'm going to...
You work as an accountant.
You're at a big law firm.
That's two different things.
You're in an accounting firm.
No, I'm a real estate agent
Oh, real estate agent
I'm in close to account
Ariah, have you applied for Love Island ever?
I haven't
Cheers, Aria
Okay, should we do one more?
Yeah, let's go
This one intrigues me, our producers
written what they had for breakfast
Stop it!
Amelia, welcome to the show
Good morning!
Good morning!
Thanks!
It says you've had a chicken mayo toasty for breakfast
I did.
And Amelia, if you don't mind, how old are you, Amelia?
I'm 48.
48 and eating a chicken and mayo toasty for breakfast.
You're too old for such nonsense.
That is unhinged.
That is a uni students breakfast.
Yeah, okay, let me think about this for a second.
Job-wise, if you're eating a toaster, you've had time to create the toasty in the morning.
You're obviously eating it hot.
Chicken and mayo.
Chicken's probably left over from the night before.
Mayo, interesting condiment for this.
this early in the morning.
You are right, quite a youthful vibe.
Do you work at a trampoline park?
You know, like, jump?
You're one of the jump people.
I love what you're on.
I'm going to lock in that as well.
I'm going to say you work at Lollipops Playland
as a general local regional manager.
Amelia, what's your job?
You'll be surprised.
You'll be surprised.
Lawyer.
What is it?
I am a monumental stone mason.
A stone mason.
I didn't even know that.
It was still a profession.
A stone mason?
Yes, it is.
Wild.
Well, now we know
Stone masons have toastys for Bricky.
Amelia, thanks so much for calling the show.
Awesome.
Have a good day, guys.
Yeah, you too.
Well, we learned things today.
A chicken mayo to toastie.
And shout out to Hannah who says,
29, crumpy shapes.
You're a child.
Or the person who said
I had two sausages in the car just now.
Yummy.
Feeling dusty?
We've got you.
Sean and Sofe.
The edge.
Double or drop.
Oh, yeah.
If you're a boss with music knowledge,
Just get it ready to put to the test.
$400.
Yeah, that made sense in my brain.
$400 up for grabs.
All you got to do, name the artist of each song correctly.
Double your cash up to $400.
If you get it wrong, you will drop back down to zero and start again.
If you're two artists in the song, you only need to name one.
Each song is five seconds.
Should we do it?
Let's do it.
Okay.
Who's the lucky...
Luke, you are a lucky contestant today of the last double or drop.
How are you feeling going into this?
Oh, being the last contestant, pretty nervous
But now we'll be right
No, no, she'll be right
She'll be right
I mean, that is the quote of the day
I am working with a broken laptop here
So we're fine
So Luke, assume that you've been
Playing along the last kind of week or so
How have you been doing in your car?
I've been going to right
I mean, the occasional one
But it beats you off the radio, isn't it?
It is
Just imagine, Luke, it's just you, me and Sean
We're hanging out at a pub
I'm just playing you some annoying songs off my spot
and I'm like, oh, Luke, have you heard this one?
And you're like, yeah, so if that's Post Malone, you'll be sweet.
Just don't think of the hundreds of thousands of other people who are listening and how
big the stakes are.
Look at me, Luke.
It's us.
All right, no, we got it.
Okay, so you know it's five seconds each song.
If you miss one, you drop back down to zero.
Let's play your first song for $50.
Two artists here, Luke.
Name me one of them for $50.
That's a tricky one.
That was Kendrick Lamar and Cizzer.
Yeah.
Yeah, one to start with Luke, but it does mean you can still win $200.
So let's go song number two.
Who is this artist, please, Luke?
Oh, the weekend.
Yes, there is.
The weekend is correct.
We are on the board.
All right, if you get this next one correct, $100 all yours.
Luke, let's play the song.
Who is this artist?
Lady Gaga.
There he is.
Lady Gaga is correct.
Our boy, Luke, now if you get the next one correct, you will win $200 to take away.
If you get it wrong, you won't get anything.
But I believe in you.
Let's do it.
Final song.
I know we weren't perfect part of near.
$1 million.
All right is, Luke.
Shakey start.
He nailed the landing.
Great job.
No, I'll take that.
That's me.
Definitely not the worst.
We're just talking about tips for confidence.
So this could apply to anyone.
And I thought it would be just a great moment that we can share some advice as a team going in the wild.
You're making this a lot more generic than how specific it is to you.
It's very generic.
Okay, so let's tell the story.
On Saturday, you, myself and Caitlin from the office were out at a bar in orphaned.
Yeah, we thought we do catch up after work.
Realize Sean and I have nothing to talk about because we talk all morning together.
We sat there quite quietly.
No, we were catching up
And a male walked into the bar
Sounds like the start of a joke
He was hot
That's the end
No, so he walked into the bar
Very good looking guy, right?
We made eye contact
So good looking that I was in the middle
of telling him something
She just switched off
Yes, I just
Blind is on
In one ear out the other
I didn't just switch off
So did Katie
We both sat there and just looked at each other
And Sean was like
What am I? Chop Sui
Yes
So this very handsome man walks into the bar
and Katie and I look at each other like
oh he's quite nice
nothing happened
because neither of us knew
how to approach someone in the wild
neither of us knew at what point
what do you say
how do you do it you see someone that you're like
oh they might be nice to talk to
but people don't do it you just don't go up to
people in a bar and be like hey
how are you
why not
I don't know because I think
personally
maybe I just get in
my head that I'm like, oh, they want to, they, I don't want to disturb their evening.
They're there with their friends.
They may not want a random coming up to them and starting conversation.
But when we started talking about this, Sean, you have the very much perspective of, if you're
in the wild and you see someone, you just walk up to them.
Is that what you do?
In the wild.
In the wild.
Oh, we've got David Adam Brough with us.
Two young singletons fight for the chance to mate.
That is the worst
It's actually pretty good
At the bar of Hotel Ponsonby
In Auckland
The young soph
Stalks her male prey
I wasn't stalking him
I just looked at him
Shy, timid and unsure
What to say to him
Accurate
She remained very much seated
And decided to complain about it
On a radio program
I'm not complaining
I'm asking for advice
So what I'm saying is I would
In my single years
Approach someone and just
and I would strike up a conversation.
And I know that a lot of people don't do it
because it's not normal.
But I think that is also a pro to you
as a single person and you can very quickly
if you're intuitive enough, find out whether they do want to talk to you.
And if they don't, shut it down.
So what would your strategy or advice be?
So actually Katie and I text Meg,
usually on, Clint Meg and Dan,
and we're like, what's your little piece of advice
or your recommendation if you're in a bar
and you see someone hot?
Her advice was really cute actually.
So Katie and I were there together
and she goes,
pretend you're each other.
Not in the literal sense,
but she's like,
you look across your friend
and you're always going to hype up your friend.
You're going to be like,
you're so hot,
you're so gorgeous,
every man would want you.
Just pretend you're her.
I'm pretending I'm Katie.
Katie's pretending I'm me.
You go in with the confidence
that you would enlist on a friend
and that's how you get the confidence
to go up and talk to someone at a bar.
And you adopt their name.
Yes.
So what happens if you end up dating this person?
You're going to lie about it for the rest of your life.
I will forever be.
Katie.
Sean and Sofe.
Let's give some confidence boost.
If you have any advice on how to approach in the wild, what do you do?
So you and Caitlin, who I was out at the bar with, were both just staring at this guy.
I'm able to leave your seats and actually go and talk to him.
Staring is an operative word.
I would say glance at the best, maybe look over, gaze.
But no, we didn't do anything.
And so we thought today is the time that we share confidence.
We boost each other up and we figure out ways to approach in the wild.
Some great text coming through here, Sof.
This is a text from Chris.
As a male, I find confident woman very attractive.
Just go for it.
Okay.
Let's just walk over a bit.
Then what do I say is my question.
But a few texts coming through and what to say.
This one says, ask them a drink recommendation.
Always a good vibe if you're in a new bar.
That's a good little like combo starter.
Well, how about this one?
And this is just, this is me coming up with an idea.
If you were at a bar, maybe go up and go,
hey, what time does it really like pop off here?
That would only work if you were talking to someone who worked at the bar.
But you're like, do you come here often?
See, I'm going to text that through.
That was the next text.
Say, do you come here often?
That is so cliche.
And it's cliche because it works in speaking too.
Another text use a classic pickup line.
They never fail.
Okay, what's your best classic pickup line?
Are you a parking ticket?
Because you got fine written all over you.
Nice.
Shane decks through.
Don't try.
Everyone leaves eventually.
Shane, are you okay?
Let's get someone in touch with Shane this morning.
Okay.
Okay.
This is my least.
favorite one. I've got to read one more. Okay. Who you ever text this in? Say Sean was a creepy guy
who wouldn't leave you alone and ask if you can sit with him. Genius. I've done that before. I've done that
before. Well, no, because there was a really creepy guy that was at the bar and so I just grabbed
the closest male and I was like, Jason, oh, it's so good to see you. And he looks to me as like,
and I was like, I haven't seen you since primary school and like gave him a hug. And then the creepy guy left.
That's a good strategy
Just don't throw your friend under the bus if they haven't been creepy
There's other things that can happen
You know
The Edge with Sean and Sofe The Edge
Can't believe that this person
replied to me
Saw my message and is going to be featuring on the show next
But then Sean just said
His celebrity show and tell
Is an artist we have played this morning
So I don't know what's going to happen after 830
But there are going to be some massive names
On The Edge Breakfast of this
Right now though
This is a very bold attempt from Sof and I
to do a regular edge breakfast segment that Clint Megan Dandu called Pass the Mic.
Unfortunately, with Pass the Mike, usually there's about five people in the room so that the roast can be spread.
It's just Sean and I.
So it's going to be roasting each other mercilessly.
Hold on.
Don't bring that to the roast.
That was actually my first roast is about your inability to talk.
I can talk.
Which is, it's very bold to do this mid-show because we've got to have to follow it up with another hour and a half of chat.
So if this goes wrong, it could just be myself all Sean finishing.
the show. Okay, can I start? Well, it seems like you're going to, so, okay, you go first,
selfish man. So, I would like to pass the mic to the person who makes up the ends of popular
sayings because you can't remember how they actually go. It's fair. I would like to pass the mic
to the person who looks like Harry Potter from wish.com. It really does. If you haven't seen him,
very wish, dot. Very wish. Very wish. I would like to pass the mic to the person,
who's dated more sportsmen than Kendall Jenner.
Fine.
This is how it goes.
I would like to pass the mic to anybody
who calls themselves a DJ
but just puts USBs in the sockets.
Calvin Harris DJs with USBs.
Well, still USB DJ.
I like to pass the mic
to the person who wants to dye her hair ginger
because it made her cousin look hotter
and now she's convinced it will do the same for her.
This is true, my cousin looks really hot with ginger.
I would like to pass the mic
to the person who made multiple children
cry whilst performing at the Wiggles
and now should be banned from any
child performance ever.
There's too much hate. They couldn't handle it.
No, they couldn't. Get out of the kitchen.
I would like to pass the mic to the person who has so many
X's hoodies that she could open her own recycled boutique store.
That is not accurate.
The new exes take the old X's hoodies.
It's a rotation system.
I would like to pass the mic to the person
whose entire group of friends have moved overseas
away from him.
Oh, that hurts.
Sorry, that was low.
I'd like to pass the mic to the person who says she's 5-11 on dating apps
when she's really six foot, but she doesn't want to intimidate guys.
I would like to pass the mic to the guy who continuously chooses to wear budgy smugglers on holiday
despite packing light.
This is going so deep.
All right, I want to pass the mic to the person who slides into every young male artist DMs when they're in New Zealand
trying to shoot her shot.
I have no more.
That was my big one.
I want to pass the mic to the person who once
pashed Jesse from the office
and Clint's pool at a work party.
I just did.
Well...
Celebrity show and tell.
Coming up next.
Yep.
Do you reckon we can still be friends?
No, it's actually scandal.
I do it was therapeutic.
So you got that wrong.
It's scandal.
I'm going to take the mic
because I'm the only person
that knows how to keep the show on track.
The Edge was Sean and Soch.
Gabriel Basso.
If you haven't heard of it,
of him, you've probably seen the TV show advertised on Netflix.
It's called The Night Agent and it is the number one show.
Pretty phenomenal stuff.
Now, he, this is his first really massive breakout role as lead character.
He's had a bunch of stints in movies, Super 8, Kings of Summer.
He starred in this TV series The Big Sea.
He starred back in the day Nickelodeon on Icarly.
Really?
That was a start, yeah.
So he jumped on Jimmy Fallen and was having a chat,
and he has just become famous through his interview circuit of being the most
down-to-earth, humble guy.
So he quit acting for a while and decided to become a stone-mason wall maker.
And so outside of acting, he's like leading Netflix, the biggest show in the world,
and then he makes walls just in his hometown in the background.
And this is what he had to say about why he decides to build walls.
You're building these things that, I don't know, kind of put this business in context,
because you're like, this will last way longer than my show will last.
To go outside and you're looking at your wall,
it's it
to look at a wall and be like
wow
if they lost their Wi-Fi they couldn't watch my show
but this wall like serves a purpose
and we'll be around
it just
you're one of my favorite guests we've ever had
he said you're one of my favorite guess you've ever had
the interview goes on and Jimmy Fallon says
you are an absolutely absolutely
fascinating dude he has gone and got all
these qualifications and different things like
stone masonry fighting
he's an archer he just seems like
one of the coolest, most down-to-earth guys in Hollywood,
and I think that is going to be a big name,
and a great TV show if you haven't seen it.
I love that. The wall will stand.
Yes, the wall. Netflix might I,
but my wall that I created outside will stand.

Coming up next, the highlight of the morning, in my opinion,
Celebrity Show and Tell.
Sof and I all week have been secretly getting on different celebrities.
Whoever can bring the biggest one on the show wins.
This morning we both have international people.
The biggest we've had all week.
We've been saving them for today.
You will not believe who I've got on the show.
The story is wild.
It's been going over the weekend.
And I still do not believe this is real.
You said it's a huge international person that's never been on the edge before.
No, I don't think he's ever been.
She, it, maybe.
Has ever been on New Zealand.
and radio. I think this is an edge exclusive.
The Edge with Sean and Sof. Today I've gone
into National Sof. Sof. I've never
been so nervous. I was just telling Sean
as that song was playing. I don't think
there's ever been a time
I've been more nervous on air
for what's about to happen.
Look at my hands. Yeah. You're shaking. So you've got a
big international. How are you getting... Is it a voice note
that you've got from them? Is it a... I can't tell you.
I can't tell you what's happening. But that's going to happen next.
But it's your turn right now to shine.
Yeah. I've got someone on the phones right now. I asked you
earlier so of who would be your dream artist to interview. And I said Lewis Capaldi.
Please welcome to the edge. Lewis Capaldi.
Lewis, welcome to the show. Hello, how are you all doing?
Good, man. Thanks so much for joining us. Where are you right now? You're in a hotel or something?
I am in my hotel room. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just lounging. Just vibed out in my hotel room.
Lewis, what's your middle name? All right, it's key's cut out. All right, he's back. He's back. Lewis,
you've enjoyed the show this morning, man.
Yeah, I think he's great in it.
Yeah, he likes me.
It's had more bad press than it deserves.
I agree.
You have sound bit.
You have made a board.
You have made a board.
I haven't.
Ask Lewis a question.
I'm sure he's...
Lewis, what's your middle name?
Ask him a question that's not that one.
Lewis, what's your favourite song to sing?
Lewis, what did you like about the show this morning, man?
There's no, like, kind of deeper meaning or there's no other thing going on.
Sometimes it's just it seemed like it'd be...
it would elicit a small chuckle from someone.
Amen, I agree.
And he's specifically a big fan of me, right, Lewis.
You love me on the show this morning.
What do you like specifically about me?
On the one hand, it's like, oh, man, he must be so secure and confident in himself
because he can sort of, like, go at himself.
And he's a pretty good story as well, Lewis, you're telling me off here about you had
some bowel issues recently?
Like the other day, I had shacked, and it was, like, bright red, and I thought I was
bleeding internally.
But I had had, like, four bags of flaming hot chitos.
No, see, that, there was.
laughter in that. There was obviously
an interview. That was me laughing.
Go ahead. Ask Lewis one more question. No, because
this is a legitimate thing. I have spent
my entire weekend sussing an
international celebrity and you have just made a soundboard
of Lewis bites. I mean,
I will admit, great soundboard,
but do you know how I know it's a soundboard?
How? So we both do solo shows
on the edge. I do the edge days. Sean does the
edge nights. I have played clips of
those from BBC Radio One's
interview with Sean
well-be that I know is from that interview.
Exactly, thank you very much
Okay, move on
I need a lot of time for the next one
Okay
All right, thanks for joining us Lewis
Thank you guys for having me
Sorry, who's clapping?
Listen, Sean and me
I'm clapping
Lewis Capowdy
You wouldn't be able to beat that
I will
Huge
Now I'm even more nervous
Huge get
I'm more nervous because I feel like
People won't believe mine now
But it really happened
It really happened
Okay yeah that wasn't Louis Capowty
I've ripped the bandaid off
No
Feeling dusty
We've got you
and so.
Both Mike McRobbins and Dave Dobbin bailed on me this morning, who I was going to have.
I would like to commend the soundboard effort because it was really impressive the amount of
bites that you spent at 4.30 a.m. this morning creating.
It took longer than it would have just to have an actual celebrity on the show.
Now, this, I'm, I've never been more nervous to explain something on air ever.
You're like clammy, you're shaking, you'll be worried about this all morning.
I know, I'm a sweaty mess.
This is, I still can't believe this happened.
for my celebrity guest.
Now, if you...
So forth it's to reiterate that because mine was fake,
people were going to think this is fake?
People will think it's fake, but it's not, but it's not.
Well, wait.
Okay.
So, you may have heard in scandal,
about 10 minutes ago,
we were talking about Netflix's
biggest TV show right now
called The Night Agent.
An actor by the name of Gabrielle...
Oh my God, I've actually...
His name is Gabrielle Basso.
He is the star lead actor,
of the biggest Netflix show on the world.
He made his Jimmy Fallon debut over the weekend.
So he is big time.
I message Gabriel Basso on TikTok.
See his little TikTok account and I go,
Hey, I've just seen that you've been on Jimmy Fallon.
I really loved this bit of your interview.
I talked about the Stonewall thing.
And I said, would it be possible if here in New Zealand,
I'm working on one of the biggest radio stations in the country,
would love to talk to you about the night agent in your role?
I get a reply.
Okay, fine.
I said, oh, bit rude.
I said, oh my God, this is absolutely wild.
I cannot believe Gabriel Basso from the night agent has replied to my TikTok DM.
We're going to get him on the show.
And I was like, awesome.
I'll just need like a number.
Then we can call.
We can pre-record.
It sends me a number.
I'd like you to play the little snippet that says important soundbite.
This is what happened when I called the number off TikTok.
The number you have called is not currently active or is invalid.
Please check the number and dial again.
I was like, I've been done by Gabrielle Basso.
So then I do what I do best.
I go to Instagram and I slid into his DMs.
500,000 followers on Instagram, just come off Jimmy Fallon.
And I read in his Instagram bio, it says,
this is my only form of social media.
I'm like, oh my God.
Who is Gabrielle Basso on, like,
who's this guy on TikTok that I've been talking to as if he was the actor?
So I send Gabrielle Basso, the real one on Instagram and message.
and I said, hey, I'm so sorry for the random message.
I'm from New Zealand.
Someone on TikTok has agreed to do a radio interview with me.
Is it you?
Do you have a burn a TikTok?
The real Gabrielle Basso, lead actor of the night agent, replies and goes,
I'm so sorry, this is not me on TikTok.
This is my only social media account.
And I went, oh my God, you replied.
This is wild.
And then this is my.
what he sent through. Hey Sophie, that was not me on TikTok. I do not have a TikTok. I am in my
20s. I hope the interview went well with the imposter. Tell them you ran it by me and that I
asked to ask that they get put on the show because they might turn out to be a little
interesting if not a little weird, but it'd be kind of funny. Wow. A real game.
Gabriel Bassel.
So, star of the night agent on Netflix,
just made his Jimmy Fallon debut in America,
and then the next morning is on the Edge, New Zealand.
Kind of more so to clear up the fact that he doesn't have a TikTok though
than to be on the show.
I asked him if he said he would say,
hey, Sophie, and the message, and he did.
And then he said, please try to call the guy,
which I did, and obviously I couldn't get through to the imposter,
but I did try to talk to the imposter.
And then, in an update, Gabriel Basso messages this morning
and goes, hey, how did that?
interview go. Keep me posted.
So now the edge... You've been DMing him.
The Edge is friends with the biggest Netflix star
in the world and I win. Definitely not
the worst. Sean and Sophie.
Whoever brings the biggest wins the most points.
Last week, some big names. Yeah, we had a lot
of high class New Zealand
celebrities. You'd say, you know,
we had the likes of Art Green, the band Cotery
joined the show, David Seymour.
And it was quite an exciting time, but Sean
and I decided to step up and really bring
the A team today because
it's our last time on Edge Breakfast. Clint Megan Dan will be
in your arms on Wednesday.
So we went all out.
I had Lewis Capaldi
joined the show earlier.
What's your middle name?
Ask him a question that's not that one.
Lewis, what's your favourite song to sing?
Lewis, what did you like about the show this morning, man?
There's no like kind of deepening or there's no other thing going on.
Okay, we found out very quickly that my real celebrities,
which were Dave Dobbin and Mike McRobbins actually both bailed on me this morning.
But you made a really great Lewis Capaldi soundboard,
and for 10 seconds, I was incredibly nervous
that you had gotten, Lewis Capaldi.
Now, I went, you may not know necessarily the name of this person,
Gabrielle Basso, but he is the lead actor on Netflix's number one series right now,
The Night Agent, and I accidentally got catfished by someone impersonating him on TikTok,
but then I messaged the real version of him on Instagram,
and he sent a voice message to clarify that, in fact, I had not spoken to him.
Hey, Sophie, that was not me on TikTok.
I do not have a TikTok.
like I am in my 20s.
A bit of shade there.
He was a great guy.
He was a great guy.
It is 20s.
I feel like it's prime TikTok years.
Anyway, going to the judging panel right now.
We've got producer Ash,
Casey the boss.
I think I'm up at the moment.
Oh, it doesn't...
Oh, I don't know.
I've kind of lost track of, but...
We'll start today.
You each get it out of 10 points.
We'll go producer Ash first.
Out of 10 for Sean's celebrity.
Out of 10?
If you had gone in Lewis Capaldi,
that would have been a 10 out of 10.
But you didn't.
So I'm going to give you a one
because it's the lowest I can give you.
Yeah, I got a one.
That's right.
You're on the board.
No, it's not true.
Casey gave Sophie a negative one the other day.
You know what?
One's pretty good.
All right, to Casey the boss for fake Lewis Capaldi.
Casey, you're the boss, man.
Come on.
Hello.
There I am.
Hey.
Got to show me how to turn the mic on.
Yeah, I agree.
One out of ten, Sean.
The one point comes for the moment the look on Sof's face for the half second
where she might have thought you had Lewis Capaldi.
There's like a glass window in the studio and the boss and all our work friends
work out there and I turned around and genuinely looked like I was about to lose my socks.
It was crazy.
I didn't.
My socks is still firmly on my feet.
Still very much on the feet.
All right.
All right.
And so, forgetting the actor.
From the night agent.
Gabriel Basso, who I only heard about this morning.
Big name.
Massive name.
Ash.
I reckon that was such a good get.
I loved your persistent.
So if you got a fake person and you still persisted and you got the real things,
that's obviously a 10 out of 10.
I got a 10.
A 10 out of 10.
of 10 for that.
Okay, fair enough.
He was on Jimmy Fallon yesterday and now was on the edge.
That's wild.
All right, Casey the boss.
Amazing, get.
So if not a 10, because he wasn't in person, he wasn't live,
maybe he could walk down the street without people knowing who he was.
But I tell you what, he was on Fallon, and then he was on the edge.
That is an 8 out of 10.
Thank you.
Casey, the boss.
So if I think you've taken it this morning with a strong 18 versus a 2.
May I just say, only New Zealand radio station he features on.
Pretty big get.
Hey, can you joke us a croissant?
The edge.
With Sean and Sophie.
The edge.
