Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. Broadcasting live from Christchurch, as we build up to the most hype-festy of the summer, Electric Avenue. It's The Edge Breakie, with Clint, Meg and Dan. Good morning, Clint, Meg and Dan. Live from Christchurch. Yeah, the Majestic Cafe, how bloody good, we've got coffees all ready.
Starting point is 00:00:24 And we are looking forward to a massive two-day festival at Electric Avenue, Christchurch. Yeah, the Majestic Cafe. How bloody good. We've got coffees all ready and we are looking forward to a massive two-day festival at Electric Ave in Christchurch. We're broadcasting live from a hotel this morning and Meg, someone in the kitchen said morning and I think it was to another staff member and Meg thought it was to her. And she went back, morning! But it wasn't to her. No reply.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Is that why you were grabbing my leg like, I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying. It was awful. It was awful, Meg. I feel a second-hand embarrassment for her. So good. Hey, if you didn't know, 8 a.m. this morning, we're doing a live cash draft. Dan is going to head to Hagley Park, and we're going to drop him off somewhere near the netball courts. He'll have $2,000 and a double-passable electric av.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Dan. Do you have a gold envelope attached to you, and it's the first to pull the envelope off you? Exactly right, Clint. Yeah, big golden envelope. It'll be on my front and it'll be attached to this cash-strapped vest, okay? And I believe you may or...
Starting point is 00:01:12 I believe you might be disqualified if you tackle him, so you cannot tackle the man. Yeah, I mean, I've been saying all along, just come and spear-tackle me, but I think that's against the rules. Well, you could spear-tackle Dan, but if someone then goes and takes the envelope off his chest. Off my lifeless body?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Yeah, that's fine. You get it. Alright, it's going to be a really fun show. Proper catch-up next before we officially kick off the show. And good on you, Nathan, for texting through. He's just said, good morning, team. I feel like Dan deserves a weekend on Clint's jet ski for doing all the running today. And I agree
Starting point is 00:01:43 with you, Nathan. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Live from Christchurch for Electric Ave this weekend. Good to be here. Yeah, we're at Majestic Cafe if you want to come and pop in if you're in Christchurch. Yeah. And last night we were at the Mud for a quiz. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:01:58 It was the first time we absolutely owned in a quiz. Meg and I would pretty much do it on our own. Yeah. We were in the lead at the beginning and no one ever took it off us. It was buzzing. It was the first time I've ever been that good at a quiz. Meg and I would pretty much do it on our own. We were in the lead at the beginning and no one ever took it off us. It was buzzing. It was the first time I've ever been that good at a quiz. It was like a Slumdog Millionaire quiz. It was like every question they asked, I was about to
Starting point is 00:02:14 give the answer to Meg and Meg was already writing it down. It was such a high. I don't know about this. I don't think you can organise an Edge quiz and then The Edge wins it. It doesn't make sense. We did it. We were disqualified but we did actually win it. Yes, there quiz and then The Edge wins it. It doesn't make sense. We did it. Well, we didn't. We were disqualified, but we did actually win it. Yeah, I mean, yes, there were questions about The Edge,
Starting point is 00:02:30 you know, like the new Drive announcer. That was an easy one, Harrison, because he works with us. And there was a lot of scandal stuff, which Meg reports on. Oh, I felt so special with those because they were all my stories and I was like, well, I know this. Did you get 10 out of 10 for that? I did. I got 10 out of 10. Yeah, yeah. And then the one second song. We were all over it.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I will say, because I was away doing some work like I always am, the hardest worker on the show. And then I came back halfway through the quiz and you were second. And then after I'd arrived back, we were first. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, they gave us second because they said the winners are the edge. But because they can't win, because our team named Conflict of Interest, they said first place is. And so they sound like we're second,
Starting point is 00:03:08 but they meant actually we just couldn't win, so that's why they kept giving us an honourable mention. We were very much so coming first before you came back. Yeah, yeah. So I think we're talking about it today, quizzes. Love a pub quiz. Why don't, because we do a segment on our show called the Gen Z Quiz. We could do, we could take that on the road.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I think Yaz already does that. That's what we meant to last night. Yeah, so she could host. She could host it still, but it's more like questions just for Gen Z people. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, and then we could do like a millennial quiz and it's like generational. Okay, so does that mean if it's a Gen Z quiz, you have to be 28 or younger to enter? Oh, Clint, I haven't come up with all the rules yet.
Starting point is 00:03:45 And have you talked to your wife about travelling the country and being away? Yeah, she doesn't care about that. In fact, I think she prefers it when I'm away. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't heard from her since I left. That's not a good sign. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a good sign.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Yeah. Yeah, well, yeah, just so you know, we did very well answering questions about ourselves. Yeah. It was just nice because every quiz I normally go to, I do normally feel like a dummy. Yeah, and do you do this, Meg, where you sit there and they go, all right, so what is the capital of Guatemala?
Starting point is 00:04:15 And everyone goes. This is how I answer. Oh, what is Guatemala? I think Guatemala is the capital of itself. I think Guatemala is. Trick question. I've heard that. I've heard that.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I think that's right. And then you just validate someone else's answer. And just so you know, Guatemala is the capital of Guatemala. And by the way, if they got that wrong, that's when I was going, I didn't think so. Damn, I knew I should have gone with my own thoughts. Yeah, bugger. I just backed you.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yeah, I backed you. Yeah, exactly. Hey, if you want free coffee for the weekend, then just give us a call. Thanks to our show sponsor, Zed. We'll see if we can saw you out. As we get to know everyone that listens to the show more intimately one at a time. Yeah, come see us as well.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Majestic Cafe in Christchurch. We're here today. And then we're at Electric Avenue for today and tomorrow as well. So come see us if you see us. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Jane Walker, Coastie Girl, 10 past 6. Clint, Meg and Dan live from Christchurch for Electric Ave, getting to know everyone that listens to our show a little bit more intimately,
Starting point is 00:05:08 one at a time. Jay joins us on the show this morning. What are you doing? How you doing? Hi, Jay. How you doing? Hey, Jay, you're in Christchurch. Come see us.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, we are. I hope you bring your raincoat today. Oh, yeah. It was beautiful yesterday. I know. I heard because I'm doing this cash trip run later this morning.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Hopefully the rain stays away until then because there was talk of getting me like rugby boots. So if it gets muddy, I can still have grip in the grass. What are you doing up this early?
Starting point is 00:05:39 I think I'm up in a... Friday, Jay. Oh, driving down to one of our job sites. Every morning we leave the same time. Yeah. Wait, Jay, are you the guy that delivers produce?
Starting point is 00:05:53 Or is that different, Jay? Maybe. No, different. That was going to be my question. I was going to be like, go Mick. She's got a good memory. She smashed that and then the opposite happened. Okay, question for Jay this morning.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Anybody got anything? I think you could ask what he's doing because... I think you just said though, didn't he? Were you not listening? He was driving. I didn't hear where he was going. Clem, would you like to answer that? I feel like Jay's like, yeah, g'day, mate.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, it's going to be rain this day. It makes me think that the rain is important to his profession. So I'm thinking, I don't know how far you'd travel if you were like a concrete contractor, like if you're pouring concrete or footings. I think he's got something to do with footings and concrete and boxing stuff up. I think he's driving, but I think he stays in the truck,
Starting point is 00:06:46 and it's just freight, and the weather affects him because of driving conditions. Oh, yeah, so he's a nervous driver. No, no. Okay. I think that Jay, I think you're onto something there, Clint. I think he does something outdoorsy, but I think, I wonder whether he's some sort of landscaper,
Starting point is 00:07:05 you know? So he does rely on, you know, like a nice weather to do his landscaping. So I think he's on his way to the job site to do some landscaping today.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Okay. Are any of us close, Jay? Or are we miles off? Well, Clint, you're the one that's nearly banging the nail
Starting point is 00:07:21 on the head nearly. Oh, get in. What do you do? Well, we build bridges and stuff. We're a construction worker. Yeah, we'll take that. Yeah, and you've got to be putting concrete left, right and centre, I guess, if you're making a bridge.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Hey, do you have gumboot tan lines? Clint was pointing out people that he thought were builders to me yesterday at the airport because he could see gumboot tan lines. I said to Meg, I was like, he's a builder? And she goes, how do you know? And I was like, check out his Gumboot Tan. And you know how my old man used to have it where you have got hairy legs
Starting point is 00:07:50 and then two thirds of the way down, you just have no hair because the Gumboots rub all the hair off. Wow. You got those, Jay? No, I don't have that. But because I've just come back from Palmerston North for the weekend
Starting point is 00:08:01 and went up there for the team's racing and I've managed to get my tan line out. Nice. Oh, nice. Usually he does, though. All right. Well, back to work, mate. Yeah, back to work.
Starting point is 00:08:10 If the hair's not rubbing off about a third of the way up your leg, mate, you're not doing it hard enough. Well done, Jay. Thanks for calling. Yeah, hold there, Jay, and we'll sort you out with some coffees. Thanks. Thanks to our show sponsor, Zed. Appreciate you guys.
Starting point is 00:08:23 You can actually, if you're going to swing by, we actually grabbed ours nice and early this morning. 6.50, your love, Zed's new chilled drinks range. Strawberry matcha, coffee bubbles. In fact, strawberry matcha is all the thing at the moment. I'm mixing them together. All the rage. All the rage.
Starting point is 00:08:37 I had a dream about strawberry matcha last night. What a dumb dream. I just remembered. I literally had a dream about it. This is coming from the same girl who one time had a dream about how she came second in her own
Starting point is 00:08:48 Taekwondo competition can you write down every dream you have every night and just so we have a list I reckon we could have a coffee table book of like Meg's dreams
Starting point is 00:08:56 and then you have the date and what the dream was and none of it will make sense I didn't like it just had a story matcha also if you want to text in 3343
Starting point is 00:09:04 we've had a couple of texts say Meg's voice is a little muffled. Am I sounding better? That's just normal, though, isn't it? Oh, is it? Yeah. Oh, my God, now. There's too many gins last night, babe. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Embarrassing. Yeah, embarrassing wasn't... I think even worse than inappropriate probably T-shirts. I have them in a bag here. We haven't seen them, but they have been delivered to me. I am in charge. Yeah. It is tempting to have a look.
Starting point is 00:09:31 It's one of those things, if you've ever done pranks with friends, where I'm excited to laugh at you two, but I'm also, I know that I'm about to get hit hard too. It's kind of a fun thing. You could do it at any festival. I guess you could do it with a holiday as well. Like if you're going on a trip with friends. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:47 You order each other t-shirts. It just breaks the ice from the inside. It gives the vibes out. Yeah. I think we've all gone a bit hard. Well, I think you guys went hard-ish. And then everyone who saw my initial shirt design that you two had chosen for me went, Oh, Clint's gotten off lightly.
Starting point is 00:10:02 So then you guys absolutely tripled down and now people are saying that they're going to have to blur my shirt in videos. I think this is the first time and correct me if I'm wrong that Clint may be the worst off of the three of us.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I think he might be. I told you what he was going to be, didn't I, Clint? Yeah. Yeah, it was going to be breaking hearts and blowing farts. And the boss was the one that changed it.
Starting point is 00:10:22 He's like, it's too easy for Clint. Clint will get away with it again. Okay. Well, let's see what people around the edge thought when they were shown the T-shirt designs whilst they were on their way to being delivered to Meg. This is what people thought of Dan's. Dan's.
Starting point is 00:10:38 F***ing awful, though. It's the font, isn't it? Yeah, it's f***ing awful. Oh, my God. I think it's beautiful font for a not-so-beautiful message. Perfect. Absolutely amazing. Would absolutely suit you, Dan.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Gorgeous. I think he's being let off the lighters, maybe. But I don't know if they're, like, being nice to throw me off the scent. That could happen. I've got a feeling that you guys have told them just say it's nice and then I reveal it. You know what? Knowing what yours is
Starting point is 00:11:08 because Meg and I chose it and not knowing what you'd chosen I would take your shirt. Like I would take your shirt now and take yours and burn it.
Starting point is 00:11:17 My husband who knows both of yours Clint and Dan he has said he would wear Clint's in a heartbeat versus the one that Dan has. Oh okay.
Starting point is 00:11:24 So maybe I shouldn't do that. All right, let's take a listen to what the workmates at the Edge thought of Meg's T-shirt design she'll be wearing at Electric Ave this weekend. All right, next we've got Meg's. What the f***? She's f***ed, does she? I'd be very embarrassed wearing it, I think. And I feel like that could go horribly wrong.
Starting point is 00:11:44 I wouldn't wear it personally, but each their own, not going to yucky yum. Oh my gosh. That is f***ing horrible. Relevant. Yep. Brilliant. Oh God. Of course, Carol from The Night Show would say that,
Starting point is 00:11:59 which means it's bad. But the thing is, I think we've actually done Meg a real favour, because her shirt is going to be one of those ones that causes people to stop and converse with her, which is really lucky because she's going to get to meet everybody this weekend more than you and I. I think Meg's one is more of a call to action. Would you agree with me, Clint, to people that see the shirt as a call to action?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Like, please come and chat with me. And if anyone, I guess, knows me well, knows that that is why they've done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He hates talking. All right, and going to the worst one, the one that had to get revised after the boss said
Starting point is 00:12:33 he got off too easy and then Dan, do you know, I might go through my messages to see how the conversation went between me and Dan because I said it cannot be done. And I looked last night,
Starting point is 00:12:41 I looked last night and it was me. Yeah, it was you. I did because I was like, I said that it's too far, it's not good and he was like it's the best. No, let's take a listen to what the edgies thought. Wow, this is Clint's.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Is he actually? There's some creatures that electric abs and that actually might be a good shirt. I don't think a shirt would ever suit a man more than that one for Clint. Like, genuinely. Oh, no, that's the worst one. That is absolutely the worst one.
Starting point is 00:13:10 That's crazy. Okay, Clint's. Yeah. And the thing is, Clint's told us both, Meg, that the thing we've put on the shirt, it's not a lie, it's a fact. It's the truth. Oh, now save that the thing we've put on the shirt, it's not a lie, it's a fact. It's the truth. Oh, now save that for when I open the package and read the t-shirt designer.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Those are your words. It's the most factual one of the shirts of the three. I haven't seen mine, but I know yours is not factual. Let's hope yours is not factual. I promise. This is a warning to anyone that's just tuned into the show. Dan's is not factual. Just to is not factual.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Just to be your mate. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. It's like a little brag bag though. Yeah, we haven't done this in ages. In fact, we definitely haven't done it this year. This is the time that you reflect on something that you've done. You can either say the start of this, we can do one for 2025 since we haven't done it yet,
Starting point is 00:14:00 or you can just do it this week, or the last few hours of something that you have done that you're really proud of, that maybe especially in New Zealand, we just don't brag about ourselves very much. Can I kick it off? Yeah, go on. Something Meg and I did, actually, just yesterday that I was really proud of.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Actually, just the two of us smashed teams of six in the Edge Quiz night last night. We did. Smashed the whole bar. It's the first time I've ever won a quiz, and we were at the top from the first round, and Smashed the whole bar. It's the first time I've ever won a quiz. And we were at the top from the first round, and we never lost the lead. It was just me and him, and we worked together, and we listened to each other.
Starting point is 00:14:31 It was so nice. The thing is, though, it was the edge quiz, so you'd expect you to be good. Oh, stop bringing us down. I know, but that's the thing. I've never been in a quiz that I'm good at. Yeah. And yes, Meg reported in all the scandal stories that were in the scandal round. And yes, the one second song are songs that we play quite frequently. And there were questions about the edge and new employees that are now our friends and workmates.
Starting point is 00:14:53 But who cares? It was our Slumdog Millionaire moment. We knew all the answers. It was amazing. Can I have one? Sure. I wanted to talk about and brag, to be honest, about how I've changed my diet. I've changed the way I eat now.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And I, at the start of the year, said I was going to give up sugar, which has been difficult and I've fallen off the bandwagon just a couple of times. But I will say this. I've completely changed. I was eating sugar willy-nilly. I was eating sugar here. I was eating sugar there, cookienilly. I was eating sugar here. I was eating sugar there. Cookie here.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Something else there sugary. Now I have just a little bit of sugar every day, and I'm feeling a lot better. Well done, Dan. Yeah. Well done, Dan. Ragbag is not a place to tease each other. I know.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Okay. When we went to Zed and got coffees this morning, and they come with three little cookie time cookies, I fell off the bandwagon a bit. Yeah. I had a couple of cookies. Sue me. He goes, can I have a cookie because I need to take my riddle in?
Starting point is 00:15:48 And I said, oh, do you have to take riddle in with food? And he goes, no. And then he goes, I'm going to save them for later on this morning. How long did it last? He said until 6.30. He smashed them at 5.34. Exactly. But normally I would have had about seven of those cookies.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I only had three. Good for you then, Dan. Thank you. Is that what you say, Meg? Yes. Good on you. Good on you. I think that's what it's meant to be.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Okay. You want to join us for a brag bag? Let us know what you've done this week or like Meg even said, even this year. And we'll celebrate with you. Yeah, that's all good. I'll do my next. Yeah, Meg can go if it's her. She's got nothing to brag about.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Miserable. I'll do my next. Yeah, we save Meg's so that people don't She's got nothing to brag about. Miserable. I'll do my next. Yeah, we save Meg's so that people don't go anywhere and listen to anyone else. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. But first, we're going to go to Sammy, who's absolutely got something to brag about. Hi, Sammy. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:16:40 How are we? Good. You sound great. What's going on with you, Sammy? What's your brag bag this morning? So, humble brag, humble brag, but I'm beating cancer at the moment. Kicking its ass, Sammy. How long have you known or had cancer?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Known since end of September. Oh, God, that's a really short turnaround, my darling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sam, that's awful. It's going good. What a horrible thing to hear. It's going well. Oh, that's good. That's really, really, really cool and positive to hear.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So you're doing chemo and radiation, or where is your current journey at with it? Just a whole heap of chemo. A whole heap of chemo. Wow, you sound really chipper for someone who's been injected with chemo. Because from what I've been told, isn't great but I guess if you're getting the results coming back and is it a tumour that's like shrinking? Is that what's going on? Yeah, I've got about
Starting point is 00:17:31 30 of them in my lungs. Oh wow, you're so chipper. It's really not, you know, you can't choose the card you're dealt with, you've just got to play them. Wow what an inspiration you are and I hope that we only get more and more of these phone calls're dealt with. You've just got to play them. Wow, Sam, what an inspiration you are. And I hope that we only get more and more of these phone calls throughout the year
Starting point is 00:17:49 of you just calling up and giving us updates that you're just kicking its ass consistently. When's your next treatment? I'm on my way. I'm on my way. Oh, wow. Well, and the doctor's obviously very hopeful that you're going to be able to continue to progress. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Well, and the doctor's obviously very hopeful that you're going to be able to continue to progress. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Oh, yeah, we're kicking it, but... Oh, that's awesome, Sammy. You're a real inspiration, I think, to us and also I think a lot of people listening going, Sammy's attitude, going to get chemotherapy right now and you're absolutely selling out your loving life, I think it probably puts a lot of things in perspective for people driving to work this morning.
Starting point is 00:18:25 This is a very small thing, Sammy, but do you have a Clint, Meg and Dan t-shirt? We can send you one out to wear if you want. Oh my God, say less. Yes, please. It's like all I've got in front of me right now. So, Sammy, stay there. We'll get your details and you can continue to wear it
Starting point is 00:18:43 and see if it... But, like, yeah, loving your attitude and loving your positivity and thank you so much for calling us this morning. Yeah. Puts a lot of things into perspective, I think. Totally. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Sammy. Thanks for calling, Sammy.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Really appreciate it. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. It's just gone five past seven. We are at the Majestic Cafe in Christchurch for Electric Avenue this weekend. If you want to go for free as well, Dan currently is standing beside a safe with a promo we've been running in Christchurch. It's Nick the Tix.
Starting point is 00:19:15 And we just gave away the location and the code. Which is bizarre because he's been standing still. Dan, are you there? I'm here, guys. And I am with someone already. Belinda has just run up. Morning, Belinda. Morning.
Starting point is 00:19:29 So you just heard this one. You must have been at the perfect location, because we announced it, and you were here instantly. Yeah, no, I was heading to the gym, and then I heard it, and I came over. Okay, so you've heard the code? Yeah. Okay, so you need to...
Starting point is 00:19:41 It's very tall. The safe is quite up high, and you're, dare I say it, like the tallest individual. Yeah, she's quite small, so I don't know if she very tall. The safe is quite up high. Or is Belinda quite small? Not the tallest individual. Yeah, she's quite small, so I don't know if she's going to be able to reach the safe. Let's have a go. Okay, so she's going to go up. Here she goes. She's reaching right up to the safe.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Oh, my God. Three. Three. Here she goes. Press the tick. She's got them. She's got the tickets. It's not shocking because we did give the code out, but that is very exciting.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Was Belinda planning to go with these extra friends, or has she now just changed her whole weekend? Yeah, were you planning to go, or has your whole weekend changed? Whole weekend changed. I wasn't going to go. This is amazing. So this is the first set of tickets we've got to give away today. Well done, Belinda. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:26 How great. And if you don't want to squish all your mates into an Uber and you want to get to Electric Ave on the Friday and the Saturday, then we have free buses. And Friday's today, Clint. Yeah, yeah. So free bus trips to Electric Ave today and tomorrow between 3 and 5. Driven by Bentley Coachlines,
Starting point is 00:20:42 your specialist tour and charter bus provider. If you want to know where the buses are, just text BUS to 3343 and we'll send you back the pickup times and locations so you can jump on and join us. All right, Dan, back to the studio, I guess. Yeah, I'm heading back now and I will be driving that bus this afternoon. So if you're wanting to come along. No, no, no. Daniel, you're not driving.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I'm sorry, I don't know if we got to tell you. I know you wanted to, but you didn't pass your license, so we couldn't do that. Oh, bugger. Oh, okay. Yeah, I didn not driving. I'm sorry. I don't know if we got to tell you. I know you wanted to, but you didn't get, you didn't pass your license. So we couldn't do that. Oh, bugger. Oh, okay. Yeah. I did not know that person did not. That's the issue.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. We have relationship expert for you married at first sight. Australia fans on the show with us. John Aiken. Morning, John. Hey, John. Good morning. There he is.
Starting point is 00:21:24 How are we guys? Good. We're looking forward to being. There he is. How are we, guys? Good. We're looking forward to being here in New Zealand. We're here next month. You can pop into studio. Absolutely. Love to spread the maths word in person. Well, John, it will be depending on whether you walk away from this chat wanting to see us,
Starting point is 00:21:38 because I think Clint's got some hard questions for you, my friend, as he always does. He always does. As he always does. He always does. Hey, you know I love the show, John, and we love you as well. And you're so charismatic and you're so warm and you win us over so quickly. This is what they call a compliment sandwich.
Starting point is 00:21:53 But I've been watching this. I've got a notes section on my phone that's just called John Aiken. And it's the things that I, when I'm watching the show, I'm like, right, I've got to ask John about that. And I'm writing them down. John, the unprecedented thing that has happened this season that keeps being called the unprecedented, that I think is a little too coincidental for you to not know
Starting point is 00:22:13 that not only have four people dated outside of joining this season of maths, but somehow you managed to actually pair them up and marry them together as well. I'm not a statistician. I don't know what the odds are of that happening, but it seems pretty unlikely. Do you sometimes go, look, we've done their credentials, we've looked at their backgrounds, they look like they want love,
Starting point is 00:22:35 and then they come on the show, and a lot of cases I find, John, that I look at them and I go, they're not there for love, they're there for Instagram followers, or they're there for fame. They're trying to be controversial to get people talking and remember their name. Do you ever go, do you ever watch people on it and go, that's what they're here for, not love? Oh, look, we get very disappointed
Starting point is 00:22:53 that we find out things about them that we didn't know. Yeah, Elliot sucked and you absolutely gave him both barrels and I was like, get him, John. But, you know, Elliot was a classic and in a way it's great, you know, to have someone like Elliot on the show because he gives you insight into what's going on in the dating world out there. These guys have got these mindsets, you know, that they're picking up from TikTok
Starting point is 00:23:13 and they're bringing it onto the show. They want the warrior mindset or the trad wives. They've got this long list of non-negotiables and the grass is always greener. And so you're actually watching on the show, getting a sense of how difficult it is for singles out there to find someone special. John, tell me, tell me how Nick bamboozled you. I should not Nick, Tim bamboozled you to being with Katie and the most glorious
Starting point is 00:23:40 woman that has graced our TV screens. I mean, I watched a bit of what you would have seen with the process and going through what he was saying of like, he's not looking for anything in particular. He's looking for a good personality and it's almost like he ate his words
Starting point is 00:23:56 completely. He's got a long list. Were you just as shocked? Because I know you guys have been berated online for how dare they set up this, like, asshole with this sweetheart. Was that on purpose? Obviously, you're not going to sit there and admit that anybody would do that on purpose.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Or were you truly just as, like, bewildered that he was saying things completely different to his interview? Yeah, we were bewildered. You know, we're, like, sitting there going, what? You know, we didn't think that you had a type. You know, you wanted someone who was kind and who was ambitious and who had a great personality. There was no sense of a particular looks or type at all.
Starting point is 00:24:34 But see, this is what happens on the show, and this is why we cop so much flack, is because when we do assess them, they tell us certain things, but then when the show starts, we find out different things about them that really then blow the whole relationships up. Yeah. And sometimes they don't know it themselves. You know, they'll say, I'm ready for commitment.
Starting point is 00:24:52 I want a relationship. This is why I'm here. Then you put them in the show and they've got commitment issues or they do have certain types or they've got trauma of the past that they're not really fully recovered from. You must have been. Or they just don't have the chemistry. So it just blows it up. It must have been so disappointing seeing that one, though,
Starting point is 00:25:09 because you must have sat there and known how it would look as the experts because she is so great. And you go, no, we would never. Do you know what you need, John? In the next season of Maths, you need like an ejector seat twist where the experts can just eject one of the rooms. And they go, boom, out of the show. Actually, that's not what we thought.
Starting point is 00:25:24 They were going to be like, Katie deserves better, we'll get someone else in. Yeah, we're going to use the ejector seat. He's like, poof, and then see you later. He's gone. He's not even in presence. It's like a mixture of the voice. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:25:35 We're absolutely open to all ideas. I like where your head's at there. We, John, have been told by you that there is a lot of drama to come. If we think we're seeing drama now, we ain't seen nothing yet. All right, John, we've got a couple of listeners that want to ask you some questions.
Starting point is 00:25:49 First up, we've got Jane. Jane, morning. Hi, how's it going? Hi, it's good, Jane. Jane, you've got John on the other line. What was the question for him? John, I just totally don't believe you when you say those relationships, those ex-relationships were all a coincidence.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Like, there's no way that there are two couples, ex-couples on the show. And I just want you to talk on that. She must have missed our first chat there, John. Well, look, I can tell you absolutely, I can absolutely tell you, Jane, that we were shocked and surprised. We've never had it before. And frankly, we don't look to match people that have known each other.
Starting point is 00:26:27 We want strangers. And so when it happened, we were thrown into sort of this confusion as to what to do about it. But with maths, we always go with whatever storyline comes out. And in this case, it's like, well, they met without the experts involved previously. What's going to happen when they have the experts in their corner? Can they turn it around? So he went with it. Okay, well, on that then, how long is the vetting process?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Because obviously, yeah, there are couples who have dated before and are now finding themselves married. But obviously, with the exception of a few lads, a lot of the guys suck this season. Yeah. And I mean that in terms of like they're just shitty husbands. Awful. And I'm like, how much vetting actually goes on before you ask them,
Starting point is 00:27:12 hey, yes, we would love you on the show, and they sign on the dotted line? Well, I think what you're seeing is what we see after we put them into the experiment. So you can test them with different psychometric assessments. You can meet them. You can do Zoom calls, read their backgrounds. You can do all of that over a two-month period. But ultimately, what we don't know is what's going to happen when the cameras roll. And some personalities, they just absolutely blow up and become huge and start behaving poorly.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Other personalities shrink. And so what you're seeing here is couples that we feel are very strongly compatible suddenly blowing up in front of our eyes. Oh, he is good. There's a number of men, a number of men that are behaving very poorly. All right, Amy's got a tough question for you, John. Let's see how you respond. Last one, and then you're free, I think, John. Amy, what's your question for John?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Hi, John. I have been watching the season this year, and I just wanted to ask why in 2025 we're still doing the challenge with couples where they're ranking each other from least attractive to most attractive? Yeah. Hey, that's a good question. The challenge that you're talking about is one that we came up with
Starting point is 00:28:23 a number of seasons ago, which essentially assesses someone's emotional intelligence and their ability to read the room and to have a delicate conversation and most people are able to figure it out very quickly but there's always one or two every single year who essentially completely drop the ball and do the wrong thing. And that's often a sign that they are not going to make it or that they're not going to be able to have the emotional intelligence to survive the experiment. So that's why we still do it. But every year we look at certain challenges and decide whether or not they're still work their place in the show. In your eyes, where we currently are in the season, who did you think was most likely to make it through the other end and who were you really worried about?
Starting point is 00:29:12 While there is huge amounts of drama right now with this cast early on in the piece, the really big dramatic moments are still to come. Damn. From people that you least expect. Wow. Okay. Well, no, that you least expect. Wow. Okay. That's a tease. No one's perfect forever, eh?
Starting point is 00:29:27 I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off these couples that are on their high horses looking down at all the other couples. Yeah. We look forward to it. Make sure when you're in New Zealand next month, our door is always open, John. Jump in the studio with us. We'd love to chat to you again. And we've got all the controversial questions out now, so it'll be nice.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Oh, there'll be more, I'm sure. Oh, no. There's more. There's more in Clint's folder, don't worry. It's an open notes app, so I'll continue to add to it over the next few weeks. Thanks, John. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
Starting point is 00:29:55 We wanted to talk about the double house crash in West Auckland where someone was asleep and a car just came flying through their house and into their bedroom. They were woken up by flying through their house and into their bedroom. They were woken up by headlights in their bed. In their car. In their house.
Starting point is 00:30:10 A car in their house. Yeah, I believe it was something like 3.35 in the morning. And I can't even imagine the kind of shock. I mean, you would have obviously woken up to the biggest, loudest crash ever, but then headlights in your face. True. It's so confusing as well, like so disorienting. If you know anything about it or the people who own the home, we've been trying to get in touch with them and track them down.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Get in touch with us, let us know. 0800 The Edge, we'd love to. I hope they're doing okay. Yeah, I guess just chat to them about the whole ordeal. Yeah, we would give away the address and get you to go and knock on their door, but the door's gone. Yeah, yeah. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Time for Employee of the Week. We don't say who deserves it, we throw each other under the bus, and whoever gets the least amount of shade thrown at them typically wins. Okay, I'm going to go first because apparently I don't have an alliance with him anymore. So I'm going to throw Dan under the bus. Well, the problem is me. We've had alliances, and you've just thrown them out the window. Right, so I am throwing Dan under the bus with Employee of the Week
Starting point is 00:31:03 because we did a segment earlier in the week talking about nicknames and there was one nickname in particular that Dan could not stop laughing about to the point that we had somebody on air and he didn't listen to a single word of their story because we were laughing the whole time at the smelly hole nickname. Yeah. Go on, go on. Shelly Coles checks through.
Starting point is 00:31:22 People used to call her smelly hole. Shelly. Shelly, you poor girl. Poor Shelly. This is why my husband needs to do his work. Okay, we have Jackie on 0800 The Edge. Do you want to take her, Dan? Jackie. Sorry, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Jackie, do you want her, do you? Yeah. Morning, Jackie. Hello, how are you guys? You're better than Dan. Actually, not as good as Dan. Oh, Jackie. Hello. How are you guys? Better than Dan. Actually, not as good as Dan. Oh, I'm loving it. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:31:50 God. How does Jeff... Take a breath, Dan. Take a breath. Sorry. Sorry. I'll sit this one out. Yeah, to be fair, she was such a good sport, Jackie, to know that Dan was happy to sit
Starting point is 00:32:02 that one out. But that was the only one that held that break together. Anyway, well, I'm going to throw Clint under the bus this week because I think Clint quite often, Meg, I know you agree with me on this, that he gets away with a lot on the show. Absolutely he does. But he hasn't got away with the name that he called his beautiful daughter Cam. It sounds like an innocent name, Cameron.
Starting point is 00:32:25 And I believe this was also Clint's choice very strongly, which was a choice for your daughter's name. Yeah, she got named after Cameron Diaz after being obsessed with her after watching The Mask. And my son Ty got named after Ty Pennington, the host of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Little did Clint know that the name Cam actually has a meaning behind it.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Have a listen. Damn it, I never did that when I named my daughter Cameron. What does Cameron mean? Okay, I'm looking it up now. What does it mean? Oh, it's worse than you think, Dan. Whatever you think it is, it's not great. So Cameron, its original origin, sorry, is Scottish,
Starting point is 00:32:59 and the meaning, crooked nose. Oh, what a... So I laughed. And then she started... I just saw her eyes get all glassy. And then just... They just... The little tears start running down the cheeks. And I'm like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I reacted wrong in this moment. Yeah, I don't know. So not only did you name your daughter crooked nose, then you laughed at her. So, you know... On national radio as well. Yeah, but then I found... Hey, did you send that to her?
Starting point is 00:33:23 I found an article. No, you didn't. I found an article. Anyway, but then I found an article. No, you didn't. I found an article. Meg forwarded me an article that said all these beautiful things about the name Cameron. So I sent it to my wife and said, could you please read these to Cameron before she goes to school so that she can feel much better about her name and its meaning. And how did that go? Unsure.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I haven't had an update yet. Brilliant. My wife might have been busy making lunches and stuff. I don't know if she's read the list. Okay. And I am going to, unfortunately, Meg, give you a little jab to the ribs. It feels like it might be a dead rubber here after we had Cyril in, the Aussie DJ.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You'll know this song. When it was Big One Stumbling Up. Banger. Yeah. From time to time, there might be a bit of a misstep or a word that's said wrong on the show, and we generally don't let the person get away with it. I found this unbelievably ironic
Starting point is 00:34:09 because the word that Meg stumbled on happened to be stumble. Take a listen. Probably sounds quite lame, but with your remixes and your tracks that you've released, stumbling in was one of my absolute favourites. What about that all week? Stumbling in.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Stumbling in. What, like three more... Stumbling in. Three more... I don't even think I can do it. Stumbling in. Yeah. What happened when you went out drinking the other week
Starting point is 00:34:35 and you got home? What happened to your neck? Stumbling in. Yeah, yeah. It works for a lot of different scenarios. It's better, I guess, if there's not a big gap in between. Yes, yes. All right, well, we works for a lot of different scenarios. It's better, I guess, if there's not a big gap in between. Yes, yes. All right, well, we go crown a champion.
Starting point is 00:34:49 It's just one of those weeks where no one's getting their photo in the frame for Employee of the Week this week, it seems. Yeah, we all suck. Yeah. Equally as bad as one another. Yeah. Hey, coming up next, we do want to get in touch with somebody who may know anything about the situation where a car went flying in through two houses
Starting point is 00:35:09 and woke people up at 4am in the middle of the night, if you know anything about it. But also, cash-strapped, 8 o'clock, a quick reminder, Dan will be at Hagley Park near the netball courts. Apparently people are already there. Really? Yeah, they're already there waiting. Wow, I'm not surprised, really. 2K, couple of tickets to Electric Ave.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And so I think the latest little piece of information you might have missed is it's not the first to touch Dan or tackle Dan. He'll have a gold envelope attached to his chest. First one to rip it from his chest wins the cash and the tickets. What if I'm too fast and no one ever gets it? I think we'll be all right. Yeah, I don't think we've sort of built that into the plan. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:43 I think you're underestimating my running skills. Believably. Clint, of built that into the plan. I don't know. I think you're underestimating my running skills. Believably. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. It's so nice to meet everybody that's coming down to see us as well. So if you want to come down to your majestic cafe, we've had a few visitors this morning. Do you know the amount of times the Edge team have been talking, like everyone on their team have been like,
Starting point is 00:35:58 oh my God, I think we should move the Edge to Christchurch or we should want to live in Christchurch. Look at these beautiful places. Yeah, it's lovely here. Beautiful. And it was nice until we realised that someone had kicked over about a dozen bins on the way here all over the road.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Yeah. But Clint, I do that every week in West Auckland. That's a shame. Speaking of West Auckland, somebody drove into a house. So, you know, I mean, I didn't see a house with a car in the middle of it this morning driving into it, did I?
Starting point is 00:36:22 This was in your neighbourhood, Meg? It was indeed. It was. I actually freaked out because it's pretty close to work, did I? This was in your neighbourhood, Meg? It was indeed. It was. I actually freaked out because it's pretty close to me. And yeah, it was just an awful, awful situation. Actually, I don't know if there's been enough to have. Have they found the guy or the person? Yeah, because there was a bit of a manhunt for him at the moment
Starting point is 00:36:36 because he crashed through a property at quarter to four in the morning. This is how panicky Meg is. We were driving to the airport and she she did that thing where she goes, Oh, my wife does that. And I thought we were about to have an accident or something, but Meg was reading the news story and thought it was her house that the car had crashed into. Yeah, but actually ages away.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Yeah, it was miles away. Yeah. So my wife was like, what? Oh, I think I forgot to unload the dishwasher. I'm like, oh, my God, God. I thought someone had died, babe. It was in the suburb. It was a similar design to your house, though, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Yeah, but we wanted to try and track down the person because I imagine they were talking about how they woke up to headlights. Like, in their bed, they woke up, sat up, and these two headlights are blaring into their face. It's very... from inches away. I'm like, could you wake up to anything more frightening? Very, very, very lucky nobody was, I mean, physically hurt. It'll be a long time, I imagine, to get a good night's rest again.
Starting point is 00:37:35 That's an amazing, well, it's not amazing, but it's an incredible thing to have, to wake up in your room and there's a car literally inside your house. The worst thing that Dan has woken up to was a cockroach. There was no... Yeah, there was a cockroach on my face. You had a cockroach on your face? Yeah. Don't pause in between. It's one word, Clint. Come on, grow up. When we first got told the story, we
Starting point is 00:37:55 did that. Yeah. It's a shame. Every time I tell the story, he says cockroach wrong. So, yeah. I mean, it's a... You know, one time as well, my brother, we lived in a rural area it was the same house that i had the cockroach on my face he woke up with a possum in his room oh not on his face no not on his face that would be crazy yeah yeah they ended up uh deploying a helicopter for about 45 minutes to try and find them two ambulance uh ambulances attended the
Starting point is 00:38:21 scene yeah i think one went flying through the kitchen and living area and the other one went straight through the front wall. It was like crazy. Was it two cars? Two properties. Oh, my God. So the house, sorry, went through the front wall and into someone else's kitchen. How fast do you have to be going to go through two houses?
Starting point is 00:38:35 Yeah. Crazy. That's horrid. Yeah, so frightening stuff. But, yeah, we'd love to chat to you. If you were abruptly woken in the middle of the night to something, especially if you've ever had a car go flying into your house. I know there was a bus recently as well that crashed into a house.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I think that was in Auckland as well. Bloody Auckland drivers, tell me what. I mean, a bus going into your house is scary. Okay, what suddenly woke you up in the night? Was it a car flying through your house? Was it like Dan when he had a cockroach on his face? Oh, good man. I thought about doing it twice.
Starting point is 00:39:05 I think it was. Thank you, Meg. It shows growth. Yes. Sort of, in a way. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. First song out of eight. Dan's got a double pass and two grand that you could win. There's a mob forming at the Nebelcourt already. I don't want to dishearten anyone, but it does look like
Starting point is 00:39:21 there might be about 100 to 150 people chasing you. Oh my God, you're kidding me. No. Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy. This is going to be full. What did you expect? I've had nightmares, and this is serious. I've had nightmares before of a mob of people chasing me.
Starting point is 00:39:38 What does that mean? That's about to happen. Yeah. I think it says a lot about the secrets you're keeping and that they're chasing you and one day they'll come find you and catch you. Oh, Dan can't keep any secrets, darling.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Yeah, no. Let's be honest. Come on, man. I'm the worst secret keeper. You're so dreaming about that and Meg's dreaming about strawberry munchers. What are you dreaming about?
Starting point is 00:39:56 I've never had one. Everybody is going to be collating, I think, at the Neat Bull Courts at Hagley Park if you want to head down there as well if you're nearby. We will not tell you
Starting point is 00:40:04 where Dan will be coming out from or where he will be ended up. Hey, Dan, you're going to be just surprised. To be honest, I don't know myself what I'm going to do. I still think the best idea would have been Dan right up high in a tree. And so everyone's waiting. And he's just right at the tree. No one has any idea. And it's more like a hide and seek.
Starting point is 00:40:21 The problem is, Glenn, him jumping down would have taken about 10 minutes. So I think they would have caught him when they see him climbing down. Currently, we're talking about what went bump in the night. What woke you up after there was a car in Auckland that drove into the side of a house? Yeah, the people, the residents actually just, I think in an interview, said that they woke up out of bed to headlights shining in their face in their bedroom. I can't even fathom it. The only thing I've ever woken up to is a cockroach on my face
Starting point is 00:40:48 was one night when we lived in a rural area. Someone's saying they sympathise with me except they had a cockroach in their mouth. How does that happen? You must be open mouth sleeping. I did wake up once with earplugs in my mouth but I was having a dream I was eating grapes. So I think that's what happened.
Starting point is 00:41:02 You pulled them out and put them in your own mouth. Someone's text through saying, my sister woke up in the middle of the night with a little boy who lived down her street, standing in her living room. The only thing that would make that scarier if that little boy had passed away years ago and it was his ghost. Yeah, no, that would have been so terrifying.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Either way, I think a real live kid that I don't know standing in my house while I'm sleeping is pretty creepy, dead or alive. Hickor is texting saying, I woke up to my cousin and her boyfriend attempting to do it in the lounge. So that's something to wake up to see your cousin doing that. You know what's sad?
Starting point is 00:41:34 He said attempting. Yeah, attempting. Hey, sometimes, you know, it just doesn't work, does it? That can't have been good. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. There's so many people that have just woken up to things going bump in the night.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Someone said that there's a ghost in my house and it woke me up twice tapping on my closet. Oh, there's nothing worse. Oh, that's terrifying. Yeah. I'd rather have a ghost tapping on a closet than a car come flying through the wall. Yeah. Well, I didn't know it was a competition, Clint. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:02 He said there's nothing worse. Oh, yeah, true, true. And someone else just texted me now, I was woken up at 1am in the morning with a police officer standing over my face, shining a light in my face. I mean, I've not had that, but I have had the police knocking on my door at 1am
Starting point is 00:42:15 and that sent the heebie-jeebies up. But your husband doesn't sell that stuff anymore, does he? No, he does not. That was his final warning, though. Megan Guy's drug-dealing days. Those are over now, though. But the shoes are still hanging over the power lines outside their house. You can't get them down, can you?
Starting point is 00:42:32 It's very hard. Getting them up is quite easy. Speaking of which, Dan, you probably need to throw yours on, bro. Oh, yes. You need to throw yours on and get to the Nepal courts at Hagley Park because everyone is waiting for you, mate. Yeah, okay. No, I don't think they're waiting for me, Clint.
Starting point is 00:42:45 I think they're waiting for the money and the tickets that I've got around me. Do you have the gold envelope? Also, we're going to be live, eh? We're going to be live on... We're live now. Yeah, on Edge TikTok. So if you do want to see Dan...
Starting point is 00:42:57 Wait, so does that mean if you follow the live, you might be able to work out where he is in Hagley Park? Okay, so if you are on your way down, jump on TikTok and check out The Edge Live because Dan is going to be holding it the whole time
Starting point is 00:43:09 and I imagine you can probably decipher where he might be with the background. I'm confused as well. There's so many things going on. There's a TikTok Live.
Starting point is 00:43:17 We're doing a live radio show. I've also got a walkie-talkie in one of my ears. They've put something down my pants. There's so much going on. Daniel, you did that last one.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yeah. That's an HR issue. They just wanted to see how far they could push it. Oh my God, he really will let us do whatever we want. It keeps vibrating weirdly. Alright, you get out of there and next we'll see if we can give away $2,000 in a double pass to Electric Avenue with Cash Trap. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash Trapped. Trapped. Trapped. Trapped. All right, we've been giving away thousands of dollars
Starting point is 00:43:51 over the last couple of weeks with Cash Trapped, and we are doing a live dash for cash at Hagley Park in Christchurch, telling people to meet by the netball courts. Dan should be in position, but I feel he may have left his run a little late, Meg. Yeah, he is a little late. He's still a few minutes away. I can see from
Starting point is 00:44:07 FaceTime that we're doing in the background, about 150 to 200, maybe even over 200 people at the start line. They have to grab the golden envelope off him. Actually, Clint, can you just grab the phones? I believe that might be Caitlin, who is down there. Oh, yeah, cool. Oh, she just hung up. Yeah, we can get promo
Starting point is 00:44:23 manager Kate back on the phones and then we'll... There she is. Okay. Okay, we'll get her to describe the scenes. Hello, are you there, Kate? Hi, I'm here, Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Please, you were live down there. Please describe the scenes. How long have people been there? How are they hyped up? We had people here from probably about
Starting point is 00:44:41 quarter past seven. We've had a couple of girls drive from Nelson without even having Electric Avenue tickets. They've driven all the way down here. They're right in front of me. We have over 150 people lined up, and I'm genuinely scared for Dan's life. Katie, can we chat to the people from Nelson? Yep.
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yeah, yep. Surely they have tickets, and they're trying to get a couple more. Hello? Hello? What are you going to do if you don't win? We're going to try. Oh, bless you. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I mean, $2,000, that's a nice, easy split for Tuiu and a double pass. But I don't know your chances. How many people do you think you're going to be running against? It looks like a lot. Hundreds. Hundreds of people. Hundreds of people, okay. Yeah, I mean, we're rooting for you purely based on how committed you guys
Starting point is 00:45:31 are to the cause. Yeah. Well, good on you girls. You stay there and get warmed up. Daniel, are you there? Thank you. Daniel, come in. Daniel, are you alive? Oh, Daniel, why did we give the most important job to him? Daniel, come in. Daniel, are you alive? Oh, Daniel. Why did we give the most important job to him?
Starting point is 00:45:49 Daniel is gone. We will get him back. He must be seconds away, minutes away. Caitlin, do we have first aid on scene? Myself, yes. Caitlin, I know you did. state jog course about three years ago. Hey, and don't fall for Dan fainting just because if he wants mouth-to-mouth from hot cake.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah, yeah. We know he'll be dramatic anyway. Okay, so they're all lining up like it's a 100-metre sprint. You can check this out live on TikTok if you check out the Edge but it's not going to necessarily be a 100m sprint because they don't know where he's going to appear from in the park so some of them will be naturally
Starting point is 00:46:34 closer to him than the others as soon as he pops out from wherever he's hiding in, right? Yeah, so the line stretches a very long way, but he could pop out of anywhere, so someone might have better advantage than the rest of them.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Why don't we go to a tune, and then when we come back, because you've got the megaphone, we can go on your megaphone so we don't miss it. So Dan better not run out during the song from the Kooks. Don't hit the megaphone, and we'll try and get his mic working again. All right, we'll chat to you soon, Katie. Win a share of $50,000. Cash.
Starting point is 00:47:07 With the edge cash-strapped. Strapped. Strapped. Strapped. All right. We've been giving away hundreds and thousands of dollars of cash over the last couple of weeks. And Dan has a guaranteed $2,000 strapped to his chest
Starting point is 00:47:22 inside a gold envelope with a double pass to Electric Avenue. Now, Daniel has actually ventured out of the car. I can officially say that he is there. So, Dan, we are just waiting for your call. It must be intimidating. Can you see any of the runners? I can see every single one of them, Meg. There's a huge line.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I want to say at least between 150 and 200 people in a line looking straight at me. Oh, much more now. I genuinely think 200 to 300 now from what we can see. Are you supposed to be hiding? You're just in plain sight. Can they all see you? What are you doing? I'm in the cover of trees. So I think they're very, very
Starting point is 00:47:59 far away from me. I'd say 100 metres and the line of people is at least 150 metres. Okay, if you want to see this go down check out the edge on TikTok. We are live at the moment. Yeah, it's live from Dan's helmet. Yeah. So you'll be able to see his point of view. Daniel,
Starting point is 00:48:16 when you are ready, let's get into it straight away. A lot of people have been waiting for this. Oh, I don't think Dan will last more than 30 seconds. Okay. They can hear me. I'm about to go. I'm going to count myself down, and I'm going to run out of the cover of the trees. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:29 In three, two, one. Oh, my God. Here I go. Here I go. And I've started running. I'm running. Okay, I'm running across. It's like I'm reconnecting in a V shape.
Starting point is 00:48:43 There's people behind me. Every move I make, 150 people do the same move. It could be anyone. How good is the sidestep? They're gaining on him. 10 seconds. He's got less than 10 seconds. I don't know what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:48:55 There's a man in the back. He's going towards me. Oh, my God. I'm so glad this isn't me. They're going to take him down. They will take him down to the ground. Okay. Someone's ripped off the golden envelope.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Can you still hear me, guys? Can you still hear me? Yeah, it's done. What was that, Clem? Was that about 20 seconds? Yeah, I told you it wouldn't last more than 30. I'm coming. Oh, my God, there's a man here now.
Starting point is 00:49:17 What's your name? Hello. Kyle. You got the golden envelope. That was quick. Can you hear me, everybody? Because I was literally just in the middle of it. We can hear you, Dan.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Tell us, put us on to Ryan. Put us on to Ryan. Or Kyle. What's your name, Kyle? We don't want to talk to Ryan. Kyle, I'm going to give you a headphone. Put this in your ear. What was your tactics there, my friend?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Just go, go, go. Yeah. I mean, you might be able to hear Meg and Clint who are back in the studio back in the cafe. That was the most terrifying moment. Was there any evading
Starting point is 00:49:50 or sidestepping from Dan or did you just kind of run in a straight line towards him and rip it off his chest? Oh, that was a straight line. There was a wee bit of evading.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Yeah. Kyle, Kyle, are you, do you already have tickets to Electric Ave? Is this now changed to a whole weekend? What are you going to do with 2K?
Starting point is 00:50:07 This is definitely changed to a weekend. Just touching my breath. So am I, so am I. That was terrifying. I'm now being surrounded by hundreds of people. Good morning, Christchurch! I never thought that there'd be this many people out there. I'm sorry we only had one golden
Starting point is 00:50:27 envelope, but this has been incredible. One of the most nerve-wracking moments of my life, coming out of that bush and seeing all you guys there. Wow. So Kyle, $2,000 in a double parcel electric avenue. Do you feel bad for the girls from Nelson who drove all the way to Christchurch this morning to
Starting point is 00:50:43 win those tickets that are in your hands. No, not really. Every man for himself, mate. Hey, so did you have tickets, bro, before this weekend? That's you now. Yeah, that's me now. My daughter wants the tickets, bro. Oh, you got them for your daughter?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Did you get them for her? What a guy. Oh, yeah, but what a cool dad. Dad goals. Oh, my God, dad goals, huge. And then 2K, what's that going to go towards, or are you going to figure that out later? My celebrity tickets.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Yeah, okay, the wife spent the money, the daughter's getting the tickets. What are you getting, Kyle? I get peace and quiet, I think. Hey, well, congratulations, bro. Really appreciate you making the effort to come down, and it paid off. Oh, what an epic dad, man.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Thank you. And thank you, everybody, that it paid off. Oh, what an epic dad, man. And thank you, everybody that's here. Let's hear it for Christchurch. Clint, Meg, and Dan on the edge. If you do see us cruising around and you are there, come say hi. We will be the ones wearing the really inappropriately slogans T-shirts after Meg thought it would be fun to create T-shirts for each other, except the only caveat was that obviously the person wearing the shirt had no idea what it said until right now.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah, I think we can all blame Meg for this. And I think even Meg's going to be punished because she hasn't thought that she had to also wear a T-shirt. Right, I have everyone's T-shirts. I have not seen what mine is. I have figured it out from our sizing, so I know everyone's got the right t-shirt in front of them. Who wants to go first? Does Clint go last?
Starting point is 00:52:08 Does Dan go last? I think they're all just as bad as one another. I'm going to open mine. Okay. I'm going to open mine. You can do this sort of thing as well if you're listening with your friends, maybe the next festival you end up going to, just all order t-shirts behind each other's back, give it to them on the day, it's a fun game.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Alright, I'm going to open mine. I'm going to open mine now. I think Bella, our wee girl, is just going to film our reaction. Okay. Here she goes. Good luck, Meg. My t-shirt that the boys got made for me to wear all day
Starting point is 00:52:38 while I am heavily pregnant and meeting up with my brother. Oh, yeah, by the way, speaking of pregnancy, you're welcome, Meg. I didn't go with, why does everyone keep congratulating me? I'm not pregnant.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Brilliant. I told him not to do that one. Here we go. Okay, read it out as you see it. Here we go. Opening it up, it says, ask about my vagina tattoos. And then there's an arrow pointing down. Down, yeah. So that's a bit of fun.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Because it's factual. I mean, for anyone who doesn't know, Meg does have many vagina tattoos. He knows about them though, doesn't he? So it's not only a shirt that's factual, it's a shirt that'll also prompt conversations, you know, with punters. Well, I can honestly say at least one of yours isn't factual.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Okay. I really hope so, because I've heard a little bit about mine and how offended I'm going to be. Okay. Let's do Dan's next. Oh my God. Okay, so I'm going because I've heard a little bit about mine and how offended I'm going to be. Okay, let's do Dan's next. Oh my God, okay. So I'm going to put this on now. Ask about my vagina tattoos.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Wearing that in public. By the way, for anyone who doesn't know about Meg's vagina tattoos, do you want to tell people what they... No, I don't. They can ask me. Risk, learn, listen, inspire, and forget me not. There's a lot of words there.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Here is Daniel's. This is the T-shirt that Meg and Clint have designed for me. It says, for goodness sake, you guys, how can you make me wear this in public? I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look. I'm a married man. This ride is completely and utterly closed. And I have to wear that in public at Electric Avenue. There's no way mine can be worse than that.
Starting point is 00:54:08 For how long? I don't know. We're in a cafe, Daniel. I don't care if we're in a cafe. People are having their breakfast. I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look. That's illegal. That's illegal. I don't think I can take a look legally.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Well, you shouldn't. Well, hopefully people know you're joking. It's an awful T-shirt. All right, Clint, your can take a look legally. You shouldn't. Well, hopefully people know you're joking. Okay. Okay, hold it. It's an awful T-shirt. All right, Clint, your T-shirt. Sorry. Sorry about that. It is last.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Here we go. It's Clint's. Okay, here we go. Now, Clint, I think, please don't be offended. Please don't be offended. Here he goes. Mine is so much worse. I'll swap you the guy that got it.
Starting point is 00:54:43 No, thank you. No, thank you. Okay, it's a guy. It's a stick man, like, bending over on his hands and knees. It looks like he's, like, in a vomiting position. And then above it, it says, begging for a pegging. Oh, yeah, I do think we've taken that one too far. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:55:03 No wonder we are going to have to blur this in social video. I don't think the stick man bending over was necessary. That was our creative genius from our market. Yeah, I don't think we, that wasn't Megan Eye's idea, that part of it. I don't think, and you've actually got the right size t-shirt for me, so this one, it might not even fit. That's a two-week belly will fit, yeah. Oh, will fit, good.
Starting point is 00:55:22 No, that'll fit perfectly actually. And Dan's one's going to be extra tight too. You've got a size smaller. You're pissing. You're shocking. No way. Is it actually? I can't even speak.
Starting point is 00:55:32 You're pissing. You're shocking. Dan, don't get into it. I think you're one you might get into. No, it's not an extra small. No, it's not an extra small thing. But it is a size pretty small. But it is going to be tight.
Starting point is 00:55:42 It's going to be tight on you. It's going to be tight on you. I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take it. Oh, mate, I will swap you right now. Yeah, exactly. Because mine's worse. I'm not begging for anything. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:55:54 Especially that.
