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.
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.
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.
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...
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?
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
Okay.
Are any of us close, Jay?
Or are we miles off?
Well,
Clint,
you're the one
that's nearly
banging the nail
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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?
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Especially that.
