This is a podcast from Rover.
The Edge Breakfast 2025.
New year, new hit.
And bouncing off the Sky Tower, new transmitter.
Oh, well, it's a bit of a shitter.
Give it a kick, Daryl.
It's alive!
Live!
This is The Edge Breakfast with Clint Magendale.
Good morning.
It is one to six on your Monday.
You guys just missed Clint Hoyt.
What did he?
That's why I did it off here.
I know. I mean, it was What did he? That's why I did it off here. I know.
What was...
I mean, it was...
It was on my side.
That's interesting.
If you can think about the studio,
if we're trying to imagine where we are,
we've got Clint in the middle
and then Dan and I either side.
Equidistant from him.
Equidistant.
And Clint decided to hoik on my side,
which was nice.
I think that's endearing.
I think he decided to hoik at the person he liked the most.
I also think that I am most accepting of Clint's bodily functions
compared to you.
Yes, I can't stand the man.
I can't stand the man normally, and if he hoiked at me,
Jesus, I think that might just send me over the edge.
Double standards, though, with this guy, eh, Meg?
I know.
There's like two videos on our Instagram at the moment
of Dan going around doing farts on people
at Electro Gaff.
Not real ones though.
Oh, not real ones
but he thinks it's hilarious.
They think they are.
But when I do a fart
near Dan,
I think it's hilarious
but he does not.
The problem is
your ones aren't coming
from a Yui boom.
They're coming from your bum.
It's the bandits.
Yui bum.
What happened
over the weekend team?
A little coffee catch up
before we officially
kick off the show?
Meg came in this morning, Clint, and she said,
I just had the best weekend.
No, my words were perfect weekend.
Perfect weekend.
I had a perfect weekend.
So I'd love to know what in Meg's eyes is a perfect weekend.
I'd imagine it's full of action.
Okay, well, there is some action.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, look, it's so wholesome.
I guess this is good wholesome music.
It was just,
Saturday morning, woke up quite early.
That's always good to wake up, isn't it?
That makes you have it entirely in your sleep.
And now I'm here.
And now I'm here.
Thank you, Jesus, for...
I'll be granted another day.
No, we're for a lovely walk with my family.
Oh, this is going to sound so lame.
God, at the moment I'm like...
Okay, well, I'm not trying to...
She's in her 80s.
Woke up at 5.30 for a forced walk.
I got a free sandwich.
Yep, still 80s.
He's got a little free sandwich.
So, so far she's happy she's still alive because she woke up.
She went for a walk.
She's had a sandwich.
Cleared the pine cones.
Cleared the pine cones.
Woolworths, they had free sandwiches, so I got one. Yeah. And they had jelly as's had a sandwich. Cleared the pine cones. Cleared the pine cones. Woolworths,
they had free sandwiches
so I got one.
They had jelly as well.
I got one,
a piece of jelly.
Easy for your teeth
or you can actually
take your teeth out.
Went to the pools.
Went for a swim.
Okay.
Still sounding old.
Then went to a friend's barbecue.
Yeah,
because old people
do those aqua aerobics.
They do.
They do.
Oh,
now the barbecue's
brought her down
to her 50s.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Okay,
so she's still,
you know. I'm still hanging out with people. We're still the barbecue's brought her down to her 50s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so she's still, you know.
I'm still like hanging out with people. We're still social.
Unless she spent most of her time on like a camping chair.
True.
And everyone else came and said hi to her.
That's, old people do that.
You should see what you mean there.
Everyone comes to me, I don't go to everyone else.
Yeah, like Nana and Papa always just sit there on the chair
and you go and have a sit next to them and then you move on.
If they want to talk to me, they can come to me.
I had a tonic.
I had a glass of tonic. Oh, my Nana was like, yeah, she and have a sit next to them and then you move on. If they want to talk to me, they can come to me. I had a tonic. I had a glass of tonic.
Oh, my net.
That was a huge tonic.
Then I went off for a cup of tea and a piece of cake with my husband.
Back to 80.
Jesus Christ.
And then on Sunday, I went to a Thomas the Tank Kitchen steam train.
Oh, again.
That could go either way.
No, it was majority older people with younger kids.
It was like grandparents taking them.
Yeah.
That could be a fun game.
We're like, old people text in their weekend
and then Meg has to put her somewhere in the middle
and we guess which one was Meg's.
Oh, God.
That is Meg's eyes, the perfect weekend.
The perfect weekend.
What a loser.
Thanks, guys.
It's always good to be brought Right back down to zero
As soon as they come in on Monday
Hey look
We're not here to yuck you
Yum
No
Well you just did
Very clearly
Yes
Yeah
Exactly right
And Clint was on a jet ski
All weekend
I saw that
So there's the different
Sort of things
And you did stand up
Stand up comedy
Yeah
Yeah we need to talk about
Less about the jet ski
And more about the stand up
After it
It's just so
So scary
Like anybody Then why do you do it? That's the thing they say Do something that scares you Every like the dead skin, more about the stand-up after. I think it's just so, so scary.
Then why do you do it?
That's the thing they say,
do something that scares you every, like, now and then.
Yeah.
But, like, full anxiety
about it on Saturday.
I saw a photo of Dan on stage
with, like, the spotlight
and I got anxious looking at him.
Me too.
Me too.
Oh, God.
We'll talk about it later,
but man, oh, man,
I don't suggest doing it.
All right, time to get to know someone a little more intimately that listens to the show Me too. Me too. Oh, God. We'll talk about it later, but man, oh, man, I don't suggest doing it.
All right.
Time to get to know someone a little more intimately that listens to the show nice and early.
All right.
We're getting to know Scott this morning, boys.
He's 20 years old, drives a Toyota Hilux, works as a chippy.
He's single and, in his words, on the hunt.
Good on him.
Gemini, and his favourite position,
which I need to ask a little more about, is being taken.
Morning, Scott.
Good morning, guys.
Before we get into Meg's question about you being taken,
I'm guessing you weren't at the big gathering of all the Toyota Hiluxes over the weekend
in Kingston, in the South Island. Nah, man, I wasn't. Nah, nah, live on the other side of all the Toyota Hiluxes over the weekend in Kingston in the South Island.
Nah, man, I wasn't.
Nah, nah, live on the other side of the...
Yeah.
1,400 Toyota Hiluxes in one place.
A world record.
The last time that happened was in South Africa.
Oh, it sounds like a weird dream.
Yeah.
Radio.
Who's that kind of guy?
Yeah, yeah.
Do you ever thought of wanting to trade in your Hilux
and get yourself a Ranger?
Ever?
Oh, mate, don't go there, eh?
Oh, yeah.
I don't even know what that means.
Does that mean bad or good?
Ford Ranger, yeah.
I think there's a bit of an angst
between the old Hilux drivers and the Rangers.
It's the new Ford and Holden.
Really?
I see.
All right, Mick's got a question for you.
We're going to assume your answer, Scott,
and you have to let us know at the end
who is closest to what your answer would actually be.
Okay, well, since we know what Scott wasn't doing,
and since you guys took the piss out of my 80-year-old weekend,
what do you think 20-year-old Scott's single
was up to over the weekend for you?
Yeah, I reckon Scott is a bit of a man's man.
I reckon he was doing a bit of shooting.
Shooting, okay.
Yeah, I think he shot a bit of game on the weekend.
No, I think he would have gone down to a local brewery,
probably smashed a whole lot of pints.
Getting closer.
And did no online shopping.
Okay, I'm going to say that he didn't go to a brewery.
It was like a mate's yard or his yard,
and people just brought around a case of beers or something,
and they just like...
Casual.
What were they celebrating?
The end of summer.
Boys don't do that, do they?
Boys don't do that.
Boys don't know what season it is.
I don't think there was a reason to celebrate.
It was just like, you guys got anything to do?
And they're like, nah, and they're like, come around.
Come over for the end of summer.
Scott, who was closest?
I've got to say the brewery was the closest.
We had a bit of a leave and do for one of the old firemen at the fire service.
Of course you did.
Yeah, yeah.
Did you end up shooting a gun at some point?
No, I did not end up having a gun at any point.
So are you a fireman, Scott?
Yes, I'm a volunteer.
What a guy.
Oh, wow. Yeah, lovely. Jeez, and you're volunteer. What a guy. Oh, wow.
Yeah, lovely.
Jeez, and you're struggling.
I do that in spare time, which I don't get much of.
And you're single at the moment.
Surely a single chippy who runs off to save people from burning buildings is quite a sought after.
Yeah.
Dude.
Oh, I thought so too, mate.
That's why I do it.
I do have one more question.
Does a chippy mean you work at the fish and chip shop?
No. No. No. Means he's a builder. No, that's incorrect. A builder. A builder, mate. That's why I do it. I do have one more question. Does a chippy mean you work at the fish and chip shop? No. No.
No. No. No. No. No. That's incorrect. A builder. A builder, yeah.
I've never heard of that saying before.
Yeah, a chippy is what they sell at the fish and chip shop.
Yeah. A little bit of a difference. I just thought you said
you work at the chippy. Yeah. And I was like,
okay. Why do they call it a
chippy? Yeah. Scott?
Oh, mate, there's wood chips all over
the show, you know, dust in the hair.
Yeah, I figured it'd be something to do with woodchips.
I guess if, I mean, but it's not like you're going around like planing the timber all day.
Yeah, you sound like a good bloke.
And you sound older than 20, by the way.
It says you're 20 here.
You sound like you could be in your 30s.
Oh, almost 21.
It's this early morning, man.
Yeah.
I suppose if you've got drop saws and stuff
and you're chopping timber
and framing up
houses and stuff
there'd be wood chips
bloody me
oh gorgeous
Clint, Meg and Dan
on the edge
Scandal with Meg
Scandal thanks to New World
New World's wonderful Wednesdays
find your wonderful
Elon Musk has
had his 14th child
and the boys also wanted to know
by the way
his child support payments. Something that
you'd sit there and go, this is the richest man in the world,
second richest man in the world. A billion
dollars is if you were to earn a dollar
for every second for 32 years,
a million is 11 days. If that
puts it into perspective, he's a multi-billionaire.
Yeah, you'd think that he doesn't
necessarily live or take care of the kids, but he'd send
a hefty payment to the mums, right?
To pay for the kids. You would think if anything was going to
bankrupt them, it might be his child support payments
if he keeps having more children.
Elon Musk's child support payments
are influenced by the legal framework of the states
where his custody agreements are established.
In Texas, where Musk has resided
and where some of his custody agreements
have been processed, child support
payments legally are capped at
$2,760 a month for
three children.
The cap applies irrespective of
the parent's income, meaning that
even high net worth individuals
like Musk are subject to this
limit. So, but does that mean that
that's the legislation
but he could be paying more? He could
be, but Grimes, one of his
exes who is the mother of three of his children, is unhappy
and she has admitted that that is the amount.
It's a bit crap as well because if he's giving the mum,
let's say, a minimal amount,
he's also giving his children a minimal amount.
So when they come to Dad's house,
oh, they go down the hydro slides and get to play on the tennis court
and then they go back to mum's and it's like, oh.
You know what I mean?
It's like,
surely it's your kids
you're doing out of a
service as well.
So, you know how you want
to sleep with Elon Musk,
Clint,
and live off the money?
I thought I could.
I want you to do it
in California.
I want you to do it
in California
because their child support
payments are calculated
by the parents' income.
So he's not knocking
anyone up in California.
When he goes to California, he's got it locked up tight.
What if you get knocked up in Texas,
but then you move the kids to California?
Maybe Grimes needs to move them.
Yeah, no, no.
It's where they get knocked up, I believe.
So you have to have sex with Elon in California,
get pregnant there,
and also it depends on how much time
the parent spends with the children. So if he's never
seen this kid, he has to pay more.
And also how would you be able to
prove where you got
knocked up? True. That's true. He'd find a way.
He's again the richest man in the world. Quick quiz
for you boys. 14 kids.
I've got some fake names
and some real names. You have to guess which one is real.
Great. Here we go.
Griffin Musk. Griffin Musk I reckon is a real name. Really? to guess which one is real. Great, great game. Here we go. Griffin Musk.
Griffin Musk, I reckon, is a real name.
Really?
Because I didn't.
Okay, do you want real Griffin?
I think real's Griffin.
Griffin is real.
Zenon. I thought maybe you'd gone some Harry Potter,
like Gryffindor or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Griffin.
Zenon.
Zenon Musk, real or fake?
I feel like that is also real.
There's definitely an X one.
Okay, Zenon. No, that's not a real kid. Okay, so I'll like that is also real. There's definitely an X one. Okay, Xenon.
No, that's not a real kid.
Okay, so I'll go with you, Clint. That's not a real
kid. Correct. It is fake. I made that one up.
Okay, Techno.
Techno. No. That is a
real name. No. That is one of his children
is called Technomechanicus.
Technomechanicus. Yeah,
that's real. That's actually kind of a cool name.
Do you think so? Yeah. Vivian Gina. Oh, too normal that's real. That's actually kind of a cool name. Do you think so?
Vivian Gina.
Vivian Gina.
Too normal.
That's fake.
Incorrect.
That's one.
That one's real. Oh, Santa Vivian.
Okay, Damien.
Damien is not real.
Yes, it is.
Really?
So why is he named one of them Zenon and one of them Damien?
He's on the mumps.
R.S.C. Musk.
That's one.
Nah, it does have a lot of letters,
but I don't think those are the right ones.
I thought it was an X at the start, so yeah, maybe.
That one is also real.
There's also X-A-E-A-X-I-I Musk.
Yeah, that's right.
So there's two of the ones that are just letters.
When Damien's hanging out with X-I-Z-X,
Damien must feel like such a loser.
You know when you're having a baby,
and you can download that Tinder app with your partner
where you swipe good names and bad names.
I don't think that name's on that app.
Okay, Saxon.
Saxon's real.
Yes, correct.
You've heard of Saxon.
Arcadia?
True.
Yes, true.
Nova.
Nova, real.
Incorrect.
That is fake.
I made that one up.
I suck at this.
The real names are Xenon, Vivian, Extra Dark, Technomechanical.
Extra Dark.
That's like a type of Winnicott's chocolate.
Extra Dark.
I said it wrong.
It's Extra Dark.
Oh, yay.
Extra Dark.
Oh, my.
Oh, Meg.
Extra.
I just read it wrong.
Extra Dark.
Okie dokie.
Extra Dark.
We're going to name you Extra Dark.
Kai. Well, yeah. What's the.... Extra dark. We're going to name you Extra Dark. Kai.
Well, yeah, what's the...
No.
No.
No, don't go there.
Okay.
That was my bad.
Sorry about that, team.
Bit of fun this morning.
Wow.
There we go.
I mean, when you've got 14, how do you tell them all apart?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
New Zealand has named its most beautiful...
Well, it's actually not beautiful. It's just New Zealand's best its most beautiful, well, it's actually not beautiful,
it's just New Zealand's best suburb.
Yeah.
If you want to let us know why your one would not feature,
you can fire us a text on 3343.
Yeah, what was taken into account, Meg,
was a whole load of different criteria
to make it the best suburb,
including house prices, views, beaches, way of life.
What about neighbours?
Didn't take that into account. Well, I think neighbours and just the type of people, beaches, way of life. What about neighbours? Didn't take that into account.
Well, I think neighbours and just the type of people,
the happiness of people there.
Lack of bonfires in the backyard.
Yes, that's why Rānaui and West Auckland wasn't listed.
No, yeah.
But I'll tell you this, that Papamoa in Tauranga
Oh, wow, yeah.
is one of the best suburbs in New Zealand,
like the whole of New Zealand.
Yeah, my brother-in-law and his wife and family, his girls,
they moved to Papamoa.
And they love it.
Yeah, and every time we go down, it's beautiful.
Yeah, my husband raised in the Tauranga Mount Papamoa area of such.
And the good thing is as well is Mount Maunganui,
which is right next door to Papamoa,
that won like best beach for many, many years.
So it's like two of the
most sought-after areas in New Zealand next
to each other. Why wouldn't you move there?
Amazing. What the hell are you waiting for?
Although that's, you know,
the tourism
slogan in Aussie. Where the bloody
hell are ya? Where the bloody hell are ya? Like, hurry
up, come on. They did one for New Zealand
and it kinda sucks.
Oh, what the hell was it? Let me find it.
It was... Yeah, what was it?
It was just a... It was like...
They're in tourism slogan.
Come here if you want. No, no.
Everyone must go.
Oh, that's right. So it sounds like
everyone must go and check it out, but it also sounds like
everyone must go, like, get out.
It feels a little bit like... Everyone must go, like, see you
later. Everyone must go. Oh, it's like what Big Save Lily says when they've got a sail on the beds. She goes, everything must go, like, get out. It feels a little bit like we're being... Everyone must go, like, see you later. Everyone must go.
Oh, it's like what Big Save Lily says
when they've got a sale on the beds.
She goes, everything must go.
Yeah, like, everyone, like, get out.
Quite aggressive.
We actually talked to Scott this morning
for Get To Know You.
Scott is from Papamoa,
so I thought I'd check in and see,
do you agree, Scott?
Best suburb?
Oh, look, I was driving,
so I couldn't text him,
but absolutely.
Yeah.
It is 100%.
It's an amazing spot, eh?
Okay.
As a resident of Papamoa, though,
do you want people to know that it's the best suburb?
It'd piss me off if this was in the news
because I'd kind of be like,
shit, now everybody's going to move here.
I think so.
You know, every bloody riffraff.
Weedle the riffraff.
You know?
Oh, look, the pretty ladies,
they can feel free to come down.
Come say hello. I'll show you around.
Oh my God, okay.
Back, back.
Focus at work, Scott.
All the men are chivalrous.
Off you go.
What was that saying again?
Everyone must go.
Everyone must go.
Yeah, and also Joel, lead singer,
and probably the rest of the band members,
I imagine they'd have to live close to rehearse,
of L.A.BB all in Papamoa
just jamming out
of the beach
and cruising around
on his Harley and stuff
yeah way of life
up there
yeah so there you go
moved to Papamoa
and I think house prices
are some of the highest
like curve of rising
house prices there as well
so if you buy a house there
you're
oh get in early
home and hosed
I see in the
in the sheet this morning
something has made a comeback somehow.
Oh yeah, there's a study, Meg.
There's a study revealing,
I don't know who asked,
the most popular underwear colour
worn by New Zealanders.
Yeah, it's a really, really old article,
to be honest.
No, it came out earlier this year.
So I thought it was a good idea
and a good reason to bring back our little game,
Guess the Col of our underwear.
Yeah.
Do you want to win
a pair of undies, Meg?
I don't think I ever got your ones,
did I?
Well, there you go.
Now's your chance.
Yeah, the list of the most
popular underwear colours
has been released.
Right.
It's the Blacks number one.
It's a 2025 study, yeah.
For men and women,
interestingly,
black is the most
common underwear colour.
I'm not surprised at all with that one. Anybody guess what's the second? White. Yeah, you're correct, interestingly. Black is the most common underwear colour. I'm not surprised at all with that one.
Anybody guess what's the second?
White.
Yeah, you'll correct me.
Then it goes red is third.
So a bit of a saucy colour is the third most popular underwear colour.
Okay.
What's the least popular?
Is it just a normal colour?
Well, I'll tell you, 12% of people chose this colour
and it's the least of the main colours.
It has to be brown.
Who has brown?
Oh, maybe not because it's like a nude colour.
No, I might be wrong on that one.
Orange?
Orange.
Orange and brown did not make the list.
Oh.
I have a great orange bra.
Green, 12% was the least favoured colour among women
for underwear colours.
Yeah, so the top 10 were black, white, red, multiple colours in prints.
Yeah.
Blue, pink, nude, grey, purple, green.
Yeah.
So I thought this was a great excuse, Clint, to bring back our famous...
I can't believe that.
Very famous segment.
Yeah.
Guess, you know the song Charlie XX and Billie Eilish?
Yeah, when this was very big
and we played it
along the radio,
the boys decided to make
how many parody songs?
Oh, about nine.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's quite a lot of them.
I will say, that song,
one of the worst songs
ever written.
What a piece of shit.
It was easy to parody, though.
I hate Clint either.
Disgusting.
I hate it.
Yeah.
Oh my God, that was very easy to bury.
Meg, can you guess the colour of our underwear?
Barnes, Rio, Calvin, Kleins, you probably don't care.
Are they polka dot pink, grey, silky or blue?
If you can guess them right, we'll give our knickers to you.
Okay, that is the game.
We're going to do it next.
So you have a pond of Meg.
If we are wearing a print, I think Meg has to guess the...
The primary colour.
Primary colour.
Yeah, the main colour.
Yeah.
Simple game, really.
Yeah.
Okay, and if you guess right...
Do I have to guess the brand as well or just the colour?
No.
Great.
All right, you can have a guess of a brand as well for an extra point if you want.
I'm happy with that.
Last time you made me guess the brand and it lost me so much.
The boy's going to play as well.
We'll do it next.
It's a consensual game, so you have to be willing to play, volunteer to play.
But if me guesses, she gets to keep it.
Okay.
Are you in?
Producing heaps.
Are the rules still the same where if your colour gets guessed,
then you have to Winnie Pooh the next break?
Yeah, yeah.
Clint did do that, I think, once.
And that's, I think, when the game ended. Yeah, Clint did do that I think once. And that's I think when the game ended.
Yeah, it was a bit of a weird one actually.
Study has been
done, God knows by who and
why, but the most popular
colour of underwear that
people are rocking today, and there was a song
you may remember with Billie Eilish
and Charli XC called Guess.
Hey Billie, you there?
Yeah. And they go on to guess the colour of each other's underwear. I ain't really either. Yeah.
And they go on to guess the colour of each other's underwear.
I have to guess the colour of your underwear.
And this may be an unpopular opinion.
That song sucks.
Charlie XX, very, very talented.
But for some reason, those lyrics in that song,
just one of the worst songs of last year.
Oh, very.
Very easy to parody, which is exactly what we did.
We thought it'd be a fun opportunity for you who haven't heard this game to bring it back.
Hey Clint, are you there?
Yeah.
Meg, can you guess the colour of our underwear?
Barnes, Rio, Calvin, Clines, you probably don't care.
Are they small or
large or won by somebody famous?
If you can guess them right
then you might say I ain't that
bum. Sorry. Okay.
Okay, so I get the privilege
of guessing all the boys
underwear colours. Lucky me, gay.
Now, Dan and Clint, I do know
a little bit about your underwear wardrobe
from knowing you for so long.
And I just feel like seeing far too much of both of you.
But I don't know what you think about Producer Neeps and Producer Carl.
Oh, there they are.
We're all doing the same.
Hands on hips and rocking side to side to the music.
Okay, let's start off with this.
Let's do Producer's first.
Producer Carl, I'm going to go with you're wearing a little white.
Oh, here he goes. He's undoing the belt, the black jeans are being untied. He's black. Okay, going over to producer Nees.
All right, I'm up. Yeah, reset the song, perfect. Yeah, come on.
Oh my God. Meg, can you guess the colour of our underwear?
Barnes, Rio, Calvin, Kleins, you probably don't care.
Do our boxes brief so undies match the colour of our socks?
You can guess them right and you might see our...
Daniel!
OK, sorry about that.
Producer Libia, I have never seen your undies,
but I'm going to guess you're like a patterned guy,
like a yellow and blue pattern.
I've got a pattern, but producers are both grey today.
What is the likelihood that everyone's grey?
Hey, Clint, are you there?
Oh, no!
Oh, God, you're making too much.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
The difference Meg, can you guess the colour of our underwear?
Barnes, Rio, Calvin, Kleins, you probably don't care
Are they tight, loose, lacy, purple or army green?
If you can guess them right, then you might see our pain
Okay, Meg
Okay
Daniel
Dan and I, what are we rocking? Come on
Navy blue, Clint white.
Okay.
Try to answer.
Who's going first at the same time?
Here we go.
Clint in pink.
Peachy pink.
Dan's in white.
Damn it.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
That's a real fail for you today, Meg.
Bugger.
No undies for me.
What a shame.
Damn.
All right, lads.
Keep on today. Thank goodness. We don shame. Damn. All right, lads, keep on today.
Thank goodness.
We don't want another complaint, hey, Clint?
Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge.
Being cash-strapped takes on a whole new meaning.
Cash.
The Edge cash-strapped.
Strapped.
All right, everyone's cash-strapped, including us at The Edge.
Maybe just not in the way you think.
We're going to give away $50,000,
and we'll just keep playing 7am and 8am every single morning
until their cash is all gone.
And hopefully in your hands,
Meg is going to offer you a cash amount, and that is yours.
Yeah.
In your banking account.
Take it.
Run.
Go.
Chantel, morning.
Good morning.
Morning, Chantel.
Morning, Chantel.
Chantel, what do you want money for?
I'd really love the day off work because my boss has been mean.
Oh, okay.
Oh, a bit of a prick of a boss, eh?
Yes.
I could even have the week off if you'd be nice enough.
Okay.
So what's a day off going to cost you?
Oh, $120.
Not too much.
Okay, $120 for the day off.
Meg might be able to give you a couple of days off.
Who knows?
Depends how generous the bosses have been.
Come on, Meg.
Will you...
Come on, Meg.
But if you get given money,
will you literally just be able to hang up the phone
and say to your boss,
I'm taking the next few days off?
I don't think that's how it works.
Shove it up your arse, yeah.
Yeah, I can.
I can be set.
I have the shit. Okay. Come on, Meg. All right, I'll offer you how it works. Shove it up your arse. Yeah. Yeah, I can. I can be sick. I have the shit.
Okay.
Come on, me.
All right.
I'll offer you $240.
You can have two days off and just do a three-day week.
Generous.
That is generous.
Thank you.
Oh, $240.
That sounds good.
Yeah.
I mean, then I'll be able to stay home and listen to The Edge all day instead of The Sound.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, there's one of those bosses.
Doesn't he listen to The Edge all day?
Yeah.
No. You have to listen to The Sound. Oh, God. How, he's one of those bosses. Doesn't he listen to the edge? Oh, he has a deep back. No, he has to listen to the sound.
Oh, God.
How heavy does your vest feel?
I'll tell you this, Chantel.
It feels normal.
So I don't know.
It always feels the same.
Let me put it that way.
Oh, it always feels the same.
Yeah.
Depending on the amount, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't change.
But what I do feel, though, is today may be a day where
they'd be offering a little bit more because it's a
Monday. Start the week off like it means to end.
Or they could start the week off
badly, Chantal. I don't know what's
in the vest. Oh. We know,
Chantal, that you're guaranteed $240
if you take Meg's cash and run. Or
you give it back to her and you roll
the dice with cash strapped to Dan.
Meg's offer was more than you wanted.
Oh, um, hard decision, guys.
I think I'm going to take it.
Yeah, take it.
$240.
Yeah, I'm going to take it.
You sure?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well done.
I hope I'm doing the right thing.
I mean, you are because you've just taken 240 bucks no matter what.
Yeah, two days off.
Yeah, exactly, two days off.
Okay, let's see what you would have got if you'd gone with the vest.
I'm pulling out.
All right, let's go.
And hopefully it's in your favour and it's not
because if you'd picked the vest, $1,300.
Oh!
Oh!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. No! Oh, my God,300. Oh! Oh! I'm so sorry.
Oh, yeah.
No!
Oh, my God, Megan.
I just dove under the desk in embarrassment.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
What are the chances?
Why?
Oh, you could totally just give it anyway
because I did go to Hadley Park
and try and get the money from there.
Yeah.
No, it was...
Deal's a deal.
You took the cash. $240
all yours, Chantel.
The $1,300, I guess,
is done. Who knows
if it'll be back at 8 o'clock.
Sorry, Chantel. Yeah, I know, that's the thing.
You sit there and go, surely the next one would be
a low offer, but that never went.
Would that have been the most we've ever given?
Equally the most, I think, that you've offered
in the vest. You've never given more than $1 most, I think, that you've offered in the vest.
You've never given more than $1,300.
What a way to start the week.
Yeah.
Wow.
Shantaji still leaves a winner,
but just maybe not as up as she could have. Yeah.
Oh, damn it.
Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
What would you do, Meg, if you're on a flight?
Put me in this situation.
Right, where am I going?
You're travelling on Qatar Airlines.
Qatar?
Okay.
Q-U-A?
It's Qatar Airlines, I think.
Qatar.
Not Qatar.
Not Qatar.
Anyway, move on.
I think you're going to look like an idiot, Clint.
I think you can pronounce it either way.
But anyway, the airline is Qatar Airways,
and you're travelling internationally.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason.
Okay, so I'm going on an overseas trip.
Okay, so a long flight.
Yes, long, long haul flight.
Already some anxiety building.
And unfortunately, for whatever reason,
and we're not going to go into detail here,
a passenger dies on the flight.
On the flight, so they were alive?
They were alive.
They got on the plane alive,
and then they had a medical event on the plane
that meant that they passed away.
Okay.
It was in an aisle,
and the air steward,
the air crew decide to put that person into the seat next to you
with a sheet over them.
How would you feel?
With a sheet over them?
Yeah, so they're covered up.
But the sheet's a real reminder that they're not asleep.
Yeah, I mean, we shouldn't laugh.
I'd imagine they'd be.
Well, we're not, just you are.
But hold on, some people might like the privacy of a sheet over them.
You know.
Well, I know normally you would cover somebody
after they've been deceased,
but I just think if they're sitting in a chair
and they're covered.
This happened last week on a flight.
And yeah, they tried to get the person that passed away
into business class because there was free seats,
private seats up there, but they couldn't lift them.
So they ended up putting them into a seat that was available.
Oh, you know the business class passengers are going to complain
more than the cattle. True, true.
So they put them into the cattle class seats.
It's genuinely a tough one
because I... Wouldn't that rip your nighties
as well? I try and think on both sides.
What do you mean? Sorry, the first time you fly
first class, you're dead.
You'd be very pissed off about that.
Because if it was like, say somebody that I love that had passed away, like my mum or something, I'd be very pissed off about that because if it was like
say somebody that I love
that had passed away
like my mum or something
I'd be really angry
at people for being like
I don't want to sit next
to her dead body
I'm like she died
on a plane alone
like don't be so disgusting
and have some respect
but then I also know
what happens
once the body passes away
is that things
happen
and I'm pretty sure
you empty your bowels
you empty
you gurgle.
There are a lot of things that happen after you die. Sometimes Meg does that
when she's alive. But you know, I know
there are lots of processes that happen.
You get ring of mortars and lots
of stuff happens after you don't just
die and you're just chilling.
Things happen and I would be
thinking about that the whole time. I wouldn't be worried about
them coming alive again if that's what
you're asking me.
I'm fine now.
I just thought there
would be a place
in a plane
because these things
obviously can happen
on a plane
where they would
take you downstairs.
You know in the movies
where they have
the little elevator
and they go down
the elevator
where they keep
all the bags.
Is that not on all planes?
Apparently there was
an airline,
Singapore Airlines,
a few years ago
installed corpse cupboards in their planes in case this event happened.
They were never used.
Yeah, but that makes kind of sense.
Like in case, it's like hopefully you never have to use them.
Well, it's the same with those little bags of oxygen that fall down from the sand.
They still have them, but I'm pretty sure they'd be useless to you if your plane was going to crash into the ocean at like 600 kilometres an hour.
Yeah.
So that's the story that you tell people, though, when you land a day.
Oh, my God, someone died on our flight
and I was sitting right next to them.
Oh, supposedly the people who were seated
next to the deceased person
weren't called afterwards to say,
hey, would you like counselling or whatever?
It could be a traumatic experience.
I don't know.
Give them an upgrade on the way home or whatever
or something.
Yeah, but they're obviously like,
wait, hold on.
The airline never reached out to the people
that they made sit next to the deceased person.
This whole time, I've been sitting here thinking they're getting their flights refunded,
they might get a voucher, they're getting a free meal.
I think there was even free seats around them and they asked to move and they said they couldn't.
Oh, okay.
No, this is a load of BS.
This is crazy.
If there are free seats, if that was the only seat on the plane, I understand it,
but I want my money back and I want vouchers.
But if I get nothing out of it, no way, no way, no way, no way.
What about four bags of cassava chips and a cookie?
You get the dead person's food.
I don't really like cassavas.
Okay.
They'd order the mousse for dessert, though.
For fishing confessions, if you're a flight attendant or a pilot,
maybe you've got a story. We can disguise your voice because I know you're kind of ratting out fishing confessions, if you're a flight attendant or a pilot, maybe you've got a story.
We can disguise your voice because I know you're kind of
ratting out your own industry.
Or you're a passenger.
What happened on the plane that you'll just never forget?
Yeah.
Happened, like, while you were on the plane.
Maybe it never even left the ground.
I don't know.
You're like, oh, my God, I'll never forget that.
We'd love to know what happened to you on a plane
that you will just never forget after Qatar Airways
had a passenger pass away mid-flight
and then they got seated next to the other passengers
with a blanket thrown over the top of them
and the traumatised passengers beside the deceased person
were never contacted.
Yeah, I will start off mildly
so that we can maybe ramp up into bigger stories.
But when I went on a flight to America or somewhere within America,
a woman got up
when we were descending
with her child
because the child
needed to go to the bathroom.
And the seatbelt sign's on.
And the seatbelt sign was on.
And the air host said,
ma'am, sit down.
You know,
they started yelling
very American accent,
ma'am, please sit down.
And the lady was like,
my kid's going to wet themselves.
And the lady's like,
you need to sit down.
It was a back and forth argument.
And in the end, the kid did wet themselves on the chair and then they's like you need to sit down it was a back and forth argument and in the end the kid did wet themselves
on the chair
and then they were arrested
once the flight landed
oh that poor child
because he weed himself
but well because
they stood up
when the seatbelt sign
was off
so they called the police
to meet them
at the other end
not because he weed himself
no no
you can't get arrested
for that
you can't get arrested
for standing up
that's what I learnt
that I was like
oh they take it seriously
in America
yeah a few texts coming through on what happened mid that I was like, oh, they take it seriously in America. Yeah.
Vutex coming through on what happened mid-flight.
I was on a plane where a seagull went through the engine
and caught fire.
That's a bird strike.
That should be really serious.
And you can still land with one...
I mean, I've seen it in the movies,
but you can't take...
Everything you see in the movies is gospel.
You can land with one engine.
Yeah, most aircraft, like big airliners,
they can land with one engine.
If they've got four engines and they lose three,
they can still operate
and land safely
with just one.
That'd freak you out though
if you're sitting in a wing
and you're seeing
the engine on fire.
Oh, that's scary stuff.
You're never forgetting that.
See, that's why you need
Dan next to you
because he can go,
it's okay,
they can land with three.
Yeah.
We've lost the last one.
Now we can't land.
Yeah.
So now this is just a...
Now we're in trouble.
But we get to go down
that cool inflatable slide thing
we saw on the video.
If we're lucky enough
to get down.
Me and my hubby
got upgraded to business class
from LA to Auckland
and sat next to Dave Brohl
and the Foo Fighters.
That's epic.
You're never going to forget
that story.
Holly is a flight attendant.
Holly, what's the craziest thing
you've seen on a flight?
I've had some people
try to do a bit of sexy stuff in their seats.
Oh, you sat next to the Randalls.
Put it nicely.
In their seats.
In the seats.
Well, you're as a flight attendant.
What do you do, Holly?
What do you say?
Like, that's got to be one of those, like, shocker not ones with all the other flight attendants.
It's awkward, but you just kind of, like, when this happened, another person told me,
so I came to, like, double check that that's what we thought we were seeing underneath
the jacket, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah.
And then I just go up and just go, nah, guys.
Like, don't even talk about it too much.
They know why we're saying no.
Was there a seat of, like, a three seat, or is there a spare seat next to them?
Nobody was next to them, right?
There was no spare seat.
Oh my God!
Oh, Lacey, that's when I'm the third person
and I'm like trying to like,
without pressing the button,
trying to get the air hose.
This is like,
I teach them by like,
opening my eyes as wide as possible
and doing like hand gestures.
Oh no, don't do hand gestures.
They were doing enough of them.
Oh my God.
Oh, I'm so happy that you're a flight attendant
that doesn't ignore it
because it'd be so awkward for that person
sitting next to them.
Oh my God.
What hand gestures would you do out of a dispute?
I would raise my, I would stretch and go,
and then I'd go.
Yeah, okay.
Make it quite obvious.
That's the universal one.
Yeah, that's the universal one.
Let's go to Paul.
I'll wait him to the edge.
Hi, Paul.
Hey guys, how's it going?
Yeah, good.
What happened mid-flight?
So, last year in July,
I came back from Rarotonga and a husband
and wife were in Rarotonga celebrating the
anniversary and unfortunately she passed away
of a heart attack. Oh, no.
So, when we were flying back,
they took out the
last four rows of the seats and had her and Bea under a bunch of covers,
and they were, like, literally right behind us.
Really?
So I thought if someone dies abroad,
so they, like, literally carried her onto the plane,
like, her body, like, weakened at birdies.
Yeah, she was in a body bag.
Wow.
But then they lifted up the seats
and had, like, a tent-style cover over top.
So if you see that on a flight, you know what it is without them.
Do they get to board before, like, Airpoint's members and stuff?
Like, are they the first ones on the plane?
They did.
Our boarding was delayed for a, quote, engineering issue.
Right.
But as soon as we boarded the plane, we saw the covers and knew what had happened.
See, that for me is fine.
Thanks, Paul. If somebody passed away,
it's like, I don't get all the heebie-jeebies
around. I think it's
just the story in this Qatar Airlines
airways where it's like, they've
just gone and propped up a dead person
sitting in the seat beside
somebody else. At this point, we'd like to
welcome all our Star Alliance passengers
and deceased passengers onto the plane.
Daniel Webby.
Right, enough.
Yeah.
You naughty boy.
You know, you just hope that they were first on and not last, that's all.
Yeah, that would be.
Yeah.
Okay.
Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge.
Scandal with Meg.
Scandal is thanks to New World.
Nominate someone to get a New World Wonderful Wednesday.
Text WONDERFUL to 3343 or head to theedge.co.nz to get all the details
or to nominate somebody for that wonderful Wednesday.
A wonderful Wednesday.
Yeah.
How exciting.
That'd be lovely.
Right, it was the Brit Awards last night.
I'll go through the winners.
I think Charli XCX cleaned up from what I can see, which is good for her.
Yeah, Brat Summer.
Did you see as well Teddy Swims, what he was wearing? I think CharlieXX cleaned up from what I can see, which is good for her. Yeah, Brat Summer.
Did you see as well Teddy Swims, what he was wearing?
He had like a full... Yeah, it was very weird.
It was like a beard.
...thing with like teddies all over it,
but they were all donated teddies that had been like lost.
So someone had loved them previously, and then they'd been cast away,
and so they sewed them onto this jacket.
So he had just teddies all over it.
Was he also wearing a beard at some point?
Did he get changed?
Because it looked like to me, the photo I saw of him, he had a big pillow around his head. Oh, maybe he got changed. Maybe all over him. Was he also wearing a beard at some point? Did he get changed? Because it looked like to me, the photo I saw
of him, he had a big pillow around his head.
Oh, maybe he got changed.
Charlie won Mastercard
Album of the Year.
Artist of the Year was also Charlie.
Best New Artist, The Last Dinner Party.
Charlie XEX featuring Billie Eilish.
One Song of the Year with Guess.
No, it didn't. One Song of with Guess. No, it didn't.
Really, Guess, one song of the year.
No, it didn't.
We were just taking the piss out of that.
We did parody songs for that because it's talking about Guess the Colour of My Underwear.
Yeah, song of the year with Guess.
This one here, actually, for those because we didn't play it that much.
One of the guests, the colour of your underwear.
Already know what you've got going on down there.
I guess it was catchy.
It's just the lyric really got to me.
I was just kind of like, ugh.
International Artist of the Year was Chapel Roan.
And Global Success Award went to Sabrina Carpenter,
who flew all the way over to do the greatest performance of all time.
She sang Espresso in their bed, Kim.
And you can watch it if you text Sabrina to 3343.
Just, yeah, here's a bit of her singing here.
She is such a star.
I mean, we all know that. There's no
surprise when I say that, but you watch this
and you go, it's almost like the level of watching the Spice Girls again.
Like, just the show, the performance of it.
She's so talented, eh?
So talented, great singer, and just, guys,
the hottest thing alive.
When you say that, like, we all know she's a star,
did Taylor Swift know she was a star before the rest of us?
She must have.
When she got it open on her Heiress tour.
And I didn't even know the name.
Only anyone knew the name.
She definitely had some success already,
like definitely,
but it was not Sabrina
that she is today.
The thing with Sabrina
is she's got some sort of like X factor
that I don't think I've seen,
even with Taylor.
Like where she,
just the way she moves
and I'm not talking about hotness
or anything necessarily.
She's just got a real performance X factor
that you don't see very often.
She, yeah, no one,
she's so unique
in herself because she does comedy as well
as sexy and
Very talented. Yeah,
five minutes of pure heaven. What do you know if you
want to see that? Sabrina23343.
Alright, cool. Very good.
Speaking of
pure heaven. Oh no.
No, no, no. Meg
has spent some time in the recording studio.
Yeah.
And we're going to get some original songs from Meg.
I must say, Clint, I think she's got a bit of confidence.
Since, remember a few months ago we did the Christmas songs,
and she took it out, the best Christmas song between the three of us.
True.
I wonder if it's given her some confidence in the music.
Incorrect.
I wrote, I forgot my husband's text through Sabrina like seven times, by the way.
Guy, I'll send you the link.
All right, I knew we would.
I wrote these songs for Dan's Mo, parody songs,
because I got kind of caught up in the hype of Clint's.
Me was teasing it.
Who knew that me growing a moustache a little bit of facial hair would cause you guys to bully
me so incessantly.
I think it's supportive actually. I've written one parody song for Dan, one for Clint, and one for me.
In the way that...
Three.
Three.
What a treat.
Just our favourite songs.
Okay, great.
I changed the lyrics, too.
Thank you very much.
So you were teasing me about the songs, and then Meg started to come around.
Yeah.
And now she's written her own.
No, she's always bloody changing sides, will you, Lily?
Yeah, absolutely.
18 to 8.
Oh, I look forward to this.
We're debuting brand new original songs from Meg Nick.
If you haven't heard the news, Dan's growing a moustache.
And in fact, he had to bring it up on air last week and go,
hey, why have you guys said nothing?
And that's because we couldn't see nothing.
Now, can I just, can I tell you, can I confess something to you
that you're going to absolutely rip me out for?
Oh. Please. Oh.
Please.
Please.
This is my favourite thing.
Sorry.
You literally, I mean, both of our guns are full,
but if you'd like to give us more ammunition,
I guess we could store it back here somewhere.
So I'm so adamant of getting a moustache that'll make you guys not bully it
and tease it.
Not that you bully it, but, you know, you're always going,
it's the worst moustache you've ever had.
Oh, he's bought moustache growth stuff.
No.
I went out and spent $200 on the special face care groomer
Philips filler shave thing on the weekend.
Shut up.
So I went out and Hannah was like,
why are you not buying that just because you're for the moustache?
And I was like, well, no, I want to maintain my face hair,
my facial hair.
What?
But then there was a red dot sale at Farmers and it was half
price.
So you bought a moustache grooming tool
for... And can you
see the difference? I must say, like,
because I've shaved the rest of my face, it's got quite a
close shave, but I've left them out.
Because you were saying that it blended into the rest of my
facial hair. I do see a difference.
Money well spent. Jesus.
$200. That's cheap. Money well spent. Jesus, $200.
That's cheap.
That's cheap.
That's like buying a comb for one of those bald cats called.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and you bought like a brush so you could comb its fur.
Hey, but it doesn't just work on the face.
Let me just say that.
Okay, that's enough. Okay, Clint wrote eight parody songs last week by himself. And... Three, six, nine.
Damn boy, fine.
Go on and show it to me one more time.
Grow a mole.
Grow a mole, grow a mole, grow a mole.
I was Team Dan and then I got sucked in.
And I wanted to do some.
So we all know I'm not the best singer on the show.
In fact, I have been voted the worst.
Year after year after year, I have been voted the worst singer.
But I did one of our favourite songs each.
Dan, I actually did
change the lyrics
from All Too Well
Taylor Swift.
Oh, I love my favourite
Taylor Swift song.
I have not heard these.
I sang them once
and I walked down the room.
Oh my God,
I have not heard of them.
Just like Taylor.
Cause there it is again
Not a single hair
to be seen
I'm trying to grow a mole
That just feels thick and free
Stare at my lips, put on a show
I can see it now
There's no more
Yeah
Even on a tune like
Oh my god
Gotta keep it on the right
No
The auto-tune
Is fighting for its life
Smokes like boring
Off the machine
It's like I got it
I got it
Just leave it
I got it
I don't think I had it
Honestly Meg
That could be
The worst thing you've ever done
I've got two more
Don't bother
Do you really want To save face here ever done i've got two more don't bother do you really want to save face
here come on i've got two more right let's get it done quick quick okay dan's been growing a moustache
uh it's week two even though it looks like day two and we've been writing parody songs taking
the mickey out of a meg teased me for writing these songs and then she started joining team
clint and guess who's gone to the, booked some time and laid down some tracks?
Meg. Normally you don't
hear me sing, so if you're tuning in for one of the
first times, this isn't a common occurrence.
In fact, Meg
got banned for singing on the show for like a year.
Fair enough too. Shocking, really.
So then I did one that was
Ariana Grande, No Tears Left to Cry.
Oh my goodness sake.
Right now it's double state of
mind
right now it's double state of mind
I want to move like the big guys
But the hair won't align
So I'm shaving it off, shaving it off
Shaving it, I'm shaving it, I'm shaving it off
Shaving it off, shaving it off
I'm shaving it, I'm shaving it, I'm shaving it off Shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off, shaving it off Oh my god, man. Why? I just imagine like, right, it's an audio producer.
Like,
he's like a proper,
talented,
serious dude.
He'd be in there
just be like,
oh my god,
I've been in the game
too long
to be doing this shit.
Man, me.
Okay,
there's one more.
Honestly.
There's one more.
Oh,
you sound like T-Pain.
So that's one.
So that's one.
This one's for Clint.
Tell me why
there's no
Miss Mokie
and Patchy. Tell me why he's dead and always looking patchy.
Tell me why he's just
a little scratchy.
Tell me why he thought
he'd have a thick display.
But no more growing today.
Yeah, that just should have
been...
Should have ended on
the Ariana Grande one.
Sorry about that, boys.
He's shaving it off, he's shaving it off.
Never going to hear that song the same ever again.
Thank you very much.
I'll be honest, I'm giving it two more days
and then I'm going to shave it off, shave it off.
Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge.
Being cash-strapped takes on a whole new meaning.
Cash.
The Edge cash-strapped.
Strapped. Strapped.
Guaranteed cash winners every single morning at 7 and 8
and we'll keep doing it until we give away $50,000.
The offer Dan had strapped him was $1,300.
We weren't aware of that until Charlotte had already agreed to take the $240.
Got it.
Right, yeah.
That's how it goes sometimes.
No, it's got nothing to do with me.
I can't feel bad about it.
No, no.
Chloe, you're going to be walking away with cash this morning
thanks to Cash Strap.
Congratulations.
Hi, thank you.
Hi.
I hear you'd love to have a day away from your children
and just pamper yourself.
Yes, I'd love to.
I've had a newborn now,
so it'd be nice to just get away and go do something for myself.
Yeah, how old is a newborn now, so it'd be nice to just get away and go do something for myself. How old is the newborn now?
Oh, six weeks.
Still young, but, you know.
And how many?
What's your kid count?
I have three.
Okay.
Oh, that's a good number.
Okay.
How are the other two?
Five and two.
Five, two, and six weeks.
Jeez, you're in the trenches.
So what do you want for a pamper day?
How much do you need?
I'm thinking about 500.
Ooh, okay.
Okay, have the bosses given you 500 yet?
They haven't, so that makes me look like a bit of an arsehole.
Thank you for asking that number, Daniel.
But I have $370 to offer.
Oh, that gets you close.
Which would still be, I'm trying to look up places.
Do you live in Hamilton?
Yes, I do. Yeah, there's still, you can get
some very nice spa services in Hamilton
for $370. Spa, nails,
babysitter. That's a generous offer.
Okay, that's a guaranteed day
away from the kids to go pamper yourself.
Yes. You roll the dice, you risk
it and take the money strapped to Dan. Yeah, now I don't
know what's in the vest. I'm going to take the risk.
She hasn't even heard my spiel.
Brilliant.
Okay, just a risky player.
$370 taken away from you right now.
I'm taking that back, Chloe.
You're taking what's in Dan's vest.
I've gone into the vest.
I'm opening the envelope, Chloe.
Oh, the chances of it being a big number twice.
Oh, it looks good.
Chloe.
Is it, though?
You shouldn't have taken the risk, babe.
$2.50 for you for your day off.
Oh, no, thank you, though.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry about that.
I can hear the kids already screaming,
Mum, so I feel like we should get back to them there.
Can't even play the jackpot
sound, really. Now that is cruel, isn't it?
This vest is a cruel thing.
There goes that stone massage. No, that's okay.
Your $350 looks
very good now, Meg. Yeah, it does, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does. I'm sorry, Chloe.
At least you can laugh about it.
That's alright. Thanks, Chloe. Good luck
with the kitties. And that's the real gift.
That's the biggest gift in life. Children.
Yeah, it is is Very expensive though sometimes
And you know
Hot stone massagers
Just go to the river
Grab a couple
Yeah
Put them on a barbecue
Yeah
Put them in some hot water
No I don't think
You should hot stone massage
Yourself
Yes
Quite risky
Alright back again
Tomorrow
Wow she's a real rollercoaster
Or Dan's vest
That is right
$1300
And $2.50
You just never know.
You really don't.
Clint, Meg and Dan
on the edge.
Daniel did his
second or third?
This is my,
well, to be honest,
it's like my fourth time
but this is my
second time in 10 years.
That he's done
stand-up comedy.
He did it over the weekend.
We were not there,
able to be there.
Unfortunately, me and Clint.
Well, I didn't want you
to be there, to be honest.
I like...
How full was the audience? Because I didn't see any
shot of it. There was like 60 people there,
I feel. Not just to see
me. There was like a group
that was like one of those nights where there's multiple people
doing stuff. And
man, it's so, so scary.
I take my hat off to anybody that's a stand-up
comedian that can do it with no nerves.
And maybe the nerves never go away.
But it's basically, you
imagine you're up there on the stage by yourself
and people are there to laugh
and so it's your job
to make them laugh and like, I just don't know
Oh, we know how stand up comedy works. I know.
But then if you actually break it down, how crazy
is that that you go up on stage and like just by
yourself. Why is it you want to do it then?
The thing is, I said this to my mum
asked me that exact same question. She was like
if you hate it, why do you do it? And I'm like, well
I feel like I need to do something that
scares me. Do you know how they say do something
that scares you and it like
gives you more confidence, it builds you
you know. You don't, you're the
of all my friends, I think your confidence
level is fine. Like you're
willing to do stuff that none of my other
friends would ever do.
Yeah, and certain things I would say,
but I think actually public speaking
and doing things publicly
and, you know, talking in front of large audiences
really scares me.
Because we do that,
we speak to people en masse now,
but we don't see the people in front of us.
Stand-up comedy, that would,
in the photo I saw of you standing on stage
with this, like, spotlight,
and I got, like, sweaty hands looking at the photo.
That's like someone saying,
oh, they're kind of scared of the ocean.
And then we're like, well, let's go swim with sharks.
You know, and it's like, hold on,
let's just get used to the mouthfuls.
Yeah, it feels like if you don't like public speaking,
then you did stand up.
It's mental.
But I think it's a good thing to do.
I think I'm doing it again soon.
I'm doing it at the end of the month again.
And hopefully it's maybe slightly easier.
Because it ruined my weekend.
I'll be honest.
It, like, genuinely ruined my weekend.
I was nervous all of Saturday.
Is there a goal?
Like, to the point where I had to go, like, I had to go to the bathroom.
That's how nervous I was.
And vomited?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh.
No.
Oh, you should be doing the thing you're talking about at least once a day.
Do you want to be a comedian?
Is that the goal?
What is the goal of doing it?
I want to be able to, yeah, I would never probably call myself a comedian,
but I'd want to be able to say I can do stand-up.
Okay.
But at this point, I don't think maybe I'm at that level.
I think I need a little bit more practice.
And then after that, will you learn how to dance?
Oh, God, no, that's way out of my league.
People couldn't teach me to dance.
I had to get a CAT scan at high school
because people thought that I was, like,
some sort of motor neuron dysfunction.
That's how uncoordinated I am.
So never dancing.
I just thought you could be, like, all the threats in theatre and stuff.
That's quite funny, though.
You could use that.
Oh, yeah, you could.
Have you used that?
No, I haven't.
Okay.
Yeah. So, yeah, I did a whole load of stuff. That's quite funny though. You could use that. Oh yeah, you could. Have you used that? No, I haven't. Okay. Yeah.
So yeah, I did a whole load of stuff.
It was a six minute set
so there's not much you can do
but I covered about
three or four topics.
One of which was an experiment
we've tried on the radio before
that didn't work very well.
Oh, I remember this.
Laughter's contagious.
Oh, my mum loves this.
Okay, so next
we're going to hear recording
of Dan's comedy set.
Yeah.
Did you have your phone
like in your pocket or something?
Recording.
No, someone recorded
one of the other stand-ups
recorded for me.
They like watched and recorded.
Did you ask him to?
Well, I recorded his one.
So it was like a bit of a
I'll scratch your back,
you scratch mine
kind of situation.
And how did he do?
Ah, don't do that.
How did he do?
He was good.
He was really, really good good I've got his footage
We could play that
It's much funnier than mine
There we go
I needed you there
Because I feel like
Sometimes people
Don't know where to laugh
It's not a good sign
Dan did something that
Meg and I have never done
And I
Never will do
Yeah okay
I was going to say
I personally
Don't think I'll ever do
I'm happy
I'll be happy to say That if I don't think I'll ever do it.
I'll be happy to say that if I never do it in my life,
I will not miss or regret that.
So you don't want me to organise a comedy night with everybody at the edge and everybody does something?
You do that, I'll organise a dance night.
I think I'll go to your dance night if you come to the comedy night.
Yeah, it's very nerve-wracking, I will say that.
It's so scary because you're up there on stage,
everybody's there to laugh, and it's your job to do it.
And sometimes I think you can fall flat.
Okay, and Dan, how long was this?
Seven minutes, you reckon?
Yeah, it was about, I was supposed to do six and I did seven.
Outstayed my welcome, in a way.
And this next bit we're going to play for you is the last bit I did.
Okay, so the closer.
It's kind of a closer, yeah.
This is a bit we've done
on air before. So if you've been listening to our show
for a while, this will ring a bell.
Actually, did you give credit
to my mum for this? Because remember, she was the one
that rang up and said, you guys should do this on the show.
Well, yeah, I actually...
You know, I've done this twice on the radio before
many years ago when I worked on
another show and it worked terribly.
And we did it again. In real life?
Yeah, in real life. And it was
I think it went okay. Yeah.
But I thought in person it might be better.
In the room where there's people, they're there to laugh.
Okay. You know. And so it's
a bit of an experiment to see if laughter's
contagious. Here's the game.
Have you heard the saying laughter's contagious?
Yeah? You know,
you see someone laughing and you go,
I don't know what they're laughing about, but it's funny.
You start laughing. So I'm going to test that right now.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to
start maniacally
laughing.
Okay?
And what I want from you
is laughter back, but
not a pity laugh.
So I don't want you to look at me and go,
f*** that poor guy up on there.
He's laughing away. He's trying his hardest.
No one's laughing.
Believe me.
You agree?
Nobody laughed at me.
Okay, it goes on a little bit longer.
Do you want to keep?
Here's the thing.
I think I told them to not pity laugh too much.
I think you did a few times.
And so then I think the audience were kind of like,
no, we're not allowed
to pity laugh
but then I was like
regretting it.
Like you could have just been like
you wanted them to be neutral
but you almost had them like
trying not to crack up.
Do you think internally
they were busting to laugh?
Well you imagine being in my head
I'm standing up on stage
there's 60 people looking at me
with stunned mullet faces
being like you told us
not to laugh
and so I thought the bit would go
they would feel sorry for me and start
laughing anyway. Because even the guy filming is
clearly not laughing because you'd hear it quite close to
the microphone. Yeah, you're right.
Let's pick up the action halfway through
Dan being the only one laughing in the room
and then see how Dan gets himself
out of this one.
Oh, f***, he laughed.
You guys are amazing. Thank you so much. Oh my god, that part.
I know.
But you have to say that at the end.
Yeah.
Why did he say that at the end?
Because I told him to laugh.
Give us a pity laugh then.
And so they did.
And they're like, oh, okay.
Well, that's actually all right.
You've safeguarded yourself.
Because if they laugh, it works.
If they don't laugh, you swear at them.
Yeah.
And you get angry and then you leave
and everyone thinks that's funny.
And it sounds like you've hit the node
because everyone is laughing.
You just edit out the bit usually
where you told them to laugh.
Yeah.
So there you go.
There's a little trick.
I don't know if I want to do it again, though.
It's so scary.
You're doing it next month.
I know, but that was pre-booked.
So now I'm kind of like,
do I just message the guy and just be like,
oh, look, I can't do it.
That's it.
What did your wife say?
Is she in the audience watching you?
I did some other stuff,
and I showed her the video,
because I've got the full video.
I did some other stuff,
and she said I swore way too much,
and I talked too much about drugs.
That's very not what I would have guessed
in Dan Webby's set.
Which I think of all the subjects you know lots about,
I'd say that would be right down the bottom.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
So she was like, I wouldn't do that next time.
You know what, Dan?
Improvement because you didn't make out with a lasagna.
Exactly.
Which is what happened last time.
That was the last time I did.
No, he made out with an imaginary lasagna.
I think it was made love to the imaginary lasagna.
There was no lasagna harmed in it, but I will say that.
Yeah, you got carried away.
Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
The Oscar goodie bags have been revealed.
I didn't know that they did this, Meg.
Is this a new thing or have they always done this?
No, they've always done this.
For years and years and years.
If you get invited to the Oscars, there's a room you go through,
I think on exit, and you walk through and there's a whole load of,
it's like going to an expo and there's a whole load of different,
I think, bags and you can grab whatever you want.
So it's not like it's under your seat or whatever.
Yeah, I don't know if they're still doing it the same way,
but I've heard that's how it has been done in the past.
Yeah, so this year's goodie bag, boys.
Okay, we go to that little back room.
The three of us will be in a novel ad for an Oscar.
It's like Christmas Day.
Oh, my gosh, okay.
And then we see the Everybody Wins gift bag.
That's what it's called, the Everybody Wins gift bag.
We open it up, we rifle through because we're not cool enough
to wait until we're back in the hotel.
Oh my God, we'd be peeking straight away.
I'd wait till I'm in the limo.
No way.
You're looking through it.
I'm doing that thing where I'm holding the bag,
but I'm looking down and trying to peek through the top of it
if it's not sealed.
Okay, so you get, the whole bag is valued at $380,000 New Zealand dollars.
Pass off.
Yep, yep, yep.
Are you kidding me?
It has some cannabis products in it, pre-rolls and THC infused drinks, which you can have in California.
Dare to be ripping to those in the limo.
A four night stay at a resort in the Maldives that's worth $23,000 American dollars.
But those ones I sort of question because what celebrity, they're rich anyway, they don't need a free holiday.
So why, I wouldn't take it.
If I was a multi-millionaire, I'm not going, oh, I'll just pay for it.
But you could be a new actor who's just shot up on the scene, but you're not being paid the sort of money that A-listers are.
Isn't it true that really, really rich people
are some of the cheapest people
you'll ever meet
and that's why they're rich?
Some, yeah.
You know, like,
some are like that, right?
Well, I just,
what I think about that
is that I think it will be like,
stay four nights
and pay for only six.
You know, like,
I don't,
you know,
that's opposite.
Don't take that deal.
It's a bad deal.
Stay for four
and pay for six.
That's a bad deal.
I'm out.
It's a charity. It's a charity. But what about four and pay for six. That's a bad deal. Jesus, I'm out. It's a very bad deal.
But what about when people go to the Oscars
who are like best editor and stuff?
They might not be loaded.
Exactly.
Do they get a goodie bag?
Yeah, everyone gets a goodie bag.
Everybody wins.
That's the people you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
23 years this has been running, by the way, the bags.
Okay.
They also have a $5,200 stay at a Barcelona hotel,
an Ancestry DNA $25,000 VIP family experience package.
You don't want to uncover some skeletons with that one, though.
They also include $250 John Boo's cutting board,
skincare products from Swiss brand Institutum.
Oh, yes, the old Institutum.
I think you said that wrong.
You've done Swiss dirty.
It's spelled, okay, I think I need to yell it
because it's all in caps lock
and it's spelled I-N-S-T-Y-T-U-T-U-M.
Institutum, Clint.
Thank you, Clint.
Thank you, Dan.
And luxury pocket squares from Daniel Ashley
valued at $1,570.
What's a luxury pocket square?
It's just this thing you're shoving the top of your pocket
when you're wearing a suit?
If you're buying them,
you're too rich.
So the man who does these bags,
Distinctive Assets,
which is, I think,
if they've been going for 23 years,
this is the very first influencer bag.
Do you know how influencers
get PR packs sent to them
and then they post about them
to try and make people
want to buy the products
and that's why they get sent
free things?
These are the first.
This guy was the founder of them.
He said,
my goal when I'm building the bag is that when I go,
there's some cool shit in here that I would love to get if I was a celebrity.
That's his goal.
So that's his job.
And he gets to go around.
I reckon he should take out the voucher where you stay for four nights at the Maldives and pay for six.
Let me show you.
There is a video.
But let me show you, boys.
To me, the guy needs to get a new camera.
Because, I mean, I just don't think it looks very good.
This is what you get in the bag.
It does look like junk, doesn't it?
Oh yeah,
it's just like some of that crap.
Yeah, look at you guys
making that face.
It needs to bring up the
It does look junky.
the brightness there a little bit.
Is that how they
What I'll do is
I'll get a bounce back set up
if you want to see the video
of the full what's in the bag
but I must say
it does look a bit junky.
I will say this, Clint.
Meg and I went to this event last year
and it was like
a goodie bag situation.
We walked through this thing
and where you could grab
or what you thought
you could grab
all the stuff off shelves
and put them in a goodie bag.
I remember I grabbed
three or four things
off a shelf
and the guy followed me
down to the thing
and he was like,
you're not allowed
to take those.
You're not allowed
to take them.
And so I'd literally
stolen a whole load of stuff
that I wasn't supposed to take.
Really?
Yeah.
Producer Kyle,
could we give out like a
Clint Meaghan Dan goodie bag?
Yeah, I reckon I can find like
an air freshener
with one of your faces on it,
a sticker and a lanyard
or something like that.
I don't need a lanyard for that.
Must see movie maybe?
Yeah, Chuck.
Mickey 17 with Robert Pattinson.
I've seen the billboards
all over the place.
Soon cinemas on Thursday.
Chuck a double of that.
There is one good thing in there.
Actually, the bag also includes a one-year membership into Bright Harbour Personalised Disaster Recovery Support Bill will do all over the place. Soon Cinemas on Thursday. Check a double of that. There is one good thing in there, actually.
The bag also includes a one-year membership
into Bright Harbour Personalised Disaster Recovery Support
and 10 additional memberships to give to family and friends.
So I think that's like a charity thing,
but you got given it, so it's not,
I mean, maybe it ticks off that list
and you hear that you've given to charity.
We can also throw in a voucher,
like where you stay for four nights
at your choice of Airbnb and you pay for six.
Yeah.
Like Meg was saying.
I'm sure we can manage that.
We'll be generous.
Say seven.
Text BAG to 3343 if you'd like to see the guy break down every single thing you get in this year's swag bag.
And if you wonder how good your bag just costs, 0800 The Edge.
Well, actually, we genuinely will put it together and we'll send it out to you.
Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge.
Rover.
