Good morning. It's one to six on your Tuesday. Killed it. Killed it. Good morning. How are we feeling this morning? Really good. Really good. Really nice. How are we feeling this morning? Really good. Really good.

Really nice. I hate to say it, but I know it is a saying, and I've said it before, and you guys have ripped me to shreds for it. Full of spunk. And my granddad used to say that. He used to say that every time. He'd say, are you full of spunk today, boy? And I'd say, yes, I am.

Was that, like, in the morning? It just went, I'd see him. He'd go, hey, cobber, you're full of spunk. And I'd say, yes. Because you were, like, a 19-year-old boy. Oh, yeah. Weren't you? Yeah, they're probably full of spunk.

Oh, but it's a saying. You Google it, full of spunk, doesn't mean what you think it is. Can someone else, one of the producers, Google it? What I'm saying, I'm Googling full of spunk. Meaning, full of spunk meaning. Just click the first thing that pops up. There's something about MILFs here. What's that?

Why did you ask Carl? Of all the people to ask to Google that. Good morning. Thanks for choosing us nice and early. Yeah, we know you've got a choice, don't we, Meg? Yes. Yeah, appreciate you hanging out with us. Dan was just Googling a little more about full of spunk,

which is something his grandad used to say to him You full of spunk this morning, and actually now that we talk about it My mum still will be like Oh he's spunky So it's an old saying Is that just about your dad or is she looking at other men? Spunky's a thing, like if you go God he was a bit of a spunk

I'm sure that I've heard Christine describe you as a hunger spunk A hunger spunk Or like spunky. Well, Dan's actually Googled it and it turns out it's actually quite a positive thing to be referred to as. The phrase full of spunk is a very old phrase according to Google. It was always meant as a genuine compliment. It referred to

a person who was full of energy or get up and go. And that's exactly what I like to think I am. Full of it. Full of get up and go. You're full of something, my darling. That is absolutely true. A lot of people say full of shit it. Full of get up and go. You're full of something, my darling. That is absolutely true. A lot of people say full of shit. But yeah, so there you go. I think we need to bring back

full of spunk. Yeah, you could give it a nudge. You do that and let us know how it goes. And always be recording. Yes. So you can bring back the results to the show. Yeah. And I'd love to give you guys some of my spunk. If I could. Because sometimes at this time of the morning, I feel like you're lacking a bit of it.

I wouldn't mind having that conversation with HR present. Okay. And then... And I'll offer you some spunk then when they're in the room. When they're in the room. When it's all above board. Much more comfortable with that. Yes.

Okay. Kind of like gusto. It is gusto. Gusto and spunk. Gusto, yeah. Yeah. Pizazz Yeah Pizazz Pizazz

They're all of the same ilk, Clint Sure, sure And if you've got more of it than the rest of us Then yeah, I guess it's good You can share it around Yeah, yeah I'm pent up with Spunk, if anything Anyway, how was your guys' day yesterday?

I had a good day yesterday Thank you very much Very standard Went home, knitted something, you know I had a good day yesterday. Thank you very much. Very standard. Went home, knitted something, you know. What? Knitted something? Yeah, making my mum a bag. Can you felt a full bag, can you?

Well, yeah, I'm like felting and then sewing the bag. Wouldn't it just be faster to buy one? Yeah. That's what I've always said, Clint. You know what? The kids overseas, they whip them up way quicker. Neon She I've always said, Clint. You know what? The kids overseas, they whip them up way quicker. Neon Sheen, D-Mood.

They're very, very quick. And I hear quite well paid. And it's actually, like after school activities and arts and crafts, honestly, my kids would struggle over in different parts of Asia

or wherever. Yeah, they get distracted and stuff. Yeah, and they start a project and I'm like, if you guys are going to get all the wool and stuff out, you better put it away. Oh, we will, we will.

Never do. You know what? Always mum and dad putting it all away. A little interesting, another little fact for you. So you know the iPhone? I was watching you

on TikTok the other day. How much do you think it costs at Foxconn to make the iPhone? The latest iPhone. I've read a report and it could be BS and I don't want to like cut your lunch on this, but it's ridiculously

low. So they cost thousands. I'm going to say $2,000. It takes $45 to make. I've read $10. $9.50 apparently US. So yeah, it'd be just over nearly

$20 New Zealand. So at that point, I think that's because it doesn't take, that kind of makes sense to me of the parts. They're not expensive. They're little bits of metal. It's the technology about designing and creating the AI. Yeah, because there's a lot of work that goes into, I guess, the phone before it's actually even thrown together.

It's not just bits of metal just plonked together in glue. But still. But yeah, I get it. If they make them for $9 and then they won't give them to you for $2,000, Just bits of metal just plonked together and glued. Yeah. But still. But yeah, I get it. And still. If they make them for $9 and then they won't give them to you for $2,000, well, it's not. Well, are they paying the, hopefully you'd like to think they're paying people well.

I don't think they are. Well, who knows? I don't think they are, though. Let me live. Let me just live in hope, please. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So these are little facts. So you know about Spunk now and iPhone cost.

You learn a lot on this show. Yeah, but I don't want to know that the thing I paid $2,000 for is actually costing them $10. Yeah, that takes away my spunk, actually. That makes me less spunky. Yeah, I'm kind of empty of spunk now. I'll see you in chocolate. Just in. Okay.

Getting to know everyone that listens to the show nice and early a little more intimately with this. Getting to know William Wedding from Auckland this morning. I feel like I already know William. Hey William, we've chatted before, haven't we, me and you? Morning guys. Morning Willie. How are you? Yeah, bloody good. Yeah, we've spoken to you before.

Bloody hell. Okay, I'm going to go through William's... I'm going to go through William's stats that producer Carl got behind the scenes. He works with freight trains at the Shunt Yard. He drives a holding Commodore. He's got a partner with two boys. It's actually his partner's birthday today. His nickname's Willie.

He's a Sagittarius, and his favourite position is Mummy on Top. Mummy on Top. Of course it is. Of course it is. That's how he got his on top. Mummy on top. Of course it is. Of course it is. That's how he got his two kids. Mummy on top. So, yes, your partner is mummy, I'm guessing, or is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a cute round. Just a shudder saying when you're a partner, you say mummy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God, he's cutting out. So hopefully we're going to be able to chat to William. What do you think he got his partner for her birthday today? Okay.

Yeah, we'll do that one. Yeah, we're doing that one because, you know, mummy works hard. She's on top. Yeah, yeah. Can I ask you just quickly, can I ask you a follow-up question? How long have you been together? We've been together three years. Three years.

Okay. Okay. I think, oh, God, what did William get? Three years and two kids. Three years. Okay. Okay. I think... Oh, God. Why did William get... Three years and two kids. That is a lot of... That's busy. I think you set out breakfast for her in the morning.

You got the boys to do a card for her. And then you got her some sort of gift that's to do with skincare or smelling nice. Okay. Wow, you've gone very specific there. You're good. I like that. She's really, like, picked her lane. Yeah. Not, you've gone very specific there. You're good. I like that. She's really, like, picked her lane. Yeah.

Not like... Dan, who's just going to be, like, I reckon he hasn't got her anything, but what he has done is he's going to take her out for a lovely dinner. Okay. Yeah, so I don't think you...

Because that's what you do with your wife, eh? Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, so I think no present, no gift, and it was agreed upon, but you're taking her out for dinner. No, I reckon it's a dirty weekend away

or at least a night. They've got an Airbnb or a hotel room, and he's offloading the kids to whoever the hell's going to take him. He doesn't care. His parents, her parents, he's just looking forward to the night away. Okay, who's closer, Willie? Yes, sir. Oh, here's the tricky part, where his phone's

a little dodgy. Who's closer there again, Willie? Hello, I'm still here. Yeah, who won? Who won? What did you get your wife for her birthday? Well, nothing yet because I'm on night shift, but we are going out for dinner tonight. Dan wins!

Oh, God, I was pretty much bang on. Perfect, bang on, bang on. Oh, well, you know what? There's always time. As long as you get her something before the end of the day. Yes, fair enough. I'll go shopping today. Yeah, good on you, yeah. Oh, well, you know what? There's always time. As long as you get her something before the end of the day. Yes, fair enough. I'll go shopping today. Yeah, good on you. Good man, good man.

Fair enough. Thanks, William. He's like, I've been reminded. Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Willie. Nice to get to know you, bro. Clint, Meg and Dan on the Edge. Clint, Meg and Dan Scandal.

In Scandal, I go through the pitchfork review that Lady Gaga has received for her Mayhem album. First, I'm going to go back through some that we will know. Like Weezer with Say It Ain't So, their album Blue. Oh, got the Blue album. Years ago, I know it's years ago, but it's got 10 out of 10.

Okay, so yeah. I'm just showing you some big ones. That's a very critically acclaimed album. Oh, it is, Dan. I wanted to hear you with that. It is, yeah, yeah. One of the greatest rock albums ever made, apparently. He's got that information.

I knew you'd have something. Well, it's easy to say it's the greatest when you just told him it got a 10 out of 10 review. Yeah, but it's quite well known. The Blue Album for Weezer's a good one. You give me the next one. Tell me what the rating was. Lana Del Rey, Born to Die, that album.

Yeah, and what did it get out of 10? It got 5.5, and then it got changed to a 7.8 years later. Yeah, so initially I think people thought it was quite crap, and then it got changed to a 7.8 years later. Yeah, so initially I think people thought it was quite crap and then they realised that it was actually pretty decent.

Here's the thing about Clint. He hates it when other people just maybe good at something. You can't like, it's so odd. You can't say when Meg says

it got a 10 out of 10 and you're like, yeah, critically acclaimed. It was one of the best albums of all time it's like she's giving you the answers give me the answers

for the next one see if I can do it again okay Invasion of Privacy Cardi B with songs like this one it's got an 8.7 what do you reckon Dan

what do you know about I don't know about this one because I only know rock okay and Hit Me Hard and Soft Billie Eilish's latest album got a 6.8 when you look at those others, it's 6.8.

When you look at those others, she got a 6.8 for that album. So we're looking at Lady Gaga's Mayhem. Your guesses, boys, were a three from Dan, a five from Clint. Have either of you listened to the album in full? I've just, all I've heard is the, like, whispers. That wasn't my question. No, I haven't heard it. Nah, I've only heard this and then obviously the Die With A Smile. Die With A Smile.

Bruno Mars, which has been sitting at number one for a record number of weeks. I think it's number two now in New Zealand. I like Abracadabra. So do I. And this is my favourite song off the album, Make Him. It's called How Bad Do You Want Me. Sounds like Taylor Swift. Who was it?

It's Lady Gaga. Okay, this is the first time I've ever heard this song, and I would have called Taylor. Is this off this current album? This is off this album. Oh, it does sound Taylor-ish. 1989, 5-6. It got an 8 out of 10.

Oh, wow. That's a good review. This is what it says. It says, It should come as no surprise that an artist who revels in maximalism has stuffed her album and mayhem may have played better if its track lists were whittled down from 14 to 10. But still, it is among Gaga's strongest ever full-length statements.

For all its range, there is a clear guiding vision, one both seductive and punishing, Gaga's singular brand of loud, soul-bearing bubblegum teeters on the edge of art and commerce, taking big risks while seemingly unafraid of chart failure. Almost 20 years into her recording career and more famous than ever, she is right where she is supposed to be.

Oh, she'll be pleased with that. How come like hardly any of the songs from the album are getting any radio play? They might now. You know, like because isn't that funny? Dan's been saying it's had these kind of whispers that it's crap. Yeah. But who's actually had a given good go?

But I think the whispers are maybe not from critics. They're just from, like, everyday people. And then because it's not getting radio play, you go, well, maybe it is crap because no one's playing anything off it. But if you think some of the most critically acclaimed albums aren't necessarily radio albums. You know, Lemonade from Beyonce. That was really critically acclaimed. But you'd never, like, there was maybe one or two songs. True, Lemonade from Beyonce, that was really critically acclaimed but you'd never,

like there was maybe one or two songs on it. True, even her country album which was like, yeah, won a Grammy and whatever and we maybe played one song off it.

Texas Hold'em and the Post Malone one, Levi Jean. How Bad Do You Want Me is not Lady Gaga's single. She has just released a single which was Vanished Into You,

I believe. I think How Bad Do You Want Me is going to become the single because everyone loves it. And it's going to be one of those four singles, even though she wasn't releasing it.

It's going to be the next song and I think we'll play this on The Edge, personally. I like the sound of this song. Clint, Meg and Dan on The Edge. We've got $4,000 worth of prizes to give away to celebrate the return

of Macca's Surprise Fries. So this week, we're giving you the opportunity to choose. You can take the $100 cash instantly. It's yours. Or peel a sticker from our in-studio board to reveal your prize. It's Brooklyn playing this morning.

Hey, Brooklyn. Morning. Morning. Morning, Brooklyn. Brooklyn grows tomatoes, boys. Oh, big ones? Yeah. So you're not doing the little small ones, the little cherries,

because I like a cherry tomato. Strawberry top. No, they're annoying. You don't do the little jelly bean tomatoes. I don't know if I could get on with you, Brooklyn. You're just some subjects you besties need to agree on. All right, Brooklyn, you're here to play Maccas the Prize Fries. Would you like to take the $100 or would you like to go and peel the board

and see what prize you've won? Could be good, could be bad. I'm going to take the money. Yay, what? That's a first. No one is taking the money. And Brooklyn, I feel like that's the right call, even though I'd be tempted to peel as well.

But one bad and three good prizes is sort of the pattern over the last four days. Good on you. Good on you. Yeah, well, the way I think of it, it's $100 I don't have. Yeah. God, this is a first. My kind of girl. Get in.

We need you to call up sometimes for cash strapped. Great head on your shoulders there, Brooklyn. Tell you what, Brooklyn, you're $100 richer. That money will go in your account ASAP. Well done. Do we peel off the thing and find out what she could have got? No, we don't. That's going to be, I find out what she could have won? No, we don't. That's going to be, I guess, tomorrow.

Yeah, we leave it. It goes to tomorrow. Oh, we do do it. Are we doing it? Oh, no, we do. Oh, we do find out what Brooklyn passed on. Oh, can we do? Oh, okay. Okay, so we find out what she could have won, even though she's got $100. Okay. Here she goes. She's gone over to the board. Let's hope it's a booby prize. I hope it's something suck.

Oh, my God. Does it suck? Does it suck? Please suck. Brooklyn made a really good decision. Because what you would have won is Dan writing you a haiku poem about losing. Oh. That's worth $100. Well, I do.

Damn, I'm a little gutted Dan doesn't have to do a little more homework behind the scenes. I could give her a little quick haiku as well. Oh, bonus. So she gets bonus. What is it? Haiku's 575, right? Yeah, correct. give her a little quick haiku as well. Oh, bonus! So she gets five. What is it? Haiku's 575, right? Yeah, correct. Yeah, well, maybe you could do that, but about congratulating her

that she got her hundred bucks. Okay. Because it doesn't make sense if you wrote her a poem about losing when she didn't. She grows tomatoes. Okay, Brooklyn is a girl. Yes.

Five. Yeah. Jesus. She. Five. Yeah. Jesus. She grows tomatoes for work. Seven. Yeah. She just won money. Oh, come on.

That was on the spot. Five, seven, five. No way. How does he do it? Oh, my God. Brooklyn is a girl. She grows tomatoes and she won money. Hell, God.

Unbelievable. Meg, we are so spoiled. I know we are. Brooklyn, congratulations. You got both there. That was the smartest play from you. And how does it feel just to be in this space of greatness? You know?

It does shock me how much you back yourself. Yeah. It really does. Yeah. All right. Surprise, surprise. Back at Macca's, you can play for a one in three chance to win. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.

We want to know, what's the That'll Do For Now workaround that you've come up with? And it seems to have become the new way of doing the thing. Take a listen to some of the people who have found temporary fixes in their life. On my old first car, my speedometer didn't work. I used to use a speedometer app. My partner dropped his phone at work and the entire screen shattered. So he plugged the phone into the TV.

Unbelievable. And he plugged like a mouse or something into the TV so he can use his phone with the mouse and the TV. My oven door. So the handle's popped off, screw's poking out and I have to kind of pinch the screw and open it that way. Our oven's not level. My partner's mum came over and went to open up the oven the other night and the drawer came out by itself and she goes,

you've got a flash oven. It's always ovens, eh? Another one's just come through. Jay's just texted her saying we've been putting up with a stove top that takes forever to heat up a pot or pan for the last 16 years. 16 years! Wow, that's amazing. I used to have one like that, Jay, in my old

flat and it had a crack and it was one of those ceramic ones that had a crack and it would take half an hour to heat up. You'd turn it on and walk away. Have a shower. Someone else just actually keeps an air fryer in their oven. So you open the oven and that's where the air fryer is. You just put it in the air fryer. That's not real. It's like the inception of heating devices.

I must say it's mostly appliances within the kitchen. Do you guys put, like, are you guys putting up with anything in your lives? I know our vacuum cleaner. My vacuum cleaner too. Yeah, we've got the same one. How do you, what's the fix? No, no, no, my one's completely broken.

If you have the Samsung one, do you have the Samsung? Yeah, and it just sucks. Yeah, my one was meant to. No, not in a good way. My one broke completely. We took it in to get it fixed and they said sucks. Yeah, mine was meant to. Not in a good way. Mine went out broke completely. We took it in to get it fixed and they said it'll be $880 to get fixed. $880?

So we've got a Kmart 59 jobby at the moment. Yeah, for some reason, like the one I use, it's the same as Meg's and it just doesn't suck up. Like you have to go over like... I thought you said it did suck. No, but in a bad way.

It's getting confusing since we're talking about vacuuming. You're going over something, you're constantly having to like fully like over it like four or five times before it sucks it up.

Yeah. Life's too short. Life's too short. But if you can find a workaround where you go it actually does the job almost as well

and I'm saving a lot of money. Like the lady who couldn't turn off her lawnmower so she just put a little enough fuel to do the lawns

every time and then she'd just leave it running and go inside and it would eventually run out of fuel and turn itself off. I love that one, it's my favourite one.

Yeah, it was my favourite. It's my favourite one. So inconvenient. But over time, you'd work out how much fuel you'd need, I guess. You should probably

measure it out. My lawnmower takes about 17 pulls before it starts. You are an expert at pulling them. I honestly go out there and I'm just like,

Hannah watches me and laughs. My wife. It takes me 15 minutes to start the lawnmower and about 10 minutes to do the lawns. Bad suckers. Just my life. It's just an

excess sucking and pulling. That's me. That's my life. Alright, I went under the edge. Or text us on 3343. What is the workaround that you've come up with that's almost as good as the real thing? I'll wait under the edge. We've got a couple of edge must-haves.

Bloody hell. To give away next. What is your new that'll do for now workaround? Your thing's busted and you've just found a new way of getting it to still kind of do what it used to do. And you haven't had to spend any money on it. Someone's text through saying the top quarter of my phone is now black. Every time I open it, I pray there's no more black parts. So I'd imagine you can't see the time, the battery percentage or anything like that.

Couldn't do it. Yeah. Life's too short, especially if you're using your phone daily. I'd love to get this person on, Meg. We've had a hole in our kitchen floor for about the size of a beach ball for three years. Hubby's a builder. Your builder's house, eh? Always working on someone else's and never their own.

Why is that? Is it just like also hairdressers, do they never have their hair done because... Well, here's the thing. Do you go home and do radio, Meg? No. No, actually, I see what you're saying. You kind of talk less. Kind of like, wow, I feel like maybe personal trainers should be the exception.

But if you're at the gym all day and then at the end of your day, you're like, now I've got to go do my own workout. But I feel like your physique is like a billboard for how good you are as a personal trainer, I feel. There's a personal trainer at my gym, and I may be going against the paradigm here, but he's like skinny. He's like a stick. And I mean, they could be very knowledgeable in how to tell you how to get into the shape you want to be,

but I just don't want someone to train me who looks like I could outbench them. Yeah. That's just me personally. But he's always training these big, buff guys, and he's just standing there Like real skinny Yeah They never trust a skinny cook

As well they say Alright let's go to J Oh I'm to the edge J what have you been putting up with Our stove top It's When we bought the house You know when you buy a house

You sort of put all your money in And you know Just buy a house And you sort of Move in And you're like Oh yeah sweet And then you realise

That there's things wrong with the house Yeah Oh gorgeous And then yeah Now it's just It's just been a norm and you sort of move in and you're like, oh, yeah, sweet, and then you realise that there's things wrong with the house. Yeah. Oh, gorgeous. And then, yeah, now it's just been a norm. Like, we just either use the barbecue or it's just easier. It's a bit tricky in winter. It's probably nice in summer to use the barbecue, but then in winter when it's pissing down with rain.

Yeah, how long have you used the barbecue over your indoor stovetop for? A very long time. I went and bought a pellet smoker as well because the oven's pretty average as well because it's just easier to chuck something in the pellet smoker. I mean, Jay, you live in Christchurch.

There'll be snowy days that you're out there with the pellet smoker. You could have said... No, put it in the garage. Put the pellet smoker in the garage. Oh, yeah. All right. And your partner's probably like,

yeah, cool. Let's just keep doing that because Jay doesn't cook. Yeah, yeah. It's easier, yeah. Would your. And your partner's probably like, yeah, cool. Let's just keep doing that because if Jay doesn't cook it. Yeah, yeah, it's easier, yeah. Would your partner like a Lancome Genifique Ultimate Serum valued at $260, Jay? I'm sure she will, yeah. It's not going to cook the dinners, but it'll make her skin great. Yeah, yeah.

It helps repair skin and signs of ageing so she'll look younger. What do you mean? Why is that her job to cook the dinners, and you're saying that she's got wrinkles? That's an awful thing to say. No, I'm saying it's not going to solve their issues of their oven, but it will solve the issues of the wrinkles. Not that I think she has wrinkles. Okay, okay.

Mate, you need a ladder, not a spade. Hey, Sarah. Good morning. Good morning, Sarah. What is the thing that you're putting up with in your life? So my partner's got a generator he's had for 10 years and

he doesn't have the keys for it so he's been using a screwdriver. Starts first pop every time. For how long? 10 years. 10 years! Is that why he won't get it fixed because there's no point in theory? Yeah, pretty much.

Just shove the screwdriver in and away you go. So is he not planning on like, oh yeah, I guess ever selling it off? Because that's going to be a hard one to sell. That's a fine generator. Sarah, how are your wrinkles? Huh? How are your wrinkles? You double down, Clint.

Would you like to look younger too, like Jay's wife? Oh, yeah, yes, definitely. Okay. New Genifique Ultimate Serum. Visibly proven results in just one week. Coming your way as well. Oh, fantastic. Thank you.

You're welcome. You're welcome, Sarah. Huh? Huh? What do you mean? What do you mean? Yeah. I think if the generator's still generating, there's nothing wrong with it.

Yeah. You know? Start with the keys, start with the screwdriver. I know there the generator's still generating, there's nothing wrong with it. Yeah. You know? Start with the keys, start with the screwdriver. I know there are people that start their cars with screwdrivers. Really? Yeah. And you've got to take it out, because otherwise you're just leaving keys in the car effectively.

Yeah. Yeah. Although, if you left a screwdriver in a car, I wouldn't know how to start it. Really? Yeah, I just wouldn't. Jam it in, give it a turn. That's it.

Yeah. Simple as that, Meg. Wow, romantic. I reckon it's kind of like someone's stolen their car and then they're like, oh, you've buggered all the ignition and now that's just how they start their car.

I tell you what, getting a car stolen is one of the most inconvenient things because quite often you have to wait for it to be found before the insurance even covers it. So you're just without a car for ages. And then they find it

just before the window closes where they're about to pay you out and you get it back with all these things even covers it. So you're just without a car for ages. And then they find it just before the window closes where they're about to pay you out and you get it back with all these things wrong with it. Starting with a screwdriver for six months. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Win a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge cash strapped.

Strapped. All right, win your share of $50,000. We'll keep giving away cash until it's all gone. And we're taking cash-strapped to the streets this Friday, 8 p.m. Sorry, 8 a.m. Gosh, I never want to sleep. Kelburn Park, Harrison from Edge Afternoons is going to be running around with two grand strapped to him and also a double pass to Jim Beam Homegrown,

the last one in Wellington's waterfront. Who out of me and you, Clint, is going to tell Dan he doesn't need to wear the vest anymore? One, we're on radio. Two, all the fake money's been ripped off it. And now it looks like he's just wearing the vest. I think this is the thing about me and our relationship, the three of us. I'm the one that's keeping it spicy, you know, and just trying to, you know, go the extra mile. Oh, it's a sad day of Dan.

We keep the one. Spice up relationship. You guys are just, you know, you're just going through the motions. Okay? We've been married for three years now. Dan's still trying to do some kinky shit. He's still trying to make an effort. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, you're going to be doing kinky shit with Bella as well. Hey, Bella. Good morning. Hey, Bella. Bella Wicks is a speech and language therapist, and I hear that your laptop is kaput. What happens?

Yeah, well, most of the time when I turn it on, it turns back off. That's not a good sign. That's quite hard to work on, I imagine. Does it auto-save before it does it or no? Not always. Yeah, that's annoying. I feel like laptops only last like four years now.

Yeah, they just die after four years. For some reason, Jade, the boss is stingy with me, so I won't be able to buy you a whole new laptop with the money I have, but it will be a decent chunk going towards it. Okay. I will give you $450. Oh, that's not bad. That's a little bit more generous than they normally are with you, Meg.

Yeah, to put towards getting a new laptop, and hopefully that helps out, but I imagine it's probably not going to buy a whole brain. I can give you an iPad maybe. You could upgrade to an iPad. Whereas Dan, I know, has had things like thousands of dollars in that vest before. Yeah. I mean, you could.

There is a chance you could go into the vest and not get any laptop. You could go full MacBook Pro. You know? The thing is though, Bella, but I guess sometimes I want to stay out of it because I've talked people into doing something

and I've been wrong in the past. But I'm just going to give you the facts. Dan has had $1,100 or $1,200, $1,500 like in his vest. When Meg has had a decent cash amount,

Dan's had better. Yeah. But I feel like because they've been doing that a lot, what are the chances they continue to do it? I reckon it's he's low today, if I'm being honest. He's had a lot of high numbers. That's what I mean. He's had a lot of high numbers

which would make me cagey to go with the vest. But I mean, it's up to you, Bella. It's just how it's been. You came here with nothing. 450, 450. Do you want me to put it into your account now or do you want to go into Dan's vest? Okay, I had a number in my mind and definitely if it was anything

over 400, I was just going to go for it because, I don't know, the risk is great. Now that you're here, is it feeling funny? Come on, Bella. Need a decision. That 450, is it yours?

Yeah, I'm going to take it. Well done. I feel it's a good call from you. Yeah, me too. Okay. I'm going into the vest to see what you could have got. And Bella, if you'd chosen me,

it would have been a bad decision because the vest was only offering $150. Yes! Well played, Bella. Well played. $450. Not bad for a phone call, huh?

Really. That's very, very well played. Alright, you all be able to get that money into your account ASAP. Bella, well played. Back again at 8 o'clock. Another chance for you to win with Cash Trapped. And a reminder, yeah, Wellington, 8 a.m. Friday. Nice. Yeah, your chance to catch Harrison for a couple of grand

and a double pass to Jim Beam Homegrown. Behind the scenes, sometimes when we're not talking, you know, we're sitting and listening to what you guys hear, whether it's music or ads, I've been hearing something that is sending the shits at me. Oh, you should really get those voices in your head checked. It's a bit odd. Right.

Clint and I haven't been hearing them either. I've heard something that's making me very nervous that they're playing on the edge. You need to go to the doctor, I said. I've been hearing something on a show throughout the other shows that is making me a little nervous. I have been hearing some sort of teasers about a certain thing called safe house.

Oh, God. The Edge safe house is coming. Find the house to win a share of $10,000. It starts March 24, 8 a.m. 8 a.m. this one. We're on air. Oh, no. God God it is too And the thing is with that Is that you'd sit there and go

Okay, well you guys will know But we talked about this last year We went last year and we didn't know And it just happened And we were driving around for, God how long was it? 12 hours? Anyone who used to say to me You guys all pretend you're on this blindfolded mission for ages.

We know you don't. That made me so angry because we legitimately flew from Auckland to, it was a Hawke's Bay, and that was fine. We weren't blindfolded. When you were going to Hawke's Bay, you're on a domestic flight, I think it's illegal to blindfold someone and not tell them where they're going. Yeah. But once we landed there, then we were blindfolded.

We got in a helicopter for almost an hour, 45 maybe? No, we were in a car before the helicopter. Yeah. We were in a car for like 45 minutes. Then we got in a helicopter, flew around, then landed. And we were like, have we just landed in the exact same place we took off from? We didn't know. It was like 1 a.m.

No, it was like 12. Then they put us in a car again. And we were still blindfolded. We were in that car, I think, for between four to five hours. And we arrived at the house at 12.30 a.m. in the morning. And we had to do a show up at 4 a.m. that same morning. We were livid. You know what pissed me off as well, guys, is when the house was revealed,

it was on like a farm. They could have flown us all the way in that helicopter. Well, the crazy thing was we ended up being in Hamilton, which is, yes, for anyone who knows, about an hour 15 drive from Auckland. So we flew to Hawke's Bay, did the helicopter, another four. It was ridiculous. It was infuriating. And then we were stuck together.

It ended up being about, what, five and a half days. And it was a lot. Yeah, you start to lose your mind a little bit when you're in there. Like, I don't know if I can do another week or two in a house with Dan. These are just some of the moments that I've got our producers to pull of Dan playing up to the live stream. If Mike Hosking was here, he'd go something along the lines of, you're on Newstalk ZB, it's 27 past eight.

Today we're talking politics. Christopher Lux and the National Party, are they doing a good job? I say no. I knew I was going home. I was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off. Those who have seen your face. Phantom of the Opera. To be fair, I find them very entertaining.

I've had 17 husbands and I decided to give one more swing with Clint. And I tell you what, it ended me. I tried a few women. Well, now I just don't. Who's this bitch? I think that was me. That was me. I think I was that bitch.

That's what it got to. Clint and I made love. We weren't there for too long. That was very confusing for me, I must say. We ended up whipping each other with palm leaves and doing Truth or Dare. I genuinely enjoyed it, but I don't want to do it again. Yeah, like the time in the house, there were moments that definitely were a lot of fun.

The journey, the blindfolded journey for me just put me in such a bad mood before we even started. The thing is as well, we didn't do any exercise. I ended up putting on like 5kgs while I was in there just because I just wasn't moving. Me and Clint did exercise, Jan. But I didn't want to sit on a treadmill. And I went slightly bald. My hair fell out while I was there.

I think, Dan, I think that's probably more because you had a newborn. It could have been a mixture of both. I mean, I'm just saying. If anything, it was a holiday for you away from your wife and your newborn. Oh God, I hate it every second. Loved hanging out with you guys, though.

Someone will be taken. A show will be taken. I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks and your chance to win $10,000. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. It's Clint, Meg and Dan's. What you got? All right, what you got, team? We've got to put something on your radar for Tuesday, the 11th of March.

Dan's excited about this one. You're eating a goody. What is it? Well, a huge congratulations to Fiona Heenan, who is a New Zealand sailor. She's just set a new world record for the longest continuous journey in a laser dinghy. So they're like the little ones. I think that's when you get up to, you start an optimist, you know, when you're a sailor. It's the little small one where it's just one man, and then you go up to you know, when you're a sailor. It's the, like, little small one where you, it's just one man,

and then you go up to a laser, which is slightly faster. And she's managed a 600-kilometre journey in a laser dinghy. No shelter whatsoever. It took her 72 hours. New world record. So well done to Fiona Heenan. You want a good chapstick, eh? Yeah, you would.

Really good chapstick. That's a good call, Claire. That'd be a real good sponsor to get on board if she ever does it again. Yeah, SPF 50 sunscreen as well, you'd want, I'd imagine. How many days do you reckon you could go without your phone? It's a hard one. It's a very hard one. Do we mean, like, no phone

at all? Because what about, like, just calls and stuff with my husband and candy and stuff? I think it's now become a necessity to have a phone because, you know, you need to be ready for emergency calls. Yeah, but we didn't have home phones. We used to have home phones, right? Well, the study does say that participants were reduced phone use to essential tasks only.

So I guess if you need to make a phone call, fine, but not using your phone for anything other than maybe calling your partner to see who's on school pickup or whatever. But they've said, this's a German research study, three days without your phone can reset your brain. And it talks about how it says it's activation linked to neurotransmitter systems responsible for reward and impulse control. That would make sense. So if you're someone that's just like impulse buying and you feel better if you go and purchase stuff

and do online shopping and stuff, they reckon being without your phone for three days can get rid of all that. I'd love to. Really? I think I'd find it almost impossible just with the job we do because you're constantly having to Google things and find topical stuff that's happening in the world.

Dan's Google history. Yeah. Does your brain need a reset? I'd love to have a reset. I would love to be able to have an excuse to go, here's my phone, and maybe you give me back like a Nokia 3310 that's just got text and calls. I think I would like it too, but I think I'd struggle and stuff. I wonder when it starts getting easier because you're right,

the first day would be horrible. Second day, you're still like, I need my phone back. And then at some point, I think you'd move into this, oh, my God, actually, I'm pretty cool about it. I also think you'd really notice how much other people are on their phone if you don't have yours to play on. Would it be horrible? I don't think it would be.

I'd feel like it was a cleanse. Because I feel like I'm just having to be on my phone now because it's there. Well, what about, say, you're in a room and then everyone leaves and then you're waiting for them to come back. What do you do? You just got to sit in your own thoughts, Dan. Yeah. Because normally you just grab your phone.

You hate that. Maybe look around and hear things that are happening in the room. Look at, like, you'd be more open. It's a soundproof room. Why am I sitting in a soundproof room? It sounds like a prank. You're just in the studio. It's like when Meg and I ever leave to go to the bathroom or get a coffee,

you always leave because you can't be in here by yourself. Oh, yeah, no, I'd hate that. Yeah. I'd look at Meg's phone. Maybe something worth trying. Three days. They reckon it can absolutely reset your entire brain. Yeah. If you can go three days without your phone and only use it for essential tasks.

So good luck with that. Next on the show, very, very exciting. We are back with How You Like Dem Apples. Yeah, we've almost tested every apple, I think, in the country. But there's one that has eluded us. Yeah. I don't think that's quite how many apples we've been through. We have actually had a company that grows their own apples reach out to us.

They reached out probably about a month ago. They've been teasing us with this apple. Rocket. They back themselves so hard. But we have told them we'll be very honest. Yeah, we're not being paid to review these apples. They've just been gifted to us for free. The ones they've sent us apparently were on a tree a little over a week ago,

so they're fresh. Oh, no cold stores. All right. Well, they're those little sort of kids' lunchbox-sized ones, I think, which are always my favourite. Oh, they come in like a tennis ball container. Yeah. You know when you get a tennis ball, like a Pringles can.

Once you pop, you can't stop with these ones. Okay. Well, let's find out if they are New Zealand's greatest apple or not. We've got a really quick intro for it. Quick wouldn't be the word I'd describe it as. Okay. We are on a quest to try and find New Zealand's most delicious apple. And it's a journey.

Before we do, let's get into the intro. Yeah. You ready? Don't waste time, Clint. Just hit play. Ah, apples. The fruit of temptation. And temptation, the reason for the downfall of many.

Famously, Scar from The Lion King was tempted by power. Yeah, but what's that got to do with an apple? Well, if you just let me finish, I'm going to get to that point in a second. I'm just trying to build up to it. Augustus Gloom from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was tempted by chocolate. Yeah, again, but not fruit. Right, I get that, but I'm getting to the apple part, okay? If you just let me finish, come on.

Okay. And Snow White was tempted by a poisonous apple. See, now that one I get. Who is this f***ing guy? Who let him in here? Okay, I've been voicing these trailers for weeks, okay? And I've had nothing but great feedback, and now this f***ing guy comes in here, and he's annoying me.

He's questioning my script. He's questioning the way I'm voicing things. I'm sick of it. Sorry. Get out! Yes, the humble apple is said to be the most tempting of all the fruits. And that is why this crack team has set out to find the best one. He's good at tasting apples, but sucks at winning reality TV shows. His name. Clint Randall.

She's always got an appointment at 11am, even though she knows the show's work hours are 5am to midday. Her name. Oh, that's me, Meg. Sorry. Oh, didn't quite hear you there, Meggie. A little louder for those at the back, please.

Meg. And finally, he has enough talent to do a radio show on his own. But generously, he shares the spotlight with two others. His name... Dan Wibby. For the first time, we have been sent an apple for testing. But this segment can't be brought.

The judges must remain impartial. Unless... Next week we could do... How do you like them Ferraris? Or how about, how do you like them jet skis? Or, oh, I've always wanted a nice watch. What about, how do you like them Rolexes? Anyway, and now it's time for, Do You Like Them Apples? Apples.

Apples. Apples. Do you want me to do my own echo or can you do that yourself? Oh, he can do it himself. Bugger. All right. Here we go. God, that was long, wasn't it?

You've got to shorten those up. Here we go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It already is. We've got no time. Into the rocket. Here we go. Wait, you don't have the decibel reader even up to your mouth. Three, two, whoa. You already ate it. We've got no time. Into the rocket. Here we go. Wait, you don't have the decibel reader even up to your mouth.

Three, two, one. 81. 81. It's the highest decibel reading we've ever had for an apple. And the taste matches the crunch. The rocket apple. A lot smaller. I must say, that is a delicious apple.

Damn. I'm going to give that a nine out of ten. It's an eight. I think it's my highest. I'll give it a nine. Yeah. I think I just want more of it. I know it's meant to be miniature.

But it's done in three bites. They're small, but they've packed a lot of taste into a small little package. I love that. Now people are just listening to us eat apples. Which is why I think the boss wants us to can this bit. A lot of people have texted us saying, try the Braeburn. We haven't tried it yet.

All right, rock it. It's leading. That's definitely the best apple we've tried. Okay. Back again next week. Will it be? Hopefully. I think it will be.

Okay. I want it to be back. What time do you have to be out of here today? Oh, it's about Hopefully. I think it will be. Okay. I want it to be back. What time do you have to be out of here today? Oh, it's about 10.45. I need to be in my car by 11. Okay, good. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Our story is recirculating.

Actually, this came out a little while ago. Hermes. Hermes. It's a very fancy brand like Louis Vuitton. Yeah, I've heard of it. Yeah. The heir to it had planned to leave billions and billions of dollars, $11 billion to his gardener.

Unfortunately, there has been an update since then that his shares have all gone and they've miraculously disappeared. Oh, no. So since he said in the news outlets he's going to give all his money to his gardener, somehow it's gone amiss then. Because he was going to adopt. I mean, Nicholas the gardener is like 51, so he was going to adopt all his money to his gardener. Somehow it's gone a myth then. Because he was going to adopt. I mean, Nicholas the gardener is like 51, so he was going to adopt a 51-year-old

so that he could be his legal heir. Yeah, he found that, yeah, apparently there are so many, there are such tight laws about who you can give the money to so that people can't just go to court and say, he was senile, he gave it to his best mate. That he was like, okay, well, to get around it,

I'll adopt you so you are actually my legitimate child which means they can't take you to court and take you away once I do pass away so he was quite smart about it he was obviously very serious about it

but now it looks like that money somehow has gone Nick can be like well where did you last see it where did you leave it it's 11 billion

it's hard to lose this is such a lesson in befriending a rich old person with no family. If you can find someone, a lonely old woman, okay, that you know, don't bother about the poor ones, but the rich ones, friend them up. You know, just be really nice to them.

You must have a lot of friends when you're in your 90s and you're loaded and you're on your own. Do you know, sometimes I even think that maybe there's somebody out there that, you know, really loves our show a lot and every morning we cheer them up and then they win lotto. I have think that maybe there's somebody out there that, you know, really loves our show a lot. And every morning we cheer them up and then they win Lotto. I have had that fantasy. And they put us in their will and then die. No, no.

Then they just send us money. Just give it to Meg and I, though, the poor ones. Clint's got a pool and a Tesla. Yeah. Sorry. $11.7 billion. He is the world's 161st richest person with that much money. Isn't that crazy to think that how many?

And the gardener could just end up making the top 200 rich list. Yeah, yeah. I would love to know. Obviously, we want to talk about what you got in the will from anybody, good, bad. But if there is a story that you or somebody you know got money left to them or a fortune left to them or something, a house, and they weren't related, then give us a call.

0800 or text us 3343. Because has it ever happened? I think we all hope weirdly for it to happen. If you've got rich parents, then granted, eventually you're going to get what's coming to you, I imagine. But yeah, those people had no idea they were going to be left something. I want to try and get Lisa on who's text through saying, I don't want my name read. Oh, left something. I want to try and get Lisa on, who's text through saying, I don't want my name read out.

Oh, no, we're going to try and get her on, so don't read that text out, I think. Okay, I won't, but we'll try and get her on. I wonder if the voice disguised listener that we have on next is Lisa. No, she didn't want her name read out, Clint. Yeah, I know, Dad. We want to know what did you get left in the will, especially priority given to those who weren't left something

because they were related. They just befriended somebody and then unknowingly to you, they left you their fortune or something cool in their will and you had no idea it was coming to you. Yeah. Yeah, I was saying before that I wouldn't mind if somebody was listening to our show and they won the lotto and then wanted to share that with us.

Bevan actually did win lotto, Megotto Meg and has some great news for you. Morning, Bevan. You there, Bev? Yeah, mate, I'm here. Yeah, there he is. You won Lotto Meg. Congratulations. I did.

It was a couple of weeks ago now. So I actually won $21. Wow. I've done the maths on it. You know, I want to keep half of it. So you can won $21. Wowee! I've done the math on it. I want to keep half of it. So you can do about six of you. Let's go $1.75 each person. You're a good man,

Bevan. You're a generous man. We need more Bevans like you. We do need more Bevans. If it was only it was $21 million. Okay, we wanted to know if you knew anybody that had befriended somebody who was maybe older who ended up getting their fortune over their family. We're talking to Ruben.

Hey, Ruben, you know a girl that this happened to. Yeah, yeah. I don't really know the full in-depth story, but she was looked like just, you know, caregiving. And then when he passed away, unfortunately, she ended up with his mint-conditioned Skyline. Oh, bloody hell, R33. Was he driving the Skyline, this old fella?

Yeah, and now she's got the Skyline. Wow. Living a bogus dream, eh? So she must have gone, oh, my God, I love your car. Like, you've got such a nice car. And he'd be like, oh, aware that she was a fan and then was like, oh, I'll leave it to her. It'll be a nice surprise.

That's lovely. I mean, I would have been a caregiver for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Problem is, Ruben, you'd end up caregiving someone who would end up having like a New Zealand record for the longest time lived or something. Yeah, I mean, the Skyline's like, it's actually worth a bit of money.

Like, you can get like 20 grand for a Skyline, all the Skyline these days. Yeah. All right, what about Kim? What did you get left, Kim? Kimmy! Kim! Yep.

Yep. Sorry. Yep. Was it you who has left something in the will or someone you know? No, our next-door neighbour. Oh, yeah?

What did you get? A property worth $1 million. Oh, that's what we want. A property worth $1 million. That's what we want. A cliff top. A cliff top property worth a million bucks, how? Yep, they were the lawnmower man. Wow. So, yeah, and her family were pissed.

And so there was family still around, that's what I was going to ask, were they all dead, but no. Yeah, so she didn't have children, but the nieces and nephews all thought they were going to inherit it. Yes, of course. And they never visited her, never did anything for her, and the lawnmower man used to go shopping

for her and all of that, and then Christmas Day, you know, like we used to have her on our place for family for Christmas Day. Oh yeah, like we used to have her on our place for family for Christmas Day. Oh, you're putting your time in too, Kim. Good. Yeah, yeah. You're like, you want to get the badge?

Then, you know, the Lord My Man used to go over there with his family and that. And then she died and gave them the property. Now, be honest, Kim. Were you a little bit pissed off that you didn't get a little bit of the money? No, not at all. Oh, good. Not at all. I wonder, and very quickly, do you a little bit pissed off that you didn't get a little bit of the money? Not at all. I wonder, and very quickly, do you know if he felt any guilt? I feel like I would feel funny if all the family was like, that's not

fair. He was like, alright! Something about a cliff top property when the sun comes up, just put your mind at ease. At the end of the day, they were the ones that were family to her by helping her and doing stuff. They deserved it. You can hear the old bird, eh, you know, were family to her, you know, by helping her and doing stuff. They deserved it.

You can hear the old bird, eh, being like, no, they never visit me. Don't remember the last time I saw them come round here. Thanks, Kim. We've got one more. Shannon, you got left something in the will from your nana. Yeah. We thought we would, like, maybe get, I don't know, like, a little bit. But um no

There was only me and my brother as the grandkids He got um He got some coins And I got some cob corn holders Oh now I would have preferred the coins Now I tell you what The cob corn holders feel like they must have been Some sort of special heirloom

No one ever heard of them So we were just like I asked my mum and I was like like there must have been some sort of special heirloom? No one ever heard of them. So we were just like, I asked my mum and I was like, Definitely, no, there's even a little bit of rust on one of them. So they've just been sitting in her drawer for, I don't know. Hope you didn't tell the rest of the family. You don't want them getting jealous. I know.

That's what she said, yeah. She left that. She said to specifically don't tell your brother. He might get a little bit jealous. Yes. No, you got the coins. Nana's like, I tell your brother. He might get a little bit jealous. You're saying. No, you got the coins. Nana's like, I trolled the shit out of Sharon just the other day. They sort of died out at corn cob holders.

Then they realised you could probably just hold the corn on the corn. Just give it another 60 seconds to cool down. It'd be sweet. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Let's give away some cash this morning. With a share of $50,000. Cash. With the edge. Cash strapped.

Strapped. Give away $450 at 7 o'clock this morning. Let's see how we go right now. But a reminder, we're taking cash strapped to the streets on Friday, 8am. Harrison from Edge Afternoons is going to have two grand and a double pass at Jim Beam Homegrown strapped to himself. Kelburn Park in Wellington. Let's hope that he's not wearing jorts this time.

Yeah, jorts are not good to run in. No, yeah. Good footwear, good shorts. Chelsea is playing this morning. Hey, Chelsea. Morning, how are you? Morning. You're a student.

What are you studying? I'm currently a teacher, but I'm doing my Masters in Educational Leadership So you're going to be a Principal Oh wow What kind of Principal are you going to be? Hopefully just one that can support all students to be who they want to be

and just offer different pathways Yeah, that would be cool You're amazing You know what? Principals earn more than I thought they would in New Zealand. Do they? Because you know how teachers, they're very underpaid in New Zealand. You have to get Masters. But yeah, principals, I was Googling it the other day for some reason,

quite well paid, so good. Were you looking for another job again? Yes. He was just looking for another job. All right, Chelsea, just to help you out here, my boss is not giving, he hasn't been too generous this time around. He was more generous this morning. I've got $200 to give you.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Not bad. It would definitely help. I mean, my course fees are like $1,300, so it would give it a chip. Not amazing.

A little change out of it. Yeah. But I think I'm going to have to risk it and go for the bag. Like, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yeah, okay, all right. It's not a bag, though. It's a vest. Okay, you know what she meant.

Sorry, Dan's very sensitive about his vest. I just get sick of people calling it a bag because they're mistaking it for cash in the bag. I know that, but it's a vest. Chelsea, we've handed the $200 back to me. You've gone over to the vest. Dan, how much are you giving to Chelsea? Okay, Chelsea, I'm reaching into the vest. It's a vest. Chelsea, we've handed the $200 back to me. You've gone over to the vest. Dan, how much are you giving to Chelsea? Okay, Chelsea, I'm reaching into the vest.

A lot of zips. Okay. I keep it very tight, Clint. It's like you forget which zip you keep it in every time. I'm going to tell you this. There's a six in the figure. There's also a five. And one zero.

You've got $650. Oh, my God, thank you. Oh, that's amazing. That's about half of your piece. It is, it is. That is honestly so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much. You're welcome, darling.

That's all yours, and hopefully you do become that good principal. She does. I think she will. Yeah. All right, reminder, 8 a.m. on Friday in Wellington. Your chance to get a double pass to Jim Beam Homegrown and $2,000. We'll she will. Yeah. All right, reminder, 8am on Friday in Wellington. Your chance to get a double pass to Jim Beam Homegrown in 2000 bucks. We'll play again tomorrow morning at 7 and 8.

Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. Where are the easiest places to sit your driver's test if you are looking to sit yours? There's all the different regions and their pass and fail rates. Aucklanders have a better chance of winning a coin toss than passing the restrictors test. Really? So it's a 50-50? Yeah, 49.2%

pass rate. Wow. Damn. Do you think they're just really strict, like purposefully? I think there are definitely some smaller towns that would have an easier thing where it's just roundabouts and stuff. Yeah, Aucklanders are supposed to have a lot more traffic and you're jumping on a motorway very quickly and maybe they're getting them to do more.

You know, you'd always hear about going to those small little sleepy towns where you could just kind of cruise around for five minutes, produce a neeps. You were born in Southland, boy, aren't you? I'm from Invercargill, and there was this one notorious driving teacher from Invercargill, so everyone would just drive to Gore and set their test there so they didn't have to deal with this one instructor. I did that. I ended up, my last time that I set my restricted, I drove out

20 minutes to go to a different spot. Really? Just to avoid the certain person. Selden has a 66.4% pass rate. The highest pass rate in the country is actually Taranaki. Over 70% of people pass first time in Taranaki.

Followed closely by Gisborne. I believe, as far as I know, don't have any traffic lights, so I don't know if that's helpful or not. Just go for a drive around a straight road down there. I think I'd back myself. Here's the thing. I'd back myself to do the test, the actual test, the practical test.

But the written, ooh, I don't know about that. The written one, because there's, ooh, I don't know about that. Oh, yeah, that's tough. The written one, because there's certain road rules I'm kind of, I always question myself, like if I'm coming up to an intersection and there's someone coming towards me, who do I give, do I give way to the right? I could do it if I'm re, if I re-study. I don't know, I'd like to think

that I could bat myself on that. I'd like to think I'd bat myself on both. I've been driving since I was 17. Well, you don't want to do it, and you grew up near Wellington, eh, Meg? Uh, yeah, yeah, in Lower Hartlow. So did you do your tests around I was 17. Well, you don't want to do it, and you grew up near Wellington, eh, Meg? Yeah, yeah, in Lower Hartford. So did you do your tests around there? Yep. Okay, because they're the third most difficult place to get your test in Wellington.

It's been a real rough week for them. They're also number one for STIs yesterday. That's why I drove out to Pondidua to do my test. Right. Yeah. Okay, so, I'm sorry, Producer Carl here, do you guys reckon you can actually put your money where your mouth is on this? Depends what we're putting in our mouth, but yes guys reckon you can actually put your money where your mouth is?

Depends what we're putting in our mouth, but yes. I'm going to put all sorts in your mouth, but if you think you can do your driving test and actually pass, I'll arrange it. I'll get an instructor tomorrow and I'll get someone to actually test you. I reckon he would be blown away. I reckon I'd get a perfect score. No, but you drive an electric car, like you drive a Tesla,

which pretty much drives itself. But these two muckers here, and if that's in a, what do you drive, Dan? A Kia or something? Yeah, it's a Kia. Are we driving in our own cars? Because I've got wires and everything all through mine because I'm changing the radio. It looks stolen. You can sit it in my Kia. Well, do you know what

though, Carl? That's interesting because I think I'm a perfectly fine driver. I think as soon as somebody's sitting in this chair judging me, like sitting next to me, I'm going to get nervous and suddenly do things I don't normally do. What about on the written? We'd have to do a written exam? Yeah.

I mean, everyone knows I'm not very good at exams. Yeah, but you should be able to pass a written. Yeah, totally. Yeah, if you've been driving on the road, abiding by those rules for the last, like, 10, 15 years. Let's do it. I think the producers do it as well. And we find out who on the show is the worst driver.

Fine. If the producers are also included, sure. Because we did the NCEA exams last year. Is Bella going to be in it? Yeah, she will be. Okay, I'm doing it then. Just because she lost the IQ test. Just because she's dumb doesn't mean she's a bad driver.

Sorry, Bella. Okay, Meg, though, has been quite quiet about how many times she failed hers. Well, okay, well, I failed. I got it on my fourth. I got it on my fourth go. Fourth go! But it's because the first time I turned up on the wrong day, the second time my warrant was out, so they wouldn't let me do it,

and then the third time I did actually fail. But then I went to Potty Door and I passed. Oh, it's looking good for you, Bella. Yeah. Can anyone do better or actually worse than that? Can anyone beat Meg's record? Did you have to sit your driver's test more than four times? There must be someone out there, eh,

that's had to sit it like 17 times. How many times have you failed? Okay, the high water mark right now is Meg at four. Can anyone beat that? I'll be shocked if there's more. Yeah, because do you pay every time? I think the rules changed. I think you get to re-sit now for free.

Back in the day, you paid again, again, again. It should be one free re-sit, I reckon. Yeah, let us know. We're just talking about the easiest places to sit your driver's test if you're wanting to pass. It turns out the easiest place to sit it is, well, actually, maybe it's not the easiest. Maybe they're just the best drivers.

Taranaki has a 70% pass rate. Hawke's Bay, 68. And just below that, Southland makes the top three with 66. Auckland, the hardest place to get a pass. Sarah has texted saying, it was actually unlimited free resits, but this has changed back to paying for them because there are people who have failed 15 plus times. I think it needs to be stricter.

I think New Zealand's road testing needs to be way stricter than it is because the amount of shocking drivers on the road, Jesus. I was parked at an off-ramp yesterday of the motorway and a person in a Toyota turned in to the on-ramp

so they were trying to get onto the motorway on the off-ramp. They're going, that's the wrong way. I do think it's very bizarre that we sit at once when we're like 15, 16, 17 and that's us down until we're like 80 or 90. I agree. And even when you travel overseas,

say me and my husband traveling to Europe, we can just get a car and drive and that freaks me out. Anybody from a different country can just go and drive wherever they want when they don't know the rules over there. The only test you really have to do when your license expires is the eye test, and they just give you another one.

And you're right, when you go to Raro, they just get you on a moped, and I remember I just had to drive down, round the tree, and back, and if you didn't fall off, you got your license. To be fair, Raro's pretty small, though. Okay, let's go to Jima. Jima, how many times did you fail your licence? Was it just the one time? It was.

Okay, and what happened? How did you fail? I backed into a litter box. That'll do it. That'll do it. No reversing camera. Yeah, that would do it. I don't think you need a reversing camera to see a litter box.

No. It was on Taranaki as well. Do they instantly fail you as soon as you sort of backed into it? Were they like, that's a fail, sorry, did they wait to tell you that at the end? Yeah, he even got out to make sure I didn't do it. Yeah, that's nice. I overheard my instructor who failed me on my third time

say to my mum, that was the worst parallel parking I've ever experienced ah you've got a record ever experienced and to the point that I still didn't get in the park and he ended up

just saying let's just go so I've never got in the park I'm just going to be honest your daughter is the worst driver I've ever seen which glass half full

you were the best at being the worst oh I thought we were going to say you're the best now hold on a second oh no no I've been with her

over there she's definitely not I love Shondell's decks. My brother's set is restricted six times and my dad is 50 and still on his restricted. Oh, wow.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Yeah. Do you think that's just because he hasn't bothered, though? He's just, he failed at once.

Hopefully. Kristen, how many times have you failed your restricted driver's test? So, I have failed it seven times and I've only just gotten, I've only just it seven times and I've only just gotten I've only just gotten into the

I've only just gotten into the time limit of being able to sit my full. You know what? Kristen, I love you and you're one of my favourite listeners but you shouldn't be on the road. Yeah, I don't like driving.

You know what? If you've failed seven times that's a sign. You shouldn't be behind the wheel. What was the worst thing you did that got one of the seven fails? Were you like, that's a sign. You shouldn't be behind the wheel. What was the worst thing you did that got one of the seven fails? Were you like, that was a bad one? So majority of them were I wasn't driving my car.

Doesn't matter. You're slowly losing your favouritism, Dan. Oh, so funny, I know. But I curbed the car. Oh, so alarming, I know. But I curb the car. Oh, curbing. That's already annoying enough. You're like, well, your rims are buggered and you've got scent packing.

Well, if you are in Canterbury, Kristen is bringing your average down, 57.8% pass rate. And one more. Let's go to Jared, your instructor back home in SA. South. And one more. Let's go, Jared. You were instructed back home in S-A. South Africa? San Francisco.

San Francisco. San Francisco. S-A. Jesus. What does the A stand for in San Francisco? Sa. Okay. The S-A before the N.

After this driving test, we need to get Meg an IQ test. Oh, please don't. Oh, please don't. Oh, please don't. I'm sorry, Jessica. I'm sorry, Jared. Jared, in South Africa, you were an instructor. Yes. Yes, I was.

So I had this young girl come through to me after she had failed 11 times prior. And I was hesitant, but I thought, no, there's got to be something she's doing extremely wrong. And it turned out, in the beginning of a test test you've got a walk around and check your vehicle and you know the tires are good the wipers are good and all this jazz and and then you jump in the car and the instructor tells you to put the right indicator on but she would put the left one on and put the right one at the wrong time and just like lose all confidence before you even get into the parking And I honestly believe that the instructor was just tired of seeing her and passed her to get them out of her head.

I get it. She's one of those people that are just bad at tests, and the nerves eat her up. And so now she's still in San Francisco or wherever it was. She wasn't a bad driver. She just had bad habits, obviously, driving before she had lessons. But, yeah, she spent thousands of rands trying to get this thing. Yeah, well, Mick worries she's going to fail because she's going to be nervous.

Yes, 100%. Because someone's judging you. I'm like, Mick, when we get in the car with you, we're judging you every time as well. I know, but I don't care about your lives. Yeah. You just don't want to be the worst driver on the show. I get that.

Okay, but we are going to do a driver's test, producers included, producer Carl, to find out who actually could still pass. Yeah, okay, I'm going to tee it up. After the show today, we're going to do a theory, and then tomorrow I'm going to organise practicals for you guys. Yeah, okay, I feel we should be able to do both. I'll be surprised if anybody is failing on the show.

Don't look at me when you're saying it. You're staring right at me. How fast are you allowed to go when towing a trailer, Meg? When towing a trailer, 70. Five, 80. You've got to lock it in to me. You're right somewhere. 80.

And what does SA stand for? I'll go for it. You might want to study up. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge. And it's time for a little apple relish. We're going to write a bunch of things on the wheel. Our producers already have it. Meg's going to spin it.

Whatever it lands on, you must then open your phone and share with the class. All right. Let's start with Maggie Mufis. You are nervous. Yeah, I was going to say. Here she goes. She's done a spin. Spinning.

And the thing that I won't need, I hope it'll be much, bank balance. Bank balance. Okay. Now it's been over a week since payday. So is this her savings? What would you like to know?

Would you like to know my bills account, my Christmas savings, date night account? Can we hear more than one? Can I hear Christmas savings? Yeah, I want to know how much money we've got saved away. I've got $0 for Christmas. Brilliant. Sorry.

Date night, I've got $5.63. Oh, God. Jeez, that's a rough day, that one. And my bills, I've got $500.34. It's a good week for me. You need to transfer some of that over to the Christmas account. And that's it. I've got a savings account for the second baby.

How much is in that? $3,000. Oh, that's not bad. Cool. That's not bad, Rich. We don't get any income with maternity leave, apart from just the government pay here. So I don't get paid a single cent from work when I'm off with maternity leave apart from just the government pay here. So I don't get paid

a single cent from work when I'm off for maternity leave. And my husband doesn't have a job. So it's a little stressful. That's about $1,000 a month. $3,000. That's 600 date months for you. Hey, not bad, not bad.

Okay, next up, next up. Let's go to Dan's. Dan, yours is, if you could pass me your phone or unless you want to do it yourself, newest app download. Mine was Pizza do it yourself. Newest app download. Mine was Pizza Hut this morning. Newest app.

Oh, I downloaded it since I've started my... Wait, why? You don't even have pizza this morning. I know, but... Why? My brother-in-law and my husband do this thing for their birthday every year where they deliver each other pizza for their birthday and so I just did it this morning for him.

Oh, right. Oh, good on you. Right, your app is called? It's Philips Shave. So I downloaded the shaving app. It's by Philips, and it helps you with shaving techniques because I've got a moustache.

Because you've got your fancy new thing, don't you? Do you? Okey-doke, okey-doke. Just now I'm in there. Hold on a sec. Oh, Clint, you might be in luck. We might have to sit on this one

for a wee while. Oh, good, good, good. When they say fast games, it's a good game. Not in this game. No, there is a folder that Dan has tried out. Sorry, wait a second. Dan has tried out different types of facial hair. Oh, yeah, there's a camera within it, and it, like,

Oh, look at you, he's got a full, like, goatee. You look like you're about 50 there. Yeah, so it like, it'll augment different types of moustache onto your face to see what you'd look like. What is that face you've got? I'm just so serious. That one looks like you own about three different like garages, like you're a mechanic except you're dodgy

and you're handing out warrants that you shouldn't be. All right, okay. That's good. And Clint, this is your one. Here we go. I'm sorry, my friend. That's embarrassing. Yours is Lenny on.

Last thing EFTPOS that you have for ordinary EFTPOS card. Okay. Last purchase was $70. $70, what did you buy? Is that the game? Yes. The last thing you purchased. I didn't say the price. $70 on. A you buy? Is that the game? Yes The last thing you purchase I didn't say the price

$70 on A massage A massage? A massage Oh, what kind of massage? Just a normal massage He's being very coy about it It's very cheap

It's a cheap massage I've got a pulled shoulder So I just wanted to treat myself yesterday Don't be so coy about it My wife's the thing She didn't know I went and got myself a Howers massage You went and got myself an hours massage. You went and got yourself an hours massage?

You didn't tell your wife? Why do I need to tell her everything? That makes me think it was not that type of massage. Did you book her in a massage? I bet she's got sore shoulders. Were you happy at the end of the massage? Very relaxed. No, I was just,

I was just fine. Okay, relaxed. Yes. No, not that relaxed. No. You felt like you'd taken the load off. You wouldn't have got a sneaky massage

without your wife knowing. I feel like that's... Why is that bad? That's $70. That's a lot of money. For an hour massage, I thought it was pretty good. No, behind you, the back of your partner. That's all. Wow's $70. That's a lot of money. For an hour message. I thought it was pretty good. No, behind the back of your partner.

That's all. Wow. All right. Why would you be angry if your husband went and got a message today? If my husband went and spent $70 and got a message and didn't say anything and I went into our bank account and I said, hold on a sec. To be fair though. You got a message for $70 at Happy Hands.

Yeah. Happy Hands. Oh, God. Is that where Clint went? Well, I'm at work. Oh, Happy Hands. Happy Hands. Oh God, is that where Clint went? Well, I'm at work. Oh, Happy Hands. Clint, Meg and Dan on the edge.
