The Edge Breakfast - MUNDANE MEET-CUTES - Dan's Bromantic Fiction: Kebabs... or tacos...?

Episode Date: February 9, 2026

This is a podcast from Rover. Time for a bit of romantic fiction in the lead up to Valentine's Day, which is this Saturday. We gave you the opportunity to hit us with your Monday Meat Cute story, which, you know, cool. Everyone gets together in different ways, but when people ask, how did you and your partner end up together? The story's just kind of meh.

Yeah. And so Dan has taken a bit of creative license with Sophie's Meat Cute story that her and Chris had about meeting in a kebab store. Hey, so if you're about to hear it for the first time, but I wanted to quickly recap, everybody listening, your story, which was you went to town, then you ended up at a kebab shop some point in the night,

you got a cab, you started talking to Chris, you exchanged social medias, and then a few weeks later, you talk to each other, right? That's about it. Yeah, I wish it was a bit more exciting. Oh, so do we. Oh, boy. Hey, don't worry about it, because Dan's job today is to make it that much more exciting.

So you have a listen to the story that Dan has cooked up, and then we'll get your thoughts off the back of that. Can I just say before Meg starts, very hard to make a kebab, meet cute, sexy. That's all I'm going to say. Well, yeah. I do think the story proves that. Okay.

The jams. Enough. I told my staff as my thighs began to burn. I've been dropping it low all night and my body couldn't take anymore. There's nothing here for me. I told myself as I grooved my way to the door, my body knowing, sorry, my body moving in time to Nelly hot in here. I could tell every set of eyes were fixed on the junk in my trunk as I left.

You got a bit of a caboose soph? You got a good butt? Okay, we'll move on. Sorry, I took artistic merit there, sorry. I've never seen you bit. But I wasn't interested. I was gagging for a kebab and nobody was going to get in my way. Or so I thought.

That's until I saw the man I knew I was going to marry. He was... Can I quickly stop? Dan, have you seen a photo of Chris? No, I've never seen him in my life. Clearly, clearly not. Clearly not. Here we go. Yeah, yeah.

He was strikingly handsome and classy, but with a hint of gangster. Bad boy. Think Prince Harry mixed with Jason Statham and a hint of us shit. Now imagine that. Is that not the most attractive man you've ever seen? I'm trying to put it together. That's one hell of a mix. A puzzle that doesn't quite.

Right, fixed, okay. He was effortlessly sitting on a road cone. Oh, Dad. There's... Dad. He's having a little fun time. He's sitting on a road cone. No, you know how you sit on.

It's not a sitting spot, but he's sort of sitting on it like... I think she interrupted him. If he's sitting on a road cone. No. Sort of sitting there. That would be, honestly, such an ick if I saw a man sitting on a road cone, personally. But... Sorry, this is Sophie's story.

He was effortlessly. He's effortlessly sitting on a road cone. Eadier kebab. As I moved closer, I could tell it was my usual order. Lamb with Mayo and Saziki. He clearly had good taste. Any chance you want to share that kebab? I yelled

playfully as I undid the button on my blouse to reveal my breasts. She's in the street, Dad. She's like, oh, Sophie, don't laugh. This is your story, okay, man. It's outside of the feet. I should have said part of them. She's not getting her full boobies out. Just like a bit of cleave. It's just a cab.

Right. Without flinching, he jumped down off the road cone and slowly sauteed towards me. Saunted. Sortaid is what it says. Okay, that's in real correctness. Within seconds, we were face to face. Oh my.

So intense. You know what to help sexiness? You go, oh my God. So she was walking like a crab, like so that she was like shoulder to shoulder. And then at one point she finally, within seconds turned around so she could face it. Okay. You can have the rest. He whispered in my ear, making me Google.

As long as you eat it in the Uber back to my plate. plays. Oh, I thought that was quite a nice line. Smooth line, I thought, is I giggle. But what if you get hungry later? I retorted. Oh, you can see where this is going. Sophie, I'm sorry.

He looked at the floor and then bit his lip and looked back up at me. That's hot. Deep into my soul. No, it is. It's so hot. Sophie, can you imagine a man looking down at the ground and then taking his time to look back up at you, biting his lip? It's disgusting. Remember, he looks like usher.

And Jason Statham combined. And Prince Harry. And Prince Harry. That's a three-person mix. Don't worry, he said with an knowing wink, I have a feeling, if I'm playing my cards right, I might have a midnight helping of taco.

That ain't mundane anymore. Yeah. What do you think so? A bit of artistic license, Dan, leveled up the lust. What do you think of your new meat-cude story? That was, it was a lot. It's hot. Yeah.

Wow. That's kind of a bit lost. Word. All right, Clint, that means you've got an opportunity here. I've got 24 hours to ride something better, and we'll Meg will read it to you same time tomorrow. And you can let us know who did it better. I mean...

Can't wait. Oh my God, she's speechless. I think she can. I think it's better than her original. Let's be honest. It was just meeting in a kebab shop. Yeah, I'll give you that, actually. Thanks, Clint.

I won't give him that. It's awful. The road cone stuff was a bit of a low point now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's creepy. Why is he sitting on top of it? It's so last.
