The Edge Breakfast

We’re diving into absolute chaos after a listener mail question about our work hours sent us down a wild rabbit hole! From mouse pads and hotel curtains to Dan’s outrageous confession about a self-inflicted direct hit to his own face, we completely lost it. You're not ready for this!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday with Warriors banter, Meg’s headphone mishap and a chaotic craft “haul” interrupted by her kid. They plug the Overthinkers podcast and replay a wildly inappropriate Would You Rather involving Dan calling his mum. The show covers Charlie Puth on opening up in music, chats with a tow-truck driver about towing rules and dating apps, and Dan’s looming security meeting after clicking “copy files” while booking a spray tan. They discuss accidental Instagram likes, play Easy Money twice, share outrageous real-life names, recap weekend stories (Bigfoot sightings, Lotto winners, Twirl vs Flake), and Meg speaks candidly about eating disorders and Ariana Grande imagery. They also debate whether mum or partner gets the front seat and start writing a Gisborne “Postcode Playlist” song.

We ended up in absolute shambles after night-show host Lucy dropped by the studio and left behind the most stomach-churning "gift" on Meg’s desk. Things spiraled out of control so fast that we ended up calling Dan’s mum live on air for a deeply uncomfortable "Would You Rather" scenario, and let’s just say her answer left all of us completely speechless. You are not ready for how gross and absurd this gets.

Friday chaos with Clint, Meg and Dan: Dan celebrates a week off “obvious” sugar, they field an early caller confused about an R&V ticket giveaway date, and Meg finds old diaries full of cat-drawing practice while packing to sell her house. The team chats an 82–12 Roosters thrashing, a stat showing NZ leads in women in their late 40s never marrying, and Ben Affleck winning $1M for charity on Millionaire. They play Easy Money, vent “Things We Hate,” and reveal Dan’s Google history. Plus, they create competing alarm sounds (Karen “20 whacks,” a Morgan Freeman-style pep talk, and Clint’s chaotic entry), then debate Kmart’s $89 recording glasses and why receipts get scanned.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday talking about not wishing life away and being present with kids, then hunt for New Zealand’s best wake-up sound with the Jurassic Park theme as a frontrunner. They share an Overthinkers clip about a woman finding her dad and discovering his explicit SoundCloud, before discussing allegations against Jared Leto. The first call comes from Amy in Queenstown, a new drug-testing worker. Meg panics over a mysterious computer mouse package that turns out to be her mum’s lost Airbnb item. The team covers banana disease, a Fiji shark attack survivor’s advice, and sprinter Zoe Hobbs’ Commonwealth gold, then play Easy Money with callers. Dan triggers a workplace security alert while booking a spray tan, leading into “glow up to blow up” beauty disasters, and they debate a controversial post-date voicemail demanding sex, plus stories about crying to get out of trouble.

We almost had to shut down the entire podcast today after Dan tried showing us his spray tan lines and gave the camera way more than anyone asked for. Between his developing fake tan, heated debates over electric mountain bikes, and previewing our unhinged new alarm sounds, things got out of hand fast. You’re definitely going to want to hear this one!

Meg found a video of a girl who tracked down her dad, only to find his SoundCloud loaded with tracks about taking off panties. Naturally, we spent ten minutes spitting our own wild sex-rap rhymes live on air. Plus, we broke down the absolute chaos of boys' weekends versus girls' trips. Trust us, you’re not ready for this.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Wednesday with Dan’s infamous hula-hoop “thrusting” training, a pact to stop doing open-mouth promo shots, and Meg’s fake-tan rebooking after realizing she wore tatty undies. They take calls on the nationwide cold snap (frozen pipes, refreezing windscreens) and play Easy Money for $1,000. Hazel Houland joins after winning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. The team swaps “how did I get here?” stories, including a Vanuatu cruise mishap and a Vegas dice incident, then debates pretty privilege after a viral Usher stage moment.

We thought we were interviewing the All Blacks today, but instead, we ended up reading a listener email from Graham that called Clint completely replaceable. To make up for it, Clint made us tape numbers to our foreheads for a game that spiraled way too fast into Dan asking about Clint’s ass, Meg rating her own looks, and Clint trying to justify drinking 79 beers in December. You're not ready for how out of hand this gets.

Clint, Meg and Dan reunite with the full team (minus Bella in Europe), swap stories about Dan’s less-than-supportive “vomit etiquette,” decode listener Paul’s emoji texts, and debate the weird appeal of Costco hauls, including massive grapes and bulk-buy storage problems. They celebrate swimmer Hazel Hourigan’s Commonwealth Games bronze and discuss butterfly stroke, then run Scandal headlines about Nathan Fillion’s Jason Bateman autograph prank and a teased Selena/Becky collaboration. A first-time caller from Timaru chats, followed by a cautionary tale about a family losing linked Google accounts after a teen’s explicit Gemini Live incident, sparking talk of two-factor authentication. They play Easy Money twice, interview a 12-year-old who mimics bird calls (including a tui), share mums’ bragging habits, cover a Dunedin concert halted by a feces biohazard, and finish with an A-Lister List ranking child stars.
