The Edge Breakfast

We are exposing our deepest secrets today, including a forbidden, highly classified workplace romance that genuinely almost started World War 4 with our rival station. We are talking secret movie dates, undercover car park meetups, and the exact moment a single photo blew our entire cover. Trust us, you are not ready for this chaos.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off July 1 with banter, tease Friday’s “every caller wins GTA VI,” and play games about Lego set piece counts and whether wild headlines are real or GTA-style. They give away movie passes, talk Hook the Musical merch (and Guy’s impromptu garage sale), and hand out “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash to listeners for a Scout Jamboree and a surprise experience for a dad. Meg confesses she prank-changed Clint’s email signature to include “model,” callers share extreme “psycho” revenge stories, and they swap school camp core memories and relationship “alpha” debates.

We brought OVERTHINKERS live to the stage for an epic pre-show celebration of Dan's childhood masterpiece, HOOK, The Musical. What started as a hunt through Dan's mum Julie's attic turned into exposing his cringey diary which is 20 years old. We also do one of our most famous or infamous podcast segments live, this is one you don't want to miss!

Clint, Meg, and Dan recap the live performance of “Hook: The Musical,” a script Dan wrote at 15, including minor onstage slip-ups, audience reactions, and the ad-libbed moment where Meg (as Smee) and Dan (as Hook) kissed. They revisit a pre-show live podcast where Clint performed “Guess the Fart,” discuss behind-the-scenes praise for producer Kyle and tech producer Brady, and take calls from attendees reviewing the show. The team shares pop culture updates, does Meg’s ongoing rap practice, debates the A-list status of Robin Williams, Serena Williams, and Pharrell Williams, and gives away $275 to cover a school camp cost. Dan also admits he was fined for texting Ash London while stopped at lights. They announce that on Friday every caller who gets on air will win a GTA VI pre-order.

We back! Absolute apologies for Friday's massive audio disaster—turns out we played "Guess the Fart" entirely to ourselves while you heard nothing, which is deeply embarrassing. Today, we are exposing Dan’s secret bad-boy weekend lifestyle, debating who the real office "dead weight" is, and trying to guess each other's weights. It gets chaotic fast.

Clint, Meg and Dan gear up for the sold-out debut of Hooked: The Musical at 7pm, joking about an all-day rehearsal, costumes, and a dreaded on-stage kiss. They recap how Dan’s teenage script was rediscovered and turned into a show, debate Clint’s “funniness” rating, and run Weather Watch plus a theater-themed quiz. Meg’s reluctant freestyle rap returns, Dan shares a wild lads’ weekend, and the team discusses tech mishaps. They audition narrators and pick Richie, then make “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, gifting cash for a portable dishwasher and a child’s mattress, and give away the final double pass with venue host Sarah.

We didn’t think this episode would devolve into Clint demonstrating a "sneaky" game he plays with his wife, but here we are. Meg is completely traumatized, Dan is stressing over the logistics of a three-way, and a primary school math quiz leaves us all spiraling. You’re not ready for this chaos.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with jokes, Freestyle Friday rapping that goes off the rails, and calls including Russell discussing a complicated relationship. They talk about artists playing new music live, then Naughty 6:40 turns to a study claiming 15% of young adults have had serious relationships with AI chatbots. They give away Take the Edge Off My Life cash, debate Meg’s falling-apart phone, and share listener workarounds for broken items. With Hook the Musical (written by Dan at 15) approaching, Meg’s husband Guy reveals boot-sale-style merch plans. A surprise wheel spin forces Dan to perform a Hook monologue and song live to the office crowd, drawing mixed reactions and listener support.

We have officially spiraled. In this episode, Dan gets completely called out for a sneaky financial move against his own wife, while Clint considers completely cutting off his charity donations out of pure spite. Plus, we test our sanity with a chaotic impromptu speech generator that results in a massive argument about an imaginary "orphan bus." You are genuinely not ready for how fast this chat falls apart—hit play and join the madness!

Meg and Dan riff on moving to Christchurch as a commune, then try the viral Kiwi snack Perky Nana and argue over a listener-voted top five chocolate bars. Meg attempts an unprepared freestyle rap and the team decides to make it a daily segment, sparking a flood of rap-name texts. With Hook: The Musical four days away, they share rehearsal stress, merch plans and Meg’s awkward attempt to invite Dan’s former drama teacher. They also chat long-distance love, workplace MVPs like Larry the Downing Street cat, a pig predicting World Cup matches, and a “10 but…” dating flaws segment.
