The Edge Breakfast

We are completely spiralling this episode after going head-to-head over our actual reading ages, and it turns out Dan is basically operating with the brain of a 14-year-old boy. He blames his childhood ADHD, but we think he just needs to go back to school. You are not ready for how quickly this studio debate turns into absolute chaos, so come see if you can read better than us!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter about Clint’s negativity, then Meg shares a kindy pickup story where her daughter Daisy jokes “Mum, leave him” after hearing Guy call her away from a friendly sheep. They talk unromantic proposals, play a chocolate-bar popularity quiz, and get called out for looking bored during Meg’s postpartum sleep story. The show covers missed “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, workplace theft confessions, and how listeners caught cheaters. They debate shows they’re late to (Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Outrageous Fortune, Yellowstone), joke about backwards caps as “kryptonite,” and hear about Kindness Collective accidentally distributing Vagisil as moisturizer, plus other workplace blunders.

Clint, Meg, and Dan react to New Zealand’s first football World Cup loss since 1982 (blowing a 1–0 lead to lose 3–1) and look ahead to the next match. Dan shares a new half-marathon sponsorship with a chafing-cream brand and the awkward mid-race reapplication. They discuss UK politics and a game comparing world leaders’ time in power, then run movie trailer updates for Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and Taika Waititi’s Clara. The show plugs a Warehouse $2,000 trolley grab, chats Love Actually vs Jackass, and gets “naughty” about Clint’s wife smelling his farts after nasal surgery. They cover cheating caught via home cameras, debate A/B/C-listers, celebrate “super grandparents,” and use a listener’s pig Spencer to predict France vs Iran

We just rehearsed what would happen if one of us died, and honestly, the loyalty is gone... Dan straight up admitted he’d be back on air by Monday just to pay his bills, while Clint absolutely lost his mind crying over a hypothetical hedgehog accident in a Toyota Vitz. You're not ready for how fast this spiraled into absolute chaos.

We are officially in full rehearsal mode for the musical, and things are already completely off the rails. While Dan was away trying to record his backing tracks, we sent Carl into the recording studio to spy on him, and let’s just say his high-register vocals are something you truly have to hear to believe. Between pranking Dan’s tracks and exposing Meg for being a bit too gassy in her own sessions, we are spiralling fast.

Clint, Meg and Dan count down one week until their one-night “Hooked” musical, stressing about missing rehearsal time, mics and costumes, while taking calls from excited ticket holders. They play HBO Max trivia, cover Kristen Wiig’s $6.2m ‘treehouse’ listing and Lizzo’s album sales, and give away Jackass tickets. Listener stories range from magpie, goat and pig attacks to shark-attack stats. Meg shares postpartum reflections on having a non-sleeper then a sleeper baby. They react to Olivia Rodrigo saying fans wear nappies to keep front-row spots, discuss rekindling relationships after decades, and ask how badly people have lied on CVs, including a pilot with a fake license.

We are officially losing our minds this Friday. You are not ready for the sheer chaos of Dan admitting he once spent a four-hour dinner party pretending to be a blind man using a cattle prod as a cane just to win a bet. It gets weirder, it gets smellier, and we completely spiral.

Clint, Meg, and Dan kick off an unplanned Friday show while racing toward opening night of “Hook the Musical,” recording new tracks, going off-book on lines, and worrying about Bella’s prep. They chat about darts at Auckland’s Viaduct and a flight attendant’s heavily discounted travel perks, debate whether perks affect friendships, and share Scandal highlights including praise for Ariana Grande’s live vocals and Niall Horan’s Live Lounge cover. A caller road-tripping to Dannevirke spills small-town drama, then the team react to a viral “drunk husband gave his number” apology using AI Winnie the Pooh. Marco gives away 50 free coffees in Christchurch, they cover weekend sport, roast “ex as a store” jokes, discuss “dopamine shopping,” and attempt “Cart Busters” to pay for listeners’ online carts—until the call goes wrong.

I am in absolute shock that we just attempted to run a full theater rehearsal live on the podcast. Dan wrote a musical when he was 15 called Hook: The Musical, and we are performing it to a real, paying audience in a week and a half. We haven't practiced once.

Clint, Meg and Dan banter through a rough-sleep week, parenting stories (a toddler calling a pharmacist “old” and a dad learning his son’s Battleships tells), and a “more or less” game comparing the cheapest Briscoes appliances. They cover celebrity headlines about Olivia Wilde, chat with listeners about owning irons, and use Meg’s mum as a FIFA World Cup “oracle” after correctly picking Argentina. The team interviews Paul Hapman after his bull sells for a record $168,000 and discusses breeding value and semen collection. They debate a proposed New Zealand social media ban for under-16s, share workplace email-hijacking pranks, give $300 to a listener for flights to her brother’s wedding, and preview Hook: The Musical, including Dan’s pirate rap parody and Meg’s Charlie Puth interview highlights.
