The Edge Breakfast

We are completely spiralling after today's show, and honestly, you are not ready for where this conversation went. What started as a casual chat about the Disney movie Cars somehow devolved into Dan's naked escapades on a Portuguese nude beach and Clint's apparently "pendulum-like" situation. Yes, Meg actually brought our children's lives into it to prove a point about Clint's anatomy, and now we can never look at him the same way again.

Plus, we are officially nominated for a Radio Award, but Dan might have completely ruined our chances of winning before we even step foot on the red carpet. We even rehearsed our acceptance speech, and let’s just say it gets incredibly messy fast. Grab your headphones, because this one is pure, unadulterated chaos from start to finish.

Clint, Meg and Dan  celebrate The Edge rating #1 in Christchurch, and take a hilarious first call from Dave the truckie, who claims he can suck air into his bum and fart it back out maybe even inflate a balloon. They discuss Jeff Bezos’ tax comments, run New Music Friday, and give away $200 petrol to a Hamilton listener. New producer Brady debuts Producer Diaries, Ollie Sail previews Auckland FC’s grand final, and Dan’s final diary entry is read. The team tease a big mystery find from Dan’s mum’s attic for Monday, help a listener win Westlife tickets for her mum with stage three breast cancer, and award a $500 Woolworths voucher for an awkward “meditation” mix-up.

Hit the spot will be up exclusively on rova, we are getting hit with some crazy copyright at the moment so you will be able to find it there.

We completely lost our minds this morning over a wild hypothetical game called 'The Memory Trade'. Imagine being offered the chance to instantly become world-class at absolutely any skill you want—but the catch is you have to completely erase one whole year of your past memories. Wait until you hear the year Dan chose to throw away and the shockingly accurate secret talent Clinton wants in return. Hit play and join the group chat before it’s too late!

• 00:00 – The team breaks the search engines looking for a very niche adult podcast.

  00:46 – A pitch to get Julie, Philippa, and Christine to host a mums-only breakfast show.

  01:14 – Why there are no all-female radio shows and the secret behind successful podcasts.

  01:51 – Meg introduces 'The Memory Trade' and Dan immediately stops listening.

  02:44 – Dan chooses which year of his life he wants to completely erase.

  03:22 – Dan reveals his ultimate driving skill fantasy (featuring Lightning McQueen).

Clint, Meg and Dan tease an embargoed tour announcement, chat a stacked NZ concert calendar, and Clint reveals a new Japan-inspired tattoo. In “More or Less,” they compare Spotify streams for solo artists versus their former bands (including Beyoncé/Destiny’s Child and Harry Styles/One Direction). Scandal headlines cover Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell praising Harry Styles, plus Niall Horan on the 1D group chat. Listeners win giveaways, discuss holiday-ruining mishaps, and try cracking the Neutrogena vault. The big reveal: Post Malone returns to New Zealand (21 Oct). The episode also features Dan’s Diary, tattoo regret calls, and a debate about nurses being the biggest partiers.

We went from zero to one hundred way too fast today. It all started with a simple country elimination and somehow devolved into whether Dan got drooled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo—or if it was something way worse. You are absolutely not ready for the rabbit hole we fell down trying to figure out if you can tell the difference between tiger spit and tiger jiz.

To settle a separate argument about what a "chuff" actually is, we even ended up asking a medical expert a very questionable question. Plus, we put ourselves through a hypothetical lie detector test to find out if we're actually cool.

• 00:00 - Whipping out France from the country jar.

• 00:30 - The surprisingly real history of French kissing.

• 01:13 - Dan gets dribbled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo.

• 01:34 - The great tiger jiz vs. tiger saliva debate.

• 02:27 - What on earth is a chuff? (Spoiler: It has a lot of definitions).

• 03:10 - Can you get pregnant from anal sex? We ask a medical expert.

• 04:00 - The lie detector test: Are we actually cool?

• 05:15 - Meg's drumming skills and embarrassing BP moments.

• 06:12 - Why does Dan bounce when he walks and does Meg waddle?

On the Clint, Meg, and Dan Podcast, the team kicks off with talk of a 90s band quitting after 30 years, Clint’s tattoo update and marriage negotiations, and a “more or less” game comparing celebrity net worths. Scandal includes Phineas on writing for Billie Eilish and Paul Rudd’s teenage arrest story. They award “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash to help fund a daughter’s Waka Ama worlds trip, but another caller misses out by not answering. A viral bridesmaid who split her dress leads to a debate about whether physiotherapists can do the worm. They share bizarre ways people caught partners cheating, read Dan’s diary about selling found magazines, hear high school hustles, and finish with “Cart Busters” judging listeners’ online shopping carts.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Tuesday with banter about holidays and tech-challenged parents, including a caller whose mum brought an Apple Watch with the screen hanging off. They play More or Less on extreme city temperatures, share scandal about AI writing and a young actress leaving the HBO Harry Potter series after season one, and discuss a reported leak of Pornhub Premium user data. The team fails to reach a Take the Edge Off My Life winner, then swap stories about broken items “hanging by a thread” and the habit of filling online carts without buying. They try cracking the Neutrogena vault code, talk early job quitters, read Dan’s teen diary, interview viral bridesmaid Georgie Bell about her dress ripping during a worm, and debate A-lister list rankings for Brendan Fraser, Dave Grohl and Snoop Dogg.

Meg kicks things off with an absolute health anxiety crisis after her doctor dropped a casual "can't rule it out" bomb about a bump on her nose. Then things get totally unhinged as Dan reveals his wife has him insured for a casual $900k—making us genuinely concerned she’s going to push him down the stairs—and Clint literally loses his entire house to Meg over a basic geography debate. You’re not ready for this level of chaos, mate.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday chatting Auckland FC reaching the grand final, the Warriors’ big win, and a zoo visit where Clint’s son names Meg after an orangutan. They share entertainment “scandal” updates, take calls from April about appearing on Face the Music, and debate when it’s fair for a coach to give their own child player of the day. The “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash callout fails when Shane answers wrong, then Crystal wins. They read Dan’s diary entries, discuss late-in-life realizations and coincidences, cross to Sven at Eurovision, and run the Neutrogena Vault pin-guessing competition.

We tried to be wholesome for Pink Shirt Day, but it quickly devolved into Clint insulting Meg and Dan being compared to a 65-year-old movie villain. Throw in a stylist roasting Dan’s "naked piglet" shirt and a very awkward round of "Guess the Fart," and you’ve got a classic office spiral. You aren’t ready for this one.

00:00 – The "stupidest noise" stitch-up and the oily duck debate.

 01:30 – Pink Shirt Day: Trying (and failing) to do a "nice" Pass the Mic.

03:15 – Dan’s "glow-up" or "illness recovery" look?

04:50 – The Holes comparison: Does Dan look like Jon Voight?

06:45 – Clint’s secret mustache hack: Using mascara to hide the grays.

08:20 – Meg’s "hard worker" reputation vs. her "whinging" reality.

10:10 – Stylist Georgette drops in to roast Dan’s "naked piglet" peach shirt.

12:30 – AI vs. Professional color analysis. 

14:00 – The ultimate shame: "Guess the Fart" in front of a guest.
