The Edge Breakfast

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with headphone drama and banter, then Dan recounts taking his son to Auckland Zoo, getting dripped on by a tiger and embarrassing himself climbing up a slide rescue. They celebrate David Attenborough turning 100, chat to long-time listeners who are truck drivers, and bring back “Hit The Spot” with Dan attempting Mumford & Sons for a Mother’s Day tie-in. The team plays a Mother’s Day trivia game, talks weekend sport with Laura McGoldrick, and Dan fails to convince a Canterbury mechanic to support the Blues. The team see who is Employee of the Week, Scandal includes KJ Apa and Kevin Hart, and Fire Chief Dave Phillips discusses underfunding and breakdowns in NZ Fire Service. They debate “hot or not” hobbies, award a Mother’s Day prize to Lisa, and Meg shares a chaotic bean-and-salad disaster day.

We’ve spiraled into chaos today, from debating if our boss is "hot" to Dan reliving a "stiffy webby" trauma involving Speedos and Roman Jandals. Plus, Clint’s 9-year-old is juggling three crushes, and we’re trying to figure out if being "honest and plain" is actually a compliment.

Today the team jokes about Clint’s holidays and Dan nearly committing to a boys’ trip to Bali, then Clint shares how he’s navigating his nine-year-old son’s secret crushes. They take calls, including Shansea on moving in with her partner and working as a rural service-station barista. Scandal headlines cover Harry Styles’ next single and Hayden Panettiere coming out as bisexual. The show plays “More or Less” with exercise world records, discusses reports on Australian drug spending, potential fireworks bans, and stress caused by clutter with psychologist Kirsty Ross. A Mother’s Day giveaway moves listeners to tears, Dan reads an old diary entry from a careers expo, the team swaps courier “walked in on” stories, we tease “Hit The Spot,” read\ “Books by Boomers,” and hear from callers missing body parts.

We’re debating whether a massive bank account can actually make a “minger” hot. Clint and Dan are convinced wealth is the ultimate glow-up, but I’m not sold—until we call my husband, Guy, and he admits my "provider" status is a major turn-on. Plus, we dive into the Darwin Awards and the tragic guy who got stuck inside a decorative dinosaur. You aren't ready for this one.

The team covers pop culture from the Met Gala and sparks a “Naughty 6:40” debate on whether Harry Styles or Channing Tatum would be better in bed. Listeners call in with family bombshells, and Lucy surprises her mum Phaedra with a $1,000 Prezzy Card and a $500 restaurant voucher.

We’re downing McDonald’s pickle juice for "medical reasons" and it’s every bit as chaotic as it sounds. Things take a real turn when Dan opens up about his solo mum, leading to a heartfelt moment that’ll actually make you tear up.

We’re going deep today, and honestly, things get heavy fast. Dan opens up about the one thing he wishes he could change—his relationship with his dad—and there wasn't a dry eye in the studio. But because we physically can’t stay serious for long, we’re also debating the physics of "Guess the Fart" and why Clint spent five years of his youth avoiding home base. It’s a lot, so buckle in

In Ask Me Anything, Katjia, a former accountant now turned professional girlfriend, describes regular clients, dating clients, online hate, married customers, sterilization via tube removal, and a five-night booking worth $75,000. The episode also covers Cartoon character ages, “almost compliments,” and we get the latest instalment of Dan’s diary, leading to listener horror stories about terrible neighbors.

I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after this one. We sat down with Katjia, a former accountant who traded spreadsheets for the life of a professional girlfriend, and the numbers she’s pulling are actually insane. From $2,500 dinner dates to a $75,000 five-night getaway, she’s revealing exactly what happens behind closed doors (including why some clients end up falling in love). Plus, we settle the ultimate debate: producer Neps takes over for a final, chaotic round of Guess the Fart.
