The Edge Breakfast

We’re kicking things off with a total identity crisis as Meg tries to rebrand herself away from being the "Craft Nut" of the group. Things get heated—and a little bit weird—when we dive into the conspiracy theories behind Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance and whether Scooter Braun is actually the villain everyone says he is. Plus, Clint and Dan have a very different understanding of what "access all areas" means, and let's just say it involves a lot of "sex-baiting" and a very unfortunate incident with a stress ball. You aren’t ready for how quickly this spirals into a debate about chutney!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday joking about Dan getting them in trouble, play a throwback (Akon), and revisit Clint’s laundry-sniffing segment after public reactions. They run a “More or Less” quiz on the percentage of women in NZ professions, discuss Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor not being called back, and Megan Fox fronting a men’s deodorant ad. Calls cover bedroom injuries, then “50K Fuellette” spins narrowly miss $5,000 for Louise and Andy. The team stereotypes Ford Ranger drivers, talks long-distance friendships as Megan reads a poem for her UK best friend, shares smart-vs-stingy money habits, debates gossipy professions (hairdressers top), plans a search in Dan’s mum’s basement for more of his teenage diary, and recommends Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum before taking calls on how quickly people said “I love you.”

Sorry no video pod today! We’re spiraling into some heavy moral territory today, and honestly, I’m not sure we’ll ever look at Dan’s wife, Hannah, the same way again. We tackle the ultimate "Trolley Problem"—would you sacrifice 50 innocent people to save your own child, or in Dan’s case, save him from a literal train wreck? 

Plus, we’re unpacking a listener's absolute disaster of a trip to Amsterdam. From accidentally becoming "disabled" by a brownie to hallucinating that schoolgirls in McDonald's are plotting against you, it’s a chaotic cautionary tale you have to hear to believe.
