The Edge Breakfast

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday sharing weekend stories, reminiscing about daytime TV, and discussing 9/11 memories and US visa social media checks. They debate reclining plane seats, play audio from a mum-calling contest, and cover a huge sports weekend including the Warriors going top of the ladder and DWZ scoring with a broken collarbone. The team tests an “I’m single” hat on producer Brady with mixed results, takes calls, and runs Easy Money with some chaotic false starts. Impostors begins with Max’s Stanley Tucci apple-hunt story, and they finish with petty breakup reasons inspired by Love Is Blind UK.

Episode Summary

Today we tackle the trauma of retail changing room lighting, catching hideous mirror reflections, and why everyone lies when asked "how are you?". Things take a chaotic turn when Meg receives an edited Instagram DM asking for a "pleasure toy" recommendation she swears she never made. The crew finishes off by calling out a massive 14.5-minute voice note and Clint trying (and failing) to deliver a "cute" studio fart.

Bulleted Breakdown

• Changing Room Horrors & Distortion Mirrors: The team dissects store lighting at H&M and Hallensteins, gym "slimming" mirrors, and the tragic feeling of catching your reflection and seeing a "podgy little pig".

• Radical Honesty & The 7-Day Challenge: Clint arrives at the studio claiming he's "gassy," prompting a debate on fake "I'm good" greetings and inspiring Dan to answer every "how are you?" with "positively fantastic" for a week.

• Benson Boone’s Zero-Like Flop: Clint gets roasted for leaving a late "Mum, watch me!" dad comment on a two-week-old Benson Boone Spider-Man backflip video—and netting zero likes.

• The Sex Toy DM Mystery & The Hits Crossover: Meg receives a strange DM asking about a pleasure toy she allegedly recommended on air. The crew calls up Megan from The Hits to check if it was her—uncovering a Satisfyer Pro debate—before Meg realizes the fan was actually referencing a luggage review video from years ago.

• 14-Minute Voice Notes & The Fart Finale: Meg calls out listener Liam for sending a ridiculously long 14.5-minute voice message, followed by Clint attempting a "cute" mic fart that completely backfires.

Clint, Meg, and Dan kick off Friday chatting about mix-ups over what day it is and a flu jab PSA as influenza A spreads, then preview New Music Friday and discuss Will Ferrell’s support of his musician son and Zayn Malik’s farm-life photo dump. The show takes calls, including a Whanganui courier driver, before Clint explains correcting his 11-year-old who said “you get the jizz” instead of “gist,” leading to an awkward birds-and-bees talk. Highlights include Clint finally making fire with two sticks after a boss challenge, triggering a $1,000 splurge giveaway, plus the Producer’s Diary recap, a chicken-calling contest, and an ‘I’m single’ hat experiment for Producer Brady. They also surprise student Jade with Olivia Dean tickets and award the $1,000 to Nafar to treat her solo mum.

Clint celebrates a massive victory after winning a high-stakes fire-making bet against the boss, while Postman Dan shares a painful $150 PlayStation voucher mistake sent straight into the email void. The team tackles a juicy listener "Would You Rather" question, unravels Dan's secret history of writing emotional odes to past male co-hosts, and exposes ChatGPT-generated birth messages.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday’s Edge Breakfast with Clint attempting to make fire from two pieces of bamboo after a $1,000 challenge from their boss Jack, while Dan debuts parody songs and Clint wears a heavily modified caveman costume on a livestream. They reveal the winner of “The Imposter” segment only to learn they chose wrong: Isaac admits he lied, and Indy proves her police-helicopter Christmas story with photos. The show also covers entertainment “Scandal” stories, Love Is Blind UK chat, Easy Money games, odd household workarounds, and a 1950s “Books by Boomers” relationship excerpt. After nearly two hours, Clint finally produces a flame, securing $1,000 to give away tomorrow.

On today's episode of Overthinkers, Meg gets interrogated over a mystery infection in her old belly button piercing - complete with allegations of rogue Dorito crumbs. Then, the team exposes the company's new internal social app, "Bob," where Meg's hyper-specific coffee order and Clint's bare-minimum profile spark pure chaos.

Plus, Clint prepares to dress in a dangerously flammable caveman costume to light a fire using only bamboo and a knife live on air. And finally, Dan tries a positivity technique from his therapist by giving out live compliments - only to accidentally insult Meg, get rejected by his best friend in New York, and completely lose his mind.

WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE

• Dorito Belly Buttons: Meg gets grilled over her hygiene routine after Clint and Dan accuse her of storing nacho crumbs in her old piercing.

• The Corporate App Nobody Asked For: Roasting "Bob" - the workplace app where Meg lists three different coffee orders and Clint lists absolutely zero effort.

• Caveman Survival Stunts: Clint gets 19 minutes to build fire with bamboo and a knife while wearing a wildly flammable outfit live on air.

• Therapy Advice Gone Horribly Wrong: Dan tries to give a positive compliment to boost morale, accidentally tells Meg she's doing great despite being "handicapped," and sparks full-blown studio warfare.

• The NYC Rescue Attempt: A desperate Dan phones his best mate in New York to save face, gets left on ring, and completely spirals.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with breakfast chat, cookie preferences and Dan racing his electric car at 5am, then dive into “Imposter”: three people claim that at age 12 on Christmas morning a police helicopter and SWAT team arrived, with Isaac’s nettle-tea mix-up story raising suspicions. They debate a billionaire divorce offer vs a 35% claim after 20 years and three kids, plus prenups and post-nuptial agreements. Games include Quiz for Dummies and Easy Money, along with a hunt for NZ’s longest kiss record holders. Clint prepares a live bamboo-and-knife fire challenge for $1,000, and the team covers NZ consumer rights and massage etiquette.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Tuesday with breakfast chat, Meg’s porridge, and Dan waking up deaf in one ear while the team crowdsources home remedies. Dan attempts “The Reverend,” guessing a caller’s car from the rev and narrowing it to a Mitsubishi Lancer. They debate whether a goose is a medium or large bird and call Meg’s mum about getting an octopus stuck on her. Producer Brady chickens out of a gym “what song are you listening to?” bit. Easy Money stumps two callers. The Imposter game continues with a Christmas-morning helicopter/SWAT story. They cover Hayden Panettiere’s death and postpartum struggles, share worst ghosting stories, rank Andy Samberg, Robert Downey Jr., and Kate Winslet, and set a $1,000 fire-with-two-sticks challenge for Clint.
