The Edge Breakfast

We back! Absolute apologies for Friday's massive audio disaster—turns out we played "Guess the Fart" entirely to ourselves while you heard nothing, which is deeply embarrassing. Today, we are exposing Dan’s secret bad-boy weekend lifestyle, debating who the real office "dead weight" is, and trying to guess each other's weights. It gets chaotic fast.

Clint, Meg and Dan gear up for the sold-out debut of Hooked: The Musical at 7pm, joking about an all-day rehearsal, costumes, and a dreaded on-stage kiss. They recap how Dan’s teenage script was rediscovered and turned into a show, debate Clint’s “funniness” rating, and run Weather Watch plus a theater-themed quiz. Meg’s reluctant freestyle rap returns, Dan shares a wild lads’ weekend, and the team discusses tech mishaps. They audition narrators and pick Richie, then make “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, gifting cash for a portable dishwasher and a child’s mattress, and give away the fina...

We didn’t think this episode would devolve into Clint demonstrating a "sneaky" game he plays with his wife, but here we are. Meg is completely traumatized, Dan is stressing over the logistics of a three-way, and a primary school math quiz leaves us all spiraling. You’re not ready for this chaos.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with jokes, Freestyle Friday rapping that goes off the rails, and calls including Russell discussing a complicated relationship. They talk about artists playing new music live, then Naughty 6:40 turns to a study claiming 15% of young adults have had serious relationships with AI chatbots. They give away Take the Edge Off My Life cash, debate Meg’s falling-apart phone, and share listener workarounds for broken items. With Hook the Musical (written by Dan at 15) approaching, Meg’s husband Guy reveals boot-sale-style merch plans. A surprise wheel spin forces Dan to perform a Hook mono...

We have officially spiraled. In this episode, Dan gets completely called out for a sneaky financial move against his own wife, while Clint considers completely cutting off his charity donations out of pure spite. Plus, we test our sanity with a chaotic impromptu speech generator that results in a massive argument about an imaginary "orphan bus." You are genuinely not ready for how fast this chat falls apart—hit play and join the madness!

Meg and Dan riff on moving to Christchurch as a commune, then try the viral Kiwi snack Perky Nana and argue over a listener-voted top five chocolate bars. Meg attempts an unprepared freestyle rap and the team decides to make it a daily segment, sparking a flood of rap-name texts. With Hook: The Musical four days away, they share rehearsal stress, merch plans and Meg’s awkward attempt to invite Dan’s former drama teacher. They also chat long-distance love, workplace MVPs like Larry the Downing Street cat, a pig predicting World Cup matches, and a “10 but…” dating flaws segment.<...

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 Kindnes...

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...

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, incl...

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 5...

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 $30...

Meg returns to find Clint and Dan mocking Clint’s emotional reaction to Lewis Hamilton’s Formula 1 win, before Dan reveals his daily “pie guy” habit and being given a free mince-and-cheese pie.

They give away “take the edge off my life” cash to listeners, discuss New Zealand’s 2–2 World Cup draw with Elijah Just’s two goals and Chri...

Clint, Dan and Yas  joke about secrets and Hook: The Musical, including whether Dan is allowed to kiss Meg on stage. Dan shares getting lured into a Briscoes “sale” and spending $400 on Manchester, then they give movie passes and “Take the Edge Off” cash to callers, including a single mum for dog grooming and another for a PlayStation subscription. They play “More or Less” on celebrity birthday party costs, discuss tattoo removal trends and regretful tattoos, debate Love Island ring rules, reveal an IMDb URL “play” streaming loophole, and check in with Clint’s mum predicting World Cup results.

00:00 Show Ki...

We are completely spiralling over a viral TikTok proposal where a guy is bawling his eyes out while sportin’ an involuntary erection! It has us debating the science of a "Narb" (non-apparent reason boner), which leads Dan to confess an unbelievably awkward, completely naked midnight parenting fail. Plus, Yas tries to find out if "fanny flutters" can just happen out of nowhere for absolutely no reason at all. You are not ready for the sheer chaos in this one, wait until you hear what went down

Yas fills in for Meg on The Edge as the team recaps the weekend,. Dan celebrates Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari F1 win in years, admitting he cried at 2:00 AM. They cross to “correspondent” Sven at the FIFA World Cup ahead of Sweden vs Tunisia, then start a World Cup prediction hunt with Clint’s mum as an oracle. A “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash call is controversially awarded after a voicemail answer, plus another winner gets $200 for car servicing. The crew debates morning sex and tongue kissing stats, plays a musicals-budget game, teases their Hook musical (including ta...

I am still reeling from what we just let Dan say on air. We dug up our deepest university shame pits, starting with Clint’s bizarre backyard boxing match in a homemade "scort" and Yas’s horrific "slutty tradie" wardrobe malfunction. But nothing compares to Dan’s questionable panic attack.

We have officially gone too far today, and I blame the Friday energy. What started as an innocent debate about what color your jiz would be if you could choose it somehow spiralled into Meg confessing she completely skipped second base for years. Dan nearly lost his mind, and yes, we closed the week with a literal game of 'Guess the Fart.' You're not ready for this chaos.

On Pajama Day, Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter about makeup and take calls, including apprentice electrician Mehi who claims a 98% accurate party trick. They finalize blurbs for Hooked: The Musical, react to viral moments from Cardi B, Timothée Chalamet and Zara Larsson, and build a controversial Pride Month “top five” list of gay icons, landing on Ricky Martin, Billie Eilish, Miriam Margolyes, RuPaul and Elton John. They highlight a 45% rise in NZ phone and text scams, then “take the edge off” by fixing Brandon’s cracked windscreen with Novus and fundraising with The Kindness Collective to buy warm...

We are completely spiraling today and you are not ready for how uncomfortable this gets. Dan immediately derails the show by admitting he did a baby-voice roleplay on Meg’s breast, and now he's terrified his mother-in-law is going to hear it.

Things only get messier from there. We get into a massive fight over a broken studio camera, play a post-it note game that turns incredibly dirty, and try a round of "flirting tennis" that makes us sound like two glitching AI robots trying to read an erotic script. Turn it up, it's absolute chaos

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off their early-morning show chatting about cold temperatures around New Zealand, a studio clean-up that led Dan to dig antibiotics out of the bin, and a “What’s up?” battle that awards Alex $250 and a Scary Movie 6 double pass. They take a call from Linda, an infection and antimicrobial therapy nurse specialist, who explains antibiotic plans and the importance of finishing a course amid rising resistance. The hosts also debate supermarket and online grocery shopping, share extreme cheapskate money-saving hacks, and hear from callers who kept paying for unused gym memberships for years. Meg reveal...

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter, run a “Wassup Battle” for Scary Movie 6 tickets and $250 (won by Gemma), and share a coffee catch-up about The Traitors NZ and “gang gang gamor.” Dan recounts trying to help a woman with a flat tire, while the team discusses Machine Gun Kelly and Jennifer Lopez. Listeners call in for advice and “Take the edge off my life” cash, including Chloe’s Rams jersey and Scott’s vasectomy. They unpack ACC gym injury stats, highlight an Instagram grid-reorder update,  and reveal Meg’s lie detector results about the show and coworkers, then brainstorm nic...

We completely lost the plot today. We started talking about a magical button that gives you cash but makes someone stub their toe, and somehow it devolved into whether Dan would soil himself daily for a hundred grand. You won't believe the diabolical nappy prank Producer Carl cooked up for him!

Clint, Meg and Dan recap Meg’s return and promote sold-out tickets for “Hooked: The Musical.” They run a “Wassup” Scary Movie 6 battle, awarding Jason $250 and a double pass, with Marty as runner-up. Meg shares injuring her tailbone on a steep slide at a new West Auckland indoor playground and may need X-rays. They discuss Taylor Lautner’s baby news, a Tonys performance with Pink, and chat with police officer Louise about coping, fitness tests, and handling speeding stops, plus plug Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day.” Dan’s lie detector results reveal claims about burner accounts, being highest paid, and show dynamics. Calle...

Meg is off after her daughter gets sick, so Clint and Dan run a promo-packed Monday with cash giveaways, a Scary Movie “Wazzup” battle, and Take The Edge Off My Life winners, including money for walking shoes and a divorce filing. They play McDonald’s 50-years-in-NZ More or Less, announce tickets for Dan’s teenage-written Hook musical (June 29 in Auckland), and reveal Clint’s lie detector results.

We are diving straight into our absolute darkest, most mortifying school memories, and honestly, we might never recover. Between Clint enabling a classic primary school disaster, Dan’s tragic Speedo mishap in front of his crush, and Bella accidentally broadcasting her own singing voice to a thousand students, the second-hand cringe is so real.

We are absolutely spiraling today after Clint confessed to making a brutal 90-minute U-turn back to a holiday batch just to fish a rogue poo out of a broken toilet using a kitchen spatula. Plus, we're naming the mean little critic living inside Dan's head. You are not ready for this chaos.

We are officially panicking ahead of the Radio Awards! We’re praying for a "Blackie" win, but between Meg getting roasted mid-makeup prep and Dan defending a $3,000 suit because he apparently has the same leg measurements as Beauden Barrett, we’ve completely lost it. Add in a thirsty text from Dan’s mum about Lewis Hamilton and our boss accidentally entering us into the wrong age demographic, and it’s pure pre-show chaos. Hit play before we face a live lie detector test!

Dan Webby calls in sick after apparently spreading his cold, leaving Clint and Meg to run the show and debate tooth fairy payouts while Meg prepares a nervous Tinker Bell audition for their upcoming Hook musical. They give away supermarket vouchers and “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash, then pitch an annual Long Distance Bestie Island trip with all-inclusive options, activities, and prize ideas like crab racing or treasure hunts. The show shares celebrity clips about Tom Holland quitting alcohol and discusses “Books by Boomers” marriage tips, brainstorms questions for Dan’s long-requested lie detector test, and ends with Meg p...

We tried to do something genuinely nice for once by talking behind people's backs in the absolute best way possible, but of course, it completely devolved into chaos. Clint revealed a truly wild mental trick he uses to stop himself from finding hot people attractive, and things got incredibly real when Dan started rinsing the entire New Zealand media industry. Plus, we check in on our Canadian listeners, and Meg ends up in actual tears over a wholesome friendship story. You are not ready for how fast this rolls down the hill!

On The Edge Breakfast, the team reacts to Wellington Phoenix defender Tim Payne exploding from 4,000 to 4 million Instagram followers after being made a “main character” of the FIFA World Cup by a South American social media star.

Dan introduces a new “rule” after a listener opened his Postie Plus changing-room curtain mid-try-on. They take calls about personal rules, random ways people met best friends, and what was caught on ca...

We finally wrapped up our massive country elimination bracket today, and you won’t believe who won. But things completely derailed when Producer Carl brought out a Google Doc exposing Clint's unhinged, cringe-worthy old Facebook statuses. From questionable luxury flexes to some seriously awkward throwback posts, Clint was left absolutely sweating in the studio. We also dive into the listener conspiracy theory about why Meg is barely getting any screen time on our video podcast. Trust us, you are not ready for this one!
