The Edge Breakfast

Clint, Meg and Dan prep for Electric Ave in Christchurch, debate paying extra for exit-row legroom, and run through a “magic” throwback. They discuss creatine and “placebo sleep,” then Meg covers Pride & Prejudice’s new Netflix series and a Bridesmaids reunion interview. Callers share lame “superpowers” and butt tattoos, while EZ Money contestants attempt for $10k. The team react to savings stats, help a stressed mum with $1k, and Dan narrowly misses “Hit the Spot.”

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the morning debating when it’s acceptable to ask about weekend plans, share a toddler’s hilarious bike mispronunciation, and pick Metro Station for a throwback. Clint claims he’s sparked a New Zealand bidet trend after Art Green asks for recommendations. Meg breaks down Met Gala fashion, while Dan attempts “Hit The Spot” and struggles. They play EZ Money, dive into “accidentally drunk” stories, and read Electric Ave-themed romantic fiction. The highlight is an AMA with wakeboarding legend Brad Smeele, who discusses his accident, life as a quadriplegic, and finding happiness. They also argue the A-list game, cover Lily Collins cast as Audrey Hepburn, and hear sister feud stories.
