The Edge Breakfast

We are spiraling today after a listener's story about a coworker who took "cleaning the office bathroom" to a whole new level of illegal. Plus, we’re checking in on Clint’s financial glow-up from five years ago—let’s just say his bank account and his "investment" pool have some explaining to do. You are not ready for the crack pipe plot twist!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday with talk about birthday messages, the “It’s Gonna Be May” throwback, and Life360 tracking stats. They discuss Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, and play “More or Less” guessing TV episode counts. The team plugs the Kindness Collective PJ Project, jokes about National Pajama Day, and tries ChatGPT palm readings. A report on dental costs leads to shocking DIY dentistry stories, including pliers, super glue and even battery acid. They visit Dan’s mum’s attic, tour the property, and finally find a brand-new Dan’s diary—plus another surprise item... Scandal includes Ted Lasso season four, and they chat to Celebrity Treasure Island’s Polly Gillespie about tearing her ACL. The show ends with “horse girl” stereotypes and listener “parent brag” stories.

I honestly don't know where Meg gets these scenarios from, but this one absolutely sent us into a spiral. We started talking about what would happen if we swapped partners for a night and—surprise, surprise—Dan managed to make it deeply uncomfortable by catching actual feelings.
It’s a bit of a chaotic one today because we’re currently piling into the car to head to Dan’s mum’s house.
