The Edge Breakfast

What happens when an off-air brainstorm for a radio promo goes completely off the rails? Dan, Clint, and Meg take things way too far on The Overthinkers after Boss Jack puts a hypothetical $1,000 on the table to find out each host's lowest price for a mutual naked curtain-reveal with their own mum. Naturally, they pick up the phone and cold-call Julie, Christine, and Philippa live on the podcast to compare numbers, costing one mum an actual retail sale in the process.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Edge Breakfast on Canterbury Anniversary Day, tease their attempt to add a rap verse to Jamie Miller’s “Baby Doll,” and Meg reveals her past as the Spotify ad voice—still being used years later without a contract and amid fears of AI voice cloning. They debate how long Christmas ham is safe to eat, take calls, and check a new teaser for the final season of Emily in Paris. Laura McGoldrick joins for a packed sport weekend, including Black Caps vs India, All Blacks vs Wales, the Rugby League World Cup finals, and Liam Lawson’s F1 contract. They play Easy Money, discuss a major CEO cheating scandal, hear breakup-loss stories, cover small-town Blenheim “Park Free Fridays,” recap weekly highlights, and announce a GTA VI overnight cinema livestream event.

Dan attempts to secure his official "Cool Uncle" status after catching a former babysitting client smoking on the street and getting dapped up in exchange for his silence. Then, Meg unleashes a fiery rant about a viral groom who sent an Excel invoice to a guest demanding $15 to cover their own dinner plate, sparking a debate on whether destination weddings have completely ruined common sense.

Clint, Meg, and Dan kick off Thursday with post-exam anxiety after sitting NCEA Level 1 tests against The Edge Arvos, with a wager that the losing show must host a live Christmas Day broadcast. They chat Muffin Break nostalgia, Meg performs a slam poem for the NZ Slam Poetry Championships, and Scandal headlines cover a Coachella lineup and Katseye criticism after Megan performs concussed. The team launches “Rap it or Scrap it,” taking listener words to add a rap verse to Jamie Miller’s “Baby Doll.” Calls include a first-time caller winning $100, debate over uninviting guests after sending save-the-dates, Rolleston’s pronunciation, cheating stories, Bruno Mars “risk” challenges, and unique parenting rules about swearing and tantrums. They reveal the exam results: the breakfast team wins, forcing Arvos to do the Christmas show.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the morning with Clint’s “dangerous” 12-hour nap, preview an interview with Kate Tulloh’s $2.6M women’s health self-experiment, and reflect on the death of comedian Dai Henwood with tributes and audio from his career. The team revisits the “Damn Daniel” viral moment and debates what a “lifetime supply” really means, hearing from listeners who won yearly supplies of V and Red Bull. They settle whether arriving early or late to someone’s house is ruder, discuss a 100-day intimacy challenge and listener streaks, play Easy Money, argue about sharing friends’ secrets with partners, quiz a SailGP “fake fan,” cover Airbnb’s new cleaning rules plus horror stories, play millennial hoarding bingo, talk smack ahead of an “Edge exam,” and line up Clint vs Olympic swimmer Hazel Ouwehand in a breath-hold pool challenge.
