The Edge Breakfast

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday talking about not wishing life away and being present with kids, then hunt for New Zealand’s best wake-up sound with the Jurassic Park theme as a frontrunner. They share an Overthinkers clip about a woman finding her dad and discovering his explicit SoundCloud, before discussing allegations against Jared Leto. The first call comes from Amy in Queenstown, a new drug-testing worker. Meg panics over a mysterious computer mouse package that turns out to be her mum’s lost Airbnb item. The team covers banana disease, a Fiji shark attack survivor’s advice, and sprinter Zoe Hobbs’ Commonwealth gold, then play Easy Money with callers. Dan triggers a workplace security alert while booking a spray tan, leading into “glow up to blow up” beauty disasters, and they debate a controversial post-date voicemail demanding sex, plus stories about crying to get out of trouble.

We almost had to shut down the entire podcast today after Dan tried showing us his spray tan lines and gave the camera way more than anyone asked for. Between his developing fake tan, heated debates over electric mountain bikes, and previewing our unhinged new alarm sounds, things got out of hand fast. You’re definitely going to want to hear this one!

Meg found a video of a girl who tracked down her dad, only to find his SoundCloud loaded with tracks about taking off panties. Naturally, we spent ten minutes spitting our own wild sex-rap rhymes live on air. Plus, we broke down the absolute chaos of boys' weekends versus girls' trips. Trust us, you’re not ready for this.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Wednesday with Dan’s infamous hula-hoop “thrusting” training, a pact to stop doing open-mouth promo shots, and Meg’s fake-tan rebooking after realizing she wore tatty undies. They take calls on the nationwide cold snap (frozen pipes, refreezing windscreens) and play Easy Money for $1,000. Hazel Houland joins after winning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. The team swaps “how did I get here?” stories, including a Vanuatu cruise mishap and a Vegas dice incident, then debates pretty privilege after a viral Usher stage moment.

We thought we were interviewing the All Blacks today, but instead, we ended up reading a listener email from Graham that called Clint completely replaceable. To make up for it, Clint made us tape numbers to our foreheads for a game that spiraled way too fast into Dan asking about Clint’s ass, Meg rating her own looks, and Clint trying to justify drinking 79 beers in December. You're not ready for how out of hand this gets.
