The Edge Breakfast

Meg, Dan and Cal cover a rain-themed throwback playlist, debate Ella Langley’s viral appeal, and share supermarket stories—from bad parking to the “Ash London” grocery shop hack. They preview Ricky Gervais’ 25th anniversary Office special and discuss dating apps with caller Claudia, a single mum studying social work. Meg recounts confronting a man who cut in at the fishmonger, then the team plays an animal weight “More or Less” game. They award $240 to Shannon for a Cycle Taupō entry, swap infamous school-prank stories, get a Dunedin flood update from Mayor Sophie Barker, dive into flat mate nightmare calls, rank wedding A-listers, and hear animal-destruction tales including Neil the seal.

On this Overthinkers Podcast episode, Meg and Dan chat with Calum Payne about personal “rebrands,” including Calum becoming “Cal” and Megan becoming “Meg,” before revisiting a past hypothetical: choosing three celebrities to help start a new society on Mars. Cal’s picks spiral from considering Obama to choosing Elon Musk, plus Meg and Guy, prompting jokes about leadership, survival skills, and reproduction. Meg revises her own Mars team to Handy Andy (Andy Kane), Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Michelle Obama. Dan rebuilds his list around Hailey Bieber, Barack Obama, and Zendaya, debating leadership, building, and entertainment.

Dan confesses parking in an emergency-only spot, the show crowns a “biggest crush” nominee, shares wild coincidences, and vents about everyday hates like escalator blockers, self-checkout errors, lunchboxes, and supermarket aisle talkers.
