The Edge Breakfast

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off a loose Edge Breakfast episode while packing for a Christchurch broadcast and VIP Loft Bar, then debate Gaga/Beyoncé and Eminem throwbacks. Meg’s “Scandals” cover Flavor Flav hosting a Las Vegas celebration for female medalists after a controversial White House invite, plus Luke Combs opening up about body image and avoiding medical weight-loss shortcuts. The team dives into a “testicles research” chat, defines the rules of a “guy dinner,” and takes calls on comfort items adults still sleep with. They chat with Jono, swimming from North Cape to Wellington to end bottom trawling, run $10,000 EZ Money with callers, plan Dan’s Christchurch “cash strapped” chase with a decoy runner, and finish with a running gag comparing Dan to 1960s singer Peter Noon.

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.

Brad discusses friendships, caregiving, accessibility, his wheelchair tech, breath-hold freediving, travel, and lessons on mindset, presence, gratitude, and asking for help.
