The Edge Breakfast

We thought we were having a normal morning with Lucy filling in until she genuinely asked if porcupines live forever because they are nocturnal.
Between measuring eyeball distance live on air and exposing Dan's childhood mermaid costumes, things spiralled fast. Grab your headphones, you are not ready for this mess!

Meg is away sick so Lucy fills in as Clint and Dan kick off Tuesday with early-texter medal awards, a debate about scheduling texts and using ChatGPT for grocery lists, and Clint’s mission to catch a mouse humanely. Caller Alice returns with a story about her sister winning the South African lotto and the crew gives away $100. Scandal includes Selena Gomez saying vaping changed her voice and Kings of Leon announcing a 2027 Auckland Domain show. Comedian Chopper joins to plug his NZ tour, Gemma shares doing Olivia Dean’s nails backstage, Dan debuts a chaotic Macarena jingle, listeners share wild “right after birth” stories, and the team tackles A-lister rankings, forever engagements, and more giveaways.

Dan gets into a full-blown yelling match with a nosy neighbour over sidewalk parking, complete with Hannah stepping in and threats of running people over. Meanwhile, Meg puts Dan's intelligence to the test with a "Quiz for Dummies" to redeem his math abilities from last week, featuring a lifeline call to Clint and a very confusing riddle about cats and mice. Plus, the team tracks down an old booster math classmate, and the studio text machine gets flooded with NSFW insults.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday with holiday chatter, Halloween costume predictions and a recap of Olivia Dean’s delayed but “worth it” gig. They take calls for “I still haven’t…” (including a listener who’s never left New Zealand), debate wedding gift spending, and hit Scandal headlines on Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Dan’s struggle solving 11×11 leads into Quiz for Dummies, while Easy Money nearly lands $1,000. They judge ultra-honest dating “pros and cons,” prank-call Clint’s mum as Santa, test 24-hour business jingles, get celebrity matches from a matchmaker, give away a $1,000 Westpac card, and reveal a hilarious sign-download website mix-up.
