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. 01:56 Damn Daniel Lifetime Vans 04:49 Year Supply Giveaway Debate 10:46 Scandal Headlines  13:13 Lets Settle This 10 mins Early or Late 17:48 Naughty 640 Challenge Talk 26:44 Easy Money  28:53 Secret Sharing Debate 36:55 Dai Henwood Tribute 41:24 Fake Fan SailGP Quiz 48:23 Airbnb Horror Stories 53:54 Easy Money  56:18 Kate Tolo 01:04:21 Millennial Hoarding Bingo 01:08:28 NCEA Edge Exam Trash Talk 01:12:59 Olympian Vs Clint Breath Hold

We sat down with Kate Tolo, who is literally turning herself into the most researched woman in the world, and honestly, the science will blow your mind. Between tracking nearly 2,000 biomarkers, spending millions a year, and living with a partner trying to live forever, she is lifting the lid on everything medicine has ignored about female bodies.

Clint returns from Africa, questioning why anyone sits in a safari jeep for 10 hours when Auckland Zoo is right down the road. Meanwhile, Dan faces a moral dilemma after Susann, the 35-year-old co-star from his 21-year-old musical theatre dry-humping past, slides into his DMs via a joint Facebook account. Add in Clint's pitch to his wife for a viral 100-day sex challenge (which exposes Dan's 90% missionary habits) and a panic-written ChatGPT poem for Meg that brings up an infamous bed-shitting incident, and it's total studio chaos.

Clint is back from Africa with jet lag, safari stories, and reflections on wealth and poverty, including raising over $3,500 for local families he met and updates on how they spent it. The team dives into a study comparing sitting vs standing to pee, plays a Homegrown one-second song game, and attempts Easy Money. Dan admits confronting neighbors for setting off fireworks late, while Meg performs a chaotic “Marketing Monday” jingle for The Copy Center. They debate A/B/C-listers, swap “bad parent” confessions, and plan a risky underwater breath-hold challenge against Olympic swimmer Hazel Hourigan. 01:38 Africa Safari Stories 03:09 Bidet Talk Serengeti 04:03 Resort Wealth Contrast 05:47 First Call of the Day 09:03 Scandal And Skims 16:25 Naughty 640  18:53 Homegrown One Second Win 20:50 Easy Money  27:04 Calling Out Fake Fans 32:27 Firework Neighbor Showdown 40:16 Clint Africa Wedding Recap 47:11 NCEA Exams Pep Talk 55:33 EZ Money 58:00 Marketing Monday Returns 01:01:50 A Lister  01:08:59 Bad Dad Mandarin Joke 01:12:32 Kids Learned Too Much 01:17:24 Breath Hold Challenge

Maya Jama’s sudden Love Island exit, the nightmare of almost being cast as an undercover "Nice Guy" on FBoy Island, and why Kiwi reality TV is so painful to watch. Plus, unearned 20s confidence, learning Adele in three days, and a master plan to flex on strangers at the Christchurch Airport piano.

Clint is still off air after an Africa trip, so the team previews the day’s guests, commits to Movember banter, and shares awkward real-life stories before celebrating ambulance officer Jade’s birthday. Scandal includes Celine Dion and Jack Black rocking out at Metallica and Justin Timberlake denying Britney inspired “What Goes Around.” They break down the tight New Zealand election with Georgie from Three Girls One Beehive, then Sven’s chaotic “correspondent” take.

The crew goes completely off the rails into conspiracy territory and questionable locker room etiquette.

What happens when a sexually inexperienced 21-year-old theatre kid in a Honda Accord gets invited back to a 35-year-old costar’s house for “tea”? Dan finally breaks down the full, agonisingly awkward truth about his infamous wrap-party romance, which ended not with a bang, but with fully clothed grinding, crippling panic, and zero eye contact. From West Side Story rehearsals to an impromptu Kingsland salsa class, the team interrogates Dan’s mortifying moves, asks whether he actually faked an orgasm to leave, and debates offering thousands of dollars to track down Susan and hear her side of the story.

it’s Friday eve on The Edge Breakfast as Meg, Dan and Cal chat end-of-year exam nerves and Clint’s African safari Instagram clips featuring unfiltered animal moments. Cal shares an update on a backyard rat problem, then explains the US midterm election results and what they mean for power in Washington. The team discusses Narnia casting news, plays First Call for $100, and takes fire safety advice ahead of Guy Fawkes while debating whether fireworks should be banned. Games include Easy Money, “I’ve Never Met a Bad…,” and the Love Island imposters contest, Dan also asks if it’s okay to catch up with an old theatre fling.   01:17 Clint Safari Chaos 04:56 Midterms Explained 07:54 Edge Scandal  10:47 Engagement Storytime 13:04 Guy Fawkes Fire Safety 17:32 Should Fireworks Be Banned 20:40 Easy Money  22:51 Imposters Recap 26:28 Kindness Collective Joy Store 31:15 Hunger Games Cast Interview 35:10 Good Wifes Guide 38:13 Never Met A Bad 44:12 Easy Money  46:31 Imposter 53:21 Ex Catch Up Dilemma 01:00:16 Election Debate Chat

What starts as a noble debate over how to give away a billion dollars immediately derails into an unhinged, laugh-out-loud confessional of public panic and gastrointestinal disasters. From corkscrew slide biohazards to high-stakes airport security interrogations over suspicious packages, Dan, Meg, and Cal leave no mortifying detail behind.

Cal, Meg and Dan kick off Wednesday with breakfast chat and Cal’s moral dilemma over a huge backyard rat. Listeners weigh in on sharing phone locations after Dan gets busted at sushi.

With Clint out, Cal jumps into the hot seat alongside Dan and Meg as sparks fly over New Zealand’s raging fireworks debate, pitting pet-trauma panic against full-blown nanny-state outrage (plus an unprovoked attack on Meg’s fast-fashion cart). Then, absolute chaos takes over as the crew pulls from TikTok’s "20 Easiest Impressions". Watch Meg channel pure voice-acting gold while Cal suffers a legendary meltdown attempting Christopher Walken and a wildly unhinged Owen Wilson!

Cal, Meg and Dan kick off Tuesday with Dan’s “tough love” motorway cat rescue, Meg’s five-year-old learning sarcasm, and a debate on whether you must warn your partner before inviting friends over.
