Dom, Meg & Randell Catchup Podcast - The Edge

Clint, Meg, and Dan react to New Zealand’s first football World Cup loss since 1982 (blowing a 1–0 lead to lose 3–1) and look ahead to the next match. Dan shares a new half-marathon sponsorship with a chafing-cream brand and the awkward mid-race reapplication. They discuss UK politics and a game comparing world leaders’ time in power, then run movie trailer updates for Ricky Gervais’ Alley Cats and Taika Waititi’s Clara. The show plugs a Warehouse $2,000 trolley grab, chats Love Actually vs Jackass, and gets “naughty” about Clint’s wife smelling his farts after nasal surgery. They cover cheating caught via home cameras, debate A/B/C-listers, celebrate “super grandparents,” and use a listener’s pig Spencer to predict France vs Iran 00:00 NZ World Cup Heartbreak 01:41 Chafe Cream Sponsorship 05:00 UK Politics Guessing Game 09:08 Movie Trailer Scandals 10:45 Hooked Musical Nerves 15:25 Naughty 640 18:50 Ronaldo Rolls Royce Rumor 20:15 Weird News Roundup 23:43 Books by Boomers Returns 28:57 Hooked Final Song Preview 35:33 Oracle Pig Picks France 38:21 Cheater Catching Tech 43:01 Listener Cheating Stories 47:35 Cash Call Fail 49:54 A Lister Debate 59:56 Burnout Nana Legend 01:03:04 Super Grandparents Calls

We just rehearsed what would happen if one of us died, and honestly, the loyalty is gone... Dan straight up admitted he’d be back on air by Monday just to pay his bills, while Clint absolutely lost his mind crying over a hypothetical hedgehog accident in a Toyota Vitz. You're not ready for how fast this spiraled into absolute chaos.

We are officially in full rehearsal mode for the musical, and things are already completely off the rails. While Dan was away trying to record his backing tracks, we sent Carl into the recording studio to spy on him, and let’s just say his high-register vocals are something you truly have to hear to believe. Between pranking Dan’s tracks and exposing Meg for being a bit too gassy in her own sessions, we are spiralling fast.

Clint, Meg and Dan count down one week until their one-night “Hooked” musical, stressing about missing rehearsal time, mics and costumes, while taking calls from excited ticket holders. They play HBO Max trivia, cover Kristen Wiig’s $6.2m ‘treehouse’ listing and Lizzo’s album sales, and give away Jackass tickets. Listener stories range from magpie, goat and pig attacks to shark-attack stats. Meg shares postpartum reflections on having a non-sleeper then a sleeper baby. They react to Olivia Rodrigo saying fans wear nappies to keep front-row spots, discuss rekindling relationships after decades, and ask how badly people have lied on CVs, including a pilot with a fake license. 00:00 One Week To Hook 02:06 HBO Max Trivia Game 06:58 Jackass Returns 11:34 When Animals Attack 20:07 Take The Edge Off Call 22:57 What ya got 27:06 Postpartum Month Eleven 32:41 Concert Nappy Confessions 37:48 Hook Musical Prep 45:48 Exes Reunite Years Later 53:14 Pilot Fake License 55:27 Lying on Your CV

We are officially losing our minds this Friday. You are not ready for the sheer chaos of Dan admitting he once spent a four-hour dinner party pretending to be a blind man using a cattle prod as a cane just to win a bet. It gets weirder, it gets smellier, and we completely spiral.

Clint, Meg, and Dan kick off an unplanned Friday show while racing toward opening night of “Hook the Musical,” recording new tracks, going off-book on lines, and worrying about Bella’s prep. They chat about darts at Auckland’s Viaduct and a flight attendant’s heavily discounted travel perks, debate whether perks affect friendships, and share Scandal highlights including praise for Ariana Grande’s live vocals and Niall Horan’s Live Lounge cover. A caller road-tripping to Dannevirke spills small-town drama, then the team react to a viral “drunk husband gave his number” apology using AI Winnie the Pooh. Marco gives away 50 free coffees in Christchurch, they cover weekend sport, roast “ex as a store” jokes, discuss “dopamine shopping,” and attempt “Cart Busters” to pay for listeners’ online carts—until the call goes wrong. 02:00 Pizza Night Banter 02:21 Coffee Catch Up Darts 02:50 Flight Perks Debate 06:58 Scandal Ariana And Niall 09:51 First Caller Small Town Tea 13:04 Naughty 640 16:53 Free Coffees Christchurch 19:03 Hook Musical Cringe Preview 24:04 Weekend Sport Chat 25:22 Mum Oracle Retires 28:17 Ex as a Store Game 31:35 Dopamine Shopping Trend 35:13 Cart Busters Calls 37:44 Winner Call Fails

I am in absolute shock that we just attempted to run a full theater rehearsal live on the podcast. Dan wrote a musical when he was 15 called Hook: The Musical, and we are performing it to a real, paying audience in a week and a half. We haven't practiced once.

Clint, Meg and Dan banter through a rough-sleep week, parenting stories (a toddler calling a pharmacist “old” and a dad learning his son’s Battleships tells), and a “more or less” game comparing the cheapest Briscoes appliances. They cover celebrity headlines about Olivia Wilde, chat with listeners about owning irons, and use Meg’s mum as a FIFA World Cup “oracle” after correctly picking Argentina. The team interviews Paul Hapman after his bull sells for a record $168,000 and discusses breeding value and semen collection. They debate a proposed New Zealand social media ban for under-16s, share workplace email-hijacking pranks, give $300 to a listener for flights to her brother’s wedding, and preview Hook: The Musical, including Dan’s pirate rap parody and Meg’s Charlie Puth interview highlights. 00:00 Sleepy Show Kickoff 00:43 Mystery Gin Delivery 01:28 Pharmacy Kid Honesty 03:05 Battleships Dad Tactics 05:24 Briscoes Price Game 08:52 Sparkling Water Teeth Talk 10:49 Scandal Headlines Olivia Wilde 13:31 First Caller Iron Debate 17:05 World Cup Oracle Mum 23:04 Record Bull Sale Interview 28:32 Social Media Ban Under 16 29:39 Millennial Screen Time Struggle 30:14 Parenting Under 16 Ban 31:05 Sleepovers And Online Risks 32:07 Voting On The Ban 33:29 Parents Versus Policing 35:05 Brick Phones And Chromebooks 36:30 Email Hijack Prank War 40:50 Best Workplace Pranks 44:20 Wedding Flights Cash Stress 47:14 Charlie Puth Interview Awkwardness 52:32 Hook Musical Kiss Debate 56:19 Pirate Rap Song Debut 01:01:39 Wrap Up And Throwbacks

Meg returns to find Clint and Dan mocking Clint’s emotional reaction to Lewis Hamilton’s Formula 1 win, before Dan reveals his daily “pie guy” habit and being given a free mince-and-cheese pie. The trio play a rapid-fire quiz, react to a Shrek 5 teaser and Tom Holland confirming he and Zendaya are married, and prepare for their upcoming Hook musical—now featuring a controversial Meg-and-Dan kiss approved (mostly) by their partners, including a live call with Guy. They give away “take the edge off my life” cash to listeners, discuss New Zealand’s 2–2 World Cup draw with Elijah Just’s two goals and Christine’s Oracle picks, cover news like a $168k bull sale, the UK under-16 social media ban, and Elon Musk’s wealth, share relationship low points, and swap stories of what people did soon after giving birth, including moving house, netball, and motocross racing post–C-section. 00:00 Meg Returns Chaos 00:24 F1 Tears Debate 01:38 Dan Pie Guy Confession 04:34 Snack Vices Shapes 05:05 Un Themed Trivia Quiz 08:04 Shrek 5 Teaser Talk 09:16 Secret Wedding Rumors 10:08 Musical Kiss Pitch 12:55 Take the Edge Off 16:01 NZ Football World Cup 20:17 Charlie Puth Birth Note 22:55 News Radar Bulls Ban 28:20 Sinus Rinse Disaster 30:50 Relationship Low Points 34:02 Take the edge off call 37:24 Hook Musical Kiss 45:58 World Cup Oracles 50:27 Postpartum Bounce Back 52:29 Kiwi Mum Legends

Clint, Dan and Yas joke about secrets and Hook: The Musical, including whether Dan is allowed to kiss Meg on stage. Dan shares getting lured into a Briscoes “sale” and spending $400 on Manchester, then they give movie passes and “Take the Edge Off” cash to callers, including a single mum for dog grooming and another for a PlayStation subscription. They play “More or Less” on celebrity birthday party costs, discuss tattoo removal trends and regretful tattoos, debate Love Island ring rules, reveal an IMDb URL “play” streaming loophole, and check in with Clint’s mum predicting World Cup results. 00:00 Show Kickoff 01:46 Briscoes Sale Trap Story 04:47 First Caller Farm Life 11:02 More or Less Birthday Bash 16:17 Naughty 640 19:33 Failed Intimacy Confessions 23:28 Take The Edge Off Dogs 26:39 Tattoo Removal stories 35:17 Hook Kiss Permission 44:31 Ring Rules Debate 46:01 Take The Edge Off Winner 49:47 IMDb Movie Loophole 53:11 World Cup Oracle

We are completely spiralling over a viral TikTok proposal where a guy is bawling his eyes out while sportin’ an involuntary erection! It has us debating the science of a "Narb" (non-apparent reason boner), which leads Dan to confess an unbelievably awkward, completely naked midnight parenting fail. Plus, Yas tries to find out if "fanny flutters" can just happen out of nowhere for absolutely no reason at all. You are not ready for the sheer chaos in this one, wait until you hear what went down

Yas fills in for Meg on The Edge as the team recaps the weekend,. Dan celebrates Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari F1 win in years, admitting he cried at 2:00 AM. They cross to “correspondent” Sven at the FIFA World Cup ahead of Sweden vs Tunisia, then start a World Cup prediction hunt with Clint’s mum as an oracle. A “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash call is controversially awarded after a voicemail answer, plus another winner gets $200 for car servicing. The crew debates morning sex and tongue kissing stats, plays a musicals-budget game, teases their Hook musical (including talk of a Hook–Smee kiss), and shares partner addiction stories like 80+ pairs of shoes. 00:00 Monday Banter Begins 00:38 Hamilton Win Hype 01:56 Weekend Catch Up Stories 03:18 Garage Clean Chaos 05:07 World Cup Cross to Sven 09:26 Scandal Headlines Roundup 10:49 First Call of the day 14:44 Naughty 640 18:27 More or Less Musicals 23:45 Take the edge off 25:52 Voicemail Controversy 27:45 What Made You Cry 34:05 Celebrity Scandal Roundup 35:40 French Kissing Stats 42:48 Take The Edge Call 45:45 Hook Musical Kiss Pitch 52:31 Exposing Addictions 01:02:30 FIFA Oracles

I am still reeling from what we just let Dan say on air. We dug up our deepest university shame pits, starting with Clint’s bizarre backyard boxing match in a homemade "scort" and Yas’s horrific "slutty tradie" wardrobe malfunction. But nothing compares to Dan’s questionable panic attack.

We have officially gone too far today, and I blame the Friday energy. What started as an innocent debate about what color your jiz would be if you could choose it somehow spiralled into Meg confessing she completely skipped second base for years. Dan nearly lost his mind, and yes, we closed the week with a literal game of 'Guess the Fart.' You're not ready for this chaos.

On Pajama Day, Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter about makeup and take calls, including apprentice electrician Mehi who claims a 98% accurate party trick. They finalize blurbs for Hooked: The Musical, react to viral moments from Cardi B, Timothée Chalamet and Zara Larsson, and build a controversial Pride Month “top five” list of gay icons, landing on Ricky Martin, Billie Eilish, Miriam Margolyes, RuPaul and Elton John. They highlight a 45% rise in NZ phone and text scams, then “take the edge off” by fixing Brandon’s cracked windscreen with Novus and fundraising with The Kindness Collective to buy warm pajamas for kids—text PJ to 3343. They also launch a FIFA World Cup predictor: Clint’s mum, Christine. 02:04 Caller Mehi Electrician 02:42 Wild Party Trick Talk 06:00 Celebrity Scandal Roundup 08:20 Naughty 640 13:19 Votes and Final Rankings 17:14 Take the Edge Off Giveaway 18:56 Booking a Windscreen Fix 19:10 Crack Jokes with Mike 20:10 Laura Calls from London 22:36 Weekend Sports Smorgasbord 24:41 Scams Up 45 Percent 28:42 World Cup Oracle Animals 32:18 Clints Mum Predicts 36:39 National PJ Day Drive

We are completely spiraling today and you are not ready for how uncomfortable this gets. Dan immediately derails the show by admitting he did a baby-voice roleplay on Meg’s breast, and now he's terrified his mother-in-law is going to hear it. Things only get messier from there. We get into a massive fight over a broken studio camera, play a post-it note game that turns incredibly dirty, and try a round of "flirting tennis" that makes us sound like two glitching AI robots trying to read an erotic script. Turn it up, it's absolute chaos

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off their early-morning show chatting about cold temperatures around New Zealand, a studio clean-up that led Dan to dig antibiotics out of the bin, and a “What’s up?” battle that awards Alex $250 and a Scary Movie 6 double pass. They take a call from Linda, an infection and antimicrobial therapy nurse specialist, who explains antibiotic plans and the importance of finishing a course amid rising resistance. The hosts also debate supermarket and online grocery shopping, share extreme cheapskate money-saving hacks, and hear from callers who kept paying for unused gym memberships for years. Meg reveals she fractured her tailbone at a kids’ indoor playground, prompting listeners to share their own dumb adult injuries. 01:54 Cold Snap Texts 02:19 Studio Cleanup Chaos 04:00 Decorating Debate 05:49 Whats Up Battle 08:31 Supermarket Date Night 10:52 Alien Safety Questions 12:27 Celebrity Gossip Roundup 14:54 First Call Nurse Specialist 18:50 Reading Kills Romance 22:37 Extreme Cheapskates Clip 24:02 Dishwasher Salmon Debate 25:27 Library Flight Booking Myth 26:20 Stingy Hacks and Samples 27:06 Extreme Cheapskate Showers 28:19 Rewards Points and Reuse 30:35 Incognito and Free Cash 31:41 Gym Fees Add Up Fast 36:18 Long Distance Bestie Island 37:56 Ball Pit mishap 42:50 Dumb Adult Injury Callers

Dan was fully laying his head on Meg’s bosom today because Clint was apparently "bullying" him at work. It was chaotic, deeply uncomfortable, this is one you dont wanna miss!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter, run a “Wassup Battle” for Scary Movie 6 tickets and $250 (won by Gemma), and share a coffee catch-up about The Traitors NZ and “gang gang gamor.” Dan recounts trying to help a woman with a flat tire, while the team discusses Machine Gun Kelly and Jennifer Lopez. Listeners call in for advice and “Take the edge off my life” cash, including Chloe’s Rams jersey and Scott’s vasectomy. They unpack ACC gym injury stats, highlight an Instagram grid-reorder update, and reveal Meg’s lie detector results about the show and coworkers, then brainstorm niche dating app ideas. 00:00 Morning Banter Returns 01:47 Wassup Battle Begins 03:13 Gemma Wins Cash 04:36 Coffee Catch Up Traitors 07:02 Dan Helps Flat Tyre 09:20 Scandal Machine Gun Kelly 12:07 First Call Jamal Advice 18:20 More Or Less Divorces 21:36 Take The Edge Off Call 24:09 Gym Injuries Cost ACC 25:19 ACC Gym Injury Debate 31:07 Instagram Grid Reorder 38:47 Take The Edge Call 42:39 Meg Lie Detector Begin 45:59 Harder Lie Detector Questions 49:08 Niche Dating App Ideas

We completely lost the plot today. We started talking about a magical button that gives you cash but makes someone stub their toe, and somehow it devolved into whether Dan would soil himself daily for a hundred grand. You won't believe the diabolical nappy prank Producer Carl cooked up for him!

Clint, Meg and Dan recap Meg’s return and promote sold-out tickets for “Hooked: The Musical.” They run a “Wassup” Scary Movie 6 battle, awarding Jason $250 and a double pass, with Marty as runner-up. Meg shares injuring her tailbone on a steep slide at a new West Auckland indoor playground and may need X-rays. They discuss Taylor Lautner’s baby news, a Tonys performance with Pink, and chat with police officer Louise about coping, fitness tests, and handling speeding stops, plus plug Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day.” Dan’s lie detector results reveal claims about burner accounts, being highest paid, and show dynamics. Callers share money regrets, meet-cutes, and “Take the Edge Off My Life” gives $300 to Emma but denies Yanita for missing the opening phrase. 01:07 Hooked Musical Tickets 01:44 Wassup Voice Battle 04:27 Meg Breaks Tailbone 08:13 Celebrity Scandal Roundup 09:53 First Call Police Chat 14:33 Naughty 640 18:04 More Or Less Movies 21:06 Take The Edge Off 24:11 NBA Finals With Casey 28:23 Overspent Regrets Talkback 29:53 Regretful Big Purchases 31:58 Meet And Greet Ripoffs 32:43 Collectible Phone Cards Fail 33:56 Cutest Meet Cute Stories 37:31 Dan Lie Detector Fallout 44:23 Take The Edge off 48:03 A B C Celebrity Debate

Meg is off after her daughter gets sick, so Clint and Dan run a promo-packed Monday with cash giveaways, a Scary Movie “Wazzup” battle, and Take The Edge Off My Life winners, including money for walking shoes and a divorce filing. They play McDonald’s 50-years-in-NZ More or Less, announce tickets for Dan’s teenage-written Hook musical (June 29 in Auckland), and reveal Clint’s lie detector results.

We are diving straight into our absolute darkest, most mortifying school memories, and honestly, we might never recover. Between Clint enabling a classic primary school disaster, Dan’s tragic Speedo mishap in front of his crush, and Bella accidentally broadcasting her own singing voice to a thousand students, the second-hand cringe is so real. You are definitely not ready for this chaos. 00:00 – Cringey school memories we just cannot shake 01:08 – Clint's mean roadside prank 02:27 – Bella’s ultimate assembly voice memo nightmare 03:47 – Dan's traumatic high school swimming sports story 05:25 – The impossible debate: Sex, Love, or Money? 06:50 – Why Producer Carl still needs physio after a savage wedgie 08:15 – The golden era of sneaky prepaid mobile hacks

We are absolutely spiraling today after Clint confessed to making a brutal 90-minute U-turn back to a holiday batch just to fish a rogue poo out of a broken toilet using a kitchen spatula. Plus, we're naming the mean little critic living inside Dan's head. You are not ready for this chaos.

We are officially panicking ahead of the Radio Awards! We’re praying for a "Blackie" win, but between Meg getting roasted mid-makeup prep and Dan defending a $3,000 suit because he apparently has the same leg measurements as Beauden Barrett, we’ve completely lost it. Add in a thirsty text from Dan’s mum about Lewis Hamilton and our boss accidentally entering us into the wrong age demographic, and it’s pure pre-show chaos. Hit play before we face a live lie detector test!

Dan Webby calls in sick after apparently spreading his cold, leaving Clint and Meg to run the show and debate tooth fairy payouts while Meg prepares a nervous Tinker Bell audition for their upcoming Hook musical. They give away supermarket vouchers and “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash, then pitch an annual Long Distance Bestie Island trip with all-inclusive options, activities, and prize ideas like crab racing or treasure hunts. The show shares celebrity clips about Tom Holland quitting alcohol and discusses “Books by Boomers” marriage tips, brainstorms questions for Dan’s long-requested lie detector test, and ends with Meg performing her karaoke-style “Peter’s Girl” audition and mixed listener feedback, plus calls about sobriety moments and going viral. 00:00 Dan Calls In Sick 00:56 Solo Show Horror Story 02:28 Tooth Fairy Inflation Debate 06:02 Scandal 08:11 First Call of the day 11:24 Supermarket Flirting Tales 12:06 Private Hospital Fantasy 15:45 Hook Musical Audition Prep 19:08 Take the Edge Off Call 21:02 Bestie Island Brainstorm 30:32 Good News Roundup 34:06 Books by Boomers Advice 38:59 Lie Detector Chaos 46:11 Cash Call Winners 49:41 Tinker Bell Audition 57:23 Viral Fame and Sobriety

We tried to do something genuinely nice for once by talking behind people's backs in the absolute best way possible, but of course, it completely devolved into chaos. Clint revealed a truly wild mental trick he uses to stop himself from finding hot people attractive, and things got incredibly real when Dan started rinsing the entire New Zealand media industry. Plus, we check in on our Canadian listeners, and Meg ends up in actual tears over a wholesome friendship story. You are not ready for how fast this rolls down the hill!

On The Edge Breakfast, the team reacts to Wellington Phoenix defender Tim Payne exploding from 4,000 to 4 million Instagram followers after being made a “main character” of the FIFA World Cup by a South American social media star. They play “More or Less” comparing celebrity marriage lengths following news that Dua Lipa married Callum Turner, and debate A/B/C celebrity status for Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, and Sydney Sweeney. Dan introduces a new “rule” after a listener opened his Postie Plus changing-room curtain mid-try-on. They take calls about personal rules, random ways people met best friends, and what was caught on camera, then award Take the Edge Off My Life cash to Eve for her Nelson cake-sicles business and Isabel for a naughty audiobook subscription.

We finally wrapped up our massive country elimination bracket today, and you won’t believe who won. But things completely derailed when Producer Carl brought out a Google Doc exposing Clint's unhinged, cringe-worthy old Facebook statuses. From questionable luxury flexes to some seriously awkward throwback posts, Clint was left absolutely sweating in the studio. We also dive into the listener conspiracy theory about why Meg is barely getting any screen time on our video podcast. Trust us, you are not ready for this one!

What happens when Dan gets the power to design his ultimate robotic companion? It gets incredibly weird, incredibly fast. After an absolute Freudian slip on air, he accidentally admits he wants a male robot clone with vacuum cleaners for hands to help with some very specific household chores. The studio group chat completely loses its mind—you are not ready for this! 00:00 – The real Dan behind the scenes and the country prize countdown (Fiji vs. Canada) 01:05 – Meg's lazy weekend habits vs. her strict Saturday "Admin Night" schedule 02:30 – Appointment viewing: The crew discusses Celebrity Treasure Island and gym cardio watchlists 03:40 – Welcome to 2041: The Overthinkers fast-forward 15 years into the future 04:30 – The Robotic Partner Dilemma: Designing a custom humanoid companion 05:25 – Clint’s dream robot: Pink hair, crop tops, puffy lips, and no coats 07:05 – Meg shuts down the romance: Why she just wants a robot maid 07:45 – Dan’s ultimate Freudian slip: The male gaming robot with vacuum hands

Welcome to maths class where the logic is completely made up and our calculator apps are clearly broken. We tackle a brutal listener hypothetical: you get $200,000 for every 5kg you instantly put on. Sounds like an easy win, but it took us five solid minutes of screaming, wild recalculations, and total brain meltdowns just to figure out the math. If you want to feel incredibly smart about your own basic arithmetic, you're going to love this absolute trainwreck of an episode. 00:00 – The World Cup of Countries: Down to the final two! 01:03 – Radio's biggest backstage legal battle. 02:02 – Meg’s "suggested" anger management class. 04:05 – Mailbox: A shoutout from Switzerland. 05:01 – Clint maps out his future geriatric soccer career. 07:44 – Maths Class: The weight-gain hypothetical that broke our brains.

We are completely spiralling after today's show, and honestly, you are not ready for where this conversation went. What started as a casual chat about the Disney movie Cars somehow devolved into Dan's naked escapades on a Portuguese nude beach and Clint's apparently "pendulum-like" situation. Yes, Meg actually brought our children's lives into it to prove a point about Clint's anatomy, and now we can never look at him the same way again. Plus, we are officially nominated for a Radio Award, but Dan might have completely ruined our chances of winning before we even step foot on the red carpet. We even rehearsed our acceptance speech, and let’s just say it gets incredibly messy fast. Grab your headphones, because this one is pure, unadulterated chaos from start to finish.

We completely lost our minds this morning over a wild hypothetical game called 'The Memory Trade'.

Hit play and join the group chat before it’s too late! 00:00 – The team breaks the search engines looking for a very niche adult podcast. 00:46 – A pitch to get Julie, Philippa, and Christine to host a mums-only breakfast show. 01:14 – Why there are no all-female radio shows and the secret behind successful podcasts. 01:51 – Meg introduces 'The Memory Trade' and Dan immediately stops listening. 02:44 – Dan chooses which year of his life he wants to completely erase. 03:22 – Dan reveals his ultimate driving skill fantasy (featuring Lightning McQueen). 04:12 – Clint breaks down his ultimate bedroom skill trade-off. 04:54 – Dan outlines his highly illegal, chaotic plan to join a Formula 1 team. 05:54 – Clint shows off his celebrity impression skills until Meg walks out.

In “More or Less,” they compare Spotify streams for solo artists versus their former bands (including Beyoncé/Destiny’s Child and Harry Styles/One Direction). Scandal headlines cover Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell praising Harry Styles, plus Niall Horan on the 1D group chat. Listeners win giveaways, discuss holiday-ruining mishaps, and try cracking the Neutrogena vault. The big reveal: Post Malone returns to New Zealand (21 Oct).

We went from zero to one hundred way too fast today. It all started with a simple country elimination and somehow devolved into whether Dan got drooled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo—or if it was something way worse. You are absolutely not ready for the rabbit hole we fell down trying to figure out if you can tell the difference between tiger spit and tiger jiz. To settle a separate argument about what a "chuff" actually is, we even ended up asking a medical expert a very questionable question. Plus, we put ourselves through a hypothetical lie detector test to find out if we're actually cool. 00:00 - Whipping out France from the country jar. 00:30 - The surprisingly real history of French kissing. 01:13 - Dan gets dribbled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo. 01:34 - The great tiger jiz vs. tiger saliva debate. 02:27 - What on earth is a chuff? (Spoiler: It has a lot of definitions). 03:10 - Can you get pregnant from anal sex? We ask a medical expert. 04:00 - The lie detector test: Are we actually cool? 05:15 - Meg's drumming skills and embarrassing BP moments. 06:12 - Why does Dan bounce when he walks and does Meg waddle?
