Dom, Meg & Randell Catchup Podcast - The Edge

We’re diving into absolute chaos after a listener mail question about our work hours sent us down a wild rabbit hole! From mouse pads and hotel curtains to Dan’s outrageous confession about a self-inflicted direct hit to his own face, we completely lost it. You're not ready for this!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday with Warriors banter, Meg’s headphone mishap and a chaotic craft “haul” interrupted by her kid. They plug the Overthinkers podcast and replay a wildly inappropriate Would You Rather involving Dan calling his mum. The show covers Charlie Puth on opening up in music, chats with a tow-truck driver about towing rules and dating apps, and Dan’s looming security meeting after clicking “copy files” while booking a spray tan. They discuss accidental Instagram likes, play Easy Money twice, share outrageous real-life names, recap weekend stories (Bigfoot sightings, Lotto winners, Twirl vs Flake), and Meg speaks candidly about eating disorders and Ariana Grande imagery. They also debate whether mum or partner gets the front seat and start writing a Gisborne “Postcode Playlist” song. 00:00 Welcome to the Group Chat 00:21 Warriors Win and Jinx Talk 02:00 Craft Haul Chaos at Home 04:49 Martini Glass Debate 05:50 Overthinkers Pod recap s09:16 First Time Caller 13:22 Naughty 640 17:20 Instagram Accidental Like Panic 20:31 Easy Money Letter N Challenge 22:49 Dan Loves Unique Names 29:29 What ya got 33:44 Bigfoot And Twirls 34:08 Ariana Body Talk 39:07 Front Seat Debate 45:00 Easy Money 47:57 Postcode Playlist Returns 56:03 Commonwealth Games Recap 59:52 Lost To Weird Hobbies

We ended up in absolute shambles after night-show host Lucy dropped by the studio and left behind the most stomach-churning "gift" on Meg’s desk. Things spiraled out of control so fast that we ended up calling Dan’s mum live on air for a deeply uncomfortable "Would You Rather" scenario, and let’s just say her answer left all of us completely speechless. You are not ready for how gross and absurd this gets.

Friday chaos with Clint, Meg and Dan: Dan celebrates a week off “obvious” sugar, they field an early caller confused about an R&V ticket giveaway date, and Meg finds old diaries full of cat-drawing practice while packing to sell her house. The team chats an 82–12 Roosters thrashing, a stat showing NZ leads in women in their late 40s never marrying, and Ben Affleck winning $1M for charity on Millionaire. They play Easy Money, vent “Things We Hate,” and reveal Dan’s Google history. Plus, they create competing alarm sounds (Karen “20 whacks,” a Morgan Freeman-style pep talk, and Clint’s chaotic entry), then debate Kmart’s $89 recording glasses and why receipts get scanned. 00:00 Unnecessary Podcast Intro 00:16 Friday Banter and Sugar Quit 01:06 Snack Comfort Confessions 01:43 Caller Confusion R&V Giveaway 03:26 Moving House and Old Diaries 06:17 NRL Blowout and Marriage Stats 10:29 Ben Affleck Million Question 13:33 First Caller Paris Proposal Talk 17:14 Naughty 640 Glue Revenge Story 21:02 More Or Less Animated Hits 23:54 Easy Money Letter K 26:09 Things We Hate Rants Begin 30:38 Listener Vents Ranger Drivers 32:01 Slow Drivers Rant 32:57 Pet Peeves Rapid Fire 33:48 Producers Diary Returns 37:51 Wahs And NRL Chat 38:27 Sport Roundup With Laura 43:18 Dans Google History 46:18 Easy Money Challenge 48:59 Greatest Alarm Quest t01:01:34 Kmart Camera Glasses Debate 01:06:23 Privacy Versus Convenience

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Thursday talking about not wishing life away and being present with kids, then hunt for New Zealand’s best wake-up sound with the Jurassic Park theme as a frontrunner. They share an Overthinkers clip about a woman finding her dad and discovering his explicit SoundCloud, before discussing allegations against Jared Leto. The first call comes from Amy in Queenstown, a new drug-testing worker. Meg panics over a mysterious computer mouse package that turns out to be her mum’s lost Airbnb item. The team covers banana disease, a Fiji shark attack survivor’s advice, and sprinter Zoe Hobbs’ Commonwealth gold, then play Easy Money with callers. Dan triggers a workplace security alert while booking a spray tan, leading into “glow up to blow up” beauty disasters, and they debate a controversial post-date voicemail demanding sex, plus stories about crying to get out of trouble. 00:31 Being Present in Life 01:49 New Alarm Sound Hunt 03:13 B-List Celebrity Debate 04:32 Lost Dad SoundCloud Rap 07:44 Jared Leto Scandal Talk 09:54 First Call Amy in Queenstown 13:40 Mystery Mouse Package 17:22 Radar Bananas Sharks Sprinting 21:43 Easy Money Letter V 25:48 Theyre a 10 But Game 31:23 Funny walks debate 32:31 Helpful husband annoyance 34:21 Spray tan security scare 37:43 Glow up to blow up calls 42:32 First date voicemail drama 51:36 Easy Money game chaos 54:54 Crying to escape trouble

We almost had to shut down the entire podcast today after Dan tried showing us his spray tan lines and gave the camera way more than anyone asked for. Between his developing fake tan, heated debates over electric mountain bikes, and previewing our unhinged new alarm sounds, things got out of hand fast. You’re definitely going to want to hear this one!

Meg found a video of a girl who tracked down her dad, only to find his SoundCloud loaded with tracks about taking off panties. Naturally, we spent ten minutes spitting our own wild sex-rap rhymes live on air. Plus, we broke down the absolute chaos of boys' weekends versus girls' trips. Trust us, you’re not ready for this.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Wednesday with Dan’s infamous hula-hoop “thrusting” training, a pact to stop doing open-mouth promo shots, and Meg’s fake-tan rebooking after realizing she wore tatty undies. They take calls on the nationwide cold snap (frozen pipes, refreezing windscreens) and play Easy Money for $1,000. Hazel Houland joins after winning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal. The team swaps “how did I get here?” stories, including a Vanuatu cruise mishap and a Vegas dice incident, then debates pretty privilege after a viral Usher stage moment. 01:40 Awkward Photoshoot Prep 02:53 Fake Tan Undies Panic 05:01 How Cold Is It 08:25 Spider Man Scandal 09:42 First Call Sheree 13:13 Easy Money Challenge 15:43 Wild After Birth Stories 23:20 Cruise App Disaster 25:46 School Bus Driver Detour 26:11 Waterfall Paywall Shock 27:59 Thailand Vape Arrest 29:26 Vegas Dice Assault 32:11 Howick College Remembers 35:52 High School Hall of Shame 40:10 Easy Money Game Fail 42:13 Hazel Ouwehand Interview 46:41 Usher Stage Rejection 51:14 Pretty Privilege Confessions

We thought we were interviewing the All Blacks today, but instead, we ended up reading a listener email from Graham that called Clint completely replaceable. To make up for it, Clint made us tape numbers to our foreheads for a game that spiraled way too fast into Dan asking about Clint’s ass, Meg rating her own looks, and Clint trying to justify drinking 79 beers in December. You're not ready for how out of hand this gets.

Clint, Meg and Dan reunite with the full team (minus Bella in Europe), swap stories about Dan’s less-than-supportive “vomit etiquette,” decode listener Paul’s emoji texts, and debate the weird appeal of Costco hauls, including massive grapes and bulk-buy storage problems. They celebrate swimmer Hazel Hourigan’s Commonwealth Games bronze and discuss butterfly stroke, then run Scandal headlines about Nathan Fillion’s Jason Bateman autograph prank and a teased Selena/Becky collaboration. A first-time caller from Timaru chats, followed by a cautionary tale about a family losing linked Google accounts after a teen’s explicit Gemini Live incident, sparking talk of two-factor authentication. They play Easy Money twice, interview a 12-year-old who mimics bird calls (including a tui), share mums’ bragging habits, cover a Dunedin concert halted by a feces biohazard, and finish with an A-Lister List ranking child stars. 00:00 Morning Roll Call 02:17 Costco Haul Chaos 05:25 Hazel Wins Bronze 08:51 Scandal Headlines 10:32 First Time Caller Sarah 13:05 Naughty Gmail Ban 17:21 Commonwealth Reporter Sven 20:06 Easy Money Game 22:27 Winter Sickness Remedies 27:18 Wild Cold Remedies 30:06 Joe Damon Returns 30:54 Catch Check Choose 33:55 Concert Biohazard Story 37:44 Easy Money Challenge 40:14 Bird Call Prodigy 43:23 Mums Brag Hotline 48:09 Child Star Rankings 51:22 Final A Lister Results

Dan is off sick looking after his family, but he's out here claiming he’s totally immune to the squirts because he has an "iron gut." We literally had to call him live on air to call out this ridiculous claim, and he insists he's never had them in his life! You are not ready for his absolute wild reasoning on this one—wait until you hear what his doctor supposedly told him!

Dan’s off sick as Clint and Meg battle winter bugs, recap Meg’s birthday and family weekends, and plug the unfiltered Overthinkers podcast with a chaotic kitchen-utensil-hands clip. They hit Marvel/Comic-Con headlines, take calls about freezing weather and marathon mishaps, and debate watering plants with menstrual blood. The show dives into “Beat That Coincidence,” including an Airbnb wall photo featuring the guests and a penguin mascot crashing an international penguin conference. They update Long Distance Bestie Island Fiji selling out to a waitlist, play Easy Money, share “blame it on the alcohol” stories, and roast Meg’s new steering wheel cover obsession at 36. 00:00 Morning Roll Call 02:01 Meg Birthday Wins 03:23 Kids Party and Footy 05:29 Overthinkers Teaser 06:47 Kitchen Hands Debate 08:33 Marvel Scandal 10:12 First Call of the day 13:04 Naughty Period Hacks 17:47 Marathon Period Talk 21:17 Ez Money 26:16 Beat That Coincidence 28:38 Penguin Conference Crash 34:26 Blame It on the Booze 36:30 Linda’s Birthday Video Call 38:31 EZ money 40:58 Bestie Island Fiji Update 44:31 Commonwealth Medals More or Less 47:07 Turning 36 Realizations

We are finally back together as a full crew, and things completely devolved from the start. Between Dan revealing his very unsettling dream utensil hands and Clint confessing to an impromptu mating ritual on a cruise ship stage, you are definitely not ready for this episode!

Clint, Megan and Dan reunite for a packed Friday show, hyping Long Distance Bestie Island (tickets on sale and details at bestieisland.co.nz) and the return of Hit The Spot. Dan declares he’s giving up sugar, then proves his new game “The Reverend” by identifying vehicles from live revs. The team crowns Sebastian as Canadian Club’s Biggest Crush, plays Easy Money for $1,000, and chats sport with Laura McGoldrick about the Commonwealth Games and Warriors. Meg reveals an Oxford MBA student is writing a paper on the show. They discuss side hustles, a controversial Zuru “Mini Mum & Baby Surprise” doll, a viral bird-call kid, and a Spanish-speaking pilot prank translation. 00:32 Show Return Banter 01:10 Bestie Island Update 02:11 G-String Debate 05:31 Dan Quits Sugar 08:31 Scandal 11:02 First Caller of the day 14:08 The Reverend Game 19:11 Biggest Crush Winner 22:42 EZ Money 25:10 Sports With Laura 31:33 Oxford MBA Study 38:59 Side Hustles 42:26 EZ Money 44:26 Bestie Island Fiji Details 50:47 Controversial Mum Doll 54:21 Bird Call Guessing Game 57:09 Pilot World Cup Prank

We’re back, and Dan has already spiraled after five mini doughnuts and banoffee pie. Between reading the exact same Cars book every single night and a major sugar overload, he’s officially had enough. Dan is drawing a line in the sand and quitting sugar live on air. Wait until you hear us try ringing Clint to break the news

Meg returns as Clint stays sick, sharing her daughter Miller’s first birthday and a brutal holiday week that included norovirus and Miller’s pneumonia hospitalization. The team launches “The Rev Rend,” guessing cars by their engine revs, correctly identifying a Toyota Estima and a Nissan Navara. They debate stinky workplace lunches after a Sealord campaign about eating fish at work, then attempt a viral Oreo-stacking-in-the-mouth challenge, where Cal fits nine. The show also promotes Long Distance Bestie Island in Fiji (from $2,900 with a $500 deposit, on sale Friday 8am) and hears callers’ “put your foot in it” moments plus extreme stories of what people did soon after giving birth. 00:00 Welcome Back Roll Call 00:30 Clint Sick After Holidays 01:31 Meg Returns New Fringe 02:21 Birthday Gift Chaos 04:18 Celebrity Scandal Chat 06:00 First Caller Paul Splashbacks 08:20 Reverend Guessing Game 15:16 Quickfire Word Game 17:31 Bestie Island details 21:53 Fish Lunch Office Debate 25:10 Oreo Challenge Begins 28:28 Meg Rough Leave Story 32:24 Foot In It Calls 37:53 Ez Money 40:19 Bestie Island Deal 44:20 Postpartum Daredevils

When a news story broke about amateur freestyle rap blowing up in Europe, Dan and Producer Carl took it as their personal invitation to spit bars live on air. It turns out that improvising over a beat is way harder than it looks, and the attempt spiraled into absolute chaos, absurd lyrics, and uncontrolled laughter ridiculously fast. You are definitely not ready for how off-the-rails this attempt gets.

Clint and Meg are away, leaving the boys to run the show as they preview the Commonwealth Games with Dame Sophie Pascoe, who explains what makes this year’s event different, how to watch on Sky and TV3, and what it’s like after retiring from elite sport. The team promotes Long Distance Bessie Island in Fiji and jokes about planning “activities” for the trip. Easy Money returns with callers taking on the fast-paced word game. They debate bringing celebrity haircut photos to barbers, including Dan’s Justin Bieber reference, and hear listener stories. The episode also covers Gus the long-stay SPCA dog being adopted, a push to adopt Sonic, Rhythm and Vines leaving Gisborne in 2027, and a final round of nightmare neighbor complaints. 01:14 Long Distance Bestie Island Promo 02:04 Planning Fiji Activities 04:17 Calling Out Clint Sickie 06:46 First Call of the day 10:37 Dame Sophie Pascoe Chat 15:32 EZ Money Returns 17:40 Haircut Debate 25:27 SPCA Chat 30:18 Long Distance Bestie Island 31:28 Planning Fiji Activities 33:17 EZ Money 35:36 Rhythm and Vines Moves 37:38 Pitch Your Town for R&V 40:57 Nightmare Neighbors Hotline

Clint and Meg called in sick, so Producer Carl and Dan decided to run their own investigation. Clint claimed he had a doctor's certificate, but after giving him a prank call, his suspiciously fine-sounding voice gave him away! Plus, wait until you hear how many Oreos Cal crammed into his mouth to shatter an internet record.

Clint, Meg, and Dan chat about a short-week Thursday and missing New Music Friday for Matariki, plus upcoming releases. Cal reveals 11.5 hours of phone screen time and shares a rabbit hole about eels traveling to the Sargasso Sea and mysterious breeding theories. They interview 82-year-old marathon-running, early-morning swimmer Don “Gaga” Alexander, nominated as The Edge’s Biggest Crush for his kindness and former-vet help. The show discusses high-security celebrity wedding invitations, long-weekend plans, CEO compensation “more or less,” and gives away “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash for a hotel room and a turntable. They debate Afterpay debt and share dramatic family bombshell stories, including DNA surprises, secret families, and a faked death misunderstanding.

A short-week Edge Breakfast packed with chat about severe NZ weather, a bizarre PR coincidence after tracking dog poo through the house, and Cal’s nine-hour Instagram Reels day. The team plays “more or less” on highest-grossing concert tours, takes calls about wedding plans and memorable number-plate skills, and crowns crush nominees like Snow Jackson. “Take the Edge Off My Life” surprises listeners with help for glasses and post-chemo dental repairs. They swap shocking alternative-toilet stories, awkward memorial mishaps, password-management hacks, and jaw-dropping tales of what partners did during labor, before announcing the Warehouse Club trolley takeover winner with a massive prize haul.

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.

Matariki Banter, Taylor Swift Wedding Rumors & Monday Morning Venting | The Edge Breakfast Clint’s away, so Cal fills in as the team chats Matariki plans, a bland kindy soup, and Taylor Swift wedding rumors before voting on a throwback track. They play a Rotten Tomatoes higher/lower game, take calls celebrating first-home wins, and “Take the Edge Off My Life” gives cash for a dentist bill and travel to see a long-distance partner. 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.

Every Caller Wins GTA 6 + Hook: The Musical Reveal, Freestyle Friday & Grand Theft Stress TestIt’s chaos on The Edge as “Every Caller Wins” kicks off, giving away GTA VI pre-orders to anyone who gets on air. Emily scores a copy for her husband, callers battle the “Grand Theft Stress Test” with wrong answers only, and clickbait stories include a gruesome pinky reattachment. The team also runs a GTA contract segment where partners negotiate chores, date nights, and coffee machines in exchange for uninterrupted gaming. Plus: a throwback track, Meg’s reluctant Freestyle Friday rap, town “too much of” chat, and a preview of the 38-minute Hook: The Musical video and backstage mic recordings.

Meg and Clint host without Dan, hype tomorrow’s “Every Caller Wins GTA VI” giveaway, and share Producer Karl’s tips for getting on air. They chat with Shantal, a fire dancer who’s had minor burns, and award her movie tickets. Scandal headlines cover Chris Brown paying $13M after his dog mauled a housekeeper and a Camp Rock 3 teaser. Meg quizzes Clint on athlete lifetime earnings and plays real-or-fake Michelin-star menu items. Paddy Gower discusses interviewing All Blacks coach Dave Rennie. Meg steals the boss’s EV for a GTA-style mission, and they celebrate Google Maps adding a NZ voice for Te Reo Māori pronunciation. 01:21 Dan Away Today 01:57 First Caller Fire Dancer 05:27 Scandal Headlines 07:35 Athlete Earnings Game 11:36 Naughty 640 16:28 Canadian Club Crush 20:01 Take the Edge Cash Call 22:21 Michelin Menu Game 26:34 Hook Musical Hot Mics 31:31 Paddy Fills In 37:24 Theyre a 10 But 41:40 Take the edge off 43:54 Girl Test Prank 47:38 GTA VI Mission 55:26 Kiwi Google Maps Voice

Meg tried a new online makeup hack this morning and completely stained her face a lovely shade of red-purple. We are spiraling, feeling exhausted, and questioning the genius of a side hustle that involves hiring a mysterious woman to ball her eyes out at your funeral. You are not ready for the absolute chaos we uncovered from our old internet comments

We are exposing our deepest secrets today, including a forbidden, highly classified workplace romance that genuinely almost started World War 4 with our rival station. We are talking secret movie dates, undercover car park meetups, and the exact moment a single photo blew our entire cover. Trust us, you are not ready for this chaos.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off July 1 with banter, tease Friday’s “every caller wins GTA VI,” and play games about Lego set piece counts and whether wild headlines are real or GTA-style. They give away movie passes, talk Hook the Musical merch (and Guy’s impromptu garage sale), and hand out “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash to listeners for a Scout Jamboree and a surprise experience for a dad. Meg confesses she prank-changed Clint’s email signature to include “model,” callers share extreme “psycho” revenge stories, and they swap school camp core memories and relationship “alpha” debates. 01:33 GTA VI First Moves 02:13 Lego Love And Plastic Debate 03:29 More Or Less Lego Quiz 06:54 Movie Pass Winner Alice 07:44 Scandal And Wonka Reality 10:19 First Call Acoustic Engineer 14:20 Naughty 640 18:37 Hooked Musical Merch Chaos 14:16 Take The Edge Off Call 24:00 Gorilla Glue Revenge Story 28:44 Dob In A Psycho Calls 32:21 News Radar Tough Times 32:39 Cake Shelf Life Hacks 33:00 Hazmat Sweet Heist 33:19 Trump Passport Confusion 34:37 Mustang Surprise Reunion 41:21 Hook Musical Prayer 43:31 Prop Fail Onstage 45:15 Audience Embarrassment Stories 49:07 Take The Edge Call 53:18 Bills And Alpha Debate 01:01:01 School Camp Memories 01:04:22 Camp Calls And Chaos

We brought OVERTHINKERS live to the stage for an epic pre-show celebration of Dan's childhood masterpiece, HOOK, The Musical. What started as a hunt through Dan's mum Julie's attic turned into exposing his cringey diary which is 20 years old. We also do one of our most famous or infamous podcast segments live, this is one you don't want to miss!

Clint, Meg, and Dan recap the live performance of “Hook: The Musical,” a script Dan wrote at 15, including minor onstage slip-ups, audience reactions, and the ad-libbed moment where Meg (as Smee) and Dan (as Hook) kissed. They revisit a pre-show live podcast where Clint performed “Guess the Fart,” discuss behind-the-scenes praise for producer Kyle and tech producer Brady, and take calls from attendees reviewing the show. The team shares pop culture updates, does Meg’s ongoing rap practice, debates the A-list status of Robin Williams, Serena Williams, and Pharrell Williams, and gives away $275 to cover a school camp cost. Dan also admits he was fined for texting Ash London while stopped at lights. They announce that on Friday every caller who gets on air will win a GTA VI pre-order. 00:25 Hooked Show Recap 05:13 Shoutouts For Crew 07:41 First Call of the day 10:58 Undies Ad Debate 13:09 Meg Rap Practice 16:58 Post Show Romance Talk 20:02 Getting Lucky Tips 26:29 GTA VI Giveaway Reveal 30:28 Hook audience reactions 33:04 Smee Steals The Show 35:36 Hook Musical Recap 39:33 Police Pull Over Karma 43:09 A Lister Williams Debate 51:05 Take The Edge Cash Call 55:15 Hook Highlights And Kiss 01:03:30 Friends To Lovers Calls 01:09:20 Watcha Got

We back! Absolute apologies for Friday's massive audio disaster—turns out we played "Guess the Fart" entirely to ourselves while you heard nothing, which is deeply embarrassing. Today, we are exposing Dan’s secret bad-boy weekend lifestyle, debating who the real office "dead weight" is, and trying to guess each other's weights. It gets chaotic fast.

Clint, Meg and Dan gear up for the sold-out debut of Hooked: The Musical at 7pm, joking about an all-day rehearsal, costumes, and a dreaded on-stage kiss. They recap how Dan’s teenage script was rediscovered and turned into a show, debate Clint’s “funniness” rating, and run Weather Watch plus a theater-themed quiz. Meg’s reluctant freestyle rap returns, Dan shares a wild lads’ weekend, and the team discusses tech mishaps. They audition narrators and pick Richie, then make “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, gifting cash for a portable dishwasher and a child’s mattress, and give away the final double pass with venue host Sarah. 00:00 Show Day Banter 01:03 Listener Hype Message 01:51 Hooked Musical Recap 05:30 Pre Show Nerves 06:34 How Funny Is Clint 09:52 Weather Watch Calls 13:53 Freestyle Rap Debate 16:37 Meg Tries Freestyle 20:13 Dan Bad Boy Weekend 23:52 Musical Trivia Game 27:07 Take The Edge Off 29:11 Laundry And Tidy Homes 30:52 Close Families Tease 31:08 Poo Knife Banter 31:23 Fake Tan Disaster 16:35 Radar News Roundup 37:09 Breath Hold Record 38:02 Narrator Auditions 40:45 Richie Nails It 27:17 Take The Edge Off 45:36 Show Night Nerves 46:31 Tight Ass Toby Text 50:13 Tech Stitch Ups 55:22 Tapac Theatre Chat 59:01 Last Tickets Giveaway

We didn’t think this episode would devolve into Clint demonstrating a "sneaky" game he plays with his wife, but here we are. Meg is completely traumatized, Dan is stressing over the logistics of a three-way, and a primary school math quiz leaves us all spiraling. You’re not ready for this chaos.

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with jokes, Freestyle Friday rapping that goes off the rails, and calls including Russell discussing a complicated relationship. They talk about artists playing new music live, then Naughty 6:40 turns to a study claiming 15% of young adults have had serious relationships with AI chatbots. They give away Take the Edge Off My Life cash, debate Meg’s falling-apart phone, and share listener workarounds for broken items. With Hook the Musical (written by Dan at 15) approaching, Meg’s husband Guy reveals boot-sale-style merch plans. A surprise wheel spin forces Dan to perform a Hook monologue and song live to the office crowd, drawing mixed reactions and listener support. 01:46 Coffee Catch Up 01:50 Kids Texting Crushes 04:23 Terrible Gift Wrapping 05:11 Relationship Status Complicated 09:28 Festival Booing Debate 11:17 Freestyle Friday Returns 15:23 AI Chatbot Relationships 20:15 Hook Musical Rehearsal 21:39 Sport Roundup With Laura 26:27 Meg Refuses New Phone 29:43 Old Woman Lawn Joke 29:56 Broken Stuff Workarounds 34:10 Take The Edge Off 36:30 Hook Musical Merch Hustle 41:22 Surprise Wheel Challenge 46:18 Dan Performs Live 52:56 Listener Reactions Support

We have officially spiraled. In this episode, Dan gets completely called out for a sneaky financial move against his own wife, while Clint considers completely cutting off his charity donations out of pure spite. Plus, we test our sanity with a chaotic impromptu speech generator that results in a massive argument about an imaginary "orphan bus." You are genuinely not ready for how fast this chat falls apart—hit play and join the madness!

Meg and Dan riff on moving to Christchurch as a commune, then try the viral Kiwi snack Perky Nana and argue over a listener-voted top five chocolate bars. Meg attempts an unprepared freestyle rap and the team decides to make it a daily segment, sparking a flood of rap-name texts. With Hook: The Musical four days away, they share rehearsal stress, merch plans and Meg’s awkward attempt to invite Dan’s former drama teacher. They also chat long-distance love, workplace MVPs like Larry the Downing Street cat, a pig predicting World Cup matches, and a “10 but…” dating flaws segment. 00:00 Christchurch Commune Dreams 01:51 Meg Tries Freestyle Rap 05:15 Obama Relationship Talk 06:56 Rap Names 09:07 Boston The Truckie Chat 13:00 Ice Cream Shop Drama 16:59 Hooked Musical Countdown 23:22 Take The Edge Off Cash Call 26:29 Larry Cat Downing Street 31:26 Listener MVP Stories 33:30 Spencer Pig Predictions 38:09 Hook Musical Surprise 00:10 Perky Nana Craze 48:27 Top Five Chocolate Bars 52:01 Top Two Reveal 52:25 Chocolate List Meltdown 52:50 Take The Edge Call 53:57 Winner And Cake Chat 55:53 Witchy Bone Broth 01:03:28 Notable Alumni Grievance 01:05:37 School Reaches Out 01:07:51 Your Biggest Achievement

We are completely spiralling this episode after going head-to-head over our actual reading ages, and it turns out Dan is basically operating with the brain of a 14-year-old boy. He blames his childhood ADHD, but we think he just needs to go back to school. You are not ready for how quickly this studio debate turns into absolute chaos, so come see if you can read better than us!

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off with banter about Clint’s negativity, then Meg shares a kindy pickup story where her daughter Daisy jokes “Mum, leave him” after hearing Guy call her away from a friendly sheep. They talk unromantic proposals, play a chocolate-bar popularity quiz, and get called out for looking bored during Meg’s postpartum sleep story. The show covers missed “Take the Edge Off My Life” calls, workplace theft confessions, and how listeners caught cheaters. They debate shows they’re late to (Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Outrageous Fortune, Yellowstone), joke about backwards caps as “kryptonite,” and hear about Kindness Collective accidentally distributing Vagisil as moisturizer, plus other workplace blunders. 00:00 Welcome Hump Day Banter 00:23 Clint Gets Roasted 01:18 Meg Teases Coffee Catchup 02:14 The Kindy Sheep Story 03:40 Daisy Calls Out Dad 5:10 First Call Maria Ring Talk 07:54 Worst Proposals Chat 09:08 Stinky Boo Chocolate Game 11:54 Naughty 640 R 16:24 Take The Edge Off Calls 18:12 Stealing From Work Confessions 28:29 How You Caught A Cheater 31:01 What You Watching Wednesday 37:37 Yellowstone Recommendations 38:50 Take the Edge Off 40:42 Backwards Cap KryptonitE 49:04 Vagisil Donation Mixup 52:42 Workplace Drop Ball Stories

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.
