Clint, Meg, and Dan plug their spicier Overthinkers podcast before debating future AI robot partners and joking about robot features. They cover celebrity chat about Anne Hathaway’s “snatched” braid look and Tina Fey denying Timothée Chalamet manspreading beef, then run “Take the Edge Off” cash calls, giving Flynn $250 for a new vacuum and Mackenzie $500 for a...

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 D...

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the morning with Hook: The Musical auditions, with Dan going first despite a sore throat and delivering a serious, pirate-themed performance that impresses the team and listeners. They share Dan’s daily post-show bolognese pie habit, Meg’s parenting moment teaching the “three-second rule,” and celebrate longtime listener Marilyn’s clear bio...

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...

Clint, Meg and Dan recap Clint’s spontaneous night out at Five, while Meg shares her visit to the Wool Festival, meeting Granny McFlitter and buying wool for felting.

The show covers headlines including Ed Sheeran leaving Warner, an Off Campus Season 2 casting update, the Enhanced Games, an AI pet translatio...

Dan completely hotboxed himself in his own car over the weekend after hitting a very spicy medium butter chicken. Plus, Meg is being incredibly cagey about our final merch prize pack. 00:00 – Meg plays dumb about the final merch prize pack items. 02:08 – The crew unpacks their slightly awkward mystery promo boxes from Hayu. 03:52 – Six lines to absolutely ruin someone's day. 05:4...

Meg and Dan share a zoo trip where their kids become instant “besties.” The show plays a football-themed “More or Less” quiz, runs scandal headlines (Love on the Spectrum’s Abby and Stephen Co...

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,...

Clint, Meg and Dan  celebrate The Edge rating #1 in Christchurch, and take a hilarious first call from Dave the truckie, who claims he can suck air into his bum and fart it back out maybe even inflate a balloon. They discuss Jeff Bezos’ tax comments, run New Music Friday, and give away $200 petrol to a Hamilton listener. New producer Brady debuts Producer Diaries, Ollie Sail previews Au...

We completely lost our minds this morning over a wild hypothetical game called 'The Memory Trade'. Imagine being offered the chance to instantly become world-class at absolutely any skill you want—but the catch is you have to completely erase one whole year of your past memories. Wait until you hear the year Dan chose to throw away and the shockingly accurate secret talent Clinton wants in r...

Clint, Meg and Dan tease an embargoed tour announcement, chat a stacked NZ concert calendar, and Clint reveals a new Japan-inspired tattoo. 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 Styl...

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 argum...

On the Clint, Meg, and Dan Podcast, the team kicks off with talk of a 90s band quitting after 30 years, Clint’s tattoo update and marriage negotiations, and a “more or less” game comparing celebrity net worths. Scandal includes Phineas on writing for Billie Eilish and Paul Rudd’s teenage arrest story. They award “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash to help fund a da...

They play More or Less on extreme city temperatures, share scandal about AI writing and a young actress leaving the HBO Harry Potter series after season one, and discuss a reported leak of Pornhub Premium user data. The team fa...

Meg kicks things off with an absolute health anxiety crisis after her doctor dropped a casual "can't rule it out" bomb about a bump on her nose. Then things get totally unhinged as Dan reveals his wife has him insured for a casual $900k—making us genuinely concerned she’s going to push him down the stairs—and Clint literally loses his entire house to Meg over a basic geography de...

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday chatting Auckland FC reaching the grand final, the Warriors’ big win, and a zoo visit where Clint’s son names Meg after an orangutan. They share entertainment “scandal” updates, take calls from April about appearing on Face the Music, and debate when it’s fair for a coach to give their own child player of the day. The “Take the...

We tried to be wholesome for Pink Shirt Day, but it quickly devolved into Clint insulting Meg and Dan being compared to a 65-year-old movie villain. Throw in a stylist roasting Dan’s "naked piglet" shirt and a very awkward round of "Guess the Fart," and you’ve got a classic office spiral. You aren’t ready for this one. 00:00 – The "stupidest noise" stitch-up and the oily du...

It’s  Friday on The Edge with Clint, Meg and Dan as they celebrate Pink Shirt Day, debate Dan’s “peach” shirt, and share stories about invite-list snubs. They run a Blues-themed “More or Less” game ahead of interviewing Blues players Patrick Tuipulotu and Dalton Papali’i, who later help choose a Take the Edge Off winner. Dr. Helena Teede explains the...

I’m genuinely worried about Clint. He’s trying to “science” his way into his wife’s pants with a mid-morning text, so we put it to the test live on air. Let’s just say Meg’s husband had a very… efficient response. You aren't ready for the "helicopter" analogy—it’s pure chaos. 00:00 – The merch competition update: Who’s left i...

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off the show with their “take the edge off” cash giveaways and chat about Spotify turning 20 and revealing listeners’ all-time top songs. Dan shares an embarrassing park encounter while packing up his remote-control car, and the team surprises night-shift security guard Richie with a $500 Woolworths voucher via the Boost button. They discuss Meg’s on...

We’re diving into absolute chaos today after Meg decides Clint needs a "sexy" emo makeover with a brown eyeliner pen. Honestly, he looks less like Johnny Depp and more like a pirate who’s had a very rough night at sea. But the real drama starts when we unpack the mystery of a certain handprint left on a steamy shower glass—Dan, we all saw the demonstration, and the glove definite...

Clint, Meg and Dan kick off early with chat about Kiwi F1 driver Liam Lawson, then debate whether strangers should touch a baby after an elderly woman squeezes Millie’s cheeks. They hear from John, a protectional personnel officer who has worked for Celine Dion, and share scandal stories including Rod Stewart calling Donald Trump a “rat bag.” The team plays “More or Less&rd...

Clint’s algorithm has spoken and he’s ready to sell everything and move to Guatemala for a grand a month. We’re not sure if he’s actually leaving or if he’s just had enough of Meg calling Tom Hanks “Robert Gump,” but the wheels officially fall off when we try to imagine the show without him. Spoiler: Dan as an anchor is a total car crash you have to hear t...
