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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
