The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS broken cameras

Episode Date: June 10, 2026

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

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. The podcast has started with a used to have a shit once. People don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I feel like I've improved massively with my positivity and my attitude. So, oh, welcome to Philippa. My mum now listens to The Overthinkers podcast. Oh, morning, Philippa.

Hopefully you're feeling better after your car accident the other day. I was just very concerned about you, my darling. Yeah, but again, Meg's attitude comment just before, it's all about perspective. Yeah, I'm just happy that she's... Could have died, didn't. How lucky is Meg? How lucky is her mum? Truly, though. It could have...

You know, could have been much worse when you're in a car accident or or somebody else could have been majorly injured, but everybody was safe and okay. What sort of car does Philippa have that was crashed? A Voxie. A Voxy? Yeah, it's like a minivan for all her crafts. Oh, no, did she crash your minivan? Like the ferry?

Not the bus. No, she's got a bus and a van. Oh, bless her. Oh, bless her. She's going to be trying to drive the bus up from Wellington. to Auckland for Daisy's fifth birthday in October and I just don't know if it's... Break it up, a couple days. I just don't know if it can make it.

By the way, Clint McGin Dan, we do a radio show and this is a little bit extra if you want some more. I'm sure you already knew that, unless you've stumbled across us for the very first time, like Meg's mum has. You're going to learn a lot about Dan. Yeah, we do a lot of stuff on this podcast, don't we? Which is regrettable.

Yesterday, I managed to lay on Meg's breast while I pretended she was my mother. And you were a baby voices. Yeah, did baby voices. What do you want to say? I don't think she's seen it. She doesn't listen. And please don't send it to her.

Because, you know, this is the sort of stuff. She wouldn't give two shots. She wouldn't give, she wouldn't care. I love darling Hannah and she wouldn't care. She wouldn't care, but she'd also, I don't want her to think less of me, you know? Because it was an embarrassing moment. How little do you think she thinks of you already? I think it's pretty small already, Clint.

Right, so you can't afford to lose anymore. She's one of those, she's one of those ones that she sort of pretends to just not see stuff on social media. She'd be like, oh God, what's he doing? I'm just going to scroll past. Yeah, but she's got to also enjoy social media a little bit, because she loves money. And social media helps you earn a little bit extra with your little side hustle of influencing now.

Hannah, she couldn't care less what I do for a job. I could be like a world famous actor, like number one movie in the world. She'd still be like, when you're ending the dishwasher? She's that sort of, and I like that about it. You like that she just couldn't give two sheds. You know? Because I wouldn't want to treat it.

me any differently. Is she excited about the hook production though? She could take it or leave it I think, I think deep down if you asked her if she'd go, want to go or not go, she'd go, I'd rather not go, but if I have to support you then I will. I'll be a supportive wife, that's nice. How often did you randomly show up to the hospital when she was working there just to watch her do stuff? Never. Yeah, so that's fair then. Producer Carl? I was just wondering, it's probably like a little bit more behind the scenes,

but how have Megan Dan decided who gets the camera feed today? He said he's the more attractive one So he wants to sit on that side Oh no, I don't care But I just can't be bothered The after a little logging out of the computer What? Yeah, can't they just fix that?

Does it mean Is it just when we do this podcast Because obviously there's a video podcast That you can watch If you're someone that just consumes it Via audio, which I think is the normal way Most people listen to podcast But Meg's camera is the only camera

It doesn't work so it doesn't auto cut to her So you never get to see her Well no it doesn't auto cut But there is like a feed that's always on Meg So we just add that in after Also, if we're creating videos for Instagram, we'll pull those clips. But with something like this, no one can really be fun. Surely we have to get that.

It's something that's the end of months that it will be fixed. Hey, Carl, this is a real boring thing to bring up. It is not. It's not. You just want to see Meg. Yeah, who wants to vote? The people can vote. You can vote.

They shouldn't have to vote to see the most beautiful person on the show. Clint's always there. That's what I was going to do, the gag there. But anyway. Why don't you just, Pips is Rock? What do you mean? Of what? Do you want to see who gets the camera seat?

I'm not swapping. All I wanted to do is start a fight. I'm not getting up every day to swap around because the people that have controlled the cameras in this fucking place can't do their fucking job. Oh, I love this. This is when Dan's really serious. Sort it out.

And you don't even need to say much. He just rarks himself up. I'm not moving for some stupid fucking person that can't do their job. I don't care who it is. They need to sort it out. Move on. I quite like to that side of the desk, though. I must say when I try to use it.

Yeah, it is very good, actually. Okay, let's do something fun. Okay, I've written down a bunch of words on post-it notes. Dan's going to pull them out and hold them above his head so he doesn't know what it is, but it's only so Meg, you and I can both see the word. We need to get Dan to say the word, and we can form a sentence, but we can only do one word at a time. Okay.

You do one, I do one, I do one. And then Dan needs to work out what it is as quickly as he can. I reckon Meg and I are on a very similar wavelength, so I reckon we'll be good at this. Don't do that one because you can see through the cup. Oh, I hadn't even looked, but okay Okay, so you hold one up And Dan, you're trying to guess And Meg, we go word for word to try and help Dan

But we obviously can't say the word that's right out Okay, here we go, lifting up now Okay, he was in a fighting movie called Rocky Balboa, um, oh, Sylvester Stallone Yes, good. Okay, sometimes My dick wants to go in

This. Ais. The. What's he guesses? No, with mouth. Your mouth. Oh, okay. Okay, next one.

This is a very visual game. You know that, right, Clint? I know. People who are listening and go, oh, I think I know what it is. You had anus when anyone else said mouth. Okay. Creep. Sorry, Philippa. Oh, God, that's right, mum.

Okay. Clint? Has? Never. Not. Scored. In the thing that Dan has above his head. When people play football.

Yes. Daniel has small these. Balls. I'm going to sake. is small thing Okay Alright Dan

Did not live Next to Asian Oh Because my neighbour's an Asian man At the moment That's what I thought You meant

The man that makes all the noises Next door And he's going No growing up We should have said Growing up Dan lied about Growing up on a farm

Anyway Oh sorry That was yep Okay Sorry I thought you were talking About my current But there weren't any Asians Where you grew up

Because you grew up Like way out east of Auckland My neighbour currently, can I just say, start off on the bad foot because he was making lots of noises next door, I don't know what it was. I think he should just does like a lot of gym work. But God, they're lovely, they're bringing in my bins. Now I've started

bringing in their bins and they're so thankful. They're the best neighbours I've ever had. Community. Best neighbours I've ever had. And they don't expect much English, which is almost even a good thing. Dan loves them. Because I don't have to get in conversations with them. Anyway, next one. Okay. Dan wants to have sex with

this woman. She? Silesia. Yeah. I was just trying to think what you guys would write down there. Okay, next one. If you are in a desert, you will think you have seen one of these. Oasis. Yes!

Oh, wow, okay, that's an interesting one. Could have gone on the band route, but I was like, no, we're going desert. Oh, okay. I should. Motorboat Um Motorboat Um

Anyone Because I have Large And And because They Should we start a

I think you're not making sense And Because and Because And Because They are large And

Okay start again Dan Love's Running away from boobies I was trying to you just say there were nice breasts

my breasts and you were like large and I was like any other descriptive word fucking hell you're like oh I'm struggling how do we want more or is this over how hard is it to get a male colleague to sexualize me in this place I know God if only

oh there Overe thinkers Well there we go Speaking of that Dan actually Dan sexualized you earlier and you thanked him for it. It's a very interesting workplace. You know when you were talking about it.

I didn't mean to. If you have these like heated scenes with hook and musical, you said, sorry if you get a boner. And Meg said, oh, thanks, but. Yeah, he said, sorry if I get a boner if we kiss. Well, that's a real thing, isn't it? I think with actors in movies. And I guess you have to think about it.

And that's why a lot of sets, movie sets and stuff, have this What do they do? Whack it away when it happens? Well, they have an intimacy coordinator, don't they? That has to deal

with these sort of things happening popping up. Don't they say, I've heard this before. I don't know how many people use it, but you just say, hey, look, sorry if I do and sorry if I don't.

Yeah. Because Meg might at the end of a scene go, oh, what a kick in the face. I don't think any woman, I don't think any woman on a movie set is getting offended if you don't get a boner.

I don't think they're going, Megwood should be like, I gave you some of my best shit right there. and as a straight man you didn't even get a little aroused? Yeah, but because I was being professional. I reckon I could do a sex scene with the hottest woman in the world, and because I'm in character, I wouldn't...

But isn't the character getting turned on, or is the character that she's trying to hit on you and you're not into it? I'm having to focus on the performance. Yeah, and the performance should be that you're getting turned on. Yeah, because if you're about to get into the... I'm not method. There's a difference between acting and feeling exactly what the... So your hands are pretending that you're...

madly in love with this woman. Your lips are pretending, your face, you're breathing, everything about it, but your dick is the only one that goes, not me, man. Well, because that's a parasympathetic situation, isn't it? That is, you don't have control over that necessarily. That's what I mean, so if every other party of her body has been convinced

that you're madly in love and about to have sex with you not, why would your dick not join in? But you're not convinced, though, are you? Because I'm playing a character. But if you're a method actor, isn't it, don't you become the character? Well, that's different. Then that's different. Okay, so you don't do method acting. But I actually think method acting is very rare.

In fact, I saw an interview with someone who it was. It was a female, like maybe Charlie's Theron. And she was saying that only men. I remember that's weird. Yeah, it was. And it was only men that method act. Yeah. Because it's like this thing, like this power thing.

No woman in the acting industry is a method actress. It's because they, she's like, men walk around on set being like, I can be an asshole to everyone and not talk to them because I'm method acted. She's like, you'll never meet a woman who will do that and walk around on set pretending they're just a dickhead because their method acting, like they can go okay after that scene I'm done like how can I help? And I think it's a common

misconception you should know, Clint you've been in movies Yeah, no sexual stuff although I did have to kiss my girlfriend in the movie and my wife wasn't stoked about it. Oh really? It was a real excited kiss. It was like a character was an all-black, well actually it was a rugby player who made the all-blacks and he's listening to the radio

finds out that he's made the team via the selection on through radio and they just jump in and embrace and do like an excited kiss, which is, I think, one of the most, one of the least romantic types of kisses, excited kiss? Talk us through it, because we might have to kiss. So how did it go?

Did you talk beforehand? Did you have to practice? Did you just do one take? Did you do multiple takes? Never practiced. The first time we did it, it was rolling. Yeah. And I think we did the scene three times.

Wow. Did you change it up every time? Um, you change a little bit, but only if you get direction. Otherwise, if you just keep changing it, but like, no, no, no, what are you doing? Go back to what you're doing. It was fine.

We just, because sometimes I'll shoot again because the camera did move too fast or too slow. Or a word wasn't said correctly. But I think it was just one of those excited kisses because of a congrats. It was a congratulations kiss. Not a, oh my God, you're like, no, come here, big boy. Wow.

Did you prep in any way, like brush your teeth? Oh, that's what I want from you, Meg, mint. Yeah, I'll do more to lots of minutes. Mints, like beef or mint? No, mint. Let's both have a, like, couple of mints. before we go on stage. Meg would be such a team player

as a vegetarian, she ate mints. Dan asked me. It was a weird. It was a weird request. I like the taste of mints, Meg. I mean, I don't know. You guys could so many mints. No smit, no kiss. You could flirt a lot in the lead-up

so that when you guys are on stage that burning chemistry already exists. We can't flirt. We can't flirt. It's like a brother and sister trying to hurt. Go on, give it a nudge. We can't flirt. We can't flirt. It's physically impossible.

Yeah, we couldn't do it. It's a bit of flirting tennis. Dan, you throw something out. Meg, you try and hit it back. You don't have to hit a winner, just knock it back over the net. Dan, little drop shot to me, she runs up, little volley. Nice sweatshirt. Wow.

You know where it looked nicer on the floor. Nice. Of your bedroom. I would also then take my jacket off. It might be warm. Well, if you take your jacket off, you know, I might flick my pants off. Okay. Well, then if you take your pants off,

If you could just put them somewhere on a chair so we don't trip up over them. But what if I wanted to trip up onto you? To fall on top of me, do you? And then maybe, for instance, maybe I fall so badly that part of me slips inside you. That would be rather quite a talent because I would want you to fall and slip inside of me. So what you're trying to say is you're presenting, are you? Here I am. Take me in.

take all of it. It's like two robots, take. It's like someone's got two AI phones and put them together and go to start talking. I hope you've enjoyed your first Overtinkers podcast, Meg's Mum. Thanks a lot. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Rover, Music, Radio, Podcasts.
