This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. We're recording this on a Thursday going into the long weekend. How good? Yeah, good to be here. We've taken the four days off after Easter, so we're actually going to be away for about a week and a half. You get none of us, you get a break from us,

and that's what Dan thinks everything, that makes things taste better, because you think Hot Cross funds should have the break. Well, there's a bit of a debate going on online, and you could pitch it on this. We'd like to have some feedback through the Oberthinkers on Instagram. But should a hot cross bun be offered all year round? Right, yes.

I disagree. Because apparently there is a traditional aspect of the hot cross bun. Apparently, traditionally, it was eaten on Good Friday as part of Lent by the Jewish community. It's almost around all year round because it ends up fruit toast. No, and you get it like two months before Easter. They hang on a month after. It's about a third of the year. But I think that's fine, like maybe a month before and a month after.

I get that. But just making them all year round, I think it's a bit of a... It's too much. I'm going to try and find one today and eat it. Yeah, because it's fun looking forward to a hot cross barn at Easter. Now they stuff in with custard and stuff. Which, again, is a bit of an abomination, isn't it? I don't like that.

I like the originals. We got some scent to us the other day, stuffed with what were those biscuit? Biscoff. You know? I do like the chocolate chip ones. Really? I'm not a raisin gone. Oh, you're a child.

Yeah. I am a child I don't like the raisins So yeah Oh well So all year round Is that word? I think so

We'll see what What the Podcasts think Yeah Message us always Everything is podcast Oh yeah Have we got any mail?

You got mail Anything new I could also go back I think we've missed some And see what we have Um We do have Kenna

That we got sent To join eat one of those Absolutely not We did get sent out Kinner, didn't we? Who sent that? Who sends Kinner? Any type of seafood, if you don't know what, if you're listening overseas and some of the places that we do get listened to,

Kinner is like, would you call it a shellfish? Yeah, and it's like a black, spiky, almost like sea urchin thing and the snapper will like break it open and eat the guts out of it. Sorry, Dan, I interrupt you, go on. No, I was going to say, they're really hard to, don't open it in studio, Carl, I'm seriously, I'm telling you now. Well, your nose is blocked, why do you care? Yeah, but it'll smell, it'll stink it out for the rest of the

people that are having to use it. There's no like ventilation in here. So the Kinner, I believe, is in a different name. Yeah, it is. It's in that movie the 100 foot journey. Oh, really? Yeah, you should watch a movie if you haven't. It's one of my favourites of all time. Experience the taste of the Chatham Islands from the comfort of your studio. Oh, so it's sort of a promo thing where they've sent us Kinner. Yeah. But it's nothing to do with Kinner. They said you put it into a shot glass and you just straight down the hatch. I don't know. I mean, it's a delicacy. I know the mouldy culture, it is very much a delicacy.

And around the world. That's how I learned about it, actually. It should have been from New Zealand, but... But a lot of things that are... A lot of things that are a delicacy, Meg, aren't good. Like, snails. I don't like caviar. I tried a proper bump of caviar over in Melbourne when I was with a client.

And that sounds like I'm a prostitute. I mean, I'm still like working with a collab with a brand. And they got me a bump of caviar where you have a shot of vodka and a proper... They call it a bump. A bump and caviar. No, it's a bump of caviar. That's actually what it's called. I was like, Jesus, man, I know we're on a podcast,

but I don't know if you can just be talking about that. Just try and do, like, most of the pinch nose, it was really embarrassing because I found it so disgusting. I just, I hate the year. You're so right, Dan. No one would have even been thinking about that, just because you were being nude the whole time, so no one was even fun of a lot.

Yeah, my clients. Producer-gal? There's another delicacy over in China, but you've got to be really careful with it. Bat, because that could, But you've got to cook it right for God's sake. Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah, that caused a bit of an issue, didn't it, when someone had some bat?

Slight hiccup. The pufferfish, if you don't prepare it properly, it can be really poisonous. Yeah, but that won't start a pandemic. Yeah, that's true. Just a little bit of feedback. Just to confirm somebody texts and say, Meg, I'm not sure if you were joking or not about having Hashimoto's, but I wanted to say I also have thyroid issues.

Not a joke, but we did laugh a lot. So if it's... Hey, McCoyote about Quasimoto and what's the Tekken character? Yoshimitsu. Yeah. No, no, that'd be a really weird joke to make. No, I do. Oh, Mick, can you pretend you've got like an autoimmune disease

so that Dan and I can make these old Tekken and quasi-moto gags? Yoshimichs. Okay, okay. Let's go into... Can I have some sad music, please, Clint? Okay, sad music. Okay. These are comments from people talking about their experiences

of how they treated their dads when they were teenagers and that they regret, but I have never forgotten. Oh, it's going to kill me. My dad was so excited to show me this shirt that he got and I was in a bad mood. I just brushed him off. I found a matching one in my size in the trash bin. Oh God, that's a dagger through the heart.

So dad got him and his daughter matching t-shirts thinking that she'd like it. He didn't tell her that he got her a matching one, showed him hers, and he thought she'd like it if she goes, Okay, Dad. That's heartbreaking. Yeah. This is probably slightly different,

but I remember my son was three-ish. And I thought too young to really have those big feelings. And he had done some artwork at Kendi. But they always do artwork at Kendi. And anyway, he brought it home. What my wife didn't realize was he hadn't finished it. So he spent like an hour like finishing it. It looks very similar.

But anyway, he'd finished it. Yeah. My wife got it and she must have been like, I have more artwork and binned it. And then my son went to put something in the bin, or maybe I was holding him or whatever, when the bin was open and saw his artwork. and just like burst into tears. And I've got a video of him in tears where

and I'm like, you're an animal babe and just filmed her being like, he made that for you and worked on him. So you didn't comfort him when he was crying? You just thought this is a good time to get out my phone. Bit of Insta, eh? Bit of Insta. Yeah, but a bit of those hits up.

That's not sad enough music for me. Give me something else. Come on. Yeah, that's almost a bit like scandalous music. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I want to really... Did they get worse than this? Oh my God, that was rough.

Okay, here we go. My dad bought a mind-want. Minecraft server to play on with us. Minecraft, if you guys know that, right? Yeah. I never got on it though. When I logged on a few weeks before he cancelled it, he had made me a house with a sign that said,

welcome home, and there was a full set of armour waiting for me in the game. So Dad was waiting the whole time to play with his kid. Wouldn't you? The more heartbreaking thing is they didn't go, hey man, because he doesn't want to give away the surprise going, I made like a house for us to go and check out, because then you ruin the surprise, I guess. I told my dad I hated him when I was eight.

And then when I got older, I learned that my mom had to hold him while he sobbed that night. Oh, God, my God. Okay. That's horrible. My dad really wanted to watch this movie with me. This is the one I told you before. And I said, sure, I'll be right down, but I forgot. And two hours later, I walked down for a water, and he was still on the couch waiting with the movie ready to play.

My dad has surgery to remove his cancer recently, and he had me as his emergency contact. And I asked him why he had me, and he said, you're the only one that answers my calls every day. Out of the siblings. Not something I did, but my brother and his wife have a daughter, and my dad was so excited to babysit. And then last minute, they changed their minds and my niece went to the other grandparents. I came home and dad was sitting outside crying on the porch.

Oh, God. All these dads. My dad asked me to help set up his new phone a few years ago. I said something along the lines of, Are you dumb after an hour of trying to help? His face and shoulders dropped, and he said, you don't have to be mean. I'm lost and I needed your help.

I was a teenager, I realized he'd never needed me like that before. I still cry about it to this day without thinking. Oh, this is really fucking depressing. It's all right. It's like, I'm welling up. I've got a harder fucking steel. Okay.

Let's see what else do I have. I'll never forget when he asked me to carve pumpkins with him and I forgot an hour later he was in the living room carving pumpkins just by himself. God, be dead. Say something. Just be like... Okay. This is a nice one.

To add some positivity, this is me and my dad after we planned a hike together. We made it to the top. It was slippery, but we kept going. I love my dad. That's great.

Okay, do you have memories of that? I remember as a kid, um, mom and dad never forgot it. And we thought we were all grown. We'd saved up our pocket money. And we said to mom and dad, right, we're taking you guys out for dinner.

Yeah. And, shut up, really? Yeah, and they didn't know where they were going. and we got all dressed up and we just told them like to go straight and left and whatever and I don't know he must have been like maybe 10, 11, 12

That's so cute And we pulled into the Georgi pie This is so cute And so we asked them like Get whatever you want and like shouted like Dana and paid for it with all of the coins that we'd say You're joking And I remember then

Why have you even told us this story? It's so cute What a beautiful story And then Dad wanted dessert and they used to do like a blue, I remember they used to do a blueberry pie with like a soft serve ice cream on top and I remember Bev and I counting out our money and realizing that we were short by,

it must be like 50 cents or a dollar. The greedy bastard would already pay for dinner. And so we had to go to mum, we're like, mum, do you have like a dollar? The mum gave us a dollar so we could get dad dessert. We never told them, so he thinks we'd come to all. Mum sometimes reminds us about when we took them out for dinner and it was like honest.

Now that we're parents, that must have just, can you imagine? That would have meant the world. Met the world. Yeah, yeah. I suppose you're still your parents' kid though. Like even if you're 30 or 40, you're still your parents' kids. So there are still times when you can recreate those moments.

Recently for my mum, I did one of those TikTok things. I don't know if you've seen it. They normally do it for children, but I did it for mum because when was the last time my mum got like a day organized for her birthday? Yeah, yeah. I made two little cards, and throughout the day she had to choose a car. and on the back of it had a surprise activity or a place where we were going to go.

So it was like a picker adventure where she got to go. We got our nails done together in the end and we went to a certain cafe. One of the cards was which cafe to go to for breakfast and all these little bits and pieces. She said it was the best birthday she'd had. Which is really nice. And she turned 69 and just kind of reminding me that you still...

What's fucking wrong with you? Honestly, Clint, we've gone from there and she said a number, a fucking number. 69. And he's gone, oh, yeah, fucking coitus. fucking like oral coit. He's gone, oh yeah, fuck yeah. He's eating her out and while she's sucking him off.

What a fucking pig. What a pig. That's disgusting, Clint. That is. You're at your worst today. That is his brain. Anything sexual trumps anything else. Even a tiny thing sexual.

I'm going to a lovely story about my mum. I just Googled poem for a parent to start reading out. And he comes out with that fucking coitus film. What I googled is being blocked. on my work computer. Gross. Honestly, you were the horniest man I've ever met. It's the hornyest little...

Guys think of sex once every nine seconds. Not during when you're talking about parents that are fucking, like, lovely! And when it had tears in their eyes? My brain was like, oh, it's gone too long. I don't know, sorry, I just... So you don't want the poem to all parents? It's kind of over now.

Yeah, it is. Sorry about that. Yeah. Nothing about 69ing, in it? Today on the Overtinkers podcast We're overthinking Well the Artemis has launched And they've gone off to swing around the moon

They got to take one Swing what they were to fuck If I was trying to make it A whole different moment Fuck me I was like There's only one woman on that missions They're all straight boarding

Oh no carry on No If I was that woman I'd keep that spacesuit on tight You are... I'm kidding. You don't know. I mean, everyone loves...

What is it? Voyeurism? Likes having sex outside? Not everyone. I mean, people like that. So imagine that, saying, where's the craziest place you've ever had sex? And you'd be like further from Earth

than any humans ever been. It would be a great story. Trying to change the subject. Anyway... I did try. Dan, you saw me try. I tried. You tried, yeah.

Okay. Right. They get to take one personal item. It must fit in their pocket. What are you... Oh, Clint. No, we can't do it. You can't do that.

space. No, you can. I'm going. Honestly, I'm going to the bathroom. Yeah, that's a shame. And Meg, good on you for that. Good on you for that. Oh, yeah.

Oh, don't be a buzz killer. Yeah, now, Clint. Do guess the fart. Now, she'll get pissed off that she missed it. Oh, yeah. But it's not Friday. Yeah, but it doesn't matter. We may as well do it.

I think you're going to have to step in for me. He's a part what that's now. He's taking cuticles for just, Harry Stiles. Get going, Dan? Okay, well, Clint, I think it's going to go. It's hard when I got to do wheeze because I've got to push and out. I feel like we haven't done it in a while. This is this the first time I've done it in a few weeks?

I think we did last, right? I think you're going to go. A bit more, a needier. Do you want to have a guess? I'd love to, Dan. I reckon it's a windy one. Okay. Oh, Jesus, okay.

All right, here he goes. It's hard when I got to do wheeze because I'm going to... Oh, he's struggling again. Fuck you, Neipia. Yeah, chicken dinner, mate. How good? See you later, guys. Have a good Easter.
