The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS Clints pendulum
Episode Date: May 21, 2026We 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, and now we can never look at him the same way again. Plus, we are officially nominated for a Radio Award, but Dan might have completely ruined our chances of winning before we even step foot on the red carpet. We even rehearsed our acceptance speech, and let’s just say it gets incredibly messy fast. Grab your headphones, because this one is pure, unadulterated chaos from start to finish.

This is a podcast from Rover.
This is the Overthinkers podcast.
I think we were just doing quotes from different movies.
Dan, yeah, just a one-man show.
Well, I was just for Meg and I.
I think we even talked about it on yesterday's podcast.
We're talking about Cars, the Cars Disney franchise.
And I've only just really got into it because I love Cars and I've tried to get my son to watch it, George, who's two.
And we've watched the first two together.
He fucking loves it.
Now he just lives and breathed.
Like, lives and breathes cars.
Do you know, every time I go over a newly tar-sealed road, and it's so...
Oh, yeah, you think about that scene.
Cars, yeah.
Oh, my gosh, Lightning McQueen Road.
Husband's favourite era was when Daisy was into cars.
She still wears the card.
You can get really cool cars, t-shirts and merch that look like, you know, racing car.
Yeah.
I got one.
Oh, they're matching.
The old piston cup.
I got one of those when I was in Universal.
Yeah, it's epic.
And I didn't realize, because I've been doing Michael Kane impersonations for years now.
I didn't realize that Michael Kane, well, okay, put a bat,
My Movies is also in
Cars, the second movie.
He plays the detective,
like the spy, doesn't he?
I don't want to bring the mood down.
Oh, oh, sounds like he's about...
Oh, he hasn't passed, is he?
Who's past?
Is Phil Collins alive?
I'm Googling it.
Phil's fine.
Michael's fine.
I don't think Phil's fine.
I saw a video from the other day.
He's not fine.
I can't think about it.
I know it's coming.
I can feel it's coming.
I love him too.
Megan, I love Phil.
Meg, you forgot to pull a country
out of the jar yesterday.
So we're going to have to do it.
double pulling today.
Have you ever done a double pull?
Do you know what, Clint? I've never done a double
pull. Okay, well... Is that what they call a Dutch
rudder or is that something else? I've never
done a double pull. I'm just like
rubbing your tummy and padding it at the same time.
So there are only like
six countries left, I think
in the running to win a Clemega Day merch pack.
You have to be someone that subscribes to this
podcast from that country.
At the end, if you're the last one standing... I still don't know what's going to
go on. Canada's still in there, and I
I think they're a favourite to win.
There'd be plenty of people, I think, in Canada that listen.
Okay.
We have lost.
Cook Islands.
Oh, no.
In Portugal.
Oh, no.
You're a lot's hometown.
Yeah, Portugal.
Was she born there?
No, she wasn't born here, but her dad, she's born in New Zealand, but her dad is from Portugal.
Like, he's Portuguese through and through.
Still talks Portuguese.
Like, he's, yeah, loves it.
I love the tarts.
Did they go to Nandoz?
Oh, Portuguese tarts.
You've never had a Portuguese tart until you've been to had one in Portugal.
it's so different.
Really?
Yeah, I lived on the mum we were there.
We went there for a month a couple of years ago.
The last time Dan was in Portugal, I'm just getting flashbacks.
We made Dan get naked at a nudie beat.
That's right, and everybody else was nude.
So it was actually very freeing, because I've always got a little bit of body confidence issues.
I'm not confident when I'm nude.
Even when I'm around my wife sometimes, I'm like...
Oh, that's a shame.
Yeah.
No, no, I don't want you to feel sorry for me.
But I'm just not the type of person that takes my clothes off in front of people.
But because everybody was nude.
this nude beach.
It was actually quite free.
No one was looking at each other.
And there was different shapes and sizes.
Like there was people like old fat people, old skinny people, young skinny people.
Honestly, honestly, honestly.
You definitely got naked?
100%.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I...
That was quite early on in a friendship.
I covered myself as I got up because I started laying down and I remember sort of rustling
my pants off as I was sitting down and then laid face down.
Yeah.
And then you guys, I think, asked me to go into the water.
Yes, we did.
And then I went into the water and I cupped as I walked in.
Oh, so no.
You didn't just hang it out free?
No.
Not once.
Send him back.
Send him back.
I'll go to Portugal again for that.
Yeah, because it is one of those things I think if you've ever done a nudie run
because that's what happens in sport if you don't score at the end of the season.
If you don't get a goal, you end up doing a nerdy run.
Or if you even just like doing, I mean, Dan, you'd never done one.
Hence why you came around to my house through a skinny dip.
Skinny dip, that's right?
I think once you get past that initial like 10, 30 seconds maybe,
and then all of a sudden it's like just very careful.
free and just running around.
Yeah, it is a nice feeling.
I did it at the gym.
I remember this is another thing we did for radio
where I went to my gym and you guys told me
live on air to take my pants off
like in the changing rooms, remember?
And I walked from the shower to the like cubicle naked.
Oh, because yeah, there are a lot of old dudes
who were just doing naked walk around.
I had a guy at my gym, he was like nude
and he was like talking to me.
Well, he was naked.
I was like, get a towel, bro.
Yeah, I don't think you should ever make eye contact
or start a conversation naked.
No.
You have to have a lot of confidence for that.
We're obsessed with getting you.
you knew.
I know, but also, when was the last time you were nude, Clint?
That was when we went to Dunedin, and you, like, played rugby with a lot of boys naked.
No, okay, so we did the sneaky, streaky squad.
So we streaked a rugby game that was being played because we wanted to streak a game, but we didn't want to get arrested.
That's right. That's how I did.
And then the problem was, rather than the boys been like, oh, gross, they turned instead of trying to chase and tackle us.
Brilliant.
And I was, I don't want to be on the ground tackled no.
I'm stuck there in a vulnerable position.
And when you get tackled, bits fly everywhere and parts of your body become visible that you...
Bits were flying.
Yeah, no.
Bits were flying.
They wouldn't have been anything to tackle you, really, would they?
It was running away from me and I could see the knob of his dick on either side of his thigh.
What ever.
100% on my child's life, you were running away from me.
And that's how I realized how big your dick was, because I saw the tip of it swinging past your thighs every time.
Like a pendulum.
Yeah.
My goodness.
I don't know.
I'm going to sit up a camera and do a run and see if I can...
Off we go then.
And you weren't running like this, like swinging your hips.
Like, you know, like, because that's what I imagine.
Most people would do.
How do you run?
Like that would have been less like, like you'd trip over.
It was crazy.
Oh, good on you, I guess.
How does Jamie not in a wheelchair if that's the case?
Well, she's never had any other.
Yeah, yeah.
She's a one and done.
Wow.
Yeah, I was her first.
God, poor girl.
And we waited to where I'm married.
She would be stuffed if you guys ever got divorced
Well no she's stuffed when she's with him
I just mean like I don't think
I think she'd be quite shot because she's not
I don't imagine a woman who has seen many in her life
Because she doesn't watch porn as far as I imagine
Well the thing is it sounds like she's had perfection
Hasn't she? You know she's had that she's she's gone straight in
With Dwayne the Rock Johnson
You know before going with Rick Moranis
Yeah well luckily you guys will stay to get the proof
And that's all she'll know about
And honestly that was the best $50
I ever gave Meg to start that rumor.
He always says that. He always says that.
Yeah, actually, it's funny, because I remember
the other day, I still have your soul.
That's right. Meg, we're talking
about it, and she was like,
I'd never sell my soul, and I was like,
how much do you want, how much were you give me for mine?
She's like, ten bucks, I said, deal.
So I just wrote down, this is Clint's soul, sign it,
gave it to me.
Like, it was a proper, it wasn't just like that, it was a proper,
I wrote it out properly.
Oh, Meg, no, Meg ended up, like, burning all the pages,
like it was some fucking treasure map or something
from, like, the old day.
That's a very interesting thing for a man of faith
To do.
Because famously you did go to the same.
They're going to. It was a Simpsons episode. It was a
Simpsons episode. It was like, it was so crazy that people think you can give someone
your soul by just writing it on a piece of paper.
But you know, you saw Bart Simpson. He was only one rowing by himself.
Millhouse had his soul with him.
Chief Wiggum, son. And the Simpsons are notorious for
talking about things that come true. Aren't they?
They very much. Yeah, they predicted 9-11. They predicted the Trump presidency.
So when Meg dies, she's going to be rowing.
with Meg and me.
And I'm going to be on my own.
God, you'd need a big boat for all four of you.
It's going to be...
Well, three.
No, two of Meg.
And my soul.
Oh, it's just one of you.
You still need a bigger boat than most.
Why does Meg's boat need to be so big?
Because there's three of them.
And she's...
What do you mean?
Well, most people will be in a two-person boat anyway.
So you're saying...
Why does mine need to be extra large?
Just for one extra soul.
Chris Clint's on board.
Oh, thanks.
So you're saying I'm swall?
Maybe I forgot.
It's so funny that guys love being called big.
Girls, not so much.
Still happens every show.
Oh, but it does somehow.
Oh, Clint brought that up because I was very innocent in that.
What are you guys going to wear to the Radio Awards?
I've just bought my outfit.
Oh, when is it?
The Radio Awards.
Oh, for goodness sake.
I wear the same thing every year, this whole suit.
Oh nice, okay.
Yeah, I just wear the same suit.
I'm not a big fashion guy when it comes.
I know one year Clinton and I went and we got cut it out, didn't we?
Should we try and get that again?
Oh, that's right.
We went to some YD.
Did we go to YD?
I think it was, and they looked after us.
Yeah, do you still know that.
But then I got carried away and I bought another suit
because I couldn't decide if I want a grey or like sat in black.
Should we try and get some Barker's suits?
Yeah.
How do you do that?
Because Clint always seems to wrangle this sort of shit.
How do you do that?
I'll just flick an email, I suppose, to the whoever's the marketing manager?
You do that.
You do that.
Was it the TV Awards?
Was it radio?
I decided to wear a suit jacket
with no shirt underneath.
Yeah.
Interesting choice.
How do the big celebrities, you know, like the...
Who's the big celebrities we're talking about?
You know, like the Brad Pitt's of the world.
Stilist.
Yeah, the store.
How do they get these big companies like Gucci to dress them?
Yeah, silas.
Do they email them and go, hey guys.
Brad Pitt here?
Yeah, Brad Pitt here.
Just going to the Oscars.
Hit me back, Brad Pitt at gmail.com.
Everyone have dressed me.
No, that's your stylist.
So you get a stylist, and the stylus has the contacts.
And they go, right, this.
season I've got Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, and then Prada will come back and be like,
we'll make it for Brad Pitt and we won't for Clooney, which would be stupid.
Sadd.
Yeah.
And I bet they charge through the roof, the stylists.
Yeah, there are lots of stylists that will, more celebrities that will come back and be like,
I couldn't get, nobody wanted to dress me this year.
But the thing is, no, they'll say that on the red carpet.
Oh yeah, people will say that.
And they're, especially like plus-sized women, nobody wants to dress them and nobody will make anything
for them.
So I know there's one Christian Serrano who makes.
who's literally you'll see any plus-sized woman on the red carpet
he has made their dress because no other brand will make them
bigger than a size.
Wow.
Like eight.
So he came in and he was like,
I'll fucking make your dress and he's like incredible,
incredible at making clothes.
Yeah, that's interesting, isn't it?
But amazing, right?
You're having a stylist's going, hey, we couldn't get anyone.
I'd be that.
I'd be like, I couldn't find anyone to dress me so I'm wearing farmers.
So embarrassed.
Red dot.
Yeah, I got a red dot.
I think this is a red dot sale last week.
Catman do.
I think from March last year.
I've got some red dot sale undies on.
These are red dot sale for shoes.
Yeah.
Yeah. Your wife would make you something, I reckon, Clint,
if you had to go a red carpet.
Yeah, yeah, she does normally, like, whip up something from scratch.
Oh, Blentzy-Iager dressing.
God, if Clint had a red carpet, you would get so into it.
What would you wear for a red carpet, do you think?
Would you go, because I think you should, as your friend,
go just for a beautiful crisp suit.
Like a tux.
Yeah, but a nice colour.
Something different, like a maroon, something slightly, you know, not just black.
Or you could go like Heidi Clem and dress up like a big worm.
Oh, I do like a dark like forest green.
Yeah, that looks nice on.
Maybe a black lapel or something.
Yeah.
Oh, go on.
How about back is off you go.
Email them now.
On behalf of us both?
Yeah, and just go, hi, it's Clint here from the Edge.
I'm going to the Radio Awards this year.
I'll say, I'm a stylist for Clint and Dan.
Good.
On the Edge.
Yeah, yeah.
That's good.
That's nice.
I've got my fake email if you want to do that.
You don't do that from Cliprandall.com.
Actually, my wife's a stylist.
I hear her to do it.
She's styling like Women's Day.
shoots and other fashion
things and stuff. Clint, come on.
Fuck, that's the d'Ine, I didn't think of that.
I literally just bought mine.
Don't tell her about me.
Yeah, because she's got, even like when she did the
25 year anniversary for
Shulman Street, she had to style like
25, 30 of them. That was a mammoth one.
But yeah, she's got all these contacts for all these
New Zealand designers. Because hit the spot is
nominated, so the three of us might even get to go up on stage
if we win, so we need to look good.
Oh, is that for the blackie?
Yeah, I think there's out of the wards.
Because you don't go up on stage.
What do you go up on stage for?
Blackie, you go up for the Bakke.
Oh, Blackie, you do?
So, what was his first name?
Kevin Black.
Kevin Black, yeah.
And so he was a real prankster,
and so they've dedicated a whole award to Kevin Black called the Blackie.
Here we go.
It's the best moment in New Zealand radio.
And the Blackie Award goes to,
hit the spot.
It's Clint McGinn Dan.
Come up on stage, guys.
That's people clapping and screaming.
All right.
The audio guy who's meant to play music when you come on stage and sort of drop the ball.
Don't worry, I'll do it.
All right, we're up on stage.
Dan, you have to lead.
Hi, guys, thank you so much for this.
It's a real honor to be in the room
with just such incredible people.
I can see you, Mike Hosking, you know, everybody here.
I just want to say, let's get more women in management.
I know that this industry is, you know,
there's not enough women leadership here,
and I just really want to make a stand right now
and, you know, thank God
and get more women in management.
Thank you.
Hey, I just wanted to open up
my notes app and read out some of the things that Dan has called me behind the scenes.
Oh, I'm just going to come over. Sorry, Meg, the mic's turned off.
Oh, sorry. That's all right.
Meg can use my mic.
Meg, you were saying?
Sorry, when Dad said get women and management, he has also said to me, you could eat a whole
picture.
Hi.
My mic's still on.
No, what the fuck would we do?
I don't think I'd say anything, if I'm honest.
I think you guys should do it.
I just go up and say thank you very much.
I, like, part of me wants to.
Because I feel we're saying thank you.
When I'm just stat, well, I don't do any, you know, we don't do much.
I mean, you do more than me.
Yeah, I just pull it down and back up, really.
I know, but I think it's a time for us to all say, you know.
You better think it's something, though, because I don't think it's right that
Meg and I would come forward and steal the spotlight and say anything.
So don't look to us for anything.
You've got to make sure you've got something.
I will have something, but I'll go, I couldn't do it without you, Clint,
and you've just been so instrumental in bringing up the fader at the right time.
And I can't be up here without mentioning Carl,
Carl our producer, who is always there loading in the audio,
he's such a great producer.
And of course, at last, but not least.
You, the listener, who support me every time.
And you've just been such an incredible support to me.
I would say, thank you very much for this award.
Who would have thought, out of all these men in this entire room,
Dan has hit the spot more than any of you.
And I go, thanks for that, Clinton.
I owe you $20.
Then we leave.
Although, sorry, I just forgot to mention.
my mum who raised me
Meg, do you want to say?
What about?
There's been a certain woman
that you've worked with on the show as well.
Sharon Casey, I worked with her for many years
as a, as a
like I was a producer for her,
she taught me a lot of stuff.
Any other woman that's been involved
specifically with this one?
Ash London.
That's right, she was, she is on this award.
Yeah, she covered for Meg on her maternity leave
and what an incredible job she did.
So yeah, I just want to shout out to her.
She was involved in a lot of the match.
Also, and you know what?
Yeah.
We have them as someone.
Shout out to Meg, this is her first ever radio award.
Fuck it for my first ever radio award for something that I just literally stand there and smile for.
I don't think I'm even saying a word in it.
I can't even say a word in it.
I know we're jinxed by doing this, but actually that'll be at Meg's first radio ward is Dan.
And she comes up to speak and they'll start playing that music.
You know, you have to wrap it up.
Honestly, I've got nothing to do with hit this.
spots and I don't like...
You know, you sit there and look beautiful and you scratch, you know what?
What makes hit the spot?
The reactions.
It would be nothing without the reactions and you give a great reaction, Meg.
I think I've got the weakest reaction out of the three of us.
I wasn't going to be, though, just say it.
Guess the fuck.
After all that, we probably won't win anyway, so pointless.
Yeah, we drinkster, I think.
Okay, here we go, Clint.
Okay, that hot girl's not here this week, so I'm less nervous.
That's right last week if you didn't listen.
Fuck you!
Honestly, I'm
sorry.
Sorry.
I don't have two hot girls in studio
so I'm not as nervous this day.
You are hot.
It's just that we are so, like,
we know so much about each other.
We're desensitized to your hotness.
Yeah, yeah, that's very.
And likewise with you and Clinton night,
you don't find either of us hot.
Yeah.
Sure.
Anyway.
Don't find you hot.
Well, you won't in about 30 seconds from now.
Yuck.
Unless you've got a weird kink.
No.
Okay.
I'm going to table a card.
Here we go.
I reckon it's going to be,
I'm just going to go with my normal
because it's always this.
He's been doing longer ones recently.
Not last week.
It was a bit of a pathetic one.
Fucking out.
He's got a fire engine up there.
Jesus Christ.
He's not a high ones before.
Okay, here we go.
I haven't had any lunch.
So I don't feel...
Well, it's fucking 943.
Yeah, that would be why.
Fuck it.
It's like, fucking, oh my God.
Honestly.
Let's get a lot of ticket, Dan.
incredible with your anus that you can
fucking make play it like a trumpet.
Yeah, what an asshole?
Sometimes I do squeeze it in a way to try and help you win.
Sorry, Meg.
That's all right, mate.
See ya.
Catch you next week. Love you.
