The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS Clints pendulum

Episode Date: May 21, 2026

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, 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.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:26 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:00:53 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:27 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
Starting point is 00:01:44 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
Starting point is 00:01:59 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:23 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.
Starting point is 00:02:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:53 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:23 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.
Starting point is 00:03:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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
Starting point is 00:04:05 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.
Starting point is 00:04:20 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?
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:56 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.
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:33 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:19 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
Starting point is 00:06:34 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.
Starting point is 00:06:49 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:25 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.
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:54 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.
Starting point is 00:08:13 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.
Starting point is 00:08:25 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.
Starting point is 00:08:37 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?
Starting point is 00:08:48 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.
Starting point is 00:08:59 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.
Starting point is 00:09:12 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.
Starting point is 00:09:23 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.
Starting point is 00:09:42 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 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.
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:18 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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
Starting point is 00:11:47 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?
Starting point is 00:11:59 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.
Starting point is 00:12:11 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.
Starting point is 00:12:29 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
Starting point is 00:12:47 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:17 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
Starting point is 00:13:32 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:20 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
Starting point is 00:14:37 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
Starting point is 00:14:51 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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?
Starting point is 00:15:32 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.
Starting point is 00:15:58 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:25 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.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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...
Starting point is 00:17:01 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.
Starting point is 00:17:23 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. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
