This is a podcast from Rover.
This is the Overtinkers podcast.
Welcome to the podcast.
That is the real Dan behind the scenes that you just call out.
Oh, that's the damn we get.
You can't leave that.
It's actually ironic we started that because I've got a question for you both today,
which we'll get into shortly.
Oh, is it about that?
No, you know, it could be construed.
He's so always got to be sexual.
No, it's not sexual.
Well, it could be if you interpret it in a sense.
certain way.
I probably will be for clean them.
Yeah.
But go on.
Oh, by the way, by the way, sorry, the country's prize.
We only have two left, so I'm going to do it as an epic, like, Friday draw.
Because once I'll draw one out, then we're going to know who the winner is.
So I'll do the winner's prize for the country's elimination that people are getting confused with.
We started with every country that listens to this podcast in a jar.
We are down to the final two, Fiji or Canada.
On Friday's podcast, somebody will win.
Also, wait till Friday to find the winner, and then we'll have the weekend for people.
people to reach out.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I guess it's got to be the first person from that country that can take a photo
and prove that they're from that country to our Overtinkers podcast Instagram page.
She sends me a DM.
This isn't just a buy you time to finish sourcing the prize, is it?
No, I've been working behind the sense.
It's just good to do these things on a Friday.
Yeah, I thought so.
It's the end of the week.
Otherwise, we're going to, I've also written a trailer.
Oh.
Like a movie trailer for it.
Oh, wow.
She's gone on it.
She's doing some work for once, Clint.
months.
I've heard it on the weekend she does nothing.
She just sits on her couch like,
and does what?
It just sits at her wall?
Yeah, much they might put on some
fucking mindless shit on their telly.
And I just let the kids watch it.
Yeah.
And you just sit there,
what does her husband do?
What is wrong with you?
Jeez, I thought he might be like doing
the cleaning and the cooking
because of the thing's not doing it looking after the kids.
Because then who's looking after the kids?
The TV apparently
Okay, so wait
You take my household
So it gets to like 9pm Mix or who
And then at what point do they wrap it up
Do I just sleep on the couch?
Yeah
Oh so you don't even get up and go to
You're just so lazy
That's how I imagine
We don't know what Meg's doing
I just imagine
I just imagine me too
Sorry
It's like a permanent mould
My body shape into the couch
Like this
Like this
Like this
You call Megan
She's seeing
She sees the phone, but it's out of reach.
She just like, no.
I bet she could have one of those, um,
like those reachy.
Oh, the grip is when you, when you're on...
Well, just for food though.
When you're on home, when you're on, say...
Community service, you've got to pick up the rubbish with the little claw thing.
Sure, I watch one and a half hours of TV a week.
I figured out the other day.
I only watch TV on a Friday.
I don't watch TV anymore either, interesting.
TV on a Friday, I watch it from 8 o'clock to 9.30,
and then I go to bed, and I do admin night on Saturday night,
and I don't watch TV Sunday through Thursday.
Oh, Admin night on Saturday.
Yeah, every Saturday I do.
I genuinely do work.
I've been working on this fucking production, musical monologue.
But I'll do a little bit of admin like every day
so that it doesn't all pile up for one big night.
I know we're really different, but to me I actually genuinely am like, right,
I'll put that on Admin night's list and I'll get it all done
and it feels really good going into the way.
I know that doesn't work for you.
What if it's something that's due on a Friday?
Well, then I obviously have to do it.
Yeah.
I obviously have to do it.
It works for you, Clint.
It doesn't mean it works for anyone else.
Because I go to bed at the same time as the girl.
So after the girls are gone down at 8 o'clock,
I'm going to be it so I don't have any time to sit down and write musicals
and shit like that.
It's half written.
Yeah, too.
It's about 90% running.
I will say this, though.
The first time I've watched TV in Ages was I watched the first couple of episodes of Celebrity Treasure Island
because Harrison from the drive show was on it.
And it's the first time in a long time of actually gone an appointment or viewing.
Where I go on at 7.30 or whatever it was.
I'll watch it.
Are you guys watching anything in the moment?
I'm just not...
No, I don't know.
It's not a half a week.
It's a cooking show.
Survive of season 50.
Oh, yeah.
And they do episodes
who drop once a week,
so that makes it easy.
Yeah.
And I just realized the Rixom
football documentary with Ryan Reynolds,
season five, I just realized
there's the first three ups out,
so that'll be...
Oh, that'd be me.
Do you know what I...
The only time I really watch TV
that's a show for me
is...
Because obviously kids around,
I can't be watching stuff
that's not appropriate.
It's actually at the gym
when I'm doing cardio.
Oh.
We'll do gym stuff and then I'll get on a ski machine or a bike, put up a show.
And honestly, you'll do way more cardio if you're watching a TV show you're into.
Because I know if I get off the bike, you're going to turn it off.
And then I don't get to see what happens.
I'll get on you.
I don't have any time for the gym at the moment.
But I will do that when my child is at, Dekya.
What time?
Is it two?
Dakea?
Oh, no, Kindi's three.
Oh, yeah, three.
So we've still got another couple of years.
But that's fine.
This is the best part.
I just get to go home and spend time with my kid.
I can do that.
This is the best part.
Yeah.
It's the greatest gift.
Okay, play that little thing.
Oh, right.
Oh, yeah.
Which one?
The left one or the right one?
Whatever you choose, big boy.
He'd be righty.
Today on the Overtinkers podcast.
We're overthinking.
The future.
It is 2041.
Okay, so I will be going to 2026 now.
Oh, God, you're good.
Four years until 2030.
Oh, my fuck, there go.
It's 15 years away.
It's 15 years away.
So I am 35.
So I'll be 50.
Okay, go.
Guy's dead.
Oh, fuck.
Clint Jamie's passed.
Jesus, did they die in the same accident?
No, Guy died of fucking boredom.
Oh, my God.
He obviously must have gone away on holiday, though, without his family.
And he died while he was away.
Guy died of, this doesn't matter, but he died of...
What are you going to say?
He had a spixie-wank.
A spixie wank.
Oh, my God. Boredom would have been better.
Poor guy.
Honestly, poor guy.
Right, he died of boredom.
Clint.
What did Jamie do?
Jamie died of, um, just too much.
Like a horny husband.
She just died of a horny husband.
Oh, like him Wuthering Heights.
Yeah, he died of a horny husband.
Yeah.
Really?
That doesn't matter.
Anyway, that's besides the points.
They're both gone.
Okay.
You were both still, you know, like very well.
You're looking for love.
You just can't find it either of you.
We can't find love with something.
No, like you've got the kid girls still.
I wouldn't be looking for it.
I'd be looking for it.
I'd be looking for it.
for lust.
Okay, well this is perfect.
Jamie died.
This is perfect.
This is perfect.
So this has come from my own head,
but a company comes
to fruition.
It comes into New Zealand
and they're making
robotic partners.
So everything about them
is exactly the same as a human.
Like everything,
you can't tell
from the outside
that they are a robot.
I've seen this Megan Fox movie.
Yeah.
So it's completely automated.
No one will know
that this person is a robot.
But you pay, it doesn't really matter on the fee,
but you'd be a $100,000 down payment, whatever it is.
And you get a brand new partner that is completely tailored to what you want
so you can design them in looks, personality, everything.
I want to know from both of you,
how would you design this perfect person.
I want five character traits and five physical attributes.
Okay, they look exactly like Guy Mansell.
Okay, you can't do that.
Why?
Because people know that.
guy's dead.
I just care.
I would rather lead it and just have my husband back.
No, but then people would know that Meg's that weird chick that's with a humanoid.
I don't give a fuck if I've got my hubby back.
What do you mean?
Why don't you get a cross between your husband and your boss?
Jack, you think he's super hard.
You can improve it.
You can improve him.
So say you can take all the good bits of Guy and leave about all the stuff that you didn't like about him.
He doesn't snore.
That'd be a dream.
Prodice of Carl?
I was also, if it looks like Guy, I feel like your new partner would be really weird about
the robot that's just made to look like your ex.
That is my partner, isn't it?
Yeah, he is your partner.
I'm fucking the robot.
Yeah, so
this partner, they come into your life.
But don't you think that if you,
I'm going to build into it that you don't want people to know you with a robot.
So as soon as you have this guy thing that looks like guy coming in,
and people are like, what the fuck is that?
Okay, Clint, you go first.
I always go first.
I always go first.
Okay, mine's got pink here.
Fuck, I love that I'm thinking about guy and he's like,
completely goes.
And Jamie's dead to him now.
Colored like sleeve tether.
She always wears midriff like hitties.
Can I do yours?
She's also got a gap between her lips because her lips don't close because they're so puffy.
You love that.
But not like Sydney box job.
No, you know they're Sydney girls?
In Sydney, I feel like they love those cupful of things.
Is it just like natural thick lips and they've got that little gap when she closes her mouth?
There's still a little gap.
You can still kind of see her teeth when she closes her mouth.
Yep.
That's a clint thing.
Okay.
What else?
What else?
What else?
Let's talk about personality.
He hasn't even...
So she's got...
I'm guessing you want big tits.
Ish?
Yeah.
Big-ish tits.
Pig hair.
Booty's more important to me.
Booty.
She wears a crop top.
She's got puffy lip.
She's never cold.
You know, like, sometimes when you're cold,
you always...
My wife's always cold.
So she'll wear like a hoodie
with a catmandoo jacket over the top
and then a coat.
And I'm like,
babe, it's not that cold.
Do you want her to be like your previous partner?
You said your previous partner could be a bit windy
when you went home, like, after I lay one out.
Do you want her to still be like that, or?
Well, I like to be challenged.
She's like a strong woman.
Yeah, I don't want to be a push-over.
Do you want to be winged?
No, I don't like really like winching.
Okay.
Someone that likes to party, likes to host, and is quite spontaneous.
What if, like, do you want her to ever turn down a party?
Or do you just every time you say it, she's like full-in-ro?
No, every time I'm, I mean, it's my robot.
So every time I'm keen to have people around.
she's like oh my god
that's what I was going to say
yeah so she's spontaneous
doesn't get tired
she doesn't get tired
did any of them look sick
six seven
okay well that's great
so we can put her in
what's her name
and we'll get that ordered for you
and see no
oh she's got to have a slutty name Crystal
let's get it no
oh Sandy Crystal
maybe we could keep it Jay
because then that way I don't you know
but odd that your previous part is Jay
yeah that happens those sometimes
we'll get a new part
still be Jay, you know, because in that way
it's, you know. Okay,
and her, so her personality was
strong, spontaneous
and it likes to entertain.
And a little bit goofy and silly.
A little bit goofy and silly. Yeah, I like goofy and silly.
Life's not too serious. Like about like Meg.
Yeah, goofy. Goofy. I'm not goofy.
Goorish, pooh, roo-ro-ro-ro.
Oh, you know, you're a bit goofy? Do you think so?
I think we're all a bit goofy.
Yeah. I am, maybe. We're all a bit goofy.
Okay. Okay.
It's only because, and there are parts of that I've described that are my wife and there are parts of that that aren't.
I just think if I were to start over again, then I think I would do something quite different as opposed to trying to search out the exact same thing.
Because I only get one life and if life is going to pass me that giant lemon, then I'm going to do something completely different.
Because otherwise I think if they were very similar, I think I'd always compare them to my wife and be like, you're not quite her.
so I need something quite different.
You say she has got a good ass.
I know Jay's got a great arse.
She just doesn't let me grab it off enough.
So my new robotic girlfriend, she loves that by the way.
He loves getting grabbed.
She loves being grabbed.
Okay, so she loves being grabbed on the ass.
Okay, cool, thanks. Next.
Oh, hi me, welcome to...
I don't want him to be here.
I don't want to do this.
I don't want a new husband.
If guy died, I don't fucking want a robot.
Could I just make a guy?
You could get a robot and it's just that you're not a love with them.
Could be a consistent cleaning.
Okay, fine.
I don't want to be in love with them.
Okay.
I'm done.
I don't want them to touch me.
Does he love you?
Does he love you?
It might be a woman actually.
Yeah, make it a lady.
I don't want a man.
She just admires you like crazy.
Okay, what do you want her to look like?
No, no, I'm having sex if it's a woman.
It's different.
Cassie, want to be sexual woman.
But I still don't want to be in love with her.
I think we're just good friends and every now and then if, like...
Oh, imagine a woman.
I'm fine, design my robot.
I just want to have sex with her.
Yeah.
That's all shame.
Oh, God.
Where are you guys getting lollies from?
You've got lollies and you've got them.
Bella came and gave us some lollies.
Where the fuck?
Why does Meg have seven?
I've been in the couple actually.
She's lined them more like in colour.
Give me a purple one.
Okay.
Oh, fuck.
You've got three of them.
Thank you.
Okay.
Okay.
Actually, I'm going to make them, yeah, I'm going to make them just a mate that hangs out.
Oh, they love.
Like, they.
love to clean.
Okay. That is their favorite thing to do.
The Megan Fox one does that.
Really? She loves the clean. She enjoys it.
She enjoys it. She loves it. We can do anything
so we can make her have mops for hands if you want.
Like there's anything, we can do anything with this.
Well, are they interchangible or are they permanently
mops? Well, I'm making my one have a vacuum cleaner
for a hand. If you know, you know.
I don't think you need to figure it out if you don't know.
No, it's because he does have.
Have you seen the movie?
He! He! He!
You got a man.
He's gone red.
He says he got a male robot with a vacuum
hand. Mom, don't disturb me
when I'm cleaning my room. This is literally
Dan, you're dream. You're Duffy. You're designing
everything about them and you said
he. No, no, no.
Oh my God.
Why did you say he?
I actually think I'd get a man as well, not
in a sexual way. Oh yeah, but he's got a
vacuum plant for a hand to suck him off.
I think I would design my best friend
Chris. Yeah.
Lives overseas. I know, right.
And I'm the same as you have
had a died, I'm not remarrying.
Yeah.
And if it's a robot, he can give me the odd hand job.
And he looks like your mate, Michael.
You just said, you said it looks like, oh, your mate or Chris or whatever,
because you don't see him much.
So you want to take Chris, but Chris every now and then sucks you off.
With his robotic vacuum cleaner hand.
Oh my God.
I hope Chris is not listening to this or he's never listened to it again.
Vacuum or Chris.
No, it looks nothing like Chris.
It looks nothing like anyone I know.
Okay.
In fact, he's not even hot.
Like, I don't really care what he looks like.
Rewind this podcast.
It's more, it's just a person that I can play PlayStation with.
And every now and then I close my eyes and he wanks me off.
Rewind this pocket about 36.
I'm pretty sure Dan wanted it to look like his mate.
No, I didn't say that.
I'm pretty sure you did.
Get the replay now.
I'm sure I didn't.
But anyway, it's definitely not that.
Someone that's like, he could look like fucking, I don't know,
Smee from Captain Hook for all I care.
I think it needs to be a young,
younger looking.
Young guy.
Like my age looks like my friend.
Chris?
No,
no.
Fuck,
you're describing Chris.
I mean,
looks like a friend.
Like,
we could be friends,
not my friend,
Chris.
And so we're like sitting there.
Playing PlayStation
he cleans,
because he's got a vacuum.
They love to clean.
They love to clean.
He's got a little feather duster.
And Dan's got no pants on
and he's spilt crumbs all over his crotch.
Oh, this poor robot.
This poor robot.
It's going,
It's kind of, fuck, he's taking his pants off.
He knows he wants fucking me to wank him off again.
Fuck, fuck.
Dan literally just brought this to the table
so he could tell us about his fantasy
with his sex robot.
No, no.
I wanted to know what Meg wanted to do, to be fair.
Well, she doesn't want to do anything.
This is very, yeah, it always does.
This is, we're kind of similar.
I would want a friend.
Oh, I could have remarry with a woman
because Hannah, like, Jan is the peak for me.
I could never.
but
I'll fucking get a guy
I'll get a dude with a fucking vacuum
clean hand
and you get in there
Well if it's your fantasy
Why don't give him two vacuum cleaner hands
Because he needs one hand to do other stuff
I would tick all the balls
