The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS Dan....SPIT!

Episode Date: May 7, 2026

We kicked things off with a massive announcement that Westlife is officially heading to New Zealand next July. This sparked a heated debate about when the "birthday weekend" actually happens if your big day falls on a Wednesday. Meg is convinced you have to celebrate the weekend after because you aren't actually the new age yet, while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to stretch the party for as long as possible. Things took a turn for the weird when Meg dug up an old article from when she was 25 where she claimed she was "sick" of Taylor Swift. She barely recognised her own voice or her face from back then, let alone her taste in music. Clint chimed in saying he still sees the same guy inside himself, even if that guy is prone to some pretty questionable life choices. Speaking of questionable choices, Clint finally shared the full story of his infamous wedding haka. He was the celebrant for the ceremony but ended up shirtless on the transport bus at the end of the night, performing for a group of Australians who had never seen a haka in person. The cringe was real as he described the sober bride watching from the front of the bus while he gave it his absolute all. To finish us off, we entered a bizarre competition over who produces the most saliva. Dan claims he has a "regular swallowing system," but the audio evidence of everyone trying to spit on command says otherwise. It got messy, it got brown (thanks to Meg’s coffee), and it’s definitely something you’ll have to hear to believe.

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overtinkers podcast. Friday, how you doing? Cool making damn with you. Happy Friday. Hey. Oh, that's Christmasy. Yeah, Jesus, that is.

That's your land in the malls. You know what? I do a really good Santa impersonation, though. But it hurts your throat, doesn't it? Yeah, can't do it for too long. But I feel like I've got the Santa game sewed up when I'm like old. and I'll be in fucking malls everywhere. I know, but you can fake a beard.

Yeah. They all do. All the fake Santas. I think real Santa will accept you as fake Santa. Well, I think you've got to cheer up a little bit. I think he'd be like, you're too grumpy. No, but I would obviously be playing a character. I wouldn't be myself.

Yeah, but I think Santa would be like you'd have to be your, like he knows your soul, obviously, in your intentions. Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas little children! Yeah, and I think Santa would be like, yeah, you do a grand personation, but your soul is rubbish. No, it's not rubbish, Sanda. I'm such a positive little individual. Who, ho, ho, ho. Why'd you call Migg Santa? I thought you're Santa.

Well, she's assumed the role, hasn't she, of the real Santa? Oh, right, okay, because I was going to say, that's going to be confusing the kids. I'd be a fucking fabulous Mrs. Claus. One day. Oh, my God, you would be. One day.

Oh, shit. We could play Mr. and Mrs. Clause in Westfield. We would be good at that. We would. We'd think her. I think he's the oldest, though, so it really should be him. Fuck, yeah. Are you speaking?

No, McG. No, we're of age. be dead. Speaking he would have died in a watch. You know what? Just to punish

you both, I'm going to outlive you both, even though I'm older. Oh no you won't, Clinton. I'll snuff you out before. Speaking of birthdays, maybe something to overthink

because we were talking about this off here and get a chance to really find the answer to it. Westlife have just announced that they're going to be coming to the country, New Zealand at least. But it's not until like July next year.

And Meg's like, oh my God, it's July 28th, but her birthday's July 24th. And I'm like, so when is your birthday weekend? If your birthday falls middle of the week, is it the weekend before your birthday? Or is it the weekend after? I think it's the weekend after because you're then the age.

That's what I argue too, Dan. It's hard though because... Can't do it the week before because you're not the age yet. Yeah, but then also it feels like once your birthday is Wednesday, your birthday's over for another year. And then you're trying to celebrate it like four or five days later. So you get two birthdays because you celebrate on the day, obviously. And then you have another bite at it at the weekend after.

My daughter Miller is turning one on a Monday and obviously then you would celebrate the weekend before but it does feel weird you know, I know it's a Monday but so we're celebrating on the Saturday I'm like, it's odd, she's not one year and we're celebrating, she's one, no she isn't. She turns one in two days' time.

You just do it for you. Don't celebrate for her, she's not going to know. So when they're like one and two, you're only really having the birthday for yourselves, the parents. Totally, but that's why I feel weird will be like, you know, like hugging each other and going, yay, she's one and the family would be there saying, yeah, she's one.

Well, she's not actually. In two days' time, she'll be one. But all the weekend and stuff in the lead-up to say a Wednesday birthday. That weekend, it's all like building, building, so you're celebrating, you're doing stuff in the weekend. Once the birthday hits Wednesday, that's the climax. It's peaked. It's done now.

Anytime if you're still celebrating, you're like, fuck, wasn't your birthday, like last week? I disagree. I think when you get to your age, you do sort of start going, oh, I don't want to celebrate. But I think Meg and I are still quite young, aren't we? Yeah, yeah. You're like two years, maybe three years ago. When you're getting it as old as Clinton, like you've had half your life really now. really. So, like, it's only all really downhill.

Don't scare me into buying a Porsche. Yeah, yeah. You really should. If I was you, I'd be out, I'd be going to the Porsche shop after this. Yeah, the old, um, well, I've got midlife crisis. I understand how they happen. You'd get a convertible Porsche. You've got that sort of energy. Like, but not like the cool one.

You just get a boxer. Oh, no, I don't want a box. I was behind one of them the other day and I was like, they were the lame shape. Yeah, yeah. He'd have a scarf on it to blow, like, back behind the porch as he's driving along, like a little red scarf. He'd look cute, that.

And he goes on the first. To my third wife. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I still message the kids on their birthdays. Oh, yeah, but it's just a text. Yeah. And he does, like, pay for the stuff, like, from afar.

He'll like, oh, I'll pay for that, but he's never there for them. Oh, I don't know if that would have to be. And he'd make them work for it. Where they're like, hey, dad, any chance that you could pay for the cat for my graduation? And be like, well, how much is that? Yeah. I already bought that remote control car for you. A few weeks ago.

No, I'm not doing that again. Oh, no. Oh, who knows, I look back at who I was when I was 25 and I don't recognize that guy. So wild isn't it actually, Clint, I thought about you the other day because I was looking back on a Woman's Day article where I was reading something that I had done years ago. And I was 25 and I saw a video where it's your Meg's top five or I pulled questions out of a hat. And I didn't recognize my voice. I didn't recognize what I was wearing. I couldn't recognize my face.

My answers, they asked me who I was sick of, what artists I was sick of. and I said Taylor Swift. Oh. Wow. And I was the first time I thought about you because we'd make jokes about how you're like, I don't know who that guy is. And I felt that of like, I don't know who she is. I don't know who that girl is.

I don't know. She talks in a different way. The words I was saying, the way I was moving, I have no idea who that is. I reckon I could see it still with you. I think that with Clint, the man that he used to be is still inside him. He is. Like there's certain things I'll go, oh, yeah, he still is the guy. You know, he still...

Like the chance of me doing another hucker at a wedding. I think could have... Definitely could happen. You get enough tins of beer into him and he'll do it. If he got to organise his wedding now, there's no way this Clint is releasing doves. Yeah.

I don't know. And singing his vows. Sinking his vows. He gets embarrassed at the littlest things. He gets all funny. We've got like stranger danger now. Yeah. I definitely wouldn't sing my vows.

I mean, the chance of me doing another hucker at a wedding might only be... You're right, because I still love a few beers. I'll leave like a 5% chance The door is a jar for that But I'm hoping that never happens again But you're right, I'm not singing my vows I'm not going to renew my vows

And write another original soul But lest we forget the vows were like 25 years ago weren't they The Harker was recently Like within the last three years or something Because that was when I was on the show So I'd say you haven't changed much since then Yeah

Apart from the fact that me And I absolutely ripped the shit out of you When you admitted you'd done it I just got so petrified that that video was going to get out. I know the audio. I know. Meg goes, I literally, I remember if you don't know the story, I text Meg. And I was like, oh my God, Meg, I just, I'm working up to realize that I did the most embarrassing thing you could ever do at a wedding. And Meg goes, and she goes, tell me, I said, I can't tell you.

And she goes, what if I guess? And I was like, right, what do I say? Yeah, three guesses or five? Yeah, three guesses. So I guess that you humped the bride, like weirdly. Hump the bride on the dance floor. That's so funny that was your number one thing you thought he had. That one?

Peed and the champagne found it. Peed in the champagne all did a drunk hugger. Oh she goes Oh you did a drunk hugger and I was like one of those is correct.

That's right. You go No. Yeah. My God. My God. My God. My God.

Oh God I'd do anything. I may imagine if you and I were on the bus because it was the front of the bus wasn't it? Yeah. It was like the bus that drove all the dronkeys home. Because I would have hidden.

I wouldn't have seen it because I would be under the chest with embarrassment. My mouth would have been a gog. That's like. And the only reason I did it was because all the groomsmen because I was the cell.

I couldn't have pulled my phone out to enter record mode. Quicker. The only reason I did it was because I was the celebrant at the wedding. Earth makes it even worse. I know. And so I married them, whatever.

And I was getting to know at the wedding all the groomsmen. And they were all from Ozzy. And then they were talking about stuff. I don't even know how it came up. But they'd never seen a hucker in real life. And I was like, I know how to do the hucker. And then,

I did, I've got some audio here. I do you actually. It just says Clint Hucker. That's not me. Someone's put that in the system. I love the fact that Clint was like, you know what? I'm the guy that needs to show them this. I know, why do you take it upon your shoulders?

Like I would have gone, you know what, I'm not the man to show these Ozzy's a Hucker. Maybe I can pull up TikTok. I'd love to be able to, but I just don't think I'm the person to do it. Well, I'm one 30-second Māori, so I thought I was going to lean into that. I don't get to lean into the 32nd part of my heritage very often. Yeah. And when we were young in school, everyone learned the Haka. And everyone would have their shirts off in primary school.

And you'd all do the Haka and like assembly or different cultural like things. So we all knew it. Yeah. I mean, it's one of those things you do learn, but I would never have gone, you know what? Get me to the front of that bus. And I'll take my shirt. The fact that you took your shirt off as well is just so cringe. Yeah.

Yeah, that was the. worst part I think of it because I was like that video if that surfaced as a major shirtless doing a drunk hucker on a bus. So it's you in like suit pants? And you also... Just suit pants and no shirt? No shirt and he wouldn't have, like, dress shoes. And you wouldn't have got in the words right?

No, he wouldn't know if he would have gone... Not all of them. Not all of them. Kay, K, come on. And did you slap your chest and stuff? Yep. Yep. It was red. Oh my God, he slapped his bare chest. It was red after all that. I mean, I did all the actions properly. I wanted to give the guys

as close the real thing as possible. What happened directly? afterwards, so they go, oh, thanks for that, man. Yeah, where they go, did they sort of go, oh, God, God knows. And do you know the worst part? Actually, as I'm thinking, throw you know how the more you force your brain to think you go, you start piecing, you go, oh, I found another piece of the puzzle.

Normally the bride and groom leave early, right? But they stayed till the end. So Hannah and Blake were sitting up the front of the bus, and she was obviously very sober because she's a bride and at her wedding, so she didn't get wasted. So she's sitting up the front sober as hearing me do this drunk huck her halfway It might have been the only Hacker done at a wedding that people didn't cry over. Yeah.

Because it's normally really emotional. Oh, they were tears, though, because that was tears of like, oh my God, this is so hard. It's ruined the weddings. There's something else we can move this conversation on. Today on the Overtinkers podcast. We're overthinking. How much saliva you keep in your mouth at all times? Because Dan.

It's got enough to spit at all times. I think it's normal. And Clint's got a dry mouth. No, because I just think I'm running like a more regular swallowing system than you. Regular swallowing, Dan, listen to it. Regular swallowing system. What do you mean? First time movies, he's admitted it finally.

When the dentist is in your mouth, you know, and they have the suction and stuff, like, I'm always like, come on, get rid of it. There's saliva in there, but maybe Dan just lets his fill up more. Because Dan was pretending to do something earlier, like he was trying to be like a monster. I was like, and instantly he went into character and just started drooling and spit starts running out of his mouth. And I was like, of course he can. Half a mouthful of spit. It's called acting.

Having normal saliva flow is significantly better for oral health than a dry mouth. Saliva acts as a protective mechanism cleaning the mouth, preventing tooth decay and assisting with digestion. You know what? I recognise the amount of talking you do. Like your mouth literally spends more time open than everybody else. Honestly, sometimes Clint, he just talks and talks and talks. Like the times you know, this is true, Clint, when you're away, which is often, because you're on a holiday. Yeah, you always got, we'll have Cal and who does the day show and he'll cover.

I've done an extra song. Usually he will be like, why are we so under all the time? And it's because Clint just talks or more. I've got to fill it. Yeah. Well, the crazy thing was then Meg goes, we can all do the saliva thing. So then she tried it. I had coffee.

It was disgusting. Yeah, Meg had like brown saliva. She'll be like jump on the hut. I've never lived that down. It was such a thing. She's like, I can do it as well. And just spit out this brown drovel goes down her chair. You're thinking about it makes me actually wonderful.

I hate myself. I would need to, like, make this alive? Bloody hell, okay, that was a confronting noise to hear. So wait, right now, go spit. Straight out. Yeah. I do have, like, I, to be honest, when I went to the dentist recently, he did say.

Can you wipe that? Oh, sorry, man. Fucking hell. Disgusting. The dentist did say, I'm having to use the suction quite a bit. Do they say that? He said something along the lines of like, oh, just swallow again.

I'm having to use that a bit, a bit too much. Or something. But I think it's because I, Meg saliva. I can but I don't want to show you. Oh no, no, she's... Oh, I had to make it. Yeah, no, I had to make it.

I can't. Like maybe the time you did it, you just had it because you were just about to swallow. I just had a coffee. Have we found one of my talents? Yeah, maybe we had it. Salad. Yeah, so at any point you can just go...

But maybe I'll just produce ungodly amounts of saliva. You can just at any point. I can, but I'm, yeah, I have to take a moment, but... You can just go... Dant saliva. Just like that. There's always there. I've always got a bit of moisture in there.

Yuck. I don't know what it is. But do I sound... Maybe I'm one of those slivery. You know, when my Hannah and I, my wife first started going out, she had to tell me that I was a bit of a wet kisser. So maybe that is a thing, that maybe I have got a bit too much saliva.

I mean, sliver. I'm honest, Joe. So my first time I've been able to do it. Wow. It's funny, isn't it? I've never... When you rather have a wet kisser than a dry kisser? Like, if it has to be overly one way or the other.

I think you want a happy medium, but you don't want to be kissing someone with really sloppy lips. Yeah, but it's really dry. It will also be bad breath normally. Like dry, like morning breath, sort of like, you know, snoring too loud. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. So I would say more saliva than less. Saliva! There it goes. There it goes. He's kind of like Spider-Man, but with way shit of skills. Saliva man, yeah.

Saliva man. thirsty as fuck. Yeah. Oh, I'm not, though, because I've always got saliva. Yeah, that's true. You know what? One time I had a teacher,

I was thirsty, this is how long ago I went to school, and I remember we were playing netball, and I was like, Miss, I need to go and get a drink, and she goes, drink your saliva. That's terrible. That's like, literally, she should be fired.

She should have been. Yeah, that was the 90s for you. Oh, well. Mmm. I thought that I'll leave you with dairy eyes. Guess I thought what's that smell? Stink. mystery for us to one bell

guess the fart We're a new producer at the moment now he's taken over from producer Nipia who's moved on to office work but Brady do we get him in he's our new technical producer he can do a guess the fart

I haven't done wheeze today and I always find it's hard because then if I go push I don't want to piss myself you do this every time you need to remember to go wheeze on Fridays Brady introduce yourself to the podcast fam yeah I'm Brady I've moved into a technical producer role. It's been, first week's been good, been a lot of fun

and learning heaps from Clint and having some good laughs. Oh, this sounds like, you know, at the start of Love Island when they introduced themselves. Yeah, a bit of an interview way. Yeah. Yeah, okay, give us two other things that we wouldn't know about you

because we fucking haven't taken the time to ask. Yeah, what are you into? What are your hobbies? I'm from Canterbury. I grew up in Lincoln, small little town out there. I'm really into, like, outdoors. And another thing you don't know about me is I like drinking.

Oh. I could have guessed all those things, I reckon. Yeah, I've actually seen on one of your profile picks, you do like hunting. I've seen you with a gun and some animal. What was it? A pig. Oh, do you go hunting? Yeah, I did.

Oh, Meg's not going to like that. That's not going to ignore you, tell me that. We're very different in that. What'd you do, though, with the pig? Yeah, get the meat and take it home and eat it. Yeah, so would your family have starved to death, would you say if you hadn't had done that? No, but. Brady?

He's... Would your family have starved? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. She was doing out of necessity. You can put you forage for some mushrooms No one's thinking about the poor mushrooms

Veilings are they? All Meg's family sit in there just high as far as being like Whoa If she'd never for mushrooms They're very dangerous Another beef Wellington me No no No no

Okay So let's get to far You know how this game works I mean it pains me to say it But we're still playing it There's a lot of people that aren't fans though Amy you've had to be a few We made the mistake of putting

At the start of an interview Last week I think at the end people go, cool. Not for me. I've had my 15 minutes to Clint McGahn and I'm out now. And he has had a few shockers recently, hasn't he, where he hasn't been able to produce the gas needed. I think if I, maybe this is the rule. If I go back-to-back weeks unable to produce anything, it's done.

It's over. I think that's happened. No, I just did one. No, I just did one. It's a really long one, do you remember? Okay, go. Pick you. Oh, Brady, you go first.

How does it work? So you just do a far noise. Do far noise, and if it sounds as close to the one I produce, you win. All right, I reckon that's it. fucking hell he'd have to go home okay Meg um

oh Jesus how loose is his butt sorry okay oh that's a good I reckon that's one of this one of my better ones okay here we go close to three new too I'm not sure

I'd probably worry I do not want to be closed I guess the fuck what's that smell Stinking is a week for us to one day Guess the fall Hang it around Hasn't it at me yet
