The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS direct hits

Episode Date: August 2, 2026

We’re diving into absolute chaos after a listener mail question about our work hours sent us down a wild rabbit hole! From mouse pads and hotel curtains to Dan’s outrageous confession about a self-inflicted direct hit to his own face, we completely lost it. You're not ready for this!

This is a podcast from Rover. The Thinkers Podcast. Go ahead and welcome. Clint McGinn Dan through radio hosts that don't get sick of enough, or sick of talking enough to wrap it up when we finish the show and decide to do a podcast as well. Oh, funny you say that, Clint. Did you see the bit of mail I'm about to read out?

No. Oh, it's interesting, Meg, because this is the perfect segue into this mail. You got mail. You can obviously get in touch with us, overthinkers, what is it called the official name? The overthinkers feedback line on Instagram just search that up and you can be a direct

line of mail to Meg Mansel. Or in this case Dan. Yes, well I read it today. Dan's checking the mailbox. Thank you Dan. So it just says, it's just a short piece of mail. Hello Clint Meg and Dan. I'd love to know how the hours of radio work like is it a full time gig, how many hours a week

do you actually work and how does it all work? That's like my number one most asked question from anybody ever. is like when do you when do you actually stop working? And the answer is like we stop like I would say we'd be normally going home between 1.30 and 1215.

I'm sorry 1130 and 1215. I was saying that's a weird way to do time. Yeah, yeah. 1130 and 1215 we're normally like hitting out the door sort of thing. But does it end? No. Like that's the hard part with hours of radio is that anything could be content.

You're kind of thinking of things if you're looking online, you're like, oh, I'll grab that for scandal tomorrow. Or I'll send the boys this article I've seen and maybe that could come up or, oh, something happened to me today, we'll put it in the cheat. So it's like you never really switch off even though the hours have stopped.

That's what I hate about this job. Yeah, it's the worst. I mean, it's kind of like, if it were a sport, it's like going to trainings, in the dark and in the rain, that's all the boring bit. But then when it's game day

and you show up and you get to play as the fun part. So like doing the show is the fun part, but the exhausting part of it is content creation and at the end of a show, you go, cool. Now we need to come up with another four hours

of stuff to talk about tomorrow. Just gone through the show and you're like, great, that was good, we did it, and it's, like, within five minutes, and you don't, like, we don't even stop down for, like, lunch breaks or, like, what, smokers, is that what they call them? We don't leave. We don't leave this room, basically, apart from quick wheeze. And then we're, like, we leave here at 11.30, we're like, wow, the last time I was outside was for, like, 5 a.m.

Well, you say that, because you, we've just come out of a meeting after our show right now as we do this. And in that meeting, I wanted to kill myself three times. Yes. I got up to three or four. I think myself, Dan, so we can... Do you know the part about it because it's always like forward thinking, what are we doing tomorrow? What are we doing next week?

What are we next month? We were having meetings about things that are happening in three months. And then you're pre-recording people because of the time frame doesn't work out if they're overseas. So there's sort of what you do post-show. But then the problem is I get home and then my wife, who has only been with her own thoughts, wants to download all of their thoughts

and organize and plan all these things that I'm just like, I'm planned out. What's her thought? She was just sitting at home on the couch watching the football last time I looked. Netball. Netball. Whatever it was. Yeah.

She had her feet up. She worked the weekend, so I guess this is her. And that's why it's so good when other people do the content for us, then we can just steal it off their pages. Like Girls Get Off. They have put up some content that I wanted to discuss. No, this. You don't admit this, Meg.

No, I'm going to. They're fantastic, aren't they? We love Girls Get Off. 234,000 commenters, and they put, sorry, not commenters, followers. and they put something up in their stories but I have to think of a clever word for comrag that is of that. Well, you've said it so you may as well just do it now.

Yeah, if you've... What the hell? Irrelevant. You've said the word, so you may as well just say it. People aren't doing that, are they? What do you mean? You just have wet wipes or tissues or toilet paper. Who's called?

Are you always doing it in the bathroom? No, like in your bed. You've got toilet paper in your bed? Yeah, I'll put a roll of it in the... Or a... Why? For that? Well, like, wet whites. Well, like, yeah, wet whites like in the drive.

Yeah, but you've never had one-night stands. There aren't men that are organised with their toilet paper. But if you know they're having one-night stands and they wouldn't- Yes, that would make sense. Rather be like, what's the closest thing I can wipe up with? So these were, what is the wildest thing you've been offered as something to wipe up? Oh, so this is girls commenting about guys that they've been around to their house and they've been handed something. Yes.

To clean up. Like a mouse pad. Wouldn't they, wouldn't it be lovely? A lovely figure here is a box of wet wipes. Take as many as you need. That would be, yeah, that is something they could have done or a towel or anything like that, but no, that hasn't happened. In fact, Dan, yes, the first one we did discuss off here, a mouse pad.

I don't say that I wouldn't think they're that absorbent. In fact, aren't they made of like wetsuit material? Yeah, they're not absorbed at all. Is that right? Try to wipe up with a wetsuit. Yeah. Who's still rocking a mouse pad in 2026? The wildest thing you've been offered.

A hair scrunchy. Wasn't mine. So some other girls here's scrunchy that was left from the previous time, I'm guessing. And, like, again, if you know what a scrunchy is, there's material, but not much. Like, what are you? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dan, did you just pick up what I picked up? Yes, but, of course.

Meg was like wiping up a fake semen. But of all the places she decided to wipe her body or wipe the cement off her body. It was her face. Well, that's normally. I'm guessing some of these situations is that. Otherwise, what else are you doing? If it's in you, you go to the bathroom.

It has to be somewhere that they're like, oh, here's something. On the back. Sorry, that's a Ricky Jervais reference. On the back. Not in the hair. I mean, that's going to be half of the scrunchy.

Wipe it up on the back. Surely the face isn't the majority, like, isn't the place. Like, it feels family feud. And they go, right, top aunts is on the board. We're a woman mostly wiping that substance off their body from.

Yeah, probably stomach boobs back. Yes. Yeah. In the hair. Right, here we go. Next. The wildest thing you've been offered. The bright red G-string he was wearing.

Oh, that's interesting. Now, that is. But that could have been two guys maybe, possibly. True, yeah. I mean, gay or otherwise, who's, who's, what dude's rocking a G-banger? And also, I don't want to wipe anything off me that has been up your bum, although you have just been intimate, so maybe you don't care. But a G-bang is, I would prefer the scrunt.

I think that's more absorbent than a G-Banger. No, I'm going mousepad. You're picky mouse pad. I'm picking mouse pad, Dan. So far. Scrunchy, scrunchy. A bit of fun in it. Pulled out and wiped on the hotel curtain.

They're not washing the curtains. That makes me nervous about how many people are doing that. Because she was pressed against the window. Because you know what? So far, I'd go for the curtain. Oh, God. So he must have been, so she was against the window. he's behind, he pulls out

and then finishes somewhere and then gets the curtain and wraps it around his penis. Well, if it was between that scrunchy or a G-bang or I'm going curtain. That's disgusting. That's disgusting, right? What's the wildest thing you've been offered? A drop sheet at a work site? Like the painters put down,

that actually would give you some sort of infection, I reckon. Yeah, I would not be... Why were they doing it at a work site? Who's doing it at a work site? Not that this needs to be said, but now I'm stuck on that thing. I've actually never had it on my face. Well. She just took her while to come.

Okay. I'm just, you know, I just, I was thinking that sounds like I was doing it. Even I've had it on my face. From my own. Oh, that's not. Like, I have. I tried to give you an out there, buddy, but all good was not. No, look, you played it in a bad place where, no, I'm just saying not from anyone else.

From me. What's your pressure like that you're shooting from there to your face? What have you managed that? Oh, like I, I, I. Are you hanging upside down? I'm not a big often. Like, I don't do it often. And it's a contentious issue in our relationship.

I should be doing it more. But... Who said that? Hannah. Hannah, she said, I should be... Fresh semen. Yeah, especially if you're trying for kids. Apparently, the fresher, the better.

Who knows? But I've been not too fresh. I've also heard that. So it's a bit of a tricky thing to navigate. I think it's a happy medium. I think it's every two days. Anyway, if you leave it for like a week, my...

I don't know if it's the same for other guys, but the pressure's, like, it's the difference between a... week shower when the washing machine and dishwash is going at the same time to where nothing else is running in the house and you just flick on the shower and it's, that's me on a, if I haven't done it for a couple of weeks. And you just shoot it straight in your face. And I have been a couple of times.

Why did you aim it at your face with your mouth opening? I wasn't going to go, well, fuck, I'm going to try and get this on the face. Why didn't you close your mouth? I was, I'd say in my mouth. If it's on your face, there's a high chance you might. It wasn't, it was like under my eye. Who laughed out there? Anyway, it's, God, move on.

It was just a more. overpassing comment Meg Hey Julie, Dan's mom I know you listen to this podcast Wait, when you wing I'm trying to think now So if you're laying I'm no more questions on it

Your Honor I want a lawyer I can only imagine You know if he's laying on his back Yeah But then he's like bending his legs So his knees are in there

So he's almost like doing a reverse plank He's like upside You're on a decline Like a decline bench Yeah Yeah yeah you're like down Like at the gym When you see those people

Where their legs are high And then their heads low So when you're shooting it It's like Gravy is splitting it down. Unless I had some sort of like Wanking apparatus. How is that happening?

Unless I'm laying like on the stairs or something. It's just, that's what happened. You put it up. There'll be other guys. Please. Please get in touch with us if you're a guy or you know of your partner or who's a man that. It happens.

I've got it on my ear before. She's happened multiple times. Something about Mary. He's the turn. I haven't got it in my hair. I said it on my ear. Yeah. Looks like Carl.

Carl's nodding along. I think you've got a buddy there. He has it hanging on his ear. He definitely has it in his hair. No, he has it hanging on his ear. Ben Stiller. And then she grabs it from his ear. He goes, well, he's been very quiet.

Stick up for me here. If you're nodding away in the background quietly, has this happened to you? Yeah. Brady. So, Clint, maybe you're the weakling. Brady. There's a lot of force there.

A lot of power. A lot of power. Is he in there? Is he nodding? He's a chronic wanker. How far does yours go, bro? Oh, sometimes has the roof. Have you ever done?

Have you ever got on your face? On your own face? I've never, like, hit my face, but one time I've had to give it like the quiz. So yeah, but he's ducked. He's ducked. What? No way. Brady?

Wait, I've just walked in. What's the question? Have you ever finished on your own face? Accidentally. Like, have you been like, and then it's accidentally got you in the face? No, I've never hit my own face, but it's like spread up and hit the wall. They're like duck out of the way. It's not, I'm just a bad ducker.

But yeah. So you're the unusual one. What? Oh, how am I the weirdo for not finishing on my face ever? Overtinkers. Best placement of a sweeper ever? Thank you. Do you want any more or no?

No, I think that's... Oh, I think we're finished. Okay, what are? Some honourable mentions. Just rattle through the bullet points. As a man I was offered a menstrual pad. Now, that's good because it's absorbent. That's the first one. You'd be happy with that?

I would have gone on you? Take that over the keyboard. Crispet packet chips. That's doing nothing. That's just smearing. It's slippery. A subway napkin. Yeah, that's the best one so far.

Oh, I prefer the Tammy. A pair of underwear and other women's heatily were mine. Oh, the sinkers. Go back. Got down in the cockpit over in New Zealand fours playing my crick in the sink. You're kidding me. My own bra. Someone tried to give me one ply eucalyptus tissues.

I was on fire. it was a mess. That is it. Okay, there we go. That's it. Oh, well, thanks for listening if you got this far, which I'd argue most people didn't. Well, I'm glad that you, I'm glad for you, if you didn't. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

So no one can, okay. You got anything clean, tidy? Before just the end on, something like nice and like a little bit of a fluff piece? Uh, yeah, I've got this. Hi, Julie. Hi, Mom. It's just us. Bye.
