The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS Fiber Daddy...

Episode Date: March 19, 2026

I genuinely think we’ve hit a new low, but in the most scientific way possible. We sat down with "Fiber Daddy" Alan Lynn, the man who turned "fart maxing" into a viral sensation, to learn the literal recipe for the most potent farts known to man. Things get incredibly competitive when Clint tries to prove his "Fart Monster" status on demand, and let’s just say the results were... lingering. From decibel meters to "stink ratings" from his own mother, Alan’s insights left us absolutely spiraling.

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overtinkers podcast. Hi-a-and-Wa and welcome. Your host, Clint Mech and Dan. Oh, hi-o-Gazemos. I know we've got a lot of Japanese listeners, and so that's just going out to them. Are they still in the running for the prize pack at the end of the year

once we find only one country remaining? Who is out? Argentina, New Zealand, Austria, Hungary, Israel, Ireland, Venezuela, Thailand, Lithuania, Japan. Singapore, Turkai, Germany, Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan. United States and Peru, all gone. Oh, that's sad.

But you know what? The jar's still full of a lot of places. I'll quickly get out of it now. And who else is also out that I can add to the sheet? Spain. Damn, that's a big one. How many Spanish listening? 36.

Oh, wow, that's cool. You know, I would say only three of them are bots. Yeah, actually, I think I've had a few people jump into the Overtinkers' feedback Instagram page saying you're from Spain and not a bot. Thank you for that. Okay, I've got a special guest sitting on hold team Is it me? Is it you?

Who know? Yes, you? The celebrity might be a word that's, um, maybe a, not quite appropriate for this guest. Did you know this was happening, Dan? If we had like a Margot Robbie or a Brad Pitt on, we wouldn't bury them in the only Oethinkers podcast, would we would be putting them on primetime radio. So, I mean, I'm nervous. I'm nervous to meet them personally.

Do you think I know that exist? Would you say they're a hero of yours? Meg's yawning already, hasn't even met the guest? Yeah, sad to the guest. He's waiting on the line, so he's already heard you yawn. Yeah, well. It's been a week. It's only Wednesday.

I know it's Friday today, isn't it? Yeah, shut my ass off. Pardon? Sorry, I've just been a short week. Guys, I have Alan Lynn joining us this morning. He is a guy that I have been following, and producer Carl have been following on social media for some time. Oh. He's got quite a few followers across social media.

almost 200,000. He goes by the name fiber daddy. Take a listen. This fart maxing recipe is the result of thousands of you sickos telling me about your farts. We had Chachapiti review your comments and found that these were the foods that would produce maximum volume farts with minimal stink. So now we're gonna create the loudest no stink fart in the name of science. We're gonna start with a liquid salad that has eight grams of prebiotic fiber to kick start fermentation in the gut. One large mission carb carb bounced towards you to thicken up our logs and tighten up the exit aperture of our bhole. One cup of black beans that produce maximum volume with

minimal sulfur. We're gonna make sure to drink the bean water because it's gonna turn charge our farts. One cup of fardichokes filled with fast-fermenting prebiotic fiber. We're going to make sure to drink the fart water here to boost our fart maxing. Parsley acts as a deodorizer to minimize stink. A small dose of cillium to increase gas flots. He knows what to eat and what not eat if you want the most potent farts. So if you want, if you're looking for the most... I can see where this is going. We're testing it. No, we're not.

You are not going to eat all the stuff that this Helen guy tells you. If you are, we're not in the room, Meg. How long ago did you stumble across, I guess, your niche and discover there was an audience that wanted to see you experiment in this way? Yeah, so it's, you know, it was definitely like stumbling into it. I started making content in May of last year, and it kind of immediately took off. So my first video on TikTok got like 50,000 views, the fifth video got like a million something views.

And it really was starting to, it really started. started with talking about fiber, and I kind of made a joke about how eating too much fiber would result in you becoming a fart monster, and people were really interested in what it would take to become a fart monster. So I kind of just like dove into the science behind it, and people were even more interested in it. And I ended up coming up with the recipe for how to fart max. Okay. And well, I'll stop you just quickly, because there's a couple of questions I have already. First of all, before we get into the recipe for the perfect fart, What is it a fart monster?

A fart monster is just, a fart monster is a fart monster, man. It's just when you're, you can't stop farting. So people are striving for this, are they? Is this, so that's, that's, you want to be a fart monster?

That's something that is a good thing. No, it was just basically talking about how, if you eat too much fiber, you will become a fart monster. And then, you know, good people on TikTok were interested in what it would take to become a fart monster. So I have,

course had to dive into the research and figure that out. Of course you did. And good on you for doing so, I guess. I mean, what is this recipe? You speak of the perfect recipe for it to become a fart monster. So what I ended, okay, so this is this is like what I realized, right, which is no one had ever dove into the science of farting and how to create farts, how to maximize the potency of your parts, right? And so really, there was a huge white space before diving into the science. And so we basically created this heart factor index of

how to maximize the parts. And there's a few dimensions to it, right? One is the volume of your farts, but how many farts you can, you know, you can blast out in an hour and then there's the stent. Alan, have you ever thought that because nobody had done it, it's because nobody needed to do

it? Well, I'm interested and no one's doing it to. thousand people are. Yeah. You know what? There's people studying heaps of crap, to be honest.

And I think this is one of the more I think credible things. Hard of fart. When you count all the other studies are going on. Yeah, so you've got a scale of like, I guess biggest, loudest, most,

most, like, I guess volume. Yeah. Which is the most frequent, loudest and the most disgusting in terms of stench. And then so we can measure all those, right? For example, we can get a centimeter

and we can use a meter. and we can measure the decibels of your fart just by putting your phone next to your beehole in terms of the frequency you can measure how many that you blast out an hour and then in terms of stench it's a little bit more subjective so you know what I'll do is

I'll just have someone sit next to me in a car or something like that and who volunteers for that? Who's the person who's the person the friend that you're like hey mate I've got a new fart recipe for the most lethal stench can you sit in the car and then give it a rating? Is that

happens? Well, if you watch the videos, it's mostly my mom. Oh, God. That's brilliant. Your poor mother. I have a question, Alan. Now, you, first of all, it's a two-prong question. Just a yes or no for the first part. Do you consider yourself a fart monster? Yes, I'm guessing. In the name of science, occasionally, yes. Second one, let's hear one.

Do you have one? Have you got one loaded up? Yeah. I've got nothing. You got nothing? Well, then I would say. you're not a fart monster. Clint can fart on demand. I mean, I did this fart with Dan.

We were away for the weekend and I woke up in the morning. You could be the judge. This is a real fart that I recorded and kind of just did in the room just to get Dan's reaction. So what would you conclude from that? What do you think he probably had in his diet to be able to have, that amount of volume. I can tell you why it's smelled a bit like kimchi, so there's definitely some of that in there. Yeah,

we would classify that one as a trumpet and you know, that one, there's a lot of volume and there's a lot of frequency in there. So really, if you want volume and frequency, you're going to be optimizing for fermentable fibers and fiber in general,

right? So like stench is largely driven by hydrogen sulfide, which is basically like, you know, so what's high in sulfur is like eggs, onions. I do eat a lot of garlic. Right? And the frequency and volume is a lot of fermentable fibers, you know, like inulin, artichokes, etc.

Wow. Do you want to play a game that we do every Friday called Guess the Fart with Clint Fartz on Demand? But beforehand, me and Dan have to guess what it's going to sound like. I mean, we'll bring it forward just for you because you're the perfect guest to play. So basically, we just need you just do it with your mouth. You guess along and then Clint will do it. And the closest to the guest win. Yeah, okay, well, I will begin, Alan.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you know on the intro? No, sorry, Clint. I thought that'll leave you with hairy eyes. Guess the fart, what's that smell? A stinky mystery four up to one hell. Guess the fault. Okay, are you going to go first to me?

Yeah, because I haven't been very good recently, Dan. You have been winning clean sweeps weeks on weeks. Let's go with a little, he's not prepared, you see. No, he wasn't expecting it. Not going to happen today. Yeah, I think he's going to happen today. in front of the scientists. I'm going to really strain it out.

Okay, so I'm going to go a really small squeaker. Okay. And I'm going to let Alan go next because Alan, you know, he's a fart monster, self-confessed. You go first and I'm going to sort of do what you don't do. Oh, my God, I'm going to get nervous. So are we guessing what kind of fart he's going to rip? Yeah, so you have to do it with your mouth, Alan. With my mouth.

All your body part, whatever you think. Can make it fat. Oh, man. All right. I'm going to call that the I'm going to call that the missile fire We're going to have to hear it again because it wasn't quite

Gourable Google Meat's done your dirty there through the speaker Yeah, try it again All right Can you hear me now? Yeah It keeps cutting it It's almost like Google Meat doesn't allow farts We just get this high pitch frequency that I imagine dogs can hear

Maybe it's very, very high Or unless he was doing one of those ones it's just like, ah. All right. Dan, what are you looking at him? I think I'm,

and I think he's going to go like this. Okay, a bit longer. So mine's a short, sharp squeaker. Could you just describe yours, Ellen? Is it a big trumpet? Like,

just so we can kind of figure out if you're close. It's a, it's like a long missile fire. Kind of like a protracted machine. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Yeah, okay. All right. I imagine this is kind of like, I know, literally really good to doing backflips. Back, I'm getting nervous. Backflips.

And then you, are asked to do one in front of Travis Pastrana and you're like, you know, oh, I don't know if I can now. Do you know what I mean? Would you consider yourself the Travis Pistrana of farting, Ellen? I mean, I've never... Ellen, totally this down. Okay, here we go, here he goes.

You must have known this is coming. Oh, he's got nothing to cause this is embarrassing, Alan. If he can't do it, he's only shed himself once. I'm not. We do this every week. I am not, Ellen. Oh, come on, Clint. Just special talent, come on.

Yeah. We always do it on Friday. Yeah, here we go. So embarrassing. Clint. This normally never happens. It happens to the best of us, Clint. It doesn't happen to every guy.

And it is a big deal. So just let it out. Just relax, man. Oh, Jesus. Fuck me. Dan, I'm in, I'm in a... Like, we've had long careers, Alan, in broadcasting. this is probably going to be one of the lowest points of it, to be fair.

This is where I'm regretting on the show. When do I get to plug my company? That drink Liquidplus.com, please. Let's do that now, actually, because otherwise it'd be a real shame to fart and then plug it, right? Liquid, drink Liquid Plus, which is like drinking salad, isn't it? Yeah, our product is called Liquid salad. It looks like this.

Basically, it's all your veggies, vitamins and fiber in a pouch. I kind of explain it as we can call it, as you can call it, friction out of your greens powder and you know people love it it helps them poop what does it taste like because i don't like salad so if we want it to taste as far away from salad as possible okay it's not teaser it's not uh it's definitely very sweet i would say it tastes like apple with a hint of veggies so it's actually really nice and the great yeah that's that's my type of salad we actually get a lot of ozies that message us every week asking for us to bring it over and You know, it kind of like breaks our heart because, you know, we can't really do that at this point.

But like we get a ton of Ozzy's coming in and asking for it. Wait, so you only just started this page. You started talking about farts and learning the science of it. And now you've created a product that you're actually mass selling around the world off the back of everyone's obsession with farts. Yeah, pretty much. Me, your mom must be so proud of you now or is in the beginning. She'd be like, what the fuck is he up to? Yeah, she loved, you know, we got featured in the New York Times.

on the front page a couple months ago, and you wouldn't imagine what it, you know, what fart maxing can do for you. Well, I mean, speaking of, let's go back. This nervous fart monster just, I don't know, today's not my day. You're a shit monster if you can't fart on the man.

This is going to be my biggest regret this week. And Daniel, you won't stop reminding me. In that time you didn't fart in front of Alan? Yeah. Or you want to be a fart monster. What you don't want to do is push too hard to become a shit monster. That'd be the worst.

So what? You can't order Drink Liquid Plus.com in New Zealand yet, but it's something that we can, or you can order it over from online. It's available in the US only and Canada for now in select retailers, but, you know, we have been trying to figure out how can we get it over to Australia just because there are so many Aussies that have been asking for it.

And I think it's perfect for you guys, right? Because you guys are super healthy, for active. Yeah. Well, we also have lots of podcast listeners in American Canada, so they'll be fun. True. So they can get amongst it. Some of them are bots, but... Yeah.

Okay, well, okay, well, I'll try it one time. One more time, come on. We might need the intro again after all. Oh, look at that damn one again. There we go. I'm another winner. Thanks. And then we normally just...

I thought that I leave you with hairy eyes. Jesus. Yes, I thought what's that smell. A stinky mystery for us to watch. I'm a bit lightheaded. I think I pulled like a hammy or something. That one was not ready. Oh God. That wasn't ready that one. That was a tomorrow part. Alan, thank you so much for chatting to us this morning. He's got to collapse lung after that. I need to lie down.

Far out. Alan, is this one of the most depressing and sad interviews you've ever done with a group of people laughing about farts and doing them into the mics? I've had a ton of fun. I love Aussies and I love farts. like this has been the best. Thanks, Alan. All right. Alan Lynn Plus on Instagram if you want to give him a follow. Otherwise,

drink the fart. I was just going to receive a whole lot of people. Here you go, Alan, no, did they say you wanted a fart? Yeah, actually,

if you do podcast the show, maybe, yeah, go hit up Alan Lynn Plus and just drop him a fart. Like, I'm sure he'd be like, bloody out of this fucking Kiwi. Poor Alan.

Otherwise known as Fiber Daddy online. Thank you so much for your time, brother. And good to see you in a space, like you said, an untapped market that no one else was invested in. Love it. Thank you guys. Cheers, bro. Thanks your time. Rover, Music, radio, podcasts.
