The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS I stand by everything I said.

Episode Date: April 13, 2026

We are absolutely spiralling today after Dan dropped a bomb about his granddad that none of us were ready for. We dive deep into the science of when your body actually stops growing (bad news for some of us) and Meg recounts a "near-death" experience in Amsterdam that resulted in the most unhinged 45-minute voice note you’ll ever hear. You aren't ready for the "deathbed" requests she made for Guy. 00:25 – Dan’s granddad story and the 18-year growth rule.   02:15 – New Zealand's work-life balance vs. the Netherlands.   03:40 – Meg’s Amsterdam "muffin" disaster and the death voice note.   06:50 – Clint’s accidental "white stuff" experience at an after-party.   08:10 – Merging consciousness: What do our partners actually think?   10:15 – Meg’s "Burn Book" of Dan’s most offensive off-air comments.   13:45 – The $50k fuel "Fast Pass" keyword revealed.

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overtinkers podcast. Yolta, welcome Clint McGee, Dan, your host. We got a bit of unstable energy at the moment. So we just finished the radio show. Normally have a little bit of downtime. We thought, by great, let's just get it straight into it, baby. Unstable energy is a good way to put it.

You've been a bit weird all day. Dan was the one talking about his granddad's penis on ear. On ear, Dan. I was like, it's not a podcast. You're going to get in trouble for that. Everybody's seen their granddad naked. No. Haven't they?

Like when you're... Bridges and heaps going no. I'm like, no. So it's 100% of this room. I've never seen my granddad. I've never seen a grandparent full stop naked. Oh, well, I have. Once.

Dan was talking about how... I've made an impression, obviously. Your penis stops growing at 18. But there are other things that continue to grow like your nose in your ears, but your penis is not one of them. I'm gutted for you, Clint with that nose. Yeah. There's a dog.

that has come out saying that it does stop growing when it's 18, when you turn 18. So if you were ever thinking you're an 18, you're all going, oh, maybe it'll grow a bit more. Out of luck, sorry. I love you, yours. No, no. Very quickly, because I didn't do it yesterday

on the Overtinkers podcast, two countries eliminated from the prize. So I'm still yet to organise Netherlands and Oman. Oh, two countries. Yeah, we did the rest. And Oman. Netherlands is a lovely place, I've heard. It's like a...

No, but it's... I've heard it's just like full of fiords and stuff, the Netherlands. Wow, the Netherlands. Is that near Sweden? I don't know any of that area. No, you don't know? Gosh, it looks gorgeous.

They featured actually, I think today. I'm just going to pull it up. If you want to listen to our show, this morning, we're talking about how New Zealand actually featured for the third time in a row is the number one place in the world for work-life balance. And Netherlands... Yeah, I've been looking up...

32-hour working week for the Netherlands. They do four days on, three days off. Yeah, beautiful. Of course it's got, you know, it's like Amsterdam and Bronderdam and Dusseldorf or nearby Belgium. My mum and dad were in Amsterdam. They were going on some crews last year with their Canadian friends,

and they had a couple of days in Amsterdam. They were trying to find gummies or whatever because they wanted to try marijuana because it was legal. Mom would never try it in New Zealand because she's like, it's against the law. And then over there, she tried to find it. and then they found it

but they found it on the second day and it was when they were meant to be boarding the boat the next day I was worried you're still going to be hung over I had a couple of friends who went and were kind of not well dabbled but had done you know pot before and done

gummies and stuff before pot yeah okay do we not call it pot is it a bit of a boomer way to say it is it what are like devil's lettuce wacky baggy a bit of a wacky tobacco yeah so we don't call it pot anymore

but a gungia And they had a really, really bad experience. I believe it's potentially, all the ones they had anyway were a lot stronger than what we're used to over here. And they were unwell, very, very unwise, had the worst experience in the worst time. Yeah, my friends are the same thing. They had a muffin. And then the guy said, do you want half a muffin or do you want the whole muffin? And he said, that should have been the sign.

He said, oh, just I'll have a whole muffin because no one orders half a muffin. Yeah, of course. And he said they ate it all. Well, they had half of it, nothing happened. And then they ate the other half. And then realized that when it hit, they said that they were almost like cemented to the ground outside this tree.

That's what happened to my friends. Shut up. Was that in selling? No, that's exactly what was my friends. And they were like cemented like on a tree outside of my... How many people in Amsterdam just normal people walk past and go, oh, some fucking tourists.

Yeah. They're trying to get in front of some tram. and they were like, running as fast as they can, but their body's in slow motion. They were like, they were like never again. And nobody would help them either. It was really bizarre.

I think people were just probably so used to tourists. Oh, Stonis. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was glad. That scene in Wolf of Wall Street where he was trying to get to the car. You know, and he's like, he's trying to get to the Lamborghini,

opens the Lamborghini with this, like, foot. I've never seen that. Have he not seen the Wolf of Wall Street? It's almost like two or three movies. It's so long. It's, um, all I know from is, is obviously the Margo Robbie scene, and then this.

That's all I know. What is that? What is he doing? Is he just like rocking the team up? You were in a place once where it was legal way and you got really wasted on it. Yes. You talk about, yes, I did.

Definitely not given to me by my friend Clinton. Oh, you too. It was legal where we were. No, yeah, and my husband and I... Oh, wait, wait, wait, I keep forgetting they film this book. Oh, shit. Like, winking at each other. Oh God, you guys are idiots.

I've never done drugs in my life. No, statute of limitation. That was so long ago, Meg, we can't get in trouble for that. It was so long ago. It was such a long time ago. It would have been like 10 years. No, no, no, no. You were radio announcers.

You were aspirational people, and you're talking about doing drugs, which is illegal. And you know what? I'm disappointed in you both. Can I say? It almost got past in New Zealand. After this experience, I've never done it again because it was such a bad experience. I am actually genuinely very anti-drax. And I went to get the camera.

And my husband is too. Because of this experience that we had, we had a joint. And we thought, we just went back and forth between us. Because I thought that's what you do with the joint. Like you would do with a cigarette. If you were to smoke a cigarette, don't know. Sounds like you've done it before. And no, well, I don't.

That's the thing. What is funny about this is because, like, we were talking about it. I literally was so unexperienced. And I did it. Play some snoop dog. Inexperienced. No, I can't. We got so, we were so bad.

We thought we were dying. This is before kids. So it does show you that it was a long time ago. We thought we were dying. And so Guy and I genuinely did a 45-minute voice note. No, no, no, no. With, like, requests after death. Yeah, and they sent them to me.

Like, I'm going to fulfill the request because it was my fault. And are you paying as well? I was like, no, that was meant to be like a year's worth me. smucked it in a night. Well, this voice message still exists somewhere. I don't know. It'd be somewhere on guys, so he actually never wanted to hear it again

because he had such a bad experience. He didn't remember that night. Like, he never wanted to, like, we laughed, but it was so bad, and so we've never touched any of it since. What did you remember? I can't even remember one thing that I could be,

that's what you wanted me to do, or that's what you wanted me to pass on in terms of a message. I don't, because me was up, we're going to die. And these are the things I need you to fulfill, you know,

as part of my, like. I was in a loop of, like, forgetting every seven seconds. I kept repeating myself every seven seconds. So it was probably... Why was Clint the guy you called? Well, he gave it to me.

Allegedly. Allegedly. Because he used to be a dealer, right? Is that allegedly? No, I never dealt. That's actually false. Why are you winking at the camera? I'm not winking for that one.

I was given some and then I was like, oh, give some to my friend Meg. Genuinely not recommend it. I was like, I think you're going through some like sad time. We had a family member die. That's right. And I was like... No excuse, but yeah. And I was like, well, from my experience, you always have a bit of a laugh and everything's funny on that.

So I was like, this will give you a chance to at least have a bit of a laugh about something. Not for our brains. Not good for mine and guys' brains. What was good about it? Well, it was bad at the time because we were both really bad. It would be good for one of us to be okay. But because it was so bad, none of us have, neither of us have touched it since. So it's quite nice to be like camaraderie with him to be like we both hate it.

Yeah. The only time I've ever done drugs. Oh, okay, suddenly. Allegedly. Allegedly. spoken about it before. Oh yeah, when you accidentally snorted. Yeah, so I went to a thing.

Let's just say it was the Shadyosho Schwartz. And there was... I am actually genuinely confused as to where that is, so you've done well to cover that. Yeah. The New Zealand Shadio Shashords. Oh, yeah, right, okay, I know where I was now.

And this was many years ago, and there was an after party of sorts, unsanctioned after party, and there was some... Allegedly. Allegedly. Some shivered slashes. No, no, no what he called. It wasn't devils.

No, what's that white? No, devil's letters is green. Sure. Okay. Anyway, there was some of that. And I was pear-pressured into doing it, and so I had a little bit of a... Up the nose.

Literally. And nothing happened. Nothing happened. I was like, oh, that shit. Well, obviously it was really bad. I went home, and I had a cold that week. And I had a bit of a blocked-up nose, and I laid down and went to sleep,

and I'd obviously sniffed like that while I was laying a bed. And what happened was the next eight hours was just of, like, hell. I was like on a fucking looge. Eight hours! Eight hours. Yeah, I couldn't sleep. Slow metabolism. Yeah, honestly.

Jesus. I remember being like, the bed's moving. I remember being like the beds, like going down a hill. I think it was shocking. Drugs just don't work well with my brain. Don't do drugs. I think the key moral here is don't do drugs, eh? Yeah.

You gave away a lot of your alcohol. I gave away all my alcohol to need. Yeah. Me got real serious about it. Yeah. Yeah, it's gone now. Oh, is that all gone now? Yeah, I think there might be a bottle of gin left,

but that's just because none of us. drink, Chad, but the rest of it's gone. Me and Guy had a real, like, when we first moved into our house, we were, like, we needed a liquor cabinet, kind of like your parents used to, and we had Malibu, Southern Comfort, like, we had all the old school schnapps. Snaps. Pets! Peech snaps!

They put it in... What would you put it in? Champagne or something? I put it with lemonade. Pete snaps. Oh, yeah. Frank Jellico. Jack Daniels, all of them. And you put peach snaps in like your cream, so when you do like, Brady?

Brandy snaps, and they would have like that. Oh, wow. No, I never did that. Oh, mum's always put alcohol on everything. When you cook it, the alcohol comes off, it's supposed you should tell me. You don't really cook cream, but you just whip it. Yeah, I think you just whip it and it's still alcohol. That's just alcohol-laced cream.

Even my nana used to let me drink. I must have a little, like, brandy, and it'd be like flavors. She had like plum brandy and all different types of fruit brandy. She didn't give us, like, it was like a tiny little miniature wine glass. Oh, it looks like a kind of little pork glass. Yeah, like a little shot glass with a stem. There you go, giving her grandkids the taste for alcohol good on it. Yeah, and we'd go around to Nannas and we'd love it.

Can we have a brandy? And I don't, honestly, God, don't think we would have been 18. Maybe even 15, 14, 50. Allegedly. God, his dick hadn't even stopped growing getting alcohol. Maybe that's what you needed to have done. Yeah, maybe. Have a shot brandy with Nana.

Times were different back then in the 90s. You get away with that. Bullshit than 90s. Yeah, well, I was born in 80s. I was born in 85, so I wasn't doing brandy. And when I was four. Yeah, I don't think. Let's hit the intro.

Yeah, we're going to get in trouble for that? Jesus. Oh, no. Today on the Overtinkers podcast. We're overthinking. I'm overthinking that last. Yeah, do we just cut that all out? No?

Okay. Oh, I'm fine. It's you two. Well, no, you're the one that did the hardest drug. You're talking about class, eh. That's illegal. At least ourselves's illegal in a lot of parts of the world. Normally's got past here in a referendum.

Should we start again? Too late. You said you would worry. Plus, you've told that story many of times as well. Yeah, that one's been fine. But you've told it in comedy sets, which I would argue, when you're accused of it, you go, oh, that's comedy. Like, that's a made-up story. Yes, it was comedy.

So was my, I was made-up story. Yeah, I mean, we were all making it up. Okay. Something to overthink today. You two can merge consciousness, or me, all three of us, can merge consciousness for one hour. completely experiencing each other's thoughts, insecurities and judgments. Afterwards, you can never unknow it.

Do you want to do it? I get to think or damn things for an hour. You get to go on my brain and know what I... What do I get from it for doing it, though? You just know it. Nah, I would rather not know. Ignorance is bliss. I'd rather not know what you were thinking about me.

I don't know just about you. It's just my life, my brain. So you get to go... She thinks of everything. And then you'd be like, fuck, that makes sense. You'd be able to understand her better to work with it. I think with Clint's brain it would be fucking fascinating.

Don't you think to find out what he thinks? No, I don't want to be, no. What if you jumped in my brain, you realize there's just nothing going? I don't think there is because I think that's why you have to talk everything out. Because I don't think you, whereas you go into my brain, you go, holy shit, it's busy in there. My brain's already bugger enough. I don't want to take on someone else's issues. I don't even know if I'd want to do it for my own wife.

Really hard when you start realizing what she truly thinks about the most intimate things. So true. The closer you are with them, the worse it would be, because they would be thinking about you then. And you'd hear their true thoughts. What about this? What about this? Oh, yuck, yeah. Maybe not.

You have to do what Meg said, but you either have to get into your wife's brain for an hour, or she's allowed in yours for an hour. Which one would you write that? Well, yeah, which are you... She's out of mine, I don't care. Oh, fuck that. I'm not letting her go in my head for an hour.

What are you thinking about? What are you got to hide? I don't know. I just think of all the things that she knows that I want to do and that I think about, she'd be like, oh, the anxiety would give her. You must be such a horny man She must be so rawny.

It is sex every eight seconds with Clint. I know, but I genuinely, and this is a hand-on-ha, I don't think I, and maybe I'm in the minority here, I don't think about sex very often. You're in the minority. Yeah. I don't think Guy my husband does either, Dan. No, like I love it, but I wouldn't be all day thinking about sex.

I might cross my mind maybe once a day, but that'd be it. Once a day can't be true. What about just sexual stuff? Like if you just see something and then it seems sexual. Like, I know, like Meg just like bends over to pick something above the floor. No, definitely not.

Sorry, Meg. It's all right. Legitly. Allegedly. Yeah. No, I don't see Meg that way. So I wouldn't. And I wouldn't, like, even if it was a really sexy girl. Say, for instance, a really sexy girl came in.

I wouldn't even then. I probably wouldn't. Okay, well, we're just talking about me. So why you? Even if they were hot. Even if they were hot dance too, wouldn't. Yeah. It's such a guy.

to me. No, no, Meng, now come on. Now, that is not mean. I just don't look at you that way. I think you're a very nice-looking lady. Nice-looking lady. I'm putting that in my notes. Okay.

I think you're quite a... What's the word I'd use to describe Meg? I don't know. She's... Oh, God. Yeah. She's easy on the eye. Let's go through some of the things.

I'm not sure if we've shared this on the podcast before. Meg has a list of things that she's written down in a notebook. You can't read them. Can you read some of them? I'll see if there's even one I can possibly read. You can't read. But you've written down, she's a lovely looking lady. That one.

I write down things that Dan says to me. I write down things that Dan says to me off here that I can use against. I don't have a list. I don't know. It's water off the tux back. Okay. Okay, we'll go one for one because I've only got a small list. Okay. Okay, this one's just about yourself.

You said I've got cramping my side from making myself laugh. Okay, here's one for Meg. You're a pathetic little man. Okay, if we go in there. You, oh, shit, some of these are bad, dad. Okay. I can beat parts of it, maybe. No, you can't.

Oh, but we've got that fucking video. No, I can't. Okay, so I can't say that, can't say that. Can't say that. Oh, but you said... You saying that makes it seem worse than it is. Definitely can't... What about?

You could eat a whole pizza? Yeah, I've got... You'd eat a whole pizza, A. He said that to me. What'd die? You'd eat a whole pizza, right? But she would. She would.

No, I wouldn't have... No, I wouldn't have a whole pizza. She didn't finish it. I would have had the last two. I wouldn't have eaten a whole pizza. You said to me you look like you've got stinky tits once in. That's right. But that's out of context. I want the context that makes you look like you had a stinky tit.

What makes that like fun? You've also said... Meg said that I... No, I can't even say that. I'd be happier if women didn't exist. You've said that. Oh, but that would have been a joke. How could I hate women?

My mum's one. You said, I wouldn't say show me to vivid. up my ass as a fetish, it's just a bit of a laugh. It's when Dan took an energy drink, he did some musashi and he went bonkers. I can't hide anywhere there, that one. Neither could the vivid.

He's going to help that? All right. I can't, to be honest, I can't read, I can only read one of Meg's ones and I've only read it out already. What about when you said blow some beans at my muff please? That was a tick. That was a tick, yeah. That wasn't directly at me.

He was anyone in the room. He was aiming that of me and you. Oh my God. I think I had a Clint one. Oh yeah. Here we go. Clint's one. He said to me one time,

I don't wear nappies, you stupid bitch. That doesn't need any context, do you know? Oh, I don't. She was accusing me of wearing nappies. But he got very defensive, which makes us think that he has worn nappies.

He was like, I don't wear nappies, you stupid bitch. But they were like, oh, fuck, okay, man. He wasn't even in the conversation. It was being dad. I was editing audio,

and you guys were talking, shit about me. So I pause the audio to let you know that I don't do that. Anyway, behind the scenes we're very lovely to each other. The problem is, we talk like this to each other, which I've seen online is like there are a bunch of studies talking about, the stronger the friendship, the more ruthless you can be with each other because they're not going

to like catch feels and get all upset. Oh, don't worry, I won't. We leave the studio here and we'll go to the kitchen. And Meg or you, Dan, but one of you one of you was taking a shot at the other. Who was it? Just in the kitchen before, that was me. And I was like, I was went to laugh, and then I, like, saw these people around us. I was like, oh shit, we're not in the studio.

It was when I said to you, I can't believe you would rather have a cup of cold sick in your mouth than something else. So it was me again, bullying me? No, that was me just questioned. Your decision. She's so blazee about it. She's so blazee about it. Sorry about that. Anyway, oh, well, this has been 22 minutes of mayhem.

Garbage. Yeah. And I think if we get out of this. Without a broadcaster, we can't get broadcast down as complaints from this, can we? Not on a podcast. No, podcasts. It's genuinely the international waters and audio media. The thing I worry about, and I don't want to give anyone any ideas,

is when they hear us say something, and then you clip what we've said, put a quote around it, and it becomes a new story. And you go, oh, okay, yeah, I did say that, but in the context of joking around with my mates. My husband has a podcast called The Extremely Casual G gamers, and somebody every week always does extremely casual. game is out of context and they'll just do exactly that they'll clip one thing that they've said

and every time if I haven't listened to the podcast I'll go, what the fuck does he say? What the fuck does that mean? I have to go back and listen and find out what the context was. Producer card, look after us. Oh no, I'm just waiting for you guys to wrap it out. I'm on the upload page at the moment. It says here, tick if the podcast is explicit or contains drug chip. Should I tick that?

Yeah, if you could just... That'd be good. That'd be ticked the most days, wouldn't it? It probably should be actually. I think as soon as you drop in what, even an S word, Wouldn't that still be explicit? Like what a... We do need to stop swearing. Everyone's like

gauge or level for what's appropriate or inappropriate is different. Looking at you, Liam from Ireland, he says the more cooked our podcast get the more he loves it. But he also might not be in the majority.

Yeah, I don't... Yeah, I look, I stand by everything I've said here. Hold on a second. And in the next quarter, and I stand by everything I see. See you, mate. It's been so good.

working with you, Dan. It's been such a ride. I have, you know, it is true. Okay. And if I get fired for that, so be it. You know? Your wife's going to be so pissed off. Yeah, she'll be pissed off. So be it. One last thing. We're going to give you a keyword for your fast past

if you're a New Zealand listener, so that if we ask you, say, on Friday morning, what is the keyword from Tuesday's Overthinkers podcast? You can text that through to us on 33443, and then we'll call you back and give you a chance to bin for 50K worth of fuel. The keyword is exhaust. Exhaust.

Okay. Now are you talking about the exhaust on a car? Yes. Okay. Yeah, as opposed to... The exhaustedness of someone. Oh, that'd be exhausted. Hmm.

I don't say I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I know. You could say I exhaust. I exhaust. Oh, exhaust is good. Yeah. See ya.
