The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS I'd admit if I was!
Episode Date: March 17, 2026We are spiralling over the "Longest Drink in Town" and honestly, my brain hurts. Jeremy’s dad designed the iconic Kiwi giraffe cup, but he hasn't seen a cent from the 120 million cups sold. Is t...he cup tall? Is the drink long? We also dive into the "Honest Day" hypothetical where no one can lie for 24 hours, and let's just say Dan’s answers about his love life got real awkward, real fast. Wait until you hear our heated debate on the moon landing—Meg is convinced it’s the biggest lie in history. Between killer whales being dolphins and the invention of the internet, we are overthinking absolutely everything today. You are not ready for the chaos! 00:45 – The $120 million milkshake cup tragedy 04:30 – The Honest Day: One question you can't lie about 05:45 – Dan’s "spinning plates" threesome nightmare 07:15 – Why Donald Trump would still get away with it 08:20 – Killer whales are actually dolphins (and we’re mad about it) 09:40 – Meg’s moon landing conspiracy theory 11:15 – Did the internet exist in 1969?

This is a podcast from Rover.
This is the Overtinkers podcast.
Good morning, afternoon, good evening.
Your host, Clint McG.
Dan and Dan.
What's he doing?
What's he doing?
What an odd thing to do?
Oh, you're like that annoying brother that just says,
I may copy it.
Stop copy me.
What?
You have to be good at it if you're going to do it.
What?
You're saying totally different things to me.
Dan's saying.
I'm a big,
fucking asshole.
Dan has a tiny penis.
In fact, people with micro penises laugh at him.
Oh, okay.
You did your own word.
You free sell there.
Anyway, all I want to say is welcome to the podcast.
Right.
You guys kept talking over me.
Is that what it was?
We were something on the actual show today
that we were going to overthink.
Oh, it was about the longest or the tallest giraffe in town,
the drink.
Yeah, we got a guy, Jeremy on.
And we're talking about lame claim to fame
and Jeremy's dad actually
If you're not from New Zealand you probably won't even know this
But there are like the
Kiwi milkshakes that come in a very long cup
And it has a giraffe on the side of it
And his dad designed that
Yeah which is an amazing claim to fame
But he's not rich for it
If you're from another country
You probably don't know what this thing is
Because it's a very New Zealand centrist
That's true
And speaking of which actually country eliminated
From the merch pack
Unfortunately
The United Kingdom
Oh UK
How many people?
people do we have listening in the UK? 448.
There's, um, yeah, it's all the, I mean, the only big one left
with listeners at the moment, I think, is either Canada or
Australia. Canada, eh? Yeah. Yeah.
Oh, well, supposedly Jeremy's dad doesn't make any money from it,
despite the fact if you Google, uh, the longest drink, um,
was it, yeah, the longest drink, it's on artworks, t-shirts,
even he doesn't see a scent of it? Uh, t-shirts, key rings.
It's a, it's a kiwi iconic thing, but I still don't know in the whole
time. I honestly want to talk to his dad.
I've always thought it should be
the tallest drink in town because it's a tall
giraffe. It doesn't make any sense.
Tall is up. Long is lengthways.
You don't have a drink lying down.
Oh, so you don't have a tall penis.
Okay, I've just googled. The longest drink in town
cup has been sold
in New Zealand since 1968.
They have sold
he's going to be kicking himself.
120.
Well, you can't start it after he's already said it.
Yeah, yeah. That was your fault.
anything with it.
Yeah.
A hundred and two.
Oh, fuck you're an asshole.
He's in a mood.
He's been in mood all week.
Or to be fair, he's getting me back for talking over him before.
120.
So stupid.
120 million though.
That's crazy, right?
Whoa.
120 million cups of gold.
He just roused with a number you said.
And outside of that, like with all the key rings and the artwork and t-shirts printed and God
what else.
So they're manufactured by a company called
Houtamaki,
according to Wikipedia.
Maybe it wouldn't have been as famous if he was
charging for it, maybe because it was free
and anyone could use the image, that's why it became so massive.
But, Meg, I think the giraffe,
if we're going to overthink it.
Tall.
A giraffe is tall, but his neck is long.
Whereas his neck isn't tall.
But the cup, the idea of the slogan
is because it's a big cup,
and you're like, wow, I've got a huge milkshake.
You would say it's a tall cup, not a long cup.
You would, yeah.
But the giraffe logo, is it not?
His body's like normal, and then his neck goes all the way up the cup.
So it's like the longer, like they're trying to say how long his neck is
because when you drink it goes down your throat, maybe like a giraffe,
and it's like the longest drink.
It keeps going.
Would you describe a cup, Clint, is long or tall?
Tall glass, a long glass.
You wouldn't say a long glass over long glass.
They said, man, how long is that drink lasting you?
And you go, oh, a tall time.
You'd be like, no, it's lasting me a long time.
A tall time.
Oh, God.
Producers and Eves?
Yeah, I always thought it was the longest drink in town because a milkshake's thick
and it just takes ages to drink.
So it's a long time.
Yeah, long time to drink a milkshake.
It would take a long time to finish rather than a tall cup.
That's weird, though, because I've never gone.
Oh, what a long drink that was.
Oh, that's going to be, how much is that?
That's going to be a long drink.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like nobody takes like that.
Long drink of coffee, please.
No, I never sees that.
Just I'll have a big cup or a tall club.
Yeah, a tall.
No one says a tall club.
Oh, shut the fuck up, Clint.
Honestly.
A door what?
What kind of cop are you?
I'd laugh you out of Starbucks.
You guys for a tall club.
Get the fuck out of here.
Shut the fuck.
I don't know what you're saying.
Little girl.
There'll be normal fucking people
and they'll be like, oh, she means cup,
but she just got a words mixed up.
So nobody would laugh me out of Starbucks.
Get out.
You clump.
It's true.
Produce a girl.
What about a long black?
You order that at a cafe?
You don't get a tall black?
No, you don't get a tall black.
You get a long black.
Oh, fuck.
Or short black.
Short or long?
Yeah, you don't get a tall black.
Oh, but they're a basketball team, aren't they?
Tall black.
I don't know who I'm talking about now.
The other thing that came up on the show this morning
that we didn't really get a chance to overthink is that we found out killer whales are actually part of the dolphin family, not the whale family.
Yeah.
We've already come to a conclusion, Clint, they are colloquially known as a whale, but really, technically, they're a dolphin.
Kind of like a tomato is a fruit, but they're known as a vegetable.
It's the same thing.
Oversick that anymore.
Whales don't have teeth.
They do, though.
They do have teeth.
They suck in krill and stuff.
Supposedly that defines the porpoise family of the dolphins and the killer whales because they have teeth.
So what you're saying is that whale is not actually a whale.
It's a porpoise.
I'm confused.
Is that...
Overthinkers
I got bored of that chat.
Oh, good.
Thank God for that.
Okay, a question this morning from me.
It is called The Honest...
My God, Clint.
Dan.
I'm not getting involved.
I used that question from me, and you went, me, and you held it.
So that's on you.
I'm not getting involved.
Just play the intro.
We start again.
The Honest Day.
Today on the Overthinkers podcast.
Once a year for 24 hours, everyone in the world must answer every question they are asked truthfully.
You are allowed to ask one question to anyone alive.
So you'll get one question, but everybody has to answer truthfully once they ask their one question.
Who do you ask and what?
Oh, this is a good one.
Thank you.
One question for every human in the world that must tell the truth.
Yes, but I'm just talking about you.
So you get, you get to ask only one question.
Oh, I thought I get one for you.
I get to ask Dan one.
Trump one?
You get one question, but if somebody decides to ask you a question on that day,
you have to answer truthfully.
So somebody could use their one question on you.
And there's 24 hours that you cannot lie.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Just your one question.
I know I can see you're overthinking at.
And you're saying that my rules.
It's kind of the podcast for it, I guess.
And the thing is you know, right, that they're going to answer 100% truthfully, right?
Because they're not going to beat around the bush.
So what you'd want to use this for was something, you'd ask,
someone a question
that you know usually
they wouldn't give you a truthful answer
so you can ask somebody in your life
or you could ask a celebrity
but most people in my life
I'd trust
so I wouldn't waste it on them
because I'd go
if I ask Hannah something
I know she'd usually just be trustworthy anyway
good question
but you could ask her like
is there any chance
we'll ever have a threesome
in our own
oh my gosh
and if she has to truthfully go
maybe
well then you now
is that your question to Jamie
but she would say that anyway
if I went home to Hanna
today and I said what are the chance of
us having a threesome I guarantee
she would say 1%
and I know she'd be 100% true
with that. Well that's 1%
So you're saying there's a chance. I don't think Dad wants
one. I don't know why it's my worst nightmare. It's like spinning
plates. I've said it many times because one of these ones is
going to orgasm. We've got to worry about this one over here.
Array yourself. So you've at least got
50%. Actually what you can see
now we're doing a video podcast these days. Dad
actually just wanked a guy off.
Oh, your threesome. It's an MMF.
Male, male, female.
So, because he was doing an action,
your right, which insinuated he was looking after his wife.
And then he did like a dittle pulling motion on the other side.
So I just want to let you know, Dan remember these are videos.
So you can't get away from it.
It's not a bad thing.
You are gay, though.
It's just not a bad thing.
I know, I would admit it if I was.
I'm just meaning like as a momentary thing.
Whereas if, I don't know.
All I'm saying is,
I'm wanking her guy.
Damn, it sounds like your wife chose the threesome.
Yeah, definitely.
Unfortunately, Clint's it to come off.
Clint's over.
No, that is not the first threesome I want to have.
Hannah's gone, I want a threesome.
He's gone, I'll be there.
And then he turns up and I'm sitting there.
Yeah, it's not Hannah and Jamie.
It's Hannah and Dan.
She could have come, Clint, but I tell you who can.
I can tell you who can make you.
Anyway.
I feel like, do you need to use your power for like the greater good?
of the planet.
But even if I got Donald Trump with something,
like, are you, were you doing dodgy stuff with Epstein?
And he went, yes, I was.
He'd still get off the hook.
Like, everyone goes, oh, he was forced to say, whatever.
I just don't think you can get that guy.
He's too slippery, so I wouldn't bother with him.
I think I'd ask about the moon.
Guys, like, we've just got to stop the life.
But you already know.
You already know.
No, but if you did know, do we all know that you now have the truth?
Or are you just someone going, I know the truth?
And we go, you have what are me?
Everyone knows.
I've got to ask my question,
be like, look, I asked on Neil Armstrong.
Yeah.
The world is also aware of the knowledge that you've gotten.
Correct.
Okay.
And that'd be a good one.
Because everybody in the world gets their question,
and some people will be asking their spouses,
but a lot of people will be asking Trump stuff.
And, in fact, I probably wasted it,
because I reckon tons of people will be asking Neil as well.
It's actually a big, it could be a great Black Mirror episode,
because you go,
this just out, blah, blah, blah,
use their truth question,
their once-in-a-lifetime truth question,
and the response from so-and-so was
and we all know, well, you can't lie
when you get given the truth question.
If you did the episode, by the way, Netflix,
if you did the episode, I reckon you get pulled,
like one person around the world
gets to ask one question, like,
and it has to be truthful.
And you'd be so pissed off
if this person did waste it on their girl
and be like, hey, did you like,
when you were looking at that,
man the other day were you fantasising about him.
They'd be like, oh, fuck, I don't care.
Girls would waste their questions so quick.
Well, most, there'd be so many good.
Like, okay, as soon as we find out,
we've got the ability. Okay, so
do you still have feelings for your ex and him be like
yeah. It's always televised.
They'll be the movie. They'll be the show right.
One person gets one question. You don't know who it's going to be.
They get to ask one person, that person
cannot lie and it's televised.
Imagine this. It's like black mirror, but even
better. Okay, imagine we've all found out
we have the ability to do this. It's 10 years on,
right? I am one of the few
people on the planet that still has my question
because I didn't want to waste it
and I wanted to use it for something important.
Right? Now, the pressure when everyone
finds out you still have your question like,
you need to use it for this, you need to use it for this.
I know what your question would be.
You used yours already. Leave me alone.
It would actually be torment.
Can I tell you what your question would be?
You'd ask Megan Fox if there was any,
if I was single and you were single.
I already thought about that.
Would you have sex with me?
Yeah, but I don't know if I want to know the truth.
Hold on, but what you're then taking into account then is.
I like the idea of that I have.
Rejected World War.
That Clinton even has the ability to ask Megan Fox.
No, but that's another thing.
You've been granted.
Well, I guess in this Black Mirror episode, you get the platform.
Okay, so every person can ask anyone in the world anything.
And you know what it happened?
This is how Dan would waste is.
They'd be like, right, let's say yours is like mine with Megan Fox.
I know what mine is.
So this will be interesting to see what you think is.
Well, let's say yours is like mine with Megan Fox.
And then we'd be sitting there waiting to find out if we've both got a chance with her.
And then she'd be kind of there on the screen.
You'd be like, hi Megan, are you there?
And she'd go, yep.
And then they'd be like, Dan, your question's off.
Oh, that's not.
And you're like, fuck.
No, he's probably right there.
How's your day going?
She's like, great.
Fuck.
I'm basically going, don't say, don't speak to her.
Don't speak to me.
Yeah.
No, I think what I'd do is I would, there's a couple of different options.
First of all, I'd want to go to like the top, the big muff.
What do they call them?
The big, the big cheese.
The big, the big guy.
They're definitely good.
The big guy.
All right, who here is the big muff?
I put my hand up slowly.
I'm sorry.
Me.
Does he mean?
Me?
The big cheese, the big dog.
Yeah, I'm a big, yeah.
Yeah, I'm a big, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And I go, not me, not me, no, the guy, the top guy of the US Army.
Right, okay.
And I go, honestly, 100% is there such thing as UFOs and have we made contact with them?
No, there's two questions.
Okay, have we made contact with the UFOs?
Yeah, that's good because then you're already encompassing the first one.
And then his answer would be yes.
No, but then he could be like, no, there could be UFOs, but they haven't had contact.
And you've just ruined it because they've gone, no,
we haven't had contact with UFOs.
What do you know about UFOs being on Earth?
You know, you've asked four questions now.
Dan, we need to sit down and write your question down
and then you just read it.
He writes on his palm and it's all smudged.
You just fucks it up still somehow.
And then I'd also ask David Bain,
the guy that allegedly,
in fact, he's been proven innocent.
I would find him and I'd go,
did you or did you not do the deed with your family,
kill your family?
Do the deed he's, I didn't have sex for my family.
No.
No.
Dan, the question's gone.
So he didn't have sex with him.
Fuck, people will be throwing their food at the TV.
You fucking idiot.
Why are they watching me on TV, asking my question?
Anyway, those are the two questions I'd ask.
The moon one's good, though, because I feel like that's your big thing, Meg.
Do you think we didn't land on the moon?
I just don't think we're lost in this lie.
We're too deep now to come out and be like, yeah, no, that was all propaganda.
I just think that there was too many people involved in the production of faking the moon landing.
It couldn't have been an airtime.
There would have been one person that would have blabbed eventually.
It was like 90 years ago.
And we were live from the moon.
Dan, we were live from the moon.
Yeah, I know that.
But we can't even conduct a phone call on the radio station sometimes.
They have the best technology in the world, you know.
Live from the moon.
The internet wasn't invented.
Well, they might have recorded and sent it down.
The internet was invented by then.
Was it?
Oh, gosh.
No, it wasn't.
It wasn't a public thing.
Like a WWW?
We were you...
Yeah.
Invented.
Okay, let's see who's right.
It was like the web in terms of...
1983, when did we land on the moon?
No, it was the 60s.
Yeah, but in terms of like the internet, it was definitely...
1969.
Yeah, but we're talking the internet is in the public use of it.
I'm talking about the actual idea of sending data.
Did the internet exist before a public commodity?
Did the internet exist?
Whoa, you're saying I'm wrong before the moon landing.
Did NASA have access to the internet in 1969?
Yeah, he's right.
Yeah, as I should have been.
Anyway, I think, you know, I wasn't expecting that.
It did exist at the time of the moon.
The precursor to the internet, Arapinit was created in 1969.
The same year, the same year.
So just the first connection.
So maybe.
No, Moon landing July, 1969, Arapanet, first connection, October, 1969.
Yeah, maybe they had their own secret.
And maybe that's why the quality was so good,
because no one was fucking jumping all over it
and using up the bandwidth.
It was invented yet.
The moon landing was July and the first connection was October.
So no, it didn't.
It's the same year.
They might have had it and then they released in October
because, you know, that mass has got everything first.
I'm with you, I'm with you on there.
I don't think we landed on the moon.
Even if we landed, I definitely don't think we live
broadcasted to every television in the world.
Okay, that's where I sit with that.
I think they have landed on the moon in terms of space travel,
but I think they weren't able to prove that they did
through the technology at the time.
So then they went in and like faked it up
and then everyone was like, this looks like bullshit.
They couldn't be like, okay, we did fake that,
but we really did land on the moon.
So they had to lean into the fake footage.
I just don't, like, I think,
can we land on the moon now if we wanted to do with the technology we have?
But we don't because we've already done it
and it just feels like a waste of money with what's going on in the world.
Or if we're not land on the moon, just we can't.
But we can land on the moon.
I think it's just so expensive to do so.
Like it cost the equivalent of like trillions of dollars
when we did it back in the 60s.
And so there's just not enough money in America
to be doing that, you know, to go around.
So I think that's the main reason why NASA doesn't do it
is because of the cost, but also it is a very dangerous thing to do.
The lying question we were talking about,
if you haven't seen the movie The Art of Lying with Ricky Jervais,
that's a great premise.
Is that?
Oh, yes, I love that movie, yeah.
You've got to be careful.
It's called the invention of lying, but yeah, I get what you mean.
Yeah, that one.
If you get a chance to get around us,
like everyone's telling the truth and just being blatantly honest,
which I don't think you're careful.
what you wish for, but then Ricky Jervace realized
if he lies, he could...
He's the first person in the world to realize that he can lie.
And when he does lie, nothing happens
and he's like, huh, and then he starts
telling other people you can do it, and then...
It's a great idea for a movie. Because the movie is
it's in a world where people don't know
lying as a thing. That's what it is.
You just have to tell the truth. And then he figures it out
you can lie. Yeah. And so he becomes like
this rich mogul because he's...
And he invented religion in the end.
Yeah, yeah. And a spoiler. That's what
that's what it comes down to, right? He just invents a
religion because he doesn't want to, his mother
who is passing away. She's like, I wish
there was something after life. And he goes, yeah,
there's a beautiful heaven. And then
she's like, what? What do you mean?
Yeah. And then, which is weird
because he's a hardcore atheist, but maybe he takes
fun, he takes the Mickey out of it. I don't know.
I guess that's him proving.
Other people will just believe what they're told.
So maybe if you remember of the podcast fam,
or getting back to the question that me just asked, the
overthinks, maybe you're a member of the podcast fam,
you can text fam if you're not to 3343.
We'll send you back the link and you can become a member
an exclusive member. There's also the Instagram
one. Overthinkers feedback.
Yeah. You can send us some things of what you would ask, who you would ask it to
and what you'd ask. You're way smarter than us. Because I don't
think we've nailed, like, we haven't. I don't think we've nailed the answer where you go,
oh my God, yes, that's what you should do. And you guys are clearly...
And I think you should team up. I think maybe it's one of those things where me,
you, Meg, and Dan go, let's use our question to
hit somebody with three questions. Because one isn't enough to get the answer.
So I ask the first.
We don't get to do that. You get one question.
I know, but off the back of it, if it's your turn, you go and hammer the same person.
You're like years later.
You get one question once a year, one person gets it.
Make up your own hypothetical question.
Wait, so I might not even get a turn in my lifetime.
No, you might not.
If I only live 90 years and they have 90 people.
I know, that's why you'd be pissed off if Dan wasted his fucking question asking me in box a few.
So it's like a lottery and you get pulled out of the hat.
Good, see you.
Fuck.
We've got to wait another fucking year
You'd be so angry
Oh you'd be hated
Before we go just very quickly
And I just want a short answer from both of you
All three of you
Similar vein
There's one day a day
Where you get that Will Smith
From Men and Black thing
Where you can get someone to forget one thing
That they've seen of you
Yeah
What would that be?
When I did the Sapius sushi jingle
Oh shit yeah
You give blast it to the CEO
You've forgotten that I ever did that
because they've never advertised with us since.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, they are still advertising.
Are they?
And I know what Clinton did do.
He'd make people forget that they saw that haker.
Or is there something else the whole season of New Zealand Idol, season two?
Overnkers.
Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
