The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS I'd admit if I was!

Episode Date: March 17, 2026

We 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?

Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:19 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.
Starting point is 00:00:31 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.
Starting point is 00:00:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:17 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
Starting point is 00:01:28 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,
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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.
Starting point is 00:02:26 120. 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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.
Starting point is 00:02:54 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
Starting point is 00:03:14 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,
Starting point is 00:03:31 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.
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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.
Starting point is 00:05:43 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...
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:25 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.
Starting point is 00:06:49 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:21 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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
Starting point is 00:07:45 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
Starting point is 00:07:54 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
Starting point is 00:08:10 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,
Starting point is 00:08:28 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.
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:18 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.
Starting point is 00:09:36 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?
Starting point is 00:09:50 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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,
Starting point is 00:10:15 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,
Starting point is 00:10:29 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:58 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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.
Starting point is 00:11:44 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.
Starting point is 00:12:15 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:41 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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?
Starting point is 00:13:09 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
Starting point is 00:13:30 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,
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:19 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.
Starting point is 00:14:38 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?
Starting point is 00:14:49 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...
Starting point is 00:15:00 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.
Starting point is 00:15:23 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.
Starting point is 00:15:44 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.
Starting point is 00:15:55 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,
Starting point is 00:16:13 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,
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:48 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?
Starting point is 00:17:05 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
Starting point is 00:17:18 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.
Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:06 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
Starting point is 00:18:23 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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.
Starting point is 00:19:10 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
Starting point is 00:19:23 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
Starting point is 00:19:35 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
