The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS praying for a blackie

Episode Date: June 3, 2026

We are officially panicking ahead of the Radio Awards! We’re praying for a "Blackie" win, but between Meg getting roasted mid-makeup prep and Dan defending a $3,000 suit because he apparently has the same leg measurements as Beauden Barrett, we’ve completely lost it. Add in a thirsty text from Dan’s mum about Lewis Hamilton and our boss accidentally entering us into the wrong age demographic, and it’s pure pre-show chaos. Hit play before we face a live lie detector test!

This is a podcast from Rover. Overthinkers podcast. Kiyoda, welcome, Kulmega Dan, your host. Currently, if you are watching this, actually, we have a video podcast. You'll be able to see the transformation of Meg go from an 8 to a 10. Have you seen the show Beauty and the Beast? In the last hour, she's gone. Oh, bloody how.

I went makeup on, I took it off, and you guys were like, oh, God. There's the best. Put it back on. And now she's halfway back to beauty. Meg's getting her makeup done for the Radio Awards, which are this afternoon, nominated for a few different things. She's halfway through now.

She's probably not quite beauty yet. I think she's probably the teapot. The teapot. The teapot's all right. She's right. She goes hard. She goes hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's right.

Yeah. At least you're not, what's that other one? The chandelier? The clock's boring. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah.

I wish I could get makeup done because I... We could do. You can do a bit of eyeliner. Sam, who I would say is one of the most premier year makeup artists in the country. If you want to get her to do your makeup, you can. Just email. What's your email, Sam?

Hello at samhart.comodon. Yeah, Sam Hart. And Hart is H-A-R-T. Not H-E-R-T. Yeah, not the way Dan spells it wrong. Anyway, what would you do, like looking at Clinton eyes faces, what would you do to sort of bring us up? Well, I actually do your makeup all the time.

Yeah, so what do you usually do? The billboards, you know. Yeah, what do you do to me? I have an eyeliner for sure. Right, okay. Can you, is there any... Give my wing, give my wing. Maybe some colour correcter on the red cheeks.

Yeah, the red cheeks. And would you sort of, how do you get rid of my jails? Do you do anything? A lot of contour. A lot of contour. And Clint, what do you do? Just a little bit of spritzy's fine, eh? Yeah, nothing.

Nothing. Yeah. Nothing. I mean, you think it'll bring him down to take a couple of notches if you do anything. Yeah, good on you. No, because we want some and take the shine off, Dan, when you're under the lights, except in your award. You know what?

Don't put it. Yeah. Oh, good on you. Do you want to go through your speech, Dan, with us? Do you want to rehearse it? I don't know. But what if you don't get it, then we'll never know. We'll never know what you're going to say.

Yeah, but it's not that exciting. It's just I'm going to... There it is. There it is. Okay, we'll do the whole thing like. Okay, so we'll announce the award. And the winner of the Blackie Award goes to hit the spot.

It's Dan Weavy. Randall, Ashlandon, Mick Vancell, Carl Thompson, Bella, Holt and DPR. Last name. Come over to the stage. What's the... That's people clapping. Oh, is it? Oh, wow, this is amazing.

So, oh God, I'm a bit overwhelmed. If you told my wife that I was going to be winning anything to do with hitting the spot, she would be surprised. That's so bad. She wouldn't be surprised or she would be surprised? Make sure it's clear. Why are you fucking on the mic? I'm sorry.

You'll get you a moment. Okay, I'm back off. Yeah, thanks, honestly to everybody at the edge, especially the people that pile into the studio when we do this. You know, it makes us look like we've got 17 producers, even though we've only got two. You go, keep going. Obviously, I just need to make a massive shout-out to ballet, our web girl,

who just works tirelessly behind the scenes to make us all. Oh, cool her a web woman. She's not a girl. Why the fuck are you here? You did nothing towards this. I don't even, where's Ash? She did this. Okay.

And yeah, she does it and makes me look great. And special shout out to Carl, our producer, who will be on stage. She's standing there. And I'll go, it's one of the most stressful jobs in radio. He had hair before this. But the thing is, we've known Carl for many. Everyone knows Carl in the industry, so they know that. It's been bald for a while.

Yeah, but that's what makes it funnier because I go, oh, you get it. and then I'll go okay well thank that's all for me I'll hand over to Meg and Clint I'm sure Meg will on a clip thank God and then he comes up and thanks God okay cool and then I'll go thank you God

and then Meg said she was going to finish with a couple of gags and then Meg comes up and she goes fuck me Sam love that if you do that you see me up for that

I'm not and she won't have gags she won't know her being like a dare in spotlight since you'll have have to go, oh, oh, like that. Because her brain will have nothing else inside it except. Just do the bit, do the bit. Just do the bit.

Don't get. Meg will run. I reckon Meg would run off day, trip and fall. Which I'd argue would be less embarrassing than doing the gags. Yeah, true. Anyway, oh well. Trips on her wedding dress. It's how down she goes.

Oh yeah, it's a weird choice. Meg's wearing her wedding dress tonight. Because Dan's wearing his wedding suit, which I found out. Dan spent three grand on. That's outrageous. Did I tell you about the time? Did I tell you about when I got that fitted. So it was a special was from a company called Crane Brothers. Hannah was like, if I'm spending thousands on my

wedding dress, I want you to look really good in your suit, so I want you to spend money. So we budgeted like two grand each. And it ended up mine ended up being more expensive than your dress. Crazy, eh? Fuck off. Yeah, anyway. When I was getting fitted for it, you won't believe this, and it'll sound like it's a lie, but this is genuinely... They had to make the front of the

pants real baggy? No. Oh, did they say, do they say, I've only ever measured two people, it was like the wand, and Harry Potter, like he's like, I've only ever done these measurements of one other person, David Beckham. No. Was it like that?

That's pretty much. Oh, God! So he was measuring my legs and he goes, fuck, hold on, I'm just going to go over for a second. And he went over to the drawer and he came and he was like, we had Bowden Barrett in the other day and you've got the exact same leg measurements as him. Shut up, that doesn't happen. I swear.

Why would I make that up? Because you make up a whole lot of shit. I don't. I don't. I genuinely, he was like, that is incredible. And he had to show me the fittings, Bowden Barrett. He saw you coming and then he goes, by the way, three grand And you were like gladly

So it butteres you up and then hits you with a giant bill Yeah I know and I was like What else does a suit do? I would need it to do something else I don't know like it doubles as a fucking wetsuit or something For $3,000 Well it does it like I've worn it for literally every radio

Awards I've ever been to Cost per wear right Yeah and I wear it to any special event weddings I've just I've got lots of wears out of it It's made it Is it the it's like a navyish colour That's a navyish colour? with a silver tie.

Are you going to wear the whole lot? The cravac in what it is? There's not a cravat. I'm not fucking Austin Powers. We're a cravat. Come on, man. Broomey, baby. Yeah.

You could be going up. What's the day? Sadie Dalek. No. We'll go up, hey, guys, hit the spot. We're so excited for the award, but I shouldn't be speaking. I'm fucking Austin Powers.

It's something he wants to say to say to his bit. Fucking out. No, so anyway, that's that. Oh, man. after all this we've probably jinxed it won't win I don't know why we're even talking about it to be honest well you know it's nice to relish

in the accomplishment before we lose yeah because right now it's like when you you've got a ticket for lotto yes 20 million and you sit there and go well it could be mine great analogy Meg yes yeah you're like oh my god you get so excited of course it's never going to be you but there's that there's that chance

it's got to be somebody why not you yeah and you've got a one in three chance don't you You can watch it live if you want to. If you are into radio awards, you can watch it live. Yeah. I'm here it's watch every year. We weren't nominated this year for the show award. No.

And our boss came in before. Should we talk about this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he said, unfortunately, guys, I dropped the ball a little bit, and the reason you weren't nominated is because I put the age bracket demographic in wrong. And so you lose points.

Yeah. And then he goes, it wouldn't have changed the outcome. You still wouldn't have got nominated because your results in the survey was shocking. I felt like saying to him, what did you tell us that? Fuck off. And he was like, he was like, oh, got that off my chest.

We're like, what the fuck? So what you're saying is, even if we got more points, we still would have lost. Yeah, yeah. I felt like saying to him, you know what? Our previous content director, Casey Sullivan, he was a great content director, and I liked him better than you.

The reason I don't like you better is just mainly because you're a cunt. Got that off my chest. I feel better. Thanks to that, boys. Yeah. No, but my point, and I didn't want to push the envelope because I was like, I could tell you how bad? Where it was like, I go, well, have you seen the scores?

Like, have you seen the scores of first, second and third? Because they historically, they never show them. So if you lose, you never know by how much or how close you got, right? Which is obviously very frustrating as a nominee. And I go, do you know the scores? And he goes, no. And I'm like, then how do you know if we'd added an extra five points it wouldn't have made a difference?

Well, not with your show. He's like, yeah, with normal shows normally. But with your show, absolutely not. It was diabolically bad. It was worried we were going to find out tonight chatting to someone who maybe scored our award that we dropped the ball in a certain part of it and we would have gone, what?

And we'd be like, yeah, so you lost points there. No, everybody drops the ball. Anyway, yeah, we were nominated last year and missed it. And then this year, I think it's, for those in New Zealand that care, I think give a shit. I think it's more FM, ZDM and The Rock. And I think last year, it was

all of those three and us, wasn't it? Or is it my? Is mine in the running? My's in there because it's four normally. Oh, is it My Moore Rock and Us? And it was, yeah, ZDM, Us, More FM in The Rock last time. Yeah. So mine swapped out.

Yeah, we're not in it. We're not in it this year. Play a little sweep of Clint because I've got something here. Okay, cool. Play a little thing. Yeah, yeah. There you go. Really?

Off you go. Play it. Really? Do you want me to play me? Yes, please, Clint. This is the Overthinkers podcast. So I just got a message from my gorgeous mother jewels. You got mail.

She sent a photo of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. She's not a big Formula One fan. I am. I love Formula One, and my favourite driver is Lewis Hamilton. And she's just texting gone, O MFG, fire emoji. This man is fucking hot. Oh, my God, Jules. Word for word. Word.

Show us the picture. This one. Let me see. Oh yeah, he's got like a blue cardie That literally if I wore You would give me shit about Because it looks like he's only done up the bottom button Yeah

And then he's wearing like almost like white speed dealer Rapparound Sunnies Now He looks like Kim's had a bit of a hand in that outfit Do we call Jules? Yeah, go on And ask her what she sees in him Because he's not the sort of person

I would have thought she would go for I love that she messages her grown son there Yeah, what's her type What is her type? Because she, famously we've spoken about it before My dear mother She was with my dad for many years. He looks nothing like Lewis Hamilton.

By the way. I'm going to call her in to see if she... Are you? You're going to regret picking this one up? Mom. Honestly, she's such a boomer. She thinks it's a fucking telemarketer. Oh, God. She hates telemarketers too.

She'll go, I'm not interested. Thank you. Bye-bye. Do you have a quick five minutes to talk about your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? What's her problem? Why is she ignoring our calls? God, arts are you fucking... We used to do this thing we'd pretend to be a telemarketer and see who could keep Jules on the phone the longest.

The record was 14 seconds. She doesn't want to be called. What's going on? Well, she's maybe she's having a bit of alone time with that photo. Oh, God, no, she's not. Well, she wouldn't have texted her son mid alone time to go, he's honny. No, she'd text you. And then she was like, right, what am I going to do now?

Because she's retired, right? Yeah. So what does she normally do at 9.30 on a Thursday? Well, I know. Well, I take what she's not doing at 9.30 on Thursday is what Meg's suggesting. Okay. Hey, are you guys ready? I think pretty much it's meant to be now.

So it might be a shorter, um, overthinker's podcast than normal. Um, we are about to step into a lie detector test. Yeah. There's supposedly some detective, well, that's what Carl's calling him, who's going through. to be facilitating the lie detector test. We've submitted questions that we'd like to know about each other already.

Yeah, I submitted some questions, and then I sent through 10 questions for Meg and 10 questions for Clint. Wow, we did five each. And then I received a message from Meg after the fact saying, oh, don't touch kids or anything like that. Yeah, absolutely. Don't ask about my kids. You're going to be gutted. Because I wrote a couple of questions about, like, who's your favorite?

Well, that's stupid. Who's it, it might be a chance for you to really a shout out. Like, what's the thing you love most about your kid? Could be a nice thing. Well, that's not the question. The question is, who's your favourite? I did like, who's the worst co-host you've ever worked with? Which I think is an easy one.

Oh, my. I text, who do you think's more talented between Clint and I? Oh, my God, Dad. I know. Me and Clint talked about ours and we're like, we've kept it, like, kind of nice to each other. Dan went rogue. Yeah. What else did I?

What do you do if you get a question you don't want to ask, answer? Do you veto it? No, because then it seems obvious. That you wouldn't just give an answer. Say for instance the question was to me, who's more talented, Clinton or Meg, and I go, oh, I don't want to answer that. People then assume, so you're better to just answer it.

Yeah, like if I said, Dan, have you ever had an STD and you said, I'd rather not say. Yeah, exactly. It's clearly yes. It's clearly yes. Yeah, so sometimes vetoing the question answers the question. Yeah, that's true. It is a scary prospect getting a lie detector test

because you sort of, I don't know what will come up. And sometimes you just want to keep things to yourself. Don't you think you can beat it? I've always thought I could beat it. Of course you fucking do. If you calm yourself and you honestly, like an actor, Meg, convince yourself, let's say, someone asks, are you 25? And you convince yourself, like as an actor, you believe you're 25,

you take yourself back to when you were 25 without kids and you go, yes, I am. Don't you think you could get away with it? I think I could. I'm so opposite to you. I'm fearing that I would be telling the truth and I'll say I'm lying. And you're so nervous telling the truth. Yeah. It will say you're being deceitful.

I'm worried about that too, Dad. I'm worried that I won't be able to no matter what. If I say something that actually is truthful, it goes, no, that's a lie. That will really piss me off. You're going to have to go out mid-maker. We're all doing it separately, I think. You've been going through like 40 minutes and it's only the eyes done so far. Is that right?

they are looking fabulous the Mona Lisa wasn't painted in a fucking 45 minutes session mate I think it literally was I genuinely think that was the whole thing of it Mono Lisa was not painted in 45 minutes I'm gonna find out I think it was like one of those ones where they're like just perfect

No I think it was painted in 45 months It was like within the day but I think it was maybe a couple of hours Leonardo da Vinci started painting the Mona Lisa in 1503 He worked on it intermittently for four years Oh my picture yeah but within that time

it was literally an hour Shut that, fuck us so he did in four years he did like 10 minutes a year yeah he was looking at all shit he was doing the

15 minutes a year Meg but he was doing the he was doing the code as well wasn't he Da Vinci Code and due to his perfectionism

he kept he kept the painting with him and continued to refine it until his death in 1519 never officially declaring it finished

so it actually took him 16 years still wasn't finished and we just went fuck it, mate. Put it in a frame and get it on the wall. I think Dan might be good at the line to check to tears because he doesn't even know when he's not telling us.

When he's Jews, unaware when he's like. Is 1590 before Christ? No, because it'd be like you do BC and AD. So 1519 to be 15 AD. So God was around 1,500 years. I do find it wild that we like, even though I mean I'm not religious

Dan, you're not religious, but the whole calendar is run on like. You're right. Everyone agrees to the world. calendar being after the death of Christ. Everyone, regardless of your religion, no one in a different religion is saying it's not 2026 right now. What if you believe in Geisha? Geisha. If you ask them what year it is, I'm sure they still say

2026. That is crazy. It's like Christmas. Everyone's, well, no, everyone, I suppose. I don't know if Muslims do. But, I mean, you know, you still celebrate Christmas, which is the birth of Jesus. Jesus, yeah. Oh, good on you. Same with Easter. The long weekend, whether you believe you died and rose again or not. Yeah, but you're not turning down a long. weekend. I don't believe in them. The Brontist's going to work on a Monday?

Nah. No one's doing that. No one's doing that. Okay. Well, that'll do us. We've got to go strap ourselves into a lie detector. Who's going first, by the way? Oh, not me, because she's half done. She wants to go in there looking pretty, doesn't she? It's either you two, so who's going to do it. If Babes' scissors rock, three, two, one. Oh.

Dan, you're going in. He lost a little first. He just held up with this. What I went to do Babysers Rock and you threw our scissors straight away. So I was naturally holding a foot. She said three to one. I know, but then you mean scissors all in like zero. Oh, I'm happy to go first. Yeah, good.

You sound like you're pissed about it. I am a little bit. Overe thinkers. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
