The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS reading ages

Episode Date: June 23, 2026

We are completely spiralling this episode after going head-to-head over our actual reading ages, and it turns out Dan is basically operating with the brain of a 14-year-old boy. He blames his childhood ADHD, but we think he just needs to go back to school. You are not ready for how quickly this studio debate turns into absolute chaos, so come see if you can read better than us!

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Kiyoda, welcome, Kulmi Ganda and your hosts. The hosts with the most. What they say? Hostess with the most desks is usually what they say. What were you just doing, Meg? It was texting my husband, I love you.

Why? Where are you? Oh, lovely. Go read it. Give him a call and tell him it yourself. I think he's having a hard time. Give him a call. I said, I'm sorry you're struggling this morning.

I wish I could help. I love you. And he said, love you too. Oh, that's nice. You send your neck pint? No. That's not always about sex. That's what I mean.

It's good. He's actually saying, I love you, not to try to get sex. I think you'll find, Clint, that you have sex much more than the mansils do in their household. Oh, how dare you? Me gets pounded a lot, actually. How do you think I broke my tail by? Okay, let's have a guess, Clint. When was the last time the mansions were intermittent in their?

a house. Meg would have been to pound town I reckon probably on Sunday. I reckon it's been a month. Yeah.

Oh! I broke her townbone. She's broken her tailbone. That's not a way. That'll teach you though if you're going to hit it from behind that hard. Oh,

Clancy. Honestly. You know what? Yeah. I think I'm similar. I think it's been about two and a half weeks three weeks for me.

Oh, thanks for that. It's not quite a month but thank you. No, it's not quite as bad as you are. That's shocking. No, but you've got an excuse. I don't know.

I haven't broken in my penis. You know, so Have you ever Snap the banjo string? No, I haven't But I've heard it's horrific Producer Brady is Oh, has they?

Does it bleed? A lot I've heard From where though? Yeah, I thought I told you guys Just like a while ago About it Because often when you break the banjo string Your penis is in

Action mode So there's blood pulsing through it To keep it in that mode And so where does the blood Come out of the spot Just the spot where it breaks And so the blood Oh wait so it rips the skin

Yeah. Yeah, so it's like a little tear like on the bit that joins and then the blood just pisses out of there. Oh, my God, this is how little I know about men's anatomy. I thought you broke it and it was like a bone on the inside

and then like pissed out the top. No, no, no, no, no bone, but I mean like whatever it is. Do you know? How come girls aren't ridiculed for not knowing our penises but we get ridiculed for not knowing all the names that their bits have?

Well, I think because it's easier to work a penis than it is to work a vagina. That's your words. I don't know. Fuck me, is it? Fuck me, Dan. I speak like I've tried to work both.

I haven't. Really? No, I seriously haven't. But I can imagine, I mean, all you need to do with a penis is just a bit of an action, isn't it? A bit of a... Dan, video. Oh, fuck.

And Dan did hand and mouth stuff. For anyone who's not watching the video. Okay. I'm putting my foot down here. That is not being put up on social media. Yeah. No, you're not clipping it. I will honestly be very angry if someone does that.

What? I'm happy to leave it in the podcast, but if it gets chopped up and put up on social media, I'm not having it. You're putting my foot down. You'll be very angry. 9.56. Dan makes handjob and blow job motion.

That's just going in the alcohol. I will end whoever puts that up. What is that man? I'll end him. I'll get a payout. How the fuck would you end me? Oh, you haven't got the skill to put up a video. My husband does, and he's got the time.

And he's that petty. Okay, well, if I will, just, I'm going to stop talking about it, because the more I talk about it, the more you're going to do it. It's not happening. I'll go to HR. If that's how you're treating an end, I'm keen. I'll imagine it. I've already taken the screenhole of it, Dan, and it's going up on Facebook right now.

Honestly, you've been in this job for two months, and you can be fucking out of it quickly. Okay, that's all I'm going to say. I will fuck, I've got powers around here. Hey, so, Brady, when it breaks, do they have to, like, stitch it back together? Do you just leave it and it joins itself back where it's supposed to? Or does this never work the same?

Thanks for moving things on, Clint? No, because I was going to go to the dockers about it, so I was a little bit concerned, but then I just talked to our chat GPT. I was like, oh, what's like the, what's like a advice for this? And you kind of just like have to let it heal. Like, don't, don't wank, obviously. Because you'll, like, tear it again if you do that.

Honestly, we've got here, how long were we in four minutes in? Four minutes are you going to take the old high and mighty road. He's the one that just gesture doing a BJ. Yeah, like, as a gesture, it didn't have to be in the podcast. It's so funny. He's like, Clint, you're disgusting. You're always like the sex guy. Everything has to be sex to you.

And then next one he's like pretending to just go to pounddown. You told us that you found it very easy to work a penis. That's where you were. I never see that. I said that both is equally hard. And then you worked it with your hand and your mouth. And I'm that guy. I've always struggled with it.

Despicable. He's despicable. Honestly, I wouldn't have got there. It's like dangling a piece of meat in front of a dog. I'm going to bite, aren't I? And the fact is that you dangled the meat. So if he didn't dangle the meat, I wouldn't have bit. Simple.

Well, Meg's not doing about banjo strings, and then I just went, oh, Brady, he's got a story. Anyway, so let's move on. Let's go to something clean. Meg's got something clean. I absolutely do. Okay, good. The mailbox.

The mailbox is always clean, and it's always full. Thank you so much for messaging us. We love it when you give us. Overthinker's feedback on to... Oh, here we go. quickly before you get into the listener ones Meg, I got a message from my mother this morning on the show. In fact, she messaged me twice over the last 24 hours about the show, but the second one I haven't talked about is she said, please don't keep saying you're ugly, Daniel. Fair.

You are frigging handsome. Fair. Friggin, she used. You didn't want to say fucking. Fair. I just don't understand why you keep saying that. Also, you are extremely handsome. Also, mean to your mum because half of your genetics are hers.

Yeah, that's hurtful to me. And you look just like your mum. I do look like my mother. If my daughter said that she was ugly, I'd be like, excuse me? It'd feel like an insult to me and my wife. It's mostly you because she looks literally exactly like you. I don't think she does.

I reckon she looks quite a lot like Jamie. What? Like blonde version of Jamie. Whoa, there is Clint's face on a girl. And the entire looks like Jamie. Hmm. Yeah, that's one thing as a dad. I've tried to work really hard and I think I've gone too far

with making sure that my kids really like have high levels of confidence, they believe in themselves and they, but my daughter, there's no worries now about her ever thinking that she is not good enough or not pretty. In fact, I worry that I might have to rein her back in a little bit at age 10. No, no, no. It's a good age to have her

that high cling because it will naturally come down between 13 and 15. It's the worst time for girls. Like, you're going through puberty, she'll probably naturally put in a little bit of fat, which is completely normal and means you're healthy because your body produces it to start, you know, having periods and stuff. And I think that's when girls start really starting being conscious. So it's good that she's like this now because she's going to be, you know, really prepared.

Yeah, because I guess you get knocked back a bit when you start hitting those ages. Right, Melanie, text us and sent or messages saying, guess the fart is such a catchy tune. I took the dog out for a walk yesterday and I sang it out loud with my headphones on. And I did the enthusiastic, ugh. And then I realized my neighbour was behind me. I live in Australia, so no context. Brilliant.

Yeah, well, we do that on a Friday, don't we, on this podcast? We can't there's a little fluff. Terry eyes. Gistapot was that smell. A stinky mystery for us to one bell. Oh. We stopped doing the uh, and a lot of people got angry. We're like, why have you guys stopped that?

We can't take credit for that. It's AI. Oh, it's brilliant. Producer Brock, I think, just put it through a computer. One of the greatest things he ever did for our show was that. Yeah, he did nothing there. You just put a thing into AI. But anyway...

Suzanne has also messaged. Hi, team. This is a message for Dan. Okay, hi, Suzanne. Good to speak to you. Today I was listening to the podcast. I'm not sure what day it is and I'm having trouble with my Android auto and my car.

Anyway, there was a first caller of the day. Name was Marina and she was a teacher. Great. Dan asks, so what do you teach? High school, primary. And then you stopped at primary. As a teacher who is a Bachelor of Education and Diploma of Teaching and Teachers Kindergarten,

I take a fence that you didn't ask early childhood. You and Meg currently have children. in early childhood centers, and Clint used to. I thought that. By the way, I wish you could take hook musical on tour living in the Waikato. I couldn't really get to it, but I'm sure it's going to be awesome. Meag, you're an amazing mother, thank you, and I hope your world gets better soon. Thank you.

Dan, do better. I can love you, Suzanne. Yeah, and you know what? You should be called Karen. Hey, leave her a load. Don't you talk about my Suzanne like that? No, you know what, Suzanne? I didn't realize that early childhood teachers were qualified teachers.

I didn't. I didn't, so that's, you know, that's ignorance on my side. We learn, the more we learn. What is that? I mean, and my son... Learn more, be better. My son goes to a crache, so it's different, isn't it? I don't think they are qualified.

What is it? It's like a community thing where it's like there's just like a volunteer, as a lot of the people that are there. Do you volunteer? Yeah. Well, he did the, um... Oh, he did the emcee, mine. I did, I did emcee there evening of fundraising, but my wife does this stuff because

it's, he goes in the morning, so I can't go because I work. work. Dan put the fun in fundraising, not the fund. I don't think he donated anything. No, we did. My wife bought one of the auctions. Oh, that's right. Some fucking useless salt and pepper shakers shaped like a hedgehog.

Anyway, so yeah, we do everything. We do a lot for the community. But I'm sorry to Barbara. What was her name? Oh, Suzanne. Now, I'm just going to quickly to say this. Somebody sent us a link and it says they've stolen your idea. Any guesses of what it could be?

Who stole the idea? It just says they've stolen your idea and there's a link. I'm now on the radio station. It'll probably be like I reckon it'll be my hit the spot or something. I reckon it'll be my that have stolen ones before.

We've seen a few. It's so much worse. Daniel, sit down. It's not hit the spot, don't worry. You did, sit down. Sit down again. Is it something that I've done? I am sitting down.

Inscreen rant.com Peter Pan returns in a new adult's only series that makes him the villain. What? Disney's Peter Pan remains one of the studio's most beloved animated classics. However, those warm feelings of nostalgia are about to take a dark turn as a new series launching this summer reimagines the iconic tale is a chilling modern-day horror story.

It is Neverland Nightmare, and it's where Peter Pan, an R-rated version, is the bad guy. Oh, I like the idea of this. I mean, to be fair, in my show, he's not necessarily the bad guy. I think that's left open to the viewer to make that decision themselves but he's definitely not painted as good as he is in the original Who's murdered?

So I think it's a TV show I don't know who is making it yet I can't read that but it says Land of Never reimagines the classic Peter Pan mythology however it could be more different because it delivers an adult only

reimagining that transforms the sprightly Peter Pan from Heroic into a cryptoid-like villain known as the Floating Man. So people can expect Land of Never to be a dark mystery centered on Jim Hoke, a disgrace former pathologist whose teenage daughter Wendy

vanished from her bedroom six months earlier and the prime suspect is the mysterious floating man. Wow. And so it doesn't sound like hook features. No, maybe not. So this Peter Pan's like... Oh, I think it's a book actually. How cool. So you can read that down. No, you can't read No, I can't read. I'm not a good reader.

I've got the reading age of a seven-year-old. When you were six, that was impressive. What's her name, Margaret, the message through, she could teach me how to read because she's an early childhood teacher. At what point does it become less impressive, if we're going to overthink that? You know how when you were like 10? And they'd go, Clinton has a reading age of 13, and you'd be like, wow, that's impressive. Clint's only 10.

That was my big thing at primary school when I used to find out that my reading age was higher than my actual age. If you had a reading age of 75, that's not impressive to me. Well, I don't think it works like that, Clint. I think it stops off at like 15, 16. I don't think they're going, you've got the reading age of a 30-year-old. What does that even fucking mean? I don't know.

So what is, is that the cutoff? Is that the most impressive reading age ever? And after that, it's not impressive. Well, I think once you reach, like, high school, you tap out at the top. I don't think anyone's going, oh, you've got a reading age of 47. You don't keep learning how to read throughout your life.

Sounds like I've had a sore spot with dad. Oh, I think, let's go. What is the top reading age? Google will be able to tell you. Is it 18 you leave school? Or is it more impressive to have a reading age of a 30 year old? Okay, I'm Googling it. What do you think, Meg?

I've got a really bad typing age, so it could take me a lot. It sounds the most impressive. Unless you're 35 and then you've got a reading age of 25. It feels worse. We should keep learning like that, but we feel like we stop after school and we go, right, I'm done now. I'm fucking done. That's the, that's the, what are you? Did you just do that with your tongue?

What the fuck? Dan, look what do you just give what you're talking? So the oldest reading age, it tops out at 16. I'm a better reader than a 16 year old. So it goes 16 plus, then that's it. Hmm. So if you're at like, I don't know, primary score at intermediate level and you've got a reading age of 16 plus, you're going well. And what is your 7?

I'd say I'd have the reading age genuinely, and this is not even joking. I think I've probably got the reading age of like a 14 year old. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm really trying to say, seriously. I'm really sorry. I swear. Okay, okay.

Say it again, say it again. Like if you give me a book, I would struggle to read it. Just say the age thing again. Okay. No, I'll be better. I think I've got the reading age, hand on out of it. Okay, Clint, we're going to be supportive one more time. I know what he's going to say.

like a drama. Okay. I've got the reading age of a 14 year old boy. Oh shit. I really tried one more time. Fuck one more time. Please last time I swear to God I'm going to take it. I don't think I'm a very good reader.

In fact, if I had to hazard a guess, I've got the reading age of a 14 year old boy. You know what, Dad? I think it's really cool that you've said that because I think it's going to support. And it's not funny because I don't want to laugh anybody that hasn't had the education that they deserve. And you know what?

It's sad because I think it's something to do with my learning difficulties as a kid. Absolutely, Dad. I think I had ADHD and it was undiagnosed then. It was undiagnosed. And I think, you know what? Yeah. And that's the reason why I could never be a newsreader. Yeah, Judge of Fish, climbing tree.

Similar that. I know what she means, but no one else does. Anyway, what do you reckon you have the fitness age of? Oh, I would have to go 75 for me. I'm already fucking down on the ground. No, I mean me? I truly met myself. What's your fitness age?

75 for me. I actually think I joke, but I'm actually not that bad. Like I went for a 7K run the other day. And he can run half a marathon with very little minimum training. Neither of us have done that. You can lock in an age? I'd say I've got probably the fitness age of a 44-year-old. No, no, 25.

That's older than you are. 25. Yeah, no, but I still think that I'm not as fit as I'd say. So you're 38th? Yes. So if you lined up a whole bunch of 38-year-olds, you wouldn't be on the fitter side than most. You can run a half marathon.

Maybe I am, but I haven't run a half marathon in a couple of years. Yeah, but you still can and you will this year. So I think you're a 20, 25 to 30. I think it puts you younger. If you think you are better than the average person that is aged the same as you, then that would make your... Okay, so I've got a reading age of a 14-year-old

and a fitness age of a 35. 35-year-old. Okay, 35-year-old. Clint, where would your fitness be? I'm still playing football with young guys in my team, Although a lot of the time I do wonder if I'm... You come back every time saying you feel broken. I don't, I know, and that's why I'm like, oh.

Fitness, early 30s. My body, I reckon is probably 40. Yeah. You can tell by the face. Your face. No, I mean, my fucking muscles and my joints and stuff. Oh, right. You've got back issues.

Nothing wrong on my face, mate. No. There's a few crows feet in there. I mean, Mickey, eh? His? Yeah. How do I think his forehead moves anymore? No, the forehead's fucking young.

They should be moving for another six to eight weeks. Your forehead's the same as my reading age. But I mean, the eyes and the lines around your eyes. I love his smile lines, though. Okay, I think we'll wrap this up because I get our boss looking at his watch through the producer's glass, and then we've got to go do some more rehearsals for another fucking... Two hours, three hours. This is the most time I've ever put into a talent show ever.

It's not a talent show, you keep saying that. Yeah, Clint, there's very little talent in the... the show, mate. You're good, done? What? Yeah, Carl's saying we're done. Time's up. Yeah, are you guys done?

We've got a whip for hook with the rest of the staff. We've got to get into rehearsals. Oh my God, is this now bleeding into everyone's work? Massively, yeah, like 10 minutes ago. See you, team. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
