This is the Overtinkers podcast. Oh, not going to lie, feeling a little rinsed before starting the podcast. Yeah. Couldn't be in down with you. It's been a long morning. We've been talking to Jack Tane. Have we? Well, that's a embargo to a Monday.

We're not saying why we spoke to him, but I tell you what, you're going to want to tune in Monday. We also spoke to the fire chief, didn't we, about the fire engines? Yeah. Signed the petition. We also recorded a whole load of announcer reads for D-D. Yeah. Pretty exciting stuff if you're in Wellington and Cross Church. Yeah, you're getting some stuff coming your way. Yeah, you can get free rides every Wednesday and Saturday.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. But today on the podcast, I've got some... It's been the Darwin Awards. Oh, the stupidity, like death stupidity awards, isn't it? Yeah, and there's been a list released of some of the most... I guess you would say they're stupid deaths. Oh, this was going to make my heart hurt,

because I just think that it's everybody... Is that somebody's kid? Yeah, and it's also... I can't... I think 2026 we're still laughing at the ways that people die. Well, no, it's not necessarily laughable. I don't think we'll be sitting here cackling. It's going to be just like, how did that happen?

Oh, it can be more like a shock and awe. And it's if anything educational to watch yourself around these situations. There is some that you go, oh God, they deserved it. Some of the things, you're like, oh God, they were asking for that. Definitely. Well, there was. Like some of the people that broke the law, you know, like they've done something bad and then they died. Yeah, but I don't think you deserve to...

People can do very bad things and still live the rest of their lives. Okay. Okay. Where you go? Oh, we're getting straight into it now. We're not doing like a mail bag or anything. Meg stopped doing her jar with the root pulling out all the stuff. We haven't done that in weeks.

No man. Just when we're getting to the peak, like the climax of the point of the game gave up. If you live in Mexico and listen to this podcast, you are out of the competition to win the merch pack that doesn't exist yet, but we'll want somebody wins. Don't we have some of those retro-clip, McGintan danties? left them somewhere yeah countries are limited Mexico you're out

okay Mexico Mexico I don't think you roll the the Darwin Awards they've happened again this year oh Dan doesn't have them ready

that's why he asked me to get other shit I do it I do have it okay you don't have it okay you're ready because I can pivot no I've got

the 10 most dumbest ways people have died okay this year this is over all times so some of the best ones why are you bringing up that it's the share.

Well, because some of the ones that were this year are not as good. Not as good deaths. The stupidest death examples. So, this was the elevator trap. A man... I'm gonna hate this. Angered that the elevator door

closed before he get into. Rammed a motorized chair. Oh, he was in a wheelchair. Do you know what? Let's do something else. Is that... Daniel Morty is me telling me. Why is that matter?

I've got fucking brilliant shit for the overthinkers. He was teasing it on the radio show. He was so excited. But he was so angry that he couldn't get into the thing that he started slamming angrily his wheelchair into the side of the elevator and the door's open but the elevator wasn't there and he fell straight through the shaft.

That's somebody's baby. What about this one? Oh. The phone rescue attempts. Multiple stories involve people dying while trying to retrieve phones from a subway track. Hmm.

So they've dropped their phone into the subway, you know? I think you'll leave it. Especially if you're in Asia. Some of those trains were like 500 kilometres an hour. I remember I was in London, and there was multiple phones just on the tracks because people had dropped them and they're going, I can't go in and get them.

Also, aren't they all electric and stuff? So once your phone hits it, I feel like it would fry it. Yeah. If it lands in the right spot, I suppose. There was three recorded deaths during the Ice Bucket Challenge thing, because people tipped too much cold water over themselves. I think as well, I saw someone where

everyone was trying to reinvent the way that they did it, and I saw someone who had a whole lot of ice water in a bucket attached to a... digger, like a digger's bucket, you know, and those things can weigh like half a ton, like 500 kilos, depending on the size of the digger. And then as they went to angle the bucket for the water to fall on them, they've pushed the wrong lever. And instead of tilting the bucket, they've dropped it. And it's gone down and hit them in the head. So that's probably how people died doing it. This one takes the cake, though. A group of people reportedly found a landmine in a field

that was their leftover from World War II. And they brought it to their table and began taking turns, stepping on it, resulting in exploding. Taking turns. Like a game of sort of like... Were there deaths or men? I don't think sexuality or sex comes into it, me. I don't think we need to... More than likely.

What do you think, Clint? Do you think a bunch of women would have picked up a landmine and then all take the jobs? Jumped on it? No, I put my house. Oh, that's interesting, because I've read into it and said the woman that died was egged on by her husband. So she did it. Yeah, but it sounds like it was the husband's idea. I don't know, I don't know for sure.

Apparently, the largest percentage of deaths in the Darwin Awards are due to improper tool use as well, where people have been using a power tool or whatever and it's gone off wrongly. Sometimes it's ignoring safety warnings, a large percentage of that as well. Taking the safety guards off things. Yes, or just there's a sign that says don't walk on this cliff and people walk on the cliff and they fall to their death. Men account for an 89% of the Darwin Award winners. Geez, I thought it'd be higher. Yeah.

That's true. Yeah, nine out of ten. Do you want more or is that it? No, I mean... Are you saving the best to last? No, there's plenty more. I could go on all day. All day?

Yeah. We don't have that long. Okay. Do you want me to pivot or do you want to give us your best? The dinosaur statue. There was a man in Spain who got trapped inside a decorative dinosaur statue while trying to retrieve his phone again, dropped his phone into the statue. No one knew he was there and he starved to death.

That's awful. What is it? So sad. What? Can he shout out? Hmm. Huh? Wouldn't you shout out?

Where was the dinosaur statue? That's all I know. I wasn't in a museum, obviously. A man in Spain, so it must have been in a museum in Spain. Maybe it was like a... It's a horrible way to die. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Today on the Overthinkers podcast. We're overthinking. We're overthinking how your wealth can or does it at all improve. your chances with the opposite sex. Of course. If you're a man and you have more money, just look at the wives and what they look like. There was a discussion that was happening here

with the afternoon show because I was still here and they were coming in and getting ready to do their show. And they were talking about a list of CEOs that was put out there, New Zealand CEOs, and how much money they make. And I weren't name names, but there was one CEO

that was earning like $17 million a year. And one of the single girls was like still wouldn't. And then Ashland and a few others like, are you crazy? You wouldn't even 17 million a year? Like surely there are some pros that come with dating someone of that kind of wealth. And the girls are arguing and debating whether they would or wouldn't and whether it makes them horror or not. And I wondered, I was like, okay, say Meg, you have a guy who's a three out of ten.

Then you find out here is a million dollars a year. Does it change his three out of ten score to a three and a half? a four? Is he a nice person? That's like, you know, if he's a three. Okay, so it's a really nice person though. He's nice, he's just, but he's... And he's funny? Yeah, but he's fucking ugly though.

Like, really... Well, three. He's a three out of ten. Three's ugly. It's really hard for me to like comprehend because I can't, I keep thinking the personality makes up for his, you know, okay, I'm gonna do the face what he looks like. Okay, this is what he looks like. Because I just, I just don't think the money...

Okay, do something. The money doesn't do anything for me to... No, not for me. Okay, well, I've got fucking... My mum one time... I got $100 billion. When are you going to do the face? My mum one time dated somebody who was very rich and had a very successful company.

And it just... I don't know. It just doesn't... They don't want me. Okay, so... But it depends if they're nice. I'm lovely. I'm a lovely guy.

Dan is a 3 out of 10. He owns a million dollars a year and he's interested in you. He doesn't move from a 3. It stays or it goes to 3 and a half because he's a million. He earns a million bucks a year. No, it doesn't change from me. I know. You will believe that it just doesn't matter to me.

So then I wonder, okay, now you find out Dan earns $2 million a year. No, none of the money, no! Okay, so Dan earns 10 million a year, it doesn't move him from a three to a four ever. His personality and stuff do, but I don't think him being richer makes him more attractive to me. No. I'm good at Conalingis. That would move you up, yes. But the money.

I'll try to see that first. But then you know, there's a lifestyle that if he's a lifestyle that if he's a. in love with you and he marries you. There's a lifestyle that you guys now enjoy together with the wealth. Well, if we're in love because I like him as a person but I don't think the wealth matters to me. I'm in the room, man. I just

don't care that much. I wondered, it must get to a point. I thought it would be like okay, you're in a million a year, you go from a three to a four. Now if you're in a two, two million, you go to a five. But then after the end it starts getting harder. You have to be exponentially earning like 10 million to get to a six and then a

seven. But there would be a cap. I don't you can get to a 10 out of 10 just because you have a billion dollars. You just need to look at the world. But yeah, but you do need to just look at the world to know that other people do it. I mean, look at Hugh Hefner. Like if he was poor, there's no way he would have hot girls with them. But he was, I think he's attractive.

I can think of off the top of my head now. Three absolute fucking mingers that are wealthy. Yeah. And I would go, nothing would make me sleep with them. But take away their money. Yeah. But here's the thing as well. But even money.

No, but wealth can improve. how you look. You look at Christiana Ronaldo, Google him with money and without money, because he got his teeth fuchs, got his hair, duh, and he's looking all swath, and I think your fashion can change which can very much change your appearance. I think money can definitely make you

more attractive. Well, duh, look at all the women. Yeah, for sure. Look at the Kardashians. So then don't you think you could take on this guy who's a three out of ten? He's got ten million dollars. You go, I can use your wealth and I can bring you up to a six. No, it just doesn't comprehend to me. It's the wrong person to talk about. I'm the wrong person you

need somebody else with us. You don't have to work anymore though. I like my job. I like working. Yeah, but you like hanging out with your kids more. Oh, definitely. Yeah, I see why money helps, but it does not make a person more attractive to me. But then that are providers, isn't that attractive that they can provide? No, because my husband doesn't provide.

He provides by looking after my kids, and I find him attractive. I'm the wrong person. Does he find you more attractive because you provide for him, though? Shall we ask? Oh, this is true. He would never admit to it, even if he did. Because I've not always been a sugar mama. You know, like, so I don't I don't think it would work for him.

But you guys can ask him what you are out of ten? And then if you're into a million a year, how much? Go on. So, mate. Hey, do you find Meg more attractive? Hey, I'm sorry. Start again. The Bluetooth and the car fucked up.

What do you need? Okay. Do you find Meg more attractive because she is a provider for your family? Financially? Yes. See? Oh, what are you talking about? Because then you're like, there's admiration and what you do?

and the sacrifices you make to provide for the family. So what if I didn't have any money? What if I didn't have any money? Or I didn't provide for you? I'm not saying that is the only thing that makes you attractive. It's just it's a hot feature. It's like you're looking after us. Okay. You're a boss bitch.

What then guy if Meg then came into some more money tomorrow and she said I've also so got a million. I've now just got $5 million. Would you find it? Would she go up again? I don't think. used to win lotto, I don't think that is a... Okay, but what if I earned it? What if they said, I said,

hey, I've been giving a job or some other opportunity they said... Someone's puncture. Yeah, something has happened and it's something I've earned for five million. Yes or no, would it make me more attractive? Out of ten? No. No, no, no. I think... Now, now I'm going to your side, because I see what you're saying, Clint,

that if guy then came home and said I've got a sponsorship for five mil, maybe he would. He's on it. Like, you're just like, damn, you get it, I'm kind of seeing what you're saying it fucking kills me. I think you've made me see this side of my brain.

We're arguing, Guy, about whether or not money can take somebody who might be a three out of ten and make them visibly more attractive based on the wealth and the success that they have financially. Oh, yeah, like if Dan, for example, had ten million dollars,

he'd be like a five. Because he would go out. Yeah, but the thing is, I don't think so. And guy, you know what? I'm not taking advice from a short little fella like you. I will say this, though.

I know you think that the short thing affects me, but it really doesn't, Dad. You've got to try and bark up another trade. Okay, well, it's a short one if I'm barking up yours. I will say this. I will say this. I will say this. I just, I can think of women now that I, that are really ugly.

And I'm not going to name it. Don't look at me when you. Don't why are you pointing to me? He's literally pointing to me. Now, I will see it on the video. Being a friend here, I was not pointing to her. You did like a, you did an outward hand. I was not pointing at you.

I swear. I just think you are very, like, an attractive woman. I do. Whoa, in front of her husband. Yeah. Wow. That was more of a power play. Anyway, I just don't think that I would do it for anything.

No, I'm not saying you date someone because they have money. I'm just saying if someone's a six and they're earning a hundred grand a year and then they end up earning a million dollars a year, does that take them potentially to a seven? because they, you find them more attractive because they're greater what they do and someone's willing to pay them a shitload of money for their talent and their ability. But then I'm just working for the money. It's nothing to do with their attractiveness then.

You're putting points on their attractive scale when really you're just... Sorry, I'm I done? You're done, yeah, let you go, bye-bye. But you know what I mean? Like it adds nothing to, unless they've used that money for a makeover. Then you can correlate it to it.

Okay, so the CEO is earning 17 million a year. the girls, they didn't give him a rating but let's say they all gave him one. If he lost all the money, he's still the same number. Yes, because he's still, unless he's got uglier from because when he was rich, he was putting like creatine on his face or whatever. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. And that's the thing, because I, let's look at Kendall Jenner, for example. She is a very different looking woman than she would be without her money. And then in that case, it's different. And I would go then, yes, maybe it has added to it. Money has made her personally more attractive.

The question, though, is whether her having money makes her more attractive to other people. Yeah, and if you took all her money away, you'd have to take away all the work that was also done, I guess. I think wealth, I mean, you can be, like, say, my old man who wasn't earning huge money as a concrete contractor, but was very skillful and worked as arsoff. So I'm not saying you have to be earning lots of money to be good at what you do, right? That's obviously not what I'm saying. But when someone has been paid that kind of money, like millions of dollars a year, you are in some sort of elite level the very few people will ever operate at

and I think there's an attractive quality in that Can I count, I think what you're trying to say and what me and Dan are like not getting is that you keep saying like big amounts of money And to me I'm like oh that's because he made a decision move or because his dad gave him a leg up and stuff But if you're talking more like on the ground Somebody has worked really hard to bring home money

I think that makes them attractive Because they are a hard working person Still not attractive Are you still getting confused with attractiveness and like wealth? No, but this is the same meggs is this guy's a three. But if he's a nice person and he's funny, they might take him to a four or five. So if you earn a lot of money,

then you are arguably successful and greater what you do. And I think that also increases your number because you've got drive, because you've got drive, you've got passion, you're good at what you do, and those are traits that I think make you more attractive. Okay, so your number is taking into account attractiveness, but it's not all everything. I'm not saying it's like if you just have $15 million in the bank and you won it in lotto and you're sitting there,

then maybe your money doesn't attribute to your number being higher because you didn't earn it, you just got given it. Whereas if you've earned and you've built some sort of an empire, I think that shows a lot about the person you aren't efficient. So if you went, so you don't think your wife, if you started earning 10 times the money you're doing now for doing radio, say you go to Australia and they do pay you 10 times a lot. Went hard towards something that you're like, I've done this,

and I'm in the background, hustled, hustled, and you've created something and it got sold, like a TV show. Hit the Spot TV show. She... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think she would be finding you more attractive for getting that money for family? No, she'd go... No, she'd just be like, oh, thanks, that's great, that's good money,

but I don't find you more attractive. Put it this way. Susan Boyle's rich, isn't she? But I'm not letting her sit on my face. Are the thinkers.
