Good to have you. Oh, the host. We're your hosts. It's very formal. Oh, what would you call us? Just go, welcome to the Only Fans. I mean, the Overthinkers podcast. I don't know what the Only Fans is.

Yeah, the Overthinkers podcast. But then if people were tuning in when they'd be like, who are these three? You just go where Clint me and Dan Okay Because you're referring to us as the host It makes me think like I'm hosting a dinner party or something Oh well The cassava chips are over there

If you want to Get a little bit of a That's the last time Dan's host dinner party Then he thinks it's fancy to have cassava chips Yeah Casava chips are over there If you wanted the matinis

They're over there If you wanted an old island Ice tea What would you be putting out Dan if you're in charge of snacks And drinks For a party And let's say you actually had your friends over

Does a good scroll. Yeah, I do. I do a cheesy scroll, ham scroll. I don't think you can go past it. You're going to poo-poo me. You're going to go, it's childish. A chario. I genuinely think a lovely cheerio.

No, no, no, no. We're coming over for like, let's say, a mid-to-late afternoon party that's going through into the evening. A fucking chario. No, I think Cheerios. That's what I'd be saying. Are you, mate, when I open the door.

Cheerios. See you, buddy. I'm leaving. I'll go clip. We've got all the heaps. We're going to play Twister later. Are there a bag of twisters? Twisties.

Oh, twisties. Yeah, we've got Twisties, but we're saving them for when we play Twister Me. What other bags have you got? Other bags. Salt and vinegar? Yeah, I'd go, Clint, don't worry, there's some bags in the cupboard later. I love it. And he'll say it, they'll pull out a bag of salt vinegar chips.

I'll be there. I'll be stoned. That's my favourite flavour. Yeah, yeah. And we go, Cheerio. Actually, funny you say that, Clint. I now think about it. You know how you've said to me recently.

Every time you get out of the shower, you think of me. Yeah, yeah, because Meg dries herself backwards. She starts from the legs and then goes up to the head. It's because I flick my hair over the bath and my hair so key wet. You're drawing your chuff and your fanny before your mouth. Yeah. Yeah. So she's doing all of her undercarriage and then rubbing it on her face.

It actually has since changed because of that conversation. Now I am in the shower. I kind of dry my shoulders and stuff. Then I flip my hair over and then I do my legs and up to my waist. What about the hair on your head? Well, no, it just hang, and then I, and then I wrap the towel around the hair on my head. Right. Because if you did it first, and I guess the towel would be soaking, it wouldn't.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, there are two things, sorry, Meg to interject that I always think of you. No. Drawing myself, and when I'm emptying the cutlery drawer from the dishwasher. And I don't know why, but we did, like, the lame Olympics or something, and we tried to see who could empty the cutlery drawer. It wasn't even close. Meg smoked me, and I thought that was my thing.

And now, every time I'm putting the, like, forks and spoons and knives. I'm doing as quick as I can. I'm like, I am fucking slow at that. Really? I think of you whenever I'm in the chip aisle. Jesus, get a room, you too. Bloody how? I think of you when I'm making love to my husband.

That'll be the next thing. I think of you, Dan, whenever I have a mate who's just come out. Why do you keep doing these gay jokes? I think of you when I go past a tip and I smell fucking shit. Oh, good one, man. Oh, there's Clint. Sticky little fucking wanker. You introduced me to the best salt and vinegar.

chip and you were very specific about it. You're the copper kettle or kettle, no, the kettle company. Yeah, no, not the copper kettle. Not the other one because you were very specific about that. And they look similar. But it's the kettle company are the most vinegary sodden vinegar-vite juice. You start to feel

sometimes if you eat a whole bag, the skin starts coming off the roof of your mouth. So thank you for that. Snaky Changi are a great runner-up for me. But they're like, I saw in the only six bucks a bag and I was like, fuck, are they that? Sometimes they'll have them on special, but at full prize,

not on special. They're like $5.56 I was like, get out of you, man. Wow, he really came in the guy who, what's his name? Lee Hart. Lehar. And he just, he's just taking over the chip game, isn't he? Yeah, you would think, like, don't take on the chip companies. There were so many.

Is that what you think, do you? Yeah. If I was going to take on something, I wouldn't take on the chip companies. Not the chip company. I've never forgot the interview we had with him. Because he had Waka Changi, which is the beer. And then went with Snackichangie, which obviously the Waukechangi beer, I don't think, ever took off. I don't even see it anymore. He might have just stopped it all together, but he was trying to do a beer and chip combo.

And he said he went to the chip place and he said, they go, what kind of chip do you want? He goes, well, what do you do? Well, we do like kettle fry. We do a crinkle cut. We do thick cut. And then he just goes, can we just do all of them? He just shows all the options in one chip.

And they were like, I was never been done. Yeah. They're like, you're a pioneer. It was a thick crinkle cut kettle chip. And I was like so, like, clever. And obviously you think the market saturated. It was not clever, though. That's the whole thing.

It's so clever. it's not clever. Speaking on just again, the failure having to be accompanied with success, the fact that Waka Changi failed and he could have just stopped there and then was like, no, I'm going to do Snacka Changi and do the chips.

I saw a teacher teaching his kids' motivation, and he was talking about who is the person that has missed more penalties in soccer slash football in the world? Throw out a name, you probably get it right. Cristiano Ronaldo. Yes, Christiano Ronaldo. You sound like you're having a stroke

as you said. But anyway. He is like crazy famous worth a lot of money. He's missed more penalties than any other football player in the world. Guess who has scored the most penalties? Cristiano. It's because he tries so much. And it was like you can't.

And he had a few different examples. But his point was you cannot have success without failure. You have to be willing to experience both. That is a really good fact, actually. I need to teach my kid about that because she is a theory as I've built into it until like I have to like be the best or it has to be perfect or competitive. is like in herself and I keep being like no it's the journey as long

as we try I'm proud of how hard you try not of how good your work is. It's like I can't show a radio show how many radio show how much this radio show won at the radio awards? None. How many have we entered? All of them every time. Yeah, fucking after that doesn't

actually work. We're the biggest tryhards that you know. But we haven't got anything to show for it. No, that is true actually. Very quickly eliminated in a country yesterday with Sweden. I didn't stand on podcast. We had 17. Now it's Chile. Chile. How many? I bought one.

Oh, one. Was there only one person in Chile? That's interesting. We've got multiple people in Kazakhstan. But Chile, which is actually quite a developed country, is one person. One person. Yeah, and Sweden was out too, which I was a bit sad about because Sven, he can't win anymore. The screenshots from people that sent in feedback about the show, was that in the Overthinkers feedback Instagram page?

Because that was actually really super lovely, by the way, if you're someone that send those in. Meg screenshot them and sent them to us boys. Should we do some mail? Yeah. You got mail. This mail is from Kayla. Hey, just wanted to say how much I love you guys. I listen every single day.

And I've done for years. Even my nine-year-old daughter feels like she knows you guys. Clint 100% has a spark back ever since you came back, Meg. Oh, did you lose your spark or something? Oh, apparently. Well, it's because I think about it every time we're in the trip aisle and, you know, and the podcast. You two have really got a spark together.

And the podcast has a spark together. And the podcast has us laughing more than ever. I absolutely love the friendship and chemistry between you all. It truly is something special to look at and to look up to. You all make everybody genuinely feel better. And even though Dan will try and downplay it, I'm sure he and you guys know how special your friendship is. You don't downplay it, Dan.

Go on. Oh, it's all fake, but it's good to know. It's good to know that we are playing a great role. Thank you for being so great in getting us through our boring week. It truly baffles me that anybody has anything negative to say. And then the fingers-up emoji to those people. Who's these negative people that are people talking shit about us? Oh, you can't.

Who's talking shit? You can never please anyone. Name one person that pleases everyone. No, but I don't want to know who these people are. Who's been talking shit? Oh, Miss Rachel's pretty lovely. But no, she is haters. Does she?

She's the one who does all the kids stuff on YouTube, right? I'm trying to think of somebody. I would have to be a man, Simon Barnett. It would have to be a man that everybody is like, we all love him. Here's the thing with Simon Barnet. He seems lovely on the surface, but I reckon that guy's got some, He's skeletons in his closet. I reckon there's some dark shit.

He must, because he's too perfect. He's too nice. I reckon there's something in there. It's the same with Jason Gunn. You know Jason Gunn? We met him at the airport in Christch's last time with that. God, he was lovely. He was lovely.

He goes, as he leads to go, changed my opinion on that, man. No, I've always thought he was lovely. Always thought he was lovely. But I was like, there must be something. No, he just... Same with... There's a few New Zealand celebrity. I would say.

No, but the thing is, is the experience. Oh yeah, nobody hates Susie Cato. There's that one. I go, there's something wrong with her. She's like a, if you're from Chile, a childhood TV presenter that everyone grew up with. She's been in the game for like 30 years. So she spans generations in terms of life.

Same with Jason Garnie. He's been around for me. Robert Irwin. There you go. There's somebody that everybody likes. There'll be some guys. No, there's a guy. Everyone started trying to hate him.

And I don't know a lot of guys tried to hate him. Then they did these skits where they actually ended up liking them by the end of the video. I know someone that doesn't like him and I'm not going to say because they would hate for me to say. It's so controversial.

But they don't like him. Right. So we'll move on from that. He can't guess me. Thanks. He only talks to one other person other than us too.

It's not like he has any other friends. Hey Chris, if you're listening. Oh yeah, and Badi. Yeah, Betty. Oh yeah, Betty hates everyone though. I'm always surprised at him. He's not one.

He doesn't even like me and I'm one of his best mates. Is he going to court for anything at the moment? Well, don't talk about this clinic. I'll get in trouble. If he finds out that I've been talking about his court cases behind his bed. He takes anyone to court.

It's because you tried to take Dan to court one time, actually. Behind the scenes, Dan's best friend, out of two best friends, tried to sue him and tried to get information. As a joke. It was a joke suing. Tried to get information on me because Dan one time on the podcast said, what did you say about him? He's a limsy little twat or something like that.

Well, baddie. You got more evidence to your case? Yeah. No, that was allegedly. I've since learned allegedly. If you just say allegedly after anything, they can't get you. And what, they was going to take Dan to court for defamation? Yes, for defamation, yeah.

Yeah, because he also got paid out when Alton John canceled his gigs. Allegedly. Yeah, yeah. And then he took him to court and they allegedly settled out of court. Allegedly, yes. And he allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. That covers me for a little bit more. Yeah.

But he is still a limsy little twat. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah. That's enough about my friends. Today on the Overtinkers podcast. We're overthinking.

You get a choice. Do you want the memory trade, the skill swap, the door, or like three shorter ones? All the door sounds fun. Is it one of those ones where it's like you have to choose a door? Yeah. Otherwise, skill swap sounds fun as well. Okay, let's go to the door. Because we can do skill swap another day.

Yeah, true, true. Okay, one time in your life, you may always. open one of two doors that appear in front of you. So if you can just imagine, you're just normal day at home, Clint, you're at home, would abruptly, you've just come back from the gym. Your arms are aching, but your legs are fine, obviously. He's about to finish off a bag. Yeah, yeah, yeah, about to finish off a bag.

Yeah, salt vinegar chips, of course. No one else is home, ping, up in your lounge, two doors puff up. Dan, you're listening to Hannah Montana on vinyl, ping, two doors pop up in front of you. Oh my God, it's happened. Everyone knows this will happen once in your life. And you're like, today's my day, it's my moment. Now, each door has something behind it. You can choose not to open either door.

I can see what's behind both. No, you can. In my reality, they're like glass sliders. This is my reality. Right, okay. My scenario. They're both red. Selfish. Red, wooden doors.

I know Clint likes sliding doors. Okay, behind one of the doors, $10 million. I want that one. Okay. Behind the other door is the exact time and day of your death that you can't change, no matter what you do, once you find it out, you will know it. Do you open either door?

Of course. Well, you've got a 50-50 shot of getting the door you want and then 50-50 shot of getting the news of when you die. I don't want to know. I want to know. If I could choose now, if I find out when I die, isn't that really powerful? No, I don't want that.

I do. I'd like say for instance, yeah, I know. You will. Of course you will. Even if it's years away. But I think I would want to know if it's soon. Because that's why you're going to get diagnosed with cancer. or whatever, don't you?

You don't go, oh, I've got a lump on my shoulder. I'm going to just plead ignorance and pretend it's not there. I want to go and go, the doctor goes, actually you've only got three months to live. Now I live my life. It might work for you or wouldn't work for me. I'd fix it. Even if it said 85, I'd go, I don't make it at 87, I don't make it to 90. And I'd be, and then I'll work out the ages of my kids and I'd cry about that, like of how old they'll be.

No. I want to know. So you're fine. You'll win-win. Yeah, win-win. Happy days. Godges. I'd risk it.

even though I don't want to know when I die, it's worth the risk of the $10 million. And I could wear the fact of now I know when I die. That'll also change the way I live my life. And maybe it's a good kick up the ass. If they go, you've got eight years left, I'd be like, fuck, eight years. But then all of a sudden, I think how I live my life would change.

And people go, well, then why don't you just start living that life now? It's like, because I guess you'd start living maybe a more selfish life going, I've got eight years, there's places I want to go, things I want to see. Spend your money. So I go with my kids, whereas if I'm going to live to 80, I'm not going to rip my kids out of school at 10 to try and have that time with them

because there are more factors at play when you feel like you're going to live to 80 versus feeling like you're going to live for five more years. Completely agree with you. I don't know if I would, but then I feel stupid for saying that because it's $10 million in a 50-50 chance. Wait, so if I find out when I died, do I get the 10-mill as well?

I mean, you could look at the chance as well. I think the chances of living to your late 70s, early 80s, in New Zealand, a very developed country is quite high. I wouldn't live much older than that Old than 80 I want to be a hobbly old woman at 97 Absolutely Oh fuck no I want to die

Like maybe if you're healthy But not many people were healthy and fit at 97 Do you know what I wouldn't do If I can adapt your question me And I'm a throw it back to you So as you get to play Same scenario with the two doors And the $10 million

But instead of finding out the date that you die The other door is finding out How you die But not when So did just say car accident? No, I wouldn't know. That's worse for me. So worse.

Because then I'd be dreading that event. If it's like natural causes, happy, happy days. If it was really missing, it was like eaten by an an condo, you go, what the fuck? How does that happen? Bungy jumping, and you go,

all right, well, that's an easy fix? Like, sure, you just don't bungee jump. But that's it. It's almost that you've just rewritten a modernised version of Sleeping Beauty because she was cursed to prick her finger at 16. They're like, okay, we'll just get rid of all the spindles. It still happened to her.

You can't escape. You can't escape it. Even if you were just near a bridge that does bungee jumping. You got hit by somebody else bungee jumping on you. They fell, you know, so we don't know. Can I give you another scenario? Okay. $10 million is behind one door.

Right. You open the other door. It's your parents fucking. Yeah, I open the door. I've seen that. Absolutely. Oh. Yeah, exactly.

And you have to join in. No. Why do you change it every time? I'm changing the rules because you're all. They're disgusting. They're disgusting. All right, we're done. You're on it.

He always does. All right, see you later. The 10 million's inside your mother. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Rover, Music, Radio, Podcasts.
