The Edge Breakfast - OVERTHINKERS under eye disasters

Episode Date: July 1, 2026

Meg tried a new online makeup hack this morning and completely stained her face a lovely shade of red-purple. We are spiraling, feeling exhausted, and questioning the genius of a side hustle that involves hiring a mysterious woman to ball her eyes out at your funeral. You are not ready for the absolute chaos we uncovered from our old internet comments  

This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. What a start. I'm sorry. Clint and Meg, Dan, away sick today. And Meg, looking like she is stoked to be doing this. What, do you know, like, I tried a new makeup thing that I saw online this morning.

And it has majorly backfired. And then because of that, it's made me feel more tired than I am. How does makeup make your time? Well, I think I wear makeup in the mornings because I've had people in the industry say like, you don't have to wear makeup just because you're a woman, blah, blah. I choose to because I think it looks better on video for me.

Look, and to me. You're all good if that's how. Yeah, sometimes it is. Like, if I, like, it's four in the morning I'm getting up and so I'm like, if I pull on a full face and I shower every morning and do my hair and stuff, then it makes me feel like I'm more professional

and awake and prepared for the day. That's just what works for me. So if I look like shit, I feel like shit. Right. It's not normal. Yeah. Yeah, maybe I have to work on that.

And you saying that you think that you should wear makeup. Doesn't mean you think everyone should wear makeup. You know, people will go, so what you're saying is, no, no, no, what I'm saying is just what I said. What I'm saying is I'm not saying the other things that you're catching feels on. I'm saying that I perform better when I'm wearing makeup because it makes me feel like, it's like when we people started working from home. And they were like, wow, because of COVID.

and they're like, I can just wear my pajamas and doing my work. But then they said of wearing their work clothes because they realized they need to get in the mindset of going to work because they didn't want to do work when they were in their pajamas. And there's no distinction between being at home and the pajamas and starting. That's how it works for me anyway. But I try to trend, which sounds really stupid, but I saw people who have been putting like kind of blush on their under eyes

because of color correction. So my under eyes are really blue, purple. They have really dark under eyes due to like a sleep. and people do colour correction so on the other side of the wheel of blue was like orange I think or something around that colour so you meant to put like orange underneath your eyes

but I didn't have orange Oh God I had... Far out, it's getting worse I did have orange I had like a red purple and I just thought it would be the same so I put it on and I stained my under eyes

with red purple and then concealed it which sounds really weird but it's meant to like correct it but I did the wrong colour so now they look darker So you've actually done The opposite. I've made myself look more tired by staining.

It was a liquid stain. How tired do you reckon? Yeah. If we are to overthink, post Malone got before he ended up getting always tired tattooed under his eyes. He would be laughing about that now because now he's a dad. That's what I wonder. I'm like, does he look back now and go, man, I thought I was tired then?

I've been way more tired since. Yeah. And how, I don't know, like, how more tired have you been? than him and still not got always tired tattooed under your eyes. Yeah, let me see. Does he... It's such a commitment, man. Like, he must have been putting together some album

and just felt like he was always up trying to finish it. Post Malone does not appear to regret his always tired face tattoo. He said that it was a fitting representation of his relentless work in touring schedule at the time. And he noted that he got it simply because he was feeling exhausted. Yeah, but he couldn't have got it... I don't know. I'm always tired.

He could have just got a phone case with it written on. Yeah. It's fair. But it is, yeah, it's so interesting. I think, I don't know. It's so funny. And I don't want to go too much into parenting. We got a message the other day that all we talk about is parenting and Lego.

Which was so bizarre. Just fair for that like 10 minutes? We talked about those two things in 10 minutes. But we don't talk about them all the time. But I think I'm going to find that a hard thing to do. if my girls, when they get to a sudden age, want to tattoo their face, and it's like, that's their body, it is their choice.

Like, it is absolutely there. They are, you know, I have no ownership over what they do when they get to a certain age. And I think that is going to be hard for all of us to be like, yep, go and get always tired, tattooed under your eyes. I think he's got a bit of a strange relationship from his family, A, because they all wanted something when congratulations came out and he took off.

And I remember him, even in the song, Congratulations, he sort of talked about all the people that he used to know that have, come out of the woodwork, be like, hey, bro, how's it going? So it sounded like he had a lot of clinger honours after the success. They must suck. They must suck, and it must suck to, like, not know who you can and can't trust. Right?

Yeah, and then it's like, now they always say congratulations. Oh, I've never listened to lyrics. Yeah, weird, because I don't normally either, but I did in that one. I'd love to see Postis here in October. Mm-hmm. Yeah, Mount Smart Stadium where the Warriors play, so I'm not sure if you'll just do the one show or two shows, but I think Adele did a couple, or three? Three, eight years.

He turned at a couple, yeah, post-y, yeah, he might get one. He's kind of, oh-oh. Boy, he hasn't done very much recently. He's moving to that country scene, so I feel like he's expanded his fan base, but he's going to play a, half of the show. Half of a show is going to appeal to one half of the audience, and then the other half will appeal to the other. There'll be a little crossover in the Venn diagram of country hip-hip.

I don't know how much, how many women could get away with doing that sort of crossover. Charlie XX recently tried to do like a rock song. What about Beyonce? She did a whole country album. She did too. Yeah, true. So she's done pop and country.

Poping country go together, but rock and country, not normally. Maybe it's different. Yeah, rock hip-hop and then into that. Yeah, she's trying to do everything. I mean, good. Why not? There's no rules. There was a business venture that we're talking about briefly on the air today.

Meg Thor was a real thing and we were like, oh my God, let's get her on if she's being paid to do this. Turns out it was more of a hypothetical idea that I honestly God think somebody needs to do. Maybe you listening could if you're like, what's my side hustle? I'm a hot, mysterious woman. I think those are the two things you need to be.

Hot and somewhat mysterious looking. And free... An actress, probably an actress. In the weekends a little more. It's probably more weekend work. Yeah, the idea is called the Dark Secret and it's somebody you can hire to turn up to your funeral.

She will wear a black dress with sunglasses, an umbrella, and she'll look distraught or upset at the funeral, but stay away from the rest of the punters. They stay a distance away, and if anybody were to come over, she'd get back in her black limousine and leave. And it's kind of a prank from either beyond the grave

for the person they organised it, knowing they were going to pass, or from friends and family to watch other friends and family members go, oh, God, he's got a bit of spunk about him. Who's that? Yeah, who's the hot chick all dressed in black, bawling her eyes out under the black umbrella? Yeah, I think also a secret service-looking guys would work.

because you'd sit there and go, did they have a secret life? Did they work for the government? We will never know. They're trying to pay their respects. I think the business is like dark secret. Yeah. Right? Yeah.

And then when you click onto the website, there's a bunch of different actors that you can employ. I reckon say Dan dies. And then we just get like three flamboyantly gay guys to all show up so upset that Dan's died. And I think we pay extra. Kind of weird prank would you do to it. He's dead.

And then you pay extra. I'm sure, when they open the floor to anyone who wants to say anything. And Brad goes up with his two mates. And he sort of talks about how much they're going to miss Dan and the fun that they all had together. But he doesn't go into specifics. Bad friends. Because they're kids in the room. And the whole time you're like, who are these three gay guys and how does Dan know them?

I think it's very specifically, like, specifically, I don't think it would be good to do on you because then it's just like going to sit there and poor Jamie's like just lost their husband and then going, was he cheating on me? What's going on? It's good for, single. guys who are always maybe thought to have been single, or maybe somebody who's 18, 19, and, you know, maybe never had a girlfriend and then suddenly the guys will see that there's this girl crying for him. You know, okay, he's never had a girlfriend, really, long term.

Yeah, yeah, people know about it. And then we hire a 35-year-old woman with a pram and a baby and a four-year-old. And they all, like, he's got a secret family, no one knew about. Wouldn't it be funny if you were somebody who, you knew you were going to pass the way? like I'm going to hire this, I'm going to do it. And then everybody still, even though you've passed

and you've got this woman mourning, you was super hot, they go, must have been like a maid or something. You must have been. Even then, you're like, no, can nobody just give me the credit that I could have been with her? I could have done that. I could have been with the 10. It's so great.

I think it's a great idea if anyone's looking for a bit of a side hustle. Yeah, thanks for start. And you're hot and mysterious and you can cry on cue, although they have things you can put in your eyes, I'm sure to get you going. And you can make, 500,000 bucks on a Saturday morning before midday. 500,000 bucks.

500 or a thousand. She's half a million dollars. She's got to be a 20 out of 10. Well, you've got to pay for the limo, I guess, at some point. But yeah, it is, I love the idea. Would it actually work? Would it just piss people up? I think it would be cool if you did it.

You could have a bit of fun. Where's the last time you're in a limo? Never. Never been in a limo. No, that's not true. Didn't when we go to Macklemore? I didn't go with you to Macklemore. What? We were a show. Me, you and Dom.

Yeah, I must have been away. Maybe I was pregnant or something. Who knows? But you guys won those sticks and I never got one. I wasn't there for that. Yeah, but we went to Christchurch and we like picked people up. I can't remember why I was in a limo and stuff. We picked everybody up.

And then we were playing ninjas in Paris by Kanye West and Jay-Z. And then everyone was censoring themselves, obviously, for the naughty words, because we weren't allowed. And then there was like an islander guy in the taxi. And he goes, it's all good. You guys, I give you permission to say it. Was I there if I bladed out? I don't think Salmonds can give white guys permissions to say those words. MacLamore, I don't think, I mean, was it at the same time that you guys got the sticks?

Because I wasn't there for that. No. Was I there? If I was, I have blacked that out. I've honestly put, I have no recollection of being in a limo with you in Christchurch from MacLamore. Did we watch it? Did we maybe go thrift shopping and we bought a whole lot of like thrift stuff and whatever? And then got in the, in the, oh my gosh.

Limousine. And I'm sure, and we all went to Maclemore and Cross Church. Really? Really? I'm trying to see if there's a video on the internet. Yeah, I'm trying to Google it and see, okay, blah, blah, blah. Did he have a song Limousine or something? I can't remember.

I'm not sure why we would have got a limo. It feels very school ball. 2018 interview, McLemore and Ryan Lewis. Yeah. He was just like the guy, right? And he hasn't been the guy for eight years. I have met him. Okay, eight years ago.

Eight years ago. I chat with him. So I've met him. I have no recollection. And that would have probably been about, right? We're a relatively new, I think, is a trio. Oh, and the comment was that interview was boring. What, someone's commented on it? Yeah. That interview was awesome, but I think Maclemore was tired.

Oh, God, I hate getting interviews with these celebrities where you're trying to do them a favour, push their concert and their album, and then they can't be bothered showing up. Randall, get a haircut, bloody awful. What was everyone mean back then? What the hell? What was my hair guy? Looks like Meg's got a finger up her ass.

What the fuck is happening? Why are there's a hoist? That was the internet eight years ago. People just savage. I mean, they still are now, but maybe less so because you can just hide and block. Looks like Meg's got her finger up some ass. Your eyes or someone else is? Someone else is.

What do you talk? What the fuck? I don't remember any of this. That scares me that the internet still keeps all that shit, eh? I know. I'm talking about something from eight years ago. and oh yeah I did need a haircut that's fair maybe you did have a finger over your ass

Maybe I did but back finger up so these I'm back on the first one right Maybe I don't know why I would but hey I don't remember any of it I think Think Dan's gonna be back tomorrow I don't know

I was thinking he might be And then I was thinking he might Friday so maybe not Yeah every caller wins GTOS 6 on Friday So if you are in New Zealand listening to this and you're not normally a live listener, you're a podcaster, but if you're a gamer,

or someone in your life would be obsessed with getting GTA 6 before it's released, then, yeah, 6am to 10am, you get on the air. Actually, tell producer Carl, here's a nice little thing. Tell producer Carl that you're a overthinker's podcaster. And who knows, he might do your solid, he might do your favour and sneak you into the on-air queue, give you a little peripheral treatment. Are you likely to do that, Carl?

Yeah, I think it's a good. said they were over things. Some of the other tips I gave earlier was like I'm a big fan of a Pepper Jack Chiraz and a tailor's two, uh, 20204 Merlot. Those are my favorite wines. So I mean, however you get through. That's your thing. What is special treatment? But I'm looking for the word peripheral. Your peripheral vision. So it's like, it's like, it's like from here. Yeah, but I can see this hand. Yeah, but so it's not peripheral treatment because that's your peripheral vision. You're thinking preferential. Preferential. Preferential treatment.

Preferential treatment. Yeah. Absolutely cocked that. I hate when I do that stuff. I hate looking like an idiot. I got you, bro. I don't mind being mocked and tees and stuff, and that's all fun, but I hate legitimately, like, looking like an idiot and people going, oh, he's a bit dumb. You should do another job then. Yeah, that's true.

That's true, because once you do something dumb here, it's really hard to undo it when you're life. I mean, there's a podcast that could undo it. Man, you're our people. You don't care. You know how dumb we are. You've been listening long enough to know that already. We're not fooling anybody.

I kind of know what you mean. I really hate it when people think I'm dumb. Probably people would be laughing there because I'll be like, but you are dumb. I'm like, well, I don't think I am in some. Sure, I'm bad at maths. Sure, I fuck up some words. But I don't think I'm stupid. You can't be smart at everything.

Even the smartest people are only smart in their field. They're not smart at everything. Fish, let's second. It's just fish climatry. No, they don't. They don't, Meg. No, well. context it before we go out?

You can't judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree or it's been its whole life feeling stupid. That's good. I'm glad I just shortened it. Yeah, yeah. Fish of climate trees. I definitely don't think you should ever shorten it. Catch you guys.

I see you guys. Oversinkers. Rover. Music, radio, podcasts.
