Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. This is the Overthinkers podcast. Hi a lot and welcome your host, Clint Meg and Dan. Oh, we've never changed all the imaging and everything all behind us. Look it there. New logos, new logos. Looks incredible. I designed this in a way, not really, kind of.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Yeah, along with what? Chat. Yeah. Oh, well, it was more a collaborative effort, I think, in the end of trying to kind of make what we want. but I did choose little mini Clint's outfit, which was Camo Jorts and some boots, which I think it's so you. You've nailed Clint's outfit.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Meg, you've got your boots on there. Hopefully. My shoes are on backwards, though. Have you guys noticed? It looks like I'm wearing my shoes on the wrong feet. They're like both pointing outwards. Yeah, yeah, and be curved. Wherever you get your podcast,
Starting point is 00:00:48 you'll be able to hopefully see the little tile. If that is updated, it'll be changed, and you'll be able to see what we're talking about. Thanks for all the feedback on the podcast fam as well over the weekend. A lot of feedback. There's a lot of people. Yeah, I think we should too because it's, um, I've,
Starting point is 00:01:03 God, I probably owe an apology. I was a little snappy on the, on the old Facebook. Well, not snappy, but a little cold. I, um, I literally just put my cat down. Like, just, she had just died in my arms. And then, uh, we, she drove away. No, obviously, um, the person took her away. I'm, I'm not crying because I'm not processing what I'm saying right now,
Starting point is 00:01:24 but it's been a real, this music is not happening. It's been a real hell of a weekend. It's been literally hell. Anybody that knows when you have an animal in your life for 10 years. Oh, God, yes. It has been awful. So I was sobbing. I opened up my phone to kind of have a bit of distraction.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And it was just messages on messages or comments and comments on saying how this new podcast is sucking or how people aren't enjoying it. And it just, oh my God, it was so hard to be like, man, we're suck. That too. That's something that we've been working on behind the scenes with our bosses. input of what we should be doing and they said it wasn't working before so now we're changing it and now you guys are saying it isn't working. It's tough stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Do you know what I think it is? I think the people that loved what we were doing loved it and always listened. The argument for the people above are like, yeah, everyone that listens to it loves it but it's not growing so you need to change it. The problem is you change it too much if you aren't picking up new people
Starting point is 00:02:21 and you're only losing the old well we're going backwards. I really did enjoy the looseness and... I think everybody did. Yeah, the looseness of the pod and what it was. Maybe we'll find ourselves landing in some sort of like middle ground. But I actually do, I disagree with you a little bit there, Clint, because I do think
Starting point is 00:02:40 that we all enjoy, who doesn't enjoy just shooting the shit, you know? But I actually think, if you listen to this current podcast, it's not much different. There is a few little sweepers in there that give it a little bit of structure, but we're not editing it at all. We're not doing anything that I would say is we're not dumbing it down. We're not doing any of that. We still ended up talking about Dan milking himself in the apocalypse like last week. So I don't think...
Starting point is 00:03:05 Maybe they didn't get to the end. They started listening to the beginning and swiped off. Yeah, I know you don't like the questions, but the questions were just to kind of get to a point of where we just started talking shit because, you know, where we had something to talk about. And it is a moving beast. This is not going to be what we'll finally end up with, I'd imagine. There'll be some adaptation.
Starting point is 00:03:23 There will. I think the thing for me is. that because we obviously have the show podcast and the show is very much prepped and you've got about four minutes if we're going to pull back the radio curtain all the way you've got about four minutes to set up talk about what you wanted to talk about
Starting point is 00:03:35 have a laugh and get out. And so if the podcast ends up becoming that then you start going well how is it different to the show? Yes. Like we set something up we chat about four minutes we move on and also if it's great content then does I go on the radio show
Starting point is 00:03:48 or does I go in the overthinkers podcast? I mean we're overthinking ironically all of this Oh yeah absolutely. Also the name change, if you haven't caught up on why it went from OnlyFans to Overtinkers, is because when we first named it OnlyFans, OnlyFans was a real up-and-coming website, which, you know, we kind of, it was a cheeky sort of touch of the fact that people were starting to use OnlyFans for sexy nudes and stuff. But now it's full-blown, like that is what OnlyFans is for.
Starting point is 00:04:13 It is for paying for people's self-porn or any sort of porn. And so we are getting, what's the word, like, stopped by the platforms because our names are OnlyFans. that it's like blocking us from growing, shadow banning us. Yeah. So we had to change the name. And from that... Because it thinks it's our rated content and it's... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And I think the thing that we want to open this, the new form of the podcast up to, is you guys being more part of it as well. Because I feel like it was previously, just us talking a lot of the time. Maybe we'd dedicate the old podcast to a listener. But we welcome anybody that wants to give us an idea, anything that you want us to talk about on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:53 It's your podcast. just as much as it is ours. So get in touch, the podcast fam. I know the Instagram page as well that you've opened Meg. Yes. Have you signed into that year or is it just me and Clint? No, I'm on there. And as much collaboration as you can.
Starting point is 00:05:06 That's all I ask. Yeah, overthinking is feedback on Instagram if you do want to weigh in. It's just a nice easy way for you to reach out to us. You don't have to publicly put anything up. Like Graham has said, Meg, where's your bell gone? Graham, I'm so fucking pleased you asked about this because I think everyone I hated my bell but me and maybe you, it seems.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Somebody's fucking taking it. Is that it, Dad? No, that's the broken one I think. Because you remember there was two. There's two in there. There was one really good one and there was one that sounded like shit. Yeah, that one's broken.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Somebody's taken it and broken it. I've got this one. It's not the same. I love my bell. I love being my, like, ding it off when I found something funny. That was my favourite thing. Let's get me and you back.
Starting point is 00:05:45 That's all she asks for. She doesn't get much. Kind of like, yeah, when you're waiting at reception. Bing. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I want to hit it. Want to hit it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:53 My sister is a worse singer than Meg, Violet has said. Imagine a sing-off between Violet and Meg. It could be fun. Oh, Violet. More worse than me? I'd be very surprised. Meg, you'd probably be surprised as well if we could find anyone on power or worse. No, that doesn't surprise me.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Doesn't surprise you. Not at all, Dan. I don't think I'm that bad. I've said this many times. I don't know. I think I've actually improved quite a lot. Which is saying something, really, isn't it, at the end of the day? I think if you had lessons,
Starting point is 00:06:21 you could be quite good. Like my wife, Hannah. You've told me that you don't believe anybody can improve with singing. I don't think you'd be world class, but there'll be a point where you could at least hold a tune. Well, Tatum, I think, was a singing teacher, Tatum Phillips, and reached out. And she eventually came back because she heard us talking about her,
Starting point is 00:06:38 obviously on the podcast, said, oh my God, I just listened to today's pod. I'm not looking for money or anything. I just wanted you to know that you definitely have potential meek. Dan is so mean to you when it comes to your singing. I know. I have most definitely heard worse. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Really? Yeah, Dan is... That's amazing to me, though, that if let's say someone is worse than you, Megan, arguably, you know, you have self-confessed, said you're not the best singer. Someone is worse than you has then gone, I want to do it so bad
Starting point is 00:07:04 that I'm going to pay someone to teach me how to sing better. Whereas if I was that shit at anything, I just be like, it's obviously just not in the stars for me. I'm going to put my effort into something else that I have potential in. That shows us being so different because I just like doing things because it brings me joy,
Starting point is 00:07:17 not because I want to be good at it. No, but then you wouldn't go get a teacher. That's what I'm saying. I'm not going to pay somebody to teach me how to do something so that I can go from shit to kind of bad, rather than me paying someone that can take me from something I'm good at to then something I can be great at. Do you know what I mean? There's only a small margin of growth I would imagine based on paying someone to teach you. So why would you want to go from shit to... Because then I could at least hold a tune without my friends making fun of me. No, but that's your thing. That's like, that's why it's great. It's not my thing.
Starting point is 00:07:46 No, but it's like... What you fucking mean it's my thing? It's my thing. The content that we get from your lack of singing on the show, I think has been so much... Do you know what people don't want? Her thing is singing, she can't do it. Let's say, I don't want to be disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:08:00 But, you know, Ricky Lee and Tim, they're an Aussie duo. Ricky Lee is an incredible singer and sang long before she was doing breakfast radio. I would think you'd have to limit that trick. Because if she's singing all the time on the air, everyone goes, like, fuck, we know you can sing, okay. And all of a sudden people don't want to hear it. But if you can't sing, there's so much more... content in that.
Starting point is 00:08:22 It's endearing, it's endearing. You're like, you're welcome. I should say. You're welcome. You're so welcome. Yeah. Fuck. No. Being in the minority or being, I don't know, different is more interesting than just being the same as everyone else or being
Starting point is 00:08:36 excellent. There's an award in the New Zealand radio industry called the Blackie Award and it's named after a guy called Kevin Black. And I think if Meg went away, learned how to sing and then came back one day Clint and just blew us away with a number. incredible vocal performance and we would flawed that would win the top radio award in New Zealand. Do you know what I reckon
Starting point is 00:08:56 would win it if this whole time Meg could sing. She didn't necessarily go away and learn how she could sing and she pranked us for eight years pretending that she couldn't and we'd be like when's the day when you decide to show your powers? I wish I did that
Starting point is 00:09:13 because that is my kind of prank those sorts of things. You're like Clark Kent when he's like running around pretending he can't save anyone. No he's Superman. And then when he finally, you know, the whole time you're like, just tell her, just tell her your Superman.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And we're like, Meg, just tell us he can really sing. Well, you'll just have to wait and see, boys. If I've done that prank. That's a long, that is a fucking long play. Maybe it's like the 10th anniversary. Three different radio shows.
Starting point is 00:09:38 She did the show with Dom, then Eli, then me. Like, there's a lot, that's a long play. Yeah, it's a, what's your end game? Oh, you have to wait and see. She just comes in and she's like, it would be incredible.
Starting point is 00:09:53 if you were like full opera. Do you know, if I came in and actually did that, and honestly was amazing, Dan would go, opera's a bit shit though, isn't it? There would be something, you would be like, bad song choice, right? You're not really transferable as a style. Yeah, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I go all the way with you. I really want you to be a good singer, but I'm an honest friend. I wish that you, I hope that you'd be as honest to me. I am, and you see me your shitty reels and I go if it's good or bad before you post it. And you quite often go, no. And you quite often put it up anyway
Starting point is 00:10:24 And I still do it And it gets no likes I go fuck, she'll listen to me Okay but is it better To put up something that gets no likes Very few Than just not put up anything That's me I haven't done anything in ages
Starting point is 00:10:37 I need to post more I went to post something yesterday And I was like no Not good enough Story only Yeah Deleted it Send it to me and I'll let you know honestly
Starting point is 00:10:45 And then she'll send it real shit When I go brilliant Meg Put that up Yeah Terrible friend Terrible mate What's the next video you're working on.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, I've got so many. Do you want me to list my ideas? Oh, can I be in one? I told you I wanted to be one in the news. Yeah, you can be in one. Of course, be in one. You want to piggyback off my success, Meg, you're more than welcome.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Here's my ideas. Personal ways gets frights. So it's just a montage for someone going, and turning around. I won't be in that one. Okay. Meg does get frightened easily, though. There's the crazy bed sale guy.
Starting point is 00:11:17 You know how you hear those, like, ads on the radio, and it's like, I've overordered on beds. I'm going to get in trouble with the It's that guy, but he's extra crazy. So he's like, I'm clinically insane. I won't be in that. 77% off all beds right now.
Starting point is 00:11:29 I've scrawled the prices on feces on the wall. And then it cuts. And then you don't think he has, but then right at the end, you've got sale and brown shit on the ranch side. I've voted my daughter because she over-ordered beds. It's a homicide investigation. I need all beds gone before I go to jail.
Starting point is 00:11:43 That sort of shit. Okay. I don't mind that, actually, if it's done right. And I'd love Hannah, although she doesn't like being in the video, your wife, to walk in there go, what's that smell? And you just see in the,
Starting point is 00:11:52 background, there's like sail smeared in brown. And you go, I don't know. I didn't have any brown crayons, so I had to work with what I had. What about this one? Getting sayings wrong. So this is inspired by Meg. But it's just a montage of a person going, oh, I kill two stones with one bird. I would say you've literally just stolen that from me.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Well, you inspired it. That's the one that Meg maybe could be in. If she's in it, it's real, you know, because she does that in real life. So it's almost like Meg has to be, you just mocking me. Meg has to be sitting there like almost like the opposite of that. being like, you're a loser, you're an idiot. Well, could you just like, at least just tag me in and say inspired by it?
Starting point is 00:12:26 Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. And then another one was just a POV of my phone while I'm scrolling in bed, so it's just me with a double chin, just scrolling like that, if your phone could see what you see. All right. Yeah, send that one to Meg.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I don't think I'll be on that way. No, I mean, for you to approve and say if it's good enough. Oh, right, okay. Yeah, so those are just a few ideas you can look forward to. I mean, you haven't necessarily, obviously brought that to life yet, and so that's the skill, right? People go, oh, there's nothing in that, and then you go, well, hold, There's also another one I want to do it.
Starting point is 00:12:53 It's like the POV of the last Pringle in the can. Oh, I've done that one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you've done that one. You would do good at that, actually. Thank you. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:13:04 Just so you'd be, you'd do good. You're a good actress. All you see is my hand. Not because she's good at finishing a can of Pringles. I just think she'd do a good face. She'd do it like, I can imagine her face. What, double chin face? Yeah, but she would do that.
Starting point is 00:13:18 That's what she'd do. Why would she do a good double chin face? I'd be doing the double chin as well if I had it. because you want to have it, so you're sort of looking down, you're looking into the Pringle can, the last one, because it's very... You know what you should do? You should know why you'd think I'd be good at this. I've seen someone do this before.
Starting point is 00:13:31 It was very funny. Where he's taking a piss, and there's kind of like a shot where it's shooting up at his face, and he goes, all right, are we all done? And then it cuts back, and it's like his knob, and so he's got like a bull catabon. He's like the penis. And he goes, yeah, no, we're all good. Finished here?
Starting point is 00:13:48 And he goes, are you sure? He goes, because remember last time? And he goes back to him. He goes, no, bro, honestly, we're sweet ass. And he goes, I'm going to put you away now, but we're definitely good. He goes, we're good. He goes, fine. And he tucks him back in the pants.
Starting point is 00:13:59 He goes, a lot of the time, when your pants are a bit high and tight, it's almost like it's kinking the hose and the water won't come out. And then when you undo the kink, away it goes. Right. And as he goes, and spits all this water all over his pants. I did it the other day. Literally at work, weed all over the front of my pants. And I have to, like, walk backwards to the studio so people to exceed.
Starting point is 00:14:21 But not filming, not for, fun? No, not for fun. Why would I do that for fun? Why would that be for fun? I thought you meant you did that, like you created the video. No, God, no, this is just legit in real life. You just pissed yourself. I can't copy that guy's content. That would blatantly be copying his thing. Everyone copies everyone online.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Right. It is kind of true that everyone copies everyone. I don't understand why somebody's like, oh wow, would you get this idea from? Because I'm like, well, where the fuck did you get the idea? That's literally what trends are. That's what TikTok trends are. I think there's a fine line between doing a trend and then just copying a funny skit video. Does something become a trend if someone doesn't copy something first? I copied one recently.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Like I copied a video, like sort of adapted it. It's disgusting. Why do you just steal your content from other people? No, I did one where I... Shameful. And the guy called me out on it. He came on, he's like, oh, interesting where you get your content from. And then people like piled on being like, yeah, he's stolen your content, your idea, man.
Starting point is 00:15:13 And then did you then follow everything he posted and try and find someone else that's posted the same thing? It makes me want to copy him again. Genuinely. I'm like, I want to just keep copy it. his name, let's find a video he's doing. Oh, God, this is going to take me forever to find now. Oh, whatever, you know his story. You've absolutely done screenshots.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Just got to your screenshots folder, mate. You'll find it. Where is it? Where is it? There would mean a comment that you sent. This one. I think it's the highest form of flattery. If someone, like, thought something you did was hilarious and original, and re-did it, good for them.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Yeah. And they may get more followers because sometimes the algorithm is hard to understand. Oh, wow. Where do you find your ideas? What's his name? Oh, he's blocked me. Oh so you can't Hey, well then I can go and find this content for you
Starting point is 00:15:57 It says come up It comes up null Oh my God Does it because it was a name before See look Oh his name says null Oh no very sorry Very British problems official
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh very pretty Yeah So it's not blocked you Well no His original thing says null But then someone else has commented So you're saying I prefer your version
Starting point is 00:16:18 Fuck you can't Yeah Oh, that wasn't for the radio, there was his inner thoughts coming out into the microphone then. Yeah, he blocks me. Because when I look, when I click on very British problems. Now how are you going to come off new ideas? I don't know. Pusses me off, now I can't see his stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Oh, well. Oh my God, he started a fucking video about you. No, he hasn't. Yes, he has. Shut up. Pass off, yeah. When people copy your content. No.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Meg just turned her camera out. And then she just gave him, flipped him the bird. Because Dan always says it. Oh, did you want some creetting? Hold on, I got some on my bag. And then you always know he's just coming up from behind the desk, flipping you the bird. But then people have quite done copies of my stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:59 And I find it flattering. I'm like, oh, that's lovely that you copied. I don't care. He obviously is a little bit... He is very funny, though. I didn't realize he's the guy that does theory British problems because he tweets a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:10 And I post his tweets. I prefer him on Twitter. Yeah. He's not as funny on Instagram. I would agree with you, Dan, he's very funner on Twitter. Funny funny. It's like one of those guys. I've got a friend like that,
Starting point is 00:17:19 who is very funny on text. Yeah, right. Not very funny in real life. And I think it's because, no, not you, Neeps. Neeps is like, oh. Oh, I'm not funny anytime. That's all good. No, it's like, he obviously needs a minute to, like, think about it
Starting point is 00:17:35 and come up with a witty line and then hit your back and see you go, he's hilarious. And a lot of people must find this when dating, if they're changing someone on Hinge or Twitter or whatever, sorry, Tinder. But in real life, it's like his brain isn't fast enough to hit you with the Zingers. Oh, he's fine. I find him funny.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Otherwise, I wouldn't have copied him, would I? Yeah, but I mean, in real life, he might not be funny. He might just be funny when he's got time to sit down and chat GBT his shit. The thing is, so I didn't copy it. Like, I copied the idea. It was of a guy sitting in a meeting, like getting nervous for when he's getting spoken to. But I changed every line, changed the scenario, changed everything. He still thought I was copying.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Can I also say, though, that the reason that was funny is because it's incredibly relatable, which means people experience it, so it's not an original idea. The reason it's funny is because it's a human experience. That we can all relate to... So shut the fuck up, that guy. Who are you talking to me or him? No, him. Sorry, thanks me.
Starting point is 00:18:30 But you can shut the fuck up too down. Sorry, Clinton. Why don't you both? Actually, you copy him and both shut the fuck. I'll shut the fuck up. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, but thank you very much for listening to the podcast. We appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:18:41 You know, even if you are sort of pushing through with us, we will get there. Yeah, we don't really know what we're doing because we do have, you know, the boss in the one ear, you guys and the other. We don't know what to do. We'll get in trouble for this one because we didn't do our new things. Can we finish the podcast with our favourite part from the radio show? That doesn't need to be a regular benchmark thing, but I do wonder how many people listen to this pod
Starting point is 00:19:01 that might not get through the whole radio show. And if you have heard it, then your podcast just ends for you here. Are you going to play Sven? Yeah. Yeah, do you want me to play Sven? Everybody's favourite Swedish reporter. Not mine. Who's your favourite Swedish reporter then?
Starting point is 00:19:15 It's my favourite because Dan's not even in it. Yeah. So if you are listening to this in real time, I hate this guy. Sorry, March 16th, Monday. Then the Oscars are on at 1130 this morning. They may have started already by the time you get this. Disney Plus.
Starting point is 00:19:32 But Sven gave us the scoop. Go Shalameh. Good morning, Sven. Good morning, guys. Thank you so much for having me. Coming to your live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for the 98th annual Oscar Awards. I am very early here this morning.
Starting point is 00:19:51 There's no celebrities here. There's nothing going on. I've seen more people at a Norwegian bar mitzvah, if I'm honest. But the red carpet is due to open very, very soon in a matter of minutes, filled with lots of fashion and excitement. Wow, your accent's really fluttering in an outspin. You must have been in America or a wee while. Only ask the sanction questions, please, JJ.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Sure. Sorry about that. So what are the big awards tonight, spend, do you know? That's a good question, Dom. The big award tonight is for the best actor in a... leading role. Timothy Shalemay is going up against ex-basketball star Michael Jordan. What a star he is in Sweden. His balls have grace more hoops than my gay Uncle Ivan. I think it might be Michael B. Jordan. And leave female and so, you know, Sven, why are we still hiring you? You're genuinely
Starting point is 00:20:40 a terrible reporter if you're just wanting to report on the male lead. You're entitled to your own opinion, JJ. I will say this though. They say this in Sweden. I don't know if they say that in New Zealand, but if you're good at something, don't do it for free. And that's why I'm doing this for free. And it's a good thing, though, because my flights all around the world are paid for by the New Zealand taxpayer, which is great news. And it's another great decision that your beautiful Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has done. From all accounts, I hear he is a very popular man. Oh, I can see someone is pulling up right now. There's a car pulling up. It'd be great to get a scoop from someone's...
Starting point is 00:21:21 About anything. Oh, look, and I tell you what, who just got out. Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Should I go up and say hello? I don't think they're together anymore. I also think he's banned from the Oscars. Jada, Jada, I loved you in G.I.J. It was a great movie.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I love you, wife, Jada. Oh, my goodness me. I'm bleeding. The wound is starting to smell like almonds. Which is not good. No, it's not good. That was a very aggressive way to react to me. I just liked your wife and G.I.J.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Come on, man. Oh, he's knocked me out. Okay. Well, he's very aggressive. Aye, aye, aye. Oh. A few more. A few more.
Starting point is 00:22:09 I'm sure I've just been managed to get away by now. Oh. Oh. E. Okay. Back to you in the studio. We'll see someone to check on your back. Please don't.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Rover, music, radio, podcasts.
