FULL SHOW Sven is live from Eurovision...
May 1701:04:46Tap to summarizeClint, Meg and Dan kick off Monday chatting Auckland FC reaching the grand final, the Warriors’ big win, and a zoo visit where Clint’s son names Meg after an orangutan. They share entertainment “scandal” updates, take calls from April about appearing on Face the Music, and debate when it’s fair for a coach to give their own child player of the day. The “Take the Edge Off My Life” cash callout fails when Shane answers wrong, then Crystal wins. They read Dan’s diary entries, discuss late-in-life realizations and coincidences, cross to Sven at Eurovision, and run the Neutrogena Vault pin-guessing competition. 00:00 Morning Show Kickoff 01:58 Zoo Naming Roast 05:36 Pop Culture Scandal 06:54 First Call of the day 10:20 Naughty 6:40 Coaching 18:57 Shane Misses Call 20:58 Late Life Realizations 28:31 Eurovision With Sven 31:14 Eurovision Chaos Recap 32:30 Neutrogena Vault Challenge 35:20 Songs Ruined By Lyrics 41:01 Listener Song Pet Peeves 42:50 Take The Edge Off Win 46:19 Dan's Diary 49:29 News Radar Spies 53:33 Warriors Injury Scandal 58:59 Coincidence Callers 01:03:57 Wrap Up And Goodbye
Transcribe →OVERTHINKERS Dan tried to do pink shirt day...
May 1400:15:31Tap to summarizeWe tried to be wholesome for Pink Shirt Day, but it quickly devolved into Clint insulting Meg and Dan being compared to a 65-year-old movie villain. Throw in a stylist roasting Dan’s "naked piglet" shirt and a very awkward round of "Guess the Fart," and you’ve got a classic office spiral. You aren’t ready for this one. 00:00 – The "stupidest noise" stitch-up and the oily duck debate. 01:30 – Pink Shirt Day: Trying (and failing) to do a "nice" Pass the Mic. 03:15 – Dan’s "glow-up" or "illness recovery" look? 04:50 – The Holes comparison: Does Dan look like Jon Voight? 06:45 – Clint’s secret mustache hack: Using mascara to hide the grays. 08:20 – Meg’s "hard worker" reputation vs. her "whinging" reality. 10:10 – Stylist Georgette drops in to roast Dan’s "naked piglet" peach shirt. 12:30 – AI vs. Professional color analysis. 14:00 – The ultimate shame: "Guess the Fart" in front of a guest.

They run a Blues-themed “More or Less” game ahead of interviewing Blues players Patrick Tuipulotu and Dalton Papali’i, who later help choose a Take the Edge Off winner. Dr. Helena Teede explains the renaming of PCOS to PMOS and why it matters for diagnosis and care.

Transcribe →OVERTHINKERS the text that gets sex...
May 1300:16:00Tap to summarizeI’m genuinely worried about Clint. He’s trying to “science” his way into his wife’s pants with a mid-morning text, so we put it to the test live on air. Let’s just say Meg’s husband had a very… efficient response. You aren't ready for the "helicopter" analogy—it’s pure chaos. 00:00 – The merch competition update: Who’s left in the mixer? 01:15 – Portugal, Pele, and a very awkward racial blunder. 02:20 – "The Text That Gets Sex": Clint’s morning experiment. 04:30 – Meg texts her husband "Let’s pleasure each other tonight." 06:05 – The Helicopter Analogy: Dan and Clint get graphic. 08:50 – AI Dilemma: Would you opt-in to "Truth Link"? 10:45 – Dan uses his "filter" (and then immediately breaks it). 12:10 – The verdict on Meg's husband's response.

Dan shares an embarrassing park encounter while packing up his remote-control car, and the team surprises night-shift security guard Richie with a $500 Woolworths voucher via the Boost button. They discuss Meg’s on-air swearing slip during a segment about the Broadcasting Standards Authority, then open the phones for stories about horrible teachers. More listeners win money for bills and groceries, and the hosts react to a news story about a Pak’nSave Lotto worker being let go after 30 years with minimal notice.

Transcribe →OVERTHINKERS Handprints in the shower...
May 1200:19:06Tap to summarizeWe’re diving into absolute chaos today after Meg decides Clint needs a "sexy" emo makeover with a brown eyeliner pen. Honestly, he looks less like Johnny Depp and more like a pirate who’s had a very rough night at sea. But the real drama starts when we unpack the mystery of a certain handprint left on a steamy shower glass—Dan, we all saw the demonstration, and the glove definitely fits! You’re not ready for how fast this one goes off the rails. 00:00 – The "Hostess with the Mostess" and 5:30 AM face problems. 01:05 – Clint’s emo makeover: The eyeliner incident. 03:15 – Dan’s "Foundation" fears and the Peking Duk connection. 04:50 – Meg’s "Everything Shower" and those niche shower steamers. 05:40 – The Mystery of the Shower Handprint: Dan gets exposed. 08:00 – Headstone Quotes: Clint’s "arrogant" legacy. 10:15 – ChatGPT tries (and fails) to write Meg’s respectful eulogy. 12:30 – "Dan Wobby" and the iPad grave idea.

May 1201:11:27Tap to summarizeClint, Meg and Dan kick off early with chat about Kiwi F1 driver Liam Lawson, then debate whether strangers should touch a baby after an elderly woman squeezes Millie’s cheeks. They hear from John, a protectional personnel officer who has worked for Celine Dion, and share scandal stories including Rod Stewart calling Donald Trump a “rat bag.” The team plays “More or Less” one-hit-wonder streams, argues whether using Farmers cologne testers daily is naughty or smart, and tries to investigate Dunedin’s St Clair Beach shark closures. They give away cash and massages on “Take the Edge Off,” discuss bizarre thefts (including stolen ashes), riff on couples being opposites, read Dan’s Diary, and rank Adam Sandler, Trump and Madonna on the A‑Lister List. 00:00 Early Morning Banter 02:18 Strangers Touching Babies 06:15 First Call of the day 11:22 Celebrity Scandal Bits 13:51 More Or Less Game 22:10 Small Town News 25:32 Take the edge off winner 29:09 Weird Things Thieves Take 36:00 BSA Scrapped 37:45 Royal Rat Bag 39:08 Creche Driveway Drama 43:47 Opposites Attract 51:01 Take the edge off winner 53:50 Dans Diary Roast 58:52 Biscuit Debate Spiral 01:02:33 A Lister List 01:10:56 Wrap Up Outro
Transcribe →OVERTHINKERS Clint's headed off to Guatemala
May 1100:22:58Tap to summarizeClint’s algorithm has spoken and he’s ready to sell everything and move to Guatemala for a grand a month. We’re not sure if he’s actually leaving or if he’s just had enough of Meg calling Tom Hanks “Robert Gump,” but the wheels officially fall off when we try to imagine the show without him. Spoiler: Dan as an anchor is a total car crash you have to hear to believe. 0:00 - Meg’s Tuatara struggle 2:30 - The "Ata mārie" vs. "Mōrena" debate 4:45 - Robert Gump & Meg’s movie fails 6:30 - Dan’s $200 secret RC car tires 9:15 - The danger of "Elephant Gifts" 11:00 - The crew’s 3 favorite things 14:30 - Clint’s Guatemala escape plan 16:00 - Dan tries to anchor the show (and fails)
Transcribe →OVERTHINKERS Dan....SPIT!
May 700:18:16Tap to summarizeWe kicked things off with a massive announcement that Westlife is officially heading to New Zealand next July. This sparked a heated debate about when the "birthday weekend" actually happens if your big day falls on a Wednesday. Meg is convinced you have to celebrate the weekend after because you aren't actually the new age yet, while the rest of us are just trying to figure out how to stretch the party for as long as possible. Things took a turn for the weird when Meg dug up an old article from when she was 25 where she claimed she was "sick" of Taylor Swift. She barely recognised her own voice or her face from back then, let alone her taste in music. Clint chimed in saying he still sees the same guy inside himself, even if that guy is prone to some pretty questionable life choices. Speaking of questionable choices, Clint finally shared the full story of his infamous wedding haka. He was the celebrant for the ceremony but ended up shirtless on the transport bus at the end of the night, performing for a group of Australians who had never seen a haka in person. The cringe was real as he described the sober bride watching from the front of the bus while he gave it his absolute all. To finish us off, we entered a bizarre competition over who produces the most saliva. Dan claims he has a "regular swallowing system," but the audio evidence of everyone trying to spit on command says otherwise. It got messy, it got brown (thanks to Meg’s coffee), and it’s definitely something you’ll have to hear to believe.
Transcribe →FULL SHOW Dan hits the spot for all the mums out there
May 701:03:02Tap to summarizeClint, Meg and Dan kick off Friday with headphone drama and banter, then Dan recounts taking his son to Auckland Zoo, getting dripped on by a tiger and embarrassing himself climbing up a slide rescue. They celebrate David Attenborough turning 100, chat to long-time listeners who are truck drivers, and bring back “Hit The Spot” with Dan attempting Mumford & Sons for a Mother’s Day tie-in. The team plays a Mother’s Day trivia game, talks weekend sport with Laura McGoldrick, and Dan fails to convince a Canterbury mechanic to support the Blues. The team see who is Employee of the Week, Scandal includes KJ Apa and Kevin Hart, and Fire Chief Dave Phillips discusses underfunding and breakdowns in NZ Fire Service. They debate “hot or not” hobbies, award a Mother’s Day prize to Lisa, and Meg shares a chaotic bean-and-salad disaster day. 00:00 Unhinged Show Intro 01:51 Zoo Trip and Tiger Juice 02:57 Slide Rescue Disaster 04:51 Attenborough Turns 100 06:14 First Calls and Truck Talk 09:59 Hit The Spot Practice Run 13:44 Mothers Day Quiz Game 17:13 Laura McGoldrick Sports Preview 22:16 Who Dares Blues Pledge Prank 25:22 Employee of the Week Roast 29:26 Scandal Headlines Roundup 30:45 Fire Service Funding Crisis 34:45 Hot Or Not Hobbies 40:17 Listener Hobbies Hotline 44:49 Hit The Spot Mothers Day 47:49 Mothers Day Letter Surprise 52:11 Meg Worst Day Ever 01:01:11 Burnt Toast Theory Wrap 01:02:31 Final Sign Off
