Podcasts about overthinkers

On this Overthinkers Podcast episode, Meg and Dan chat with Calum Payne about personal “rebrands,” including Calum becoming “Cal” and Megan becoming “Meg,” before revisiting a past hypothetical: choosing three celebrities to help start a new society on Mars. Cal’s picks spiral from considering Obama to choosing Elon Musk, plus Meg and Guy, prompting jokes about leadership, survival skills, and reproduction. Meg revises her own Mars team to Handy Andy (Andy Kane), Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Michelle Obama. Dan rebuilds his list around Hailey Bieber, Barack Obama, and Zendaya, debating leadership, building, and entertainment.

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

We are exposing our deepest secrets today, including a forbidden, highly classified workplace romance that genuinely almost started World War 4 with our rival station. We are talking secret movie dates, undercover car park meetups, and the exact moment a single photo blew our entire cover. Trust us, you are not ready for this chaos.

We brought OVERTHINKERS live to the stage for an epic pre-show celebration of Dan's childhood masterpiece, HOOK, The Musical. What started as a hunt through Dan's mum Julie's attic turned into exposing his cringey diary which is 20 years old. We also do one of our most famous or infamous podcast segments live, this is one you don't want to miss!

We back! Absolute apologies for Friday's massive audio disaster—turns out we played "Guess the Fart" entirely to ourselves while you heard nothing, which is deeply embarrassing. Today, we are exposing Dan’s secret bad-boy weekend lifestyle, debating who the real office "dead weight" is, and trying to guess each other's weights. It gets chaotic fast.

We didn’t think this episode would devolve into Clint demonstrating a "sneaky" game he plays with his wife, but here we are. Meg is completely traumatized, Dan is stressing over the logistics of a three-way, and a primary school math quiz leaves us all spiraling. You’re not ready for this chaos.

We have officially spiraled. In this episode, Dan gets completely called out for a sneaky financial move against his own wife, while Clint considers completely cutting off his charity donations out of pure spite. Plus, we test our sanity with a chaotic impromptu speech generator that results in a massive argument about an imaginary "orphan bus." You are genuinely not ready for how fast this chat falls apart—hit play and join the madness!

We are completely spiralling this episode after going head-to-head over our actual reading ages, and it turns out Dan is basically operating with the brain of a 14-year-old boy. He blames his childhood ADHD, but we think he just needs to go back to school. You are not ready for how quickly this studio debate turns into absolute chaos, so come see if you can read better than us!

We just rehearsed what would happen if one of us died, and honestly, the loyalty is gone... Dan straight up admitted he’d be back on air by Monday just to pay his bills, while Clint absolutely lost his mind crying over a hypothetical hedgehog accident in a Toyota Vitz. You're not ready for how fast this spiraled into absolute chaos.

We are officially in full rehearsal mode for the musical, and things are already completely off the rails. While Dan was away trying to record his backing tracks, we sent Carl into the recording studio to spy on him, and let’s just say his high-register vocals are something you truly have to hear to believe. Between pranking Dan’s tracks and exposing Meg for being a bit too gassy in her own sessions, we are spiralling fast.

We are officially losing our minds this Friday. You are not ready for the sheer chaos of Dan admitting he once spent a four-hour dinner party pretending to be a blind man using a cattle prod as a cane just to win a bet. It gets weirder, it gets smellier, and we completely spiral.

I am in absolute shock that we just attempted to run a full theater rehearsal live on the podcast. Dan wrote a musical when he was 15 called Hook: The Musical, and we are performing it to a real, paying audience in a week and a half. We haven't practiced once.

We've never been more connected, and we've never been more alone. Men have endless ways to reach each other and almost no reason they'll actually use them. We don't reach out. We don't check in. We won't pay another man a compliment without slapping "no homo" on the end of it to make sure nobody mistakes us for caring. And somewhere along the way, we decided that the first flowers a man receives should arrive at his funeral. This week, AJ Kazmierczak joins the show to tear that pattern apart. We get into why connection is the single most valuable skill a man can build, how to develop it on purpose, and why most guys would rather avoid the discomfort of self-auditing than face what's actually holding them back. We talk accountability, discernment, evolving without losing yourself, and what it really costs to be the kind of man other men want in their corner.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Episode Introduction 01:30 - Reconnecting After Montana Knife Company 05:20 - Why Men Are More Connected Yet More Isolated 08:00 - The Lost Art of Complimenting Other Men 12:57 - Building Relationships Through Small Conversations 16:24 - Accountability and Encouragement in Unexpected Places 21:16 - Why Communication Skills Matter More Than Credentials 24:47 - Whose Opinions Should Actually Matter 31:21 - Creating an Identity Instead of Fitting In 35:49 - Authenticity, Attention, and Standing Out 38:36 - Evolving Without Losing Yourself 42:55 - Why Honest Feedback Is So Rare 45:09 - Self-Auditing and Becoming More Self-Aware 49:08 - Fast Decision Makers vs Overthinkers 51:59 - The Problem With Being the "Nice Guy" 54:14 - Technical Reset + Bringing It Home 55:12 - Redefining What It Means to Be Alpha 57:36 - Family, Purpose, and Building a Meaningful Life 01:00:18 - Connection, Conversation, and Community 01:01:12 - Winter Strong, Sorenex, and Future Plans 01:02:59 - Final Thoughts and Closing Remarks   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

We are completely spiralling over a viral TikTok proposal where a guy is bawling his eyes out while sportin’ an involuntary erection! It has us debating the science of a "Narb" (non-apparent reason boner), which leads Dan to confess an unbelievably awkward, completely naked midnight parenting fail. Plus, Yas tries to find out if "fanny flutters" can just happen out of nowhere for absolutely no reason at all. You are not ready for the sheer chaos in this one, wait until you hear what went down

I am still reeling from what we just let Dan say on air. We dug up our deepest university shame pits, starting with Clint’s bizarre backyard boxing match in a homemade "scort" and Yas’s horrific "slutty tradie" wardrobe malfunction. But nothing compares to Dan’s questionable panic attack.

We have officially gone too far today, and I blame the Friday energy. What started as an innocent debate about what color your jiz would be if you could choose it somehow spiralled into Meg confessing she completely skipped second base for years. Dan nearly lost his mind, and yes, we closed the week with a literal game of 'Guess the Fart.' You're not ready for this chaos.

We are completely spiraling today and you are not ready for how uncomfortable this gets. Dan immediately derails the show by admitting he did a baby-voice roleplay on Meg’s breast, and now he's terrified his mother-in-law is going to hear it. Things only get messier from there. We get into a massive fight over a broken studio camera, play a post-it note game that turns incredibly dirty, and try a round of "flirting tennis" that makes us sound like two glitching AI robots trying to read an erotic script. Turn it up, it's absolute chaos

Dan was fully laying his head on Meg’s bosom today because Clint was apparently "bullying" him at work. It was chaotic, deeply uncomfortable, this is one you dont wanna miss!

Why do driven, high-functioning people sometimes find themselves trapped in codependency  — bound to others in ways that feel obsessive, compulsive, and impossible to escape? In this episode, psychotherapist and Jungian analyst Gary Trosclair explores the hidden connection between compulsive personality types and codependent relationship patterns. Drawing on  attachment theory and Jungian psychology, Gary breaks down how the four compulsive types — the Mentor-Boss, the People-Pleaser, the Workaholic, and the Overthinker — each fall into codependent relationships  in their own distinct ways. You'll learn how popular culture romanticizes dependency, how your attachment style shapes your relationship habits, and why interdependence  — not codependence — is the healthier model for lasting love.

We completely lost the plot today. We started talking about a magical button that gives you cash but makes someone stub their toe, and somehow it devolved into whether Dan would soil himself daily for a hundred grand. You won't believe the diabolical nappy prank Producer Carl cooked up for him!

We are diving straight into our absolute darkest, most mortifying school memories, and honestly, we might never recover. Between Clint enabling a classic primary school disaster, Dan’s tragic Speedo mishap in front of his crush, and Bella accidentally broadcasting her own singing voice to a thousand students, the second-hand cringe is so real. You are definitely not ready for this chaos. 00:00 – Cringey school memories we just cannot shake 01:08 – Clint's mean roadside prank 02:27 – Bella’s ultimate assembly voice memo nightmare 03:47 – Dan's traumatic high school swimming sports story 05:25 – The impossible debate: Sex, Love, or Money? 06:50 – Why Producer Carl still needs physio after a savage wedgie 08:15 – The golden era of sneaky prepaid mobile hacks

We are officially panicking ahead of the Radio Awards! We’re praying for a "Blackie" win, but between Meg getting roasted mid-makeup prep and Dan defending a $3,000 suit because he apparently has the same leg measurements as Beauden Barrett, we’ve completely lost it. Add in a thirsty text from Dan’s mum about Lewis Hamilton and our boss accidentally entering us into the wrong age demographic, and it’s pure pre-show chaos. Hit play before we face a live lie detector test!

Join us as we delve into the journey of Overthinker, exploring their creative process, album release strategies, and upcoming tour plans. Discover insights into music production, the importance of physical media, and the unique experiences of touring and band dynamics.About Bardown Breakdown: Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are not an Isles podcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!

We tried to do something genuinely nice for once by talking behind people's backs in the absolute best way possible, but of course, it completely devolved into chaos. Clint revealed a truly wild mental trick he uses to stop himself from finding hot people attractive, and things got incredibly real when Dan started rinsing the entire New Zealand media industry. Plus, we check in on our Canadian listeners, and Meg ends up in actual tears over a wholesome friendship story. You are not ready for how fast this rolls down the hill!

Clint, Meg, and Dan plug their spicier Overthinkers podcast before debating future AI robot partners and joking about robot features. They cover celebrity chat about Anne Hathaway’s “snatched” braid look and Tina Fey denying Timothée Chalamet manspreading beef, then run “Take the Edge Off” cash calls, giving Flynn $250 for a new vacuum and Mackenzie $500 for a Warriors trip. The team continues auditions for Dan’s teenage-written musical “Hook,” comparing Dan’s serious Hook to Clint’s comedic NSYNC-style take and taking listener feedback. Meg tells a stressful story about her mum losing her phone/keys and an Uber drop-off mix-up. They finish with Kiwi invention news, a fundraiser for Kirstys, and calls about being born with extra body parts, including a dog born with multiple penises. 00:36 Hook Musical Tease 01:37 Overthinkers Podcast Plug 02:50 AI Robot Partner Debate 05:39 Scandal 07:29 Hook Audition Replay 09:04 First Call of the day 12:48 Naughty 640 14:40 Take The Edge Off Winner 16:49 Megs Mum Phone Lost Saga 23:24 Guess What Mum Trend 26:29 Hard Career Pivots 14:36 Cash Call Challenge 29:44 Warriors Trip Talk 31:15 Hook Musical Auditions 07:29 Clint Auditions Live 37:21 Listener Votes Roll In 41:21 Kiwi Inventions Roundup 43:54 Born With Extras

We finally wrapped up our massive country elimination bracket today, and you won’t believe who won. But things completely derailed when Producer Carl brought out a Google Doc exposing Clint's unhinged, cringe-worthy old Facebook statuses. From questionable luxury flexes to some seriously awkward throwback posts, Clint was left absolutely sweating in the studio. We also dive into the listener conspiracy theory about why Meg is barely getting any screen time on our video podcast. Trust us, you are not ready for this one!

What happens when Dan gets the power to design his ultimate robotic companion? It gets incredibly weird, incredibly fast. After an absolute Freudian slip on air, he accidentally admits he wants a male robot clone with vacuum cleaners for hands to help with some very specific household chores.

Welcome to maths class where the logic is completely made up and our calculator apps are clearly broken. We tackle a brutal listener hypothetical: you get $200,000 for every 5kg you instantly put on. Sounds like an easy win, but it took us five solid minutes of screaming, wild recalculations, and total brain meltdowns just to figure out the math. If you want to feel incredibly smart about your own basic arithmetic, you're going to love this absolute trainwreck of an episode. 00:00 – The World Cup of Countries: Down to the final two! 01:03 – Radio's biggest backstage legal battle. 02:02 – Meg’s "suggested" anger management class. 04:05 – Mailbox: A shoutout from Switzerland. 05:01 – Clint maps out his future geriatric soccer career. 07:44 – Maths Class: The weight-gain hypothetical that broke our brains.

Listener Amanda calls in about sharing the baby name Miller and her love of felting. The show covers headlines including Ed Sheeran leaving Warner, an Off Campus Season 2 casting update, the Enhanced Games, an AI pet translation collar, and the death of Top Twins’ Jules Topp. They play a “more or less” sales game, promote the Overthinkers podcast, and give “Take the Edge Off My Life” prizes to Renee and Matty. Stacey cracks the Neutrogena vault PIN and wins the sauna prize pack. They discuss cheating tactics like shared locked Notes, reveal Dan’s teen-written Hook musical being staged in June with auditions, debate A-list status for Eminem, Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and wrap with listener calls about songs people lost their virginity to. 00:15 Clint’s Spontaneous Night Out 01:23 Meg’s Wool Festival Confession 04:41 Caller Amanda and Baby Name Twins 08:37 Scandal Headlines Roundup 10:43 Enhanced Games Debate 12:04 AI Pet Translator Collar 13:14 Remembering Jules Topp 15:19 More or Less Viral Products 19:01 Overthinkers Podcast Push 22:19 Take the Edge Off 24:47 Hook Musical Update and Harry Styles 27:54 Virginity Song Callers 34:04 Guess What Challenge 36:56 Stacey Cracks The Pin 39:48 Cheaters Hidden Notes 47:55 Ex Cheater Confessions 51:38 Take The Edge Off 53:43 Hook Musical Returns 59:04 Hook Audition Rules 01:02:10 A List Debate Returns

Dan completely hotboxed himself in his own car over the weekend after hitting a very spicy medium butter chicken.

We are completely spiralling after today's show, and honestly, you are not ready for where this conversation went. What started as a casual chat about the Disney movie Cars somehow devolved into Dan's naked escapades on a Portuguese nude beach and Clint's apparently "pendulum-like" situation. Yes, Meg actually brought our children's lives into it to prove a point about Clint's anatomy, and now we can never look at him the same way again. Plus, we are officially nominated for a Radio Award, but Dan might have completely ruined our chances of winning before we even step foot on the red carpet. We even rehearsed our acceptance speech, and let’s just say it gets incredibly messy fast. Grab your headphones, because this one is pure, unadulterated chaos from start to finish.

We completely lost our minds this morning over a wild hypothetical game called 'The Memory Trade'. Imagine being offered the chance to instantly become world-class at absolutely any skill you want—but the catch is you have to completely erase one whole year of your past memories. Wait until you hear the year Dan chose to throw away and the shockingly accurate secret talent Clinton wants in return. Hit play and join the group chat before it’s too late! 00:00 – The team breaks the search engines looking for a very niche adult podcast. 00:46 – A pitch to get Julie, Philippa, and Christine to host a mums-only breakfast show. 01:14 – Why there are no all-female radio shows and the secret behind successful podcasts. 01:51 – Meg introduces 'The Memory Trade' and Dan immediately stops listening. 02:44 – Dan chooses which year of his life he wants to completely erase. 03:22 – Dan reveals his ultimate driving skill fantasy (featuring Lightning McQueen). 04:12 – Clint breaks down his ultimate bedroom skill trade-off. 04:54 – Dan outlines his highly illegal, chaotic plan to join a Formula 1 team. 05:54 – Clint shows off his celebrity impression skills until Meg walks out.

We went from zero to one hundred way too fast today. It all started with a simple country elimination and somehow devolved into whether Dan got drooled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo—or if it was something way worse. You are absolutely not ready for the rabbit hole we fell down trying to figure out if you can tell the difference between tiger spit and tiger jiz. To settle a separate argument about what a "chuff" actually is, we even ended up asking a medical expert a very questionable question. Plus, we put ourselves through a hypothetical lie detector test to find out if we're actually cool. 00:00 - Whipping out France from the country jar. 00:30 - The surprisingly real history of French kissing. 01:13 - Dan gets dribbled on by a tiger at the Auckland Zoo. 01:34 - The great tiger jiz vs. tiger saliva debate. 02:27 - What on earth is a chuff? (Spoiler: It has a lot of definitions). 03:10 - Can you get pregnant from anal sex? We ask a medical expert. 04:00 - The lie detector test: Are we actually cool? 05:15 - Meg's drumming skills and embarrassing BP moments. 06:12 - Why does Dan bounce when he walks and does Meg waddle?

Meg kicks things off with an absolute health anxiety crisis after her doctor dropped a casual "can't rule it out" bomb about a bump on her nose. Then things get totally unhinged as Dan reveals his wife has him insured for a casual $900k—making us genuinely concerned she’s going to push him down the stairs—and Clint literally loses his entire house to Meg over a basic geography debate. You’re not ready for this level of chaos, mate. [00:00] Meg’s "it's not cancer" doctor visit [02:30] Dan's suspicious $900k insurance policy [04:47] Exposing Ash London’s legendary studio air purifier drama [06:05] The great geography debate [08:34] Is Meg actually smart?

We 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.

I’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.

We’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.

Clint’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)

We’re spiraling over what our lives are actually worth. Would you shave a year off your clock for a million bucks? Clint’s got a specific "retirement" number that’s borderline offensive, Dan’s planning his life as a dangerous billionaire, and we unpack an influencer’s absolute DM meltdown. It gets deep, messy, and very expensive. 00:00 – The $1 Million button: Trading life for cash 01:50 – Clint’s weird premonition about dying at 62 03:05 – Dan’s toast break and the $10 Million "Job Quitting" number 04:25 – The Teleportation Gamble: Instant death or $10 Million? 05:50 – Dan’s secret spot in the Kaimai Ranges 07:45 – If Dan was a billionaire: Paying Meg to fart in the boss’s face 09:30 – James Charles' influencer meltdown: "No bitch, get a job" 11:55 – Clint’s sponsor child Ali-Ali Jumma and the "Goat" charity gift

We 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.
