Default something becomes corny, long-winded

Hi guys,

im trying to find a verb (may be a phrasal verb) for an action that is repeated by someone too many times as it becomes corny. In my dictionary I found the pharsal verb "dish up", however in none of the internet english dictionaries the expression has such a meaning. Accordning to them "dish up" means basicaly "serve" only.

Thus, how can i express the situation when someone goes over something so much, so many times and all time as it begins to bore and becoming long-winded.

thanks for your help
