I’m interviewing for a job I know I’m overqualified for but I was recommended so they’re giving me a shot. I need to work is the honest truth. How do navigate this without sounding desperate?

That is hard and never really been in that position, usually I’m trying to make myself sound qualified enough. I would consider just trying to stay within what that specific job expects, try to limit your talking points on that and not all the other things you have experience in or have done before. No more, no less kind of approach.
