The Little Locker Room crew roll in and immediately flip the script, with Ada taking charge and launching straight into “Boyfriends for Chitty.” I had no say in it, and somehow even less control. Absolute stitch-up from start to finish.

Q Hewi’s in, a late appearance from Cameron, and somehow, we start with a Northland kiwi sanctuary… before the chat takes a few classic Locker Room turns. Rural- ish, wildlife-ish — mainly just a good yarn with the lads.
