And Stace strives into one Leaden nicknames.
Speaker 1 (00:20):

Good morning everybody, it was Stace and as today, no
Charlie because he made the call early, not extremely late
like it did yesterday to stay at home.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, there is a video actually up on our Flavor
Radio where you can see what he said at six
o two, just like now when the MIC's turned on.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
If you missed it, well you might be eating. So
we'll just let you go find it yourself when you're reading.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Basically exactly coming up as your day in a jam.
But let's not forget about Flavor All Stars. Just to
recap what happened at four pm yesterday. The better was
between Beyondcey and Usher and Usher one.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
By a lens. Yep, they had no space Beyonce. That's
the thing is in Flavor All Stars, it's a head
to head. One goes through one does not. And so
it's like those situations that they say, you know, okay,
you can only have one who you're going to choose,
and Beyonce got nothing. I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But then I was also surprised about Bob Marley and
Michael Jackson yesterday eight am.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He put people in the corner. That's what they do.
He was out, So Bob Marley usher move on. But
who will it be next? Between Warren g and Lauren Hill.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a big.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Battle at eight am. Have you decided yet? Yeah? I
think I got to a place just then. Actually it's
about the music. Let's talk about school yard sayings because
I love them. I love them. My personal favorite is
talk to the handkers of face. Ain't listening? Yeah, I
mean it's a school yard, but it's sitting there, just
(01:54):
sort of resting in your brain, available for recall any second. Surprisingly,
why don't we use youdd sayings anymore?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Like?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Do you know? Do you know I would love to
use at the workplace? Boom like a shucker? Your bum
smells like cocker, Give me a smell, Laddiel.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But why would you ask to smell someone's bum? I
don't know in the workplace? And where was that saying
from say it again, boom like a chucker.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You're usually it's ass smells like kaka, give me a smell.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But why laddie and you've got a snuff stupid lyrics?
When would you say that? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We were just running around at lunchtime Harrisville Primary School,
you know, just saying it to each other or it's
usually these sayings are usually shut downs because you've got
nothing else to say. Let's be honest, the voucare but
it's not very big.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What am I? There? You go, I know what am I?
That's a good one. Yeah, it's pretty deep.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
No, And that's the thing, right, if you're under the
age of thirteen, you don't have all the words, but
you've got the saying. So got nothing to say. It's
when you hit them with a with a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Little yeah, or like a say it don't spray it
or the news not the weather. Oh, that's a good one.
All the say it don't spray. It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I used to be sorry that happened to me once
someone said it to me, and it was really embarrassed
because I actually did split while talking.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, that's rotty. Yeah, but also how complicated. Some
of the rhymes as pretty funny. I remember one of
the moms in our neighborhood. Now I think about it,
this is pretty mean of her. She made up a
rhyme about one of the other girls in the neighborhood.
What Lara Winter. Lara Winter had a splinter upper. Little
Barto Dot came out and pulled it out and said
(03:38):
that it was rotten.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That is kind of weird. But it was a different time,
but I was doing it was a different error. Yeah,
And then my dad had a school year I'd say
made up about home. It was like Lane, Lane go away,
don't come back another day, which was obviously the remix
for Rain, Rain Go Away.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you know, our last name is Lane, so it works.
That is actually going to set off a few people
go that's right. My name, you know, became the issue
like when people go, oh, okay, we're got to use
your name and make it a make it a joke. Thankfully,
as Zora's kind of hard to rhyme, so didn't have
that much. You got late. You just never know what
they're going to see in it, though, you know, they
(04:16):
can pick up something weird or you're unlucky and then
at the time there becomes a name like you know Karen, yes, Karen,
or you know my name is Jeff. Yeah, so yeah,
you just going along living your life as Jeff. And
then there's Jeff from bro Town, you know, Jeff the MILDI.
So you never know what's going to tune up.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's not your fault, basically, But do we miss any
school yard sayings we need to know? Okay, texted aid
two double oh oh, here's an entry. Sticks and stones
may bake my break my bones, but names whenever rot me.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That's a good one. Yeah, you're just like, I don't
care break my band and then you go karady you mum.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Later we've all been there, we'll go to what if
we missed let us know? Oh Andrew foul flavor. Of course,
felt like having sayings was a part of you know,
it was something you had.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was a requirement.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We had to have it as Kiwi kids growing up
here and old dad oh, you know, talk to the
handkers of the face saying listening.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And sometimes you do a remix like this, I'm pitching
the punch for the first of the month. They spit
in the eye for being so sly I love that one.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What about you, Tony, What what school did you go to?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And what was the saying? You always said?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Went to Cleveland Park Primary at the age of nine,
about twelve months. We go and play for when they
were a rugby club. Every time we take out board,
everybody all meets up and we start walking to school.
But these are these are saying. And one of the
boys always used to stay because you see the concrete slaves,
they got cracks in each one on the foot of
(05:52):
a concrete foot pup. And the one we used to
say a lot or the sages stip on a crack,
you marry a rat. To step on your eyes, you
may grass, So we forget to keep on it because
you always had to be lunch and he had to
share his luves with twelve boys.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You marry the grass, did you say.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
If you step on the crack, you marry a rat,
You step on the grass, you marry your art, But
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And then somehow that translates to him having to give
you guys lunch.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I just want to say, when you know the step
on the crack, marry rat. That was really really stressful
when we were kids and our culd sect because no,
but the boys next door this surnames Rat, So like
Mary a Rat. That's like, oh my gosh, you have
to marry Leon Rat.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Like that.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Those steaks are high man, I love that, Tony. What
about you, Michael? What school did you go to? Him?
What was the popular one that you guys were saying?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You know, I went to high school and popular saying.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Especially when we were walking to and from school and
around town when we saw other schools out and about,
like say college or Colorne or Intllegiate, was got our
eye problem?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
One out?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You know, I know what sort of finished the eye
problem as well? You know sometimes and pokokoho would be
saying eye problems and so word there ah you right.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Also also that the old did you get eyes for
breakfast or something? Did you say that, Michael, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's just got an eye problem when they said to yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, I love that one. See, I say, bring their back?
Why why why why have we become adults and we
just like no longer say these things because they're so good.
I still say, punching a punch for the first of
the month. Someone said, I can hear you, but I'm
not listening. Oh my gosh. Me and my brother used
to rinse that one. Yes, starting many fights back in
the day. This love it, I'm the king of the
(07:54):
castle and your dirty rascal.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's another one we should just say.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
For no reason, someone said I went to a Southern
Cross campus and when you went to fight, we would say,
do you want to battle to make your bum cheeks reddle?
I feel like you made that one up, or maybe
there was just a Southern Cross campus.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Ting very specific, I would be I'm way back at
marrying grouse.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
How would yeah, yeah, no, not adding that to my arsenal. No,
that that's for sure. Growing up was you had to
have these things focab, not high saying.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Your bum cheek's red, Okay, it's quite visual.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wanna battle, I'll make your bum cheeks reddle? I'm like,
I'm not sure that's going to get the desired effect of.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Wanting a battle. Someone what mysteries and you're gonna know
about Brownstone? So Brownstone, of course, it's an American female R
and B group that was popular in the mid nineties,
the best known for this song from nineteen ninety four,
if You Love Me, that was nominated for Best R
(09:02):
and b Performance Grammy Awards. They also had another song
you Might Know, Grapevine. This was all off their debut
albums and the rendition of the Eagle song I Can't
tell You Why I did well as well. So the
(09:24):
three original members of Brownstone were Monica Dobe Charmaine, Maxie Maxwell,
and Nicole and Nicki Gilbert. So they sat out in
LA they met each other. After doing lots of auditions
around the city, they formed the group and then they
were signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music record label about
a year later, and that originally been working on rap
songs going yeah, We're gonna be like Queen La Tiffa.
(09:45):
But their first single and the type of sound that
they would go with was actually chosen when they performed
at a music industry gig.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And then we went and performed at one of those
conferences and we did if You Love Me, and I
just remember we got like a three or four minute
standing over she had to do on the song, and
they're like, Uh, change your plans.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That's the record. That's record, that's the sound. And their
debut album, from the Bottom Up, which had if You
Love Me and grape Vine on it, actually earned that
Grammy Award nomination and a Billboard Music Award as well.
So they toured around the world and then one of
the women, Adobe, she left because of health reasons bronchitis.
But then the rumor was actually it's just that there
was a bit of drama in between the girls as well.
(10:25):
She got replaced by Kena Cosper, and then they've had
a few other members in the group, and then they
brought out a song that actually, you know, they made
a second album and they managed to get on the
Players Club soundtrack with this song Don't Play Me Wrong.
(10:47):
It was actually really good song that was nineteen ninety eight.
But from there some sad news that Maxie actually died
in a accident in twenty fifteen when she was forty
six and nineteen. They decide they're going to reunite and
reunite and they did a performance at the Essence Festival,
and then a couple of years ago they went, Okay,
(11:08):
we've got a new member and we're going to bring
out a new song called All I Want No One.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
This is crazy to me that they're like, it's stuff
that we're going to put out music.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, well, they said, we're just gonna have a different sound.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They've been doing some covers as well, like of eight
and No Mounton and High Enough, all of those things. And
if you check out Brownstone dot com you can see
that they've got another album back again that is coming
out as well. But we still think about Brownstone and
I guess the quintessential hit, the one that everyone went well,
that's the song standing over this one from nineteen ninety four,
If you love Me Brownstone, because if you don't know,
(11:45):
now you know stays Azora and Charlie.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We are lucky enough to be joined by someone very special, Honey.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
My Story of Love, Larlson Victory, and it goes to
all those plays. It's a brand new book from Honey
Hit and Miss Smiler with Suzanne mcfahn and she's in
here right now then that I want to quet or
had am. I thank you so much for coming in. Honey. Wow,
you really went there with this book. You were a
little shit, weren't you growing up.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's probably the best summary that I've heard from anyone.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Who I was like, Wow, you're challenging. You talk about
your own mental health when you started commentating for Sky
and reading comments, which is it's not a good thing,
especially because people pick up on things that you're actually
and self careous about. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I think when I first started, all the comments were
about my parents, you know, what I was wearing, what
I looked like, the makeup, all of the stuff that
I already had my own complexes about. So then to
see it being blown up all over social media, it
was like, oh far out like and it was frustrating
because no one was talking about the actual money that
I was doing, you know, and I was still learning
it that as well. But even now, even with the
(12:51):
book coming out, like you know, a lot of critics already,
and I think I mentioned in the book sometimes obviously
I stopped looking for it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
But then my family go and take me minutes. Yeah, yeah, Yeahca.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's the thing is that this book, truly it goes
to all the places. I mean, I was cracking out
when I read that. Was it you and your friends
or you and your cousins stole your dad's tractor to
drive down to the alcohol store. I was like, that's
pretty funny right there.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, absolutely, go down the alcohol stal, grab a box,
carry it back, and we're hanging off there. You just
I don't know, how to drive the tractor, just to
clarify with my dad. And my dad's actually just discovering
this for the book. So there's parts of the book
I sent my dad to go over with. I sent
him that part, so he's learning all of this stuff
that he didn't know what I was up to as
as a teenager.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, I'm interested as to what it took for you
to decide to write this book because love, loss, and victory,
as I say, you really do go deep on all
of those things. So what did it take for you
to decide to write this book.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't think you ever really prepare how deep you
are going to go. And for a lot of it,
you know, a credit to Susan McFadden. Like, we we
spent a whole year working on this book, and a
lot of it was just conversation. So she, you know,
we sort of worked out, you know, what are some
of the key moments in my life, and then we
started to shape the story around that. But it was
the way she questioned and asked me different things that
(14:12):
forced me to remember, to force me I suppose refeel
some of those things that I probably squashed and actually
not thought about because it's like I want to.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Think about that. That was hard.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You know, I talk about it being a healing journey,
but in order to heal, you actually had to go
through it again. And so for me that was that
was really really tough. And I remember that reading the
first draft of the book like whoa like man, This
is harsh, really harsh.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But like you said, in a journey of healing, because
when you can mention to know, ha ha ha, you
were a naughty you know, you're a bully, but there's
a reason for that, because there's some intergenerational mummay there's
things your dad was dealing with and how he turned
to alcohol maybe those kind of things. So getting that
for gate thing and getting that agreement, how is that
for you as a fan?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, it was challenging and it forced us to have
conversations that we never had as kids, as you know,
and when you have to go back and talk to
your parents about stuff that you you know, maybe went
through as a kid, you fall back into that child
like person. And it was like, I'm not having I'm
an adult having a conversation with my dad as an adult,
but straight away I fell back into being a kid,
(15:14):
Like oh's okay, Dad, they.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Didn't realize how you even felt at the time or
what you remembered. Because it's it's funny, like, you know,
their version of reality and what they can remember and
not remember. It's interesting because I find you know, some
of your most traumatic moments, everyone's most traumatic moments, especially
with their parents, they.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Don't remember because they were under the influence. Absolutely, So
it's like, you're so right.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
So when I talk about some of those tough times
with the domestic violence, you know, Dad was like, oh,
I never I never realized, you know. And even my
brother's in the same room when it's all happening, and
he's like, I remembered it when you said that. Yeah,
So it was healing for our whole fun note.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
There's just so many amazing things that we can and
should talk about. So we're going to play a quick
song and we're going to come back. Honey is not
going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Please stay right here. Yeah, we're here with Honey hit
hims Maline. You're awesome. But we're just saying before that
you've gone and to really personal things that have happened
to you and to your far no and giving us
all insights on how you can deal with things. Is
that what you wanted to do?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I think right throughout the book. I mean that that's
one moment in time. But there's so many challenges I
think that are faced as young honey, as sports honey,
it is commentator honey, is.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All throughout life, wife honey, life honey.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I And so I think just knowing that life throws
you so many shitty times, and but they'se always hope,
You've always just got to keep.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Pushing through it. How do you feel about your life
when you look at this, because I go, wow, this
is an incredible life, a large line, and in halfway.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Through it, well it's now telling everybody that I'm forty plus. Yeah,
I'm proud, you know, and it's probably taken me a
long time to admit that.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The biggest reason I didn't want to write the book
was because I was afraid of what.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
People would think.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
But actually I don't care, you know, like you know,
I don't regret what I've been through. I've gone through it.
I hope people can learn through it, learn from it. Sorry, Yeah,
I'm not ashamed anymore of that person. Funny story, I
actually was at the Farmer's market down and Kittykid it
all on the weekend buying a coffee and the guy
in the coffee shop said, honey, remember me from school
and I was like, oh, yeah, didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But anyway, he said, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You and your brother owed your skateboard and I said,
we're at the skate ramp and you asked to borrow
my skateboard and you's broke it and you laughed and never.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Navigate with gosh. I was like, has he said that to.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Me because he's just read the book or is this
for real?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We laughed about it.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I said, right, I'm going to buy ten coffees the
back for the skateboard.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But that's been cool though, Like it's been cool for
a lot of my childhood friends my community to read
that I've kept it real. I haven't been fake about anything,
you know. Yeah, And it's so like I think a
lot of your experiences, even though they very specific to you,
people can relate to a lot of a lot of
what you went through growing up.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But maybe not the victory part.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, people see that, you know, that's what people see
as they see the star, the sports star, the commentator
that you know, But there's a really, really really huge
part of your life that they don't see. And that's
what this book shows is like literally, like you said,
life is throws shit at you all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, you're You're so right.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think people see our sports stars as these heroes
or heroines, but they don't understand the substance that isn't
behind them.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And everyone's got that story and I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Really see you're having exactly and you know, a lot
of it is about grief. But I just hope that
it encourages other sports people just or other wa other Marti.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
To write their book and tell this story. And I
was literally just.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Having accorded with Cruise from Takadidi, you know, and he's like, oh,
I said you should do a book, bro, And he's like,
oh no, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Got a story. I was like, You've got an absolute story.
Everybody's got a story, and I want people to share that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Like that's that's what we learn, people sharing their stories.
And we're as Mary, I think we really fuck them about.
You know, we have this I suppose we worry about
that whole tall poppy syndrome. And sometimes humility gets in
the way, but it doesn't have to. You know it's
actually people are going to learn from it. And all
the feedback that I've had from the book so far
(19:19):
has been there has been like thank you, thank you
for sharing your story so.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, they feel seen had all I thought that. You know,
there's there's healing in the words, and she's done an
amazing job. It's really easy to read, like good luck
trying to stop reading and so it's honey, this is
my story of love, loss and victory, guns and the
bookshop just go oh, she looks good. There go girl.
Then I do how to my thank You're ugly? It
(19:44):
was his name, wasn't Kendrick Lamas? Do you think that
people call him k No? They don't. I'm here to
tell you there are certain leaders of the alphabet that
are not useful as nicknames, and there are some that
do become nicknames. You know, lot of people. Their name
might be Teresa, it might be did I need that,
It might be Torran. They are known as t. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, I've got another one. D. What's d Who's d well?
D is a nickname that people use.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah for someone like is all of those David? So
I'm going to say these are the letters that are
helpful as nicknames, they just get shortened from your name B, D, E, G.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
H.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I've heard H surprisingly H for like Harrison, Yeah it's
not I think it is J. I call my friend
we needed J. Yeah, uh P like Patrina Patricia that
p Q funnily enough, like for Quentin. Yeah, I've heard
(20:50):
that before. I've heard that T as I say V
V names you don't expect it, but ye V. I
know she's V.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It's They all sound the same though, B T V, yes,
J J, but j's like an actual name case.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm just talking about helpful alphabet lessons.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, I'll tell you what they're not using. Are not
so weird like I have. Imagine if you said A,
can you pass me like? That doesn't sound right? See
also does not work. L. No one does that.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
L no. I know that's not a thing, and you're
not gonna go R nah. I wouldn't say S either.
I know no one calls me. They wouldn't. And you,
that's unhelpful sitting there. It's you and it means you.
One that I think is out of the bag and
(21:48):
unexpected coming in late just at the end of the
alphabet is X. People do get called X someone called
Xavier X. So does anyone want to fight me on that?
Because I think I've just found the helpful letters of
the alphabet to be a nickname, a short nickname, or
something you've got to think about.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I would imagine if you're having kids as well, because
you know, if you choose a name, we're easily it
could be a one letter nickname.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That could be what it ends up as.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I know, you know my god daughter she's Penelope, but
we call her p yep.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
My daughter her name is Kuda Walker and somehow she
gets the nickname kdub. Like said the dub for WK.
I like the kdub. Well, so yeah, if anyone reckons
I've got I've missed it out. I think the only
letters that you use as a nickname are the letters
just letters B, D, E, G, H, J, P, Q,
T V X. That's it. One's interested in A, No
(22:45):
one's interested in C, no one's interested in L or
U for instance.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Feel free to fight Stace. She's ready there, she's ready
A two double O Stace A Zorralie. I'm excited for
this one. And let's go back to the year nineteen
ninety when Claudia Mushen was sitting at her kitchen table
(23:11):
in Wellington and started writing a song. Little did this
teacher know that this song would be decades long of success.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
The song would have decades of success. It's none other then. Yeah,
So what year was that graandfast lunch? Nineteen ninety was
when she wrote the song.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yep, and it was inspired by her son Steve, who
absolutely loved fish and chips, always asking for them, even
asking for her to make them. They came from the family,
came from the UK to Wellington, so fish and chips.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Is quite big over there. It's big over here.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Too, So it was, you know, a household tradition for
their family and for a lot of other families here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Did you both sing it at school? Yes? Anna and
Yeah I still sung it at school, man, I just
missed it.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well, they say, you know, if you're under the age
of forty, then you should know the song off by heart.
In fact, you should know all the songs from Kiwi
Kids Songs, which is you know what the song was
released on featuring.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Again this one? Yeah you know it again back in
the second Fday band Here Day.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So Accordia incredibly like I said she was a teacher
in Wellington. After writing the song at the kitchen table,
she went and then hummed it to another teacher who
helped put her put the song together. And it wasn't
recorded officially for the album and the cassette Kiwi Kid
(24:54):
Songs until nineteen ninety two. Then it was handed out
to all the schools in the more too, the cassette first,
then the CD once we are advanced in the technology,
but yes it is, and then they played it on
the ab equipment in the hall so everyone could sing along. Yeah,
(25:14):
make my lips. These days, Cordia is almost in her
eighties and she's too weak to even lift a pin
on her own.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
She's preparing to get ready to move into a care
home at the moment, which is always a bit of
a shame, but she said, hey.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I love my little life.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
And even the nurses in the care home and the
ones they help her at her house, they still get
a kicker out of singing fish and Chips to her,
you know, And she is the creator. So we remember you,
and we remember the time Claudia.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Kats fast ship chips. Yeah chips. The latest celebrity gos
from around the world waive of breakfast. Oh mcs O man.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Official, Rihanna, pray it's no longer the richest female and
music Okay, who's over taken her?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Take a guess? Oh oh hang on, no, no, no,
come on, Tada Swift. It must be new year? Plea
please please? What's crazy is there?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Taylor Swift actually only became a billionaire in October twenty
twenty three, so last year. But because of her Era's
tour and her pretty extensive music hadalog that adds to it. Yeah,
she earned six hundred million dollars from royalties and touring alone.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yep in the morning. Yeah, I was talking to my
cousin who went to one of her shows, one of
the first one on the RAS tour. There were eighty
thousand people in that stadium. It's crazy. So we're buying
twenty dollars margaritas. I mean, this is where all the
cash comes from. It does, it does?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So her networth is now one point six billion dollars
Rihanna one point four. It sounds like it's close to
get but when you reach the billions, there's a two
hundred million dollar difference. Think of it like that two
hundred million dollar difference between the.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Two and Mayboy's doing fine anyway, what do you even
do with that kind of money? That was absolutely fine.
And now when it comes to well Piers Morgan, who
is problematic full stop. So he has his show Piers
Morgan Uncensored, and so he hosted a woman called Jaguar
right on his show, and she is a singer and
(27:30):
she's become a viral personality, and she just decided to
throw out some allegations about jay Z and Beyonce. She said,
for four years, I've been screaming not just Diddy, but
Diddy and jay Z are monsters. She also alleged numerous
victims of assault from who have been assaulted by jay
Z and Beyonce. And now, after being contacted by the
(27:52):
Carter's legal team who shut down those rumors, Piers Morgan
addressed that interview they.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Were not present to respond all attendants else but now
they have their lawyer's contact is to say that those
plans were totally falls and have no basis in fact,
and we therefore comply with a legal request to cut
them from the original interview.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Editing interviews is not something we.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Do lightly at a show called Uncensored, but like the
proverbial prize of fire and a crowded theater, there are
legal limits on us too. We apologize to Jay z Ambiance.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh as An, you better because you got nothing. Yeah,
I mean living.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Someone just come on your show and run their mouth.
It's really not good. I saw reckon the show is
getting sued. There's my guess.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, guess yeah, yeah, there's the only one's backing down
on that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But we're still going to have to pay fine gas.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So you can see this maybe on a meme online.
It's very Facebook relevant, very Facebook right now. But there
was a moment when you're at school and probably a
Thursday afternoon, maybe Friday afternoon, and then you go into
class and all of a sudden, if the thing stops
and go what's the teacher doing? They go out and
come in again and they are pushing the TV on
(29:10):
a trolley. We're on baby, Yep, it's gonna be a
great day in class. We're watching something on TV. And
you usually do it near the end of term. We
did it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Sometimes do it at random, which I can't explain.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I really just think the teacher had enough. They didn't
have enough teacher only days. That's what was happening then. Also,
I don't know if this is going to hit for you, Azrara,
because you are in your twenties. I don't know if
they still used it. But do you remember ohps, do
you know what they are? A predictor? Yeah? But do
you remember like when they had to.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Put the transparency too, Yeah, onto the light and then
it would bounce up onto the whiteboard.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah yeah, we had that. Oh cool? And did you
have those cool little felt markers you could write to
your own stuff on a transparency ohb transparency transparency and
make your own thing that could be trajected. I can't
remember doing that, but I remember standing in a certain
place and then our teacher would trace over us on
(30:16):
the whiteboard like that piece of paper up and then
that was.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Your face head of color. And the bad part is
I was side on. We were all side on, and
I must have moved slash I have a ski jump
nose and everyone laughed at my side profile, which ever since.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Then, I've been insecure about it. I'm not even kidding.
There was a year five at Harrisville Primary School. But
that's the thing that you remember, And then I just
had a flashback that to make the HB transparencies. These
have a paperbacking on them, and then they could type
in them put them an actual typewriter. That's so weird,
I know, And that's how they would make a nice
looking and professional looking OHP transparency. But then I thought
(30:56):
it was pretty magic once they got the pins, when
anyone could just write up and then you just because
you want to use the technology, you just start writing anything.
I wish I had something good to write here, but
I don't, so I'm just going to like making picture. See.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I wasn't never allowed to ride on ours. It was
only the teachers missing out.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I don't know. It just just pretty loose, you know.
So christ Chi, I got this new technology, go grab it.
Remember the smell of it. I remember because the HB
would heat up and it was semi burning.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And you'd also see the dust flying around between the lights.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Those are the dads as well.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah. Of the days, Oh my gosh, A big app
is being sued.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I use the app every day, TikTok so. More than
a dozen states in the United States of America have
sued TikTok, accusing them of driving a mental health crisis
amongst teenagers. So it's a group of fourteen attorneys generals,
so that's really high level attorneys from across the country
(31:57):
alleging that TikTok uses addictive features to help children into
the app, and then it's intentionally misled the public about
the safety of using TikTok for so long. TikTok says
the lawsuit is disappointing and they think that it's inaccurate
and misleading. But they're already in a sort of law
(32:19):
battle against a ban in the US unless the Chinese
parent company agreed to a sail. So basically, the Americans
want TikTok to be based in America, you know, benefit them.
But then this is another issue around, say the TikTok
challenges and how it's been so dangerous. Kids have actually
(32:39):
died in accidents because they're trying to do the challenges
they're seeing on TikTok, those kind of things, And in
terms of the addictiveness, that's real.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Oh, it's definitely real. I think it's insane to me
that fourteen attorney generals are working on this, Like it
shows you they know something we don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's what I think would be sort of system like because.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
There's no way, there's no way you do something like
that lightly.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well, you could say, I mean Facebook and it's remen
pretty addictive too.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Oh yeah, I think all of the but I'm like,
why TikTok? Why are they so.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The Chinese ownership is probably part of it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
There we go, conspiracy, I'm jumping on that.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Well, I'm telling you about.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That's definitely true. The law suits are happening. Stay so
seen when you did there? She invented a new word
sm eq social media emotional intelligence.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, so you know. Emotional intelligence is when you can
kind of pick up on things that are happening that
not necessarily said, but you can, you know, and you
consider what other people are thinking and feeling, and then
if you play that to social media, then you can
sort of see more in between the lines of their post.
You've got high social media eq ll smick you, smick you.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And we've actually got a quiz because it's important to
know where you sit, Charlie. We realize he's the lowest
of the low. He's got the lowm EQ. I took
the tist to the quiz. I got the high sm EQ,
which I knew that, Like, I noticed when people aren't
on the grid. I noticed when people aren't you know,
I know what all those things mean, but do you
That's why we want you to take the quiz.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So tix the word quiz to eight two.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Double O and you can find out what you get low,
medium or high, and please let us know what you get.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yes, yes, we definitely want to know. It's also up
at flavor dot Coda inns it. But that like the
easiest way to get it. Ticks quiz to eight to
double oh, and yeah, let us know. I think a
lot of people will do the quiz going well, I
already know that I'm high, and then some people if
you suspect you'd be low, then you should do it
to go Okay, what do they mean?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
What would medium or higher be? Like I did get
one question wrong, which I was surprised about.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Us not wrong, it's just different. Yeah, I yeah, I chose.
I chose an answer that I regretted straight away. You
know when you I do that on the General Knowledge
ones of course and on the phone. We are very
lucky and we love her so much. Sky Sports broadcaster
(35:11):
Extraordinary Courtney Tidy.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Kate the bear Hock.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
We had to call a happy as always so Courtney.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
A couple of quick questions for you personally, as a
you know, sports broadcaster, I find that you don't talk
much about cricket.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
In saying that that is true? Yeah, so then can
I correctly assume that you should be getting a break
round about now since most sports, you know, they're wrapping up,
you know all they're close to it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, yes, you are right.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
We're starting to wind out a little bit with all
the sports that I cover, but we still have plenty
of Silver Ferns and the Key rugby league coming up.
So but I am getting a little bit more quiet.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Which is yeah, well you deserve it. And what about
the Black fern camp? What can you tell us about
where they're at?
Speaker 8 (36:07):
Yeah, look, they are over seas at the moment on
their tournament in Canada. It hasn't been the great campaign
for our Black Ferns. They take on France this Sunday,
which we can all watch live because it's such a
good time at eleven forty five am on Sky Sport
one and free to on Sky Open if you don't
have Sky. But unfortunately they did lose their first two
games to Ireland and England. So this is a really
(36:31):
they can't win the tournament anymore, but this is a
mustimon against France. They're playing for pride, they're playing for mother.
They want to get up for this one because this
is their really their last overseas challenge before they head
to Aloa and they've got the Rugby World Cup coming
up there.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah yeah, and people have such big expectations on the
Black Fans day, so let's watch them and support them, right.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
Absolutely, get behind our way, Paula. And the thing is
they playing good football. They can score a lot of points.
That scored thirty one points in their last match. Unfortunately
England scored more. So for me, it's just defensively. They
just need to sign it up a bit more on
defense and get their defensive rig rights. But if you
love watching rugby games where a lot of points are good,
(37:14):
watch our because they know how to score beautiful trans
But for me, it's just on the back end of
that defensively stopping those trips.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
There's still need ball. I remember you saying that.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
Yeah, there's still Silver Fans coming up playing against Australia
in the Constellation Cup. So we have two games over
here coming up in two weeks we've got our kiwis
for the Rugby League. Our and our par will be
playing Australia and Up in the next two weeks as well.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I saw that you went to the launch. I'm just
gonna check in here of Dan Carter's fragrance and it
looked very fancy and tell us how it smells. How
would you describe it?
Speaker 8 (37:48):
I would say it's a very nice fresh this summer
and it's one of those ones like I quite like
where where you can wear I guess minsense as a
w it's really nice, like i'd have it for a
perfume for myself. It was really nice presdent up this summer.
It was a great event. He's such a good advocate
(38:10):
for men and women's sports, so it was great to
get along and support him now that he is retired
and just starting that we're not starting, but continuing with
his career outside of sports.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
No, yeah, that's the way. And thank you for just
covering all the basis for us as you always do,
Courtney thirty, reminding us what we can watch on Sky
Sport this weekend.
Speaker 8 (38:30):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What do we think Stace, is Charlie going to be
back for tomorrow, for Friday.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Is I think he will, and I think we need
to look at how challenging this challenge is, and maybe
it's still challenging. I would love to see.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
The weird thing is is there he's paying for a
nutrition plan, but this guy goes pretty rogue.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Man. I think he's taken extra one of those islexatives
with laxative elements in them. So okay, listen, I'm not
a doctor. I'm just saying, well.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
That's the thing is that you can take some sort
of supplements for digestive, so you've got to be a
little bit careful. And we're obviously not professionals, but.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Saying because I feel like she'll know. His wife will know.
I bet you she's been saying the same things we've
been saying.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
This is I always said to him, like, you're forty
years old, man, you should know better than to like
not know what to eat and stuff. But we will
be very happy to have him back. Hopefully it's not
a bug, because then we'll have it. Since he came
in out, I.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Think we find are made of iron.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Oh, mister Charlie, hopefully you'll be tomorrow. You should take
it out of podcast on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's just hilarious.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
We kind of got in trouble as well and had
to do an apology podcast. You can check that out
by texting to double O again. We're really sorry, Penny,
We love you.

like it did yesterday to stay at home.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah, there is a video actually up on our Flavor

o two, just like now when the MIC's turned on.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
If you missed it, well you might be eating. So
we'll just let you go find it yourself when you're reading.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Basically exactly coming up as your day in a jam.
But let's not forget about Flavor All Stars. Just to
recap what happened at four pm yesterday. The better was
between Beyondcey and Usher and Usher one.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
By a lens. Yep, they had no space Beyonce. That's
the thing is in Flavor All Stars, it's a head
to head. One goes through one does not. And so
it's like those situations that they say, you know, okay,
you can only have one who you're going to choose,
and Beyonce got nothing. I can't believe that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
But then I was also surprised about Bob Marley and
Michael Jackson yesterday eight am.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He put people in the corner. That's what they do.
He was out, So Bob Marley usher move on. But
who will it be next? Between Warren g and Lauren Hill.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It's a big.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Battle at eight am. Have you decided yet? Yeah? I
think I got to a place just then. Actually it's
about the music. Let's talk about school yard sayings because
I love them. I love them. My personal favorite is
talk to the handkers of face. Ain't listening? Yeah, I
mean it's a school yard, but it's sitting there, just
(01:54):
sort of resting in your brain, available for recall any second. Surprisingly,
why don't we use youdd sayings anymore?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Like?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Do you know? Do you know I would love to
use at the workplace? Boom like a shucker? Your bum
smells like cocker, Give me a smell, Laddiel.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
But why would you ask to smell someone's bum? I
don't know in the workplace? And where was that saying
from say it again, boom like a chucker.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You're usually it's ass smells like kaka, give me a smell.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
But why laddie and you've got a snuff stupid lyrics?
When would you say that? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
We were just running around at lunchtime Harrisville Primary School,
you know, just saying it to each other or it's
usually these sayings are usually shut downs because you've got
nothing else to say. Let's be honest, the voucare but
it's not very big.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
What am I? There? You go, I know what am I?
That's a good one. Yeah, it's pretty deep.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
No, And that's the thing, right, if you're under the
age of thirteen, you don't have all the words, but
you've got the saying. So got nothing to say. It's
when you hit them with a with a.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Little yeah, or like a say it don't spray it
or the news not the weather. Oh, that's a good one.
All the say it don't spray. It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I used to be sorry that happened to me once
someone said it to me, and it was really embarrassed
because I actually did split while talking.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, that's rotty. Yeah, but also how complicated. Some
of the rhymes as pretty funny. I remember one of
the moms in our neighborhood. Now I think about it,
this is pretty mean of her. She made up a
rhyme about one of the other girls in the neighborhood.
What Lara Winter. Lara Winter had a splinter upper. Little
Barto Dot came out and pulled it out and said
(03:38):
that it was rotten.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
That is kind of weird. But it was a different time,
but I was doing it was a different error. Yeah,
And then my dad had a school year I'd say
made up about home. It was like Lane, Lane go away,
don't come back another day, which was obviously the remix
for Rain, Rain Go Away.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you know, our last name is Lane, so it works.
That is actually going to set off a few people
go that's right. My name, you know, became the issue
like when people go, oh, okay, we're got to use
your name and make it a make it a joke. Thankfully,
as Zora's kind of hard to rhyme, so didn't have
that much. You got late. You just never know what
they're going to see in it, though, you know, they
(04:16):
can pick up something weird or you're unlucky and then
at the time there becomes a name like you know Karen, yes, Karen,
or you know my name is Jeff. Yeah, so yeah,
you just going along living your life as Jeff. And
then there's Jeff from bro Town, you know, Jeff the MILDI.
So you never know what's going to tune up.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's not your fault, basically, But do we miss any
school yard sayings we need to know? Okay, texted aid
two double oh oh, here's an entry. Sticks and stones
may bake my break my bones, but names whenever rot me.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That's a good one. Yeah, you're just like, I don't
care break my band and then you go karady you mum.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Later we've all been there, we'll go to what if
we missed let us know? Oh Andrew foul flavor. Of course,
felt like having sayings was a part of you know,
it was something you had.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
It was a requirement.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We had to have it as Kiwi kids growing up
here and old dad oh, you know, talk to the
handkers of the face saying listening.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And sometimes you do a remix like this, I'm pitching
the punch for the first of the month. They spit
in the eye for being so sly I love that one.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What about you, Tony, What what school did you go to?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
And what was the saying? You always said?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Went to Cleveland Park Primary at the age of nine,
about twelve months. We go and play for when they
were a rugby club. Every time we take out board,
everybody all meets up and we start walking to school.
But these are these are saying. And one of the
boys always used to stay because you see the concrete slaves,
they got cracks in each one on the foot of
(05:52):
a concrete foot pup. And the one we used to
say a lot or the sages stip on a crack,
you marry a rat. To step on your eyes, you
may grass, So we forget to keep on it because
you always had to be lunch and he had to
share his luves with twelve boys.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You marry the grass, did you say.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
If you step on the crack, you marry a rat,
You step on the grass, you marry your art, But
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And then somehow that translates to him having to give
you guys lunch.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
I just want to say, when you know the step
on the crack, marry rat. That was really really stressful
when we were kids and our culd sect because no,
but the boys next door this surnames Rat, So like
Mary a Rat. That's like, oh my gosh, you have

Like that.

Those steaks are high man, I love that, Tony. What

What was the popular one that you guys were saying?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
You know, I went to high school and popular saying.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Especially when we were walking to and from school and
around town when we saw other schools out and about,
like say college or Colorne or Intllegiate, was got our
eye problem?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
One out?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You know, I know what sort of finished the eye
problem as well? You know sometimes and pokokoho would be
saying eye problems and so word there ah you right.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Also also that the old did you get eyes for
breakfast or something? Did you say that, Michael, Oh.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's just got an eye problem when they said to yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah, I love that one. See, I say, bring their back?
Why why why why have we become adults and we
just like no longer say these things because they're so good.
I still say, punching a punch for the first of
the month. Someone said, I can hear you, but I'm
not listening. Oh my gosh. Me and my brother used
to rinse that one. Yes, starting many fights back in
the day. This love it, I'm the king of the
(07:54):
castle and your dirty rascal.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
That's another one we should just say.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
For no reason, someone said I went to a Southern
Cross campus and when you went to fight, we would say,
do you want to battle to make your bum cheeks reddle?
I feel like you made that one up, or maybe
there was just a Southern Cross campus.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Ting very specific, I would be I'm way back at
marrying grouse.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
How would yeah, yeah, no, not adding that to my arsenal. No,
that that's for sure. Growing up was you had to
have these things focab, not high saying.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Your bum cheek's red, Okay, it's quite visual.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Wanna battle, I'll make your bum cheeks reddle? I'm like,
I'm not sure that's going to get the desired effect of.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Wanting a battle. Someone what mysteries and you're gonna know
about Brownstone? So Brownstone, of course, it's an American female R
and B group that was popular in the mid nineties,
the best known for this song from nineteen ninety four,
if You Love Me, that was nominated for Best R
(09:02):
and b Performance Grammy Awards. They also had another song
you Might Know, Grapevine. This was all off their debut
albums and the rendition of the Eagle song I Can't
tell You Why I did well as well. So the
(09:24):
three original members of Brownstone were Monica Dobe Charmaine, Maxie Maxwell,
and Nicole and Nicki Gilbert. So they sat out in
LA they met each other. After doing lots of auditions
around the city, they formed the group and then they
were signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music record label about
a year later, and that originally been working on rap
songs going yeah, We're gonna be like Queen La Tiffa.
(09:45):
But their first single and the type of sound that
they would go with was actually chosen when they performed
at a music industry gig.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
And then we went and performed at one of those
conferences and we did if You Love Me, and I
just remember we got like a three or four minute
standing over she had to do on the song, and
they're like, Uh, change your plans.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
That's the record. That's record, that's the sound. And their
debut album, from the Bottom Up, which had if You
Love Me and grape Vine on it, actually earned that
Grammy Award nomination and a Billboard Music Award as well.
So they toured around the world and then one of
the women, Adobe, she left because of health reasons bronchitis.
But then the rumor was actually it's just that there
was a bit of drama in between the girls as well.
(10:25):
She got replaced by Kena Cosper, and then they've had
a few other members in the group, and then they
brought out a song that actually, you know, they made
a second album and they managed to get on the
Players Club soundtrack with this song Don't Play Me Wrong.
(10:47):
It was actually really good song that was nineteen ninety eight.
But from there some sad news that Maxie actually died
in a accident in twenty fifteen when she was forty
six and nineteen. They decide they're going to reunite and
reunite and they did a performance at the Essence Festival,
and then a couple of years ago they went, Okay,
(11:08):
we've got a new member and we're going to bring
out a new song called All I Want No One.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
This is crazy to me that they're like, it's stuff
that we're going to put out music.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, well, they said, we're just gonna have a different sound.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
They've been doing some covers as well, like of eight
and No Mounton and High Enough, all of those things. And
if you check out Brownstone dot com you can see
that they've got another album back again that is coming
out as well. But we still think about Brownstone and
I guess the quintessential hit, the one that everyone went well,
that's the song standing over this one from nineteen ninety four,
If you love Me Brownstone, because if you don't know,
(11:45):
now you know stays Azora and Charlie.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
We are lucky enough to be joined by someone very special, Honey.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
My Story of Love, Larlson Victory, and it goes to
all those plays. It's a brand new book from Honey
Hit and Miss Smiler with Suzanne mcfahn and she's in
here right now then that I want to quet or
had am. I thank you so much for coming in. Honey. Wow,
you really went there with this book. You were a
little shit, weren't you growing up.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
It's probably the best summary that I've heard from anyone.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Who I was like, Wow, you're challenging. You talk about
your own mental health when you started commentating for Sky
and reading comments, which is it's not a good thing,
especially because people pick up on things that you're actually
and self careous about. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I think when I first started, all the comments were
about my parents, you know, what I was wearing, what
I looked like, the makeup, all of the stuff that
I already had my own complexes about. So then to
see it being blown up all over social media, it
was like, oh far out like and it was frustrating
because no one was talking about the actual money that
I was doing, you know, and I was still learning
it that as well. But even now, even with the
(12:51):
book coming out, like you know, a lot of critics already,
and I think I mentioned in the book sometimes obviously
I stopped looking for it.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
But then my family go and take me minutes. Yeah, yeah, Yeahca.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's the thing is that this book, truly it goes
to all the places. I mean, I was cracking out
when I read that. Was it you and your friends
or you and your cousins stole your dad's tractor to
drive down to the alcohol store. I was like, that's
pretty funny right there.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, absolutely, go down the alcohol stal, grab a box,
carry it back, and we're hanging off there. You just
I don't know, how to drive the tractor, just to
clarify with my dad. And my dad's actually just discovering
this for the book. So there's parts of the book
I sent my dad to go over with. I sent
him that part, so he's learning all of this stuff
that he didn't know what I was up to as
as a teenager.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Well, I'm interested as to what it took for you
to decide to write this book because love, loss, and victory,
as I say, you really do go deep on all
of those things. So what did it take for you
to decide to write this book.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't think you ever really prepare how deep you
are going to go. And for a lot of it,
you know, a credit to Susan McFadden. Like, we we
spent a whole year working on this book, and a
lot of it was just conversation. So she, you know,
we sort of worked out, you know, what are some
of the key moments in my life, and then we
started to shape the story around that. But it was
the way she questioned and asked me different things that
(14:12):
forced me to remember, to force me I suppose refeel
some of those things that I probably squashed and actually
not thought about because it's like I want to.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Think about that. That was hard.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
You know, I talk about it being a healing journey,
but in order to heal, you actually had to go
through it again. And so for me that was that
was really really tough. And I remember that reading the
first draft of the book like whoa like man, This
is harsh, really harsh.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But like you said, in a journey of healing, because
when you can mention to know, ha ha ha, you
were a naughty you know, you're a bully, but there's
a reason for that, because there's some intergenerational mummay there's
things your dad was dealing with and how he turned
to alcohol maybe those kind of things. So getting that
for gate thing and getting that agreement, how is that
for you as a fan?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, it was challenging and it forced us to have
conversations that we never had as kids, as you know,
and when you have to go back and talk to
your parents about stuff that you you know, maybe went
through as a kid, you fall back into that child
like person. And it was like, I'm not having I'm
an adult having a conversation with my dad as an adult,
but straight away I fell back into being a kid,
(15:14):
Like oh's okay, Dad, they.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Didn't realize how you even felt at the time or
what you remembered. Because it's it's funny, like, you know,
their version of reality and what they can remember and
not remember. It's interesting because I find you know, some
of your most traumatic moments, everyone's most traumatic moments, especially
with their parents, they.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Don't remember because they were under the influence. Absolutely, So
it's like, you're so right.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
So when I talk about some of those tough times
with the domestic violence, you know, Dad was like, oh,
I never I never realized, you know. And even my
brother's in the same room when it's all happening, and
he's like, I remembered it when you said that. Yeah,
So it was healing for our whole fun note.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
There's just so many amazing things that we can and
should talk about. So we're going to play a quick
song and we're going to come back. Honey is not
going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Please stay right here. Yeah, we're here with Honey hit
hims Maline. You're awesome. But we're just saying before that
you've gone and to really personal things that have happened
to you and to your far no and giving us
all insights on how you can deal with things. Is
that what you wanted to do?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I think right throughout the book. I mean that that's
one moment in time. But there's so many challenges I
think that are faced as young honey, as sports honey,
it is commentator honey, is.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
All throughout life, wife honey, life honey.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I And so I think just knowing that life throws
you so many shitty times, and but they'se always hope,
You've always just got to keep.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Pushing through it. How do you feel about your life
when you look at this, because I go, wow, this
is an incredible life, a large line, and in halfway.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Through it, well it's now telling everybody that I'm forty plus. Yeah,
I'm proud, you know, and it's probably taken me a
long time to admit that.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
You know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
The biggest reason I didn't want to write the book
was because I was afraid of what.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
People would think.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
But actually I don't care, you know, like you know,
I don't regret what I've been through. I've gone through it.
I hope people can learn through it, learn from it. Sorry, Yeah,
I'm not ashamed anymore of that person. Funny story, I
actually was at the Farmer's market down and Kittykid it
all on the weekend buying a coffee and the guy
in the coffee shop said, honey, remember me from school
and I was like, oh, yeah, didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But anyway, he said, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
You and your brother owed your skateboard and I said,
we're at the skate ramp and you asked to borrow
my skateboard and you's broke it and you laughed and never.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Navigate with gosh. I was like, has he said that to.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Me because he's just read the book or is this
for real?
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We laughed about it.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I said, right, I'm going to buy ten coffees the
back for the skateboard.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
But that's been cool though, Like it's been cool for
a lot of my childhood friends my community to read
that I've kept it real. I haven't been fake about anything,
you know. Yeah, And it's so like I think a
lot of your experiences, even though they very specific to you,
people can relate to a lot of a lot of
what you went through growing up.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But maybe not the victory part.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, people see that, you know, that's what people see
as they see the star, the sports star, the commentator
that you know, But there's a really, really really huge
part of your life that they don't see. And that's
what this book shows is like literally, like you said,
life is throws shit at you all the time.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, you're You're so right.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I think people see our sports stars as these heroes
or heroines, but they don't understand the substance that isn't
behind them.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And everyone's got that story and I.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Really see you're having exactly and you know, a lot
of it is about grief. But I just hope that
it encourages other sports people just or other wa other Marti.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
To write their book and tell this story. And I
was literally just.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Having accorded with Cruise from Takadidi, you know, and he's like, oh,
I said you should do a book, bro, And he's like,
oh no, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Got a story. I was like, You've got an absolute story.
Everybody's got a story, and I want people to share that.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Like that's that's what we learn, people sharing their stories.
And we're as Mary, I think we really fuck them about.
You know, we have this I suppose we worry about
that whole tall poppy syndrome. And sometimes humility gets in
the way, but it doesn't have to. You know it's
actually people are going to learn from it. And all
the feedback that I've had from the book so far
(19:19):
has been there has been like thank you, thank you
for sharing your story so.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Well, they feel seen had all I thought that. You know,
there's there's healing in the words, and she's done an
amazing job. It's really easy to read, like good luck
trying to stop reading and so it's honey, this is
my story of love, loss and victory, guns and the
bookshop just go oh, she looks good. There go girl.
Then I do how to my thank You're ugly? It
(19:44):
was his name, wasn't Kendrick Lamas? Do you think that
people call him k No? They don't. I'm here to
tell you there are certain leaders of the alphabet that
are not useful as nicknames, and there are some that
do become nicknames. You know, lot of people. Their name
might be Teresa, it might be did I need that,
It might be Torran. They are known as t. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, I've got another one. D. What's d Who's d well?
D is a nickname that people use.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah for someone like is all of those David? So
I'm going to say these are the letters that are
helpful as nicknames, they just get shortened from your name B, D, E, G.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
H.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I've heard H surprisingly H for like Harrison, Yeah it's
not I think it is J. I call my friend
we needed J. Yeah, uh P like Patrina Patricia that
p Q funnily enough, like for Quentin. Yeah, I've heard
(20:50):
that before. I've heard that T as I say V
V names you don't expect it, but ye V. I
know she's V.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It's They all sound the same though, B T V, yes,
J J, but j's like an actual name case.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm just talking about helpful alphabet lessons.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, I'll tell you what they're not using. Are not
so weird like I have. Imagine if you said A,
can you pass me like? That doesn't sound right? See
also does not work. L. No one does that.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
L no. I know that's not a thing, and you're
not gonna go R nah. I wouldn't say S either.
I know no one calls me. They wouldn't. And you,
that's unhelpful sitting there. It's you and it means you.
One that I think is out of the bag and
(21:48):
unexpected coming in late just at the end of the
alphabet is X. People do get called X someone called
Xavier X. So does anyone want to fight me on that?
Because I think I've just found the helpful letters of
the alphabet to be a nickname, a short nickname, or
something you've got to think about.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I would imagine if you're having kids as well, because
you know, if you choose a name, we're easily it
could be a one letter nickname.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That could be what it ends up as.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I know, you know my god daughter she's Penelope, but
we call her p yep.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
My daughter her name is Kuda Walker and somehow she
gets the nickname kdub. Like said the dub for WK.
I like the kdub. Well, so yeah, if anyone reckons
I've got I've missed it out. I think the only
letters that you use as a nickname are the letters
just letters B, D, E, G, H, J, P, Q,
T V X. That's it. One's interested in A, No
(22:45):
one's interested in C, no one's interested in L or
U for instance.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Feel free to fight Stace. She's ready there, she's ready
A two double O Stace A Zorralie. I'm excited for
this one. And let's go back to the year nineteen
ninety when Claudia Mushen was sitting at her kitchen table
(23:11):
in Wellington and started writing a song. Little did this
teacher know that this song would be decades long of success.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
The song would have decades of success. It's none other then. Yeah,
So what year was that graandfast lunch? Nineteen ninety was
when she wrote the song.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yep, and it was inspired by her son Steve, who
absolutely loved fish and chips, always asking for them, even
asking for her to make them. They came from the family,
came from the UK to Wellington, so fish and chips.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Is quite big over there. It's big over here.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Too, So it was, you know, a household tradition for
their family and for a lot of other families here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Did you both sing it at school? Yes? Anna and
Yeah I still sung it at school, man, I just
missed it.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Well, they say, you know, if you're under the age
of forty, then you should know the song off by heart.
In fact, you should know all the songs from Kiwi
Kids Songs, which is you know what the song was
released on featuring.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Again this one? Yeah you know it again back in
the second Fday band Here Day.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So Accordia incredibly like I said she was a teacher
in Wellington. After writing the song at the kitchen table,
she went and then hummed it to another teacher who
helped put her put the song together. And it wasn't
recorded officially for the album and the cassette Kiwi Kid
(24:54):
Songs until nineteen ninety two. Then it was handed out
to all the schools in the more too, the cassette first,
then the CD once we are advanced in the technology,
but yes it is, and then they played it on
the ab equipment in the hall so everyone could sing along. Yeah,
(25:14):
make my lips. These days, Cordia is almost in her
eighties and she's too weak to even lift a pin
on her own.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
She's preparing to get ready to move into a care
home at the moment, which is always a bit of
a shame, but she said, hey.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I love my little life.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
And even the nurses in the care home and the
ones they help her at her house, they still get
a kicker out of singing fish and Chips to her,
you know, And she is the creator. So we remember you,
and we remember the time Claudia.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Kats fast ship chips. Yeah chips. The latest celebrity gos
from around the world waive of breakfast. Oh mcs O man.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Official, Rihanna, pray it's no longer the richest female and
music Okay, who's over taken her?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Take a guess? Oh oh hang on, no, no, no,
come on, Tada Swift. It must be new year? Plea
please please? What's crazy is there?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Taylor Swift actually only became a billionaire in October twenty
twenty three, so last year. But because of her Era's
tour and her pretty extensive music hadalog that adds to it. Yeah,
she earned six hundred million dollars from royalties and touring alone.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yep in the morning. Yeah, I was talking to my
cousin who went to one of her shows, one of
the first one on the RAS tour. There were eighty
thousand people in that stadium. It's crazy. So we're buying
twenty dollars margaritas. I mean, this is where all the
cash comes from. It does, it does?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
So her networth is now one point six billion dollars
Rihanna one point four. It sounds like it's close to
get but when you reach the billions, there's a two
hundred million dollar difference. Think of it like that two
hundred million dollar difference between the.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Two and Mayboy's doing fine anyway, what do you even
do with that kind of money? That was absolutely fine.
And now when it comes to well Piers Morgan, who
is problematic full stop. So he has his show Piers
Morgan Uncensored, and so he hosted a woman called Jaguar
right on his show, and she is a singer and
(27:30):
she's become a viral personality, and she just decided to
throw out some allegations about jay Z and Beyonce. She said,
for four years, I've been screaming not just Diddy, but
Diddy and jay Z are monsters. She also alleged numerous
victims of assault from who have been assaulted by jay
Z and Beyonce. And now, after being contacted by the
(27:52):
Carter's legal team who shut down those rumors, Piers Morgan
addressed that interview they.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Were not present to respond all attendants else but now
they have their lawyer's contact is to say that those
plans were totally falls and have no basis in fact,
and we therefore comply with a legal request to cut
them from the original interview.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Editing interviews is not something we.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Do lightly at a show called Uncensored, but like the
proverbial prize of fire and a crowded theater, there are
legal limits on us too. We apologize to Jay z Ambiance.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Oh as An, you better because you got nothing. Yeah,
I mean living.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Someone just come on your show and run their mouth.
It's really not good. I saw reckon the show is
getting sued. There's my guess.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, guess yeah, yeah, there's the only one's backing down
on that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
But we're still going to have to pay fine gas.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So you can see this maybe on a meme online.
It's very Facebook relevant, very Facebook right now. But there
was a moment when you're at school and probably a
Thursday afternoon, maybe Friday afternoon, and then you go into
class and all of a sudden, if the thing stops
and go what's the teacher doing? They go out and
come in again and they are pushing the TV on
(29:10):
a trolley. We're on baby, Yep, it's gonna be a
great day in class. We're watching something on TV. And
you usually do it near the end of term. We
did it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Sometimes do it at random, which I can't explain.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
I really just think the teacher had enough. They didn't
have enough teacher only days. That's what was happening then. Also,
I don't know if this is going to hit for you, Azrara,
because you are in your twenties. I don't know if
they still used it. But do you remember ohps, do
you know what they are? A predictor? Yeah? But do
you remember like when they had to.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Put the transparency too, Yeah, onto the light and then
it would bounce up onto the whiteboard.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah yeah, we had that. Oh cool? And did you
have those cool little felt markers you could write to
your own stuff on a transparency ohb transparency transparency and
make your own thing that could be trajected. I can't
remember doing that, but I remember standing in a certain
place and then our teacher would trace over us on
(30:16):
the whiteboard like that piece of paper up and then
that was.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Your face head of color. And the bad part is
I was side on. We were all side on, and
I must have moved slash I have a ski jump
nose and everyone laughed at my side profile, which ever since.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Then, I've been insecure about it. I'm not even kidding.
There was a year five at Harrisville Primary School. But
that's the thing that you remember, And then I just
had a flashback that to make the HB transparencies. These
have a paperbacking on them, and then they could type
in them put them an actual typewriter. That's so weird,
I know, And that's how they would make a nice
looking and professional looking OHP transparency. But then I thought
(30:56):
it was pretty magic once they got the pins, when
anyone could just write up and then you just because
you want to use the technology, you just start writing anything.
I wish I had something good to write here, but
I don't, so I'm just going to like making picture. See.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I wasn't never allowed to ride on ours. It was
only the teachers missing out.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I don't know. It just just pretty loose, you know.
So christ Chi, I got this new technology, go grab it.
Remember the smell of it. I remember because the HB
would heat up and it was semi burning.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And you'd also see the dust flying around between the lights.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Those are the dads as well.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Yeah. Of the days, Oh my gosh, A big app
is being sued.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I use the app every day, TikTok so. More than
a dozen states in the United States of America have
sued TikTok, accusing them of driving a mental health crisis
amongst teenagers. So it's a group of fourteen attorneys generals,
so that's really high level attorneys from across the country
(31:57):
alleging that TikTok uses addictive features to help children into
the app, and then it's intentionally misled the public about
the safety of using TikTok for so long. TikTok says
the lawsuit is disappointing and they think that it's inaccurate
and misleading. But they're already in a sort of law
(32:19):
battle against a ban in the US unless the Chinese
parent company agreed to a sail. So basically, the Americans
want TikTok to be based in America, you know, benefit them.
But then this is another issue around, say the TikTok
challenges and how it's been so dangerous. Kids have actually
(32:39):
died in accidents because they're trying to do the challenges
they're seeing on TikTok, those kind of things, And in
terms of the addictiveness, that's real.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Oh, it's definitely real. I think it's insane to me
that fourteen attorney generals are working on this, Like it
shows you they know something we don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That's what I think would be sort of system like because.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
There's no way, there's no way you do something like
that lightly.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Well, you could say, I mean Facebook and it's remen
pretty addictive too.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Oh yeah, I think all of the but I'm like,
why TikTok? Why are they so.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
The Chinese ownership is probably part of it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
There we go, conspiracy, I'm jumping on that.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Well, I'm telling you about.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That's definitely true. The law suits are happening. Stay so
seen when you did there? She invented a new word
sm eq social media emotional intelligence.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah, so you know. Emotional intelligence is when you can
kind of pick up on things that are happening that
not necessarily said, but you can, you know, and you
consider what other people are thinking and feeling, and then
if you play that to social media, then you can
sort of see more in between the lines of their post.
You've got high social media eq ll smick you, smick you.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And we've actually got a quiz because it's important to
know where you sit, Charlie. We realize he's the lowest
of the low. He's got the lowm EQ. I took
the tist to the quiz. I got the high sm EQ,
which I knew that, Like, I noticed when people aren't
on the grid. I noticed when people aren't you know,
I know what all those things mean, but do you
That's why we want you to take the quiz.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
So tix the word quiz to eight two.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Double O and you can find out what you get low,
medium or high, and please let us know what you get.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yes, yes, we definitely want to know. It's also up
at flavor dot Coda inns it. But that like the
easiest way to get it. Ticks quiz to eight to
double oh, and yeah, let us know. I think a
lot of people will do the quiz going well, I
already know that I'm high, and then some people if
you suspect you'd be low, then you should do it
to go Okay, what do they mean?
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Like?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
What would medium or higher be? Like I did get
one question wrong, which I was surprised about.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Us not wrong, it's just different. Yeah, I yeah, I chose.
I chose an answer that I regretted straight away. You
know when you I do that on the General Knowledge
ones of course and on the phone. We are very
lucky and we love her so much. Sky Sports broadcaster
(35:11):
Extraordinary Courtney Tidy.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Kate the bear Hock.
Speaker 8 (35:17):
We had to call a happy as always so Courtney.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
A couple of quick questions for you personally, as a
you know, sports broadcaster, I find that you don't talk
much about cricket.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (35:33):
In saying that that is true? Yeah, so then can
I correctly assume that you should be getting a break
round about now since most sports, you know, they're wrapping up,
you know all they're close to it.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, yes, you are right.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
We're starting to wind out a little bit with all
the sports that I cover, but we still have plenty
of Silver Ferns and the Key rugby league coming up.
So but I am getting a little bit more quiet.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Which is yeah, well you deserve it. And what about
the Black fern camp? What can you tell us about
where they're at?
Speaker 8 (36:07):
Yeah, look, they are over seas at the moment on
their tournament in Canada. It hasn't been the great campaign
for our Black Ferns. They take on France this Sunday,
which we can all watch live because it's such a
good time at eleven forty five am on Sky Sport
one and free to on Sky Open if you don't
have Sky. But unfortunately they did lose their first two
games to Ireland and England. So this is a really
(36:31):
they can't win the tournament anymore, but this is a
mustimon against France. They're playing for pride, they're playing for mother.
They want to get up for this one because this
is their really their last overseas challenge before they head
to Aloa and they've got the Rugby World Cup coming
up there.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yeah yeah, and people have such big expectations on the
Black Fans day, so let's watch them and support them, right.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
Absolutely, get behind our way, Paula. And the thing is
they playing good football. They can score a lot of points.
That scored thirty one points in their last match. Unfortunately
England scored more. So for me, it's just defensively. They
just need to sign it up a bit more on
defense and get their defensive rig rights. But if you
love watching rugby games where a lot of points are good,
(37:14):
watch our because they know how to score beautiful trans
But for me, it's just on the back end of
that defensively stopping those trips.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
There's still need ball. I remember you saying that.
Speaker 8 (37:24):
Yeah, there's still Silver Fans coming up playing against Australia
in the Constellation Cup. So we have two games over
here coming up in two weeks we've got our kiwis
for the Rugby League. Our and our par will be
playing Australia and Up in the next two weeks as well.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
I saw that you went to the launch. I'm just
gonna check in here of Dan Carter's fragrance and it
looked very fancy and tell us how it smells. How
would you describe it?
Speaker 8 (37:48):
I would say it's a very nice fresh this summer
and it's one of those ones like I quite like
where where you can wear I guess minsense as a
w it's really nice, like i'd have it for a
perfume for myself. It was really nice presdent up this summer.
It was a great event. He's such a good advocate
(38:10):
for men and women's sports, so it was great to
get along and support him now that he is retired
and just starting that we're not starting, but continuing with
his career outside of sports.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
No, yeah, that's the way. And thank you for just
covering all the basis for us as you always do,
Courtney thirty, reminding us what we can watch on Sky
Sport this weekend.
Speaker 8 (38:30):
Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What do we think Stace, is Charlie going to be
back for tomorrow, for Friday.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Is I think he will, and I think we need
to look at how challenging this challenge is, and maybe
it's still challenging. I would love to see.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
The weird thing is is there he's paying for a
nutrition plan, but this guy goes pretty rogue.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Man. I think he's taken extra one of those islexatives
with laxative elements in them. So okay, listen, I'm not
a doctor. I'm just saying, well.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
That's the thing is that you can take some sort
of supplements for digestive, so you've got to be a
little bit careful. And we're obviously not professionals, but.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Saying because I feel like she'll know. His wife will know.
I bet you she's been saying the same things we've
been saying.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
This is I always said to him, like, you're forty
years old, man, you should know better than to like
not know what to eat and stuff. But we will
be very happy to have him back. Hopefully it's not
a bug, because then we'll have it. Since he came
in out, I.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Think we find are made of iron.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Oh, mister Charlie, hopefully you'll be tomorrow. You should take
it out of podcast on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's just hilarious.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
We kind of got in trouble as well and had
to do an apology podcast. You can check that out
by texting to double O again. We're really sorry, Penny,
We love you.
