Speaker 1 (00:06):
This is an iHeartRadio New Zealand podcast, Jeez.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Back just out Pain Today, Money for Nothing in shift
of free rate Pain to Talk the Heart and former
sparring partner Matt What a lot of money for nothing
back on Radio hot Ah.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Well, if that intro doesn't get you going, I don't
know it does.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That doesn't put lead in your pencil, Lee Hard, I'm
not sure what.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
What I'll tell you what, Matt. I'll tell you what
I loved about Italia and the listeners. Of course more
importantly that we've got a great show lined up. But
I don't know if we do well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I mean, it's Friday, three o'clock. Who the hell has
any sort of work ethic at three o'clock on a
Friday afternoon. I don't care that it's a one hour
show once a week. The fact is that by nature,
you should be knocking off and having a beer at
three o'clock on a Friday, and the other.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Of people that would be listening to the show right now.
So you're saying lazy bastards.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, exactly, So that's but I think that's the you
sort of want to take your energy level, your tone,
your ethic be.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Wasted on these people because it's so damn lazy that
taking this time off already? Can they be bother listening
to radioho of this quality?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, well I kind of assumed that that's who's listening,
so we might as well be that lazy as well.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, well it's working for us anyway. Ratings are through
the roof Donald Trump saying that.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Give us a text three four eight three. What's the
weirdest thing you've woken up to?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Got a funny story about VG soon.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And last night Lee I mentioned it earlier, that story.
That's very good. Actually, that's perfect tone if we're if
we're drilling down into it. Last night woke up at
about one I think it was one thirty eight am,
and firously it was the four year old bowling and
kicking the door and then saying, why is you know,
water in my room? So I had to get up
like a butler and give them a glass of water.
But then my my now wife woke up and she
(02:03):
went to the bathroom and I thought she was going
to do wheeze yeah, And then she came back and
lifted my arm up and she brought a roll on
deodorant out and started rolling deodorant into my arms at
one thirty eight am, which I thought it was a
very bizarre way.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Stage you woke up? Was it? That is?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That is the stage?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I already rolling it under your arm?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
She was already rolled. It was non consensual rolling of
deodorant under my arms with a roll on Rick's owner,
which I thought was a very bizarre way to wake up.
But I'd imagine a lot of people have woken up
in some various ways.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
We'll find out from the text messages. But that does
remind me of a story myself actually a couple of
years ago now, I think because of my old house.
I remember I rolled over and I woke up in
the middle of the night, and similar to that story,
Actually I had a deodorant under start half up my
arse when I woke up, you know what I mean.
So that was a weird thing to wake come right.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I suppose that's why they because he rolled onto it,
that's why they call it roll on.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, maybe, but it was as an aerosol the odorant,
you know, But god knows how I got that.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Wow, four eight three. If you can beat that, it's not.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
A competition, but you've got If you've got a similar
story or anything else. Maybe someone weird standing in your room,
or maybe your Santa was there at Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Who knows, certainly not hope not putting things up your
the strangest things you've woken up to. I remember, actually
one time at the Eco Lodge, you and I were there,
possibly doing a podcast, possibly before the podcast time definite.
Actually it must have been the middle of wind.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I don't have thought of podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Back then, no, no, but it must have been the
middle of winter because we were up there. I think
we had a couple of beers perhaps, and you've got
a fireplace there, yep, And it was nice and cold,
and I found the biggest log that your had and
I went to chuck it in the fireplace, and unfortunately
it was just a bit too big for the for
the fireplace. So we sort of had the theory that
if we just let it burn away at that end,
(03:54):
and then once it burns that and we can push
it in a little bit further.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean the old burn and feed method.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Burn and feed method, it works for most things, but
unfortunately it's towards the end of the evening where we
were getting a little bit tired, and I think that
we both fell as. I fell asleep in the spear
m I think you were in your room, And then
I woke up in that the eco loge's not it's
not the biggest place, so it's quite easy for it
to fill up with smoke. And I went out and
(04:19):
there was smoke. He opened up all the doors and
then saw, I think you're on the couch actually, and
I had to double shit. You were breathing and hadn't
sort of suffocated you because unfortunately we forgot to push
it all the way in and had just sort of
rolled out, and.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
There was a lot of smoke. And actually that wasn't
a normal log, oh there. That was a sort of
a I suppose you call it sort of a plastic
resins sort of ornamental kind of log. It wasn't supposed
to be in the par at all. Then you see
the birds stuck on it as like an hawk stuck
on it like it was a log, and you sort
of fed it in there. But look what the hay.
You gotta be careful of that kind of thing. When
I've done the same with the roast before you put
(04:50):
a roast in an oven and you know, put it
on high because it's frozen and you're on a sort
of cook it fast wake up to the you know,
the apartment full of smoke. So a lot of ads
done on that sort of stuff, so be careful. A
few texts coming in there as well from.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, because we were talking about the strangest things that
you've woken up to, because yeah, we were well kind
of got onto, got derailed a little bit because I
was getting rolled. I woke up to my wife putting
roll on under my ERTs and you talked about when
you rolled on to some dooda runs and then that
sort of got stuck up your up your ass, and
then it sort of derailed things, and people were texting
and things that they've themselves have stuck up there.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, it's more often too. We didn't ask what strange
things have you shoved up your ass? We asked what
strange things have you woken up to in the middle
of the night, Like maybe there's a puppy gift beside
you on the bed. Because I do have a mate
who made a mind call down Kane Robinson, he won't
mind me saying this, and his girlfriend gave him a
little kitten, you know, before she went overseas and you know,
(05:45):
only he's kind of broken hart E rent your left.
But anyway, he was sleeping with them for the kitten
each night in bed and he woke up the morn
he couldn't find it. And then he got up, had
a bed and he sort of felt like sort of
wet patch on his back and looked around and of
course in the mirror, and there was the the the kitten,
of course, But that was a weird, maybe weird direction
(06:08):
go on this.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Well, I thought that things being stuck up people's it
was a weird direction.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't want it to go there. Let's
just change the attack then.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And you just got back from Fiji.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yeah, I was over there sort of doing a bit
of family, bit of work. Really, yeah, you know, got
to sort of claim it. I suppose it was working.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
What are you find then under.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Miscellaneous work research that kind of thing. But I was
over there with family, my daughter and a couple of
friends quite time actually, But it's always work. But I'm
a buve room to mate over there. And you've been
there recally. Good thing that Fiji especially, you know, you'd
like to get to the islands and stuff as well.
But look, you know the sort of the hotel complexes
and dinner I you haven't been. It's pretty good, especially
(06:48):
if you've got young kids wind are growing up now
you've got young kids. Ye, perfect for that. Because you've
got the kids club. You can put them in there,
the kids for a few hours. Yes, it's a few
hours in the morning, few hours in the afternoon. You
can go and do stuff. You can go to an island.
Perhaps you can maybe have a cocktails, go to happy
hout that kind of thing. Is that what you did kids?
It is.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, you've got kids club and you got you can
get babysitters at nighttime once you put them down, so
you don't have to do the whole metal of McCann situation.
It's really good.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's perfect well, exactly right, and that's so good with kids.
I's just I just they've got a real way about
them that their Fijians. They certainly do. And I suppose
I've got a mate bumped into over there. He was
over there, was going through a bit of a bit
of a hard time. He's with his family. But let's
just so you got pretty Hammond and he sort of
took advantage of a lot of the hap hours, you know,
(07:35):
pretty happy hour. That's kind of stuff here. He was
kind of on it, if you know what I mean,
because happy yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep. And what
ended up happening to him this is a good use
of of of your holiday amenities, I suppose on services.
They ended up putting him into the kids club instead
of the kids, so that the mom would take the
kids out and they'll do activities and fun stuff. And
(07:58):
he was so hammered that they just put him in
the kids club with all the other sort of three
or four year olds, and he would sort of roll
around in there and color and stuff and makes hand
castles up here in sort of comb in most of
the time. Then they pack him up the end of
the day.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's quite smart, really, So they just sort of put
him in the recovery position and yep, maybe put a
bucket next to us here, bucket of beers. Yeah, they
gave him.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
They gave him like a bucket of coronas in with
ice bucket, you know, five for fifty five bucks. Not
a bad deal. And they'll just set him in the
corner with the other kids. The other kids don't mind
him because they just think he's on the same level.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And I suppose because it's kid's club. There's no sword, fear, no.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Nothing, you know. And they pick him up at the
end of the day. He's coming around and they say
how's your day. He goes, yeah great, he doesn't really know.
And it's just good value for money and it doesn't
wreck your holiday have some drunk guy falling around the place.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It's brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah. Well that said, I'll tell you what. But the
fun doesn't end right there, because, of course, tonight we've
got the Black Camps hopefully playing cricket. I'm down on
tour on I'll be commentating that with the a c
c Boys. Hopefully the weather clears up a bit. Yeah,
we get a good start and then get forty overs.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Out of that match, right, yes, yeah, both both false because.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You start shortening a T twin, it starts to turn
into a bit of a lottery.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
It's a bit boring when it's a ten ten doesn't
it's a bit it's a bit rushed. And also I
think there's another T twenty tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, all the same one. Yeah yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Then the bloody rugby I'm doing the No Wonder Mike
no One of Mike Lane asked me to do it.
It starts at Bloody ten forty five pm on a
Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Because I've had savings and it's in Western Australian.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah. Just an outrageous comedy of eras there so if
you still awake after tomorrow night. So we're going to
be calling the all Black Swissus the Wallabies life from
Bloody Perfect.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's all going. I think out the Big Shrive of
course coming up. I think they've got to make a
special interview coming up with someone that's a big star.
But I'll let them, you know, I don't want to
blow their what's the word for.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm interested to see what the next word is. What
you're going to blow them off?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So to speak?
