About The Hosts:

Tayla Montoya is an ex-cheerleader, and current radio producer for Jono and Ben on The Hits. Her roots are from a large Italian Australian family, with all the passion and fire that comes with that.

Most importantly, she is like that friend at the BBQ that is constantly surprising the group with a new questionable take,  internet-based obsession or just something to annoy her husband.

Marcelo Montoya is a Fijian Australian professional rugby league player and brings insight into what it actually means to be a professional sportsman. He is a little bit bogan, and a whole lot of a perfectionist. He strives for everything in his life to be centered and deliberate so he can perform at the highest level, while contending with his wife’s need to try and throw him off balance.

I'm sure in the last twenty six years, the question
has come up. I asked my dad why his family
moved to Australia.

He was asked a lot of questions.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, because I'm intrigued, and also I've actually never got
a straight in and say out of my granddad why

But it only is pretty fucking good, So dodge stuff there.
My mom likes to say. My mom likes to say
that both my dad and my granddad have millions of

(05:34):
kids out there unaccounted for. I'd like to play the film.
And she says, one of these days, inch, that's my
dad's name, age, one of your sons or daughters is
going to knock on our door and say Dad. And
I'm not putting up with that shit. So I'm not
sure what she's insinuating there a bit of infidelity, but hey,

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
So, do you remember the time? When do you remember
the time? MJ? Is that MJ cute? When I'm getting
a dead leg? Sorry, Louis, it's not all about you.
Right now, mister anal Glenn boy, it would have been
like a year inter us dating officially, don't give him

(06:29):
the finger, a year into us dating officially. And Mum
and dad were out and you were at my house
and no one was home. Luke, my oldest brother, he
was also out out at.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
The races, went somewhere.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
He is at the races in his suit. Yeah, and
we were in the back room watching a movie. And
as you do when you're that young and in love,
movie turns into more of an affliction your moment. Yeah,
read my mind, and the back room to paint a
picture to everyone, because you run a photo, you'd want

(07:10):
a picture of these. The TV's on the wall, couch
up against the up against the wall as well, opposite wall.
Huge window. Window doesn't go to anywhere, just the backyard,
garage door and the garage door. So no one's homes,
no one's going to see anything.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Not the actual garage door, but the door to get
into the garage.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
So yeah, only if you would to drive in the
garage and you park your car and you walk out
of the garage door, you would see a display that's
going on in the in the back room. And so
we were Netflix and chilling, all sorts of Netflix and
chilled positions. This was back when you were adventurous. I'd say,

(07:56):
you know you anymore. You were a young twenty year
old full of test toss to roone, still trying to
impress me. I guess you know, still the deal. So
you know, I was up on the count down, on
the count leg up, sup. You know it's good back then,

(08:25):
so good now? No, it's pretty textbookshit now.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's more about time now when you've been married, we've
been together ten years, nine years. This year, you just
get in, get out. It's more about the ending, get
the job done. Yeah, no, it's not time to look
each other in the arm. Literally, I couldn't stand looking
into your eyes. Why I'm the lights off gal? Now,
you know back then, and I mentioned the lights were

(08:50):
fucking on back then because I liked my body back then. AnyWho.
So yeah, it's very vulnerable position. It's very vulnerable position.
And I know you will probably like seven minutes into
the full act, and again back then it would have
been probably going for half an hour.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
You feel like, yeah, I feel like you are.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
And I remember being I was standing on top of
the count and you were you were standing on the
floor so out to what would you say, like two
body parts were equal to each other to make it work.
And I remember hearing the garage door open and making

(09:38):
direct fucking eye contact with my brother. Right, yeah, you
did to actually, because you were looking the same direction.
And I literally fucking died and I fell to the
floor and I was like, oh my god, oh my god,
oh my god. I had a T shirt in between
my legs and I quickly put that on, I know, disgusting.

(10:02):
And we see on the couch.

Speaker 2 (10:03):

rock solid sitting there. Can he see that?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
And he walks in he goes, you just have exect?

he dropped me off to Cronola, yeah, because he.

Speaker 2 (10:27):

Speaker 3 (10:31):
I'll drop you off. You don't say anything to your.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Parents, literally, and because like even though we were of
age and boyfriend and girlfriend, that's not fucking nice to
tell your parents obviously. Yeah, and so he goes and
gets changed me and you were like, fuck disgusting, but
dodged a bullet, you know, It's all good. Stays in
the fans and we give him a lift to croneal
All done, All done. Then the next morning, Mom and

(10:56):
Dad come home and we're all sitting at breakfast and
they went for a walker. Yeah, and then for a walk,
and we're all chilling at the kitchen table and I
was like, didn't even remember it really, because I was like, whatever,
it's in the back of my mind. And out of nowhere,
Luke goes sue in's my parents, saying.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
As soon as he said their name, I knew, did you?
I knew? I felt sick. Yeah, I felt sick, and
I just went here we go.

He has guess what I seen Tad mastering last night
and my dad being so innocent, and I'm like, no,
I did they go, Oh what what were you guys
talked to you last night? And guess they were fucking in
the back room. And then I was like, I remember
my dad dropped his coloring us. Oh, for fuck's sake, Luke,
And then you literally just went red and quiet, and

(11:41):
then my mom, out of nowhere, goes well at lengst
someone in this house is getting something, and that is
fucking fairal.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
That stories it never gets old. But you know what
never gets old. You never know what's going to come
out of your brother's.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Mouth when he speaks.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's terrifying when he.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Says something, you just go, you just sit down and
go what's going to come out of his mouth?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Now, Yeah, it's terrifying.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
But that story, and then after that I realized with
your family everything was open.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, yep, that's it, Like everything.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Was just out there, and I was like, that's not normal.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Nothing's off guards Like we go the toilet with the
door open. Dad would fucking be naked in the bathroom
and not shut the door. And I'll walk up the
stairs and see his ass right back, and there you
see my dad's ask plenty.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Of plenty of times.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, nice as he wishes. Actually, no, he's got a
swimmers ask what's that meaning he swum his whole life. Yes,
they like have a nice shaped body where big shoulders, small,
small waist, small ass. Really, it's what Sue says. At least, yeah, she.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Thinks she's a gymnast. She thinks she's a soccer player.
She thinks she knows the weather. That's one thing about
your parents that I love. Over their house, they know
one suddenly as the breeze comes in on that's that southerly.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Year.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Anything to avoid not turning the aircorn on, and they
will go to the fucking heights to not turn the.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Ear thirty degree day. They've looked up when the breeze
is coming in.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Literally although suddenly he's going to hit my cello in
about two hours, so we can hold off. We can
hold out. Do you remember when you did start sleeping
over at our house and there were there's some fucking
hot days in Sydney forty degrees and overnight it is
just hell. And I remember you going to my mom
with dad your suit edge. I beg you, I will
pay here. It's you Bill, Just please turn the fucking

(13:38):
air off. And they look at each other, go it's
not that bad, is it. Have you got the window open?

Speaker 4 (13:46):
And then like as rich coming from me because when
I was young, we never had acorn in in our house.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, when you're training, it's like, man, you need it.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, but this is the perfect difference between our family
and your family, right my feeling your family your family
like very working class, especially like you growing up. Your
mom worked three fucking jobs to put your guys in school,
give you the best life ever. But you wouldn't know that.

(14:15):
You went like you wouldn't know if you were struggling
or anything, because your mom made sure you guys always
had a lot of food, always brought you the Nike
shoes you wanted, right, she just would shut up and
work the extra shit no econ and home brand to
tell her, as you say all the time, my fucking
family mate, Like God knows the financial strains they had,

(14:40):
but it was like we were fucking poor, living paycheck
to paycheck on struggle Street. I remember when bananas there
was a cyclone in Queensland, so bananas were really fucking expensive.
My dad's said, this is your last banana. We're not
having these for months. I said, well, why come we
up bananas?

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Dates?

Speaker 1 (14:58):
No air con read time, there's a power switch off.
Straight away, I'd go to use the microwave. What's a dad,
the microphone microwaves broke it. No, I've just turned it
off with the powerboy and turn it back off. But
I need this every fucking hour, so I'm turning it
off from the switch.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a clever way to save money.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
My mom, you used to do that as all.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
However, I think like when you get to an age
and you're working as all. But in saying that as well,
you never really paid any board at home.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Bullshit. I paid board as soon as I got my
first full, first full time job.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
In your in your parents' defense, right in their defense.
And I don't want to load ball you here, but
I don't care. Your board was fifty bucks a month.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
You're fucking lying. It was fifty dollars a fortnight.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It wasn't a month.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
It was a fortnight, hundred dollars a month. So I
remember saying, fuck, this is gonna say it.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
It was a month, fifty dollars a month, and I
can run it back with your mother. Your board, well,
mane At some stays, I was paid the electricity bills
sometimes good.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
So you should. You could have been playing PlayStation.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
This is the matter. You would have been. You would
have been in the bathroom music in the power. You
would have been downstairs with the you're straight and all
that kind of stuff. So mate, do you bring yourself
right back down?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Please?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Fuck you? Fuck you and your ship I think coming
from a lecture, it's the truth. We had to Did
you have Fox Steel growing up, which is like Sky, Yes,
yeah you did.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
We had to beg and beg and I remember we
only Dad said you will only get the basic channels.
And I remember one time Fox still fucked up and
we out of nowhere got Disney and it was like Christmas.
I remember seeing like Sweet Life of Zack and Cody.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Sometimes I give you those you'd like to give you
a deal and scot all of these times, we'll.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Give you this channel.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Oh okay, because I remember one time Dad got the
bill and Fox still had gone up like two dollars,
and he rang them and so I'm fucking canceling. I'm cancing.
And then they yeah, because you just threatens them. And
then they go, okay, Angel, we'll put you back on
the plane you were on and we'll well that will
keep your plan and we won't cancel on here. Yeah

(17:10):
for two dollars.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Well that's yeah, that's why they live really comfortably now
because all those sacrifice struggle.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Every day they live like they're struggling. You know what,
they're saving up for.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
The power bills, the Fox Tell bills, that's why they
can put their feet up here and they're not work
every day, so it's a credit to them.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Why don't you go and marry them?

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Thank you, I'll pop in here and there though.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
You're nice, yep, yep nice. Yeah. I'm just thinking. All
this chat has got me thinking about the first time
you met my family. What were your first impressions?

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Beautiful people?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Not bushit?

Speaker 2 (17:59):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (18:00):
What shit? I remember we were dating for like six
months and then you finally asked me to be your
girlfriend on New Year's Eve in the most anti comedic way.
May just say, I picked you up from the air
box you had just lead it from Fiji as New
Year's Evil, stuck in traffic on the M four because

(18:20):
we will be going out paramatta. Yeah, and you go, oh,
do you want to be my girlfriend? Is that? Yeah?
You said that? And I was like, oh, well that
was a bit shit. You when you and me, fucking dude,
I was like, well, there he goes the romance. And
then I remember saying to you, where the fox your luggage?
You've just been away for three weeks and I just
left it all there. That's how it works, So you

(18:42):
leave everything there, everything except the clothes that you wear. Yeah,
fair enough.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
So you go, you go there for a full bag,
all your clothes, and then you come back. You leave
everything there because all your cousins, all my cousins took everything.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah. No, wonder we haven't been back there because ain't
doing that very strategic.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
If we go there? Yeah, you'll be coming back with nothing.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, well, because yeah, it's so different over there, Like
how much is protein powder over there?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
I remember that a stat reading a stat of protein
powder in Fiji? Or maybe when did you see this show? No?
But I remember seeing it was like like four hundred
dollars or something for protein powder? Yeah? Am I talking
absolute shit?

Speaker 2 (19:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, I must speak because if you're looking shock.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
The only person I would have heard that promise you,
I shocked about what you're looking at us?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
That's about protein powder in Fiji.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
No, it must have come up on my for you
page or something. Oh, can I just say.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
It's for you?

Speaker 1 (19:38):

Speaker 3 (20:06):

how they get you hooked.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
It's the biggest, most biggest drug addictions pandemic of its O.

on your phone.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's your quality time.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
But that's what I'm saying, and that's what social media
gets your hooked on everything.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
We don't need to do quality time anymore. We have
this one hour a week that's more than enough.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
That is absolutely amazing. But yeah, when when you first
came over after six months of waiting, asking me out,
and I remember your message to me and your car
saying hey them out the front, and I was like, oh, well,
if we're dating now, like officially, you need to come
inside and meet my mom and dad. And you were like,
oh no, I'm going to just have a sleep in

(20:47):
my car till you're ready to come out. I was like,
get the fucking the house of all my mom comes
out and bashes the fuck out of here. And I
remember you walked in and my parents were watching the Sopranos.
I don't know if that was like a fucking a thing,
like a threat to send you and then yeah, the
rest is history.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, they were nice people though.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, but when when I walked in, what did she say?
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (21:11):
We're going on to the movies. Yeah, that's all we
used to do back then, movies and dinner, such innocent times.
Now we just fight do Yeah? When always you always
decided to criticize.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
What's honest feedback and shut the fuck up.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
I don't care about your honesty back, so I'll say
that to me. I'm not one of your fucking colleagues.
I don't want to hear on his feedback.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
That's the way it should be.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Okay, Well, you know what, Honestly, that's how I held
through relationship.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Last honest feedback.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Hit the now you're so blunt, and hit the nail
on the head right then and there.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
No one holds onto.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
It, there's no baggage, there's no no one bottles anything up.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
You empty it then and there and it's done.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I would love to one day. Compare how you guys
talk to each other at training to the way we
talk to each other in a corporate setting. Why, honest
feedback is far and wide to come by. Mate, What
do you mean in a corporate setting? Regardless of what
job you're read?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Say it in a way that I understand.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Everyone beats around.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
The bush, not in out mate.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, yours just quite savage.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Well, the thing about us is it's a high pressure environment.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
So is radio.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Yeah, well then.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Pressure, No, no one's listening.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
No difference between Yeah, I think a difference between radio
you guys.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, but people listen as well.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah. I've been sprayed so many times on the radio.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Yeah, but I feel like when you got to sign
a contract, like if you're on breakfast radio or that's
your contract, right yep, for us, you sign the contract,
but you still got to fulfill that just a player.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Well, it's like that. It's like that, Oh do you
mean like you could get dropped.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
And then if you're breakfast radio, they don't go no
this week, you're going to go on afternoon radio.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah. True, that's a good point, but they might not
get their contract nude in three years. But yeah, at
least I've got that.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Three years, they've got three years.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
A lot can happen in three years with us, as
soon as you know, if the coach doesn't want you
to play, or I think you're not about bad form.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Gone, And that's where that honest feedback comes into play.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Hey, it has to be. And that's why I bring
it home. I think it's important.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I don't think you should bring it home.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
I think it's important.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Guess what this is for life? Baby, ain't nobody here
getting relegated.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeah, but still, well, sometimes I'm relegated to the doghouse always.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
You're about to after this too. Have you ever given
me honest feedback and I've ever taken it on board?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I don't know, Yeah you have.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
It doesn't sound like me. I don't do well with
you don't initially leadership. That's not toxic leaders I don't
do well if you're not honest. No, I believe in honesty.
I don't like being told what to do, how to act,
what to think what. Yeah, every single job I've had
I did not respond well to a boss. And that's

(24:10):
why I'm hoping this fucking podcast goes somewhere because there
ain't not many jobs left there for me out there.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
I think you'd respond to a boss that was honest
with you.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
I appreciate my current boss at the Hitts, but again,
radio is such a different. I used to work at
the airport. I had a micro manager and we had
some words. Yeah, I don't I don't do well with
stuff like that. Yeah, that's why when you tell me
what to do, I rebel.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah yep.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
So you tell me to flush the toilet, I won't
flush it out of spite.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
That's what's different even for me too.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Like I was talking to Leon, Leon's my best mate
the other day and he's going through a job change,
and he was asking me for advice, and I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Bro, I fuck are you doing that? Should call me.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
I've never had to work like in a I mean,
I know how to go for an interview for a
job because I've always I'm not always but and not
saying it to be an asshole, like I worked hard
to get where I am. But in saying that, it's
I think, like I don't have to get to a
job interview.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I've always played. I played in o RL.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
But then when you are off, when you were off contract,
you had to go for an interview. Yeah, yeah, so
that's an interview.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yeah, but it's different, right because I've got a manager
that that negotiates, yeah, the stipulations of my contract money.
The bad guy where he was, you know, like he's
he's trying to negotiate his own money.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
How much is he going to be?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
How much?

Speaker 4 (25:38):
I ask you, how much is he going to ask for?
And I'm like, bro, that's that's scary.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's hard.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, that's hard to do because you're your own like,
you know, like you got to go in there, brave
hard and say no, I want this much.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
You know where I got someone that does that for me,
you know.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
So that's yeah. So I'm grateful to be to you know,
to do what I do. But it's a lot different.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Very insightful, Mars. It's nice to see this maturity come
out of you. Thanks for that, Tay, speaking of your child,
speaking of your work. You're often away a lot of
the time, which leaves me by myself at home with
my best friend Louis. Louis is sitting on my lap
right now. He is a miniature dash hound. He's a
beautiful what color would you say this is red brownish

(26:28):
ree asshold brown nothing. He is a bigger bitch than
I am. So you've been away for the weekend, right,
so I've been just having to cook for myself, which,
may I say, is fucking amazing. My favorite part of
you leaving this house every time is that I don't

(26:48):
have to cook you three course meals. And on Saturday night,
I opted for just some plain noodles with prawns and dumplings. Yes,
quite a nice meal, I thought, and I had, I
had done all the cooking right, and I thought, because
dumplings they're easy. I just bought the ones in the

(27:10):
packet and it said, oh for a tip.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
That's not cooking.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Then I didn't say I made them from scratch, claiming to,
and I don't make the noodles from scratch either, just
all packet food. AnyWho, what you're dooker? Can you explain
what douka.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Means in what like?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Thank you nice? To clear that up for the audience,
because not everyone speaks Fiji. And so I a tip
on the packet said to make it really nice and crispy.
Boil them like steam, the dumplings in the fry pan

(27:47):
over a lid, then take the lid off and then
pan fry them in oil. And I was like, that
sounds amazing, you know, two birds with one stone. So
I've I've steamed them and I've gone all this nice
and squishy, I'll take the lid off off and pan
fry them and then that was it. I put them
in a plate. You happened to call me, you face

(28:08):
tied me, had a lovely chat for how long would
you say? That was on Saturday night?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
And now a few times?

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah you did, you did?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
So I can't remember, well the long one, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Forty minutes minimum. So, yeah, I've enjoyed that chat with you. Yeah,
we've We've gotten off the phone and I've looked around
the house and gone, why is the house filled with smoke?
And I'm looking everywhere thinking what's happened? What's on fire?

(28:39):
Look at Louis, Luis passed out from smoke. And I've
gone to the stove. What do you reckon's happened?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
You left the stove on?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, with the fry pans still on top of the stove.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, and what with the dumplings in there?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
No, I had eaten the dumplings.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
So you just left it on. Yeah, and the pen
was cooking.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah. So you know there's a nice frying pans. You
spent a lot of money on just one of them's
completely fucking right off. Yeah, I've got it downstairs. I've
been hiding it from you. So she got home. Yeah, sorry,
I know. And it's charcoal black now and I've tried
to scrub. I tried to scrub so hard. Should I
go get it? Yeah, okay, I'll be back. You just

(29:25):
keep the audience company. I'll be two seconds.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Oh and you know what the funny thing about that
is she sprayed me for going and spending all that
money on buying them. Yeah, she got upset at me.
Oh well, you're spending this much money on buying it
and then bang she fox it. You can show me
because you know what it could be. It could be
completely broken or could just be Fijian broken.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah. Like remember I broke the rice cooker.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
You break that as well.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I told you I left it on. Sorry, I'm out
of breath. I left the rice cooker on the stove
and the stove was on it. It melted through the
whole bottom. That's why we haven't had rice in ages anyhow. Gone,
it's done. It's done. It's completely broken. There's the fry bed.

(30:16):
So yeah, I tried scrubbing that one.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Come out that looks like a big black hole.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah. So is that Fiji and broken or is that broken? Broken?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
It's broken. I'm not using it, Taylor.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
I know so, But like, don't facetimey during dinner.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
No, no, you can't know you do. You can't blame you look.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Good at the time and go okay in Brisbane it's
what four, so it's six in New Zealand. I'm not
going to call her because I know she's eating.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
You can't blame me for this, because you know you
got to be responsible when I'm away. Yes, dad, No, no,
it's not even about dad. You know you got to
be responsible. Like that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
That's an expense fro.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
And this is the lesson. Don't buy stupid fucking expensive
shiitse I'm just going to break it.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
No, we needed those because those can go in the oven.
That's why we bought those ones. That's why I spend
that money.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
You know what I think the lesson in this is
I think I should give my chef hat to you
and you should cook me. Did it from now, because
since you're so perfect and you won't ruin everything, and
you can cook rice and a rice cooker, and you
know how to cook fucking all these luxes and curries
that I've never tasted my fucking life. All you can
do is lamb on the barbecue that is not.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Cooking, which is fair, that's cooking, it's not you know,
maybe you're right, Maybe I do, Maybe I do cook
those things.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, bring your mom up, since she's an amazing cook,
and get her to teach you.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
The one thing I'll know if I do cook, I
won't burn the frying pan.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
And see, you talk a big game for someone that's
never fucking done it before.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
I guess I won't break my rice cooker either.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Really well, you love to buy a new one. First,
it's gone, she's done. I threw it out when you
went home. It it was breaken. We could we could
kill ourselves if I kept using it from Brisbane. And
I guess what they sell them in New Zealand too.
You know you can make rice on it. You don't
need a rice cooking you make rice.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
On a s I'm telling you this.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
I can't tell her. I'm scared of my moum. That's
why she's twenty seven years old. I ruled my own world.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Did you tell her about this already?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I told her about that. She was laughing.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, when I want to why she didn't charge me
for the dice and.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, mom's getting us shipped a dice and filter because
we can't get them with New Zealand. So on the
on the topic of you being away and meanly killing
the house and the fry pans and the rice cookers
and all that. The rice cookers months ago, what do
you mean when I broke that, I just haven't told
you because I'm like, we haven't needed to have rice yet.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
So yeah, that's why you've just been cooking the oars
over then.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, she's nicer anyways, it's like an Italian rice. And
in the corporate world at the moment, it is flu
season and it is rampant. Ramp is running rampage. I

(33:16):
don't know if any running rampant he's had this run?
Is that the character see where you see you I'm English, Well,
it's running a muck around the office to say no,
because once you correct me, I don't like knowing that
you're right. So I just move on, and I at

(33:38):
the moment my throat's fucked. Our producer Adam's got a
mask on because he doesn't want to get us small sick.
You guys when like I probably got this off you
because no I did. You're on the lemp SIPs this weekend.
You and your fucking teen It's like being married to
you is like being married to a kid in daycare.

(33:59):
You bring that much shit home and then I just
cop it. It's exhausting.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Oh well, put up with it, mate.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I remember when Ring one was going around everywhere and
everywhere what who the fuck starts at?

Speaker 4 (34:11):
It's just because when when you sweat a lot and
we wrestle, and because he wrestled, that's how it spreads.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
M yeah, feral Yeah. I took down a whole department
last year with the flu because you, Taho had a
really bad flu.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
So who gave it?

Speaker 1 (34:33):
And then he gave it to you? And then you
gave it to me, and then I coughed on mania
at work from my six. He literally took down his
whole department, the heart radio apartment, and then I said,
sucked in.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
That was who's fault it was.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
It all goes back to that we.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Got to think. We we fly every second week, we're traveling.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
We're on the plane mainly when we're coming back from games.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
You know, we're like, I mean back, the body is
still recovering.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
The bodies at a low in terms of how it's feeling,
like we've just played eighty minutes and flogged thesselves in
the footy field.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Yeah, so it's like the immune systems low. And then
we get on a plane.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
With all these people and then they'll like someone's sick
on the plane, boom pasted one of us, and we
just hand it out.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
I know it's beautiful, let me tell you that.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Love.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
It can't wait being sick every fucking second week.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
But it sucks.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, but it is what it is, mate.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Because then you're always like to me when you feel
it coming on, you're like, go sleep in the spare room,
but I can't. I come forth to sleep without you there?

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Then how do you sleep? But I'm away the dog
We'll sleep with him in the spirit.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, I didn't like to do that when you're in
the house. Why because I know you're judging I'm not.
And then I have to clean the sheets the next
day and I don't do that when you're not around
consciously easier to avoid.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
But but yeah, but doesn't make sense if if you
want to sleep in the sparing with him, to sleep
in there.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
With him, Oh you'd allow that.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yeah, if you're sick, because then otherwise I give make
you shick and then you try to act tough and
the next day you spraying me.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
I never act tough. I milk that shit to the bone.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
So yeah, that was well, that was fun. Did you
like that? Did you have fun?

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah? It was awesome.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah. I just want to mention as well. One thing,
it's a really at the top of my head and
I need to get off my chairs. We've been watching
this Netflix show god listing Manhattan or Buying Manhattan or
some show ow owning Manhattan. It's another real estate show.
If I see one more fucking real estate show come
up on Netflix, and I don't even know why I'm

(36:41):
complaining because I watched them all. But there's like selling Sunset,
buying Beverly Hills, this one selling Houses Australia, selling Tampa.
What the fuck is everyone's obsession with real estate shows.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I feel like it's because everyone can relate right in.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
What way there's like like a million dollar homes. No
one can relate to that.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
Yeah, well some people like to dream about that stuff
as well and watch it again.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Man, that's nice.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
But then what I hate is people watch that show
and go, oh my god, I'm going to be real
estate agent because it's that much. It's that easy to
make commissions for someone who's a sister of a real
estate agent. Again, my beautiful brother, Luke with the foul mouth.
It's fucking hard, mate.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
It's a great point you make, but it's like that
with everything, you know, you get.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
The trolls on that are and then the trolls that want.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
To play footy or the ones online that want to.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Spray people online do that.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
There's a reason why you're.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Sitting back and you're typing on your computer or on
your phone because you're shit.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
You could never do it.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Is this about real estate or did we just hit
a nerve about people? So I just got triggered because
I'm talking about houses.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Yeah, well it's the same thing, all right, people that
say I could sell that house so I could carry
a ball, Yeah catch that ball?

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Could you get? Okay? So we're back there again.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
We'll guess what you You can't because you're not there,
you haven't done it. Just shut your mouth, all right?

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah I say that about radio exactly. I'm kidding. Anyone
could literally get on Mica and talk shit. Anyone.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
No, really, you can.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Look you're doing it right now. I'm doing it right.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
I'm funny.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
You're not. I'm not. This is shit, this is going nowhere.
Who's gonna listen to These people are already depresed. It's
gonna make them more pressed. Anyways, I think that's enough.
Let's go out with a bang. Okay, bye, Sea, I'll
see you next week.
