Speaker 1 (00:00):
Meet me get a.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It's diary here from the Headachey Breakfast. Just letting you
know that if you're listening to the podcast but didn't
know that we also do a live radio show, we do.
And if you're wondering how to find out what frequency
to listen to us in your area, just takes north
or south as an island to three four eight three
and we'll let you know. And now let's get on
with the podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Welcome to the podcast, Mediam and I are for real
this morning media is here.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, I am here. It's I thought I was all
done for the day, but here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
No, No, you don't get out that easily, Mateowey and
Studio B.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Said, where do you think you're going, asshole?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, that's nice. Stred with the scruff then can dragged back.
And we're just talking about because we've been playing the
interestings that you just heard there. If you listen to
the show, you would have heard them all of them all. Well, no,
there's actually so any that we couldn't find, a couple
of people requesting some of them to play, and then
one person saying, you guys are embarrassing stop playing the shit.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That was embarrassing. You guys are punishing I want to
quote people.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yes, I'm probably not gonna argue with the second part
of that text. The first part that was embarrassing. We've
done a lot worse, Dude. That doesn't register on the
embarrassment scale. That doesn't register anywhere. Actually, it doesn't reach that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
The amount of embarrassing shit you do as a the
amount of times in my week when I think to myself,
my mates must be like, there's your flash job and
aukling you dressed up like a twittering somewhere. You mentioned
just before the Kiss promo that we.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, because coming into filling in for a couple of days,
I googled Mediam and Iah not for ego purposes, probably
for ego purposes, but just to see some of the
shit that we use to do. And I think it
was that weird crossover period from Bourge. We were still
doing the drive show with Lee Hart and there was
a proma I think we like it was for October, yeah,
(02:08):
which I think another radio station wish As they had
that to him, but we have it and we kind
of had to use it because it wasn't being used.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So it was a legal battle.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, so we we did rocked Over and we did
a video where we all dressed up as various rock
stars or musicians. I think Jerry dressed up as Bowie
Bowie Yeah, Andrew was Stevie Nicks Yeah, Matt Heath was
Elton John. I think Keesy was doing the night show.
He was Slash Yeah, and then you myself and Lee
(02:40):
who I think it had already checked out by then.
He was done with radio. But that did not stop
the humiliation. We dressed up as Kiss Yeah, and we
were we got our mate we had. I think the
last time I was clean shaven was this shoot, like
circu twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They made me shave my beard off so they could
put the kiss makeup on me and you didn't look good. No,
well you didn't look right well, and then they painted
my face. I looked like, did they white face you? Bro?
They white faced me, fucking to make it worse, it
was half black face too. I looked like the wristler
gold dust, well, like see low Green. I don't know
(03:16):
it was it was a humillion. That photo actually popped
up again recently and I looked at it. I was
like bottom three experiences, and I.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Think that I think the direction for the video was
sort of us sitting in a boardroom board you kind
of miserable waiting because Matt Heath was late and he
had to come in and is out in John at High.
But we weren't really acting. Everyone was just sort of
sitting there miserably, going, God, I hope this is over.
So this is quite part act. It was quite a
good video video.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So that's in the top three. That photo I think
I posted it and said, seriously considering going back to
the freezing books, Uh, that's top three. I would also
put the John Too Good Winter Piece in top three.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, so there was there was you and I saying
wasn't it Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
At Winter Piece, which was a promo Hadak he used
to do where basically you just go down and ski
and we'd all stay at Old Kearney and pissed and
pissed and then on the Saturday night, I.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Thought you were being funny or saying something wrong, But
it was Winter Pierce.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, it was a promo we used to run. Cool promo.
U and La B who who weren't the La They
weren't lab then yet really I think they had one.
They had stari eyes was playing on our station. That
was about it. But people around by plenty sort of
knew who they were. They'd watched them a lot, and
obviously a couple of Chorraer boys in there. So I
(04:34):
think most people the powder key, that's what's called powder
Horn something like that. You know, it was packed out
because they for some reason we got the order wrong.
So they opened and then John too good DJ's straight afterwards.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Which was having pluging an oxcord into his ip.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And dancing on tables, but he but so I think
most people there didn't realize it was a Hidaky gig
and just thought it was a Lab gig, and so
they they played, the place was packed.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think it was that when that was when we
realized how much Joel from Lab Joel shed bolt shreds
on the guitar. We're standing going, holy shit, this guy's
he's incredible.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
His nan and I think either another family member was
sitting up there's like it's right at the powder Horn.
There's like an old Stetler and Waldorf sort of seat
up the top, and so they were sitting up there
watching and he was shredding. At one point I ended
up downstairs and you could see the ceiling because they
were playing upstairs. You could see the ceiling bouncing as
(05:33):
they jumped in this old wooden building. So it was
packed rammed, and straight after that we had to go
up and introduce John Too Good straight afterwards. So I
say all that to say, there were a lot of
people standing there and they'd all gone quiet, the music
had stopped. The tech goes, here's your microphone made, here's
your microphone, and I one of them. We were having
(05:54):
a bit of issues with when we were sitting up,
so one of them might not work, but we can't
remember which one, and we're like, oh okay, and so
we get up on the stage. Maddie says something like
how good were lab blah blah blah. Crowd goes they
are crazy, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Good sign, I nailed my bit.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
He did, he actually did, And it filled me with
confidences like fuck it, Matty's just crushed it. Let's go
all these people yeh blah blahlah. And I was like,
all right, I'm going to hurt this with as much
confidence as I can. I was out of god and
my microphone didn't work and everyone was still cheering, so
no one heard me, and so everyone just sort of
weak coallette, sorry what? No one could hear me except
(06:37):
for John too Good, who was standing right next to me,
And when he saw the crowd go quiet, He's like,
she's gonna go to the lower I'll be back, And
so then we had to put like house music on
and like paired for five minutes until John came back
whipped them up into a frenzy and we were away laughing.
But that would go into the top three humiliating moments
as well. He's the only person who heard me yell
(06:58):
at Is that why he went to the load?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
If he had a rapturous response, would he have cracked
straight into his IP?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I reckon he would have. Yeah. I think he was
just like, I'm not coming out of that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
What sort of John too Good DJ? What sort of
stuff would he play?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
T Rex?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
T Rex twentieth century boy was definitely, And there was the.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Opener, and then after that I don't really remember either
until about the next memory I have is about two
in the morning. We're back in the green room, which
I think was just a hotel room that they'd taken
all the beds out of.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I think that was our hotel room. Wasn't oh no, sorry,
the greenroom. No, the Keckons ended up in our.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Ended up in our hotel room, but the green room though.
It was two am. So we're back there with lab
John too Good, all the Hierachy people are there. This
is the night where Jerry dressed up in like speed
dealers and a wig and a bright pink blazer to
try and blend in because he was sick of people
coming up to him all night. So he's like, I'm
gonna go incognito mode, and instead what happened was everyone's like,
(07:56):
what's the seven sharp guy? Got a wig? One? And
so we're back in the green room and there's a
fruit platter sitting in I'm buckled by the stage and
I'm talking to I'm talking to Joel from Laban and
why do you guys have a fruit platter? It's two
in the morning, Like, who's who's going to eat a
(08:17):
banana at two in the morning. That would be the
latest banana ever eaten. And then I think it was Stue.
Cora turns to me and he goes, well should with it?
And so then all of a sudden we're all sitting
in this scoff and therese bananas at two aar. It
was crack up. And then I think the third and
most embarrassing thing in my career happened then as well.
(08:38):
I've got an uncle. A lot of my family's from Fukatania,
and one of my uncles went to school with the
Korra fellas from fucking TONI two, and he said, if
you ever come across in your career, if you ever
come across any of the Cora boys, ask them, tell
them that your my nephew. Asked them if they know me,
and I had met them a couple of times, we'd
interviewed them whatever, and I was like I didn't really
have the courage to do it, but you know, I'm
(09:00):
a banana deep at twill in the morning, feeling feeling pretty.
Anything goes, all bits are off, anything goes. So as
he's like zipping up his bag, he's about to leave
him like all right, this is my last chance. I
was like, hey, Michaele said, if I ever met you guys,
to let you know that you know, I'm his nephew.
And he goes, oh cool, what's youngest name? And I
was like, yeah, Cliff, it's sto you know, do you
know Uncle Cliff Niggers.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I was like, okay, another banana. I was like, oh,
this is this is the worst case scenario. Yeah, this
is exactly why I was so nervous, just in case
this happened. But I think he was friends with the
other ones.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
To be fair that while we're staying on the fruit subject,
I do believe once we ended up back in our
hotel room, which was where keekons were happening. Yeah, and
everyone was in various states of pear shapeness that I
think John Tugad did tune up. But it must have
been after that must have been two thirty three ish,
and so everyone's sort of on the beers and things,
(09:56):
and John too Good doesn't drink teetotal, I believe, and
he just rocked and it was the latest apple I've
ever seen being eaten.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it was a peer. It was a peer.
I think it was a peer. He had a knife.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It was quite fitting. It's quite symbolic for the pear
shape and as for everyone else.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Because I just remember turning around and he was sort
of leaning against the wall. But the room we were
in was dark and there was a light on out
in the Hallway. So I just saw the silhouette of
this like Kiwi rock God with a knife and a
peer cutting slivers off and yeah and eating it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I was in such a state that I could
think of nothing worse in having to go over and
talk to John Too Good while he's eating an apple
stone sober with a knife and trying to string a
sentence together and converse with them. I think someone from
the Hodaki support team as well was downstairs and there
was still a few John Too Good enthusiasts milling about
and was like, Hey, yeah, there's a guy that's really
(10:45):
keen to meet you downstairs.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You want to come. It's like three in the morning.
Everyone that's still here is wasted. Just just let him
his maybe tell them not to night. You should take
a quick break and come back. Powerful guys, real good,
(11:20):
Thanks guys, I love that, Thank you, my favorite.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
We got a text from Petty Patrick this morning. Same
morning boys became a massive fan of you boys with
going viral with media and Manaiah. So that's half assed
podcast that we created when our services were no longer
needed on the Hodaki Drive show pretty much and covid hat.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, so I was talking about this yesterday because we
got a remember we got a shipment of a palette
of purse. I was talking about this on the podcast yesterday,
and you and I were basically the only people allowed
in the building, and at that time we were doing
breakfast for some reason, so we would come and finish
the show, crush a few beers in there. Yeah, it
was actually a great way to do lockdown.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, one hundred percent of their coronas as well.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Quite Yeah, they were yeah an export Oltri guy. Yeah,
but yeah, and I think that same ticks mentioned something
about Swan dro Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
See listening to you boys set up podcast studios and
wardrobes with Swan drys As baffling and pounding beers. What
a time shame your podcast feed was dumped. Yeah, well,
I think it was sort of laid dormant there for
a little while. And but no, I mean you you
were living in a place where you were in you
were kind of in the wardrobe and you'd sit out
Swan drives just to reduce the echo.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So we're in a one bedroom apartment, mean the messas
it was actually the first apartment we lived in just
by ourselves. And so when we're doing the When we
were recording the podcast, we had to do it from
our own homes. We had to do it remotely, but
so I had to go shudder myself in the bedroom.
But the room was real echoey, and so I had
a cupboard and I would open the cupboard. It was
(12:49):
basically picked to the hot water cylinder cupboard, but with
no cylinder in it. It's that small. We wouldn't use
it for anything else. And so I would put the
microphone and the laptop in there, and then I would
drag a bastall up to the wardrobe and sit in there.
But that was really echoey. So I pulled out two
Swan driers and I hung them either side and created
(13:09):
Swan dry studios where we podcasted from.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well enough. Yeah, And so we did that all through lockdown.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, and we had to purchase our own microphones for
the podcast. And I was living in a two bitty
units at the time, and quite possibly the hardest of
we ever laughed at the back of the worst I've
felt formula. But I think we were just about to
record on the podcast and I was like, actually, I
just need to go to the toilet, and I was
(13:40):
on the spear beadeo, this is pre kids. So the
spear bedroom had the desk with the laptop of the
microphone set up and literally shares a wall with the
toilet and went to the toilet, left the door door open,
and unfortunately it was quite a good quality microphone at
five picked up any noise and amplifies it. And unfortunately
(14:03):
I was I was busting and just sent an absolute
what can only be deemed a thunder purse directly into
the water. I walked back to this disgusted look on
Manyah's face. I just said, to listen to the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, headphones on those those It was one of those
yetty blue condensed mic things that had just picked up everything.
And you were yeah, yeah, there was a wall between
you and the next room, but it was also down
the hallway. Both doors open, wide open, straight into the
straight into the water as well, not onto the bowl,
and it was you. You might as well have been
(14:40):
person straight into my ears. It was that loud. I
was like, oh it was.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was a horrendous combination of being busting but also
trying to be quick. Yeah, so really really pushing it
out as the crow flies the toilet would have been
two meters three meters feet.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It was that close. We had some bizarre Suich equations
on that podcast. We got the Mad Butcher on Yeah,
he had no idea what the hell a podcast was.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, and we we called his landline and his wife answered,
and then he just handed the phone over and Jennie.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So at one point, if it's Jennie, I can't remember
her name, but let's call her Jennie. We're interviewing the
Mad Butcher. He doesn't know what a podcast is, he
doesn't know who we are, but it's just that kind
of guy. I agreed to do it. And as we're
asking him questions, he starts telling us this yarn about
how he got started and blah blah blah. And he's
sitting in the lounge in his lazy boy. His wife's
in another lazy boy right next to him, and she
(15:33):
starts going, no, no, no, that's not how it happened.
You did you did this? Oh sorry, yeah, no, I
did this. Did this? So anyway, we're blah blah bunching it. No, no, no,
that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You actually did this.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Do the Buddy Interview. The Buddy Interview and I think
he might have even passed.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Us over to Yees. Yeah, I think it's one stage. Actually,
see a Pete just passed the phone over to Jenna.
She can obstall the story a lot more accurately than
you can that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And then Darry Doris was the other through line from
that podcast. There was Doris. So at that time, I
was running a warehouse for a brewery and I was
like packing and shipping. And at the back of the
it was in ponso Me Central, pons Me, It's not
there anymore. And out the back of the plate the warehouse,
(16:21):
a lady was stashing cigarettes in a tree and a
trailer and all these weird places out in the parking
lot out the back of his warehouse.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And so were they the pre used ones?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Uh what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
No, well they hadn't, like, she hadn't smoked the me
she was stashing them.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So yeah, and so she would come down and she
would smoke them in the parking lot and just sit
there and then hide them. And then when she was gone,
I would go and try and find the cigarettes, and
I found them a couple of times. But yeah, Darry
Doris became a.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Did you end up going for a dart with darry Doris.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I didn't. I didn't feel like darry Doris was I
don't think darry Doris was keen on other people having
a dart with her. She would like drive there, park up,
go and like Foster ground and a bush or underneath
the trailer and then sit down and have a dorry
by itself.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Do you think there's any did you ever see darry Doris?
Is there any chance that Darry Dorris was actually Lee
Jason Whitt?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wow? Could have been Jason Hood? Did look like it.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Seems like a Jason Hoick type things today skinny legs.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, so that was the Madie and I podcast, which
apparently that person Patrick tried to dig it up on
Spotify and no longer exists. Kidding probably for the best.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
It's wonder Yeah, that's one of those annoying things when
you've subscribed to a podcast previously and then all the
audio is taken down but you can still see you
can still see them, but you can't listen to them.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's annoying.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I think he's a pretty ai nasty going viral with
Maddim and I.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Artwork. Yes, yeah, we did well.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
We did want to say it was red.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It was red. It was you and I smoking a
dirry out in the no smoking area just outside the
studio here.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's right. I took a selfie of us. So it
was after our final show on that hole Act Drive.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, defiant.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, we had to rename it from the Mediam and
I Show because someone else owns that, if you can
believe that.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But luckily, luckily, there was a worldwide pandemic kicking off,
so we quickly took going viral.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Never did go viral in the end, But thanks for
coming in and covid walk down.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
COVID did that.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's going to walk down memory Lane. Have a good weekend, mate,
and enjoy Oasis. If I don't see anything on your
Instagram story or no, why yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'd say it's going to be a bit of a
social media blackout, so I don't be too concerned. But
I will share any good stories. I'd say eventually, probably
not next week, eventually good stuff
Speaker 1 (18:36):
All right, all right,
Meet me get a.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It's diary here from the Headachey Breakfast. Just letting you

gold dust, well, like see low Green. I don't know
(03:16):
it was it was a humillion. That photo actually popped
up again recently and I looked at it. I was
like bottom three experiences, and I.

So this is quite part act. It was quite a
good video video.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So that's in the top three. That photo I think
I posted it and said, seriously considering going back to
the freezing books, Uh, that's top three. I would also
put the John Too Good Winter Piece in top three.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, so there was there was you and I saying
wasn't it Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
At Winter Piece, which was a promo Hadak he used
to do where basically you just go down and ski
and we'd all stay at Old Kearney and pissed and
pissed and then on the Saturday night, I.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Thought you were being funny or saying something wrong, But
it was Winter Pierce.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, it was a promo we used to run. Cool promo.
U and La B who who weren't the La They
weren't lab then yet really I think they had one.
They had stari eyes was playing on our station. That
was about it. But people around by plenty sort of
knew who they were. They'd watched them a lot, and
obviously a couple of Chorraer boys in there. So I
(04:34):
think most people the powder key, that's what's called powder
Horn something like that. You know, it was packed out
because they for some reason we got the order wrong.
So they opened and then John too good DJ's straight afterwards.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Which was having pluging an oxcord into his ip.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And dancing on tables, but he but so I think
most people there didn't realize it was a Hidaky gig
and just thought it was a Lab gig, and so
they they played, the place was packed.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think it was that when that was when we
realized how much Joel from Lab Joel shed bolt shreds
on the guitar. We're standing going, holy shit, this guy's
he's incredible.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
His nan and I think either another family member was
sitting up there's like it's right at the powder Horn.
There's like an old Stetler and Waldorf sort of seat
up the top, and so they were sitting up there
watching and he was shredding. At one point I ended
up downstairs and you could see the ceiling because they
were playing upstairs. You could see the ceiling bouncing as
(05:33):
they jumped in this old wooden building. So it was
packed rammed, and straight after that we had to go
up and introduce John Too Good straight afterwards. So I
say all that to say, there were a lot of
people standing there and they'd all gone quiet, the music
had stopped. The tech goes, here's your microphone made, here's
your microphone, and I one of them. We were having
(05:54):
a bit of issues with when we were sitting up,
so one of them might not work, but we can't
remember which one, and we're like, oh okay, and so
we get up on the stage. Maddie says something like
how good were lab blah blah blah. Crowd goes they
are crazy, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Good sign, I nailed my bit.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
He did, he actually did, And it filled me with
confidences like fuck it, Matty's just crushed it. Let's go
all these people yeh blah blahlah. And I was like,
all right, I'm going to hurt this with as much
confidence as I can. I was out of god and
my microphone didn't work and everyone was still cheering, so
no one heard me, and so everyone just sort of
weak coallette, sorry what? No one could hear me except
(06:37):
for John too Good, who was standing right next to me,
And when he saw the crowd go quiet, He's like,
she's gonna go to the lower I'll be back, And
so then we had to put like house music on
and like paired for five minutes until John came back
whipped them up into a frenzy and we were away laughing.
But that would go into the top three humiliating moments
as well. He's the only person who heard me yell
(06:58):
at Is that why he went to the load?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
If he had a rapturous response, would he have cracked
straight into his IP?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I reckon he would have. Yeah. I think he was
just like, I'm not coming out of that.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
What sort of John too Good DJ? What sort of
stuff would he play?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
T Rex?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
T Rex twentieth century boy was definitely, And there was the.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Opener, and then after that I don't really remember either
until about the next memory I have is about two
in the morning. We're back in the green room, which
I think was just a hotel room that they'd taken
all the beds out of.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I think that was our hotel room. Wasn't oh no, sorry,
the greenroom. No, the Keckons ended up in our.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Ended up in our hotel room, but the green room though.
It was two am. So we're back there with lab
John too Good, all the Hierachy people are there. This
is the night where Jerry dressed up in like speed
dealers and a wig and a bright pink blazer to
try and blend in because he was sick of people
coming up to him all night. So he's like, I'm
gonna go incognito mode, and instead what happened was everyone's like,
(07:56):
what's the seven sharp guy? Got a wig? One? And
so we're back in the green room and there's a
fruit platter sitting in I'm buckled by the stage and
I'm talking to I'm talking to Joel from Laban and
why do you guys have a fruit platter? It's two
in the morning, Like, who's who's going to eat a
(08:17):
banana at two in the morning. That would be the
latest banana ever eaten. And then I think it was Stue.
Cora turns to me and he goes, well should with it?
And so then all of a sudden we're all sitting
in this scoff and therese bananas at two aar. It
was crack up. And then I think the third and
most embarrassing thing in my career happened then as well.
(08:38):
I've got an uncle. A lot of my family's from Fukatania,
and one of my uncles went to school with the
Korra fellas from fucking TONI two, and he said, if
you ever come across in your career, if you ever
come across any of the Cora boys, ask them, tell
them that your my nephew. Asked them if they know me,
and I had met them a couple of times, we'd
interviewed them whatever, and I was like I didn't really
have the courage to do it, but you know, I'm
(09:00):
a banana deep at twill in the morning, feeling feeling pretty.
Anything goes, all bits are off, anything goes. So as
he's like zipping up his bag, he's about to leave
him like all right, this is my last chance. I
was like, hey, Michaele said, if I ever met you guys,
to let you know that you know, I'm his nephew.
And he goes, oh cool, what's youngest name? And I
was like, yeah, Cliff, it's sto you know, do you
know Uncle Cliff Niggers.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I was like, okay, another banana. I was like, oh,
this is this is the worst case scenario. Yeah, this
is exactly why I was so nervous, just in case
this happened. But I think he was friends with the
other ones.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
To be fair that while we're staying on the fruit subject,
I do believe once we ended up back in our
hotel room, which was where keekons were happening. Yeah, and
everyone was in various states of pear shapeness that I
think John Tugad did tune up. But it must have
been after that must have been two thirty three ish,
and so everyone's sort of on the beers and things,
(09:56):
and John too Good doesn't drink teetotal, I believe, and
he just rocked and it was the latest apple I've
ever seen being eaten.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I think it was a peer. It was a peer.
I think it was a peer. He had a knife.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It was quite fitting. It's quite symbolic for the pear
shape and as for everyone else.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Because I just remember turning around and he was sort
of leaning against the wall. But the room we were
in was dark and there was a light on out
in the Hallway. So I just saw the silhouette of
this like Kiwi rock God with a knife and a
peer cutting slivers off and yeah and eating it.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
And I was in such a state that I could
think of nothing worse in having to go over and
talk to John Too Good while he's eating an apple
stone sober with a knife and trying to string a
sentence together and converse with them. I think someone from
the Hodaki support team as well was downstairs and there
was still a few John Too Good enthusiasts milling about
and was like, Hey, yeah, there's a guy that's really
(10:45):
keen to meet you downstairs.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
You want to come. It's like three in the morning.
Everyone that's still here is wasted. Just just let him
his maybe tell them not to night. You should take
a quick break and come back. Powerful guys, real good,
(11:20):
Thanks guys, I love that, Thank you, my favorite.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
We got a text from Petty Patrick this morning. Same
morning boys became a massive fan of you boys with
going viral with media and Manaiah. So that's half assed
podcast that we created when our services were no longer
needed on the Hodaki Drive show pretty much and covid hat.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, so I was talking about this yesterday because we
got a remember we got a shipment of a palette
of purse. I was talking about this on the podcast yesterday,
and you and I were basically the only people allowed
in the building, and at that time we were doing
breakfast for some reason, so we would come and finish
the show, crush a few beers in there. Yeah, it
was actually a great way to do lockdown.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Yeah, one hundred percent of their coronas as well.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Quite Yeah, they were yeah an export Oltri guy. Yeah,
but yeah, and I think that same ticks mentioned something
about Swan dro Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
See listening to you boys set up podcast studios and
wardrobes with Swan drys As baffling and pounding beers. What
a time shame your podcast feed was dumped. Yeah, well,
I think it was sort of laid dormant there for
a little while. And but no, I mean you you
were living in a place where you were in you
were kind of in the wardrobe and you'd sit out
Swan drives just to reduce the echo.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So we're in a one bedroom apartment, mean the messas
it was actually the first apartment we lived in just
by ourselves. And so when we're doing the When we
were recording the podcast, we had to do it from
our own homes. We had to do it remotely, but
so I had to go shudder myself in the bedroom.
But the room was real echoey, and so I had
a cupboard and I would open the cupboard. It was
(12:49):
basically picked to the hot water cylinder cupboard, but with
no cylinder in it. It's that small. We wouldn't use
it for anything else. And so I would put the
microphone and the laptop in there, and then I would
drag a bastall up to the wardrobe and sit in there.
But that was really echoey. So I pulled out two
Swan driers and I hung them either side and created
(13:09):
Swan dry studios where we podcasted from.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And it worked.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well enough. Yeah, And so we did that all through lockdown.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, and we had to purchase our own microphones for
the podcast. And I was living in a two bitty
units at the time, and quite possibly the hardest of
we ever laughed at the back of the worst I've
felt formula. But I think we were just about to
record on the podcast and I was like, actually, I
just need to go to the toilet, and I was
(13:40):
on the spear beadeo, this is pre kids. So the
spear bedroom had the desk with the laptop of the
microphone set up and literally shares a wall with the
toilet and went to the toilet, left the door door open,
and unfortunately it was quite a good quality microphone at
five picked up any noise and amplifies it. And unfortunately
(14:03):
I was I was busting and just sent an absolute
what can only be deemed a thunder purse directly into
the water. I walked back to this disgusted look on
Manyah's face. I just said, to listen to the entire thing.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, headphones on those those It was one of those
yetty blue condensed mic things that had just picked up everything.
And you were yeah, yeah, there was a wall between
you and the next room, but it was also down
the hallway. Both doors open, wide open, straight into the
straight into the water as well, not onto the bowl,
and it was you. You might as well have been
(14:40):
person straight into my ears. It was that loud. I
was like, oh it was.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It was a horrendous combination of being busting but also
trying to be quick. Yeah, so really really pushing it
out as the crow flies the toilet would have been
two meters three meters feet.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
It was that close. We had some bizarre Suich equations
on that podcast. We got the Mad Butcher on Yeah,
he had no idea what the hell a podcast was.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, and we we called his landline and his wife answered,
and then he just handed the phone over and Jennie.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
So at one point, if it's Jennie, I can't remember
her name, but let's call her Jennie. We're interviewing the
Mad Butcher. He doesn't know what a podcast is, he
doesn't know who we are, but it's just that kind
of guy. I agreed to do it. And as we're
asking him questions, he starts telling us this yarn about
how he got started and blah blah blah. And he's
sitting in the lounge in his lazy boy. His wife's
in another lazy boy right next to him, and she
(15:33):
starts going, no, no, no, that's not how it happened.
You did you did this? Oh sorry, yeah, no, I
did this. Did this? So anyway, we're blah blah bunching it. No, no, no,
that's not happening.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You actually did this.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Do the Buddy Interview. The Buddy Interview and I think
he might have even passed.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Us over to Yees. Yeah, I think it's one stage. Actually,
see a Pete just passed the phone over to Jenna.
She can obstall the story a lot more accurately than
you can that.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And then Darry Doris was the other through line from
that podcast. There was Doris. So at that time, I
was running a warehouse for a brewery and I was
like packing and shipping. And at the back of the
it was in ponso Me Central, pons Me, It's not
there anymore. And out the back of the plate the warehouse,
(16:21):
a lady was stashing cigarettes in a tree and a
trailer and all these weird places out in the parking
lot out the back of his warehouse.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And so were they the pre used ones?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Uh what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
No, well they hadn't, like, she hadn't smoked the me
she was stashing them.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
So yeah, and so she would come down and she
would smoke them in the parking lot and just sit
there and then hide them. And then when she was gone,
I would go and try and find the cigarettes, and
I found them a couple of times. But yeah, Darry
Doris became a.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Did you end up going for a dart with darry Doris.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I didn't. I didn't feel like darry Doris was I
don't think darry Doris was keen on other people having
a dart with her. She would like drive there, park up,
go and like Foster ground and a bush or underneath
the trailer and then sit down and have a dorry
by itself.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Do you think there's any did you ever see darry Doris?
Is there any chance that Darry Dorris was actually Lee
Jason Whitt?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Wow? Could have been Jason Hood? Did look like it.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Seems like a Jason Hoick type things today skinny legs.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, so that was the Madie and I podcast, which
apparently that person Patrick tried to dig it up on
Spotify and no longer exists. Kidding probably for the best.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
It's wonder Yeah, that's one of those annoying things when
you've subscribed to a podcast previously and then all the
audio is taken down but you can still see you
can still see them, but you can't listen to them.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
It's annoying.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I think he's a pretty ai nasty going viral with
Maddim and I.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Artwork. Yes, yeah, we did well.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
We did want to say it was red.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It was red. It was you and I smoking a
dirry out in the no smoking area just outside the
studio here.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
That's right. I took a selfie of us. So it
was after our final show on that hole Act Drive.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yeah, defiant.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, we had to rename it from the Mediam and
I Show because someone else owns that, if you can
believe that.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
But luckily, luckily, there was a worldwide pandemic kicking off,
so we quickly took going viral.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Never did go viral in the end, But thanks for
coming in and covid walk down.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
COVID did that.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's going to walk down memory Lane. Have a good weekend, mate,
and enjoy Oasis. If I don't see anything on your
Instagram story or no, why yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'd say it's going to be a bit of a
social media blackout, so I don't be too concerned. But
I will share any good stories. I'd say eventually, probably
not next week, eventually good stuff
Speaker 1 (18:36):
