Food in the Minute.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
This music is so soothing. I just this said before
the news didn't Yeah, food in a Minute. I feel
like the nineties early two thousands there was a real
push towards people cooking more stuff in the kitchen or
like trying different stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Advertising for whatties. I believe, I believe it was what
he is.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But but I remember people food in a minute because
they would also have recipes in the magazines, so and
I remember people discussing them, I've got this, I'll bring
them I'll bring it in for you. Did you see
Ellison Gofton last night? So she's got it's a three ingredient,
one pan. You can get the whole. So it's like a.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Gofton must have made an absolute killing out of us,
you'd hope so Goton Gofton would have been paid a
fortune because it was years. Are you googling how much
did Ellis and Gofton get paid for this?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I just want to find anything out out about it.
Food in a minute, Food in.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
A minute, Food in a minute. But she it was
years and years and years. I'm going to say at
least five.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh yeah, maybe it feels like yeah, it feels like
a lot like they that was every day before.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Then you said the paying big money for that. It's
a big high rate. Five. Yeah, she got that massive house.
Yeah off the back of food in a minute drink.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
If she cooked any of that stuff, nah, Gofton, she
would have been to the.

And you can put some food together. Richard Till.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Was he even a real person or was he the
first AI bot?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah that was ever developed. I think it might have
been Richard Till. Someone's ending a lame claim to fame
about Richard Till today.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What was that? They went to her cooking They did
a cooking class with Richard Tell, and in front of
a whole lot of people they cooked some food with
Richard Tell at like one of those food chase.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I guess I'm not a great cook and I don't
love cooking. But us celebrity shifts falling by the wayside?
Are we still doing celebrity shifts?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I think we reached peak celebrity shift in about two
thousand and sixteen seventeen, maybe master shift.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Who's the last of the celebrity shifts?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ramsey Gordon, Ramsey, jam Jeller.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No Jelly Yeah, Yeah, but I think, And then there
was oh, there's still the cooking shows. I hate the
cooking shows. Here's here's a no yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
J I know from MKR my Kitchen Rules.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And then there's the other one who's gone full vaccine. Dude,
that guy he's grown.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Himself a cooker.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Who did he go out with?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Nicki Watson? Pete Murray, Pete Murray? Was he Eric Pete
Pete Murray.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Pete Murray is simple mind? Pete Murray was from the
David gray Elk of Dave Matthews bands, That a dog shirt,
one Wonder music, White.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Boys genre, Yeah, okay, celebrity.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I listened. I listened to an interview with Jamie Oliver
and he said that at the peak of his fame,
he basically couldn't leave the house because everywhere he went,
some odd British geezer would bail him up against the
wall and be like, thanks to you, my wife now
expects me to cook three nights a fucking week. And
he said it would happened to him every every time
(04:48):
he walked down the things.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Josh, he was another guy that was his celebrity chef
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Worst did I've told the story before? Worst interview I
ever did was Josh. Nothing to do with him was
my fault. We didn't know who Josh Himmitt was. And
it's probably behind the curtain at the radio station. Sometimes
last minute, someone will just come in like preps will
come out from in from out the office. But hey,
they got Josh Emmett here, do you want to interview?
And he'll be like, oh yeah, what about and he goes, oh,
(05:18):
he's got a yogurt for skin cancer, And that was
all the information we had. Josh Emmett's got a yogurt
for skin cancer, man matt Wood, And so we.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Get in here, okay, giving me anxiety.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We don't know who he is. We had no idea
who he was. He sits down. We're like, this guy's
first off, beautiful, great tan, very handsome, very handsome, tall
as we drunk him in.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Good work, good, great work.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And all we know is he's beautiful, he's got a
yogat and it's for skin cancer.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And we sit down like looks like a card as
a Native New Zealand falcon.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh yeah, the hawk. So we sit down and we
look at him and we go, so do you put
it on your skin? He's like, what on like the
yogurt does it or do you eat it? And it's
got some sort of probiotics? No, there's not, it doesn't.
(06:17):
We're okay, so have you how have you been affected
by a skincarecer? I looked at him and I was
just like, way too much tanning bit. He's probably had
some melanoma cut out of him. No, no one, no
family members, I think, No, I personally haven't been affected
by it. And I was like, all right, this is
like cluter is this guy? Why has he got a yogurt?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I know?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And at this point he's clocked that he doesn't that
we don't know who he is, and so he's like,
well what the fuck is this? And we are too,
because what's happened here is the promo person who's who's
dragging him around all the radio stations making him do
this hasn't filled in us and on who he is
and what he's doing, hasn't filled him and on who
we are and what we're doing. So we're all just
(07:00):
sitting in there, live on here like to put the
yogurt on your skin?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So so pulling Curtin back.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So it was this live or prereck it was live
fuck me and yeah, and so we're just sitting there like, oh, okay, yes,
and then what happens. And I think because he caught
cotton that we didn't know who he was or what
was going on. He sort of he wasn't very forthcoming
with like you know, as well with in his rights too.
(07:27):
But I was wondering, like, is he gonna take this
by the scruff of the neck and explain what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
He's not that kind of He's not.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
He's a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Shift.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
He was just like, well, if you guys can't be
figuring out who I am, I'm not going to And
it was the and the atmosphere in the room, and
then he walked out, and then I think it was
Prooves that came and it was just like, do you
guys know who he is? Well, no, I think someone
out in the office got a photo him. Nah, celebrity chef.
He's made a new flavor of yogurt or whatever, and
it's a fundraiser, come and get josh Immit's yoga and
(07:56):
all the proceeds go to skin cancer.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Like, well, Kevil Proves to come on say that beforehand.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I don't know, if I was president, could have been
in it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Trained under Gordon ram he was he was Gordon Ramsey's guy.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I would have been massively beneath him. Weren't just asking
to be put yoga on your skin to stop skin cans?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well you probably can. He was probably going, I know
we've done.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
This segment before, but we talked about these before, but
worst interviews I've ever done. We had another one. There
was a fish market, a new fish market opened up
here in Auckland, and they were like, as a promo,
we should get someone in from the fish market. We're like, sure,
that'd be weird. This guy showed up with a full
styrophone box full of one of every fucking fish that
(08:41):
they sold at the fish market and brought it into
the studio and I was like, dud, do you understand
our radio station, no one can see the fish, and
he's pulling them out with his hands, showing us all
that the hag version.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's first for.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
A TV interview, great for a TV interview, But and
he didn't stand anywhere near a microphone, so we couldn't
actually hear what was going on.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And the.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
In the studio of Squid octopus as first. That first
he goes, I can leave this here if you.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Want, no wonder, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I was one of the worst. Was was kaim mo
Wana related was one of the worst in with Josh
Homie where I spilled kinjuana juice backstage in his in
his dressing room.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's right, and he muscles.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
He wasn't happy. No bluff oysters. He wasn't happy. He
was not and fair enough. I mean it's stunk and
it would have reaped like the longer it's set around
that kim Wana juice and it's a great gig. Actually,
I reckon by the time he ended up playing the
gag later on that because it was during the day
before and he would have just been hanging out in
(09:44):
that kio Wana juice all afternoon and he had his
kids back there with a blow up bloody bouncy castle
in his room as well. It's a giant room here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And they're like, Josh, just before you go on stage,
make kids do this quick interview. It'll help I sell
a few tickets for the christ show.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
He he was onto it and fair enough.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
No wacky gags.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What have you got boys to juice? That's exactly. That's
he was at that time as well, where he was unhappy.
He's much happier now. He was unhappy at the time.
He's off the gear.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I was that the gear that was making him myth
and I believe Oh yeah, I'm not breaking any news.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's talked about this. Oh crack?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is that myth? I think it's myth. I think it
was a myth.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is that what that ad with benvoice was shows your crack? Yeah?
Oh wow, I knew that was the thing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, okay, that sort of makes sense. He's coming off
the glass Barbie.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, well he wouldn't have known where to get it here, so.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He would have anywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Or yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He didn't know that at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They drink some waste water, you'd probably get wasted.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Speaking of bad interviews, being early refuses to work with
Princess Lara and Studio B because the worst interview of
her career was with him, although it wasn't her fault.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You say that now to hear her tell it, But.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Just didn't know who he was? Or yeah, that sucks
when you don't know, Like I would say from experience
of interviewing people who you don't know who they are
and being having an interview thrust upon you. I mean
the worst is when you not only don't know who
they are, and I've had this before, you don't know
their name. So I was once we once were interviewing
(11:31):
someone on this very not podcast, but she is, and
came into the studio and they were just they just
they walked down and they were brought in by the
by their PR person. Yes, and I feel like I
don't know who was the producer at the time.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It wasn't It wasn't even the producer. I can we
take a break here because I remember this story as well.
I was involved in this. I feel like Hanger was
the producer. Hanger was there. Yes, But let's take a
break and I'll tell you my side of the story.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Great drumming. I loved the drumming in that song. So
we're talking about terrible moments of interviews. And one that
happened here on the breakfast when during the heat era.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And it was two actors from a TV show. Yes, Yes,
I remember.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This, Yes, And I didn't know the TV show No,
And I didn't know what the actor's names was, and
I didn't know which one was watched, and I didn't
even know their names.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, but you knew that they were on. I think
you may have even known. You might have been given
the name of the TV show. And I think you
guys were doing the whole So what's the TV show about?
You know, tell us all about it? Blah blah, how
long is the season? All that kind of, and they
were answering the questions. It was the two actors, an
actor and an actress, and then a PR person all
in the studio, and you guys did two bits with them,
(12:53):
so you talk to them, we do a song, came
back talking. I remember this because while the song was playing,
Hangar came out into the thing and goes, does anyone
know who the fuck these guys are? And we're out
in the office and we're like no. It was another
one of those power persons just brought them through.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Information hadn't been passed on, and I was like no,
and I said, I've got an idea. And I came
in and said, can I take a photo of you
guys for our socials and we'll tag you what's your
Instagram handle? To the actor and the actress, what's your
Instagram handle? I went back out look them up on Instagram,
(13:32):
found their names, takes them to hang, and he put
them in the dock.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's how it happened.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yes, that's how that got something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Meanwhile, on he Alive, me and Heath floundering, and Heath
was floundering, next level floundering like he was just looking
at me, like you sort this out, and man, I
should have just come clean to said Lock. I don't know,
but that's all. You can't do that. I don't know
(14:00):
who you are. I'm sorry about this. I'm sorry about
I'm not trying to be rude, but I should have
thrown Hanger under the bush. Our producers had a shudder.
He normally explains to us, the guests that we have,
you've just come on a little earlier than we thought,
and I'm sorry. Normally I do. I looked this over
like the ten minutes before, and I haven't had a
(14:20):
chance to I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You should have gone I'm so sorry. Remind me of
your name again, and she would have gone, Alice, no Elie,
of course, I know your first name. Your last name, Alice, Oh,
Alice Smith Sorry, yes, Alice smith Man.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's good Maniah. I like that. I think as well.
They were thrust him with about ten seconds to go
in the song, so it.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Was like, fuck, it's just because I remember.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Singing for your supper those days.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, because you must have shot a look through in
the studio, because Hanger comes out and he goes, we
don't know who these people. We don't have their names,
does anyone? Because he asked me if I had like
a press, No, I've got nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm just reliving the moment now. It was so embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I don't know how relatable this is to anyone listening
to this. I don't know how many probably interviews the
average person does. But it's it's the equivalent of all
the fear you have a public speaking, combined with all
the fear that you have of forgetting someone's name. You know,
when you've been hanging out with someone for too long.
It might have been like all nights your mate's mate,
You've been at the puble night or whatever, and you're like,
I fucking just did not catch this guy's name.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
What do you do? And it's combined with that nightmare
that you sometimes have where maybe you're in a school
production and you've forgotten all of your lines. Yeah, you
still have to do the school production. Or you go
and to an exam and you've forgotten all of the
answers because you have done no study. So you've got
that in a real life situation.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Oh yeah, it's it's brutal. Yeah, I don't know what
to do with Uh. Luckily we have not had that yet.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
No, I don't think we'll ever be. I've done it.
I've had it too many times now in my life
to ever have to do it again.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
We should turn it into a segment. We wrote it
ambushes us with the guests, and we're going to run
for the worst.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
No, because the poor guest is to come in. Imagine
that turning up. But that's the suck thing. It's like
these people have made an effort to come into the studio.
You know, they've got up early in the morning. You
feel so stink. It's like the least you can do
is at least know who they are.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, we're the flip side of that where we knew
exactly who the guest was and they didn't come on
the show. Kevin Hart, Yep, we'll just pick that name
back up. He was in and he did like an
hour over at Flavor. I don't know how she managed this,
but Athena went to his concert and the very next
day he came and hosted the show with her for
an hour, and his people said, if he gets a chance,
(16:38):
he'll come in and do a quick bit with you guys.
And so we were like, great, we're going to tease
this all show. Kevin Hart's coming up on the show
later on, and we even had up on the Instagram
story photos off Kevin Hart because he was in the
building just and iHeart we pulled the Pharaoler.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
We put a push notification on Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That means it must have been very into Patrya.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Goes government emergency, iHeart push notification, personal phone call and
and in the end all we managed to get was
a photo with him and we went in there. I
s star struck. Oh, we're from the other station across
(17:23):
the thing. We said that you were coming on the show,
but like all good if not, we'll just make a
whole thing about how like you didn't come on the show,
and he goes, haha, yeah, and then took.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The photo kicked that out.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
He is tiny man, And also I've I've looked I've
looked at that photo recently and it's a great advert
for the big brown, slim town. It makes me it
looks like the before photo, you know what I mean,
and then the after photo is me. Now, I'll dig
it out for you. I think you'll be surprised. I
think you'd be surprised.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It helps as well when you had a really small
person beside you, knowing a classic Gulliver.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh looking fucking enormous.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, and when that person stands in the middle and
they always kind of slightly back in your kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
To Brian Adams, Yeah, I gullo at him massively and
he was trying to avoid standing beside me because he's
quite small, and he was trying to stand inside Hillary.
You're real white on for Hillary. Yeah, like she said
after it, she goes, wasn't me. It was Brian Adams
giving me in the glad eye the whole time. I
was like I think he was, and he would not
(18:33):
stand beside me, but he kind of had to in
the sit up to for it to work the photo.
And he hated me. God, he hated me for that. Well,
you were blocking him, are you totally casting a shadow
over him? Right? That's enough for today. Yeah, we're gonna
go and do some filming.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh, yes, we do too.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I if you're looking for the photo, just found the photo.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Show you.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh do you want to come and have.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
A lot.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Fault I got?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh my god, look how think you are?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We were there at flyav Win Win friend and fifty
two weeks ago, Jared, that's all I can tell you.

Food in the Minute.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
This music is so soothing. I just this said before
the news didn't Yeah, food in a Minute. I feel
like the nineties early two thousands there was a real
push towards people cooking more stuff in the kitchen or
like trying different stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Advertising for whatties. I believe, I believe it was what
he is.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But but I remember people food in a minute because
they would also have recipes in the magazines, so and
I remember people discussing them, I've got this, I'll bring
them I'll bring it in for you. Did you see
Ellison Gofton last night? So she's got it's a three ingredient,
one pan. You can get the whole. So it's like a.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Gofton must have made an absolute killing out of us,
you'd hope so Goton Gofton would have been paid a
fortune because it was years. Are you googling how much
did Ellis and Gofton get paid for this?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I just want to find anything out out about it.
Food in a minute, Food in.

Then you said the paying big money for that. It's
a big high rate. Five. Yeah, she got that massive house.
Yeah off the back of food in a minute drink.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Oh yeah, going to countdown and buy this, this and this.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And you can put some food together. Richard Till.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Was he even a real person or was he the
first AI bot?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah that was ever developed. I think it might have
been Richard Till. Someone's ending a lame claim to fame
about Richard Till today.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What was that? They went to her cooking They did
a cooking class with Richard Tell, and in front of
a whole lot of people they cooked some food with
Richard Tell at like one of those food chase.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I guess I'm not a great cook and I don't
love cooking. But us celebrity shifts falling by the wayside?
Are we still doing celebrity shifts?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I think we reached peak celebrity shift in about two
thousand and sixteen seventeen, maybe master shift.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Who's the last of the celebrity shifts?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ramsey Gordon, Ramsey, jam Jeller.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
No Jelly Yeah, Yeah, but I think, And then there
was oh, there's still the cooking shows. I hate the
cooking shows. Here's here's a no yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
J I know from MKR my Kitchen Rules.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
And then there's the other one who's gone full vaccine. Dude,
that guy he's grown.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Himself a cooker.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Who did he go out with?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Nicki Watson? Pete Murray, Pete Murray? Was he Eric Pete
Pete Murray.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Pete Murray is simple mind? Pete Murray was from the
David gray Elk of Dave Matthews bands, That a dog shirt,
one Wonder music, White.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Boys genre, Yeah, okay, celebrity.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I listened. I listened to an interview with Jamie Oliver
and he said that at the peak of his fame,
he basically couldn't leave the house because everywhere he went,
some odd British geezer would bail him up against the
wall and be like, thanks to you, my wife now
expects me to cook three nights a fucking week. And
he said it would happened to him every every time
(04:48):
he walked down the things.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Josh, he was another guy that was his celebrity chef
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Worst did I've told the story before? Worst interview I
ever did was Josh. Nothing to do with him was
my fault. We didn't know who Josh Himmitt was. And
it's probably behind the curtain at the radio station. Sometimes
last minute, someone will just come in like preps will
come out from in from out the office. But hey,
they got Josh Emmett here, do you want to interview?
And he'll be like, oh yeah, what about and he goes, oh,
(05:18):
he's got a yogurt for skin cancer, And that was
all the information we had. Josh Emmett's got a yogurt
for skin cancer, man matt Wood, And so we.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Get in here, okay, giving me anxiety.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
We don't know who he is. We had no idea
who he was. He sits down. We're like, this guy's
first off, beautiful, great tan, very handsome, very handsome, tall
as we drunk him in.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Good work, good, great work.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And all we know is he's beautiful, he's got a
yogat and it's for skin cancer.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
And we sit down like looks like a card as
a Native New Zealand falcon.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh yeah, the hawk. So we sit down and we
look at him and we go, so do you put
it on your skin? He's like, what on like the
yogurt does it or do you eat it? And it's
got some sort of probiotics? No, there's not, it doesn't.
(06:17):
We're okay, so have you how have you been affected
by a skincarecer? I looked at him and I was
just like, way too much tanning bit. He's probably had
some melanoma cut out of him. No, no one, no
family members, I think, No, I personally haven't been affected
by it. And I was like, all right, this is
like cluter is this guy? Why has he got a yogurt?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I know?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
And at this point he's clocked that he doesn't that
we don't know who he is, and so he's like,
well what the fuck is this? And we are too,
because what's happened here is the promo person who's who's
dragging him around all the radio stations making him do
this hasn't filled in us and on who he is
and what he's doing, hasn't filled him and on who
we are and what we're doing. So we're all just
(07:00):
sitting in there, live on here like to put the
yogurt on your skin?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So so pulling Curtin back.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So it was this live or prereck it was live
fuck me and yeah, and so we're just sitting there like, oh, okay, yes,
and then what happens. And I think because he caught
cotton that we didn't know who he was or what
was going on. He sort of he wasn't very forthcoming
with like you know, as well with in his rights too.
(07:27):
But I was wondering, like, is he gonna take this
by the scruff of the neck and explain what's going on.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
He's not that kind of He's not.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
He's a celebrity.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Shift.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
He was just like, well, if you guys can't be
figuring out who I am, I'm not going to And
it was the and the atmosphere in the room, and
then he walked out, and then I think it was
Prooves that came and it was just like, do you
guys know who he is? Well, no, I think someone
out in the office got a photo him. Nah, celebrity chef.
He's made a new flavor of yogurt or whatever, and
it's a fundraiser, come and get josh Immit's yoga and
(07:56):
all the proceeds go to skin cancer.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Like, well, Kevil Proves to come on say that beforehand.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I don't know, if I was president, could have been
in it.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Trained under Gordon ram he was he was Gordon Ramsey's guy.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I would have been massively beneath him. Weren't just asking
to be put yoga on your skin to stop skin cans?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well you probably can. He was probably going, I know
we've done.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
This segment before, but we talked about these before, but
worst interviews I've ever done. We had another one. There
was a fish market, a new fish market opened up
here in Auckland, and they were like, as a promo,
we should get someone in from the fish market. We're like, sure,
that'd be weird. This guy showed up with a full
styrophone box full of one of every fucking fish that
(08:41):
they sold at the fish market and brought it into
the studio and I was like, dud, do you understand
our radio station, no one can see the fish, and
he's pulling them out with his hands, showing us all
that the hag version.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's first for.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
A TV interview, great for a TV interview, But and
he didn't stand anywhere near a microphone, so we couldn't
actually hear what was going on.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And the.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
In the studio of Squid octopus as first. That first
he goes, I can leave this here if you.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Want, no wonder, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I was one of the worst. Was was kaim mo
Wana related was one of the worst in with Josh
Homie where I spilled kinjuana juice backstage in his in
his dressing room.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's right, and he muscles.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
He wasn't happy. No bluff oysters. He wasn't happy. He
was not and fair enough. I mean it's stunk and
it would have reaped like the longer it's set around
that kim Wana juice and it's a great gig. Actually,
I reckon by the time he ended up playing the
gag later on that because it was during the day
before and he would have just been hanging out in
(09:44):
that kio Wana juice all afternoon and he had his
kids back there with a blow up bloody bouncy castle
in his room as well. It's a giant room here.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And they're like, Josh, just before you go on stage,
make kids do this quick interview. It'll help I sell
a few tickets for the christ show.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
He he was onto it and fair enough.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
No wacky gags.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
What have you got boys to juice? That's exactly. That's
he was at that time as well, where he was unhappy.
He's much happier now. He was unhappy at the time.
He's off the gear.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I was that the gear that was making him myth
and I believe Oh yeah, I'm not breaking any news.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's talked about this. Oh crack?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Is that myth? I think it's myth. I think it
was a myth.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is that what that ad with benvoice was shows your crack? Yeah?
Oh wow, I knew that was the thing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, okay, that sort of makes sense. He's coming off
the glass Barbie.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, well he wouldn't have known where to get it here, so.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
He would have anywhere.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Or yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
He didn't know that at the time.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
They drink some waste water, you'd probably get wasted.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Speaking of bad interviews, being early refuses to work with
Princess Lara and Studio B because the worst interview of
her career was with him, although it wasn't her fault.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You say that now to hear her tell it, But.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Just didn't know who he was? Or yeah, that sucks
when you don't know, Like I would say from experience
of interviewing people who you don't know who they are
and being having an interview thrust upon you. I mean
the worst is when you not only don't know who
they are, and I've had this before, you don't know
their name. So I was once we once were interviewing
(11:31):
someone on this very not podcast, but she is, and
came into the studio and they were just they just
they walked down and they were brought in by the
by their PR person. Yes, and I feel like I
don't know who was the producer at the time.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It wasn't It wasn't even the producer. I can we
take a break here because I remember this story as well.
I was involved in this. I feel like Hanger was
the producer. Hanger was there. Yes, But let's take a
break and I'll tell you my side of the story.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Great drumming. I loved the drumming in that song. So
we're talking about terrible moments of interviews. And one that
happened here on the breakfast when during the heat era.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And it was two actors from a TV show. Yes, Yes,
I remember.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
This, Yes, And I didn't know the TV show No,
And I didn't know what the actor's names was, and
I didn't know which one was watched, and I didn't
even know their names.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, but you knew that they were on. I think
you may have even known. You might have been given
the name of the TV show. And I think you
guys were doing the whole So what's the TV show about?
You know, tell us all about it? Blah blah, how
long is the season? All that kind of, and they
were answering the questions. It was the two actors, an
actor and an actress, and then a PR person all
in the studio, and you guys did two bits with them,
(12:53):
so you talk to them, we do a song, came
back talking. I remember this because while the song was playing,
Hangar came out into the thing and goes, does anyone
know who the fuck these guys are? And we're out
in the office and we're like no. It was another
one of those power persons just brought them through.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Information hadn't been passed on, and I was like no,
and I said, I've got an idea. And I came
in and said, can I take a photo of you
guys for our socials and we'll tag you what's your
Instagram handle? To the actor and the actress, what's your
Instagram handle? I went back out look them up on Instagram,
(13:32):
found their names, takes them to hang, and he put
them in the dock.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's how it happened.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yes, that's how that got something.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Meanwhile, on he Alive, me and Heath floundering, and Heath
was floundering, next level floundering like he was just looking
at me, like you sort this out, and man, I
should have just come clean to said Lock. I don't know,
but that's all. You can't do that. I don't know
(14:00):
who you are. I'm sorry about this. I'm sorry about
I'm not trying to be rude, but I should have
thrown Hanger under the bush. Our producers had a shudder.
He normally explains to us, the guests that we have,
you've just come on a little earlier than we thought,
and I'm sorry. Normally I do. I looked this over
like the ten minutes before, and I haven't had a
(14:20):
chance to I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
You should have gone I'm so sorry. Remind me of
your name again, and she would have gone, Alice, no Elie,
of course, I know your first name. Your last name, Alice, Oh,
Alice Smith Sorry, yes, Alice smith Man.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's good Maniah. I like that. I think as well.
They were thrust him with about ten seconds to go
in the song, so it.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Was like, fuck, it's just because I remember.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Singing for your supper those days.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, because you must have shot a look through in
the studio, because Hanger comes out and he goes, we
don't know who these people. We don't have their names,
does anyone? Because he asked me if I had like
a press, No, I've got nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm just reliving the moment now. It was so embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I don't know how relatable this is to anyone listening
to this. I don't know how many probably interviews the
average person does. But it's it's the equivalent of all
the fear you have a public speaking, combined with all
the fear that you have of forgetting someone's name. You know,
when you've been hanging out with someone for too long.
It might have been like all nights your mate's mate,
You've been at the puble night or whatever, and you're like,
I fucking just did not catch this guy's name.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
What do you do? And it's combined with that nightmare
that you sometimes have where maybe you're in a school
production and you've forgotten all of your lines. Yeah, you
still have to do the school production. Or you go
and to an exam and you've forgotten all of the
answers because you have done no study. So you've got
that in a real life situation.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Oh yeah, it's it's brutal. Yeah, I don't know what
to do with Uh. Luckily we have not had that yet.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
No, I don't think we'll ever be. I've done it.
I've had it too many times now in my life
to ever have to do it again.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
We should turn it into a segment. We wrote it
ambushes us with the guests, and we're going to run
for the worst.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
No, because the poor guest is to come in. Imagine
that turning up. But that's the suck thing. It's like
these people have made an effort to come into the studio.
You know, they've got up early in the morning. You
feel so stink. It's like the least you can do
is at least know who they are.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, we're the flip side of that where we knew
exactly who the guest was and they didn't come on
the show. Kevin Hart, Yep, we'll just pick that name
back up. He was in and he did like an
hour over at Flavor. I don't know how she managed this,
but Athena went to his concert and the very next
day he came and hosted the show with her for
an hour, and his people said, if he gets a chance,
(16:38):
he'll come in and do a quick bit with you guys.
And so we were like, great, we're going to tease
this all show. Kevin Hart's coming up on the show
later on, and we even had up on the Instagram
story photos off Kevin Hart because he was in the
building just and iHeart we pulled the Pharaoler.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
We put a push notification on Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That means it must have been very into Patrya.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Goes government emergency, iHeart push notification, personal phone call and
and in the end all we managed to get was
a photo with him and we went in there. I
s star struck. Oh, we're from the other station across
(17:23):
the thing. We said that you were coming on the show,
but like all good if not, we'll just make a
whole thing about how like you didn't come on the show,
and he goes, haha, yeah, and then took.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
The photo kicked that out.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
He is tiny man, And also I've I've looked I've
looked at that photo recently and it's a great advert
for the big brown, slim town. It makes me it
looks like the before photo, you know what I mean,
and then the after photo is me. Now, I'll dig
it out for you. I think you'll be surprised. I
think you'd be surprised.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It helps as well when you had a really small
person beside you, knowing a classic Gulliver.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Oh looking fucking enormous.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, and when that person stands in the middle and
they always kind of slightly back in your kind of.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
To Brian Adams, Yeah, I gullo at him massively and
he was trying to avoid standing beside me because he's
quite small, and he was trying to stand inside Hillary.
You're real white on for Hillary. Yeah, like she said
after it, she goes, wasn't me. It was Brian Adams
giving me in the glad eye the whole time. I
was like I think he was, and he would not
(18:33):
stand beside me, but he kind of had to in
the sit up to for it to work the photo.
And he hated me. God, he hated me for that. Well,
you were blocking him, are you totally casting a shadow
over him? Right? That's enough for today. Yeah, we're gonna
go and do some filming.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Oh, yes, we do too.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
I if you're looking for the photo, just found the photo.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Show you.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Oh do you want to come and have.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
A lot.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Fault I got?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh my god, look how think you are?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We were there at flyav Win Win friend and fifty
two weeks ago, Jared, that's all I can tell you.
That's that six years ago, seven years ago.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
All right then, an end listener
