off for raw targets for to seven every weekday on radio.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
How do you always get flem in your throat whenever
you say Fellers? Now?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
No, I don't do you fear to the front, Keezy?

Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know I was looking at you that whole time.
I don't even know who you're talking about. Come on, man,
you're a shocking bastard.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Um. It's because I don't smoke cigarettes anymore that I
get the flem.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's loosened up all the flegm in the lungs. See
what you've done there is you found a negative from
giving up the darts, Like you're prepping yourself to get
back on the darts so that you don't have that
flem in your throat.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I was tempted the other day actually because I walk
the yeah for the darts, because I walked past the
dude and I just got a waft and when a yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Here, the old the old dad.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
They're good man.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
But nah, they're going to happen, man, not going to happen.
And can I just say that the fate because you
buy this like two pack of fight you sure do, man,
and it's twenty bucks Bagan and usually that is one
of those last year because I was last two and
a half three days. Yeah, about two or three days. Yeah,
it's about my average. The one this packs lasted me

(01:24):
six days. Wow, that's pretty good. It's really about to
run out now. Actually, but I've got my nicorets.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I am tapering quite a lot. How yeah, man, may
is not fair. We've still got thirteen days. He's that man.
I am not going to let you down. Keys. I
believe in you.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Man, I am going to fucking I'm gonna nail this, man,
I feel I know.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
The good thing about this time is different. It's different
from the last time. It's like bettered wives. You know
this time will be different, and it's going to be different. Promise.
He's saying all the right thing.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
He is saying all the right things, and the thing
is keezy like a battered wife. You love him, Oh,
you believe in his ability to change despite all the
evidence to the contrary.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
True. True, I'm not a battered wife, and I Jason, shut.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Up, nakey. It's all going to be good, man, You're
going to be me and you.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
We're going to be in the care I guess the
issue that I've got, the sort of the hell that
I've got, the mountain really that I've got to climb,
is that you're a pathological liar. So we need to determine.
I think there needs to be a blood test, actually,
sure to determine that. While though you're going to be
on your patches, which I'm happy with. I'm fine with
a patch.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, I think we can trust Jace's word.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
I never said I was going to be on patches.
Not a bad idea though, Margie. Though I did find
that's not the same though that the patches made.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
That's right, Sorry, I've got the neckarrec Yeah. So because
last time he admitted to having a dart and had
to shout us a curry and I remember, oh yeah,
he remembered. He admitted to having half a dart, like
two days after starting he admitted it. That's right, So
we can trust you, right, yeah, totally. I mean we
can't because he lied through his teeth and his wife
the day after day. Yeah, so I think his his

(03:12):
wife who has recently quit her job. So we'll have
more free time to sort of keep an eye on
it's going to be a.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Lot of love making going and there is.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Just you. But she's I'm sure she'd keep an eye
on you. You know, I trust her totally.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
She's said a lot of things about you, which you tonight,
and I believe them complete.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Is that what you felt? She is very trustworthy.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Just quietly fell the line she's got a she's got
a dark side, I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Look at this trying to carry favor with the fellas
by check and his wife and.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Sell out his number one order. I like it, No,
I don't. I believe it. Like I also think if
we were to call her on the show once a
week and just checking, Hey, have you noticed Jase Vapor.
That's a great idea. It's a great idea.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
But the Traveler is Jason Monther is such a long time,
isn't it?

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Not?

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Really? You just take it a day at a time.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
It's what you said when you're still vaping, because I
remember saying to you, so, what's your secret? When the
you know, when when the devil creeps into your head
and starts saying, go man, just everyone, what do you do?
And you said, you look me dead in the eye.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
At a time.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
It was an incredible piece. You said, I just waited out.
I go for a little walk around and I if
I I just forget about it'll just if I give
it five minutes, another thought will pop into my head.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
And all that time Joe's sucking at hard.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Can that was when he was lying? It was an
incredible line.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Can I can I just say, oh my god, that
I did give up for four months? Everything? Everything? When
was this about a two year and a half two
years ago? And I was so four months I gave
up for and just and that's what I did. I
knew the way my brain works, I just need to

(04:54):
don't do something else and I'll.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Forget My point. My point is not whether you can
give up or not. And this is my point. Was
you lie to my face?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
So when you gave up for four and a half
months money? Do you remember you and I gave up? Yeah,
both of it. But do you remember feeling way better? Not?
Especially the whole Lucky Big Show week days from four
on radio Hurarchy, Remember they Big Show podcast?

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Can I say that you're right about the flem so
when you get up you can smoke and the flegme
is fine. But when you stop smoking really weirdly, then
your body starts clearing it. You start getting clear for
a while, for quite a while. How long you've.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Smoked and it's funny, you know, like there's some smoke
is like.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
My but you're a you're a different smoker than me,
because I did get the smoker's cough and.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
You never I've never had it.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
I'm almost grateful that I've got it, because it's a
sort of a sign that's yeah, she thinks it's fucked.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
And but I I know people that you know, they
get up in the morning and just be hacking their
lungs out.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
And that The thing is, though that could be you,
one could be me.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well it would have been by now, I thought, I'm
almost tempted.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
You know, for how long has.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
It been that you would have been thirteen or fourteen
when you first spark to data.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Near fourteen fifteen, So how long has that been then?
But like.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Twenty four twenty five yearssy? God, But when I say that,
you know, that's like one, that's right, it's not it's
not proper smoking.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
When I started as a teenager, I couldn't smoke when
it was hot. I couldn't believe that people smoke smoke
when it was hot. Yeah, it's too hot to smoke.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Whereas now and then you just yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
I mean but what I could do is I could
just call it now. I could just finish this one
and just go all right.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah. But I won't, no, of course, but I mean
I might. I might. We'll see how we go. I
believe in you, Jays.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Thanks man, it's so good. It's like Kevin a a dog.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Really, he came home and waggon his tails.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Like takes a kicking and just keeps on coming back.
What it is is Jason. Jason's holding a ball, attending
he's exactly right. I keep believing it. Where is that
in your hand? You sneaking time He's going.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
To throw it, and you sprint off down the beach
there and it's like, where's the ball?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Where's the ball? You turn around and Jason's fucking rapping
his god a dat One day he would throw it, man,
I know he will. I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna
have to.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, I know it's difficult, it's gonna it's going to
be a challenge, but I say.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
That thing in the world. Yeah, certainly to give up. Yes,
I don't crave the purse. It's the cigarettes at the moment.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, give me true that.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I mean the great Arry Humphries, you know who was
a ferocious alcoholic, Dame Edner, ferocious alcoholic. And you know
that was the thing for him that he found by
far the hardest thing to give up.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Was the Sean pen has just embraced it.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, he's just gone, yeah, fuck it, I love it.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm just going to do it, he said.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
And this is the kind of way that you can
talk to yourself to make yourself believe anything.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
He said.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
I've gone with the motto find something that you love
and let it kill you.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yes. Great. And that's how he justifies that.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
That's how he justifies smoking. You know, a couple of
packs a day. He looks pretty good doing it to
be feedal Wow. Yeah, I mean he's getting it away.
It's sixty five. Oh yeah, he's pretty fucking cool for
a sixty five year old.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
He looks pretty fit. He's a wrinkly old bastard.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Now. Yeah, but my this the guy that we were
pretending was jas I have to find in one battle
after another to find Yeah, okay, well nothing else. What
about going for a walk with your new boots? I
do that anyway. What about we're in the same hoodie
every day for three weeks?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
What I have started doing, what I had started doing,
is leaving it behind when I do go walking.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Why aren't you leaving behind when you come to it?
I could do the good thing about the lie. You
were telling us that you were leaving it behind to
continue the lie.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Oh no, I was bringing it with me. Yeah, a
hole in your pocket. Yeah yeah. It can be a
good start, like tapering into May one year to rule
them all. Yeah, start leaving it at home.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
But it is that thing, though, isn't it. It's all
or nothing? So yeah, it's not going to be you're
not going to tape it down. You're not going to
stick to taping down. You have to give it apple,
keep going, that's right, and so leaving it at you
just won't do it.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
It's going to be hardcore easy. But we'll get them made.
The modes are going to be good. Oh god.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
We should do what we should do as well for
content as do a diary. Yes, have you doing a
diary about how you're finding it? Because it's like a
lost love.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
It is. There's a muse, go get one hundred bucks out.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Right now, I've told you. Like my bro, my eldest bro,
he was a smoker for ages and he hasn't smoked
for like twenty thirty years. And oh mate, he was
he fucking punched the darstard. No, he's a big bastard
and he to this day still craves a cigarette. And

(10:14):
that's like thirty years down the track. Instead he goes
to the gym.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yes, beats the ship out of people and me grim
you can start doing that, Jase, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
I could just start beating up well. And that's the
other thing that we have to consider too. Of course
I want to be in a who of a movie.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
I'm considering it. That's why that's why I want to
do the diary. Yeah. But also, Jason, when you gave
up for that four months, you actually weren't. No, I wasn't.
You were fine and I was fine on the gum.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
And the most fucked thing about that was it was
literally one day sitting on my deck going I want
a cigarette, and I went and brought a pack and
that was me done over.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
I didn't even go to trigger it. No, There was
no stressful moment.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
It was literally just going, I want a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's just up the road.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Fucking hell, And four months it didn't even come into
my head.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
I just went bur It does go that.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
That's the beauty of the addiction, doesn't It'll test you
out every now and then. You don't think if I
don't want one. But it's always the thing is it's
always that you never beat it. No, it just chooses
its time.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yes, waits until you're out your weakest, keazy.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Fuck what did I really don't now?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Of course I would love for Jase to deliver, but
I just you know, experience tells me there's money to
be but this.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Is easy pickens. You might have to start declaring this
is income. The amount of times it's amazing, isn't it.
But then I'm no easy. I want only.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
The only reason I think this way of you is
because I'm no better. I'm exactly the same.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, that's what you've got, insight, geezy, whereas I'm an idiot.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
What what I.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Want you to do is open up a hoidy j
account for all the money that's going to pour in man.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
One hundred percent. Actually, I will open a separate ban
account to be called Hoity jam Count. And then when
Mogi pays us Man, we'll go buck wildly.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
