I think it was the 0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:02.640 lung cancer. Yeah, I think about it. 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.080 But everything looked better because you know they release a 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.000 smoke machine on TV shows. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:07.200 Yees. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.280 Yeah, Like you'll have noticed in Game of two Halves 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.480 they're pumping that stuff out because you need to have 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.720 that smoke in the air for the lights to work 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.039 and everything to look good. Well, we was we should 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.480 just put a bit of nicotine in the old and 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.880 the old smoke machine, and then just we'd have the 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:22.960 most chilled episode of Game and two halves of all 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.200 the time. Five taps on the bottom of this. For 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:27.399 some reason, someone send us a bunch of vapes. I 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.120 think we must have talked about it on a podcast 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.000 or something, and then someone sent us a million vapes. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.399 And now I was like, well, can you vape in 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.640 the studio? You've you've tested it up there and Hosking. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.720 That comes in quite strong, that one you've tested it 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.520 up there in the old Hosking studio. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.840 Yeah. He hadn't mentioned anything about it, No, he hasn't. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.960 He's mentioned a lot about the crumbs and food I 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.960 leave lying around, but nothing about the vaping. I think 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.840 it's sort of well, you've got to go through here 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.960 to do plas Allen before it gets to and then 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.120 a night show before it gets to Hosking. So of 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.160 course that so the air conditioning deals with Tyler's rampant vaping. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.240 It was the first thing that my co host Tyler asked, 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.800 he us, how do you feel about vaping in the studio? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.840 And I said, I feel very good about it? Great? Great, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.480 Sybarnet wasn't into it. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.919 So you talked to did Jerry get you on the 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.680 former Matt and Jerry show last week? Talk about iffing 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.919 with m H Yeah, yeah, he did. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.920 Well, I'm the mate as well, this is my costing 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.959 So when they first when they first pitched that to me, 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.160 I was like, well, are you guys coming from me? 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.040 But you're concerned about a double cross? Yeah. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.120 And also so their idea was that every every morning 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.720 I somehow vandalized the studio. Yeah, to sort of do 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.040 a little bit of active terrorism, maybe move remove the 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.400 ink from the printer, yeah, or run the dice and flat, Yeah, 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.720 run the diceon flat, or take a screw out of 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:50.720 his chair or something like that. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:51.560 Yeah. Yeah. 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.400 But then what they don't understand is this isn't my 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.160 costing studio, this is now mad Heath Studio. So at 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.320 that point you are yeah, you're just vandalizing your net, 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:02.400 but I will still do it. 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.720 Yeah, have you have you had a shot at anything yet? 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.320 Or are just my general pigginess has been causing problems 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:09.679 up there. 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.520 There's a very different attitude, Like Hanaki's just sort of 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.400 like a student flat big time. There's just crap everywhere 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.480 and it's sort of a family vibe. So I sort 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.040 of took that feed up on the desk. Yea food 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:24.040 on the floor, Yeah, vaping in the studio, yeah, drinking 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.360 on that kind of vibe to upstairs, and it's. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.639 It's just very different. It's very different. Yeah, well they 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.520 need a bit of that, maybe a little bit of culture. 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.000 Yeah, like to explain that the studio set up in 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.680 the Hadaki studio, there's like a vent in the ceiling 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:43.640 is there are most offices, and in there is confetti 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.520 from a boat giveaway we did like five years ago.

But it was a huge positive for us, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:14.560 And yesterday on one of the radio shows, like having 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.520 those guys just in their environment for the week creates 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.560 that sort of level of intent that you need and 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.800 like maybe they'll maybe we're slightly off a little bit, 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.120 and those guys just bringing their presence, their knowledge, their 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.520 experiences coming in for a few days, and you know, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.480 we had a couple of injuries at that time, so 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.120 you know, kind of just timing is everything, and the 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.680 time for us for them to come in and import 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.240 was was really good.
