Speaker 3: Spent a lot of time around an oven. Like.

32
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I was listening to a great podcast between two pers

33
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: and they're saying, you were brought on as a researcher.

34
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: At first, Mikey's like, because you're reading the news for

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: him on the radio, and he was like, come on

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: board as a recent hardly a researcher.

37
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: I think I was doing a Bachelor of Communications at

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: the time, and so he's like, oh, do you want

39
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: to be and blah blah. I was absolutely, this is

40
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: a great thing. So then I was doing some research

41
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: and then next thing you know, I was doing some

42
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: kind of reports. And that was how it all started.

43
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: I remember watching you guys and wondering you'd always do

44
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: these naughty things, and I was like, do you get

45
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: in trouble for that?

46
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: Well no, some people said you probably shouldn't have done that,

47
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: and we said, oh, well, we just kind of got

48
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: carried away, and they went, oh, there was so much

49
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: money and TV in those days.

50
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: Because obviously you did that when you when in the

51
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: show sort of transformed into YouTube touring around the country

52
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: as well. On the sellout to us.

53
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: It was actually and originally it was a show called

54
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: Rust in My Car. But I mean the thing that

55
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: we're most famous for, this gay Gore piece that we did,

56
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: was a complete accident. It really came off the back

57
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: of the Miss New Zealand contest nineteen ninety eight Miss

58
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: New Zealand Contest at the Dunedin Workingmen's Club that we

59
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: went to. We had a huge night, nobody slept next

60
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: thing and though we're being driven down to the southernmost

61
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 3: point of the South Island Slope Point and on the way,

62
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: they just like stopped by this trout that set up

63
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: a shot. And I actually don't remember that. I have

64
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: no memory of why we were saying what we were

65
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: saying or anything like that. And when it came to

66
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: be edited, I was surprised.

67
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: So you said Gore was the gay capital of New Zealand. Yeah,

68
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: that's just to bring the audience up to speed and Gore.

69
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: They weren't happy at the time.

70
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: No, but the Mirror at the time Mariog said, we

71
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 3: are not the gay capital. We are not with a

72
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: country western capital or the Brown Track capital, but we

73
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: are not. I think her coat was there are no

74
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: gay people in Gore at a different place, a.

75
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 4: Different time, different Yeah, move on the studies. It's not

76
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: what Meanwhile, Mike Putt watching, he's.

77
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: The head boy of Gore High and so there that's

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, they have a can newsboy of the nineties.

79
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: Then transitioning into the naughties, eating media Lunch had its

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: own controversies as well. And I remember you got into

81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: the show's Sensing Murder, which was about psychics and them

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: sort of trying to solve crimes telepathically, and then the

83
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: person came up to you. The psychic came up to you.

84
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, dear Weber not happy, No, she wasn't well. Yeah,

85
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: I think we called it sensing bs and and she

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: was a very popular show, that hugely popular show, but

87
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: they always just seemed to fall short when it came

88
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: to actually finding the body. We're just finding out that

89
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: final thing. Oh no, we've run out of time. I

90
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: keep looking. We've got more time. No, no, no, we've run

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: out of time. So I have to move on to

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: a new murder so and then yeah, she didn't like it.

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: And then she came up to me, I think it

94
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: was at the TV Awards and she she just said, Hi,

95
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: I'm dead and I said, oh, no, I know who

96
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 3: you are, and then she just laid She later kind

97
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: of a really intense pash on me. It was, but

98
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: it was. It was a hate patch. Have you guys

99
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: ever been.

100
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: It's quite sad runting on so many levels.

101
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: I know, I think I probably could have head her

102
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: up on charges, but anyway I didn't. But yeah, it

103
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: was this really I could just feel the hatred coming through.

104
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: It's really intense. But I say nineties, nineties nineties for me,

105
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: for some reason, I remember more of it than I

106
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 3: do the two thousands.

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520
