  • Good easy listening stuff

    Some good episodes from the guys who have an easy manner with people drawing them into conversation. Most favourite so far has to be the Simon Barnet episode. Least favourite is the Les Mills episode. His evaluation of Jacinda is so far off it’s laughable. Good show. Worth a listen.

  • Sponsorship Sell-Out

    A real shame to hear ads supporting gambling in Aotearoa. Cashing in on, and promoting, such a harm causing thing.

  • This one hit different

    I’m just wanting to let you know how much your podcast with Simon Barnett resonated with me. My daughter Megan died following a 15 month battle with a GBM brain tumour. Like Simon says it’s not something we’re ever going to get over, rather I like to explain it as the grief is something that you learn to walk beside rather than behind, if that makes sense. Waking up every day to a world without someone you love in it is unexplainably painful. Her life had only just started, she was 28.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike King: Comedy, Rock Bottom & the Truth About I Am Hope
Q: There's a 15-year-old listening who hasn't told anyone what's going on in their head. What do you want them to hear from you right now?
King says the people around the young person should stop pretending they have everything together and share their own hard experiences. He urges friends to listen without trying to fix the person, stay with them, and accompany them to get help.
Mike King: Comedy, Rock Bottom & the Truth About I Am Hope
Q: Can you link us up to 2007? Because it feels like this is a big year, because you nearly die in Melbourne, and then you have the relapse in Hong Kong, and then you decide to go sober. So is it all kind of like connected?
King describes relapsing during a trip to Hong Kong, taking drugs with the intention of dying, and imagining his daughter urging him to come home. He returned to New Zealand, stopped using, and eventually sought counselling and support.
Switching Off, Exiting Survival Mode & the Stories That Hold Us Back
Q: What's changed since you had that conversation or that realization about your hips?
Steve says he had been treating his hips as fragile and avoiding exercise, but after Dave Wood encouraged him to try movements, he began doing mobility work, lunges, and squats and reconsidered the story he had been telling himself.
Switching Off, Exiting Survival Mode & the Stories That Hold Us Back
Q: What is the habit you'd need to put in place to get off your phone when you get home between five and six?
Steve identifies switching off his phone when he leaves the office and keeping it off until the children are in bed as the habit he wants to establish.
Sex & Relationship Coach Melissa Vranjes: How to Fix Mismatched Libido & Reconnect in the Bedroom
Q: I finish really fast, like under a minute. My girlfriend swears she doesn't mind, but I feel embarrassed and want to last for longer. Is there anything I can do for this or is it all in my head?
Vranjes suggests talking openly with a partner and practicing slower self-pleasure, including edging and breath control. She recommends focusing attention on bodily sensations and connection rather than becoming preoccupied with trying not to orgasm.
