Miles and I also male brice I know I don't know if you'll have you had anything to do with this But a lot they got a lot of features on later on in the morning. Oh, that's one thing. I did hear after seven Sometimes after eight. Yeah, and after right that that malson and male were doing a lot more stuff They spread their wings I didn't I don't miss that So I don't know how that we What do you do? What do you mean up to bro? Well, what do you do in your time? Well, you look like you'll keep busy around your house That's the thing so we were selling a house So there's a lot to do around the house So a couple of things that I can talk about right now because I water blasted we've got this massive retaining wall Can I just say can I just say roger when I were left radio sport and came back to the rock? Yeah, I got a similar amount of time. You have a gardening lady. You can't work. I went to South Africa. I went Argentine I went on a great track. Roger you actually did gardening leave literally you literally did what you're supposed to do

In for three months. Yeah, so one thing Had this massive retaining wall like 20 meters long about four meters high and there was had never been water blasted No, like 20 years. It sounds like you're in a prison working It's one of those And how did it go for your orange? So that took me like best part of a week. So water blast And what I've done I had to go to the chiropractor last weeks and I've got What I've done is of water blasted too much and I'm sorry You've water blasted too much the gripping the water blaster the trigger and it's um seized up my elbow slash forearm I can barely Stretch it out without being like and I had to go to the chiropractor now what took like a chiropractor is just for backs and spines Yeah, I know He grabbed my forearm and collected and back into place and I got yelped And he's put a like a puppy and he's what he's done because I've been water blasting too much

He's I have to do these uh forearm stretches. Should I miss you? I've missed you so much I end up like like that palm against the wall and stretch it out for a minute or two every day And that is you and I don't do minutes What about vigorous up and down actions What about when you what about we you know how you're the old tazzy tiger Can't believe I can't believe in Dylan's point of the sound too Can't believe you you're blaming water blasting on a masturbation It's what you're doing there Have you just have you just Have you been semen blasting Also So there's that and there's another injury that that happened to me just over the weekend

Which I'm going to get to next as well Yeah, it's great to be back. There's a few weeks really weird without you Yeah, yeah, then obviously like any time you get a new missile or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, you move on And it's so good you move on Honey, you're in phase And you think of the old one you just remember the good time Yeah, but then you forget about the bad stuff They weren't too many good times And then now you're back come back on it's great to be back mate But you've we just told us how you've uh who you sound masturbating Yeah Yeah You're a physio for uh for a sore forearm I had so much I can barely bend my right arm. It's actually so because I was intriguing that it's right Water blasted water blasted for the best part of a week and of um The chiropractor said All the you know using the trigger of the water blast with my hand

Has seized the muscles up and the enough. This is what he said. No oxygen was getting to the muscle For some great because I'm surprising For a great length of time. This is why my muscle and the joint is I started to do these stretches Couple of minutes a day to sprinting stretch it out. Uh, that's so that's the one injury. That's the worst one I know for a fact you even got a cheap water blaster that doesn't have the trigger That doesn't have the lock on the trigger that keeps it down. Yeah, the trigger that's broken. Yeah That's that's why yeah, so that that there's that one Another water-based injury too So grace my lovely daughter had a 25th birthday in the weekend. Yeah, and munga fire So we got a bit it's quite steep some of the section. So you got a massive bit of land A bit of a flex our long and slide water in this video He's like here's my slide and watch this Just panning panning panning panning around big big big. Yeah, so she wanted to water slide and the the idea was it midnight Everyone was gonna get on the water slide Everyone was gonna slide down and yeah, and so yeah, that's what I did and I'd had a few and it was the

It was Wild weather up north. So it was Storms and wind and rain. So what I've done is I bent I bent back my little finger You can see that here and so I bent it right back on the water slide and it's gone It's gone all black as you can see and so I can barely bend that as well That's so that's a new injury from this is the same hand that I nearly lost my fingers on the lawnmower So this is that enjoyable morning with 31 minutes And we're gonna do a injury-based topic and That's incredible.

Dan good morning. Thanks for coming in morning Yeah, I'm bored all on our first show back. So good. So this fight. It's not long not long to go a couple of weeks There's no way in here come losing to a French Cobb on There's some things that aren't gonna happen. That is not gonna happen This is a thing that you're fighting a guy here's French French army special forces soldier. Well, he used to be So and I understand as well. I've seen he's got to he can't take a gun in there Kenny He's got two arms two legs in a face like a smacked ass

Oh Yeah, you could leave now we would have had a great end Well, I don't know how much you know about the scarves. He's used to be in the army, but um sweet If How close did you get to get into the army though? You wanted to get into the armed forces, didn't you? Once upon a time. Oh, what do I say? Yeah But I don't like getting told what to do. Yeah, that's a major No, that's right. I googled and then I googled his New Zealand at war and it said now it's not at war with anyone No, and I said well, I'm not going to join the army if I can't kill anyone So in a fight I don't waste the time to stand around with my dick in my hand Um, thanks Oh

Do you get to enjoy and relax just over that period? I mean, I we see a little bit of you on it's the It's either it's either small clips of men fighting with the back-out scraps that we'll get to soon Or it's real wholesome stuff with your family out of it. It's a restaurant having dinner A man of extremists. Yeah, but you have essentially been in camp now for a couple of months really because this is such A tight-tune around From the Aman fight straight into straight into this with BSD like do you get much time to relax both that's between I don't really have May I don't even get I don't even have a big light. Yeah, it was a bit of a was a bit of a pain in the ass I went and caught up with two friends and they're both on ankle bracelets. I always like they can You know, we didn't even go out If you didn't be able to It's because those are clubs you can't see You don't see them at the gym. Yeah, well, they can't come to you

So I only saw a couple of friends and then we've got another fight Yeah, how did that um interested in that for obviously you see fight fans as robs Rob roach. Oh, you've been away that long First um, how did that come about that it is such a quick turnaround because it's bloody exciting for Dan hooker fans So we get to see you again so soon Now I think like because I did the video straight after where I was like man, I'm smashing my car nose face and I was just you know, he was um He just drew the short shore. I was just like just showing the UC that I wanted to get back in there I knew that the injuries were just superficial when that Uh, and so man, they just chucked me in for a quick turnaround I knew I wanted that on that card Just because it's sick close time. Yeah, and fighting out. Yeah, you saw vox on the card Yeah, to tell you know you absolutely everyone on the card. So it's like that one that one gets you excited And then to just get a good opponent too Where he's he's a zero four five one street rank number eight I was expecting I have to fight down a couple of times, but That's a fight that that puts you straight back in the much

Just yeah, like how long does it take you to think about a fight that's been offered to you but you'd be matched with like is it Brave you to assume I think it'll That's what I was hoping for It's like you just like And then like the UFC medical team is all pissed off. They're like oh damn You know, he's gonna because they took me for a scan after fighting. They're like he's a You got a broken nose. I was like well, that's from there. I'm still refusing to medically clear it Like that the UFC sent me there like you need medical clearance. We are nose. I was like I'm not getting medical clearance from it injury. I got it weighings. I was like from the head part I'm like out of principle. I was like you guys let me do one fight with it Yeah, I know why not let me do another fight with it. I mean to be fair you wouldn't that I got a new doctor Wasting 15 minutes of my time yeah to get medically cleared for a fight Nah, it's it's I'm a man of principle

Then stay there then hangman hooker UFC 325 and Sydney first of feb And we're back with Dan. Let's talk more about it's one minute scraps is another one coming up as well Dan the hangman hooker He is back UFC fighter UFC 325 and Sydney first of feb Finding a Frenchman Benoit Saint Denise who nicknames nicknames and what you make of this down he calls himself the god of war great neck now Which is a great nickname. What do you make of it? This the hangman exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome back, man. How do you how do you go about beating him? Obviously because I You know tell me if I'm wrong. I'm sure I'm wrong But stylistically, I feel like he's a more entertaining fight from the viewer point of view to watch maybe then someone like you last Who loves to receive the meat actually likes to come forward. Yeah, it's gonna be a it's gonna be a good fight Like he's obviously self-boy. He'll try to check me on the ground, but yeah, it's just gonna be just keep it on the feet and beat him up

You're talking about Exactly right You talk about your nose got broken in the last fight hell how many times do you think you've broken your nose? Yeah We're in the 20 something That's that's crazy to the weekend So I mean, do you think you'll get sued after your fight because you know after you for oh you'll never finish fighting will you I get you say yeah Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not fun the time. Yeah Now onto some other fighters But we've got a little bit to get to But we had the Balkan bear in at the end of last year for the first time all six foot five or whatever the reason So he said I had small feet down. He's a unit. What a good dude He seemed like a great guy when he was in here. Good fun

What do you see his chances being at heavyweight entertaining the day? Just big enough that it takes one punch, you know what I mean like they can they can change their lives than one punch He's heavyweight boys like four fight fights. You can find yourself for title. So yes guys are limo. He's athletic. He's talented You can do whatever you once with the sport, but you know, it's like one punch and your life's ruined Heavyweight Heavyweight is a treacherous division Any news with Carlos albergue as well. Obviously. Yeah He's back in the jungle. He's straining hard all the boys are Israel's in their cries in their Carlos is in there and I think they're they're all looking to fight in the first quarter of this year Everyone will be back in action. It was a bit of physics. We were talking about it before the show Yeah, was it last week? They announced that is he is fighting soon. Yeah, how's he looking towards his fight? No, he's looking good. He's looking good. I'm one we're not gonna say anything bad about him It's cool to have him back in there, you know

He's a fighter fighter like you know a lot of people Oh, man, you know you got nothing left to prove, but it's like it's just in him It's just it's just what he wants to do with his time You know what I mean? It's like the most constructive thing that man could be doing Yeah, it's time is getting out there and performing for everyone So you know you can be grateful that you can still have like legends like that and you'd be able to watch him Now you you caught up with comedian Matt rife you might have seen it on Instagram listen to Matt rife does a lot of great crowd work I was so distracting.

We're not the dad's one out Yeah, one of the dad's got $50,000 in time for Christmas, which is like the whole idea behind the whole thing But next one. Yeah, we're taking it back to the backyard Got our first show, which was King of the Streets. We've got the the name of King of the Streets on the line And our the doc is putting up a hundred thousand dollars. So there will be a hundred thousand dollars richer

That's a lot of money and then we're just bringing out This one's just the best of the best obviously the first King of the Streets was Like no active freight fighters, and I had never had a little Winsh about that, you know, all this food like okay anyone anyone can enter so this one's open anyone could enter So hang on could Carlos all bring into this check your UFC contract before we start he's already He already tried to he already tried to do a lot of moustache and You can't be that handsome Damn hang on, okay, it's just when much makes us come back So he's taking you on before How does this sound like what are you way much could you does he Does he what are you already roughly weighing your look at big lunch?

Five days after my fight I'm when when you're gonna come in at the end of last year I put it out on Instagram anyone got any questions for Hangman lots questions came through but one that stuck with me with the one minute scraps Ever thought of doing tradies, you know, like yeah, I love tradies Yeah, one of each trade. Yeah, and then some sort of battle off to find that who do you think it'd be the toughest trade? I reckon probably a Jaintlay or be a hard man Yeah For these first Kiwis has there been much sort of making this international yeah, yeah, like there's obviously After this one, I'm just gonna go meet with the doctor and probably it's like the craziest thing because you have obviously Like they've had people reach out to him Be like I'll bring it to Dubai and stuff out there, but I'm like you're kind of like loser. What are the That's so very cool what I want to do is I want to do that like because I feel like they're most untapped Marker and the best fighters in the world especially the best heavyweight fighters are in the islands

I'd love to go around and just do island by island and then do like a ocean out What's going to happen in Australia? Imagine going to Samoa and doing just popping up on the beach and getting 32 cops from Samoa Throwing lunchboxes at each other. I can see it happening Down the Hangman hooker.

Waste him That's a mug Thanks for coming in man. Where's appreciate Well And so Bryce here we are Monday morning. Yeah, just up to help us seven and something you want to mention on the show ask a question To us here on the show this morning. Yeah, well you're on our first show And you listening as well And we were sort of discussing it a little bit you say when we had to catch up Yeah, it's that classic thing Your first day back at work like my question is at what point when when

When is it fine to have time off once you come back? Oh You might have had whatever leave it was in your work. Maybe it was two days. Maybe it was a week maybe it was three weeks Whatever it was maybe the three months like Roger Come back. Yeah, at what point are you now allowed to leave off because I know I asked this because I know you know they put it on Instagram you'll see those stories of if you apply for the such and such Yeah, yeah, this amount of weeks off And you want to get in and get it done first. Yeah, like Jay and Duncan a great afternoon show that are back today as well The legends it becomes a race between us and them sometimes as to who applies for those special days Of course and who has to work who gets the time off of course Yeah, you know, and so brice alpha show back today Monday. Yeah, when do you think it would be appropriate to be able to have yeah Time off for whatever it is. Yeah, for me. I'll just have three months off And so I had to think whoever the media works for that, but so I'm a bit different There's no way I could even be thinking of asking for any time off

For I reckon like maybe April Yeah Well, you know, what if I do one more time off in July I might like last you need another extended week off so A month off Yeah, yeah, so I can't be asking you for a few months. Yeah, I can't even think about that Yeah, I would go probably Easter yeah Have a couple of days either side of Easter. You think it's right really extended out. Yeah, but you've got to have those days Oh, and I we've had four weeks very privileged to have four weeks So enough. I've got the time now wins appropriate. Yeah, maybe around April I think okay You're going to able to preach who's now in our producers booth for good exactly this is my first full-time contract since 2022 So I've got absolutely no idea

Okay, don't idea how long until I can ask for leave maybe a couple weeks Joan Joan I do don't know For those who don't know Mitch was talking about the sixth month Not June not the movie What do you ask And look fellows and ladies you don't know, but behind the scenes. I've actually already applied for leave Of course you have You take so many days No give them the benefit of the dealt miles Yeah, we'll give it a bit of the adult win win. I'm not gonna be here tomorrow Tomorrow one you're taking the second day off of the Yeah, you take so you take the piss you are like I'm going here. I'm going that I'm doing this

I'm taking these days. I might be here You can't do this second day back There's no way That is why why tomorrow? It's been approved. I can't believe it You're honestly I don't know what is in your country and cute to you, but you're taking the first To good wow make you one day on one day That's because we're gonna come back and play let's play a song for price Working hard to make the living I'm bringing shelter from rain taking tomorrow off. We're just coming back I am poop I'm in these bansies the working class man. He's Australia's New Zealand's working class man is bright I'll first show back. I'll go that's rich from you. You worked eight months last year. I'll have it from miles and I'll have it from miles. And even crates can go up. I turned up. I'll even take it from Mitch can get me back to it.

But I will not have it from you after having three months off. I'll look, I'm in a massive glass house for our own stones. I really am tonight. But it's our first show back. And I just joined us. You've just announced. Because you asked the question, you know, we can you ask for leave. You're having tomorrow off. Yeah. The new. Can you tell us why? Well, a little bit of it's not your business. But I am, I am. Yes, back for one day. And then I will be off tomorrow. No, I'm having a, it's not fun. I'm not actually going to do anything that fun. I've got to have a colonoscopy. Yes. You've had these before, bros. I've had two before. I've got to have them every five years. Because my dad had like a stomach cancer sort of thing. And he had to get half his bowel. I mean, he was probably about my age, actually. You couldn't have got this done last week. That's a great deal. So they had two options. They had the, what's the date now? Today is the 19th. They had like the 13th of the 20th. And I took the 20th. So you, so you decided. You could have taken, you could have taken.

I could have, but I was on leave. Unbelievable. I'm going to have to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. Unbelievable. That is taking the piss. That's all about it. And so for them, I need to get them, yeah. Because I mean, we should get them. Yes. The things that are needed. So I actually saw this terrible stat. I knew bowel cancer was terrible in this country. How many people we lose. But there was a news article. I don't know if anyone saw it over the break. And this lovely young father had sadly passed away. Which is just terrible for his family and friends and everything. But in the title, it had a story about, we lose 1200 New Zealanders to bowel cancer every year. Oh, that's right. It's terrible. And obviously, so colonoscopy, those who don't know, it's camera goes up your bum, but he has a look and makes sure that everything's all right, et cetera. And they can get on to things early. And so the earlier you get those screening processes done, the better chance you've got. If anything, there is to have it activated. And that's why, you know, we've had missing vining

and all of that on all of that time. Yeah. Because they want that screening and all that process to be there. But 1200, that's terrible. You know, you're talking nearly three a day, nearly two and a half Kiwis a day. And of course, you know, you can be younger, and not even know you've got it. Correct. And you're getting it checked out, right? I don't really want to do it. Like, I've got to stop eating from midday today, and you have to have this big process of drinking all this horrible stuff and then just all night. The worst thing is, I've got my mum and law here. And so there's no, I can't go use other bathroom. So I don't know privacy. You want privacy in a process like that? Because my wife's had a colonoscopy. And you've got to have all this drink, don't you? Your wife's with colon. What? Is that... Oh, right. You wife's had a colon. Oh, yeah. No, good, mate. That's a better one. Yeah, well, you beat the last one going off. And you've got to drink all this drink, and it just really cleans you out. So... That would be fun. Yeah. So I'm not looking forward to it. But it's such a small price to pay.

Given obviously the benefit of having a piece of money. So sorry, team. I could have done it last week. But I chose tomorrow. But that's just bullshit. No, well, at least... That's just bullshit. Why? Well, he could have it last week. And that's just taking the piss. Anyway. You're all here. Anyway. I'm my head Friday. Oh, this is just stupid. I'm my head Friday. What are you doing? I'm not... I'm my head Friday. Yeah. And you've got a class, man. No, it's Sunday business. I'm just on your Friday. Are you eating something to us? Have you applied for it? No. No, I told Brad last year he wouldn't remember. Anywho? What's coming up next? Bear news. Our first bear news for 2026. What's wrong? Short week. OK, Rex's... Malzick's motto for 2026. It was 2025s as well. 2023s. They all have thrown it over. Fuck it. Beat it. You beauty. She's there. Great day.

The Morning Rumble podcast. Bryce, into it this morning. Have you ever joined us? Oh, boy. Bear stories. Bear attack stories. You've always been bringing us bear news. Bryson. Oh, boy. What a story. What an interview this was to kick off your bear news segment for 2026. I believe his name is Rudy Norland. Yeah, that's him. That's him. Now, I tell you what, when you see a... We've always got the sayings of it's black fight back. If it's white, she'll be right. Well, none of these are true. I think it seems so. Never fight back against a black bear. If it's brown, stay down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where? Is that right? You told me... I don't know already. Or in New Year's. If it's brown, go down. OK. Rudy Norland is his name. Yeah. And... Mate. Well, he's been on a podcast recently. Large, cozy bear. Thank you to all the rumble listeners who sent this to me too, who are aware of bear news. I've seen this a lot on Wednesday. It's bitten his face off.

Have a listen. Have a listen. Have a listen. I didn't hear him growl. I didn't hear him roar. I didn't hear him step on branches and break them. I just saw him coming at me. I listed my gun up because I already had it in my hand. I fired it and it misfired. I spun it right back to that dead shell. Oh, gosh. The next thing I remember is his nose was about the same size as my fist. And that's one of my bear strategies to punch me in the nose if I had to, if I got to that. And I got a hole here and a hole there. And I'm assuming that he got me what I tried to punch him. But the next thing I remember after the click and I was... He had me by the jaw. And he picked me up by my jaw. Off the ground. And I could see the father running towards me. And in my first addition there, it says, you know, I yelled help me. But the more I think about it, it's like I don't think I could have said anything but I didn't have any hold of my jaw. But I know I thought helped me in my mind.

At that point, the bear bit down. And I could just hear and feel it breaking my jaw bone. Oh, my gosh. At that moment, I'm assuming I don't remember the rest of the attack. The next thing I remember is he was running the way I could just see his butt running away from me. Wow. But he actually clogged my chest. Claps my lung. Oh, my gosh. And then he bit my leg and you can tell. He bunched up my muscle right there when he bit. And that's the hole was bleeding the worse. I knew I was bleeding more out of that puncher in my leg than I was out of my jaw. Hick. Oh, hell. Hell in my view. So, and Bryce, what can he do with his jaw? He can take his chin off, bro. He literally just pulls his chin away. You know, you could hear him obviously not being on a talk. It's like this chin. It's just being like a prosthetic chin. So he can just pull it off like people pull out their teeth. Pull his chin off. That bit his face a bit of his face off. A bit like a few people at RMB.

Great. What a bear use. Man, that's hectic. What a bear new story. First one for 2026. Great stuff, Bryce. There you go. Wrong with me like Katy Perry, right? Ah. The Morning Rumble podcast. First show back to 2026, 2,000. A couple of hours to go. And Bryce, last hour. You teed up Dan, the Hangman Hooker. You have seen fun. What a great guest he was. He was awesome. He will be on the potty later on today. You can always text potty to 3520. And morning everybody. Welcome to New Zealand. Hi. Actually, a couple of things if you have just joined us. We would like some content to waste time at work with baby. Absolutely. Two things you can text. One is chin to 3520. We just had that bear use of that guy who had his chin bitten off. Ripped off by a bear. Hell of a story. Yeah. Hell of a story, Bryce, the 2026, but yes. If that is something that an interest you. Text the word chin. 3520. Conversely, if you want to see Raj with what appears to be a lot of baby oil. Lathered over his body and hitting a massive slip and slide.

Yeah. And it's gone wrong from his engine himself. Text the word slide. Yeah. To 3520. I've seen it. I've actually seen it. It looks like a corpse. It does. It's all in out of a coffin. Did you think you were going and looked faster than what you are when you then look at the footage? Yeah. When I was going down the water slide, I thought I am nailing this. I'm going so fast. And then I watched it and everyone is zipping. Yeah. Pass me so quickly. Yeah. It's so slow. So slow. It's embarrassing. Yeah. It's like what I reckon our sex tape would be like. Don't you think? If you ever thought about that, you know how like you might see some of that stuff. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The video would be way longer than my sex tape video. Mm hmm. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. Ross, you're wearing shorts. It's nice and great of you. I like familial.

This is bite ease or st husband. It's too drunk. It's great on a stick. That's the motto in 2020 and 6 for us. More on a stick. And next, brisety. This one up as well. For a Shelten Willwright drummer from Blind Spot, I am Giant. owemmsisnags talking to him. A NUCA Fel full metal orchestra. taking place in New Plymouth, Bollabrocklands, March 7th. Featuring Blind Spot, Iam Giant, and more, let's get to that next. Another band, big band, that a huge air, Blind Spot. Of course, they played with an orchestra at the rock 2000, last day of the rock 2000 countdown. Oh, it's so good. God, it was good. How good does it sound? They were awesome. And obviously now did it in the rock 2000 as well. Another podium finish for them two years in a row. Absolutely, they did. What a year they had. And it's starting off strong for them in 2026 as well. We have from Blind Spot, and Iam Giant, the drummer. Sheldon, all right.

Good morning. Hello, buddy. How are you? Good morning. Good, thank you. I could have you back, but talk. My good, well, it's good to be back, Sheldon. And you're our second guest of the day as well. So good to have you on on our first show back as well. Thank you. Because we've got lots to talk about. Thank you. Nothing, nothing, nothing sums up our show better than the two guests we've had as Dan Hooker and Shelton will write. Exactly. Exactly right. Oh, OK. Now, the minute when are you entering the one-minute scratch? Who, me? Oh, yeah. Now, right. Well, I'm more Mr. Puniverse. Yeah. He's also really. So when they do it, when they do a Mr. Puniverse, the one-minute scratch, you're going back. Mr. Bean, look alike. Oh, man. So I really injured Shelton. Did you tell Shelton your injury? No, I'm not going to bother with that. No, no, we should. I'm going to tell him how you've injured him. I'm not hangar. I saw you as something. I saw something came on my Instagram this morning where you look like a worm going down there. It will come out. It's coming all of it. God, that's a good explanation. Amazing to describe. If you want to see that, text the word slide from 3520

if you want to watch Roger's worm. Shelton, I was doing a worm impersonation and bent my little finger back, and it's very black and bruised on a water slide. Pretty lame. But anyway. We'll see you tugging into it. Yeah, they're great, Dan, you're well. Yeah. Still in the end. Oh, great to catch up, Shelton. All of us there. Hey, this is going to be huge. Manuka, you're full metal orchestra. Of course, you played with an orchestra before, but tell us what's happening in Taranakin, you plummeted Bola Broclins in March. This is going to be massive. What a line up. Yeah, man. Big day on the tools for that. So blind spots supporting the FMO for me, the orchestra. And also, I'm giant, along with our good friends, Evil Skin. So it's going to be a big day for me on the drums, basically, to an Iron Giant Ampliant spot, and then helping out with Phil as well on the main show. So we're looking forward to that. Yeah, well, so for those who don't know, Phil Rudd, obviously, ACDC is part of the drum metal orchestra, the drummer. So, and you're sort of as right-hand man as well, helping with that, so that's cool.

But how will it be playing a show Iron Giant Ampliant spot together? That's never happened before. Back in the day, 10 years ago, if you had a set that was going to happen, no one would have believed it. Not only is it a double shift for you, but also pretty cool to have both your bands playing on the same build, bro. God, I reckon. Yeah, I'm actually stoked on that, man. We're lucky enough, because there's going to be a break between Iron Giant Ampliant spot with Evil Skin. So I'll get a little bit of a breather, but definitely hitting the gym and going for a run most days now, so I'm getting ready for it. So it's going to be pretty big. Yeah, how do you train for that? Yeah. Ah, man, just practice. Just drumming, just a lot of drumming and just getting the cardio out, really, you know? Hopefully the body can hold it. Yeah, been off the bed for a little bit. I had a bit of a blowout over new years, like everyone, but trying to just pull it back a little bit, eh? Oh, yeah, same, bro. Same. More importantly, do you get paid twice? Just like, do you get the Iron Giant Fee and the Blind Spot Fee? I hate, mate, you know? I'm working hard, so you'd like to think so. And do you get like a full Rad Fee?

Yeah. Get a triple fee? Yeah, working hard, mate. Working hard, you know? So this orchestra, you play with the orchestra of Rock 2000 Countdown, which was just amazing a bit. It's really taken off now, isn't it? The full metal orchestra, because they're playing Phil Rudd, ACDC, John Tugurd, Jenny Fram, Devil Skyn, as well. One of the line-up now, it's going to be huge. Yes, yes. In fact, this will be the third one I've been involved in, and they're just getting better and better. The song's a lecture, and they'll be thinking that all the band, they're just insane. And obviously, seeing full-play drums is just something else, you know? Also, it's such an icon and, yeah. Also, that venue, bro. That venue for people who've never been to it. Yeah, I'll never be to it, actually. Oh, I can't wait, man. Yeah, it's meant to be, okay. Oh, absolutely. Outdoor venue, Bollabrocklands, March 7. You would have grown up, obviously, listening to ACDC, Phil Rudd. Now you're hanging out with him, you help him out. That must be so surreal for you. Yeah, it is, man. Just the small things, like backstage,

kind of like getting them ready before he goes on stage and things like that, just watching how pro does it, and someone who's achieved that much in the music industry, you know, it's just really cool to kind of help him out with that. So it's pretty cool, and as everyone knows, he's a bit of a character. So you laugh, they go on around him, so it's pretty cool, man. How long has it before you'll be able to pull your teeth out, like he can? Yeah, we'll see. We'll probably get a swap piece or something, and we'll open it up. Thank you so good to chat. You're 2026. Thank you, catch up. The full metal orchestra taking place, Bollabrocklands 7th of March with yourself. I am giant devil skin and an orchestra there as well. What a day it's going to be. We've actually got a double pass to give away. If you want to go, I'll add a rock phone on March 7th and give us a call for that right now. Good luck, T-Brow, good luck with the training, and also two blind spot on their own tour, just on a side note. If you can't make it to the Naki show, blind spot on their own tour. And I am giant playing a lot of those shows, you know, playing, like where the tennis has just been wrestling. They're going to be playing at that venue in Centre Court.

Oh, yeah. All around the country. I think it got the arena, yes. So if you want to see the shows and other places, check them out on their social. God, you're getting paid a lot lately. Bro, good show for you. All right, guys, have a good day. Thanks, everybody. How are you, bro? Good, well, I'm done. I'm done with women, guys. I'm done. I was going to focus on my career. Morning Rumble podcast. First show back, and I've already injured myself. I did this on Saturday in a water slide injury. My daughter's 21st, Grace had a massive water slide, which everyone did, and then I bent my little finger back, which is black and blue at the moment. There's a video of me on the water slide for those who don't know. Brice Lingmar, the daughter Olivia sent that to you. Yeah, she did it about 1.30 in the morning. She was onto it. Thanks, love. Straight onto that. So text the word slide, 3520. A lot of nasty comments coming through. I'm not needed. First day back. Keep it up. Can I just say, please keep it posted at 10 in 2026? So I don't. So it's called them like a worm. Seek who come up. Seahorse. PGA glue. Someone says something. No, yeah, you go on.

No, it's horrific at the time. It seemed amazing, but watching it is, it's pretty sad. It's like the slowed it down. It is like the slide. No, no, no, it's unbelievable. So the black cap smells one day, one day, international series in India. Yeah. We're trying to get hold of Jaden Linux. We didn't say he was on next, but we haven't got him yet. But he's a spin-bola, and he debuted on the series. Yes. And he had some great figures overnight. He's basically 31. He's been torn in a way for central districts and in Hawks Bay, played domestic cricket for years. And he's burst onto the scene, really. He had a river. He had a river. Took a couple of wickets, I believe overnight, just sitting up in the scorecard. And it's basically one of those ones where you never, it's never over until it's over. You've always got to believe that your opportunity will come. And it has for him, it's 31 for the black cap. I love it. I'm also winning over there. That's huge. And we posted like 300 or 300 plus in all three games. Yeah. It was super consistent.

Great effort, black cap. No, it was a little stuff. So we're trying to get hold of him before 9 if not, maybe tomorrow. But I had been away for the last three months, and I didn't talk about my injuries and stuff. But what I did go, and you guys know this, but I did go to New York, this is a true story, because my daughter flies for Quantus, and she got us flight standby flights. So we went to New York on New Year's Eve. So we were in New York on New Year's Eve. And we there. It was a time square. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, tried to. Well, there's a million. No, there's a million people in time square on New Year's Eve. You can't even get to it. And you love to beat the crowd. So let me guess, did you beat the crowd? I just not go. Correct. Did you watch it on TV? Yeah. I at the end, I don't. Yeah. No, it was snowing outside. Yeah. It was true. Do you know that when you go to... No, it's winter in the North. Well, I've found out. So you go into time square. Yeah. This is what they do for New Year's. It's a tradition. It's a tradition to fight with people in time square, apparently. Yeah. You can't, when you get in, there's no toilets. You can't go anywhere. People apparently wear nappies. They wear nappies because they don't want to lose their spot. And some of them get there the night before.

What? It's minus five, might I add. And they just stand there to watch the. To watch the- That's ridiculous. This stupid ball drop. Which is that a. It's ridiculous. What did you do for New Year's, then? If you're a new. My balls dropped. Am I? No. No, so I'm that so yeah, it's no that night and a couple of nights later went to a broadway Would you do on New Year's Eve though? No, no, no, I was at a pub at a pub at a bar, you found an Irish bar, didn't you? Connolly's got a photo of it and a Guinness No, I didn't have a Guinness, but I did get an Irish bar in New York on New Year's Eve I didn't have a Guinness! I didn't have a Guinness bar on New York but I like it, it's fun, and I'm sort of crazy What did he say that? What if I don't have a Guinness bar in New York. So he went to a Broadway show, went to Michael Jackson, Broadway show, like on the second of Jan. No, I don't think so. So I've had to break it to a dinner tonight. I asked my mum, my mother, what did you do?

So Lisa and I are going to get inside to the theatre. And a head of us, the lady in the head of us, I looked down and there's a pram. And I'm taking a baby to a Broadway show. And I immediately think, this is weird, she's taking a baby, bringing a baby into this Broadway show. And then I looked a bit closer. And in the pram was a poodle. A poodle, a dog. Oh, how cute is that? It was terrible, it was terrible. And I was like, wait. This lady is taking a poodle to a Broadway show. Let me guess. That better ticker than you. Bit of viewing? Yeah. Was it well behaved? He couldn't see for a second. I couldn't see out the back. And I was the lady at the door was initially thought, I don't know if we can let this happen. So she went and got a manager. And the manager came along and said, yeah, you'll have to bring it. Support, support. So this lady wheeled in a pram with a poodle

into a Michael Jackson Broadway show. Who would have thought strange people would be at a Michael Jackson show? And then I said, we said to the lady, they were taking our tickets, going, go, I've seen it all now. And then she said, no, you haven't seen it all. She said, we're the meeting ones. And we said, if someone turned up with a pony to a Broadway show, they'd have to let them in. At the pink pony club? She was basically owning it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it was good. I got it. It was good. So can you believe it? He's back and he's on board. Can you believe it? Well, I thought you might just be a glass around. He gave them to me. Give me them. Pretty classic from your generation, just hoarding well. The Marvel Podcast. We've got them from the Black Caps. They beat India in the International 1-D International series, 50 overs. 2-1, overnight.

I can see the batter is shot off his ground and then we get this broken. It's satisfying. My decision for the big screen is... So brilliance in the field from Glen Phillips finishes off the series. And a famous win for New Zealand, losing the first game, coming back to win this 1-D series and they win it after 37 years, coming to this part of the world. The Black Caps won the 1-D International series, 2-1 against India for the first time ever. And a man who had a lot to do with it. Jaden Lennox joins us on the phone. Good morning, mate. Good morning. How are you doing? So congratulations. Congratulations. Cheers. Yeah, cheers. Yeah, certainly, certainly, especially part of New Zealand cricket history. Yeah, unreal. I suppose there's a... Yeah, a few celebrations going on at the moment. So, yeah, certainly, especially to be on my first tour and be part of... Yeah, part of New Zealand cricket history. Well, we won't take too much of your time. Just tell us about how you got there. Like, you're 31 years old. You've been playing your trade in domestic cricket.

We all had a look at the scorecard this morning. We're like, Jaden Lennox, bloody hell. Where did he come from? Yeah, how cool. And then now, you're a Black Cap, and you've been a part of a first-ever series win on ODA cricket in India. What a remarkable performance. How do you feel to be at that point of your career now at this age? I think it's one of those things that artists in bowling can sometimes take longer than... Some of the other skill sets, I think, just to be battling away and domestic cricket. Well, not battling away, but... I suppose playing my trade away and domestic cricket and trying to contribute for the central stags over the last, I suppose, half a dozen years, and then to finally get a crack in and have some success and create a bit of my supposed history in New Zealand cricket and make New Zealand proud is kind of... You, man. I suppose that's the backbone of why we play the game. So to come over here and play against the big fish in their own environment and come away with the treats is seriously rewarding. Jaden, with us from the Black Cap, spoke in greats. Obviously, first series win in India at Sprice here.

Great scores posted right throughout the series. 300 or over 300, almost in every innings that you guys made today. Glenn Phillips and Daz, I'm sure. Sentries incredible. Talk us through celebrations right now that we've pulled you out of. Who's nude? Who's in the bath? Who's doing showies? What's the go? Now, they're relatively subdued, if I'm honest, Bryce. We have just packed away the banjo that's made a brief appearance. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. No more questions about that. Yeah, there's a few boys hitting onto the T20 series. So, yeah, pretty simple. Yeah. Hey, what is it like for the Black Cap's in India? Am I correct in saying that? They treat cricketers like absolute gods. Is it the same for you guys? Yeah, there's certainly no escaping it. You kind of leave the hotel to go to the ground at any time of the day. And there might be anywhere from, I suppose, two to two, 50, 300 people there just at the gate in photos and that kind of thing.

So, yeah, there's certainly no escaping it. And it's certainly a culture shock. There's a whole lot of noise everywhere you go. It's pretty, it's pretty hard to escape it. How do you know? How do you have time to listen? What do you do? No, you don't really. Yeah. Well, I suppose for this, for this one day series, it's kind of been travel train play for about two days. So, there hasn't really been much down. So, I'm, which has actually been quite good. So, to be fully immersed in the, in the rich culture of cricket in India has been pretty special. It smells here again, Jayden. Could you, if you didn't wear any Black Cap's cap, wore civilian clothes? Yeah. Yeah. Could you leave the hotel and go, go down to the 7-11? Do you reckon you can go away with it? Well, I did go for a bit of a walk the other day. They had a, a kite flying festival in Rajkot. So, we went for a little bit of a stroll and to be honest, with a couple of security guys, it was eight days fine. Yeah. And muffled. But, yeah, it's, if you're a big name, if you're a, a Desla or a Michael Bracewell or a KJ. Yeah. It's pretty relentless.

Hey, um, in the, obviously, what a team to beat. There's a reason we haven't done it before, because they're so tough at home. You beat the Indians in a one-day series. I bet the fans are having none of it. No, I bet. Nah, they were, when Cole got to 100, it was the loudest noise of it ever heard. And when he got out, it was the most deafening silence as well. Wow. Yeah, they, they're certainly passionate about Professor. And, yeah, I think to do, to do it in their own backyard, it's bloody special. What's the biggest, uh, pitch arena you've bowled in before this tour? Uh, all the sex we, we won the, the Super Smash last year, and we went to the GSL in Guyana. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And we played against the Amazon Warriors. And I think that was 12, 12 to 13,000. And that was pretty loud. Yeah. Um, but then, yeah, to play in Ragecott, the other nine in front of 28,000, uh, and the fact that screaming Indian, the mechanics was, um, yeah, pretty special,

pretty special in today. Yeah. Today, the ground was probably the size of, maybe Eden Park with 20,000, um, and kind of a, a bit of a Coliseum style, um, stadium, like it's three, three tears stacked on top of each other. And when you're on the boundary, I think honestly, less than five metres from you. So it's pretty, it's pretty confronting. Oh, you've done so well. Jada Linux. Thanks for your time, man. Appreciate it. Part of the Blackhabs Speed India and the One Day International Series for the first time, ever over there in India. Thanks so much for your time, mate. Enjoy the beers. Cheers, guys. Thank you. Yes, news and sport next, going to be a bit late, but it was worth getting Jada Linux. Yeah, I'm not so good. Spin volet for the Blackhabs. I'll be serious.
