It went on for ages, you know, and we could have gone on, we could have carried it on, you know, if we wanted to, but we got to the stage where like, I think they came at us, TVNZ, there was a change in thing and they came at us and said, no, you're gonna have to take a pay cut.
And we were like, what?
Fuck off.
And we didn't, right?
And, you know, like that game of two halves would still be going.
It would probably still be going, you know, like because it was just like it just had something, you know, like it had a vibe.
And you were saying about did we, you know, prep for it.
Nah.
We just came in and just off the cuff.
You've got to remember we had Mike King who was like, he's a bit rough and ready, but real good, you know, and funny and loud and, you know, people liked him and then some people didn't like him.
Then you had Marty Devlin on my side who was just cool.
Marty's real smart, real funny, like quirky.
Then me, Macca, and then you had Vici in the middle who was like a knobby, but good bastard.
You know, like VG was real good at what he did, you know.
And, yeah, so, yeah, it just worked perfectly.
And then Mark and I, you know, we got on junkets around the world.
You know, we went to Russia, Brazil, flipping.
We went everywhere, you know, like for two weeks just taking the piss out of each other.
Yeah, 100%, 100%.
And thank you for pointing that out because it isn't.
