2.434 - 14.149 G Lane

G'day G-Lane. Hey, quick question for you before we kick this potty off. What was the first job you got out of high school, like just to earn a bit of coin? What was your first job?

Chapter 2: How are the Crusaders performing in the latest Super Rugby season?

14.489 - 32.972 Unknown

My first job out of high school, well I had a job like shoveling gravel at Donaldson's Dairy. No, not Donaldson's Dairy, sorry, Donaldson's Nursery. Like shoveling dirt and gravel? Yeah. Oh, okay, yeah. That was a pretty good job. And then I was straight into a record store's Echo Records.

Chapter 3: What issues are the Wellington Phoenix facing in their current season?

33.532 - 46.488 G Lane

Okay, yeah, mine was very manual labor-based. I did a lot of water blasting of driveways. A lot of blasting? A lot of blasting, a lot of menial tasks. I wasn't very well paid, though. I can remember I got paid less than $10 an hour.

47.129 - 54.719 Unknown

I got paid by Mr. Donaldson in these little brown paper bags with some cash in them. Really? Did he pay in brown paper bag?

Chapter 5: What happened to the Black Caps during their recent match?

59.485 - 74.807 G Lane

Okay, so his landscape business was, according to IRD, not doing very well. Anyway, the reason I ask that, Matt Heath, is because a piece of content was put out by the PGA and...

Chapter 6: What were the highlights of the recent Winter Olympics?

74.787 - 94.669 G Lane

was the senior PGA, you know that senior PGA tour where Stephen Elk is kicking ass? Michael Campbell's part of that. Anyway, part of the content was they asked people what their first job was before they became a pro golfer. And Michael Campbell, out of all of them, all of them are so boring. All of them are like, my dad just took me to the range and I just went professional straight away.

94.709 - 100.075 G Lane

It's like, all of them are so fucking boring. And then Michael Campbell says, hold my beer.

101.797 - 113.135 Michael Campbell

Um... I used to earn a bit of extra money. I used to be a... I can't believe I'm going to say this.

Chapter 7: What feedback did listeners provide in the 'Yours Please' segment?

114.077 - 114.538 Michael Campbell

But why not?

Chapter 8: How can listeners join the new Facebook group 'The Caravan'?

114.878 - 115.58 Michael Campbell

A caged answer.

116.221 - 117.163 Matt Heath

No, you didn't.

118.139 - 146.156 Michael Campbell

When I was like 19, 20 years old, imagine I was still an amateur trying to get money together to travel around New Zealand. And I got this opportunity to dance at this nightclub and had two cages on the side of the stage. And it was good money. I must say I must have probably earned about two and a half thousand New Zealand dollars that one night. What? Through tipping. So I was pretty good.

146.417 - 147.598 Michael Campbell

No shit back then.

0

147.999 - 170.061 Unknown

No shit you were good. Like two and a half grand back then. That was 20 years ago, maybe 25 years ago. Was it G on or G off? It's in Wellington. It was Wellington. I think it was there. Was it the gay bar that was in there? What was it called? You went up some stairs. I think they had cages. But are we talking G on or G off?

170.882 - 175.971 G Lane

Is this new? These are questions we have to ask. I mean, for $2,500 for one night, I'm expecting.

176.031 - 179.176 Unknown

I'm not paying someone $2,500 a night if they've got their G on.

179.276 - 193.059 G Lane

Yeah, I think the G might have come up. I mean, because he's a dangerously good-looking man, Michael. Yeah, imagine when he was 18 or 19, he would have had quite the bodo, imagine. Yeah, he would have been the rig. Yeah. I mean, and you don't get tips just for sitting around, do you?

193.46 - 212.878 Unknown

Shh. Shit. So, God, it would have been a bit of a toss-up between that and going... Going pro. Following golf. Well, because, yeah, two and a half grand a night. It's not bad. So that would have been in the 90s probably, right? Yeah. Yeah, it would have been. He would have been the wealthiest person in Wellington. I wonder if he paid tax on that. I doubt it.
