What social media challenges does Mike face?
For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show Podcast. Get up even closer. On Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Or Raw Dog It. Four to seven every weekday. On Radio Hodecky. Oh, g'day, fellas. Make me.
Hi. Jeez, he's blowing a gale out there, boys. She's a windy bastard, boys. Jeez Louise. There's no willing to know. 150 k's down there, mate. Oh, really? 150. Wow.
How do the hosts react to a windy day in Wellington?
150 k's. Rude's flying off. No flights. Airport's closed. Sandy Wellington. Sandy is summer. Beautiful summer's day in the middle of winter. A still day in Wellington. It's interesting with our apartment because we've got those massive palms right outside our window. And they get a real, and like get within inches of our windows. It's actually quite scary. It's spooky. I can see you being scared of something like that. Yeah, my wife had to hug me because I was so frightened. Fellas, I want to run something past you. You had a social media incident last night. Yes. See if we're going to talk about, just spat some cracker on the old microphone there, Keezy. So I'm sitting there, I'm on my phone. Yes. I'm on Instagram.
Instagram.
While I'm on Instagram, I get a friend request. Okay. I don't know about you. We'll find out. Pugs, you can be on the chat on this one as well if you need to as well. Not all the time, depending, but generally if I get a friend request, I'll see who it is in case I know them.
Yeah.
And then I have to follow them back. I go onto this person, I look, I recognise the person, I've seen the person, but I don't know the person. Yeah. So for me, it would be weird for me to follow this person back. Never spoken to this person in my life. I go back out of the profile and I look and I'm following the person. So at some point during that process, I've hit follow. But I've followed this person back immediately after their friend requested me. Right? Yeah.
What social media incident does Mike share?
So that's happened straight away. So then I go, and when I see that I've followed, I think to myself, shit, have I already followed this person at some point? That's not even possible. So then I'm looking to see when I've followed. It's not. This person has followed me. I've followed back. Right. So then I'm like, well, I should unfollow because I don't know this person. And it's weird for me to be following this person because I don't know them at all.
Are they a well-known person?
How does Mike handle an accidental follow on Instagram?
No.
Okay.
Are they male or female? They're female.
Okay.
Okay. Here we go. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yes. So then I think, well, I should unfollow because I don't know the person. But the fact that I've just followed them back immediately.
Yeah.
I'm thinking that they're probably still on the phone. Or whatever device he uses. Oh, follow back. That was quick. But then I would unfollow the person. Then I'd be weird.
You could just quickly unfollow and then just go, because if that was them, they might think, oh, glitch maybe.
Oh, yeah. But I was a little bit worried. Because I know the person works here. I was going to say, was it someone from here? Yeah, but I don't know them.
Young female, older female? Attractive?
Yeah.
Young female?
Okay. Roughly, it'll be getting on for 30 years, I'd say, younger than me. Okay. So yes, young. Okay. Attractive, do you say, Jase? Yes. I would class her as attractive. Right. So then it becomes a weird look. Now, I'll tell you what I did. It is an issue, isn't it? Because you don't want to be rude. It is an issue. So then I think... Wonder if a fan of the show. So then I have a look at the – see, this is what you end up doing now, isn't it? Because I'm now going, this is not a good look for a man of my age. No, sure. To be following this person. Not good. So I guess – I don't know. I guess my question is, what do you – What would your steps have been?
To be honest, divorce and just slide into the DMs.
Just all in. To clarify, though, so you unfollowed again? No, I didn't. No, you didn't. Because I felt that would have been weird, rude.
What does their name start with?
We might just have to cut this bit out. I don't know how to deal with this. I'll tell you what I did. I'll tell you what I did. I messaged the person. I said, look, this is a bit weird, but I have accidentally followed you.
