What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The Hodaki Breakfast. Get your insulation jobs sorted with Bunnings Trade. It's Radio Hodaki's day and I tell you it's hot and up up here atop the Sky Tower, 200 metres above the Auckland CBD. Lee Hart joins us now.
Good morning Lee.
What is the significance of the Day in Loo event?
Yeah, good morning fellas. Great to be here on this beautiful day and what a great occasion, what a great building as you pointed out.
Great spot. It feels like where a 90s radio jock might have sat back in the day.
Yeah, imagine that. Imagine this was the studio compared to the kind of the shit one you have now. I mean, it's kind of, it puts you in the mood, doesn't it? If you look professional, you feel professional, you sound professional.
Yeah, and you've always said that. It definitely is better than the view of the alley behind work where everyone goes to smoke before work.
Yes, the chicken shop.
Yeah, it does. Hey, we've got the legends of TV coming in throughout this morning. We've talked about some of the humiliating TV that Jeremy's made. We talked to Wendy Petrie about her most embarrassing TV moments. You must have had a couple throughout the years.
No, no, I can't say I have. I can imagine that Wendy would have, you know, seen her in the early days. It took a while before she became a professional. No, I never really did. I always found myself quite professional, and if it did come across unprofessional, I just cut it out. I'm not stupid. No, they're short. There was plenty of things. I think... doing a press conference in Aussie, Rugby World Cup, with Eddie Jones in the room, a big press conference, you know, 60, 70 people, and I somehow fell through the Venetian blinds and they fell on top of me. It wasn't so much that fell on top of me, I could have happened to any general. It was the way I was trying to get out of them that was really protracted, and it went on for a few minutes.
I lost my broadcasting, not my full accreditation, but my press conference accreditation for two and a half years.
I remember that well, that car that you had with the Venetian Blind. I also remember there was an incident in Australia at one stage with a brown snake in a rental car. Oh, yes.
Yep, we did get some complaints from the animal groups, as you'd expect. I was doing an Edinburgh-type sort of piece, I suppose, in the outback, a brown snake. They can be nasty. They've got a bad bite in them. I was explaining to the viewers... About the snake, the snake chased me. So I got in the rental car and chased the snake myself in the rental car. I got ahead of the snake, managed to get on top of it, ran it over with the back wheel. The snake, of course, I thought was dead, as it would be, you know, with the rental car saloon. And it started moving again. I freaked out. So I jammed the snake's head in the driver's door, I think, the driver's door here.
Who are the notable guests featured in this episode?
And then, indeed... Did kill the snake. And we had a few complaints from the animal.
Peter and such.
Yeah, Peter. Peter, Paul and Mary.
Also, the Football World Cup going on at the moment, you've done a lot of sporting journalism in your time.
What embarrassing TV moments do the hosts share?
Did you ever follow the FIFA Football World Cup around at all?
No, I was sort of always out of sync with that and obviously it's grown over the years. I think football's huge in New Zealand now, which is great to see it grow. So when I started back in sports journalism, rugby was everything I suppose. You had to hark way back to the 81 or something, remember that? That was the big year. The Springbok Tour? No, no, the World Cup 87. 87? No, no, the football. Oh, the football walker. Oh, 81. Yeah, 81. 81, 82. Yeah, 82. I mean, that was big. I remember that. Who can forget that? I remember that. Who can forget it? Who can forget it? But then I forgot every other one until now.
The other great situation, I mean, as Manai pointed out, you have been involved behind the scenes in a huge amount of coverage of different sporting events over the years. The Olympics, I believe you covered the London Olympics. You ended up with accreditation. You got into a whole lot of events just by... sticking some highlighters to a lanyard.
