Yeah, long story. So Gavin the Gimp. Gerry, you got a picture of Gavin the Gimp while we were giving blood last week for New Zealand Blood Service.
Did we whip it through into the dock?
No. No, well, we didn't whip it through into the dock, but what happened was... Whip it through into the chat. Yeah. I mean, we could put it up on the Conglave. Let's do that very soon before anyone listens to the thing and then we'll please explain.
Chapter 2: Why did Gavin the Gimp resurface after 16 years?
So people have gone onto the Conglave, the Facebook page, and said, what's the story with Gavin the Gimp?
Yeah.
The reason that Gavin the Gimp has resurfaced after 16 years, Gerry, first of all, saw him on your thing when you showed me at the blood donation drive, is because it came up on a certain person's Facebook memories. as this day in 2010. Yep. And you said, who does this look like? Who does this look like, Ruda? Well, I had a needle in my arm. Yes. Blood, by the way, Manoa.
Chapter 3: What was the context of Gavin's blood donation photo?
I was given blood. I know, I was there. I didn't just have a needle in my arm.
I didn't just think that Ruda had all of a sudden decided to pick up a hard drug addiction. 9am in the morning.
Out of nowhere. And said person that got the, I'll just say it. Let's just say it, because fuck it, it's a radio...
But what if they all turn off our radio station and turn theirs on, though? Why do we do that thing where we pretend other people don't exist?
Chapter 4: How did the idea of Gavin the Gimp originate?
But what if when you say it, then all of a sudden everyone realises that they exist and then they turn us off and then turn them on?
So Bryce Casey from The Rock radio station where I used to work sent Gerry the picture of Gavin the Gimbert, came up on his Facebook memories, and then they did a podcast and they said, hey, Ruda works on another radio station now and they call him Ruda. Can you text bomb them? And can you say, Gavin the Gimp, please explain.
I don't know if I should take offense to this, but no one really did.
Yeah. Oh, look, I've seen a few, and I've seen a few comments on the conclave, but not me. No, no, I think that's good, though, because it means no one listens to their podcast.
Shame.
Shame dicks.

Chapter 5: What role did Paul the Octopus play in the conversation?
Or ours. Or our radio show. Yeah, that's a fair point. I don't know which way around that is. Or just can't be bothered texting them. So 2010 Football World Cup. There was Paul the Octopus, FIFA World Cup, and Paul the Octopus, I feel like at one point, had a 100% living rate. Quite deep into the pool stage from memory. Oh, actually, I'm going to put Paul the Octopus in dead or alive for today.
Got to be dead.
Chapter 6: How did Gavin the Gimp become a part of radio culture?
Dead. Got to be dead. Paul the Octopus is dead. Don't know how long octopi live for.
Not as long as they should.
No. Especially not Paul. You've always said that.
They should live a lot longer. They're a beautiful animal.
Chapter 7: What insights were shared about the Jackass franchise?
They should have earlier access to bowel screening.
Yeah. Is it bowel cancer that gets an octopus? Do octopi have bowels?
They must have big bowels.
What was that Netflix thing that just took the world by storm that was always telling me to watch? My Octopus Teacher. My Octopus Teacher. Great. Have you watched it?
Chapter 8: What nostalgic elements were discussed regarding the early 2000s?
No, because it just told me to watch it too much. I watched a bit of it, and I found the guy annoying.
Once you get... Oh, dude, but that's part of it. Hold on. Try it again through the lens of, that guy is annoying. Okay. And because he doesn't address any of the things that are going on in his life. We've been way late here, but he doesn't address the fact that quite clearly his marriage is falling apart back on shore. Otherwise, how can you go and swim with this octopus?
That's exactly what I wondered.
Yes, yeah, yeah. Ah, so his marriage fell apart. Well, I don't know that, but that's my inference. That's what I took away from watching it. And then the other thing is, you making love to that octopus?
Yes.
And did it really teach him that much?
No. No. I mean, it's not like it sat down and taught him Pythagoras theorem or, you know.
There was someone who used to work here that we called Pythagoras because they were always working at an angle. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's crazy.
That's a brutal nickname. You'd hate for them to find that out.
