like my mind's gonna be blown.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah right, believe it to receive it. Hey, guys, we're
back on time this week.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
No fresh concussions anyway, but we will explain how I
got my concussion. And it turns out Jordan's carrying a
long term headed jury as well.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That we need to address. Yeah, I just kind of
wanted to, like yours was your story is pretty amazing.
Just wait, guys, it's grabbed the popcorn. And then I
was like I just want a big dog. I just
want to come in here and basically can cuss them
again and share my concussion story. So I flopped it
out and did that, and sorry, sorry to rain on
your concussion parade. And then also, like last week, you
(01:54):
built up the fact you had this big secret and
I thought, nah, stuff that. The whole week you ate
at me and I was like, I've got a secret.
I've got a secret that I've held from you guys,
from Clint for six weeks now, it's kind of it's
a big The people I've shared it with are like, oh, yeah,
I did that, but I did that like twenty years ago,
like when I was twenty, not when I'm thirty six,
and I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's a big news announcement. It borders on midlife crisis stuff.
But for an album, your Dad, this is big news
that Jordan's going to reveal on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Why did we not talk about that? That folly is
it's a quarter and my midlife it's a quarter to
midlife crisis. Kick out the ass.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, we don't even talk anymore before we start this podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We just log on and then start recording.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So what you're hearing is genuinely all Jordan and I
talk about each week.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This is our These are our whole conversations, These are
our whole catchups. Some people think these podcasts are heavily
edited and we take it out and we move stuff
around that We didn't want it to be like that.
That's just that's just a couple of dads having some banter.
And the other thing we do now even more so
is we don't talk outside of the podcast, No, because
we want to capture it all the podcast, So I
(03:09):
will quickly take you back to my news bulletin news
last week's that was terrible, last week's podcast. If you
weren't on socials or you may have checked in on
your normal day to find us, and we weren't there one.
I was down at the snow and having an absolute nightmare.
We recorded the podcast fine, and then I'm trying to
upload the files for Clint and I think it's all
(03:30):
on me, and I'm like, holy shit, and I can't
get these stupid files to upload from this batch that
I'm staying at. And then I get a message, a
very cryptic, slash, kind of strange, weird message from Clint.
Don't worry mate, I've suffered a concussion today and I've
got to be away from my screen. And I'm just like, sorry,
what are you okay? What's gone on? He's like yeah,
(03:51):
but I can't, so don't stress about the podcast. I'll
do it tomorrow. And that just opens and I look,
I knew I didn't want to hound you and be
like what's happened? Because you see, you know you've got
to be away from screen. So again I've not hounded you.
For the fact you had to be away from screens,
and then you did a post to the people for
the podcast, and then our very we've talked about many
(04:14):
times insane. The most ripped dad who's the same age
as me and Clint. In New Zealand, Art Green and
his lovely wife Matilda, they've heard about Clint's concussion and
they do a cheeky little, cheeky little Instagram story trying
to figure out this is Clint's post. Clint does a
post that says I walked into a powerpole and got concussion.
So everyone is like, what a million questions? How do
(04:37):
you can cuss yourself anyway? So Art and Matilda do
a cheeky little post trying to act out and figure
out this is how we think Clint did it. Then
I jump on the bandwagon and I still don't know
how right, and I do one as well, just traving
a laugh. And then what happens is the local New
Zealand paper, the New Zealand Herald, run a story, not.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The local, the biggest, the biggest newspaper in the country
decides this is news story that people need to know about.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So this is the headline ZMS. This is the radio
station Clint's on Zadiums. Clinton Roberts teased by high profile
Kiwis after sharing concussion news on social media, and I
sent that link to you and I'm like, have you
seen this? And You're just like, what the fuck is
going on?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And then I started to feel bad after classic Kiwi
style of just I had no idea how extreme the
concussion was. I still don't until you're about to fall
us all in and straight away classic Kiwi, We're just
going to Oh, let's just tease them. This just had fun. Yeah,
And so he got a bit of ribbing and then
it went national. So sorry, mate.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I would hope that if I was in a wheelchair,
you would still give me a bit of light ribbing,
because that's how, you know, that's how we show that
we care in this country. You know, that's what friends do.
So don't feel bad about that. I don't know why
it was so confusing that that's how you would get concussed.
While I admit it's the lamest concussion story ever.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If you were running, I would understand it. But the
fact that you're walking, you're walking your daughter, You've got
to tell us. Now you've got to set up. You're
walking your daughter, Maggie two daycare.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So I'm walking back from Tiwey's school to the car
to take Maggie to kindy. I'm holding her hand. She's
on the building side of the footpath. I'm on the
street side of the footpath, as is the right way
to walk your children on the footpath. It's quite a
narrow footpath where we live, and it narrowed even more
at this bit. There's a car driving pass that I
(06:32):
liked the look of. Don't ask me what the car is,
because it doesn't make the story any better. It was
a late nineties Honda Integra. And I turned, I turned,
I turned, and I probably turned more than ninety I
probably turned close to one hundred and eighty degrees while
still walking and not looking where I was going. And
then I've whipped my head back. And at the second
(06:54):
I've whipped my head back like there must have been
centimeters away from the pole as I turned.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And I think the thrust.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Of turning my head around plus stepping, because my foot
went past the pole and my head went into the pole,
there's enough force.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
There that if your head came to a.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Sudden stop, and because it got me square in the
middle of the forehead. Anyway, I'm not trying to overdramatize
me walking into a lamppost, but that's how it happened.
And then I dropped to the ground. And then I
was sort of on the ground for about ninety seconds
with Maggie and I had to sort of hold her
hand and try to explain to her what was going on.
As I gathered myself and I said, oh, we just
(07:29):
have to sit here for a minute, because Daddy, I've
really hurt my head. I walked into that pole and
she goes silly pole, which was very cute, and then
all the people in the cafe came out of the
cafe and like, are.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You all right? There was an audience, There was an audience.
It was peak hour.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It was rush our school drop off in the little
village where we live, in the main street.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The cafe was packed with people. It was very visible.
It was very visible walking into a pole.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Then I went to work that day and felt like
shirt and then I went to the GP straight after
work and they're like, they did the test. They did
the light tests they do on the rugby players on this.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You had a rugby player, hia. I had an HIA. Yeah,
I head injury assessment. Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They did that thing that they do in the movies
where they go, Okay, we're just gonna ask you a
few questions. What is today's date? Which I couldn't answer
without a concussion. But I said to them, ah, look
I know that because I've just been filling.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Out the ACC form.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So I looked at my watch and it's got the
date on that and they said, okay, and what date
is it. I said, it's the nineteenth of August and
the year I said twenty twenty four, obviously, and they said,
are you sure about that date because it's actually the
twenty first today.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So that was a thing, or a forgetful thing.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Anyway, they do all the things, and they talked to you
about the symptoms, and then they.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Take you off work for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
They give you a certificate that says don't work, don't
look at screens, which I actually have talked to an
actual concussion person since they're not just a GP, and
they said they're not going on screen things. Is actually
dated advice. It's not the it's not the right advice anymore.
They're looking at screens. Isn't a huge deal for concussions
unless it's making your the worse, and that you should rest,
(09:08):
but you shouldn't rest too much. You should actually be
doing doing some light exercise for blood flow and things
like that. Anyway, I learned a lot about concussion and
feeling good. Yeah, thanks for asking.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And you had that day off work and the following
day two days. Yeah, And I love that there was
an audience. It just makes it so. Do you think
that cafe has CCTV and we can get a clip
of this.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
My friend, who's a police officer, messaged me and she said,
send me the address. I need to try and pull
the CCTV footage because.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
The police have a network of cameras everywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I gave her the time and location and she
went straight into the database and she goes, I've found
the poll. Unfortunately I can't find the footage.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
She found the pholee. Yeah, good to hear that you're
back to normal, mate.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sorry about the delay on the podcast. Guys, but Clinton
now knows not to look at nineteen ninety nine integras.
This isn't fast and the furious and blue neons, blue
neons on her car, and the gear and the gearshaft
spray painted blue. You don't need to be looking or
thinking about doing that stuff anymore. It was just throwback.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I was like, man, you don't see many of those anymore.
That's why I was looking the story of the concussions.
It's like Chinese whispers. And Lucy was picking up Maggie
from kindy yesterday and one of the teachers came over
and said, Lucy, I have to know, is it true
did Clint Raally walk into a pole and get a concussion?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So I didn't start making up a bitter story.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So my teacher at high school that had like a
scar across her knee, and she told everybody because it
was quite visible, and she used to wear skirts above
the knee and you could always see the scar. And
she told us that she had had a run in
with a shark while she was surfing, and actually she'd
slipped off her bike and the pedal had cut her
knee open.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But she just told everybody that was a shark attack.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So I'm going to start saying that I head butted
a shark.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't know you had buttered a dude that was
like crazy, like you took out a criminal. A guy
tried to grab Meggie's backpack and you but yeah, but
he was knocked out. But my concussion was delayed.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I won.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Hopefully Meggie wasn't too scarred. And the kids are okay, Yeah,
that's fine. Yeah, since your concussion story. I went to
the snow because last episode was being down at the snow.
It was great, good, good bluebird days. And the kids
are now at a level where it's so good, like
you could almost just scare away from them and then
wait at the bottom like it used to be your
(11:35):
heart out next to Nada, Like I can't have you
skiing off the hill edge of this mountain. Now it's fine.
We will zoom off and then they come down or
they're quite fast now, so I'm like not having to
be slow. It was good, great time, great time.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Do they go anywhere other than I don't know what
the two door version of heavy value is, but do
they go anywhere other than the learner slope?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, we take all of them are up the slopes.
Now we're not okay, we don't go to Learnaville no more.
Bro the chair lift and.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
How they go with getting on and off the chair
left because getting off their little pros terrifying.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, they're little pros. No stress anymore whatsoever. I took
Mila right to the top of Twodor, which I've only
done once. It's called the high noon Lift. And I
got up there and internally I was shitting myself like,
oh why gosh, and here I am because me a
couple of Mela's friends had done and I was like,
let's just get you up there, and you're not gonna
die if worst case, you're just gonna do like breaks
(12:30):
all the way down. But the first teen to fifteen
meters is just sheer ice. So even the pros around
us are talking like, bro, let's go over there, let's
drop in, and they go and then there's fall like
skinning on their backs for a bit. They don't stress
out and they hit the soft snow and they're fine
and they stand up and start. But everyone around us
is like a symphony.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Of just du.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Smash smash smash smash, like falling over. And here's Miela
at the top like I'm trying to talk her, You'll
be okay, let's do this, and we did it. I
got her down, and it's a cool thing that she
can say she's done the high noon.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
This is the concussion in me asking. But do you
wear a helmet when you ski?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I wear a helmet when I ski. I don't know
if I've ever shared this on the podcast really quickly,
because it ties into concussion and helmets on our oe.
Back in twenty ten where we traveled Europe, me and
my wife, we did a six one week sorry over
New Year's snowboarding trip. I had already snowboarded in my life,
and we thought this is cool and we did it
(13:26):
with another set of mates. I didn't get a helmet.
I clearly remember. Twenty year old Jordan clearly remembers my
mates with me getting a helmet and me in the
equipment line going, what a pussy bro, you don't need
a helmet. It's snow, it's snow. What are you up to?
We get up there on the chair lift. I'm coming down.
I hadn't really learnt proper good turns yet on a
(13:49):
snowboard like the little s I could do it one
way or not the other. So coming down this really
icy bit and I'm doing the turn where your back
faces downhill, so I'm kind of slowing my speed, so
downhill is behind me, and I clipped and I whipped
back and smacked my head and it was like concrete.
And I looked up and I've had knocks in the
head from rugby, like little tiny but it's not fully
(14:10):
knocked out. But you know, you get a good knock
in rugby and you have a little black moment and
then you're fine. I looked up, opened my eyes and
the whole alps that I was looking to mountains were
just shaking left and right like oh. And I was
like whoa. And my mate was behind me and stopped
and he goes, you're right, and I was like, yeah,
give me a second. And I looked up again and
it was still doing it, and I was in la
la lambro and no one really I wasn't aware of
(14:32):
how bad it was. No, he kinda was like, oh,
I just walk down. So I walked down, and in
my delirium, I hopped back on the cheerlift and went
back up the hill and then and I couldn't even
I fell asleep on the cheerlift on the way back up,
and someone people that I sat next to wake me up.
And I ended up filling a sleeping bag. I thought
that my head were internal bleeding or something, so I
(14:53):
filled my sleeping bag cover with snow and put that
on my head outside our little house, and I was
just sitting there anyway. I then had vertigo for six months.
I couldn't lean on my left I couldn't lean not
constant it was, and I would look up, I couldn't
look up, and I couldn't sleep on my left hand
side without falling.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Through the bed and eventually hit injury.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I know, and we all kind of at the time,
no one really thought much because we were young, and
we went We went to the emergency French guy who
spoke no English, and he just gave me a neck brace,
thinking that I'd hurt my neck. And I'm trying to
show him, look, bro, look if I look up, I
start to pass out and He's like, put this nicks on.
So then I spent This is on the first day
(15:36):
of the snowboarding trip. So for three days I just
stayed inside like couldn't lie down, hating life and then
being a bogan kiwi. I strapped up my board on
the last day and went up with a bit of
a headache and snowboarding. I wore a helmet and when
I fell, I had extreme head pain and stupid of me,
but I think I'm okay now. But so whenever you
(15:59):
guys look at me or think why is he struggling
to get his words out, just know that I've had
a very very bad head knock.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I'm going to the concussion specialist tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh wow, your help still continues.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like an ongoing thing. I'm going
to the headache clinic. I'm going to ask them about yours.
I'm going to say, should someone who had a brain
injury fourteen years ago and has never had anything done
about it, should they talk to somebody?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm going to ask them, yea, should they have like
an MRI? I agree. I feel like if they scan
my brain, they'd be like, WHOA, did you have a
massive traumatic here injury? At some stage I'll be like yes.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm also going to ask if I should be wearing
a helmet when I'm walking on the footpath.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I think so Yeah. I think one of those old
school nineteen nineties highlighted yellow ones you need to wear,
or the cute ninety year old dudes that you see
out on their walks and they put rugby gear on
either rugby head gear. You should have that.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I just quickly on the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We've just come back. We're recording this a little bit late.
I've just come back from my first ever parent teacher meeting.
First ever because too he's just finished six weeks at
primary school. So this is our first parent teacher meetings.
What an experience. I sat down and I had like
a almost like an out of body experience. I was like, whoa,
this is what this is like. I've only ever been
to parent teacher meetings where I was the kid and
(17:19):
the teacher was being told my mom was being told
how shit I was in the classroom and how disruptive
I was, and how I wasn't wearing my glasses as
much as I should be, and how my handwriting isn't
as good as it needs to be. And so then
to sit there and be the parent, I was like, WHOA,
this is crazy, man. And I also there's one of
those moments where you realized that you are the age
(17:39):
of the people that you thought were adults. Because sitting
opposite Twy's teacher, we were talking to her about Tui
and then she was telling us about her children, who
are the same age as Twoey and Maggie, and I'm like,
oh shit, I'm the same age as the teacher.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, because teacher has.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Proper adults and I don't think of myself as a
proper adult all the time. I'm like, man, I'm just
a young, cool guy who happens to have kids. But no,
I'm the adult in the room and I'm the same
age as teacher.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
There's so many teachers at my kids' school that are
younger than me, like just a few years. But yeah,
and your head teachers are older than you and wiser
than you. And then you're like, sorry, did I just
over here you talking about clubbing with your other teacher?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Made?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
What you know I got to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I got the big call up though, from this from
the teachers that before you go, we were discussing in
the staff room and we've got a favor to ask.
And I know this is a big deal, and trust me,
I know how big a deal it is. It's huge honor.
It's actually like a career highlight moment. I've been asked
to DJ.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The school, the school, discow.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
School, disco those kids are going to be peeking their
tits off when I hit the dance floor at four
point thirty in the afternoon in the school hall for.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The primary school Disco musical. Mister Daniels from your school
is slightly upset because he started for the last eight
years and now the whispers have gone around the school
as you've started. I think that's Clint from z M.
Is there that Clint guy. They've they're all acting cool now,
but in the staff room someone's just gone.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And I saw that article in the Herald about my concussion,
so they that really edited.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Get him now, get him now. He's a bit dizzy.
He'll say. Yes, we promise there'll be no polls on
the way to the disco and the school grounds. We're
going to put panning around the poles the day that
you show up.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I hope, I hope there's no poles on a primary
school dance you you have.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
To come up with the playlist and that's there's actually
pressure on you. Now.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I reckon a primary school disco there's less pressure than
an intermediate disco because they're not cool yet. Primary school
kids aren't cool yet. They still like Little Mermaid and
Taylor Swift and things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
The funny thing is you've said yes, and you've said
it yes on a public podcast now, so you can't
say no. But I know how discos run your kids.
All the kids come at different age time, so you're
you're DJing and your kid's only there for a small
part of that time. She's gonna leave, your wife's going
to pick up TWI, and you have to stay on.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
The Yeah, how far do we push?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
How much of a musical education do I give these children?
You know, how deep into the into the twenty ten days?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I think just I think just if they're asking you
and they know like you're not from the school environment,
I think, just first song, my neck, my ba, my
pussy and mar crack, or we just get out.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
There with don't Anna, Kanda, don't want Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, I do get concerned. I've seen a few tiktoks
where young kids spitting the lyrics to the most horrific
songs but their brains don't understand what they're saying. But
kids even singing to that Wap song, I'm like, what
are these parents? What are you doing? Do not be
playing the songs around them? Anyway? Hey, that is that's
a life achievement.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Just go yeah, totally tick the box right, And I
feel like I have to do it. I think I
have to take a day of leave from my job,
but I feel like it's worth it just to go.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You got it straight away. My school got me to.
Their thing was we'd like you to come and talk
to our teachers. It was a teacher only day. This
is years ago. Come and talk to our teachers. And
I'm like about about what? Like, I don't want to
be a prack. I'm not trying to say no here,
but I'm like, what do I do?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And I was like and they're like, oh, it's like
a technology day. I was like, oh yeah, I could
get up and do it like a how I edit
and quickly turn around a video. So if you ever
want to do stuff in class with the kids, it
doesn't have to be here's some tips. You know. Make
sure the light's not behind them and it's on their face.
Make sure they're not filming by a refrigerator. So this
sounds okay, And I get up there. Do you think
(22:00):
I can get I do like a live how too.
I get some teachers up on stage. It's great and
then do you think I can get the audio to
play here? I am meant to be the tech guy,
but I'm trying to hook him. And it was just
that classic you know on a man system, preferences change
your output, and I'm just in panic mode and I'm
kind of laughing, like this happens though it's a tech
day and it says real life, and I'm showing you
(22:21):
all how you've got to get over a challenge. And
it was about six awkward minutes of silence and of
me every minute now and then trying to break the
ice berg, going hahha, any minute now, and then just
one teacher walks up and figures it out, and I'm like,
thank god, thank you so much. So they didn't get
They've never.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
French from the computer room and they're like, how about
we get him.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
To sort it out. Yeah, they've never asked me back
to speak again, so which is great. I kind of
burnt the first time I got asked, and then we
kind of burnt them all by pissing them off. And
our teachers only talk and how teachers on Teacher's only
Day are just you know, on holiday, so they all
slightly view me in ah you know it was a joke.
It was twenty years ago, Brian, all right, get over it.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, it's not of December, so I've got time to
work on my playlist. I need a new DJ name
to DJ at a school and probably need an outfit
with some lights on it or something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Nah Nah, DJ Clint, that's great. You want them JA Club,
You want yeah man, because you want them that when
they grow up, they'll remember you and they'll come to
your gigs. Bro, DJ Clint's still cool because DJ Clint
to her kids, it's cool, Well, your name's DJ Clint.
That you don't have to be. You got to realize
kids are way older than what we were when we
were five, six, seven, eight nineteen. Like, you don't want
(23:32):
to come in and be like, who's DJ Krusty Kids,
And then you're like trying to remix Fruit Salad Wiggles
Fruit Salad to another Wiggles song. Like they they want
to hear everything you play on ZDM, the ones that
don't have the profanity in them. They want those songs.
They know the lyrics to all of them.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You're so right.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't want to get I don't want to get
bullied by a bunch of seven year olds.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I need to be.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I need to be. Actually hit me up beforehand, or
we'll talk and we'll compile a list because my kids
are they're all of those ages, and these songs that
they just love that get the kids going. Imagine Dragons
Believer is just it's catt to be in your playlist.
Every kid knows and every kid goes nut. Okay, George
Ezra Shotgun, huge banger for every kid.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah yeah, I said, Oh my god, I see.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Check Tones and another banger. These are ones that all
kids know and as soon as they come on, they
jump up and they're like, oh ship, that's my fucking jam.
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
All right getting the dms. Have you got a must
have song for a primary school disc? I'm going to
start putting the playlist together.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Hey, last week you shared some a big secret with everyone.

knowing you want to be there, I want to come,
you want to I want to be here.
Speaker 3 (25:15):

What is it?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Are you doing a half marathon?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No? Slightly crazier?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Are you doing an iron man?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Is it fitness based?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, because I've seen the amount of exercise you've been doing.
Speaker 1 (25:39):

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Are you doing a tough mutter?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Nope, I'm doing a boxing match. Speaking of concussion, you're
going to go You're going to go and talk to
your concussion people and they'ld say he cannot be knocked
in the head ever. Again, I'm like, I'm doing a fight. No,
this isn't This is on a community level. I'm bringing
it down. I'm bringing it down. This is on a
community level. This isn't a big charity televised which I
(26:05):
didn't want. This is a local gym here reached out
and I have jokingly I've said on this podcast and
I've joked about it for years now that I just
never get on top of my health and weight, and
I've slowly put I've put a kilo on every year
since I've had a kid, which is true. I used
to sit at ninety five meals eleven. I'm now one
hundred and six. Like, come on, Jordan, try and get
(26:26):
back down to your sitting weight, which was your sitting
weight for ten years, which was ninety five yea, And
or I've needed something to be the kick up the ass.
And they said, like this is hard out. It's it's
only it's only like three it's only three two minute rounds,
Like it isn't huge. But they said, you gas yourself.
It's all proper, like there's a ref, it's corporate rules.
We your head gear in that. But they say, we
(26:48):
have a two week fight camp. You have to drop
to your way in weight and you will be pushing
the shit out of you and you have to fully commit.
And I'm like, this is it, this is my kick
up the ass. I'm doing it. Sign me out so
I'm fighting someone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You only get two weeks of boxing training.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No you get sorry, it's two months. If two months,
it's two months of camp. Sorry again again my head,
not from fifteen years ago, just coming in to haunt me. There.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So you've started, you're in training at the moment.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So I'm at I know, I'm at their gym, and
their gym is like a it's a circuit gym, but
with a boxing basic boxing main focus. And I've been
going there for I think six weeks and I've already dropped.
I've almost dropped five kilos.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Are you fighting another celebrity?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I don't think so. They won't tell me, but no.
All I've asked is please don't arrive with a bay
of plenty province or rugby player. Please don't show it
with a massive, huge Parkinson. But it's all fair, like
I'll be fighting someone. We both have to end up
being the same weight. Like I just glossed.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Sorry I missed it, and I glossed over your weight
loss number.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
How much have you lost? And what I've dropped? Five?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I've dropped five kilo in about six weeks.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, So they've got like a the way you kind
of just watch what you're eating, a lot more protein
and a lot of calorie counting.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
This is gonna sound like I'm blowing smoke up your ass.
But there was something about that last video that we
posted down at the beach where you looked a little
bit better, like you looked your your physic.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You looked a little bit more. I wasn't at the beach.
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I was just at the snow. At the snow when
you're at the site. Oh, I just noticed in that video.
I was like, Jordan's looking quite trim.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Not Jody says, not too much change. But you're not,
as you know, puffy you thought puffy before? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you've lost some puff. If you don't know someone's puffy
until they lose the puff. This is exciting. This is
just a self source. I've just come out. If you
can I be present?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Can you be present? You potentially can be present. If
you want to travel all the way to watch just
six minutes of fighting, you can definitely be present. Do
you know what's great about this too?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As it's the perfect warm up to you fighting Art Green,
who also has one boxing fight to his name.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Has he had a fight he fought for? Yeah? I
need you to agree the fight first before I give
you the stats.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Do you agree to fight Art? Green.

knock him out.

Cool he beat An all Black. Wow, he beats Zaan Gilford.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, I couldn't beat our Green. He's huge, his his

the same skeleton, but I've floated in and out. Me

Like a year.
Speaker 1 (29:32):

jab is, I know the numbers. But you think you're
good and then you get on the pads with these
guys and they're like throwing combos at you and I'm

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Okay, good secret. I've got a clear whether you're having
a boxing fight. We kept a secret even from like
good mates down here that like they know the gym
they go to the other sister Jim. But I was like,
I don't want to tell, and Joni's I'm going to
invite everyone. I was like, no, stop, no, this is
for me, not for I don't want to hear like
Daniel and Jeff and that and the thing go Joel, hurry,
(30:58):
I throw a punch, like that's the last thing you
want is your idiot mates there.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I want to come and do some like body work
on you because I can't get hid in the head.
So I'll just come with some gloves and I'll just
pound your body for a bit.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, in a month. In a month, you can be
hid in the headbaite you come down. We'll have a spa. Okay,
in the spa. We'll just hop in the spa and
the web a spar and the web a spa. After
this quick break, we'll have some feedback on cleaning secrets.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, big secret, no taking kids out of school. We've
got an update on what the fine is if you
get caught taking your kids out of school?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Should what do you mean if I get guy posted
all on the bloody Internet? Sure, welcome back. This is
you're a feedback on the Parenting House.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Remember how we had that message from Tie.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Actually I can play it and he really scared us
about David Seymour finding you and finding you.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
For taking kids out of school. Yeah, miss yet, this
is this was the message. Hey guys, just say I
love the podcast.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So yeah, Fines for deliberate non attendance are a thing,
and they have been a thing for quite some time.
This actually featured in the original Education Act from nineteen
eighty nine, but more recently. David Seymour was in charge
of this Act at the moment, so there's plenty of
news articles about him finding people or being able to
find people anyway, doing a great job. Just wanted to say,
(32:18):
keep it up.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Terrifyingly brief message, no information.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah no, that left us freaked out a little bit.
So a politician here will find us and then find us.
So the whole time I was on the mountain, I
just was looking at my chest to see a red
sniper light on my chest. I was gonna be taken out.
It was unnerving time.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Pardie helicopter flying across the mountain with data seymore hanging
out the window. Thankfully Tie has followed up with some
more information.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Oh thank you, hey Clinton Jordan. Firstly, I was listening
to your podcast today. When I heard Jordan's reaction, I
got some very funny looks from my work colleagues. But anyway,
the details, so, it is thirty dollars a day to
a max of three hundred dollars for your first defense
and then up to three thousand dollars for your second defense.
(33:06):
The good news is it is very rare for them
to either actually find anyone this. I spoke to someone
who works in fluency at a high school up here
on Fung today. She has no idea how it even works,
so you're probably fine with taking the kids on holiday
or for the odd trip down to Rota or on
a Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I love how he's got all of ours cataloged.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He's like, Clint, I know you took the kids to
Rota on a Friday, Jordan, I know you went to
the snow midweek trip to the snow. But don't worry, guys,
I'm sure you'll never get fined. Part of me.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Thinks he's undercover as politician. That's what I mean, just
cooling up casually like hey guys, hey definitely not me,
and he's getting all this sintail on us. Thanks for
the info. Yeah, I'll continue to take the kids out
and but yeah, on the serious note, it's more trying
to target parents that are just like fuck it, fuck
it's exactly way to school, sweet airs, don't go to school, Like,
(33:57):
come on, parents, unless your kids sick, get them off
to school.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
That's one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's good to know what the figures are.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thirty dollars a day, up to three hundred dollars for
your first defense and three grand for your second defense. Again,
if you're the sort of parent who can't even be
asked getting your kid off to school, Like, I doubt
you're even going to pay those fines as well.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It sort of speaks to a bigger issue. But yeah,
good to know that it's there. Wee we felt really bad.
We haven't no teachers have said hey, where were your
kids or anything to us since we've been back, but
we felt really bad because we pulled the trigger. I
told you, I messaged you and said we were going
to be going on Tuesday, but the weather was going
to end up being bad while we were there, so
we decided to pull the trigger a day early. So
(34:41):
it's like Monday lunchtime. I'm having lunch with my wife
and we're looking and I'm like, I think we go now,
I think we pulled trigger. Quickly, load up, sort we'll
go get the kids. I get to school to the
intermediate where my daughter goes. She comes over and she's like, Dad,
what's going on? And I've pulled her out only half
an hour before her school was going to finish. She's like,
I was just about to do my school speech. You
(35:04):
know how speeches are a massive thing. She's like, and
she's like, now I'm gonna have to be that kid
that comes back and just has to stand up and
like a week later and do a speech. So she's
doing that today and I felt we felt really bad
about that, but we're like, but we're going there this
smash and she was fine. No, yeah, she was fine.
She was fine. I want what do I want feedback on?
(35:26):
I've had it's my head knock. I've had a complete
hip knock.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's your fourteen year old hid knock. Do you want
missages some people who want to fight you?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Nah, I've completely I've completely got. But I'm really going
to investigate my head knock. You need to go and
find out and come back, because I am getting more senile,
Like I'm at my dad's level of being senile and
I'm only thirty six. Like I will walk into rooms
and forget what I'm looking for and then get angry
and come back into my office and then an hour
later be like, oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
That a money thing, Yeah, the money.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Doing quick tip for people on that that I've started
using as the reminders function in your phone. So if
you've got an iPhone, you'd say, hey, Sari, remind me
to do this thing at this time. And if you've
got Google, use go like, hey, Google, remind me to
post a video about circumcisions at seven o'clock tonight, And
(36:17):
then it just does it and you just get it
to remind you about everything. You can get it to
remind you about things in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, I still use that and still have issues. I
use that and have issues. My wife knows the whole
household nos like me. Every day is it comes up?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, I need to do a video on how to
Dad's page about it of me trying to find keys
or my wallet or my socks or my towel or
just where where am i? I wake up? Where am
I is? Anyone seen where Dad is?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Where? Ah?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Okay, well Jordan can't remember what he wanted. But we
do want some feedback for next episode. So if you've
got any questions that you want to ask us about anything.
This is a bit of an ama. Send us a
voice message on Instagram or Facebook is fine to keep
it under a minute.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Little little message will get you in next week's podcast. Yeah, topics,
ideas you wantus to talk about, feedback anything. It's basically
we're doctor Phil here. We have two professional dads with
degrees in scientologist science.

That suit not so concerned about your one no offense,
But now that I've shared mine, they're like, they're just
thinking and they a story than me. Yeah sorry mate,

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah right, believe it to receive it. Hey, guys, we're
back on time this week.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
No fresh concussions anyway, but we will explain how I
got my concussion. And it turns out Jordan's carrying a
long term headed jury as well.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
That we need to address. Yeah, I just kind of
wanted to, like yours was your story is pretty amazing.
Just wait, guys, it's grabbed the popcorn. And then I
was like I just want a big dog. I just
want to come in here and basically can cuss them
again and share my concussion story. So I flopped it
out and did that, and sorry, sorry to rain on
your concussion parade. And then also, like last week, you
(01:54):
built up the fact you had this big secret and
I thought, nah, stuff that. The whole week you ate
at me and I was like, I've got a secret.
I've got a secret that I've held from you guys,
from Clint for six weeks now, it's kind of it's
a big The people I've shared it with are like, oh, yeah,
I did that, but I did that like twenty years ago,
like when I was twenty, not when I'm thirty six,
and I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It's a big news announcement. It borders on midlife crisis stuff.
But for an album, your Dad, this is big news
that Jordan's going to reveal on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Why did we not talk about that? That folly is
it's a quarter and my midlife it's a quarter to
midlife crisis. Kick out the ass.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah, we don't even talk anymore before we start this podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
We just log on and then start recording.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So what you're hearing is genuinely all Jordan and I
talk about each week.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
This is our These are our whole conversations, These are
our whole catchups. Some people think these podcasts are heavily
edited and we take it out and we move stuff
around that We didn't want it to be like that.
That's just that's just a couple of dads having some banter.
And the other thing we do now even more so
is we don't talk outside of the podcast, No, because
we want to capture it all the podcast, So I
(03:09):
will quickly take you back to my news bulletin news
last week's that was terrible, last week's podcast. If you
weren't on socials or you may have checked in on
your normal day to find us, and we weren't there one.
I was down at the snow and having an absolute nightmare.
We recorded the podcast fine, and then I'm trying to
upload the files for Clint and I think it's all
(03:30):
on me, and I'm like, holy shit, and I can't
get these stupid files to upload from this batch that
I'm staying at. And then I get a message, a
very cryptic, slash, kind of strange, weird message from Clint.
Don't worry mate, I've suffered a concussion today and I've
got to be away from my screen. And I'm just like, sorry,
what are you okay? What's gone on? He's like yeah,
(03:51):
but I can't, so don't stress about the podcast. I'll
do it tomorrow. And that just opens and I look,
I knew I didn't want to hound you and be
like what's happened? Because you see, you know you've got
to be away from screen. So again I've not hounded you.
For the fact you had to be away from screens,
and then you did a post to the people for
the podcast, and then our very we've talked about many
(04:14):
times insane. The most ripped dad who's the same age
as me and Clint. In New Zealand, Art Green and
his lovely wife Matilda, they've heard about Clint's concussion and
they do a cheeky little, cheeky little Instagram story trying
to figure out this is Clint's post. Clint does a
post that says I walked into a powerpole and got concussion.
So everyone is like, what a million questions? How do
(04:37):
you can cuss yourself anyway? So Art and Matilda do
a cheeky little post trying to act out and figure
out this is how we think Clint did it. Then
I jump on the bandwagon and I still don't know
how right, and I do one as well, just traving
a laugh. And then what happens is the local New
Zealand paper, the New Zealand Herald, run a story, not.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The local, the biggest, the biggest newspaper in the country
decides this is news story that people need to know about.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So this is the headline ZMS. This is the radio
station Clint's on Zadiums. Clinton Roberts teased by high profile
Kiwis after sharing concussion news on social media, and I
sent that link to you and I'm like, have you
seen this? And You're just like, what the fuck is
going on?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And then I started to feel bad after classic Kiwi
style of just I had no idea how extreme the
concussion was. I still don't until you're about to fall
us all in and straight away classic Kiwi, We're just
going to Oh, let's just tease them. This just had fun. Yeah,
And so he got a bit of ribbing and then
it went national. So sorry, mate.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I would hope that if I was in a wheelchair,
you would still give me a bit of light ribbing,
because that's how, you know, that's how we show that
we care in this country. You know, that's what friends do.
So don't feel bad about that. I don't know why
it was so confusing that that's how you would get concussed.
While I admit it's the lamest concussion story ever.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If you were running, I would understand it. But the
fact that you're walking, you're walking your daughter, You've got
to tell us. Now you've got to set up. You're
walking your daughter, Maggie two daycare.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So I'm walking back from Tiwey's school to the car
to take Maggie to kindy. I'm holding her hand. She's
on the building side of the footpath. I'm on the
street side of the footpath, as is the right way
to walk your children on the footpath. It's quite a
narrow footpath where we live, and it narrowed even more
at this bit. There's a car driving pass that I
(06:32):
liked the look of. Don't ask me what the car is,
because it doesn't make the story any better. It was
a late nineties Honda Integra. And I turned, I turned,
I turned, and I probably turned more than ninety I
probably turned close to one hundred and eighty degrees while
still walking and not looking where I was going. And
then I've whipped my head back. And at the second
(06:54):
I've whipped my head back like there must have been
centimeters away from the pole as I turned.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
And I think the thrust.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Of turning my head around plus stepping, because my foot
went past the pole and my head went into the pole,
there's enough force.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
There that if your head came to a.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Sudden stop, and because it got me square in the
middle of the forehead. Anyway, I'm not trying to overdramatize
me walking into a lamppost, but that's how it happened.
And then I dropped to the ground. And then I
was sort of on the ground for about ninety seconds
with Maggie and I had to sort of hold her
hand and try to explain to her what was going on.
As I gathered myself and I said, oh, we just
(07:29):
have to sit here for a minute, because Daddy, I've
really hurt my head. I walked into that pole and
she goes silly pole, which was very cute, and then
all the people in the cafe came out of the
cafe and like, are.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You all right? There was an audience, There was an audience.
It was peak hour.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
It was rush our school drop off in the little
village where we live, in the main street.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The cafe was packed with people. It was very visible.
It was very visible walking into a pole.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Then I went to work that day and felt like
shirt and then I went to the GP straight after
work and they're like, they did the test. They did
the light tests they do on the rugby players on this.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You had a rugby player, hia. I had an HIA. Yeah,
I head injury assessment. Yep.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
They did that thing that they do in the movies
where they go, Okay, we're just gonna ask you a
few questions. What is today's date? Which I couldn't answer
without a concussion. But I said to them, ah, look
I know that because I've just been filling.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Out the ACC form.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So I looked at my watch and it's got the
date on that and they said, okay, and what date
is it. I said, it's the nineteenth of August and
the year I said twenty twenty four, obviously, and they said,
are you sure about that date because it's actually the
twenty first today.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
So that was a thing, or a forgetful thing.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Anyway, they do all the things, and they talked to you
about the symptoms, and then they.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Take you off work for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
They give you a certificate that says don't work, don't
look at screens, which I actually have talked to an
actual concussion person since they're not just a GP, and
they said they're not going on screen things. Is actually
dated advice. It's not the it's not the right advice anymore.
They're looking at screens. Isn't a huge deal for concussions
unless it's making your the worse, and that you should rest,
(09:08):
but you shouldn't rest too much. You should actually be
doing doing some light exercise for blood flow and things
like that. Anyway, I learned a lot about concussion and
feeling good. Yeah, thanks for asking.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And you had that day off work and the following
day two days. Yeah, And I love that there was
an audience. It just makes it so. Do you think
that cafe has CCTV and we can get a clip
of this.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
My friend, who's a police officer, messaged me and she said,
send me the address. I need to try and pull
the CCTV footage because.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
The police have a network of cameras everywhere.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I gave her the time and location and she
went straight into the database and she goes, I've found
the poll. Unfortunately I can't find the footage.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
She found the pholee. Yeah, good to hear that you're
back to normal, mate.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sorry about the delay on the podcast. Guys, but Clinton
now knows not to look at nineteen ninety nine integras.
This isn't fast and the furious and blue neons, blue
neons on her car, and the gear and the gearshaft
spray painted blue. You don't need to be looking or
thinking about doing that stuff anymore. It was just throwback.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I was like, man, you don't see many of those anymore.
That's why I was looking the story of the concussions.
It's like Chinese whispers. And Lucy was picking up Maggie
from kindy yesterday and one of the teachers came over
and said, Lucy, I have to know, is it true
did Clint Raally walk into a pole and get a concussion?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So I didn't start making up a bitter story.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
So my teacher at high school that had like a
scar across her knee, and she told everybody because it
was quite visible, and she used to wear skirts above
the knee and you could always see the scar. And
she told us that she had had a run in
with a shark while she was surfing, and actually she'd
slipped off her bike and the pedal had cut her
knee open.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But she just told everybody that was a shark attack.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So I'm going to start saying that I head butted
a shark.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I don't know you had buttered a dude that was
like crazy, like you took out a criminal. A guy
tried to grab Meggie's backpack and you but yeah, but
he was knocked out. But my concussion was delayed.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
I won.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Hopefully Meggie wasn't too scarred. And the kids are okay, Yeah,
that's fine. Yeah, since your concussion story. I went to
the snow because last episode was being down at the snow.
It was great, good, good bluebird days. And the kids
are now at a level where it's so good, like
you could almost just scare away from them and then
wait at the bottom like it used to be your
(11:35):
heart out next to Nada, Like I can't have you
skiing off the hill edge of this mountain. Now it's fine.
We will zoom off and then they come down or
they're quite fast now, so I'm like not having to
be slow. It was good, great time, great time.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Do they go anywhere other than I don't know what
the two door version of heavy value is, but do
they go anywhere other than the learner slope?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah, we take all of them are up the slopes.
Now we're not okay, we don't go to Learnaville no more.
Bro the chair lift and.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
How they go with getting on and off the chair
left because getting off their little pros terrifying.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, they're little pros. No stress anymore whatsoever. I took
Mila right to the top of Twodor, which I've only
done once. It's called the high noon Lift. And I
got up there and internally I was shitting myself like,
oh why gosh, and here I am because me a
couple of Mela's friends had done and I was like,
let's just get you up there, and you're not gonna
die if worst case, you're just gonna do like breaks
(12:30):
all the way down. But the first teen to fifteen
meters is just sheer ice. So even the pros around
us are talking like, bro, let's go over there, let's
drop in, and they go and then there's fall like
skinning on their backs for a bit. They don't stress
out and they hit the soft snow and they're fine
and they stand up and start. But everyone around us
is like a symphony.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Of just du.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Smash smash smash smash, like falling over. And here's Miela
at the top like I'm trying to talk her, You'll
be okay, let's do this, and we did it. I
got her down, and it's a cool thing that she
can say she's done the high noon.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
This is the concussion in me asking. But do you
wear a helmet when you ski?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I wear a helmet when I ski. I don't know
if I've ever shared this on the podcast really quickly,
because it ties into concussion and helmets on our oe.
Back in twenty ten where we traveled Europe, me and
my wife, we did a six one week sorry over
New Year's snowboarding trip. I had already snowboarded in my life,
and we thought this is cool and we did it
(13:26):
with another set of mates. I didn't get a helmet.
I clearly remember. Twenty year old Jordan clearly remembers my
mates with me getting a helmet and me in the
equipment line going, what a pussy bro, you don't need
a helmet. It's snow, it's snow. What are you up to?
We get up there on the chair lift. I'm coming down.
I hadn't really learnt proper good turns yet on a
(13:49):
snowboard like the little s I could do it one
way or not the other. So coming down this really
icy bit and I'm doing the turn where your back
faces downhill, so I'm kind of slowing my speed, so
downhill is behind me, and I clipped and I whipped
back and smacked my head and it was like concrete.
And I looked up and I've had knocks in the
head from rugby, like little tiny but it's not fully
(14:10):
knocked out. But you know, you get a good knock
in rugby and you have a little black moment and
then you're fine. I looked up, opened my eyes and
the whole alps that I was looking to mountains were
just shaking left and right like oh. And I was
like whoa. And my mate was behind me and stopped
and he goes, you're right, and I was like, yeah,
give me a second. And I looked up again and
it was still doing it, and I was in la
la lambro and no one really I wasn't aware of
(14:32):
how bad it was. No, he kinda was like, oh,
I just walk down. So I walked down, and in
my delirium, I hopped back on the cheerlift and went
back up the hill and then and I couldn't even
I fell asleep on the cheerlift on the way back up,
and someone people that I sat next to wake me up.
And I ended up filling a sleeping bag. I thought
that my head were internal bleeding or something, so I
(14:53):
filled my sleeping bag cover with snow and put that
on my head outside our little house, and I was
just sitting there anyway. I then had vertigo for six months.
I couldn't lean on my left I couldn't lean not
constant it was, and I would look up, I couldn't
look up, and I couldn't sleep on my left hand
side without falling.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Through the bed and eventually hit injury.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I know, and we all kind of at the time,
no one really thought much because we were young, and
we went We went to the emergency French guy who
spoke no English, and he just gave me a neck brace,
thinking that I'd hurt my neck. And I'm trying to
show him, look, bro, look if I look up, I
start to pass out and He's like, put this nicks on.
So then I spent This is on the first day
(15:36):
of the snowboarding trip. So for three days I just
stayed inside like couldn't lie down, hating life and then
being a bogan kiwi. I strapped up my board on
the last day and went up with a bit of
a headache and snowboarding. I wore a helmet and when
I fell, I had extreme head pain and stupid of me,
but I think I'm okay now. But so whenever you
(15:59):
guys look at me or think why is he struggling
to get his words out, just know that I've had
a very very bad head knock.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I'm going to the concussion specialist tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh wow, your help still continues.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like an ongoing thing. I'm going
to the headache clinic. I'm going to ask them about yours.
I'm going to say, should someone who had a brain
injury fourteen years ago and has never had anything done
about it, should they talk to somebody?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I'm going to ask them, yea, should they have like
an MRI? I agree. I feel like if they scan
my brain, they'd be like, WHOA, did you have a
massive traumatic here injury? At some stage I'll be like yes.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm also going to ask if I should be wearing
a helmet when I'm walking on the footpath.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I think so Yeah. I think one of those old
school nineteen nineties highlighted yellow ones you need to wear,
or the cute ninety year old dudes that you see
out on their walks and they put rugby gear on
either rugby head gear. You should have that.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I just quickly on the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
We've just come back. We're recording this a little bit late.
I've just come back from my first ever parent teacher meeting.
First ever because too he's just finished six weeks at
primary school. So this is our first parent teacher meetings.
What an experience. I sat down and I had like
a almost like an out of body experience. I was like, whoa,
this is what this is like. I've only ever been
to parent teacher meetings where I was the kid and
(17:19):
the teacher was being told my mom was being told
how shit I was in the classroom and how disruptive
I was, and how I wasn't wearing my glasses as
much as I should be, and how my handwriting isn't
as good as it needs to be. And so then
to sit there and be the parent, I was like, WHOA,
this is crazy, man. And I also there's one of
those moments where you realized that you are the age
(17:39):
of the people that you thought were adults. Because sitting
opposite Twy's teacher, we were talking to her about Tui
and then she was telling us about her children, who
are the same age as Twoey and Maggie, and I'm like,
oh shit, I'm the same age as the teacher.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, yeah, because teacher has.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Proper adults and I don't think of myself as a
proper adult all the time. I'm like, man, I'm just
a young, cool guy who happens to have kids. But no,
I'm the adult in the room and I'm the same
age as teacher.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
There's so many teachers at my kids' school that are
younger than me, like just a few years. But yeah,
and your head teachers are older than you and wiser
than you. And then you're like, sorry, did I just
over here you talking about clubbing with your other teacher?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Made?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
What you know I got to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
I got the big call up though, from this from
the teachers that before you go, we were discussing in
the staff room and we've got a favor to ask.
And I know this is a big deal, and trust me,
I know how big a deal it is. It's huge honor.
It's actually like a career highlight moment. I've been asked
to DJ.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
The school, the school, discow.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
School, disco those kids are going to be peeking their
tits off when I hit the dance floor at four
point thirty in the afternoon in the school hall for.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
The primary school Disco musical. Mister Daniels from your school
is slightly upset because he started for the last eight
years and now the whispers have gone around the school
as you've started. I think that's Clint from z M.
Is there that Clint guy. They've they're all acting cool now,
but in the staff room someone's just gone.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And I saw that article in the Herald about my concussion,
so they that really edited.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Get him now, get him now. He's a bit dizzy.
He'll say. Yes, we promise there'll be no polls on
the way to the disco and the school grounds. We're
going to put panning around the poles the day that
you show up.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
I hope, I hope there's no poles on a primary
school dance you you have.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
To come up with the playlist and that's there's actually
pressure on you. Now.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I reckon a primary school disco there's less pressure than
an intermediate disco because they're not cool yet. Primary school
kids aren't cool yet. They still like Little Mermaid and
Taylor Swift and things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
The funny thing is you've said yes, and you've said
it yes on a public podcast now, so you can't
say no. But I know how discos run your kids.
All the kids come at different age time, so you're
you're DJing and your kid's only there for a small
part of that time. She's gonna leave, your wife's going
to pick up TWI, and you have to stay on.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
The Yeah, how far do we push?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
How much of a musical education do I give these children?
You know, how deep into the into the twenty ten days?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I think just I think just if they're asking you
and they know like you're not from the school environment,
I think, just first song, my neck, my ba, my
pussy and mar crack, or we just get out.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
There with don't Anna, Kanda, don't want Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, I do get concerned. I've seen a few tiktoks
where young kids spitting the lyrics to the most horrific
songs but their brains don't understand what they're saying. But
kids even singing to that Wap song, I'm like, what
are these parents? What are you doing? Do not be
playing the songs around them? Anyway? Hey, that is that's
a life achievement.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Just go yeah, totally tick the box right, And I
feel like I have to do it. I think I
have to take a day of leave from my job,
but I feel like it's worth it just to go.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
You got it straight away. My school got me to.
Their thing was we'd like you to come and talk
to our teachers. It was a teacher only day. This
is years ago. Come and talk to our teachers. And
I'm like about about what? Like, I don't want to
be a prack. I'm not trying to say no here,
but I'm like, what do I do?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And I was like and they're like, oh, it's like
a technology day. I was like, oh yeah, I could
get up and do it like a how I edit
and quickly turn around a video. So if you ever
want to do stuff in class with the kids, it
doesn't have to be here's some tips. You know. Make
sure the light's not behind them and it's on their face.
Make sure they're not filming by a refrigerator. So this
sounds okay, And I get up there. Do you think
(22:00):
I can get I do like a live how too.
I get some teachers up on stage. It's great and
then do you think I can get the audio to
play here? I am meant to be the tech guy,
but I'm trying to hook him. And it was just
that classic you know on a man system, preferences change
your output, and I'm just in panic mode and I'm
kind of laughing, like this happens though it's a tech
day and it says real life, and I'm showing you
(22:21):
all how you've got to get over a challenge. And
it was about six awkward minutes of silence and of
me every minute now and then trying to break the
ice berg, going hahha, any minute now, and then just
one teacher walks up and figures it out, and I'm like,
thank god, thank you so much. So they didn't get
They've never.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
French from the computer room and they're like, how about
we get him.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
To sort it out. Yeah, they've never asked me back
to speak again, so which is great. I kind of
burnt the first time I got asked, and then we
kind of burnt them all by pissing them off. And
our teachers only talk and how teachers on Teacher's only
Day are just you know, on holiday, so they all
slightly view me in ah you know it was a joke.
It was twenty years ago, Brian, all right, get over it.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah, it's not of December, so I've got time to
work on my playlist. I need a new DJ name
to DJ at a school and probably need an outfit
with some lights on it or something like that.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Nah Nah, DJ Clint, that's great. You want them JA Club,
You want yeah man, because you want them that when
they grow up, they'll remember you and they'll come to
your gigs. Bro, DJ Clint's still cool because DJ Clint
to her kids, it's cool, Well, your name's DJ Clint.
That you don't have to be. You got to realize
kids are way older than what we were when we
were five, six, seven, eight nineteen. Like, you don't want
(23:32):
to come in and be like, who's DJ Krusty Kids,
And then you're like trying to remix Fruit Salad Wiggles
Fruit Salad to another Wiggles song. Like they they want
to hear everything you play on ZDM, the ones that
don't have the profanity in them. They want those songs.
They know the lyrics to all of them.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
You're so right.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I don't want to get I don't want to get
bullied by a bunch of seven year olds.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I need to be.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I need to be. Actually hit me up beforehand, or
we'll talk and we'll compile a list because my kids
are they're all of those ages, and these songs that
they just love that get the kids going. Imagine Dragons
Believer is just it's catt to be in your playlist.
Every kid knows and every kid goes nut. Okay, George
Ezra Shotgun, huge banger for every kid.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah yeah, I said, Oh my god, I see.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Check Tones and another banger. These are ones that all
kids know and as soon as they come on, they
jump up and they're like, oh ship, that's my fucking jam.
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
All right getting the dms. Have you got a must
have song for a primary school disc? I'm going to
start putting the playlist together.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Hey, last week you shared some a big secret with everyone.
You built up your big secret, and I've I've actually
kept a secret from you for the last month, not
only you, but all the listeners.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
So no, do not tell me you went and had
the to me without me.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm still full male, I'm still a real man. I'm
still mainlyer than all you do.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
If you'd had your penis surgery without me, I think
I would have been quite upset.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh you wanted to be there? Or just let you
knowing you want to be there, I want to come,
you want to I want to be here.
Speaker 3 (25:15):

am in end of November. I'm doing something.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Are you doing a half marathon?
Speaker 1 (25:30):

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Are you doing an iron man?

No?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Is it fitness based?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yes?

Yeah, because I've seen the amount of exercise you've been doing.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I am doing.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Are you doing a tough mutter?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Nope, I'm doing a boxing match. Speaking of concussion, you're
going to go You're going to go and talk to
your concussion people and they'ld say he cannot be knocked
in the head ever. Again, I'm like, I'm doing a fight. No,
this isn't This is on a community level. I'm bringing
it down. I'm bringing it down. This is on a
community level. This isn't a big charity televised which I
(26:05):
didn't want. This is a local gym here reached out
and I have jokingly I've said on this podcast and
I've joked about it for years now that I just
never get on top of my health and weight, and
I've slowly put I've put a kilo on every year
since I've had a kid, which is true. I used
to sit at ninety five meals eleven. I'm now one
hundred and six. Like, come on, Jordan, try and get
(26:26):
back down to your sitting weight, which was your sitting
weight for ten years, which was ninety five yea, And
or I've needed something to be the kick up the ass.
And they said, like this is hard out. It's it's
only it's only like three it's only three two minute rounds,
Like it isn't huge. But they said, you gas yourself.
It's all proper, like there's a ref, it's corporate rules.
We your head gear in that. But they say, we
(26:48):
have a two week fight camp. You have to drop
to your way in weight and you will be pushing
the shit out of you and you have to fully commit.
And I'm like, this is it, this is my kick
up the ass. I'm doing it. Sign me out so
I'm fighting someone.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
You only get two weeks of boxing training.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No you get sorry, it's two months. If two months,
it's two months of camp. Sorry again again my head,
not from fifteen years ago, just coming in to haunt me. There.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
So you've started, you're in training at the moment.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So I'm at I know, I'm at their gym, and
their gym is like a it's a circuit gym, but
with a boxing basic boxing main focus. And I've been
going there for I think six weeks and I've already dropped.
I've almost dropped five kilos.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Are you fighting another celebrity?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I don't think so. They won't tell me, but no.
All I've asked is please don't arrive with a bay
of plenty province or rugby player. Please don't show it
with a massive, huge Parkinson. But it's all fair, like
I'll be fighting someone. We both have to end up
being the same weight. Like I just glossed.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Sorry I missed it, and I glossed over your weight
loss number.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
How much have you lost? And what I've dropped? Five?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
I've dropped five kilo in about six weeks.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
That's amazing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, So they've got like a the way you kind
of just watch what you're eating, a lot more protein
and a lot of calorie counting.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
This is gonna sound like I'm blowing smoke up your ass.
But there was something about that last video that we
posted down at the beach where you looked a little
bit better, like you looked your your physic.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You looked a little bit more. I wasn't at the beach.
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I was just at the snow. At the snow when
you're at the site. Oh, I just noticed in that video.
I was like, Jordan's looking quite trim.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Not Jody says, not too much change. But you're not,
as you know, puffy you thought puffy before? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you've lost some puff. If you don't know someone's puffy
until they lose the puff. This is exciting. This is
just a self source. I've just come out. If you
can I be present?
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Can you be present? You potentially can be present. If
you want to travel all the way to watch just
six minutes of fighting, you can definitely be present. Do
you know what's great about this too?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
As it's the perfect warm up to you fighting Art Green,
who also has one boxing fight to his name.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Has he had a fight he fought for? Yeah? I
need you to agree the fight first before I give
you the stats.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Do you agree to fight Art? Green.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
He's so ripped. He is so ripped, but I would
knock him out.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Cool he beat An all Black. Wow, he beats Zaan Gilford.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, I couldn't beat our Green. He's huge, his his
reaches so long. Anyway, I'm a novice. I've talked about
the same skeleton, but I've floated in and out. Me
and Jodi before we got married. We're at a boxing
gym for.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Like a year.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Like I know how to stand, I know what my
jab is, I know the numbers. But you think you're
good and then you get on the pads with these
guys and they're like throwing combos at you and I'm
just now, I think everything's connected to my head. Knock.
I can't remember numbers past four, and they're like two two, six, nine, seven, twelve.
That's just sorry? What And they're just telling you things

He's an amazing boxing coach too.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
So this is great.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Okay, good secret. I've got a clear whether you're having
a boxing fight. We kept a secret even from like
good mates down here that like they know the gym
they go to the other sister Jim. But I was like,
I don't want to tell, and Joni's I'm going to
invite everyone. I was like, no, stop, no, this is
for me, not for I don't want to hear like
Daniel and Jeff and that and the thing go Joel, hurry,
(30:58):
I throw a punch, like that's the last thing you
want is your idiot mates there.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I want to come and do some like body work
on you because I can't get hid in the head.
So I'll just come with some gloves and I'll just
pound your body for a bit.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Yeah, in a month. In a month, you can be
hid in the headbaite you come down. We'll have a spa. Okay,
in the spa. We'll just hop in the spa and
the web a spar and the web a spa. After
this quick break, we'll have some feedback on cleaning secrets.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, big secret, no taking kids out of school. We've
got an update on what the fine is if you
get caught taking your kids out of school?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Should what do you mean if I get guy posted
all on the bloody Internet? Sure, welcome back. This is
you're a feedback on the Parenting House.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Remember how we had that message from Tie.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Actually I can play it and he really scared us
about David Seymour finding you and finding you.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
For taking kids out of school. Yeah, miss yet, this
is this was the message. Hey guys, just say I
love the podcast.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
So yeah, Fines for deliberate non attendance are a thing,
and they have been a thing for quite some time.
This actually featured in the original Education Act from nineteen
eighty nine, but more recently. David Seymour was in charge
of this Act at the moment, so there's plenty of
news articles about him finding people or being able to
find people anyway, doing a great job. Just wanted to say,
(32:18):
keep it up.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Terrifyingly brief message, no information.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah no, that left us freaked out a little bit.
So a politician here will find us and then find us.
So the whole time I was on the mountain, I
just was looking at my chest to see a red
sniper light on my chest. I was gonna be taken out.
It was unnerving time.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Pardie helicopter flying across the mountain with data seymore hanging
out the window. Thankfully Tie has followed up with some
more information.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Oh thank you, hey Clinton Jordan. Firstly, I was listening
to your podcast today. When I heard Jordan's reaction, I
got some very funny looks from my work colleagues. But anyway,
the details, so, it is thirty dollars a day to
a max of three hundred dollars for your first defense
and then up to three thousand dollars for your second defense.
(33:06):
The good news is it is very rare for them
to either actually find anyone this. I spoke to someone
who works in fluency at a high school up here
on Fung today. She has no idea how it even works,
so you're probably fine with taking the kids on holiday
or for the odd trip down to Rota or on
a Friday.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I love how he's got all of ours cataloged.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
He's like, Clint, I know you took the kids to
Rota on a Friday, Jordan, I know you went to
the snow midweek trip to the snow. But don't worry, guys,
I'm sure you'll never get fined. Part of me.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Thinks he's undercover as politician. That's what I mean, just
cooling up casually like hey guys, hey definitely not me,
and he's getting all this sintail on us. Thanks for
the info. Yeah, I'll continue to take the kids out
and but yeah, on the serious note, it's more trying
to target parents that are just like fuck it, fuck
it's exactly way to school, sweet airs, don't go to school, Like,
(33:57):
come on, parents, unless your kids sick, get them off
to school.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
That's one hundred percent correct.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
It's good to know what the figures are.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Thirty dollars a day, up to three hundred dollars for
your first defense and three grand for your second defense. Again,
if you're the sort of parent who can't even be
asked getting your kid off to school, Like, I doubt
you're even going to pay those fines as well.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
It sort of speaks to a bigger issue. But yeah,
good to know that it's there. Wee we felt really bad.
We haven't no teachers have said hey, where were your
kids or anything to us since we've been back, but
we felt really bad because we pulled the trigger. I
told you, I messaged you and said we were going
to be going on Tuesday, but the weather was going
to end up being bad while we were there, so
we decided to pull the trigger a day early. So
(34:41):
it's like Monday lunchtime. I'm having lunch with my wife
and we're looking and I'm like, I think we go now,
I think we pulled trigger. Quickly, load up, sort we'll
go get the kids. I get to school to the
intermediate where my daughter goes. She comes over and she's like, Dad,
what's going on? And I've pulled her out only half
an hour before her school was going to finish. She's like,
I was just about to do my school speech. You
(35:04):
know how speeches are a massive thing. She's like, and
she's like, now I'm gonna have to be that kid
that comes back and just has to stand up and
like a week later and do a speech. So she's
doing that today and I felt we felt really bad
about that, but we're like, but we're going there this
smash and she was fine. No, yeah, she was fine.
She was fine. I want what do I want feedback on?
(35:26):
I've had it's my head knock. I've had a complete
hip knock.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
It's your fourteen year old hid knock. Do you want
missages some people who want to fight you?
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Nah, I've completely I've completely got. But I'm really going
to investigate my head knock. You need to go and
find out and come back, because I am getting more senile,
Like I'm at my dad's level of being senile and
I'm only thirty six. Like I will walk into rooms
and forget what I'm looking for and then get angry
and come back into my office and then an hour
later be like, oh that's right.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
That a money thing, Yeah, the money.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Doing quick tip for people on that that I've started
using as the reminders function in your phone. So if
you've got an iPhone, you'd say, hey, Sari, remind me
to do this thing at this time. And if you've
got Google, use go like, hey, Google, remind me to
post a video about circumcisions at seven o'clock tonight, And
(36:17):
then it just does it and you just get it
to remind you about everything. You can get it to
remind you about things in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, I still use that and still have issues. I
use that and have issues. My wife knows the whole
household nos like me. Every day is it comes up?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, I need to do a video on how to
Dad's page about it of me trying to find keys
or my wallet or my socks or my towel or
just where where am i? I wake up? Where am
I is? Anyone seen where Dad is?
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Where? Ah?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Okay, well Jordan can't remember what he wanted. But we
do want some feedback for next episode. So if you've
got any questions that you want to ask us about anything.
This is a bit of an ama. Send us a
voice message on Instagram or Facebook is fine to keep
it under a minute.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Little little message will get you in next week's podcast. Yeah, topics,
