Back in the day

When we get up
For this radio show
Probably not as much
We spoke to
One of the
Contestants from
Love Island Australia
Callum Hole
He was like
Oh I've just been out
Till four in the morning
And he was in here
And
He seemed Looking better than me.
You would not, honestly, without a word of luck,
you would have no idea that he would be surviving on one or two hours sleep.
No.
I mean, when you say looking better than me, that's not much of a bar to sit.
But yeah, I couldn't believe it.
He was fresh as a daisy.
Fresh-faced.
He was bubbly.
He was, you know, just, you know.
Just imagine that. He used a nine o'clock barbecue on a Monday night. He's like, I'm there. I, like, just, you know, I mean. Just imagine that.
He used a nine o'clock barbecue on a Monday night.
He's like, I'm there.
I'm like, it's only nine o'clock.
Yeah.
That's the thing.
You have that.
You've just got that stamina, don't you, in your 20s.
You can just keep going.
I remember, like, some weekends I wouldn't be home for three days.
Turn up on Monday morning.
And I remember, like, you know, being home Friday, you know,
or flats or mates place, and you were like,
oh, it's too early to go into town.
It's not, you know, like, 9, 10 o'clock,
it's too early to go into town.
So it's not too early to go into town.
Man, this is a late night for me now.
Yeah.
I'd love to be home, you know, I have a lovely dinner,
sensible dinner, a few drinks.
You're home by 10, wonderful.
Yeah.
You're right, it's too early to go in.
Too early.
We can't have a kickoff until later. Midnight. Yeah, that's right. Stay here for a bit. You're right, it's too early to go in. Too early. Things don't get good until midnight.
Yeah, that's right.
Stay here for a bit longer.
All right, that's here we go.
God, when did I turn so sad?
The Burner phone.
You can leave us a message.
Should we like to clear the voicemails?
We've got one today.
If you want the number, text BURNER to 4487.
Hey, boys.
My name's Lennon.
You guys call yourselves the Hits, but I really can't help but notice
you're not actually playing any hits.
Example one, Exhibit Bloody A.
Parasilton, hot one.
Absolute hit.
Absolute banger.
Not once I've heard that on the radio.
Exhibit B, Kesha.
Absolute bloody queen.
Third latest album.
Not an inkling of that on the radio.
And I think that's quite disappointing.
When are you going to change your name to The Songs?
Because you're not playing hits,
you're just playing songs.
And when are you going to endorse Kisha's tour,
the only love tour,
to come to New Zealand?
Because I bloody well want to go see it.
But anyway, thank you for your time. There you go. When are we going to call ourselves The Songs? the only love tour to come to New Zealand because I bloody well want to go see it but anyway
thank you for your time
there you go
when are we going to
call ourselves the songs
I mean
the songs this year
it's not quite as catchy
as the hits though is it
I haven't heard
to be honest
I haven't
like I do try and keep up
with all
you know like
the latest
the latest music
but Paris Hilton
I haven't actually heard
well we'll plug my laptop in
I have heard that
she is making music
but I haven't actually heard the actual latest song'll plug my laptop in. I have heard that she is making music, but I haven't actually heard the actual latest song.
So let's try and work that out now.
Kasia, when we do play some Kasia,
we don't always play the hits sometimes
when they first break here at the Hits Radio Station.
We wait for them to become,
because at the start, they're often just songs.
We wait for them to become hits.
And then we, you know, sometimes,
but then sometimes we do go early.
It's not really up to us, to be fair. But Kasia, I had tickets for her show a couple years ago. to become hits and then we, you know, sometimes, but then sometimes we do go early.
It's not really up to us to be fair,
but Akasha,
I had tickets for her show
a couple of years ago.
She was meant to come
to New Zealand
and then unfortunately
couldn't schedule.
We had a wonderful interview
with her once in Las Vegas.
What does Akasha like?
Lovely lady?
She was actually really cool.
We had a very,
very quick interview backstage.
She was opening for Rihanna
and she had to go on stage
in about 10 minutes.
I was like,
sit down,
you've got 10 minutes,
you've got to keep going.
But she was really cool
and she'd just broken out. She'd just minutes. I was like, sit down. You've got 10 minutes. You've got to keep going. But she was really cool.
And she'd just broken out.
She'd just become big with that song, TikTok.
You know, wake up in the morning.
And yeah.
Did you stay and watch her and Rihanna?
I wasn't.
No, I didn't have tickets.
I wasn't allowed to, which was a bit of a shame. So I just came through.
They just got us through the backstage area, sat down and talked to her.
And she was cool.
She drew a penis on my lips.
Oh, she drew a penis on your lips?
How did she get a penis on your lips?
Because she did this little video.
Because New Zealand was one of the first places in the world that she went to number one with TikTok.
And she did a little message I'd seen on her social media saying,
Thanks, New Zealand.
You guys are awesome.
And she pulled back her lip and she'd written with a pen
I heart NZ
on the inside of her lip
oh so you said
I will write something on my lips
I said what's a message
I can take back to New Zealand
and then she drew that
on my lips
I had no idea
I was like what did you draw
that was some nimble drawing
together
and in total
what with the testicles as well
yeah to be fair
it was a bit
you know
but I had to sort of go
what have you drawn
and she goes
it's such and such
and then I did have to
brush my teeth
with a bottle of Jack after that
just to get it off.
It's the only thing she had available backstage.
This is the Paris.
I'm a real big fan of Kesha.
This is the Paris Seldon song.
Hot one.
She does, she DJs as well too.
And then she always says, that's hot.
That's her thing.
That's hot.
That's hot.
That's it.
That's hot. That's hot. That's it.
Producer Joel's looking at him.
He's dancing away to that.
You can see him at sweaty 3am on a Saturday morning.
Yeah, just below.
That would be after like a 10 o'clock going,
well, it's too early for town.
But then he's out dancing to that at 3.
Then she's got a song with that DJ Steve Aoki.
Oh, yeah.
Paris Hilton.
Here's this one.
Very seductive, sultry looks to camera. Yeah I mean Those are hits
So I do see his point
Why aren't we paying
Paris Hilton and Kesha
And what is a hit though
What justifies a hit
In your mind
Well I guess the top charts Top top charts is the top of the charts
yeah top of the top of the charts but hey it's not as you said before it's not up to me for me
i really love olivia rodrigo's songs at the moment i feel like we should be playing more of those
um because they are bangers they're hits and yeah but we are but you know but it's not up to me
so i can't put it i can't put that. But no matter how many emails you send to people.
I send an email.
Yeah, multiple emails.
And brought it up in person.
I've seen you do it.
Stay in my lane.
And that, for me, again,
much like this call we had before,
I'm like, these are hits.
Clearly these are hits.
Playing in the car.
You look at the charts, they're hits.
You're selling out concerts.
The whole family will enjoy it,
not just the kids.
This is what he's been saying in person and in email.
You compare that to some of the other... You are. You're saying I'm the kids, you know? No, no, this is what he's been saying in person and in email. I'm like, mate, you know, you compare that to some of the other songs.
I don't know, you know, like.
You are.
You're saying I'm not, but you are.
You are.
You're saying I'm not.
I don't want to discredit any of the other music we play, but you clearly are.
I could go, well, I could leave that, but I could take that.
Give me an example.
No, I'm not going to say any names, but I could say I could leave it.
But that's music.
That is, that's music.
Okay, we're playing Nickelback.
What do you think?
I feel sorry for Nickelback.
I feel like they make just as good a rock music as a lot of other bands,
but for some reason they're tarnished with this,
oh, it's Nickelback.
It's almost like it's cool to hate on something.
I don't know.
Somewhere along the line they became the butt of a joke,
which I don't know why.
So would you say replace Nickelback with Rodrigo?
Now you've got me on I don't want to bully Nickelback say Replace Nickelback With Rodrigo Well now you've got me on
I don't want to bully
Nickelback
But I'd also like
Olivia Rodrigo
So
Yes
But I'll say
I'll say
I'll say
Currently right now
Nickelback have had
So many hits over the years
And I feel like right now
On the
You know
Yeah
But music's one of those things
Everyone's got an opinion on
Isn't it
Yeah
Anyway
You should stay in your lane.
You're here to talk.
Yeah, I do.
Thanks for your email.
I can play in the car ride on the way home, and I do.
All right?

Do that in your own time.
