Today’s guest is the extremely funny, ridiculously wonderful Eli Matthewson, who I am very lucky to be able to call my friend, thanks to our experience this year on Dancing with The Stars. Eli is a comedian, and a breakfast radio host for The Edge, and has also managed to squeeze into his extremely busy life a new doco about porn, with good friend and fellow funny man Chris Parker.

Welcome to Kiwi Yarns - those yarns you have where you sit down, put the kettle on, pour a whiskey or crack open a beer I honestly don‘t mind. Anyway! We‘re sitting down and we’re yarning to some great New Zealanders, their back stories, their front stories, even stories where they went sideways, we will go there. It’s a place where we celebrate the great people of this glorious nation.

Today’s guest is one of the country’s best surfers, Paige Hareb.

The proud professional athlete from mighty Taranaki and the beautiful Oakura Beach, Paige has had a hugely epic career since she became the first woman from New Zealand to qualify for the Championship Tour. She’s been monumental in the growth of female surfers here which we love!

The two have come together to race in the double sculls and have their sights set on gold in Paris. What’s really cool, is Lucy and Brooke are not only world class professional athletes, they’re world class professional new mums - showing the remarkable strength and toughness women have returning to this level of sport after having a baby.

A really open an honest chat about tackling both!

Today’s guest is Man Can Cook - a man, who coincidently, can cook ridiculously delicious food. He does this with his Pug, Fraser.

Daniel Rankin’s cooking videos draw you in because he’s always dressed up or Fraser the pug is always dressed up and there’s food being cooked, and Fraser is so well-behaved but it’s hectic and brilliant and I just had to chat to him. You can follow him on Instagram and TikTok, the vibes are fabulous.

Daniel is also the owner and head coach of a gym here in Tamaki Makaurau.
