On the Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons Full Show Podcast for Thursday the 22nd of October 2026, the Afternoons team spoke to former defence minister Ron Mark about NZ First's defence plan: Enforce ‘warrior’ mentality, no diversity hires and spend 3 percent of GDP and followed by asking; Have we lost our warrior mentality?

And then our Afternoons duo discussed treatment of politicians- should we be applauding them or heckling them?

Plus, they got some hot takes on nepotism.
