On the Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons Full Show Podcast for Tuesday the 26th of May 2026, a Napier man takes paintball revenge on boy racers after failing to get the ear of police or his local council.

Then the notion of a ‘trad wife’ - is there a part of this that is good?

And to finish an hour of tales of stupid accidents around the house including incidents with sharp implements, bungled home surgery and starting a fire with a little bit of petrol. Beware, there is blood involved.

And to finish - nailing a big speech – Jason Pine’s masterful utilization of Afred Lord Tennyson’s Ulysses at the A League Grand Final.

Jason Pine shares the inside story of a magnificent introduction and who persuaded him to wear THAT outfit!
