Nickson and Nate

We’re back for a brand new season and we’re honoured to have Vaovasamanaia Seilala Mapasua as our first guest for the year. It was important to us to have Seilala on the show to share his story about coaching Manu Samoa and some of the hurdles he faced along the way. We talk about his journey in Rugby, his aspirations for the game in Samoa and other Pacific nations, and what lies ahead in this new...

That’s a wrap for 2024. What a year it's been. We finish up the season with a few appreciations, we drop a few stats on how you guys have rocked with us this year, our ol’ mate Zeke joins the show for old times sake, and we finally answer some of the burning questions you guys had for us over the year. Have a great holiday and we’ll be back in Jan for a massive 2025!

Now that we’ve officially partnered, it was only right that we got the co-founder of Trust Motors on the show. George has an amazing story from hitting rock bottom to reaching the heights he’s at now. The story of how him and Nate met and what sets Trust Motors apart from other car dealerships.

It’s been a year of ups and downs. As we approach the end of 2024, we go over a list of our wins and fumbles. Find out why Nate has almost become an influencer for the CPAP machine and what Nickson thinks his biggest achievement has been this year. 

We’ve got it all in this episode. From conspiracy theories to C-PAP machines, ChatGPT vs. Siri, and a quick update on Nickson's Mayoral aspirations. Nate suggests a few ideas on how Nickson can secure more votes from the Pasefika community and Bossman Lui puts the guys minds at ease as to whether or not they’ve been blacklisted from the Pacific Music Awards.

We're back... Again. Thank you for your patience. We have a real good chat about our M.I.A, Nickson and Nate catch up on all the things that have happened since Episode 49. We touch on some of the current events, our new sponsorship deal, a new podcast in the works, and our regular bullsh**. We won't leave you guys again!

Nickson makes a bold move and shares some of the detail about his new Mai FM contract. We have some insightful yarns about the media industry, finances, and relive a few moments from our own media journey’s. 

Rugby legend Charlie Faumuina is on the show today. Fresh off an 8 year stint in France, we chat with Charlie about his journey from grassroots to professional Rugby, how he used to dabble in Real Estate and his love of a good Poker game. We get into some real good yarns about how life goes after you leave a professional outfit like the All Blacks, and how to adjust to regular life. 

After so many tries we’ve successfully managed to get content creator and Niu FM radio host Regan Foa’i on the poddy. We talk about his early start in online content, his journey into radio, Regan demands an apology from the guys about the Niuean slander, and we touch on the Bluwave podcast drama. 

We have the brothers, Phatz482 and Uso_Jax on the show today. We talk about their quick rise to stardom, early beginnings, what it’s really like in the content creation game and what their takeover plan is for the next 6 months and beyond. It’s a wild episode. 

We’re back for a new and slightly different Nickson and Nate podcast. We’ve set up in a new studio and the guys all catch up on the last month of being away. Nickson’s back from Thailand with a few horror stories, Zeke returned from a mystery trip to Sydney and he’s now on crutches, and Nate revisits a few business ideas he talked about a few months ago. We address the Niueans that we upset in epi...

There's a few important messages in this episode so listen out. Nickson is back after missing Tuesday's ep, so Nate fills him in on the latest developments. Zeke for some reason asks Nickson for another "Hot Take" and has a wild take himself about Niue. We're taking a two week break while Nickson goes off to recharge in Thailand, and when he returns, get ready for an all new...

On this episode we have former radio guy, Bossman Lui join us. We go over his 20 year radio history, from his beginnings at Niu FM, his time at Mai FM, and the relationship he's had with Nate for all of the 20 years. This isn't just a regular guest spot too. Bossman Lui is joining the Nickson and Nate team as our boss, and we're starting to build our little team with the addition of ou...

Another episode, another hot take. Today's hot take is just as wild as the others, Nate wants to get into the Olive Oil business, we chat about the public health system, Nickson reckons where exactly his life will end and gives us the latest update from T-Money's love life.

Nickson reckons men are being classed as soft according to some reports, because men are not taking up more of this, find out why T-Money is scared to go to Westfield Manukau now, and here are our takes on the upcoming NRL games plus we revisit a few NRL scandals.

We're back at it again, and by "back at it again" we mean Nickson has another hot take up his sleeve. We quickly do some NRL housekeeping, Nickson is hyped for his holiday to Thailand and we've been getting more support for this night market idea. Never short of ideas on the Nickson and Nate podcast.

Just us two on the pod today. Nickson's definitely on a roll with rarking people up and has a hot take that leaves Nate a bit stunned. Nate has another business idea which revolves around dating and this could be a TV series, plus we have some big news in the next few weeks so keep up with us!

We've got our favourite conspiracy theorist, Zeke in once again. A round of applause for his take over the weekend. We talk a bit about the Warriors, the Top 8 in the NRL and whether or not the Broncos are going to make it, and Nate wonders how to get a black belt in Brazillian Jujitsu and is inpired with yet another bright idea.

We have a whole lot to debrief on in today's episode. We chat about last weekend's NRL games, Nickson lost his shit over what his neighbour did - twice, we talk about the upcoming season of Celebrity Treasure Island, Nate discovers a new Zen in gardening and we reckon we should switch our money making scheme to the Night Markets.

Ahead of what will be an emotional game tomorrow, we have Warriors super fan, Robert Harris on the show. Also known as "CookIslandKiwi", Rob walks us through his journey as an unwavering Warriors fan, and we talk about the fans, the players, the coaches and the jerseys, plus Rob has a special message for Shaun Johnson ahead of SJ's final home game tomorrow.

Today's a good day to break down some of the weekend's sports. Zeke is in and we chat the NRL and UFC. It's getting exciting as we inch closer to finals footy and we chat about why that UFC ref got fired.

We have Mai Homerun host, Randy Sjafrie on today's ep. He comes at the request of, "What you guys did for T-Money, could you do for me?". Nate digs into Randy's love life, while Zeke is around for moral support (sort of). We talk upbringing, dating, and what Randy's looking for in a woman. There's no Nickson on today's ep too, we send love to Nickson and Sarah after t...

Today's episode hits deep. We have The Edge's Sharyn Casey on the show and Nickson and Sharyn lay it all on table and talk about what exactly went down during Nickson's time on The Edge and why Sharyn was emotionally charged about Nickson's return to Mai. Things get a bit real while Nate lays in the cut. Plus we find out the real reason why Nickson and the team were at Christopher...

Today we address the elephant in the room. Nate's picks for the "Road to $100k" takes us back to square 1. Nickson debriefs about his time in Wellington for the All Blacks v Pumas game, we give Shaun Johnson his flowers, and Zeke runs through some of the interesting picks for this weekend.

We have Producer Troy Scott a.k.a T-Money, from the Mai Morning Crew on the pod today and we get straight to it. We play matchmaker for T-Money and Nate has a few strategies for him to try, in hopes of getting him an Island girl. We talk about his radio journey and T-Money expresses his true first impressions of Nickson.
