from Si, Lana & The Breakfast Club · host rova | More FM
Mānawatia a Matariki, New Zealand! While the country takes a beautiful public holiday long weekend to look back at our history—and parents are actively trying to keep their own kids afloat one week into the school holidays—we are throwing it back to a time when learning to swim was a literal matter of survival! 😳 rescue We are unlocking the Breakfast Club Vault to serve up a long-form holiday classic while you kick back and escape the normal weekday routine. 🗝️☕ The studio completely erupts as the team unpacks the classic, slightly unhinged old-school parenting technique: the "sink or swim" method. Simon proudly defends the tough-love approach of being tossed straight into the deep end, prompting an immediate mutiny from Lana, Speedy, and Bondy who recount their own near-drowning childhood core memories. The phone lines completely melt down as Kiwi callers share their most hilarious backyard pool disasters, river swimming rescues, and the wildest ways their grandparents forced them to learn!
