Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I'm just going to finish with this bloke from
Donnegheese Hunter Daarry talk a bit of foody. There's the
super rugby semis tomorrow. He's the father of Sam Dairry,
the All blacklock and his wife Katrina is the All
Black nutritionist.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
She stars in the Wheat Big Sads. Now.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Sam and Katrina are pretty healthy. I don't know if
you would fall into that category, would you, Hunter?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well, don't tell anyone, Jamie, but I've been trying a
new high fat, high alcohol diet. I don't think it's working,
but I'm not a quitter.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
No, and I noticed that last night at the spates alehouse.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Great to catch up with you, Okay, Donoghe's so you
were a shareholder and that are you a wealthy man?
You should just retire and follow your son around the
world watching All Black rugby.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, that'll be great, Jamie, But you've got to do something.
And I love what I do and having a big
brother like Farmlands now will allow us to innovate more
and bring more products of the market to help farmers
and that's going to be so exciting. So we're really
pumped about about the future. And I can't wait to
get into it.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, you and I are of a similar generation. I
might have a couple of years on your butt, like
I've been coming here for over thirty. I reckon you
might even be longer than that because you have you
been in the egg industry all your life.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
No, detective, if you remember back in the days when
you were just a scallywag and yeah, no, twenty four
years and it is really positive, fantastic the numbers. Normally
you have one or two good days, but three fantastic days.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, So pick tonight's game because I reckon, Sam Darry
and the Blues are going to get a bit of
a towelling from the hurricane. Sorry about that, but picked
tonight be game for me.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I think the Crusaders are proven. I think the Chiefs
choked quite often, and I think we're going to see
it again.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You're in Hamilton, right, and do you give the Blues
anych other? I give the.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Blues classes permanent body. Barrett's back and here's class. Don't
give up on him. Go the Blues.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah no, A Barrett will never let you down. Hunter.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Great to see you last night, Thanks much, Jo spokes
al House. He had to put up with all the
noise with the Rural Radio and Podcast Awards
