Speaker 1 (00:00):
For all you mad bastards loving the big show podcast
get up even closer.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
On instagram youtube and tiktok or raw doggies four to
seven every weekday on radio.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Oh good day fellas backbone hello Jeez, we had some
technical dramas. It's going to be a slightly shorter potty today,
so we need to talk really quickly, okay?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Well, no, I think we just do the shorter but
the same sort of speed.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
But we just ramp up the quality of the chair.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Right, okay.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
So it's like a concentrated sort of like this is
really good, shorter but it's really good.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Really focused. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Sometimes shorter is good, you know?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, I agree with.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
You, man.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
But not height-wise.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, I mean, it depends if you're a scrum half,
it is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You know, you don't want to be a massive six-foot
scrum half, Keezy.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
You know Jase can't pass with his left hand, man?
Speaker 6 (00:57):
I do.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Have you noticed that?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It's a sore spot.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We've been chucking around the footy, and it's like, Jase,
pass with your left hand. And he's like, I can't.
But he won't even try, man.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, no, well, like, Keezy's trying to get me into
a social rugby team.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, prems.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Prems.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, he's not. He's just annoying you with it.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah. And I know that if I actually played a
game of rugby... I'd have a heart attack within five minutes.
Someone would deduge me and I'd be like, I wouldn't
get up again.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
One of those things when you're at school and you're
just like, oh, I hope that guy gets it because
I can smash him.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I could smack him. That guy I can smash.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
100%.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
When you know it. And then that person gets the
ball and everybody just goes, yay!
Speaker 5 (01:35):
And they try and smash that person. My mate used
to be like that, and he'd just throw the ball
over his head.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Oh, the ultimate coward move. The runaway throw the ball
over your head.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
It was smart.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Just quickly, Jase, so you're not keen to play a
season of prems at halfback?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Because college rifles are interested.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
I remember the amount of grief I used to get
doing umpiring, and that was just through Moon TV. And,
you know, it's very hard to be taken seriously.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
But that's as a rare for umpire.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I'm just imagining you putting the ball in the scrub
and taking an eternity to get round to the number
eight's feet.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Exactly. And because I'm a top radio DJ, I'd be targeted, Keezy.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You could commentate it as you went.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
When he spins it wide to Keezy on the burst.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Yeah, because I'll play with you.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He'll also play in the Prims.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, he'll be on the wing. Sure. In really tight shorts.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. Why tight shorts?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And never get the ball.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, that's right. Just freezing, just teeth chattering.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, you're just chattering.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Hugging yourself.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
But my jersey's nice and clean.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, yeah. 100%.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You don't get dirty or ever go on the ground
the entire match.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
What position did you play, Mogi?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
I played, excuse me, second five in wing, and then
they put me at fullback. Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Which was a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I hate fullbacks.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Because I was so unfit.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And also when someone breaks through.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
For that.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
And it's like, oh, cool, so I'm just going to.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I distinctly remember one of those occasions, actually, Keezy.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Distinctly remember that.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
They score between the posts?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Well, it was one of those ones where you can
either go, it was a two-on-one. So it was a
simple case of draw and pass. What did you go for?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I went for the intercept.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Did he dummy it or pass it?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
He passed it. He did pass it at least. Yeah, right, okay.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But that always sticks with me. I should have put
one of them down. One of the guy's names was
Omar Hidani. I should have just smashed him.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I went to school with him. I went to primary
school with him.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
If he hears this, just know you'd be saying, oh,
at the moment he'd be saying, oh, you couldn't smash me, Mikey.
I would have absolutely smashed you to pieces, Omar, and.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You'd know it.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
What year was this?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh, should we go back a ways now, there and there?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
What would that be?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
93?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Yeah, Omar.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
1993.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
How old were you, Keezy?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Five.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Two.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Two.

The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Oh, g'day, Matt.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
Oh, hi, mate.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Look, if you want the chance to win all our
on-air competitions and stuff and get amongst the live conversation,
tune in to the Hauraki Big Show, four to seven
weekdays on Radio Hauraki and iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The Hauraki Big Show podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Why don't we line up you and Omar again and
we can replay it?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
We should do it again.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
And so Hoity J, was Omar the one passing or catching?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Catching.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So what we'll do is we'll have Hoity J running,
passing it to Omar.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yeah, Jase, I just need you to throw one up
so he has to catch it over his head and
it just opens up his ribs.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, so he can hammer it. You've just reminded me
of a situation. I used to play flanker. And I
remember there was one game we had our biggest.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
How old were you when you were playing flanker?
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Seventh form. with third formers, and it was the biggest
crowd that we'd had on the sidelines at home.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Four.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
No, there was quite a number, and we were winning
by two points with about one or two minutes to go.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You butchered it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And this guy got a break, and I heroically– as
the last man standing sprinted after him and was about
to dedouche him in the corner and he just sidestepped
me and scored under the bar. And we lost the game.
I remember that so well and everyone was just going, oh, fuck, Jase.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
What did you do? Did you dive?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He was going down the sideline and I was– Cutting across.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
And he stepped in.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And he just went douche. And I just stopped and went, oh.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
He did me. He totally did me.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Far out.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But it was because I was running at full tip.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So that when he changed direction, I was like, oh.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I was fucked.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You're committed.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
They always step in. And it always works. It always works.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So this is why when we play College Rifles next season,
which is coming up soon, actually. No, it's next year,
going into winter. You'll be able to redo that and
fucking nail it, man.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You just have to start doing your shuttles, Jase, running
your shuttles. You'll have to do the beep test.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'll get you a headgear.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh, you're going to need a headgear.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, a mouthguard. Do you want shoulder pads?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We'll get the full American.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Football gridiron kind of look.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Need support.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Some of the kids when I used to play war,
and even through high school, wore shoulder pads and shit. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
There was a period there, especially with the NRL, where
they were doing that, and then they got rid of them.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, because it looks fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Did you guys play with any guys that went on
to do really well? I played with a guy. He
was in the first 15, but he was two years
younger than me called Slade McFarland.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Oh, yeah, he was good.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Was he Taranaki?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, no, Blues. He played the Blues. Did he? Yeah,
for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He could play the Blues?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
He played for the Blues. I'm pretty sure it was
the Blues.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And he played.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
At school, he was like a unit. He was a hooker.
He was a big guy. But then when he left school,
he just went douche and became this enormous man.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, no, that's not who I was thinking about at all.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think I played against Sam Cade once.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Before he was like, yeah, he was probably like 14
or some shit.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I played against a few good cricketers. Adam Porori I
played against.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Porori. Do you know he climbs Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
He was so, he played for St. Kent's.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hatable.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I get that vibe about him. He must have been hot.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was a good-looking fella, and he had all the gear.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, yeah. And he also had some idea as well.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, he was a good player, but he just rocked
me up the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Do that to a lot of people, though.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You would have been jealous, I'd imagine.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, probably, because I had my flared sort of.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Because he looked like shit and sucked at cricket and
couldn't climb Everest?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Pretty much. Yeah, it's not a great combo you've got
down there. To be fair, he hadn't climbed Everest at
that point.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But you could tell he would. He would. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we'd hear all about it. He'd write a book
about it.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Me and Everest.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
My own personal Everest.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
With me. Parore.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Parore.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Parore.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Parore.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Parore.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So you're not keen then on that? Because I'll tell
them we're not keen for rugby.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Absolutely I'm not keen.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
100%. I think you'd be really good.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think so as well, man. You've got one good
season left in you. Let's just go and get.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Our all, man.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
One tackle and that would be the end of me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Let me put it to you this way, Jase. What's
the downside?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Can you... Can you imagine someone smashing me in a tackle?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
How I'd react to that?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You'd get up and you'd go, all right, mate, that's
how we're going to play. Then you'd flatten them next
time they got the ball. I know what you're like, man.
You're a tough little bastard.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You'd be out cold.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'd nail them. But he can't tackle with his left shoulder.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh, he doesn't know how.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No. Oh, God. So he'd put his head in the
wrong place. He's out. Old Hoity J's out again. He's
having a little kip on the pitch there.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Hey, listen to the big show, full seven-week days.
For all you mad bastards loving the big show podcast

No, there was quite a number, and we were winning
by two points with about one or two minutes to go.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
You butchered it.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
And this guy got a break, and I heroically– as
the last man standing sprinted after him and was about
to dedouche him in the corner and he just sidestepped
me and scored under the bar. And we lost the game.
I remember that so well and everyone was just going, oh, fuck, Jase.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
What did you do? Did you dive?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
He was going down the sideline and I was– Cutting across.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
And he stepped in.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
And he just went douche. And I just stopped and went, oh.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
He did me. He totally did me.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Far out.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
But it was because I was running at full tip.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So that when he changed direction, I was like, oh.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I was fucked.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You're committed.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
They always step in. And it always works. It always works.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Don't know why.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So this is why when we play College Rifles next season,
which is coming up soon, actually. No, it's next year,
going into winter. You'll be able to redo that and
fucking nail it, man.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You just have to start doing your shuttles, Jase, running
your shuttles. You'll have to do the beep test.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'll get you a headgear.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Oh, you're going to need a headgear.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, a mouthguard. Do you want shoulder pads?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, probably.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We'll get the full American.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Football gridiron kind of look.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Need support.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Some of the kids when I used to play war,
and even through high school, wore shoulder pads and shit. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
There was a period there, especially with the NRL, where
they were doing that, and then they got rid of them.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Yeah, because it looks fucking weird.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Did you guys play with any guys that went on
to do really well? I played with a guy. He
was in the first 15, but he was two years
younger than me called Slade McFarland.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Oh, yeah, he was good.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Was he Taranaki?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, no, Blues. He played the Blues. Did he? Yeah,
for quite a while.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He could play the Blues?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
He played for the Blues. I'm pretty sure it was
the Blues.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And he played.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
At school, he was like a unit. He was a hooker.
He was a big guy. But then when he left school,
he just went douche and became this enormous man.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh, no, that's not who I was thinking about at all.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I think I played against Sam Cade once.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Before he was like, yeah, he was probably like 14
or some shit.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I played against a few good cricketers. Adam Porori I
played against.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Porori. Do you know he climbs Mount Everest?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
He was so, he played for St. Kent's.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Hatable.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I get that vibe about him. He must have been hot.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He was a good-looking fella, and he had all the gear.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Oh, yeah. And he also had some idea as well.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, he was a good player, but he just rocked
me up the wrong way.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Do that to a lot of people, though.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
You would have been jealous, I'd imagine.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, probably, because I had my flared sort of.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Because he looked like shit and sucked at cricket and
couldn't climb Everest?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Pretty much. Yeah, it's not a great combo you've got
down there. To be fair, he hadn't climbed Everest at
that point.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
But you could tell he would. He would. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we'd hear all about it. He'd write a book
about it.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Me and Everest.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
My own personal Everest.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
With me. Parore.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Parore.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Parore.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Parore.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Parore.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So you're not keen then on that? Because I'll tell
them we're not keen for rugby.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Absolutely I'm not keen.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
100%. I think you'd be really good.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think so as well, man. You've got one good
season left in you. Let's just go and get.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Our all, man.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
One tackle and that would be the end of me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Let me put it to you this way, Jase. What's
the downside?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Can you... Can you imagine someone smashing me in a tackle?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
How I'd react to that?
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You'd get up and you'd go, all right, mate, that's
how we're going to play. Then you'd flatten them next
time they got the ball. I know what you're like, man.
You're a tough little bastard.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
You'd be out cold.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I'd nail them. But he can't tackle with his left shoulder.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Oh, he doesn't know how.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
No. Oh, God. So he'd put his head in the
wrong place. He's out. Old Hoity J's out again. He's
having a little kip on the pitch there.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Hey, listen to the big show, full seven-week days.
