Unfortunately this morning he's not well.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I'm just having a look at a photo of Deddy
Heath here and not looking too well. Yesterday on the show,
people did see a couple of Texans saying, Madie, sounds
like you're swallowing a bagarre you know, and he was
struggling you So he wasn't he the poor fellow?

Speaker 4 (00:51):
What was he swallowing a bag? And what? I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Look, I'm not going to say what the ticks machine
was saying.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Is it start with D?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah it does and ends with it? Thanks?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, I can, I think I know what you mean. Now, Yeah,
he did sound like he was swallowing a bag of
starting with D in the X.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
He hasn't taken many a sick day in his time.
Has he met Heath? Well, I believe this is his first.
I think it's the first that I can think of
since I've been here.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
First, it's his first, and he's been doing the show
for eleven years.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Okay, thoughts and prayers to Matt Heath please via three
four eight three and had Ache you will pass those
messages on because this is huge. Eleven years.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I just look. No, it's official. We've locked up. We've
gone over the records. Eleven years working in a job,
never had a sick day?

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Is that a record? I mean, that's got to be
close to a record.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'd like to hear from people. Actually, oh eight hundred
hard Ache or three four eight three. You can press
the talkback function on your iHeart radio app. Is there
anyone out there who's gone longer than eleven years and
I had a sick day?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Maybe we're gonna have to We're gonna we might even
have to get tighter on the number. We might have
to narrow it down to just days, because they're gonna
be people out there jury that don't take days off.
I mean, even you yourself, don't take a lot of
sick days. You've taken a couple I mean, I look
for any chance that I possibly can to take a
sick day. Oh I'm a nose dress really to be
here each day. I get twenty each year now, so
I'm going to make the most out of those.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
You get twenty a year? Is that how it works?

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't know do we get ten or twenty?

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Do you get twenty? Tweety is a lot? Like it's ten?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Maybe it is ten.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
It used to be five. I'm pretty sure it's ten. Okay,
I don't know how many I get. I don't know.
I don't haven't taken a lot over the years. Oh no,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It doubled from five and went up ten, didn't it.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, I think COVID. All right, because of COVID. But
welcome along to the show. Met's not going to be
here today, but we're going to sold you on three.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
We're going to power on the Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Matt's away sick for the first time in eleven years.
But we're just watching before the Begladesh versus South Africa
game in the T twenty World Cup being played in
while it's playing in America and in the Western this
as well. And there's one particular pitch in New York
where they've created a They've created a cricket ground because
there's no cricket ground in New York, so I've created one.
They've brought in some stands from the Formula one, yes,

(02:59):
and they've whacked down it was growing somewhere else. They're
flowing it in Florida, I believe was where.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Laura McGoldrick said the pitch was made.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
A strange place to grow a pitch, because I'm not
sure that Florida produces great pitches normally.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
I mean, it's not known for its pitches, is it.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
No? No, although I think they have had a T
twenty game there before, haven't they have?

Speaker 5 (03:17):
They?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
You remember New Zealand playing in another Tea twenty in Florida.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Because I understand that Dallas did some recruiting. They got
some good groundsmen. They've found some guys that experienced from Australia.
But okay, the whacker, I think is what I heard.
They had a couple of groundsmen that were that had
spent a lot of time in Perth, and so the
Dallas pitch is great. They got no issues with the
Dallas purchase. The New York one is causing some serious issues,
and it did again this morning.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, so what was the score? She was a torrid
low scoring affair between being Ladisi in South Africa.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
So South South Africa beaded first. Yeah, one hundred and
thirteen for six off the full twenty.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, so they batted their twenty out and got one
hundred and thirteen.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
I will take you back to yesterday.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
When Pakistan took on India and New York as well,
another low scoring affair, only got up to about one
hundred and thirty odd that pitch, yep, Bangladesh chase one
hundred and nine for seven, just falling short. We watched
the end of it, Jerry, they had a chance.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
They did.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
In fact, they probably should have won it.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah. Well, I think mummidolla he needed was it six
off two balls or something and he had one down
the ground and it just Markrom just ended up taking
the catch just inside the rope running around. It was
a great catch.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's gonna make this tournament interesting if you can defend
one hundred and twenty on a pitch. I think, for
the longest time as a cricket fan, I've always thought
that maybe perhaps the highest scoring the pitch, the better
the games are going to be. Maybe that's not as
true as I thought. Yeah, I don't know. Is there
anything actually that wrong with one hundred and twenty runs
being scored into T twenty and still being exciting. Maybe

(04:46):
there's not. Because Bangladesh they were at a point in
that game where they needed about thirty five or thirty
on any perch. They're getting that done with two overs
to spare. In New York they're not even getting it done.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
No. I mean, I don't want to sound like a bomer,
but like a contest between bat and ball, Mash.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I know you do, and you've got a mass White
on for a contest between bat and ball.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
I have a contest between bat and ball. I want
to see a contest between bat and ball. Samon Us cricket,
I want to see. I want to see a flat,
sodden yielding pitch. I want to see something that does
a little bit. I want to see I want to
see batsmen work hard for their runs and say a
four mean something. I mean a sex mean something. Back
in the day, I think I remembered every four or
every six New Zealand cricket up until nineteen ninety two.

(05:27):
That's you come on really seriously, they were the sixers,
Like there were a handful of sixes that were hit
in the season. I don't even know if there was
a hand there might have been five. Yeah, the old season.
Al Right, it's look, it's time to move on past that.
We need to move on past that.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
That way, I understand that you enjoyed it, but I
think there's I think we need more than a handful
of sixes each season.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
No, I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Okay, this New York pitch is right up your early
with this.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
New York patch. I'm loving this. I'm loving these Torrent affairs.
Nothing better in my good old fashioned battle between bat
and ball. I'm not sure why the picture is so bad.
It just seems to be really really hard to hit
the ball. How is it that bad? I don't know.
I don't know what they've done to it. It's I
think maybe it's ten paced. Not sure.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Matt he Jeremy Wells The Maiden Cherry Show six eighty three.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
On the Mounta Jerry Show. Time for the latest news
headlines and initial post mortem of TV presented. Michael Moseley's
body has concluded he died of natural causes. The sixty
seven year old's body was found in a rocky area
on the Greek island of Semi on Sunday, four days
after he went missing on holiday.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's quite tragic, that, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
It is tragic. We've spoken to Michael Moseley on the
Spree show.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, Matt has alluded to that in the past. How
was he as a bloke?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
A super nice And I spoke to him on seven
Sharp as well, and I spoke to him, m oh,
my goodness, the nicest man in the world.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
So what did he do can I haven't quite understood that.
So did he do a lot of these types of
shows like trevel shows and that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, he was more of a I mean, I think
we talk to him about how to make your life better.
He was focused on. He was like a health and
well being sort of a person, right, But such a
nice guy, a real nice person. That's incredibly sad. And
when I read what his wife had to say about
it yesterday she said we had a wonderful time together,
it was like, oh, come goodness me, oh well, thoughts

(07:19):
with her of course, very sad and eighty fent drop
and ram raids in April compared to the same month
last year. There were twelve this year and sixty four
in April twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Let's put a p it in that and come back
to that in just a second, because that's quite interesting.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Something's going on there. And T twenty World Cup cricket
thriller between South Africa and Bangladesh and New York. So
they was the post at one hundred and thirteen for six.
They screams brogladiesh needed six to win from the final ball,
having sacrificed two wickets and the last over. In the
end they lost by four runs the Bangers.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I'm not one hundred percent sure if that is a thriller,
but by all means I suppose it was close. So
I argue what you're trying to put down there, Jerry.
So there's eighty percent dropping ram raids in April competed
at the same time last year. There was twelve this
year as opposed to sixty four last year.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Now that's that sixty four in April last year. That
is a lot, as nut.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
So was it about this time last year that we
were talking about ram roads a lot?

Speaker 4 (08:12):
Was it? Yeah? I think so. I think twenty twenty
three was the year of the Ram raid, wasn't it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (08:16):
So why why why less ram roads?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Jerry, I've got no idea. My only thought can be
that they've run out of Master demos, so there's no
more Mester demos to steal. I don't know what is that?
Is that the case? If you had a look, well,
I'm looking at the most popular cars to ram ray
in here the Twitter Aqua.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I mean, this is a great list.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Hang on what so what EV's Yeah, it's an ev
isn't it though? Aqua where someone had a little one?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Why is someone buying it? No, they's stealing them, aren't they?
And then and then having no TV's and it's right
at the front of the shop window okay, yes?

Speaker 4 (08:46):
And then then niss and tea Tita comes in at
two yeah, two eyes and titeter.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
This is a great list.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
The DeMeo yep. And then the Atenza is number four.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
So why is the Master getting pumped so much through
shop windows?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
According to Clive Matthew Wilson, you'll know him from the
dog and lemon guy with the strange sideburns.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Oh that some of it?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yep? It was the jumpsuit, so he's waited on this issue.
He has. He said, thieves love small, older Japanese sick
and then imports because they are easier to steal. So
there we go. Clive Matthew Wilson. Oh, that's right, Clive
Matthew Wilson. He was years ago on the Late Night
Big Breakfast and we couldn't get his name right. We
couldn't remember what his name was. Wilson Matthew Clive or

(09:26):
is that that guy Wilson Clive or Clive Wilson Matthew?
Is it that guy from the Late Night Big Breakfast?
That guy? Ah got that guy?

Speaker 6 (09:34):
Great and New's Ilinder The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
The mant and Jerry Show available on your iHeartRadio app
anywhere you are. The wonderful world of very old.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
People getting married.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, when we say very old, we mean very old.
Eighty years to the day after it was engulfed in
a bloody D Day battle, the French town of karen
Thomp has been the se of an improbable love story
between Harold Terrans, who's a US Army veteran. He's one
hundred okay, Jesus, he was part of the Allied forces

(10:10):
that invaded Normandy on June the sixth, nineteen forty four,
and on Saturday. So the last saiday, he married Jane
or Jane? I suppose you could say Swirlin, she's ninety six.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Oh that's lovely, yeah, one.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Hundred year old Harold and Jeane.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I mean, this is what Swirlin had to say about
the whole situation here she is now, Oh.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, at ninety six, I feel like my god, I
got butterflies.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Just like the young people. I mean, it's not just
the young people love.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
You know, we get butterflies and we get.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
A little actional.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
So doroy, there we go, Geen, because there's a question
on everyone's lips. Did Harold and Jane get it on? Yes?
Turns out that they did. What sort of action? We
don't know. Nobody asked a follow up question. Would it
have killed them to ask a follow up question? What
sort of action did you get? Gene?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I mean, so there's no information. She's just said that,
and now we have to assume that they made I mean, can.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
You oh good on them?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Can you make love at that age?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Well? Apparently you can.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, how do we know that they made love? Maybe
they just had to smooch or something like that.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Action. I mean, action is quite a loose term, isn't it.
I got to say, though, Jean Swirl on ninety sex,
I'm looking at a picture of her. She's quite something like.
She's looking very very good for ninety sex. An Old
Harold at a HUNDI, he's looking good too. They look
like to me, they look like they're in their eighties.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I mean this is no just respeak to your parents,
but they look like people about your parents' age as well.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Yeah, they look a bit like there could be John
on Cheryler. Though they are touching, which is not what
my parents would have been doing. So anyway, they're winning.
Party went on because afterwards they're involved and invited to
a state dinner with President Joe Biden and his friends
Hose Emmanuel Macron.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh that's good, that's lovely.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
And they congratulated the newly weds.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh Biden similar age, so they would have gone along
like a house on fire.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Well that's the weird thing. Actually, it turns out that
Old Harold looks younger than Joe Biden.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
I mean, Harold is looking very nimble. Hey, Jerry, personal question,
I mean do you normally make love on wedding night?
Did you make love on your wedding night or you
haven't been married.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
I'm not married, But that's a really good question because
back in the day that was always the thing, wasn't
it you go to consummate the marriage on the wedding night.
But I think now a lot of people have a
big party. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
See, that's what I'm thinking about, is it's almost become
weddings are almost more about the fact that you're getting
friends together and enjoying each other's company. Now right that
seems to be the focus of weddings is the party
and how the night ends.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, because I think back in the day, the idea
was that you probably waited until you got married, like
going back in history. Yes, i'd whether or not people
did that, I'm not sure. I wasn't there, but I imagine
that was a big part of it. So on the night,
it was like, yes, we can, finally, we can finally
make love because.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Legally, because what I'm worried about is, you know, you
have a great night. I plan to get married probably
about thirty or so, i'd say, is what I'm thinking. Okay,
that's probably going to be right in the time where
I'm still going hard. So I'm yeah, so wedding night,
go hard, okay, and then all of a sudden you've
ended up with a bit of a you can't show

(13:27):
and grow and all that kind of stuff because you're
going too hard on that night. You know, this is
all These are the things that I'm worried about. So
three for eight three? Did you make love on your
wedding night?

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Yeah, that's you know what, Let's do a poll on it.
That's a good idea. So should we just do a
secret poll, no names or anything? Sure why for yees
you made love? Yep, that makes sense and in for no,
didn't make love? Okay? Just a secret pole on three
for eight three, So easy, just either text to why
or an inn. It'll just be interesting to see the results.
I'd like to know. I reckon it'll be about fifty fifty,

(13:57):
but that's my guess. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Oh well, bless Harold and what was it, Gene? I
think Jeane, we've quite a hot couple for one hundred
and ninety six.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Over a thing.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
So we just tooking before in the wonderful word about
that one hundred year old and the ninety six year
old getting married. And Jean, the ninety six year old
woman who was married to Harold, said that they had
a bit of action after their marriage, which was impressive.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I mean, we cannot confirm or deny what action this was.
She did not clarify that, and rightfully so, yeah, good
point a lady, So respect to her for that. But
we thought we'd ask a little bit, would start a
bit of a secret poll, didn't we, Jerry, Yeah, did
you concummate your marriage on wedding night?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah? And it's been interesting because I thought it would
be about fifty to fifty What does the research say? Ruder?
So what obviously there'd be polls on this.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah, Well, there was three major surveys done earlier this year,
and apparently fifty four percent of respondents said that they
did on the wedding night, so.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Forty six they didn't.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Okay, So there we go nearly nearly sort.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Of fifty fifty nearly half and a half.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Okay. Well, it's been interesting for our pole here, for
the listeners to the mattin Jerry Show, because according to
this poll, which just we just started to put a
wife for yes and an in for no. Sixty percent
of respondents have said yes and forty percent. We've had
a lot of respondents, by the way, and forty percent
have said no.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I mean that feels sample size, That feels about right.
I mean so many texts on three four o three,
so thank you for but just betting in the secret poll.
But so sixty years forty no, that feels about right.
Mainly it seems to be the reason for no just
been too steemed.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yeah, that that's exactly right. There's someone who's put three
wives here. I only counted that as one, but I
assume that that's three. That was three times in one night.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
Ye, or because I've been married twice myself and both
wedding nights. The conversation was, look, so many people don't
do it.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
So we really, we really should get the number.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Did you say in your second marriage that my further
first wife, I did so to make sure the second time,
just so you know the first one. So I don't
want to don't want to put any pressure on us,
but I think last time we did so this time
we should too.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
If my second and current wife is listening, this will
be the first time that she knows that the first
wife also was experiencing that sort of thing on that
hear there's nothing better than finding things out on the radio.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Oh, first person here said a why with the whole
bridal party and more in the house was up there
and the top ten griusman also got a Brian's bad
on the deck outside.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, right, that's a lot of information. I'm not sure, right, Lie?
What about Jordan here?

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Who text on? How Jordan here? So he said his name? No,
I didn't consummate the marriage on my wedding night, mainly
because I ended up in bed with the best man
after the party. Okay, bloody good night.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
So what happens if you end up hanging out the
back of your best man? Is that still consummating the marriage?

Speaker 4 (16:52):
They go, that's another pole that we should be reading.
Who ended up making him up to their best man
after the wedding? I don't think this. I feel like
that's going to be mainly an inn. Okay, there might
be a couple of wives.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't know if we need to run that pole
That feels slightly unnecessary. I think we might know that
probably only one or two percent of dudes are hanging out,
hanging out the back of their best man.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
But there we go the pole of Homecuy listeners sixty percent,
so that's about fifty four is the is the average
in the world. Oh, that was a great success. That
pole certainly was.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I mean so many stories. We were just asking for
wives and ends. But the people that are coming through
with explicit details about making love on their wedding night.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's much from It took forever. After fourteen hours of
drinking scissors some way too tired, just had a couple
of teas as.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Another person and Matt and Jerry show wakfast time we've
done in sixty nine.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Well, it's mass and Jeru Nice had a company this
morning on The Managery Show, Tuesday, eleventh of June twenty
twenty four. However, you're listening wherever you are. It's nice
to have you with us. Unfortunately Matt's not with us
today because he's singing.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
He is off sick today, the first sick day that
I can think of he has ever taken.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
But he is away today. Year we've gone over the
records and we've realized eleven years in the job, I
take out COVID.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yes, we had. I think there was one time during
COVID jury we had to force him home because he
came in the distrid with COVID. He loves to work
on the he loves to work well sick matter. He's
a hard working man. He is.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
He's a very hard work man. He's got a great
work ethic. But today even this one's brought him down
to he must be incredibly sick, that's for sure. This morning,
we're looking for the four Pillars of sick Days.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
So every Tuesday we look for the four Pillars, a
segment the Mad and Jerry Show where we find the
four quintessential things relating to a certain group or category
and such matters away sick for the first time, I
think ever, we'll certainly in eleven years. Anyway, Today we're
looking for the four pillars of sick days.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Mashy, that's right, and if you are, you're around here.
The way that the four Pillars works as we look
for four quint essential things relating to a certain group
of topic and try and lock those in by the
end of the show. It is hard to do, and
quite often we struggled to get there by quarter to nine,
but we're going to do it.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Jerry.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Last week or you were away, we got stuck into
the four pillars of songs that have a cow bell
or a rock block in them. That's very specific, it was,
and this is what they ended up being. It was
don't for the repay. Oh yeah, that's interesting, just a
real punishing food of the floor. Cow Bell there, little

(19:36):
Sister Queens at the stone Age was of the second pillar.
We also had War from Lowrider no other way around
Lowrider War. And finally to cap off those four pillars,
we had night Train in there.

Speaker 8 (19:54):
Wait for it, a very specific and those are the
four pillars of songs with cowbell or rock block in it.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
But yesterday we are looking for the four pillars of songs. Sorry,
looking for the four pillars of sick Days, aren't we
That's right, sick days.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
So you can vote on three four eight three, or
you can text us where you can text us on
three foot three. You can send us a talk back
message via your iHeartRadio app. We always like getting those.
Or of course you can call us on eight hundred Hackacky.
It's always nice to hear from you. In the past
We've also looked for things like the four pillars of
potato dishes, which is fries, scott potatoes or glaston Chip

(20:36):
buddies and mashed potato. That was a disappointingt one, wasn't it.
A couple of years ago we looked for the four
pillars of ram rays and I guess this is relevant
today because it turns out that there is almost a
quarter of the amount of ram raids this last month,
or an eight pril anyway, that there were from the
year before.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
That's right, So what were the four pillars of ram rays?
I cannot remember the.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
Mesda demo use blue yep that checks out everyone too
young to be charged, Rainy's CCTV footage and shaking your
head in disbelief and tutting about what's become of our country.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
That sounds about right. Some of the early texts coming
in for the four Pillars of sick days, Jerry are
faking menstrual pains always a goody to awkwardly share with
the male boss. So I can't imagine that being the case.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Yeah, what are you going to do in that situation?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
If I think about our boss here at Radio Hardeki,
Pixie Campbell. If I went to him and said, hey, Toddy,
got a bit of an issue down there, Yeah, some
mental pains. I think he'll be pretty quick to go no,
say no more, you can have the day.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Well, possibly he knows so little about women's menstruation that
he might think that men are involved in it too.
Here's two pillars. Is this text of putting on a
croaky voice when you call the boss, to make it
seem legit that you're calling him sick even when you
are sick. Yeah, and feeling better during the day, and
feeling guilty that you took a sick day.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, that's exactly how it goes. Usually by about midday
you're starting to feel like you're coming right again.

Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yeah, what's all there nowadays? So do you have to
if you're calling him for a sick day, you probably
have to call him. You can't text, or if you text,
you need to seend a photo with it. I mean
this morning for time I send a photo. Yes, he
did looked like he was literally dead. He did look dead,
yet it was one of the scariest photos I've ever
seen him, and I've seen some pretty freaky photos of
matter over the years, but that one was particularly scary.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
It was terrifying. Yeah, and so he was. He was
out croc and but what happens when you call him sick?
I feel like I just text Jerry.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
Yeah, Okay, that's your generation. So that's where you're going wrong.
And the other thing is you got to be careful
on the day that you call a sick day, because
in your situation, tends to be mondays. No it doesn't.
I think that it's not being noted. No, that's not true.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Well it's only happened twice, having a sick down on
Monday twice. Well, I've got ten to use up each
gym mate, Like I'm going to use him up on
a shitty old Wednesday or something twice.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Matt's hasn't had a sick day in eleven years.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Okay, when we come back less he gets stuck into
the four pillars of taking a sick day A three.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Four eight three. That's the number to text us on.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
And it's not watching blue material for you. Forty five
texts that are sitting that in.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
As we've discussed this and Matt and Jerry show, we're
looking for the four pillars of sick days. A lot
of people taking sick days at the moment, there's a
real look going around. Matt's off the show sick, first
time in eleven years.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, he's decided. He gave us a text this morning,
didn'ety Jerry and said, boys, I hate to say it
to you. I think we're going to have to take
one today. And we've allowed that to happen.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Yeah, we have. I like the way you've said that, Missie.
We've allowed that to happen.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
We so kindly said, Maddie, you stay in Bedfeller.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
And then he sent through a photo of him which
looked reminded me a little bit of Lenin, you know, Lenin,
the Soviet leader lying on his deathbed, just had that
sort of vibe.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
It was taken from above. It was a freaky looking photo.
Can we post that photo on socials?

Speaker 4 (23:50):
Do you think? I think so?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh you think we can post it?

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I think so. I think absolutely.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
If you want to see what Maddie does currently look like,
then if you hit along to the Matt and Jerry's socials,
then you can.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
Have a look at that. I think it's a great idea.
So this morning, we're looking for the four pillars of
six days. Three for trees and I'm going can text
us your suggestions. Three will announce it before nine. So
a lot of texts coming in getting the missus terrain
slash texting in Now, that's that as smart in fact,
And someone else says the subtle set up the afternoon before. Now,

(24:20):
if you're really smart, you'll get your missus or partner
as we call partners now to text and the night
before with the settle set with the subtle set up
the day before.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I mean, that's incredible work being done there.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
See that's someone who's been around for a while. Mash.
You're twenty four, so you wouldn't you'd probably you're the
kind of personal text first thing in the morning.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, that's what I do. Yeah yeah, So are you
saying what I should do if I'm going to take
a Monday off And I'm not saying it's always a Monday,
it just happens to be usually a Monday. Second, No,
that's just a coincidence. So on a Sunday night, I
should maybe get my partner love yeah, to just flick
you guys a text and say, hey, you know what
he's looking a little bit, you know, below average.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Mash has come down something, you know how he loves
he hates not turning up for work, but I'm saying, Tommy,
you really shouldn't. Yeah, because he's got a fever is
always a good way. He's got a fever. Okay, well
that's great. A lot of holds are a bit like
oh yeah, okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
A lot of people here saying that you should say
that you've got the you know, like a bit of
a tummy problem. Yeah, is the best way to go
if you're calling in sick, because no one's going to
question that. It's like, yeah, we don't need that at work.
That's disgusting.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
I've been up all night damaging the dot, that sort
of thing that often gets Peopy up.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
No, keep away, all right, Ron from PARMI, Good morning run.
First of all, mate, are you taking a lot of
sick days? And second of all, what are you doing
on your sick days?

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Fella?

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Mmmm? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (25:35):
I mean I'm known to take the odd sick day
in my life. I think for me, a key part
of sick day is sobbing uncontrollably.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
To and distellar okay and di stella.

Speaker 9 (25:48):
Well, you know it's you know, like maybe a movie
that you feel that you like a lot and put
it on for comfort. You're already a little bit of motion,
a little bit sensitive, and you put something on and
then I'll make you yelling at mirth across the your
room and you lost it.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Is there something about Matthew McConaughey specifically that makes you emotional,
Ron from Parmi, or is it just the whole premise
of that film that gets you going.

Speaker 9 (26:12):
I think it's yelling at her children through bookcases.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
It's just a bit much.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, Okay, well fair enough, So Ron, just to clarify,
you're asking for one of the four pillars of sick
days to be you, Ron from Parmi, having a sob
at home or watching Matthew McConaughey yell at the child
through a bookshelf.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Exactly love it. Okay, we'll put that vote down. We'll
be interesting to see how many other people talk about
Interstellar when it comes to sick days three four eight,
three L and hundred heydeche always nice to hear from you, Thanks, Ron, Jeez,
I tell you what I'm next. I share what used
to happen on when I was a kid Sick days
at my house?

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Is that aerobics old style.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
No, my mum really need to suck the life out
of it, soak all the fun out of being at home,
that's for sure. May do you want to go back
to school the next day? Real? My mother like a prison.
My mother did the same. Yeah, and that Benjeri show
this morning, we're looking to the four pillars of sick days.
Matt's away sick. A whole lot of people have got

(27:12):
the lurg. We don't quite have time. Next we're going
to go to the news headlines. But later on I
need to tell the story of what used to happen
in my family when I was a kid and I
was sick. It was let's just say it was a
prison situation. My mum was running a prison.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, I can imagine Sharon Ral's Sharon Wells running quite
a tight ship on a sick day. For you, there
really no glamour in a sick day at your household.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
She took all the joy out of it. But I'll
tell you what. The way she took the joy out
of it meant that you really wanted to get back
to school as quick as you possibly could. That's for sure.
You can keep texting your suggestions on three for eight
three will announced the four Pillars of Sick days before nine.
Also coming up after the seven th eighty news headlines
a woman who was eaten whole by a snake.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
So she join us on the show that she no,
she's dead. Ah right, sorry forgive me, she's dead. But
is there a worse way to die? I'm having a think, Yeah,
this is no, no, no, I've got no worse way
to die than being eaten whole by a snake, eaten
by beer.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
I don't know. Being my other animals is not a
good way to go. Anyway, we'll be really getting your
teeth into that after seven thirty plus. Who owns the moon?
There's a question that people are asking at the moment.
Of course, a lot of countries going to the moon.
More countries have been to the moon than what you'd
actually think. But the questions who owns it? Who's going
to be able to mine up? What are they going
to be able to do? Stay with us on the
Mantain Jerry Show radio heading.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Listen to that, Jeermy, here's some new, sir quick.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
High level church on Weddays one.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I just want to hit Jeremy and.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I would actually breakfast. Thanks to Bunning's trade.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
The Mad and Jerry Show with Massy and Jeremy Wells
available everywhere mean.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
On radio, so that he won on the Mountain Jerry Show.
Time for the latest news headlines whenter illness appears to
be affecting school attendance. Just eighty four point four percent
of students attended school last Friday?

Speaker 1 (29:12):
Okay, right, that's not ideal.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Do they have figures that come out like every few days?
Do they? I mean, how do they? What is there
some kind of live some kind of live data that's
getting I mean that's two or three days ago. Amazing?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
So is that primary school or is that high school?

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Is that both? Must be? Must be? All?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
So twenty percent of kids were off last Friday?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
What was happening last Friday? What was happening last Friday?
Was there a big dance Patty on? Was this something happening?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I can't think three for eight three was anything on
last Friday? But I mean kids should not be taking
fridays off school, should they?

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Jerry Well? Nowadays this you're encouraged to. I mean, Matt's
we're talking this morning about the four pillars of sick days,
and you're encouraged too. Now, people don't want you to
coming to work with your lurgie, but there really is.
There's so many lurgies going around at any given time,
but at the moment more than normal because everyone's obviously
been forced in sight. It's cold and flu season. True,

(30:02):
Nelson City Council could be about to enforce tougher rules
on cats. They're seeking feedback on a potential by law
which would see mandatory micro chipping, registration and desexing for
all pet cats.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay, let's put a pin in that story and come
back to that in just a second. Enough of this
football story, a Jerry, because that's interesting.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
And three fans who racially abused Real Madrid football of
Initius at a match in Valencia during May last year
have each been sentenced to eight months in prison.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
So what's going on in Nelson? Is there a massive
kind of pussy problem so to speak. Excuse me Mash
and Nelson, excuse what is making them have to crack
down on this all of a sudden.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
I don't know, and why just Nelson, I don't know.
Cats causing terrible problems in Nelson.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Is a bit of a Harry mclary situation. They're a
rising up and starting to wander the streets to hear
their cats.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
If you're in Nelson at the moment, give us a
text three for three. What's happening? I don't know. I
imagine that they're killing birds and it's the male cats
that are They're terrible. Male cats have no fear. It's
it's you go to male cat. It'll go to attack you,
and you go at it back, Well, it'll attack you.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Not even start on the way they make love with
their kind of barbed situation that they're operating down.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
All full things. Male cats, they're awful things. Tom cats
are not good. Hey, spray everywhere.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Up next, can we talk about this poor woman that's
been eaten a hole by python?

Speaker 4 (31:19):
Please? Sure, let's get into that.

Speaker 10 (31:22):
The Matt and Jeri sha so just earlier on after
those news headlines, Mashy you teased a story about an
Indonesian mother of four who went missing in the jungle,
and she ended up being found fully clothed inside the
belly of a six meter python.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh man, when I think about my worst nightmare, this
is up there with the top two, top three worse
situations I could ever find myself in.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
How thick was that python to be able to eat
a whole woman.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Because this is what snakes do, hey, is they essentially
consume food whole and then whatever they've got inside them
breaks it down over time, and then it can feed
them for long periods of time. From what I understand
about snakes is they like to eat big at once
and then wait three or four weeks. I'm sure far
more people know far more about it than I do.
But so this python obviously saw an animal that it thought,

(32:16):
you know what, that looks quite yummy, and had a
crack at this mother, which is obviously very tragic. But
and then I found it inside the snake.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah. Oh, I just don't understand how either how small
is this woman or how giant is the snake.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Because I mean six foot snakes on a six meter snake, yes.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Six meters the world, this particular python is the world's
longest snake. Well, I mean there's it's a constrictor, so
it's wrapped around her and then constricted her and then
and then consumed her. That is I'm sorry to even
talk about this at this time of day. What is it,
seven thirty nine in the morning. Sorry, when I when
I bought a couple of minutes ago. I didn't realize

(32:56):
it was this horrific. So now what happens They retrieve
the body out of the snake.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I suppose you do, Oh man, I suppose you do.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
That snake's not going to be surviving.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I am forever sorry that I left my wife. My
wife go out alone, says Money her partner.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, that's right. Her partner was talking about. They said,
if I'd been in with it, the snake never would
have did to touch her. I feel sorry for the suffering.
She well, well, clearly that was just the most horrific story
in the world. I mean, I think the other story
that springs to mind about this is any kind of
time that a human gets eaten by another animal. It's
not ideal. We I mean, obviously, back in the day,
we used to be in by animals all the time.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
We've kind of got to the point now where we
control our environment so much that that doesn't happen, Thank goodness.
I mean, because it's a terrible way to go.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
If I'm going to go top three, Jerry, animals, I
don't want to be eaten by one. I don't love
the idea of the death roll, the crocodile is going
to give you at the bottom of it.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
No, that gives me the he bees. Yep.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Number two, this snake situation terrifies me. And number three
something to do with maybe like a happo or something
like that, kind of just chomping down.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah, look, any animal or gorilla dark There was a
There was, of course, the grizzly Man. You must have
seen that doco with the guy who went and lived
with beers up in the Arctic Circle. I have seen
that and then ended up being consumed by one of them.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I mean, that's not what you want. He filmed it, well,
the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, he had the he had his tape recorder, he
had his VCR going because he was making a documentary
about himself. Strange guy, but made a documentary about himself.
And then he had the lens kept on. He was
doing a piece of camera and the beer came into
his tent.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Okay, see that is not a mile No, it.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Was full on. And then the documentary was all about
this guy, you know, grizzly Man, that's what he called himself.
And the actual footage was kept because the bear didn't
eat the video camera, and so it was recorded and
then ended up I think it was Vernon Hertzog which
who made the documentary. He ended up listening to the
audio no documentary, and he said to the guy's ex partner,

(35:05):
you must never listen to this. This is awful.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
So there's footage out there of this poor bloke getting
mangled by a beer.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, he said, destroy it. You got to destroy it,
you got to get rid of it.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Okay, Well, wasn't that a nice little pick me up
story for a Tuesday morning? Sorry about that, everybody.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Now that we've delved into that.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
This week, you may have seen images that have been
been back to Earth of China's flag flapping around on
the Moon. It's a weird looking photo. It almost looks
CG to me, it looks computer generated.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Do you know briefly, really quickly on this. I think
it's something to do with the fact that, remember when
we first went to the Moon, the flag was a
massive kind of plot point in the conspiracy that it
was waving weirdly, and it feels like the Chinese have
identified that and gone, look, I don't want any questions
being asked about the flag, So let's try and get
it kind of flapping about, and now in result it
looks almost worse than the one back in the air.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yeah, well, the flag doesn't look fake to me. It's
the pole that the flag's sitting on.

Speaker 1 (36:02):
Quite bizarre, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
It looks weird, But I think the resolution of photos
is always weird on the Moon anyway, because the light's unusual,
isn't it.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, of course it is.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Yeah, of course, no atmosphere on the Moon, but things
don't flat. I mean there's no wind, no, So is
that right? Yeah, no, there's no wind because there's no atmosphere,
so there's no air.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
With that logic, is any flag that would be planted
on the Moon supposed to just be flaccid?

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I think it just sits there and with no gravity
or a little bit of gravity on the Moon, not heaps.
But I know that the American one had to stick
through the top of it because people used to go,
that's a fake flag, because look at the flag, blah
blah blah blah. Yeah, but flags behave differently on the
Moon than what they behave on Earth.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
And of course, if you want to take a photo
of your flag on the moon. Yeah, you're going to
think about a way to make sure that you can
make sure it's properly aurech so you can take that
photo and send it back home.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Actually, now that I think about it, the whole flag
on the moon thing is the stupidest thing in the world,
because a flag is designed to be on Earth. It's
a very earth bound object for a lot of reasons. Firstly,
it's meant to flap, yes in the wind yep girl
on the moon, there is no one.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
So what you're saying is that, actually they should have
left the flags at home and just come up with
some kind of moon.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Based sign sign. Yeah, just a sign that this is America,
like the flag is. Flags are not meant to be
on the moon anyway. Anyway. Yeah, so China is landed
on the moon. Actually a haper countries, it turns out,
because I always sort of America and I didn't even
know if there'd been any Russians that have landed on
the moon. But Russia has been to the moon, but

(37:30):
they haven't put any people on the moon past America. Yeah,
twelve people, twelve Americans have been on the Moon.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Which is actually more than I thought.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Yeah, the Apollo missions. I think they stopped in the
nineteen seventies. It was expensive and they thought, why we
keep whacking people on the moon? People lost interest?

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Well, that's right, I mean it was mainly just an
ego project, wasn't really there was obviously the space race
was a massive thing. Yeah, And once they got there
they realized, actually, maybe people are as interested in this anymore,
is what they originally were. But what are people doing
with the moon now?

Speaker 9 (37:57):
Hearing?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Well, just going back for an MESHI Well, I think
where they lost interest as people started driving buggies around,
which is quite cool moon which is still up there.
But also they started hitting golf balls and stuff.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
There was golf going on up there wasn't there yep,
to see.

Speaker 4 (38:12):
How far that was? I mean I was quite interested
in that. But still I think that's when things got
a little bit crazy.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Just really quickly. On the golf ball. If you hit
a golf ball in the moon, what happens with the
golf ball? It goes so far? Does it just keep going?

Speaker 4 (38:24):
No, because there is some gravity and there is some friction,
but not much. Oh that's a shame, but it goes,
It goes miles and I'm sure we can look up
how far that golf ball actually went. I mean, the
question is how did he flush it? Because if he
got it out of a bad part of the club,
like what happens to a slice?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
No, no, that's not the question. The question is juy
who actually owns the well, nobody owns the moon?

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Okay, is that the answer to that?

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Yeah, But at the moment, the problem is now you've
got private companies that are going to the Moon, so
that's quite interesting.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Firm called Intuitive Machines, which has become the first private
company to put a lander on the Moon. But NASA
is sending humans back to the Moon because the Artemis
extronoids Artemis. Okay, they meant to be there in twenty
twenty six. They've done some tests recently to see how
that's all going to work out.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Okay, great, so that's some Americans, is it?

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Yeah? Americans going there, and China's sending some humans to
the Moon by twenty thirty.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Okay, well, what don't they just carple good point. I
don't understand why you have to send two rockets? Can
you just get one? And I don't know, come up
with a bit of a deal and then you're gonna
all go up together.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Yeah. Well, I think what they're actually the big thing
now are going Why they're going to the Moon is
because there's a whole lot of stuff on the Moon
that people want a lot of resources. So on the moon, iron,
there's titanium, there's helium.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Oh god, this is going to get interesting, isn't it
when people start deciding whose stuff is who's up there?

Speaker 4 (39:47):
Yeah, because they reckon that the stuff that's on the
moon's quite big the moon look of them. What you
think it's the value of the metals et cetera that
could be mine. There could be from billions to quadron.
I mean it's got to be a lot of billion
to make it, you know, profitable. Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
So these guys going up there to start getting this
is that what's happening here with this NASA and this
Chinese project going to the Moon in the late twenty twenties.
They're just going up there to get some resource and
bring it back.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Well, the Chinese is going up there, and the Chinese
are going to build a base. That's what they want
to do.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Now. What surprised me really quickly, just to wrap this up, Jerry,
Is Pakistan have been to the moon?

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Pakistan have dropped something on the moon? Yeah? No, Pakistanis
have been on the moon.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
But right, who else has been to the Moon?

Speaker 4 (40:28):
A whole lot of people, I think, like the who
else has been there? There's like Kazakhstan have been there?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
I see that's straight, okay, right, I mean we've never
been there, have we?

Speaker 4 (40:40):
No?

Speaker 1 (40:41):
I mean would it kill us to go there?

Speaker 4 (40:42):
I don't. I think we've sort of more focused on
I don't know, going to getting to the Chathams or something.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
The first radio showed a broadcast Life from the Moon.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Jerry, Oh you mean us?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
I need you to think big here, fella, jeez. Okay,
after add to Clark will be joining your Life from
the Moon.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Really yeah, it'll be a lot to organized in the
next sort of five minutes and Matt.

Speaker 6 (41:03):
And Jerry show.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
What time weeks?

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Oh, Ruder, I'll tell you what. That impersonation of Anafred
and Agnetha from Arba is a very impressive. I'll tell
you it's the latest from Ruda.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
What about Benny and Bjorn or the other two?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
You know? I think the main people singing dancing cream
were the two women and Afred and Agneita? Oh was it?

Speaker 1 (41:39):
What one's the main vocal?

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Was it? And Afred or Agnetha, both of them going
at the same time. I think that was the Wikita
Arber's success, wasn't it, MESHI.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Well, the two of the ladies were both going at it,
going same time. Lovely stuff, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (41:51):
Somehow the combination of those two voices together was amazing.
And I think Benny and Bioren who wrote all the music, yes,
they knew that. And they were married, of course, Bennie
and Bjorn. No, Benny was married to Anafred and Agnetha
was married to Bjoran.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Geez a couple hot nice they've swapover.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
I know too much about it, but no, they broke
up in the end, actually while they were going out,
and that was partly why they broke up in the end.
The winner takes it all. If you listen to the
one it takes it all, you realize what was happening
between the couples.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Should we do that up next?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Let's not do that? And Matt and Jerry show so
as we do every Tuesday. Will it for the Four Pillars?
A segment on the mat and Jerry Show, we find
the four quintessential items relating to a certain group or category. Instance,
Matt's away second the first time, it seems ever, certainly
in eleven years. Today we're looking for the four pillars
of six days. You can vote on oh eight hundred Herdechy.

(42:50):
You can give us a text on three for it three,
or you can send us a talkback message via the
talkback function on your iHeartRadio app. A lot of texts
coming in, so.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Many texts coming through, Jerry. I'm just going to run
a few pass you quickly and you can yeah on
these if you'd like to. Getting the misses to ring
slash text in yep. I mean it happens a lot.
You've said that you've done this before with Telsea. You've
gotten her to call up even in the night before.
And just plant the seed with your boss.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
If your partner can text, if you can't even text
your partner because you're so you know your boss, because
you're so sick, that's not that's saying. If you know
what I mean. If you're a boss and you get
a text from a partner and says she's if Lauren
say texts Toddy our boss and says, Hey, come on, Toddy, man,

(43:34):
she's so sick. He's vomiting, he's not in a good way.
I don't think he's going to be able to make it.
And tomorrow you're going, oh, man, he must be sick
if he can't even text.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Right, I didn't realize that that's why it was. I
thought it was just because you were scared of the confrontation.
But what it's actually saying is that this guy is
on his deathbed.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
He's so rough, he's got his head in the bowl,
he's in and out at he's in a fever. He's
doesn't know whether it's day or night.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
I mean, we were talking about this earlier the show,
but we never really touched on it exactly. What is
the etiquette around texting or calling or whatever on a
sick day? Because I mean, call me modern, but I've
only ever lived in a time where it's okay to
just texting.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Well, I think a lot of it has to do
with the time that you text, and say, if it's
in the middle of the night. Save with our show, right, yeah,
we've got to do it probably in the middle of
the night or early in the morning. Now, I guess
in the middle of the night. You're not going to
put a call through the boss. Yeah, but if they
wake up in the morning and see a text, then
it sort of makes sense. Okay, But I think for
other jobs it depends on on the timing. But I've

(44:35):
always thought myself that a call is the way to go,
because I mean, it's obviously.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
The far more respectable thing to do in it.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
I think you should call.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Yeah, I thought you should. Yeah, I don't know anyway,
Recki from Popomaha's on the line. Now, Recky, you're known
for kind of creating a bit of a fake cough
the day before you call them sick. Is that right,
I've heard it's being done, Okay, right, of course, Sorry, Ricky.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
Yeah. Part of the trick, I think, Ricky is is
just making sure that you just speak a little bit
deeper than you normally what is probably not a bad
not a bad way to go or even I've heard
of people just holding their nose slightly in that situation.
You sound a lot sicker if you just hold your nose.

Speaker 9 (45:16):
Yeah, Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. A little little chicken,
little tickle early in the morning and then a little cough,
but later in the day and then yeah, set up
text I guess is what you what you're doing?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Oh you guess?

Speaker 4 (45:29):
Sorry? Was that ricky?

Speaker 1 (45:30):
So if you're just having a wild guess you're saying
that it tends to be you feel it coming on,
you like to plant the seed the day before. Is
that what you're guessing? Yeah, yeah, that's well you're guessing. Okay,
then that night you're going to send a text or
a call just to clarify.

Speaker 9 (45:44):
That eyeing it, Yeah, a little, just a little TEXTO
one and then follow up in the morning. If you're not,
hopefully you're back to a hunday in the morning, good
to go.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
But if you're not, then you know, yeah, well this
is the thing have you ever tried? I mean, it's
not about idea as well. If you chuck back four
darts just before you call your boss, that's also not
a bad way because you probably have a raspy throat
by the time you do that.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, yeah, let's spot on.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
It depends how committed you want to be to the cause.
To be honest, here's someone that's just texting, and when
your partner texts your boss about your having a sick day,
it means that you've pulled a sickie and you've gone
fishing or surfing, et cetera. Well, this is the thing.
How far do you want to go?

Speaker 1 (46:26):
I see that's another angle on it that I hadn't
thought about. Okay, So why are there's so many votes
coming through for blue Material on a sick day? I
have never taken a sick day and watched Blue Material.
Really shou know that's not true?

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Yeah, exactly, it's you every sick day I.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Mentioned, well, dagging on you watch Aerobics, ho.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
Style, The Mat and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
This morning, we're looking for the four pillars of sick
days on a Jerry Shaw because matter is a way sick.
For the first time in eleven years, I was thinking
about sick days when I was a kid because my
parents made sure, well my parents, my mum made sure
that it was a really, really horrible day, something that

(47:07):
you wouldn't want to deal with all the time, or
something that you would want to do all the time.
And she did that by firstly forcing me to stay
in my bedroom, so I was not allowed to leave
my bedroom if I if I was sick. I mean,
I actually didn't have a lot of days off school
as a kid when I was you know, I just
didn't have a lot of days off school. I wasn't
sick that much, but I remember the days that I was.

(47:27):
So what would happen with you, Jerry?

Speaker 1 (47:28):
If you woke up in the morning and thought, you
know what, I want to either have a sick day
because I'm sick, or have a sick day because I'm
not sick, whatever reason it was, did you then it
was usually when it was decided when you woke up
in the morning.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
I quite liked going to school, so I never faked
any sick days. Okay, great, but when I was sacked,
my mum would force me to stay in my room.
She would generally I had a fever when this was happening,
or I was feeling I'd been vomiting in the night
or something. Then she'd put a towel down beside my
bed with a bucket and some disinfectant in the bottom
of the bucket, and she would say, right, don't leave

(47:59):
your room, and then at that point I would have
to stay in my room for the entire day. And
as a kid, so I'm thinking about eight nineteen here,
I wasn't a big reader of books, so I had
absolutely nothing to do, and I just lie there in bed,
and what I was allowed was a This is really
showing my age. I was allowed. There was We had
a tape player, cassette player, and I was allowed to

(48:20):
listen to tapes. And we had two tapes. There were
two tapes in our family and those days, tapes were
quite hard to come by, and they were one was
the Muppet Movie and one was the Muppet Album. And
I would and I would just listen to that on
rotate for an entire day, and my mum would bring
in my lunch, she'd bring anything. It was like being

(48:41):
in prison. Was It was an absolute hell. You couldn't
wait to get out of that room and get back
to school. I was please it was it was prison.
It was a form of prison.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
It sounds horrific. What was your favorite out of the
two Muppet tapes that you had?

Speaker 4 (48:55):
The Muppet album the Muppet Movie was had moving right
Along was the first track, and that was bit boring.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
So what was the Muppet Album? What was the first
song on that? Can you remember?

Speaker 4 (49:05):
It was Mississippi Mud? I think have you goten up
with them? Mississippi Dil DIDNL and DN Diddle and Dan
song goes down, the tag goes down, and the people
get around on the woman in the shot he here. Yeah,
it was Mississippi Mud.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
And then there was just how many tracks were on
that album it was It was a tape, so two sides,
two sides, yeah, yeah, and it had little bits going
on between him at the Frog and must Piggy all
the way through it.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
I pretty much know it off my heart. If you
played it to me, I could probably talk along with it.
But there was no watching anything. But there was no TV.
There was no daytime TV. That's like you and your
Child and Beauty and the Beast were selling too good
and all that sort of stuff. What about Aerobics Old Star, No,
well that was later on because there were so many
late eighties, so many votes coming through and through through
for Aerobics Old Styles. When it comes to four pillars
of sick days, yeah, well nowadays, for kids, sick days

(49:48):
are so much better because you can get on your
device all day. It's like, yeah, it's a great day
for kids.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
This is part of the issue, and that's why so
many kids I'd taken the days off. I mean, there
was that story this morning, right that only eighty percent
of kids showed up to work to school on Friday,
which I guess is a little bit of a controversial
headline because it was the friday before a long weekend
and school they teacher only days. But I mean kids
are taking more sick days than they ever have before.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Yeah, well they're being encouraged to because we don't want
kids sharing their illnesses around anymore.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (50:19):
Thirty one on The Matta Jerry Show. Time for the
latest news headlines. New legislation that's proposed in Australia to
counter AI generated pornography could potentially be mirrored here. The
Australian government's new law will criminalize the distribution and creation
of non consensual sexualized deep fake images.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
You'd have to think they're doing the right thing there,
aren't you.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
Well, that's an interesting area. I mean it's got on
first thought, yes, Meshi, But on second thought, why what
do you mean why, Well, it's not so you're not
allowed to see things that are illegal? Is that the idea? Now?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
I think what they're trying to do, Jerry is get
a hit on the fact that at some point there's
going to be deep fake pornography of people that currently exist,
and they want to get ahead of that.

Speaker 4 (50:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I think that's what they're doing, is they're going, you
know what, it's not out of hand yet. I mean,
it's pretty bad, but I think they're realizing eventually, For example, Jerry,
if I want to watch some pornography with the hostess
even sharpen it. Yeah, in a couple of years from now,
I think there might be some deep fake ability to
be able to have that happen for me. Yeah, And
they want to get a hit of that and go, look,
let's just start kind of getting rid of this now
before everyone has got ai pornography of themselves on the internet.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Yeah. I mean it's very hard to control that though,
well pops up and then how do you actually find
who's created it and where they are? You never can.
But I thought that headliness misleading because I thought it
meant non consensual sexualized deep faate, like non consensual as
in you know things that are illegal. You know that's
non consensual.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yeah right, No, I think what they're saying is non
consensual is in the people that they are using in
this deep fake pornography haven't allowed themselves to be in
that deep fake pornography.

Speaker 4 (51:52):
Yeah, maybe I'm confused by that. Anyway, this morning we've
already dealt with people being eaten by snakes. We've been
dealing with people go there.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
That's a huge issue.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Yeah. Frontman of Radiohead Tom York has announced a second
Auckland show due to outstanding demand its international solo or
till later this year. A new date's been confirmed at
Spuckeringa for Saturday October twenty six. That's after gigs at
the Wolfie in christ Church and on Wednesday October twenty
third and ll Con Spuckling on Friday October twenty five. Actually,

(52:24):
if you want the details that you can head to
their gigs page at honekee dot cod on his head
and There'll be a four thirty five pm kickoff for
the Super Rugby Pacific semi final between the Hurricanes and
Chiefs on Saturday. The New Zealand Rugby and SANSA have
made a rare call to start the match earlier to
avoid a clash with the Warriors start time.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Oh wow, do you think up next week at have
a chat about that, Jerry.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
I'd like to ask you your thoughts on the four
point thirty kickoff time because it's causing a bit of debate,
isn't it really?

Speaker 4 (52:54):
Certainly is it's nothing better than watching a better rugby
though in the sunshine. Although well and good.

Speaker 6 (53:00):
Luck the Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Just read a headline out before in the eight thirty
news headlines there's going to be a four thirty five
kickoff for the Super Rugby Pacific semi between the Hurricanes
and the Chiefs on Saturday. That's coming to you, lie
from the cake tin. Now.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
The reason why we want to talk about this is
because it's interesting that that story itself is a headline,
because it seems that the four thirty five pm kickoff
is raising some eyebrows, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Yeah, well, the four thirty five is a standard kickoff
around the world. I know in the UK a lot
of games start at four point thirty or five o'clock.
I'm actually there's also something that start at three. Back
in the day, the kickoff used to be for international
games used to be at two thirty. That was before
they started playing rugby under lights, and the broadcasters had

(53:47):
a different feeling about it in those days.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Because I grew up with seven thirty being the kickoff time.
I grew up with Super twelve Rugby, Super fifteen Rugby
and seven thirty was kickoff yep, I mean it since
changed to seven oh five seems to be the evening
kickoff time now.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Yeah, and the seven oh five kickoff is interesting. That's
actually part of the reason why the Super Rugby Pacific
ratings have been better this year. They started that last year.
I know that because I'm up against Super Ray Pacific
on a Friday night. Yes, and obviously on seven sharp
we look at the numbers and our numbers drop away
on a Friday because our seven sharp audience are also

(54:22):
a rugby watching audience, and so we probably get probably
a dip by about fifteen percent on a Friday. That
accounts for people watching those games. Interesting, okay, yeah, but
obviously it was different at seven thirty. But I've noticed
that the numbers have been better since they pulled it
back to seven oh five for the kickoff this year particularly,
it's gone up sixteen percent sixteen percent year on year

(54:44):
increase for Super Rugby Pacific weekend games.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Well, they'll be quite tough with it, I think ZEP Rugby,
won't they.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Yeah, they are pleased. With that.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Okay, that's good, But I.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
Think a lot of that has to do with the
fact that people have now worked out that it's the
seven o'clock kickoff, So before that they year were so
used to the seven thirty. Now they used to a seven.
But also TV audience's habits have changed. But anyway, I
think the four to thirty five kickoff is amazing for
the game. It's great if you go along and watch. Yes, interesting,
nothing better than watching rugby during the day because in

(55:15):
the winter it's pretty full on to go saying christ
it's pretty cold at seven o'clock in the winter.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Okay, Well, if you want to talk numbers though, Jerry,
So with the four to thirty kickoff in the afternoon,
how does that stack up against a rugby games viewing
figures at the seven h five times?

Speaker 4 (55:30):
Oh, this is the problem. So much smaller, the audience
who watch on TV is so much smaller, so you've.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Almost got them this power struggle between the four thirty kickoff,
which feels like it's great for one side of the viewers,
Like I don't know, kids that want are families that
have got kids, people that want to go and actually
just watch the games. Are live, and then you've got
people that are staying at home who prefer the seven
thirty kickoff.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
Well, I think some people do, Yeah, I think they
do that like the seven o'clock kickoff. I think I
think think they watch the news and then you sit
down for an evening's feeling. But I know Sky, who
are the broadcaster who pay a lot of money for
the rights to broadcast rugby. They want to get the
most out of their investment obviously, so as long as
they're paying a whole lot for the rights, you're never

(56:15):
going to get day more games in the afternoon than
you do at night. That's just the way that it goes.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Just before we wrap this up, do you think that
rugby needs more games during the day.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
I think so because I think that when you watch
a game and you see it in the afternoon and
it's sunny, you know, and there's a sunny Sunday afternoon
or a sunny Saturday afternoon, and you see a full crowd,
it makes you think this is something that I want
to watch.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
But there is absolutely nothing in there for Sky putting
more day games on, is there? Because that's just not
where the viewing numbers are. So they don't get to
make that money doing that, and they need to make
the money because they're paying.

Speaker 4 (56:48):
So much for those rights, so New Zeald and Rugby
have to obviously weigh that up. It's tricky for them
because they want people coming along and watching, but they
also want their broadcaster to be happy. So it's a
complicated situation that I don't think. Will it ever be solved?

Speaker 1 (57:01):
No, it's not going to be solved. Is it?

Speaker 6 (57:03):
The Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
So as we do every Tuesday, will it for the
four Pillars? A segment on the show where we find
the four quintessential items relating to a certain group or category.
And since Matt's been away sick all day to day,
we were looking for the four pillars of sick days,
al right, so we announced them. Fellow number one getting

(57:38):
your partner to call or text your boss, immediately shutting
down any conversation about coming to work.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
I mean, this is a very popular one. On three
four through Jerry, have you ever gotten your lovely partner
Toulci to call up on your behalf?

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Never? Mesh really?

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Never has she ever gotten you to call up on
her path?

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Never?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Mesh really?

Speaker 4 (57:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Okay, I couldn't think of a time where I've got
my girl friend to called up either. But I mean,
clearly a lot of New Zealanders are doing it because
the three four three text machine was going off on that.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Pillar number two. Going to work for a small amount
of time to prove our sick you are then going home,
complete waste of everyone's time, and actually, it must be said,
probably spreading your germs around.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Anyway, We are repeat offenders of this here at the
Matt and Jerry Show. I think all of us are
guilty at this. At some point, none of us want
to take a sick day, but some of us would
probably could do with a sick day. Yeah, And quite
often we'll will come into work and then someone will
have to go, all right, Jerry on your bike, mate,
you get home.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Well, that's it. I think we're lucky because we do
a job which is fun and you're coming. It's fun
to come in here every morning, of course it is. Yeah,
but yeah, I mean I remember when Matt had COVID
that time and he was coming he was clearly about
to die. Yeah, we couldn't get him to go home.
Time off you go, No, no, no, no, I'll be fine. No, off,
you go have spreading your disease around here. Half everyone's

(58:55):
going to get COVID anyway. Blame your kid's piller number three,
Blame you your kids slash food boys next, fake bereavement,
slash women's problems, et cetera, when you actually just have
a hangover.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
All right, that seems like it was about eighteen pillars
in its own pillar. But yeah, that is That's a classic,
isn't it. You've got to blame your kids with the
food pausing or the fake bereavement. I mean, there's only
so many grandparents you can have passed away. Jerry, I've
went this the hard way. People start to ask questions
if Nana has passed a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Yeah, Pillar number four taking a second day off just
to prove that you're actually sick. There's no credibility in
taking one day off. So there we go. There are
the four pillars of sick days, as voted by you
on oh eight hundred Hodaki, All.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Right, is it the show for the day?

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Jerry? I mean, it's the show?

Speaker 1 (59:38):
Are you fifty three? I suppose we check out about now,
don't we?

Speaker 4 (59:40):
Yep? That's the show.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Is Angie up next? Or what's she thinking about doing today?

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Angie's up next with no ads till Smoko and a
podcast is going to be out at eleven am this
morning on iHeartRadio lots and.
