Speaker 3 (00:30):
Wendy, Wendy, How Wendy is it?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Wendy? Sure? Well, some people are being told not to
go to work today, So Wendy, I reckon call it.
I've never heard that before. Call it now? What the
cricket tonight? Call it?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
No, just the day, just like you're going to go
to worker and a just call it? Just call it mine.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
You have you ever heard of not going to work
because it's too windy?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
What it's happened before? And when the bridge closed?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Oh okay, well if you can't get across a bridge
or something.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
But I've known that. That's the first for me. The
whole city shut down. Wellington had been told stay home
to windy.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I would have thought Wellington would be shut down the
whole year if they were doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's a good Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Jerry and Mini the hold Ikey breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Just looking around the country today, So if we were
weather expected to impact several parts of the country, many
areas are under a rare red wind warning. That's the
highest level possible gusts up to one hundred and forty
k's are expecting. Now that is a lot. I mean
one hundred and forty k's is a lot. But that's
for Wellingtonians. And look, I'd love to hear from Wellingtonian's

(01:34):
that's nothing crazy in Wellington.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah. Look, if it's if you're gonna hit one region,
who's prepared for wind and strong wind, it's Wellington.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, yeh. I would have thought anything over one hundred
and fifty starting to get into some pretty severe stuff.
I mean one hundred and seventy k's. Now that's intense
in Wellington.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I believe in Wellingtonian's to see to get through this.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
So looking strong red wind warning and Wellington whited Upper
south of Carterton twelve hours from seven am to seven pm. Okay,
so we're not quite there yet. It's not that we're
not at the beginning parts.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Strapped down the trampoline, that's all I say, strapped down
the trampoline.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, do people have trampolines and Wellington then generally and
sort of quite heavy sections of there.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Paul Ford's got one, and his one's disappeared on a
number of occasions. So maybe we can give him a
call see how he's preparing.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Actually we should call Paul Ford.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, let's see how he's preparing. What he's doing.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
He'll just be looking at cricket stats. That's how he'll
be prepared. That's pretty much Marlborough from Cape Campbell southwards,
Severe gal in north Westley's damaging GUS one hundred and
forty ks in exposed places.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm pretty sure that don't expose yourself. I'm pretty sure
you and Chatford used to run into this wind at
the base of reserve.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I feel like people have definitely walked into it. Here's
Josh that's calling out, Josh morning, how are you? How
are we good day? Calling it from Wellington. You're a
truck driver, aren't you, Josh? I am right, okay, so
you're still driving the truck in these ones over wonder,
Oh is it one of these ones? Is that one

(03:05):
of these ones?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
You're in the Rim Attackers though you're a bit sheltered,
aren't you?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Lash, shouldn't I thought you're in exposed places?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Okay, well it's incoming. It's incoming. Apparently seven am on
with you.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So yeah, well it is money for all, it's definite
one hundred and forty ks now, but probably not for Wellingtonian.
So you're saying load of old coddlers this one morning.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Excellent, Well you take here on the roads there, Josh,
don't cut that corner at the top of the Rim Attackers.
You've run over some sort of Suzuki swift.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Wonder.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Thanks, Josh. Can be a high country severe going north Wistley. See,
there we go. This has been a one fifty ks
in exposed places. But that you're talking, that's like when
they say exposed places the Canterbury high Country. You're talking
about you know, Mount Hut, Yeah, you're talking about them.
You're talking about the top of mountains. I've actually been
up Mount Cheeseman once. We went on a family ski

(04:10):
holiday there, stated the lodge up the Cheese up the
Cheeseman Lodge and that Mount Cochrane and it was one
hundred and fifty k gusts that night. And I can
tell you that the building, the Cheeseman Lodge, which has
been made by some people in the nineteen seventies, so
I mean, I don't know if they've got resource consent

(04:32):
for it. It was it was wobbling around and it
was actually the sound of the wind like the whistling sound.
Very hard to sleep.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I tell you what. I spent the night in a
motor home in the car park of Mount Haut when
it was closed for three days with high winds. We
couldn't get up. We couldn't get down because of the winds,
and it was up in the one hundred and forty.
At one stage the motorhome was hopping across the car
park and the grader had to come and push snow
against the motor home to lock it in place. Didn't

(05:00):
bounce across the car park and over the edge.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, that was terrifying. Well, you were in the in
the Bay Seria car park.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, we're right, and yeah, because we were broadcasting there.
We were doing a promotion called snow Job, which was
a week long activation which had we had a band
at the bottom of the mountain broadcasting live. I mean
the downside of it was we had two motor homes
up there. We're going to stay there for the week.
I was in one motor home and I Stables was
in the other.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
Oh god, oh god, what an appropriate name in stables.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, so it was an interesting time. But yeah, that
was closed for two days because of high wind. We
were the only ones on the mountain. But there was
a time where we were being a whole motor home.
Five berth motor home was being blown across the cap.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, there's a bit on that mount hat road when
it's probably about two k's from the top and it's oh, yeah,
it's closed. But the yeah, there's one battle it's the saddle. Yeah,
and on either side of the road it just drops
away to nothing. It's like a scree slope and the
wind just it funnels through there. And I've heard of

(06:04):
cars being tipped over, and you know, you've got to
be very careful there, Mann, it can whistle through. Looking
at christ Church cannby planes one hundred and forty k's
an hour threat to life from flying items and falling trees.
Hear well, there was that situation wasn't there with that guy,
that unfortunate situation. So anyway, I thoughts and prayers, look
out for Win standside Jerry.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And Mini, the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
The History of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Timarule. This is a
great day, October twenty third because on this day in
nineteen ninety eight, the Swiss watch company Swatch, you know Swatches, Yeah,
the unveiled a new concept called Internet time at a
press event in Switzerland. This a lot of people wonder
about time zones with the GMT and the changing of

(06:52):
time zones and how confusing it is, and it's completely
inaccurate because, of course, in some places like China, for example,
it's one time zone across the whole country, which is
insane because China is a massive country, so they get
weird daylight hours. And Australia's not quite right. New Zealand's
not quite right. There's the weird time International time zone
which comes down to the east of New Zealand. Here's

(07:13):
a dog leg, he goes, yeah, it doesn't make sense.
So Swatch's idea was to replace the traditional time zones
with a single global system that divided each day into
a thousand beats. Okay, okay, So each beat equalled one
minute and twenty six point four seconds, and everyone on
Earth would share the same time, so there were no
time zones. There's no dilate to saying, no confusion or anything.

(07:37):
And Swatch even released a digital wristwatch called the Swatch Beat,
which displayed beats instead of hours and minutes. Unfortunately, people
found the beats unintuitive and tech companies like Microsoft didn't
adopt it. Nobody did. The world soon got smartphones and
your watch just changed the whole time. Yeah, so there

(07:57):
was no concern for it. But at the moment, it's
seven hundred and sixty one, zero point ninety seven. So
someone says seven sixty two, what's the time? Yeah, I'd
say seven hundred and sixty one.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
It's just gone past too. How does that work on
your oven? Like when the power goes off and stuff,
can you put the beats into the oven?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Oh that's a good question. It's difficult. Yeah. So anyway,
seven sixty two now, isn't it? Yeah, it is point two.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I could see why it didn't take off.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah. In two thousand and one, Apple releases the iPod.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced what he called a breakthrough
digital advice that puts a thousand songs in your pocket. Man.
I remember when these first came for two thousand and one,
when most MP three plays could hold around twenty songs.
It was absolutely revolution the toggle. Yeah, and it made
a little noise.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, that was fairvolutionary. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah. It had five gigabytes of hard drive. The battery
went for ten hours of playback. It had the fire wire,
so there was no USB at that stage. Three hundred
and ninety nine UIs dollars twelve hundred and fifty dollars
in today's money. Ye about that discontinued in twenty twenty two.
Kids now are getting back into.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Them really, yeah, just to get no phones, just straight music.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, it's like retro. They're getting also back into digital
cameras as well.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Is it like vinyl?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yep, it's kind of like vinyl. Yeah, but it's the kids,
Like the kids like in their late teens and stuff
are starting to again into it.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I feel like they're taking the piss out of us.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah. In twenty eleven, the All Blacks finally won the
Rugby World cover after a twenty four year drought.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Was that today yep today in years ago, Holy moly,
I remember that. It was a terrifying game. I was
the top of the east stand at the scaffold. Remember
the scaffolding monstrosity they built at the at the end
of the east stand. I was right at the top
of that, in the nosebleeds. Biggest thing I remember from

(09:57):
that game is the fact that the only let me
buy two beers, and the fact that I had to
walk for fifteen minutes down stairs. So I did their
classic thing. I bought two, put them at my feet,
bought two more.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, you were one of sixty one thousand spectators there
at Eden Park. I was also one of those. Tony
Wilcott scored a try in fifteenth minute. Stephen Donald caught
away from White baiting. Of course the fourth choice first
five kick. That penalty goal on the forty fifth minute.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Come at the hour, any normal situation, Grand Fox, you're
back in here. But we think he's been and the
lack of rugby he's played, and the occasion.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
This is bigger kick as you'll ever get.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
He scored ninety five points and test row big he is,
and he's.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Kick was so close was rewatching it this morning?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
It was a wobbly old thing. I always think about
a sliding doors moment if he'd missed that and France
had won that, because afterwards, transport back the city was
an abomination. Everything was an abomination because everyone just dropped
down tools.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh yeah, so if we've lost a lot.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Of anger, buses would have been tipped over cars. There
would have I begaon. He would have been rioting. The
national government would have been voted out.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh, Sir Graham Henry talks about it in his book
and he he said he would have had to have
left the country because let's not forget he had lost
the two thousand and seven rag Biller Cup. They'd be
kicked out in the quarter final. I think it was.
It was a didaster and so they reinstated the same
team and they won by one point. I mean one
point one will be a kick. But the other thing

(11:34):
is if he had missed the kick. I've thought about this.
If he had missed the kick, it would have gone
back to a twenty two dropout. The whole game would
be completely different. Yeah. So because the game then came
back to halfway, you know, who knows what would have
happened after that.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
This is true.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's got to try.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
That was a terrifying atmosphere, probably the worst atmosphere I've
ever been in.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, that was terrifying.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Sixty thousand terrified people and a thousand partying French people.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah. I was hagging the person beside me at the
end of it. It was a relief for everyone was
just standing at the end. It's born on this day.

visitors eighty eight.

Yeah, we might get a game and I think.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, I'm confident. It seems like the rain is coming in.
But the rain's coming in and around about eleven o'clock
at night, eleven eleven thirty according to my Windy app. Anyway, Look,
she's not always you know, it's weather prediction. It's not
always accurate, but it gets it right most of the time,
the old Windy.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
You know, the UK Prime Minister, former UK Prome minister,
Boris Johnson.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, shambles of a man, but moppy blonde here quite
a doofer. See kind of guy.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, we go weird guy was incredibly popular for a
while there, Prime Minister during COVID times. Yeah, it's had
a couple of parties.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, through a few parties.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Seemed like a hypocrite. Ye got voted out. I always
wanted to know with Boris Johnson, what's happening with this?
What does he ask for when he goes to the
hear dresser because he obviously gets his hear cut. Yes,
it's not it's he obviously asked for something, he says,
He says something to the here dresser. What does he say?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Just take a bet off the ends?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Do you think so?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well, it's not a it's not a style. No, it's
got out of bed, you know, just being laid here.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
It's a weird it's a weird haircut. It's very unnus.
I mean you just asked for it to be sort
of shorter and a bit tidy.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
Well you can't really if you've got Boris Johnson's here,
you can't say just tidy it up because it's not tidy.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Do you think it's just that he's got But it's
only because he doesn't do it that it's a mess.
I mean, it's not he's not being born with here
like that. He's he's just not done it, you know.
Is he got a triple crown or some weird thing
going on at the back. Anyway, that's not the point.
The point is he says che gpt really weirdly.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
I love it absolutely, use.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I love.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I love it is frankly fantastic.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
So not.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I love has that been changed? That is how he's
a real video I edited? Remember while back there was
ben at Att coumber Bet. Yes, and the last problem
with pinglings and the last thing you might expect to
see here is penguins.

Speaker 7 (17:00):
These are Fjordland crested penguins penging over of South New Zealand.
So why are these woodlands so attractive to peng wings?
A fresh water stream through the forest makes a handy
highway for apparent pengwing heading home from a fishing.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
It wasn't a live comedy performance. I think that was
on Graham. But yeah, what's wrong with.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
He changed from saying peng wing to, ping ling, pinging.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I always wonder who was in the voiceover box then,
you know, because there's someone and there's always someone in
the box on a side, because I mean, he's sitting
in a booth reading a script and just pressed the
button on excuse me, Benedict, it's penguin.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
I know, I know exactly what's happened. Bettered At Cumberbatch
has turned up to do a voiceover, and the audio
engineer knows it's bened At Cumberbatch, who is an acclaimed actor.
I mean, I don't know that he's in the oscars,
but he's certainly highly paid. And you just assume that
he knows exactly how to pronounce these things. And so

(18:07):
the audio engineers going, I think he's saying the word
penguin in a weird way maybe, and you would think
that he knows how to say it. I mean, he's
he's an educated man. But can we have another Listen
to that.

Speaker 7 (18:18):
And the last thing you might expect to see here.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Is penguins. These are Fjordland.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
Crested penguins named after this corner of South New Zealand.
Wait for the lean, So why are these woodlands so attractive?
To penguins. Fresh water stream through the forest makes a
handy highway for apparent penguin heading home from He.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
Went from ping wing to ping ling back to ping wing.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
When apparently I remember watching that onton he said he
just never had ever said the word before, never said penguin. No,
but pinguin. It doesn't even look like ping lang looks
enough like peingling.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
They have penguins up the other day. They they're only
in kind of the southern henis.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, yeah, they don't know, they don't have them.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
They're not used to them.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
No, they've got puffins. We have another listen to Boris
Johnson's Ai and Chet Chipy. I love che Chechiputy is fantastic.
I love it.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Jerry and Mini the hod Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
There's a lot of our listeners will be waking up
this morning to read wind warnings across the country Kennibury,
Cannbury high Country up through Marlborough into Wellington and the
wired Upper And I was just reading here kne We
Raill have canceled Wellington trains. So that's trains going into
into Wellington have been canceled. Interesting train. I wouldn't have

(19:49):
thought that wins really affected trains that badly. So all
Wellington trains canceled between eight am and six pm. Oh wow,
due to the red one morning. Having a lot here yea.
Though also a lot of flights canceled in New Zealand,
canceling flights in and out of Wellington. Some canceled going
into christ Church Queenstown where I can understand with Queenstown.

(20:12):
But good news for sounds eer flight S eight three
four one, which was oh sorry, S eight two sixty
from Blenham it was Atlanta and Wellington. Oh so good
on sound's here they.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Had a crack who they got Randy Quaid behind the
stick's edge.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
If you ever flying from Blenham to Wellington.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Before I've done Picked in Wellington, Yeah, that's a hell
of a ride. If you forget going to an amusement park,
forget the big drop at Rainbow's in, forget forget anything else,
just jump on a sound zer from Picked into Wellington.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yeah, hell of a time, it really is, especially in
when I've been from Blenham before to Wellington. It's about
a It was about a ten minute flight. Yeah, we
never really got that high up because it's so close
and it was in really really bad weather and it
was like I felt like the plane was going so quickly.
And then finally when we turned because we obviously got

(21:10):
a land back and it was southerly, and when we
had turned to land back into suddenly, man was that
plane being thrown around. I felt it was quite something.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
I felt like there was a school leaver flying wye.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Well there's the one where you're flying across on the
Fovo Straight and some really young guys flying there, and
the other one is flying into Great Barrier and Great
Great Barrier airlines. On a plane from the nineteen sixties,
it was square and you got to go around clouds.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
I had one. I had one on the south the
Barrier area where I went to take off halfway down
the runway, pulled out, We're a bit too heavy, I
We're going to make it, so we had to pull
over and take some luggage out, and then evanother hon
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, there's terrifying. I've had another friend who was in
that situation where we went but overshot the runway and
then the pilot turner and said, oh, they haven't on
the grass for a few days. It's like the grass
is the problem. And anyone I think we're here, anyone
want to get out, apparently like everybody in the plane,
but their hands up, yep, I want to get out.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
So if you look at Wellington Airport, all the despartures,
they're pretty much canceled from seven am. That's jet Star,
that's Quantus, that's in New Zealand. But right through the
mornings the Soundsy ones it's still open.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Kew kew, Soundsy.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
You've got to take your head off to soundsy. I
mean they used to. Oh yeah, those guys are those
guys are used to But flying out, I would have
thought that getting out would be fine. It's the it's
more than getting in that's the problem. Is it nor
westerly there? It's not just northerly, is it? Because if
it's just straight northerly or southerly, it's going straight down
the runway. But I think it's the crosswind if it's

(22:52):
if it's got any westerly, and that's where it's a
bit Neglie and Wellington.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
It's a great day for you, isn't it. This is
a great day for you. I can see you're the
excitement on your face just the joy I've been talking
about weather and wind.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I love a bit of wild weather.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Jerry and Mini the hold Ikey breakfast.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
I was talking about the wild weather there before. And
trains have been canceled in Wellington. Hey, Jerry's is this Texter?
I think trains would be fine too in wind. They
might just be trying to stop people moving about, as
I mentioned one as people start at home, could be
flying projectiles, et cetera. Oh yeah that makes.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Sense, Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Now we need to discuss something, because after seven o'clock
we've got your waxing strips worth remnants of your back bush,
which we whipped off a couple of days ago. Apparently
we can't put them on trade me.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Okay, as the restriction on kind of body here being
sold on trade.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Me, I don't think it's got anything to do with
trade me. I think it's more of a company policy me.
I'm not quite sure of the ins and outs of it,
but I have been informed this morning that that's not possible.
I don't know why, but.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
I sniff a conspiracy. I sniffed some sort of conspiracy
against my back bush, That's what I sniff.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
I mean, I don't blame if it was a trade
me thing. I don't blame trade me for not wanting
your backbush anywhere near their platform. But we were planning
on putting it on trade me and then giving them
money away to charity, yeah, which I thought was quite
a good idea. But apparently you can't do that. So
instead we have to work out what we're going to
do with the remnants, with the leftovers of your backbush,

(24:26):
which is currently on three waxing strips.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Yes, sitting in the Bee studio there proudly have to
sit next to them. Screwed up, who knows.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't blame it. So anyway, after see, then we're
going to work out what we're going to do with that.
I mean, we do have a barrel in the studio
to Papa. Yep, that's an opt talking I suppose, or
maybe the Loup.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Jerry and the Night the hold Ikey breakfast, go.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
For Jerry and then na from Jerry.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, pretty good.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
What what's that supposed to be to?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's the old Geerard head, right go forward, Geeryard, go
for Girard and your roofers looking good.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I can't remember that one anyway. Well, I can't remember
a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
That's a very obscure to a Gerard head from the
Midnight from the mid eighties with John Rolls and the
Little Girl when guy for and she sort of did
the same thing.

Speaker 6 (25:34):
Here's the original version.

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Go for.

Speaker 10 (25:38):
You cheer Year and your roopers looking natural colors, blah
blah blah, and then the girl, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
And your roopers looking good and go for the Gerard
They were the healthy in days of jingles. Wasn't that
that was the healthy in days? Because I was the
many parts about at the same time.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, oh, there was a million jingles in those days.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Great work, hey, but Wendy today.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah, certainly is so. I mean to look at the
live updates from Wellington Airport is extremely windy, but there
is an incoming flight apparently scheduled to land from christ
Church at seven point fifteen.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Will track that. Well, sounds eer trucking one, aren't they?
And so a Chatham's here. They're still flying there. They're
still still flying in there like there some old big
bomber from the second.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Word one, Buttery Chatham's there. What a terrifying flight that
would be today to the chats across all that sea
as well.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
That's a pilot though you'd love it, wouldn't you. I
think it's a challenge.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
I think so. I think pilots pilots enjoy days like today.
The International fight's still coming into christ Church and still leaving.
Make sure you have a look at your schedules if
you are flying anywhere today.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Jerry and midnight the hot Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
You updated about weather and what's going on cancelations around
the country as the morning progresses. Obviously Canterbury, Marlborough, into
Wellington and the southern wided up are all affected by
a pretty severe wind this morning.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Well like, it doesn't take much just to tell people
to stay home, does it not impity people? Go I'm
going to go, I'm going to go to work. I'm going.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
I feels over those sounds here. People who probably thought
I thank god the flight's canceled, is like, no, no,
we're flying across. We can't blend them. We're going blend
them to Wellington.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Get in the seat, buddy.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
It's going to be a real quick flight. What do
you say? I always wonder what the pilots is in
that situation. They normally had this term that they use.
There's a little bit of weather around the country today.
A little bit of weather. I mean there's always weather
around the country. A few little bumps, A few bumps. Yeah,
and that means basically massive turbulence.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I like the one where he goes, we'll give it
a go.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Again. We'll see how we go.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
We're just going to give this one a little gun.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I don't want to hear that when you're flying into Queens, Sam,
we'll go and we'll poke the nose on and have
a lot. I don't want you to. I either want
us to have a go or not. Don't say we'll
give it a go. Speaking of that, I was reading
the other day about this new Zealander over in Japan.
Billy Helleran is his name, originally from Auckland, living in Japan.

(28:14):
At the moment, he was going out for a casual
eight k recovery run and the foothills of Mioko, which
is northwest of Tokyo, yep, just.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Out of Nagano, about about an hour out of Nagano,
which is famous for hosting in the winter Olympics up
in the mountain regions.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, beautiful part of Japan. When he encountered two adult
Asiatic black bears.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Now, I've seen stuffed versions of these beers. They are
about sixty kgs, so they're not your big grizzly bear
or your big brown beers. They've kind of if they
stood up, they would probably be about a meter and
a half high.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
So punishable, right, so a small I mean a teenager, yeah,
the teenager sixty kg's yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, but there are be still. They've got big claws
and teeth, ride bikes and things.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, they can smoke cigarettes and juggle balls.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
So one beer apparently charged it him. He tried to
shield himself and the beer bit down on his right arm.
It broke it in three places. They've got powerful jaws. Ideas,
it broke his arm three places, and it took out
a chunk of the bone and one of the bites.
Absolutely terrified. This is an angry beer. It also scratched

(29:31):
and punctured his calf muscle, and then it backed off,
and at that point he managed to call his wife,
and he managed to get to a car and then
to hospital, but the nearest hospital was about a forty
minute drive away, so then he underwent a whole lot
of surgeries and including a hip bone graft he's now
in recovery. But apparently there's a whole lot of incidents

(29:55):
in the last three while with beers attacking people in Japan.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, because yeah, people have people know that these beers
in Japan. There's the small little black Asiatic beers in
the Miokore region kind of huckerba whatever. And actually up north,
up in Hakkaido, they've actually got grizzly bears that have
come over from like kind of Russia and the top there,
so they've got the big ones up there the little
ones down here. But yeah, there's been more sightings of

(30:18):
them a lot of people in Japan. If you're going
in the bush, you wear bells on you, of course
you do, so you wear bells so you can make
and he and he actually stated Billy. He usually he
has music playing from a like a Yuwi boom, eclips
to himself out loud, doesn't wear never wear his headphones.
So he's aware that these beers through this forest, but
he's never seen one, and now he's certainly seen one.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
You don't think if you went to Japan you'd be
attacked by an animal, no, you know, and New Zealand
is also you think about New Zealand. You don't think
you're going to be attacked by an animal. Australia Australia
one hundred percent, Canada, yeah, United States, Alaska absolutely, but
not New Zealand. But just sort of got me thinking
about animals that I've been attacked by. I eight hundred

(31:01):
HEDI I eight hundred fourty eight seventy five. Give us
a call if you've ever been attacked by a beer.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yep or any animal actually well as a human animals,
I mean attacked by a few of those in Hamilton.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Humans are animals, I suppose mainly late at night, but
I think we've all probably been attacked by a human
at some stage.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah. I got a pulky wrap around my head at
the outback end by an angry lady.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
What have you been attacked by?

Speaker 3 (31:24):
She was about the same sizes as beer sixty kg's
with the clause.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, yeah, I under per seen.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Jerry and Mini the Hodachy Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Was just talking about this New Zealander who's over in Japan
who got attacked by two black beers, well one of
them was. I think there were two black beers, but
I think one was the one that attacked them. They're
not huge beers.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
The sifty kg's punishable. You've seen them before, Yeah, yeah,
I mean when I looked at when I when I
came across one, when I was I did not I'm
not in the wild. But I was like, oh yeah,
I I could take that on, you know it. It
would cut me up, do some damage. But I reckon.
I was about a throw a couple of lefts.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
It's all about intent with an animal, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, Well, apparently Billy Heller and Oh Heller in here
he got attacked. He did. He charged the beer back
because he said, you don't run from it, so he
charged it with him and tried to make himself as
big as possible. But the best will chomp his armor.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, I think there's different tactics for different types of beers.
I think you can't take on a grizzly, no, because
they're massive and they'll just destroy you no matter what.
I think. You played dead with a grizzly. I think
it's your only option. Just good good luck, keep calm there.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Just get tossed around like a rag doll. I've been
attacked by swan, quite angry swans.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
They can be vicious, don't they attack with the wing.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
No, they come in with the and the hissing, and
then they kind of try and get But I worked
out halfway during the attack that I was a lot
bigger and stronger. So I grabbed it by the neck
and swung it around my head.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
And fift it back into the lake.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
It took me what would work out that I was
bigger than it. I don't know what I was running.
And then it came in. I was said, you know what,
picked it up and punched around the head a couple
of times and fifted back.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
You know what's on. You're in trouble. It's been a
tack by magpies.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Oh yes, sweeping boys.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah. And this is the time of year when the
magpies are getting stuck in as well, and they are
actually quite freaky if you're not prepared for it. So
I was about twelve and I was walking across a
field on my way to school, and I and it
was morning, and I just saw this kind of it
was a sunny day and I just went dark all

(33:23):
of a sudden, and then I just heard this kind
of flapping noise and I was like, what the hell?
And I turned around and this bloody magpie was coming down,
like very close to my head. And I was not
expecting it. I'd never I hadn't grown up around magpies,
hadn't grown up in a rural area. This is in
remy we Era.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I wasn't expecting the mean streets.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I was not expecting to be attacked by a magpie.
And then it kept going at me. I ate my
school bag and I was in the middle of a field.
It must look real weird, but I was trying to
swing my school bag at this thing and it just
would not it would not give up.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
There's a whole page dedicated to swoopy boys in Australia.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Many they're smart too, Like they used the sun and
they come from that. They always attack from behind it,
and they always attack with the sun behind them because
you can't see them. It's got a Rachel.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Morning, Rachel, good morning.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
You've been attacked by an animal.

Speaker 11 (34:20):
Oh my god. I feel like this is a bit
of a lame story. But I had some rats growing up.
I had pet rats. Funny enough, one called Jeremy awesome,
awesome rat, And so my boyfriend thought it would be
really cool if he got a cool pear as well
and got a pet spirit. And I hated this thing.

(34:40):
It was horrible, tormented my rats. I came home one
day and one of them was just mentled on the ground.
He was He would come in the bathroom and bite
my barm while I was on the toilet. He was harndered.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
And what was his name, the spirit.

Speaker 11 (34:55):
I don't know and I don't care.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
He was horrible.

Speaker 11 (34:59):
And I just remember waking up one night and he
had locked or onto my nose and I started screaming.
And I don't know if you realize that spirits have
locked yours and so he was like latched on and
so my partner was trying to like plim him off
for ages, and he rapped nearly half my nose off.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
That's a horrific story, Rachel.

Speaker 11 (35:21):
No, I mean it's not quite the bear story, But
hold on.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
I think I think I'd rather go toe to toe
with an asiatic beer than have a ferriit on my nose.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
It's a vicious things. I mean, they're just horrible, the
ultimate killer, aren't they?

Speaker 11 (35:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (35:34):
Nasty?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
So what happened to your nose in the end.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
Oh, I had to stay home. It was pretty ripped up.
It was pretty sore. I mean it's healed now, but yeah,
I told him he had to get rid of the
ribbit the ferret. That was like he'd killed my rat,
he'd breaped my nose. He was just a menace. So
ferret had to go.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
How was the relationship after.

Speaker 11 (35:55):
That, Well, that kind of went not long after it.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
I think that's probably for the best.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Thoughts and freers.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Thanks for feel nothing lame about that story, Rachel, good one.
All right, see you, thanks for the thanks for the story.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Imagine waking up with a ferret hanging off your nose.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh, terrifying. You're not expecting that there's a ferret for
a pit. You're not allowed to keep them as pets anymore. God.
Actually I once went to a woman and the Waikato
who was keeping ferrets illegally. That was a very strange place.
Had a real Jamee gum silence of the Lamb's vibe.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Jerry and Mini the hold I keep breakfast.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
There's a whole lot more being attacked by animal stories,
which we don't have time for. Unfortunately. Now we might
have to come back to this later on.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Yeah, definitely, there's there's some crackers in there. Wow, A
lot of ram a lot of ram stories, because rams
are assholes.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah. I was a tacked by a ram once. I
put a lamb home as part of a school thing
and sat in the garage. Sam was the lamb's name,
but of course my name's W. So by the time
everybody in my class got to spend the weekend with
this thing. But by the time we got to w
the lamb had turned into a ram and he was

(37:08):
You go down into the garage and you just have
a cracker, You just come from miles away at you, out.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Of the dark.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, it was terrifying. It was. It was actually really
really frecky. He bunted me over, So, yeah, you gotta
be careful with rams. I was attacked by chickens sins
this text when I was three vicious bastards as a
three year old. Yeah, you would be. I was attacked
by a whale, just a small one. It buggered my

(37:33):
leg up. You don't even think of wales attacking probably accidentally.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
Yeah orcas are they whales?

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Oh yeah, but because I don't. Orcs don't really kill people.
They can't stay away from you unless you're trying to
train them in sea world.

Speaker 3 (37:49):
Oh yeah, and they get sick of you unless you
keep them in the swimming pool.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Yeah, and then they just go. You know what, I'm
sick of doing these tricks. Now, I can't be bothered.
I'm going to I'm going to kill all of you.
Coming up after the seven thirty sport headlines, we're going
to check to Chris Brandolino from NIWA about the wild
weather that's going on. Weather warnings in Canterbury, Marlborough, Wellington
and the wired Upper trains are canceled in Wellington, whole

(38:13):
lot of flights as well massive disruptions around the country.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Jury and Midnight The Hodarchy Breakfast, Jury and Midnight The
Hodarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Severe weather expected to impact several parts of the country today.
Many areas are under under a red wind warning the
highest level possible gusts up to one hundred and fifty
k's an hour expected and exposed places in joining us
on the phone, Principal Scientists of Forecasting for NIWA, Chris
brand Alino, Thanks for your time, Chris. Firstly, what was wind.

Speaker 12 (38:49):
When basically is the movement of a fluid, you know,
it's it's the movement of air, So that is wind,
wind is driven or created by pressure differences. Instead of
a pressure difference, think of an elevation different. So if
you're at the top of a hill and you're on
your bike and the hill is really steep, you're gonna
go down that hill really fast. If the hill is gradual,

(39:13):
maybe not as steep than your your speed is going
to be more gentle. And that's the same kind of
principle in the atmosphere. Think of a high pressure system
as the top of the mountain, if you will, and
low pressure, which is basically a hole in the atmosphere.
Think of that like the bottom of the hill. And
if the high pressure is high and the low pressure
is deep, then that fluid, which is air, will flow

(39:35):
really fast. So pressure gradient that is what creates wind.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
So what's the bike.

Speaker 12 (39:42):
The bike today is moving very fast.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
So's a lot today. Is the bike pretty much going
off a cliff?

Speaker 12 (39:49):
It's close to that, so one way. So here's an example.
We were talking with our colleagues and friends at met
Service and on Tuesday when we had that really bad wind,
the unfortunate fatality. The pressure difference between Invercargo and Auckland.
We're getting a little nerdy here, Yeah, thirty two and
a half hecta pascal. That's a yeah, that's it's a

(40:12):
it's a measurement of air pressure. So that was the
difference today around midday twelve noon, that difference is forecast
to be near or above forty hecta pascal. Yeah, so
between Auckland and Vercargo. So that basically is telling us
that that's the slope of that hill. Using that metaphor,
that slope is even steeper today than it was on Tuesday,

(40:33):
and therefore the wind is going to be stronger. So
over the next few hours we'll see the winds. They
should be really ramping up for a time in mid
and northern Canterbury. Also in the Lower North Island Wellington
where those red warnings from met Service have an issue.
We can't sleep on the Lower South Island Invercargo to
about then eating Catlands, about Kolouthogarm, there's probably going to

(40:53):
be a sting jet. So this low pressure singing jet.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (40:58):
So basically, and they get these really deep lows, really
strong deep holes or big holes in the atmosphere, the
wind really spins up, kind of like a figure skater
taking his or her arms into their body and they
start spinning up really fast, and when that happens, you
can get this this jet of high wind on the
back side. So Invercargo Gore about Klutha, Catlins, maybe towards Dunedin,

(41:21):
there's likely to be some very intense winds later on,
say early afternoon, mid afternoon, and that's another area of
concern in terms of wind damage. So honestly, you don't
want to be outside in these red warning areas. There's
heavy rain in the west of the South Island. It's
all happening today.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Oh shut it down, okay, as this time of year.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
As the reason this happens is because you've got antarctic
ear or you've got antactic systems like lows and then
you've got and then you've got highs coming down from
the tropics as that. Whye New Zealand gets that because
we get the tropics and the antactic things going on
and squeeze between the two.

Speaker 12 (41:58):
Yeah, you're in the right path there, you're in the
right journey. Basically, spring is a notoriously variable and I
call it the Teenager of seasons, very moody, very up
and down. And because of that you do get a
lot of wind. But this is next level. Basically, we
had we had this get an ultra nearity. We had
this sudden stratospheric warming event, which is over the South Pole.

(42:18):
Temperatures at the very tippy top of the atmosphere, like
way up in the atmosphere got really warm relative to
that part of the atmosphere. And what happened this is
back in September that basically had this flow on effect
where it pushed it displaced all the low pressure that
typically is over the Antarctic continent. It displaced it into
the Southern Ocean which is between New Zealand and the

(42:39):
ice and that put and that's accentuating the squeeze.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Ah is that right? Is that what's hitting? Is that
why it's like that? Yes? So Chris absolutely, Chris brand
Lena from Newa. The other question while we've got you
here is are we in el Ninia or Ala Nina
yad one?

Speaker 12 (43:04):
Well depends on where you are, Like Lininia really hasn't.
We haven't had the proper impacts because of that warming
over the Antarctic continent I spoke of. But eventually we'll
see quintessentially Nina weather. We think it may take longer
than expected. So maybe delayed, not denied. Typically we get
a higher chance for rain events and humid weather. For

(43:26):
the upper North Island maybe big rain events, but for
the lower and western South Island, where they've gotten all
this wind and rain over the past month or two,
they typically get drier in very warm conditions, which I
imagine at this time they'd probably welcome.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Chris Brandolini from Newway. You have made Jeremy Wells's day.
I can understand why you don't give us your cell
phone number, because if you did, Jeremy Wells will be
sliding into your deems. He he, he doesn't make.

Speaker 12 (43:56):
And I'm always up for a weather bromance.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Though, well you've got one. I'm in your way, Chris,
because I've never seen Jerry more engaged in an event
than a weather event.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
He loves it. Chris Brandolina, I'll be sending you a
you up at three. Thanks for your time.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
Thanks Jerry and min I the Hdiarchy Breakfast a.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Hiderarchy Breakfast Mastermind.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Yesterday's Mastermind topic was Famous Darryl's and Andrew from Napier
who's in the entertainment industry. He took away the prize
pretty easily, actually so today. Unfortunately we have to reset
to fifty dollars at Jackpot's fifty dollars every day, we
don't have a winner. And since there are read wind
of warnings over most of the country today, today's Mastermind

(44:40):
topic is.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
Wind man on the line. Today's competitor Mike from Dunedin,
who just happens to be a wind turbine technician.

Speaker 9 (44:50):
Hey you guys, are we doing very good?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Thanks Mike. Firstly, with the wind turbine, what's the wind
speed that you've got to shut the turbine down?

Speaker 9 (44:57):
At twenty leaders a second? Twitch works out to be
about seventy kilometers.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Now, oh wow, that's interesting. Okay, So the sweet spot
probably for the wind turbine then is what because there
must be a speed which gets things going as well?

Speaker 9 (45:17):
Yeah, yeah, so about ten meters of second is when
they kind of had their best production.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
What's that about fifty kilometers an hour.

Speaker 9 (45:25):
Times of like three point six thirty six kilometers an hour?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Okay, interesting, Well there we go.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Okay, Mike from dneed and the wind turbine technician, you've
got forty five seconds. We'll ask you five questions. You
just need to get three correct to win. The prize.
You can pass any time. We recommend you pass quickly.
We've got the justice for Tony clauses. If we stuff
it up, you win. So let's get into it. Mike
from Dunedin.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
First question for you, Mike, which band had the nineteen
ninety hit Wind of Change? All pass which Kenneth Grahame
novel features the characters Mole Ratty and Miss Toad Gone
on the Wind? No? What nineteen thirty nine movie is
the highest grossing film of all time when adjusted for inflation. Oh,

(46:13):
it's just syd for Elton John's nineteen seventy three Candle
in the Wind was written for which actress as well?
Which city in Illinois was nicknamed the Windy City?

Speaker 9 (46:27):
Um, you can't even name the city.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Which Kenneth graham novel features the characters Mole Raady and
mister Toad.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
No good, Okay, The band that had the nineteen ninety
hit Wind of Change was the Scorpions and mister Toad
Wind in the Willows, and the nineteen thirty nine movie
is the highest grating film of all time and adjusted
for inflation, was Gone with the wind?

Speaker 1 (46:56):
She said? Previously, I know John seventy three had candle
in the women's marriag on Monroe and Chicago is a
city in Illinois nicknamed the Windy City. Not because it's windy,
it's because of the politicians and the bureaucrats in Chicago
flapping around with things. Oh, Mike, bad Like it's not easy,
actually is it? This is the thing when you when

(47:17):
you get in the hot seat, it's not easy.

Speaker 9 (47:20):
Nah. No, I mean even some general knowledge would help me.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
But we should have made it on wind turbines and
you went all right exactly.

Speaker 9 (47:28):
That would have been ideal.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I was wanting to know, Mike, how much do you
have wind dreams? Like? How much do you think about wind?

Speaker 9 (47:34):
No, not too much normally, try and switch off when
I get home.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Good one. I've spent quite a bit of time up
one of those one turbines, and I've heard that there's
people have done all sorts of things up the top
of them.

Speaker 9 (47:44):
There's plenty of stories to go around site that I
should repeat on radio.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
Okay, we'll used do on the on the line and
we'll get it after you afterwards.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Thanks Mike, thanks for my best of luck, and thanks
for listening.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Jeers, guys, coming up, Really, how much he was about
to tell us a story about some poor.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Poor old Mike coming up after eight o'clock. My theories,
Jerry's theories. Oh yes, So we'll come up with a question.
You have to work out what I think the answer
to the question is. It's not what the actual answer is,
it's what I think. Okay, on eight hundred hrdache. Also,
we'll get back to your stories about being attacked by animals.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Jerry and Miniah, the Hodichy Breakfast.

Speaker 13 (48:29):
Jerry and Mania run hoole rag, Jerry and Vania run
whole ragerreck. Jerry and Mania run.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
It reminds me of your lovely twenty so the twenty
third of October twenty twenty five, min I sho. It's
still in the States as here. Glay is in for him.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Great to be here and a big day for you, Jeremy.
I mean, there's some severe weather warnings around most of
the country, but for you this is great stuff. You
get to talk. Whether you've talked to your your weather
crush earlier from Niwa Chris Brandolena, Brandolena, and that just
to pull you behind the curtain a little bit. Chris

(49:17):
Brandolino refuses to give us his mobile number. We only
can only ring him on landline, and there's a reason
for that because if he did have his mobile, you
would be sliding into his DMS, talking weather, just doing
a little come.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
There's a couple of texts about that actually. Obviously some
pretty extreme weather around the country today. Canterbury into Marlborough, Wellington,
the wided upper I just read here in Z five
six eighty Dunedin to Wellington has just diverted to christ
which I'm just looking at the flight radar they're twenty four.
So it came in and it went, oh, no, that's

(49:52):
not looking very good. Did a little bit of a circle,
did a little bit of circle in the in the
in the cock strait, and then went in and now
it's decided not that's not working for us. We're getting
back out of here.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
But good old sounds here. They're still giving it a crack.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
There sounds there eying can go yep, and I believe
Chathams Chathams as well, which lends in part of part
of umer yep.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
They're still giving her a hon New.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Zealand's bravest pilot. We'll find out who that is later
on today and maybe talk to them tomorrow hopefully. Also
this morning, we've got Jerry's theories, which is where we
ask a question and you have to work out what
I think The answer to the question is we'll do
that next.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
Jerry and the Night the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
We give Jeremy Wills a question.

Speaker 6 (50:39):
He has to come up with an answer and a
reason why.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
You have to figure out what answer he would come
up with, and a reason why. If you're closest, you win.

Speaker 10 (50:52):
It's time for Jerry's theory.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Right, so far this year we've had what year was
the first backflip performed in your theory? Was fifteen thirty five?
You came up with that. How many sexual partners does
Jeremy think Mania's had? An eleven? All from Ymty. What
percentage of the population does Jeremy think have joined the
mile high club? And yours was less than one percent.

(51:18):
Now the key here is you can't google this. You
can't google this because this is according to your google
your head. That's right and what you think. So today
we're looking at in Jeremy's theories is the percentage of
New Zealanders who are vegan.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
That's right, So how many New Zealanders in terms of
a percentage of our population. Do I think are vegan?
And when we say vegan, that means that you're not
consuming any animal products. Yep. So no eggs, no meat, eggs, meat,
no dairy. Obviously that includes cheese. I'm assuming as well.

(51:55):
Most vegans don't wear leather yep, because you're killing an
animal to get that leather.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
Yeah so no, no kind of leather shoes, no, No,
no belts.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
I don't know where vegans sit on wool Some some
really intense vegans won't won't wear woolen garments.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Mind you.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
I know some intense vegans. A letter cheeseburger at eleven
thirty nine on a Friday.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Well, there's always a little bit of movement. Oh, eight
hundred HEDECHI eight hundred four to eight seven five. It's
not a text thing, it's a it's a calling thing.
You can call in and tell me how many percentage
of New Zealanders you think. I think, yeah, a vegan,
and then I will tell you my theory on what

(52:40):
I think. Okay, right, let's go to Greg, who's on
the line. Morning, Greg, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
Oka are good?

Speaker 1 (52:48):
You make milking machines and he once came second and
a chili eating competition. I remember that from last time.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
Yeah, you obviously have a great memory for the phone numbers.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Really, hey, Greg, what do you what do you thinks
inside Jeremy's Google search?

Speaker 5 (53:06):
I'd say regarding this one, I'd say probably probably ten
percent of the population is vegetarian. Yeah, and i'd say
probably of that probably a first a first between between
ten and twenty percent of those would be vegan.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Okay something they say.

Speaker 5 (53:26):
One to two percent of the population.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Okay, okay, so one to two I need it needs
to be more specific than that.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
Greg, We're going decimal. Okay, I'm going to go for
one point three seven percent.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
Okay, that's good to places. That's good. Good good from you. Greg. Okay, okay,
you stay there.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Have written that down one three seven seven Yeah, percent
of the population. That's that's what Greg thinks. I think
as a percentage of New Zealanders who are vegan. It's
got a lake morning.

Speaker 8 (54:01):
Luke, Good morning, Fallas.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
How's that good? What percentage of New Zealand's do you
think that I think of vegan?

Speaker 12 (54:07):
Well?

Speaker 9 (54:07):
After Gregg's guess, I'm not one hundred percent sure, but.

Speaker 12 (54:10):
I think Sherry thinks the percentage of New Zealand is
a vegan is thirteen percent?

Speaker 3 (54:16):
Okay, thirteen percent?

Speaker 1 (54:18):
All right, we're putting putting looked down at thirteen right, okay?
Oh eight hundred hardeki, eight hundred and forty eight, seven
to five happy to take more people. Yep.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
This is according to you as well. This is according
to you, not not Google. It's no point in googling
at all. This is just if you channel, if you
channel Jeremy Wells, what do you think that's right?

Speaker 1 (54:38):
Let's go to Nick morning Neck. Hey, guys, Nick, how
many percentage of New Zealands do you think that I
think of vegan?

Speaker 5 (54:48):
I think that you think it's about four point four?

Speaker 1 (54:55):
We just won this more place, and I want to
go to.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
Four point seven zero?

Speaker 6 (55:00):
Okay, any particular reasons for.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
That from you both?

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Very good? It's very good. Okay, So four point four
point seven zero your reasoning for that, Nick.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
To stab in the dark vibe, it's a vibe thing,
but it seems like a number that would line up
with you.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
Jeremy, Yeah, four points even probably about right?

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Actually, Sandy, Hey, hey, going good?

Speaker 1 (55:27):
What percentage of New Zealand's do you think that I
think a vegan.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
I feel like it's zero zero percent?

Speaker 9 (55:36):
Okay, what's the letter shows?

Speaker 11 (55:38):
That's what really shrew me under the one line?

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Yeah right, okay, and zero percent at all.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
It isn't a single vegan in New Zealand's not true vegan?

Speaker 3 (55:47):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 5 (55:48):
Full time twenty.

Speaker 11 (55:49):
Four to seven.

Speaker 5 (55:51):
Never detO a vegan.

Speaker 11 (55:52):
Zero.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Vegan, not a late night drinking vegan who smashes a
big mac here.

Speaker 5 (56:01):
I'm not vegan, friends, I've seen the tour.

Speaker 3 (56:04):
Yeah they're called vegans where they're just vaguely vaguely vegan.

Speaker 5 (56:10):
Yeah, I think that would be a different jury theories.
This is pure veganism, right.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Okay, okay, I like we said, he's going all right,
we've got we've got four people.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yeah, we've got Greg, Luke, Nick and Sandy who have
put their guesses in. So up next we'll find out
what Jerry thinks.

Speaker 4 (56:28):
Jerry and Midnight the Hodiarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
We're currently dealing with Jerry's theories where I'm asked a question,
I'm going to come up with an answer and a
reason why, and people on eight hundred you have to
figure out what I think, yeah, the answer the question.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Is, and the question today is percentage of New Zealanders
who are vegan. Greg went for one point three seven.
He's gone to the two decimal places. Luke went for
thirteen percent. He believes you might think there's a lot
of vegans out there. Nick went for four point seven
zero percent of the population. Sandy came in zero percent.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
So Sandy thinks there are no true vegans in New Zealand. Well,
she thinks that. I think that there are no true
vegans in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
And technically, since the majority of us were born in breastfeed,
winged wing, at some stage, we weren't vegan true vegan.
But I think it's when once you make a decision
and a lifestyle choice, I think that's that's where we
need to come.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Yeah, I would say that, and look, I like Sandy's
Sandy's right, there are no true vegans in New Zealand
because yeah, as you said, everybody at some point was
breastfed yep, and exited out of a woman, so which
is not eating a woman. But anyway, yeah, I think
I think it is a number. It is a number.

(57:48):
Let me let me just be clear on that so
Sandy immediately at zero percent. Well, I'll run you through
my theory. Okay, So I think there's about probably in
the New Zealand population. I would say there at least
fourteen percent vegetarian.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Just straight vigio. They still eat eggs, cheese, yeah, cheapez.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
So it's going to be lower than that. Yeah, all right, Okay,
that's what I can because you go vegetarian, then you
go vegan, would be less than that number. I think
there's a direct correlation worth Green Party voters and veganism. Okay,
there are nine point eight In my head, I'm thinking
there's about nine point eight percent of New Zealander's vote Green. Yes,
that's voting age people, so it's over the age of eighteen.

(58:33):
There's probably some vegans who are under the age of eighteen,
so that number would probably be higher in terms of
New Zealand population. So I'm going to put that up
to about eleven percent of the population. But then you
start to reduce it back from there. I mean, I'm
looking at sort of the population of Tarkica, which is
about twenty one hundred and forty seven people. Out of that,

(58:55):
a huge percentage of the people who live in Tarcica
are vegan. I know that from that. I've spent a
bit of time there. There's also a direct correlation with
the people who are part of the anti globalization movement. Yes,
about about two percent of New Zealander is a part
of that, people who share anti Chris Luxe and memes.
There's a high correlation during that and veganism. Sixteen percent
of New Zealanders probably share those memes. So it's going

(59:17):
to be lower than that number and higher probably than
members of fire poy clubs, which I would put at
zero point zero zero two percent of New Zealanders. Dreadlocks
is probably a thing that you need to consider as well.
I think there's probably zero point zero zero zero three
percent of New Zealanders have dreadlocks, including Coreaker commentator Frankie McKay.

(59:42):
And there's a direct correlation with veganism and wearing hemp okay.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
So with all those considerations, what does Jerry's theory around
the percentage of New Zealanders who are vegan?

Speaker 1 (59:53):
My percentage of New Zealanders that I think are vegan
is two point one nine percent two point.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
One nine percent. That means that Greg at one point
three seven was the closest on that one. Congratulations, Greg,
You've climbed into the into the head of Jeremy Wells
and you're the closest here in Jerry's theory.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Well do you very much?

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Great Greg, Great word Greg. But I mean, look, let's
be honest. There's so many vagans out there, so many vagans.
I've come across a number of vagans. But hey, how
can you tell that someone's a vegan? I'll tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Jerry and Mni the Hodarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Okay, you seem to be crapping on there, Jesu. So
we're talking earlier about the thirty two year old New
Zealander Billy Heller, who's living in Japan, originally from Auckland.
He was out running casual little warm down session.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Well he's an ultramarthon runner, isn't he. So he was
going on a recovery run through the Miwyorkle Valley there
through about Nagano there up in the beautiful part of Japan,
the beautiful part of Japan. For God, his bells on
him because he's supposed to run with bells and the
bush up there due to the fact that you might
encounter some beers and he did. He's encountered two black

(01:01:22):
Asiatic beers.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
You don't rate these beers, you reckon. They're propathetic, pretty punishable.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
They are about sixty kg's on their back legs, they're
about jab height. So yeah, I mean, in terms of beers,
you don't want to be coming across a brown beer
or a grizzly, but these little black Asiatic beers a
fly kick to the head. Look, sure, they've got claws
and teeth, but very punishable. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
I think of all the mammals that you could come across, though,
to be feared to be attacked by a bear, a
bear is an animal that I wouldn't want to.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
It'd be messy. I'm saying it would be messy. But
I think if Billy heller And had come across a grizzly,
he would not be to tell.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Agon, no, absolutely not. I mean you were talking earlier
on about your story because you took on a swan, yes,
and it attacked you initially and started having its way
with you, and then you thought, you know what, Yeah,
I could take this, and he grabbed it by the
neck and flung it into the lake.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yes, I dad, Well I got it. There's the point
where why am I running away from the swan that's
boding me on the butt? Turn around, picked it up
by the neck and just fully hammer through it back
into the lake. And I was like, yeah, then he
swam off, and I was like, I just showed that
animal whose boss. Every now and then, an animal needs
to be told who's.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
One hundred percent like if an animal in my opinion,
and like a lot of animal people out there will
be like, don't be so cruel to animals. But if
an animal attacks you first, yes, at that moment, you
need to show the animal whose boss. I mean, we said,
have a cat, a ginger cat that lived up the road,
and you'd be walking up the footpath and this ginger
cat would come out of nowhere and just pounce on

(01:02:49):
you and just scratch the hell out of your leg.
And so I was always ready for that cat. And
if that cat had a crack at me, I was
going to karate kick that thing out of there. And
I think that's reasonable.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Yeah, if it comes at your first. Say, here's a text.
My cousin and I were chased by a skunk. Now,
I think if a skunk chases you backwards, I'd be
more concerned because that's why they squirted.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
This stuff isn't here. But they've got sharp teeth sunk.
I think they're quite a lot bigger than what you'd
think of skunk. Not a squirrel, right, I mean, if
you're chased by a squirrel, you'd be sweet as Here's
Jimmy from Cambridge Morning. Jimmy, how are you?

Speaker 8 (01:03:22):
Yeah, good man? How the game good?

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Have you been attacked by an animal or do you
know someone who's been attacked by an animal?

Speaker 8 (01:03:28):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, pretty timely Chad. Actually just over
the weekend, there's about half a dozen of us went
up north for the weekend and we were coming back
through on Sunday and stopped and at the Rango for
a couple of handles and yeah, he had had a
couple of yarns along this vein and one of the
dads where was said that when he was over in

(01:03:50):
Aussie with his old man when he was about four
or so, he got swallowed down by a pelican. Yes,
they're at a zoo or something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
She got swallowed down by that's a great way to describe.

Speaker 8 (01:04:10):
The Yeah, like like his body but they went over
head over and apparently lifted him up and his dad
had to pull out full his legs.

Speaker 3 (01:04:24):
Then you're going head first into a pelican's big sack, is.

Speaker 11 (01:04:27):
What it is?

Speaker 8 (01:04:28):
Like a big where we're going with gullet But.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Fine, yeah, okay, so four years old.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
So then his dad's has gone head first and his
legs are poking out. Oh my god.

Speaker 8 (01:04:40):
So I suppose you know it's some they lift their
heads birds to, you know, and I suppose he's tried
to do that with our dear little judge of mate. Yeah,
dad's dad's grabbed his legs and hawked him out of there.
But the best part of it all as a parent,
it's on video. So wanting to get this adam a

(01:05:05):
little bit, but.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Yeah, get that footage, Jimmy, you need to share it
with us because I'd love to see how the pelican
lured your little ginger friend into its beak, like want
did have lollies in the in the back of its gallay.

Speaker 8 (01:05:20):
You might have been a fan of a bit of
fish or something you have known.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
But oh that's very good, Jimmy, thank you for your story.
Appreciate that. And yes, Gelane said, if you get the video,
please flick it through us. I'd love to see it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
Oh, here you go. Here's the rules for beers. The
rule for beers. If it's brown, lay down. If it's black,
fight back. Apparently, there you go. So that I'm right,
that little black asiaic bee you can punch it. Grizzlies brown, Yeah,
they're pretty brown, they're pretty. They're huge. You don't want
to you don't want to fight them. You want to
lay down and just whimper.

Speaker 1 (01:05:51):
I wonder if anyone can beat Jimmy storry about his
friend that was eaten by pelican.

Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
I just imagining the dad coming around the corner. There's
two legs out of a pelican's mouth to swallow it
down to the landing to put handy down the gallop.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Ginger as well, Jerry and Midnight the Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
We've been talking about when animals attack, or when being
attacked by animals, or even attacking animals back. I mean,
you attacked a swan and flung it into a lake.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Hey, hey, it attack me first. I just hammer throw
it back into the lake when I snapped, So I'm
not taking that from a swan.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
I think birds are starting to become quite entitled when
it comes to attacking humans.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Yeah, I think so a lot of I've got to
have a lot of message around geese. I mean, when
you look at a goose, I mean a goose for
versus a human, you should be able to punch that
pretty easily.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
A ghost will go a small human like a toddler
at a park and you're out there, feet in the
ducks or something, and then a ghost will turn up,
and that ghost they love attacking toddlers.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
No, there were nothing a human adult left right left
on a ghost.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
To sort it out. I thought a boot to a
goose would do.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
Just to the year to the abdomen.

Speaker 1 (01:07:09):
We're not advocating animal violence here. This is just an
animal this defense. Here's a story about guse here. When
I was in the UK on holiday at a campground,
a group of geese, oh, pin some people on the
shower block.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
I think they called a gaggle.

Speaker 1 (01:07:24):
There's a yeah, a gaggle of geese pins some people
in the shower block. I walked over and kicked one
on the head and grabbed another by the neck. The
people couldn't believe their eyes. Yeah, well you're helping those
people in that situation.

Speaker 3 (01:07:37):
Yeah, well they're cornered in the shower block. What were
they going to do tend the showers on?

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Yeah? What were they going to do? I don't know.
He's a hero, Yeah he is. So that is the
Headachey Breakfast for Thursday, the twenty third of October twenty
twenty five. We've got the sec comment Tree coming up
tonight seven o'clock on iHeartRadio.

Absolutely, third teen to twenty. We're going to get a
gay man. And also thoughts prayers everyone out there. With
the weather warnings, stay at home, stay safe, particularly around
the Canterbury, Marlborough and Wellington regions.

Speaker 6 (01:08:06):
All flights in New Zealand. Flights out of Wellington this
morning are canceled. There are still some scheduled though for
sounds ears Oh yeah and yeah Chatham at nine forty five.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
Well tomorrow we will revisit New Zealand's bravest pilot tomorrow.
When we look at the flight schedules and the landings
and comings and goings of Wellington Airport, I was just.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Looking here horrendous turbulence and christ Urchs flight. The one
passenger who's just arrived in Auckland from christ Church. Todd

of the Alps that you get thrown around. You get
through it quite quick though.
