Speaker 1 (00:03):
Get a it's Deary here from the Headachey Breakfast. Just

but didn't know that we also do a live radio show,
we do. And if you're wondering how to find out
what frequency to listen to us in your area, just

get on with the podcast. Welcoming onto the podcast Monday,
(00:37):
the third of November twenty twenty five, just two days
away from what used to be one of the best
days of the year.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
What is it now then? If it used to be
one of the best days of the year, it's.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Just not as good as it used to be.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Why why not? I presume you're talking about guy fawks.
Oh I think we're going to say the start of
the West Indian to it? No, yeah, guy fawks for well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
No, you're right though about the start of the West
Indian to it. It used to be way better.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I'll tell you what was going to be some five weeks.
Skyrockets why in flight afternoons light? Why do why do
you think it's lost.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Its skyros Skyrockets when they got rid of skyrockets. I
loved a skyrocket.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
They were a good time. I think that was good.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Man was I'm bricky this time last year because I
feel like I've had this discussion with you about fireworks
and five weeks mishaps.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You would have been this time last year because we
were trying to find a co host.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
And how did that go for you?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
We got the first one we tried. We see it,
we said, we said, you've.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Got the guy from across the road, and they're trying
to get out of it. It's the whole thing. Kids.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Still, yes, it's not as good.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, Skyrocket's quite good.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
We were talking last year about yeah, mishaps because I
talked about the time I got shop by Black Russian.
I'm sure I'll retail it in a couple of days.
It was like a lit up by a black Russian.
My uncle set off these fireworks and we're all sitting
on the deck and I was sitting between betwixt my
mother and my grandmother and my uncle. I feel like
(02:15):
in my memory he was using a rugby tea to
hold the fireworks up, and then the black Russian tipped
over and lit me up. Now at that time I was.
This is in mid nineties. I'm in a mid nineties
polar fleece that's about as flammable as the garment gets
as a mid nineties poler fleece. What you're about five,
(02:36):
I was probably like somewhere around eight or ten maybe, and.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It was just pop, pure polyester.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's like, yeah, recycled marjorine or whatever, and this thing
will let me up. And my mum, my grandmother just
ran and I curled into the fetal position and I
just got torched.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You do the right thing, You do the right thing.
You curled into the fetal position, and you averted your
eyes and then it had.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I just got all these holes in this polplice that
I had. My mom threw it out. She's like, I
can't look at that as a daily reminder of abandoning
her child. But you survived on you know the character
it built in me. Yeah, I fear no firework.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, well, that's the same as me. Some of my
best memories have been getting blasted by a rogue work.
And there's something I mean, I've told the story of
a million times when my family and I one firework.
The thing that was holding it the jar that was
holding it tipped over, and then a twenty shot pursued
it on shot three, so they're seventeen to go.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I was counting. I was like one, two, and then
it tapped over.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It was like, oh three, Oh Jesus Christ, and pointed
straight at our family on the deck, who were there,
all ready to go and huddle.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Kids, turn your eyes, turn your.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Back, and it just started blasting.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Did you guys form a wells phalanx?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We did do it, four of us, and I've got
my arms around the kids and We're all looking up.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We're pinned against the house. We couldn't get away.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You're an adult in the situation.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'm the adult.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Toy is here as well, and we're just getting blasted
and the kids are getting blasted, and it was like,
oh out, I'm taking it in the back. Tolsey took
a couple, the kids took a couple and it just
kept going and it was comedy how many and it it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Felt like it felt like it was going to go
on forever.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Wins it over.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And then it finished, and man, I felt like the exhilaration.
It was so great.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, it survived.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was like war. I was like, Oh, this is
what it feels like I go to war.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I get it now. Imagine you're on myth. You know
what I mean. I'm listening to a podcast at the moment.
It's an interview with the guy who wrote a book
about the the Nazis being on myth.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Oh is it called Blitzed this Norman Oler?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes, it's an interview with him. I can't read, so
otherwise I'd love to read that book. But he's like,
picture you and four other mates. So there's five years
you get fucking blitz on myth and then climb into
a Panzer tank and roll out over the front lines.
Can you imagine how intense that must be?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Man, and I think that the closest you'd get to
that is taking seventeen shots from a twenty shot while
trying to protect your family.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, it's the closest thing in modern times. But we
emerged from it unscathed, victorious, and and we united as
a family, and we still talk about it to this day.
I remember when that work went rogue on us. Every
guy fawks that comes up, so they are I reckon that.
No one sells though anything to put fireworks in.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So I think they do now. So you know when
you buy those like family packs from the warehouse or wherever. Yeah,
they some of them come with this like plastic. Again,
it looks like a rugby team, but it's big and
it'll fit each of the things in it. Oh have
you ever seen those nhh, yeah, I think I think
they come with those now.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
That's what they needed to develop that for the longest time.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Square hole, round hole, blah blah, and they all fit.
They correlate to whatever's in the thing. But I haven't
five weeks in a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Because I've gone nowadays with a with a sand bucket.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I go with a metal a metal bucket.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That you normally use for the ashes out of a fire,
and then I just put sand in that and and
plunk the works into that and then they spray out everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
When I was a kid, we used to go out
to there's like a causeway on the way out to
Sumner and christ Church and my dad at the time
had a truck. He ran like a career business with
your father at that time, my father at that time,
So he then you got a new father letter on
h No, I just been to him, right, my father
(06:37):
at the time, I've already started calling my missus my
girlfriend at the time. I'm talking about like a story
from a week.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Ago, the next missus x sture.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, the next ex missus my future first wife. Anyway,
So yeah, my dad at the zime, I'm still my dad.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
He had this truck and it was big enough that
you could put a couch in the back of it,
and we would drive out to yeah, this little causeway
that where you could have got this amazing view, and
the big families parked all the way along this road
and we were just on a couch in the back
of the thing. I presume he was having a couple
of beers. I don't remember. But that's the way to
(07:16):
do it, I think, because there's no clean up. Your
family's not going to get lit up. You don't have
to buy anything, you don't have to do anything. Just
go and watch and they're way better than whatever you're
going to buy.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, they're not cheap, man, They're not cheap anymore. Not
all works created equal. I mean, there's some beauties out there,
some bad boys are generally quite good.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We went to we went to just one of the
big shows a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
With Jason, Mike and Key.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It was me, Keys and Pugs was in the background
as they were just carrying at the corner. Now we
went to it was in Kumeu and it was amazing.
It was one of those things where you go this,
I'm never going to get anything this good at home. Yeah, yeah,
I'm as well come and have a look at this.
And it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, it's a different Thingure No videos of fireworks are
they the worst thing? You will never look at it again.
But I reckon it's a different thing. I reckon your
public display is different because there's no there's no jeopardy involved.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
The fear, although I was.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I was once on the paperwork and Queenstown for the
opening of the Queenstown Window Festival and the wind and
it was that they had a barge out on the
lake like orp and the wind changed direction midway through
the fireworks display and it started raining, buts of debris
(08:41):
from the from the fireworks. Good Ship and Paul went out,
run for your lives and people just started panicking, Rubby
your life.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
We're under attack. Rubb your lives. And people took that
heated that warning, and they took off their lives.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Should we take quick break and come back?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What's this filky little chune?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's regurgitated, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
It sounds like some shit a frog would listen to.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Poly I found it after your story about Yes, yeah girl,
topical chune? Why do we play that on Radiohote.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Well, if we're looking to increase our listenership among the
amphibious community, there's well untapped market.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I don't know if anyone's going for frogs or salamander's
at the moment.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I listened to a thing the other day in the
history of lungs, I bet you've not thought about that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Where the lungs come from? Why have we got lungs? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Okay, well maybe this is a question. So apparently the
reason insects are only as big as they are, they
can only get to a certain size, you know, the
size of a fucking tarantula or a wet is because
of their ability to process oxygen. Their lungs are strong
enough for them to be any bigger. But back in
the day when there was more oxygen in atmosphere, that's
when we had fucking cockroaches and size of labradors.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
This is they talked about this in the history of lungs.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Do you know that they don't even so they absorb
oxygen through their scars.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
They don't even have lungs.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do they have skin that? Yeah, well they just absorb
oxygen as as an insect. And do you know that
we absorb oxygen through our skin?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
We do. Yeah, this podcast just become us talking about
more interesting podcasts.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That's like when they used to paint people for movies
and things like that, and didn't someone die because they
painted them completely gold?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Well you can't, Yes, you can't.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
This is the thing.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You can't cut completely, paint over it and your skin.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Pause. Well, I was listening to a more interesting podcast
than this one, and it was actually they had these girls.
I forget what they were calling them, but you know
back in the day when they made every they were
making everything glow in the dark, just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Like I've got a picture of us, and what happened
to Keysy's face? What have they done to Keysy's face
in that picture?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
They aged him.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Up bigger, and it's like the giraffe.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's like, what are they done to his face? He
doesn't the giraffe is nick. He's not there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He doesn't look like that they've removed. They've removed toward
Jay's nick and given Keys him about three times his nick.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And then put him over Jerry's shoulder. And so the
bottom row is me, Jerry, and Keyzy as if that's
the Breakfast show. And then the back row is Jason
Minogue and Lee Hart who's also not on that show.
And it's so weird and Pribs missing so good stuff.
(11:41):
That doesn't look like they've kesied him up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Something about black and white as well? Doesn't he look
like us?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I was just looking right at you and I and
then that just flashed up, and that's why I started laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You look good in black and white. It doesn't matter,
but not good for me.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
It doesn't matter if it's black or white anyway. So
they had these girls back in the day that would
paint watches. They would paint you remember you to be
able to get a glow in the dark watch. But
the stuff they were using was radioactive, which is why
it glowed in the dark. And these girls were like,
you know, they're painting these things all day. I'll get
around to the reason. I keep pointing out their gender
(12:19):
and you know, on a Friday, they're about knock off,
they're about to go get on the purse. They're like,
should paint our nails? And so we got glow in
the dark nails. But yeah, and then they're like, should
paint our lips? And we go to the party and
we'll have glow the dark lips.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
How long ago is this about.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I'm saying the fifties they all died. Oh no, they're
painting the lips with the radioactive yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, So with you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The reason I was coming around the history of lungs
with frogs is because you know how frogs go with
the and they go down. That's that's how they reckon
that we started doing.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Withung Oh with big nick sack thing big.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
That's exactly because it's essentially it is the sacks. Lungs
are made up it it's a little sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And then they went internal.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So originally the big gulp was actually forcing the air
down into you.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
And the weirdest part.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
About the whole lung thing, So it was four hundred
million years ago is when we developed lungs. So we
started and we're huge evolutionary advantage when we started exiting
out of out of water, and there was more oxygen
out there, so we were already kind of battling with that.
But then it turns out that you could generate more
energy from the oxygen down with girls than with girls. Yeah, right,
(13:41):
and so there's a mass advantage there. But also who
would have thought that the main thing is the expulsion
of the carbon dioxide. So it's actually about how quickly
you can expel the carbon dioxide to how quickly you
can create energy. So obviously, when you breathe in the
oxygen and it goes it then gets through the lungs,
(14:02):
it gets circulated into your blood, and then that's pumped
around your system to your muscles, what it's here, to
your tissue, and then that oxygen promotes growth and tissue.
It helps the tissue work. Unfortunately, carbon dioxide, which is
what happens once it's been used as the opposite for tissue,
so that kills tissue and so you've got to get
(14:24):
that crap out. So the reason when you're puffing and
you're running, it's not because you need more oxygen. It's
actually because you need to get rid of more carbon dioxide.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Otherwise you'll didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I've always thought it's a massive inefficiency in the human
respiratory system that we breathe out the same hole we
breathe in. Wouldn't it be great if we had like
nostrils on the back of our head and so it
was just constantly coming through, you know what I mean?
Why do we have to stop breathing in to breathe
out again? And we had a different hole somewhere else
maybe as well.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I think that's got to do with the fact we
came out of the water, I.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Know, but like I don't know, if I was updating
the human body, that'd be one of my first ports
of call. You'd breathe out a different hole than you
breathe in. You also wouldn't eat through the same hole.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think the multi hole thing's quite efficient.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
And then the other one would be eyelashes that don't
fall into your eye because no one really pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I had a bicycle accident as a kid because I
got eye lashes in my arm on the Cambridge High
Level bridge.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Because if you look at me and don't because you're
fall in love, but I have long, luscious eye lashes,
you do. Women always comment on them. I wish I
had your eyelashes. I wish you had to.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You men, just this, just this, me wish they had them.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, well they can have them. Remember this time last year,
I bought these glasses. Bought these flash glasses with the
lenses went reverse, so instead of being con cave, they
were convexed such that they angled back towards you. And
I had to I had to return them because my
eyelashes are so long. Turns out your eyelashes are dirty.
Their job is to stop doing it from getting into
(15:56):
your eyes, so when they flicker against your glasses, they
just smudge the fuck out of it the point where
you can't see anything. And I had to return these
glasses because I could they my long, luscious eyelashes were
flickering against them. And speaking of I had a cup.
I didn't think anyone a fuck about this. You probably don't.
I'm glad we've lifted. At the end of the podcast,
I talked about buying those glasses the other day. If
(16:19):
they good enough for acet Rockie, they're good enough for Jerry,
and I mentioned that I had been looking at these
for a while, and actually in July when I went
over to Brazil. I was looking at them. I was like,
that's cool, want to buy them. My message goes, you
look stupid, don't buy them, and so I didn't. Then
you bought them South Congress in Austin, Texas, and I
was like, you bass it. I've wanted these for the
longest time. And that afternoon I tried them on and
(16:42):
everyone's sitting around the pole blind drunk, was like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You look good, you should buy them.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Went back the next day. They wouldn't sell them to me.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
They'd passed me off. No, they don't look good enough
on you.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Then my messes came over and we had another argument
in a ray Ben shop in Nashville. Said you're not
buying them, and then I said, you know what, We're
gonna fucking stand for myself.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, mate, before or after the engagement after.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
There we go, Yeah, what are going to do? We're
going to You're going to end it over? Yeah, you're
going to end it.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
You like all the likes coming through on Instagram, Now
you want to shut it down fifty short of a thousand.
By the way, if you can go and like that, please,
that would make a word of difference to her. And
so when we went down to well with fucking not
bought them at the airport and I came back and
she's backed this up into a corner. Now she's she
can't you know, in a relationship or any even with
(17:34):
your mates. Once you've made a strong statement like that,
she's never going to be able to relent and say
that she likes them. She's backed this up into a corner.
Toot too strong a statement, and that's full victim to
this quite often anyway. So she goes, I just want
to look like Jerry do Is that what you're.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Man, you heap so cheering.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I was like you, we tried these on months ago
and you said no, and then yeah, I know. She's like,
I just got to look like you. But so I
good news this morning. I've found out you last year, I've.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Lost mine, lost them. Oh, I've mislaid them. I don't
know where they are. It's really annoying me.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That's what sucks about glasses, man. He a splash out
on a pair of glasses. The chances you lose to
go through the roof. You buy a pair of twenty
dollars supermarket shitters, you'll never lose them.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I've just retired my other ones too, because I've I
retire my glasses because before they lost, I retire them,
get a new peer. Always try and get a new
peer every year. Yeah that's just I'm old and extravagant.
But so this year my new peer. Now they've lost,
I've had to pull something out of retirement. The other
problem is that I've got I'm blind, so these things.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, you're going to start go glasses. You're going to
start running into the Heath issue where if you lose
your prescription glasses, you're gonna have to start wearing your
prescription sunglasses. And you'll see Heath sitting inside with the
sunglasses on if you see them, and that just know
he's lost his glasses.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And everyone thinks that you think you're pretty cool to read.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, so anyway, I've got the glasses, You got the
yoppers glasses with yourpers.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Just in the podcast in the next couple of days,
because we're going to wrap it up. I've just realized,
growing up in the roaderhousehold, we didn't even have fireworks,
and I only just thought about it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Now, let's discuss this tomorrow. One of the Frogs classic

Why why not? I presume you're talking about guy fawks.
Oh I think we're going to say the start of
the West Indian to it? No, yeah, guy fawks for well.
Speaker 2 (00:55):

Skyrockets why in flight afternoons light? Why do why do
you think it's lost.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Its skyros Skyrockets when they got rid of skyrockets. I
loved a skyrocket.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
They were a good time. I think that was good.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Man was I'm bricky this time last year because I
feel like I've had this discussion with you about fireworks
and five weeks mishaps.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You would have been this time last year because we
were trying to find a co host.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
And how did that go for you?

We got the first one we tried. We see it,
we said, we said, you've.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Got the guy from across the road, and they're trying
to get out of it. It's the whole thing. Kids.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Still, yes, it's not as good.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, Skyrocket's quite good.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
We were talking last year about yeah, mishaps because I
talked about the time I got shop by Black Russian.
I'm sure I'll retail it in a couple of days.
It was like a lit up by a black Russian.
My uncle set off these fireworks and we're all sitting
on the deck and I was sitting between betwixt my
mother and my grandmother and my uncle. I feel like
(02:15):
in my memory he was using a rugby tea to
hold the fireworks up, and then the black Russian tipped
over and lit me up. Now at that time I was.
This is in mid nineties. I'm in a mid nineties
polar fleece that's about as flammable as the garment gets
as a mid nineties poler fleece. What you're about five,
(02:36):
I was probably like somewhere around eight or ten maybe, and.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It was just pop, pure polyester.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's like, yeah, recycled marjorine or whatever, and this thing
will let me up. And my mum, my grandmother just
ran and I curled into the fetal position and I
just got torched.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You do the right thing, You do the right thing.
You curled into the fetal position, and you averted your
eyes and then it had.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I just got all these holes in this polplice that
I had. My mom threw it out. She's like, I
can't look at that as a daily reminder of abandoning
her child. But you survived on you know the character
it built in me. Yeah, I fear no firework.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, well, that's the same as me. Some of my
best memories have been getting blasted by a rogue work.
And there's something I mean, I've told the story of
a million times when my family and I one firework.
The thing that was holding it the jar that was
holding it tipped over, and then a twenty shot pursued
it on shot three, so they're seventeen to go.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I was counting. I was like one, two, and then
it tapped over.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
It was like, oh three, Oh Jesus Christ, and pointed
straight at our family on the deck, who were there,
all ready to go and huddle.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Kids, turn your eyes, turn your.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Back, and it just started blasting.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Did you guys form a wells phalanx?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We did do it, four of us, and I've got
my arms around the kids and We're all looking up.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
We're pinned against the house. We couldn't get away.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
You're an adult in the situation.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I'm the adult.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Toy is here as well, and we're just getting blasted
and the kids are getting blasted, and it was like,
oh out, I'm taking it in the back. Tolsey took
a couple, the kids took a couple and it just
kept going and it was comedy how many and it it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Felt like it felt like it was going to go
on forever.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Wins it over.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And then it finished, and man, I felt like the exhilaration.
It was so great.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, it survived.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was like war. I was like, Oh, this is
what it feels like I go to war.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I get it now. Imagine you're on myth. You know
what I mean. I'm listening to a podcast at the moment.
It's an interview with the guy who wrote a book
about the the Nazis being on myth.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Oh is it called Blitzed this Norman Oler?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yes, it's an interview with him. I can't read, so
otherwise I'd love to read that book. But he's like,
picture you and four other mates. So there's five years
you get fucking blitz on myth and then climb into
a Panzer tank and roll out over the front lines.
Can you imagine how intense that must be?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Man, and I think that the closest you'd get to
that is taking seventeen shots from a twenty shot while
trying to protect your family.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, it's the closest thing in modern times. But we
emerged from it unscathed, victorious, and and we united as
a family, and we still talk about it to this day.
I remember when that work went rogue on us. Every
guy fawks that comes up, so they are I reckon that.
No one sells though anything to put fireworks in.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
So I think they do now. So you know when
you buy those like family packs from the warehouse or wherever. Yeah,
they some of them come with this like plastic. Again,
it looks like a rugby team, but it's big and
it'll fit each of the things in it. Oh have
you ever seen those nhh, yeah, I think I think
they come with those now.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Oh that's so good.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
That's what they needed to develop that for the longest time.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Square hole, round hole, blah blah, and they all fit.
They correlate to whatever's in the thing. But I haven't
five weeks in a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Because I've gone nowadays with a with a sand bucket.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
So I go with a metal a metal bucket.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That you normally use for the ashes out of a fire,
and then I just put sand in that and and
plunk the works into that and then they spray out everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
When I was a kid, we used to go out
to there's like a causeway on the way out to
Sumner and christ Church and my dad at the time
had a truck. He ran like a career business with
your father at that time, my father at that time,
So he then you got a new father letter on
h No, I just been to him, right, my father
(06:37):
at the time, I've already started calling my missus my
girlfriend at the time. I'm talking about like a story
from a week.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Ago, the next missus x sture.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, yeah, the next ex missus my future first wife. Anyway,
So yeah, my dad at the zime, I'm still my dad.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Now.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
He had this truck and it was big enough that
you could put a couch in the back of it,
and we would drive out to yeah, this little causeway
that where you could have got this amazing view, and
the big families parked all the way along this road
and we were just on a couch in the back
of the thing. I presume he was having a couple
of beers. I don't remember. But that's the way to
(07:16):
do it, I think, because there's no clean up. Your
family's not going to get lit up. You don't have
to buy anything, you don't have to do anything. Just
go and watch and they're way better than whatever you're
going to buy.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, they're not cheap, man, They're not cheap anymore. Not
all works created equal. I mean, there's some beauties out there,
some bad boys are generally quite good.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We went to we went to just one of the
big shows a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
With Jason, Mike and Key.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It was me, Keys and Pugs was in the background
as they were just carrying at the corner. Now we
went to it was in Kumeu and it was amazing.
It was one of those things where you go this,
I'm never going to get anything this good at home. Yeah, yeah,
I'm as well come and have a look at this.
And it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, it's a different Thingure No videos of fireworks are
they the worst thing? You will never look at it again.
But I reckon it's a different thing. I reckon your
public display is different because there's no there's no jeopardy involved.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
The fear, although I was.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I was once on the paperwork and Queenstown for the
opening of the Queenstown Window Festival and the wind and
it was that they had a barge out on the
lake like orp and the wind changed direction midway through
the fireworks display and it started raining, buts of debris
(08:41):
from the from the fireworks. Good Ship and Paul went out,
run for your lives and people just started panicking, Rubby
your life.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
We're under attack. Rubb your lives. And people took that
heated that warning, and they took off their lives.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Should we take quick break and come back?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
What's this filky little chune?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
It's regurgitated, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
It sounds like some shit a frog would listen to.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Poly I found it after your story about Yes, yeah girl,
topical chune? Why do we play that on Radiohote.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Well, if we're looking to increase our listenership among the
amphibious community, there's well untapped market.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Man.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I don't know if anyone's going for frogs or salamander's
at the moment.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I listened to a thing the other day in the
history of lungs, I bet you've not thought about that.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Where the lungs come from? Why have we got lungs? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Do you know?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Okay, well maybe this is a question. So apparently the
reason insects are only as big as they are, they
can only get to a certain size, you know, the
size of a fucking tarantula or a wet is because
of their ability to process oxygen. Their lungs are strong
enough for them to be any bigger. But back in
the day when there was more oxygen in atmosphere, that's
when we had fucking cockroaches and size of labradors.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
This is they talked about this in the history of lungs.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Do you know that they don't even so they absorb
oxygen through their scars.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
They don't even have lungs.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do they have skin that? Yeah, well they just absorb
oxygen as as an insect. And do you know that
we absorb oxygen through our skin?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
We do. Yeah, this podcast just become us talking about
more interesting podcasts.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That's like when they used to paint people for movies
and things like that, and didn't someone die because they
painted them completely gold?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Well you can't, Yes, you can't.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
This is the thing.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You can't cut completely, paint over it and your skin.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Pause. Well, I was listening to a more interesting podcast
than this one, and it was actually they had these girls.
I forget what they were calling them, but you know
back in the day when they made every they were
making everything glow in the dark, just.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Like I've got a picture of us, and what happened
to Keysy's face? What have they done to Keysy's face
in that picture?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
They aged him.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Up bigger, and it's like the giraffe.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's like, what are they done to his face? He
doesn't the giraffe is nick. He's not there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
He doesn't look like that they've removed. They've removed toward
Jay's nick and given Keys him about three times his nick.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
And then put him over Jerry's shoulder. And so the
bottom row is me, Jerry, and Keyzy as if that's
the Breakfast show. And then the back row is Jason
Minogue and Lee Hart who's also not on that show.
And it's so weird and Pribs missing so good stuff.
(11:41):
That doesn't look like they've kesied him up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Something about black and white as well? Doesn't he look
like us?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I was just looking right at you and I and
then that just flashed up, and that's why I started laughing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You look good in black and white. It doesn't matter,
but not good for me.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
It doesn't matter if it's black or white anyway. So
they had these girls back in the day that would
paint watches. They would paint you remember you to be
able to get a glow in the dark watch. But
the stuff they were using was radioactive, which is why
it glowed in the dark. And these girls were like,
you know, they're painting these things all day. I'll get
around to the reason. I keep pointing out their gender
(12:19):
and you know, on a Friday, they're about knock off,
they're about to go get on the purse. They're like,
should paint our nails? And so we got glow in
the dark nails. But yeah, and then they're like, should
paint our lips? And we go to the party and
we'll have glow the dark lips.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
How long ago is this about.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
I'm saying the fifties they all died. Oh no, they're
painting the lips with the radioactive yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Oh no.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, So with you.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
The reason I was coming around the history of lungs
with frogs is because you know how frogs go with
the and they go down. That's that's how they reckon
that we started doing.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Withung Oh with big nick sack thing big.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
That's exactly because it's essentially it is the sacks. Lungs
are made up it it's a little sacks.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And then they went internal.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So originally the big gulp was actually forcing the air
down into you.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
And the weirdest part.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
About the whole lung thing, So it was four hundred
million years ago is when we developed lungs. So we
started and we're huge evolutionary advantage when we started exiting
out of out of water, and there was more oxygen
out there, so we were already kind of battling with that.
But then it turns out that you could generate more
energy from the oxygen down with girls than with girls. Yeah, right,
(13:41):
and so there's a mass advantage there. But also who
would have thought that the main thing is the expulsion
of the carbon dioxide. So it's actually about how quickly
you can expel the carbon dioxide to how quickly you
can create energy. So obviously, when you breathe in the
oxygen and it goes it then gets through the lungs,
(14:02):
it gets circulated into your blood, and then that's pumped
around your system to your muscles, what it's here, to
your tissue, and then that oxygen promotes growth and tissue.
It helps the tissue work. Unfortunately, carbon dioxide, which is
what happens once it's been used as the opposite for tissue,
so that kills tissue and so you've got to get
(14:24):
that crap out. So the reason when you're puffing and
you're running, it's not because you need more oxygen. It's
actually because you need to get rid of more carbon dioxide.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Otherwise you'll didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I've always thought it's a massive inefficiency in the human
respiratory system that we breathe out the same hole we
breathe in. Wouldn't it be great if we had like
nostrils on the back of our head and so it
was just constantly coming through, you know what I mean?
Why do we have to stop breathing in to breathe
out again? And we had a different hole somewhere else
maybe as well.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I think that's got to do with the fact we
came out of the water, I.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Know, but like I don't know, if I was updating
the human body, that'd be one of my first ports
of call. You'd breathe out a different hole than you
breathe in. You also wouldn't eat through the same hole.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I think the multi hole thing's quite efficient.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
And then the other one would be eyelashes that don't
fall into your eye because no one really pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I had a bicycle accident as a kid because I
got eye lashes in my arm on the Cambridge High
Level bridge.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Because if you look at me and don't because you're
fall in love, but I have long, luscious eye lashes,
you do. Women always comment on them. I wish I
had your eyelashes. I wish you had to.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
You men, just this, just this, me wish they had them.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, well they can have them. Remember this time last year,
I bought these glasses. Bought these flash glasses with the
lenses went reverse, so instead of being con cave, they
were convexed such that they angled back towards you. And
I had to I had to return them because my
eyelashes are so long. Turns out your eyelashes are dirty.
Their job is to stop doing it from getting into
(15:56):
your eyes, so when they flicker against your glasses, they
just smudge the fuck out of it the point where
you can't see anything. And I had to return these
glasses because I could they my long, luscious eyelashes were
flickering against them. And speaking of I had a cup.
I didn't think anyone a fuck about this. You probably don't.
I'm glad we've lifted. At the end of the podcast,
I talked about buying those glasses the other day. If
(16:19):
they good enough for acet Rockie, they're good enough for Jerry,
and I mentioned that I had been looking at these
for a while, and actually in July when I went
over to Brazil. I was looking at them. I was like,
that's cool, want to buy them. My message goes, you
look stupid, don't buy them, and so I didn't. Then
you bought them South Congress in Austin, Texas, and I
was like, you bass it. I've wanted these for the
longest time. And that afternoon I tried them on and
(16:42):
everyone's sitting around the pole blind drunk, was like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
You look good, you should buy them.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Went back the next day. They wouldn't sell them to me.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
They'd passed me off. No, they don't look good enough
on you.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Then my messes came over and we had another argument
in a ray Ben shop in Nashville. Said you're not
buying them, and then I said, you know what, We're
gonna fucking stand for myself.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, mate, before or after the engagement after.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
There we go, Yeah, what are going to do? We're
going to You're going to end it over? Yeah, you're
going to end it.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
You like all the likes coming through on Instagram, Now
you want to shut it down fifty short of a thousand.
By the way, if you can go and like that, please,
that would make a word of difference to her. And
so when we went down to well with fucking not
bought them at the airport and I came back and
she's backed this up into a corner. Now she's she
can't you know, in a relationship or any even with
(17:34):
your mates. Once you've made a strong statement like that,
she's never going to be able to relent and say
that she likes them. She's backed this up into a corner.
Toot too strong a statement, and that's full victim to
this quite often anyway. So she goes, I just want
to look like Jerry do Is that what you're.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Man, you heap so cheering.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I was like you, we tried these on months ago
and you said no, and then yeah, I know. She's like,
I just got to look like you. But so I
good news this morning. I've found out you last year, I've.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Lost mine, lost them. Oh, I've mislaid them. I don't
know where they are. It's really annoying me.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
That's what sucks about glasses, man. He a splash out
on a pair of glasses. The chances you lose to
go through the roof. You buy a pair of twenty
dollars supermarket shitters, you'll never lose them.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I've just retired my other ones too, because I've I
retire my glasses because before they lost, I retire them,
get a new peer. Always try and get a new
peer every year. Yeah that's just I'm old and extravagant.
But so this year my new peer. Now they've lost,
I've had to pull something out of retirement. The other
problem is that I've got I'm blind, so these things.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, you're going to start go glasses. You're going to
start running into the Heath issue where if you lose
your prescription glasses, you're gonna have to start wearing your
prescription sunglasses. And you'll see Heath sitting inside with the
sunglasses on if you see them, and that just know
he's lost his glasses.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And everyone thinks that you think you're pretty cool to read.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah, so anyway, I've got the glasses, You got the
yoppers glasses with yourpers.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Just in the podcast in the next couple of days,
because we're going to wrap it up. I've just realized,
growing up in the roaderhousehold, we didn't even have fireworks,
and I only just thought about it.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Now, let's discuss this tomorrow. One of the Frogs classic
