Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hidarchy Breakfast show. Bunning's Trade is raising funds this

(00:02):
November to support men's health.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's shut up, mom, come.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Jermy A.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Welcome along to the high Achie Breakfast Thursday, the twentieth
of November.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I believe it is good morning, Jimmy. Can you hear
me from down the line? Jerry can't hear me, okay,
so welcome into the show. What's happening here is Jerry's
down in Christich, I'm up in Auckland, and we cannot
hear each other. We can see each other through the
magic of through the magic of zoom, but can't hear

(00:56):
each other. And if you could give us a call
one hundred hardarky, tell us which one of us you
can hear, then that'll be grateful. I reckon, God, damn it,
I can hear Ruder.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
I reckon, I reckon. The listener can hear us, and
they can hear Jerry. Jerry can't hear us, but we
can hear you.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Great.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
What do you reckon? Chuck on purple rain while we
figure out these technical delays.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
All right, let's just go with this one instead.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm sure this will.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
Be long enough Jerry and Mania, the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I'm down here in christ Church and you've got to
say arrived yesterday after normaniah yes, boy oh boy, christ
Church this time year. Not only is it leafy and
green and beautiful and warm, but the CBD and crushing.
I know people crap on about this, but until you
come down and experience it, the CBD and cross it,

(01:50):
it's definitely like Auckland CBD sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yep, absolutely sucks. It seems to be a great place
to be unhoused.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
That's great if you're is it great if you're on
how it's just it just seems to be a great well.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
It seems to attract them. But you're right, it is
the Aukland CEVd. The Wellington CBD is down there the
other day. It's a bit of a ghost town to
be honest. Yeah. The Dunedin CBD.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Is kind of all right, yeah, nothing really to write
home about. But the Kroshitch CBD. Man, I walked down
out of my hotel. I staying at the Crown Plaza
and which is right in the middle, just by the
Convention Center, right in the middle of Crosstach and apart
from that horrific situation that's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
With the cathedral, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Like there's so many restaurants and there's people wandering around
and oh man, it's really good.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I've been saying this for a while now. Christ It's
taken a minute, but christ Chitch is now more Wellington
than Wellington is if you know what I mean. Like,
it's got the cool bars, it's got the cool you
can have an awesome night out in christ Chitch and
once that stadium gets up and running, we'll be away
and laughing. I mean, we need to get the hole
in the oppers in and around the stadium.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I reckon, man, I totally was. I was casing sites
for the hog.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
In yoppers yesterday wandering around. Someone's reached out with the
venue near car That's like, could we put the hog
and yoppers in here?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, that's the thing I could see to Kaha, So
where I was. I went and had a burger and
then had had a beer at this market thing.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
I don't know what it was called something cool Riverside market.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Raverside Market, that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
And there's all these little leteries and.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
They're not big, they're just nice and small, so they're
kind of like ekatory bars. Actually they're small enough that
you get about ten people around like a bar, and
there's a vibe. And there were people kind of just
hanging out there by themselves, and there were heaps of
these little eateries and it was all down little lanes
and hegeldy pegglety.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It was very cool.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
And then I walked out and I looked down the
road and there's the bloody stadiums just right there, A
five minute walk maybe at the most.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I was like, oh man, I mean, obviously they
were given a slate to design a new city, a
modern city from scratched. I feel like it took way
too long. You know. Japan had a similar situation in
twenty eleven and then like a week later they were
back up on their feet. It's taken us about fifteen years,
which is why I feel like, I don't know, do
we need that cathedral. There's a whole generation of people
in Christis they have no memory of that cathedral being alive,

(04:20):
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh man, one hundred I think I read the other
one hundred and sixty million or something so far, just
to stop it from falling down. I mean, that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I get it. I totally understand this.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
People who we grew up in Christich and that was
the Senate and they obviously in terms of the Anglican Church,
which is a crucial part of the setup of christis
all that.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Stuff one hundred years ago? Yes, But like I get it,
I grew up in crostiach, I don't really, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, well, the thing is to rebuild it. They want to, like,
we will rebuild it stone by stone. It will be
exactly why you just make it with a modern bit
coming off it and what a look like? It kind
of does look kind of cool the way it is.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well, couldn't you stitch a couple of gottages onto it
with a skylight or something? You know what I mean?
Cost billions of dollars, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Something kind of interesting, like the louver is quite interesting
in Paris where it's got that weird glassy thing on
the side of it.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Smack a bit of glass on that sucker.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I think she could have. But but hats off, hats off.
I don't know who the I guess it was a
group of individuals, but whoever came up with the actual
design of like, Okay, this building is going to go here,
This is going to be a precent that's going to
go down towards the river. This is gonna be with
the stadium, like whoever did all that?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Man?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
They did at and then evenside and the way that
you can go along the river all the way out
to the beach. It's like, it's really good. That's sort
they've had a second crack, you know, if they've had
the ability to have a second crack at something and go,
you know where was it not very good last time?
And they go, we're going to iron out all these
problems and they genuinely have.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, impressive it is. That's how it feels now. But
this has been a long and drawn out process, a
lot of texts coming through. I've just managed to get
the text line up this morning. I can't hear you
guys at all. Can't hear you guys at all? Can
hear Jerry? First class radio? Here? Helmets? What is this? John?
And beIN on the HTS. Well, funnily enough, you're quite
close to that because our studio is getting renovated and
Jerry's on the road. So Jerry is down in christ Church.

(06:09):
I am actually in Johonoan Bin. They've got two studios
and I am in the second one. So Jerry's down
the line and to try and log into the christ
Church office because I do have a login. We used
mine and he logged in, only to find out that
I have been set up for the profile for Flavor.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I know why they have profiled your profile profile.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
This happens to me all the time. Yeah, my nice
brown flavor beauty. Ah yeah, anyway, we're we're on here now.
We actually did take the entire station off here before.
Oh okay, I think that was my fault to be fair, Sorry, no, no,
it was definitely your fault. This is the Hardechy Breakfast.

(06:59):
Nice to have you with us this morning, wherever you are.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Jerry and Mania the Holdichy Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
That's achy breakfast at sixteen minutes past six. A little
few remote teething problems going on this morning. Everyone's in
different studios. I'm in a different studio, MANI you and
Ruta in a different studio.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yes, And then confusingly, when you call into the show,
you will be dealing with Zoe who's in Studio B,
but she's actually in our actual studio B. This is
the future. This is the dystopian future that they warned
us about.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Speaking of which, the history of yesterday, today, tomorrow, tem
no roll.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Today is the twentieth of November twenty twenty five, and
on this day in nineteen thirty seven, parachuting Santa crashes
in Auckland. George Sellers narrowly escaped serious injury when he
was able to swing his parachute away from the glass
roof of the winter gardens during the Farmer's Christmas Parade
in Auckland. The plan was he was gonna hop off
and then land on the Auckland Domain, the outer Auckland Domain,

(08:02):
disguised to center and distribute toys to waiting children. The
plane he parachuted from was flying just three hundred meters
above the domain. Jeez, that's a low What do they
call that in the army? That halo the plane had parachuted, Yeah,
three hundred meters, low enough for spectators below to see
him standing on the wing waiting to jump. Why he
was on the wing, Yeah, it was on the wing.

(08:23):
He was only a few seconds from smashing into the
garden's roof when he was able to alter the parachute's trajectory.
He fell heavily into a garden patch between two hothouses,
almost heading two gardeners. As he watched Seller's head off
course towards the gardens. The manager of the Farmer's Trading Company,
Robert Laidlaw, thought, I'm going to be the first man
to kill Sander. Sealers managed to limp to a shelter

(08:44):
and adjustice Beard before bravely returning to help distribute the gifts.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh well, a good finish there from him.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
But yeah, you got it.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Also, you don't want to be landing on that glass root.
Of all the places you can land in the there
was only one glass roof and a very small building
at the window gardens and.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
The rest of its fields.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, I mean that's a terrible piece of that. But also,
don't drop out of I think nineteen thirty seven. I
mean they hadn't learned these lessons, but planes had only
been flying for what thirty is?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, three hundred meters feels too low, but I don't know.
I've never skydived. Nineteen ninety five Princess Diana's explosive BBC
Panorama interviews. She spoke openly about her marriage breakdown, mental
health struggles and her future role. She didn't see herself
as future queen while she wasn't going to be, but
hope for a symbolic role helping others. She confirmed for
the first time that she had an extramarital relationship with

(09:33):
James Hewitt, a former British Army officer.

Speaker 7 (09:36):
Did your relationship with James Hewitt go beyond a close friendship?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (09:41):
It did?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Were you unfaithful?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yess?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I told him yes, I was alone with him.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
But were you unfaithful? It became one of the most
watched and most shocking royal interviews in history. Top three
Top three shocking interview Royal interviews.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Well, I think the other one that's up there, you'd say,
would be Prince Andrew no longer just Andrew now Andrew
mount Beatton Windsor with the Sweatings allegations.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yes, twenty three million UK viewers watch that as a
third of the population. Diana also talked about her husband
Choles long running relationship with Camilla Parker Bowls, delivering this
famous line, do.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
You think missus Parker Bowles was a factor in the
breakdown of your marriage?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so
It was a bit crowded Gary Line, wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
But twenty three million people in the UK out of
sixty yeah, or just under sixty in those days.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
What were the other people doing? Well, they are working.
I presume they were sitting in the lounge with the
twenty three million people that were They just couldn't pack
them up. Yeah, register the TV owners, some of them.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Were driving in a car. I guess some of them
were cooking dinner.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah. I kind of feel like I've always thought that
the Kardashians are just sorry, the Royal families just Kardashians
for old people. Yeah, so who care? Is it's just
scandal and drama? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well that was a bag that was big though in
those days nineteen ninety five Geez Royals didn't admit to
anything in those days.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's like Kim and Kanye are breaking up. Basically. In
twenty twenty four, the tallest and shortest woman in the
world meet the world's tallest world's tallest woman, Mesa Galghi.
So you say that seven feet tall from Turkey meets
the world's shortest woman Jiotti Amgi at two feet tall
from India at the Savoy Hotel in London. It was

(11:28):
to celebrate Guinness World Records Day.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
It was a great day that it was such a
good day when the tallest and shortest woman.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Met yep, I remember it. Well. I'm gonna be honest.
If you're standing there at seven feet tall and you've
met a two foot tall woman, what's your first instinct?
Because my first instinct there's top right corner, hard as
I can killing around the goalkeeper.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Why did they humiliate poor Jodi Amag I don't know
that this was the shortest person on board with that
look they got paid.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
The Guinness World Records are in the business of humiliating people,
so this is their Christmas born on this day. Sleepy
Joe Biden, forty sixth President of the United States. He's
eighty three today.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
And now I want to hand it over to the
President of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he
has determination. Ladies and gentlemen, President putin President's nscale. I'm
sure focus on being putin anyway.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
You are a hell.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Oh yeah, man, they know that guy was way too
old to be president.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
The people keeping him in power, they are evil keeping
him alive. Oh no, man, there was Oh that's an
old guy.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
He's eighty three day, what was he eighty one or
something like that. At least the poor guy alone. He
shouldn't be having to run the United States. There's too
much to deal with that age.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
And another Jojoe Walsh, guitarist, member of the Eagles. He
is seventy eight today and you probably wouldn't vote for
him for president of your country. They share a birthday
with actor Jason more Moore from films like Aquaman and
a Minecraft movie. Chances are you've seen him in the

(13:12):
last couple of months. I feel like every in New
Zealand has born in Hawaii. Here's forty six today.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Has he got back to Hailey Sprout yet? On social media?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Though? That is the question.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh, I don't know. I just she DMed him last night.
I want to know whether or not he got back
to her. I reckon hanging out to find that out.
Today I'm packing. He probably doesn't see his dms, but
she's just around the corner.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I can go and ask her. You should from the
studio I'm in today. And that is the history of yesterday, today, tomorrow, tomorrow.
For Thursday, the twentieth of November twenty five, Jerry.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
In the night, the Holdarkey, Breakfast Time You Later, sport
headlines thanks to export Ultra the beer for here. A
groin injury meant Daryl Mitchell missed the black Caps five
book at victory and the second One day cricket internationally
against the West End.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
He's in napes, but.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
He's been crowned the world's best batter and the format regardless.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, he's been O he's been our best player of
the summer. I would say, to be fair, he's been.
Every time he comes to the crease, it's like, Okay,
thank god, there's an adult out there. He's going to
handle this, you know what I mean. We need a
whoever's been touring around here lately has been tearing through us,
like Joff Archer or you know, one of those bottlers
comes through and we're like, oh god, what are we

(14:22):
gonna do about this? Then Darren Mitchell comes out there
and I breathe a sigh of relief. I'm like, oh,
thank god, man. He sweats like he knows the fate
of the nation is on his shoulders, and it is.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, well, there's nothing to capture any sweat. I mean,
that's the thing. It's just dropping straight off the top
of the dome.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I know. And then they hit you with the gratuitous
slow mo shots of him pressing his helmet into his
head and the just the sweat pouring out of it.
When he scored that tone the other day and he's
celebrated with the groin injury. I reckon they should they
should frame that and put that in the hallway the
Mitchell family.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, now, there's nothing better than a scoring one hundred
win injured.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's impressive.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
I see that he is the first New Zealand male
to achieve the mark of best Better and one day
cricket since Glenn Turner in nineteen seventy nine. Wow, who
would have thought Glinton. So they've gone back and they've decided.
So that's retrospective. So they've gone back and they've decided
because they didn't obviously have all sorts of rankings. Yeah,
and they've.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Decided who was the best PET nine But just on
the numbers. I don't think he can do that because
vibe is a big part of these awards. I think,
you know what I mean, Like some guy might not
have the best stats, but you can feel that he
was definitely the best better.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
They ran all five thousand ever odios through a spreadsheet
and through a database and Glint Turner ninety seventy nine
is the answer.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I know, but there's no metric for vibe. That's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, that's fair enough, Like sure, that's good.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
But nineteen seventy nine, seriously, in New Zealand played like
two one day games or something. We hardly played one
day cricket's right. I think he was named that because
he used to chip over the infield and that was
like wow, wow, nobody had ever heard of hitting the
ball in the air in those days.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
No, and like planning where the ball is going to go,
I'm just desperately try and get the ball bat to it.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Angland have named past bowlers Joffer and Mark Wood in
their twelve man squad for the opening ashes fixedure against
Australia at pers starting tomorrow. The Beer have never played
together at test Leable. Oh that's exciting for England.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, that's two dudes who can get up to about
one fifth. Isn't it really whether they well or not?
I mean Jeff Raucher was sort of in the low
one forties, so I mean sound the punishing cricket chattel arm.
But I'm pretty excited for this. I'm far more excited
for this than our own Test series against the West Indies.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, well it's the Ashes. It's massive. Yeah, it's massive,
and they ramp up the media coverage and everyone starts
to get pretty nervous.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
It means something, Yeah, and the Ashes means something. The
other part of it is that, like at that Indian
series last year in Australia, the production value is so
good that it makes you think, man, these teams must
be so much better than the Black Apps. And then
they come over here and we beat them, or we
go over to India and we beat them and it's like,
oh no, they've just got flash cameras. They're actually not
They're not better than us.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
So to some of the least surprising news in the
history of professional tennis, twenty time Grand Slam winner Roger
Federer will be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame
next August. Well he hasn't been already. Yeah that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yep. Well, okay, another news. Water's wet Sky's blow grass green.
But it's expensive. But it is expensive. Well, let's talk
about that.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yeah, because you've got some information which is really good
to upset.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh yeah, look, if you wanted to get upset this morning,
stick around. I'm going to pass you off.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Next Jerry and Mian Night the Hotarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
You're saying that you've got some shocking news that's really
going to upset some people at six thirty seven.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
That's Friday morning, yep. And you know, if you're looking
for outage, a lot of people do turn to the
media for outrage. While you found it, I I've stumbled
upon a headline actually I came across at last night
nine didn't sleep a wonk. Butter prices. Butter prices which
are dominating the media discourse at the moment in New Zealand.

(18:07):
Butter prices because we make all the butter, So why
was it so bloody expensive? Butter prices slump twenty six
percent on global market, but supermarket costs here in New
Zealand have stayed exactly the same. I don't say they
have fallen by more than a quarter on the Global
Dairy Trade Auction platform since May, but retail prices have
stayed exactly the same. This morning's Global Dairy Trade Auction

(18:30):
showed butter prices fell seven point six percent I think
over the last week, and twenty six percent since May. However,
retail prices have changed just ten percent. So stats n
Z says, the price of a standard five hundred grand
block of butter peaked in June eight dollars sixty. Since
then we've had some relief. It's come back to eight

(18:52):
dollars fifty in October. Now, compare that with April last year.
Do you want to guess what a block of butter
was in April last Year's eight fifty right now? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Okay, April last year, I remember this, it was like
it was seven I mean it was heaps.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
It was like seven dollars twenty or it was it
was six fifty.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
No, can I guess? Rude it five twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Ruda's closer four forty nine was the average four forty
nine in April last year. In January twenty fifteen, which
we are going back about ten years now, but January
twenty fifteen, it was two dollars ninety seven for a
block of butter. And in two thousand and seven, in July,
for my birthday in two thousand and seven, I bought
myself a block of butter instead of a Lincoln Park CD,

(19:39):
I would have only paid a dollar ninety eight.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Man, you would have made some serious money on that
block of butt if you put it in the freezer
under cryogenic conditions and then held on to that like
one special freezer, you could have made millions.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
That's right. If you got a new will this morning,
five hundred grand pack of anchor butter will set you
back eleven dollars nineteen. Oh what unless you get a
cope on then eight dollars ninety nine. Walli's you go
nine ninety nine and at pack and say you go
nine dollars sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Okay, So what if Fontira said, like, how are they
explaining this?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Then how are they explaining.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
The fact that it's come down by what twenty seven
percent globally and somehow? Because that was how they were
definitely explaining the increase was that it was And I
get that right. If you're producing butter, yeah, why would
you Why would you not sell it for the amount
that you could sell it for, like if you can
sell it overseas for heaps, why would you all of
a sudden turn around and go, you know what, I'm
a good guy and I've decided to sell it for

(20:33):
way less in New Zealand, just to make a little
bit cheap and less profit.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense when I think we need
to go back to it. Well, you remember back in
the well, I don't remember it, but back in the day,
there were farms that would supply the local town. So
they would just create whatever their product was, milk, butter, whatever,
and it would just it would just be supplied to
the local town. I reckon, we need to go back
to that. We commissioned one one of the local dairy

(20:57):
farms in each town and they all their butter, all
the milk goes straight to that town.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
M Yeah, well you would have to subsidize it. This
is but I'd like to know why it's not gone down.
There must be a there must be a reason.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
We need some sort of bloody economist or you know,
someone who can come on and explain it to us
that this morning. Can we do we try and for
anyone who's who understands how this works and wants to
give us a call, or if you're a cow perhaps.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
I totally understand why it goes up. Like as I
said before, I totally understand if if the global.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Dairy price is high.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
You can sell it for that Herefore, like we can't
have a different market in New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I get that.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I totally get that. But if it's lower overseas, Yeah,
why is our still going up?

Speaker 1 (21:46):
It's because prices never go down, you know what I mean?
Like once once the prices go up, and we only
got two supermarket companies in this country. So once the
prices go up, when they come back down, those two
supermarkets look at each other and go, you're gonna put
yours down? None of you don't.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
Jerry and Mania the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Have you got some texts that have come in around
the Buttermania?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yes, that's right if you're just joining us, Jerry down
the line in christ Church, I'm in Jonathan Ben's b studio.
That's right. They've got multiple studios. Yeah, it's the Batch.
How funny you say that, because from here I literally
can see a boat and the water down at the
Harbor Divide.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
That's the studio they go to when they want to
go on a holiday. They've got a special Batch studio.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, it's just a it's a nicer climate here. It
agrees with the bones, don't ache when they come down
here beside the sea. Anya, Yeah, we're talking about butter.
So I saw a story. I mean butter outrageous, Miniki.
Butter prices have fallen twenty six percent a ton since
peaking in May. That's that's globally, despite the fact that
here in New Zealand they haven't changed almost at all.

(22:54):
And we were like, well, what's the point of that.
Someone's texted in on a great point when the hydrol
low we get warned about our power price is going up.
The lakes are currently so full less spelling. But if
the prices come down, No, this is the thing. Once
the company is able to charge a certain price for it,
they're not likely to bring that price back down again.

(23:16):
Remember when remember when we did something around like banning
caged eggs or something like that, and then there was
an egg shortage. The prices went through the roof and
they were like, look what there's going to be a
little you know, feeling out process. Then eventually they'll come
back to normal. Did they know? So this is and
this is any any business, but someone else, Jeff who's

(23:37):
taxed them from I'm going to take his word for this,
because Modo no a think or two about butter. It's
the price on that day. So the price of milk
at the supermarket is based loosely on the cost of
the cost of processes and the supermarket. They've still got
the expense of butter on the shelf that they've made
in the past, so they need to sell that through
before the new prices are reflected, is what he is.

(23:58):
What he's saying there? That right?

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Okay, so about that stage the price would have gone
back up again. And when was that bloody butter made?
That's a really good that's a really good question. Was
that butter made like six months ago?

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Wasn'tthing again? I don't know, we're far too unqualified to
discuss it, but yeah, And then someone else sent through
a link to a Fontier article about what's driving prices up.
They're saying, basicly, it's the it's the global price. And
like you were saying, Jerry, if you make a product
and you can sell it for more overseas well, you're
probably going to do that, aren't you. Yeah, fair enough,

(24:32):
And so then if you want to buy that same
product here in New Zealand, you've got to pay the
overseas prices for it. Yeah. What's confusing, though, is when
the overseas prices come down now that yeah, no, that
that but doesn't make sense. And if you just joined
us I was saying before that in about two thousand
and seven, you could buy a block of butter for
about a dollar ninety eight, and then Rudy, you were saying,

(24:53):
you've done the math on what that would be if
it just kept up with inflation.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Yeah, so at the moment, that block of butter is
what eight dollars fifty.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Something like that minight on average.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yet if it just went up at the same rate
as inflation, that dollar only eight would be three dollars
a nine instead of eight dollars fifteen, right, So.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, the other part that doesn't make sense is why
does oliviano follow the butter price? So like Oliviano is
also way more expensive than it used to be, And
that's not there's nothing to do with butter that's played
of plastic.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Isn't that just like recycled polar flezzards? That's ridiculous. I
remember watching the price shoot up in two thousand and seven.
Used to buy a cheese gone every time I played
golf on the weekend and the price just went up
and up and up. Yeah, no, signs are slow.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
One. There's so many things that are made with butter,
that's the thing. And you look at all the stuff
in cafes now incredibly expensive. God help us now we're
going to survive.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Someone else said Fontier have to pay the executive Christmas bonuses.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Jerry and Midnight the hold Ikey breakfast, Jury and Midnight
they breakfast.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
We were talking the other day about washing your hands,
and it's emerged. I just assumed everybody the ideal that
everybody's looking for is warm water when they wash their hands. Yeah,
and it emerged them min sure. It's a freak when
it comes to this.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Jeez, geez, you're trying. You're trying to be vulnerable or
someone I misses into the group chat the other day
after washing my hands and I said, does anyone wash
their hands in warm water? I feel like cold is
the feeling of clean. And then I found out no,
I'm the only one who's got the gumption in the
backbone to stand up to cold water. And and that

(26:37):
you guys with your soft hands like the lukewarm the
lukewarm water. I was like, am I am I way
off on this. Am I the only person who washes
their hands in cold water?

Speaker 3 (26:50):
So if you have the option, because I mean, sometimes
you don't have the option, right, sometimes it's just cold,
or sometimes you can't be bothered waiting for the warm,
yeah it so if you have the op I will
always go with the warm option if it's there. I'm
not like obsessed with washing my hands with hands with
warm water, but if it's there, I will definitely take
It's nice, just not not hot hot. I definitely don't

(27:12):
want hot, hot not on my hands, but something that's
kind of you know, I'm thinking twenty seven degrees.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I just I don't know the temperatures of water, but
I just I feel like my hands feel cleaner if
I've washed them in cold water, you know what I mean,
Because your hands never feel dirtier than when they're like,
you know, when you're a bit clammy and you've got
you know, maybe they're sweaty, you might have something on them.
It's always warm, So to me, having cold water on

(27:41):
my hands makes them feel cleaner, fresher. You know, when
you think of clean, fresh things, you think cold. Yeah,
I know that warm water probably cleans things a bit better,
Like you wouldn't wash your dishes in cold water.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Well, I wonder about that because actually oftentimes it's the
it's either very cold or very hot, as the way
to get rid of you know what bacteria live is
twenty seven degrees Like that's the perfect time for Bacteria's
the perfect breeding ground way that they can multiply. Whereas
if it's real hot, then you'll kill them. And if
it's real cold then they don't like that either.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
But you're not washing your hands and water that's so
hot it's going to kill bacteria, you know.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
No, No, Well that's the thing. Oh that reminds me.
I was talking to someone the other day, and this
is a person who I've known for quite a long time,
and they revealed that they were essentially a germophobe and
they were sort of running through the different thoughts that
they have every day around gyms, and man, I just

(28:44):
like I realized how intense it is for people who
are worried about germs all the time.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yes, this person was saying that they can't they never
touch a.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Door handle no matter what.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
And I've never seen them do weird things like, you know,
walk up to a door handle with a tissue or
anything like that. But they were just never touch a
door handle. They they don't like shaking hands. And if
they do shake hands with someone, then they immediately don't
touch anything with that hand, and they don't immediately go
to the bathroom, but they will go and wash their
hands straight away from that.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
And this person said that they could feel I'm using
the the plural. You might notice it's not to not
to out them, but then they they can actually feel
the germs on their hand. They can't when when.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
But so okay. But so that person that can feel
germs at all times, what do they wash their hands with?
They go warm or they go cold? They go cold? Yeah,
see the German agree with me. They go cold, which
I thought was quite interesting.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
That the strangest part though about the that I found
out about the germophobe, and maybe there's other people that
are that are in this boat as well, is that
when their kids come home from school, they feel like
over their clothes they've packed up lots of germs.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
From this, there's no way to live, you life from
the skull. And the other one is keep cups.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
They don't like people baristas like using keep other people
using keep cups because they feel like the germ gets
passed from the keep cup to the barista, and then
the barista touches the keep caup, and then the barista
then makes their coffee and then hands it back to them.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
How do they think we managed to survive as a
species for ten thousand years? How do they think we
got here? Some great texts coming through on three four
eight three. Corey hates plastic, never touches tap with anything
like that. I don't think that's quite a German a
German a germophobe thing. But yeah, okay, we'll keep the

(30:49):
teas coming through three four eight three. Do you wash
your hand? Am I the only one who washes their
hands in cold water? Apart from this weird germophobe friend
of mine? Yeah? It just me and the germophobes.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Jerry and Minnie the Hotkey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
We're just running a pole who washes their hands with
hot water, who washes it with cold? And I wash
us as with cold. He feels like that makes it.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Cleaner, yes, and well, I just feel like cold is
the feeling of clean And we've had a bunch of
teas come through on three four eight three. This one reads,
surely germs hot dye in hot water sure does dry
your skin out.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Though, Well, I've looked into the science of that, and
it doesn't matter whether it's hot or cold water. It
doesn't make any difference to whether or not it kills germs.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Soap is the.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Key, right, Okay, So you've got to have some soap,
otherwise it's not really doing anything.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
So if there's no soap in there, is there any
point washing your hands? Not really?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Apparently soap so the friction from scrubbing with soap, not
the water temperature, is what removes gens from his hand.
So actually, but the soap, because of the stuff that's
in soap, it releases the germs from the skin, isn't
not That's actually what soap does.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
That's its job.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
So apparently lava is better and warm water soap, Oh, okay,
that can help. So if you if you have more lava,
it helps you scrub more surfaces of your hands. I mean,
it doesn't really make any difference, to be honest, Leather.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I do have a stat there for you, Jerry.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Germs can be killed at temperatures around sixty degree.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Yeah, so you're not washing your hands in sixty degree water.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Most people aren't going to run that out of the
hot water cylinder.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
So that's what I mean. I don't think the hot
water is making it any any cleaner because it would
have to be so scalding hot you wouldn't be able
to hold your hands under it.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
So it's just sorry, manoas better for your skin apparently
worth cold water because hot water can dry out or
irritate your skin.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yes, and have about this one. On a related note,
I always do cold because it doesn't open your skin pores.
If you have fish on your hands, it stops the
smell from soaking in. Sure. Wow, that's a good game.
That's a good point. I often have fish on my
hands while I'm doing breakfast radio show. When you do
you clean yourself in a cold shower. I'm not afraid
of a cold shower. I will have a cold shower

(32:58):
in the morning or if I need to wake up
up because sometimes we'll do commentaries at like eight o'clock
or nine o'clock at night. You're like that, and so
you just jump through a cold shower. Good to go.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah, I imagine also growing up and win my tea
midnight as you did, then you would have been used
to cold pipes or at least taking a long time
in the winter for water to come through.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, there'd be some winters where a shower wouldn't even
get warm enough, so we'd boil the jug and then
bang that and I would stand above you. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
and bring the jug and fill the bath up then
and there that's a clean stuff.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I always think that there's a that's such a New
Zealand thing, like it gets cold and the bottom of
the South Island gets really cold in winter. But it's
classic New Zealand that it's like in Canada, for example,
they go, that's really cold. In Canada, we will do
everything we can to make sure that in the winter
you can still do all of these things. And it's okay.
In New Zealand, we're like, ah, it's freezing cold.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah. I don't want to hear you complaining about the
temperature in here. If you don't have a jersey on,
or go and cut and firewood, would you? Someone else
has just said just don't pass on your hands.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Well for a second, go back to the right. But
that's not why people are washing their hands.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Is that right?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Like nobody's urinating on their hands when they when they're
going to the toilet.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I don't know what you guys do that like warm
water over cold water? Maybe this is how you warm
your hands up.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
I always thought that the whole washing your hands time
was obviously if you've gone number twos, then there might
be some kind of fecal matter going on there which
you want to get rid of.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
But if you are going number.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Ones, like you're just touching, touching, your touching your bits
that haven't had anything on them. I mean, it's not
really that. It's just an opportunity to clean all of
the germs off your hands. And we've got to that point.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
It's also a courtesy. You'd like to think that any
man that you've shaken hands with has washed their hands
since then. Ticks through cold water all day, hot water
when your finger goes through the paper mid wipe morning,
guys usually cold because warm takes too long. Also germ
of about hand dryers. I don't live in pondso me
where I can get instant hot water. I use cold
water because I ain't waiting around for that sob to

(35:05):
heat up. What hold on?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
This is not a drive by on Pons B. It's
not like Pons is the only place you can get
hot water in New Zealand. Surely infection control nurse.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Here, the temperature is only relevant to activate the disinfecting
slash sanitizing agent and help break the bonds to shift
the dirt slash physical matter. The water does not kill
the bacteria. Warm water removes to and activates cleaning agents faster.
There you go, So like you said, there, Jerry, it
is actually warm water is better for cleaning your.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Hands, ah, because it gets the soap going.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
And more to the point, can we investigate investigate Jerry's
pronunciation of lather LoVa? Did I say lava leather? You say,
do you say lather? Yeah, lava lava. I'm a lather guy.
I'm also a cold water. That's another one of those ones.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
Jerry and Mania the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
He joins us to day's host speak Sandy's on the
breakfast show, Morning.

Speaker 8 (36:03):
Beck Morning, How are you good?

Speaker 1 (36:05):
How are you? More to the point, I've actually got
you a gift back here. This is a pre worker
and electrolytes by female athletes for athletic women. It supports
energy and performance with Key Electrolytes, lost and sweat one
hundred and fifty milligrams of caffeine and that sucker, mate,
I think you're going to need it.

Speaker 8 (36:20):
I'm going to need the whole thing.

Speaker 9 (36:21):
And it's watermelon flavored even better watermelon.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, how was Metallica?

Speaker 8 (36:27):
It was wholesome?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (36:30):
Really it was.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
Honestly when me I went with Kate Britton and as
we're walking out, we both said at the same time,
it was very wholesome. I don't know what other like,
it was fantastic, but fifty five thousand people, I've never
been to a gig that big before, and the energy
and everyone was just so into it and was such
a good vibe. But it just felt really hot, even

(36:53):
though the music was full on. Just that wholesome?

Speaker 1 (36:56):
As wholesome? Is that a criticism? Bit?

Speaker 9 (36:59):
No, in a positive way, Like, I don't know, maybe
it's just my age, but it was just looking around
where we were sitting. Then we know we had a
kid who was about fifteen and it was his first
gig ever and he was just frothing at the bit
the whole way through. And then we had a man
in front of us who'd have been in the sixties
who was crying with his brother on zoom. So it
was just kind of like it just brought so many

(37:19):
people together and it just had such a good.

Speaker 8 (37:21):
Wholesome feeling. I don't know. I don't know if Metallica
has ever been described as wholesome.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
No, I don't think I've ever heard them described as wholesome.
There were fifty five thousand people. As you said that,
I felt like the entirety of the South Island was
tipped into it to Eden Park last night, like they
just picked up the South Island shook it loose into
it pretty much to stand.

Speaker 8 (37:40):
I saw so many people from ash Vegas. It was crazy.
It's like a reunion.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah, yeah, was anyone in the South Island last night?
What's it like being at a gig with fifty five
thousand people?

Speaker 9 (37:51):
When we first walked because we were seated just to
the left of the stage, and as we walked it down,
it's like I almost couldn't breathe for a couple of
second because my body was in shock trying to process
the fact that there was fifty five thousand people in
this one area.

Speaker 8 (38:06):
But yeah, so good.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
It Sorry man, I did it. It sounded good.

Speaker 9 (38:12):
Yeah, amazing beast sound and the lights show the whole thing,
and the weather was great right up until the third
to last song. Of course, Master of Puppets just started
lightly raining.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
I saw beach balls, Oh my god, beach balls on
some people's social media.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
I thought, I'll tell you what.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Twenty years ago, if you said Metallica there's going to
be beach balls at one of their concerts, you'd be like,
surely not.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
How did fifty five thousand bogins go under a set
of beach balls?

Speaker 9 (38:35):
Well, they loved it, because the beach balls were released
by Metallica. We could see them loading them up from
behind stage onto stage, and I think.

Speaker 8 (38:43):
It was about fifty beach balls that were released.

Speaker 9 (38:45):
They were huge, and they we had the seventy two
because that's the new album, seventy two seasons and yeah, Farut.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
Obviously a lot of songs and a lot of hurts Metallica.
And I'm looking here at the set starting with Creeping Death,
for whom the bell tolls feel harvest of, Sorry, the Unforgiven,
and then like finishing is quite interesting. So the last
one two three for six songs, nothing else matters, Seek
and Destroy luxA Turner Master of Puppets.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Won and then into Sandman. Wow, that's a strong finish.

Speaker 9 (39:19):
It was a strong finish, and it was hit after
hait and right in the middle before those ones started,
they did the two Kiwi songs, so they did split ends.

Speaker 8 (39:29):
I've got it, I can't that's gone right out of
my head.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
I got you. I see read either of that.

Speaker 9 (39:34):
I have to look at my wa video. And then
the other one was six sixty, which was a surprise.
I didn't think they'd do six.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Sixty, but yeah, someone texted in that they did. It
was old Rob Trujillo, who just did the rendition of
that basically so the other fast could go and have
a quick breather.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Apparently, Yeah, apparently I got you by the looks of
it here and don't forget your roots. Yeah, wow, that's what.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
A great idea. Oh man, that's such.

Speaker 8 (39:59):
A smart very smart and everyone was into it too.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
And so how's the health this morning, Becker. It took
your while to wind down after that.

Speaker 9 (40:07):
Was what I loved about Eden Park was I'm living
over on the North Shore and as we got out
of the stadium, they had free buses going straight from
Eden Park to north Shore or to Key Street and
got straight on a bus and I was home in
bed by eleven thirty listening to Metallica on Radio Hidarchy,

(40:27):
going this is nuts.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
I'm surprised they didn't have some of those buses straight
to Ashburton.

Speaker 8 (40:32):
You know they should have.

Speaker 9 (40:34):
Yeah, no, but it was a really I've never been
to an event at Eden Park before and it was
so well organized and there was no drama. There was
one check having a chunder and the toilets halfway through,
but I don't know's that makes the Metallica good real
as that part of the course.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Yeah, thanks for coming in, Beck, appreciate that good That
great that you had a good time.

Speaker 8 (40:54):
Had a great time.

Ian Brackenbree Schanel is better known as who two but ruder?

Speaker 3 (43:49):
They were hard?

Speaker 1 (43:51):
They were pretty tough.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
You tell me you don't know? Number three they were
pretty thin.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Yeah, but you're remaber the only man on earth who
knows number three ninety So Richard Handley took us four
hundred test working at links back. You were right just
to throw a test playing nation out there, because it
wasn't Australia, it was India. Ian Brackenbury Channell Harris Taveta
is better known as the Wizard, but he hasn't been

(44:16):
around for a minute. And then how many super rugby
titles of the Crusaders one thirteen? We would also have
accepted fifteen?

Speaker 3 (44:24):
How are you going to know that halls Well was
the fastest growing suburban christ christ Man really tough? Ye,
they were too hard, the bloody tough.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
I'm sorry, Lucy, but you know Hallssville?

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Poor on? Lucy?

Speaker 3 (44:41):
Oh well, Lucy, thanks for playing and best of luck
with everything.

Speaker 7 (44:45):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Have a good day. If you think you could do
better than Lucy, or that Rudor might make me questions
a bit easier tomorrow morning on a Friday, make sure
you give us a quar tomorrow we'll have one hundred
bucks up for grabs. Coming up after the eight o'clock news.
We've got the Bunnings.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Load you up today We've got a massive a massive
price to give away. Oh again, we had a huge
price of giveaway yesterday.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, that's right, two fifty dollar Bunnings gift cards and
a massive, massive secret prize. It will tell you what
it is after eight o'clock plus Jerry's Theories. We've got
a real doozy for you this week.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
Jerry and Midnight the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
We it's this time of the day again Jerry's Theories.
This is if you're new to the show, it can
be hard to wrap your head around initially, but we'll
get there as it plays out. So the idea is,
we ask you a question you need to figure out
not what the actual answer is, but what you think.
Jerry thinks. The answer is, so so far we've had

(45:43):
in what year did Jerry think the first backflip was performed?
Fifteen thirty five? Jerry thought, we actually don't know. There's
no way of non and that's kind of the point.
The second week, this one, much to the dismay of
my immediate family. How many sexual partners does Jerry think
Mania has had?

Speaker 3 (46:00):
And again, there was no way of working that out,
But I came to eleven.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
No way of working it out.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
No, it was impossible, no way of scientifically working that out.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Of course. And actually this is the only time we
actually did reveal the actual answer, and that's that I'm
saving myself a marriage. What percentage of the population does
Jerry think have joined the mile high club? Jerry, I
thought it was less than one, less than one percent
percentage of New Zealanders who are vegan two pero point
one nine. And how many different toilets this was last week?
How many different toilets does Jerry think he's used in
his lifetime?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Yeah, a lot, twenty three hundred and ninety two. I mean,
I don't know about that one. That was hard to
work out, and I think this week's one is possibly
even harder.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
That's right. This week. How many power poles does Jerry
think there are in the South Island power poles? Okay?

Speaker 3 (46:49):
So eight hundred, Heydechi, eight hundred four to eight seventy five.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
We need you to be.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
A part of this as well. Greg is the carryover champion.
It's the highest honor bestowed on any person who listens
to the Herdechy Breakfast is to be able to work
out what I think the answer to these questions is.
And Greg has done it now for the last what
four weeks?

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Yeah, at least, and I think it was was it
Andy before him? Someone else had had the rain for
about three weeks. So it's a very prestigious prize and
it shows that you know Jerry inside and out and
the workings of his brain. But Jerry, this is a
hard one. I think it's going to be a high number.
But there's a few different jumping off points. You know,
how many how many kilometers of road do you think

(47:30):
there are? Well?

Speaker 3 (47:31):
I mean, yeah, sure, I have no idea how many
kilometers of road there are and stuff on how many
how many roads are there? The other part about it
is not just kilometers of road, because there weren't a
lot of powerpoles, probably in rural areas, WHI and also
that are probably underground.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
I mean there's also I don't know, there's also powerpoles
that aren't on the side of streets. There's powerpoles that
go through paddicks. Yes, do you consider a pylon to
be a powerpole?

Speaker 4 (47:56):
What's an interesting point?

Speaker 5 (47:57):
Then?

Speaker 3 (47:57):
I I do consider that. I think anything that's anything
that is a vertical steel structure, and actually I'll take
wood too, ye.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Concrete yep, I'll take concrete yep.

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Anything that that is a vertical structure that holds a
line that transmits power, and it has to currently transmit power.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
So if the.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
If the power, if it's a former line that now
doesn't transmit any power, I won't be counting.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
That in my head.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Okay, So any one of those poles anywhere in the
South Island, and I'm not including Stuart Island.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
Nope, you're not including the Chathams. No, You're only You're
only including the continental South Island.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
Yeah, I know there's bugger all in Fiordland. So as
a geographical area, there's like nothing going on down there. Okay,
there's a lot of the South Island high country which
won't have a lot of power poles, a lot of
the a lot of the I mean, there'll be the
big ones that run through the middle, but there will
be a lot that there'll be a lot of that.

(49:01):
There'll be a lot of land that doesn't have power poles.
Put it that way, But I've kind of got an
idea in my head. How many streets are there?

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Oh my god, all right, give them a call now
eight hundred Hadaki, eight hundred and four to eight seven five.
We're going to take three callers. One of them will
be our carryover champion, Gregor Fees available, and it's up
to you to decipher Jerry's theories. How many power poles
do you think Jerry thinks there are in the South Island?

Speaker 5 (49:26):
Jerry and Midnight, the Hdiarchy breakfast smack bang in the
middle of Jerry's theories.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
This is the game show where you need to try
and figure out what you think Jerry thinks. The answer
to a particular question is this week's question is how
many power poles does Jerry think there are in the
South Island? Now in the South Island, in the Southland,
the continental South Island of New Zealand. There's a few
texts that have come through on three four eight three.
People guessing, but also people providing a little bit of

(49:55):
information but their own hypotheses, if you will. Some said,
don't forget about Monopoli and all the other hydro schemes
that transmit to the North Island. So that is going
to be a contributing factor, isn't it. Yep, that's a
contributing factor a lot of hydro electric schemes. Another one
here just heads up. Maximum distance between pylons is four
hundred meters and maximum distance between standard power poles is

(50:17):
two hundred meters. Good luck, Oh, good luck. Okay, thanks
a lot for that, HIJII. I think you need to
consider the red zone and christ Church. It's an area
where four or five suburbs have been completely made redundant
since the quakes, and there's a lot of power poles
and they have no electricity running through them at all.
This is Pedro from JMW Electrical, so I should know.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Yeah, well, it's funny Pedro that you say that, because
I have taken into consideration this. So let me just
let me just I often think about this, how many
power poles are there in the South Island, and there's
something that draws me to power poles. Sometimes in particular
states of mind, you end up focusing on those lines
that are sitting above yeah streets, and they look really

(50:57):
quite weird. There is I imagine because of the quake
and christ Church that a lot of the power would
have been put underground at that point.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Right.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
So, in terms of a city in New Zealand, but
that's where earthquake was jury, that's right, But I think
at a time when they had an opportunity to modernize.
There's a lot of roads I know around Auckland that
have now got the power cables underground and you've got
obviously the lights that still exist, but there's no power lines.
Power lines are weird things. It's weird that it's going
above anyway. So I think that christ Church, probably of

(51:32):
all the New Zealand cities, the largest cities, probably has
the least amount of power poles per capita. That's my
feeling on that. The other part about it is the
amount of people in the North.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
And South Island.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
So I'm just going to say for a start with population,
because I think power poles do have a relationship to
land area and population size, and I think the I
think is about I'm going to guess like one and
a half million people in the South Island. I'm going
to guess that, and I think there's about three and
a half a bit more maybe four in the North Island.

(52:12):
That's my guess. I don't actually know, but there's more
land area in the South Island, but there's also more
generation coming out of the South Island. These are the
issues the white TACKI scheme. Yeah, so I have Okay,
I've come to a I've come to a number of
my head.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Okay, come to a number. Okay, all right, let's go
to the lines. Let's get Greg on first. Greg's ore
carryover Champion. Good morning, Greg, Welcome to the show. How
many powerpoles do you think Jerry thinks there are in
the South Island? Next?

Speaker 7 (52:41):
Now, look, I I've also gone through a lot of
those those same thought patterns. So I went through rights.
My thoughts were caught on the population. Yep, yep, a
lot of gen Right, You've got high tension lines and

(53:02):
you got low tension lines. You've got the fact that
power poles do tend to follow major arterial roads and railways.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
This is why, this is why is the carryout champion.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
This is why is the carry out a champion.

Speaker 7 (53:19):
And so what I did is I basically drew a
map of the South Island in a rough rectangle form,
which is basically one thousand kilometers by two hundred kilometers.
I took a weeds out of the middle fifty klometers
wide to represent the southern Alps, and then divided the
rest of it into a grid.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
Yeah, where did they get you?

Speaker 7 (53:44):
Well, then you've got to sort of consider obviously the
urbanization which I talked into account as well in terms
of undergrounding the power lines, which which is quite a
popular thing to do, and christ Church obviously a bit
more of that. I figured that you're pop your your
power line density does definitely follow housing density. So I

(54:07):
assigned fifty thousand power poles to christ Church. They need
fifty thousand Queenstown, probably thirty thousand in Nelson, thirty thousand
of your major urban areas. The rest that I divided
into a grid and then sort of split it into
allion hundred meter segments. So you know, long.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Story, story, wherever you landed, long story, I.

Speaker 7 (54:30):
Landed at one million, two hundred and thirty.

Speaker 4 (54:33):
Thousand, Okay, one on one point two three.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
One point thirty three million, brilliant, hold the line there,
greeg one point three million Greggs.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Is one point two three million power poles in the
South Island.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Yes, we're going to go to Mark online too. Mark,
you're a sparky from Christians. You should have a fear
read on how many power poles there are in the
South Island. But again it's what do you think, Jerry thinks,
what's what's your number?

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yes, you know you think I'd have the end side track,
but I think big power try and keep that head.
I had a similar approach to Greg, but I didn't
actually draw regret. I just just estimated good. I would
say two point six eight billion, Okay.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
Two point six eight from Mark the sparky from christ
which has got the inside running.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Okay, okay, okay, thank you so much for the call. Mark, Okay,
I reckon. We're just in the interest of time, we're
just going to go with the two for this week. Jerry.
So we've got Greg as the carry out a champions
one point two to three mil. We've got Mark. What
was his number.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
Again, two point six eight Jerry.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
How many power poles do you think there are in
the South Island?

Speaker 3 (55:47):
Well, I think eight hundred and seventy one thousand, seven
hundred and forty eight is my estimate, which is around
about half a powerpole per person.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
That's kind of where I landed in the in and
also half as many as Greg, but but about a
quarter as many as Mark thought there were in the
South Island. So Greg remains undefed. And congratulations, Greg, you've
done it again.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
You're hard to unsee, that's for sure.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
Thanks fella. Look it was that was a real killing
on that one. I'm going to say that, really.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Greg, we were tossing up between that and how many
possums does he think there are on the south?

Speaker 5 (56:26):
Jerry and Mni the hold Ikey Breakfast. Jerry and Mini
the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Down here in christ Urich arrived yesterday afternoon and I've
got to say I've had a great experience down here
in christ Church so far. This may be the best
experience of christ Church I've ever had in my life.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
No, it's a good spot down there in cross Church.
It's really coming along, man.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
It really is the city itself. It's been the planning
of the rebuilders. I know it's taken ages.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Yeah, you're sitting here in twenty twenty five you haven't
been through any of it and going, jeez, this is
together well, hasn't it.

Speaker 3 (57:02):
The planning was good, is what I'm trying to say.
Like whoever worked out where things are going to be,
they actually did really really well with the green spaces
in particular places, with the with the shopping pressend in
certain places with the restaurants where they are, the hotels
where they are, and stuff like that. The convention center,
it all just feels like it works. It's still bloody
hard to work out which ways, which I don't know

(57:24):
why it is.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
No, it's not you look at the Alps if they're
on your left, your facing north, if they're on your
face in south, it's not hard. It's hard. I can't
see the Alps. I can't see the Alps. You're outside,
go outside, that's we exactly how am I going to know? No,
certain with certain buildings you can't see the ops when
you're wandering around. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
I've just always found cross there. It's a difficult place
to navigate. I think. I think it's because it's flat.
I think that's part of the reason.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
At least.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
If there's some kind of hills somewhere, even little hills,
you can kind of work your way around. Oh yeah,
that that means I go that way. That means I
go this way. There's a weird one way system going
on to.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Oh yeah, that'll spind you around if you get in
the wrong place. Then also, some of the roads are open,
some of the roads are shut, but you're right, it's
a good spot down there, and they've I can't wait
for this stadium to open. Are you doing the show
from the stadium there? Seven sharp? That is no, we're not.
We're doing it from the Botanic gardens.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
Beautiful this afternoon and I'm just having a look at
the weather there, absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Twenty three degrees. Wow, that's one of those.

Speaker 3 (58:29):
Yes, it's really nice tomorrow twenty six degrees so tomorrow.
I think the Norwester kicks on everyone here. What I've
noticed everybody in christ which knows exactly where the wind's
coming from at any given time.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
I think Wellington's like that too, I reckon. If you
asked you average Aucklander which way is the wind coming
from today, they'd be like, no, it is what's wind?

Speaker 1 (58:49):
They don't know, they don't check whether that you're one
hundred percent right? Can't well again, you know exactly what
direction it's coming from, because you know what direction you're
facing at any given time. My whole life growing up
in the South Island, knew what way I was facing
the entire time, But then moving to Auckland, I was
just like I got no idea right now. I could
not point it north. I could point at the bridge,
which I think is north, but I got no idea.

(59:11):
But down south again. Like I said, if you've got
the helps on your left, you're facing north. If they're
on your right, you're facing south. If you get the
sea on your left or on your right, you know
what way you going.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Yeah, And I guess with the wind conditions as well.
If your testicles are up inside your body, then you
know it's southerly. And if they're hanging down low, then
it's in northwestern.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
That's right. You are getting any golfing? Were You're done? There?
No no golf, no time for golf. But I am
going to the Queen and Chocolate.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
Factory today to do a story because Queen Anne, are
I think ceasing doing a particular chocolate that they've been
doing for the longest time.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Queen Anne New Zealand Chocolates. You know, Queen Anne. No,
but it doesn't really help me with segueing into the
liner I was about to read.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
Know in Queen Anne or Queen Anne was a swinger?

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Does that happen? Here we go, We're back on track,
drawing tomorrow on the big show and on our show
the Radiohodock Your Swingers Club is back this time it's
the November edition, all in support of men's mental health.
We'll get a chance for you and to make to
join us. So go to Hodaki dot cod at n
Z tellus whose team you'd love to represent, Team Bricky
or Team Big Show to get in the draw. It's
all in support of November. And like we said, we'll
be drawing our winters tomorrow morning and then the Big

(01:00:15):
Show I'll be drawing theirs tomorrow afternoons, so make sure
that you get in the drawer. Will we bring some
of those coen and chocolates back with it?

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Well, I'm not sure whether I'm going to get any
three ones yet, min I, but I'm assuming, I'm assuming,
Well I'm not. I won't assume anything. No, I'm hoping.
I'm hoping and dreaming that maybe I will get some
because actually them my favorite New Zealand chibloates.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Oh and Wkers. I like Whatkers as well, and you
will s very must to the studio.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
Oh absolutely, thanks very much for listening to the Hidicke
Breakfast today. Have a Lovely Day podcast will be able
at eleven am this morning

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
The Hodlackey Breakfast with Bunning's Trade raising funds this November
to support men's health
