Today on the podcast Jerry tells us how much he gives back to the community, and we read out one of your questions asking for more evidence that we live in a simulation.
PS: The term that Rooda was looking for in the middle of this podcast was "confirmation bias". Idiot.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome on to the podcast. Monday, the twenty fourth of
November twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
A month tomorrow, Hotel Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh wow, thirty more sleeps.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It is too How long we got two week? Finished?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Four weeks? Yeah, nineteenth of December. It is our last
four weeks, our last day on the radio. So yeah, okay,
forward to that quick amendment to Maniah PI where I
went six degrees of separation between Jerry and Hitler. The
(00:39):
photo that I thought I found of King George and
Hitler was actually Edward, which is his brother, is it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So Edward was the king and then he abdicated the
throne because he wanted to marry Wallace Simpson in American divorcee, right,
you weren't allowed to do that.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You weren't allowed to marry devorces.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's going to say face like a slap dark Well,
I went, but.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I read a book on those guys and they were
It's really interesting. Like she she was American. Obviously, she
was a socialite. I think she was twice divorced actually
before she married him.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What is that thing about this? There are certain socialites
like you know, you'll you'll you'll hear of someone who's
who's married three different professional athletes? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
How does it happen?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it's it's weird that one
Jersey chases the person only seems to be friends with
the rich people.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
How would that?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it seems there's not that many rich people that
would be unlike. Where are they be unlikely?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Where are that person's real actual friends? Why are they
only friends with people who can get them into corporate boxes? Sporting?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
In music? She was quite interesting. She was hated by
the royal family, obviously because he abdicated for her so
then so he could marry her, and then and then
stood down, and then King George, whose Queen Elizabeth's father,
had to then take over. He didn't really want to
be king. He had a stutter.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It was quite He was really shy.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, he was the start of one. He was really shy.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I want to be in a position of public influence
because basically all they do is give speeches. So yeah,
ended of a stutter. It was freaked out.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And the other part about it was it was getting
ready to have that really cruisy life of the person
who's couple down and in those days, the Royals a
couple down actually lived a really really good life.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Reserve quarterback for an NFL team, Yeah, perfect, perfect, You're
going and you practice maybe once a month in the
opposed session, and other than that you just pray that
the starting quarterback doesn't go down.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, they didn't have this whole idea that the Royal
family were all about service in those days. So definitely
the ones who ran the king were just having such
a crazily good life.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Because back in the day he used to just be
able to ball out. But then in the last I
think it's probably the last fifty, but noticeably in the
last ten to twenty, you're no longer allowed to just
be like, how gangster am I. You've now got to
hide behind charity work, which a lot of other radio
sessions do. But you know, back in the day, you
used to just be able to be like, I'm cool,
(03:10):
look at.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Prove you're a good person. You're going to prove you're
a good person. Now youre going to prove your work.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, but but as a thinly veiled way of self aggrandizing.
So you look at this amazing charity work I did.
The key giveaway I've said this before is if the
person telling you about the charity work doesn't mention the
name of the charity or what it's for, they are
just telling you how cool they are. Yeah, right, you
know what I mean. Yeah, anyway, I'm doing a lot
(03:35):
of charity work this week, a looking forward to it
sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Don't I don't want to go and I.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Don't want to go into it, just want I just
want you guys to know that I do heaps of it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, that's good man.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But I do a lot of it anonymously. Yeah, you know,
I do a lot of philanthropy, very very I like
to do it anonymously.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I could share the name of the charities that work
with so that other people could support them as well.
But it's not about that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, no, no, no, no, it's not. I just want people to
know that it's still a lot of work behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How much your week in juredy reckon you put aside
for charity work hours?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Not every I'm not saying every every weekend, Okay, this weekend,
that would be that would be too difficult.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And also you're saying you don't see it as putting
time aside. That's just what you do totally.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I'm out there in the community. You know, you'll see
me a lot out there in the community doing work.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I've seen you do some work in the in the
community and the community.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm in the community.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Don't worry about your younger days. You've done a lot
of them, plenty of work in the community. And you
considered a lot of that charity work, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Charity work?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
And I mean that was free and some very late
nights as well.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Jury.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That was the impressive thing. The stamina that you that
you use to work right through the night for the community.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, when you're working such long hours like I do,
there's not much time in the day, so you've got
to use the night otherwise, how am I going to
I don't have time during the day.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Those those those who want to, they make time, and
those who don't they make excuses. Exactly, You've never made
an excuse. Thanks very much, you make time.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I appreciate you guys have seen that and understand that.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He thanks for noticing. Thank you so nice man. Back
to Walla Simpson. So she they then got married. Then
they moved. They were looking for some cushy posts somewhere
where they could still get paid. He was basically in
a fight with the royal family for the rest of
his life. He was trying to get her a royal
highness title.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
See Mega Michael thinks she started all this ship.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, that's why Queen Elizabeth was not a fan of
Mega Mirkael because she saw that before man and she
ruined their family, like she totally he bought some some
tore their family apart as the woman Wallace yeah, and
which yeah Wallace was the Wallace Simpson.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So, and she saw the stress that it put on
her father. So she was like, we were on this crap.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Never again, No, Hirashim and nuggasucker, never again.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And so they'd turn up at events and stuff in
England and all of a sudden the former king would
turn up and everyone he's the former king and and
everyone else would be like ignore him, ignore him. And
he also was he was a Nazi sympathy Okay, well
because you saw that photo of him with the Nazis,
oh of course.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And then he went to the Bahamas and he became
the governor of the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Really yep, my computer's just logged out again.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And same. This is the most annoying. That is the
most annoying thing.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sorry, this is one of the updates to the studio.
We've got new computers that they log it. It's a
bloody health and safety thing. But you know you can't
because we've got such top secret secrets on our computer,
like six degrees of separation from Hitler.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What do you reckon? Fifteen minutes?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What to set it thirty?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh, it's got to be longer because if it's every
fifteen minutes, and that fifteen minutes just happens to turn
up in an interview, I personally, I think it should
be at least an hour.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It needs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You need to eliminate it as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Hour.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It used to be like three, didn't it. Mine used
to only turn off after one, used to take ages. Okay,
I mean longer.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
We're not we don't have any secrets on our computer.
It doesn't need to lock it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It needs to It needs to be open all the
time because you can't have it turning off halfway through
an interview with someone.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The only yeah, what happened to me before? And I
was like, who the hell is this guy? Turned around
and we were halfway through an interview and my computer
log down. I was like, well, who the fuck is
this guy? Jack made it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Look like a real fool.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I know, it was hurtful when you didn't know a
sc here g Laane because of your computer lockdown?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
In the fuck are you? And then he turned around
lifted his ship up. I saw the back bush and I.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Was like, it's cheer Lan.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, it's not fit for purpose as well, say g Lane.
He's not fit for purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
He's fit for some purposes, yeah, unfit for others. Um
should take.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
A quick break, quick and then you've got to address
some of those things from the conclay Have you got
those them? And I buck, Yeah, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, but it's like an hour. That's a traumatic Sorry
enough've been swearing a lot in the last fifteen seconds.
What are you singing?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Right? That?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
My mum had this on cassette for some reason? Do
you know what the chorus is? It's me I'm get there,
I'll come home.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's good. It's good that you knew. I spent I
spent probably twenty something years of my life not knowing
what the fuck that's it.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
But actually made me like the song more, you know
when you don't know the words the churuse Sometimes it's bitter.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, of course, ain't far away. It's Heathcliff. Yes, it's
me and Kathy comes come home.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It's so cold to me in your window. I knew
that it's so cold at me in your window. But
it's like, why, who's Heathcliff.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's from I used to work for the station, Heathcliff Cliff, Heath. No,
isn't it from one of those It's from like a
Shakespeare player or something.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wuthering Heights.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's it, isn't it Dick Dickens, I think Dickens. Yeah,
And that's old Heathcliff. And she's the ghost of his
messus Kathy. Yeah, it's me and Kathy. I come home?
Let me in your window?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
What did you that line?
Speaker 4 (09:19):

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, she's Bush. She's you going a little bit?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, yes, I'm honest. What was her big hit that
came through from Stranger Things?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah? Yeah, nobody saw that, kimmen, Nobody saw it. Noticea
heath Cliff, Kim, Where did Wuthering Heights come from? People
who love Bush love it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's what I'm going to say about the bouche. People
who love it. I love her, absolutely love Kate Burk.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, this had a resurgence on Tiki Talks.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I guess it's got good production listing, interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Having a moment. All the hooks from eighty songs go
really well on tiktoks.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What it is.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Should address some of the feedback in the and the conclave.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Nobody's noticed. And we're in the Oppers today.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I've noticed. I've noticed you got the offers on the
opposite the headphones. Jerry used to run for years and
then one day this year is like, actually don't like
the Oppers. You tried some other ones?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now I bought the Oppers? Did I actually bought these yoppers?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Actually they actually mine good.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Another good example of your community spirit and giving back.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Precisely there it is giving back to the community.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I think, actually, didn't you take the other pair
of headphones and donate them to the christ Church office.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, I was sent down to christ Church and our
content director thought that maybe I might need to pay
headphones down there because he might not be headphones.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's right, Yeah, that's like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Something he told him that there weren't.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, you've basically turned up to a pub with a
handle a bit.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, well that's there was no microphone. It was a computer.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Did you take a microphone with you?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
God damn it, But there was definitely a computer.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I didn't need a laptop, Johnny Pearce.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Did you take an antenna? Johnny Piace got on, got
unto the conclave and said, ken to hear you boys
go deep on examples of the simulation play up, playing up.
Excuse me, I encountered a glitch a few months back.
You boys had guy Montgomery on the potty and he
mentioned his favorite burger joint while on tour, and Ossie
was Patty Smith's. I'd never heard of this burger joint
(11:47):
before the next day, I flew over to the GC
for a work conference, caught up with the boss who
was already over there for lunch. Ever, guess where he was,
Patty Smith. Patty Smith's right, that's the bloody Is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That a glitch in the system? Was Is that just
the system working the way it works?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It's a glitch in the matrix, man, It just didn't
It didn't have enough burger joints, so it ended up
serving the same twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What's that what's that theory that Let's say, for example,
you buy yourself Sabari Legacy as a car, and then
all of a sudden, all the cars you see are
Sabari Legacies.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
What's that thing called something effect?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Starting rock climbing effects?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Something effect? Because what's it called? There's something.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Effect?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because if you go down the Southern Motorway from Auckland
down towards Hamilton, there's a Rodder road r O D
D A. And I'd gone over under it so many times.
Once I started getting the nickname Ruder, I was like,
fucking Ruder road.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think of you every single time I see that.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
But you didn't used to You didn't used to know,
didn't it used to?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, that's right, that's there's a little there's there's a
great example of the simulation.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah I had. I've had a similar a similar one
on a similar of the highway, so uh, not far
on the Southern Motorway as well. On the way towards Wouku.
Around that turn off, there's a road called Beaver Road
Road and I'd never noticed it before until one day
I was going down to the mount with my misses
(13:19):
and i'd left work at the same time as Beaver,
who I was working with at the time, and we
were Yeah, we were side by side on the motorway
and I looked at Beaver and then I looked at
Beaver Road and I'd never noticed it before, and now
every day it's bloody.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He named Beaver because of that?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Or did they name the road after him? That's what
I want.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Beaver Road has always been there?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, well, no, he was. He could have. I don't
think he was named Beaver because when he was a kid,
apparently his front teeth stuck out. Okay, so he was
Beaver since a kid, oh ages ago?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Okay, yeah, because yeah, it does make sense that he
did actually live around that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Area and now you're releasing a podcast called Between Two Beavers.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, exactly that. And he They did name the rugby
ground after him. I don't know if that's permanent or
maybe one of.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The fields Stephen Donald Field, or is it called the Beaver.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Beaver Park Beaver Park, I think so. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know if it still is, but it was for
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's a Beaver Road, there's a Beaver Lodge.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Beaver Lodge is quite funny.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Beaver is a great, great animals question for you without
warning the nice jeartes.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Is this the day?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Is this the day that you talk about, the day
that we're summer, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The day that was foretold, the day that you know,
the day when everyone yep day, as that's you Oppy day.
No Yapper Day was already Yeah, it's already been. It
was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yopper Day is a day. It's actually not called yap
to day I start, I don't want to give it
it's a proper title into a microphone. But it's a day.
It's the day in which people, men and women reveal
the hard work they've been putting in over winter, and
and it coincides on it's the first day of summer,
and it generally comes after a hot afternoon, usually on
(15:05):
a Monday, but it can offer me later on in
the week. But the things you need for Groundhog Day,
for Yopper Day is there needs to have been a
good a day of good weather the day before, and
it needs to be a warm morning so that when
people wake up in the morning they're like, yop a
day okay.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And the wind needs to be coming from the northerly quadrant.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, well ideally no wind yeah yeah, and then people
wake up with the confidence to go, you know what
shorts into the office today.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I don't want to drag it back to my experience
in christ Hitch last week. So I have crept on
a lot about it. But I exited the office on Friday, yeah,
and walked out after chatting to you guys, and walked
out of the air conditioning and it was twenty yeah,
this is like nine thirty yeah, twenty six degrees twenty seven.
Oh my god, it was nice.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It was so this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Warm blanket and velloup.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
To me, you get nice with it. Those nice if
you can get us ill hot morning in christ Church
as the problem is about three o'clock that easterly whips up.
But you get a beautiful breeze for a brief period there.
But then the problem is it can get too hot
to around the thirties that norseisterly and then but then
that's Bernie. That's a real Bernie.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So you can get the gusty Norise lives and it
really cranks on. But it was on Friday, was not
the gusty norwister. It was just a light, noisily. It
was it was lovely.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I mean, look, I'm all on board with moving the
whole station down across you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Then I was there on Saturday, freezing cold, easterly, overcast,
gray cold.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I've done something over the weekend. I was supposed to
address it with you on the radio show that you're
going to be so proud of. Happened to me over
the weekend. It's something that I think happens to every
man in their thirties. It's finally happened to me. I
was rearranging every now and then. You rearrange the apps
on your home screen on you and then it was like,
you want to add a widget? And I was like,
because what I was trying to add was the weather app,
because I found myself looking at it. We've got a
(17:00):
couple of tidal beaches around us, so I'm constantly checking
the tides, the times and the temperatures. Yeah, and I
was like, I have to keep guns searching for the
weather app by name. I'll add it to my home screen.
Then it was like, you know, to check a fucking
widget on there that tells you the temperature throughout the day.
And so I have now on my home screen see
the entire top of that's blue. That's two rows of
(17:20):
what would usually be apps, but it's now reserved for
the with so I don't even need to open that, bitch.
I can just look at my phone. Auckland nineteen degrees
ten am eleven, it'll be twenty heating for a high
of twenty two love fifteen mostly sunny.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Which weather apples though. That nicked it up.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It's the it's the AQ weaver, it's the Apple one. Yeah,
it's random, it's quite random.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's sort of based on the truth, but it's it's
based on the true story. But it's not right.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
The original widget that I put on there was just
like there's a sixty five percent chance of rain in
the next five days, and I was like, what the
fuck was supposed to do it that pluck?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
What is the percentage chance?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Like, that's a stupid way to describe. But now this
one now because it because it's hour by hour and
it does update itself quite often, so I know if
it's going to rain in the next few hours ago
and that that's enough for me because if I need
to go outside for.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, way too much time looking at that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, can I recommend a widget? Then you don't even
need to open the bitch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, probably makes sense. Jesus look quite nice today as.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I cleaned up my father in law's home screen on
his on his phone. He doesn't have an iPhone, but
he had one of those situations where he had about
twenty different pages that he was swiping through and most
of them were the same thing, like settings about seventeen times,
nice messages about twelve times.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, Hey, how do you rearrange them?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hold it?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Hold it, bro hold down to them, then they'll all
start dying.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And then how do you move one from one screen
to another? Though?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You just hold down and drag it around.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Hold it and then you go get it home screen,
and then you can move those suns just like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And about if you want to move it on to
another screen though.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Then you go hold it over and drag it over
in there, oh onto another screen?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah yeah, well then go like that.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And then it makes it okay.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
But I do it so that I've only I only
ever have one screen. I don't want to be I
don't want to be scrolling across multiple screens, so I
need to so then I'll utilize folders.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Folders.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Look this seems to be an off here. Thanks. We
definitely to shut the ship down.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
See that one there is probably that's the that's the
one that you want to go to the most because
it knows the ones that you use a lot, and.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That you could just put all of those onto your
onto your main screen, so then you don't need to
you know what, just get one of your kids to
do it when you get.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
And now, what we're going to do, because we're talking
about the simulation theory, is that someone is going to
be out there and they're going to be listening to
this podcast and they're going to be rearranging their home
screen and they're like, fuck, it's a glitch. It's another one.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, all right, see us tomorrow
Welcome on to the podcast. Monday, the twenty fourth of
November twenty five.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
A month tomorrow, Hotel Christmas.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh wow, thirty more sleeps.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It is too How long we got two week? Finished?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Four weeks? Yeah, nineteenth of December. It is our last
four weeks, our last day on the radio. So yeah, okay,
forward to that quick amendment to Maniah PI where I
went six degrees of separation between Jerry and Hitler. The
(00:39):
photo that I thought I found of King George and
Hitler was actually Edward, which is his brother, is it?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So Edward was the king and then he abdicated the
throne because he wanted to marry Wallace Simpson in American divorcee, right,
you weren't allowed to do that.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
You weren't allowed to marry devorces.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's going to say face like a slap dark Well,
I went, but.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I read a book on those guys and they were
It's really interesting. Like she she was American. Obviously, she
was a socialite. I think she was twice divorced actually
before she married him.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
What is that thing about this? There are certain socialites
like you know, you'll you'll you'll hear of someone who's
who's married three different professional athletes? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
How does it happen?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I don't know. Yeah, yeah, it's it's weird that one
Jersey chases the person only seems to be friends with
the rich people.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
How would that?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, it seems there's not that many rich people that
would be unlike. Where are they be unlikely?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Where are that person's real actual friends? Why are they
only friends with people who can get them into corporate boxes? Sporting?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
In music? She was quite interesting. She was hated by
the royal family, obviously because he abdicated for her so
then so he could marry her, and then and then
stood down, and then King George, whose Queen Elizabeth's father,
had to then take over. He didn't really want to
be king. He had a stutter.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It was quite He was really shy.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, he was the start of one. He was really shy.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I want to be in a position of public influence
because basically all they do is give speeches. So yeah,
ended of a stutter. It was freaked out.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And the other part about it was it was getting
ready to have that really cruisy life of the person
who's couple down and in those days, the Royals a
couple down actually lived a really really good life.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Reserve quarterback for an NFL team, Yeah, perfect, perfect, You're
going and you practice maybe once a month in the
opposed session, and other than that you just pray that
the starting quarterback doesn't go down.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah, they didn't have this whole idea that the Royal
family were all about service in those days. So definitely
the ones who ran the king were just having such
a crazily good life.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Because back in the day he used to just be
able to ball out. But then in the last I
think it's probably the last fifty, but noticeably in the
last ten to twenty, you're no longer allowed to just
be like, how gangster am I. You've now got to
hide behind charity work, which a lot of other radio
sessions do. But you know, back in the day, you
used to just be able to be like, I'm cool,
(03:10):
look at.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Prove you're a good person. You're going to prove you're
a good person. Now youre going to prove your work.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Yeah, but but as a thinly veiled way of self aggrandizing.
So you look at this amazing charity work I did.
The key giveaway I've said this before is if the
person telling you about the charity work doesn't mention the
name of the charity or what it's for, they are
just telling you how cool they are. Yeah, right, you
know what I mean. Yeah, anyway, I'm doing a lot
(03:35):
of charity work this week, a looking forward to it
sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Don't I don't want to go and I.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Don't want to go into it, just want I just
want you guys to know that I do heaps of it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, that's good man.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
But I do a lot of it anonymously. Yeah, you know,
I do a lot of philanthropy, very very I like
to do it anonymously.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I could share the name of the charities that work
with so that other people could support them as well.
But it's not about that.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
No, no, no, no, no, it's not. I just want people to
know that it's still a lot of work behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How much your week in juredy reckon you put aside
for charity work hours?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Not every I'm not saying every every weekend, Okay, this weekend,
that would be that would be too difficult.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
And also you're saying you don't see it as putting
time aside. That's just what you do totally.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I'm out there in the community. You know, you'll see
me a lot out there in the community doing work.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I've seen you do some work in the in the
community and the community.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I'm in the community.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Don't worry about your younger days. You've done a lot
of them, plenty of work in the community. And you
considered a lot of that charity work, didn't you.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Charity work?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
And I mean that was free and some very late
nights as well.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Jury.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
That was the impressive thing. The stamina that you that
you use to work right through the night for the community.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Well, when you're working such long hours like I do,
there's not much time in the day, so you've got
to use the night otherwise, how am I going to
I don't have time during the day.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Those those those who want to, they make time, and
those who don't they make excuses. Exactly, You've never made
an excuse. Thanks very much, you make time.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I appreciate you guys have seen that and understand that.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He thanks for noticing. Thank you so nice man. Back
to Walla Simpson. So she they then got married. Then
they moved. They were looking for some cushy posts somewhere
where they could still get paid. He was basically in
a fight with the royal family for the rest of
his life. He was trying to get her a royal
highness title.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
See Mega Michael thinks she started all this ship.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, that's why Queen Elizabeth was not a fan of
Mega Mirkael because she saw that before man and she
ruined their family, like she totally he bought some some
tore their family apart as the woman Wallace yeah, and
which yeah Wallace was the Wallace Simpson.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So, and she saw the stress that it put on
her father. So she was like, we were on this crap.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Never again, No, Hirashim and nuggasucker, never again.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And so they'd turn up at events and stuff in
England and all of a sudden the former king would
turn up and everyone he's the former king and and
everyone else would be like ignore him, ignore him. And
he also was he was a Nazi sympathy Okay, well
because you saw that photo of him with the Nazis,
oh of course.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
And then he went to the Bahamas and he became
the governor of the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Really yep, my computer's just logged out again.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And same. This is the most annoying. That is the
most annoying thing.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sorry, this is one of the updates to the studio.
We've got new computers that they log it. It's a
bloody health and safety thing. But you know you can't
because we've got such top secret secrets on our computer,
like six degrees of separation from Hitler.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
What do you reckon? Fifteen minutes?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
What to set it thirty?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Oh, it's got to be longer because if it's every
fifteen minutes, and that fifteen minutes just happens to turn
up in an interview, I personally, I think it should
be at least an hour.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It needs.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
You need to eliminate it as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Hour.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It used to be like three, didn't it. Mine used
to only turn off after one, used to take ages. Okay,
I mean longer.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
We're not we don't have any secrets on our computer.
It doesn't need to lock it.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It needs to It needs to be open all the
time because you can't have it turning off halfway through
an interview with someone.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The only yeah, what happened to me before? And I
was like, who the hell is this guy? Turned around
and we were halfway through an interview and my computer
log down. I was like, well, who the fuck is
this guy? Jack made it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Look like a real fool.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I know, it was hurtful when you didn't know a
sc here g Laane because of your computer lockdown?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
In the fuck are you? And then he turned around
lifted his ship up. I saw the back bush and I.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Was like, it's cheer Lan.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, it's not fit for purpose as well, say g Lane.
He's not fit for purpose.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
He's fit for some purposes, yeah, unfit for others. Um
should take.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
A quick break, quick and then you've got to address
some of those things from the conclay Have you got
those them? And I buck, Yeah, okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, but it's like an hour. That's a traumatic Sorry
enough've been swearing a lot in the last fifteen seconds.
What are you singing?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Right? That?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
My mum had this on cassette for some reason? Do
you know what the chorus is? It's me I'm get there,
I'll come home.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
That's good. It's good that you knew. I spent I
spent probably twenty something years of my life not knowing
what the fuck that's it.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
But actually made me like the song more, you know
when you don't know the words the churuse Sometimes it's bitter.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, of course, ain't far away. It's Heathcliff. Yes, it's
me and Kathy comes come home.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It's so cold to me in your window. I knew
that it's so cold at me in your window. But
it's like, why, who's Heathcliff.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It's from I used to work for the station, Heathcliff Cliff, Heath. No,
isn't it from one of those It's from like a
Shakespeare player or something.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Wuthering Heights.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's it, isn't it Dick Dickens, I think Dickens. Yeah,
And that's old Heathcliff. And she's the ghost of his
messus Kathy. Yeah, it's me and Kathy. I come home?
Let me in your window?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
What did you that line?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
This?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
But here she can sing?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yeah, she's Bush. She's you going a little bit?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yes, yes, I'm honest. What was her big hit that
came through from Stranger Things?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah? Yeah, nobody saw that, kimmen, Nobody saw it. Noticea
heath Cliff, Kim, Where did Wuthering Heights come from? People
who love Bush love it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's what I'm going to say about the bouche. People
who love it. I love her, absolutely love Kate Burk.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, this had a resurgence on Tiki Talks.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I guess it's got good production listing, interesting.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Having a moment. All the hooks from eighty songs go
really well on tiktoks.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What it is.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Should address some of the feedback in the and the conclave.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Nobody's noticed. And we're in the Oppers today.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I've noticed. I've noticed you got the offers on the
opposite the headphones. Jerry used to run for years and
then one day this year is like, actually don't like
the Oppers. You tried some other ones?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now I bought the Oppers? Did I actually bought these yoppers?
Speaker 4 (10:41):
They?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Actually they actually mine good.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Another good example of your community spirit and giving back.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Precisely there it is giving back to the community.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
And I think, actually, didn't you take the other pair
of headphones and donate them to the christ Church office.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Well, I was sent down to christ Church and our
content director thought that maybe I might need to pay
headphones down there because he might not be headphones.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's right, Yeah, that's like.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Something he told him that there weren't.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, you've basically turned up to a pub with a
handle a bit.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah, well that's there was no microphone. It was a computer.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Did you take a microphone with you?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
God damn it, But there was definitely a computer.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I didn't need a laptop, Johnny Pearce.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Did you take an antenna? Johnny Piace got on, got
unto the conclave and said, ken to hear you boys
go deep on examples of the simulation play up, playing up.
Excuse me, I encountered a glitch a few months back.
You boys had guy Montgomery on the potty and he
mentioned his favorite burger joint while on tour, and Ossie
was Patty Smith's. I'd never heard of this burger joint
(11:47):
before the next day, I flew over to the GC
for a work conference, caught up with the boss who
was already over there for lunch. Ever, guess where he was,
Patty Smith. Patty Smith's right, that's the bloody Is.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
That a glitch in the system? Was Is that just
the system working the way it works?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
It's a glitch in the matrix, man, It just didn't
It didn't have enough burger joints, so it ended up
serving the same twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What's that what's that theory that Let's say, for example,
you buy yourself Sabari Legacy as a car, and then
all of a sudden, all the cars you see are
Sabari Legacies.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
What's that thing called something effect?
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Starting rock climbing effects?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Something effect? Because what's it called? There's something.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Effect?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Because if you go down the Southern Motorway from Auckland
down towards Hamilton, there's a Rodder road r O D
D A. And I'd gone over under it so many times.
Once I started getting the nickname Ruder, I was like,
fucking Ruder road.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Funny.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think of you every single time I see that.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
But you didn't used to You didn't used to know,
didn't it used to?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:52):
No, that's right, that's there's a little there's there's a
great example of the simulation.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah I had. I've had a similar a similar one
on a similar of the highway, so uh, not far
on the Southern Motorway as well. On the way towards Wouku.
Around that turn off, there's a road called Beaver Road
Road and I'd never noticed it before until one day
I was going down to the mount with my misses
(13:19):
and i'd left work at the same time as Beaver,
who I was working with at the time, and we
were Yeah, we were side by side on the motorway
and I looked at Beaver and then I looked at
Beaver Road and I'd never noticed it before, and now
every day it's bloody.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
He named Beaver because of that?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Or did they name the road after him? That's what
I want.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Beaver Road has always been there?
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, well, no, he was. He could have. I don't
think he was named Beaver because when he was a kid,
apparently his front teeth stuck out. Okay, so he was
Beaver since a kid, oh ages ago?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Okay, yeah, because yeah, it does make sense that he
did actually live around that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Area and now you're releasing a podcast called Between Two Beavers.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Yeah, exactly that. And he They did name the rugby
ground after him. I don't know if that's permanent or
maybe one of.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The fields Stephen Donald Field, or is it called the Beaver.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Beaver Park Beaver Park, I think so. Yeah, yeah, I
don't know if it still is, but it was for
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
There's a Beaver Road, there's a Beaver Lodge.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Beaver Lodge is quite funny.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Beaver is a great, great animals question for you without
warning the nice jeartes.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Is this the day?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Is this the day that you talk about, the day
that we're summer, you know.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
The day that was foretold, the day that you know,
the day when everyone yep day, as that's you Oppy day.
No Yapper Day was already Yeah, it's already been. It
was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yopper Day is a day. It's actually not called yap
to day I start, I don't want to give it
it's a proper title into a microphone. But it's a day.
It's the day in which people, men and women reveal
the hard work they've been putting in over winter, and
and it coincides on it's the first day of summer,
and it generally comes after a hot afternoon, usually on
(15:05):
a Monday, but it can offer me later on in
the week. But the things you need for Groundhog Day,
for Yopper Day is there needs to have been a
good a day of good weather the day before, and
it needs to be a warm morning so that when
people wake up in the morning they're like, yop a
day okay.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And the wind needs to be coming from the northerly quadrant.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, well ideally no wind yeah yeah, and then people
wake up with the confidence to go, you know what
shorts into the office today.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I don't want to drag it back to my experience
in christ Hitch last week. So I have crept on
a lot about it. But I exited the office on Friday, yeah,
and walked out after chatting to you guys, and walked
out of the air conditioning and it was twenty yeah,
this is like nine thirty yeah, twenty six degrees twenty seven.
Oh my god, it was nice.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It was so this.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Warm blanket and velloup.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
To me, you get nice with it. Those nice if
you can get us ill hot morning in christ Church
as the problem is about three o'clock that easterly whips up.
But you get a beautiful breeze for a brief period there.
But then the problem is it can get too hot
to around the thirties that norseisterly and then but then
that's Bernie. That's a real Bernie.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
So you can get the gusty Norise lives and it
really cranks on. But it was on Friday, was not
the gusty norwister. It was just a light, noisily. It
was it was lovely.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I mean, look, I'm all on board with moving the
whole station down across you.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Then I was there on Saturday, freezing cold, easterly, overcast,
gray cold.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
I've done something over the weekend. I was supposed to
address it with you on the radio show that you're
going to be so proud of. Happened to me over
the weekend. It's something that I think happens to every
man in their thirties. It's finally happened to me. I
was rearranging every now and then. You rearrange the apps
on your home screen on you and then it was like,
you want to add a widget? And I was like,
because what I was trying to add was the weather app,
because I found myself looking at it. We've got a
(17:00):
couple of tidal beaches around us, so I'm constantly checking
the tides, the times and the temperatures. Yeah, and I
was like, I have to keep guns searching for the
weather app by name. I'll add it to my home screen.
Then it was like, you know, to check a fucking
widget on there that tells you the temperature throughout the day.
And so I have now on my home screen see
the entire top of that's blue. That's two rows of
(17:20):
what would usually be apps, but it's now reserved for
the with so I don't even need to open that, bitch.
I can just look at my phone. Auckland nineteen degrees
ten am eleven, it'll be twenty heating for a high
of twenty two love fifteen mostly sunny.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Which weather apples though. That nicked it up.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It's the it's the AQ weaver, it's the Apple one. Yeah,
it's random, it's quite random.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It's sort of based on the truth, but it's it's
based on the true story. But it's not right.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
The original widget that I put on there was just
like there's a sixty five percent chance of rain in
the next five days, and I was like, what the
fuck was supposed to do it that pluck?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
What is the percentage chance?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Like, that's a stupid way to describe. But now this
one now because it because it's hour by hour and
it does update itself quite often, so I know if
it's going to rain in the next few hours ago
and that that's enough for me because if I need
to go outside for.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, way too much time looking at that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Well, can I recommend a widget? Then you don't even
need to open the bitch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, probably makes sense. Jesus look quite nice today as.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I cleaned up my father in law's home screen on
his on his phone. He doesn't have an iPhone, but
he had one of those situations where he had about
twenty different pages that he was swiping through and most
of them were the same thing, like settings about seventeen times,
nice messages about twelve times.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, Hey, how do you rearrange them?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hold it?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Hold it, bro hold down to them, then they'll all
start dying.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And then how do you move one from one screen
to another? Though?
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You just hold down and drag it around.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Hold it and then you go get it home screen,
and then you can move those suns just like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And about if you want to move it on to
another screen though.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Then you go hold it over and drag it over
in there, oh onto another screen?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah yeah, well then go like that.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And then it makes it okay.
