Julian David is through the quarterfinals of the speed climbing,
posting a personal best of five seconds and five five
point two seconds to advance from the qualification route into
the quarterfinals.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
Best sport is one of the more bizarre sports. If
you've caught any at this Olympics. It is actually terrifying
the way that they fly up a wall of.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
That fifteen minutes, fifteen meters straight up. It's a fantastic sport.
I was thinking, I say on the Gender podcast yesterday,
imagine a sport where you run one hundred meters the
dash and then up fifteen to end one hundred and.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Then yeah, I feel like I've videos of almost firefighters
doing some kind of similar to that. They run with
letters and then they go fifteen meters straight up at
the end of that.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
That would be something about one hundred meters hurdles or
and then up.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, they already talk about hurdles being one of the hardest,
hardest kind of activities in the Games.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah yeah, or any race with fifteen meters up at
the end of the marathon inans with fifteen meters up.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Tell you what, I'm surprised by this.

Not only is at fifteen meters, it's not straight up,
it's a five degree overhang s.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
He's kind of climbing.

the qualifying round of the woman's four thousand meter pursuit

Minnesota government Tim Waltz, will be by her side and
the presidential fight.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
If she wants to.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Win the election. I think she shouldn't do any interviews
and she should definitely not laugh at her own jokes.
She's quite a strange person. Carmala Harris. I guess that's
why they hit her away as vice president. So it's
going to be an interesting race going forward, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Lots lots of m on both sides for this election.
What if she just pretends she's got laryngrotis for the
next four months?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Do you reckon? That might help?

Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:58):

Speaker 7 (07:01):
I can't do it, they can't, right.

the Olympics after ascending the fifteen meter wall and a
personal best time of five point two seconds.

five five overhand. Yeah, it's incredible, it's incredib sports, everyone's

up fifteen meters.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, could you keep that up for the entire height
of Mount Everest.

Speaker 6 (08:49):

struggled to do fifteen meters and five point two seconds.

Speaker 7 (08:54):
I agree.

The Mat and Jerry Show podcast, The Wonderful World of
Getting into Disneyland for Free.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I was saying it was sneaking into Disneyland before I
got that wrong.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I got it wrong.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
A ticket for free admission to Disneyland was given to
a California man in nineteen eighty five, and it was
honored by the park when his daughter used it thirty
nine years later. Jesus Mate Scotty King visited Disneyland during
the thirtieth anniversary celebrations on August twenty eighth, nineteen eighty five.
He said, at the.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
Time they were giving away a lot of prizes. The
one was a Cadillac Seville. I thought I had won
a car voice.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
The prize turned out to be a Disney Passport ticket
for free admission to the park.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
When I got there, they awarded me with the free ticket,
and I and an arm a winner badge, and I said,
what about the cattle, And they laughed and said, not today, buddy.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
He said.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
He ended up putting the ticket into a scrapbook, where
it remained forgotten for nearly forty years.

Speaker 8 (10:11):
Then my daughter decided that she wanted to go to
Disneyland with her boyfriend. She was telling me about how
expensive it was now and everything, and I said, you know,
I have a ticket. Let me see if I can
go grab it, he said his daughter, Sabrina. Sabrina, the
teenage witch eighteen, had also more than.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Earned a trip to Disneyland. She just graduated high school
top of her class. Go Sabrina. Sabrina King and her boyfriend,
Ruben took the Ruben. I know a lot about this,
a lot about this. Remember those names, Sabrina King and
her boyfriend Ruben. This won't be the last time you
hear them from then. It definitely will be took that

(10:50):
Disney passport to the park and brought it to the
ticket taker.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
A park manager signed.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Off the thirty nine year old passport, and Sabrina King
entered the park for free, saying.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
You a taste approximately one hundred and ninety four UIs dollars.
I'm just having a look at the attendance fees here
in front of me. Two day pass three hundred and
ten bucks.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
A five day pass will sit you back at least
eight hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's a long time.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's been to Disneyland five days. I took me kids
to Disneyland and we stayed in the Disneyland Hotel within
the park.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Oh, I've just had before in Perry.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Ah, right, yeah. So you look out your window across
the park. It's so incredibly magical. And I was super
excited to take my kids because Disneyland was very important
to me growing up. But on the way to the airport,
the mother of my children discovered that they didn't really
know much about Disneyland because it had really they kind
of knew a little bit, and so a lot of

(11:42):
YouTube clips hat to be watched to sort of quite
quickly to get a kitchen to get them all excited
about the park history.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Listen, this is Mickey this is many. You know, he
doesn't walk around with any pants on. Don't worry.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
There is goofy. No one knows what he's up to. Pluto.
I don't even know what animal he is.

Speaker 7 (11:59):
The is the.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
The whole word? What is that? That that really creepy

introduced myself as as my real name. But I still
do this. It's still something that I do every day.
I use that name when I introduce myself. I still
meet people every day. I shake their hand and say hi,
I'm fit, nice to meet you. And then that went well,
and that was all good. And then about three hours later,

(20:22):
so he then came up to me and said, well,
hang on, I've just found out that you're you're Mash.
And I was in it. I was stuck in a
little bit of a situation because I had to go
to him, know you, hang on, I'm kind of both here.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, I see what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
And then and then I started thinking, this has happened
a couple of times now where I've had the name
Mash for three four years, and maybe I need to
look to people like yourself, Daddy or or Ruda and
other people out there that have nicknames. But at what
point I'm trying to figure out, do I just have
to go you know, what my name is now Mashi
because people in the work in the workplace call me
meshi y. Unfortunately, my girlfriend has referred to me as Mash.

(20:59):
My friends and a calling me man. Yeah, Like if
I play sport or social sport, it's Mash. If listens
to the show, came up to me, it's Mash. Pretty
much everywhere is mashed. When do you embrace it? It's
a good question around nicknames, isn't it, Because I've got
to make called spooch. Yes, And he keeps introducing himself
as his real name, And I can see why, because
spooch is a terrible nickname, but Mash isn't a bad nickname.

(21:21):
I guess it's not. I just feel weird about introducing
myself as high like to someone I don't know if
we've got quite highly esteemed kiss to come in here
and if I go hi, I'm mass so I go.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
I see what you're saying, Yeah, I see what he's saying.
Interesting because the guy that's normally here, Jeremy. For a
long time he was called newsboy yeah everyone, and then
at some point he's sort of aged out of being newsboy.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
He didn't become news man.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
About that when he gets back. But you're right, because
I don't know, like, is this going to be the
Is this what the rest of my life is going
to feel?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well, it's funny because a lot of your nicknames, like
say it high school and such, are quite sexual. So
then it becomes true quid and you're about your mid twenties,
you know, why are you called horse?

Speaker 7 (21:58):
Like?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Why was I called horse right through high school?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
What were you called horse?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Were you called horse right through high school?

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Horse?

Speaker 4 (22:04):
I didn't know that. Why we caught up with a
beer with your high school mates the other day and
they were not referring to you.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
As horse, you know, they called me teeny weeny peenies.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, But you know what I mean, like a lot
of a lot of Yeah. Like I had a mate
who's was right through high school and uni was called
Prong and and there was a point where he was
just like, can we not call me prong anymore? And
then you run into those people from back in that
era and they go, hey, Prong, and it seems so weird.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
But are you allowed to dispute your nickname? Because I
hate to do to all of us, but you know,
I don't really want to be going as a nickname
for the rest of my life. Yeah, yeah, I understand
that it is something that might have to happen.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
It's become your professional moniker, hasn't it.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
It has.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
I don't quite know what to do about.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well, I think hold on to that because if you
get involved in some kind of scandal and you're in court, Yeah,
and then thin Caddies being posted around as a name
and they're like.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
No one knows that it could be quite good.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Actually, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
So what are you thinking moving forward? I'm going to
maybe for the next couple of weeks I'll try introducing
people as mass you're doing. Just see how I'm just
not looking forward to people that you know have a
bit of class.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Yeah, yeah, Well we'll be interesting here from people eight
hundred Hedecky talk pick Function your Heart, radiop or three
for three who have nicknames that they still run but
feel awkward using them when they first meet people.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Maybe when we come back up with this crewdit House song,
I'll also like to ask you about your nickname Daddy, Yeah,
daddy coos the extin version.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, I mean, if you meet a girlfriend's father for
the first time, and he asked what your name and
you say the coups. That's awkward. It doesn't quite work.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
And Mass and Jerry Show.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
Podcast your Wednesday Morning without Jeremy Wells this morning as well.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, well Jimmy Wells gave you the nickname Mesh, didn't
he Mashy.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Now you're in a bit of a.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Conundrum because you're not sure out in public, you're no
on more now is Mash than you as your name Finn,
And you're really asking the question whether you should start
introducing yourself to people as Mash. Mash. Isn't that bad
a nickname? It's want to be a nickname at all.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
No.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
I think that's just more of the fact that it
doesn't make sense. So many nicknames come from last names
or things that are related to them or yeah, I
don't know, you pointed because he's got a pointy head.
All yeah, And for this one, it's just tough for
me when I go out to introduce people, I feel
like using the name Mash is sill a bit strange.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Well, this person he's got a nickname, says this is
my nickname from school was Muffman because of some muffs
or snowboarding my wife hates it.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
You know, I can see why your wife hates it.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I'm called Scab because I used to wear scab six. Okay,
that's scap.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
I think this hasn't really helping my situation from the
selfish point of view.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Someone whose nickname is scared, you're not gonna go up, hey,
how are you?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
You know?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Someone comes up, Hey, my name's Janine, and you go
my name is scared.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
You see this is the problem that I've got. Yes, okay,
so maybe Scap is helping me out here. Let me
know how that goes to your scared. By the way,
if you do introduce yourself as Scab, got to mate
called Hoover, Sus the texture and three for it. Three
Missus didn't know his real name for two years.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
My mate name is Tat's what okay?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Why? Actually no, no, that doesn't that doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Why you can't go around introducing yourself?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Is that? What about you? Ruda?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Your nickname is Ruda?

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Well, yeah, my nickname's Ruda because my real name is Jeremy,
and of course I could not be called Jeremy because
of one of the stars of the show. So I
have to have a nickname, which I do actually like
and embrace. However, my wife has gone coward on mor
nickname and she likes to hide behind it so she
doesn't have to admit where I work because.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
She doesn't want to be associated with the Matt and
Jury briefly show and a headache six to nine weekdays.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
It's only natural.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
But the main reason she doesn't want to is because
a lot of people that she comes across that listen
to the Madden Jerry Show are massive fans.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
And then.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
One of them in particular last week that she talked
to was a massive fan of you. Oh good, and
she heard that's Medendettie because she heard the Madden Jerry
Show and a taxi with this particular person, yes, and
they were like, oh my gosh, I love mad Heath.
And then it was what does your husband do? He
works in radio?

Speaker 10 (25:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Where does he work? It in? In me? Oh? What station?

Speaker 6 (26:00):
And eventually it keeps going and then it's like, you're
married to ruder?

Speaker 7 (26:05):
What is that rid?

Speaker 12 (26:06):
In the reaction that they give, she did, really she
did immediately texted her husband immediately. I hope there's reactions
out there like that for me, but I don't know
if there is so what are you saying that they
road it?

Speaker 4 (26:19):
How does that help me? Is that going to help?
Are you saying that maybe I sted to embrace it?
Are you saying that I should hide from it like
your wife does?

Speaker 3 (26:24):
So?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Like what you're saying basically, if Mash starts introducing himself
to people as Mash, your wife and you need to
start introducing you to people as Ruda.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
Well you introduced her at a bar about a month
ago as missus Ruder.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeahs, and that went really well. She likes she didn't
mind me called missus Ruder.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
No one's helped me. Okay, I'm gonna I'm going to
go out there over the next couple of weeks and
introduce myself as Mash. And I'm going to go back
to you.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
And here's some motivation for that. This text has come through. Meshy,
you're a the Muppet, the old name. It's all Mesh
from here, all right.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
That's lovely to fear. Mesh is written on your headphones.
I'm guessing by you.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So okay, okay then or are right?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Then?

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Then Matt and Jerry Show Podcast.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I've got the text through.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
We'll talk about nicknames the whole company, both Auckland and
further calls me Dilly. Matt bestowed me that name on
day one.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Pleas, pleas, that is that Dilly? Is it texting in there?

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (27:15):
So did you? I mean, how on earth did you
come up with Dilly?

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, his name was Dylan, and I said, Dilly. It's
really for some reason. Hey, lads, you're explaining why people
have nicknames, but you have not done so far from
Mash and Ruder. Can you please do so so we understand. Well,
your call mash because we had a producer called Banger,
and so we were like Bangers and Mash, right, sure, yeah, yeah,
that's why it was right.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
And I don't know why he was called Banger.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
That's I know.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
He was called Banger because rhyme with Haanger, who was
another producer. So we're like the Banger Hanger, the Hanger
and Banger producing combo go. When Hanger left and got
replaced by Finn, we called a mash. It was bangers,
Banger and Mash and Ruder is called Ruder because a
tribute to the drummer from Dedie Smith because he's a

(28:01):
musician and Dedie Smash was Sir Dave Dobbin who wasn't
a Serthian and Ruder was the drummer, very muscly man
who often wore at string t shirt.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
And I do have to say getting to your nicknamed
Ruda was tough for us so because we've been so
we've been quite you know, hang a banger mash kind
of food focused for a while, because then we also
had Gravy of course in the middle there who came
after mash, which made sense on the food theme, and
then Ruda was a big side step. So how we
got there, I'm not quite even too sure. Was it
because you came into it one day wearing a lacey

(28:31):
g and some kind of stringy singing.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, I think it was something like that.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I can't remember exactly, but perfectly this Texas, says my
brother William.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
We call him bum Fluff.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Bumfluff, I mean Bumfluffs, not the kind of nickname you're
gonna You know, if you sidle up to someone at
a bar and say hi, could I get you a drink?
They say my name's Susie and you say my name's bumfo.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
You know you're not doing that, are you?

Speaker 7 (28:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:52):
I mean Bumfluff.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
We also had the big sauce on the show for
a while, didn't.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
Oh yeah, we had the big sauce on the show.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Banger's mash in the big sauce.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Oh god, okay, I mean quite fitting that it's mas.
She's as thick as potatoes.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Love you.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Oh that's a lovely tex.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
That it's beautiful. But yeah, this, oh my god, that nickname,
that nickname, that nick name, I mean, why is it people?
Why are people giving people nicknames like dilly and bump?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
What I mean? This sticks to your message? Jealous of
Keesy's nickname? What is Key's nickname? What I mean that's
his last name?

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Easy?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yeah, I suppose the last name is just Key, isn't
it CAZy? H?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
It does roll off the tongue, It.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Does roll off the tongue.

Speaker 2 (29:27):

So we're sitting at twelve on the table. Still a
couple of couple of couple of golds would really help

didn't make the news headlines. You know how Snoop Dog
is all over the Olympics and he's turning up to
equestrian and full jobbers and riding a hat and handing
out carrots and apples and cruising around on a golf

(31:23):

Speaker 6 (31:48):
That's two weeks so basically pulled seven million.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Bless them.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
Listen, well done and Mass and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
You know, we used to be hunters and gatherers and
we'd walk around and we'd gather food to survive. But
now what we do as we sit on our couches
and we we try and flick endlessly through to find
something to watch. Right, That's what we've become. And I
was doing that the other day and I've been flicking
through for about half an hour when I thought I
finally settled on a movie and I just grabbed it

(32:16):
and I watched it. I didn't know why I hadn't watched.
It was from twenty twenty three. It's called The Killer
with Michael Fastbended, directed by David Fincher, you know of
the game, Fight Club seven, Zodiac, Gone Girl, you know,
one of the greatest directors of all time, Sure Social Network.
And I was like, how has this movie slipped under
my radar? So I sat down and bloody watched it,

(32:38):
and jeez, it was a good movie. Through it it's
quite boring, So you got to realize when you go
into it that is quite boring.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
But that's kind of the point.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
So the point is it's about a it's about an assassin,
but it's about how the procedure of being an assassin.
So it starts off with a Fastbendo sitting with it
with a gun across the from the person he's got
to shoot and going you have to be okay with
boredom if you're going to be a hit man, because

(33:08):
you've got to wait for a long time, okay. And
I think that's sort of a signal to the audience
that you guys are gonna have to be okay with
this movie being very slow, and parts of it is
I'm just trying to get his heart beat down to
sixty sixty beats per minute, so when he shoots with
the sniper rifle, it doesn't move, but it just burns
along and you're inside this guy's head telling you what

(33:28):
the procedure of being a hit man for quite some time.
And by the end it was one of those movies
when it finished and I turned to pretty much no
one on the couch and said, she said.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Was a good movie.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
So it was a good movie in that it's a
good movie. I was confusing by the boring stuff, and
then the other stary.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Just operates in that realm where it's you just have
to embrace that you're going to be inside this guy's
head as he deals with trying to calm himself down
and not get too excited and not make mistakes, you know,
he's always telling him stick to the plan. Okay, he
goes predict, don't improvise. You know it's a good movie.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
Well, I was just going to say, interesting that you
say that it's boring because I was just watching the
trailer just before.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yes, the trailer is like anything but boring.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, here's the trailer.

Speaker 10 (34:15):
I phone music a useful distraction, A focused too, keeps
the inner voice from wandering. This is what it takes.
My process is purely logistical effective. It's because of one
simple thing. I don't give Oh.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
That looks good. It's the entire movie here going there.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Keep to the process, do not improvise, stick to the plan.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
But it's very good.

Speaker 1 (34:52):

something to watch. Some of you are gonna hate it

Ben Morning.

Speaker 7 (36:27):
Yes, no Jerry this week, but of course he is

Yes, he's still on Telly with this task Master show
that you guys are doing.

Speaker 7 (36:33):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
I was saying the other day how little Jermy does
on Taskmaster. It's kind of he's the figurehead of the show,
but Paul does all the work. He's on the set. Yeah,
he's on the set every day. When you're doing your
task with you. Jerry just turns up, greases his hair back,
and sits on the throne and sucks up all the glory.

Speaker 7 (36:49):
Yeah. I mean he's like he's like a lazy English teacher,
you know, like an English teacher just has.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
To read an essay and go be Yeah, sleep at
the wheel?

Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah has there? Oh yeah that was an hour four.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
Meanwhile, being Hurley's working his ass off running around the mansion.

Speaker 7 (37:05):
Yeah, looking like a feel How did you think you went? Oh,
that's a that's a loaded question.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
I mean, how did you think you went? Now you
know how you went, I don't know how. Don't tell
us how you went, fully because we want to, you know,
because people are going to watch the whole show. But
how did you think you were going to go? And
how did reality hit the road?

Speaker 7 (37:22):
Look, I'm a naturally competitive person played, you know, sport
or my youth and things like that. And I never
wanted to win it until I was there. Yeah, And
I didn't even want to win it when I was
doing the tasks, But once you're in the studio with
those other people, yeah, I'm on blood. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Well, that's the funny thing about that show, isn't it.
Because you've already done the task, so you may want
to win it, but but you've already you've already crapped
in the bed.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Now you've just got to sleep in it.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
Oh exactly. But then you've got the live tasks in
the studio, which you shouldn't care about because they's so ridiculous.
But I'm taking them so seriously. I'm trying to throw
my shoes and get them as close together as possible,
like I was last night. I'm like, I can do this.
This is fine. This is just basically like indoor bowls
but shoes.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah. And did you bond with the other contestants because
you would have known them already though of course, Oh.

Speaker 7 (38:09):
You have known them for years, and obviously you know
you go through quite a process with them. And if
I'm honest with you, I don't care if they level die.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
Yeah right, yeah, you've washed your hands on them.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
You're not running like a WhatsApp group that people do
after TV shows and then they just keep communicating forever.

Speaker 7 (38:22):
I think I've been kicked out of that great have you? Yeah? Yeah,
I didn't contribute to it much.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
So yeah, yeah, how do you leave one of those
groups without everyone knowing that you've left?

Speaker 7 (38:30):
Well, you just don't do anything and then they get
rid of you.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah right yeah. Hey up next, Ben Hurley, I've got
a question for you. What is New Zealand's greatest route?

Speaker 7 (38:42):
I've got some strong feelings on this.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Not who what?

Speaker 7 (38:46):
Ah? Okay?

Speaker 5 (38:47):
Then Matt and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, we're looking for.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
New Zealand's greatest route with panhired perck Up Hazy IPA.
There's nothing like a pickup truck. There's nothing like a
pickup truck when you want to just pick up and go.
I guess that makes sense. So when Panhead asked us
to find New Zealand's greatest route to celebrate their new
pick up Hazy OPA, we said, yeah, okay, and we've
invited Ben Hurley in to discuss that antaskmaster. But right

(39:12):
now that what is New Zealand's greatest route?

Speaker 7 (39:15):
Ben Hurley, Well, I I travel a lot of roots
as a you know, stand up comedian traveling around New
Zealand for the last twenty three years. I'm on the
road a lot, Yes, a lot of routes. I see
a lot of roots. Yep. I think my favorite route
in New Zealand is Tikuwity to New Plymouth State Highway three.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
State Away three. Describe it to me, Ben Hurley.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
So you're going You're going through the Alkena Gorge.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Okay, okay, love a gorge.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
Yeah, good gorge. You come out on the coast a
place called Morco and then you go down down the
west coast and it's dramatic and you can see Mount
Tartanaki in the in the distance, looking like Mount Fuji,
and yeah it's you get you get bush, yep, you
get rocks, yep. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Bush.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
It's always good in a.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
Yeah, yep. Don't mind a bit of bush when you're
on a route.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
I'm just having to look at this root here on
the mapile it's a great route. So it's going to
take you about two hours and nine minutes to do. Yeah,
about one hundred and sixty k So you come up
there through to Mapata. Oh, this is a beautiful route,
and then you hit so half of it's kind of inland.

Speaker 7 (40:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
He assumes your.

Speaker 7 (40:26):
Bousha, it's your Boosh. Yeah. And then you're out on
the coast and then you go back to Boosh. You
go over Mountain Messenger and you've got two two tunnels
that are in natural rock, so they're not sort of
ligned with concrete.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Yeah, I mean, Matt, we hadn't talked about this yet
so far and finding our greatest route, but a route
that includes a tunnel I think is up there, because
ah yeah, I think anywhere between christ Hitch and Calkata
this is a similar situation.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
There's going to great tunnels between christ Hitch and well Nelson.

Speaker 7 (40:53):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's actually good.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
I mean picks in hitting up from from up to
Pectun through kai Karta. Oh my goods, so many beautiful tunnels.
Someone here sees route thirty five up the east coast
north of Guzsey is the best. I'm not that super
familiar with that.

Speaker 7 (41:08):
No, I think that might have been quite badly hit
through the old cyclone and everything.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Clinton to Gore is the Presidential Highway.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
The other way is.

Speaker 7 (41:18):
Putunate thing about that is that Gore was never president.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
No, he was vice president. But I remember there was
a front page of an American newspaper that made the
news over here because Clinton and Gore were disagreeing on
somewhere and they had they had the road signs Clinton
this way, Gore that one. Yeah, they were going in
different ways and things. It was amazing political insight there.
So it's all cheers to the new panhead pick up
Hazy I PA New Zealand's greatest route text route it's

(41:46):
r O U T E not root to three for
eight three and tell us about your favorite roots.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Yeah, it's going to be about to get better in
two ways. Firstly, you're going to be giving away five
hundred dollars in the Great Taskmaster competition at about eight
forty and secondly, Ben Hurley, you are going to be
afforded the rare privilege of reading the radio HDAKI news
headlines at eighty Yeah.

Speaker 7 (44:32):
I'm a regular listener to the show, so this is
incredible that I get to be part of the nuts and.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Bolts of Now you're a performer, a very successful performer,
and a TV star, stand up comedian. News reading is
something I haven't really seen you do, although you'd say
that seven sharpers news adjacent adjacent.

Speaker 7 (44:48):
Yeah, no, if this is the seven chart news, it
would definitely be about pies. It'd be about a cat
in some sort of scrape. And we usually have one
quite newsy thing top.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, right, the top. So you're gonna are you going
to deliver it as Ben Hurley in a casual, lovable
Ben Hurley tone, or are you going to affect some
kind of newsreader.

Speaker 7 (45:11):
Maybe like a like a news wartime news reader. Oh yeah, yeah,
a warning of tough time.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
I think that's the that's the right option. As I say,
five hundred dollars to be one before nine o'clock thanks
to Taskmaster and Z's but right now, some ads and
then Ben Hurley with your news headlines. Maden Madden, gem
Mash Pressus Burtons with his hand for mattenjer.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Read there for you, Ben Hurley, You're going wow, okay,
all right, let's see what else you got.

Speaker 7 (46:15):
This will really entice the listeners from around New Zealand.
Parts of Auckland have woken up to thick fog this morning.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Fog and Auckland. Now we're talking baby ah in times.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
How's the airport going? So surely there's something about the
airport in the headline.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
I funny should say that, man, because several flights in
and out of Auckland have been affected, including three flights
to christ Church.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Sh It's interesting, becau.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
I've got a flight to christ Church on Sunday morning
and the people organizing it for this event I'm going
down for they says, They says to me, they says,
they says, what if the flight's canceled, and I said
it will ever be canceled.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
They'll ever be canceled.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
But yet just a few days before that flight, a
flight has been canceled to christ.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
It's a harbinger. Yeah, a strong statement from the New
Zealand women's track cycling team. At the Paris Olympics. They
clocked a national record time of four minutes and six
four point six seven nine seconds in the qualifying round
of the That was weirdly written, Ruda. I've got to

one in Tota again. See any one in New Zealand,
and I couldn't even get halfway up, and that was
like not even race, but that was just trying to
climb it like you'd climb a mountain.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
So it's fifteen meters up but it's on a five
degree overhang and you just got to It's the most
pure sport I've been taling about this morning, because you
just up and then bang the thing.

Speaker 7 (48:08):
It's great, it's great.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
But as I said before, would be great to put
that at the end of the hundred.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Meters one hundred meters dash and then up fifteen meters bang.
How good with that?

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Bet?

Speaker 7 (51:47):

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Also, speaking of entertainment, the Olympics are on no medals
half overnight. We're still sitting on twelfth on the middle table.
Three goals, five silvers and one bronze.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Are we talking before.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
About Julian David guven David, I said, Darvid Julian David
and the speed climbing. That's bloody exciting, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (52:08):
He slipped on his first attempt as well, so that's
five point two seconds that puts him into the final.
That was that was must have been the second attempt.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
That's a short race, isn't it, so you build up
your training and training and then it's over in literally
five seconds.

Speaker 7 (52:22):
Yeah, and his first time, and.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
He'll clamor against Sam Watson, who said a world record
four point seven to five seconds in the final eight.
Tomorrow evening. The woman's track cycling team have topped the
qualifying round, so you know that's a possibility that national
record time ben four points sixty seven nine. As you
were saying in the new Zea line.

Speaker 7 (52:42):
It's going to rain gold because it's a lot of
sitting down sports.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Now, yeah, that's right. We've got the men's track cycling
team as well and they're in a ride off for
a potential bronze. Now this is interesting. We were saying
in the break when you read Dame Lisa Carrington, like
it's so weird, so weird. It sounds like she would
be seventy five years old wearing some pearls in a
gown and the tiara.

Speaker 7 (53:03):
And I was wondering, like, was Sir Richard Hendley still
playing when he was Sir Richard Hadley? Was he was
he knighted?

Speaker 1 (53:09):
I don't reckons he was Sir Richard Henley steaming in
from the r vance end. Yeah, Lisa Carrington, so surely
she can get us some bloody golds, little Lady of
the Lake. She's already bought five golds home to New
Zealand across her career and one Bronze.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
Looking very strong. Last night I was watching the heats
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Yeah, Breeze threw her first two canoe sprint heats at
at the Olympics. Is her fourth Olympics. Carrington, when's the
pole vault?

Speaker 7 (53:36):
Because we've got three women in the pole volt final
last night.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
I think we had the pole vault No. Two nights ago.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
And then it's four thirty today.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
What the final because we've got thirty am the small
coming up.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
So we've got three women in the pole vault.

Speaker 7 (53:52):
Yeah yeah, Coartney and two new ones I don't know about.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Yeah yeah. And so that's three of the that's three
of the of the twenty.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
Imagen and Olivia I think your names out. Yeah, so
in the pole vault. So we'll lined up. Hey, fella's
question for you, well, what is our most successful Olympics?

Speaker 7 (54:05):
Are we sure that?

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Nineteen eighty four I believe we got eight golds.

Speaker 7 (54:08):
Yeah, that was la that was where there was no
Eastern Bloc countries there because there was a boycott, So
no Russia, no Poland, no Romania.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
So last Olympics, what do we get? We got?

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Do we get seven?

Speaker 1 (54:20):
I think we've got seven golds? Last Olympics?

Speaker 7 (54:22):
Is that second best? I think?

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Seven goals? Last Limps we're on three. So have we
got any chance of getting there? A lot of that
sits on the powerful shoulders of Dame Melissa caring.

Speaker 7 (54:32):
Lydia co though. Oh yep, in the golf, I hear
you being very disparaging about the golf in the Olympics.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Made Yeah, what's you're doing in the Olympics.

Speaker 7 (54:42):
Everything's at the Olympics, climbing up the walls in the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
The Mat and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
So how was just I got a question before you
before we go, like Olympic sports that I could compete in.
Do you think with a journey of pole vault, I
could pole vault over the highest high jump height? So
I could pole vault over two point four to five
meters is the highest? Yeah, So if I could win
the high jump gold medal with the pole.

Speaker 7 (55:09):
Vault, put it this way. I don't think you could
cycle as far as the longest long jump.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (55:17):
I don't think we've got any chance of being able
to do that. I wouldn't even know where to beget
you if you had a pole in your Yeah, you
wouldn't begin.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
That's not true.

Speaker 7 (55:26):
I mean, yeah, he's got some experience.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
