Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Feedback Friday on the Daily Wounder. The Daily Wounder
is what we're running with. We're taking the Daily.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Wounder for a run. Yeah, and we are asking for
some open, honest, raw feedback. No sacred cows? Or do
(00:29):
you want some sacred cows?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I want sacred cows.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You want a few sacred cows? I think some cows-
What cows do you think should be sacred?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Oh, dude, I think there's always- The idea that there's
no such thing as a sacred cow, I think that's dishonest.
I think there's always going to be some sacred cows.
Will you address the fact that maybe they're a sacred
cow and you don't want to go there? Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I was only going to say, look, there are some
sacred cows, but- So is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
This a safe space for us? If someone sends in
a voicemail and wants to address something that we think
is a sacred cow, we're within our rights to not
address it?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We just go, what we do is we just go moo. Okay. Okay.
And at that point, you know that that's a sacred cow. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That you don't want to discuss. That you want to, yeah, okay. Okay.
What have we got? What have we got from the peeps? Well,
so we got onto the Conclave yesterday and we said,
and this is a feature that we've been using to
great effect on the Agenda podcast, but if you listen
on iHeartRadio, there is a microphone button on the home player.
Even if you don't, you can just go onto iHeartRadio
(01:28):
and record a voicemail. If you press the microphone button,
you'll get 30 seconds to record a voice note. You
can have a few different cracks at it, but just
know that it cuts off at 30 seconds. because often
people will get cut off. But we thought this is
a great way for people to, I mean, we've tried
calling people on the podcast and things like that. It
can often be quite tricky, but this is a way
for people to get involved in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah. Look, and can we also, that's I think the
best way to put the feedback through. But I mean,
I can say that we record the podcast about 9.30
most days. So if you, AM, so if you do
want to be like live on the podcast, you can
always give us a call on 0800 HODAKI and We
may or may not answer the phone. I'm pretty sure
(02:10):
if it's like 9.30 and the phone rings, we'll answer
it on the pod. We'll do our best. If you
want to be part of it live, then, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And that's just a little insider information.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, because the other thing is we've got the conclave.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We've got the conclave, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
That's the other thing you can share on the conclave.
That's the Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You can, yeah, yeah. All right, and I believe we've
got four pieces of raw, open, honest, unfiltered feedback to
get through.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Trent.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Trent.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yours, please.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I'm enjoying a nice drive down from Kaitaia all the
way back to the shore.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The sun is shining.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Been a nice bunch of yarns, and you guys are
making a longer drive that much better.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh, look, that's just a nice... Bloody message from Trent.
I was waiting for that to go.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What were you thinking? I was so tense. I was
so tense.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I thought he was about to flip it around and go,
and this drive sucks more because you guys are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But he didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Trent didn't do that at all.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You have no idea how much I needed that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh, Trent. What a gem of a person.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
What does it say about us, who we are as people,
our listeners, that we were both... braced for that I
was so tense I could feel it I was like
where is this going to go there could be a
second part he might come back in off the top
turnbuckle after this I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well there's the other part of it like we don't
know what the other three bits of feedback.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Are or if any of them are from Trent again

going to continue feedback Friday's a real winner alright who

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Bye-bye. Oh, Cameron.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
There's plenty of smoke that's passed through that body.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Can we run that back? Can we hear that again?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I can just hear the lungs.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh, hey, Bec.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
It's Cameron.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Happy 52nd, I think it is.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Bye-bye.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Oh, I like that guy.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
He's one of Beck's old mates.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, is he?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's her 50th. It was her 50th. It wasn't her 52nd.
Don't age her.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
35th.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh, not that old. Word at her feet, silly areas.

G'day, Windows.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Welcome back.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Love yous. F yous.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Anyway, you seem busy.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I love you and love you.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Thanks very much. Oh, well, I've kept it very short
on Feedback Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That was a whole lot of positive feedback. We were
talking before about where our listeners are by country.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think Zoe's got access to that. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I'm assuming that the highest percentage of our listeners, here's
just a bit of guesswork from me.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Are we going to work backwards, do you reckon? Should
we go through the countries and try and work our
way backwards?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, I reckon. I say New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Number two, I'm going to say Australia.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Yep. Australia. Number three, I think.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think the Kiwi diaspora in the United Kingdom. Give
me the UK.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
No, I think the same thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Can you see my screens here again?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, I can't. I can't see.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Zoe, he can't read the screen.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I can't. I can't. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He can't read that far. Okay. So, Aussie, England.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And then.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And then. I think, in my heart of hearts, if
I'm being 100% honest with myself and you guys, the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I would have thought the U.S. I'm just going by
kind of country size and the most obvious, kept in
obvious countries. U.S.? It is, yep.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Hey, okay. We're three from three. Well, we're four from four.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Okay, next. Now, this is where it gets a bit interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Give me the Republic of South Africa.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Really?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, give me the People's Republic of South Africa.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm not going to take that. I'm going to go...
I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Shout out to our listeners in the States, though. Lee Ibanez. Ibanez?
I know she's a big fan.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, she makes the guitars, doesn't she?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, I think she sent in a video of some
American birds... And wanted us to decide whether they're on
the Fakamana's or the Nose Kai.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Really? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm going to go. This is where it gets interesting
about here. I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Do you know why I say South Africa? Because we
hit the algo there so hard. So I wonder.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I think we've got bugger all.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
They've got similar sense of humor to us, the South Africans.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
South Africans.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
South Africans do?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I think that's an insult to us. To us? Yeah.
Tell me the famous South African comedians out there.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Ursula Carlson.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Apart from Ursula Carlson, who's a New Zealander?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't need to come up with another one because
that was such a good example.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
There's none. There's a great- It's like South African musicians.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's like German comedians.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Well, the fact that they speak in German probably doesn't help.
You know, that's why Mr.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Bean was so successful. How have we ended up here?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm going to go Spain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh, Spain. Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Do you think one of you two is correct?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, now I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, I think I'm correct.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And obviously, I think I'm correct.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
No, you're both wrong. Do you want to guess again?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Argentina.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Nope. Oh, team, come on.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Can you give us a part of the globe?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I could, but that would make it too easy. Okay, Fiji. So,
hold on. New Zealand? New Zealand? Australia, England, the United
States of America.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, here's my question for you, which we'll just... Is
the country a predominantly English-speaking country or not?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yes. It is? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Canada.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of course it's Canada. Obvious one. I was going to
say that, but I was like, no, that's too obvious.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Okay. Now we're getting into the weird bits and pieces,
so who knows after that. But I think top five's quite... I.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Reckon keep going. Do the top 10, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, so we need another predominantly English-speaking... I mean, does...
How does the website list countries? Like, for example, is
it England or the UK?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
The UK.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's the UK, so that's Scotland as well, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
So it doesn't include Ireland. It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay, so then Ireland.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You're wrong, but it is in the top 10.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay. Does our website... recognize palestine as a country i
can't zoe i must press you on this it doesn't
no okay.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
All i can see here is the top team okay
and it's not there.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay okay does it recognize the as an independent sovereign
nation do you want a hint here yes please Do
you have a hint?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, give us, like, I think that, are they all
the top? It's in Europe, but not English speaking.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Not English speaking.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Ah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
See, I think this is, here's Spain.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Spain.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
No. France.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Deutschland.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Deutschland.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
So the first non-predominantly English-speaking country on here is Alemannia.
It is Germany.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you think that's because you've done some things recently
in German?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Guten Tag to everyone in Germany.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think it's because I'm Nazi Bavarian.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, you do speak. For a person who has only
been to Germany once, you do speak remarkably good Deutsch.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, fluent.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So good, man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah. Strudel, for example. That's just one of the examples.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Ah, that is good.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Gesundheit.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Leberstrom.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So these are some of the- Ah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay. So are we out of Europe yet or are
we staying in Europe?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You're out of Europe now.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay. United Arab Emirates.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Ooh. Ooh. No.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Show me the- Geez, that's not a bad one. I
don't mind that. A lot of expats. Yeah, expats. I
know at least one person who should be listening. Is
it in Asia? It is. Asia.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Hong Kong.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
China. China. Japan. Japan. Japan.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Because, again, quite a few expats in Japan.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Big konnichiwa to them.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Although, interestingly, in Japan, you can never be a Japanese citizen.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Nah, G-Lane's brother, the original G-Lane, lived over there for decades. Yeah.
Married a Japanese woman.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What do they call him?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
A gaijin. You cannot be a Japanese citizen. They're like, nah.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Big arigato to our Japanese listeners. Does that mean thank you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Arigato gozaimasu.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Arigato gozaimasu.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
We're leaving.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Watashi wa Manaia.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We're what?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
We're leaving Asia now.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're leaving Asia and we're heading into South America.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We are heading into the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We are heading into Africa.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
No.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Back into Europe we go.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh. What?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
She gave it away.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Not anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She gave it away.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, okay. There we go. Shout out to our Irish friends.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Want Gerry and Manoa waiting for you every morning? Switch
on auto-download for the Hauraki Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Okay, and then now we are into Central America.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, so Belize off the market. Back to the Middle
East we go now. No. Do we need to?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Look at this.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So the point of this exercise for me, I want
to see where we're lacking and see if we can
make up some numbers internationally.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Great airport here.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Oh, Singapore.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm liking the- Singapore. I'm liking the guessing.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Singapore. How many listeners do we have in Singapore?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
77.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's way more than.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I- Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Shout out to the Singapore crew. Interesting place, hey, Singapore.
You've been to Singapore?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I have not been to Singapore. Oh, I might have
been through the airport, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Great airport, as I said.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Great airport.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Probably the best airport in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh, it's lit, man.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, then I haven't been there, no.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Because the junta who run Singapore- They just go, yep,
we're going to spend heaps on this. They just do
whatever they want, basically.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But they also do genuinely, because it's not a dictatorship,
even though it is a military dictatorship of sorts.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They move jobs, and then they get new people, and
they pay their people who are the politicians who aren't elected.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah. Heaps. So it's a great- Obscenely wealthy country.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh, massively, because there's hardly any people there.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah. It's the port. It's the main thoroughfare for just
about everything.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But it didn't used to be rich. It didn't used
to be anything.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It didn't used to be.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It didn't used to be anything. They've turned it into
a rich place. But they also genuinely have, the people
who run the jaunt generally have the Singapore's best interest. Well,
they think. They've got Singapore's best interest at heart and
they don't spend any money debating stuff. They're just like,
this is what we're doing. We're going to do it.
And we just do it. And then nobody gets in
the way. They don't have to apply for anything. They
don't throw anything out to the community to work out
(14:26):
what the community think about it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
How freeing would that be as a community? I've got
to be honest, being part of a democracy sometimes stresses
me out. I don't have an opinion on half this shit.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I don't know. It may be... I don't know who
to vote for this year. For the longest time, people went, well,
what if you don't like the Junta? Well, just go
somewhere else. But.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Would it kill us to fucking run a Junta? Maybe
we should run a.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I've talked about this.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Do we need to run a Junta? If you had to...
Jot that down. We'll fucking... We need to take this
on air. Anyone willing to run a Junta?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
If the Junta got results... Then you probably would get
behind the junta. But if the junta were shit, then
that would be a bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Hard to oust the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
No, you can't oust them.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can't oust the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You can't oust them.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, you've got to junta the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
But in that situation, you just leave. You just go
somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
The rare double junta.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
If you don't like the junta, then the junta got
to take note. Like if people are just leaving it
en masse, then clearly there's something going on wrong. I
think you've got to have some kind of thing which
means that you can at least express your opinion.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Whereas you can't express your opinion against the junta at all.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Have we just done that? Are we about to lose
a few listeners in Singapore? Reach out.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So we love the Junta.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
If you're a Singaporean listener, feel free to fire us
through a voicemail. Let us know if anything we said
was remotely accurate just then.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Do you want to know number 10? Or do you
want to just quickly have a quick guess?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Are we going back to Europe? Spain. Give me the
Spanish Netherlands also known as Holland.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Nine.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
France.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Oui. Ah.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Do you know what's crazy is it's all places we've
been on.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Trips.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Maybe that stuff works.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Oh, you reckon?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, we went to France. We went to Paris for
the Football World Cup. That's where I shared a room
with Leslie Matthew Heath. And this is the quaint little
beautiful hotel in central Paris, a couple of blocks away
from the Arc de Triomphe, which you may know as
the Arc de Triomphe.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And Heath and I were sharing a room.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Or the Ark of Triumph.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Or the Ark of Triumph. Yeah. You may know it.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Napoleon. When Napoleon won the Crimean War, yeah, they worked
it up.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, somebody tried. Anyway, so me and Heath were sharing
a room, and we are both snorers. That'll shock no one.
But he had, like, industrial quantities of melatonin? Melanin? Melatonin.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
MDMA?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
MDMA, sure. But no, melatonin.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's the sleeping one, right?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And so what we would do is each night when
we got back into our hotel room, it was a
race to the bottom. It was first person to get
to sleep gets to sleep. The other person will have
to listen. Yeah, gets snored into oblivion. Gets snored. Gets snored.
And if we timed it perfectly, then we both got
to sleep. Now, one night, I melatonin myself into oblivion.
(17:15):
He does too. We go to sleep together. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You go to sleep together?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well- Actually, when we got into our room, it was one.
You know when you book a double bed and it's
often two single beds pushed together? It was that. We
separated them and moved them to the sides of the
thing because we don't get down like that.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Right. There's famously no room in those French hotels.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh, my God. They're tiny. The elevator could only fit
one person in it. Yeah, that's true. So claustrophobic.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Because people were about three feet tall when they made
all those buildings.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
People were small and just people didn't stay in hotels
for long.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And- G Lane and Joe Jerry, they did not separate
the beds. They kept them together and installed a pillow wall.
That's what they told us. Sure they did. Long and
short of all of that is we're both asleep. Heath
wakes up in the middle of the night and needs
to go to the toilet. It's just in his undies.
He gets up. He walks to where the toilet was.
(18:11):
So it's not really a hallway, but basically he's standing
in a small space There are three doors, one to
his left, one to his right, one in front of him.
One goes to a bathroom. One goes to a toilet.
One goes out into the hallway. Have a guess which
one he picks. He turns around. He's immediately locked out.
(18:32):
The door shuts itself behind him, big heavy door. He
starts banging on the door, but I'm melatonin into oblivion,
so I don't hear a damn thing. He is now
locked out of his room in a flash fancy Parisian
hotel in his undies. And so he had to go
down to the, it's fashion week, mind you, in Paris.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He goes down to reception and all the fashion weekers
are coming home from their nightclubs.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
There was a receptionist?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
There was a receptionist on reception, but he had to
wait for them to serve all these other people first
before he.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the gentleman in his undies, please.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, I've locked myself out.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Then hop back in the one-man elevator where people can
see you the whole way.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, I've heard of a very similar story. I mean,
I've not done that, but I've been confused in a
few hotel rooms in my time. And luckily, when I've
opened the door, realized what I've done. But I, of course,
was chatting to a person we all know who did
the same thing. But when they locked themselves up, they
desperately needed to go to the toilet. That's why they
were going to the toilet. And they couldn't get off
(19:35):
their floor. And they couldn't get in the elevator because
the lift wouldn't work without a code, without the pass.
And they couldn't get back in their room. And they
were trapped in the, so they had to go wheezing
the pot plant. But I mean, what else do you
do in that situation? At least you went wheezing the
pot plant.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I suppose. So that's France. That's the top 10,
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah, there's quite a few countries where we have one
single listener.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Okay, let's go through them.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
What's the weirdest one?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Horaki Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (20:09):

Speaker 4 (20:16):
Do you want me to read all the countries?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, please. Because this is our growth opportunity. This is
where we're looking.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Zambia.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Okay, we need to be doing more work in Zambia.
If I gave you a map with no letters on it,
could you point to Zambia?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Zambia. Central Africa.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, that's actually southern. I'm picking East Coast. Just above
sort of Zimbabwe. Yeah, somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Namibia.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Uruguay.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Uruguay? Uruguay. Yeah, Uruguay. Uruguay? Uruguay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Uganda?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh, Uganda? We got one person listening in Uganda? Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Must be a bot.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I would love to hear from any of these people.
If you are that single listener from... Well, maybe they
just have a VPN.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That's the other option, right?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Why would you set your VPN to Uganda?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I don't know. I was just saying it could be
an option.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
No, it's a good option. If you are the Ugandan,
if you are the Zambian, if you are the... What
was the other one?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I'm pretty sure Kamal the Giant was from Uganda, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
As a wrestler.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
WWF wrestler back in the 80s.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Kamal?
Speaker 4 (21:25):

Massive pissheads. I wonder if that's our man. Remember our
man who called in the Romanian?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Although he's in Tauranga.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Teo.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Theodore. Theodore.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Theodore.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Theodore.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
But again, his phone could be.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It could be still set to Romania.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Maybe it was Zyga.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Do you know Zyga?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:04):

there's five.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
We've played this before.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Oh, we have done this.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Uzbekistan. Turkmenistan. Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan. Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan. Turkmenistan is
one that people always forget about.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Tajikistan.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Tajikistan, yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Two in Jamaica. Two in Cambodia. Two in Bolivia. Two
in Algeria. Going into the threes. Papua New Guinea. Lebanon.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, hold on. PNG, I think we really need to
tap into. PNG?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
PNG.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Well, they're bringing another team into the NRL. You know,
I just think there's an opportunity there.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Three in Jordan. Three in the Cote d'Ivoire. And then
we've got four in the Ukraine, four in Monaco, four
in Kenya, four in Ethiopia, four in Belgium, five in Turkey.
Five in Iceland and five in Croatia.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
If one of the people from Turkey could confirm my
fact from yesterday that Turkey, the meat in Turkey, the
country is called India.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Don't dead name Turkey.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh, Turkey.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Six in Vanuatu. Six in Poland. Six in Morocco. Six
in Kazakhstan. Six in China. Seven, Philippines, Israel, Ecuador, Denmark,
Cook Islands.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Six in China is an opportunity. I mean, famously over
a billion people in China. We only got six of them.
If we can carve off. What's wrong with us?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I know someone who lives in China. Yanxi better be
listening to this. I think Yanxi wouldn't. But, you know,
maybe she could. Yanxi, she used to work on my
partner's dairy farm.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
All right.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Do you want to keep going here?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
We've got eight. No, I think that's actually enough. Because
we're into the thousands now, aren't we?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
I can also give you by city for New Zealand,
by example.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I think what we need to do is I think
there's definitely some opportunities for Asia. I think there's an
opportunity in India. I think there's trade opportunities for us
in the Middle East as well.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
We haven't heard from India. There might be heaps.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
India 15.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So India and China, I think, are the two big
growth opportunities we've identified here. If you are a listener
to this podcast from one of those countries that only
has one or two, I would love to hear from you.
We'd love some feedback. Is there something we could do to–
we could do to service your neck of the woods.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
A bit better. Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Have a good weekend. Have a good trip, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Thanks very much. I'll be thinking of you.
Speaker 5 (25:45):
Want Jerry and Manai waiting for you every morning? Switch
on auto download for the Hauraki breakfast podcast.
It's Feedback Friday on the Daily Wounder. The Daily Wounder
is what we're running with. We're taking the Daily.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Wounder for a run. Yeah, and we are asking for
some open, honest, raw feedback. No sacred cows? Or do
(00:29):
you want some sacred cows?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I want sacred cows.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You want a few sacred cows? I think some cows-
What cows do you think should be sacred?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Oh, dude, I think there's always- The idea that there's
no such thing as a sacred cow, I think that's dishonest.
I think there's always going to be some sacred cows.
Will you address the fact that maybe they're a sacred
cow and you don't want to go there? Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I was only going to say, look, there are some
sacred cows, but- So is.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
This a safe space for us? If someone sends in
a voicemail and wants to address something that we think
is a sacred cow, we're within our rights to not
address it?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We just go, what we do is we just go moo. Okay. Okay.
And at that point, you know that that's a sacred cow. Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That you don't want to discuss. That you want to, yeah, okay. Okay.
What have we got? What have we got from the peeps? Well,
so we got onto the Conclave yesterday and we said,
and this is a feature that we've been using to
great effect on the Agenda podcast, but if you listen
on iHeartRadio, there is a microphone button on the home player.
Even if you don't, you can just go onto iHeartRadio
(01:28):
and record a voicemail. If you press the microphone button,
you'll get 30 seconds to record a voice note. You
can have a few different cracks at it, but just
know that it cuts off at 30 seconds. because often
people will get cut off. But we thought this is
a great way for people to, I mean, we've tried
calling people on the podcast and things like that. It
can often be quite tricky, but this is a way
for people to get involved in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah. Look, and can we also, that's I think the
best way to put the feedback through. But I mean,
I can say that we record the podcast about 9.30
most days. So if you, AM, so if you do
want to be like live on the podcast, you can
always give us a call on 0800 HODAKI and We
may or may not answer the phone. I'm pretty sure
(02:10):
if it's like 9.30 and the phone rings, we'll answer
it on the pod. We'll do our best. If you
want to be part of it live, then, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And that's just a little insider information.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, because the other thing is we've got the conclave.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We've got the conclave, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
That's the other thing you can share on the conclave.
That's the Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You can, yeah, yeah. All right, and I believe we've
got four pieces of raw, open, honest, unfiltered feedback to
get through.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Trent.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Trent.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yours, please.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
I'm enjoying a nice drive down from Kaitaia all the
way back to the shore.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
The sun is shining.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Been a nice bunch of yarns, and you guys are
making a longer drive that much better.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh, look, that's just a nice... Bloody message from Trent.
I was waiting for that to go.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What were you thinking? I was so tense. I was
so tense.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I thought he was about to flip it around and go,
and this drive sucks more because you guys are.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But he didn't.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Trent didn't do that at all.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You have no idea how much I needed that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Oh, Trent. What a gem of a person.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
What does it say about us, who we are as people,
our listeners, that we were both... braced for that I
was so tense I could feel it I was like
where is this going to go there could be a
second part he might come back in off the top
turnbuckle after this I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well there's the other part of it like we don't
know what the other three bits of feedback.
Speaker 2 (03:41):

I love you and love you.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Thanks very much. Oh, well, I've kept it very short
on Feedback Friday.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That was a whole lot of positive feedback. We were
talking before about where our listeners are by country.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think Zoe's got access to that. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I'm assuming that the highest percentage of our listeners, here's
just a bit of guesswork from me.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Are we going to work backwards, do you reckon? Should
we go through the countries and try and work our
way backwards?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, I reckon. I say New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Number one.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Number two, I'm going to say Australia.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Yep. Australia. Number three, I think.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think the Kiwi diaspora in the United Kingdom. Give
me the UK.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
No, I think the same thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Can you see my screens here again?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, I can't. I can't see.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Zoe, he can't read the screen.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I can't. I can't. Sorry, guys.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
He can't read that far. Okay. So, Aussie, England.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
And then.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And then. I think, in my heart of hearts, if
I'm being 100% honest with myself and you guys, the
United States of America.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I would have thought the U.S. I'm just going by
kind of country size and the most obvious, kept in
obvious countries. U.S.? It is, yep.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Hey, okay. We're three from three. Well, we're four from four.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Okay, next. Now, this is where it gets a bit interesting.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Give me the Republic of South Africa.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Really?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, give me the People's Republic of South Africa.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I'm not going to take that. I'm going to go...
I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Shout out to our listeners in the States, though. Lee Ibanez. Ibanez?
I know she's a big fan.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, she makes the guitars, doesn't she?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, I think she sent in a video of some
American birds... And wanted us to decide whether they're on
the Fakamana's or the Nose Kai.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Really? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm going to go. This is where it gets interesting
about here. I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Do you know why I say South Africa? Because we
hit the algo there so hard. So I wonder.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I think we've got bugger all.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
They've got similar sense of humor to us, the South Africans.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
What?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
South Africans.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
South Africans do?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
I think that's an insult to us. To us? Yeah.
Tell me the famous South African comedians out there.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Ursula Carlson.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Apart from Ursula Carlson, who's a New Zealander?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I don't need to come up with another one because
that was such a good example.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
There's none. There's a great- It's like South African musicians.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's like German comedians.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Well, the fact that they speak in German probably doesn't help.
You know, that's why Mr.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Bean was so successful. How have we ended up here?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm going to go Spain.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh, Spain. Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Do you think one of you two is correct?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, now I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, I think I'm correct.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And obviously, I think I'm correct.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
No, you're both wrong. Do you want to guess again?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Argentina.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Nope. Oh, team, come on.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Can you give us a part of the globe?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I could, but that would make it too easy. Okay, Fiji. So,
hold on. New Zealand? New Zealand? Australia, England, the United
States of America.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, here's my question for you, which we'll just... Is
the country a predominantly English-speaking country or not?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yes. It is? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Canada.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yes, thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Of course it's Canada. Obvious one. I was going to
say that, but I was like, no, that's too obvious.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Okay. Now we're getting into the weird bits and pieces,
so who knows after that. But I think top five's quite... I.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Reckon keep going. Do the top 10, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, so we need another predominantly English-speaking... I mean, does...
How does the website list countries? Like, for example, is
it England or the UK?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
The UK.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's the UK, so that's Scotland as well, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
So it doesn't include Ireland. It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Okay, so then Ireland.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
You're wrong, but it is in the top 10.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay. Does our website... recognize palestine as a country i
can't zoe i must press you on this it doesn't
no okay.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
All i can see here is the top team okay
and it's not there.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay okay does it recognize the as an independent sovereign
nation do you want a hint here yes please Do
you have a hint?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Well, give us, like, I think that, are they all
the top? It's in Europe, but not English speaking.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Not English speaking.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Ah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
See, I think this is, here's Spain.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Spain.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
No. France.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Deutschland.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Deutschland.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What?
Speaker 4 (10:20):
So the first non-predominantly English-speaking country on here is Alemannia.
It is Germany.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you think that's because you've done some things recently
in German?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Guten Tag to everyone in Germany.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think it's because I'm Nazi Bavarian.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, you do speak. For a person who has only
been to Germany once, you do speak remarkably good Deutsch.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, fluent.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So good, man. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah. Strudel, for example. That's just one of the examples.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Ah, that is good.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Gesundheit.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Leberstrom.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Kindergarten.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So these are some of the- Ah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Okay. So are we out of Europe yet or are
we staying in Europe?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You're out of Europe now.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay. United Arab Emirates.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Ooh. Ooh. No.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Show me the- Geez, that's not a bad one. I
don't mind that. A lot of expats. Yeah, expats. I
know at least one person who should be listening. Is
it in Asia? It is. Asia.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Hong Kong.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
China. China. Japan. Japan. Japan.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Because, again, quite a few expats in Japan.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Big konnichiwa to them.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Although, interestingly, in Japan, you can never be a Japanese citizen.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
How's that?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Nah, G-Lane's brother, the original G-Lane, lived over there for decades. Yeah.
Married a Japanese woman.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What do they call him?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
A gaijin. You cannot be a Japanese citizen. They're like, nah.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Big arigato to our Japanese listeners. Does that mean thank you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Arigato gozaimasu.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Arigato gozaimasu.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
We're leaving.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Watashi wa Manaia.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
We're what?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
We're leaving Asia now.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
We're leaving Asia and we're heading into South America.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We are heading into the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
We are heading into Africa.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
No.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Back into Europe we go.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Oh. What?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
She gave it away.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Not anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She gave it away.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, okay. There we go. Shout out to our Irish friends.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Want Gerry and Manoa waiting for you every morning? Switch
on auto-download for the Hauraki Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Okay, and then now we are into Central America.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, so Belize off the market. Back to the Middle
East we go now. No. Do we need to?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Look at this.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So the point of this exercise for me, I want
to see where we're lacking and see if we can
make up some numbers internationally.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Great airport here.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Oh, Singapore.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I'm liking the- Singapore. I'm liking the guessing.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Singapore. How many listeners do we have in Singapore?
Speaker 4 (13:10):
77.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's way more than.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I- Wow.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Shout out to the Singapore crew. Interesting place, hey, Singapore.
You've been to Singapore?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I have not been to Singapore. Oh, I might have
been through the airport, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Great airport, as I said.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Great airport.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Probably the best airport in the world.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh, it's lit, man.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, then I haven't been there, no.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Because the junta who run Singapore- They just go, yep,
we're going to spend heaps on this. They just do
whatever they want, basically.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But they also do genuinely, because it's not a dictatorship,
even though it is a military dictatorship of sorts.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
They move jobs, and then they get new people, and
they pay their people who are the politicians who aren't elected.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah. Heaps. So it's a great- Obscenely wealthy country.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Oh, massively, because there's hardly any people there.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah. It's the port. It's the main thoroughfare for just
about everything.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
But it didn't used to be rich. It didn't used
to be anything.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It didn't used to be.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It didn't used to be anything. They've turned it into
a rich place. But they also genuinely have, the people
who run the jaunt generally have the Singapore's best interest. Well,
they think. They've got Singapore's best interest at heart and
they don't spend any money debating stuff. They're just like,
this is what we're doing. We're going to do it.
And we just do it. And then nobody gets in
the way. They don't have to apply for anything. They
don't throw anything out to the community to work out
(14:26):
what the community think about it.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
How freeing would that be as a community? I've got
to be honest, being part of a democracy sometimes stresses
me out. I don't have an opinion on half this shit.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I don't know. It may be... I don't know who
to vote for this year. For the longest time, people went, well,
what if you don't like the Junta? Well, just go
somewhere else. But.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Would it kill us to fucking run a Junta? Maybe
we should run a.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I've talked about this.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Do we need to run a Junta? If you had to...
Jot that down. We'll fucking... We need to take this
on air. Anyone willing to run a Junta?
Speaker 3 (14:53):
If the Junta got results... Then you probably would get
behind the junta. But if the junta were shit, then
that would be a bit of a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Hard to oust the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
No, you can't oust them.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You can't oust the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You can't oust them.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, you've got to junta the junta.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
But in that situation, you just leave. You just go
somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
The rare double junta.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
If you don't like the junta, then the junta got
to take note. Like if people are just leaving it
en masse, then clearly there's something going on wrong. I
think you've got to have some kind of thing which
means that you can at least express your opinion.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Whereas you can't express your opinion against the junta at all.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Have we just done that? Are we about to lose
a few listeners in Singapore? Reach out.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So we love the Junta.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
If you're a Singaporean listener, feel free to fire us
through a voicemail. Let us know if anything we said
was remotely accurate just then.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Do you want to know number 10? Or do you
want to just quickly have a quick guess?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Are we going back to Europe? Spain. Give me the
Spanish Netherlands also known as Holland.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Nine.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
France.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Oui. Ah.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Do you know what's crazy is it's all places we've
been on.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Trips.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Maybe that stuff works.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Oh, you reckon?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Well, we went to France. We went to Paris for
the Football World Cup. That's where I shared a room
with Leslie Matthew Heath. And this is the quaint little
beautiful hotel in central Paris, a couple of blocks away
from the Arc de Triomphe, which you may know as
the Arc de Triomphe.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And Heath and I were sharing a room.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Or the Ark of Triumph.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Or the Ark of Triumph. Yeah. You may know it.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Napoleon. When Napoleon won the Crimean War, yeah, they worked
it up.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, somebody tried. Anyway, so me and Heath were sharing
a room, and we are both snorers. That'll shock no one.
But he had, like, industrial quantities of melatonin? Melanin? Melatonin.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
MDMA?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
MDMA, sure. But no, melatonin.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
That's the sleeping one, right?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And so what we would do is each night when
we got back into our hotel room, it was a
race to the bottom. It was first person to get
to sleep gets to sleep. The other person will have
to listen. Yeah, gets snored into oblivion. Gets snored. Gets snored.
And if we timed it perfectly, then we both got
to sleep. Now, one night, I melatonin myself into oblivion.
(17:15):
He does too. We go to sleep together. Perfect.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You go to sleep together?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Well- Actually, when we got into our room, it was one.
You know when you book a double bed and it's
often two single beds pushed together? It was that. We
separated them and moved them to the sides of the
thing because we don't get down like that.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Right. There's famously no room in those French hotels.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Oh, my God. They're tiny. The elevator could only fit
one person in it. Yeah, that's true. So claustrophobic.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Because people were about three feet tall when they made
all those buildings.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
People were small and just people didn't stay in hotels
for long.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And- G Lane and Joe Jerry, they did not separate
the beds. They kept them together and installed a pillow wall.
That's what they told us. Sure they did. Long and
short of all of that is we're both asleep. Heath
wakes up in the middle of the night and needs
to go to the toilet. It's just in his undies.
He gets up. He walks to where the toilet was.
(18:11):
So it's not really a hallway, but basically he's standing
in a small space There are three doors, one to
his left, one to his right, one in front of him.
One goes to a bathroom. One goes to a toilet.
One goes out into the hallway. Have a guess which
one he picks. He turns around. He's immediately locked out.
(18:32):
The door shuts itself behind him, big heavy door. He
starts banging on the door, but I'm melatonin into oblivion,
so I don't hear a damn thing. He is now
locked out of his room in a flash fancy Parisian
hotel in his undies. And so he had to go
down to the, it's fashion week, mind you, in Paris.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
He goes down to reception and all the fashion weekers
are coming home from their nightclubs.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
There was a receptionist?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
There was a receptionist on reception, but he had to
wait for them to serve all these other people first
before he.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the gentleman in his undies, please.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, I've locked myself out.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Oh, no.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Then hop back in the one-man elevator where people can
see you the whole way.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, I've heard of a very similar story. I mean,
I've not done that, but I've been confused in a
few hotel rooms in my time. And luckily, when I've
opened the door, realized what I've done. But I, of course,
was chatting to a person we all know who did
the same thing. But when they locked themselves up, they
desperately needed to go to the toilet. That's why they
were going to the toilet. And they couldn't get off
(19:35):
their floor. And they couldn't get in the elevator because
the lift wouldn't work without a code, without the pass.
And they couldn't get back in their room. And they
were trapped in the, so they had to go wheezing
the pot plant. But I mean, what else do you
do in that situation? At least you went wheezing the
pot plant.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I suppose. So that's France. That's the top 10,
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yeah, there's quite a few countries where we have one
single listener.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Okay, let's go through them.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
What's the weirdest one?
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Horaki Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Want Gerry and Manoa waiting for you every morning? Switch
on auto-download for the Hauraki Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Do you want me to read all the countries?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, please. Because this is our growth opportunity. This is
where we're looking.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Zambia.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Okay, we need to be doing more work in Zambia.
If I gave you a map with no letters on it,
could you point to Zambia?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Zambia. Central Africa.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
No, that's actually southern. I'm picking East Coast. Just above
sort of Zimbabwe. Yeah, somewhere around there.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Namibia.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Uruguay.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Uruguay? Uruguay. Yeah, Uruguay. Uruguay? Uruguay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Uganda?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Oh, Uganda? We got one person listening in Uganda? Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Must be a bot.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I would love to hear from any of these people.
If you are that single listener from... Well, maybe they
just have a VPN.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
That's the other option, right?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Why would you set your VPN to Uganda?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
I don't know. I was just saying it could be
an option.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
No, it's a good option. If you are the Ugandan,
if you are the Zambian, if you are the... What
was the other one?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
I'm pretty sure Kamal the Giant was from Uganda, wasn't he?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
As a wrestler.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
WWF wrestler back in the 80s.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Kamal?
Speaker 4 (21:25):

Senegal. Romania. Puerto.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Big drinkers, big drinkers, Romanians. Huge drinkers.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Massive pissheads. I wonder if that's our man. Remember our
man who called in the Romanian?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Oh, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Although he's in Tauranga.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Teo.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Theodore. Theodore.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Theodore.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Theodore.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
But again, his phone could be.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
It could be still set to Romania.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Maybe it was Zyga.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Do you know Zyga?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Jigga from season 13 alone.

Apparently so.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Shout out to you.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Brunei.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I can even give you more specific. Oh, God, I
don't know how to say that.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Six in China is an opportunity. I mean, famously over
a billion people in China. We only got six of them.
If we can carve off. What's wrong with us?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I know someone who lives in China. Yanxi better be
listening to this. I think Yanxi wouldn't. But, you know,
maybe she could. Yanxi, she used to work on my
partner's dairy farm.

by example.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
I think what we need to do is I think
there's definitely some opportunities for Asia. I think there's an
opportunity in India. I think there's trade opportunities for us
in the Middle East as well.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
We haven't heard from India. There might be heaps.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
India 15.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
So India and China, I think, are the two big
growth opportunities we've identified here. If you are a listener
to this podcast from one of those countries that only
has one or two, I would love to hear from you.
We'd love some feedback. Is there something we could do to–
we could do to service your neck of the woods.
