This guy's a prude.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Gary and Manai, the Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning, everyone. Welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast, Wednesday
the 9th of September, 2026. Big news there about the
Albatross chicks.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Yes, I heard they have been flapping their wings. Is
that true? Are those rumours true?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
No, that is true. So that's news. That's new news.
Albatrosses flapping their wings.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'll tell you what I'm interested in. Shout out to
Manawatu in the Whanganui District for slashing the tyres.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Was that speed cameras? Is that what that was? Speed cameras, man,
they really inflame people, eh?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Because it's like, so if I'm the only person on
the road and I'm doing 55 and it's a 50
and there's no one else here and it's at night
and you caught me because you set a camera up, like,
who's the victim here?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I feel like that's entrapment.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I think as well they're mobile speed cameras, so they're
ones that they take along on a trailer and then
they plop somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right, not after the good fuck of the man of
the two have gotten hold of them, they're not.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
No, exactly. Good on those people. But I also, for me,
it's a bit like the same as the parking wardens
that drive around in cars that don't get out. I
reckon that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think you've got to walk. You've got to be
on foot. There's got to be an element of jeopardy.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah. It's got to be person versus car, and that's fine.
You know, like you get a ticket, park in a
place for too long. Absolutely, that's fair enough. But the
idea that you just randomly drive around in a car
and just pick everything up, that's not fair.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That's not fair.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I've got to have a fighting chance. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I think with these speed cameras, I think the
cops should be in the car. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But if it's a fixed one, it better be up high.
So you can't reach it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Okay, all right, should we get into the kickoff? This morning,
I would like a bit of Kings of Leon, Charma.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Now, this could be pretty harsh at 6.04, but this
song's been stuck in my head for a long time,
so I want to hear Kings of Leon, but old-school
Kings of Leon.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
0800 HODAKI, 0800 428725. Give us a call if you
want to take the kickoff, decide which song kicks off
the show.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh, good song, this, by Kings of Leon.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Can we hear this first?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
No.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
What are you thinking, Jerry?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm thinking You Only Live Once. By The Strokes. Also
known as YOLO.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I thought it was a Drake.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Song.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Give us a call, 0800 HODOKI, 0800 428 725 and
bear with us this morning. Ruda's gone down, he's succumbed
to his illness again.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
So we're flying with one wing. Tied behind our back.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, thoughts and prayers for Ruta, I believe, at the
A & E last night. So hopefully he's okay.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Contracted the super gonorrhea.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know if our phones are working. Maybe they
haven't been turned on.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Does Ruta usually turn those on when he comes in?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Normally Ruta turns those on.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Rock, paper, scissors.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Ready?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Rock, paper, scissors. Well, hold on. That was a bit.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Rock, paper, scissors.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Jerry's one. He's gone scissors to my paper.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Scissors V paper.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
A little bit suspicious with a little double throw at
the end there. I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's called balking.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Jerry and Manai, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'm just looking across at you, Manai, and you look
slightly different again this morning. It's the gutters in it.
And that to me means one thing. That means that
you've been doing more anhyroxing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm a member of the, I don't know if
they've accepted me as one of their own.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But yeah, I'm a member of the High Rocks community.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Had an important milestone in my High Rocks career yesterday. Obviously,
last week, I think, was the first time that Zoe
and I performed in High Rocks. And for those of
you playing along at home, it's just the gym across
the road from us has rebranded one of their classes
as High Rocks, but changed nothing else about the class.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I actually don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's the same.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Because isn't part of high rocks throwing balls around and running?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, normally throwing balls against walls. I think the idea
is it's a hybrid between running and distance running and...
And strength. Yeah, cardio and strength. But I would have
thought that there's some ball throwing. I mean, for people
who are listening who don't know what high rocks is.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
You know what? They probably better not know. I know
I was happier.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's a form of exercise is what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That they've turned into... A competition. I'm going to stop
short of calling it a sport.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, you can travel around the world to do it.
My sister-in-law does it.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
She competes all around the world.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yes, she competes with one of my mates, actually. But yes,
and it's the one where they throw the balls against
the wall. You would have seen this. For some reason,
the men must perform shirtless. There's a running element of it.
There's the big ski bloody things and pull-ups and all sorts. Anyway,
so the Half-Assed Fitness class I go to across the
road has rebranded it as that and changed nothing else.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So I'm now a member of the High Rocks community.
Shirtless content on its way. Stand by. I have my
phone on a tripod in the corner. Oh, good, good.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, I think the other thing that High Rocks competitions
do very well is that they have people who take
photos and then you can get the photos and then
you can have the photos sent to you and then
you can put it up on your social media.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And you look sick.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They've got professional, proper photographers and they've got interesting graphics
that they use.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And it's like black and white and a little bit
grainy and blurry.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's really smart.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
It is.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
It's smart.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It is, because it's its own internal marketing machine. Anyway,
because the people look amazing. It gets you in incredible shape,
which is why I started going, because I was like,
these are the most shredded people I've ever seen in
my life. If I go there, and I was right, evidently,
then I'll start looking like that.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I don't even think you need to go. I mean,
I think the way gyms normally work is you just
buy the membership, and once you've bought the membership, you
just look like that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It just happens.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That gym across the road, I believe, has the most
dormant memberships in the country.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Central Auckland gym, yeah, it would be.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So anyway, yesterday, the important milestone that I hit, a
big part of the High Rocks community, from my understanding,
at least from what I've seen on social media, is controversy.
Every now and then I get a reel that gets
served up on my Instagram feed, and it's just like,
should these reps have counted? Like, did they squat deep enough?
Did they throw the ball high enough or whatever? And
yesterday I had my first controversy. We were meant to,
(06:14):
you're supposed to do like four exercises and then move
on to the next stage, the next station or whatever. Now,
mind you, at this stage, I am seeing spots. I
can barely breathe. I'm breathing like a bulldog. You know
when a bulldog falls asleep in front of a fireplace?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
That was me. I couldn't see straight. I'm wobbling. I
can see four of everything.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And I thought I was done on one of the
stations and I stepped forward into the next one and
another guy stepped forward and we were both standing at
the same station. And I was like, oh dear, one
of us has screwed this up and I don't know
who it is.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I'm recommending it's you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well, that's what I said as well. I was like,
I think it's me. And so then I went and
asked the instructor, I was like, where am I supposed
to be? And then he told me a riddle back
to me like, well, if you were on this and
that and then on stage three, then if you move
forward to the thing, I was like, dude, Come on,
look at me. I can't, this is, just tell me.
Minaya doesn't even know what day it is. He's got
(07:12):
no idea. And he gave me something like, well, if
it's the third Sunday after the harvest.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Moon and you're left-handed, but you're bat right-handed, you should be.
I was like, okay, okay, keep up.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So anyway, in the end, the other guy goes, oh, good, man,
I'll just jump on this other one.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It's free over here. But I could tell there was
a bit of a vibe.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And so I'd like to apologize to him, although I
think he was still in the wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
But anyway, massive milestone in my High Rocks career, first controversy.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Does that deserve its own Wikipedia entry?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, I know that shallow squatting is a massive problem
in the High Rocks community, and I just imagine you
would be prone to a shallow squat.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Shallow squat?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I pride myself on my squats, but, you know, fatigue
gets the.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Better of us. Or just maybe target clipping, just throwing
the ball deliberately below the line instead of going over
the top of the line. Is that what they call it?
Target clipping.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Target clipping.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'll do that at the next one. So anyway, yeah,
I'm a pillar of the high rocks community now.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You do look different.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Thanks. I look shredded. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Shirt off today, please. We're just talking about group fitness.
Minaya and Zoe have become hybrid rock stars. In fact,
they're even a team, a hybrid rock star team. They're
not only here at work together, now they're exercising together
as part of a team.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I didn't have a teammate yesterday. I had to pair
up with a random. God, that filled me with dread
as well. So I walked into the class by myself.
I already feel out of place as a hybrid rock star.
I don't think they see me as one of their own.
I was in a Warriors shirt as well. Apparently that's
not kosher.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You've got to have.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
No shirt.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
No shirt. Or if you have a shirt, it's going
to be LSKD as the brand.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Or at least sleeveless.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah, even Nike I don't think is kosher.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It's got to be tight.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Tight, yeah. Oh, tight, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Or unless you have like a big baggy thing over
the top and then you take it off and then
you've just got no shirt underneath or something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Obviously, there's a lot of energy being expended here. And
when you think about the group, right?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So it's just kind of pointless energy that's being expended.
Why don't you go and move someone's house for them?
Why don't you go and do some good in the community?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fill a couple of potholes in or something.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Go and lift some bins. Go and move some bins
for people.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, get something productive done. Yeah, so anyway, so I
pull up into that class yesterday, and then they're like, yeah,
it's a partnered class. So I was like, oh, this
is probably pretty close to my worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Because I was hoping to just slink into the back
and just hide in the corner and, you know, sweat
off the beers is all I'm trying to do. Then
they're like, all right, now, you know, and then they're like, Now,
high five your partner or turn to the person next
to you and say, you got.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This, and I'm in the other.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh my God.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I know. And it's like, but then what are we
going to do? Just be fat for the rest of
my life? So I'm in there like, you got this.
So random.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I can't do the group exercise. I can't do it. I've,
I once went to a spin class. I've been to
one spin class in my life. I went to one
yoga class once. I was forced into doing this yoga
called yin yoga. Tulsi goes, oh, you'd like this one.
It's kind of more like meditation. You sit there, and
it's very slow. Because I can't stretch. I'm so stiff.
(10:31):
And she's like, well, that's exactly why you should do yoga.
It's like, that's why I'm not doing yoga. Because that
would be like someone who can't hit a ball playing
a sport where you've got to have hand-eye coordination. It's like,
you don't want to do that. So I went along
to this one spin class that I've been to. I'll
never go to another one. But the only reason I
actually went was because Tulsi and her sister, who was
(10:54):
living with us at the time, would come back from
these classes and they'd be like, did you see what
was going on there with the instructors? Like, that is
something really, really odd going on there. And I was like,
what do you mean? Something going on with, he's got
something happening down, I think there's a deformity or there's
some kind of weird It's quite a lot of, and
(11:17):
I was like, oh, you know, first couple of times
I just, I thought, oh yeah, whatever. Pretty much every
time I come back for about two months, there'd be
discussion about like what was happening down in this particular
instructor's bike pants.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And I was trying to talk to them about, I said, look,
they said, I think it's a bit of kind of,
They were trying to explain what it was. Is it
a microphone pack?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well, after a while, they thought it was fake. They
thought that this person had put a whole lot of
things down their thing just to, because it was so much.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Running a fake hog.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It was so much.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Running a fake hog at the spin class.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So after a while, I was like.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Does that need a Wikipedia entry?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
As a male, I can tell you exactly what's going
on down there, you know. And so I thought, I'll
go along and I'll just do some, I'll come back
and I'll do an explainer. So I went along.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Please explain it.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Jesus Christ. I know what they were talking about. It
was like a marrow. Is that right? It was like
someone had put a marrow down there. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But the thing is, usually, close your ears, Zoe, turn
your headphones off. You know, when you're in those situations,
you go into sports mode.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I know. Turn your headphones off, Zoe. You're not supposed
to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's why it almost seemed like this had been placed there.
It was a foreign object that was placed. It was
so unusual. Gee, so that was this guy on sports mode.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yes. My God.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It was really bizarre.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Zoe's about to cut us off here. In fact, you
should have cut us off about four minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That was.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Impressive.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Time for your latest sport headlines. Thanks to expert Ultra
the Beer for here. Blackcaps white ball skipper Mitchell Santner
has turned down an Australian T20 Big Bash League deal
in favour of playing more for New Zealand. The spin
bowling all-rounder, whose place in the test side is dependent
on conditions, has told the He's prioritising the Red Bull
series against India and Australia.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That was rugged.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Accepting the offer would have forced Santner to forfeit his
NZC central contract and potentially the captaincy.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
How much, Jerry, you may know this, how much does
the BBL pay, the Big Bash League? Is it enough that, because,
you know, the IPL is probably in that realm of, like,
setting your family up forever, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah. But I don't think the BBL is quite there.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, I think it depends, obviously, because there's some that
will be worth a lot and there's others that won't
be worth quite as much. But apparently, a rookie tier
is roughly $ 80, 000 Australian dollars, so about $ 100, 000 New Zealand,
but less than. Yeah. And it's $ 420, 000 plus for the
best players.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Which you would have to say Mitch Santner would be
per season.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
He's probably in the, I mean, if he's listening, you're like,
you dick. But he's probably in the, 300 to 400 category.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I don't think you get much age out of 420
for him. I reckon he's one of the best in
the world.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Yeah, no, he is.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
I don't hate.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Him like you hate him. No, I love him.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know me.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love Mitch. I reckon he's top tier, which would
be 300 to 400.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah. How much would the Blackcaps get? Oh, you know what?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
How much do they get a year?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Shouldn't count another man's.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh, he's about 250 on a central contract.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Okay, well, fine. Stay with the central contract. Plus, he's
the captain.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah. And then you get match fees on top of that.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster is welcoming the versatility of Chance Nicholl-Clockstart.
He remains on the wing for Saturday's NRL League match
finals against the Dolphins, allowing Tain Tua-Pickey to continue at fullback. Meanwhile,
Reuben Cotter is free to play in the NRL finals
for North Queensland against Cronulla after his lawyer convinced the
(14:54):
judiciary to downgrade a high tackle charge from Grade 2
to Grade 1. Good job, that, isn't it, being an
NRL league player's... Oh, lawyer.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, yeah, because it's not actually court. It's a bit
of a kangaroo court. But yeah, they try not to
stand players down for finals games because that can swing
a finals and all it does is punish the fans, really.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, especially on a thing that was an accident.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But I mean, it just means take a bit of
leeway this first weekend of the playoffs and take someone's
head off.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
You'll get away with it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, I think that's the other part about it. They
want a bit of physical contact in those finals. They
want them to be physical contacts, don't they?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's much closer to state of origin.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And Rassi Rasmus has named his team to take on
the All Blacks at the Bolton in Baltimore. And we
cross right now to our South African correspondent, Breakdown Show 02.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
The Springbok team is out for the fourth and funnest
match in the greatest rivalry tour against the All Blacks.
And guys, we've got some epic players back once again
in the starting lineup. For the Springboks, we've got the
return of Damian Willemseur after his injury that he had
last week. And he's going to be crucial once again
(16:13):
in Baltimore, especially under the eyeball. And then, more than
ever on the bat, how good has he been? from
the bench for the Springboks in the previous games and
he gets a start this weekend and then Korpis Reinach
he will come off the bench for this game in
the United States and then the front rowers we've got
the very good and strong Ox and Che, Malcolm Marks
(16:37):
and then Wilco Lowe we all know what they did
at scrum time at the FNB stadium guys this is
your team for the fourth and final test match of
the greatest rivalry.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Tour Thanks very much for that. Not a lot of
shows have a South African correspondent. We really broke the
bank on that one. Big nah mihi to him. I
actually didn't catch his government name, but he just goes
by the name of Breakdown Show 2 on Instagram with
the team list there.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Hey, up next, let's talk about your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I believe it's progressing well. Is it? We worked out
the other day that Manai Stewart is lacking a Wikipedia page.
If you want to be a bastion of the community,
if you want to be a person out there out
and about doing work with young kids, with the disabled,
(17:29):
with different members of the community, you need to have
a Wikipedia page because when they introduce you to go up,
To the front of a school hall, for example.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah, an assembly.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
If you're judging a speech contest, then they need to
know some things about you. How are they going to
know anything if they don't have a Wikipedia page?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If some student radio station wants to interview me, there's
no paragraph at the top of the Wikipedia page for
them to read out in the intro.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Exactly. So we have set to.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Which, by the way, has not been a problem for
me so far in my life.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, no, but that's only because, look, you're... You.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Think I'm on the up and up?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Your career as a breakfast radio host is only beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I thought I was over the hill. I thought I
was on the back nine.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
No, I tell you what. You'll know about it when
you're on the back nine. Come and talk to me.
So anyway, we've got to Wikipedia and we've created an account.
Haven't we, Zoe?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
We have.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
We have created an account.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'm interested to see how this goes because you give
me a lot of stick about the admin that I
do in this show. Because we've got no marketing budget
for anything, so it often falls onto me. The uniforms,
the feng shui of the thing I'm currently making and book.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I bought two sharks. You're just so good at it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I am the engine of the administrative arm of this
breakfast show, and I'm interested.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
To see how you guys go about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, I'm experienced and old enough to know that you
never want to do admin well. Because if you do
it well once, it will fall on you to do
the admin for the rest of time.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, I don't think anyone's accused me of doing it well.
We still don't have the sharks or the book.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But yours is not as bad as, say, if I
did it, because I could really botch it. So we're
looking for different things. We've got, obviously, early life. There's
obviously got to be some stuff about waimate in there.
There's got to be stuff about some of your past jobs,
working as a boner in an abattoir, as a stevedore.
(19:24):
As a llama sharer. Alpaca. There's, of course, the famous
time when you were on the dole for a large
period of time.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
A dole reject, actually. You were rejected from the dole.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That was the, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Man, they really zeroed in on that in the Women's
Day hit piece. I was rejected from the dole and
my partner was working two jobs to support me. I
was like, well, she was working two jobs at the
time I got rejected from the dole.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I don't think it's like, jeez.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Old Jeff's got to go back down the mines because
Monica's can't get a job.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So, yeah, we're looking to put something together. A dossier.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
3483-0800-HODAKI. I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Have we missed anything?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
You've missed everything because there's no Wikipedia page.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, there's going to be. There's going to be.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Is there? Where's that at?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
There's processes. Exactly. It takes time, these sorts of things,
to do it properly. Also, it turns out that Wikipedia,
you're not allowed to do a Wikipedia page for anybody
that you know or work with. Yeah, so that's a
big hurdle that I have to jump.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So we're going to have to fire Zoe to get
this thing off the ground, is what you're saying? Is
that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, I'm not sure. I mean, this is the thing.
I think it's got to be done by a listener.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Sorry, I just Googled my name to try and find it.
Radio Star Mania's wild love story.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I know what they've done there.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That's animal-based.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Nah, we'll get it done. We're going to get it done.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
We're going to get it done.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
See the situation that's happened with Reece Walsh, the league player,
plays for the Broncos. He has, someone's shared his personal
phone number with a whole lot of people. So a
lot of people are giving him a call. Like heaps
and heaps of people are giving him a call. And
he's quite upset about it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well, he, so yeah, so somebody got hold of his
phone number and then just leaked it to everyone. People
started calling him, as they do. This is something that happened.
And he said, I've got 700,000 followers. You guys don't
stop calling me. I'm about to start releasing your phone
numbers to 700,000 followers. People keep calling him. So then
he took a screenshot of all of the calls that
(21:44):
have come through to him, put it on his Instagram story.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Uno reverse.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The only difference is, I don't think anyone's going to
be calling those numbers. You know, like it's one thing
for a Hyundai to get hold of Reece Walsh's number
and be.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Like, oh, I'm going to call him.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
It's a different thing for a Reece Walsh fan to
see just a random number that could be anyone.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
They're not going to call that number.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
thing that he sent out on social media is super
interesting because it's it's a picture of him and his
daughter and it's him without a shirt on giving the
fingers with his daughter and then it says whoever whoever
given my number to they mates and telling them to
call me better tell him to stop before 700k people
get your number uh those eyes that are really open
(22:25):
Laughing face, laughing face. Or evil laughing face? Is that
evil laughing face?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Is that emoji evil laughing face?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I think that's the Ruffalo Mayo face, the rolling on
the floor laughing my ass off face.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Well, because it's on an angle as opposed to the
one that's directly flat. The eyes make it a little
bit like, watch out. Watch out. It's a threat. Ha ha,
but watch out.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And then it's got the photo of him doing the
fingers with his daughter there looking kind of, you know,
like he's got the eyeliner on and it's all kind
of working for him.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's such a, there's so much going on in that post. I,
this is, um, happened to me when I, my first
job for the alternative commentary collective, uh, was I had
to send out all the invites or the tickets to
the lions tour, whatever year that was.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
That was when I started 2017. I think it might've been.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Um, and so that, and there were thousands, it might've
been about 2000 tickets that I had to send out
to people. And I just, you know, added all the
names in, hit send. My email signature was still on there.
with my phone number on it, my own personal phone
number on it. And I sent that to 2,000 ACC mutants.
And the next month of my life was just phone calls.
(23:33):
It was generally Friday nights and Saturday nights. And I
always think that it was someone from work, like something's
gone wrong. And I'm like, yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
They're like, where's Lee Hart? Where's Lee Hart? Where's Jason Hoy?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, poor bugger. I think that he's got to change
his number, though. Yeah, yeah. That's the only thing he
can do. 700,000 people.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well, he doesn't actually know how many other people have
shared it.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's 700,000 that he's got.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's his followers, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah. Anyway, if you want Jerry's number, give us a text, 3483.
I'll send it through to you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Jerry and Minaya, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I was going to say, so yesterday we had to
film this video.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't know if it's up yet, but we got
a message into the group chat saying, hey, can you
guys bring in a couple of Warriors jerseys?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
We're going to film this thing. And I said, yeah,
I'll grab one for Jerry because he's a bandwagon fan.
He's got no merch. And so I brought one in yesterday.
Funnily enough, I'm actually wearing the one that you wore yesterday.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Is it because it smells of me? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, I missed you at this point.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Is it that or is it because it was just
on the top of my laundry basket when I got
up this morning and I get dressed in the dark?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Can I just say it did smell very good when
I put it on yesterday. It was freshly laundered.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yes, and dried on the lines.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Line dry.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Line dry.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's not like you.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
It is spring, yeah. But, yeah, I accuse you of
being a bandwagon fan that's why you don't have any merch.
You've actually got a different reason why you don't.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, I do. I'm too old to wear merch. Like,
I don't wear, like, you know, All Blacks jerseys or
Black Caps shirts or Warriors jerseys. I'm too old. I
look like a– I don't even know what I look like.
I just look like a– It looks tragic when you
get past a certain age. And I'm going to say
(25:20):
the age is 45. I was going to say, where
do you set the age range? 45.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Bec's coming. She's in Studio B helping us out with
the phones while Ruta's crook.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
She didn't like that. She didn't like that. I mean,
she's going to fit Freddie's shirt on.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
No, that's different. That's different. That's band t-shirts. Band t-shirts,
all good. No problems there. I'm talking about sports franchise merch.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I don't know what it is. It just looks to me....
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So you're setting the line. You think it's an age
thing that at a certain age you shouldn't be wearing
sports merch anymore? I reckon. You said 45, so I've
got another 10 years, you reckon.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You've got 10 years in you. I'm seeing you there
sitting in your Warriors jersey. It looks good to me.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It looks right.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I've been doing all the high rocks lately.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But imagine if I wore– just think about me turning
up in sportswear. Just think about it for a second.
Does it seem right?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, but I don't know if it's an age thing.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Oh, it's just a personality.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Maybe. I don't know. Zoe, you're of a different age again.
I reckon it's a vibe thing, honestly. It's a vibe thing?
I think it's a vibe thing. Rather than an age thing?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Maybe it is a vibe thing. Maybe I've just put
it down to age. But it's actually maybe– I mean,
I don't particularly love wearing a uniform. I wore uniforms
all my life.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
And for me, it's just another wearing of a uniform.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
It is quite literally, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
It's the uniform of the sports team.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's a uniform. And it's like, I want to wear mine.
I want to choose. If I want to wear something,
then I just want to choose what I want to wear.
I don't want someone else telling me what I got
to wear.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Okay. Well, look out into Studio B now and drink
back in.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
See what.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Females? She's now put a Warriors jersey on.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Is this sexist? It seems different for females to wear
sports merch.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Different set of rules for women jerseys.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, I don't know. Is that sexist?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
On Women's Space Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Again, I'm just speaking honestly and openly.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, well, give us a text, 3483. Is there an
age limit on wearing sports merch? Is it an age thing?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Is it a.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Is it even a franchise thing? Like, for a 55-year-old
to wear an all-black jersey.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, even to an All Blacks game?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, definitely to an All Blacks game.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're not in on that?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I don't know why, this looks sad to me.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let us know, 3483. I don't think there is an
age limit. I'm with Zoe, I think it's a vibe thing.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
The Hodaki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're just deciding how old is too old to wear
sports franchise merch.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yes, we talked about it the other day. We were
asked to wear a Warriors jersey into the studio. I said,
I'll bring one for Jerry because he's a bandwagoner and
he hates the Warriors and he doesn't want to wear one.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Jerry said, well, actually, it's an age thing. You feel
like over a certain age that you shouldn't be wearing.
That you shouldn't be or that people shouldn't be wearing
sports merch?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I wouldn't ever put my views onto other people, Manai,
and my judgments, whatever anybody else wants to wear, that
is up to them. Personally, I don't feel comfortable wearing
sports franchise merch as a 50-year-old. Person.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
49, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
49, about basically 50. Don't sell yourself short. But for me,
like if I was to go on to the All Blacks,
what is acceptable at my age, in my opinion? A scarf.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
A scarf, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
A scarf.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Do you know what I mean? When do you graduate
from the jersey to the scarf? Well, this is an assumption.
When I was in Sydney, I witnessed this happen in
the central city. So the Sydney Swans were playing a
game of.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
What do they call that? AFL.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
At the same time as the Roosters were playing a
game of NRL. And I noticed that people of all ages,
colours and creeds, were wearing jerseys when they were Roosters fans.
The AFL fans, they would wear just whatever they were
wearing but with a scarf. I actually think, and a
(29:16):
couple of people have texted in, I actually think it's a,
I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's
like whatever sport you support.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So like Warriors fans, Warriors is not a big scarf thing.
I don't think I've ever seen a Warriors scarf.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I've seen Warriors scarves.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Oh, maybe.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I feel like I've seen Warriors beanies.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, but I feel like whereas rugby is more a
chuck a scarf.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
On and just wear your business suit.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I've seen a lot of Wallabies scarves over the years.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yes, again.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
But is it because they're yellow and they stand out?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I think.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Sam has hit it on the head here. Jerry, you've
mistaken too old for too elitist. Is it the fact
that it's people who are fans of elitist sports, which I,
you know, maybe rugby union. They want to wear a
scarf and a hat. Let's go to the phone lines.
We've got someone on line one.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Good morning. Hi, Darkie.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Who are we talking to? G'day. It's Jonty here.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
How are you going?
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Jonty, how are you, mate? Yeah, not bad, boys. Hey,
I reckon Victoria's pretty big with the AFL. It might
be just the cold, I think. Oh, so it's the
temperature issue.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I was thinking the same thing, Jonty, because also AFL games,
a lot of them played at night.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, freezing cold down in Victoria.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And nowadays you've got a lot of All Blacks games.
In fact, all All Blacks games now are played at night.
You do see a lot of All Blacks scarves.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Tell me this, Jonte, how old are you and do
you wear your favourite sports team's merch?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I've actually got a Warriors jersey on now. I got
Father's Day from the kids, so. Oh, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, so you have to wear it.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, I have to, mate. But you would have anyway.
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking, Jonte?
I'll be 34 soon, actually.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
See, 34, Jonte, that's my nice age. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yeah, it's sort of whirled at your feet there, isn't it, Jonte?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I made it. I made it.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah. Kid could be anything sort of stuff. Thanks very
much for the call, John. A couple of texts through.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Corey said, my 70-year-old neighbor wears Warriors merch on game day.
Someone else said, Jerry's too scucks and too cool to
publicly support a team. I'm 57 years old. I have
60 Warriors jerseys, and I wear them every single day.
Dylan's accusing you of being a fake fan.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Hey, Dylan, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Hold on. Let me answer Dylan's text.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Dylan Marshall.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
From Hamilton Dylan Marshall 26 can I just say something
could be anything I wear my merch on the inside
to quote a once for warriors line.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah okay yeah I agree read team jerseys Jerry etc
but I think any any adult wearing one looks tragic
particularly with a player's name on them grow up thank
you Brad says I'm with Jerry 49 now but actually
it's just because I'm not cool enough anymore Tim Rickens
is the boomer laddies wearing warehouse active intent branded sportswear.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
That kills me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Okay. The other thing is, I don't know, you guys
must have noticed, but the shape of the jerseys nowadays
isn't what it used to be.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
So they started making them to look like the ones
the players wear.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That doesn't look good on the average Joe.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
No, this is what I mean. I'm looking at the
one that you're wearing at the moment, Mano, which is
the old heavy drill cotton.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
90s cotton.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Baggy through the sides.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
40 kilos if it gets rained on it.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, but warm, firstly, good natural fibre in the cotton,
plus a shape which, you know, when you get to
my age, if you've lived a decent life, you know,
you should be coming out the front a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Should we get a woman's perspective on this? No, Hayley
from Tauranga, she got spooked.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Actually, now, that's a good question as well, because I'd
like to know from a female or a male, is
a man in his plus 50s attractive in sports merch?
Sports franchise merch.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
How about this one?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Has anyone ever found someone in sports franchise merch attractive?
Who's not actually on the field?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Only the guys on the field. Um, and then this
one here, Jerry. So no sports gear, but doing a
ridgy is still okay.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Really Jerry?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Well, that's shirtless content. That's a different thing.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Jerry and Mania, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
That's elderly woman behind the coup by Pearl Jam on
the Hauraki breakfast. I never know quite what happens with
the rest of that song because unfortunately our font cuts off. Uh,
That's such a long name for a title.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town is
what the name of the song is.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You know it well, don't you?
Speaker 4 (33:27):
That never comes back into it. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
We play it so often that we talk about it
every single time it comes up, and I've been accused
of only having one story because of it.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Because it gets brought up every time.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Well, it was NCEA level two music, was it?
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Might have been.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That you failed?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Might have been one, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
That you failed singing that song?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Didn't fail. You can't fail NCEA.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I was asked to resubmit.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Resubmit. And the line I like most about the story
is that when I said it, it must have been
just song choice, song collection. The teacher mustn't have liked
it because it can't have been that I didn't do
it well.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Well, as you know, I have a voice like honey
poured over thunder. And I don't know if anyone in
this room has a memory of me missing a note.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Do you?
Speaker 7 (34:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
You couldn't tell me at the time, and I did.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yesterday, I would like your help on this, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I look to you as my moral compass. I was
a bad Samaritan.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Something happened that I could have impacted, and I could
have made a change, and I didn't.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I just stood by and let it happen.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And I think if I'm going to be trying to
install myself in the community, this is the kind of
stuff that needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I was driving home yesterday, and as I drove down,
it's quite a long road. There's nowhere to stop. It's
the yellow lines along the side, so you can't park there.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I watched a woman walk out of the doctor's office,
turn onto the footpath, and as she turned, her sunglasses case,
or prescription glasses, I don't know, fell out of her
bag onto the ground.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
And then she walked off. By the time I drove
past her, she was about 10 meters past it.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
And I did nothing. And I know that there's a
woman out there who now does not have her glasses case.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Or potentially even glasses.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
What should I have done in that situation?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I need to know a couple of things. Firstly, was
there any place that you could stop? So you were
on the other side of the road. Which side of
the road was she on?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Her side of the road. She's on the left as
I'm driving along. It is a double lane road. There
is nowhere to stop.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Park.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
It's, like I said, the yellow broken lines along the side.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
There was a bus stop that I could have pulled
into or someone's driveway.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh. Oh, there was a driveway.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It would have been a hectic manoeuvre to pull off
because I was going at about, well, let's be honest, 60. And,
you know, so to pull into the culvert like that,
I think it would have been crazy.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
So you're driving along at 60 along what is a
four-lane road, so two lanes each side.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
You somehow managed to see some person and you saw
their sunglasses? How do you even see that when you're
driving along at 60? You should be focused on the road.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Well, I'm perceptive. Well, I'm keeping a weather eye cocked
on every potential hazard.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
You need to keep abreast of what's in front of you.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
I am.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
And she was in front of me.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
And I was keeping so abreast of it that I
saw that her glasses case fell out.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
How old was she?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
40s.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Was she wearing sports merch?
Speaker 4 (36:27):
She was not wearing sports merch. Track pants. But she
was sick. She was coming out of the doctors. I'm
not going to judge her attire. What color hair did
she have? She had mousy brown gray roots.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Probably could have done with a touch up. And tracksuit
pants and a duffel bag. But again, she was on
her way to the home from the doctors.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
How do you know she was at the doctors?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Because she walked out of the doctors and into the.
Into the street.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Did she look sick? I mean, were you worried that
maybe there might have been some contact in there and
you may have flow A?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's the defence I'd mount if this was taken to court.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Why could you not turn into a driveway?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Because I was speeding in a 50 zone and I
couldn't just bang into someone's driveway.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
How much of the traffic was there around you?
Speaker 4 (37:18):
There were, to be fair, there were no cars behind me.
So I wouldn't have caused a crash. The other thing is,
you asked with justice, didn't I? Yeah, well, this is
the thing. I know.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And this is why it's kept me up all night
and why I needed to bring it to you guys
this morning was because if I had seen someone else
do that, I would have brought them to swift justice.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I mean, in that situation, if you don't think that
you can safely turn in, it's on you. And clearly,
you feel the guilt.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Because you know deep in your heart that you could
have done more.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Someone out there.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
You know deep in your heart.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
And I have a big heart. I think that's my problem.
My weakness is that I care too much. Is this
too boring for 7.43? Time for It's Academic.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
We're going to ask you five questions.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
0800 Hauraki.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
All you need to do is get three correct to
win a $ 100 Bunnings voucher.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And get your school's name etched into the much-vaunted It's
Academic role of honour.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yes, $ 100 up for grabs today.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
We go to Napier where we find Chris, the retarded roofer.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Good morning, Chris. How's Napier this morning?
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Mate, beautiful and sunny, as always.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Beautiful part of the country, Napier.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Chris, what school did you go.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
To, Chris?
Speaker 3 (38:34):
What high school?
Speaker 7 (38:35):
I went to Wymer College in Richmond.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Just out of Nelson.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, just out of Nelson there.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
It's already on its academic roll of honour. I feel
like there's been a few people from Waimea College who
have tried.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Big haunt, mate.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Big haunt. Yeah, she is. A fair few famous... Is
it a good basketballing school, Waimea College?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
It was.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Who are the famous people that went to Waimea College, Chris?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Me.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Apart from you.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Fair enough.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
To be honest, I'm trying to think who was legendary
that went there.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Can't think of anybody off.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
The top of my head. Okay, well, we'll see if
we can get Waimea College on their times, too. There's
a number that are times, too. Shirley Boys is their times, too.
Tauranga Boys is times, too. Stratford High School is times, too. St.
Peter's is times, too. Whangarei Boys High School is times, too.
I don't believe St. Kevin's is on there, which is
Mania's old school.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Because I'm not allowed to do it. Ken Wadsworth, ring
a bell to you, Gerry?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
The late Ken Wadsworth, yeah, totally. The black cap wicket keeper.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Didn't go to Waimea College.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I was just wondering if you knew who he was.
He had the blonde hair. Great New Zealander. All right, Chris,
you know how this works, don't you? You've just got
to answer three questions out of five. Now, we get
the questions off the back of some Libra sanitary pads,
which we've got here in the studio. You can either
have the invisible questions, the extra questions, the maternity questions,
(39:58):
or the ultra-thin questions.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Mate, I'm going maternity today.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
You've got to be polite to a pregnant woman.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Good on you.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Very respectful on a Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah, so they're super absorbent, those pads. They've got wings
and have an aloe vera-enriched top sheet. Did you know that, Chris?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
No, it's all news to me.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
All right, let's get into it. First question from Chris.
Right here. What is the largest organ in the human body?
Speaker 7 (40:27):
That'll be your skin.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Correct. Which New Zealand bird is featured on the $ 1 coin?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Is that the Kiwi?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
It's correct. Who is the artist behind the German hit
99 zu schluff ballon?
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Oh, is it Nina?
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yay! Chris, they taught you well. Why me a college?
I think you should go for the clean sweep, and
we'll ask you the last two, because I reckon you'd
probably get those two.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Go on.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Chris, what is the only mammal, Chris, capable of true flight?
Speaker 5 (41:00):
It'd be a bat, wouldn't it?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And who are the Warriors playing this Saturday?
Speaker 7 (41:06):
I did watch the game one thing and they told
us who it was.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Is it the Dolphins?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
He's a genius.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Keep going.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Just keep going.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
He's a genius, Chris.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
Bring in another set of pads and we'll see what.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
We get out of it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Good on you, Chris.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Thanks for playing.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Thanks for listening to the Hardingy Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Cheers, man.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Cheers.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
There's a sentiment out there around this show, Jerry, that
the show's gone soft.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
I think it's mostly, I think we can all agree.
Your fault.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Hold on. The allegation started about two years ago.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
I think we can all agree, Jerry. What's changed in
two years? It's your soft hands. You've got soft hands.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
What's changed in two years?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Um and so in an effort to inject some hard
bastardry back into the show yeah a bit of mana
i think that's fair lift the mana rate of this
show up a little bit um i've been going around
trying to trying to round up some of the harder
bastards that i've found across uh social media would love
for a hard bastard to call in but it's not
really the kind of thing a hard bastard would do
(42:07):
um yesterday we played this guy who's um who's a
camel wrangler from australia uh We played it out yesterday,
but for those of you who missed it, have a
listen to this.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I love that as a casual statement, you got into camels.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
It was a dare, mate.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
I saw the job advertised in Fremantle on Centrelink under miscellaneous.
My mate dared me, so I never looked back after that.
I asked the bloke in the camel farm, I said,
you got a job, mate?
Speaker 4 (42:31):
I do camels. He said, you got a swag?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
I said, yep. Next thing we were out bush for
four months catching wild camels in the deserts.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
And I was green, mate.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
I didn't even know a camel threw a front leg
till I'd a broken nose and two black eyes. What
I found out the hard way, it's the front leg
on a camel that breaks your neck. It's the back
legs that break your pride. From there, done about 20,000
k's on foot now, trekking them across deserts.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Any major injuries you've had?
Speaker 7 (42:51):
Yeah, a couple of fractured necks. I've still got three
broken fingers. I've got a snapped cheekbone, a compressed eye socket.
I didn't even know I had a broken neck for
about a week until someone saw me walking strange in town.
So the fingers here that are busted, I was tying
a rope around a bull camel's neck and another bull
came out of the bush and bashed him. And all
of a sudden I'm attached to two heads of two
camels that were trying to, and it just cracked me
fingers off. And of course you're out bush, you can't
(43:13):
just call time out and come to town. You just
throw a Bessa block on your toe, balance out the
pain and keep moving.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
What I love about that guy. That is your classic Australian.
He's got a bit of honey badger about him.
Speaker 6 (43:25):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
But the way that the rhythm and the rolling together
and the quick speaking, that's a classic Australian. And the
saying for everything.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
I don't even know what the hell he was talking
about for half of that.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
That's a different language.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
The highlight for me is didn't even know I had
a broken neck till someone saw me walking funny.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
In town, which is brilliant.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
So we played that out at about, I don't know,
almost 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
We thought it needed another run this morning.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Our Australian content director, Percy Campbell, he would have come
across a million of these sort of operators in Australia.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Well, he likes to think he's one himself.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
You know what? I think he is.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
He sent one through and he said, I reckon this
guy might even have him covered.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
This guy might even be more of a hard bastard.
Have a listen to this one.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
I think I had seven fights in five hours. I
only won three of them. My jaw broke and nose
broke and both my eyes blackened. So I got into
a bit of marijuana and a couple of bottles of
rum and that dulled the pain.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
That didn't work out.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I ended up shitting myself and then ended up sleeping
with about three different girls over the weekend and rode
a wild horse and a buck and bull and come
home again. Most people haven't done that in a lifetime,
have they?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
What is it about those Australian guys? He had the
drool going on as well.
Speaker 5 (44:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Well, look, if you can top that, give us a
call at 800-HODUCK. I suspect there'd be no one out
there who could. We're looking for hard bastards.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
We're looking for hard bastards or people that know hard bastards. Yeah.
Like maybe it's a parent. Maybe your mum or dad
was a hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
A grandparent. Yeah, for sure. They don't build them like
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
No.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
0800 Hauraki, 0800 428 725. You hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Jerry and Mania.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
We're looking for some hard bastards. There's talk in the community,
there's talk out there that the show's gone soft.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
Yeah, game's gone soft.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Since you arrived on the show, Mania.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Well, they're saying back in the 90s it was way harder.
But now they've got, you know, soft hand. The Pons
will be yeti with his soft hands in here.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Oh, people used to talk about Heath as a real
hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
That's a good one. Tough act to follow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Tough act to follow when it comes to hard bastardry.
But I will say, Jerry, in my defense, and we
talked about this recently, but we went on holiday in
like July and I got sick. And I didn't say
anything about it to the missus, just sort of toughed
it out. So don't talk to me about being a
hard bastard, all right?
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Yeah, that is impressive. Because I was walking along the
beaches of Coogee and Bondi with a bit of a sniffle,
all right?
Speaker 5 (45:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
I heard it was coming out both ends.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
It was at one point, yes, coming out both ends.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
And you didn't even share that?
Speaker 4 (46:03):
No, kept it under my lid, mate, because I'm a
hard bastard. You don't share that kind of stuff, right?
Speaker 3 (46:08):
No, that's impressive. I mean, to be honest, the former
host of the show, Matt Heath, I don't believe he
was ever wrestling an alpaca. He doesn't know what it's
like to wrestle an alpaca to the ground and share
that bastard.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
People always ask me what the difference between a llama
and an alpaca is. So a llama, I would pick
up and carry out of the pen.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
Sorry, an alpaca.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
A llama I once tried to grab around the neck
and it threw me clean across the pen and I
hit the wall.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Crazy bastards.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
Big bastards. Big bastards. And I was about 100 kilos
at that time too.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Are they angry bastards?
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Angry bastards. Hard bastards.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, hard bastards. They'll spit at you. Spitty bastards.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Oh, and it's not saliva either. How have we been
waylaid with alpaca chat?
Speaker 3 (46:46):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (46:47):
If it's not saliva?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
It's a gland, is it?
Speaker 4 (46:50):
Is this too boring for 8.15? Is it a gland?
Speaker 1 (46:52):
They are pseudoruminants, which means they've got three chambers to
their stomach as opposed to the four that a true
ruminant like a cow or a sheep would have, which
means that they regurgitate their cud and chew it again.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
They spit that at you. So it's half-digested grass. And
they spit that back at you. One of them spitted
up my shorts once. I don't want to get into that.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Did it leave a mark? What do you get that
out with? Nappy sand challenge?
Speaker 4 (47:16):
What do you do with that? Nah, you just cop it.
You just do your best. You just go down to
the nearest creek and try and wash it out.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
Okay. Anyway. We're looking for hard bastards on 3483. I mean,
do you know.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Sounds like we've found one.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
I'll tell you what I did, actually. I'll tell you
what I did this winter, is I didn't turn my
bathroom underfloor heating on.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Oh, you hard bastard. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I left that off.
Speaker 4 (47:38):
Hardwood floors, eh?
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Mainly because of a.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
What did you do? Just make the kids wear socks?
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Limestone. I, um.
Speaker 7 (47:44):
No, I, uh.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
It was mainly because of the league crisis, actually. It
just cost too much. So they're actually a tight.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
Bastard, is what it is. You also cut back on
the cleaner once a week, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, once every two weeks.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Once every two weeks.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
That's a recession indicator if you've ever heard one.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
And can I just say also, I did play golf
yesterday without taking my prescription anti-inflammatories. I got arthritis.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Well, there you go, man. Let it not be said
that this show's gone soft, right? We've got a couple
of hard bastards in here.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Jerry and Minaya. The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 7 (48:19):
Jerry and Minaya.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
Join the conclave. The Hauraki Breakfast discussion group on Facebook
for more.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I'm a bit distracted this show, I've got to say,
because I've been fiddling around with some admin on your
Wikipedia page, which I'm putting together, Minaya, for you.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
Yeah, how's that going?
Speaker 3 (48:34):
Good. I'm just a little stumbling block. I'm at Early
Life and Agricultural Roots. I'm in the Agricultural Roots section.
What's that like? Well, were you born in Waimate? Were
you born in Christchurch? Excuse me. Christchurch. Okay, Christchurch.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
We don't have to do this, by the way. We
can burn this.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
I'm just getting... I just need to just iron out
some details.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Christchurch Women's Hospital.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
Okay, Christchurch Women's Hospital.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
They burned it to the ground after I was born there.
Speaker 3 (49:04):
Did they?
Speaker 5 (49:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
She's gone.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Was it that infected?
Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah. They were like, no, we've done it. That's the
best one we'll make, and we'll call it there.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
Okay, when I've got your... uh, in terms of your,
your CV and, why are we putting my CV?
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
So I've got meat boner down here.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Meat boner.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
I've got meat boner. I've got alpaca shearer.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
I've got dull reject.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Um, is this what we're putting out there?
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Is that like, obviously you've got the ACC, you've got
doing the haraki breakfast from 2025 to, to present, uh,
Is there anything else that I've missed out there?
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Again, I don't want this.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
Hybrid Rockstar? Hybrid Rockstar, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (49:48):
The thing is, I can't see this ever actually getting
off the ground and getting to air. I can't see
anyone in here being able to actually make this happen,
so I'm not too worried about it. But I.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I'm working away at it at the moment.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
And then, okay, so in terms of, I've got your
personal life in here. I've got that sorted. Don't put
that in there. And then some of your key achievements,
including navigating an Oktoberfest trip with myself and ACC head, G. Lane. So, okay,
I think we're getting somewhere. So 3483 0800 Hauraki. If
(50:22):
we have more things that we need to fit in
Manaya's Wikipedia page, please.
Speaker 4 (50:25):
Superhero Swift Justice writes this text.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
I don't know if I want my alter ego out
there for the public knowledge.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
It's going straight in.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Can you please add a woman of great mana? This
is the Hauraki breakfast. This Friday, it is Wear It
For The Wars Day, so everyone is teaming up around
the whole country to make sure that the Warriors know
they're being backed by the whole country. Chuck your Warriors
jersey or supporter merch on, Sherry. Wear it to work, school,
(50:56):
the gym like I did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
No, hold on.
Speaker 4 (50:58):
Supermarket, wherever. Wear it for the wars this Friday.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
We've been talking about this on the show this morning.
I'm a 50-year-old, basically, man. I can't be wearing sports merch.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
We talked to people this morning, and they said that
it's a vibe thing. And what more vibe could there
be than the Warriors playing in the finals?
Speaker 3 (51:19):
I'd like to do something. I mean, I do wear
my support on the inside, to be fair. I wear
it strong on the inside. I've got a whole merchandise
tent going on inside of me.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
They can't see that, Jerry. That's the problem. And so
they need you to show it outwardly.
Speaker 4 (51:35):
No jersey? No worries, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Here's some ideas you can do. You could wear Warriors colours.
So maybe just like a bit of blue. I don't
think I've ever seen you wear blue.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
White?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
Could I wear white to support them?
Speaker 4 (51:45):
They've got white in their jersey.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Yeah, I don't think the Warriors would drive past you
wearing a white T-shirt and go, Jerry's on board. So
what about paint your face like the national colour?
Speaker 5 (51:56):
What?
Speaker 3 (51:57):
Blackface. You've got to be very careful doing blackface nowadays.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Even if it is all black.
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Or the black Warriors jersey that they had for a
while there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
Look, if you're not going to chuck the jersey on, Jerry,
I think you're going to have to paint your face.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
No.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
So those are your options. Paint your face or chuck
your Warriors jersey.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
I'll bring one in for you.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I'll bring one in for you. I'll bring you a jersey.
And if you don't want to wear it because you're
over 45, you can paint your face black.
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Beck Sandys is up next. Have a lovely day today.
We'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Gary and Manai, the Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Good morning, everyone. Welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast, Wednesday
the 9th of September, 2026. Big news there about the
Albatross chicks.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Yes, I heard they have been flapping their wings. Is
that true? Are those rumours true?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
No, that is true. So that's news. That's new news.
Albatrosses flapping their wings.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'll tell you what I'm interested in. Shout out to
Manawatu in the Whanganui District for slashing the tyres.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Was that speed cameras? Is that what that was? Speed cameras, man,
they really inflame people, eh?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Because it's like, so if I'm the only person on
the road and I'm doing 55 and it's a 50
and there's no one else here and it's at night
and you caught me because you set a camera up, like,
who's the victim here?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I feel like that's entrapment.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I think as well they're mobile speed cameras, so they're
ones that they take along on a trailer and then
they plop somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Right, not after the good fuck of the man of
the two have gotten hold of them, they're not.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
No, exactly. Good on those people. But I also, for me,
it's a bit like the same as the parking wardens
that drive around in cars that don't get out. I
reckon that's not fair.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I think you've got to walk. You've got to be
on foot. There's got to be an element of jeopardy.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah. It's got to be person versus car, and that's fine.
You know, like you get a ticket, park in a
place for too long. Absolutely, that's fair enough. But the
idea that you just randomly drive around in a car
and just pick everything up, that's not fair.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
No.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
That's not fair.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I've got to have a fighting chance. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I think with these speed cameras, I think the
cops should be in the car. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
But if it's a fixed one, it better be up high.
So you can't reach it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Okay, all right, should we get into the kickoff? This morning,
I would like a bit of Kings of Leon, Charma.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Now, this could be pretty harsh at 6.04, but this
song's been stuck in my head for a long time,
so I want to hear Kings of Leon, but old-school
Kings of Leon.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
0800 HODAKI, 0800 428725. Give us a call if you
want to take the kickoff, decide which song kicks off
the show.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Oh, good song, this, by Kings of Leon.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Can we hear this first?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
No.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
What are you thinking, Jerry?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm thinking You Only Live Once. By The Strokes. Also
known as YOLO.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
I thought it was a Drake.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Song.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Give us a call, 0800 HODOKI, 0800 428 725 and
bear with us this morning. Ruda's gone down, he's succumbed
to his illness again.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
So we're flying with one wing. Tied behind our back.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, thoughts and prayers for Ruta, I believe, at the
A & E last night. So hopefully he's okay.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Contracted the super gonorrhea.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I don't know if our phones are working. Maybe they
haven't been turned on.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Does Ruta usually turn those on when he comes in?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Normally Ruta turns those on.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Rock, paper, scissors.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Ready?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Rock, paper, scissors. Well, hold on. That was a bit.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Rock, paper, scissors.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Jerry's one. He's gone scissors to my paper.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Scissors V paper.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
A little bit suspicious with a little double throw at
the end there. I don't know how I feel about that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
It's called balking.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Jerry and Manai, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I'm just looking across at you, Manai, and you look
slightly different again this morning. It's the gutters in it.
And that to me means one thing. That means that
you've been doing more anhyroxing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm a member of the, I don't know if
they've accepted me as one of their own.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
But yeah, I'm a member of the High Rocks community.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Had an important milestone in my High Rocks career yesterday. Obviously,
last week, I think, was the first time that Zoe
and I performed in High Rocks. And for those of
you playing along at home, it's just the gym across
the road from us has rebranded one of their classes
as High Rocks, but changed nothing else about the class.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
I actually don't think it's.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's the same.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Because isn't part of high rocks throwing balls around and running?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, normally throwing balls against walls. I think the idea
is it's a hybrid between running and distance running and...
And strength. Yeah, cardio and strength. But I would have
thought that there's some ball throwing. I mean, for people
who are listening who don't know what high rocks is.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
You know what? They probably better not know. I know
I was happier.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's a form of exercise is what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That they've turned into... A competition. I'm going to stop
short of calling it a sport.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, you can travel around the world to do it.
My sister-in-law does it.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
She competes all around the world.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yes, she competes with one of my mates, actually. But yes,
and it's the one where they throw the balls against
the wall. You would have seen this. For some reason,
the men must perform shirtless. There's a running element of it.
There's the big ski bloody things and pull-ups and all sorts. Anyway,
so the Half-Assed Fitness class I go to across the
road has rebranded it as that and changed nothing else.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
So I'm now a member of the High Rocks community.
Shirtless content on its way. Stand by. I have my
phone on a tripod in the corner. Oh, good, good.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, I think the other thing that High Rocks competitions
do very well is that they have people who take
photos and then you can get the photos and then
you can have the photos sent to you and then
you can put it up on your social media.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And you look sick.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
They've got professional, proper photographers and they've got interesting graphics
that they use.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And it's like black and white and a little bit
grainy and blurry.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
It's really smart.
Speaker 7 (05:19):
It is.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
It's smart.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It is, because it's its own internal marketing machine. Anyway,
because the people look amazing. It gets you in incredible shape,
which is why I started going, because I was like,
these are the most shredded people I've ever seen in
my life. If I go there, and I was right, evidently,
then I'll start looking like that.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
I don't even think you need to go. I mean,
I think the way gyms normally work is you just
buy the membership, and once you've bought the membership, you
just look like that.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
It just happens.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That gym across the road, I believe, has the most
dormant memberships in the country.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, I bet.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Central Auckland gym, yeah, it would be.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So anyway, yesterday, the important milestone that I hit, a
big part of the High Rocks community, from my understanding,
at least from what I've seen on social media, is controversy.
Every now and then I get a reel that gets
served up on my Instagram feed, and it's just like,
should these reps have counted? Like, did they squat deep enough?
Did they throw the ball high enough or whatever? And
yesterday I had my first controversy. We were meant to,
(06:14):
you're supposed to do like four exercises and then move
on to the next stage, the next station or whatever. Now,
mind you, at this stage, I am seeing spots. I
can barely breathe. I'm breathing like a bulldog. You know
when a bulldog falls asleep in front of a fireplace?
Speaker 4 (06:32):
That was me. I couldn't see straight. I'm wobbling. I
can see four of everything.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And I thought I was done on one of the
stations and I stepped forward into the next one and
another guy stepped forward and we were both standing at
the same station. And I was like, oh dear, one
of us has screwed this up and I don't know
who it is.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I'm recommending it's you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Well, that's what I said as well. I was like,
I think it's me. And so then I went and
asked the instructor, I was like, where am I supposed
to be? And then he told me a riddle back
to me like, well, if you were on this and
that and then on stage three, then if you move
forward to the thing, I was like, dude, Come on,
look at me. I can't, this is, just tell me.
Minaya doesn't even know what day it is. He's got
(07:12):
no idea. And he gave me something like, well, if
it's the third Sunday after the harvest.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Moon and you're left-handed, but you're bat right-handed, you should be.
I was like, okay, okay, keep up.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
So anyway, in the end, the other guy goes, oh, good, man,
I'll just jump on this other one.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It's free over here. But I could tell there was
a bit of a vibe.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And so I'd like to apologize to him, although I
think he was still in the wrong.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
But anyway, massive milestone in my High Rocks career, first controversy.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Does that deserve its own Wikipedia entry?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, I know that shallow squatting is a massive problem
in the High Rocks community, and I just imagine you
would be prone to a shallow squat.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Shallow squat?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
I pride myself on my squats, but, you know, fatigue
gets the.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Better of us. Or just maybe target clipping, just throwing
the ball deliberately below the line instead of going over
the top of the line. Is that what they call it?
Target clipping.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Target clipping.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I'll do that at the next one. So anyway, yeah,
I'm a pillar of the high rocks community now.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You do look different.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Thanks. I look shredded. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Shirt off today, please. We're just talking about group fitness.
Minaya and Zoe have become hybrid rock stars. In fact,
they're even a team, a hybrid rock star team. They're
not only here at work together, now they're exercising together
as part of a team.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I didn't have a teammate yesterday. I had to pair
up with a random. God, that filled me with dread
as well. So I walked into the class by myself.
I already feel out of place as a hybrid rock star.
I don't think they see me as one of their own.
I was in a Warriors shirt as well. Apparently that's
not kosher.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
You've got to have.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
No shirt.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
No shirt. Or if you have a shirt, it's going
to be LSKD as the brand.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Or at least sleeveless.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Yeah, even Nike I don't think is kosher.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
It's got to be tight.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Tight, yeah. Oh, tight, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Or unless you have like a big baggy thing over
the top and then you take it off and then
you've just got no shirt underneath or something like that.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Obviously, there's a lot of energy being expended here. And
when you think about the group, right?
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
So it's just kind of pointless energy that's being expended.
Why don't you go and move someone's house for them?
Why don't you go and do some good in the community?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fill a couple of potholes in or something.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Go and lift some bins. Go and move some bins
for people.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Yeah, get something productive done. Yeah, so anyway, so I
pull up into that class yesterday, and then they're like, yeah,
it's a partnered class. So I was like, oh, this
is probably pretty close to my worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Because I was hoping to just slink into the back
and just hide in the corner and, you know, sweat
off the beers is all I'm trying to do. Then
they're like, all right, now, you know, and then they're like, Now,
high five your partner or turn to the person next
to you and say, you got.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
This, and I'm in the other.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh my God.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I know. And it's like, but then what are we
going to do? Just be fat for the rest of
my life? So I'm in there like, you got this.
So random.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I can't do the group exercise. I can't do it. I've,
I once went to a spin class. I've been to
one spin class in my life. I went to one
yoga class once. I was forced into doing this yoga
called yin yoga. Tulsi goes, oh, you'd like this one.
It's kind of more like meditation. You sit there, and
it's very slow. Because I can't stretch. I'm so stiff.
(10:31):
And she's like, well, that's exactly why you should do yoga.
It's like, that's why I'm not doing yoga. Because that
would be like someone who can't hit a ball playing
a sport where you've got to have hand-eye coordination. It's like,
you don't want to do that. So I went along
to this one spin class that I've been to. I'll
never go to another one. But the only reason I
actually went was because Tulsi and her sister, who was
(10:54):
living with us at the time, would come back from
these classes and they'd be like, did you see what
was going on there with the instructors? Like, that is
something really, really odd going on there. And I was like,
what do you mean? Something going on with, he's got
something happening down, I think there's a deformity or there's
some kind of weird It's quite a lot of, and
(11:17):
I was like, oh, you know, first couple of times
I just, I thought, oh yeah, whatever. Pretty much every
time I come back for about two months, there'd be
discussion about like what was happening down in this particular
instructor's bike pants.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
And I was trying to talk to them about, I said, look,
they said, I think it's a bit of kind of,
They were trying to explain what it was. Is it
a microphone pack?
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Well, after a while, they thought it was fake. They
thought that this person had put a whole lot of
things down their thing just to, because it was so much.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Running a fake hog.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It was so much.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Running a fake hog at the spin class.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
So after a while, I was like.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Does that need a Wikipedia entry?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
As a male, I can tell you exactly what's going
on down there, you know. And so I thought, I'll
go along and I'll just do some, I'll come back
and I'll do an explainer. So I went along.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Please explain it.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Jesus Christ. I know what they were talking about. It
was like a marrow. Is that right? It was like
someone had put a marrow down there. It was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But the thing is, usually, close your ears, Zoe, turn
your headphones off. You know, when you're in those situations,
you go into sports mode.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I know. Turn your headphones off, Zoe. You're not supposed
to hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
That's why it almost seemed like this had been placed there.
It was a foreign object that was placed. It was
so unusual. Gee, so that was this guy on sports mode.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yes. My God.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It was really bizarre.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Zoe's about to cut us off here. In fact, you
should have cut us off about four minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
That was.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Impressive.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Time for your latest sport headlines. Thanks to expert Ultra
the Beer for here. Blackcaps white ball skipper Mitchell Santner
has turned down an Australian T20 Big Bash League deal
in favour of playing more for New Zealand. The spin
bowling all-rounder, whose place in the test side is dependent
on conditions, has told the He's prioritising the Red Bull
series against India and Australia.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
That was rugged.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Accepting the offer would have forced Santner to forfeit his
NZC central contract and potentially the captaincy.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
How much, Jerry, you may know this, how much does
the BBL pay, the Big Bash League? Is it enough that, because,
you know, the IPL is probably in that realm of, like,
setting your family up forever, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah. But I don't think the BBL is quite there.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, I think it depends, obviously, because there's some that
will be worth a lot and there's others that won't
be worth quite as much. But apparently, a rookie tier
is roughly $ 80, 000 Australian dollars, so about $ 100, 000 New Zealand,
but less than. Yeah. And it's $ 420, 000 plus for the
best players.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Which you would have to say Mitch Santner would be
per season.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
He's probably in the, I mean, if he's listening, you're like,
you dick. But he's probably in the, 300 to 400 category.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I don't think you get much age out of 420
for him. I reckon he's one of the best in
the world.
Speaker 7 (14:11):
Yeah, no, he is.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
I don't hate.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Him like you hate him. No, I love him.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
You know me.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love Mitch. I reckon he's top tier, which would
be 300 to 400.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Yeah. How much would the Blackcaps get? Oh, you know what?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
How much do they get a year?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Shouldn't count another man's.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh, he's about 250 on a central contract.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Okay, well, fine. Stay with the central contract. Plus, he's
the captain.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah. And then you get match fees on top of that.
Warriors coach Andrew Webster is welcoming the versatility of Chance Nicholl-Clockstart.
He remains on the wing for Saturday's NRL League match
finals against the Dolphins, allowing Tain Tua-Pickey to continue at fullback. Meanwhile,
Reuben Cotter is free to play in the NRL finals
for North Queensland against Cronulla after his lawyer convinced the
(14:54):
judiciary to downgrade a high tackle charge from Grade 2
to Grade 1. Good job, that, isn't it, being an
NRL league player's... Oh, lawyer.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, yeah, because it's not actually court. It's a bit
of a kangaroo court. But yeah, they try not to
stand players down for finals games because that can swing
a finals and all it does is punish the fans, really.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yeah, especially on a thing that was an accident.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But I mean, it just means take a bit of
leeway this first weekend of the playoffs and take someone's
head off.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
You'll get away with it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, I think that's the other part about it. They
want a bit of physical contact in those finals. They
want them to be physical contacts, don't they?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's much closer to state of origin.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
And Rassi Rasmus has named his team to take on
the All Blacks at the Bolton in Baltimore. And we
cross right now to our South African correspondent, Breakdown Show 02.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
The Springbok team is out for the fourth and funnest
match in the greatest rivalry tour against the All Blacks.
And guys, we've got some epic players back once again
in the starting lineup. For the Springboks, we've got the
return of Damian Willemseur after his injury that he had
last week. And he's going to be crucial once again
(16:13):
in Baltimore, especially under the eyeball. And then, more than
ever on the bat, how good has he been? from
the bench for the Springboks in the previous games and
he gets a start this weekend and then Korpis Reinach
he will come off the bench for this game in
the United States and then the front rowers we've got
the very good and strong Ox and Che, Malcolm Marks
(16:37):
and then Wilco Lowe we all know what they did
at scrum time at the FNB stadium guys this is
your team for the fourth and final test match of
the greatest rivalry.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Tour Thanks very much for that. Not a lot of
shows have a South African correspondent. We really broke the
bank on that one. Big nah mihi to him. I
actually didn't catch his government name, but he just goes
by the name of Breakdown Show 2 on Instagram with
the team list there.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Hey, up next, let's talk about your Wikipedia page.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I believe it's progressing well. Is it? We worked out
the other day that Manai Stewart is lacking a Wikipedia page.
If you want to be a bastion of the community,
if you want to be a person out there out
and about doing work with young kids, with the disabled,
(17:29):
with different members of the community, you need to have
a Wikipedia page because when they introduce you to go up,
To the front of a school hall, for example.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah, an assembly.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
If you're judging a speech contest, then they need to
know some things about you. How are they going to
know anything if they don't have a Wikipedia page?
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If some student radio station wants to interview me, there's
no paragraph at the top of the Wikipedia page for
them to read out in the intro.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Exactly. So we have set to.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Which, by the way, has not been a problem for
me so far in my life.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Well, no, but that's only because, look, you're... You.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Think I'm on the up and up?
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Your career as a breakfast radio host is only beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I thought I was over the hill. I thought I
was on the back nine.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
No, I tell you what. You'll know about it when
you're on the back nine. Come and talk to me.
So anyway, we've got to Wikipedia and we've created an account.
Haven't we, Zoe?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
We have.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
We have created an account.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'm interested to see how this goes because you give
me a lot of stick about the admin that I
do in this show. Because we've got no marketing budget
for anything, so it often falls onto me. The uniforms,
the feng shui of the thing I'm currently making and book.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I bought two sharks. You're just so good at it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I am the engine of the administrative arm of this
breakfast show, and I'm interested.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
To see how you guys go about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well, I'm experienced and old enough to know that you
never want to do admin well. Because if you do
it well once, it will fall on you to do
the admin for the rest of time.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, I don't think anyone's accused me of doing it well.
We still don't have the sharks or the book.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But yours is not as bad as, say, if I
did it, because I could really botch it. So we're
looking for different things. We've got, obviously, early life. There's
obviously got to be some stuff about waimate in there.
There's got to be stuff about some of your past jobs,
working as a boner in an abattoir, as a stevedore.
(19:24):
As a llama sharer. Alpaca. There's, of course, the famous
time when you were on the dole for a large
period of time.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
I wasn't.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
A dole reject, actually. You were rejected from the dole.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That was the, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Man, they really zeroed in on that in the Women's
Day hit piece. I was rejected from the dole and
my partner was working two jobs to support me. I
was like, well, she was working two jobs at the
time I got rejected from the dole.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I don't think it's like, jeez.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Old Jeff's got to go back down the mines because
Monica's can't get a job.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
So, yeah, we're looking to put something together. A dossier.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
3483-0800-HODAKI. I mean.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Have we missed anything?
Speaker 4 (20:05):
You've missed everything because there's no Wikipedia page.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, there's going to be. There's going to be.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Is there? Where's that at?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
There's processes. Exactly. It takes time, these sorts of things,
to do it properly. Also, it turns out that Wikipedia,
you're not allowed to do a Wikipedia page for anybody
that you know or work with. Yeah, so that's a
big hurdle that I have to jump.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
So we're going to have to fire Zoe to get
this thing off the ground, is what you're saying? Is
that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, I'm not sure. I mean, this is the thing.
I think it's got to be done by a listener.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Sorry, I just Googled my name to try and find it.
Radio Star Mania's wild love story.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I know what they've done there.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That's animal-based.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Oh, boy.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Nah, we'll get it done. We're going to get it done.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
We're going to get it done.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
See the situation that's happened with Reece Walsh, the league player,
plays for the Broncos. He has, someone's shared his personal
phone number with a whole lot of people. So a
lot of people are giving him a call. Like heaps
and heaps of people are giving him a call. And
he's quite upset about it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well, he, so yeah, so somebody got hold of his
phone number and then just leaked it to everyone. People
started calling him, as they do. This is something that happened.
And he said, I've got 700,000 followers. You guys don't
stop calling me. I'm about to start releasing your phone
numbers to 700,000 followers. People keep calling him. So then
he took a screenshot of all of the calls that
(21:44):
have come through to him, put it on his Instagram story.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Uno reverse.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
The only difference is, I don't think anyone's going to
be calling those numbers. You know, like it's one thing
for a Hyundai to get hold of Reece Walsh's number
and be.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Like, oh, I'm going to call him.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
It's a different thing for a Reece Walsh fan to
see just a random number that could be anyone.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
They're not going to call that number.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
thing that he sent out on social media is super
interesting because it's it's a picture of him and his
daughter and it's him without a shirt on giving the
fingers with his daughter and then it says whoever whoever
given my number to they mates and telling them to
call me better tell him to stop before 700k people
get your number uh those eyes that are really open
(22:25):
Laughing face, laughing face. Or evil laughing face? Is that
evil laughing face?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Is that emoji evil laughing face?
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I think that's the Ruffalo Mayo face, the rolling on
the floor laughing my ass off face.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Well, because it's on an angle as opposed to the
one that's directly flat. The eyes make it a little
bit like, watch out. Watch out. It's a threat. Ha ha,
but watch out.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
And then it's got the photo of him doing the
fingers with his daughter there looking kind of, you know,
like he's got the eyeliner on and it's all kind
of working for him.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It's such a, there's so much going on in that post. I,
this is, um, happened to me when I, my first
job for the alternative commentary collective, uh, was I had
to send out all the invites or the tickets to
the lions tour, whatever year that was.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
That was when I started 2017. I think it might've been.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Um, and so that, and there were thousands, it might've
been about 2000 tickets that I had to send out
to people. And I just, you know, added all the
names in, hit send. My email signature was still on there.
with my phone number on it, my own personal phone
number on it. And I sent that to 2,000 ACC mutants.
And the next month of my life was just phone calls.
(23:33):
It was generally Friday nights and Saturday nights. And I
always think that it was someone from work, like something's
gone wrong. And I'm like, yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (23:41):
They're like, where's Lee Hart? Where's Lee Hart? Where's Jason Hoy?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, poor bugger. I think that he's got to change
his number, though. Yeah, yeah. That's the only thing he
can do. 700,000 people.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well, he doesn't actually know how many other people have
shared it.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
That's 700,000 that he's got.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
That's his followers, yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah. Anyway, if you want Jerry's number, give us a text, 3483.
I'll send it through to you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Jerry and Minaya, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
I was going to say, so yesterday we had to
film this video.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't know if it's up yet, but we got
a message into the group chat saying, hey, can you
guys bring in a couple of Warriors jerseys?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
We're going to film this thing. And I said, yeah,
I'll grab one for Jerry because he's a bandwagon fan.
He's got no merch. And so I brought one in yesterday.
Funnily enough, I'm actually wearing the one that you wore yesterday.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Is it because it smells of me? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, I missed you at this point.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Is it that or is it because it was just
on the top of my laundry basket when I got
up this morning and I get dressed in the dark?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Can I just say it did smell very good when
I put it on yesterday. It was freshly laundered.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yes, and dried on the lines.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Line dry.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Line dry.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
That's not like you.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
It is spring, yeah. But, yeah, I accuse you of
being a bandwagon fan that's why you don't have any merch.
You've actually got a different reason why you don't.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, I do. I'm too old to wear merch. Like,
I don't wear, like, you know, All Blacks jerseys or
Black Caps shirts or Warriors jerseys. I'm too old. I
look like a– I don't even know what I look like.
I just look like a– It looks tragic when you
get past a certain age. And I'm going to say
(25:20):
the age is 45. I was going to say, where
do you set the age range? 45.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Bec's coming. She's in Studio B helping us out with
the phones while Ruta's crook.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
She didn't like that. She didn't like that. I mean,
she's going to fit Freddie's shirt on.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
No, that's different. That's different. That's band t-shirts. Band t-shirts,
all good. No problems there. I'm talking about sports franchise merch.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I don't know what it is. It just looks to me....
Speaker 4 (25:52):
So you're setting the line. You think it's an age
thing that at a certain age you shouldn't be wearing
sports merch anymore? I reckon. You said 45, so I've
got another 10 years, you reckon.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You've got 10 years in you. I'm seeing you there
sitting in your Warriors jersey. It looks good to me.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It looks right.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
I've been doing all the high rocks lately.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
But imagine if I wore– just think about me turning
up in sportswear. Just think about it for a second.
Does it seem right?
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, but I don't know if it's an age thing.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Oh, it's just a personality.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Maybe. I don't know. Zoe, you're of a different age again.
I reckon it's a vibe thing, honestly. It's a vibe thing?
I think it's a vibe thing. Rather than an age thing?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Maybe it is a vibe thing. Maybe I've just put
it down to age. But it's actually maybe– I mean,
I don't particularly love wearing a uniform. I wore uniforms
all my life.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
And for me, it's just another wearing of a uniform.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
It is quite literally, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
It's the uniform of the sports team.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's a uniform. And it's like, I want to wear mine.
I want to choose. If I want to wear something,
then I just want to choose what I want to wear.
I don't want someone else telling me what I got
to wear.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Okay. Well, look out into Studio B now and drink
back in.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
See what.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Females? She's now put a Warriors jersey on.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Is this sexist? It seems different for females to wear
sports merch.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Different set of rules for women jerseys.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, I don't know. Is that sexist?
Speaker 4 (27:14):
On Women's Space Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Again, I'm just speaking honestly and openly.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, well, give us a text, 3483. Is there an
age limit on wearing sports merch? Is it an age thing?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Is it a.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Is it even a franchise thing? Like, for a 55-year-old
to wear an all-black jersey.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, even to an All Blacks game?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Yeah, definitely to an All Blacks game.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
You're not in on that?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I don't know why, this looks sad to me.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Let us know, 3483. I don't think there is an
age limit. I'm with Zoe, I think it's a vibe thing.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
The Hodaki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
We're just deciding how old is too old to wear
sports franchise merch.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yes, we talked about it the other day. We were
asked to wear a Warriors jersey into the studio. I said,
I'll bring one for Jerry because he's a bandwagoner and
he hates the Warriors and he doesn't want to wear one.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Jerry said, well, actually, it's an age thing. You feel
like over a certain age that you shouldn't be wearing.
That you shouldn't be or that people shouldn't be wearing
sports merch?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I wouldn't ever put my views onto other people, Manai,
and my judgments, whatever anybody else wants to wear, that
is up to them. Personally, I don't feel comfortable wearing
sports franchise merch as a 50-year-old. Person.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
49, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
49, about basically 50. Don't sell yourself short. But for me,
like if I was to go on to the All Blacks,
what is acceptable at my age, in my opinion? A scarf.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
A scarf, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
A scarf.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Do you know what I mean? When do you graduate
from the jersey to the scarf? Well, this is an assumption.
When I was in Sydney, I witnessed this happen in
the central city. So the Sydney Swans were playing a
game of.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
What do they call that? AFL.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
At the same time as the Roosters were playing a
game of NRL. And I noticed that people of all ages,
colours and creeds, were wearing jerseys when they were Roosters fans.
The AFL fans, they would wear just whatever they were
wearing but with a scarf. I actually think, and a
(29:16):
couple of people have texted in, I actually think it's a,
I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's
like whatever sport you support.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So like Warriors fans, Warriors is not a big scarf thing.
I don't think I've ever seen a Warriors scarf.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I've seen Warriors scarves.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Oh, maybe.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I feel like I've seen Warriors beanies.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, but I feel like whereas rugby is more a
chuck a scarf.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
On and just wear your business suit.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I've seen a lot of Wallabies scarves over the years.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Yes, again.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
But is it because they're yellow and they stand out?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I think.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Sam has hit it on the head here. Jerry, you've
mistaken too old for too elitist. Is it the fact
that it's people who are fans of elitist sports, which I,
you know, maybe rugby union. They want to wear a
scarf and a hat. Let's go to the phone lines.
We've got someone on line one.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Good morning. Hi, Darkie.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Who are we talking to? G'day. It's Jonty here.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
How are you going?
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Jonty, how are you, mate? Yeah, not bad, boys. Hey,
I reckon Victoria's pretty big with the AFL. It might
be just the cold, I think. Oh, so it's the
temperature issue.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I was thinking the same thing, Jonty, because also AFL games,
a lot of them played at night.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, freezing cold down in Victoria.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
And nowadays you've got a lot of All Blacks games.
In fact, all All Blacks games now are played at night.
You do see a lot of All Blacks scarves.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Tell me this, Jonte, how old are you and do
you wear your favourite sports team's merch?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
I've actually got a Warriors jersey on now. I got
Father's Day from the kids, so. Oh, congratulations.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, so you have to wear it.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, I have to, mate. But you would have anyway.
How old are you, if you don't mind me asking, Jonte?
I'll be 34 soon, actually.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
See, 34, Jonte, that's my nice age. That's fine.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yeah, it's sort of whirled at your feet there, isn't it, Jonte?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
I made it. I made it.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah. Kid could be anything sort of stuff. Thanks very
much for the call, John. A couple of texts through.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Corey said, my 70-year-old neighbor wears Warriors merch on game day.
Someone else said, Jerry's too scucks and too cool to
publicly support a team. I'm 57 years old. I have
60 Warriors jerseys, and I wear them every single day.
Dylan's accusing you of being a fake fan.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Hey, Dylan, excuse me.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Hold on. Let me answer Dylan's text.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
Dylan Marshall.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
From Hamilton Dylan Marshall 26 can I just say something
could be anything I wear my merch on the inside
to quote a once for warriors line.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Yeah okay yeah I agree read team jerseys Jerry etc
but I think any any adult wearing one looks tragic
particularly with a player's name on them grow up thank
you Brad says I'm with Jerry 49 now but actually
it's just because I'm not cool enough anymore Tim Rickens
is the boomer laddies wearing warehouse active intent branded sportswear.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
That kills me.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Okay. The other thing is, I don't know, you guys
must have noticed, but the shape of the jerseys nowadays
isn't what it used to be.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
So they started making them to look like the ones
the players wear.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That doesn't look good on the average Joe.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
No, this is what I mean. I'm looking at the
one that you're wearing at the moment, Mano, which is
the old heavy drill cotton.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
90s cotton.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Baggy through the sides.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
40 kilos if it gets rained on it.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, but warm, firstly, good natural fibre in the cotton,
plus a shape which, you know, when you get to
my age, if you've lived a decent life, you know,
you should be coming out the front a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Should we get a woman's perspective on this? No, Hayley
from Tauranga, she got spooked.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Actually, now, that's a good question as well, because I'd
like to know from a female or a male, is
a man in his plus 50s attractive in sports merch?
Sports franchise merch.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
How about this one?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Has anyone ever found someone in sports franchise merch attractive?
Who's not actually on the field?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Only the guys on the field. Um, and then this
one here, Jerry. So no sports gear, but doing a
ridgy is still okay.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Really Jerry?
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Well, that's shirtless content. That's a different thing.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Jerry and Mania, the Hauraki breakfast.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
That's elderly woman behind the coup by Pearl Jam on
the Hauraki breakfast. I never know quite what happens with
the rest of that song because unfortunately our font cuts off. Uh,
That's such a long name for a title.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town is
what the name of the song is.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You know it well, don't you?
Speaker 4 (33:27):
That never comes back into it. Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
We play it so often that we talk about it
every single time it comes up, and I've been accused
of only having one story because of it.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
Because it gets brought up every time.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Well, it was NCEA level two music, was it?
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Might have been.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That you failed?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Might have been one, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
That you failed singing that song?
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Didn't fail. You can't fail NCEA.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I was asked to resubmit.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Resubmit. And the line I like most about the story
is that when I said it, it must have been
just song choice, song collection. The teacher mustn't have liked
it because it can't have been that I didn't do
it well.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Well, as you know, I have a voice like honey
poured over thunder. And I don't know if anyone in
this room has a memory of me missing a note.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Do you?
Speaker 7 (34:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (34:11):
You couldn't tell me at the time, and I did.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yesterday, I would like your help on this, Jerry.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I look to you as my moral compass. I was
a bad Samaritan.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Something happened that I could have impacted, and I could
have made a change, and I didn't.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I just stood by and let it happen.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And I think if I'm going to be trying to
install myself in the community, this is the kind of
stuff that needs to stop.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
I was driving home yesterday, and as I drove down,
it's quite a long road. There's nowhere to stop. It's
the yellow lines along the side, so you can't park there.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I watched a woman walk out of the doctor's office,
turn onto the footpath, and as she turned, her sunglasses case,
or prescription glasses, I don't know, fell out of her
bag onto the ground.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
And then she walked off. By the time I drove
past her, she was about 10 meters past it.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
And I did nothing. And I know that there's a
woman out there who now does not have her glasses case.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Or potentially even glasses.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
What should I have done in that situation?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I need to know a couple of things. Firstly, was
there any place that you could stop? So you were
on the other side of the road. Which side of
the road was she on?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Her side of the road. She's on the left as
I'm driving along. It is a double lane road. There
is nowhere to stop.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
Park.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
It's, like I said, the yellow broken lines along the side.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
There was a bus stop that I could have pulled
into or someone's driveway.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh. Oh, there was a driveway.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It would have been a hectic manoeuvre to pull off
because I was going at about, well, let's be honest, 60. And,
you know, so to pull into the culvert like that,
I think it would have been crazy.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
So you're driving along at 60 along what is a
four-lane road, so two lanes each side.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
And.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
You somehow managed to see some person and you saw
their sunglasses? How do you even see that when you're
driving along at 60? You should be focused on the road.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Well, I'm perceptive. Well, I'm keeping a weather eye cocked
on every potential hazard.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
You need to keep abreast of what's in front of you.
Speaker 7 (36:13):
I am.
Speaker 4 (36:13):
And she was in front of me.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
And I was keeping so abreast of it that I
saw that her glasses case fell out.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
How old was she?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
40s.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Was she wearing sports merch?
Speaker 4 (36:27):
She was not wearing sports merch. Track pants. But she
was sick. She was coming out of the doctors. I'm
not going to judge her attire. What color hair did
she have? She had mousy brown gray roots.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Probably could have done with a touch up. And tracksuit
pants and a duffel bag. But again, she was on
her way to the home from the doctors.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
How do you know she was at the doctors?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Because she walked out of the doctors and into the.
Into the street.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Did she look sick? I mean, were you worried that
maybe there might have been some contact in there and
you may have flow A?
Speaker 4 (37:05):
That's the defence I'd mount if this was taken to court.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Why could you not turn into a driveway?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Because I was speeding in a 50 zone and I
couldn't just bang into someone's driveway.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
How much of the traffic was there around you?
Speaker 4 (37:18):
There were, to be fair, there were no cars behind me.
So I wouldn't have caused a crash. The other thing is,
you asked with justice, didn't I? Yeah, well, this is
the thing. I know.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
And this is why it's kept me up all night
and why I needed to bring it to you guys
this morning was because if I had seen someone else
do that, I would have brought them to swift justice.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I mean, in that situation, if you don't think that
you can safely turn in, it's on you. And clearly,
you feel the guilt.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Because you know deep in your heart that you could
have done more.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Someone out there.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
You know deep in your heart.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
And I have a big heart. I think that's my problem.
My weakness is that I care too much. Is this
too boring for 7.43? Time for It's Academic.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
We're going to ask you five questions.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
0800 Hauraki.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
All you need to do is get three correct to
win a $ 100 Bunnings voucher.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And get your school's name etched into the much-vaunted It's
Academic role of honour.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yes, $ 100 up for grabs today.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
We go to Napier where we find Chris, the retarded roofer.
Speaker 4 (38:25):
Good morning, Chris. How's Napier this morning?
Speaker 7 (38:28):
Mate, beautiful and sunny, as always.
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Beautiful part of the country, Napier.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Chris, what school did you go.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
To, Chris?
Speaker 3 (38:34):
What high school?
Speaker 7 (38:35):
I went to Wymer College in Richmond.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Just out of Nelson.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yeah, just out of Nelson there.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
It's already on its academic roll of honour. I feel
like there's been a few people from Waimea College who
have tried.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Big haunt, mate.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Big haunt. Yeah, she is. A fair few famous... Is
it a good basketballing school, Waimea College?
Speaker 5 (38:54):
It was.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Who are the famous people that went to Waimea College, Chris?
Speaker 5 (39:00):
Me.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Apart from you.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Fair enough.
Speaker 6 (39:04):
To be honest, I'm trying to think who was legendary
that went there.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
Can't think of anybody off.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
The top of my head. Okay, well, we'll see if
we can get Waimea College on their times, too. There's
a number that are times, too. Shirley Boys is their times, too.
Tauranga Boys is times, too. Stratford High School is times, too. St.
Peter's is times, too. Whangarei Boys High School is times, too.
I don't believe St. Kevin's is on there, which is
Mania's old school.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Because I'm not allowed to do it. Ken Wadsworth, ring
a bell to you, Gerry?
Speaker 3 (39:31):
The late Ken Wadsworth, yeah, totally. The black cap wicket keeper.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Didn't go to Waimea College.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
I was just wondering if you knew who he was.
He had the blonde hair. Great New Zealander. All right, Chris,
you know how this works, don't you? You've just got
to answer three questions out of five. Now, we get
the questions off the back of some Libra sanitary pads,
which we've got here in the studio. You can either
have the invisible questions, the extra questions, the maternity questions,
(39:58):
or the ultra-thin questions.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Mate, I'm going maternity today.
Speaker 7 (40:02):
You've got to be polite to a pregnant woman.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Good on you.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Very respectful on a Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Yeah, so they're super absorbent, those pads. They've got wings
and have an aloe vera-enriched top sheet. Did you know that, Chris?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
No, it's all news to me.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
All right, let's get into it. First question from Chris.
Right here. What is the largest organ in the human body?
Speaker 7 (40:27):
That'll be your skin.
Speaker 6 (40:28):
Correct.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Correct. Which New Zealand bird is featured on the $ 1 coin?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Is that the Kiwi?
Speaker 3 (40:35):
It's correct. Who is the artist behind the German hit
99 zu schluff ballon?
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Oh, is it Nina?
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Yay! Chris, they taught you well. Why me a college?
I think you should go for the clean sweep, and
we'll ask you the last two, because I reckon you'd
probably get those two.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
Go on.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Chris, what is the only mammal, Chris, capable of true flight?
Speaker 5 (41:00):
It'd be a bat, wouldn't it?
Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And who are the Warriors playing this Saturday?
Speaker 7 (41:06):
I did watch the game one thing and they told
us who it was.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Is it the Dolphins?
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 7 (41:13):
He's a genius.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
Keep going.
Speaker 7 (41:14):
Just keep going.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
He's a genius, Chris.
Speaker 6 (41:17):
Bring in another set of pads and we'll see what.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
We get out of it.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
Good on you, Chris.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Thanks for playing.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Thanks for listening to the Hardingy Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
Cheers, man.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Cheers.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
There's a sentiment out there around this show, Jerry, that
the show's gone soft.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
I think it's mostly, I think we can all agree.
Your fault.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Hold on. The allegation started about two years ago.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
I think we can all agree, Jerry. What's changed in
two years? It's your soft hands. You've got soft hands.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
What's changed in two years?
Speaker 1 (41:46):
Um and so in an effort to inject some hard
bastardry back into the show yeah a bit of mana
i think that's fair lift the mana rate of this
show up a little bit um i've been going around
trying to trying to round up some of the harder
bastards that i've found across uh social media would love
for a hard bastard to call in but it's not
really the kind of thing a hard bastard would do
(42:07):
um yesterday we played this guy who's um who's a
camel wrangler from australia uh We played it out yesterday,
but for those of you who missed it, have a
listen to this.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I love that as a casual statement, you got into camels.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
It was a dare, mate.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
I saw the job advertised in Fremantle on Centrelink under miscellaneous.
My mate dared me, so I never looked back after that.
I asked the bloke in the camel farm, I said,
you got a job, mate?
Speaker 4 (42:31):
I do camels. He said, you got a swag?
Speaker 7 (42:32):
I said, yep. Next thing we were out bush for
four months catching wild camels in the deserts.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
And I was green, mate.
Speaker 7 (42:37):
I didn't even know a camel threw a front leg
till I'd a broken nose and two black eyes. What
I found out the hard way, it's the front leg
on a camel that breaks your neck. It's the back
legs that break your pride. From there, done about 20,000
k's on foot now, trekking them across deserts.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Any major injuries you've had?
Speaker 7 (42:51):
Yeah, a couple of fractured necks. I've still got three
broken fingers. I've got a snapped cheekbone, a compressed eye socket.
I didn't even know I had a broken neck for
about a week until someone saw me walking strange in town.
So the fingers here that are busted, I was tying
a rope around a bull camel's neck and another bull
came out of the bush and bashed him. And all
of a sudden I'm attached to two heads of two
camels that were trying to, and it just cracked me
fingers off. And of course you're out bush, you can't
(43:13):
just call time out and come to town. You just
throw a Bessa block on your toe, balance out the
pain and keep moving.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
What I love about that guy. That is your classic Australian.
He's got a bit of honey badger about him.
Speaker 6 (43:25):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
But the way that the rhythm and the rolling together
and the quick speaking, that's a classic Australian. And the
saying for everything.
Speaker 4 (43:33):
I don't even know what the hell he was talking
about for half of that.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
That's a different language.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
The highlight for me is didn't even know I had
a broken neck till someone saw me walking funny.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
In town, which is brilliant.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
So we played that out at about, I don't know,
almost 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
We thought it needed another run this morning.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Our Australian content director, Percy Campbell, he would have come
across a million of these sort of operators in Australia.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
Well, he likes to think he's one himself.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
You know what? I think he is.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
He sent one through and he said, I reckon this
guy might even have him covered.
Speaker 4 (44:02):
This guy might even be more of a hard bastard.
Have a listen to this one.
Speaker 5 (44:05):
I think I had seven fights in five hours. I
only won three of them. My jaw broke and nose
broke and both my eyes blackened. So I got into
a bit of marijuana and a couple of bottles of
rum and that dulled the pain.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
That didn't work out.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
I ended up shitting myself and then ended up sleeping
with about three different girls over the weekend and rode
a wild horse and a buck and bull and come
home again. Most people haven't done that in a lifetime,
have they?
Speaker 3 (44:34):
What is it about those Australian guys? He had the
drool going on as well.
Speaker 5 (44:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (44:39):
Well, look, if you can top that, give us a
call at 800-HODUCK. I suspect there'd be no one out
there who could. We're looking for hard bastards.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
We're looking for hard bastards or people that know hard bastards. Yeah.
Like maybe it's a parent. Maybe your mum or dad
was a hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
A grandparent. Yeah, for sure. They don't build them like
that anymore.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
No.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
No.
Speaker 3 (44:58):
0800 Hauraki, 0800 428 725. You hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (45:01):
Jerry and Mania.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
We're looking for some hard bastards. There's talk in the community,
there's talk out there that the show's gone soft.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
Yeah, game's gone soft.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Since you arrived on the show, Mania.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Well, they're saying back in the 90s it was way harder.
But now they've got, you know, soft hand. The Pons
will be yeti with his soft hands in here.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Oh, people used to talk about Heath as a real
hard bastard.
Speaker 4 (45:28):
That's a good one. Tough act to follow. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Tough act to follow when it comes to hard bastardry.
But I will say, Jerry, in my defense, and we
talked about this recently, but we went on holiday in
like July and I got sick. And I didn't say
anything about it to the missus, just sort of toughed
it out. So don't talk to me about being a
hard bastard, all right?
Speaker 4 (45:52):
Yeah, that is impressive. Because I was walking along the
beaches of Coogee and Bondi with a bit of a sniffle,
all right?
Speaker 5 (45:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
I heard it was coming out both ends.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
It was at one point, yes, coming out both ends.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
And you didn't even share that?
Speaker 4 (46:03):
No, kept it under my lid, mate, because I'm a
hard bastard. You don't share that kind of stuff, right?
Speaker 3 (46:08):
No, that's impressive. I mean, to be honest, the former
host of the show, Matt Heath, I don't believe he
was ever wrestling an alpaca. He doesn't know what it's
like to wrestle an alpaca to the ground and share
that bastard.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
People always ask me what the difference between a llama
and an alpaca is. So a llama, I would pick
up and carry out of the pen.
Speaker 4 (46:25):
Sorry, an alpaca.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
A llama I once tried to grab around the neck
and it threw me clean across the pen and I
hit the wall.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
Crazy bastards.
Speaker 4 (46:31):
Big bastards. Big bastards. And I was about 100 kilos
at that time too.
Speaker 3 (46:35):
Are they angry bastards?
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Angry bastards. Hard bastards.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Yeah, hard bastards. They'll spit at you. Spitty bastards.
Speaker 4 (46:42):
Oh, and it's not saliva either. How have we been
waylaid with alpaca chat?
Speaker 3 (46:46):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (46:47):
If it's not saliva?
Speaker 3 (46:49):
It's a gland, is it?
Speaker 4 (46:50):
Is this too boring for 8.15? Is it a gland?
Speaker 1 (46:52):
They are pseudoruminants, which means they've got three chambers to
their stomach as opposed to the four that a true
ruminant like a cow or a sheep would have, which
means that they regurgitate their cud and chew it again.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
They spit that at you. So it's half-digested grass. And
they spit that back at you. One of them spitted
up my shorts once. I don't want to get into that.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Did it leave a mark? What do you get that
out with? Nappy sand challenge?
Speaker 4 (47:16):
What do you do with that? Nah, you just cop it.
You just do your best. You just go down to
the nearest creek and try and wash it out.
Speaker 3 (47:22):
Okay. Anyway. We're looking for hard bastards on 3483. I mean,
do you know.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Sounds like we've found one.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
I'll tell you what I did, actually. I'll tell you
what I did this winter, is I didn't turn my
bathroom underfloor heating on.
Speaker 4 (47:35):
Oh, you hard bastard. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
I left that off.
Speaker 4 (47:38):
Hardwood floors, eh?
Speaker 3 (47:39):
Mainly because of a.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
What did you do? Just make the kids wear socks?
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Limestone. I, um.
Speaker 7 (47:44):
No, I, uh.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
It was mainly because of the league crisis, actually. It
just cost too much. So they're actually a tight.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
Bastard, is what it is. You also cut back on
the cleaner once a week, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (47:55):
Yeah, once every two weeks.
Speaker 4 (47:57):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
Once every two weeks.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
That's a recession indicator if you've ever heard one.
Speaker 3 (48:00):
And can I just say also, I did play golf
yesterday without taking my prescription anti-inflammatories. I got arthritis.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Well, there you go, man. Let it not be said
that this show's gone soft, right? We've got a couple
of hard bastards in here.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
Jerry and Minaya. The Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 7 (48:19):
Jerry and Minaya.
Speaker 4 (48:20):
Join the conclave. The Hauraki Breakfast discussion group on Facebook
for more.
Speaker 3 (48:24):
I'm a bit distracted this show, I've got to say,
because I've been fiddling around with some admin on your
Wikipedia page, which I'm putting together, Minaya, for you.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
Yeah, how's that going?
Speaker 3 (48:34):
Good. I'm just a little stumbling block. I'm at Early
Life and Agricultural Roots. I'm in the Agricultural Roots section.
What's that like? Well, were you born in Waimate? Were
you born in Christchurch? Excuse me. Christchurch. Okay, Christchurch.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
We don't have to do this, by the way. We
can burn this.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
I'm just getting... I just need to just iron out
some details.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
Christchurch Women's Hospital.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
Okay, Christchurch Women's Hospital.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
They burned it to the ground after I was born there.
Speaker 3 (49:04):
Did they?
Speaker 5 (49:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
She's gone.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Was it that infected?
Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah. They were like, no, we've done it. That's the
best one we'll make, and we'll call it there.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
Okay, when I've got your... uh, in terms of your,
your CV and, why are we putting my CV?
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
So I've got meat boner down here.
Speaker 4 (49:21):
Meat boner.
Speaker 6 (49:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
I've got meat boner. I've got alpaca shearer.
Speaker 4 (49:27):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
I've got dull reject.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Um, is this what we're putting out there?
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Is that like, obviously you've got the ACC, you've got
doing the haraki breakfast from 2025 to, to present, uh,
Is there anything else that I've missed out there?
Speaker 4 (49:41):
Again, I don't want this.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
Hybrid Rockstar? Hybrid Rockstar, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (49:48):
The thing is, I can't see this ever actually getting
off the ground and getting to air. I can't see
anyone in here being able to actually make this happen,
so I'm not too worried about it. But I.
Speaker 3 (49:59):
I'm working away at it at the moment.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (50:02):
And then, okay, so in terms of, I've got your
personal life in here. I've got that sorted. Don't put
that in there. And then some of your key achievements,
including navigating an Oktoberfest trip with myself and ACC head, G. Lane. So, okay,
I think we're getting somewhere. So 3483 0800 Hauraki. If
(50:22):

Superhero Swift Justice writes this text.
Speaker 3 (50:28):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (50:28):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (50:30):
I don't know if I want my alter ego out
there for the public knowledge.
Speaker 3 (50:34):
It's going straight in.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Can you please add a woman of great mana? This
is the Hauraki breakfast. This Friday, it is Wear It
For The Wars Day, so everyone is teaming up around
the whole country to make sure that the Warriors know
they're being backed by the whole country. Chuck your Warriors
jersey or supporter merch on, Sherry. Wear it to work, school,
(50:56):
the gym like I did yesterday.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
No, hold on.
Speaker 4 (50:58):
Supermarket, wherever. Wear it for the wars this Friday.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
We've been talking about this on the show this morning.
I'm a 50-year-old, basically, man. I can't be wearing sports merch.
Speaker 1 (51:08):
We talked to people this morning, and they said that
it's a vibe thing. And what more vibe could there
be than the Warriors playing in the finals?
Speaker 3 (51:19):
I'd like to do something. I mean, I do wear
my support on the inside, to be fair. I wear
it strong on the inside. I've got a whole merchandise
tent going on inside of me.
Speaker 1 (51:29):
They can't see that, Jerry. That's the problem. And so
they need you to show it outwardly.
Speaker 4 (51:35):
No jersey? No worries, Jerry.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
Here's some ideas you can do. You could wear Warriors colours.
So maybe just like a bit of blue. I don't
think I've ever seen you wear blue.
Speaker 2 (51:43):
White?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
Could I wear white to support them?
Speaker 4 (51:45):
They've got white in their jersey.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
Yeah, I don't think the Warriors would drive past you
wearing a white T-shirt and go, Jerry's on board. So
what about paint your face like the national colour?
Speaker 5 (51:56):
What?
Speaker 3 (51:57):
Blackface. You've got to be very careful doing blackface nowadays.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
Even if it is all black.
Speaker 3 (52:03):
Or the black Warriors jersey that they had for a
while there. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (52:07):
Look, if you're not going to chuck the jersey on, Jerry,
I think you're going to have to paint your face.
Speaker 3 (52:11):
No.
Speaker 4 (52:11):
So those are your options. Paint your face or chuck
your Warriors jersey.
Speaker 3 (52:14):
I'll bring one in for you.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I'll bring one in for you. I'll bring you a jersey.
And if you don't want to wear it because you're
over 45, you can paint your face black.
Speaker 3 (52:21):
Beck Sandys is up next. Have a lovely day today.
We'll see you tomorrow.
