Speaker 1 (00:00):
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio
show The HURDARKI Breakfast podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So we're recording, so this is you know, this is
a I don't know if you guys are aware of
this particular type of format. I understand you've been in
and around the media for some time, you guys, but
this is a podcast. It so it's a little looser,
you know, than you're It doesn't have a name. No,
(00:25):
it's the podcast with no name.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Yeah, good question, and that's why we've been struggling in
the ratings. But hopefully that's that's why will bump it
up a little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I suppose we need to say who's on the podcast.
Rees Darby's here, Rachel House is here, and Oscar you're
in here as well, which is which I wasn't expecting
Oscar to be here, but it is wonderful to see
you and you guys are here because Hunt of the
Wilder People celebrating ten years, which doesn't feel it's been.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Ten years, and so he got the same.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
You guys are executives. But it's coming out and it's
going to be in cinemas again. We're going to do
a full re release it's the most popular film box
office in terms of box office of all time in
New Zealand twelve million dollars. I saw last time I looked.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Wow do Yeah? I wish we got some of this.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I didn't get any of that. It works? Do not get.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
The world?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I didn't either?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Who gets? Does title get all of it? Does that?
Is that the way it works?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Because he needs more.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Hopefully Julian Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, it'd be nice if they wrapped off a five
for Julian Yeah, young man.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
Yeah, I mean I'd like to think the producers as well,
because they work so hard on it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
And yeah, because is that the way? What is the
word normally works?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Is?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
You, guys, the cinema takes most of the of the
box office I think seventy the actual the actual cinema
because what they're selling really is people as their ice
cream and their popcorn. That's what they make their money on.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course, contributors also make a fair whack I think,
is that right?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yes? And they put because they put in the money
for all the marketing and stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And then the humble actors get nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
What happens we get to be rolled out ten years
later to talk about how launch people see it in
the cinema over overas the weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I think we're one of.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
The young few countries in the world where it doesn't
where actors don't get a kind of little royalty thing.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We're the only Australia you.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Do even there. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, we're so far behind.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, we've got a weird thing as well, a New
Zealand on TV and stuff like if you're on a
TV show saying the States and that gets played again,
you get the fucking residual.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, but not here because.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
All the producers got together in the nineties and agreed to.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
We could name names, but we won't.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
So all the all the reruns, people are watching a
seven sharp. You don't get paid.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, we don't even get paid for the first time.
That's the thing about New Zealand. You just do it.
You hope that one day there's going to be that
big break. Doing it for the big break.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So they are re releasing UNDERNESA. Is that what's going on?
You can go back and watch it.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
That's right. It's just lovely version and four K that
you can watch with the hands Dolby sound and hands
doubley you'll hear those what did you say that? You
can hear the chirping, you can hear the twig snapping
as they run through. Very assive.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's what they're saying. It's not three. You're not putting
on the three. You're not going all DAWs. Three.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
We're going to as a view master.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But you got a love of you master.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yeah, three D click through.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Does it feel like ten years since that movie came
out for you guys, because it doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It feels like.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Twenty to the looks.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I've done a lot of stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, you have. You have done a lot of stuff,
But I've done.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
A lot of stuff, right, you opened that up?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I did. But it's time feels like it's definitely moving
faster these days. Right, But this is ten years ago.
This is before all the tyranny, all the you know,
COVID waivers happier times.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Ten years when this came out, the only terrible thing
happening was although the lips were dying in sixteen sixteen,
Oh yeah, yeah, David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Everybody's like,
what's happening to the world?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And now, look, always the way is that there's always
something that becoming a good thing, last good year old people?
Is that right, and then all bad?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You know it's been down however, think.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Yeah, but it's you know, I want to say this
like it's it's not like us to celebrate anything in
New Zealand that we've created. So this is a milestone.
To celebrate something that we've actually created. Put it back
in the cinemas ten years later, do an anniversary and
have a bit of a hoopla about it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's right, but not too big.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
A hoopla because you don't get a hit of yourself.
That's the important thing. You don't even want to get
a hit yourself. Although you've got to say you and
you guys have been around for as long as me,
so you'll agree. I'm sure we've got a bit better
at at least accepting ourselves and we can't really celebrate
ourselves like completely.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I think the younger ones so are doing a pretty
good job of it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Wouldn't you celebrate themselves a bit too much because they've
gone too far? Some of these I think they've gone
too And that's what I reckon the house. The whole
tall poppy thing was actually just us going don't get
a here to yourself because you're coming.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think I think all of our parents would have
said that to us at some stage, or you just
just stay in your lane and their parents parents don't.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
When we held back too much, you see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Then you let it go and now we ever don'ts
who are all about it?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Well, it's so deep fault blood. I don't think we'll
ever get too ahead of ourselves too, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
We couldn't tried. It's just it's just in us.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
So to do this feels weird, but I'm really happy
to do. I think it's important that we celebrate our
arts and our successes.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah, and a story about love and chosen family and
you know, friendship and the state system.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You're off the grid. Your character Rachel Paula, Like, what
a great character? Was that a great character to play?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah? I love it playing did you?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Did you find it easy to find the Paula and you?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I found it very easy maybe but too easy. It
was great.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
It was so much fun because it was the kind
of the opposite I think of me, So it was
really nice. It's always nice playing someone a But.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And was it the filming of it? Because it looked
like it was deep bush, but I imagine it was.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
It was, it was.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
It was where they came on horses roam.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, that's kind of what you kind of got
to do.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It was like, yeah, that was nice. That's where I
was really yeah, and all that, and we had the
new Army helping us out.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
The Army helping us. They got to ride.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
And they also did the catering for us a y.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It was go out and kill deer.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, they said potatoes like potatoes three different ways and oiled,
really boil.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wouldn't we much lift.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Real super Bowl? And that was in the days before drones.
So all the aerial shots are actually from helicopters with
the camera on them the olden days, because nowadays it's
all drones. Everything's got such amazing production value these days, right,
it was how many helicopters take a head.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
But there's a little bit of drone, remember we had
a second unit did a little bit of drone, but
not as much.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And not as good, I don't think, because it's all
the technical stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I mean, in the old drone can make things look good.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Now, oh yeah, you know, you just whip one up
and away you go. Used to cost thousands of dollars
an hour.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, now you can just buy one g D three.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah, they're like two days, is that?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I know people are going fishing with those things. They
put the line on the drone and just shoot that
thing way out into the tasman seat and drop it
and then they'll reel it back on like a wench
as well. It's got to be rules against that, that's
not why do they I guess you can cast it
further than you'd be able to with your God given strength,
but you.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Are the poor people without boats.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I've got a drone. You can get a drone
and not a boat, that's right. Yeah, although they had them.
We were in Australia Minor and I last weekend at
Barron Bay and they had them there the surf life
saving people to find sharks.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't know about that, that's what but that's what
they said they were doing. But I don't know because
they were just hovering up and down the beach the
whole time.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Perving Aussie is for you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
There's always a PERV out there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And a shark did come into the bay and that
bloody set perfect No, I was also perving. You know,
there's them's the brakes when you're over there, and why
were you and Byron Bay, these are the questions that
we're getting a moment. Yeah, what was a wellness retreat
(09:59):
we took? We took a couple of our listeners on
a wellness retreat. So we got home. I got back
to work from holiday over Christmas. And what's the first
thing you do when you get back from holiday? You
go to a well book another holiday and so the
boss here said, you guys just want to go and
get on the purse and the company dime. We said, no,
we want wellness, we want health and balance, and then
we want to come back and be revitalized, re energized,
(10:21):
be able to share that with the listeners.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And they bought that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And so we went over there and got on the
past be four days and Bay.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We balanced it out.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
There was a bit of there was some there was
a breath with the breathwork.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You guys, how does it go?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You go, really, you've done more? Yeah, and then you
do it to her. There's a one of them, the
person that that guides you through it. And then you
do quite like.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Then you're like two minutes of that and then it's
it's quite full on.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Did you drink your own pa or anything like that?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That was definitely the vibe, although they didn't request that
of us, but it was like you were kind of
bracing for the All right, now take your pants off
and we're all just gonna But that never happened. One
of the guys that came and did it with us,
he described it as nature's nangs. So you're just breathing
in and out until you start seeing trippy colors and
feel like you're going to pass out, And that's basically it. Yeah,
I found out a few things about myself good. No,
(11:27):
I didn't like them, but yeah, so yeah, so that's
how we managed to fund a pistrip over there.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Jerry and Manaia joining the complaint the Hidaki Breakfast discussion
group on Facebook. For more, Jerremy Wells and Manaia Stewart
find them on Instagram at Hodarki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
What are you guys all doing at the moment other
than what you're doing here promoting for the world of people?
What's what are you doing? Oscar? What are you up
to at the moment?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Do you I'm a local government politician.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I am.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I'm on the local board of Henderson Messy making sure
that all the playgrounds have shade and you know, rubbish
gets picked up on time.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
How are you finding that? Having a cry from from
working where you've worked in the.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I'm still doing that stuff, but this is kind of
like my day job.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you can do both of them at the same time.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, because it's part time. It's only about twenty hours
a week, so and then I'm developing trying to make
some cool stuff at the same time. But I loving
being a local government politician.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Does that extend to two Peninsula? Is that part of it?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
At one hundred and thirty thousand people? Chota too, Henderson
te South Glendean, which is the size of Dunedin.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's how big Aukland is. I'm in Chouta,
two Peninsula. Yeah street, uh, Graham Gram Confusingly, we work
on Graham Street and I live on Graham av. So
the amount of times I've ordered an ober around the
wrong way and ended up at work and I was
supposed to be at home vice versa. It's the nightmare.
(12:54):
Just not enough bars around, not enough pubs because yeah,
because of the trust.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So that'll be one, but isn't.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
But the alternative is having a liquor store on every corner.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I thought it was dry. I'd like that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Is there a law out there though there isides?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, they so they have rules about how many liquor
stores can be out there, how far from schools they
can be. And every election Whishty is getting to vote
and whether they want to keep that or have liquor
in the supermarket, And every election wisht thees vote for
the trust.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Which is interesting, isn't It is because there's two places
in New Zealand, the South and in the Cargo, and
then there's bloody Wistalkland. And you say both those places
like drinking.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The bloody speed cameras are they make the police make
so much money from the speed cameras at Westalkland. Lion's
share of the mark.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Dude, I got done. We were doing Taskmaster last year
and I got I got four speed camera fines in
four days. What driving home twelve o'clock at night and
I got like I was doing like sixty four or
something on Great North Row.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, no you can't. I know that exact speed
camera you're talking about would have been the one and.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It got me bad by o'donald's. It was like it
was well into the thousands.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, at least you don't lose the merit points for
speed camera ticket.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
No, thank god, because that would have been it for me,
to be honest. Yeah, I'm not going out there again.
That's it for me for west Auckland. After that, I'm like, so,
I don't know where the cameras are. I don't know
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We don't want you, we don't want you.

Yeah, I mean I'd like to think the producers as well,
because they work so hard on it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
And yeah, because is that the way? What is the
word normally works?
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Is?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
You, guys, the cinema takes most of the of the
box office I think seventy the actual the actual cinema
because what they're selling really is people as their ice
cream and their popcorn. That's what they make their money on.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course, contributors also make a fair whack I think,
is that right?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yes? And they put because they put in the money
for all the marketing and stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And then the humble actors get nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
What happens we get to be rolled out ten years
later to talk about how launch people see it in
the cinema over overas the weekend.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I think we're one of.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
The young few countries in the world where it doesn't
where actors don't get a kind of little royalty thing.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We're the only Australia you.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Do even there. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, we're so far behind.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, we've got a weird thing as well, a New
Zealand on TV and stuff like if you're on a
TV show saying the States and that gets played again,
you get the fucking residual.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, but not here because.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
All the producers got together in the nineties and agreed to.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
We could name names, but we won't.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
So all the all the reruns, people are watching a
seven sharp. You don't get paid.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, we don't even get paid for the first time.
That's the thing about New Zealand. You just do it.
You hope that one day there's going to be that
big break. Doing it for the big break.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
So they are re releasing UNDERNESA. Is that what's going on?
You can go back and watch it.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
That's right. It's just lovely version and four K that
you can watch with the hands Dolby sound and hands
doubley you'll hear those what did you say that? You
can hear the chirping, you can hear the twig snapping
as they run through. Very assive.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That's what they're saying. It's not three. You're not putting
on the three. You're not going all DAWs. Three.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
We're going to as a view master.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
But you got a love of you master.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yeah, three D click through.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Does it feel like ten years since that movie came
out for you guys, because it doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
It feels like.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Twenty to the looks.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I've done a lot of stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, you have. You have done a lot of stuff,
But I've done.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
A lot of stuff, right, you opened that up?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I did. But it's time feels like it's definitely moving
faster these days. Right, But this is ten years ago.
This is before all the tyranny, all the you know,
COVID waivers happier times.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Ten years when this came out, the only terrible thing
happening was although the lips were dying in sixteen sixteen,
Oh yeah, yeah, David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Everybody's like,
what's happening to the world?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
And now, look, always the way is that there's always
something that becoming a good thing, last good year old people?
Is that right, and then all bad?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
You know it's been down however, think.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Yeah, but it's you know, I want to say this
like it's it's not like us to celebrate anything in
New Zealand that we've created. So this is a milestone.
To celebrate something that we've actually created. Put it back
in the cinemas ten years later, do an anniversary and
have a bit of a hoopla about it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
That's right, but not too big.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
A hoopla because you don't get a hit of yourself.
That's the important thing. You don't even want to get
a hit yourself. Although you've got to say you and
you guys have been around for as long as me,
so you'll agree. I'm sure we've got a bit better
at at least accepting ourselves and we can't really celebrate
ourselves like completely.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I think the younger ones so are doing a pretty
good job of it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Wouldn't you celebrate themselves a bit too much because they've
gone too far? Some of these I think they've gone
too And that's what I reckon the house. The whole
tall poppy thing was actually just us going don't get
a here to yourself because you're coming.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I think I think all of our parents would have
said that to us at some stage, or you just
just stay in your lane and their parents parents don't.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
When we held back too much, you see, yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Then you let it go and now we ever don'ts
who are all about it?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Well, it's so deep fault blood. I don't think we'll
ever get too ahead of ourselves too, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
We couldn't tried. It's just it's just in us.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
So to do this feels weird, but I'm really happy
to do. I think it's important that we celebrate our
arts and our successes.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Yeah, and a story about love and chosen family and
you know, friendship and the state system.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You're off the grid. Your character Rachel Paula, Like, what
a great character? Was that a great character to play?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah? I love it playing did you?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Did you find it easy to find the Paula and you?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I found it very easy maybe but too easy. It
was great.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
It was so much fun because it was the kind
of the opposite I think of me, So it was
really nice. It's always nice playing someone a But.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And was it the filming of it? Because it looked
like it was deep bush, but I imagine it was.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
It was, it was.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
It was where they came on horses roam.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Okay, yeah, that's kind of what you kind of got
to do.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It was like, yeah, that was nice. That's where I
was really yeah, and all that, and we had the
new Army helping us out.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
The Army helping us. They got to ride.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
And they also did the catering for us a y.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
It was go out and kill deer.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, they said potatoes like potatoes three different ways and oiled,
really boil.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wouldn't we much lift.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Real super Bowl? And that was in the days before drones.
So all the aerial shots are actually from helicopters with
the camera on them the olden days, because nowadays it's
all drones. Everything's got such amazing production value these days, right,
it was how many helicopters take a head.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
But there's a little bit of drone, remember we had
a second unit did a little bit of drone, but
not as much.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
And not as good, I don't think, because it's all
the technical stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I mean, in the old drone can make things look good.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Now, oh yeah, you know, you just whip one up
and away you go. Used to cost thousands of dollars
an hour.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yeah, now you can just buy one g D three.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah, they're like two days, is that?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I know people are going fishing with those things. They
put the line on the drone and just shoot that
thing way out into the tasman seat and drop it
and then they'll reel it back on like a wench
as well. It's got to be rules against that, that's
not why do they I guess you can cast it
further than you'd be able to with your God given strength,
but you.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Are the poor people without boats.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I've got a drone. You can get a drone
and not a boat, that's right. Yeah, although they had them.
We were in Australia Minor and I last weekend at
Barron Bay and they had them there the surf life
saving people to find sharks.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I don't know about that, that's what but that's what
they said they were doing. But I don't know because
they were just hovering up and down the beach the
whole time.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Perving Aussie is for you.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
There's always a PERV out there somewhere.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
And a shark did come into the bay and that
bloody set perfect No, I was also perving. You know,
there's them's the brakes when you're over there, and why
were you and Byron Bay, these are the questions that
we're getting a moment. Yeah, what was a wellness retreat
(09:59):
we took? We took a couple of our listeners on
a wellness retreat. So we got home. I got back
to work from holiday over Christmas. And what's the first
thing you do when you get back from holiday? You
go to a well book another holiday and so the
boss here said, you guys just want to go and
get on the purse and the company dime. We said, no,
we want wellness, we want health and balance, and then
we want to come back and be revitalized, re energized,
(10:21):
be able to share that with the listeners.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And they bought that.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And so we went over there and got on the
past be four days and Bay.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We balanced it out.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
There was a bit of there was some there was
a breath with the breathwork.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
You guys, how does it go?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You go, really, you've done more? Yeah, and then you
do it to her. There's a one of them, the
person that that guides you through it. And then you
do quite like.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
I.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Then you're like two minutes of that and then it's
it's quite full on.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Did you drink your own pa or anything like that?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That was definitely the vibe, although they didn't request that
of us, but it was like you were kind of
bracing for the All right, now take your pants off
and we're all just gonna But that never happened. One
of the guys that came and did it with us,
he described it as nature's nangs. So you're just breathing
in and out until you start seeing trippy colors and
feel like you're going to pass out, And that's basically it. Yeah,
I found out a few things about myself good. No,
(11:27):
I didn't like them, but yeah, so yeah, so that's
how we managed to fund a pistrip over there.

What's what are you doing? Oscar? What are you up
to at the moment?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Do you I'm a local government politician.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
I am.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
I'm on the local board of Henderson Messy making sure
that all the playgrounds have shade and you know, rubbish
gets picked up on time.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
How are you finding that? Having a cry from from
working where you've worked in the.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I'm still doing that stuff, but this is kind of
like my day job.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And you can do both of them at the same time.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Yeah, because it's part time. It's only about twenty hours
a week, so and then I'm developing trying to make
some cool stuff at the same time. But I loving
being a local government politician.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Does that extend to two Peninsula? Is that part of it?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
At one hundred and thirty thousand people? Chota too, Henderson
te South Glendean, which is the size of Dunedin.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's how big Aukland is. I'm in Chouta,
two Peninsula. Yeah street, uh, Graham Gram Confusingly, we work
on Graham Street and I live on Graham av. So
the amount of times I've ordered an ober around the
wrong way and ended up at work and I was
supposed to be at home vice versa. It's the nightmare.
(12:54):
Just not enough bars around, not enough pubs because yeah,
because of the trust.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So that'll be one, but isn't.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
But the alternative is having a liquor store on every corner.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I thought it was dry. I'd like that.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Is there a law out there though there isides?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yes, they so they have rules about how many liquor
stores can be out there, how far from schools they
can be. And every election Whishty is getting to vote
and whether they want to keep that or have liquor
in the supermarket, And every election wisht thees vote for
the trust.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Which is interesting, isn't It is because there's two places
in New Zealand, the South and in the Cargo, and
then there's bloody Wistalkland. And you say both those places
like drinking.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
The bloody speed cameras are they make the police make
so much money from the speed cameras at Westalkland. Lion's
share of the mark.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Dude, I got done. We were doing Taskmaster last year
and I got I got four speed camera fines in
four days. What driving home twelve o'clock at night and
I got like I was doing like sixty four or
something on Great North Row.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, no you can't. I know that exact speed
camera you're talking about would have been the one and.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It got me bad by o'donald's. It was like it
was well into the thousands.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
Yeah, at least you don't lose the merit points for
speed camera ticket.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
No, thank god, because that would have been it for me,
to be honest. Yeah, I'm not going out there again.
That's it for me for west Auckland. After that, I'm like, so,
I don't know where the cameras are. I don't know
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We don't want you, we don't want you.
