Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio
show The Darkey Breakfast Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the first part of the Cherry, The first
podcast to see the sun, the first to see in
a new day, the day of our Lord, the fifth
of August, the third day of the week. Though three,
it is three. It's three, hey, anyone. I've got something
going on here which is totally unique. Never happened to
me in my life. Oney, nine years on the earth,

(00:26):
I feel like I've had most experience as well a
lot of experiences. I don't know what it's like to
be a super innuitant, for example, but I do.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I was on the doll for a bit.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
They make me feel like shit. Man.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Nah, she wasn't like at ridicted on the top anyway.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
So, and when I woke up this morning, I had
a lash.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
In my eye.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, and I've tried to get it out. I'm just blanked.
I've rubbed it, I've held it out like I'm doing now,
and then look around.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
There's some circles with it.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
You need to get that thing out.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
I put my lash back down there, and every time
I put it back down there, it's like I've got
a reverse lash going on going back into my eye.
This is the first time. This is the worst. This
is what I say now other day about the human body.
You would think, for a thing that lives so close
to your eye, it wouldn't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
This happens to me all the time. It happened to
be so bad the other day.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I had to go and get in the shower and
just like stare at the shower head trying to rinse
the eye out. Do you think it's the season? Do
you think there's a bit of Is it some kind
of disease? Maybe you gave it to me? Oh I
did that something? Well, maybe something's going This is highly unusual.
I can't work out. Must be one of these other.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Bits that sucks old.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
I wouldn't rub it. I don't know. You want to
know you can? Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I just starting to go pink.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I understand the impulse. But I did this the other
day and my eye was so blood shot, and I
went into the gym. I was like, I look like
I've got pinko. Like my eye was just that rubbed raw.
You know what? But no, you get your rubbing worked?
Have you got them the rubbing worked? Oh? No, how
it comes's going back.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah I knew that.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Wo that's a yeah, it's a bastard of a disease.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Ooh, that's just disease has really struck me down. It's
debilitating at five forty five. It is debilitating because it's like,
what have I done wrong? Yeah? The day's only just started.
You haven't done anything wrong yet, you know, and you will.
But shouldn't be punished for that kind of stuff. I mean,
there's historical crimes, yeah, but that's like kicking a dog

(02:35):
the day after it did something wrong. You know, you're
not going to learn you listen from those historical crimes
to be struck down by an eyelash. Karma's a bitch.
Man's a birch. Karma is a bitch. Tell my son,
that's just the other day. Karma is a bitchs a bitch. Brother,
See that exactly? I said that exactly?

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Did you click?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I No, I didn't, but damn it, I should have
done that. Just keep that in your pocket for me.
You don't know when karma's coming. That's what I've learned.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
You just hop up on a Wednesday and then all
of a sudden, there's a lass in your eye.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Honestly, I had to run in out of the car
the other day because I was like my own and
so much pain. There's eyelash that I can't get out
of my eye, which I actually don't think was an eyelash.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
What it was.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It was something great, something, Yeah, some sort of grit.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
What is grit? And how does it get in your eye?
That's the priest?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Oh, but a dust bit of sand into the conversation.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
This is like, I have like one of those like
irrational fears of having something in my eye now because
when I was I don't know, maybe like a living
or something. We were out playing, because I used to
live right by a forest and we were out just
playing the forest, the black forest, and I got like
a splinter in my eye, Oh my god, and like
not a big enough on that you could see it
or anything.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Two thousand and Five's Gold Coast, Bluest Eyes.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
No later than that, because I was living so too.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Isn't that when you want the thing beyond is always
a Grammy winner. You're always the winner of the baby wood.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I think the spark has gone, sorry.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
And you have we had I had to go because
we tried everything to get it out like you. We
did the water ends, we did like you. Mum was
trying to fish it. We were just playing like in
the forest and I was like looking up and something
like beer beer came down, a big beer and a
wolf and.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
A forest handsil and Gretel.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, it wasn't you weren't dropping like bits of bread
crumb just trying to get away from an evil step mother,
were you.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm not denying that.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
That's mata ginger interesting, that's better gingerbread.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
They could rune your father a wood.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Chopper, so you get so you got this stick, and
you're right.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah, And so then I had to go to hospital
because we couldn't get it out. And you know what
they do.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's so yuck.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So they clip up the top like island, and the
bottom one and they just ply them like apart. And
then he gets like this a little like a cute it,
but it's not. It's like its own little device and
it just fishes it. It sticks it in your eye
and fishes it out.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
It holds like your top like lid and your bottom
and it applies it apart.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
It was so gross.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Did they give you any.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
So in residence. Now I'm like, oh my god, something
stuck in my own If it's there for long more
than five minutes, I seen that happening all over again.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I beat you do. That's actually really freaky, Zoey.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Have you how's the quality of your eyes?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Like?

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Would you need glasses? Contact lenses? Is where I'm going.
Have you ever had contact lenses?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I didn't go to the pupils of your eyes there.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I have no, no, have not, but you we'd glasses?

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh these are just for fun. They are they performance now,
They're just like those blue light things.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Oh yeah, okay, anyways, that's my Yeah. It was a
good it was a good story. Maybe I give it
an eight.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
I got the old laser eye surgery. That was a
good one.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
They ram your eyes wide open. They use the metal
prong things to ram your eyes wide open. You are
under anesthetic, but you it doesn't hurt, but you can
feel it and you sort of braces it because they sorry,
they cut your eye open, and then they did with
the laser and because I'm like, fuck, this is awful,

(06:21):
and I'm lying there and I'm like, okay, I've just
got to do this twice.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
This will be sweep, I can do this.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
So the first one goes I'm like, okay, I got that.
One second one goes, okay, all right, we've done. We're out,
and so they get me out and then he goes, oh,
it didn't really work in one of the eyes, We're
going back in.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
And I was like, you didn't go with the cheap
option again?

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Did you know it was a ring door doctor ring.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's a first for you. You actually went to the best person.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Is he the best person?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
He's the best person, he's world leading.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Does he know pokey Poky?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
No, Polky polky? Oddly enough? You know, Philip Polkinghorn didn't
he didn't murder his his wife. He was found not guilty,
not guilty. That's right, He's not guilty of that. He
was found not guilty of that. He's not guilty of
that in a law a law. Yeah, despite what it

(07:12):
looks like, he did not do that.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, he was found not guilty.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yes, let's be clear about that. Currently. Obviously the coronial
inquiry year and so how did she die? Wouldn't you
want to get that squared away before you tried who Gilder?
I thought the same thing.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, I'd go with how did she die? First?

Speaker 2 (07:33):
And then if I found out, if I found out
at that point that she was killed, I'd go, Okay,
who did it? I wouldn't go who kelled her?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
And then go how did she die?

Speaker 2 (07:42):
How'd she die? I thought the same thing. I don't
know if they keep saying now, this is not a
trial of Philip Polkinhorn, but he does need to come
in every day and we're a suit, but that's not
a trial. I wonder what colored sox he's wearing, because
he's wearing some weird colored socks during that last trial.
It's a really good book by Steve Braunius about it.
Polkinghorn always think this stuff like because you don't know

(08:03):
how you would behave when you're grieving or morning.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
But we're accused of the murder of your part or
accused of the murder of your partner.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
But like say, for example, your partner went missing, and
I think we've talked about this before, but you go
down the police station and they are going through it.
You know, she was seeing here and here and whatever,
and you know, asking you all the questions where do.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
You think she could be?

Speaker 2 (08:26):
But blah blah blah, they go right Sun sets too cold,
there's a storm out there. Whatever, we're going to have
to halt the we have to hold the search. You're
just gonna have to go home. We'll get you back
in bright and early. We'll start the search again.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Go home and get some sleep. Yeah, go home and
get some Definitely.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Do you listen to music on the way home?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Do you go home? Did Jack?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, I'm just saying, you have to say, you've got
to go home, right. Would you listen to music?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Nah, I'd probably flick on news JA Marcus realist, it'd
probably be Marcus.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Would you call them?

Speaker 2 (09:02):
No, I wouldn't call him. I sort of feel like
I work in the same company. It would be weird
for medical and I know him.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Yeah, but you're so your wife's gone missing.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
You're driving home. Yeah, you just call on the Marcus go.
I always toast vocals twice, just give you, just give
you a VIGI might not anyway, Thanks, talking scious straight
back the spicious babe. Yeah, start talking aboutter conditioners. Yeah,
A question for you. Your partner's gone missing, You've gone home.
They have suspended the search. They're going to pick it

(09:33):
up again tomorrow. Do you do your skin routine? Before
bed or no, wow, that's a good.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Like do you brush your teeth even down.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
To the well, yeah, you brush you always, just because
it's gross waking up with whether you haven't brushed your
teeth the.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Night before you brush?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Do you brush your teeth at night?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Well? Ninety nine of.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
The what's there? One percent?

Speaker 4 (10:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Do you want he killed your wife?

Speaker 3 (10:03):
When he killed your wife?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Any of my wife?

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Anyway? You're going through your twelve step.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't think Zoey has a skin routine. She doesn't
my makeup.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
I reckon she's got some kind of skin routine.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Surely, No, I don't think she has a skin routine.
That's my guest. She doesn't my makeup? Am I right?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Look, I'll throw on a moisturizer right now.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
The percent of the time you don't wear makeup?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Do not?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Really? All?

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Right? Then?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Good for you.

Speaker 3 (10:33):
Here's one for you this morning, toothpaste.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
Toothpaste adjacent Kerry and Manaia joined the complay the Hodaki
Breakfast discussion group on Facebook For more cheer, any Wells
and Manaia Stewett find them on Instagram at Hodaki Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I am this morning. I woke up if I can
be open, honest and vulnerable. This morning, went to brush
my teeth and I put an X machream on my.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Bruss.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
It's it's almost exactly the same shaped thing because we're
at the radio the Pie Awards last night. It's just
a little bit groggy sort of what I open still
waking up sort of areas.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Went to brush my teeth and I looked at it.
I was like, fuck, that's a strange consistency for twoface
to look back in the cabin.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, beauty, I have like.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
An irrational fear of you know, when you're showing, like
and there's the shampoo dispenses and stuff like maybe in
an hotel or something that there's near in there in
the shampoo. Oh yeah, you wash your here with near
and then.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's near.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
It's that cream you rub on your you rub on
your hair that you need to remove, and you leave
it on for ten minutes no longer, and then you
wipe it off with a flannel. And if you leave
it on for twelve minutes, you're gonna.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Get Oh, I thought red rash. I thought you, I'm
talking about near for men?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is it like vat?

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, what is that stuff burn that How does
how does that work? What is that peptides? I think
it's the same stuff they use in draino. I reckon true. Yeah,
whatever draino is, I reckon that is and that's and
that's a heck. If you don't have any near and
you need to remove some here quickly, you can just
drain a We did it at school one year. We

(12:21):
did like a triathlon and we were like we we
all went and bought like those skins things that they wear,
and then neared the leaks.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I think it was veat.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
But yeah, that ship burns works.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Though it does work.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Drain works too, works, is real good, but I reckon.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I think it's reliant on the draino. Sometimes when you
get lip.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, okay, which train you're talking here, kitchen? Have you
got a non a non and syncarator sink? There's a mistake.
I actually had a conversation with former BFM Breakfast Taste

(13:11):
graham Hill last night around this same issue around in sincorators,
because graham Hill famously are greenie, but not a political one,
just a environmentalist one and understand knows more about plants
and animals and the way that the plants and the
animals work and how to grow things and all sorts

(13:34):
of crap that I've ever met in my entire life.
It's it's ridiculous. He's one of those people you can
walk along in the bush and you go, what's that
and you'll go, it's a blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. It's from blah
blah blah blah and dates back to Da Da Da Phillips. Yeah,
it's like a tom Phillips sort of. Yep. He's got

(13:55):
kids there in the bush with them and all sorts.
So he's like a tom Phillis without That's how I
describe him. And yeah, so he can and then he can.
He's kind of tom Phillips for the way, actually right, Yeah, yeah,
and I think less like Bushcraft like Lis can survive.
I don't know if he could survive.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
In the book, he knows that they have, but couldn't
do much of it.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yes, he just knows. He just knows heaps of information
about basically everything. Anyway, he was saying talking about he's
currently looking after an orchard for his partner's family and
the Chai mis and he's he's going back and forth,
and we were talking and he was talking about recycling day.
He moved very quickly actually, from talking about the chis

(14:36):
to talking about recycling day, and Tuesdays is recycling day.
And he's talking about that little bit in the scrap bun.
And I said, Graham, I'm surprised you're a scrap ben guy.
And he goes, I'm not. Actually, I'm not a scrappun.
I just said I put my scrap burn out, but
I don't actually put my scrap burn out. He goes,
he's mine syncretor. And I said, so do I And

(14:57):
he goes, well, you know, he goes, it all just
ends up, you know, let's just go down the drain. Yeah,
just goes down the drain and he says, all chopped up.
He goes, it's organic material, goes, it's going to end
up decomposing in a landfill, or it's going to end
up decomposing in the ocean, or it's going to end
up in poopons. But basically it's going to end up somewhere,

(15:24):
so you may as well just put it down the
place that's the most convenient. And the closest to you,
because if it wastes your time and energy. See, the
worst thing is the trucks that drive around and around
picking up the waste material to then go and put
into a hole. So then decompose with your other stuff.
And I was like, yeah, why don't they just buy
everyone an insyncorator because they're like about eight or nine

(15:47):
hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
I think it's about one hundred and fifty seven dollars
a year were charged for that bind that I have
never used.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Yeah, and I was like, fuck, should I ring the counsel?
Can I have one hundred and fifty seven bucks back?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Can you cancel? It has a bin? Can you cancel?

Speaker 2 (16:01):
No, You've still got to still got to pay rates
on you get to find its old tweets or something,
you still pay rates. So yeah, twelve hundred bucks, you
buy everybody, and then Cincarator be great for the economy,
buy everyone Syncarator always the money going to come from Jerry, Hey,
you're gonna bloody raise taxes now.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Came out.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
That was too quick.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I'm own announced.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I'm angry about every text related thing that came out
so fast that that's gonna that's gonna you have to
address that.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
That's my new thing. Always the money going to come from?

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I hate that. I know, well where is it going
to come from? It's like as the person asking that
never knows where any of the fucking money couts from.
So it's like it's like, oh, well, where do you
think the money that you know for the last one
came from?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Have you ever seen have you ever seen a council
rates bill? Have you even had a good look at it?
If you've never seen any bill, I don't look at
them and I don't pay them. And then it just
gets to the point where the missuses like ship we
would have paid this. It's a really good breakdown of
all of the things that you pay for. Well, they
should stop doing the breakdown because it makes you so

(17:11):
it's like, what, hold on, what this is? This is
just made up things called to such and such levy
and an environment levy, and it's like, that's just you
just made up. Yeah, don't tell me, so don't pretend
that there's actually places that this is just trying to
get as much money as you as be honest, you're
trying to get as much money as you possibly can.
So you can run the bloody city and not not

(17:34):
freak out about every single decision you make.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
And like gout, you're going to gat my eyes out.
Just do it, okay, but don't like. I don't want
to I don't want to know.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't read that ship the water bill I get emailed.
I'm about to try and block it from my email address.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I want to see the water bill comes out of
the fucking sky. The ship comes out of the fucking sky.
There's so much of it in Auckland. It's constantly fucking
raining of it.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I you one hundred and twenty bucks store.

Speaker 5 (18:01):
I sweat drove me fucking nuts when I lived Ribbon
friends with no footpaths and I opened the rates spell
it's like foot parts eight hundred bucks a year.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
I was like, fuck, we's been a lot on footpaths.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Man, I don't have a footpath.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, I say fuck foot paths is that controversial? It
doesn't matter if they're a bit rocky. You know you
can walk over how come you can walk over a
field but you can't walk over a foot part of
it's not smooth?

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Oh mate, we're growing up.

Speaker 2 (18:29):

put in a half pipe somewhere. It was like you go, kids,
