Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good morning, welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast. It's Wednesday
the 2nd of September. 2026.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Oh, brilliant.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Genius.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
If you're not inside the studio, which is everyone except
for the three of us, this is the day of
the week where our screens completely shit the bed, so
Gerry can't see the date, day, time, all he can
hear is Ruta clapping. He's got no idea what song's
coming up, what day it is, what date, and sadly
for Gerry, what the temperature is right now.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
LAUGHTER But I can tell you that it's the second.
I knew that because yesterday was the first and I
just had that in my mind.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
How long does that momentum last for?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I reckon tomorrow I'll be buggered.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm about the same. Hang on, it was the first
at one point this week. I can't remember exactly when
it was.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
You don't want to be doing maths just when you're
trying to do the intro of the show. No, you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
But it is the intro of the show. We don't
know what the first song was going to be to
start the show because we can't see it. Doesn't matter,
the kick-off remains. We're going to pick a song each,
and you get to vote. Give us a call now,
0800 HODAKI, 0800 428 725. What are you feeling this morning, Gerry?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, this morning I was thinking about this yesterday, and
my favourite David Bowie song is Modern Love. So I'd
love to kick the show off with Modern Love. So
0800 HODAKI, 0800 428 725, if you agree with me.
It's the anti-incubus. That's what I think of. So when

(01:39):
I'm thinking of a song to kick the show off,
first of all, I start at Incubus.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And then I jump to the other side of whatever
musical spectrum Incubus starts at.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
You jump through the wormhole.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
And I land in another place. And then I think
to myself from that point, I think, yeah, is that
a song? It's somewhere around that realm.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
This is the Andy Yankovic song.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, I am feeling the love this morning as well.
They've just convicted the guy who shot Tupac. So this morning,
for my kickoff, give me California love. Again, like I
said yesterday with Eminem, who's playing Eminem? Who's playing Tupac?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, not normally us.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay, so... Let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Should we go three calls to sign it?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Should we go? Yeah, let's try three calls. We go
to our man George this morning. Morning, George. Welcome to
the show. Morning, guys.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
How's it going?

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Good.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
How are you this morning, George?

Speaker 6 (02:38):
A bit better than yesterday. Sorry about my flippant decisions
with the songs.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
George, don't ever apologize.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
No, you've got to vote your conscience. You've got to
vote your conscience. And you didn't know you could vote
for both.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
No.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
Oh, yeah, I thought the old pasta girl was the
only person to be able to do it, but apparently
I could too.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
What do you want to go with this morning?

Speaker 6 (03:00):
I will go with Big Money Monica's there, another heavily
scented song for us.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Brilliant, George.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
And this is going to sound like I'm making this up.
The other two people on the line have hung up
since George answered.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Sounds like I'm making it up.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Sorry, guys.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
George's vote is going to have to decide.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, good on you, George. Thanks for calling in. You
have a lovely day, George.

Speaker 7 (03:21):
You too, boy.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right, see you, George.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Topical tune for the kick-off at ten minutes past six
because you probably would have heard in the news yesterday
that a person has been... sentenced, well not sentenced, but
charged with the murder of Tupac Shakur.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, convicted.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
So after years and years of that being a cold case,
that being unsolved, finally someone has been found guilty and
his name's Dwayne Davis.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Dwayne Kefe D. Davis.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Kefe D.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, I don't know if that's someone, gentlemen. Yeah, 63.
So the craziest part of the Tupac shooting aside from
the fact that um is it chris rock who's got
the joke about he was shot outside a mike tyson
fight and that more people saw tupac get shot than
the last episode of seinfeld and but yet nobody knew
who it was um tupac was only 25 yep i

(04:21):
remember on my 26th birthday realizing that i was older
than tupac would ever be And that he had achieved
so much more in his 25 short years.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
He almost got bigger, though, because I remember it well
in 1996. So he was on the rise. He had
that song. He had a couple of other songs. I mean,
he wasn't massive.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
And then that really propelled him into superstardom.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Getting killed. Yeah, it's a great step in a young
musician's career, and I think a lot of people should
look into it if they're pretty serious. I mean, you
and your broadcasting career, Gerry, would it make this show
go to the next level? You know, like a lot
of artists, their art appreciates massively after they pass.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, sure. So is there any way of living through it,
or do I actually have to die?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, there were allegations that he was still alive and
had faked his own death, Tupac, so maybe we could
go one of those sort of situations. I don't know.
I haven't heard of another radio station doing that as
a wacky prank, faking one of the announcers' death.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
No, I mean, there has been a radio station that
gave a kidney to an Orble. Oh, yeah. That was
probably about as far as things got.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Relationships breaking up. Yeah, yeah. Court battles.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Court battles. Maybe a custody battle would go good for us.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Something a little lower stakes than having to kill you. Yeah.
Have you seen the P. Diddy documentary?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yes, I have. So that's the end of the P.
Diddy documentary, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh, really?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
What did he.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Have to do? But he hasn't been mentioned in any
of this.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
No, well, he didn't do it, but they're saying this
guy did. Now, why did he? P.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Diddy.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Why did he?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Right. P.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Diddy.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Because Davis has not been accused of pulling the trigger.
He's just been accused of orchestrating the attack and also
of providing the gun. And so you say, well, why
did it happen exactly? Apparently it was a revenge killing.
Earlier that night, Tupac and members of his entourage had
been involved in a fight with Baby Lane Anderson, which

(06:26):
is Davis's nephew at the MGM Grand following a Mike
Tyson fight. And he has spoke publicly about it, Davis.
In fact, he wrote in his book about it. And
that's what's convicted him ultimately. But for the longest time,
people are like, well, you've got this book and you've
got this guy who's basically admitted to providing the gun
and organizing the whole thing. Why are we not prosecuting him?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
There's a guy going around saying he shot Tupac. And
you guys are sitting there going, jeez, we can't figure
out who shot Tupac. I think I know.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
And people will be like, oh, wait on. Here's a
book from 2019 called Compton Street Legend. And it details
everything inside of it, of what happened.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's like when guys release a song and it's all
about how they committed a heinous crime and then they
get arrested the next day.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
They're like, what?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I didn't do it. Hang on, I was listening to
the song on the way over to arrest you.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
The thing is, people say, well, why did it take
30 years? I mean, obviously six years since the memoir
came out. But part of the problem was that all
of the other people have died who were in the
car at the time or around. A lot of people
have been shot. Yeah, a lot of information sort of
has disappeared.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
A lot of eyewitness accounts no longer exist.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
So you reckon that's Diddy off the hook?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
By the looks of it. I don't know. I mean,
it was a good narrative, wasn't it? This is the
problem with the Diddy story. It was such a good
one because Diddy's such a dick. Everyone wanted to believe it.
So he's going to be sentenced on October 13th. Probably
life in prison for him. This is the segment where

(08:00):
we've been on a quest to try and find the
most boring chat possible.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I can't place this in our quest of dropping it
into neutral and coasting it into Christmas. I can't figure
out if this segment is trying too hard or not
trying hard enough in terms of neutrality, because we are,
while on one hand it is the most boring segment
you will hear on nationally broadcast radio, on the other
hand we're actively trying to do that, so... I don't

(08:26):
know if this is trying too hard or not trying
hard enough. It's both at the same time.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
I think it's competing with a lot of other people
for the most boring chat possible. I heard some pretty
boring stuff just the other day around babysitting in the
weekend that was pretty boring yesterday when I was driving
around in the car. So look, I think there's plenty
of boring stuff out there. Are we in the conversation
of boring?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Which is our whole point.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It should be a new segment at the new award
at the Radio Awards.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Most boring break.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Most tedious chat. And the nominees are, I mean, we've
got a whole list of our own, don't we?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Well, we started it with your toothbrush chat. So I
remember the conversation. I remember the way you started. Is
this too boring for 620?

Speaker 2 (09:06):
And I bought an electric toothbrush.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
And felt like up until then, I had been brushing
my teeth with a stick. It's so good. It buzzes. Sorry, anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Is it still going well for you?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh, my God. So it buzzes when it wants you
to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
My teeth have never been cleaner.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, I was going to say, your teeth do look clean.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
From across here, I can just see that. Have you
changed toothpaste as well?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
No, still sticking with the Sensodyne.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
But I will say my teeth... Oh, God, hold on.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
My teeth are even less sensitive, yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Sensodyne?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, Sensodyne.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Are you sure?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You want to do that?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I mean, I've made a stiff brazel set my teeth
off some days.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
You want to do that to your teeth?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Mate, I could bite into an ice cube right now.
I'd be fine.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Most days.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
No chance.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
So how did.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
We end up back here?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, then we then we got on to static blankets
we've also talked about fluff collectors lint filter yeah i
call it a fluff collector cast iron pans uh we
got stuck on rudy's hair for.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
A few days in fairness i think my hairline was
a segment standalone all by itself Was it part of
the boring chat?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I think it's kind of interesting.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's a good point. It actually wasn't in this segment.
So there we go.

Speaker 8 (10:15):
Jerry finds it boring.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, I put it into the boring category.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Jerry's just gone back through the most boring things.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm just gone. Too boring. Also, yesterday we moved into
brisket slow cooking.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
And then on the back of the success of the
boringness of brisket slow cooking, Zoe put her hand up yesterday,
and she's got a question for us about whether discussing
this would be boring.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Zoe?

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Y'all ever poached a chicken?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Poaching a chicken?

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:43):
A whole chicken or just part of it?

Speaker 4 (10:46):
What?

Speaker 7 (10:47):
No, like a couple of chicken breasts.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Where are you poaching that sucker? And how are you
poaching that sucker?

Speaker 7 (10:52):
Well, let me tell you all about it.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
So I get the water to a boil and I
put a little bit of spices and stuff in there
and I put a bit of coriander in there as
well to make it a little bit more flavorful. But
no salt because apparently that ruins the poaching of the chicken.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh, does it?

Speaker 7 (11:07):
I know. I know.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
So you get it up to a boil. That's not boring.
That's not boring. No, that's interesting.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh, shoot me out of the segment then.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
So then you put it in the boiling water and
then you just take it off the stove and you
just leave it.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
For an hour.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
For an hour?

Speaker 7 (11:23):
Well, it says 30 minutes to, I just forgot about it.
So it was an hour.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (11:28):
I left it in the hot water for an hour.
Came out perfect.

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
I'm chucking that in a salad.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
So, and was it a whole chicken?

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Well, two chicken breasts, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Two chicken breasts. Okay.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
They were perfect. They're still in my fridge.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
What do you mean perfect? Because when I think of
poached chicken, I think you're pulling that thing apart with
a fork.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
Yeah, no, well, kind of. I'm putting it in my salad,
so it is in little bits, yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
No, I mean, I've seen, I've eaten poached chicken before,
and I've been in a house where a chicken has
been poached.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I've never.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I didn't even know it was an option. I've never
poached one myself.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
You're missing out.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Because I'm normally just a bachelors handbag guy.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah. I cooked a chicken breast in a skillet yesterday.
I don't know if we've got time for this, but
it did happen. I want everyone to know that.

Speaker 7 (12:16):
Did it go well for you?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
It went really well. All right, I'll tell you. So
you want to char it on the one side. The
trick with cast iron, as we've talked about before, is
you don't want to get it too hot. Six or
seven on my hob, that'll do it. Shake the pan
when the protein is ready, it'll release. You've charred one side,
you've charred the other, but a thick chicken breast is
not going to cook all the way through.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
So what do you do?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
You pour a cup of water in there, put a
lid on, leave that for 10 minutes, cooks it straight through.
Juiciest chicken you'll ever eat.

Speaker 7 (12:41):
But I would argue the poached chicken is way less admin.
You just throw it in there and then leave it.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Definitely, yes. Yeah, I think so. Because you're basically, you're
kind of semi-poaching.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I'm willy-poaching.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
You're just at the end of it. You're Chewbacca-ing. Right
at the end of it. Okay, so look, that was
not boring at all.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
You don't have access to the text machine, man.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's a good.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Thing about radio is that you get instant feedback. You
can get it on 0800 HODAKI or you can get
it on 3483 on the text machine. That's what makes
radio fantastic is it's live.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's local and it's loving it. It is live, local
and loving it on Port FM. Bit of feedback, fellas,
this morning. Off the back of our most boring segment
of the day, which we may top later on in
the show, we don't know, about poaching chicken. Jeff writes,
how do you rate success with this segment? You clocked

(13:38):
the boring chat last week when you were linking Studio B.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Oh, really?

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, you reckon that was the most boring when we
were running the admin live on air.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I found that to be one of the best days
in my radio career, actually, when I accidentally pushed the
right button on Studio B and linked Studio B with
Studio A.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, brought in a new dawn, a new day.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yeah, totally. A new life.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
James writes, only breakfast radio could self-source about their own
shit chat.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yep. Not wrong about that.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Another text writes, I like all my meat poached. A
good spotlight helps.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
See, there we go.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Malcolm writes, I've poached a few ducks before. Lee writes,
poached chicken chat straight into radio head. Nailed that segment.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Jerry and Manon. The Hauraki Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
6.32 on the Hauraki Breakfast. Time for your latest sport headline.
Thanks to Export Ultra the beer for here. The Warriors
have opted to rest a pair of seniors for Saturday's
regular season finale against Manly in Auckland.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Coach Andrew Webster has rested Kirk Capewell and Wade Egan. Well,
he's hardly a senior. He's 29, isn't he, Wade Egan?

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Did I look him before? Is he 29?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
He is, but he has the wear and tear of
a 70-year-old.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
He's not walking post-career, is he?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
No.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I mean, once a game, you watch Wade Egan go
down and go, oh.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I know. Every time he gets tackled, there's a wince.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah, yeah. And then he gets his head in some deep,
dark place.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
And he's not wincing because he's a puss.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Oh, he's not a puss, no. In fact, I believe,
and this is an allegation I'm going to make live
on here, I walked past one of those, you know
those seafood boil places where you sit down and you
have the bib and they pour all the seafood out
and it's got like covered in hot sauce and that?
I walked past the Warriors at one of those one day.
There's a bunch of them. It was a few years
ago now. And the only one who wasn't wearing gloves
while eating that stuff was Wade Egan. So let it

(15:33):
not be accused that he is a pussy.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
No, he's no puss.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Because he's eating seafood. bare hands.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Is he really 6'1? I'm just looking at his Wikipedia
here and he says 6'1, 91kgs.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Have they taken that information off his Tinder account?

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Is he 6'1? He doesn't look... Anyway, I'm not sure
about that.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
You look taller in your pictures.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
To Mighty Martin and Chanel Harris-DeVito return to the halves
after withdrawing from last week's win with hamstring complaints. The
Sea Eagles have selected a full-strength side. Well, good on them.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Good on them.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Are they in the top eight?

Speaker 8 (16:06):
No, they won't make the top eight.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Right.

Speaker 8 (16:07):
This will be their last game.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Of the year. Last hurrah. Well, could we call in
one last favour from our dear friend, Kiwi's legend, Kieran Foran?

Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, yeah. He's like, hey, man.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Sling one our way, eh? Score us a loose one.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Has Lowy got any power at the Sea Eagles anymore? Lowy?

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
Graham Lowe.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Graham Lowe. Ritchie?

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Is Ritchie still there?

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Ritchie, definitely.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Geoff Toovey?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Geoff Toovey got a.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Not so much.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Now, I'm just scrolling. So who have the Panthers got?
West Tigers. Benji, brother. Could we pull a couple of
strings there? Could you win a game for us? So
if Benji goes out there and beats the Panthers like
he did against the Roosters a couple of weeks ago,
then that knocks them back. And if Kieran Foran throws
us a solid.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'd rather him not throw a solid at us.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
I'd rather him not throw a liquid at us.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Meanwhile, the fourth-ranked Roosters appear happy to concede. In the
battle for third, resting nine front-line players for the match
with the Bunnies. Third-place Dollies have named a near-full-strength side
to play the Titans. Look, if you don't know anything
about rugby league, you're listening to this going, what the F.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Are you talking about? Yeah, get back to poaching chicken.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
If the Warriors win the minor premiership, they'll face whoever
wins fourth in a home qualifying final next month. I mean,
does anyone understand that?

Speaker 2 (17:22):
No, I can't keep track of that. I can tell
you one man who can, that is Montgomery Beetham, and
he joins us on the show later on. When? 840?

Speaker 8 (17:30):
740.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
740. He's won a minor premiership.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Off the back of a disqualification.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I want to know how important it is to win
a minor premiership. Is it something that the team talk about? Because, like,
for example, could you tell me who won it last year?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I could.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
The All Blacks have a clean bill of health as
they prepare for the third rugby test of their series
against the Springs. The decider.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
The decider.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
In South West Town on Sunday morning, prop Ethan DeGroot
and lock Josh Lord both appear fit for returns. Will
they make the side though? I mean.
Front row went a lot better when he wasn't there.
I mean, I don't want to say that about my relative,
my cousin.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Conversely, how did the line-out go? We didn't go very
well at the line-out, and quite often we had to
resort to throwing it to the front. Now, could Josh
Lord go some way to fixing some of those problems?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, he's a line-out specialist, isn't he?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
And when have we sat here as a country and
had earnest rugby union analysis? We haven't had that for
a long time. Rugby's greatest rivalry has been a great tour.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
And former Auckland... to Auckland. Former England Test cricket captain
Ben Stokes will be available for the Adelaide Strikers for
their entire Big Bash League T20 campaign. The 35-year-old has
previously played in the competition back in the 2014-2015 season,
featuring in four matches for the Renegades. Wow, 2014-2015, still
playing in 2026, 12 years.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, yeah, but he's only 35. So, like, world at
his feet sort of stuff. Like, he could be anything. Like,
I wouldn't say that that's just the end of someone's
athletic potential just because they're 35.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Sure, Minaya.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
How old are you, Minaya?

Speaker 1 (19:08):
35.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
That's what I'm saying. World at my feet sort of stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
The good thing is, when he finishes playing for the Renegades,
they could do another couple of standing ovations for him
after playing for two games. He'd love that.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Jerry and Minaya. The Hodaki Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Is anyone still going to the movies these days? When
was the last time you guys went.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
To the movies? I went with you to the Jackass movie.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
That was the last one I went to.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
And that was just like a media screening because we
were going to interview the Jackass guys. So they were like, well,
you need to see the movie before you interview them. Didn't.
But yeah, but I think in the wild, it's not
often that people go.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
To the movies.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Before that, I went to Oppenheimer. I feel like that
was the last one.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Be a couple of years ago now or maybe a
year ago.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah. There's a thing that happens, obviously, because we work
in the media. This is an unrelatable chat, but we
get invited to, oh, come and watch the movie, and
then hopefully you guys talk about it on your radio show.
I showed up late to that Oppenheimer one. It was
an IMAX. I sat in the front row and just
looked at the point of Cillian Murphy's chin for an
hour and a half.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh, did you?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
The explosion was pretty impressive, but the rest of it,
not so much. I think the COVID probably wiped out
most of the movies. Before COVID, you used to go
quite a bit, but then since COVID, not really. We
went to one which was, so back in the day,
Radio Hauraki used to do movie premieres, so you could
win tickets to come and watch the movie, but then

(20:31):
also there'd be separate movie premieres, which is the red
carpet Art and Materials type situation.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
I invited the missus to come to one of the movies.
We're going to invite her to Wonder Woman. She said,
do you want to go watch Wonder Woman? She goes, yep.
I'll come straight from work. I thought it was just
a Hodaki promo. We show up. She's come straight from work.
At that time, she was working on a farm. She
was in polar fleece pants, covered in head to toe.
Not covered in shit, but, you know, could have been cleaner.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Sounds like she's covered in shit.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Covered in shit. Head to toe covered in shit. She
wiped a couple of holes out for her eyes so
she could see the screen and pitched up to the thing.
And I thought it was like a Hauraki premiere before
we went. I thought it was just going to be
us and listeners. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
No.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Dude, we pull up, and she's holding my hand, and
we walk in, and we have to queue up. And
then I look down. We're on a red carpet.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Oh, no.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
I turn around. Behind us is literally Art and Matoodles,
and my missus' hand is about to, like, break all
the bones in my hand. She's squeezing my hand so hard.
She goes, what is this? I was like, oh, I
think I've taken us to the like red carpet premiere.
And we turn the corner and it's like set up
like an ancient Roman Coliseum and there's photographers and there's

(21:46):
people dancing and hors d'oeuvres. And the guy comes over, oh,
do you guys want to get a photo? I was like, no.
Just grabbed her, like dragged her around the back of
the thing and into the theater.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
You were ashamed of your partner. You were ashamed of her.
You should have taken her straight through the middle of
that red carpet.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Paraded her.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Here we are.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Here she is in her Ridgeline Polar Fleece pants with
cow shit on them. On the red carpet. Art and Materials,
hop in. We'll get a photo together.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I kind of feel like, I don't know. I'm looking
at the prices here. It's bloody expensive to go to
the cinema. I don't want to run the cinema down
because cinemas are like every business at the moment, just
trying to battle away, do what they do. And they
do definitely offer a service. But tickets are around $ 22

(22:34):
for an adult, standard ticket, and $ 12 for a kid.
So if you're a family of four, then you're going
along and you're looking at $ 65 with the tickets.

Speaker 8 (22:46):
Yeah, if you sign up to the app and things,
then you can get a family pass for like $ 60.
But the thing that kills me is when the kid's like, hey, Dad,
can we have an ice cream? And you're like, absolutely.
And then they're about $ 11 each. For a chocked up
ice cream.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Right, okay. Well, there you go. So you're looking at $ 80. Yeah. Basically.
And for me, I sort of stopped going to the
movies when my kids got to a certain age because
I'm like, well, I'll just wait and I can watch
it later on. But I've got to say, as a hack,
that the hungover, when you've got real little kids under

(23:23):
five and they're waking up early in the morning, You
get them to that cinema early and you can sleep
your way through that, especially in the gold class.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Because what were you going to do when you were
hungover anyway? You were going to lie in a dark,
cool room, watch a movie, eat junk food, drink fizzy.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Oh, it's great. And you can say to your partner,
I'll take the kids to the movies. And your partner's like,
good on you.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Treat yourself this morning.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yep, that's right. You go and do something with your
friends and I'll take the kids to the movies and
you're like daddy. However, nowadays I think the line has become,
it's too expensive now, it doesn't work out. for a
hungover sleep.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
She's like, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You're buying 60 bags for a hungover sleep. I don't know.
So recently you've had a lot of sports people have
been looking to other sports to try and gain inspiration.
And you've actually had a little bit of, you had
a bit of cross code contamination coaching as well going

(24:17):
on because Michael Checker, he's a guy that did a
little bit of, it was a league.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Rugby League, yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
He was also Rugby Union.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
So he coached Argentina in Rugby Union, Lebanon Rugby League.
He's currently an assistant coach at the Roosters, a rugby
league team. He's coached Australia in the past. So yeah,
he's cross-coded similar cards.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
How's the tombolo going on his head?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, brutal.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I know that Ruda was monitoring his tombolo because Ruda
was concerned that he was going to eventually end up
with a Michael Chekka. A tombolo. And the tombolo is
what happens when a headland is created. Obviously, when you
get the Widow's Peak going, when your hair goes back
in the corners there, you get a bit of a
headland pushing out.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Almost like a peninsula.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
A peninsula.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
You get a peninsula. And when the top of the head,
right on the dome part of it, when that falls
away and ends up going to the sides, it then
releases the peninsula and turns it into what's called a tombolo.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
Right.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
So when the isthmus disappears, then you end up with the.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
With the tombolo, which is just basically a headland which
is broken away from the main part of the mainland.
That's right.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
It can all be fixed with peptonics.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
It's like an island of hair that ends up in
the front of your head there. Jonah Lomu ran a
very small tombolo.

Speaker 8 (25:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Almost like a third eyebrow. Yes. Sorry, I've been way
late talking about tombolos. But Geordie Barrett has reached out
to Ryan Fox, which is interesting, because I think this
is the first time ever I feel that golf and
rugby are very different. So different. Golf takes, for a
professional golfer to play a round, believe it or not,

(25:59):
it's like five and a half hours. Disgusting. It's so long.
They take so many practice swings and it's not a
good time.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
No.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
People look at professional golfers and think, that'd be a
good life. No, it would suck. It would suck. I've
seen it firsthand on, playing in the New Zealand Golf Open.
I've watched how intense it is for those guys.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
They're joyless suckers, aren't they?

Speaker 1 (26:23):
It's so joyless.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah, it's not the same as just going out for
a hit with your mate.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Oh my God, it's joyless. Sometimes no one even says anything. Yeah,
it's pretty joyless. So anyway, All Blacks midfielder Geordie Barrett,
he's reached out. Because of Ryan Fox's steely mindset, he's
gone to Ryan Fox and he said, how do you
get that steely mindset?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yes. So I've got a quote here from Geordie Barrett.
He said, what we got from him was the importance
of a fearless approach. Like when he was standing on
the 18th tee, he could have hit a five or
six iron, but he stood up there and thought, bugger it,
I'm hitting the driver. I'll trust in my ability and
take it on. If I'm going to lose this open,
I'm going to do it my way. and he said,
if you look at parts of the game from the
past two test matches, the good moments we've had is

(27:04):
the part we really pride ourselves on. So I think
it's about going deeper into that part of the game,
those good moments from us being mentally free, brave, using
the ball, defensively coming forward and meeting the collisions. I
would say it's working because he has been our best
for the last two test matches, Geordie.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Yeah, and he's also our best golfer in the All
Blacks side.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Good point.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
He's on a two.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
That is a good point.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
He's on a two. He's reasonably fearless. He's also the
best cricketer in the team. He's the best at everything,
Geordie Barrett. That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, he was the best player at the bloody Black
Clash the other year.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
He can bowl.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
He can bowl in like the 130s. Okay, well, so what?
You've been given a bunch of advice from Ryan Fox.
Why aren't you better at anything?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It doesn't seem to work for me for some reason.
I mean, I think we could take this on as
a show.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Okay. Be fearless.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Be fearless.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Be brave.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Be brave.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
Pick up the driver.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Stop trying to lay up all the time, you know?
I think we're always laying up as a show.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Go to the driving range?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
No.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Knock this thing on the head and go to the
golf course?

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Actually, we've got other issues. We've just got the Yip.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Jeremy Wells and Minaya Stewart.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
The Hodaki Breakfast.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Jeremy Wells and Minaya Stewart.

Speaker 3 (28:13):

Speaker 1 (28:14):
A while back, you came up with a game called
Whakamana or Nose Kai.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yes, it was a Kiwi version of a game that
I saw a couple of British geezers playing called Sniffle Puff,
and I was like, this is great. Whakamana or Nose Guy.
We did some great New Zealanders. A lot of their
legal teams have reached out, big fans of the show,
and they wanted some money off us. And then last
week we did Star Wars. Last week we went through

(28:39):
Star Wars, yeah. And then we put the video up online.
Someone said, what about native birds? So this morning I
present to you Whakamana or Nose Guy, New Zealand native
birds edition.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
So you reckon we can tell a native bird... by
whether or not they would smoke the whakamana or sniff
the nose kind.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
I reckon there's a few really easy ones. So straight
off the bat, by way of a warm-up, the kereru,
the wood pigeon.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, the kereru just sits in a tree, absolutely whakamana-ed out.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Of its mind. Out of its mind, dude.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Gorging on puriri berries.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
And then finally when it decides to move, I mean,
it moves from branch to branch, and those branches, they
really drop down when they're, When the kereru gets moving.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
You could spot one from a mile away in the bush, yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
When I'm in the bush.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
But then when they swoop and they fly to another tree,
they go low.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
And- Because they're big suckers. Yeah, they are big suckers.
They go as low as approved by the South African
aviation rules.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Yep, they do. They're like an air link.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
They are like an air link plane. And the other
thing about them, if you've ever been close enough, you can-
hear their wings hitting themselves underneath them as they flap
now that is whakamana behavior.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah occasionally they mistake windows for reflection or the reflection
of a tree in a window for a window a
tree and then they end up smashing into a They
come straight through that thing. And in that situation, you
can grab that bird.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
And you can eat that bird.

Speaker 8 (30:02):
In that situation.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Is that right?

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Would you poach it?

Speaker 1 (30:06):
I don't know. Zoe would probably poach it. Actually, can
you eat that bird?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I probably can't.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I mean, look, if you get arrested for eating native
birds and you go, hey, but I heard Jeremy and
I saying you could do it. Look, that's on you.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I would take it immediately to my local tanga te
whenua and I would say, you do what you need
to do.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
I would eat it. So that's the kereru. So let
me give you another one to display the other side
of the spectrum, the care, the humble care. Now, pulling
cars apart. Just causing problems. Pulling cars apart is big
nose-coy behavior.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
You've been awake for too long, you're bored.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
And now you're causing issues. You've seen something shiny. You're like, well,
now I have to have that. So you go and
just rip it off a stranger's car right in front
of them while they're in the car. You see a
pair of shoes outside that person's house. And you go,
I want to take one of those shoes and then
the shoe lace out of the other one. And that's it.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Did you ever see that footage of the Kia that
was sitting on top of the sheep? And so obviously
Kia live up in high country in the South Island.
And obviously sheep live in high country in the South Island.
And the sheep were eating some stuff that the kea
was eating. And then the kea went, you know what?
I think I may as well start eating these sheep.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
What are you doing with that eye?

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So they went on the back of the sheep and
they would just start pecking. And they realized the sheep
couldn't do anything about it. And they just would peck
away in the kidney region. And then just the sheep
would just stand there, couldn't do anything.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
No.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
And the bird would just start eating its kidneys while
it was alive.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Big nose-kai behavior, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Now, what about a tui?

Speaker 1 (31:43):
A tui. For me, that's clearly nose-kai.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yes, because it's keeping you up. It's a really obnoxious
honk that they have. They're probably my favorite bird going
around at the moment. But, yeah, whenever one pitches up
in your backyard, honk, honk.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Who said that?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's just right.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
And they can also impersonate people. But the interesting thing,
the tui as well, you very seldom see them on
the ground.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
I don't think I've ever seen one on the ground, no.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
That's why they don't really tend to get caught by
other cats, etc.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
What about our native bird, the kiwi?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Now, this is an interesting one.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Emblematic of the country.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
It is nocturnal, which says to me it's been up,
you know, on the nose-kai.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Nose-kai.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
And have you ever seen or heard a kiwi having
a scrap? Yep. It's pretty intense.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yes, it is full noise.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
I'm going to say, even though you're thinking it's a
bit of a whakamana sort of a vibe, I reckon
actually nose-kai.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, I agree with that. I think so. You're up,
like you said, up all night scrapping. That's nose-kai. You're
not doing that on the whakamanas. Did you find the
audio of the scrap?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
That kiwi's been up on the nose kind of like
five days. You need to sleep.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yeah, 100%. I've got a few more to get through
up next. Give us a text, 3483, if there's any
birds that we've missed. Will you accept native mammals?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Do you want to bring native mammals into it?

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Marine mammals?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
I mean, there is the bat, of course.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Again, nocturnal, blind, nose guy.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
The Weka will be an interesting one. I'm interested to
see where you sit on the Weka.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
We're playing Whakamana vs.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Nose Kai Native Bird Edition.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yes, that's right, and we've had a bunch of texts
come through on 3483. Do we need to explain? I
feel like every time we do this, people are like,
what's going on?

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Probably helps.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Okay, so Whakamana, cannabis, Nose Kai, Kai that goes through
your nose. Do your own research. This week, you know,
in the past we've done Star Wars, we've done Great
New Zealanders. This week, New Zealand native birds. A couple
of texts come through. Chris, my football team are called
the Weckers and are definitely on the nose-kai. So definitely nose-kai.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Wecker, for me, Wecker's got a big nose-kai vibe.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Fearless.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Fearless. I remember watching a documentary a few years ago
where a tramper had gotten lost and got frostbite in
their foot. Woke up one morning, didn't realise bloody Wecker
had taken off with his toe.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Oh, no.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Fearless and sane.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yep. Fearless and insane zone. Nose kai. Willie reckons, not native,
but seagulls are nose kai hard.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Oh, yeah. And scrapping with each other.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Over nothing.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Also said, and thoughts please on native birds on K Road,
if you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
The kiwi is purpose built for cocaine. Its nostrils are
at the end of its beak, where other birds have
it up at the bridge of the nose or the beak.
That would be pretty impressive to watch, actually.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Okay, someone's had a deep think about that.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Now this one here, magpies have a Pervitin vibe.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Oh, okay. So Pervitin is the brand name for methamphetamine.
So the Nazis.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Brand name.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, the Nazis invented methamphetamine.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
Well, it was invented in Germany anyway. And then the
Nazis used it. They gave it in pill form to
their soldiers.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Hence why they could just keep soldiering on. Soldier on.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
That's so effective.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
And it's the same thing that's obviously found in cod roe.
So anyway, yeah, that's what that is. Basically meth.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Magpie's pervasive.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
Oh, 100%.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
And completely paranoid over nothing. It's like, magpie, I'm not
going for your nest.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah. I'm just walking through the park. Oh, you're coming
to attack my nest, are you? How about I swoop you?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
When was the last time a human attacked a magpie nest? Never.
I've never even seen one.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Oh, mate, walking to school as a kid was a nightmare.
We would get them in plovers, plovers, plovers.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Oh, yeah, plovers.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Whatever the hell those things are. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's so good, though. It's true that they are massively meth-y.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Magpie pervitant.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
The moor pork is definitely on the Bolivian marching dust.
It's the eyes, I think. It's the crazy, like, hectic
eye contact. Again, nocturnal. So they're up all night just
staring at you with those eyes. And you look at
them like, geez, if I say the wrong thing here,
he's going to go me.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Which is nose-kai.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
Piwaka-waka.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Oh, heavy nose-kai vibes there.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Heavy.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Flittering around all over the place. In fact, most birds
are more nose-kai, aren't they?

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Generally, yep. Chris agrees with that. A fantail flits around
like he's just double-dropped an eki on a Friday. No
idea where he is. Uh, what about give me the pukeko?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Uh, for me, that's whakamana, flapping around pointlessly.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
And, um, and also not that, not that afraid of you.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
But, um, but hanging out in groups, I don't know
what that, actually I was, I played golf yesterday and I,
I hit a ball straight through a couple of pukeko,
wandered through. They've no fear, which is unfakamanary, but I,
I don't know. I've, I feel whakamana.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
To me, it's nose-kai behavior because they are often in
urban environments. They're unfussed about that. They will be in
some of the grossest environments that you see and you're
just like, geez, what are they doing? Picking through a
bin or something? You know what I mean? It's sort
of glass barbie in the CBD areas.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Where do you sit on the fancy, on the fat pukiko,
the takahe?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
The takahe. See, that's probably a little bit more whakamana-y
for me.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
A bit more solo operators. You know, they look like
they're in their own world whereas pukiko, you'll find them Yeah,
like you said, in clusters, in urban environments. What about
a shag?

Speaker 1 (37:38):
100% whakamana.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yeah, little blue penguin.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's a difficult one. I think whakamana.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Okay, yellow-eyed penguin, the hoiho.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Whakamana.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Whakamana. Kakapo, takahe, I think whakamana. The gannet, I think
is nose kite. And what about the hot-breasted milf?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Never heard of it.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Never miss Geri and Manoia. Set the Hauraki Breakfast podcast

Hauraki Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Full time here at Go Media Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland.
The Warriors are top.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Of the log, heading into the final rounds.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
They have beaten Newcastle 46 points to 32.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yes, so the Warriors are guaranteed a top two finish.
And they lead the NRL table on points differential over
the Panthers. By one. Yeah, and they're set to play
Two playoff games in Auckland. So on Saturday they wrap
up the regular season against the Manly Seagulls. Just looking
at the TAB numbers now. $ 1. 30 the Warriors are paying

(38:52):
to win. The Seagulls are paying $ 3.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
50.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Kick-offs at 5pm. You can watch it on Sky Sport
1 and Sky Sport Now. Joining us now, former Warrior
Montgomery Beetham II. Montgomery, you have won the minor premiership.
You've been in a team that's done it. Put it
into context. What's it worth? I mean, I understand it's
a couple of hundred thousand dollars divvied up amongst the team.

(39:16):
That's just going to be a bit of piss money,
is it?

Speaker 5 (39:18):
Yeah, I don't think nowadays we got to see any
of that money, but it was nice to get that shield.
But back in the day, 2002, a whole head of
hair back then. Warriors only got the... minor premiership because
they got the salary, well, there was a salary cap
breach from the Bulldogs. So they got taken all their
points off them. So we went from second on the

(39:40):
ladder to first as a result, 17 wins that year.
And at the moment now, the Warriors of 2026 have
17 wins. So in the club history, That is the
most in the regular season. So if they win this weekend,
they go and take out a record, which is 18 wins.
And potentially, as a result of that, maybe the Tigers
can get up and do some of their best magic.

(40:00):
Probably hard to see. You know, you get a minor
as well.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, what is the minor premiership worth to the team?
Is it something that they talk about at the Warriors?

Speaker 5 (40:12):
No, no, I don't think so. Even back in our day,
it was never really something that we spoke about. I...
I don't think I'm going in there today to watch
from afar and to have a look around the players.
I'm pretty sure that they won't be talking about that.
They've got their eyes firmly on winning. I know, Jeremy,
you said that you've got two games at home, but

(40:33):
you've got to win the first game at home of
the finals. to get our next game at home, which
will be the prelim final. So if you win week one,
you get a week off and then you play in
the prelim final and then you travel to the big dance,
which is over there in Sydney. And, you know, that's
pretty good because the thing about going over there to
travel for the big show, if you're good enough to
get there, you haven't left home for a month. That's huge.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
That's interesting. I mean, you've been there before. How does
this team compare to the team that you were a
part of?

Speaker 5 (41:04):
Look, I think back in the day it was a
team of champions versus a champion team. That's probably the
easiest way to sum it all up. There's enough X
Factor in this team, but just the process, the systems,
what they value in terms of the effort areas, going
after the games, the hard head in and around the place,
even the young boys who are just playing above their

(41:27):
years in maturity and playing so well. You know, Dimitric Waimonga,
who's I think he's, what, 22, 23, and he's played
50 games now. On the weekend, you had 11 guys
23 years of age or younger.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Whoa.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
The squad of 18 or 19. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Yeah. It is crazy. This team doesn't seem to fit
the mold of teams in the past that have always had, like,
one massive superstar player, Reece Walsh last year, Nathan Cleary
for the 15 years before that, it seems. Is that unique?
Is this an anomaly, the way this team's set up?

Speaker 5 (42:02):
Well, it just shows with all the halves that have
come in. I think our fifth half was playing on
the weekend and everyone talks about systems and how good
they're coached. They've had these systems since 2023, but they're
very tightly connected. They're very, very well coached, not just
by Webby, but also their assistant coaches. And they enjoy
each other's company. And, you know, with the game being

(42:24):
as tough as it is now with the six against,
they've got the best discipline in the competition. They have
the best completions. So they never beat themselves, but as
a result of that, they just take you into those
deep waters, which makes it really hard to beat them,
especially with the sprinkling of the liquor with Jacob Laban,
the way he's been playing of late. I know Alufiana

(42:45):
Camparera's speed and Wade Egan, who's just been an absolute
wizard in there at number nine. So I don't know
about you boys, man, but my player of the year
has got to go to someone in the middle, and
I'm going between Wade Egan and Fisher Harris.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Well, that's interesting you say that, actually, Monty Bethan, because
how much, though, is it important? You've got those young stars, clearly.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Zesty boys.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
But then, to me, having Mitch Barnett and having James
Fisher Harris just solid as a rock, and you look
at the calming influence that a couple of those real
seasoned pros have, like proper seasoned pros, and the respect
that those guys have, that must be massive.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
And throw Kirk Capple into the mix as well, one
of the best basketball queens in this year. And he's
won two NRL titles at two different clubs, and there's
no coincidence why. Just seeing what he's been able to do,
his leadership, his ability on the field, and we talk
about effort areas, he's the one who goes after it
more than anyone. It's a bit of a shame that
Mitch Barnett leaves because I would have loved to have

(43:46):
him there for one more year with that leadership, that
standards that he leads and that he pushes, that all
our young boys coming through just learn, feed off, understand
that gets, you know, just put into them, drummed into them.
And it's going to be a shame, but they're coming
through nicely. You know, Tanisdale Smith and Eddie Iremia, Toyaba,

(44:08):
all these young boys. We've seen the Sealy get the
start this weekend out on the left edge. You know,
you've seen what he's been able to do. He's been
in the middle, been on the edge, and even been
at centre. So, yes, it's just a really nice mix of...
the experience versus the use. And just across it all, though,
is that discipline and the hard-nosed approach, which is underpinned

(44:29):
by a lot of connection.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Monty Beetham, just before we go, obviously, you know, this team,
the current set-up, everything around it is bringing a lot
of people a lot of joy in New Zealand. But
I do think players like you, it must be bringing
you so much more joy than what, you know, say,
Minaya and I experienced because you've got a history with
the club and to see it all come together, man,
that must feel good for you.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
I signed as a 15-year-old for the club on a scholarship,
so that's only, what, 20 years ago now. And GST.
I'll tell you what, when you dream of what's possible
and then you go through the almost times and you're
part of the team that sort of broke the narrative.
to be in a situation and to go, you know what?

(45:13):
There's never been a better opportunity that has never been
more winnable. You've never had a team that is more
capable and what it does for the rest of the country.
My weekend's a better weekend after the Warriors. That was
my Monday.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (45:30):
Every Saturday, every year, but you know what? This could
be that actual year, boys.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Thank you so much for your time this morning. Always
great to chat. Thanks, Jeremy.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
It's time to play It's Academic.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
We go to the lines where we find Shane in
Dunn's Morning. Shane, how are you getting on? Very well,
thank you, very well, thank you. What school will you
be representing this morning? Ah, the mighty Timaru Boys.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
Tim is hard.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Tim is hard. I've copped a few hidings from Timaru
Boys sneaking into parties in my youth.

Speaker 6 (46:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Hey, is Timaru Boys, has that got the Nazi tree
in it? Has that got Jack Lovelock's tree?

Speaker 5 (46:14):
It does indeed. It's Jack Lovelock's Nazi oak.

Speaker 6 (46:17):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Hitler gave Jack Lovelock that tree as a sapling, didn't he?
A little seedling. And he brought it home and he
planted it in Timaru.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
Yeah, that's where the cab class got put.

Speaker 5 (46:30):
That's where we were.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
It's funny to think that that is one of the
Only living parts of the Third Reich that exists in
New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
It's also funny that's the only thing you know about Timaru.
It's Hitler-related.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Okay, this is the way it's going to work, Shane.
You're going to choose out of, because we've taken the
trivia from the back of a Libra sanitary pad. This
is something that Manai discovered last week. There's a whole
lot of trivia inside of sanitary pads. Invisible, extra, maternity,
or ultra-thin, what do you want to take?

Speaker 6 (47:05):
I'm going to go with whatever the fellow Tom yesterday
went with.

Speaker 5 (47:08):
What was that one? The Invisible?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I think he went with Invisible, yeah. You want to
go Invisible as well? You want to go Alison Moyet?

Speaker 4 (47:14):
I'll double up.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
We'll go with the Alison Moyet ones. Right, let's get
into it. $ 100 Bunnings voucher up for Graz for Shane.

Speaker 6 (47:21):
All righty.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
What desert is widely recognised as the largest hot desert
in the world?

Speaker 5 (47:28):
Ooh, I would say the Gobi Desert.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
No, it's the Sahara. In George Orwell's novel, 1984, what's
the name of the supreme leader and embodiment of the party?
Also a TV show. I'll have to... You'll run out
of time. It's Big Brother. Which band released the iconic

(47:51):
1977 album Rumours?

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Fleetwood Mac.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Which planet in our solar system holds the record for
having the most confirmed moons?

Speaker 5 (48:03):
Jupiter?

Speaker 7 (48:04):
No.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
Saturn? Which means that you can't get the.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Last one, Shane.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
Which I can't get there.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Bad luck. I wanted you to win, Shane.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Yes, I did.

Speaker 4 (48:13):
I did.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
It would have been a tough one, Shane. The fall
of the Berlin Wall took place in what year?

Speaker 4 (48:18):
84? No.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
Tough question.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
89, yeah. Jeez, it turns out that the Alison Moyet Invisible... Yeah, nah, nah.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
Should have picked the fat one.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
Yeah, I would have.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Gone with the maternity. The pants weren't falling my way, boys. Yeah,
I would have gone maternity or extra, probably, is what
I would have gone with, Shane.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
That's how she goes sometimes, Shane.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
Oh, well.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Oh, no.

Speaker 8 (48:41):
Hey, thanks, lads.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Pleasure, Shane. Thanks for calling. Thanks for listening to the show.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
Hey, thanks very much.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
So I see Doug Harvey and Maurice Weepani are hosting
Lotto tonight. 25... $ 25 million is the jackpot. Okay.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Breaks of a syndicate to me, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Why is it when it gets up to $ 25 all
of a sudden, people go, yeah, I've got to get
a ticket. But when it's like $ 7, people go, nah.
What is it?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Well, the same thing happens with its academic when it's
$ 50 versus when it's $ 250. I don't know, there's something
about the psyche of the New Zealand public. Anyway, the
long and short of all of that is, it is,
that is what happens, and it's $ 25 million. So we
need to put a syndicate together. I'm thinking, I don't
really know how Powerball works, as evidenced by the last
time we tried this and it didn't really work.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Well, last time we AI'd the most popular numbers and
we put together what we thought was absolutely a hat
to win.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Like, there was no way it couldn't. And then we didn't.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
So how many numbers do you need?

Speaker 8 (49:43):
So you need, to win the $ 25 million.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
That's what we're trying to do.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Yep.

Speaker 8 (49:47):
You need six numbers that come out.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (49:50):
In any order. You just need those six numbers. Don't
worry about the bonus ball. And then you need the Powerball,
which is between one and ten.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (49:57):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
So six numbers and the Powerball, which is a separate
number between one to ten.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
And we have won. Yeah, $ 25 million.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
That seems easy.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Okay, easy.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
I mean, how many balls do we get to choose from?

Speaker 7 (50:09):
40.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
40?

Speaker 1 (50:10):
I think that's easy.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Okay, easy. Okay, that's easy. So that part locked in.
We're going to win it. The next part is how
many people do we want in our syndicate? There's $ 25 million.
When we did the top five last week, the number
one number was a million. I actually think it was 69,
but a million. I think we all want to be millionaires, right?

Speaker 4 (50:34):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
So 25 people in the syndicate all winning a million
dollars each. Now there's four of us, so we put
21 people in the draw.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah, that's not a bad idea, but the other thing
is how do we know that we, if another person
also wins or gets the same numbers like us, then
do we have to share it? Can we take them
out or what happens? Do we disappear them? I mean, what,
you know, how are we going to, what happens in
that situation? So are we going to have to get 500,000,
say it's shared?

Speaker 5 (50:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Yeah, we just split whatever we want.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Wait, you can, I thought one person had to win Powerball.
Can you split it?

Speaker 8 (51:05):
No, you can split it. So someone else who could pick,
but it probably won't happen.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Do you know anything about Lotto Manoa?

Speaker 2 (51:11):
Not at all, no. I do my gambling at the track.
I don't do it sitting on the couch watching Sonya Gray.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
Okay, I mean, Ruta's a big Lotto guy. He's got
his own account. He loves numbers. What's the most that
you've won, Ruta? $ 47. That's terrible.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
$ 47.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
You shouldn't be a part of this, Indigo.

Speaker 8 (51:29):
I'm the one that has to put the thing on.
I've topped up my Lotto account to do it, specifically.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
How much is your lotto account sitting at?

Speaker 2 (51:37):
$ 12.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
20.

Speaker 8 (51:38):
It was sitting at $ 2.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
20.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
That's a thousand percent increase.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Okay. How much is a ticket nowadays?

Speaker 8 (51:46):
You can get a line for six bucks. It's a
little less.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
It's reasonable. It's $ 3. 50 for the whole ticket.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Very cheap line.

Speaker 5 (51:55):
Okay, so.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Always the way with us, isn't it?

Speaker 7 (52:00):
Always.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Yeah, it is. Okay, so here's how this is going
to work, is it? We're going to get, there's the
four of us.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Plus 21 listeners. And again, Gerry, look, we'll deal with
the splitting of the funds if we don't win the
whole thing down the track. But what I would say
to you is the advice from Ryan Fox to Geordie
Barrett was be fearless and go for the win. And
the win in this instance is $ 25 million.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
And we're getting 25 people.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
21, because there's us.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
21 listeners plus us four. So give us a call now,
0800 Hauraki. 0800 428725 if you want to be a millionaire.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Yeah, if you want to win your share of $ 25 million.
A million dollars, basically.

Speaker 2 (52:41):
Sorry, Zoe. She's going to have to take all 21
of these callers. We'll be back and pick the numbers
and put 21 people in the draw. Jerry and Manon.

Speaker 3 (52:56):

Speaker 6 (52:58):
All right.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Who wants to be a millionaire? Lotto's running at $ 25 million.
We are putting together a Cindy. 0800 HODAKI, 0800 428
725 if you want to be a millionaire.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
So $ 25 million, four of us in the studio, 21 listeners,
million dollars each. When we inevitably win tonight.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
We definitely will. Okay. Okay.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
So let's get into it. Let's go to line number one.
Adam from Dunedin. Good morning. Adam, you want to be
a millionaire. Do you want to throw a number at us?

Speaker 5 (53:28):
Yeah, number three.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Adam, number three.

Speaker 1 (53:30):

We're a live radio show. You can get hold of
us anytime on 0800 Hauraki, or you can text us
on 3483 and offer your feedback.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Yes, a lot of feedback on the syndicate we've just
put together. Willie said, send this in for the radio awards.
Generosity of sharing a line. This text said, this isn't
even neutral. This is sitting at the blazing spot with
a flat battery from running the radio. And Steve says,

Nah, surely there'll be some coming up in the springtime,
I suppose. It's all decks and concrete down here at
the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
I was going to say, you're preparing for the Super

Everyone wants to get outside.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):

Yeah, I feel like the Super El Nino is going

and maybe a few less easterlies. Yeah, well, let's hope so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
Knock on wood.

Speaker 1 (01:00:54):
Are you building many retaining walls, Patrick?

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
The majority of Christchurch is pretty flat.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):

Well, very hilly.

Yes, and they were saying that basically you just Building
retaining walls up the wazoo. There's so many bloody retaining walls.

Speaker 6 (01:03:38):
Thank you, boys.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Thanks, Josh. Bad luck, Patrick. So everyone's been talking about it,
those two airlink passenger jets that performed that extremely low
flyover of the Cape Town Stadium before the Springboks All
Blacks test on Sunday morning. So they've released.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
They've recovered the black boxes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
They've recovered the black boxes. They didn't really have to
recover them because they're already in the bloody planes. So
12 to 14, so 13 metres above the roof of
the stadium with 56,000 people inside.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Yes, that's right. They said that the flight data recorded
by both aircraft has confirmed that their flights were performed
within civil aviation safety limits for speed and altitude and
that they were performed as.
They were planned so it wasn't a rogue operator and
it wasn't uh it wasn't an.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
Accident okay yeah yeah that's all good but i mean
the the idea that it's that they're going the an
okay speed i mean they were going 278 k's an
hour fine so if that plane plows into uh whether
it's going 278 or whether it's going 360 or whether
it's going 400 yeah it won't make any.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Difference No, it's safe. They said it. They come out
and said it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
It would do exactly the same amount of damage, I
would imagine. 13 meters above the ground. 13 meters.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
No, that's safe.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Is it? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:03):
They checked the black boxes, so yeah, all good. It's
exactly how we planned it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
It was carefully rehearsed, apparently.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Carefully rehearsed and safe as hell. Well, so they did
that a couple of times with it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
When you say rehearsed, I wonder if they did exactly
what they do when they do aerobatics, because I've seen
the aerobatics groups rehearse their, and do you know how
they do it? They stand on the ground. and they
pretend to be a plane with their arms out, and
they walk around in formation, and they move in formation
on the ground. I've seen it done. It's quite interesting.
I wonder if they did that with, I wonder if
the E-Link pilots were doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Yeah, motocross dudes, they do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
How's our post going? Because we talked about it on
the show, and then it somehow found the algorithm of
a million South Africans.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
Yeah, it has really inflamed the, and I've noticed that
a lot of different media outlets this week have inflamed
South African rugby fans. They are the Indian cricket fans
of the rugby world. It is at about 75,000 views, 75,600,
75,000 of those are all in South Africa. 366 comments
and it is all just South Africans kicking off about

(01:06:05):
our fear and panic that's spread around the world. Get
over it, we are. It was a Guinness World Record
breaking attempt. They were supposed to turn around and land
inside the stadium. DM me if you want the video
of a Boeing spinning inside the stadium the pilot jumping
out then jumping back in only for the Boeing to
fly straight through the rugby posts Nelson Mandela has said

(01:06:28):
it always seems impossible until it's done and then someone
else because we were saying the flight officer X who
joined us on the show said that there are old
pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no
old bold pilots Calvin Borter has said the old bold
pilots were flying the Passover oh yeah Okay. So, yeah,

(01:06:49):
it continues to. I mean, I don't know. Like I
said yesterday, if we ever needed to up our social numbers,
just start slagging Australian rugby teams off.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Hey, they've got another one planned for Soweto on Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (01:07:01):
I don't know, but someone did say yesterday we will
go lower next time.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
Huge news in Takaka.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
Takaka's only supermarket had.

Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
To shut down.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
It didn't have to shut down, but it did shut
down because a local legend, Crowther Rainish, passed away at
age 84, hugely respected Golden Bay businessman and community figure.
He'd been a major part of the local grocery scene
for decades and was involved heavily in the wider community.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
So they shut the supermarket down to have his funeral
at the supermarket. So anyone that wanted their groceries or
that was their weekly shop for the week, they were
out of luck. Because they're having a funeral in the supermarket.
What do you reckon? The small goods?

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Good question. I think I'd have mine in the fruit
and veg. Would you? Yeah, because there's something about the
fruit and veg. It's just got a nice smell to it.
It possibly offset the... What's the smell of? What's that
stuff that they put in?

Speaker 8 (01:08:04):
Formaldehyde.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Formaldehyde of a body when you're trying to preserve it. Also,
just a little bit of color and a little bit
of vibrancy takes away... You know, from the death look
on your face. Because I go open casket.

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
I mean, personally, I'd love to be lying in amongst
the apples and oranges.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Well, this is what I wanted to ask this morning.
Have you guys thought about your funeral and do you
have a plan? Oh, absolutely. Oh, yes, we had this discussion,
haven't we?

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
You know my plan.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Your plan is you would like not only open casket
but open air. You'd like to be put on a
lilo and floated around your pool.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Yeah, that's right. So we're not having my funeral at
a church or anything like that. It's not going to
be at a hall. It's not going to be anywhere
like that. It's going to be at home.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Catered it's going to be a party and it's going
to be even if it's winter I don't care I
want to be in a pair of budgie smugglers on
a lilo strapped to the lilo and floating around the pole.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Double sided tape maybe just to keep you on there
what happens if you flip over.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
Uh well how am i going to flip over.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Well i mean lilo is a pretty unwieldy thing you've
got to activate the core to keep those things upright
like if you capsize in there who's going to have
to hop in and flip your lifeless corpse back up
the right way i.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Shouldn't be i mean there's no swell in the pool
i don't know why i'd be there's no chop I'm
just lying in there. I'm lying on the pool. Unless
someone starts doing manus in the pool.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
I just want to be prepared because I know what's
going to happen is you're going to die before me.
Let's be so clear about that. And then while we're
coming to pay our respects, you're going to flip over
and everyone's going to look at me and be like,
can you hop in there and flip Jerry's lifeless body
back up?

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Dead people can't move. The only way is that someone
would be manuing in the pool. And look, feel free
to get into the pool.

Speaker 5 (01:09:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
I don't want sunscreen on. I want to burn.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Why would we put sunscreen on a corpse?

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
Well, some people might be like, we don't want them burning.
We don't want them going red. I say burn. Burn, baby, burn.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
Do you burn if you're dead?

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
You do. Absolutely, you do.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Rhoda, have you thought about yours? Your funeral?

Speaker 8 (01:09:58):
I don't know. Is it next week? Depends how the
peptides go. Part of me feels like, because I'm a
guy that loves my dogs, and part of me feels
like I should just be like a dog and just go,
I think I'm just about done. No, no, no, just
wander off.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Just wander off.

Speaker 8 (01:10:14):
To die and hopefully no one ever finds me. I
wonder what happened to Dad.

Speaker 1 (01:10:18):
It's the old Inuit maneuver.

Speaker 4 (01:10:21):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Just wander off. Yeah, because at some point, I mean,
and you're about five years away from this, Rudy, where
you're a burden on your family. So at the point
when you're a burden and you're using up resources.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
I was talking to Rudy's wife and she said, I
don't know if we'll get through this winter with another
mouth to feed. Are we better off without having the
main provider for the family if it means it's one
less mouth to feed?

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
It's the honourable thing to do.

Speaker 2 (01:10:41):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
In many cultures.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
And sooner rather than later. I've thought about this ad nauseum.
There's a few different ways to do it. I would
like Mongolian Sky Funeral, which is where they leave my
corpse exposed on the Mongolian steppe and then a bunch
of vultures and eagles come and carry me back off
to the winds from whence I came.

Speaker 1 (01:11:02):
I find that, obviously, it's probably quite intense to watch
if it's a member of your family. But you've got
to say, beautiful. Like the idea of it, because you
are being taken by these other animals and then you're,
and then you're, you're returning back into the universe as
parts of other beings.

Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:19):
And so I guess the only thing is, it's not
a very New Zealand way to do it, but the
issue is the only other way I could think to
do it would be a Waimete Sky Funeral, which is
a bunch of wallabies. You leave your body out and
the wallabies return you to the hills. I just, it's
going to take a while.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
I don't know. I mean, Australasian harrier hawk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:36):
Oh, yeah, Hawke could probably do it.

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
You did talk earlier about the Keers jumping on the
back of sheeps and having a go. Could the Keers
do you?

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Maybe the Keer up in the Highlands?

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:45):
Could the Keers do you?

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
I don't know. Get in touch, Keers.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
For more from.
