The Hodack You break for show. Bunning's trade is raising

(00:02):
funds this November to support Men's Help.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome on to the Hidache Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
It's the twenty sixth of November twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Names. Jimmy Wells is a nice steward.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good morning Jimmy Wells. Good morning Meshi again.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yoh, good morning.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Heavy Wednesday with us for the rest of the week
while Rude is away on his disney cruise. I think
it got away last night, the cruise, because he stopped
texting me, So is that what it is. I think
he's at sea, somewhere out there in the in the
massive swells.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Will let's have a look at the swells, because they
were they were looking like they were going to be something.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Actually, yeah, you found spot where they were five meter
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
So he's going out of Auckland and then he's hitting south,
which is just what you want to do this time
of the year on a boat. And then he's he's
going south at the moment one point nine meters, so
that's big enough.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
But he's in a big boat. He's on a disney cruise.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
But then but then it starts to grow Thursday two
point two meters. Give this as he goes around East
Kate two point four meters growing, then it starts to
grow two point five years at the straight and then
when he had straight straight, we've got what have we
got in the straight there?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Three point three?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Now we're talking. I mean if you're at three point nine,
if you really in there.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, he's about to find out who in his family seasick.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Three point four. That'll be fun.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I'm hoping he's having a great holiday. Something in the
air today fellas were playing the Big Show at gold
Flatter on today.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, look forward to talking.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
About that next Jerry and Mini the Hurdarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Big day for the Hierarchy Breakfast today is we take
on the big show for the Hurdarche Swingers Club at
wind Ross Farm.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yes, right, fourball Ambrose is the agreed upon format, but
we haven't heard from the Big shows to what the
punishment slash prize should be. Is all of course for
November the Hurdarchy Swingers Club. But I believe we've got
a bit of audio from them, is there? Imagine we translive.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Pokes on The producers sent us the thirty second clip here.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
This is an opportunity for redemption. This is an opportunity
to end the year as a goddamn winner when we've
been losers from.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Start to finish.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
You are never going to get on top if you
don't start the race, mate, if you don't start the climb,
and you're going to let those two scumbags challenge us
to something and we're too big a cowards to even
accept the challenge. Well, that's the biggest loss of all,
my friend, the refusal to even take part in a competition, and.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I will not have it.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Wow, steering words from So is he going to play
for that? No, he's not, He's not playing mine.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
I mean, I hae to point out the obvious, but
that doesn't clear up anything being confirmed or what's in
the line here.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I have heard whispers, so I'm going to take it
as confirmed that they are on board with the same
punishment as the one hundred meters sprint, where we're the
loser has to do the winner's show. So if we win,
the big show will do our show and then they
will still do their show on the last day of
the year. So if we win, that extends our holiday

(03:12):
by day.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
I love it, which as someone looking to fly into
Tamaru on that day, actually saves me like two hundred
bucks as well.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, is that right? You've booked flights on this I.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Haven't, so I'm holding off. I will book flights tonight
when I know whether I'm flying on Thursday or Friday.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, okay, I mean it will be. Look, I feel
for our listeners. I'd like to be here for our
listeners on the final day. No, I really would. I
really would, because the other thing is I've got to
do a live seven sharp show at seven thirty on
the Friday, on the Friday, So I'm here no matter what.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
No, I reckon. You've got about it. You've got a
month now you can you can really get Daniel fight.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
The heads up, brother, you're fullowing a little bit of
a sicky.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
But the thing is today Philip sniffler around thine already
dance up. Yeah, or it just might be one of
those appointments, damn it. The only time I could get
was four forty five on a Friday. The other part
about it is today we are playing football Ambrose. As
you said, yes, I no appreciate format, which is good.
You can go out and swing with Gay Abandon. However,

(04:17):
we don't know who's on our team. We don't know
the caliber of because it's you, MIM and I and
two listeners. Yes, we don't know how good a player
our two listeners are.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
See I think you and.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Me versus the versus Hoitty and and the Maybastik Keezy. Yeah,
would I mean clearly with smashed them. But we don't
know what they're bringing into the team now through their
other players.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm hearing some rumors. I'm hearing whispers that the winner's
mate that's coming is none other than Joe Shaker. Joe Shak. Well, course,
at least the name that they've given us is very similar.
Now it may not be, but what I'm hearing is
the name that's been getting. There's not a lot of

(04:58):
Joe Shakers around.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
If the dark Horse comes galloping into wind Ross Farm.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Now, the dark Horse plays off a very low handed here.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, that's concerning.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I've played one round of golf with the dark Horse,
and at the end of that I got the look
in his eyes like, hey, this is really fun, guys.
I'm probably never playing with you guys again.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, the other thing is you're playing with Woody j
and he'll have his shoes off. Come whole six, there'll
be foot of shoes and I mean can even get
her at we got carts. We want to make sure
we don't have carts because that will will put them
on a huge amount of pressure.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I believe carts have been offered.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Oh no, no, no, we want him walking because yeah,
he doesn't have the fitness to be able to sustain
nine holes of golf.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
No, no one is sure. I can say, oh, he's
been training lately, he's been walking away Tucker he Oh yeah, okay,
which is pretty It's pretty hard to be training.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's a goat track.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah. What My My only concern is maybe we need
one of their maybe we need Monogue to come around
with us. Is if we win, like anyone who's ever
played in any Ambrose tournament, whoever wins, I was likely cheated.
So we need some sort of you know, verification that
we didn't cheat.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean, look, get Pugs at the
camera to follow us. In the end, it's gonna come
down to Patsman and I. Yeah, that's the way it works.
And the great thing is that we've got you on
our side and you've got a devastating short game. Yeah,
I back myself in he's got to he's great with
the putter, and.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
The secret is I don't think about it at all.
And this is actually something that Ryan Fox has said
before because I asked him, remember that that basically the
shot that he won the Canadian Open with was the
three wood from the fairway to about six feet and
I was like, what are you thinking when you're heading
that shot? And he goes, if you're playing, well, you're
not thinking anything. He was like, there was one alignment
thing like face your feet this way, and outside of that,

(06:44):
it's just swing. Yeah, and that's where I met with
my goal and with my putting. As you know, there's
nothing worth standing over the tee and you've got fifteen
Instagram reels going through your head.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh absolutely, So we're going to make sure.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think, like a text coming from James, the Big
Show has a couple of scratch players on their team.
That's that's just more pressure on the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I did wonder whether it was okay.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
No, there were gap that's why. But still they've got
to take They've got to take three drives.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
So you got to take a drive from Kezi and
you've got to take a drive from Houghty Jay and
whatdy Jay's drives.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
The strategy in there, I mean they go about one
hundred and twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Jerry and midnight the hold Ikey Breakfast have.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yesterday, Today, tomorrow to Nobill.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Today is the twenty sixth of November twenty twenty five,
and on this day in seventeen eighty nine, it'll be
observed tomorrow over in the US because of the time difference.
It was the first national Thanksgiving in the United States.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
It's like seventeen eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Seventeen eighty nine, President George Washington proclaimed November twenty sixth
as a National Day of Thanksgiving, of giving thanks the
first federal observance in US history. Three day Harvest festival,
and sixteen twenty one was the first one ever, tended
by fifty pilgrims and ninety one Penoag Indians one penog Indians, Yeah,

(08:04):
gotcha the.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
People yeah, one Pinoak nation. Yeah, a proud and famous nation.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yes, that was the first one in sixteen twenty one.
But then the first time was actually observed was seventeen
eighty nine. You forget how old America is because I
don't know. In my mind, I kept thinking it's really young,
because you know, it was settled by all sorts of
different people. But actually it's like five six hundred years old.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
It is quite odd.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I mean, the big, big gap between sixteen twenty one
and seventeen eighty nine, so it was a big you know,
once they've actually come up with the constitution all that
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
It was a long time. Those lily Pilgrims were real assholes.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
But what were they doing?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Ah, they were just annoying, pillaging, they were.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
They were just so righteous and annoying, and that they'd
come over.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
From England because they were they were persecuted. They were annoying, religious, zealous.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Thankfully most of them does. The meal that they ate
did not include turkey as the main deshs did. It
likely featured venison, duck, goose, lobster. God, they love a
lobster over there first, alongside vegetables like pumpkins. The Wampanoak
people contributed venison to the feast, which was eaten with
the colonists.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Well I got on the wamp and Oak people. That's
a venison would have been delicious.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, no pumpkin pie or sugar available for cranberries at
the times. All that stuff has come later on. Yeah, right,
you do wonder if it's one of those ones where
like they just decided they were going to do it
and then the whole thing popped up around it, you
know what I mean. It's not like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
I like it as I like that idea of giving
thanks and coming together, and it's it's bigger than Christmas
over there, Like it's I mean, it's different than Christmas.
But it's a family guy, isn't it. Your family come
from everywhere in the country.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's way too close to Christmas for my liking. We
were just talking yesterday about how all of our partner's
birthdays are basically in the lead up to Christmas. Bankrupt.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, well, our Christmas is weird because in the Southern
Hemisphere it's based around the giant holiday. Our Christmas holiday
is our summer holiday, whereas over there the summer holidays August,
so they go little. They go lots of feasts at
this time of year because it's winter, so it's all
indoor feasty stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
The other thing that annoys me about our Christmas. Is
half of the world, at least geographically, not by population,
is in the south Southern hemisphere. It has their Christmas
in the summer, and yet we don't have any summer
related Christmas traditions. It's all we paint fake snow. You know,
sand is still wearing a suit. We make dudes with
full suits and beards. Yeah, you know, it's a why

(10:29):
don't we have our own traditions?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well we've never quite got there, have we in.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Anything here really in the sourest, because we don't care
about anything. Nineteen seventy seven, on this day and history,
France hold holds its last public guillotine execution nineteen seventy seven.
Nineteen seventy seven, So Star Wars came out a month
before the last public execution by guillotine in France. There's
a chance of the last guy to be executed by
guillotine has seen Star Wars.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
So started at seventy ninety three or something that guillotine
was around. And what I've gone deep on the gillotine
recent times, and what I realized is it seems like
it's a torture device, you know, because it's so horrific
chopping in off of this horrific blade stuck in a
whole lot of wood and a big frame. But an
actual fact it was, it was, it was humane.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
It was to speed the process up.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, it was to make it.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
It was to make sure it happened, because sometimes you
get the executioner with an axe and it wouldn't happen.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
First time. You take a couple of goals.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
You know, he's done thirty of them today, and now
you pull up and he's just messed a little bit,
so he's having a hacket.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
The Gilatine came down at pace from a long way up, yep,
and therefore making sure that it happened every time.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
That's right, they reckoned. Between fifteen and seventeen thousand people
were guillotined during the Reign of Terror, which you're talking about, Jerry,
seventeen ninety three to seventeen ninety four, and a further
two thousand, six hundred and twenty five heads fell into
the basket by the end of the French Revolution.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Oh yeah, that's right, man, they went nuts over there
was here with the eighth fairly Gillatine focused as well.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
No, he was fifteen hundreds.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, he was a bit earlier, gilat he was still
ex and duds.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Oh yeah he was. He was exing his wife. I thought,
I thought right, it was a girl.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
She got the ex once. You can't ax fifteen to
seventeen thousand people. That's you're gonna mechanize at that point.
And that's where the gelatine came from. Born on this
day Charles M. Schultz, the creator of Peanuts, Charlie Brown
and Snoopy and the Lot. He would have been one
hundred and three today, sharing a birthday with Tina Turner,

(12:30):
the queen of rock and roll with hits like Crowd
Maria and What's Love Got.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
To Do with It?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
She would be eighty six today. She shares a birthday
with another musical legend, DJ Khaled, producer and maker known
for All I Do Is When, and I'm the one.
He's fifty today, older or younger than you thought? Magic?
Oh way older, way older.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
He must have been like forty.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
He's a good follow on Instagram. He went to a
seafood restaurant the other day and they said, what do
you want? And he ordered one of everything on the
menu and he goes, bring up the ocean. Yeah, and
that's the history of yesterday. Today it's tomorrow. It Timmlary
for Wednesday, the twenty sixth of November twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Jerry and the Night the Hoary Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Time for the latest sport headlines thanks to Export Ultra
the BF. Here a host of Black Caps Test squad
members will don white for their domestic teams in the
second round of Plunkett Shield Cricket. From ten thirty am
came Williamson returns for Northern Districts against Auckland at the
Mount Good Tom Lay from Features for Canterbury as they
take on Otago and Dunedin and Central Districts. Welcome Will

(13:36):
Young and technok Techner to play hosts Wellington. We'll have
Michael Bracewell.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
This is good. I wonder when that first test is
then I show should probably google that coming up this week.
I'm gonna be honest, I'm I'm pretty excited for this test.
I'm really into my cricket. At the moment, I didn't
think this. I think the it feels like the summer
cricket's been going on for a long time. You know
that there was that washout and it felt like August,
but that really got me primed. And now this West

(14:03):
Indian tour, I've been really into it.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, and then I think New Zealand go away, and
then there's thirty twenty World Cup.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, a Christmas time and I think this is going
to be the reality of our summers of cricket going forward.
It's going to be the donut summer every year. We
had it last year where you have a bunch of
games early in the year, then around Christmas break there's
almost nothing, and then after that the black Caps come
back in like February March. It's annoying because you're off
work and you've got the time all of a sudden

(14:30):
and the weather is good, so you want to go
to those games, but just go to the supersmash.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Suppose welcome into the room the Ashes.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah exactly, thanks very much.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Former All Blacks captain Todd Blackadder understands the Springboks have
found a winning formula to dominate rugby for years by
balancing younger talent and aging experience.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Stands does it He understands that is that a headline?

Speaker 2 (14:50):
That's a headline that an next player understands that it's
more of a statement.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Isn't it than a headline, well what's happening here? And
we've discussed we'd love these headlines because basically what happens
is a journalist is looking for a headline and so
they go, I'll ring an old, I rang an old
retired player and more former coach and go you understand
what the Springboks are doing? And they go yes and
they bomb blackhead.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Done. South Africa are poised to win their two Test
cricket series away against India. Wow.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
The hosts twenty seven to two in the second match
at Guhawati, chasing a target of five hundred and forty
nine on the final day.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
That declared South Africa. So they are obliterating them?

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Is that test being players?

Speaker 7 (15:31):
So cool?

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Ani milestone from Manchester City football manager Pep Guader and
their home Champions League football match against by a Look
of Us from nine am. The Spaniel will take charge
of his one hundredth game for the club in the
European competition, having claimed the title in twenty twenty three.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Jerry and min nine, Hold I keep breakfast man.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
You're back on this side of the building for a
limited time only as you pushing the buttons while route
is on a Disney cruise for the next six years.

Speaker 6 (16:12):
Now that I'm back over at the side of the building,
I'm back in the toilets that I used to use
eight nine months ago when I was originally here already,
I Hadeck and I had a situation used today where
I walked into the toilets. Do you boys think that
the toilets at work are a place to start a conversation?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
No depends, Yeah, this is I've.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
Had twenty four hours now to think about this. I
put this through to the WhatsApp yesterday and ones or
two's I was taking twos? Okay, No, so there's a bias,
I'm sure because the other person wasn't. But the reason
why I asked is I'm just not sure if we're
all on the same page when it comes to making
sure that maybe the bathroom should just be for using
the bathrooms.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yesterday I had a.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Situation where I went in there, I got on broad
in a five minute conversation while trying to ablute. Then
it ended up with a wet handshake.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh, on the toilet.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
And so how did it start? Because did you walk
in together? How did they know that you're in the cubicle?
He just came up behind me, came in behind me
at the same time.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Right, Okay, so you intoed you into the toilet area together, yes, so.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
Of the toilet within about he came in behind me
about three seconds. The door hadn't even shut, okay. He
then just crashed through it.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Awkward toilet that one, because over outside of the building
there's no music. That's right over on the other side
of the acc sets there is both Wi Fi and
music which.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
Just coast blasting it and that's easy to avoid conversations.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yes, yeah, whereas the deafening silence of God of block B.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
So you're right, Jerry, I I veered to the left,
which we'll get into maybe later on. Actually there's another
conversation of her head there. But then the block behind me,
the NVID to the right where the urinals are, and
then he was I don't know if he.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Was at the urinal.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
He was at the urinal.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
See Rhoda does this when you walk in, he will
be at the the smircher man while he's not here
to defend himself. But the other day I walked in
new standing at the urinal and he was just locked
the eyes with me as I walked in to the.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Those urinals are in a precurious position, though.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
He was very exposed, and he was looking at the
door before I walked in. That's but yes, so someone's
at the someone's at the urinal talking to you while
you're in the cube. If you're both in the cubicle
and you know each other well enough, I'm okay with
a bit of a yarn.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
I intentionally tried to shut and lock the door of
my cubicle quite loudly, just to let him know that's
where I was going, which I mean, you know, this
is time for me now to do your time and
know we've just kind of had a bit of a
conversation about professional life.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
And then is it trying.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
I don't know if you've ever tried to Yeah, I
genuinely squeeze one out well so you can't see her,
and they're like, oh, so next, And I just wanted
to make sure that we're all on the same page.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
There's no expectation as here around here it comes out,
Oh no, I don't look.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I think I think it ceases as soon as the
person goes into to do too's.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, that ceases at that point. Leave a man in peace.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
There's a reason they're butt doors across the front of
the toilets because you need some privacy, and that extends
to stop talking to me. We're not about to figure
this out. Also, no one's ever followed through on a
plan made on a dunny.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
You're not on equal footing either. If you're going ones
and twos. If I think he's waiting for you, Yeah,
if you're going two's together, that's your dumb buddies. That's
a different thing. You've signed a pact, you're both going
beside each other. At that point you can communicate about anything. Yeah,
But I think if you're going ones versus twos, you're on.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
You're on a different footing, your different species at that point.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah. Not understand that concept of dumb buddies though, that's good.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, if you're going in together and it's like bugger
at we're going to sweet, then yeah, you can never
are in, particularly if you're you know, Gelane's a big
proponent of the dumb buddy.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Well, he had a dumb buddy, Dave Phana.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, and he only ever spoke to Daphane when he
was blooting beside him every morning and he go get
a dumb buddy, and Davey go get her dumb buddy,
and they talk to each other and they became dumb buddy.
That their whole relationship was based around dumping together in
the mornings.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's the only they actually had no that
recognizing around the world under least they were. In fact,
they're at the pub together. One time I was there
and they didn't recognize each other until they both went
for a dump and they were like, how is that you?

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Dave, Jerry and Mini. The Hodarkey breakfast to continues.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yes, all right, we're talking just before about Mash wanted
to know the rules around the doors and don'ts of
starting up a yarn in the bathroom. He was doing
number two, someone else was doing number one. Someone said
on three four eight three, no one should be doing
number twos at work. Sort your diet out. I wholeheartedly
disagree with that.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I want to flip the script on that as well.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah, I reckon, definitely do your ablutions on the clock.
You should. You should one hundred percent be getting paid
for that.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Well, that also supposes that you have complete control over
when these things happen.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, well, I guess which is what they're saying about
the diet. It's what you died. But it's a germophobe thing,
you know what I mean. I'm dumb them with free abandoned.

Speaker 6 (20:51):
Who if I'm taking my number twos at work, I
don't have to take them at home. I can then,
you know, not wash the toilet as often. Yeah, the
other things.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
You have to listener.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
So I I had a similar such a situation to you.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Really you have to clean the toilet is offen, let's
move on.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Made a miscal It's a similar situation as you. But
I didn't even manage to get to the toilet. So
I had walked into the I walked into the bathroom
and at the door someone that we work with had
walked out. It is actually a journalist, and he held
the door open and we were standing there in the door,
both of us standing in the doorway, and he goes, oh,

(21:31):
I was listening to the podcast he did the other day.
And you said reportedly but it was actually allegedly, And
I was like, oh, yep, oh, sorry, what's what's the difference. Well,
if it's if it's in a report, then it's reportedly.
But if someone's alleging it, then it's allegedly. Meanwhile, people
are trying to squeeze between us to get to the bathroom.
I am almost touching cloth.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
At this point.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
I'm like, yeah, sorry about that, man, it's just that.
So I try to walk off and he's like, it's
just that. If you say reportedly, it makes it seem
like we're reporting on it, but it's actually an a.
And I was like, don't I am about to I'm
about to unload it.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Who didn't follow you in? And then you didn't read
about it in the herald later on any chance? So
do you gotta be careful in those situations? I mean,
it does make a good point. There is a difference
between reportedly and allegedly.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
An allegation and a reported to very different things. But
do we need to have that door discussion in the
doorway of the toilet.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
No, I'd argue, you know, you definitely don't since this
is the toilet hour, and you know, once seven hits
we can't really talk about it now we're gonna flush
it anymore. We're about to when it comes to using
a oh what is the correct phrase?

Speaker 2 (22:38):
In twenty twenty five at Disabled bathroom.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh yes, I know. I've got strong opinions on this.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
So and most I think work cubicals. Theyll have like
a three store cubicle for the non disabled person, yeah
you're traditionally abled person, and then you've got the one
cubicle for the disabled person, more room, you've got a
couple of hooks in the biggest sink whatever.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, I think I personally think it's all about circums dance,
and I think it's all about it's all about location.
So for example, if you are at a hospital, then
you should not use the I believe it's called they're
not called disabled accessible accessible, but because you've got to,
you're gonna have people and wheelchairs in those situations. You've

(23:18):
got got sick people, you've got people.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
With additional needs that you don't have, so you should
be respectful there. But I look at them as all
four of these cubicles, the three and then the one,
they are all for everyone, but one of them is
also four people with additional needs. And so I'm of
the opinion where if the other cubicles are either occupied
or indisposed because some trade is coming from outside and

(23:42):
bomb the crap out of it, or the crap into it.
Then you're well within your rights to go and use it.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Jerry.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I know you'll use it even when there's no one
in any of the other kid.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I like the space, the space that it affords a user.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
But respectfully, Jerry will also leave the door open such
that if someone with additional needs came in and needed
the accessible cubicle.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
I was about to say, I've seen you do Little
Boys where he's way too many times in that and.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
That yeah, disabled, Yeah, that's I mean, it's not like
I'm in there for hours. I wouldn't go in there
and occupy it for.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
For lots of time. Also, I refuse to use those urinals.
Why because that's just basically you just walk straight in
the door and you're just looking at someone's downstairs.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Also the fact that one of them was clogged for
two straight years, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
And I'm not like Ruder. I'm not going to stand
there on the urinal and you videos on my phone.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Ruder. I know he's not here to answer those allegations,
but he's a lot of producer Ruder down set. He
can put it in his hand and he's got one
hand on the phone looking at disgusting behavior.

Speaker 8 (24:52):
Jerry and Midnight The Hold, I keep breakfast, Jerry and
the Night the Hold.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
So what's the date? The twenty sixth of November.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
We're less than a month away from Christmas, yeah, which
means that we're coming into Christmas tree season. Yeah, on
the first of December. I think is the is the
official date? Right to put it up? I mean you
can go if you want to, you can go later.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
You can go early and go heart.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Are you guys Christmas tree? Real Christmas tree or fake
Christmas tree?

Speaker 2 (25:21):
People?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Fake?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
You're a fake?

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I'm a faky Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Are you forg reasons or just for money? Lack of
a Yeah, we're real. But I'm neither here nor there about.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
It really, okay, because yesterday I went to Mesa Christmas
tree farm in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Which is in central Aukland. What's it called Mesa.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Christmas Tree Judge our Binks run it.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
It's it's it's in Mantiden's.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yeah, malt Eden's bell Moral and they have their family
of owned this piece of land for the longest times.
It's a mess piece of land in the middle of Auckland.
The Binks family, I reckon it's maybe a couple of akers.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
I don't know, it's massive. Anyway, they grow way grow
Christmas trees there.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
You go along, you can choose your tree, they chop
it down for you and then and you take it home. Anyway,
we went there sip and chart part of a new
series that we're doing. We were learning how to do things.
Probably I learned how to fold off for the cheat
the other day. I can teach you how to roll
towels if you'd like, Well, Manias and you are an
amazing tower roller.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Have you seen them roll Townes a notable roller of towel.
It's a recent development.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
I am now taught my entire family how to do it,
just so they sit like what they're do in a
hotel or something.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
You wouldn't be upset if you found one of these
in your hotel room. It's more motel, it's more motor
We went on Swan areas, but it's definitely more practical motel.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
If you find it on the interview bear at the motil.
But it's the Stewart technique. It's freestyle hotel. Would you
give me that?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Maybe simply something you back your car up to. But that's.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
So I was at this place and we're working out
Christmas trees and running me through.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
He's his family run it. And it turns.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Out that putting up a Christmas tree, there's a couple
of little trucks. One of them is you should never
do it alone. It's not a one person job.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Putting up a Christmas tree. Is that because of logistics
or because of vibe? And it's Christmas and you should
be sharing these experiences.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yes, both both of those things. It's it's a fun
thing to do when there's more people. It's it's less
stressful by yourself. Erecting a Christmas tree by yourself as
stressful because you can't you don't know whether it's straight
or not.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
So you've got you've got to have a holder, and
you've got to have a spot.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Is someone going to hang a plumb line?

Speaker 3 (27:39):
You got to have someone holding it, and then you've
got to have someone who's who's standing back, who's a lining.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
This feels like flat pack furniture that you know, I'd
rather do that by myself. Me and my missus are
both of the opinion. We'd both rather do it by
ourselves than But how do you know it's straight?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
That's the thing.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
And the other thing is you need to Christmas tree stand,
so you need.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
To invest one of those they like sexty bucks.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
The only time I've ever had a real Christmas tree,
we've had one of those, and you you screw the
screws into the base of it, and then you can
pour a bit of water into the bottom of.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
It as well.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yep, and it holds it up.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Then you need one of those because otherwise you just
stuff in it. Then the SAPs in the carpet, it's
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
And you've got a cat many so your cat could
easily jump on that. And I've seen stones in a
bucket before.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Your mile manuged to run that back in the day,
stones in a bucket, and that's dangerous. We had a
couple of Christmases with bricks and buckets. I remember that.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yees yeah, I remember bricks and buckets too.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
I feel like that was an easy way to do it.
Are the base of feeling new thing?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah pretty new.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Yeah, But once you've got one, I think it's an
investment for life. Like once you've got that, once you've
got that sexty dollars, I mean, people are sixty bucks
a lot to pay for a base.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
It's like a cast iron scillet mate. You look after
it exactly, look after you exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
So you get one of those and then make sure
you just remember where you put it. But then it's
very important to drop it. But you've got to drop
it down onto the spikes because it's got the spikes
in the middle of the stand. And then you were
just and you screw everything in and then you then
you have the spot the spotty goes back and then
the holder, and then you work it from three angles.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
So you've got to make sure you approach it from
three different angles to make sure it's right.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
And the other thing is not every every Christmas tree
has a good side and a bad side. Every Christmas tree.
There is no such thing as a real Christmas tree
that doesn't have a bad side because part of them
is the north side is the good side.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
They graduates the sun. So you so you back that
thing into a corner.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
You've got it back into a corner, so you gotta
find a corner for it. That's the other crucial piece
of information.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
So there we go.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
You gotta be careful because you back a dog into
a corner. Mate, you get bit.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
You just you just don't want to be doing It's
not it's not a lone activity.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
So this had nothing to do with decorating it. That's
what I thought we were going to do, you know,
nothing to do it decorating because that that I have
taken a keen interest in the last couple of years,
really surprising.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Jerry and Minn. The hot I keep breakfast.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's the Yule tide season.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
We're tired. Nobody yull this morning. I was just saying
before that I have I've been accused in the past
being a bit grunchy. I don't really like Christmas. I'm
one of those guys just like I can't be bagging
with the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
You don't like the going out partying, you don't like
the drinking. I don't like the celebrating with friends. I
do that that part ruins Christmas. So what I've done
is to contribute to it. As everywhere I go around
the country, around the world, I'll buy the corniest Christmas
buble or tree decoration I can find, bring that back

(30:27):
and then that's my gift to Christmas.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
That's me contributing to Christmas.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
I see, so only in your Christmas tree is almost
the story of your life because it's things that you've done,
events that you've been to, places that you've been and
you can see it.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
In a borble. Yeah, that's right. Someone gave me the
idea for that when we were over at the in
Amsterdam last year for the Export Beer Garden to it
and they were like, why don't you get this? Because
then one, it's a gift for your partner, because when
you've been overseas without them, you need to keep them sweet,
so you give them a gift and it's something that
comes background Christmas as well.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Do you find do you find that the Christmas tree
becomes a little bit hap hazard? So you've got different
types of borble and different places, and it doesn't it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Have an overall kind of a vibe.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, but we run the.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Esthetically you're hearing you talk about Christmas makes me hate Christmas.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
It should, I don't know. Our opinion is our house
should be a reflection of ourselves, not just whatever you
bought from m Art that year. But mesure, I understand
you're you're facing down a situation with the decoration of
your tree this year.

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Well, I mean you're gonna hate this series. I mean
it's for fairly esthetic focus. When it comes to Christmas
is about eleven months ago, almost of the day when
I picked up the Christmas tree last year. Usually I'm
pretty good. Usually, oh, you know, sort of it all out.
Get the container out, those massive containers that you get
that everyone uses for garat stories, that's got the clips
on the side, put it into the back shelf with
all your Christmas decorations every days. Last year I did

(31:56):
it on what I think I can only remember being
about a top three hangover of my life. And I
took the fast and loose approach. I took the let's
kick the can down the road approach. Yeah, and I
know for a fact at the back of my garage
cupboard right now there's a decoration box is in a
real heiry state.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
The lights, the lights. Did you just get the lights
and did you just put them into this?

Speaker 6 (32:19):
Specifically, remember taking tinsel ball balls and just shoving Jerry
like I was just shoving them in there. I was
pretty much standing on it like it was the rubbish
and I was having to fill it up.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
And didn't use the you didn't use the.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Cardboard technique. You get a piece of cardboard and then
you go around and the lights.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Mate.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
So I've got I've been kicking the can down the road,
and I don't know if I'm going to put up
a Christmas tree this year just because of it.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
In fact, I might have put rigged my last tree.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, because you've gone this is future Meshi's problem. You
are now future messy.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
It is.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
It's basically the situation where you shut the the cupboard
that's got all the tupwear and stuff in it. You know,
when you shut that and then you hear a massive
clunk behind the door and he's like nick person that
opens out that they're gonna have to deal with problem. And
the problem is you are the next person who's going
to have to open that.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
I remember having a conversation with myself going like, hey,
you know, when you have to get these out next year,
it's going to be okay, because remember, you know you
sacrifice to hang over.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
It's all good. But I just yeah, I can't. I
don't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
You've just kicked it down the road.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
You're still road. You're on your twenties, man, you still
have that learning face.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
I've caught up to most cans that I've kicked. This
is the thing is as I kicked a lot of
cans in my early twenties, and I've caught up to
most of them.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
And you should kick the cans in your twenties. You've
got to kick cans, but.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
At a certain point you've got to pick that can up.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
Well that's as long as you're the one that then
has to pick up the can, Yeah, and drink from it.
In that case, you know, actually putting the decorations on
the tree, that you will learn that you will get
that piece of cardboard at the end of this Christmas
Yule type period and you'll go around and around with.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Those lights and starting to think of what cans I'm
kicking down the road that are gonna I'm gonna have
to pick up a binge of it.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Well, you're in your thirties night, so less can's going nowadays.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I've picked a lot of them up. Yeah, I've picked
a lot of them up.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
I sort of feel like I'm manufacturing the cans nowadays.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Jerry and Mini the hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Realize that us talking about this Christmas tree erection and
you talking about your attempts at dismantling that Christmas tree
and all of the all of the stuff on in
the Christmas tree, the Christmas tree decorations, and then just
haphazardly whipping them into a box, particularly the lights I
stuffed them in there, and the tinsil, the tensil is
going to be, and then kicking the can down the

(34:31):
road to next Christmas.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I might kick it again.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
This is just remind us, just reminds me of I
spent I'm now you know I'm forty nine, Mashy your
twenty six, Yes, that's right.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
What you're thirty four?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
So I reckon that as you get older, you just
kick less cans down the road. I reckon at twenty
in my twenties, I was just kicking everything. I kicked
every can down the road.

Speaker 6 (34:53):
Mate, you're just kicking so many cans. Every can that
you get tossed, you then kick down the road the
hardest can.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
I've either kicked his road user charges. When I had
a diesel vehicle, I was just punting that bitch down
the road. I was absolutely not I'll get to it.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
I just remember kicking kicking parking fines down the road.
You know there'd be two hundred bag from forty bucks
to like two hundred. I'll kick that down the road,
down the road, down the road.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I can't look at this. I'm just going to kick
that thing down the road. And don't start with the
health as well. They kick that down the road.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Three for it.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Three.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
I'd love to hear just people, what are you kicking
down the road? What are you kicking? What can are
you kicking? Right now?

Speaker 6 (35:36):
Is that the sign of growing up is that once
you stop kicking cans, when you catch up to all
the cans are you?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Are you kicking many cans these days? I'm not.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm trying not to kick cans. I'll go kick the
occasional can down the road, but I'm trying not to
kick them down the road.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
And also I'm kicking.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
I'm picking up the cans that my kids are kicking
down the road and I'm having to sort that out.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Don't you give it back to them and go don't
kick this down the road again? To find this down the.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Road down the road the next day. This is the problem.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Jerry and Midnight the hold, I keep breakfast.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
We're talking what cans are you kicking down the road currently?
It's funny because it came from Mash, who's steering down
the barrel of having to unpack the Christmas decorations that
he packed on a top three hangover of all time.
Those chickens are coming home to roost. That can now
needs to be packed up. You kicked it a year
down the road and we're now here again.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
You're standing, I might now kick the can off the road,
is what I'm thinking. I might just buy a whole
new s of Christmas decorations and then not deal with
that can.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
But this was my idea. Why don't you so I
presume is this at your family home? Why don't you
go home this Christmas be Santa Claus will be like, hey, guys,
I was thinking all new Christmas decorations. What do you reckon?
And then you walk in the fuck isn't he maturing
old Mass? Meanwhile, it's just because you're a degenerate you
pack them on a hangout.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
It's a problem in the world when Christmas is cheap
at the bis Christmas decorations that is just to put
them around a piece of blood.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
I reckon, that's a win win for you, that move.
But we've been taking ticks on three four eight three.
What can are you kicking down the road? Some one said,
I'm currently kicking down the road my passenger occupancy sense
of fault in my car. It's been like this for
about six months now, and I've done nothing about it,
So I presume it's just like on all the time.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Oh no, no, yeah, I looking back on it. In
my twenties, I kicked a couple of services down the
road my car because you want to go once a year,
get the oil, felter's change, et cetera. And and you
kicked it down the road. Next thing you know, you've
got break hashoes. Next thing you know, you've got a
three thousand dollars barly you got to sell a car.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, I had one of those. I kicked it down
the road for about six months, and there's noise in
my car was just getting louder and louder, and I thought, oh,
this thing's buggered. Turns out it was the power steering
fluid head run out. So it was just whining when
I turned corners and it was like a twenty dollar fix.
I shouldn't have been kicking it down. Someone else sticks
through a student loan. That thing went from twenty K

(37:50):
loan to a fifty K loan payment well into my forties. Okay,
someone else has said, breakfast show's got me anxious doing
a can stock table. I think we all are a
lot of health related ones. I kicked my health down
the road. It kicked back, it's caught a goal.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
That's me too. Look, I think everyone kicks their health
down the road in their twenties. That's totally normal.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, well, similar one. Kicking my teeth down the road
and my twenties, I use them to open beer bottles
now root can now.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Actually, yeah, I've suggested to my kids, you don't want
to kick your teeth down the can down the road.
That will come back and bite you in the ass massively,
because yeah, you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars
of Dentel back and you can't. You need your teeth,
I know.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
But you're also looking at two thousand dollars dendal bill
every time you go in there, and people just don't
have that money. It's like this is I've been kicking
that can down the road. The other one, the big
one that I've been kicking down the road is I
don't have a dipstick in my Suzuki Swift, so I
have no idea how much oils in that thing, and
I have not had one the entire four years that
have owned it.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
I think from this conversation we've gone to two things.
One is don't kick car maintenance issues down the road,
and don't kick mouth isshoes down the health issues. Those
are too important.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
This recepted text from my old man he's listening along
at home. I understand that he kicked a glass subscription
down the road for about twenty years, failed to get
it updated, and then when he got it updated.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
He realized what it was like to see.

Speaker 6 (39:09):
I feel like the glasses getting the old prescription update
as a yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Peter's text are on three four eight three as well.
Junk in storage units. I have two, and I can
go months without even thinking about them. Could probably do
without any of the crap that's in there, but I'm
too useless to sell it or throw it away. Can
The entire storage unit business model is built on people kicking.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
The can down.

Speaker 3 (39:31):
What happens if you don't? What's the opposite of kicking
the can down the road? What do you do with
the can if you're not kicking it down the road.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Will you just deal with it at the time? Do
you drink the can?

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Do you dispose of the what do you do? It's
a disposal situation that you put it in the bin.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I don't know. I'll tell you what. This text
is not ripped off car mirror. Couldn't be fixing it
now I've just ended my work yet.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
That's karma.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Jerry in the night the hold I breakfast.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
I've just read the answer the question too.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
This is the hide you brief.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
There's time for the hidich you breakfast Mastermind.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Yesterday's Mastermind topic was Undy's und these togs and yesterday
phrase of the fire alarm technician from Mount Munganui couldn't
take away the price, So that means we've got one
hundred and fifty dollars up for grabs. Jack Pot's fifty
hucky every day we don't ever win it. And since
Jerry learned how to put up a Christmas tree like
a pro, today's Mastermind topic is tree on.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
The line is Jared from m Vercargo Morning.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Jared, Yeah, good mate, there he's gone good.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
What do you like on your trees? Do you know
much about trees.

Speaker 7 (40:38):
Bugger all but team to get a crack.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Okay, what do you like? It's spelling, Jared? Sorry, what
do you like it's spelling?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Oh yeah, pretty good. Okay, that's good he can spell.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Okay, that's important to know. That's gonna come into question
and question number two. Anyway, let's get into it, Jared
from vera Cargo, Let's do it. What New Zealand tree
is nicknamed the saber tree because of its long pointed leaves?

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Our past spell perhotkawa p o h u t.

Speaker 7 (41:18):
A A No?

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Which tree starting with k produces yellow flowers that are
a favorite of tuwi?

Speaker 9 (41:26):
Is it a Cody tree?

Speaker 2 (41:28):
No? Which native New Zealand tree is the tallest, sometimes
growing over fifty meters? Go with that answer again, h Cody? Correct?
Which New Zealand tree has fragrant, dark green leaves and
timber that was traditionally used for building canoes and carvings?
Is that moy? No? What New Zealand tr is nicknamed
the saber tree?

Speaker 1 (41:50):
That's a brutal round, A brutal round.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Sorry, mate, that takes quite a long time to spell.

Speaker 6 (41:57):
Disgraceful from us here sort of got that.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
That's right, bad bad luck. It was just a luck
of the drawing terms of the subject bad luck the Jared.

Speaker 6 (42:09):
It was that sick and you wasn't it? Car with
it stunt?

Speaker 2 (42:14):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Which small tree starting with cave produces yellow flowers that
are a favorite of the two that is the Corfi
from the tallest tree is the Cody, which he did get.
And the New Zealand tree with fragrant, dark green leaves
and timber that was traditionally used for canoes and the
things that is the Mighty Tortata.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Feels like it was a I.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Did Bruce the Kinky Goth write that one?

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, Bruce the Kinky Goths into I.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Do you think you do better than Jared? Two hundred
bucks up the grabs tomorrow, Jerry.

Speaker 8 (42:47):
And then the Hodarchy Breakfast Jerry and the Night the
Hodarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Food Hiders on the high Ache Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
But that was one of the most narrowly dodged Hot
Mike situations we've had in quite a while. Actually there
on there if one probably Milli sick in just before
we came on here, but not on here.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
We're talking about things that you hide from your partner, yep.
And things that you share with your partner.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yes, and we're the liners.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, and someone's seen straight through the matrix on three
four eight three. Is this Jerry's disgusting crime of sharing
tooth brushes again? That's bad and wrong and the reason
baby Jesus cries, I.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Did not know this about you.

Speaker 6 (43:26):
Jerry shares a tooth brush toothbrush with hang on, you
share it like is in the one toothbrush in you're
on sweet at home and you go share it.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
I'm always surprised at people's discussed and shock around us.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yes, I find it just zero. Wait wait hear his rationale.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Okay, so my rationale? So okay, let me explain the situation.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Fair. So we've got an electric toothbrush. We've got an
electric tooth we.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
We So we've got one of those Phillips ones. Yeah,
we've got one yet, you know the Phillips one.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah, it's expensive. Does Bran matter? Is this a case
for coming? No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
It's just that it's like it's like four hundred bucks
or something. It's like so expensive.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
I've never tried one of those Phillips.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Crasonic bloody something.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
I'd love to try the Phillips. I'll just something it's.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Quiet me three by the way, it's very quiet, okay,
but it's also it seems to do a good job.
So anyway, we've got one of those. But we've got
one and you can put put different heads on it,
and we've got you get a different here, we've got
our own head.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah, I'm happy about that. But a lot of the
time I can't be asked changing heads.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
God, So I'll kick the can down the road and
just go with that's on there, unless unless I detect
that Tolsey is sick or even getting sick, which happens
a couple of times a year. And in those situations,
I'm like, I'm going straight for my own right. You'll
go COVID protocols and they've got a different color to them,

(44:52):
so you can tell what she does. But sometimes it'll
be like nine forty five going to bed, and I'm like,
I'm coming on sick and on the toothbrush and I
can't be but I'll give it a good rents before
I use it. But I mean, in my opinion, we
share DNA, and where you're going and the sharing of DNA,
we share so much more than a toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Do you mean by like pashion or something like that.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Saying so much more? I mean that's the least of
our issues. You know, so much more than.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Twenty five years in.

Speaker 6 (45:23):
Yeah, so so your retinale on this is that since
you know share bodily fluid, we've shd so much, my bet.
But at the same time it just feels unu why
why is this the one part of your life where
you're not getting all germophobic.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
And I'm not a germophobe, you know, I'm not. I
like to have things tidy, I like I like tidy,
but I do.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Not care about gyms.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
I mean I care about gyms like I don't want
to get sack and I don't want someone coughing on me,
and I don't want to pack up some snotty like handkerchief.
But yes, apart from that, I'm not scared of dirt.
I'm not scared of germs.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
It's like everywhere you can't worry about gyms, you can't
even see them.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
I think the difference between swapping bodily fluids and sharing
a toothbrush is the toothbrush is used to dislodge bits
of like food and plaque and gross stuff from your teeth.
You're yeah, You're then passing that on to your partner.
It's the equivalent to me of sharing a piece of
toilet paper. So here, I've used it. Now I'm going
to pass it over to you, and you use it.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
That is so far away. I think you're after the record.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Firstly, I'm not like eating, and then i got bits
of meat through my teeth and I've got this toothbrush like.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
Hacking it out. That doesn't work. But she might be
clean my teeth three times a day, you know, in
the morning, I clean before I go to work, some
shot and.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Then I cleaning in before bed. Like there's no floss,
there's no like bits of food stuck in there. That
the the tooth brush is only dealing.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
With very small amounts of plaque that would be building up.
Maybe overnight would be the worst. It would be the
worst thing. I mean, I'd love to can't even see
the plaque.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
I'd love to First of all, I would love to
hear anyone opinion three four eight three, give us a call, oh,
eight hundred, Haijaki. But particularly if you're if you work
in the dental health industry. I would love to hear
the statis fact and figures on this.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
I'm getting some hate on the text message on the
text machine. Who does your partner told snow about this?
Shared too?

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Brother?

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Okay, that's good. I just wasn't.

Speaker 6 (47:19):
I just wanted to make sure she's not running her
own tooth brush, and you were just kind of, you know,
getting him on the back of it.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
I only share hellos, we sharp beds, slightly bloody, share a.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
Thank you Jerry and Mini the Hodarky breakfast.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
So there was thinking it's quite normal to share a
toothbrush with your partner that you've been going out for
twenty five years, but apparently not.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
No, a lot of hate coming through for you on
the text line three four eight three feel free to
get in touch three four o three oh eight hundred hodak.
How much do you hate Jerry?

Speaker 2 (47:49):
This person?

Speaker 1 (47:50):
If you Jerry, Jerry piece of shit. We do the
same thing as Jerry and his wife with the sheared
DNA electric toothbrush, writes this Texas. So there's one person
in there entirely outweighed by a text along this line
that's pure filth. Jerry, disgusting, think about the blood off
the gums going into your mouth rooms.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
No blood, there's no blood on the gums.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Does Jerry share the toothbrush on his birthday?

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Sometimes? I see what you're saying, Jerry.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
This toothbrush thing is the equivalent to a mumma bird
chewing a fish and regurgitating it into a babybird's mouth. Yeah,
you are the baby bed well, hold on the baby
get you get.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
In pelicant well depends who's gone into the bathroom first,
I suppose.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yeah. I mean we don't like we take turns. It's random,
but we take turn your molars. Yeah, we go one
one one tootheat. Imagine that what It's good? It gets
a good runce like a good.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
There's a lot of questions around. Will you use it
after her in certain situations? But as an anniversaries and
so oh?

Speaker 2 (48:50):
I see, yeah, I don't even think about that. Do
you guys share other things and you're in your life?

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Yeah, I mean we shar towels, like does anyone how
do you? I mean, you're so worried about this minight,
what about sharing a towel with Jeff? Like you're wiping
that all around your butts and pieces and stuff and
then you you're sharing a toel face.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Yeah, but after the after the I've gotten out of
the shower. Like, for example, if there was like a
loofer thing, we were using it to scrub it off yourself,
I probably wouldn't use hers, really, Yeah, you know what
I mean, although we don't Although we don't have that,
so I've actually never faced that situation.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
You wouldn't use the loaf because I mean you go
to a to an airbnb or a hotel or something
and there's a loofer there and you don't know who's
used that loofer.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, I won't use that. I don't really. I'm not
a loofer guy anyway. I'm not a bad example.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
I feel like i'd use it to do tail if
I was standing somewhere and I was weir and I
realized that I had no towel and it was like
one that was just piled up in the corner. Yeah,
I think I'd be luning myself if I said I
wasn't going to use that.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Yeah, that's a boarding school hangar. If I go down
the changing rooms here at work and I'm having a
shower and I've forgotten my toel, bad luck, brother, that's
our towel.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Now, well, you can't do anything else.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
It's just I think the difference in my mind is
that it's an implement used for cleaning your body, and
then that's what you're sharing. I'm with you like, oh,
you know, I'll use the cutlery that she's using whatever.
But it's it's just that it's a cleaning thing. That's
what grosses me out.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
Get an oral beast?

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Is this text to you? Absolutely, I'd love to try one.
I'd love to try one of You've go one electric.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Toothbrush, hard to go back to manual? See that t shirt.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
Jerry in the Night the Hodarchy Breakfast and.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
I'm coming under some pretty heavy fire. I got to
say on three four, eight, three and eight hundred how
to keep people ringing up just to abuse me off
here the effect that I share a toothbrush that my
partner tolls it.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Yeah. In fact, someone came running from the other side
of the building just to scream at you in the office,
just while that song's playing. A couple of texts saying
that you're basically doing the equivalent Jerry sheares the toothbrush
with his partner. You're basically baby birding each other. His
defense is that we shared DNA in other ways. Someone
sicks through on three four a three. The way you
say she DNA makes it sound like you were closely

(51:02):
related before marriage. Well to that, I would say, they're
not married.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Someone for twenty five years. Is not much that you
haven't seen together.

Speaker 3 (51:10):
I mean no particularly, And guys out there will understand
what I'm saying. When you when you watch your partner
of birth at that point, you see some stuff that
you know you can't forget. Yeah, and you've become very
close over there.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
And you go, you know what, I'm gonna use a toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
And they were bonded in blood at that point, literally,
and you're like, give me that toothbrush.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
I am so here here's an interesting they say, it
happens to me. Here's an interesting point. On three four
eight three. This person shears his toothbrush with she's got
no fillings, but I go for fillings yearly at denders visits.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Is there a.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Is there a difference in the oral hygiene of one
or two of you? Well, you're catching fillings. I don't
know does she have anything?

Speaker 3 (51:58):
So you're going so so he's going, she's got more
plank going on on her mouth, and she's transferring the
plaque across. I don't think so, because I think, aye bark,
I think the plank just manifests itself. Anyway that that
comes from just that's just what happens in your mouth.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Another one here saying are times are times too tough
to just buy two toothbrushes?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (52:19):
I do.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
I do understand the four hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Four hundred dollars, I just can't. You know, I've got
a block on that one. I just can't bring I'm
kicking the can down. I can't bring myself to buy another.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
One Christmas prisoner, something like that for I could probably
put it on the true rewards. Actually it was my
true rewards. I could, but I just I don't know.
You don't have to get silly because I'll waste four
hundred dollars. Yeah, I'll throw four hundred dollars away.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
I've seen you.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Throw particularly, I will throw four hundred.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Dollars, throw three fifty away. But you don't have to
get the four hundred dollars one. You can get the
four dollar one, you know what I mean. You don't
have to get the I don't know.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
I've got We've got plenty of We've got plenty of options.
There's plenty of manual options. And when one go, when
someone goes away, one of the two of us goes away,
then I'll take the manual option with me.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Okay, where is this? Next time you're on k roade,
it too am and you're wandering up to the ATM jury. Yeah,
just think to yourself, Hey, this one hundred bucks could
buy me a toothbrush for It's been a long time
since I've done that sort of thing, to be honest,
a long time. Here's someone that says here used to
share a toothbrushure with my missus until she became a
celiac and then worked out that it was making your sick.

(53:27):
So you know, like gluten and.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Tolerance, my missus Celia gluten free tard, and so your.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Gluten that's stuck between your teeth is somehow getting its
made into a tooth.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Jesus, surely that's not enough.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I mean, that's pretty hardcore, hardcore glute analogy to pick
it up off a toothbrush. That's like you used to
think you could catch diseases off toilet sets. But you
were saying off here Jerry, what about all the vapes.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Oh yeah, well that's the thing. I mean, Mashy, look
at me in the eye. Mash Yeah, look at me
in the eye.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
You're saying that you wouldn't share a tooth breath with
your partner because of not oral hygiene.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Yet you will. I've seen you, guys. It's like it's
like that vapor is your baby. You're in your partner.
It's like, who's looking after the vape? Yourself? No, I've
seen that. No, that does not happen.

Speaker 8 (54:25):
Jerry and the hold Ikey Breakfast. Jerry and Mini The
hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Miss Dinner Lives the game where we named five one
armed people two callers on eight hundred Hardachy. You have
to tell us whether they did or alive.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Devised by veteran Tans, camera operated Dave Peace on the
way to interview Louvinson earlier in the year. He's got
new ideas, Dave Piers always got new ideas for the segment.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
We're always open to hearing them. I mean, this one's
been an absolute hit, so I trust Dave Piers. We
go to the lines where we find Sam from Auckland. Sam,
you're an anisthetist as a warm up spell anisthetist.

Speaker 7 (55:07):
Can you spell it?

Speaker 2 (55:09):
God? No?

Speaker 1 (55:09):
And I know for a fact Zoe can't either, because
it's written on the board in front of us and
I don't know how to spell it, but I know
that's not how you spell it. I've heard a conspiracy theory, Sam,
that you could probably put to bed is that you're
actually awake for the entirety of a surgery, but the
anesthetic just wipes your memory. Is that true?

Speaker 7 (55:27):
Note it depends who's looking after you, but not what
I'm looking at.

Speaker 3 (55:32):
I think it doesn't. It depend with like the Roe hypno.
I mean, we're getting into deep and pharmaceuticals here, but
like the one that they do with the we you
have your wisdom teeth out that one, Apparently you're awake
the whole time, but you have absolutely.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
No memory of it at all.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
Yeah, it's pretty accurate.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Yeah, but there's some obviously that you definitely are not
awake for. What's what I found out recently, Sam, and
you can confirm this is that the general an aesthetic
is not just one thing.

Speaker 7 (56:05):
Well, it usually is just one specific drug that is
anthetizing you. But there's a whole lot of other things
that we add to it that kind of adds that effect.
So you know, like sent and it was a painkiller
that we add to the profile. But both of them
helped keeping your sleep.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Could you bang a bit of a zimpic in this?
I can lose some weight as well.

Speaker 7 (56:24):
Yeah, I've been following your story closely.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Mate, Sam, can you test your buzzer please? It's your name,
Oh Sam Good. You're up against Paul from fun at A.
He's a belt in morning Paul, Morning boys? How are
we good?

Speaker 9 (56:41):
Pool?

Speaker 2 (56:42):
Beautiful?

Speaker 3 (56:43):
Nor I understand Paul, that building is going game busters
and fung at eight at the moment.

Speaker 9 (56:49):
Hey, we're flat out. We're yeah, we're we're six days

Speaker 9 (56:55):
Yeah, happy days.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Great to hear, Paul. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
And you must be excited about the proposal to whack
a highway through to cut.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Down the time between Auckland and Fund. That'll be good
for business.

Speaker 9 (57:07):
Yeah, that will be good for business. And yeah, we
do the we do the trip down to Hawkhand for
various reasons quite a lot throughout the year. So that'll
definitely help with that city of the future.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
I reckon and take it told us.

Speaker 9 (57:19):
So we're down there every second weekend sometimes.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Right, you've got the best of both worlds.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
You're going to test your buzzer there, Paul. It is
your name, Paul.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Okay, but that seems to be working well.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
All right, Fellas, here we go the way it works
buzzer and I will say your name and then say
whether the person's dead or alive. Creator of the Peanuts,
Charles M. Schultz, dead or alive?

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Sam Schultz is quick. I'm just kidding dead this week,
I've got to the Peanuts have been around and he's
actually no, he didn't drive this week, but he was.
It was his birthday this week.

It was today? Is going to be one hundred and
three or something. Okay, So Sam has one up actress
famous for her role of Monica and Friends, Courtney Cox.

Speaker 3 (58:13):
Sam Courtney Cox as alive. Okay, he's got off to
a flying start.

Speaker 9 (58:17):
Sea Yeah, come on, Paul, come on.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Paul, just checking the abacus too, under Sam.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
I know things are pretty chill up.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
There in Northland, Paul, but you just need to be
a little bit quicker on the Buzzer, best known for
tunes like Genny in a Bottle of Christina Aguilera, Damn Paul,
Christina Aguilera is yeah, of course she is.

Speaker 2 (58:38):
All right, of course you who are?

Where's we come there? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (58:42):
Here comes Paul, politician, revolutionary, former leader of coober for
del Castro, Paul.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
I think that was Paul first, but we didn't have

Tom Abercrombie who joins us in the studio there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
Okay, Tom, Hey, Jerry.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Who did leave the best to last?

Speaker 10 (01:00:10):
An important part of the trip and a great time
year for me too to get away on the road
and get some NBA hoops.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
Yeah, I mean, is it exciting for you to get
your ear tued off about basketball while you're watching a game?

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Are you up for talk about? You know, how the
offense is running, whether they're running his own defense? Yeah, Well,
that's the thing an NBA game. There is a lot
of time. There's a lot of timeouts, a lot of
time to fill.

Speaker 2 (01:00:33):
But it's good.

Speaker 10 (01:00:33):
I mean, guys on the trip, they're absolutely into it
and they love it. And for most of them it's
their first time seeing an NBA game And for me,
I haven't seen that many myself as well, and especially
on this trip. You know, the games that we're going
to see, we're going to get to see Steph Curry
and Anthony Edwards go out and get to see Lebron,
and Luca and Jokich, get to see James Harden and

(01:00:55):
Victor Wembyama. So like some of the absolute superstars who
I've never seen play myself. So I'm going to be
just exciders the punters that are going along.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Yeah, hundred percent, and I imagine Tom.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
It's different watching games on TV and then being there
live because you get to see how players move and
these guys are supreme athletes, I mean pretty much is
kind of the best athletes in the world NBA athletes.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Actually, when you get down to.

Speaker 10 (01:01:17):
It, yeah, no, it is quite incredible from a you know,
when you're up close and personal with these guys, and
because you're watching them on TV, there's a bunch of
six eight, six nine athletes running around it. They're all
the same size. It doesn't look that impressive, but when
you're up next to the even me as I'm six
foot seven, I'm not small, but I feel small next
to these guys and you step on an NBA court

(01:01:38):
and the way that they're able to move at that size.
So like Lebron six foot nine, six foot ten and
twenty kilos undred and twenty kilos can jump out of
the gym. I played against Anthony Edwards back in twenty
fifteen at the World Cup. I've never seen someone move
so effortlessly at such a size six eleven seven foot

(01:01:58):
moving around like a point guard.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
It's freakish. Yeah, it is freakish. I just went to
an NBA game about a month ago, and it's it's
like when you see a giraffe move in the flesh
for the first time, and they seem like they're moving slowly,
but they've covered this ridiculous amount of ground. My message
was asking me if they're playing on a different court.
She's like, this is smaller than a normal quarter, isn't it.
It's like, no, these guys are enormous.

Speaker 10 (01:02:21):
And the outrageous thing is, with all these incredible athletes,
we're gonna go and see Victor Wimbiyama, who just puts
all those other guys to shame too. This guy's seven
foot four while he's living around like more gracefully than anyone,
pulling up and shooting threes, and he looks like I
can't wait to see him in the flesh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Well, he's listed at seven foot four, but there's rumors
that he actually might be even taller than that, Like
he might be furbbing about how tall he is. It
could be ten feet tall by the time you say
him because because he's still growing. So yeah, so how
do you because you've played against a lot of the
well not a lot of but you've played against a
few NBA players, Like what was that? Like, is it
that big a step up? Because they say, you know,
the the Australian NBA, it'll be up there like top

(01:03:01):
two three leagues in the world, wouldn't it.

Speaker 10 (01:03:03):
Yeah, especially as now and as I said, you know,
I was lucky enough to play against team you say,
twenty fifteen World Cup and you know they had James
Harden and Steph Curry and Curry Irving and Anthony Davis
all playing for that team, and it was it was
absolutely incredible. Yeah, it's like being on two k as
with everything you get. You get out there in the
court and you realize that they're humans. And after you know,

(01:03:25):
ten to fifteen minutes of being star struck yet, you
realized you can compete with these I remember driving past
James Harden and dunking it and just feeling on top
of the road. He did the same thing to me
about ten times, but like, yeah, it is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Yeah, how the break is going this year? Because they
got off to a they got off to a tough
start to start the season. I feel like they've they've
sort of come around a little bit. But then whenever
you check the scores, it's like they lost by five points,
although won by fifty points. What's going on? They feel
like they're quite up and down this year.

Speaker 10 (01:03:57):
Yeah, they've had some massive wins and a lot of
tight losses, a lot of games where we're up sort
of ten to fifteen points and just haven't been able
to close things out in the fourth quarter. It's a
hard position to be in when you've built up a
lead and then being able to hold onto it and
continue playing aggressively. And I think they've struggled with that
balance at times and being able to close out games.

(01:04:17):
And Barstall's a game of momentum and swings and things
can change very quickly. There's four or five games here
we say we probably should have won, and we've been
in a very bit different position. But you probably say
that every year and every season they are where they
are now. We really need to string a couple of
wins together and just get some consistency going. But had
a great win last week and a fever break this week.

(01:04:40):
The tool Blacks are playing Australia this weekend and next
week as well in the double header, which will be
a really good series Tool Blacks. It's the best team
we've had together for a long time, so lots of
hoops on at the moment is yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
Well, you must be excited about where basketball is because
it's I think the fastest growing sport in New Zealand.
Now different when you were growing up, were you what
got you into basketball?

Speaker 4 (01:05:04):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
What got into watching basketball? What were you watching? Because
in those days, it's not like you could get NBA
action on your phone.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
It wasn't anywhere was it get into the line out to?

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:05:13):
No, I had Michael Jordan eretime on VHS and a
couple of old basketball highlights there and I used to
love watching that. I hooped in the backyard with my brother,
but I was just like another QB kid. I played
everything I loved. I loved my cricket, my tennis, my golf,
and just played everything I could. And then eventually I
started stretching out more and more and got skinnier and skinnier,
and realized I was going to snap if I stayed

(01:05:34):
in the line out and started to take basketball, and
I really got caught up in the wave that basketball
and the momentum that the sports started to get. You know,
the Tour Blacks finishing third at the two thousand and
two World Cup, and then you know, the Breakers coming
into into the Australian Basketball League and I was at
the first game of that and watching as a fan
and then getting to sort of get caught up in

(01:05:56):
that wave of basketball and realized it was a sport
that I could play as a professional and in a
good living, but also loved it. I think it's a
great sport and people are starting to realize that now
and more and more kids are playing. We don't have
enough courts in Auckland or in the country, and you know,
they're absolutely act capacity at the moment, and the kids
are loving it and the sports in a great place.

(01:06:18):
How do you go in your retirement when you watch
because you're still closely associated with the club. When you're
watching those games and it's coming down to the wire,
there's three or four points.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
You're like, I've got my boat some wee.

Speaker 10 (01:06:30):
You know, I have barely picked up a basketball since
I retired. I'm never going to play any social social hoops.
I'm very happily just sitting on the sidelines and watching.
But I must say there's times, you know, in the
fourth quarter, where things are tightening up, and I'm like, oh, man,
like those are the moments I miss, when you know
the heat is on and the pressure is on, and

(01:06:51):
guys are stepping to the free throw line to make
big shots under pressure, or you can just tell like
they need someone in that time out just to settle
things down or get us stop.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
Those are the moments I miss.

Speaker 10 (01:07:01):
Because the more, the longer and longer you play, the
harder and harder it is, I think, to find those
real highs in the sport. And obviously when you're in
high intense and pressure environments, that's where you really feel
alive and into it. And I certainly still get that
when I'm sitting there watching these days and there's a
close game in the fourth quarter, I'm like, man, it
would be nice to be out there, but I'm more
than happy just sitting there with a beer and watching

(01:07:23):
them now and hurling some encouragement and abuse occasion.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
Yeah, Tom Abercromie, thank you so much for coming in.

people along there. It's going to be an absolutely awesome trip,
