been fascinated by the woman's BBL that's on the TV here,

recording going. But we're here and we've got to go.

How do I chan? Check check one one two? Do
(00:49):
you know what's bad about that?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Is? I actually don't know why that's done. That that's
happened naturally. It's not good that that's happening by default.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's okay, Look, it's okay. I mean every now and then,
why I start doing like this? Yeah? Been there man there,
Well I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think it's because I've been hanging out in Dunedin
for the last couple of hours, we're in Dunedin and
that kind of stuff that that voice just starts happening naturally,
I think fellas. By the way, this podcast not to
get to inception on it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It's Susie Baits. No it's not. It's a different Baits anyway,
otherwise it's totally going to distract you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So this podcast goes out tomorrow on the eighth of
November twenty twenty four, but we are recording it on
the evening. It is currently eight fifty one pm on
Thursday the seventh.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We are sure we're going to do this? You sure
we're going to do this? I don't know, pants man,
Are you sure we're going to do this? I feel
like we probably shouldn't go should we Should we do this?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I've I've just spent the last twenty minutes setting it up.
I'd be extremely disappointed boys if we weren't going to
do it.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay, here's an idea. We do it. Sure if it sucks,
we delete it. About you say that every time? How
about that? You say that literally every day? Jury and
we just have to put it out.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It's the way corporate business works, as we have an
obligation to corporate.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
By the way, we've just been at some kind of
Emberson's thing.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was a corporate business, it was That's how corporate
business works.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Man. You turn up somewhere, you do business, and then
you leave. Now I'm starting to talk.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Man, I feel like I feel like the more, the
more days I work at this company, the less the
more I realize it's not corporate business at all.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, that's yeah, Well here we are. We're so lucky.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You're into need and with a bloody beautiful view right
now doing a podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
When you say beautiful viewpants, Man, we're looking at a
car p. It's a car park. I mean, it's a
beautiful hotel. That's a beautiful hotel. What's this hotel?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's the EBB. I think it goes by the EBB Hotel.
Beautiful hotel. Yeah, pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Sort of run a little bit like if if any
podcast listeners have been to the Laurel Hotel in Hollywood
with Hollywood real reference there, Jerry. It's it's essentially got
a central courtyard to it and then all of the
rooms face inwards, so if you open your front door,
(03:24):
you you sort of look down into the central courtyard
and it is something out of the movies. This place. Yeah,
it's pretty cool. I've never stayed a something. I do
not feel like I'm in too needen Weirdly enough, but
when we arrived in the in the reception, there was
a woman who's sitting at a table knitting. Careful what
just careful? What I mean, there's a lovely hotel. Yeah,
(03:47):
well no, she's sitting there knitting at this table. It
didn't look like she was a receptionist. She had a computer.
Looked like she was WFH. But like you know, she
was knitting. She the computer there, and I had to
ask you. I said, are you the receptionist? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And look it was extremely uncomfortable for the rest of us, actually, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And then what did she say? Yes? And I said,
are you sure? Because I didn't know whether she was
maybe just joking. Well, I mean, why was she be joking?
She's sitting in the hotel. But quite a funny joke,
like to sit there at a table and then all
of a sudden, you pretend to be a receptionist, you
to pretend to check people into a hotel, and it's
just actually you just w with hing like I thought
(04:30):
that would actually be a good gag, but maybe there
are cameras around who knows, But turns out was the
receptionistaging what we've just been praying. Well, maybe I did
see Ben Boyce downstairs. But it was pretty dn't you reckon?
It was pretty weird like she was sitting at that
table with the knitting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, it was fucking weird, cool, weird, but quite pretty cool.
Smell good, very nice lady as well lovely. Can I
just clarify on the smells? Could comment that was more
the room in the hotel rather than that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was a diffuser. She I asked her that was
initially There's a few thing I said after I'd worked
out whether she was the receptionist, I said, this smells amazing,
and she goes, it's the diffuser over there, because I
have been to a hotel recently where they actually put
tom Ford Jesus fucking fabulous through the through the air conditioning.
Do you know.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I don't want to read this though, but I also
spray my cologne when I walked through the door on
a couple of walls and at hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Some reason it maybe it makes me feel home. I
wonder why I came in here. It smelled like Lynx Africa.
That was you, that was my room, smells linkoln two
dollars down.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, the pants man's just spraying Links Africa around the joint.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Anyway, boys, we've we've had a good day.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it's actually I think when you get a down
like this, indoneda it is, it just makes you think,
why aren't we living in Dunedin?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Actually, that's the first thing I thought was Mesh was
like hugely soon to be arrived.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
He goes man. It was quite interesting because I was
sitting in the car beside Mesh and it was like
he'd come back to his tutoring and why why you
know the South Island to Wau. I felt like that
he was immediately you just sort of kicked up a gear.
I didn't know. It was quite interesting. I've not really
ever seen someone do that. Before you were you were back,
you were home, You're on the main man, I mean
(06:12):
you were in a complete different province, the province you
live in. Do you think it was better or worse?
You know, my new kind of Dan personality.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Would you say, like you prefer the MESHI or would
you say you prefer the Auckland MESHI look, I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Don't really like either of them, but you know, if
I had to choose Dan mesh or the or the
Auckland one, I'd probably take the one because there's less
of it. What about you, pens, Do you prefer the
Duneedan mash or the Auckland mash? Yeah? Well there was
something about the Dunedin mash. You know. We drove through
(06:47):
Lovely Town Otram.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think it was was it and we saw a
few junior meshies potentially as well, and it was it
was It was a good time, was.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That we did.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
There's a couple of young messages the year that'd just
beenished school, because it was three thirty when we drove
through there, and.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They were when these kids like nine twelve one was
like sixteen steen years one was you I knew he
was going home to do some magic tricks. Just looked
like the kind of young guy who was going home
to do some magic flatters as well?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
How did you know that it was that it was
hitting home to do some magic? That was you said that?
Look at okay, right, enough about medium fowlers. Come on,
let's all tighten up here. Okay, look the Danita Meshi
is out in full forth and I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, what's on the agenda? What are we doing on
the pooka? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Today we visited Castle Street speaking of turning a wha wah. Jerry, geez,
you've there is a second home to you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I love it, God, you love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You went down there? Was it twenty nineteen? You went
down there for the infamous seven sharp Death Star visit.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
How did you know the year? Well, because I.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Was second year UNI in twenty nineteen and there was
a few people who I knew they were in the
flat in that video, and I recognize a few faces
for your mates from the old Death starre flat.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And it's a it's an incredible place.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You've got to give props to people for living there
for fifty two weeks of the year. Whatever forty weeks
of the year. Maybe that is a it's a feat.
I was there for three days one time and I
was like, holy shit, I don't think I'm ever coming
back here in my life. I had I had PTSD
when I was walking in that road today. Holy shit,
it's full on that place. It's got like eight bedrooms. Yeah,
all it's got fungi growing on the floor. They recarpet
(08:31):
it every year, they repaint it, They basically redo the
whole place. There was actually a handyman doing work in
the top room today when we were there as well.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's someone owns that place, you know, there's a landlord
and they are they are making a killing out of
that place.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
That was my question is how does it work with
the landlords in Castle Street? Are they just quite happy
with what happens. Yeah, you pay a huge bond.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think, well, I think you pay about fifty percent
more than what we'd pay for a normal flat. Was
it on Castle Street or Leith Streets sort of the
ones around it? So they ended up paying a big bond.
They pay a lot more a week, and I think
like that house can't be worth too much the state
of the flat, and then they just pay for repairs
(09:12):
and stuff. So I feel like they make a lot
of money bread where. But he owns a house just
off Castle Street as well. Oh yeah yeah, the halfback, yes, yeah,
the form all black good man.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He's going to search up how much is the average
rent here? And dnedin how much is the average, because
I'd just be curious to know because it just feels like, mate,
we saw the amount of furniture outside these places as incredible.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Is there any furniture left inside the house? They said
that there was an accumulation of of couches that people
have just dumped their couches outside their place. I said,
you burn those, bastard, wouldn't you? And they said no,
we've already done that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But the people are the couches that dropped them their
couches And they said no, no, We've already got in
trouble for for that, yeap, And and we can't do
that anymore because you know, we're we're getting too much trouble.
I'm just going to tell you how much a house
in Castle Street's actually worth. How much is the average
rent on home stock Cot?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, well when I was there, my mates without side,
I wasn't there, my mates were there. They said they
paid about fifty or one hundred and fifty percent more
than what a normal flat would play just for that
year experience. It seems like a great year experience though,
and I'm sure you'd learn a lot of potential life lessons.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, Zeta zeta the zeta zeta flat one point eight
million for that place? Really is that in Dneda? Well? Yeah,
this one here is seven thirty five k that's just
like a what is this place? It's like a three
bedroom one through ninety five square meter two hundred and
twenty eight scream meter section seven hundred and thirty five
(10:52):
k for that. What's the hotel going for? What is
that on the same road as Yes, yeah, the hotel's
just just yeah, it's a bit closer to the sex
sexty flat, I believe down there. See that one's one
point one million. Geez, I'm having a look.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
At the average weekly rent growth. It's a graph really
goes up and down here and done this.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
When you were young worper snapper Jerry, did you like
sort of during the age of people at university were
you were you coming down to Dunedin?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Was it a place you visited a bit or no? Yeah,
I know that I had friends down here, but it
was expensive, man. So to fly down to Dunedin in
those days, you're probably looking at five hundred bucks wow,
you know return or something like that. Loose there's a
lot of money and so we couldn't afford just to
fly down like we didn't have five hundred bucks to
do that. Yeah, so Na, you never came down and
(11:42):
visited anybody from Deneian that was not that was not
going to happen. Well, sometimes dudes who went to Canterbury
University is that thing that goes on like it is
it Easter twenty and they used to go from Dunedin
to Canterbury and vice versa. I think they used to
have the Eastern Tawney sometimes in Canterbury. Sometimes something I
haven't heard of that I used to twenty Maybe that
doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They sort of I think there was a few things
that Undy five hundred. There was a lot of things
they sort of under here they have in the last
I don't know, five ten, fifteen, twenty years, they've sort
of cut a lot of things out.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Because they were just a bit too rogue. I yess
that Onundy five hundred was cool and that do you
know what that started as? That under five hundred, So
you had to buy a car that was under five
hundred bucks. Yeah, and that's why it's called the only
five hundred. And then you dress it up and you'd
drive it from Denean. Yeah, Janina to christ that was
a big thing. I think that was for Easter Tawney.
It feels like, yeah, that was for Easter Tawney and
(12:33):
so yeah, I remember that. But that was that was
a South Island thing. I was. I was growing up
in the North Island. I did have friends that were
down here, but definitely it was it was as expensive
to come down. I mean people didn't people couldn't get
to Queens down to go skiing or anything in those days.
Like you know, if you're from the North Island, you
skin the North Island too. It's cost a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So it was the only way you'd come down here
is if you're doing television and stuff like that, like
having you here. But yeah, I feel like you spent
a lot of time in the South Island during your
TV days early doors.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, later on differently, but students, no, I mean because
Jetstar wasn't a thing in New Zealand back then, was it?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Because it was handset and in New Zealand, because when.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I remember, you was be able to get fifty dollar
flights fifty dollars each way flights to the need any
of your booked early enough, so it's only one hundred
turn if you're getting getting lucky. Oh, you guys are
living pretty fancy lives, you know, like I don't doubt it,
but younger than you guys. But like people living pretty
fancy lives nowadays compared to students back in the day,
(13:35):
Like students.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Had really nothing. I mean they had nothing. They're just
enough to eat. We've just enough to get booze. Certainly,
No as your father's going on, you know, like things
that people are doing now, there's none of that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
There's a lot of X cashes around like students. I
think also like we I mean, Hansman, when you were
a student, you would have got corselated costs at the
beginning of the year, which was a thousand bucks into
your bank account straight away, no question, StAst Jerry. And
then you'd get what three hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Bucks a week.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Well, I it was a bit of a different situation
with me because I went to Auckland, aut and I
was working. I was working about thirty hours a week
as well, So I didn't actually get the old student loan.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Because you were working. Yeah, well you were in eligible
for it, no, I just yeah, I just sort of
was working. Yeah, just sort. I was working doing the
old promo chefs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Here were new pants man working at a retail shop
as well, Wait, waiting selling pave my own way in life.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
No, that was I wasn't selling and selling stuff. Were
you buying and selling stuff as well on the side, Well, no,
I wasn't. That's that's he come of my hard work here.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, I'm just asking Saturday Sunday ten hours each
day at Puma Dressma.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It was a address, it was, it was. There was
some some dark days. Bro, Bro, that's good man. That
does not surprise me. I I you're standing out in
virtual pants man. That does not surprise me. I'm not surprising.
I mean, Mashye would have been buying and selling things.
It's barn and selling. I was working at Ripco, the
cars shop. I'm not buying it for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, I wasn't either, and I was there for two
you you know, I know nothing about cars.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And then I worked at a Platypus shoe store. Oh yeah,
for a couple of years, good shoe store.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was all right, did the job, paid the bills,
but then I was still getting shoudn't allowance on top
of that, so getting extra two hudred and fifty bucks
a week.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
So back to what you were saying about it in
the tel, No, just mainly the cock plato.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
No, no, don't be silly. I keep my hands and
my cock out of the tail. Yeah, what we're talking about.
Let's take a pastime. Jobs, Let's take a break here.
What's your favorite? Leta's take a break and we're going
to come back. We're just going to cleanse the palette.
All right, welcome back to the podcast. Here we are,
(15:50):
and Janedan Jesus been. It's been a good time, hasn't it.
Do you know what I've had issues with? And pants
Man he might haven't noticed this. And cap Bread News
in the corner over there, she might have noticed it
as well as Jerry. You've decided, for some reason that
you thought it was a good idea to wear a
ladder housing Yeah to Dunedin. And I mean, look, no judgment,
(16:11):
you look great. You look great in most things. That
upsets me deeply, but whatever, I'll move on. But you've
got this kind of like extra attachment to the front
of your trouser that jingle.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Can you hear that?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I assume people can hear that you get your chin
closer to that fella and you've been jangling that around
And what's the phrase you've been saying?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I forget it now, but there's been I believe I
was saying jingle mingle jingle in the jungle bum rushed
all three fours in the bundle as what I was saying.
But yeah, it's it's it's a it's a something I
bought when I was over in Munich. It's a it's
a chain that wraps around your downstairs almost it sort
of goes from one side of your leader housing to
(16:54):
the other. And I just noticed when I was over there.
I said to Lane because Lane was like, oh, what
one of those? Because in Germany it's all about your
leader housing and leader housing leather pants, yes, if you
don't know what the straps, but it's all about your
additions to the leader housing. So like if you've killed
an animal, you know you put it on your hat.
(17:15):
I've got, for example, a bit of beaver. Did you
kill an animal? All over there?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But I bought that bit of beaver that's stuck on
your hat and there's feathers that they stick out. The
Bavarians they want to show that you've killed animals and stuff. Yeah,
and this chain thing you're attached, but it's a bone
from animals that you've killed and things like that. So
that's what they're all about.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The way I'll explain it to the every day man
is your daughter who's about fourteen, who wants a pandora
a bracelet, and you buy accessories to put on the
bracelet kind of you know, for the birthday. Is that
type of thing is you've got that wrapped around essentially
your appendage. But the piece that I have an issue
with jury that you've attached on it is what can
only be described as a piece of wood.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And when you combine that piece of wood being jangled
around with that you know, horrific phrase that you spoke earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Jingle mingle jingle in the jungle one rest of all
three fours in the bundle. When you say that, while
you know, dangling around a piece of wood that's attached
to European diage, I just have a few issues with it.
You gotta say that. It's like this, Do you love
the way the Germans have just added lots of bits
on No. I think what we've done is so much better.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It's like the Bunnings are these Bunnings employees they have
the longer they've been there, the more accomplishments, they get
pins on the apron as well.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So it's kind of ye same vibe. I like that
sort of stuff, do you, Yeah, just additional bits, you know,
why wouldn't you want more bits on you?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Were you a badge guy? Like if you know backman,
you're an awful student. So it's hard to kind of
ask this question, I suppose, But did you have like
badges on your blazers?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Had a few badge in your blazer? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They didn't have badges at my school. So at both
the schools one school, I went to their ties, and
so you had like ties. You had an honors tie, Yeah,
you had scholars tie. Sure, you had prefixed tie, or
you had sport sport tie.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah? I had a lorn bowls tie, did you? Yeah,
you're me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I played long bowls for four years at my skill
and I've got four years of service for the Lom
Bowls team and had a long bowls tie.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I even knew you played lawn bowls pants man.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I got to a phase of my life's about thirteen
I realized, I want to get a tires for something
I want to It's not gonna be rugby. It's not
gonna be soccer, it's not gonna be cricket, it's not
gonna be basketball. So pursued a lorn bowl's career. I
got four years set out, played four years. We were
not playing five years actually, and who's we sorry a
few of my good mates. We started as a It
(19:39):
started as a bit of a joke, a bit of
a joke, and then you know it should have stayed
that way, by the way, two days off school a year,
and then you're like, oh, it's kind of worth it
to it, and then you're like, oh, it's actually quite
a fun sport. And then so yeah, five years later
Auckland Loan Bowls Champs as well what Auckland Bows Secondary
Schools lom Bowls Champs, yeat three years in a row.
One of the guys we played with is was at
the Wealth Games few years ago in the New Zealand side.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I was no, I wasn't that. That wasn't that close. People,
Hold on a second. This you've never told me about this,
I must have you know, Oh yeah, I didn't know
you're a lawn bowler. I haven't bowled for a while.
The last time we played was it's a great it's
a great sport, great sport. It is a great sport.
I think more people should do lawn bowls.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But yeah, it was Yeah, it was one of those
ones where I was like, all right, I'm I'm going
to get a tie somehow, and I took the long
route and uh, you know, you.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Got it And it's a good it's a great like
social sport, great way to meet young ladies. If people
put up now as well.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's funny you say that Jerry is we we myself
and former how did he break for Matt Heath? We
played in a bowls tournament once and there was we
were guided luckily by the lovely young Selena got out
to her name. She's represented Auckland before and bowls and
New Zealand at the Come On Wealth Games. And you're
right what you're saying there is I think it's underrated
the pool of hotties that operates inside the lawn bowl circle.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, totally. It's a good mix sport because you can
have a mix team. Yees. I mean you were playing
with Matt did you guys actually winning something.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, well, I mean, as I've said before, is I
think you know Selena and I won.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I've seen heath bowl I mean anything athletic. He's
lucky to get it on the right bias. He bowls
at the BBC, the Balmoral Bowls Club. Yeah. Yeah, and
they got cheap, cheap jugs of beer there as well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
That's a common reason he's at the BBC, is he Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
A cracker Jack. You've seen the Krackerjack movie. Yeah. A
lot of people got into bowling after that. Oh it's good.
I'm all four bowls. It's man, I love balls, but
you got it into bowls pants man, just because of
the badge. Yeah. Well it sort of started off.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It started off at the day, the one day off
a year, and then sure, then we saw the tie
then and I thought it could turn into something. And
then yeah, one day I went to my granddad's retirement village.
I thought it was quite good. I was about seventeen eighteen.
I was not bad against my peers, and then I
just got absolutely smoked by people. There was old ladies,
ninety years old zimmer frames beating me there. They couldn't
(21:59):
been down and it is crazy how much of a
sort of muscle memory sport it actually is as well.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, it's all feel yeah like it's but how beautiful
is it when you when you really get the feel
of the green, Yeah, and you come onto the forehand
and then you just just release beautifully And it's immediately.
Because I watched Matt release it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Before Matt Heath and he wobbles it out, it's not
just shocking, it's about halfway down that it finally finds
it's kind of even keel, whereas a really good bowl
just immediately gets it onto the right line.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It doesn't wobble at all. So satisfying. And then when
it comes around and is here the knock knock knock
as it makes its way into the jack and then
collects the jack. Such a good feeling. I didn't realize
that you were such a bowling yourself, Jerry Well. I
love bowles actually, and I was a member of the
BBC's Plotsombe Bowling Clubs. Oh yeah, that's a good spot. Actually, yeah,
(22:51):
it's around it it's mainly a drinking club. When we
first joined it and Ewan was in charge and we
were the first young people to join it and it
was just a collection about thirty alcoholics that were part
of the club and they were knowing in Auckland bowl
circles as a drinking club that couldn't bowl. And then yeah,
(23:14):
we joined up and a whole lot of people joined.
It was it was super fun. But I went on
a cricket tour once to Australia and we went out
and later on that evening we went back to the
bowls club and we got peered up and I got
a weird kind of a fun tournament and I got
drafted out of a hat to play against the club champ,
(23:38):
the champ of the thing, and he was teaching everyone
how to bowl and all this sort of stuff because
nobody knew, and I had a skinful and just out
of sheer luck, the ball just started. The balls just
really started rolling out of hand. And I took him
to task and he was he was not happy. He
(23:59):
was or did you get there?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I beat him, Wow, And I beat the I beat
the club the whatever champion was. He was the big
club champ there and he was dark, fair enough, heft.
He was angry and he left and everybody was watching
this final end and I needed like two bowls to
win or something like that, and I rolled a couple in.
(24:22):
I'm so prod and our team were just so stoked him.
I was laughing and maybe twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Jesus they would they didn't like it. It was one
of my proudest moments in front of a decent crowd.
I mean, there's about sixty people watching. If you considered
a rematch, if you thought about the.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Idea of maybe reaching out to him and going, you
know what, let me down to the BBC and let's
kind of hit this out once and for all.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I've got the yips. So the problem is now I
just got the rip. I've got a stiff wrist, and
you need to have just suppled. You need to supple
and the delivery, and I've got this stiff yip wrist.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
It's funny you say that Selena got actually told me
about the wanker's rest.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Is what it known as in the circles? Is that
what it is?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And well, I don't think it's actually because of that,
you know, I think it's just what they call it
because it's you know, amusing to them. But I have
heard about that, but apparently you can overcome it. So
don't stress too much about the workers rest.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I definitely have done a lot of masturbations since then,
so I don't know whether it's that or not, or
what it is, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean, I think maybe we should reach out
to the guy. We'll getting down to the BBC C
if you can roll one over.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I don't mean what the club was called to be honest,
it was in Australia. We'll find it mate.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Have you seen the movie Karaka Jack fin Ah? Yes,
I have some Crecker Jack yet that's a that's a
great one. Honestly, I might become a mere of the
Pontsu Balls Club because that would be a good pot
to have a car park as well.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah. Oh, they sold one of their bowling greens and
there's a development that's gone up, but they're still going there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I wonder if Evan's still there. He was you and
or Evan? Uh well, even the ewan ewan ewan.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Reach out three for three. Maybe we should think this
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We should maybe think about playing bowls as a as
a threesome.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I love that. I think I got to love that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
One of my friends played in the Club Champs at
Ponsonby and decided that it would be good idea. I
believe the first person ever to take kidtamine in bowl
And he said he was like he was bowling down
a really steep hill.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
But he beat this car.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Went through, No, he went through, Jeremy well, he went
through to the second round.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
He beat this guy through to the second round.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He was snorty and the toilets going out like you'd
take a bit of a break from it going oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So he'd kind of just top up. Ye when is
the right?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
He said, it's really hard, he said, it just makes
it so difficult. It's real sort of roll the thing
down and just hope.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It's really difficult. Half the time, didn't know whether you're
going upheld down? How which fair enough? Going on? Is?
It made it really confusing. But anyway, he beat this
guy I can't think of just living a few double
whiskeys and he lost the next round. How did you
go on that tournament? But I reckon he's the only
person ever to play in a bowls tournament on kidding,
(27:18):
I don't think there's like a proper it was a
proper tournaments and everything. I don't think anyone's ever done
that well maybe we should try that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know. I don't know, doesn't I don't say it. Yeah,
I think it's any good for that. I prefer to
be in, you know, quite a sober state when I'm bowling,
because I kind of you know, it's a it's quite
a serious thing for me.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, a couple of not a or a few big bots.
You want to have a few big bots.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well you just went from the serious thing to a
couple of big bots pantsman.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I also did say that we're gonna have a sober
week in this weekend as well.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Look at us here sipping on the Arison's Hazy pale
Ale at Ponsonby Bowling Club. The one rule that Ewan said,
what was it? Even beers in the glass, stay away
from the cubicles. Yeah, you're not allowed. You weren't, he said,
Like you're allowed to smoke on the greens, there was
no problem with that, but you weren't allowed to deliver
(28:11):
a bowl and have a drink in your hand at
the same time because it was dangerous because you might
slip over and land on the glass. For yourself, your
health and safety. You so you're allowed to drink at
the other end, you know, if you were encouraged.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But you weren't allowed to bowl with a glass in
your hand, well fair enough.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
You know, there's got to be a bit of etiquette
in the ground. Yeah, he was really he goes this
was he was really really focused on that one role.
I kind of admire it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Just be fast and loose, but when it comes to it,
you know, yeah, it's actually make sure we are playing
by the rules yet.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, so who was your team? If you don't mind
me asking, the old dicko in there was the old
Dicko playing? No, I don't think the old Dicko was.
I think the old just had a couple of kids.
The campaigner, the old campaigner was there. Yeah there, Boris
was there, the old campaign Borie was there. Was he? Yeah, nude,
he was nude. He was into it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I missed a call from Borrie bloys Ago. I haven't
got back to him, and that has just reminded me
that I've got to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Givehim a call back. Any Yeah, but it was. It
was a good time. And then for those of those
there were five dollars jugs, So you take twenty bucks
on and you walk out of there absolutely steamed.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, what were you drinking dB Draft, I'd say draft.
My dad used to play at the Okahube Bowls Club.
I was about seven to ten at there, or maybe
nine to eleven somewhere around that age.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He would go. He'd go there on a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I just I'd ended up staying there for about five
hours just watching Bill play bowls and then nightly. That's
how I got into it, because he would just get
so hooked and the old Sex dollar jugs whatever they were,
And yeah, he's for that. He's for the longest time.
He's always said, we've got to keep back down. We've
got to go join a bowls club. It's the greatest.
That's a good bowls club. Well, it's not a thing.
It's nothing now, it's just literally it's still sitting there.
(29:50):
It's by the Grammar Tech Teachers Easton Run Club and
it's literally just sitting there overgrown. Yeah, it's just an
overgrown grass. At the moment, that was a beautiful I
remember that. It's by the car park, yes, yeah, I
remember people bowling.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
There's no one doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It also feels like there's probably a lot of unused
land from bowling greens that just get overgrown.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Them. Well, that was why Ponsonbe was such a wealthy
club because it had all this saying real estate. It
had the greens had a sea view. They were sitting
right on Jis looks out down over the it's so expensive.
Is it's still there? Yeah, still there with the same
views and stuff. Yeah, but they've sold her. I think
they may have sold either one or two. They used
(30:33):
to have three greens, and they've either sold two or
one of their greens. And there's a giant apartment building
now that's there. But yeah, I think the drinkers got
together and said, let's just let's sell one of these
things and let's just split it between us. Enough, there
were hardly any members. It was like twenty members. I
actually was went there once with your lovely girlfriend fin
(30:55):
for a.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Tell her a story with caution for a work Chris's part, Okay, yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Well, I mean I'm not feeling great about this young
but you know, she's got a bit of work to
do as well, so I mean I feel like she's
doing right. But now on the bowling grain on the
yeah right.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Okay, yeah, she's not super gifted when it comes to bowls.
I mean gifted in other areas fellas, but just not
bowles anyway, going on about it, did.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You get in behind her? I was down there doing
this sort of because obviously I've played.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I've played a few years for you don't realize this
five years Saint Peter's a few years back in the
day of Cobey's Bowl Club. So I was sort of
I didn't know this before tonight, down there doing the
phantom you know, when they do the golf swing behind them.
I was sort of down there with Lauren and behind
her a sort of helping, helping her, and we played well,
you know she yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Yeah, she was better after you did, she was.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, Well it was just sort of easier for
the remainder of the afternoon if we just sort of
did the phantom thing for both of every bowl. So
it was a bit of a tandem effort, but we
got there.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I could just see you because you're such a big man,
you know, you're such a hulk of her man over
the top of Laurence. She's not a big girl, you know,
and just just guiding the hand through I can. Yeah,
it was a twenty twenty in game as well.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I don't know, I don't know if you need to
imagine it, Jerry Ills in quite hot. I don't know,
there's it's quite hot mimody.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Just the idea of them dressed up in their bowls whites,
just sort of guiding it through. You know, you're actually
it's pretty hot.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, there's worse things to imagine. Yeah, anyway, that's that's
thirty two minutes. Boys, are we happy with Eddy f?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Where did we still eat that? To lead that you
did say at the beginning if you were happyople delete it? Yeah?
I think we have a couple. What did they say?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
We've got a couple of corporate business things that we
do have to attend to, so it will actually end
up getting uploaded, Jerry, But don't worry about that and
your might be deleted.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
I'll just imagine it's deleted. Okay, alright, boys, are we
going to? Are we jumping in bed? Or what's out
of the town out Danine Casino Night and Day? Sounds
like a good night? Yeah, I'm injury. You had an invite?
I understand.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, sweet, let's let's let's give it all go whatever
whatever Dne offers to us. Let's try it out. That's
what I say. Are you sure, this is the place
to try things out. Let's try it out really, as
long you've got to do it with a few people
because you don't want to be walking the streets alone
at night because they're very empty, and then you see
(33:23):
one person you're like, this could be dangerous.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, you have spent a lot of time in your pants. Man,
we didn't really get I mean, there's so much and
chat we could have. I suppose we could do it tomorrow. No,
we could do it next week, because this is tomorrow.
I can figure that out.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Mate. We'll do it on the radio show. Jesus, do
we have to do a radio show tomorrow? Bullshit? Let's
delete this? Yeah, let's and let's can we and we're
canceling the radio show tomorrow as well. Let's do that.
Ye sweet? Okay, everyone's off KBC. All good stuff, you guys. Okay,
Check one two test tests. That's good, really good. Yeah, yeah,
we're away fellas.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I think, I think if I've got things right here,
we're recording bullshit, No, not bullshit, Like I know you've
been fascinated by the woman's BBL that's on the TV here,
and I know you're not super stoked to get this
recording going. But we're here and we've got to go.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Bll shit. It's not working, is it? No? This is working,
so I think, look not to get to it. This
is not working. Is it the woman's bbl? Oh? Sorry
your pantsman? Welcome along to the podcast. Keep what happened
to you? Your voice has changed? Is that? Actually? Yeah?
I think it's the microphone speaking like this? Really yeah?
How do I chan? Check check one one two? Do
(00:49):
you know what's bad about that?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Is? I actually don't know why that's done. That that's
happened naturally. It's not good that that's happening by default.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's okay, Look, it's okay. I mean every now and then,
why I start doing like this? Yeah? Been there man there,
Well I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I think it's because I've been hanging out in Dunedin
for the last couple of hours, we're in Dunedin and
that kind of stuff that that voice just starts happening naturally,
I think fellas. By the way, this podcast not to
get to inception on it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
It's Susie Baits. No it's not. It's a different Baits anyway,
otherwise it's totally going to distract you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So this podcast goes out tomorrow on the eighth of
November twenty twenty four, but we are recording it on
the evening. It is currently eight fifty one pm on
Thursday the seventh.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We are sure we're going to do this? You sure
we're going to do this? I don't know, pants man,
Are you sure we're going to do this? I feel
like we probably shouldn't go should we Should we do this?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I've I've just spent the last twenty minutes setting it up.
I'd be extremely disappointed boys if we weren't going to
do it.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Okay, here's an idea. We do it. Sure if it sucks,
we delete it. About you say that every time? How
about that? You say that literally every day? Jury and
we just have to put it out.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It's the way corporate business works, as we have an
obligation to corporate.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
By the way, we've just been at some kind of
Emberson's thing.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was a corporate business, it was That's how corporate
business works.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Man. You turn up somewhere, you do business, and then
you leave. Now I'm starting to talk.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Man, I feel like I feel like the more, the
more days I work at this company, the less the
more I realize it's not corporate business at all.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yes, that's yeah, Well here we are. We're so lucky.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You're into need and with a bloody beautiful view right
now doing a podcast.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
When you say beautiful viewpants, Man, we're looking at a
car p. It's a car park. I mean, it's a
beautiful hotel. That's a beautiful hotel. What's this hotel?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
It's the EBB. I think it goes by the EBB Hotel.
Beautiful hotel. Yeah, pretty interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Sort of run a little bit like if if any
podcast listeners have been to the Laurel Hotel in Hollywood
with Hollywood real reference there, Jerry. It's it's essentially got
a central courtyard to it and then all of the
rooms face inwards, so if you open your front door,
(03:24):
you you sort of look down into the central courtyard
and it is something out of the movies. This place. Yeah,
it's pretty cool. I've never stayed a something. I do
not feel like I'm in too needen Weirdly enough, but
when we arrived in the in the reception, there was
a woman who's sitting at a table knitting. Careful what
just careful? What I mean, there's a lovely hotel. Yeah,
(03:47):
well no, she's sitting there knitting at this table. It
didn't look like she was a receptionist. She had a computer.
Looked like she was WFH. But like you know, she
was knitting. She the computer there, and I had to
ask you. I said, are you the receptionist? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
And look it was extremely uncomfortable for the rest of us, actually, Jerry.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
And then what did she say? Yes? And I said,
are you sure? Because I didn't know whether she was
maybe just joking. Well, I mean, why was she be joking?
She's sitting in the hotel. But quite a funny joke,
like to sit there at a table and then all
of a sudden, you pretend to be a receptionist, you
to pretend to check people into a hotel, and it's
just actually you just w with hing like I thought
(04:30):
that would actually be a good gag, but maybe there
are cameras around who knows, But turns out was the
receptionistaging what we've just been praying. Well, maybe I did
see Ben Boyce downstairs. But it was pretty dn't you reckon?
It was pretty weird like she was sitting at that
table with the knitting.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, it was fucking weird, cool, weird, but quite pretty cool.
Smell good, very nice lady as well lovely. Can I
just clarify on the smells? Could comment that was more
the room in the hotel rather than that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was a diffuser. She I asked her that was
initially There's a few thing I said after I'd worked
out whether she was the receptionist, I said, this smells amazing,
and she goes, it's the diffuser over there, because I
have been to a hotel recently where they actually put
tom Ford Jesus fucking fabulous through the through the air conditioning.
Do you know.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I don't want to read this though, but I also
spray my cologne when I walked through the door on
a couple of walls and at hotel.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Some reason it maybe it makes me feel home. I
wonder why I came in here. It smelled like Lynx Africa.
That was you, that was my room, smells linkoln two
dollars down.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, the pants man's just spraying Links Africa around the joint.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Anyway, boys, we've we've had a good day.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it's actually I think when you get a down
like this, indoneda it is, it just makes you think,
why aren't we living in Dunedin?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Actually, that's the first thing I thought was Mesh was
like hugely soon to be arrived.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
He goes man. It was quite interesting because I was
sitting in the car beside Mesh and it was like
he'd come back to his tutoring and why why you
know the South Island to Wau. I felt like that
he was immediately you just sort of kicked up a gear.
I didn't know. It was quite interesting. I've not really
ever seen someone do that. Before you were you were back,
you were home, You're on the main man, I mean
(06:12):
you were in a complete different province, the province you
live in. Do you think it was better or worse?
You know, my new kind of Dan personality.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Would you say, like you prefer the MESHI or would
you say you prefer the Auckland MESHI look, I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Don't really like either of them, but you know, if
I had to choose Dan mesh or the or the
Auckland one, I'd probably take the one because there's less
of it. What about you, pens, Do you prefer the
Duneedan mash or the Auckland mash? Yeah? Well there was
something about the Dunedin mash. You know. We drove through
(06:47):
Lovely Town Otram.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think it was was it and we saw a
few junior meshies potentially as well, and it was it
was It was a good time, was.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That we did.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
There's a couple of young messages the year that'd just
beenished school, because it was three thirty when we drove
through there, and.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
They were when these kids like nine twelve one was
like sixteen steen years one was you I knew he
was going home to do some magic tricks. Just looked
like the kind of young guy who was going home
to do some magic flatters as well?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
How did you know that it was that it was
hitting home to do some magic? That was you said that?
Look at okay, right, enough about medium fowlers. Come on,
let's all tighten up here. Okay, look the Danita Meshi
is out in full forth and I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, what's on the agenda? What are we doing on
the pooka? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Today we visited Castle Street speaking of turning a wha wah. Jerry, geez,
you've there is a second home to you.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I love it, God, you love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You went down there? Was it twenty nineteen? You went
down there for the infamous seven sharp Death Star visit.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
How did you know the year? Well, because I.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Was second year UNI in twenty nineteen and there was
a few people who I knew they were in the
flat in that video, and I recognize a few faces
for your mates from the old Death starre flat.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And it's a it's an incredible place.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You've got to give props to people for living there
for fifty two weeks of the year. Whatever forty weeks
of the year. Maybe that is a it's a feat.
I was there for three days one time and I
was like, holy shit, I don't think I'm ever coming
back here in my life. I had I had PTSD
when I was walking in that road today. Holy shit,
it's full on that place. It's got like eight bedrooms. Yeah,
all it's got fungi growing on the floor. They recarpet
(08:31):
it every year, they repaint it, They basically redo the
whole place. There was actually a handyman doing work in
the top room today when we were there as well.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's someone owns that place, you know, there's a landlord
and they are they are making a killing out of
that place.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
That was my question is how does it work with
the landlords in Castle Street? Are they just quite happy
with what happens. Yeah, you pay a huge bond.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I think, well, I think you pay about fifty percent
more than what we'd pay for a normal flat. Was
it on Castle Street or Leith Streets sort of the
ones around it? So they ended up paying a big bond.
They pay a lot more a week, and I think
like that house can't be worth too much the state
of the flat, and then they just pay for repairs
(09:12):
and stuff. So I feel like they make a lot
of money bread where. But he owns a house just
off Castle Street as well. Oh yeah yeah, the halfback, yes, yeah,
the form all black good man.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He's going to search up how much is the average
rent here? And dnedin how much is the average, because
I'd just be curious to know because it just feels like, mate,
we saw the amount of furniture outside these places as incredible.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Is there any furniture left inside the house? They said
that there was an accumulation of of couches that people
have just dumped their couches outside their place. I said,
you burn those, bastard, wouldn't you? And they said no,
we've already done that.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But the people are the couches that dropped them their
couches And they said no, no, We've already got in
trouble for for that, yeap, And and we can't do
that anymore because you know, we're we're getting too much trouble.
I'm just going to tell you how much a house
in Castle Street's actually worth. How much is the average
rent on home stock Cot?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, well when I was there, my mates without side,
I wasn't there, my mates were there. They said they
paid about fifty or one hundred and fifty percent more
than what a normal flat would play just for that
year experience. It seems like a great year experience though,
and I'm sure you'd learn a lot of potential life lessons.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, Zeta zeta the zeta zeta flat one point eight
million for that place? Really is that in Dneda? Well? Yeah,
this one here is seven thirty five k that's just
like a what is this place? It's like a three
bedroom one through ninety five square meter two hundred and
twenty eight scream meter section seven hundred and thirty five
(10:52):
k for that. What's the hotel going for? What is
that on the same road as Yes, yeah, the hotel's
just just yeah, it's a bit closer to the sex
sexty flat, I believe down there. See that one's one
point one million. Geez, I'm having a look.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
At the average weekly rent growth. It's a graph really
goes up and down here and done this.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
When you were young worper snapper Jerry, did you like
sort of during the age of people at university were
you were you coming down to Dunedin?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Was it a place you visited a bit or no? Yeah,
I know that I had friends down here, but it
was expensive, man. So to fly down to Dunedin in
those days, you're probably looking at five hundred bucks wow,
you know return or something like that. Loose there's a
lot of money and so we couldn't afford just to
fly down like we didn't have five hundred bucks to
do that. Yeah, so Na, you never came down and
(11:42):
visited anybody from Deneian that was not that was not
going to happen. Well, sometimes dudes who went to Canterbury
University is that thing that goes on like it is
it Easter twenty and they used to go from Dunedin
to Canterbury and vice versa. I think they used to
have the Eastern Tawney sometimes in Canterbury. Sometimes something I
haven't heard of that I used to twenty Maybe that
doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They sort of I think there was a few things
that Undy five hundred. There was a lot of things
they sort of under here they have in the last
I don't know, five ten, fifteen, twenty years, they've sort
of cut a lot of things out.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Because they were just a bit too rogue. I yess
that Onundy five hundred was cool and that do you
know what that started as? That under five hundred, So
you had to buy a car that was under five
hundred bucks. Yeah, and that's why it's called the only
five hundred. And then you dress it up and you'd
drive it from Denean. Yeah, Janina to christ that was
a big thing. I think that was for Easter Tawney.
It feels like, yeah, that was for Easter Tawney and
(12:33):
so yeah, I remember that. But that was that was
a South Island thing. I was. I was growing up
in the North Island. I did have friends that were
down here, but definitely it was it was as expensive
to come down. I mean people didn't people couldn't get
to Queens down to go skiing or anything in those days.
Like you know, if you're from the North Island, you
skin the North Island too. It's cost a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So it was the only way you'd come down here
is if you're doing television and stuff like that, like
having you here. But yeah, I feel like you spent
a lot of time in the South Island during your
TV days early doors.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, later on differently, but students, no, I mean because
Jetstar wasn't a thing in New Zealand back then, was it?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Because it was handset and in New Zealand, because when.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I remember, you was be able to get fifty dollar
flights fifty dollars each way flights to the need any
of your booked early enough, so it's only one hundred
turn if you're getting getting lucky. Oh, you guys are
living pretty fancy lives, you know, like I don't doubt it,
but younger than you guys. But like people living pretty
fancy lives nowadays compared to students back in the day,
(13:35):
Like students.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Had really nothing. I mean they had nothing. They're just
enough to eat. We've just enough to get booze. Certainly,
No as your father's going on, you know, like things
that people are doing now, there's none of that sort
of stuff.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
There's a lot of X cashes around like students. I
think also like we I mean, Hansman, when you were
a student, you would have got corselated costs at the
beginning of the year, which was a thousand bucks into
your bank account straight away, no question, StAst Jerry. And
then you'd get what three hundred.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Bucks a week.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Well, I it was a bit of a different situation
with me because I went to Auckland, aut and I
was working. I was working about thirty hours a week
as well, So I didn't actually get the old student loan.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Because you were working. Yeah, well you were in eligible
for it, no, I just yeah, I just sort of
was working. Yeah, just sort. I was working doing the
old promo chefs.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Here were new pants man working at a retail shop
as well, Wait, waiting selling pave my own way in life.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
No, that was I wasn't selling and selling stuff. Were
you buying and selling stuff as well on the side, Well, no,
I wasn't. That's that's he come of my hard work here.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
You know, I'm just asking Saturday Sunday ten hours each
day at Puma Dressma.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
It was a address, it was, it was. There was
some some dark days. Bro, Bro, that's good man. That
does not surprise me. I I you're standing out in
virtual pants man. That does not surprise me. I'm not surprising.
I mean, Mashye would have been buying and selling things.
It's barn and selling. I was working at Ripco, the
cars shop. I'm not buying it for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, I wasn't either, and I was there for two
you you know, I know nothing about cars.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
And then I worked at a Platypus shoe store. Oh yeah,
for a couple of years, good shoe store.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I was all right, did the job, paid the bills,
but then I was still getting shoudn't allowance on top
of that, so getting extra two hudred and fifty bucks
a week.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
So back to what you were saying about it in
the tel, No, just mainly the cock plato.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
No, no, don't be silly. I keep my hands and
my cock out of the tail. Yeah, what we're talking about.
Let's take a pastime. Jobs, Let's take a break here.
What's your favorite? Leta's take a break and we're going
to come back. We're just going to cleanse the palette.
All right, welcome back to the podcast. Here we are,
(15:50):
and Janedan Jesus been. It's been a good time, hasn't it.
Do you know what I've had issues with? And pants
Man he might haven't noticed this. And cap Bread News
in the corner over there, she might have noticed it
as well as Jerry. You've decided, for some reason that
you thought it was a good idea to wear a
ladder housing Yeah to Dunedin. And I mean, look, no judgment,
(16:11):
you look great. You look great in most things. That
upsets me deeply, but whatever, I'll move on. But you've
got this kind of like extra attachment to the front
of your trouser that jingle.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Can you hear that?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
I assume people can hear that you get your chin
closer to that fella and you've been jangling that around
And what's the phrase you've been saying?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I forget it now, but there's been I believe I
was saying jingle mingle jingle in the jungle bum rushed
all three fours in the bundle as what I was saying.
But yeah, it's it's it's a it's a something I
bought when I was over in Munich. It's a it's
a chain that wraps around your downstairs almost it sort
of goes from one side of your leader housing to
(16:54):
the other. And I just noticed when I was over there.
I said to Lane because Lane was like, oh, what
one of those? Because in Germany it's all about your
leader housing and leader housing leather pants, yes, if you
don't know what the straps, but it's all about your
additions to the leader housing. So like if you've killed
an animal, you know you put it on your hat.
(17:15):
I've got, for example, a bit of beaver. Did you
kill an animal? All over there?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But I bought that bit of beaver that's stuck on
your hat and there's feathers that they stick out. The
Bavarians they want to show that you've killed animals and stuff. Yeah,
and this chain thing you're attached, but it's a bone
from animals that you've killed and things like that. So
that's what they're all about.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
The way I'll explain it to the every day man
is your daughter who's about fourteen, who wants a pandora
a bracelet, and you buy accessories to put on the
bracelet kind of you know, for the birthday. Is that
type of thing is you've got that wrapped around essentially
your appendage. But the piece that I have an issue
with jury that you've attached on it is what can
only be described as a piece of wood.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And when you combine that piece of wood being jangled
around with that you know, horrific phrase that you spoke earlier.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Jingle mingle jingle in the jungle one rest of all
three fours in the bundle. When you say that, while
you know, dangling around a piece of wood that's attached
to European diage, I just have a few issues with it.
You gotta say that. It's like this, Do you love
the way the Germans have just added lots of bits
on No. I think what we've done is so much better.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
It's like the Bunnings are these Bunnings employees they have
the longer they've been there, the more accomplishments, they get
pins on the apron as well.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So it's kind of ye same vibe. I like that
sort of stuff, do you, Yeah, just additional bits, you know,
why wouldn't you want more bits on you?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Were you a badge guy? Like if you know backman,
you're an awful student. So it's hard to kind of
ask this question, I suppose, But did you have like
badges on your blazers?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Had a few badge in your blazer? Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
They didn't have badges at my school. So at both
the schools one school, I went to their ties, and
so you had like ties. You had an honors tie, Yeah,
you had scholars tie. Sure, you had prefixed tie, or
you had sport sport tie.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah? I had a lorn bowls tie, did you? Yeah,
you're me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I played long bowls for four years at my skill
and I've got four years of service for the Lom
Bowls team and had a long bowls tie.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I even knew you played lawn bowls pants man.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I got to a phase of my life's about thirteen
I realized, I want to get a tires for something
I want to It's not gonna be rugby. It's not
gonna be soccer, it's not gonna be cricket, it's not
gonna be basketball. So pursued a lorn bowl's career. I
got four years set out, played four years. We were
not playing five years actually, and who's we sorry a
few of my good mates. We started as a It
(19:39):
started as a bit of a joke, a bit of
a joke, and then you know it should have stayed
that way, by the way, two days off school a year,
and then you're like, oh, it's kind of worth it
to it, and then you're like, oh, it's actually quite
a fun sport. And then so yeah, five years later
Auckland Loan Bowls Champs as well what Auckland Bows Secondary
Schools lom Bowls Champs, yeat three years in a row.
One of the guys we played with is was at
the Wealth Games few years ago in the New Zealand side.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I was no, I wasn't that. That wasn't that close. People,
Hold on a second. This you've never told me about this,
I must have you know, Oh yeah, I didn't know
you're a lawn bowler. I haven't bowled for a while.
The last time we played was it's a great it's
a great sport, great sport. It is a great sport.
I think more people should do lawn bowls.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
But yeah, it was Yeah, it was one of those
ones where I was like, all right, I'm I'm going
to get a tie somehow, and I took the long
route and uh, you know, you.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Got it And it's a good it's a great like
social sport, great way to meet young ladies. If people
put up now as well.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's funny you say that Jerry is we we myself
and former how did he break for Matt Heath? We
played in a bowls tournament once and there was we
were guided luckily by the lovely young Selena got out
to her name. She's represented Auckland before and bowls and
New Zealand at the Come On Wealth Games. And you're
right what you're saying there is I think it's underrated
the pool of hotties that operates inside the lawn bowl circle.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, totally. It's a good mix sport because you can
have a mix team. Yees. I mean you were playing
with Matt did you guys actually winning something.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah, well, I mean, as I've said before, is I
think you know Selena and I won.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, I've seen heath bowl I mean anything athletic. He's
lucky to get it on the right bias. He bowls
at the BBC, the Balmoral Bowls Club. Yeah. Yeah, and
they got cheap, cheap jugs of beer there as well.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
That's a common reason he's at the BBC, is he Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
A cracker Jack. You've seen the Krackerjack movie. Yeah. A
lot of people got into bowling after that. Oh it's good.
I'm all four bowls. It's man, I love balls, but
you got it into bowls pants man, just because of
the badge. Yeah. Well it sort of started off.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It started off at the day, the one day off
a year, and then sure, then we saw the tie
then and I thought it could turn into something. And
then yeah, one day I went to my granddad's retirement village.
I thought it was quite good. I was about seventeen eighteen.
I was not bad against my peers, and then I
just got absolutely smoked by people. There was old ladies,
ninety years old zimmer frames beating me there. They couldn't
(21:59):
been down and it is crazy how much of a
sort of muscle memory sport it actually is as well.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, it's all feel yeah like it's but how beautiful
is it when you when you really get the feel
of the green, Yeah, and you come onto the forehand
and then you just just release beautifully And it's immediately.
Because I watched Matt release it.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Before Matt Heath and he wobbles it out, it's not
just shocking, it's about halfway down that it finally finds
it's kind of even keel, whereas a really good bowl
just immediately gets it onto the right line.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
It doesn't wobble at all. So satisfying. And then when
it comes around and is here the knock knock knock
as it makes its way into the jack and then
collects the jack. Such a good feeling. I didn't realize
that you were such a bowling yourself, Jerry Well. I
love bowles actually, and I was a member of the
BBC's Plotsombe Bowling Clubs. Oh yeah, that's a good spot. Actually, yeah,
(22:51):
it's around it it's mainly a drinking club. When we
first joined it and Ewan was in charge and we
were the first young people to join it and it
was just a collection about thirty alcoholics that were part
of the club and they were knowing in Auckland bowl
circles as a drinking club that couldn't bowl. And then yeah,
(23:14):
we joined up and a whole lot of people joined.
It was it was super fun. But I went on
a cricket tour once to Australia and we went out
and later on that evening we went back to the
bowls club and we got peered up and I got
a weird kind of a fun tournament and I got
drafted out of a hat to play against the club champ,
(23:38):
the champ of the thing, and he was teaching everyone
how to bowl and all this sort of stuff because
nobody knew, and I had a skinful and just out
of sheer luck, the ball just started. The balls just
really started rolling out of hand. And I took him
to task and he was he was not happy. He
(23:59):
was or did you get there?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
I beat him, Wow, And I beat the I beat
the club the whatever champion was. He was the big
club champ there and he was dark, fair enough, heft.
He was angry and he left and everybody was watching
this final end and I needed like two bowls to
win or something like that, and I rolled a couple in.
(24:22):
I'm so prod and our team were just so stoked him.
I was laughing and maybe twenty.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Jesus they would they didn't like it. It was one
of my proudest moments in front of a decent crowd.
I mean, there's about sixty people watching. If you considered
a rematch, if you thought about the.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Idea of maybe reaching out to him and going, you
know what, let me down to the BBC and let's
kind of hit this out once and for all.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I've got the yips. So the problem is now I
just got the rip. I've got a stiff wrist, and
you need to have just suppled. You need to supple
and the delivery, and I've got this stiff yip wrist.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
It's funny you say that Selena got actually told me
about the wanker's rest.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Is what it known as in the circles? Is that
what it is?
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And well, I don't think it's actually because of that,
you know, I think it's just what they call it
because it's you know, amusing to them. But I have
heard about that, but apparently you can overcome it. So
don't stress too much about the workers rest.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
I definitely have done a lot of masturbations since then,
so I don't know whether it's that or not, or
what it is, but anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah, I mean, I think maybe we should reach out
to the guy. We'll getting down to the BBC C
if you can roll one over.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I don't mean what the club was called to be honest,
it was in Australia. We'll find it mate.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Have you seen the movie Karaka Jack fin Ah? Yes,
I have some Crecker Jack yet that's a that's a
great one. Honestly, I might become a mere of the
Pontsu Balls Club because that would be a good pot
to have a car park as well.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Yeah. Oh, they sold one of their bowling greens and
there's a development that's gone up, but they're still going there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I wonder if Evan's still there. He was you and
or Evan? Uh well, even the ewan ewan ewan.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Reach out three for three. Maybe we should think this
the podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
We should maybe think about playing bowls as a as
a threesome.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I love that. I think I got to love that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
One of my friends played in the Club Champs at
Ponsonby and decided that it would be good idea. I
believe the first person ever to take kidtamine in bowl
And he said he was like he was bowling down
a really steep hill.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
But he beat this car.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Went through, No, he went through, Jeremy well, he went
through to the second round.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
He beat this guy through to the second round.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
He was snorty and the toilets going out like you'd
take a bit of a break from it going oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So he'd kind of just top up. Ye when is
the right?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
He said, it's really hard, he said, it just makes
it so difficult. It's real sort of roll the thing
down and just hope.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It's really difficult. Half the time, didn't know whether you're
going upheld down? How which fair enough? Going on? Is?
It made it really confusing. But anyway, he beat this
guy I can't think of just living a few double
whiskeys and he lost the next round. How did you
go on that tournament? But I reckon he's the only
person ever to play in a bowls tournament on kidding,
(27:18):
I don't think there's like a proper it was a
proper tournaments and everything. I don't think anyone's ever done
that well maybe we should try that.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know. I don't know, doesn't I don't say it. Yeah,
I think it's any good for that. I prefer to
be in, you know, quite a sober state when I'm bowling,
because I kind of you know, it's a it's quite
a serious thing for me.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, a couple of not a or a few big bots.
You want to have a few big bots.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well you just went from the serious thing to a
couple of big bots pantsman.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I also did say that we're gonna have a sober
week in this weekend as well.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Look at us here sipping on the Arison's Hazy pale
Ale at Ponsonby Bowling Club. The one rule that Ewan said,
what was it? Even beers in the glass, stay away
from the cubicles. Yeah, you're not allowed. You weren't, he said,
Like you're allowed to smoke on the greens, there was
no problem with that, but you weren't allowed to deliver
(28:11):
a bowl and have a drink in your hand at
the same time because it was dangerous because you might
slip over and land on the glass. For yourself, your
health and safety. You so you're allowed to drink at
the other end, you know, if you were encouraged.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
But you weren't allowed to bowl with a glass in
your hand, well fair enough.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
You know, there's got to be a bit of etiquette
in the ground. Yeah, he was really he goes this
was he was really really focused on that one role.
I kind of admire it.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Just be fast and loose, but when it comes to it,
you know, yeah, it's actually make sure we are playing
by the rules yet.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, so who was your team? If you don't mind
me asking, the old dicko in there was the old
Dicko playing? No, I don't think the old Dicko was.
I think the old just had a couple of kids.
The campaigner, the old campaigner was there. Yeah there, Boris
was there, the old campaign Borie was there. Was he? Yeah, nude,
he was nude. He was into it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I missed a call from Borrie bloys Ago. I haven't
got back to him, and that has just reminded me
that I've got to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Givehim a call back. Any Yeah, but it was. It
was a good time. And then for those of those
there were five dollars jugs, So you take twenty bucks
on and you walk out of there absolutely steamed.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yeah, what were you drinking dB Draft, I'd say draft.
My dad used to play at the Okahube Bowls Club.
I was about seven to ten at there, or maybe
nine to eleven somewhere around that age.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
He would go. He'd go there on a Saturday.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I just I'd ended up staying there for about five
hours just watching Bill play bowls and then nightly. That's
how I got into it, because he would just get
so hooked and the old Sex dollar jugs whatever they were,
And yeah, he's for that. He's for the longest time.
He's always said, we've got to keep back down. We've
got to go join a bowls club. It's the greatest.
That's a good bowls club. Well, it's not a thing.
It's nothing now, it's just literally it's still sitting there.
(29:50):
It's by the Grammar Tech Teachers Easton Run Club and
it's literally just sitting there overgrown. Yeah, it's just an
overgrown grass. At the moment, that was a beautiful I
remember that. It's by the car park, yes, yeah, I
remember people bowling.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
There's no one doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
It also feels like there's probably a lot of unused
land from bowling greens that just get overgrown.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Them. Well, that was why Ponsonbe was such a wealthy
club because it had all this saying real estate. It
had the greens had a sea view. They were sitting
right on Jis looks out down over the it's so expensive.
Is it's still there? Yeah, still there with the same
views and stuff. Yeah, but they've sold her. I think
they may have sold either one or two. They used
(30:33):
to have three greens, and they've either sold two or
one of their greens. And there's a giant apartment building
now that's there. But yeah, I think the drinkers got
together and said, let's just let's sell one of these
things and let's just split it between us. Enough, there
were hardly any members. It was like twenty members. I
actually was went there once with your lovely girlfriend fin

do as well, so I mean I feel like she's
doing right. But now on the bowling grain on the

day of Cobey's Bowl Club. So I was sort of

you know she yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Yeah, she was better after you did, she was.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, Well it was just sort of easier for
the remainder of the afternoon if we just sort of
did the phantom thing for both of every bowl. So
it was a bit of a tandem effort, but we
got there.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I could just see you because you're such a big man,
you know, you're such a hulk of her man over
the top of Laurence. She's not a big girl, you know,
