Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Of cherry up, never get a lemon, Yeah down.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
We're backing from six sel nine.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
On a dark welcome log to the hidache Breakfast Whinnsday,
the twenty ninth of October twenty twenty five minutes Jeremy
Wells and if I'm not corrected, nice Stewart, you look
like there's less of you that's turned up into the
studio this morning.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
I think the shocking part is that I came back again.
I yeah, couple, because we waived me yesterday. And I
think it shocked no one. That was the heaviest weight
in the history of the Big Browns live now for
quite some time. But we knew that two weeks in
the States is always going to pile a pack. God,
imagine living there for a couple of years. Well you
see why the country they'd never get you back out again,

(00:45):
never get you back out. But yeah, back into the
one o sixers this morning. So then we got sout
but a fluid retention and getting flushed out. I think
we're just gonna lock in for the thing is I've
left myself. The hardest part of the year to try
and really shed these last few keynes, because you know,
we're a couple of weeks away from a couple of
emails starting to go around, Christmas dues coming up, and

(01:07):
then you've got your partners this one, that one, and
so it's gonna be tough, but you know what we'll
get there when you're this is that was gonna go.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Plus you've got trigger treating on Friday night as well,
going around with a bag.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Of course I'll be going around.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
With a bag, or you might have lost a little
bit more weight, might even need some lollies as well.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Welcome along. Nice to have you with us. I'm hard
achey breakfast this morning.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
Lot's coming up Jerry and Mini the hot Achy breakfast.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Something that I picked up in my travels and I
swear I'll stop talking about the trip at some point,
but something I did pick up when we were in
Austin was we went on one of those hop on,
hop off bus tour situations. You know, whenever you go
to a new town or whatever, you never think to
do it. You're like, that's for boomer tourists and stuff.
I'm not going to do that. It's worth doing because
you managed to get your bearings on where everything is,

(01:58):
and then for the rest of your trip, you know
that suburb's over there. Should we go check this museum out?
This one looked a little bit shit, We probably won't
go there, blah blah blah. So I did that when
we got to Nashville, and they told me the story
of how spicy fried chicken or hot fried chicken as
they call it, was invented over there by a guy
by the name of Prince. Not that one, Prince, not

(02:19):
that one, I think, a different prince. Evidently quite a
common name over there, Prince to care your kid.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Prince.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
There's a bloke by the name of Prince, and he
not that one, way before that one. Actually, And what
here are we talking here? Ah ah no, I think
early nineteen hundred. He he he was in a marriage.

(02:46):
He was married, He had a wife, her children, and
one day he stepped out on his marriage. He went
and cheated on his wife in Nashville and small enough
town at that time that everyone knew about it. And
so he got home and his wife knew about it.
They talked about it and he said, look, I'm so
sorry about this. Whatever. She said, Look, we'll get through this.

(03:07):
It's going to be rough, but you know, stucking by. Yeah,
we're going to figure it out. So they got to
bed that night. Next next night, she goes, hey, I'm
feeling a bit better. Let me make has dinner. We
have dinner tonight, sweet airs, what are you gonna make?
I'm gonna make us some fried chicken. He goes, all right.
She goes into the cupboard and pulls out every single
spice she has in an attempt to kill him with

(03:27):
the chick. Oh my god. She just pours it all
into the better for the fried chicken. Everything she can find,
all the cayne, pepper, the spices, everything she can find.
She chucks it and cooks it up, serves it to
him and an attempt to kill him like that mushroom lady.
He eats it and he goes, oh my god, this
is the best. This is the best fried chicken in

(03:48):
the head of my life. And then in a true
show of like American spirit, he then franchises that reason
why and to Princess Fried Chicken, which is found all
throughout the South the mirror.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Wow, So, I mean, is there any every single thing
in the States. It's so classic and has a crazy story,
and it's always starts with something terrible. Yes, it's always
bad or tries to kill someone, and then they turn
it into something good, and then they turn it into
massive financial profit. It's kind of the Disney way, you know.

(04:21):
I mean even you go to Disneyland and you go
on a ride and the ride has a story. Yeah,
and it starts somewhere and then the ride and then
it goes bad, everything goes real bad, and then it
comes good again in the end.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, wasn't Pirates of the Caravan a ride at Disney first?
And then they made a movie franchise out of it? Yeah? Yeah,
It's like, yeah, any story that you read about there's
a big American companies, Nike, you know that guy felt
not he was just selling shoes out of the boot
of his car, and then it just rags the riches.
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's everything in America has to have a story, and
there's such good storytellers. That's the other part about it.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
It's probably all live. Probably story that you hear over there.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Is yeah, possibly as an absolute crop.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
But I'm thinking as.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Well, like, because it took me ages to work out,
I was like, why are these Disney rides so good.
I was like, I can't work it out. And last
time I went to Disneyland, I was on the Cars ride,
which is a new ride, right, and it starts off
and it's like, right, we're getting ready for a race,
and everything's really optimistic, and then you're racing Aliane. It's
really fun, and then something terrible happens in the right

(05:27):
and what in that situation that's yeah, it's like you
go through this dark part and there's a darkness to it,
and then all of a sudden, and then and then
just when you think things are going to get real bad,
all of a sudden you burst out of the end
and there's this crazy race at the end that you're
part of, and then you win the race.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
And at the end of the and at the end
of the ride with the with the what's it Court, No,
not the Fry Chicken, with.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Indiana the Indiana Jones ride, you're in Indiana Jones, all
going well, and then all of a sudden, at the
end that you're in, this darkness goes bomb and everything
goes dark. And then you see in the end of
Jones sort of hanging a dummy of him hanging in
front of you and he's talking to you and he
goes blah blah blah blah, and the next thing, you know,
behind him as a ball. I mean, I don't want
to ruin this for people, but the ball starts rolling

(06:17):
towards you and you get to run and then all
of a sudden you take off and the balls going
up behind you. It's going to get and then you
fall through the floor and the dent and the dam
and you're out of there. And it's like every single
every single ride they have, it always just it takes
It's an arc, takes you on a journey. Everything hasn't well.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Maybe what we should do is around I know, probably
seven thirty seven forty every day. We should just really
shit the bed with one voice break and then you know,
pull it back towards the end.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I think you're onto something. I think we could do
that easily. I wouldn't even think we'd have to think.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Of you know what a lot of days that happens anyway,
doesn't exactly, So yeah, there you go. If you're looking
for a recipe inspiration tonight, try and put as many
spices into your dinner as possible. You just might come
up with a dels piece of fried chickens.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
I thought you're going to stay try cheating on your misses,
So I thought you were going to say.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
You heard what you want to do there.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Today at seven thirty we're going to talk to Chris
Brandolino from NIEWA, So we'll drag it right down at
that point and then bring it back from the air.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Jerry and Midnight the hold Ikey Breakfast, The history.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Of Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow email.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Will Today is the twenty ninth of October twenty twenty five,
and we're going straight back to the States. Nineteen twenty
nine stock market crash on Wall Street, known as Black Tuesday,
triggers the Great Depression. Throughout the nineteen twenties, okay, the
Roaring twenties, the US economy was booming. Millions of Americans
invested in the stock market, often borrowing money to buy sheares.
Stock prices sword so far beyond companies actual values. The

(07:44):
market lost billions in a single day, wiping our fortunes.
Overnight businesses closed, banks failed, millions lost their life savings.
The crash spread globally. Unemployment the US sword from three
percent to about twenty five percent.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Twenty five unemployment. I mean, and that was everywhere in
the world about twenty five, but it's certainly massive uneployment,
including New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I think the danger is when and I know a
lot of people get rich off this stuff, but trading
shares and stuff gets so confusing. You're buying and selling
stuff that doesn't exist. You're buying something that might exist
in the future or might not.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, the thing that you read, I think it was
second line. There was saying often borrowing money to buy shares. Yeah,
and the same thing happened in nineteen eighty seven in
New Zealand where people were borrowing money to buy shares
and then all of a sudden when things went down,
they had to pay back the money that they borrowed,
plus the posy of anything anymore.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
But then also the interest on the light.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's all bad.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
This is where we lose our way a little bit.
We got a little bit too We get a bit
too ahead of ourselves.

Speaker 8 (08:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Greed is a terrible thing.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
And that's like in two thousand and eight when the
financial bubble burst and it's like everyone's broke. It's like,
but hang on, if I gave you a banana, and
then you gave Ruda a banana, and you know the
banana's kind of all where did the bananas go?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah? Well, and that one as well. That nineteen thirty
is a depression which that kicked off. It lasted until
World War two thirty nine, nine years of recession and.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Then in a long time and then into a war.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Good Times.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Nineteen ninety five, Forgotten Silver film hoax screened filmmakers Peter
Jackson and Costa Botez documentary about Colin Mackenzie, the lost
hero of early New Zealand movie making, screened in the
Montana Sunday Theater slot on TV one. It was back
by an interview on the Listener in which Jackson explained
how he had discovered his neighbor's late husband's collection of
thirty five millimeter reels. The myth of Colin Mackenzie took

(09:27):
viewers by storm. Hundreds of people wrote letters excited about
the discovery of these early film gems.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
That was brilliant.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I don't remember this, but when Forgotten Silver was exposed
as a hoax the following day, the reactions varied from
amused to distressed.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
I'm astonished that you would screen this on TV can
do nothing but harm a real negative impact.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
I am so angry.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
I'll never watch another documentary again without thinking is this serious?
For heaven's sake, you even did an article on this
bloke in the listener?

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Are you all children?

Speaker 9 (09:58):
I feel cheated TV and Z it has not made
any friends for themselves screening this.

Speaker 10 (10:04):
Well, well wankers you turned out to be.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
You're playing with people's pride.

Speaker 11 (10:09):
Man.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
I think it is bloody disgusting that TV and Z
could show this appalling the sceptive program. I want to
come around and put a brick through your window.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
It was brilliant because it played on a It was
brilliantly made.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
So what was it was just a hoax?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
It was a test documentary and nobody explained that that
was the case. And it had a guy, Colin McKenzie
who was the first filmmaker in New Zealand, and he
filmed all of these things included and it was said
that it was forgotten officide had been lost until now
all the film and Peter Jackson, who's own film NERD
so the idea was that he had discovered it and
so he was featured in the documentary talking about it.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
And there were things.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Like Colin McKenzie filmed some of Richard Pearce's first flight
and so they faked that.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Which was two weeks earlier than the right brothers, So
haven't you well.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
That's the thing, and they timed it out and they
they showed how it was. It was proof that he
had flown first. So it appealed to all of these
New Zealand leaders that were the first to do a
lot of things.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Yeah, from tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
So it was, it was. It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
It was beautifully mate.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I love that. Those are the kinds of complaints that
Hodaki or the a SEC get whenever we leak into
the mainstream media and everyone just use the player's correct names.
Would you Okay? That exists? You can go and find that.
Twenty fifteen, China announces the end of its one child
policy after thirty five years. It was replaced worth get

(11:34):
this a two child policies. This marked a major shift
in China's concerns about the country's aging population and shrinking workforce.
There was also a gender imbalance, with millions more men
than women due to a preference for suns. The one
child policy was introduced in seventy nine, aiming to slow
population growth why and reduce pressure on resources? That's why
such as food housing angels asked the question China's population

(12:00):
slow dramatically, preventing an estimated four hundred million births, and
twenty twenty one, China even went further, introducing a three
child policy and later removing all birth limits entirely.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, they didn't know that that such, and I think
in the seventies it was a concern that we were
going to overpopulate the world. And now we've realized that
that's actually a problem if we underpopulate the world, so
population decline years worse than population growth.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, but how are you to know? We want to
know that well, and now we do. So the China's
total population one point four billion, Yeah, is the best
guess we've got. So if you say that there's a
billion people in China, you are discounting four hundred million people,
which is more than the population of the States. Wow,
that's how many people are there.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Imagine running the census over there, Oh.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
To Bennment, I mean, how do they know that it's
one point for I don't They've got no one because
they'd be remote towns. I mean you try and count,
you know, heads that are You're taking your kids on
a basketball tournament. You try and count all the heads there.
There's no chance they could be out in.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
The guestimation by up to one hundred million million AE
hundred million.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's ridiculous. Born on this day. We're not a writer.
She is fifty four today, actress known for Beetle Juice,
Edward Scissorhands, Stranger Things, and Girl Uninterrupted. Randy Jackson Dog
He is sixty nine today, Nice American musician and TV personality,
longtime American idol judge and bassist for bassist for Journey.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
He used to play bass used for Journey. Yeah man,
Steve Perry just a smartdown girl. Boom boom.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
When we saw tea pain so yeah, teeth Payne got
right into it.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
That is the history of yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. It's similary
for Wednesday, the twenty ninth of October twenty and twenty five.
There has been Floyd on Radio Headache.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Jerry and Midnight The Hodarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I don't even know where to wait for that guy
to stop yelling. When what do you reckon?

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Well, they've just not thought about commercial radio on twenty
twenty five when they were writing that song. Funny for
Pink Floyd not to do that. This is why they've
fallen off, you know, because they just don't understand the
game and how it works. Radio is powerful, man.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, but we're all part of the wall. This is
the whole thing. This is the problem. We are totally
a brick in the wall.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
All in all. We are just all bricks at.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
The wall, aren't we. Well, particularly radio is a bricket.
I mean it is the wall. But they're smashing that
thing down. Yeah. Have they seen footage of seen footage
of Pink Floyd's wall concerts where they had a wall
and they would build the wall and they would play
behind the wall as they built it, so they would
just have added and then part of the show they
would knock the wall down menofolm and then they would

(14:37):
play and then everyone be like, yeah, there they are.
It's actually very clever.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, they're still doing that now. They're still building the wall,
aren't they touring? H Yeah, they're still be in the wall.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
You did a you did a bloody on it school,
you got you've got excellence for it? Are you a
mirror plus no excellence.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Don't you should change her?

Speaker 8 (15:00):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Have you got your marks back from your from your
radio thing in?

Speaker 1 (15:04):
What did you get? You've got excellence?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (15:07):
No, but she got good enough that she passed.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
You're good enough to pass skip decreased. Actually, while we're
picking on Zoe through the glass there, how's the mood Zoe?
She's got the mood ring on that I look back from.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
It's good, it's bad.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I think it's a dark blow. I think it's it's
on the middle finger.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
That was I said, what kind of murder're that's coming up?
After the sixth and eighty Sport headlines will let you
know how you can get a different kind of ring
and eight thousand dollars diamond engagement.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Maybe not as good as that one that you gave Zoe, No,
but might improve your partner's mood a little bit more
than it's improved Zoe's. Yeah, we've got.

Speaker 6 (15:44):
Jerry and the Hotiarchy breakfast.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Time for the latest sport headlines thanks to expert l
to the beer for here Neble, New Zealand boss Jenny
Wiley is refusing to attribute blame for the Dame Noline
Toto silver fans coaching Saga might be her fault man
the world.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
You know, whenever you are someone and they're like, look,
I don't think we need to be pointing figs because
you want.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
To world couple in coach has been reinstated after getting
stood down last month for undisclosed issues raised by players.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
And then they're like, oh, the players want to back.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I don't know what's going on here. I'll be talking
to a lawyer if I was Dame Nolan Tata. A
foot injury has ruled Tonga center Robert Toya out of
Sunday Specific Championship League test against the Keys of Eating
Park Bobby.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
T He was the one of the youngest State of
Origin debutts. They've been going good Tongue too. I just
think the Keys are going to be too good this weekend.
Tonge of paying three ten. Yeah, New Zealand dollar thirty six.
I think on a per flag basis, they're probably better
than us. Or are they worse because there's way more flags?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah? They were.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
That was Have either of you guys got any idea
why their team is listed as the Tongue of thirteen,
never just listed as Tonga.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
I don't know. I don't know. I know that they've
had administrative issues in tong of before, so maybe that
distancing themselves from the official governing body. What I do
know is that they had one of the most outrageous
training kits the other day. Did you see this? They
were training in Gucci inspired shirts and shorts. Do you
remember when aed and Fanua Blake went to the dali

(17:18):
Ms in like a Gucci gold shirt. Yes, that is
what they were basically wearing to train the other day, right,
And that's yeah, that's a huge, huge omen for.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Their stylish people. Tongans and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Freddy
Freeman has ended a six and a half hour due
with a walk off home run in Baseball's World Series.
I watched this yesterday, taking them to a two to
one series lead over the Blue Jays. The game went
to a record equaling eighteenth and oh my god, Fourth
Focus starts at one pm today, giving the.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Players twelve hours away from the ballpark. You'd want to
just sleep the whole time when.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
You're wow, it was amazing. It just went on and
on and the pressure builds. Eighteen and for people who
don't watch baseball so normally it's nine innings. But if
there's a if there's a tie at the.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
End, they just keep going. They just keep going sudden death.
The funny thing about that is that we're like, oh
my god, a six and a half hour the black
Caps are about to play for eight hours this accident.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah, so they know they're going to play for eight hours.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
I mean normally, what are they turn two and a
half hours of baseball game? They can be Yeah, it
was crazy, and they were going through like by the
time you get to eighteen innings, you're just you're basically
running out of pitches. Yeah, because I've used your bullpen.
You're not expecting that it's going to keep going.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
They don't pitch the whole games, are they No? No,
they no, Wait, they get exhausted. Yeah, but you can
win a baseball game pretty much in the ninth innings,
no matter what the score is. Right, Yes, that's an
amazing theoretically that the Americans have always set the sports
up that way. We don't. All of our sports are
like this could be over by the half.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
No, and the home team, this is the other thing.
The home team always a bat second? Was that right? Yeah? No, toss.
So in that situation, the home team can always win
the game. In the last out of the games, you
can still even if your ten runs down with two outs,
that batter can hit a home run and then the

(19:11):
next guy can come in at a home run and
you can keep going and going, going, going, going until
you win the game.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
Should we do that at cricket Home team bat second?
I think there's something in that.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I actually think they've discussed this before about the home team.
Now the home team that the away team gets to
choose the top Yeah, and it means that you can't
doctor the pitch.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
Nah, You've got to produce a pretty even pitch because
they're going to be able to do whatever they want. Yeah,
although they won't had a look at it up.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Next, I want to share an incident of road rage
and involved myself a couple of days ago coming back
from Perdletown.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Jerry and Mini the hod Ikey breakfast.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
As you guys know, I'm a father too. I've got
a fifteen year old daughter thirteen year old son, and
I like to kind of go with an idea of
parenting where I don't really tell my kids what to
do so much trying to lead by example, try and
show them what to do.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Oh, it's an interesting way to phrase being an absentee
father Jerry.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
But it's all I can do, all right, it's all
I can do. But I want to run you by
a situation. I felt like I broke. I broke one
of my rolls on the way back from from Poodletown
on the weekend and some heavy traffic.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
It was the timing.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Normally to get to Caramana from what comes around about
two hours takes about two hours in the weekend, terrible
traffic and it started to heave down with the rain.
The Herald was focused very much on with the warnings
that basically it was going to rain.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
It was going to write it's going to run. Look out,
it's gonna rain. Look out everyone, it's going to rain.
Do you use as a journalist if you work at
the Herald, if there's any lift, just look out the window,
see a cloud and go yeah, let's make for that day.
There was so many stories on it. It was like
watch out for the shark, sightings over something that's coming.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
So I'm cruising back and it's quite heavy traffic and
there's a bit on the road and people who drive
this road will know exactly. It's I think it's mungataphity,
and it's where there's a passing lane and it's a
new piece of road, right, and they have in the
past coned off the passing lane because what happens is
some people who don't know it's heavy traffic, right, it's

(21:21):
holiday traffic, man, And there's some dudes that decide that
they're just going to overtake heaps of people in the
passing lane right, and then of course they have to
merge back at a point, and then it becomes a
neck and then they wait to get back into life.
It's a really annoying move. And I see it happen
every time. And they, as I said, they used to
cone it off, and that just stopped people from being

(21:42):
tempted to try and cut the q X ten cars.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
Someone drives me insane as well, because it's like, what
you think you're the only guy who's figured that out, Like,
we were all sitting here, We didn't think to do it.
It's all on the line, Yeah, we all thought to
do it. We just thought that's a real dickhead move
to do. Someone that is listening to the sound of
my voice right now is thinking about doing it year.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
In traffic right now, don't do it. No, it's in
this particular situation. It's clear that the traffic's bad and
you just got to wait. You know, it's okay anyway,
I'm waiting and the you know, basically where we've come
to a standstill in the in the inside passing and
the outside one's clear because you know, everyone knows that

(22:22):
there's this is we're all waiting and we're all just
going to move through. And then this like land Rover Discovery,
of course steams through. Of course I saw it steam.
I thought to myself, I wonder if there's going to
be any a hole who's going to try and overtake.
When I'm talking about a cure tracker, I'm talking about
maybe five hundred meters of cars and maybe six hundred
meters stopped dead.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Oh pretty much, well, just moving real slow, moving slow.
It's such a speed that it will be annoying if
you're in a manual. And I thought, is anyone gonna
is anyone gonna try?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
So I'm watching my rear view mirror thinking, and then
I just see the silver land Rover Discovery just steaming
up at about one hundred ks now on the on
the on the inside, when it's about tur undred meters back,
I'm thinking, do I pull out sign just slightly in
the lane?

Speaker 4 (23:06):
And then I'm like, oh, block the lane.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
And then I just thought, you know what, I'm just
gonna wind my window down and just pull a finger
at the sky as they come past. And and I
wound down the window and then I just did the finger.
And then I I was with my thirteen year old
son and he goes, what are you doing? What are
you doing? And I thought to myself, what am I doing?
What am I trying to teach? What am I what's

(23:30):
happening here a the land road? Probably don't even see me?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
No, be why am I? What am I doing?

Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's not this is making me feel better. It's not
even making me feel better. It's making it look like
I'm a deckhead. To my son, I was like, what's
actually going on?

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Not only people that saw you were your own kids.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Oh stupid?

Speaker 4 (23:47):
And then like, whoever was behind you in the key
of traffic. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
The only thing, the only thing that sort of made
me feel slightly better was as I looked ahead, I
saw every other car up and the thing stopped, and
so they wouldn't open a gap for yeah and solid
until it was on the other side of the road,
and then potentially that I see one car went ik, I'll.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Let you in now, yeah, or you're gonna cause a
head on here. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
But but I think ZTA they should go back to
that thing where they cone it back off again because
it's it's actually makes you feel bad about being in
New Zealander. Yeah, it makes you feel like a deck
we're awful.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Drivers just in our in our lane etiquette. If there's
like a four way four lane motorway, someone will be
sitting in the top lane, which is for overtaking, Yeah,
and they'll just be doing like eighty and one hundred
k motorway. Yeah. You don't just get to pick whatever
lane you want and just sit there and whatever speed
you want, the faster you're going, the higher up the
motorway you should be.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, there's someone that's texting and say you're both using
your caveman brain. Good on your Jerry, keep up the
good work, keep using your cave mean brain.

Speaker 12 (24:47):
Jerry and Midnight the Hold, Ikey Breakfast Jerry and Midnight
The Hold Ikey breakfast.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
So I was having on my apps yesterday on my
news apps, and something came through which I thought was
very interesting. It was from the Poukaha National Wildlife Center
near Masterton, and it was a talking toy called Prince
to we Teka, and he can say some quite interesting things.

(25:16):
He says hello, he says hello baby, he says who's this?
And he says what's that? Here's the audio now saying
who said that? So that's Prince to Teka And to
tell us more is Pookaha National Wildlife Send a senior

(25:39):
conservation ranger taraswand good a, Tara, thanks for your time morning.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
How are you going good?

Speaker 4 (25:45):
When did you find out that Prince toy Teka could talk?

Speaker 3 (25:50):
You know, it was a few weeks after he arrived.
So he came to us from a different facility and
we were walking around as avery, just doing the breakfast round,
and he said that he who said that. We're turning
around going who's in here?

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Was it curifying?

Speaker 2 (26:05):
No?

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Clear?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
It wasn't initially say we didn't realize you could speak
so clearly, but it's always mumbled enough that it makes
you go.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
So, so what else? What else can he say, Tara.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
He says hello so perfectly and so clear. Obviously, who's this?
What's going on? And my all time favorite is when
he throws in the odd little squear word that definitely
makes you stop and think, So, is this just a.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Case of him making noises that sound like he's saying
something to us? Or can he actually mimic things that
we are saying?

Speaker 3 (26:40):
And so he can mimic yeh. So he's obviously heard
it enough times as he was growing up that he thought, yeah,
this is an awesome thing to say.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
I had no idea that you could do that. Is
that a common thing?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, normally it's not quite words. Normally you hear the
mimic you know the phone or you know your text
alert or your car arm. That seems to be a
favorite one of our locals. So yeah, it sounds cool, though,
I'll mimic it.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Is there any temptation, Tara, to start teaching at things
on purpose just to mess with the other people that
work with you.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
It has been tempting, definitely. We used to have a
cor coaco that would wolf whistle at people, but you
wait just as you'd walk past, So I think that
would be quite amusing.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
So Tara weird that Prince Tutika come from.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
So he actually came from Hamilton. So he was a
rescue case as a juvenile. I believe he couldn't fly
or something, so he was taken in and basically rehabilitated,
but couldn't be released. So he had a lung issue
which meant he could fly, but not very well. So
the decision was made to keep him as an advocacy bed.

(27:48):
So yeah, he came to Pookaha to basically teach people
about Towey and he's doing exactly that, which is great.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
I've learned so much about toy just this morning. I mean,
this could potentially be animal abuse. But could you conceivably
play something like sandstorm to him to the point where
he could pare it it back?

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:06):
You could?

Speaker 3 (28:08):
Okay, hang on Leabe ranger abuse as well.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
All day we're talking to Tara Swaan, who looks after
Prince toy Teka at the Pukah National Wildlife.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Center in Masterton.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I imagine that a talking toy like Prince toy Teka,
Tara is going to be a massive draw card.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Oh I hope so I really do so. Yeah, Pookah
has been through a wee bit of a tough time
at the moment, so to Yeah, have a bird that
people want to come and see. He comes right down
to you. So if you're keen on getting your photos
in your videos, yeah, he'll come and sing for you.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Tara with the last name like Swan was working with
birds sort of determined for you.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Yep, always meant to be.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
No choice.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, Tara, thank you so much for your time and
and you know, I look forward to seeing more about
Prince toy Teka.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Awesome. Thank you keeping on our Facebook and I'll put
more up on him up.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Thanks very much, Tara. That's Taraspond.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
She looks after Prince to Teka the Bukhar National Wildlife
Center and Master.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
I could not think of anything more terrifying than just
walking around and having one of the animals in the enclosed.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
Jerry and the Darky Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Was talking about Prince tooy Teka, the talking toy Masterton
great name for it, one of the great names. And
this is what this is what Prince tooey Teka sounds like.

Speaker 5 (29:40):
So apparently they've got two voice boxes, which is why
they can do two completely different sounds at the same time.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
It's the same noise that when they go. So he's
got on on the one hand, a beautiful, beautiful bird
song and then Barry Crump on the other one.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, but it's not the only talking to you that
I've I've come across another one up in the fung
and a bird recovery center a few years ago when
I was doing a show called bird Land, and this
guy called Robert who looks after a whole lot of
injured birds and stuff. He's an amazing guy. Actually, it's
a charity that's run up and finger and he's got
a head we called Wolf Wolf and Wolf Woff Wolff

(30:17):
was possibly even better than Prince to Reteca. Wolff Sits
pretty crazy stuff here. Compare Prince totecka who you heard
before and have listened to, have listened to what Wolff
can say, Come up here quick.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
He was about two years old. Robert on Sunday afternoon
and all of a sudden said hello Wolf, And I
looked around on what the heck was that? And then
I did it again. I realized it was him talking, and.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Very crystal.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
You'll hear him say to people if they looking at
and you'll hear him say come up here quick, come
up here quick.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Oh I hate that?

Speaker 5 (31:01):
How good is that sounds?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Just like I just would not have an animal in
my house that was saying come up here quick? Also,
what is his own? Who's his owner? Saying that?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
He says something else I thought. I'm pretty sure I
can't remember, but I'm pretty.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
Sure he was grab a bag of smoke to say
some quite funny stuff. How much would you love it
as a parent to teach this bird to get get
up your kids and then just throw it into your
kids room every morning again you get out of me
and your kids.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Apparently the way it used to work because because obviously
might have for even known that too, we can talk,
and they were prized so like a talking to he
was was was like really sought after. And the theory
was that it was ancestors speaking through through the bird,
and so yeah, they were they were. They were kept
as as trophies and yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Well I can see where this is going, and it's
only going in one direction. We need to get ourselves
a show too and park it up. And the thing
the only thing is after about a week in here
with the big show, to just be yelling backbone, back.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
My wad, Jerry and Mani The hold Ikey Breakfast. Jerry
and Mini The hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
So the last week we've had pretty severe weather. We've
had some snow down on the South Island. There's been wind,
there's been rain, it's been all sorts. It's been all
over the shop. So the question is are we going
to get a summer?

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Is it going to arrive? Because crickets already started, So
how come summer doesn't know about it? Is that the
end of the snow? I think so.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Chris Brandolino from Nia joins us, surely that's the end.
We just had a text that came in and said,
my role is generally Labor Day as the mark for
the last of the window storm cycles.

Speaker 13 (32:57):
Yeah generally. Yes, that's generally a good metric, but not
a flawless one. But yeah, that's a good metric.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Okay, what is going with that? Because I feel like
I've saying before, I've I've got friends wo are telling
me over the weekend that they've never seen snow over
the Labor weekend. But I feel like that's not necessarily true.
As as the weather we're having at the moment that
out of the out of the usual.

Speaker 13 (33:21):
Oh yes, I mean we're talking about it right, So
I think that's one way of sort of like understanding
like how unusual is something like when it starts making
it into more of a mainstream media and people are
talking about it than I think that that's you know,
the kind of the kind of illustrates and articulates the unusual.
Miss boat. So it is unusual, but not completely unheard of.

(33:45):
They have cold snaps snow this late in October that
is pretty darn and usual. I don't know if I
call it ultra rare, but I would say and haven't look,
I haven't looked at any history and and done and
done the research and investigation, but look hard pressed to
find snow falling to the levels like yesterday. You know,
if you go back twenty thirty forty years, it may

(34:06):
have happened only a handful of times.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
If that Chris Brandolino doesn't that way that come from
the Indian and Southern Ocean.

Speaker 13 (34:15):
Comes from both. So you know, when we actually today,
I'm going to be looking and working on our one
month outlook, and later this week we're going to be
updating our long range outlook three months. So once a
month we say, right, here are the expected themes for
the next three months. And when we're doing that, we're
trying to identify what the drivers are. Basically, a driver

(34:38):
is think of it like who's at the steering wheel
of Mother Nature's car. So if you can identify the
climate drivers what will be influencing the weather, then you
have a pretty good idea how the day to day
weather will be. And for the past month or two,
what that climate driver has been is that sudden stratospheric
warming event that we talked about last time, where the

(34:59):
temper at the very top of the atmosphere over the
Antarctic continent that warms really fast in the short period
of time, and as a consequence, that had flowing effects
which pushed typically stormy weather over the continent of Antarctica
farther north into the Southern Ocean, and that has resulted
in these risk really strong episodes of westerly winds at

(35:22):
times when those lows over the Southern Ocean get closer
to us than we get really gnarly with the weather.
We see the cold temperatures in snow like the past
couple of days, but that's going to change. We're going
to see this pivot, this transition from the climate driver
coming from the south to eventually the tropical north, and
that is Latinina. And that will that transition, that pivot

(35:44):
is expected to happen over the next couple of weeks.
Won't happen smooth and seamlessly, but it will happen.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
So what is the Latininia mean? Does that mean more
rain Lisain?

Speaker 13 (35:54):
Depends on where you are, so I can tell you
just looking at the kind of the next four to
five weeks, the areas that have been getting unusually wet,
i e. The Western South Island, the lower in Western
South Island, even to an extep parts of the North Island,
they're going to get dry. So the reason the rainfall
patterns are going to change is because our airflow patterns

(36:16):
are going to change. So how the wind blows in
which direction that comes from. You know obviously that affects
temperatures if you get southerlies or cold norther leistan warm
at a very simple level, but that also dictates where
does the rain sort of favor and where does it fall.
And so what we're going to see is northern and
eastern areas of the North Island, they're going to see
an increase in chances for rainfall events. Going back to

(36:38):
your question of La Nina, it's the western and southern
parts of both islands, in particular the South Island, that
western and southern part, interior part where they're going to
have a dry lean. I think starting from about the
second week in November, maybe even the first week of November,
we're going to see the sting transition to less westerlies.
Doesn't mean zero, it just means less and therefore change

(37:00):
in the rainfall patterns. We're also likely over the coming weeks,
likely to see more in the way of persistent warmth
for the country. That may take some time for the
South Island, but generally speaking, I do think we'll be
on this trajectory, this direction of travel, where we're going
to see usually warm temperatures outweigh and usually cool temperatures
at once we get past this cold snap that's currently

(37:22):
sort of exiting stage right.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Chris Brendolina from Neewa.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Do you put your predictions up on a wall at
Newa on a whiteboard and then do you get mocked
out of teen for the year, or does it just
forget once it actually happens.

Speaker 13 (37:37):
Well, we keep track of these things, man, We definitely
keep track. So when we're when we're making these long
range outlooks for the next you know, a couple of months,
two three months, there's three outcomes because it's a three
sided corn because we're saying, look, temperatures are rainfall either
going to be one of three categories above near but normal,
or below normal. So that's above normal, near normal, or

(37:58):
below normal. So there's three three categories. And basically, if
you had no guidance, like if you took any person
off the street and who said, what's one of those
three outcomes are gonna happen? You have a one out
of three chance, right, So so basically you want to
beat thirty three percent, and we do beat thirty three
percent pretty regularly. The thing is like, if we say
there is let's say a ten percent chance for let's

(38:21):
say above normal ring totally making this up for the
north of the north on let's say there's a ten
percent chance and that actually happens, Well, you say, well,
what happened. You said it was gonna be No, we
said there was a ten percent chance, and all that
means is that one out of ten times you'd expect
that to happen, but you only get one go you
don't get ten goes.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yeah, Chris Braindolena from newak Thanks so much for your time.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
We've written down what you've.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
Seen and we will be macking you out of ten
and about three or four weeks time.

Speaker 13 (38:49):
Look for Hey, summer outlook comes in about a month
from now, so maybe we'll chat then, if not before.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Brilliant Thanks Chris, always good to chat.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
Yep, Jerry and Mini Key Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
How to keey Breakfast Mastermind.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Yesterday's Mastermind topic was Tennessee, but Bryani was the only
ten I could see who called us while reversing, then
got disconnected, but then called back. Could not take on
the price, So today we're back to two hundred dollars
Jack plus fifty dollars every day. We don't have a
win of dizzying heights. This morning and since before seven
we heard about Jerry's road rage incident where he did
the fingers at a land Rover discovery. Today's Mastermind topick

(39:25):
is Roads of National Significance.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
James and Nelson draine Land joins us on the line morning.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
James, Good morning. What's your car that you're driving at
the moment.

Speaker 8 (39:34):
James, Toyota high Lux.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Oh, I've heard of those new.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Wish I'd do the fingers to range Rover drivers as well.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
Yeah, it was a land Rover Discovery.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Oh okay, you know, to be fair, one of those
new ones, you know, the square, kind of weird boxy ones.

Speaker 13 (39:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, looks like it's out of a die
hard movie.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yep, that's exactly what it looks like. Yeah. Now, we
actually used to have a host of the show, James.
I don't know if you remember this, but he once
got a brand new Toyota Highlus had the number plate
personalized number plate Leslie on it, and he went to
drive it out of the car park and forgot how

(40:17):
high the vehicle was and took out the roller door
and caused a lot of problems actually for a lot
of people who needed to get to appointments and all
sorts of stuff.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
It actually brought the Auckland CBD to its knees because
at back traffic up here where people couldn't get in
or out of the parking building, and then that just
clogged up all the way out to the motorways.

Speaker 13 (40:37):
He sounds like an absolute wounder.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Yeah no, he was.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I mean the interesting thing is the highluks absolutely fine.
Roller door still doesn't work properly, still having problems. What's
your favorite sandwich, James.

Speaker 13 (40:49):
Toasted ham and cheese.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, no, I like that toasted He well,
what condiments do you have with that mustard? Oh? Yeah,
now you're talking.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
What I can't abide by is people putting slices of
tomato and a toasted sandwich just not the place.

Speaker 13 (41:05):
It's just dangerous.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
It is well, it is one thermonuclear It will burn
the crap. It just doesn't. It destroys the integrity of
the sandwich as well.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
It doesn't have any flavor. I think you go right there.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Can we do a mastermind?

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Yeah, Jay's forty five seconds, five questions. You've got to
get three correct. You can pass at any time. Let's
get into it, okay. Roads of national significance. The ho
Chiman Road mainly runs through what country, Vietnam?

Speaker 4 (41:34):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
State Highway forty five, also called the Surf Highway, runs
between Howard and what city.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
New Plumber correct?

Speaker 1 (41:44):
What American Highway stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles is
known as the main street of America.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
PA.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
The Stuart Highway runs through the middle of what country.
State Highway eighty eight runs from what major New Zealand
city cross No? What American Highway, stretching from Chicago to
Los Angeles is known as the mainStreet in America.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
You would you had two? I thought you were going
to do it. It got away to a great start.

Speaker 8 (42:23):
Yeah, No, it was Route sixty six AH and the
Stuart Highways in Australia and State Highway eighty eight.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
That was a tough one route of Dunedin, Dnida.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Now that was going to be my next GISs of
I guess it was.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Did bloody well, James? He did? Got off to rollick
and start ninjus a bit of a bit ship, but anyway,
good work, James. Thanks for calling in, James, Thanks for playing.
Do you think you can do one better than James?
It's all you need to do. We got two hundred
and fifty dollars to give away tomorrow. My palms are sweeting?
Why are my palm sweating?

Speaker 12 (43:01):
Jerry and Midnight The hold Ikey Breakfast. Jerry and Midnight
The hold Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Jerry A moment of brain fog has resulted in a
flight attendant making a US seventy thousand, which is the
equivalent of one hundred and twenty one thousand New Zealand
dollars mistake on a recent Delta Airlines flight. So it
was an earbass A two twenty.

Speaker 8 (43:22):
You know.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Well, preparing for departure on Saturday from Pittsburgh to Salt
Lake City, the experienced crew member accidentally activated the emergency
slide during the usual take off preparation.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Sh okay. So on the experienced though, how do you
accidentally activate the emergency slide?

Speaker 4 (43:40):
There must be a but in I reckon it was
just like temptation that had gotten the better of it.
Just send they're gone. Once in my career I had
to push that. But but I reckon, that is the
funniest thing that you could do on that plane, because
you're like and the emergency exit's located at the front
and rear.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
Of the.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Then the door goes flying off and there's all of
a sudden abound the castle slide going out from the
plane down to the target.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I imagine that when that happens, you've got there's a
lot of hullabaloo. Because you have to you have to
get the thing off. Then you've got to probably sign
a whole lot of paperwork. Then you probably can't use
the plane because it doesn't have an emergent slide anymore.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Just embark the plane, get off, and if I'm getting off,
I'm going to the ear as they's since we've got
the slide out. Oh, we're going out the going down
the slide. We're going down the slide, going down.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
And then also then you've got to read book a
whole lot of people that missed their connecting flights.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
Who the hell puts emergency slides back into planes? I
imagine they're not jeep.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
You've got to pay to the gate because the airline
has to pay for how long it's on a gate.
They pay for the longer our omni.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
And you're back to the gate. But some other guys
trying to come park his plane there who didn't deploy his.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Lip, so it would have probably been actually in the
two hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Yeah, so one hundred and twenty one thousand dollars. It's
a it's a pretty expensive stuff up. That is more
than the most expense one I've had I years ago
when I was in charge of promos here at radio
Hadaki you Jerry actually went to Memphis. I remember this,
you and Matt Heath you may have, and I actually
received a lot of recommendations of some of the best

(45:14):
toilets to throw up and the Memphis yeah, from your
touring party. Anyway, at that point I had booked maybe
accommodation for you guys, but I had not booked flights.
And at one point I checked my credit card, my
work credit card. There was a twelve thousand dollars charge
from a company called E Dreams, which I had not
booked anything through E Dreams, and so I reported that

(45:34):
like a good boy, reported that straight to finance and
they were like, oh, well, can you do some digging
and get to the bottom of it. And I was like,
I did the promos, dude, you're the fight It's team.
You figure it out. And this went on for a
couple of years of them periodically checking in to go, hey,
have you figured out what happened here? Okay, so what's
the latest on that. Well, I got sacked, but I
am back now. But I am not allowed to have

(45:54):
credit cards. You're seriously not allowed to have credit cards because.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
They're wow, twelve thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Okay, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I had a five thousand dollars broadcasting standards authority fine
for reading out some graffiti at an Ohoney playground.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
So I was read it out on on here.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, I read it out on any media lunch and
it was We went to Ocarney and got really wasted,
and then the next day we had to try and
find some content to make the television show about.

Speaker 4 (46:23):
You woke up and you're like, oh, that's right TV show. God,
Yeah it was.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
So we went to a playground and just started reading
graffiti and really was poor television. And unfortunately the graffiti
that we were reading about it had a name of
a person in it. Now, the whole town when that
show came on, the whole town watched because it was
advertised as you know, show about and so everyone's watching

(46:47):
and including the person who I read the graffiti about.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
Oh, and you read the names. It was a defamation issue.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
It was.

Speaker 9 (46:53):
It was not.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
It was looking back on it, I'm thinking, what the
how was it thinking?

Speaker 4 (46:57):
At the risk of incurring it another casting standards of fans,
what did it say?

Speaker 1 (47:02):
It's said I won't say the person's name. No, Oh,
can I even can I even say incriminate?

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (47:09):
It's said that it said that a certain person shaves
parts of their body that includes there, and that the
term that it used. I want to use the term
because it's when you hear the term you realize why
I read it.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Could you use the term on the podcast?

Speaker 1 (47:26):
I think I can use it. I think I can
use the term. No, I can't.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
It starts with M, it ends with c ork, depending
on how you want to spell it. Oh, okay, Well,
I don't think there's any anyway we've been there's no
shame in it. This is the thing. So yours is
five thousand minus twelve thousand. I also know of a
person who was in charge of serving ads on Facebook

(47:50):
and they forgot to take the just put them in
New Zealand and they've sold fifty thousand dollars worth of
ads in the States. Oh, that's quite intense. So what's
your most expensive work? Stuff up checks from three four
eight three. It takes three days to repack an emergency
slide aircraft engineer, oh Man, Good to know you can
repack them.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
I also lost Philishman's one sport Blazer while I was
working at Loving Care dr Clean as a Massull Street
in Glendarry that I.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Don't know how much that blazer was worth. Carbet price
on that Jerry carpet of price on that it was
at least ten unred and fifty dollars at the time.
Get in touch three four eight three eight hundred duck
your most expensive work.

Speaker 6 (48:23):
Stuff up, Jerry and Mini the hod Ikey Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
I was talking about this flight attendant in the States
who had a moment of brain fog and let the
old slide go, the safety slide, Yeah, the emergency slide go.

Speaker 4 (48:38):
I do wonder if it was just like a temptation thing.
You know, you would have done it it training, you know,
you would have used the ones that had already deployed,
But there'd be that little part of you that's like,
we said.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
This bitch off, Wow, this is a very very it's
a very expensive little curiosity there. Because one hundred and
twenty one thousand dollars. We had actually someone that that
text him that said that they work in aviation and
it takes three days to repack the emergency slide. Yeah,
so that would have cost a huge amount of money
because wouldn't be able to use that plane.

Speaker 4 (49:10):
Well and also yeah, well for sure the lost opportunity,
but also you're going to gouge their eyes out because
who else knows how to pack a bloody emergency slide?
So like where else are you going to go? I'll
charge you whatever I want. Then you're going to get
that right, that repacking, Yeah, that's one that you want
to really nail. It goes parachutes emergency slides totally.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
So we've been asking for your expensive work mistakes eight
hundred HARDACKI we can give us a text three four
eighty three worst work accident cost forty thousand dollars is
this text. I was hung over in the early two
thousands after the sevens, remember that event, and had to
drive a van with the roof filled up with solar
panels from Germany was steel crop and drove into a

(49:49):
parking building and rip them all off forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
I believe we've got that person on the line. Well,
was that you?

Speaker 14 (49:57):
Yeah? Unfortunately, what what happened, Well, it was about a
day after the sevens and we're still carried on and
I had to move the because my work paid for
the trip down from.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Watton and at the same time as the sevens.

Speaker 14 (50:18):
Yeah, yeah, well it was straight after the seven so
it was a bad idea and I had to move
the van from wherever I parked it and rushed it
to get in the morning to get into a parking
building so I could get back from the purse and
ripped all of the roof, of all the solar panels

(50:42):
and about forty grands worth of damage.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
So what happened then, Well, well I.

Speaker 14 (50:50):
Had pretty good bosses back then, and he said, don't worry,
We've got insurance, and I know.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
What a vendor is like, what a forgiving boss.

Speaker 14 (51:03):
Yeah, yeah, didn't let me drive the van for a while.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
But no, that's fair, that's fair. I think that's just
completely fair. It's known as the Leslie Heath what.

Speaker 5 (51:10):
You did, there's precisely that's precisely what meant did.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
Yeah, and I'm told that there was a new incident.
Actually we'll share this with you guys, maybe off here
a little bit later on, but I understand there's a
new carpuck ands and involves.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Leslie Heath, I, Jack HAMMEERDA water pipes. Is this Texter?

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Thanks for your cool well I jack hamda water pipe
top floor of the pines in Mount Eden, which it's
like an apartment building in Mount Eden. It caused millions
in damage.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
This happened to us all where overseas. A pipe burst
two floors above the room were and it leaked through
two floors, destroyed two rooms. Ridiculous. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
I worked for a big American I corporate and once
had a seven point five thousand dollars mobile phone bill
and a month followed by a four point five k
bill the next month. My phone bill was higher than
the globe trotting CEO.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
Well, Jerry's done the exact same thing. So a while ago, Jerry,
you went away on holiday and you took your phone,
which at the time was on a work plan. I
believe you went to like Switzerland or something. And I
remember this because at the time your bill went through
to g Lane. He had to approve the phone bills
and he got an email saying, hey, one of your
employees has just racked up like a three thousand dollars

(52:19):
phone bill, and he's like how And it was just
because you happened to be overseas. You didn't realize that
you were still on the work thing, even the roaming
just no, I did know I was on the work.
That was why I was doing it.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
And I was just I'm getting that situation. I'm like,
should I go in for the Wi Fi? It's like, no, no,
I'll just leave it on the Cabby Buggets, leave it
on the five G.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
And then I think the wash up from that from
memory was they couldn't figure out how you offered to
pay them back, but they couldn't figure out how to
do that, like how.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
You could pay yes, that's right the company, And so
it just fell through the crowd and now we don't
know who looks after my phone set a.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Dangerous president because man I I was burning through the data.
Morning guys.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
I once cut the gas Mane and Vulcan lane while
working on the Occidental Hotel in nearly two thousands. A
lot of things happening in the early two thousands. It
was right on lunchtime, five fire trucks turned up, shut
down the whole place. I was not the flavor of
the month with the cafe owners for quite some time
after that. That's cam the build up. No free coffees
have we got Mark on the line.

Speaker 4 (53:17):
I believe we do it, Morning Mark, Welcome to the show,
morning lads. Good what's your most expensive work cock up?

Speaker 9 (53:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (53:25):
I got off at a brand new job and it
was about five years ago when there was a real
ute shortage and the new boss finally tracked down a
brand new Dmax for me and within the first sort
of couple of months later slide visit. So shot off
down to Otago and met a client and he took

(53:47):
me into the site and it was on a normal
four wheel drive track and I was just following him
quietly as you go, and if you've done any sort
of four wheel drive, and you'll know that on the
old occasion you might bump something and you sort of
puck her a little bit and carry on. And it
wasn't until that evening that I got back out onto
the main road that the automatic lane assist was sort
of just kicking out a little bit, like it wasn't

(54:09):
holding on like it was before. And we had a
look underneath and it all seemed okay. But we carried
on with the job for that week and drove all
the way back to base and three thousand kilometer first
check in, rolled into the servo and they go.

Speaker 14 (54:27):
You know, you've written it off.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
How what did happened?

Speaker 11 (54:32):
Well, apparently I dumped the rock and it had snapped
the chassis, but there was a steering. There was a
steering in front of the cross member at the front
there and all of the bash plans underneath had given
no protection whatsoever, and the insurance company just was not
going to take the body off and fix up the chassis,
so they just wrote it off.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Brand spanker?

Speaker 11 (54:55):
Was it brand spanking? Three thousand kilometers on the clock.

Speaker 13 (55:00):
I had a brand new job as well.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
No, no thanks for your cool Mark. I worked at
a power station Australia sysysticering during the Bushpires.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
I turned it off.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
I didn't talk to energy trading and we didn't.

Speaker 4 (55:15):

it off the grid. It cost eight hundred one thousand dollars.

Thanks for listening to the Hidacke Breakfast.

Speaker 6 (59:29):
Jerry in the Night the Hourarchy Breakfast.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
I just received an email a notification before Fellas that
said that my review has reached fifty views, and I
was like, what the hell's there? And then I remembered
that we were asked, almost forced, Jerry, would you say
when we went to Applebee's for dinner recently over in

(59:54):
the States and they asked us to leave a review
for them. Evidently people decide which chain restaurant they're going
to go to for dinner based on Google reviews over there. Yeah,
and so they almost at gunpoint it felt like us
for a five star review.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Well, we just got off a plane. We'd just been
on a fourteen and a half hour flight, and we
were some of us dangerously hung over, not looking at
anyone in particular, some.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Of us still drunk. Otherwise in particular, we're just tired. Yeah,
that's and emotional.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
But they did they did get us just at a
moment one year, we just got off the plane basically
on our way to Austin, and we stopped off at
one of those classic strip.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Malls on the side of the highway in the States,
at the service station.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
And yeah, but we were bribed because he said, the
guy who was our way to said, oh, yeah, if
you do that, then we'll give you a free dessert.

Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
Yeah. I didn't even want a dessert. I just wanted
them to stop asking me, so I did. Initially, Joe
Jerry was the first person to do it. He took
a photo of me desperately hung over sitting in front
of my meal and posted that on there. And the
guy came out and was just like, hey, thanks so
much for posting your review to me, he thought, And
here's mine. I posted a photo of my own face
onto the review thing. Anyway, I've now become the face
of Applebee's Brenham. But I then when you google it,

(01:01:07):
my face comes up. I then left my own review
of five stars, which has now received fifty fifty views
on it. So people who are looking up where to
go for dinner in regional Texas are finding my review,
fifty of them, and I presume acting upon it, and
that's why they thank me.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
What does your review say?

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
I've got it here in front of us now five stars.
When I asked Stuart one review five stars dinner twenty
to thirty dollars, I have no idea. I didn't pay
for it, and I wrote, I had no memory of
rodding this. I wrote Applebee's Brenham is a dining experience
unrivaled in the Lone Star State. The grilled cheat.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
You've been in the Lone Star State for fourteen oh no, no, no,
in the half an hour?

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Yeah, I haven't think half an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
I mean maybe an hour, maybe an hour with all
of the time that we went through to get through
customs and stuff, and maybe you've been there for an hour.

Speaker 4 (01:02:00):
Sperience of the Lone Star State at that point was
the departure customs and then a bus ride and then
you hadn't eaten a single thing by the stage note, Okay,
as a dining experience unrivaled in the Lone Star State.
The grilled cheese cheeseburger was a revelation. It was It

(01:02:20):
was a grilled cheese cheese, so grilled cheese like a sandwich.
And then they'd put that insider burger right and there
was no meat. It was no there was meat in there.
But there's girl cheese in there too, yeah, with with
a bun.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
Yes. And I think.

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
The grilled cheese cheeseburger was a revelation. A lesser establishment
would have made a cheeseburger and just called it a day.
Not Apple Bee's Brenham. The addition of grilled cheese to
the cheeseburger was inspired. Our servant, Nikki was as capable
as she was caring. And I have just now canceled one.
We've done that, and I've just now canceled my Raturn
flights to New Zealand so that I may dine here

(01:02:56):
one more time. Food five out of five, Service, five
out of five, atmosphere five out of five. Noise level
quite easy to talk, group size, suitable for all group sizes.
What a greazer two likes on that? What a greaser
two likes on it? And apple Bee's Grilling Bar owner
has replied, Yeah, wow, We're very grateful for the five stars.
And and I we're always working hard to make sure

(01:03:18):
you have the best experience. We can't wait to serve
you again soon. I will never go back to that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Of all the meals. So that was the first meal
you had, Yeah, and he gave it five stars. Where
does that meal now set at apple Bee's In terms
of all of the meals that you had in the
lone Star state and actually in Mississippi as well in Tennessee.

Speaker 4 (01:03:38):
I would say that by far, that was the worst
meal I had Wow. Yeah, I thought so too. Oh Man. Anyway,
five star review with a gun to my head.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Thanks very much for listening to The Hard to Keep
Breakfast today Wednesday, the twenty ninth of October. We'll be
back on the live radio show at six am tomorrow
