Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Hodaki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Just a while back, you came up with a game
called Whakamana or Nose Kai.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Yes, it was a Kiwi version of a game that
I saw a couple of British geezers playing called Sniffle Puff,
and I was like, this is great. Whakamana or Nose Kai.
We did some great New Zealanders. A lot of their
legal teams have reached out, big fans of the show,
and they wanted some money off us for accusing.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Them of doing drugs.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
And then last week we did Star Wars. Last week
we went through Star Wars, yeah. And then we put
the video up online. Someone said, what about native birds?
So this morning I present to you whakamana or nose kai,
New Zealand native birds edition.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
So you reckon we can tell a native bird by
whether or not they would smoke the whakamanas or sniff
the nose kai?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I reckon there's a few really easy ones. So straight
off the bat, by way of a warm-up, the kereru,
the wood pigeon.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, the kereru just sits in a tree. It's absolutely
fuck-a-man-ed out of its mind.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Out of its mind, dude.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Gorging on puddity berries.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And then finally when it decides to move, I mean,
it moves from branch to branch, and those branches, they
really drop down when the kerudu gets moving.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You could spot one from a mile away in the bush, yeah. Yeah.
When I'm in the bush.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But then when they swoop and they fly to another tree,
they go low. Because they're big suckers.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, they are big suckers. They go as low as
approved by the South African aviation rules.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yep, they do. They're like an air link.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
They are like an air link plane. And the other
thing about them, if you've ever been close enough, you
can hear their wings hitting themselves underneath them as they flap.
Now that is whakamana behavior.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, occasionally they mistake windows for reflection or the reflection
of a tree in a window for a window, a tree.
And then they end up smashing into a. They come
straight through that thing. And in that situation, you can
grab that bird.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And you can eat that bird. In that situation. Is
that right?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Would you poach it?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't know. Zoe would probably poach it. Actually, can
you eat that bird? I probably can't. Don't.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I mean, look, if you get arrested for eating native
birds and you go, hey, but I heard Jeremy and
I saying you could do it. Look, that's on you.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I would take it immediately to my local tanga te
whenua and I would say, you do what you need
to do.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I would eat it. So that's the kereru. So let
me give you another one to display the other side
of the spectrum, the care, the humble care. Now, pulling
cars apart.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just causing problems.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Pulling cars apart is big nose-kite behavior.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You've been awake for too long, you're bored.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And now you're causing issues.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You've seen something shiny. You're like, well, now I have
to have that. So you go and just rip it
off a stranger's car right in front of them while
they're in the car. You see a pair of shoes
outside that person's house. And you go, I want to
take one of those shoes and then the shoe lace
out of the other one. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Did you ever see that footage of the Kia that
was sitting on top of the sheep? And so obviously
Kia live up in high country in the South Island.
And obviously sheep live in high country in the South Island.
And the sheep were eating some stuff that the kea
was eating. And then the kea went, you know what?
I think I may as well start eating these sheep.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah. What are you doing with that eye?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So they went on the back of the sheep and
they would just start pecking. And they realized the sheep
couldn't do anything about it. And they just would peck
away in the kidney region. And then just the sheep
would just stand there, couldn't do anything.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
And the bird would just start eating its kidneys while
it was alive.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Big nose-kai behavior, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Now, what about a tui?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
A tui. For me, that's clearly nose-kai.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yes, because it's keeping you up. It's a really obnoxious
honk that they have. They're probably my favorite bird going
around at the moment. But, yeah, whenever one pitches up
in your backyard, honk, honk.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Who said that? It's just right. And they can also
impersonate people. But the interesting thing, the tui as well,
you very seldom see them on the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I don't think I've ever seen one on the ground, no.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's why they don't really tend to get caught by
other cats, etc.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
What about our native bird, the kiwi?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Now, this is an interesting one.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Emblematic of the country.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
It is nocturnal, which says to me it's been up,
you know, on the nose-kai.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Nose-kai.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And have you ever seen or heard a kiwi having
a scrap?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's pretty intense.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yes, it is full noise.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm going to say, even though you're thinking it's a
bit of a whakamana sort of a vibe, I reckon
actually nose-kai.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yes, I agree with that. I think so. You're up,
like you said, up all night scrapping. That's nose-kai. You're
not doing that in the whakamanas. Did you find the
audio of the scrap?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
That kiwi's been up on the nose kind of like
five days. You need to sleep.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, 100%. I've got a few more to get through
up next. Give us a text, 3483, if there's any
birds that we've missed. Will you accept native mammals?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Do you want to bring native mammals into it? Marine mammals?
I mean, there is the bat, of course.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Again, nocturnal, blind, nose guy.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The Weka will be an interesting one. I'm interested to
see where you sit on the Weka.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
We're playing Whakamana vs.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Nose Kai Native Bird Edition.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, that's right, and we've had a bunch of texts
come through on 3483. Do we need to explain? I
feel like every time we do this, people are like,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Probably helps.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Okay, so Whakamana, cannabis, Nose Kai, Kai that goes through
your nose. Do your own research. This week, you know,
in the past we've done Star Wars, we've done Great
New Zealanders. This week, New Zealand native birds. A couple
of texts come through. Chris, my football team are called
the Weckers and are definitely on the nose-kai. So definitely nose-kai.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Wecker, for me, Wecker's got a big nose-kai vibe. Fearless.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Fearless. I remember watching a documentary a few years ago
where a tramper had gotten lost and got frostbite in
their foot. Woke up one morning, didn't realize the bloody
wick had taken off with his toe.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Fearless, insane.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah. Fearless and insane zone, nose guy. Willie reckons, not native,
but seagulls are nose guy hard.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh, yeah. And scrapping with each other.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Over nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Also said, and thoughts please on native birds on K Road,
if you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I don't. The kiwi is purpose-built for cocaine. Its nostrils
are at the end of its beak, where other birds
have it up at the bridge of the nose or
the beak. That would be pretty impressive to watch, actually.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Okay, someone's had a deep think about that.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Now, this one here, magpies have a Pervitin vibe.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh! Okay, so Pervitin is the name, the brand name
for methamphetamine. So the Nazis.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Brand name.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, the Nazis invented methamphetamine.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, it was invented in Germany anyway, and then the
Nazis used it. They gave it in pill form to
their soldiers, hence why they could just keep soldiering on.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Soldier on. That's so effective.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And it's the same thing that's obviously found in cold girl.
So anyway, yeah, that's what that is. Basically meth.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Magpie's perverted.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, 100%. And completely paranoid over nothing. It's like, magpie,
I'm not going for your nest.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I'm just walking through the park.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh, you're coming to attack my nest, are you? How
about I swoop you?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
When was the last time a human attacked a magpie nest?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Never.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I've never even seen one.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh, mate, walking to school as a kid was a nightmare.
We would get them in plovers, plovers, plovers?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh, yeah, plovers.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Whatever the hell those things are. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's so good, though. It's true that they are massively meth-y.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Magpie pervitant.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
The moor pork is definitely on the Bolivian marching dust.
It's the eyes, I think. It's the crazy, like, hectic
eye contact. Again, nocturnal. So they're up all night just
staring at you with those eyes. And you look at
them like, geez, if I say the wrong thing here,
he's going to go me.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Which is nose guy. Yep. P. waka waka.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh, heavy nose guy vibes there.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Heavy.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah. Flittering around all over the place. In fact, most
birds are more nose guy, aren't they?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Generally, yep. Chris agrees with that. A fantail flits around
like he's just double dropped an eckie on a Friday.
No idea where he is. Uh, what about give me
the pukeko?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Uh, for me, that's whakamana, flapping around pointlessly.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And, um, and also not that, not that afraid of you. Yes. But, um,
but hanging out in groups, I don't know what that,
actually I was, I played golf yesterday and I, I
hit a ball straight through a couple of pukeko, wandered through.
They've no fear, which is unfakamanary, but I, I don't know. I've,
I feel whakamana to me.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
To me, it's nose-kai behavior because they are often in
urban environments. They're unfussed about that. They will be in
some of the grossest environments that you see and you're
just like, geez, what are they doing? Picking through a
bin or something? You know what I mean? It's sort
of glass barbie in the CBD areas.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Where do you sit on the fancy, on the fat pukiko,
the takahe?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
The takahe. See, that's probably a little bit more whakamana-y
for me.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A bit more solo operators. You know, they look like
they're in their own world whereas pukiko, you'll find them Yeah,
like you said, in clusters, in urban environments. What about
a shag?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
100% whakamana.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, little blue penguin.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That's a difficult one. I think whakamana.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Okay, yellow-eyed penguin, the hoiho.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Whakamana.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Whakamana. Kakapo, takahe, I think whakamana. The gannet, I think
is nose kite. And what about the hot-breasted milf?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Never heard of it. Want Gerry and Mania waiting for
you every morning?
