But yeah, I'm a rusty boy. Yeah it was frost.
But it was that frost that like looked like you
couldn't tell them to you in the wind screen wipers
on and then it started and then you just scrape
out just enough of a window that you can see four.
Don't worry about looking backwards and not going that way,
and then you cut a motorcycle stuff because I thought
(01:08):
it was a car that had one head light out.
It's that kind of.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That kind of frost light frosting, Oh light frost, very
light frost. It wasn't a get out a credit card
and scrape it off your wind screen sort of frost.
It wasn't I get out the cold water and tip
it over the wind screen.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
No, it wasn't warm. It wasn't a boiler jug and
pour it over the wind screen and then have everyone
tell you for the rest of the day, I'll be
careful with that your shaddy win screen. Have you ever
heard of anyone shattering the one screen doing that? Never? Once?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Never try it on a radio.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I've tried it. I've tried it on my way to school.
I've tried it on my way to work. I've tried
it with the fox. I've tried it in the box.
It doesn't It doesn't break your windscreen. So just go
for it with gay band and telling Monica has sent
you the show's proud in his sponsored nervous that replaces.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I've heard some interesting techniques of how to stop ice
from on you one screen, like newspaper.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I've heard that sounds time angenance.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Doesn't it. I can't remember to put the bins out
in the morning. I'm not going to put one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You want to duct tape a newspaper, the Herald obviously
the New Zealand Herald.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, well, if I was going to it would be
the New Zealand Hero. When I duct tape newspaper to
my one screen, it's the New Zealand Hero.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'd go with the Sunday Star Times.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Are we allowed to You're not even allowed to say
that name, Sunday Star Times.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's bloody good, the Sunday Start Times high.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'm sending this to mcclim.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm going to we can't.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We can't talk about the Sunday Start Times. Is that
what it's come to.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
That's what it's come to, mate, Just go now, just
go now, gun and badge on the disk bat.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But the jelly Beans Club, more of the jelly Beans
Club from the Sunday Star Times still get my badge every.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's the jelly Beans Club, joy Ben's Club. The club?
Is this one of those things from before running was invented?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Pretty much well, when the Sunday Star Times came out
in nineteen eighty six, congratulations whatever it was. Nineteen eighty
seven they had the Jollybans cups, so they actually had
a section or section that was actually a quarter of
a page dedicated to kids. Now, nobody ever thought of that.
Three D Herald certainly didn't have that boring old Herald
(03:25):
and I.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Was boring then, but now, oh, man, just keep mine so.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Boring the Herald. So where is there?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Sunday Star Times more a nicer font. They got a
nap though more friendly. Sunday Star Times got a nap jury.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Sunday Star Times, Yeah, of course. And then the Sun.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Was that the naughty one with the.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The Auckland Sun. No, that was the daily that came
out with the Star. It was the Star and the
sunsted to deliver the Star.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You'd know the one. What was the one with the oppers?
You'd know, Oh, the eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was on a Sunday. It was the Sunday News,
the eight o'clock, the Sunday News. It used to be
a lot of newspapers in their apps speaking a different
language to me. I can only imagine how people got
their information. Man, Sunday News, the Sunday Times, the the
Sunday Star time.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I remember the Sunday News actually the.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Way Maty Advertiser and the eight o'clock and the Timorou Herald.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't remember the eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Do you remember the Timorari Herald? Every issue, every issue, great,
great issue, every issue. It doesn't get much better than that.
That is the cleanest tagline that the newspapers ever written.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Someone came up with that because it would have been
pre ai, so someone came up with that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I could never every issue, every issue, he drop every issue.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I know we should. I've got an idea around the
word SSU every issue, every issue.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
The Hadachy Breakfast every issue, every issue.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah right, you need to need you need two different issues.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Every issue, every issue, every issue, every issue.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's so reliable.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I don't even know if that's still the thing. But they,
you know, back when print media could afford billboards, they
put a billboard up Intomoca and it's still up there,
so it's and maybe that is still there thing, but
but it seems to me like South Canterbury's equivalent of
the design which my mate saw for the first time
(05:34):
the other day. He came up from Hamilton. He took
a train and come past the Dicker sign and was like, hell,
that's a thing. There's a dick a sign.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's a thing, and it's still there. I mean, I
love that. I love that dick asign. Decker was terrible,
but I loved I love the idea that they've just
headed up and then now it's become I mean it's
a piece of art now, Yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
What's what was Dicker? I I remember it, but I
don't as Farmers.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Basically, it was like it was like a it was
before kmart. It was it was kind of like a
came out before the warehouse, before the warehouse. Yeah, Decker
department store such a Standford Decker part.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well what it stood for with saving feels good, feels good.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It didn't the stores like like did you guys ever
go into para rubber? Yeah, that's what the store smell like.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'll tell you what before before a place unit would
go into Para rubber and it was like you're allowed
to buy anything but a bottle and you have to
drink out of that for the rest of the of
the day.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's what what?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
What did you go with?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There's all sorts of like Tapa wear and fucking beakers
and random ship.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Para rubber man that learned large Para Rubber.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I still go to Para Rubber.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I got a rubber.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It was more plastic than rubber, That wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
No, I go there now because I've got the pop
up pool in summer. I'll still go so to go
para pool.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Gotta go get my claw. Well it's not actually a
para pole. It's the best way poll But I go
to Para Rubber because they check my water for free,
and then I buy so much ship from them, like
chlorine and stabilize.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
What do they say?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
No, They're like because I always go in there with
kind of like when you go on for your warrant
and I'm like, oh, you have.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
To take a jug of water. You get a little
bottle of.
Speaker 5 (07:28):

tells you what you fucking pH levels are and ship
and then they go here, buy this four hundred.

And they will cast and make that for you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Is there anything that they can't do at Para Rubber.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Doesn't seem so.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I don't think they've got sex workers?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Could they really? Have you asked? Did you go into
Para Rubbers? Hey? Have you had anything off menu? It
says here latex and now what do you guys do
with it?

Farmers Decker Limited by two thousand. Dickers numbers had reduced

It launched with ninety shops.

Do you guys have Smith City?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Still? Does Smith City? I think so? I said he
was like in appliances and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, because it was it called originally called Smith and Smith.
And this is before Smith and Smith replace Yeah, Smith
and Smith first and Auto Glass. Yeah, and it was
called Smith and Smith and then they just changed it
to Smith City because they realized that they had a
bit of a branding issue.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Kerry and Mania joining the complaint the Hrdarki Breakfast Discussion
group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and Mania Stuart

Speaker 3 (10:07):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That city Here we come. Sah, That's how the jingle went.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I love when someone says something like oh man, I
will know that, and man, I's just looking at the
fuck I don't know me.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know that, Oh, Ruder, Para Rubber really do mattresses.
They are big on child's mattresses. What do you think
you can get a Para Rubber Deluxe mattress one fifty.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Mile covered for Can you fold it up?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Three fifty nine? Yep, they've got them in stock.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And that'll fold up now. Now, can you bring it
into the studio and find the smallest room in the
building that Zoe then has to set in for the
rest of the morning and sleep in there with the
doors shut? Can you do that? To say?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
If you can do that, have they got any pre
stained ones, because those are my favorite?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I mean you can rubber diamond matting to put over
the top of it. Sixty four ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Make sure a Metross topic because I've got one of
those fold out couches, but it's a bit hard. It's
the feedback I've had. Oh really looks like a Metross topper,
but mattress top I'd like it's soft enough to cushion
the blow for people that lie on the couch, but
small enough that I can hide it somewhere when not
in use.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Would you call it an overlay?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Sure, yep, they've got them, they've got them.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, you're looking at three hundred and eighty nine bucks
convoluted luxury memory foam overlay fifty mil.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Queen convoluted nine.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You could buy a bed for that.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I was going to say, is that their best price?
And buy a bed every day?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Jude?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You could. You could chop it down to two oh
nine for some economy mattress topper, which is just a
bit of foam. Really, yeah, God, is that that expensive?
Is it really that expensive to make that bit of
You just get some petroln petrol. You can get some
elephant foam two fifty nine. That's for the forty mil.
(11:58):
It seems expensive, are they? I mean it's para rubber?
Is it a Is it some kind of gang sort
of roared?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah? I think I go there. I think it is
a gang where they.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I just told you the kind of people that go
to part I'm pretty sure our next door neighbor as
families started para rubber. That really Yeah, he's ninety, he's
ninety three, get him.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
On the show. Smith City started downsizing its store numbers
in twenty twenty five, in an attempt to recover profit
and Tuesday's sickness. September twenty twenty five, Smith City was
placed into voluntary administration. OH administrator's petty gower and doing
to match at a video. The company has faced increasing
financial pressures and challenging environment, the economic environment. So yeah,
(12:43):
they go on brother, So was that bidding TV?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
TVs? It was like a Harvey Norman was.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It wasn't quite Harvey Norman. It was like house it was.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, it was more Farmers?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Uh no more? Yeah? Or like but just the house
where's department of like the upstairs department of a farmer's store?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Have you been into Farmers recently? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah, I got that all the time. What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Where do you go for everything in your house? I'm
starting to pick up a pattern here. Do people just
come to your house with things at it?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Ah? No? But I don't go to farm I've been
to Farmers. No, I've been to Farmers lots of times,
but I've found that Farmers the people don't want to
work there. If you want to.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Buy it on commersion, nah, So they don't give a
shit if you want to buy something.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You will never find someone at Farmers. You go looking,
it's like came out. You go looking, and you'll you
may as well. I don't know, but it's like trying
to find the yitty. You won't find anyone, and if
you do find then they won't know the answer to
the question that you've got.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
The other the other flip side of that, does Harvey Norman,
where you are set upon as soon as you walk
in the door. That one's a terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, give me that.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Are you like that?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I like that? I was wondering if it was the
other day. I went in to buy a TV and
immediately there were three dudes and they were nice, and
they were all like, oh, you can sort us. This
guy knows his TVs. Yeah, and they had my TV
sorted and I'm going to say five minutes. Oh yes,
it was really good that.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I immediately want to tell them the funk off. Really yeah.
And the missus won't go into harvy woman anymore. We
just can't.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's the why in you there just like left alone.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I'm in here after.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The feeling of loneliness, and I don't I'm not used
to other misery.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, you want the shopping experience to be miserable. I do.
I want to. I want to bitch about the prices
in public. But then I think it's another part of
like that, like you know, the small town politeness that
you've got to have. So if if a salesperson comes over,
regional people will find themselves buying shit. They don't want
(14:47):
a prices they can't afford, so that they don't so
they're not rude to the salesperson, Whereas I think if
you're used to salespeople, you're quite happy to be like, no,
thank you, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You've got to be direct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Oh you going to be direct?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Being direct? You can be direct back, that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
And they're on commercial, that's the difference. That's why they're
doing that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They're on commission and you can do a deal with
somewhere as you can't do any deals at Farmers there's
no deals.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No. Leming's pretty similar. They set upon you as soon
as you walking.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But I'll walk straight out of a shop that they
do that. Really, I'm coming there for a conversation. I
just want to left alone.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I like to be I like someone to want to
sell something to me. I want them to I want
them to. I don't want them to work. That sounds lame.
I just want to I want to be helped. Like
I've come there to buy something. I've come there and
I want someone to help me. I don't want to
be wandering around having to ask for help. I've got
some money to spend. Do you want it or do
(15:43):
you not want it?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'll never ask for help if they come past, no
matter where I am, and they're like you'll get it. Yeah, yeah,
I'll go, and then I'll walk for another half an
hour before I find the fucking thing.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No idea. I'm god, I'll do that at a bunny.
What are you looking for? Is that?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeh?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And I'm like googling it and.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I reckon they could do with another four staff per Bunnings,
you agan, yep, just four more often, especially in the weekends.
Super busy, but that those people are great. It's our sex.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Okay, thanks for like many. I would rather go no,
I'm good, thanks, And then get my phone out and
then it says it's ILGBA thirty two and you're like, sweet,
I'll go phone it myself.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You go there and there's nothing. It's not even remotely
close to the thing you're looking for. The must be
the other end.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I did not picking guys to be those sorts
of people.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I don't like asking for directions.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I reckon. We are ninety percent of Kiwis. That's my
You should put this to the put this to the
people there. That's a good one, snap pole. Do you
like receiving assistance at a shop in a shopping situation,
it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
What about buying clothes?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeahye, buclothes.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do you like anyone helping you?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
All I want from them is do you have any
other sizes out the back?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
What about sunglasses?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No? Nothing, okay nothing. Maybe a waiter I might ask
them the odd question, but generally.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No, okay.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Actually, even going to like open homes and stuff, they're like,
oh can I help you? No?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
No, no, no, I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I want to talk to a No, I'm not. It's
just talking to a real estate agent. I don't know. No,
I just want to look. That's a looking experience because
you don't want to buy. But if I go to
a store, I want to buy, so I want someone
to help me to buy. But I don't go to
a store to lock, I go to a store to buy,
I'll lock online. But then with houses, you're you know
(17:46):
you don't want someone to appreciate you to buy a house.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
See you through the Limon Report, No thanks, Yeah, we've
seen you through all the docks.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You're cool. Man, give your face?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
What's your name?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh yeah, what's.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Your I'm fucking still getting someone from about five fucking
years ago. And then new namers do not answer.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah, oh many, manet money? Am I saying that?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We don't have to do this. Let's just burn this.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Imagine changing your number because people just keep fucking calling
you from a real estate company.

tell you for the rest of the day, I'll be
careful with that your shaddy win screen. Have you ever
heard of anyone shattering the one screen doing that? Never? Once?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Never try it on a radio.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I've tried it. I've tried it on my way to school.
I've tried it on my way to work. I've tried
it with the fox. I've tried it in the box.
It doesn't It doesn't break your windscreen. So just go
for it with gay band and telling Monica has sent
you the show's proud in his sponsored nervous that replaces.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I've heard some interesting techniques of how to stop ice
from on you one screen, like newspaper.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I've heard that sounds time angenance.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Doesn't it. I can't remember to put the bins out
in the morning. I'm not going to put one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
You want to duct tape a newspaper, the Herald obviously
the New Zealand Herald.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, well, if I was going to it would be
the New Zealand Hero. When I duct tape newspaper to
my one screen, it's the New Zealand Hero.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'd go with the Sunday Star Times.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Are we allowed to You're not even allowed to say
that name, Sunday Star Times.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's bloody good, the Sunday Start Times high.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I'm sending this to mcclim.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I'm going to we can't.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We can't talk about the Sunday Start Times. Is that
what it's come to.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
That's what it's come to, mate, Just go now, just
go now, gun and badge on the disk bat.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But the jelly Beans Club, more of the jelly Beans
Club from the Sunday Star Times still get my badge every.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's the jelly Beans Club, joy Ben's Club. The club?
Is this one of those things from before running was invented?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Pretty much well, when the Sunday Star Times came out
in nineteen eighty six, congratulations whatever it was. Nineteen eighty
seven they had the Jollybans cups, so they actually had
a section or section that was actually a quarter of
a page dedicated to kids. Now, nobody ever thought of that.
Three D Herald certainly didn't have that boring old Herald
(03:25):
and I.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Was boring then, but now, oh, man, just keep mine so.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Boring the Herald. So where is there?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Sunday Star Times more a nicer font. They got a
nap though more friendly. Sunday Star Times got a nap jury.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Sunday Star Times, Yeah, of course. And then the Sun.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Was that the naughty one with the.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The Auckland Sun. No, that was the daily that came
out with the Star. It was the Star and the
sunsted to deliver the Star.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You'd know the one. What was the one with the oppers?
You'd know, Oh, the eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
It was on a Sunday. It was the Sunday News,
the eight o'clock, the Sunday News. It used to be
a lot of newspapers in their apps speaking a different
language to me. I can only imagine how people got
their information. Man, Sunday News, the Sunday Times, the the
Sunday Star time.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I remember the Sunday News actually the.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Way Maty Advertiser and the eight o'clock and the Timorou Herald.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't remember the eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Do you remember the Timorari Herald? Every issue, every issue, great,
great issue, every issue. It doesn't get much better than that.
That is the cleanest tagline that the newspapers ever written.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Someone came up with that because it would have been
pre ai, so someone came up with that.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I could never every issue, every issue, he drop every issue.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I know we should. I've got an idea around the
word SSU every issue, every issue.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
The Hadachy Breakfast every issue, every issue.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah right, you need to need you need two different issues.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Every issue, every issue, every issue, every issue.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's so reliable.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I don't even know if that's still the thing. But they,
you know, back when print media could afford billboards, they
put a billboard up Intomoca and it's still up there,
so it's and maybe that is still there thing, but
but it seems to me like South Canterbury's equivalent of
the design which my mate saw for the first time
(05:34):
the other day. He came up from Hamilton. He took
a train and come past the Dicker sign and was like, hell,
that's a thing. There's a dick a sign.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's a thing, and it's still there. I mean, I
love that. I love that dick asign. Decker was terrible,
but I loved I love the idea that they've just
headed up and then now it's become I mean it's
a piece of art now, Yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
What's what was Dicker? I I remember it, but I
don't as Farmers.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Basically, it was like it was like a it was
before kmart. It was it was kind of like a
came out before the warehouse, before the warehouse. Yeah, Decker
department store such a Standford Decker part.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Well what it stood for with saving feels good, feels good.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
It didn't the stores like like did you guys ever
go into para rubber? Yeah, that's what the store smell like.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I'll tell you what before before a place unit would
go into Para rubber and it was like you're allowed
to buy anything but a bottle and you have to
drink out of that for the rest of the of
the day.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's what what?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
What?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
What did you go with?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There's all sorts of like Tapa wear and fucking beakers
and random ship.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Para rubber man that learned large Para Rubber.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I still go to Para Rubber.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I got a rubber.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It was more plastic than rubber, That wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
No, I go there now because I've got the pop
up pool in summer. I'll still go so to go
para pool.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Gotta go get my claw. Well it's not actually a
para pole. It's the best way poll But I go
to Para Rubber because they check my water for free,
and then I buy so much ship from them, like
chlorine and stabilize.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
What do they say?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
No, They're like because I always go in there with

To take a jug of water. You get a little
bottle of.

And they will cast and make that for you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Is there anything that they can't do at Para Rubber.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Doesn't seem so.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
I don't think they've got sex workers?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Could they really? Have you asked? Did you go into
Para Rubbers? Hey? Have you had anything off menu? It
says here latex and now what do you guys do
with it?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
What? I have notsked? I never never asked.
Speaker 3 (08:43):

over to Iran? The Democratic People's Republicans, you know fixing
Dicka joined with Farmers in nineteen ninety two to create
Farmers Decker Limited by two thousand. Dickers numbers had reduced
to sixty one, but at one point they had ninety
(09:03):
It launched with ninety shops.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, it was, it was. It was massive.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
In Cambridge, Cambridge.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Do you guys have Smith City?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Still? Does Smith City? I think so? I said he
was like in appliances and stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, because it was it called originally called Smith and Smith.
And this is before Smith and Smith replace Yeah, Smith
and Smith first and Auto Glass. Yeah, and it was
called Smith and Smith and then they just changed it
to Smith City because they realized that they had a
bit of a branding issue.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Kerry and Mania joining the complaint the Hrdarki Breakfast Discussion
group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and Mania Stuart
find them on Instagram at Hodarki Breakfast.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Ice sockets are still balls deeper in Smith City. I
think he does some work with them Smith City.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah, the city here we come.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I'm out what I don't know this jingle?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
What'sma's city Here we come?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
That city Here we come. Sah, That's how the jingle went.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
I love when someone says something like oh man, I
will know that, and man, I's just looking at the
fuck I don't know me.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know that, Oh, Ruder, Para Rubber really do mattresses.
They are big on child's mattresses. What do you think
you can get a Para Rubber Deluxe mattress one fifty.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Mile covered for Can you fold it up?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Three fifty nine? Yep, they've got them in stock.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And that'll fold up now. Now, can you bring it
into the studio and find the smallest room in the
building that Zoe then has to set in for the
rest of the morning and sleep in there with the
doors shut? Can you do that? To say?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
If you can do that, have they got any pre
stained ones, because those are my favorite?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I mean you can rubber diamond matting to put over
the top of it. Sixty four ninety nine.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Make sure a Metross topic because I've got one of
those fold out couches, but it's a bit hard. It's
the feedback I've had. Oh really looks like a Metross topper,
but mattress top I'd like it's soft enough to cushion
the blow for people that lie on the couch, but
small enough that I can hide it somewhere when not
in use.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Would you call it an overlay?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Sure, yep, they've got them, they've got them.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, you're looking at three hundred and eighty nine bucks
convoluted luxury memory foam overlay fifty mil.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Queen convoluted nine.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You could buy a bed for that.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I was going to say, is that their best price?
And buy a bed every day?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Jude?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You could. You could chop it down to two oh
nine for some economy mattress topper, which is just a
bit of foam. Really, yeah, God, is that that expensive?
Is it really that expensive to make that bit of
You just get some petroln petrol. You can get some
elephant foam two fifty nine. That's for the forty mil.
(11:58):
It seems expensive, are they? I mean it's para rubber?
Is it a Is it some kind of gang sort
of roared?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah? I think I go there. I think it is
a gang where they.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
I just told you the kind of people that go
to part I'm pretty sure our next door neighbor as
families started para rubber. That really Yeah, he's ninety, he's
ninety three, get him.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
On the show. Smith City started downsizing its store numbers
in twenty twenty five, in an attempt to recover profit
and Tuesday's sickness. September twenty twenty five, Smith City was
placed into voluntary administration. OH administrator's petty gower and doing
to match at a video. The company has faced increasing
financial pressures and challenging environment, the economic environment. So yeah,
(12:43):
they go on brother, So was that bidding TV?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
TVs? It was like a Harvey Norman was.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
It wasn't quite Harvey Norman. It was like house it was.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, it was more Farmers?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Uh no more? Yeah? Or like but just the house
where's department of like the upstairs department of a farmer's store?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Have you been into Farmers recently? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Yeah, I got that all the time. What's wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Where do you go for everything in your house? I'm
starting to pick up a pattern here. Do people just
come to your house with things at it?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Ah? No? But I don't go to farm I've been
to Farmers. No, I've been to Farmers lots of times,
but I've found that Farmers the people don't want to
work there. If you want to.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Buy it on commersion, nah, So they don't give a
shit if you want to buy something.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You will never find someone at Farmers. You go looking,
it's like came out. You go looking, and you'll you
may as well. I don't know, but it's like trying
to find the yitty. You won't find anyone, and if
you do find then they won't know the answer to
the question that you've got.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
The other the other flip side of that, does Harvey Norman,
where you are set upon as soon as you walk
in the door. That one's a terrifying.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, give me that.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Are you like that?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I like that? I was wondering if it was the
other day. I went in to buy a TV and
immediately there were three dudes and they were nice, and
they were all like, oh, you can sort us. This
guy knows his TVs. Yeah, and they had my TV
sorted and I'm going to say five minutes. Oh yes,
it was really good that.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
I immediately want to tell them the funk off. Really yeah.
And the missus won't go into harvy woman anymore. We
just can't.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's the why in you there just like left alone.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I'm in here after.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The feeling of loneliness, and I don't I'm not used
to other misery.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, you want the shopping experience to be miserable. I do.
I want to. I want to bitch about the prices
in public. But then I think it's another part of
like that, like you know, the small town politeness that
you've got to have. So if if a salesperson comes over,
regional people will find themselves buying shit. They don't want
(14:47):
a prices they can't afford, so that they don't so
they're not rude to the salesperson, Whereas I think if
you're used to salespeople, you're quite happy to be like, no,
thank you, I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You've got to be direct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Oh you going to be direct?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Being direct? You can be direct back, that's the rule.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
And they're on commercial, that's the difference. That's why they're
doing that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They're on commission and you can do a deal with
somewhere as you can't do any deals at Farmers there's
no deals.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
No. Leming's pretty similar. They set upon you as soon
as you walking.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
But I'll walk straight out of a shop that they
do that. Really, I'm coming there for a conversation. I
just want to left alone.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I like to be I like someone to want to
sell something to me. I want them to I want
them to. I don't want them to work. That sounds lame.
I just want to I want to be helped. Like
I've come there to buy something. I've come there and
I want someone to help me. I don't want to
be wandering around having to ask for help. I've got
some money to spend. Do you want it or do
(15:43):
you not want it?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'll never ask for help if they come past, no
matter where I am, and they're like you'll get it. Yeah, yeah,
I'll go, and then I'll walk for another half an
hour before I find the fucking thing.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
No idea. I'm god, I'll do that at a bunny.
What are you looking for? Is that?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeh?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
And I'm like googling it and.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I reckon they could do with another four staff per Bunnings,
you agan, yep, just four more often, especially in the weekends.
Super busy, but that those people are great. It's our sex.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Okay, thanks for like many. I would rather go no,
I'm good, thanks, And then get my phone out and
then it says it's ILGBA thirty two and you're like, sweet,
I'll go phone it myself.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
You go there and there's nothing. It's not even remotely
close to the thing you're looking for. The must be
the other end.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, I did not picking guys to be those sorts
of people.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I reckon.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I don't like asking for directions.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
I reckon. We are ninety percent of Kiwis. That's my
You should put this to the put this to the
people there. That's a good one, snap pole. Do you
like receiving assistance at a shop in a shopping situation,
it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
What about buying clothes?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeahye, buclothes.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Do you like anyone helping you?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
All I want from them is do you have any
other sizes out the back?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
What about sunglasses?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
No? Nothing, okay nothing. Maybe a waiter I might ask
them the odd question, but generally.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
No, okay.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Actually, even going to like open homes and stuff, they're like,
oh can I help you? No?
Speaker 4 (17:23):
No, no, no, I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I want to talk to a No, I'm not. It's
just talking to a real estate agent. I don't know. No,
I just want to look. That's a looking experience because
you don't want to buy. But if I go to
a store, I want to buy, so I want someone
to help me to buy. But I don't go to
a store to lock, I go to a store to buy,
I'll lock online. But then with houses, you're you know
(17:46):
you don't want someone to appreciate you to buy a house.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
See you through the Limon Report, No thanks, Yeah, we've
seen you through all the docks.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
You're cool. Man, give your face?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
What's your name?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Oh yeah, what's.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Your I'm fucking still getting someone from about five fucking
years ago. And then new namers do not answer.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah, oh many, manet money? Am I saying that?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
We don't have to do this. Let's just burn this.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Imagine changing your number because people just keep fucking calling
you from a real estate company.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
I'm out and done. Should a radio show?
