Speaker 1 (00:00):
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio
show The HURDARKI Breakfast Podcast. Oh yeah, we're standing? Oh ship,
are we standing?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I want to just want you to know you don't
have not you can solidarity brothers.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
No, No, I'm more comfortable with you sitting.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
He actually yes.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I what if I squat? I just I just know
how that's better. I just like, I just know how
hard it is for your hands to get to the
buttons from a secret position, and I worry that standing
is going to be even harder.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I feel like a primate that wouldn't surprise no one.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Can we check this birch up a little high? Can
we crank this birch up? Or is it c crankable?
The whole desk just to just to come up.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Remember when we moved to the descreen last year?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Could have we should have asked for it to come up. Well,
the thing is, no one asked us. So that's Fellows.
I bought in this to one of the most affuriate
in traffic related situations. Unusual. So the away was blocked
on the way in and there was roadworks and the
top to four lane motorway. The top two lanes were blocked,
(01:10):
and I saw the most agree Is there a word
for it? When you're on the top lane, lane next
to you is blocked, Let's say, two three hundred meters
down the track, someone purposely drives past you, knowing the
lanes coming to just the cutt in front of Yeah,
so people counted me, like the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Lane count lane con you got lane counted.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I've got lane countered.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Not to be confused with Mike lane counted, which is
a yeah, that's a very completely that's a specific level
of which I've been as well myself. Yeah, I have
been myself lane counted yea in the state of being
lane counted. And I've also been countered by lane count
counted as a lane.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, I counted by lane.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, I've been lane counted, which is when you're really
really counted and you end up sure in your front garden.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh that kind.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And then there's also lane counted when he is a
count to you, So both things.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And then lane counted where someone can't see it from
their lane. I'll get a text from mum Baller show,
and that happened to me and Andy everyone else there.
It was. It was one of the most ridiculas, and
that's why the motor had been brought to its knees.
I'm a firm believer of just get in the lane
(02:31):
you need to be and just stay there. The only
time that comes undone is when someone's going eighty and
one hundred k zone in the top lane.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Here's the problem. I think that's personally. I think that's
a South Canterbury attitude, and I don't like you bring
those South Canabary attitudes up to the big smoke.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Get in a lane, understand it. I'm not getting the
lane you need to be in. So if your exit's
coming up, get in the lane you need to be
in to take your exit. Find that. Don't just get
in any old fucking lane and go eighty k's.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh no, that's the same I thought that you were.
I thought you were promoting, Oh no, particular type of right.
I I go with the option of go left, stay left. Yes,
stay left, So stay left. Everyone stays left, and if
you're not overtaking the person on your left, then then
you need to get further left.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
We've talked about this was though she's gonna foul look
on her face.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
This money.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh, it's because it's because this does not happen in Germany.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh my god, it's illegal in Germany.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
And they fixed it in one rule change. And I
like this, and it's that you can't undertake people, so
you can't overtake on the left. So if you want
to overtake, you have to do it on the right
or you get fine. And so what that means is
if you get stuck in the right hand lane and
someone's going slow, they'll flash the fuck out of you
with their lights. Well, fair enough, horn the whole thing. Well,
you need to start doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
They go lights first. But there's just a gentle reminder.
It's like it's a reminder, excuse me, madams coming past you. Yeah, yeah,
you're you've I think you've forgotten that you're going a
lot slower and you're on the outside and your block
to stop out of this.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
The thing is in New Zealand, with good space left,
we've got that really entitled type of person that will
just go I can sit here in this lane if
I want to.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I am going one hundred yeah. All this speak is
one hundred yeah, and I'm going one hundred, so I
will block traffic behind me.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Germanity can handle it no longer.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's not often Zoe's steams and you're when.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
People just the chronic middle lane driver. Yeah, oh that
pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, what's slow?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Go in the slow lane. If you're chronically in the
middle lane because you can't quite and you hate you're
too scared of passing like any cars, or too scared
to change lanes, you're chronically the middle lane driving.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, it's actually the most dangerous lane, the middle lane.
I mean, if you're going to be in a safe lane,
go left, go on the left side. But do you
know why people don't like the left lane? And my
grandmother told me this because my grandmother used to at
ninety she was still driving. She used to go from
our place over on the side of town. She used
to go up to over and she would hop in
that right lane and she would drive in that lane.
(05:01):
And she said, well, it's just I can just get
in that right lane, and I know that other cars
are not going to be merging on me because you've
yeah said you're going to get cars up your ass
all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I will say that though, because as someone who merges
onto the motorway, there's there's two things that have been
merging on the motorway. One is someone not getting up
to speed when you go on. When you're coming onto
the motorway, people will go sixty k's an hour and
then pull out onto a fucking motorway where everyone else
is going one hundred k's. Get up that little shoulder
part is for you to get up to one hundred
(05:32):
k's to merge with everyone else.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Good opportunity to open up the cover eddors.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Open those bitches up. How often do they get to
stretch their leags?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Open it right up?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
What's up with those Auckland lights one car pool?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't they're not for me. I look ahead and
if there's lots of traffic then I might obey them.
Maybe if it's telling me, I.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Just go Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
There's no speed camera, there's no weird light cameras on them.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
They're a stupid solution to a stupid problem. Because either
you can go one hundred k's down there, or you can't.
You know what I mean, There's there'll be other traffic there.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Imerge like a zip.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yes, but this is the other problem. So either people
are in front of you going sixty ks, so you
now have to merge onto a motorway forty k difference.
It's fucking insane. Then the other one is the person
who is sitting in the left hand lane knowing there's
about fifteen on ramps that they're about to come past,
and they're going sixty as well. So you get this,
you speed up, and then all of a sudden you're
(06:30):
blocked by a wall of grannies who won't let you
into the motorway. It's like I think, and it all
steems from some people don't think about other cars on
the road, and they are not thinking that there's anyone
else there. I just had the barrier arm dropped down
on me in the parking building this morning because a
lady swiped her card. There's two barrier arms. I swipe mine,
(06:53):
we go through at the same time. She's slightly ahead
of me, and then she stops her car to put
her card away, and I'm now I don't need to
bury her waiting for her to find her purse.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
See, that's why you always got a booster when you're
those at the same always overtakes us.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And it's not just grannies that are doing this sort
of shit as well. Like, for I don't mind saying
it because he said it on here. Former New Zealand
cricketer and broadcaster Mark Richardson famously said he just sits
in the right lane and if people can get around him,
he does not care. He's like, if someone can go
past me on the left, I am not getting out
of that right lane for anyone.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Bring in the auto barn system.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, well we Unfortunately I don't quite have the driving
skills to be able to pull that off, because it's
not in our culture to be able to drive like that.
It's in the German culture.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Well yeah, we pay two thousand euros for a driver's license.
You pay two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, so you actually learn how to drive before you Yeah,
it's kind of like it's not just teaching you punishing rules,
it's actually teaching you to be a bit of driver
before you drive. We're like, are you as ha had?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Can you? Can you?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But also come with let's while we're at it, while
we're moaning, h here we go, because it's a good
old mona for us.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I the other day I was with my parents. My
parents are like in their eighties right, and I'm driving
along in the city in Auckland, so this is not
going to apply if you're listening anywhere but doesn't have
these stupid speed limits. But the speed limit up Franklin Road,
I've talked about it before. It is thirty. Now have
you ever been thirty before? Do you know how slow?
Twenty nine? Sorry, I mean at the limits thirty that's
(08:32):
a limit, So twenty nine target. Have you been twenty
nine on a like road with no people in front
of you? Something in you as dying. It's something that
you dies. You're like, oh my god, this is so bad.
It's like being in one of those cars they used
to have at leisure Land out in where you live,
(08:54):
the Tiachtu Peninsula. They used to have leisure Land foot
rock flats and they had drive down and they were
limited to like ten k's out and you'd be like,
come on, yeah, moving. It's like there's nothing in front
of me here. And so I'm driving along with my
parents and I'm doing like fifty, which is the reasonable
speed to go around town. I reckon fifty is good,
(09:16):
and I said to my parents, is this a thirty?
And my Dad's like, oh god, why would you he's
eighty three. He's like, he's like, why stupid a speed
limon I've ever heard of my life? He's like, how
could you even go through it? So I was like, oh,
I'll show you what thirty is. I slowed down to
twenty nine and there's a long key I was going
on Key Street. You know whether it's got the the
(09:38):
KFC with the two four lanes with the.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ministry, is that thirty? Yeah, it's thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Why would that be thinking? Are you trying to are
you trying people hate you? Is that the idea is
that are they trying other people who make the rules
trying to make trying to just anger people and make
them angry because you just feel like we're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, that's the thing. They invent this scenario, this thing
that's not going to happen, Like, what if this situation occurs,
we need to make a rule against that so it
never happens. And it's a situation that would never fucking occur.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
No, Like I say, if you if you run someone over,
if you hit someone, if you have an accident, and
if you speed and you do something wrong, that's still illegal.
Something bad should happen, should still not be allowed to
do that. Yeah, something bad should happen to you, fair enough,
but if nothing, if you can drive along at fifty
and not cause a problem, why should why should you
(10:34):
be penalized?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And that's why I think drink drivings are beat up, because.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well there's a theory around that, you know. I mean,
what's the difference between just being a really bad driver
and being an impaired driver?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah? That Well, look, what is an impairment?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Because i'd may to be safely in the end, What
have you actually done wrong? Yeah, it's different from someone
else who've got from me to be safely in a
different state of mind. Yeah, but I guess you can't
have people.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I got rear ended in a in the market parking
lot and way made by an oldie, and I watched
him in my rearview mirror. I just watched him just
drive straight into me. I pulled out a little bit,
then I saw him coming and so I stopped. So
my boot would have been about a foot maybe two
feet tops out of the park, and I just watched
him like target fixation. He had his mouth you know,
when oldie's driving, they've got the mouth open the whole time. That,
(11:27):
and then it eventually changed to fear. But he didn't
change his line and he didn't stop. He just drives
straight into me.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What comes he didn't have a car, Thatt just stopped.
Think my car can drive into anything.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No, this was way back in the day. Ah right, yeah,
although even now I think anyway. And then he got
out and he's just effident and jeffident, and I was like,
I was like, did he ever got you? No, he
was just he was just nutting off. He's like, oh
fucking And I was like, I'd see it. Made apologize.
You crashed him and I didn't apologize. And then he goes.
I fucking knew where they made this fucking guard park.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
This was it happened, was the car parks, with the
car parks, the infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's the infrastructures fault that you drove from about one
hundred meters away.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I blame, and then I blame the tarmac. I blame
the bloody greens. Anyone recently reversed a car without a reverse?
A camera everyone every day, Okay, I've got cameras and
I've lost the ability. The other day, I was in
a car I can't remember whose it was. Oh that's right.
(12:29):
It was over on waki and there was a family
friends car.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Just just a relatable about driving cars with cameras on.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It didn't have it didn't have a camera and sorry,
I'm just being relatable. And I had to reverse, not you,
and I was like, how do you do this again?
But now I think looking back and reversing was actually
quite good for your supplety, Like I can't really turn
(12:59):
in anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
That's the reason why I do it every day.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You keep yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Really really really fucking hate because no, no, no, when
you are reversing using your cameras, and obviously and in
town as well, you can use shop windows so you
can see exactly how far you've got between you and
the car behind you. Is when there's someone sitting in
the car behind you and they they think you must
(13:28):
be a moron and have no idea where your caracs
are and you get I don't know, like a foot
away and they're.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Just like hog And then you look at them and you're.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Like and they're like what do you do? And I'm like,
I just in the situations you you you put a
reverse and you drive into them. Yeah, is that what
you like? You wander found and then you just floor
it straight into them. What if the gang members, well
even more so.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's time to decide whether you're a man or a mouse.
You write that, fight, write down fight, gang members techniques,
gang member you seek? He just cold kai We sure
that's so good? Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Go on the weekend and do something to again.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Then can you delete that?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Jiri and Manayah catch the radio show from six to
ten weekdays, The Hadaky Breakfast
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio
show The HURDARKI Breakfast Podcast. Oh yeah, we're standing? Oh ship,
are we standing?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You don't have to.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I want to just want you to know you don't
have not you can solidarity brothers.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
No, No, I'm more comfortable with you sitting.

lady swiped her card. There's two barrier arms. I swipe mine,
(06:53):
we go through at the same time. She's slightly ahead
of me, and then she stops her car to put
her card away, and I'm now I don't need to
bury her waiting for her to find her purse.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
See, that's why you always got a booster when you're
those at the same always overtakes us.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
And it's not just grannies that are doing this sort
of shit as well. Like, for I don't mind saying
it because he said it on here. Former New Zealand
cricketer and broadcaster Mark Richardson famously said he just sits
in the right lane and if people can get around him,
he does not care. He's like, if someone can go
past me on the left, I am not getting out
of that right lane for anyone.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Bring in the auto barn system.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, well we Unfortunately I don't quite have the driving
skills to be able to pull that off, because it's
not in our culture to be able to drive like that.
It's in the German culture.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Well yeah, we pay two thousand euros for a driver's license.
You pay two hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, so you actually learn how to drive before you Yeah,
it's kind of like it's not just teaching you punishing rules,
it's actually teaching you to be a bit of driver
before you drive. We're like, are you as ha had?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Can you? Can you?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But also come with let's while we're at it, while
we're moaning, h here we go, because it's a good
old mona for us.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I the other day I was with my parents. My
parents are like in their eighties right, and I'm driving
along in the city in Auckland, so this is not
going to apply if you're listening anywhere but doesn't have
these stupid speed limits. But the speed limit up Franklin Road,
I've talked about it before. It is thirty. Now have
you ever been thirty before? Do you know how slow?
Twenty nine? Sorry, I mean at the limits thirty that's
(08:32):
a limit, So twenty nine target. Have you been twenty
nine on a like road with no people in front
of you? Something in you as dying. It's something that
you dies. You're like, oh my god, this is so bad.
It's like being in one of those cars they used
to have at leisure Land out in where you live,
(08:54):
the Tiachtu Peninsula. They used to have leisure Land foot
rock flats and they had drive down and they were
limited to like ten k's out and you'd be like,
come on, yeah, moving. It's like there's nothing in front
of me here. And so I'm driving along with my
parents and I'm doing like fifty, which is the reasonable
speed to go around town. I reckon fifty is good,
(09:16):
and I said to my parents, is this a thirty?
And my Dad's like, oh god, why would you he's
eighty three. He's like, he's like, why stupid a speed
limon I've ever heard of my life? He's like, how
could you even go through it? So I was like, oh,
I'll show you what thirty is. I slowed down to
twenty nine and there's a long key I was going
on Key Street. You know whether it's got the the
(09:38):
KFC with the two four lanes with the.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Ministry, is that thirty? Yeah, it's thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Why would that be thinking? Are you trying to are
you trying people hate you? Is that the idea is
that are they trying other people who make the rules
trying to make trying to just anger people and make
them angry because you just feel like we're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
No, that's the thing. They invent this scenario, this thing
that's not going to happen, Like, what if this situation occurs,
we need to make a rule against that so it
never happens. And it's a situation that would never fucking occur.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
No, Like I say, if you if you run someone over,
if you hit someone, if you have an accident, and
if you speed and you do something wrong, that's still illegal.
Something bad should happen, should still not be allowed to
do that. Yeah, something bad should happen to you, fair enough,
but if nothing, if you can drive along at fifty
and not cause a problem, why should why should you
(10:34):
be penalized?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
And that's why I think drink drivings are beat up, because.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well there's a theory around that, you know. I mean,
what's the difference between just being a really bad driver
and being an impaired driver?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah? That Well, look, what is an impairment?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Because i'd may to be safely in the end, What
have you actually done wrong? Yeah, it's different from someone
else who've got from me to be safely in a
different state of mind. Yeah, but I guess you can't
have people.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I got rear ended in a in the market parking
lot and way made by an oldie, and I watched
him in my rearview mirror. I just watched him just
drive straight into me. I pulled out a little bit,
then I saw him coming and so I stopped. So
my boot would have been about a foot maybe two
feet tops out of the park, and I just watched
him like target fixation. He had his mouth you know,
when oldie's driving, they've got the mouth open the whole time. That,
(11:27):
and then it eventually changed to fear. But he didn't
change his line and he didn't stop. He just drives
straight into me.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What comes he didn't have a car, Thatt just stopped.
Think my car can drive into anything.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No, this was way back in the day. Ah right, yeah,
although even now I think anyway. And then he got
out and he's just effident and jeffident, and I was like,
I was like, did he ever got you? No, he
was just he was just nutting off. He's like, oh
fucking And I was like, I'd see it. Made apologize.
You crashed him and I didn't apologize. And then he goes.
I fucking knew where they made this fucking guard park.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
This was it happened, was the car parks, with the
car parks, the infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
It's the infrastructures fault that you drove from about one
hundred meters away.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I blame, and then I blame the tarmac. I blame
the bloody greens. Anyone recently reversed a car without a reverse?
A camera everyone every day, Okay, I've got cameras and
I've lost the ability. The other day, I was in
a car I can't remember whose it was. Oh that's right.
(12:29):
It was over on waki and there was a family
friends car.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Just just a relatable about driving cars with cameras on.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It didn't have it didn't have a camera and sorry,
I'm just being relatable. And I had to reverse, not you,
and I was like, how do you do this again?
But now I think looking back and reversing was actually
quite good for your supplety, Like I can't really turn
(12:59):
in anymore.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
That's the reason why I do it every day.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You keep yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Really really really fucking hate because no, no, no, when
you are reversing using your cameras, and obviously and in
town as well, you can use shop windows so you
can see exactly how far you've got between you and
the car behind you. Is when there's someone sitting in
the car behind you and they they think you must
(13:28):
be a moron and have no idea where your caracs
are and you get I don't know, like a foot
away and they're.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Just like hog And then you look at them and you're.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Like and they're like what do you do? And I'm like,
I just in the situations you you you put a
reverse and you drive into them. Yeah, is that what
you like? You wander found and then you just floor
it straight into them. What if the gang members, well
even more so.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It's time to decide whether you're a man or a mouse.
You write that, fight, write down fight, gang members techniques,
gang member you seek? He just cold kai We sure
that's so good? Yep.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Go on the weekend and do something to again.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Then can you delete that?
