(00:22):
it was.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
But before we get stuck into that, we're going to
say welcome back Jeremy Wells. He's been on an adventure
to the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, it's nice to be back. Thanks for thanks for
welcoming me back with such open arms this morning. It
was so nice to walk into the studio and you
guys were there with your arms up. Yeah, like a
guard of honor as I walked down. Hell, you do it.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
We didn't want to give you a frosty reception, so
we decided all to rally together and just sort of
put a brave face on.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Brought it to you to my eye and playing the
national anthem as I entered as well. It just kept
off what has been a wonderful couple of weeks from
our key Olympians.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Speaking of national anthems, we'll talk about it a minute,
but Lydia co I listen to the national alanthe them
on the year, on the winners, on the winners. What
do you call that once? Yeah, theodium Jesus forgot the
word podium. But that one tier coming down the side
of her eye, Oh my god, that that had me
pissing my face.

Speaker 1 (01:13):

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So the New Zealand Olympic team have wrapped up their
campaign overnight and there were two more medals to add
to the Hall and the women's Omnium track cycling. Ellie
Williston took out bronze and a gold for Release Andrews
in the women's omnium track, her second Olympic Games medal,

(01:49):
which is pretty impressive. So you got to say, now
I told her medal Telly goes to ten, which is
the most ever. I mean the most ever before was
eight wasn't it nineteen eighty four gold?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was, Yeah, so twenty in total, seven silver and
only three bronze. So when you get more golds than
you do silvers than you get bronzes.

You're having a hell of an Olympics.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
And we finish up just outside the ten in the

he could do and how he can sometimes do it
and sometimes be so far off from doing it. Some
jumps you think this guy can't even jump. Sometimes he's

(02:44):
the greatest in the world.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Wasn't there a couple of times, sorry, Hamish Kerr was
finding himself like on a really low measurement, just missing
a couple and then putting a lot of pressure on himself.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And then he says, he said, I have to I
had to go to dark's dark places to get over.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
You know what, that was a weird thing because he
couldn't jump one particular high minute. We're up even hire.
Then he cleared it by about ten centectors.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, he goes into slow mome mode when he's gonna
when he's gonna do it, you can sort of tell

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh my god. I've been in touch with Fin Butcher.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
We've been trying to line up a bit of chat
with him over the last couple of weeks, and bless him,
he's been very honest about his availability and I said, hey, mate,
how are we looking for a chat on Monday?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
And he said, I got to be honest, mate.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Celebrations in the Olympic village on the camp have gotten
under Anything is possible at the moment, so we'll have
a chat on once he's back in the country.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I think we handle handle on right.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Now where he has absolutely deserved a massive knees up.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
All of them have Newfiger's show Wellington is our only
region not an economic recovery, and your report shows decreasing
inflation and increasing wages across the country, but there are
no signs of improvement for the capital.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
There were no signs of people going to the or
blacks in Wellington either, no signs at all.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
No tickets went selling well leading into it were they no?
But then there was a few walk ups with it
was quite good. Well, I think there was twenty five
thousand people. Oh yeah, and it's thirty five thousand that
sky Stadium, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
That's the telling right Forsyth bar Stadium, Eden Park and
that beautiful new christ Chute Stadium when it opens up.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
You know, was a curse down there in Wellington. We
keep losing, a horrific curse.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
We've won one out of the last seven All Blacks
games in Wellington. Weird, Yeah, weird.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Bring back Athletic Park, I say. And we had a
lud stand.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
We had a great record at at Ethnic Park. We
didn't lose for twenty nine years at Ethic.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
It was great. Nobody wanted to go there. It was brilliant.
And the Warriors playoff hopes are all but gone. For
twenty twenty four thanks to thirty four thirty two golden
point away defeat to the Dolphins, there was fourteenth on
twenty one points with three regular season games and the
buyer remaining, hang on, what do you mean playoff folks
are all but gone? They are gone? Well you've been away, Jeremy.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
We've paid so many must win games. You can't tell
me they've still got a chance after that. All but gone.
That's one of the teams falls off. As Warriors fans,
what we are now one hundred percent focused on is
just how many tickets we can sell to go and
see them, because we can win that we can pack
out Gohart Stadium, you know, and that's the victory. We

(09:35):
can definitely secure as fans.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, the Warriors coffers, so I can good, aren't they?

Speaker 7 (09:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Absolutely, we'll be back next year. We're on board. That's
all good. That's fine, mister Brightside.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Then Matt and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
The Wonderful World of a huge journey on public transport.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
That sounds exciting. There's a go called William Hway and
he's loved public transport all his life. Really, he works
at Translink, which is transportation authority in Vancouver, and he decided,
the forty year old systems engineer, he challenged himself to
travel from Vancouver to Tijuana, Mexico, just on public transport. Wow.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
So basically you're right through Canada, right through America, right
through Mexico all.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
The way down. And those are countries that aren't renowned
for their public transport. You know, when you think about
Europe and you think about trains and all that sort
of stuff, they don't have high speed trains. So he
set out on the twenty fourth of June and it
took him nine days down the US Pacific coast. He
had some rules, no overnight buses, so none of those
super dodgy greyhound buses that everybody has those sexual experiences on,

(10:47):
but steady yep, and no overnight trains were allowed, and
walking between bus stops had to be kept to a
minimum okay, although he did do a bit of walking
between bus stops actually, So when it came to a
crossing international borders, mister Hwai said that he crossed them
by fot because he had to because a lot of
the buses didn't go over. At the US Canada border,
he said he was met with skepticism by border agents

(11:10):
when he tried to explain what he's doing. They said,
why on earth are you doing this? He said, because
I just love public transport. And when he got to
the more well traveled route between San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico,
he said there was generally more foot traffic at the
southern border and totally spent three hundred and thirty three
dollars on bus tickets. Wow that's jeap, Yeah wow. And

(11:31):
he's got some advice if anyone else wants to set
off on a tour like this, be careful of taking
too much luggage because apparently the luggage racked racks aren't
particularly good.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
So nine days, yeah, to get from Canada from Vancouver
all the way down to Tiana Tijuana, Mexico. So that's
about the same time as will take to get from
New Lynn into Ye de Mark.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah it's Auckland.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's so funny you say that, because last Sunday I thought,
you know what, Look, I had a couple of drinks
at work and left my car and the CBD, and
I thought, I'll take some public transport back into the CBD.
This would be a fantastic thing to do. I don't
get to do it very often. You know, Open Transport
will love this. I need to start using public transport
a lot more, like I see billboards everywhere tell them.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
To use public transports. I'm going to do it.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Hit to the train station, twenty minute walk, get my
backpack on your beauty. I know the trains are down
for the day actually, and on a Sunday, so right. Yeah,
but tougher and Auckland to travel anywhere on the public transport, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Straight in and over and wasn't that expensive And we
got there in about ten minutes. So all good. Problem
is where do you go? Where do you do pooh,
that's the big question for someone who's doing that sort
of stuff. And he did them in shopping centers, libraries
and community centers like those organizations.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, the libraries, shopping centers and community centers will be
happy about that.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah. What a wonderful world we live in. It is amazing,
isn't it? Yeah? Absolutely? But on you William Whay.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
The Mat and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Did you watch Lydia Coe when goal for New Zealand?
It was phenomenal Lydio Co.

Speaker 10 (13:09):
There has been a household name here in New Zealand
for well over a decade. Co puts through.

Speaker 12 (13:14):
And it's down a golden glow for Lydia comb o
runner up in Rio two back in Tokyo, Oh and
a top of the podium in Parish. The fairy tale
is complete. Lydia Co is an Olympic champion.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
The fairy tale motif continued in her interviews after she
was saying that it was a real cindrella moment for
her and she just dreamed of this and thought she'd
never be a person standing on the podium. And she's
so good on the mic, she's so pro and everything
she does and when she was when that one tear
came out of her right eye when she was on
the podium, was the national anthem played, tears came out

(13:58):
of both my eyes.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Great way from hearing great work from the Commentator're gonna
say with.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
The let's go again the Tokyo was that plan because
let's go Rio, Let's count the rhymes.

Speaker 10 (14:09):
Here in a household name here in New Zealand for
well over a decade, CO parts through.

Speaker 12 (14:16):
And it's down a golden glow for Lydia co runner
up in RIO two back in Tokyo and a top.

Speaker 10 (14:26):
Of the podium in Parish.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
So he kind of did something with the poe with
the podium as well. There was definitely an o thing
going on there that was very nice, very poetic.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Was that written by eminem that that level of internal rhyme?

Speaker 1 (14:39):
That was pretty good?

Speaker 2 (14:40):
But I thought what the I was watching on sky
Sport and had a different comment commentary and the commentator
on Skysport not sure it was some British guy said
Lydia Coe has gone from unknown to prodigy, from prodigy
to winner, from winner to champion, from champion to star,
from start to legend.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And now from legend to immortal. Wow, that's a lot
of things she's transformed from. She's been on a real journey.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Okay, how good to have the set though? Would you
rather have She's got a bronze of silver and a gold.
Yeah that is almost cooler than having three goals because
that on the.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Wall, well looks.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
So freaking cool. Bronze, silver, gold and shows progression.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, okay, would you rather have that? Or do you
have Lisa Carrington's what is it?

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Eight?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Well eight and the bronze eight eight? Eight goals in
the bronze I reckon, I mean eight golds?

Speaker 6 (15:32):
That.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Where is she going to put those eight goals? Oh? Yeah, yeah?
Where would you put them? You need them down a hallway?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Well, anyone that comes down for dinner wants to see them,
so you need to have them.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
You need to have them on display.

Speaker 3 (15:43):

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Democracy manifest He met him, Guy Williams. Yeah, he's been

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Spent a lot of time with him and rural Queensland
very few, no New Zealanders, No Jack Carlson like Guy
Williams does.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yes, the Matt and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I tell you who weren't champions on the weekend, and
that's the All Blacks thirty eight thirty they lost to
Argentina at Sky Stadium. There are two.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I mean the All Blacks were twenty fifteen at
halftime and it seemed like it was going to be
one of those games against Argentina when we just you know,
put thirty points on them, but not to be No No.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
That wasn't. So it's the second loss to Argentina and
from the All Blacks in a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
So third loss of all time because we lost and
we've lost in Argentina, We've lost in christ Church, now
we've lost in Wellington, the Curse of Wellington.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Wellington Stadium, the Caketon, we've only lost. We've only won one.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
And seven All Blacks fixtures there one and seven and
Eden Park. We can't lose at Edon Park? Do we
just play all our games at Eden Park?

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Don't say that it's going to be controversial. It's a
controversial comment.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
No, No, I went down and watched the All Blacks
at for South Bar Stadium. That's a great place to
have an All Blacks game.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I think that's Apparently the weather leading into that test,
not not the not the first day, like not the
actual Saturday, not the Friday, but apparently it was horrific
and that affected the All Blacks are not the Argentina Wow,
consideringly affect the crowd because it's you've got to walk
along those concourses to get you basically get assaulted by
weather along those concourses. It was a tough one.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Will as the lowest turnout to an rmal X game
in a very very long time. So yeah, the Orblecs
remained without a win in Wellington since two thousand oh
wow and eighteen. I had this interesting experience because we
were calling the game on the ACC, on Sky and
on Radio Hodaki, me and g Lane, but because of
the Olympics, all the all the channels were moved around.

(18:26):
We're normally in a particular place, but we weren't. We
had to be put in another place. And the place
we were put on Sky was the place that plays
in all clubs.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Corporate box. Are you joking? No, you're joking you know pubs?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh no, And a lot of people accidentally ended up
on there by no fault of their own. And while
we did say look this, you might want to go
to the missionary position, you might want to look for
the main coverage, a lot of people didn't get that memo.
So I was looking at the text machine as me
and Glane were calling the game, and there was there
was a bit of hate, but it was there was

(19:00):
an avalanche of hate.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Okay, And that that point you realize that something was
a miss.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I didn't, I didn't I just thought that this is
an all best game. Maybe we've got a lot of
people listening, but we did say, look puss off to
the other coverage.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
This is the alternative coverage, not knowing that.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
People were it was being forced on them against their will.
And because there's been a little trouble with the ACC,
we've had an alarm put in to try and rain
down rain Well, we haven't. It's been imposed on us
to try and sort of rain in some of Gelane's successes.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
And listen to this.

Speaker 14 (19:29):
Here, Santiago Carere is the number ten or Argentina asked
for a new Ball's got a new one. It's good
look a man there, Santiago Canare is.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Actually both Cananis brothers. Poor Argentina.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
That's sexus sexst.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I was just saying that good looking he is.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
So you're tuning into Watch the All Blacks, and there's
this parnishing alarm going off every time Glane says something
like goblin clock. It's it was there must have been challenging.
And so me and g Lame were down doing some
singing in christ Church yesterday and we get into you know,
we picked up the airport. The guy's got our names.

(20:08):
We get into the car that's driving us to the
ground and the guy goes Barbe goes, who are you?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
What are you doing? He goes, oh, Christ, you weren't
the clowns.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Clowns, you weren't the clowns and commentating the game last night.
We're like, yes, yes, we are the clowns that were
commentating that game last night.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
So the alarms didn't help. The alarms didn't naissance. We've
unplugged them.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, yeah, the Mat and Jerry Show concast.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
So last week the Succulent Chinese Meal Guy Jack Carlson
passed away.

Speaker 15 (20:39):
What is the charge eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal.
Oh that's nice. Headlocks up, Yes, I see that.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
You know your kudos and Guy Williams joins us from Edinburgh.
Guy you knew Jack Culson, also known as the Succulent
Chinese Meal Guy. Most people thought he had already toed
How did you get to know him?

Speaker 16 (21:01):
I just always had a bucket list of like dream
people to meet, Karen from Stokes Valley, the Waiting for
a Mate Guy and of course Succulent Chinese Meal Democracy manifest.
And I thought he was dead, as you said, because
the Daily mail, and some trash tabloids reported that wrongly.
They said he was a Hungarian chess master. And it

(21:22):
wasn't until he popped up selling a wine called get
Your Hands Off My Pinot. And once I found that wine,
now I was on a bee line to track this
man down because it was honestly a bucket list.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
It was a dream of mine to meet him.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
And what was he like when you first meet him?
It must have been insane laying eyes on him.

Speaker 16 (21:43):
Yeah, especially because we're just flown over from New Zealand.
We'd come via the tavern. We knew the town where
he was, but we didn't know exactly where he lived.
So we went to the tavern and there was a
man there who was in jail with him, and the
man who was in jail house why he was in jail,
And he said murder. Oh, it was crazy, right. It
turns out he wasn't directly murder, he was accessory to murder.

(22:04):
So we had a big laugh about that, and then
it went on my mary way. I went out to
the bush and I ran into the man from the video.
It was crazy to meet him. It was about eleven
o'clock at night in the middle of the raggedest bush.
He's in a shed surrounded by paintings. It was like
a fever dream. And he was incredibly drunk. So the
first time I met him, it was a real let

(22:26):
down because he was so drunk he could barely like
string a sentence together. It was a massive never meet
your heroes And what was.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Your opening line to him?

Speaker 16 (22:33):
Yeah, I immediately, unfortunately started like kind of speaking in
his voice, so I was like, hello, good sound, and yeah,
he was hammered. So we had to come back the
next day and when I sat down with him, we
got to interview him for about three hours. He's one
of my favorite people that I've ever interviewed. He has

(22:55):
lived a thousand lives. He was a career criminal who's
been in jail of his eighty years in prison, and
he's done everything, and he's been everywhere.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
An unbelievable person.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
What I've always wondered about him, And since I found
out that you'd found him, when did he find out
his early nineties arrest was now a viral sensation And
what did he think about it?

Speaker 16 (23:17):
Bro He honestly was like kind of annoyed because it
meant that peop would just annoy him at the pub,
but he didn't find out. It actually didn't go viral
until like twenty twelve when it got put on YouTube,
so it hasn't been that long, and he didn't realize
that he was famous for so many years. And it
wasn't until like tektok nerds started heading him up a

(23:38):
few years ago that he really kind of realized it
was significant. But he's had so many crazy things happen
in his life. Honestly, the succulent Chinese meal video is
probably the least interesting about that. I saw some people
doing a documentary about him, and I hope they go
into this because me and him were JACTU. This is
actually kind of crazy, but I've just been over in
Brisbane a few months ago. I saw him just before

(23:59):
he went into hospital and we started recording a podcast
without even men getting into my scripted questions. He told
one of the most amazing stories I've ever told. I
didn't even ask him about this. His wife was murdered
when she tried to help her ex partner escape from jail,
and she helped him. They successfully escaped from jail, but
then her ex partner and his gang murdered her in

(24:21):
the Australian Wilderness.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
It was the most unbelievable story I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, what do you reckon? It was true?

Speaker 16 (24:27):
Absolutely, it's true. You can look it up now, look
up Eve Carlson. It's on Google.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yeah, she was.

Speaker 16 (24:32):
She was a well known lover of a couple of
these criminals, and she was married to Jack at the time.
And she said, I'm going to help makes boyfriend escape
from jail, and Jack was for some reason fine with that.
It was just I just could not believe what I
was hearing. I was I forget about the succulent Chinese
meal story. He's thatt Man has lived a thousand miles.

Speaker 15 (24:50):
Gentlemen, this is the Bacross manifest. Have a look at
the headlock that chap over. This is the bloke who
got me on the Penish Beople.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
But to go back to the Succulent Chinese meal. He
was arrested a sort of mistaken I dentity situation, so
he was taken back to the station. He'd said all
these things about his limp penis, et cetera. What happened then,
did they get back to the station and go we've
got the wrong guy and let him go, or did
they bust him then on Dine and Dash or there's
so many rumors about it.

Speaker 16 (25:24):
Yeah, it's all pretty hazy because it happened, it became
famous so many years after that. The details are hazy
the best. There's actually a book about it called Rampage,
because it's about all his criminal endeavors. It's an amazing
book by Mark Dapfan. But as far as I know,
the police account is that he was like theatrical outside
when the cameras were on, and as soon as he

(25:45):
got inside the police car and they drove off, he
was completely normal. Chin He completely sobered up, and it
was actually a real non event because the police kind
of realized I think they've got the wrong guy a
little bit, but he did have a lot of criminal charges,
so they let him walk. He just left on bail
like a day later. It was kind of a little
bit of a non event. But I do think the

(26:07):
details are hazy because he is a career criminal. His
career for most of his life was, as he said,
blowing the doors off safes. So he'd break into movie
theaters and used jealig knite to blow doors off safe
So he was the famous criminal known to the police,
but apparently according to him, on that day, he admits
to a lot of crimes, but he does not believe

(26:28):
that he was stealing any credit cards or ripping off
any Chinese restaurants. He reckons he paid for that succulent
Chinese meal.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
And where does the theatrics come from? Because he sounded
like a Shakespearean actor, So does he have any experience
in that area?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Did he do amateur dramatics?

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Bro It's crazy, It's like a Pandora's box.

Speaker 16 (26:48):
And it's unfortunately a good advertisement for jail because his
story is actually a tragedy where he's had so many
so much brutality in jail that is kind of like
what led him to a life of alcoholism. But on
the positive side, he learned how to paint beautifully. He
loved painting beautiful woman. And he joined the theater group
and the prison with some of Australia's best playwrights and.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
That's where he learned how to act. And that's where
that amazing voice comes from.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Wow, because he seems well read.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Yeah, he's so eloquent.

Speaker 16 (27:18):
He talks of that theatrical voice, and he was He's
one of those people that was kind of a genius
if he could just sober up for a couple of hours.
His paintings of naked women were absolutely spectacular. But what
I found hilarious is when I saw them was he
would put so much detail into the breasts, into the detail.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
Into the face, whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh tell me you bought one.

Speaker 16 (27:42):
We bought a product, we did. We bought for two
thousand Australian dollars. We bought a painting he did of
his arrest, which I thought.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Millions worth a lot of money. I'd pay a lot
of money for that. I'm excited about that existing. And guy,
you spent a lot, a lot of time with them.
I understand you've actually recorded an entire New Zealand Today
podcast with him.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
Yeah. Yeah, so we started this. Kind of the tragedy
of it is that we're kind of halfway through.

Speaker 16 (28:10):
I've been over to Brisbane a couple of times he
lives just out an hour outside in the bush, to
record a podcast with him. And as I said, the
stories he has to tell are literally unbelievable. A lot
of them are verifiable because they're in the newspaper. Yeah,
he's just an amazing personality. I genuinely did get to
know him a little bit, and I am very sad
that he's gone because he was a lovely person to me.

(28:31):
He was so warm to everyone that I knew. And
I know he's got a check in pass, but I'm
really going to miss Jack. And I think he's got
a lot of good friends in Kamunya who are going
to miss him too. He's an Australian icon.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Guy Williams, thank you so much of your time this morning.
Bears have luck with everything.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Cheers, guys is Guy Williams Farm Edinburgho's over there, the
Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the moment talking about Jack Carlson, his friends.
Somebody got to know.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, and he's got a whole podcast with the man
coming up. Guy Williams and the Sucklinch these meal men.
And you can see a lot of good stuff on
New Zealand Today on their YouTube channel.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's good show. It's a great show.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Mattith, Jeremy Wells, The Leading Cherry Show.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
It's seven thirty three. Time for your radio Hidarchy News
Headlines with Jeremy Wells. The Paris Olympics are coming to
a close. Dameisa Carrington and fan Butcher are leading out
keyw athletes as the flag bearers for the closing ceremony.
Chef de Mishawn Nigel Avery says it's one of our
best Olympic campaigns ever, and he would know he's a
chef this heal. It ends the Olympics with ten gold,

(29:33):
seven silver and three bronze, putting us eleventh on the
gold medal talley and fourth per capita. How come people
aren't saying this is their greatest ever because eighty four
we got eight, so we've got ten, so this is
this is our greatest Olympics either, right?

Speaker 10 (29:47):
It is?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
And how good Hamish Kerr winning a medal in the
stadium and the France and the athletics. I mean, that's phenomenal.
That was That was nerve wracking to watch and I like.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
The way that he put his cards on the table
and said, you know what, I'm going to go for gold.
Someone's going to get gold, someone's going to get silver.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Some people have criticized the American that was because they
decided to go for gold and if they'd shared the
gold in America would have got forty one golds and
they would have beaten China because China and America ended
up on forty even though America had got more metals,
so they're overall on top.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
But good on them. That's the spirit. You go there,
you go for the end.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Sharing the gold doesn't what either of them wanted to do.
They went, let's fricking go for it. Yeah, and Hamish
Kerr came through. Yeah, and it was a great spectacle.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I what a great jump off, as I mean, forget
about any kind of penalty shootout or something. The jump
off's the best thing ever. It's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
They keep having to lower the height because they're so
shagged from jumping, and Hamish Kre either looks like he
could jump anything or he could jump nothing.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
So it's hard to watch. Yeah. And in sport, the
Warriors playoff hopes are mathematically gone after a thirty four
to thirty two golden point loss to the Dolphins in
the NRL match in Brisbane, the fourteenth on the ladder,
and now can't even back them at the TBD whin
the NROL Grand Final.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Wow, that's gone. Yeah, Well that was a rough way
to end a rough two games to end that chance.
But you know, you look, as I was saying before,
we have more people come to watch their game. So
we we express our success in our championships at championship
noess is that a word as Warriors fans by just

(31:18):
selling out go Hard Stadium.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Having said that, I do actually have a couple of
tickets to sale two weeks of course you do. Yeah,
we'll be going to that. The thing is we've just lost.
So now is so many narrow losses? Is said that
she played reasonably well, yeah, she's a tough competition the
NRL The Nation Jerry Show podcast. So submissions are now
open for Eden Park's consent application to host up to

(31:41):
twelve concerts per calendar year, featuring up to six different
headline artists. And on the line is Eden Parks CEO.
Next saw note good morning, next, So what would the
benefits of twelve concerts be for Auckland? You reckon?

Speaker 17 (31:56):
The benefits are far greater and thanks for your time
this morning. And just economic there's three thousand jobs that
are created. Talking to the hotel industry after pink ninety
eight percent, I can see across our hotel network in Auckland,
but also you look at businesses, small businesses in Kingsland
and Dominion Road, one last week said to me, twelve
consent of Eden Park would pay the rent for a

(32:18):
twelve month period.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
How do you make a submission on this, So it's
a very quick exercise.

Speaker 17 (32:25):
You go to Edenpark dot co dot nz, show your voice,
you click on a link to Auckland Council. We want
people to showcase that Auckland is a great city and
having major events makes it part and parcel of the
city that we all want to live, stay, play and
work in.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Nownk.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
I've lived in Mount Eden for close to twenty years
and I've never met a person who doesn't want as
many concerts as they can get at Eden Park.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Surely, surely there's no resistance to this.

Speaker 17 (32:51):
Well, what we've seen over the last four years is
that we deliver exceptional events and whether it be Guns n'
Roses or Coldplay, Pink or Billy Joel, it's no different.
It's relentless planning. It provides great amenity for the area,
and I agree. I've had very few people express negativity.
One person recently, he said to me previously I was

(33:14):
a detractor. I've rented the house out for seven thousand
dollars for the three nights of Cold play and you're
paying from a trip to Europe.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well that's the thing, and why you want the twelve
concerts and up to six artists is because artists need
to have more than one night here, like you've got
three with Coldplay for it to be worth their while.
I mean Tata couldn't come down here because she needs
to play three nights in a row to make it
financially viable.

Speaker 17 (33:40):
Well all those tell us Swift fans listening to your
program this morning, I'd encourage them to get on board
and register.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
Or is that you just?

Speaker 17 (33:49):
Is that you, Matt But from my perspective, you look
at it and you say, we're now it's sick this year,
so I may as well pack up shop. I can't
book any more shows this year. So there are tours
that will be announced between now and the end of
the year that could have come to New Zealand that
won't come to New Zealand. Now, I think that is tragic.
We want an economy, we know. I'm actually the Breakfast

(34:12):
this morning with Wayne Brown and Simmon Brown talking about
the state of Auckland. Now, bringing concerts twenty five million
of economic benefits to the city is a good thing.
And we can't allow this. We just want to be enabled.
We're like a hotel that can operate two days a week.
It can't be commercially viable without this change net.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Once again, how do people make submissions?

Speaker 17 (34:34):
I just encourage all your listeners today to go Edenpark
dot co dot nz, show your voice, take the two
minutes to fill out the form support our concert application twelve.
Who knows in Tottenham they're saying thirty constants a year.
That's never going to be the case in Auckland, but
we hope that we're in a position that if we
can get up to twelve a year and makes eden
Park sustainable and we'll be here for another hundred years.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Eden Backsea and Nixawna, thanks for your time this morning
and that and Jerry podcast. So we've been trying to
find New Zealand's greatest route thanks to Panhead's Hazy IPA
and I see, we've had a lot of suggestions coming in.
You can you can text us your best route to
three four eight three We need to do is text

(35:17):
route or you can call us on one hundred Hardacre
Who's send us a talk back on the iHeartRadio app
and this morning Matt, I can see a lot of
votes coming in four State Highway eight sorry six as
a best route from Ethel to Hearst. Have you seen
that route Ethel to Heart? Didn't you slide off the

(35:39):
road on that route and end up in some gravel
at one point? Yeah? We did one of those truck
stops that sits off through the Halst pass there, and
the old have and I were traveling through there in
a Ford XR six, red Ford XR six and Mike goes,
what's this thing here? This truck gravel thing, and then
just went speeding straight into it and then the wheels
just sunk come to a stop. That's what it is, actually,

(36:02):
stop trucks if your breaks don't work. But like of
all the places that your breaks is gonna work, there's
just one thing that's going to save you. Like what
happens if your breaks fail there? Like okay, great, there's
a truck stop that stops you. But surely your breaks
could fail any other place. So how did you get
the car out of there? We had to get someone
to tell us out. Well, we'll take a while to
get someone to an area like that.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Wouldn't it absolute disaster? It's one of those things, isn't it.
We go what, and then afterwards you go why did
I do that? Why the hell did I do that?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Totally here's a suggestion coming in for State Highway seventy eight.
Gotta love a short, quick route. State Highway seventy eight,
New Zealand state highway connecting Central Timido with its port.
It's New Zealand's shortest state highway, New Zealand's shortest route,
with a length of nine hundred meters. I mean, that's good.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
That's gonna be doing pretty well if nine hundred meters
make it. Because you've been talking a lot about mash
how long can a route be? And some people have
been trying to claim the entire length of the South
Island as the route that highway seks but I'd say
under a kilometer is probably too short to be in
New Zealand's greatest route.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Well, I have to ask my father, Gordon Kenny, because
last week when we mentioned State Highway Sex is he
doesn't talk to me much about the show, but he
does listen and he gave me a buzz. He was
absolutely spewing at the fact that State Highway Sex is
a viable option.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
For New Zealand's greatest route.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
He was fuming at the length of it, So I
think maybe nine hundred meters might not pass the bill
for Gordon Kenny either.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, what about Tims corimand or State Higway twenty five beautiful?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Someone says great route and it just keeps coming through
over and over again.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Eighty five the pig route. So you can text your
best route. Just text route to three for eight.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Three The Nation Jerry Show Podcast, The Nation Jerry Show Podcast.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Great pleasure to welcome to the Mantain Jurish Show. ACC
head g Lane embroiled in another controversy over the weekend.
I believe ACC head Julane, oh.

Speaker 5 (37:49):
You listen, a big thank you to the New Zion
Olympic team for slapping that massive dead fish in the
middle of the table and taking all the attention away
from the All Blacks and the Warriors. I want a
master stroke. I hope they've seen them their Christmas cards
this year. But look, yeah, look, there's a little bit
of controversy on Saturday night our ACC coverage of the
All Blacks for the time we were on Sky Sports Select.

(38:13):
Due to the Olympics. We're usually on fifty nine, Channel
nine out WI. It's quite hard to find. You've got
to put your that ot cod in.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
That's where we should be.

Speaker 9 (38:21):
That's where we should be.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
So we were on channels fifty and unfortunately we were
on after the Australia South Africa Test match, so every pub,
club and rest home, which we found out later on,
we're sitting down to watch Australia play South Africa as
a precursor to the All Blacks and they left it
on Sky Sports Select.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
And let's just say the text machine and at the
ACC studio was running hot with abuse.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
I mean, there's only one way to say that this abuse.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
And I get it because if you're in a rest
home or a club or a corporate box and you
don't know that this isn't the main coverage, like the
world has collapsed. You've got g Lane saying terrible things
and to be fear you were actually had the shackles
on because you've had your own controversy. So there was
some restrictions put on you. But I think actually the

(39:14):
restrictions it's like the cure was worse than the disease.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Yeah, look, there was we had some alarm set due
to some perceived indiscretions and some parts broadcast. We did
have a bunch of sexism alarms and downstairs alarms that
just went off all the first half. We couldn't control them,
so that really upset a lot of the boomers as well.
And we called a taxi. You and I called a
taxi and the Texic go. Did you hear those bloody

(39:41):
clowns on Sky Sports?

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Yeah, me and Glamee were down in christ Church doing
some more commentary on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Yeah, you guys, weren't those clowns?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Were it?

Speaker 1 (39:51):
And we're like, yeah, we were those clowns. We were
those clowns. But you get it, you get it. And
let's listen to this alarm that was going off.

Speaker 14 (39:58):
Santiago number ten or Argentina asked for a new balls,
got a new one.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
It's good looking man there.

Speaker 14 (40:06):
Santiago Canade is actually both Canada, his brothers for Argentina.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
That sexus success. I was just saying how good looking
he is?

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Ye see, that was the absolute no objectification of anyone
rule that we now have at the ACC imposed upon JESEZ.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
That's going to be tough, that's going to be tough
to get through. Isn't it.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
It was tough. We managed to We managed to disable
it in the second half quite successfully because the second
half was way looser.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Raiser Robinson would be smarting after that thirty eight thirty win.
But also did you see the Australian breakdancer that Reagun
who can't break dance at all, but was over at
the Olympics. So Jesus raised will be looking at that going.
I could have been over at the Olympics winning medals.
If that's the standard of break dancing that's coming out.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
Would have got would have met Hey look, Reygun, I
mean look, we talked about it. Matt Heath. I don't
want to join the pilon on Reagae because I think
she's already being piled on well and truly, but I
think we talked about it. This performance was so disgraceful
it should riscin and cancel out every single Australian's gold,
all eighteen gold.

Speaker 18 (41:12):
That all that hard work, all that hard work in
Australia has been wiped out by Raygun's through hopping kind
of fits that she was having.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
On the ground that it was great, well.

Speaker 6 (41:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I've been trying to find out what the qualification as
and how you get to the Olympics for Raygun to
get there. But so if we do, if her performance
does cancel out Australia's medals and that puts New Zealand
into the top ten eleven on the medal table. With
Raygun canceling Australia's performance, that puts us.

Speaker 1 (41:43):
At number ten.

Speaker 5 (41:45):
I reckon my stop clamp, my stop and clap would
would have been her.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Not the offemous stomp clamp has had you kicked out
a number of nightclubs over the years. I'm having a
look as well. We're officially out of our misery in
the NRL too, lost to the Dolphins thirty four to
thirty two over the weekend. That's the end.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Yeah, a little bit relieved that we've got the double
tap on the back of the head to be on
that one. It was looking pretty pretty dire. But again,
they gave us hope, didn't they. They gave us hope
drawing it back to a golden point and then losing
on their Yeah, let's start planning for twenty five.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah, mate, it's not about getting into the top eight.
It's about how many seats you sell. At your stadium,
and we're selling a lot of seats at our stadium.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
All right.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
He came to the table, top of the table.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Top of the table on tickets sold per capita. Thanks
very much, acchead g Lane Ah you.

Speaker 10 (42:36):
Shit, Matty.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
Jeremy Wells the man, Jerry Sha, it's eight thirty three,
time for your ladio Hodarchy News headlines with Jeremy Wells.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
New Zealand's most successful Olympics have all times coming to
a close in Paris. From French musicians Billy Eilish, Snoopdogg
and the Red Dot Chili Peppers are all performing in
the closing ceremony. New Zealand is bringing home twenty medals,
a record ten gold, seven silver and three bronze. Do
you have to de clear medals? That puts us on
eleventh on the final gold medal table, ahead of Canada.

(43:06):
And it was biggest start and many more.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Can I just say as well, I feel a little
bit guilty now that we've had the most successful Olympic
Games of all time. It was about a week ago,
on this very frequency that I was saying that I
was a little bit concerned that this could be the
biggest disaster we've had in the Olympic history. Now a
week on, I just am very impressed and very amazed
that we managed to pull it back and not only
just get to where we've been in the past, but
have the most successful Olympic Games of all time.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
And speaking of the closing ceremony, how much money would
they have paid or offered Daft Punk to perform, you know,
because daff Punk have retired, but getting those two helmuted
guys out there, they would.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Have given them anything.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
The biggest French musicians of all time outside of Serge Gainsburg.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
They don't care. They don't care, and the.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Sage Gainsburg is both dead and has that problem with
that Lemon Incests song here. But also if I was
daft Punk, I didn't want to play it, So I
just have the helmets on another couple of DJs and
get them out.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
That's good point.

Speaker 6 (44:01):
That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
That's a good point. They day a lack of consumer
spending and Wellington's being blamed for a poor turnout at
the weekend's All Blacks game. The sky Stadium test match
saw the lowest attendance for All Black's home game in decades.
Not that's interesting. So what they're blaming a lack of
welshumer spending, Well, what's happening in Wellington? From what I understand,
Wellington's the only economic region in New Zealand which has
not experienced an upturn in the last couple of months.

(44:24):
I think it's all of the job losses in the
public sector right and obviously in Wellington there's so many
public sector jobs that are going on. And if people
have lost their jobs and they are not spending money
in hospital, they're not spending I'm told without actually being
haven't been to Wellington in the last few months, that
things are things are reasonably depressed.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Right, because I was just in christ Church yesterday and
that town is booming and growing and there's so much
activity down there. You see christ Church changing, It's becoming
quite an amazing city down there, so much positivity.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Yeah, in Wellington, you turn off the tap or the
government money, it's not good. I see some green shoots
around Auckland as well. You know, the Warrior's coach Andrew
Webster is holding out hope aside can sneak into NRL's
topper show. Good on you, web Good on you on you.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I mean it's been taken off the t A B
as a potential bet. But good on you, good on
your Andrew Webster what I call him Graham.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
There's a lot of Grahams in league League, there's a
lot of Grames. He should be grab where you got him,
Graham Webster. From now on, the playoff hopes have taken
another hit. Could to see other thirty four thirty two
golden point A way to feet to the Dolphins and
the Warriors are fourteenth on twenty one points for three
regular season games and by remaining yeah yeah, as Matt said,

(45:41):
you can't even bet on them as a Grand final
winners at the TA B. So Graham Webster has probably
got a couple of questions to answer there.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
But if you check out sportsbet dot com dot Au,
you can back them to win the whole thing at five.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Hundred and one to one, or to get into the
top eight one hundred and seventy six to one.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
But that's not we We've sold a lot of tickets.
We've sold out Gohard Stadium every freaking game. So shove
that up, you bloody Aussie bloody clubs, all right.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
The Mass and Jerry Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
So the Popular Sports quiz show Game of Two Halves
is making a fresh return to our screens. Well I
never Yes, Skuy's partnered with the ACC to create a
fresh version of the iconic show and the alternative commentry collectors.
Matt Heath, who will be one of the team captains,
says everyone that the AC she just loves getting into
the weeds of everything vaguely sports related. That's what I

(46:34):
sound like the ACC does. Game of Two Arms is
the ideal opportunity for us to put forward our expertise
in sports adjacent content, both from the past and the present.
This is a great press release. I don't remember writing this.
We're all so excited to be using the show as
an opportunity for our newest members to join the team.
So there we go. Sky Sports presenter Laura mcgaldrick's going

(46:56):
to be quiz Master and she joins us. Now, good morning, Laura, Love.

Speaker 10 (47:03):

Heath as one of the team captains? Who's the other
team captain?

Speaker 17 (47:13):
Just being told that this is what I'm doing. I'll
pumped to be working with Maddie. Will I favor him,
given how much I love him hard to stay as
a team captain. Will I take bribes?

Speaker 10 (47:26):
Absolutely?

Speaker 17 (47:28):
But you know it'll be it'll be good to see
how much I can run my career into the ground here.

Speaker 4 (47:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, I said we've got ten episodes. This is ten
ten episodes. Wow, I'm not sure you're aware of that.
So seven thirty Thursday evening, Laura's when you're going to
have to be there? Is it seven thirty Thursday evening?
Not this Thursday evening?

Speaker 5 (47:49):
It's not this Sursday because I'm busy.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
No, it'd be great to get to spend some time
with you, Laura McGoldrick. Of course, you were the original
all one of the original Matt, Jerry and Laura Breakford Show.
So is this the first time we've been broadcasting together
again an official capacity since since back then?

Speaker 17 (48:09):
I think it will be, Maddie and I'm I'm really excited.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, I mean we've we've spent a lot of time
in a drinking capacity together, but not so much time
in a broadcasting capacity.

Speaker 17 (48:19):
Will we mix the both on screen?

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (48:24):

Speaker 5 (48:40):
Hope we don't ruin that completely.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
No, I know it was. It was a loose show,
and I feel like half the time I think they
used to record it in the afternoons on a Monday
afternoon or something, and I feel like half the time
both Matthew Ridge and Mark Ellis would turn up and
there would be no sleep from the weekend sort of
situation papers and bloody good television.
