Speaker 1 (00:02):
So they're looking for a new James Bond.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Amazon MGM Studios has not yet officially announced who's going
to play the next James.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Bond in Bond 26.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So they are going to film it, they just haven't
figured out who exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, they're currently doing some screen tests and auditioning people,
so there's a big casting process going on at the moment.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
When you think James Bond, who's James Bond to you?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Roger Moore.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Roger Moore?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Roger Moore.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Didn't he run the Labour Party in the 60s or something?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
No, that's Mike Moore.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
He ran the Labour Party in the 1990s. Well, 1990, actually.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Roger Randall?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Not Roger Randall. He was on the wing, wasn't he,
for Waikato?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Tane Randall?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Not Tane Randall. He was a former All Black captain
in about 1998. One of the average.
All Black teams that one actually Now he's running for
New Zealand first.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
So Roger Moore Fingerless gloves Roger Moore is that pre
That's pre Pierce Brosnan That's correct Is it pre Sean Connery.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's post Sean Connery But actually Sean Connery did come
back Oh okay But Roger Moore was Octopussy Did you
ever see Octopussy I sure.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Didn't Oh maybe I don't really read the titles For
your eyes only Yeah, again, I don't really read the titles.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh, okay. You don't read the titles?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
No, I just sort of click on the thumbnail.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay. And then Sean Connery came back, I believe, for
Never Say Never Again.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, again.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
One of the great Bond films.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Zoe, for you, who's?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Pierce Brosnan?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I'm a Daniel Craig girlie.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Are you? Yeah. You like him coming out of the sea?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Oh, look, that's just all I remember is those movies
came out when I was a teenager, so he's James
Bond to me.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Certainly better at the shirtless content, Daniel Craig, than, say,
Roger Moore. You didn't see a lot of shirtless content
from Roger Moore. Roger Moore, notoriously terrible runner, ran a little.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Bit like me, actually. Stuff. Yeah, very, very stuff. And
like something that's being shoved up. So, yeah, they're looking
for a new one. Rumored contenders, Jack Barton.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Who?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Jack Barton. Do you know Jack Barton? Callum Turner.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh, now this guy, he's Dua Lipa's missus. Is he? Yeah.
Callum Lipa. That's what they're called.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
How are we feeling about Callum Turner?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, I could see the vision.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Zoe's a big fan. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Jack Loudon? No.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Don't know him.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay. Jacob Elordi? Oh, yep.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Australian gentleman. Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Aaron Taylor-Johnson? And Harris Dickinson.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
This is just old guys read actors that they've never
heard of.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I have never heard of these people.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
I know, but I guess that's why they're looking for
a new one.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Who would you chuck in if you wanted a Kiwi one?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well, that's the thing. Because what are you looking for?
I think that's the thing. You obviously need calmness under pressure.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Hot.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You need hotness. You need deep confidence.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah. You need resilience.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay. I think those are important. A focus. Also, you've
got to be a pants man.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
That's a crucial.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I think that's probably actually number one.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Distracted by females is a huge... That was always a
disappointment for me growing up. I was always like, come on, James.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Focus on the task at hand here. Lock in, brother.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
They'll chuck the honey trap at you and you're falling
for it again.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You're taking it every single time. Come on.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Text me on 3483. I nominate the human smoke show
Ryan Bridge for New Zealand's James Bond.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
From Ryan Bridge today.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah. He's got a bit of a Bond vibe. That's
quite good.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
He's got a bit of something about him.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Is he the stick man we need, though?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, he would, no. He would be distracted by other things.
Is it time for that, though? Maybe. Perhaps, Jerry. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Bond, James Bond, or better yet, P, Winnie P.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
In the double-breasted suit. Is it time for an age-inclusive
James Bond? And it all revolves around the Duke of
Marlborough and Russell.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's a plot to blow up the Duke of Marlborough,
and he's going to foil it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's pretty good. Certainly on the Durries, a la Sean
Connery and Roger Moore.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, I reckon he'd pound a martini as well.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh, he'd be fantastic in a martini. That's actually a
very good suggestion.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'll keep the text coming through. Jesus, one of them
has come through about 100 times.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'll read it for you very shortly.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, the hierarchy hive mind's been activated.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, who would.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Play New Zealand's James Bond if it was a New
Zealand franchise?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's the question. 3403 0800 Hauraki.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So Amazon making a new James Bond film.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Actually, they changed the ownership of that, didn't they?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Because it was owned by the same family for the
longest time, and I think they've sold it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Maybe I read a news story ages ago about that.
Any idea about that?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
No, I would have glossed straight past that. That sounds
boring as hell.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But people have been texting through on 3483, who should
the new New Zealand James Bond be? Boxer David Nyika
would be perfect. He has the looks, great rig, can
look after himself under pressure, the complete package. And there
would be a sick boxing scene in that movie. Way
better than that hour and a half card game shitter
that I had to watch in the Daniel Craig one.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think David Nika is exactly the person that when
the cats away were talking about when they describe a
great big melting pot of potentially what's going to happen
in about 200 years time when humans are all going.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
To mix in together.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, we peaked.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's David Nika is the early example of what that's
going to look like.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We peaked with him. Rory sticks through. Paddy Gower.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, an interesting choice. Do you think he's got the charisma?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Be a good bad guy.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, we're not looking for a bad guy. We're looking
for the hero here.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Speaking of bad guys, Robson's text through said, Mogi is
Bond and Keezy is Mr Bean. A little bit of
makeup on Winnie P, and I think you found your guy.
This text through from Josh Logan. Easily distracted by women?
The confidence that could only come from copper peptides? Surely
Ruda is a shoe-in for New Zealand's James Bond.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Can you imagine Ruda with the coordination going on?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I mean, you've got a ski. Generally, there's a ski
scene somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's a good point. That rules me out.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And he's got to jump out of a plant. You're
asking him to do a whole lot of physical stuff that, unfortunately,
I mean, Ruda, totally, with the vibe, with the charisma.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
With the hairline these days.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
With the hairline. And that's all there with the looks.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But with the singing voice.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But the coordination for me is a major stumbling block.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, and he won't mind me saying this, but we
are talking about a man who has to actively think
about which arm moves with which leg when he goes
for a run.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He's the first person I've ever heard who is in
that situation.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Having said that, undefeated in 4x100 meta relays, as we
all are.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Carl Urban. Carl Urban. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
What about Horty J? There's a lot of love coming
through for Horty J's.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He's got something, Hoity J, but also he'd do quite
a good bad guy.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Grant Katiyama. Now that's a suggestion. Former Hits host. I
believe he's currently still working somewhere. Maybe he's host.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
He's on the lotto ads.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He's on the lotto ads.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Linus Trumpet, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh, that's right. He is too. Rhys Darby. Chris Warner.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm on Dr. Chris Warner. Again, is he too famous
for one character to play another one?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There's a lot of, there's a lot of, Shortland Street
characters coming through. I mean, Lionel Skeggins. I'm not sure
whether Lionel Skeggins could play the New Zealand James Bond.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
What about... There's a lot of love for the Richie
McCores of this world. The Dan Carters.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Do they have the acting ability?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
This one is the one that's activated the Hodaki Hive mind.
The most common name that's been suggested on 3483 is
Lee Hart.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Lee Hart is... New Zealand's answer to James Bond.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I reckon Lee Hart grew up watching Sean Connery as
James Bond. And if you've hung out with Lee Hart,
you'll understand there are a lot of Sean Connery traits
going on there. The eyebrow, the walk, the lean in
in certain situations. I think he's based a larger percentage
of his personality on Sean Connery than what people would imagine,
(08:33):
you know, than what people understand.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
What about this one? Lovely trendy, handsome and mysterious.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah. I mean, great bowler, but can he act? This
is the issue.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Well, yeah, and again, like the climax scene, and it's
him just having to bowl a 10-over spell, you know,
on a dirt tracker. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, for me, so far, the best suggestion on 3483,
Winston Peters.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Horaki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
New James Bond film coming out next year, it'll probably be, actually,
because they're currently casting for who's going to be The
new James Bond. And I'm just having a look at
some of the list of some of the people, some
of the front runners here. Jack Barton, Callum Turner, Jack Loudon,
Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know any of these people. I don't know
any of these people.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I only know Dua Lipa's missus.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Which one's that one?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Callum Lipa.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Callum Turner?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Only because I follow her on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Do you really? Big fan of the music. I'll be too.
Same here, bro. Same here.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
She's bringing disco back. Big fan of Sydney Sweeney's music
as well, actually. That's why I follow her too.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Sure you are. Sure you are.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So I'm just looking at that list and I'm thinking,
I don't know any of these people. Why are there
no New Zealanders on there?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's a great point.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So we asked you this morning on 3483 what New
Zealanders should play James Bond.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Someone said Richard Kahui.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Handsome. Best looking all black of all time.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Anthony Starr.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, he's probably, actually, yeah, I think he tips
Murray Mexton. actually, as best looking All Black of all time.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dan Carter doesn't get around.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Look, I think, look, Hart, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Sonny Bell?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Hart, again, top 10. But Murray Maxted? I mean, he
married Miss Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's hard to argue against marrying Miss Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
He married Miss Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
As an indicator of hotness.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
The man looked like Magnum P.I.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
We'll put Murray Mexted in the running as well then.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, he'd be good.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Lovely Trinity. Yep. Hemibond. Lee Hart.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Lee Hart seems to have been very popular amongst our listeners.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
He's come through a lot, yeah. Paddy Gower, Horty J.
Mike Hosking in a box for him to stand on.
He already has the car. To Mighty Martin for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now, Tamati Martin's a great choice. I love the looks,
but I've never heard Tamati Martin speak.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How does he go asking for a martini shaken, not stirred?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Pretty good, but also the climax of the film would
be a pig hunt.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'm into that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Do people love that, though? Is that going to work
with an international audience?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'd watch that. Pig hunting's a universal experience.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Sure. Sure it is.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You guys don't go pig hunting in Ponsonby?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, not really.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Ponsonby pig hunt?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Not really. We're not big on the ticks.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
What ticks?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Ticks on the back of the neck. Carrying the pig back. Ticks.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I don't know if I've ever seen a tick in
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Haven't you? No. Oh, I've heard that.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The ponsonby ticks, are they a big concern?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I've heard that that's a big thing, is that basically
you're carrying the pig on your back and then all
the parasites jump from the pig to your hair.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah. Maybe in America. I don't know. Is that a
thing in New Zealand?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, I've never pigged on, so I wouldn't have a pig.
How would I know? Don't ask me. So who's the
top of the list? Oh, right.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Probably, do you want me to go through the top five?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yep, top five.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Daniel Faitala.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Ian Stables.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Jack Tame. Yep. Lee Hart.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Tim.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Oh, there we go.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Tim Morrison. Okay. This is the Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Want Gerry and Mania waiting for you every morning?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Switch on auto-download for the Hauraki Breakfast podcast.

Okay. And then Sean Connery came back, I believe, for
Never Say Never Again.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah, again.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
One of the great Bond films.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Zoe, for you, who's?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Pierce Brosnan.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Pierce Brosnan?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. Okay.

Well, he would, no. He would be distracted by other things.
Is it time for that, though? Maybe. Perhaps, Jerry. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Bond, James Bond, or better yet, P, Winnie P.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
In the double-breasted suit. Is it time for an age-inclusive
James Bond? And it all revolves around the Duke of
Marlborough and Russell.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's a plot to blow up the Duke of Marlborough,
and he's going to foil it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's pretty good. Certainly on the Durries, a la Sean
Connery and Roger Moore.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, I reckon he'd pound a martini as well.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh, he'd be fantastic in a martini. That's actually a
very good suggestion.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'll keep the text coming through. Jesus, one of them
has come through about 100 times.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'll read it for you very shortly.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, the hierarchy hive mind's been activated.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, who would.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Play New Zealand's James Bond if it was a New
Zealand franchise?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
That's the question. 3403 0800 Hauraki.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
So Amazon making a new James Bond film.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Actually, they changed the ownership of that, didn't they?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Because it was owned by the same family for the
longest time, and I think they've sold it.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Maybe I read a news story ages ago about that.
Any idea about that?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
No, I would have glossed straight past that. That sounds
boring as hell.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
But people have been texting through on 3483, who should
the new New Zealand James Bond be? Boxer David Nyika
would be perfect. He has the looks, great rig, can
look after himself under pressure, the complete package. And there
would be a sick boxing scene in that movie. Way
better than that hour and a half card game shitter
that I had to watch in the Daniel Craig one.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think David Nika is exactly the person that when
the cats away were talking about when they describe a
great big melting pot of potentially what's going to happen
in about 200 years time when humans are all going.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
To mix in together.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, we peaked.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's David Nika is the early example of what that's
going to look like.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We peaked with him. Rory sticks through. Paddy Gower.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, an interesting choice. Do you think he's got the charisma?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Be a good bad guy.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, we're not looking for a bad guy. We're looking
for the hero here.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Speaking of bad guys, Robson's text through said, Mogi is
Bond and Keezy is Mr Bean. A little bit of
makeup on Winnie P, and I think you found your guy.
This text through from Josh Logan. Easily distracted by women?
The confidence that could only come from copper peptides? Surely
Ruda is a shoe-in for New Zealand's James Bond.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Can you imagine Ruda with the coordination going on?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I mean, you've got a ski. Generally, there's a ski
scene somewhere.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's a good point. That rules me out.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And he's got to jump out of a plant. You're
asking him to do a whole lot of physical stuff that, unfortunately,
I mean, Ruda, totally, with the vibe, with the charisma.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
With the hairline these days.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
With the hairline. And that's all there with the looks.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But with the singing voice.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
But the coordination for me is a major stumbling block.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Well, and he won't mind me saying this, but we
are talking about a man who has to actively think
about which arm moves with which leg when he goes
for a run.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He's the first person I've ever heard who is in
that situation.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Having said that, undefeated in 4x100 meta relays, as we
all are.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Carl Urban. Carl Urban. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
What about Horty J? There's a lot of love coming
through for Horty J's.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
He's got something, Hoity J, but also he'd do quite
a good bad guy.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Grant Katiyama. Now that's a suggestion. Former Hits host. I
believe he's currently still working somewhere. Maybe he's host.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
He's on the lotto ads.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He's on the lotto ads.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Linus Trumpet, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh, that's right. He is too. Rhys Darby. Chris Warner.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm on Dr. Chris Warner. Again, is he too famous
for one character to play another one?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There's a lot of, there's a lot of, Shortland Street
characters coming through. I mean, Lionel Skeggins. I'm not sure
whether Lionel Skeggins could play the New Zealand James Bond.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
What about... There's a lot of love for the Richie
McCores of this world. The Dan Carters.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Do they have the acting ability?
Speaker 4 (08:02):
This one is the one that's activated the Hodaki Hive mind.
The most common name that's been suggested on 3483 is
Lee Hart.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Lee Hart is... New Zealand's answer to James Bond.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
I reckon Lee Hart grew up watching Sean Connery as
James Bond. And if you've hung out with Lee Hart,
you'll understand there are a lot of Sean Connery traits
going on there. The eyebrow, the walk, the lean in
in certain situations. I think he's based a larger percentage
of his personality on Sean Connery than what people would imagine,
(08:33):
you know, than what people understand.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
What about this one? Lovely trendy, handsome and mysterious.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah. I mean, great bowler, but can he act? This
is the issue.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Well, yeah, and again, like the climax scene, and it's
him just having to bowl a 10-over spell, you know,
on a dirt tracker. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, for me, so far, the best suggestion on 3483,
Winston Peters.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart. Find them on Instagram at
Horaki Breakfast.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
New James Bond film coming out next year, it'll probably be, actually,
because they're currently casting for who's going to be The
new James Bond. And I'm just having a look at
some of the list of some of the people, some
of the front runners here. Jack Barton, Callum Turner, Jack Loudon,
Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I don't know any of these people. I don't know
any of these people.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I only know Dua Lipa's missus.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Which one's that one?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Callum Lipa.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Callum Turner?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Only because I follow her on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Do you really? Big fan of the music. I'll be too.
Same here, bro. Same here.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
She's bringing disco back. Big fan of Sydney Sweeney's music
as well, actually. That's why I follow her too.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Sure you are. Sure you are.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So I'm just looking at that list and I'm thinking,
I don't know any of these people. Why are there
no New Zealanders on there?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's a great point.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So we asked you this morning on 3483 what New
Zealanders should play James Bond.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Someone said Richard Kahui.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Handsome. Best looking all black of all time.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Anthony Starr.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I mean, he's probably, actually, yeah, I think he tips
Murray Mexton. actually, as best looking All Black of all time.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Dan Carter doesn't get around.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Look, I think, look, Hart, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Sonny Bell?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Hart, again, top 10. But Murray Maxted? I mean, he
married Miss Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
It's hard to argue against marrying Miss Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
He married Miss Universe.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
As an indicator of hotness.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
The man looked like Magnum P.I.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
We'll put Murray Mexted in the running as well then.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, he'd be good.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Lovely Trinity. Yep. Hemibond. Lee Hart.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Lee Hart seems to have been very popular amongst our listeners.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
He's come through a lot, yeah. Paddy Gower, Horty J.
Mike Hosking in a box for him to stand on.
He already has the car. To Mighty Martin for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Now, Tamati Martin's a great choice. I love the looks,
but I've never heard Tamati Martin speak.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
How does he go asking for a martini shaken, not stirred?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Pretty good, but also the climax of the film would
be a pig hunt.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I'm into that.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Do people love that, though? Is that going to work
with an international audience?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'd watch that. Pig hunting's a universal experience.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Sure. Sure it is.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You guys don't go pig hunting in Ponsonby?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
No, not really.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Ponsonby pig hunt?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Not really. We're not big on the ticks.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
What ticks?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Ticks on the back of the neck. Carrying the pig back. Ticks.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I don't know if I've ever seen a tick in
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Haven't you? No. Oh, I've heard that.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
The ponsonby ticks, are they a big concern?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I've heard that that's a big thing, is that basically
you're carrying the pig on your back and then all
the parasites jump from the pig to your hair.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah. Maybe in America. I don't know. Is that a
thing in New Zealand?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, I've never pigged on, so I wouldn't have a pig.
How would I know? Don't ask me. So who's the
top of the list? Oh, right.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Probably, do you want me to go through the top five?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yep, top five.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Daniel Faitala.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Ian Stables.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Jack Tame. Yep. Lee Hart.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Tim.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Oh, there we go.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Tim Morrison. Okay. This is the Hauraki Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Want Gerry and Mania waiting for you every morning?
