Speaker 3 (00:58):
I you you're going to being stokes, don't you. Aren't
you going to like just before the eight o'clock news,
while the eight o'clock news is playing, You'll be sitting
in the studio and you'll go, boys, I need you.

You you never see me again? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:42):

It be the end of me.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
You don't want you don't want to announce your retirement

farewell tour.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh god, you want to got like at a party?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, just leave.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
You don't need to announce to everyone that you're leaving
a party, Like when you're like fifteen or sixteen, you
kind of do. But when you get to when you
get two thirty, you don't need to do that anymore.
You just leave whenever you're like, it's.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Still going to mate on the weekend. Who prides himself
and as irish goodbyes he loves it?

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Is that what they're called it's yeah, the old I'm
just going to the load and you never come back.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yah, smoke bomb, smoke bomb. It's all so called pulling parachute.
I wouldn't even announce I'm going to the.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Toilet, no exactly, that's lying. You better just to just
unless you do go to the toilet, you just better
just to walk out.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
The holy grail is when you is when the toilet,
the door is by the toilet and you look at
it his shirt. Oh that's good. Yeah, you don't say anything.
You just walk off towards the toilet. Anyone who sees you, which,
to be honest, by that stage of the night, no
one's noticing anything. They're like those off of the bathroom.
And then yep, because then the next morning they go,

(02:56):
what time did you leave? And they think that you
were there the whole night, that you also you've never
missed out on.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Anything, you said, I haven't. I haven't left. Yeah, I've
been here the whole time.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
And my old workplace that was called doing a John
O Pryor because he was famous for it. Just like
I'm just I'm coming back. I'm just going to low
I'll come back. Never came back. Yeah, it became a joke.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, I bungled one on Saturday night. It was a
bungled Irish goodbye. I was like, you know, you check
your phone. It was like midnight and there was another
round of drinks being bought and I was like, looked
around the room. Oh, I'm not enjoying this anymore. You know,
all I'm doing at this point is pouring it on
my hangover. So I was like, all right, I'm out.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
So this was the Saturday, not the Friday.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Say, I walked out. I walked past Joe and Lane
at this bar, and I can't walk past John Lane,
Like that'd be weird. You're drawing more attention to the
Irish goodbye. And then I said, I'm just gonna I
was just gonna go grab something, grab what you.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Screw that up? And I go and grab something.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, it was like all of the attention had turned
to me at that point, and I was like, what
had you been doing before that?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Just talking to someone else? Okay? Yeah, and then you're
wearing a clown suit, doesn't no, no.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
No, no, we're sneaking out yeah quietly.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
You poles. Yeah. And then yeah, they were literally guess
where are you going?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I was like, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Gonna be here. No, No, I mean I did go out.
I did leave, so yeah, good good willpower.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
But it was just bungled. Well, it was a botched,
irish goodbye. I feel like it should be for me.
When I finished a phone call with my mum. That's
like the so I could be chatting away to my
mum and then I go all right, all right, I
talked to you. Later, my mom goes, okay, bye. See
it could happen at any time, and it's just like
it's finished. I've watched my partner say goodbye. It tells

(05:00):
you say goodbye to her mum. It's like it's impossible.
Oh my god, min it's impossible. She will say, okay,
I've got to go down, and then your Mum's like,
and then mom just keeps talking, She just keeps going.
It is. It is an amazing thing. And and sr
goodbye could go on for two or three minutes. Yeah,
sometimes her mum will start up a new story reset. Yeah,

(05:22):
it's quite amazing.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's excruciating if you're there.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And the other On Saturday, I went around to my
parents place and they're going to Australia, and I saw
it's some accommodation out for them, and and then I
was just like I just had enough. And I was like,
not in a bad way, I just I just wanted
to go. So I said, all right, I'm off, I'll
see you because they'll come around the next night for dinner.
So I see it tomorrow night for and I was out, Now.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Did they go around and just pass out you to
bind you back to E? I'm like, oh, our sudden
doesn't love us, doesn't want to see it.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, there's no flaffing around with goodbyes. I do know
some people who have who would just walk out mid conversation,
Like Marcus Lush is a good one for this. Have
you guys ever run into Marcus Slush socially before?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Only once? This is the only time I've ever drunk
to someone's ear off at a radio or someone that
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And it was like.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
He copped it.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
So if it was only even going to be him,
I was like, you're a real idol mate, you do
a radio show for a job, and you don't I know,
that's not that's not his hometown bluffe. But he let's
call it his hometown.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think he grew up in Mua, but he lived
to move to blaf You just get to do that
for your job and live wherever you want to live.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'm gonna live in Auckland.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
This is ship.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, it's like.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
If I could do this from my media be down there.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
He's such a great broadcaster. Shit, he's good. He's just
so unique. Yeah, but he he doesn't drink. I don't think. Well,
he certainly saw him.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think I skied him sober.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, that's the thing. And so parties. He kind of
he's quite strange at parties. And he'll go on to
radio awards and stuff because he wins an award. Probably
comes good excuse to come up to Auckland because he
probably likes traveling and gets to see probably family and stuff.
But he yeah, he'll come along and he just walks
away from a conversation, like you'll be chatting away and

(07:15):
he'll just walk off. If it's not interesting to him,
he'll just walk off. And he doesn't say hello. So
he doesn't say hello, doesn't say goodbye, doesn't do any
pleasant trees.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Doesn't say it's Marcus like he does on Newstis. He'd
be every night.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Hi Kevin, It's Marcus Kevin.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Hello, manyah, it's Marcus Marcus.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Here and then just pause.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
He's great with callers, so it's interesting that he chooses.
I guess that's the thing. Face to face, some people
aren't so good.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
He'll go like this.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
M m mmmmm mmmmm, which works on a one man broadcast,
but at a conversation that awards ceremony eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
That's that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
What are we talking about tonight? Man?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
That that that that that that that.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Shane Cameron.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
And I remember Shane Cameron.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Shane Cameron was a mountain warrior? Was he the mountain Warrior?
He was Shane Cameron?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Was he? I think he was?

Speaker 6 (08:32):
He was.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I'm closing my eyes because this is quite scary.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty. It's just red.
It's just random. It's so good. Though you're in the
bra you're in his brain. It's it's brilliant. And then
he has knowledge is insane. I mean, the man is
the man is an ai.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
But you also don't know what he's about to say next.
But it's never as like revelatory as you think it's
going to be like, because because the way he pauses,
you think this is going to be profound.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
He avoids all all major issues he's not interested in
talking about. And he will be talking about road closures
and how I twenty two. He'll talk about sitting as
your toaster, not hundred.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Eighty butter conditioner.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Oh yeah, butter conditioners so good. Anyway, he's so good,
he'll do a mid conbo iris goodbye.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. That's a very unconventional man, just
not conventional in anyway. Clothes, earcuts.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
I heard a story that when he bought his house
in Bluff about ninety grand eighty or ninety grand and
tried to.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Pay with it with his f boss cut. Have you
guys heard that story?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, I heard that. I think it was less than that.
And ye also, who's.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Got fucking Addy Kane on if post cut? That's crazy?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Correct, Well, he's been working when you think about it,
like he left, so he went to Auckland University and
he went he worked at BFM. He used to do
the talkback show. Then I used to work at BERFFM
two and he was very famous. He did the breakfast show,
then he did he did talk back. Then he did
the brief show. Then he then got packed up by
news Talks a b to do like the midnight to

(10:12):
Dawn show, and he would have been in his twenties,
like early twenties. He's been there ever since, basically. Then
he went to radio live. He worked at Zidim. He
worked on the Zidim Breakfast for a long time. When
I was at BFFM in the nineties. Yeah, he was
the Zitdim breakfast hoast, And in those days, the Zitdem
Breakfast hoast was like, I mean, I'm just going to

(10:32):
throw a number, but it was like three hundred grand
turn him fifty three hundred thousand dollars, which is a
lot of money now still, but in those days it
was the average and come was thirty five forty thousand dollars,
so that was a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Late nineties or something.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, late nineties. I mean, I'm just I'm just saying
numbers here. He never went around and told anyone what
he earned, but that's what I heard, you believe. And
then he did that for some time, and then he
went down to Bluff went and decided to start loving him.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Bluff Kerry and Mania joined the conflayt the Hodaki Breakfast
discussion group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and Manaia
Stuart find them on Instagram at Hodaki Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
And I think at the time decided to stop drinking
and maybe made some lifestyle changes around that and kind
of went bush and it's.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
The only person in the world to move to south
and to stop drinking. Yeah, and bluff like to the
bottom of the country. But he's the kind of person
that would have been interested in bluff booka. I mean,
especially in the late nineties, early two thousand, so like
no one was. Life was kind of was pre internet, really,
life was very isolated. Did you just want to go

(11:45):
there because he wanted to be as far away from
everyone as possible.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Well, I've never asked him, but because he wouldn't answer
that question, Like you can't really ask him a question,
any kind of conventional question, he would never answer, right,
and he certainly give you a conventional answer. Yeah, so
it's not worth it. You probably just walk out of
the co He just walk away, yeah, because he's like, wow,
this is not interesting to me.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
But then he was down there and then he started
doing I think he was on radio like Southland or something.
For a while he did the breakfast show down there
and then he ended up back on news. So he's
been basically working and broadcasting. So it didn't surprise me
that he would have a crued a bit of cash
for a long, long, long, long, long long time and
not spending. He's not a big spender of money.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Was he allowed to pay with the Zeppos card?

Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't believe question. I don't believe he was.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
He didn't get his driver's license till he was like
thirty something.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Did he used to do a travel show on TV
as well?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, he did North, a show called North on a
show called South, really good TV show. Well, it was
a clever idea he just he actually went nor. He
went I think the first one was called South and
it was basically just all about South, and then he went,
what am I going to do next? I suppose to
do Norse. He lit it at East and West. That

(13:07):
was his idea. Yeah, I know the production coming that
he did it. And before that he did the Trains
show where he traveled around New Zealand, but it just
used trains. Really good show.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 4 (13:20):
You could do that?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Right now, do you reckon you could get from kay
Tire to Bluff on trains in New Zealand. No, you
can't know the fuck. We're only like primarily a tourist
country and there's no way for tourists to get anywhere.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
You get a juicy van. You get a juicy van
and shipping a bush somewhere. I don't know if I
don't laugh, Really you've done it. You're shipping the bush.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Ye never been in a juicy riddle though, but I
have you guys know me so well.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I witnessed a Bruisial Irish goodbye from a conversation black
Clash couple of years ago. We're walking out and Joe
was talking Joe Jerry was talking to Jordan op It
from TVNZ and he just asked her a question. Someone

(14:18):
I don't know what. I'm going to give her the
benefit of the doubt, say someone else called out to
her or something. But he asked her a question. She
just looked in the eye. They just turned around and
walked off.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
That's good. That was so funny.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Well fair enough, but I think I think she'd received
a text and that was like looking for someone. But
then he just said something, so he looked like benefit
of the doubt. That's what's going on. But how it
played out was so, what did you think of the game?
She looked him in the eye and then just walked off.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
All power to it. I think I think you should
be allowed to I mean, you are.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
You are allowed to do it, I know, but culturally
we don't accept that. I think we should. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I like the idea of someone asking a question and
then you're just looking them up and down and then
walking off. I want to ki, no, no, there's nothing
here for me.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I feel like I feel like Germans Zoe would be
would be okay with just I don't want to talk
to you anymore, just conversations, and that's what that would sound.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well do you just do? You just walk off? In German?
What's the what's the German word for ghosts? Yeah, it'll
be fifth ends stuff and got stuff got stuffing or
come now.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
I'm big on the Irish goodbye. Yeah, I do it
all the time.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
So what's the German? Is there a German goodbye?

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Not really, but I'm always find that I have more
strength to do the Irish goodbye compared to the people
that I'm with, Oh, yeah, you know when you're with
other people and you want to just quickly just exit
without having see there. Yeah, it's fine, Like, no one
actually cares that much. If you're going, if you're going
to see each other in the next you don't have
to say go around and say goodbye to everyone. Maybe

(15:52):
you say goodbye to the host, but I.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Find it quite draining. Yeah, at the end of the
night when you might not have much left, and then
you're like that might suck the final part out of me.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
Someone tries to yeah, and then with someone else.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
And want to go bye, and where I need to
say goodbye to this person.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
I need to say good bye to this No.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
It's just yeah, I just can't. That's fine. Particular winnings
text them.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
Yeah, No, they don't care that much. It's just for
your own like you know that you're usually interrupting a
conversation if you're going to something say goodbye.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah. So what's the word German with a ghost? Guys,
that's a bit you know, ghist ght? Yeah, Then time
