Speaker 1 (00:11):
We back, baby.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
They tried to shut us down, man. They tried to
shut us down.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
We back.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
They tried to shut us down. There was a big
announcement on the radio show this morning. This is a podcast,
by the way. If you don't know, we also do
a radio show. We were gone for a week, but
we back. We said on the radio show we can't.
say why we weren't here last week that's still i
can't even say what that's before but it rhymes with

(00:38):
port the ports and i would say if you do
your own research it's not hard to work it's not hard.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
To figure out it's not hard to work out what's
going on yeah But a decision was made at an
executive level?

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah. Was it at a board level?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't think a board level. I think more an executive,
but also made without a lot of discussion. Yes. But
let's just say people said things. It was a rash decision. Yeah,
it was.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
It was a rash decision. And we said, we're not
going to stand for that. Yeah. Because meanwhile, every two
weeks a person gets torn to bits by a crocodile
in the Northern Territory. Yeah. And also there's 14 people
that rely on this podcast at Smoko.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
And we can't let those people down.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, totally. And one in five New Zealanders is going
to work hungry.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
So in that situation, we're like, we're not.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Standing for this stuff. Times are hard enough right now,
all right, without also taking the Hodaki Breakfast intro bespoke
podcast away from people.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, can I just say, I've got to say, in
terms of a week, that was one of the hardest
weeks of my life. And then I'd like to move on.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yep, I think we draw a line under it and
we'll all circle that as an outlier in the data
set and just go, hey, shit, that was weird.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Whoops.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
But my thing is what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Everything's a learning. I think there's some good learnings there
and we are moving forward.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
As far as I'm concerned, we are snapping the rearview
mirror off this car because we're not going that way.
There's a reason that the windscreen is bigger than the
rearview mirror. That's because that's the way you're going.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
We ain't going out like that.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
We ain't going out like that.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
We ain't going out. We ain't going out.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah. And you've always said that. So we're back. I
will say, though, it is as good a chance as
any for a rebrand of this podcast.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Because in its most recent iteration, it has been known
as the first bite of the cherry, the first podcast
to see the sun, the first to see a new day,
the day-to-day of our Lord Monday, the 7th of September.
Not true anymore. Because as part of the tense, terse negotiations,
which we won't go back through again, we now have
to do the podcast after the show, which we're fine with,

(02:49):
but it just means that it's no longer the first
bite of.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
The cherry, unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So is it time for another rebrand?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
One of the funniest things about this podcast and the
amount of rebrands that it has had is that it's
always been the exact same thing, and that's just people
talking shit. But it's been, from its inception, it's had
about 100 different names.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, you know what it's like, though, Manon. I changed
the name on the marquee and changed the content inside
the marquee.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So it's now as good a time as any to
have a rebrand.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, sure. And look, I have been open to a rebrand,
as you will know, from the start of this podcast,
whenever the hell that was, maybe.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
10 years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
10 years ago, is it?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Do you want to walk us through a chronology of
how we got here? Do you remember all of the names.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
That it's had throughout its time? I remember a number
of them. It started as being called the podcast intro. Yeah.
But just because of the fact that that was an
administrative kind of way of– Differentiating it from the actual podcast,
which was mainly the radio content.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Which has always been the, this has always been the
issue with naming this podcast is that there is a
Hauraki Breakfast podcast on the exact same feed. So then
what the hell is this one? Or what do you
call it? That's been, I think, the hard part.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Then it got called the Bespoke Podcast because that meant
that it was different than the actual intro in the
other podcast. Yes. Which created the Bespoke Dokies. Yeah, which
are people who just listen to the Bespoke podcast but
don't listen to the Radio Highlights.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Oh, they don't listen?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Oh, they didn't listen to the Radio Highlights. They didn't
want anything to do with the Radio Highlights. They just listened.
The Spokie Dokies, the Bespoke Dokies were solely fans of
the intro and they had nothing to do with the
other part. Well, how did they know they weren't just
listening to the radio show repackaged for them?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I suppose they wouldn't if they never listened to that.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, they would turn off at that point and then
the two were separated. Yeah, right. Some of the higher-ups
decided that was going to be a good idea. The
two podcasts were?

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yep. And then merged back together and then separated again?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Then they got merged back together, then they got separated again.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
This was the podcast Civil War era of the Hauraki
Breakfast Show. That split them forever.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Again, now all of these decisions were made by the higher-ups.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Nothing to do with the people at the content coalface? No.
We're just there talking into a microphone, just chatting away,
establishing connections, creating content.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
To educate... To inform and to entertain.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, exactly. That's all we were doing.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
That's all we're trying to do.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's all we're doing. That's all I'm trying to do.
And so then it ended up turning into, what was
the other one that it was? There was something else
there for a while. So it was the bespoke-y dokey.
Bespoke-y dokey. Then it went back. Then it became the casserole.
Then it became the casserole. Then it was like something else.
Then we had sort of individual things like, for example,

(05:51):
chew your face off Fridays, which is when we looked
at dance music.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
And then we had Mental Health Mondays, which was a
separate one. And then we had something else. Oh, Get
Fact Thursday, where everybody brought a fact in, and then
the facts were rated, and someone won the fact of
the day. Whosever fact was the best fact. Right. Okay.
I forgot about that.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well- Why don't? Because I think if we learned anything
over this last week, there is a passionate sleeper cell
of bespokey dokeys out there who fought and we thank
you for fighting for us to get this thing back
on track. Why don't you jump in the conclave and
let us know which of the iterations, best parts you
want us to bring back as part of the rebrand?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
What things that have fallen by the wayside? Yeah. That
maybe we need to do again?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
I mean, the thing is because you do lose sight
of it when you're at the content. At the coalface.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Plus, I was out in the radio wilderness for a
number of years there. So I missed all of that.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
And so if there's anything there that people want to
bring back. I was at the coalface and I somehow
missed it too.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, I don't know if you want any of those
brought back.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
No, look, I'm open to suggestions. Whether or not that happens,
that's a whole other thing. Something weird going on. So
I don't know. what your algorithm throws at you, but mine,
these four things have been thrown at me over the weekend,
which is interesting. Research has confirmed the simple home hair
remedy that makes hair grow like weeds. Why is my
algorithm throwing that at me?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh, I know why. I know why.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
It's listening to something, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, it's listening to Reuters peptides.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh, why men over 60 are ditching their old baseball caps.
Why am I interested in that? The window cleaning mistake
almost everyone makes.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
What is it well i don't know is it not
cleaning windows and um heart surgeon wards uh warns avoid
bone broth at all costs okay so what i'm picking
up here is you have when's your birthday again january
the 19th when does when does social media think your birthday.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Is social media thinks my birthday is recently i think
someone's changed my Wikipedia page or something.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Does social media think that you've already turned 50?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh. And you've ticked over into the next bracket and
now it's starting to... Oh.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Because I will tell you, when I turned 25, I
immediately started getting engagement ring ads served to me.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Did you?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yeah. I was like, you know what? Come back in
10 years, we'll see how we go.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, so... Social media thinks my birthday is June 7, 1977.
God knows why, because it's not June. I mean, 1977,
got the year right, but that's still a year away still.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, right, okay, so you're still 49 in its eyes.
You're still 49 in the Lord's eyes, aren't you?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah. Well, I am still 49. Yeah. Sure.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Holding on to that.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
But then Wikipedia says 19th of January, so Wikipedia's got
it right. Who updates your Wikipedia? I don't know. I've never,
actually I haven't looked at it for a while. Let
me have a look what's going on here. Oh yeah.
I feel like it's been exactly the same for like
10 years.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Let me have a look and see on the Jeremy Wells. Jesus,
she's a sorry site that comes up when you Google
Jeremy Wells.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh really is it? What happened?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's you in an open white button down shirt with
like a negligee on underneath.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
With a negligee?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
That's the first photo that comes up.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
It's disgusting. Jerry and Minaya, join the Conclave, the Hauraki
Breakfast discussion group on Facebook for more. Jerry and Minaya,
catch the radio show from 6 till 10 weekdays.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
The Hauraki Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Scrolling through.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
So you have a relatively short Wikipedia page. We've done
this thing in the past where we've gone through and
had a look at various different pages.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Do you have a Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Page, Manoa? I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
And this is my theory is, how do you spell Manoa? M-A-N-A-I-A. Stuart.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
No. No.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Oh my fucking God.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
First phone that comes.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Up for you is the one with. The Women's Day article. Oh,
I found love on a bus.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's the hit piece. The hit piece is the first
thing that comes up.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And so it should be.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
And then.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Welcome to Minaya Stewart through the hit piece.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
And then the ODT hit piece, which was less of
a hit piece, that was why Matty Bourne media personality
takes prime time slot at Radio Hodaki.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
And then that's it. No Wikipedia page. I have always thought....

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I've always thought that people update their Wikipedias themselves, you know,
because there's stuff in there that only that person could
possibly know.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Oh, you can tell the people who have done their
ones because it's, A, as you said, got everything.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
And it goes through all of their best stuff. And
you can tell the people like me whose other people
have done it because it says really weird stuff. And
sometimes stuff that's been made up or funny stuff that
we've talked about on the radio is a joke. Yeah.
It actually has found its way. And the funniest thing
is when you go and sometimes do school things particularly-
And the kids don't know anything about you. And so
they go to Wikipedia to do their intro for you.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
And they go, Jeremy Wells is a New Zealand media
personality who hosts the Radio Hauraki Breakfast Show with Manoia Stewart.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Shout out. I don't have my own page, but I'm
on yours. Seven Sharp alongside Hilary Barry and Taskmaster New Zealand.
I mean, the concern is for you that you're in
black and you're not in blue.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's racist, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I know. Because if you're in blue, then we're going
straight to you.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
I'm not going to set up my own Wikipedia page.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I think we need to get a Wikipedia page for you.
This should be, we need to, we should do this
on the radio tomorrow. We need to set up a
Wikipedia page.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
We don't need to be doing this on the radio tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
You need a Wikipedia page. Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
What do I need a Wikipedia page for?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Tomorrow on the radio, our main task. I think we've
got a busy show tomorrow. No, we don't. We've got nothing.
We've got nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
We've got, it's, it's, um.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Lame claim to fame Tuesday. Lame claim to fame Tuesday, man.
I think we've hit the bottom of the well. I
think we've hit the bottom of the well there. I
think we need to sort you out a, we need
to go through your life. And sort out- We definitely
don't need to do that. And sort out exactly what
we're going to put on your Wikipedia page. There's not-
And people can go on there in the morning and

(12:23):
add their own bits to it.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
What would you put in there? So obviously, once charged
down a conversion against Tamuka for the YMDA under 18s.
A lot of people thought that was Geraldine.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
It was actually Tamuka.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
I guess there'd be a section on claims there's not
a bird on God's green earth that could beat him
in a fight. Uh, rumors that he is also a
swift justice, which I deny wholeheartedly.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
That goes in the careers side of the Wikipedia. I
reckon that goes, I want a little, um, what's the
one where, you know, if you go on like.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
A, a musician or something and they'll, they'll have like
defamation or like controversies, there'll be a controversy segment of the,
of the, um.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Gotta have controversies.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
I'm going on here and I'm actually creating a Wikipedia
account so I can make your.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
So here we go.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Early life. Early life, definitely.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Member of the New Zealand Defence Force, 1991 to 1995. Member.
I lived on the military base.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Artistry.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
What's your artistry? Once won a.
Battle of the Bands at university because I was the
only band that didn't play Santeria, Sublime.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
That'll go under achievements.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I reckon that goes under artistry. It would go right
up there with every time that song plays and we
talk about it, elderly woman behind the counter in a
small town. I think a lot of people credit my
later musical success to that. When you go onto Matt
Heath's Wikipedia page, it says Leslie Matthew Heath is a
New Zealand actor, producer, radio host, sports commentator, columnist, and musician.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's some good stories around situations where he's actually been
called Leslie. Particularly people who have done things officially who
think that they need to actually use his proper name.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Legal documents that we can't discuss on the show that
have been addressed to Leslie Heath. The last line of
his Wikipedia says, Heath is the author of a cookbook
titled The Best of Leslie's Kitchen.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
There's a cultural impact thing.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
I mean, how many words have you got? How long
can a Wikipedia page be?

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Wealth and endorsements. Okay, that one will be short. Social activism?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Shorter still. We don't need to do this. We're not
putting a, fuck it.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I want to set up an actual person, but it's
actually Wikipedia, man. It's old school, isn't it? Like, it's
not easy. Well, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
You don't need to.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
User page, homepage, user page, talk. I don't want to talk.
I want to set this up.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
This is boomerang.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Start editing. I don't want to edit. This is boomerang tea.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
And now you watch. There'll be three other people who
listen to this podcast and they'll go out and make
their own Wikipedia page.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah. We've got to get a Wikipedia page going for
you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
We don't have to get a Wikipedia page.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Because what happens when you go and do community work,
Maniah Stewart, and the kids don't know lies about you?
The pigs will start flying if I'm going to do
community work. Mate, look, when you're out and about in
the community.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
And doing your community work, which you're trying to turn
yourself into a bastion, a pillar of the community. Yes.
How are people going to know anything? They need to
be able to go somewhere. They can't just go there
and look at the I found love on a bus
article and then praise you the bones from that. They've
got to do a little bit more than that.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
I'll tell you what. Look, if this bumps the Women's
Day hit piece down the Google results, then I'll be
happy to. Does my computer– can I play this through the–
Through the desk?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
No. You can try. Can I try?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Because something's popped up that was really, really traumatic. And
this was from a number of years ago. March, 22nd
of March, 2019. Can I play this?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Is it going to play an ad? Oh, no, that's
not connected.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Do you know what it was? It's the top video
search result when you search my name. It was Matt
and Jerry make Mania relive his drunken antics. And it
is me singing Angels at what, at the time, we
thought was a karaoke bar, which we then learned as

(16:35):
we were being asked to leave the premises, was actually
an open mic night for people to play, like, original.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Actual songs.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Actual songs. A lot of people were really nervous and, like,
you know, gearing up to go in and, you know,
pour their heart out, open their beer, their soul to
the world. And here's Big Money doing Angels.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
They can go on a discography. Is that the word?
It would go straight into the discography. I would have thought.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
The discography.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
But first we need to somehow work out how on
earth to use Wikipedia. That's fine. So I can set
up a page for you and then people can add it.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
People can add to it.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
We can go on and sort things out. This is good. Okay,
so tomorrow, can we pencil that in? Thanks, Zoe, Pennsylvania
for 710. Again, like I said, man, Tuesdays, big day.
710 on Monica's needs a Wikipedia page. I don't. He
needs one. Okay. Any broadcaster worth their salt. Sorry, man,

(17:38):
it's in the doc.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Well, but we don't have to be beholden to the doc,
you know. The doc, most people would never know.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
We do that. I mean, JJ Feeney, for example.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Here's one for you. Do you know a while ago
I did a thing where I wanted to be the
least followed verified account on Instagram? Now you can pay
for that blue tick, but back in the day you
had to be verified. So I applied to be, I
think at that point I had like 600 followers. And
I was like, I want to be the least followed
verified account. And I applied, got rejected. The least followed
account at that time was, do you want to guess

(18:09):
who it was? It was a member of the New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Media.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
The least followed verified account.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Was Ricky Swinell. Really?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I was working with Rikki at the time, and she was.
I think she had like 1,400 followers and was the
least followed verified account. Mike Lane does not have a …
Doesn't he? No.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Have you checked that under James or ACC head Grot Lane?

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Mike Lane, alternative. So why don't we do Lane first tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
No, no, we'll do you first. Well, but he ….

Speaker 2 (18:43):
More people know and need to know who Mike Lane,
Alternative Commentary Collective, is. So I.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Think we should do that first before me. Have you
been in any movies or anything? No.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Controversially, they filmed a movie in Waimari when I was
a kid and I didn't get in. One of my
mate's sisters is lying underneath a bed in one shot
and they always pointed out, oh, Marie's under the bed
in this shot.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Not in the movie. So no, again, unless you're in
a movie. I've been going deep into JJ. Sorry, I've
been waylaid with JJ Feeney information here on the Wikipedia page.
Fascinating stuff. Do you know she changed her name to
Harvey in 2014 as a 10-year anniversary gift to her husband?
It was such a lovely gift. Is it? Changing your name.

(19:35):
Wouldn't it be way lovelier to do it when you
get married? Well, she changed it back to Feeney in 2018.
Sounds like a radio, but doesn't it? In 2017, Feeney
and Harvey announced their separation. Oh, yeah. She went back
to Feeney. Feeney. Now it talks about Feeney and Minou. 2024,

(19:58):
JJ Feeney confirmed in an interview with Women's Day that
she and Minou had reunited after meeting again in Bali. Man,
I feel like she may have been involved in her
Wikipedia page here because there's a lot of information.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
I don't feel like I don't feel like this is
what the hard-fighting members of the Conclave were praying for
when they begged for this podcast to come back.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
What? Information on JJ Feeney?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Do you know why she's called JJ Feeney?

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I've got something for you. Old Jezebel's got something.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, why don't we clear out the 8 o'clock hour
tomorrow and we can go through that and we don't
have to do the Wikipedia thing.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Old Jezebel? No, we're doing the Wikipedia thing. She's called
JJ because her real name is Jacqueline Joanne Barbara Feeney.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
So it's just their initials.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Jacqueline Joanne. It's a hyphen. Jacqueline Joanne is a hyphenated name.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Oh, that's the other thing. If we are going to
do your Wikipedia page.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Which we're not.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
You need to remember what your names are. Oh, God. Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well, see, that's another issue. Because they're different.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Do we need to get your mum on.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
The line tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Let's get your mum on.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
This is the problem. She doesn't know what they are,
and that's how I've ended up with two different names.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Well, she needs to, can you text her? Well, she's
going to just have another guess, and then now I'm
going to end up with three names. Can you text her?
She's got 24 hours to come up with some research
to work out, to remember what she named her son.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
This is how we got to this place in the
first place, was because she lost my birth certificate, and
then when I had to get my passport, she just
took a guess at what she thought my name was.
which evidently in the 90s was good enough, and so
they issued a passport with a different name than my
driver's license.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Okay, so now you've got different birth certificates, passport to
driver's license, all different.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
And what I can't have is you introducing a third
one on Wikipedia, all right? So we're not going to
do that tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Zoe, can you try and find out what Minaya's mum's
phone number is so we can call her on air
tomorrow and she can at least have a go. I mean,
I just think have a guess because you can always
change Wikipedia. That's the thing. It's easy. You can just
change it back. This is how we got to this situation.
Wikipedia is historically very accurate. Very. Very. At least 70% accurate.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, you can use either my passport or my driver's license.
Up to you, guys. They're two different names.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Okay. All right. God, I'm looking forward to doing your
Wikipedia page tomorrow. It's going to be so much fun.
We don't have to do that. It's going to be
so much fun. Want Gerry and Manoa waiting for you
every morning?
