Speaker 1 (00:00):
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio
show The Hurdarki Breakfast Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome on to the first part of the Cherry, the
first podcast to see the sun, the first to see
in a new day, The day of Our Lord, the
thirty first of July twenty twenty sixth, The thirty first
of July, the end of beer and by.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
July, it's the end of July as we know it.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
At the end of July, it certainly is, and that
means that it's the beginning of August as we know it.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
And August being the eighth month out of twelve. According
to the eighth h out of twelve, we are eight.
We will be eight months out of twelve into.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Yeah, yeah, I'm happy about that. I'm I don't know,
I've been wondering. Well, I feel you know, some some winters.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I put you in the shed. We've given you plenty
of feet. Well.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
I went and saw my mate's grandad a couple of
years ago, probably not long after i'd moved to Auckland,
and he's got this.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Big long driveway.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
You've got to walk up the bust because he never
fills the potholes and anyway, walking up. He's standing on
his deck the entire time, but he'd been about ninety
at this stage, and he's looking.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
He's like the fuck and that's okay close.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
He goes, ah, no, no, all right, jam He gues,
I was watching you come up and say, thinking who's this?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
He said, buddy, how that's not jeez, you've wintered. Well,
thank you, Jim. Yeah, they've had you on the right
type of feet, even even in a good paddict. They
looked after you. My grandfather is always talking about how
many plumb seasons he had left. Love about five four
or five plumb seasons left in me some season coming

(01:38):
around Christmas? Was he how close was he? Are you
quite close? Yeah? He was. He was pretty clear. That
was old Granddad coming on down the stairs, and he
uh yeah, he got pretty close. Ninety ninety old grandad
coming down the stairs.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I think you.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
About the very the elderly community and like how old?
How long you're old?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
For old? So long like.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
From seven so he got to ninety, yeah, but twenty
years before that he was seventy.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I feel like he was old from about sixty eight. Yeah.
In those days, people got older a bit earlier than
they do. Now you push it out a bit later.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
You see like a even a excuse me, a cricket
player from the eighties.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
They look about fifty and they're like, that's a professional.
Welly Lewis, Oh the King, the King was bought like
for I attacking it. Yeah, true, Yeah, there's there's something weird
about sports people like that. But I reckon my parents
got old from about I like propably old from seventy five.
Your your grandparents, no, my actual parents, my actual parents. Yeah, yeah,

(02:44):
they got they got old old. Yeah, I reckon seventy
five that things change before old old. Yeah. Yeah, you
could be sixty five, you could be seventy three. Yeah,
you know there's there's not but you can't be seventy
one and eighty three. There's a big difference. Yeah, Simney
one three.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
I think even ninety's ninety. You get to ninety, Isa
hanging ninety.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
You need a lot of people doing things for you. Well,
you need a better help.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, been around mini.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Centinarians, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
I was like centenarians, No, you got it.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh. My great auntie is one hundred anti coralyty coly.
I know she listens anti Craly. She's she I think
she made listen. She's blind, sleeps a bit, sleeps a bit,
She's still got everything she can't. She's blind as bad,
but she she lives by herself. That's not that's good.

(03:40):
And yeah, does she ever turn the lights on such
a good I don't know. I must ask. That's a
good question. She has someone that comes in and like
looks after her, how's the power, does showers and does
stuff like that, But she she wants to live. She's
strictly by herself. Yeah, I'd be like that.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
So I think no TV, no lights, a big radio fan,
everything else you need.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Though around the wireless. Can't podcasts know, because you've got
to go through and have a look at where it
is and all that sort of. Yeah, well this raises
a good question.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
We were on a packed underground tube in Amsterdam one day, Jerry.
You were there and a former workmate of ours had
joined us on that trip, and right next to us
was a man who was blind, and he was he's
clearly blind. He had the cane and he had his
phone there with him, and he was talking into it

(04:37):
and then holding it up to his ear and it
was talking back to him. And then he was touching
it with his hands, and so I think how the
blind community do it as they can talk back to them.
And he's confirming that he's pushed the right app and
blah blah blah because he you know, he's talking to it.
And I think that's how he was obviously having a
text conversation with another person, and he would have been sitting,

(04:58):
you know, arms reach. I could have reached out and
just caressed his forehead.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
He's that closse.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
This girl that we used to work with, she was
standing there right next to me, right in front of him,
just staring at him, watching him do it.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
And it made me think, is it rude to steer
at blind people? Know? How? God, that's a good question. Yeah,
well most blind people are not completely like I can't
see anything out black. Yeah, we call them visually impaired.

(05:31):
Nowadays we know we do. We call them. Okay, this guy,
they call them visually imped This guy clearly blind.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Because here's another thing. As a bat, he was using
echo location to text.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
People when they say blind is a bat? They mean
or are they meaning it? Because the bat's not completely blind?
Is it?

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
They're pretty they're visually impaired.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
That is what we say here community.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I can see something something. But when they say when
you say blind is a bat, that means you're really blind? Yeah,
because they don't look.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
They don't They fly around in the dark and they
can still find their way because of their echo location.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
They've got eyes though they do have ice, so the
blind people. Yeah, but they've got eyes that you know that.
But blind people have eyes that normally work, you know,
and a visually unappaired person, whereas bats have got eyes
that don't work. Yeah, A decorative like a son I

(06:43):
mean maybe sonar. I can't be fascinating to know what
it's like to just operate with sonar suck. Yeah, I reckon.
It's in every room you can walk into.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Ah ah.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'll tell you what if you had there have been
no podcasts in the in the sonar community, it will
be the into beauty products. You can listen. You know,
the beauty industry, the beauty myth. You have to worry
about the beauty myth. No botox, no botox, no bowtogs,
nobody worrying about Nobody would be worrying about.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
The hairlines, hairline pep tides.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
No one would That's all about sight, isn't it. It
is and feel in vanity and feel and you refuse
to accept, and your partner putting your hands to your
deluscious thick care. That's nice there. So it's just vanity. Yeah,

(07:42):
just what you're seeing the mate. It's my fault. Sorry.
Can I share a piece of feedback? A little feedback Friday?

Speaker 5 (07:49):
If you will, fellas this I have Houston, Texas. This
is from Lee Ibanize.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
What a name? She writes, Yeah in some gels ebanez.

Speaker 5 (08:05):
I think she's here to the Ibanese guitar fortune. That's
how I'm reading it.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
I agree with you and I is wrong.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
But Lee, feel free to reach out if we have
mispronounced your name. Hi.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I'm new from Houston, Texas. I've been slowly indoctrinated by
kew E since Girl Math, which turned into a Paul
Williams interview, which led me to Taskmaster, which led me
to this radio show, and it's been in my subscription for.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
A while now.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
But what got me was the great interview with Ryan
Fox that was the most intense golf I've ever seen.
I've watched the winning part at least thirty times and
the Caddy bending down and dropping the whole a whole eighteen.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Flag before he has fully crouched the ground to cry.
Is so good. Lastly, as a wife who makes good
intentions but shitty meals, filled with love for my husband.
Your's commentary on that was charming as hell. Yeah, so
shout out to you. Is Lee coming in from Houston, Well,

(09:09):
actually Houston, Texas. I don't know much about that. I mean,
I've been through there lots of times. I've spent a
long time at the airport, Yeah, but never actually been
into the city.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
I've been there twice, and I've never been anywhere. I've
driven past the baseball stadium. There's particularly impressive. The city
looks great. I've only ever skirted around it from one
airport to another.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Tell you what, the George Bush International is a good
airport or the g B I George Bush International?

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Mine the George Bush International. I actually got my got
my ball squeezed at the George Bush International.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
It was the George Bush International. George Down got squeezed
at the George Bush International. They brought me is this
T shirt? I am my ball squeeze? Yeah, that's where
that was good. That was That was good. I know

(10:02):
what was going on there. We all know, don't. Well,
that's why they scan you first. Yeah, we all have
a squeeze on this one. This guy's got a great he's.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Gonna we got a hog, got a hog. I want
to touch that. I want to touch that thing. Annoying
thing about that whole thing is they scanned me. And
if I had, if they had have said, at any
point you anything in your pocket, I would have said, yes,
I have a tissue. That's what set the scanner off.
But at no point did they go, is there anything

(10:32):
in your pocket? They said, y'all got a belt on? No,
even have closed toes, shoes on and gendles. Y'all got
anything else on the mate? I said no, And if
they had it just gone, y'all got anything in your pocket?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Or get a tissue? Sweet, throw that out and then
will be good.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
But no, no, no, he goes, Unfortunately, we have to
squeeze your dick handballs.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I got. Yeah, Well what if there was something mween?
What happens if you go through that security and you've
just decided that you're you've had to take a whole
bag load of didos from one place to another, like
what what is that? They must have seen some stuff,
those people who look at the X ray machine. Yeah,

(11:19):
it comes Why are things in different colors?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Jerry and Mania joined the complaint the HDARKI Breakfast discussion
group on Facebook. For more Jeremy Wells and Mania Stewart
find them on Instagram at HARDARKI Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Have you ever had a look at the actual photograph
on the you know, they have sums of green, somes
of orange, there's there's red, there's some green somes are orange.
I don't know is it.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Does it indicate different materials, perhaps like metal liquids, something
about heat seeking.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Maybe it's heat seeking. Yeah, I don't know. I feel
like they're getting slower those people. Oh maybe that's because
they're not as Maybe that's because there's more complicated things
that they're trying to look for now. But I feel
like those things are those cues are getting bigger. Those
cues are definitely getting They're just like, yeah, yeah, that

(12:12):
person wasn't even looking the screen half the time. They're
snooping around thinking about when the next break was.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
I'm gonna be honest, you'd be pretty unlucky to lid
a terrorist onto a plane in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
You know, oh it's only there because of nine to eleven,
Like we didn't even that didn't even exist. Back before
nine to eleven, you never went through security to go.
Domestic travel was so good, like getting on a bus
set yea, it was so good. Some of them we
still do.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like if you catch one of those regional flights like
Fukati or something, oh yeah, yeah yeah, or the Timaru
one sort of similar.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, funny a that like to go from Auckland to Wellington.
They only put enough fuel on that thing to go
from Auckland to Wellington, so it's not like you couldn't
get anywhere. Yeah, because I think the more fuel your
Actually that's a good question someone as a pilot will know.
We've got a lot of people in the pilot community
to listen, but how much fuel did they put on?

(13:04):
Because is it because you don't want to carry the
fuel because it's so heavy expensive these days. It would
slow you down, and it would it would make you
more an efficient if you carried more fuel. But then again,
it's annoying to have to constantly be filling up all
the time. That takes time.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
You'd want enough that if something went wrong for whatever reason,
you couldn't land in Wellington. You can turn around and
get back to Auckland or something good point, or keep
going and get Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
You need it, you need, but you don't want you
don't want to be full. I'd be a terrible pilot,
so I'd be bloody running out of gas all the time. Buggery.
We could do about that in the one of the reasons,
you'd be a terrible pile Also, know what day it was,
and there'd be all sorts of scheduling issues. I am no.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
If someone else did the scheduling for me, which I
think they do, I'll be all right. It's if I
had to sit there and go on Monday. The third
is what and you want to you want to know
you want to get there by then?

Speaker 2 (13:57):
How are you with the airports in terms of geography
and stuff like that? Can you see can you see geography? Oh? Fuck? Yeah? Okay,
like a motherfucker Okay, yeah, No. I pride myself on
the way I can navigate at an airport. Do you
know your north southeastern wests? I don't think you do.
Are you good on your north side?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
I'm much better in the South Island. I will say
that this is a common phenomenon, phenomena that I've do,
do do that I've discussed with the South Island. As
before is you're in the South Island, you always know
what direction you're facing because you can at any given
time you can either see the sea or the Alps
if you're on the eastern seabook, and so if the

(14:38):
Alps are on your left, you're facing north. If they're
on your right, you're facing south. And so you always
know what way you're facing. You move, you move up
to the North Island. No landmark, no landmark that I
innately know if that's there that I'm facing this way.
I vaguely know where the bridge is, but because of
the angle of the island's on, that's not actually technically.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Pointing in, you know, in the right direction.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
So if you asked me to point, no, but nugget,
I know the bridges over that way, so I'm going
to go, yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Going that way. Interesting other problem for man I being
a pilot before the studio, I know I'm going over there.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I feel like it's kind of this way. Can you
want to point north? I'm saying, you just put Jerry pointed,
You're wrong, man, it's.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Not that way. That's more noise. You're going noise me, Yeah,
your noise.

Speaker 6 (15:34):
Other problem for Manny being a pilot is the amount
of times it gets felt up in an airport, like yeah,
if you're a pilot, and every time it's like a
fucking comes.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I just go through the side. Well yeah, but it's mania,
so you know what's.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Going to happen. The compass are saying that way?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Oh hang on, you're still don't come.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
That's east. Talk to the camp and the purse bra.
But now if I turn my phone.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Okay, putting that down? Oh ship, Yeah, what's that I'm
apparently pointing west? Jerry's Jerry's pretty close.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Fuck. It's one of my I'm a few things I
can do. I'm getting better as I get older. It's
one of those weird I can look at. I can
look at Google Maps is pointing that way too? Google Maps?
As far as I can throw it, I've got two
points of where's your compass?

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Pointing my compass where I was pointing.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
I feel I've done this before. Here where is my compass?
Terrible listening because no one can I can see any
of them. It's great point Okay, you have to go.
How's your What do you like the You're just searching
for anything that will confirm your opinion at this stage, interestingly, Yeah,

(17:04):
all right, I don't trust this compass because it disagrees
with your opinion. No, no, what it's saying, it's saying
that way. But but I don't know why I felt.
I'm thinking about you know where the harbor bridges. Harbor
Bridge basically goes goes north south basically. Yeah, have a
look on a map. So there you go.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
That's a that's a local insight into the north south.
You've got a frame of referenced, Yeah, like a magnet
and the pigeons.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Have a look. Have a look at a map. Speaking
of pigeons. Update on the shark on the show, Oh
big Shark update, Big one, big shark Rugged. Let me
check how big it is. Oh, wouldn't that be the
wackiest radio shit of all time? I just buy myself
a pair of rugged shark shoes. That would be so disappointing.

(17:53):
It's exactly the type of thing that a consultant would
tell me to do. Yeah, so' not doing ooh in
the news bigger than I thought. Oh, Jerry and Maniah
catch the radio show from six to twoteen weekdays.
