Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, okay, okay, is that recordings?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Are we recording? We're standing and we're hanging out the
back of Keezy's ut.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I mean, this is amazing stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Keezy's pick up here. We are the panhead hazy.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I p A. I mean I would say that we are.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We are exactly halfway between Kayawa and Miranda on what
is an absolute stunner of a day. Quite bleak, you'd say,
late late winter is what this is? Classic late winter.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Well, there's this sun and this rain, and there's wind,
that's right, And there's a giant cow.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's what.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
That is the biggest cow I've ever seen.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It's about a third bigger than the other cows around it.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's about the size of a really big cow. Yeah,
it's exactly. It's how you describe it.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
The cow's bigger in this area of the country than
they are anywhere else. Do you think is there something
to do with what's in the grass head?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
The biggest cows are in the cattle, are they?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah? Really, I've seen some big cows up north. I've
seen a couple of biggies up there.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
But there's you're right, that's a particularly big freezing Yeah,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Big, old, dirty, old Freegian.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I mean, if you explain to people while we're here
and while we're doing this, I think while we're.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Doing this because we're celebrating Penhes pick up Hazy ip
A and we're.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
On the greatest route as voted for by Haki listens
to the men Jerry Brikfast show.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Are you sure that everybody who's voted this the greatest
rout's actually been on this route?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I haven't seen a lot on this route that would.
I mean, you know, I've been big advocate for the
Big Root from the start of this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, too big an advocate if you were to ask me.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
But yeah, look now that now that I'm here on
this root fellas, I am starting to question.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
I mean, like, the only thing that's really blown me
away has been that cow, and that cow is not
always here.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, there's two things that's blown me away when it's
this fucking wind.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
This wind is.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
Literally blown me away, and sickond is that cow.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah? But look, this is only the beginning of the route.
Let's be honest. Because we've been on the road for
a couple of hours. Well, stay a Highway one.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Unfortunately you have to take the Auckland Southern Motorway to
get to.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
This route, and it's the worst part of the road.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
No one told me that.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And then you get through Miranda here and interestingly, no
godwits today, which is slightly disappointing because this is normally
the place where you spot the godwits. So God, what's
come all the way? They loved us as a route?
Would they get a dottoral down here? You get a doctoral?
I mean I can see a pieds still just over.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
There, but would you get a shag down this way?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
The fact that the doctorals come all the way from
Siberia and then they fly here. They've decided that this
is the place. There's the only place they want to come.
And Miranda, why is this the only place? I do
not know. It's so weird, but this is the place.
I mean, it's fine here, like it's great disrespect too
stuck in their ways.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You know, Evonne goes, well, there's bloody albu trusts owing
to go here, and here it's like, okay, mate, well
mix things up, try some other things. I mean, you
don't celebrate someone go This guy only goes from here
and he's at that same pub every day, and then
he goes to the same shop and then home again.
Anyone goes amazing, beautiful, what a what an incredible beautiful
(03:21):
world we live in. It's like, can the God's just
go may or do something else? Go somewhere else? Have
they been the Queen's down?
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Well, that's why I'm confused, as well, man is, because
there are just better places in the world than this,
and I don't mean that, And then you disrespect for
what to where we are, because it's a lovely part
of the country.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Place your entire life and breeding cycle around the stretch
of beach with.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Some boomers and some it's a bold decision and some
bloody like the cows, all right, the girl godwits love
the cows. Also, No, I don't know why they love
it here. There's something that some kind of food obviously
that they are impressed by. And maybe they come here
to I'm pretty sure they come here to. I think
they come here to feed, and then I think they
go up to Siberia to breed.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, don't just don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
They'll have to fly, and they want to fly. We'll
just fly half way around the world. Upsets.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
What have they been to Mauritius.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I think it's the largest migration in terms of miles
or ka's than of any animal in the world.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's just not it's quite out of it. Yeah, but
as it optimized.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Thanks Chris Well, they can't hang out here and the
bloody But if.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Humans are migrating, if humans were to migrate, they just
choose the country right next to the one that they're in.
I mean, it's lazy really in hindsight, when you put
it next to something like the dodtrel. How do you
tell Jerry a difference between a large seagull and an albatross.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Todd Campbell's just ringing through. Pixie Campbell, how's it going?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
We had a Pixi We're just recording a podcast around
some dottrels.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Apologize.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
That's just in the middle of that now, Pixy.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Can you will give you a call across? Okay? All right, good, okay,
cheers Pixie. That was Pixy Campbell.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
What do you want?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What was wanted you to touch base with? NGI I
think it was.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You with it. He wanted you to I'm pretty sure
I heard that. I'm pretty sure he wanted you to do.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Okay, So why did the dottrels? Yeah, no, not the
dottles have got It's someplace they can be all year round.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That God works. Firstly, there God works.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
What was they calling them?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Got it's what? Got it? G got it? You're thinking
of got it?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Actress are the wonder woman?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Why do they want to come here? Yeah? Because they
always have. That's just what they do. The God rules.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
No, that's the dotreals are a different thing. They stay here,
but the God works. They they they decide that that's
what they love flying, I love going to different places.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That they are international travelers.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
They're not these god what's aren't funk? What are they?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Probably some of them? One. I think the weirdest thing
is that there's there's a.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Moment where there are none, right, so there's none here,
and then there's the first God that arrives.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, how did it get here? It's a long way.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You could get it so badly wrong, Like you could
end up in the wrong country very easily. When you
when you're talking about a place that far, how come
it knows not only to come to New Zealand. That
would be impressive that it could find its way through.
I couldn't find my way from Siberia, even knowing what
I know about a map. How on earth does it
know not only to come to New Zealand, but to
(06:45):
come to the Firth of Thames.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
That's weird.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
GPS, Well, that must must be something.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Can they sense the magnetic lines?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
What are they?
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They're sensing someone and we don't know anyway. They're doing
something that we don't know. Oh, should I can get
lost go to the bathroom in my house?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
No, it is impressive. I just don't know if it's necessary. Like,
there's no doubt it's impressive. But you know, it's one
of these things that made sense for a long time.
But I think, you know, and you know, I've just
been reading a little bit about the host of New Zealand,
but it was pretty easy to track where these birds
were going to be at what time of year when
you're feeling hungry, you know, you know, But I guess.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
We've got to hold on. We've got a got a
car coming through here, camper van.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Heerr, they love It was Robin Bain, was it?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, that was Robin Bain, just pulling up with this caravan.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He looks.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Is he still with us, isn't he.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Pretty sure?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Just having a look at how long we've been going here,
fellas seven minutes.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And fifty three seconds. How long do we have to
go for?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Do you think before we how we contracted for on
this podcast for just.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Let me have a look here at our brief but
we need ten minutes or another two here would be
good boys?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So have you got anything else apart from Godwin's I thought,
what have you? Boy?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I thought on Keysy's bloody pack up?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean, it's a nice packup, isn't it. Will him
and his father have achieved here together? He has paid
me to say that. I think it was mainly just
his father, but it is really something special. I've been
driving up behind it, haven't I? Fellas as you guys
have been bringing up the rare as you always like
to do. You've been lamping it up there up the
front of the cabin. What I noticed though, Matt, you're
looking fine in the middle seat. But Jerry, how come
(08:33):
you were so much shorter when sitting on that side
of the car, on the right hand side of the car,
which is not where the steering wheel is in this
In this pickup truck. Then you are where Keysy's on
the left, Keyesy is just a yeah or ane from you?
Is that side of the car higher than that side?
Because Jerry looked quite short next to you. I wonder
if you've got also do you know what it always
(08:54):
all the best things came out in sixty seven?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I thought it was I thought it was I thought
it was twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Did you sixty seven? It's a sixty seven, But I truck.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I was asking about what year it was now all
this summer.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Forty five seconds to go.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Boys, I've never been in the middle of a you know,
I've never been in the middle of each seat before
on a roadie never, And it's quite a different experience
because because you know the rear view mirror, it's right
in the middle of your view, so you can't see
anything in front of you.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, I see what you're saying. Did get hands?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
And you know he's a massive advocate for the.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
For the road hit. Did you think about kind of
offering him some helping hands? There was never any mention
of that.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Oh really, Well, you're guys are probably talking across each
other because sometimes you both are interested.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
But what I do is I get.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You out past Thames and then ask for the road
head and then if it doesn't happen, then you're walking back.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
That makes sense, makes sense?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yeah, good leverage just past Tens it's very leverage kicks in.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
So what what.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Kind of cars this?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It's the sixty seven sixty seven seven Cheerby pick up.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
It's very I can see Bruce Springsteen hanging out the
back of this on an album cover.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, yah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Actually I watched a documentary about Elvis the other day
and in his early years, about mid years actually, there
was a clip of a whole lot of people on
the back of one of these going to one of
his concerts.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
I was like, well, that's actually been around for a
long time.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It's pretty amazing. Sixty seven at least sixty seven, that's right, yeah, which.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Is crazy, right, Yeah, it was the sixty seven shift.
Did that look completely different than so sixty four shift?
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Sixty seven was the first year of the shape of truck.
So there's a different squarer one and a more rounded
one in the fifties and then this is the first
year of this particular model. This last until seventy two,
and then they went to the you might see these boxy,
square looking ones. That's when those started. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Is this interesting? Are you just killing time? When I
was in Texas, I drove a very similar to this,
a Shief. I think it would be the same, but
I think it was. I think it was actually in
nineteen seventy. But anyway, I had a gun across the
back attached.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
It was there was an optional shotgun thing that came
from the factory.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's right, Yeah it was.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
I didn't notice for a bit and I was like,
it's got a shotgun attached along the back just behind
my hid.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Thought that's pretty cool. Wow, yeah is it. I didn't
have to shoot anyone. Nah, Yeah, I didn't kill anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I did.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
This came from Alabama, though, so I do not know
who was driving this before I got my hands on it,
So that's worry.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Okay, it might be signed Grand Wizard.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What's a.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So you have a lot of pillow cases in here?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
There are a lot of plow cases?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Was it branded cases?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Quite something? Okay?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Fellas well, that's twelve minutes. Are we happy with that?
I think probably absolutely. I mean, enuf we've ever done like.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You can follow a lot with jaw?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Could you by just following us? Doesn't that like you've
got to know when you're finished it's going to rain.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh it is about to rain. Okay, we're going to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well, I think so much, panhead Hazy, I p a ye.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
For facilitating orchestrating us going on the New Zealand's greatest.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Route, and we are having a great time. I feel
like I don't need to say that at this point
we are great.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I don't know why you need to. Of course we're
having a great time. That cow is having a great time.
Fucking massive. Why wouldn't we be having a great is
a fucking big cow. I don't care if we take
one thing away from here. We should take that cow?
Is it because it's black and white? So it makes
it look bigger than the black?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Because Jerry, I'm worried in this illusion.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I'm worried that it's an illusion because I saw just
a normal like a black one that we empisoded for
and made that big go and look about normal.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
So I reckon you just see like the cower clops
out thereable coasis?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Okay? Are we Is this a.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Bit garage like a mirage?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
A garage of cows. Is this a free camping spot?
We're parked up right now?
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I am wow. I was on tour once with the
band Bitch Dooper called it's.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
A mirage and I was in the car with them
financially and this mirage went passed and win it's a
it's a mirage like the song when that's good. And
he said that's demoralizing because that song was about a mirage,
not a it's a mirage, And he said.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
From then on it kind of lost the magic of
one of his favorite songs. I'd writt because then he
was just always thinking about him it's.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
A mirage because the mirage is a thing, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
A mirage is a bad thing?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yes, I think I think he was talking about it
in terms of the relationship. Was a mirage that wasn't real, right,
But then from then on it was about a bitsy
you seem freezing, we standing on the person rain and
with some electrical guess, so should we, hey boy?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Having fun?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Of course? I mean nobody said we were. Oh shit,
you it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And I reckon you bring out constantly saying we're having
fun and asking for having.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Funers calling it to question who actually yeah, having fun,
a lot of fun, feel alive.
