Speaker 3 (00:12):
We're going to get a wonderful Stacey Morrison used to
be the afternoon host here on that she's going to
come in and talk all things Martariki after seven o'clock
this morning. You know, I know it's about a cluster
of stars, the Martadiki stars in the sky the new
Year for Marty. But they have a deeper It's got
a deeper meaning. Each star represents something. Does it come
the coming twelve months?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
And the backstory that I kind of the legend about
someone ripping out their eyes and throwing them into the sky.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
So yeah, I'll find out.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
But it's extreme.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yeah, well hey, it extremely. It's the commitment to getting
a holiday for us.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Would you rip out your eyes for a long weekend?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Possibly?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, I do what real special day we're going to
be talking to Stacey Morrison, As you said, after seven
o'clock this morning yesterday announced Public Enemy coming to New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
It's good to see you know, artists are still coming
to New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You know, we've been snubbed by the likes of Tape
Swift recently Olivia Rodrigo.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
They'd be like, no, not coming to New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Public Enemy have forgotten where we are in the world.
That's wonderful eighties hip hop band Public Enemy. I should
get some Public A music.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
You should Flavor Flav. You'll know him a very distinctive
hype man for Public Enemy. He's the guy who always
you know, has has grill and his teeth you know
best best educated.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Fast forward to this, But is Muhammad Ali like I
do never to speak to Muhammad Ali, but by the power, Yeah,
it's very.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Cool and Flavor Flav carries the Big clock around as well.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
The Massive Big.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Now I've always wondered is it a functioning clock? Is
it factoring in daylight savings different time when he's on tour.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I didn't manage to interview him a few years ago
when we were traveling through America and Las Vegas for
a TV show, And yeah, he did say it was
most of the clocks do function. But I don't think he's
too worried about daylight savings or the zone.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
He said, oh you should be, because like if you're
coming on and traveling through Europe, you definitely want to
adjust because if you've got to be clock, people are
going to look at it and reference time like a
town clock.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, they got to ask you the time, They go,
what's up with it? You know? Our favor favor.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
He's very cool, dude, say he's always wearing glasses caps
on big big clock.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
He's ultimate. Heype man, isn't he?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
You have a listen?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
This is this is him from his dating show, isn't
it Flavor of Love? Which which I am going to
put my hand on heart and say, this was hands
down the best reality dating show that was ever in
the market. It was like The Bachelor, except with strippers.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Looks very funny.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Flavor.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I go down there, all these girls wind up my
old my flavor of flavor.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
You're the king, the king once again.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Do you remember the first episode that I itched in
my memory that one of the wonderful ladies who are
looking for flavors love they used his as a bathroom
as for you like really and not and not a
nice house and not number one?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Oh really?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Wow, the foyer he was. I think he came down
and he's like, man, there's a why did you use
the foyer? I think she got eliminated too. I'm not surprised.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I just thinctly remember when you know lucky enough to
interview him in Las Vegas, and at the end of
it he was like, Hey, you need to get my
keys from the valet section of the casinos, Big Casino,
Las Vegas. He's like, could you walk me down there?
Because he kept by himself. He turned up with no entourage,
no nothing.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Why did he want you to walk aware?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
It was just like, oh, can you just kind of
come down with me?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And like his hype man, yes, really weird and our director,
you know, Andy had made of ours as well, agreed.
Big two of us, two white dudes walking down with
flavor flave down.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Very uncool, nerdy, sort of white.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Dude, are you walking in line? All you behind him?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
A little bit behind him, just a step or two
behind it.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
But it was amazing walking through the casino, everyone just
yelling out Flavor flag and then looking at us like,
who those weird guys?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
If you if someone was filming you and you put
it in slow motion with this music, it's cool.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
He was a lot cool, But what would you have
look like a little awkward little like why are they
so close like the world's worst bodyguards if they are bodyguards,
or the world's worst hype people.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
But how far to his card? As you walk them?

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right far?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Like say, it's a good ten to fifteen minutes, look
to the point where you're like waving goodbye to and
then it.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Well, no, we just got his keys and his amount
of keys. It was like he was carrying like he
was a janitor and like a cloamy the keys.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, so what do you imagine with a guy with
the clock around his nig's geting a lot.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Of a lot of keys the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Hoplessly handing her phone number out to strangers. Wouldn't advise
my daughter to do that.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's called me maybe maybe it's an option right to
New South Wales winning the second stet of Origin game
late last night, so that means an inCider for game three,
which is always very exciting.

Speaker 4 (04:44):

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Now you've been editing Condie your daughter, have you?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, yeah, we're talking about this the other day, you
know whereas you know, as appearance you want to help
out when you can with Yeah, help out with assignments
and stuff with your kids. And you were helping out
what are you doing something about the life cycle of
plants or something?

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, got excellence achieved for that. Just got that information
through last night.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
Yeah, well very other results. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well so my wife, my wife Amanda, she's a teacher,
so she's actually really helpful and a lot of the
kids homework, you know, when it comes to two mass
to science and things like that.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
I mean she's she.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Knows that's great.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Good.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Same position with me. I'm no good. Does all the
heavy lifting in her household.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I can do it like a basic stuff. But I
mean she's learning, she's doing it every day, so it's great.
So with the opportunities where I do get to help,
I'm like, great, I'm all, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
What did you get carried away with something you're built.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Like toilet toilet paper rolls and you never got the mark.
I'm still waiting to find out where we spent all
night on that thing?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
How long did you been on that whole? Warts produce
A long time?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I really got I've probably got two into it. I
was like, oh, you can do this and do that,
and the kids are like we're going to go to bed.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Now, how many toilet rolls?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Because I was toilet rolls and it was painting all
stuff and I painted like yeah, win deep, yeah, paper towel, Yeah,
I really went deep on it.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
But as you get to the point where you were
like literally ripping toilet paper off.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Just so you get to the role, yeah, painting her
papertael things. Yeah, anyway, so I let that one go.
But my my daughter Indy at the moment, she has
been doing an assignment. They have to choose stuff that
interests them and this this tim was about creating something
in the kitchen. So she's been learning how to make macarons.
It's quite a good project. So she was doing it
at home. Didn't quite work out, And then we talked
to the local guy, a lovely guy who runs like

(06:25):
a French cafe down the road, and he's like, oh,
come on, I'll teach you how to do it.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
And you're like, help provide the ingredients.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Is it quite a trick to make a macarons?

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Like doing it at home is very hard?

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Is a macaroonal macaron?

Speaker 4 (06:36):
That's he keeps saying, macarons great for the excent.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, So yeah, so, but they need to capture this
on video and make a little video. So I'm like, great,
this is where I feel like I can help out Indy,
you know, with her assignment. I'm like, I've made lots
of little videos, so I'm like, let's do like a
master Chief parody. He's coming with a comedy, but I'll
make it like we'll rip off the mark shift titles

(07:01):
and whats and things and.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
There, and you can tell Andy and what.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I love it. It's not a skitch dead.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
I love about ending my daughter twelve.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
She's very like she knows what she likes, she knows
what she does like, and that's great. That's a great thing.
But it makes it very difficult for me to put
your ideas. I'm like, what about this, and then she's like,
I don't know what it means. I'm like, that's all right,
give me a second. I'll put a little voice over.
I'll do some stuff and put it out and then
it's like bring it back to the clients, and she's
looking at I.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
I like the voice over. I'm like what, I'm like,
nothing but makes skits.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And you put the past music behind him.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
I try.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I tried to put it in and then she'll play
with the in it and I'm like, oh, you've taken
that out heavy, and she was like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
I don't think it's working.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
And I'm getting annoyed by my wife had to set
me down and go, it's not your assignment.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
I'm like, but but I've.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Got I'm she's she's starmy in your creativity, made cutting
you off at the past.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, so the voiceover was gone.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
That's gone.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
That's gone. She's allowed me to was going, you know,
bating the situation.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
You're doing the voice.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I've been asked from that voice job. Yeah, the titles
are still there. It's good, but then it very quickly
moves from a mastership parody and just to just cooking stuff.
But she's done a wonderful job. Contestant I was putting
I wanted a job for me. Yeah, I'm still in
there as a host. For like two seconds.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
That fringe guy must have been going, maybe this is
just lost in translation, but I'm not getting this.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
So we'll see what I don't don't know what the
marks are going to be on that one, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (08:32):

can we please think that's wonderful cluster of stars, the
Martiniki stars for this long weekend and the Maori new Yon. Okay,

It's going off in Queensland. People, but quite literally, from

(10:05):
all over the country come to Queenstown. But it's Vietnam.
They drive from christ Church to the Cargo. They fly
from Auckland, Wellington. The North Island has become South Islanders
this weekend. That's what happened.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, it sounds epically and I'm meant to be representing
the North. But that does sound it.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Sounds like a lot of fun. It sounds like not
much sleep in Queenstown this weekend.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
Not at all.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Are you going along corner? No?

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Not this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm attending muster Ekey events.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
I'm I see.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
So you're coming to the North Island because the South
Island's got nothing for you to offer, so you've got
to come to the North Island this weekend.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Is That's what happened. That's what's happening.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
Here's why we're crounding our own team. That's why we're
doing that.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Okay, but a sledging going on here. Okay, come in
mister cocky North Island. What do you go?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Firstly, yeah, I just want to reiterate that Connor is
coming to the North so that must mean that's the
best island straight away this weekend for the wars, and
the wars are on as well. But the mon who
must that's taking place in the beautiful Bay of Islands
off the Russell Wharf on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
One thousand dollars worth of prizes for grabs ridges from
ten o'clock. If you've got it, jump into the water
making a bit of a splash.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Have you ever done a money bin?

Speaker 4 (11:12):
No, I'm not very I've tried.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
You know once a the Funga Matar wharf. When you
go to the wharf at New Year's there's all the
kids there and they're magnificent at Munu's And then I
was just I was doing some old school nineties old
man staple. He's doing the staple and they're like, do
a man uber and boy boy, the pressure, the peer
pressure literally on the pier and I blew it absolutely
to the point where everyone's like, ooh because I slapped

(11:37):
my back.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah, mistimed. Well that's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
That's part of the fun to go along and watch
the Money Masters, and just quickly in Hamilton they've got
a kid's scavenger hunt outdoors on Saturday, which looks like
a lot of fun. You Basically, it's just like sending
the kids around the city. Hope they come back, and
I'm sure they will.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
What's what they do in Japan? You know, they're sitting
toddlers out on their own it catch the train today
here and everything.

It's like it's a show about it, isn't he there is?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
So there we go, send your kids out to the
city and pray they come. All right, Listen, I need
to judge who's having the best weekend this weekend now,
despite his clear conflict of interest coming to the north
representing the South, I'm gonna say, Connor, you've taken it
out with Mary Queenstown.

Speaker 8 (12:16):
I just want to mention as well, the current man
who world champion is from christ and his name is John.
I So there you go.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Okay, really well, least least one John's doing good things
for my new's.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
I really appreciate every wonderful weekend and we'll see it.
The Worries May doing your ground announcing.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah the hits that Johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
N Cole Nicole and you your good morning.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
How are you?

Speaker 9 (12:43):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I know we're good mate. Lovely to see you on
holiday next week, are you.

Speaker 10 (12:48):
Yeah, we're going down. This isn't probably mean very much.

Speaker 7 (12:50):
We're going down to the Outer Banks, down to North Carolina.
It's like a really fun beach town.

Speaker 10 (12:54):
Awesome for a couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
School holidays there or no, it's we just we.

Speaker 10 (12:59):
Kind of take them when we want.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Like there's obviously a holiday time like around the Christmas,
Thanksgiving that kind of stuff, but in the summer we
take them here and there. There's not really a designated
it's like a spring break in like a winter break
for like kids in school. But our vacations and holidays
are way different than yours.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
We get a lot of holidays. You guys don't give
you Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're workaholics.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Here, here's a question for you.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Because my kids, you know, they love watching videos on
TikTok and they keep talking about Raising Canes, which is
like an American a fast food restaurant, kind of similar
to KFC, but it's got dipping sauces for the chicken.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
They're like, one day, we need to go to Raising Canes.
Have you been there? How good is it?

Speaker 6 (13:33):
We finally went.

Speaker 7 (13:34):
Because it's usually down south, they don't usually have it
up here, so they made they have one a little
bit downtown in New York City. I went a couple
of months ago. It tastes like they actually actually like
inject juice into the chicken.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
But that's how juicy it is. It is stupid good.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
And I love in America that the cheese, the cheese.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
I don't want to know exactly it if it is
cheese or it's not cheese, but it comes out in
a different, slightly color, but cheese, and it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
She's when it's over nachos and things like.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
That, Yeah, that's not cheese. You don't want to know
what that is.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
I mean, it's sure as how tastes delicious.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
But honestly, I feel like you go to America like
this is the greatest cuisine I love.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Oh, I know another thing that's happening in New York
right now currently, Justin Timberlake is here.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh so he is ask you about that because obviously
he got a duy drunk driving.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
He's still going to go through the courts, I imagine.
So he's back on the world tour. Is that happening,
I mean, I guess.

Speaker 10 (14:35):
I mean he did tell the cops. You read what
the cops said that he said, this.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Is going to totally ruin the tour.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
And the guy was like, what he said the World
Tour was is just hysterical.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
And because the cop had no idea who he was
when he was bathtesting him for his drink driving.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
Charge, I think the cop was young and listen, like
I mean to me, Justin timerlike isn't like for like
an older generation, but listen like a kid now like
in high school.

Speaker 10 (15:00):
They probably don't know Justin Timberling is.

Speaker 7 (15:02):
And I saw a couple articles when it first came
out and the headline said Trolls star gets impressed and
I was like, oh god, the trolls.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Well listen, you know, on the on the scale of
crimes that can be committed, it's probably the light or
and he'll make his way through it.

Speaker 10 (15:28):
He'll be just fine. He'll be just fine. People forget it.
It's onto.

Speaker 7 (15:33):
As soon as there's another scandal or another story, it'll
be done.

Speaker 10 (15:36):
People get forget very easily.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well, because we see, speaking of these sorts of things,
we see an article, you know where someone like Ariana
Grande pop star actor as well. She was on a
podcast got asked who she would like to have dinner
with anyone, and she said Jeffrey Dahma, the serial killer,
because she'd like to pick his brain. She's fascinated by it. Now,
this is obviously caused, but a backlash. Now, how long
will the specklash last? Or we'll be onto something else tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
I've already been onto something else, Like I mean, like
that's already.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Out of the news cycle.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
But you know what, like I didn't.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
I didn't hate on her for that, because have you
ever played that game, like at a dinner when someone
said you could have dinner with anybody like.

Speaker 10 (16:12):
Dead or alive. It doesn't mean you have to.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
Like regard them in any like positive way. You could
just be fascinated by them. That's why there's TV shows
and crime shows about these people. It doesn't mean you
think they're a good person. I don't think she thinks
he's a good person. I think she's fascinated by his
being a sociopath, you know, being a killer.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
It wasn't shoot shagged Mary. And she's like, yeah, you're right, right.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, yeah, that's very good. That's a very good Okay,
So a net regard, who are we inviting to? Don
it the most shocking person you could invite to. Now,
this doesn't mean that you admire them, you're fascinated.

Speaker 7 (16:50):
Can we just get drinks and like, see if we
like vibe and if then then we can move on
to dinner.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah okay, well I have some drinks and I'm not
vibe with someone like Kim Jong. Come jong on.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Right, yeah, vie Kim Jong.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
I don't know if anybody vibes with them, even the
people in this country. But I've always said it would
be interesting to sit down with Jesus Christ.

Speaker 10 (17:11):
I have a lot of questions for him.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
I want to know he would have the water to
wine covered for you for the evening. He's got drink
sort of by a sort of listen. This has been

little bit of a shocker with her. Something that's going
very viral on the internet right now. You may have
heard a phrase.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hop Hawk tour.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
You've gotta give him now, howk too?

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Now it comes from It's become a big meme.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
It's got it's crazy all over TikTok all over social media.
You may have seen, you may not have heard. It
both comes from a lady in America. She was being
an interview out and about on a night out with
her mate. And Nashville has just been, she's been interviewed
and this is what.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
She said, Oh you go to give him that houck
that day.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Now I'm on TikTok now and I'm trying to keep
across all these latest trends and stuff, making little videos
and the daughter and things like that. So I'm trying
to stay topical. I'm trying to see cross things. And
I'd seen this meme pop up.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Are you going to give her that houck?

Speaker 10 (19:24):
What are you going to give them.

Speaker 11 (19:25):
That houck on that name?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
And I had seen memes where people were putting it
over the top of cleaning cars and stuff. You know beautiful, Okay,
it must be a meme related to making sure.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
You polish your brass like VARs.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
You want your cars to look great. This is where
this meme is from.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
So I was like, I'd seen this, and on Saturday morning,
I was with the family and I'm going around saying,
you gotta give her that you know that saying it
we're on the way to nibble off doing that, was
saying it out about.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I was saying it was a phrase of the day.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I was like, this is funny because it's about cleaning cars,
is it?

Speaker 3 (20:00):
It was it killing it with the family.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
They would love me to, getting a little bit annoyed
with me, like, what do you keep saying?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I know I'm enjoying saying that, And then I realized
I was at the gym a couple of hours later,
looking at my phone in between doing some stuff, and
then I realized, oh, dear god, no, she's not talking
about cleaning cars. She's talking about something far, far more adult,
which we don't need to get into it breakfast radio
and produce to tell you're mortified that I was going.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Around mortified the fact that you're the one that brought
it to your.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Family, and I'm saying and then I'm like, and then
I had to take the family from the gym, go hey,
any jokes made about this, Let's start doing it. And
they replied back, going, you're the one making jokes. No
one else did you call a family crisis leading? And
they're like, what does it mean. I'm like, let's not
get into what it means, what it's about, it's not important.
Let's all agree we don't say that anymore.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
As that dude, it's become I kind of feel like
the girl because you couldn't have funny you couldn't have
missed the memo on that any harder.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
And she was funny, the girl who was out and
about doing this.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
And hopefully she's all right, because I know how the
internet is when you know she's become a superstar overnight,
and she was very, very funny. And you hope that
she's still finding it funny.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, I think they're trying to track her down and stuff.
It was a fun gig. It was a fun night out.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, she looked had a great time. She looked like
a great person. So hopefully she's doing all right.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
You're not like a terrible person saying in front of
your family though, I know, so.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
Just the word for the wise, maybe it's not a
thing you should say.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I did figure out your young daughters.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
In so Lisa learns on that one.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
So I will no longer be jumping on memes until
I know the full story. We'll be doing after well, yeah,
well I don't do that after eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
We won't be giving it a hot tour after o'clock.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
But someone had some address address. That was a.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Great moment on the afternoon show You stay with Medi
and PJ about a wedding dress.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
It was incredible.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Yeah, how and through the people listing on the hats,
I managed to save someone's wedding. We'll bring up to
speed a few moments on the hats.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Shut on, cheers to Hello Fresh, the experts and Tastes
of kiwis Love.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Start when you're way the heads the johnaan Ben Podcast.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Of course it's Martaiki tomorrow and we've got Stacey Morrison
with us in the studio.

Speaker 12 (22:12):
Lovely to have you in here, well, lovely to be
here Manoti Martiqui and getting ready for Matariqui.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Now Martariqi is I know that it's about the a
cluster of the Martariqui stars which sort of happened towards
the end of this month, early July.

Speaker 12 (22:26):
Yes, I guess the first day we celebrate tomorrow, we're
going to have to have the day off, guys going
to have yeah yeah, Well, actually the whole week is
the Martadiki season. So what we call Martauriki season is
dependent upon that when the stars are visible again, because
there's about a one month period where us that sets
as in where we are positioned we can't see them anymore.

(22:47):
And then when it comes back and it aligns with
a tongue or a moon which is a certain moon phase.

Speaker 13 (22:52):
Then that's when it starts. It's for our whole week.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
Will change each year, right yeah.

Speaker 12 (22:57):
Actually just like Easter does similar or a gym, but
this is Luna stella, so it's like where the stars
are and also relation to the moon at that time.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
So now is it five hundred stars or something that's
up in this cluster? But you can only see what
my daughter came back from schools like, you know, you
see like six of them or something to the naked
eyes that's something.

Speaker 13 (23:15):
Yeah, well well nine but is wrong. Yeah, she probably
got it right, you got wrong.

Speaker 12 (23:20):
That's I'm going to say, no maiki events at school.

Speaker 13 (23:26):
So yeah, they're so here for it.

Speaker 12 (23:29):
Will we say nine and some we seven and others.
But basically it's going to look like a little cluster
is a good word. We can identify each star and
the reason that that's important in cause because they all
relate to a different aspect of the environment or of
our well being.

Speaker 13 (23:45):
So yeah, one of the.

Speaker 12 (23:47):
Stars, for instance, is Pohutakawa, just like the tree, and
that relates to remembering those who passed and you know,
belief that they are actually now in a different phase.
When we see matadiki, we see them moving to become
stars and say, experts can look and at oh, okay,
the reason that we're you know, they're kind of attached
to one part of the environments. Then they can go oh, oh, look,

(24:07):
it's that's about the Wind's going to be a windy year.
Last year, someone missed the fact that there was a
big one for wa for the rain.

Speaker 13 (24:14):
Could have seen that coming. There's going to be a
lot of rain.

Speaker 12 (24:17):
So those kind of elements of pretection have always been
part of matadiki in the sort of deeper understanding of it.
But that's that's when we're talking doctor and the experts
to kind of know that deeper level. But all of
us can go, oh, to, that's about crops in the ground.
Let's have kumra a or go to, which is kind
of kai that comes from the trees or above. And

(24:38):
people have said, so how about KFC, you know, accessible.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
The legends, the story behind it involves some sort of
tearing out of eyes.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yes, is it correct?

Speaker 12 (24:51):
Yeah, So mataiki is a shortened version of mata or
aki mada the eyes of the deity Ti out there,
who is the god of the winds, basically, and he
was so deeply enraged that his parents, the sky father
Laney and the earth mother Papatuanuka, were separated to create

(25:11):
the world of light, that he tore his eyes out,
smashed them up, and threw them into the sky to
sit on the chest of his father. So that's what
we see. Mataika like has smashed up eyes. Basic it
made him blind, as you can tell. And that's why
the wind kind of comes at us from different angles.
It's blind and doesn't have you know, it's not.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Well now, I see there's a lot of events planned. Well,
how can we celebrate. What's a great way to celebrate
this every way?

Speaker 12 (25:36):
Like say, you know where your kids at school? Or
I mean most importantly, Kai so maia hedy kai is
the theme this year to feast just being out, you know,
in the cold, going this is us.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
This is us.

Speaker 12 (25:49):
We look up to the night sky and we go, yeah,
I've got some things to think about from the last year.
I'm going to look ahead to the next year. One
of my friends I work with, he's gonna go, okay,
new year.

Speaker 13 (26:00):
You me and you Mati. I'm going to give up energy.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Drinks, giving up the bloody monsters.

Speaker 12 (26:06):
Wow, I think he's actually going I'm going to cut
them back up.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's also a good one to reset your other New
Year's resolutions.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
It didn't work out so well, you're like, oh, now
I can start or something.

Speaker 13 (26:17):

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The Hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Every interesting conversation at last out my son's basketball game.
So it's sort of nearing on darkness and a bit
of a backstory. I'm a very impatient driver being you've
publicly stated this before, very erratic, volatile driver on the roads.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And something the other day Carma.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
There was karma, yeah, and it was it was driving
to work and there was a rubbish truck that was
just taking its time going in and out of a drive.
I was like, and I tried to try to sort
of go round the truck and then doing so, scraped
my door along the traffic island and those floppy signs
and cars and the panel beats. So I've got a rental.
There's a black black Toyota, just a black Toyota rental car.

(27:36):
And I get out of the car and.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Similar, I like how they go. You want to a
cart that awesommer?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
That's a great that's a great ass cover, isn't it?
Just put it in bracket?

Speaker 4 (27:45):
You're like, oh, that's what looks great. All similar.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
We could kind of do that with this radio show,
the World's Greatest Radio show.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Also, yeah, that would be good. I wandered the World's
Greatest Radio show.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Similar Actually side note, sorry to dog leave. When I
was getting it, you know the classic trope about do
you get the rental insurance or not? Ah? And I
said no, I said no. He's like he lit a
little ken out of the bear here. He says, have
you got have you got normal insurance day to day?
And I said yeah. He's like, you'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Sometimes that doesn't cover it, though, Oh, don't tell me there.
That's I don't know if I know that.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Overseas, when you look at stuff, it's it's you were
rental car. Overseas, your actual travel insurance doesn't cover rent Okay,
you made me very new, but I don't know you
need Yeah, fine, just star't get impatient.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, drive like a normal human being the rental car.
So I get out of the car, and then from
the darkness, I hear, hey, mate, nice car, and I'm like, oh,
thank you, thank you. I didn't have the heart to
tell him it was mine, it was just a rental,
and I was like, I can't be bothered explaining. I
said thank you very much. But then he came out
of the shadows and I'm like, well, he's complimented me.

(28:47):
And then when you I feel like receiver compliment as
a human being, it's like a game of tennis. You
need to love one back over. So I'm looking him
up and down and I'm like, what can I quickly
in the moment compliment him about now, just bearing in
mind this is happening, and so the space of zero
to two seconds, and I'm like, mate, I love your ponytail.
He had a ponytail right dangling off the beckers. Yeah,

(29:09):
And he's like, oh, you just take the compliment. Maybe
the compliment they didn't go, yeah, because I've seen nice
car and you've come back with a nice ponytail. And
it was a great ponytail. And for someone who can't
grow one, yea, I fully admire that you can grow.
It was you know, probably I would say half a
meter long, dangling off the back.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Of the head. But he's probably thinking, is this guy
taking the.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
That's what I thought when I was walking away? So
what man returns a nice ponytail after you just said, hey,
there's a good car. So I don't know where where
if he is listening now, I genuinely mean it right.
It was a it was a lovely ponytail. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
But he'll be thinking, he'll be questioning it, won't he.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Shave it off?

Speaker 3 (29:50):
He's not going to. It wasn't a psarchastic tone.

really amazing moment yesterday Maddie and PJ in the afternoons
found out about Lauren. Now, Lauren is actually getting married today,
but yesterday afternoon she discovered that her wedding and her
wedding dress in particular, wasn't going to be fit for
the wedding.

Speaker 15 (33:46):
Today, one very very stressed out bride in Nelson, Lauren,
went to steam her wedding dress last night. She is
getting married tomorrow and the dress is now ruined. So
we thought, can can we find Lauren a replacement dress?
Do any of our listeners out there have a dress
they can lend her?

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Lauren?

Speaker 6 (34:06):
Hello, Hi, how are you going?

Speaker 15 (34:09):
We're so okay?

Speaker 3 (34:11):
How are you?

Speaker 9 (34:14):
It's been a very stressful day.

Speaker 15 (34:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
People were just so touched by your story. I think
everyone knows the stress that you endure leading up to
the big day, and they've just wanted to help out.
We've landed on one and that was Emma's dress from
christ You've seen it?

Speaker 6 (34:31):
Are you happy? I love it?

Speaker 9 (34:33):
I'm so happy and I just feel so overwhelmed, just
really pleased.

Speaker 11 (34:38):
So she was able to do that.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
The dress is going on an Air New Zealand flight tonight.
Like hopefully this all goes ahead. You were going to
have that dress and time for your wedding, which takes
place tomorrow morning.

Speaker 13 (34:50):

if I don't get that dress back.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
It's an awesome thing that you did.

this is the one you want your wedding And how's
your marriage going? Successful?

ago was your wedding?

Speaker 9 (35:48):
End of twenty one?

Speaker 3 (35:49):
All right?

Speaker 4 (35:50):
So a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Ago you probably got to try clean keep it in
the cupboard, and then you're like, hey, I can I
can send it out to someone who needs it exactly.

Speaker 9 (35:58):
I don't know what I was going to do with
it any other Well.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
What do you do with your wedding dress? I guess
you can roll it out of you know, once every
five years or something. But did you have to compare measurements?
Was my first question.

Speaker 9 (36:10):
No, I just was saying dress side, so I assume
it will fit kind of okay.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeah, like a glove that is a do you invite
to the wedding?

Speaker 9 (36:19):
No?

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Did you want to invite to the wedding?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Probably not, but awkward, lovely that you gave the dress,
and lovely through the power of you know that the
hats something in New Zealand jumped on board. They managed
to transport the dress. Connor from the Hats was helping
drop it off. It was pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Hey, everyone got together, I've got your dress all the
way in the Nelson.

Speaker 13 (36:38):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 9 (36:39):
It was pretty quick around.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Yeah. Oh well, hey, thank you for being so generous.
And was there a bond on the dress? Did you
have like, no, no bond.

Speaker 9 (36:51):
Just a boomerang.

Speaker 10 (36:52):
I'm sure it will come back to the boomerang dress.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
Well, there we go, saving the wedding day. What a legend.
Aima really appreciate your generosity. And just so you know,
if you need any holy washed up nineties band T shirts,

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
