Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Flavor Podcast Network Flavor Breakfast Podcast with stace A,
Zorah and Charlie. On today's podcast, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Going to give you a detailed history of the Creepy Center.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
We talk about the worst place you got the giggles, Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Man, oh my goodness, and I thought you into church
a lot.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Charlie got big patches, big holes in your Christmas knowledge.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You'll hear it right here morning. It's just gone first
six am.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
If you and Flavor Breakfast morning, can.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You believe it's the decembits that mean twenty days until Christmas?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
When do we play a Christmas song?
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I reckon we should have played Christmas songs as soon
as it hit December. That's what I think, like at
least one, you know, ease into it.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I know, I know there's some goodies out, there's some
good light, but well, you know, mistletoe, Justin Bieber.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I love Justin Bieber's mistletoe. It's so good, sleeping.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Free stories all you can hear. It's beginning. It's beginning.
It's beginning, definitely. Michael and ran Carry is the frosted.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah, this is when they go pashing up to change,
to change it we're going to.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I would be happy with even DMX's root off the reindeer.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, we'll pop one in, won't we.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I think we should come on sho Okay, start thinking
nothing slow, Charlie either, if you're going to give any suggestions.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Whether I wanted to share this. That's why it's taken
me until Thursday to admit something that I did at
the wedding over the weekend, I I lost it. It
was quiet, it was heartfelt.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
One of the bridesmaids was.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Just pouring her heart out, you know how much the bride.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Means to her, how much the couple means to her.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And I am almost on the ground my nose, crying
my makeup off and shuddering with the giggles because well
during this, during the speech, the bridesmaid said, you know
how she was always third wheel to the couple that
(02:17):
got married up until Mason came along. Now I sort
of thought, huh, it's weird because her boyfriend, who was
there in the crowd, his name's Nathan, so she got
the name wrong, Mason Nathan. You know, she said, I'm
a third wheel and I was alone until Mason came along.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And poor old Nathan's over there like and I don't
know why. It just was so funny to me.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And of course the minute that I start laughing, it
takes a turn in the speech to you know, the
most gut wrenching, heart breaking, loving part of the speech,
and that.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Made it more funny. They made it, but only you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well everyone laughed a little bit at the comment, but
I didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So she got a boyfriend's name wrong. So who's Mason?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, I found out way after the reception, once all
the speeches and eating had done, because I had to
bring it up with someone.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I had to explained myself. I mean, my whole table
literally saw me on the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I was veins popping out of my head, crying and
red in the face, and I was like, man, couldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Keep it together. Back there.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I can't believe she got the name wrong. They said, no,
Mason's the dog. She was telling a joke.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Well, you were laughing at the jokes, that's good.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No, you laughed before you found out it was a joke,
so you thought she was planing up. I don't know
who Mason the dog is.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Mistake.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
So at the wedding and this heartfelt moment as there
is on the floor laughing, no one else is laughing,
no one else is laughing.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You'd lost it. I lost it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And the more I tried to say to myself this
is not a time to laugh, funnier it became that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I was like, because when you feel that, like you know,
oh no, I can't stop, you know, and you in
the whole thing of thinking about not laughing makes you laugh.
Or like when you're trying to record something right, right, right, Okay,
that's it, and then start cooking right and it's and
then you get to a point where if you were
someone else and now whinding you up and you're both laughing,
(04:22):
and you go right, shush, okay, we're going to do
it this time, and then you lose it again.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I just can't look at it, and you can't control
yourself when it comes to these moments, right, because everyone
looks at it, especially during half out moments and all
quiet times.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You went to church your whole life. Surely you've had a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Few moments this was a a funeral. No you haven't.
But it's not me I blame it's my cousin.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Wait, you've done it, and you've done it Stacy, Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, googles laugh. But my mom, I'm an adult of children.
My mom pu my rooms because like she was like
are you I like, you know, are you sweet?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So ok so okay.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So this guy got up to say his speech and
it was such a heart felt speech and we're it
wasn't funny at the time, but then you know, I
mean like he just couldn't wrap things up. But then
he decided to sing a song. No, not honestly, so
he decided to sing a song. But this guy had
a deep as his voice. But then when he sang
his song, He's like, I'm like what, bro, I mean
(05:34):
like a voice changed, but like why did he have
to like stay range range?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Brother? But then we just.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Did you look and my cousin like that. We just
looked at each other and it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Was like it was over. But you know, the thing
was for them. He was sitting with his family.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I was sitting with my mom, Bro, and my I
was getting but like you know, my mom was putting
me in the wrist.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But it was like.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Right up in the front looking at me like but
we get it. Man, you sing, but why are you
laughing at me?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like yeah, you hat? What about you stay. No. Yeah,
it was a very tragic. But just here this guy
started singing who just like singing one as well? Yes,
because he sort.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Of looked like a straight kind of you know, security
guide guy, big tall, you know, maned to look like
I know him a monster or something.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And then he starts singing that what I'm talking about? Yeah,
do you used to leave me?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I wasn't that song, but it was like almost like
in that range I'm like, but it was.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Also you're all happy about it and singing really loud,
and I just people, I think I can have it
quite well because I like put my head on my
lap and was shaking back.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's good, well I had there was no escape for me.
Why would I be?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, you love Mason too, And you know what they
should do is full study on why humans lose their
in the most offensive moments.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, because it's like laugh now and that laugh love
laugh love laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I've got the giggles in times where it's like it's
really inappropriate and I'm talking like, no, I can't even
say it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I can't even say what I've lost It at supposed
to be like really offensive but not, you know, someone
passing away offensive.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But I'm like, well that and I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know, you know, I'm out here like I swear,
I'm not that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I've just got the giggles.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So when was the time you've lost at eight two
double eight hundred and four flavor the more inappropriate? Maybe
I'll share one. When have you got the giggles? And
inappropriate time? I did over the weekend at the wedding,
during the heartfelt moment of one of the bridesmaid's speeches,
I've decided that I misheard what she said, and so
(08:00):
I started and I couldn't stop. I had to close
my eyes, and for some reason, the floor feels safer
in those moments. So I just duck down and got low,
got lo.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Go lo, go low here on the text, and we
were talking about inappropriate places you've lost it, you know,
I just got the giggles here on the text.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, if you're mildy, you'll relate.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You know, when a contwer does the cordor the last
quarter or a tonguey and they always have to clear
their throat, for example ten.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Con, they're no go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Every second word he coughed, and I couldn't stop laughing like,
oh wait, I got it in the car on the
way home.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's the worst thing when like some people are not
mindful when they're like clearing, especially when okay, so when
people come to do speeches and you already know the
mic'es on, but then they're like their brothers are like, yeah,
I'm like bro the mice a double O.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Saying I completely lost it during grace one night and
ended up with no dinner. Now do it or how
about I just lose it every single time that one
of my mates haests to say a speech. I don't
know what it is about seeing one of the bros
get up and have to do public speaking just so funny.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I've seen that. Yeah, different of that who shut up?
You know you're trying to act like a googo object.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And they're like, oh, you know, shout out to the family.
You're not even that guy a serious one. They can
serious gay.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Stays. Azora and Charlie tip off mysteries hop about mystery.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Today we look at a song that was number one
for three weeks in New Zealand in nineteen ninety one.
It was a year of great tracks. This one, Father MC,
I'll do for you What Excukes.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Me Like You Went to Know but Born Fell? And
What Normal More featuring Mary J.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Blige and this song as you hear it now is
a sample of Sheryl Lynn's song got to Be Real.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You can hear it from Real?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So Father m C real name Timothy Brown was It
was a big hit at that time. In his debut
album was called Father's Day Get It in nineteen ninety.
Then he had another album two years after his debut,
close to You.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
The thing about this song I'll Do for You is
the version that we Know and made number one is
actually a remix with Mary J. Blige on it. It
was supposed to have another singer on it the original version.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
David Hallister was on the original and then next so
you know, they just took Dave off and he made
the one with Mary.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Jay on We got you know I'll Do for You
And it was crazy because it worked.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It worked, it worked, and that's why it became the
single that was released. And now if you're think of
David Holster, how do I know that name? Well, he's
from Black Street and he did actually have a solo
career as well, with songs like keep Loving You, but.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They went for the version with Mary J. Blige, and
we know who Mary J. Blige beg came.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But the thing was, she was signed to Uptown Records
at the age of eighteen and she was booked as
a backup vocalist for Father MC. And they actually made
another song together and she sometimes, you know, we jump
out on stage with him, like she did in Summer
Jam nineteen ninety two, just sing one night Stand with
him on a.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Stage, very clad, very clad.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Outlaying it a very young Mary J. Blige and Father EMC.
He's still going. He's still touring. You can find him
on Instagram if you really want to sort of doing
some low key that he's make it sound high key
kind of things. I mean, he's a Grammy nominated, multi
platinum artist, rappers, song of writer, producer, also introduce the
(12:19):
will to Joe Toese, So he's probably doing all right.
But this was a great track, and now we know
a little bit more about the fact that it was
actually a remix. It is I'll do for you Father
MC and Mary J.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Blige.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That's your hip up mystery, because if you don't.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Know, now you know, all right, hear me out.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
This is a I don't know if this is just
my own personal POV on this whole thing or maybe
a guys, because you guys want to explain this to
you guys yesterday you guys had a different perspective on this.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Just ask your question. You don't understand why. I don't
understand why. Okay, And.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
When I make an effort to get an outfit, first
thing I asked myself is this.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I wonder if anyone else is going to wear this?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Right, like, if it's his shirt, pants, shoes or whatever,
I try and go like exclusive.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's just me thinking to myself, right, okay, But you
don't understand why. But I don't understand why. I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I dislike the fact that I would walk into a
room or to wherever I'm playing, specially festivals, and I
could spot somebody wearing the same shirt, shorts or whatever
it is shoes like me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It just puts me off. Please get into a bad mood.
It puts me into it like, oh, bro.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Right, So this hard thing of yeah I stole my look.
You feel that too, you guys. You go that guy
that bro stole my look? Yeah, it's not so much
that that he stole my look. But I'm just like,
I failed in this department. Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'm like, that's what it is, That's what the feeling is.
I don't care if someone's wearing the same effort. Clearly
they have tastes.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, And I built myself up when I got into
the store. I'm like, nah, surely no one's got this,
you know what I mean. But it's why you're disappointed
because you've created that expectation.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You've gone into a store trying to find something that,
quote your words, no one else is going to be wearing.
So when you do see someone wearing the outfit, you're disappointed.
That's why you should get rid of those expectations. But
it's a very real feeling. I didn't realize men felt
like that.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But I get to a point where I'm just like,
I need to get out of this top right now.
Like actually, honest, no life not nowhere of a lie
hand or not. I'm like, bro, do I have a
T shirt in the car?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do I have? Just really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But what shops are going to I mean, the thing
is for kings, yeah, you know other people are going
to have them.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, And it's not flash shops to be honest, because like,
I'd rather just go like plainless to like this sort
of which.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is fine, but you can't expect to then be exclusive.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, how can you be upset if oh my gosh,
there's another dude wearing a white shirt.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
What the heck this guy is wearing the Helenstein's outfit
I'm wearing, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You know, before Eating and Fierce. It's funny. I went
into Culture Kings to look for an outfit. I turned
my butt back around because I realized that everyone was
going there before Eating Fist because they've got that really
good streetwear, you know, and that was the vibe of
that festival, and I was like, idiot, everyone's going to
be wearing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's why I go, you know, design a wardrobe, design
and recycle, you know, like second hand, no line. I
can't handle the shops. I'm useless in the shops, but
I can handle it online.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well sometimes for a festival, if you haven't had time
to order something online, put something together you've already got.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Wow, this is break there is Well, people think I
need something, you need something new, Well, guess what, You're
not going to find someone in the same outfit if
you're wearing something from five years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Now, that's why it's the truth. You're right, it is,
you're right, But I think it.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is why it's safer for a lot of people just
to like go buy material in their own That's not
that's not reasonable.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People don't do that. I'm just saying, man, okay, you do.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That, then next time you're on stage, how about you
make your own outfit.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And we're just like here, I'd like to put out
the irony. I remember when you got that shit that
you're wearing right now, Charlie. You bought it because Scotti
had one similar and you're like, I want to look
like that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I know you stole his look, I know, but like
he wears it better. But it's just we're still hear baby,
You'll get.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
There one day, barony, irony, your muscles will grow one day, broke.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I saw a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Very funny meme the other day of a dad who
sheares the text from his teenagers, and one of them is,
what is the name of that thing with the Jesus
action figures?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Figure out what she's talking about?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
What is the name of that thing with the Jesus
co action figures?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The setup of the Birth of Jesus.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What's it called. I'm Bethlehem. Yeah, what's it called? You
should know that? Jesus action figures? She was calling that. Wait,
what's it called?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And so set up and they do plays, they do
plays on it. Yeah, what about it? What's it called?
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I know.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Hey, you you are the most church going of all
of us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You need to know this. He was in a barn, right,
what's it called? Oh my gosh, Nativity play? Yes, Nativity scene?
How did I get there before you?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, that's not in the Bible. Well then what is it?
And how does everyone know about it? That is the
thing about Christmas.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
There's some stuff that you go, Wow, maybe I don't
know that because I didn't do religious education.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
How come you don't know it? And I went to
a Catholic school. Yes, the Nativity scene. Nativity scene, all
kids are, right, Bro, you've got to start going back
to church. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And you know, and then Nativity play the best role
as the lobster.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Everyone knows that the lobster.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know what you know what's crazy is you know,
my papa, he was a pastor his entire life and
my grandmother. She ran the churches, did the accounts, you know,
did all the organizing, and that's how they traveled around
the country. My dad he was like there were three
boys and they always rebelled since they were, you know,
(17:55):
staying in and around churches, to the point that I
remember my father during grace. He used to always like
nudge us or eat something off his plate when my
Papa would be saying grace, which.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Is so naughty, Like that is so naughty.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But that's how I learned about Christmas and the Bible
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But he was old school man. My papa.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, clearly they're cooler now, you know, like pastors are
cooler now.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Sorry to my papa, but clearly you missed some points
because you didn't know that about the Jesus Action figures
being in the Nativity.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
To be fear Jesus Action figures isn't really a lot
to go off.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Stace did the.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Jesus Action figures and she goes figure it out. Guys,
she's making it our He's the one they see figures
for you.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're really talking about toys.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
You no, no, no, all of those I'm coming to you,
Charlie if I need to know what a Christmas mess is,
you know, all those latest things you really should know.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You do better, do better? Why looking at me like that.
I hope your parents weren't listening.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Charlie Stace Azora and Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Boy, oh boy, I'm excited for this one. It was
the nineteen sixty where Farmers.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Put up the Giant Center. Oh my goodness, you mean
Farmers Trading Company, not just some farmer.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
No, yeah, exactly, Farmers still in our you know, in
our hearts and our regions and city today. Well, yes,
the giant Santa was put in the front of the
building on the corner of Hobson Street and Wyndham Street
in Auckland. It was fiberglass and weighed five tons, standing
at a height of eighteen meters. Back then, it featured
(19:40):
a winking eye and a beckoning.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Finger which the finger would move.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The whole point of it was it was pointing down
to try and get people to go into the store
and too Farmers And it stood proudly, this giant, scary,
creepy Santa for thirty years. But in nineteen ninety the
store was put it for sale and so everyone was like.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh no, what's going to happen with center?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, the Farmers in Monaco Shopping City Center said, you.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Know what, we'll take it. We'll take will take him.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So from nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety five, that's
where he lived.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We're about to I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, me too, get ready, get ready, this is a journey.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And then in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Six the shopping center decided, nah, we're not going to
put center up because.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He has a tetty appearance.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And it wasn't until nineteen ninety eight, when Santa had
been dormant, he'd been nowhere for two years, that a
marketing events consultant, Stephen Hanford, purchased Center from Farmers for
one dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He brought it back to Auckland.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
He also created a restoration project and put in forty
thousand dollars into getting it a paint job and removing
all the russ from the structure. Basically a BBL pretty
much pretty much. So, yep, he was back up in
an Auckland City the center, like on Queen.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Street, because I do remember him there. Yes, that was
nineteen ninety eight, was.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Ninety ninety eight. He was back up in Auckland Queen Street.
Get this, it carries on. So it wasn't until mister
Hanford who purchased the center. He actually moved over to
Australia in two thousand and three and then he handed
over ownership to the company. But in two thousand and
eight Wikels declared that they could no longer absorb Santa's
(21:38):
cost guys, because it had risen to fifty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Dollars a year. He had to put him up and
all that and the storage of them as well.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So yeah, so between that nineteen ninety eight and two
thousand and three Wikells had Center, but they gave the
responsibility of center to the rate payers. In two thousand
and three, they did a bunch of what's it called poles.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
To see do we just get rid of him?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Guys, Come on Auckland City, part of the city, you know,
do we get rid of him? Because he costs fifty
five thousand dollars for your class ship.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We guess what.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Twelve poles showed strong support and keeping Santa and that
he would be back in two thousand and nine. But
when it came back, he got a facelift.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
When Santa started receiving hate mail, the council knew it
had to act.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The brief was, look, we don't want to lose the feel.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Of Santa, and everybody wants to keep him, but we'd
just like to make him look a little friendlier.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
M So that they did.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He went another facelift of one hundred thousand dollars plus.
Oh this is for this makeover in two thousand and nine,
and he was unveiled in November. He had a more
friendly appearance, and you know, people were like, okay, cool,
this is fine.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We're happy with him.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And then, after nearly six decades on Queen Street, the
Giant Center was finally retired in twenty twenty because by
then the annual cost of his maintenance and sewage was
more than two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
We made a really difficult decision last year. We know
that people love Center, and we love Center actually, but
he was getting tired and weary and the practicality of
keeping the tradition and legacy alive was becoming more and
more difficult.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So from two thousand and nine, rate payers, we're paying
that cost of Center. Well, I voted for that two
hunred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
A facelift as the botoxes everything. Man, But if you
do Malone.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oftenest with this, you can still find the giant creepy centa.
He's gone into retirement in Warnuka's National Transport and Toy Museum.
What a junior from nineteen sixty? How much it cost
to get him down there in the mountain.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't want to know. Weird.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I don't want to know it's weird, But it's now over.
From nineteen sixty to twenty twenty was his lifespan, so
we remember that time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So tomorrow we are releasing any single three Houses Down
featuring a boy.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Canan Canaan, Canaan. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So he's produced this treck And the funny thing is
how music comes about.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's magical.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Like if he attempted this to me in a state
where I wasn't really bothered to get into a studio
and record this, I think it will take like maybe
a year to get together and put.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The song together, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Like, but I think that the time frame that we
by putting the song together was like maybe within like
an hour.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Why why just because of availability.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Or one availability and.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Because the maybe the state that wasn't you mean the
vibes well yeah, yeah, yeah, the vibes were good. But
then you know, the inspiration comes to you when you're
in a certain place.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You know, did I say, Okay, I know what you're
trying to say. You're saying you know, whenever you get
feelings said the fuses to say it for what it is,
bro stop beating around the bush. So we have a
little bit of a teaser, which I feel very blessed,
very lucky, and can we play a little bit play

Apple Music has released the list of its top played

Top Songs of twenty twenty four.

Songs of twenty twenty four, so not like us. Beautiful
Things by Benson Boone. Espresso by Your Girls Sabrina Kaben
is number three and number four a bar song Tipsy.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I want to take it to a place of
jay Z. Jay Z he was actually showing love number
sixteen from the Billboard Top Pop Stars of the Century.
So Jay, do you guys remember us talking about the
exhibition that he had in Brooklyn. So that started in
July last year and it's lasted all the way up
until this year, recently closed it down. And what was
(28:01):
in this exhibition, Well, it had original recording masters, never
seen before photos, iconic stage where and the Book of
Hove was in there as well. That's what they called
it as well. So they've turned that into an actual book.
That way, if you weren't able to go to the exhibition,
there've catalog everything that was in that museum. So I
(28:24):
would assume it's kind of probably a Christmas idea because
you would get a book the Book of Hove and
it would have those iconic stage things, recording original master
it would be a lot of.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
People will buy that book because it's like, you know,
he's full of inspiration. Remember when people were like, would
you take five hundred thousand or have a lunch date
or dinner date with.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, with jay Z jay Z the book. So there's
a couple of different price points. The classic versions one
hundred and twenty backs. The ultimate version is two thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Well I'm talking about though for the coffee table book, Well,
for us that would be a lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
That's us saying. Then the shipping a to get things
from the US young hole that is. I mean, I'm curious.
Is it a weird thing to be noisier about celebrity children.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Well, it's come up this week because Martin Lawrence's daughter
is marrying Eddie Murphy's son. So they were in Boomerang together,
they're in movie Life together. Apparently they're actually met through
an uncle.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's what Jasmine says.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Her uncle actually introduced her to Eric Murphy, who's Eddie
murphy son. By the way, Eddie Murphy, why you call
your kid Eric Murphy? I don't know, might just go
the whole hog and call him junior or something like Eric.
Is it's like a tem version of Eddie or something,
you know what I mean in that context. So, yeah,
there's a couple of celebrity children that have got together,
(29:54):
I guess because they're kind of in the same scene.
And Jasmine and Eric the latest ones to get there.
But you've got also quite a few really see Miley
Cyrus she went out with Patrick's What's Sneaker for a while.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't even know that.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yes, so Miley Cyrus is obviously second generation because her
dad was also as also famous Billy Ray. And so
before she got back together with her ex Liam Hens,
she went out with Patrick for a bit. Kendall Jenna, well,
there's quite a few people there, but also went out
with Anwa Hadid as an the younger brother of Gig
(30:39):
and Bella Hadid.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
And then also I don't know, those Kardashian sisters all
seemed to.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Go up the same with everyone.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
You can basically predict who they're going to go out with.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
You also have Phil Collins, daughter married the son of
actors some famous actors, Mary Steenbergen and Malcolm mc dow.
You know, I guess they sort of see each other around.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, I would assume is a lot of them would
probably go to similar schools because there has to be
schools out there for one hundred celebrities, you know, that
way that they're around people that they can relate to.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I don't know how they're all being rich together. I
guess rich next do you?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I think the appearances hawked them up, like hey, hey, listen,
you need to go out with so and so.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
You know what I mean? Do they play well? What
I do know?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Well, they couldn't in this case because the daughter of
Courtney Love and Kirk Cobaine, she is with Tony Hawk's son.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What a skateboarder? Yeah? What, Well, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Like when Sophia Richie, Lionel Richie's daughter was dating Scopts.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I was like, you know, the one that.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Was with court circles are also to exactly and they
all I've seen a few of them, you know, lenk up.
Shall we say you know to DiCaprio. DiCaprio, Well, he's
been with just anyone, because.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You The thing is is that in New Zealand sometimes
you go, oh my gosh, everyone you know, everyone knows,
everyone in the circles is so tired.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's like, oh, you used to go out with so
and so now so and so is it really so
different Hollywood standard? We compare in New Zealand to Hollywood.
It's pretty much the same. It's the same damn thing. Guys.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Hey, I've got really good news about Mikey two Pies.
So there was a story out a couple of weeks
ago that they were going to liquidation, and I was like, no,
you know, I love markets a really important place to us,
and worrying about the jobs because there's twenty employees there,
and true, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
There's not market too.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yeah, there's not many jobs there at all, and market
two pies and Makets two pies that people love. And
so a a catering business called Montana Group is taking
over the brand and the twenty employees.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Ah, that's so good man. It's time this time of
the year. It's very important that you know people still
have something.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yeah, yeah, thanks for saying that, Charlie. If you know

I would be happy with even DMX's root off the reindeer.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, we'll pop one in, won't we.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I think we should come on sho Okay, start thinking
nothing slow, Charlie either, if you're going to give any suggestions.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Whether I wanted to share this. That's why it's taken
me until Thursday to admit something that I did at
the wedding over the weekend, I I lost it. It
was quiet, it was heartfelt.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
One of the bridesmaids was.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Just pouring her heart out, you know how much the bride.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Means to her, how much the couple means to her.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And I am almost on the ground my nose, crying
my makeup off and shuddering with the giggles because well
during this, during the speech, the bridesmaid said, you know
how she was always third wheel to the couple that
(02:17):
got married up until Mason came along. Now I sort
of thought, huh, it's weird because her boyfriend, who was
there in the crowd, his name's Nathan, so she got
the name wrong, Mason Nathan. You know, she said, I'm
a third wheel and I was alone until Mason came along.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And poor old Nathan's over there like and I don't
know why. It just was so funny to me.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
And of course the minute that I start laughing, it
takes a turn in the speech to you know, the
most gut wrenching, heart breaking, loving part of the speech,
and that.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Made it more funny. They made it, but only you.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well everyone laughed a little bit at the comment, but
I didn't stop.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So she got a boyfriend's name wrong. So who's Mason?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, I found out way after the reception, once all
the speeches and eating had done, because I had to
bring it up with someone.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I had to explained myself. I mean, my whole table
literally saw me on the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I was veins popping out of my head, crying and
red in the face, and I was like, man, couldn't.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Keep it together. Back there.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I can't believe she got the name wrong. They said, no,
Mason's the dog. She was telling a joke.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Well, you were laughing at the jokes, that's good.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
No, you laughed before you found out it was a joke,
so you thought she was planing up. I don't know
who Mason the dog is.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Mistake.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
So at the wedding and this heartfelt moment as there
is on the floor laughing, no one else is laughing,
no one else is laughing.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You'd lost it. I lost it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
And the more I tried to say to myself this
is not a time to laugh, funnier it became that.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I was like, because when you feel that, like you know,
oh no, I can't stop, you know, and you in
the whole thing of thinking about not laughing makes you laugh.
Or like when you're trying to record something right, right, right, Okay,
that's it, and then start cooking right and it's and
then you get to a point where if you were
someone else and now whinding you up and you're both laughing,
(04:22):
and you go right, shush, okay, we're going to do
it this time, and then you lose it again.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I just can't look at it, and you can't control
yourself when it comes to these moments, right, because everyone
looks at it, especially during half out moments and all
quiet times.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You went to church your whole life. Surely you've had a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Few moments this was a a funeral. No you haven't.
But it's not me I blame it's my cousin.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Wait, you've done it, and you've done it Stacy, Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yes, googles laugh. But my mom, I'm an adult of children.
My mom pu my rooms because like she was like
are you I like, you know, are you sweet?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
So ok so okay.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
So this guy got up to say his speech and
it was such a heart felt speech and we're it
wasn't funny at the time, but then you know, I
mean like he just couldn't wrap things up. But then
he decided to sing a song. No, not honestly, so
he decided to sing a song. But this guy had
a deep as his voice. But then when he sang
his song, He's like, I'm like what, bro, I mean
(05:34):
like a voice changed, but like why did he have
to like stay range range?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Brother? But then we just.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Did you look and my cousin like that. We just
looked at each other and it.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Was like it was over. But you know, the thing
was for them. He was sitting with his family.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I was sitting with my mom, Bro, and my I
was getting but like you know, my mom was putting
me in the wrist.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But it was like.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Right up in the front looking at me like but
we get it. Man, you sing, but why are you
laughing at me?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Like yeah, you hat? What about you stay. No. Yeah,
it was a very tragic. But just here this guy
started singing who just like singing one as well? Yes,
because he sort.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Of looked like a straight kind of you know, security
guide guy, big tall, you know, maned to look like
I know him a monster or something.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And then he starts singing that what I'm talking about? Yeah,
do you used to leave me?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I wasn't that song, but it was like almost like
in that range I'm like, but it was.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Also you're all happy about it and singing really loud,
and I just people, I think I can have it
quite well because I like put my head on my
lap and was shaking back.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's good, well I had there was no escape for me.
Why would I be?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No, you love Mason too, And you know what they
should do is full study on why humans lose their
in the most offensive moments.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, because it's like laugh now and that laugh love
laugh love laugh.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I've got the giggles in times where it's like it's
really inappropriate and I'm talking like, no, I can't even
say it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I can't even say what I've lost It at supposed
to be like really offensive but not, you know, someone
passing away offensive.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But I'm like, well that and I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
You know, you know, I'm out here like I swear,
I'm not that kind of person.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I've just got the giggles.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
So when was the time you've lost at eight two
double eight hundred and four flavor the more inappropriate? Maybe
I'll share one. When have you got the giggles? And
inappropriate time? I did over the weekend at the wedding,
during the heartfelt moment of one of the bridesmaid's speeches,
I've decided that I misheard what she said, and so
(08:00):
I started and I couldn't stop. I had to close
my eyes, and for some reason, the floor feels safer
in those moments. So I just duck down and got low,
got lo.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Go lo, go low here on the text, and we
were talking about inappropriate places you've lost it, you know,
I just got the giggles here on the text.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Well, if you're mildy, you'll relate.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You know, when a contwer does the cordor the last
quarter or a tonguey and they always have to clear
their throat, for example ten.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Con, they're no go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Every second word he coughed, and I couldn't stop laughing like,
oh wait, I got it in the car on the
way home.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's the worst thing when like some people are not
mindful when they're like clearing, especially when okay, so when
people come to do speeches and you already know the
mic'es on, but then they're like their brothers are like, yeah,
I'm like bro the mice a double O.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Saying I completely lost it during grace one night and
ended up with no dinner. Now do it or how
about I just lose it every single time that one
of my mates haests to say a speech. I don't
know what it is about seeing one of the bros
get up and have to do public speaking just so funny.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I've seen that. Yeah, different of that who shut up?
You know you're trying to act like a googo object.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And they're like, oh, you know, shout out to the family.
You're not even that guy a serious one. They can
serious gay.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Stays. Azora and Charlie tip off mysteries hop about mystery.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Today we look at a song that was number one
for three weeks in New Zealand in nineteen ninety one.
It was a year of great tracks. This one, Father MC,
I'll do for you What Excukes.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Me Like You Went to Know but Born Fell? And
What Normal More featuring Mary J.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Blige and this song as you hear it now is
a sample of Sheryl Lynn's song got to Be Real.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
You can hear it from Real?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So Father m C real name Timothy Brown was It
was a big hit at that time. In his debut
album was called Father's Day Get It in nineteen ninety.
Then he had another album two years after his debut,
close to You.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
The thing about this song I'll Do for You is
the version that we Know and made number one is
actually a remix with Mary J. Blige on it. It
was supposed to have another singer on it the original version.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
David Hallister was on the original and then next so
you know, they just took Dave off and he made
the one with Mary.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Jay on We got you know I'll Do for You
And it was crazy because it worked.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It worked, it worked, and that's why it became the
single that was released. And now if you're think of
David Holster, how do I know that name? Well, he's
from Black Street and he did actually have a solo
career as well, with songs like keep Loving You, but.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
They went for the version with Mary J. Blige, and
we know who Mary J. Blige beg came.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But the thing was, she was signed to Uptown Records
at the age of eighteen and she was booked as
a backup vocalist for Father MC. And they actually made
another song together and she sometimes, you know, we jump
out on stage with him, like she did in Summer
Jam nineteen ninety two, just sing one night Stand with
him on a.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Stage, very clad, very clad.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Outlaying it a very young Mary J. Blige and Father EMC.
He's still going. He's still touring. You can find him
on Instagram if you really want to sort of doing
some low key that he's make it sound high key
kind of things. I mean, he's a Grammy nominated, multi
platinum artist, rappers, song of writer, producer, also introduce the
(12:19):
will to Joe Toese, So he's probably doing all right.
But this was a great track, and now we know
a little bit more about the fact that it was
actually a remix. It is I'll do for you Father
MC and Mary J.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Blige.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
That's your hip up mystery, because if you don't.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Know, now you know, all right, hear me out.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
This is a I don't know if this is just
my own personal POV on this whole thing or maybe
a guys, because you guys want to explain this to
you guys yesterday you guys had a different perspective on this.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Just ask your question. You don't understand why. I don't
understand why. Okay, And.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
When I make an effort to get an outfit, first
thing I asked myself is this.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I wonder if anyone else is going to wear this?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Right, like, if it's his shirt, pants, shoes or whatever,
I try and go like exclusive.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
That's just me thinking to myself, right, okay, But you
don't understand why. But I don't understand why. I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I dislike the fact that I would walk into a
room or to wherever I'm playing, specially festivals, and I
could spot somebody wearing the same shirt, shorts or whatever
it is shoes like me.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It just puts me off. Please get into a bad mood.
It puts me into it like, oh, bro.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Right, So this hard thing of yeah I stole my look.
You feel that too, you guys. You go that guy
that bro stole my look? Yeah, it's not so much
that that he stole my look. But I'm just like,
I failed in this department. Yes, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'm like, that's what it is, That's what the feeling is.
I don't care if someone's wearing the same effort. Clearly
they have tastes.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, And I built myself up when I got into
the store. I'm like, nah, surely no one's got this,
you know what I mean. But it's why you're disappointed
because you've created that expectation.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You've gone into a store trying to find something that,
quote your words, no one else is going to be wearing.
So when you do see someone wearing the outfit, you're disappointed.
That's why you should get rid of those expectations. But
it's a very real feeling. I didn't realize men felt
like that.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
But I get to a point where I'm just like,
I need to get out of this top right now.
Like actually, honest, no life not nowhere of a lie
hand or not. I'm like, bro, do I have a
T shirt in the car?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Do I have? Just really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
But what shops are going to I mean, the thing
is for kings, yeah, you know other people are going
to have them.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, And it's not flash shops to be honest, because like,
I'd rather just go like plainless to like this sort
of which.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is fine, but you can't expect to then be exclusive.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, how can you be upset if oh my gosh,
there's another dude wearing a white shirt.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
What the heck this guy is wearing the Helenstein's outfit
I'm wearing, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You know, before Eating and Fierce. It's funny. I went
into Culture Kings to look for an outfit. I turned
my butt back around because I realized that everyone was
going there before Eating Fist because they've got that really
good streetwear, you know, and that was the vibe of
that festival, and I was like, idiot, everyone's going to
be wearing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's why I go, you know, design a wardrobe, design
and recycle, you know, like second hand, no line. I
can't handle the shops. I'm useless in the shops, but
I can handle it online.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Well sometimes for a festival, if you haven't had time
to order something online, put something together you've already got.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Wow, this is break there is Well, people think I
need something, you need something new, Well, guess what, You're
not going to find someone in the same outfit if
you're wearing something from five years ago.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Now, that's why it's the truth. You're right, it is,
you're right, But I think it.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is why it's safer for a lot of people just
to like go buy material in their own That's not
that's not reasonable.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
People don't do that. I'm just saying, man, okay, you do.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That, then next time you're on stage, how about you
make your own outfit.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
And we're just like here, I'd like to put out
the irony. I remember when you got that shit that
you're wearing right now, Charlie. You bought it because Scotti
had one similar and you're like, I want to look
like that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I know you stole his look, I know, but like
he wears it better. But it's just we're still hear baby,
You'll get.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
There one day, barony, irony, your muscles will grow one day, broke.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I saw a.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Very funny meme the other day of a dad who
sheares the text from his teenagers, and one of them is,
what is the name of that thing with the Jesus
action figures?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Figure out what she's talking about?
Speaker 4 (16:32):
What is the name of that thing with the Jesus
co action figures?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The setup of the Birth of Jesus.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What's it called. I'm Bethlehem. Yeah, what's it called? You
should know that? Jesus action figures? She was calling that. Wait,
what's it called?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And so set up and they do plays, they do
plays on it. Yeah, what about it? What's it called?
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I know.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Hey, you you are the most church going of all
of us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
You need to know this. He was in a barn, right,
what's it called? Oh my gosh, Nativity play? Yes, Nativity scene?
How did I get there before you?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, that's not in the Bible. Well then what is it?
And how does everyone know about it? That is the
thing about Christmas.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
There's some stuff that you go, Wow, maybe I don't
know that because I didn't do religious education.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
How come you don't know it? And I went to
a Catholic school. Yes, the Nativity scene. Nativity scene, all
kids are, right, Bro, you've got to start going back
to church. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
And you know, and then Nativity play the best role
as the lobster.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Everyone knows that the lobster.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know what you know what's crazy is you know,
my papa, he was a pastor his entire life and
my grandmother. She ran the churches, did the accounts, you know,
did all the organizing, and that's how they traveled around
the country. My dad he was like there were three
boys and they always rebelled since they were, you know,
(17:55):
staying in and around churches, to the point that I
remember my father during grace. He used to always like
nudge us or eat something off his plate when my
Papa would be saying grace, which.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Is so naughty, Like that is so naughty.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But that's how I learned about Christmas and the Bible
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But he was old school man. My papa.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Well, clearly they're cooler now, you know, like pastors are
cooler now.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Sorry to my papa, but clearly you missed some points
because you didn't know that about the Jesus Action figures
being in the Nativity.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
To be fear Jesus Action figures isn't really a lot
to go off.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Stace did the.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Jesus Action figures and she goes figure it out. Guys,
she's making it our He's the one they see figures
for you.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're really talking about toys.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
You no, no, no, all of those I'm coming to you,
Charlie if I need to know what a Christmas mess is,
you know, all those latest things you really should know.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You do better, do better? Why looking at me like that.
I hope your parents weren't listening.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Charlie Stace Azora and Charlie.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Boy, oh boy, I'm excited for this one. It was
the nineteen sixty where Farmers.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Put up the Giant Center. Oh my goodness, you mean
Farmers Trading Company, not just some farmer.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
No, yeah, exactly, Farmers still in our you know, in
our hearts and our regions and city today. Well, yes,
the giant Santa was put in the front of the
building on the corner of Hobson Street and Wyndham Street
in Auckland. It was fiberglass and weighed five tons, standing
at a height of eighteen meters. Back then, it featured
(19:40):
a winking eye and a beckoning.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Finger which the finger would move.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The whole point of it was it was pointing down
to try and get people to go into the store
and too Farmers And it stood proudly, this giant, scary,
creepy Santa for thirty years. But in nineteen ninety the
store was put it for sale and so everyone was like.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh no, what's going to happen with center?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, the Farmers in Monaco Shopping City Center said, you.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Know what, we'll take it. We'll take will take him.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So from nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety five, that's
where he lived.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
We're about to I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, me too, get ready, get ready, this is a journey.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And then in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Six the shopping center decided, nah, we're not going to
put center up because.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
He has a tetty appearance.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
And it wasn't until nineteen ninety eight, when Santa had
been dormant, he'd been nowhere for two years, that a
marketing events consultant, Stephen Hanford, purchased Center from Farmers for
one dollar.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He brought it back to Auckland.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
He also created a restoration project and put in forty
thousand dollars into getting it a paint job and removing
all the russ from the structure. Basically a BBL pretty
much pretty much. So, yep, he was back up in
an Auckland City the center, like on Queen.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Street, because I do remember him there. Yes, that was
nineteen ninety eight, was.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Ninety ninety eight. He was back up in Auckland Queen Street.
Get this, it carries on. So it wasn't until mister
Hanford who purchased the center. He actually moved over to
Australia in two thousand and three and then he handed
over ownership to the company. But in two thousand and
eight Wikels declared that they could no longer absorb Santa's
(21:38):
cost guys, because it had risen to fifty five thousand.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Dollars a year. He had to put him up and
all that and the storage of them as well.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So yeah, so between that nineteen ninety eight and two
thousand and three Wikells had Center, but they gave the
responsibility of center to the rate payers. In two thousand
and three, they did a bunch of what's it called poles.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
To see do we just get rid of him?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Guys, Come on Auckland City, part of the city, you know,
do we get rid of him? Because he costs fifty
five thousand dollars for your class ship.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We guess what.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Twelve poles showed strong support and keeping Santa and that
he would be back in two thousand and nine. But
when it came back, he got a facelift.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
When Santa started receiving hate mail, the council knew it
had to act.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The brief was, look, we don't want to lose the feel.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
Of Santa, and everybody wants to keep him, but we'd
just like to make him look a little friendlier.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
M So that they did.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
He went another facelift of one hundred thousand dollars plus.
Oh this is for this makeover in two thousand and nine,
and he was unveiled in November. He had a more
friendly appearance, and you know, people were like, okay, cool,
this is fine.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We're happy with him.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
And then, after nearly six decades on Queen Street, the
Giant Center was finally retired in twenty twenty because by
then the annual cost of his maintenance and sewage was
more than two hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
We made a really difficult decision last year. We know
that people love Center, and we love Center actually, but
he was getting tired and weary and the practicality of
keeping the tradition and legacy alive was becoming more and
more difficult.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
So from two thousand and nine, rate payers, we're paying
that cost of Center. Well, I voted for that two
hunred thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
A facelift as the botoxes everything. Man, But if you
do Malone.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Oftenest with this, you can still find the giant creepy centa.
He's gone into retirement in Warnuka's National Transport and Toy Museum.
What a junior from nineteen sixty? How much it cost
to get him down there in the mountain.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't want to know. Weird.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I don't want to know it's weird, But it's now over.
From nineteen sixty to twenty twenty was his lifespan, so
we remember that time.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
So tomorrow we are releasing any single three Houses Down
featuring a boy.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Canan Canaan, Canaan. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So he's produced this treck And the funny thing is
how music comes about.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's magical.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Like if he attempted this to me in a state
where I wasn't really bothered to get into a studio
and record this, I think it will take like maybe
a year to get together and put.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
The song together, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Like, but I think that the time frame that we
by putting the song together was like maybe within like
an hour.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Why why just because of availability.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Or one availability and.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Because the maybe the state that wasn't you mean the
vibes well yeah, yeah, yeah, the vibes were good. But
then you know, the inspiration comes to you when you're
in a certain place.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You know, did I say, Okay, I know what you're
trying to say. You're saying you know, whenever you get
feelings said the fuses to say it for what it is,
bro stop beating around the bush. So we have a
little bit of a teaser, which I feel very blessed,
very lucky, and can we play a little bit play
(25:21):
it because this isn't out too tomorrow?
Speaker 1 (25:22):
What time?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Oh wow, first thing in the morning to okay, okay.

We light my dark skid.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
I love you because everything is around worries side. Were
a baby right by your burnie between I.
Speaker 1 (25:52):

Speaker 2 (25:54):
So is gimified just in the video or is he
actually singing on this song?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Nah, he's don't have been seeing him if he were.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Well, he's just he's on the video and he's dressed
up in the tongue and wedding clothes, you know, so
like because it looks like it's his wedding. Yeah, well,
we tease it like as it feels getting married, And
there were a lot of people who message in like
what not what what's happening?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Is he getting married?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Who do No? I see what you did here. You
created a song that people are going to play it

N you got it, especially coming into summer wedding season
as well. Love you for Life, coming out tonight, Proud
of you, Charlie, you love a long time.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Latest celebrity goss from around the world, Wave a breakfast,

Apple Music has released the list of its top played

Top Songs of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4 (27:24):

of things, so Yeah, it's gonna be a big Top
Songs of twenty twenty four, so not like us. Beautiful
Things by Benson Boone. Espresso by Your Girls Sabrina Kaben
is number three and number four a bar song Tipsy.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I want to take it to a place of
jay Z. Jay Z he was actually showing love number
sixteen from the Billboard Top Pop Stars of the Century.
So Jay, do you guys remember us talking about the
exhibition that he had in Brooklyn. So that started in
July last year and it's lasted all the way up
until this year, recently closed it down. And what was
(28:01):
in this exhibition, Well, it had original recording masters, never
seen before photos, iconic stage where and the Book of
Hove was in there as well. That's what they called
it as well. So they've turned that into an actual book.
That way, if you weren't able to go to the exhibition,
there've catalog everything that was in that museum. So I
(28:24):
would assume it's kind of probably a Christmas idea because
you would get a book the Book of Hove and
it would have those iconic stage things, recording original master
it would be a lot of.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
People will buy that book because it's like, you know,
he's full of inspiration. Remember when people were like, would
you take five hundred thousand or have a lunch date
or dinner date with.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Yeah, with jay Z jay Z the book. So there's
a couple of different price points. The classic versions one
hundred and twenty backs. The ultimate version is two thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Well I'm talking about though for the coffee table book, Well,
for us that would be a lot more.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
That's us saying. Then the shipping a to get things
from the US young hole that is. I mean, I'm curious.
Is it a weird thing to be noisier about celebrity children.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Well, it's come up this week because Martin Lawrence's daughter
is marrying Eddie Murphy's son. So they were in Boomerang together,
they're in movie Life together. Apparently they're actually met through
an uncle.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's what Jasmine says.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Her uncle actually introduced her to Eric Murphy, who's Eddie
murphy son. By the way, Eddie Murphy, why you call
your kid Eric Murphy? I don't know, might just go
the whole hog and call him junior or something like Eric.
Is it's like a tem version of Eddie or something,
you know what I mean in that context. So, yeah,
there's a couple of celebrity children that have got together,
(29:54):
I guess because they're kind of in the same scene.
And Jasmine and Eric the latest ones to get there.
But you've got also quite a few really see Miley
Cyrus she went out with Patrick's What's Sneaker for a while.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I don't even know that.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yes, so Miley Cyrus is obviously second generation because her
dad was also as also famous Billy Ray. And so
before she got back together with her ex Liam Hens,
she went out with Patrick for a bit. Kendall Jenna, well,
there's quite a few people there, but also went out
with Anwa Hadid as an the younger brother of Gig
(30:39):
and Bella Hadid.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh, yes, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
And then also I don't know, those Kardashian sisters all
seemed to.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Go up the same with everyone.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
You can basically predict who they're going to go out with.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
You also have Phil Collins, daughter married the son of
actors some famous actors, Mary Steenbergen and Malcolm mc dow.
You know, I guess they sort of see each other around.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, I would assume is a lot of them would
probably go to similar schools because there has to be
schools out there for one hundred celebrities, you know, that
way that they're around people that they can relate to.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I don't know how they're all being rich together. I
guess rich next do you?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I think the appearances hawked them up, like hey, hey, listen,
you need to go out with so and so.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
You know what I mean? Do they play well? What
I do know?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Well, they couldn't in this case because the daughter of
Courtney Love and Kirk Cobaine, she is with Tony Hawk's son.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
What a skateboarder? Yeah? What, Well, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Like when Sophia Richie, Lionel Richie's daughter was dating Scopts.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
I was like, you know, the one that.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Was with court circles are also to exactly and they
all I've seen a few of them, you know, lenk up.
Shall we say you know to DiCaprio. DiCaprio, Well, he's
been with just anyone, because.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You The thing is is that in New Zealand sometimes
you go, oh my gosh, everyone you know, everyone knows,
everyone in the circles is so tired.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
It's like, oh, you used to go out with so
and so now so and so is it really so
different Hollywood standard? We compare in New Zealand to Hollywood.
It's pretty much the same. It's the same damn thing. Guys.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Hey, I've got really good news about Mikey two Pies.
So there was a story out a couple of weeks
ago that they were going to liquidation, and I was like, no,
you know, I love markets a really important place to us,
and worrying about the jobs because there's twenty employees there,
and true, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
There's not market too.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yeah, there's not many jobs there at all, and market
two pies and Makets two pies that people love. And
so a a catering business called Montana Group is taking
over the brand and the twenty employees.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Ah, that's so good man. It's time this time of
the year. It's very important that you know people still
have something.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yeah, yeah, thanks for saying that, Charlie. If you know
what I just I realized what you said.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. 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!
