14:05Keyzie:Welcome back, your massive backbones. Hope you're surviving your hump day. You're listening to The Big Show brought to you by Toledo's. From work days to workouts, Toledo's keeps you balanced, refreshed and ready to go. Suck it hard. Pardon? Oh. Well, you don't suck at Toledo's, do you? Yeah, I do. I suck them down. Oh, you suck them down. Yeah, well, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. What did you think of them? Because you hadn't tried them yesterday and you've tried them now, mate.

14:32Jase:No, I tried it when they came in. Oh, you did?

14:35Keyzie:Okay, yes.

14:35Jase:But I wasn't familiar with what the flavour was. Yes. It might have been tropical. Tropical? But every bit as good as all of those other imported muck, is what I ought to call it, Chase. Yes. Why wouldn't you get a Toledo up here? Gizzy? Well, you tip it down here. You don't put it up here.

14:53Keyzie:I actually take one on the way home now just to sup, to keep my energy levels up when I'm walking home, because it's about... Five minutes. It's about a 7.8-kilometre walk. No, it's not. There's a number of bridges. There are no bridges. Steep hills that I have to, you know, get across.

15:13Jase:It is a long way for him, Kesey. It's like a trip to Mordor. He's got lots of adventures he's got to go through, little fella. So when he says a bridge, what is he talking about there? That could be anything. Climbing up a gutter. Yeah, stepping over a gutter.

15:29Keyzie:There's a lot of roadworks around too, you know, and she's pretty precarious, fellas. If you're not paying attention, it could be whoopsie-daisy for old Hoity J. Plus, as we were discussing in the podcast outro today, my hip's giving me a bit of jip. Bit of hip jip. Bit of hip jip, fellas. So good there, fellas. Two hours of tune. White stripes. Yeah, I think so. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Oasis there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time is 5.13.

16:06Jase:Fellas, you know, I'm of a certain age Getting on a bit I turned 50 this year, Keezy Far out, man God, it's going to happen to all of us at some stage I guess it is, yeah Can't wait to see what you guys get me for my present But I guess it's going to be a surprise for now, eh? Anyway, you know, you sort of live in your own home You've got a wife there You've got a child there You've got pets My dog passed away last year, now we've got a cat Tinker You like to think, yes R.O.P. You like to think you'd be able to have some friends come over to stay every now and again and a mate texted me today and he said, all good if I come and stay, man, I'm going to be up from Dunners.

16:45Jase:And I had to pause and think about it. Not because I don't like him and don't want him to stay, not because I'm a loner, but because we've got no duvets or blankets left in the house because Birdshit Chris.

17:03Birdshit Chris.

17:05Jase:my cat. Which is your cat, yeah. Has urinated or defecated on every single blanket in our house. Yesterday, took out another two blankets yesterday. Far out. It's a shambles. Fortunately, we were down to, you know, those plasticky kind of blankets you get. They're fluffy, but they're made out of oil. So, you know, the urine just sort of peels and beads off it. Oh, great. Yeah, nice. Lucky that was the second one down, so it didn't get through the next blanket or all the sheets. Yeah. And literally every single blanket that we own is with the dry cleaners. And so I can't have my friend over to stay because bird shit Chris has been laying waste to my house.

17:46Once again, I think we should change the cat's name to bed shit Chris. But your friend is probably like, wait, so you're saying I can't come stay because your cat's done wheeze on all of the bedding.

17:56Jase:It doesn't sound real. No, it doesn't sound real at all. How do you feel about Kesey lending you some of his linen?

18:05Keyzie:No. So that your friend can come and stay? I didn't even think about that. Kesey, could you bring in some linen? Yes. Because your linen's immaculate. I mean, we do have nice linens, but I don't see what that's got to do with it. So that Mogi can have his friend stay over? I would sooner.

18:25Jase:None of your duvets with the hot rods on it or hold it. Holden Commodores or Bathurst or anything. It was a Greg Murphy duvet, right? And it was when I was a kid. No, I'm not, because I may as well just walk outside, find a dog shit, and rub my bedding in that. Could you? Yeah, I mean, go on. Well, that would shorten. Yeah, just do that then. Well, hang on. That doesn't help you in any way. Why would I do that randomly? It would make me feel better. No.

18:50Keyzie:If anyone out there's got some linen that Mogey could borrow, I mean, you could borrow some of mine, I suppose. Oh, I've got a sleeping... No, I don't even want to give him a sleeping bag.

19:00Jase:No, he won't want to. A sleeping bag's very personal. It's like lending someone a used condom. You just don't do it. Well, I don't think it's quite.

19:06Keyzie:Can you imagine that slipping into your sleeping bag there and at the end of your toes you're going, well, what's that? A used condom? Oh, you're talking about cat wheeze or something. What's that at the end of the sleeping bag? What's that little tube?

19:16Jase:Oh, it's Jizz.

19:18Keyzie:Your cat. My cat, yes. He loves a sleeping bag. These names of your pets are so confusing. Keezy, we didn't choose them, man. The people chose them. No, I know they did. I mustn't forget. But 3483, if anyone's got any sheets, I'd like to lend some ogie. Thanks, man. Coming up next, fellas, we're going to have a yarn to Mel from the Wild Foods Festival. Can you remember her, fellas? Yeah, we've chatted to her a couple of times. She's great. I remember her because she spoon-fed me sheet testings. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki. Yes, indeed. Radiohead there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon.

19:54Keyzie:The time is 5.24. Bloody exciting stuff, fellas. is next week, starting on Thursday, which is the 12th of March, we are doing an official warm-up party for the Hookaticka Wild Foods Festival. That is happening in Christchurch. Fizzing. Fizzing for that at the Richmond Club Critic Bar. Richmond Club's a big club. We've been there before, and it's specifically going to be in the Critic Bar. Then on the Friday, we hop on the old train. We go over to Hookaticka there, and we go to the Wild Foods Festival on Saturday, which is going to be bloody good. So if you haven't got tickets yet, make sure you get along to the website, wildfoods.co.nz.

20:26It's not too late.

20:27Keyzie:Yeah, great stuff. Of course, fellas, I was in Vietnam this time last year and was genuinely gutted about missing out, but I'll be there this time. With that in mind, we've got Mel from the Wild Food Festival on the phone with us. G'day, Mel. You're back, Bonehouse Live. Oh, bloody good, guys. How are you going? Yeah, bloody good. Thanks, Mel. Is the Wild Food Festival excited to have Jason Hoyt down there, man? Do you know what? I had so many people last year asking me where Hoi J was and then remembering he was off tasting other foods in Vietnam. Yeah. I was gutted to miss it, Mel. I mean, the fellas have sort of given me a bit of a rundown of what to expect, but, you know, what kind of foods are we talking here?

21:11Keyzie:Because I'm a pretty exotic eater, it's fair to say. And that's good because we've got a few special treats specially lined up for you, Hoi J. So we start with the traditional mountain oysters, of course. Oh, yeah, now you're talking. Yeah, some hoo-hoo grubs. Yes. A little bit of tongue, some tar, some hot horapito and ferro bites just to get those taste buds on fire. Now you're talking. Good eating. Chicken hearts, feet. Chicken hearts. Okay. See, this is the part I struggle with, Mel, from the Wild Foods Fest. It's like, it's great. You've got the chicken hearts there. You've got the feet, the beaks, whatever.

21:51What do you do with all the good stuff? We save that for other people Yeah right Actually Jase have you ever eaten a hoo-hoo grub?

22:01Keyzie:Yes I have On my uncle's farm in New Plymouth there actually We used to go and seek them out In the old rotten tree stumps And stuff like that I actually quite liked them They were very peanut buttery

22:13Jase:That's right you said it exploded in your mouth

22:16Keyzie:Yeah well I used to get the mouth in a little jar And then get up in the morning Make some toast and smear some hoo-hoo grubs on my toast. Well, we're going to have to go a little bit more exotic for you than Hoytie Day. Yeah, that sounds good. Well, I understand that you spoon-fed old Kesey some balls. Some sheep.

22:37Jase:Some mountain oysters. Yeah, Mel's favourite pastime is giving people mountain oysters. Do you remember the pub gig with us last year there, Mel, and you basically feeding me a bowl of those sheep testies? And you loved them. He was. He was frothing for it. What do you mean I loved them? Yeah. He was absolutely frothing it. Man, I loved it so much. It was so delicious. And to be fair, guys, they're actually better straight off the barbecue rather than in a very hot pub. Yeah. Yeah, that pub was cooking. Is it Stumpers' bar that we were at? Because that bar actually went off. It did go off, and I spent the next month apologizing for a couple of people from your group.

23:21Jase:Yeah, that'd be right. Well, I don't know if you're from our group. Maybe the wider listenership group, dudes that were taking their shirts off and doing yardies. Yeah, that's typical, Mal.

23:30Keyzie:When we turn up, people get their kits off. Yeah. So, Mal, just to make sure that we're sort of on the same page here, will you be able to line up some of those delicious goodies you mentioned, especially hoo-hoo grubs, because Jase loves them, for Jase to try next weekend when we're down? Absolutely. Absolutely. And we'll try and do something even more special just for Woody J. Oh, how good.

23:51Jase:I do just want to say that was my first time at Hukatuka Wild Food Festival last year and it was absolutely amazing. I had a great time. People are unreal. Anyone out there that's thinking about getting along and you haven't been before, absolutely do it because it's an unmissable. Yeah, wildfoods.co.nz and Mel, am I right in saying you've got some pretty damn good musical guests coming along as well? We sure do. We've got a local favourite band Just Dev to start the day off. Then we've got Lady Killers with Annie Cromer. Oh. Tadpole to take us back to our 90s and some of their newer stuff as well.

24:27Yeah. And then to finish off the day, we've got the iconic Sir Dave Dobbin closing us out. Oh. Yeah, can't wait.

24:38Jase:You've got to make sure you call him Sir Dave, otherwise he absolutely fires up. He's got a real temper on him. I haven't seen that temper. Yeah, you're going to.

24:48Keyzie:Yeah, no, he's a shocker. Boy, oh, boy, he's a shocker when you don't call him sir. Well, Mel, very much looking forward to meeting you, very much looking forward to the festival. We'll see you soon, eh? Look, we can't wait. Hawker Tucket is excited again to host you guys, and thank goodness it's not Pugs' birthday, because that's where a lot of the problems started. Yeah, 100 % Pugs has felt you are dead right, Mel. Once again, if you are keen to join us down at the Wild Foods Festival, wildfoods.co.nz. Still some tickets available. She's going to be a ripper. Beautiful. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey.

25:24Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

25:27Keyzie:Stone Temple Pilots there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time is 5.37. And fellas, I went for a little walk down memory lane today. Was this in the big city? In the big city.

25:44Keyzie:With Hoity J. Hey! My lovely wife and I, we were sitting in our apartment, and I said, hey, darling, it's a beautiful day. Let's go for a walk. And she said. And she said, what direction? I went that direction and just sort of pointed down Queen Street. She went, okay. So we went for a walk, and we ended up at Albert Park. And I know if you know Albert Park in Auckland City, fellas, beautiful park. Is it? Yeah, it is. It's a really, it's right next to the Auckland University there. Beautiful park. and I said to my wife, geez, the amount of times I got steamed here with my mates. You know, we'd just turn up there with all this piss and just get really steamed.

26:23Keyzie:Responsibly, of course. But anyway, we were standing there and we looked across at Auckland University and I said, oh, my God, let's go for a bit of a wander through the old university again. Let's do that. And, of course, it's orientation week this week as well. So she was a thriving metropolis of young people and old people. And I was standing in the quad there. And I said to my wife, my God, Jesus just brings back so many memories. The amount of times I was absolutely steamed here. In the quad. In the quad there. I mean, responsibly. Responsibly and stuff. And then we're walking down. And then I look up.

27:05Keyzie:And I see the old Shadows Bar. Oh, yes. You know, the old drinking room there. $2 pints, Moggy. My God. $2 pints back in the day. Can you imagine, Daisy? And I said to my wife, my God, seriously, the amount of times I was absolutely responsibly steamed there. At Shadow's Bar. Is it still called the same thing? I don't know if it is, actually. Yeah. And then we sort of wandered down past the gym. Me and my mate, we used to hang out there by the gym, you know, and just crack open the cask wine. And the amount of times, seriously, we got responsibly steamed. At the gym. Outside the gym because it's a sort of grass area.

27:46Keyzie:They've also got it. And then we went around into the octagonal, they call it, and it's got all these old statues. It's beautiful. It's like manicured lawn. And I said to my wife, geez, you know, to be honest with you, the amount of times we lay in the sun here and just got absolutely responsibly steamed was unbelievable. And the memories, fellas. The memories were just flooding back. Right. Yeah. Did you go into the library? Because they've got a good library there, don't they? Why would I do that? Well, I don't know. Just for the memories. Just trip down memory lane, you know what I mean? Did you go past the library?

28:19No? Okay.

28:20Keyzie:No, we didn't go past the library, actually. Yeah, right, okay. But actually, funny you should mention that, because the amount of times we used to sit in the lobby of the library and just get so responsibly steamed. Right. Me in the fields. Far out. Yeah, yeah. What were you studying at university back in the day? What do you mean? What were you studying? Because you were there getting steamed all the time. Well, you must have been studying. No.

28:49Keyzie:Well, that's good, man. It was memory lane, though, fellas, I tell you. Bit murky, the memories? Yeah, a bit fuzzy. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. The Killers there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time is 5.48. Fellas, interesting story. A couple of blokes there. Backbones. Yeah, well, sure, I mean, they haven't even said what they've done yet, but you can tell. Two blokes. Yeah, true. George Kohler, who's 57, and Josh Kohler, his son, 23 years of age, they've decided to cycle around the world, which is pretty cool. They're on day 308. They've been all around the world, Europe, Africa, Asia, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

29:32They're currently in New Zealand, and they went on record as saying that New Zealand drivers are the most aggressive out of everywhere they have been in the world. They described scenarios where they'll be on really dodgy corners and stuff and then cars would just not give a crap and overtake them anyway and just very, very aggressive. Are New Zealand drivers aggressive? I don't know.

29:56Jase:It'll certainly be my experience. Since I've started riding a push bike these last few months here, I've had some terrible, terrible experiences. Not with cars so much, really, but it's pedestrians. They're just abused. You just scream abuse at you and all that sort of thing. What if a duck's back with me? Boy, Joe, you know me, brother. Sure, yeah. I give it as good as I take it, that's for sure. I bet you do. I mean, you've seen that time and time again. But, yeah, shocking bastards out there, man.

30:21Keyzie:And I'm with Mogi. You know, the amount of times when I was riding my BMX and just be hooning around the place, the amount of abuse I got, you know, you're, what's where you're going, you effing, yeah, it's roads for cars, you effing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, people opening their doors, you know, to try and smash into you. Right.

30:43Jase:You're too old to be right at that, you idiot. You're too old, yeah, yeah. You've got a massive hunger on that, man.

30:48Keyzie:Yeah, tell her you are, that's about the only size, the bloody only bite that would fit you, you tiny-ass bastard. Well, that's very specific. People yelled at you. Yeah, they would, yeah, yeah. Far out. Well, I guess, I mean, that's just people commenting on you guys from the street. But we're talking about people driving here. Yeah. Because I think there is a bit of a, like, you know, people driving cars. There are people that think cyclists should F off and get out of the way. Yeah. The roads for cars.

31:14Jase:And I think that as well. When I'm driving, I think that. But when I'm on my bike, I think that, you know, cars need to be a bit more careful. But when I'm driving, get out of my way, you idiot. Oh, it does my head in.

31:26Keyzie:I mean, nothing will get me more effing and jeffing than some idiot on a BMX just cycling in front of me. It's like, what an idiot. What an idiot.

31:38Jase:Do you yell abuse at them? Yeah, totally I do. Right. Get out of the way, you sawn-off little bastard. You know, they're eight. An eight-year-old. Yeah, yeah. Take your training wheels off, you loser. Yeah, they're three. Well, I'm just interested to know if any of the listeners, I don't know about three, but if any of the listeners there have had any bad experiences either whilst driving a car and a cyclist is being a pain in the arse, or vice versa, if you're a cyclist and cars have been aggressive, etc. I want to figure out if New Zealand is actually an aggressive place. I had a pregnant woman abuse me once.

32:13Jase:Absolutely going off at me. Right. Absolutely going off. But that was your wife, wasn't it? Yeah.

32:23Jase:She was like, look at the honker on that part.

32:28The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

32:35Keyzie:It sure is the biggest show. Bit croaky there, Jase. No. Okay, go on. What are you suggesting? It just sounded really croaky and then you just stopped after saying it sure is the biggest show.

32:46Jase:Yeah. But you're all good, man. And it's brought to you. He swallowed it now. Okay.

32:52Keyzie:By Toledo's. Why pause your thirst? defeat it with Toledo's. Do you like the applause? Or does it not make sense?

33:01Jase:We're still finding it, Keith. I know, and I feel like I'm crowbarring. What we do here is very special, and it's just going to take us a little bit of time to get it. Yeah, yeah.

33:08Keyzie:We're groping around in the dark a little bit at this point. I don't know if I like that term. I mean, we'll find it. Don't you worry about it. Hey, fellas, just quickly, I've just noticed on our Instagram story, it says, Breaking news, congrats. New All Blacks coach, Dave Big Red Rennie. Big Red, yeah. I think he's going to do a good job. I really do. I mean, he's only got a year, but Big Red, if anyone can do it, it's Big Red.

33:36Jase:Big Red, man. But his name's not Big Red. Big Red gets it.

33:39Keyzie:He's a very humble. He's not ginger. That's not why they call him Big Red, is it? No, not at all. You know, he's got a lot of experience. He's had overseas experience and international experience. Don't you think Big Red is going to do a good job? Yeah, Big Red. I just think it's confusing that we're calling him Big Red, Dave Rennie, when it just doesn't make any sense. That's his nickname. Oh, because it's his nickname. Yeah. You promise? Because I've never heard that ever.

34:06Jase:Well, the thing about it is they don't really put nicknames into the All Blacks coach. There's a certain sanctity around it. You don't put nicknames. Oh, you wouldn't like Fraser Robertson or Shag Hansen. Not in the announcement mode. Or Ted Henry. Yeah, yeah. Or Gris Wiley.

34:25Keyzie:Gris, yeah. Or Dave Big Red Rennie, you know? Yeah, right. Okay, good point, Mogi. I guess you didn't think about it that way, man. It's definitely his nickname, though.

34:34Jase:Big Red. Big Red, innit? Yeah. What?

34:40Keyzie:What? What are you saying about? Hello. Now you're talking. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki. Kings of Leon there on the Radio Hauraki big show this Wednesday evening. The time is 6.12. Before you get into your breaking news, Keezy, I'm a little bit concerned about what you're wearing. And then when you walk outside tonight, it's very blustery out there, Mogi. It's freezing cold. Keezy's wearing a pristine white singlet.

35:21Jase:It's a spouse beater.

35:22Keyzie:A spouse beater and a short-sleeved, very thin shirt, Keezy. You're not concerned at all about, because you get a bit chesty, so I'm just concerned that you're not really prepared for the weather out there.

35:35Jase:I think you're going to look sick, because if it is blowing a gale, you put your arms out, your shirt will be blowing behind you. It'll be like a Michael Jackson video, because he used to wear those singlets as well, with the high-waisted pants. Yes. Well, that's what I'm going for. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Thanks for your concern, Jase. I reckon I'll be sweet.

35:51Keyzie:Okay. That's fine, man. Just because it's like a two-minute walk to the car. That's fine. Anyway, we're a minute in now, but let's start my segment. What's on the news with me, Keezy? What's on the news with me, Keezy? Segment I don't think we've ever done. I forgot we had this

36:14Jase:Well there hasn't been news big enough So I'm looking forward to this Until now Until now Fellas 2024 An Italian restaurant over in Perth Named Mikey's Italian Fusion Nice Accidentally served two children Sisters aged 11 and 12 Insect repellent Instead of cranberry juice Right So they asked for cranberry juice The barman went, oh, yeah, I think we've got some. Oh, yeah, this is it here. Poured it into two glasses. They drank it, spat it out, probably ingested a wee bit of it. And then the mumman was like, what's wrong with it? I thought, oh, it's poison. She had a drink, was like, oh, my gosh, spat it out as well, took them to court.

36:58The owner of the restaurant, Mikey's Italian Fusion, was fined$40 ,000. $40 ,000. The restaurant's now closed because they didn't have food safety standards in place and also, like, how do you pick up a bottle and go, oh, that must be it? Why have you got your insect repellent citronella sitting with the juice?

37:16Keyzie:And this happened a year ago. 2024. Right. I wasn't the one who said it was breaking news. I just said, what's on the news? From a year ago. So the event happened a year ago, Jase, but he was fined$40 ,000 very recently.

37:30Jase:Right, okay. Today even. That happened to me once. Really? That happened to me once, yeah. You were fined$40 ,000? Not the finding of the$40 ,000, but I once gave some kids some cranberry juice and I was meant to give them citronella. Right, so you were meant to feed them insect repellent. Yeah. Why? Kids. Oh, yeah, totally. Has this ever happened to you, Jase, or do you want to talk about my outfit some more? And then diss my segment for not being current enough.

38:00Keyzie:Well, no, no, I just didn't realise it was from over a year ago. that you found the news story.

38:07Jase:The news is from today. That took a long time to get through the courts. That's shocking. Yeah, that's not good, is it? I mean, what's going on with our court system? Mikey must have been stressed out having that hanging over him for all that time. Well, no, it's just the name of the restaurant. The owner's name is... What was the name of the restaurant again? Mikey's Italian Fusion.

38:24Keyzie:You look like the way you're dressed at the moment, you could be running that place, Kesey. Why? Because I look like I'm dressed Italian? You don't think that's racist? saying that. Hey! Cool, Will. I'm definitely going to do this segment again. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Green day there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show. Wednesday evening. The time is 6.22 and, fellas, very soon we're going on a choo-choo train. We certainly are, Jase. Man. I just found that just then. That's cool. In the system. we are going on a choo choo train we're riding the trans alpine feelers next week over the old Alps there to hook a ticket for the wild foods festival so on the Thursday night which I believe is the 12th we are at Critic Bar at the Richmond Club the Richmond Club is a massive club down there in Christchurch near Shirley I believe and the Critic Bar is a part of that come along 407 we'll be there backbone shirts galore it's going to be all on for young and old it's going to be great Friday we then go on the trans alpine across to Hookaticka.

39:33If you're keen to ever take this journey, by the way, greatjourneysnz.com. Now, I told you guys that we've been in touch with the sort of the big people upstairs at the Transalpine there, and they have said that we have permission to enter the caboose. Nice. Yeah, so I just thought what I'd do.

39:52Keyzie:I don't, I'm not really interested in entering the caboose. You're the only one that seemed to be entering the caboose, which is fine. You can't tell me that you've never thought about entering the caboose. Been there, done that. Yeah, look, it's never been my thing entering the caboose. Right, okay. So you've done it before. Oh, yeah. Well, you're a trained guy. I love it. Yeah. But with that in mind, fellas, I've got five caboose facts for you.

40:16Jase:Nice. Douche, douche.

40:24Sorry. All right, fact number one. A caboose is a rail car traditionally attached to the end. of a train.

40:36Four more to go, fellas. It served as a workspace and living quarters for crew members, including the conductor and brakeman.

40:49Jase:That's interesting. Thank you. Cabooses often had a raised observation area called a cupola, so crew could monitor the train for shifting loads or mechanical problems. Copola. Yeah. They typically contain basic facilities such as desks, bunks, a stove, etc. Communication. That sort of goes back to that previous fact, doesn't it? That's doubling down. We already know that it was an office. Right, okay, so it should be four facts. Yeah, that's four facts. Okay, so not five. Because it also had the workers' clothes stored there as well on their toothbrushes. Okay, maybe it's three facts. Oh, here's a bonus one I just thought of.

41:34They were largely phased out in the 80s. Trains? No, cabooses. Replaced by electronic monitoring devices instead, otherwise known as an EOT.

41:47Jase:Where do they sleep then? Where do they have their office if they've got no caboose? I don't know Caboose I don't know but apparently the Trans Alpine still has a caboose and I'm keen to get in it Did you enjoy that Jase? What? Sorry? You know I put so much effort into these little segments and things I want to get in I want to be with the driver Shoveling the coal pulling the horn Oh mogie up there The Hauraki Big Show Weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki

42:20Keyzie:Smashing pumpkins there on the Radio Hodaki Big Show this Wednesday evening. The time is 6.33, and it's time for this. Meet Paddy Nips 69 at gmail.com. Get in touch. With the feelers. Damn it, Jase. So close there to not having seen... Meet Paddy Nips 69 at gmail.com. Real email address. If you need advice on anything, it's anonymous. Get in touch. And if you read it on the show, you get a prize. prize pack. Yeah. Put together by old Pugsna, which is nice. This one comes in fellers, but it says, hey, fellers, and most importantly, Mogi. Over the summer, I've been working as a furniture removalist in Christchurch, which you have experience with.

43:09Jase:I do. Listening to the potty the other day, Mogi was saying that you've got to tip furniture removalists and it's the right thing to do. Well, over the summer, I've gotten zero cash tips and the most I actually got was one beer from someone. I was just wondering, fellas, is this a problem with me or is this a problem from the snobby people of Christchurch? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Anonymous. Well, I did my furniture removing in Australia, of course. Yeah. They had a bit more money around. Maybe it's something that's specific to Australia. Maybe it's an Australian habit that they've got over there and it doesn't extend to New Zealand.

43:45Jase:How often would you get a tip? Pretty much every time. Yeah, see, I've never heard of... When you said that the other day on the potty, you were like, oh, you've got to tip, Jase, you have to tip your moving.

43:54Keyzie:Yes, and I took that to heart and I did very, very generously.

44:01Jase:How much? 80 bucks. It's pretty good though, isn't it? Because those guys did a great job. They did, yeah. They did a great job and it's a hard yakka. It's hard yakka, the old furniture removals. Now, you don't tip them if they've had a shocker. Yeah, if they've just sort of sat in the bog and hung off the vape and stuff. Exactly.

44:18Keyzie:Yeah, because I'd never heard of it before, but because you'd said that, I went, oh, jeez, I better make sure I do this, otherwise I'm going to be filthy with old Hoody J. Yeah. So, yeah. So maybe this guy either has done a shit job the entire summer.

44:33Jase:Yeah. I don't know. I'm just paying it back because I got it done, and I thought it was bloody good. Very generous. And it seems to me that that's kind of backbone shit. You tip people for that. I don't know in New Zealand if you do. No, that's what I'm saying. I don't know in New Zealand if you do or not. I mean.

44:51Keyzie:But I don't think it's a bad thing to start doing. Now that you've said that, I'm kind of fuming a little bit. I mean, the fellas did a great job, but if I hadn't known that, I wouldn't have tipped them.

45:00Jase:I mean, 80 bucks was far too much. I don't know where you got that number from. Because what were you thinking, like 10 bucks? 10 bucks.

45:06Keyzie:Well, there was like three of them. Well, only, to be fair, two of them were doing all the work. The other one was just telling them what to do. Yeah, that's right. And he said, oh, thanks, mate. The fellas will appreciate that at the end of the day. Yeah, right. A few beersies. So was it$80 per person? No, just$80. Oh, okay.

45:23Jase:Can't split it. So he would have gone$40 because he was standing in the truck packing it. Yes. $20,$20. Yeah, probably. I'd say so. Well,$60,$10,$10. So you gave a guy$40 for doing nothing?

45:35Keyzie:Well, he was organising it, Keezy. He packed it up very tight. Yeah. Noice and toy. But he was just playing Tetris, essentially, while the other dudes were actually moving the blocks around.

45:44Jase:Yes. Yeah, right. Yeah, I don't know. Well, that's interesting. If anybody out there is a furniture removalist, let us know. Do people tip in New Zealand? I hate it. Jeez, if I led you down the garden path here, Jase, I'd feel terrible that you've parted with 80 bucks. Yeah, I'm filthy about that. I know how much you love a dollar. Bloody oath I do. The good news is I haven't been led down the garden path. Oh, that's good. Because you've led Jase down there. We've now realised that it's maybe not the case. You've stood on the street watching him get led down the garden path. And just gone, oh, classic Jase is getting led down the old path by Mogi again.

46:15Keyzie:It also depends, re-tipping, what mood I'm in. Like if I'm in a hoover mood, I go, no, I'm not tipping. But if I'm in a good mood, I'll be old, generous. Generous to a fault hoity J. Yeah, right, okay. But you hate tipping, eh, Keezy? You bang on about it. I 100 % hate tipping. I'm thinking of restaurant tipping, but we've talked about this. I hate getting asked if I want to give a tip. It should be built into the bill.

46:41Jase:Well, I saw there was a restaurant and this is getting a little bit off pace there, but over in the States, and this restaurant was in the news because they'd started paying their staff the living wage. Rather than tips. And a bit more, and then as a result, they put signs up saying, as a result, tipping is not expected. You don't have to do it. Don't worry about it. So that's the case in New Zealand. You're already getting paid. That's right. Bet you a lot. 100%.

47:05Keyzie:But even in that scenario, Kesey, I mean, if they weren't getting paid, you wouldn't tip them in. No, no, definitely not. I'm a massive prick. so yeah what advice for this guy no back paddock

47:15Jase:I would just ask around you and you've got to make sure you're doing a good job and if in doubt just thieve just steal yeah steal stuff from the house good idea the Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki
