12:43Keyzie:The Radio Horaki.

12:45Mike Minogue:Good countdown. Music snobbery with financial benefits.

12:52Keyzie:Yes, indeed. I need$100 every hour of every day while the goat's running. I love it, fellas. I love giving away cash all the time to the listeners.

13:01Mike Minogue:It's good stuff. But only as a radio station, not in, you know.

13:05Keyzie:I do it in my personal life as well. I just love giving cash away. Yeah. You know what I mean? Especially with my dog squad money and all that sort of stuff. I just chuck it around.

13:14Mike Minogue:And your outrageous fortune money. Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, so much money. Should we go to the lines, fellas?

13:19Keyzie:I think so. Get a mark, you mad bastard. How's life?

13:22Mike Minogue:Oh, g'day, you mad busters. Bloody great.

13:25Keyzie:Good on you, mate. Hey, tell me, Mark, what do you do for a crust? Sparky. Oh, yeah. Backbone. Backbone. Yeah, yeah. Actually, I was just being told by a sparky, me old house, fellas, I have to get it completely rewired. Sounds like, yeah. You know, it's one of those things, it's not up to date, as they say. Do they say that it's not up to date, do they? Yeah, well, something along those lines, eh, Mark? Well, there's a grandfather call, so as long as you don't touch it, it should be fine. Oh, okay. Yeah, there you go. Good to know. Now, tell me, Mark, what would you do with$100? Because, I mean, you could quit your job if you wanted to.

13:59Probably take, yeah, quit my job. Take family to see James retire. Yeah, nice. That's the one, man. You got it. You could buy Jase's house and renovate it from top to bottom.

14:08Mike Minogue:I could rewire it, yeah. Yeah, what a treat. $100 should almost cover that.

14:13Keyzie:Yeah, nice. Well, you enjoy that, Mark.

14:16Mike Minogue:Thank you.

14:16Keyzie:No worries, mate. Good on you, man.

14:18Mike Minogue:Pugs will give you a good seeing, too. That's right. $800 every single hour of The Goat. Another hour of The Goat coming up after five films.

14:26Keyzie:Unbelievable. I'm fizzing about it.

14:27Mike Minogue:More$100 to be thrown around. But should we get back into the countdown? Yes, please.

14:30Keyzie:I think so. What number there are? 610. The Goat.

14:36Mike Minogue:You know, we've got The Goat here. Everybody piss off.

14:38Keyzie:The countdown for real music connoisseurs. On Radio Hauraki. 610. Lady Hawk. My delirium.

14:46Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Holaki.

14:53Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Coming in at 6.09, Kings of Leon fans, fellas. It's quite low down the pecking order for me. I like that song. You love Kings of Leon, man. Yeah, I do like them a lot. So do I, actually. They're a very good band. Hey, fellas, should we talk TV? Yeah. What's on the telly with Mike Minogue?

15:14Keyzie:Yes. Yeah. Yes. My wife and I had a classic situation last night. where I was looking at our bank account. And I went, oh, do we still have Disney Channel, do we? Because we're paying for it. Disney Channel or the... It's called Disney, I think. Disney Plus, yes. Yes. And I went, well, we must have because we're paying for it. Found it. So I was like, oh, that's good. Then let's see what's on here. And we started watching this show called Furious. And the basic premise is this. an FBI agent goes undercover to capture a female serial killer who only marries lonely millionaires. Starring Emmy Rossum, who's best known, I would say, for her role as Fiona in Shameless.

16:02Keyzie:Oh, yeah, I like her. Yeah, she's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. And it's actually a pretty good show. You know, it's the same old, same old, but with a little twist that it's a female serial killer, as opposed to your standy kind of male serial killer. But we're talking about sort of a Black Widow character, which has been done in a few times. And actually the show is loosely based on the, was it a film, The Black Widow? Yeah, sure. It's based on that. Yeah. And it's basically this sort of creepy woman who gets attached to millionaires and tops them. Yeah, good on her. But she's very good at it, and she's very, very clever, Mogi.

16:41Keyzie:Yeah, I bet. Look, for what it is, I'll give it three out of five buzies.

16:47Mike Minogue:That's pretty good. That was on Disney. Yeah, it was on Disney.

16:49Keyzie:Disney, Furious.

16:51Mike Minogue:Last night, fellas, my wife and I watched, and I've never seen my wife this excited for it to be Tuesday 8.30 p.m., which is when the next episode of the show comes out. Colin from Account Season 3. Right. Now, Aussie show, the husband and wife that wrote and created the show play the two main characters. They both share a dog. It's like a rom-com comedy. It's such a good show. And season three, which is the final season, unfortunately, is by far and away, I think, one of the funniest seasons of Australian TV I've seen in so long. Season two kind of was a bit, it was good. Season three. It wasn't as good as the first one, was it?

17:30Mike Minogue:No, season three is better than the first season. It's on TVNZ+. It's a good thing that you can watch with your partner. Half an hour episodes. Very, very funny Aussie comedy. Absolutely loved the first season, I think. we stopped watching the second season, but I'll go back for the third now. Yeah, the second season, we watched it, but we were just getting through it. We were like, oh. And then when the third season came out, the first couple of episodes are so funny. Great. We were stoked. So I highly recommend TVNZ Plus, Colin from Accounts, 4.2 busies.

17:56Keyzie:My wife's been secretly watching that when I'm not there. Has she? Yeah.

18:00Mike Minogue:Does she like it?

18:01Keyzie:Yeah, I think so, yes.

18:02Mike Minogue:Yeah, the latest season's so great.

18:03Keyzie:So now we're in that position where she's watched three or four episodes or whatever, and it's like, oh, what am I supposed to do then? You want to watch whatever you want to watch. And you said that you looked through it and went, Idiot. You wish.

18:18Mike Minogue:Yeah. Let's get back to the countdown, fellas.

18:24Keyzie:608 REM Stand.

18:29Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

18:35Keyzie:You're welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope you're getting through your hump day tickety-boo. You're listening to The Big Show, by the way. Brought to you by Reburguer.

18:42Mike Minogue:Beef, chicken and vegan and vegetarian options. Sue Reburguer, redefining the norm. You picked a goat? Yeah, your greatest of all time for 2026.

18:51Keyzie:Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I have. I have. What'd you go for? Oh, easy one, mate. Easy. I went for Pearl Jam again. Every year, that's my goat. Oh, yeah, that's pretty good. Go on. Tell me yours. I went for a Regent Red. Is that like a rock band? No, it's a bear gear.

19:12Mike Minogue:A bear gear. Okay, how's this? How's this? My goat, 2026. The Regent Red by Rebeg. Yummy. Yep. Happy with that?

19:27Keyzie:Yeah, I am. Well done, pugs. I love it.

19:29Mike Minogue:It's good stuff, fellas. It's really good stuff. Of course, continuing this hour. Another$100 to give away, fellas.

19:34Keyzie:Now, I believe, Kesey, you're going out for dinner or whatever for your birthday today, mate?

19:40Mike Minogue:I am going out for dinner. Oh, my God. Pugs is coming. Oh, what the? Pugs is coming to the studio. He's got some sort of gift. Hang on a minute, big dog. Okay, I'm just getting a bit of video because, of course, Pugs is coming to the studio holding something. Yes. So he's normally the person that records things being given, you know? So I'm just getting my phone out here and I'm just recording this moment for posterity. Posterity. Just for the listeners too, it's some sort of framed photo or poster or something, and it's currently being hidden from my view. Okay, yeah, good. He's coming around.

20:10Mike Minogue:He's sort of sauntering around the desk there. All right, here we go. Just taking a look. Three, two, one, and cool. That is so shit. A photo of my stupid pigeon who hasn't won a single race or even finished in the top 20 or anything. It's A3. Keezy looking over his beak. Keezy on all wings looking over his beak with me, Keezy. That's right. Framed in an A3, a beautiful white frame that you've got there, Keezy. And can I say that this picture is probably worth about$8, which is a damn sight more than that bird's worth.

20:52Keyzie:Yeah, man. And can I just... Jeez, it's been a special day, Keezy. You've had heaps of guests. I haven't had heaps of guests.

21:01Mike Minogue:It was just you four times. And now I've got a photo of a pigeon.

21:06Keyzie:That is a lovely photo of the pigeon, by the way. Over here, man. That is beautiful. Where are you going to put that? In the lounge?

21:15Mike Minogue:Yeah, I'll put it up in the lounge, man. I think so. My wife will be stoked with that. Hey, should we get back to the goat countdown? Yeah, what do you reckon?

21:22Keyzie:Yeah, I guess so, but I'm having so much fun. But where are we up to here? 607. As voted by the Hauraki Faithful. Your greatest of all time countdown. Number 607. Tom Petty. Jam and me.

21:41Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

21:45Keyzie:Nirvana there on the Hauraki Big Show. dumb coming in at number 606, Fielz. I'm a little bit concerned, Fielz, that my mind is disintegrating in many different ways. And I've sort of been talking to you guys a little bit over the last few weeks about it. I'm losing short-term memory. I'm forgetting people's names. I'm forgetting words that are really simple and straightforward. I'm constantly saying, what do you call it? What do you call it? You know, like, yeah, what is it again? No, not that, you idiot. Yeah, no, not that. And I can tell you people are really impressed by you when you're talking that way.

22:25Totally. Sort of a dithering old fool. And so it was so bad a couple of mornings ago, I was sitting at my computer trying to get through some work, and it was absolutely horrendous. It was so bad that I could actually feel like my brain was a little bit melted. Yes. So I asked AI, that's what they call it. You almost forgot two lures there. if I could do a test and I explained what was going on and they gave me a test to do there. And the first thing they do is, and we've done this here before, Kesey, was they give you five words and you have to remember that and then you give them back. Now, I think I got four out of five right there, so I was pretty stoked with that.

23:02Then you go through a whole bunch of other questions and sort of tasks and puzzles that you have to do. And I didn't go too bad. I buggered up a couple. And I knew all along that they were going to ask me what those five words were at the start. They were going to ask me that at the end. That's the oldest trick in the book. You're going to remember these. Yeah, exactly. So at some point, I got up and went and made a coffee, and I kind of forgot that I was doing the test. And then I went back there. And by the time I – yeah, because you had to make a list of as many animals as you could remember in 60 seconds.

23:35So you had to write all those down. I went pretty good, six or seven. What was your first animal? I think it was probably an ant or an ant eater or an aardvark. I just thought I'd go alphabetically would be the easiest thing for me. That's clever. That's clever. Because you've got a cat. No, no, I was going letters because I was so worried about my brain. I thought I'd need to stick to some kind of a, what do you call it there? A system. Thank you.

24:01Keyzie:Can I ask in terms of, you know, like the five words? I don't want to get too specific here. Funnily enough, I can remember them now. Do they say remember the five words in order or do you just have to remember the five words? You have to remember them in order and then at the end when I couldn't remember them, it started giving me clues. Oh, okay. What about this? I see carpets, like close. I see another one was dwelling. A dwelling that's a building that people live in. I had a guess, I went house. And then I went, oh, you're close. And then it goes, maybe it's one of these three things that ended up being cabin.

24:35It's funny that I can remember these now. Cabin, right. I couldn't remember it then. But ultimately what it came down to is AI told me I need to book in an appointment with a doctor. Right. So I'm a little bit concerned about that. About what? Huh?

24:54Mike Minogue:Well, to help you, Mogi, I found a very interesting article about the midlife habits that actually make your brain sort of stop functioning as well. So if you want, we could go through those and sort of see how they apply to you. And Jase, this will be good for you as well. Yes. And there are healthy changes that you can make to get that brain fired up and working again. Well, 100 % I need it. And I am genuinely worried about this because it's something, like Jase, we were talking about the other day, there was somebody that both of us know very well. For the life of me, I could not remember her name.

25:23Yes. Absolute disgrace. I was like, what's her name? And you gave me the first name. I still couldn't remember her last name. Yeah. So it is a little bit of a worry. So I'm hoping this test that you've found on, you know, on the Herald is really going to sort me out.

25:37Keyzie:Mate, you know, just I think it was on Monday, I was talking to my wife and I was going, you know, you know who she is, our daughter. You know, come on, man. Oh, wow, you've got your daughter's name. Seriously, this is true. There was also, I came across a dementia test. Oh. And I looked at the first question and I answered the first question and it was like, correct, and I went, I'm sweet as. Yeah, that's the one.

26:06Mike Minogue:Seriously, and I moved on. It was like, is your name Jase? Yes.

26:10Keyzie:Gentlemen, this is The Goat. Democracy Manifest. It's like democracy, but with better music on Radio Hauraki. Number 605. Evanescence, bring me to life.

26:25Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

26:31Keyzie:Indeed, the Foo Fighters there on the Hauraki Big Show. this Wednesday evening. The time is 5.40, 6.03 on the go countdown. Now, fellas, I think it's fair to say, and I think you'll agree with me, when I say that old Hoody J's a pretty chill dude. Oh, yeah. Yeah, totally. You know what I mean? Look, I'll admit sometimes I can be a bit of a curmudgeon. Yes. I can be a bit of a grumpy old bugger, but I mean, generally speaking, I'm very chill. And I often have interactions with people that are unusual and odd. Is this a strange encounter? It's an aggro encounter. I have Strange Encounters. This is, well, we are, okay, Strange Encounters.

27:08Keyzie:Strange Encounters of the Hoytikah. But this one wasn't in the CBD. It was out west. I'd just played golf with Keezy. And as is my want on the way home, there's a particular dairy that I stop at. It's my little treat after golf.

27:26Mike Minogue:Nippy's iced coffee?

27:27Keyzie:No, it wasn't a Nippy's Keezy. It's a chocolate milk that I like to get. Which one? Which one? It is unbelievable to me that you are drinking chocolate milk at your age. It really is. I know. It's great. It is kind of crazy. Lewis Road or something like that. Oh, yo. That's a good treat. It's good stuff, Mookie. You love it. And anyway, so I always get myself one from there when I'm coming back from golf. Now, as I was walking out of the dairy, I walked out of the dairy and to my left on the pavement, there was a dude about, and I'm not joking. about four or five metres away from him, and he stops and he goes, oh, for F's sake.

28:08Yeah, sounds about right. Can I just say that this does sound like a weird encounter.

28:12Mike Minogue:It's a strange encounter, yeah.

28:14Keyzie:Well, I guess it does, yeah. It's just part of the course for me. And I sort of stopped, and yeah, I guess it is weird. And I went, what's the problem, mate? Oh, wow. And he went, what's where you're effing going? Now, again, I'll reiterate to you, he was a good four or five metres away from me. He wasn't running or doing anything like that. He was just walking along. We would never have crossed paths if we'd just had to carry it on in our normal trajectory.

28:44Mike Minogue:And all you'd done is walked out of a shot.

28:45Keyzie:I just literally walked out of the dairy with my chocolate milk. Your chocolate milk. And something just sparked in me. And I went, what's your effing problem, mate? Wow. There he is. There he is. Is this guy only a little fella? Look, he wasn't huge. He might have been a little bit older than old Hoody J. I was like, what's your effing problem, mate? And he goes, just watch where you're effing going, mate. Oh, he's not banging down with old Hoody J. He wasn't banging down. He was like a little cockerel. He'd puffed up his chest. Yeah, good. And I went, and I can't say it on air, and I just looked at this guy and I went, mate, go **** yourself.

29:29Keyzie:Yeah, good. And then I walked to my car strutting. Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, feeling pretty good about myself, actually, because normally I'd go, oh, and just carry on walking. Got in my car, and as I was driving off, he was giving me the finger and stuff, and it was just like, why? Why? Yeah. There was nothing going on. He was obviously just having a bad day, and he thought he'd take it out on Hoity J, and boy, did I show him. He picked the wrong guy. He picked the wrong guy. Was that the first time an old fella's given you the finger? No. The Goat on Radio Hauraki. Number 602. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

30:06Keyzie:Into the great wide open.

30:08Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. The Radio Hauraki Goat Countdown. Music snobbery with financial benefits.

Let's go to the phone lines, fellas. G'day, Ryland. How's life? Oh, pretty grouse. What do you do? How about yourself, mate? Yeah, good things, mate. You sound like a good Southland boy. You're from Southland, Ryland? Sure, I'm a man born and bred. Oh, yeah, backbone. What do you do down in Southland there, Ryland?

30:49Mike Minogue:Studying at Christchurch at the moment. Oh, yeah. Nice, mate. What are you studying, you sicko? Counting in sex. Oh, yeah. That's good shit. Yeah, back bone. And he's gone for a ride on a sheep.

31:03Keyzie:Oh, many times. Yeah, good idea, mate. What will you do with$100, Ryland?

31:08Mike Minogue:Probably pay off my whole student loan, I think. Yeah, 100%, man. She'll have some money left over as well. It's a good way to do it because you can pay off your loan, but you can probably pay off the loan of everybody at your university. Yeah, I reckon. I'm definitely having the flatmates of that anyway. Yeah, yeah, good idea. You can probably buy a nice plot of land down in Southland as well. Yeah, yeah, I reckon. A farm or something, yeah.

31:28Keyzie:Yeah, totes, totes. Hey, will you enjoy that$100, Ryland?

31:31Mike Minogue:Cheers, Odie J.

31:32Keyzie:Good on you, mate.

33:57Keyzie:And you're getting older now, Kesey. You've got a bit of wisdom about you. You've lived a bit of life. I mean, you know, you've got something to contribute for sure.

34:05Mike Minogue:Yeah, you do, man. I thought I always did. A few greys, a few grey hairs. Yeah, a few grey hairs. Really? Yeah, totally. One or two, yeah, I guess so. But, of course, the big news as far as the big show is concerned, fellas, is that tomorrow's show is going to be live from Wellington. That's true. Bethel Woods, it's a great little pub down there, right in the CBD of Wellington. So if you're in the area, come on down. But after 6.2, we need to have a bit of a planning meeting about how that's going to look, all right? Okay.

34:49Keyzie:Actually, I'll be grabbing some of that down in Welly, I think.

34:52Mike Minogue:What do you mean? Reburger?

34:53Keyzie:Yeah. Ooh! After the show, but we'll talk about that because there's lots going on.

34:57Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you having for dinner tonight, Mogi? You don't know, do you? You're right, Kesey. I don't know, man, but that's not a bad idea. A little bit of Reburger. How do you, like, I think we've discussed this, but when I'm sitting here every single day, I am looking forward to dinner, and I need to know what it is so I know what I'm looking forward to. Yes. You just don't care, do you? Not at all. No, no, no, I've got enough on my mind without worrying about bloody food, mate. What else is on your mind, man? What else is on my mind? Nothing, really, because I forget everything.

35:25So that's handy. But, yeah, no, I don't worry. I know it's going to be yum. I know, and there's, yeah, so no, I don't sort of build my world around it. No. I do. I know, you love it. You guys do. God bless you. You guys absolutely love it.

35:38Keyzie:Both of you. Yeah, totally I do. Both of you do. Both of you love it. I mean, my night's ruined when I know that Keezy's having something disappointing. You know what I'm saying?

35:47Mike Minogue:Which is very rare, fellas. I eat very well. Yes. Quality-wise. Can I say, he's got to be careful now as well, because he's hit that age, 35. Easy to put on, hard to get it off, Keezy. Jeez, yeah. Oh, God.

36:02Keyzie:I mean, we may be a little bit older than you and look in top shape, but that takes a lot of work, Keezy.

36:10Mike Minogue:Both of those sentences, 100 % true.

36:14Keyzie:We are in top shape. What are you having for dinner, Jase? Well, I think hot pot.

36:19Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah, hot pot. Oh, hot pot. Congrats, man. What flavour?

36:23Keyzie:House? House hot pot. Yeah, just house. House flavour? Yeah, level two spice. How many wontons? Four. Really? Yeah. How many shrimp? Four.

36:34Mike Minogue:Wow. Four and four. Any meat?

36:36Keyzie:No. Just veggies and stuff. I'm healthy. You don't get a body like this just devouring all that sort of stuff, Kesey. Yeah, that's true, actually. That's true. Hey, what's coming up next?

36:49Mike Minogue:Planning of the Wellington live show tomorrow at Bethel Woods, but musically a bit of super groove.

36:53Keyzie:Oh, yeah, good.

And doing a great job, too. Yeah, great job. Yeah, thanks. So we thought we'd get him in and go, because we were asking a few questions about what's happening in Welly and stuff, so we thought we'd get him in here to help us out.

37:49Mike Minogue:Yeah, Pugs, what's happening in Wellington? Oh, man. So we get into Wellington at about 9.30 tomorrow morning. How do we get in there? Via plane, Moe. Oh, via plane. Airplane, okay. Yeah, via aeroplane, yes.

38:34Keyzie:I haven't, but I'd rather not.

38:36Mike Minogue:No, yeah, I just don't. I don't mind, but only for like five minutes. Can they meet us at the airport and we'll just say g'day and then jump in a cab? Where are we cabbing to, fellas? How about this?

38:47Keyzie:They meet us at the airport, pick us up and drop us at a cafe. There we go, then we get some quality time. So they drop us at the cafe.

40:20Mike Minogue:No, that's fine. There's a great spot I know of in Palmerston North. Oh, yeah. Really great cafe. The beauty of it is we've got six hours to kill. That's right. So we can go to Palmerston North. We'll Uber there. It's on the expressway there. We'll go to Palmerston and watch The Odyssey. And then we'll come back. Bloody good idea, Moggy. But of course, we will make sure that we are at Bethel Woods tomorrow, 4pm till 7, doing a live broadcast, and we will encourage all the listeners to come on down. And can I just say there'll also be a live throbber there as well. Just don't worry about it. It's going to happen.

Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

41:27Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Collective soul there on the Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening, but right now it's time for... We're off to find the brewery of the day. He's been off tune all afternoon with your birthday song. He's doing it deliberately, Keezy.

41:51Mike Minogue:Hang on, is he out of tune or are your ears just on the piss?

41:55Keyzie:No, he's out of tune.

41:57Mike Minogue:You've got wonky ears, man. Have you not noticed that?

41:58Keyzie:No, my ears are perfectly balanced.

42:01Mike Minogue:Hey, fellas, we're off to find the brewery of the day. Today's brewery is Tuatata. Who are the ones responsible for getting us down to Bethel Woods tomorrow, 4 to 7 in Wellington, for a live show? Yeah, nice. Tuatata have been brewing the good stuff since 2001. 2001, they were one of New Zealand's original craft beer legends. I don't think I can get past that. What did you just call it? 2001s. Yeah, that's my bad, guys.

42:28Keyzie:Have you started your party early here tonight, Keezy?

42:30Mike Minogue:Come on, man. Hey, born on the Carpity Coast, these guys have always done things their own way. No, Tuatata, obviously. Oh, right. Mixing Kiwi influence with plenty of creativity to create bears that stand out from a crowd. With a third eye firmly open, Tuatata are still pushing boundaries and bringing plenty of flavor to Bear Vana 2026. And, of course, thanks to them, we are down at Bethel Woods tomorrow, 4 p.m. till 7. We'll see you there. Official Bear Vana warm-up show with the big show. I was on the family and friends list for Tuatara for quite a while. Oh, really? For quite some time. What does that mean?

43:05You get invites and stuff. No, no, you get discounted booze. Oh, right. So you just send an order and they deliver it to your house. Gotcha. Powerful stuff. Holy hecker.

43:14Mike Minogue:Dangerous. I got through a fair amount of it. They did a great, they actually did an American pale ale. And then they had a couple of three other standards that we loved, absolutely loved. I think the American pale ale might have been my favourite. It is bloody good drinking. And also, I don't know if they still do it, but the bottle is embossed with, like, the tail of a tuatara. Nice. That's cool. Yeah, classy. So it's like the spine down there. It is a bloody good drop.

43:41Keyzie:Do you ever – do you still do that, you guys? You know, because you can order, you know, your beersies, your wine online. Does any of you two do that? Never done it.

43:49Mike Minogue:I've thought about now, now that I'm into my reds, I've thought about maybe doing, like, some sort of wine subscription. Well, I used to be on the mailing list for Craggy Range. I used to be on their friends and family list, you see. Right, I see. And so I would order up all the Craggy Range stuff. That was good. Yeah, it is good.

44:07Keyzie:I remember once ordering 12 bottles of wine online. Getting through it by lunchtime. No, two days. Yeah, well done. Good on you, mate. And the discounts were unbelievable. And I always wanted to have those wine racks and stuff, but that was never going to work in my house. We were looking at a house the other day in Dreamland sort of styles, you know what I'm saying? Oh, yes. And as you walked in, it had like a wall behind a glass wall. Awesome. It was all your wine collection there. So just be a bottle. The wife was like, that would be no good. It's like, well, you'd have to put the lids back on.

44:41And pretend. And just put water in there. Yeah, yeah.

44:44Mike Minogue:Fill them with Ribena.

44:45Keyzie:Like I used to do with my parents' liquor cabinet. Yeah. Just fill them up with a bit of water there. They'll never know. Sweet as.

44:50Mike Minogue:Hey, see you at Bethel Woods tomorrow, 4 or 7. Thanks to the Brewery of the Day. Tuatara. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

45:02Keyzie:Rage against the machine there on the Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday night. Now, Keezy's a year older today. A year wiser, Mogey, if you will. Oh, mate, isn't he wise? I've never seen a man so wise. So I think we should give out some advice. Yeah.

45:17Mike Minogue:Be pretty, nipsy. Mogey.com. Get in touch. with the fellas. Meet PattyDips69 at gmail.com. Do get in touch if you need advice on anything. Be part of the show. It's 100 % anonymous. You can win a Reburger voucher. What? Nothing. G'day, fellas. Anonymous here. I could really use some advice. I've got myself into a bit of a situation. About six months ago, I'm really self-conscious about my reading now, and it's making me trip up more than I usually would.

45:54Keyzie:I get it, I get it.

45:56Mike Minogue:About six months ago, I started working for my girlfriend's family electrical business. Bad idea.

46:01Keyzie:Oh dear.

46:01Mike Minogue:Everything was going great. I got on well with everyone. Work was good. There were no issues. And then we had a work function. A few beers turned into a few too many and things got a bit out of hand. Before I knew it, I was hooking up with the boss's wife, who also happens to be my girlfriend's mum. In the toilet. Who hasn't been there? Well, I don't know. I don't know. Reckon? I don't know her. Oh, like in general, you mean? No, I mean her. Oh.

46:27Mike Minogue:Now I'm back at work and it's incredibly awkward because she's also the receptionist. Every day feels weird and I'm constantly worried someone's going to notice something or that the whole thing is going to come out. What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? Cheers, Anonymous. I mean, that's the dream, isn't it? Sorry, what was the problem bit? Hooking up with your girlfriend's mum. Yeah. So you're a girlfriend's mum and also you work for their company.

47:18Mike Minogue:You know what I mean in terms of. Sweet, that's great. Cheers, man.

49:27Mike Minogue:I actually said I don't think I'm going to get any better at golf. It might be back paddock. Yeah, that was something that I'm sure a lot of golfers go through where you just decide, hey, maybe it's better if I'm just back paddock. Just seriously, put me out of my misery.
