FULL SHOW: Keyzie's Final Drive Show

11:13Mike Minogue:What do you do for a crust, man?

11:14Jason Hoyte:Work for a joinery company.

11:16Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah. Dells and that. All right, Kieran, all you have to do is copy Pugs' Sting and you get 50 bucks, mate. Here you go. Here we go.

11:31Good luck. Jeez. Put the challenge up. Woo.

11:44Mike Minogue:Yeah, Karen, you nailed it, brother. It was like you played it twice, man. That was awesome, Karen. Well done. Hey, no worries. Yeah, it was awesome. Good on you, mate. Enjoy the time with your girls. Enjoy the Reburger, brother. Yeah,$100. I said$50. It's actually$100, Karen. You have a bloody good Christmas, mate. Hold the line there. I love how he didn't even say Reburger. He just went... Big fan of the show. Well, he knew you. He knew me. He listens to it, obviously. but the Reeburger brandy that just hasn't got through to him. And it was one of those ones and I know you're a stickler for this, Pugs.

12:12Yeah. But it was so bad, I think we all agreed subconsciously there's no point getting him to do it again.

12:19Jason Hoyte:Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with you. That was a really hard vox pop to get because I was in the theatre. Yeah. And I had security already on my arse because I didn't like it. Yeah, sure. And so I think that's why it wasn't so clear in The Sting.

12:32Mike Minogue:That's all right.

12:32Jason Hoyte:It's very good stuff.

12:33Mike Minogue:It's not his fault. and he now gets to eat a hundred bucks worth of re-burger which is bloody awesome hey fellas coming up next on the Horaki Big Show a best of the Big Show moment how good

12:43Jason Hoyte:the Horaki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Horaki

12:50Mike Minogue:it is Radiohead on the Horaki Big Show Thursday afternoon with Keezy, Mogi and old Pugsan and Pugs has gone deep into his stocking and pulled out a lovely audio gift for the entirety of Aotearoa you were saying Pugs

13:03Jason Hoyte:An audible lump of coal, Casey.

13:05Mike Minogue:Oh, it's a lump of coal. Yeah. You were telling me it was an amazing gift for everyone's ears.

13:09Jason Hoyte:Is that not an amazing gift? That could power a train, brother. One piece of coal. It's a very small train, Pugs. As an expert on trains, I can tell you that's not powering much.

13:17Mike Minogue:No, and he's actually an expert on miniature model trains. And miniature horses. And miniature horses as well. Probably barely enough to power one of those as well. No, I'd agree with that. But if it was compressed tightly enough, Pugs, it would become a diamond.

13:31Jason Hoyte:Which I think I've compressed the audio here enough for it to be a diamond. You know what I'm saying? Is this a best bit? Yeah. We're talking Christmas trees. When to purchase said Christmas tree. That's right. We asked people to text through on 3483. What's going on, Minogue? Boys haven't even thought about Christmas yet. God knows when I'm putting up my tree. Waste of space, in my opinion. Cheers, Tim Brown. Just on that front. Am I out of place here by saying, generally speaking, the male members of the world really can't be arsed with Christmas. I think there's something to that. They're only genuinely interested in the piss-up.

14:08Oh! And they're drinking the booze. I think there's some truth in that. Yeah, yeah. To be honest with you,

14:13Jason Hoyte:the thing I love most about Christmas is stuffing my face.

14:16Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah. Well, you do that every day at work anyway with all the snacks. Great text here. I get my Christmas tree on the 26th on sale and then get rid of it on the 27th. That's a good idea. Yeah, very good idea. That's Christmas-spirity. I like that. Yeah, totally. And you miss Christmas Day, you know? Yeah, exactly. Hey, guys, I use ragwort. Yeah, nice. I use ragwort as my Christmas tree. Use what? Ragwort. It's a weed. It's got nice yellow flowers. It is very pretty. Then when done with it, I biff it over the neighbour's fence every year, and now his two-acre block is full of them. Easy picking until next year.

14:49Mate. You see what I'm saying, man?

14:51Jason Hoyte:Yeah, that is so good, because I don't know how many literally hours and days I've spent picking ragwort. Ragwort. She spreads like an absolute bastard. It's like Didymo of the land. Yes. Rock snot. So I think the general consensus here that I'm getting from 3483 is that, Keezy, you are way over the top. What? Because I get mine December 1. And way too anal and way too controlling getting your Christmas tree on the 1st of December. Well, that's right. This one here from Sydney says, we get our real tree two weeks before Christmas any sooner than that, and it would reek and be dead before Christmas Day.

15:28Yeah, yeah. And I agree with that, yeah.

15:30Mike Minogue:It's just because they don't know how to look after their Christmas tree. How do you look after a Christmas tree? I don't know. You get the fiancé to do it. She's the one. Because she's the one that insists on getting a Christmas tree every year. And so she has to look after it. It's just a sexist nature of the way you do it. No, it's just genuinely... It really grinds my goat. It's genuinely... Yeah, I totally, mate. Totally. It really gets in my goat. It's not the same. Every year I say, I don't want a Christmas tree. But if you want one, that's fine. But you have to look after it. Because I pay me out.

15:57Say it like that, Keezy. You say it like, I don't even want a Christmas tree. Huh, huh. Or if you want one, you get it. Yeah, I do say it like that. But if you want one, you can look after it then. What a weird face that was. That's what you said about having a kid as well.

16:13Mike Minogue:Exactly. You're also saying off air there, Keezy. What?

16:20Jason Hoyte:What else did I say off air? That you bought your lovely fiancé some Christmas jammies. Oh, yeah. And she's only allowed to wear those in December. In December, yeah.

16:31Mike Minogue:When it's sexy time once a week. I didn't say that part, but that is true. I bought her some as a Christmas gift a few years back, special Christmas jammies with little Christmas trees and stuff on them, and she can only wear them in December. Is that a Keezy dictator? That is a rule I made when I bought them. It makes them more special. Are all these rules written down? Yeah, of course. How would we remember them otherwise?

16:53Jason Hoyte:Jeez, Keezy.

16:55Mike Minogue:Can I just say my wife actually loves her Christmas jammies And she loves the fact that she only wears them once a year

17:00Jason Hoyte:Yeah man Can I ask what they Is there a pattern on them?

17:04Mike Minogue:Gingerbread men Little dogs wearing Santa hats And Christmas trees Are they red? They are dark blue And they're button up and they're little shorts

17:14Jason Hoyte:Is that all one set? Is that all one set? Or are they three separate sets with those particular items on them? There's one matching set Pugsan

17:23Mike Minogue:and it comes with a hat a little Christmas hat

17:26Jason Hoyte:a pyjama hat

17:27Mike Minogue:pyjama hat which is one of the sort of Santa style with a really long thing with a bobble on the end of it they should wear that to sleep as well that's right and it also has a cape and some really high Christmas boots with buckles on them like Santa that's right and I wear a gimp mask is this Tom Petty? I might get some of those The Hauraki Big Show weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki a little bit of Tom Petty there on the Hauraki Big Show Thursday afternoon with Keezy Mogey and old Pug San. Let's talk television. What's on the telly with Mike Minogue. Yeah.

18:10Remember when we used to harmonise Pugs?

18:12Jason Hoyte:Yeah, I miss it. Those days are gone, eh? Those days are gone. Fellas, last night I watched possibly the second episode of the new Puff Daddy documentary, P. Diddy, as I like to call them, made by 50 Cent. Yes. And this one, oh, 50 there. He is not pulling any punches whatsoever. He is directly accusing Puff of being responsible for the murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.

18:40Mike Minogue:Didn't he also say that he made the Notorious B.I.G. pay for his own funeral or something? He did, he did. So what he did was, and I've got to tell you, Last night I was like, I'll just watch another, I'll watch 10 minutes of something just before I go to bed. Yes. And I ended up watching a whole episode. It is absolutely fascinating. So what he did was to make it all about himself, old P Diddy there, because you learn a lot about his personality and that's what he's all about is making everything about himself. So when Biggie dies, he goes into the press and says, we are going to throw the biggest funeral that New York has ever seen.

19:16So they do that. and he starts seeing how much it's going to cost him.

19:21Mike Minogue:Right. And so he makes it a recoupable cost, which gets charged against the sales of Biggie's record sales. And also tries to get the guy that works for him to, Biggie had just signed a new contract, so he tried to get this guy that worked for him to go in and change all the details of the contract, so not the pages that were signed, just things that didn't have a signature on it. So it would be more in favour of bad boy entertainment, and that way his wife and mother wouldn't know anything about it. So he is a real... Scumbag. It's unbelievable. And the people that they're talking to are the leaders of the Crips who protected Puff Daddy at the time.

20:06Right. Gang members, people that worked for him, ex-girl, all of these sorts of people that were right in the middle of it. So they sort of carry a fair amount of credibility.

20:16Mike Minogue:So that's the thing, right? because I'm hearing a lot. I'm seeing memes about 50 Cent getting interviewed smirking and stuff. He's loving it. And loving it. But I'm also like, is this stuff true? Yeah. Is the part... So you're saying that the people they're interviewing are pretty credible. It's really credible. I mean, you've got a guy that's the head of the crypt admitting that he killed Tupac. Because of... So they go back and they talk to this old cop who interviewed this guy. There's a guy that's going to be charged with a murder and goes up for trial in 2026. So, yeah, it's absolutely amazing.

20:49I couldn't really be bothered with it to begin with, but now watching it, it is phenomenal. And we haven't even got... He's killing people. We haven't even got to the bad shit yet. Yeah, right. This is the other thing. Do you know what I mean? This is the entree. Unreal. Holy moly. Four buzzies. In a depressing, horrible, bleak way.

21:12Jason Hoyte:Yeah, right. And that's on Netflix. Netflix. I'd like to give it a go, actually. Yeah. Very important for, I guess, the biggest part of hip-hop history, isn't it? Yes. I have been watching a TV show called It, Welcome to Derry on Neon. Now, I am a huge fan of the 2017 remake of It, starring, is it Bill? Bill Hader. Oh, yeah. As the titular character, Bill Hader in the sequel to that. Sequel, yes. It was like, it wasn't like a fantastic film or anything, but it was a cool movie. It was really well made. They have really good scares, if you like, horror, and really creative body horror and stuff like that.

21:48Jason Hoyte:Andy Machete was the director of that, and he's in charge of this as well, Welcome to Derry, which is a, I guess, a prequel as it stands at the moment to that. It's set way back in the day, maybe I'm going to guess 50s and stuff, and it's basically about the legend of it as a celestial entity, like an alien, rather than just a creepy clown. Yeah. So it delves into that, and it's got a whole bunch of great actors in it that I can't name. But I didn't love it at first. I got four episodes in and now it's starting to kick off. So I think you would probably lose patience because the episodes are like an hour long.

22:24Jason Hoyte:They're like an hour long. And so you're not going to sit through four of those and then go, holy shit, it's actually going great. But I'm loving it. So I'm loving it. I'd give it a good three buzzies. Is it the clown, an alien? Well, yeah. Right, okay. A celestial entity. It's worse than that. Oh, God. It's very convoluted. It's worse than that. It's a Stephen King creature. So in the book, Pennywise the Clown is... The Cow. Yeah, Pennywise the Cow. So Pennywise the Clown is a beast that's created by the alien. Now, when you read the book, you read this book, the book is unbelievable. And I've always said this about Stephen King.

23:00It's like he's got X amount of pieces of paper in front of him. Yes. And he writes the most amazing stories. And then he goes, Oh, I've only got two pieces of paper left.

23:08Mike Minogue:Right. Ah, what's my ending? and then in It he goes, oh, it's a giant spider. So literally in the book It, the kids track down, they go into this cave and it's a giant spider. And you're just like, well, I've just read 400 pages. That sucks. This is going good though. Yeah, I've heard very good things. So I might even give it a go. Far out. Can't believe it was a cow the whole time. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. That's right. It is the Horaki Big Show for Thursday the 18th of December with Keezy Mogi and Pug-san. And as always, it is brought to you by Reburger. Crowberry Street Food, freshly made with Reburger.

Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. She had on the Hauraki Big Show Thursday afternoon with Keezy, Mogi and Pugs. It's time for New Year's resolutions, fellas. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's that time of year again. Normally, you know, I wouldn't really start thinking about it until about 6 a.m. on the 1st of January, 2026. but I'm already thinking about my New Year's resolutions for next year now because I think I'm really determined.

26:39Mike Minogue:Okay, can I guess what one of yours might be? Yeah. I've only really got one because everything else is so great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, a couple. Okay. Okay, I've got a few. Okay. I reckon he's got about seven. Okay, I reckon one of yours is Give Up Darts. That's at number one.

26:57Jason Hoyte:If I recall correctly, that was one of yours from this year as well. Not this year, it was the year before. Oh, no, this year was booze. This year was going harder. This year was booze. This year was booze. Harder on the darts.

27:08Mike Minogue:Ah, I see what you're saying. Is another one of your resolutions give up booze? No. Booze. No, no, well, that might go hand in hand. But yeah, man, I'm beginning to think I'm addicted. To darts? To ciggies. You're joking. Are you sure? I'm seeing a pattern emerge where every day I smoke cigarettes. Yeah, right. That could be seen as addiction. Yes. And do you ever feel like not smoking darts? Yes. Okay. And then I smoke them. Ah, yeah. And that's, I think, the sign of the addiction. That sounds right. But I am over it. Like, I'm 49, coming on 50. I started smoking when I was probably 16. Wow. Feels like it's been long enough.

27:48Yeah. You know what I mean? I've had a good knock at it. Do I really think I'm going to be the one person, you know, that person that you're about that manages to dodge cancer and live until they're 100? Yeah. Am I that guy based on the fact that I've got bad eyes or blind eye, bad kidneys, all these other issues wrong with me? I've got bad, bad, bad DNA and genes. Feels like it's probably the time to give it up. But how am I going to do it?

28:14Mike Minogue:Well, to be honest, Mo, this is like the fifth time you've given up darts. It is. You know what I mean? On the show. Exactly. I've got a post on my Instagram of me celebrating my last cigarette. When was that? 2018. But doesn't that show you how addictive and magnificent Those little bastards are It's right in me But I'm at a point now where I'm like Man they have got to go Yeah They've got to go But I just don't know how to do it Well it's tough I mean you can talk to Hoardy J about it That's a good idea He's good at that Jump on the vape You just vape constantly I mean me and him actually gave up for a year Can you remember that?

28:51We gave up for a year and then we started again

28:53Mike Minogue:You did And I remember Because after a year he was like I have nothing fun left in my life. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't go out. All I do is sit at home eating sticky-dick puddings. So I think that's why he started vaping or whatever. I can't remember what your reason was. He had some stresses in his life. Well, I think for me was after X amount of months, I then jumped on the vape because I went back to Levin for a 40th. I was like, I've got to get on something. So I jumped on the vape, and the vape was more addictive than the smoking. And then to get off the vape. You started smoking.

29:24I got on the darts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. But it's got to go. 50 bucks a pack

29:28Mike Minogue:well to be honest man I as always I fully support you I fully support Hoardy J in fact my wish for him next year is that he does give up the vape because I've seen you guys do it for like a whole year it was great yes he was irritable to begin with yes but that's fun it is fun isn't it it's great content it is he's so cute when he's angry yeah he's like muttly he is so I guess any advice that we could get on 3483 about how I could possibly give up and stick with it. There's a book that you read, there's patches, Hoity J's got the gum, but he does all of those things and still consumes nicotine.

30:04Mike Minogue:Well, that's the thing. He just ends up getting more nicotine from various different places. Everyone that texted through last time, Mogey, give up, maybe copy and paste those same texts, send them through on 3483. Show a backbone. That's probably going to be number one. Yeah, show a backbone. Yeah. Oh, is this Nirvana? Have you got a resolution, Pugs? I got a few. Have you? Yeah. We'll get into that after a couple of tunes, eh? The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. Take on The Hauraki Big Show. Thursday afternoon with Keezy Mogey and Pugsans. We're talking New Year's resolutions.

30:37Mike Minogue:Mogey's was to give up the darts. I'm back on them, fellas. Right, but it hasn't even hit 2026 yet. I was just thinking about it during the songs, and I was like, what kind of a loser quit smoking? You know what I mean? Yeah, right, okay. I feel like it's the sort of thing, because I'm 49 now, I'll smoke till I'm 50. Oh, okay, yeah. So just one more year and then I'll quit. Can I just say I'm really proud of you for giving up darts for that seven-minute two-song sweep there. That was great. Thanks, man. All you've got to do is just, you know. Kia kaha. Thank you. My New Year's resolution, I've been thinking about this there, feelers.

31:10Mike Minogue:I've actually got two. One of them is to stop bringing home hats. Oh. Because I keep bringing home hats. Yeah. This feels like a direct sort of. No, because Pugs gave me a hat in Secret Santa. Yeah, it was a shit. And I didn't take it home. And that was my first hat I've turned down. No, no. My wife sat me down the other day, got all of my hats out and put them on the spare bed and said, what are we doing with all these hats? I have like 50-something hats. I wear two. I wear two hats. And then I came in from Chasing the Fox the other day and I had two hats in my bag. And she's like, what are these hats?

31:45Especially one of them being for a credit card company.

31:50Mike Minogue:Well, the American Express. Exactly. You're not going to wear that. And I brought that home anyway. I brought home a bucket hat, a white golf bucket hat, which I was like, oh, that's pretty cool. And I'm like, well, actually, no, I'm not going to. I put it on. I look like a goose. They're so free, aren't they? They are so free. And so my resolution is just to not, because you end up in this job, you go and do little events and stuff, and you end up with all this free stuff. It's always hats. Pugs, you'd be happy to know the hat you gave me. I thought about it. I've taken it home. I tried it on in the mirror three different ways.

32:16Mike Minogue:It does not suit me.

32:17Jason Hoyte:No.

32:17Mike Minogue:But I will keep that hat. You know what? At least you gave enough of a shit to try, man. Yeah, 100%. I'm happy about it. 100%. So I just, that's, is that a good enough resolution? I think it is good. That's fine.

32:28Jason Hoyte:It's whatever you want it to be, man. It's whatever you want to achieve. Yeah? Yeah. What about you, Pugs, then? I've got three. You're going to stop giving people shit hats. Yes. Maybe you made that resolution last year, and all this year, you've been giving away all your shit hats to other people. And then getting offended when they don't take them. I've ended up with more hats than ever before this year. I've got three, but I'll blast through them. The first one is the same as one I had last year, which was to read more books. Is it quantifiable? Quantifiably, I've read more books than last year, even though that's like two, maybe three.

33:01Mike Minogue:So you've read three books this year? Yeah.

33:02Jason Hoyte:That's better than me. So I want to pump that up next year, maybe go for five. Good on you, mate. It's all progress, isn't it? The other one is to run 8Ks nonstop. Hell yeah, baby. Because the furthest I've gone is four. Yes. So I'm like, if I can do that in the second half of this year, I reckon I can double it. Yep. It'll be bloody hard. But I wanted to be attainable, but hard. Sure. And the final one is to book another international trip. So I've booked one for next year. And so I want to get that bug and come out the back end of that and go straight in towards working towards the next one.

33:34Jason Hoyte:Yeah, boy. And get a ball rolling.

33:36Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. Okay. Is that pretty good? I think those are good resolutions. I think read more books needs to be quantifiable. Okay. So you think - Like five was good. Okay. Yeah, we'll make it five. Let's make it five. Yeah, yeah. Run 8K, I think that's great. Thanks. And book an international trip, man. I love it. Sounds good. Could I hold you to it all, of course? Yeah, 100%. What's mine again? Oh, I haven't got one anymore. How do you do it? Nah. I've got a year old. World's your oyster. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. Queens of the Stone Age on the Hauraki Big Show.

34:05Mike Minogue:Thursday afternoon with Keezy, Mogi and Pugsan. It's time for Mogi's Top Fives. Douche, douche, douche. This week we have done top fives on movies, on TV shows, on podcasts, and today we're doing food. This is our top five food items of 2025. Oh, yeah. For me at number five, obviously, let me just say that Reeburg is number one. Okay. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings around that. Is it? Because I've just got Reeburger one to five. Yeah, that's right. So if we take that and then put it to the side and then go with some other suggestions. Otherwise it's going to be a bit boring for people.

34:44Yeah, true. Number five is Indian food. As a whole. Indian food. Indian cuisine, yeah. Yes.

34:49Mike Minogue:So you've been eating a lot of it this year. I always eat a lot of it. It's probably my favourite cuisine. I will be honest and say that I don't know of a great, great one in Auckland that is my absolute go-to. Right. So every time I order, I'm sort of still, I've not got my just one go-to, this is amazing. Yeah, you're still searching. Which is not great considering how long I've been here. But one of the issues I have is I will not go to an Indian restaurant that charges you separately for rice. I will not do it. I agree with that. $6,$5 for rice is bullshit. You can have it. And I also hate a$6 can of Coke.

35:31Right. I hate that. So I'm just putting that out there. Totally valid. Been having a lot more Thai this year. Thai is number four. My red curries, my green curries, Thai, isn't it number four? Penang. Number three, one of my favourite meals of the week is every Sunday we have croissants and coffee with the paper. Sunday morning, first thing in the morning, my daughter has a pan au chocolat, I have a croissant. That's a favourite, it's just a great time of the week for old mogi. Cute. Number two is I've found a spicy noodle joint and I absolutely froth it. Yeah. Had everything on the menu. I go and eat there as well, as opposed to just getting takeaways.

36:12Love it. Love it. I love it more than my wife, so I sneak into the restaurant and eat it without her knowing.

36:17Mike Minogue:When you say that, you love it more than you love your wife. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Right, okay. That's a long list. Yeah, yeah, true. That's pretty much, you know. I love Pugs' hat more. Really? That one? Number one, and no surprises here, desiccated chicken. Oh, yum. It's just my go-to. Yeah, you bring it in. It looks dry. You microwave it. A little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No salt, no pepper, because you get your salt in your soy sauce. You don't want to ruin it. Too many calories. Don't want to ruin it. That's right. So that's my number one.

36:46Mike Minogue:Wow, so your number one meal of the entire year is some dry chicken. Desiccated chicken with a bit of rice. And no greens for maximum scurvy. Yeah, good stuff. Was scurvy this year? No, that was last year. That was out in the cage. Time flies. Wasn't it syphilis this year? Oh, no, it was gone. That's right. That's right. A bit of Iggy Pop for you now. and coming up shortly on The Big Show, Pugsan and I will have our top five meals of 2025.

37:11Jason Hoyte:Yeah. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

Very, very exciting. Yes. Also, fellas, another best of The Big Show moment and I think we should start doing a little bit of prep for tomorrow's Big Show breakfast show that we'll be hosting. It's a big day, man. It's a bloody exciting day. So, yeah, my dream was that we'd come in here at 4 o 'clock in the morning and really bang out some top-quality content, but why don't we just plan it now, and then it works as content here, and then again it works as content tomorrow.

37:50Mike Minogue:Plan it on the radio. Yeah, you're a genius, Keezy. Yeah, thank you. It's all about maximising content. That's all coming up after 6 o 'clock. Yeah!

38:00Jason Hoyte:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

38:06Mike Minogue:It's a massive show, right? It's the Hauraki Big Show for Thursday the 18th of December and it is, of course, brought to you by Reburger. Handcrafted burgers, loaded fries and gourmet fries.

38:17Jason Hoyte:Yum! And gourmet eats that'll change the game.

38:25What?

38:29Jason Hoyte:What the heck? I was dreaming about Reburger. Oh, my God. It was so crave-worthy, but it was gourmet, and it was street food. Yum.

38:42Mike Minogue:So yum. I've been there, man, when you're just sort of asleep and you wake up dreaming of yogurt fries, Mooggy. Have you ever had yogurt fries? I have never had a yogurt fry. It's something that Reburger does. I've only just found out about it, to be honest. Yeah, really? Because I know that dipping your fries in a sundae is something that people do. That's good. Is it? I hate it. Yeah, no, it's good. Or a milkshake. Dipping your ice cream in milkshake. It's not something I'd go out and buy it and do it, but I wouldn't not do it if both of those things were sitting there. Yeah, right. You know what I mean?

39:12Mike Minogue:Are you a dip the head of your popcorn? The head of my what? The head of your ice cream in popcorn? Do you put the head of your ice cream into your popcorn? Yeah, I do. Because I've seen people do that. Yeah, same. No, but I have, though. I do it all the time. Moggy. What? Hang on here, Pugs. Hey. When you're eating an ice cream at the theatre, do you bite the top of it off? Does it have to be a melting ice cream? Preferably you eat it before it melts. And you dip it in the popcorn. Can you go further than the head of the ice cream? Sure, if you want it to run right down the hole. I mean, it's up to you how much popcorn you want on it.

39:51Mike Minogue:I like a lot of popcorn. Okay, so I'll put you down as a yes, you do like that, Pugs. And Moggy? I think I do. good stuff coming up next on the Hauraki Big Show Pug-san and Keezy's top five foods for 2025 God can you put dipping ice cream into your popcorn on that list dipping the head of your ice cream yeah melted ice cream yeah yeah cool God Jets good The Hauraki Big Show weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki Pearl Jam on the Hauraki Big Show Thursday evening Keezy, Mogi and Pug-san. It's time for Mogi's Top Fives. Douche to douche. Douche to douche. I've already done my one. Today it's food. We've done movies, TV shows and podcasts this week.

40:42Now the fellows are up.

40:43Mike Minogue:That's right. So our top five foods of 2025. Pugs, obviously Reburger, number one through five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we've made a rule, no Reburger. Number five for me in 2025 is a delicious chicken curry laksa, which is Malaysian, one of my favourite cuisines. It is delicious curry sauce with noodles in it, chicken, and a boiled egg. It's so good. Yeah. Hangover cure. Number four, half-priced sushi, which we eat more than anything else. Chips should be on here as well. Chips should be on there, yeah. Yeah. Because there's a sushi joint just down the road from us here, and at 3.30 every day just before the show, it does go half-priced.

41:21Mike Minogue:Yes. And me and Moggy usually will go down there and just rate it. Yes. Number three, homemade peachy pasta. I love it. We brought home a whole lot of peachy pasta from Italy when we went at the start of the year. What's the spelling? P-I-C-I. Thank you. It's my favorite style of pasta. We brought home a few freeze-dried bags of it, and we don't home-make the pasta itself because it's quite hard to make, but we home-make the cacio e pepe cheese and black peppercorn sauce. It is delicious. That sounds good. It is. It's bloody good. Black peppercorn. I like that. Yeah, you put it in your mortar and pestle there and you squish it all up and you fang it in there with your parma reggiano.

42:01How about get that recipe off you?

42:02Mike Minogue:Yeah, 100%. Thank you. It's delicious. Number two, same spicy noodle joint that Moggy likes. I also like. Ah, yes. I have one dish that I get and I only get that dish because I've found the one I like and I love it with wide noodles. Hot spicy. The number one meal of 2025, it's something my wife and I are very passionate about. In fact, when we've got a special night just to ourselves, we'll quite often go and buy ingredients for this from your local market or from a fancy supermarket. Frozen pizza. Frozen Hawaiian pizza. No. It is heirloom tomatoes, stracciatella cheese, a bit of honey, some nice olive oil, salt on some delicious fresh bread.

42:40Mike Minogue:Fresh basil on there, Eva? A bit of basil sometimes, yeah. Yeah, 100%.

42:44Jason Hoyte:Those heirloom tomatoes are out-the-gate expensive. I've always wanted to buy one, and literally every time I go to do it, I'm like, I can't. You should put it on your New Year's Eve resolutions, man. See if you can't get yourself an heirloom tomato. Buy one heirloom tomato.

42:57Mike Minogue:Well, to be honest, the reason I've even got them is because my parents left them to me. They're like a family heirloom. Tomato.

43:07Jason Hoyte:Pugs, what's on your top fives, man? Here we go, fellas. We're going to roll through them. For food for me, top five 2025 at number five, unpasteurized French brie cheese. You've spoken about that before. You ever heard that? I've not seen it. Holy shit. Is it good, is it? Where do you get it? France? Any sort of deli or like fancy grocer. Fancy grocery. Generally have that in their cheek. Yeah. Sure. Lock it in. So that's delicious. Great on any cheese board. Melts right into your mouth, fellas. Right. That's probably the reason I smell like cheese. Number four is peachy pasta from me and my partner's favorite pasta restaurant.

43:49Jason Hoyte:What's that called? The restaurant Yeah Well it's not Rebeck It's not the same restaurant

43:56Mike Minogue:That I told you to go to The one that specialises in that

And it was unbelievable. Is she going to make it again? Whipped feta and hot honey. It's just like, oh, so good.

44:25Mike Minogue:I hope so. Number two. I would say if I had to describe you guys as a food pugs, you and your partner.

44:32Jason Hoyte:I'd be whipped feta and she'd be hot honey. Nah, you're all G, brother. So good. She'd actually love to hear that. I'll let her know for you. Number two. Dumplings and spicy and sour sauce. Hey, here he is. From said restaurant that you guys like to go to.

45:18Jason Hoyte:That's how good it is. I heard she was saying, where's the effing mould? The Horaki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Horaki.

45:31Mike Minogue:Muse on the Horaki Big Show Thursday evening with Keezy, Mogi and old Pug-san. And fellas, next year, Friday the 16th of January will be the Big Show's official first show back. Yes. It is random to be starting on Friday, but the reason is that the 17th is the Black Clash happening in Tauranga at the beautiful Bay Oval there. So on the Friday beforehand, we are going back to one of our old haunts. It is Mount Bruko, Mount Maunganui Bruko. We're going to be doing a live show, 4 p.m. till 7. All of us will be there warming up for the Black Clash, which is the next day. So if you are planning on making a trip to the Black Clash, come the Friday, come see the live show.

46:09Mike Minogue:First hundred through the door, get a free Backbone shirt. There'll be all sorts of deals and bar tabs be given away as well. So put it in your diary Friday the 16th of Jan. First big show back at Brewco, Mount Maunganui. Tomorrow. Yes. Breakfast. Yes. I'm officially in. I'm helping. It's the three of us. Fellas, what are we doing? What's the plan? Well, what do you start off with? I guess the obvious thing to lead with would be, go out. It's early. Yeah, a bit of early morning chat. Yeah, early morning chat. Go out. Don't normally do this, et cetera, et cetera.

46:39Jason Hoyte:I'm quite tired. I didn't sleep so well thinking about getting up early. That's right. So top of the hour, we're here. Surprise. Yep, okay. Surprise, we're here.

46:48Mike Minogue:Well, the big show's here. First break after top of, we'd be going with, God, sleepy, et cetera, et cetera. Right. The next break, I think we'd probably want to go with something along the lines of, we hate the guys from breakfast. Okay. Oh. Yeah. Because I was thinking of getting into that the first break, but we can put it off one. That's a good call because I think sleepy chat's good. Yes. Because it's like, surprise, we're here, whoa, early. And then the next one's like, man, I'm sleepy. That's right. And if we're going out 3483, are you sleepy as well? Yeah, okay. Because other people that are up at that time of day will either be A, sleepy, or B, willing to call us soft-ons for being sleepy.

47:28And then we can read that. That's right.

47:30Mike Minogue:And then obviously the next break after that, slag off the breakfast, guys. Yes. Right. I reckon that's two breaks. You reckon that's a two break? I think we'll get two breaks.

47:38Jason Hoyte:We could do one break there and revisit it in a later hour as well. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Some people out the content. Yeah, we could take phone calls on that, text messages, have guests about it. This is your chance to slag off Jerry and Mania. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

47:51Mike Minogue:And Ruda. And Ruda and Zoe as well. Yeah, especially Ruda. So that's what we'll do in that third break there. In the fourth break, I was thinking about doing, oh, hey, guys, I'm kind of used to being sleepy now. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? Sort of even it out. It's plateaued the sleepiness. That's right. Instant coffee update? Well, I think instant coffee update I'll do about 7.10. I think I'll have an instant coffee. So that break will be very much, man, I'm sleepy, but I hope this helps. Yes. And then at about 7.25, I think I'll do a sort of, wow, that coffee really woke me up, but I'm going to pay for this later.

48:22That's right. And I think something after eight as well, where it is how many coffees have you had? How many coffees is too many? Should I have been drinking water? Three for eight, three.

48:31Mike Minogue:Yeah, okay. Maybe at the one, just quarter past eight, that's prime time. Yeah. I think we do something about what cheese Pugs smells like. Well, I was thinking that we could be doing something first, Shat Chat. Oh, straight off the bat. Yeah, bring Shat Chat back because we haven't done that for a while. So a few old hits from the big show. Okay, all right. And then because Pugs reeks of cheese, we could bring that chat up. That would be a show meeting where we talk to Pugs about the fact he reeks of cheese and what they're going to do about it.

49:02Jason Hoyte:A personal hygiene sort of chitty chat about my cheese smell. That's right. Right, okay.

49:07Mike Minogue:Okay, so I'll put that there. Right, and then to be honest, once we've done Breakfast Mastermind, it's pretty much the show done and dusted. Perfect. Oh, I wouldn't mind putting a side break to slag Jase off. Oh, yeah, absolutely. For backing out of a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll do that as well. Maybe a couple. Maybe we'll call him. We should ring him, I was going to say. That's a good idea. Yeah, okay, let's do that. All right, fellas. And then you just package it up, Pugs, and send it off to the Radio Awards. Yeah, can do, yeah. And that's a slam dunk. Breakfast is easy Is this Blind melon?

49:39Mike Minogue:Isn't it Dope Lemon? No it is It's Blind melon Yeah
