FULL SHOW: Led Astray

14:34Jase:Fellas, I think I might be losing my mind. Not unlike you, Hoity J. Yes. You were a bit concerned about it a couple of days ago, but I've found myself being a little bit absent-minded. Oh, wow. For example, today I was at my office. I walked out to the car and went to get in the car and I realised I was carrying a glass of water. A glass of water. Did you want to drink it in the car or no? No, I guess I must have. My old brain was like, oh, I'm still thirsty. I'm going to take this to the car. I'm going to take it with me to the car. So then I had to walk all the way back to the office and drop that back in there.

15:06Jase:Yeah. A couple of days ago, I walked out to the car carrying a bowl of porridge. Right. Did you want to eat that in the car? Well, again, it's something that should have been left behind. Right. Do you know what I mean? That is weird. It is odd. And so I'm concerned that it might be early onset dementia. Right. Because it's the sort of thing that you could see an old timer doing in a dressing gown. You know, the dressing gown, slightly open, kesey. Yeah. Beautiful downstairs, visible to the whole neighbourhood. Doesn't have any undies on. Heavy bush. Surely they'd have underpants on at this point.

15:41Jase:No, he's so absent-minded that he doesn't wear underpants. Oh, wow. Yeah. Can I? Is this like you must? Surely. Jase, make me feel better. Surely this is something that you do. Are you sure?

15:52Keyzie:I'm nowhere near that bad. But hang on, you've left the house in that shirt, man. Yeah, well, that's true. But that was deliberate, Keezy. Oh, was it? Because it looks cool. I look like a mob boss. what I do do quite a lot of is I walk into a room and this sounds like I'm a madman and I'll be standing in the middle of the room and I'll say to myself what am I doing? What am I doing here? Why did I come in here? What am I doing? And then I'll wander back out again with my dressing gown open and my massive downstairs scraper.

16:23Jase:I mean I say that Jase I walk into a room and say what am I doing? I say it so often that my wife bought me a T-shirt with that written on it. Right, okay, yes. What am I doing?

16:35Keyzie:What am I doing again? And what I find too is I have good days and bad days, which is another sign. I have days when I'm just appalling. And keys, phones, glasses are just all over the place. And I spend half an hour searching for one of those things. Yes. You know what I mean? And then I find them and then it's like, oh, what have I done with my, and my wife is like, what are you doing? Yeah. Well, the only, obviously I'm a lot younger than you guys. A lot. Like way younger. But the only one I do, which I've done a couple of times, which I don't think is too bad, is when I'm watching TV and I'll be making a cup of tea, for example, a cup of sleepy tea mogy, which you got me onto.

17:18Jase:Yes. Herbal. Very good. The chamomile. Yeah, chamomile tea, yeah. And I'll be like, oh, that's been mashing for five minutes now. I'll go grab that. And I'll walk up and instead of grabbing my phone, I've grabbed the TV remote. And I'm just like, and I'm like, go to look at my phone. It's just the TV remote. And I'm like, oh, that's not my phone. Jesus, that's shocking. That's really bad, Keezy. Well, no, it's not that bad.

17:38Keyzie:That is. Oh. That's not good at all. Have you thought of getting checked up or anything?

17:43Jase:Yeah, man.

17:44Keyzie:Seriously, man, you need to go and have a checkup. That worries me. I'm concerned for you, Keezy.

17:49Jase:That's mental, eh? Well, that is out the gate. I mean, I was slightly concerned about Mogi.

17:56Keyzie:but now that you've said that, I mean, I'm going...

17:59Jase:Keezer, you can't look at a remote control and send text messages, man, or see if you... That's not what I did. It's a TV remote.

18:04Keyzie:That's not what I did. And then you're probably sitting on the couch fretting because no one's replied. I didn't... Yeah, that is what I did, fellas. I tried to call my mum on it. How'd that go? Shit, Wellington Paranormal came on instead. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. Yes, indeed. Royal blood there on the Radio Hauraki. Big show this Thursday afternoon. The time is 4.54. Let's talk TV. What's on the telly with Mike Minogue?

18:42Keyzie:Oh, yeah. Yeah.

18:45Jase:Last night, fellas, I didn't watch any TV. I watched a play. Yes. Remember plays, Jason? I do. I do. You used to tread the boards a little bit, didn't you? I did it back in the day, for sure. Oh, Captain, what was your name? Oh, Captain Andy. There he is. That was school. That was in the school times. You're amazing, mate. Thanks, man. I went and saw The Dry House at Basement Theatre, directed by Isla MacLeod, starring Alison Bruce, Beatrice Romilly and Zoe Crane. It's about a couple of sisters. One of them's a shocking bastard. Right, okay. She's on the hammer all the time. Oh, sick. And the other sister is just trying to get her to go into rehab.

19:26Jase:Oh. But the first sister there, the shocking bastard, she's saying, look, can you just grab us a few beers? Responsibly. Just a few beers just to settle my nerves, and then I'll go to rehab. And the other sister's like, yeah, righto. And then the other sister there, that shocking bastard, she's like, I'll tell you what would really help me out. Those beers haven't touched a side. If you could just get me a little hip flask of vodka. Yeah, right. It'll just straighten me out, and then I'll be all good. We're going to get along to this rehab. So it's a pretty dark yarn. It's from an Irish playwright.

20:03Jase:It's a pretty new play. And the woman who's a bit of a – well, she's a shock and alcoholic. Her daughter dies in a car crash, and it's her dealing with all of that, and then this other sister trying to put it right. A few things reveal themselves as it goes along. Really, really well acted. Ellie Brute is, of course, a legend in New Zealand. and the other two actresses are amazing as well. It's on at the basement for the next couple of weeks. I'm going to go again and see how it settles in, but it got a standing ovation. Oh, how good. Standing ovation for about an hour. Wow. That's way too long.

20:37Jase:That's a long standing ovation. I'll be honest with you, I left when the standing ovation was on. I was like, I've got to go to the toilet. Yeah, I've got to do wheeze. Controversial opinion. What was it called again? The dry house. So she's got to go to the dry house. Dry house is sort of an Irish term for rehab. For rehab, yeah. And how many buzzies out of five? I would give it three and a half buzzies out of five. Yeah, right. See, just quickly, controversial opinion maybe, I've never seen a good play. Oh, I've definitely seen great plays. I would say, though, the experience of going to a play is always for me, it's got to be, unless some bastard's talking, which I cannot, I'll fire up about that, but it's always a four and a half star to five star experience.

21:13Jase:Going and seeing all the people there, sharing a live experience like that, being in a room with people who are completely still and quiet, watching something and seeing artists perform in that way, I absolutely love it. You never know what the material is going to be. The acting was five stars, four and a half, five stars. The material... Brought it down to three and a half. Yeah, I think so.

21:34Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so my wife went to the same play last night, and she enjoyed it. She was great.

21:39Jase:I actually saw her, and she did say hello to me. Did she not? That's true. I was in the bathroom. They have unisex toilets there. She walked in, she saw me, and then she just did it. A beeline straight into one of the cubicles, didn't say hello. I was like, that can't have been Jase's missus. And it was. Right. And it was. And I thought, you shocking bastard. I'm going to have a word with her about that. And then I was outside and she came behind me and then she did that thing where you knocked the knees in. Oh, really? Yeah, and she did that to me. And you collapsed. And I fell over and broke my leg.

22:09Jase:Oh, wow. She's a shocking bastard.

22:10Keyzie:I bet she didn't give you a lift home either. Just very quickly, I was alluding lines, but in between that, watching the T20 cricket, I've lost my passion for the game, fellas. Too much of it. It means nothing to me. There's no drama to it anymore. One buzzy. Yeah. One buzzy out of five? Yes. For the cricket? Yes. How'd your line learning go? Pretty good. I nailed it. Oh, you're the man, Jase. Hey, coming up after five, Jase needs counselling and my wife plays a hilarious prank on me. The Hauraki Beat Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Welcome back, you massive backbones.

22:48Keyzie:Hope your Thursday's absolutely going off. You're listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburgier. Beef, chicken, vegan and vegetarian options to Reburgier, redefining the norm. Yum. Yum. I kind of wish you'd play the longer ones, Keezy. Oh, really? Are you just taking management advice here? No, I can do that for you. Oh, we don't have... Best Reburgier I've ever had. Come and try this. Come and try this. What is it? Have you heard this before?

23:18Jase:Oh, my God. It's Reburger. This is... What was it called? Oh, God. It's Reburger.

23:24Keyzie:Oh, my God. Reburger. Reburger. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And I don't know if we've sent those off to the Reburger fellas yet. No, we have. Oh, we have. And we packaged them up, the whole lot of them. In a private bag. Oh, fantastic. So, Pugs put them onto separate USB sticks, put them in a shoebox filled with that packing foam stuff. Oh, yes. and then had a couriered same-day delivery over to the Reburger Philz. They took them all out, listened to them all, and they've asked us to stop. Yeah. They hate them. Oh, right, okay. Oh, that's a shame. They're my favourite things about the show at the moment.

23:59And they literally said, if you play another one of those long ones, that's it. We're done here. Right, okay. And I've just done that as per Jase's request, so it's kind of a sticky situation. Yeah.

24:07Keyzie:Yeah, well, just blame me, fellas. Everyone always does. Oh, do they? Hey, now, listen. What? I want to talk about something next, which is slightly controversial, but is a phenomenon that I've noticed in packs of males. But in the meantime, here's the Arctic monkey. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. Velvet revolver there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Thursday afternoon. The time is 13 minutes past five o 'clock. And I wanted to chat to you fellas about a phenomenon that I've noticed, and I've noticed over a number of years. And I wanted to get your thoughts on it.

24:44Keyzie:You know, when you sort of leave school and you've got your pack of mates. Yeah. You know what I mean? And you play sport together. You go out together. You party together. You get on it together. You might even flat together. You might even flat together. Yes, often the case. You're flat with your mates. And you're a real posse. You know, you're a real group. Kind of like the big show, I suppose. Are we a posse? Yeah, we're like a posse. I reckon we're a posse. I love a posse. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, right, one of the posse falls in love. They find a girl or a partner or another partner, and all of a sudden they leave the pack.

25:26Keyzie:And all of a sudden you don't see them anymore. And then when you do see them, they're kind of changed and they're different people. They've come under the spell of the person that they've fallen in love with. Right. And you sort of ring them up and go, hey, buddy, what's going on? You want to go, oh, no, I'm just, we're going out to, you know, blah, blah, blah for dinner and stuff. And you're, oh, okay. And then they just slowly dissipate away. You know, and I wonder, you know, these packs of friends that we have, are they just holding patterns for us till we find a mate? And I don't want to talk about, you know, that anything like that's happening to the big show at the moment.

26:06Keyzie:But you know what I'm talking about? Do you understand what I'm saying here?

26:09Jase:Yeah, I absolutely do. I had a mate, and this isn't, I don't think this is strictly after you leave school. I had a mate at school called Tyron. Best mates we were, thick as thieves. Hang around every day after school, skateboarding, all that sort of stuff. He got a missus gone. Yes. Didn't see him, without a word of a lie pretty much, for a year. And then they break up and then he turns back up on your doorstep. Hey man, how's it going? It's like, who are you? And also the worst part is, what do you want? The worst part is though, shows up. I bet you guys straight away you're like, oh, he is great though.

26:38We do get on really good.

26:39Jase:Oh, yeah. I mean, I was a little bit. Well, when you've never experienced it before, Keezy, that's the difference. That was the first time. I was like, can you just do that? Can you just ditch your mates for a girl? Yeah. And, of course, yeah, that's the best reason to ditch your mates. It's kind of gross, isn't it?

26:54Keyzie:But I've got to be honest and put my hand up here and say I was desperately guilty of it. Oh, you're a shocker. You reek of someone who would always do that. Yes. You know, and I had a. Yes. I had a lot of friends. Oh, wow. Really? I was a popular guy, man.

27:10Jase:Yeah, I mean, Hoity J ain't number one best in the world without a doubt.

27:14Keyzie:Back in the day, and then I met a girl and everything changed. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I never saw my mates anymore. They were like, where are you now, man? What's going on, Hoity J? And then when I came back, they were like, you've changed, man. Yeah. You've got four kids, man. The thing is, though, that person's job, right, you're like really good friends, right, but it's not their job to be there for you the exact way they are for all time, right? They want to find a partner. They want to have their family eventually, blah, blah, blah, blah, and if they do change, hopefully it's for the better.

27:48But there's always like a bit there at the start where they do just go missing off the face of the earth. Like my wife I've been with for like 14 years. I'm pretty sure I wasn't too bad, but I also think I probably was. Of course you just don't. You jump right in.

28:04Jase:Yeah, well, you do, don't you?

28:05Keyzie:And the question sort of is, when that happens and they come crawling back to you, do you accept them back into the fold? 100 % you do. Into the posse? 100 % you do. Otherwise, it's you being a jealous little bee. You know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, I think, especially in my situation, you need time with your partner. You also need a lot of time with your mates too. And you can't get everything from one person. I think so as well.

28:27Jase:And I think you do welcome them back in. But I think you need to sort of raise it. because it is a weird thing to completely ditch your mates, I think, for an extended period of time. And that's what I'm doing. I'm not talking about people that, oh, you see them every now and again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there are people that you just, they are gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they just turn back up again. So hang on, man. I'm not here for you to say. Don't use me. Exactly. I'm not here just whenever you haven't got something better going on, you're going to come back to me and we can spend some time.

28:53Jase:Exactly. Yeah.

28:55Keyzie:I've got to be honest with you, fellas. I want to put my hand up here and say I far prefer the company of my girlfriend than my filthy mates. Have you got a girlfriend? Yeah, what about your wife, man? Are you having a fear? She's going to be a few. You're a shocking bastard. Damn it, did I say that out loud? 3483, what's your take on this? Do you know anyone that's done this? You can also call us on 0800-HAURAKI if you like Reburger vouchers. Here's Led Zeppelin. The HAURAKI Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio HAURAKI. She had there on the radio. The Hauraki Big Show this Thursday afternoon.

29:28Keyzie:The time is 5.37. Now, we're off to Dunners tomorrow, otherwise known as Dunedin. Early start, fellas. Really early start. 6.50 flight. That is early, Jase. Of course, our show starts at 4 in the afternoon, so we want to make sure that we're there on time.

29:43Jase:Yeah, you've got to be there on time. That's the trick. Because as we discussed yesterday, it's about a seven-hour flight down there. So, of course, if you want to come along to the Dunedin Craft Beer and Food Festival, there are still some tickets available. dunedinbeerfest.co.nz. We will be at the Emerson's tent tomorrow broadcasting live, our radio show 427. Yes. So if you're listening to us, just know that we are in Dunedin at a beer festival having a lovely time. We're also going to be pouring beers. Yes. We've got our own Hodaki Big Show beer. It's called The Big Dadoo. It's a hazy IPA, and I certainly will be getting amongst it.

30:16Yeah, man. Do you guys know how to pour beers?

30:19Jase:Yeah. I mean, when we were down in Hokitika, Oh, yeah. I did about three hours in the little truck there. Oh, you did too? Yeah, man, I was loving it. The smallest pub in the land, I think they call it, some of them call it those ones. Anyway, so, yeah, I was absolutely dominating in there, Keezy. Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, I've worked at a pub in my day and, you know.

30:35Keyzie:I certainly love a bit of bar action, so, yeah, I like to pour a few beersies. No, I know you like to, but do you know you've got experience? Oh, hell yes. You've worked at a bar? Bloody Oats. Yes or no? Because I feel like you're just lying. Well, Bloody Oats is an emphatic yes. What was the name of the bar? What's that? The Mutineers. The Mutineers, really? Yes. Where was that? Well, it's not there anymore, unfortunately. Yeah, okay. In the, how would you describe it?

31:08Jase:What's that country called again?

31:10Keyzie:In Mount Albert anyway. Oh, okay, yeah, right, okay. Right, so you know how about, you know, you hold it. Your tip, yeah. You hold it on an angle. Yes, you've got to get a nice head on it. How much head do you want? I like a lot of head, but you don't want to have too much head. See, that's the thing is I also quite like a large amount of head because what I like to do is drink through it.

31:36Jase:Yeah. You want to get to the main event sometimes though, right? Yeah, but you will though. You've just got to drink through it. And what having a large amount of head does is it like it sort of holds the freshness and the crispness of the pint. How much head do you like? Well, look, I'm not averse to head, and the reason for that, Kesey, is because the whole idea is to get all of the effervescent out of the beer. Yeah. So that's what that is. Is that what it is? Because if you don't get that out, because a lot of people will pour a beer and they don't like any head at all. Some people don't like any head.

32:14Jase:Mad bastard. Are you serious? Absolute mad dog. They're just sick. But what happens is when you pour a beer like that and there's no head and you scull it back there and it all sits in your stomach, well, all those bubbles have got to come out. So the point of pouring a beer and getting that head going, big head, tons of head, is to get rid of all of those bubbles so it doesn't go into your stomach. That's the point of it. So head is actually a good thing. It's a great thing. Far out, that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. But that's the thing though, right, because if we're the ones serving it and we're giving people giant head.

32:49Do I ask them if they want head? Maybe that's what I do. Is that what I do?

32:52Jase:I think it's just standard that everyone expects head. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay, I'll make sure that I give it. And if they don't get it, they're fuming. Yeah, okay, I'll make sure I give out a decent amount of head this weekend. Oh, yeah, you will be.

33:01Keyzie:Well, I mean, if you want to get really specific, you can ask them how much head they want. But, I mean, generally they trust the barman to, you know. Give them the right amount of head. Give them the right amount of head. Well, it's an EdenBearFest.co.ez if you'd like tickets. You can join us tomorrow afternoon at the Emerson's tent. It's going to be great, guys. I can't wait.

33:23Jase:I think I might be at the front of the queue. You going first, Geezy? I don't know what you mean. What? You going first, mate? Guys, this is Nirvana. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

33:37Keyzie:Green day there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Thursday afternoon. The time is 5.49. Fellas, last night I was in bed with the wife. Oh, yes.

33:47Jase:Now we're talking. And I was lying on my Shakti mat, which is like a bed of spikes. You put that in the bed? Yeah, I put it on the bed, and then I lie on it for about 30 minutes, and it helps with my lower back pain. Do you have lower back pain? Yeah, I've got a fractured vertebrae, Mogey. And anyway, so I'm lying on the Shakti mat, watching something on my laptop there, got my headphones on. Nude, because I sleep nude, right? That's gross. My wife comes in. She's wearing a kimono. Hello now. Okay. But she's wearing a kimono and she goes to, she's, oh, it's a bit stuffy tonight. I might open the window.

34:24So she pulls back the curtain, the wall curtain,

34:32and she goes to open the window and screams straight away. Right.

34:40Jase:She's sort of a reflection of you're downstairs in the window. Oh, God, no. No, it wasn't that. That has happened, though. No, a giant bug fell down onto the floor and sort of ran quite quickly. Yeah, they are quick bastards, those. Freaked her out. She's like, you have to get up right now, and you have to get that thing out of here. Yeah, right. And I was like, don't. It's just a cockroach or a little spider or something. And then she's like, no, you have to get it. So I get off my mat. I'd been on there about 20 minutes anyway, so it's probably time to get off. And I'm butt naked, remember? Yeah.

35:11I walk around and have a look. I walk around and have a look, and I'm butt-ass naked. And then I pull back the wall curtain, and it's a giant wetter. Oh. Like a huge wetter. And I haven't seen a wetter in ages, but they are scary-looking bastards. Like, they're quite big, and they've got fangs, and they're all spiky and horrible. And I was like, wow, okay. I was just going to grab it, but wetters bite you, I think, or they sting you or something.

35:37Jase:They stab you. They stab you. That's the one. Yeah. And so I did the old get a glass and put the paper underneath it. Oh, yeah. Put it in the glass, paper underneath. Were you on your knees? I had to go on my knees, yes, because it was down quite low. I was down on all fours. And so I've got it in this glass with this piece of paper, and she's like, what are you going to do with it? And I was like, well, I'm going to go free it. I'm going to go throw it outside. I'm not going to kill it. So I opened the back door. I go to open the back door, and I'm like, can you turn the hallway light off first because the neighbours will be able to see right in that there's a naked man holding a glass with a wetter in it.

36:11So she turns off the light. I go out the back door. She's like, can you drop it far away from the house? So I walk deep into the yard and then open the glass, drop the wetter, and then she closes the door, locks it, and turns the outside light on.

36:28And I'm just standing there like, and everyone's up late because it's Guy Fawkes. And I'm just like, okay, well played. This is very funny, but I did just kind of save the day. Can you please let me in? But I thought it was funny. It was a pretty funny prank. It was a funny prank.

36:46Jase:Oh, that's good stuff from here. Yeah, it was. I was actually proud. I was like, that's actually really, really funny. Was it a prank or did she honestly, she'd seen enough of your naked body for the night? I think she wanted me and the disgusting bug out of the house, yeah. Oh, that's good stuff. Thanks, fellas.

That's okay, man. Hey, speaking of dinner, what are you fellas having for dinner tonight?

37:45Jase:I don't know, actually. It's a surprise. Oh, okay. What about you, Keezy? My wife's actually got a work event tonight. God, she's out a lot at the moment. Every night of the week. Every night of the week, it would seem. Well, it's a work event. So she'll be home at about 9.30, 10. Yeah. So it's old Keezy on his own tonight. Mad Dog Keezy's at it again. I am going to get a pizza. Get a pizza, send a few texts on your TV remote. Happy days, man.

38:11Keyzie:That is a callback. Funnily enough, I'm having pizza tonight as well. Homemade. Are you? My wife makes a very, very good dough. But the rest of it's shocking. Well, no, we have a deal. We have a deal. She does the dough and we make our own pizzas. Oh, right. I make my own sauce because I'm very... Quite particular. I like my olives, my anchovies, my chili, my prosciutto. What does she have on hers? She chucks all sorts of stuff on hers. Broccoli. Yum. You know, green stuff. Rocket? Yeah, a little bit of rocket. It annoys me. Cauliflower. Cauliflower, tofu. It works. Well, to be honest, I'm not going to make my pizza.

38:57I'm going to buy a pizza. I was going to get Reburger. However, I believe we're getting Reburger tomorrow. Oh. Down and Dunners. Oh, yes, we are. So I was like, kind of that. Oh, yes, we are. Kind of that twice in 24 hours. Well, can I? Good question.

The cult there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Thursday evening. But right now it's time for The Big Pole.

39:37That's right, today's Big Pole up on the Hauraki Big Show Instagram story. Private sale of fireworks in New Zealand. Yes or no? And Muggie, you brought this one to the fore.

39:47Jase:Yeah, I did, mate. Mainly because yesterday was Guy Fawkes and also because there was a political party that's come out and said that at the next election they're going to be campaigning on this bastard hard. Getting rid of them. They want to get rid of fireworks. They say it's been going on long enough and it's time to get them out of this country unless it's a public display. People are going to be pretty passionate about it. They're going to get them lining up down there at the polls. So, yeah, we thought we'd run that one. And, see, from a personal point of view, as somebody who's been blinded by a skyrocket before, as a result of misuse of fireworks from a drunken son of a bee.

40:25Jase:And that's not an exaggeration. You're blind in one eye. Literally blind in one eye. When I was 18, I got hit in the eye with a skyrocket by a drunk mate who was pointing it at my head. Lol. I don't know. I think my biggest problem with them is that they suck now. Yeah. Now, if there were skyrockets, which, of course, cause the most fires, and so you can understand why they're bad, but also the little double happies, the little dynamites that you used to have as a kid and the Tom Thumb. I used to love those. They were so much fun. Now, were they dangerous? 100%. So you can see why they've been banned as well.

40:56Jase:But, you know, I don't know. It's getting rid of a lot of fun, fellas.

41:00Keyzie:We're getting rid of a lot of fun. You know, on the other side of it too, you know, hospitals must love Guy Fawkes.

41:06Jase:They must go, oh, good times, here we go. I'll tell you what's interesting. One of the main arguments here is the reason why you should get rid of fireworks is because of pets. Yes. Why don't we get rid of pets? Keep the fireworks. Because of fireworks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also, but like pets, but also I can imagine like last night, for example, my wife hates anything loud. Right. So if you ride past on a Harley or if you drive past on a car with an obnoxiously loud exhaust, she will literally say F off just out of habit. She can't have it. So last night we were trying to watch Grand Designs and a firework went off with a loud boom and she swore.

41:44And I thought it was funny, obviously, because it's the noise for her. She hates the noise. And the other thing too, just quickly, if they say more public displays only, they're going to have to crank up the amount of public displays. It's going to need to be more public displays. It's going to have to be heaps of them, which I'd be all for. If they were like, yeah, man, we're going to do heaps of public displays, they're all going to be great.

42:02Jase:But if it's Guy Fawkes, it's one. You have one on Guy Fawkes night, and that's your lot.

42:06Keyzie:Yeah. What really gets on my goat is the before and after. People letting them off three days before and four days after. That's the thing. Even more than that, actually.

42:14Jase:And you do get your Chinese New Year, you get your Diwali, you get your New Year's so there's plenty if you're frothing that hard about it you can find fireworks displays wherever you like also you can type in fireworks on YouTube and you can watch fireworks so good would you like to guess what the result of the big poll is because it's an interesting one

42:34Keyzie:no is it getting rid of no are you in favour of them yes or no okay yes 60 % yeah 65 it's actually no 53 % wow so people want more people want to get rid of them but only just. It's like 50-50.

42:55Jase:That's what I meant by yeah. My thing was I think more people want to get rid of them was what I was saying. Is that what you meant, Jase? Or did you think people wanted to keep them? Wanted to keep them I think. Yeah, cool. It's 50-50 anyway. It is changing. They ran one on one of the news sites and it was like 85 % wanted to get rid of it. Yeah, right. News sites, that's just old people. Oh, you can't believe news sites, whereas the big show, big poll. That's where you get your info from. Your true data. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

43:33Keyzie:Soundgarden there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this Thursday evening. Now, fellas, I don't know if it's the same for you, but when I see a sunny day, it makes me think of cricket. Oh. And when I think of cricket, I think of the Black Clash.

43:44Jase:Well, the Black Clash is probably the greatest New Zealand cross-code rivalry of all time, I would say. I would agree with that. Really? I would say so. What about like, you know, Canterbury versus Auckland? Cross-code. Cross-code. Oh, what does cross-code mean? It means rugby versus cricket. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, well then a hard out. Yeah, hard out. Hard out, man. Hundy P, brother. Hundy P. And we're doing it, I think it's the sixth or seventh iteration coming up Saturday the 17th of January 2026. This year it's at Bay Oval in Tauranga. Yes. And you normally turn about, isn't it, Keezer?

44:20Jase:You go your Christchurch, you go your Tauranga. Normally the two places that you can rely on to have beautiful weather, and so far that's proven to be the case. Hasn't rained once.

44:28Keyzie:It's been amazing, actually. There's been times where it's like, oh, she's looking a bit dicey today, and Hoody J's been going, yeah, I don't have to commentate, and then it's, she's a beautiful day. Jase, it's a massive honour that you get to do that, and if you're going to take it for granted, and hope that it gets cancelled, man, I think you should maybe hand the reins over to someone else. Okay. Can I do it? Yes. I don't know anything about cricket. There you go. Sorted. Hey, but listen, you need to be a part of it because it is a great occasion. Genuinely, people, it's basically just a big party, isn't it, feels?

44:56It's a giant party. Blackclash.co.nz if you'd like to get your tickets. As mentioned, January 17th in Tauranga, there is the ACC Export Ultra Party Zone. That is the sort of, the vibes are on in that zone. Let's just say that. Last year it was absolutely heaving. It's going to be happening again and the Hauraki spot is going to be right in front of that party zone, right on the boundary and you and a mate could want a chance to sit up close to the action with us in the Hauraki spot if you're keen, head to hauraki.co.nz enter there and thanks to Auckland's grab a seat we can fly you from anywhere in the country and also put you up for the night at the Trinity Wharf Hotel which is where we're all staying and where the teams are staying I just had a thought, Kesey

45:32Keyzie:Are Don and Mon coming? My mum and dad? Yes they are actually, they're keen I think my brother's going to be there but

45:38Jase:he's going to probably be on duty as a copper We saw him a couple of years ago, actually. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a unit, isn't he? Yeah. He's a big boy. Well, compared to you, sure. Well, everyone's a unit compared to me. Also worth noting that Michael Hussey, Mr Cricket from Australia, he'll be attending sort of in that Brian Lara sort of shoes of years gone by. I don't imagine Hussey will be as hammered as Lara was and as much of a disappointment. So he'll be over there playing for Team Rugby alongside Captain Kieran Reid and, of course, Joey Wheeler, the Mad Dog. and great players all across the board.

46:10Jase:Dan Vittori, Tim Southey, Neil Wagner amongst the others. Yeah, how good. We'll see you there, New Zealand. Hauraki.co.nz, get yourself in the draw. ACDC? Yeah, I think so. This is a tune. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

46:27Keyzie:Bec there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this Thursday evening. Now, fellas, I've started doing something a little bit different in the shower and I want to pass it on to you because it's absolutely magnificent and what I do. Are you still using your stool? Oh, no, I got rid of the stool, Keezy. Oh, yeah. But what I've been doing, and because I've heard this before, people have told me about it, is turning my shower to cold about 20 or 30 seconds before I get out. Really? Because apparently that's really good for your health.

47:00Jase:What part of your health?

47:01Keyzie:It improves your circulation. Oh, yes. It boosts your mood. It reduces muscle soreness. It's really good for your skin and hair. Right, okay. And all sorts of other benefits. People have told me about it before. It's really good for your heart too, apparently.

47:18Jase:Because, Mogi, don't you do saunas and ice baths and stuff? I have done them. I don't do them, only because they're not available to me. But, yeah, I don't know what the guts is with it. I think it's more of a, I mean, yeah, I think it's a discipline thing, certainly. And if you can do it, I don't know how much good it actually does. but there's certainly research that's – well, there's a lot of people on Instagram that say it's good.

47:37Keyzie:Yeah, well, totally. So I thought I'd give it a bit of a nudge. And I did it yesterday. I had an early start because I was filming. And I went, oh, here we go. Here we go. And I turned it really cold with about 30 seconds to go. And it was amazing and it was invigorating. But one thing that did happen, which I wasn't expecting, was it gave me a stiffy. A stiffy. Right. And I don't know, I mean, have you guys ever done that? Because I don't know if that, is that a normal thing? Getting a stiffy. You know, getting a stiffy in that situation, because it wasn't at that point. It was only when I turned it to cold and I went, hello, stiffy.

48:20Mogi, you're probably better suited to chatting about this one, because that's never happened to me, Jase. But do you turn your shower to cold? No. Oh, yeah, that's the thing.

48:27Jase:Well, I don't get that in the shower, but certainly when I'm having an ice bath. You get a stiffy? Yeah.

48:34Keyzie:Okay, well, that's comforting. Or a spa. Or you get it in the spa as well.

48:38Jase:Yeah, or any kind of swimming pools.

48:41Keyzie:Any kind of water? Oh, what about when you're just washing your hands or doing dishes? Yeah. Is it contact with water?

48:46Jase:If I'm washing the car? Okay. But I think that's the suds. Yeah, right, okay. The dirty water and the dirty muck water. The dirty, dirty. Right, okay. The muck water, okay. Okay, so Moggy's got his own thing going on.

49:00Keyzie:I was wondering about that, and if anyone else has had that experience. No, man, everyone's different. I was taken aback.

49:07Jase:Because you haven't had one of those in years, have you? The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

49:24Keyzie:Well, there you go, you mad bastards. That's a big show done and dusted this Thursday evening. We're going to go home, get a bit of rest and fly off to Dunedin tomorrow. The podcast outro today wouldn't have a clue. What's the clip there, pugs? Sorry, Kesey. My name's Chris. Yeah, sorry, Christopher. Pizza is the name of today's clip. Does that ring any bells? No, actually. It doesn't ring any bells for me either. But here it is and it comes out tonight at 7.30. So search Hauraki Big Show wherever you get your potties from. I ordered a crock-an-o pizza once when I was in Aussie with Crowd Goes Wild.

49:56Right. And I had one bite. I was like, nah. And Emu as well, had Emu? Yeah, yeah, Emu. You've had it? No.

50:04Jase:I've heard of them, though.

50:05Keyzie:I bet I've heard of them. I've seen one. I've seen a couple of the bastards, actually.

50:09Jase:He'd go through the rubbish out your joint, wasn't he?

50:11Keyzie:He was, yeah, yeah. Was that Kim.com?

50:14Jase:Him as well. Well, Kim.com was right in there.

50:26Jase:A little bit of work tonight, just packing my bags, It's getting an early night, mate. Do you know what I love, man? I love going to bed. Yes. I agree. When you jump in the bed, it's just like, oh. Thank God. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. There it is. I love that. So I'm looking forward to that feeling tonight. And seeing you bastards in the morning.

50:46Keyzie:Yeah, great stuff. Well, I know what you're doing. Keezy, your wife's out again tonight. So pizza and gaming. Probably will pizza. Yeah, I'm going to get a pizza and I'm going to play PlayStation. And then my wife will show up. Hey, good luck. Thank you.

50:56Jase:Good luck with the gaming. Thank you. and then my wife will arrive home and then I'll go to bed because I need to get up early. But I can't go to bed if she's not home because I can't sleep. I can't either. Yeah. And also I know that if I do fall asleep, she'll wake me up once she gets home and then I won't be able to go back to sleep. Right. So it's a whole thing, Jase. Yeah, yeah. We should talk about that. Yeah. And Jase, of course, you're going home to make homemade pizzas. Yes, I am. That's fun. Thanks, man. Is there anything else you want to say on that?

51:24Keyzie:Not really, no. Oh, okay. I'll see you later then. I wonder if she's got mozzarella instead of your shit.

51:29Jase:Mozzarella.

51:30Keyzie:Because your tasty cheese doesn't melt as well, you know what I mean? You need mozzarella. Yeah, yeah. Tasty is yum, but it's not for pizzas. Okay. Hey, listen, get ready, Dunedin. We're on our way very, very shortly. Till then, see you later.

51:58Thank you.
