12:52Keyzie:Stone Temple Pilots there on the Big Show Breakfast This Tuesday morning The time is 6.37 And since we've been doing the Breakfast Show we've been inundated with texts from people asking us, have you guys got any tips for having to wake up early? Yeah. Absolute inundated. Absolute. Absolutely inundated.

13:15Mike Minogue:That's right, 3483, if you want to inundate us with anything, absolutely. Heaps of people are asking, though, fellas, and we've been doing this for, what, four days now? Oh. This is our fourth day doing breakfast. Yes. So we're pretty damn good at it at this stage. So I just figured some tips on how to get up early. For example, my first tip will be go to bed earlier. No. Not bad. Usually I go to bed. To be honest, I'm on drive radio in the afternoon. I'll go to bed 11 p.m. plus every single night. Whereas at the moment, last night I was in bed at 8.45. Yes.

13:48Keyzie:Well, just on that front, what I've been doing is after the breakfast show finishes, I go home and go to bed. Oh, for a nap? No. I just go to bed And then I wake up and it's like Oh breakfast time again, here we go

14:03Mike Minogue:So you're asleep at like 11am Yes And you wake up at About 4am

14:10Keyzie:4am, yeah It's not as much sleep as I normally get But it'll have to do for now How do you come up with ideas for content? In my dreams Often I'll wake up from a dream Either deeply aroused Or it'll be like Oh, oh, oh

14:25Mike Minogue:I know, tips for getting up early. Yeah, and it'll be

14:28Keyzie:straight in the group chat there. What do you do, Moe? For me, what I do is I make sure that I've got an alarm that is really bad. A lot of my wife, for example, she's got a soothing alarm clock that sort of lulls her out of her slumber, whereas mine's like the sound of a freight train, so I have to leap out of bed. Yeah. And there's no snoozing when you've got that. You've got to leap out of bed and my phone is on the other side of the room. Yes.

14:50Mike Minogue:That's actually it. That's... That is a good tip, right? If you're a snoozer, If you're a chronic snoozer, put your phone on the other side of the room or outside the room.

14:59Keyzie:Yeah. You basically want an alarm that's going to give you a heart attack. That's right. You know what I mean? Ah!

15:05Mike Minogue:Yeah. Because getting out of bed part is what wakes you up. So quite often, I used to be a snoozer, I put my phone in the lounge at the other side of the house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have to get up and go get it.

15:14Keyzie:Another good thing you can do, actually, to save yourself a bit of time if you do like a snooze is just don't shower. Yes. You know what I mean? just flag the shower and all the hygiene things. Just straighten your trackies after you get up and go straight to work.

15:28Mike Minogue:Well, I mean, there's also basic hygiene before entering the workplace.

15:32Keyzie:Well, you don't need to worry about it this time of the day. There's no one here.

15:35Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. So if you absolutely reek, who cares? I bought a cat. So I've got a cat. And that cat wakes me up about 2 a.m., 3 a.m., 4 a.m., 5 a.m. Right, so buy a cat. Yeah, buy a cat. because a cat will want to either have a yarn come in and just start purring and sort of kneading your neck and head areas, or it's hungry, or it needs to go outside and do a steamer, or it's going to do a steamer on your bed like my cat. Right, okay. I've got another tip.

16:06Keyzie:I moved into the CBD. And, like, for example, this morning at about – and I was telling you, fellas, about it when I came in today. at about 20 to 4 there was a guy walking down our street ringing a cowbell. Yes. And then you get your standy murders, you know, people screaming and all that sort of stuff. Move to the CBD.

16:33Mike Minogue:I also get up and have a really big glass of water first. Oh. And then I don't drink my coffee until I'm almost at work. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. I don't drink at night because I find that it's harder to get up in the morning. Like alcohol? Yeah, alcohol. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in the morning, I reward myself with a few beers as soon as I wake up. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

16:59Keyzie:You two there on The Big Show breakfast this Tuesday morning. The time is exactly 10 minutes to 7 o 'clock. Fellas, I'm a little bit concerned that I'm losing all respect at home. Right. You know, with my wife and my daughter. There's sort of some signs there that maybe my opinion is not valued. I hear you. I'll give you an example there. Yesterday, I'm at home. I'm in the kitchen cleaning it, you know, just all the breakfast dishes and stuff that are sort of stacked up from when I was here doing breakfast radio. So I've got to get home and tidy it all up. Yeah, clean that up and sort of clean the bathroom and everything.

17:37Just tidy the house up and everything. Obviously they're home, but, you know. There's a lot going on. Oh, very busy.

17:43Mike Minogue:Is this what you're talking about, the lack of respect here? No, just getting to the lack of respect. No, that's why. That's not lack of respect. That's standy, Kesey. Is it? Yeah. Oh, wow, okay. You'll find out once you've got kids. Okay. Which is? Which is? Which is? Very exciting. No, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. Stop it. So my daughter comes in and tells me, she's like, Dad, like that. She's like, we're getting a dog. And I'm like. Because she's seven? She's seven, yeah.

18:12no we're not. She's like, yeah, we're getting a dog and we're getting a chihuahua.

18:18Mike Minogue:I can see you. And me and mum were looking at them on the computer today. My wife and I have had some quite detailed chats about whether or not we're getting a dog and we're not. Well, at least I didn't think we were. Yes. So then I'm in the office. My wife is in the office there and in the home office. And the daughter comes and I said, oh, what's this about us? So here we're getting a dog. And she's like, what? I said, oh, Frankie, my daughter here, is telling me that we're going to be getting a dog, which was interesting. Not only that, we're getting a chihuahua. There's not a dog on the planet that I hate more than a chihuahua.

18:54Mike Minogue:Yeah, weird looking thing. Big bulges.

18:57Keyzie:They're grody animals.

18:58Mike Minogue:Mass bonker, yeah, it's weird.

18:59Keyzie:And they're always the most vicious too. The smallest dog, but the most vicious. Yeah, exactly. I don't think they're the most vicious. Oh, mate, I've been bitten many times by a chihuahua. Shock and temperament. Shock and bad. And they're poisonous chihuahua bites as well. They have venom. Yeah, they have venom. Yeah, they do. And they gossip about you behind your back. I don't know if you know this. They talk shit about you behind your back. Shocking butt. You can't get one of them. They've got massive ears as well.

19:21Mike Minogue:Are you sure you're thinking of a cobra?

19:24Keyzie:Cobras don't have ears, Keezy, you der brain. Yeah, righto. Okay.

19:31Anyway, so the conversation goes on, and my wife swears up and down that she hasn't said this. She's simply said that we might. We might. Okay. Maybe.

19:44Mike Minogue:Oh, okay. We'll get one. And I said to my daughter, I said, when Dad says maybe, does that mean yes or no? And my daughter said, it means no. And I said, and when Mum says maybe we'll do something, does that usually end up meaning yes or no? She said, yes. Yes. Yeah. So I'm just wondering because this is an entire – And as I found out, my wife, as a precursor of the conversation, said to my daughter, don't tell Dad we're talking about this. Yeah. Yes. So what the hell is going on? I'm now living with, I'm essentially a pet. I'm like the cat now. It's my wife and my daughter that rule the roost at home.

20:24And no word of a lie, then it goes the cat and then it goes me. You slaving over the dishes there. Yes, with your little apron on. It's just kind of hard. So am I losing all respect then? Are there any other examples? Oh, yeah, totally you are.

20:38Keyzie:Because I'm the same with my, you know, I've got four girls. And the amount of stuff that went on between my girls and my wife, never had a clue about. Yeah. All the stuff that was planned, never told about. And then they present it as, you know, it's being done. There's no discussion about it. That's right. And then they try and gaslight you about it and go, we did talk about it. And it's like, no, we did not. That's a different situation, I think. We did not.

21:05Mike Minogue:I think they did talk about it. Ever. 3483, have you lost respect in your household? Examples? All texts in the draw for a prize. Because another example for you, Jase, is the way that your wife dresses you. Yeah. You know, those boots. Come on, man. Here's Green Day. The Hauraki Beat Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

21:30Keyzie:You're welcome back. Thank you, massive backbones. Hope your Tuesday morning is going along very nicely indeed. You're listening to the Big Show Breakfast, brought to you by Bunnings Trade.

21:44Mike Minogue:Build big rewards with new Power Pass Pro rewards by Bunnings. And a big welcome to everybody just joining us at 7 o 'clock. Where have you been, man? Yeah, man, we've been going off this morning. It's been absolutely fizzing in here, man. You've got to get up early and listen to the show, you lazy bastard.

22:01Keyzie:I'm actually pretty convinced that people are doing that. As soon as they heard we were doing breakfast, they went, right, I'm going to be up at the start of the show, 6am on the dot.

22:09Mike Minogue:Really?

22:10Keyzie:Yeah, totally, man. Incidentally, keep those orders coming through for what you want for breakfast on 3483. Yes. We've started up our own little cafe here. So, you know, keep them coming. Why are you laughing, Keezy?

22:24Mike Minogue:Oh, just because it was like 40 minutes ago. I don't know.

22:26Keyzie:Well, that's what I'm saying. Just keep them coming.

22:29Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You keep coming, 3483. Pugs has been dishing out prizes, which has been pretty fun. Totally, mate. We've got a big show ahead, fellas. Obviously, we need to touch on the absolute legend and icon that is Sam Neill. Yes. Also, your chance to win$250 cash with the pies that pay. Listen out for that cue to call. It'll be happening at some stage this hour. Yeah, good stuff, mate.

22:50Keyzie:Coming up, though, the very sad news about Sam Neill. We'll be having a bit of chitty chat about that.

22:56Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

23:02Keyzie:Audio Slave there on the big show Breakfast this Tuesday morning. The time is nine minutes past seven. And of course, yesterday we heard the very sad news of the passing of the great, the one and only Sam Neill. Probably our greatest actor, Mogey, you could argue. Yeah, I reckon he'd be right up there. It's a hell of a career he's had. I saw a video clip of him yesterday, sort of having a yarn about it, of him going down to university, meant to be doing a degree and something, but just buggering around, doing plays and trying to hook up with women. Yes. And then panicking in a conversation with his mother who told him he'd better get his shit together.

23:41Yeah. And didn't he get his shit together in glorious fashion? A hell of a career. Started out with Sleeping Dogs in New Zealand. Then he went on to do some incredible films and work with some of the biggest directors, the biggest actors in the world, career spanning 50 plus years, and at the same time manages to retain a level of anonymity. He's a working actor. He's not a superstar. He's not a celebrity. He doesn't chase any of that stuff at all. You wouldn't know a thing about his personal life, despite him being such a presence in all of our lives for such a long, long time. and also uses whatever fame that he did have to celebrate causes and pursue causes that meant a lot to him.

24:26He'd been working up to his passing on stopping mining down in the South Island. Yes. And there's a bit of gold mining they're trying to do down there and rip up a part of central Otago, so he's working really hard to stop that. A battler for Indigenous rights and women's rights and all these sorts of things. He was, you know, I worked with him on Hunt for the Wilder People. I saw him recently at the 10-year anniversary. Everything you think about the guy is what he was. Yeah. 100%, one of the nicest men that you would ever meet in your life. Genuinely, genuinely a good man.

25:01Keyzie:I had the privilege of bumping into him in the Koru Lounge, and I was reading a book. I can't remember the name of the author. And he wandered over to me. He didn't know who I was, of course. I knew who he was, and he said, oh, what book is that? And I can't remember the author's name, and he was a big fan of it. And so he sat and chatted for about four minutes about this author. Right. And he was totally into it. But I think one of the extraordinary things that he did was to show New Zealand actors that you could be on the world stage. Yeah. You know what I mean? You didn't just have to work within the confines of New Zealand, because as you pointed out, he's worked with a great many great directors and actors, and he showed us that actually it's possible for a Kiwi to do that.

25:45100%. Going from New Zealand then to Australia and then into the US and the UK, it was unfathomable at the time that you could do that as a New Zealander. And so it's just one of those things where you see one of your own doing it and it becomes possible for you. I mean, sure, I could choose to be a big Hollywood star if I wanted. Oh, really? Absolutely. I've got the radio show, Keezy. I've got you, you know, me and Jason trying to get your career up and going. Oh, don't worry about me, man. I'm sweet as.

26:09Keyzie:Oh, no, we do feel a responsibility there, Gizzy. We can just get back to Sam Neill. But seriously, a legend, bloody good-looking fella too, wasn't he? Stunning-looking fella. Well, on the Hunt for the Wilder People, and I've told this story before, but the first time I met him, there's a scene where I'm one of three hunters and Sam Neill gets into a fight with one of the other hunters. He grabs this fella, Coen Holloway, pats him pinned to a table. I have to come in and grab Sam Neill from behind and grab him around the neck and yank him back. And I did that, but on the first take, I came through and I punched him in the face.

26:45Right. It was an accident, but the filming stopped for a period because obviously I don't know my own strengths, Jason. He was dazed and confused. Poor old Sam there. Anyway, I was telling my mother about it, and to this day she's absolutely filthy about it because she's always felt there was a chance for her and Sam Neill. Right, okay. Yeah, I could see that. He was a matinee idol. Yes. and got the talent to support that, and the career was unbelievable. So a bloody sad day. I feel for his family, but Jesus, what a great life. Yes.

27:18Keyzie:What a great life. Celebrate his life for sure. Yeah, you can be sad about it, but if you could sit down as a young person and write out your journey, the adventures that you would go on, to find a thing you're passionate about, to be brave enough to pursue it, to find out you're good at it, for other people to recognise your talent, and then to share the screen and scenes with some of the greatest actors the world has ever seen while being directed by some of the greatest directors the world has ever seen. You'd be happy to write the end at the end of that story, wouldn't you? Totally. And stay humble through all of that.

27:56Keyzie:If you've got any thoughts on Sam Neill, text us now on 3483. In the meantime, here's Muse.

28:03Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

28:07Keyzie:Yes, indeed. News there on the radio. Hauraki Breakfast this Tuesday morning. West Indies 63 for one in the second one day, if you're interested. We're talking about the great career of Sam Neill, who sadly passed away yesterday, fellas. But a hell of a career he had.

28:26Mike Minogue:Massive career. And for me, because obviously you guys are in the acting game. Well, you have a crack at it, don't you? Yeah, we try, man. Mogi, you punched him in the face on the set of Hunt for the Wilder People. Yeah, man. So for me, and certainly my wife as well, well, there's three for me. He did a series called Tutankhamen like 10, 15 years ago where he played the guy who opened the tomb and found the tomb of Tutankhamen, right? I love Egyptology, so I watched that and was like, oh, wow, Sam Neill, how cool. Yes. But the other two, the main two are Hunt for the Wilderpeople, which is probably in my eyes the best Kiwi film for me personally.

29:00Mike Minogue:I think it's just a fantastic family comedy film. I've watched it so many times and it's still so great. But also Jurassic Park, man, being directed by Spielberg. Yes. One of the biggest franchises in movie history. It was huge. Massive. And then when I found out, because I watched that as a kid, obviously, and then found out that he was a New Zealander, that blew my mind.

29:19Keyzie:He was one of those actors, actually, where you would be watching a movie and all of a sudden it would be, oh, my God, it's Sam Neill. He just popped up all over the place all the time. And as you were pointing out, Mogi, just one of those actors, which is very rare, believe me, that was constantly in work, And he was constantly in work because he was brilliant at it. Yeah, exactly. I think easy to work with. Steven Spielberg has come out and said he was saddened by the death that Sam was an exceptionally collaborative actor and easy to work with, and he adored making the Jurassic movies with him.

29:52It's pretty incredible to have those people that you're working with. I mean, as a quick roll call of actors that he worked with over his career, Mel Gibson, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, James Earl Jones, Richard Attenborough, Harvey Keitel, Hugh Grant, Charlton Heston, Robert Downey Jr., Meg Ryan, Lawrence Fishburne, Robert Redford, Scarlett Johansson, Robin Williams, William H. Macy, Kate Blanchett, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Chris Henswick, Mark Ruffalo, the list goes on and on and on. Basically everyone. Every single person that you can imagine.

30:31Yes. Absolutely huge films. I mean, early on, there was, the big one, I think, was Evil Angels, which was the story of A Dingo Stole My Baby. Over in Australia there, Meryl Streep played Linda Chamberlain, and he was married to, his character was married to her. Then there was Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October with Sean Connery.

30:51Keyzie:Dead Calm was with Nicole Kidman, was it? Nicole Kidman, that's right, and Billy Zane. Brilliant film, actually. Great thriller, if you haven't seen it. The Hunt for Red October was massive. Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin and that. then Jurassic Park, The Piano, and it goes on and on and on. So, yeah, I mean, jeez. To be able to do half of those, a quarter, a tenth of those films, he must have had over 200 credits, so just hugely in demand. Well, you just reminded me too, his performance in The Piano was fantastic as well as the brooding sort of partner. That was an amazing performance.

31:24Mike Minogue:Good stuff. It's a sad day, fellas. It is a really sad day. It's very nice getting to listen to you two actors talk about him as well. Yeah. Because for me, I'm just a person who sits at home and sees them on telly. Yeah, it's slightly odd, isn't it? I stumbled into acting and then to do Hunt for the Wilder People and find yourself on a set with Sam Neill, it's slightly odd. It was weird at the time. But what was actually interesting about that was because my experience of having worked with Taika before was, and being so inexperienced as an actor and being thrown in with people that you absolutely – are the biggest thing in the country, and you're just terrified, and try to pretend like you're not.

32:04Yes. So being directed by Taika on – what is it there, the vampire? What We Do in the Shadows. And his way of working is that he doesn't really give you direction. If you're doing fine, he won't talk to you. Yeah. So your thing is, because you're not being spoken to and being told you're a good boy and that you've done good, you assume that you've buggered it up. Yes, of course. So then we're doing Hunt for the Wilder People and sitting outside, and that's just how he is. So if Tyka needs something, he'll tell you. If he doesn't, he won't. And then to sit outside with Sam Neill, and Sam Neill's saying the same thing.

32:37He's like, you don't know if he – I wasn't sure if I was doing a good job or not because Tyka wasn't saying anything. And he's 45 years into his career and still feels the same way, still has the same uncertainties and – Insecurities. Insecurities. Yeah, yeah. So it was really nice. Now, he didn't have to say that to me. No. He could have pretended like everything was all good, but he was an actor first and foremost. Well, actually second, but first he was a great, great man.

33:00Mike Minogue:Well, there you go. Sam Neill, legend. Thoughts with his family. Totally, man. Get out there and watch everything he's done. He's an absolute legend. It's faith no more. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

36:39Do you like a sauce, man?

36:41Mike Minogue:Nah, not with bacon and egg, mate. Yeah, dead to one. See, I actually like sauce with my bacon and egg.

36:45Keyzie:Oh, yeah, totally. I've got sauce all over mine.

36:48Mike Minogue:Hey, Paul, once you've eaten a bacon and egg pie, do you usually have something for dessert to wash it down with? Oh, there's nothing like a mock cream donut to follow it up with. Yeah, boy. Yeah, my dad's is a lamington.

37:02Keyzie:Oh, yeah, nice. And then like a blue V or something. Hey, good news for you, Paul. You've just won yourself$250, mate. Magic, lads. Cheers for that. No worries, man. You have a great day. You too, fellas. Yeah, good on you, Paul. Paul's going to have a great day, man. I can tell. Yeah, totally. You know what? Just between us. Yeah. I might actually... It's all G if I sort of grabbed a few dad's pies on my way out today, you know, and maybe had them for dinner. That's all G, eh?

37:34Mike Minogue:So you're going to steal the pies from here. Well, and it's not stealing. What about them home for dinner? What about the chips? You normally steal chips. You're switching that up to pies.

37:41Keyzie:Well, funnily enough, Moggy, about five minutes ago, I was thinking, is it too early for chips? Yes. It is?

37:48Mike Minogue:Well, it's not even eight o 'clock yet.

37:49Keyzie:Well, I mean, but you were all a bit peckish, aren't we, fellas?

37:52Mike Minogue:Well, I've brought brekkie. I actually think I'm going to fire up the air fryer, because I'm assuming we've got billions of pies out there. This is my point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, well, let's hook into it, fellas. Yeah, I reckon. And the best part is, fellas, Dad's Pies proudly bakes award-winning pies for pie-loving New Zealanders. How good? Dad's pie. Oh, yeah, they're the best. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so great. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

38:19Keyzie:Arctic Monkeys there on the Big Show Breakfast this Tuesday morning. The time is exactly 7.48 and we're talking about what you steal from work.

38:27Mike Minogue:Yeah, if you steal anything from work, 3483. Text us, let us know what it is, 100 % anonymous and you'll get a prize.

38:33Keyzie:Yeah, great stuff, which we'll probably steal to send to you.

38:36Mike Minogue:Yeah, true. We'll go in the draw for a prize, which Jace will then steal.

38:39Keyzie:Yeah. Now listen, fellas, you'll be aware of the fact that I've often lamented that we don't get sent stuff anymore during the drive show. You know, there was a time in radio where, you know, people would send you stuff because they want you to mention it on the radio, you know, get a free plug type thing. Thank you. That's not happening anymore, I've noticed. But since I've been doing breakfast, I walk in here every day and what I've noticed is the table out there is absolutely laden with stuff that's been sent to the breakfast fellas. Now, my argument is this. Since technically we are doing breakfast at the moment, and even though it's addressed to Mania and Jerry, is it fine that we steal it?

39:23Yeah. That's tricky. It's a tricky one. I can see you thinking. The big thing, I guess, is they're not going to know what's been sent in for them. Correct. Because oftentimes these things come in and it's just somebody's just doing it, thinking, oh, these guys will appreciate it. So it's not like they know that it's going to be coming. So, you know, if a tree falls in the woods and no one's there to hear it, can we steal all this shit? Yes, exactly. My feeling is yes. That's my thought. The other problem that you have, though, of course, is the question is, do you actually want it? Because you think you want it because it's free, and then you look at it and you go, oh, this is just a bunch of old tat.

39:55Mike Minogue:Yeah. The other way I justify it, fellas, not justify it, I could potentially justify it, is, you know, does Jerry need free stuff? Yeah, well, yes. You know what I mean? Yeah. He probably owns the factory that made all that free stuff. That's true. So, you know, he doesn't care.

40:11Keyzie:Exactly. Two very good points. Yeah.

40:15Mike Minogue:So what are you thinking, Hoody J?

40:16Keyzie:Well, I'm thinking we just – I mean, I don't even want to phrase it as stealing because, as you say, they will never know about it. That's right. Jerry's as rich as. Yeah. So I'm just taking it off their hands unbeknownst to them. That's right.

40:30Mike Minogue:And also to make you feel better, heaps of people are stealing stuff. 3483, it's lighting up. Yes. G'day, fellas. I steal drinks, doormats, and a polishing cloth. I frequently steal milk and sugar. Yeah, well, those are all sort of cornerstones of your home life. I used to, when I was on the unemployment benefit, yes, times were tough. This was about 30 years ago there, Keezy. I used to pop over to the McDonald's there, and I would steal the tomato sauce, the salt, the pepper, the napkins, go into the toilet, get the toilet rolls, and the toilet brush. Yeah. Why the brush? Well, not the toilet brush because I was 18.

41:08I didn't clean the toilet.

41:09Mike Minogue:And also, once you've stolen one, you don't need to keep stealing it.

41:13Keyzie:I, like you, Mogey, was on the dole for a period of time too. And, you know, when my family was very young and we were completely broke, toilet paper was a biggie for us. Right, yeah. I'd steal a lot of toilet paper. Why would you spend money on that when it's free at McDonald's? Exactly. The other thing I used to gather somehow was pens. I always had a lot of pens. Yeah.

41:35Mike Minogue:Someone here used to be a delivery driver. He used to always steal a burger or a drink and then blame the restaurant. So there's someone here stealing diesel from work. Oh, yeah. That's a good thing. So what are you thinking, Jase? Are you going to go for it?

41:47Keyzie:Yeah, totally.

41:48Mike Minogue:Are you going to steal it?

41:49Keyzie:I mean, you guys are with me, aren't you? I mean, you can bring in a bunch of stuff that's out there and decide whether we should steal it or not. Okay, yeah, let's do that. In the meantime, here's ACDC.

42:02Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

42:07Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope you're surviving your Tuesday morning. You're listening to The Big Show Breakfast, brought to you by Bunnings Trade.

42:17Mike Minogue:Build big rewards with new Power Pass Pro Rewards by Bunnings.

42:23Keyzie:Great stuff. Now, listen, for those that are interested, the West Indies currently 108 for five. the pitch is absolutely turning a mile and I don't think I've ever seen New Zealand play four spinners before yeah it's quite unbelievable yeah and it's a classic well this is a series being played in the West Indies isn't it Jase it's one of those series where well it's on so we'll watch it but outside of that I couldn't really care less yeah I don't really really care

42:58Mike Minogue:at all the weird thing for me is it's on ESPN Is that normal? Well, I think because there'll be some kind of a deal that's come out of the West Indies, but you'll find that Sky probably doesn't want to pay for it. Yeah, fair enough. Because they have so many of these sort of bilateral series and they're just like, you know. No one cares. Well, ESPN is also on Sky, I guess, so it's a win-win. Yes, it is.

43:21Keyzie:Hey, now, listen, coming up next, we're going to be speaking to all black Anton Leonard Brown, but in the meantime, he's Sheehat.

43:28Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki

43:35Keyzie:Yes indeed, She-Hard there on the Big Show breakfast this Tuesday morning The time is 9 minutes past 8 o 'clock And we were just talking about stuff we steal from work Now I've been wrongly accused of being a bit of a thief around the workplace Yes I am fond of your odd packet of chippies You steal them every single day But I think that's just been sort of blown all out of proportion.

43:59Mike Minogue:By you stealing them. Yeah, I mean, you steal them every single day. We pointed it out. Yeah. And from flavour too, you steal their shapes. Oh, yeah. And I'm a bad one for that, but what am I meant to do there? Yeah, well, exactly.

44:12Keyzie:I mean, if there's really yummy food lying around, I'm just going to eat it.

44:14Mike Minogue:Yeah, would you steal a loaf of bread to feed your family? You know what I mean? It's that sort of thing. Yeah, that's right.

44:19Keyzie:Totally. Yes. And I was posing the question, because we don't get sent stuff when we're doing the drive show, but I've noticed that the Breakfast Boys get sent a plethora of items, and I thought, well, technically speaking here, we're doing the Breakfast Show. That should be our stuff.

44:35Mike Minogue:I would agree with you if it said Breakfast Show on the items, but it says very specifically Mania and Jerry. Yeah, but if they weren't doing the Breakfast Show, they wouldn't be getting it. And it also says Morning on this one. so I think they're getting it because they're doing breakfast you know?

44:51Keyzie:You see and what you can do because it does say to this one for example to Manaya, just rip that tag off, you see?

44:59Mike Minogue:Oh wow, yeah it's gone and you've ripped the bag as well

45:01Keyzie:It's not on there anymore so it never existed

45:04Mike Minogue:You've damaged the property But the other part of this Jase of course is you see free stuff, you think you want it but when you have upon closer inspection you might find out that you really don't want to. For example there's a couple of bags here from a food delivery service. It's as far as I'll go. That's all the mention they're going to get because they've sent us nothing. Yes. There's one for Jeremy is how it's spelt here and one over there for Manai. Now if you go through the box, there's a massive box of 30 serves of some kind of packet latte. Yum. No. So I wouldn't bother

45:40Keyzie:stealing that. Yeah, I've got cappuccino in my one there, Mogi. Now this is something that I think could be handy for the big show because I've noticed that Keezy, since we've been doing breakfast, has got very droopy-eyed. And I've got here Hydrobomb, Keezy, eye sheet mask, reduce eye bags and reduce dark circles. I'll chuck that over to you. You can just slather that all over yourself because you're looking shocking at the moment.

46:09Mike Minogue:I'm looking shocking. There's also a twin pack of socks. Yeah, I like those. Yeah, well you say that, but then they're$10. That's good. They're$10, which means they're made out of not natural fibres, Jason. I worry about your feet not breathing because they reek, absolutely reek when you come in here and you unleash the hound.

46:29Keyzie:Fortunately, though, on that front, there's also a Rexona Advanced Protection Sport. So if I just squirt a bit of that on there, on the shoes, sweet as. Right. So I'll be keeping that.

46:44Mike Minogue:Okay, so you brought a four-pack of something in. What was that? Yeah, what's that four-pack you got over there, Jizzbot?

46:50Keyzie:We've got Easy Mist Spray Wet and Forget Shower Witch. Now, I know you'll be needing some of that too, Keezy, because... Why is that again? Well, just because of the filth that happens in your shower. You'll need to squirt that around after you. What filth? I'm going to shower, Jase. I was just saying.

47:08Mike Minogue:This is a new yarn. Please tell me about the filth.

47:10Keyzie:No, look, I don't want to get into the details. It's breakfast time, Keezy. people are probably hoeing into their porridge. They don't want to know about your shower filth.

47:17Mike Minogue:Good stuff. All right, well, we're going to go to a tune and hopefully when we get back, a chat with someone from the All Blacks. And also, just let us know what you've been stealing from work, you sicko. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

47:35Keyzie:Yes, indeed, the red. Hot! Chilli peppers there on the Big Show breakfast this Tuesday morning. the time. 16 minutes past 8 o 'clock and we've got all black Anton Leonard-Brown on the phone. G'day Anton how's life? Yeah good lads, how you going on? Yeah very good thanks mate. Now it's the start of a new regime isn't it with old Dave Rennie there. I know you've had some experience with him in the past. Two from two for you fellas so a good start but I've got the feeling Anton there's stuff that you need to work on. yeah yeah nah bang on there obviously yes we got together well we've only been together for a couple weeks now so yeah combinations and learning the game plan and stuff yeah there's plenty to work on but there's been some good stuff as well

48:30Mike Minogue:Anton Leonard Brown Kesey here mate hope you're well this morning you've played for Dave Rennie for bloody ages man you played with him at the Chiefs for a long time over in Japan as well with the Kobelco Steelers. He's involved with that side as well. So when he was chosen to be the next All Black coach, were you absolutely stoked? Yeah, I guess it worked out all right. It was a funny one because I sort of went over to Japan to get away from rugby and get away from it all. And then midway through the season, your head coach in Japan becomes All Black's coach.

49:04Keyzie:You were like, sweet, I'm set for five years. Yeah, well, you could say that or it could go the other way. Yeah.

49:13Mike Minogue:He's been watching you play in Japan. You might have to pull your bootstraps up a wee bit. That's not a saying. That doesn't make any sense. I had to have less dedus and less ramens, which was unfortunate, but it was me.

49:24Keyzie:Well, you know, having said that, I mean, what are Dave Renner? Because there'll be people out there that don't know much about him. What are his qualities, mate? Because that second half of the second half there against Italy, He was effing and jeffing in the box. He wasn't happy. Yeah, yeah. He sets really high standards. He knows the game out and out. He knows every detail of the game. And he's just a great person like himself. And then he gets great people around him who are really good at what they do. So, you know, I always remember saying when I was first at the Chiefs, you know, he just wants hard work and good buggers.

50:03and that's what I feel like we've got in this group. You know, we understand the standard we need to be at and that's probably why you see frustration there because we know we can be so much better but in amongst that there's some really good stuff. You've just got to go easy on yourself, Anton, man. It's not going to happen overnight, brother. You'll get there. Yeah, I believe so. And it sounds like he's all about connection. I remember seeing something with Liam Messam where he was talking about you guys having to hitchhike a hitchhike or find your way somewhere to get some community work done.

50:37And Liam jumped on Twitter and said, does anyone want to come and pick me and Sonny Bill Williams up? We're heading over to XYZ. Then the car turned up and Sonny Bill wasn't there. It was just Liam Messam trying to get a free ride and using Sonny Bill as the bait. Is that a big thing for him? It's not just about the team. It's not just what happens on the pitch and within the organisation. It's about connection to the fans and the community. Yeah, for sure. You know, he understands that really well. He understands how important, you know, the fans and community are. And then the connection amongst the players as well.

51:12You know, obviously playing the game's a big part of what we do, but it's only one part. You've got to grow the connection and you've got to know, be really clear of who you're playing for, and that's what he does well.

51:22Mike Minogue:Anton Leonard-Brown, you know, you've been around the All Black squad for quite a while now. Some of these young fellas that are coming through that are, you know, fans are getting very excited to watch. Are there some that you see coming through that excite you as a player? Yeah, I think there's plenty of young talent coming through, obviously. Well, I don't know if you can call him young now, but Cam Rourygaard, CR9, he's pretty special. Yeah, absolutely. And Reuben Love's been looking good in 10. Josh Morby, he's not that young, but he was special off the bench last week. And, yeah, some of our young forwards coming through as well.

51:59No, it's good to see. It's funny, when I first started playing rugby, you know, it was not quite as professional as it is now. So you get these young kids who are really, you know, top-notch professionals coming through, and you can see what they can do on the field. It's pretty cool.

52:17Keyzie:Anton, finally, mate, you've got the Irish this weekend. Bloody tough side, the Irish. The last sort of three or four years, they've been something special. That's going to be a real test for you, fellas. Yeah for sure we know A massive one ahead of us But I think our focus In these first few weeks is just On ourselves And us getting better At our best We can be the best in the world So that's what we're focusing on So yeah we look forward to Playing them this weekend

52:50Mike Minogue:Yeah that game happening at Eden Park Anton Leonard-Brown just before I let you go mate I'm going to Japan later in the year And obviously you've spent a bit of time over there What's the best type of ramen to order? I'd go a tonkotsu ramen. Tonkotsu ramen. Oh, yeah, now you're talking. Beautiful. Do you know what that is, Jase?

53:09Keyzie:Yeah, totally I do, man. Yeah, sure you do. Hey, Anton Leonard-Brown, we appreciate your time this morning, mate. Go well this weekend. Cheers, lads. Thanks, mate. Good on you, mate. Bye, kiss later. One of the great all-blucks there, Jase. Yeah, yeah.

53:23Mike Minogue:That's a throwback to when you said the name wrong. Shocker, man.

53:27Keyzie:Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, Maggie.

53:29Mike Minogue:Oh, good bastard.

53:30Keyzie:Well, you know, I mean, jeez, it happens.

53:33Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

53:41Sport Headlines with Bryn Rutkin. It is 8.31. Time for your latest Sport Headlines. Thanks to... Bryn Rutkin. Export Ultra. The beer for here. Thanks, Export Ultra. The Black Cap Spin Bowl is a running rampant in the second one-day cricket international against the West Indies in Guyana. Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Satner eliminated both openers. What are we at? 129 for seven in the 30th over. Jim Pumpkin. 31st over, Jim. 31st over.

54:15Mike Minogue:Zero up to one. Oh, yes. Yeah, so you always add one. There we go, 31 overs. There we go. Blimp Chungus. It's actually just got, it's 130 for seven now. Over's 31. So, Brent, are we doing a commentary? Yeah, I mean, he's going to get over this. I'm going to get over this a little day here. Oh, OK, I'll move on to the next one. New Zealand's hopes of a long-awaited under-20 World Rugby Championship title are over after losing to France 26-22 in the semifinals in Georgia. Jim Blompton. MMA star Conor McGregor insists he'll fight again in the UFC despite needing surgery after a first round loss to Max Holloway on Sunday.

54:58McGregor turns 38 today.

55:05I've got a sting now, OK. I actually do have a women's sport story. I should hope so. Finally. Why is it such a big deal?

55:12Mike Minogue:Why does he make such an issue of it? Why don't we just include it in the book? Far out. Just continuing to admit their achievements from the sports news, Bryn. And I, for one, am not impressed. Let's hear it. Princess Kate has presented the champion trophy. This is royal chat. Is this woman's day chat? No, let me get to it. She has presented the champion trophy to Yannick Sinner in the men's singles final at Wimbledon. So your woman's sport is the princess presenting an award to a male athlete.

55:44Keyzie:That's right.

55:45Mike Minogue:Well, I suppose it is woman's sport. You're a shocking bastard, Britt. Good work, fella. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

55:58Keyzie:Guns. Roses there on the Big Show breakfast this Tuesday morning. The time is 8.48. Currently the West Indies 1.37 for eight for those that are interested. Fellas, there was something that I wanted to ask you, and it's something that I do all the time, and I think most of us do. It's a pretty normal thing. And that is when you're about to meet up with someone, and or a group of people, do you, before you do that, rehearse your conversation? Like, for example, today when I'm walking in the CBD, she's cold and wet out there and I'm walking along and I'll out loud be talking to myself saying, oh, g'day, fellas, how are you going?

56:43Mike Minogue:Really, you're rehearsing.

56:44Keyzie:Because I know that I'm meeting up with you or, geez, I tell you what, fellas, had a shocker last night. Really? You do that even coming to meet us? Even coming to meet you guys

56:55Mike Minogue:So do you practice, because most days you come in a whore of a mood Do you practice coming in a whore of a mood?

57:00Keyzie:Sometimes I'll go, this is the thing about rehearsing it You go, that's just all too G, it's all too good And sometimes I'll be like, yeah whatever Kesey And just sort of getting a feel for it But do you in all seriousness Do you rehearse when you've got an upcoming meeting with people do you rehearse what you say? No. No, I don't, and I've never heard of it. I don't, and I've never heard of it. And I'd be worried about my mental health if I was here. That's concerning. So you're walking through the CBD all hours of the morning talking to yourself. Yes, saying, G'day, fellas. G'day, fellas, you mad dog, et cetera, et cetera.

57:39Keyzie:Well, you know, for example, I mean, I'll finish the show today, and I'll be walking through the CBD there, and I'll be like, oh, g'day, darling. Oh, Keezy was in a horror of a mood today. Right. You know what I mean? And she'll be like, oh, and then I'll predict what she's going to say. And I'll go, yeah, I reckon.

57:55Mike Minogue:So when you're talking to the fellas on the way into work, right?

57:57Keyzie:Yes. Well, it's not always the fellas, but generally, yeah.

58:00Mike Minogue:But to say, you know, are the fellas ever there?

58:03Keyzie:What do you mean?

58:04Mike Minogue:Are the fellas that you're talking to, are they ever there?

58:06Keyzie:No.

58:07Mike Minogue:Right. So this is a Russell Crowe, beautiful mind situation.

58:11Keyzie:I'm literally walking along, you know, or I haven't seen a mate for a long time, you know, and I'll go and I'm meeting him at one for lunch. and I'll be like, oh, g'day, mate, haven't seen you for a while. You're saying this out loud. Saying it out loud, yeah. I mean, we all do that though, right?

58:25Mike Minogue:No, my wife will quite often go, oh, like before she calls someone, she'll go, oh, okay, so I'm going to call and just say, hey, I'm calling in about blah, blah, blah, just to get it so it's nice and concise in her head. Yes. That's the only thing even vaguely similar to this.

58:37Keyzie:Right, because I don't want to come in and just immediately see the fellas and be stumbling all over my words and stuff like that. I want you to go, hoity, Jay, he's here, he's on. Well, I also see that you, when you're sort of wandering around in the studio here when we've got a couple of tunes on and Keezy's giving us a cold shoulder, you'll sort of be walking around, sort of staggering around, yarning to yourself. Mustering to yourself. Mustering to yourself. Yeah, but everyone does that. What is that? What are you doing when you're doing that? What are you talking about? Because if you're talking about, you know, sort of coming into work and, you know, laying us all out or something like that, you know, I've got some issues, Jase.

59:13Because what it feels like is we've got a Gollum-Smeagol situation. 100%. Where you've got the precious ring, we're trying to steal the ring off you, and you're going to strangle us and dunk us in the river.

59:23Mike Minogue:And obviously the various physical similarities.

59:26Keyzie:Well, but in the studio it's different, though, because I'm already here. I know. So what are you talking about? So what I'm talking about is a much lower pitch. It's, g'day, fellas, how are you going? Is you doing all right, Steve? Yeah, right. Jeez, the show's going well, fellas. And then I'll come back and I'll sit down and I'll go, oh, jeez, the show's going well, fellas.

59:43Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. And then I'll say something and then you go, oh, that wasn't what I thought he'd say.

59:47Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, sometimes I do and I go, oh, that's when I go to the Keseys in a whore of a mood sort of thing.

59:52Mike Minogue:Yeah, right.

59:52Keyzie:But I think it is quite common, right? Sure. 3, 4, 8, 3. Well, not in this room. Oh. It's not common at all.

59:58Mike Minogue:Pugs, do you do it? No, no, Pugs doesn't do it either. So you're the only one that I know that does it, and this is the first time at 49 years of old that I've even heard of this happening. I've seen it on the street, but I never had one of them say to me, this is normal, right, Mogi? Because they knew, even though they were nutters, that they were nutters. Does that clear everything up, Jase? And I mean that in a politically correct way. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

1:00:25Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Bush there this Tuesday morning. The time is exactly 8.59, and you're listening to The Big Show Breakfast.

1:00:36Mike Minogue:What's on the news? With me, Casey. Fellas, this news comes from Cyprus. Do you know where Cyprus is? Cyprus Hill. I know where Cyprus Hill is. Where's Cyprus Hill? Los Angeles. Yeah, that's the rap group. No, Cyprus, the place, the location. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there was a teenager named Vlad. Vladimir Putin. Vlad Skuridan, 13. He was at home playing video games on his computer, which sound like... Jase? That's what they would have sounded like. while he was playing video games. Okay, it'll do. Shut up! I'm telling you, Jase, I've got concerned about... I know, man. You don't need to tell me.

1:01:25For mental health.

1:01:26Mike Minogue:While he was playing video games on his computer, Mogi, Jase, while he was playing video games on his computer, lightning struck his home. And the lightning travelled through all of the... If this guy ends up being the Flash, I'm going to be fuming. If he ends up with superpowers of any kind, Kizzy, I'm telling you, I'm dragging you out of this studio and I'm giving it to you.

1:01:52Keyzie:With the lightning striking his home, did that release him into the next level?

1:01:56Mike Minogue:It released him into the next level, as they say in video game world. No, it didn't release him into the next level. What happened is it struck his house. Sorry, you're right.

1:02:04Keyzie:I mean, not released him, but it got him into the next level.

1:02:08Mike Minogue:It struck his house. Yeah, and it got him to the next level, all right? Happy? and it travelled through it travelled through the electrical cables and that onto his desk because he was using a PC and his desk was made out of metal and his arm was resting on his desk while he was playing PC and there was one big conduit from the lightning through everything, through the desk to him he got struck by lightning for playing video games whilst in a lightning storm good stuff and it's a real possibility that it could happen

1:02:51So did he like, you know, did that sort of refill his ammo or something?

1:02:58Keyzie:Oh! Reload? Yeah, did he reload? No.

1:03:04Mike Minogue:Did he get the magic saber? The magic saber? How do you know about the magic saber? It's not a real thing. Doosh, doosh. That's a good story. That's what's happening in the news. How is he now? No, he's dead. Oh, no, he's not. He's fine. He lives with his mum in Huntley, it says here.

1:03:24Keyzie:Here's the black keys.

1:03:27Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

1:03:33Keyzie:Rage against a machine there on the Big Show Breakfast this Tuesday morning. but right now it's time for What's on the Telly with Mike Minogue.

1:03:47Yes!

1:03:51Last night the news of Sam Neill's passing came through and so that sort of derailed any TV viewing ideas that I had. But I did end up watching, I did go on to Netflix and just search Sam Neill's name Because you can do that, Jason. You can just see all the things that are on there that have got Sam Neill in them. Yes. You know about this, Nat? Yeah. Wow. It's a pretty good trick. So I've gone on there, and there is a whole bunch of stuff on there which I'll be hooking into tonight. Particularly want to see the earlier stuff, but I couldn't find what I was looking for, and I was looking for this on the Apple Store as well, was Sleeping Dogs.

1:04:29Yes. I can't find that one anywhere. What's Sleeping Dogs? Sleeping Dogs is... Very early New Zealand film. He was 30 years old when he made it, I think, in 1977 off the top of my head, which is probably wrong. And, yeah, he made that, and that was sort of the thing that got him started. He was 30 years old. That was his first feature film. That was the one he did with Ian Mewen, as we discussed on the podcast.

1:04:48Keyzie:Yes, was it Donaldson, the director? Roger Donaldson, that's right, who went on to do World's Fastest Indian and a slew of international projects. Yeah, so I can't find that. And that annoys me. That annoys me about the digital age where the digital streamers can decide what you can and cannot buy. That annoys me.

1:05:07Mike Minogue:And also, once you've bought it, they can at any time turn off the service and just go, you know, that thing that you own, that's gone now. That's gone now, 100%. And that's the world we're going to be living in. But that said, there's heaps of stuff on there. I recommend hooking into that, and I'll be doing that from tonight, going down memory lane with Sam Neill.

1:05:22Keyzie:Yeah, good plan, man, good plan. And fellas, on my Samsung television, there's many, many channels, as we discussed yesterday. There's a movie channel dedicated to Korean movies. And I've become a massive fan of Korean movies. I watched one yesterday called Vertigo. And what the Koreans do, I mean, it's beautifully shot. The performers and actors are excellent. The performances are excellent. It's just visually pleasing. and I tell you what the Koreans do very, very, very well is a horror. Really? You know, the spooky, scary stuff. So that's all I've been sort of watching. Vertigo was about a woman who had vertigo and she was, I don't want to get into it because it's very involved and subtle.

1:06:09Mike Minogue:So it's about a woman who has vertigo?

1:06:11Keyzie:Yes, who works in this high tower. But it's also about relationships and all sorts of stuff and she's doing all the work and everyone else is getting all the credit, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

1:06:22Mike Minogue:So it's like a Keezy Big Show situation.

1:06:24Keyzie:She's in love with the boss, but the boss is actually sleeping with a lot of people and just using her. There's a lot of sort of psychological drama going on. I'll give it four buzies out of five.

1:06:37Mike Minogue:Wow. Holy hecka. You eat Korean quite often as well, don't you? There's that joint down the road from your house and you consume a lot of Korean film. Yes. I feel like you are subliminally, subconsciously preparing yourself to move overseas, probably to one of those Asian countries.

1:06:54Keyzie:Well, we did actually think about going to Korea. That was going to be our family trip. South or north? South. I'm not going to north with old Kim there. Dot com. Dot com, yes. Is he there? Yes, that's definitely on the agenda quite seriously, Keezy. Moving to Korea? No, not moving there, but certainly visiting. We're going to be fascinating. We simply must. When are you moving there? I'm not moving there. I'm just saying it'll be a fascinating place to, you know, investigate. Is that a new shirt?

1:07:25Mike Minogue:Is that a big honker?

1:07:30Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

1:07:34Keyzie:Nirvana there on the Big Show. Breakfast this Tuesday morning. Now, this morning we were talking about the sad passing of one of New Zealand's greats, the one and only Sam Neill. Exactly right, Jase. A bit of a shock to the Swiss me. He'd had the big C for a bit, but he managed to beat that. And so last night I was sort of just trawling through a whole bunch of content about Mr. Neil. And one of the things I came across, which I'd seen a couple of years back, a few years back, and I had done really well. There's a show in Australia called The Assembly. And on that show, you get famous people in there and they talk to kids.

1:08:13And the kids are the ones that do the interviewing. So it's called The Assembly for that reason. and in this clip this young girl asks Sam Neill a question and he breaks down, I remember it was during his treatment but it hit a nerve with me so I thought we'd play it out here eh? My parents were of the generation that went through a lot of things they went through the depression my mother lost her father in the first war so she grew up without her father Yeah, so they went through a lot of stuff, a lot of stuff. But they were very stoic people. And I'd had a year at the university where I'd done bugger all.

1:08:56You know, I was acting in plays and trying to find a girlfriend and, you know, things. So it came to exam time and I realised I'd done almost no work. It got me very anxious. Anyway, I got home and Mum said, How are you, darling? And I said, Oh, Mum, I think I'm having a breakdown and I've got exams in a couple of weeks and I don't know how I'm going to go. And she just looked at me and she said, Well, you're just going to have to pull yourself together, aren't you? And I think that was the best lesson I learned from her is sometimes you just have to pull yourself together.

1:09:38Keyzie:Yes, I remember watching that clip, actually, and he did get very emotional. Yeah, he did. He was taken by surprise. But very much, that was the sort of thinking of that generation of people, wasn't it? Is pull yourself together and get on with it. Well, it's got a lot of value now. It does. There's no point falling apart if you've got the option to pull yourself together. And, you know, Sam Neill, we were talking earlier on about how he was constantly working and all that sort of thing. But I've also seen chats with him where he talks about when the jobs aren't coming thick and fast, when you do have space, and what you get when you go on to a film or some kind of project like that, is you're occupying your mind and you're also getting that family environment right where everything's great.

1:10:16But then when the project ends and you have to go back to your house and you're sitting there all alone possibly, you know, the dark clouds can roll in. And I know that he did have his issues battling the black dog. So there are times where you have to pull yourself together. I think, you know, there's probably a lot that each of us could learn from that. Instead of wallowing, just get your shit together and get on with it.

1:10:43Mike Minogue:Yeah, man. How do you guys deal with it when there's obviously no roles flooding in? I've never had to. Oh, okay, just because it seems like that's the current reality. What do you do?

1:10:55Keyzie:But that's totally right because you are part of a team when you're doing a play or you're filming and stuff. And you do go back home and you spend time in your own head and the old demons start hammering away. Oh, I'm no good. I'm terrible. I'm all that sort of stuff. Yeah, I can't act.

1:11:13Mike Minogue:When that happens, you're like, oh, come on, Broken Wood, come back for another season, please.

1:11:16Keyzie:Yeah, well, you see, I've got that now.

1:11:18Mike Minogue:Yeah, right.

1:11:19Keyzie:And it's a hit show around the world. And so I'm very fortunate in that sense, Keezy.

1:11:24Mike Minogue:Yeah, you're the man. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

1:11:36Keyzie:Well there you go you mad bastards that's the big show Breakfast Done and Dusted this Tuesday morning. Now there may be people listening to us out there that have never really listened to the big show and one of the things that we do is called the podcast outro which is sort of bonus material that we do after every show it's a separate podcast today we did it before the show didn't we fellas?

1:12:00Mike Minogue:Well traditionally when we were on our drive show in the afternoon, we do it before the show to warm up. Yes. But once we started doing Brecky, we started doing it after the show. Because we're lazy. Because we're lazy. But now we're like, let's get in real early. Yeah. 5.30 and record it then. Yeah, yeah. This is a clip from yesterday's podcast about the human form.

1:12:17Keyzie:I used to do a bit of modelling back in the day, actually. Noses.

1:12:23Mike Minogue:Pardon? Yeah, he posed for the Easter Island head when they were carving those. Got him. I was like, what's something with a big note? I can't do it. That was today's podcast. Oh, yes, it was. Great stuff there. I got mixed up, yeah. So we have a lot of fun, eh, fellas? A little bit of honker chat. You got me there, Keezer.

1:12:49Keyzie:You are finishing up here, going to work? I am going to work, actually. Yeah, good. Finally. Quite strangely, I'm doing breakfast radio in Australia. I've got to go and do a Zoom. Right, okay. To talk about Sam Neill, so I'm not quite sure how that's happened, but I'll be going off to do that. Sunrise. Sunrise on Channel 7 with Matt Shervington and Nat.

1:13:12Mike Minogue:Isn't that a TV show? Yeah, it's Sunrise. It's breakfast TV. What did I say? Radio, I thought. Oh, did I say radio? You did say radio. It's TV, man. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Old Mogey. Old Mogey there making up yarns. They call him Shervo. They do. They call him Shervo. And I thought they would call her Natto, but they don't. They call her Nat. You're going to be like, Shervo, you mad bastard. Shervo, you mad dog. Well, he used to be an Olympian, a runner, if I remember correctly. Maybe a two, maybe a 400 metre. And I remember that he had a particularly outstanding downstairs operation.

1:13:43Oh, yeah. You might want to ask him about it. I will. I think it seems like the appropriate time.

1:13:48Mike Minogue:You should give him a backbone T-shirt.

1:13:52Keyzie:Keezy, you said you're heading straight home for a nana nap.

1:13:55Mike Minogue:I am heading home. I've got some jobs to do around the old house there. Got a plumber coming as well. Oh, you've got a plumber coming. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do. How do you get a plumber to come? I don't know. You call him. And, yeah, so I'll be chatting to the plumber and then maybe have a nap after that. Jase, what are you doing? Oh, yeah, you'll be sleepy after that.

1:14:16Keyzie:Well, funnily enough, I've got people coming over as well to fix up the lights in my apartment. Oh, you've got another electrician coming. Yeah, an electrician.

1:14:23Mike Minogue:How do you get an electrician to come?

1:14:24Keyzie:And I think I've also got someone coming to fix up our fridge. which is freezing at the moment. Your fridge is freezing, is it?
