FULL SHOW: Reviving The Throbber

10:52Can you tell us, Keezy, why it is that you took it down?

10:57Mike Minogue:Well, for the listeners that have just joined us, basically Jay sent me just a whole lot of these reels in a row on Instagram that were - Shifting the blame. Is this what they call gaslighting? Yes. Jay sent me a whole lot of these reels that were distasteful in a row, about eight of them. And then I created a video saying, hey guys, Hoity J's in trouble here. We really need to get around him and help him because he's addicted to sending me these sort of reels. What I didn't show in the video was the fact that I had been sending him more reels than he's been sending me. This was him getting back at me.

11:29Mike Minogue:He was like, oh, you like stupid reels? Here you go. Here's about 10 of them. I turned it into a reel, uploaded it. People were loving it. It was very funny. I made my wife cry with laughter on the couch, which I was pleased about. I then got a message from Mrs. Hoity J saying, Keezy, take that down. body shaming's not cool and fair enough too because a lot of the reels were taking the person out of certain type of people and she said body shaming's not cool so please take that reel down and so I did straight away but I got a rap across the knuckles from Mrs. Hoity J and I feel really really bad about it

12:01Keyzie:boy did I get a rap across the knuckles and I was like I didn't do it I didn't post a bloody thing

12:09Mike Minogue:it was great I don't know

12:11Keyzie:but anyway we've got Sam on the line he's got a view on this Sam Sam, what's your thought on this controversy?

12:18Mike Minogue:How you going, Pepe Leges? Mate, I've just got to be real with you. What springs to mind is snitches get stitches. You heard that before, Keasy, mate? Yeah, I've heard of that saying before, Sam, yeah. Yeah, well, you might just want to remind yourself about next time you go and do something like that, eh? Well, I do wonder, Sam, if you've got any group chats on your phone there that would be, you wouldn't really want to see the light of day. 100%, bro. If there's one in particular, I know for a fact my mother would never speak to me again. Sam, just out of curiosity, did you see the reel I made?

12:55Mike Minogue:No, I didn't. You're pretty quick with it, bro. Do you want to see it? No. Can you see the reel? No. Even the guy saying snitches get snitches wants to see the reel. Wants to see it. Good on you, Sam. Hey, thanks for calling, mate. We'll send you out a reberg of our trip, all right?

13:12Keyzie:Oh, yeah.

13:14Mike Minogue:You hold the line, mate. Pugs will look after you.

13:16Keyzie:Perfect for your Friday night, a re-burger voucher.

13:19Mike Minogue:Someone here saying jail is too good for you, Keezy. Stag do group chats should never see the light of day. Yeah. 100%. Yes. I'm in about 10 stag do chats and they're all terrible. Yeah, it's unreal, isn't it? It's a funny thing. You're only doing it to shock people. Yes. And you're saying things that you don't necessarily believe. but if you had them read out, and you've said this before, Jase, if they were read out in a court of law, you would instantly be locked up. Yes. Yeah.

13:50Keyzie:It's like, well, you're not getting the context of how that was said. You know what I'm saying?

13:55Mike Minogue:Well, look, this weekend, Sunday, Mogi's having all of us and our partners around to his place for the first of the Come Dine with the Fellas, just checking me and your wife, All G.

14:04Keyzie:She's All G, Kesey. She might give you a clip around the air when she first arrives, But, you know, other than that, it's all G. Okay, cool. But, yeah. I mean, between you and me, she's pretty tense. Oh, so we're not all good?

14:20Mike Minogue:Sorry, Hoity J. Seriously.

14:21Keyzie:All good.

14:22Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

14:31Mike Minogue:It's Beer and Pie July on Radio Hauraki.

14:35Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Tis the final day, fellas, where we give away cash, cash, cash. Thanks to Dad's Pies.

14:43Mike Minogue:That's right, the pies that pay one more chance on the big show. Later on the show, keep on listening, get ready to call 0800 Hauraki. But Dad's Pies, they gave us$20 ,000 to give away this entire month to celebrate beer and pie July. $500 left,$250 to whomever got through nice and early on 0800 Hauraki.

15:01Keyzie:Yeah, let's go to the phone lines right now. G'day, Luke, you mad bastard. How's life? Yeah, not bad, thanks, Jake. How are you? Yeah, good, thanks, mate. What do you do for a crust, Luke? I'm a joiner. Oh! Backbone, mate. You backbone, mate. Yeah, what a massive backbone you are, Luke. Backbone, man. Hey, when you're not joining, Luke, what pie do you like to run with?

15:24Mike Minogue:I like it with steak and pepper. Oh, you're steak and pepper. Oh, nice. Pepper steak. I used to, I was all over a pepper steak back in the day. It was my favourite. What happened, Mogi? Well, I'll tell you what happened, Cheesy, and it's, I'm glad you asked. Too many times bite into a pie and there being fat on the steak. I cannot abide fat. Can't do it. So that was it. That was the end of it for me. Yeah, right. Fair enough. What about you, Luke? Do you like fat? I'm not a huge fat guy. Are we talking about cheese is real? You think what do you do? No, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

16:00Mike Minogue:Have you seen that, Luke? Come on now. Come on now, Luke. Okay, okay. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, but I don't know what you're talking about. That's history. Yes, Louise. Hey, Luke, we'll send you$250 cash, man. Congrats. You won. Oh, thanks, guys. Meant a lot. Good on you, mate.

16:15Keyzie:You have a great weekend, eh?

16:16Mike Minogue:You too. Thank you.

16:17Keyzie:Thanks, mate. Good old Luke, eh? Old Lukey boy.

16:20Mike Minogue:Ah, Lukey.

16:21Keyzie:Jeez, I'll tell you what, it's been cold. She'll be bloody cold down in Dunedin. She's bloody frosty down there. She is, mate. You're absolutely right about that. Jase, can't fault you there, brother. It's winter. Jase, you are spot on. I am bang on. Sometimes you absolutely smash it. I know. I just nail it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, totes. Hey, just getting back to Keezy betraying you by posting that reel on Instagram last night, which was what old Lukey Boy was alluding to there. I've had a text come through on 3483. I just want to get your thoughts on this, hoity J. If Keezy wins the throbber, that's an asterisk.

16:55Keyzie:Agreed. Can I just say? Of course Jase agrees with that. Why? What did I do wrong? Can I just say re the throbber, Mogey? Yeah. Not a chance, mate. Oh, you've got a chance.

17:05Mike Minogue:Oh, but me winning. Yeah, okay. And for all those people that have just joined us, 5 o 'clock today, Hoity Joe has promised to start taking the throbber seriously again. We're going to go back to every single Friday at 5 o 'clock being an absolute ripper. Return of the Jews. The return of the Jews, they're calling it.

17:20Keyzie:In the meantime, here's a bit of news for you.

17:25Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki.

17:29Keyzie:Yes, indeed, Push Push there on the Hauraki Big Show. So, hey, this Sunday is going to be a big day for the fellas because this is happening. Come dine with the feelers.

17:44Mike Minogue:This is the first official one. Hoity J hosted us a few months ago. We all went around for dinner. It was lovely. It was really lovely. All of our partners, and then we gave him scores. But that was like a practice run. You didn't really get a proper warning, Jase? No. Well, we literally came up with the idea after we'd been around at Jase's place. So, no, you didn't get a fair run, Jase. That's right. So we've decided to start again. Each of us, including pugs, will host everyone with their partners. You have to issue a menu beforehand. You will then host a dinner party and you will serve entree, main, and dessert.

18:14Mike Minogue:Mogey, you were first drawn out of the hat and that is this Sunday. That's right. So today I'm going to tell you what the menu is. Oh, exciting. Now keep in mind that I'm having to do all of the cooking. My wife's not having a bar of it. Now that might change. So on the day, don't say, oh, you said you wasn't, you know. No. This is the position that she's had at this stage. I'm not going to take any glory. No, but you're very much the head chef. I am. It'll be the same when I host. My wife's like, I don't want to bar her that, but she might help me out dicing a few things here and there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:42Jolly good. Well, I'm going to be very critical of the dicing and the slicing when I get to your place here, Keezy. Anyway, the entree, fellas. All right, here we go.

18:54A selection of chippies with kiwi onion dip. Yes.

18:59Keyzie:That is great stuff. I'm fizzing about that.

19:03Mike Minogue:I love onion dip. It's a classic. It is a Kiwi classic. I know, Woody J, you love your chips, mate. I love them, mate. And I love a dip. Now, the thing that I'm going to be doing with these chips, and just to spice them up a little bit, is I'm going to be hiding them in different parts of the house. Oh, yeah. So Woody J gets an opportunity to go in and steal them because I know they taste better when you feel like you've stolen them, Jase. No, honestly, the opening, the entree is going to be handcrafted house-made dumplings. Oh, wow. So it's not just chips? No, it's not chips at all. Oh. But there might be some chips here for you to fill up on, Keezy, because I know that you get hungry.

19:39But the main entree is going to be homemade handcrafted dumplings. Yum. Okay. Yeah, good. The main.

19:47Mike Minogue:Okay, the main.

19:51It's going to be a traditional Chinese shared hot pot feast. Oh, yeah, now you're talking. Now, this is risky for me because I've never been to a restaurant and had a hot pot. Right. So I don't even know what it involves. Yes. But I'm certainly not a veteran, as you are, Hoity J, and even you, Keezy, of such experiences. So it could potentially be a disaster here.

20:14Mike Minogue:Not only is it tough because you've never had one, Hoity J has had about 100 in the last month. Exactly my point. He's addicted to them. That's right. So he knows a good one when he tastes it. So we're going to find out how that goes. But, you know, look, what I like about a hot pot is the communal experience there as well. Everybody's sitting around, you know, inverted commas, making their own thing. But, yeah, I've been to a couple at mates places and they've been a really fun evening. So, Jase, you're a hot pot expert at this point. Well. You know, when Mogi says he's going to have a crack at making one, what's your sort of reaction to that?

20:45Keyzie:I'm very excited by that. That'll be great. And likewise, actually, Mogi, my wife and I have been to mates places where we've done a hot pot, and it is a great social occasion. Yes. Looking forward to it. And finally, fellas, of course, three courses, and you've got to have your dessert. So it'll be a frozen indulgence. The reason why I'm saying that is because I know what I'm going to do, but I don't know if the things that I want to do it with are in season. Right. So I've got to get to different shops and find out if they're there, and if not, I'm going to have to make a few adjustments. Some sort of frozen indulgence.

21:29Frozen indulgence, which will involve a fruit of some sort. Right, okay. I'm not so keen on that.

21:36Keyzie:No, that sounds great.

21:37Mike Minogue:That sounds awesome. When you say communal hot pot, will it be one big cauldron? You're just going to have to wait and see, mate. Just be patient, Keezy. Yeah, no, I'm excited. Of course we will be covering that on social media and doing a full review and scores etc on the show next week And fellas there will be entertainment Oh my goodness I think you're going to find it very very interesting Oh my god I hope Officer Mogi comes out

22:04Keyzie:Here's the black keys

22:08Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki

22:18Keyzie:It's the Hauraki Big Show's Friday Throbber. Dish Dish. What is a Friday Throbber, I hear you ask? Well, the fellows in the studio, we each pick a song to kick off your Friday night celebrations. Heading into the weekend, then you give us a call on 0800 Hauraki and vote for your favourite tune, First to Two Wins.

22:40Mike Minogue:That's right, and we've been accused of being pretty average the last few months, and I'm going to say it's been weighed down by Hoity J. It's been like swimming with an anchor, just refusing to give any kind of effort into choosing a decent song. The people have had enough. They've spoken, Jase, and you have vowed to restore honour to the throbber and choose big tunes. Yeah, man. Good on you, mate. Thank you. I'll go first if that's right, fellas. Kesey, can you do me a favour here, man, and just crank this up? Sure, man. Just crank it up, man.

23:25Mike Minogue:That is a trotter, isn't it, Nirvana? It is very vigorous, isn't it? Breed from Nirvana. She's an absolute tune. She is a tune, to be honest. It's probably one of my favourite Nirvana songs. Fellas, these guys are in the country soon. People are going to be fizzed up. and this song right here will be one that they're most excited to see.

24:00Mike Minogue:System of a Down, B-Way O-B.

24:08Mike Minogue:That is a couple of absolute tunes, fellas We're back,

24:13Keyzie:baby We're back Bring us home, Jase I'm going to bring you home, fellas Here we go, this is a tune You could be happy And I won't know But you weren't happy the day I Now you're talking Watched you go Yeah, boy!

24:39Mike Minogue:What is this shit? What is this? Who is this?

24:43Keyzie:Snow Patrol, man! They are! I tell you what, fellas Hang on a minute, there might be a drop here, Keith

24:50Mike Minogue:It sounds like a lullaby Was it too late to remind you? Oh, no. Was that the drop?

25:01Keyzie:It's peaking there. Was that the drop? I tell you what, that is three bangers right there. That is shithouse. And you, the people, get to decide on 0800 Hodaki. Give us a call. Woo! Yeah, boy. Now you're talking. Here's Oasis.

25:20Mike Minogue:Get him out of here on 3483. Kick Hoyt off the segment. Can we do a Hoytij free thromber and replace him with pugs? I agree. That's disgraceful, Jase. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

25:36Keyzie:It's the Hauraki Big Show's Friday throbber. Doosh, doosh. Baby, it's back. It is back, baby. Three absolute... Jase, what are you doing? Bangers.

25:52Mike Minogue:Absolute bangers. You are fuming at what you've done to the throbber, and you've come back and you've doubled down on it. You've picked one of the biggest shitters of all time. That is a chit. Well, I don't think the people on the text machine agree, Jase. Are you okay, Jase? Get him out of there. Kick Hoyt off this segment. You're sick, Jase. If you're sad, Jase, I'm here to talk. Kea kaha. If you guys did the big shitter every Monday, Jase would be undefeated. I agree. Well, look, for those who have just joined, let's play the clips again Mogi you chose a hell of a tune thanks mate oh yeah it's got everything in there it's got the drums it's got the guitar

26:41Mike Minogue:that is Nirvana absolute tune very similar to the tune that I chose as well coming to the country soon System of a Down

27:02Mike Minogue:That is BYOB. Yeah, boy. And of course, Jase, what was the name of your shitter?

27:09Keyzie:You Could Be Happy, I think it's called.

27:12Mike Minogue:By who?

27:13Keyzie:Snow Patrol. Oh, yeah. You could be happy. I won't know That is such a shit It's the worst one you've ever chosen Let's go to the calls and let the people decide G'day Brendan you mad bastard How are you going? Good afternoon team I'm well thank you Yourself? Yeah good thanks mate What are you running with there Brendan? Oh it's a tough one I thought I was listening to Crazy Kids for a second with your disaster of a song. Correct.

27:49Mike Minogue:As much as I love it, Snow Patrol is not as good as System or Nirvana, but I think I'm going to have to go with Mogi's Nirvana. Nirvana, all right. Because it's a good way to finish Friday. Absolutely, mate. It's probably more of a Sunday go to sleep song. You're 100 % Brendan, you're bang on there, brother, so that's one vote for Mogi.

28:10Keyzie:G'day Matt, you mad bastard. How's life?

28:13Mike Minogue:Yeah, pretty good, Hoi, how are you?

28:15Keyzie:Yeah, good thanks, mate. What are you running with there, Matty? I'm going to go with Easy the Mad Bar. Good on you, Matt.

28:22Mike Minogue:And just quickly, what are your thoughts on Hoity J's song? I actually thought it was like an alarm clock going off. Yeah, 100%. Nice and soft and just lulls the air. Wakes you up, doesn't it? Yes. Wakes you up. That's true. Good on you, Matt. Thanks for playing, mate. All right, so one all between me and Mogi.

28:40Keyzie:Big red, you mad bastard. How's life?

28:43Mike Minogue:Oh, not bad, Hoity J. How are you, mate?

28:46Keyzie:Yeah, good, thanks, mate. What are you running with there, Big Red?

28:49Mike Minogue:I just want to say, mate, Horty Jizz, I love you, but that's a shocker, mate. Thank you, Big Red. And I'm going to go with Mogi because he's a shocker, but. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, Big Red, mate. You have a good weekend.

29:04Keyzie:I really thought I was in there, but OK.

29:08Mike Minogue:Seriously, I think we ban him for one week. Oh, yeah. I mean, I think now's not the time, but let's come back and have a chat. Yeah, we have to discuss something because, Jase, you're just taking the piss, mate, at this stage. At least we get to listen to a great tune. It's Breed, Nirvana, your Throbber winner. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

29:31Keyzie:Yes, indeed, Nirvana there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Friday afternoon. The time is 17 minutes past 5 o 'clock.

29:38Mike Minogue:Yeah, if you've just joined us, Mogi's just won another Throbber. He's now on 13 wins for the year. I'm on 10 with an asterisk. Hoity J is on five with two asterisks and a small D. And he's taking the piss because he promised to once again choose an absolute banger and revive the throbber. Restore glory. Boy, did I deliver. You chose this song. You could be happy. By Snow Patrol, which is the most down-buzz song I've ever heard in my life.

30:04Keyzie:I mean, we all want to be happy on a Friday, don't we, Keezy? Chase.

30:08Mike Minogue:So it begs the question, and Pugs is in the studio with us. G'day, Pugs.

30:12Keyzie:It's Pugs on.

30:15Mike Minogue:Gizzy, Mogi, how are you, mate? Backbone. Backbone to you. And hoody Jay. Sorry. No, Jay, it's because you don't deserve Pugs to say hi to you. You don't deserve a lovely hello. Yeah, because you've spat all over one of the all-time big show segments.

30:32Keyzie:Look, I've got to be honest with you, fellas. I'm baffled. And I don't know what's going on here.

30:38Mike Minogue:Even right now, you're taking the piss.

30:40Keyzie:If there is some sort of conspiracy going on behind the scenes, that was a tune. You know, he's been something of an imp here. He's been a bit mischievous, a bit of a larrikin, creating a little bit of havoc there. Old Naughty Jay. Naughty Jay. And so I think we, you know, if he's not going to take it seriously, and you're not, Jase, fair enough, mate, but we just have to make a decision for the benefit of the listeners about what our next steps are going to be.

31:10Mike Minogue:I do fear, g'day fellas, I do fear that... Oh, g'day pugs. I do fear that punishment is not the right approach here. Part of me sort of thinks, you know, it needs to be more rehabilitative. Right. Because, you know, punishment doesn't seem to be working. Also, just while I'm here, a lovely Instagram follower who was one of the people that complained about Jason's throbber, Sam Ferguson, awarded the flowers, got some sent in to the show. So those are for you, Moggy, as the winner of the throbber. So he intended them to be for Jase if Jase finally pulled through. And he also sent a nice card that said, what's on the mail with me, Keezy?

31:45So he actually gave us a few hours because we were going to actually go back to doing good throbbers. And boy, did we deliver.

31:56Keyzie:And look, I'll take it on board. Well deserved, Mogi. That was a tune.

32:02Mike Minogue:Mogi, this listener is so passionate about the throbber and what the throbber used to mean, that he sent in flowers to the winner, assuming they go to you and you've let him down again. How can you do this?

32:13Keyzie:I would never be so bold as to assume that I would win it. I was confident, yes. Well, Jase, it's funny that you can be so off-piste here because text on 3483, Jase should be banned from the throbber for the rest of the year is one of them that's come in. I'm pretty sure we just found Hoity Jizz out in the back paddock with his head stuck in the fence on the last of his spindly legs. you wouldn't do it to your dog it's time to get rid of him and there's similar in that sort of vein so I think we probably have to we have to look at a band but I don't think it should be up to us I think at some point we need to do a definitely before next week's role absolutely

32:52Mike Minogue:is Jace banned and I think if he was to be banned it's about like how long would that be Pugs I'm in favour of you coming in and taking his place I appreciate that also that you could almost have you two versus the audience if you wanted to as well that could be a good idea but we'll definitely discuss it. Yeah, we'll discuss it next week. Well, I'm flummoxed. Jase, for example, this song here. Is this a throbber? Oh, yeah. Now you're talking.

33:17Keyzie:So you know that this is a throbber. Yeah, mate. This is a great tune. I mean, it's no Snow Patrol.

33:22Mike Minogue:Oh, get out of here. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. It's Beer and Pie July on Radio Hauraki.

33:34Keyzie:I feel a little sad, fellas. It's our last one of the year. Yeah. It's been so great, hasn't it, giving away cash, cash, cash?

33:44Mike Minogue:Well, the good thing about Hodaki Chase is that we'll have more cash prizes and other exciting stuff after this. Oh, that's true, man. How many pies have you had this month, Keezy? To be honest, not as many as I usually would have. I reckon maybe 10.

33:57Keyzie:Yeah.

33:58Mike Minogue:Worst traditionally.

33:59Keyzie:No, not today. I mean over the whole time. Oh, good one, Jase.

34:05Mike Minogue:Honestly, in my first year of working at Hodaki during Bear and Pie July, I reckon I was averaging at least one, two a day. Yes.

34:12Keyzie:Well, it's very hard not to, isn't it, when you've got an air fryer and pies in the fridge?

34:15Mike Minogue:Well, back in the day, they used to have a pie warmer there constantly full of pies. Yes. It was ridiculous. But we've got$250 cash to give away thanks to Dad's Pies, who proudly bake award-winning pies for pie-loving New Zealanders.

34:28Keyzie:Yeah, good stuff. Let's go to the phone lines. G'day, Scotty. you mad bastard. How's life? Oh, it's pretty bloody good now. Good on you, mate. Here he is. Tell me, Scotty, what do you do for a crust? I'm a mechanical engineer. Oh, yeah, backbone. Backbone. Backbone. We're having a bit of a break there, Scotty. What's the pie you're running with? Oh, the old harrowky pie, the old steak and jalapeno cheese. Oh, yeah, that's good, eh? That's bloody good. That was really bloody good. It's a great addition. They're still running it, Jase. Yes. Yeah, yeah.

34:57Mike Minogue:100%. Hey, Scotty, what are you up to for the weekend, man? I'm just preparing myself for a week down in Nelson next week. Oh, yeah. What does that actually involve doing? Probably next to nothing.

35:12Keyzie:Good on you, mate. Well, you'll have$250 cash. How does that sound?

35:18Mike Minogue:Oh, that's bloody awesome, man.

35:20Keyzie:Good on you, man. Good on you, brother.

35:21Mike Minogue:You have a lovely weekend, mate, and enjoy Nelson, all right? You too, mate. All right, brother. Hold the line. Hold next to nothing. I love the honesty from old Scotty there. Big shout out to Dad's Pies for making Beer and Pie July possible this year and giving us all that cash to give away. Totally. And another big shout out to UK comedian Alan Davies, fellas, who's coming in next for a chat ahead of his live show tour. I'm going tomorrow night. Bloody excited.

35:46Keyzie:Bloody good stuff.

35:50Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

35:56Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope your Friday's absolutely going off. You're listening to The Big Show, by the way, brought to you by Reburger.

36:06Mike Minogue:Handcrafted burgers, loaded fries, and gourmet eats that will change the game. Scrumdedly-umptious.

36:12Keyzie:Takeaway Friday for tonight in the Mogi household, is it? Or maybe homemade? I don't actually know what's going on. It's always a little bit of a surprise. I'm trying to stay away. In fact, we are trying to stay away from takeaways. Sure. And the like, you know what I mean? It's just frivolous spending, Hoity J. We're on a bit of a saving bed. We've got a holiday coming up. Yes. So I want to pay for that. So I don't know what it'll be, actually. Although I got home last night, and what was it? Some chickpea abomination. I cannot abide a chickpea. I really can't, especially when that's the centre of your meal.

36:45Because we're on a bit of a vego run at the moment. It's a supporting character.

36:49Keyzie:The only time I'll abide a chickpea is if it's roasted. Yeah, I mean, it makes a very nutty, crunchy texture to whatever it is else you're eating. Sure, but the problem is if it's right in the middle of everything, it's like, ah, surely. I don't mind a curry. Yes. A chickpea curry in some description, but even then I'm a bit.

37:11Mike Minogue:Yeah, a chickpea is like a lentil or something. It shouldn't be the main star of the show.

37:15Keyzie:It's very good if you put a very spicy sort of herb on it and then roast it. The only time I like it is if it's roasted, a bit of a herb on there, and it's the main part of the dish. I don't like it being off to the side there. Sure, sure.

37:26Mike Minogue:Have you ever had one on your face, Jase?

37:28Keyzie:What, a chickpea? I think I have, actually. My wife's actually said to me, oh, you've got a chickpea on your thing there. Oh, yeah, right. What are you having for dinner, Kesey?

37:40Mike Minogue:We're going to a Sichuan restaurant. My wife and I are catching up with a friend after this. We'll do some frivolous spending there because we're kind of in like a spend all our money buzz at the moment. Yeah, yeah. Well, you're rolling in it. Yeah, I'm rolling in it, so I thought we'd do that. Jase, what about you, man?

37:53Keyzie:Yeah, well, look, I'm on a massive spending buzz. So we'll just go wander around the city. What about here?

37:59Mike Minogue:Just dropping cash.

38:00Keyzie:Yeah, dropping cash and da-doosh. So good. Dropping cash and da-doosh. Yeah, the hoity-jay method. The first thing I do when I walk into a restaurant is just, you know, drop a$100 bill on the counter before I even ordered anything. Then I do the...

38:17Mike Minogue:Here's Nevada. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

38:25Keyzie:Sissamava down there on the Hauraki big show this Friday evening. Now, of course, we've talked about it a little bit over the last few days. The first come dine with me with old Moogie.

38:35Mike Minogue:Come dine with the fellas.

38:36Keyzie:With the fellas. Come dine with the fellas. And we had a bit of a chat about this on the podcast outro, so go and check that out. And Moogie, you've been working hard there, giving it a great deal of thought. Now, is there anything that you need us to bring is one of the questions I need to ask. That is a great question. No, generally speaking, I would say no. Just bring yourselves, right? But any guest knows that you always bring something. Yeah, that's true. You know what I mean? So, you know, in Keezy's case, last time he came to your place, he brought a whole selection of breads, meats, and cheeses.

39:13I mean, that's going a little bit beyond. And what did we use for most of the meal?

39:18Mike Minogue:Yeah. The stuff I brought.

39:22Keyzie:Actually, could you bring them again when I'm doing it again, Kesey?

39:25Mike Minogue:I also brought a really big bottle of red wine. Yes. Should I bring wine? Well, yeah, I mean, I think, look, and this is not for me, but I would never go around to somebody's house empty-handed. Totally. You know? Normally I've got – oh, no, I won't say that. I'm really curious, though. Yes. So, yeah, I mean, yeah, but certainly you won't need anything and all things will be provided. But, yeah, I mean, look, you guys are growing. It's a common courtesy. It's a common courtesy.

39:52Keyzie:It's very nice to bring some. Oh, don't you worry about it, mate. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll be bringing something with bells on. I'll tell you what, something that would be really useful would be cash. Oh, yes. You know, people often bring, you know, wines and breads, getting Kesey's case. People often bring chocolate, something like that. Cash. A koha. Yeah, a koha would be good. How it likes are, 20 bucks? Well, you know, you get them warmer. Yeah. Better than five. But certainly, I mean, as you say, Keezer, you've got a lot of money hanging around at the moment that you're trying to get rid of. So why not share it for somebody who's put in so much effort?

40:26Okay. Okay?

40:27Keyzie:And to be honest with you, fella, I mean, I was in the supermarket today and I was like, jeez, Louise, you are kidding. When did it start costing that much, said I? So she ain't cheap feeding all that group of people. No. So I'll be slipping a couple of hundy just to, you know.

40:45Mike Minogue:But at the same time, when it comes time for you to feed us, do you want us to pay you as well? Yes. Okay, so I can charge you guys when I'm feeding everyone.

40:53Keyzie:And actually just – Why don't we just all say no cash? Slightly different from Mogey, I'd prefer that you paid me before you came over.

41:02Mike Minogue:Do you want me to – I'll show up to Mogey's with$200 cash. I'll give him$100 and you$100.

41:07Keyzie:Oh, okay. Yeah, no, that's good. Sounds good, TZ. I love how you had to think about that.

41:13Mike Minogue:Question, should I show up ravenous? Well, certainly it's going to be, you shouldn't need your dinner, Keezy. Like you're coming over for a meal. There's three courses, for God's sake. And are you picturing me having had breakfast and maybe a light snack at lunchtime? Because it's at 2.30 when we're arriving. I'm picturing you eating three courses. I'm telling you that you're eating three courses and you're a grown man, so you can do whatever you want. I mean, that's entirely up to you. So if you're too full, there'll be enough food there, certainly, for you to eat.

41:40Keyzie:And just on, I've known Kesey for a very, very long time. Five years. He's never been too full. Well, there'll be, you know, what I know he's going to need, and so I've got this as a backup, is a loaf of white bread with some margarine. Margarine.

41:53Mike Minogue:Yeah, not butter, margarine. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

41:59Keyzie:Yes, indeed, Faith No More there on the Hauraki Big Show this Friday evening. Now, fellas, all week we've been running a competition with a good bass. It's at Haera Hubby. If you need some stuff done around the house, they're the fellas for the job. And we've got a$1 ,000 voucher to give away, don't we?

42:17Mike Minogue:Certainly do, Jase. $1 ,000 worth of hire a hubby vouchers. That's enough to get big jobs done. The way it worked is you text hubby to 3483. And then after that, well, that's funny. No, man, that's all we've done. We've been doing this all week, man. He's still saying hobby. It's hubby, Keaton. It's hubby, yeah. Hire a hubby. I thought it was hire a hubby. Hire a hubby. You've texted hubby to 3483. You tell us details of the job you need doing, and then we randomly select someone and call them back. We've had building planter boxes. We've had roofing. We've had painting, retaining walls. A replica of the Eiffel Tower in some of his backyard.

42:52Mike Minogue:I don't remember that. Yeah, no, I don't think that was one. But we had heaps of stuff coming through, and we've randomly chosen someone, fellas, and he's on the line with us right now.

43:02Keyzie:G'day. Is this Jeremy, is it? That's the one. Yeah, g'day, Jeremy. Yeah, it's Hoity J, Moogie and Old Keezy from the Big Show. How are you going, Jeremy? Yeah, good, good, you mad bastard. What's going on? Yeah, good on you, mate. Not much, man, not much. It seems like you've entered this competition and maybe you need a bit of work done around the place. What's the task that you need doing there, Jeremy?

43:25Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah, the missus has been on to me for a front fence for the last four years. Oh! You know what you've got to do, man. Get rid of your missus.

43:35Keyzie:Yeah, that's the one.

44:21Mike Minogue:You hold the line, mate, and Pug's arm will sort you out, all right? Thanks, mate. Good on you, Jeremy.

44:26Keyzie:Good on you there. You sounded like a bit of a backbone, old Jeremy, didn't you? What a fella. What a fella.

44:38Keyzie:Beautiful.

44:39Mike Minogue:Monkey wrench? Yeah! That's, you know, that's relevant because it's a tool in that. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

44:49Keyzie:Tom Petty there on the Hauraki Big Show this Friday evening. Fellas, how do you feel about giving out some advice for the weekend? I love that.

44:56Mike Minogue:Be pretty nip 69 at Gmail.com. Get in touch with the fellas. Can I say it's a very hard thing to not sing along to? It's very catchy. It is. It's very hard.

45:11Keyzie:With the fellas. Thank you.

45:13Mike Minogue:It is a real email address, folks. MeetPattyNips69 at gmail.com. Please do get in touch. It's anonymous, and if we read it on the show, you get a prize and also a reminder ahead of this one that it is genuinely for advice if you want it to be. Yes. This one comes from Anonymous. G'day, fellas. This might be a bit too serious for MeetPattyNips69, but nevertheless, it could be something that might resonate with some of the other mad bastards out there. So here goes. I'm currently having a bit of trouble with the old bearsies. Been using the bears to take the edge off and for some stress relief after a hard day on the building site for the last decade.

45:44Mike Minogue:I have a good job, a beautiful, loving family, absolutely nothing to complain about at all. However, I feel this is starting to get a bit out of hand and have decided I really need to kick this habit. Yeah. Been drawing inspiration from your backbones lately on how you've been kicking your habits. Jase, nice work cutting back the darts. No darts anymore. Heaps of vaping. I don't know if he deserves any credit. No darts. Mogi, nice work cutting on the darts and beers. Wow. Well, although I did do the first five months of the year, in fairness, and now it's been another two weeks. Keezy, nice work cutting on the darts, beers, and monkey porn.

46:20Mike Minogue:And Pugs, just nice work all around. My first attempt, I made it two days with no beersies, but couldn't get past the third. I'm going to keep trying hard, but would love some encouragement and advice. Love your work, guys. Five buzzies out of five. Cheers Anonymous Yeah look I think there is and it is a serious question but I think there is a real lack of self examination for a lot of people when it comes to how much piss they drink and I think for me what I do every year is I try and do at least three months off and sometimes longer but the reason why I've always done it is because I need to know that I've got power over the things that can be addictive in my life so booze is certainly one of them smoking is another one And I think you get a lot of people when you start trying to give up.

47:04They're, what are you doing, man? Have a beer and all that sort of stuff. And I think the reason why people say that is because they wouldn't be able to give up themselves. Yes. I think if you can't give up something for a month, then you have got a serious addiction problem and you need to take a serious look at it. And you need to, if you've tried multiple times and you can't do it, then you need to seriously look at getting some people to help you with that. Because I don't think you should have anything in your life that has that kind of control over you, especially this dude who's saying, man, I've got to kick this because it's probably costing heaps of money, you're probably not feeling your best the next day, your family's suffering a little bit, your work's suffering a little bit, all these sorts of things.

47:48And you're saying to yourself, I need to be able to give up and you can't last longer than two days. You already know because you're sending us the email, man, that you probably need some help with it. And I recommend you reach out to someone. 100%. Yes.

47:59Keyzie:And there's plenty of places where you can get that help as well. And, you know, the really interesting thing is too is that people often don't like you giving up or support you giving up because often, you know, you're covering for their drinking. It's a reflection on them. It's like, well, if old mate's given up, then I have to look at how I'm drinking. Yes. And they can't do it. And this is the thing. I get so many people saying, I don't know how you do it. I could never give up for a month. It's like, well, if that's true, then that's a problem. Totally. That's really a problem. So for me, the hump I always have to get over is the first weekend.

48:40If I can get past the first weekend, it's always easier because by that point I've got five or seven days behind me. And once you get a bit of a streak on, man, you don't want to bugger up that streak. And the other thing I'll say is, and you sound like you've got an addictive personality, replace that drinking with something else. So replace it with fitness, some kind of exercise, something else. Set a goal. So that you can take your mind off that thing and be setting goals and get addicted to something that is positive in your life.

49:10Keyzie:And to quote a very famous quote, that it's been out there for a very long time, take it one day at a time. because you don't want to be projecting ahead and going, oh, God, what am I going to do about when we get together with my mates and blah, blah, blah? Just concentrate on the day that you're in. That's all you need to do. There is always an event. There is always a reason to drink, and that will never, ever change. And just know that if you go to these things, you don't have to drink. You're not missing out on anything at all. And all you have to keep in your mind is if I don't have one sip, then I'm fine because one sip is followed by a thousand.

49:50Keyzie:Can I just say on that front too, what you'll often find too is you'll go there and you're saying you're not drinking, but often you'll find and realise there's actually quite a few other people not drinking. Yeah. But when you're sucking back the piss, you don't really notice that. And you go, oh, God, you don't stand out like dog's bollocks. You know what I mean? You're going to be all right, mate. Just get stuck into it. And stay in touch. Yes. Hit me up on my Instagram as well if you want to have it. I talk to a lot of people like this on Instagram that have got this kind of stuff going on.

50:18so hit me up on Instagram and I'll do whatever I can.

50:21Mike Minogue:Good on you, mate. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

50:33Keyzie:Well, there you go, you mad bastards. That's the big show done and dusted for your Friday and indeed for the week. And the podcast throughout outro today, I can never bloody remember, fellas, to be honest, but what's the clip you've got, Keezy?

50:45Mike Minogue:It's because it was three hours ago, Jase. Yeah, true. Oh, yeah. This is actually the podcast outro delved quite deep into the social media scandal that rocked the big show last night. Oh, yes. It comes out at 7.30 tonight, but here's a clip. And he shows his phone to me and he's like, stop sending me this stuff. And so I reached over and double tapped it and liked it. Now, I have had three people message me on Instagram being like, can you tell Hoody J that everyone could see the stuff he's liked? Yeah, I think, did you send that through Pugs? There was a screenshot of it. Oh, I put it in the group chat.

51:17Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. That was the first. I've had two more since then. Oh, how good. Isn't it funny that it feeds it to people? That's f***ing gold. So you just f***ing know it.

51:26Keyzie:That's so funny. Keezy's just... He's an absolute menace. I mean, come on, man. What? Jeez, Lee. Just bad to do with the fellas. Shock and bastard. From what I understand, a bit of food prep tomorrow, Mogey, over the weekend. Then you'll have the fellas over and the partners should be good. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I've got, what have I got? There's a bit of NPC on at the moment, which I'm keen to. Oh, has it started up again, has it? It started up last night. Oh, great.

51:51Mike Minogue:Not only has it started up, every single game is free to wear on TVNZ and TVNZ+. That's right. So you can get into that. And the WARS tomorrow night, which I'm excited about, a hell of a game last night, Keezy, there. I think the final score, 82 points to 10. The most scored since the 30s. Who was that? The Roosters flogged the Cowboys. The Cowboys were at home. The third largest score in the history of rugby league and the largest in the NRL era by some stretch. So absolute shameful performance there. So fingers crossed we go better than that tomorrow night.

52:26Keyzie:That's a hiding. I've got a feeling the Wales will do pretty good because they'll be pretty filthy with themselves after the last game, I reckon.

52:33Mike Minogue:I hope so, Jase. I'm still nervous. We're playing the Titans, and historically they have had one or two upsets on us. So I don't want to say anything. Right, OK. I'm going out for dinner, catching up with friends. and then working through the weekend fellas but I tell you what it's worth because the light at the end of the tunnel is Mogies come dine with me on Sunday Arbo how are you doing?

52:51Keyzie:yeah just oh we're going to a gig tonight oh yeah you are and then you know we'll have our normal sacti just cruising around the place doing little bits and pieces and then Mogies on Sunday yeah boy hey you take care out there check out the podcasts check out the Instagram till Monday goodbye Bye.
