11:52Mike Minogue:This one's good G'day fellas the most romantic thing I ever did was get divorced.

12:01Keyzie:Well, actually, you know, sometimes the act of letting go is the most beautiful thing you can do in a relationship.

12:09Mike Minogue:Do you mean ripping ass or getting divorced? Both. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. The Sons of Hauraki. Gotta live this life. Let's see who wants to ride with the street dogs.

12:25Keyzie:The street dogs being us feels.

12:28Mike Minogue:Yeah, the Sons of Hodaki.

12:29Keyzie:Yeah, man, hardcore. It's actually kind of confusing because the Sons of Hodaki is the name of the gang,

12:34Mike Minogue:but the street dogs are the bikes. Yeah. The electric motorcycles.

12:38Keyzie:Yeah, and they're bloody good too. Hey, incidentally, I believe the last one's going to be drawn on Friday morning on Breakfast. That's right. The Breakfast Show. The second or two, we drew one last week, and God, Cain was absolutely thrilled. Absolutely thrilled, wasn't he, Jase? Massively so, man. Massively so. And why wouldn't you be? It's an amazing, amazing, brand new electric motorbike. It runs on electricity, Kesey. I don't know if you understand that, man. Is that what that means? Yeah. I didn't realise what that meant. Yes. It's like lightning. Same sort of principle as lightning.

13:10Mike Minogue:Lightning in a bottle. Lightning in a bike. FTN Motion is the name of the company. New Zealand-owned, operated, and the bikes are built here in New Zealand as well. Yes. FTN Motion's street dogs. There's two to choose from. you've got the Street Dog 50 if you've just got your car license. Oh, yes. Sort of like having a scooter. You can ride that on your car license. Yes. Zing, zing. What was that? Zing, zing. What was that? Just going from A to B.

13:36Keyzie:Zing, zing.

13:37Mike Minogue:On a scooter? Yeah. Yeah, because the Street Dog's obviously silent. Yeah. And then if you've got your motorbike license, you go for the Street Dog XR, the big fella. But let's go to the lines, eh?

13:46Keyzie:Okay. Sure, man. G'day, Matt, you mad bastard. How's life? Oh, g'day, boys. Pretty good, yeah. Good on you, mates and dear. What do you do for a crust, Matt? Oh, man, I'm a humble sparky. Oh, bloody. You keep the lights on, mate. You keep the lights on.

14:01Mike Minogue:Are you humble because you're shit?

14:04Keyzie:Yeah, you say that.

14:06Mike Minogue:Guys, he's so humble, eh? Yeah, man. Massively. Hey, Matt, do you think that sparkies have a place in any motorbike gang? Especially with an electric bike, I'd say. Yeah, I think so, man. Yeah, good point. Good point, man. In case we want to plug a lamp into it or something. Yeah, yeah, totally. Matt could help us out. All right, Matt, you're in the draw, mate. You hold the line okay? Legends, cheers.

14:26Keyzie:Thanks, mate. Who are we going? Oh, g'day, Max, you mad bastard. How's life? Yeah, g'day, guys. How are you? Yeah, good, mate. Thanks, mate. It's beautiful. What are you doing? How's Scoti old Tauranga today? Oh, well, I'm a bit offended that you call it Scoti, but it's bloody beautiful here. The sun's out and there's not a lot of cloud around. Jeezy, a defensive match, man? Yeah, I really... Bloody hell. I don't know if we want you in our gang if you've got this kind of a temper on you, man. Yeah, if he's going to fire up like that. I mean, come on, man. No, I mean, seriously, Toadonga, beautiful spot.

15:03Mike Minogue:Yeah, sure, Jase. Max, the reason he's saying that is because he knows I'm from Toadonga and he knows I fire up as well, mate. Have you ever been in a gang before? No, I haven't. No. Okay. All right.

15:13Keyzie:Big chance for you, Max. Huge chance.

15:15Mike Minogue:Did we ask Max what he did for a crust?

15:17Keyzie:No.

15:18Mike Minogue:I'm a parts warehouse manager. Oh, yeah. What kind of puns? I look after Isuzu trucks. Oh, the old bad team. Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff, mate.

15:31Keyzie:Good on you, Max. You sound the line, and Pugsam will look after you as well, mate.

15:35Mike Minogue:Perfect. Thank you, guys. Thanks, man. Don't seem like a backbone. Once again, running out of chances to get yourself in the draw to win one of these street dog electric motorbikes. Yeah. Your best bet is to stay listening to Radio Hauraki. Plenty more cue to calls. That's the trick, man. And then get ready to call 0800 ODACI. How stoked would you be, Keezy, man, if you want one of these bastards? Me personally? I'd be bloody stoked. I want one, eh? I've decided I actually want one. I was thinking maybe I didn't want one. But now I think I do want one. I don't know about Mogi on a motorbike. Well, the alternative I've got is I've got to pay for parking.

16:08Because you know when you go to your office in that Keezy, you need to have parking. They charge you a bloody arm and a leg. But you still have to pay for motorbike parking. No, I'll just sneak it in there, man. Just sneak it in there. Zing, zing. I put it in the old elevator there.

16:20Mike Minogue:It's not what it sounds like, Jase. It's silent. To be honest, I was working on my motorbike this morning. It took me about five minutes to start the bloody thing, which one of these, you literally just push a button and go. That's the trick, man. It's ridiculous. It's electric. As long as it's charged up, of course. Oh, if it's flat, you're bugging. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

16:37Keyzie:Hey, there's Cage the Elephant.

16:40Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

16:44Keyzie:Push, push there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday. afternoon fellas let's talk TV What's on the telly with Mike Minogue Yeah Woo Over the weekend fellas I watched a film on Netflix called Ladies First stars Sasha Baron Cohen Rosamund Pike both Academy Award nominees Charles Dance is in it as well it's a comedy about a guy who's a bit of a misogynist. He runs an advertising agency. He's a real gun. But he's all about, you know, just being a ladies' man. Let's put it that way. Sasha Baroncona, of course, was Borat and L-E-G. Rosamund Pike, who was in Gongu. I think that's what she got nominated for and a bunch of other stuff.

17:37Very good. This is your classic Netflix terrible movie. Absolute garbage. Unwatchable. Should never have been made. Why are they in it? Zero stars. don't watch it I don't know how it gets made I honestly don't absolute shit I was told by just an absolute disgrace of a movie nothing funny about it terrible performances looks like garbage cookie cutter the worst thing about entertainment and it is just happening more and more disgraceful and they should be ashamed for being in it that's how bad it is

18:08Keyzie:fair enough man zero buzzies I mean you don't zero you don't get any harsher than that Kesey

18:13Mike Minogue:I was told by some people recently that it was actually really entertaining yeah I know But they were steamed. Yeah, and I think people, you get used to it. I think certainly people that were sort of born mid-90s and sort of early 2000s, it'll just be normal for them watching this stuff. They'll think this stuff is good. Right. Because they've not watched any of the stuff that was sort of going around before that, which was actually good. So in terms of sitting on the couch and mostly looking at Instagram, five buzzies out of five buzzies. Unbeatable.

18:43Keyzie:Fellas, unfortunately, I don't have much to contribute. I had friends over for dinner last night, so we didn't do the old TV.

18:50Mike Minogue:What time did you make them leave?

18:51Keyzie:And my memory doesn't go back far enough beyond a day. Well, what about you spent a bit of time on the iPad last night? Oh, yeah, but that was in bed. Wait, no, you meant the Sky Tower button. I meant the Sky Tower. Oh, the iPad, yes. It was funny you should say that, Keezy, because we finished our meal, chicken marabella, very good. And I went to do the plates, and then I had Keezy's voice in the back of my head going, and then Hoity J was going to grab the plates I hadn't even finished eating. So I went, no.

19:21Mike Minogue:Well, what happened is, if you're talking about the come dine with me at your place, your wife said, please, everyone have seconds. I don't want any leftovers. At which point you stood up and collected everyone's plates. Yeah, because I wanted leftovers for me because I love leftovers. I already had seconds by that point. Yes. Yeah. So what time did they leave? About 10. Wow. Wow, that's a late night for you, man.

19:43Keyzie:Yeah, oh no, you should go to bed about 10. Do you? How long were you wishing that they would leave? Oh, no, it was very nice, actually. No, nice isn't actually nice, though. Normally it's like, okay, we've eaten now, piss off. Yeah. But no, we were having a good chat. So as an example, like when we came around, it was like, now we've eaten, piss off.

20:01Mike Minogue:It was nine o 'clock? Yes. So you gave them an extra hour? Yes. Okay. Last night, fellas, I couldn't really sleep, so I did that thing where I'd just get up and go to the lounge and just put something like a documentary on and just try to sleep in the lounge? Is that what you call them, a documentary? yeah but it's actually just hardcore pornography

20:22Keyzie:and that helps you to unwind doesn't it Keezy

20:25Mike Minogue:it just takes my mind off of everything and I just drift off I know um five buzzy shit it was good

20:35Mike Minogue:the Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki

20:55Mike Minogue:Yum. Very yum. Totally. Pretty exciting stuff having Reburger back on board, fellas. It is. I'm going to have it tonight, actually. Really? Oh, God, this is back. What? It just sort of feels like it should be treated as a new partnership. We need to do sort of like new stuff around it, not just Hoardy J lying every day that he's going to have it or that he has had it. Fellas.

21:14Keyzie:It is what it is, man. It just is what it is.

21:18Mike Minogue:What store are you going to go to? Graylin. That's weird. There's one way closer to your house on Simon Street up there.

21:25Keyzie:Oh, is there? Yeah.

21:26Mike Minogue:Oh, that's good to know. Yeah.

21:27Keyzie:Even better.

21:28Mike Minogue:Okay. So twice in a week, eh?

21:32Keyzie:Well, when else did I have it this week? Was that Monday or was that last week? Oh, Friday. There you go. Yeah. So twice in seven days. Well, you know me and Reburger, fellas. Why are you having Reburger tonight, man? Yeah, what's the story, man? Well, we had friends over for dinner last night, and my wife and I were like, oh, let's not bother cooking anything tonight. And I said, hey, how about Reburger?

21:53Mike Minogue:Right, okay, so you're going to go get Reburger. You don't have to hop in your car for that.

21:56Keyzie:Well, now that I know it's at the top of Simon Street, no, I won't have to do that. You'll walk there. Yeah, totally I will.

22:02Mike Minogue:Oh, can you send a photo to Pugs of you guys eating Reburger and we'll put it on our Instagram? Why would I do that? Just so that people can see? Oh, just because it supports Reburger, you know, and it's great for the partnership, I guess, if you can just get them behind it. Fellas. I guess my question would be, why wouldn't you? So easy.

22:16Keyzie:Because I appreciate my privacy.

22:18Mike Minogue:Well, the thing is, if we're just going on here.

22:20Keyzie:And it's a romantic special. There's nothing romantic about taking my wife to re-burg you. Are you eating it? And then taking a photo and posting it on Insta.

22:31Mike Minogue:I can't think of anything more romantic than putting a photo of your burger on the net. Personally. But anyway, get into it. What? Re-burg you. Totally. Coming up next, Mogi takes us through what he's going to spend his winnings on for the Big Bet. Oh, yeah.

22:48Keyzie:Good stuff. Here's Royal Blood.

22:50Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

22:56Keyzie:Sublime there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening. The time is 12 minutes past 5 o 'clock. And if you were listening to the show yesterday afternoon, you'd know that old Mogi became a very, very rich man.

23:13Mike Minogue:Yeah. We had a bet in May. I bet that Jace could give up the darts and the vape for the entire month of May. Yeah. Mogi, you didn't think he could, so the bet was if he could do it, you have to give myself and Jace$100 each. That's right. Mike Minogue. Yes. However, if he gave in, if he had a vape or a smoke, I would have to give you$100. Jace would have to give you$100. $200 to you, Mike Minogue. Yeah, man. And unfortunately, did Hoi DJ win the bet? He did not. Can I ask a question how soon into the month you buggered it up? Was it at Magic Round or before? No, at Magic Round. Oh, yeah. So very early.

23:50Oh, you're going pretty well. That was mid-month, wasn't it? That was about 14th or something.

23:53Keyzie:Oh, well done. Yeah, well, now I'm in the money, of course. Yeah.

23:57Mike Minogue:This is the thing is you've now got$200 of mine and Hoi DJ's money to spend. Well, no, not exactly. Not exactly. Now, that was the bet, 100%. $200. bucks, that'd be one of the bigger bets I've won, I think. It's a good win. But for me, it's not so much about the money. I mean, it's about being right for me. That holds more value. Right. And of course, Jase and I, we've given up smoking on this show, and this is without a word of a lie, probably five, six, seven times. Yes. All with varying degrees of success. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I understand, and this is the reason why I bet against Chase, not because I bet against him as a human or that I don't want him to.

24:40I understand how difficult and how addictive cigarettes and nicotine in general are. So I wasn't betting against him per se. I was betting for addiction because I know how tough it is. Because it always wins. Well, it does. It's the toughest thing to give up, they reckon, even more harder than heroin, Jason. You've given that up before. Yeah. So, yeah, I mean, in terms of the$200, I had a thing about it I've had a chat with Jase I don't want the$100 off you Jase because it feels like taking candy from a baby in a sense to take money from you an addict, a weak person weak willed shocking bastard just doesn't seem right I've won$100 I appreciate the effort you put in Jase because you made the bet knowing that you're probably going to fail, knowing that you're going to let down Keezy, but you did it anyway.

25:36So kia kaha to you, brother. Your money's no good around here, brother, but Keezy, what I'm planning to do with your hundred bucks. Well, no, hang on. Why are you kia kaha-ing him?

25:44Keyzie:I appreciate that, Moogie. Oh, do you? Why?

25:47Mike Minogue:Because all you did was break the bet and have a vape and now you don't have to give any money over.

25:51Keyzie:I appreciate your compassion and your understanding. The thing about Liz Keezy, you know, I know that Jase, every time he picked up the vape between the 15th of May and all the way through now and all the Siggies he was smashing over at Magic Round loving them hiding around behind buildings all sorts of stuff that he was doing to hide that addiction he would have felt terrible the whole time I don't think he would have there was a gap between the Siggies and the vape again oh yes a few days not many days but a few days and this is the addiction talk and look at him defending himself he's a shocker

26:25Mike Minogue:but why am I getting started so all I've done here is give you$100 have no influence over the bet whatsoever, try to support my friend in battling his addiction. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely, and that's to be admired. But this is a learning opportunity for you here, Kesey. Never, never, ever bet and support an addict, a junkie. What am I supposed to do? Well, give me the$100 for a start. So you still seriously want the cash? 100%. Well, you've made the bet, and don't make a bet if you're not willing to pay it. That's true, man. Well, no, I'm willing to pay, but it just seems a bit crazy. Well, what do you suggest?

27:03You would only be happy, let me understand this, your friend that you've wanted to support, you don't want him to smoke or anything like that, now he is back on the vapes, and you would feel better if he also had to pay me$100. This is a friend that you're so supportive of.

27:19Keyzie:And can I just say... That's pretty backwards logic. Yeah, it is. Can I just... To that point, Moggy, can I just make the point too? Vaping ain't cheap You know what I mean? Well then give it up You know I appreciate the fact That I've got that hundy Yeah Back in my wallet As it were there So what You give me your money

27:39Mike Minogue:For vapes now Well I mean I'm just not taking it off him Because I know What the struggle is Alright fine I made the bet I banged on about it I supported Jase Again you can have the$100 Oh I know I can Wow I mean don't You know You've made the bet You paid the bet So anyway What I'll be doing With the$100 Jase, I'm going to take you out for a dinner.

27:57Keyzie:Oh, thank you, man. Because you tried your guts out last month. You made it all the way to the middle of May, man, and I've got nothing but respect for you. So one more time, man. Kia kaha.

28:09Mike Minogue:What, so we're doing a work team dinner? Is that what? It's me and Jase will be going out. Curry, you think? $100, I haven't got enough. If I want a bit more money, I might have enough to shout everyone, but just me and Jase. So do you want? I appreciate that, man. Do you want cash or a bank transfer? Cash, please, man. Because I've got to get a photo of it for socials. Kia kaha, Jase. Thanks, man. We're really proud of you, man. Here's Bush! The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

28:40Keyzie:Pearl Jam there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening. The time is 25 minutes past five o 'clock.

28:47Mike Minogue:Fellas, can I get your advice on something? Sure. Something to do with my relationship.

28:51Keyzie:Yeah. Yeah.

28:56Mike Minogue:So, last night, right? My wife got home from squash. And I was in the shed, bleeding the brakes on my motorbike. Right? Bleeding them.

29:08Keyzie:Yeah. No. Bleeding them.

29:13Mike Minogue:It was a bit like that at one stage. A bit gluggy. Yeah, Jase, you get it. So, I come in after that, have a shower. And I'm making a roll in the kitchen out of the leftover butterfly chicken. Yeah. A bap. And I'm just listening to what my wife is watching. And it sounds to me like she is watching people just going at it. Yeah. It was about 10 minutes I was in the kitchen prepping my meal, getting ready, blah, blah, blah. And the whole time just listening to people going at it in the other room. Then I go in there and have a look. I'm like, what are you watching? She's like, oh, it's my new show.

29:52Mike Minogue:It's called Off Campus Which Pugs is big into Apparently And I've just noticed a trend Whenever my wife has a new show she's watching It's mostly just about people going at it Yeah And so I said to her Oh so what's the basic gist of what's going on in the show And she's like oh This guy You know it's young people in university in the states Or whatever I think I don't know This guy is pretending to be this girl's boyfriend to make her ex jealous or something. Oh, yeah. And then, of course, while the charade's happening, she falls in love with him probably is my prediction. You know what I mean?

30:27Mike Minogue:Yeah. I'm like, oh, of course, she's going to fall in love with him. And then I was like, so what's the plot of this episode? She's like, oh, she struggles to, let's just say, get to completion, if you know what I mean. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's pretty explicit. So the mate helps. He's like, yeah, I can help you with that. And I'm just like, you're watching porn. Yeah. You're watching porn. Like if I was watching that show and she was in there bleeding the brakes and making a chicken roll, she'd be flabbergasted. Horrified. Is that all G?

31:01Is that all G?

31:03Keyzie:Sounds all G to me. I mean, I personally would be stoked. Why?

31:17Mike Minogue:Why would you be stoked with that?

31:23Keyzie:Jase? Well, I mean, for the obvious reasons, fellas.

31:29Mike Minogue:Right, okay. But do you see why it seems a bit unfair that if I was watching that, it would just be weird? I'll tell you what, the thing that is weird about it is that she doesn't want you around when she's watching it. Well, no, that's... That's the weird bit. She's not... She, because you guys love watching shows together, and yet here she is. As soon as you're outside, bleeding the brakes, she's straight on with a bit of filth. Now, why doesn't she want you around for that, Keezy? Well, that's actually... That's what I'd be asking myself. It's a really good question, mate. No, hang on. If you just let me...

32:06Mike Minogue:She keeps trying to get me to watch it. She's like, oh, you should watch this. You'll love it. Yeah, well, you love that heated rivalry. Well, yeah, I mean, I do like a heated rivalry. But I just, you know, I just... Should I start watching a dirty program?

32:22Keyzie:Well, what do you mean, start watching a dirty program?

32:26Mike Minogue:Well, you know, start watching some sort of raunchy, you know. I don't even know.

32:30Keyzie:Do I need to remind you of monkey porn?

32:34Mike Minogue:Oh, my God. That is such an old reference. Do not bring that back

32:44Keyzie:Do you want to finally use your say that, Kesey? Say what?

32:49Mike Minogue:I'm done with this yarn now Do not bring this shit yarn from two years ago back

32:56Keyzie:But I had a weird sort of similar scenario with my wife today But not, it wasn't to do with what she was watching I'll quote the dialogue here on Messenger She'd just given blood and she said She sent a photo of an op shop And she said As my reward I might just pop in here And I said Oh yeah Think sexy

33:27Mike Minogue:Kiss kiss So you wanted to get something sexy From the second hand store

33:32Keyzie:And she messaged back, ooh. And I was like, what? Right. And she said, I don't want secondhand sexy stuff. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. And I was like, I was just jokes, though. I was just jokes. Ah. And she was like, ooh. And I've sent her a few more messages, but she hasn't got back to me since then. Yeah.

34:57Keyzie:Fellas, have you heard this extraordinary story? over in the UK. Because you've heard about cruise ships and things like that. Wow, this is interesting. Yeah, what? What they're thinking of doing, get this, Moggy, you will love this because I know you're fascinated by this sort of thing. They're going to create a floating city.

35:15Mike Minogue:Wait, so you're fascinated by boats? Oh.

35:18Keyzie:Nearly a mile long and 80 ,000 people on board. Welcome to the first floating city. bigger than any vessel ever built the proposed freedom ship will have homes, schools and state of the art hospitals the monster cruise ship of today face being reduced to mere minnows by plans for a floating city that will carry 80 ,000 people at a cost of about 3 billion dollars now it's about a mile long there's shopping centres is there hospitals? Hospitals, schools, nightclubs. How many people are we talking? About 80 ,000? It's got about 80 ,000. But here's how they break it down, right? About 50 ,000 permanent residents.

36:11Keyzie:Oh, yeah. Who are literally just floating around the world. Permies. Permies, as they call them. Are they allowed visitors? Well, here's the other thing. They've also allowed for 10 ,000 floaters. There could be more than that. And by floaters, I mean people that can come on casually onto the ship and check it out and go from a little cruise from A to B, for example. It's also going to have a staff of 20 ,000 to serve the 50 ,000 permanent residents and the 10 ,000 floaters. Oh, so it's 50, 20, 10, not 80, 20, 10. Yes. Wow. I mean, my only question is, I don't know if it's in the article, Why?

36:56Keyzie:Well, you know, you get to see the world. I mean, personally for me, it's my worst nightmare. It's not easy this segment, is it? It's my worst nightmare. It's fascinating though, isn't it, when you think about it.

37:10Mike Minogue:But you live in this city and this is a floating city.

37:13Keyzie:Yeah, but it's only one mile long, Keezy. Right. So even though it's got all the facilities, it's got your nightclubs, your bars. State-of-the-art hospitals. State-of-the-art hospitals, schools, all of that. It's only a mile long and there's, you know, at any given time, 80 ,000 people in that mile-long stretch. To me, sounds like a nightmare. You have to imagine it was some of the worst people in the world, though. So that sort of helps everyone out. Chuck them on that floating city there. What would you call it, that floating city? Has it got a name?

37:45Mike Minogue:I'd call it the Freedom Ship.

37:47Keyzie:It's called the Freedom Ship. Oh, that's still that. I'd call it the Floater. Yeah, I'd call it the Big Floater.

37:52Mike Minogue:Because it's a piece of shit.

37:54Keyzie:The big floater.

37:56Mike Minogue:Yeah. When's it finished, Jase?

37:59Keyzie:Well, it's still in a proposed sort of situation. Oh, right, okay. So it's not even. And the cost is something like$32 billion. I thought it was$3 billion. And who's paying for it? Oh, no, it's$3 billion.

38:09Mike Minogue:Oh, right. Well, what is it, man? Because I don't know which way is up at the moment, based on this segment you're doing.

38:14Keyzie:Well, Keezy, then you simply need to pay better attention. All right.

38:19Mike Minogue:Quick question. How long is it?

38:24Keyzie:It's about 1 ,000 metres long.

38:26Mike Minogue:Well, no, that's a kilometre. That's it. It's a mile long, isn't it? Yeah, it's 1 ,600, isn't it? Surely. It's a bit more than that. Did you even read the article? He did, word for word.

38:36Keyzie:His guns and roses.

38:38Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

38:43Keyzie:Yes, indeed. The killer's there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening. The time is 5.51, fellas.

38:51Mike Minogue:Yeah, fellas. Hey, this Thursday, when I say this Thursday, I mean Thursday and a couple of weeks, a few weeks there, June 25th. I always refer to this coming Thursday as the Thursday three weeks from now. Three weeks away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you up to this Thursday, Moggy? I'm probably going to go to Dan Lou. Oh, Dan Lou, yeah, well remembered. Thursday, June 25th for 12 hours straight, the entire station of Radio Hodaki will be broadcasting from one location. Last year that location was in the bowels of Eden Park. Yes. This year it's going to be from the tippity top of the Sky Tower.

39:26Mike Minogue:Tallest building in New Zealand.

39:27Keyzie:How are you guys feeling about that? Because I know both of you get a bit woozy with height. I'll be honest, a mate of mine has moved into a new place and went up the elevator there. He's on the top floor. And then you look over the side and you get sort of like a hole down that you can see all the way down to the bottom. Of the shaft. Not the shaft, of the sort of the stairwell, I'd probably say. It's a design sort of thing they've done. And it did not make me feel good looking down there. Just on that, you remember Keezy, me, you, and old Pugsarm went up to that building in Brizzy. Oh, I hear that viewpoint.

40:00Keyzie:Like, it was very high, and they had a glass floor. Didn't feel great standing on that, to be honest, looking down at the pavement. It was like feeling a bit nauseous.

40:08Mike Minogue:Yeah, and there is a glass floor area up the Sky Tower as well. Yes. So we're going to be up there for 12 hours straight, but the reason we're tackling our crippling fears of heights that we all suddenly have is because we're doing it for a good cause there, fellas. 200 metres up in the air, day in lieu. I think it's the fifth year in a row raising funds and raising awareness as well for bowel cancer. Bowel Cancer New Zealand, they are the ones that we've been teaming up with for a number of years now. And if you are keen to donate, you text the word LUE to 3483. Right. We hit you back with a secure donation link.

40:43Mike Minogue:Yes. However, it's all about getting yourself treated as well and being more aware of the symptoms because if you catch them early, they could save your life. If so, dayinloo.co.nz is a website that has been set up and it has an online symptom checker. Yeah, good stuff, man. So you can go there, check the symptoms yourself, and hopefully catch something early if you do have it. That's the key. Yeah, that is the key. I've been checked a few times. I was checked fairly recently. I can't remember. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, no, I was. They take things. She didn't have much of a sense of humor about it.

41:14Can I put it to you that way? Yeah. You know, it's a fun thing. You know, there's nothing to be ashamed of or worried about.

41:23Mike Minogue:Yeah, getting checked. What was involved? She got her finger out and put it in a glove. Just the finger? Just one finger, yeah. And the one finger of the glove. And the rest of the glove was sort of just flapping around. I couldn't see what was going on, to be completely honest. It's a sort of blind spot. She sort of digitally inserted it, but she brought in a witness. She had to bring somebody in as a witness. Oh, yeah. Who was it? You, Jase? She hadn't done anything wrong. Just somebody out of the waiting room. Like another patient? Yeah, another patient, just the next person in line. That seems weird.

41:52Well, I thought so. Backbone, though. He's a good bastard. Oh, yeah. What was he wearing? I'll worry his jersey.

42:01Mike Minogue:But Day in Lou is happening Thursday, June 25th from 6am. Broadcasting for 12 hours live. The tallest building in New Zealand. Don't forget, text Lou to 3483 for a donation link. And head to dayinlou.co.nz to check out your symptoms.

42:15Keyzie:Lou 3483. There we go, Jase. Beautiful. Here's Arctic Monkeys.

42:24Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

42:30Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope you're getting through your hump day tickety-boo. You're listening to The Big Show brought to you by Reburg U.

42:38Mike Minogue:Handcrafted burgers, loaded fries and gourmet eats. That'll change the game.

42:48Mike Minogue:Great stuff. So, Jase, you're having a re-burger tonight for dinner, aren't you? Yeah, I am. Yeah, me. And what are you going to go with?

42:53Keyzie:I don't know yet, actually. Fries, obviously, because you know I love those. You always start with the chips, eh? Yeah, I do. I do. That's the key. What did you have last week? Well, don't fill yourself up, though, mate, because you won't eat your burger if you stuff yourself with those chips, will you? Yeah, but I'll be sharing them with my wife, Mogi, and she likes a fry or two. So, yeah, look, I'll be honest with you. I don't probably, I can't remember the name of it, actually. The Royal Red or something?

43:18Mike Minogue:Regent Red. Regent Red, yes. My favourite as well. Yeah, pretty good. Mogi, you just ate some sort of spaghetti number. What was that? That was spaghetti. It's pretty good. I had some mozzarella on it. Yum. You heard of that? Yes, cheese, isn't it? It is. That's right, Keezy. Yum. Jesus Christ. Have you been to Europe? Yeah, I have. Have you, Jase? No. Oh, you simply must. They've got mozzarella over there. Just, you go.

43:47Keyzie:No, I was just going to say, fellas, I'm a little bit concerned about how much cheese I'm actually eating. Oh, you're so good. I think it's way too much. Yeah, I think so. Because I'm fond of a bit of cheese, and I like your fancy cheeses, your soft cheeses, your blues. Yum. But the terrible thing is, at the end of the night, I start snacking, and I tell you what, for our dinner party last night. Our friends bought, what do you call it? Like a fig. Cheese? Chutney. Yeah, but a fig kind of paste. Yeah. Which goes so good. And so I've been hoeing into that all day. The fig paste. You've got your quince paste as well.

44:25You've got your quince, yes. Your apple, yeah. So many different pastes. Jeez, you must have some fancy mates that were over last night. Jase, who was it? Oh, just some mates.

44:35Mike Minogue:Jase, actually, it's funny because you've never been to Europe, eh? No. You simply must. Ah, France. France, it's very common for them to end. Like, their dessert will always be a cheese of some sort. Yes. You know what I mean? Oui, oui. That's racist. They have a lot of cheese in France, Jase. Do they really, Mogi? Yeah, and wine. But, like, you know, instead of dessert, they'll often have cheese and crackers every night. Cracker? Cracker?

45:06Mike Minogue:Up next, we read the most romantic things you've done off the text machine there, 3483. If you'd like to win yourself a Reburga voucher, what's the most romantic thing you've done? Foo Fighters. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

45:22Keyzie:Radiohead there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening. The time, 26 minutes past six o 'clock, fellas.

45:30Mike Minogue:Hey, fellas, have you heard of Beavana? Oh, yes. Yeah, it's back again. We've been a part of Bear Vana for the last few years. Down in Wellington, it's two days of good eating and good beersies as well, bringing together 50, more than 50 actually, breweries from around New Zealand and Australia as well, all gathering in the nation's capital, Wellington. It's happening the 21st and the 22nd of August at Henry Stadium in Wellington. Tickets are on sale right now, bearvana.co.nz. We will be there. We will be part of it. Just a heads up.

45:56Keyzie:Yeah, I think we're going to be doing a live show down there, so that's something to do. I love going back to Welly.

46:01Mike Minogue:Yeah, if you want to target a live show with some big show integration, aim for the Friday. Yes. The Friday is when we'll be there, so yeah.

46:06Keyzie:Hey, fellas, speaking of big occasions, of course, tomorrow night's a big one, the Radio Awards. And I don't know if you guys are like me, but have you given much thought at this point to what you're going to wear to the said occasion? Look, well, I've never been before. Neither. This is an exciting time for me. This is, I think, our fifth year doing the show. and we've had dozens of nominations. Dozens.

46:33Mike Minogue:I think we've had three. Was it three? Three dozen. Nah, just three. So I actually have never been. Jase, you've never been. How come you've never been? You've been working here for like 20 years. 25, Keezy. You started when you were 14.

46:53Keyzie:Start early, mate. Yeah, I mean, because I'll be honest with you, There's a general rule there of no interest to me. We're not in it for the baubles. Thank you. Do you mean the awards?

47:05Mike Minogue:The trophies. Yeah, good. Well, that's good. The certificates. Yeah. That's probably a good thing because you're at Hodaki. The unframed certificates. Yes. But we're up for a few awards, which I think tomorrow we're going to do a bit of a radio and podcast special, awards special. Yes. But it is a formal event.

47:23Keyzie:Yeah, it is a formal event. And I was wondering, do we want to sort of have a team look? because I thought this could be a great opportunity to bring back the turtleneck. Yeah, I think it's a real throwback. And let's be quite clear, because we did that probably, what, four years ago? Turtleneck Tuesday. We did Turtleneck Tuesday.

47:40Mike Minogue:I've still got the intro music here as well. Have you got it there? I'd love to do it. It was so good, this. Ooh. Remember that? Yes, I do. It's really long, so I won't play the whole thing. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but I've still got it. Why did we do that on Tuesday? I can't even remember what the story was. Anyway, yeah, I vaguely remember, Jase, you got over it really quickly. Yes. Because you didn't like putting the turtleneck on.

48:03Keyzie:We also, back in the day, fellas, I don't know if you remember this, wore suits for a while. We did.

48:11Mike Minogue:We did, yeah. Bloody good. That was really good. You guys were leading that initiative, and I was anti it. You were like, we should dress formal every day, and I was like, that is going to get so old so quick. And it did. It really did. And even the prospect of wearing a turtleneck, I don't know, it feels like, well, you tell us what you're meant to wear, Kesey. You go along there every single year and get absolutely hammered. What are men wearing there? I'm going to be honest. You know what I've worn the last three years in a row? A turtleneck. Have you? The same one. The same one from Turtleneck Tuesday.

48:37Mike Minogue:I put that on and I chuck a jacket over the top because it kind of looks stupid. Yeah. In like a snazzy, old school kind of way. This year I'm not going to do it because it gets really hot and itchy. I was going to say it gets hot and itchy and I'd quite like to be comfortable while I'm having the time of my life. Yeah, and when we're up there saying speeches. Yeah, we want to look good too. We want to look good. For the cameras, the red carpet, et cetera, et cetera. To be honest, I'm probably just going to wear a smart blazer and some nice pants and a white dress shirt. Nothing. Oh, yes. No tie or anything.

49:05Mike Minogue:Just one button undone. Just one. What a sicko. Yeah, yeah, just one. Not two? Nah. Oh, maybe two.

49:10Keyzie:When I go the suit, I tend to have three buttons undone just to show a bit of buzzy. Bit of hoity-jag buzzy. Bit of ruddy chest. Bit of, yeah. Bit of leathery old skin.

49:22Mike Minogue:Shit, yeah. I reckon that'll go down well at the Radio Awards, Josh. I reckon just that, just a suit, unbuttoned slightly. Shiny shoes? Shiny shoes.

49:30Keyzie:Okay. I don't really have shiny shoes. Have you got, like, boots? You've got your old weathered faux broken down. I've got a nice pair of shoes. Boots, actually, that I got from Adelaide.

49:42Mike Minogue:Wear your Adelaide boots. Yeah, your Adelaide boots. I've got a bit of felt on them. Have you got a boys' trip hat? Like a cap with boys' trip on it? Like a hoodie that's got the Nike swoosh on the front. I could have a look. I could have a look. Or a coloured in Reberger hat. One of those go down really well.

49:59Keyzie:I don't know where that's gone, actually. It's really bugging me.

50:02Mike Minogue:Actually. Has it been bugging you? Yeah. Oh, it's too late. I've started this song. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

50:19Keyzie:Well, there you go, you mad bastards. That's The Big Show done and dusted this Wednesday night. But what's our podcast outro clip tonight, Keezy?

50:27Mike Minogue:I've got to have a guess, I think. It's just titled Wife. Oh, yeah. It's just titled Wife, and it comes out at 7.30 tonight. Where do you get your podcast from? Search Hodaki Big Show. I don't respect my wife. I cheat on her all the time.

50:44Mike Minogue:It's a shame Pugs doesn't need to clip that off. Don't use that as the podcast clip, but Pugs, G-Head. There you go, man. Could you play that again? No Why? Just I didn't hear it This has been the first time you've ever not heard it

51:00Keyzie:Yeah well because I got distracted by a text on my phone

51:03Mike Minogue:Oh well Jason look you're on live radio man You're meant to be a professional You should have been locked in Someone's a bit toey Yeah well he's probably going to get out and do some cheat

51:11Keyzie:Yeah true Yeah we're cutting into my cheating time here fellas Hey Mogi what's the plan tonight? I'll probably go home Yes And, I don't know, maybe, oh, actually, I want to watch another episode of a show I'm thoroughly enjoying. I think it's the last one of the season. Widow's Bay, it's called, on Apple TV. That's on tonight. And I just want to get a really good sleep. I keep on getting woken up. Last night, actually, I'm going to save this. For tomorrow. Everyone out there, I've got an absolutely unbelievable yarn. Make sure you tune in tomorrow from 4 o 'clock. For a silly chat with Moogie.

51:46What about you there, Keezy, your mad dog?

51:49Mike Minogue:I got out the frozen chili mints before I came here today, so that should be nice and defrosted. And we're going to have our burritos. Would that defrost enough time? I think so. A little hack. You know how you get a little rack that you draw your dishes on, that you stack your dishes on? Yeah. I put it on that so that way the air gets underneath it and on top of it. Oh. Defrost quicker. That's a good hack, man. You put your meat on the rack. I put my meat on the rack to defrost it. So we're going to have burritos, and then we're probably going to watch the second episode of a TV show. we started watching.

52:20Oh, yeah.

52:20Mike Minogue:But I'll talk about that another time. Maybe tomorrow. All right, tell you what. Tune in tomorrow. It's going to be a hell of a chat. Sleep chat and a bit of TV chat. Totes, man. Jase.

52:29Keyzie:Yes. What are you up to tonight, man? Well, I've already told you. Re-burger.

52:34Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah, true. You have a re-burger. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't forget to send a photo through of you eating it so Pugs can post it.

52:39Keyzie:Oh, look, if I remember, definitely.

52:42Mike Minogue:They'll text you. They'll call you. No, no.

52:44Keyzie:No, not in the middle of my romantic re-burger dinner. Hey, check out the Instagram, check out the podcast. Till tomorrow. See you later. Bye.
