In short
The Hauraki Big Show episode mixes comedy segments and current entertainment: buying into a racing pigeon syndicate (including a “media manager” role), interviewing guests about their new animated kids’ show The Last More, TV/documentary and reality TV recommendations, Come Dine With Me planning and dietary/spice preferences, a toilet-seat “etiquette” debate, and Commonwealth Games medal updates.
Guests
Matt Heath (aka Spooge) and Phil Brough (Spanners Watson) are creators/voice/production leads for The Last More. “Pug-san” (Pugsano) joins for Come Dine With Me chat; his partner is vegetarian. Phone caller Kerry wins a Dad’s Pies prize.
Key claims
The Last More is a Roadrunner-style Kiwi slapstick where characters mostly say “backbone,” available on Sky Open/Sky Go. The pigeon syndicate needs roles; the media manager would be paid (improv roleplay with NZ Herald). Toilet etiquette has “no correct answer,” and the “opposite” of what you did is expected.
Notable examples
Scott Wieland’s Velvet Revolver documentary (missed rehearsals, rehab after arrest); Alone International survival-reality; Commonwealth Games: Lewis Clarebert wins NZ’s first gold (200m butterfly); Australia leads medal table.

0:09Keyzie:Welcome to the Hauraki Big Show. With Jason Hoyte, Mike Minogue and Keyzie. Oh, g'day you mad bastards. Great to have your company on this glorious Tuesday afternoon. It is the 28th of July, 2026. And you, my friends, as always, listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburger. Yum.
0:31Mike Minogue:Beef, chicken, vegan and vegetarian options. Reburger are redefining the norm. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
0:38Keyzie:G'day, Mogie, you're Randy Stallion. How's life? Pretty Randy, I tell you what, sicko. I have absolutely been rutting up a storm over these last few days. Yeah, nice. Rutting up a storm. Another beautiful day here in the city of Sales. Went for a walk at the crack this morning. Hey, winter's arrived, fellas. Finally up here. I think it's been in the rest of the country for a long time. But I saw down south yesterday, the mercury hit minus eight. Right. Minus eight. That's cold.
1:05Mike Minogue:It was negative four and a half, I believe, out at my in-law's place in Christchurch there, which is just so cold.
1:11Keyzie:Yeah. So cold. Well, I went out this morning for an early morning walk like mogie. Minus 17. In Auckland. In Auckland. That doesn't surprise me. But that's kind of balmy for us. Hey, Keezy, how are you going, mate?
1:26Mike Minogue:Yeah, pretty grouse there, you mad dog. You're sick. I've been rutting away there. Have you been rutting away, Keezy? Because I worry about you, man. You know, you're getting on a little bit. You've got no little, what do you call those little things? Little tykes, little kids. No kids, man. What are you talking about? I'm just worried about you not having any kids yet. I think you need to start having kids. Okay. All right? You've got to get the goalie out of the way, man. Yeah, okay. All right? That was an intense way to start the show. What is it, Tuesday? How are you, Jase?
1:59Keyzie:Yeah, good things, Kesey. Can't complain. You've been running away, man. Oh, always, mate. Are you happy, man? Always, man.
2:04Mike Minogue:Because I'm worried about you. You've got too many kids.
2:08Keyzie:Actually, funnily enough, I've been chatting to my kids. Oh, that is weird. I feel like you at all. On Messenger. Well done. You know, organising our holiday in October there over in Aussie. So that's been, you know, great stuff. That's really good stuff. Hey, Mogi. That's a good anecdote. You should just save that for later in the show. What's coming up in the show, man?
2:31What's happening on the big show with old Mogi? Just looking at my watch there to find out what the date was, but of course I'm blind as a bat. Fellas, it's one of the last few opportunities to get yourself$250. It's the pies that pay. It's Bear and Pie July. Listen out for the pie rates for your queue to call. Give us a bell on 0800 Haraki and you might get yourself 250 big ones. Also, we're going to have Matt Heath and Spooge, Old Spanners Watson, going to be in here around about 4.30 to have a yarn about their new kids' TV show, The Last More. Yeah, man, looks good. It does. It looks bloody amazing.
3:09And also a bit of hire a hubby chat later on as well, an opportunity to win some cash there. And Keezy's Pigeon. Yeah. I can't remember its name. It's a long one, but it's a good one.
3:20Mike Minogue:This is the issue with it.
3:22Keyzie:It's Keezy looking over his wings, over his beak, with me, Keezy. See, it's a shit name.
3:29Mike Minogue:But I need to start delegating roles, guys, for the team. Oh, yeah? So we'll get into that next day. One-man team. No.
3:37Keyzie:Here's Alison Chain.
3:39Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.
3:43Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Snow Patrol there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time, 14 minutes past four o 'clock.
3:51Mike Minogue:Fellas, the Hauraki Big Show, we've gone four ways and we've purchased ourselves a racing pigeon. Cheesy on all wings, looking over his beak with me. Cheesy.
4:06Mike Minogue:And it's now got the worst name in the history of any pigeon ever.
4:10Keyzie:And I'll just correct you as well, we've gone one way.
4:13Mike Minogue:Yeah.
4:13Keyzie:Not four ways, one way.
4:15Mike Minogue:Do you want to be part of this winning syndicate or not?
4:18Keyzie:I want to be part of a winning one, yes. But, but, fellas,
4:28Mike Minogue:I really need you to just buy in on this thing, you know? I just need you to really get around this whole racing pigeon thing. I need you to really bring it in. Look, I'm here for it, man. I want you to know I'm here for it. Yeah, totally. I'm over here for it. What does that mean? And I can't wait to see how it goes. I really can't. And I love the name. The name is, the name, I love the name so much. So it's got that going for it. Absolutely. So it was the name chosen by the Horaki audience locked in yesterday, which I'm devastated about, to be honest, because not only apparently am I the sole owner of this pigeon, it now has a shit name, as chosen by pretty much you guys.
5:03Mike Minogue:Sorry, what is it again? I can't even frigging remember it. Here's its name. Cheesy on all wings, looking over his beak with me. Cheesy. Cheesy on all wings. looking over his beak with me. I don't think I remembered that it started with Keezy and it ended with Keezy. It's great. It's a commentator's nightmare. I've got to be honest. Yeah, but for the sake of this break, Keezy, let's assume that Jason and I are on board. What do you need, mate?
5:38Mike Minogue:Well, to be honest, this pigeon racing syndicate, there's going to be various roles that need doing. Like any sporting... You've taken on a huge job. I know I have. And my job as team manager is to find the right people for the right roles. Delegate. Well, not delegate. Because the team manager's not also out there coaching and doing this and doing that. Everyone's got their own roles. My job is to concentrate on match-ups and just the general welfare of the pigeon, that sort of stuff.
6:06Keyzie:Weather forecasts.
6:07Mike Minogue:Wow, yeah, I suppose. You know what I mean?
6:08Keyzie:You want to know what the weather's doing if it's flying, Keezy.
6:11Mike Minogue:Totally, totally. Which way is the wind blowing the Keezy? Totally. Do you know, some pigeons, Jason, you'll know this from your pigeon racing days, some pigeons are no good in a sou 'easter. Some pigeons are no good in a nor 'wester. So you need to know what kind of a pigeon you've got. What kind of pigeon have you got, Keezy? Mine's kind of like an all-terrain pigeon. How's it go in the air? It's not the terrain I'm worried about so much, it's more the air. No, I've been a shovel. Because it's a racing pigeon, isn't it? It's not doing it on foot. I thought it was by wing. No, it's sort of like the bird version of those buses that can also go in water.
6:44Mike Minogue:Oh. Literally, you put something in front of it, it'll be sweet as. Yeah, right. That's what I've been told by Pigeon Tim down in Timaru there. But one of the roles that needs filling is media manager.
6:56Keyzie:Oh, yeah.
6:56Mike Minogue:Media manager for the pigeon. Right. And basically, like every single athlete or sports team has a media manager. You know, say a member of the press wants an interview with the coach or with the pigeon itself. You've got to go through the media manager and just manage things. Make sure the media's not overstepping and, you know. Yeah, yeah. Jase, you'd be really good at that. If you were interested. Yeah, yeah, true. What are you paying? Well, that's a good point, actually. I'd pay the media manager 25 % of all winnings.
7:24Keyzie:No, I'm not interested in percentages of winnings. I'm interested in a real, actual wage.
7:30Mike Minogue:At this stage, Jase, this is a pigeon racing...
7:32Keyzie:Well, when I say wage, I mean salary.
7:34Mike Minogue:I'm not giving you a yearly salary for a spring racing series of pigeons in Timaru.
7:40Keyzie:Oh, well, then I guess you haven't got a media manager, buddy. Your pigeon's going to be looking pretty stupid when it's trying to get an interview with the New Zealand Herald. In fact, I'm going to destroy it on social media. We're going to trash that pigeon.
Read the full transcript
7:56Mike Minogue:Okay, fine. How about 50k a year? Yep.
8:01Keyzie:That's pretty good. Yep, I'll sign up for that.
8:03Mike Minogue:Okay, 50k a year. I've bought the pigeon for$400. Yes. I'm now paying Jase$50 ,000 per year. Do you even know how to be a media manager?
8:12Keyzie:Do I?
8:13Mike Minogue:I don't think you do.
8:14Keyzie:Well, why are you asking me then?
8:16Mike Minogue:I did it. He's put you forward and now I'm paying 50 grand. So we're going to have to do a run through of you media managing then. Yeah, sure.
8:23Keyzie:That's fine, mate. Anytime.
8:25Mike Minogue:And Mogi, I'll find a job for you, mate. I'm just going to talk to the accountant. I'm not sure. I'm not sure how much we've got in the coffers. Good stuff, mate.
8:36Keyzie:Here's Arctic Monkeys.
8:40Mike Minogue:The Horaki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.
8:46Keyzie:Radiohead there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time is 4.27. And guess what, fellas? We've got our old mate Matty Heath in the studio with us. G'day, Matty. How's life? G'day, Jase. You're back, man. And you've got your mate, Matty Heath, Phil Brough.
9:09Mike Minogue:Yeah. Brough. Brough. Oh, brough. He's buggered it up. We literally talked about this 30 seconds ago. He's absolutely butchered that. Very close. Better known as Spooge, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Matt Heath, welcome back. Would you prefer to be called Spooge or Phil? I'm happy with whatever.
9:25Keyzie:Well, I got Spooge and then I got Spanner. Spanner's Watson. Yeah, Spanner's. And I was like, so what is his name then? Please, someone tell me. And then you're still butchered. And then I butchered.
9:36Mike Minogue:Well, on Phil's birth certificate, it doesn't say Spooge. No. Does it not? It says Philip Spooge. Me and Phil have been friends for a very long time And one day he saw his birth certificate I remember and you went Hey I've got two L's in my name
9:48Keyzie:Yeah I've been spelling it wrong all my life Classic speech Hey Now fellas Very exciting news You've just released a new animated show And can I just say From the brief glimpses that I've had of it Absolutely magnificent Tell us all about it
10:04Mike Minogue:Well I'll admit You go Okay well it's called The Last More And it's kind of like Roadrunner Yeah Road runner in New Zealand with a mower. Is it really? Yeah. Pretty much. That was the idea. So you've got this farmer who's trying to catch the mower. Is he Wiley Coyote, the farmer? Yes. Okay. Is he as dumb as? Yes. He builds a lot of contraptions in South Runa from Acme. He's not ordering them. He's building them in his shed. So his number eight wire, Kiwi backbone. He's pretty backbone, but he's not great, obviously, because it doesn't really work. Because if he catches the moor, then that's the end of the series, right?
10:42Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he tends to get beaten up. So he tends not to catch and kill the moor. Because does he want to kill the moor? Well, he kind of wants to get the kudos of, you know, possessing and maybe presenting the moor at various, you know, kind of biological societies. Fell. Something like that. That sounds right. It's a kid's show. I don't know if he's allowed to kill him. Butcher than more.
11:11Keyzie:Well, those early cartoons were brutal, mate. But were you watching Perchance Roadrunner and you went, jeez, you know what? Or did Matty come to you and say, hey, Spooge, I've got this great idea. It's kind of like Roadrunner. I've seen the show. I've seen the show. It's called The Roadrunner. Should we do a direct rip-off?
11:32Mike Minogue:With a Kiwi twist. I've always enjoyed Roadrunner and just those cartoons where people get beaten up. Oh, they're great. Yeah, yeah. And they've sort of, they moved away from it too much. I agree. I've got a young daughter and she, you know, if you let her loose, she'll be on Netflix, she'll be watching all of these sort of Barbie, sort of super colourful, bad writing, bad voicing, churned out, just absolute garbage. But I just can't let her watch those sorts of things. So I put on all of the old Looney Tunes, all that sort of stuff. Absolutely loves them. Dying laughing at Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, all that sort of stuff as well.
12:11They absolutely love it. Yeah.
12:13Mike Minogue:Well, just to talk a little bit about Phil and I, we've been making slapstick shows ever since Back of the Wine Masterpiece television back in the day. Yeah. We've also made Welcome to Cardboard City and Goodbye AI with our little company, Vinewood Motion Graphics. And the one thing that it's always been, we've always loved the slapstick. Yeah. Yes. But this is the most slapstick we've ever been. It's just all slapstick. I can't wait to put it on for my daughter because having her sit there with these sorts of shows where it engages her mind a bit more, but it's actually funny, written by funny people like you guys, and that was the beauty of all those old cartoons.
12:53It was some of the best writers going around were creating this stuff, and she just dies laughing. Absolutely loves it. So you've got her away from those cheap Barbie movies? Yes.
13:03Mike Minogue:My daughter used to watch those. No.
13:05Keyzie:Seriously, like I was watching an animated movie of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves a little while ago, and the animation was beautiful. Like the 30s movie. Yeah, and it was like works of art. Yeah. And now we just go for the bright colours like Mogi was saying the slap and dash. So tell me, do these characters talk? No, no. Oh, okay. They make noises. He screams a lot. Yeah. Does he sort of say things like, ah, backbone, that sort of stuff? Yeah.
13:32Mike Minogue:He does a catchphrase. No, he does say backbone. Oh, yeah, good. There's three characters, and basically all they say is backbone. You've got the farmer, you've got the kiwi, and you've got the mower, and they just go backbone, backbone, backbone. That's the plot of our show. So I think, and my wife, but I think listeners to the show really, really love it. It should really resonate with your listeners, I think.
13:55Keyzie:Well, as I say, I have seen glimpses of it, and genuinely it looks absolutely fantastic. Now, when's it coming out? where can we watch this masterpiece, fellas? It's out right now, isn't it? Oh, wow.
14:06Mike Minogue:Neon and Sky Open and Sky Go App. Oh, how good. Yeah. And it's called The Last More. Yep. It's made by Spanners Watson and Matt Heath. So it's available to watch now. To be honest, more made by Spanners Watson than Matt Heath. Yeah. That's all right. Well, then, you know, Matt Heath gets you through the door, Spanners Watson. Yeah. And what sort of age group are we looking at here? Is it great for kids of all ages? I guess so. Or are we more specific than that? I don't know. There's nothing in there that a very small kid couldn't watch. Does it make you laugh to watch it? Yeah, it makes me laugh.
14:40Keyzie:Well, I'm nearly 40, and from what I've seen, I loved it. You know what I mean? Phil, how long did it take you to create?
14:46Mike Minogue:About a year to make this. Yeah. A bit less, but we started using a program called Unreal, which you make games in. Unreal Engine. Oh, my gosh. It was killer. So cool. Every time I went to do something, it wouldn't work. It's so depressing. Wow. So it took a year, but if the software had worked, then it would have taken less time. If I'd known what I was doing, it would have taken less time. Is there room now to make a video game of the last mower? Now we're talking. There's so much more to learn to make games, and I've already had enough of that program, so maybe not. I mean, how great is the game going to be where you just chase around a mower on a quad bike?
15:21Mike Minogue:Sounds great. It sounds actually really good. Actually, that would be good. Yeah, that sounds really good. Great brainstorming session, guys. Are you open to ideas? Because what about, like, I've just had a brainwave. What about like a Pepe Le Pew type character? Like a pest. That's based on like a tuatara or something. Like just a real pest. Like a real pest. It'd be the worst, like a tuatara. They're pretty creepy. It'd be better if it was a peeping Tom just sort of standing there blinking. That would be so cool. Because otherwise, just a bit slow, the tuatara, aren't they? Yeah, they are. They're a bit slow.
15:52Mike Minogue:Spiky little bastards. Yeah, dinosaurs, you know.
15:55Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:56Mike Minogue:They're the last dinosaurs.
15:57Keyzie:Well, Matt and Phil, I'm very excited by this. I'm going to check it out. And if you do want to check it out, me on Sky Open.
16:04Mike Minogue:Yeah, and Sky Go. Beautiful. The last more is made by Matt Heath and also Phil Brough. Yes, that's it. Thanks for coming in, fellas. Yeah, yeah. Thank you. And good luck with the TV show. Oh, thanks, guys. Hey, thanks. Get on you, man. Thanks. Thanks for your backbone. Bye-bye.
16:19Keyzie:Backbone.

16:38Mike Minogue:There's eight races. The Big Show has purchased a racing pigeon. We've named it. You keep saying that. Well, I've purchased it, and the Big Show is going to be in on it once it wins its first race, I guarantee. Now, in order to have a proper racing pigeon team like we are going to have, roles. I'm team manager obviously I've organised the whole thing. One of the other roles we're going to need is a media manager This is someone who if ever the press wants an interview with the pigeon or if it wins its race and people want you know, it's like Ryan Fox winning the Open Everyone wants a piece of the action Jase, this will be your job
17:12Keyzie:Yes, 50k a year I'm getting for that
17:15Mike Minogue:It's your job to sort of handle everything alright, so I thought the best way to practice for this is do an improv

17:26Mike Minogue:Action Now it's time For the Big Show Improv So you are a media manager Jase I will be playing A member of the press Yes Like a journalist Who wants to chat to the pigeon Let's just say the pigeon Has just won it's first race Yes And I'm asking you Hey can I have an interview And blah blah blah And that's basically how it'll work Okay And then you will communicate Mo you feel free to enter Where you see fit

18:34Mike Minogue:That's the one. Yes. And I was just wondering, would I be able to have a quick interview with the pigeon, snap a few photos and stuff, because I think this would be pretty much a lead story in our sports section.

18:48Mike Minogue:Why not? I mean, the pigeon's right there. I can see him on his perch over there. He's doing nothing. He's just chilling. G'day, mate.

Looking over his beak with me, Keezy.
19:18Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. Wow, you can talk, mate. So, I mean, he's literally there. He seems pretty talkative. if he's chatting to you. Right. I didn't realise he was such a good talker. You know, it would just be a few questions like, hey, mate, how are you feeling? You know, what's next?
19:28Keyzie:Well, look, I'll be honest with you, mate. As you know, he's in high demand at the moment. We have just been asked by Woman's Day to do a series with him, which they're paying. I mean, yeah, sure, look, we could do that. What are you looking? Woman's Day are paying.
19:42Mike Minogue:Yes. Because I know a guy who just did it, and he certainly didn't get paid. Oh, what an idiot.
19:47Keyzie:In terms of, I mean, what are you looking for in terms of payment?
19:52Mike Minogue:Yeah. Well, there's no – no, no, because we're journalists, so this is the news. Oh, right, yes. You know, money shouldn't come into it. We just want to tell the story and share the news with the nation. That's how it works. Right, okay. Can I just jump in here? Yeah, sure, do. Can I record this? Is that okay? No. You ready? Yeah. Money talks, bullshit walks.
20:08Keyzie:Which are you, brother? It's very forthright, Kesey, looking over his – You can quote me on that. On all wings, looking over his beak with me, Kesey. It's very forthright. Well, he's just said I can quote him on that. You can.
20:19Mike Minogue:Can I quote him on that?
20:20Keyzie:Yeah, you can quote him on that, but you can't write an article.
20:23Mike Minogue:Ed Keezy, just while I have you, Keezy on all wings looking over his beak with me, Keezy. How are you feeling after the big race, man? Mind your business big nose there, eh? I think he's saying keep your beak out of it.
20:36Keyzie:Scene.
20:40Keyzie:You seem dejected, Keezy. I thought we handled that really well because... Let them interview the pigeon. I mean, if he wins the race, he's going to be inundated. and we've got to look after him. That's right. We can't just have every Tom, Dick and Harry knocking on the door. You can't. And that's the thing. You sort of want the big publications. I mean, Herald's fine, but we want to be saving ourselves for the New York Times, all that sort of carry on. Exactly, Maggie. I don't know if they care about it. The The Vin Chronicle. Times Magazine. Times. Time Magazine.
21:11Mike Minogue:Okay, well look. Playboy. All I'm saying is - Oh, you're definitely Playboy. When it comes to athletes, especially, you know, this pigeon's not going to win every single race. so we've got to make sure that when it does win that we're letting everyone, you know. Yeah, you're buggering it up, Jase. You know, I'm going to dock your pay, man. What were you on, 50K? I'm bumping you down to 45.
21:29Keyzie:That's fine, man.
21:31Mike Minogue:That'll show you.
21:33Keyzie:Here's Led Zeppelin.
21:34Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.
21:39Keyzie:Love the end of that song. Royal blood there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. Let's talk TV, fellas. What's on the telly with Mike Minogue?
21:54Yeah! That's right. Fellas, I saw something. It must have been on one of my social media channels there. It was a documentary about Velvet Revolver. Oh, yes. Jase, you've chosen their songs many a time for the thrower. I like them. Meat Plough. No, that was Stone Deer Mopilot. But this was back in the day when Jase took it seriously, the throbber but I saw it there and I thought oh I looked that up so I managed to find it on YouTube sadly it was a VH1 documentary which is kind of like MTV from back in the day you know maybe it came out in 2010 or something like that it's only 45 minutes long but it's heaps of behind the scenes footage so what you had was Slash Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum from Guns and Roses and then they brought in some other wound or his name I can't remember and they were sort of rehearsing for a year and while they were rehearsing, they were trying to bring in a singer and they did an open call for a singer.
22:52So they were getting any bastard out there that read the back of this magazine was sending in CDs. So the cameras are there with them while they're listening to all of these punishers and there's some absolutely heinous stuff going on. That's great. Yes, I can imagine. It's some terrible stuff. They fly a guy in from the UK. Matzler, the drummer, hates him on site. So put him on a plane back to... Fair enough. Now, this is some guy that just plays in some little band over in the UK. He sends his CDs. He's in a room with Slash and Duff. This is like prime, prime. And this is his big opportunity, and you can just see on his face, he knows this is slipping away from him.
23:34It's not going to happen. And then after a year of trying this, and it's a long time, and they're rehearsing every single day, they get Scott Wieland in. They find out that he's left Stone Temple Pilots. So they get him in through the door. He turns up. The chemistry is immediate. They then get a phone call saying that there's all these film studios that are looking to do songs for soundtracks. So all of these bigwigs from these studios are going to turn up in two days' time, which means they've got one day to rehearse with Scott Whelan. Wow. The next day, and then they're going to turn up and play these songs, and hopefully they'll be able to sell these songs for millions of dollars.
24:09The next day, okay, 10 o 'clock in the morning, we're going to be here for this. Scott Whelan doesn't turn up because he's a massive, massive junkie. Does not turn up at all. They're calling him, oh yeah, I'll be there in an hour. He never shows up. The next day, these guys from the film studios are going to be there at midday. Oh yeah, I'll get there at eight. We can rehearse until they get there. He doesn't turn up at eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Turns up about two hours late for that as well. But somehow, they managed to pull it together. They get this money. but then within a week he is arrested for possession of cocaine and heroin and he has to go and do rehab or go to jail.
24:48A brilliant, brilliant document. Sounds great.
24:52Mike Minogue:That band, short window of operation there, but some of the songs on that album rule. Those musicians are some of the greatest of all time in rock and roll and the only thing that really buggered it up was the fact that Scott Whelan was a massive addict who never got over it and ended up dying of an overdose in 2015. That reminds me, talking about the people sending in CDs and them listening, it's like in Some Kind of Monster, the Metallica one, where they're trying to find a new bass guitarist, and then Robert Trujillo comes in and starts playing, and immediately they're like, we found our guy.
25:23Mike Minogue:And they gave him a million dollars on the spot. Checked for a million bucks. And they were like, you're our new, so cool seeing that behind the scenes stuff. Yeah, good stuff. It's good stuff. That's on YouTube. You can just Google Velvet Revolve documentary.
25:35Keyzie:Very quickly, you know, I was watching a series, I've talked about it before called Alone, where people get dropped in the middle of Tasmania and have to survive for as long as possible. I've started watching one called Alone International, and it's competitors from all around the world, including New Zealand, young fella from Hokitika. And they get dropped in the middle of this Canadian sort of area, and it's going into winter. They have to kill their own food, build their own shelters. It's people disintegrating all over the shop. It's actually very entertaining to watch. And it's always the same story.
26:10Keyzie:Those who talk the biggest game fall apart the quickest. It's actually very entertaining in terms of a reality TV show. 3.5 buzzies out of five. Give me the name again, and where is it? Alone International, that was what I'm watching at the moment.
26:23Mike Minogue:Samsung TV?
26:24Keyzie:No, it's TMZ Plus, I think.
26:26Mike Minogue:Wow. Bloody good. Hey, fellas, coming up after 5 o 'clock, another chance to win$250 cash for the pies that pay. Get ready to call 0800 Hauraki. And also another update on Come Dine With Me, Big Show Edition.
26:37Keyzie:Woo-hoo!
26:40Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.
26:46Keyzie:Welcome back, you Messive Backbones. Hope your Tuesday's going along very nicely indeed. You're listening to The Big Show, incidentally, brought to you by Reburger.
26:55Mike Minogue:Craveworthy street food freshly made with Reburger. Great stuff. Yeah, good. Yeah, good, good. All right. Yeah, okay.
27:06Keyzie:Yeah. Okay. Yeah, good stuff. Good stuff.
27:12Mike Minogue:Hey, fellas, big hour coming up. Oh, really? Come dine with me. My wife, very excited. Oh, is she? We've already started hatching plans for when we host Come Dine With Me. When I say plans, just strategies, you know? Oh, you've got strategies. I'm just having a bunch of my nearest and dearest friends over for a dinner on what I hope is a lovely time. I certainly don't have any strategies. Thank you, Mogey. But it's a competition. Thank you, Mogey. It's literally a competition. Having said that. Friendship isn't a competition, Keezy. It is for me. I want to be the best friend out of everyone.
27:36Keyzie:Having said that, I was talking to my wife about it today too, and it's this Sunday at Mogey's. She was sticking the knife in early. Oh, yeah. She was brutal. Yeah. She was like, because we're doing sort of mid-afternoon, she said to me, does he get docked points for that? What do you mean? Well, it's dinner, isn't it? And I went, no, no, it's just mates getting together and enjoying each other's company. It's not about scores.
28:02Mike Minogue:What, we're going to Mogey's for afternoon tea. I mean, why should he lose points for that? That's a good idea, actually. Afternoon tea. I like the sound of that. Just some sandwiches? Yeah. You get nothing.
28:12Keyzie:If you do a high tea, I'd be very impressed with that. Well, how good would it be to invite people over for a meal and just give them nothing? Yes. Here you go. Score that.
28:21Mike Minogue:That would be so awkward but funny. But also I'd be pissed off because I wouldn't have eaten beforehand. I would have been like, oh, just. Got it with me. Well, yeah, that's right. Just get to the right. because there's a lot of pressure, and it's also a lot of work. Yeah, it is. You're not cooking. It takes all day, and then, you know, Keezy, old garbage guy, smashes it over in sort of five minutes flat. Totally. Belches and says, what's next? Yeah. Yeah, Keezy's always doing that, eh? He's got a track record of that. But at the same time, first of all, you love doing a little bit of work. I love a little bit of work.
28:54Mike Minogue:And secondly, you don't have to go all out all day. You know, you could order some re-burgering. Oh, that is absolutely true. but you know this is another thing I'm a huge fan of the TV show and the first question that always gets asked is did you make that yourself? 100 % Did you make this yourself? Yeah and so you know people are being a CS if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it myself and do it badly Hell yeah Yes As Jase would say Kia kaha mogi
29:20Keyzie:Yeah totally man
29:21Mike Minogue:But more on that next day fellas
29:24Keyzie:Here's the red Hot chilli peppers
29:26Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Kese Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.
29:33Keyzie:Yes, indeed. The Dandy Warhols there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time is 15 minutes past 5 o 'clock. Oh, g'day, Pug-san. Ooh, it's Pug-san.
29:49Mike Minogue:G'day, fellas. How are you? Good, thank you. Good. The reason we've got you in, Pugs, is because... Come dine with... The Feelers. The Fialas, that's right. And this week it's old Mogey. Are we doing the very first of the come-dine-with-me evenings or as I like to call it, early afternoons? Now, how does this work, Mogey, for the backbones out there that have never seen the TV show? Great question, Kesey. You get a group of like-minded individuals together. You all go over to each other's house. You take turns. You've got to supply the menu beforehand so it can be judged heavily for social media broadcasts.
30:25Yeah, great. Then you have people over to your house. It may or may not be themed. There may or may not be entertainment, but you have to do an entree, a main, and a dessert. And then at the end of that, you will be judged. A score given at the end of the four rounds, a winner declared. The three losers have to run up and down Queen Street naked. Yeah. Sweet. So I'm going to be going first. And I just need to get an idea, fellas, of dietary requirements because I know people are very different. They have different needs. And I certainly want to make sure I'm doing my job as a host, making sure you're not just looked after in terms of the food, but that it's an actual delicious experience.
31:09Pugsano, I know your partner is a vegetarian. Is she a vegetarian, not vegan?
31:13Mike Minogue:She's vegetarian. And it's difficult to get good quality food, and I think people that are carnivores often just go, oh, we'll just throw some tofu at it. That's right. That's sort of the Jason Hoyt approach. Absolutely.
31:24Keyzie:No, my approach would be to just not invite him.
31:27Mike Minogue:Yeah, I was going to say, is that an option? Please. Pugs? Yeah. Okay. So I'll just go around. Keezy, other than vast quantities of food, what's your sort of dietary requirements? Well, I don't really have requirements. I do prefer, obviously, if we're having mince, that it be pork mince. Pork mince, yep. But to be honest, Mo, I'm just happy to be there, you know? Yeah, sure. What about your wife? She's the same, pork mince, to be honest. Do you like pork mince too? To be honest, if there's not pork mince, she will be a bit weird and awkward. Okay. But I don't want it to dictate the whole afternoon.
31:59Mike Minogue:Okay, sure. But other than that, we're pretty sweet as.
32:02Keyzie:What do you do? Look, I'm open to all experiences, Mogi. Culinary and whatever else. We're not doing that.
32:12Mike Minogue:What? We're not doing that.
32:15Keyzie:Doing what? Culinary and whatever else. Yes. Come on, man. Well, I'm just thinking he might have some great entertainment going on. Oh, yeah. My wife, she'll eat anything
32:31Mike Minogue:Garbage guts, you call her, eh?
32:33Keyzie:Yeah And you'll eat anything as well, Jase? Yeah, pretty much, man Yeah, yeah, yeah Nothing you hate? Yes, cold tofu Cold tofu, but you like the hot stuff I like it hot and spicy
32:47Mike Minogue:I don't like seafood Oh, yes But Sorry, Keezy, because I've moved on to Jase now That is a massive ball ache. No, no, no. But what I was going to say is I'm weaning myself onto it, remember? Oh, right. So as long as it's not, oh, here's a whole. Sort of like frozen prawns sitting on the mantelpiece for a few hours. Fish fingers? Yeah. Good as gold. Okay, no worries. What about you, Pug Son, man? Well, look, let me just start by saying it's not just tofu that my partner gets around, all right? No. There's also paneer. Paneer, yeah. It's cheese, eh?
33:16Keyzie:It's like a cheese, yeah. Yum. What, she likes it or doesn't like it? She likes it. Oh, okay. She's a vegetarian. She loves beans as well, right? She's a big bean freak.
33:27Mike Minogue:And lentils and stuff. That's why I call her at home, bean freak. Yeah. But that's for a different reason, though. Yeah.
33:35What about spice levels, fellas? I still haven't decided on my menu, but I sort of thought I should determine what kind of spice levels each of you can handle, and your partners as well, of course. We'll start with you, Pugs, huh?
33:47Mike Minogue:So are we talking like what, mild, medium, hot? Yeah, that's smart. Cool. That's a good way of doing it, Pugs Good idea I like it hot I might write that down Yeah, no Mild What was the other one? Well, I mean I will be taking points off But yeah, medium Medium Yeah, yeah, yeah It was the third one The third one was genius Some people go medium hot As like a hyphen word Oh, you've lost me Yeah, okay So that's hot Yeah And which of the three do you like? I'm hot Yeah, what about your missus? She's hot Ah, she's more of a medium Most of the time Oh, spice wise Yeah, I'd agree with you Yeah
34:22Keyzie:Hooray, Jay. Indian hot for me, thanks, Mogi. You can't say that, Jay. That's racist. Is it? I'm not going to allow for that at this event. Now, I understand that at your event... It's going to be quite... Yeah, it's going to be pretty spicy all round. At mine, we're going to be playing it with a straight bat. I like it hot, hot, hot. Okay, that's good. Yeah. Your wife? She likes it hot, hot. Okay.
34:46Mike Minogue:So too hot. To be honest, my wife and I can be hot. Yeah. But we prefer medium. Yeah, sure. Just because there's no admin. You can enjoy it. Yeah, you just eat it.
34:56Keyzie:You remember the debacle when we went to an Indian restaurant and we got some Indian hot dishes? I do, many years ago, Jase.
35:02Mike Minogue:Yeah, and Kese lost his shit. Because you got four Indian hot, two of them are vegetarian, and all I wanted was a butter chicken. Well, Kese, you were late. Was I? And so Jase and I had to order for you. And you were absolutely fuming. Okay, well, this is God complete. I don't even remember being fuming. I do remember that. But yeah, that's good as gold. I can look after that as well. There'll be those sort of options as well. And what about when it comes to drinks? Are you guys all good if we get hammered pissed? Yeah, can you? The hell yeah, Jase. Responsibly. I'll go mild there, Moggy. Okay, well, we're going to be responsible about it, but just.
35:38I like a sparkling water.
35:39Mike Minogue:I'm going to start now. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.
35:50Mike Minogue:It's Beer and Pie July on Radio Hovangies.
35:54Keyzie:Sure bloody is. We give away$250 worth of cash thanks to Dad's Pies. Coming towards the end of it, fellas.
36:03Mike Minogue:We are, and I've just heard that we've actually got more in the coffers than anticipated. Oh, how good. So over the next few days, we might have to up the amount of cash we give away.
36:10Keyzie:That sounds like a great idea, Keezy. I see old Pugson. He went to the gym hard out today, did some running, and he said, I've earned myself a pie and I said Kia kaha.
36:20Mike Minogue:Yeah, it was the 12 beers he had with it that was kind of like that. Yeah, that was a shocker
36:23Keyzie:isn't it?
36:23Mike Minogue:He just pounds the beersies. Yeah, it was crazy. By the way big shout out to Dad's Pies for giving us the cash to give away and don't forget there is a serious amount of pride baked into every single Dad's Pies. Is that true? Bloody oats. Yeah, it's bloody oats.
36:37Keyzie:You can taste it. Let's go to the phone lines. G'day Kerry, you mad bastard. How's life? Oh, g'day lads. How are you? Good, thanks mate. Good, good, good. Good. Hey, Kerry, what do you do for a crust? I'm a project manager. Oh, you're a backbone. You're an organiser. You're sort of like Kesey with his flying pigeon. You heard about his flying pigeon, man? I have.
37:00Mike Minogue:Yeah. They're bloody flying rats, aren't they? Yeah, well, they are, mate, traditionally, but this is a proper athlete pigeon. And by the way, Mogi, all pigeons fly.
37:08Keyzie:Tell me, Kerry, when you're on the site, they're effing and jeffing at all the people that aren't doing their jobs. What sort of pie do you like to hoe through?
37:19Mike Minogue:I like steak and cheese myself. Mushroom. Oh yeah. Yes. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Yes. Yeah, and what do you wash that down with, man? Do you have like a dessert as well? No, I usually just wash it down with a coffee. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right, okay. Just as a sort of a sidebar there, Kerry, do you reckon your mushroom pie there, your steak and mushroom pie, sort of a bit less mushroomy as you get older? Oh, depends where you get them from, really. I guess it's that. I just find that mushrooms aren't as mushroomy as they were when I was a kid, you know? Oh, back in the old days.
37:54Keyzie:You mean taste-wise or do you mean quantity-wise? The taste and flavour of a mushroom used to be a hell of a lot stronger 30-odd years ago, say. Even 40 years ago. But now you're sort of eating a mushroom, but there's no real discernible flavour, in my opinion. Yeah, right. Text us 3483 if you've got an opinion. Oh, that's true. Could be that. Could be the field mushrooms. Good news, Kerry. You've just won yourself$250, mate.
38:22Mike Minogue:Oh, you bloody beauty.
38:23Keyzie:No worries, man.
38:24Mike Minogue:Good on you, Kerry. Hey, you hold the line, mate, and Pugs will mail that down to you. Cheers, guys. Thank you. Thanks, mate. No worries, brother.
38:32Keyzie:Do you think it's because they're all sort of farm-grown now? You know what it is, man? I think with a mushroom, if I had to guess, and this is a guess, I think a mushroom used to be something that people either liked it or they didn't. Yes. So because it was such a strong taste, and I think they've been farmed to a point now where it sort of sits a lot more in the middle of the road, so a lot more people are going to be willing to eat them than they would have been when they were a really strong flavour. I hear you.
38:59Mike Minogue:Is that your theory?
39:00Keyzie:That's my theory. When I lived in Orede Point many, many years ago, we used to live next to farmland, Mogi. Yes. And you'd go in winter and you'd go with your bucket and you'd pack all these massive field mushrooms. Yeah. And they were so fresh and so delicious. Bit of butter, bit of garlic. Yeah. Chop the bastards up, chuck them in there, and they were so full of flour, they would turn into mushroom soup. Yeah, those weren't field mushrooms, they were cowpacks.
39:26Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.
39:30Keyzie:Live there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time is 5.41, and, fellas, I wonder if I can ask you a question. It's a question, interestingly, that I used to know the answer to, but now I'm in a state of confusion about. And it's this. When you go to the toilet, you know, and I live in a household with my wife and my daughters, well, my daughter now, Now, do you leave for your partners the seat up or down? And like, for example. The seat or the lid? The lid. The lid of the toilet. The seat or the lid?
40:14Mike Minogue:The lid. So like the lid that closes everything off?
40:18Keyzie:No, not that part. The seat. The seat of the toilet.
40:22Mike Minogue:So the seat, not the lid.
40:23Keyzie:Yeah, the seat of the toilet.
40:25Mike Minogue:Yeah.
40:25Keyzie:Do you, for the people following you, of the female persuasion, leave it up or down? Because I find myself doing my business, right, and then the lid will be up, for example, and I'll have a sort of slightly confused look on my face and it'll be, now hang on, do I put it down?
40:47Mike Minogue:Or is it that they hate it when it's down?
40:48Keyzie:Or do they hate it when it's down or do they prefer it to be up? And then I'll walk out to the lounge and I'll go, oh, no, they like it down. Oh, then you go back in. And then I'll go back in. But then I'll be like, but if I have to come back in and use it again, I'll do wheeze all over it. Yes. You know, and I don't want to be in a situation because I don't want to, if I'm doing wheeze, I don't want a lot of admin going on. No. You know, I don't want to have to sort of put it up and then put it down again. No. I see where you, yeah. Do you know what I mean?
41:16Mike Minogue:I know what you mean because when you overthink something, think about something too much, you do kind of get confused. Get confused, yeah. Yeah. I can't remember what I do.
41:25Keyzie:Because I know it's a bugbear for my wife, but I don't know what part of it's the bugbear, whether I've left it up or down. Well, it's one of those things, and that's interesting you bring it up, Jase, because we go through this, obviously, in our house as well. Wife and daughter, similar set up. And the correct answer is there is no correct answer. Oh, that'll be it. So what you're meant to do is the opposite of what you have done. Is that what I'm saying? Yes, I do, yes. it should have been down. If you leave it down, who left the seat down? You know, that sort of stuff.
41:55Mike Minogue:If you close the lid, oh, why is the lid closed? Yeah, that's right. And if you leave it, oh, you should have closed the lid. Gross.
42:01Keyzie:Yeah, well, I mean, I don't even, I mean, the lid just stays up. I don't even have, I mean, what's it called? The seat. The seat. I, you know, it's confusing enough. I just leave the lid permanently up. What I've ended up doing, the way that I've had to settle it with myself is because it can lead to tension around the house. Yes. Because, you know, and fair enough, they like things a particular way. I just go in the shower now. Oh, wheeze? You name it. Okay, yeah, well, that's an answer. Yeah.
42:31Mike Minogue:Right, okay. And then it's got nothing to do with me. And your wife's bit, and you've noticed that she's happier with that. Well, what they don't know can't hurt them. Can I put it to you that way? Oh. Yeah.
42:42Keyzie:Well, I always sort of think, like, if I'm doing a steamer. Yes. obviously I'll have the seat down for that because I don't want to sit on the porcelain rim. That's uncomfortable. And then I'll think to myself, well, actually after that I'll leave the seat down because it'll be nice and warm if someone wants to use it after me. You know what I mean?
42:58Mike Minogue:I think I know where you're going wrong. I think seat up, lid up, seat up, and I think sit on the porcelain. For ways? No. For both. For both. Right. And then when they come along, because you've been sitting on the porcelain, they'll be sitting as well. so just take the lid off in the seat. Just get a divorce.
43:22Keyzie:Now you're talking.
43:26Mike Minogue:Are you flushing?
43:28Keyzie:What do you mean?
43:30Mike Minogue:Do you flush the toilet afterwards?
43:33Keyzie:Gross, Keezy.
43:35Mike Minogue:Is that a yes?
43:41Keyzie:Kings of Leon!

44:10Mike Minogue:That's a movie coming to cinemas near you, fellas. Oh yeah. The Reburger movie. Fully bankrolled by Reburger, which is pretty cool.
44:18Keyzie:Very good. Now, listen, we're about to go into what's on the dinner with me, Keezy, next. Keezy, I used to look forward to what's on the dinner with you in terms of your actual life. You know, when you used to go home and you used to tell us what you were having for dinner. It's been very poor of late. I find myself coming away from the show feeling a bit down in the spirits. Hang on. knowing that you're going back home to a dinner that you're just not into.
44:46Mike Minogue:Well, no, hang on. Back in the day, all I'd eat was pork mints, remember? Yeah, well, those were the good days. Yeah, that was as good as it got. Well, no, it was good eating. Last night, fellas, we had tandoori chicken thigh. Well, that's not bad. On homemade flatbreads. Yes. Which my wife made in the air fryer using yogurt and flour. This delicious recipe. It's really nice.
45:04Keyzie:Did you get her to send me that?
45:06Mike Minogue:No. and some like, you know, your salad-y, you know, your pickled onions and stuff.
45:12Keyzie:Oh, I like a pickled onion. Yeah, I like a pickled onion. You were talking about mushrooms earlier in the show, Morgan. You don't see the pickled onion as much as you used to back in the day. Yeah, very rare to come across a pickled onion these days, and I think because people's palates, they're flattened out. You get your keezies over here, pork mints. Yeah, pickled onions. Ham and pineapple pizza. You never see him with a bloody pickled onion.
45:36Mike Minogue:I literally had it last night. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. It's that very homogenized, mediocre, sort of run-of-the-mill, meat-and-three-veg, missionary, missionary, missionary to death.
45:48Keyzie:Yeah, yeah. I mean, I used to love shoving a pickled onion in my gob, crunching away there.
45:53Mike Minogue:I'm thinking of a different onion. I'm talking about diced red onion pickled, and you sprinkle that on stuff. Oh, not a pickled onion. Not a whole one. Not a pickled onion. No, gross. Those are way too powerful. Pickled red onion you're talking about, which is something else. It's completely different. Yeah, right. Well, I can understand the confusion there. Hey, what are you having for dinner in New Zealand? Give us a text on 3483. You could win yourself 50 buck re-burger. Re-burger. Beautiful. Oh, yeah. Is that icky thumb? Oh, yeah.
46:18Keyzie:Icky thumb.
46:20Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.
46:26Keyzie:Audio Slave there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday evening. Let's have some Commonwealth Games chat. On your marks, get set, go. Hopscotch. Really or not, here I come. Bull rush.
46:40Mike Minogue:Tag your ass. Let's not fear. Duck, duck, duck, duck. Go. Marbles. What's on the Commonwealth Games with me, Keezy. That's right. What's on the Commonwealth Games with me, Keezy. We are five, four days into this sucker. Yeah, man.
46:57Keyzie:Sheesh, I'm glued to the bastard.
46:59Mike Minogue:Eight medals we've got so far, fellas. Yes. Three bronze, four silver, and finally a gold. Lewis Clarebert. Finally a gold. Yeah, well, because we haven't. Lewis Clarebert, 200-meter butterfly men.
47:13Keyzie:Yeah.
47:14Mike Minogue:Came first. He was at seventh at one point, saved it for the last length there, and then just gunned it home. That's how I always used to do it. Yeah. Let them get a little bit ahead of you, get confident,
47:25Keyzie:blow all their steam early, and then you come pounding through the middle.
47:30Mike Minogue:But you can't swim, Jase.
47:32Keyzie:Well, no, but I mean if you could.
47:34Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah. So just checking here and confirming a hunch, which is every single medal we have won is in the pool so far. Yes.
47:42Keyzie:Can I ask who's atop the medal table? Is it bloody Australia and England usually? Australia and the Commonwealth Games end up with thousands of medals because they normally find themselves in the top. Is it three or four at the actual Olympic Games where the whole world's invited? So in this particular one, where not as many countries are invited, they normally absolutely smash it.
48:03Mike Minogue:Well, it was so funny because we were in the office earlier today and we were like, should we ban Aussie as well? Yeah, I think so. Just to really tailor it to us. Aussie has 59 medals and are sitting first. Yeah, that's good. That is compared to New Zealand's eight. Aussie has 26 golds, 13 silvers and 20 bronze. The next closest is England, who are on 32. Yeah. So more than doubled them. Almost doubled them. Cheating bastards.
48:28Keyzie:Tell me, Kesey, what have you been enjoying in the games? What's your go-to?
48:33Mike Minogue:I'll be honest, the weightlifting has been very interesting. Today, genuine chat here, Nigeria took out the gold medal in three different weightlifting categories all within a couple of hours of each other. And it's like one of the greatest days in sporting history for the country of Nigeria because their weightlifters all won. Yeah, it brings a tear to the eye. Brings a tear to the eye. Also, because I'm working at Crowd Goes Wild during the days at the moment, they're identical Welsh twins performing in the gymnastics young blonde girls and they are they are what? young blonde girls they are I don't know 24 or something jeez that's old for a gymnast it actually is I have no idea yeah okay but they look identical same haircut same outfit I've never seen identical twins this splitting image they both won a bronze one on the vault and one on the uneven bars.
49:26Mike Minogue:And it looks like the same person. It's unbelievable. And they won within an hour of each other or something. It was ridiculous.
49:33Keyzie:I really enjoy the gymnastics. It's great stuff. I've been glued to the TV.
49:38Mike Minogue:Yeah, 100%. I've been enjoying it as well, the sort of integration of the para-athletes as well because you'll be watching someone lifting hundreds of kgs, a guy who's over 100 kgs himself, and then it'll cut to someone who's a lot smaller lifting. Not as much, but like a crap load of – It's just, I've felt it very entertaining. It's inspiring. Keezy, can I say, man, it brings a tear to the eye. Really? Can I say that, man? Well, you can. Well, it's inspiring, isn't it? It is, yes. It makes you think to yourself, man, we can do anything. Yep. We can do anything. That's you too, Keezy. You can do anything as well, man.
50:11Well, I don't know about anything. No, no, obviously not anything. Yeah, to be honest, most things. Not even much. Yeah, yeah. But, you know.
50:17Keyzie:You could definitely do 10 kg. If you put your mind to it, man, you could do anything. You can do that, Keezy. Really? Yeah, totally, man.
50:26Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.
50:32Keyzie:The Cure there on the Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday evening.
50:36Mike Minogue:Fellas, we've teamed up with Hire a Hubby again, the everything experts. This time we've got$1 ,000 worth of Hire a Hubby cash to give away. Bloody good. If you've got a massive job around your house that needs doing, you text the word hobby, hubby, sorry. You text hubby, H-U-B-B-Y to 3483 and tell us more about the job. Yes. And at the end of this week, we'll be calling someone and giving that away. It's bloody good eating. A thousand bucks. It's a lot of money. You can get a serious job sorted. You can get a serious job sorted.
51:02Keyzie:One of those ones that's been nagging you. You just can't be arsed.
51:06Mike Minogue:100%. You know what I mean? Like bringing in the washing. Tote. Holding it up and putting it away. Can't be bothered with that. That's not really hire a hubby. I mean, you'd want more. That's something you could do in like 10 minutes. Oh, no. There's heaps of stuff I could do. I could do it all. The point is I don't want to. Yes. No, I know. But this is more renovation type shit. Come around and sort of clean my fridge because I don't want to do that. I do it every week. Clean the toilet. You're thinking of a cleaner? Yeah, but if I get the vouch for hire a hubby, I'm hiring him. You're my hubby.
51:35Clean my kitchen. But I don't think they want people to think that that's what they're for.
51:38Keyzie:For me, it was like light bulbs. And it wasn't until I was in complete darkness that I'd think, God, I've got to get a hire a hubby in here.
51:45Mike Minogue:So you waited until the last light bulb went out.
51:49Keyzie:Yes. But actually, not even then, actually. Yeah, I still waited six months. Yeah. And then I went, I better get a hubby in here. Did you change the bulbs? Did you have candles or anything? Nah.
51:59Mike Minogue:Hey, people have started texting throughout 3483 stuff that needs doing. Hubby, I need someone to paint my soffits. Soffits. And my barge boards. Can you spell that for me? S-O-F-F-I-T-S. Soffits. I know what it is. It's either the architrave-y type. Right. Architrave-y type things. I'll be all right. It doesn't matter to me. It's the underside of the ceiling, of the overhang of your roof outside. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, you knew it. And the barge boards as well. Oh, yeah, the barge boards. Yeah, shocking bastards. A few people here are keen for some painting to be done. Retaining walls in a couple of places in the backyard.
52:37Yeah, a couple of retaining walls, yeah.
52:39Mike Minogue:Yeah, just whack a couple of them up. Yeah, whack a couple of those. Pruning the overgrown trees. That's a good one. It's a really good one, actually. Well, it doesn't take long, though. You can probably do it yourself. You can prune the trees that are overhanging there from your neighbour's place and then you have to have a fight with a neighbour. And that's the hire a hubby's job as well. Yeah, he can sort them out. Right, so the hire a hubby fights the neighbour. Yeah, well, my neighbour was a psycho. I used to hide from him. Actually, it would be good to get a hire a hubby to take me out for dinner and treat me nice.
53:05Yes. You know, make me feel special for a change. I'd hire a hubby to do that. Is that the sort of thing that they do? Buy me a couple of drinks, walk me to my door, kiss me goodnight?
53:13Mike Minogue:I'd hire a hubby for that. Depends on the hubby. Bring me in a coffee in the morning.
53:17Keyzie:Thank you.
53:18Mike Minogue:I think you're thinking of something different. 3483, though, text through. Hubby to 3483 with details of the job you need done. You can win$1 ,000. We're giving that away at the end of this week, fellas. Bloody good. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.
53:42Keyzie:Well, there you go, you mad bastards. That's the big show done and dusted for you Tuesday. In the podcast outro today, we were talking about a certain brand of yogurt, which poor old Pugsun then had to bleep out for about five hours. That's true.
53:59Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah, because old Horty J was bagging it. Here's a clip of tonight's podcast outro. It comes out at 7.30, and this clip is entitled Yogurt.
54:09Keyzie:She had some tweezers, and she got a whole tweezer full of M &Ms, and then drop them all over the floor. Oh, my God. Humiliating. How many can you carry in a tweezer? Well, she had a real... You mean like tongs? Yeah, tongs. Sorry, but I say tweezer. You just get one at a time. Yeah, one douche, douche. Yeah, great stuff. You should have been there.
