FULL SHOW: Top 5 For '25

17:45Mike Minogue:This is the segment where Mogey says what's terrible. Everything sucks with me, Mogey. Last night, I watched a show I haven't watched since I was in high school almost. Yeah. Graham Norton Show. Oh. Reason being, my wife was like, oh, Jacinda's on the Graham Norton Show. Yeah. Along with Alan Carr, Kate Winslet, Seth Meyers. Yes. And then Kat, who's a very talented, I forget her last name, but she was in Celebrity Traders UK. Right. And she was the musical artist. Oh, yeah. So I was like, oh, yeah, cool. Pretty interesting people. Jacinda was on there talking about her movie that's out. Prime Minister.

18:17Mike Minogue:Yeah. And my wife really wants to go and watch it. And then she played a couple of snippets, but I didn't realise that her partner, Clark Gayford, was literally filming on his phone behind the scenes at home her reactions to all the massive things she had to deal with, obviously, whether or not you supported her as a politician. Yeah. The things she had to deal with, like White Island and obviously COVID and the terrorist attack. Yes, that's it. And all her behind the scenes at home with a baby dealing with that stuff. I'm like, that's really, really interesting. And one of the – she was great.

18:49Mike Minogue:She came across very articulate, charismatic. She got a nice round of applause from the audience. Kate Winslet was absolutely enamored by her, which was pretty cool. One of the funniest things she did, though, was she showed a clip of her movie where Simon Bridges came across as a bit of a twat. Really? and her playing that on UK television and like global, I was like, that's very funny. That's a good little bit of ribbon there. She could have chosen any other clip, but she chose one where he looked like a bit of a twat and I was like, that's very funny. So yeah, I'm interested to watch the documentary now.

19:21Mike Minogue:You've seen it, haven't you, Pugs? I have seen it. Really, really good watch. Okay. Really, really good. Regardless of, again, as you say, regardless of what you think. Oh God, you've got to apologise for everything, don't you? No. She had a bloody tough run and I think she did a good job and I look forward to getting all the text messages that say that I'm a piece of shit. Pugs, what did you watch, man? Hi, Keezy. I watched Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring. The first one, director's cut? Not the extended edition, just the original. It's out on, I think it's on Neon. My partner has not seen any of the Lord of the Rings films.

19:52She's only seen The Hobbits, and I thought that was just bloody ridiculous. And so I put her on, and it was great. And how did she feel about it? She was loving it. I mean, she's not into any fantasy, nerdy-ish stuff. Which is what you're very much into. Well, yes, but I listened to a podcast recently called All the Right Movies who did a two and a half hour breakdown on that movie, and it was really, really well done. And I picked up so many tidbits, and so I thought I need to re-watch this regardless. And even though she's not into the fantasy stuff, she was really into the filmmaking achievements and the effort that went into that.

20:26The scope of the production. Unbelievable And like you know I watched it when it First came out many years ago But it was just Still stands up man Stands up Insanely well I watched it again Last year I think Or maybe earlier this year Yeah it's 25 years ago I give it like a 4.8

20:42Mike Minogue:4.8 buzzies And the thing It's because there are That many extras actually there And they are filmed It's not just all CGI All the camera tracks Are unbelievable How good 4.8 buzzies Out of 5 Get around it Not bad Pugs on Hey coming up after 5 o 'clock If you entered our iHeartRadio Alter Ego competition. You and a mate heading to Los Angeles to see some of the biggest alternative acts in the world. Make sure your phone's on because we could be calling you. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Yes, g'day, you massive backbones. It is the 15th of December, 2025.

21:16Mike Minogue:And you, as always, listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburger. Serving good times and good food. Dine-in or takeaway Reburger today.

21:28Burger!

21:29Mike Minogue:That's right, Reburger. If you've just joined us, we gave away$300 worth of Reburger a little while ago, and we'll be doing the same thing tomorrow. I tell you what, that'll be a great sting to chuck in there. Somebody's going to have to recreate that at some point this week, and that's going to be a doozy. That's right, you have to call up, you have to listen to a sting, and then recreate it instantly on the phone. The three winners did a bloody great job. Mogi, coming up next... Yeah, mate. You have your top five list of TV shows you've watched this year. That's right, I do. I thought we should do a best of since it's, you know, put a little neutral end of the year kind of content.

22:01Mike Minogue:Oh, right. So we're going to do best of TV shows today. Also this week will be movies, podcasts, books. Right. I know you're a voracious reader there, Pugs. Anything about cheese and you're just consuming it at a great rate or not. Smothering myself in it. Pugs is all about cheese just for anyone listening. What he means is that he said earlier that I smell like cheese. That's right. And I'm also going to chuck in my top five video games as well. That's a good idea. No, that's good. Really? Yeah, absolutely we should do that. We're chucking it in neutral, man. Hang on, no, no. But, Mogi, you might be, but I'm very much in top gear.

22:35Mike Minogue:I know, that's top gear for you. Foot to the floor. That's me just sort of now I can tune out for a break. You know, that's good stuff for old Mogi. Or I can just fire pot shots from the sideline. That'll be more my style, I think. Yeah, I think so. Okay, so Horty J's away so we can talk about video games. All right, fine, we'll do that later in the week. Up next, though, it is Mogi's top five TV shows. Pugs and I will give our top five for the year a little later on. Plus, if you enter the draw for Alter Ego, keep your phone on. We will be calling a winner shortly. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy.

23:03Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

23:06Mike Minogue:Green Day on the Hauraki Big Show, 11 minutes past five this Monday afternoon with Keezy, Mogi and Pugsan. And it's time for Mogi's Top Five.

23:17You know, we've been working on this segment for weeks, knowing that this was coming up in the last week of the show, and that's what you've got for me. Do that again, that stink? Sorry, hang on. Here we go. Mogi's Top 5. That's good.

23:29Mike Minogue:You like that? Yeah, sorry, the first time. It's growing on me, that. It's really good. Took me ages. Hey, we're doing a whole series of Mogi's Top 5, but it's actually the whole big show. We'll be doing everybody's top fives if they've managed to put them together. Today, fellas, we're going to do TV shows. Mogi's Top TV shows of 2025. Question already from Hayden on 3483. Surely Mogi will do a Top 5 worst TV show. And I think I should, but that is going to be a list significantly more difficult to put together. The trouble that I had with this list was finding five shows that I liked, 100%. I will not struggle to do that with five shows that I hated.

24:01I should do it as I go on, actually, throughout the year. This should be a boozy-based system. Keep the score. Yeah, if you can keep the score all next year, Pugs, that'd be great, man. Cheers, brother. Hey, coming in at number five is Mr. Inbetween, which I talked about a lot last year as well, but it's still a show that I keep watching and I love and it's always going to be on my list. This is a show that comes out of Australia. It's from effects. You can watch it at the moment on Disney. It's about four seasons there and it's about Ray Shoesmith, who's a hitman for hire, who makes a life out of balancing his criminal activities with obligations to friends and family.

24:37Mike Minogue:That's right. Just to clarify, this is just the five best TV shows you've watched this year. That's right. They don't have to have come out this year. It's when I watch them. Ah. Which makes things easier for me. First up is The Flintstones. No, it's not The Flintstones. Fourth is The Last of Us Season 2. Oh, yeah, you enjoyed it. Which did come out this season. This year, sorry. I really enjoyed it. It's so well made, so well acted. I think they've done a bloody great job of it. And also, I've never played the video game upon which the show is based, so I don't get to engage in the chit-chat around, Oh, this is different.

25:14Mike Minogue:To be fair with The Last of Us, I've only seen season one, but my opinion on that first season was they not only captured it perfectly, but the additions were excellent. And I think with season two it's a bit different because I think what they did with her character, Bella Ramsey. Yeah. Ellie. Yeah. I think they've changed her quite a bit from the video game, which I think people are annoyed with. Right, okay. But people are going to be annoyed. But for me, who had not seen it, loved it. It was the old. Absolutely loved it. Next up in third position, Slow Horses Season 5, which is available to watch on Apple TV.

25:51And it stars Gary Oldman and a really great cast, actually. And every season it's like a terrorism act of the week sort of thing, and it's them trying to solve that. This was definitely the worst season that they've had. It was a little bit stupid. But great acting, great show. Highly recommend. Watch all of it if you haven't watched any of it. Coming in at number two, and this was a big surprise for me, also available, and I think this is Prime. Might be Prime. We'll see how we go. No, I think it's Apple. I'll diggle it. It's Mobland. Mobland. Starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, as well as Paddy Considine, who I'm a big fan of.

26:30It's a London crime family. They find themselves in a battle with another London mob family. And kill, kill, kill, die, die, die.

26:41Mike Minogue:Right, that is on Watch Prime. Watch Prime. There you go. So that's your top four. That's my top four. Now, coming in at number one.

26:50Talkback starring Hoity Jisbo and Old Moogna. Adolescents. Adolescents, which is on Netflix, also known as Netflix. And that's starring Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham. It's a UK thing. Every episode is a single shot, but it focuses on a young kid who may or may not have committed a murder. And it goes through his arrest and then the effect that it has on both him, his victims and his family. Wow. Won a lot of awards and is really bloody good. It's on Netflix, produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment. Highly recommend, even though it's pretty heavy. It is very heavy. It is a heavy show, but it's definitely the best made, best acted and most original thing that I saw on television this year.

27:38and I thought they did a bloody great job of it.

27:40Mike Minogue:Sweet. I thought Game of Two halves might have been there, but that's all good. All right, so Moggy's Top 5, it is there now for you. Listening pleasure. Check it out. We'll have Pugs and myself a little later on. And coming up next, we are going to be calling the winner of the iHeartRadio Alter Ego competition that is you and a mate heading to LA, flights, hotel,$1 ,000 spending money and getting to see some of the biggest alternative rock acts in the world, Green Day, Cage the Elephant, etc. Get your phone on, we could be calling you.

28:26Mike Minogue:Yeah, you wish. Jokes. It's time to give the sucker away. What is iHeart Radio Alter Ego, I hear you ask? It's a massive festival. It's happening in LA January the 17th, 2026, Kia Forum, Los Angeles. Pretty sure that's where the Lakers play. I don't know. One of the NBA teams. I don't know.

29:02Yeah, yeah.

29:03Mike Minogue:Now to get yourself in the draw for this, you had to listen out for the cue to call. You had to call us on 0800 Hauraki. It was that easy. People set our number on speed dial, Mogi, to try and get in there straight away. Because you have to be quick. You have to be real quick. Should we call the winner? King. Let's do it. It's a good idea. Hopefully they answer.

29:28Mike Minogue:Hello, Brent speaking. Hi, Brent. It's Keezy Mogi and Pugsan. How are you? Oh, my God. I'm off to LA. Does that mean you can't talk to us? You're busy. Brett, Brett, Brett, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. How do you know? How do you know? We just ring it up to know, because we wanted to know what you do for a crust, man. Well, I just got employee of the year at Cordes Hotel as commissioner. Did you? Holy moly, congrats, man. Listen to this guy patting himself on the back. No, hello, Pete. It's been the best week of my life, guys, and you've just topped it off. I mean, man, can this week get any better?

29:59I just need to win Lotto now, and it'll be the trifecta.

30:03Mike Minogue:Right, holy heck. Well, have we got good news for you, man? We do have good news for you, Brent, because you and a mate are off to LA to see Alter Ego, mate. Oh, my God. Thank you so much, guys. I am fizzing, fizzing, fizzing. Oh, man. Who are you taking with you, Brent? I'm taking my brother Grant Lobbin, who plays Damo off Shortland Street. Right. Damo off Shortland Street is heading to Alter Ego. I'm not familiar with Damo. He's not that guy that just got into a bit of road rage the other day, is he? He's not. But his best friend's Reece Darby, who lives in L.A. And Reece has flown around to L.A.

30:37and he's never flown me. So now it's my turn.

30:39Mike Minogue:Oh, how good, mate. How's that? Well, the good news for you, mate, is you are heading to L.A. with your brother. You make sure you have a fantastic time, mate, all right? Oh, my God. It's awesome. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless. No worries. No worries, Brent. You hold the line, mate. No problem. And Big Dilly will sort you out there. Big shout-out as well to Air New Zealand for making this whole thing possible. Yes. Of course, you can fly direct to L.A. and with their seamless connections thanks to United Airlines, you can experience the entirety of what the USA has to offer. Very happy bloke there.

31:09Mike Minogue:Fellas, job well done. Oh, mate, how stoked will you be? And that's a Monday as well. That's a good start to the week. It's a bloody good start to the week. Coming up next, great content in the form of myself and Pugsans. Hello. Top five TV shows of the year. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. It is the Foo Fighters on the Hauraki Big Show. So Monday afternoon with Keezy Mogey and Old Pugs, and Hoody J is officially on holiday. We're still here, fellas, and I think it's time for us to reflect. It's time to reflect on a big year, 2025, and the best way to do that is by playing a best-off moment from 2022.

31:43Now, a lot of people say that we're just using this as a way to, you know, sort of eat up a break. We can't be bothered coming to the table with fresh ideas around content, and you'd be 100 % right.

31:53Mike Minogue:Well, no, I disagree with that. I think coming to the table with a clip from three years ago is groundbreaking, and it's fresh. Yes. It's like you've got it out of the freezer, you've let it defrost, now you've microwaved it and it's time to chow down. And it's also not less work for me, Mogi, because I'm sifting through the zackhocks and I'm having to listen to this show. Yes. This particular clip you're about to hear is one of the first acting gigs that I believe Jace tried to get me and this is me practising to become an actor once again from December 2022. Now, as you know, I'm Keezy's agent.

32:25So I've been working my arse off, Keezy. as has Mano with all of his connections, getting you some audition pieces, mate. It's not easy. Right. I'll be honest with you, mate. It's not easy. Well, it's hard when you've got somebody who's starting out as old as you are, Casey. Yeah, yeah.

32:40Mike Minogue:Well, I'm only 31. That's not that old, is it? No, no. Well, I was 32 when I started. Well, there you go. But there's undeniable talent there, you know. And not everybody's got that, for example, you know, you. But you can learn on the job as you go. Yeah, I'm a fast learner. Yeah, yeah. And it's just getting little bits at a time and just increasing the size of those roles, wouldn't you say, Jase? Yeah, totally. And it's all about sort of getting comfortable on set. It's all about, you know, learning about the process. Yeah. Learning about character and stuff like that. Preparation is key. Oh, massively.

33:11You know, you've got to know your lines, man. You've got to know your lines. Yeah, I mean, we had that audition last week, didn't we? And you butchered the line. I mean, that's... Yeah, that was... But to be honest, I mean, I wasn't really... That really stands out in my mind. I didn't really want that. When you do these auditions, you're going around with a casting director. Right. That person is never going to see you for another project again when you start butchering lines like you did last week. Yeah, totally. Which is why we're going through this routine, to make sure that we're ironing out all the unprofessional habits that you've got.

33:42Okay, yes.

33:43Mike Minogue:Well, I massively appreciate you guys doing this. Yeah, I mean, there's a difference between just butchering a line through your acting and actually stuffing the line up. No, that's true. You know what I mean? Anyway, have we got some, we need some kind of world, some battle kind of scene, background. Now, this is a big project coming down to New Zealand, man. Oh, this is exciting. Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay. Exterior. Western Front. Nice. Day. As bombs rain down on the Allied forces, two soldiers sprint for a key German stronghold in a last-ditch effort to break the Nazi advantage. Oh, soldier, this is awesome.

34:31Keezy, don't talk, man. Sorry, sorry. Suddenly, a depraved sicko with half a mongrel emerges from behind a blackened tree stump. Depraved sicko. What are you guys up to?

34:47What?

34:48Mike Minogue:I thought I was one of the soldiers. Yeah, well. Well, no, I'm a depraved sicko. What's a half-mongrel, by the way? So imagine, if you will, Keezy, all around you, carnage, death, pain, despair, and you give me that? You give me that? Yeah, okay. Unbelievable. The issue I'm having is that I thought I was one of the soldiers, and I'm, what is it? You're a depraved sicko. Depraved sicko. What happens, Keezy, and I'm prepared to give you a bit of background on this, we've got the character description. What happens with a lot of soldiers is they can get shell-shocked if they've been on the front too long.

35:22And reading between the lines here, this depraved sicko, who God knows what he's been up to in no man's land out there with all those corpses, he is probably suffering from shell shock. Oh, massively, massively. So he sees a couple of live fellas and he's thinking to himself, here we go. And what's a half mongrel? Well, it says here, suddenly a depraved sicko brandishing half a mongrel. I mean, you can probably guess. Yeah. Like a semi. Oh, yeah. Want to do it again?

35:50Mike Minogue:Sure. Okay. Does he have to have a semi? Exterior. Western Front. Day. As bombs rain down on the Allied forces, two soldiers sprint for a key German stronghold in a last-ditch effort to break the Nazi advantage. Suddenly, a depraved sicko brandishing half a mongrel emerges from behind a blackened tree stump. Depraved sicko. What are you guys up to?

36:25Mike Minogue:Was that all right or, you know, was that? Well, I think. I don't even know where that came from, Keezy. Well, it's just me going, imagining being, having a semi for some reason, being in my undies and then seeing some guys just going, what are you guys up to? Well, the thing about it is, Keezy, first of all, you've got to ask yourself where did this depraved sicko come from? And I don't mean in the last minute. Yes. I mean, where was he born? What's his story like? He's German, man. What's his story? What's his story, Kenzie? Yeah, how did he get there? You've got to do some research, man. So I'm sort of like a half-naked Nazi guy with pretty much no pants on.

37:01Yes. No, you've got your pants on.

37:02Mike Minogue:Oh, you've got your pants on. Yeah. Right, yeah. It's a bit of tent action. Okay. Okay, you ready to go again? Sure. Exterior. Western Front. Day. As bombs rain down on the Allied forces, two soldiers sprint for a key German stronghold in a last-ditch epic to break the Nazi advantage. Suddenly, a depraved sicko, brandishing half a mongrel, emerges from behind a blackened tree stump. Depraved sicko. What are you guys up to?

37:47It's not a carry-on movie, is it? Yeah. Remember those carry-ons?

37:51Mike Minogue:Yeah. Oh, what are you guys up to? Oh, is this my only German? I didn't know I had to do a German accent. Yeah. In terms of the accent, it was quite good, but I just think, yeah. Needs more work? I'm thinking Minogi too soon. What are you guys up to? Yeah. What about, like, suddenly? Finally, a sniper's shot rings out. Did I die? Yeah, we could probably just pull the trigger before the line. Yeah, yeah. What did you guys? The douche! Yeah, you died many times before that, Keezy. Great. Well, thanks for that, fellas. Yeah, it's so great reliving that old stuff there, feels. That's good stuff there, feels.

38:37Mike Minogue:That's good content. If you do want to hear any of this old stuff, every show we've ever done is available. Wherever you get your potties from, so make sure you go and check it out. Coming up after 6 o 'clock, we give away the lazy boy that has been sitting in the corner of our studio for the last few weeks, plus more best of the Hauraki Big Show.

A couple of weeks ago, we played Wind Ross Farm Golf Course. Now, there's a bloke there named Sam who is today and right now in the middle of doing something called The Longest Day. It's raising funds for the Cancer Society. It usually is 72 holes or four rounds of golf played all at once. Sam is playing eight rounds back-to-back right now. Still no golf cart, nothing walking. Oh, my God. Eight games of 18 holes. Once again, it's raising funds for the Cancer Society. He started at 5.30 a.m.

40:25The Hodaki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hodaki.

40:31Mike Minogue:Tool on the Hodaki Big Show, Keezy, Mogi, and Pug-san. It's time to give it all away, Mogi. We're giving away a freebie, man. I'm bloody thrilled about this, but also disappointed at the same time because this is the incredible Lazy Boy that we've had sitting here in studio for the last two to three weeks, I'd say. I've really come to enjoy it. It's been where I've sat to watch a lot of cricket, a couple of test matches I've already watched in that. So we're giving it away today. Whoever gets it is going to be bloody thrilled. That's right. We've started to refer to it as Mogey's Lazy Boy. Yes.

41:03Mike Minogue:It is brand new. It is the official launch of the Neo X Power Recliner. This is one of the very first ones in the country. You had to text LAZY to 3483 to get yourself in the draw. I believe Jeff did exactly that. Jeff, you mad bastard. How's life, mate? Oh, going bloody grouse, you fellas, all right? Yeah. Not bad, mate. What do you do for a crust, Jeff? Oh, I'm a chippy, mate. Yeah, bad guy, bad guy. Hey, Jeff, are you a lazy boy? Oh, some would say. Some would say, righto. Do you enjoy sitting on your ass, man? Oh, especially around five-day cricket test. Yeah, I reckon. Well, I think, you know, what Keezy's missing here is that you are a chipper.

41:42You are a backbone. You know, you're slaving away all day. You're putting your back into it. When you get home, you need somewhere that really helps you to relax and probably fall asleep, especially if it is the cricket. Oh, you just nailed it right on the head there, Moggy. Absolutely.

41:58Mike Minogue:Well, the good news for you, Geoff, is you will be sitting in style, my friend, because you have won that Neo X Power Recliner, Lazy Boy. Oh yeah, that's the one boy Yeah boy Oh that is indeed the one Jeff, you are going to be sitting there with a wireless remote which lets you adjust the seat It has an iPhone and iPad holder It has a charger for your iPhone It has cup holders that keep things secure and everything you expect from a Lazy Boy It's bloody comfortable too and best part is Mogi's been ripping ass in it for two weeks I'll get the cleaner in first thing and we'll give that a little bit of sanitation Honestly, man, it really lends a certain something to it.

42:38I wouldn't get it cleaned at all. I'll add to it, mate. I'm looking forward to that.

42:44Mike Minogue:Bloody ripper there, Jeff. Hey, well, congratulations, mate. You enjoy that brand-new Lazy Boy, and you hold the line because old Dilly's going to send it out to you personally, all right? Oh, thanks, fellas. That's awesome. Cheers. Have a good night.

43:39Mike Minogue:Quatsa, Queens of the Stone Age on the Hauraki Big Show. It is time for another Best of the Big Show moment. What year is this one from, Pugsa? This is also 2022. I'll explain what I went for. So, you know, we do a few of these best shows every now and then, and it's always, there's not really a lot of method to how I do it. I sort of go off what I'm reading. I think, oh, we haven't had that in a while, et cetera, et cetera. But this time I was going for clips that were around about this time in years past. Right. But what I noticed is that the last two years prior to this, we've already been on holiday.

44:09Right. So it was already in like the best of podcasts on this date. Right. Last year and the year before. Sure, sure, sure. So we're hanging around. So I went a little bit further back

44:18Mike Minogue:in like early December. Right, okay. So this is from early December 2022. I can see it labeled here as the segment that we no longer do. That's it, man. It was called How Does That Work? Do you remember that segment moment? No, that's not what it was called. What was it called? It was called There's No Such Thing As A Stupid Question. Oh, is that what it's called? Yeah. Did we ever show... Your reading's fallen off there, Keith. Come on, man. Did we ever see we're called How Does That Work as well? Yes, we did. All right, well, here it is. I see where that got gassed pretty quickly. What is it called again?

44:48Mike Minogue:No Such Thing As A Stupid Question. Yeah, remember that. How does that work? Are we there yet? Jeez, what's that about? How old's the sun? There's no such thing as a stupid question. No, there's not. Text us 3403. Ask us anything you want. There you go. Because, yeah, no such thing as a stupid question. All right, fellas, here's a good question. Well, just on that, you know, a lot of times you want to ask a question, you don't want to look like a fool. Exactly, Manu. So this is a safe place. Yes, it's totally a safe place. Do we accept calls on our 800 Hauraki? I think so. Oh, yeah, totally. Here's the first question.

45:28Mike Minogue:Why is it called rush hour when nothing moves? Good question. Yeah, that's a very good question, actually. I think it comes from the fact that everybody's rushing to get home. Oh, yeah. You know, and so everybody gets out there, and then the net result of that key, and you won't know this, is that all the traffic is bumper to bumper. Yeah, totally. It's almost ironic, isn't it? It's like a kidney stone in your urethra. Yeah, totally, man. Yeah, it totally is. It just blocks that channel and so everything just stops and you get weepy weens. Or it's like a constipated back door. Yeah, yeah. You know, everything needs to come out, but it can't.

46:07Yeah, totally, man. Yeah. Well, you wouldn't know about that. How do you know? Because you're always laying steamers. Massive ones.

46:18Mike Minogue:Totally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's another question. if a tree falls down in the forest and no one is around to hear it is Keezy still wasted? Yes. I mean if anything dot dot dot Keezy still wasted. Still wasted. And the only you know qualifier to that statement is to what degree? Thank you. Is the grass green? Is the sky blue? Is the ocean wet? Yes. Is Keezy steamed? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's another question. What's the best wattage light bulb to use with a dimmer switch? Oh, that's a great question. 80 to 100? Always. If you go over there, what you'll find is it can start flickering. Yes.

47:08If you can go under that, it starts sort of doing those long, wavy, sort of dropping out motion, yeah. You could drop down to 70. Oh. But you're pushing it. I could risk it. You're really pushing it. You wouldn't want to have a special event on Keezy with a 70 water. No. You can trust an 80 water. Yeah. I've got a cupboard full of 83 waters. Yeah. 86s, a couple of 89s. I ran a 60 once for my 40th disaster. Yeah, I had a 69. Yeah, yeah. Oh. Yeah, the 69, it's just. What? It's. Does it look nice? Pardon?

47:45Mike Minogue:Does it look nice, though? What, the 69? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it looks as nice as any other kind of light bulb, I guess. It depends what sort of atmosphere you're looking for. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Someone here wants to know, when is the rage in the cage happening with Easy Peasy Keezy and off-my-face Jase? And if you don't know, that's me and Jase having a ruckus. Mano a mano. I'll be honest with you. We went out together over the weekend, the boys and I, and I don't know how to talk about this, but Keezy, we met up with him after the Billy Joel concert, didn't we? God, it was a sad story, wasn't it, mate?

48:24Oh, my God, what a bloody shabble. Well, Keezy over there, I don't really want to sort of go into it on air, but he was in pieces, wasn't he? Yeah. Because he'd sort of come and had a tete-a-tete. There was somebody standing up in front of him, Billy Joel, so he sort of got into a physical altercation, got his ass handed to him on a platter, Totally. The fellow was 83 years old. Yeah. Yeah, but he was a farmer. And because he was so humiliated from that, Minogi. And his wife helped as well. And we met up with him. He went to Hoidi with the big de-doosh. And Hoidi just ducked and he just lost all the sort of fat, fell forward.

49:07I just fell forward. And he face planted on me. Did he? Didn't he? Oh, that's right. All the crazes there. and I got up and just absolutely clopped Hoody right in the face there and he went down. But in terms of that, where maybe next year? Yeah. The Keezy Hoody J Stout. Whatever happened to that? That's right. I was just you two talking rubbish about how you're going to beat each other up and it never happened.

49:32Mike Minogue:Well, I mean, I could still beat them up, Moki. Yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, okay. Hey, don't forget every show we've ever done available from wherever you get your podcasts from.

It's a real email address, by the way. Meet Patty Nips 69 at gmail.com. Keep the emails coming. Sorry, what? Patty's coming. Keep the meat coming.

50:15Oh, God. We've had an email here from Anonymous, and they've said, look, I'm in a bit of a situation here. The MISO proposed the idea of a three-person lovemaking session. Really? And me being totally blinded by the excitement of what I thought was to come, I didn't bother to specify that I'd only be comfortable if it was another female involved. However, come today, my partner said she's found a man that she'd like to have join us. Oh, yeah. And I don't know how to tell her that I don't want to see another bloke doing what I do worst. Any help is appreciated. Cheers, fjolls. What I do worst. Oh, yeah.

50:51Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's interesting, isn't it? Because I don't know how, how do you feel about this, Moggy? Because obviously when you hear a threesome, you think, sweet, two females. Lock it, this is me talking as you. Do you? Oh, I'm him, yeah. You know what I mean? How do you feel bringing another dude in there? How do I feel about it? Look, I love it. I always have. It takes the workload off me. It is a workload, isn't it? Yeah, I can sort of sit back a little bit more, pop out, hang the washing out. Is there a word for that? Do a bit of vacuuming, all that sort of thing. Well, there's cucking, but that's sitting in the corner watching.

51:28I'm actually not interested at all. Right, so in yours. I'm just going to get some things done because I've got a little bit of work to do on my laptop, as you know, Casey. so I'll just pop out. Right. Is that a threesome though? I mean, I'm naked. Are you in the room?

51:42Mike Minogue:Nah, well, I come and go sort of thing. You all good? Need anything? Glass of water? Yeah, right, okay. Keep it down, would you? Yeah, right. So for you, it's more about convenience and the ability to get more stuff done. I consider it a, you've got a surrogate essentially, somebody stepping in on behalf of. Now, if it's both of you in the bed at the same time or any room in the house, Yeah, I don't know how I'd feel about that. Yeah, okay. That to me would be weird. I think it's certainly one of those things that I think when Push would need to come to shove, I'd need to be there in the moment.

52:15I wouldn't want Push to come to shove. I wouldn't want any kind of physicality.

52:19Mike Minogue:Have you met Push and shove though? They're good guys. I'd need to figure out, I'd need to be there in the moment and then decide. I wouldn't be able to plan it. You're right, Keezy. So let's say you're out on the hammer. Yeah. You're thinking to yourself, Jesus, guys, how good is this bloke? How good is this bloke? Oh, Keezy there, he's hanging out with his missus and there's a party, he's getting to the Weasel House. You know what I'd love? If he came home with us. And absolutely had the time of his life. How good would that be? Pugs, what's your view on this, man? Because I actually think that you'd be open to it.

52:56Oh, yeah, you're so politically astute. Oh, yeah, it's my political astuteness that makes me want that. Cheers, man. No, I have the opposite view to you guys. I would want to have enough of a discussion to know what we're going to go for here. Right. What do you mean? Like, he's ended up in that situation because he hasn't bloody talked. Just sit down and have a candid conversation. He's made an assumption. He has. He's made an assumption. And what does that do, man? Which is fair enough because, I mean, certainly you would clarify. Yeah, you go, hey, we're talking two females here, right? And at this point he can just say no.

53:32Now, similarly, he can't expect to say, I want two females if he's not prepared to allow two males. So that's completely – so it's probably going to end in a dead rubber.

53:41Mike Minogue:Maybe that's the compromise. Either it ends in a dead rubber and they don't do it or they try both. Oh, I tell you what. You don't want to bring in an absolute champion though, do you? Yeah, well, that rules me out then. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki

54:09Mike Minogue:Oh that's a good tune I love it man It is the end of the Hauraki Big Show for Monday the 15th of December and if you've enjoyed the show or you've just joined us and you want a little more don't forget you can get our podcast it comes out at 7.30 every night we do bonus content as well what is today's bonus outro clip all about, Pugsun? Dilly in Studio B has carefully curated a clip titled Boring As. Right. Dilly, dilly, dilly. And so we walked over and we're standing there just watching and then a drunk guy comes up. He's like, g'day fellas. We're like, hey man, how you going? He's like, yeah, good.

54:39Mike Minogue:What's going on? I was just watching this. He's just like, f*** you guys are boring as in real life, man. I thought I was going to come over here and you guys were going to make me crack up, man. But you're being real quiet. Oh my God. And I was literally like, couldn't be bothered to explain. I was like, man, we just finished broadcasting a whole show and Hoity J's got a headache. People scream in the face. Also, what are we, a show pony for you? And then he walked off. He's like, oh, well, if you guys are going to make me laugh, I'm going to leave then. And I was like, oh, can you see? I had a couple of directions.

55:03Mike Minogue:That was a yarn about a guy who was really gutted to meet me and Hoity J at Chasing the Fox there. That's okay. You can't impress everyone, man. Not the first and he won't be the last Keezy, man. Yeah. You know? Speaking of, what are you doing tonight at home, man? Well, I've got to go to my other office first because we've got a secret Santa tomorrow. but it's sort of a green one. Sustainable Secret Santa. Sustainable. So I'm going to go and pick up an old vacuum cleaner that I was wondering if I could just dump it on the street but now I don't have to. I can bring it in here and that'll be my Secret Santa and I've got a bit of other old tat that I need to get rid of too so it's going to be a big prize for whoever is lucky enough.

55:40Is this? I'm hoping it's me, Casey.

55:42Mike Minogue:Right, so you're treating Sustainable Secret Santa that we're doing in the office as like a collection day. It's like an organic collection. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's exactly how I'm treating it. And it is green. What's more green than an organic waste collection? Yeah, right. And your vacuum cleaner broke, eh? Oh, it doesn't work. Yeah, because it got all blocked up. Yeah, she's a, yeah, absolute heap. So Mogi's doing that. Pugs, what are you doing tonight? Hi, Keezy. I'm very aware of the fact that. Hi. Not that, Mogi. I'm not holding those either. Tonight I'm going to be eating some pizza and maybe watching some more Lord of the Rings.

56:17We'll bloody see. or I've got other TV shows to catch up on Love Island maybe, probably. Yeah, maybe, probably. But I'm aware that the end of the year is just going to come around very, very quickly. Yes, mate. How about you, man?

56:28Mike Minogue:Well, tonight my wife is at touch. She will be home about 8 o 'clock, I think. I've got to decide whether I want to cook the chicken meal or the lamb meal that we got from our food box delivery. Yes. I think I'm going chicken. And we will eat that together. We will then watch something, probably half an hour of a TV show. She will then go to bed and then I will be going online with my mates to play Ark Raiders. Nice. Ark Raiders. You're a weapon.
