The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Super groove

8:29Keyzie:there on the Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time, 25 minutes past four o 'clock and we're looking for tips on how to stay warm through the winter chill feels.

8:39Mike Minogue:Yeah, it's meant to be, well, last night I thought was the coldest night, but you guys are saying that tonight's meant to be the coldest night. Apparently so, yeah. I thought it was last night, but it doesn't matter. I mean, there's going to be cold days between now and spring. Yeah. No doubt about it. And one thing I noticed this morning at about 8am was my car windshield, and we're in Auckland, you know, but the car windshield was iced over, which is bizarre. That only used to happen to me when I was down in Christchurch there. But heaps of people texting through great advice on 3483, well, most people.

9:05Mike Minogue:I mean, one guy is being a funny bugger here. Rub ice cubes on your windscreen. Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's right. That's an option as well. Whenever I didn't have any urine, we'd get the ice cubes out. First choice, urine. Second choice, ice cubes. But wouldn't they ice? They're ice cubes now, they're Keezy. They were made out of my urine. Yes. Yeah. So we'd prepare them. We'd have a fridge full of ice cubes made out of urine. Deep freezer, yeah. And you're deep freeze there, ready to go. Well, hang on.

9:35Keyzie:If you have guests over for drinks and you don't use your ice cubes, you just make a couple of drinks. Yeah, give them some piss cubes. With a little lemony twist.

9:46Mike Minogue:Yeah, nice. So it was more, because, sorry, I thought that you were using urine for the temperature of it, but you were saying it just has to be urine. It doesn't matter how it works.

9:54Keyzie:Oh, no, it has a very astringent quality to it. Acidic. Yeah, it naturally melts things like ice. Oh, so it's the acidity of the. And it can be the heat, but also ice on ice dissolves ice.

10:07Mike Minogue:Yeah. You've never heard of that? No, I've never heard of that. That's good to know. God, you'd never survive in the bush, Keesie. He's a bit of a city kid, isn't he? Yeah, he tokes, man. Where do you get ice cubes in the bush? Another smart ass is text through here. Petrol in a gas lighter. That's a goodie. Yep. That works as well.

10:23Keyzie:No, that would destroy the -

10:24Mike Minogue:That's instant. Yeah. Well, it's instant, yeah, but - But instead of it, like where I grew up and live in, I don't know if it was the same for you, Jason, instead of, what did he use there? Petrol and a gas lighter. Instead of petrol, we'd use urine.

10:39Just spark that bastard up there. Does it spark up? Oh, yeah, it burns like a bastard. Yeah, especially my old man's. Yeah, jeez.

10:51Mike Minogue:This is a good tip. You just talk about pink bats, Jase. Instead of insulating your entire apartment, pull out your duvet cover out of your duvet and then stuff it with pink bats instead. And do the same with your pillow. Yeah, but I don't go to bed until quite late.

11:05Keyzie:So, you know, it's no use to me then. Fine when I go to bed. And anyway, I don't want it to be too hot in my bed. It already is pretty spicy.

11:16Mike Minogue:This is an interesting one. It's a hot drink. This is a hot drink someone's text through here, which is quite an interesting one. I can't tell if it would taste nice or not. The number one way to stay warm is teabag into a hot milo. And then add two tablespoons of hot curry. Yeah, that'll warm you up. So it's a teabag into hot Milo. Yeah. And two tablespoons of hot curry, like maybe a curry paste. Well, you know what we used to use instead of your curry paste there? What was that? Just boiling water. Oh, okay, not urine? And piss. Oh. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

12:02Mike Minogue:Beer and Pie July on Radio Hovacky.

12:07Keyzie:Sure bloody is. Hey, and this is very exciting news if you're a listener out there. We're doing it two times today. Two times, fellas.

12:15Mike Minogue:Yeah, Dad's Pies gave us 20 grand to give away over the course of the month of July for Beer and Pie July. However, we're almost at the end of the month, fellas, and we've still got too much left in the coffers. How can that be? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it was planned. Maybe it was an accident. We don't know. All I know is that we've got$250 cash to give away now and then again later on in the show.

12:34Keyzie:How bloody good. Let's go to the phone lines. G'day, Samantha. How's life?

12:39Mike Minogue:Oh, good. Thank you.

12:40Keyzie:That's good. What do you do for a crust, Samantha?

12:44Mike Minogue:I am an account manager for Wendy Wu Tours.

12:47Keyzie:Oh, yeah.

12:47Mike Minogue:Backbone. Wendy Wu Tours. Send people to China and Japan. Oh, how good. Oh, Jace has been to Vietnam, so if there's anything you need to know about it. You could ask him. He could be like a consultant.

13:00Keyzie:Yeah, totally. My daughter's actually about to bugger off to China. How good.

13:05Mike Minogue:Yeah, China's amazing. It is. Actually, Samantha, I'm desperate to go to China, to be honest. What's the number one destination over there? Where are you sending people most? Probably the usual. So you're Beijing, you're Shanghai, but then over to Zhang Zhajie, which was inspired by the movie Avatar. Yeah, it looks amazing. It's a national park.

13:25Keyzie:Tell me, Samantha, when you're having a bit of a break, a bit of a smoke-o there from your travels, what sort of pie do you like to run with?

13:35Mike Minogue:I'm one of those terrible vegetarians, so it has to be sort of a vegetable pie.

13:40Keyzie:Okay. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that, man. Nothing wrong with that.

13:44Mike Minogue:Samantha, but you send people to China for a living and they pretty much eat every single part of the animal. Oh, they do. I mean, when I was left there, I saw duck beaks, duck tongs, just whatever you can imagine, they will eat. Delicious. Tripe. Delicious.

14:01Keyzie:Hey, well, great news for you, Samantha. You've just won yourself$250, all right?

14:05Mike Minogue:Oh, that's amazing. No worries. No worries, mate. You hold the line and Pugsam will hand deliver it to you, all right? Okay, brilliant. You guys are amazing. Thank you. Just like that, eh? Too fitty. I'd quite like to go to China. They've got a lot of cool stuff over there. Seriously? Honestly, I've gone down a real rabbit hole lately of watching YouTube videos of people over there. The places you can see, because it's a place that you never think about going on holiday. No, it's true. You're right. But then you see, and they've got the biggest of everything over, the biggest dam in the world, the highest bridge in the world, all this crazy stuff.

14:35I've got a real obsession with pyramids, and I just think, why not go over there and just see them, you know? Yeah, yeah, they'd be beautiful. No, unreal.

14:43Keyzie:The pyramids. Funnily enough, actually, in terms of YouTube keys, and it's about China, but it's people and they're like a 45-year-old dude, this is my life in China. Oh, yeah. And you just follow them around for the day, and it's actually quite fascinating. To get up to Jack. No, he works his ass off. Oh, yeah. Pretty poor, and they just get by. They're backbones, actually. Let's get on with it. China? Yeah, in China. Let's get on with it. Yeah, right. But the pyramids would be amazing. Oh, that's the best part of China. The pyramid's in China. Oh, yeah.

15:16Mike Minogue:I thought they were in Egypt.

15:17Keyzie:Huh?

15:19Mike Minogue:Hey, don't forget Dad's Pies proudly bakes award-winning pies for pie-loving New Zealanders.

15:24Keyzie:Oh, yeah. But a new order for you this Wednesday afternoon.

15:29Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

15:35Keyzie:Arctic Monkeys there on the Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time is 4.48. Let's talk TV. What's on the telly with Mike Minogue?

15:50Yeah. That's right. Yeah. Over the weekend, fellas, there and there, watched the second of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

16:02Mike Minogue:Yeah. It's a chamber of secrets, right? I knew old nerd Keezy couldn't help himself on that one. You're right, Keezy. Five buzzies for you for getting that right. It is the, whatever you said, the Chamber of Secrets. That's the one. It's the second in the series. My wife's been reading the books to my daughter, and once they read one book, then they watch the movie. So we did that. She's seven, sat down and watched it. I'm Harry Potter. That's what that whole movie is. Lots of that. What? Harry Potter is a wizard. And what's quite different about... This is the shittest review I've ever... What's quite...

16:43What's quite interesting about Harry Potter is he is not a loser wizard who goes to Hogwarts school. Would you think he would and then he would find out that he was great? He comes in and everyone says he's the greatest. He's the chosen one. He's the chosen one, which is a lot of pressure for a young wizard, Jase. I mean, you've been through this sort of thing before, Jase. It ain't easy. No. And he's constantly having to prove himself. And what they find out is there's bad stuff going on. Can I put it that way? I don't remember a lot of the finer details but what I can tell you is the children do everything and the teachers do jack shit which is really odd because you've got all of these really seasoned wizards and witches and all of these other sorts of things and they identify that there is a problem then they do absolutely nothing for the entire movie while the children who have been there for five minutes have to sort absolutely everything out risking life and limb five buzzies out of a possible five buzzies absolutely brilliant Loved it, great for kids, great world building, actors are magnificent, the effects are good, just magnificent.

17:48Mike Minogue:Is Mogi Minogi, your daughter, enjoying it? Absolutely loves it. Great. Of course. And it's just great family watching. Now, is the author an absolute scumbag? 100%. I'm just choosing to separate the two to watch these movies with my daughter.

18:03Keyzie:Great stuff, Mogi. That was on Apple TV. I think I paid for it. And my wife and I were at a bit of a loss last night as to what to watch. And I said, you know what, darling? I just want to just relax, have a show that I know is great, that I'm really going to enjoy, and let's just watch a whole, you know, the whole sort of just running in a train-like formation. Your binge watch. Talk back. Yeah, binge watch. Game of two halves. It's not going on at the moment. Yeah, I know, but you can actually watch replays of it. Yeah, Jase, why are we wasting our time here?

18:38Mike Minogue:No.

18:39Keyzie:So we watched all of them back to back to back, and it was really interesting because I will say this. It hasn't aged well.

18:47Mike Minogue:But are you talking about this season, the one that I'm on? The one that came out and finished two weeks ago. Yeah. It hasn't aged well. What do you mean by that?

18:59Mike Minogue:But look. How many buzzies out of five?

19:06Mike Minogue:You could have just said you didn't watch anything. You didn't have to come in here and make up this thing about the show that I happen to be a part of.

19:15Keyzie:Look, I'll give it a second time around three and a half pussies out of five.

19:22Mike Minogue:That's a recommend. I'll take it. I'll watch Grand Designs, but I don't give a shit. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

19:35Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope you're getting through your hump day tickety-boo. You're listening to The Big Show, by the way, brought to you by Reburger.

19:43Mike Minogue:Handcrafted burgers, loaded fries and gourmet eats that will change the game. Ah, that's really quite yummy.

19:50Keyzie:Had burgers last night, actually, not Reburgers. Oh, yeah. Chicken burgers. Oh, yeah, how was the chicken burgers? They were very good, thank you. I mean, they're nothing on Reburger. Because they're professionals. What did you put in your chicken burger? Chicken? Yeah, good. Lettuce. That sounds good, man. Cheese. Onion.

20:09Mike Minogue:You did put cheese on?

20:10Keyzie:Avocado. Well, my wife did, and I didn't get to say either way. She made the call for me. I'm never particularly sure about the avocado with the chicken there. Yeah, to be honest with you, Moggy, neither am I, to be honest. It's become sort of stock standard, but I think it's not it. It's a bit mushy. Thank you. Mushy. That was the word I was looking for.

20:29Mike Minogue:What, avocado? Yeah, it can be.

20:30Keyzie:I mean, I love today, for example. Yeah. I had crackers with avocado and salmon on it. That was very nice. Yeah. You give me, for example, a guacamole. Yeah. That's largely avocado kisi. That's mashed up there. I'm as happy as a sand boy if I get a little bit of that. Yes. Some corn chips there.

20:51Mike Minogue:Didn't they used to call you guacamole? Who? I don't know. Like your friends and that? Oh, yeah. Oh, they do? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, guacamole. Yeah. On account of the fact that I like my guacamole. Oh, wow, yeah. Wow, I just made that up, but I can't believe it's true. That's great. It's good stuff. But not in my chicken burger. If I get it in my chicken burger, I fire up.

21:14Keyzie:And fair enough, too. Now, listen, we are chatting. We are having a little chit-chat refood. Speaking of which, coming up next, come dine with me. Mogi's first up this Sunday, and we're all frothing, aren't we, fellas? Can't wait. In the meantime, here's She-Hard.

21:30Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

21:37Keyzie:Radiohead there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday afternoon. The time is 12 minutes past five o 'clock. We've got our first come dine with me this Sunday. Come dine with the feelers. We also have in the studio with us. Ooh, it's Ponson.

22:03Mike Minogue:G'day fellas. Hey Pugs.

22:04Keyzie:Thanks for having me. How are you? Yeah good thanks man. There he is. Hi. Now in case you're behind on what's going on and where we're at with it, Mogi was the first drawn out of the hat by Hoity J, so we're going to be having it at his place on Sunday. That's right. Fellas, I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing, but also on the other side of that I'll be glad to have it all done and then I can just judge the hell out of you bastards.

22:26Mike Minogue:100%. That is sort of the silver lining there. It is. And we are all going to host everyone. We all will have our partners. We have to issue a three-course meal and a menu, provide entertainment, et cetera, and that will be happening over the next few months. Yes. I actually had a question just on it, fellas, if you don't mind, just while I'm here. It's probably a good time to hash it out. Now, I know we had originally said 2 p.m. on Sunday at your place. Oh, yep. Because what I did was I sent out a message to everyone weeks ago. Everybody agreed that that time suited. So I've locked that in. Obviously booked all the entertainment and everything like that.

23:02All squared away. All tickety-boo. Happy days to get locked in. So even a little bit early is fine, Pugs. But just don't be late. Don't be late. I hate that. Oh, same. Same. I'll be early.

23:13Keyzie:Ready gets deep inside my goat when people are late. You know, the thing about it is when people are late, what they don't sort of realise is it can ruin it for everyone. Yes. 100%. Immediately. Immediately ruins it. Anyway, what were you saying?

23:23Mike Minogue:Well, my wife and I, just quickly, she's doing an errand and we're actually going to be in the neighbourhood at about 1. Oh, yeah. Is that okay? No, come on over. I was just wondering if we could push it to like 2.30. Wow. Oh, God. So I'm hosting a little market stall this Sunday and that ends at about 1. And so I had in my head that it was happening at 2. And weirdly, I don't know. Are you selling the... 2.30. Sorry. My calendar thing that I put in ages ago when we figured out that we were going to do it. It says 2.30, does it? It says 2.30. So you're at a market till 1. So for people out there who don't know, Pugsun started doing it.

24:01Is it a monthly store? No, it's every week. It's a one-off. It's one-off. Yeah, this is my one chance to do it. So he's got it into crocheting and he's selling his pita heaters because it's the middle of winter. Yeah. It's a little crochet. Great guns too. It takes me ages.

24:17Keyzie:Can I just say on that front before you answer, Pugsun, there, one word pops into my head, priorities. Yeah. Priorities Cool Thank you But anyway Carry on Bugs

24:30Mike Minogue:Why can't you pack up your stall It finishes at one You pack up your stall You throw it in your car And then you head to Mogies Mate

24:36Keyzie:In all seriousness No you go Josh I have friends that do that market every week You don't have friends Every week They pack up And they've got an extensive stall They're packed up and out of there by quarter past one What do they sell?

24:49Mike Minogue:Yeah they sound like amateurs man What do they sell? All sorts Really warmers Not Peter Heaters, that's for sure. No, look, it's really important to me that I look my best when I turn up to your place, man, and that takes a little bit of effort. Now, if I've been working at the market, I just want to make sure that me and my partner get home, get ready to go and make sure that we're on good form and dress to the nines to make sure that we meet the standards of what I'm sure is going to be a great little afternoon at O 'Brien. Well, I haven't set the theme yet because obviously there'll be a theme for the occasion.

25:22and I guess now's as good a time as any. No berets.

25:25Mike Minogue:Yeah, pugs. No berets, pugs. Yeah. What? Me. I did chuck that one in the bin, so you're all good. But it has, you know, I don't want the theme. Unless the theme is unshowered, then I'd quite like to get home. Well, you're not going to shower before the market.

25:42Keyzie:That's disgusting. After the market, Jase. Yeah, right. Have you ever shower before? Yeah. That's fine. I just want to make sure. it needs to be clear to everybody else that's attending the lunch that the reason why it is so late is because of you, Pugson. Sure. And because I'm making the special exception, whatever score you were going to give, you add three points. No, that's not how it works. I don't know about that.

26:04Mike Minogue:So are we locking in? It is 2.30. That's okay. I'm happy with 2.30. That's fine. I appreciate your flexibility on this. And another question. You've said, Moggy, that it's 2 to 4 sharp. Now it's 2.30 to 4. So we've just shortened up the times. Hang on, you don't push the... Everybody out the door at four.

26:20Keyzie:That's all G by me, by the way.

26:25Keyzie:My wife's come up with a theme. Oh, is she? Yeah. I think you guys are going to really like it.

26:31Mike Minogue:Is this for your one?

26:32Keyzie:Yeah.

26:32Mike Minogue:Yeah. Can't wait.

26:35Keyzie:Well, you probably can once you hear what it is.

26:39Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

26:44Keyzie:Antigmonkey's there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show. this Wednesday evening. The time is 5.49.

And I've already been shown the sort of, it was amazing, Dilly showed me the live countdown. Oh, right. He's like, early in the countdown, you can look at it. But obviously, as we get closer, you don't want to see. But you can see all the crazy. And this early in the competition as well, there's some really random songs that are in the top, like even 20.

27:26Mike Minogue:Like Chili's and that. Like Engelbert, Humperdinck. Oh, I wish. I'm going to be running a campaign for that, by the way. But I think there was an Ice House song in the top 15 currently. And just things like that. So GOAT to 3483. Follow the link to vote. You can also head to hodaki.co.nz if you want, and that'll be getting underway August 17th.

27:43Keyzie:Oh, there you go. Fellas, I just want to take the opportunity now. We did something on Breakfast Radio, which I very much enjoyed and want to keep as a part of the afternoon show, and that's the old mental health check-in. Oh, yeah. No, we're not doing it.

27:58Mike Minogue:We're not doing it because all it ever was was you guys asking me if I'm all G and then winding me up. Wow.

28:06Keyzie:Okay. Straight away.

28:11Well, it's interesting, Keyes, that as soon as somebody asks you how you are, you fire up.

28:15Mike Minogue:Well, it's not. I worry, honestly.

28:20I had to check in with your wife. Is she all good? I think so. Because if you're flying off the handle like this around the house, effing and jeffing, you walk through the door, how was your day? Yeah.

28:31Mike Minogue:That's absolutely not what happened.

28:32Keyzie:And I didn't, I wasn't specifically, I meant for all the fellas, but you just. Oh, okay. Well, it's just sharing around there. You just fire. Whoa. Well, how about this?

28:44Mike Minogue:Jase, how are you going, man? You all good?

28:45Keyzie:Yeah, very well, thanks, Keezy. I appreciate you asking. I've noticed you seem very well in yourself lately, Jase. Glad to hear it, man. Yeah, thank you. How are you going, Mogi? Honestly, I mean, if I was any better, it would be illegal. Yeah. Never felt better in my life. I'm getting that vibe. That's great. Keezy, how are you doing, man?

29:03Mike Minogue:I'm also great, fellas.

29:04Keyzie:Oh, you notice that little hand gestures there. Stutter. You know what they call that? I don't stutter. They call that in the counselling world deflection. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. I said I'm great.

29:17Mike Minogue:I said the same as you.

29:18Keyzie:Yeah, but you were doing the hand gestures where you were pushing us away. You're stopping the runaway train. Yeah. What runaway train? Coming at you, which is life. Pressures, anxiety. No. You know, people thinking you're a goose.

29:34Mike Minogue:Hang on. Who thinks I'm a goose?

29:43So you're paranoid as well

29:47Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show Weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki

29:51Keyzie:Yes indeed the undertones there On the Hauraki Big Show This Wednesday evening The time is 5.54

29:58Mike Minogue:Fellas just want to Just on the back of that mental health check we just did I just want you guys to know that Seriously right now I am very very happy There's nothing going on There's no deflection I just want you to know and I appreciate you guys checking in. I feel bad about the way I've been reacting. I understand you just want what's best for me.

30:18Keyzie:Yeah, yes. Well, thank you for that, Kesey. It was a massive overreaction. But what you're doing now in the parlance of, you know, mental health is overcompensating.

30:32Mike Minogue:Why, by saying I get it?

30:33Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like you feel like, and rightly so, you overcooked it in that last break, and you fired up a little bit. Panicking, internally panicking. Now you're second-guessing yourself and feeling like I need to apologise to the feels.

30:53Mike Minogue:Yeah, right, okay. Look, I disagree personally. I disagree with what you're saying. I'm not panicking. I'll just say it's not your fault. Yeah, it's not your fault. What do you mean? It's not your fault. but it is something that you are going to have to deal with and you're going to have to deal with it all alone.

31:21Mike Minogue:Who was it that said I was a goose, by the way, just out of curiosity? Who hasn't said you're a goose? What? The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

31:35Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. hope your Wednesday night's going along very nicely indeed. You're listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburger.

31:43Mike Minogue:Beef, chicken, vegan, vegetarian options too. Reburger, redefining the norm. Mmm, yummy.

31:51Keyzie:What's on the dinner plate tonight, fellas? It's a good question, mate. I had a little bit of a Mexican lunch today, so there's a few leftovers there, over-ordered. I think that'll probably do me for this evening. Yeah, I like that.

32:04Mike Minogue:Keezy? We're having a vegetarian dinner tonight. My wife is making a pumpkin-based curry, Indian-style curry, and she's got some delicious fresh naan to dip in it as well. What makes it an Indian-style? The herbs and spices, perhaps? I guess so. I'm not sure. Oh, right. Pumpkin. Pumpkin, did you say? Because pumpkins, quite famously, Jase, they don't grow in India. That sounds yummy. Like anywhere. That sounds yum, Keezy. I'm sure you could grow a pumpkin in India if you...

32:37Keyzie:I'm just telling you.

32:39Mike Minogue:Right.

32:40Keyzie:Well, there's controversy in the Hori J household. Yeah. Because normally Wednesday night's hot pot night.

32:46Mike Minogue:I love how you've made it hot pot night. Like it has to be every week.

32:50Keyzie:And my wife said to me, hot pot tonight? And I went, no. Oh, it's gone off it. Oh, wow. No. You're gone off it. We've done it. Yeah.

32:56Mike Minogue:So you are. This is interesting because you go through phases and now you're sick of it. I do.

33:00Keyzie:I went, no, the last one was still delicious. but I just went, okay, I need to give this a rest now.

33:06Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but you must be sick of it now.

33:10Keyzie:No, not sick of it, but I just feel like I could get sick of it. So what we're running with is a Thai squash curry. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know the squash? Like a pumpkin. Yeah, it's like a pumpkin. It's like a pumpkin, but a bit more high class. They grow like the squash. What is it, the squash? Yes. Yeah, they grow like weeds in Thailand. Like weeds are on the side of the road. They're everywhere.

33:32Mike Minogue:How do you know so much about where pumpkins and squash and stuff grow? I love root vegetables. I grew up in the Horofenua, Keezy, which is an incredible basin. It's great for growing vegetables. Right. So there's a huge amount of education around what grows where and why and how and that sort of thing, not just locally but internationally as well. Right, okay. You've got extensive knowledge, particularly around your root vegetables. The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

34:00Keyzie:Jet there on the Hodaki Big Show this Wednesday evening. And, fellas, I have concerns. I, um, over the last couple of weekends, I found myself at, um, on consecutive weekends, in fact.

34:23Mike Minogue:Oh, God, what is this?

34:25Keyzie:At plant nurseries. Oh.

34:28Mike Minogue:Oh.

34:30Keyzie:Well, no, carry on. I said I was concerned about it, Keezy.

34:33Mike Minogue:Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say something way worse than that.

34:35Keyzie:And I was there the second time around, and I was looking around at the clientele in the plant nurseries. Having a gaze, were you? I was having a bit of a perv.

34:45Mike Minogue:Perving through the bushes there?

34:47Keyzie:Oh, peekaboo. Oh, peekaboo, hoi. There was some hedging there that I was paring through, Keezy. Yes, there was. Oh, peeping jizz. Oh, God. I mean No, keep going No, no, no, it's good It's good, I mean What was it? Peep and jizz It just goes with everything really, doesn't it? It just does Yeah, it's clever And I was looking around, you know Having a bit of a, yeah, a bit of a peep And I noticed that the clientele was basically Your 60, your 70, your 80 year old folk Yeah And I thought to myself My God, have I become an old person Well, how old are you? That I'm going to nurseries. Now, don't get me wrong.

35:32Keyzie:Back in the day when I was a young fella, I was prone to going to nurseries to buy certain things, to grow certain things. But that was a different kind of vibe. You know what I mean? Yes. But now, you know, I'm talking to my wife and I'm going, does this pot work with this plant?

35:51Mike Minogue:Really? Two weekends in a row?

35:53Keyzie:Two weekends in a row. So, is it a sign that old pee-pee jizz? Peeping jizz. Oh, peeping jizz. Peeping jizz. It's just gross. Peep-ee-pee jizz. Yeah. Is getting old.

36:07Mike Minogue:I don't know. I think so. What do you think, Mogi? How much time do you see? I mean, that's real God's waiting room sort of stuff, isn't it?

36:14Keyzie:Well, it was also because there was a cafe there as well. Oh, there is.

36:18Mike Minogue:I was going to say.

36:19Keyzie:And then my wife said to me, oh, you know, maybe we can get a coffee and a scone. And I was like, well, I don't want to ruin my lunch. But you were saying that you didn't really want to go and look at the plant, so you spent the whole time your wife was out there looking, you were in the playground that's next to the cafe.

36:35Mike Minogue:While I was playing. Yeah, on the slides and that.

36:37Keyzie:Well, they had those plastic balls that you can jump into. So good, man, because they... Oh, the ball pit. Yeah, the ball pit. Oh, ball pit. Then I got stuck in one of the tunnel, you know, the little slide thing.

36:51Mike Minogue:Yeah, right.

36:52Keyzie:Yeah. That was a bit weird.

36:54Mike Minogue:What I was going to say is that you're old once you start going to the cafes at those places. Right, okay. That's when you're old. Oh, is that when you're old?

37:02Keyzie:Well, that's what I said, because as I said, Keezy, I don't want it ruining my lunch. Right. You know, I don't want to be having a scone at 10.

37:10Mike Minogue:Plus, you don't want to catch a stretch while you're in the ball pit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

37:13Keyzie:And actually, here's the thing, fellas. Why pay for a coffee when I can make one at home?

37:18Mike Minogue:100%. Hey, good stuff, fellas. Some of your best work, PPJs. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

37:32Keyzie:The Verve there on the Hauraki Big Show this Wednesday evening.

37:37Mike Minogue:Hey, fellas, don't forget this week, at the very end of the week, Friday, we'll be giving away$1 ,000 worth of hire a hubby gift vouchers for everyone that texts in hubby to 3483 and gives us details of the job they need done around their house. It's$1 ,000 worth of labour from Hire a Hubby. That could fix a lot of problems. Yeah, it could, man. And I'm just going through the texts here on 3483. Hubby, g'day, guys. Our stormwater system could do with a couple of backbones to fix it up. You know, in the dead of winter there. Yeah, a bit of flooding action maybe. If you had to nominate one of us three to fix that, who would you choose?

38:11Keyzie:Yeah. Well, probably you, Kesey, because you've done a lot of drainage around your little unit. That's right. You've had to do a lot of drainage around your joint.

38:19Mike Minogue:Okay. once again I just need to reiterate I just cleared some leaves out of the way of an overland flow path okay I haven't dug any drainage well actually on that note I might text in as well because we've got this bloody sinkhole out the front of my joint yes it's like a council property right and well this is the trouble though isn't it Kesey because that sinkhole has been there for three years the council's done jack about it it's getting worse and worse we need to get higher up beyond the job now me and some of the locals they're taking the well I don't know if you'd say the law into your own hands.

38:49We're backbone in it by trying to fix it ourselves. DIY, et cetera, et cetera. And we've put a call out to sort of fill it up with sort of anything that we can find around the place. We've got a bit of asbestos sheets in there. I've put my Toyota Aqua in there as well. We've got grass clippings, a bit of recycling, all sorts of odds and ends. And a bit of stuff's come through on 3483. Kitty litter. Kitty litter, thank you.

39:14Mike Minogue:A few steamers. So you've done poos in the sinkhole? No, I haven't. The cat did poos. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Have you got some texts coming through, have you? We've had a bunch that have come in there, Keezy. Well, weirdly, there's lots of things like, how about my wife?

39:32Keyzie:Wow, man. How about my husband? How about my three ex-boyfriends? We'll probably get away from going with people. Yes. Another suggestion here, an old dilly. Oh, yeah. That's good as gold. I mean, it all counts, doesn't it? Yeah, absolutely it does. Got a couple of bags of filthy nappies to chuck in the sinkhole. I was thinking nappies, actually. Yeah, good call. Well, nappies are good because they swell up. Yes. That's good.

40:01Mike Minogue:That's better than fixing it properly.

40:03Keyzie:They get very bloated. They do. And so I can see a filthy nappy moulding around your aqua, for example, and the kitty lid. It just all moulds together. Absolutely right. G'day, fellas. I've got a mammoth stack of unpaid parking infringements and speeding fines to throw in that sinkhole.

40:21Mike Minogue:Yeah, right. I still feel like the actual government fixing it properly would probably be a better idea. I don't know. I think between Haira Hubby and these backbones and me and some of the locals, I think we've probably got it covered. And then at the end of that, all you need to do is have the council come in and just chuck a bit of asphalt over the bus. Yeah, perfect. Just on Haira Hubby, though, Plenty of text coming in on 3483. You should do the same. Hubby to 3483, followed by details of what you need fixed. At the end of this week, we will be calling one lucky person back and giving them$1 ,000 worth of Hire a Hubby stuff.

40:55Keyzie:Bloody good stuff, Keezy.

40:57Mike Minogue:Don't forget, Hire a Hubby, the everything experts, because your home deserves better than a botched DIY makeover. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

41:09Keyzie:Temple of the dog there on the Hodaki Big Show this Wednesday night. Fellas, let's give out some advice.

41:19Mike Minogue:Meet PattyNips69 at gmail.com. Get in touch with the fellas. Real email address, meetpattynips69 at gmail.com. Meetpattynips69 at gmail.com. Starting to run low on advice questions there, fellas. So if people want Reburger vouchers and prizes, make sure you get in touch with a good advice question.

41:42Keyzie:Which is really surprising when you think about it, Kesey. A lot of people struggling out there. You know what I mean? I mean, we're here to help, man.

41:48Mike Minogue:New Zealanders are just too proud to ask. Yeah, well, that's right. 100 % anonymous too. G'day, fellas. After some advice, because I'm coming up to a bit of a conundrum. My partner and I are heading to Vietnam in October for five weeks. Wow. Really looking forward to it, but we've just realised there's an issue with us gone for so long that we hadn't thought much about. What are we going to do with our cat?

42:09Keyzie:Yeah.

42:10Mike Minogue:I have no qualms about ditching him in the cheapest cattery I can find or maybe giving him to the RSPCA as a lost cat. My partner isn't a fan of these options, though. She's worried the cat will think we've abandoned him. I'm of the opinion cats just don't think about us when we're away. Instead, she wants to have her mum stay and look after the cat and the house, whereas I don't want her mum going through any of my stuff. I know she won't contribute to the massive power bill. she'll undoubtedly rack up. She's also recently single, and I don't want to think about what she might get up to in our bed.

42:39Mike Minogue:Any advice, fellas?

42:41Keyzie:Well, it's an interesting one, isn't it? Because after my dog died, I was like, we're done. We're done with pets for this very reason. For this very reason. Because it's admin, admin, admin. Then my daughter finally goes, oh, we're going to eat a little cat by itself. And I was like, oh, fine, you can have a cat.

43:02Mike Minogue:Does she still have that speech impediment? Yes.

43:05Keyzie:And so now we've got a cat. We're with a similar thing. We're going away for a couple of weeks. It's like, who's going to look after the bloody cat? Yep.

43:14Mike Minogue:So what do you do? Well, that's right. Well, what you do do, and I haven't mentioned this as yet, but we're going away in a couple of weeks, only for about, well, actually close to a week. So we'll be pushing the panic button and getting pugs and his missus in there. I haven't asked him about this yet, but I just assume it's a yes. and so I recommend the same for this guy here. Just get Pugs. Just get Pugs over.

43:35Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, that's a good call.

43:37Mike Minogue:Right, so. Just ask Pugs.

43:39Keyzie:Yeah. Get on the Insta and ask Pugs.

43:42Mike Minogue:Pugs, just quick, Pugs, are you happy to house sit and cat sit for people, just willy-nilly? Yeah, just willy-nilly, fellas.

43:49Keyzie:Yeah. He loves it. Can I just say, he's actually house sitting for my father and all for about a month, I think, so you've just got to get the dates right with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, not necessarily. So you've got a week with him. Then he's got the month of my father-in-law. Then my two weeks. And then this five weeks for Vietnam.

44:06Mike Minogue:But also there's two of them. Him and his partner. So they could just be in different places. Oh, yeah. Good point.

44:11Keyzie:Good point.

44:12Mike Minogue:That's fine, eh, Pugs? Yeah, thanks, Pugs. Me being what? My partner being somewhere else. So you stay. And this guy, he lives in Wellington. So you'll move down to Wellington for a bit while your partner is at the father-in-law's there. Is that all good? Sounds like a vacation to me, Phil. Yeah, good on you, mate. So there you go. You see? Yeah. Problem solved. Either that or back paddock. Back paddock. Yeah. Back back. Hey, meetpaddynab69gmail.com. Get in touch. The Hauraki Big Show with Jase, Mike and Kesey. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

44:47Keyzie:Well, there you go, you mad bastards. That's the big show done and dusted for you Wednesday evening in the podcast outro today. Bonus material we do before we start the radio show proper. I'll say one word, filth. We had to put a disclaimer on this one. It was filth.

45:04Mike Minogue:Are we doing more disclaimers nowadays, or is that just me? No, it feels like we are.

45:08Keyzie:Yeah, yeah, yeah.

45:08Mike Minogue:You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Yes. I forgot what I didn't do there is tell you what I was thinking before I said, do you know what I mean? It made no sense. And this is because, fellas, I'm still actually sick. I've had the last of my antibiotics today, but I continue to hit the wall at around about quarter past five, and this last hour 45 is a real struggle for me, so I appreciate you sticking with me. We've been talking about renaming this podcast. Why don't we rename it The Disclaimer? Yeah, don't mind it. The Disclaimer. The Disclaimer. And that way, every single time, it's up to the audience.

45:44We're covered. That's right. No, I don't mind that, actually.

45:47Mike Minogue:But then we're essentially saying that never, ever listen to this podcast with children, ever. I think that's a strong idea and good advice all around. I really do. Yes. There's no need for a kid to listen to what we talk about. Well, why don't we, okay, so here's the deal. We'll play a clip of today's one, and then we'll have a think. Does a kid need to listen to this? There's certain levels of things. Some stuff is writing for a national TV show, Commonwealth Games. Coverage. You know, sort of thing. Then you've got Horty J. And not everything can be as good as that. But that's the thing, because he does that every morning.

46:23Mike Minogue:I'm chasing that high for the rest of the day.

46:25Keyzie:I was actually thinking about that, Kesey. Can we just make it Monday, Wednesday, Friday?

46:34Mike Minogue:What the f*** am I going to do? Tuesday, Thursday, hit hugs up. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, but with it beeped, though, it's kind of...

46:42Keyzie:You need to listen to the podcast to find out what we were chatting about. It's disgusting. Mogi, your plans for the evening? In all honesty, man, I'm buggered. I'm going to go home. I'm going to say goodnight to my wife. Well, certainly to my daughter, I'm going to have a bath. Oh, yeah. I'm going to read a book. I've got a book going on at the moment. And then I'm going to go to sleep bloody early, man. I'm cooked. Yeah, nice. Nice. Keezy. Hello. Vegetarian pumpkin curry. And then what?

47:08Mike Minogue:And then I'll probably watch Outrageous Fortune with my wife. Oh, you're loving it, man. Yeah. And then I would like to start playing PlayStation, but I can't because I've got to get up early and go to work. You've got work tomorrow, man. Oh, that sucks, man. Oh, Keezy's struggling, man.

47:19Keyzie:Have I had any more appearances on it yet? No, just the one. Okay, just in the first episode.

47:25Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah. So I think we're up to episode four, but it's just, yeah, we'll watch one tonight, definitely.

47:29Keyzie:Good on you, mate.

47:30Mike Minogue:What are you doing, Jase?

47:31Keyzie:Well, my wife and I are going to do that painful thing where we go, let's go and just find somewhere to eat and then wander around the city for about half an hour going, nah, nah, nah. And then we stop in one place and go, and it's terrible. It's like really slow Netflix for food. Yes. Just really hard. Why don't you just go get a hot pot? Yeah. Oh, maybe. Maybe, actually. Just get it done. Yeah. Hey, listen, make sure you check out the podcast. Make sure you check out the Instagram. There's heaps going on there. Till tomorrow, show. Goodbye.

48:02Mike Minogue:Bye.
