FULL SHOW: Whitebait Smoothies

10:46It's got a fair amount of cut through.

10:48Mike Minogue:She sent in a second text here. She was watching Talkback.

10:52Keyzie:Yeah. Yeah, good stuff.

10:54Mike Minogue:No, she didn't text it.

10:55Keyzie:I've had people complain. I haven't had noise control, but people complain about the noise coming from my house, the lovemaking. Was it like super loud yawning?

11:09Mike Minogue:Your wife was away that day, didn't she?

11:12Keyzie:Let's go to the phone lines. G'day, Carl, you mad bastard. How's life? Good, thanks. How about you? Yeah, good, thanks. Mate, you've got a bit of a tale for us, do you? Yeah, we live out in the country. We're sort of surrounded by a few lifestylers. And we had a bit of a barbecue one night. and I don't know, about 11 or 12 o 'clock at night, the old noise control turned up and I thought, Jesus, what are they expecting them out here? But anyway, the stereo was a bit loud, calm night, everyone could hear it. So we turned it down, they disappeared, come back an hour later because someone turned it back up, as you do.

11:50Keyzie:Yeah, yeah. And then, so they took it away with them. And then, so the next morning I thought, oh, well buggy is we organised a bit, a few clay birds and a few guns and we got up to the playbirds at 6 o 'clock in the morning and did it till lunchtime. Yeah, backbone. Good shit, Carl. As soon as I heard your voice, Carl, I was thinking to myself, I don't know what the story is, but I bet it's Carl's fault.

12:12Mike Minogue:100%. Carl, you got yourself 50 bucks re-burger, mate. Well done. All right, cheers, guys.

12:18Keyzie:Good on you, mate. Buggers. Buggers, yeah. Buggers, what did he say? Buggiers. Buggiers. Buggiers. Buggiers. Yeah, Buggiers. You've never heard that same thing? Yeah, no, I have. I love it.

12:28Mike Minogue:A lot of people texting through on 3483. One dude was leaving a party here. His name is Mike. On his way out, noise control showed up. He told, they asked, you know, is there a party going on? He's like, yeah, but I'm leaving. It's winding down now anyway. And so they're like, oh, I'll just drop off the notices. I'll give you a lift to town. So they dropped off the notices, told them to shut the party down, and then he got a lift into town with them. Yeah, nice. Which is quite nice.

12:49Keyzie:I mean, to be fair, guys, is there a worse job in the world? I mean, there's some shocking jobs, but it's a shocking job. We should run a poll on that at some point because that and parking wardens, I would say, would be top two. Yeah. In terms of being hated, yeah, it would be parking wardens for me, I think. Yeah.

13:07Mike Minogue:To be honest, anyone that stops me, and most of the time it's for charity, so it sounds terrible, anyone that stops me on the way into a store, straight away fuming.

13:14Keyzie:But it's that thing of, you know. Crazy. I hate it. Yeah, yeah, anybody that asks for something, anybody in need. But the problem with the noise control is that you're trying to stem something that's in full flow with really pissed people, generally speaking. And that's a nightmare.

13:33Mike Minogue:It is. Yeah. Yeah, that and charity people.

13:36Keyzie:Yeah, charity bastards.

16:23Keyzie:I mean, nothing against kombucha, but it always makes my tummy a bit funny, kombucha. Well, it's probably because it's healthy and your stomach wouldn't be used to anything like that. It's more, you know, sort of used to cheese balls. Hot pot. Hot pot. Exactly right. Yeah, yeah. We used to make a kombucha when I was living over on the island there on Waiheke. We used to make a lot of things, actually, but kombucha was one of them. But you had this thing in there. A scoby. Yeah, a scoby, which is also known as the mother.

16:52Mike Minogue:Or the bug, like when you have a bread that you're making. A sourdough, yeah. It's a disgusting. It's so gross. It's a foul bastard of a thing. And I preferred that we kept it in a sort of a container that wasn't transparent. I didn't want to see it. Yeah, we made that mistake. Hideous bastard. My wife had a crack at it once. Oh, that's right. And I was just looking at it, and I was like, I'm not drinking that. I'm not having it. Yeah. It was good. I don't want to know how the sausage is, mate. No, no, no. I'll just drink it slash eat the sausage. Yeah, good stuff. Hey, just quickly, fellas. Big shout out to boyschip.co.nz.

17:38Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

17:42Keyzie:Sunday, bloody Sunday. You two there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time is 4.56. Plenty coming up after 5 o 'clock. Old Moogie and I are pretty fizzed about this. The start of whitebaiting season, September to October, and we're fired up for it, I can tell you, fellas. Also, we've got a couple of tickets to give away for the band Empire of the Sun.

18:05Mike Minogue:Yeah, Empire of the Sun. Empire of the Sun. Empire of the Sun. Great band. more information on their live gigs that are coming to New Zealand. As we've said, we've got some double passes to give away. They came out just after MGMT. They're sort of a similar setup, aren't they? And funnily enough, because they're known to their fans, because it's Empire of the Sun, they're known to their fans as EOTs. Really? EOTs. That's because MGMT are known as management. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, this is interesting stuff. But for some reason, I just remember them having the weirdest video clips. Yeah. And being like, man, these guys are crazy.

18:37Mike Minogue:Yeah, that's right. But their tunes are so good. They've got some bangers. Their first album, I've got it. Have you? Have you? It goes off, man. Wow. Yeah, yeah.

18:44Keyzie:Funny you never use it for your trouble or anything like that, or you've never brought it up before. Been to any of their gigs or anything. Yeah. It's all there.

18:56Mike Minogue:Coming up after five. The Hauraki Beat Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

19:05Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope your Tuesday's going off. You're listening to The Big Show, by the way, brought to you by Reburger.

19:12Mike Minogue:Craveworthy street food freshly made with Reburger. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Now, I just want to say to the people out there,

19:20Keyzie:there might be someone, for example, sitting in their car right now going, oh, bugger, I missed the first hour of the show. Yeah. Do not fear. Do not fear, my friends, because I can tell you that old Pugsana's beavering away in Studio B, getting the whole show put together in a podcast form. So if you miss any of the show, you can catch it later on. Having said that, our preference is that you tune in live. Or on the podcast. Or you listen to the podcast.

19:50Mike Minogue:Or not at all. Oh, that's the other option. You could do that. That's third, but that's still a podium finish. Yeah, it'd be more of a bronze type scenario. Hundy P, fellas. Hey, huge hour coming up. White bait chat. I'm fizzing, man. It's that time of year again. And you've still got the Sting Pugs? I hope so. Yeah, he's still got it. He'll find it. He'll find it. There's no way to lose that. Nah, the white-bait chat Sting. God, that's an all-timer. Far out. Also, as we mentioned, tickets to Empire of the Sun, who are coming to New Zealand. Details on that later on. And, fellas, I've got a proposal for the big show and our social media plan moving forward.

20:23Keyzie:Yeah, okay, good. Backbone. I've also got a proposal later on, probably not this hour. It's more of a six o 'clock hour proposal. It's coming too early. For the big show as well. That'll keep people listening. Yeah, totes, man, it should.

20:36Mike Minogue:It's not going to be overlapping with what's on the dinner after six, is it? It could be, actually.

20:41Keyzie:Here's Cage the Elephant.

20:42Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki.

20:46Keyzie:Yes, indeed, Alison Chains here on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday afternoon. The time is 5.13. Don't know about you, Mogi. Love this time of year, my friend. I am fizzed up. What for? Whitebaiting season, baby. It's back. You'll know this, Kizzie, but whitebait season is part of what makes being a New Zealander great. Can I say that? You can say that. Starts on the 1st of September each year, finishes at the end of October there. Yeah, look, it's one of the great bonding periods that I used to have with my old man.

21:22Mike Minogue:Oh, you're right. Yeah. So I've got a lot of memories there. I think a lot of people do. Yeah. A lot of city folk, of course, won't have any experience of it at all. Yeah. Well, I suppose the thing with whitebait now, though, is that it's in decline, isn't it? It is in decline, Keeser, that's right.

21:36Keyzie:I mean, well, you know, we all love a bit of whitebait, don't we, fellas? And like Mogey, it was part of my childhood, part of my upbringing, when I was a little whippersnapper. That's another name. Of course, that's another name. It's a fish, yeah. Why not for fish? For whitebait. For whitebait. In England, they call them whippersnappers. Whippersnappers.

21:56Mike Minogue:Is that true?

21:57Keyzie:Yes. That's true, yeah. Yeah, toads. We call them whitebait. But, Kesey, you touched on a very important point, and that is the declining numbers. That's right. And it's a really big issue, one that concerns me deeply. Yeah, and the whitebait stocks have been under pressure for a while. They actually changed some of the rules in 2021 because there's always a concern about overfishing. Yes. People get too keen. They love their whitebait too much. And if you don't put the rules in place, Kesey, people get a bit carried away, and then you run out of fish before you know it. So DOC has actually come in this year, and they've introduced further conservation-minded fishing methods just to kind of restrict it because you sort of find people were catching them by the pounds and the tens of pounds and the dozens of pounds.

22:39It's a bit much and you find people sort of freezing them forever or giving it away. I mean, I remember when we used to start out, Jason, for us it was the thrill of the catch. Right, it was quite exciting. So you just catch, you know, like 50-pound of whitebait and then you just sort of, well, that's the fun part, and then you just leave them to sort of rot on the side of the river. The old birds pecking away there. That's right.

23:00Mike Minogue:So that was your favourite part. Right, okay. It was just catching them. It was the thrill of the catch. It was the thrill of it. But there's no thrill, right? The adrenaline of it all. Aren't they just babies? You know, are they just little baby fish? But when you get them moving in a group together, there's pounds of them, 50 pounds of the bastards all swimming this way and that. It's not easy. In a swift current. Right, okay, in a creek or something, yeah. So they've changed the rules now, though, because you just use any kind of a net. You could use a drift net, anything you wanted. You could use.

23:26A mate of mine used to use a school bag. Right. A school bag. Yes. When they were running hard. Now they've pulled it back a bit. So according to the DOC's new regulation, you allow gill nets. Gill nets. A gill net. A gill net. So traditionally that's something where the fish will swim in. Their head being the biggest part of the body gets stuck.

23:45Mike Minogue:Yeah. Then they try and back out and they get caught on the gills.

23:49Keyzie:Yeah, they can't back out. They can't go backwards fish, Kees. I don't know if you know that. Have you ever seen a fish go backwards? No, I haven't. No, that's why. Spearfishing Yeah Oh you can spearfish them Yeah you're allowed to spearfish them Rod and reel Yes Fly fishing There's another one that they're allowing as well Yeah And it just means they're going to be Bringing down the number You still get the thrill of the catch Yes But you can't bring in the kind of numbers You can also long line Yes One hook one fish

24:17Mike Minogue:Right okay Far out It'll be a lot of effort with all these methods To get even enough for like a fritter

24:23Keyzie:Actually what In terms of the numbers there because I'm a little bit hazy on that. What are the restrictions in terms of the catch? Oh, the most in a day? Yeah, in one. 12. Oh, yeah, a dozen. Yeah, that makes sense. No, 12. 12 white bait a day per person. That's a good day. Yeah, so if you've got a couple of, if it's you and your missus out there, that's 24, that's enough for a frit. Yeah. A small frit. A couple of extra eggs. Yeah, a couple of more eggs, beef it out with a bit more flour.

24:51Mike Minogue:Right, far out.

24:52Keyzie:Maybe some parsley.

24:53Mike Minogue:Right, you know, okay. Well, that's what, to be honest, this is what I don't understand, is what do people actually use whitebait for? Because the only place I've seen it is in fritters. You can do whitebait in a million different ways, yeah. Really? It's one of the beauty of the fish is there's a billion ways you can serve them up. Each more delicious than the other. Yes.

25:12Keyzie:That's of no real importance to me because we used to leave them rotting on the bank. Nowadays you eat the bank. But, yeah, I mean, if you've got any ideas for how to cook whitebait, because I tell you what, it's a very controversial. It is. Discussion point. There's all sorts of different techniques. Text us 3483 and let us know how you do it. You go in the drawer to win yourself a$50 rebid year.

25:35Mike Minogue:Voucher.

25:37Keyzie:Voucher. Let's push.

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

25:45Keyzie:Liam Gallagher there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday evening. The time is 5.26. We're talking white baiting season and the best recipes for cooking your white bait.

25:58Mike Minogue:White bait chat with the fellas.

26:12Mike Minogue:That's right, he found the sting. I remember the sting. Still playing, Keezy.

26:23Mike Minogue:Good work, Pugs. It's great stuff. Digging that sting out of the archive. Yeah, man. A lot of texts coming in, 3483 fellas. Of course, people are very passionate about their white bait.

26:30Keyzie:Yeah, they are. Can I, I think it's fair to say that your general idea with the old white bait, you have your white bait, an egg, a bit of cracked pepper, a little bit of salt, fry it up, put it between two bits of fresh white bread and heaps of butter. Yeah.

26:50Mike Minogue:Yeah, this one here from Tony, for example, a whitebait fritter, grated spuds, fish stock, poppy seeds, flour and egg. I think it's a poppy seed with a whitebait. If you have it without poppy seeds, you're an idiot. I've had it before as well. And this is a South Island specialty. They're mad for this. Exactly as you describe it there, Jase, but just on top of that butter there on the bread, a thick spread of marmalade. Yeah. Oh, really? A marmalade or a mite. So either a veggie or a mar. Very different. Yeah, very different. Wait, wait, wait. So marmalade the jam or marmite? Marmite or vegemite.

27:26Mike Minogue:Oh, not marmalade. Or marmalade. Yeah, yeah.

27:28Keyzie:On that front, actually, Mogi, you just reminded me. I think probably one of the more unusual times I had whitebait was that as well. Two pieces of white bread. Yes. Your whitebait fritter cooked as previously suggested, but with like hundreds and thousands. Yes. You know your fairy bread? Yeah, it makes it seem like a celebration, which it is. Makes it crunchy.

27:50Mike Minogue:Yes. Oh, that's such a good point.

27:55Mike Minogue:Wait, mate. This is good, fellas, from Steve. He fillets them. Yes. Rolls them in breadcrumbs and then fry them in duck fat. Yeah, duck fat. Duck fat's the one. You need the fat from a duck, eh?

28:07Keyzie:Yeah, it's got to be a duck. You don't want to go a goose fat.

28:10Mike Minogue:Ooh. How about this one? G'day, fellas. This is from Connor. He cuts the heads off. Yep. Fillets them and then puts them all in the smoker. Yeah, the smoker. Smoked white bait.

28:21Keyzie:I personally think the head's the best part. Really? Oh, yeah, you love the head.

28:25Mike Minogue:Well, because what you can do with the heads is you can cut them all off. Yeah. And then you can make a stock with all the heads. Yes.

28:38Guy here, just getting back to how you catch best to catch white bait with the new dock rules that have come in. This fellow here on 3483, I often squat in the river with my mouth open. Yeah, nice.

28:50Mike Minogue:Oh, that's good.

28:51Keyzie:Sashimi whitebait.

28:55Mike Minogue:Fresh out the stream.

28:56Keyzie:Yeah. Yeah.

28:57Mike Minogue:It's delicious. G'day there, fellas. I'll bake them with butter, wrap them in tinfoil, about 22 of foil, 25 if you're in the South Island. Yeah.

29:11Mike Minogue:Someone's texted through here saying they make whitebait soup. Yes. Oh, how good. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, lovely. Yeah, like a chowder, I guess. There's about eight or nine whitebait in there. Yes, for one soup. A little bit of lemon zest, a little bit of cracked pepper. Yeah. What kind of a stock? A fish stock, I guess you'd go with that?

29:30Keyzie:Well, I'd go beef. What were the...

29:37Mike Minogue:Another text here, fellas. G'day there. I love making stir-fry with whitebait. Yeah. It's like a teriyaki. Seven or eight whitebait. Yes. A little bit of broccoli, carrot. Bit of mushy. Bit of mushrooms in there as well, obviously. Garlic, red onion. Rice. Soy sauce. Rice. Rice.

29:59Mike Minogue:G'day there, fellas. My wife makes an amazing whitebait smoothie. Oh, God. There's nothing better than a whitebait smoothie. Yeah. About eight billion whitebait. Yeah. Just a little bit of water. Yeah, just shake them up. A little bit like a bit of yogurt or something in there.

30:15Keyzie:Yogurt?

30:24Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

31:21Keyzie:Yeah, how good.

31:22Mike Minogue:They've become part of various festivals and things over the years. I've been at Rhythm and Vines, Electric Ave, a few other places like that. However, it's the first headline show. If you know anything about Empire of the Sun, they are very into crazy costumes and dress-ups. I love watching their music videos because they're so out there. Yeah, yeah. And I can imagine a live headline show with them would be a visual spectacular.

31:45Keyzie:I'm going to go to that. Really? Yeah, mark me down, fellas. No, 100%. Really? I like their tunes. The costumes I can give or take, to be honest.

31:53Mike Minogue:Was that because they're influenced from... What? There's a tune as well.

32:06Mike Minogue:Great summer music, man.

32:08Keyzie:Yeah, I was going to say it's the sort of music where you have a bit of a dance going on. You know, you get your hips moving.

32:16Mike Minogue:Actually, great road trip music, Empire of the Sun. Yeah. Or winter. Really good in winter or staying home music. I always find them very autumnal. Really? Yes. If you're keen for tickets, they release noon this Friday, September 18th via ticketmaster.co.nz. The tour is thanks to Frontier Touring as well as the Ask That God Afterlife Tour. Should we go to the lines there, fellas?

32:40Keyzie:Yeah, let's do it, mate. G'day, Tom, you mad bastard. How's life? Yeah, good, brother. How are you? Yeah, good. Thanks. Mate, you're a bit of a fan, are you?

32:49Mike Minogue:Oh, absolutely, mate.

32:50Keyzie:Yeah, nice. Nice.

32:51Mike Minogue:Tom, it says you're from Kayapoy here, man. Would you fly up for the gig? Oh, absolutely we would, man. We do trips up to Auckland all the time. Oh, you love it. Oh, rich guys. I don't know about that, but I'm a gig man. Yeah, giggity, giggity. A big gig man.

33:04Keyzie:Tell me, Tom, what do you do for a crust?

33:06Mike Minogue:Oh, I'm a builder, mate. Oh, yeah, back then.

33:08Keyzie:Man, tell me, who would you take with you?

33:11Mike Minogue:I've got one of my good mates, Charlie, that I always gig with, eh? so he's always grabbing tickets and then fixing back and we sort of post part, man. Is there anything better, Tom, than having Charlie with you at a gig? Nah, probably not, mate. Other than my other mate, Dil. There's about three of us that always go, so if I'm only getting two tickets, mate, he'll have to be grabbing a ticket as well. Yeah, mate. A bit of Charlie and a big Dilly.

33:33Keyzie:A big boys weekend of it, why don't you? You know what I'm saying?

33:38Mike Minogue:Absolutely. Sounds great, Tom. Tell you what, mate, that double pass is all yours, all right? Oh, you're the absolute rat-o. No worries, mate. Maybe don't tell anyone that you're going with Charlie. Just a hot tip. You hold the line. Pugs will look after you, all right?

33:49Keyzie:Cheers, man. Thanks very much. Good on you. Tell you what. Yeah, would you? He seemed genuinely stoked with that. He was. He was really happy. And I actually, because I'll be honest with you, fellas, I don't always believe the callers. I'll be honest with you. I don't always believe them either. But I believe, Tom. I believe he's the sort of guy that goes to gigs all the time. He gave me that vibe.

34:10Mike Minogue:See, now, for example, you saying you're going to go to that gig, I don't believe. No, I don't believe that at all. Yeah, yeah. But it's also like how you travel anywhere for gigs is always coming up to Auckland, because oftentimes when you live out of Auckland, and you forget now that I've been here for a while, but you're furious that bands only ever seem to go to Auckland. They never go to Welly, they never go to Christchurch. Yeah. So this guy's going on road trips, and, you know, he's talking about his mate there. It sounds like he really loves Charlie. Yeah. Absolutely loves Charlie.

34:36Keyzie:Yeah, well, you know, He likes nothing more than to get away for the weekend with Charlie.

34:41Mike Minogue:Fair enough, to be fair. Shall we listen to some Empire of the Sun, fellas?

34:46Keyzie:Too late.

34:47Mike Minogue:Walking on a dream tune.

34:49Keyzie:Yeah, it is a tune. Play. Play.

35:04Mike Minogue:Fellas have had an idea that the Hauraki Big Show, the fellas, could move to become food influencers.

35:11Keyzie:Yep.

35:12Mike Minogue:So there's about a billion food influencers from New Zealand as well, pages out there. But, you know, they wouldn't have the same unique spin on things as we would. This comes off the back of a text conversation I had with Jace on Sunday. So I got sent randomly out of nowhere a photo of a bowl of ramen with no caption or anything, just a bowl of ramen. And then I said, is that ramen? Yeah, cool. And then he said, tan-tan with pork mince, delicious. And then I said, thanks for sharing. And then he said, you're welcome. A peppery chili broth with real depth of flavor and perfectly cooked noodles.

35:49Mike Minogue:A slight pepper burn on the lips, which is quite pleasant. First time I finished a whole bowl of ramen. Sheesh, so full. Ramen chat with the fellas. It was one of those ones where the flavor profile kept building.

36:02Keyzie:Now I need to put this in context for you Mogi Sure I knew that Kesey was going to be massively hungover Yes And so I may or may not have been in the mood To you know stir the pot a little bit Yeah sure But I also know he's a fan of ramen And food So I wanted to make him go Oh damn it Hoity J's ramening without me

36:25Mike Minogue:Nah but the good thing was I was currently eating a big bowl of noodles Spicy noodles Yeah yeah yeah I think three out of four people on the big show were massively hungover on Sunday. Yes, that's right. 100 % and Old Haughty J was out getting tanned. But I was actually thinking, you know, we have a very interesting palate on this show. Moggy, you love like rice and tofu and stuff. Yeah. Well, yeah. I love great food, but I don't care if I've got bad food. Yeah, which I cannot handle having bad food. It's like, I will not eat this. This is one meal of my life that I have wasted on bad food. You only get a certain amount of meals.

36:58Mike Minogue:Yes. But you spend a lot of your meals eating pork mints. Yeah. 100%. You know, because it's such a great, versatile meat product. And it's very lean too. Not the stuff I get. Just filled with fat. Yeah, I get 50 % fat pork mints. We have to order it specially from the butcher. But I was thinking, imagine if we started some sort of Instagram social page. Like Pugs will run it all and film it all and edit it all and put it out there and run the whole thing, obviously. Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like he wouldn't care.

37:26Keyzie:I actually genuinely think if the four fellas, if we made a habit of going to places and saying to them, we will review your restaurant, just put it on the house for us there, obviously. And I think it would go off because there's a lot of backbones out there that love their food and they've gone, oh, the fellas said this joint was really, really good. Now, I will tell you this. The biggest amount, I've had a fair amount of abuse online, but one of the most profound abuses I've had was when I got a pizza from a friend of my daughter's who runs a place, and it was magnificent. It was really, really good.

38:06Keyzie:I remember this. And I just gave her a little plug, and she was young, starting off the business. It was fantastic. I paid for it and all that stuff, and this dude just winked me. One person. One dude. He was just like, F you, Hoyt, you sell out. Really? I paid for it, dude. I'm just trying to promote a young business.

38:25Mike Minogue:Well, how about this then? I'm happy to take it for free and cop the abuse, but you will always pay for yours.

38:30Keyzie:Well, the issue that I have with it is I find it very difficult to, if it was really bad, say so. You've got to tell the truth. Oh, you don't? You've got to tell the truth. You've got an obligation to your audience to not lie. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That's true. Well, it was like the other day when I went out and that guy came up to me and said, good eating, and that burger joint. Yeah, and you lied to him. Well, it was terrible. And I went, yeah, it's all right. It was really bad. Or that time where you were having that chicken lemongrass bowel bun and that guy said, idiot.

38:59Mike Minogue:Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like that.

39:00Keyzie:But that was a delicious bowel bun, though. It was actually a banh mi. Oh, banh mi.

39:06Mike Minogue:So, look, it's just an idea at this stage. You're floating it. Yeah, I'm just floating it, and I'm going to get Pugs to put together a few demo reels of how it could look. That sounds good. Maybe like four or five reels. He looks like he's fizzing about that idea.

39:19Keyzie:Well, you look at, too, how much our Come Dine With Me goes off. It does. Especially this weekend's one. Yeah, I'm going to be taking heaps of picks.

39:29Mike Minogue:Really?

39:29Keyzie:Yeah, man.

39:30Mike Minogue:But look, it's just an idea at this stage, fellas. Leave it with me and Pugs, mostly Pugs, and we'll just workshop it. Get on your Pugs.

39:36Keyzie:You're a back, but God, you're good. What would we do without Pugs?

39:42Mike Minogue:The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki.

39:47Keyzie:Welcome back, you massive backbones. You are listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburger.

39:52Mike Minogue:Craveworthy street food freshly made with Reburger. Reburger.

39:58Keyzie:Fellas, I'm fuming. I just popped out there in the break just to get a bit of fresh air. Sure. She's bloody chilly out there, I'll tell you. Will you? And anyway, I was coming back into the building because the sliding doors have stopped now because it's after six. Yeah. And I saw a person walking towards me in the little reception area there. So I stood at the door to hold the door open for them. And it was a good five, ten seconds. Because I was in two minds about doing it because they were quite far away. And I went, no, no. I'll do it. Stood there, opened the door for them, held the door. They walked through and didn't even thank me.

40:38Keyzie:Wow. That is an outrage. Where's common decency? Man or woman? I don't know. It was a woman. It was a woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I nearly said, you're welcome, but I didn't. It's crazy, isn't it? Because, you know, we've got the studio here. We're often in and out. As you say, you're off to quite a lot to get some fresh air. Yeah, some fresh air into the lungs there. I might be coming in right behind you, and you'll actively close the door as quickly as you can. Yeah, yeah. You'll actively make an effort to not keep the door open for any of us that might be following. And yet, for this woman, stranger, was it?

41:12Yeah, never met her in my life. No, no, no. Opening the door for you. I think that's your just dessert.

41:16Keyzie:I only do that to you when I'm going wheeze and I don't want you following me because I know what you like when we're, you know, at the little urinal there. You get very chatty. And I just find it interrupts my flow. Yeah, I know. And Kesey's the same. He'll chat away there while he's...

41:32Mike Minogue:What are you talking about? Just when I'm doing wheeze. Nah, I won't, man. Silent time for me. Hey, by the way, New Zealand, we want to know what you're having for dinner tonight. Yes. doing that next by the way what's for tea in New Zealand with me Keezy every single text in the draw for 50 bucks worth of Reburger 3483 we want to know what you're having for tea what your name is and where you're texting from as well

41:55here's Lincoln Park

41:58Mike Minogue:the Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki

42:04Keyzie:the gorillas there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this Tuesday evening

42:09Mike Minogue:hey fellas We've got$2 ,500 worth of goodies from Trade Tested to give away. Trade Tested, they specialize in everything you need for your backyard. And it gets delivered to your front door. Backyard stuff to your front door. If you are keen to win$2 ,500 worth of stuff, head to tradetested.co.nz. Put together a bit of a shopping list there. You've got up to the$2 ,500 mark. And then go to hodaki.co.nz slash bigdeckenergy and enter there with your shopping list.

42:40Keyzie:And just on that front, because you mentioned it yesterday, people were very good last year at getting right up to that 2 ,500, 2 ,499. 100%. Good stuff.

42:51Mike Minogue:It was good stuff. So tradetested.co.nz, put together a shopping list, then go to hodaki.co.nz, enter the competition, make your deck great with Tradetested, fellas. How good. But right now it's time for... Oh, that's right. Time to chat footy with me, Keezy. What are the Warriors up to?

43:16Hopefully winning. Teamless Tuesday. Fiel is obviously up against the Newcastle Knights and the Eliminator. We've got an Eliminator. This Sunday at the sold-out Eden Park. Fiel sold out in about 24 hours. I went to get tickets. There's one seat over here, one over there, one over there. No good.

43:32Keyzie:It didn't surprise me because, God, they're bloody popular. I don't know if you've noticed. They like the Warriors. People like him. People like him. Who? The Warriors? Who did the Knights beat last weekend, by the way? Rabbitohs. Okay. Yeah, got them good. Here's your team there, fellas. Injuries, once again, mean we're not fielding our best possible team. Well, best possible team without the injured people in it. You put the injured people on, they'd be no good. Yeah. Because they're injured. Fullback, Tain Toapiki. Yeah, man. How about that? He played very well last week. He had a great game.

44:04Your winger is Chans in AKP. Your centres are Ali Laotoa and Adam Pompey. Great. CHT. CHT into Mighty Martin at your halves. Front row of James Fisher-Harris, Barnett and Wade Egan. Kurt Capewell and Jacob Laban are your back rowers with Aaron Clark. Isn't that lock, fellas? Yeah. Interchange is pretty standy. Sam Healy, Tennis Dallas-Smith, Demetri Valmonga, Eddie Aramia, Toyava and Jack Cleary has made it on there as well. Six-man bench with Morgan Gannon. Old mate Jackson Ford played only 26 minutes last week, Felix. Looks like they're holding out hope for Lekka Halasima and DWZ who are both planted on the reserves list.

44:54So there's a chance they could come in. So they might get a late call-up. Ideally

44:57Keyzie:you want to not play them win and then they're fresh. Oh, 100%. Against the Dolphins. But what you don't want to do is not play them and lose. And then they don't get, then it's all over and over. Yeah. It's a tricky one. And also, Keezy, for the Knights, pretty much as read, but Dylan Lucas, who's been out since round 21 with a fractured ankle, a fractured ankle, has been named among the reserves.

45:23Mike Minogue:See, the thing we've got to look out for with the Knights is their left edge is ridiculous. Dylan Lucas plays on the left edge. He's the left side back rower. and he is a tri-scoring machine. Yeah, he's a tri-scoring machine. Is he? Because they'll feign going out wide to Caelan Ponga and out to Greg Marju. And hit him short. Barnstorming winger. And they'll hit it short. And Bradman Best as well. And they'll hit it short to Lucas, who's just an absolute weapon.

45:49Keyzie:Well, can I just say this? If you guys know that, surely the Warriors do. Exactly right, man. But it's one thing to know it. It's another thing to stop it. Yes. All I'll say is this. This is potentially our last game of the season. and I don't care if we lose as long as we play Warriors footy. I just want them to give it 100%, to go hard, to try as hard as they can, to go for tries, to not kick penalties. Go hard and die trying. Don't be nervous and make sort of those protect the lead sort of decisions. Yes, I agree. You're not going to win the comp like that, so let's start playing like God damn backbone.

46:23Keyzie:Leave it all out on the field, Mogi.

46:26Mike Minogue:Hear, hear. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

46:33Keyzie:Ozzy Osbourne there on the Radio Hauraki big show this Tuesday evening. Fellas, I hope you don't mind, but I want to talk a bit of fashion with you if you'll indulge me.

46:43Mike Minogue:Fashion chat? Yes. Here we go. Fashion chat with the fellas.

46:52Keyzie:And more specifically, I want to talk about something that I've noticed out there over the last few months. The new look, I guess you can call it, right? And it's the three-quarter pant. Now...

47:04Mike Minogue:Where have you been looking? Because I have not seen that anywhere. Are you serious? Are you talking about baggy shorts?

47:10Keyzie:No, I'm not talking about, like, for example, Pugs came in today with those ridiculous shorts.

47:16Mike Minogue:Really long baggy shorts.

47:17Keyzie:Yeah, that you could argue were the three-quarter pant. Now, I'm talking about the look where... Imagine if a guy's wearing boots, right? Ankle boots.

47:27Mike Minogue:So the ones you used to wear?

47:29Keyzie:Your ankle boots, your bloodstones, stuff like that. And the pant is about three or four inches above the top of the boot. Yeah. Back in the day, if someone walked out of that, you know, walked around with that, you'd go, geez, he got that horribly wrong. Yeah. You know, you'd be like, come on, man, what are you thinking? That's way off. But I've noticed it more and more, and I just wanted to get your view on it. How do you feel? Because actually, even though initially my initial reaction is, God, that's terrible. That's wrong. It looks wrong. It's sort of growing on me. How are you going to start it?

48:01Keyzie:I'm considering going the three-quarter pant. Have you honestly never seen it, Keezy?

48:07Mike Minogue:Well, I've seen a sort of high, you know, where it sits slightly high above the cuff. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know. Because I'm wearing quite baggy jeans at the moment. Reasonably baggy. Yes. But I've seen ones that go down and show off the sock. Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah. So that's what you mean.

48:23Keyzie:So if you had your socks pulled right up, it basically goes to the top of your sock.

48:27Mike Minogue:Yeah, right, okay.

48:28Keyzie:And it's just a weird look. I wondered what you guys made of it, and would you ever pull it, you know, would you ever do it? I've given it no thought, and no, I wouldn't try it. Okay, yeah, good. You know what I mean? You just, yeah. That's right. Jase, fashion is not for us. Yeah. Fashion is for young people. You're right, Maggie. Style is for older people. Yeah. You have to have your own style, but you can't be chopping and changing with the fashions. Well, you know, because I was just on there, because I'm getting on now. I'm thinking of running a, you know, a cravat or something like that.

48:58Mike Minogue:Yeah right okay I think the issue you've got too is if you did want to do the three quarter pants Is I guess you'd have to buy Half pants You know because the three quarters would be quite baggy on you Quite long Yeah long So do they do half pants Maybe shorts

49:14Keyzie:Well I think if I wore a board short That would probably qualify as a three quarter Pant for me

49:21Mike Minogue:So maybe get some boardies

49:23Keyzie:Well as I say I'm not convinced I want to have that look

49:26Mike Minogue:Do you want to look really cool? Yes. How about an Emerson's hoodie?

49:30Keyzie:Oh, now you're talking. Hey.
