- 0:44Speaker 1: to the middle of the Auckland Harbor Bridge, which actually
- 0:46Speaker 1: it takes what fifteen minutes to walk there or something,
- 0:49Speaker 1: make quite a walk to the middle of it, you
- 0:50Speaker 1: don't realize, right, And then when you get out to
- 0:52Speaker 1: the middle, you're like, oh wow, this is super high.
- 0:54Speaker 1: And then you go up this other massive staircase taking
- 0:57Speaker 1: up like another fifteen twenty menus, and it.
- 0:59Speaker 4: Is just unattached because you have the beat, you have
- 1:03Speaker 4: this attachment that. Yeah, it was I was like, you know,
- 1:08Speaker 4: there's there's spaces to fall through here.
- 1:11Speaker 3: And it's a plunge into the ocean a park.
- 1:16Speaker 2: You signed a waiver just letting go of the ladder alone, right,
- 1:21Speaker 2: you're climbing up a ladder staircase. Yeah, but very steep
- 1:29Speaker 2: and you can see the water throw run a wire.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Yeah you think that?
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent so far. I mean you have the leash
- 1:39Speaker 2: the whole way essentially, just that last like five.
- 1:41Speaker 3: The highest part right. Yeah.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I don't even really know that they did the bungee
- 1:45Speaker 2: jump off there. I don't think.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Well, there's a shitty little pod that is mounted underneath
- 1:50Speaker 1: the middle part of the harbor bridge, right, which you
- 1:52Speaker 1: go up to on the stairs and you're just in
- 1:54Speaker 1: this glass pod which shakes with the wind in every
- 1:56Speaker 1: car that goes over, and it is terrifying.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Can I say, couldn't have picked a bit of day?
- 2:00Speaker 2: It's beautiful. It was a beautiful day.
- 2:03Speaker 4: We were actually saying you wouldn't want to be there
- 2:08Speaker 4: when the wind was up.
- 2:10Speaker 3: But she was a little bit windy but not too bad.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I think yesterday it was pretty sh Yeah.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Yeah, good good on your keysy, you did it mate, thanks.
- 2:23Speaker 2: F fit is just fucking yes boy so sick. Yeah, yes, boy,
- 2:31Speaker 2: it's a shame you couldn't do it, Jason the end.
- 2:32Speaker 4: But yeah, I'll be honest with you, even if I could,
- 2:36Speaker 4: I don't think I would.
- 2:38Speaker 3: It's that scary.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it was terrifying. Like the edge of that lidge.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be horrendous.
- 2:45Speaker 2: You got the death wil sit on.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's all fun and games, everyone's laughing, and then you're
- 2:47Speaker 1: like walking up, You're like, oh, look at the set.
- 2:49Speaker 2: This is cool.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And then as soon as you get up into that
- 2:50Speaker 1: pod and you see the lidge, yes it is. That's
- 2:53Speaker 1: the that's terrifying. And there's this bit in the video
- 2:56Speaker 1: which you can see on a hockey socials where they
- 3:00Speaker 1: have connected you up.
- 3:01Speaker 2: It's around your ankles.
- 3:01Speaker 1: You've slowly walked to the edge of the plank and
- 3:05Speaker 1: then they dropped this big thing that has all the
- 3:07Speaker 1: cord inside it at your feet.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna drop this. It's going to feel quite
- 3:10Speaker 2: heavy their lick and I feel like it's going to
- 3:12Speaker 2: pull me off. It was literally what I was just
- 3:14Speaker 2: going to say. When I did a jump fucking twenty
- 3:17Speaker 2: five years ago or something. You're standing there and it
- 3:19Speaker 2: feels like it's dragging you. That's down by your ankles,
- 3:23Speaker 2: and then of course, the moment that you leap, it
- 3:25Speaker 2: feels like nothing is attached to your legs at all.
- 3:27Speaker 2: That's right. So you go from feeling like you've been
- 3:29Speaker 2: dragged off to feel like the fucking l is it things? Yeah?
- 3:33Speaker 3: Did they hoop that barset up or not?
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 3:36Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would.
- 3:39Speaker 4: I would imagine that one of the weirdest things too,
- 3:41Speaker 4: would be being pulled up upside down.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that wouldn't be fun.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Oh is that what happened at the end. There's a
- 3:47Speaker 2: cord you directs yourself.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I was pulled up literally sitting on a seat
- 3:52Speaker 1: going up right.
- 3:53Speaker 4: One of the people I hadn't thought about that, one
- 3:55Speaker 4: of the people that did it. They got pulled up
- 3:57Speaker 4: the entire way upside down, and that they don't think they.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Enjoyed that at all. No, all the blood into the head, they.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Wouldn't have been able to pull the lever there was
- 4:07Speaker 1: even you had. And they were like, when you get
- 4:09Speaker 1: to the top of when you're like weightless, when you've
- 4:11Speaker 1: bounced up, pull it to the left. And I tried,
- 4:13Speaker 1: and I couldn't pull it to the left right, And
- 4:14Speaker 1: I was like, go, finally it happened. So I don't
- 4:16Speaker 1: think it was it a girl that struggled with it.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I don't think it would matter if it was a woman.
- 4:21Speaker 2: It was one of the girls there who was like
- 4:22Speaker 2: really freaking out.
- 4:24Speaker 4: It was a dude, yeah yeah, but I mean, having
- 4:28Speaker 4: said that, he didn't look too fast.
- 4:29Speaker 3: But yeah, getting dragged all that way up upside down
- 4:32Speaker 3: would be henous.
- 4:33Speaker 2: In my head, it would have happened. It was happening
- 4:36Speaker 2: the same way as it happened for me. So I
- 4:37Speaker 2: did it in topoor and there when you jump off,
- 4:41Speaker 2: then a boat comes oh no, and they detached you
- 4:45Speaker 2: from the thing, and then you get you go on
- 4:47Speaker 2: a little boat ride and this is the worst bit.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Then you've got like a twenty fucking minute walk up
- 4:53Speaker 2: back up to I was like, if they had told
- 4:56Speaker 2: me about this, I wouldn't have done it. Big Show
- 5:00Speaker 2: week days from four on Radio Hurarchy with the Wary
- 5:05Speaker 2: Big Show Podcast.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I was leaping off the edge and back up on
- 5:08Speaker 1: the edge all and under a minute.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, it was pretty quick.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I was saying to you, seeing that the whole thing
- 5:14Speaker 1: happened so quickly from you getting in there, strapping you
- 5:18Speaker 1: in and then walking out to the platform, Boom done.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I'm going to just three to one for a little
- 5:24Speaker 2: bit of But I tell you been happily. You're not
- 5:31Speaker 2: going to not do it, are you. You're like, you
- 5:33Speaker 2: just get this.
- 5:35Speaker 3: I reckon. There'd be quite a few turnbacks.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Absolutely, yeah, you know, people going, actually, now, I'm not
- 5:40Speaker 4: doing this.
- 5:40Speaker 1: When you see the video of me walking out to
- 5:42Speaker 1: the edge of the plank, I'm doing these little footsteps
- 5:44Speaker 1: and it's sort of a comic effect. But in my head,
- 5:46Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, when you just slow this walk down,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you're walking way too fast towards the edge of the
- 5:51Speaker 1: you realize what you get that you have to jump off.
- 5:52Speaker 1: And I was trying to walk slower, but I could have.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Do you know what it made me think of? What
- 5:56Speaker 3: dead Man walking?
- 5:58Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:58Speaker 4: Chains, yeah, you get the injection by patsn love you man,
- 6:05Speaker 4: Thanks man, Okay, Pugsy, But you know, full credit to
- 6:10Speaker 4: your keysy and and you did well to not hesitate
- 6:13Speaker 4: and just jump you have like, because you're right, you
- 6:16Speaker 4: would have just dragged it out.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Otherwise I would have got more and more painful.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I'm sort of used to having to do real dumb
- 6:21Speaker 1: shit onto you, like, because when I was working at
- 6:23Speaker 1: crag as well years ago that always try and get
- 6:25Speaker 1: me to do stuff, and you realize you just have
- 6:28Speaker 1: to do it with a big grin freak out a bit,
- 6:31Speaker 1: which I fucking When I was on the edge of
- 6:33Speaker 1: that thing, I was genuinely like I could quite happily
- 6:36Speaker 1: say actually, no, let's not do this, But then I thought,
- 6:39Speaker 1: there's just no way you can't do that dying and
- 6:42Speaker 1: the sooner you really are than being a coward.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Honestly, it's like yeah, it's like, yeah, we're an idiot
- 6:52Speaker 2: for dying that way, but it's even worse walking back in,
- 6:54Speaker 2: like fuck that no way.
- 6:58Speaker 1: The best the thing is as well as because he
- 7:00Speaker 1: said you'll be back up within a minute, right, And
- 7:02Speaker 1: I was like, well that the sooner I jumped, the
- 7:04Speaker 1: sooner that minute.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Starts, yeah, and I will be fucking done with that. Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 2: So great, great thing to do. Great thing to keep
- 7:10Speaker 2: it as you get older.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Are you going to do it again?
- 7:14Speaker 2: If you get a charity involvement we raise one hundred
- 7:16Speaker 2: thousand dollars and the one and because what's it is,
- 7:19Speaker 2: it's how six forty I think the one in the
- 7:23Speaker 2: one in Topaul was somewhere it's forty or fifty and
- 7:25Speaker 2: then the one at Skipper's Canyon is that the original
- 7:28Speaker 2: an a year down in Queenstown there, it's like one
- 7:31Speaker 2: hundred and fifty.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, nope.
- 7:34Speaker 2: See, after I did total, I was like, it was
- 7:36Speaker 2: all right, but that one would be fucking that would
- 7:40Speaker 2: be terrible. One hundreds would that be? And weirdly, I
- 7:45Speaker 2: remember going to like a big day out over in
- 7:46Speaker 2: Australia and they had them over there. They had them
- 7:49Speaker 2: at the Big day Out. There's something about being over water.
- 7:52Speaker 2: It's fine, but they had big day outs where they
- 7:54Speaker 2: had bungee jumps over concrete. Yeah, and there's just like,
- 7:57Speaker 2: there's no fucking one that's not fun. No, can you
- 8:00Speaker 2: imagine because the result would be any different, But yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 2: there's something Psychologically.
- 8:05Speaker 1: My brain was like, as I'm plumbing, I will start
- 8:07Speaker 1: to slow down and if I do end at Snaps
- 8:09Speaker 1: and I go into the water sweets, yeah, I'll be
- 8:11Speaker 1: sucked out into the the It was such a long walk,
- 8:14Speaker 1: there's no way I could swim back.
- 8:16Speaker 2: But I was like, it'll be fine.
- 8:17Speaker 1: But if that was yeah, even in like above the
- 8:19Speaker 1: canyon down in Queenstown, that would just be so terrifying, yeah,
- 8:23Speaker 1: the bridge.
- 8:24Speaker 4: No, thanks, Well there's the ones where I don't know
- 8:27Speaker 4: where they are, but you dip into the water.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Yes, but you can ask for that.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I could have done that today. Oh really, yeah, I said,
- 8:33Speaker 1: I do not want to be dunked in the water. Yes,
- 8:35Speaker 1: so they do it. It's all based on your weight
- 8:38Speaker 1: and length. Yeah, yeah, so they could have. And so
- 8:42Speaker 1: remember when we first got there and they were like,
- 8:43Speaker 1: can you put on the outfit of what you're going
- 8:45Speaker 1: to be wearing? And I was like, oh, can you
- 8:48Speaker 1: just wait me now? And then I realized, I hang on,
- 8:50Speaker 1: this is to determine how long the bungee rope is
- 8:53Speaker 1: going to be. Absolutely, I'll put right now, because at
- 8:56Speaker 1: first it doesn't matter. I'm like ninety you know who
- 8:58Speaker 1: just chucking it. It was like, nah, well it's done
- 9:02Speaker 1: nowt and I've got a massive headache.
- 9:03Speaker 2: That's called how good? Yeah? All over? Well dad, and mate,
- 9:07Speaker 2: how's because your daughter was sick? Right she was? Yeah.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I dropped in the card to come on down to
- 9:12Speaker 2: the bridge there, and as I was backing out the driveway,
- 9:15Speaker 2: I got a phone call from the school and yeah,
- 9:18Speaker 2: they just said that she was sitting in there because
- 9:20Speaker 2: she was here. Last night she was in the studio, yeah,
- 9:22Speaker 2: and she fell asleep watching TV, which just does not happen.
- 9:26Speaker 2: That's her happiest s in the world. So we tuck
- 9:28Speaker 2: it out. Yeah, she was bagged and so then went
- 9:32Speaker 2: home and it was like, oh, well, we what were
- 9:34Speaker 2: we going to do? Tomorrow is probably going to be sick.
- 9:36Speaker 2: But she woke up in the middle of the night,
- 9:38Speaker 2: brand new yarning on and then was sweet this morning.
- 9:41Speaker 2: So I sent into school and then she was just
- 9:43Speaker 2: at school and just sitting there and just stopped talking.
- 9:46Speaker 2: And then they took it a sick bay and she
- 9:48Speaker 2: had like a thirty nine point one. What's a normal
- 9:50Speaker 2: temperature thirty seven? Yeah, so yeah yeah, and then.
- 9:57Speaker 3: Kids getting a fever, oh dude.
- 9:59Speaker 2: And but the first time she got one night, you're
- 10:01Speaker 2: just fuck. It's the scariest thing in the world, isn't it.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Yet you get a few under your belt and it's
- 10:07Speaker 2: not as bad. But there's something about them when they're sick.
- 10:12Speaker 2: There is something activated in you. He really is. It's
- 10:17Speaker 2: like that it does something in your DNA, like this
- 10:22Speaker 2: protection things, and you're like the love just gets amped
- 10:27Speaker 2: up and they're so helpless. There's something that's it's pretty amazing.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Really it is.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and she was. I took her home and
- 10:34Speaker 2: then you put it to bed.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Like you got one one hand, you've got keysy jumping
- 10:39Speaker 1: off a bridge. The other hand, your daughter is sick. Yeah,
- 10:42Speaker 1: straight away your brain discussed, I don't give you can
- 10:46Speaker 1: snap on the.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I really wanted to be there, but yeah,
- 10:51Speaker 2: so that was bad timing, but also good timing because
- 10:55Speaker 2: I could have also been on the bridge. That's right.
- 10:58Speaker 3: That would have been a pain in the ass and ship.
- 11:00Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is at least you can be
- 11:02Speaker 2: on the show today. That's right. That was good. And
- 11:05Speaker 2: then the wife came home early. Sweet, good stuff for Hershey, oh,
- 11:08Speaker 2: we're running out of time. Sweet, we'll pick it up
- 11:12Speaker 2: next week. We're probably not, probably not. Hey.
