- 1:10Speaker 2: He does. Every time. That's right. What I actually said
- 1:15Speaker 2: was I'm getting spring vibes. I'm not saying it has sprung.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 1:21Speaker 3: You're walking a fine line.
- 1:22Speaker 2: But having said that, Mogi, it's been a very mild winter.
- 1:25Speaker 2: We can't complain. It's been fucking amazing.
- 1:27Speaker 3: It's been a great winter and a few cold snaps, obviously.
- 1:30Speaker 3: You wouldn't want to be homeless, as we've discussed.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:33Speaker 3: But I expect there's going to be a fucking shitload
- 1:36Speaker 3: of rain.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I think so too.
- 1:38Speaker 3: More than usual.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Wet.
- 1:39Speaker 2: It's going to be moist.
- 1:40Speaker 3: It's going to be a wet bastard.
- 1:41Speaker 2: It's going to be moist, fellas.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Wet.
- 1:43Speaker 2: How was your little date last night?
- 1:46Speaker 3: I'll get into it on the show.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Okay. You will?
- 1:48Speaker 3: I'd imagine so. We had a date, man. You're not
- 1:51Speaker 3: going to not talk about a date.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Well, it was kind of just me and Mogi in
- 1:54Speaker 4: a store together.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:56Speaker 4: It wasn't really romantic. It wasn't romantic.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Well, I thought it was.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Maybe it was.
- 2:01Speaker 2: The pics, they look pretty romantic and romantic. You came
- 2:04Speaker 2: in today.
- 2:05Speaker 3: He was hammering the red wines, old Keezy.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Yeah, well, of course he was.
- 2:07Speaker 3: You see, he spots a red wine, mate. He's straight
- 2:09Speaker 3: in there. Straight into the free espresso martinis.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Wow.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Keezy was giving me, when I came in today, sort
- 2:16Speaker 2: of 2 a.m. vibes. You know, like your date kicked on.
- 2:21Speaker 2: He'd had a few wines.
- 2:22Speaker 4: I was at a Noel Leeming store till 2 a.m.
- 2:25Speaker 2: And then there was a spa pool involved.
- 2:27Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, in the store.
- 2:29Speaker 2: And maybe a bit of lovemaking. I don't know. I'm
- 2:32Speaker 2: just hazarding a guess. I'll just say you're not a
- 2:34Speaker 2: million miles away. Yeah, I don't think so. Not a
- 2:36Speaker 2: million miles away.
- 2:37Speaker 4: Yes. You should have seen because there were mushroom arancinis.
- 2:41Speaker 3: There were.
- 2:41Speaker 4: And these little like beef cheek croquettes.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Yeah, they were all good.
- 2:45Speaker 5: And I just said to the waiter, I said, can
- 2:46Speaker 5: you just grab all those trays and just tip them
- 2:50Speaker 5: on the.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Floor of the bathroom?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 5: And then I sort of got unchanged just down in
- 2:54Speaker 5: my boxes and then just got down on all fours
- 2:56Speaker 5: and just started mouthing it.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Absolutely gobbling them. How good, man.
- 2:58Speaker 1: How good.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Fuck, it was good.
- 3:00Speaker 3: And the pork... Pork belly as.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Well was good. Yeah, pork belly was good.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Yeah, nice.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I had my first arancini. Arancini. Arancini about a month.
- 3:10Speaker 4: See, he's not been to Europe. That's why.
- 3:11Speaker 2: First name Arancini. When I had my week off, we
- 3:14Speaker 2: were up in old Madakana there, and my wife bought
- 3:19Speaker 2: one at the market, and it was bloody delicious.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Was it this big?
- 3:22Speaker 2: It was about that big. It was like egg-shaped.
- 3:23Speaker 4: For reference, it's about 10 centimetres.
- 3:25Speaker 3: That's too big. That's not an arancini, Paul. Well, it was.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You're thinking of a Scotch egg. You bought a Scotch egg, man. No,
- 3:31Speaker 2: it wasn't a Scotch egg. You're thinking of a cricket ball.
- 3:33Speaker 2: It was from an Italian joint and it was beautiful.
- 3:36Speaker 4: But just because it's Italian doesn't make it an arachnid.
- 3:38Speaker 2: It could have been a piece of pizza. Like that big.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Was it triangle shaped?
- 3:42Speaker 2: No, it was spherical.
- 3:43Speaker 4: It was spherical and you bought it from an Italian place.
- 3:45Speaker 2: And what was in it? And it was rice.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it. That's the bastard.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Some sort of beefy sort of thing.
- 3:52Speaker 3: It was fucking delicious.
- 3:53Speaker 4: He's bought our lasagna.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's a meatball.
- 3:55Speaker 4: You bought a meatball there.
- 3:57Speaker 2: With rice in it. Do you guys do your meatballs
- 3:59Speaker 2: with rice, do you? The Italians do. They're mad bastards. Oh, wow.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Actually, they don't do it with rice. They do it
- 4:04Speaker 4: with risotto.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Risotto.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Fellas, I just want a quick comment on that woman
- 4:09Speaker 3: who did the drawings of us all looking like Frankenstein.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:13Speaker 3: She's from America.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yes.
- 4:15Speaker 3: I posted it. She said thanks. I said, we'll probably
- 4:18Speaker 3: talk about you on the show today. She said, I'd
- 4:20Speaker 3: be freaking delighted. Hello from New York City. You all
- 4:24Speaker 3: simply must visit here. Yeah. That's from Jackie.
- 4:28Speaker 2: That is so lovely, wasn't it? Because I read the
- 4:31Speaker 2: blurb and I went, oh, my God, it's from the States,
- 4:33Speaker 2: for God's sake. I thought it was a local here.
- 4:35Speaker 2: How good.
- 4:35Speaker 5: So her and her partner made a video game where
- 4:39Speaker 5: you play a trombone and it's quite a funny game.
- 4:41Speaker 3: You like playing the trombone.
- 4:44Speaker 2: You played one last night, didn't you?
- 4:45Speaker 3: The front bone. Yeah.
- 4:47Speaker 5: So they're video game developers and they made this game
- 4:49Speaker 5: that went viral because they're listeners of our gaming podcast.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Is that how they found it?
- 4:54Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:55Speaker 4: One way or the other.
- 4:56Speaker 3: One way.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Whether they found mine after listening to this or vice versa.
- 4:58Speaker 3: There you go. It'll be good to know actually from
- 5:00Speaker 3: people out there because we've got, and we're able to
- 5:03Speaker 3: track this, such as the power of podcasting feels, but
- 5:07Speaker 3: we've got listeners in Morocco.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Wow.
- 5:10Speaker 3: A lot of them are Kiwis.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Probably.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yes. We don't know. but it would be good to
- 5:17Speaker 3: hear from people.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Where are you?
- 5:18Speaker 4: I do know.
- 5:19Speaker 3: And how did you find this?
- 5:20Speaker 4: That Moroccan, that's a Kiwi.
- 5:22Speaker 3: They love it.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Totally. And I've heard from people, you know, that it
- 5:27Speaker 2: gives them a taste of home.
- 5:29Speaker 3: It does, doesn't it?
- 5:29Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Who told you that, Joe?
- 5:31Speaker 3: It sounds like you're making it up.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Just fans.
- 5:33Speaker 3: That's one of the most far-fetched things of ever.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Just fans, man.
- 5:36Speaker 4: So someone came up to you and said, it gives
- 5:38Speaker 4: me a taste of home.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I'll give you a taste of Big Show. No, someone messaged,
- 5:44Speaker 2: more than one person has messaged me with that.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Everyone's messaging you saying, hey, everyone out there, can you
- 5:48Speaker 3: just flick Hoiti J message on Instagram and just say,
- 5:51Speaker 3: it gives me a taste of home.
- 5:54Speaker 4: The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Now that's good listening.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And it's live.
- 6:03Speaker 3: What are you listening to there?
- 6:05Speaker 1: Oh, me?
- 6:06Speaker 2: Oh, sorry.
- 6:06Speaker 3: I was listening to the Radio Hauraki Big Show.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Right.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Four to seven weekdays.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Yeah, that's quite specific. And iHeartRadio.
- 6:18Speaker 2: What?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Cheers.
- 6:21Speaker 4: The Hauraki Big Show Podcast.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Someone did come up to me yesterday, however, when I
- 6:26Speaker 2: was walking with my wife. And as he walked past.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Idiot.
- 6:29Speaker 2: No, he said legend.
- 6:32Speaker 4: Did he really?
- 6:32Speaker 2: And I get that all the time in town.
- 6:34Speaker 4: Fuck you, the man.
- 6:35Speaker 3: There's a lot of mental health issues in town.
- 6:38Speaker 2: I can't help it. Well, I mean, I'm just me, man.
- 6:41Speaker 2: I mean, I can't. I mean, if people want to
- 6:44Speaker 2: call me a legend, who am I to disagree?
- 6:47Speaker 1: That's true.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Are you a legend, though? Because you clearly ate a
- 6:49Speaker 4: meatball and thought it was an arancini.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Does that make you a backbone or an out-of-it kid?
- 6:54Speaker 2: Aaron, yeah, no. To be specific about it, my wife
- 6:58Speaker 2: bought the arancini. I sampled it. I was curious.
- 7:01Speaker 4: And it was egg-shaped and was about this big?
- 7:04Speaker 2: No, not the size of a rugby ball, Keevy. That's
- 7:06Speaker 2: not the.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Size of a rugby ball. That's fucking tiny.
- 7:10Speaker 2: You know about that.
- 7:11Speaker 3: An arancini ball is normally the size of a meatball, actually.
- 7:18Speaker 5: So I'd say slightly bigger. The one I had in Rome, which, Jase,
- 7:22Speaker 5: you wouldn't be familiar with. It's a very important city
- 7:24Speaker 5: in Italy.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Very important city.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Why is it important?
- 7:28Speaker 4: Well, it's just sort of one of the.
- 7:31Speaker 5: One of the pillars of the modern world and how
- 7:35Speaker 5: our current society operates is thanks to Rome.
- 7:38Speaker 2: And Aaron Cheney.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Democracy wasn't founded there.
- 7:42Speaker 3: The birthplace of democracy.
- 7:43Speaker 4: No, well, Greece had it. Didn't they? The ancient Greeks
- 7:44Speaker 4: had democracy.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Don't get me started on the Greeks.
- 7:46Speaker 2: When are you guys going back to Europe since it
- 7:49Speaker 2: was so amazing?
- 7:50Speaker 5: To be honest, Jase, I kind of see New Zealand
- 7:52Speaker 5: as being on holiday and Europe being my true home.
- 7:56Speaker 4: So I'm currently on holiday I don't.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Know actually Jase but I'd like to go next year
- 8:00Speaker 3: I'm going next year when you guys because of course
- 8:02Speaker 3: people don't know this but of course you guys are
- 8:04Speaker 3: going away and old Mogi's going to be holding down
- 8:06Speaker 3: the fort yeah man like a fucking backbone.
- 8:08Speaker 4: Imagine if it was you holding down an actual.
- 8:10Speaker 3: Fort I'm sure there'd be enough weapons you know it's.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Like You know in those war movies where someone gets
- 8:17Speaker 2: injured and they're under attack.
- 8:19Speaker 3: They're holding down the fort.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And they hold the fort and they go, you guys go,
- 8:21Speaker 2: you go, and I'll hold them off.
- 8:23Speaker 4: And they're like behind cover with a gun.
- 8:25Speaker 2: But you're like, I'll beat them off.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:28Speaker 2: That's what I do, yeah.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Because you've got a stick.
- 8:31Speaker 2: You guys go away to Europe and I'll stay here
- 8:33Speaker 2: and beat them off.
- 8:36Speaker 4: So they all break in and they go to kill you.
- 8:38Speaker 3: You go, wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Wait, what if I beat you all off? With a stick.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Or my hands.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Anyway, thanks so much for that picture. Yeah, yeah, it's great.
- 8:50Speaker 3: It's good stuff.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Did we meet the guy that made the claymation?
- 8:55Speaker 3: Oh, we did. The clay pot. We did, yeah.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Was it Welly? It was him, Welly, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 9:02Speaker 3: It was pretty backbone shit, wasn't it?
- 9:03Speaker 4: I don't know if I met him, but I love
- 9:05Speaker 4: the ashtray. It fucking cracks me up.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Is it in here still? Oh, no, I haven't seen
- 9:09Speaker 3: it for a long time. I think someone's binned it
- 9:11Speaker 3: because nobody else liked it.
- 9:12Speaker 4: Jerry and Manai seem to clear out a lot of
- 9:14Speaker 4: our shit, have you noticed?
- 9:15Speaker 2: Well, I don't mind that. Shit like what, though? I
- 9:17Speaker 2: like that. Oh, right. I went into my daughter's room today.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Why?
- 9:22Speaker 2: Because I was vacuuming.
- 9:25Speaker 1: As if.
- 9:26Speaker 2: And I found half a cigarette. And I was like, ooh.
- 9:33Speaker 3: It was fucking ripped into it.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Initially, I was. Yeah, man.
- 9:37Speaker 3: And then you were like, hang on.
- 9:38Speaker 2: And then I was like, hang on.
- 9:40Speaker 4: Hang about.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Win-win for Woody J.
- 9:42Speaker 2: And then I chucked it in the bin.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Good on you.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Did you?
- 9:47Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I promise you I did. I haven't had
- 9:49Speaker 2: a durry since Brizzy.
- 9:50Speaker 4: Yeah, but you've been hanging off of vape, though.
- 9:52Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Yeah. But that's fucking good for me.
- 9:57Speaker 3: I don't think it is. Because the other night I
- 9:59Speaker 3: was on the vape And I didn't go and get
- 10:01Speaker 3: ciggies but I was blasting away on a vape So
- 10:02Speaker 3: you're just doing something else that's not.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I meant financially Oh sure okay I'll take that Yeah
- 10:08Speaker 2: yeah yeah 10 bucks a week as opposed to I
- 10:12Speaker 2: tell you what it would be.
- 10:13Speaker 3: 200 bucks a week You wouldn't get through 230 grams
- 10:16Speaker 3: a week.
- 10:18Speaker 2: No, no.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Packs.
- 10:19Speaker 2: I'd get through four packs a week. Would you? Yeah.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Jeez, that's too many.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 10:24Speaker 3: You'd struggle, though, at your place. We have the apartment there.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you're not allowed to smoke in there. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:29Speaker 2: I wonder if people do.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Do, yeah, they would.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Smoke inside.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Because your window's open.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but... But people would be looking. Yeah, that's right.
- 10:37Speaker 3: It's very visible to the public.
- 10:39Speaker 2: But I wonder if you own the place, whether you
- 10:42Speaker 2: could do it.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Yeah. Probably... probably yeah I reckon you should be able
- 10:47Speaker 3: to it's your own personal space.
- 10:48Speaker 4: But the smoking thing is a fire hazard.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Though right yeah maybe at the apartment block it would
- 10:53Speaker 2: be like no you can't do that yeah so.
- 10:55Speaker 3: I guess you'll have to move out oh well nah
- 10:58Speaker 3: man once you smoke that half a ciggy it's going
- 11:00Speaker 3: to be all over for you man.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Yeah yeah well that's why I didn't because it'll just
- 11:03Speaker 2: trigger me yeah trigger doosh doosh doosh.
- 11:07Speaker 5: When are you thinking of giving up the vape again
- 11:09Speaker 5: or are we going to save that for like content
- 11:11Speaker 5: at some stage do do a bet or something Yeah.
- 11:17Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not on my agenda right now, Keezy. Nah,
- 11:22Speaker 2: you're all good, man. It's chill. It's just, you know,
- 11:24Speaker 2: it is what it is.
- 11:25Speaker 4: How was hot pot last night?
- 11:26Speaker 2: Fucking good. Good shit.
- 11:28Speaker 4: I'll ask about it on the show.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Listen to the big show, four to seven weekdays, Radio
- 11:32Speaker 5: Hot Up.
