Welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast.

Tuesday the 12th of May 2026.

Yes, the chips thing.

This is the Eric Estrada of the Hideki Breakfast team and I, Stuart.

You're very much Ponch.

Have you Googled Punch and John?

Alfonso Poncherelli was his name.

Alfonso Poncherelli, you'll see why you're Ponch.

Nigerian Mania, the Hodaki breakfast.

Sorry, I've just done a deep dive and I know I shouldn't have got waylaid because nobody will care, but I've gone deep on to Ponch from Chips.

Ponch and John, I'm very much the John Baker, you're very much the... I thought it was Alfonso Poncherello, but it's not.

Racist.

It's actually Llewellyn Poncherello, Eric Estrada.

He's Welsh, and everyone knows that.

You can tell it just to look at him.

He loomed large over the 1980s, Eric Estrada.

He came here to Telethon in 1980.

I'm going to say 1984, but it may have been 85 even, and did some clap press-ups.

He did clap press-ups.

Someone, some smart New Zealander out there who could well be listening right now, pledged $10 probably, or less, maybe $5, for Eric Estrada to do 10 clap press-ups.
