Chapter 1: What is the first podcast episode of 'Great Routes of NZ' about?

Hey, big news, Minaya. Oh, yes. I don't know if you've heard. We've done the first podcast formerly known as Dudes Rooting. Oh, really? Yeah.

Chapter 2: Why did Ardie Savea almost quit the All Blacks?

11.326 - 29.131 Unknown

We managed to do, probably in this current climate, it's probably not great to promote roadies just for the sake of roadies. Oh, right, yeah. It's a luxury. Yeah, it is a luxury. But we did Rainbow's End. To the Outback Inn in Hamilton.

0

29.231 - 29.732 G Lane

Oh, of course.

0

30.413 - 33.278 Unknown

What a classic New Zealand roadie. So we did that route.

0

33.539 - 34.52 G Lane

You don't want to do it the other way.

0

Chapter 3: What did Melie Kerr achieve against South Africa?

34.62 - 43.375 Unknown

That's coming out tomorrow. Oh, great. So just in time for those people who are on their Easter trips, if you kick it off as you pass the big drop.

0

43.395 - 43.976 G Lane

The Tower of Terror.

0

43.996 - 54.716 Unknown

The Tower of Terror at Rainbow's End. And you can go all the way into Hood Street in Hamilton. Oh, well, that's great because I know so many New Zealand families are doing that tour. classic Kiwi pilgrimage this weekend.

0

Chapter 4: What challenges are the Warriors facing this season?

54.776 - 71.597 Unknown

You can stop it at a certain point and that's when we turn off to Hamilton Centre and you can carry on to Cambridge. I'm sure 99.9% of people will be carrying on through Cambridge and then into Tidal as they head south. Or maybe they, you know, off to Coromandel Wall.

0

Chapter 5: How does the NRL Easter Weekend schedule compare to Super Rugby?

71.617 - 86.282 Unknown

This is great. You've advanced the football a little bit on this podcast. We still haven't quite got to where we know it'll get to eventually, which is actual road trips that people are actually doing. At the moment, it's just wherever the fuck we're going at that time. Well, we kind of tossed up really. It was like, what's probably...

0

Chapter 6: What feedback did listeners provide in 'Yours Please'?

86.262 - 104.343 Unknown

one of the most popular in terms of the amount of cars on it. And that one there is the most, in terms of just four lanes of traffic. Of pain. Of pain. That's it. And then we'll branch out to doing, you know, your more scenic ones. Yeah. Your more kind of, Ah, there's a pass.

0

104.363 - 106.106 G Lane

Yeah, all those kind of things. Highway 35.

0

106.467 - 120.252 Unknown

The miraculous thing about the new motorway from Auckland to Hamilton is that despite the fact that it was only open, what, like two years ago, it's already immediately under reconstruction. And it's still road cones the entire way down that way. It's not too bad at the moment.

0

120.232 - 135.793 Unknown

half of it sank though didn't it originally that was actually the cleanest run we've done on that one the only road major road works was like Papakura which is still still Auckland still Auckland which is still always under construction just before you hit the turn off to Drury yeah

0

135.773 - 155.74 Unknown

Is the roadworks in this country a bit of a fugazi where they know, hey, we're on our government contracts, the money's not going to run out, so we're just going to keep this thing going? I used to have a job where we just tied steel cages to put inside concrete slabs, and the guy my first day sat me down and he was just like,

Chapter 7: What humorous stories are shared about food experiences?

155.72 - 173.245 Unknown

Look, just plod your way through this. Don't get through a whole week's worth of work in an afternoon, despite the fact that you definitely could, because you're going to blow this whole thing up for us. They all think that it takes me a day to make one cage. So they give you the marathon, not a sprint speech before starting.

0

173.265 - 173.806 G Lane

He did.

0

174.067 - 190.637 Unknown

The boss didn't. But I was looking at it like, I can't go any slower than this. This is ridiculous. Yeah, I very much got that vibe on. It's a bit like the Sydney Harbour Bridge when they paint it. By the time they finish painting it, they go back to the other end and it's time to repaint the other end. Yeah. It's kind of like that with the roadworks.

0

190.617 - 201.051 Unknown

There's a lot of history along that motorway as well. We tore the roof off the caravan. Yeah, Pocono. Stopped in Pocono, the town that most people have forgotten.

0

201.371 - 207.459 Manaia Stewart

G-Lane went very historical with it, actually. You'd be surprised to know. When you listen back, he went deep on the history elements for sure.

207.6 - 228.114 Unknown

When I was a child, I used to listen to Radio Pacific. What was it before that? Oh, no, it became something else after Radio Pacific. I think it became like Radio Live. Radio Live, yeah. They were heavily sponsored by, they were massively in the pocket of Big Pocono Bacon. Oh, yeah. And so all I knew of Auckland was that there's this place called Pocono and they sell heaps of bacon.

228.134 - 238.446 Unknown

Oh, it's still Big Bacon. Big Bacon is still well and truly. Big Bacon and Big Dairy. There's every second shop selling 15 scoop ice creams in Pocono.

238.466 - 238.726 G Lane

Oh, right.

238.746 - 241.709 Unknown

Have you heard about the Pocono Poutine? Pocono protein?

Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on the significance of underdog stories in sports?

266.328 - 268.35 Manaia Stewart

No. I think the corned beef needs to be in there.

0

268.45 - 285.148 Unknown

Racist. Then there was sausage, bacon, and chips. No. And this is a kind of a... Oh, my God. Oh, no, that's just sausage, bacon, and chips. I thought that was a pie flavor. No, no, just a sausage. It's the Pocono poutine. Pocono poutine. How much were you paying for the Pocono poutine? $13.50 for the Pocono poutine. That's pretty good.

0

285.248 - 300.858 Unknown

I had the single scoop ice cream because it was like 10 in the morning. I thought just a single scoop for me. And it was massive. It was three bucks. I was like, that's value for money. And, you know, in the current climate we're in, that's good eating.

0

300.878 - 303.884 Manaia Stewart

It's not far off the motorway either, which was quite good.

0

303.904 - 308.553 Unknown

You just get off and you're there in about two and a half minutes. I'm all in on the Pocono Poutine. That's hilarious. Yeah, it's good.

308.954 - 320.038 Manaia Stewart

Pocono's a great place for a stop off, a good outside, like a good sitting area outside all the bakeries and stuff like that. There's a bit of a vibe there. And I still don't understand why there were so many families eating ice cream yesterday. It's $3.

320.118 - 340.229 Unknown

You can't walk past it, man. Wait until it's the holidays. It's going to be heaving. We went on a basketball exchange down to Invercargill one time, and we got through to Palmerston. We pulled over and went into a dairy bakery there. And we had this basketball team. We all walked in, and they had assorted fudges there that obviously someone's just made and put them in the cafe.

340.49 - 366.229 Unknown

But they'd ran out of space, so they had put arse.fudge. And so a basketball team of like 15, 16-year-old boys walk in, and they see arse fudge. Yeah. And we lost our minds. We bought the Palmerston Bakery out of ass fudge. That's up there when Chris Cairns took over as father. Lance Cairns was fudge. And the amount of times people are like, oh, I didn't know Chris Cairns was a fudge packer.

366.249 - 375.005 Unknown

Has fudge packer fallen off as an insult? It has fallen off a little bit. And I think as a result of that – Chris Kittins ruined Fudge Packers. Yeah, he did.
