What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The Hauraki Big Show with Toledos. All the good stuff, no nasties. Try it today.
Black Friday, yes or no? Oh, yeah. I'll give you my thoughts. I've had enough of the American bullshit. Can we just stop all this nonsense?
What are the hosts' thoughts on Black Friday?
Black Friday. I don't even know what Black Friday is. All I know is that bloody retail stores try and rip you to pieces, try and get all your cash, and name it Black Friday, all right? That's how I stand on it. So you don't like Black Friday? No, I don't like Black Friday.
Seems a little bit... Yeah.
She's going to play the racism alarm there.
Yeah. Not sure if it is racist, but just in case. Chase, man, what's your problem, brother?
I don't want, you know, the Halloweens, all that sort of carry on, the Black Fridays. It's just an opportunity for companies to make money off us. But the thing with Black Friday... And my wife loves them, by the way.
She's going to be shopping all weekend. Well, firstly, my wife... Secondly, everything's on special on Black Friday. You're bullshit. It is. They say it's on special. They say it's on special, don't they, Jason? Yeah, they do, man. But it's not. And then I saw a study on this, and by a study I mean something on Instagram. Like a meme. It was a meme. And something like 80% of the stuff bought on a Black Friday goes into your landfills, your oceans, your dolphins' mouths, that sort of thing. It is just crap. Because it's on sale, you think you need to buy it. But if it wasn't a Black Friday, you wouldn't go out and buy anything, would you? You're not getting any deals. You're being suckered. If you're going out there and you're buying stuff, everyone out there, listen to this.
If you're buying stuff today, you're a sucker.
How do the hosts feel about consumerism during holidays?
You're a sucker. Well, hang on, because I bought quite a lot of stuff today. Well, you're a sucker.
Well, there you go, Casey.
No, you are a sucker. You're a sucker, Casey. You are a sucker. I'm just going to play this just because I felt like that was racist. I'm not sure if it was or not. But the reason you do your Black Friday sales is you buy all your Christmas presents on Black Friday. So you write, no, Jase, I know you don't like getting your kids and stuff presents because you're not a very generous man. But what we do is we write a note like, mum, what does she want for Christmas? Or what does she need? This, this, that you write all your ideas down. 100% little insulated water bottle. And then on Black Friday, you go through your list and you buy them all because they're all on special.
They say they're on special. No, they are on special. Yeah, they do say they're on special. Yeah, they do say they're on special because they're on special. And this is the other thing that gets deep inside my goat as well. Yeah, go on, you tell it, sister. They go Black Friday that extends into Saturday, Sunday. Oh, so heavy. Black three-day weekend. Yeah. One Black Friday's enough for me, thanks very much. I don't need two more Black Saturday and Sundays.
The Hauraki Big Show, weekdays from 4 on Radio Hauraki.
You're spending Valentine's Day at Jase's batch tonight.
Can I just clarify something from the get-go here? It's not my batch, it's a family batch. Well, it's your family batch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's your batch. Yeah. How are you feeling about that, Pugson? I am over the moon excited and I'm very grateful that you've given me the opportunity to go. Again, it's not me, it's my father-in-law. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm grateful that you made the connection. I'll pass it on to him. Thank you. Listen, I just wanted to sort of set down a few rules for when you go there, obviously. Yeah, yeah, totally. Certain things that need to happen. Yeah. My wife has drawn you out all the, has written out all the instructions of what to do. She's drawn a beautiful map too, fellas. It's immaculate. Really? It is immaculately drawn. She loves a map drawing. Now, first and foremost... Lights out at 7 o'clock.
Well, hang on. The show finishes at 7. So he won't even have been left here yet.
Yeah, so when you get there, don't turn any lights on.
And why is that? Is that for, like, to not disturb local wildlife?
