The Hauraki Breakfast. Get your insulation jobs sorted with Bunnings Trade.
The Hauraki Breakfast with Gerry and Minaya.
Good morning, welcome along to The Hauraki Breakfast. Wednesday the 10th of June, 2026. She's a chilly morning all around the country.
Welcome along though. Yeah, Arctic. It's quite refreshing when you wake up first thing in the morning. Still no frost as of yet in Auckland. I don't think I'll see one.
No, currently 7.2 in Auckland, although down the country as you go further and further south, frostier and frostier. Frostier in the Waikato. It's colder as you go south here again. Central Platte. Yeah. Still getting hit by some decent swells in Wellington, although that wind is dying down.
I saw some of the footage of that yesterday. That looked gnarly. The... The sea had come onto the land, hadn't it?
I believe there was a 12-metreer recorded somewhere.
Is that right?
12-metre Poonami. That's a big body of water.

Chapter 2: How do VHS players work and what are their features?
They think, yep, I love Suzuki's, but I've lost my dipstick, and now I can't buy another one. Well, here's how reliable they are.
You don't need a dipstick. And I actually think dipstick is just another invention by big oil to sell you more oil.
Chapter 3: What nostalgic memories do people have about VHS tapes?
Because since I've gotten rid of mine, well, actually, I've never had one, I haven't bought more oil for that thing.
I want to know the origin story of how you lost your dipstick. Because obviously the person before you took it out... And they must have checked the oil and then forgot to put it back in again. Is that what we're thinking?
But the person who owned it before me, he owned it for a number of years, and that was my brother-in-law. And his story is that it always had a dipstick. And I was like, well, did you ever have to top the oil up?
Chapter 4: What are the challenges faced when using VHS tapes?
He's like, I can't remember.
I was like, because it never had a dipstick. What do you say to allegations that you used to refer to him as the dipstick?
Well, how do you answer allegations that every time I bring that dipstick up, the same joke gets made on the text machine that the dipstick's actually sitting behind the wheel? So who else is in there? Pack and save. AA Insurance. I find it strange that an insurance company would be up there
Well, let's go back to pack and save. I mean, obviously people trust them to deliver, you know. To keep prices low. Well, yeah. I mean, that is the cheapest supermarket. Yeah.
So they don't pack your crap for you. Yeah, but only rich people care about that, Gerry.
The common folk, they don't. Actually, nobody packs anything anyway anymore, do they? No. And you don't get any bags, so that's hopeless.
No. You can get pack and save to pack stuff for you if you buy online. Because then they go around and they get everything off the shelf for you and then you can go and pick it up. But you've got to do that thing like a week in advance.

Chapter 5: How has the popularity of VHS changed over the years?
There's a hack. So Pack and Save, they don't do online shopping?
They do, but you've got to go and pick it up. Oh, you've got to pick it up. Well, okay. You've got to pick it up and you've got to be organized.
But I mean, what I'm saying is they're not as into the online shopping as, say, your Woolworths.
No, not as much.
But the problem with the online shopping is you click something and they can't find it. They'll just find the nearest possible thing and they'll go, yeah, that'll do. Now you're at home, you ask for gluten-free bread, it's normal bread, and now you're back in the supermarket. I've never done the online shopping. Well, because you've got people that go and do your shopping for you.
It's as good as online shopping. What I find interesting is Air New Zealand. Up at five. My flight got delayed three times on Friday. It's down two, though. It's down two. Down another couple if I get one of those surveys. Who have they got to compare to?
We're talking about New Zealand's most trusted corporate. That's because the Kantar Corporate Reputation Index is out. It's been going for 12 years now. Toyota's the number one. Pack and Save is two. AA Insurance is three. And then, surprisingly, TVNZ is four.
Yeah, that is very surprising. I wouldn't have thought so. I thought for the amount that people slag off the news, you would think that TVNZ would have been way lower than that, and particularly the fact that you're on it.
Well, that's the thing. I think they slag off the news, you're right, Mano, but Seven Sharp delivering light infotainment every single night without fail. To educate and to inform. We never don't deliver a program. We're always there delivering our good news, an optimistic look at New Zealand life after the news every single night.

Chapter 6: What are the latest updates on Ben Stokes and the England cricket team?
So if you used to buy the actual tapes, you could rent them. Yes. You'd be a member of it, like Video Easy, for example, and then it would cost you normally five bucks, seven bucks. Yeah. To rent one overnight?
And the newer the movie, the more it costs, and then there'd be like three for $10, and those are the ones that came out 10 years ago.
Oh, that's the same as like on Amazon Prime now. When you rent it, it's only about $5.
Sort of, except that you had to physically return it by a certain date, and if you didn't, you would get fined. And even if you did return it on time, but you hadn't rewound the tape, you would get fined for not rewinding your VHS.
But then what did the VHS employees do?
Find you. Sit there and find you.
If you were Matt Heath, you'd get a little bit of tape and you'd put it over the top of that tab and then you would insert your own scene into famous movies. Yeah, he used to insert his own scene into Star Wars and then send it back to the video shop. And so people would be watching and they're like, what the hell?
There's a real scene in the middle of it.
Bloody Matt Heath.
