The Hodaki Breakfast. Get your insulation job sorted with Bunnings Trade.
Jerry and Mania, The Hodaki Breakfast.
Welcome along to The Hodaki Breakfast. It's Monday the 15th of June, 2026. My name's Jeremy Wells, this is Mania Stewart. I'm just extending my microphone into stand-up position. We're going to need a little extra energy this morning. It's the depths of winter, isn't it, fellas? You can really feel it this morning going through the motorway. I could see about six feet in front of me.
Oh, that's right. Yeah. And I got right up the backside of a car that was in front of me on the motorway. Cop car. Did you? Yeah. No contact? No contact. Strict no contact. But for sure he would have looked at me, or she, in the rear view mirror and gone, what's this person's problem? I just backed off. This person's tailgating me. Why is this person tailgating me? Well, it's flashing the lights.
It's honking the horn. It's like, you know.
You're coming in from out west. It's been a big weekend. Probably on the glass barbecue.
Yeah. Still cracking. And I'm not sure whether the Swift's got a waffle or not. So I just backed up off that thing. It was like, you know what? Carry on your day, officer. Can you be pulled over for no dipstick? The Swift's got no dipstick. You can tell. It's a hazard.

Chapter 2: What are the highlights of Kane Williamson's retirement announcement?
If you could, I should be. Oil could leak out the top. Yeah. You don't want to overtake or tailgate a police vehicle. No. Where possible. I was once in a car that crashed into a police vehicle. Looks like we're filling up the next break already. So Minaya got up the arse of a cop car this morning. No contact, though, Minaya? No, no contact. No contact?
I mean, it's not like I'm trading paint with cars on the motorway into work. Well, in a foggy situation, you might be cruising along, next thing you know, thick fog, boom, there's a whole lot of cars stopped. Yeah, well, I did wonder why they were going so slow on the motorway. I was flashing the lights, honking the horn, trying to give them the hurry up. Ah, yeah.
Get out of the fast lane if you're not going to go fast. Well, I've gone in a vehicle, I've been in a vehicle that's gone up the arse of a cop car, literally. Damn. So... We had been... Actually, myself... Well, went up the arse. Depends on what you call it. If we're referring to the arse of a cop car.
Yeah, up the arse.
Didn't go up the arse. Certainly banged into the arse. It didn't penetrate. So... We were on our way back from, I don't know if you remember these parties, but they used to be called the Titanic parties and a friend of mine, Matt Nichols, used to put them on and it was a dance party on a boat and you'd go out and there'd be DJs and you'd go around the Auckland Harbour on this boat.
It was a lot of fun. And then do they scuttle the boat at the end of it and it sinks in? I remember there was a big event. There'd be like one a year or something like that. And we'd been out high on the hog there, cruising around in the harbour. Cruising on the Adderall. The old habbo would have played some tunes. I'm talking 1998, I'm going to say, 1998. Pre-social media too. Pre-social media.

Chapter 3: How did the hosts react to the police car incident on the motorway?
So anything goes. Some people were videoing, it turns out, because I've seen some video of one of those recently. Anyway, we're coming back from that. We've got off the boat. And we're on our way back to the clubs, to the nightclubs. The old Havo's been working, so it hasn't been drinking. And so we're on the way up to the nightclubs, up on K-Ride. It's probably 1.30 maybe in the morning.
We're on Pitt Street. And we're chatting away, having a great time, and then just boom. The driver of the vehicle, being the old Havo, had forgotten that he didn't have a foot on the brake and straight into the back of a car, which was in front of us, parked, waiting to turn left onto Pitt Street. Oh, no. Sorry, onto K Road from Pitt Street. Right. Can you picture me? Yes.
Outside the calendar goods. And we're like, boom. And the car just went, boom. And everyone went, ooh. And then I looked ahead at the car that we had struck and it just turned out to be a police car of all the cars that you would hit. It was a police car. Damn. And at that point, the driver of the police car. A police person. Yep. Got out. Came around. And the old have-o wound down the window.
Oh, sorry about that.
Sorry about that.
And the cop goes, what the hell are you doing? And he goes, sorry, I was just drifting off there briefly. Oh, no. And wasn't concentrating. I thought you were going to go, and then you didn't go. And then my apologies, my apologies. He sort of just charmed his way around it. And then the cop goes, had a look at the car and there was no real damage.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of taking sick days on weekends?
And then he goes, look, mate, just be a bit more careful, will you? Of all the cars that you can hit, police cars, not a good look. Got onto the car, drove off. Wow. We then... Got away with it. Drove off as well. Drove off to the nightclub? Yep. Oh, the cop just let you go? Yep. No harm, no foul? No, no. Did he recognise Havo from the TV, maybe? Ah. Get you out, Havo from the TV. Maybe.
I don't remember exactly the age or stage of the police officer myself. I can't really remember that detail. Was that before breath testers had been invented? No. You would think that that was the first thing they did. I mean, if they had, he would have been under the limit. I guess we'll never know.
See the Warriors on the weekend fellas Saturday night absolutely Dutted by the refs and we'll get into that in a second Stop us if you've heard this one before on a Monday morning But the Warriors were dutted by the refs Just before we get into that, though, a long-time friend of this show, Tanner Stowers-Smith, was asked to do a massive job this weekend because starting props are out.
James Fisher-Harris has got a calf injury, I believe, and Mitch Barnett's away on State of Origin duties. And so Tanner Stowers, or as you may know him, Meaningful Minutes. Meaningful Minutes. Loves doing Meaningful Minutes, Tanner Stowers-Smith.
Yeah, now I know that Sean Johnson's a big fan of this show, certainly the station, and so he obviously must have tuned in because have a listen to him discussing Tanner Stiles-Smith, the head of the game.
I get excited to see someone like Tanner Stiles-Smith contribute. It's a real good opportunity for Tanner to really, I guess, take that next step. He's come through, he's been so impactful off the bench for us, so classy off the bench, like it's been meaningful minutes from him.
How good? Bullshit. I know. Holy crap. It's filtering through.
Yeah, that's right.
Or that, or the simulation's not working properly. Look, we don't report to the news. We are the news. We're the tastemakers here in our turtle. I love it. I love that so much. Final score in the end, 8-10. It was a bit of a bludger of a game. Good defence, I would say, for a low-scoring game.

Chapter 5: What are the reactions to the recent Super Rugby matches?
Chanel, I'm not responsible. When the buzzer goes, the buzzer goes, mate. I'm not looking at the clock. Wait, that's their issue, not mine. If the buzzer goes and you haven't kicked, you haven't kicked it.
So what happened there was usually there is a timer up on the screen. Chanel looks up, there's an ad playing on the screen at Mount Smart, which is a little bit of a betrayal from the ground staff. Yeah. But anyway, he looks up and he goes, I can't see the timer. He goes to the ref, how long have I got to kick this? The ref clearly said five seconds. Two seconds later, the buzzer goes off.
Shadel goes, well, what the hell? You told me five seconds. And he goes, well, I've got no control over that. It's got nothing to do with me. It's the guy who runs the buzzer. Meanwhile, about three minutes later, there was a scrum that wasn't packed in time. The same thing happened. It was a penalty against us. Who was on that buzzer? Yeah. I mean, that should be a home buzzer.
That should be a home person. We should make sure that that's up on the screen. Yeah, that was a little bit iffy. But, I mean, what else does he have to go off if not the referee? He asked the referee. Yep. So he was just trying to milk it, and he ended up kind of being caught over milking it. Well, no, because this is the annoying thing. If he was trying to milk it, you would understand.
But he wasn't. He was just genuinely asking the ref, well, when do I have to kick this? It wasn't like he, you know, players sometimes bend over and tie their shoelaces. They can't find the ball. They dribble it. You know, they roll it along the ground or something or they pretend to talk to someone. He wasn't doing that. He was talking to the ref. How long have I got? Ref goes five seconds.
He goes, sweet. Kicked it two seconds later. So it's not even like he was trying to run the clock out. Yeah. And he kicked it as the buzzer went off. So, yeah, we were absolutely dutted. They get a penalty for that right out in front of the thing. They scored the two points. How much did they win by? Two points. You do the math on that. Two points.
It was always going to be one of those games, though, and we did talk about this on Friday. Yeah. I had a funny feeling about that one. Yeah. Coming off a bye. Yeah. And we, for some reason, we struggle a little bit off a buy. I don't know what it is. A lot of injuries. And for some reason, the Sharks are our bogey team at the moment, it seems. I'm not the only one annoyed about it.
Webby was pissed off. And he doesn't often do this in the press conference, but he had a bit to say about it.
Chanel says to the referee, there's an advertisement on the screen. He says, ref, how long have I got? I can't see the clock. He says, you've got five seconds. He kicks it in two and as he's kicking it, the siren goes off, blows his whistle, gives a penalty, two points straight in front. They question and he says, not my fault.

Chapter 6: How did Kane Williamson's retirement impact New Zealand cricket?
NRL's known about it for seven years. Do your own research into that. I don't... Time for your latest sport headlines. Thanks to Export Ultra, the BFA here. Germany lead Curaçao 4-1 with 15 minutes to play in their FIFA World Cup opener in Houston. If I give you $1,000 and a printed out map, could you point to Curaçao? No, but I'm feeling... Caribbean?
I'm thinking South America, top of South America somewhere. No, I don't know where Curaçao is, but just looking at how it's spelt... I mean, I think I'm in the right continent. I think we're going, yeah, sort of northern South America into the Caribbean. Yeah, definitely not southern South America.
Okay, well, if I smeared my finger across the map in such a way, I could probably cover a part that might have Curacao in it. Anyway, they were 1-1 when I came in. Zoe was freaking out out there. Yeah, the two sides traded goals in the first quarter of the match before the Germans took the lead seven minutes before halftime. The Netherlands beat Japan and Dallas from 8 o'clock.
Zoe's got her hands on her head. She thought they might have just rattled the crossbar. Lewis Hamilton has turned back the clock with an emotional victory at the Barcelona-Cataluna Formula One Grand Prix. The 41-year-old has claimed his first Grand Prix in two years and the first since switching to Ferrari at the start of 2025. It also makes him the oldest F1 winner since 1970.
Kiwi Liam Lawson claimed ninth after moving up the standings late after Antonelli's engine failure while Charles Leclerc was also forced out. I'm aging at the moment through your favorite athletes retiring at your age period of my life. You know what I mean? It's like here comes the oldest player in league history and it's like, beauty's my age. God damn it.
I'm starting to wonder if I will make the Warriors next season. I'm thinking maybe not. And the entire city of New York has been celebrating after the Knicks sealed their first title in basketball's NBA for 53 years. It was incredible. I watched this game. 94-90 was the game. Game 5-1 in San Antonio. Wrapped up a 4-1 series triumph over the Spurs.
Next at 5, and they're burning the city to the ground. New York has turned into Gotham City. Some of the footage that's come out, I was just having a good old doom scroll for about an hour last night as Germany evidently score another goal out in B studio. I was watching all the footage on my iPod phone last night.

Chapter 7: What insights does Paul Ford provide on Kane Williamson's legacy?
They are burning school buses. They are swinging off the bloody traffic lights. I'll tell you what they love. They love throwing a bin. They love throwing a bin. They love throwing a bin in New York. Man, they're throwing some bins. They weren't even in New York when they won in San Antonio. So the fans back home are going absolutely crazy. We'll talk about it later on, but it's insane.
Positive bin throwing. That's how I'd describe it. Happy bin throwing. Shiny happy bin throwing. It's not often to see a happy bin throwing. It's not. Happy rioting. Yeah. But it's rioting nonetheless. Up next, let's talk about whether you can take a sick day on the weekend. Our bespoke podcast went up in a record time, 6.13 this morning.
That's two minutes faster than Ryan Bridge making us again the fastest podcast to be uploaded in the world. The first podcast to see the sun. First podcast to see the sun and we can claim that today. First bite of the cherry. First bite of the cherry. You can go and listen to that whenever you please.
And on that is a full chronology of our Friday night where I told Ruda, he was playing at the bar that I was going to, if I'm still there at 8 o'clock by the time you start, something's gone drastically wrong. Well, it went wrong. Yeah. And continued to go wrong as the Crusaders lost and then buried my sorrows, blah, blah, blah.
All of that to say that now in my dotage at the ripe old age of 34, I can still piss up, but I can't back up. I've got a head cold immediately. From being up at 5 in the morning to going deep into the night in the middle of winter, that is a recipe for waking up with a head cold now.
But what's so frustrating about that is that anything worse than being sick across the weekend, because I'm still sniffly this morning, but I feel fine. All weekend, just knocked out, couldn't do anything. Can you take a sick day on your weekend? Now, I feel like I've investigated this before. Yeah, I think you have.
And I remember, and the person who I would go to in these situations always is Hilary Barry. She knows employment law inside out. Does she? She really does. She's been around for a long time. She's wise. Not that long. She will read stuff. If she wants to know something about something, she will investigate deeply. Yes.
You know, any kind of situation, she's immediately, it's the journalist in her. It's still in there. Investigative. It's still in there. And she'll be on. She'll be Googling. She'll be changing. She will find answers. And then speak truth to power. Yeah. Totally.

Chapter 8: What questions would listeners want to ask Johnny Knoxville?
So what is her truth? Speaking truth to power. Has she found it?
I'm pretty sure. Now, unless I have conflated this with getting sick while you are on leave. That's different. Oh, okay, okay, yes. I think a weekend maybe is the weekend, and so you weren't paid for the weekend anyway.
However, if you get sick whilst on leave, even if Christmas holidays, right, and you were sick and you couldn't work because you were sick, I think in theory, and this is just what I remember secondhand, you can then claim that day back. That makes sense to me because you're burning a day's leave and saying, I'm going to take this paid holiday instead. But I am actually not fit for work purposes.
I mean, it's ridiculous because you would have been not at work anyway. You're booked in. But I couldn't. Even if I was, then I couldn't have. So I think, I mean, all you were doing is exchanging one day's annual leave for one day's sick leave. That's basically all you're doing. Well, exactly. That's precisely what you're doing. And sort of six of one, half a dozen of the other. But it is good.
I mean, because the sick leave, of course, you can't take with you. And you don't get paid out for. If you leave, then you do get paid out for your annual leave. Yeah. Whereas sick leave, but sick leave does carry over. It might work anyway at TBNZ. We don't get sick leave here at NZME. But, well, I don't. I think you might. I don't. But at TVNZ, it carries over the next year. Yes.
And then it keeps carrying over. And actually, I was talking to one of the guys at TVNZ just the other day, Nigel, who is lighting.
You know Nigel?
Lovely guy. He's been working there since 1996. Damn. About a year before I was there. Yeah. 362 sick days he has, Owen. Far out. He is due a year-long illness. 362. You don't want to wish a year-long illness on someone, but Nigel. There's someone who could absorb it. Nigerian Mania, the Hodaki breakfast.
We're just talking about whether you are within your rights to take a sick day on the weekend or potentially on holiday. On the weekend, probably not, unfortunately for me. But Paul has texted on 3403, can confirm, got sick during the Christmas holidays and swapped out five holidays for sick days. There we go. It makes sense. Why should you have to burn a day's annual leave when you were sick?
