What is the podcast about and who is the guest?
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio show, the Hauraki Breakfast Podcast.
Cheers and kia ora this morning, fellas. Hey, cheers. Kia ora and cheers. Cheers.
Kia ora. Cheers, that's a... Cheers. Oh, that's good. There we go. That's the sound of a black coffee that's way too fucking hot to drink for me. Mmm. I just had a very, very brief, ugh, because I felt like it was the radio show when you said fucking too hot. I just had a little, ooh.
Oh, he's sworn, he's sworn.
He's sworn within 10 seconds of broadcast. That's fucking chilly, I can't.
The man is... The man is sworn. Executive producer, Ruda, did you sleep last night in the studio again?
Sleep is an interesting term. I felt like I didn't sleep well. I felt like I was too hot. I was running too hot under my duvet last night. Did you bring a duvet? My duvet and my sleep mask. Sleep mask felt very heavy.
The sleep mask 2000.
Yeah, I'm a little bit hungover. Only a little though. Yeah, look.
You look like you've had not a lot of sleep. And you look like you've been sleeping under a really hot duvet that doesn't breathe.
Yeah. In a B studio on a child's single fold up foam mattress. Yeah. How'd you guys know?
I was going to say a child's single fold up mattress.
One you could find at Power Rubber most weekends. Yeah.
There was a lot of discussion last night. We went to look behind the curtain. Disgusting. We went to Split Ends last night. And it started quite late, 9 o'clock for a Sunday night. It was a school night. Too late. And I got home. I got out of there about 11.30 I arrived home.
Hard to get out of Spark. Difficult to get out of Spark. Horribly hard to get out of Spark.
Yeah, we walked. Me and my friend John walked miles. Yeah. We walked to TVNZ, oddly enough.
Holy shit. You walked to TVNZ?
We walked to TVNZ. We wanted to get a bit of distance on that Spuck Arena. That's a long way to walk. And also that Surge pricing.
Surge tanking. Yeah.
37 bucks to get from that. Yeah. We did a bit of negotiation with some of the taxi drivers. Oh, yeah. Because my mate John spent a bit of time in India once. Oh, yeah. So he just walked up and said, how about I slash your fucking tires right now? He just loves to haggle. Wow. He loves a haggle.
I can't haggle, man. I can't. And I can't even be there when someone else is haggling. I'm writing that down for the radio show. That's a good one.
Haggling a taxi. He's like, these C's are ripping people off along here. You know these C's. They'll just chuck the taxi sign on their car and they're trying to rip you off. He goes, let's see if we can haggle a ride along here. I'm like, let's not worry about that. He goes, come on. It's fun. It's not fun. It's fucking awful. He loves a haggle.
All right. I can't watch it.
How does haggling play a role in everyday situations?
That's difficult. I feel so awkward. I did it once in Bali and that was it for these glasses. And I was like, 20 bucks. And the guy's like, nah, we can do better than that. I was like, I'm not paying more than 20 bucks for these rip-off fucking Versace's or whatever they were. And then he's like, one more price, brother. One more price. I was like, nah. And I put them back on the thing. He goes, okay, 20, 20. I was like, oh. That's the most haggling I've ever done is I just told him the price I wanted to pay and didn't budge off it.
That's it. That's haggling.
That is happening, yeah, but I wasn't going to go, oh, then I say 60% lower than what I actually want, and then I meet him back at 40, and I'm not doing all that shit.
Well, my mate John said to one taxi, he goes, you've got a weird amount with the price. He goes, $27.32. And the guy goes, what? And he goes, $27.32 to get up to Ponsonby. And he goes, $0.32. And he goes, no, $27.32. And the guy goes, why 32 cents? He goes, is that what it costs to get an Uber? John goes, no, that's just the price that I'm offering you. And the guy's like, he started thinking about it. He's like, how am I going to charge him 32 cents? I have to round that down. He goes, you've got to weird them out.
That's a good point. It's a good point. It's like when we do interviews, we always try and make the first question weird to stop people from just getting stuck.
