Chapter 1: What is the significance of the Broadcasting Standards Authority's disbandment?
Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio show. The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast.
Welcome along to the podcast. Terrible news yesterday. The disbanding of the Broadcasting Standards Authority, a relationship, an organisation that I've had quite a relationship with over the years.
Yeah, longstanding.
And a good one, I've got to say. A positive relationship myself and Broadcasting Standards Authority. I would say very positive.
Well, I would say that somehow Ruta has been able to find your entire history of Broadcasting Standards complaints. And it is extensive. How many instances, Ruta? I reckon in here, in this dossier here, there's surprisingly only about 19 maybe. I thought there'd be more, Jerry, to be honest. It's five double-sided pages.
I feel like there's more than that, but this feels like a bit of a dossier.
Yeah, 100%. Stretching back to 1999.

Chapter 2: How many complaints have been lodged against Jeremy Wells?
Yeah, stretches back. And look, we've had a hiccup. We had a hiccup in 99.
Yeah.
But apart from that, we've had quite a positive relationship.
Back in 1999, Simon Boyce, maybe beat that out.
No, it's all right.
It's on the public record.
That's a good point. It's on the public record.
Complained to television in New Zealand, the broadcaster, what he called gratuitous swearing on the program, which includes the use of the word, Fuck. Breached the good taste standard. He complained about the episode, which he said, the usual contextless examples of gratuitous swearing for the first minute. First minute, Jerry.
As for the 17th August episode, he noticed that Havoc called someone a fuckwit. Highlight of the sequence, Mr. Boyce suggested, was the person spitting on a car. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What examples of complaints against Jeremy Wells are discussed?
And with them binning the BSA, they want it to be entirely self-regulated, which it kind of is anyway.
Yeah, so the media is going to be like a media council, which happens at the moment in print.
Yeah, it's something that happens anyway. So it's not going to be a huge change. It's not like it's just going to the Wild West.
Is it? No, I don't think so. And the reason that it's happened this way is because nowadays it's called the Broadcasting Standards Authority and obviously so much content is delivered online now.
Yeah, like, for example, this podcast.
Yeah, this podcast. And because there's other stuff coming in from overseas that's online that they have no control over, pornography, all sorts of stuff, the Broadcasting Standards Authority doesn't have any jurisdiction over that. And I think the main thing was it was accidental.
So if someone happened to be listening or watching something like a child or something like that, then an authority needed to come in and say, hey, look, these people didn't choose to watch this broadcast. Whereas... I think with online content, you choose to go and get it, so the onus is on you, basically.
And then recently they tried to, I would say overreach a little bit, and they tried to enforce it on a couple of podcasts. And it's like, well, okay, so if I'm not allowed to say that, but Joe Rogan can go on and say fuck, shit, can't, then it's not a level playing field at that point.
Yeah, and that was a reasonable argument.

Chapter 4: How does the complaint process work with the Broadcasting Standards Authority?
We didn't actually have any ideas of what we were going to do in the whole show.
No, that's how the gay gore thing happened, isn't it?
Yeah, and it was on at 10.30 at night. Nobody was watching. And so it was a sponsored show. It was kind of like making a little bit of money for a production company that I was working for at the time.
And so you just go to Oikone with no plan.
Yep. You're digging your hand. Yeah. And when we arrived there, me and some other guys went, what are we going to do? And then we were just hanging out at, I think I was having a ciggy in the playground. And I said, hey, come and have a look at this. This graffiti is quite interesting. And some of the other guys came over and it said this person's name sucks anyone's cock.
Slut features, which is true. And that's a fact.
Slut features.
Slut features? They called this person slut features.
For instance, it said, Ruda sucks anyone's cock. Slut features, which is true. That's a fact.

Chapter 5: What changes are expected with the disbanding of the BSA?
Which is quite nice, actually. It's pretty accurate, too. Mean pasha. Who's the man with the mic in hand? Can I just say, are people still pashing? Are the young'uns still pashing? Good question. No, it's all online now. Yeah, right. Sadly. Who's the man with the mic in hand? Ruda. Who's the man with the master plan? Ruda. Who's the bitch with the cheesy mic? Ruda. Goes by the name.
Fuck you, Ruda.
It's not supposed to be the cheesy Mike. Is it supposed to be cheesy Mac? Yeah. Cheesy Mac.
Okay. Wank my balls. Wank my Mac. Yes, please. Go hard. And then someone's name.
I think I know what the name is.
The name is the person's name. So I read these, and then I read the person's name with them. That was stupid of me.

Chapter 6: How does online content regulation differ from traditional broadcasting?
I never should have done that. We should have beeped out the names.
Hold on, though. So how come that's a breach of broadcasting standards, but writing it on the side of the playground, that's all good? Great point. Good question. I don't think it is. Where was I in 2001? I think it's illegal. Yeah, exactly. It's graffiti. But they would have been sweet.
Yeah. Apparently what happened, so a bit of context for this one as well, is because in those days small towns didn't used to be on TV very much, everybody from Owakuni found out that it was going to be a show about Owakuni that night.
Yeah.
And so they all sat down and watched, including people from the school. Yeah. And then I read the names out. And then the next day in school, apparently it was just a fever of intense people going, oh, my God, did you see that thing last night? And people making fun of all of the people whose names I'd read out. And so then.
I want you to know that still happens in small town New Zealand.
They complained. In relation to the message, wank my balls. Wells observed, wanking balls hurts, and it's not a very good idea. Instead, why don't you try wanking your cock?
I think that's good advice.
I mean, you don't want to wank balls. I thought that was sage advice. Speak for yourself. Really? You wank your balls?

Chapter 7: What humorous incidents arose from Jeremy Wells' past broadcasts?
That was happening. That did happen.
Did it?
Yeah. So, well, they were – yeah, the mice were fed to the wicker because it's like that's the food that the wickers eat. And so we filmed it, but we showed it. Well, I actually wonder about that one. I thought that was a bit gratuitous looking back. I'm surprised we didn't get – I'm surprised that one didn't get upheld. It did happen.
Yeah. The Grand Tour, Jeremy Wells and the NZSO, the Symphony Orchestra Tour of China and Europe. Yeah. During the discussions with the musicians, conductors, orchestra fans and health professionals, ask one of the orchestra directors if there are any rules about sexual practice before performances. I think that's a good question.
I like this next one.
Questioned a resident doctor at a concert hall in Germany saying, what about if someone goes down in the orchestra with possibly a bow through the testicles or something along those lines? If the testicle's on the floor, would you have to pick up the testicle at that point? This is an orchestra member who's had their testicle on the floor. Would you have to pick up the testicle off the floor?
Is there a room where you can take them and the testicle? Ask the principal harpist from the NZSO, has anyone ever asked you to play the harp nude and suggested the notion of a nude harp ensemble? Ask the violinist in the orchestra, have you ever needed to go number ones or number twos during a performance?
I think that's a reasonable question.
Ask the orchestra's physiotherapist, no one's ever asked for a happy ending, have they? And erections, is there ever an issue? Ask one of the musicians whether someone reminds everyone to go wheeze before a concert. My God, those are tame.
