Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The Hodaki Breakfast. Get set for winter with Bunnings Trade.
The best way to catch up on what you missed. The Hodaki Breakfast radio show podcast.
Welcome along to the Hodaki Breakfast. Thursday the 7th of May 2026. Sad news, Ted Turner. Great Mo. Gone too soon. Gone too soon at 87. I guess my only question is who the hell's Ted Turner?
Chapter 2: How did Ted Turner influence the media landscape?
Ted Turner. The media mogul started CNN. Great New Zealander. Ted Turner. Which one's that? Is that the one that loves Trump or hates Trump? Ted Turner hates Trump, doesn't he? Hates Trump. Well, certainly Trump doesn't like CNN. CNN, yeah. I don't think him and Trump get on.
It's crazy watching those, when we were over there in the States, watching the news channels, you flick between the two of them, they're covering the exact same thing from just the most insane angles. The most insane. Fair and balanced. Yeah. It's like, so how do those 300 people that we just bombed affect the stock market? You're like, what? Yeah, that would be Fox. Yeah.
Then the other one's just like, that's, yeah. Yeah, no, I think Ted Turner and Trump didn't get on. Ted DiBiase. Yeah. He sold, I think, Ted Turner sold CNN quite a long time ago to Time Warner or something. Anyway, he was a billionaire. Ted. R.I.P. Go on, Ted. Great name. How much money do you have to have in your account for you to make the news when you die? Good question, I reckon.
200 million? I think you'd make the news if you died, Gerry. Me? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I think you'd make the news. Yeah, probably for like a couple of breaks, maybe in the morning, but I think I'd head off the algorithm pretty quickly. I think by the end of sort of the day, I don't think my story would be out there anymore. No, 100%.
And then someone would send through a bloody complaint to the BSA. Yeah, should we talk about that next? It's quite something, isn't it, the end of the BSA? Yeah. I'm a bit sad about that. I've had a good relationship with them over the years. Nigerian Mania, the Hodaki breakfast. Hey, what's going on? The BSA, the Broadcasting Standards Authority is now gone. Is it officially gone today?
No, so they've got to run some legislation through. It's going to probably be going after the election in November. Oh, okay, because I had one in the chamber. Man, I was about to go. You can still do it. I was about to pop. I was about to pop. No, I don't think I can. Well, I mean, what are they going to do from now until the election?
I feel like people might just go, well, I'm not even going to bother. I'm not going to, I'm going to ignore the authority of the Broadcasting Standards Authority. Well, but also the fellas that work there, they know they're getting sacked November 7th, so what do they get? Yeah. Let's just start reading the complaints. Yeah. No, they're not going to read them.
Anyway, on the podcast this morning, we went through in reverse chronological order, well, actually chronological order, but they printed it out in reverse, of some of the complaints that have been made About Jeremy Wells. You may know him. He does the Hodoki Breakfast Show with Manoa Stewart. You may know him as Eric. Some of them are real doozies. Only one of them, I believe, upheld. Yeah.
Yeah, one. One from 2001. How's this one from 2025? Yep. Complained that the broadcast breached the offensive and disturbing content standard of the Code of Broadcasting Standards in New Zealand because Jeremy Wells, that's you, Mm-hmm. positioned a cucumber for an extended period in such a manner that it could be likened to a man holding an erect penis. How do you answer the charge?

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Broadcasting Standards Authority's disbandment?
Arseholes. Bloody arseholes. Can I double down? Gerry, I find that disturbing. Can I use the C word? Well, no, you can't because the very next one was October 2024. At two separate points in the interview, presenter Jeremy Wells, and I would remind the jury that that's that guy over there, and Neil Finn referred to another band member as a GC. Okay, what's wrong with a GC?
What's wrong with saying a GC? It's disturbing. It's a positive word. Apparently you also said a good and the word had to be beeped. A good C. Yeah, well that's the whole idea, GC. Okay, well how do you answer these allegations from the 22nd of March 2023 during a segment of Seven Sharp where hosts Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells, which I would remind the court is that guy over there,
competed in a steak-off to see who could barbecue the best steak. I remember it well, on the deck of the TVNZ, upper deck at TVNZ. An upper decker, was it? Yeah, it was. Okay, well, how about this? During the competition, Wells wore an apron with an image of a naked man's torso on the front with the genitals on the apron. Pixelated throughout the segment. Disgusting. Well, we pixelated it.
I mean, it was a picture of Michelangelo's David body, actually. So a very famous statue, very famous sculpture from Michelangelo, which you can see in, I believe, Milan. You can see on Seven Sharp. And yeah, you can see, and we pixelated it, so I'm not quite sure what the problem with that is. Okay, well what about a bit of elder, can I interest you in some elder abuse this morning?
In an item about road rage on Seven Sharp, the presenters were discussing slow drivers when Jeremy Wells made the comments, Grandpa, and always a grandpa. Media Matters and NZ complained that the comment breached the discrimination and denigration and accuracy standards. And the Broadcasting Standards Authority said it didn't. Thank you very much, BSR. Okay. Common sense from them.
Okay, what about this one? Good taste and decency. During an episode of Seven Sharp broadcast in 2020, Hills, Baz and Jeremy Wells, which is you, reported on a tornado and a thunderstorm that had occurred in New Zealand. A resident said, I was going, what the hell is that? Strong wind and the whole window started. I thought, shit, this is going to bloody explode my windows.
We brought the weather again today. I don't know if it's going to be a tornado, but Jesus, it's really pissing down. Awful. How do you answer those allegations? Well, I didn't say any of those words, firstly. That was someone that we had featured, and that was just their account of the tornado. I mean, what's wrong with that? Okay, well, what about this one?
During the Hodaki breakfast, host Jeremy Wells and Bring Back Matt Heath discussed smoking marijuana in relation to the several National Party MPs who had recently publicly stated they'd never tried it. The host took calls from listeners... who had also never tried marijuana and asked them why they had never tried it.
The authority did not uphold a complaint that the broadcast promoted and encouraged the use of marijuana. No, it didn't. We were just asking people why they had never tried it in their life. I think that's quite an interesting idea. And for new listeners of the show, will you please read the quote below that one regarding to your like Mike impersonation.

Chapter 4: How does Jerry's Theories segment work?
But now, hold on. Yeah. Don't you already have a double pass? So I'm a massive Split Ends fan and I would not have forgiven myself if I had not gone along and watched this. And I was pretty gutted to see when the first show sold out. And so I said to my brother, you keen to go to Split Ends if there's a second show? And he said, yeah, I am.
And I got in reasonably early and I found some tickets 10 rows back from the stage. Yeah. And so I don't really know if my priority is to get close to the stage and feel the sweat of Neil and Tim Finn or to have a nice night out with my workmates. What do you guys think? Oh, a complicated situation. 3-4-8-3. Do you want to buy Reuters tickets? Oh, I don't know. Nigerian Mania.
The Hauraki Breakfast. Time for your latest sport headlines. Thanks to Export Ultra the Beer for here. Baseballers Kyle Jamison and Will O'Rourke return to the New Zealand Test Cricket Squad for the tour of Ireland and England. Jamison earned the last of his 19 caps against South Africa more than two years ago. What? O'Rourke's been out of the format since playing Zimbers last August.
He's a good addition to the team. Yeah. They're part of a nine-strong seam contingent, which also includes Matt Henry, very good bowler, Nathan Smith, looks like G-Lane, Blair Tickner, big unit, bowls a heavy ball, and Zach Foulkes will hoop it around corners. Michael Ray-Benz says, and something for the mums, Christian Clarke are only Ireland-bound. Fair enough.
There's something going on with cricket at the moment where, because I saw Tickner, TikTok Tickner, great to see him back in the black caps after dislocating his shoulder last year, year before. But there's something about bowling loads, eh?
Like they can't, I just think maybe we've gotten to the point where bowlers are too good, they're too quick and they just, it's too much for the body to go through. It's a lot for a body to go through. It's a brutal weighting that goes through at delivery stride.
Yeah, it's something like two and a half times their body weight goes through their front shoe and explodes the big toe out the front of it. Yeah, it's a funny thing being an international bowler because not only do you have to have the talent to get there, you've got to be able to bowl the ball in the right place.
But then when you actually get there, then you've got to have the body, which has got nothing to do with anything. No. It's just luck, whether or not you've got a body that can handle it.
handle the rigors of international cricket it's the mark hutchinson's it's fluky it's it is it's 100 fluky i mean think about shane bond you know his career is probably cut short you'd say um we just read an article about five different people who have been in and out of the squad joffrey archer plays once out of every five years for the for england it's and then i mean someone like jacob duffy for example he's missing on the tour because of his downstairs operation
