Chapter 1: What unique content does the Hauraki Breakfast Podcast offer?

0.031 - 14.656

Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio show, the Hodaki Breakfast Podcast. Welcome to the first bite of the cherry, the first podcast to see the sun, the first to see in a new day, the day of our Lord, the 15th of June, Evan Charlton.

15.197 - 29.099 Jeremy Wells

Quickly updating the situation, are we the first podcast of the day? Zoe did a little bit of digging the other day. A shallow dive. And it looks like... Quarter past six is the first podcast that Ryan Bridges' Newstalk ZB show is getting up.

0

29.119 - 29.5 Manaia Stewart

Okay.

0

30.161 - 32.905 Jeremy Wells

So as long as we're up by quarter past six, we can claim the title.

0

32.965 - 50.271 Manaia Stewart

We can do it. Well, the thing is, I'm picking, knowing how Talkback Radio works, that podcast will have been recorded from six to 6.15, I reckon. Like, I reckon that'll be the first 15 minutes of this show. First interview, perhaps. Oh, yes. You know what I mean? So we can definitely claim to be the first to have recorded. Yeah, I think so.

50.251 - 56.8

Well, doesn't he do the five to six? Does he? Yeah, he does the five to six show.

56.961 - 57.421 Manaia Stewart

Yeah, he does.

57.441 - 61.527

So I suspect it's the first part of his five to six show. Oh, of course, because it's Hosking, isn't it?

61.707 - 76.849 Manaia Stewart

Yeah. No, no, no, you're right, you're right, you're right. We've just got to beat quarter past six, guys. We can beat quarter past six. Well, it's up to Zoe. Can Zoe beat quarter past six? Look, we can give her all the ingredients. Zoe can do it. What time the cake's baked is entirely out of our hands. Can she do it? Yes, she can.

Chapter 2: What events transpired during the leaving party for Mesh?

232.482 - 250.974 Jeremy Wells

Yeah, they're having a few scheduling issues. I've decided to try and wade in and say, hey, maybe you could do this and do that and put us over there and do this at different times. No, no, no, we're just going with... what's been suggested by some people higher up than us who never actually come here. Who don't go to bars. Yeah, they don't come here, but this is their idea to make it work.

0

251.034 - 269.355 Manaia Stewart

That is a problem in the bar industry. There are higher ups that no longer piss up and don't earn in pubs. Every industry, Mano. Yes, every industry. And so then it's like, you know, they remember what it used to be, but it's like the... The first game that anyone's really cared about in Super Rugby for quite a while was on that night, and then they bloody put Rooter on it the same.

0

269.735 - 272.582 Manaia Stewart

The thing is, they were right because no one was really watching the game.

0

273.044 - 289.78 Jeremy Wells

No. At one point when it was 42-5, Mashi looked up at it and was like, What the fuck happened? Because he'd just missed it. He had completely missed the fact that the rugby was on over there. It was sensory overload. And he said, I am not going over to the ACC studio.

0

Chapter 3: What rumors are circulating about Mesh's next career move?

289.82 - 290.421 Jeremy Wells

No fucking way.

0

290.541 - 310.478 Manaia Stewart

So that's exactly what happened to me too. Because the plan was I was going to go and watch. After the first half, the plan was we were going to flood the studio with Crusaders fans. Because it was Lane and Makoni that were... Commentating? Give them a taste of mana. Where you look up at the scoreboard at halftime, it's 42-5, whatever it was. Pretty sure it was about that. Yeah, it was intense.

0

310.498 - 333.378 Manaia Stewart

It was insane. Crazy stuff. It was fucking insane. So they're just like, well, I'm not going into the bloody thing. So then we're there, and then Lane, of course he comes back to the pub afterwards. Of course he does. Wasn't going to. But, you know, when like that, he comes back in. Anyway, in between times... Ruda fires up and plays a couple of songs.

0

333.398 - 341.347 Manaia Stewart

Then I look over and there's Bonnie Jansen, One News on the mic with a stunning rendition of Valerie.

0

341.928 - 346.433 Jeremy Wells

There was a few stunning renditions. So Bonnie Jansen, One News got up. Got pipes on her.

346.673 - 349.236

Yeah. Bonnie Jansen can sing. Bonnie Jansen can sing.

349.256 - 361.387 Jeremy Wells

Mate, and loud. Tell you what. And loud. Not always good. Didn't need the mic. And then in waits the Duchess. The Duchess was an invasion, I think. The Duchess? In wades, the Duchess.

361.407 - 366.879

I didn't know the Duchess had pipes. No, she doesn't. I don't know if the Duchess does have pipes. Okay.

367.2 - 384.34 Jeremy Wells

And then post-Duchess, straight away, Loz, the long-suffering partner of Mash, just goes, Minaya, angels, come on! Angels. We're doing angels now. And that was about our fifth song. Yeah. So that was probably 20 past eight, that would have been.

Chapter 4: How did the scheduling impact the leaving party experience?

508.758 - 513.024

And dancing at the same time? No, he was still having a good time.

0

513.345 - 519.135 Jeremy Wells

I think we put out the Keezy chant at one point as well. I'm not sure why, but we were putting out Keezy, Keezy.

0

519.676 - 533.592 Manaia Stewart

I'm sure why. It's like the American government dropping bricks off at riots. He instigated it. Oh, probably. I reckon he does it. I reckon he instigates it. And then he goes, oh, you guys.

0

533.612 - 537.116

So what was the biggest dance floor hit of the night?

0

538.098 - 565.522 Jeremy Wells

What was the peak? Probably anything that I wasn't singing, basically. Minaya's Angels was a real highlight. Bonnie Jansen won news as Valerie. The pre-mentioned was fantastic. Look, I don't mean to throw aspersions, but... The Duchess asked us for some Taylor Swift, and we were like, oh, man. And at that point, we were like, oh, fuck. That doesn't feel right. I don't really care.

565.882 - 580.297 Jeremy Wells

And then we were like, I could pull out Shake It Off. And you know sometimes when people go, I'm going to karaoke the shit out of this. Yeah, yeah. And they get 10 seconds into it and go, oh, what have I done? What have I done? I actually don't know the song that well. Well, it was too high for her. Yeah, it was.

580.437 - 585.462

It was too high. I don't think there isn't much. I think most things are too high for the Duchess.

585.712 - 609.507 Jeremy Wells

I can't remember what the other song that she did was. Oh, she did two? Oh, I think she did maybe four or five. Did she actually? What was she doing? There was a few early. Yeah. And then there was a couple later on. She was very insistent. Yeah. Oh, God. And at one point when Makoni and Lane walked in, I busted out a bit of Lovers in the Air, but with Manas in the Air.

609.867 - 609.967

Yeah.

Chapter 5: What karaoke highlights occurred during the night?

869.925 - 877.036 Manaia Stewart

I don't know. I feel like it's weird. Sometimes you've got to – we're, again, the only people in this bar, too. No one's out at the moment. Nah.

0

877.457 - 879.019

This is also this time of year.

0

879.387 - 880.148 Manaia Stewart

Yeah, I suppose.

0

880.168 - 884.354

Beginning of winter. That's why dry July is such a punish for hospo people.

0

885.036 - 885.176 Manaia Stewart

Yeah.

885.196 - 892.767

Because it's already the worst month of the year for hospo. Yeah. And then add dry July into that, and it's just another 10% down.

892.988 - 908.503 Manaia Stewart

And that's where beer and pie July came from. So we went from there to another bar around the corner, although – There were two bars, like, adjacent, so you could walk in one door and you'd be in one bar, walk in the other and you'd be in the other bar, but you could walk between the two of them.

908.963 - 933.536 Manaia Stewart

We walked into the wrong one, sat down waiting for some other people to show up, and we just ended up at, like, some jazz bar. Oh. There was, like, a whole, yeah. Classy. Yeah, and there were people just sitting around, like, genuinely appreciating the music. Oh. And by that point, I had custody of the Duchess. And so, yeah. Oh, no. And so the Duchess and I bowl into it. Oh, no.

933.556 - 954.336 Manaia Stewart

The Duchess and I bowl into a jazz recital. Oh, my God. And we're like, oh, shit. And I, at least at this stage, had the presence of mind to be like, right, we're going to second ourselves to the back here. There was like a little sort of seating area down the back that was vaguely separate from everywhere else. And I was like, we're just going to go sit down here because what we don't need.
