Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The Hauraki Breakfast gets set for winter with Budding's Charity.
The Hauraki Breakfast with Gerry and Minaya.
Good morning, welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast. It's the 3rd of June and it's a Wednesday and the year is 2026. My name's Jeremy Wells, this has been iStewart. I've just been scrolling through the doc here. First of all, can I just say congratulations to everyone, it's Wednesday already. And what usually feels like a Tuesday isn't. We don't have to deal with Tuesday.
This is absolutely tremendous. Happy hump day. I feel like the week's just started. I was just scrolling through the doc and at the top, and it has been at the top, I would say almost for six months now. It's something we probably need to delve into at some point. Where in the world is Sarah Ulmer? I've been looking at that for the last, what, six months?
Yeah, same here.
And I've been going, why does it say where in the world is Sarah Ulmer, and why haven't we worked that out by now? You know what it is? Who asked the question? No one's leading it. It came off the back of where in the world is Tui Palau Evans Charlton? Yes. And then we were just sitting around and someone else goes, where's Sarah Ulmer?
So yeah, I don't know, we probably won't solve that today, but I just wanted to address it. Yeah, can I write also in that segment, where is Jim Hickey? Oh, that's great. Where is Jim Hickey? I know what happened. We did Where in the World is Twipalaw Evan Charlton. Then we were going to do Where in the World is Murray Mextead? And he ghosted me. And then the segment died. Oh.
Mext just ghosted me. Okay. Well, can we find out where Jim Hickey is? Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Chapter 2: Where is Murray Mexted now?
Did you type it in? Yep. There it is. Actually, put Mextead back on there. Yeah, okay. Put Mext. Surely someone can find Murray Mextead. Is that our mission this morning? Don't you find Murray Mextead, please? Thank you. Who doesn't know who Murray Mexted is? Do you know who Murray Mexted is?
Nah.
Do you know who Sarah Ulmer is? Jim Hickey?
No. No.
Kahnberger. Well. No. No. That's not going to help. Okay. Have you heard of Jeremy Wells? We've got to find Murray Mexted this morning. Surely that's our mission. This morning? Okay. This morning. Jerry and Mania. The Hodaki Breakfast. What's going on? I'll tell you what's going on. We're going to find Murray Mexted this morning. And, I mean, who doesn't want to find Murray Mexted?
Look, does Murray Mexted want to be found? I guess would be the other issue. Because I think he's stepped away from a life in the public eye to enjoy his retirement. But if someone knows where he is, get around there and wake him up, would you? Who is Murray Mexted? Murray Mexted played 30 tests for the All Blacks, 30-odd tests, number eight. One of the most handsome.
All Blacks of all time, at the time. The word dashing gets thrown around a bit. A lot of people called him the Magnum P.I. of the All Blacks in the early 80s. Bit of Tom Selleck about him. He ended up marrying Lorraine Downs. This is for you, Zoe. Lorraine Downs, Miss New Zealand, Miss Universe 1983. She was the only Miss Universe we've ever had in New Zealand. Amber Peebles?
Is she going to run? She was never Miss Universe. She was Miss New Zealand. She went to Miss Universe. Oh, right. But she didn't win Miss Universe. It's not easy winning Miss Universe. It's not easy, man. Also arrogant that we're running Miss Universe. I know. This is the thing. The best looking woman in the universe. Galaxy Shore. Universe?
I don't know, man. It's a big place.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Murray Mexted in New Zealand rugby?
Or were they? And then a commentator of note on Sky Sport, on the rugby. Used to say things that were a little bit incriminating. Oh, Murray Mexted was. Yeah, he knew the game though, Mexted. How did he know the game? I believe, was he one of the commentators on the PlayStation games? I believe he was the commentator Murray Mexted. Was he? Yeah, I think so.
Not Jonah Lomu, but the later Rugby 08 and 05 and that. Was he really? I think he was. I always enjoyed his commentary. I thought him and Nisbo had great chemistry. Yeah, and I remember falling asleep on my grandparents' couch as a kid listening to them. There's something about it. Whenever I hear him speak, I just start drifting off. I feel so comfortable and relaxed and informed.
And people have been texting us on 3483 because we're trying to track Murray Mextead down. Someone said, Murray Mextead, believe he lives behind Omanu Surf Club in Mount Maunganui. Well, if he could get down there and bang on his door... Get them up. And someone else sent through www. Is anyone said www in 2026? You don't need to say that at all. I don't think I have it.
No.
Did you say HTTPS? Yeah. Someone texted through and said HTTPS colon forward slash forward slash mixeded.co.nz forward slash. You forgot the www's. God damn it. How dare you. HTTPS colon forward slash forward slash www.mixted.co.nz forward slash. And by the way, www means www.
Which is the World Wide Web. And HTTPS is the Hypertext Translation Protocol.
What do the slashes mean?
That's a no.
That's a no. And why not a backslash? Anyway, if you go to that aforementioned website, it's Mexted Motors, where they have a run-out deal on the Kia Sorento at the moment. Now, I don't know if that is Murray... In the Mexteds, or if it's a different branch of the Mexted family?

Chapter 4: Who are the guests joining the show today?
Will it be voiced by Murray Mexted? Haven't checked. The future of driving has arrived at Mexted Motors. Live in Kia. Introducing the amazing Evie. You can go. That was interesting. That was. Good research. So we're learning some things already about Murray Mexted this morning, where he may be. There's some text coming in. He might be in the Mount. Yes. He's been sighted there.
I know he likes surfing. Right. I know that about Murray. I know he keeps himself in good nick.
Yeah.
Although the body at 72, you'd think, and all of those tests that he played for the All Blacks. Yeah. I think 38, or maybe 38 games. Yeah. 34 consecutive tests from 79 to 85. Now that's impressive. Yeah. He was a hard man. Yeah, hard bastard. And that takes a toll at the other end, I think. He lives at The Sands in Takapunani. What's this text there?
I found a review on Mexted Motors just bought a second hand car through Mark M at Mexted that's from Carl Wong so I don't think that's Murray unless his brother's name's Mark I don't know look it is 6.14 in the morning I don't know that many people Murray's age would be up at this time no they're all up what are you talking about they've been up since 5.30 we'll keep your ears to the ground where's Murray Mexted
We're searching this morning for Murray Maxted. Desperately seeking Murray. Former All Black and rugby commentator. I don't know why. That's not spoken. Why are we? Hey? Oh, no, I was just reading through the doc this morning. At the top of the doc, we had written, where in the world is Sarah Ulmer? And that's because off the back of Tupelo Evans Charlton, who we did find.
I like the way you put an S in there, Evans. Yeah, there's two of them. And we found both of them. And then the next on the list was Murray Mexted, but he blanked. He ghosted Ruda. And then Ruda decided, well, that's at the end of it, which is interesting because his current wife also ghosted him when they first met. Yeah, he didn't give up there, did he? That was the wrong number.
It's interesting you've given up on Mexted. I mean, he's not the first person to ghost Ruda in recent times. No. On this very show. No. You've got a bit of a... I don't know what it is, but yeah. I'm too keen.
That's my problem. Yeah, yeah.

Chapter 5: What updates do we have on Murray Mexted's whereabouts?
Oh, and then you get to pay for it afterwards. So do you got to travel? Like, if you hook up with someone from Australia, you've got to go over to the outback or something? Yeah, you'd probably sit a little bit closer for starters. But it is hard if you... I mean, because a lot of farmers don't leave the farm for, you know, months on end. And where are you supposed to come across someone?
Excuse me. Where are you supposed to meet someone in your local community? The other thing is, if you live in a small community, you know them all already, you know what I mean? Yeah. And the more you... Went to school with them or something. How does that work? Is there anything like that for the mining community over in Australia, Manaya, that you have been a part of?
Yeah, it's much more direct in the mining community. It's an exchange of money in return for services, and you can find them in the websites there. Ron joins us on the line. Good morning, Ron. Have you got an update on Murray Mextead? Morning, gentlemen. I just thought I'd help with the search. He's not in Palmerston North.
In fact, I don't know if there's many celebrities that reside in Palmerston North, but I just thought I'd exclude that from your search. Yeah, thank you, Ron. Okay, so you've searched far and wide. You can confirm Murray Maxted's not in Parmy? Are you sure? Yeah, I just know that there's no celebrities that live here, to be fair.
No, I like what you're doing there, Ron, actually, because if we just go, okay, Palmerston North. I know that he did run the Rugby Academy there for a while. Is that right, Ron? Well, we do have the museum here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think I've ever been, to be fair. But, yeah, there's the Rugby Museum here in Papson. I'll just shout out to Parmy.
Are you willing to exclude the wider Manawatu region, Ron? I don't know if my feel has reached that far. Look, we could do a sort of grey yes and say yeah.
Okay.
I mean, I would say, yeah, I'd be willing to extend it west of the Tararoas, but I don't know. I'm not sure about anything that's on the east of those. The Hora Whenua Kapiti region? Yeah, and then I think you're looking over more into the Wairarapa. I'm not sure whether he's there or not. I wouldn't be surprised if he did own a little farm in the Wairarapa, Murray.
Grey Town is, you know, pretty inviting. Charging ahead, yeah, it is. All right, thank you very much, Ron. Everything's a data point. Everything is a data point. So we're going to cross the... Well, I think we're going to cross the wider Manawatu off, aren't we? Yeah, I think so. I think we can do that. Does he visit there? That's the question. I'd say he would visit every now and then.

Chapter 6: How did Murray Mexted's career influence rugby commentary?
And when you go into the overseas, particularly in places, I think Japan does a good job of this, and in Europe, they all walk on the right. If you're on the footpath, you walk on the right. Same side as you drive. Same side as you drive. Yeah. Japan does an interesting one where they have cyclists on the footpath too. Oh, okay. And the cyclist's job is to avoid the pedestrians. Yeah, right.
And the pedestrian's job is to avoid the cyclists. Yep. Very respectful. Here in New Zealand, we're just like wherever the hell you want to walk. And so there's a lot of like...
Sorry.
Which way are you going? That one really annoys me. Yeah, it's a struggle. The problem is there's not enough pedestrians in New Zealand for it to be an issue. Yeah, that's a good point. You'd sometimes go overseas.
I remember once being over in the UK at Christmastime, and such was the crazy amount of, in the middle of London, and the foot traffic was so intense with Christmas shopping that you actually had to stay on the left. It was on the left. Yeah. And as a New Zealander, I wasn't used to that. No, you used to walk all over the house.
I was like swimming down a river, but there were animal carcasses coming at you the whole time. But yeah, everyone sticks to their lane in that situation because you have to, otherwise you won't move. Yeah, not as big an issue here. So as we said, Ruth has been on this walkway that's opened up around the corner from me. I've noticed a thing that's happening that's driving me insane.
I'm probably the only person. This is probably an unrelatable chat. But when you're walking along and someone's in front of you, they're walking in the same direction as you, and then they stop for whatever reason. In this instance, it was a woman pushing a pram. There were three people, I think a couple, their two kids, and then one of their mothers. So three generations of family.
Beautiful sight. They were walking along, and then for whatever reason, they stopped to adjust the baby or something. Then they turn around and they see that I'm catching up to them. They freak out and then they start walking again. And now we're all just walking together. So it's me, mum, dad, the kids, Nana. Right. Well, were they trying to avoid a nose to tail? Yes, I think they were.
So they were worried that your momentum was going to keep going. So they looked up, they saw me, got spooked and just started walking. Now I'm in the herd with them, and just all five of us are walking together.

Mike has just texted in, or Gramps as he's known, hey, lads, please may I join your lotto syndicate to I'm sick of being poor. Love from Gramps. Yeah. Okay. Sweet. Chuck Gramps in there as well. Yep. Gramps, you're in. All right. Is that our syndicate? That's our syndicate. Are we syndicated up?
Did someone write that down? Yeah, I think so. Are we in the syndicate as well? Are we splitting it nine ways with us three and Zoe, or is it just those five people? Oh, mate, we're in the syndicate. Okay, all right. We're syndicated. Hey, congratulations to everyone who's just made millions of dollars this morning on the Hodaki Breakfast.
Here on the text machine 3483, someone has texted and said that you should rename this segment It's a Shamozzle rather than It's Academic. Well, let's go to line three then. Good morning. Hodaki, who are we speaking to? Morning, I'm Sinead. Sinead, welcome to It's a Schmozzle. Okay. I'm not actually fully sure, so... What's that, sorry? You're not sure how it works? No. Oh, good.
Neither is Gerry. Oh, hey, hey, hey, Manai. All that will happen is Sinead will ask you five questions. You've just got to get three correct. You've got 45 seconds.
And if you get those three questions correct, then your school, which you're going to tell us what school you went to in a moment, your high school, will end up on the much vaunted Roll of Honour for its academic alongside these establishments.
So, Sinead, did you hear your school there? No, I think the only school I heard was manually, maybe. Okay. What school did you go to? What high school?
Papanoi High School in Christchurch. Papanoi High School. Okay. No, he's not on there. No, no. Any famous people come out of that school, Sinead? Um, no, not that I know of. Not yet. Yeah. But soon to be Sinead. I'm on my way. You are well on your way. All right. All you need to do is answer three questions correctly. You ready to go? Yeah. Question one for Sinead from Papanui High.
Who is the oldest surviving member of the Beatles? Oh, God. Um, John Lennon. Is he even from the Beatles? No, he's not. Surviving Ringo Starr. Who captained the All Blacks when they won the 2015 Rugby World Cup? Um... Richie McCaw. Yes. Who hosted the New Zealand version of Wheel of Fortune in the early 1990s? Who hosted it? Yeah. Um... Try for YPP. It's for Leishman.
Who had the hit 1997 song Getting Jiggy With It? Getting Jiggy With It? Oh. No, I don't know. Will Smith. Finally, which prominent statesman features on the New Zealand $50 note? What? Prominent what, sorry? Ringo Starr was the oldest member. Phil Leishman, Will Smith. Unfortunately, you were unsuccessful this time around, Sinead. You won't be going on to its academic role of honour.

Chapter 8: How does Devon Conway prepare for international matches?
And she goes, no, I think there has been a mistake there. This is a lot. But I'm just kind of thinking. Let's put an end to this. I think we need to put an end to these texts because they have been going on now for three years. You don't deserve this, man. Nah. Well, this is the thing. Should we call the care vets? Should we call the team at care vets? I think we're going to have to.
Do I go by the name of Stephens? Hi there, it's Stephen here. I was just ringing to let you know that Meg is not my animal. Oh, you got a reminder? Yes, I've got a reminder for Meg's annual health check and vaccination. Oh, okay, let me check. What's What's the animal? How do you spell the name? M-E-G, Meg. And my name's Stephen. What's your surname? I'm not sure.
Do you have an account with us at all? I'm not sure. I've been told to pay an account a couple of times, but I don't have an animal called Meg. Oh, do you have any other animals just by any chance? I do. I've got a dog called Yoko. Yoko? Yeah, Yoko. But Yoko doesn't go to your vets. Oh, okay. But what's your surname, just in case, just to see if it's linked to you? Well, no, I don't.
It's just coming through. Hi, Steve. The link said, hi, Stephen. A friendly reminder to let you know that Meg is due for an annual health check and vaccination on the 5th of the 6th, 2026. please call the team to discuss. And I was just like, well, I don't have... A, my name's not Stephen, and B, I don't have an animal called Meg. I don't even know if Meg is a dog or a cat or a guinea pig.
Are you getting that on text message? Yeah. Okay, can I get your phone number so I can see why you're getting that? Yeah, sure. Yep. 021... 021? Yep. Yep. 6... We'll do that off air. We've worked out where Murray Mixted isn't yet, Minaya. Oh, we've worked out a few places Murray Mixted isn't. Text through on an adjacent note from Wayne Brown. What? Yeah. Auckland Mayor. Wayne Brown.
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown. Text reads, why are there so many road curtains? Nah. It just says, bit of an early lame claim to fame, but back in the day, probably 1986, the All Blacks, probably the Cavaliers, Murray Mexted and the All Blacks forwards were doing line-out practice while I was playing cricket at Steel Park in Hamilton on Saturday morning.
I love Steel Park.
I had no idea, but my father decided it would be a great character-building exercise, so he gave me a pen and paper and sent me over to basically interrupt the practice. I asked next head for an autograph. He told me to wait. Then he finished the line-out, came over to me, had a chat, signed his autograph. A true legend and a gentleman.
The autograph sat on the family mantelpiece in the lounge for years. Love, Wayne. Those are the days when you could interrupt line-out practice for an autograph. I did that down at a park in Dunnets where the Crusaders were practicing. And for some reason, Mark Hammett was my favorite player. And I walked past untold Crusaders legends just to get his signature.
