The Hauraki Breakfast, thanks to Bunnings Trade. Build big rewards with new PowerPass Pro Rewards by Bunnings.
It is indeed a tragic day in New Zealand's history. The Hauraki Breakfast with Gerian Manoa.
Good morning, welcome along to the Hauraki Breakfast Wednesday the 5th of August 2026. My name's Jeremy Wells, this is Manai Stewart. I have already had my first weather related chat for the morning, walking across the road from the car park where we park. I said, Jesus, she said, Jesus, cold this morning is it? I said, the cold's not the issue to me, it's too early. That's my issue, can we make this a little bit later? We had the Pie Awards last night, which are always a doozy of an event. I'm too old for a Tuesday. I'm too old for a Tuesday out, you know, on a school night. I mean, that's the rest of my week bugger, isn't it, really? Well, probably, yeah. Now I'm not going to the gym, not doing anything.
What time do you get home? Ooh, would it have been midnight, maybe? Oh. I think we went to another bar afterwards. Well, there you go. It's stupid. And I knew it was at the time. There you go. I knew it was at the time, but I had the Holy Ghost within me, and I'm paying for it this morning. Well, this is the thing. I think later on in life, you'll be old enough to make better decisions later on. Well, I hope so. Did you see me going home at 22 minutes past 11? Is that what time you went home? 22 past 11 with a lovely man from Tajikistan in an Uber. First person I've ever met from Tajikistan. Can't say I've met one. I said, what happens in Tajikistan? He said, sweet Eiffel, that's why I'm here. Yeah. No Ubers, that's why I'm in here.
Oh, so you went home at 11.22? 11.22. Oh, okay, so I was out for 15 more minutes than you. Oh, were you? Yeah. And I'm feeling every one of those 15 minutes this morning. 15 minutes and 15 more export ultras. Yeah, I was talking to one person at the bar, I was just like, so what, you're on air at 6 in the morning? Oh, jeez, I'll have to tune in. I was like, don't. Welcome along. Last night on the news, lots of weather-related news going on, wasn't there? They love it. I feel like it's weather events and shark attacks. Those are the two things that news outlets absolutely love. Cold snap, I don't think it's hit. Has it hit the North Island yet? It wasn't that cold this morning, was it? It's just on the way up now, I think.
So today... Is it on the Inter-Islander? Yeah, it basically is. I'm all the way from the south. It takes a while to get up here, that cold air. But we're not going to get the snow and the sleet and all of that crap up here. Did I see snow in Wellington yesterday?
Yep.
Snow to sea level. For like 10 minutes. I've always said Wellington is a South Island town. You can't trick me with that one. That is a South Island city if ever I've seen one. I lived there for a winter, and it's brutal.
You're not wrong.
The only thing is Wellington, the one positive I would say about Wellington's weather, and look, I think even everybody, even in Wellington, can agree that it's arguably the worst weather in the world. Yeah, it's the only place I've been rained on so hard that it seeped through my puffer jacket, through the seams of my puffer jacket, and I got drenched. Because the... The thing about the Wellington weather is that, you know, South Island Christchurch, for example, gets beautiful, clear, crisp winter skies. Yeah, they're beautiful. And in the summer, it's warm, you know, you get the nor'wester. Bloody Easterly's annoying, but still, you get the nor'wester and it can be beautiful weather in Christchurch.
But then you get that drizzly kind of southerly rain that comes with the rain. And it's kind of nothing. Yeah. And that'll settle in all day too. Yeah. It's horrible kind of rain. Yeah. And it's cold and damp and rubbish.
Racist.
A little bit racist. Wellington. Yet the one positive is you don't get frosts, really. You know, that's the one thing. It doesn't generally get – you don't get cold, crisp kind of – Nah. Up the carpenter you will.
Yeah, that's true.
