You know what Chemist Warehouse would like to bring to your attention? The fact that they sell a lot of sports nutrition.

9.022 - 10.505 Unknown

Yeah, they do. For athletes.

0

10.525 - 19.797 Matua Mark

For real athletes. But I want to talk about something that I don't know if it even comes under the umbrella of sports nutrition. I take a teaspoon a day. Oh, show me your honey.

0

19.937 - 21.66 Unknown

That's about $10 a teaspoon.

22.16 - 36.361 Matua Mark

It's good, though. Liquid gold. Yeah, literally liquid gold, Manuka honey, MGO 400, 13 plus UMF. I have no idea what those numbers mean, but apparently it's super good for you. Tasty as well. Good natural sugars. It's real rich, eh?

Chapter 2: How do Jordan and Matua Marc play 'Guess The...'?

36.381 - 43.691 Matua Mark

Yeah. I like it. Manuka health, New Zealand Manuka honey, available at Chemist Warehouse, who are proud sponsors of The Morning Shift.

Chapter 5: What bad news do the hosts need to share?

87.413 - 106.92 Unknown

And that you can be proud about. What's on the show for us today? Men's Den is back in there. Shout out to Spades. Happy mates. Be better, mates. Matua, Mark, also, we're going over there, are we?

173.251 - 190.823 Matua Mark

Yeah, we are. People think we've been ducking and diving comments after a couple of weeks, actually. We haven't been able to get to it. Only because, of course, we have our Foot Locker Friday. And there's been a whole lot of stuff on. And we have been diving a few comments left, right, and center when it comes to our Spotify comments. But we will face them all later on in the show today.

190.803 - 196.674 Unknown

We want to smoke. We want to smoke. We actually don't. Mark, what's going on?

Chapter 6: What are the hosts' thoughts on the importance of home?

251.035 - 254.841 Unknown

And what do you do? Get your little Googler. That's not true. That's not never going to happen.

0

254.861 - 262.052 Matua Mark

Don't you dare say that. I have no idea where he went with that. But I was just saying, last time I heard from you, it was you didn't quite enjoy it.

0

263.838 - 278.493 Unknown

You thought... Oh my gosh, I just had a mind blank. I was talking about Project Bluebeam. You've been a... Sorry. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What? What is that? Sorry, sorry. Blowback? No, anyway, that's the alien invasion they're going to fake. You're talking about the movie with Ryan Gosling.

0

278.573 - 298.865 Matua Mark

I'm talking about Project Hail Mary. I am so sorry. Yes, talk to me. I'm so sorry. Because you've seen it, right? I've seen it. I loved it. Yeah, I did. See? And that's where I have to talk. I have to talk now because Jordan was like... What? What? What did you not like about Project... And if anyone has seen it, I think... Ryan Gosling's incredible.

0

298.885 - 316.147 Matua Mark

Ryan Gosling, give him whatever awards you can get for doing a movie these days. Give him all of them. Such a beautiful film. Such a great escapism. Such a humanity and aliens coming together moment. Kind of gives you E.T. vibes. There was a real warmth to it that I needed in my life.

316.268 - 335.914 Unknown

I liked it. I just thought the last third... of the movie was just like yeah you've got to find an end like it deviates from the book yeah yeah there's a book there's a oh yes yeah i don't even know that yeah i don't know if i like i don't know if i like the aesthetic of the extraterrestrial

335.894 - 364.483 Matua Mark

right and uh and you know just how the end finished like oh man broken class like you know yeah yeah i think um so i do that thing i don't know how many other people do that when you're watching a film no you don't you start you start watching and then you're like okay i'm i'm into this so then you start researching during a quieter patch of who the actors are kind of where it's come from you don't do that who's a different guy that's terrible you don't do that you're like researching the movie while watching while watching it because how far do you research do you know the ending

Chapter 7: How do the hosts approach the topic of mental health and family?

364.463 - 383.082 Matua Mark

I know some people that will go and see if it's worth watching to the end. No, no, no, no. Cast only, generally what other films they've made and kind of where it's generated from the storyline. And then at the very, very end, I'll go and watch some kind of like reviewers who talk about the ending and why it went that way and blah, blah, blah. And just to educate myself on it.

0

383.242 - 394.453 Matua Mark

And yeah, they deviated massively from the book, apparently. Just so exactly what you said, Jordan. So they keep trying to find some closure and there was a bit of this, bit of that. Like you never actually knew in the book

0

394.433 - 410.839 Unknown

that i shouldn't go too much further into this because it's a bit of a it's a good it's a good move you know what i thought it could have been great great can you tell us because heaps of us aren't going to watch so just skip it don't do that if you want to watch it skip warning warning warning warning because i'm not going to watch it but i'd like to hear about warning

0

411.916 - 427.492 Matua Mark

Okay, Mark, go. Okay, so you know the part where the stuff that they needed to save planet Earth, the bits, and they fire them back in little tubes and then he takes off to go help the alien? Yeah, that doesn't, you don't know whether it actually finds its way back to Earth.

0

427.512 - 429.094 Unknown

Yeah, it would have been way better like that.

429.154 - 437.282 Matua Mark

It would have been way better like that. And you don't actually, he doesn't, you don't actually know if he finds the ship and stuff and gets back into the ship and helps the alien.

437.262 - 440.068 Unknown

See, honestly, that's the gut punch I needed.

440.448 - 443.034 Matua Mark

See? So the book has stayed true to it.

443.054 - 456.3 Unknown

Bro, when he healed and woke back up, I was like, nah. I chased it. I was like, nah, you chased it. You did that human thing. You did that. They're not going to like it, the testing and all that. No, that would have left a hole in my heart.

Chapter 8: What are the plans for the future of the podcast?

561.423 - 573.145 Matua Mark

You didn't let any of us guess. It is April 29th today. That is 119 days deep in there. 246 left to get her dead. Get her dead. It is International Dance Day today. Oh, let's dance. Hey, hey. Let's shout.

0

573.485 - 591.456 Unknown

Shake your butt and out to the ground. Who's the greatest dancer of all time? Why don't you do that? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah, go greatest dancer of all time. It wouldn't be a celebrity. That's where I've kind of... So that's where it goes flat because you're like, well, I don't know them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's the greatest celebrity dancer of all time?

0

594.942 - 616.712 Unknown

You can't answer the question, right? It's like, it's the goat conversation. There's only goat errors. Mount Rushmore. James Brown gave a blueprint to Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson... went and created his own blueprint. And then Chris Brown and obviously the likes of Usher took that blueprint. So it's like, yeah. The torch has been passed along the way. I would personally say MJ.

0

618.735 - 628.772 Unknown

I don't know enough about dancing, but I don't feel anyone's gonna be like, you're wrong. But Chris Brown would be a better mover. He can flip, he can crank, he can freestyle, he can do karate.

0

628.792 - 629.354 Matua Mark

He can do more.

630.136 - 630.738 Unknown

You know what I mean?

631.119 - 638.718 Matua Mark

I wanted you to come out with something like BB Willie J. He danced in the streets, brought the cardboard out first. Like that kind of guy.

638.979 - 641.385 Unknown

What's that, Beach Street or something?

641.405 - 641.706

It's crazy.
