1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,599 Speaker 1: Daily bespoke content that you won't find on the radio 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: show The Hurtarki Breakfast Podcast. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 2: Monday. 4 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 1: Eh, yeah, Monday, not only Monday, Monday, the second of 5 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: February twenty twenty sixth night. 6 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 2: Oh no, February. Man, that is terrifying. 7 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the good news is there's only twenty six 8 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: more days of February left, thank god, because who likes February. 9 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: And also on top of that, we're not working one 10 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: of them because of what they call it White Tongue Day. 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: You may have heard of that, Bob Marley's birthday. As 12 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: I've said before, I thought that we actually just got 13 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: the day off for Bob Marley's birthday. 14 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: But no, so good news this week. We've only got 15 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: a four day week. Ye look, not often you have 16 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: the holiday on a Friday. No, so quite good. It's 17 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: kind of like we're already on a Tuesday. Yeah, Tuesday's 18 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: pretty much done for us anyway. Yeah, which is pretty exciting. 19 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: I like the I quite like the Friday. 20 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 3: Well, there's Martriiki is always a Friday. Do they need 21 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: to just start Friday izing instead of Monday izing? 22 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: Well, I think for White Tongue Your Day, you need 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: to have the day off, but I think it should 24 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: be a double bang. You should friday eize it, or 25 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: maybe it should be the world's first holiday where wherever 26 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 2: it falls, you bridge it to the weekend. So I 27 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: say it's on a Wednesday, you get the Monday, Tuesday 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 2: or the Thursday night. That. 29 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've always thought because we obviously got Easter, which 30 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: comes up and we often do holiday check, don't we 31 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: Easter because we're very holiday focused. Easter in April, and 32 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: it moves around. It's all about the moon, which is 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: I only found out about two years ago. 34 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: Third Sunday after the harvest moon. Yeah, or something like that. 35 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how weird is that? But cool? 36 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 2: Actually, well, because they didn't have calendars back in the day, 37 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: so they were just like whatever, whenever the moon's fall 38 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 2: and then fucking a couple of days after that. 39 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Yeah makes sense. Yeah, makes sense. And also I think 40 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: it was a pagan ritual before because it was the 41 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: spring spring in the Northern Hemisphere, so it's the beginning 42 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: of everything starting to get back going in there room 43 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: and get excited because like, yes, hence the fertility thing. Yeah, 44 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: the rabbits and the eggs and all that crew, which 45 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: made sense to me as a kid. I was like, so, 46 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: why what's the eggs got to do with Jesus? 47 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: They are a symbol of the pagan god ishtar, after 48 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: which we get the name Easter. And that's where the 49 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: that's where they come from. 50 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: Fertility. 51 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, got a root. 52 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. 53 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: And so that's where that come Yeah, but you're right, 54 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: because the eggs. 55 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: Don't really Yeah, that one never made sense, but yeah. 56 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: That we don't have strong I feel like ossies make 57 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: a good go of Australia Day, which is the national 58 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: holiday and and Anzac Day and a huge day, massive 59 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: day and day over there, and they got a lot 60 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: of you know, traditions to up and all that kind 61 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: of stuff. Australia Days basically just go and hit the 62 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: ever Living Purse and then listen to Triple Ja and 63 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: complain about a countdown. But then, well we don't really 64 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: have you know what I mean, Like unless you're going 65 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: to White Tonguey on White Tongue Day, then there's not 66 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: really you just sort of take take the day off 67 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: and go. 68 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: I reckon, there needs to be one in March. There 69 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: needs to be an early March when I'd go there 70 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: should be a white tangy should definitely always be a weekend, Yeah, 71 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: like always, because does it really matter? Does it really 72 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: matter that people signed it a treaty on our particular day, 73 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: ages and ages ago, or is it more about celebrating 74 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: the vibe of it? Yeah, And I think that's It's 75 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: the same as Anzac Day. It's like I know that 76 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: it was the day that the ANZACs landed in Gallipoli, 77 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: but like the twenty fifth, like, why are we going 78 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: to go over weekend here? And then if you go, yeah, 79 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: I think there's just nothing in March, which makes no 80 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: sense to metal because March is actually quite a good 81 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: time in New Zealand. It is, so you surely want 82 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: to do another one in March. I feel like Matariki 83 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: is a good thing, like let's celebrate another holiday or 84 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: good But I think that. 85 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: Negli time weird time. That's why you know King's birthday, 86 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: you may you may know it as Queen's birthday weekend. 87 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: That was not. 88 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: It was actually birthday before it was Queen's birthday, and 89 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: it was brought in because that King's birthday was just 90 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: at the wrong time of year, and so they Jeremy 91 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: Wells it and then just moved it to where the 92 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: weather was better in England. There you go, and now 93 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: we as the colonies, we're observing it an awful time 94 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: a year. Yea, Queen's birthday weekend, King's birthday weekend, first 95 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: of June or something. 96 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's early June, first Monday, first Monday of June, 97 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: and it sucks. It sucks. 98 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: No one wants a day off that time. 99 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: But that's our problem. We've got one that moves around, 100 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: the matariki, one that moves around. I feel like there 101 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: was a lost opportunity there because it just arrived that holiday. 102 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: There was never any come on, should we have a 103 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: bit of a discussion around where this holiday should be? 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: And people go, what kind of holiday should we have? 105 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: It just could have got thrust upon everyone. And because 106 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: it was a holiday, no, no one's going to be 107 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: like no, no, yea, not going to look a gift 108 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: horse in the mouth. But at the same time, at 109 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: this point in time, New Zealanders are still trying to 110 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: work out, Okay, how do we celebrate as a firework? Yeah, 111 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: when that would make sense because we're not planting crops. 112 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Nahna na. That's there, And I take take away all 113 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: the political parts around it, because then you get some 114 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: guys are going, oh it's anti this or anty there. 115 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: Don't shut up with all that stuff. That's not the point. 116 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: The point is what is it actually? What is it 117 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: as New Zealand is what is it to us? 118 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: What do we want to be? And if the answer 119 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: is we all just want to hit the purse, then 120 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: that's what it should be. That's what Australians have done. 121 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: They've gone, what do we want? What would our ANZACs 122 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: want us to do on this day? And it's go 123 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: down the pub and hit the ever living purse and 124 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: gamble And that's what they fucking thought for. But we 125 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: in New Zealand we'll be like, no, no, you can't 126 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: do that. You can't do that. That's what they you 127 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: think they like when they're over in the trenches. What 128 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: that picturing when they get home is parking up with 129 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: their mates at a pub and just having a good 130 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: old fashioned these up. 131 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: That's what they're I'll tell you the person a person 132 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: that I can't I just can't. I'm for be friends 133 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: with no matter what. As a person who gets angry 134 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: the fact that we have public holidays occasionally you'll get there. 135 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: I feel like they listen to news yeah and only 136 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: and generally like business owners or something they genuinely believe. 137 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: But they're not. They're not like most business owners don't 138 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: think like this. It's just and they think that it's 139 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: bad for the productivity of the fuck off what it is. 140 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: It's bad for them. It's bad for in particular. It's 141 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: bad because they'll have to pay time and a half 142 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: to someone, They will have to go over rosters and 143 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: you know what, they have a nerdisc and ten and 144 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: a half. 145 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: Come a day at all. 146 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: No, that should just be part of running a business. 147 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: If you can't afford to pay staff over the statutory holidays, 148 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: then you can't afford to stay in business. That's just 149 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 2: what it is. 150 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. If you see them complaining about Boxing Day, I 151 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: mean there's the day after Christmas Day, right, yeah, and 152 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: it's a saturtury holiday. No's ever going o bloody boxing day. 153 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: You know, we don't need boxing out all the day 154 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: after New Year's Damian. If there's ever a day that 155 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: you might go, oh, that's probably a slight holiday, it's 156 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: the second of January one hundred. 157 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: Well, you've never heard anyone complain about that. 158 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Everyone's always on holiday anyway. Yeah, it's a that's a 159 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: that's a kind of a silly one. I'd take that 160 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: one away if I had to. Yeah, and i'd move 161 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: that into March. 162 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: I think we just fuck half of December and January 163 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: off entirely, you know what I mean, just like all 164 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: of this, it's gone. 165 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: Can we can we actually just have a look at 166 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: them and go, why don't we just start to start 167 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: from scratch? Yeah, and just go what we are? The 168 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: ones that we like? What are the ones we don't like? 169 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: What means something?
