Speaker 1: member of Team Live Morning Morning Lake. Last time we spoke,

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: you were somewhere near Auckland. How far have you got now?

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: Oh, we made it into Masterton last night, so we

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: had a bit of a long day. You'd saved down

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: for fielding. But yeah, now we've got the end Marsden

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: after gotten about six o'clock last night. So now we're

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: making good progress at the stage.

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: So you've made the way through the gats of the

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: North Island, which is a big shift. Share with us

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: some of the highlights.

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: She used to know. It's pretty cool going through the

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 2: new road through the Mental two Gorge, the.

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: One that takes you to where the cheesecakes used to be.

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Not part you to it.

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 2: We end up with fire tour. But yeah, over overheld

18
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: Woodville and.

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: That's the one.

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, magnificent facility, great sideways and yeah, man, they've done

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: a great job on it.

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Cost almost a billion dollars.

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't mention that it was a really good

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 2: tike away out so that.

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Was a paved track, but I imagine that you've also

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: struck some off road stuff, such as into the bridge

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: to nowhere. Did that and the jet boat live up

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: to expectation?

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah we we we we chicking it out of it there.

30
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: Instead of instead of biking over from Blue Ducks take

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: a poking too over the bridge, you know, we took

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: the jet boat right down and so we had a

33
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: hit a couple of hours on a jet boat. That

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: was that was pretty cool. Gon the Wogan belly. See,

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: the track was a bit was a bit wet and

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: a bit slippery and a bit nigi And yeah we're

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: kicking it out there.

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: But that's all right. Well that's understandable considering that last

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: time we caught up we shared the gutting news that

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Matt Chrissy had taken a fall and had to pull

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the ride. So I can

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: understand if you're a bit gun shy. There's been no

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: more wounded warriors now.

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: We've got by. But yeah, we are getting a bit

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: risk of earth. Yeah yeah, no, no, it's good though,

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: So it's all all to be healthy.

47
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Have you got settled up next to you this morning?

48
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: I've got Richard Andrews here.

49
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Hello, Richard, Is this your first ride. Sorry, is this

50
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: your first ride?

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 3: No, we've been playing this game for a little while now,

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: the cafe, peddlers, et cetera. So yeah, we've been out

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 3: and about, but this is this is probably the first

54
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: real serious job where it's gone on day on the

55
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 3: after day after day, which has been a test for

56
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: the old rare end to be fair, but it's everyone's

57
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: going to plan as we as we speak.

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: Today, starting to feel the burn. How are you managing

59
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: you know that that workload and that fatigue in particular.

60
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think everyone has the good and bad days.

61
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: Yes day before yesterday, I had a real bad day

62
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: on a real bad track on a Yeah, everything's combined

63
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: to be a rubbish day, but I survived and got

64
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: there one hundred and twenty k's much to the help

65
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: of Brian Alie who dragged me along from tod. We

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: end up fielding so but nothing a bear at the

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: end of the day doesn't fix it.

68
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: So that's a great motivator. But I imagine that the

69
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: camaraderie and you know, being with the fellas, that really

70
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: helps too.

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's the big thing. It's one we're

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: doing for the cause for a bit of fun to

73
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 3: do it ride, but it's a group of guys, and yeah,

74
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: it was sad to lose Mark. He had to chat

75
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: to him last night. Briefly is Budge He's yeah, a

76
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: bunch of budgies. He's he's been down the farm doing

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: jobs and getting the right home. Yep. So he's out

78
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: in the belt. So yeah, he's normal, cheeky self and

79
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: tell of a good entertainment. To be fair, it's just

80
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: a shame he's not with us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but

81
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: it's been a damn good it's been damn good experience

82
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: to be feared thus far, and we've sort of just

83
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: just a bit. At that point, we can tick that

84
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: second box, which we get to the fairy in one piece.

85
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: When are you jumping on the faery twenty fifth at

86
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,320

93
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: been smashing their way up the South Island. What do

94
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: you expect to bump into them?

95
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are absolute machines. We caught up with them

96
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: last night before last year passed. Yeah in fielding, Yeah no,

97
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,720

103
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: up the four muscle boys and brought them back for dinner.

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 3: So we caught up with them there and which that

105
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: was really good to catch up with them that night.

106
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: But we also passed in Appidy. We stopped at a

107
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: bar and Appidy wasn't a hell of a lot of

108
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: alcohol consumed, but there was a lot of food eating.

109
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: But we stopped there and met them on the way

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: through as we were changing directions on on route, so

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: it was really good to catch up with them. It

112
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: sort of made it more like a team environment team.

113
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: Then once we've done that.

114
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: Oh nat Well, some photos have been shared on the

115
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: socials which we can go and follow super quick Duncan,

116
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: who's been running your socials. But there was that fad

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: that came and went about a week back, you know,

118
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: the AI caricatures. Someone's been putting AI into overdrive, you

119
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: know with some of the funny stuff going up on

120
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: your pages.

121
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the AI that was that was that was

122
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: Mark that

123
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: He'll promiset out there again or what
