S1: The was welcome to Thursday afternoon. Your old mate Shane
S1: Dunk ready to drive you home if you're ready for
S1: a change. There is a whole bunch of jobs up
S1: for grabs, and Antarctica.
S2: Sounds like a pretty chill job to me.
S1: Oh, I see what you did there. It's the worst
S1: dad joke you've ever delivered. And I love it. Benny.
S1: Boys giving you a one fingered wave. He's a big fan, too. 3:20.
S1: If you want to up sticks and move to Antarctica
S1: and have nothing to do but save your cash, we'll
S1: give you the options.
S2: The next 101 on how to get pulled up by
S2: a cop on a pushbike.
S1: But this is on an Australian like one of the
S1: cop TV shows like Highway Patrol or whatever. And the
S1: bloke's a Kiwi and he is awesome. That's your smoko
S1: for your next Audioslave. Show me how to live rock.
S1: Drive on the rock.
S3: Rock drive with Jay and dunk.
S1: Red Hot Chili Peppers, scar tissue, rock drive in the rock.
S1: Before we get to smoke, I just want to acknowledge
S1: a Belgian athlete. Leo. Sorry. Lynn Show has done 11,900
S1: pull ups in 24 hours to get a Guinness World Record.
S2: I don't reckon I could do 11.
S1: Neither.
S3: Smoke. Cheers to my toe training with my toe by industry.
S3: For industry.
S1: It's just about realizing what your potential is and it's
S1: nothing being happy with it. Speaking of potential, maybe you
S1: could partner with my toe and future proof your business
S1: and your team and your industry. You can take smoko
S1: to 3520 500 bucks up for grabs from those legends
S1: tomorrow afternoon. You got to be in to win. Now,
S1: this bloke here has a Kiwi bloke gets pulled over
S1: in Australia. It's on one of their cop shows and
S1: he's just a vibe. He's got a mountain bike that
S1: he's retrofitted a two stroke motor to with a little
S1: petrol tank and stuff. And obviously it's basically a motorbike now. Right.
S1: So then you need to comply with the safety standards
S1: that the Australian police enforce, and he hasn't at all.
S1: In fact, he's using, um, his work boots as the brakes.
S4: This man and his souped up bike have been pulled
S4: over by Senior Constable Shaun Roth and leading Senior Constable
S4: Marcus Owen.
S5: You've got to comply with all the requirements of it
S5: being a motorcycle. That one's okay. This one's not sufficient
S5: braking capacity in order to pull it up. We noticed
S5: when you were when you were coming to a stop
S5: using the old, uh, Barney Rubble. Fred. Flintstones. Yeah, that's
S5: my brake right there. You see that? That's pure brakes
S5: right there. Is this your speedo? Oh, no. No. I
S5: thought it was a Speedo. Yeah. Oh, I can kick
S5: out about, what, 65, 76? This is this is your accelerator.
S5: We've got the clutch right here. You pop the clutch.
S5: That's what makes it goes. That's what kick starts it.
S5: It's like kicking the car in second. You've got your accelerator. Oh,
S5: you got your kill switch right here. It's the, uh,
S5: motorbike accelerator. Cable? Everything you need for a push bike. Hey,
S5: if you want a push bike, come see me.
S6: Wow, that's really loud.
S7: Yeah, thanks. Took the restrictor plate off. Give the Red
S7: Dragon a little more juice. But, uh, let's keep that
S7: on the down low. She's not exactly street legal.
S8: Oh my gosh.
S1: They're not exactly street legal. Did you hear him, though?
S1: Hitting him up. And he's like, yeah, man. 6570 clicks
S1: on this. What? They're trying to book him. He's saying
S1: all the wrong stuff.
S2: In a 50 zone. Yeah.
S1: He's my boots. His brakes. Asking for his brakes. His
S1: rear tires. Completely bald because he's been lightened up. Drifting out.
S2: I like the fact that's just the Kiwi number eight
S2: wired attitude. You know something that's not exactly street legal.
S2: I just was watching these guys that have converted, um,
S2: right on lawnmowers into off road camping tractors. And so
S2: they basically they take the they jack up a lawn mower,
S2: take the cutting blade off underneath it, and they just
S2: drive it off out into the bush and they go,
S2: there's like 20 of them on these jacked up John Deere.
S2: And so it's pretty.
S1: I love it I love it. If you would like
S1: to participate and keep it on the down low, it's
S1: not exactly street legal. What have you built? 3520.
S2: We'll put the spark plugs on the exhaust so I
S2: can blow flames out the ass of my car. And exactly.
S2: Street legal.
S1: Three five. Two zero. The text number, uh. And next
S1: is promise. If you like. My job sucks. I've got
S1: no money. Maybe go to Antarctica for six months. There's
S1: a whole bunch of jobs that have just come up
S1: for grabs. Could be an option for you. The response
S1: in guns N roses on the way. Here's muse, hysteria,
S1: Rock drive.
S3: The Rock drive podcast.
S1: It's the response where do you run to? It is
S1: Rock drive on the Rock with your old mates Shane Dunk.
S1: So if you're sitting here and you'd be like, And
S1: you're thinking to yourself, I cannot do another day at
S1: this cruddy workplace I want out. You may have a
S1: particular set of skills that lines up with one of
S1: these jobs. That's just come up for heading off to Antarctica.
S2: Yeah, this is pretty hotly contested jobs. Only 40 roles
S2: available to basically head to Antarctica and do the summer work.
S2: So they've got the summer period and then the winter period.
S2: So the summer period itself is pretty, pretty gnarly. So
S2: basically they're going from pretty sure it's like September through
S2: to the end of February. And then there's a real
S2: skeleton staff of 13 people that stay on for the
S2: other months.
S1: That'd be so rough being there over winter.
S2: Yeah. Ah, yeah. In the summer period, it's just like
S2: the whole time. And so winter, it's predominantly dark the
S2: whole time.
S1: So you're gonna need to pack a hell of an
S1: eye mask.
S2: Yeah.
S1: Going over summer. You need a.
S2: Guy if you want an eye mask dunk. As an
S2: eye mask guy.
S1: So recently, Believe it or not, I purchased an eye
S1: mask on Temu and it was like a 3D printed one.
S1: It was like the mega eye mask, just the. I've
S1: been using it for about a month and the inside's
S1: come off already, so don't get your eye mask from Temu. Don't.
S1: There's a trick for young players.
S2: I just, you know, when it comes to anything, pretty much.
S2: Don't bother getting anything from Temu.
S1: Well, you see my jet plane the boys are playing with.
S1: Flew that up into the international airspace and gotten a
S1: lot of trouble. So what are the jobs?
S2: Um, you can take on any of the critical roles
S2: that are there, um, and answer the call of being
S2: in a career in Antarctica. So they've got people that
S2: they need field staff, engineers, um, maintenance workers, carpenters, chefs, mechanics, electricians,
S2: medics and technicians to keep Scott base running. Um, so
S2: the scientists can basically keep so there's, there's a workforce
S2: and then there's a scientific team that are there. Um,
S2: and that's what keeps the joint running.
S1: Geez. Imagine being the medic. You could go the whole
S1: time without having to do anything. Yeah, maybe someone's got
S1: a blister or something.
S2: Chances are, chances are you probably will run into a
S2: couple of a couple of issues, no doubt.
S1: Can we set up a keyword, Antarctica and get a
S1: bounce back for all the job listings?
S2: Should we just put ice to make it easier?
S1: Well, I'm relying on people having spellcheck, not punching out
S1: on a Nokia. Click click click click click click.
S2: Yeah, we'll just say ice icy to 3520. And here's
S2: the link where you can check it out. Awesome. Because
S2: it's only a short stint. It's basically you apply for it.
S2: You get picked up at the end of the year,
S2: then you roll through and you come back in Feb.
S1: Can we have a little bit of a wallow next
S1: in the Black Caps and how they went last night
S1: against Sri Lanka?
S2: Absolute masterclass.
S1: Oh man. We'll have a chat about the last four overs.
S1: They went absolutely berserk. It was so good. This is
S1: probably the second longest guns N roses song I believe
S1: we play November rain rock drive on the Rock.
S9: Okay. Let's go.
S10: Drive home.
S3: Drive.
S1: Guns N roses. November. Rain. Rock. Drive. Thursday afternoon. Drunk
S1: driving you home? Uh, hats off to the Black Caps.
S1: Smash Sri Lanka by 61 runs in Colombo. Defending 168
S1: for seven, holding the hosts to just 107 for eight. Um,
S1: Mitchell Santner got 47 off 26 and they actually ended
S1: up getting, uh, 70 off the last four overs.
S2: Full Tonk fist.
S1: Yeah, which is crazy. Um, with the ball. Rachin Ravindra
S1: ripped through Sri Lanka for four for 27. Matt Henry
S1: took two for three off two overs and New Zealand
S1: bowled 17 overs of spin to strangle the chase. So
S1: outstanding nudge from the boys.
S11: First ball of the chase. Oh my goodness. Could they
S11: ask for a better start. Country. Phenomenal. Up up pace
S11: off from Henry. Gone. And straight away. Had to go.
S12: Guy still in the air and stumps are broken.
S11: Gone again? He's just flying it up. Gone up. It's
S11: gone up. Mitchell. Getting in, getting in big hands safely
S11: underneath that river.
S1: It's the sort of cut off, weirdly there at the end.
S1: Is there a better cricket commentator than Dooley?
S2: I love hearing him.
S1: He's so good. Dooley and Smitty is just one of
S1: the most electric combos.
S2: And that was it. That was in Colombo as well,
S2: wasn't it? So that would have been tough for the
S2: Sri Lankans to eat that up.
S1: So the win all but locks in the Black Caps
S1: into the T20 World Cup semi-finals. They now face England
S1: next in Colombo with top spot and the Super Eights
S1: group on the line. So you know that's going to
S1: be a tough ask. But, uh, this seems like they
S1: might have the team that can do it.
S2: We love a short format.
S1: Well yeah I mean it's I mean, the the silverware
S1: has eluded us many times before, but we will wait
S1: with bated breath and, uh, be back in them. Come
S1: that game.
S3: Coming up with the fellas.
S1: Your chance to have Pepsi pour it on for some
S1: Jim Beam homegrown praise. All the deets coming up. In
S1: the meantime, a quick one. What is the name of
S1: the stadium that the NRL games will be played in
S1: this weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada? We'll have the answer next.
S3: Giant dunk.
S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us, welcome on in.
S1: This is Rock drive. We asked this question before the break.
S1: It was a quick one. What is the name of
S1: the stadium that the NRL games will be played in
S1: this weekend in Las Vegas?
S2: Rubber leg in Las Vegas is going to go down
S2: at Allegiant Stadium. Big old bit of kit that one.
S1: 315 Sunday afternoon, first game and second game around about 530. Me,
S1: myself and Jay will be hosting a bit of pod
S1: if you want to climb on in there or jumping
S1: on the, uh, chat group and stuff as well. Uh,
S1: next weekend the Pepsi Pre's could be happening at your
S1: place to get geed up for Jim Beam Homegrown. There's
S1: gigs galore tomorrow live at the domain, Good Charlotte, highly suspect.
S1: Yellow card. You can get amongst tickets on the rock.
S1: Here they are, little one rock. Drive on the rock.
S3: Like the Santa that you can get the link in
S3: the show notes.
S1: It's the white stripes. Blue orchid, the rock with Jay
S1: and Doug coming up shortly with the latest in rock
S1: news and sport. This probably won't be in it, so
S1: I will mention it now. Florida Lady sets the record
S1: for the oldest competitive pool player heading to a Vegas
S1: tournament this weekend at the age of 98. She's going
S1: to be massively disappointed when she bumps into all the Australians.
S1: They're there for the NRL this weekend. Who are these people?
S2: How to level up Vegas? I fill it up with
S2: four Australian League supporting clubs.
S1: We're actually going to be chatting to a good mate. Curb,
S1: friend of the show, does two vlogs podcasts over in Australia. Uh,
S1: he's just landed over there and uh, he's keen to
S1: have a chat on the radio show tomorrow. He'll be
S1: battling over there.
S2: Oh, yeah, he hates the heat. And it is warm
S2: for a big man.
S1: Here to see the job in Antarctica would be.
S2: Perfect for him.
S1: Perfect.
S2: Perfect.
S1: So you'll catch up with cube and see what the
S1: vibes like on the ground are over there now. Uh,
S1: also latest in weather in a couple of moments for you.
S1: And nicknamed ninjas. Returning after four.
S2: And find out who Kelly Slater wrapped the golf club around.
S3: Listen to our other podcast. Not for radio. Wherever you're
S3: listening to this one, just search. Not for radio.
S1: How are Jane Dunk driving you home if you just
S1: joined us? Welcome on in. We're just watching the New
S1: Zealand Golf Open on Sky one. I think it is
S1: at the moment Jay's like, oh there he is. I
S1: was like, who's that? Looked up there? It looked like
S1: some sort of farmer with a big beanie on. Then
S1: Jay's like Kelly Slater. I was like, oh my gosh.
S2: The goat with the glorious George Harper junior as well.
S2: What a magnificent man he is.
S1: Yeah. Um, pretty cool having him in the country. A
S1: reminder you can text podcast to 3520 to hear the
S1: entire morning ramble chat with Kelly Slater. He was on
S1: the show this morning chatting all things World Surf League
S1: and also the New Zealand Open as well.
S2: Before six, the four lads that attempted to cross the
S2: Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat and it went horribly, horribly,
S2: horribly wrong.
S1: How long ago was this?
S2: Um, probably about ten years ago now. Yeah, right. It
S2: is one of the worst things that you'll ever hear.
S2: But they made a documentary about it, and it's well
S2: worth a watch.
S1: And next, some things should not be forgotten. And the
S1: great Dargaville toilet fiasco of 2013 is one of those.
S1: Just when you thought it had been flushed down the drain,
S1: this thing's bubbling back up next. Weezer hash pipe on
S1: the rock.
S3: Like the sound of that? You can get the link
S3: in the show. Notes.
S1: Silverchair anthem for the year 2000. It is Rock drive
S1: and the Rock. I know you've all been waiting to
S1: find out what this is because we're bringing it back
S1: to the top. The great Dargaville toilet fiasco of 2013
S1: at Blue Dargaville Tidbits. It was a nightmare for the
S1: town that weekend. It was actually a whole week, wasn't it,
S1: Benny boy?
S3: It was five days. Yeah. You know, they say you never.
S3: You never have a second chance to make a good
S3: first impression. And boy, did I cock this up.
S1: So you. Why'd you book an Airbnb there?
S3: We didn't. So this was. This was our girlfriend at
S3: the time. Um, her friend's boyfriend's family have, like, a
S3: house there. Like an old sort of villa on a
S3: bit of a farm. Farm area, but a forest, a
S3: nice river. And we thought, oh, a bunch of us
S3: will go up there in our uni break for five
S3: days for a little bit of a getaway. Is he
S3: doing someone else's driving? Just punching tins all the way
S3: up there. So by the time I got to Dargaville,
S3: I was absolutely bursting. So I just go charging into
S3: the house first. Went in as soon as they opened
S3: the door straight into the loo. One toilet. This is
S3: crucial information. I go, I check, I check my like
S3: stubby on the on the cistern, start taking a leak
S3: and then as if in like slow motion, the bottle
S3: starts sliding towards me. It falls. I go to grab it,
S3: I miss and it lands in like the front part
S3: of the toilet. The toilet bowl. It just smashes a
S3: big hole. Just clean out of the front part of
S3: the bowl.
S1: Like just goes straight through the porcelain.
S3: Straight through the porcelain. Just knocks out like a like
S3: a plate size like. And immediately I panic and my
S3: stupid brain goes flush. So I just, I just flushed
S3: immediately and it just floods the bathroom. So now I'm
S3: just standing there in like, toilet water and piss, just going, man,
S3: what do I do? I don't even know this bloke.
S3: Like I have no idea. So I go and tell
S3: my missus to tell his girlfriend to tell him they
S3: come back in. We tried to fix it with tin foil,
S3: which as you as you can imagine, it's not a
S3: particularly watertight substance.
S1: Clearly you can tell you guys haven't finished uni at
S1: this point.
S2: But you had finished what was in the tin foil.
S3: I'd never actually finished uni, but that's a story for
S3: another day.
S1: And then. So the question needs to be asked. Easy
S1: to find a plumber.
S3: No plumbers. Now what we did is I decided to
S3: dig a little slit trench out in the garden for everyone,
S3: found a sawhorse and I jimmied up a beautiful outdoor abode.
S3: I didn't really think about the placement of it though,
S3: because it was. It basically turned the kitchen window and
S3: the deck into a viewing platform for whoever was using
S3: this makeshift trench that I dug. So obviously the girls
S3: weren't very stoked about it and neither were the guys.
S3: And we're like, oh, we'll stick it out. And then
S3: my buddy, um.
S1: How many days before you did a poo?
S3: Well, immediately on the first day.
S1: Panic poo.
S3: Evacuate my mate. I will say we'll call him Charles.
S1: Because that's his name.
S3: He goes, I'm not using this with his viewing platform.
S3: I'm going off into nature. So he goes for a
S3: little bit of a walk into the forest next to
S3: the beach, and he's where he goes. I don't want
S3: to crap on my pants and on my shoes. So
S3: he takes them completely off and he's wearing a real
S3: baggy t shirt and he goes, man, I don't want it.
S3: Like dripping down the back either. So he takes the
S3: t shirt off. Little did he know, there was a
S3: popular walking track.
S1: Through through.
S3: The back of the forest there. So he's just this lanky,
S3: gangly teenage dude, completely naked with his clothes hung in
S3: a tree, just taking a shit off the side of
S3: a popular walking track. I don't know who was more
S3: surprised that international tourists, or Charles, as they come round
S3: the corner and just find him squatting there.
S2: Kicking one out in the bush?
S3: Ah, yeah. So you won't be surprised to know I
S3: was never invited back to that batch.
S1: Well, yeah, that's zero parts surprising. The the real trick
S1: to a nature poo, though, is to hang off the
S1: tree so you have an arm out on the trunk
S1: and lean back. That way you can get it away
S1: from the trousers of your undies. You know you don't
S1: want it, like you say, kicking back underneath.
S2: I do find, though, that it makes your butt cheeks
S2: clench quite a bit when you're leaning back though, so
S2: you just start smacking out brown lasagna sheets just like
S2: a big white bag. White.
S1: Okay, okay.
S3: Started out as a nice broken toilet story. J.
S1: Uh, let's just round this out to everyone, we'll call it. Um,
S1: have you stayed at an Airbnb Booker batch?
S2: Yeah.
S1: And what got ruined?
S3: What have you busted up?
S2: I've got a cracking high heel through a through a
S2: TV after the break for you.
S1: I'll do one better, mate. I'll play some music and
S1: we won't have a break, eh? Jeez, I'm a nice guy.
S1: These guys out on the road again this weekend. Oh, yeah.
S1: You can text us three five, two zero. You can
S1: call us as well. And bonus points as well, if
S1: you can beat Benny boys 20s on the property before
S1: he blew the toilet out. Blind spot. Coming home on
S1: the rock. Every day's a Saturday. This rock drive on
S1: the rock. J's having a good old giggle. Uh, so
S1: Benny Boy managed to drop a beer bottle through, um,
S1: what essentially was an Airbnb, uh, toilet. And then they
S1: were all pooing in a ditch on the front lawn
S1: for the whole week because he buggered the toilet. On
S1: day one. Couldn't get a plumber out to fix it.
S1: So pretty hard to beat. He'd been in the house. 20s.
S2: Yeah.
S1: And he'd done himself a real mischief, and everyone else
S1: had to deal with it. But have you had a
S1: similar sort of situation? Go down a piece of accommodation
S1: that you're renting. You can text us 3520. I don't
S1: know who would want to be an Airbnb landlord or
S1: a landlord.
S2: Yeah. Um, we.
S1: People like Jay floating around.
S2: Yeah. This is probably a little closer to home. We
S2: had a health and wellness weekend where we were predominantly
S2: just having green smoothies, and one of the boys, um,
S2: came tearing around the corner on a kids quad bike
S2: and jumped it over a fire. And we said to him,
S2: we said, wow, where'd you get that from? And he goes,
S2: ash has smashed the door into the garage and found it.
S1: Oh, no. All right. When I was about 22, we
S1: went to our family beach, which is now in Boca. Mhm. Um,
S1: went to there and I had a whole bunch of
S1: my mates come over for New Year's to the beach,
S1: and for whatever reason, it was empty at that time
S1: for that year. And I came out halfway through New
S1: Year's Eve and saw about 20 people on the front
S1: deck jumping up and down. And second story. I'm like,
S1: what are you doing? My granddad built this in the 70s.
S1: You're gonna go straight through it. He was like, he
S1: wasn't even a proper builder. He was only okay at things.
S1: That's why the doors don't close properly.
S2: This one here from Marty. We had a 30 year
S2: anniversary work trip to Rarotonga. Me and the wife woke
S2: up in the morning to absolute carnage in our room.
S2: It looked like a scene out of the Hangover. The
S2: couch is broken. The light was broken, the ceiling fan
S2: was broken. Beer bottles everywhere, wine bottles and the creek.
S2: And the boss was asleep on the veranda. He smashed
S2: the place to bits.
S1: Oh no. That's like that one with the lads on
S1: the stag do in Thailand. And there's the monkey. They
S1: wake up and there's a monkey monkey in their room,
S1: and it's like hanging off the fan, going round in circles,
S1: making heaps of noise. They wake up and they're like,
S1: what is that, man?
S2: Another one here slid down the stairs and our suitcases
S2: managed to put a hole in the wall at the
S2: end of the stairs. Found an A4 sheet of paper
S2: and some wall paint under the house, but the A4
S2: piece of paper over the hole whacked it with the
S2: Bunnings mini roller. Bob's your aunties, Nana.
S1: Oh my gosh.
S2: Another one here. Only soba made it a stag do.
S2: Found the owner's lawn mower and mowed a cricket pitch
S2: into their brand spanking new lawn while we all chewed
S2: on a bit of cardboard.
S1: There you.
S2: Go. It's a big old weekend.
S1: Just a little bit annoyed at myself, I realized we
S1: could have called the segment, broke a batch.
S2: Wasn't. Oh well, wasn't me, but a mate was trying
S2: to heat up some food with nothing even on the plate.
S2: He put in for 30 minutes instead of three and
S2: exploded in the microwave.
S1: Oh, that'll do it. You're not supposed to do that
S1: with them, are, you know, put your.
S2: Food on it first, you nincompoop.
S1: Nincompoop!
S13: Get that link in the show. Notes.
S1: Deftones. Infinite Source. It is the rocket chain dunk. So
S1: I thought I'd just play this to you because you
S1: know how your algorithms change, and sometimes you're like, oh,
S1: it knows me so well. And other times you're like,
S1: that's a miss. Good luck serving that up to me
S1: another 20 times. That's a waste of money.
S2: I just got served up a hungover chicken sandwich by
S2: Al Brown.
S1: When's it getting delivered?
S2: I'm gonna make one right now. I'm not even hungover.
S2: I just want to get drunk.
S1: So before. Before. Makes me want to start at the start.
S1: So before, like before I play this, I just want
S1: to say, hey, this is an outrageous ad. I haven't
S1: heard an ad like this. And B, don't worry about
S1: my marriage. It's fine. If anything, I'm tired from so much,
S1: it'll make sense in a second.
S14: Sexless marriages have one thing in common a man who
S14: grew up being a nice guy. There's a version of
S14: marriage nobody warns you about. The one where you live
S14: in the same house, raised the same kids, share the
S14: same bed and feel completely alone. She's not cruel. She's
S14: not cheating.
S15: She just what is this?
S14: A square between the mortgage and the school pickups. You
S14: became a co-parent, a provider, a task sharing partner, but
S14: not a man she desires. You can't remember.
S15: She doesn't desire you anymore.
S2: I'm reading between the lines here. I'm actually listening to
S2: what he's saying.
S14: The last time.
S15: Was absolute bollocks.
S1: Yeah.
S2: Well, we're just saying before.
S1: That singing at.
S2: Our algorithms. Dumb AI singing yet as well, by the way.
S2: But we were just talking about before how our algorithms
S2: are in sync. Definitely don't have that one in mind.
S2: What have you been searching?
S1: I've just got teeth whitening pop up to whiten my teeth.
S2: Yeah, pretty white on the deluxe colour chart. Slightly closer
S2: to a fish and chip chip?
S1: Well, they look like a packet of cigarettes telling you
S1: not to smoke them, so probably could do the weed
S1: tickle up. And I've got mattresses popping up and fold
S1: out couches. That's basically what I served at the moment.
S2: Yeah, it's one of those really confronting things. I didn't
S2: even think about it. But if you just hit on
S2: Instagram in particular, if you hit the search button and
S2: it's your explore, it shows what you've been looking at.
S2: Does it? Yeah. It basically shows what you've been in,
S2: what your algorithm would be. So if you hit it,
S2: mine's currently a guy. Have a look at yours.
S1: Oh man. Some stuff about Dan Hooker a bunch of
S1: vegetables yelling into a screen telling you why they're good.
S1: Uh ChatGPT was asked how to live to 140, and
S1: the answer was simple, logical, and totally surprising.
S2: Uh, mine's showing tugboats pushing boats into walls. Um, cheap,
S2: cheap tattoos. A guy getting his head kicked in, um,
S2: Sean Strickland, uh, the rock kissing some chick who's super,
S2: super black. But I think that might be AI.
S1: And I've got a Milwaukee thong as an a G banger.
S1: That's an interesting one.
S2: Just a couple of losers, you know.
S1: Well, everyone already knew that. I think people listening to
S1: us make themselves feel better, right? And we do a
S1: very good job at it. Uh, so just be aware
S1: of that, guys.
S2: Just be aware of if you're searching up different parts,
S2: you know, to stimulate different bits of your body all
S2: the time and various different pictures of women.
S1: You'll just get like an AI song singing about a flashlight.
S13: Coming up next.
S2: Yeah.
S1: It's that little buddy brain. Guys wouldn't mind trying one
S1: of those one day, but I'm not a sicko. Here's
S1: your quick one. The answer on the other side of
S1: the break. What is the record for rowing across the Atlantic?
S1: And then a bit of a deep dive on these
S1: fellas as well. We'll have the answer in a couple
S1: of moments. And also I am giant. And the pumpkins
S1: as well.
S13: Like the sauna there. You can get the link in
S13: the show notes.
S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us. We asked this
S1: question before the break. It was our quick one. What
S1: is the record for rowing across the Atlantic?
S2: These are crazy. The fastest it's ever been done is
S2: 29 days, 14 hours and 34 minutes. Wild. Uh, that
S2: was set by the four man crew. The four oarsmen
S2: back in 2018 are fastest female pair 38 days and
S2: fastest solo female 40 days 21 hours.
S1: Wow.
S2: They're basically rowing from La Gomera to Antigua.
S1: I don't know where both of those places are, but
S1: it sounds like a long way apart.
S2: Sounds like a month apart on a rowboat.
S16: Like a blind man at an orgy. I was going
S16: to have to feel things out.
S10: Jay and Doug's drive home. Rock drive.
S1: Lenny the Eagle. Kravitz. Paralyzed. Eight after four. Drunk driving
S1: you home on the Rock. Quick! Well done to the
S1: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Black Crowes,
S1: Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Oasis. Let's get into it.
S1: Nicknamed ninjas.
S17: Forgiveness, please. Nickname. ninjas.
S1: You guys have a particular set of skills and you
S1: know how to use them. Here's the scenario. So there's
S1: a guy at work turns up every day, but he's
S1: an odd one, complains about anything and everything, but he
S1: comes in with all these weird scenarios like, would you
S1: rather slap a ball in the backside or sleep with
S1: a monkey? Or tells us the difference, uh, the different
S1: types of cows. And then there's, uh, I'll give you
S1: $50 to ride that sheep. He's easily offended, but he
S1: can't take it. It takes everything to heart. Please help.
S2: Some help in the form of Barry Holden's suggestion. His
S2: nickname should be slinky. Not much use, but would put
S2: one hell of a smile on your face, pushing him
S2: down a set of stairs.
S1: I'll back it up with this one. Quinn Johnson. What
S1: about dildo? He can give it, but can't take it.
S2: Gordon Murray, one ply toilet paper. Can't handle shit.
S1: He's the waxy sort. That weird square stuff. Hey, uh,
S1: that's from Ritchie Moon, the Bad Waiter, always dishing it
S1: out but never takes it back.
S2: Uh, Greg Tucker suggested prunes. Okay, in small doses, but
S2: bound to give you the shits.
S1: That's from Nathan Rasmussen. Tony. Just because he reminds me
S1: of a guy I used to work with called Tony.
S1: That's from Damien Henly. The glove box full of crap.
S1: You can't shut him up. Peter Mitchell, Nimbus. The type
S1: of cloud. It's always a better day once he disappears.
S2: There's one here from Kody Hendra. The Turkish delight. Always there,
S2: but no one likes them. Uh, Barry Holden, the Mona Lisa,
S2: the Mona Lisa. Uh, Curtis beard, the appendix. No idea
S2: what he does or what he's doing, but we'd prefer
S2: to have him out.
S1: That's from Chris Morton. The politician talks bollocks, gives stick,
S1: and is easily offended when he receives it back. And
S1: Brian Haddock splinter. Irritating prick that gets under your skin.
S2: Great stuff. Those were spectacular.
S1: You got options. I couldn't help but notice that you
S1: sent that through in the Sniper's Nightmare Facebook page. Anonymous.
S2: Yeah.
S1: So. Anonymous. You have options.
S2: Someone just put in from anonymous. Call him Jay Cartwright. Clearly, clearly,
S2: clearly someone who's exactly the same that they work with.
S1: Hey, mate, would you rather slap a ball on the
S1: backside or sleep with a monkey?
S2: Late edition from Ethan Clark. Is it too early? Why
S2: don't you call him Steve Irwin? Takes everything to the heart.
S1: Too soon. Too soon? Nah, I'm not okay with that.
S2: Name, neither.
S1: I wish you had a filter.
S2: Me neither. What? Yes.
S13: Like the sound of that. You can get the link
S13: in the show notes.
S1: Pearl Jam Record's rock drive in the Rock Thursday afternoon. Uh,
S1: the award winning Morning Rumble had Kelly Slater on the
S1: show this morning. He's over for the New Zealand Golf Open,
S1: which is exciting happening out of Millbrook and Queenstown. Is it?
S2: Yep. Yep. They're going to be, um, there's quite a
S2: lot of golf actually happening over the, the next week,
S2: a lot of tournaments in and around the courses. And he,
S2: I think covers it off in this chat that he
S2: had with him the most probably expensive round of golf
S2: that you can have in New Zealand.
S11: New Zealand Golf.
S3: Open is on this weekend, the Pro-Am as well. The
S3: 11 I mean he's a he's an amazing golfer but
S3: just the world's greatest surfer Kelly Slater good morning. The
S3: goats welcome the Kelly Slater bro.
S2: Welcome to.
S3: The Rumble.
S18: That was a huge golf clap right there.
S3: Thanks guys. I know, uh, so you're the world's greatest surfer. Um,
S3: and you're a scratch golfer. So when did you start golf?
S18: Uh, gosh, I've been golfing for 30 years now.
S3: So all around the sort of the same time you
S3: were the world's greatest surfer?
S18: I was, I, I started playing when I was about 23.
S18: So I'd been 3 or 4 years into competing full
S18: time as a pro on the tour, but I found
S18: golf and got really addicted to it. It kind of
S18: took away from my surf time a little bit, but
S18: it actually sort of helped improve my mental game competitively.
S18: Why so?
S19: Just because it is such a punishing game mentally?
S18: Yeah, because you just start hating yourself and you find
S18: some deep rooted issues and you get rid of them.
S3: Uh.
S19: Kelly Slater is with us on the show new Zealand
S19: Golf Open happening this weekend. Now, you're not a stranger
S19: to New Zealand and golf. Uh, I've been lucky enough
S19: to be invited, and I've played at, um, a couple
S19: of times, which is New Zealand's number one golf course.
S19: Got to be invited to play there or be a member.
S19: You've played there with a friend of ours, Israel Adesanya,
S19: the last stylebender. How does he go golf? How did
S19: those rounds go? And how much have you played here?
S18: Uh, the. We had one round together. We played at, uh, tiara, and, uh,
S18: it was fun. His brother came and a couple friends.
S18: We had a good time. Um, he he loves his golf.
S18: Pretty funny. You know, maybe. Maybe you wouldn't think a
S18: surf would love golf. Maybe you wouldn't think a fighter
S18: would love golf. But, you know, there's just some burning
S18: desire there to improve the technique that that resides within us.
S18: But as far as it goes, I just love it.
S18: Rick Kane, who's the founder of the club, uh, we
S18: became friends about close to ten years ago, and he's
S18: invited me to play as a member, guest tournaments with him.
S18: And I've become really close friends with my buddy Reuben,
S18: who's a caddie up there, and he surfs the area. And, uh,
S18: so I really enjoy getting back there now.
S20: Kelly, it smells here. The cells coming to to Raglan
S20: when you were at the top of your game, how
S20: often did you come to New Zealand to surf? Obviously competitively. Uh,
S20: not that often, but what are your memories of surfing
S20: New Zealand, and did you just turn up at breaks
S20: and people go, bro, are you Kelly Slater?
S18: I actually don't have much surf history in New Zealand. Uh,
S18: I have probably more golf history. We've never had a
S18: World Tour event. We've had qualifying series events, um, like
S18: just smaller events, but never had a full fledged world
S18: tour event in, in New Zealand until now. so that'll
S18: be great. Billy Stairmand got, uh, you know, your New
S18: Zealand boy got the, uh, wild card. And I think
S18: there's one more up for grabs for someone through a
S18: trials of some sort, so that'll be super exciting. Obviously,
S18: Raglan's sort of the premier. Name when you when you
S18: hear about surfing in New Zealand. So it should be
S18: a really great event. I imagine the crowds will turn
S18: up pretty huge. Hopefully you get some really great surf.
S18: It's a good time of year for it.
S1: I cannot wait for that. Yeah, I've already booked my accommodation.
S1: I'll be down there. It's also the weekend of my birthday.
S2: Yeah. What a treat you are in for.
S1: I haven't seen you since I was 14, but I'm
S1: here for it.
S2: Yeah, mate, there'll be no space in the lineup at all. Um,
S2: they didn't touch on it. Or maybe they did in the.
S1: Hang on. Did you think I wanted to go down
S1: there to surf?
S2: I thought you might have been giving it a crack
S2: for the first time.
S1: Excuse me. Kelly. Locals only.
S2: Hey, guys.
S1: Do you mind if I grab this one on my
S1: boogie board? Hey, it's more the fact that I haven't
S1: paid much attention to it over the straight hander.
S2: Um, but he, um, they didn't touch on it in
S2: the chat there, but, uh, Kelly Slater and Izzy Dag, uh,
S2: basically played six holes on six different courses, and they
S2: got there, and the the golf cart was a helicopter, including, uh,
S2: the new golf course at Glendhu Bay. Um, which is incredible. Um,
S2: which Derby's old man owns? Well.
S1: On Lake. Warner Lake. Wanaka.
S2: Yeah. Impressive. Like such an insane setup.
S1: That's cool man. Uh, next placemakers Total Recall. Uh, your
S1: chance went up to $500 in placemakers vouchers. If you'd
S1: like to play. Oh, eight handed rock foam. We'll explain
S1: all and get you on after this.
S13: After was 90.2 Auckland.
S10: The rocks Jay and dunk.
S13: The rock drive.
S1: Hello there. If you just joined us we asked this
S1: question before the break. It was our quick one. How
S1: many eggs does a praying mantis lay?
S2: Uh praying mantis female praying mantis can spit out anywhere
S2: between 50 and 400 eggs at one time, encased in
S2: a hardened foam structure called an theca.
S1: That's too many. I don't think the world would be like, oh,
S1: there's no more praying mantises, are they?
S2: They also eat the male after banging the May.
S1: Oh, yeah, I heard they eat 2 or 3 if
S1: they've had a real good go on the malnourished.
S2: Imagine Bonny Blue was a praying mantis. Should we chock
S2: a block?
S1: Let's not give a chance to win big with picnics.
S1: Foo fighters tickets on sale for Auckland and Christchurch. As
S1: of now on the NZ generator on the Rock.
S13: Listen to our other podcast not for radio. Wherever you're
S13: listening to this one, just search. Not for radio.
S1: The Black Keys, Eagle Birds, Rock drive with your old
S1: mates Shandong Thursday afternoon. How do we get to hear
S1: now this coming weekend? It feels like we've had preseason
S1: games for weeks on end. Well, we actually have. But
S1: the NRL kicks off and Vegas, which is awesome. Allegiant
S1: Stadium and there is a couple of games. 315 Sunday
S1: afternoon sees the, um, Newcastle Knights take on the Queensland
S1: Cowboys and then after that you've got Saint George taking on, uh,
S1: the Bulldogs. And I said this earlier and the odds
S1: have actually come down, but, uh, I reckon it's just
S1: the Cowboys are going to get up over the Knights
S1: and paying $1.55. And if you couple that up, this
S1: is the bit that I'm sort of same game multi
S1: looking at. And we are hosting a pot on um
S1: Sunday afternoon for this J.
S2: Yes. Reminder I'll be there. Just not physically. Probably not
S2: mentally either but I'll be there.
S1: Your body will be there. I'll be doing the work.
S1: That's okay because I'm used to that.
S2: Yeah. Um, we're keeping we're consistent with our approach.
S1: The Knights have lost their last five games. Cowboys have
S1: won two of the last three. Their last one was
S1: a loss though. And then so we have a look
S1: at the top like the favorite try anytime try scorer
S1: Murray Toolangi. Yeah it's meant to be mate. My son's
S1: name is Muzz as well. Um get him in there.
S1: And so that's paying like 270 or something like that
S1: for a same game multi Happy days, I reckon.
S2: This isn't a bad one, Dominic. Young Scott Drinkwater and
S2: Tom Dearden. End times, all of them. 1824.
S1: Yeah, I'm going off the bulk. Any time. Try scorers.
S2: But that's like this is one. Here's another, here's another.
S2: This is out of the bit social part. So these
S2: are the popular ones. So basically this is a five
S2: legger that 414 other people have punted on. Fletcher sharp
S2: any time Greg Mazure any time Jackson. Purdue. Any time. Murray. Toolangi.
S2: Any time. Tommy Dearden. Any time.
S1: One 1518 yeah, but then you go, you basically could
S1: be picking every try scorer in the game.
S2: Yeah.
S1: That's tricky.
S2: It's been done.
S1: Not that many times. Anyway, these are the arguments myself
S1: and Jay will have in the hour lead up to
S1: spin in the Rockpile.
S2: Yeah, because I like to go these monstrous Maltese, um,
S2: and dunk's a bit more. Just make money, you know?
S1: Do you know what, though? Jay will hit one and win, like,
S1: 30 grand one time, and I'll just never hear the
S1: end of it. Yeah, yeah, never.
S2: 26 is as the year of the 26 league multi.
S2: You watch this space.
S1: Can you even get a 26 league multi on the
S1: same game.
S2: No not on the same game. I'm going to put
S2: it across everything. I'll be doing hamster racing all the
S2: way through to inline figure skating.
S1: So we've got a $50 bet bonus bet for you
S1: to win right now. And also food delivery for Sunday afternoon. Uh,
S1: for the opening weekend of the NRL, you can tick
S1: ticks to three, 5 to 0. That will put you
S1: in the draw. Make sure you put your first and
S1: last name because we're going to announce the winner. And
S1: a couple of moments, uh, also heads up as well.
S1: If you place a $10 or more bet on both
S1: NRL Vegas games, you can score $20 in bonus cash
S1: that is officially live now. Um, and new customers as well.
S1: Score $100 bonus cash when you sign up and deposit
S1: 50 bucks or more.
S2: Ah, I didn't even know this. This is once again
S2: in the Bet social, um, part of it. So they've
S2: got markets popular. And then for you as same game multi.
S2: So you can go up to ten bucks for your
S2: same game. Multi 10 to 20 gives you all the odds.
S2: 20 to 50 and then 50 plus. So you hit
S2: on whichever tab you want. It gives you all of
S2: the betting options there. That's cool. Very cool.
S1: They keep making that app better and better don't they
S1: obviously are 18 punt responsibly uh get texting you to 3520.
S1: Give us four minutes and we'll be back with the
S1: winner after the offspring.
S21: He speaks the bullshit.
S10: Jay and dunk.
S13: The rock. Drive.
S1: The offspring self esteem and his rock driving the rock G.
S1: I hope that camera in there is capturing Benny Boy,
S1: trying to drag that wire out of the back of
S1: the desk there. They look like hard work, bro. Yeah,
S1: it looks luggage. If you're new to the show, Benny
S1: Boy is our executive producer. The replacement of show boss Tiggs,
S1: who went to Walkinshaw Racing Supercars team.
S2: And she's loving every second of it at the moment,
S2: which is great. And I think she quickly realized how
S2: much work goes into packing out of a Supercars event, Mhm.
S2: Particularly when you normally get three hours and you get
S2: an hour and a half.
S1: They got the Monday off after the racing so it's
S1: quite good. So they're in Melbourne next weekend. Yeah. And
S1: then a couple of weeks later in Taupo.
S2: Which in it's like Melbourne coincides with the formula one.
S2: So it's just sick.
S1: Crazy. You've done that.
S2: Yeah. It's it's one of the greatest weekends around.
S1: I haven't done that. I need to do that.
S2: Yeah. It's particularly if you get some real you get
S2: some real good individuals together and you get a really
S2: cruisey number on a corporate gift, you know, corporate sort
S2: of hosting suite setup.
S1: Well, that'd be the way to do it. That would
S1: be way everyone would do it if they could.
S2: Red bull, I know you're listening. Send this over.
S1: Oh, yeah.
S2: Let's take a team.
S1: I look like a Red bull athlete. I look good
S1: on all their photos.
S2: Yeah.
S1: Wouldn't I if I sucked it in a little bit?
S1: Not a lot.
S2: They might look to be firing somebody out of a cannon.
S2: I reckon you would. You'd fit the bill.
S1: You're not going to start the race for.
S2: Just dunk across the course.
S1: Um, now, I also want to get you to go
S1: to State of Origin this year. Yeah. Bucket list. So
S1: we're doing Bathurst later in the year. That's a special place.
S2: Um, those packages are still available to, uh, if you're
S2: wanting to go.
S1: I've got some left.
S2: Yeah, I think there might be a couple left.
S1: Alright, well, I'm going to guess because we've talked about
S1: it for a couple of weeks at Bathurst A3520. If
S1: you want to join me and Jane Bathurst that's going
S1: to be awesome. Now back to Beecher and the NRL.
S1: First uh, round is this weekend in Vegas. Couple of
S1: games from 315 uh, and the afternoon on Sunday. And
S1: have we got a winner for the $50 bonus bet?
S1: And also a food delivery for Sunday afternoon?
S2: We do start rubbing your hands together. Uh, and we
S2: wish you all the very best of luck. Brian fogarty. Congratulations,
S2: Brian Fogarty. Good on you. So if you, um, if,
S2: you know Big Bri unit, swing around his place because
S2: he's gonna have some great Tucker during the, um, the
S2: during the league on Sunday.
S13: Tell us what's next, fellas.
S2: Uh, it looks to be the great Dargaville toilet fiasco
S2: of 2013 has reared its ugly head again.
S1: Headset. Are we going to revisit that? Mhm. That's the
S1: story that needs to be told on a Thursday evening.
S2: It is indeed.
S1: If you're like oh what is that. Well we're going
S1: to have it for 5:10.
S2: You were given the opportunity to go somewhere nice. And
S2: this is the reason why you no longer go anywhere nice.
S13: Like the sound of that. You can get the link
S13: in the show notes.
S22: Oh ho ho ho! He's a working class man.
S1: G'day, battlers. Drunk driving you home. Thanks to our mates
S1: at Novus Glass. Yeah, Novus, if you've got a chip
S1: or crack on your windscreen this summer just calling to
S1: your local branch, they'll sort it out for you.
S2: We've got some international correspondents for late mail. And also,
S2: you know, you've always wanted to hear it. If the
S2: Michael Jackson hit song Billie Jean was done as an
S2: Irish folk song cover.
S1: Oh, man, that's so good.
S2: Would you say better than the original?
S1: Yep. Didn't even have to think about that for too long.
S1: Tom Petty learning to fly the rock with your old mates.
S13: Jane the Rock drive podcast.
S1: The rainfall. Nothing makes sense. I just want to. Can
S1: we just pretend this is, uh, hasn't just happened? Okay. Uh,
S1: and so Jay's talking off air during that song, and
S1: he's saying to me.
S2: Guess how many, um, endemic CKD species there are in
S2: New Zealand? Ooh. And because very loud at the moment,
S2: very cicada.
S1: The boy listening through the glass window there says instantly 42.
S2: 42 cicada species in New Zealand. That's why.
S1: Pacquiao. How did you know that, Benny boy?
S13: I think we've got exactly the same Instagram feed. I
S13: saw it last night.
S2: Okay. Yeah. Oh, what's happened is, as women become in sync,
S2: the three of us have most definitely become in sync.
S2: And in terms of our algorithms.
S1: That's a concern. Yeah.
S2: Which depending on who's got the strongest.
S1: Everyone's talking about it. It's just all coming up in
S1: your matched algorithm.
S2: Well.
S1: It's pretty impressive, though.
S2: That's amazing.
S1: I think I've got all 42 of those species in
S1: the bank and behind my house. It's that loud?
S2: You probably do. Uh, and then another. My my only
S2: other disturbing little bug fact that I've got is that
S2: they have discovered a caterpillar. Which is this how this
S2: is nature at its absolute best. They've discovered a caterpillar
S2: that kills other insects and then sews the insects bodies
S2: to his back. So it's like a full, like a
S2: full Hannibal Lecter set up.
S1: Ooh.
S2: Yeah. So it walks around with all of the skeletons
S2: of these flies that it eats on its back.
S1: That's pretty badass.
S2: That's pretty badass.
S1: Yeah, you wouldn't mess with them. Uh, and keeping with
S1: native species here in New Zealand as well. Jam this
S1: one in, too. Before we get to this outrageous AI song. Uh,
S1: different cover of, uh, Billie Jean's Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.
S1: The kakapo have had a great season of rooting.
S2: Yes.
S1: Slamming the the berries, getting them. I don't know if
S1: they've been getting drunk and frisky or whatever, but. How's this?
S1: This is, course, the flightless parrot. Um, only place in
S1: the world is here in New Zealand. New Zealand, you
S1: get them? They were near extinction ten years ago. There
S1: was only 50 left. Now there's like 200. I reckon
S1: this is going to be one of the biggest seasons
S1: ever for them.
S2: Yeah, it gets exponentially better the more they bang.
S1: They should do pay per views for that. Oh yes.
S1: You were saying before was it? Okay. Moving on here
S1: is this air cover. It's ridiculous. This is, uh, what
S1: if Michael Jackson's, uh, Billie Jean was an Irish folk song.
S23: She was more like a beauty queen from a film scene.
S23: I said, don't mind, but what do you mean? I
S23: am the voice.
S11: Down.
S23: Who will dance on the floor in the round. She
S23: said I am the one who will dance on the
S23: floor in the round.
S24: Of mine.
S2: Whipping into a thick, creamy pint and having to listen to.
S24: That.
S23: As she caused a scene. Then every head turned with
S23: eyes that dreamed of being the one who would dance
S23: on the floor in the round. But Billie Jean is
S23: not my lover. Oh my God, oh my God, she's
S23: just a girl who claims that I am the one.
S23: But the kid is not my son. She says I
S23: am very cool.
S1: Do you know, um. I forget what website it is,
S1: but there's like a, uh. I'm feeling lucky button when
S1: you can't make a decision. They need that on Spotify, eh?
S2: Yeah.
S1: And then it just goes bang. Whacks you some Irish
S1: folk music just to mix things up. See the bloody
S1: K-pop demon hunters mixed in with tool at the moment?
S1: And Yungblud, which is what the kids are into.
S2: Yeah, I'm loving a little, loving a little sort of
S2: ramshackle runaway on some of those tracks that we've been
S2: listening to.
S1: Yeah, it's good man. Uh yungbluds. Um, IDLES volume two
S1: or whatever it's called. Very good. There's some real good
S1: tunes in there. My boys have been absolutely loving it.
S1: Give us a couple of moments. Got to be back
S1: with all the details. How you can be off to
S1: the Daytona 500 Speedway to see Foo Fighters and Guns
S1: N roses, and we'll stick with America. The latest proposed
S1: USC white House fight card. The strokes last night. Rock
S1: drive on the Rock.
S13: The Rock drive podcast.
S1: Linkin Park up in your bottom. It is rock. Drive
S1: on the Rock. And tomorrow is your last chance before
S1: 5 p.m. to hear your boarding call. You got to
S1: be caller number 12 for Rock the globe 12. Your
S1: chance to spend five nights in Florida at the Daytona
S1: Speedway and headline acts Foo Fighters, guns N roses. 160
S1: plus bands across this bill. And, um, yeah, just one
S1: more chance. So we'll make we'll make the draw for that.
S1: Like tomorrow night at 5:10 and someone's going.
S2: That's a quick turnaround, isn't it?
S1: Oh. It's crazy.
S2: Um, the UFC, white House. Yes. This is what, like it's.
S2: They've announced that, um, Pereira is going to be up
S2: against Chimaev, which is going to be a great fight.
S1: Not if someone rolls all over the other one.
S2: That's what I'm. Yeah, I think that a lot of
S2: people will be learning from that last fight that he
S2: had and just going, I can't be bothered with the
S2: smother fest.
S1: Oh, surely Dana won't just be like bra backhand. I'll
S1: give you a million bucks if you don't roll all
S1: over him. No one wants to see that this is
S1: Memorial Weekend.
S2: The hope was that Pereira would fight Ciryl Gane and
S2: that he would jump up to heavyweight.
S1: Oh, yeah, that would have been good.
S2: That would be quite sick. Um, the other, uh, the
S2: other fights that they reckon will we'll be getting announced
S2: a tapuria versus Justin Gaethje.
S1: Oh.
S2: Which is that one?
S1: Yes, yes.
S2: Yes, that'll be a monster. Harrison versus Nunez. Um, females. Um,
S2: McGregor versus Diaz three.
S1: That hasn't been confirmed.
S2: No no no no no. But that's what they're wanting.
S1: And I would love that.
S2: And, uh, Colby Covington versus Paddy Pimblett is another one
S2: that they've, um, said would be a possibility.
S1: The McGregor Diaz fight would be like a nice nostalgic fight, almost.
S1: You'd want to see it, but, you know, it's not
S1: going to be at the level of some of those
S1: other fights we've had recently. Because I've been out of
S1: the game for quite a while.
S2: I'd want to see Aspinall versus Jon Jones.
S1: What's, um, Nick Diaz? Imagine him fighting McGregor. I would
S1: love to see that. He was way better than Nate,
S1: but then ended up getting banned from the sport for
S1: like six years for smoking weed. Now it's legal in
S1: every state.
S2: Yeah, that's.
S1: Right. He was always the better fighter.
S2: Yeah, he was crazy good.
S1: Yeah. And also crazy.
S2: Yeah.
S1: Which was like crazy versus crazy. It would be awesome.
S1: What about you? Go. I mean, probably slightly unfair, but
S1: it's like, imagine, um, say, Nick does two rounds. Nate
S1: does two. Three rounds.
S2: Like a a tag team UFC event would be awesome.
S1: Conor would be the one to say yes to that.
S2: Yeah, yeah, you you two fighters and you basically can
S2: tag out if you're, like, about to get choked out,
S2: you can tap out.
S1: This is why we're not in charge.
S2: Yeah, yeah.
S1: You can switch.
S2: Out. It's just an endless fight.
S1: Uh, righto. Give us a couple of moments. Got to
S1: be back with late mail. A chance for us to
S1: get to some of the stuff we haven't had a
S1: chance to get to some correspondents from the UK as well.
S1: One of our big UK rock listeners, Danny Carroll. He's
S1: a great man. Loves it.
S2: Good to have you with us, mate.
S1: Grinspoon. Chemical heart on the Rock.
S13: How are you? Thanks for listening.
S1: Linkin Park up in your bottom. It is rock. Drive
S1: on the rock and tomorrow is your last chance before
S1: 5 p.m. to hear your boarding call. You got to
S1: be caller number 12 for Rock the globe 12. Your
S1: chance to spend five nights in Florida at the Daytona

S1: plus bands across this bill. And, um, yeah, just one
S1: more chance. So we'll make we'll make the draw for that.
S1: Like tomorrow night at 5:10 at May. Someone's going.
S2: That's a quick turnaround, isn't it?
S1: Oh it's crazy.
S2: Um, the UFC, white House.
S1: Yes.
S2: This is what, like it's. They've announced that, um, Pereira
S2: is going to be up against Shamir, which is going
S2: to be a great fight.
S1: Not if someone rolls all over the other one.
S2: That's what I'm. Yeah, I think that a lot of
S2: people will be learning from that last fight that he
S2: had and just going, I can't be bothered with this
S2: mother fest.
S1: Oh, surely Dana won't just be like bra, backhand. I'll
S1: give you a million bucks if you don't roll all
S1: over him. No one wants to see that this is
S1: Memorial Weekend.
S2: The hope was that Pereira would fight Cyril Gahan and
S2: that he would jump up to heavyweight.
S1: Oh, yeah, that would have been good.
S2: That would be quite sick. Um, the other, uh, the
S2: other fights that they reckon will be getting announced a
S2: tapuria versus Justin Gaethje. Oh, which is that one?
S1: Yes, yes.

S2: Fighter. Yeah, he was crazy good.
S1: Yeah. And also crazy.
S2: Yeah.

S1: One of our UK rock listeners, Danny Carroll, is a
S1: great man. Loves it.
S2: Good to have you with us, mate.
S1: Grinspoon. Chemical heart on the Rock.
S13: Like the sound of that. You can get the link
S13: in the show notes.
S1: Hell of a tune, an excess never tear us apart.
S1: It is rock. Drive in the Rock. Thursday evening we're
S1: almost on the home run to the weekend. And a
S1: little bit of late. Mail for you now. A chance
S1: for us to get to some of the stuff we
S1: haven't had a chance to get to. Oh, by the way,
S1: I forgot to tell you this earlier as well. If
S1: you are catching Air New Zealand flight anytime soon, they
S1: have now banned EarPods and all Bluetooth headphones from being
S1: put in checked luggage due to fire safety fears.
S2: I wonder if that's little speakers as well then.
S1: One would imagine. So yes, anything with a lithium ion battery,
S1: they're not super keen being down there, are they?
S2: Understandably so. I've got a little bit international, um, international correspondence.
S1: Yeah, that's from Danny Carroll. So Danny Carroll is talking
S1: about something that's so good looking that it caused an accident.
S1: This is from yesterday's radio show. He said I went
S1: through a stage of buying old jags, and with the
S1: cost of fuel on the size of the fuel tanks,
S1: it was painful to fill them up. But then this happened.
S1: I pull up to the pumps, prepared to dump a
S1: month's salary into the beasts, and a little Porsche Boxster
S1: pulls up on the other side of the pump. On
S1: using out steps. A young lady in gym gear and
S1: I couldn't tell you her name, but the chances are
S1: most blokes would be aware of her work and her
S1: educational biology films that she makes. Now I've got a
S1: girlfriend in the car and I'm side eyeing so hard
S1: I was nearly having a stroke as all this was
S1: going on. A gentleman has just finished filling up and
S1: is walking across the forecourt heading towards the shop, and
S1: he notices the yoga pant wearing mattress. Actress completely misses
S1: the sliding door, walks straight into the glass panel windows,
S1: falls into the newspaper stand and it was just like
S1: the Yankees had won the World Series. I laughed. The
S1: VPN Netflix girl looks horrified and in the chaos and
S1: I go in, I pay. I get back to the car,
S1: giggling and say to the missus, oh my gosh, that
S1: was so funny. She looks at me deadpan, says, if
S1: you drove a mini, that would have been you dickhead.
S1: Well played.
S2: This is Sprinting into glass doors is one of the
S2: funniest things you'll ever see.
S1: When you have it, it's like there's certain sounds. When
S1: it's like a sweet spot hit like a the middle
S1: of a baseball bat, the perfect drive with a driver,
S1: middle of a cricket bat, or like a kid's head
S1: going into some safety glass at full speed. That sound.
S1: There's nothing else quite like that.
S2: Yeah.
S1: Actually, I say kids like a like a drunk adult
S1: bloke is better.
S2: Our our lawyers, where they're situated in this building, they've
S2: got a glass, basically a big glass plate at the
S2: end of a hallway and that looks like where you
S2: would walk into it, but you actually walk to the
S2: side of the glass plate and into the building, and
S2: the receptionist basically just sees people smudge their faces against
S2: it every single day. I was like, why don't you
S2: put a stripe on it? She's like, I could work
S2: anywhere in the world, but I stay here just for
S2: this alone. I was like, if you set up a
S2: camera above your head just as a security camera, you'd
S2: make millions selling this on the internet.
S1: So I've just found a four minute 26 compilation. Baby.
S1: It's a bloke in a dojo. That's it. That's a
S1: kid in the mall.
S17: Donk, donk!
S1: It's weirdly enjoyable, am I? Is anyone else feeling that
S1: or am I weird?
S2: I mean, it is. There is a certain amount of
S2: pleasure that you take in other people's misery. And that's
S2: the human race.
S1: Yeah, yeah. We wanted to do a segment once about
S1: overweight people like me, uh, rolling down hills accidentally, I
S1: think weirdly enjoyable as well. It's due to the fact
S1: that there's not a lot of strength in the ankle.
S1: It can go. Trust me, I know you now.
S2: They do the you know, they do the challenge where
S2: they try and do the Whitney Houston drum beat, you know,
S2: like it became one of those things.
S1: Yes.
S2: I reckon you could do the same thing. You pick
S2: the point of terminal velocity of a big person just
S2: before they bin it?
S1: Yes, I'll give it a go.
S13: Listen to our other podcast. Not for radio. Wherever you're
S13: listening to this one, just search. Not for radio.
S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us. We asked this
S1: question before the break. It was a quick one. How
S1: long does it take to fly to Antarctica from New Zealand?
S2: Flights out of Christchurch to Antarctica typically take between 5
S2: and 7 hours. It's much further than I thought it
S2: would be.
S1: So you could do a return in ten, because there
S1: used to be the flight that would go down there, right?
S2: Would they do the Southern Lights flights where they fly
S2: out of there and they basically do a big, big loop.
S2: So you can see the southern lights, the aurora borealis.
S1: Jeez. I used to enjoy, uh, rugby bus trips across
S1: the Canterbury Plains, and that's pretty bloody boring to look at.
S1: I could do a booze cruise to Antarctica and back.
S1: No dramas as long as the drinks kept flowing.
S2: It's the. It's the boat trips where you fly into
S2: Argentina and go out of there. Those ones look crazy.
S1: Yeah. Your mate Logan done that?
S2: He did. He said it was epic. He's like, it
S2: is a bucket list must do thing. He's like that.
S2: And a safari. Job done.
S1: Mhm.
S2: It's kind of the only places where you see it
S2: where it used to be, where it's just unchecked.
S1: I've seen the documentary The Lion King, the new one.
S2: Oh yeah.
S1: Pretty good.
S2: Mate.
S1: All the way over there.
S2: Better to get acting lines that can actually speak English
S2: as well as you can understand what they're talking about.
S1: Wow. I think that's just peanut butter on the tongue, mate.
S1: Stereogram in the rock.
S13: Get that link in the show notes.
S1: Guns N roses. That is the rock with Shane Dunk.
S1: And last drinks for a Thursday going to get delivered up. And, uh,
S1: also going to be dedicated to a very special athlete
S1: here in New Zealand. One of the all time greats.
S25: I'd love to have a beer with Duncan. I'd love
S25: to have a beer with Duncan. We drink in moderation
S25: and we never, ever, ever, ever old and drunk. We
S25: drink at the town and country where the atmosphere is great.
S25: I love to have a beer with Duncan cause Duncan's
S25: mean mate.
S24: Yeah.
S1: One of the most destructive and best rugby players of
S1: all time, Portia Woodman. Wickliffe has retired from international rugby.
S1: As of today. I'm going to run you through what
S1: she achieved in her incredible career.
S2: Stats are amazing.
S1: Appointed officer of New Zealand Order of Merit that was
S1: just last year. Maori Sportswoman of the year 2017. World
S1: Rugby Women's Sevens Player of the decade 2020. World Rugby
S1: Women's Player of the year 2017 and again in 2015.
S1: She scored her 50th test try at the 2025 Rugby
S1: World Cup, a historic milestone. She is the all time
S1: leading test try scorer across both men's and women's rugby
S1: in New Zealand, so she surpassed Doug Howlett's record. She's
S1: the first woman to score 250 tries in the Sevens Series.
S1: First woman to score 200 tries in the World Rugby
S1: Sevens Series as well. Uh. She won the Rugby Sevens
S1: World Cup titles in 2013 2018. She's got a Commonwealth
S1: Games gold medal in the sevens. She was the winner
S1: of the Women's Rugby World Cup in 2021, also 2017.
S1: She got a silver medal in Rio Olympics and again
S1: she went and got a medal at Paris in 2024,
S1: four years before that. No dramas mate. I'll pick up
S1: the one for Tokyo as well.
S2: She is incredible.
S1: Isn't that just crazy? Like what a special human.
S2: Yeah, yeah. And, uh, obviously she feels like she's not
S2: done in rugby completely. Um, and will be. Everyone's waiting
S2: for the comeback because she's sort of nudged it and gone. Ah, look,
S2: I'm done. But body is just unreal on it. Like,
S2: it just has got years and years and years to play.
S1: Well, she kind of had done that. And then she
S1: came back last year didn't she. Yeah. For the World Cup.
S2: Yeah. So I would be interested to see if she
S2: can stay away from the game, because it just isn't
S2: the game without it.
S1: My only regret would not be putting more money on
S1: her to score two or more tries than all of
S1: her matches.
S2: Yeah, that was, um. Yeah, that women's rugby is amazing.
S2: And women's the NRL is really great. Odds on that one.
S1: Yeah. Of, um. Yeah. Really, really been enjoying it as
S1: of late. Well, enjoy your well-earned break. No matter how
S1: long it lasts. Portia, you've been just an absolute treat
S1: to watch. Uh, so, last drinks dedicated to you. Have
S1: a great night in New Zealand, Paul Murray hooroo.
