This is one of favorite times of the year. Well, we figure that we are aficionados when it comes to por products and When these NewZ New Zealand's best bacon and ham products crround the national awwards, we're generally right there. You know we are in the mixer For the last four or five years. a beautiful thing happened in the twenty twenty five Bacon and ham awwards Sam's butchery, which is That's a crow flly about four kilometers from my house, got crowned The winners of the Supreme Bacon Award. Yes And you know what? my body loves me for it. Yeah. I've been there many, many times in the last twelve months. And there'll be there is some great butchers that willll be listening to this and some people breaking down beasts and listening to the show and I pt been a part of the show and they do incredible baking as well made out of New Zealand pigs, zero shrinkage out of it and they do their very best to put the best that they can in our bodies Don't pay for the water hight for the quality. Yeah. So Judging process for this competition I he you aska Aise Dano He How long? Yeah. whats spe been three days and a panel of experienced butchers and culinary experts Carefully evaluated, not one, not two. But two hundred and thirty three entries from across the country all crafted using one hundred percent New Zealand born and raised pork and that is important because Most of the most of the pork products that you'll be eating, if you're not going and don't have a relationship with your local butcher or you're not going out there into the hills and getting it yourself I think it's like over seventy percent of port products available in New Zealand are imported from overseas Be you can imagine they have had a great life before they come here. Exactly. So our New Zealand pork farmers or New Zealand pig farmers or pork producers, pig producers sit probably in the highest in the world when it comes to the stringent rules in and around animal welfare and how they can produce these animals they do it better than anybody else. The fact that I mean that we're lucky that they hold that many products back for us in the country to have because they reach premium prices whenever they are sent overseas. But the big farmers of New Zealand are like night, we need to actually we need to try the more we do this here and the more New Zealand does eat New Zealand born and raised pork products means The more we can farm, which means the cheaper the price can be or the price can come down a little bit A judg across eight bacon, three hand categories, gold silver bronze medals awarded each category top scoring. U and winning the category champion. These champions then progress to a final round of judging to determine the overall supreme bacon and supreme ham winners and the winners are Dunan hide. Just first I want to say what the judges were looking for and this goes for both ham and bacon this year Balance, great flavor, a satisfying mouth feel too salty. too moist or too dry What shit Bloody hard to nail or was that enough? Easier to see somebody in Mars I reckon So congratulations to Sam's Butchery in Silverdale earning bragging rights as the suupreme Ham Award winner for twenty twenty six with their bon and Hm which we had this afternoon pass of flying colourors in our office. Absolutely delicious. And then good friend of the show Rubes from the Aussie Butcher in New Lland who's been in a bunch of times with us. It' super proud of him and his team family run operation out there have taken out the supreme bacon title for the middle bacon twenty twenty six. Yeah, congratulations because middle bacon that's the one where you can really mix things up. There's different sizes of meat structure within that. so you can get a real dry part And a really and then obviously quite a fatty part as well. So they nailed it. abbsolutely nailed it. So if you want to go and support I just support your local butchers full stop hard out. It a bloody great job and Pkanor Bacon got the People's Choice awward as well. I would just like to say that I was more excited about those awards than the Michelin stars been handed last night. congratulations to everybody that got them that managed to get Michelin Stars. I think only won two Michelin Star restaurant which was in Chr I mean, not in Christich' in Queenstown. Yeah. Teller was the first someone. Michelin stars also Samon chehef Michelin star restaurant. So that's very impressive. but there's a lot awarded last night and those will be going up outside establishments today with pride so to all those people. Hospitality needs people supporting them more than ever before. getet out there. the are ones' using those New Zealand born and raised pigs as well Now as you may or may not know if you're new to the show, we one hundred percent support people giving one thousand out of ten. That's exactly right. As of today because we watched the video earlier that explained it all. But if you're like, what you can't get a thousand out of a ten. Wait until you hear from a bloke called Matdie Kay from the internet. Yeah the fea. Rock Drive with Jayan Dunk that. see the fake it.

That AB's playing at Takaha one New Zealand this weekend sold out Of course it has' crush jice. Absolutely. You can tell that beb into the middle of that thing at the moment. I we would just sc for the barbecue, but a tble dinner is just to turn up for the smokey teas and stuck around for the footie. How's that? I strech into some of my mates. I C can't wait to get there. I'm so jealous. Like I never have I been so jealous of my hometown. I would be love to go back. I can't wait to see a game there. They went into town. It was one of the super round games And I think it was a four o'clock game that they were going to go watch. They went into town for a late lunch at two and smacked a couple of Bce skis and a late lunch and then walked in. it was like a twelve minute walk from town straight into the stadium no lines Even though' a sellout they were pretty epic. That is impressive. That is what I reckon is a thousand out of ten Yeah. and now I know you're going to go. can't get a thousand out of ten. Well, Matthew Kendall would beg to differ and Matdty Kay is here to tell you. how you get a thousand out of ten lifestyle. It's a mentality. Pull side too, middle of the winter You know, I look around, I'm in Melbourne right now. You could say it's a thousand out of team But that's just my minds. I could be under that bridge right now in the cold. It's still thousand out of China doesn't matter It doesn't matter where I am, it's always a thousand natcy. You know, I could be in the cold Right now I'm gonna go on the twl. Here we go He's in the cold This is a cold pool. It's about as cold as it get air. stillill a thousand out of te Go on this bridge.

That's why I win That's why I' the maned I am because it doesn't matter. I always win, it's always a thousand. I se know. I'm fuzzed up. I think it's something that we probably need to adopt is a mantra for the show Giving it thousand out ofeen No more one hundred and ten percent on a thousand outeen. How much if it did you put it? A thousand out ofeen Im starting to think someone pulled the wall over our eyes in high school tellelling us that the turn out of team was good. Yeah. S someone yeah don't I've never trusted Math.

If anybody actually knows Matthew Kendall, who's the business owner, public speaker, world travel content creator Love smacking a can butcher I notice on the feed there. He is he is blazing a trail. So next time somebody asks you how you doing Let him know twenty eighteen. Rock dririve with Jane Dunk. How's this Open up the cupboard last night, take have a look in the meeser just done some grocery shop and tidied the place up Pant his chocer block L it it wasn't full of real chocolate chips No, it wasn a terrible was No What a rude rude when have those carb bars. Oh, chocolate your dog can love. Yeah Should be cool. That's actually true. Dgs can take care of. Chocolate for dogs lo and behold, they're in front of me in a clear plastic container was just A site of abomination is a full container full of ginger kisses Ginger kisses are the worst luxury biscuit that you can get your hands on.'ll stop of there I are absolutely suuck old Easter e you I missed it so big I'm about a meter a half away. Matrix that Is there a word? so my pearents. What is wrong with ginger kiss last great treat? They suck We see Ling Kish or Where one hundred percent one hundred percent, yes. Oh man. They're amazing. They're so good. Like there's something course you'd say that. Yeah, I would say that. Did you not have them in your house growing up not ha a m. this is the ginger kisses were reserved for very special occasions. So they'd be there they would sit there probably to the edge of their expiration date. and then whenever somebody fancy came around mum and dad had bust them out and' be like, Well, sweet. So I look at these things with reverence. I was like, that is like I'm gonna have one. Oh man, I can't wait to one day that I get you know get to grab one of these and eventually that moment came and I was like God These things suck Absolutely woeful He Everything about it. much just kissing ye I just it wasn't reciprocated, you know I just didn't want lot of cream? I didn't want nah. That whole bit was just weird and yucked. Did were you hoping more of a ginger nut as opposed to a soft may Biscuit? Maybe something. you know what it is? It's just a shit house macron. That's what it is. Okay Casty's got a really good point here. Shut up, Jay Anyway, Glenn says Moniic says you're dumb Je. sweet. W Je With a cup of tea. Wa yeah. Gene, you're out of your a head. you put a ginger kiss into a mug that thing dissolves, it will wlt strateg Ickon this' going be a tough sell to people to say Jingy Kiss is suck. They've been around for so long. There's a reason why they still sell. The idea because I'm the same as you and I'm the same as Wesy Lee didn't have a lot of opportunities to eat a ginger kiss and they weirdly came in like an eight pack as like four as sides. V very minimal setup. So being the like the youngest child in our family I didn't stand a chance if there was people over then there was no chance I was getting one of those.. So the idea of opening a packet or maybe even like a pack of meallow puffs and being able to choose to eat as many as I wanted. G me butterflies of. Don't be honest. If I saw a pack of ginger kisses on the kitchen table when I came into the living room, I knew nine times out of ten the bank manager was gonna be there. And Mum and Dad would putting their best foot forward for some form of financial extension on the farm They are a in the rural banker over at the best eals breakfast tea. there' be some blloke who had like horn our eyebrows with a pist blown face, cheeks and nose bigig beer belly canan I sit you a challenge Before you get into what I know you're about to get into. Do you want to try and do a better job than Griffins for the ginger kiss? So you make a ginger kiss at home. and bring it in for us to sign uce I just think it's not it would be quite easy to do a better version like if you think they're that bad. I think nothing to be cooking be a walk in the park. Nothing Nothing is it be the fversion ch kess Hurry I' been locked L like them for five minutes. I was gonna ask the question. I was gonna ask the question We have guests coming, bring out the fancy food. What was that thing that came out at your house? When you were little? Oh yeah, this what came out the special occasion.

Oh, A salmon Bini, possibly D you want to give that a geez? Check out the link in the show notes. Hey hey rock up an audience as you tell them Aber one of the worst bands in the world and one wee can also have J say Ginger Kiss is a terrible Yeah Oee People quite passionate about them mate. I mean, and apparently I ha' bought them for twenty years, but I've still got a soft spot for them Yeah, well, if see if they were that great, you would have bought them. Maybe maybe you haven't had them since you're an adult And they just seemed like a good idea because every now and again your old girl and Rene would bust her out for someone fancy So that's what we've kind of got ono off the back of it. there' a lot of feedback coming about the ginger kiss hate, but Um just going to The text machine three five two zero of what got bought out at your house when it was fancy time, you know like special guests over. Yeah Clint Boyle who I would go to his house for fancy fancy occasions. His family was one of the families of the district. They basically coached every single football team there. There's thirty two thirty two lads in that family all played top de in football.

Do they still make chitets so Allison on I had a rock phone.

We'll see how my evening and day goes, but I may pick it up. W it By just doing nothing. I think that I've improved ginger gaz. Working title is Ginger Pash. B Wesy Lee, obviously, who has when it comes to ginger kisses in this group is the professional Its really does. all he does. We can help Yeah. Yeah. So if you would like a ginger kiss from Big Westy Lee, then that's maybe the only way that we could improve it anyhay, moving right along. If you are a female aged between I think it's thirty and fifty. There is a man by the name of Sir Benjamin Slade.

Okay. The Bal eago. Once reduced to just four hundred and seventeen nesting pes in all of the lower forty eight states back in the nineteen sixties. crazy Now back at more than three hundred thousand birds, making it one of consonservation's greatest success stories. If you weren't happy with that, humpback whales, we love them. We love to see the migration. They are an animal that has a great affinity to our country as they travel past on their way to Antarctica. Commercial whaling absolutely devastated humpback whale populations during the twentieth century Since then, international prrotections have been introduced and reesearch in Japan has sllowed Many of the populations have recovered to around eighty to ninety percent of their pre whaling numbers.. Tens of thousands now migrating each year. Oh, they have been getting their hump on. Yeah. Southern white rhinos back in the eighteen hundreds were down to less than a hundred animals and now back to seventeen thousand making it Africa's greatest rhino conservation success. The green sea turtle. I thought these bad boys were just in plague proportions.

After anti poaching efforts, the habitat restoration and breeding programs, have managed to get their numbers up I think it's one hundred and twenty percent since numbers was first recorded Wow The Black Robin in New Zealand. Y. This is a wild ar story I was completely unaware of This tiny native bird fell to just Five individuals. in nineteen eighty. Yes. Five including a single breeding female Intensive conservation growown the population to over two hundred and fifty birds, making it one of New Zealand's greatest wildlife recoveries.

But I will ex I find that very hard to believe because it's like like for example, I mentioned like D Say shows and then you get the D Say shows adds pop up on your thing. L it's definitely a thing or the toothpaste we chatted about, right Is it though And this is say for example, I've been searching something. Because often when I'm talking about something and then when I go to Google it on my phone, it's the first thing that pops up as soon as I put like two letters in U So What I noticed was that like There was an incident where the wife of the CE of Instagram thought her phone was getting wiretapped and so I was listening to all their conversations and he had to do a video. He came out and do a video saying Our phones like are not like our app doesn't listen to your phes aren' listen to you So that's good news. The bad news is it doesn't even need to secretly record you. Here's how it's doing it. The algorithms are just so terrifyingly good that they don't even need to listen to you. Every single move you make online leaves a trail. Gis they track exactly what you look at, how many seconds you hover over a post, the exact order in which you scroll and who you interact with. They also track who you hang out with in real life. If you share a desk at work like we do and connect to the same WiFi or stand there and mate with Bluetooth on, their search history can trigger ads on your phone You're probably going to get begin a few f saaunas tonight when you get home because I've been looking at some. Well if I'm gonna leave what you're gonna get is a surprise Thank you. Well, weirdly, one popped up before This would be so weird And was on Facebook marketplace. Yeah And I don't look at the stuff either. it's not my jam. You know me, Mr. Meet and Th vege. Yes. There was Let's just say There was someone that was strapped to a door frame It was held up with le their straps to their arms atast. Well I see what in What it you're doing Turns out they are, listen I can see Wy Westy Lee out there looking rather sheepish and we' she the exact same one as this. I looked at it and I was like Geez, how' that How's the door jam gonna hold up to that? You know what? If I got strapped up there, it wouldn't stand up by the chance, mion a you build don't build. It's not native timber anymore. It'sbody bolser would they build the door jams out of? Yeah in the architrope. I reckon that big WC L' search history involves trsing somebody up like a jke. giants are essentially massive ad agencies disguised as social media to show you how much cash is involved. Google made around five hundred billion dollars off advertising last year, which is bigger than the entire GDP of New Zealand. Every single time you refresh your Instagram feed, a hyper complex digital auction happens in the background in milliseconds. Avertisers are bidding live cash in real time to win the right to show you their next ad. You're still convinced that listening think about the physics of this one. So this is why Ickon it's probably spot on the knot, but it's all the algorithm stuff that is doing the damage Hence Megan served up that weirdly the strap contraaction contraption The sheer computing power and battery life required to covertly record and process audio from billions of phones across the planet twenty for seven would melt the grid M. that's way more than somebody jumping on AI I making it figure out what should have for dinner t night out of what's in your bloody refrigerator Massive financial risk of actually bugging your phone as well if they got caught doing that. Imagine if you got home and Dixie was the one that's been searching and had one all Well, I've got annual leave tomorrow. We calling sick. you know what's happened everyone Coming up with the fellas. I'll show the ad a second. Oh M the visuals on there are absolutely hilarious I need a now. I, no, I need a house of native timber. I can imagine to call Jade sixy, Oh I've got a real situation here. C you come over? I dum I mission. I can't get dumed down from the door He reckon you know how to get out of these knots I said something about you've been a boycout or something. Ohw, sounds feral. I love it. Rock Drive with Jane Dunk. Always give credit. whereere credit is due, Jimmy. Ian I tell you somethingough you're getting angry. I love you. Yeah, you good guy Well, I could explain what's going on, but this guy has a much better job, so I'll let him do it Thousands of ships are currently crossing the ocean with their tracking deliberately switched off, and there's a Kiwi startup whose entire job is finding them. This how works. Almost every legitimate ship broadcasts its position. The ones up to no good that are illegal fishing or smuggling or dodging sanctions, switch that signal off and essentially disappear. The industry calls them dark vessels. The Kiwi company essentially has software that hunts them down and processes more than four thousand vehicle positions every single second, enabling them to flag the ones that are behaving strangely, like two boats meeting in the middle of nowhere to move fish. And the scale is wild. They operate across thirty countries that help protect over eight hundred thousand kilometers of undersea cables. And their customers include New Zealand's own defefense force and Australia's fisheries Authority. The Prime Minister personally opened their headquarters. Illegal fishing alone is thought to cost the world up to fifty billion dollars per year. While everyone else was building another chapot, they built AI for the actual ocean. The company is Starboard Maritime Intelligence How cool is that That is amazing. See that's that's the stories you like to hear about AIA. Yeah Like real world improvements And just like that, getting rid of the wrap bags. I put in star and it popped up straight away on Google. What? Sall try right entter? Yeah justust type in Starbucks. Starlink. No way star seeee how far you have to get into it What's the star what? Starboard. So ST A R B O A. , it comes up when you write starboard Marine time intelligence. Yeah, well done. That's cool, man H difficult to make money of that. They're going to have to have some financial backers somewhere along the lines, but it's bloody good work. You C I've been a vigilant here Yeah, I love it. It's in bus mode the whole time. And it's very safe, you know, you can take these people down without the threat of Yeah having a bunch of Chinese fishermen come up a boats buddy cut your tres and brakes and stab your tres out in your car or something. They in twenty twenty four they got a five million dollars seed funding round. Y there you go. That's going help for a bitn't it You little Bote. The Rock Dve podcast with Jay and Dunk. If you've ever Sold something on Facebook Marketplace or trade me been heavy, you see it all the time. There will be less some will be like need to bring two or three people is it's quite heavy.

Another message here, what happens? We were talking about it yesterday when animals cross you st something it looks expensive. This came through from over in themer over in the United States of America. This is from Aaron Cooper U all the way from Indiana, but And my sixty pound which the twenty kilo pitball tube. Oh yes completely through my house to get outside. Bro, this is so wild. Take your time for this. That's one of the most wild messages of us. I was reading on the fly then He chewed through my house to get outside. So he went through the jibbard. insulation plywood and the siding. the dog created a dog sized hole And one eight hour shift he managed this. like a full stw shank redemption Isn't that amazing They didn' just sell hamster wheels for dogs e? because I'd use them. They do you there's there's a service where basically the person turns up to your house and they've got a treadmill in the back of the thing And they basically just come and hook them up and the dogs just start peeking He gets on and his goes, go go, go, go, go on and it goes and just tears it up. it's not a dumb idea. There's so many people that because now it's impossible just have one person working in your family I and Dana go to w if you got a pet, the poor pets, you know, if mum and out a working chance are that one one of them was doing drop off. So maybe the absolute latest you can be out of the house is eight hundred thirty And then no one's going to be at home until three Ths. There's a big chun of the day where the dogs just doing nothing. I'll have the I'll have this excitement for last drinks And one more piece of light mail I'm just going to throw at you before we wrap this up. We' chated about when you've sold something on marketplace but then you've had to help carry something heavy Yeah. So it's like the buyers purchased it, but then it becomes your problem to move it to whatever they've turned up to moveving away with U Guys, we sold hundreds of bricks on Tadey for a dollar in total ended up costing us thirty bucks buuers turned up with no trolley, barrow nothing. We're gave them thirty bucks with the gloves loan them out trolley and barrow etceta. Absolutely useless. That's from Garth. That would drive me crazy. I'd literally stand there throwing them through their wind stream into their car Oh, sounds feral Drive with Jane Dunk Just a random one. I went in today to Barkers to get my New Zealand stone skimming representative bllazer fitted. Amazing. The team are going with a probably a nineteen sixties Olympic feel Black Marino from the deep south And then white piping that'll go around the outside of it and then Blackstones. Oh my gosh, you's going look amazing. It's going be resplendent and then all of a sudden I get this slide into the DMs. Hi Jam. My name's Austin McCowan. I'm a documentary maker based in Scotland. First off, huge congrats on your win in the New Zealand champs back in May. What a turn for the book. so good I made a film about eight years ago called Snc or Skim for the BBC. I'm working on a new skimming docker and it'd be great to feature your story in there and spend a bit of time with you when you're over in Scotland. Have you got the time one morning or evening for a call, I can tell you a bit about the project and see if you're up for being a part of it. cheheers Austin So you' going to be in a documentary Shes, you can fall into a bucket of shit and come up smelling like roses, couldn't you? Good on you. That is awesome. Yeah. and I had to look at the the single Sim documentary is really, really, really well done It was up for a whole bunch of short film awards around the globe as well, one of those. Really? Y Sundance ones yeess done a great job. so if it's anything like that Um basically focuses on the rivalries and the power people take it seriously and there'saj major figures in it Most of them hate each other. they won't even shake hands Really? Yeah, there's one bloke there that's just punching darts the whole time with a bear in hand who's loved by everyone except this one person who hates him. so he just goes out of his way to beat him every year man Yeah I'll have to give that a watch it sometime. Maybe do that for a us must watch tomorrow on the radio show. It's a very good idea That's so good Jay off to Scotland to represent New Zealand at the world's for stone skimming, which is a ridiculous sentence that won't get any less ridiculous No matter how much we talk about it And a quick special mention to to twenty four year old Canterury golfer.
