SPEAKER_2 (0:30)

Ugh, I hate Mondays.

SPEAKER_1 (0:32)

King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Swirl Bite?

SPEAKER_2 (0:33)

Taylor Hanson? Sure, I'll try one.

SPEAKER_1 (0:36)

Mmm.

Harrison Keefe (0:39)

Hey, let's get back to work, please.

SPEAKER_2 (0:40)

But Taylor Hanson's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.

Harrison Keefe (0:45)

Taylor Hanson?

SPEAKER_1 (0:46)

Nice. Try one.

Harrison Keefe (0:48)

Mmm.

SPEAKER_2 (0:52)

King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.

SPEAKER_5 (1:04)

Wow, welcome.

Harrison Keefe (1:08)

If you're watching the video podcast right now, if the video works, we're at Splash Planet.

Yas Coe (1:12)

Look at the lazy river literally behind us. How fun is that?

Harrison Keefe (1:15)

This is a hawk on New Zealand's only water park in Hawke's Bay, Hastings. We're doing the show live for me today. We're filming some content.

SPEAKER_5 (1:22)

Hawke's Bay is also your hometown.

Yas Coe (1:27)

Guys, we're literally 10 meters away from Harrison's High School.

Harrison Keefe (1:31)

Yeah. And when we started driving from the airports to Splash Planet today, Yas, when we got into Hastings, was like, you're from here. I was like, yes. She goes, you walked these streets?

Yas Coe (1:44)

Not in a mean way.

Cal Payne (1:45)

So you grew up here?

Yas Coe (1:47)

I just, I don't know.

I just, it's cool when you see one of your best friends hometowns. I actually couldn't quite believe it.

Harrison Keefe (1:55)

I don't think I'm going to feel that when I go to Nelson.

Yas Coe (1:57)

No, you will.

Harrison Keefe (1:57)

You grew up here?

Yas Coe (1:59)

I also think it's because you were so chill, being looking around, being like, yeah, whatever, kind of grew up here. Whereas when we go to Nelson, I'm going to be like, and that was where I had my first kiss.

Harrison Keefe (2:07)

I'll be honest with you, I was consciously making an effort not to do that.

Yas Coe (2:10)

You were trying to be chill.

Harrison Keefe (2:11)

I knew you would do that as well.

I was pretty low-key when we saw Cool's Dairy. I'm like, Cool's Dairy over there? Yeah. All that chips.

Yas Coe (2:17)

Shut up, Cool's Dairy. We got the chips. They were delightful.

Harrison Keefe (2:21)

I always go on to people around New Zealand, when they come to Hawke's Bay, I'm always like, Cool's chips are the best chips in the country. The best hot chips in the country.

Cal Payne (2:28)

Which is also a massive call. I mean, the amount of different places and people that make hot chips. It's like, that's a big call.

SPEAKER_4 (2:36)

But I agree.

Yas Coe (2:38)

I'm going to say it, very good.

Cal Payne (2:43)

If you're watching the video podcast, if that's working right now, this is the box as well. Pretty cool box.

Harrison Keefe (2:47)

We're having cold ones.

SPEAKER_4 (2:49)

That's how much we love this.

Harrison Keefe (2:50)

They're so good.

Yas Coe (2:51)

I was scoffing them before. I was like, come on, put it away. Put it away. Time for this podcast.

Harrison Keefe (2:55)

It's been a crazy diet today. We've been swimming and running around all day and all we've been eating is hot chips. And talk about the Hawke's Bay delicacy.

Yas Coe (3:04)

Well, we tried a meatball for the first time. And for all of our international pals, you definitely won't know what this is because we're from New Zealand and Cal and I had never had a meatball. It's like a Hawke's Bay specific thing.

Cal Payne (3:14)

Now, when you hear meatball, you just think of like a bowl of meat that you have in like a spaghetti or like a meatball pasta or something. No, very different.

Yas Coe (3:23)

Yeah, it's like a... Well, I don't know what meat it is.

Harrison Keefe (3:26)

I don't think you question what meat it is.

SPEAKER_2 (3:28)

Oh no. Oh no.

Harrison Keefe (3:29)

Well, it's like minced up, I reckon it's minced up offcats. It's like a nugget. You know chicken nugget, you don't know what that is.

Yas Coe (3:34)

But the nugget is solid. This was liquid.

Harrison Keefe (3:37)

It's a bit soggy. I think it will be bits of meat.
