We are spiralling over the "Longest Drink in Town" and honestly, my brain hurts. Jeremy’s dad designed the iconic Kiwi giraffe cup, but he hasn't seen a cent from the 120 million cups sold. Is the cup tall? Is the drink long? We also dive into the "Honest Day" hypothetical where no one can lie for 24 hours, and let's just say Dan’s answers about his love life got real awkward, real fast. Wait until you hear our heated debate on the moon landing—Meg is convinced it’s the biggest lie in history. Between killer whales being dolphins and the invention of the internet, we are overthinking absolutely everything today.

One of New Zealand's oldest and biggest food producers could axe 350 jobs and a bunch of beloved Kiwi brands. Heinz Wattie's announced this afternoon it's proposing to discontinue the sale and production of frozen vegetables, Gregg's Coffee and Mediterranean, Just Hummus and Good Taste Company dips.

Clive Mackenzie is CEO of Kiwi Property, the developer transforming New Zealand's "Golden Triangle" through massive urban projects. Clive believes Sylvia Park will be a self-sustaining satellite city within two decades, in line with a global trend of turning shopping centres into massive, mixed-use metropolitan areas that act as giant spending magnets. We break down Kiwi Property’s $3B portfolio, and why they’ve sold off some major assets to double down on "fortress" locations. Hear how they secured the only New Zealand locations for retail icons like Zara and IKEA, and the process of developing an entire town, the 50-hectare, 60,000-resident Drury project. Clive shares why he’s focused on metrics like "sales per square meter", how retail comes down to the survival of the fittest, and why physical stores are thriving thanks to enhanced in-store experiences.

The lads unpack a massive rugby weekend featuring Super Rugby chaos, Blitzboks success, and one of the most entertaining Six Nations rounds in years. We start down south with a Super Rugby check-in after four rounds: the Chiefs quietly looking strong, the Brumbies stumbling late against the Reds, the Crusaders flirting with panic mode, and the Force discovering that scoring points is easy… defending them is not. We also touch on Rugby Australia's latest league convert and what the looming World Cup might mean for player movement. A quick pit stop through Sevens (with the Blitzboks topping the standings) leads into the big news from New Zealand: Dave Rennie vs Jamie Joseph for the All Blacks job and what each candidate could bring to a slightly messy Kiwi setup. A special word for the Lions - 25/26 South African Shield Champions! What an achievement. Then it's time for the main course: Six Nations madness. • Italy shock England for the first time as selection roulette, brain-dead penalties, and general chaos sink Borthwick's men. • Scotland produce one of their best performances in years to hammer France before a late French fightback. • Ireland grind past Wales while Wales continue their slow rebuild. Along the way we discuss the brilliance of Menoncello, the resurgence of Kyle Steyn, whether Ireland have quietly regressed to “occasionally good” territory, and why England's selection decisions might have cost them the tournament. Finally, we preview a wild final weekend where France, Ireland, and Scotland can all still win the Six Nations—and we ask the real question: is there still a way England could somehow end up with the wooden spoon?

One of our best up and coming country music talents is being recognised across the ditch. Zac Griffith is a self-taught musician from Tapawera, near Nelson, and his rise started at the Gold Guitar Awards, which he won in 2023 at the age of 18. He joined Kaylee Bell on tour last year, and got a co-sign from Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson. Griffith told Mike Hosking that Bell has been a big influence and cheerleader for him. “She really has boosted my confidence, especially with taking me on that tour that she did last year,” he explained. “It's, you know, getting the praise from people that you look up to – people that are doing what you want to be doing.” Griffith had won a handful of country music awards before taking home the Gold Guitar, but it was that award that reinforced his path in music. “Winning that really was, was a testament to me, and was, yeah the thing that made me go, okay, I must be doing alright.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's belief not enough children are learning Te Reo to become a bilingual nation. New data shows more than 28,000 students were taught the curriculum through Māori more than half the time last year, 71 percent up on 2000. Māori language advocate Stacey Morrison says 250,000 kids still aren't taught anything in Te Reo - so there's work to do. "I do think it's an 'everybody' thing, not just the teachers who are already there and fluent.

Award-winning journalist Charlotte Glennie's built up a memorable career over the years. As a foreign correspondent, she reported from North Korea, Mongolia, and Russia, she covered monsoon rains in a Bangladesh refugee camp and she witnessed the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people. But before all that, Glennie was in a life-changing accident while in Croatia and lost her footing and fell off a cliff onto rocks below, suffering life-threatening injuries. She's written about all her experiences in a new memoir - Every Second Counts. "There were two things I wanted to do, and for me, they were the pinnacle of a journalism career. One was to be a foreign correspondent and one was to be a political correspondent. And the political one came along very early on...and another theme of the book is just taking opportunities when they come along." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is titled "Eating in season in March."As March arrived, the first tentative signs of spring emerged—longer days, melting snow, and the promise of renewal after winter's grip. The vernal equinox heralds a shift, and with it, the produce world begins to awaken. While hearty winter roots and storage crops still linger, early spring arrivals like asparagus and artichokes make their debut, often from warmer regions like California, bringing vibrant green freshness to markets. In the Northeast, local harvests remain limited this early, so many of March's stars arrive via longer supply chains, yet their peak-season quality shines through. This transitional month bridges the end of citrus dominance with the first tender shoots of the new season, inviting us to blend comforting roasts with lighter, brighter dishes that anticipate warmer weather.Fruits in March continue to draw heavily from winter citrus, now at their sweetest and juiciest after months on the tree, alongside tropical options that feel like a preview of summer. Blood oranges, with their striking maroon flesh and berry-like notes, reach a crescendo—select heavy fruits with taut, richly colored skin free of soft spots, store them in the refrigerator's crisper for up to two weeks, and use their vivid segments in salads, drizzle the juice over yogurt, or reduce into a glossy glaze for roasted meats. Grapefruit, often sweeter now, feel plump and heavy when ripe; refrigerate them whole and enjoy them halved with a sprinkle of sugar, or supreme them into ceviche for a tart wake-up. Kiwi, fuzzy and nutrient-dense, yields slightly to pressure when ripe—keep at room temperature until ripe, then chill and slice into fruit bowls or blend into green smoothies for a vitamin C punch. Mandarins and tangerines, easy-peeling and seedless in wide varieties, choose firm ones without bruises; store loosely in a bowl or in the fridge, and pop them as snacks or scatter them over grain bowls. Pineapple, entering peak from March onward, select ones with golden hues, fragrant bases, and a slight give—store upside down at room temperature for a day to distribute sugars, then refrigerate cut pieces and grill rings for dessert, or chop into salsa for a tropical twist.Turning to vegetables, asparagus heralds spring's arrival with slender, tender spears that snap crisply—look for bright green stalks with tightly closed tips, avoiding any limp or woody ones; wrap the ends in a damp paper towel and refrigerate upright in a jar of water like flowers, for up to a week. Steam or roast them simply with olive oil and lemon to highlight their grassy sweetness, or shave raw into salads for crunch. Leafy greens like arugula, spinach, and mustard greens emerge tender—opt for crisp, unwilted bunches; keep them in damp towels in the fridge and toss them into salads or wilt them into soups. Beets and parsnips carry over from winter—firm, smooth roots store best in the crisper; roast beets for earthy salads or puree parsnips into silky soups. Leeks, mild and oniony, rinse thoroughly to remove grit; choose firm stalks, store chilled, and slice into potato soups or braise as a side.Artichokes, globe-shaped and spiky, demand firm, heavy globes with tightly packed leaves—trim stems and store in the fridge wrapped in plastic; steam whole and dip leaves in garlic butter, or stuff hearts into pasta for an elegant side. Broccoli and broccolini thrive in cooler weather—choose firm, dark-green heads with no yellowing; store in a perforated bag in the crisper, and roast florets with garlic or stir-fry tender stems for quick meals. Brussels sprouts, if still available, pick tight, vibrant ones; refrigerate and halve for roasting with balsamic to caramelize their edges.

While she stays strictly away from the tasting, she provides an unfiltered look at the packaging and branding. Does a bright blue bottle with a lightning bolt scream "Sophisticated Adult" or "Teenager's Secret Stash"? Her verdict might surprise you.It's not all fun and neon tongues. We take a terrifying deep dive into the sugar content and calorie counts of these liquid desserts. We'll break down exactly how much damage one bottle of "Blue" does to your health goals.In a move that defies both logic and medical advice, we finish the episode by mixing every single drink on the table into one glass.

LISTEN ABOVE OR IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE NEW ZEALAND - LISTEN BELOW Racing Bulls driver Liam Lawson is not having “fun” in his new car, but is excited to see what the new Formula One season brings. Melbourne hosts the first Grand Prix of the year this weekend, and the Kiwi driver had some productive practice sessions ahead of his second full season in the competition but is still getting to grips with his car. Speaking on Mike Hosking Breakfast, Lawson said his new car is not “super fun” to drive yet. “In some ways the car moves around quite a bit more and it depends on how you look at it - that can be more enjoyable. “But obviously we're trying to extract every bit of lap time out of the car and in some ways it feels like you can't attack as much as you could in the past when you had a lot more downforce.” The cars have become smaller and lighter in an attempt to enable improved racing. Racing Bulls' 2026 Formula One car in pre-season testing. Photo / AFP “They do feel a little bit smaller,” Lawson said, “a little bit more playful to drive. “But I think the main reason for that is just because we have a significant amount of aero taken off the car. “When you have a car that's extremely high downforce, it's designed to push through the air in a straight line. As soon as you start sliding the car, you lose a lot of that downforce because you start to hit the air on an angle with your yaw and it basically upsets the car massively.” The Kiwi driver said his team was surprised at how good the power units have been, but felt engine reliability is going to play a big factor with some teams struggling at the start of the season. Liam Lawson for Racing Bulls in Formula One's pre-season testing. Photo / Red Bull When asked about his own chances, Lawson felt he had learned a lot from last year and felt it was important he was able to “survive” it. “I'm grateful to have done that and feel a lot better going into this year, but just because of new cars and new regulations it sort of throws a whole new thing in there that is quite unknown.” Despite the issues with the cars, Lawson said he was looking forward to the new season starting. “On a personal level, I feel very comfortable and excited for the season, but, in a lot of ways obviously with these new cars, there's a lot of unknowns.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
