And I was like, it's not gonna break my spirit.
I will prosper to kind of have those nights.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah, yeah, and you know you push the boat out
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
You're trying to get to produce a Taylor's house.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
We had to sleep over at her house, Producer Grace
and I.
Speaker 4 (01:23):

to get into her house. Are you to give it, Grace,
I'm a mob wife.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Ouch.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
Turn off a light and in turn irresponsible child when
I'm drunk.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I love how you found extra syllables and words
that didn't even know we're there.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
You really announced it like we all walked on.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Booze.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
You're like really trying hard, and you think and you're here,
You're like, I am knowling this, and then later you
know It's like when you're the sober one at a
party and people talk, you're like, oh my god, they're
really smash.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
But you hear when you're the drunks and you're.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Like, fine, going to wrap your mouth around those words
to talk fell in the garden. I'm glad you had
a good night. That's the main thing. That's the main thing. Now, listen, world, World,
We've found some interesting plans underneath. The Playboy mentioned, So
(02:57):
Playboy magazine h hiff knows the under wasn't he.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Like, it's really taken a turn that whole. You know,
for a while it was probably a prestigious thing. The
Playboy mentioned. The more you find kind of find out
about the way people were treated there and things like
that over the years, it's kind of and things that
went on, you're like, it makes you feel a little.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Bit like glamorous.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
But for a while there it seemed like, you know,
people or the celebrities wanted to go. It seemed from
the outside looking in that celebrities wanted to be all
these parties there. But now you look about like maybe
not everyone wanted to be at these parties.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Well, some clearly didn't want to be seen going into
the parties because there were secret underground tunnels to neighboring
properties which were owned by very famous movie star Sir
Jack Nicholson Beck and his heydo quite the pants man
je Quite. I think he's publicly said he's slept with thousands.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
See the one too.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Also that had to band himself from using the internet
or on as Fine because he was like, I was
just looking at so much pornography.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
I just I think, so I'm gonna it's just yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Jene Nicholson banned himself from sitting courtside after spilling tap
of homemade chili onto the Lakers course.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Okay, well maybe I've just made it up.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
He takes your own te homemade chili to the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well he loves the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, yeah right, so yes, so he was banned from
some court side.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Maybe I've just made that up.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
That needs to be a phone and topic on the show.
Yeah what are you taking?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
What are you sneaking in? And you tap away your container?
But you know, so, Jack Nicholson was in a neighboring
house and there were secret underground tunnels to his house.
There's another actor, Warren Beattie. Uh, he was also quite
the Pantsman apparently secret tunnel to his house straight through
to the Playboy mention.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Well that's dangerous, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I suppose it probably makes sense if you're the name,
if you're a celebrity as well. Yeah, there's a whole
it's interesting the tunnel situation. Have you ever seen that
there's a docco in Las Vegas. There's a whole lot
of people. I think they call them like the mole
or something like that, but there's like thousands of people
live under the cea of Las Vegas and tunnels.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
There's this whole under No, I've watched this.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Whole doc go on it it's yeah, it's actually really
there's the whole Vegas tunnel and there's like almost there's
like thousands, it's like probably fifteen hundred people or a
couple thousand.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
People, the mole, people living beneath the Las Vegas Strip.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
They've got a whole little society they're living under the tunnels.
I think they were a previous from memory, they were
like tunnels that are no longer being used for, whether
it's sewerage or water is now but yeah, from memory,
But yeah, it's a really fascinating thing.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
They live all under the thing.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah you need.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Light tunnel dwellers that live under there. Yeah, it's a document.
I watched it years ago, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I think that, Yeah, it sounds familiar. There's like dozens
of them.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Yeah yeah, oh wait, they're like, you don't say homeless people,
you say, well, it's homeless people.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, but they've kind of created their own little society
under their and they're kind.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Of that's where they were to tunnel. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I choose to love some of them from memory work
as well. And then they kind of just go down
there for their accommodation and stuff, and they've created this
whole thing sheltered.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Old people live under there, like yeah, some guys got.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Attle stuff, like the term mole people.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Well, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, you've now got inside his head.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
There was the coot.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
There was the coolest thing in mastering.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
They had this amazing like a Queen Elizabeth Park. They
had this tunnel section, which was cooled. These really cool
tunnels used to play in, but then very quickly ended
up with teenagers passion in there, people peeing in there.
It went from the coolest thing to like, yeah, to like,
and you never know. As a kid it was I
guess it was part of the excitement. You'd be like
(06:44):
crawling around this tunnel, all these Mazer tunnels. You'll be like,
what am I going to encounter?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah? Going to see someone passion?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah, what's going to happen here? But yeah, it was
very cool.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I don't think they exist anymore in Mastering either. I
don't think anyone was living in there or anything. But yeah,
it was one of the one of my one of
the things I remember from my childhood.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Take quick break, will be back after this, Welcome back.
What's the coolest tunnel you've been in? Is the cool tunnel?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It was?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yeah, it's pretty cool tunnel.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I quite like.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Going there's the tunnel at the end of the there's
the motorway, the new tunnel. There's nice tunnel, a new tunnel.
It's a bit of tunnel. Okay, that's very mainstream.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
What's the one I like the South Island? Is it
the tunnel? Isn't it really long?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I do like the Mount Victoria one in Wellington. You know,
it sort of goes between me. If you go from
the airport just towards the Basin Reserve there. It's one
of the ones you like you go through and a
lot well I like to you know, you toot your horn.
But having walked through there to go the cricket once
and when people too, the hon Jesus is loud, Yeah,
freaking loud, and you're like, you think twice now about
turning turning your horn, and so you do that, did it?
(07:49):
And you hope someone else will well, you know, reply back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I'm trying to find audio. I took the kids
through a tunnel at Christmas time and jeez, telling you
there was a lot of care. There's about ten kids.
Will you take kids into a tunnel? They're like, it
was yeah, it was in the Corimandle. Actually it was
a good tunnel. Gold mining town. What's the gold mining
town there?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
What's it called? On your way to that starts with
w oh gold mining town. Let me have a look.
Why why is that you can go on a big,
big tour of the old gold mines okay without gurgling.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The longest tunnel in the world, the Road tunnel. How
long do you think it would take to pass through
the tunnel? How many minutes?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Ten?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Are you counting by train train tunnels or is it
a road tunnel, because I'm thinking, isn't that the tunnel
that goes from Paris to London.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
No, this is one that's not one. This is one
you can drive through. Yeah, because there's one through the
channel something in it.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
It's dark for a very long time channel.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Okay, So were you ten minutes you think, John, what
are you guessing to go through? Longest tunnel to drive through?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Did you say ten minutes? Yeah, twenty twenty minutes.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
That's in Norway. Just think about that takes twenty minutes
to past the tunnel. Six case, that's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Like how long it is.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
It's the longest drive the tunnel to drive through in
the world.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Marvel of engineering tunnel is twenty four So twenty four
point five kilometers.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Oh yeah, oh sorry, the lights is lights bright lights
every sex case. So yeah, twenty four k's just tune.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Here's the kids in the key. Oh yeah, and that one,
that one went for a kilometer.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, you just want to make noise inside out and yeah,
a ca for a tunnel.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I know, the Waterview tunnel is really long.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
But down near the Southern Alps, the Tierna tunnel that
I talked about it's eight is that thousand eight five
six six? That's eight thousand, five and six six. It
was a big night last night. But that's the one
that have you ever been through that You try and
hold your breath.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To the end, pasted out children in the hold your
over a bridge and over a tunnel. A tunnel wasn't
the Yeah, some long bridges as well. Dam would always
slow down just a little bit when me and my
sister were doing it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, But the tunnel the most recent we're talking about there,
they got a machine specifically made for it in US, Yes,
and it dug the whole automatically shipped the dirt out
and then would place the concrete in the circular motion
around the top of the tunnel. Incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Is that kind of what they're doing with the new
rail system that they're building and that kind of the same.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Something water tunnel boring machine And I think it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Was only boring and it was only designed for that tunnel.
We can't do any other tunnels. Oh, you know what
happens to alice dismantled.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Because you're a little bit emotional and hungover.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
That's why you know, when they opened that tunnel, and
like beforehand you could do a walk through, even the
one in the city.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
What's the face wonder did.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You do do the walk through?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I don't love tunnels that much.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, did you know? But I worked with I.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Worked with people who actually did I I did a
walk through some engineering because I always to work with
those walk through There was hundreds of people.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
People love that. The nerds love that. It was boring
as yeah, Alison's boring machine.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I will do it to appease you. It was boring.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
I never walked through that.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
So, yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Pretty good.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Looks the same when you're driving, it's a lot longer.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, but yeah, I've banged on about this before. But
I remember Dad saying, because we lived in the Wider
Upper you know, to Wellington, you have to go through
the Mttucka, you know, like it's.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
A windy road. It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And when my dad was late for a flight, Jesus
would feel sick of the back as he's gone talking
about it, I'd be like on the bank of other
cars because we're running, Like but Americans pay back in
the wall. Apparently they offered to build a tunnel through
to Wellington and for some reason, what up Like now
we're good, we're good, we'll do it ourselves. Never never,
It apparently like every time I was like, man, we could.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Have a tunnel Americans.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, like we'll do it, and then we're like no, no, no, no,
we've got we've got it. You don't clearly wanted to
do it. How long ago was the war? You know,
a long time ago.

Yeah? Going to see someone passion?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Yeah, what's going to happen here? But yeah, it was
very cool.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I don't think they exist anymore in Mastering either. I
don't think anyone was living in there or anything. But yeah,
it was one of the one of my one of
the things I remember from my childhood.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Take quick break, will be back after this, Welcome back.
What's the coolest tunnel you've been in? Is the cool tunnel?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It was?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yeah, it's pretty cool tunnel.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I quite like.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Going there's the tunnel at the end of the there's
the motorway, the new tunnel. There's nice tunnel, a new tunnel.
It's a bit of tunnel. Okay, that's very mainstream.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
What's the one I like the South Island? Is it
the tunnel? Isn't it really long?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I do like the Mount Victoria one in Wellington. You know,
it sort of goes between me. If you go from
the airport just towards the Basin Reserve there. It's one
of the ones you like you go through and a
lot well I like to you know, you toot your horn.
But having walked through there to go the cricket once
and when people too, the hon Jesus is loud, Yeah,
freaking loud, and you're like, you think twice now about
turning turning your horn, and so you do that, did it?
(07:49):
And you hope someone else will well, you know, reply back.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, I'm trying to find audio. I took the kids
through a tunnel at Christmas time and jeez, telling you
there was a lot of care. There's about ten kids.
Will you take kids into a tunnel? They're like, it
was yeah, it was in the Corimandle. Actually it was
a good tunnel. Gold mining town. What's the gold mining
town there?

w oh gold mining town. Let me have a look.
Why why is that you can go on a big,
big tour of the old gold mines okay without gurgling.

long do you think it would take to pass through
the tunnel? How many minutes?
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Ten?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
Are you counting by train train tunnels or is it
a road tunnel, because I'm thinking, isn't that the tunnel
that goes from Paris to London.

you can drive through. Yeah, because there's one through the
channel something in it.

are you guessing to go through? Longest tunnel to drive through?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Did you say ten minutes? Yeah, twenty twenty minutes.
Speaker 5 (09:10):

to past the tunnel. Six case, that's.

Like how long it is.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
It's the longest drive the tunnel to drive through in
the world.

point five kilometers.

I talked about it's eight is that thousand eight five
six six? That's eight thousand, five and six six. It
was a big night last night. But that's the one
that have you ever been through that You try and
hold your breath.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
To the end, pasted out children in the hold your
over a bridge and over a tunnel. A tunnel wasn't
the Yeah, some long bridges as well. Dam would always
slow down just a little bit when me and my
sister were doing it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yeah, But the tunnel the most recent we're talking about there,
they got a machine specifically made for it in US, Yes,
and it dug the whole automatically shipped the dirt out
and then would place the concrete in the circular motion
around the top of the tunnel. Incredible.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Is that kind of what they're doing with the new
rail system that they're building and that kind of the same.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Something water tunnel boring machine And I think it.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Was only boring and it was only designed for that tunnel.
We can't do any other tunnels. Oh, you know what
happens to alice dismantled.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Because you're a little bit emotional and hungover.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
That's why you know, when they opened that tunnel, and
like beforehand you could do a walk through, even the
one in the city.
Speaker 4 (11:08):

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, did you know? But I worked with I.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
Worked with people who actually did I I did a
walk through some engineering because I always to work with
those walk through There was hundreds of people.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
People love that. The nerds love that. It was boring
as yeah, Alison's boring machine.
Speaker 4 (11:35):

I remember Dad saying, because we lived in the Wider
Upper you know, to Wellington, you have to go through
the Mttucka, you know, like it's.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
A windy road. It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And when my dad was late for a flight, Jesus
would feel sick of the back as he's gone talking
about it, I'd be like on the bank of other
cars because we're running, Like but Americans pay back in
the wall. Apparently they offered to build a tunnel through
to Wellington and for some reason, what up Like now
we're good, we're good, we'll do it ourselves. Never never,
It apparently like every time I was like, man, we could.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Have a tunnel Americans.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Yeah, like we'll do it, and then we're like no, no, no, no,
