Okay, immediately looks like a samurai or something he does
in a long brain man just walk past the studio.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
When very distracting. Not the most.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Distracting thing we've seen outside the studio window.

A couple of things, one or two things.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Get the fluffy ones, I don't know the name or
when it's that cumulus plane.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
Yeah, those are good one.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
And when it's like what about the one sheet? Generally
get them in summer and a really fine day and
it's like like like ripple ripples and you can just
see through it.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
But when you can see layers of clouds moving in
the opposite direction.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. That slaps. Clouds are great.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Clouds are cool, Okay, And if you don't think clouds
are cool, then you're a fool because clouds are cool.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Ah today and kick off cloud Week.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Is this amazing fact at any given time, sixty seven
percent of the Earth's surface is covered by clouds. Well,
two thirds of the Earth is covered by clouds at
any given time.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Wow, because there's so much water and weathering starts in
the atmosphere. Ye, yeah, so much water and weather and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
And you know over the oceans, only ten percent of
the oceans aren't covered by cloud wow.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, lots of clouds.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
So when we actually have like a blue sky and
day not in the sky very.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Rear, very very rare, especially in New Zealand because where
we are the land of the long white cloudy end
of the long right clouds eld. But it's because we're
so close to the ocean, because clouds if they hit
the land, like you think of a massive land mask,
like America or Russia in the middle so far from
the sea, even Australia. Yeah, in the middle, they'd get
more blue sky days because the clouds run out before

(02:22):
they get there.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah yeah, whereas.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
We're so skinny we are got New Zealand go away.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
But we are.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
We're so slender that it's like we're all always near water,
so we'll always get got clouds.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Right.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, that's really fascinating.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So if you and I've wondered why before, you look
up Google Maps and you can see that even on
your street or something or in your area, you can
see that the map was taken on too entirely different days. Yeah,
sometimes one will be taken away. The ticket is green,
and it's like, oh, that must have been like spring
or or winter. And then you get somewhere it's like

(03:02):
parched brown. You're like, that must have been in summer,
because they only obviously take those when there's no clouds
in the sky. Yeah, because that's how they're So that's
why it could go over your neighborhood and the place
you know a few streets over might get an updated
Google Maps, but maybe not next door because there was
cloud on that specific part, which I.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Was just like, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, Oh I just saw that our Google Maps is
updated on our house.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Where's it at? Mine's about eighteen months behind. I reckon,
Mine's like real reason, Oh, there's Google streets.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Have you seen the Google can't drive past? It's pretty weird.
It's so many cameras.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, that's new. That's that's sort of where we're at now.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Oh no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Those curtains are Oh yeah, maybe with them the last year.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
But what at the satellite view? How do I do it?
You just go to Google maps and things.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I mean, we could probably do this at another time.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
The magic of technology, hang on. You can do it
anytime we want. For some reason, it seems more special now.
It's like we you own back in the day when
you owned a CD, but it was always bitter to
hear that song on the radio because you're having a
sheet experience of other people listening to the radio, and
that that's why radio is magic. And you can have
that sheet experience right now on iHeart Radio.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
The ad that's right right.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
For the first KMPI over the week peop.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Satellite view is very very old press by really cloudy.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Our KPIs have changed. It's not a jit ski anymore.
It's a multi food processor.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Oh my god, this mine's getting old. That's way for
brand kitchen aid.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
No, I don't know. I think it's might be a
kin something and maybe a good stuff the fry.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
That's write that down.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Because we want to get the food process.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Yeah yeah, someone else. Oh why is it a competition
to who can get the KPIs the cookers. Well, they
haven't said that. I'm going to triple down to my KPIs. Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
You fantastic as a team.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I came up with an idea for KPIs. The weekend
is going to cost the company one thousand dollars okay.
And also, like endless nineteens man benefits of this KPI
idea of him working with you as an honor and
it's a privilege. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Fact of the day, and the first for cloud work
is that at any given time, sixty seven percent of
the advance two thirds of this beautiful blue marble that
we're living on floating through space insignificantly not meant anything
to the wider universe whatsoever. At any given time, sixty
seven percent of the Earth is covered by clouds
