introducing my panelists and getting into it with them, and
I'll be looking forward to introducing them in just a moment,
but looking ahead to later in the show when, as
you know, we take your calls on eight hundred and
eighty ten to eighty, the one ref Radio Show. We
have a new guest on the show. She's from LJ.
Hookerhead of operations. It's Elaine Burkett. And look, interest rates
(01:27):
that being held low? Why aren't people pouring back into
the market. And if Iran doesn't, if I ran Iran, Iran,
I don't know. It doesn't impact house prices than what does.
And we'll be looking into those questions at four o'clock
and taking new calls and at five o'clock for the
parents squad. Google Sutherland another favor of ours on the
Parents Squad. He's a psychologist that umbrella well being. Are
(01:49):
parents too concerned with keeping their kids busy? You know
it's the holidays, It's not got to keep them busy
doing this all. That's what's the power of boredom? Sounds
like something which in the eighties people would have been
shock feed to save it. The power of boredom anyway,
And how do parents manage that whole holiday leave thing?
When you kids got a holiday, but you know you've
used yours up in the summer. So we're taking your
course on eight hundred eighty ten to eighty and shortly
(02:11):
before six the sports rap Christopher Reeve otherwise known by
me as Superman. We've got a lot to get through.
We've got Mawana pacifica Chiefs, Fiji and drew a Force, Hurricanes, Blues, Reds, Crusaders,
Warriors and storm. We might not get through on all
of that. But Chris Reckins, well, he's got a hot
take on the Warriors for this weekend, and if you're
a Warriors fan, it's not good. Uh eight hundred and
(02:34):
eighty ten eighty, that's just right. It's just we're taking
your course. That's I weren't taking a course in the
sports rap. What am I talking about? But we are
looking forward to your company over the next three hours.
This is the Weekend Collective. It is eight minutes past three.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Your Weekend, Your Way, The Weekend Collective with Tim Beveridge,
News Talk Zevy, Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And time to introduce our panel. And he well, he's
been all sorts of things, actually, Luke Dallo, he's but
currently he's in his business at ties. A lovely looking
well fitted shirt there. He looks like he's come straight
from the auction lot. Luke, Hello, how are you a
real estate agent? Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well with a new gig. Yes, I've just joined Bailey's.
They've picked me up, which is fantastic and a great
little company there. They actually sponsored the morning show and
they should actually do one for you here. They should.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I didn't realize you were so posh because Bailey's is
quite that's a bit boogie.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
He must be at the bottom of the yeld power.
I'll work myself up, but you know I am the
man about town and matter of property. Luke Dello, I.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Give it to me in the script form and we'll
have that worked up for the intro for your show.
And Look, my next guest is Look. She's been a
lot of things as well. She's been a journalist. She
currently I think she still is a journalist. She's a
bit of a pr hussey. She was okay with me
saying that. But the most interesting thing about her at
the moment for me, and I can't get away from it,
(03:57):
is how you spell her last name. It used to
been much easier to say Shrimpton, but now it's it's
this is easier to say, but guess how you spell
it's Wilhelmine or Keith with.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
My favorite part of the weekend is listening to your intro.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought you were going to say your favorite part
is me trying to spell your name because it's got too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Fs in it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah. So I've spent my life trying to teach people
how to spell my first name, and then now I
have the lovely task of teaching people how to spell
my second name. So it's of apostrophe K double e,
double f one e. That's how I remember it, Like
a little song.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is oh no, because when you say double f
one e, I think that's a joke way of saying
that the one is an I. So I'm going to
call you Wilhelmina O'Keefe. That's quite cute too.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It's a nice way to remember it.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's always good to be careful how to say a name,
isn't it exactly?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So pronunciation is key And thanks for the pr hussy
shout out. I like to call myself a slashy, a slashy,
you know, like a PR person, slash journalist, slash broadcaster,
slash mc slash.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now, if you wonder why we love if I said
something just just with their papers towards her face, but
she wasn't holding them all and she turned her notes
into a hat.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It was right.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No one, No one can tell you until you told them.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Soon we're going to have someone who's doing all the
social media stuff and I'll just be able to time
code that and say, let's put that on a social
media where.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Jack of all trades. It's a female version of that.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
The Jane of all Trade.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh is it? I don't know, doesn't have the same ring.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I don't know. They're all rounded out the slash diversification Jillian, Yes,
what are you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And the new Boy?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But Bailey's I'm just the master of property.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Luke makes coffee.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Can add breaksting sitting next to me right now?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Okay, that's enough. Next note, send him a bill Next time.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
He mentioned the real estate agent free pr.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Hey, Now, I'm I do feel that we need to
be quite responsible with this because Cyclone Vayana is on
its way. We have had okay, I would wouldn't be
acknowledging anything that everyone's not saying. That warnings have been
broad and wide sweeping, and look who knows where it's
(06:20):
going to hit, because it's a thing that I do
get the feeling that, you know, the last thing any
of anyone responsible wants to do is what happened on
Anniversary weekend three years ago when people got flooded and
they had no idea what was coming. So I think
we're covering our bases. But I will say the one
thing I thought was peculiar is that the New Zealand
Herald has a what to pack in an emergency? Okay,
(06:41):
so obviously you know you might want your first aid
with your medicine antiseptic cremes. You might want some non
perishable food. I agree with that. You want some fresh water.
I guess you want a torch and spear batteries. We're
all ticking these. We're all got smiles around the studio.
Warm items such as blankets and sleeping bags. Okay, that's
really if you're going to have to move important documents
such as your passport, birth and marriage certificates, what are they?
(07:05):
I think it's because when you go to check into
the emergency accommodation, they go, okay, right, what you want
to sleep in the same room? Where's your marriage certificate? Right?
You go left, mister beverage, and you go right, okay,
because no marriag certificate?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
What do you need your marriage and it's for it's
very World War two showership papers.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean it's very strange.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Passport, birth and marriage certificate.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I can understand a passport for identity's sake, chicken into
a rescue center. Perhaps, I mean driver's license would do surely,
I don't know what's your marriage certificate? What's the new
way to date?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Thing is you would be okay because you carry yours everywhere.
She's so proud to be married. I reckon if I said, come.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
On, I've got my driver's license in my.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Phone, you've got your marriage certificate.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
With you, and.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Give me one second now, though, I mean, it's difficult
to pass much comment on this except to hope that
I hope that the warnings have been for everyone over
stated because we don't want to see anyone.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, the people in zones where they've had a
pounding with floods on the East coast and things fingers
crossed day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But can I just say one thing about the warnings.
I love the warnings right now we've been talking about
since Thursday, and my dear people in the hospitality industry
all wrung me up, said we if they had thirty
five percent cancelations on a Friday night because of the warnings,
because we didn't know when the weather is coming. I
don't mind if the weather's coming like today, but put
the warnings out. I'll let people know, but not hysteria.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You would have been almost hard. I know what you
mean that you almost would have been hard picked if
you just said to someone randomly, hey, when's the storm
actually going to arrive? Because it had it did seem
to come quite early. But of course if you need
to stock up with anything, you do need those early warnings.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
The difficulty is is that authority is are damned if
they do when they damned if they don't. They're going
to get criticized if they don't put out the warnings
really really early. And they're probably going to get criticized
if they did put out the warnings really early and
it's not as big as we expected. And I think
the thing we do have to remember as well as
that there are a lot of communities that were so
sheltered from the last couple of storms, particularly this year,
shut on Brow. So I think everyone is on tinderhooks
(09:11):
and we're five years ago we might have gone. You know,
I'm not going to cancel my Friday night bogging when
it's meant to hit on Sunday. They're going, actually, or
I need to cancel because I need to sand bag
my house, or I need to prepare the furniture. I
need to do that. And I think people would much
rather be having dinner on a Friday night, I'm sure,
but it's it's it's their preparedness, right, and the feeling
of feeling really fragile.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I suppose I did get a bit of wind burnt
today watching my son play Rugby earlier.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
It was quite yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there is there
is that kind of there is that kind of hectic
kind of energy in the air though. Right driving over
the bridge today when I came to see you guys
going to do the panel.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Why we've got a love on the panel. We've got Blueco's.
You know, I need some convincing, a chapstick or something.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Everything. Might have that in my handbag next to my
marriage certificate.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm already already cheered up just by you guys. Look
for everyone who's in an area where you need to,
you know, just do pay attention to the public health
warnings and take them seriously, okay, because.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
We know it gives your bloody fright though.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And now the Yeah, one of our journalists was on
the loo and and somebody else and the next cubicle.
They both went off in a very resonant chamber and
I think you know.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Were you in there as well?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I know the middle.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Came out and reported on the front.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Okay, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, I don't generally hang it. We don't have unisex toilets.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It breaks through any do not disturb the warning, not
the toilet, the warning breaks through any Just do not
disturb or silence or whatever. Because I'm going to say,
if you've got if you're on air, you must hear
it when it comes through. You probably have a couple
more come through.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We would have one. My phone would go off.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Ye, regardless of if it's a do not disturb silent must.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It did trigger me a bit, Yeah, because you're a
bit of nerve. A tsunami is coming. That's what I
think when I hear it, That's what I do feel like.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I just hope that the warning has gone to everyone's phone,
because I know they had some issues last time with
it going to select.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just hope that. I just hope people that you
know who are going to be drastically affected everyone's you know,
managed to make the preparations they have, and that you're
all going to be okay, and we all think of
you in that respect, and hopefully you know it's none
of us your fingers crossed anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Hey, look onto.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I do love the artemist too thing. And I spoke
to one of our journalists who was listening, watching and
listening live to the process when they go blank and
you don't you can't hear them, and then they touch
base of them. In fact, I think we've got some
foot have we got some audio for the Let's just
just warm ours out up into and set the scene
(12:07):
for the splashdown of the.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Artemis splashdown confirmed at seven oh seven pm Central Time
five oh seven pm Pacific Time. From the pages of
Jules vern to a modern day mission to the Moon,
a new chapter of the Exploration of our celestial neighbor
is complete. Integrity's astronauts back on our Yes, something I
prepared earlier.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
That guy, you can hear it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah. But you know what I love about this is
I think that these the ability for mankind to do
what we can. We've flown literally around you know, the Moon,
and okay, we landed on decades ago. But the fact
that we have these aspirations, I look at it and
(12:58):
I just think it's the finest of humanity in a way.
The teamwork, knowledge above all science. You don't get there
by reading the tea leaves. You get there by science
and what works, and then we're you know, it's such
a lovely contrast to you know, to other things politically speaking,
isn't it. It's just the fin It's one of the
(13:20):
finer things. What do you think, Willemina.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's been such a lovely piece of escapism, I think
through it all and it's been this wonderful kind of
positive story. And we're all hanging on too, all the updates,
and I love watching all the updates on the on
the news at night and hearing all the fun little
stories like the floating Metallija, which really which made an appearance.
I think that became a bit of a meme online.
And then the one. The other thing that I saw
was the they have a wake up song that plays
(13:44):
every morning and they've made the artemist to playlist on
Spotify and anyone's gone and you know, downloaded it onto
their phones and just all these lovely moments that I
think are connecting all these people around the world. I
just think it's something that we needed, probably now more
than ever with everything going on run and you know,
with the cyclone over the this weekend, and yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Really brought the world together, actually because of even Neweran
was tracking at our Air Force was tracking Ardamis as
it was coming over our sort of way. But I
think it's unbelievable. I love it. I love space travel,
and I'm really looking forward to the photographs of the
pan of the Moon to see the old space buggies
and stuff like all the junk that we've left up there,
and hopefully it's there. It's got to be there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I think someone's picked it up.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That would be big news. It's going to be like
a nineteen sixty nine time time jar type situation time vessel.
But I've actually met Buzz Aldron, Oh wow, really amazing.
Two thousand and five. He was at the Wall Birds.
He came around in his little buggy and I said, I, Buzz,
how are you going? And I had my little youngest son,
Maxie with me, and see he said hello, sat So
(14:48):
I put Gussie a Maxi on his lap. I said,
can I take a photo? He took a great photo
and then I said, from now, Buzz, I got to
ask you a question?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Oh did.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I asked the question? I said, Buzz, did you really
land on the Moon?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And what did he say?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He raised his hand up to me and slapped you
in the chops and said and said to me, son,
I've got the ring to prove it. And I thought
that was a great answer, and it was a lovely man.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, as you walked away, he probably looked at as
mate and went like that fruit cake. That's the question
you didn't have to ask.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
What other question? Could you ask him? What was a
food like?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Actually, that's that's an interesting question. Would you ask what
would you ask?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
We know that they have natella because the floating, oh,
I just the whole. I'd love to know that. There's
so many questions what it feels like to float around.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Float, just weightlessness, because it's even something as simple as
drinking a drinking something that goes down to your stomach,
but there's no down, so your peristaltic action would have
to how.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Does it affect your digestion? For all the sense of
stomach gut people out there, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Turn it towards the sun so it could melt, the
melt the poos.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
But I watched Project.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Hail Mary during the week I saw that last weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh god, you felt weightless watching that thing. That was incredible. Yeah,
what's that project? Hail Mary?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Great?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You feel weightless in that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Around would be phenomenal.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Run.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'm not sure I would be big on the floating around,
but anyway, look, I think it's a great story. I
just it's just isn't it nice?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And how often, though, do you get a moment like
this where every part of the globe is invested. You know,
you think about really big events, you know, there's like
a real wedding or something, but that's only part of
the world. I just feel like every country.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
The kids, our kids have seen it. Right, that's a
cool thing.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I think everyone tuning in at once to.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The we're people who are like, oh, I'm not that's interested.
We went there, you know, so many years ago, et cetera.
But I think that that's because of it's dragged people
in as it's gone as well. But I can't wait
to see you know, we've seen images, but the high
the stuff that they're going to download when they get off. Yeah,
and I think it's going to when they dismount and
(17:07):
you know, debrief and all that. There's going to be
a lot of information coming through NASA. And if you
ever want to just go to a great website to
understand a bunch of things around our planet, and others
just go to NASA dot g o V it's they
got a bloody It's pretty good and I think it's
fairly scientific.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Oh funny then exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Anyway, Hey, we're going to take a moment. You need
a cup of tea and lie down for Wilhelmina.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
We'll be back to the kettle.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, put the kettle on twenty three and we'll yeah, well,
we'll be back and we will talk about some of
the more serious things, such as the latest in Iran.
And I'm not even sure if it's a serious or
amusing thing. Millennia Milania Trump doing her little stand up there.
It's like hello, streisand effect beaiging to reception twenty four
past three. Yes, welcome back to our panel with Luke
(17:56):
Dello and Wilhelmina O'Keeffe. Two e's to fs one sounds
same anyway, Dello double l. Well, otherwise you'd be daylight,
which makes it sound like otherwise you be Dela Dela
would mak you sound like you're either in a culture
or doctor who he comes from. Move on, Move on,
(18:19):
Move on, Move on. Let's move on. Let's note to self,
note to self and to you.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Luke JD.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Vans is warning Iran against trying to play the US
and peace talks. I've got a confession on the latest
on Iran. I've sort of tuned out. I just I
watched the news by what the petrol prices and I
go up. Still not SORTI yet? Does it?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's almost like that you just drive past the mobile
or the Z or whatever and go. It's not sorted yet. Yeah,
so look, he threatened to destroy a whole civilization. Trump.
Now they're apparently talking, but it seems like it's a
straight up all moves. I don't think it's really rocking
and rolling yet, is it. I'm going to go to
the in depth thought on this.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Luke, Well, I just love the Akerman Tark Tuesday tacos
with Trump always chickens out. Yes, I'd love that, you know,
because he does always check it out. And hey, look
the ships are coming through the straight aho moves, so
we're going to get the picture here.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
They are limits, there's limitations on them. I think it
was open, then it wasn't open, and then they went
sure if some of the down the water mines were there.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, because I'm sorry, there's a turd in the sandwich
and it's it's Netanyah. I mean, you know that guy
I hate his guts.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Well, he's an army guy, right.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't like Trump very much, but the guy I
loathe is Netnaho because he just they're just going to
keep keep the conflict going, keep bombing has Baller, keep bombing,
limit on and whatever, and we're all going to pay
the price for it, and he can get stuffed. That's
my summary. Let me be the next envoy to the
Middle East on that one. I'll communicate in New Zealand
sentiments accurately. That's a yep, Benjamin, you're a deck Uh
(19:59):
what I mean? Or what do you think?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah? Look, I think I'm kind of on the same
page as you in terms of I'm tracking things through
petrop and the flow and effect that it's having for
us and the rest of the world and the rest
of the world's economies. It'd be really interesting to see
what happens. I know there was some chat about potentially
around not coming to the table for these negotiations. They
think it really fascinates me as the logistics around these
(20:20):
negotiations reading how Iranian officials would be in one room,
US officials will be in another room, and then there's
going to be a man who literally or a woman, sorry,
a person picking up whatever is brought to the table,
running across to another room delivering that to the other
party for them to then read it and consider it.
Then it will be considered, the response will be written
(20:41):
down and then ran back to the other room. So
I find the logistics of that it's.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Almost it's quite direct to me compared to what it
could be.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I mean, yeah, I mean it could be absolute chaos.
It could descend in the case if they're all in
the same room.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
So translation though that running you know, like maybe they'd.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Be better to actually just put a post on Facebook
and the other side likes it and then replies.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Jump onto truth. Soci'll tell us what you think. But
I think all in all, we all just hope that
there will be a resolution. I mean, we saw the
massive reaction as soon as that news of that temporary
ceasefire came through and oil prices dropping all of a sudden,
and I just think everyone is so jelted at the moment.
(21:21):
We have just come out of this really awful period
of economic turmoil, and it was really actually looking up
this year. And to have this happen like it did
with the bloom and tariffs the same time last year,
our recovery keeps getting stonewalleds.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I just hope they get their big boys pants on
and work it out.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And don't be too optimistic. Goodness me, I have this.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have this lovely things of optimism.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I honestly do.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Negative Nancy, No, I'm just not engaged with it. I
just find I'm much happier when I just don't hinge
my happiness to what's going on apherances between you know,
the capricious sort of musings of a president who threatens
genocide to you.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Know, copy writer a little.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I can't even bothered something it up.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I do think it is a lot of there's been
a lot of words and big swinging, you know, happening,
and I just hope that they just pack in the
swinging and just for the sake of the global economy
and for our little New Zealand's economy, I think pack
it in.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think the voice we heard on the highlight from
the Hosking Show was John Bolton who's traditionally a bit
of a hawk, you know, in other words, somebody likes
going to war, and now we're hearing these voices as
the voices of moderation. And it just shows you how
far you know, politics has you know, got a.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Bit skew with were studying?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Doesn't word of the day?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Everyone yes and yes. Now I wonder if the US
first Lady Milania Trump has heard of the has heard
of the streisand phenomenon, you know, with the striisand effect
where no one's really talking about you, and then you
suddenly say, I wish everyone's stop talking about me, and
(23:04):
how you know I was never a boy a girlfriend
of what's his name? Epstein and all that sort of stuff,
and so everyone's suddenly like, hang on a minute, I
don't know. And it seems to me also to be
utterly toned deaf to the other stuff that's going on
in the world. She Willhelmina helped me out.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Did the sister get into her own head and start
overthinking it and just feel like she just needed to
blurt something out. It's like when people really publicly post
things on or vent their emotions on social media, like
you say, no one was really talking about it. It's
brought it back into the forefront. Is there something that
she knows that we don't? Is she pre emptying something,
some kind of you know, smoking gun coming out. I
(23:45):
don't know, but it just seems kind of quite ridiculous, really,
and now we're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I never care.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I never really thought too much about her. But she's
the lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein. Need
to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid
of ethical standards, humility and respect. Thank you for your love.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
That was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That wasn't terrible. But I'll tell you who is going
to love it?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
S C n L.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All the tonight shows are going to love this.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So she thinks she's a Russian bride or something.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
She gives them pimbot vibes to me from from Austin powers.
I feel about to get a machine guns out.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
You know, Yes, this is radio Luke's. Unfortunately that you
flexing your picks like they're loaded with something. It doesn't
translate very well. I love the way you went quite too.
You went it's like this and all you hear.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Is just ever I got it.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Everyone in the studio got it, and the rest of
the country are like.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
What you're really beautiful description and detailed recount has been
Oh yeah, he's doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Now social media to wait to where we've got our
person doing.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You're going to clip it all up and put it
all over instead clipped.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And we're going to pimp it everywhere. Now just I
don't know, I think you know what. I think maybe
what we'll do is we'll take a break because I'm
not sure I can really successfully pivot from Milania Trump
to the OCR. So tell you what, We'll go and
have a moment and we'll be back in just a
ticket is twenty five minutes to four new stalks. He'd
be stalks, hid be welcome back, Luke Dalo Wilhelmina O'Keefe.
(25:21):
My guess, I'm Tim Beverage. By the way, and look
at the It's not the most exciting story, but it
is an exciting story for people who worry about what
they're going to be borrowing at and how long they're
fixing their mortgages for it. Anyway, the OCR being held
at two point twenty five percent, which I think shows
a level of measure from the reserve Bank that they're
not going to jump around, you know, from pillar to
(25:43):
post that aren't a breamen. Then are they're going to
take a long term view. It might pop up. I
can't see it getting any cheaper, though, Luke, Now, it's
this good news.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
For you guys in the red statement. It's good news.
It is good news for us because it just keeps
things a bit solid. Sit on your hands, wait till
what's happening out there, and don't make a drastic move.
And I think our Reserve Bank governor is fantastic at
the moment. She's got some great experience since she's seen
it around the world, and she doesn't want to do
anything rash, and that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I love that. So, yeah, what do you reckon.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
One hundred percent? I think she takes a really measured approach,
which is really really sensible. I think it was a
really good idea to hold it at two point two
five percent because they're looking at the long term, right,
They're not trying to focus on responding to things in
the short shorter term, which can come across as really
knee jerk, which is kind of what we saw during COVID.
So I think it's a really smart move. I also
think the fact that a lot of households in the
(26:35):
economy as a whole hasn't really realized the true benefits
of that succession of cuts and then the recent hole
at the last OCR announcement, so that actually hasn't really
filtered through yet. So if they've got the balance of
responding to geopolitical factors but then also needing to stimulate
our economy, which is really really slow at the moment,
(26:55):
so I think it was a really smart move and
waiting to see what happens. And I know that the
data that they based this decision on wasn't actually up
to date. On the they based it on data that
was out of date by the time they actually made
their announcements. That's just how fast moving it is. So
I think it's important to sit back and see what happens.
As long as it does, I would hope that.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
They also go and just stand in the local coffee
shop and just listen to sort of you know, proper
filled stories about what people think and then go with
that data, because that's what we do, isn't it exactly?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I'm curious, we're going to dig into this in our
one roof radio show next. But look it logically, I mean,
obviously we are feeling there's a bit of uncertainty. We're
not sure what's happening with inflation. But the fact that
the interest rate is being held at two point twenty five,
you tend to think that is there a point where
it does knock on people think, you know what, I
(27:49):
guess we really do need to take this moment to
make the investment. But it doesn't seem to be rocking
the market at the moment, and money is not going
to get cheaper.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Well, what's happening out there is the market. There's movement
in the market, which is a good thing in the end.
Now with the sort of gas prices down, the move
in the park at the one point one to one
point five houses are not selling so much because that's
effect that that's an extra two hundred dollars a month
for someone. But in the three million plus that's still working. Yeah,
and that's still making so different sectors of moving with
this this news, and I just think of it kept
(28:19):
under five percent, I'm happy. Well, the cash raid or
the mortgage the mortgage rates and they're under five percent.
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well that is cheap. I mean, they're not going to
stay therefore, I funnily enough, just before the whole run
thing blew up, I decided I will fix a bit longer.
And it was just a very lucky guess because all
of a sudden, uncertainly crept on and interest rates started
popping up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I'm to reflex reflex in July, and so it's kind
of this period where I'm just I'm hoping. That's why
I'm really hopeful, really very optimistic about the ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You really need to tune into our smart money out
because we're going to be live over that great.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Great promo, great promo over there.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And and Luke delay from some real estate company which
is not allowed to mention again otherwise I send them
a bill. Anyway, Hey, look, I hadn't thought about crappy
cars for a long time. So Ford has topped the
list of Consumer n z's least reliable cars in its
latest survey. So as a survey of close to six
(29:16):
thousand people asked what faults that experience with their cars
and how satisfied they were, and Ford escapes and focuses
had the highest number of major and serious faults reported.
And it was sort of news to me because I
just assume modern engineering just about every you know, they
used to be. You know, there used to be brands
you always avoided. And I'm not going to go into
(29:36):
what they work because it's all changed now, but there
were certain brands you just didn't buy well funny enough
before they rebranded it. Yeah, when they and I remember
when they relaunched that brand, actually very very clever out
of the campaign. But there were certain cars you avoided
and there were ones that were deemed to be more reliable.
I just assumed everything was revibal, So I was a
bit shocked to see Ford get a bit of a
(29:56):
spanking on this one.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Luke Well, I just think they're making stuff for cheaper
and cheaper and throwaway gadget so I want to play
piece just braaces down their throw it and put a
new one. But everyone nose for the Acromats flick or
repair daily always had always had a bad reputation. Don't
buy a Ford your flick it or repair it daily.
You know you're not going to be getting a sponsored bit.
(30:19):
But my goodness, and Navara is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Actually, and people mock there's almost this put down. I
heard some conversation with another host on the station, like,
you know, the most boring car in the world sort
of thing. But there's a reason that people buy Toyotas,
because they do have a reputation for being pretty good generally.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
I remember that when I was a teenager and I
was looking buying my first car, and the Toyota Corolla
was like the gopher of a car.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I had friends who had clock up three hundred thousand
plus k's on a Toyota Corolla. I love your acronym
around the ford. I remember my brother telling me about Honda.
It was Honda, which was had one, never did again, one,
never again. But I'm a Mazda Gal, so I know
I talk about the Toyota Corolla, the appeal of that,
but I had a been a Mazda Gal up until now.
(31:06):
So I had a Mazda Estina, you know the ones
with lights that flick up like eyes. And then I
had a mad I called her lash.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Selling point, I called her no.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
The selling point was the fact she was like fifteen
hundred bucks and and under one hundred thousand k's. But
I called her lashes. Though your first car, the ESA.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Was your first car and lost in Agro a land crab.
You know, you know those ones are the lean crabs.
They were the front seats, two front seats. It was
like having two lazy boys and it's dead flat.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Okay, we won't dig into that any further. Obviously, good
good on date night for Luke.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Mine was Capeen obviously.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Actually my first two cars were four Escorts, and my
first one, I loved it. It had racing sort of
mags and everything, and until the dak caught fire, I loved.
I spent it until the day.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
It's the most drastic.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I was driving up that I was driving up our
driveway and I noticed the engine was running a bit rough,
which was because there was a split in the fuel hose,
and I was like, it's running but rough. Give it
an extra rev. Squirted some extra fuel onto the hot engine,
and wolf when I was like, my cars on fire.
And I remember running to the front door calling for
I think my brother to help or something like that.
He's like, what's up. My car's on fire, And I
(32:26):
think you looked at me, like what are you talking about?
I said, my car is on fire.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
You're like, yeah, it is. What a great model, enough.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That I sold it to him exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I was a mustard yellow and square shape or was
it the round?
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I was just a little off white with it. You know,
it's quite a nice little car. It was good anyway,
We've all got a fhoned cars. But I do feel
sorry for Ford because it's an unfortunate headline, isn't it.
It is okay if you were going to buy a
new car now in their evs and hybrids and the
whole lot of choices and every you know, we've had
those smug people buying EV's because it was just the day.
(33:01):
How I mean, do you would you have a collection
of brands you go too? Or how long would it
take you to decide which which car? Make it a trust?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Three brands? Yep, this and Volkswagen and Naudi.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh he's a bit posh, isn't he? See I feel
I need to sow toed Her three times or Mazda.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I would switch to Evolver. Safest car in the world,
drives beautifully. They've got a really great Evy model and
you know it's I know, it's kind of yeah. I
just think it's just a safety thing.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, fair enough, have you told leashes this or.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
You know, oh she's she's in the glemen rickyard.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Now I I should mention I actually was sponsored by
Masdra at one stage, so that and they were they
were great, had a great time with them, and they
didn't ask me to say that, by the way. It
was a few years ago. But anyway, there we go. Hey,
look on trends. Speaking of cars, there's been there's been
a bit of a survey on what we drink these days,
(34:00):
and I think apparently the flat whites are still in
you'll be you'd know this because you would have made
a few coffees in your time, Luke Frape's and you
know the sort of iced what are they? They're coming
a bit more popular with young people, and that's only
because they haven't grown up yet. What do you drink?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I'm a long blake with a dash of cream.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
And what is the most popular drink when you are
when people order it in your hospitality establishments?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Flat white? All the day, all day long, flat white?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And what is the difference here's the question. You see,
what's the difference between a New Zealand flat white and
a New Zealand latte? And at last, because basically, their
milky coffees aren't exactly and.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
I just can't stand late. I think the latte all
those been the l latte is r this mes.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I love a latte.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's just so posey. Just have a coffee, you know.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Oh no, give me an ice light seat. You'll laugh
at my coffee order. Then you'll think I'm ridiculous, Sally,
because I drink DCF now because otherwise I just get
heart palpitations. So I get a DCF ice latte with
a splash of caramel with almond mile You'll hate me.
Want you look you're delightful.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
It sounds like you need to write it down and
have cards to hand over the counter.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I actually so it's an iced caramel latte with DCAF
almond milk. And I actually wanted it yesterday. And because
there were so many add ons, this lady was like, oh,
there's so many add ons, I'll just give a couple
of couple of them for free. The cafe down in college.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hell, so you actually had a serious cafe that would
make a coffee as.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Yeah, every cafe has syrups, flavored syrups.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, this is just your way of asking for milkshake,
isn't it. It's really pretty much make my.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Own ice lattes at home as much caramel syrup.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So what do you get out of a dcare coffee?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I actually love the taste of coffee.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I love that. I love it so much, And it's
the ritual of it. It gets me up in the
morning and I make my breakfast and I make the
coffee and I went from home. So it's a nice
it's the ritual of it. In the social element of it,
I think.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
So it's really just it's a caramel almond milkshake with a.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Splash of delightful. Hey, at least I'm not a much
a girl, you know that much a girl? All the
gen zs are all like, I'm a Marcha girlie. Marcha
is disgusting. I'm sorry. It tastes like eating whipped up grass.
I agree, it's hideous.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
I understand that they're just drinking it just to be
look at me, look at to be the.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Cool, cool Pilarates girls going to get to Marcha. I mean,
I love Pilarates, but march No, I think.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
You're only I think you're half a season away from
being a march a girl.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
After I don't know, although I think methinks she just protests,
does protest too much, you know, whipped up grass, Wilhelmina O'Keefe,
double double f one a. She's got macha written all
over the Wilma Marcha.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
It's not quite the same as the village people, lady.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Too many syllables.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
No, we'll dig into that after the break, shall we,
Or either that, or we'll talk about pretentious people who
have uts when really the last thing they ever do
is stick anything in the back of it. Apparently that's
that's one of the majority of the majority of your
people who own you drive around remiror and places like that,
making a nuisance in themselves and never stick anything remotely hard,
(37:13):
you know, tool wise into the back of it. We'll
be back in just a minute. New Stalk said, b
it is ten to four. There's that's there, we go.
That's the sound of the Quaker. We were talking about
that because of Milania Trump being a fembot and this
is the theme for Most and Powers, and the reason
we're playing it it is because it's almost thirty years
ago since he started rocking out to this number and Okay,
(37:37):
this is again where we need the cameras because Wilhelmina
is doing her best version of a fenbot.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
I nailed the doves, Ye.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Done.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Hey, look we've only got We've only got two or
three minutes left. So look, let's just let's just use
it talking about utes, shall we. So the majority of
rip of trips made by double cab utes actually don't
require these large, high powered vehicles. Look, if you've got
a boat, get the ute. Absolutely. If you've got a
bunch of you need to stick in the back. If
you've got some hard ware to move around, you're doing
(38:07):
a lot of DIY, you are doing a lot of building.
Get the ute. If you're trawling around going from latte
to late.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Maybe you don't need the ute.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You haven't got a youte, have your luke.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I definitely do have a ute. I'm going to this
end of ourn. Absolutely love it. And it's the fourth
ut have had.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Why do you have a ute for? I mean, did
you have Do you use it to pack into your restaurants?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Maybe no, I doubt I use my ute because I've
got a boat which I tie a three and a
half ton. Well, you are forgiven and of I go
hunting open home signs, and I chuck everything in the
back of the ute and locks up my guns back there.
So I used by you in a great wave on
hang on.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
You said not to give you a hard time for
having a ute, But there's no way or give you
a hard time because you are the perfect user. You've
got a gun, you're hunting, fishing. I mean you just
trying to pack you in the corner. Oh you are?
Are you wanted to roll out with how butch you were?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
But hey, what's the difference with a ute and a LDI,
a seven, a big car. It's the same thing, right,
uestion for it? Drive right, it's a beg forward driving.
You've got these got the all due respect, you've got
these little ladies driving these range drover.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Lady, you're trying to driver gl No, I'm a master
go you don't know. I wish gosh, I'm not that bougie.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I must say I do have a slightly scornful attitude
when you're if you're sitting at my favorite cafe mirror,
but you see the range drovers and the utes pull up,
and I'm like, and then somebody gets out, and I'm
thinking you better have a big boat you're pulling on
that thing, buddy. But because I mean, there could be
a lot of bone owners around.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
That always judge a person by the ute, by how
dirty it is. So if you've got a dirtiest sort
of you're in and also look at the carpet. If
you've got a clean one, get rid of.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
My mum always used to take the mickey out of
everyone driving a land Rover, a range drover, anything. I
remember the so vividly when I was a teenager. She's like,
oh gosh, why not even on a farm.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Actually, the pleasure when I waked in the Forest Service
when I was a student and we drove the old
school land drivers, which could go anywhere, and I remember
going out into the forest and you know, getting it
getting to a really steep, slippery slope and the guys
with he said, just whack it into you know, into
low gear, four wheel drive, and it just went up
there like it. And that's what it's like. I finally
(40:20):
get it now. But you don't see many of those ones.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Not many hells to climb in the city.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Hey, guys, I think we've had quite a good time today.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
It's all right, A plus plus would trade again.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
It's gone fast. It has flown by a few laughs.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Luke Dello, Wilhelmina O'keefne Shrimpton.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You know yeah, double one.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I still can't do it.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Double it one day.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Lovely to see you guys, Thank you so much for
joining us. And guess what we've got to I've got
to change topics. I feel like I need to and
must go. You know, I have a shower and change
just to just to get myself in a new headspace.

well fitted shirt there. He looks like he's come straight
from the auction lot. Luke, Hello, how are you a
real estate agent? Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Well with a new gig. Yes, I've just joined Bailey's.
They've picked me up, which is fantastic and a great
little company there. They actually sponsored the morning show and
they should actually do one for you here. They should.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I didn't realize you were so posh because Bailey's is
quite that's a bit boogie.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
He must be at the bottom of the yeld power.
I'll work myself up, but you know I am the
man about town and matter of property. Luke Dello, I.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Give it to me in the script form and we'll
have that worked up for the intro for your show.
And Look, my next guest is Look. She's been a
lot of things as well. She's been a journalist. She
currently I think she still is a journalist. She's a
bit of a pr hussey. She was okay with me
saying that. But the most interesting thing about her at
the moment for me, and I can't get away from it,
(03:57):
is how you spell her last name. It used to
been much easier to say Shrimpton, but now it's it's
this is easier to say, but guess how you spell
it's Wilhelmine or Keith with.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
My favorite part of the weekend is listening to your intro.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought you were going to say your favorite part
is me trying to spell your name because it's got too.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Fs in it.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah. So I've spent my life trying to teach people
how to spell my first name, and then now I
have the lovely task of teaching people how to spell
my second name. So it's of apostrophe K double e,
double f one e. That's how I remember it, Like
a little song.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is oh no, because when you say double f
one e, I think that's a joke way of saying
that the one is an I. So I'm going to
call you Wilhelmina O'Keefe. That's quite cute too.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
It's a nice way to remember it.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It's always good to be careful how to say a name,
isn't it exactly?
Speaker 4 (04:46):
So pronunciation is key And thanks for the pr hussy
shout out. I like to call myself a slashy, a slashy,
you know, like a PR person, slash journalist, slash broadcaster,
slash mc slash.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now, if you wonder why we love if I said
something just just with their papers towards her face, but
she wasn't holding them all and she turned her notes
into a hat.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It was right.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No one, No one can tell you until you told them.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Soon we're going to have someone who's doing all the
social media stuff and I'll just be able to time
code that and say, let's put that on a social
media where.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Jack of all trades. It's a female version of that.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
The Jane of all Trade.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Oh is it? I don't know, doesn't have the same ring.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I don't know. They're all rounded out the slash diversification Jillian, Yes,
what are you?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And the new Boy?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
But Bailey's I'm just the master of property.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Luke makes coffee.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Can add breaksting sitting next to me right now?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Okay, that's enough. Next note, send him a bill Next time.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
He mentioned the real estate agent free pr.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Hey, Now, I'm I do feel that we need to
be quite responsible with this because Cyclone Vayana is on
its way. We have had okay, I would wouldn't be
acknowledging anything that everyone's not saying. That warnings have been
broad and wide sweeping, and look who knows where it's
(06:20):
going to hit, because it's a thing that I do
get the feeling that, you know, the last thing any
of anyone responsible wants to do is what happened on
Anniversary weekend three years ago when people got flooded and
they had no idea what was coming. So I think
we're covering our bases. But I will say the one
thing I thought was peculiar is that the New Zealand
Herald has a what to pack in an emergency? Okay,
(06:41):
so obviously you know you might want your first aid
with your medicine antiseptic cremes. You might want some non
perishable food. I agree with that. You want some fresh water.
I guess you want a torch and spear batteries. We're
all ticking these. We're all got smiles around the studio.
Warm items such as blankets and sleeping bags. Okay, that's
really if you're going to have to move important documents
such as your passport, birth and marriage certificates, what are they?
(07:05):
I think it's because when you go to check into
the emergency accommodation, they go, okay, right, what you want
to sleep in the same room? Where's your marriage certificate? Right?
You go left, mister beverage, and you go right, okay,
because no marriag certificate?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
What do you need your marriage and it's for it's
very World War two showership papers.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean it's very strange.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Passport, birth and marriage certificate.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I can understand a passport for identity's sake, chicken into
a rescue center. Perhaps, I mean driver's license would do surely,
I don't know what's your marriage certificate? What's the new
way to date?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Thing is you would be okay because you carry yours everywhere.
She's so proud to be married. I reckon if I said, come.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
On, I've got my driver's license in my.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Phone, you've got your marriage certificate.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
With you, and.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Give me one second now, though, I mean, it's difficult
to pass much comment on this except to hope that
I hope that the warnings have been for everyone over
stated because we don't want to see anyone.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean, the people in zones where they've had a
pounding with floods on the East coast and things fingers
crossed day.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But can I just say one thing about the warnings.
I love the warnings right now we've been talking about
since Thursday, and my dear people in the hospitality industry
all wrung me up, said we if they had thirty
five percent cancelations on a Friday night because of the warnings,
because we didn't know when the weather is coming. I
don't mind if the weather's coming like today, but put
the warnings out. I'll let people know, but not hysteria.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You would have been almost hard. I know what you
mean that you almost would have been hard picked if
you just said to someone randomly, hey, when's the storm
actually going to arrive? Because it had it did seem
to come quite early. But of course if you need
to stock up with anything, you do need those early warnings.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
The difficulty is is that authority is are damned if
they do when they damned if they don't. They're going
to get criticized if they don't put out the warnings
really really early. And they're probably going to get criticized
if they did put out the warnings really early and
it's not as big as we expected. And I think
the thing we do have to remember as well as
that there are a lot of communities that were so
sheltered from the last couple of storms, particularly this year,
shut on Brow. So I think everyone is on tinderhooks
(09:11):
and we're five years ago we might have gone. You know,
I'm not going to cancel my Friday night bogging when
it's meant to hit on Sunday. They're going, actually, or
I need to cancel because I need to sand bag
my house, or I need to prepare the furniture. I
need to do that. And I think people would much
rather be having dinner on a Friday night, I'm sure,
but it's it's it's their preparedness, right, and the feeling
of feeling really fragile.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I suppose I did get a bit of wind burnt
today watching my son play Rugby earlier.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
It was quite yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there is there
is that kind of there is that kind of hectic
kind of energy in the air though. Right driving over
the bridge today when I came to see you guys
going to do the panel.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Why we've got a love on the panel. We've got Blueco's.
You know, I need some convincing, a chapstick or something.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Everything. Might have that in my handbag next to my
marriage certificate.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I'm already already cheered up just by you guys. Look
for everyone who's in an area where you need to,
you know, just do pay attention to the public health
warnings and take them seriously, okay, because.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
We know it gives your bloody fright though.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And now the Yeah, one of our journalists was on
the loo and and somebody else and the next cubicle.
They both went off in a very resonant chamber and
I think you know.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Were you in there as well?
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I know the middle.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Came out and reported on the front.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Okay, that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Yes, I don't generally hang it. We don't have unisex toilets.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It breaks through any do not disturb the warning, not
the toilet, the warning breaks through any Just do not
disturb or silence or whatever. Because I'm going to say,
if you've got if you're on air, you must hear
it when it comes through. You probably have a couple
more come through.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
We would have one. My phone would go off.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Ye, regardless of if it's a do not disturb silent must.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
It did trigger me a bit, Yeah, because you're a
bit of nerve. A tsunami is coming. That's what I
think when I hear it, That's what I do feel like.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
I just hope that the warning has gone to everyone's phone,
because I know they had some issues last time with
it going to select.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just hope that. I just hope people that you
know who are going to be drastically affected everyone's you know,
managed to make the preparations they have, and that you're
all going to be okay, and we all think of
you in that respect, and hopefully you know it's none
of us your fingers crossed anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Hey, look onto.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I do love the artemist too thing. And I spoke
to one of our journalists who was listening, watching and
listening live to the process when they go blank and
you don't you can't hear them, and then they touch
base of them. In fact, I think we've got some
foot have we got some audio for the Let's just
just warm ours out up into and set the scene
(12:07):
for the splashdown of the.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Artemis splashdown confirmed at seven oh seven pm Central Time
five oh seven pm Pacific Time. From the pages of
Jules vern to a modern day mission to the Moon,
a new chapter of the Exploration of our celestial neighbor
is complete. Integrity's astronauts back on our Yes, something I
prepared earlier.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
That guy, you can hear it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah. But you know what I love about this is
I think that these the ability for mankind to do
what we can. We've flown literally around you know, the Moon,
and okay, we landed on decades ago. But the fact
that we have these aspirations, I look at it and
(12:58):
I just think it's the finest of humanity in a way.
The teamwork, knowledge above all science. You don't get there
by reading the tea leaves. You get there by science
and what works, and then we're you know, it's such
a lovely contrast to you know, to other things politically speaking,
isn't it. It's just the fin It's one of the
(13:20):
finer things. What do you think, Willemina.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
It's been such a lovely piece of escapism, I think
through it all and it's been this wonderful kind of
positive story. And we're all hanging on too, all the updates,
and I love watching all the updates on the on
the news at night and hearing all the fun little
stories like the floating Metallija, which really which made an appearance.
I think that became a bit of a meme online.
And then the one. The other thing that I saw
was the they have a wake up song that plays
(13:44):
every morning and they've made the artemist to playlist on
Spotify and anyone's gone and you know, downloaded it onto
their phones and just all these lovely moments that I
think are connecting all these people around the world. I
just think it's something that we needed, probably now more
than ever with everything going on run and you know,
with the cyclone over the this weekend, and yeah, it's a.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Really brought the world together, actually because of even Neweran
was tracking at our Air Force was tracking Ardamis as
it was coming over our sort of way. But I
think it's unbelievable. I love it. I love space travel,
and I'm really looking forward to the photographs of the
pan of the Moon to see the old space buggies
and stuff like all the junk that we've left up there,
and hopefully it's there. It's got to be there.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I think someone's picked it up.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
That would be big news. It's going to be like
a nineteen sixty nine time time jar type situation time vessel.
But I've actually met Buzz Aldron, Oh wow, really amazing.
Two thousand and five. He was at the Wall Birds.
He came around in his little buggy and I said, I, Buzz,
how are you going? And I had my little youngest son,
Maxie with me, and see he said hello, sat So
(14:48):
I put Gussie a Maxi on his lap. I said,
can I take a photo? He took a great photo
and then I said, from now, Buzz, I got to
ask you a question?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Oh did.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I asked the question? I said, Buzz, did you really
land on the Moon?
Speaker 4 (15:03):
And what did he say?
Speaker 3 (15:04):
He raised his hand up to me and slapped you
in the chops and said and said to me, son,
I've got the ring to prove it. And I thought
that was a great answer, and it was a lovely man.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, as you walked away, he probably looked at as
mate and went like that fruit cake. That's the question
you didn't have to ask.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
What other question? Could you ask him? What was a
food like?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Actually, that's that's an interesting question. Would you ask what
would you ask?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
We know that they have natella because the floating, oh,
I just the whole. I'd love to know that. There's
so many questions what it feels like to float around.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Float, just weightlessness, because it's even something as simple as
drinking a drinking something that goes down to your stomach,
but there's no down, so your peristaltic action would have
to how.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Does it affect your digestion? For all the sense of
stomach gut people out there, that's right.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Turn it towards the sun so it could melt, the
melt the poos.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
But I watched Project.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Hail Mary during the week I saw that last weekend.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Oh god, you felt weightless watching that thing. That was incredible. Yeah,
what's that project? Hail Mary?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Great?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
You feel weightless in that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Around would be phenomenal.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Run.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I'm not sure I would be big on the floating around,
but anyway, look, I think it's a great story. I
just it's just isn't it nice?
Speaker 4 (16:30):
And how often, though, do you get a moment like
this where every part of the globe is invested. You know,
you think about really big events, you know, there's like
a real wedding or something, but that's only part of
the world. I just feel like every country.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
The kids, our kids have seen it. Right, that's a
cool thing.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I think everyone tuning in at once to.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
The we're people who are like, oh, I'm not that's interested.
We went there, you know, so many years ago, et cetera.
But I think that that's because of it's dragged people
in as it's gone as well. But I can't wait
to see you know, we've seen images, but the high
the stuff that they're going to download when they get off. Yeah,
and I think it's going to when they dismount and
(17:07):
you know, debrief and all that. There's going to be
a lot of information coming through NASA. And if you
ever want to just go to a great website to
understand a bunch of things around our planet, and others
just go to NASA dot g o V it's they
got a bloody It's pretty good and I think it's
fairly scientific.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Oh funny then exactly.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Anyway, Hey, we're going to take a moment. You need
a cup of tea and lie down for Wilhelmina.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
We'll be back to the kettle.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, put the kettle on twenty three and we'll yeah, well,
we'll be back and we will talk about some of
the more serious things, such as the latest in Iran.
And I'm not even sure if it's a serious or
amusing thing. Millennia Milania Trump doing her little stand up there.
It's like hello, streisand effect beaiging to reception twenty four
past three. Yes, welcome back to our panel with Luke
(17:56):
Dello and Wilhelmina O'Keeffe. Two e's to fs one sounds
same anyway, Dello double l. Well, otherwise you'd be daylight,
which makes it sound like otherwise you be Dela Dela
would mak you sound like you're either in a culture
or doctor who he comes from. Move on, Move on,
(18:19):
Move on, Move on. Let's move on. Let's note to self,
note to self and to you.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Luke JD.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Vans is warning Iran against trying to play the US
and peace talks. I've got a confession on the latest
on Iran. I've sort of tuned out. I just I
watched the news by what the petrol prices and I
go up. Still not SORTI yet? Does it?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It's almost like that you just drive past the mobile
or the Z or whatever and go. It's not sorted yet. Yeah,
so look, he threatened to destroy a whole civilization. Trump.
Now they're apparently talking, but it seems like it's a
straight up all moves. I don't think it's really rocking
and rolling yet, is it. I'm going to go to
the in depth thought on this.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Luke, Well, I just love the Akerman Tark Tuesday tacos
with Trump always chickens out. Yes, I'd love that, you know,
because he does always check it out. And hey, look
the ships are coming through the straight aho moves, so
we're going to get the picture here.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
They are limits, there's limitations on them. I think it
was open, then it wasn't open, and then they went
sure if some of the down the water mines were there.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, because I'm sorry, there's a turd in the sandwich
and it's it's Netanyah. I mean, you know that guy
I hate his guts.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Well, he's an army guy, right.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't like Trump very much, but the guy I
loathe is Netnaho because he just they're just going to
keep keep the conflict going, keep bombing has Baller, keep bombing,
limit on and whatever, and we're all going to pay
the price for it, and he can get stuffed. That's
my summary. Let me be the next envoy to the
Middle East on that one. I'll communicate in New Zealand
sentiments accurately. That's a yep, Benjamin, you're a deck Uh
(19:59):
what I mean? Or what do you think?
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah? Look, I think I'm kind of on the same
page as you in terms of I'm tracking things through
petrop and the flow and effect that it's having for
us and the rest of the world and the rest
of the world's economies. It'd be really interesting to see
what happens. I know there was some chat about potentially
around not coming to the table for these negotiations. They
think it really fascinates me as the logistics around these
(20:20):
negotiations reading how Iranian officials would be in one room,
US officials will be in another room, and then there's
going to be a man who literally or a woman, sorry,
a person picking up whatever is brought to the table,
running across to another room delivering that to the other
party for them to then read it and consider it.
Then it will be considered, the response will be written
(20:41):
down and then ran back to the other room. So
I find the logistics of that it's.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Almost it's quite direct to me compared to what it
could be.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I mean, yeah, I mean it could be absolute chaos.
It could descend in the case if they're all in
the same room.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
So translation though that running you know, like maybe they'd.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Be better to actually just put a post on Facebook
and the other side likes it and then replies.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Jump onto truth. Soci'll tell us what you think. But
I think all in all, we all just hope that
there will be a resolution. I mean, we saw the
massive reaction as soon as that news of that temporary
ceasefire came through and oil prices dropping all of a sudden,
and I just think everyone is so jelted at the moment.
(21:21):
We have just come out of this really awful period
of economic turmoil, and it was really actually looking up
this year. And to have this happen like it did
with the bloom and tariffs the same time last year,
our recovery keeps getting stonewalleds.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I just hope they get their big boys pants on
and work it out.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
And don't be too optimistic. Goodness me, I have this.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
I have this lovely things of optimism.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I honestly do.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Negative Nancy, No, I'm just not engaged with it. I
just find I'm much happier when I just don't hinge
my happiness to what's going on apherances between you know,
the capricious sort of musings of a president who threatens
genocide to you.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Know, copy writer a little.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I can't even bothered something it up.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
I do think it is a lot of there's been
a lot of words and big swinging, you know, happening,
and I just hope that they just pack in the
swinging and just for the sake of the global economy
and for our little New Zealand's economy, I think pack
it in.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think the voice we heard on the highlight from
the Hosking Show was John Bolton who's traditionally a bit
of a hawk, you know, in other words, somebody likes
going to war, and now we're hearing these voices as
the voices of moderation. And it just shows you how
far you know, politics has you know, got a.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Bit skew with were studying?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Doesn't word of the day?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Everyone yes and yes. Now I wonder if the US
first Lady Milania Trump has heard of the has heard
of the streisand phenomenon, you know, with the striisand effect
where no one's really talking about you, and then you
suddenly say, I wish everyone's stop talking about me, and
(23:04):
how you know I was never a boy a girlfriend
of what's his name? Epstein and all that sort of stuff,
and so everyone's suddenly like, hang on a minute, I
don't know. And it seems to me also to be
utterly toned deaf to the other stuff that's going on
in the world. She Willhelmina helped me out.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Did the sister get into her own head and start
overthinking it and just feel like she just needed to
blurt something out. It's like when people really publicly post
things on or vent their emotions on social media, like
you say, no one was really talking about it. It's
brought it back into the forefront. Is there something that
she knows that we don't? Is she pre emptying something,
some kind of you know, smoking gun coming out. I
(23:45):
don't know, but it just seems kind of quite ridiculous, really,
and now we're talking about it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I never care.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I never really thought too much about her. But she's
the lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein. Need
to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid
of ethical standards, humility and respect. Thank you for your love.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
That was brilliant.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That wasn't terrible. But I'll tell you who is going
to love it?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
S C n L.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All the tonight shows are going to love this.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
So she thinks she's a Russian bride or something.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
She gives them pimbot vibes to me from from Austin powers.
I feel about to get a machine guns out.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
You know, Yes, this is radio Luke's. Unfortunately that you
flexing your picks like they're loaded with something. It doesn't
translate very well. I love the way you went quite too.
You went it's like this and all you hear.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Is just ever I got it.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Everyone in the studio got it, and the rest of
the country are like.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
What you're really beautiful description and detailed recount has been
Oh yeah, he's doing it.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Now social media to wait to where we've got our
person doing.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
You're going to clip it all up and put it
all over instead clipped.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And we're going to pimp it everywhere. Now just I
don't know, I think you know what. I think maybe
what we'll do is we'll take a break because I'm
not sure I can really successfully pivot from Milania Trump
to the OCR. So tell you what, We'll go and
have a moment and we'll be back in just a
ticket is twenty five minutes to four new stalks. He'd
be stalks, hid be welcome back, Luke Dalo Wilhelmina O'Keefe.
(25:21):
My guess, I'm Tim Beverage. By the way, and look
at the It's not the most exciting story, but it
is an exciting story for people who worry about what
they're going to be borrowing at and how long they're
fixing their mortgages for it. Anyway, the OCR being held
at two point twenty five percent, which I think shows
a level of measure from the reserve Bank that they're
not going to jump around, you know, from pillar to
(25:43):
post that aren't a breamen. Then are they're going to
take a long term view. It might pop up. I
can't see it getting any cheaper, though, Luke, Now, it's
this good news.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
For you guys in the red statement. It's good news.
It is good news for us because it just keeps
things a bit solid. Sit on your hands, wait till
what's happening out there, and don't make a drastic move.
And I think our Reserve Bank governor is fantastic at
the moment. She's got some great experience since she's seen
it around the world, and she doesn't want to do
anything rash, and that's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I love that. So, yeah, what do you reckon.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
One hundred percent? I think she takes a really measured approach,
which is really really sensible. I think it was a
really good idea to hold it at two point two
five percent because they're looking at the long term, right,
They're not trying to focus on responding to things in
the short shorter term, which can come across as really
knee jerk, which is kind of what we saw during COVID.
So I think it's a really smart move. I also
think the fact that a lot of households in the
(26:35):
economy as a whole hasn't really realized the true benefits
of that succession of cuts and then the recent hole
at the last OCR announcement, so that actually hasn't really
filtered through yet. So if they've got the balance of
responding to geopolitical factors but then also needing to stimulate
our economy, which is really really slow at the moment,
(26:55):
so I think it was a really smart move and
waiting to see what happens. And I know that the
data that they based this decision on wasn't actually up
to date. On the they based it on data that
was out of date by the time they actually made
their announcements. That's just how fast moving it is. So
I think it's important to sit back and see what happens.
As long as it does, I would hope that.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
They also go and just stand in the local coffee
shop and just listen to sort of you know, proper
filled stories about what people think and then go with
that data, because that's what we do, isn't it exactly?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I'm curious, we're going to dig into this in our
one roof radio show next. But look it logically, I mean,
obviously we are feeling there's a bit of uncertainty. We're
not sure what's happening with inflation. But the fact that
the interest rate is being held at two point twenty five,
you tend to think that is there a point where
it does knock on people think, you know what, I
(27:49):
guess we really do need to take this moment to
make the investment. But it doesn't seem to be rocking
the market at the moment, and money is not going
to get cheaper.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Well, what's happening out there is the market. There's movement
in the market, which is a good thing in the end.
Now with the sort of gas prices down, the move
in the park at the one point one to one
point five houses are not selling so much because that's
effect that that's an extra two hundred dollars a month
for someone. But in the three million plus that's still working. Yeah,
and that's still making so different sectors of moving with
this this news, and I just think of it kept
(28:19):
under five percent, I'm happy. Well, the cash raid or
the mortgage the mortgage rates and they're under five percent.
I'm happy.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Well that is cheap. I mean, they're not going to
stay therefore, I funnily enough, just before the whole run
thing blew up, I decided I will fix a bit longer.
And it was just a very lucky guess because all
of a sudden, uncertainly crept on and interest rates started
popping up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I'm to reflex reflex in July, and so it's kind
of this period where I'm just I'm hoping. That's why
I'm really hopeful, really very optimistic about the ceasefire.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You really need to tune into our smart money out
because we're going to be live over that great.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Great promo, great promo over there.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
And and Luke delay from some real estate company which
is not allowed to mention again otherwise I send them
a bill. Anyway, Hey, look, I hadn't thought about crappy
cars for a long time. So Ford has topped the
list of Consumer n z's least reliable cars in its
latest survey. So as a survey of close to six
(29:16):
thousand people asked what faults that experience with their cars
and how satisfied they were, and Ford escapes and focuses
had the highest number of major and serious faults reported.
And it was sort of news to me because I
just assume modern engineering just about every you know, they
used to be. You know, there used to be brands
you always avoided. And I'm not going to go into
(29:36):
what they work because it's all changed now, but there
were certain brands you just didn't buy well funny enough
before they rebranded it. Yeah, when they and I remember
when they relaunched that brand, actually very very clever out
of the campaign. But there were certain cars you avoided
and there were ones that were deemed to be more reliable.
I just assumed everything was revibal, So I was a
bit shocked to see Ford get a bit of a
(29:56):
spanking on this one.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Luke Well, I just think they're making stuff for cheaper
and cheaper and throwaway gadget so I want to play
piece just braaces down their throw it and put a
new one. But everyone nose for the Acromats flick or
repair daily always had always had a bad reputation. Don't
buy a Ford your flick it or repair it daily.
You know you're not going to be getting a sponsored bit.
(30:19):
But my goodness, and Navara is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Actually, and people mock there's almost this put down. I
heard some conversation with another host on the station, like,
you know, the most boring car in the world sort
of thing. But there's a reason that people buy Toyotas,
because they do have a reputation for being pretty good generally.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
I remember that when I was a teenager and I
was looking buying my first car, and the Toyota Corolla
was like the gopher of a car.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I had friends who had clock up three hundred thousand
plus k's on a Toyota Corolla. I love your acronym
around the ford. I remember my brother telling me about Honda.
It was Honda, which was had one, never did again, one,
never again. But I'm a Mazda Gal, so I know
I talk about the Toyota Corolla, the appeal of that,
but I had a been a Mazda Gal up until now.
(31:06):
So I had a Mazda Estina, you know the ones
with lights that flick up like eyes. And then I
had a mad I called her lash.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Selling point, I called her no.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
The selling point was the fact she was like fifteen
hundred bucks and and under one hundred thousand k's. But
I called her lashes. Though your first car, the ESA.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Was your first car and lost in Agro a land crab.
You know, you know those ones are the lean crabs.
They were the front seats, two front seats. It was
like having two lazy boys and it's dead flat.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Okay, we won't dig into that any further. Obviously, good
good on date night for Luke.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Mine was Capeen obviously.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Actually my first two cars were four Escorts, and my
first one, I loved it. It had racing sort of
mags and everything, and until the dak caught fire, I loved.
I spent it until the day.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
It's the most drastic.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I was driving up that I was driving up our
driveway and I noticed the engine was running a bit rough,
which was because there was a split in the fuel hose,
and I was like, it's running but rough. Give it
an extra rev. Squirted some extra fuel onto the hot engine,
and wolf when I was like, my cars on fire.
And I remember running to the front door calling for
I think my brother to help or something like that.
He's like, what's up. My car's on fire, And I
(32:26):
think you looked at me, like what are you talking about?
I said, my car is on fire.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
You're like, yeah, it is. What a great model, enough.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
That I sold it to him exactly.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I was a mustard yellow and square shape or was
it the round?
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I was just a little off white with it. You know,
it's quite a nice little car. It was good anyway,
We've all got a fhoned cars. But I do feel
sorry for Ford because it's an unfortunate headline, isn't it.
It is okay if you were going to buy a
new car now in their evs and hybrids and the
whole lot of choices and every you know, we've had
those smug people buying EV's because it was just the day.
(33:01):
How I mean, do you would you have a collection
of brands you go too? Or how long would it
take you to decide which which car? Make it a trust?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Three brands? Yep, this and Volkswagen and Naudi.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Oh he's a bit posh, isn't he? See I feel
I need to sow toed Her three times or Mazda.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
I would switch to Evolver. Safest car in the world,
drives beautifully. They've got a really great Evy model and
you know it's I know, it's kind of yeah. I
just think it's just a safety thing.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, fair enough, have you told leashes this or.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
You know, oh she's she's in the glemen rickyard.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Now I I should mention I actually was sponsored by
Masdra at one stage, so that and they were they
were great, had a great time with them, and they
didn't ask me to say that, by the way. It
was a few years ago. But anyway, there we go. Hey,
look on trends. Speaking of cars, there's been there's been
a bit of a survey on what we drink these days,
(34:00):
and I think apparently the flat whites are still in
you'll be you'd know this because you would have made
a few coffees in your time, Luke Frape's and you
know the sort of iced what are they? They're coming
a bit more popular with young people, and that's only
because they haven't grown up yet. What do you drink?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I'm a long blake with a dash of cream.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
And what is the most popular drink when you are
when people order it in your hospitality establishments?
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Flat white? All the day, all day long, flat white?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And what is the difference here's the question. You see,
what's the difference between a New Zealand flat white and
a New Zealand latte? And at last, because basically, their
milky coffees aren't exactly and.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
I just can't stand late. I think the latte all
those been the l latte is r this mes.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I love a latte.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
It's just so posey. Just have a coffee, you know.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Oh no, give me an ice light seat. You'll laugh
at my coffee order. Then you'll think I'm ridiculous, Sally,
because I drink DCF now because otherwise I just get
heart palpitations. So I get a DCF ice latte with
a splash of caramel with almond mile You'll hate me.
Want you look you're delightful.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
It sounds like you need to write it down and
have cards to hand over the counter.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
What is it?
Speaker 4 (35:12):
I actually so it's an iced caramel latte with DCAF
almond milk. And I actually wanted it yesterday. And because
there were so many add ons, this lady was like, oh,
there's so many add ons, I'll just give a couple
of couple of them for free. The cafe down in college.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Hell, so you actually had a serious cafe that would
make a coffee as.
Speaker 4 (35:30):
Yeah, every cafe has syrups, flavored syrups.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Yeah, this is just your way of asking for milkshake,
isn't it. It's really pretty much make my.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Own ice lattes at home as much caramel syrup.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So what do you get out of a dcare coffee?
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I actually love the taste of coffee.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I love that. I love it so much, And it's
the ritual of it. It gets me up in the
morning and I make my breakfast and I make the
coffee and I went from home. So it's a nice
it's the ritual of it. In the social element of it,
I think.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
So it's really just it's a caramel almond milkshake with a.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Splash of delightful. Hey, at least I'm not a much
a girl, you know that much a girl? All the
gen zs are all like, I'm a Marcha girlie. Marcha
is disgusting. I'm sorry. It tastes like eating whipped up grass.
I agree, it's hideous.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
I understand that they're just drinking it just to be
look at me, look at to be the.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Cool, cool Pilarates girls going to get to Marcha. I mean,
I love Pilarates, but march No, I think.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
You're only I think you're half a season away from
being a march a girl.
Speaker 7 (36:26):
After I don't know, although I think methinks she just protests,
does protest too much, you know, whipped up grass, Wilhelmina O'Keefe,
double double f one a. She's got macha written all
over the Wilma Marcha.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
It's not quite the same as the village people, lady.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Too many syllables.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
No, we'll dig into that after the break, shall we,
Or either that, or we'll talk about pretentious people who
have uts when really the last thing they ever do
is stick anything in the back of it. Apparently that's
that's one of the majority of the majority of your
people who own you drive around remiror and places like that,
making a nuisance in themselves and never stick anything remotely hard,
(37:13):
you know, tool wise into the back of it. We'll
be back in just a minute. New Stalk said, b
it is ten to four. There's that's there, we go.
That's the sound of the Quaker. We were talking about
that because of Milania Trump being a fembot and this
is the theme for Most and Powers, and the reason
we're playing it it is because it's almost thirty years
ago since he started rocking out to this number and Okay,
(37:37):
this is again where we need the cameras because Wilhelmina
is doing her best version of a fenbot.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
I nailed the doves, Ye.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Done.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Hey, look we've only got We've only got two or
three minutes left. So look, let's just let's just use
it talking about utes, shall we. So the majority of
rip of trips made by double cab utes actually don't
require these large, high powered vehicles. Look, if you've got
a boat, get the ute. Absolutely. If you've got a
bunch of you need to stick in the back. If
you've got some hard ware to move around, you're doing
(38:07):
a lot of DIY, you are doing a lot of building.
Get the ute. If you're trawling around going from latte
to late.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Maybe you don't need the ute.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
You haven't got a youte, have your luke.
Speaker 3 (38:18):
I definitely do have a ute. I'm going to this
end of ourn. Absolutely love it. And it's the fourth
ut have had.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Why do you have a ute for? I mean, did
you have Do you use it to pack into your restaurants?
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Maybe no, I doubt I use my ute because I've
got a boat which I tie a three and a
half ton. Well, you are forgiven and of I go
hunting open home signs, and I chuck everything in the
back of the ute and locks up my guns back there.
So I used by you in a great wave on
hang on.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
You said not to give you a hard time for
having a ute, But there's no way or give you
a hard time because you are the perfect user. You've
got a gun, you're hunting, fishing. I mean you just
trying to pack you in the corner. Oh you are?
Are you wanted to roll out with how butch you were?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
But hey, what's the difference with a ute and a LDI,
a seven, a big car. It's the same thing, right,
uestion for it? Drive right, it's a beg forward driving.
You've got these got the all due respect, you've got
these little ladies driving these range drover.
Speaker 4 (39:14):
Lady, you're trying to driver gl No, I'm a master
go you don't know. I wish gosh, I'm not that bougie.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
I must say I do have a slightly scornful attitude
when you're if you're sitting at my favorite cafe mirror,
but you see the range drovers and the utes pull up,
and I'm like, and then somebody gets out, and I'm
thinking you better have a big boat you're pulling on
that thing, buddy. But because I mean, there could be
a lot of bone owners around.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
That always judge a person by the ute, by how
dirty it is. So if you've got a dirtiest sort
of you're in and also look at the carpet. If
you've got a clean one, get rid of.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
My mum always used to take the mickey out of
everyone driving a land Rover, a range drover, anything. I
remember the so vividly when I was a teenager. She's like,
oh gosh, why not even on a farm.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Actually, the pleasure when I waked in the Forest Service
when I was a student and we drove the old
school land drivers, which could go anywhere, and I remember
going out into the forest and you know, getting it
getting to a really steep, slippery slope and the guys
with he said, just whack it into you know, into
low gear, four wheel drive, and it just went up
there like it. And that's what it's like. I finally
(40:20):
get it now. But you don't see many of those ones.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
Not many hells to climb in the city.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Hey, guys, I think we've had quite a good time today.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
It's all right, A plus plus would trade again.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
It's gone fast. It has flown by a few laughs.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Luke Dello, Wilhelmina O'keefne Shrimpton.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You know yeah, double one.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I still can't do it.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Double it one day.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
Lovely to see you guys, Thank you so much for
joining us. And guess what we've got to I've got
to change topics. I feel like I need to and
must go. You know, I have a shower and change
just to just to get myself in a new headspace.
Back soon with one refradio show.
