Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Wilson, Kate Hawk's been good morning, good morning, good morning, morning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning, good morning. Do you honestly not know who's
Sabrina Carpenter?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
It's funny you should say that. Yes, I did, because
the boss and I had an argument about her a
week or so back, when I said I didn't know
who she was, and then he educated me as to
who she was, and then in the ensuing two weeks,
I'd forgotten because I once again said, well, you've.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Got issues because I've heard the name of your Father's Day.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Competition and I feel deeply uncomfortable about the name of it.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
What's the name of the competition?

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Well, I heard the pro that's the Father's Day competition.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
No, I I had the promo for it.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm not what's the father's called? Who's the daddy?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Who's your daddy?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Who's your daddy?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
That is creepy?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Is this like? Is this do you win a paternity test?
Is that? What's what's surprised test? I mean, come on,
let's get on message.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's not a bad that's not a it's not a
bad idea. I don't know if the Primo department got
into that. I read the information to in front of me.
Who's the daddy? Who's your daddy? Who's the daddy?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Not who's your daddy?

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Who's the daddy?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
So I think there's a there's a there's a little
difference there.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Is there who who's the daddy?

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yes, you just don't to say ever again now, No,
I think.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We're bearing the lead here though, Which is what.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Is the biggest thing that that has happened on the
show in the last hour is that you used to
play the harp.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
No. I asked to play the harp and they didn't
have one.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
You asked to play.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
That was the whole point of the story. The story
is because I went to a poor school when they
said you had to go because.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
You were useless at tech drawing, which I'm surprised by it.
I'm surprised by that. You're quite a tidy person.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I'm a very tidy person. But it's one of It's
why I had a lean on the pool table I made.
It would work and by the end, by the end
of the table it was a little mini pool table
and would go to the special place. You know, at
schools that didn't have many facilities, you hopped on a
bus and you went along to a specialist facility. And
a specialist facility we went along to was a woodworking

(02:09):
shop and we made a pool table, and I thought,
this is the greatest thing in the history of world anyway.
And you bought felts, and you stained your wood, and
you screwed your leaves, and you had all that little
little little holes, little pockets, and you played with marbles
at the end of it. And the funny thing about
it was at the end of it, mine had a
dreadful lean, so all the marbles rolled to one side
of the table. Ah, epic failed. So I had to

(02:34):
drop woodwork to take up metal work. And so metal
work we went to a different place and I made
Mum for Mom's day. I think it was, if not
her birthday. A key ring.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Did it work?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of course it did. It was metal. It had just
a shape and some hooks coming out, and.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
It was.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
To be frank what I didn't estimate at the time
of the design. Because I'm a creative and so my
design was brilliant, my execution was crap. And so the
design was so sophisticated, I couldn't execute the design, so
it came out really really ugly, and so I take
that home, I give it to mum. I know it's ugly.

(03:14):
She knows it's ugly, and she has to stick it
on the wall and hand the keys on it.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
But she did it anyway because because she's your mummy, because.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
She knew I wasn't going anywhere great and all I'd
done was make a kill ring and so she had
to keep on encouraging me. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
But I think I think this has solved. Okay, this
has solved the father's day problem. Harps on Timo two
fifty bucks?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Could really you can buy a harp.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I mean that it'll only last for about three months,
but he'll be over it by then and he'll be.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Probably wouldn't be a full sized one.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yeah, no, nothing's.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
False full size the full sized ones. I've done a
bit of research on this. The full sized ones are
around one k. But yeah, there's actually there there's a
big after there's a big after market and harp secondhand
harp No kidding, it's.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Like Christmas presents, Christmas presents and harps in the aftermarket.
What did you play as a kid, Katie? Instrument wise, I.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Wasn't very musical.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I knew it shows I see it in the way
you dance.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's this whatever I think like everybody started like learning
some piano and then they're basically petered out. But I
did more the kind of singing, dancing acting.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
You're a then there's no question. But I mean, what
did you play to him? Because the question this eric
A Stanford thing is if she does nothing else in politics,
the ability to pick up one of bassoon and two
soon after twenty five years and play what she played
is a little short of remarkable.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yep, yep, And I'm sort of alongside her. I can
bust out Indian or dance on the piano anytime you want.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
So you learnt the piano as a kid, you don't
play the piano. Now you could walk back to the
piano and go bang there it is my party piece.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Well yeah I could. And you know what, I could
do a simple version of rak meninofs preludn't see sharp minor.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
You could.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
I could too. I've done it. I've done it.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You literally could walk up to a piano and do
rac manonoff right now?

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Well do you want it to happen after the break?

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Have you got a piano?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Of course, we don't.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, if you've got a piano, you've been playing it.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
No, no, but listen, I have not been practicing, that's
the deal. I haven't.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I've just happened to have a piano in the
house and let me play some rak menanoff after the break.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
What a show off?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
You're at the piano, tim.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Well, you said you accuse me of being a liar.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
You don't have a piano, do you?

Speaker 4 (05:55):
No? No, hang on, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I didn't you look you treated me worse than Darling Tana.
You called me a liar.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
But he's certainly never going to be a liar. He's
scary straight up.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
At least.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Wait put me on what hold?

Speaker 4 (06:14):
Here we go? No, no, you're on speaker.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, here we go, ladies and gentlemen, Mister Timothy Wilson
with rachmaninoff.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
Start again.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
M h y, here's Indian waters.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm amazed the Herald haven't filmed you and stuck them
on their website. That is gold. I can barely breathe.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Are you all right? We can get through it.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
That's here we go? Is this red Man? There we go? Yeah,
I've got Rekman and off here tim and it just
doesn't quite sound the same.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Well, I've said the first three bars. I actually gave
you three and a half.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Do you know what I'm looking forward to today, Katie,
apart from the Sigma is Oh God, do you know
we've got We've got thousands more listeners listening to the show, right.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
We serve up this robber?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
And how did that happen? How is it possible more
people tuned in than last time? And I don't anyway
do you know what I mean? No, I'm not. I
just I can't get over that. God bless you for
doing that on on radio. It's because I couldn't bring
myself to death the chimney sweeps coming. Oh yes, well

(08:10):
I think it is too, because I love and do
you know The Repair Shop? You know the television program
The Repair Shop that the King was right?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
You love you? I know we're going to say you
love answer zen people who do craft, you know their craft?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
Exactly what I was going to say, Katie, Because if
you want to, and if you've got time, there's a
piece of video floating around this morning from the latest
The Repair Shop Because, for reasons best known to themselves,
TV and zaid by the repair shop. They put it
in a cupboard for eight to nine years and then
bring out old episodes and present them as new. So
in Britain overnight they repaired a little toy for a

(08:44):
young boy. And when they revealed it, I won't give
it away. When they revealed it and what they did,
it's just the greatest thing you will ever see. It
was absolutely fantastic. And we've got three chimneys too, so
lots of work for the chimney sweep to come around
and sort out for us.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well, you can just hover around him and have a
good old chap bit.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Of a young exactly stop him from doing his work.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Short stories.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
I'm sure mate, I've got three chimneys to sweep.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I've got another job to get too later this afternoon.
As a person basically my age, let's call people fatter
they're fat.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Oh, it was just the Clarkson thing. Yeah, yeah, I
think you can call Yeah, you can't call it.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
You should know that we have a teenager in the house.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
You can't knowing a teenager fat. I'm calling Jeremy Clarkson,
who's sixty two fat fat.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
But he's fatter, isn't he?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
He's fat? Young, and you should know that you're not.
And I even talked to Sam about this story.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I'm talking about them. I don't know what about obese?
Is that beast? All right? It's just like you know what,
you know what. I was talking to a Pommy mate
the other day and he said, there was a guy
at school.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
They called Tim Tim. You can't say pommy.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
They called him fat Pet. They was Patrick, that's fat Pet.
It was a bit chunky, fat Pet.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
How much time do you have spend Katie on the
phone telling Tim about all the things that I've done wrong?
What is this some sort of counselling services operating there?
What's going on? Dam?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
We just had a breech out and I said, Sam,
I've talked to him about this. I'm so sorry. If
you can stop him saying fat, I can't. I don't
know how to stop it.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's so bad.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
He's got to fay large.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
He's on holiday next week, sair large. Yeah, No, large isn't.
It's words are descriptive, and that's the beauty of certain words.
You know, you know where you're at with a good
descriptive word. If you say large, it just makes you
sound you know that you're not.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Really Jeremy Clarkson, who you were referring to it he
called himself fatal.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I see, I think he would, and I think not
only do I think he would, I think he has.
That's my defense.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I think you're in the clear.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
