Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Just spread spreading the love about the place this morning.
Do you know what I mean? Though you're you're a
season broadcaster, you must have interviewed people, you know, like
on a consistently sort of you know, ongoing you sort
of and you think, jeez, that's a good I like
the relationships you form over the years where you start
off with a young person or a newbie or whatever
and they're a bit quiet or shy or whatever. Then
(00:29):
they come out of themselves and before you know it,
you're still dealing with and you think, God, you're a
good guy or a good person. I love you. You're you're neat.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
You're neat too, You're neat.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You're also softening with age.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I'll tell you what it's not like the Mike Hosky
I encountered when I interviewed you at Radio New Zealand
with your mullet and your dollar bill hand was a
cup links.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
For the record, there was no mullet. There was never
a mullet. A mullet was when I see no, no
I am the cuffs of your collar. I'm sort of
pathetic in my old age I've decided I'm sort of sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
You're getting better, am I don't recoil from old age.
Embrace its bottom. Sixty you're sixty five, that's great.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Shut stop laughing. It's got nothing to do with age.
It's just it's life and times and experience.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's wisdom.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What is it? I don't know about that either, do
you know? O, Katie? We haven't talked about this at
home this week because we've had such a busy week.
Haven't we had such a busy week?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, yep. Anyway, what is it? We haven't talked.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
About Duncan Web?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh? Well, why would we talk about that? To be honest,
if you brought that to the lunch table, I'd be like,
are we short of material in the marriage now? Because
happy couple with stuff going on in their lives talk
about Duncan Web.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Because I found it interesting. And this is where you
probably come in as well, to because I found it interesting.
In a world of conspiracy, I want to take him
at his face value. And Ginny was on the program
and she claims to be a very good friend of his,
and it came out of left field. But the fact
that she claims to be a very good friend of
his but didn't know. Then leads into my conspiratorial side,
(02:17):
which goes, why do you wake up one day and
just go, you know what, I quit and I've got
another career in me. But Tim, you did that, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah? I guess, Yeah, it depends I went to something.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Is he going to something adventuring?
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
No, is that we had a whiteboard session and your
Actually I actually heard about a whiteboard session of the
leading media organization and a person in the room said, oh,
my name's got up there on the whiteboard, and they went, oh,
this is awkward.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Is that a true Is that a true story?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That sounds like a TV Z moved?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
We know how TV is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
When I'll tell you what you know.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
When when they guessed more Magazine, we got we got
gal I was working on More Magazine and we knew
it was coming, and they invited us.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Up to the boardroom and on the board on the table.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Of the boardroom there was a single box of tissues,
at which point one of my colleagues started weeping copiously.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, that's how they did it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
And so so the did she know he know that
he was going to get axed or everyone was getting axed.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Everyone saw it say, oh, the numbers aren't good.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We had an away day, you know, which tried.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Did anyone drill down to the fact that that was
probably what sunk the magazine by having too many away days?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Now, it wasn't it, you know what it was just
it was just the magazines, you know, they are just
not as proper as they as they used to be,
and people moved on. That's what happens with you know,
That's what's happening I think throughout media and journalism.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But you quit journalism and you've gone off to do
your current things. So then it's a that's a mid
career slash change of gear, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Do you reckon? You could do it? You reckon if
you woke up tomorrow morning and said this this this
magnus magnum thing that I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It's called the Maximum Institute's big.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
If you got sick of the corporate the corporate swill
that you're drowning corporate? Do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Why do I take the bait every time? You do it?
Every time? I just take the damn bait.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Fish in a barrel Mike has anything substantive planned for
the segment or is it hosking in the media type
drinking coffee?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Obviously, obviously it's a lot more savage when the media
types of drinking coffee.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I couldn't be set on it's.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Friday night drinks on a Friday morning, That's true, Katie.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
On a scale of one to ten, one they couldn't
kill less ten. It rained down on you the Instagram
post you put out there yesterday as you sat in
your car at the corner filming the teachers and their
placards saying toot for support, and it went on. How
long was the tape? Was it forty five fifty? Was it?
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Video them? While I was stopped at a red light
on the corner of pontsam Bingja Voice Roads, which is
quite a busy ish but it was early. It was
like just after eight in the morning, rushing.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
How much tooting actually went on in the period of
time that you were at.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The red lint the time that I filmed, there wasn't
a tout And I put that up and so then
I took heat both ways because I wasn't making any
political statement. I just thought it was funny because it
was like four people too for support for the teachers,
and I thought, Oh, this would be cool of video
this and see how this goes. And then so I
got a lot of people saying, Oh, there's way more
tooting in our area.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
That's typical of pots and.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
B blah blah blah, and a lot of people going,
no joke, no toot. I'm at home drowning in my
children because they're off. Yet again no toots from me,
and I realized that I had waded into a political.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh boy, by accident.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Exactly what would you assess if you were tall but mills,
what would you assess the percentage used.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
To be.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, I would say sixty.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Forty in favor of not in favor of notes. I
think that geographic breakdown would be interesting, though, wasn't it
What sort of neighborhoods took more than other stages? People
are weird? Are you doing your steps?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Maybe? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
People who appear to be distracted slash out of breath.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh people, can you notice that? I'm really hoping you
wouldn't notice. So what happened was I was trying to
get away with this. I went out on my walk
and I thought i'd be back in time. But it
was my big walk and I thought, I'm going to
take the dog. She'll be up for it. And fatal
mistake because I'm carrying a three and a half kilow weight,
he'll be a small weight. I've been carrying her for
about forty minutes and it has slowed me down and
(06:44):
I'm in time for the slot. And so I've been
up a very steep hill and I'm carrying the dog
and the fay thing is I've been walking past I
walk past her. A car pulled over on side of
the road listening to z'd be listening to. I could
hear us back, and I was so tempered to just
jump in their carr and do you mind if I
just finished the slot in your car?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Because can you hold can you hold the mut while
I finished the slot?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Can you hold the dog? I just need to do
this quick home.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
What sort of It's very embarrassing, was it, Azeka?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It's such a you question. It was a nice car.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, that's why I want to hear. I like to
think of our audience as nice car driving people and
non tutors. I think we've got a lot of nice cars.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I got I got a question.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You should have bailed the openly of s guy up
about this. Is it soccer or football in this country?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
It's football, It's one hundred percent football.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
It's not it's soccer. We've been calling it soccer for
one hundred years. It's still so I have this argument
with my tenure. He just shouted through the door, it's football,
it's not, it's soccer.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
You.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Well, the reason I didn't ask Nick Bickett, who's a
very close friend of mine and I like him tremendously,
is the reason I didn't ask that question is because
that's a credibility issue question. Tim. You don't you know,
if you know, you know, and you don't. You don't
ask questions like that because then you look like a plunker.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, it's always said soccer, thank.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
You, thank you, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
And the reason the reason they changed is that, oh,
it's football, is because the Bricks got upset that the
Americans were using soccer and they said they're not going
to have our words, so they changed the word.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Did you hear Tim the Nicol Revishanka interview yesterday?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I didn't catch that.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Okay, Well, I'll continue the conversation with Katie Katy did
you hear that interview yesterday?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Actually, that's the interview I was listening to when I
was filming the not being too to that teachers right?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
And so what did you make of him?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I thought it was quite good. Actually, I was worried
for him when he when he began, and I, knowing
you like I do, I thought, oh, this isn't going
to go down well. When a guest comes in for
the first time and attempts to hijack the interview because
he he asked him his first question and he went
before we start the interview, I can just say something.
And I thought, oh, but you were funny. You said
he you're gonn announce a grab a seat deal. That
(08:55):
was good, diffused it, and he was I thought. I
thought he was quite compelling. Actually, I've got I'm optimistic
about it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Would you take out a Corryge membership on the strength.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Of it.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
A Coral Club membership?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Would you go? That guy is so good, I'm going
to join the Courrier Club. I mean it's a test,
isn't it not.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I can't understand why anyone would go near the Corral Club.
It is heaving with people. You can never get a seat.
It is just an absolute cluster. I cannot think of
anything worse than being tracked in a corry lounge.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Do you get your free corey with your chief executive
officer's job term at the corporate No?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
No, no, no, we don't so.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But you remember you can tell us you are, remember,
aren't you.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, No, I'm not, but I have.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
I have thought about it, because that's that's where all
the power brokers are.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
That's where the brokers are deductible. You realize it's tax
deductible though.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's true. It's this is this is any value.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's also football not I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
And also I love that you.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
You didn't take the baits when the guys that you
know yesterday, you actually diffused it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
See, this is the this is a softer.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Softsking, that's what That's what they're calling me behind my
back these day.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
No. No, you're getting better with age. You're maturing like
a mor lot.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Have you got close to home, Cady?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Well no, I think I just lost you.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I think are you lost?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
No?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I just lost coverage.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Actually on the anything you can you say.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Where I am, which is by road cone. So if
anyone sees someone stranded with a dog by road Cone.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
That's the best advice I ever gotten radio. They just said,
pretend you're not on air, and it's it's worked out
all right for me. So anyway, if you're not home
by the time I get home, Cadie, I'm going to
the country by myself. Okay. So you've got you've got,
you've got forty minutes, come get me. Nice to see
you have a good long weekend to For.
