Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kate hawks me, Tim Wilson with us, Good morning you too,
good more mourning? What do you pay for the doctor? Timmy?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh about seventy three?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Seventy three? That's not about that's a very specific number.
It's seventy three. And when you pay that, do you
do you do?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
You?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Do you grim us? Or do you feel value for money?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
No? You know what I do? I do what one
of your texters do? I stack up stuff? So it's
like I've got X, y and zed, this is what
I need. Can you renew this prescription?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Don't they don't? Don't they don't? They ping at fifteen
minutes ago? Nah, this is the third thing. You can't
have three things?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Talk faster?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Is that what it is? I'm here for three things today? Bang?
Bang bang? What do we pay, Kaddie?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't know because exactly that where you go in
and if you go the fifteen you tip into the
next fifteen minutes, not so you pay double. So it varies.
I don't know what we pay, but it's certainly north
of sixty five?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, so could it be seventy three? Are wet if
you could see?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
But I've got it. If you're a bit squeezed on
on the you know that front. I've got a bit
of good news. There's a bottle of cold duck coming
your work, hostco cold does we may cold duck your favorite.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Don't you worry.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
We made a deal. Remember I said Trump wouldn't get
the Republican nomination. It's happened, It's done, so I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Completely forgotten about that. But no, well done you, No,
well done? You, well, not well done you. You don't
know anything about America politics, and yet you made it
for a while. But the bottle, I'll be well receiving.
Have you wit? How much have you watched this week?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Tim, I've watched but some pieces. You know what was
what was interesting to me? Well? I watched the catch
up and what was interesting? How did I find out
about it? I looked at my Instagram after I've got
a haircut, and for various reasons, I follow x WWF
wrestler Hulk Hogan, and it was on his Instagram feed

(01:55):
and that's how I discovered it.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, do we follow Hulk Hogan, Caddie, No, we don't.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
No, we followed him, which is equivalent of punk Kogan.
I guess, well, I followed him. You don't have Instagram.
But it's interesting because I know Richard Arnold was saying
to you this morning, and you've been saying this morning
that is Biden gone at the weekend, and we were
hearing actually, funnily enough, and this is prior to the
assassination attempt on Trump, so before that even happened, we

(02:21):
were hearing the word was from the inside, you know,
allegedly the whispers that Biden while I was going by
the end of July, that was the plan all of
a lot, all along, and it was just a case
of how they eased him out graciously. So I'm deeply
suspect about have COVID really or is this just the
beginning of a hut?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Well, that'll be my mayor culper, because I not so
long ago, probably a couple of months ago, I could
not believe that they'd buy a pass or sitting president,
especially to go with someone as crazy as Kamela Harris,
because I don't think they buy themselves a solution in
doing that. And I've never subscribed, so I'm absolutely convinced
he's out now. It does matter when it's but they've

(03:01):
got to do it before the convention because you cannot
go to the convention and have a big scrap on
the floor about who your nominee is going to be.
So they're going to have to wrap it up in
the next month because they're in Chicago in August. And
so I'm absolutely convinced he's gone now. And so it's
but what about that is, if you've got Karmala v.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Trump, you've got crazy crazy all that lower the tone
and faster than you can say another assassination tent.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, but you've.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Also you've also got Karmala Is she's she's Beltway, she's
Washington Beltway. And you've got Trump with JD. Barnes, who's
like the working class background, swing states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, et cetera.
I don't I mean, it'll just be an absolute route.
I can't even see. You know what, who's the other alternative?
Gavin Newsom, governor of California.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
They can't put it still beltweigh as well. You can't.
You can't bypass the vice president to go because what
you're essentially saying is one, when you made a vice president,
you made a mistake to although you are the vice president,
you're so weird. We don't want. You can't do any
of that. She has to be.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
They're not arguing her. Polling, say, looking Pole the worst
ever of anyone, no.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
One, you could argue it, but you don't. You can't.
How do you present that to the world. Look, we
looked at KRMLA. She's as bad as that other old
guy we've just got rid of. So let me introduce
you to Gavin. I mean, how does that work?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
There's no Karmala has been an excellent vice president. She
flourishes in the role. We're going to keep her in
the role. He is Gavin.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Imagine, now here's the thing that good. This is left field.
She wins, she wins, and she becomes, much to Hillary chagrin,
the first female president of the United States.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Well, that would be a travesty.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
You want to put a bottle of cold duck on that.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, No, I do not. Mike. Family of four doctors.
That's impressive. Three of them are special as, seventeen years
of training for some of their specialties. People have got
no idea how long and how hard and exhausting training
hours and de barns are on doctors. They deserve every cent.
That's why I raised question. I tend to agree with him.
If you if you look at a doctor versus a
lawyer versus a you know, executive, you're talking hundreds of

(05:06):
dollars now, and that's essentially what you're playing, Joe. So
just let's run the book for the record so that
we know where we're at. So, Katie, does Biden survive
or not? If he doesn't, who replaces him? And then
ultimately who wins the election? Call it now, we'll win
the election.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Biden is going and I think you're right they can't
go past Karmela. But I think if they do go
past Karmela, it will be giving you some young, good looking,
super annoying and sickly sweet. But California, when you say.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Young, is that because I'm so old? Because he's not
actually young?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
What we preserved? Yeah, he's not young.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
He's not Let me have a look, Irick, he's fifty six.
What do you call the election?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Okay, i'd say late forties. Well, he's more Katy's era.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
He's much younger than Mike.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Okay, he's fifty six. Told you see, I didn't think
that well preserved. So you call it tim Does Biden survive?
Who's the replacement of he doesn't, and who wins the election?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Okay, so Biden doesn't survive the replacement, only go with
the very young and powerful Gavin Newsom, and time's going
to take the election. I've got a question for you, yep. Okay,
So this is Glenn Campbell, and my question is Galveston
or Rhyanstone Cowboy and why.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's a really good question Galveston because it paints a
picture of America and American landscape exactly wistful.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's this conflict. He's in the war, he's remembering it.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
See what's we're agreeing? What the hell is going? No?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, no, very good, very good question. You have you
ever been to Butler, Tim in your time as American correspondent?
Butler were a place like it, like the Russ Belton, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
But I have become a butler for four boys. But
do carry on?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
No, It's just I looked at we talked to Nick
Bryant a lot about it. You know, you look at
those places where those houses and the lack of jobs
and money and stuff, and that's that's what I don't
think we understand about America or parts of America, and
that's the bit that the Trumps and the answers appeal to.
And you can see why they win because you know,
you think about Newsome and California and Karnla and California

(07:23):
and Pelosi in San Francisca, they wouldn't have a clue.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
No so called fly over states.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah yeah, at this point, Katie ask you for your
best Brussels sprout recipe. But that suddenly to me sound sexist.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Okay, fair enough. I was just going to quickly address
for the audience something that you can do a lot
on here, which is read out a text to the
question and then not answer it or address it.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
So I was just program, have.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
You now turned on your stance on EV's And I
just like to answer that for the audience. And the
text is no, you have not. We are not and
will not be purchasing any EV's and you're not buying
an out of E tron, nor have you.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
That you know of that I know. And that's the point.
You raise a very good point on my ability to
ask a question then never answer it because things move
so quick.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's annoying.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
It is annoying. You're quite right. What else, while we're
broadly on the subject. Would you change about the program,
Katie if you could.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
No. If I know how your brain works, it moves
so fast. You're always moving on to the next thing,
next thing, next thing. So you read a text and
you're halfway through it, and your brain's already moved on
the fact that its question means you don't answer it.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
And so in my mind, actually it's twenty two minutes
away from nine and you were gone twenty minutes ago.
But sorry, what were you saying this way?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Is this a diagnosis?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
It's a little it's a little bit of the more
I think. If you if you want to.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Definitely on the spect anyway, sorry, carry on.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
If you watch Receivers, which I'm watching on Netflix at
the moment, also the Quarterback Series, but the receivers, there
are more of them. So this is American football, I
suspected apply to most sports. Most of those guys. I'm
absolutely convinced I've got a d h D. If you
look at the way they behave and act and talk communicate,
is they're all the same as people like me in

(09:14):
that kind of that semi.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
We do have a lot of ADHD in the family.
You're not I think you're more as burgers.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
But you know, we just I think to play everybody's
favorite game.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Where are you on the speactrums?

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I say, bridges.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
With what a noise followed by conditions and see this
is all free. The brilliance of this, this is free.
It's diagnosing for nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Sending an invoice skates and I'm going to say a
bit of best burgeons were just it was just spice
of adhd, just to sort of like hottail on a
Friday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
That what it is the answer to the Russells sprouts thing,
though surely is a natural, isn't okay?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
No discussing. You've got to caramelize the out of them.
You've got to really nuts roast them.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Can you feel like Brussels? Now myself, I'm sorry to
our apologies.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
And with the bacon, With the bacon you can camera caramelized.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
This is exactly right. You've got to do whatever you
can to make it not taste like a Brussels. Exact.
If a thing can't stand on its own two feet,
and wrapping bacon is an admission it can't, then it's
sort of defeats. But the roasting is very good, Katie,
thank you very much for that.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The roasting of the of the Brussels sprouts or you
what what were you.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Referring to see here? I'm now at seventeen to nine.
That segments now over.
