Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right now, the boss is standing through the double glazing,
and the reason the boss is standing through the double
glazing is Timmy.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
You're there, Tim, Yeah, I'm listening. I'm here. I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
There. Someone you need some suitor eff dream. You don't
sound well.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
I just I might have bowled a couple of durries
last night. It's not the end of the world.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh, okay, bold a couple of durries last night. The
boss is standing. He wants the technical quality, probably also
from a programming point of view, the programming quality of
the segment to be improved. But technically speaking, we're trying
this thing this morning and it seems to be working
so far. Are we feeling good?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Okay, feeling don't know about the programming quality though, I
can't be responsible.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's early. It's sort of my job. It's only nine
minutes past and so I've got a couple of minutes
to build it up. A couple of quick questions for you, Katie,
just telling everybody in the other studio about your week
and the administration. Should we go.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
Further, Well, I think I'm just dealing with stuff that
people deal with on a daily basis, AKA anything to
do with the council, and I'm dealing with the council
and it's over a CCC issue, and the levels of
admin and bureaucracy and checklists.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Just what's okay, what's the what do you mean a
CCEC issue?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Oh no, No, it's just co complant on our on
our pool and our bob got done and we had
we're waiting for inspections.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We had final inspictures, everything passed tickety boo.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
But getting the final then you've got to apply for
code compliance and that turns out to be quite a mission,
quite a mission.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It's worth and we don't have time, even though the
segment is about twenty minutes long. We don't. We don't,
We don't have time to go through the detail. It
is worth going through the detail one day just to
explain and show everybody in this country and it will
be councils up and down the country run the same
program that the amount of energy and time and money
that's spent on essentially doing nothing important. I mean, a

(01:59):
pool is a hole in the ground. It's not a
weird pool. It's not a dangerous pool. It's not a
pool that's killed thousands it's just a hole in the
ground with some wall.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Just the replication. I think of all the paperwork.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
You're replicating things over and over and over and over
again just so they can tick a box. And when
you question it, they're like, oh, it's just on the checklist.
If it's relevant to your pool or not, as kind
of doesn't matter. They need to have some paperwork around that.
So the whole thing just takes such a long time
and scene so every contract drived out worth because I've
had to go back to all of them for original PDFs,
et cetera. Have said, don't even get me started. These

(02:31):
processes are always horrendous, and you know, so everybody's in
the sas I've got.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I've got. The solution was washing about how you deal
with this?

Speaker 4 (02:40):
What you do is you do an eighteen hour podcasts
just the two of you. I'll be washing my hair
that day, and you call it CCCD.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
See how it goes.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Why don't we call it? Why don't we start? I
don't know the headline of work Council troubles so that
a podcast that will get a lot of downloads to.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Count him that would go gaging.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Buster Council troubles questions for count.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I wash my hair the next week, councils.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Mike and Cat. Father's Day tim.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Apparently I'm booked to go to a soccer tournament. Roman's playing, So.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That's super exciting. What better role on a Father's day
to be your father on the sideline chilling your youngster
onwards and upwards.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Absolutely, the last time, now forgive me this moment, but
the last time in the semi he scored the match
winning goal and punted them into the finals.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
In the semi and the finals. That's that's a leak
sport talk. That's not about That's not about participation, turning
up and having fun. That's about why do.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Not start Do not start with this nonsense about how, oh,
it's just about participation at amateur level. The boys lost
in the final and they were gutted because they wanted
to win. Guess what, even in amateur sports people want
to win. It's not about participation and good feelings.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Did it take you some time to come to grips
with the fact that you had a sporty child, not
perhaps one ensconsin a library.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
He could be a sporty poet. We don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
He's a look. Look, he actually he wants.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
I think he's probably more soccer player now, but he
wanted to be a soccer player and a priest at
one point. So I feel like I feel like we're getting.
But what you're saying, Mike is that I'm not sporty.
That's ridiculous. I'm extremely sported in my squash, the press ups,
the vigorous walking.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I'm an athlete.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Okay, So what you just did there is laid down
three things, one of which I knew about, which was
press ups, and I will give you that some press.
So I've never heard of vigorous walking, and certainly I've
never heard of play squash before. And I think you're
making that stuff up, Katie. Can I just take you
back to your time in England were Oasis? Because I'm
thinking this is we've got carried away with us. Were
you there when Oasis was a thing? Or am I
predating them?

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Or you are huge? I'm signed up to the press style.
You realize, Oh god.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Oh no, no, are you going to take Mike huge?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
This is iconic, absolutely iconic, and Glenn's him to find
a band that sounds a bit like them.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Boohoo thumbs down nothing.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Of the guys.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I don't even know the names of the guys in Oasis.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
What is it Bruce and Kevin or something.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Here's the funny thing, because we did the Times guy
yesterday and he was saying, I don't know whether all
the other members are going to be with them, and
I thought, what are the members? Because that's one of
those bands that beyond Liam and No what were the
other members?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Katie?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Actually I don't know, but I don't think anyw what
he does.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Can I just say, Katie, if you get, if you
get to take air plugs. I went to see Oasis
at the Logan Campbell Center and my ears rung for
three days afterwards.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh really, top.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
The volume was your hemorrhage at Campbell the acoustics of
the Logan Campbell Center. But but I just the reason
I asked Katie as I wonder if they were more British.
They represent a grunge style Manchester down at Heel and
themic songs of hope. That's a very British sort of
thing as opposed to being truly you know, global, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Or not?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
And I think the story too, the fact they broke
up and it was so kind of acrimonious, and the
fact they're getting back together after all this is I
think everybody's kind of on board with that kind of
redemption story.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
I think it's just a good story.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, listen, I've got actually two announcement for you. I've
got two announcements on Okay, you know, Katie, but okay,
because you can't play this game Tim next week. Yes,
I have a musician on the show and I like
him and I want to talk to him and it's
quite exciting think about who that is. And I have

(06:31):
money for you as prizes for Father's Day if you
can come to and do not talk to Katie and
get the thing in the break mic Oasis a britpop
not grunge. All right, Nick, if you say so. I
thought that the same sort of thing Mike's Oro Oasis
in March of ninety eight, Norkland, Logan Campbell. Then the
car to Holt Pavilion. Nothing will come close, and a
time and place thing the carter Hold Pavilion. Where are

(06:52):
you going? I'm getting to the Carterhold Pavilion. Please might
let it be Rod. It's not Rod, Trudy, but good
try damn it, Mike, I'm way more excited by Allison
Moyer releasing a new album than Oasis. That's fair enough.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Tests.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I wasn't Allison Moya delightful on the program this week?
I'm sure both of you caught that.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yes, she was. She was almost as good as Timmy Nielsen.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
She was good. Well what did you think of the
Ellison Moya interview, Katie?

Speaker 3 (07:16):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Getting CCC is a full time job, and my job
starts early, so I.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Missed.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Unbelievable. The announcement of the tour is Brian Adams is
coming to the country. How much excitement does that fill
you with? Tim?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I thought I was going to get some money.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
For no, no, no building. That's how you build, boding and
throughout the half hour what you do as you toy
with people and just get the good stuff at the end.
So Brian Adams is coming, He's here in September. No,
he's not a liees and here of February next year.
They're so happy it hurts tour and tickets go and
say next Wednesday? Is that cool?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Katie?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Are you on the mailing list for that or not?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I'm not on the mailing list for that.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, would you be interested?

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Can you hear the energy in the voice though.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Excited or oasis? You realize they're not actually touring here,
don't you?

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah? I know for the UK?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh, sorry to the UK. My apologies, my daughter for this.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
She's fizzying and she's signed us all up. In fact,
she's probably signed.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
You up for the pre sale as well, because she's
desperate to get on the ballot for tickets.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
So we're not going to get them because there'll be
millions in the UK.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
But what Cardiff? What happens if we get three tickets
to Cardiff?
