Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kate hawksby Tim Wilson. Good morning and welcome to twenty
twenty five. Goodness, I mean you, yeah, welcome so exciting.
Quick question for U KD. I'll start with you first.
I got an email on my work email this morning
claiming to be from New Zealand Post. It's the second
email I've got from New Zealand Post saying that good news.
(00:24):
They've picked up my package and it's on its way now.
It is for ed. This is my question to you.
It's from Electric Cherries, so I'm expecting an election.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Wait a minute, yeah, oh.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hang on a minute. Is that a company, because that
could mean that they've said they're sending.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You a gift.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's exactly what I'm thinking. So I don't want to
click on anything because that's how they fool you. So
I'm thinking I didn't order any Electric Cherries. But then again,
it's entirely possible that I don't even know these people
are true. Electric chairs could exist. They could be sending
me something, and if they were, I'd want it because
I love cherries. But I don't want to click on it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Just past hope it is true. I hope you are
being seent Cherries. But It doesn't require to click on anything, though,
did it? I mean unless it said click to confirm
your credit card details or your address.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
No, So I think.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Ford it to Glenn, get him to click to confirm
his credit card details and see what happens.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Okay, Well, there was supposed to arrive sometime between six
forty five and ten forty five this morning. Oh and
I have no notification whatsoever from downstairs yet that they
have arrived. So when they say six forty five to
ten forty five, I'm assuming it's you know, eleven fifteen.
And sorry, I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You're well, it makes no sense because your office, of
course you're ended me building is literally on top of
virtually the post office, like you're right next door.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Oh so true?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Is it really should just be able to hurl it
across to you?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
But I don't know why do you do it? Why
don't you do it? Old school? Just popped down to
the post say you got a package for me. My
name's Mike Hoskin.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
You know I went down there once and I know
where it was.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
They may not, they may not have just brought it
up for you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
No, that's probably true. Term a question for you.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I'm having a coffee this morning, by the way,
from scratch, which is not very good. So I'm going
to need to send somebody across.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There to wait a minute pay for that coffee. Do
we owe Sam money?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Not yet. Have I burned through the amount of money
I give Sam money? He doesn't think, He doesn't think.
So so here's the question for you, Tim. So my
coffee machine breaks, and it breaks after six years, and
the parts look to be unavailable, or at least one
of the parts required looks to be unavailable. If you
sell something, is there an obligation on you to supply
(02:38):
parts to make it work again?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
There is there is, But for how long? I guess
six years is long?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sixty years?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Six?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I mean, if it was fifty years, fair enough, But
six doesn't strike me as a very long time for
something to break.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Can you get the part from somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You mean in the world? Yeah, well possibly, but that
would around looking for I want to go to the
shop and to go, hey, mate, this is broken, give
me a new one of those. Go oh, we don't
do that. We don't carry those. Now that's not cool,
was it?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You know what I feel? I feel like five years.
There's a good statute of limitations. But I think in
six maybe, if you're straying a bit.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, not sure.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Other coffee machine at the other houses lasted eight ten okay,
ten ten years?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh my gosh, and you're still going.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
So you brought the wrong coffee machine. That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
That's the conclusion I'm coming to. That was the other
upsetting thing. One of the things that went on it
was the screen and talk to the person and I
says this comment. He went, yep, Now he didn't tell
me that when I bought it, did he? He didn't
get it.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Here's the rub The parts and the labor to fix
it are going to come in at about half the price.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Of a new machine of a coffee machine.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
So do you just get a new machine?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
A half year you're starting to get up there. I think, yeah,
you got I think you might have to. You might
be out, You might be up for a new machine.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I've got a question. Can I ask you a question?
Do you like to check the question? You one? Okay, listen.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I want to first congratulate you on on turning sixty.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
The figure Well, because it's an achievement, it's a time
of review.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's not it's not an achievement. I mean, thank you
for saying. It's a nice thing for you to say,
but there's no achievement in getting to sixty's better.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Than well, just hang on, don't cut me off. Don't
cut me off getting to sixty to be whom you are.
So now you're generally known as a fighter, but the
thing that's great about you is that.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You're a lover, the beacon of your marriage and family.
It's honest to me.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You should see me doing some love lovely.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Oh now I'm not saying I'm not saying that. There's
also not a trail of weeping politicians in your in
your wreckage.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
But no hats off. Happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
By question though, yes, my question is a questioning different
to forty and I'm sixty, different to forteen.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sixty is very different.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Can the new forty sixty is the new.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I'm not I'm not convinced that's true, and I have
a thing about that, Mike. A coffee machine with a
screen is not a coffee machine, and you hate coffee snobs.
Only a nong buys a coffee machine with a screen. Personally,
I'd buy a new machine to somebody else. Somebody claims
seven years. You need to supply parts for a legal
requirement for seven years. And somebody says holding off for
(05:23):
ten years of one going customer support when the brand
ended in New Zealand will ten years not long enough
because the car goes longer than that.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And it's the.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Brand of the coffee machine, the one that's broken.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Bazira, they claim. Bazerra claim to have invented the espresso
machine in nineteen oh one, right, so they should have
been thinking about it nineteen oh one. I wonder what
will happen if the screen goes rushing it to market
like an Apple product.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah, you don't want the guy that invented it, you
want the guy that perfected it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
That's the one, well said Mike Casey rang and the
Cherry story is real. Mike Casey is an interesting Mike
Casey wrote an article in Newsroom the other day, very
linked the article and Newsroom in which he referenced me.
And I think he thinks I'm a luddite because he
gave this very comprehensive review of electric cars and he
(06:17):
runs electric machinery and his cherry orchard in Central Otago.
So he's a really cool guy. He doesn't like me, obviously,
but that's okay. I dealt with that before. Doesn't bother you, no,
Mike Casey. So he is seing me cherry, so I'm
receiving cherries.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
He was to make up why is.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
He sending you cheeries if he doesn't like you?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Because he wrote that article in newsroom and he whipped afterwards,
either tacked hosking one too many times, I think is
what he thought.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
You didn't even read it. But I mean, if he.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Didn't put it on here, what if he's lad to cherries?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Why he's the gn sam to taste everything I eat it? Yeah, yep,
absolutely got that. Cave it off.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It gets me to open all those envelopes with the
white powder and.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Exactly right, okay, Tim, question for you, yeah, hey, wait
wait wait, you didn't answer my question, which was what
how was sixty different than forty? M better? It's better.
I struck a bad patch at fifty. So firstly, I'm
not into birthdays and I don't really care about them.
It's just numerousy and it seems pointless to me. We're
(07:28):
our youngest was eighteen, so that's material because laws change
as a result of being eighteen. So I thought that
was cool. Nothing happens when you're sixty or so, I thought.
Yesterday through the mailbox, guess what arripe? I haven't told
you about this, Katie, but guess what a ripe? Because
you're out all day lunching anyway, So guess what a ride?
Yesterday through the mailbox?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A gold card?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Oh? Oh, how we laughed, Oh how we laughed.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So it was a time at home brochure riyman care.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
A letter is this?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
What are you?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Are you the new Fox Met Life?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You can't you can't say that on a show that's
sponsored by a Vida Stop it now, Okay. It was
a letter from the Ministry of Health inviting me to
participate in the bowl screening program, and I thought, how
depressing is that?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I don't do that.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
So they were right.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Question for you to Last night. I hadn't told Katie
about this letter from the Health Department. But last night
I'm sitting there thinking about my letter from the Health
Department as she is soaking her feet in her new
in her new footspa. So we're sitting on the sofa
me with my letter from the Ministry of Health and
her were their feet and the brand new footspar And I'm.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Thinking, may.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Are we at our vita anyway? Have we already checked
into our veta? We just don't know it.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
We basically and I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Vibes at our place and I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But you've got it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
The key to the foot spar is the magnesium. You've
got to put up some salts and it's a great
way for your skin to absorb magnesium, which we don't
have enough of, and it's excellent for you. So there's
a health tip for the morning.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You don't need a foot.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Can I say never participate in any of these programs
like I volunteered to be a human guinea pig for
the medical experiments in New York because I was so yeah,
I was, I was so hard up and discovered I
had TV had to give up the grog for nine months.
I don't got back in the longest nine months of
my life.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
In defense of Tefata Order and my very good friend
Marjorie Appa, I don't think they'd regard the bowel screening
program as a medical experiment.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
In your case, or maybe in yours Michael.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
In your case, I think you'll find it will be
a medical experiment.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Very nice to have you back for another year. To
Kate Hawksby and Tim Wilson.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to
News Talks at B from six am weekdays, or follow
