Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Wilson, how are you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
But it's your camera. Miyle teacup clacking against the microphone.
I feel like I can hear a teacup tinkling. Oh, whoops,
that's me.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You're a little cup of tea there.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Apologies?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Have you got the question sharing collagen.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Into my tea? Because you get to a certain age
and you have to really go hard on protein.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Let's start talking about tomatoes then, since we're doing the
old person talk. What I what I've realized about you, Mike,
is with your glasshouse, you've christ Church eysed tomato. Growing
up north got a long warmth season. First of all,
brought christ Church up north.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
First of all, christ Chur's funny, you should raise it.
First of all, it's a winter garden, it's not a glasshouse.
But your point is interesting. Last night on the news,
I watched the crime rate in christ Church has allegedly
gone through the roof, absolutely skyrocket. It's carnage in christ Church.
And so I'm just carnage is.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Probably a stretch, but I do think it's it's indicative
because I remember saying to you when Auckland was going
because my sister lives there, and she'll be quite competitive
about crime levels, and of course, being an older I
always lose. And she was telling me how safe christ
Church is, and so whenever there's a ram raid or anything,
I always.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Send it to her.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And yesterday I saw that there was some crime in
christ Church and I said to her months ago, it's
just it's just it's gonna happen. What happens in Auckland
will get there eventually. It'll just take a bit longer.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And now it's there, and you reveled in it.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Not as safe as your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's cold and crime ridden.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Now you were you doing? Were you doing? Kate's voice?
Mike is that I wasn't Everyone says Mike's voice, Well.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I can, but no, I don't want to what I do?
I do think I hear enough of his voice, and
I'm sure that I do too. But what I thought
was funny this morning was Greg Farren trying to defend
in New Zealand, which is like forget it. And I
loved it when he sounded so optimus, can I be?
I loved it when he said and new uniforms are coming,
(02:14):
It's like, mate, they could be in sax I just
want playing.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh my god, have you been talking to Glenn again?
He's like saying the same thing to me. To be
fair to Greg, and I like Greg, and I want
him to do well, and I wanted in New Zealand
to do well. But I think he probably got a
little fizzy on the fact they were painting the planes
and the fact they had new uniforms. Because I don't
know that any no one key is. No one gives monkeys.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
If they've just wanted to leave on time.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
If you could turn up in a Quantus uniform and
some Crocs but the plane took off, we'd be happy.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Would you should be getting a deal with Crocs at
this point?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I should be.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Actually I've received no freebies from Crocs whatsoever, because I
put them on the Did you see the Books court
case earlier on today in Germany?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Books? What's that?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Books wanted their shoe to be seen as art by
being seen as art than they can protect it legally
more easily. The judge turned them down. They are not art.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's a show.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
What about if you wear them with socks?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You see, Oh, that is a crime. That What about it?
What about if you wear them as ear rings could
be an.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You're an idiot? Would next quick question, I'm going to play.
I want to play a game after the break called
is Micah Snob? Are you in for that?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It's good, it's a good new game is immediately Yes? Yeah, yeah,
just let's just go to the break and confirm it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
No, if if you landed in Toronto and you slid
along the runway and the plane flipped upside down. But
and this is not to make jokes of you know, disasters,
because this wasn't a disaster. It was just an accident
and everybody got off. Is thirty thousand dollars recompense? And
how do you come up with that? And does that
once and for all tim prove that people think money
(04:06):
solves all ills because I can't work out what thirty
thousand does for you. If your plane was upside down, you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Got off, that's I mean, I'll take it if. I mean,
of course, but.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Does it solve your problem? Does it fix it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Does it?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Does that set the precedent going right next time your
planes upside down?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
It's thirty grand? Yeah? No, it does it does? And
you're right, money doesn't solve anything. Money creates problems. We
forget that.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
In America, that's all they know what to do is
write checks. I mean, that's that's how that whole system works.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
That's the well. But then again, Toronto, So is this
in the American system or the because you think.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It the isracon system, it's the it's the Yanks. And
it was only seventy six people. And do they do
the numbers? Think about this at headquarters of Delta. I mean, Greg,
are we a.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Lot of them are critically injured?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Weren't they? No?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Three people? Three people went to hospital?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, but but okay, this is this is this is
why I race.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, so hold on, you were saying this critically and
you're offering thirty. The guy got off and he gets
thirty as well.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
What's that about the shouldn't he go to the injured? Yeah?
The injured people should get more. They should get all right?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And what about the kumaras who leaves the country and
who doesn't? No, it's not you know what. I think
the parents have broken the lord. They should lose. The
son is the innocent victim.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
He should stay.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
But is he a victim now because he's all by himself?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But I mean he's not he's eighteen.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Would you leave you're eighteen year old in another country
as you got booted out?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, not me, because I'm a helicopter mother. But no,
I probably wouldn't run the risk in the first place.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
She wouldn't even you wouldn't even leave her in the
mall foreign country.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Earlier reports And Mike, you don't have to play the quiz.
You are a snob, so very much, so quick.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I think something people need to understand is that even
as a child, and I've confirmed us with Nana, even
when you had nothing, you were a spot and you
wanted the finer things in life.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Even when I had nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Even when you were young, you always you always stuff.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You couldn't afford.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Sixteen year olds, for example, would buy a beaten up
old Well, let's speaking of terms Suzuki swift. Let's say,
for example, you wanted to buy like an old jack.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That's not a person.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And let's exactly when I when I interviewed Mike in
the nineties and Radio New Zealand, he had dollar signed
cuff links and the aura.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
That was true, that's so true, it's true, disturbing.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
One of the only five five first mobile phones in
the country, as well.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I had a roll of brick. I had a motor
roller brick. I was about this is true story, this
is pathetic. I was earning seven and a half or
it might have been eight and a half thousand dollars
a year, and I had a two and a half
thousand dollar phone. There we go, two and a half
thousand dollar phone. Hang on, I've still got the spade.
(07:16):
I've got a two and a half thousand dollar phone
on eight and a half thousand dollars a year, and
I've also got a two and a half thousand dollar
beta video machine. Then with what was left of my salary,
I went out and bought a two and a half
thousand dollar motorbike. So I've spent my entire year. You
might sandwich and I didn't think about what I do
for food anyway. Be that is it my quick question, Debbie. Now,
(07:38):
now we're a packer not knowing what's going on in
the Pacific in any way, shape or form. Am I
being a snob in expecting better or public representation?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Tim go, Yeah, I think she needs she needs to know.
I don't think you're being a snob. It's just requesting
something of leadership. She's the leader of the party, Marty.
She she needs to be across that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I would say, good answer, Katie. Your answer, Yeah, you've
got one job.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You're in Parliament, you're representing the people.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You should be across the issues of the day.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
That was a massive issue, up and down all over
the news. You can't have missed it. She sat in
the house, she even asked a question about it. So
I actually don't believe that she didn't know what was.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Going So she's a liar. But that's still my same question.
Should we expect better republic officials? Second question Katie used
to it may.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Be something, but it may be something about Tapati Marti,
who only care about a particular segment of the electorate.
So what the desert is it? Is it the extremity
of m MP could.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well be the extremity of the m MP. Very good point, Katie.
Bean Bag trays one, do we have one? I can
answer that now we don't. Of course we don't. Bean
bag trays and eating dinner on your knee, am I.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I've brought one of those. You get them at Briscoe's.
I saw them the other day. Actually they No, we
don't have them, but I have actually purchased one in
the past for one of the children when they were
unwell to have to have meals in bed.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But no, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I think you should sit up at the table and
be a family and communicate and that that's your time.
No phones, no screens, engage.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, So I'm not being a snob.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
No, no, you're actually this is this is because because
you're a massive introvert. But you're you're attempt You're you're
defending social interaction. I'm constantly confiscating lego from the boys
at the table, drawings, all sorts of stuff. You want
to sit at the table, look at one another and talk.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's Sam, Sam says, And this is a not unfair point.
He's by himself, he's lonely. Sam's very lightly So he
defends sitting down on a on a bean bag, sitting
in front of the television, watching the tele his.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Partners at work.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
That's fair enough.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I defend that.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
If what about the fact he doesn't have a dining table.
Am I a snob by suggesting everyone should have a
darning tablement?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Probably you realize one of our sons, the one living
in the UK, isn't a flat that has no dining table.
I mean it's not not everyone has a dining table.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That's the scott Well, that's why I'm asking am I
stop by expecting him to have a dining tab. If
we go to Scotland this year and walk in the
door and I go, for God's sake, Josh, is your
dining table? Is he gonna look at me snobbery?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I think what you're what you're doing is you're defending
the relationships. So they need a dining table where they
can make time.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Sam says he's got one outside.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Okay, we'll go out. That's good for summer. Yep.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
And my my question would bring.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Maybe he could wrap his bean bag tray around himself
in the winter himself.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
So what we've concluded, and this is very helpful for me,
I'm not a snob.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think you're okay, Yeah, you're still a snob.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I mean those were good examples. We can give different examples.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I thought there would be different Yeah, I thought there'd
be different questions. To be honest, Oh, I'm sorry, but
we're playing that. They're my rules.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think we're talking about your desire to only wear
one hundred percent Marino, and not having a or cotton
fabric any in your skin, and only sleep in linen
sheets and.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Only a bottle, And how you seen myself? You know?
Why is your Oh well, your voice has just gone
