Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you remember Katie she got whacked on the head
at that concert?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Did she?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (00:06):
I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Details mean in this marriage clearly? Are you going to him?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. Remember she got waked on
the head by a chicken.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
No, it wasn't a chicken. She came out of the chicken.
But she came out.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
It wasn't a chicken. But we told the kids it
was a chicken.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to retell the story.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
We had to tell out.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
And then I got abused on social media for taking
kids that they claim were too young and underage to
be at it.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
It's such a graphic, you know, risque concert.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
At the time, I.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Took a lot of grief for it, did you?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
But I didn't know she was going to come out
of a giant you know what? That was a chicken?
Kids like, what's that? Why did she come out?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
She just came out chicken.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Let's just go with chicken.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Let's go with the chicken.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Can we can we keep moving? You?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It was a big You got to explain this because
it was a big There was big scaffolding on the stage.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
God, why is it less disturbing?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That she's come out of a chicken. That is true,
it's not about and if the kids had been alert,
the next question would have been as, why would you
come out of a chicken? So, but no one asked
that question anyway. So they've got big scaffolding on the
stage and she's climbing up and down the scaffolding and
at one point she moved and one of the crossbars
came down and like smacked her full on in the head,
(01:28):
and I thought, this is concussion. If this had been
Super Rugby, she would have been off straight away. Concert
would have been canceled and she would have gone to
the HIABN and she probably wouldn't have come back. But
she carried on.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Because she's a trooper, she's a pro.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's what I took out of that, because that cost
us eight thy, six hundred and fifty seven dollars to
take five kids to that concert, didn't it? Remember that?
You won't remember that, of.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Course, and probably none of them even remember it. That's
the irony when you do amazing things.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That Marley walked into the room and he said, do
you remember the such and such at Fiji? And she
goes no, And that was just another hole of them.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. But do you remember
do you remember those qbs that you used to get
from the Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I remember all those? Yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Josh, one of our kids, he collected. What did he
collect that we quite like? What was he into?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
The mighty beans?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Mighty beans.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
They weren't from the supermarket though.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
No one had a bigger collection of mighty beans than
the little Josh.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I think I've still got them. I'm keeping them for grants.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And that's another thing I need to talk to you
about the crap that accumulates him. That the crap accumulation
is just next level.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
No, let's go, let's go. Birds.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
On the other foot, though, what about the Marino Cardi
collection that's got to be bulging out?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
And I wear it every day.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
From purchasing any more of those.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
To my my supporting New Zealand industry Marino collection, I
wear literally every day. So I get turn when you
out of them. Now, look, I'm so mispasiety. I'm serah
pologies hold debut my cruise collection on.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I'm getting into fast fashion.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Once you go past sixty, do you not just have
to not change your look anymore?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Can't you just settle on something and that's it for now?
The age in life comes into the back.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I fegere, that's what he's doing, Glenn, that's what worries me.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
That's what I'm meaning for to No, it's too much.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
My friend Diddy, which is where I get some of
my clothes from, and he's into what he calls quiet luxury. Yeah,
that's it. Quiet luxury where you get this look whereby
it's just it's it is what it is. You know
what I'm saying. It doesn't have labels anymore and all
that sort of stuff. And I'm sort of I'm rocking that.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
And it's interesting how expensive quiet luxury turns out to
be the price.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You mean, it's costly quiet luxury. I need to get.
We need to get.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Actually, there's a great off shop up at Mazkhana where
you guys are.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You got to go down there. It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Katie's a do the Quiet op shopping. Katie is a regular.
Katie's got a gold card at the Op Shop in
Madicana and.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
She got but I should because it is a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's a good one through Yeah, Tim, talk to me.
QB's at your place. Are you a collector? Have you
seen them? Do you know what we're on about?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
I know what the business model is here. They give
you free stuff, then they charge you a display box
nine bucks. That's why they're doing it. So we've got
we've got QB's. We have, Actually, we've had some discussions
about qbs because not the qbs, that's the issue. It's
the it's the packaging around the QB So it's left
all over the house and who picks it up?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Mom and dad?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So on your part, but let's not go down that way.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
Well no, no, no, it's an it's an opportunity to
get them to pick up their own damn p.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Would you say that this is because I like the
plants they gave away the little shops or that. So
I understood that this seems to me to be stupid.
Is it taking off in your view? Is it a thing?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
And it's an absolute thing, and it's it's on the
back of winecraft so and it's the collection thing, just
like with your Marino Cardi's. People like to collect stuff.
That's just what it is.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Mike may be quiet elegance, however, is this is where
you're going, you might want to change the rip jeans. Now,
I'm wearing a nice set of rip jeans this morning
and it was black. There was a pair of black
jeans this morning with no rips, or a pair of
blue jeans with rips, and I've gone blue with rips
and I'm looking really good.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Mike, dressed to your age. You're sexty. Put on the
jeans without the rips.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
That'sticulous. Sort them out, Katie. Tell them about age. Tell
them about talking about age. Go and tell them now go,
oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Aging is fifty percent attitude to aging.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
So if you think and talk to yourself that you're
getting old, or you finished sentences worth.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
For my age, like I'm doing well for my age,
then you aures on a cellular level telling your body
to age faster.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
So the key thing you can do you don't need
to fight it, but you just need to keep thinking
about your vitality and that gives you better longevity.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And health span versus life span and being chronically ill.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So that okay.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
So the measure, the measure isn't your age. The measure
is my imagination and my eyes. Put the non rip
genes on or oh.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No, you got to You've got to be You've got
to have a certain figure to where them will to
have you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Oh, I see.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
That's how it goes now, Katie this song. We did
the tourism thing this week with the micro influencers and
the influencers and the people and all the money they're spending. Now, you,
as I tried to point out, are an influencer, although
you don't make money from it, and you deliberately don't
make money from it, despite the many people who who
you know, broach your doorstep with offers of kindness and
financial reward. Does influencing work?
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Unquestionably?
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Young eyeballs are on social media, and so you've got
to be where they are. I don't actually believe the
metrics stack up as much as they claim they do,
because how you measure it is really interesting in terms
of engagement and is engagement you know, how how do
you measure with that person actually went and bought that
product or did they just look at your ad?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And the other thing that influencing. I don't think people
realize there's huge money in it.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
They're incredibly lucrative deals they're offering, but I find them
so transactional. They make my skin crawl because the way
they come at you is quite aggressive. You know, you
do this for us, and we'll give you X, and
it's usually a large sum of money. But what you
have to do for them is you have to run
all this content past them. You have to hijack your
own Instagram with reels or whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Because you're bought and paid for a.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Yeah, and you become this kind of.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
You're the performing seal. I don't like it. I don't
the seal perform.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
It feels wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I just don't feel comfortable with it, so so I don't.
I don't like to engage in that aspect of it. Might, however,
is talking me into it, wants me to because then
he can retire because it's very lucrative.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
How lucrative?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
How much?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
How much would you worn? If is it tens of thousands?
Tens of thousands for a single thing with a company?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
And if you're doing a campaign or if you're I mean,
there are different You know, you can be an ambassador,
you can be a face of a company.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You can just endorse a product.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
I got sent a thing the other day whereby you know,
what is your fee? To do x amount of coverage
with this new product. And but whatever it is, you
have to do this for us, and that immediately puts
me off and so but everybody, it depends on followers
and engagement all that stuff.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I mean, the people with you know, lots and.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Lots of followers, they can name their price and they
usually get it and they're making hundreds.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Just huge money, very important question just coming on the text, Mike,
just a question. Does Kate sing the diamond fusion jingle?
That's what they're saying, Just Kate sing the Diamond Fusion jingle?
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Jingles, maybe there's more money and generals?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Are you saying no? I haven't heard of no yet
because it's jingles.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It's jingles.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Rachel Rachel sings jingles. Get into it. It's a great time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah? There is, there is. There's a bit. There's a bit. Hey,
can I can I do a take on the lunches?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I mean that was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
We do that.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I mean, that's money, that's gold right there. Sorry saying yeah,
you know.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
You know the lunches, the lunches thing, the whole school
lunches thing.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
It's just an example.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
It's an example of policy that doesn't understand human behavior
is always going to be troublesome because kids don't eat
their lunch. They either don't eat their lunch even when
you make it, or they do eat almost anything. Because
this week I heard about a toddler at kindy whose
mum discovered that she had eaten eighteen glass pebbles while
(09:50):
at kindy, and mum only discovered this when she was
changing the napping.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Oh my goodness, sorry, I just had to tell it's.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
It's so true, isn't. It's not like we don't have
teens of decades of evidence about kids and lunches and
what we're doing. Yet we still, and all these years later,
manage to turn into okay, sing us out Katie the
