Stepping back in time.

of political urgency.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Oh next, what's Katy Pierry up to these days?
Speaker 3 (00:57):

Lucca Lucas Luca See, I want congratulations, I want Milka.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
My name is no Stop, Please stop.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I actually actually loved that song, but then I found
out it was about like it was actually really sad song.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Though it's a tragic song. I think everything. I think
she's been living Susanne in a state of permanent emergency
most of her life. She's one of my I love
her voice, and I like what she tries to do musically.
And but she came into the studio one morning, you
remember that five six years ago for five six, seven, eight, nine,
ten years ago, and she came in and I thought,
(01:57):
this is nice, she's coming in. And then she's sort
of she's one of those people you know in the
small talk before the interview where generally, I mean, I'm
a pretty affable sort of bloke, and where there's lots
of giggles and fun times to be had off air.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Not a totalitarian regime.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I certainly not a totalitarian regime the way I've heard
some people describe the show. But she sort of had
no chat. She was like so earnest. She kind of
like it was like, oh, I wish the news would
in so we can get on with this interview, you
know what I mean. That was by the way, Yeah,
and she refused.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Someone warned her that you don't do earnest and just
don't even try.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Someone said that just says on whatever you do when
you meet that, keep it shallow. So if you keep it,
keep it shallow. Giggle when it's spaces, there'll be spaces. Giggle,
smile a lot, and keep moving.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, we should change the name of the segment to
the right of reply.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Please.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
All week you throw people under the bus, me included,
and we don't. No one gets to come back. And
I just I just take this opportunity on a Friday.
I think to first of all, you you told your
audience can you sit and hand it hag it?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Can you call me Hagard?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You told them?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And then you can you do that? Can you do
that voice again? That?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
And then you said I called you a boomer, And
I just want people.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
All of these things come.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
From a deep place of love and respect. I was
telling you how much I love you and worry about you.
When you look tired, I think, oh my gosh, are
you're getting too tired? And and I worry that you
might be starting to look a bit. And I paused,
and you said Hagard, And I said.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I didn't know, Oh my god, the truth. I pause
and I filled them No, I did not.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Now listen, now listen here, now listen, I'm not going
to have shouting and I'm not going to have talking
over the top of one another.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Katie, You've made it well.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I was about to say, Roman Michael, could you calm
down you and say your peace please.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Belong in Trump's cabinet. You are the Pam Bondie of
the Mic Hosking breakfast.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
You. That's how it unfolded.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's the that's the truth.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's not faking.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
We never used Haggard.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You used haggard.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You introduced the word haggard.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Haggard. Anyway, My second point is I also am the invisible,
silent production assistant of this show. I want the best
for you, and I want the best of the audience,
and I want it to be great. So if I
hear that you accidentally mistakenly said something wrong, I quickly
text you so you can connect on it. And I
just texted you when you muddled up Coachella with stage Coach,
when you about limbs, I just texted you it was
(04:38):
stage coach, and then then I just added, just for fun,
the little hare. I sound like a horrible, horrible wife.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
You're not a horrible person as far as dictatorial ways.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
She didn't excuse me excuse me. She didn't identify herself
as a person. She identified herself as your wife. Now,
could you please reframe.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
That to what.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You're not a horrible wife.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
That's fair enough, and I know you love me and
all of that sort of stuff. Can I ask you
a quick question, Tim, just before the break? Do you
have any great interest in the mushroom case?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
What mushroom case?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Oh you sound like my mother on the email, Susan Vega,
Mike's amazing. No slagging you're off over forty years of
great Museum'm not slagging you off. It's just it's that
thing I think about. Geldoff the other day came into
the studio. Now, I'm not a boomtown Rats fan, right,
but I enjoy Geldoff and so he's a fun guy.
Vega probably like a music better than Boomtown Rats. Just
not a fun woman. But you don't have to be
a fun woman. It's not all about being fun. Tim
(05:41):
and Katy are with us. So the mushroom you've got
an interest in the mushroom case, Katie.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I'm obsessed with it. I want to be there at
the trial. I am like obsessed with that.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I was just the poison mushrooms.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Welcome to the party mushroom Gate.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean mushroom Trial first of all.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
But I want to know who's playing here in the movie,
which is definitely already being made. I just cannot believe
it's wasting everybody's time going to trial and money. But
I'm obsessed. If I could be in that gallery, well,
it would.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
To watch Netflix movie with Meghan Markle as the poisoner.
There would go, There would go Gangbusters.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I reckon anyway, But given you know what the story accent,
what is it you're going to? What is it you're watching?
Because this is what I don't get about the story.
It's a it's a it's a slam dunk foregone conclusion.
They've already got her on day one and it's got
five days in five weeks and four days to go.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
What is it you're watching?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's just the theatrics of the denials, the tears, pretending
to have cancel and you don't. It's just like you
can't make the stuff up. It's so it's hilarious, slash cringe.
Is it true it's train crash material? You can't take
your eyes off it?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
But is it true that most murderers are thick because
it seems that.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You think they can get away with that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Well, yeah, but that's what I'm saying. What makes you
think who ever got away with a murder in terms
of no one had a clue at the end of
the day, so.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
She had don't ask that question so recently?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
No, no, no, no, no. What I'm saying is so
she had different colored plates. Even the relatives picked that up.
She googles death cat mushrooms. The police follow her phone
to the area and.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
She goes to both the death cat mushroom.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
She invites her estrange husband for some beef Wellington and
he's not derangement.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
She thinks, you don't see the information I've got.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Them here, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't know? Yeah, mind you, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No, no, I look by the way, I think I've
come up with a solution for you guys. Now, Mike
is in touch with his mum through email. Why do
you guys just email each other instead of shouting at
each other?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Did I rang you? How many times I you yesterday
when you're in the house? Did I ring you twice
yesterday while you're in the house here?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, I think you did.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, because you don't reply to my text when you're
also in the house. So I used to text you
while you're in the house, but you've never reply to them,
So now I ring you while you're in the house.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's true, it works, it's effective.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You always get me that way, exactly. But my mother
just to reiterate the story, what's the what's it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Why didn't you? Why didn't you call it? What's the email?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Because I had he doesn't answer her phone, don't answer
a phone. So I email just just in that I
better check in, because you know, I've got I've just
been on the herall and the stuff websites, and there
were three hundred and twenty seven weather alerts yesterday and
trampolines were flying and there was a very rare red warning.
So I thought, I know, I'm going to email my
mum and I said, how's that emergency going for you?
(08:44):
And she comes back half in our lady and goes,
I don't know what you're talking about. And I assue,
you've been in an emergency in christ which most of
the afternoon, Selwyn, since the previous night, and she goes, well,
it's been raining heavily, but Apart from that, we're still
going walking. So I thought, clearly, it's not quite what
it's been ate out to be. She'd never make a
box up on the news, would she. Exactly, No, She's
(09:05):
just doing And that's what the Yorklan based media don't
understand about. Basically, the rest of the country down the
South Island, a bit of wind and a bit of rain,
and if you get ankle deep in your red bands,
it's hardly the end of the world, you know what
I mean?
