Speaker 1 (00:00):
Quick question, Katie. Yeah, good morning to me and good
morning to you too, Tim, Good morning. I was there.
I was in the two questions. Actually I was in
the other room a moment ago when you were asking Sam,
can you be on air and text your son at
the same time. I'm not supposed to hear it.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, no, because I just had to quickly hang up
on him because he called, probably.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Not realizing well obviously not realizing that I've got to.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Be on here. And so I said, I just want
my UK based son to know that I still love him,
and I didn't just hang up on him for.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
No good reason. No, would it help if you didn't
do the slot?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
No, no, no, no no. And then I went on
to say, which he probably left the room for that,
I'm dedicated to the slot and I I will just
continue like the professional that I am, and I will
be professional first and mother second, which goes against the
grain for me, but I'm doing it.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Do you want to give a week shout out to
Joshi Joshi Poshi on the other side of the world, listen,
of course, he really can do it on the eyehart
of course is on the He's on the eyeheart.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
He wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
He wouldn't have a clue what that is. I actually
love the how often Greg gets mentioned and he's got
his own sting. And Greg is not a listener to
your show.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
No he's not, he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
He has no idea that he's even talked about his owneous.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh he knows he's talked about. He just doesn't listen.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
That's how Greg cuts it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
And I wish I could remember what he said to
me yesterday that was so good.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Was that something to do with Liam Lawson, because that's
what you're about immediately? Probably?

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, probably it probably was something.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
To do with Ryan Fox. That's been the story of
the week, hasn't it.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
It wasn't to do with Ryan Fox. But yes, I
believe Ryan Fox is probably close to being the story
of the week because I love people who as I
said earlier, I love people living their dream and it's
just just to do what he did. I mean, I'm
having played golf and no, no, no, no, are you comparing
yourself having played?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Is this actual goal or many golf?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I was at a pro am, the New Zealand Open
pro Am, and I won it.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
And I beat that Donald would have Trump's courses.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
No, it wasn't. It was at Michael It was it
was at Michael Hill's course. And I beat I beat
Peter o'mealley. Do you remember Peter o'melly, the professional golfer
Shawan fitzpatrick.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I mean, you told this story so many times on
here they could just repeat. There must be a tape
of this.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Do you want to go talk to God, Peter, Peter o'melly.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Who else did you beat?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Shawan Fitzpatrick?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Mike, Mike, I'm on the edge of my seat. Who
else did you beat?

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Shawan Fitzpatrick? Andrew Mertins and Greg people who play other sports,
Greg Turner.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Okay, all right, now you got me having.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Been in a position to be victorious when you weren't
expecting to be. I can, I can, I can watch
that chip from the edge of the green, thinking to myself.
And that's why I asked him when he was on
the program, how many how many times would you get it?
And he was honest about it. And the answer is never.
Those those parts, they're they're LUCKI puts. Even if you're
the greatest player in the world, their luckparts. A great
player will get a ball close most times, but the

(03:03):
ability to actually pop it in the hole, is next
to next to him possible? And yet to see him
do that was was absolutely brilliant.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Second question, I loved that.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Sorry, carry on.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I loved it.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Can I just say I love the way too? It's like,
you know, I'm a bit dusty this morning. Got the
kids in the car. You probably heard them, and you said, yep,
isn't that a great point to be in life? And
I thought, well, there we go. There's the voice of
experience talking exactly. He was Wines last night exactly.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Couldn't agree more. He was going to be on the
show later, or in fact, he might have been going
on the show earlier. But he couldn't be on the
show earlier because when we rang him to be on
the show earlier, he was in a toilet with his daughter,
and so he said, I'm just I'm just putting my
daughter on.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
The toilet at a little chip chip here?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Can you ring back later? Second question, Katie, if you're
with us, and if you haven't put yourself on mute hmm?
Was Jason's here with a T shirt on today?

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Oh? What a team player?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I said, Should a guy that looks like you be
wearing a pink T shirt.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Oh, for goodness, you bullied him on Anti Bullying Day.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I can't believe that was I would say.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
You said that, I said, I just asked, and that
was my question. Is that bullying?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah? That is bullying?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
You bully?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Can we can we talk about the other victim here? Sam?
Who's a bullying victim? Mike's Mike keep saying he's seven
years old. He's not. He's a big boy. He's nine
and a half and.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
T shirt. It should be Mike because he is the
ultimate bully.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Absolutely, I have exciting news after the break. Do you
want to know something?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
You're in a pink T shirt?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
No, I've got a brand, a brand new to market product.
Who loves a brand new to market product?

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Katie?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
You do?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Is it? No? You do?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You idiot?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
The question is you do?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
One loves brand new to market products more than you.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
You're ediot. See now he's bullying.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
U k a pink tim Do you know the price
of cheese?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Price cheese bell eleven bucks for what a kilo? For
the name brand stuff? You can get it for kg
kg get it?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's for the name brand stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
But so if I could certainly choose. At eight fifty
for a kilo, you'd be thinking this is good stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I'll be totally into it.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Fantastic. So Katie Sam had a meeting with Fonterra yesterday
and they've given him some cheese. Now, this cheese is
not available in this country. It's available in Japan and
China and South Korea, and it is I've got to
get my facts right here. It is cheddar right yeap.

(06:00):
But the magic is it tastes like parmesan. Oh interesting,
I'm glad you said that aged it. I'm bringing some home.
They've aged it rapidly with a.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Secret past cheddar, and it tastes like isn't there something
wrong here?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
No? You mean, shouldn't it it taste like cheddar?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
No, because what they're saying is that parmesan's so expensive.
If you can make take cheddar and make it taste
like parliament, you're saving the money. And at eight fifty akilo,
they sell it in China and Japan for twenty twenty
kg blocks at one hundred and seventy dollars, which is
eight fifty akilo. So if you can take something cheap
and make it sound like something, that tastes like something expensive.
You're onto a winner.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
No you try it, you're turning a main course thing
into a garnish. Parmesans are garnish.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's not a it's not a white dog KD. No, No,
come to the party on this one. Come to the party.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's not just shaved on top of pasta. Parmesan is
consumed by the slice.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Parmesan's the occasion.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Can you try it onto a butterfly toast?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
So a bit of toast, bit of veggie might do
the cheese microwaver.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Bubble bubble, everyone's happy.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Bubble bubble. Okay, So I'm going to I'm going to
bring that home. If you'd shown any interest to him,
I could have sliced I've only got a slither because
it's black market, so I could have sliced a bit
off and given you some. But giving you shown no
interest in it whatsoever, I'm going to bring it home
exclusively for Katie's procurement. It's called chetta sun Chetta sun.

(07:27):
Chetta sun sun is a sign of respect in that
particular part of the world, so you call it.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Chettas parmesan as well.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Straight for marketing, you can tell he's been in the
the world of marketing. Can't you hey question question Cold
tar sober Ward for the week?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Who deserves it?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
You know?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Cold Andrew Advance? Is it?

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Is it Jantinetti or is it Brook van Velden al
after the conversation with Winston Peters, Is it Jerry Brownley
for letting it in to the house?

Speaker 1 (08:01):
It is it's you've got to go to the source,
the sources Advance she started it all.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, the hypocrisy of this has really really bugged me
this week.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
If it was.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
A female journalist, say Heather for example, said the same
thing about Jacinda breakloas the media would go, it would
never be condoned.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
She would be canceled.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
There would be uproar because it's the other way around.
It's crickets are chipping. It's disgraceful.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
What if she wins that? There's a herald, No it's
not herold What are they called? What are they called?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
The night?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
There's some awards tonight, Media, the Voyages Awards. So this
Andrea is up for a big prize and if she
wins it Reporter of the Year, I think, well, there
you go, Reporter of the Year. So then what if
she wins it, Yeah, and what if she wins uses
the word in her thank you speech?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Use it exactly exactly, Kate. So you're calling it as
Andrew as well.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, because you've got to go to the start. You
can't blame people for picking up and running with something
that was started to. So it's got to be her or.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
No, No, I'm not, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
I'd say I'd say for the subsequence though, it'll be
a bit of lux, not the cold tar. So Andrea
deserves the coltar, but the rest the rest of those
who enable that.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
They're enabled.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yep. Course standards slip. When everyone slips that is.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Well, then the editors. So Andrea writes something randoms.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
The editors deserve the cold tar too.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, they do. So the editor you write something random,
give it off to somebody who's carrying the responsibility and
they let it through. So they're the gatekeeper as well.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
I would argue, I does speak, and I think maybe
I'm getting old and I but I find myself agreeing
with Winston not as old as the generic standards are
slipping everywhere the media, Parliament. It's depressing, honestly, everywhere you go, service, cafe, culture,
everything seems to be subpar these days that we need

(09:52):
a massive rocket under us. I don't know what that is.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
But we need a huge uppercut is what we need? Yes,
well done.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
To start by being polite and nice to each other.
You guys are awesome.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Nine.

Speaker 1 (10:03):

asleep yet or not?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
She's already done it. She did it in the break unbelievable.
It's the twenty first century, mate, get used to it.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Good on you probably nice to send a tick on
what'set while holding a call.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You're a good person.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Is that way?

Speaker 1 (10:18):
You put yourself on mute? So you almost you almost
got the tech under control. Nice to see you guys.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
