Absolutely, well, you know how to do that.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
I do know how to do that.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
You asked Glenn to do it for you.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Something like that. Hey, you're not going to leave me,
are you? Oh no, you're not leaving me.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Who are you talking to me?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for you, bro, But
just no, we're.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Just we're just having another one of those worrying conversations
off here in which I sort of I've come to
the realization that I've got no control over my life
and and then it's taking you to figure this out.
And then Jason Jason called me, it's.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
My bit of judgment. You continue to wear what you
want to wear.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I try.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
She buys such nice outfits and nice onesies and you're.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Never wear them. Come on, let me just get an insight,
not glint him. It's just Jason Jason called me an
elderly man and then use the word widow, and it
just it all sort of visually stunted and pluy. My
whole life was in front of me, and it came
about because I've got no idea where the money is.
Where's the money? Cady in the bank. Yeah, that's well,

(01:11):
that was my point. My point is we're talking about
the fact that I didn't I don't know how to
get into the bank.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Hey, do you know what we need to follow?

Speaker 4 (01:20):
In Japan, the working man of the family gives his
entire salary and.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
She also in remuera, as it turns out, pocket money.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Exactly when I was. When I was teaching in Japan,
my my boss liked to get out on the rastas
and drink, but it'd run through his drink stipend by Wednesday.
So he had mates who were sponsors. He go off
to the airplace and that sponsor sponsored the In Japan
they call him ink or parties. So I think, what's
what's what's the least you got, Mike?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Why don't you sponsor me for drinking? Kaddie, it's not
enough the.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Least you're on.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You're going to tighten that least.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
You buy extortionate amounts of wine at enormous value, You buy.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
What about the Marina of Kashmir and.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Marina clothing that I can stand?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
And you buy expensive loafers, designer loafers with tessels, which
I say.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Throwing the bin.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Oh no else do you buy you every day ask
if you can buy a new roll X, a new car.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It was the thing the other day he wanted a new.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
One simulating machine for home, and I was like, when
does it end?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
This is? This is like having this is seriously, this
is like having a seven year old. You're you're literally
married to a seven year old.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
It is.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's not dissimilar. Is there? Just let me just broad
question for you, Tim? Is there anything long with a
set of Burgundy Swede loafers with tessels?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
My good?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Okay, so you lost me at Burgundy. You lost even
more with Swede, and then you went to tassels. Okay,
So which part of this do you want me to unpack? Her?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
No wonder Jason's calling you elderly. It really is an
elderly shoe. It's not. It's not. What about? What about?
What about it?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
What about a nice burgundy suade walker for you? Would
you like us to find a little bit of alcro on,
maybe a little bit of velcro?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Where were we, Katie? Were we in Singapore or Hong Kong?
With the melatonin?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Singapore and we would always stock up, and the same
in the US. Every time we went we would stock
up on malatonin.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
What were those red pills and Beverly Hills that we
bought for d in our friends?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Oh that was just advil?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Was okay?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
It was no Tayland Old Tayland O. That's right, incredible,
So you would have you some you SOMETI di suade
loafers and the red pearls.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That we hadn't be bl.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm kidding. An announcer walking down that where do we go?
War Greens? Was it Walgreens for the tyler?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
We went to get the title because he asked for it.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
We were bringing that back for I couldn't believe and
you would notice him drug mills exactly. I mean the
lord and do it now?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Would?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I mean? If we got to the border in Los Angeles, these.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
New Burgun dissuade loafers are too tight, my little toe hits.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Could I have a red pearl from Beverly Hills, peach?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't think I'd bring pills back now.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
And I'd to do that if we were at Lax.
If we were at Lax and they said, hey, what
are you doing here, we wouldn't go We're done to
Walgreens to get some more tail and old I opened.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Up my suitcase called malatonin, and.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I think that I think they'd be frisking is at
that particular point somehow. Yeah, are you better? Katie? By
the way, speaking of pills and potionis you're one hundred
percent this morning?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
I'm a hundred And I tell you the highlight of
my week was the Nico Portius interview. I can't get
over at twenty three, what an absolutely outstanding human.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
And his parents should take a bow because.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
He was so self aware, so wise, so passionate. So
I just I mean, we've got twenty three year olds
and I mean he was so articulous.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Even the best of our twenty three year olds is
probably several generations behind him, aren't they to be?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I don't want to say that on the radio, but
I was thinking, gosh, I don't think you put all
our twenty three olds together and they still wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Sound you said, for three of ours wouldn't even get
a Nico Portius, would they? But let's be honest, that's
on us, isn't it, Because we're too busy with the
Tyler Nol and the malatone and.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
With a Spigan dissuade tasseled Loafers.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Mike, the red Ones, radvill not Tyler and old. Don't
pick on Kti. I've seen how much your after shave
costs when we visit Australia. Might we pop into the
nearest pharmacy and by OTC vential and Inhaler's good on
your nil that's a good Australian trip. But your seven
year old most your.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
After shave, that is true.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Ryan Ryan, who's one of the newer members of the
z B team does nearly morning show, said to me yesterday,
I think it was he was objecting to my after shame.
Oh is that? Yeah? That's what I thought? Is that?

Speaker 4 (05:52):
No, I think it was just objecting, probably to the
amount you were wearing.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
To the common I think it was the name there.
What is it called prance Horse was called Stallion?

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Dude, Stallion.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Don't say it like that. It's not it's not marketed
as ud Stallion. But yeah, he was objected.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
How is it marketed?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You say it?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
How do you say it?

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Stallion?

Speaker 2 (06:18):
And you tend to bathe in it before you go
to work. It was the volume overwhelming at three in
the morning, flour.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I'll agree with the volume. I shouldn't do this on here, Katie.
But quick question, can Sammy come and stay with us
this weekend?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I know I heard his partner is stuck in Bali
with the volcano and he's sol appearenting the new puppy.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's a funniest story. She was down at Bingo.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
That's that's sounding like a sort of veiled no, thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well, I'm not against it. I'm not against it, but
it was it strange she won it at Bingo. She
she was down at Bingo and the prize was a
trip for one to two Bali, and so she took it.
And so then she now she's trapped.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh that's a real shame. Mind you. It could be worse,
you be trapped in Israel or Iran.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
So now there's a very good question. That was what
I wanted to raise earlier but didn't have time. Is
it the government's job to tell you not to go
to Israel or Iran? Or is it your job to
work it out for yourself. Because you're not a child.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
You should be able to work that out for yourself.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's your it's your job to Yeah, yeah, it's your
job to figure it out for yourself. But we have this,
we have this weird attitude in Uzalm. We sort of
we I think you touched on it earlier, you know,
the Zipsos poll, Mike. We sort of looked to the
government to fix things for us because we believe that
government is benign. And it's it's it's odd because yeah,
we've we've got this sort of miss we've got a

(07:37):
misunderstanding of our history in a way.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
The difficulty is with that term, as right as you
may be and you are, is that if you think that,
then you're entitled to because you've got as many votes
as anybody else. And and that is the problem.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I suspect, well, it is a problem because it's depressing
that here or Paul, you're talking about the epsoss one that.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Says to me, we have.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Very very short memories because how the majority in that
pole would have back a labor government to run the
economy is terrified.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
How do you explain how do you explain her doing
in that very pole, thing that in the freshwater pole,
the one from yesterday wherever that came from, that she's
the most popular political figure in this country, How do
you explain that the.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Followers are acolytes they're obsessed with you.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
But you've got to have a lot of followers, have
a lot of followers to get the number. It's not
on you know, you're you're particularly passionate. They do it
on numbers. You know, you get a plus A reminders
she's a.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Plus international rep that she's got going at the moment.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Or we like her, but we wouldn't vote for her necessarily.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I wonder if it's if it's sort of like the
vision thing, right, So we sort of we looked at
politicians in some sense, as you know, as the sacred
moves from the public square and it's filled with politics.
We looked at her political figures to being messiahs.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
She dressed itself as a messire.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
People want the messiah. We don't have one at the moment.
We've got someone.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
We all know she's a fraud. So do you think
they still see her as the messiah not fraud?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah, there's many people who don't see So.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
You think the fact that she's bugged off to Boston
to make money on a book is still that's cool
and she's still fantastic and everything she.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Did was they would be saying yes, queen to that
whole thing.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
They would think that's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well okay, but then it goes back to your point, Tim,
that's democracy, isn't it. So enough people think that you're
going to get more Where that came from.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I wanted to though, if New Zealanders are actually pretty
much politically we're a bit a political which is actually
a positive thing. So you remember when when we had
the what was it, the Minister of Justice being chased
by police dogs on a Sunday afternoon and Labour didn't
go down in the polls. That's because the election was
in two and a half weeks and people didn't care
until one and a half weeks out. So we're actually
politically disconnected as well.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, I gro with Glenn. We shouldn't be polling at
this point. It's a complete enough waste, Glen.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Let's just poll Glenn. I think, just what's going on?
Glenn Glinn's always right, Blints as per usual. Blent is right.
I've still got a mark from my blood test yesterday,
said a sign of a bed phlebotomist.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You were a little bit of a socker bubber about that.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I wasn't a sucker bubber about it. I did not
socker bubber about that at all. What came out you
said that was I died. I did not say it
that way.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I should have worn your special loafer.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Maybe maybe you should have.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Maybe you should have just just poured on a little
bit of oodsh what cologne you're gonna go with, London gentlemen,
or wait, no, no, no, hold on Blackbeard's Delight.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
She gets a special sex panther. You have a good weekend,
having a good long weekend. Tim Wilson.
