Speaker 2 (00:02):
You both, goodness the morning, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
You've been to the card Droner, Tim.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now I haven't been to the card drowner, but it
sounds like you want to buy a hotel from what
I'm hearing, Kate, are you into that?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Welcome to my life, Welcome to mine.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Have you been to the card droner, Katie?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
No, I have not. I don't think I have.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well you could, Katie, you could own it. You just
play along with Mike. He's in What are you? What
are you? What are you bidding you? Six seven?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I think he's a bit out on his price by
the sounds.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
No, that's only according to Jim Picky. I mean twenty
million all days? Is Ricky twenty million? So if Ricky's
in at twenty you know? I mean, come on, is
Ricky an idiot?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Where is Ricky million?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Or does Ricky know his hotels?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
No? Thanks? I love the clearing of the throat.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
That the numbers.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I'm done.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
You gotta do the numbers. How many people are they
got to stay? So they got sventeen rooms? What are
you running the room out at? Then you've got how
many beers you're selling a day and how often? And
is it worth having to be a garden in the
middle of winter? I mean, how many beers you're selling
to be a garden in the middle of winter.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I just make a really obvious point here, And we
did this when you tried to buy the Meticana pub.
Pointers People who own pubs and hotels need to be hospitable.
They need to be welcoming and enjoy people. And we
decided very early on. But if the owner generally is
terrified of people and doesn't like to be seen in public,
that's not going to work.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I could, I reckon, I could be one of those
one of those guys to.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Employ the whole family and have the family fronting it
for him, all the kids, everybody behind the bar, have
me out the front, and he would just be at
the top, just probably counting up the money and not
talking to anyone and sacking staff who came in with
you know, like maybe a nose piercing or something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
He'd let them go.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I reckon all I want to be. I want to
be the guy to go, oh, you know, old hostco.
You know, once you get to know him, he's not
that bad. That's the sort of thing you're aiming for,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Is that what you're aiming for.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
That's what I'm aiming for.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I think that that's true. That's true.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong with that. No, it's just it's
just when he said the reno was done in two
thousand and one, that immediately rang alarm bells for me,
because that's that's twenty three, twenty four years ago. Oh yeah,
and that's got, that's got. What about the wiring, Ah, yeah,
you could probably do the wiring. But I'll tell you what,
if you're going to do the wiring, you may as
well do the gas and the roof and the spouting
and probably do the kitchen at the same time. So
(02:34):
it's good. I loved it.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I loved it when he said when he said what's
it been like, and he said, it's to find my life?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, that was that. That was a politician's answer, is
to find my life. I mean, he's probably running.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
For the whole.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I thought that. I thought he was. I thought he
was conveying something. You, me and Ricky are going to
couple together. We'll see it.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
The auction, it says Hosking Towers basil faulty good very
bas or faulty.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
It's so short. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We were in a shop speaking of Mike, just being
one of those people that people think is so easy
to get to know and love. We're in a shop
the other day and there's a very earnest, well meaning,
well dressed, lovely man who was selling Mike something said
how would you like to pay? And Mike looks some
dead in the eye and goes crypto and then it's
just silence, and I have to fell that awkward.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He's so funny. He always makes the jokes. You like
the jokes, don't you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I'm just staring at us, and.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I'm like, I thought it was fine.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And also I thought he was young enough to go, hh,
yeah you're cool bro, something like that, but he didn't. Anyway, Now,
don't try.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And be young. It's not a business model or the
future for you, mate, No.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's not. Do you have you heard of high Rocks?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
High Rocks?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Is this the thing where you do all those different
fitness events?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well done, congratulations, there's a big one on this weekend
in Sydney. It's over three days. I'll run you through
what they actually do but this term you'll be interested
in this. Katie's turned into an elite athlete, if not
a professional athlete and so not.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
II Rocks are serious people train that that's a serious affair.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's the most amazing thing. I'll come back after the
break and tell you exactly what they do do it's
going off And this is the thing the article I
read is about. Do you do it basically to get
fit will be healthy, or do you do it so
you can reach your limits basically kill yourself in the process.
But what I want to know from you, Katie after
your week's worth of exercise and specialist coaching in the
(04:44):
years pickle or paddle?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
What do you want me to say that now or
after the break? I'm not sure what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
No, no, I'm running the show. I'll tell you when we're
going to the break. You'ret we were going to the break?
Go to the breakow because that just waste a lot
of time. More shortly, come on, Crypto, that's just funny.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You can't teat yourself on the show, all right.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
It's the dead pan dry delivery. You put the kids,
partners and boyfriends and stuff, and it's really embarrassing. It's
the dead pan dry delivery where they have to second
get themselves and go is he serious?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Favorite? My favorite? What's that is when when the boyfriend
comes around, I look at him and I go, oh,
you're still together? Then that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We had.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
By the way, we have the current a lovelier person,
you know, he's the old JJ, he's delightful. We have
the current High Rocks female world champ from New Zealand.
So there you go. So anyway, Katie, pickle or peddle.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Well, here's the thing, I've only played pickle. I haven't
played peddle yet.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
What about squash? Wait?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Wait, wait, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Isn't a pickle something
you eat?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No it is. Do you not know about pickle?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Pickleballs huge?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So paddle Just to explain super simply, paddle is like
basically squash, except outdoors on a chase court with walls
around itself. Yes, exact patter tennis Okay, yep, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
The old money we call it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
We call it paddleton. And pickle is a small court,
small court with little bats, big size sort of table
tennis bats where you hit a ball with holes in it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Yeah, funny.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Pickle is more fun.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Squash is by father superior game, and as it turns out,
I'm quite good at it.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Sure squash. Squash is a great gatus.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It's really intense workout, Like you finish and you feel
like absolutely used every muscle in your body and you're exhausted,
and so that's cool, but it's really intense. Pickle is
just so much fun. It's like running around. It's really social,
usually played in doubles. I did some coaching, just one
on one with my son, and I loved it, and
so now I want to start a pickleball league. My
son said, I might be running before I walk, but
(06:56):
I'm just it's such a cool social game.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I reckon. I reckon it's an industry and it's taking
off because America's got fascinated with paddle and they've got
leagues and television deals. Pickle, I think is more a
recreational pursuit, and so I don't think it has necessarily
the same sort of business upside and television appeal. But
it looks like a lot of fun high rocks. You're
ready for this, tim as a person who does are
(07:20):
you still doing your push ups?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
By the way, Well, what one handed break.

I'm crippled. I'm crippled. But we took the boys up
one tree hill. I went half the way up.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
State with otto boys hill.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You didn't even get this is up the side. This
is up the side of it. Not the sort of
pedestrians you know, climbing over.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Even walking up hill.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Rachel took the boys. Hey, I went off, acc shut up, Okay,
all right. Rachel took the boys up to the top
at night. So it's like nine o'clock at night, and
with with with the mate William, who is having a sleepover,
and the boys rolled down the side of one tree
hill and there could not be in the pitch black,
(09:20):
getting muddy, dirty, shrieking with laughter. One of the actually
William said, this is what it feels like to be
a kid. And that's what it's all about it. You
can keep your high rocks. We'll take high rolls down
the hill. There's nothing wrong with that, all down the health.
Can I just apologize to end the segment. What I did, unfortunately,
Cadie is I failed to take your advice. What I
just read out on there was a list, the high
(09:42):
Rocks list, and earlier on she advised me, Tim, if
you missed that, no more top ten lists on this
program because so many.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, it's but it's boring. Not so many and not
not a commentary on each one. Seven. Well, what I
think of seven is interesting. It's like not.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Really, do you any other issues with just any problems
you'd like to fix, just while we're around about the.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Point award winning and so if it's not broke.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah, sen the senators in US have their own pickleball league. Cuddie,
Oh cool. Let me just paint you the picture. So
the pickleball court on the internal part, you know, the
part nearest the net where the line is, so the
first line back from the net. Yeah, they've got stars
for the Senate and then the rest of the court's plane.
But you they're playing doubles and they look like they're
(10:32):
having a good time.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
They're actually putting a lot of pickleball courts into rest
homes because there are it's a really really good longevity
marker and mortality or risk mortality. All the research supports
that racket sports in general, but it's so good for people.
One it's social, Two it's not that taxing, and three
it's just a really good little run around.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So what they should also do in rest homes is
see if they want to roll down the hill?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, do you high role? That's a longevity marker and
if you don't make it else. For more from the
