Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tom and Katie were this morning. You two, they're actually cool.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
They're actually cool though too, and they put out some
really good music.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Okay, there you're on Glenn's side.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I thought I didn't know. Mike.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
I don't know if you're talking about you and Katie
or the swell season. They were together, they broke up
during the during the holidays, they got back together.

Speaker 5 (00:19):
It's just just clarify things for me.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
No, we've never been more in live short just a
short breakup. Do you want me to read you the text?
So I've seen it this morning at two thirty.

Speaker 6 (00:28):
They please don't.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh my god, I get so anxious when you start
raising all this personal stuff.

Speaker 6 (00:34):
You're talking about Ruby, you're talking about the kids.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
You've got to stop it. How many times have I
told you do not hear the family laundry on your show?

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Katie, Katie, the I owner here as you're literally telling
him in front in front of hundreds of thousands.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Of listeners every day, welcome to my fifteen every day. Now,
do you want to hear the best story ever on
this program is a personal one?

Speaker 6 (01:00):
Because no?

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
So Tim does he wins?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
So Jason the Boss is away today, right?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Oh builds up.

Speaker 6 (01:13):
The story as well.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes he was, Yes he was so anyway, was he
one of these losers who take holidays? If I didn't
have a really good story, if I didn't have a
really good story, I would have gone down that track
with you, Tim, because I think he's a bit weak.
But here's the thing. This morning, I stopped by the
water station on my way into the studio and I

(01:38):
filled my thermos flask. My thermis flask I still use
because that's what Jason brought me when the hot tap broke,
and that was that. That shows you how what a
cool guy Jason is. So I still use the thermos
flask to this day for my hot water and lemon.
Today I placed my cup down while I filled up
my thermos flask, but I didn't take it with me
into the studio. By the time I sat down and
get set to go for the start of the show,

(01:59):
I realized my cups missing because of another day in
another complaint, which the complaint being No, wasn't the hot
tap that was broken, it's just the places are dump
and nobody ever cleans it up. They changed the cleaning
schedule and the building. Jason also did that so Jason
changed the cleaning schedule in the building and everything must
be tidied up by the professional cleaners by the time
Mike Hoskin goes to air. So the good lady had

(02:22):
come in and she had tidied up my cup, thrown
out my lemons, no, exactly, thrown out my lemons, and
the cup was missing, and I said, Sammy, Sammy, hunt
for that cup. He went out to the kitchen, the
main kitchen, and he found it there. Of course that's
where the nice cleaning lady had put it.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
So all young future broadcasts out there know that if
you're planning on being a producer of a very successful
one skill that you need is the ability to track
down a tiny little.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Teacup, tiny little teacup, and he brought it back from
my first question was my first question. My first question was, yeah,
is the lemon still in it? And Sami went no,
because of course the late the cleaning lady had put
it in the dishwasher and it was gone.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
So we picked those lemons, I slice them and I
bag them for you. They go on the fridge and
then you take them and there's a lot of ear
miles those lemons have endured before they get.

Speaker 8 (03:20):
In there precise a lot of eff Okay, okay, I
can we can we just push paws on this.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
This sounds like my two and a half year old.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
I lost my cup and I don't know how many
lemons in it. It's not fair. You are the king
of tough. Holidays are for losers, hosking. What you'll do
is you'll drink your your warm flask of whatever the
heck it is out of your own hands, and that's
a cup of hard ened up go for it.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Meantime, back to Jason. Do you know what Jason was.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
He didn't come in with lemons.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
He didn't come in with lemons. He did the next
best thing. He ordered twenty seven dollars worth of lemons,
oh my goodness, and he was having them delivered to
the station now they're about to arrive at eight or ninety.
Ordered them seven o three for reasons best known to themselves.
And this is an insight into why technology doesn't work.
The people who are doing it, who are one of
the supermarkets, had them brought in from Mount Wellington, which

(04:09):
is about the stupidest place you can bring in anything.
From Mount Wellington to Central Auckland in peak our traffic.
Hence they've taken well in excess of an hour to
get here. But they're about to get here. So Jason
has ordered me lemons twenty seven dollars worth.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
It's a lot of les.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Can you get Nick Mowbray to chop of them in?
They could have been in there sooner.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
See, that's why you Tim are in the private sector.
Jason still stuck here at good old edends in me.
He's not a thinker? But is he the nicest guy
in the world or.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
What he is?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Molly coddling you in a way that probably needs to
be tied down.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But yeah, a monster, he says, Yeah, yeah, you know
what feedbacks a gift?

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Guess what?

Speaker 4 (04:49):
You don't have any lemons? Just what else you got?
Are the limes available? Can you pause some? Can you
break someone's biro and drop a bit of ink in there?

Speaker 6 (04:59):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Seven dollars of lemons is probably one lemon? That's actually
John a very good point, quick tim How many lemons
do you get for twenty seven dollars?

Speaker 9 (05:10):
Well the season so there should buy Sorry Nicolas, I
didn't ask you how they're made and the global prices
I just said, how many lemons are you getting right here,
right now?

Speaker 1 (05:20):

Speaker 3 (05:22):

Speaker 5 (05:31):
They're all different shapes, okay?

Will there be two? Or twenty seventeen or twenty three?
Twenty three lemons for twenty seven dollars? Okay, Cadie, how
many lemons?

Speaker 6 (05:47):
I reckon? They could be ten or fifteen?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Ten or fifteen, which is actually two numbers. But we'll
play the game with you.

Speaker 3 (05:53):

Speaker 1 (05:53):

Speaker 6 (07:17):
He's never either.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I would never clue where a chit chat I could
have a clue where a chit chat is, but it
sounded better than Tim. I know what at Tim Tamm is.
Right here they go. The lemons have arrived. I didn't
tell you. I didn't tell you what the prize was.

Speaker 6 (07:30):

them around the office. Twenty two lemons? Yeah, go on,

it's twenty two lemons and Unfortunately, you're a loser.

Speaker 8 (07:44):

Speaker 3 (07:45):

Speaker 1 (08:18):

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Why do they lie and say that they'll be there
in like five minutes?

Speaker 6 (08:23):
They never are? They never never never are.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That that's true.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
How many lemons?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, before I tell you how many lemons?

Speaker 6 (08:31):
Oh, for goodness, no, no.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
No no, he Jason said, twenty seven dollars worth of lemons,
which is crap. Do you know do you know what
we actually paid for these lemons? And I'll tell you
how many of there are we paid for?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
He won't have spent twenty seven dollars because he's not
a big spinder like that, and he won't make money.
Certainly he's a manager, so he's very careful with money.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
So I was spent seven he.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Spent seventy of this. Know what this does is settles
once and for all the food price index debate in
this country. At the moment, New Zealand stopped whining because
we've spent this morning five dollars and forty eight cents
yeap for lemons, and for that we have do it. Unfortunately, Tim,

(09:13):
you were wrong, Katie, I let you.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
You said it was twenty seven bucks. I said twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
The questions there's fraud?

Speaker 5 (09:22):
Okay, well how many lemons?

Speaker 1 (09:24):

Speaker 3 (09:29):
That's his torture?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
Can I tell you what joke we spent?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
No, he doesn't have a joke. Five dollars forty eight,
five dollars forty eight on lemons and the total bill
was twenty seven dollars twenty that I hate Uber? Do

year old wolfies joke? This week?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
The answer? Tim?

Speaker 5 (09:54):
All right, all right, all right, and congratulate you have
a ratty holiday.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
By Yes, I did congratulations, Cadie. We got fifteen lemons. Oh,
fifteen good bye, Yeah, fifteen lemons for five dollars. Yeah,
but that's for twenty sealed bucks because you've gone and
if you've gone into where the hell did we buy
them from? I can't even see Fresh Choice. We've bet

(10:19):
them from Fresh Choice, not to who. So they've come
eight hundred miles. I mean, the carbon miles are ridiculous,
but we could have got fifteen lemons for five bucks.

Speaker 7 (10:26):
That's nice looking lemons. They are a bit on the
small side.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
They're small, lit juicy Glynn, but like me, I mean.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Your teacup is tiny, so that's appropriate.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
This has been a bus this morning. I'm here.

Speaker 1 (10:42):

take too long to get to you because I'm sending
it by you.
