Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Wilson's whether it's Timothy good.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Morning, good morning, and I agree. I'm loving this song.
It says it's got a country feel.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, Catherine, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
You're an expert in the dying field.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
It's very good. It's about what's the dying field?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The media?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Oh, the media generally, yeh know. Well, some bits are
some bits aren't. But it's a nice it's nice of
you to say. Speaking actually, speaking of the field, I
learned something this week about a colleague of mine, Jason
Pine You know Jason Pine, Yes Piney, Yes, Piney.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
So he turns up.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
I've just watched him do a pre record and he's
he turned up the other morning at about five o'clock
and he was doing some other pre record. So what
I know about his show is he does a tremendous
amount of pre records for a start. But I don't
know whether to approach him because he was sitting there
for a sustained period of time, and of course I
left at six to go into the studio and do

(01:02):
the show, and then I came out at seven and
he was still there prepping for that, and he was
still there at nine, so he was prepping for this
interview for four hours, and he hadn't done the.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Interview, but he might have been doing other work.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
It didn't appear, so it appeared that he's just a
slow prepper. And so I didn't know what to do
about that, and whether I'm so when I admire him
for coming in and actually putting some energy in because
so many people in this industry just wing it. So
good on him for being diligent. But there's diligence and
sort of like you don't know what you're doing this
where I.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Wouldn't cast dispersions on him at all, because you should
absolutely endorse anyone that's prepared to come in and do
the work and do the prep, because that is again
a thing that we see dying in this industry. Everybody
just shows up a minute before they're due to hand
in it or do anything with no prep. So I
would I would commend him for that.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, yeah, I would have thought.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I would have thought you would have recognized him as
a as a brother in arms in that respect. Traveler
is more than you.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
You're in there at three am.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
No, But this is my point, My point being is
there's there's prep and the efficiency of movement, and so
you want to you want to be as industrious as
you possibly can to get as much done. That's my
only point.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Next question other things.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Okay, well let's let's give him the benefit of that.
Tell you with all the point collect this weekend show
is going to be stunning. I mean twelve twelve to three.
I mean I think both, he's a hot performer.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
He's award winning, So there's something in it, doesn't it.
I mean if he if he was a loser, who
wasn't getting Yeah, he's award winning, ward winning.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
I just thought he got nominated. I was going to look,
I've undersold him again, haven't I got not in through
the time.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Also, and it's a big it's a big weekend for sport.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know me.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I love my sport. And boy, oh boy, you'll blacks,
you'll blacks and the fortress with the springs with.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
They don't call them the springs.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Ten.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
No quick question for you, Kadie, is has Kate Princess
got hair extensions?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh? I wondered extly if it was a full blown wig.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I told you one of the photos.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
I knew it as soon as I saw that photo
this morning. I thought hair extensions all day long. She
looks magnificent.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Hair extensions and wigs are two different things, you realize.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I do know, but I don't. I don't think there's
a wig there at all. But I think there are
hair extensions for people. People are going to go look
at the photos. So she's back on royal duties today.
She's gone slightly blonde. It looks magnificent, but there's a whole.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Lot of hair.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
So much here, arguably bordering on too much here is
that if it was such a tiny, tiny frame, is.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
It a crip or a curl? She's running.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
No, it's just a soft curl, not a crump.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Should should we bring Greg? Shall we bring Greg and
the expert here? Well?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah, no Greg, Greg Gregg's liberally he is not out
of bed until about nine. Having said that, would it
be Glenn, who knows a lot about hair, he says
it's a dison air rap. Do you think it's a
Dison air rap?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh? Could be.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
They give you a lot of volume. Just ask Nikola Willis.
I'm sure she's doing the air wrap at times too.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Nikola Willis next question, what's an air app? What the
thing is? And don't ask what an air rapp is?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Do you not know what is it? Do you not
know what the coander effect.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Is to as it? I mean, is it a blow dryer?
Is that? What it is?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Something you put on the end of vacuum cleaner?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Vacuum cleaner? Is that?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Next?

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Next question is Nikola willis the only female MP who
wears false e lashes?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Does she wear falselishes?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
No question?

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Absolutely, no question, and not that that's not an aspoose
the same way I wasn't casting the spoosons on Jason's prep,
but she wears Look at her next time.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
She puts a lot of energy into that matter what
don't make it? No, don't genderize this.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's not a female politicians.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's not sex.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
I was congratulating on it because she, like Jason, puts
energy and effort into something and in this case it's
her look and.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Good on doing it.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
And there we are. We've okay, we've actually done so,
We've turned them around on Pioneer, We've actually done the
U tune. We've worked it. I love I love the positivity.
This is great.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm asking you losing it. That's news.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Hey, Can I just I just got a little bone
to pick with you. I would not have given that.
Matthew Houghton, Peace are sceric of airtime is the biggest
piece of crap I've ever seen in the paper in
a long time. And I'm sure that's why they give
them a column. It's just clickbait. They want to rage
bait you. They want you to get annoyed because there's
nothing in that. There's no truth, speculative bs.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But but also it's it's like, where's the credibility based
on previous predictions in the sense that this is this
and I think you did note that is that there's
a bit of prior form here and there.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Is I shouldn't. My reason, in my defense.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You didn't prepare enough. You see, you've got to talk
to Piney and figure out your preparation.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Get it right.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Spend four hours on a on A I got some
editorial pe I got some texts, and I thought, okay,
I'll respond to the audience.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
But it's a good point Piney. By the way, an update.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
The interview was at six o'clock, so he started prep
at five, so he had one hour prep for the interview.
Glean City was in the studio editing. Now that would
be my advice, don't do an interview. You have to
edit clean, quick, sharp to the point, don't don't wax
lyrical top and tail a top and you had the
top and tail. That's that's that's that's the that's the
old track Katie's ikea, were you use it? As surprised

(06:35):
as I was at Luxeon's large collection of IQ, I.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Was surprised that he said he has dragged a cubby
all over the world in as many various houses and
places that he's lipped. I would have thought that was
sort of a.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Can I ask a question? What's lots of cubby?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
A cubby holder? It's like a cubby to hold stuff,
you know, it's.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Like a description cubby.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
And I'm not allowed to ask what's that thing that
you know I was doing this year?

Speaker 4 (07:02):
The reason I by the way, Glenn tells me that
Sir James's as and Dyson has literally just launched the
new air wrap in Berlin this morning, and so I
suspect that Kate is an ambassador for them, and she'll
put it up on Instagram later on today with some likes.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
It'll be on everybody's Christmas wish list this year.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
How much is an air rapkating.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
They're close to one thousand dollars if.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
We established what they are there is. It's a plastic
stick with air, a plastic stick with air.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
That comes with multiple different heads and things. You can
curl with it, you can brush dry with it. Look,
I'm not sponsored by Dyson, so I'm not going to
say anything.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
More about it.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Make me their ambassador.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Could might be an ambassador. He could he could deal
with a bit of curling and for a.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Hair rap I don't know about that.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
You need more hair.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
You'll have to talk to I have to talk to
Greg about that. Now.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Have you been participating in the snake promotion at all?
Tim at the supermarket?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, I haven't. Okay, what do you want to We're
just I'm just trying. I'm just trying to emerge from
a snow drift of Disney discs, the worst thing ever. Honestly, people,
people will are you familiar with the Disney disc thing?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Are you still using? You mean discs? As and CDs
are collecting.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
There's a mike, there's a thing called a supermarket that.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Where are getting snake from?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's New World?

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Oh, for god's sake, multiple promotions. I mean talk about
to keep your messages nice and clear. Supermarket land, so
you get Disney discs and how many of those are
you going?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
But people? The thing is people say they're useless. They
the houses. There's a toundred of Disney disc wrappers all
through the house and constantly picking them up. What do
you do when people see us at the supermarket, they go, oh,
look there's a nice family. I'll give them my Disney discs. Please,
no more Disney.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Di What do you do with them?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
They're rubbish? Well, you just you your leath them under couches,
you put them in the way of people. You just
annoy your parents with them. That's what they're there for.
There apparently collectible.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Nothing's collectible. What is?

Speaker 2 (09:15):
What did the lumps of plastic?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
What did Josh do? Caddie?

Speaker 4 (09:18):
What did Josh collect? The Weebel's wobble? But mighty beans?
Mighty beans. He was into collecting everything but mighty beans.
The nearest we got to collectibles, I thought that were
genuine collectibles were mighty beans.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
But we've still got the mighty beans.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
I'm keeping them for the grandchildren because mighty beans were
actually cool.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Keeping them. Never say that out. I'm keeping them for.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Me to throw them out, so I can't.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
No pressure, Come on, kids, give me grand cats.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
The reason, the reason I just ask about the Ikea
and the surprise. I thought Ikea was correct me if
I'm wrong. I thought I Kia was a stage of
life whereby you're setting up your flat in London and
you bring home your allen Keys and your battle with
your you know, to make a stool or a table
or a sideboard or whatever it is, and you then
you move on.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Is that not the case?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, that's Ika and also meat balls, Yeah, I know.
Also Ikea, I Kia. Anyone planning, anyone planning to get married,
put together an Kia flat pack together beforehand so you
can figure out each other.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
A good tests.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's it's the litmus test. If you can't put an
Ikea flapback together, you need to go to counseling.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I think we've got some good advice there. We've sorted
out Jason's career, We've done the flat pack and the
allen Key marriage test, We've done supermarket promotions. Just all
in all, I think this has been a pretty reductive session.
Well done you two.
