Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jim Wilson's with us and Kate Hawksby joins the gang
as well. Good morning to both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning to know that I have been listening to
the show this morning. I can report back on two things. One,
Chloe Swarbrick flying business classes everything you need to know
about the Green Party and sums them up to a tea,
doesn't it? It's just they should they're banners for election
in next year should be, you know, a vote for
us as a vote for hypocrisy, because they are just
(00:27):
just embarrassing. Second of all, my second observation of your
show this morning was it just Meil died Raises sound
a way bit downbeat, just a bit low keated.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yes, I think that's what I thought.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's interesting I should say that we've received quite a
bit of text information saying something similar. I had him
in a in a thoughtful mood because my relationship with
Raiser goes back a bit and he can be contemplative,
and so therefore I think I saw him as contemplative
what Matthew says, and it's funny you should raise this.
Katie said, that was a very weekend of view with
(00:59):
robertson Mike, So I'm a bit down too now because
I've received.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
A two blokes, you know, Michael, Michael and Razor talking
on the radio being contemplative and everyone bags here.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Do you know? You know what it is? And I'm
quite prepared to, at this late stage of my career
confess to this. There are certain people I will allow
some room for movement. So what I try and do
is be straight down the middle of the politics. And
I give some people a hard time, and then people
give me a hard time about giving them a hard
time and all that sort of stuff. But there are
certain people I just genuinely love, and I love Razor,
(01:37):
and he and my eyes can do no wrong. So
if he wants to come on and be a bit content,
contemplative with a with a with a half baked record
for the season, he can do that, and I'm comfortable
with you.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Sorry, guys, guys, is this a considered response or is
it a pause of that a tuboil.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
In that moment? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Point?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's longer than I remember, and you have you haven't
edited that to make it longer, have you know? That
was quite the That was quite the poort.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But I don't think you should necessarily just rake him
over the coals, like everybody likes to do with the
ABS and their coaches.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That's so I don't, well, what about what about a
bit of contemplation then a bit of raking, just to
you know, keep everyone happy.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, it's a thought. I'm gonna I'm gonna try next
time I have them on, I'm going to do a
little bit of that. But it does go to your point, Kadie,
which is a very good point. And this is where
I think you let yourself down this week with the
business of Ginny in the trip to Italy. You see,
I think you were outnumbered on that one. So your
argument was that I should have called Ginny out when
she said she was at.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
My argument was Ginny would have been the first had
it been the other way around, if MARKET said, oh,
I'm in Italy with my family, Ginny would have been
the first to say nice for some.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Guarantee quite good, and she is, can you do that
voice again? Just enjoy it?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And I thought that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But my argument, Tim, you you're the judge on this,
and you you've not only Cadi got feedback on this,
and there's a lot of people to agree with it.
My argument is, you're Codie. You're probably right she would
have said that, but that doesn't mean that I need
to lower myself to her level of the game to
participate as well.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
M M yeah, I'm going to go you know what,
I'm going to go with that. I think you lets
you bring the people into the arena. You're the ring master,
but you don't need to be one of the one
of the performers.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
You go.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I like that one about that.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think because it's your circus, so you are.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay. Next thing we need to address is this real?
Is this real? So Sam's holiday? This is for Christmas,
and he's I won't tell you where he's going because
then you'll just go crazy Katy and go nice for thumb,
isn't it?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Can you?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Can you both do that voice again at each other?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Sam? So, Sam's got listen to what he's booking last night.
He thinks he's got a deal. So what he was
looking for was a villa with a pool with a
private pool. BALI, oh, close but close but no close.
FII not close but no cigar, Give me another one.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Thailand. It's got to be an Asian country.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yep, it's got to be an Asian third world country,
because that's the only place that Sam goes Asian third
world countries.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Premium economy of China Malaysia.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, he's No, he's not. But more importantly than the
desination villa lla, But more importantly is the deal he's
got and is the deal too good to be true?
In Chitty Book It, Mike does semi go as an
unaccompanied minor. That's Mike. I thought it was a fabulous interview.
(05:03):
Authentic works for me. See, I can't I can take
that seriously, it's too late in the piece.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So the deal was this he's on Is it Vietnam? Yeah,
of course it's Vietnam or Cambodia or you know some
some that's you know. So the deal was this his
his villa and Paul with private chef and two waitresses.
Was the site claims six thousand dollars down to eight
(05:32):
ninety for three nights.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It counts.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It was never six k.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
That's that's what I said. I said it was never
six k, but eight ninety for three nights.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
It was six hundred, and they put it up to
eight ninety because they know.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Sounds like a Brisco's sale. It sounds like, yeah, manipulative marketing.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
See then he said, I said, well, what are you
going to do? And he goes, well, we're going to
book it and if it turns out to be a scam,
then we're going to look for other places. And I see,
you're in the middle of third world Asia at the
wrong time of year when it's twenty nine degrees and
one hundred percent humidity and it's raining frogs on you,
and you're going to have to try and find a
place because the whole thing's a scam.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's young people for you. It's what they do. Throw
caution to the ones.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It should our.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Five, the same sort of thing they do.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Here's the deal. What he needs to do is get
up to the dock hut at the top of the pinnacles.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
How much you're paying for the dock huts?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
That's thirty bucks a night. You get to sleep with
in a dorm room with thirty kids. They're up at
five thirty, get cracking.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Its lovely the seriously, thirty kids, is this a multi
shared family room? This was yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
So the people you don't know with people no, no, no,
that well for people you don't know. Every once curled
up in their sleeping packs. Who didn't anticipate being in
a room with thirty kids.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Oh and they're just.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And you can hear the sound of they're weeping in
the small land.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm not surprised, right, So the call is for you
because we're paying you for this and this, by the way,
and is the other thing they need to cover off
this morning? Quickly? Tim eight ninety to three nights with
Paul in Third World Asia? Does he book it or not?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
No, okay, no.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It sounds it sounds sounds it sounds too much, too
much of a discount. You don't go from six k
to eight ninety.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Dog, Katie, Does he book it or not?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I say yes?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Okay, Well these your dilemma. Do you want me to do?
You want me to make the casting boat? I mean,
do you want me to make the core? Well, what
I have happened to know is that he's already booked it,
so it's too late. So he'll be fine, Yes, he'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hey, in a little bit of news you can use.
I think we should do. I was going to say
the viewers, the listeners are service in terms of what
they could view this weekend because we have.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I just have you canceled Prime already?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, because I've just literally tooked my parents into getting
Amazon Prime. So what I would say is, if you
don't have Amazon, get it and binge watch Mobland, which
is my show of the year, best show ever. Go
actually Mobland with Keith Brosnan and Helen Marrin. And the
second show you can binge is The Girl Friend Yes
with Robin Wright, which is brilliant, which we've just finished.
And then cancel your Amazon Prime so you know you
(08:15):
got fantastic shows. Get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, cool? Bench think are because I'm serious about this.
I'm I'm over being abused as a consumer by giving
people money and then just just jamming them with ads
and stuff like that. I'm not into it. I'm over it,
and I want to make a principled stand.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, are you going to cancel all of us streaming
because Amazon has started putting ads on and you now
have to pay to upgrade with to have them without?
But so is everybody else doing the same thing. They're
all going to do it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of good stuff on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
You've got the ads anyway, and it's free, and you're
not being scaled by the subscription model.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I tend to when I'm on the bike, I watch
more YouTube than anything else these days, and I die.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
You watch YouTube?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Maybe it's your age you do watch here?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I think it's your age. Now, quick, quick, Hey what
what bike?
Speaker 4 (09:04):
What biking you on?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You're on the exercycle.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's it's like a it's a it's a knife fit.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I'm gonna I think I'm going to get one of those.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You should get one of those. You'll never look back
to him. Cycling avoids devoids dementia. It's a big study
last week, apart from anything else. Now, Katie, are you
aware how do we pay you? Tim? Timmy, you were
a contract or an employee with us? Do you know?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I see I seend you an invoice?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Okay, so you're a contact. This does use This doesn't
count for you. So, Katie, you're you're an employee with
this company? Did you realize that I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I don't know what I am.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Okay, Well, you're an employee. I'm here, I'm playing. It's
I'm Mike from HR so here I am so.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
You would never be an h.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're an employee you're an employee for this company, right,
so you're employed by enz in me? Do you know
that as a person who works? And it's it's a
rough calculation, but I think it's about thirteen minutes a week?
So person firston who works the thirteen minutes a week?
Do you know that you're entitled to ten days sick
(10:11):
leave a year?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh fantastic? And do you know I'm not going to
take that because I'm a good person.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
No, but you're entitled to it. So you could take
the next ten fridays, in other words, two and a
half months sick leave and not turn up on this
program and for the entire rest of the year, and
you're more than entitled. How mad is that? As a rule?
It's crazy, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
As the tax season London taking all the asylum seekers
to their medical appointments.

so you're employed by enz in me? Do you know
that as a person who works? And it's it's a
rough calculation, but I think it's about thirteen minutes a week?
So person firston who works the thirteen minutes a week?

(10:11):
leave a year?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh fantastic? And do you know I'm not going to
take that because I'm a good person.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
No, but you're entitled to it. So you could take
the next ten fridays, in other words, two and a
half months sick leave and not turn up on this
program and for the entire rest of the year, and
you're more than entitled. How mad is that? As a rule?
It's crazy, isn't that?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
