Kate Hawksby's Weather Us along with Tim Wilson. Good morning

faith in the audience because sometimes you read out texts.

Drop show, so reassuring that you've got such cold listeners.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, I reckon, you need to get, you need to get.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I put a backing track behind that, now that would
be up.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
That's exactly the Mike Hosking Happy Days album featuring featuring Kurra.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Eight tracks on the show.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Actually, she could have read your slot on the track
just life from the let's call it a slot Life
from the Bay with Kurra. I think that's a little
bit of nice white boarding. Do you know what I've
got in front of me? Tim?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What do you got?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well, I've got hang on, I'll see who wrote the
letter from jin Jin wrote to me this week, and
she included in the envelope, I've got a twenty dollars
or is it twenty I've just gotenty poppy pounds here
for you from Popeyes. I've got another voucher of twenty
poppy pounds. I've got three twenty poppy pound vouchers. I've
(01:11):
got a voucher for a chicken sandwich, tiny buffalo chicken.
I've got several of those. And I've got a chicken
sandwich smoky barbecue chicken voucher several of those as well.
So you're going along. No, I was going to offer
them to you, Tim as a winner on the my
Casking Breakfast, if you were as good as.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well. This is this is amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I always thought I always thought they just had drop
picks doing segments of this show, but actually this is
just this has made my day fantastic.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And would you like to thank the sponsor?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Oh, I'd love to think who is the person that
sent that in again?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And Popeye's chicken? Yeah, that's that's not as good as
court Jan.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I want to think, Jens awesome And is this actually
the my Casking So I cannot be?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Is this actually the guy?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It is me too?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And you're a winner congratulations.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Ah ah. I just got to go and put my
head in a bucket of cold water.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Cut that up into a promo. We're good to go, Katie.
On on a scale of one to ten, ten as
healthy as I am, what number would you give Dolly's
video yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh yeah, it's a good question. I see.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I I'm glad she's, as she said, not dead. But
I'm really glad she's not dead. But I wasn't one
hundred percent convinced she looked that Well, it's often with
older people. It's the voice, you know, the thinness of
the voice just sounded a little bit not one hundred
percent there, and just underneath all of that makeup and
fabulousness that is Dolly.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I just thought she looked a little one.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Does she do you reckon she's on the golps? No,
she's always been that same, No, I don't think so.
She looked, what's what's the GLP? No, you're not a winner.
It's not a contest term. It's not ringing, it's not
eight hundred ring and asked dumb question time. She looked
to me, to my eye, scaltal And she's never looked skeletal.
She's always been very small and petite, but she looked
(03:06):
particularly thin and she and you just think about having
dealt with her over the years a number of times.
The production behind her is has to be seen to
be believed, and the number of people who make her
look the way she looks is incredible, and if you
look at the video, she doesn't even look that good
after all of that, which I would have thought was
(03:28):
was not a not a good sign.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You would hope, you would hope when someone, when someone
gets to that point that you've got this huge production team,
that someone would be able to usher her aside and say,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I was thinking, maybe maybe we don't need to do
this on this particular day. By the way, what was
the art we bought? Katie? Who was the artist of
the big picture?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Glass?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
And no, that was the little picture?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Oh sorry, the big picture.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
By the way, when you were saying it's charcoal, pestel
and graphite.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I knew it was more than peacel, charcoal, pest all
in graphite. When you love your portrait done.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
On that, it's were you asking the artists of the
oven we bought? I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
You don't even know who we want.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I can't remember the name Shocking. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Why, Well, it's just going to It's just interested because
people are interested, that's all. But it seems an odd
thing to do that you would go out and buy
a picture of a person you don't even know who
it is.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, but it's not a picture. It's just a it's.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
How do you describe it? See how you describe that?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And evocation it's textural. It's a textural piece. It's not
a picture. Say it's more sculptural.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
What was the word you use? Evocation? Yes, what's that?
Speaker 4 (04:38):
So it's evoking something you know it's not. It's an
excellent devocation. But it's also ceramic and clay. No, okay,
do we have any for the detail, Cadie?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
No, but I do have a question for your audience,
now that I know that they're so cool and informed
and onto it. I'm pickling onions for the first time,
red onions, and I just want to know I've done
it with the apple side of going again with the mother.
Do you keep them on the bench or do you
put them in the fridge? If somebody can text you
the answer to.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That, Oh, why don't we do a question, Mike, what
do you think bench or fridge? Oh, there's no question.
You keep them in the fridge. Keep everything in the fridge. No, no, no,
no no. But do you put them on the bench
in between or do you put them straight in the fridge?
Is that what you're asking?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Cake? That's what I'm asking in order to pick them.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So I've just chopped up the onions and put in
the vinegar, and I put the little on the jart.
Do I now leave that on the bench? And for
how long or do I need to put it in
the fridge?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Good question? I think I understand it. When I last
talked to Allison holstst the go to, the go to
was leave it there for half an hour at room
temperature and then carry on whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You literally just made that up.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of course it sounded. It sounds sounded plausible, didn't it.
Could you pass your driver's license and yet to sit
your test today too? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I reckon, I I reckon. I want how much I
was interested in that?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
How much was the bribe?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
What do we That's when I tried to raise in
a joking fashion, but for fear of getting myself in trouble,
because no one's got a sense of humor anymore. But
it would depend on what it was. If it was
five hundred, it's a scandal. If it was twenty five,
you'd go, what a dick, wouldn't you? One or the other?
You know what I mean? It's just like what you know?
So I don't know. I don't know what the bribe was,
(06:25):
and I don't even know that they're talking about it
because it's so damn embarrassing. But nevertheless, could you pass? Cady?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Absolutely not?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
And I'm no greater reminder of that that when you're
teaching your children to drive and driving with teenagers who
are new limited with licenses. Oh my gosh, Judge, judge, judgy,
they do not shut up about all the rules and everything.
Oh really, yeah, they are so all over it and
there's so many new rules. I feel like, So no,
I definitely don't think I would pass.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Now see of us three, Kady Katie would might pass.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
He's actually a really good driver, albeit a little bit
aggressive with Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I said, I reset my test. Don't you were you
at seven sharp when I did that? Tim?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
I said, we did a Yeah, we did a story
with I think I may have been Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, I failed. So we went out. But I failed
because the guy I didn't slip in enough money obviously
because he pinged me. Now get this, I'm in a
dead end street. I pulled over in a dead end
street and I parked. So he says, Paul over, do
you know do your your back in parking. Do that
find no problem at all? Then he goes, now, turn
around and we'll head back out. So in turning around,
(07:35):
in other words, doing a U tun, but the street
was so small I needed to do a three pointer.
He pinged me for not indicating as I left the park,
and then pinged me again for not indicating as I
once I'd pulled back from my three point to indicating
to move forward again. I said, mate, that's not all.
We're in a dead end street. There is no traffic.
This is bollod there's no one else around. Yeah, I got,
(07:56):
I got.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
If no one can see the indicators, the indicator indicator
agree more.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And so they had to edit my anger out of
the story in the end, so that never actually made
it to wear. But oddly enough, your contract was not
renewed the radio permanently and no longer on seven sharp Now,
Katie T. Swiss As a review of the album, your
thoughts please.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Well, my favorite of Tea Swiss's albums is Folklore, and
that'll be the benchmark for me. But so it wasn't.
But I'm I'm I'm sort of on her bandwagon. If
she it's all time and place This is a time
of life for her, and I get it. I actually
quite liked more of the songs than I thought I would.
I liked Fate of Ophelia Opolite, eldest Daughter, Friendship Ruined
or Ruined the Friendship. That's a good song, I think, actually,
(08:41):
I think that's your favorite on the album, that song,
Take it or leave it. Over the weekend when I
was playing NonStop, and then as usual, you went on
here Monday and waxed eloquently about it Swift, and I thought,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's all nice. It's just pretty much everything. It's just
you guys. You guys are talking about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I've been getting down with the kids meme raper.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You guys heard of baby No Money, Baby No Money,
Baby No Money, one of the biggest meme rappers in
the world.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
His song La La La got one billion streams off Spotify.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
So hang on, what's the name of the song again,
La La La La La Baby No Money?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
And and the way you're into that is a B,
A B, AN N and O and a dollar sign.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Money no money, La La La La money. He's even
see you on the Sora.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
He's even bigger than Young gravy.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I bet you. Yeah, but young gravy once, once you
put out that sophomore album, reviews, refuse to get that
up reviews. Glenn's desperately tapping in there, like the boomerang
is young young money, will have a bit of will
have a bit of bang or gravy or whatever it is. Anyway,
(09:55):
you guys, just forget that melody here it goes. Is
that it is if you have you got nonswear version when.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Game Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
That's the time on a Friday morning. There we gave
and there were some people who didn't think that this
was a cool show. This shows as cool as the kid. Yeah,
the pickled onions bop to the pop up on the
pickled onions. Oh yeah, hang on his body in vinegar
which is a preservative. So no fridge until you want
(10:34):
it cold to serve. Just keep them in the pantry
or a cupboard.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
There we go, There we go. Problem.
