It's still a thing. Well, Melissa Gilbert I was a
big fan of as well. She was in a little
house on the prairie. And what was Michael's name, the
star of the show that made Michael Michael Landon?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Okay, so what was what was Dad's nickname for Melissa Gilbert?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
It was something like was it half point harp? Pint
was to It was, well, there's a segment are you
still with us? No, there's a segment here of TV nostalgia,
isn't there? In fact, there's probably if we go to
and I'll give you the credit to him, if we
go to New Zealand on air and say we've got
(01:58):
a show for TV Nostelle quiz show for TV nostalgia,
I reckon to be an instant hit game.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's why they're remaking all the old movies. I mean,
we've got nothing but nostalgia these days. Because the world
is such a shit show, We've got nothing but nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We long for the good old days. Speaking of can we?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Can we not? That's the second S bomb in the hour?
Can we just wrap it? Was?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
And I refer you Tim to the BSA's current research
project that allows an increasing number of these words perfectly
acceptable among the wider New Zealand community. So I'm ready
to embrace it more importantly. Calendar, but it's a slippery.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Slope from S bomb to F bomb? Where do you end?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's a good question, our country calendar.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
This weekend because the Warriors are playing, and so the
how to say.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm actually bullishcading. It's only the roosters, and I don't
say that lightly, but between the F one and the
supercars and the Warriors this weekend, it is quite the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Huge weak in on the sofa, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I don't think you might, goodness, I don't. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, My own concern.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Happened in the Hosking house.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
My biggest concern is my knee, which has come right
because I've rehabbed it all week. And my concern is
as I leap off the sofa, whether I reinjured. Yeah,
And so.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You've got to spectator injury.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, exactly, and so I've never injured myself while watching sport,
and I don't think I could bring myself to express
it publicly. If I did, if it went wrong for me,
they go, how'd you do it?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
You're limping? How'd you do it? I go, well, I was,
I was, I was getting the last crossed the line
after four minutes, probably be probably be an acc.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, if it is. If it is, I want to
reverse the tide on acc Hey, us, I just want
to agree with you about Samira Ta Garvey, the arrangement lawyer.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Do you know who?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No? I no, I don't, but she she encapsulates it absolutely,
which is how does international legality change in illegal thugus regime?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
An agreement? She's the way she put it was beautifully articulate.
I I was in awe of the way she was
able to express herself by the way before I forget
our country calendar is sixty today, speaking of television and nostalgia.
Is that now, Katie will disagree, won't you? It's I
think it's of all the television.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You're obsessed with, that you are obsessed with country.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Color because you know what it is. It's it reminds
you of what all that's good about New Zealand and.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
The nostalgia again, more nostalgia.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's current. It's not like the olden days. This is current.
These these are people out there.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, and it's a it's a counter narrative to oh
so and so is down in the poles, Oh so
and so misspoke. So it's like it's it's real, it's
it's it's people on the land and we love the land.
I mean that's good news.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's usually good news, good people, good good, good families
doing hard, good work. And I think everybody. That's always
good news story for everybody, isn't it yet?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Sound like you're warming up, Kate reading videos. I'll get
a couple of back copies for your anniversary, Alfrey Nadia,
who works at TV and ZID, I'll get I'll get
you a couple of back copies and you can go
into the other television room while the warriors are on
and get yourself up to speed. They're an alternate television rooms.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We've got several television rooms depending on what beings.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
And Lulu's got our own television.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm just watching Christy No who happens having just been
sacked to be at an Evington Nashville taking questions, and
none of the questions are about her being fired yet.
And the suggestion was from Glenn that they may not
in the room know yet, which I find hard to
believe because news moves at the pace of whatever, really
(05:57):
fast paced stuff. Gout gout moves at the pace of outgout.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
But you know that is the sort of the middle
of the country as opposed to the edges of the country.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Its long. I understand what you're saying. Tim Katy with
his qu quick question for you, Katie, how long where
would you be staying at the Dubai you're transitting to us?
Where would you be? What would you be at the
Would you be at the raffles?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Well, no, wouldn't you um?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Well, would you not be at the.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Burg No, because that's tacky. You'd bet that's tak.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I've never been.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I'd be I'd be at the raffles. So at the raffles,
how long would you need to be stuck there before?
And my understanding is they're giving free accommodation and food.
How long would you need to be stuck there before
you became worried?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Oh? I'm I first of all, when they say don't
travel to certain countries, I'm someone who wouldn't do that
because I'm really risk averse. Secondly, the second, the very
first anything happened, I would be gone. I would be
looking for an escape out.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, that that applies to about two hundred thousand people currently.
So given that you haven't been able to go on
booking dot com and get us seat, how long before
you're getting nervous?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I'd been nervous the whole time.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I've been nervous.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Wreck, I'll be a total wreck.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
You know how we're going to Europe this year? When
you said let's go Immirates, were you just joking? Ah?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I was this, Oh boy, you gott you've got stop
ivery showed to you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
No, we do not. We're going the other way. Obviously
we usually do.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
No, but Imirates would be a preferred choice to fly.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So well behind here in New Zealand. Of course, just
being patriotically for a moment.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Last, how did you start? Did you start go to Europe?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
They do not where? How long tim would you have
to be stuck in Dubai before you became nervous?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well, if I'm staying at the raffles, with free food
and what is it? Free food and accommodation. Yes, I'd
take the family and we have a holiday too far?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Do you think?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
In all seriousness, And this is interesting because this is
why I asked the question. So the royal family comes
out the other day. They all truck down to the
local cafe for coffee to prove that life in Dubaia
is normal. So can you do you think you've really
only seen the Fairmont on fire from bit of shrapnel
from a drone. Apart from that, thing's reasonably okay? Can
you have a holiday and carry on? Or would you
(08:21):
constantly be lying awake at night thinking this is this
is not good?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I probably yeah, I probably wouldn't be going there.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
No, but you're there, You're stuck. You're a transit passage.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Okay, okay, Well you see the Fairmont burning. How long
ago was the Fairmont burning? Three days? Three days? The
more days you were away from the Fairmont burning, the
more delicious the free.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Food tastes you reckon. So you'd be okay for the foreseeable.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, I think, Well, maybe my risk profile is a
bit higher.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No, that's fine. Next question, Katie, when the c one
thirty gets there from New Zealand, which will be I'm
thinking probably in mid April. Are you hopping on board?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Is this one of the new ones? One of the
fun Now it's not one of the new ones. There's
nothing new about it. So when it arrives, are you
hopping on board? And do you care where they take you?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah? See, that's a real problem.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You know. I've got real sympathy for the people that
are in this at the moment. This reminds me very
much of when COVID happened, and there were always two sides.
There was always the truth was somewhere in the middle.
You know, the government was saying one thing, people in
MiQ and other places were saying something completely different.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
And you've got people there.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
On the ground saying, we can't get hold of them, fat,
we don't know what's happening. And then you've got the
mystery saying we're doing everything we can. We've got a
twenty four seven da da da, we're doing this. We
just just sit tired. It's all cool somewhere in the middle,
all liye the truth And I have enormous sympathy for
people who are stuck in it, because it must be
incredibly anxious, especially if you've got kids and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah yeah, how long? How long before you freak out? Mike?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'd go for a good week. I'd be there for
a good week, absolutely convinced this isn't isn't going I mean,
this is not ideal. Don't get me wrong, this is
a this is a calamity. But I'm absolutely convinced this
isn't going to become a thing. And therefore I would
see that, feel that, and I would be comfortable to
stay there for at least a week, if not slightly longer.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
The same thing you said about this new new Caurier
poll this morning, What about say there's consistent message. Just
as it's not a.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Thing, It isn't a thing. I personally I couldn't give
the monkeys, But there is there is a There is
a viber foot two and you can tell it's election year.
To cause as much trouble as is possible, I think.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And I think, I think I think also misses the
fact that Kiwis are mostly apolitical. So you know, remember
twenty twenty three, you've got the Minister of Justice being
pursued by police dogs on a Sunday afternoon, three months
before the election, and the government doesn't go down in
the polls.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Very nice to see you guys, Tom Wilson, Kate Hawk's Beginning.
