that you mentioned, and I just want to give it
to Matt Pain today.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You at the supercars, not of the supercars yet, just
here at the Commodore Hotel and just waiting to cut loose, smell,
smell a bit of gasoline, watch some rubber burn and
get down.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Are you Is the Commodore any different to when I
stayed there in nineteen ninety four or five.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well, I don't think many of the listeners were alive then,
but it's a great place, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Just your two minutes down the road, Memorial Ab turn right,
boom you there.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yep, yep, all set, all set. And you know what
you were saying about the vibe in christ Church. It
is amazing. Here went to the STA watch the Crusaders
last night doing a practice for the stadium was open.
There was just an incredible vibe in a city.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
It looks looks Cadie morning to you. It's goodto hello.
I'm here. He was just partner in crime, two persons,
to be fair. To be fair, he raised my favorite
subject in the world which of course is Christ Jurch
and and this weekend has to be Christ Juurch with supercars.
And so he had me, you.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Know, how to play play by the rules, Kate, don't
change the rules. Play by the rules.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Exactly, Katie. The coup, give me, give me the vibe
on the coup. What have you heard this morning? Did
you think did you think old Bishop? Do you think
old Bishop did his chances any good?

Speaker 4 (01:32):
So he's blown. He's absolutely blown. I'm so embarrassed for him.
I was cringing through the whole thing. Chris Hopkins vibes.
Doesn't get out of bed till seven, disgraceful, lazy for
having his first cup of coffee, is barely read the paper. Hello,
you want to run the country? No thanks, total Chris
Hopkins vibes vague, lazy, disorganized. You could just absolutely run

(01:55):
several buses Through all of those answers, he didn't have
no conviction whatsoever. Did you ask him the key question,
does like one hundred percent has support and backing? Because
I don't think he could say yes to that. He
just sounded too flaky.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, he sound What I found most revealing about it was,
as I said earlier, he knew the questions were coming.
It wasn't. It wasn't like I shocked him out of
left field.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's like no, no, but he didn't sound like he knew.
Was the thing like practice, practice, go as they're a cue.
No no, no. What you'd say is no, not at all,
it's not happening.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, are you?

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Are you the architect?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
When you say he knew? Did Sam warn him?

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah no, he said on you you said I knew,
asked me about this? Warm yourself up, mate, jeez.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
So so we actually went to the Webber Brother's circus yesterday.
I think they should rename themselves a national party because
they get a bit more cut throat.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Did you that Webber Brother's circus? And they still got
the bendie people.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
The thing that struck the bendy people were Oh, the
one that can sort of hop around with the person.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Who bends them over backwards and rolls around.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh my goodness, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it was It
was It was like watching watching someone turn themselves into
a spider. And then they do and and sort of
walk around with their feet in front of their face,
and then they do the the that actually do you
sund like Christmas or twining.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
When was the last time we went to the circus?
Apart from our relationship, Katie was the wind.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Because you're in the circus, you are the circus.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Every day is a circus, not my circus, not my monkeys.
When the kids were a little and we did a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Of circus with the kids, Yeah we did, didn't we
They loved it And it doesn't feel like the nineteen
nineties when you go to the circus. You know, when
you look out the back of the tent, there's a
few people with no teeth.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
There is there is sort of a circus crowd, definitely there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so so that but that's that's that's part of the experience.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
But what do they changing to remember the Katie when
we had all five at home, so the troop of
seven would rock up and what was it like nine
thousand dollars for candy floss? You know, it was like
the biggest scam in the world, wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah it was expensive, but they loved it.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
They it's trying to create memories. Now there we go.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
We'll send them the invoice. Do you remember when we
went to a circus? Okay, pay up, pay the dough. Actually,
this is quite good. This is a good business, This
is a good whiteboard session.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Exactly, pretty freak morning. Sorry, sorry Katie? Is this good?
Is this a pre ad or post ad?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
No?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
No, no, no, Just just to finish this little segment I
wanted to say. I think who this morning has been
good for is Christopher Luxen?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Can I say that I've got some Apparently that interviews
exploded within the National Party this morning, and I might
have been receiving a little bit of feedback that suggested
that that interview might have lanced the whole boil, and
the whole thing will now go away as resolve of it. Well,
wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
I wouldn't be surprised because he no longer looks like
your man, does he?

Speaker 1 (05:02):
He certainly doesn't. Message Katie, what are you doing tomorrow
about lunchtime?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I'm well, what's the offer? Hunt?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, Jason the boss, it's his wife's birthday and he
needs a babysitter. It seems it seems incomprehensible that his
wife has been trending towards forty for many years, and
it seems incomprehensible that he's failed to get a babysitter
on the day. But anyway, say it's getting a bit desperate,
and he's just wondering if you.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Why, why don't YouTube?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
Why don't YouTube? Round?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
We should definitely have them, because he has offered to
have our dog.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
While we're away, because I am struggling.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Fears fair fast, fair sitting his shoes and sits for dogs, and.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
So we should have his children, he should have our dog.
Perhaps we should all just move them together like commune vice.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Actually wouldn't be batter I quite like to live with Jason.
Can I just say this off air he was he
was offering, so just to bring you up to speed
to him, we're going away and we need a dog sitter,
and our dogs are cotcase and we're really pathetic owners. Anyway,
point B, because you're bad, bad dog parents. Happened absolutely shocking.
Dog has pumpkin for lunch. Does that give you a clue? Homemade?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
But I'll look, I'm offering a really good package for
the dogsitter, and there is a gap in the market
for premium, high end en home luxury dog sitting. I'll
pay top dollar, all meals will be pre prepped. I'm
offering filled fridge plus paid cash. It's a good offer.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
We've got We've got the Wilson's have got four dogs already,
one more can't hurt.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
We'll do it. That's that's your problem. That's your problem.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
I need people to move in though I need you need.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
People to move And here's it. And the other problem
with dogs.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
That is exclusively for Lulu.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
No other job. See this is it. So she needs
to live at home and she doesn't need to interact
with other dogs. And most dogs thatters do other dogs,
they do like half a dozen dogs at a time,
and they think it's all going to work out anyway.
Off the adjacent said, first thing he was offering Lewis
was a steak, and I said, that's the problem. That's
what I'm saying. He hasn't got a clue. He's just

(07:05):
a crazy man. He goes, she's not.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Allowed to other scraps of human food.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Unfortunately, that's what I said.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
The problem, it's exactly what it's exactly what I said.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It sounds like you're raising a monster.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Like looking at Mike staying home from the trip so
that he can look after the dog. That's that's that's
honestly where we got to he was like, I think
I'll just have to stay and I was like, I
think so too.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
The woods. When I came home the other day, Tim, word,
this is a massive black cloud over my head. That's
where this is a massive black cloud over my head,
and sleep over it and there's a peacemaker. I go,
don't worry about it. I'll stay at home.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Darling.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
You go to Europe, you have a good time in Europe,
and I'll just stay at home with a dog, no problem.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Unfortunately, then my daughter said, oh, but he's the fun parent,
the one I wanted him to come.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
She just saw shopping was going out the door in
a big didn't count.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Switch off Mike, Kate and to leave Chris Bishop alone.
Your views are not the same as mine. Could you
three run the country any better? Of course not. Do
you know what I reckon I would run the country better.
I'd back myself. What about Yeah? What about you? Timmy yourself?
I reckon I could run the country better. I don't think, Okay,
you're a loser. So Katie and I could run the country. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I'm not going into a party with two people who
can't even raise a dog to be a reasonable creature
and they expect to run the country. You can't even
run a pooch and you want to get out of town.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Actually that that's that's the point what I would roughly
call ins amount of evidence. Actually I withdraw, I withdraw
and apologize. You have a lovely weekend. Are you actually
going to the cars? Tim? Are you going to Rupoooner?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (08:46):

two Rupoooner in your entire life?
