Speaker 1 (00:00):
Carry Woodham, Carrie, what You've been around for a very
long time, And you were turning the wrong microphone on
the whole time.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
And I was waiting until you had finished talking, but.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
You were pressing that button. That's your button over there.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, I'm never in the studio. I feel like the
dog on the couch every time I come in here.
I'm I'm in the This is like.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
An F one driver complaining about having to drive like
a Tyota normally with you're sitting and I am so
so grateful you've been in that seat this week. Can
I just say, that's very kind of you to say,
has been lovely to see your face.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I'm not normally a guest starting, I'm normally in charge. Happy.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
But the risk of making all the sound thanks, thanks, oh,
thank you so much, thank you, At the risk of
making this sound far too agreeable for the Friday morning
wrap up, You've done a great job here that I
was laughing out loud in the car as I was
listening to you saying how anyone who drives an electric
vehicle has been emasculated by their maiden aunt.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Many people as you drove your electric vehicle.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
I couldn't possibly comment because I'm a male, but as
a female you can say that. No, no, I agree
with you.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh, thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Hey, how was so? Did you decide? Okay, did you
decide for your birthday to climb the pinnacles? Was that
you treat.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Not self selected? No. We went up with a bunch
of families, some adults and about twenty five kids. We
walked up the pinnacles. You feel your glutes on the
way up and your quad's on the way down. But
I highly recommend it.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
And the kids handle it okay.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
They loved it. They were bounding ahead and gambling like
Gazelle's So what was lovely? On the morning of my birthday?
At six am, my son Roman started singing Happy Birthday,
and all of these kids, twenty five kids joined in,
and so they were all singing in this We had
occupied one area of a heart, but they all started singing.

(01:53):
And then someone said how old are you? And I
said fifty nine. So they went clap one, two fifteen laps.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
How gloriously wholesome. See, I love hearing stories like this.
We hear about bad kids all the time. There are
so many goods, there are so many, so many good,
so many good carts.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
And I had I'll tell you what I had carry
This would have happened to you a long time ago,
because your daughter is old enough to be having children
of her own and have had. But I had. My
birthday was last month, the first year where my son
sang Happy Birthday to me.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
That was the best I've still got because I'm cleaning
things up, because I've just had the kitchen remodeled, and
I've found all of these boxes of stuff that I
didn't know what to do with, and found all the
love letters from when they're little that have been in
the raw and then special.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
As much Carrie when they are closing in on forty
and redheaded, and yeah, she just doesn't say it. She
still feels the same.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
It's just wonderful.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Keep all the love letters and the love right, Tim,
did you see what the MP's are put on their
credit cards?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I was, I was, I mean, you know, I'm a
stinge and I was so impressed by David Seymour three
miles and what is it, seventy nine bucks?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It doesn't surprise me, no, no, but he was not
a profligate wastrel show and put a coffee on.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Surely you could put a coffee on your own credit?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Can can't you? Well? There is there is that receipts?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well where are they exactly? Because he should be on
this list?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
You are a very good question.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, we'll start a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's what I was looking for.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
What about Chris Bership? Though Harry going to McDonald's three
times in three days? I feel like there's an intervention
needed here.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, you know, I don't want to be food judge,
and you've got to eat on the go. I mean
perhaps mixing it up with a subway would be quite good.
That's healthy choice. What did you I don't know if
you did you.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Stuff for healthy? What about KFC? Where's the KFC receipt?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I had KFC until my very good friendly is who's
a brilliant chef recreated KFC? It was amazing, sort of
did it like fancy Stars?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
You still haven't had KFC. If you have sat in
the drive through for forty minuts, you haven't had cave in.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Your whole life had caves?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I had point. I had two mouthfuls of a double down.
When all those fiery obesity epidemic people said they were dangerous,
So I do.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
They say they're dangerous. So you're like, I better put
that in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, it's just what a stupid thing to say. Yeah,
you know, it's a dumb thing to say. So I
put I had two mouthfuls just to prove they were wrong.
And here I am. You still alive. Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Though, Tim, none of the stuff like comes anywhere close
to what Debbie's been doing with her flying. I want
to know where Debbie has been going.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
She managed to.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Rack up thirty nine thousand bucks in three months. It's
always that, And it's always those guys who are like,
no oil and gas, hold on, I need the gas
for my plane trip.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Except for me.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Here, See, this is why I liked your parenting, Tim,
because there you were climbing the pinnacles with the kids.
You didn't say to the kids, bugger off and climb
the pinnacles while I lie in bed and have a sleep.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
And for my birthday.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
It's leading by example. And that's what annoys me about
people who lecture me. Yeah, I want to see them
do it before. That's why I loved the Jeanette fitz
Simon's School of Green MP.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, but he actually did put her poop in the
garden she did pay supporter. Yeah, if you want the
people to poop in the garden doing yourself. Mean, okay, Tim,
This business about Chris Luxon selling his apartment and then
making one hundred and eighty thousand bucks off it, and
then apparently dodging text, the whole thing just feels to
me like the guy can't copper break because he's wealthy.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Is that what you think?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah? The inference is that he passed passed amendments to
bright Line legislation to save himself seventy k of text,
which anyone who's tried, anyone who's tried to sell a house,
you don't know when you're going to sell the house,
you don't know if you're going to sell it, et cetera,
et cetera, et cetera. What's interesting to me in terms
of his leadership style is remember he paid back that
accommodation supplement when he was early in the job, and

(05:50):
it's like, oh, you shouldn't be getting this da da da.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
That might be off my fault.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
It may ye. Remember when you guys, Remember when you
guys slapped him around the chops about the accommodation. But
this time. This time his officer said, Oh it's a
private matter, shut up, go away. I think he's become
a bit more confident as a leader in this kind
of area.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yea, yeah, Look, I have no problem with people being
wealthy at all when they have created something that people
want to buy, when they have worked incredibly hard and
been chosen as the best in their field globally, and
they've been remunerated accordingly. I know a few wealthy people
who have been wealthy because they had a great idea.
I know people who are wealthy because they inherited it

(06:31):
and built on it. The people I despise the most
are the ones who want to be wealthy and who aren't,
and who just have these trappings because they think it matters,
Like the Devau group people. Oh yeah, you know, the
ones who commission their own reality TV show about themselves.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you want to know something about.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Them that sickens me to my crent.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Do you know that my dad and Kenyan Clark's mum
were lovers for a very Listen, we're talking about your
dad like that, isn't it like they will love that
have together for a very very long time in Cambridge?
And was she a nice woman who values Well, I
can't speak to that. What happened to him?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
What the Sun's clearly needed? Your dad's influence, Well, I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Look at how I turned out. That's half the reason you're.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Not a big note like that. Yes, but to lease
a flesh car because all you can afford is a
Toyota Corolla or something, So you lease a Ferrari and
you have taken by other people's jets?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Was that the Jemary whose gem was that?

Speaker 3 (07:32):
It's it's this misapprehension, it's this idea that the more
money you have, the happy you are. In fact, there's
a Prince and survey that says you earn more than
what is it, seventy five k us. You're actually a
year you're actually no, you're actually only tys happier. Yeah,
it's happiness.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Like I've met some lovely farmers and the shorts and
the boots and the covered in dust and driving a
dungery old tod and they could buy and sell knobs
like that. And if you make something that makes you
a lot of money and generate something and you know,
make music, you'd be as rich as you like. But

(08:12):
please don't pretend because it's utterly pathetic and the remain
can you hear that? Is that?

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Is that you? Tim?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Can I blame you for that?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
What there was?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh no, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
We could hear some interference.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh wait, that might have I did. I did extend
my leg at maybe one of my knees cracking after the.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Good staff and at your age. It was the back
room start.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
It was Sam's put his hand up, He's going to
own this. Hey, Carrie, I know you wanted to actually
talk about this fair bit today this week the christ
Church where the christ Church is the coolest place in
the country.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Would you agree with that? I didn't talk about that.
That was not the one I raised.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, no, no, I know, but I know that you
wanted to talk.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
About this this week, right, And it's.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
A very long wounded way of me. Yet never mind
put that all aside, carry put it all aside. Is
christ Church's the coolest place in the country.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, see, I'm finding cool places everywhere I go. It
is a very cool place to visit. I was just
down there last week. But then I was in Gisbone
and I just saw the retailers have given of Gisbone. Yeah,
have given it a big kicking. I absolutely loved it.
When I went down there, felt completely And we're.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
There for a festival or something like that, We're just
there on it, like the reg year old weekend all
daying Grisbone.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, like never written Mato Emma Freeman. They went down
about a month agoletely in love with Grisbone. Yeah. I
went down a month later for the Citrus Growers Conference.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Like it's the weather, it's the weather.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm going to love a grenade here. I'm going to
love a grenade here.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
The Pinnacles and cool were Thames.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Thames. The hospice shop there is second to none, absolutely brilliant.
There was a pear cut on shirt there for eight
bucks that I couldn't get because it was too big.
Plus the machas is excellent because you go there after
you've been up the pinnacles.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes, actually yeah, I mean a measurements.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I don't care about I don't care about clubs, parties,
DJs or anything like that. Just give me the option
shops and give me the mess.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know what I think has happened here Carrey is
that he came down from the pinnacles he still had
that in Dulkin's high. Do you know when you get
some exercise and you're still great about life, like you're
in love with you? It's basically like clubbing. And then
he was like team's greatest place in the country.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
I don't think if people used those words in a sentence. No, what,
Oh it's too big for me. I couldn't wear it.
It was too big for me. We're gonna have to go, guys.
It was great to chat.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Do you, thank you so much and have a lovely weekend.
