Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kate Hawksby's with us along with Tim Wilson. Good morning
to you. Go on, quick question for you, Tim, in
all honesty, in all honesty, and don't feel embarrassed if
you would have if you find fault here. If I
asked you to go clean a pylon and I said,
here's your water blaster, Tim, go whip whip the water
(00:21):
blast around that pylon, would you at any point and
you have no experience Just for the record, you have
no experience cleaning pylons, do you?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I have zero experienced cleaning pilon That is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Right, And I have no one to supervise you today
because we're a bit short starved at the moment. So
if I say to you go grab that, just say, look,
you'll need to remove the bolts to clean them all up.
At what point do you think you would remove all
the bolts so it fell over?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
There was there's no point. Why would you continue removing
the bolt that thing? You might remove the bolts on
the first one, water blast that, then remove the put
the bolts back on, then the next one. Just that
what you would do?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I believe that to be the case. Would you concur
with that caddy?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I wouldn't concur I actually think the first thing you
do is say, if you have no experience, you've never
done this before, and it as a major is to
say put your hand up and say we're going to
need some direction or guidance or help on that. Like,
there's nothing wrong with asking for help.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
No exactly, and so obviously I didn't. They didn't have
any one supervising. So does this and Caddy, am I
being unfair? Does this not encapsulate in its own small
way pretty much everything that's wrong with New Zealand at
the moment. We've kind of in a way become become pathetic.
There's just no expence for it.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I know my brother came through a walking deport yesterday
having hands I don't know how long in Europe, but
it felt like forever, and he said basically, coming back
to New Zealand feels like we now we are FG
unfortunately without the ukuleles and the singing. You know, that's
what we need to maybe brighten ourselves up a bit,
but we're sort of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I do not get moved, Do not get me started
about Auckland Airport or we should rename it for del
Castro International. That place hates freedom.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Where have you been, weena? Are you picking people up
to me?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
No, no, no no. I'd slip down to christ Church
during the week, the lovely place by.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
The way, loving a bit of Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Here's my reason. Here's my reason is number one. They
they don't sell chutty at Auckland Airport. You can't buy
chewing gum there because they believe you can't operate your
own chewing gum. You go to christ Church, domestic correct,
You go to christ Church, you can buy chewing gum
because they believe that you can operate your own chewing
(02:40):
gum in christ Church. Oh and by the way, at
Auckland Airport, when you're coming down the escalator after just
bought it, you know, getting off the plane, at the
bottom of the escalator, there's a voice saying, please mind
your step as you step off the escalator. If you
can't step off an escalator, there's a whole lot more
problems waiting for you outside the airport with cars, roads,
(03:03):
et cetera. It's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Brandon Flavor.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Brand and Flavor are whatever's going? Yeah, you're not sure
you're not sugar brands. I might do a teeth whitener
if I'm feeling a bit, You.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Know, Grett, do you believe in that? Do you?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Do you honestly when you purchase your teeth whitening chewing gum,
do you honestly believe your teeth will whiten, glisten.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I'll sparkle like the sun, Michael, of course they.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Will very upsetting for your microbiome. Chewing gum should steer
clear of it.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Speaking of which.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Sugar free from good? Is it?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Sugar free?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Tim sugar business and false sweetners and chemicals.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
But also it also but it's on the on the counterbalances.
It invigorates the saliva that helps clean your teeth, so
it's good for your teeth.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That part is true. Uh And and my hygienist has
told me that very story. I used to be into
the hubber bubba for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Bubbles no troubles.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That is so true, mind you. I was twelve or thirteen,
Cadie from from Good Bugs, Fresh Raw and Alive. I
had the note Dear Kate and Mike, and this it
was this time last week, thank you for your public
appreciation of our kimchi sprinkles. We're having an amazing week
and not much sleep. Why are they not having much sleep, Caddy.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Because they're frantically trying to get out all the Kimchi
Sprinkles orders because the website's sold out and they've got
a big list of people waiting for Kimchi Sprinkles and
they're very kindly gifted us. Some of their crowds in
the interim, didn't they twitch?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Which is not it's not a replacement for a sprinkle
because crowd is a separate thing. But delicious, nevertheless.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Is a sour kroud. Are we talking soaukrat? They didn't
they didn't seen a couple of Germans over.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, that's that's going to do. That's going to do
the micro buy. I'm a world of good is it?
I can't read the writing?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Maria, Maria Daniel Daniel.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
But they now called mister and missus kim.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Sprinkle Kars, Mister and Missus kimt Sprinkle. It gladdens my
heart that we, in some small way have helped out
a little mum and dad business in this country to
do a little bit better. By the way, yeah, I
think I think. I think it's brilliant too. You're watching
the Olympics at all.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Tim, We're well, we did a little can I no no,
can I? Can I tell you something just on the QT.
So we tried to get on sky Open and we
couldn't really do it, and so we went on YouTube.
Well you know, you're supposed to log in and there's
an email adaries blah blah blah. So we ended up
(05:39):
on YouTube. This is what the kids. I was like, oh,
I'll watch the Olympics. So we ended up on YouTube
and we saw a four minute thing of the opening,
sort of a shortened version, and then we saw something
else and well we just it was actually the twenty
twenty Olympic BMX competition, So we just watched that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But it was quite exciting. It was quite exciting for
the list.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, and suddenly enough we watched. When we watched the
next event, one of the one of the competitors, same
guy had grown a bed and put on weight, but
no one noticed that.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I love it. Good Olympic experience and unique Cody. Quite
a bit of you won't have tuned into the program
this morning, but quite a bit of support from on
the on your BSA complaint that you lost so egregiously
those months ago before you stormed out of the industry
never to return again over the equity business and the
health system. And now that the equity business and the
health system has been canceled, most people think you probably
(06:32):
owed an apology by the BSA.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh is that what's happened? Because I've had all these
weird emails and messages this morning on Instagram and saying
you deserve an apology for the BSA, And I'm like,
what have they held another thing against me? But so
that's what it is? Okay, cool?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I won't hold my breath waiting for that.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
No, indeed not. I've got problems. How old are you again? Tim?
Do apologize for keeping on asking that question? That's right?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So I'm not. I'm not I'm younger than you?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Are you by how much?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I'm I'm fifty eight?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay? So Andrew kellerher. Another thing you won't have heard
on the program this morning because you won't have been
tuned in, Katie, is that Andrew Kellerher, our finance guy
is celebrating his sixtieth next month. Guess what he's doing,
what cycling twenty seven mountains in France.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, that's not you, that's not your cup of tea
at all.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
No, that's impressive.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
See, that's the thing to him, and that's why I
raised it. It's now I'm in it. I'm in a
sixtieth birthday bitch, because now whatever I do, I mean,
it's that's either idiotic and you think, why would you
do that? What a fall? Or it's impressive, isn't It's
one or the other. And then whatever I come up with,
people are going, it's as good as.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Why don't you just why don't you.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Just pop yourself into your favorite pair of trackies and
T shirt and have a nice him and mild tea
and watch some of your favorite Warriors games from the YouTube.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
That's honestly what he wants to do. To him, he
was like, why with the kids? I'm like, because we
do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He's like, that's all I want to do, which is
the hang with a fan bear.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, but it's not like it's not like I'm going
to France to cycle mountains, is it? I mean, you know,
in the.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Same here's the question, are you are you accepting that
you're sixty or are you very much?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'm I'm completely comfortable that I feel I don't feel
so amazed. I want to cycle twenty seven mount times.
But I thought I was feeling pretty good.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah you got you had that sticky shoulder.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, I've had the medical things, Tim, Yeah, but but
they've recovered. Now I've recuperated out there. I don't forget
that he started wearing polo shirts as well. Is that
a is that an age thing? Well, what's what's You're
just all of a sudden gone from wearing designer T shirt? No, no, no,
I don't even know what a level of mature. Actually, no,
this I'm saving the marino.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
No, it looks like the side of a pair of
Long Johns, that one.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'll give you that.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
About Katie. Why don't you slipped your man into a
pair of long Johns for a sixt year?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It's kind of it's kind of pretty the lookings going
for the moment. I'm not against it. He's gone off
T shirts, which is a real shame.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Actually, the alligator on the front seat. I haven't. I
haven't gone off T shirts. All that happened was I
wanted to support the marino industry of this country.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, no, what happened was you found yourself downtown when
you missed a here appointment. You have nothing else to do,
and you didn't want to you didn't actually want to
talk to anyone, so you'll wait to them all happen.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
And it's just unfortunately the other day the ones I
ordered turned up as well, so I'm now feeling obligated
to wear them.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Oh okay, I wonder what's happened because you don't seem
to have an explosion of Marino in your wardrobe, and
I'm just wondering if this is actual.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I've seen them. I'm sensing a new maturity here. I
think this is positive. I've got a question, Mike quick
one chill. It's a chill Chills related question. Pink frost
or leather jacket.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Leather jacket boom, because I don't even know what the
other thing was.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Bed like a sixty year old. I love it. I
don't even know what that that rubbish is. I'm not
going to go for it.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
