Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mike who provided the wrong number, mistake or collusion straight
to the minister's office. If it's collusion, this goes all
the way to the top, almost the top, because Matt
Doocey is not really the top, but there's into cabinet
off its collusion. Tim Wilson's with us, good morning, and
(00:23):
Kate Hawksby's with us Good Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm still in shock that one of the nineteen producers
at Arenz would be quick enough to say that, And
do we know they actually are you sure they didn't
just say no, that we don't have an interview with you.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
No, they the words have come back from Matt Doocy
quote unquote because we put the wires on them and
we would have ordered him and we said you tell
this straight up and down, mate, and he said the
words were you no longer have an interview with the
Mike Hosking Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That is.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I'm staggered.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm staggered too that they had the wherewithal to do it.
I think that's why I'm not angry, because.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I would.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Someone's facilities and that's news to me.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's good, that's good.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
You should have given did you give them the wet
telephone book as well.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I don't know what to do about it. It's I mean,
I could take this place, as I reckon, I could
take this to the b s A.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
The won't take it to the BSA.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I can't be.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Bothered with the paper to find out who because surely
that person needs a promotion, because they must be the
only person in the building.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I reckon, See that's wet and would you wear a future.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Producer.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
They'll be listening because everyone at radio is listens to
this to work out how to do good radio and so.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, really only to criticize it later.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, but oh no, they work out they've got to
do that publicly but secretly. One of the edicts that
went out to post the survey period they said, you've
got to listen to Hosking to work out how to
do it properly. And so they all have to tune
in for a minut of twenty minutes a day.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
And so that's more than you kate, that's more than
you listen to.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
The word I'm getting back is that they're thoroughly enjoying it,
and they want to introduce a few elements. And so
if you get the call from them. Don't be surprised
if they're looking to replicate some of the stuff here.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Now we can review completely unscripted, like a circus of
drunk people.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
But don't worry. We're with you exactly. We're here exactly now.
Oasis ticket. Tim tremendous upset and up excitement at our
house over the success of us gleaning four tickets to
the Oasis concert next year in Manchester.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Now, but really, I'm not hearing that. I'm not hearing
that in your voice, Mike.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well, not just hearing, because here's the advice I'm seeking.
Do you put yourself in our position, so young person's
got the tickets, do you, as a parent look to
accompany them on the trip and ji on the whole experience.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Because just just let me tell you this, Tim. We
got the news late overnight from the daughter who'd been
online for three hours and we'd gone to sleep, so
she texted all caps, oh, ERG got the tickets. So
I wake up Father's Day morning and I say to
Mike just as he opens his eyes, well guess who's
going to Manchester.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
And he's like not me, and I'm like, yep, we
got to go. And the daughter are both No way,
you're not coming.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I think, yeah, look you should go. It'll be an adventure.
Just do it.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Sort of advice is that that's pretty good advice.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Sometimes the counter is you've got to let them spread
their wings, raise the money themselves, go out and get
a job, book their tickets, book the accommodation.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Totally.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
No, I'm not saying I'm I'm not saying thun the
whole damn thing. But you've got to go to the concert.
But what she's finding it okay, fine, fine, so get
over there, get into the mosh pet make her embarrassed individuations.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
This is what makes it even more pathetic because we
don't have tickets. The four tickets are for her friend.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well I don't go. Sorry, I thought you had tickets.
Tickets we would just literally go and you would drop
them off and pick them up.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, all of these kids, well they're eighteen, they're adults.
They will be eighteen at concert time.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
So that we add and get themselves there.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's a big trip by themselves, and it's a long
way away, and you know time zone, and you know
there could be trouble. It's an oasis consonant Manchester for
goodness sake, any mother would worry.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Surely ask Kirsty you also what she'd do. It's a
very good point, you know what she'd do.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Look, look to be honest here, this is just basically
a little entrevu to pinishing a trip to London.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Isn't it for the parents? Well no, no, Look I
think I've got the solution. I've got this.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
What's what's the UK Correspondent Gavin Gray doing that night?
He can pick them up and drop them off.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
He lives quite a way out of London. He'd find
that to be inconvenient. I've had a beer with Gabon.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And he's a trustworthy person.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Oh he's trustworthy, don't get me wrong. And he paid
for the beer too, had a pint of London Pride
just below the Ferris Wheel in London. Mike, how much
were the four tickets? How much were they cared?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
It?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Was it three grand for four?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
No?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
It wasn't that much.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Actually yeah it was it was.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Oh my goodness, is that's a Azuki swift. I always
do this when it's three grand. It's a Azuki Swiftly
one of those kids really want.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
That's the ticket tech ticket Master scam where they create,
and there's there's an investigation by Parliament and Britain over this.
And what fascinates me about that is it's almost like
they've never held a concert in Britain and never sold
any tickets before because they've been surprised by this ticket
Master thing whereby they jerrymanned the demand, therefore boost the price.
Therefore everyone pays more than they want to pay. And
(06:09):
that's just the way tickets have sold forever. As far
as I can work out, it's saird pricing for you, Katie, Omg,
you have had old children for crying out loud. Let
them into the wild. Are you going to twin rotor
Russian tank lifting helicop to them? It's right up there.
Mothers always worry, counterbalance at Katie. Mothers always worry, no
(06:31):
matter the age. Sometimes you just sometimes you just have
to trust and let them fly. That's from gen Who's
I think on your side?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Okay, I probably wouldn't worry so much if she wasn't
going to an Oasis concert in Manchester. You put those
two things together. If she was just going to the UK,
it might be all right. But Manchester and Oasis and
the crowd Oasis brings with them makes me slightly worried
having said that, I'm not going to go to Manchester myself.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh, for goodness sake, have.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
You got any trustworthy uncles, relatives, anyone you know that could.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
That's what we're working on.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
There is a son living in London and we.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Are working That's what I thought, the word being trustworthy there, Tim,
that's the that's why we're still working on.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Take the foot pint or two of that London. Get
Gavin Gray to give them a points or two of
that London.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
London Pride can't beat London Pride. Take the foot off cap.
My son flew to South Africa. So you worried about Manchester.
My son flew to South Africa at nearly eighteen. Took
a leaf out of Kirsty's book Lego.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's impressive.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Look, it's not it's not easy letting go of the
last child.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I tell you what.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's not easy after five of them and she's the lastly.
It's very you know, it's quite traumatic as a parent
when you're when you're youngest is finishing up school and
venturing out into the big wide world.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You've got all the still at four.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
That's because you have to pay it to start paying
attention to that schmuck. You're married, that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
That's true. Do you know.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I sit here, I've never been more enthused about our
future life together. Because you do read those stories about
the couples when the kids leave home and stuff, that
they look at each other and go on Jesus in
a way to marry you and then it all falls apart.
There were some stats out the other day on divorce.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Oh that was divorce.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And did you read those It's at
fifty five plus. The percentage goes up, and it's based
on the fact that kids leave home, you look at
each other, realize you shouldn't have been married in the
first place, and then you get divorced. Whereas I've never
been more enthused about spending the rest of my life
with Katie. You've got a dog though, you we have
(08:32):
we have the dog helps. Yeah, I suppose that's true.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Now, I don't think those stats apply to people who
married at forty five, So I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I've never been more in love with my WiFi that
she's just amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, there you go, Mike, admittedly you're the pre eminent broadcaster,
but do you really have the resources to find out
who this Finket Radio New Zealand is. I almost can.
I almost doubt you can. They will close ranks.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
They will.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I think Mitch is right.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I think an oia could be.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Excellent question.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Release all phone records on the day at the time.
That wouldn't even take very long. Producers which one of
the nineteen picked up the phone and went, hild.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Shoe was on the other foot.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It would be so easy because you've.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Got one so exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I got the single producer whose name is also.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Had a Pakistani producer already in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I did love your bird calls behind.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That was very good.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That was very funny to hear.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Is there a bird in the background anyway?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
I've got to I've got to know, Oh quick question, Tim,
how many record shops? So there's an ad for the
Dave Gilmour album right on our show this morning and
I just played Dave Gilmore and it says available now
at a record shop near you, In fact, a good
record shop near you. How many record shops you are?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You reckon?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
They were left in New Zealand two right, that's what
I said. And do you know how many there are
on k alone Inkland?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It was about five. That's true.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Vinyl collection is huge.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well it's yeah, yeah, that's true. Actually.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Actually the other thing is I saw a piece about
books are coming back because people are abandoning abandoning devices
because they actually want artifacts.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I don't think books ever went anywhere, did they? Thought
books have always been popular and the kindle never took off,
and we love books. But I'm pleased to hear that
that's the case.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Five yep, No five five shops in New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
No five record shops and k Road alone. Okay, anyway,
you have a good week.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Hend No one can go to them anymore because k
Road is just one giant bus lane finnnily enough.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's exactly what I said off here to people says
they can't get there given the places closed down. But
that's that's for another day. Hey, do you just quickly
