Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kate Hawksby's with us along with Tim Wilson. Good morning,
good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning. How many people do you reckon Fell for
your paper mache art story?

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Was that why the boss was talking to you? Stop
making See?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
How many people don't understand I don't understand art? Do they?
It's just like everyone's a critic and a skeptic.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's like what we know for a fact is that
absolutely none of that was true.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Absolutely no, that was true. But here's the deal. The
AI Hosking will be able to create beautiful.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Did you read that, but you'd be a listener reader?
Did you read the article and the listener about me?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I was glad you read it because I don't have
the paywall, so thanks a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Is there a paywall on the listener? Yeah? Oh my god?
Who thought of that? I mean? Who would pay money
for the listener?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm pretty.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I get. I mean that do they understand that a
paywall is on a supply demand basis and you need
a demand.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Here's the deal I found. I found listeners up because
me and the boys tramp the pinnacles during your holiday
and and at the hut at the top of the pinnacles.
There are listeners, there are new listeners, so they I'll
tell you who buys the listeners. It's trampers.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Trampers read the listener. I think that.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Actually makes sense to me. That that that that.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
That trampers drink gum boot tea. Read the listener and
read the listener like across and listen to tune into
Jesse Mulligan for a laugh. Yeah, actually speaking about.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Is a funny guy. But they probably they probably they
still don't know that Jeanette fitz Simon's has left the
Green Party, so then they keep voting.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, that might be why they're tramping. They're looking for it. Now,
speaking of the Afternoon Show, am I and I'm making
this up as they go along. But here's my problem
for the week. Do the Afternoon Show the new Afternoon Show?
Do they operate? And hear? I knew it. So the
first thing they sitting in your chair?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
They would they would? Would I heard them joking about
sitting in your chair?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, well that's going to change. So first, first clue,
the left first clue was there's a separate screen. There's
a new screen, So I thought, hold on, maybe they
are in here. So that was fine. I don't mind
because I share because I'm not only an out, but
I'm a client sharing that.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's why Jason was talking to you. You want your
own just for you, because I mean, they really shouldn't
be in there, should they?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Because they're pigs. I'm just going to call it right now.
They are disgusting, messy little pigs. So the only thing
I haven't gotten to the bottom of is one of
them sits literally where I do, and the other person
sits on the other side. Now, the person here's the
here's the thing, and as the person who cleans up
in the studio at first thing in the morning with
my dyson, the person the one on the other side

(02:52):
is the big pig. And I don't know how much
food they consume and where they get it from, but
very very little of it goes in their mouth and
most of it ends up on the floor. And the
stuff they put in the rubbish pin is sticky and
it smells, and the whole thing just reeks of disaster.
Now I'm going this.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
As the best Mike's Minute you've done all week.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
This fantastic, I'm going to guess, because I'm going to
get you which one of the two it is because
I saw I saw the other day for the first
time Tyler. I saw a photo of him for the
first time the other day. I don't know Tyler, but
I saw a photo of him the other day and

(03:36):
it was that classic thing where he looks nothing like
I assumed he did.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's very radio, isn't it very very radio?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But I have met Matt. And if ever you've seen
a photo of Matt or met Matt, and you look
at the photo of Tyler and then have met Matt,
and then you ask the question, which low rent is
going to leave most of their lunch on the floor.
I'm thinking, I'm thinking that's Heath. Am I right? Or
Am I right?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I think you're I think you're probably I'd say you're
probably being on.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm going to triangulate this, Yeah, I'd say so. I
don't want to throw Met under a bus, but probably him.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I mean, I don't know Tyler either, but I imagine
Tyler is in your chair.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Tyler seems Tyler seems a shade repressed. But that's that's
coming from a person who doesn't know him, but certainly so.
Dr Hoskin is.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
In the house like quietly off air.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
You know me, everything had just comes to my mind.
He strikes me as a person who doesn't drop his sandwiches,
whereas whereas Matt Matt strikes me as just a complete
wreck and so all.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
He's doing, Matt Matt strikes me as a person who
throws sandwiches across the room just for fun.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, I reckon, that's true. And the question is, and
we need to take a break. What am I going
to do about it? Because it's it's unacceptable. What I'm
just They've just their producer. Who's their producer? It is Andrew.
Andrew's just texted, and they've got a special lunch organized
for today, the whole lunch. They are the newbies. They've

(05:08):
been here for three and a half minutes. For God's sake.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Hey, look, I just I had a reflection during during
the break, which is that you might be judging a
book by its cover. So Tyler might be a peer repressed,
well groomed and self controlled, yes, but in the studio
may maybe something else comes out.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
It may be a crazy guy. Yeah, well it seys here.
Definitely this must have come up in the program, because
Sue texts me it's definitely isn't tyler that leaves a
mess if you can wash his towels every day? He's
pretty bedanetic having said that I wash my towels every day.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, but also you go out, you wash your tails
every day.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I wash my tails every.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Day, and you eat in the control room and the
news and in the breaks, which is maybe what they
should be doing instead of good.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
God, one, caddie, you should be a management here. I
don't know why management who is here, who is paid
to do a job, don't implement a few basic structures
like leave the studio and go to the lunch room
each lead.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Like which which towels? You mean you wash your bath
towels every day?

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Well, no details are constantly because I'm constantly in the kitchen.
The amount of baking I do on a daily basis
at the moment. But yes, my my bath to.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
All the showering and saunering. He burns through a lot
of towels.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
How were your school holidays? By the way, Tim, apart
from the pinnacles, they were great.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Actually, what we what we did this week was we
we want to get the boys working, so we made
up little pamphlets offering their services as dog walkers and
lawn waterers, which probably not so good given the rain.
And we wandered around the neighborhood distributing those blood in
your style, and the people come back with offers. Nothing yet.

(06:46):
But I got to tell you, you're talking about metrics,
talking about the o c R. The letter boxes in
our city are a disgrace, filled to brim. They got soggy,
you know, the soggy local rag poking out of it.
No one's moved letterbox are a metric. We're in trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
What's the percentage of letterboxes that have no flyers? Please?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
It's the phrases no junk mail. I interpreted that as
actual mail, a pamphlet from a young man wanting to
make something of himself. I thought I'll just bypass that.
A high percentage, absolutely high percentage.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Were we, Katie, walking as we do, hand in hand
with young Lewis up the street and we looked up
the driveway to a house that we have coveted, and
up the driveway on the house we have coveted was
a young man who was water blasting as driveway. Am
I correct? And am I correct?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah? You see quite a lot of that. Maybe it's
I don't know. I think there are some industrious young
people out there, especially bear in mind at school holidays.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
That's right. And what did I turn and say to you,
apart from along the lines of was it or was
it not? Along the lines of where did we go
so badly wrong in our parenting?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, that's right. You said, none of our kids have
water blasted the.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Driveway exactly, And further, I said, if we'd asked any
about kids to water blast the driveway, you know what
would have happened, And what would have happened is no
water blasting. And the you are as a beacon of
hope for us all. But can I can I.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Just give some context, which is that when certain boys
are reminded, as they are every morning, that to get dressed,
to make their beds, to empty the dishwasher, the howls
of outrages and this is some appalling regime that has
just been conceived overnight to suppress and miserate them, and

(08:33):
just wouldn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Do you want some good news, Katie?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, I'd love some good news.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Third season of Fisk about to drop.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Ah, that's not as good as telling me that no,
there are better. There are better shows.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
That I would name three.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Well, I was said that they Chaos.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Which I enjoyed on Netflix, and they were going to
do a second season.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
They're now or not, and so that's because is what
Netflix does and just cancel. Just devastating.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, Fisker has got three seasons. How can a three
season show be worse than one that didn't even make
it make it past one?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I reckon the tramp is reading the listener? Would watch fisk.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, good point. I think that's probably true. Season one
was brilliant, Season two was fantastically disappointing. So there's hope
for season three.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
I think I think you guys need to spend less
time sitting on the couch looking at the telly and
more time handheld walks.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
We do know what we do is we do handhold walks.
And then what I do is I rub her feet
in front of the television. I do a lot of
foot rubbing in front of the television.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
I did I do that with Rachel?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Do you want to swap for a while? Did she
have last week?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
He's got the best She's got the best feet in
the world.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Absolutely, I mean sorry, it's just a little a little
bit loose on a Friday. Anyway, to see you guys,
and we'll we'll catch up this time next week if
if all goes well, Kate Hawk's be Tim Wilson for another.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
