Speaker 1 (00:00):
God bless Kate Hawk's being God bless and Wilson, Good
morning to both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Good morning, good morning you too.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Should quick question for you, Tim, what's the ratio of
sportage watching on a weekend before it becomes problematic inside
your average marriage? How much should average marriage?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Okay, so look, I'll probably say I don't have a
lot of experience.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Because you can't you come to it as a neutral observer.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Okay, Okay, I think I think there are two issues here,
and I'm coming at it. You know, to kids with
screen time, there's duration, but there's also approach when it's
switched off, and are their tantrums? And also is there
is there an engagement with the spouse while the sport
is being is being They're.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
All good points. My counter and this let me bring
Jason the because Jason said, and he's quite right, it's
not my fault because I don't schedule the sport.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
And what oh no that's no, no, no, no, well
you can you can watch it anytime.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
No no, no, no, you can't, Tim stop because it's
my only My only writer on this would be if
I said, all of a sudden, hey, look, the cricket's on, No,
I don't watch cricket, and Katie quite rightly would be
able to say you don't watch cricket, this is crap.
But for example, the f ones this weekend, I've got
(01:36):
to watch the f one and I can't tim then
go in the middle of December, Hey, look, I might
go watch the Brazilian Grand Prix from last month because
it's it's it's spoilt, it's over, so I've got to
watch it when it's happening.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
So when's the IF one happening?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Though? That's my cour over the week? Actually, well you
got on weekend Friday, Friday, well, Saturday, Sunday money really
so Saturday morning is practice one, practice too. Sunday is
practiced three in qualifying and then on Mondays the race.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Itself, and then Saturday nights there's always something, isn't there.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Saturday nights well, I mean the early hours of Saturday morning.
You got the All Blacks. Yeah, it's unpatriotic not to
watch that.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah no, no, no, I'm feeling you're paining Katie. There's
a lot of sitting in front of screens.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, please don't, because when I don't sit in front
of it, and term an independent woman. And I actually
said to him this weekend, when he was explaining just
how much sport he was looking forward to, I said,
why don't you just do that? Why don't you go
and watch all that and do that in another house?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Say that another house.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You go and do all that, and I will say,
here you and and you just wrap yourself up in
it and enjoy.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It, because all I do.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And you said, no, I like you being there. And
I said, what hovering in the kitchen?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No, you said, quote unquote being the little woman.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Being a little woman.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, and you are not. You're not the little woman.
Is there any room, tim? Let me ask you this
as as a neutral umpire here, is there any possibility
that that that you could could make things better by
participating in the sport watching yourself?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Katie could do it?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Oh? Hold on, late breaker, I should have known this.
Late breakers stand by, it's a sprint weekend, So one
less practice and you'll be qualifying for the sprint and
then the then you've got to qualify. So there's actually
one more race. Oh no, no, no, there's no.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Look, you need to you need and I'm putting on
my parental voice here. You need to pick what you
want to watch, you're going to get I think a
total of three hours over a weekend is reasonable. And
then how can that be?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I didn't schedule it, Tim. It's not my fault if
practice goes on longer.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Than and you know what, it's not my fault that
Netflix has Transylvania Hotel one, two and three. But I
am determining when you are going to watch it, how
you're going to watch it, how you will engage, and
how you will disengage, and also what you will do
for your bride to nourish the relationship this weekend. What's
your artie?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's nice?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, he'll just he won't do any of that to me.
He'll just sort of watch the sport and I don't mind.
I don't mind. It's just he watches it and he
yells at it and he screams at it, and he
swears at it, and it's so loud, and it's it's
sort of like he he has this kind of solo
in the lounge concert going on, and it's very difficult
to do anything else.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
No, I I've seen I've seen it obviously. I've seen
some of your Instagram posts and it's very alarming.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I'm quite about something.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It is good to be passionate about something. But yeah,
I think a bit of the cultar soap for the swearing, Katie,
I don't think you need that kind of language around
the home.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Do you know anybody that's how we do it? Do
you know anybody Katy by the way, that went to
the Travis Scott?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
No, lots of people that win Travis Scott. He only
played for an hour and he had no opening act.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So I think our set our set up producer took
a day off work. No way, that's what I said.
What exactly, That's what I said as well, I said
what in no way, not necessarily in that order. Took
a day off work to go see some loser turn
up a day later, day early. Who knows when to
sing for one hour and leave? Wow? In any fights,
(05:20):
were there any fight? Because there were fights at the Yea,
he was he was one of that. He was one
of the people involved in the fight in the mash.
But this is why he's not at work for the rest.
He was in the he was in the moshi beating
people up. I don't know what to do about it. Yeah,
it's going well, Mike you need a man cave, Mike.
The current ones more important than marriage, Mike. I wish
my wife would be like Katie and just let me
watch the sport and peace. Imagine. You know what I think.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I was reflecting on this during the break. I think
I've got it right. I think I've got the hack
here for you. So what you do is you rip
it on the way home, You rip into the pack
and save. You get some of that pancake mixed for
four ninety eight, You get the spray on cream for
about the same, and you buy a week bottle of
Lindau for about, I don't know, fourteen bucks, and you
(06:04):
surprise your bride in the morning with a champagne breakfast
made by your own quivering hands. And you can do
what you like all weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I used to spray the cream honor, and she doesn't
like it anymore. Is that what you mean?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You have a rest, Hey, it could be worse. You
could be on a plane to New York tonight. Have
you explained to your audience why you're not in the
US for the election?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah? Good question, Kay, good question. No I haven't I've explained. Well,
I said such a boring It's such a boring wall.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You were going to be on a flight to New
York tonight and I thought I had a whole week
to myself.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well that is true.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Fortunately that's now canceled and you're at home watching sports.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
The key to it is is that the problem is
New York, because New York may or may not be
the place we need to be. And if you can
believe this, and it still isn't sorted. As far as
I know, as of this morning, nobody knows where Kamala
Harris is going to be on election night.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I can't let I'm okay just to I'm hearing a
lot of outsourcing of responsibility. Here are you kt Oh,
it's not my fault, the f one'es on this weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
The problem is New York. What else are you, god,
that you're not responsible for?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's all Carmala's fault.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well, it's Calma's faults. Here's the thing, here's my argument.
First of all, you're going to know what city is
she in? So she's going to be in Washington or
San Francisco, possibly Philadelphia. Still, so the Sydney Morning Herald
yesterday we're reporting she's going to be in Philadelphia we'd
a story yesterday from NBC News unconfirmed that she was
going to be at is at Brown University whatever a
(07:32):
university is in Washington, but they weren't sure that's true
because they hadn't confirmed. So the next thing is to
be in Washington. First of all, you have to get
to Washington, which isn't the end of the world. Then
what do I need to do to be with Carma
on election night? What do I need to do? Tim
you've done it. I need to get accreditation from the
State Department. Accreditation a Thursday afternoon or Friday morning as
(07:52):
it is now, I can get to the State Department
and say, by the way, I'm going to be in
Washington next Wednesday. Can you give me security clints? Please?
What do you reckon the chances of that happening our
apart from zero.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Also with international media, as we found last time in
twenty sixteen, they've done Americas couldn't give a toss about.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No exactly exactly. And so here's why I need this,
Here's what here's here's what you do.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm full of solutions. So you know, when I was
at Schallenberger put the plane down in the in the
east River. No, it's not the East River, the other
side the Hudson. Hudson, right, So we wanted to land
landed yet in the river. We wanted to film that
they wouldn't let us through. They wouldn't let us through. Then,
less to halt from NBC. The anchor materialized at the
(08:34):
security gate with a swarm of people around him, and
of course the gates just opened up, and then me
and my cameraman just sort of sauntered through in this.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I need to find John Oliver. You need to find
John Oliver and say where's place? And so I'm with
John absolutely and John Yeah. So I figured unless I
can be with camera on election, like, there's no point
in going. Because I saw somebody yesterday I can't remember
who it was, one of the New Zillan Report is
standing in Arizona, and I thought, well, what's what's the
point of standing in Arizona talking to three people, one
(09:04):
of whom talked voted Republican, one of whom voted Democrat,
one of whom voted Jill Stein. And that's news, That's
not news. You got to be well.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Also, the reason that you want to be with Carla
and not Trump is because Trump doesn't.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Let any Trump doesn't let the international media in.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
So you couldn't be with Trump anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Because we couldn't get in last time in New York.
So we went to Clinton's place. And I would have
preferred to go to Trump's place because it's down the
road from Mary Lago, And I'd far rather be in
Florida than I would be in Washington in a quad
in a university, if in fact that is where she is.
And then if I got to Washington and I went
down to the quad and they went, oh, sorry, Carmela's
(09:42):
in Delaware tonight, which is the other place they think
she might be. How pointless would it be me standing
in a quad on a Wednesday night for no reason.
Come on, you're a pro. You can make it work.
Of course I can make it work. But it's the.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yeah, no, I think we're getting to the roots of it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, yeah, one election versus.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
One Yeah, Liam, Sorry, Liam Lawson wins the US election.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Being at home with you on a Saturday night, Katie
holding your hand beats an election too, see how she laughs.
Nice to see you, guys. You have a good weekend,
no matter what you end up doing at Whoever's house
you were at.
