Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tim Wilson, good morning, Good morning, Kate Hawks. Well that's
a very poor connection we've got. Hopefully we'll do something
about that. Kate Hawk's be good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm surprised you didn't ask Glenn to play our big
discovery this week, the song that we discovered by Laurie.
In fact, he can surely play it by the end.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You can dig it up by the end of the show.
Laurie McKenna spelled Laurie McKenna, People get off, people get older, Glenn,
look out. It's absolutely brilliant. Let me give you the line,
time as a thief. Time is a thief, Pain is
a gift. The past is the past. It is what
(00:40):
it is.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
That's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's Laurie McKenna and.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Is wasted on the young, which is great.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Of course, nothing and you'll like this, Tim, You'll like this, Tim.
Nothing says love like a band of gold. It's Laurie McKennon.
And it beats, it beats, it beats sold Codex Tropical
Left Storm. I can tell you that. Oh my goodness.
You know you know why they stopped.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They didn't have their tour because no one wanted to
come right that's why they doing in the twenty twenties.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
How do I'm just wondering if when Sam gets your
morning coffee these days, maybe splosh some vodka or something
and it just takes the edge off. Because I was
listening to you with Ministers of the Crown this morning,
one after the other, falling like dominoes, and I thought
to myself, if you're depressed, I'm depressed. We're all depressed.
It's like I feel like we're stuck in a time warp,
like the bar has been dropped so low these days,
(01:34):
I feel like everyone's just pushing pens around their desks.
Nobody wants to act, nobody wants to make a decision.
You know, how do you move forward as the country
when everyone just wants to play it safe.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
He's a good question.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
It maybe just provide vodka for the listeners as well.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
At this point I got a podcast the answer.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I got an email overnight from a New Zealander who
does quite a lot of traveling and he emails me
periodically on his travels, and he's been in America in
various cities over the last week or so, and he
does the same thing time. She said, what he can't
believe having been in America this week is no one
he ran into, and he ran inty. He's been at
conferences and stuff, so he's running the many dozens of
not hundreds of people. And he also he rates uber drivers.
(02:10):
Uber drivers sit in the car twelve hours a day
and they listen to a million different conversations, so he
rates them as very you know, in touch people with
what's going on. He claims, in the last week or
slightly more than a week, not a single person he's
run into in America has mentioned Iran, bombs, Trump or
politics of any nature. They're too busy getting on with life.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, that's that's that's odd because I would expect America
to be more politicized than New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
For example, I reckon, I reckon. There's a trunk of
America that's politicized, and they're the same people who are
onto the one two seven thing. Erica Stanford whipping himself.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
You gave her, you gave the points for that. I
actually think she boxed around that interview. I think she
was a bit of an own goal because she ended
up admitting, you know, she started off by saying it's
absolute rubbish and ror, and then she ended up saying, oh, yes,
yes it is in there. It's just wait what No.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I gave her point? No, no, no, I gave her
points because of the four people we've had on this morning,
she was the best of a Losery bunch.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Towering of the bar, isn't it exactly?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I've got I've
got people on here this morning that could be uplifting us,
and every single one of them, in their own way,
has proved to be inadequate.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, Mike, So Mike's actually he's lying the bar to
encourage Erica to lift up. He's doing he's doing the
fatherly thing.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
What I want is people to be better.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, Paul Goldsmith, that was really disappointing. I was just
thinking when you start to say, well, we might be
two or three more years away, are you you know
that's you may not even have that luxury of being
around that long mate, Like pull your head exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I would see that as a person.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Can we have a review of reviews? Can we just
can we just pull us back? We'll get you know how,
We've got the regulatory standards principles can we have a
review Principles Bill that says yous have to be done
in two weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Why is this government doing so many reviews? That's that
was the last governments last.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And then that's that may well be while they're in
the trouble, they're in quick comment and I will I
will talk to you, Tim, because you've embarrassed yourself badly
this week. But that's for after the break. Quick quick
quick comment. I thought you were going to pull back
from this. This well happen people. Once people hear what's
going on, they will be on my side. But hold on,
(04:28):
just quick comed to you wouldn't mind Katie on? And
to win tour and a win to how big a
deal is this? Whin do you know? After all of
those years? What a wonderful woman? I love her. I
love her almost as much as love her I love
the Princess of Wales.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay so much because what what a story?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Leg forty Okay, so she's hard to work with, but
so am I. But forty years.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She's next level. I mean, at the heart of it,
you're actually a decent person.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I don't think she Yeah, you're you're just annoying. She's
malice exactly, she is the devil.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I was just watching pictures of Jeff Bezos and Venice
Oprah's there and ushes there. Do you think if you're
Geff Bezos, do you reckon? He knows all these people
are just invites, famous people.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
That's actually Lauren. His wife's a real socialite schmoozer with
these celebrities, so she'd know them all right.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Exactly how new is her face? It doesn't look real.
It's not well done, well spotted, well spotted to Unfortunately,
did she get it?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Did she get it from Timo?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Just doesn't seem to be working for her. That's the
thing I've always understood, which brings us, I guess to
a zimpec and we go v next week. The thing
I've never understood about people who get plastic surgery, especially
people with a lot of money, Why do you cock
it up?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Well? Why do you end up looking like someone who's
head plastic surgery?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Exactly what the point of plastic surgery was? You can't
really tell.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
The beast Cyans are a further ahead on this because
they're doing I think what they call Mike Crow micro
treatments or micro something whereby it's so subtle that you
really can't tell, whereas the Americans are still doing that
hardcore wow.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Dolly Parton is the best example your twenty Dolly Parton.
Dolly Partoner. If you look at Dolly Parton's face, although
she's I think one hundred and three or one hundred
and four by now, is a superb example of brilliant
plastic surgery. She looks fantastic, whereas if you look at Sanchiez,
she looks like she went to someone practiced on her.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
And Oline, I mean, Dolly, pardon amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So here's the thing, Katie and listeners. Tim is talking
to us injured and is sitting on ACC as we
speak this morning. Here's another one of the six million people,
at a cost of seven billion dollars to the taxpayer,
sitting on ACC this morning. And do you want me, Tim,
or do you want you to explain why you're on ACC?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well? I would like to pick up the well. I
think it's a frisbee you've thrown to me, but it's
dropped at my feet. I'll pick it up with my
left hand because my right wrist is broken. I want
a public health warning about magnolia seed pods because Darkness
plus gravity plus murderous magnolia seed pods equals disaster, particularly
(07:16):
if you're a clutch like me.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He stood well the other day when I saw you, you
said it was a pine cone. So you from a
pine cone to a magnolia seed bud.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I've upgraded it because there's there's there's a bit of
a there's a thing happening here, and I'm going to
be the poster child for magnolia seed pods.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You fell over in your own garden? Did you fall
over in your own garden?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I was on the side of the it was on
the foot path. So he's on the foot not looking walking,
falls over. Here's the deal, next stop.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Next do so I so, I'm I'm in there. I
go went to the hill for something else, going to
see Mike. I've got my cast on. And you would
understand this, Kate, just the tsunami of bile derision and.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Attacking the abuse would be firing up.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It was just like, well, have you done yourself? Have
you been running again? Were you on a scooter? You loser?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Wait a minute, are you on acc Who's paying for this?
Am I paying for this? And I'm just like I
just want to. I just want to feel safe.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
For the record, when acc they do the X number
of people fell off a latter twelve hundred people were
in construction, you know, six thousand people in forestry. How
many other people do you think fell over a seed pod?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Well, I've run into the data and inded ta waka Kotahi.
They do seven hundred pedestrian injuries a year. They don't
disaggregate for seed pods. I think the government it's going
after all the wrong things. They need to get these
statistics on the table so people can be safe.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Mike, seven hundred per year. That's two people per day
potentially falling over a seed pod.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Exactly. It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Is it the most embarrassing injury you've ever had?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
No coming off stood it must be worse.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
So what I'm gonna do is I've given up scooting,
running and walking. I'm in bed. I'm staying in bed.
I'm not gonna cost anyone any more damn money.
Speaker 1 (09:14):

Beast is fast.
