happily and you retain family harmony. You take all of
the stuff in your house, you put it in the
front yard, You go down to the gas station, you
buy a gallon of petrol, you buy box of matches,
You burn it, and then you go somewhere else. Don't
you want to.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Leave it on the footpath for people to take? In
my experience, you if you leave half decent stuff, and
sometimes not even half day and stuff on the foot.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Path, half decent it will be gone by the next dome.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Where are you at eight twenty three, Mike Well sipping
your Kema mile t.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'll yeah, I'll be refilling my lemon water and ready
to come back with something scintillating post the airbreak. By
the way, here's here's your opening question, Cadie. Proper crisps
which we have had in the house. Correct, Yes, Now
here's the story. They're closing the side didn't know the
history of this, but proper crisps were invented in guess
(03:05):
when tell me when what year was proper crisps invented
and in what New Zealand town. Oh, no idea, I'm
going to try Nelson well done, well on Nelson's good
very okay, Nelson's good nineteen ninety three wrong, So two
thousand and seven in nelson term very good. And that
(03:25):
was of course by Stuart and Catherine who were immigrants
at the time, and they I don't know if they
had a Golden visa, but they came to the country
and they opened Proper Crisps. Now, they were bought in
twenty eleven by Mina Wilkie Smith and ned but then Griffin's,
Nasty old Griffins came along in twenty seventeen and they
bought a fifty percent steak and then of course by
(03:48):
twenty twenty three they got the lot. Now, what's what's
catherine question? Next question, what's happening to proper Crisps.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
They've gone down the drain since Griffin's brought them. I
don't know they've.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Gone No, that's not bad, Mike, I mean they're closing
down the Nelson operation. But she said they've gone down
the drain since Griffin's brought them. And do you know
it's true?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, we've had proper crisps. We've had proper crisps in
our house. We like them, don't we?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't know, I don't. I don't really like ships.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Can I take you? Can we talk about what nots
cheap out on?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No, because.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Get to your point. Get your point.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
My main point is this. If you close down your
factory of proper crisps in Nelson and you move the
production of proper crisps to your major facility in Auckland
where all your chips are made, clue where all your
chips are made. Are they still proper crisps or are
they just coming out of a big batch of ordinary
(04:53):
regular crisps and there's no difference to them.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Is that the sort of pressing radio that I've missed
this morning? I love it it not, I haven't missed it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
School holidays, Tim, yep, you're away? Are you at the
airport now?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
No, no, we did, we did the school holidays. Actually, actually, Otto,
can you say hello to everyone?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Say hello?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
There we go Outos just said Olos just got out
of bed. We did the school, We did the school,
we did the school holidays when we did the crows.
But we are we are going up the pinnacles on
Monday and Tuesday. So seven hundred and fifty nine meters
above sea level. That's what we're up to.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
And one go at pace, yep, one go up to
the top.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Sleep the night, come down you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And sleep at the top in what Yeah, of course,
a tent.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
There's a hut. There's a hut there.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Have you ever done it before?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Doc? Hut?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Did it last year?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
What do you pay for it?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Don't you remember? Don't you listen to the show? No,
we were talking about it.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Were you? Were you at the pinnacles at the time,
sleeping in your heart?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It was it October last year. I was I No,
I was out of not during.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
The I wasn't doing the school holidays.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
It's funny, quickly I was just saying to turn off ear.
It's funny how quickly you get out of sync with
school holiday. I didn't even know that. Our whole entire
life used to be governed.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Revolve around school holidays.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, the whole world revolved around them. And now I
didn't even know that it was school.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, quickly, what we know is that university holidays without
question more voluminous than school holidays.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
There's more of them.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And how it is you get charged anywhere between eight
and sixteen thousand dollars a year to turn up to
university to attend probably somewhere between three and a half
and four weeks a year, is little short of a scandal,
isn't this It's a.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Bit more than that. But yeah, they do bounce back
a lot at Uni. It's a funny old thing how
your life is chapters of your life.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
That there are seasons, Yeah, exactly, absolute seasons. And actually,
actually I was gonna because you were talking about the
peaches just before eight o'clock. You would have known that.
It's like, you know, do we really bother about where
peaches are made when we buy the peaches? No, we don't.
But here's my advice. Don't cheap out on nappies. Nappies.
You cheap out on nappies. You paid the price at
midnight like I did the night before last. Are their
(07:18):
qualities and nappies is bad ones. Okay, so you go
for your Huggies. Steer cleary of Rascals. Otto was in Rascals,
has been in Rascals. Woke up at midnight because the
Rascals leaked, so Otto wakes up. That wakes up Wolfe,
who's got a cough who starts coughing. Wolfy coughing wakes
(07:38):
up Felix, who's in the same room, who starts saying,
I don't want to be in the same room because
Wolf's Wolfe's coughing. So we get Otto into the new nappies.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I give.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Wolfe some cough mixture. I put Felix in the lounge
with a sleeping bag, and then Wolfy coughs again and spews,
and we're back to square one.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, in the trench, this is such a punishing time
of life.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Honestly, he took me down for a moment. The only
thing I'd say is a mixture doesn't work. And I
think we all know that now, don't we.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Well, I think I've learned that lesson, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
We're back for part two of Charlie Sheen Caddy. Do
you what do you think?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Oh? Yeah, what I like about this docco and this
Charlie Sheen doco? Is it super raw and honest? And
you very rarely get that nice suspect. We won't get
it with Victoria Beckhams, which of course I will also watch.
But you know that looks like a curated very Meagan
markled the view of who I am and what I'm about,
which will all be polished in fairy tales. What you're
getting with Charlie Sheen is this really raw, horrific? You know,
(08:39):
he's just nothing's left unsaid, and I appreciate that he's
been so honest.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Do you learn anything about it? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, what?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I mean you sort of knew at the time of
the headlines how bad things were for him.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
But it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I always find it interesting to find out the minutii
behind the headline, and the headline is only ever the
just the tip of the ice, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
The madness. It's a weird life. It's an unusual life
international spot. By the way, the peatures thing you raise
is very good tim because there's been the suggestion of
dumping Chinese dumping or peaches into our market, which is
of course illegal. Hence Watties all of a sudden go well,
hold on, if this is going to go on, what
are we supposed to do with local peaches. They went
to the government. The government, as far as I can
(09:21):
work out, did nothing about it. How do you do
business in the country when it's dumping?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Hey, just quickly, because I know you're wrapping us up,
but I'm miss Nikola. Did she give us any assurances
that we aren't going to be crawling out of the
economic toilet anytime soon? Just briefly, I have you got
any good positive news for me this morning?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, it was on the radio just after you say no.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I thought she gave I thought she was fairly solid.
I thought John Key was good.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
I think John Key is good because he was the
leader at a time when we all had a good life.
And when you go back to that is all you
need to hear is a voice. And he could come
on the show and go, you remember when I was
running the country, and you.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Go, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That was cool, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I don't think everybody would say that.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
But probably I can compare to now most people would.
I don't think there's many people. Don't think there's many
people saying there.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I'll tell you what i'd say right now. It's fantastic
to answer your question. She was pretty solid key yes,
and a I'm not I'm not one for turning, and
it is coming right and the fundamentals are there and
just hold tight and the green shoots are right and
blah blah, and she gave she gave the Reserve bankers serve, which.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Is and she sort of she followed what she followed
what John Key c which is like hold the course'll
it'll turn around exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
You've got time. Next appointments in about thirty seconds, so
you've got to run. But and will you be at
the pinnacles next week, Tim.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, No, I'll be back from the pinnacle, so I'll
be waiting. Well for more from the Mic Asking Breakfast,
