Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time to Welcome to the program. Timothy Wilson and Coln
hawks me. Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Good morning. Can I just apologize if there's any banging, crashing,
drilling in the background behind me. First of all, what
you need to know, Tim is, Mike is and kavoots
with our tech guy and they are constantly scheming behind
my back on how to upgrade everything in the house
and get bigger, better, faster tech. And Mike is the
most briefed person around TICH.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
So he's not a tech guy. What's going How can
we scheme over tech?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
He's like, he's the most analogue dude you could possibly
imagine exactly.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
But he likes big TVs. And so we've already done this.
And now in another room we've got an eighty five
and it's so big. I had no idea how big
eighty five inches was until the two career guys who
tried to carry it in were complaining they could barely
carry it.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And next since they said to.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Me, next time, order a smaller TV, and I thought,
And then the guys have turned up this morning to
put in that been here since seven thirty big hot
Mike's It'll be a non event. It'll be two minutes
to be non event.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Break.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I got the lounges like Demode. The bracket is coming off.
Everything come out, and you know what Mike's doing. He's
walking up to the country and who's dealing with it?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
All the you are? You are as usual.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So he can sit back and watch bouring crap like
Parliament TV on.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Question Time on eighty five inches. All right, okay, there
is the prosecution.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What's the defense.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I don't actually have one, to be honest, it sounds
it sounds, it sounds salty. The disturbing part is there
a new arm required out of the wall?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, because it's a Samsung frame. They sit flush to
the wall. And that was the bit we forgot about.
And you were like, oh, be nothing, because they'll just
stick it on that big bracket. But no, that bracket's
got to come out. And then somehow we've got to
do something with the skybox. And so this is now a.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Quandary message from Jason the Boss. Can you tell Paul
we need a white skybox, not the black one. If
we've still got a black one, we need the white
one because the white one's got the four k.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh really gosh, I better tell them that.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You tell Paul.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Okay, sorry, you guys just started speaking in another language.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
But that's interesting.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So talk to me about the how much was salmon?
This week? You told me Katie how much is salmon?
Because they've got salmon problems.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I don't know why you're worried about the price of salmon.
Have you seen the price you've got?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Actually, no, I've been I've been looking into this to
help you, and I've seen I've seen a joint that
can do it.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
For the first question, what do you like at fillioting? Mike?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh no, no, no, it's got to be. You've been
filoting the banks, cutting off, you've been filliting the banks,
the pollyes.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
You can do it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
No, I'm not just listening. So you're just saying you're
going to sell me like a whole fish.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but but you won't believe the price.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, tell me how much is the fisher?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Twenty two bucks?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That's pretty good. Actually, twenty two dollars, that's pretty good.
Here's what I know I've learned about this. This is markup.
You raise a very interesting point. So if you can
sell me a fish for twenty two dollars by the
time it gets smoked in a in a bit of
plastic at ninety dollars. Someone's doing something, aren't they. Someone's
clipping that ticket. I was talking to Carl, my coffee guy,
and so you get your beans at theater?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Sorry, is this your bean bloke? You've been getting your
beans from Carl. Yeah, let's just pause on that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Carl, the coffee bloke. Now he was round because Mike
was upgrading coffee machines, and so he was here yesterday
doing this.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Okay, it's like you live with a three year old.
We live with an actual three year old, but you've.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Got sex unlovable. But the point he loved was good.
This was the point he made. He said, you see
a lot of craft brewers going bust, but you don't
see any coffee roasters going bust. And I thought, actually, Ago,
I think Carl true that Carl, And I said, Carl
true there, So I think he's on to something. Anyway,
where will we Well, so what do you want me
(03:49):
to say, Katie? You want me to come home? Is
that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I want you. No, I don't want you to come
home because you'll freak out. I want you to stay
away for as long as possible, But don't underestimate how
long it's going to take, because you and your whole
you'll be five minutes. It up to the country behind me.
I can begive for hours. So you just go and
enjoy yourself. Get some snooker under your belt.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Where are you going?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah? Get some Have some coffee beans, you know, roast another?
What roast another five? Five grams or so?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I need to talk to Shall we just a quick question?
Shall we pay? Are you excited about the Dog Show?
Just quickly? Tim coming back on television next year?
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Did you?
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Of course? Of course everyone watched the Dog Show. I
don't know if it's a movie. Though. Here's the deal.
I'm not sure it's a movie.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
No, it's not a movie. But I'm not talking about
the movie. I'm talking about the dog Show. The Rural
Games coming back on television next year. It will be
like country Calendar. They will show part of the games.
One of the highlights of the Rural Game is going
to be a dog show, so dogs will round up sheet.
Would you watch that now or is that just a
memory thing?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Totally?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Some some some bloke holding an extinguished rollie going.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Get him behind Mongrel? Could you brilliant?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Would you confidently say you could put your kids in
front of that television now and go, hit kids, this
is what I did when I was young. Have a
look at this and see what you think and they'd go, Wow,
that's cool. Or would they just go what the hell
are you looking at?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Dead?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I think I think I'd have to work on the
offering a bit.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I might have to do a bit of piloting.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, I think so. Now, Simon Dello, should we pay
tribute to Simon Dello after the break or not?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, let's do that now. We should because you, like.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You, Cadie, to set this up, you worked with Simon?
Am I correct in saying that?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah? I did?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Have you got some really cool gossip for us?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
No, I don't really have a fun anecdote for you
or some good gossip, because Simon is a very contained human.
He's professional, and he is very much workers work, and
his life is outside of work.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
What about you, Timm, You've got some dirt, oh anecdote?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He does. No, it's not it's not there.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
You should have said you had a little bit of
a little bit of thought and it's gone moment's gone.
Played first fifteen rugby with Simon Dello in eighty one,
played number eight, known for a spiral goal kicking quite
the skill. Never seen him since. I think we knew that,
didn't we. I think we knew he was a rugby player.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
He's one of us people that are really good at everything.
He's a really he's very competent guy.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
And he's a he's a thoughtful guy too, Like I mean,
just in terms of he he he's someone who actually
understood the weight of the you know, the role he
was fulfilling, which is sort of you know, the guy
who passed the news on. It's sort of interesting in
the sense that he has got his departure was the
end of an era. It's a bit like, you know, Mike,
(06:37):
you're you're talking about the dog Show, where everyone watched
the dog show. Everyone used to watch the six pm news,
and now we're increasing our public square. You know, you
could talk about it the next day, but now our
sort of public shared square.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It's completely fragmented that it was.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
One hundred per century. Just to explain to everyone in
case and no one knows what the hell we're talking about,
and they're not up with it. Simon is reading his
last bulletin to night. He as far as I know,
he's retiring and going to wander off into the world
and do some travel and stuff, which is I'm in
a way kind of envious of. But you now, you, Katie,
you work with them? Was it on TV two?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
No? TV one?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Didn't you do the TV two thing? Who did the
TV two thing?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
For a while?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
There was news headlines or news at night or something
weird like that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I did a bit of TV two briefly, But there
was a Carl.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Ste just like you just denied working on TV two
and you just said, no, I did work on TV two.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It was just a brief thing. No that was that
was a different thing. And then we went back to
TV one.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
But see Carl Stephanovick. Now there's a name people are
going to go hold on. See Carl Stefanovic is like
a major name in Australian television these days. Did you
set it on the great things back in TV two
when you work for TV two?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It was funny because he was on a trajectory, so
he came here and he was part of that whole
Australians who come into a stunt to New Zealand sort
of like, you know, go do some time and get
some roles fronting, and then when you go back it's
you know, it's sort of it speeds up their trajector
when they go back to Australia. So he was doing that,
so he was always on a pathway to great things.
(08:04):
So he was here just to kind of get some
runs on them well, but he was also a really
cool guy. But what I love about Simon and Tim
is so right. It is the end of an era.
He's old school. He's that old school professional who you know,
really thought about the job. And he was always an
incredibly gracious co host, you know, which is really I
think anyone who's worked in tandem with anyone else appreciates
when the cohurst you're working with is generous and gracious
(08:25):
and thoughtful. That's really key, and that's often something the
viewers may not be aware of. But it's nice to
sit on a set with someone who is so you know,
just professional and polite and lovely and gracious.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, I think you said it better than I was
going to Tim. And that and that is that news readers,
he's the last of them see without standing on anyone's
feet and insulting anybody who still does the job. I
think he's the last of the proper ones these days. Sadly,
it would appear that you wanted down a corridor and go, oh,
you're here today, are you?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
You can read the bulletin tonight. That's got that vibe
about it, And I think he's the last of them.
I'm a bit sad about that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
And here's the thing, because it's a very much an
institutionalized thing when you get locked into TVs in for
too long and getting out of it and said him.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Free, said him free. The thing that it's the subliminal.
And I'll say this about him, You never doubt he
knows what he's talking about. And there's many a newsreader
you go you clearly have no idea what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
We're just reading, you're just reading shapes on the teleprompt.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
He's a really, really really bright guy. He is smart,
super super smart.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
And to his credit, I mean, we didn't ask him
to come on the program, but now having said all
this nice stuff about him, I feel like we should have.
But the thing is that he probably would have said nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
He would have know he doesn't like talking about himself. No,
he's actually very self contained.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yes, that's for here and you difference.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
No one knows about how big is TV screen and
how the place is being destroyed to install them.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
To be fair, you are also actually quite like Simon,
and that you are also an introvert and you don't
caught a lot of external publicity at all. Perfect you
hate us.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
And it's one of the great secrets of modern broadcasting. Actually,
most people are introbutes that are in the public eye.
It's it's not a widely known fact. How long should
I wait for you, Katie to come up to the
country And when do I call somebody in an emergency
situation if things have gone horribly wrong?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
No, it will be good. Can you hear the drilling
or is that just me? I've shut a door so
that you can't hear, but there is drilling going on.
I'm confident I'll get up today. I just don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So you just carry on, maybe take take yourself off
to Black Friday. I've got a deal for you.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
