Less well known than the days that follow it is Maundy Thursday – the day in which Jesus Christ shared the Last Supper with his 12 apostles.
A theme of the day is humility, and Kevin Milne had a taste of that and a bit of humiliation both earlier on this week.

so agree with what you just said about.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
The real wonders of this world.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Jack fully agree, regarding Katie Berry in particular, my god,
what a ridiculous stunt, and Dean's flip me an email
to say Jack, Happy Easter, you me and the back
door All though that an automated rocket getting up to
the boundary of space with a collection of gas bagging
celebrity passengers is no more earth breaking these days than
crossing the road. Well, said Dean, you said what I
(00:40):
said in about five minutes. You said it in about
fifteen seconds, So thank you for that. If you want
to send me a message this morning, ninety two ninety
two is the text number Jacket Newstalk, said B. Dot
co dot nz is the email address Kevin Milne as
well as for the Easter weekend this morning kill to Kevin.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Jack, I totally agree with you what you've said this morning,
very well put. Actually, I think the odd thing about
the colossal squid is its name. I think in a way,
I don't think the colossal squid is colossal. It's large,
but it's not colossal Colossal squid exhibition it to Papa.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, and we still have it there, don't Yeah, Yeah,
I think it's still Yeah, I think that's Papa.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's fantastic that that exhibition.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
But yeah, I mean it's still so what I mean,
so they can go to about seventeen meters I think,
but I suppose that they're not.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah, yeah, that that's a good size. I must say
maybe the one that was that to Papa was a
bit on the smallest side. But remember feeling a great
sense of disappointment actually when I saw it it was
not colossal, but yeah, but it was terrific. And that
I don't say that in any way to disagree with
the points you've made.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think I think the thing about the squid is
it sort of needs to be in the ocean for
you to appreciate its full size. Like even when you
see the Tapapa one, which I think is I just love.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That exhibition, how they've kind of preserved it.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But if you if it's just if it's it's like
it's been deflated, and you know, when a squid is
actually swimming, how the water kind of fills its whole
anatomy in space, and so you kind of, you know,
it's almost like an inflated balloon.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
And I the sense that.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I get with the with the with the one at Tapapa.
And usually when you see colossal squid, you know, when
they occasionally wash up on beaches or they find them,
you know, in Wales bellies and that kind of thing,
usually they're deflated, so you don't get a full sense
of the kind of scale. But they need to be
in their natural environment to get that scale, I think.
And interestingly, actually the one they filmed and I conveniently
(02:39):
didn't mention this, but it was only thirty centimeters, so
it was a juvenile So it was you know, you're
sort of saying, this colossal squid, and then you scroll
down two paragraphs on the on the scientific reportings, is
this colossal squid at thirty centimeters And I think, well,
you know it's yeah, the name he is not ideal.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Other but my gosh, have you seen the pictures.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, no I haven't.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh they're beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's so alien, that's the thing, especially especially in its
natural environment where it's so there's no kind of natural
light or anything at six hundred meters, it's just perfect black,
and you know they have just kind of lights at
that depth. So yeah, it's absolutely amazing. If you get
a chance, we'll make sure. Actually we put a photo
up on the news talks he'db website. But Kevin, you
have you've got into the spirit of Easter. In fact,
you got into it early this year, as way back
(03:23):
as Thursday.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, earlier in the week I was wondering what eastery
topic to talk about today, and on Thursday it just
fell into place. Literally. Last Thursday, of course, was Maundy Thursday,
or as the Christian Church calls it, Holy Thursday, The
day commemorates the Last Supper, when Jesus Christ shared bread
(03:45):
and wine with his apostles prior to his crucifixion. On
that occasion, Christ washed the feet of his apostles and
a demonstration of humility, you're never too flashed to do
the dirty work basically, so the theme of Maundy Thursday
remains humility. And it was in that spirit that on
(04:06):
Thursday Day I took a tumble outside the busy entrance
way to my local New World supermarket. It was not
a down on your knees and up again quick kind
of tumble. Now I took a full length dive on
the concrete. My newest trainers had gripped onto the concrete
I was dashing towards the supermarket. I went down as
(04:27):
if someone invisible had tackled me, which must have looked
pretty silly. A man came to the rescue, which elected
some assistance to get up. In the past, my pride
would have answered for me, no, I'm fine, thanks, but
I since there was nothing nearby to haul myself up on,
so I said yes please. I might still actually have
been there trying to get up if the man hadn't
(04:48):
given me the hand. Nothing was hurt, but my pride jack.
As you'd know, if you're a reasonably well known character
and you make a chump of yourself, you wrongly feel
the whole world's watching and whispering. I always thought that
bloke was a bit of a goof way. That was
my Maundy Thursday moment of humility, admittedly not by choice.
(05:12):
On reflection, I think I'd rather watch somebody's feet, or
better still, hand out specially minted coins as the King
did on Maundy Thursday.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, it's almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
There's no good reaction after you've fallen over it, especially
if you're not There's no way that you can kind
of recover your sense of dignity fully, is it?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
For everyone who's watched.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It doesn't matter if you're a recognizable figure or otherwise.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It just there's no sort.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Of the human you know, the human spirit hasn't found
a way to recover from that moment. I don't know
if you saw it, Kevin, but with that space rocket
that they sent up with the pop stars and things
the other day, when it came back down to earth,
Jeff Bezos, given it was his company, he was the
first to go and greet the passengers after their eleven
(06:01):
minute journey. So the rocket came back down to Earth
and he ran over in the middle of the desert
to go and open the capsule door. And as he
arrived there, knowing that his fiance was the first person
who was going to be stepping out and presumably thanking
and congratulating him for this amazing bit of technology and
this incredible experience.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
As he ran over to the capsule.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
As he pulled up to it, he did a massive
face plant, just fell over right east to the capture.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And of course you got the whole world's media watching.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
You know, and maybe that's what gave Katie Perry the idea. Yes, yes,
fell to the ground because.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
She was trying to empathize with him.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Perhaps, Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, you enjoy your enjoy your Easter weekend, and we
will catch you so. And I'm glad that you've managed
to recover from your tumble. What is it, Maundy Thursday?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, very good, Kevin, catch you so, ninety ninety two
of you on flick.
