Kendrick Lamar those genes I mentioned earlier on in the week.
They're women's jeans. They're women's literal mum jeans, literal mum jeans.
Tim's Withers along with Katie, Good morning to both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Those jeans went off. Everybody was trying to buy them.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Apparently they're sold out. You can't buy them. They're saline jeans.
They're a flared surfed jeene in summer dazed wash.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You sound like you're reading music per.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And they are twelve hundred US a peer.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, it's cheaper than a very Humphrey's painting.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
As it turns out, how much could I have spent before?
You would have literally and I don't mean, oh you're
an idiot. Yeah, that usual stuff we go through, But
like before I would have been in real trouble.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, I was just telling Sam, I'm actually so relieved
this morning. I don't want to sound like a mean wife,
and I want you to be happy. But if you
had purchased that, but because we lived together, that very
humphrey is whatever you have is staring back at me
on our household walls. And that was quite a terrifying
concept for me, But I'm just so glad that he's
so popular that other people have snapped it up, so
(01:06):
you don't have to don't.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Doesn't I was on far to me? I was onto something,
wasn't I. I mean, you cannot look at what's happened this
morning at that auction and not say because a lot
of people went on very happy to take it. You
cannot look at that auction this morning and go that
guy hasn't got a global following of some note.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's true, you're onto, You're onto something, but you totally
misread the rooms in terms of what people were going to.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Pay, and you put Sam under the pressure read for
you while you.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Were on there's a radio show show you're putting out
it out.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's not my fault that I'm on air while they're
trying to sell something that I want. I mean, it's
not my fault that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I have to go to work this out to produce
the show.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Is just sit online trying to bid at an auction
for you.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Actually, this is this is this is a workplace safety issue.
I think, get me mogulation.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
It gets worse. I was bidding under Jason's name because
the boss of the radio station he actually got me
logged on to Christie's because I couldn't log myself on,
so he said he'd do it, so his address his name,
And as it turns out, his credit rating was run
(02:25):
by Christie's because they've kind to run a credit rating
before you are.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Allowed to bid, and his credit ratings in the toilet
because you've persuaded him to buy a house that he
couldn't afford. So thank you very much, Mike host Game.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well that was the problem. But he's still got room
to move because I tell you what happened this week
is Paul went cloudy, and so I talked to him
into going into automation because paul system is not automated,
and I said, you've got to go automation. So he's
going automation. But the good thing is I know he's
got room to move because Christie's ran his credit check
and he gave him fifty thousand pounds credit limit, so
he's got one hundred thousand to move with. So he's
(02:59):
got a new house. He's going to have an automated poll.
He's still got one hundred thousand dollars to spend A bit.
I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't believe that story.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Is it a true story?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
See?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
That story is so outrageous. No one believes it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Of your stories aren't true. And you say the morning
with so much gumption and.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
With such conviction.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, And then I hear about it later in the day.
They go Mike was saying, I go, No, he made
that up. It's just so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
That hand on my heart, that story is actually true.
I was bidding under Jason and Sam was okay.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So but Kate, Kate like tells when he goes hand
on my heart? Has that actually is that a geigecounter? Like,
you know, start to sniff a bit of inaccuracy here, No,
that's probably legit.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Tell them, Katie, tell them about the Valentine experience this morning.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh that was very sweet.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, that was very sweet. I came through to the
kitchen this morning. Yeah, a lovely card and a beautiful
gift waiting for me wrapped on the bench. And that
was very sweet. I was not.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
What made it good toim was she won on the
card front. So I got my card too this morning.
Whose was a better card? It was a vastly superior
handcrafted card. Mine was nice, but.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It wasn't I didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
No, no, not handcrafted. But it's three dimensional. It's got
stuff stuck on it. Oh yeah, yes, yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
My words, Oh my words run match, but no one
beats me for words.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, you wrote beautiful words. So did you just do
that for content?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Very much. Basically. Later, that's how I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I'll tell you what. Why don't we wait till after
the break, I'll tell you about our Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Is it still going? Is it unfolding as we speak?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
It's it's it's a circus, but it's absolute.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Just before your story, Tim, do you want to wish
Sam a happy birthday? Kadie?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh, I didn't know Sam's birthday.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Happy birthday, Happy birthday Sam.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
He's fourteen today. It's fantastic, and.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
All his friends he's not fourteen.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Fifteen one of the others.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Actually, he's actually blessed with such youthful looks.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
And that was well because I was.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I was shocked at how old he was when he
told me, because I too, I thought he was like
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I think all we're hearing from Mike is the unpleasant
sound of envy.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How do you know it's his.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Youthful figure, the vitality.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What's gone wrong to him?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, so here's the deal. Our Valentine's Day started last night.
We had had a big thing. I had worked th
last night. You were Jason or Rachel.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Because he had a big work last night. Were you
with Jason? He had a big work thing.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
List, No, it wasn't. This was this was graduation of
maximum in terns. So we had a big thing, like
sixty people, sixty people on site, et cetera. And I
get a text from Rachel going, oh, I was just
going out the door. Rachel was going to join me,
and she goes, I was just going out the door,
but I think Otto's either sprained his ankle or broken
his legs. So she goes straight to White Cross with Otto.
(06:00):
So Otto, by the way two and a half right,
he was on the trampoline and they heard a crack
and he started crying.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, exactly exactly. So he's sort of getting text updates,
et cetera, et cetera. Finally the text comes through. Otto's
broken his leg and so I had to bail just
like see you guys later. Come home. And then we're
like putting this poor. He's got a cast on one leg.
And no, no, he won't, he won't. He got to
(06:34):
choose the type of the type of car. So it's
like one withee pawprints on it. Yeah, I'll choose that one.
But it's it's as rough as sandpaper, so we have
to wrap something around it. But anyway, don't get me started.
So we put we put to bed then, and then
we're sort of sitting there in a daze. And then
I turned to Rachel on the couch and I say,
I'm sorry I didn't get you a card because of Valentine,
(06:55):
because Valentine's Day tomorrow. She turns to me and goes,
neither did I. But that's what love looks. But that's
what love looks like at the stage.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I don't know if you're disorganized, because you could have
brought it on Monday when I did.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Oh, you could have brought it on Monday.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I say, pies at the tuch shop. You had a pie.
See here's this one. I can't understand why we're all
exercised about the pies today because every single one of
us who went to a school with a touch shop.
When we lined up for the touch shop brought what
we bought a Boston bun and a pie and or
chips and or a K bar and or coke.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Well your generation did, because they sort of started banning
that not long after you, after school started banning that
stuff and you couldn't get it. But to the guy
running the school lunch program as to what the hold
up is worth distributing it and getting it around, have
you driven through Auckland at any point during a week
and try to get anywhere? I reckon? He needs to
(08:01):
lay that at Simon Brown's door and say, hey, the cones,
the bus lanes, the but just fix up the roads
and then maybe deliveries will get you know where they're
supposed to get to.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Couldn't agree more. Couldn't agree more. You're old enough for
the pies.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
To him, absolutely absolutely, it's pies, pies or fish and chips.
You know when you used to get fish and chips
at school? All again it's you know, I reckon this,
this whole thing. It feels like sort of like the
charter school debate in disguise, where people who don't like
(08:33):
the change in the schooling arrangements are trying to sort
of delegitimize David Seymour through the lunch program. Mm hmm,
it's exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's a pilon, It's it's basic union based.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah. If Seymour hadn't been involved in it, anything that
touches him or has god his name attached, you can
guarantee the media is coming full throttle for it, and
they're not going to let it go. You know, They're
just going to And the problem with the media doing
that is everybody gets sick of it. It's just like, okay,
we're now over it.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's so ten years And because Michelle Obama is it broken?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
No, it was just like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, she was getting so worked out. Michelle Obama had
a school lunch program in the States, and kids didn't
used to eat that either. And I actually we know
people who had kids that went to a school that
got the old program. Kids didn't used to eat that either.
There was a thriving black market in Dorito's, Twiste's and chippies.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Good on you. How are you close to it? Like
a BP or something like that, like a shell Celtics.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Got one up the road.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
What do you mean when you know?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Not me?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Just sip down and buy us something nice? For Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I've actually, actually, I'll have you know, I booked the
restaurant on Monday.

year old and a six year old looking after a
