Now straight back to him to aunt him and said, well,
great news.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Chapel Rowan has released.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
So she was not that of the So the weird
competition on how much Morgan Roland versus how much Chapel
Roone gets played over Easter.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But we'll have fun win.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
Well, it's gonna win.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
We'll have fun doing tim quick quick checking with you, please,
because you were looking to hire our children for some
domestic duties at your place that we couldn't supply you with.
Unfortunately this holiday season, how have the school breaks gone?

Speaker 6 (02:48):
Well, we actually we were up at mathieson Matheson Bay
just in the first week and fantastic the boys actually
built it. Damn damned the a bit of a stream there.
They damned the stream. Good for a couple of days
up early. How's the dam? What's doing with the dam?
Breaking each other's dams, getting in fights, sorting it out?

(03:10):
And then of course the weather came and you just
cannot stop a tsunami.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Water are they generating? Are they generating power out of
the dam yet?

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Yeah, probably a bit more than that solar guy you
had on before eight. But that's you know, we can
get into the numbers those.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Things for when he sees thousands, tens of thousands of
panels day, worry your kadie, I mean, because I'm thinking
of turning our property into a solar farm.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Well, so you keep saying, but I just I can't
get past how ugly that. I mean, you've got to
have somewhere you can put them that you really don't
see them. And I think the ones on the roof
and stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
That they're not in your eyeline and.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
A lot of the means will Gucci turned their attention
to a solar panel, Would you be happy with that?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
No, it's the hot it's not. It's just it's not
the design per se.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
It's just the concept.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
Why I don't all those panels And look, I think
I think you've got the business model wrong here because
you produce a lot of hot Yeah, I see you
more as a wind farm person.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Very good. Now, let us attend to this morning's major issue,
and the major issue this morning is Sammy. Sammy is
our junior research assistant. Sammy, Like, as far as I
can work out, literally everybody else is going on holiday right.

Speaker 6 (04:20):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
He's going on holiday for next week to for the
three days in between the easter and the intact. He's
flying China Eastern. Now he's flying China Eastern. Is going Well,
he's going to Australia. Of course that's where China Eastern.
That's where China Eastern goes. I'm not China Eastern, just
China air Lines. I was not even China Eastern. It's China.
So he's flying the full blowing China Airlines. So he's

(04:43):
flying China Airlines to Australia.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Do that once and then probably never again.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, this's the interesting thing. How much do you think
this is the pop quartz first part of the story
this morning, Katie for you, how much do you think
he saves on a ticket to Australia in economy from
in New Zealand by flying China Islands.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Well, in New Zealand as a rart, it's through the
roof money, so he's probably saving quite a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Din you sound you sound like the Department of the
ACC not answering the question I need it, I need a.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Number please, I'd say three hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Three hundred dollars. What would your guest timb.

Speaker 7 (05:18):
Oh, that that'll be. That'll be around what I was thinking.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Okay, so you're both thinking three hundred dollars. So by
flying China you can say three hundred dollars on an
economy ticket as opposed to flying in New Zealand in
the school holidays is between ten ticket a return ticket
all come to Brisbane and back.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Wouldn't be surprised for us one way?

Speaker 7 (05:36):
I mean, why would yeah, no, d you end up
in Shanghai? Actually it was very good.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Indeed, we will have the answer after the break thirteen
past eight US talks. There'll be sixteen past eight.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
For a week in review with two degrees bringing smart
business solutions to the table.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm screaming at a TV there ain't got it only
anti presents in loun.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
How good TV that ain't gotting? Is an antis.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
The world?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
This is great, isn't it? Isn't it?

Speaker 7 (06:17):
Yeah? This is this is this is this is plunging
the depths of the time.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Shouldn't agree more with you? Tim? I think i'd like
to smed Easter with you, Well, where's Kaddie gone?

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Come on out's where's Caty?

Speaker 2 (06:32):
She's gone. Katie's gone. She's listening to Chapel Andrew herself.
It's the old fact chip syndrome. Unbelievable, Katie steady, Well,
it normally happens with Andrew because of his weight problem.
He mutes himself with anyway, So China Airlines and you

(06:55):
say three hundred dollars, The answer is are you? I
want Katie here because I want her to I want
her to say she's there, but we can't hear it reconnected,
for God's sake, don't. Sammy's throwing Sammy's throwing his arms
up in the air through the double glazing. He's throwing
his arms up in there, Sammy, I must introduce is
our research assistant to a junior nature anyway, So anyway,
clearly Katie is not coming back on the program, which

(07:16):
she is technically incompetent anyway, seven one hundred and seventy
dollars saving saving whoa exactly what I said?

Speaker 6 (07:28):
What that's incredible, that's exactly right. And a question though,
why did he? Is there any inside story as to
why I booked this break. Did someone, for example, decide
to take a break then reneg and started with.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
That's want to be true and obviously you've been fed
this information just to just to ridicule my reputation yet
again around this building, I cancel my holidays. I said this,
leaving and leaving work after a couple of months being
back on wh why don't we just ring Katie wring
her up on the telephone and get her back on?
Do I have to do everything around here? It's like
it's like dealing with a government department. Anyway, So sorry,

(08:06):
I felt that. Coming back from holiday, I thought, this
is ridiculous. Why are we all going on holiday two
months into the year. We're not worn out, we haven't
done anything for goodness sake, So I cancel my holiday. Sammy,
thinking that I was going on holiday, went, oh, well,
I'm not hanging around here. I'm out. So's he's gone?
So anyway, so he's GoF on China Eastern Airlines and
do we have her on the How is this so

(08:27):
impossibly hard? Anyway? Next problem, tim Sammy goes and books
himself on China air Lines with no bag.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
Oh wait, but how long's he go he's going for
a weekend, right.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Or he's going for next week. Yeah, he's going for
next week. So what do you do?

Speaker 6 (08:44):
Oh my goodness, you know what Roman did that? Mathison
Bay We get up there, it's like I packed one
pair of undies.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well Sam's only got room for one pair of bundies
because he hasn't packed a bag. O care you welcome back?

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (08:58):
For goodness, oh there you go.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's like it's like we just invented radio yesterday and
we've just got a few technical issues. All we needed
a transmitter and we're in business. But you think we're
literally trying to create nuclear fusion here. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (09:20):
Oh she's gone, She's gone again?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Katie?

Speaker 7 (09:22):
Can we he's is?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Do you just why don't you just been the rest
of the segment, Katie going hello.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
My granddaddy.

Speaker 7 (09:36):
Can't get on the radio. You to be heard?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Now?

Speaker 2 (09:40):
All you're doing is on the phone going can you
hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Well, it's so frustrating. I can hear you, and no
one can hear me. I don't know what's going on,
but anyway, carry on.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
What next problem?

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Katie? You just officially became a boomer.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Congratulation was actually the answer, Katy was seven hundred and
seventy dollars as the savings that Sammy made.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
O way, Well, that's well worth it. That's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Agree more, here's his next problem. He used our coffee
money to pay for the ticket. Good, so he should okay,
next problem he hasn't got any bag because he booked
no bag.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Oh yeah, so well he'll just have a carry on, right.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, that's what he thought he could, thought he could
do a week's holiday with just to carry on. I
think that's that's adventurous, to say the least.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yeah, but people can do it. I mean obviously not
needed to take you one hundred mils of oda pathlon
left and right. You know, you'd need all your and
your bag. Yeah, a lot of velvet, a lot of marino.
No way you'd be able to do that. But sam can.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
He's unfortunately now moaning because he's in the middle seat
in rows sixty eight, and he said, he said he
doesn't want to be in the middle row, in the
middle seat in row sixty eight, but for seventy five
dollars he can go to the seat in economy where
you get some extra leg room.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
But it's we're only going.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
To Australia, right, That's what he said.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
It's it's worth it, it's worth a saving. It's not. I mean,
it's not like you're flying twelve or more hours.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Okay, because I offered to give them seventy five dollars
for the leg room.

Speaker 7 (11:20):
Oh nice, on do that, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
I said, give us. But then he said, well, I said,
I'll give you seventy five dollars for the lig room.
But then he said I've already spent your coffee money
on the ticket. And then I got a bit angry.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Give him the money anyway, Okay, put up with a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, he puts up with a lot.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yeah, and stop calling him a junior researcher.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, Jason came Jason, who's the boss. I must introduce Jason. Jason,
who's the boss of the company, came in and said
to me that. He said, look, I don't coatch you often,
but you you're failing badly at this particular department. You're
just introducing people know and knows who you're talking about.
So give everybody a job title. And so Sammy's job
title is junior research assistant, and Jason's job title is
the boss of the company. I'm Mike from christ Juction.

(12:06):
I host the shape title.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
As executive producer of the Mic Hosking Breakfast.

Speaker 7 (12:11):
Thank You.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I don't think it is. I think that's the title.
I think that's the title of the pile. No, he's not.
He's that's the title he invented. But it doesn't refract,
so he doesn't reflect that one in his performance.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
This is this is the guy who literally makes you
every day, and you need you need to give him
the seventy five bucks, and then you need to look
them in the eye, shake his hands and say thank
you sir.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
Well, let's listen to some Morgan Wallen.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
We'll do that. Okay, So Katie, can you transfer the
seventy five for Sammy and make sure that that's done.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
Katie could also pocket but.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
He's no, no, no, it's simply oh you could be
seventy five times too, well, isn't it both ways? Well,
actually the hundred and fifty bucks, So this puts a
whole new complexion on it. I don't know about that.
So let's let's send him one way and see see
