Mike Golf on the radio is missing something. It's funny you should say that I heard. I think you're right, but you're wrong. I heard Jack Nicholas's swing this morning on the radio, and I discovered to himself, when you hear a swing that collects and connects, you know he hit the ball and he did hit the ball well. I hit that noise, and I thought, that's a good noise. He's got that well, and as it turns out, he did. Tim Wilson's with us along with along with Kate Hawksby, Good morning to both of you.

Good morning. I wondered if I could just clarify for listeners, because radio is a hard thing when you've got to visualize the wine glass situation. I just wanted to clarify the size your wine glass of people just envisage their average vase at home for flowers. That is about the size of a my custom glass for wine.

Well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what to say, now do yeah, yeah, I do. I do. Look at Winston this morning.

Here's a movement, Here's here's the thing. Look at who's Winston Peters. He's in top form, He's at the top of his game.

Here's a movement, Here's here's the thing. Look at who's Winston Peters. He's in top form, He's at the top of his game.

But you say that, hold on my understanding. My understanding is Winston's low, if not nil, on the booze, and he's in. I think he's also low, if not nil, on the tobacco as well, So I think that might have something to do with it. He's found a new lease of life, he's got his purpose, and he ain't. He ain't the drinker that he used to be. Your point, though, is relevant that at eighty years old, the trick you're learning in life tim is numbers are irrelevant. You want to be a good whatever it is you are. So Peter's is a good eighty. So he's a good eighty. Biden was a shocking eighty two year old. Trump's a decent seventy eight year old. Do you know what I mean? You've got to be that. Whatever the number is, you got to be a good number. Yeah.

Yeah, that's true. I don't drink the sugary drinks either, So so I've got to say that I feel better for not drinking, which is I know that's a cliche, old old, tired ord cliche to say, but it is actually true. Now, how how how bitter do you feel? What is it?

Oh?

Oh?

Is it in percentage terms? Well? Are numbers or fewer hangovers? I've never had a hangover. I was never a heavy drinker. I just feel I just feel bitter. I don't know, twenty percent better, twenty three percent better, Okay, something like that. It's well worth it. I would I hate to preach, and I hate people who preach, But all I would say, do whatever you want because I don't care. But if you do want to give up drinking for the idea that you will feel better for it, you will.

We're not talking screw caps.

So no, I cork it up. Serious, I cork it up, and it's it's still good the following week, and so I do, what's it like? What's it like after week three? When it's still can go? It can get a little what's the word. It can get a little, a little erated, a little rated, but it's still reasonably good if you cork it properly. Now sounds like there's probably no no alcoholic, whether it might not be. Well, a lot of it goes into Katie's spake bowl, doesn't it, Katie? You put a good, good slosh into the spag bowl. So what happens with the bottle of wine in our house now is Mike has a glass. He has a glass the next week, and then Kadie makes bag Bob, there's your bottle of.

One they're so exciting. It's fun games.

One they're so exciting. It's fun games.

That's how it worked, so rock and roll. Now, next question, Cadie, is it a scam that the people who want to make The Chase the New Zealand version of The Chase want to do it one for only four episodes and two if you're one of the people they choose to be a contestant, you then have to pay your own way to Australia, both in terms of effa and accommodation.

I don't I mean personally, yes for me, but for the people who want to appear on the Chase, I don't think they'll see that as an impediment because they will see this as their great ticket to greatness.

Would you see it as a holiday? So in other words, you go right, we'll go to Sydney anyway or Melbourne where off it's being filmed. And when I lose money, which I always do, I don't watch the Chase, but every time I've seen it before the news, no one ever wins. I'm sorry, you haven't beat the Chaser tonight. Do you think you compete the Chaser? You give us a call, let us know if you compete the Chaser?

But carry on, might go with the corabon. Yeah, no, the coraban. If you don't know what a corabon is, it's a it's a poor It's a thing you put in a bottle. It looks like, hey, what does it look like? So I like a handle thing. It looks like a thing you might I don't know. I don't know what it looks like. It doesn't matter anyway.

The size of your glasses though, I mean when Tim says by week three, let's be honest, the bottle probably only lasts two because with the size of your glasses.

The size of your glasses though, I mean when Tim says by week three, let's be honest, the bottle probably only lasts two because with the size of your glasses.

Oh yeah, the vases. There's nothing wrong with a large glass anyway. It wasn't my fault. I didn't make the glass. It's just the I mean, you know, somebody else made the glass, and suspicial it's an outsourced response. You're the one doing special glass. It's like a really high, high powered, high quality, handmade glass. And they're the experts in the glass field, and if they feel that it's necessary to have a glass that size, who am I to argue with it? For God or everyone else's fault. Blah blah blah blah blah. Let me ask you this question. Should I host the chase?

Yes?

Yes?

Not if you have to pay your own way to get there?

Not if you have to pay your own way to get there?

No, I think that's but I'm a reasonably good negotiator. I would anticipate the ability not to have to pay my own way. The only reason I ask is I feel cut short in my career as the host of game shows because I did, of course do Millionaire and the Millionaire thing. The Millionaire thing's been done, so this business of people going to Australia, it's not new. We did Millionaire in Australia. We did it in Melbourne and all the contestants were people who lived in Australia. They're all New Zealanders who lived in Australia. So this idea that they're going to ship a whole lot of New Zealanders across isn't true either. They'll get people in Australia and the audience was made up of expats in Melbourne, and we were at Channel nine and we used the Australian set, so we saved money doing that. Anyway, it was a very successful show, not because of me, but because the format was a very successful format. But I fell between stools because at the time in New Zealand we're having another one of the financial convulsions, and they announced that it would be back for the next year, and I thought, oh, that's good. This could be something that I could do literally forever. And then they canceled it, and so I thought, that's not fair. You don't cancel a successful show because that's uncool. And that's one of the many problems TV and z's had over the years. So I'm wondering if I shouldn't reignite my career as a game show host. I'm just wondering if TV and it's laughing the same sort of way at the moment, I think they will be.

Okay, So so no chance, you're saying, Katie, thanks very much for see how it goes at home, can't you t No, no, no, I think you no, I love to laugh.

That you didn't hit it with a spade, and that was interesting to me. A lot of people said the rat poison in it. Dying by poison was cruel and I don't know when cruelty to rats became a thing, but.

No, I agree. But my argument was, if a rat was already dying. You'd done your job. You didn't want to exacerbate that by then splattering.

No, I agree. But my argument was, if a rat was already dying. You'd done your job. You didn't want to exacerbate that by then splattering.

Kind thing to do would have been you whack it on the head with a spade. But I don't think they think.

No, it's not my apartment in Bushwick. When I was living in Brooklyn where it was infested with rats, we used to have glue traps. You know what glue trappers, So it's glue and the rat runs across it gets caught, but of course doesn't get killed. So my job in the morning was to collect the glue traps with these sort of muling, squirming creatures. How many take them out to the befour or five, take them out to the building site next door, find a brick and send them off on their merry way.

How big were they they were?

They were big in New York. In New York, apparently you're never more than one meter away from a rat. And the question that I asked to that statistic is biped or quadruped, But that's another story.
