2
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,453
Speaker 1: from News Talks.

Speaker 2: That'd be Kevin Milne is with us this morning. He has,

4
00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,813
Speaker 2: of course, just returned from the UK Kelder Kevin.

5
00:00:18,253 --> 00:00:23,133
Speaker 3: Adam Marier Koto. I've been watching that race of Jordi Beamish,

6
00:00:23,333 --> 00:00:26,613
Speaker 3: oh yeah, about ten times, and just lessons in it

7
00:00:26,653 --> 00:00:30,373
Speaker 3: for us. All. Yeah, you can. If you can just

8
00:00:30,493 --> 00:00:35,533
Speaker 3: stay with it for about ninety percent of whatever it

9
00:00:35,573 --> 00:00:39,253
Speaker 3: is you're trying to do and then pull out the

10
00:00:39,893 --> 00:00:43,133
Speaker 3: brilliant effort for the last as he did about the

11
00:00:43,173 --> 00:00:46,813
Speaker 3: last fifteen seconds to win gold, then that's all we

12
00:00:46,893 --> 00:00:49,973
Speaker 3: need to do. Yeah. I just keep looking at it

13
00:00:49,973 --> 00:00:51,893
Speaker 3: and think there are lessons in this race for all

14
00:00:51,893 --> 00:00:52,253
Speaker 3: of us.

15
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:56,253
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't know that if I could, like it's

16
00:00:56,413 --> 00:00:58,693
Speaker 2: kind of blithe to say, if you can just stick

17
00:00:58,733 --> 00:01:02,093
Speaker 2: with the world's best runners for two thousand, eight hundred

18
00:01:02,173 --> 00:01:06,293
Speaker 2: meters and as you know, running these like two minute k's,

19
00:01:06,413 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 2: and then if you can just stick with them for that,

20
00:01:08,253 --> 00:01:10,293
Speaker 2: then the last couple of hundred meters. I'm not sure

21
00:01:10,333 --> 00:01:12,173
Speaker 2: I'm going to be able to do the first part

22
00:01:12,173 --> 00:01:14,533
Speaker 2: of that equation, but you're totally right, like he's he

23
00:01:14,893 --> 00:01:17,693
Speaker 2: is amazing, right, because he's the guy with the cack's,

24
00:01:17,853 --> 00:01:20,373
Speaker 2: he's the last couple of hundred meters where he really

25
00:01:20,373 --> 00:01:23,973
Speaker 2: pushes on. And obviously that that worked out from this week,

26
00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:25,213
Speaker 2: it was amazing to see.

27
00:01:25,893 --> 00:01:29,933

34
00:01:42,653 --> 00:01:45,053
Speaker 2: wasn't the only one who thought that show was worth something.

35
00:01:45,053 --> 00:01:46,733
Speaker 2: But Kevin, like I say, you've just returned from the

36
00:01:46,813 --> 00:01:49,493
Speaker 2: UK and you got to meet some fascinating people when

37
00:01:49,533 --> 00:01:50,013
Speaker 2: you're in London.

38
00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:51,573
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just wanted to tell you about some of

39
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:54,933
Speaker 3: the interesting characters that they came across. I had a

40
00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:58,013
Speaker 3: few beers of a friend of my son Jake's. His

41
00:01:58,133 --> 00:02:01,173
Speaker 3: name was seb He had been working on a TV series,

42
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:04,933
Speaker 3: James May and the Dull Men. Have you seen that

43
00:02:05,093 --> 00:02:06,053
Speaker 3: on Delly Jack?

44
00:02:06,173 --> 00:02:08,413
Speaker 2: No, No, I've seen it advertised, but I haven't watched it.

45
00:02:09,013 --> 00:02:09,213
Speaker 1: Yeah.

46
00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:13,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a worthwhile program. So I think it's a

47
00:02:13,293 --> 00:02:16,413
Speaker 3: real blowkey kind of a program. Really, it's about people

48
00:02:16,493 --> 00:02:20,013
Speaker 3: who become obsessed with silly little things that men get

49
00:02:20,053 --> 00:02:23,053
Speaker 3: obsessed with. Anyway, I asked him what his role was

50
00:02:23,093 --> 00:02:26,773
Speaker 3: on the show, and his response was classic, I was

51
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:30,253
Speaker 3: one of the dull men keV, which I thought was

52
00:02:30,293 --> 00:02:34,773
Speaker 3: a great line. Really said was anything but dull. As

53
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:38,933
Speaker 3: we woofed down several pints. While I was drinking with

54
00:02:39,053 --> 00:02:41,853
Speaker 3: said Linda got to meet singer Jake Shears of the

55
00:02:41,893 --> 00:02:45,053
Speaker 3: Scissor Sisters, a mate of my other's son, Alex. The

56
00:02:45,133 --> 00:02:47,853
Speaker 3: Scissor Sisters were doing a concert with the Pet Shop Boys.

57
00:02:48,773 --> 00:02:51,333
Speaker 3: We were invited to dinner by another at one of

58
00:02:51,373 --> 00:02:54,893
Speaker 3: Alex's friends, Rebecca. I had no idea what she did,

59
00:02:54,933 --> 00:02:57,693
Speaker 3: so I was startled when she whispered across the table

60
00:02:58,213 --> 00:03:00,773
Speaker 3: I might be meeting Donald Trump when he comes to London.

61
00:03:02,133 --> 00:03:04,973
Speaker 3: I thought it was quite a good dinner party line. Anyway.

62
00:03:05,053 --> 00:03:09,613
Speaker 3: Rebecca works for Texture Meta, reporting directly to Mark Zuckerberg.

63
00:03:10,613 --> 00:03:14,133
Speaker 3: Some huge US UK tech deals would discuss while Trump

64
00:03:14,213 --> 00:03:16,893
Speaker 3: was in England. I don't know whether Rebecca in the

65
00:03:17,013 --> 00:03:20,173
Speaker 3: end got into that big long line that Trump talked

66
00:03:20,173 --> 00:03:22,213
Speaker 3: about where he had to shake one hundred and fifty

67
00:03:22,293 --> 00:03:26,213
Speaker 3: ands that maybe she did, and I got to meet

68
00:03:26,893 --> 00:03:31,133
Speaker 3: mister Bingo Jack. Have you heard of him? No, he's

69
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:34,413
Speaker 3: a brilliant illustrator. He worked for The New Yorker, The

70
00:03:34,493 --> 00:03:38,693
Speaker 3: New York Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, etc. Then decided

71
00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:42,293
Speaker 3: to become mister Bingo and launch a range of eccentric

72
00:03:42,493 --> 00:03:46,373
Speaker 3: art projects like his hate mail. It began when he

73
00:03:46,453 --> 00:03:50,333
Speaker 3: sent off a single tweet into the tweet sphere. It read,

74
00:03:50,893 --> 00:03:54,413
Speaker 3: I will send a postcard with an offensive message to

75
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:59,053
Speaker 3: the first person who replies to this. Over one thousand

76
00:03:59,093 --> 00:04:02,973
Speaker 3: abusive postcards later, mister Bingo is now sending out so

77
00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:08,333
Speaker 3: many lovingly abusive messages and drawings around the world he's

78
00:04:08,333 --> 00:04:10,893
Speaker 3: had to hire a company to manage the postal side

79
00:04:10,893 --> 00:04:14,733
Speaker 3: of things. Check out mister Mingo's website. He's got a

80
00:04:14,773 --> 00:04:18,773
Speaker 3: fan based in New Zealand. Actually, he himself is very

81
00:04:18,813 --> 00:04:23,173
Speaker 3: smart and he's very funny. But if offensive language offends you,

82
00:04:23,213 --> 00:04:25,093
Speaker 3: maybe better not check out the websit.

83
00:04:25,213 --> 00:04:29,373
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, the key is to reply to one of

84
00:04:29,373 --> 00:04:32,853
Speaker 2: his tweets then, but to submit a different address.

85
00:04:34,413 --> 00:04:37,733
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you can send You didn't send a card

86
00:04:37,813 --> 00:04:38,933
Speaker 3: to a friend? Yeah?

Speaker 2: be in a city like that, you know. You know,

89
00:04:45,533 --> 00:04:48,013

90
00:04:48,053 --> 00:04:51,573
Speaker 2: but when you're in a big, vibrant, global city like that,
