6
00:00:21,013 --> 00:00:23,453

Speaker 3: Jack nicefully said about MoU Blome me, I didn't listen

13
00:00:42,853 --> 00:00:46,933
Speaker 3: to their music much, but oddly one day the funny

14
00:00:46,933 --> 00:00:49,893
Speaker 3: things that happened on TV really I ended up having

15
00:00:49,933 --> 00:00:52,493
Speaker 3: to do a promo for Fairgo, which was going out

16
00:00:52,493 --> 00:00:55,893
Speaker 3: that night. But they were in the studio and we

17
00:00:56,053 --> 00:00:59,093
Speaker 3: ended up sort of doing a little thing together, and.

18
00:01:00,133 --> 00:01:03,973
Speaker 2: My, hey, totally clear, are we talking about a musical

19
00:01:04,013 --> 00:01:07,613
Speaker 2: thing here? Were you were sort of one of the

20
00:01:07,773 --> 00:01:09,213
Speaker 2: one of the you know, is one of the guest

21
00:01:09,293 --> 00:01:11,933
Speaker 2: artists and got you to get dust off the old pipes.

22
00:01:12,053 --> 00:01:15,093
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I actually said to them that one of

23
00:01:15,093 --> 00:01:18,133
Speaker 3: my great aims in life was still record a pop

24
00:01:18,173 --> 00:01:21,333
Speaker 3: song or or some sort of song that might go

25
00:01:21,373 --> 00:01:24,413
Speaker 3: on the charts. Yeah. And and I said, would there

26
00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:27,813
Speaker 3: be any charts that I could record it with you guys?

27
00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:30,093
Speaker 3: And they were, they were writing into it.

28
00:01:30,173 --> 00:01:30,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course they were.

29
00:01:31,773 --> 00:01:36,453
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, because luckily it never got any further.

30
00:01:36,493 --> 00:01:40,053
Speaker 2: But but honestly, that feels like that could be true

31
00:01:41,093 --> 00:01:43,013
Speaker 2: of any band, if you were going to feature and

32
00:01:43,333 --> 00:01:45,493
Speaker 2: a performance from any band, I think that that is

33
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:48,013
Speaker 2: the band. It feels like you could just slip into

34
00:01:48,013 --> 00:01:50,613
Speaker 2: the lineup, you know, a third from the left, do

35
00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:50,813
Speaker 2: you go?

36
00:01:50,853 --> 00:01:51,133
Speaker 3: Hang on?

37
00:01:51,253 --> 00:01:52,253
Speaker 2: Is that Kevin Mill.

38
00:01:53,853 --> 00:01:57,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're making me wish you had father that. Yeah.

39
00:01:57,133 --> 00:02:00,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Kevin, You've been thinking about weddings this week.

40
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:05,413
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got to congratulate Listener columnists Jane Clifton for

41
00:02:05,533 --> 00:02:09,293
Speaker 3: this week flow throwing new light onto the much maligned

42
00:02:09,373 --> 00:02:13,813
Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos wedding in Venice. As we know, Bezos had

43
00:02:13,853 --> 00:02:17,253
Speaker 3: been criticized for that tens of millions he spent on

44
00:02:17,333 --> 00:02:22,133
Speaker 3: the wedding. Unacceptable showing off, we thought, But as Jane

45
00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:25,853
Speaker 3: points out, the amount he spent on his wedding as

46
00:02:25,893 --> 00:02:30,053
Speaker 3: a proportion of his wealth is minor by comparison to

47
00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:34,133
Speaker 3: the rest of us. Best estimates show that your average British,

48
00:02:34,253 --> 00:02:39,853
Speaker 3: European and American couples spend about half their annual income

49
00:02:40,253 --> 00:02:43,413
Speaker 3: on their wedding. That's an average New Zealand wouldn't be

50
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:46,733
Speaker 3: far behind. Giving well, it seems to be a mushrooming

51
00:02:46,813 --> 00:02:50,893
Speaker 3: budget for our wedding's avare so who is the show

52
00:02:50,933 --> 00:02:55,133
Speaker 3: off Bezos who apparently earns eight million dollars an hour

53
00:02:55,653 --> 00:02:59,893
Speaker 3: spending fifty millions on his wedding or the average couple

54
00:03:00,173 --> 00:03:04,053
Speaker 3: who spent half their annual income on a showy wedding.

55
00:03:04,613 --> 00:03:09,813
Speaker 3: Bezos only spent what he earns in a morning. If

56
00:03:09,853 --> 00:03:12,733
Speaker 3: you want to spend the same proportion of his earnings

57
00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:17,573
Speaker 3: for honors wedding as we apparently do, he'd have spent

58
00:03:17,733 --> 00:03:22,413
Speaker 3: thirty five billion. As well as the Venice Canals, he'd

59
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:25,613
Speaker 3: have bought the Sistine Chapel for the service, the leaning

60
00:03:25,653 --> 00:03:28,653
Speaker 3: towered pizza for the photos, and the Colosseum for the

61
00:03:28,693 --> 00:03:32,853
Speaker 3: after party. By comparison to the rest of us, Bezos

62
00:03:33,133 --> 00:03:38,653
Speaker 3: showed restraint. And I tell Jane Clifton's story because it

63
00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:41,973
Speaker 3: tells us that to some extent, we're the fools. Don't

64
00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:44,453
Speaker 3: get sacked into a wedding that's out of proportion to

65
00:03:44,493 --> 00:03:47,773
Speaker 3: your income. Don't worry about your friends. They'll be the

66
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:51,053
Speaker 3: last to complain. They're as hard up as you are.

67
00:03:51,933 --> 00:03:54,493
Speaker 3: Most to be delighted. They don't have to stump up

68
00:03:54,533 --> 00:03:58,133
Speaker 3: for a gift, a new outfit, babysitters, a day off

69
00:03:58,173 --> 00:04:02,453
Speaker 3: work for travel, and an expensive bed in allowsy hotel.

70
00:04:03,773 --> 00:04:09,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, given. It's funny like that. The you know,

71
00:04:09,693 --> 00:04:12,533
Speaker 2: the showiness of weddings is, you know, it's not important

72
00:04:12,573 --> 00:04:15,813
Speaker 2: to everyone, but it clearly is important to to some people.

73
00:04:15,893 --> 00:04:18,053
Speaker 2: I mean it's a I think it's always just a balance.

74
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:18,293
Speaker 3: Ay.

75
00:04:18,373 --> 00:04:21,133
Speaker 2: I mean, we spend a few summer money on on

76
00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:24,013
Speaker 2: our wedding, but I I sort of felt like I

77
00:04:24,093 --> 00:04:27,573
Speaker 2: was paying for the outsourcing of the organization. You know,

78
00:04:27,773 --> 00:04:29,973
Speaker 2: Like I was like, if this means that I'm going

79
00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:32,613
Speaker 2: to spend less time worrying about the absolute kind of

80
00:04:32,693 --> 00:04:35,133
Speaker 2: quality of the you know, food and that kind of thing.

81
00:04:36,293 --> 00:04:37,853
Speaker 2: And you know, we had a lot of sort of

82
00:04:37,853 --> 00:04:39,933
Speaker 2: family and stuff coming from overseas, and I sort of

83
00:04:39,933 --> 00:04:41,573
Speaker 2: thought it'd be nice to give them a good day.

84
00:04:41,853 --> 00:04:44,453
Speaker 2: But you can see how people over extend and just

85
00:04:44,613 --> 00:04:47,893
Speaker 2: and just kind of lose lose sight of relativity for

86
00:04:47,973 --> 00:04:49,733
Speaker 2: what is at the end of the day, six or

87
00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:50,573
Speaker 2: seven hours, you know.

88
00:04:51,373 --> 00:04:54,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's if you've got the

89
00:04:54,213 --> 00:04:57,093
Speaker 3: If you've got the money, good on you, I say,

90
00:04:57,293 --> 00:05:00,773
Speaker 3: But please, if you don't have the money, don't do

91
00:05:00,973 --> 00:05:04,613
Speaker 3: anything like overspend that you're wedding just to keep up

92
00:05:04,613 --> 00:05:08,253
Speaker 3: with your friends. Yeah you have, That's all I'd say.

93
00:05:08,813 --> 00:05:11,133
Speaker 3: And we got married in the side chapel at the

94
00:05:11,213 --> 00:05:16,173
Speaker 3: church and had the we had the after event at

95
00:05:16,213 --> 00:05:18,373
Speaker 3: my mother's ownership flat.

96
00:05:18,573 --> 00:05:19,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.

97
00:05:20,853 --> 00:05:22,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was great.

98
00:05:23,373 --> 00:05:25,813
Speaker 2: I might have mentioned this before. My parents. My parents

99
00:05:25,813 --> 00:05:29,453
Speaker 2: got married in my in my grandparents' backyard, but they

100
00:05:29,893 --> 00:05:33,693
Speaker 2: the night before my dad's best man had his wedding,

101
00:05:34,213 --> 00:05:37,573
Speaker 2: and so, I mean, it seems like very bad planning

102
00:05:38,293 --> 00:05:40,813
Speaker 2: if you ask me. But so basically they flipped a

103
00:05:40,853 --> 00:05:44,773
Speaker 2: coin to decide which wedding would go first, and and

104
00:05:44,893 --> 00:05:46,573
Speaker 2: mom and dad had the next day, which meant that

105
00:05:46,613 --> 00:05:49,293
Speaker 2: I think the photos, Dad's probably looking a little dustier

106
00:05:49,293 --> 00:05:54,013
Speaker 2: than he might otherwise. Yeah, I certainly think times have changed,

107
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:58,293
Speaker 2: you know. It's it's amazing. Yeah, thanks so much. Kevin

108
00:05:58,413 --> 00:06:00,413
Speaker 2: have a great weekend and double catching him very soon.

109
00:06:00,493 --> 00:06:03,413
Speaker 2: Kevin Milone kicking us off for a Saturday Morning together Hamouses,

110
00:06:03,493 --> 00:06:05,653
Speaker 2: Jack like you, I played the trumpet at school and

111
00:06:05,653 --> 00:06:08,333
Speaker 2: stopped because there wasn't anything cool to play. Listening to

112
00:06:08,413 --> 00:06:10,853
Speaker 2: Fat Freddy's has often made me daydream. They've said their

113
00:06:10,933 --> 00:06:14,013
Speaker 2: music their school music teacher got them playing contemporary music.

114
00:06:14,053 --> 00:06:19,293
Speaker 2: They are lyle Bay's finest export. Certainly agree about lyle Bays. Yeah,

115
00:06:19,493 --> 00:06:22,053
Speaker 2: I sort of. I played heaps and music at school.

116
00:06:22,133 --> 00:06:24,093
Speaker 2: I played that, sort of played the drums, and I

117
00:06:24,173 --> 00:06:27,693
Speaker 2: played played lots of guitar as well, played heaps of trombone.

118
00:06:27,693 --> 00:06:30,933
Speaker 2: But I've only really kept up with the guitar. Sometimes

119
00:06:30,973 --> 00:06:33,133
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's just because it's easier to pick up,

120
00:06:33,413 --> 00:06:35,013
Speaker 2: you know, like you can just have it sitting there

121
00:06:35,013 --> 00:06:36,693
Speaker 2: in the lounge and you pick it up. I've still

122
00:06:36,733 --> 00:06:41,453
Speaker 2: got a trombone, though, so you never know, never too late. Maybe,

123
00:06:41,573 --> 00:06:43,333
Speaker 2: depending on how the next couple of hours go, we

124
00:06:43,333 --> 00:06:45,533
Speaker 2: could close out the show with an original composition.

125
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:49,053
