1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,693 Speaker 1: from News Talk STB. 3 00:00:13,373 --> 00:00:14,893 Speaker 2: I know a man who's going to have an opinion 4 00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,173 Speaker 2: on the Jack Tame theory of seasonal rounding. Cald A, 5 00:00:17,213 --> 00:00:20,973 Speaker 2: Good morning, Rude climb pass. 6 00:00:19,613 --> 00:00:24,213 Speaker 3: Seasonal round Hang on, I'm a full disclosure, I didn't listen. 7 00:00:24,253 --> 00:00:26,053 Speaker 3: I've been I've been not feeling too well and I've 8 00:00:26,093 --> 00:00:26,573 Speaker 3: been working. 9 00:00:26,973 --> 00:00:29,693 Speaker 2: But go on, Okay, So here's the theory. The theory 10 00:00:29,773 --> 00:00:32,533 Speaker 2: is that is that we acknowledge that spring starts on 11 00:00:32,573 --> 00:00:34,893 Speaker 2: the twenty third of September, not on the first of September, 12 00:00:34,973 --> 00:00:38,693 Speaker 2: but that for the sake of seasonal rounding, we round 13 00:00:38,853 --> 00:00:41,733 Speaker 2: ford for spring. So we start spring a little bit 14 00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:44,373 Speaker 2: early on the first of September, while steep down acknowledging 15 00:00:44,373 --> 00:00:46,293 Speaker 2: that technically doesn't start till the twenty third, but we 16 00:00:46,373 --> 00:00:48,373 Speaker 2: celebrate the first of September as though it is the 17 00:00:48,373 --> 00:00:50,733 Speaker 2: beginning of spring. And then at the other end of 18 00:00:50,733 --> 00:00:53,733 Speaker 2: the seasons, when we're heading into the cooler months, we 19 00:00:53,853 --> 00:00:55,813 Speaker 2: push things back a little bit so we stick with 20 00:00:55,893 --> 00:00:59,413 Speaker 2: the original dates. So, if you like, we round things 21 00:00:59,453 --> 00:01:01,333 Speaker 2: forward at the front end, and then we return to 22 00:01:01,333 --> 00:01:04,453 Speaker 2: the alternative to the to the actual dates when it 23 00:01:04,493 --> 00:01:05,533 Speaker 2: gets to the cooler months. 24 00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:09,773 Speaker 3: Do you really think that people that work on television 25 00:01:09,893 --> 00:01:12,893 Speaker 3: can do this science just off the top of their head? 26 00:01:14,933 --> 00:01:17,533 Speaker 3: Why else do you think we do the first of September? 27 00:01:17,693 --> 00:01:20,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is true, This is true. I mean, yes, 28 00:01:20,733 --> 00:01:22,893 Speaker 2: people who are on TV, in my experience, most of 29 00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:26,333 Speaker 2: us anyway, can't do much else thinkfully. But yeah, I 30 00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:29,573 Speaker 2: mean that they're being said. I'm seeing more and more 31 00:01:29,613 --> 00:01:34,093 Speaker 2: blossom around the country, and you know it's I know 32 00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:36,613 Speaker 2: that Aucklands had the kind of electrical storms a couple 33 00:01:36,653 --> 00:01:38,533 Speaker 2: of times over the last few days, which means they've 34 00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:41,093 Speaker 2: got to be some some cool, some some warmer ear 35 00:01:41,173 --> 00:01:43,973 Speaker 2: in the in the atmosphere as well, so you know 36 00:01:44,333 --> 00:01:46,653 Speaker 2: there is reason to feel like spring is starting to spring. 37 00:01:47,533 --> 00:01:51,693 Speaker 3: I love the way you take the mickey out of me. Fabulous. 38 00:01:51,933 --> 00:01:56,653 Speaker 3: I think it's brilliant because that's exactly what what what 39 00:01:56,733 --> 00:01:58,693 Speaker 3: I think has happened the last two weeks ago. I 40 00:01:58,693 --> 00:02:01,493 Speaker 3: thought we talked about earlier spring and all that sort 41 00:02:01,493 --> 00:02:04,613 Speaker 3: of stuff, and it was all to do with my clematists. 42 00:02:04,693 --> 00:02:08,493 Speaker 3: My clematist paniculata, which is one of our seven species 43 00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:12,733 Speaker 3: of native New Zealand clematists in autioa. And and I've 44 00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:15,413 Speaker 3: got I've given a picture to to Leveyes. You'll check 45 00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:18,733 Speaker 3: it on the website. The picture I took after we 46 00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:22,173 Speaker 3: last week, after we spoke about this on the twenty 47 00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:25,213 Speaker 3: fifth of August, shows you a couple of flowers and 48 00:02:25,213 --> 00:02:28,613 Speaker 3: a whole lot of bud's going. And I was really excited, 49 00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:33,653 Speaker 3: like exactly as you say, the excitement of its becoming spring. Ye, 50 00:02:34,533 --> 00:02:39,653 Speaker 3: And it's early now, okay, so let's let's first talk 51 00:02:39,653 --> 00:02:43,053 Speaker 3: about clematists. That's fine. It's a plant that I personally 52 00:02:43,253 --> 00:02:47,093 Speaker 3: love dearly. It is beautiful, it's such a good native climber, 53 00:02:47,573 --> 00:02:52,133 Speaker 3: and it's it's it's a it's called a one pawan aga, 54 00:02:52,453 --> 00:02:55,213 Speaker 3: which is flower of the skies, which I think is 55 00:02:55,213 --> 00:02:58,973 Speaker 3: a lovely Mato Maori observation word for this thing that 56 00:02:59,093 --> 00:03:03,773 Speaker 3: grows upwards and gets the flowers right on top of 57 00:03:03,813 --> 00:03:06,973 Speaker 3: what it climbs on. And in my set situation, it's 58 00:03:06,973 --> 00:03:09,293 Speaker 3: climbing on an old birch tree that's dead, by the 59 00:03:09,293 --> 00:03:12,293 Speaker 3: way and causing trouble because it'll die and the old 60 00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:16,213 Speaker 3: thing will collapse. But that's another story. So that's that 61 00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:18,933 Speaker 3: is it the flower of the sky for those people 62 00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:21,893 Speaker 3: that want to see these white bunicular other flowers. Those 63 00:03:21,933 --> 00:03:26,573 Speaker 3: climatis they go in what they say is moist soil, 64 00:03:26,773 --> 00:03:30,613 Speaker 3: cool moist soils. But they have to then climb to 65 00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:33,853 Speaker 3: the top of their climbing rack if you like. Where 66 00:03:33,893 --> 00:03:38,813 Speaker 3: they make their buds and their flowers in warm, sunny conditions, 67 00:03:39,213 --> 00:03:42,813 Speaker 3: so cool roots, sunny sunny head if you like. Yeah. 68 00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:45,693 Speaker 2: Right, So what's going to happen is you've got what 69 00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:48,853 Speaker 2: the moment you've got on this old dead birch, right, 70 00:03:48,933 --> 00:03:52,373 Speaker 2: So it's going to collapse at some point. Where would 71 00:03:52,413 --> 00:03:55,133 Speaker 2: you use what would you know in an ideal situation, 72 00:03:55,173 --> 00:03:57,213 Speaker 2: would you have it climbing on a living tree? 73 00:03:58,013 --> 00:03:59,973 Speaker 3: Yes, you do. But the problem with the living tree 74 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,133 Speaker 3: is that it wouldn't be as spectacular as it is 75 00:04:02,173 --> 00:04:04,653 Speaker 3: on a dead tree that has no leaves, right, because 76 00:04:04,653 --> 00:04:06,653 Speaker 3: if you have no leaves, you got more sun. Therefore 77 00:04:06,653 --> 00:04:09,293 Speaker 3: you get and you get more flowers. Yeah, you got it. 78 00:04:09,653 --> 00:04:13,213 Speaker 3: But here comes to thing. So i've last oh hah, 79 00:04:13,493 --> 00:04:16,653 Speaker 3: another one. Last week I had the Advanced Tree Services 80 00:04:16,653 --> 00:04:20,173 Speaker 3: at my place literally cutting down heaps of my gum 81 00:04:20,253 --> 00:04:23,853 Speaker 3: trees eucalyptus. Right, that would when it's dead, When the 82 00:04:23,893 --> 00:04:26,853 Speaker 3: tree is dead, for instance, a dead eucalyptus will stay 83 00:04:26,893 --> 00:04:31,413 Speaker 3: for probably a decade or two as still strong enough 84 00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:33,853 Speaker 3: to hold things like this, whereas a birch would go 85 00:04:33,893 --> 00:04:36,933 Speaker 3: within five years. See that's the difference. So I would 86 00:04:37,053 --> 00:04:40,693 Speaker 3: use Acacia eucalyptus, what all that sort of stuff, especially 87 00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:44,453 Speaker 3: dead ones of those, as your climbing rack for poniculata 88 00:04:44,493 --> 00:04:47,613 Speaker 3: for that particular climatis. So that's what it is now. 89 00:04:48,213 --> 00:04:51,093 Speaker 3: So then I went into the garden a couple of 90 00:04:51,173 --> 00:04:53,573 Speaker 3: days ago before I sent all this stuff off the libby, 91 00:04:53,853 --> 00:04:57,373 Speaker 3: and I took a photo of basically the plant as 92 00:04:57,373 --> 00:04:59,373 Speaker 3: it is now. So what people can see now is 93 00:04:59,773 --> 00:05:03,653 Speaker 3: today what my clematist looks like. And here comes the thing. 94 00:05:04,293 --> 00:05:07,573 Speaker 3: If I go through all my photo on my computer 95 00:05:07,733 --> 00:05:12,813 Speaker 3: of clever disponicula, the same one, it is always flowering 96 00:05:13,173 --> 00:05:15,733 Speaker 3: from today onwards. 97 00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:20,933 Speaker 2: Really it's very August, yeah exactly. 98 00:05:21,093 --> 00:05:25,013 Speaker 3: And so it's just our excitement. Yeah yeah, god, it 99 00:05:25,053 --> 00:05:28,293 Speaker 3: looks good. Did you think? Ah, spring us here? And 100 00:05:28,373 --> 00:05:31,293 Speaker 3: that is what this is. Four people on the television 101 00:05:31,293 --> 00:05:31,933 Speaker 3: suffer from. 102 00:05:31,973 --> 00:05:35,253 Speaker 2: This is why you need the Jacktime theory of seasonal 103 00:05:35,293 --> 00:05:37,053 Speaker 2: adjustment or seasonal rounding. 104 00:05:37,893 --> 00:05:39,653 Speaker 3: That's why I said you are the best one to 105 00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:42,053 Speaker 3: take the mickey out of me because I was totally wrong. 106 00:05:42,613 --> 00:05:44,933 Speaker 3: It was a regular s clockwork. 107 00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:47,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Hey, thank you so much, and we 108 00:05:47,373 --> 00:05:49,133 Speaker 2: will make sure to put those photos up on the 109 00:05:49,213 --> 00:05:51,773 Speaker 2: on the website. They have beautiful flowers, so we'll make 110 00:05:51,773 --> 00:05:53,973 Speaker 2: sure we put them up. People can see them at home. 111 00:05:54,573 --> 00:05:57,693 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 112 00:05:57,773 --> 00:06:00,613 Speaker 1: to news talks.
