1 00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,453 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack team podcast 2 00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:11,773 Speaker 1: from News Talks. 3 00:00:11,453 --> 00:00:15,613 Speaker 2: There'd be time to catch up with Kevin Milne, Kevin. 4 00:00:16,093 --> 00:00:20,253 Speaker 3: Marian A Jack. First up, Can I just mention something 5 00:00:20,293 --> 00:00:24,813 Speaker 3: that's been bugging me all week about Sam Ruth's sensational 6 00:00:24,893 --> 00:00:28,653 Speaker 3: mile in Boston. Sure, we're both athletics tragics, aren't we. Yeah, 7 00:00:28,733 --> 00:00:31,853 Speaker 3: everyone's been saying you broke John Walker's forty four year 8 00:00:31,853 --> 00:00:35,853 Speaker 3: old New Zealand mile record. No he did not. Sam 9 00:00:35,933 --> 00:00:38,933 Speaker 3: ran his race on an indoor track and John Walker's 10 00:00:38,933 --> 00:00:42,813 Speaker 3: Oslo New Zealand record was run outdoors. You can't break 11 00:00:43,053 --> 00:00:46,333 Speaker 3: an outdoor record running indoors, even if you run a 12 00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:50,253 Speaker 3: faster time, which Sam did. That's just the rules. Yep, 13 00:00:50,373 --> 00:00:54,733 Speaker 3: Sam's broken the New Zealand indoor record or short track 14 00:00:54,773 --> 00:00:58,093 Speaker 3: as they say, but not John Walker's outdoor record. 15 00:00:58,373 --> 00:01:02,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I totally, I totally agree with you on 16 00:01:02,053 --> 00:01:04,133 Speaker 2: that one. And actually Sam Ruth would be the first 17 00:01:04,173 --> 00:01:06,853 Speaker 2: to say that, like anyone who follows Athleat knows that 18 00:01:06,893 --> 00:01:10,173 Speaker 2: indoor and outdoor record aren't usually compared. So yeah, it 19 00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:12,133 Speaker 2: has been a little bit sloppy, but thank you for 20 00:01:12,653 --> 00:01:14,973 Speaker 2: clearing that up. It was just extraordinary a I watched 21 00:01:15,013 --> 00:01:17,773 Speaker 2: that race about three times. Weren't watching it about three times. 22 00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:21,213 Speaker 2: It's just so so good to see, and really you 23 00:01:21,213 --> 00:01:24,893 Speaker 2: don't want to kind of jinx anything, obviously, but it is, 24 00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:28,013 Speaker 2: you know, astonishing to think if he's achieved this at sixteen, 25 00:01:28,093 --> 00:01:31,893 Speaker 2: what he might have achieved by twenty five or thirty. 26 00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:36,013 Speaker 2: But Kevin, speaking of athletic prowess, you have been banned 27 00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:38,653 Speaker 2: from buying a house this week. 28 00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:45,453 Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. Really, last week Linda showed me pictures 29 00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:50,213 Speaker 3: of a house for sale. Now it turned into a 30 00:01:50,253 --> 00:01:54,173 Speaker 3: major disagreement. Not a fight, not even an argument, but 31 00:01:54,253 --> 00:01:57,973 Speaker 3: a disagreement that could not be solved. We weren't looking 32 00:01:58,013 --> 00:02:00,733 Speaker 3: for a house. She just thought that this particular place 33 00:02:01,053 --> 00:02:04,773 Speaker 3: was stunning. When I looked at the pictures, I agreed, 34 00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:09,253 Speaker 3: it looks spectacle killer inside and out and well priced. 35 00:02:09,813 --> 00:02:13,013 Speaker 3: So I said, let's go look through it. She replied, 36 00:02:13,373 --> 00:02:16,573 Speaker 3: you're joking. I don't want to move, and it's a 37 00:02:16,653 --> 00:02:19,853 Speaker 3: three level house. You're too old for that. Your attack 38 00:02:19,893 --> 00:02:23,253 Speaker 3: a fall, and no time what with your arthritic knee. 39 00:02:24,413 --> 00:02:27,413 Speaker 3: I talked Linda into coming with me to the open home. 40 00:02:28,093 --> 00:02:32,093 Speaker 3: This was no ordinary house. Jackets designed by architect Roger Walker, 41 00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:35,733 Speaker 3: one of New Zealand's face innovative architects. When I walked 42 00:02:35,813 --> 00:02:39,773 Speaker 3: through and up and down the house, I fell utterly 43 00:02:39,813 --> 00:02:43,093 Speaker 3: in love with it. It was my dream home. But 44 00:02:43,093 --> 00:02:48,133 Speaker 3: as Brian Ferry once sang, in every dream Home a heartache, 45 00:02:48,813 --> 00:02:52,853 Speaker 3: Linda was not in love with it. She agreed it 46 00:02:52,973 --> 00:02:57,213 Speaker 3: looked stunning, but totally inappropriate for a man of my 47 00:02:57,413 --> 00:03:01,413 Speaker 3: physical shortcomings. She couldn't believe I was even thinking of 48 00:03:01,493 --> 00:03:04,933 Speaker 3: buying it. A house built on so many levels, I'd 49 00:03:04,973 --> 00:03:09,573 Speaker 3: be sliding down the gorgeous, polished remu circular stairs and 50 00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:14,133 Speaker 3: no time she'd be left nursing me. No way, and 51 00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:17,653 Speaker 3: that was it, really move on. I could hardly file 52 00:03:17,733 --> 00:03:21,413 Speaker 3: for divorce and run away with the house. I like 53 00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:24,213 Speaker 3: Linda too much, and she's saved me from myself on 54 00:03:24,373 --> 00:03:28,733 Speaker 3: previous real estate matters. The fact was I'd fallen in 55 00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:33,013 Speaker 3: love with an unbelievably impressive structure that I was too 56 00:03:33,053 --> 00:03:37,813 Speaker 3: old for. I needed to act my age. Getting old 57 00:03:37,813 --> 00:03:41,733 Speaker 3: can be gloomy Jack. It now appears I'm too old 58 00:03:41,773 --> 00:03:45,453 Speaker 3: for certain types of houses. But one thing I'm grateful 59 00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:48,533 Speaker 3: for that my gorgeous Linda doesn't consider me too old 60 00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:49,573 Speaker 3: for her as well. 61 00:03:51,053 --> 00:03:54,013 Speaker 2: Well said, Well said, Now Kevin sent me through the 62 00:03:54,533 --> 00:03:56,093 Speaker 2: images so I could have a little bit of a 63 00:03:56,093 --> 00:03:58,173 Speaker 2: look at the house. And I've got to say, Kevin, 64 00:03:58,933 --> 00:04:03,333 Speaker 2: I think Linda has been really wise and there's no 65 00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:06,253 Speaker 2: criticism of you. I think it would be as good 66 00:04:06,573 --> 00:04:08,933 Speaker 2: as the houses. I think it would also be inappropriate 67 00:04:08,933 --> 00:04:12,133 Speaker 2: for us right now with little ones I just there are. 68 00:04:12,173 --> 00:04:14,653 Speaker 2: It's not like one or two, you know, two or 69 00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:17,093 Speaker 2: three levels. There there are many, many levels. It's an 70 00:04:17,093 --> 00:04:20,973 Speaker 2: absolute Roger Walker classic funny a how you can see 71 00:04:21,173 --> 00:04:24,093 Speaker 2: Like I looked at one photo and immediately I was like, oh, 72 00:04:24,133 --> 00:04:26,933 Speaker 2: that looks like a Roger Walker house. Roger we should, 73 00:04:26,973 --> 00:04:30,493 Speaker 2: we should for anyone who doesn't necessarily recognize it. If 74 00:04:30,533 --> 00:04:34,293 Speaker 2: you're you know those what is it the thingy Mews 75 00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:35,653 Speaker 2: in Wellington, isn't it? 76 00:04:38,053 --> 00:04:40,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, you go past from when you drive to the airport. 77 00:04:40,173 --> 00:04:43,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, park news, park news, when you're when you're when 78 00:04:43,613 --> 00:04:46,493 Speaker 2: you're driving through her tie tie or another one that 79 00:04:46,533 --> 00:04:49,453 Speaker 2: you can immediately recognize as Roger Walker. Have you ever 80 00:04:49,493 --> 00:04:54,293 Speaker 2: flown into Fatany airport is a classic Roger Walker. 81 00:04:54,653 --> 00:04:58,053 Speaker 3: It's usually you can use windows. 82 00:04:57,653 --> 00:05:00,413 Speaker 2: Round windows and turrets. It's like a it's like a 83 00:05:00,493 --> 00:05:04,413 Speaker 2: kind of fantasy little mini castle in a way, it's 84 00:05:04,413 --> 00:05:08,053 Speaker 2: almost like a child's drawing. And yeah, yeah, that's how 85 00:05:08,053 --> 00:05:10,773 Speaker 2: you can tell Roger Walker. Yep, turrets, secular. 86 00:05:10,453 --> 00:05:15,893 Speaker 3: One brickwork, suppose beams, yeah, which I just love everything 87 00:05:15,973 --> 00:05:17,453 Speaker 3: built to perfection. 88 00:05:17,173 --> 00:05:21,213 Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, maybe a prudent core 89 00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:22,173 Speaker 2: from your better heart. 90 00:05:23,613 --> 00:05:26,813 Speaker 3: It's an awful thought that it's a horrible thought that Jack, 91 00:05:26,933 --> 00:05:33,173 Speaker 3: or very well for you. But I'm like, I'm I'm yeah, 92 00:05:34,893 --> 00:05:36,813 Speaker 3: non anymore. 93 00:05:36,853 --> 00:05:39,013 Speaker 2: I couldn't. I couldn't be doing it either, given honestly, 94 00:05:39,053 --> 00:05:41,693 Speaker 2: with my with my joints, I couldn't be doing it either. 95 00:05:41,693 --> 00:05:44,413 Speaker 2: If it makes you feel any better. When we were 96 00:05:44,453 --> 00:05:46,733 Speaker 2: looking for a place, I mean, I dream of living 97 00:05:46,733 --> 00:05:49,773 Speaker 2: in the bush, So I dream of of like living, 98 00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:53,173 Speaker 2: you know, really like enclosed in the bush somewhere. And 99 00:05:53,533 --> 00:05:55,813 Speaker 2: my wife has had similar conversations with me, and see 100 00:05:55,853 --> 00:05:58,533 Speaker 2: the actually, Jack, it's probably not entirely practical with the 101 00:05:58,533 --> 00:06:02,413 Speaker 2: life you're living right now. So look, sometimes sometimes you know, 102 00:06:02,453 --> 00:06:07,253 Speaker 2: the best relationships have have someone who's seduced, you know, 103 00:06:07,373 --> 00:06:10,253 Speaker 2: by the romanticism of a place, and someone who can 104 00:06:10,293 --> 00:06:12,733 Speaker 2: maybe temper things a little bit it's a pagnotism from 105 00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:13,333 Speaker 2: time to time. 106 00:06:14,453 --> 00:06:21,053 Speaker 3: Very wise, Thank you very much.

Someone says, I think 111 00:06:26,813 --> 00:06:28,773 Speaker 2: the problem is that you'd need about six lifts or 112 00:06:28,813 --> 00:06:30,573 Speaker 2: seven lifts in this particular option. 113 00:06:31,453 --> 00:06:34,533 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 114 00:06:34,653 --> 00:06:37,813 Speaker 1: to News talks'd B from nine am Saturday, or follow 115 00:06:37,853 --> 00:06:39,453 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
