1 00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:10,493 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast 2 00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,733 Speaker 1: from News Talk ZEDB. 3 00:00:12,893 --> 00:00:17,213 Speaker 2: Kevin Meln is here with us. Held to Kevin Jack. 4 00:00:17,253 --> 00:00:21,293 Speaker 3: I'm also quite obsessed about the whole Biden issue, and 5 00:00:21,853 --> 00:00:24,493 Speaker 3: of course it's interesting from somebody of my age because 6 00:00:25,933 --> 00:00:28,533 Speaker 3: I'm only six years behind him and. 7 00:00:28,493 --> 00:00:31,893 Speaker 4: You've got your edge though, Kevin, You're you're sharp as attack, come. 8 00:00:31,733 --> 00:00:35,213 Speaker 3: On, sort of becoming news Talks ZBS. 9 00:00:35,293 --> 00:00:37,733 Speaker 4: Biden really well, you know, I mean, the thing is, 10 00:00:37,893 --> 00:00:40,173 Speaker 4: the thing is, it's not actually anything to do with 11 00:00:40,213 --> 00:00:42,893 Speaker 4: his age. It's not that he's too old to be 12 00:00:43,013 --> 00:00:47,813 Speaker 4: president necessarily. It's just that he clearly has some issues 13 00:00:48,213 --> 00:00:51,333 Speaker 4: that might be caused by, you know, but by his 14 00:00:51,533 --> 00:00:54,373 Speaker 4: relatively advanced age when it comes to coherence and when 15 00:00:54,413 --> 00:00:56,333 Speaker 4: it comes to communication and when it comes to being 16 00:00:56,373 --> 00:00:59,173 Speaker 4: really sharp and unfortunately a big part of being president 17 00:00:59,213 --> 00:01:01,293 Speaker 4: requires you to be coherent and to be a really 18 00:01:01,333 --> 00:01:02,253 Speaker 4: good communicator. 19 00:01:03,493 --> 00:01:07,453 Speaker 3: It's not yea, I think it also, you know, just 20 00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:11,453 Speaker 3: have to watch some walk across a stage. He's having 21 00:01:11,533 --> 00:01:13,773 Speaker 3: a lot of difficate he just with his movement. Yeah 22 00:01:13,893 --> 00:01:16,613 Speaker 3: and yeah and yeah. 23 00:01:16,813 --> 00:01:20,813 Speaker 4: So it's so so I reckon that it'll be decided 24 00:01:20,853 --> 00:01:23,173 Speaker 4: in the next couple of weeks. Basically, like, if they're 25 00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:25,053 Speaker 4: going to do it, it has to be before the convention, 26 00:01:25,253 --> 00:01:27,933 Speaker 4: and and now that this NATO thing is over, Yeah, 27 00:01:28,653 --> 00:01:30,693 Speaker 4: I still think he will be forced out. 28 00:01:30,693 --> 00:01:33,813 Speaker 2: But I'm you know, I'm history showing I'm a terrible, 29 00:01:33,933 --> 00:01:36,013 Speaker 2: terrible at predicting these things. So who knows? 30 00:01:36,333 --> 00:01:39,573 Speaker 3: Can I confirm with you? Yeah, because it's not clear 31 00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:43,213 Speaker 3: to me. Can he be thrown out? Does he have to? 32 00:01:44,013 --> 00:01:44,093 Speaker 4: Is? 33 00:01:45,133 --> 00:01:46,253 Speaker 3: Can he be checked out? 34 00:01:46,653 --> 00:01:50,653 Speaker 4: He can't really at the moment. No, But but if 35 00:01:51,573 --> 00:01:54,773 Speaker 4: I mean basically, once it is all confirmed at the convention, 36 00:01:54,893 --> 00:01:57,893 Speaker 4: which is next month, then he's one hundred percent locked in, 37 00:01:58,293 --> 00:02:01,253 Speaker 4: but he can effectively be forced out. So at the moment, 38 00:02:01,253 --> 00:02:04,253 Speaker 4: he's got delegates around the country who who support him, 39 00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:07,213 Speaker 4: but he can. But basically, the way way to get 40 00:02:07,253 --> 00:02:09,893 Speaker 4: him out will be for some senior people whom he 41 00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:12,413 Speaker 4: respects to go and have a conversation with him and say, look, 42 00:02:12,773 --> 00:02:14,893 Speaker 4: you've lost the you've lost the support of all of 43 00:02:14,893 --> 00:02:17,973 Speaker 4: your colleagues, and actually, you know, I'm sorry you got 44 00:02:17,973 --> 00:02:20,013 Speaker 4: to go. And I think there will be it, But 45 00:02:20,253 --> 00:02:22,853 Speaker 4: if it does happen, it's gonna be very very intriguing. 46 00:02:22,933 --> 00:02:23,853 Speaker 2: Hey, before we kick off. 47 00:02:23,893 --> 00:02:26,573 Speaker 4: Kevin, we just got to check because this time last 48 00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:28,653 Speaker 4: week you were debating whether or not to watch the 49 00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:30,293 Speaker 4: All Backs or whether or not to go to a play. 50 00:02:30,333 --> 00:02:31,693 Speaker 2: What did you decide in the end. 51 00:02:32,053 --> 00:02:36,973 Speaker 3: Well, my daughter went to the play, and I feel 52 00:02:37,133 --> 00:02:39,813 Speaker 3: very I feel a bit shabby about that, really, wow, 53 00:02:39,853 --> 00:02:41,893 Speaker 3: because I could have watched the game later on in 54 00:02:41,893 --> 00:02:47,173 Speaker 3: the evening. Yeah, but uh, and now I probably won't 55 00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:48,013 Speaker 3: get to see the play. 56 00:02:48,173 --> 00:02:50,293 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, relevant you learn, Kevin. 57 00:02:50,493 --> 00:02:55,533 Speaker 4: Yeah, And anyway you have, you have been enjoying something 58 00:02:55,613 --> 00:02:59,853 Speaker 4: else this week. Transpowers explanation about how that pylon fell over. 59 00:02:59,773 --> 00:03:04,533 Speaker 3: Up North, there's something about that so amusing. I enjoyed 60 00:03:04,573 --> 00:03:08,853 Speaker 3: seeing on the newsless week a repeat of the transfer 61 00:03:08,893 --> 00:03:13,973 Speaker 3: response as to why the pylon fell over. I acknowledge 62 00:03:14,013 --> 00:03:16,853 Speaker 3: that the incident caused havoc, and that's why it was 63 00:03:16,933 --> 00:03:20,213 Speaker 3: being replayed on one news because one of the companies 64 00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:22,173 Speaker 3: was saying they lost millions out of the whole thing. 65 00:03:22,693 --> 00:03:27,693 Speaker 3: But Transpower's response makes me smile for some reason every 66 00:03:27,693 --> 00:03:31,453 Speaker 3: time I watch it. Transpewer's investigation into why the pylon 67 00:03:31,533 --> 00:03:35,733 Speaker 3: fell over seemed to reveal that the nuts bolting three 68 00:03:35,733 --> 00:03:38,493 Speaker 3: of the four legs of the pylon to the ground 69 00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:43,533 Speaker 3: had been removed at the same time by people working 70 00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:48,133 Speaker 3: on it. This would seem ill advised. At the very least. 71 00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:55,813 Speaker 3: Trans spokesperson couldn't believe it. Quote it's unprecedented and inconceivable 72 00:03:56,293 --> 00:04:00,693 Speaker 3: that so many nuts were removed at once. She followed 73 00:04:00,773 --> 00:04:05,053 Speaker 3: us up with we've appointed an external party to undertake 74 00:04:05,093 --> 00:04:09,293 Speaker 3: a full investigation into the cause of the fallen tower. Now, 75 00:04:09,293 --> 00:04:13,053 Speaker 3: I'd have thought Transparer already had their answer. If you 76 00:04:13,173 --> 00:04:15,693 Speaker 3: take off too many nuts holding a pile one up, 77 00:04:16,133 --> 00:04:19,773 Speaker 3: it is going to fall over. Jacket Jack. It reminds 78 00:04:19,813 --> 00:04:23,093 Speaker 3: me of the great John clarkskit about the front falling 79 00:04:23,093 --> 00:04:23,733 Speaker 3: off the oil. 80 00:04:25,053 --> 00:04:27,093 Speaker 2: Did you think yeah fell off? 81 00:04:28,293 --> 00:04:32,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon. Too many nuts removed at once to 82 00:04:32,413 --> 00:04:36,773 Speaker 3: get an award for simplicity in corporate communications. My lads 83 00:04:36,773 --> 00:04:39,213 Speaker 3: in London thought it was a crack up. It's in 84 00:04:39,573 --> 00:04:43,173 Speaker 3: that same category as the COT's advice for the vella 85 00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:46,293 Speaker 3: he picked up at three in the morning. You're buying 86 00:04:46,293 --> 00:04:50,493 Speaker 3: a pie at the BP service station. You what you 87 00:04:50,613 --> 00:04:54,493 Speaker 3: must always do. It's been in the warming dwell for 88 00:04:54,573 --> 00:04:59,493 Speaker 3: about twelve hours. It'll be thermal nuclear You must always 89 00:04:59,613 --> 00:05:03,853 Speaker 3: blow on the pie. Save the communities together. Remember that 90 00:05:03,893 --> 00:05:07,733 Speaker 3: one day, I certainly do. Yeah, and I think it 91 00:05:07,813 --> 00:05:11,093 Speaker 3: was on one of those crop shows. Yeah, it's same 92 00:05:11,213 --> 00:05:17,133 Speaker 3: sort of thing, just classic sort of explanations for things 93 00:05:17,213 --> 00:05:21,053 Speaker 3: and classic key week quotes. Yeah. So I just thend 94 00:05:21,053 --> 00:05:25,253 Speaker 3: by saying that we're talking safe communities together. Listeners. Never 95 00:05:25,573 --> 00:05:30,933 Speaker 3: remove jimminy nuts of a nylon pylon at the same time. 96 00:05:31,573 --> 00:05:32,573 Speaker 3: It'll fall over. 97 00:05:33,933 --> 00:05:34,773 Speaker 2: It certainly will. 98 00:05:34,773 --> 00:05:39,733 Speaker 4: And we don't need independent investigation costing, however, only tens. 99 00:05:39,493 --> 00:05:41,493 Speaker 2: Of thousands of dollars to work that out. Yeah. 100 00:05:41,693 --> 00:05:44,253 Speaker 3: I think you take all the nuts, well three. 101 00:05:44,053 --> 00:05:46,693 Speaker 2: Of those legs and see you later. Yeah. 102 00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:52,013 Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit of a breeze and away she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
