She ought to be she ought to 28 00:01:21,813 --> 00:01:26,213 Speaker 2: be doing my job. Yeah, that's wonderful, wonderfully colorful writing. 29 00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:27,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't it. 30 00:01:27,213 --> 00:01:28,133 Speaker 2: That is very very good. 31 00:01:28,653 --> 00:01:30,573 Speaker 3: Thank you, Anne. I've got plenty more of those messages too, 32 00:01:30,613 --> 00:01:32,133 Speaker 3: so I'll get to those in a couple of minutes. 33 00:01:32,213 --> 00:01:32,493 Speaker 2: Kevin. 34 00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:35,093 Speaker 3: A milestone for mister and missus Milne this week, or 35 00:01:35,093 --> 00:01:37,413 Speaker 3: should we say a Milne stone. 36 00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:43,173 Speaker 2: Yes, Linda and I had an important milmstone during the week. Yes. 37 00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:46,253 Speaker 2: On Wednesday, it was fifty years since our first date. 38 00:01:47,213 --> 00:01:49,293 Speaker 2: It was very much on our minds during the day, 39 00:01:49,293 --> 00:01:52,093 Speaker 2: but we didn't celebrate much. I posted a photo office 40 00:01:52,813 --> 00:01:55,973 Speaker 2: from back in our dating days on Facebook and we 41 00:01:56,093 --> 00:02:01,013 Speaker 2: dined out. Unlike birthdays, anniversaries are tricky things. It's still 42 00:02:01,053 --> 00:02:05,213 Speaker 2: three years till our fifty years golden wedding anniversary, and 43 00:02:05,253 --> 00:02:08,053 Speaker 2: that's when most couple make a fuss. But I think 44 00:02:08,093 --> 00:02:10,813 Speaker 2: more about our first date than I do about our 45 00:02:10,853 --> 00:02:14,373 Speaker 2: wedding day. It was so much at stake. Our wedding 46 00:02:14,453 --> 00:02:17,413 Speaker 2: day was enjoyable, but a process to be gone through. 47 00:02:17,813 --> 00:02:21,733 Speaker 2: When the priest said to Linda, do you take this man, etc. Etc. 48 00:02:22,413 --> 00:02:25,893 Speaker 2: I knew she'd say yes. But our first date was 49 00:02:26,093 --> 00:02:28,613 Speaker 2: risky as hell. When I leaned over to kiss Linda 50 00:02:28,653 --> 00:02:31,093 Speaker 2: good night, she could have gone, what the hell? We're 51 00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:35,613 Speaker 2: just friends after all. Most first dates don't lead to 52 00:02:35,653 --> 00:02:39,773 Speaker 2: a life together. So I reckon for me anyway, our 53 00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:43,453 Speaker 2: fifty years since our first date is a more significant 54 00:02:43,533 --> 00:02:46,453 Speaker 2: date than our golden wedding will be. I'm not even 55 00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:50,133 Speaker 2: sure we'd have got married. If we hadn't, Linda, who's 56 00:02:50,173 --> 00:02:53,093 Speaker 2: an English woman or was, would have been thrown out 57 00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:55,293 Speaker 2: of the country. It was a kind of a shotgun 58 00:02:55,333 --> 00:02:58,653 Speaker 2: wedding with the Ministry of Internal Affairs holding the rifle. 59 00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:02,413 Speaker 2: There's a third option, what young people now call I 60 00:03:02,453 --> 00:03:06,093 Speaker 2: think making it formal. The day you announce on social 61 00:03:06,133 --> 00:03:09,733 Speaker 2: media that you're now a couple. Apparently it's a bigger 62 00:03:09,773 --> 00:03:13,093 Speaker 2: deal than your first date together. But without the formality 63 00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:16,533 Speaker 2: of an engagement, Will that be the day that those 64 00:03:16,653 --> 00:03:20,773 Speaker 2: couples celebrate fifty years later. So you're going to have 65 00:03:20,813 --> 00:03:24,373 Speaker 2: a fiftieth anniversary of your first date, or the fiftieth 66 00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:27,093 Speaker 2: anniversary of the day you made it formal, or your 67 00:03:27,133 --> 00:03:30,413 Speaker 2: golden wedding day. The hope, of course, is just that 68 00:03:30,493 --> 00:03:36,013 Speaker 2: you'll last fifty years together. What what event you'd like 69 00:03:36,093 --> 00:03:38,013 Speaker 2: that to celebrate? Jack, Well, it's. 70 00:03:37,893 --> 00:03:41,973 Speaker 3: Even more complicated for me, shockingly, Kevin. But first of all, congratulations, 71 00:03:42,213 --> 00:03:44,373 Speaker 3: But that is such an achievement. That is like a 72 00:03:44,453 --> 00:03:47,333 Speaker 3: really amazing achievement, and you should both be so proud 73 00:03:47,373 --> 00:03:50,613 Speaker 3: of that because you know, it's yeah, there aren't many 74 00:03:50,653 --> 00:03:52,813 Speaker 3: couples who go fifty years in this day and age. 75 00:03:52,893 --> 00:03:55,253 Speaker 3: So do you know the term for when you're launched 76 00:03:55,253 --> 00:03:56,813 Speaker 3: it on social media? Do you know what they call it? 77 00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:59,493 Speaker 2: I think is it called something like making it formal? 78 00:03:59,533 --> 00:04:03,413 Speaker 3: It's called it called a hard launch, a hard launch, 79 00:04:03,573 --> 00:04:05,693 Speaker 3: So that's it. So yeah, I mean I feel like 80 00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:08,613 Speaker 3: you've probably been hard launched in the women's magazines or 81 00:04:08,653 --> 00:04:11,493 Speaker 3: something already, so it probably doesn't. But when so, that's 82 00:04:11,493 --> 00:04:13,133 Speaker 3: when you go on your social media you put a 83 00:04:13,133 --> 00:04:15,093 Speaker 3: photo up. I had to check with my producer Libby, 84 00:04:15,133 --> 00:04:17,173 Speaker 3: because of course this isn't something I'd ever be interested in. 85 00:04:17,253 --> 00:04:19,973 Speaker 3: But when you go and when you go and put 86 00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:22,493 Speaker 3: a photo of you and your and your partner up 87 00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:25,853 Speaker 3: on social media, and inevitably all your friends immediately make 88 00:04:25,893 --> 00:04:30,133 Speaker 3: comments after underneath saying like ooh. But the reason it's 89 00:04:30,133 --> 00:04:32,293 Speaker 3: more complicated for me is because so we had the 90 00:04:32,333 --> 00:04:38,893 Speaker 3: first date, but then we also got married twice. Yes, yeah, 91 00:04:39,133 --> 00:04:42,973 Speaker 3: so it's like, so even even celebrating our wedding anniversary 92 00:04:43,013 --> 00:04:45,573 Speaker 3: is difficult because I always think we had a we 93 00:04:45,613 --> 00:04:47,493 Speaker 3: had a marriage, and then we had a wedding. That's 94 00:04:47,493 --> 00:04:49,213 Speaker 3: how I tell myself, because we got married at the 95 00:04:49,253 --> 00:04:51,573 Speaker 3: kitchen table because my wife's aid behind and it was 96 00:04:51,573 --> 00:04:54,453 Speaker 3: really important for us to be married before we lived together. 97 00:04:54,533 --> 00:04:57,373 Speaker 3: So we got married at the kitchen table, and then 98 00:04:58,053 --> 00:05:00,613 Speaker 3: eight months later or whatever, we had a wedding, so 99 00:05:00,813 --> 00:05:03,013 Speaker 3: we sort of have multiple anniversaries. And then of course 100 00:05:03,013 --> 00:05:04,973 Speaker 3: we have the first date as well, so it's like 101 00:05:05,053 --> 00:05:06,173 Speaker 3: getting a bit over the top. 102 00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:09,973 Speaker 2: To be perfectly, you're left to select one of the two. 103 00:05:10,053 --> 00:05:11,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly, So it's. 104 00:05:12,213 --> 00:05:15,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a bit fifty years. It's just great. 105 00:05:15,733 --> 00:05:19,053 Speaker 2: It's what your hope, what your dream will happen, you know, 106 00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:23,613 Speaker 2: and you know it might not and and so yeah. 107 00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:27,613 Speaker 3: Well it's always a punch because you're a sector effectively 108 00:05:27,653 --> 00:05:31,293 Speaker 3: selecting someone that you hope you will grow with, don't 109 00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,973 Speaker 3: you Because because the person you are today is inevitably 110 00:05:34,053 --> 00:05:35,533 Speaker 3: in some way is going to be different to the 111 00:05:35,533 --> 00:05:37,613 Speaker 3: person you were fifty years ago. But you sort of 112 00:05:37,613 --> 00:05:40,693 Speaker 3: hope that you're underlying values and your underlying persona or 113 00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:43,693 Speaker 3: character is such that you'll both grow in the same 114 00:05:43,733 --> 00:05:46,013 Speaker 3: direction and be able to kind of support each other 115 00:05:46,053 --> 00:05:50,253 Speaker 3: to flourish in that time. Yes, yeah, exactly, it's really 116 00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:53,813 Speaker 3: lovely Kevin. Congratulations and please pass on our congrats to 117 00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:56,373 Speaker 3: your better half as well. Thanks again for your feedback 118 00:05:56,373 --> 00:05:59,693 Speaker 3: this morning. Jack, Neither Elon Musk or Donald Trump are winners. 119 00:06:00,053 --> 00:06:02,733 Speaker 3: They're the biggest losers ever America in the world deserve 120 00:06:02,813 --> 00:06:04,813 Speaker 3: better than this horrible, horrible circus. 121 00:06:05,493 --> 00:06:05,733 Speaker 2: Jack. 122 00:06:05,773 --> 00:06:08,733 Speaker 3: The longer the wobble goes on, the better And Jack 123 00:06:08,853 --> 00:06:11,493 Speaker 3: very typical of mainstream media to spread a negative narrative 124 00:06:11,493 --> 00:06:14,013 Speaker 3: about Elon Musk. He's the most brilliant person in the world. 125 00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:17,613 Speaker 3: I certainly think that he's brilliant, but I just think 126 00:06:17,613 --> 00:06:22,253 Speaker 3: he's an incredibly flawed character as well. And yeah, when 127 00:06:22,253 --> 00:06:26,333 Speaker 3: it comes to you know two, arguably somewhat brilliant and 128 00:06:26,493 --> 00:06:30,733 Speaker 3: arguably flawed characters having a public feud of this magnitude. 129 00:06:31,053 --> 00:06:32,813 Speaker 3: I just think that Donald Trump is likely to come 130 00:06:32,813 --> 00:06:33,293 Speaker 3: out on top. 131 00:06:34,213 --> 00:06:37,333 Speaker 1: For more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame, listen live 132 00:06:37,413 --> 00:06:40,573 Speaker 1: to News Talks B from nine am Saturday, or follow 133 00:06:40,653 --> 00:06:42,213 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio.
