What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Nice guy. When did we last have him on the show? I'm going to say, as Sam looks it up, I'm going to say he was last here in 2021. Josh Groban, of course, he's back with Cinematic. 2020, it wasn't bad. Was it late 2020? Very late 2020. See, look, I'm getting better at this game. Every now and again when I guess these numbers and I'm way out, I think, oh, my mind's gone. Might as well quit. But no, that was a good guess, so I'm back for another couple of years now. Where was I? Josh Groban, cinematic, 10 tracks, 40 minutes and 45 seconds. Most of the songs are from films of the 20th century. When You Wish Upon a Star, back from the Disneys in 1940. Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Elton John is in there. So it's just Josh doing a whole lot of, you know, what Josh does.
It's eight minutes past eight. The Week in Review with Two Degrees. Bringing smart business solutions to the table. Tim Wilson's with us along with Kate Hawkesby. Good morning to you both.
Good morning.
Good morning. Now, we have to – I'm right about awards. Here we go. Oh, boy, here we go.
No. You've got a pop quiz for us, or we've got to mark something out of 10?
No, I just said – just before the 8 o'clock news, I'm right about awards. Awards have gone to the dogs, haven't they? It's just a bunch of left-leaning whiners, whinges, and bitches, and the fun is no longer there. Do you have awards in your world? Tim, what's your world? What would you call the world that you operate in currently? What's that world? I don't think there's such a thing as the Think Tank Oscars, so no, we don't have that. So you don't have a Think Tank? Well, our team here at NZME, our in-house legal team, won the Best Small Team Award at the In-House Legal Team Awards.
Well, open a bottle of Fanta and share the chicken pieces around.
What I'm saying is if there's an in-house legal team award, surely there's a think tank awards, isn't there? You know what? I think the think tank Oscars.
They probably won that award because they were kept so busy with all the legal letters and threats of lawsuits you get.
That's true. There's nothing wrong with coming to the office with a full desk of work ahead of you.
That's right. They know it.
The other thing I must raise with you two people is it's Sam. Sam produces Sam. Guess what's significant about today for Sam? Oh, no. Is he being replaced by Freddie? No.
No.
Don't think we didn't consider that. We had a meeting about that Wednesday, actually. That's with a small team. And just to save you a guess, no, his new tangerine three-piece from Vietnam is not arriving today. That's a week late. Tomorrow is Sam's 10-year anniversary.
Oh, that's amazing. Gosh, that makes me feel old.
What, 10 years at ZB?
I feel like Sam and I started together.
Well, you probably did.
You are old.
Amazing.
So how old was Sam when he started? Eight. He was 12. No, he's eight. Oh, sorry. He's eight. His mum said you go straight from primary school, Sam, because that NCEA looks a bit complex for you. You go try your hand in radio.
What awards are being discussed and why are they controversial?
Sam really worked so, so, so, so, so hard. He does. I know he still does. But when he first started too, he just – He used to work hard. No, you're right. He used to work hard. He did everything. He hosted overnights if they needed him to. There was nothing Sam didn't do. He worked his butt off, so he deserves to be where he is now, which is on the big show.
So what's happening? Are you shouting morning tea?
What's going on? I don't know if I can say. Do you know what you're getting for the 10 years or not? Oh, no, he doesn't. Sam says he doesn't even know it's 10 years.
Oh, maybe it was a surprise and you've ruined it.
I think I probably have. Because here's the next thing. We got him a gift.
Don't say what it is because that's for Sam.
No, do it.
Pull the trigger.
I want to do it because there's two things. No, there's two problems here. There's two problems. Problem number one, I want to say it because it's a cool gift. I had nothing to do with it. And so once again, it's Anne-Marie and Will who run these things. So they got him a cool gift, and I thought, what a cool gift.
