I was watching the morning breakfast news that is now hosted by Corin Dann and Petra Baghurst and is just not the same as being hosted by Pippa Wetzel and the racist, bigoted, sexist Paul Henry, who was outrageous and terrible but you couldn’t take your eyes off him like a car crash because invariably he would say something so outrageous your jaw would literally drop. to. the. floor. But I am not here to get into a debate about Mr Henry.
Corin and Petra do alright, she was a bit annoying at first and they dress her badly and one day she was doing an interview standing up and the camera panned down to her legs they were so skinny and akimbo they didn’t touch all the way to her pelvis and I felt a bit sick but again I digress, she seems to be working hard to make the public like her so lets leave her be eh?
No, the reason for this blog is that I was watching the breakfast show yesterday morning, as I do, with my cup of coffee in one hand and Annie-Rose in the other and they were doing a piece on a Kiwi Surfer girl who’s just won some big title (sorry I was only listening with half an ear) and they started to chuckle because apparently when interviewed and asked how she’d handled the waves she replied in true Kiwi style….
“I smacked that crap outta that one bro!”
Nice one love. Petra then commented that that should go down alongside another famous Kiwi quotable quote, that of Sir Edmund Hillary. After he and Tensing had reached Everest’s summit Hillary said:
"We knocked the bastard off"
Kiwi’s, we tell it like it is eh?
And just while I’m here, I will introduce you all to a long time favourite breakfast team of mine, Carl and Lisa who present the breakfast news and weather in Australia. I used to love waking up to them while we worked on the Gold Coast, it was a highlight of my day. Below is a clip of Carl being his usual endearing self while interviewing the Dalai Lama.
