You're listening to a podcast from news Talk, said B.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrapody there and welcome to the rewrap for Friday. All
the best bits from the my casting breakfast on news Talk,
said B. In a sillier package, I am Glenhart today,
oil and where we get ours from? Not our oil,
but the stuff that we like that it's made out
of it. EV's this messive change in heart from the
(00:49):
husk on EV's will mark the week. No change of
heart there. It is Friday. It's what we do and
what rocket Lab is currently up to. But before any
of that rough week for the Donald a poor little guy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Obviously, Chriss Hipkins would disagree, but Donald Trump surely wins
the crap week of the week away given as weak
as material outcomes for all of us, and Hepkins is
just a personal mess on ugly in public. The war
itself doesn't appear to be any different at the end
of week three than it was at the end of
week two, or indeed week one. Every indication as a
run as being obliterated. They had three major kills this week,
and the fact that we have yet to actually see
(01:25):
or hear the new supreme leader. Indicates the suggestion he's
dead or disfigured rings more true by the day. The
attacks on golf facilities show a Ranian desperation. The number
of attacks continues to drop massively. The Marines are on
the way. The B twos are dropping the mass of
five thousand kg bombs around the Strait to presumably clear
the way for them. So war wise, nothing new to report. Really.
(01:45):
Trump could call it off any moment and claim victory, remembering,
of course, claiming something is not always the reality but massive.
But he asked for help on the Strait and short
of the French possibly once it's all settled and the
sun is out, he got nothing. In fact, he got
worse than nothing. He got the middle finger. A world
weary of his arrogance, threats and bullying over lordiness told
(02:07):
him to get stuffed. It's not our problem, at which
point he went straight to his baby act, whining and
bleeding and moaning. The Strait is a problem, and he
made it so. Whether than never planned for it, thought
about it doesn't matter. They created it, and his voters
are paying a fortune for gas. The market is thinking
the two things he cares most about the dow and
the bloke at the bowser aren't working for him, and
(02:28):
that's why still this thing will end sooner rather than later.
Small side note when he says America doesn't need the
straight half of America's generic medicine comes from India. India
gets their material through the Gulf. There isn't an American
not on a pillar a potion. So he hurts them
at the pump, and he hurts them at Walgreens. It's
a disaster, so he has to fix it. They said
(02:49):
four to six, They still say four to six. It'll
be more six than four, but the stakes are too high.
Not in Iran, but in Ohio, Minnesota and Georgia. That's
where the real war is.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So I know the thing that you're most worried about
is what's happening with our flights in may.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Do Bai.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And we've bought different flights now and we're just waiting
to see because at the moment, Emirates is doing full
refunds up to about the fifteenth of April or the
nineteenth of April or something. So we've gone from wanting
the water end to now wanting it to continue. That's
bad of us, isn't it. We shouldn't want that.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Okay, it's got rewrap.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
There's a lot of complicated equations going on in these
traffic types, you know, like the sandwich equation. You know,
sandwich meths. What do you mean? You don't know?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Why are we so depended on twenty percent of oil?
That's my great equation I've been trying to You've got
one hundred sandwiches, right. First of all, the straight up
hor moss is not closed. It's limited, so oil to Pakistan, India, China,
and russia's getting through. So there is still oil in
the world, and so maybe eighty five percent of the
world oil is available now. So if you've got one
hundred sandwiches and suddenly you only got eighty five sandwiches, no,
(04:05):
you don't have as much sandwiches, but you still got
a lot of sandwiches. So generally the price goes up,
which then affects demand, which is exactly what's happening. Of course,
So there's still lots and lots of oil out there,
so it's not like there is no oil. Hence I'm
not convinced that we're actually going to run out. Hence
we don't need necessarily a worst case scenario.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
As long as we can get somebody to share the sandwich,
h I mean. And also not all sandwiches are created equal.
Like if you've got a veggiemite and some I'm going
to a chip sandwich, awesome. If you've got a cottage
cheese and neplecock jam sandwich. So yeah, how do you
share all that around easily? You can't rewrap no oil
(04:49):
based sandwiches. For the husk of Thay, it sounds like
he's going electric if he can get the sign off
from the metal manager.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Obviously we should turn you from the New Zealander of
the Year awards last night. Young New Zealander Lucy Blackiston,
who's founder and CEO, Shit you should care about Senior
New Zealander doctor Ellen and Hayes Curve volunteer Medical Missions
to Palestine. Innovator of the Years Craig Piggot, who's with
Halter which is an agriteq innovation company, and Sustainability Leader
of the Year was my mile mate Mike Casey with
(05:19):
the cherries and the electric harvest is in Christy. In fact,
I was talking off here with Rod because Mike put
me on to I hope I'm not giving away confidences here.
But Mike put me onto Rod because Rod's got a
ty Can Turbos electric car. So Mike was trying to
get me to buy an electric car. And he goes,
if you want an electric car, talk to Rod. Rod's
(05:39):
got the ty Can from Turbos drive that I'd already
driven one. So anyway, I've started the conversation this week
with my wife hasn't gone well. Obviously, she was at
the dentist yesterday and her dentist collects Porsches, which gives
you a good indication of probably why you should become
a dentist. Anyway, he collects Porsches, and she's at the
(06:00):
dentist and he goes, what's your trigger points on evs?
And she goes, quote unquote, I would rather walk than
buy an EV. He goes me too, or cycle because
he's a cyclist. He cycles for an hour and fifteen
every day, so he's got his collection of Porsches and
his bicycles, so he's not buying an EV Put a
bike rack on a Porsche. No bike racks on the Porsche.
(06:23):
Now he doesn't. But having said that, I'm in the
business I'm close to being in the business of possibly
looking at an EV because I'm thinking to myself, why not,
when's a better time than an oil crisis to get
into this business of evs. So I broached that this
week in a really casual let's not make it a
conversation or anything official with you know who, and didn't go.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, You've had a lot of people in your ear
about because Stephen Joyce last week.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Jeben Joyce was here a chairman of the board. Form
of financement compulsory.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
When you drive an EV yourself, you just want to
make yourself feel better about it by insisting that other
people should get one too.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Is something that could be something in that. Actually he's
a Pollstar driver and he loves the Polestar. I would
get another Polestar.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It's a bit like the conversations. I don't know if
you found yourself having one of these conversations where people
are talking about what they're what they've been watching on TV,
and of course it's entirely dependent on what streaming services
they've subscribed to or if they aren't subscribe to any
at all. So we've got friends, for example, who just
can't bring themselves to pay for TV. So they're just
(07:27):
watching stuff on TV's a you know plus, and they
love everything that's on it, of course, And of course
we haven't watched any of that stuff because who can
watch TV with ads in the middle of it. Nobody can.
We're so past that now, and we're trying to get
them to watch things that are on Apple TV and
they don't know anything about them. And yeah, it's a
bit the same with EV's, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
The re wrap?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Holy Friday? Let's mark the week.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Time now to mark the week, little piece of news
and current events. It's as popular as a good old
fashioned station wagon. Give them they carry more jury cant
are the war three three Glenn thank you. Week three
was the worst week for Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
By a mile.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Ask for help, got none packed sad the Warriors nine.
You literally can't start any better than they have in
the nights of this week. So three from three. Chris
Hipkins two wata wag who needs that sort of crap?
As a result of the Hipkins week, the Sharden Freud
Brigade too, wata we need that sort of crap? House
(08:29):
Price is six on the move and in the right direction,
and record levels of first time buyers, so I think
we might actually be in some sort of sweet spot
of them at the moment. GDP six I mean in
the right direction, lacking the heft some thought it might have,
but on a per capita basis not the end of
the world. Hence the feeling that the recovery is widespread.
Dairy auctions nine every one bar one a winner so
(08:50):
far this year, kind of like the Warriors. It's raining.
Demand and money are the brain drain six, along with
the tourism numbers this week, which are now excellent. By
the way, we saw the brain drain finish its draining
and not a moment too soon. Beef mints three means
beat up of the week, glass half or food. Actually,
month on month went down and if that trend continues,
(09:11):
the annual number will eventually go down. That's how statistics work.
Color coding seven school reports that people who didn't finish
school can understand, and it gets extra marks because two
of the colors are green, and green is called manufacturing
seven another month on month rebuild or rebound. It's part
of the overall good news economic story. Stations running dry
for I mean hyperbole, alarmed headlines and knobs with Jerry Cans.
(09:34):
I mean, none of it helps worst case scenarios three.
Given its guesswork, what on earth's the point Booze Reform eight?
Not a single bit of it doesn't make complete in
us a sense, leading to the obvious question, how can
something so obvious only be getting sorted?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Myles Hurrel eight for a job and putting straight to the
rugby room of us reminding us there is a very
big difference between gossip and fact. And that's the week
copies on the website. And if you take six of these,
by the way, soak them in ninety eight, you can
now swap one for a gold roller.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Still got PTSD from filling up the KA yesterday and
watching the numbers just stick up enough and up and up.
And because like when you're paying the app, I go
to caltext and for some reason you've got to put
like a maximum amount when you you know the likes.
I don't know what the technical reason is for that,
(10:29):
but so yeah, you just put in like twenty dollars
more than what you think it's going to be. And
I was starting to think, oh, have I actually put
in enough? As it picked up and up and up,
and was thirty dollars more expensive than the last time
I filled.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
It three rap.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You know, we all think about petrol and diesel and
even jet fuel. What about rocket fuel though? Imagine how
much expensive it must be getting to do that.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Speaking of winners and innovators, rocket Lab the biggest contract
about three hundred and twenty seven million dollars with the
Department of War. No less exth series of hypersonic test
flights lifts its total order backlog this is rocket Lab
to three point four to four billion dollars. So this
deal is a four year deal. Twenty test flights on
(11:13):
their hypersonic accelerator suborbital test electron otherwise known as HASTE,
payloads of up to seven hundred kilograms at speeds of
macfif He's a former New Zealander of the Year, isn't he?
Cletter Bee? I think he is either that? What was he?
Was he Sportsman of the year or one lot he
did something?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
How do we feel about such an integral part of
the US military complex these days? It's fine. It's a
bit like when Mike Arsniviola willis today about how she
feels about getting refined fuel made out of potentially Russian
crude oil. She was fine with it. We're all fine
(11:50):
with it. That's the fact that we're in such a
panic about fossil fuels at all at this day and age.
We're fine, it's fine, it's fine, everything's fine. Hey, Just
do what I do. Try not to think it about
anything at all over the weekend, and we'll reconvene on
Monday and have another go.
