Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk said, be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
The Rewrap.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay, Dan, welcome to the Rewrap for Friday. All the
best buts from the Mic Hosking Breakfast on News Talk said,
be in a sillier package. I am Glen Heart and
today we will mark the week because it is Friday,
and that is what we do. The Hosking Hawks Beat
buys some art. But first the art of the deal,
the Ultimate deal, the peace deal. Is it really happening?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Mike? Why are the hell the media is so negative
about a peace deal? All we hear is how long
will it last? Is it real? How about a narrative
that actually celebrates that something has actually happened, and that
Trump got both these guys to act. You have already
dismissed the plan before anything has happened. Nick, I don't
know how old you are, but those of us who
have seen these peace plans many many, many, many many
many times before, I remember them and Bagan and a

(01:11):
hood of Barak and Jimmy Carter and Camp David and
signing sessions and pens and pieces of paper and celebration left, right,
and center. It always ends in tears because all that's
happening at the moment. I mean, it's great for the
hostage is fantastic, or those who are still alive, so
that part's good, But all that happens in these things

(01:31):
is by and large, they are deals that are brought
about because of sheer exhaustion and desperation to momentarily pause
the ongoing and never ending hate. So if I'm wrong,
happy to say I'm wrong, and come back to me
in five years and there's still no fighting, and still
nothing's gone wrong, and there's still no incursions, and there's
some sort of miraculous change of a system that has

(01:54):
broken down. Really, if you read history hundreds of years
ago and isn't changing now, then you know, come back
to me. But in the meantime, let's just see how
long it wakes.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I mean, obviously it'll be good if they can stop
blowing each other up. Well, let's be honest, I think
it's it's been a while since a mass. It's been
a few days since the masspur anybody up. But yeah,
if there's anything left in Gaza, that'll be a nice
relief for them.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Probably it's the rewrap.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
What about what about you guys? What did you think
about it?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Mike, earlier on the show, you said the Gaza ceasefire
would not last using your theory, Japan will be bombing
Pearl Harbor next week. Ellen wrong because the differentiation is
that a world war is not a regionalized war, and
the world war is not often predicated on sheer hate
in centuries old hate. World wars come and go normally

(02:47):
with individuals leading countries, whereas the central issue in the
Middle East is age old hate, which you don't eradicate
as people come and people go. So there's a I
would have thought, really obvious and large differences.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, And the other thing there is that you know,
Trump hasn't threatened to drop an atomic bomb on Israel
and Gaza because I think if he did then they'd
probably be keep things relatively calm as well. Anyway, as
long as he meant it. And yeah, back in nineteen

(03:22):
forty five, Day definitely meant it, didn't they rewrap. Right.
We'll come back to this shortly, but in the meantime,
another Nobel Prize update. We're up to the Writer's one.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I think the Nobel Prize for the Morning is for literature.
This is the wackiest of all of them. Leslo Kratsna
Lorki No I know Hungarian author for his compelling and
visionary of wir that in the midst of apocalyptic terror,
reaffirms the power of art. He is a great hypocriter

(03:57):
in the Central European tradition that extends through Kafka and
Thomas Bernhard. Is characterized by absurdism and grotesque excess, which
is sort of what the show's known for.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's a bit different to because that's the one that
Bob Dylan won, wasn't it, and couldn't be bothered turning
up to receive It's a it's a bit different. It's
obviously in an eclectic field. They have to sift through
to award that prize. It's the rewrapp Actually, it's a
bit like the contenders for tomorrow's Peace Prize, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Trump won't win the prize because coming out tomorrow. Of course,
in the last meeting was held last Monday, so the
committee don't go, oh, we better have a late breaking meeting.
That's not really how it works, and you've got to
actually have something substantive, although probably if you remember Obama,
you could argue that that's probably not always the case. Anyways.
Five two joint favorite at the moment, along with Saddan's
emergency response rooms. There are three hundred and thirty eight candidates,

(04:52):
of which two hundred and forty four are individuals, ninety
four are organizations. Navelne's widows in there are good terrorists
in there. Again, a lot of un I mean, that's
the problem with this whole thing. It's a very un
oriented Sharad icc and nominated Unra. I mean, I wouldn't
have felt Unre would even be nominated, for goodness, given
the troubles I've had this year. Are think you're n
hc Imran Khan fair enough? Elon Musk I mean surely,

(05:17):
I mean.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Who's he brought peace to space?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Honestly, So we'll see what happens tomorrow. And I always
find that the ones I really like are the ones
earlier in the week. Your physics, your chemistry, your medicine.
These are people who have done just amazing things. This
guy this morning on literacy, I mean, no one ever
he has ever heard of the Literacy Award winner and
the piece the Peace Prize unfortunately tends to be a Okay, I.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Think it's a literature award on a literacy award. I
don't think he was teaching people how to read.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
It's a very good point late breaker for you.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean, I don't know if that's for certain. I
mean he might be an English teacher in his part time.
They spoke with the absurdist writing. Maybe he uses the
absurd as writing to teach people to read. It could
be sort of literally, but I don't think there is
a prize for literacy per se.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
The rewrap.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right, enough of that absurdism and onto some different assurdism.
Here's how we mark the week.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
This week time to make the week, of course, little
piece of news and current events that the Nobel Prize
committee couldn't work out whether it was science or magic.
Attention seekers one, What a dreadful week as we gave
far too much energy to narcissists who masquerade as people
with causes both at sea and on land. Are the
Reluctant Traveler nine certainly the best TV of the week,

(06:39):
possibly the year in fact, Eugene Levy and Prince William
and a big budget for cameras. If you haven't seen it,
do it? Uplifting at outstanding No Lean two still nothing.
How badly handled? Can a badly handled scandal be handled?
Adrian and his restraint of trade too? Ironically, Adrian isn't

(07:02):
really a bad guy in this particular bit of an
increasingly gargantuine scandal. Are the ComCom six no need to
inquire into airports? Apparently? But they did issue warnings to
Mauldra Bricklayers. It's not every week you get to say
that the Ero's attendance start a seven. Take every bit
of good news we can find at the moment. Let's
hope it's a trend the government jobs see could change?
Is six an important message that life on welfare has

(07:24):
no future. Shame that somebody tried so hard to find
excuses for that. Ronaldo seven, I mean the first football billionaire.
I mean good honorm I hope he's happy playing third
tier soccer, even if he is loaded. Lebron three a
billionaire as well, But it clearly doesn't stop you making
a dick of yourself. I mean his reputation really worth
a cognac ad Christian seven as in Hawksby got there

(07:48):
at last twenty five? Next month please and I'll give
some money to you going away get Christians. Winston seven,
in between cleaning up the glass and his dog. Was
that a bigger window than the first one? I think
it was a even bigger window glass and his dog.
His pacific reset speech was a reminder of what are
considered insensible Foreign ministry actually is Chloe the party under

(08:10):
her leadership. Think about it from a bigger picture. The
party under her leadership really has become fastical. I mean
a tell him sign was a national park, it might
make sense. Hipkins three telling us how appalling it was.
Winston's house got smashed, but then he didn't vote for
the new protest law. H Y P O c R

(08:31):
I T. E. Reese Walsh nine. Yep. When you have
a day, you have a day. And his whole day
was a highlight reel ratings six. The NRL beat the AFL,
Now that's rare, but Women's League beat the All Blacks
numbers don't lie and that's the week. Copies on the

(08:51):
website and a new feature. By the way, if you
send us one hundred dollars, we'll send you three of
these and a new driver's license.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah. If I ever have to reset my driver's license,
I will definitely fail. I might actually fail on purpose
because I don't really like drive and I much prefer
somebody else did it, and then I can't be criticized
for the way I'm doing. It would be refreshing.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
It's a rewrap.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
We're going to finish up. Yeah, buying some art and
this all came out of a discussion around Tory Fano's
seven thousand dollars portrait a well income Council the Child
out for That wasn't what Mike and Kate bought, though.
I don't think one.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Piece of art we bought. We bought two pieces of art.
One was a little piece of art. And I was
standing in the shop and I was looking at the
little piece of art and I was saying that the
bloke who was standing next to us, I said, isn't
that beautiful? And he goes, yes, it is, and I
said it was. It's a lovely little it's not pencil,
but it's a drawing of a couple walking into the

(09:57):
distance with their arms around each other. And Katie and
I collect stuff like that, little bits of art that
represent love. And I said, that's such a love little drawing.
I said, who did that? And he gave me the name.
I said, she's very clever. I said, she's fabulously clever.
He goes, well, she is, actually, I said, what do

(10:19):
you know about her? And he goes, well, that's her
standing over there. And this woman was going red in
the face behind the counter of the art gallery because
it was her painting. And so at that point, of course,
fortunately I was going to buy it, because if I wasn't,
I would have to have bought it at that particular
point because she would be sort of pulling out the
paper from under the counter, going, surely you're going to
buy it now that you've complimented me.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
So we did, and she then she went on to say, oh,
by the way, it's not about love, it's about death.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
No, fortunately, it's about love. Anyway, we had the hangman
round this week and he hung that up and it
looks fantastic in the corridor.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
And I found that hanging to be Ah the hangman.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
The hangman, he comes run. And here's the other thing
about my friend the handman. When I started telling stories
about Matt the Hangman, he was starting out his business
and I used to say, we get a person around
to hang out pictures in our house, and everyone used
to laugh at me. But now his business is so successful.
One he employs lots of people, so it's a massive company.
And two all the art galleries use them. They said,

(11:15):
do you need some assistance in hanging your new artwork? Now, no,
we've got our people. You go, who do you have?
I don't think you talk like that, but it was
sort of like that. We said we have the hangman
and they went, oh, yes, we use them too. Everyone
uses him.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
So just to be clear, he doesn't hang people, you know,
on death rower or anything.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, No, it just hangs paintings and it's a very
successful business now.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
It reminds me of when we were talking about dental
hygienists a few weeks back. Imagine if he was married
to a dental hygienist and both of them were just like,
you know, basically working twenty four hours a day to
try and meet the demand. What a power couple they'd be.
I am, I don't know why I went that way.

(11:59):
It's because I'm Friday. It's because I'm Friday. As you
can tell, I'm a bit tired. I'll try and get
some rest over the weekend. We'll see how that goes,
We'll start with this again on Monday.
