Speaker 2 (00:26):
Here and welcome to the Rewrap for Friday, all the
best butts from the Mic Hosking Breakfast on News Talk
S EDB in a sillier package. I am Glen Hart
and today we will mark the week, I think, because
it is Friday and that is what we do. What
as a two greg Thursday? And how did it go
with Mike yesterday? He had a two Greek Thursday yesterday?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
What does it all mean?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we'll finish up with some king boring Kimchee sprinkles
all over it apparently before any of that. Boot camps on,
don't call them boot camps, They're not. They are boot camps,
so aren't they.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
At the end of the weekends and Sunday, the government's
much debated military academy for young offenders will be underway.
They're probably the headline aspect I'm thinking of this weird
overall scrap we seem to be having post the election
around ideas that are to be enacted and yet don't
have a level of acceptance from the opponents despite the
fact that what those opponents propose and support doesn't and
(01:21):
hasn't worked. Crime and its offenders fits neatly into the
category of issues that we face where we can all
agree there's a major problem. Stats are indisputable. So the
idea is that, in part, if you take the most
recidivist of those operators, put them in some kind of
environment and try and turn their lives around, you might
well be making a decent sort of dent in said problem.
(01:42):
The soft approach, the Huggathon of the past six years
has been an abject failure, and yet those who love
the Huggathon cannot bring themselves to believe that trying something
new might just might help. There was another sneering piece
on TV three the other night in which yet again
they rounded up the same tired old favorite to run
the line that this has been tried before and it
didn't work. They even went as far as to find
(02:03):
a bloke who'd been sent to one of these camps
decades ago and was abused, completely missing the possibility that
in the ensuing decades the world might just have moved
on a little bit and what we did in the
sixties and seventies might just look slightly different. Now, there
is none so blind as those who will not see. Now.
This is not to say the academies will be a
hit or a revelation. They might, they might not. But
(02:24):
like a lot of ideas in life, execution is the
key simply bagging an idea, ignoring its modern subtleties as
lazy debate and its lazy journalism. Just for a minute,
what if it works?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Eh?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
What if it helps? What if all the hand ringers
are actually wrong? And that is how you solve issues.
You don't solve them by doing the same thing you
know as failed. You try something different, You shake it up.
Time will tell, of course. But given we all know
the state of crime and the kids who perpetrate it,
how about we pause long enough to just let them
give it a crack.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey see, I know a young fella, well younger than me,
who went to military school for part of his secondary
school career.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
And he speaks very highly of it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
There are a lot of physical education, a lot of
getting up early.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That sounds even worse than the.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Normal school that I went to, which I also hated.
Don't knock it till I try it? Is that what
you're saying too eight.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Now it's a rewrap.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
All right, let's mark the week now. In my defense, yes,
all right, I got a buzz and a ding wrong
in this way, and I'm just warning you. But I
was trying to record highlights from a New Zealand losing
the Olympic seven's quarterfinal at the same time.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
So I think I could be forgiven, can I?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'm now to make a weak little piece of news
and current events that's more popular than a ten dollar
uber eats voucher from CrowdStrike Tech three. For all that's changed,
we become hopelessly reliant on a thing we don't get
and can't cope with when it doesn't work properly. The
All Black six we won, we saw some new talent.
Whether it's swept America's another issue, of course. The NBA
(04:04):
nine Amazon over Warner Brothers in a battle worth billions,
Now that is how you run sport. Biden three, I mean,
my choice all nice words, but it ends in really
a pathetic sort of whimper, doesn't it. Trump five to two
wants nobell.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
If you murder somebody, just go home and relax. Murder
a couple of.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Other people, take a lot of goodwill out of Butler
and blew it up this time last week. You remember
this time last week in Milwaukee being super uncool with
the movie length wraps, So taking down the temperature hasn't happened.
Harris seven.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
We are fighting for the future.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah we order, I raised the money, looked energetic, stitched
up the delegates, but didn't actually move the needle in
the pole. So that's going to be a bit of
a worry. Our health New Zealand six because sacking boards
six six, yes, six are because sacking the boards is
action and it at least shows you mean business. The
new Road north eight actually nine, actually ten Northland has
(05:00):
been treated appallingly for years and rhades mean growth. Best
decision of the week to fast track that particular road.
New Zealand Inc. Two. We and our stroke from trade
figures this week to the retail figures this week, to
the hotels that aren't full. The amount of stuff that
isn't being done is ugly. Meridian four. Another example actually
tells t why to do less. Doing less is not
(05:23):
a business plan. Canada and Drone seven. Story of the
week is women's football. The wom's football team going to
win a middle No, so Why are they spying? Why
are they using drones?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Weird?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Are the meddle chances too? Wat they predict fourteen medals?
Isn't that a worry in itself? And one of those medals,
which is a gold, is it over? We've lost? Okay,
so it's thirteen medals? If one seven like the good
old days, domination over genuine intrigue any number of storylines,
it is next level enthralling. Roger hellam seven that's stuck
(05:56):
in jail for sitting down on a road and being
a pratt. The extinction rebellion and all their mates need
to be taught a lesson. We need more of that.
And that's the week copies on the website. And if
you take an average of one hundred and forty three
of these, by the way, and can press them, they
turn up to be an excellent pothole fix.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And then on top of all that, we lost that
seventh quarter final anyway, So I don't know why I
wasted my time. I could have been concentrating on my
buzzes and my dings. So I get a little bit
bogged down, a little bit obsessed with this stuff. Maybe
rewrap right, What on earth is a two Greg Thursday
and why and how did Mike double as Greggs yesterday?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Weird thing I was at the hairdress is yesterday with Greggles.
He's been deeply, deeply interested in the Tour de France
and so he hadn't talked about the Tour de France
for a couple of years, and suddenly he was back
to life on the Tour de Front. So he's re
engaged himself in the world of cycling. And we were
discussing the power required to go up the hills down
Dale and just how phenomenal these guys are. And the
(06:51):
winner claimed that the technology, nutrition, diet, fitness and the
technology behind the bikes has transformed the race and they're
getting faster and faster and faster and faster, which seems
extraordinary to me. But the other thing we were talking about,
very briefly, was he's downtown, and we were talking about
downtown a business in the economy, and of course no
one's suffering more at the moment, and we've seen all
(07:11):
the figures than HOSPO. In general, there are doors closing left,
right and center. And yet I read yesterday in Viva,
which is the segment in the Herald the twenty plus.
This is their headline, the twenty plus new eateries to
have on your radar. So what that indicates to me?
Although times and of course the media focuses a tremendous
(07:32):
amount on the negative, but equally, you can't have twenty
plus new eateries unless there are twenty plus new eateries.
And so why would you be opening a new eatery
in a time of great uncertainty unless you were bullish
and feeling good about life and wanting to take the risk.
I found that to be very uplifting, which was quite good.
Then I got a text from Greg Murphy earlier on
(07:53):
in the day, who was agreeing with what.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I was saying about double Greg Thursday, Double.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Greg Thursday, Greg the haircut of Greg Murphy, the car driver.
So too, Greg, it's a two Greg day. What a
day to Greg Thursday. Anyway, he was agreeing with me
on what I was saying about driverless cars robot cars yesterday,
to which I texted back, Yep, I agree with myself too, Greg,
or something stupid like that, because that's what we do.
Then I read that there's a company here. It's a
(08:17):
manufacturer of eb charges. Guess where they're going Australia. Why
because they can't sell charges here. Why because there are
no sales of EV so they think there's more money.
This is EBNEX, they're based in christ Jurch. They reckon
there's more money to be raised in Australia these days
because the Australians are still in the subsidy business. They've
got six thousand charges here, a thousand in Australia, but
they're going to get more growth in Australia also overnight.
(08:39):
I'm here to report that AUDI internationally globally, AUDI have
readjusted their electrification strategy, which is what all carmakers are
doing at the moment, adjusting their electrification strategy. So they're
expanding the pheabs, the plug ins because they've worked out
like everybody else, no one's buying EV's, no one wants
an EV, no one selling an EV, No one's buying
an EV, so there's no point in making EV's, so
(09:00):
they're adjusting too. So is that just about every single
car manufacturer in the world quote unquote company grapples with
an inn just rewide awakening a weakening rather of demand
for all electric models.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Do you reckon after this week Tesla's reevaluating it so
electric electric.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Electric electrification, strategy electrification. They're going into robocars which are
never going to come to anything, but that doesn't stop
the investor backing Elon and as many and varied weird
and wonderful ideas. But two Greg Thursday, So it was
a good thursd That's why I'm feeling so good this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
And you know that you're feeling jaded at the end
of the week when you can't pronounce the word electrification,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
I was at a function last night.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I wasn't late or anything, but I did happen to
say to them that, yeah, you'll know if the show's
sounding a little bit loose tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This function is to blame rewrap it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I don't know that I can be entirely to blame
for the weird stuff that Mike says, though about the
weird things that he does.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Mike tried finishing off my shower yesterday morning with the
cold water. Nearly died of shop not doing that again.
I'd rather die with a smile on my face. Jenny,
Come on, it's the path to success in life is
not achieved by giving up on day one and the
cult yesterday. If it was yesterday, you did it. That
was your worst day, and so each day will get
(10:22):
better until there will be a day when you suddenly go,
you know what, actually that's quite good, and you've got
to get to that day. You know, you don't run.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Most every day when you get into that nice warm
share and go, no, you don't.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
You don't run a marathon by doing five and a
half kilometers, never having run in your life, and feeling
exasperated with a pulled hammy.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
You've got it. Who wants to run a marathon?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
You've got to ease yourself and Jenny, stick with it.
You won't regret it.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Do you think it's true? That whole thing you've got
to earn.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Stuff. It's got to be hard. It's more rewarding when
it is well. Do you think that's really true? I
sort of feel like, you know, you feel like you're
succeeding when you know you're happy and you're not in
pain and you're not uncomfortable. That's sort of where I
want to be. I've still got a different way of
(11:14):
looking at things to Mark. I think it's a rewrap.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
And also, don't get.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Me wrong, I'm not averse to trying kim Chief flakes,
but I don't think you can get them anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
By the way, Sam's come to the party. No supermarkets
sell Kimchie sprinkles. No standard mainstream supermarket sell Kimchi sprinkles.
So it's clearly.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Amand contraband, like it's been illegally imported or something.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Well, see, I don't know that stuff. I mean, maybe
it is, maybe she just got it traded for something.
I don't know what's going on. Kim Tree sprinkles good
to keep the prostate size under control. Now there is
some developing medical news. I don't know if it's true,
and I'm not sure under broadcasting laws whether I'm about
to whether I'm allowed to broadcast medical advice.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
You can't make medical claims.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
You can't make medical claims. Well I wasn't. I was
just reading a text. It came through the printer of truth,
so when it came through the brother it must be right.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah, So, like I say, you have to talking about
kim Chie sprinkles and seasantly on air. Of course, then
they immediately sold out of and we can't get them anymore.
So yeah, basically, if you've got a business, and you
can get Mike Huskin to like it, and they talk
(12:23):
about it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
And this is why it is the most.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Expensive radio advertising in the country right And I don't
think they've paid for that advertising, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I am glen Hat. Wonder if the.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Boxes of sprinkles of all kinds arriving on Mike Steph
Snicks next week very possibly, Yet the corruption that's rife,
the sprinkle corruption.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm glared hat.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That was the rewrap and we'll be back with more
corrapt practices on Monday the event.
