Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap oo there and welcome to the rerap for Friday.
All the best bets from the mic asking breakfast on
News Talks dB in a sillier package.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I am Glenharten. Today. Let's put a bow on the
kiss can thing.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
We will find out what young people who've just graduated
want to do with their lives. We'll mark the week
because I may have already mentioned it is Friday and
what it's like in Albania. But before any of that,
speaking of putting a bow on things, let's wrap up
butter once and for all, shall we?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Mike the reporter asking Myles Hurral how much he was paid,
represents all that's wrong with the media. Could not agree more.
I apologize in advance of our the wrong person, but
I think it was Donno Marie Lever, and Dono Marie
Lever used to work for us for a little bit's
work for Tavians every years. And I know Dona Marie
and she's a very nice person. So if it was her,
eyes a little bit disappointed. If it wasn't her, I
(01:19):
apologize because that would mean that she's the person I
thought she was, not the person that turned up on
the television. Anyway, point being Miles is where everyone misses
the point what Miles earns. First of all, Miles, you're
doing what he earns because he's brilliant and he's turned
Fonterra around and Fonterra's making a shedloaded oay for this country.
Second of all, Miles, and everyone seems to forgot Miles
is not personally responsible for setting the butter price. Miles
(01:40):
is not the butters are. Miles is not in charge
of a public company. Fontira is owned by farmers, not
by the wider public. Miles is not a publicly elected official.
Miles has not committed a crime. Miles has done nothing
but be good at his job, and for that he's
become some sort of wacky dairy villain this week, as
(02:00):
people largely in the media cannot get their head around
the simple calculation that if you produce something the world wants,
the world might pay you quite a bit of money
for it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
So he's not just going to donate some of the
six million backs to just not fifty cents off a
block of batter for everyone what it is. Yeah, I
mean I've done the maths, and he could do that
once or twice and then he'd not have any money
left obviously. Yeah, perhaps not an ideal solution. It's the rewrap, right,
So he's hoping we never ever have to talk about
the price of battery ever. Again, I'm sure we won't,
(02:32):
or kiss cam. Really, I'm kind of over kiss Cam.
In fact, I've even gone off Coldplay in a way.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I've been thinking. It's the sort of response you would
have expected, don't you think. Liam Gallagher back on stage
and seemingly lapping it up on the Oasis Touries in
Manchester this week, he asked about the love Birds and
the audience and said, don't worry, we ain't got any
of that cold place snidyfing camera. Shit doesn't matter to
us who you're mingling with, tingling with, fingling with none
of our effing business. Now, my gut says the majority
(02:59):
of the audience, indeed the world are on Liam's side,
not Chris Martin's. This has been the biggest story on
the planet for a couple of weeks now. It has
crossed barriers continent's age groups in a way that few
stories do. It's that rear mix of mirth and horror
and carnage. I mean, yes, it's funny. Yes, you can
decipher the reaction, how they reacted, why they reacted, how
dumb the reaction might have been. But then Whoop's real
(03:20):
life jobs, lost, families and friends and relationships up ended
eleven personal upheaval. We don't and won't know about the
very real question. I would have thought around morals and business?
I mean the business. We're very quick to publicly talk
about standards. Now he might the bloke, the CEO have
a clause in his contract about public activity or behavior.
I don't know. But business and morals, jeez, that's fantastically
(03:42):
complicated area. I would have steered well clear off. What
about legal action? I would have thought they got a sue.
I mean, yes, tickets and venues have warnings about CCTV
in filming. But this wasn't about a crime or publicity.
It went a mile beyond that. It blew up lives,
It destroyed things. What about the mental consequences? How did
two unknowns handle global fame, opprobrium, celebrity, attention, notoriety, call
(04:06):
it whatever you want, all at once. I mean, yes,
it's easy to say, of course it is. Well, they
shouldn't have been there, should they? What if they're in
love about to be married? Started fresh as opposed to
say him being a shagger and this is his third
fling this year. Lives are complicated and we have little
of any business passing judgment, or as Liam would say,
it's none of our effing business.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So yeah, I mean it was it last month Beyonce's
flying car fell to pieces and she had to be.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Lied down to the stage. Now got this?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I think it's the effort to make your concert just
the most spectacular thing that anybody's ever seen. Has it
just got a little bit out of control. I mean
the last one I went to was Pink, and of
course she flew all over the stadium on these wires
and things, but she's injured herselves a few times. I mean, yes, yes,
I do find it entertaining to answer the quote from
(05:01):
the Gladiator, But yes I am entertained. But at what expense?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Re wrap? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So what do young people want to do? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Not me? But some people sound like they do.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Very uplifting survey yesterday, though, I must tell you about
increasing number of graduates school, they want to be their
own people. They want to set up their own business.
And I find this invigorating and exciting. And the fewer
people work for other people in this country, the better
off we're going to be. Skills Group have done the survey.
Most common long term ambition when you talk to graduates
is I want to be my own person. Over forty
(05:38):
percent want to start their own business. Seven percent want
to do it immediately after graduation. That's exciting. There were
twelve hundred people they talk to They want to move
into beauty and health and trades and community services. There
are six hundred thousand small businesses in this country, which
for a country of only five and a half million
people is not bad going. And the more we support
our small business, as far as I can work out,
(05:58):
the better.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Has he seen young people?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Does he know what they're like?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Does he really want them in charge of their own businesses?
I guess I just don't understand, because all I've ever
wanted to do is retire. Even when I was still
at school, That's what I wanted to do. The rerap
Shall we mark the week?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I think we shall? It is Friday?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
After all time out to mark the week, little piece
of news and current events that's more appealing than coke,
even if it is now made with cane sugar. Trump seven.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
You know when we called Hillary Clinton, I said, you
know what, let's not let's not go too far here.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Kelly Ways had a significantly positive week. Scotus sacking people
that's gone his way, deals with Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan.
Australia's flipped on beef only downside, he's stuck in the
Epstein files and he's got candles Adrian or two.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah, that's a statement.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Looks like the fact you thought he was a bit
party and self important turned out to be true. Nicola Mainland.
Willis for the old I'm going to teach him a
thing or two trick blew up in her face Nceea Sex.
We'll wait for the actual detail, but the idea that
the joke that is the in CEA gets blown up
is no bad thing. Billion six infrastructure that is actually happening,
(07:12):
plays the Lord, Bring it on more, please, Everyone must go.
Seven had a target more than Mitts target. It's a win.
We like wins. Go tourism. Scotti Scheffler seven for a
bloke who was wondering what it was all about before
the first round. That wasn't a bad weekend of pondering.
Was it inflation six? That's because it was lower than
they thought. But but it still doesn't address the problem
(07:34):
that the RB aren't doing what they need to do
to father joint up netball six because they woke up
and changed that dumb rule about you know, players going overseas.
But Decanacio then goes and goes, by the way, I'm
not here next year, and they've got no broadcast deal
and teams are openly talking about the future of the game.
Colbert seven, The defense was but he's number one. But
the reality of being number one, it only counts if
(07:55):
you're making money. He wasn't. The hellepad appeal one. This
country is too full of time wasters. We had a hearing.
Everyone had their say, someone won, someone didn't. That's life.
Sky TV eight small bag of lollies for a dollar.
That's good enough, far less a whole teley station. Liam
(08:16):
Gallagher eight summed it up nicely. It's none of our
effing business. That is the week copies on the website
and yes we're all those asking. The guides have produced
a marking the week badge, and you have to be witty,
insightful and funny and put a lot of random numbers
around it. I mean, how hard can it be?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So if you missed that story, the guides, especially in Britain,
I presume it's everywhere, have introduced seventy two new badges
that you can earn, including laughing and sleeping.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I reckon I could get the sleeping one. The rerap.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We're going to finish up going on holiday with Mike's daughter,
because why not.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
My daughter's in Albania at the moment, having a fine time,
and she sends back photos of course, and Albania looks
to me a lot like you know how everyone goes,
Oh you got to go to Croatia, to brov Nick.
All of those coasts look absolutely spectacular. She's ended up
in Albania because she's a poor student, so she can't
afford I'm assuming the cases, she can't afford Dubrovnik, so
she's gone to Albania. And when she said to me,
(09:17):
I'm going to Albania festival, she started off I can't
remember where she started off, Turkey. That's where she started
off Turkey and went then to Spain. Now she's ended
up in Albania. But Albania looks a lot like Dubrovnik
and the Croatian coast. So if you next this is
for next year, you've probably left it too late for
the summer. But if next year you want to go
(09:39):
for a northern summer holiday, I'd recommend Albania because it's
clearly a lot cheaper. And she's a dirt poor student
along with her dirt poor student mates, and she's having
the time of a life in Albania and it looks
really nice.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Is she having a bit of a shop up? No?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
At good point, Glynn Cheese, you're on fire this morning
because we're talking about this yesterday and I said, the
reason they'll be doing this Katie was showing me the
photos because she's on a polar what's the polar steps
polar steps app? And I don't have apps, so Katie
has to show me anyway she used to on the
polar Steps app. And there are obviously in places where
there are no shops. I mean, you don't think of
Albania and shopping, do you.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well, I do because the major exports and Kolude textiles,
footwear and base metals.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Well, she's not into base metals, but what about shoes? Yeah, fair,
I mean, who doesn't love an Albanian shoe.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I often hear people say.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
So, she's in Albania and it looks the beaches look beautiful,
and the sun is shining and the sky is blue,
and I'm assuming the cocktails are chip so she's having
a very nice time to do.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And then I fair, I suggested that having your daughter
in Albania might not be the best idea because the
next thing you know, she's taken and you have to
have a certainty of skills to get her back. Unfortunately,
somebody also texted in with the same joke, and then
I felt like I was kind of hack at that point.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That was a bit of a downer. I am Glenn Hart.
That was the rewrap.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I We'll be back with more hack jokes on Monday.
