Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk saidb follow
this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay, then welcome to the Rewrap for Tuesday feels like
a Monday, all the best bits from the mic asking
breakfast on Newstalks d be in a sillier package. I
am Glen Hart and today are the Warriors. They keep
finding ways to make their games close, but they back
(00:46):
to winning, so that's good. Would you bet on sale GP?
Would you eat Dubai chocolate or drink it? And would
you move to christ Church? But first up running it straight?
It seems to be spilling over into this week now
because the government's looking into it.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Now listen to the headliners, right, and I hope it
isn't the government is seeking advice on what to do
about running straight. If the government is seeking this advice,
they've been sucked in, unless, of course they're saying they're
seeking advice. So everyone basically just shuts up for a
bit because the whole thing's got hopelessly out of control.
We need to break this ongoing grip too many New
Zealanders have with the government, or the ongoing spell that
(01:23):
too many are under that governments run our lives and
it's only governments that do stuff. Ardi Savilla, God bless them,
got it spot on last week. He spoke for all
of us and trying to balance a sensible observation about
an activity while balancing the reason for the angst the
tragedy that led to the heightened upset around it. In
the first place, what happened was a tragedy. Of course
it was a tragedy. But accepting that we seem unable
(01:45):
to separate our tragedy from government, or accident from rules,
or mishap from common sense, we fail to recognize the
most obvious lack of connection. Run it straight. The competition,
the organized sport was not involved in the death. The
death happened at a twenty first. No law, as Prime
Minister point it out, is stopping a twenty first. We
want desperately to stop stupidity. We would like to find
(02:07):
a way to prevent young men mainly doing dumb stuff
young men do. But has already quite rightly put it.
The athletic side of the activity is part of contact sport.
We have all in our own way, whether it be
bull rush or league or union or mma, all done
something like it. Savilla and his brother did what many, many, many,
many many young men do in backyards, try to run
(02:30):
each other over. Wiser's brother called Bus. The heat I
took on this last week when I said similar things
was interesting. They seem a group who feel if they
spray or get agro with a person like me, that
makes them feel better. Maybe psychologically they can absolve themselves
for feeling helpless. Tragedy generally leaves us helpless, but looking
to a government is pointless, and a government looking for
(02:52):
advice is even more pointless.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
You see.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's one of those comment peters from Mike where I
get distracted by one little detail and then I don't
really hear any of the rest of it. It's about
one of the Savas being called bus, and I don't
know how interested I am in the opinions of somebody
called Bass.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Maybe if they've got opinions about busses.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Anyway, it's a rewrap.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
So Warriors, they won, well, they made it closer than
they really needed to. What did Mike feel?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes, the league was a joy to watch, wasn't it?
For a couple of reasons, actually several reasons. One it
was on at a good time given I go to
bed early. Too many games this season have been too late.
Two Also, it was a long weekend, so that helped
a bit. Three Also, it was a high quality game
with two very good sides. Look at the player of
the ball, stats, completed sets, a lot of fast paced,
high quality football was played. And four Mainly it was
(03:51):
good because before I left on Friday, Sammy the producer said,
for reasons best known to himself, the Warriors by fourteen
or more. I said something like, are you serious? Why
do people that don't know much about sport insist on
pretending they know a lot about sport? Fifty bucks? I said,
fourteen under why not because the Warriors weren't going to win,
but because the Bunnies are a quality playoff type side
(04:13):
and fourteen are above is a lot of points, especially
when you have Luke metcalf as a kicker and he's
good for fifty percent at best. He came right at
the end, of course, but not before he missed a
couple of howlers, not before he ran the length of
the field scored an outstanding runaway try. But at no
point as he approached the line did he think he
might want to head towards placing the ball a bit
closer to the sticks, given he was going to be
(04:35):
taking the kicker a few minutes later, and where he
was currently positioned gave him no chance of success at all.
Sure Enough, he scored, then missed. Six points were left
on the table. On another day, in a tighter game.
As I keep saying the season, this is going to
haunt us for a while. Sammy might have felt he
was on to a fifty dollars winner. We were up
by eighteen. But and this is what you learn from
(04:57):
almost thirty years of watching the Warriors against good sides.
Runaway victories with an average kicker are rare events, and
Sunday wasn't going to be one of them. Latrell Mitchell
was keen to prove me right, and a comeback of
sorts was on. They were never going to win, but
they were going to make a game of it, and
a good game of it it was. But the most
uplifting aspect was we are now what you might describe
(05:17):
as an almost complete site. They played well, but we
played better. Hence we won almost top of the table,
almost the dream season, almost the playoffs. A lot of
good stuff is very close to becoming reality. A win
and fifty dollars and indeed the growing realization this is
our leason.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Big part of the game for Mike seemed to be
what time it was on, So that's I think the
organizers of the competition will be taking note of bet
and they'll try and put more worrious.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Games on at a convenient time for Mike Osking.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I think a re wrap sale GP. That's something that
seems to happen in the middle of the night. Do
you have to get up to bet or can you
place your bet beforehand?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Sale GP is going to be providing there in New
York this weekend for the latest round. They're going to
be providing real time odds to betting platforms including Draft
Kings in the US and bet three sixty five internationally.
Is this the thing? And they're arguing that it's a
broadest strategic plan to attract new fans, grow the league's popularity.
(06:23):
So they're doing well in TV audiences and ticket sales
at the events themselves. I've only watched one round, to
be honest, and I thought it was televisually speaking brilliant.
I thought that's a slick international operation that knows what
they're doing, and they've clearly got a model. They do
the same model wherever they go, so they can sort
of push, set up, push play, and off they go.
(06:44):
I thought it looked good. The crowd looks good, the
racing looks good. I get what they're trying to do.
Does betting grow a sport like sailing? If you don't
like sale GP the fact that you can put some
money on it now and have some live betting odds,
does that suddenly change your mind? I was watching the
Warriors over the weekend. They got that guy who comes
on and goes I'm thinking, now, who's the guy? And
(07:07):
it was the rabbit o who was going to maybe
score a try? I can't remember. They put the odds
up at halftime, and I thought, he's no more likely
to now. It wasn't Latrell, was it? I thought? Is
he going to score a try now versus not before?
Am I going to watch the game that much more closely?
If I've got money on Latrell?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Am I going to.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Hope that this boat goes over the line A little
bit quicker a boke. It's a weird thing. There are
some sports you bet on obviously, but I'm not sure
that sale GP is one of them, but they probably
know more than I do.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It's for me, it's another reason to take it even
less seriously than I was already taking it, and much
the same way that I don't really rate the results
of heavyweight boxing or cricket, especially cricket played on the
Subcontinent these days, pretty match can safely ignore sale GP
(08:04):
and any of its results from now on. The rewrap right,
So we talked about Renet's fate earlier in the podcast,
even though I don't know if it's really going to
be in the news this week, and.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I hope not. I'm sort of sick of talking about it.
But Mike was really into bringing back things from earlier
on in the year, if not last year, back into
the Dubai chocolate.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I've got no idea why, but I thought Dubai chocolate
was something that you've gotten to buy, I mean, which
it is.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I thought it's something you got on the other side
of Auckland if you're sam that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
So Sammy before he lost all his money and a
warrior's bet over the weekend and then brought a nine
thousand dollars dog and he's busy saving for a dining
table at the moment.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And let's not talk about the suit that he's wearing
to the radio.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Very interesting last year.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It gives us so much material.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
It's so incredible. Last year at the Radio Awards, which
are coming up this Thursday, by the way, it's a
big week for the radio industry, and we're nominated a lot,
and Sammy's nominated. You're nominated best as what best what producer? Okay,
clothes horse, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So anyway, last year, he'd just come back from a
third world country I can't remember, as Vietnam or Cambodia
or something like that, and he'd bought a suit and
it was a suit the likes of which none of
us had ever seen. It was incredible. I mean, for
a start, it was green. Green wasn't and isn't it
hasn't been in as far as I know, forever. Anyway,
it was green. It's green suit. He went and got
(09:32):
this specially made and I thought it was fantastic, so
we highlighted that at the evening.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It had a sort of a sheen toche.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I said, shine, you say sheen, but yep, yep, it
glowed and lo and behold as we're building up, of course,
and we just sit around discussing what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Before we go on. Sometimes people worry that this is bullying,
that we're bullying.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Who worries about that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I've had people close.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
To me say, for goodness say and because Sam doesn't
have a mic and can't defend himself.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
And doesn't want to mike, he can't afford one, can't I.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Feel like that that if he didn't, you know, say
these things, do these things?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is saying in precisely relaying the things that he's said
and done.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Exactly so unknown to me or he actually when he
went and got the green suit made, he went and
had another suit made, two suits made, two suits for
one hundred and ninety nine dollars one hundred dollars a
suit if you wear them twice fifty bucks. Aware it's incredible.
So anyway, this year, this this.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I didn't even think Helenstein's does it doubt?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
They don't even come close to it. Do you like
that this year's color is gray? Now that under sells it.
I have in my mind what really it is? It's
a lightish gray. I strongly suspect it's got a small
sparkle in it, certainly a shine and small sparkle. So
it's a light, shiny, sparkly gray suit, is what I
think it is. So he'll be daybuing this on Anyway,
(10:53):
where was I? So? Sammy used to go out in
business and gtr to Tacaninny. Was it for the do
buy chocolate? Went out to Tacaninny for the do buy chocolate?
And he used to buy it? What do you call that?
It's sort of undercover or something. Isn't it sort of
dark market? The dark net? Where have you got iss
do buy chocolate from? Anyway? The point of it was
(11:14):
I didn't realize that everybody all over the world is
making now do buy chocolate because the whole thing has
taken off. You can it used to be only available
at Dubai International Airport. You realize that's where it started,
was at Dubai International Airport, and then everyone started ripping
it off lint. Do you know how much Lint have
made out of Dubai chocolate? Six point two billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I wonder how much lake Man have made out of
their do Bai chocolate stout? Have you tried that?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I've never heard of any of that, So Lakeman, lake Man.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, so it's a it's a stout maker, well a
beer maker and based on Tell Paul and they have
they do a very nice chocolate stout. Okay, but they
also have a do Bai chocolate stout.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
What do you pay for that?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well a bit more than that's the normal chocolate stout.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
So it's got a sort of pistachio color highlights on
the on the on the you see.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Okay, we need a six pack. Can you need a
six pack of that? We need a six pack of that.
We'll bust it open on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now like how o, how tael sweet? Because we're pret
pre load before the awards. It's the it's the suit.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Going to be shiny enough for that to just slip
off when the can goes. Yeah, the lake it's probably
my favorite chocolate stout at the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
The lake Man. I used to really like the Mulla.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
They did a co lab with Lewis Road Primary and
they did a chocolate milk stout and I didn't think
you could get it anymore, but I just looked it
up and your stick can still get it. But they
don't seem to stock it at my supermarket, so I
have to stick with lake Man. I think the lake
Man one is a bit cheaper as well. I mean castles,
(13:03):
the old castles, the award winning castles. That's always a
go to, but a bit low on the alcohol content.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
For my.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Rewrapped.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I sound a bit like mate Husking. Don't know. He
wants the worries to be on at a convenient time
for him.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want the chocolate stat to be available to me
at a good price. And Michael also wants to move
to christ Church, but he's not going to get to
by the sounds of things.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I also read over the week in New Brighton, and
having come from christ we had a conversation in the house,
another one of our windo we move to christ Church.
Conversations in the house didn't go well. I've got to
admit I'll disclose that right from the start, but I
spent quite a bit of last week and I mentioned
it on the program education Minister in christ Church announcing
all the schools, and I'm thinking, go ahead, go ahead.
I want to be part of a go ahead place.
(13:47):
So I'm seeing that, and then I'm reading also over
the weekend in one roof that the christ Church house
prices back to pre COVID peak. They're back. Are they
back anywhere else?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Are they back in a well Queenstown, Yes, but christ
Church the bounce back white because it's a growing region.
Prices are up one point four percent and three months.
So I'm thinking to myself, the investor and me goes
to get in for it's too late. I don't want
to go in too late and go you know, you're
late to the party, hosking. So I raised the subject
with you know who, and I said, what about the
(14:18):
New Brighton Maull. I also read about the New Brighton
Maull over the weekend. I remember when the New Brighton
Mall was pumping. Then it died to death. It was
the only place in New Zealand that would opened on Saturdays,
back in the days when Saturday shopping was a thing.
See Sammy looks at me because he's twelve years old.
There was a time, Sammy when we only did shopping
Monday to Friday. And then they said, tell you what,
let's open its Saturday.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And yeah, but that was back in the day when
ten scents was worth ten scenes before they run away.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, anyway, New Brighton Mall. They're rebuilding that, that's re
emerging as a magnet for the retail community of christ Church.
The prices are through the roof and I'm going, come on,
how about it, you get nap not happening. That's what
I think those were words, exactly, Nah, not happening.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's a very good impersonation, impression. Never heard her talk
quite that way. He might have been exaggerating things a
bit there. I am a glen Heart. There was the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We'll be back to exaggerate things for comic effect again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We see either

And let's not talk about the suit that he's wearing
to the radio.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Very interesting last year.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It gives us so much material.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
It's so incredible. Last year at the Radio Awards, which
are coming up this Thursday, by the way, it's a
big week for the radio industry, and we're nominated a lot,
and Sammy's nominated. You're nominated best as what best what producer? Okay,
clothes horse, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So anyway, last year, he'd just come back from a
third world country I can't remember, as Vietnam or Cambodia
or something like that, and he'd bought a suit and
it was a suit the likes of which none of
us had ever seen. It was incredible. I mean, for
a start, it was green. Green wasn't and isn't it
hasn't been in as far as I know, forever. Anyway,
it was green. It's green suit. He went and got
(09:32):
this specially made and I thought it was fantastic, so
we highlighted that at the evening.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It had a sort of a sheen toche.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
I said, shine, you say sheen, but yep, yep, it
glowed and lo and behold as we're building up, of course,
and we just sit around discussing what we're going to do.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Before we go on. Sometimes people worry that this is bullying,
that we're bullying.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Who worries about that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I've had people close.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
To me say, for goodness say and because Sam doesn't
have a mic and can't defend himself.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
And doesn't want to mike, he can't afford one, can't I.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Feel like that that if he didn't, you know, say
these things, do these things?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is saying in precisely relaying the things that he's said
and done.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Exactly so unknown to me or he actually when he
went and got the green suit made, he went and
had another suit made, two suits made, two suits for
one hundred and ninety nine dollars one hundred dollars a
suit if you wear them twice fifty bucks. Aware it's incredible.
So anyway, this year, this this.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I didn't even think Helenstein's does it doubt?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
They don't even come close to it. Do you like
that this year's color is gray? Now that under sells it.
I have in my mind what really it is? It's
a lightish gray. I strongly suspect it's got a small
sparkle in it, certainly a shine and small sparkle. So
it's a light, shiny, sparkly gray suit, is what I
think it is. So he'll be daybuing this on Anyway,
(10:53):
where was I? So? Sammy used to go out in
business and gtr to Tacaninny. Was it for the do
buy chocolate? Went out to Tacaninny for the do buy chocolate?
And he used to buy it? What do you call that?
It's sort of undercover or something. Isn't it sort of
dark market? The dark net? Where have you got iss
do buy chocolate from? Anyway? The point of it was
(11:14):
I didn't realize that everybody all over the world is
making now do buy chocolate because the whole thing has
taken off. You can it used to be only available
at Dubai International Airport. You realize that's where it started,
was at Dubai International Airport, and then everyone started ripping
it off lint. Do you know how much Lint have
made out of Dubai chocolate? Six point two billion dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I wonder how much lake Man have made out of
their do Bai chocolate stout? Have you tried that?
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I've never heard of any of that, So Lakeman, lake Man.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, so it's a it's a stout maker, well a
beer maker and based on Tell Paul and they have
they do a very nice chocolate stout. Okay, but they
also have a do Bai chocolate stout.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
What do you pay for that?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well a bit more than that's the normal chocolate stout.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Man.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
So it's got a sort of pistachio color highlights on
the on the on the you see.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Okay, we need a six pack. Can you need a
six pack of that? We need a six pack of that.
We'll bust it open on Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Now like how o, how tael sweet? Because we're pret
pre load before the awards. It's the it's the suit.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Going to be shiny enough for that to just slip
off when the can goes. Yeah, the lake it's probably
my favorite chocolate stout at the moment.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
The lake Man. I used to really like the Mulla.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
They did a co lab with Lewis Road Primary and
they did a chocolate milk stout and I didn't think
you could get it anymore, but I just looked it
up and your stick can still get it. But they
don't seem to stock it at my supermarket, so I
have to stick with lake Man. I think the lake
Man one is a bit cheaper as well. I mean castles,
(13:03):
the old castles, the award winning castles. That's always a
go to, but a bit low on the alcohol content.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
For my.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Rewrapped.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I sound a bit like mate Husking. Don't know. He
wants the worries to be on at a convenient time
for him.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I want the chocolate stat to be available to me
at a good price. And Michael also wants to move
to christ Church, but he's not going to get to
by the sounds of things.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
I also read over the week in New Brighton, and
having come from christ we had a conversation in the house,
another one of our windo we move to christ Church.
Conversations in the house didn't go well. I've got to
admit I'll disclose that right from the start, but I
spent quite a bit of last week and I mentioned
it on the program education Minister in christ Church announcing
all the schools, and I'm thinking, go ahead, go ahead.
I want to be part of a go ahead place.
(13:47):
So I'm seeing that, and then I'm reading also over
the weekend in one roof that the christ Church house
prices back to pre COVID peak. They're back. Are they
back anywhere else?
Speaker 3 (13:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Are they back in a well Queenstown, Yes, but christ
Church the bounce back white because it's a growing region.
Prices are up one point four percent and three months.
So I'm thinking to myself, the investor and me goes
to get in for it's too late. I don't want
to go in too late and go you know, you're
late to the party, hosking. So I raised the subject
with you know who, and I said, what about the
(14:18):
New Brighton Maull. I also read about the New Brighton
Maull over the weekend. I remember when the New Brighton
Mall was pumping. Then it died to death. It was
the only place in New Zealand that would opened on Saturdays,
back in the days when Saturday shopping was a thing.
See Sammy looks at me because he's twelve years old.
There was a time, Sammy when we only did shopping
Monday to Friday. And then they said, tell you what,
let's open its Saturday.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And yeah, but that was back in the day when
ten scents was worth ten scenes before they run away.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, anyway, New Brighton Mall. They're rebuilding that, that's re
emerging as a magnet for the retail community of christ Church.
The prices are through the roof and I'm going, come on,
how about it, you get nap not happening. That's what
I think those were words, exactly, Nah, not happening.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
It's a very good impersonation, impression. Never heard her talk
quite that way. He might have been exaggerating things a
bit there. I am a glen Heart. There was the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We'll be back to exaggerate things for comic effect again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
We see either
