Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk zed B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
The Rewrap.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay Idea and Welcome to the Rewrap for Friday. All
the best but from the microsting breakfast on Newsboos. It'd
be in a sillier package. I am Glen Hart and
today Winston Peter's being in fine health. I think sixty
year old Mike Hosking is taking heart from that. We
will mark the week because of it is Friday, and

(00:46):
that is what we do. But a lot of the
week we've spent worrying Angstein, bringing our hands over the
fate of Liam Lawson, and now it has been sealed.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Marco Helmet claims one they're missing Adrian Newey, hence the
cars such as shambles, and that's true, and Adrian Newey's
magic is going to be seen in the Aston Martinez
of next year with all the regulations change. He also
said I thought very interestingly that putting laws in him
was a quote mistake. He was unable to cope with
the pressure, which is interesting because they were rock solid

(01:20):
cast iron. Believing that he could cope with the pressure.
It's a difficult car to drive. The Racing Bull is
easier to handle on very fast on a qualifying lapard
and the race significantly behind the rate of the Red
Bull Racing car. But he lost confidence and pulling him
in the car was a mistake. His old, brutal, old helmet.
Isn't he'd be fun at He'd be fun at Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I mean it's going to go either way, isn't it.
When your name's Helmet. You're either going to have a
bit of a sense to humor about life or you're
going to have a constant chip on your shoulder and
take everything far too seriously. And I think we know
which way this particular helmet has gone.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Rewrap.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
But yes, even people who never ever cared about if
One before seem to really care about Liam Lawson.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Because it turns out Liam was in a second grade
car anyway, at Red Bull was working with second grade
management as well. His path now should be to do
well with Racing Bulls and then move to another team.
Poor Yuki, who's now been the poison Chelice. That is true,
because of course you got to remember Yuki's with Hondra,
and Hondra are leaving Red Bull at the end of
the season they're changing Injura manufacturer, so Yuki's dispensable. Mike
Liam will score points and maybe a podium or two

(02:26):
with v carp No, he won't. He might score points.
I would. I mean, god, I hope you're right. Imagine
if he was on a podium with VK it wouldn't
need to be a rainy day. Something weird would need
to happen. That car is not fast enough over fifty
four or seventy two laps to get anywhere close to one,
two or three. I think he will leave RB in
twenty twenty six, got a good relationship with Adrian Newe. Well,
the problem with NUI is Aston Martin. And the problem

(02:49):
with Aston Martin is it's own by Stroll, and Stroll
likes his son, little Lancey, and that's why Lances in
the car. So as long as Lawrence is there, lances
in the car. I suppose you wait for Alonzo to
retire and maybe there's an opportunity there. I'm glad you're
immersed in the story because as a IF one freak,

(03:09):
it's been fascinating this week or the last couple of
weeks to just watch the interest of broader based non
if one followers to get involved in the story.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
So you're glad about that. You don't find it annoying
that a bunch of know nothing bozos feel like they've got.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
To stick there or no, no, no, you dip your
toe in and before you know it, you're a friend Lynn.
That's how it works.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
The really annoying thing for me with the Lee and
Lawson thing is that because I've googled him up a
few times and googled out things like, you know, when's
the F one sprint race happening in China this weekend
and stuff like that, my Google feed now just prompts
me just endless every second thing that it says I
should be looking at. It's something to do with formula one,

(03:49):
and I really don't care. I don't even really care
that much about Lee Lawson anymore now that he's a loser.
I mean, I know, am I sending a bit helmet
marko there? I might be rerout Because one thing's for sure,
you shouldn't fully young people. I know that, and he's
definitely a young people. They always seem to be young people.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Actually, these drivers, Mike, I know absolutely nothing about the
cow racing, but I'm fascinated by what's happening with Liam.
I often feel when young people who are extremely good
at sport, for example, gymnastics miss out on very important
part of what is normal development from children into teenage years,
so much pressure and expectation. I couldn't disagree with you more.
I know what you're saying, and I get it. And
there'll be any number of young people in Hollywood that

(04:27):
went through the Disney program and were Mouseketeers that turned
out to be complete and other basket cases in later life,
and that process seems to be a problem. But the
idea of sport, what I've learned as a parent of
five over the years is one, don't take your kid
to every sport they want to try. Big, big mistake.
All it is is hours and miles in a car

(04:49):
going nowhere. And you're probably and you'll hate me for
saying this, You're probably better off going this is not
going to happen for you. I'm going to the Olympics.
I'm going to win a medal, I'm going to be
a world record holder. I'm going to play in the NBA.
I'm going to play in the NFL. Chances are no,
you're not but every now and again. A motor racing

(05:10):
is a very good example of this. When kids start
young and there's nothing wrong with putting a kid in
a go kart. You see it and you go there's
something there, and you would be remiss as a parent
not to explore that to its maximum or nth degree,
because you don't want to be a parent who then
goes what if? And so I support Liam's parents and

(05:32):
all the other parents like it who have let their
kids live their dream and to a degree still living
a dream.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
When you kuld say I could be that influencer, I
could be one of the most important people in the world.
Like Andrew Tate, you.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Well, first of all, you failed as a parent immediately,
so you give yourself an upper cut on they really
have to do a say no, you can't.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
And if you have missed that reference. Andrew Tate the
earlier in the week, bringing back to Romania, describes himself
as being one of the most important people in the world.
He's the only person I've ever heard described himself as
being one of the most important people in the world.
Jokes are so much when you explain them. I think
the rewrap one of the most important people in New

(06:12):
Zealand as Winston Peters sometimes he's in charge of us
and he's not getting any younger, but it doesn't seem
to be stowing him down.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
The most uplifting part of the week for me anyway,
in terms of news, was the combination of Winston Peters
and as very wise words the other day on diet
and work in the release of the numbers from the
Stats Department of those who are working beyond sixty five
in fact, not just sixty five, but seventy eighty and ninety.
For Peters, who made the advice so useful, is you
can argue he's never been more relevant and more effective.

(06:41):
Age is one thing, but performance is another. Take politics
out of it. He would be the match for anyone
in the current political game. There would be few, if any,
that would question his work, ethic, the miles he's covering,
the effort he's making and putting us back on the
international map, and he's doing so at almost eighty. The
trouble with age, as we still focus on the numbers.
Say whatever you want about Trump, but he's a good
seventy eight while Biden was very poor eighty two. In fact,

(07:04):
I'm surprised at sixty five is still a thing. It
only gets attention because, of course superannuation. There's an official
attachment to the age. You get money for a so
called life of work, you can retire, you're old, you
get a gold card for a ferry ride. The really
upbeat aspect of all of this is that it wasn't
so long ago that age and work was an issue,
but for negative reasons, older workers will let go. They
had trouble getting new jobs. Roles for women of a

(07:26):
certain age in Hollywood became a thing. It all seems
to have been reversed, and dare I suggest it it's
been helped by the reputation, whether real or imagined, that
the so called new generation aren't really that interested in working.
COVID ruined a lot of us work life balance became
a thing. Work from home became a thing. Quite quitting
became a thing. As more and more younger people moaned

(07:47):
and complained and slacked off, the diligence, consistency, and institutional
knowledge of the older worker increased in value. The Winston
Peter's knowledge and experience in the Parliament is to be
seen any question time you want to look. He runs
rings around most of them, and he has purpose. And
as the Asian cultures in particular will tell you, age
is but a number and purpose is everything interesting.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Off the back of that, in our Review the Week
segment this morning, Tim Wilson said something along the lines
of it's not enough to have purpose. You've got to,
you know, because dictators have purpose. And I took asue
with that because I thought, well, just because somebody's purpose
isn't the same as your purpose doesn't mean that you're

(08:28):
not successful. I mean, you don't get to be a
dictator by accident.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
The re wrap.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Stop being silly, Glenn, and just do mark the week
because it's Friday and that's what we do on Fridays.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'm now to make the week little piece of news
and currentterfeas that's as popular as the searchers for one
last time after seventy years at Glasto RMA this week seven.
So it is dry, but it's important. All that is
wrong with it partially tells the story of the stagnation
of this country. If the reforms work, we are free
at last, or at least on an easier path. Are
the Commonwealth seven. Trump wants to join America wants to

(08:58):
join the Commonwealth. I mean that's a group going place.
Is clearly signal one, a very good sign of how
mad and dope that lot are. A platform they shouldn't
have even been on a denial that got blown out
of the wall an attack campaign that made them look pathetic.
Are the Warriors seven? Not just two wins in a row,
but two very good wins in a row and a
third on Sunday with the Tigers. Liam Lawson too. Yes

(09:22):
it's sport and yes it's tough, but this is at
the hard end of hard calls, that line between dream
lived and dream chatterday Fungerray Council won, god hung up
on fur ride, wasted any amount of time arguing about it,
went to court with no money, no budget lost, got
pasted by the judge. Awesome work, guys. Lindsay McKenzie six,
Wellington's Crown Observer who thinks the local body law should

(09:43):
be changed so we get better qualified people to represent us.
Give that man a medal twmoth Paul too. Yes the
Greens are nuts, but Labour want to run the country
with them. Think about it. Housing affordability eight twenty percent
more affordable than this time last year, Seize the Day,
three betties for everyone, Cherry seven a record season. Is

(10:04):
there anyone who doesn't grow stuff that hasn't had a
record season? The Australian budget for blatant bribery with money
they didn't have? Is it old fashioned of me? Too
long for proper leadership, economic discipline, call values and straight
up and down honesty? I mean, really, Winston Peter's.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Eight Mister Hoskins quote my words.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Uplifting view of the week on diet and work. Read
Audrey Young's piece if you haven't already and tell me
you're not impressed. And that's the week copies on the
website and no one involved in the production of this
piece of work was affected by this week's electoral boundary changes.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Was that all right?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
That week?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I hope it was. I was a bit disco populator
today to be perfectly honest behind the scenes, because I
left my security card in domestic manager's car yesterday because
it was due for a service, and then they wanted
to keep the car overnight and I said that's fine,
and then I had forgotten that I'd left my security

(10:55):
card in the side pocket door pocket, so then I
didn't have my security card. Getting into the building is
not that much of a problem. With the security guard
knows who I am, he let me in. Unfortunately, attached
to the security card is also the key to my life.
And I'd put my laptop in my locker, which I
don't normally do, but I did this time because I

(11:17):
didn't want to take my laptop to the garage with
domestic manager's car and have to walk home with my laptop.
See how a butterfly flapped its wings? And before you
know it, I'm telling long, boring stories that you didn't
need to hear. I am Glenn, so I had to
use a different computer, different couldn't get the stuff, different headbones,

(11:37):
so I maybe there were one or two less sound effects.
Will you let me off this, just this once? I
promise not to do it again. I promised to try
not to do it again. I'll see you back here.
