Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there, welcome to the Rewrap for Monday. All the
best bits from the Mike Husking Breakfast on News Talk
SEIB and a Sillier package. I am Glen Hart and yes,
Mike is back today and he wants to tell you
about a car crash and dealing with his car insurance.
He's also got a few US conspiracy theories to look at,
(00:47):
and we will finish up by slamming the idea of
holidays generally. But before any of that, is this the
end for councils.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Finally, the government amendment bill that they were talking about
last week. Last week the local councils all got together
and had a big gab fest and some of the
government ministers went along and gave them a rocket. Not
that it will make any difference, but they're looking at
taking out socially, economic, environmental and cultural aspects of what
they do. That was reintroduced by the Labor government in
twenty nineteen, and the idea being that you stick with
burms and the basics of councils and what I was
(01:17):
saying to it was off there and I don't think
I'm breaching any confidence.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Eve.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
What I was saying of Heed to the Prime Minister
is you can go along to these get togethers, but
until you force them into something. This is one of
the government's going to need to move on regional councils
and basically get rid of them. Until you move on them,
they're not going to do it because they hate you.
Most most councils in this country don't like the government
and they don't want the government to tell them what
to do. And you can remove all the words in
(01:43):
the world like social and economic and environmental and cultural
until you blue in the face, but you're not going
to change anything. And then the problem with not changing
anything is the problem then comes back to the government
because it's not Although you should look to the council.
When your council sends you a rates bill of twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
eighteen nineteen percent, you should be outraged and you should
(02:04):
be outraged at the council, but you won't be You'll
be outraged the government because it's inflationary and you're not
getting a hidd in life and the economy is no
good and you're in a funk, and so it's them
that becomes an issue. And then of course the next thing,
you know, it's election to you and they're going to
have to defend it. So they're going to need to
less talk, more action, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
The more I think about all this stuff, the more
I rate and frustrated. I've become the fact that we
have to vote twice and pay two lots of taxes.
It's not on I don't mind paying the same amount
of text, but I don't want to do text and
rates anymore. I just want to do one rewrap and
(02:45):
surely just by combining the two there'll be savings to
be made.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Surely.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Anyway, the most exciting thing that happened to Mike while
he was away was his daughter crashed your car. Well,
which I don't think she crashed your car, but her
car got questioned too. Anyway, here's the details.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nice reminder. Over the holidays, I thought that by and
large we are a good cune with good people. So
our youngest, not yet on the full license, but doing
defensive driving as we speaking about to set her test,
was involved in her first accident. Not just an accident,
but a multi car pile up on the motorway, not
her fault, but three cars and a caravan and eventually
(03:27):
seven people involved. We're in the country. She was traveling
back to town having been with us the night before.
The cause of the crash was an idiot who mistook
a red like that wasn't for him. He breaks, everyone breaks.
Our daughter's following far enough behind not to hit him, so,
in fact, was the car behind her. So far so good. Sadly,
(03:48):
the car towing the caravan could not complete the hat trick,
so worth two small a gap. He slides with caravan
into the car in front of him, that in turn
shunts the car into our daughters. Three cars and a
caravan badly damaged. Daughter is and teas on the phone
to mum. As luck would have it, there are two
nurses on the way back from a pub lunch. No drinking.
(04:08):
Their nurses. They stop and they start asking medical questions.
They are kind and reassuring and professional. Also, as luck
would have it, an unmarked police car is close by
pulls up equally professional, kind and reassuring, except to the
bloke telling the caravan he gets an earful for the
following distances the bloke who caused it all, having seen
them as scarp as he may or may not get caught,
(04:31):
but it's a white Toyota aqua and he's a prick.
So left at the scene. Two blokes with total cars
and a daughter with a driverble but badly damaged car,
a caravan, two nurses and a cop. The two blokes
turn out to be as kind and reassuring to our
daughter as both the nurses and the cop. She's worried
they'll yell at her despite the fact it's not her fault.
(04:53):
They calm her down, They give her all their details,
and later that night they follow up with texts to
make sure she's okay. That to me, I've been thinking
in the last week. That to me is New Zealand.
You grab seven people, most of them will be decent,
most of them will do the right thing. Mostly you
will be reassured that we're a decent society. Yes, they'll
(05:13):
always be one. They're the sort that make the news.
The rest of the time, it's just us, good people
with good intent and a decent set of manners and morals.
Our daughter came away all things considered in pretty good
shape and reassured, and as it turns out, me too.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I don't know that you'd be giving your mobile number
out as a young women to a couple of middle
aged guys just randomly so they can then text you
in the middle of the nights. I don't know if
i'd be as happy about that as MKE seems to be. Anyway,
when your car gets totled, well, you don't know if
your cars been totaled, do you, until you contact the
(05:48):
insurance and then they'll tell you whether it is or
it isn't.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And we got to the insurance and Star Insurance, and
this is not an ad. We just happened to be
with Star Insurance. And we were with Star Insurance funny enough,
and I discovered them. I can't remember how I discovered them,
and I can't remember what larger company they're part of,
but the larger company they're part of, I think we
were with them, and I was unimpressed with what they're about,
and so I went to another company, which turned out
(06:11):
to be Star Insurance, and they're fantastic. And then I
found out that they were part of the larger company,
and I couldn't work out if you're really good as
the smaller company, i e. Star Insurance, how can you
larger company isn't any good? How can a small part
of the company be really good but the larger company
you'd no good. Anyway, we went Star Insurance. We got
the payout because the car got totaled in the end,
and so we had the write off. So we had
(06:32):
the trauma of the first car being totaled and then
the debate as to whether or not it was worth
paying extra money to get it untotaled so that we
could get the car back. Because we love the car
so much, we wanted to keep driving it forever, and
we needed to explain that that's not how life works.
But there was a discussion also that insurance companies are
total in cars too often these days, because it's stupid
(06:54):
to just total them and don't worry about it and
then just go out and buy a new one. So
we had to go out and buy a new one,
which was the weekend's activity. Oh you hate that I
meet in a car yard. What do you do?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
So it all worked out well. I haven't even got
to my holiday yet. I've got so much to say
about my holiday.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
But I thought that was I thought you'd arrange for
a car to be damaged, you could go out and
buy another one.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
That was it turned out for some of us more
exciting because we got into the car after buying the
new car, and Katie and I were going, how cool
was that? What a cool car? Didn't we get a
good deal? Don't you love it? And we turn around
and daughters in the back going, oh, it's all right.
She wasn't remotely interested. Doesn't even like the car apparently anyway,
So we'll have to turn around on that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So this is a terrible blunder from Mike on the
insurance company, the Star Insurance. I mean, he said it's
not on air, but they are one of our most
loyal advertisers. They have adds in our show all the
time on our station.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
How is it?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's what he should be saying. That's where we heard
it from on the station. That's why they go there,
Come on, Mike, join the Team's rewrap.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I always worry when Mike's been away, especially for a
long time, and two weeks is a relatively long time
that he's just going to come back and talk about
all the stuff that we've already been talking about the
last two weeks. Wasn't too bad on that this morning,
this is kind of half and half.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
This thing conspiracy ran a muck last week, has won.
The Epstein case exploded into places it never needed to
and two Stephen Colder got canceled and linear television change forever.
Epstein was a scandal because in part Trump and his
mates made it one. Papers were to be released, the
truth exposed the dirty air for all to see. Pam Bondi,
the AG famously said the fire was on her desk.
(08:38):
Turns out it wasn't. What was on her desk was
a very small part of what might or might not
be explosive. She decided it didn't need releasing. There was
no story. The President joined and told everyone to move on.
Couldn't believe they're still interested. That didn't work, of course,
so he tarcoed it and Bondie and the DOJ will
release something shortly. Whether that quells those that bay I doubted.
The War Street Journal didn't help with the claim of
(08:59):
a drawing by Trump for a birthday of Epstein's lawyer's
got called in on that one. The suit against Murdock
is now on for ten billion meantime. Back at CBS Biracy,
theorists were out in force, telling as Colber got sacked
because he was a Trump hater, and the CBS Paramount
Skydiance deal which got the Trump's seal of approval, was
achieved by Trump getting money out of the Harris inter
w lawsuit and Colber getting booted. Colber got booted, I
(09:21):
can tell you because this show doesn't make any money.
Late night television is dying, has been for years. Three
years ago. Here's a fun fact. Three years ago, all
the late night shows put together brought in about four
hundred and fifty million dollars a year in ads. Last
year that fell to two hundred and twenty four to
fifty down to two twenty. It's about a fifty percent drop.
You don't make money on those numbers. Colbert's show alone
(09:42):
had two hundred people working on at the times. They
are a changing and as shocking as the call was,
there was no conspiracy. What the Murdoch lawsuit did was
get the Magan nutters off Trump's case for a while
ober Epstein, but didn't last long. The only thing that
was momentarily even bigger than that were the two SAPs
who got caught in the Chris Martin kiscam disaster. Their
lives and jobs appear over and I'm sure lawyers are
(10:04):
involved in that as well, So insummation. If you're having
an affair, don't go to concert. Linear television is going
through profound change, so it's not just here, it's everywhere.
And the Epstein thing I don't actually think is a scandal.
They make it up to be it suited their political
purposes until it didn't. He's dead, she's in jail, and
you can't tell a conspiracy theorist there's no conspiracy after
you told them there was. That piece of stupidity is
(10:26):
on Trump.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Apparently he's still quite frequently posts like QAnon based memes
and reposts and likes QAnon style tweets on his true
social so he hasn't really let up. It's a very
(10:47):
push me pull your situation with the tinfoil hat wearers,
And I don't know if you want to be messing
around with them too much, because you can only let
them down so many times before I'll do something weird.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
You would think the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
As I say, so, Mike's back from holiday, but I
don't think he really enjoyed it, to be perfectly Frank.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Mike, I'm with the PM. You have more holidays than anyone.
You went on holiday first week of December and not
back until February. Are you serious? Well, yes I am,
and it does bring It does bring to the I
regret going on holiday these last two weeks, and I'll
have to expand on it after eight thirty. I made
a mistake and I tried to rectify it before I went,
(11:30):
and I couldn't. And I reckon there are certain people
in life, and it could be just my stage of life,
but there are certain people of life who it's all right.
I mean, holidays are okay. I think of long weekends
about me a Monday. If you want to stretch it
out a Friday and a Monday, call it Easter. I
don't care. That's about what I need. As for two
weeks it was ridiculous. I'm going to cancel the rest
(11:51):
of my holidays this year. I was going, I think
in September, so I'm not going now.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I'll be happy to use up whatever he doesn't want.
Can you do that? Can you transfer your lead to
somebody else, because I'll lap it up. I'll take as
much as he's got going. My boss sits me the
other day somebody who's talking about retirement and how you know,
people don't like it and they get bored of it,
and so then they want to come back. And my
(12:17):
boss said to me that I'd be the same, and
I said, I looked at him like he'd grown a
tree out of his forehead, because all I have ever
wanted to do is retire. My favorite thing to do
is nothing at all. If there was one person in
this world who was built to be permanently on holiday,
(12:38):
it's me, or please don't find me. I am a
glean hat for so for the moment, I'll we'll be
back here again tomorrow unless the boss here's this, in
which day noy won't be. Hopefully I'll see you that.

Finally, the government amendment bill that they were talking about
last week. Last week the local councils all got together
and had a big gab fest and some of the
government ministers went along and gave them a rocket. Not
that it will make any difference, but they're looking at
taking out socially, economic, environmental and cultural aspects of what
they do. That was reintroduced by the Labor government in
twenty nineteen, and the idea being that you stick with
burms and the basics of councils and what I was
(01:17):
saying to it was off there and I don't think
I'm breaching any confidence.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You would think the rewrap.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
As I say, so, Mike's back from holiday, but I
don't think he really enjoyed it, to be perfectly Frank.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Mike, I'm with the PM. You have more holidays than anyone.
You went on holiday first week of December and not
back until February. Are you serious? Well, yes I am,
and it does bring It does bring to the I
regret going on holiday these last two weeks, and I'll
have to expand on it after eight thirty. I made
a mistake and I tried to rectify it before I went,
(11:30):
and I couldn't. And I reckon there are certain people
in life, and it could be just my stage of life,
but there are certain people of life who it's all right.
I mean, holidays are okay. I think of long weekends
about me a Monday. If you want to stretch it
out a Friday and a Monday, call it Easter. I
don't care. That's about what I need. As for two
weeks it was ridiculous. I'm going to cancel the rest
(11:51):
of my holidays this year. I was going, I think
in September, so I'm not going now.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I'll be happy to use up whatever he doesn't want.
Can you do that? Can you transfer your lead to
somebody else, because I'll lap it up. I'll take as
much as he's got going. My boss sits me the
other day somebody who's talking about retirement and how you know,
people don't like it and they get bored of it,
and so then they want to come back. And my
(12:17):
boss said to me that I'd be the same, and
I said, I looked at him like he'd grown a
tree out of his forehead, because all I have ever
wanted to do is retire. My favorite thing to do
is nothing at all. If there was one person in
this world who was built to be permanently on holiday,
(12:38):
it's me, or please don't find me. I am a
glean hat for so for the moment, I'll we'll be
back here again tomorrow unless the boss here's this, in
which day noy won't be. Hopefully I'll see you that.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
