Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the Rewrap for Tuesday, all
the best bits from the mic asking breakfast on Newstorms.
It'd be in a sillier package. I am Glen Hart today.
Helicopter nonsense and a better nuts and wine or wine
and nuts, which may actually have led to a full
(00:47):
on wine box and quiery now that I think about it.
But before any of that, these left wingers and there
their money ideas, that their ideas about the economy. These
know nothing bozos are.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
The fiscally illiterate making a comeback. So New York decided
a bloke who will eventually run the place bankrupt should
be the next mayor. He will tax make a lot
of stuff free. He will watch business leave town, thus
shrinking the tax pull. He will most likely make New
York look like San Francisco. Britain already a fiscal mess,
has what looked for a while like a moderate version
(01:22):
of the labor government. They saw the trouble they had
made at least not unreasonable noises about sorting things out
until now. Of course, welfare reform is undoing Starmer's good
work by winning so lavishly at the election. He has
a very large caucus, over one hundred and twenty of
them are not economically that attuned to the plight of
the country, and despite the welfare bill running them to
the poor house, they have decided the reform program that
(01:42):
would have cut five billion pounds off it is not acceptable.
So they threaten the Prime Minister and they have won.
He has back down. The back down is a massive
humiliation the government with a mandate until the mandate was hijacked,
such as the political cycle. Many of the what many
of the agreed will not be back next time, but
when they're gone, the problem they refuse to face will
(02:03):
still be real. This all leads to the question when
is political success not success? Answer when you are Kia
Stama with a party that doesn't align with your thinking.
Another question is democracy so valuable that you back it
even when the people and in the Democrats case in
New York, a very small collection to people vote to
destroy what has made you great. For all the fearmongering
(02:26):
that's gone on in certain parts of EUROPEA with the
so called far right in their rise, is the worry
not equally shared by the rise of certain parts of
the world of the far left. If you can ban
the AfD in Germany, can you ban the crazies in
New York? Is the vetting process in need of an
overhaul in UK labor? So the far left don't hijack
the joint? Is this some movement or just a couple
of examples? And a bigger question for you when you
(02:48):
have wrecked the place like Portland or San Francisco, or
the debt is ballooned in Britain to the point where
the payments on interest are ruinous, do those who wanted
it like it and see it as a success or
don't they care?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, well, Chris, what you've got there is a clessic
case of ideas versus reality, isn't it. But to be honest,
I'd not sure how realistic some of these right wingers
are either. As you know, they seem to be back
into fossil fuels and petrol pawd cars and tracks and things.
(03:23):
As you know, we get record heat wave temperatures and
the summer's only just begun in the northern hemisphere, So
you know, I don't know that either side is particularly
in touch with reality. Reality is overrated. I reckon it's
the rewrap right time to keep it real. We all
(03:44):
need a helicopter in our backyard, right you're feeling me?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It is such an awklandition, isn't it. Helicopters. I love
helicopters by the way I've flown, and a lot of
helicopters now places on a flight path north. People who
go to the Bay of Islands and to the flesh
golf courses north of Auckland. They fly over our place
on a sunny Saturday. They start maybe fo or six
thirtish in summer on a on a still day. You
can hear them coming, maybe thirty seconds before you might
see them. And because I like them, I've never understood why,
(04:11):
you know, for example, the y Hecki monas who can't
stand and want them banned on the island. A helicopter
to me is full of people going places, you know,
tourists and golfers. These are people we like and people
we want. Anyway, if you haven't followed the story, Eli
Williams once in All Black and Ana Mobray, part of
the Zuru clan, are a couple and they got a
house in Westmere, which is an inner city suburb if
(04:32):
you're listening outside of Buckland. They applied to land their
helicopter at their place. Que the horror. Far too much
money and time has been spent on this whole issue.
Fourteen hundred submissions, that's right, one thousand, four hundred submissions.
But what was mad about it was one A number
of submissions submitted said that they had no view. You
(04:53):
can't make this stuff up. The number of people who
were clearly bored out of their brains is unbelievable. Too
many a submission against their use of a chopper in
suburbia came from people who don't even live in Auckland,
not only not close to the landing pad, but not
even the the same city. It's got nothing to do
with you, so Lawyer's Council, staff, submissions, hearings, Lord knows
(05:15):
how many hoursand dollars, and as you will have heard
Williams and Mowbray one they can land at their place
two times a day, no more than ten times a month.
There is nothing said the commissioners untoward unacceptable or significantly
out of character with helicopter noise, which I think is
fair enough. But two questions one, how many god exercise
(05:35):
do you reckon out of petty jealousy? Oh, they're rich,
so we don't like rich people doing rich people's stuff,
so we'll complain about it. And two, how unpopular do
you reckon? It makes them locally? And I suppose question
number three do they care? There is, of course, the
precedent that's been set now Suburbia and choppers are now
apparently no big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Very all.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I a little while ago watched a Netflix show called
The Territory. I don't know if you've heard of it.
It was sort of slated to be an Australian outback
version of Succession meets Yellowstone, and I guess there were
(06:21):
elements of that, and that it was like a you know,
it was set on a family what do they call
them in the Territory? A station, you know, a kettle station. Anyway,
the point the reason I'm a terrible program, terrible or writing,
terrible acting. It was quite cool to look at and
(06:42):
they got around on helicopters for the most part, and
that's fine because you don't really have any neighbors on
the world's largest kettle station. But I, yeah, I'm definitely
taking ant in my backyard view of this one like
people can have all the helicopters they want, just don't
fly them next to my house or over it. I mean,
(07:06):
there's nothing louder than a helicopter? Is there a rewrap? Right? Classic? Listen?
And how you know random comments can lead to scandal
this morning, let's start with the first bit of randomness.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Oh my gosh, I'm in my eighties. It's not me talking.
I'm in my eighties and would never have considered not
going to school. Rain Hale or Shine. Can't believe that
the school principle would send out a message suggesting they
may need to stay at home. No wonder school attendance
where it is gay you quite run. I met another
eight year old yesterday as in the wine shop when
saw my mate Sebastian at the wine shop, which brings
me to the health problem that I don't have time
(07:42):
to tell you about, but I will later.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Maybe anyway, so.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Related to your inability to tune nuts that suddenly come
on this morning?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
No, actually no completely it could be well could but
if that's medical yet new anyway, So I'm standing at
the wine shop yesterday and the day as a walk
in the door lady turns around from the country goes, oh,
I no you, which is what a lot of people
say to me, and then there's nothing really you can
do apart from that, go do.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You or oh?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I mean obviously you don't want to say, well, of
course you'd I'm Mike Hoskin because that would just be stupid.
So you go, oh, well, that's nice, and then they
sort of go and confirm who you are, which is
also slightly uncomfortable. Then they go I love your show.
Now I've got a prerehearsed answer to that, which is
always oh, that's very nice of you, thank you so much.
And that makes me sound humble, which my wife constantly
(08:26):
tells me to be. She goes, if you're going out
in public, please please.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Be saying something to deliberately sound Does that kind of
defeat the purpose or.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I don't know, but because I say it a lot,
I don't want it to sound rehearsed, like ah he
says that to everybody that sounds rehearsed, because then that
would not make me sound humble. It would just make
me sound like the prac that you clearly just endured
for the last thirty seconds. Anyway, I've now run out
of time on the story.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So yeah, you probably needed to know that Mike was
attacked by his own nuts earlier on in the show.
I think he suspected the almonds giving him causing him
to choke. But I think it has a I don't
know if you want to be chewing something as solid
as a nut, do you? It's a rewrap it anyway.
Of course, the key part of that story was he
(09:16):
was in the wine shop. What exactly was he doing
in the wine shop?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Back to the eighty year old at the wine shop?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
So just to inform you and not bore you, although
possibly bore you, but inform you at the same time.
So one two and sixty I go along to the
doctor under instruction from some people who won't be named.
So I go along to the doctor and they poking
propt me in that whole let's see how you are
and how long you're gonna live type vibe, and so
I do all of that, and that's mine. Then do
the blood's come back, and bloods are all fine. In fact,
(09:42):
the doctor said to me, go congratulations, might congratulations, might wow.
I think he used the word wow. I think he
used the word wow.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So your hearing didn't come back quite probably not.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So I said, look look at the old cholesterol there.
I said, look at that cholesterol. I said, do you reckon?
That could be a bit better. He goes, it could
always be better, Mike. You know, in the way that
doctors talked to you. It could always be better, Mike.
And I said, do you reckon? That could be the drinking.
He goes, Possibly, And so that's why I gave up drinking.
When I say gave up drinking, didn't give up drinking completely,
(10:12):
gave up drinking. I only drink two glasses a week
now one Friday, one said day.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That was me. I used to have a glass of
wine every night.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Occasionally on a bad day, I'd have two glasses of
wine anyway, So I've cut down my drinking substantially to
two glasses of wine per week, with a view that
would improve my cholesterol, or the hope was. I said,
if that's the case, how long will it take for
me to see this? He goes four months? And so right,
I said, June. So June, I go back and get
the bloods done. The other day, came back and guess
(10:40):
what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So it's a wet July for you.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Then it didn't go up, didn't go down, and all
I could think of was think of all the drinking
time i'd lost. Think of all the drinking time i'd.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Lost to Can you sue him for that? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well, it's not his fault, he said, it might be.
But then my wife sent me a story yesterday from
the telegraphs saying all the cancers that are associated with alcohol.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Though that's a thing.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So anyway, so now you've got to go through a
barage of cancer tears, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Presumably, So I don't know what's going on. Anyway. I
came back from the wine shop with some wine yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, I was to say so, and maybe a brief
on loss of enjoymental life, I would have thought.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And she said to me, and she was standing at
the kitchen, She goes, how much do you spend on wine?
I said, why? She goes, because I'm looking at how
much you spent on wine right now on the and electronically,
as soon as I spend it, it comes up on
her screen.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That was another conversation, Sam, do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
There's a way we can funnel some money out of
the coffee account, which Mike hasn't been using very match
of lately, for more into a wine account.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't know. So anyway, luckily for you.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
My loyal listeners, if not followers. No, she don't follow me.
That sounds a bit creepy. Just listen. I've got a
secret sauce. The rewrap in My secret Sauce had a
bit more information on how the discussion about the wine went.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Mike ad is one hundred years old Saturday. Brilliant, well done, congratulations,
he still enjoys his daily.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wine at lunchtime and dinner.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, it's the Queen. The Queen had four drinks a
day to at lunch to at dinner.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She probably had quite a big budget for it. I'm
just getting some information from a source who shall remain
anonymous at this point. So is it true that you
agreed a budget for the wine for the holidays? Yes?
Or no?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
No, it's just for this trip. I know this is
good story, so I agree to budget. I said, what
about I do this this because my friend Sebastian sends
me a list of wine he's got, and I go,
what about this, this, this, this, this, this, this and
this and she goes, how much is that? And I
tell her a number and she goes, right, fair enough.
So that was fine. We did agree on that.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So is it then true that you then snack out
no no while your domestic manager was out and.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Then who there sources Glen, and then you then.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
You doubled the agreed budget without her knowledge.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
The problem was this, I didn't realize that what we'd
agreed to was eleven bottles and the box.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It wasn't a budget, it was a quota.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Was a budget, well, it was a budget, but the
budget came to eleven bottles. I didn't realize it was
eleven bottles. And as I stood there looking at the box,
there was eleven bottles in the box and a box
holds twelve, and I thought that's stupid.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
So hang on. So then that doesn't quite marry out
with this bit of information that I've also received from
my sources that you tried to sneak the boxes plural.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Back into the house.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
While she was gone. Then, but then she beat you
home and caught you in the act.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
No, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yes, yes, but the problem with the bo is just
the one bottle. The one bottle turned out because she does.
I said, because the one bottle as a hole in
the box. I said, just filled the bottle. She goes, well,
how much was that?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So what do you when I'm seeing the word boxers.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well, the other one was that was a separate thing,
so it wasn't part of the original box.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So there were two years. There were two boxes.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But I think we're going to have to go away
and research that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
We're running out of time.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It's your honor, but I mean either way, So he
doubled the budget by adding one bottle. Yeah, there's definitely
not enough money in the coffee account to cover that
kind of expense, that's for sure. You should have just
got them delivered by helicopter. I am Glenn Hart. That
(14:43):
was the rewrap as we hit him to wet July.
That's what Mike and I are doing. Anyway, we'll see
you back here again tomorrow for another guy.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
For more from News Talks. I'd be listen live on
air or online and keep our shows with you wherever
you go with our podcasts on iHeartRadio.

So just to inform you and not bore you, although

So one two and sixty I go along to the
doctor under instruction from some people who won't be named.
So I go along to the doctor and they poking
propt me in that whole let's see how you are
and how long you're gonna live type vibe, and so
I do all of that, and that's mine. Then do
the blood's come back, and bloods are all fine. In fact,
(09:42):
the doctor said to me, go congratulations, might congratulations, might wow.
I think he used the word wow. I think he
used the word wow.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
So your hearing didn't come back quite probably not.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So I said, look look at the old cholesterol there.
I said, look at that cholesterol. I said, do you reckon?
That could be a bit better. He goes, it could
always be better, Mike. You know, in the way that
doctors talked to you. It could always be better, Mike.
And I said, do you reckon? That could be the drinking.
He goes, Possibly, And so that's why I gave up drinking.
When I say gave up drinking, didn't give up drinking completely,
(10:12):
gave up drinking. I only drink two glasses a week
now one Friday, one said day.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That was me. I used to have a glass of
wine every night.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Occasionally on a bad day, I'd have two glasses of
wine anyway, So I've cut down my drinking substantially to
two glasses of wine per week, with a view that
would improve my cholesterol, or the hope was. I said,
if that's the case, how long will it take for
me to see this? He goes four months? And so right,
I said, June. So June, I go back and get
the bloods done. The other day, came back and guess
(10:40):
what happened?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Nothing? Absolutely nothing.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
So it's a wet July for you.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Then it didn't go up, didn't go down, and all
I could think of was think of all the drinking
time i'd lost. Think of all the drinking time i'd.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Lost to Can you sue him for that? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Well, it's not his fault, he said, it might be.
But then my wife sent me a story yesterday from
the telegraphs saying all the cancers that are associated with alcohol.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Though that's a thing.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
So anyway, so now you've got to go through a
barage of cancer tears, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Presumably, So I don't know what's going on. Anyway. I
came back from the wine shop with some wine yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, I was to say so, and maybe a brief
on loss of enjoymental life, I would have thought.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And she said to me, and she was standing at
the kitchen, She goes, how much do you spend on wine?
I said, why? She goes, because I'm looking at how
much you spent on wine right now on the and electronically,
as soon as I spend it, it comes up on
her screen.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That was another conversation, Sam, do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (11:38):
There's a way we can funnel some money out of
the coffee account, which Mike hasn't been using very match
of lately, for more into a wine account.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I don't know. So anyway, luckily for you.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
My loyal listeners, if not followers. No, she don't follow me.
That sounds a bit creepy. Just listen. I've got a
secret sauce. The rewrap in My secret Sauce had a
bit more information on how the discussion about the wine went.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Mike ad is one hundred years old Saturday. Brilliant, well done, congratulations,
he still enjoys his daily.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Wine at lunchtime and dinner.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, it's the Queen. The Queen had four drinks a
day to at lunch to at dinner.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
She probably had quite a big budget for it. I'm
just getting some information from a source who shall remain
anonymous at this point. So is it true that you
agreed a budget for the wine for the holidays? Yes?
Or no?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
No, it's just for this trip. I know this is
good story, so I agree to budget. I said, what
about I do this this because my friend Sebastian sends
me a list of wine he's got, and I go,
what about this, this, this, this, this, this, this and
this and she goes, how much is that? And I
tell her a number and she goes, right, fair enough.
So that was fine. We did agree on that.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So is it then true that you then snack out
no no while your domestic manager was out and.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Then who there sources Glen, and then you then.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
You doubled the agreed budget without her knowledge.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
The problem was this, I didn't realize that what we'd
agreed to was eleven bottles and the box.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It wasn't a budget, it was a quota.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Was a budget, well, it was a budget, but the
budget came to eleven bottles. I didn't realize it was
eleven bottles. And as I stood there looking at the box,
there was eleven bottles in the box and a box
holds twelve, and I thought that's stupid.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
So hang on. So then that doesn't quite marry out
with this bit of information that I've also received from
my sources that you tried to sneak the boxes plural.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Back into the house.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
While she was gone. Then, but then she beat you
home and caught you in the act.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
No, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yes, yes, but the problem with the bo is just
the one bottle. The one bottle turned out because she does.
I said, because the one bottle as a hole in
the box. I said, just filled the bottle. She goes, well,
how much was that?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
So what do you when I'm seeing the word boxers.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Well, the other one was that was a separate thing,
so it wasn't part of the original box.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So there were two years. There were two boxes.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
But I think we're going to have to go away
and research that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
We're running out of time.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
It's your honor, but I mean either way, So he
doubled the budget by adding one bottle. Yeah, there's definitely
not enough money in the coffee account to cover that
kind of expense, that's for sure. You should have just
got them delivered by helicopter. I am Glenn Hart. That
(14:43):
was the rewrap as we hit him to wet July.
That's what Mike and I are doing. Anyway, we'll see
you back here again tomorrow for another guy.
