Speaker 2 (00:24):
The Rerap Okaday, Darren, Welcome to the Rewrap for Friday.
All the best bits from the Mike hosting breakfast on
Newstook said be in a sillier package. And today we'll
do a quick recap of where we're at with our
job listings, given that they seem to be having a
bit of an issue in Australia at the moment. We'll
mark the week because it is Friday, and that is
what we do. Brendan McCullum came on the show today
(00:48):
even though everybody seemed to be under the impression that
he doesn't like Mike and Mike doesn't like jeeps and
he'll explain why. But before any of that, hey, what's
with bagging all the good news around at the moment?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Everyone?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Doctor Hoskin would diagnose the kind of funk as a
result of some observations for you this week. So three
I thought three very clear examples these past few days
good news, of uplifting events, of indisputable progress, and yet
for too many it was not a reason to acknowledge
or accept or congratulate, but rather moan a bit more
or find a reason as to why it can't be.
So are the most obvious the ceasefire and hostage come prisoners?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
What now?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
As I said, peace in the Middle East is only
ever temporary, But the bit we witness Tuesday is an
indisputable win. And for now there was much and as
much to be celebrated. And yet the main character the
US President for some was not to be thanked or recognized.
The Greens here went as far as to suggest we
actively don't acknowledge them. They argued. The tireless ground operators
i e. Them are the people who wore the scarfs
(01:42):
and health press conferences were somehow more responsible. So a
mix there of complete delusion and lack of grace are
There were no shortage of obsessives who contacted me raging
about the Palestinian treatment and pro Israeli coverage, even a
cease fire for some as a reason to peckholes, apparently
above celebration and or relief. And then education very clear,
specific and indisputable progress and phonics this week as well
(02:04):
as English and maths in our primary schools. We changed
it up. It's working, Oh, No, A lot of pushback
on that as well. It's only a small sample. How
do we know for sure? A number of interviews on
this very station with Unions principles teachers about as reluctant
as you can get, possibly acknowledging we might be onto something.
But let's see, let me dial up the skepticism just
(02:26):
a bit. Heaven forbid you catch me being enthusiastic. Then
the hospo sector record income. Oh but Mike, that's not profit.
What about the bills? Yes, yes, yes, I get it.
But I'll tell you this for nothing. When the good
news arrives, if you can't see it all worse, you
don't want to see it. You're destined for a life
of well existence of misery and woe in myopia. I mean,
as the nation's funk set in has dual replaced rugby
(02:48):
as the national pastime. Good grace is not that hard.
Sometimes the news is good, Sometimes the outlook is better,
Sometimes the future is bright. Give it a go. It
won't kill you.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, I mean, we're way past green shoots now. I
feel like I feel like, you know, we just need
a bit of blood and bone on there, and things
might even starting, maybe even we'll get.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
To fruit eventually. Who knows who knows where this analogy
will go. It's the rewrap right.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
So job, job, jobs, where are we at the jobs
as the supply of workers meeting the demand? Have we
still got that strange gap where there's sen to be
people on benefits but also people needed to do the work.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
What's happening?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Make Job numbers are from trading this morning, National job market.
This is good promising signs of a pickup. That's their words,
not mine. Listings up thirteen percent compared to the previous quarter.
South Island off and running south and up twenty five
at Tigo's seven Canterbury six Canterbary's had a record number
of job listings in the quarter, largest volume to overall
quarter to quarter increases. That's up twenty two percent. What
(03:56):
can I tell you? A hospital, tourism up sixteen, construction
roading up thirteen You've got to be pleased about that
because somebody texted earlier on saying that until construction moves,
the economy is not moving, which is probably at least
partially right. But construction and roading up thirteen percent, Trades
and services up eight and a half. Nationwide, average pay
now sits at seventy two, eight hundred and twenty dollars.
(04:17):
A number of industries reached average salary. What have we
got banking and financing into that one hundred and three thousand,
healthcare seventy eight thousand, Manufacturing and ops sixty six, admin
sixty seven in the office property one o three, Trades
and services seventy three. Our top three highest paid roles.
If you want to look at that, it which is
programming and development one thirty five, Finance Managers and controllers
(04:38):
one thirty two, in business and systems analyst one twenty six.
See i'd live if you were on an average sellar.
I've said this a million times, but the average salary
around the country is remarkably similar no matter where you are.
Seventy five in Auckland, where's Wellington Accountcy Wellington, you probably
dropped off the list of the EGO seventy five and
Wellington seventy five on the West coast, seventy three in Otaga.
Basically it's seventy one, two or three thousand dollars. So
(05:00):
if you're on the average wage in this country, then
why don't you live somewhere cheap? Why don't you pick
somewhere nice with some sun, go some beach or some land,
farmland so you can go for a walk in the countryside,
earn your average salary in a place that's left it
less expensive. Doesn't that make sense?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And yeah, like I was saying before book, definitely, whatever
you do, don't go to Australia. Yeah, I don't really
anything more to say than they just don't go to Australia.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
For a holiday.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Best fine wrap to say you know it is full
of Australians, So don't say you went warm.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Let's mark the week now.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Week little piece of news and current events that has
seen a twenty three percent improvement. Actually now that's written
with windows eleven. Matt Paane nine. Yes, highlight of the
week didn't just win, but one one of the best
dreams coming through at two hundred and eighty K's on Conrad.
Doesn't get any better than that the seas fire eight.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
At some point that at all, that whole thing has
to start. Yep.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
The rest is yet to unfold, of course, but Tuesday
was a win for a lot of people. The methane
target seven common sense move of the week crippling the
economy while others do little of anything, make literally no sense.
Migration to worry of the week the fact it's ongoing,
the fact that they're still leaving while those arriving drop
off is a long term recipe for disaster. Gail Piata
(06:20):
eight My hero of the week. Standing on principle and
speaking out is increasingly rare these days, So good on her.
HOSPO seven never made as much money as they have
this past year. Surely we can celebrate that. Are the
reserve banks LBR move this week six are the right
thing to do. But ask yourself what's changed apart for
one bloke leading the building? Hey Education seven. Surely apart
(06:41):
from Matt Paine, the week's big winner material gains and
maths and English and phonics hashtag on the right track.
Fungar ray heads seven biggest turnout for the local bodies
at fifty eight point nine percent almost like you, kind
of like democracy are the biggest. A two interventionist sticky
beak trying it on full of their own self importance.
(07:02):
Picker term the cold heart truth is very few and broadcasting.
I can tell you give a monkey's given their irrelevancy.
Brian Tommicky eight good got turned down on closing the
Auckland Harbor Bridge. Are the bridges for transport, not politics?
Are the well? The All Blacks naming seven first stop Chicago.
Now the Mike Hosking book is open. It's got all
four wins to the All Blacks with the proviso if
(07:26):
we lose one, it'll be the first one to Ireland.
And that's the weak copies on the website now as yesterday,
by the way, marking the Week is still covering the Pentagon.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oh, I didn't have as many sounded bits as usual.
When I had the same number that a lot of
them were just dens and buzzes, and I like to
keep the things and buzzies to a minimum if I can.
It was it was just as I was about to
play the denver Gaal Barada that I realized I could
have just got and got some gay parada from when
we interviewed it during the weekuear Are you guys interested
(07:56):
by these behind the scenes reviews of how I didn't
mark the week every Friday?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I don't care. It's my podcast. Tough Nouggies the rewrap right.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We had the England coach slash manager the cricket team
I'm talking about Brendan McCullum. You might remember him from
bashing the ball around the oval playing for New.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Zealand in the past. Anyway, some people were under the
impression he would never be on our show.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Here was the story. One of the great sadnesses of
my life was the fact that Brendan McCullum allegedly wouldn't
talk to me. And so this was especially back in
the days when he got the job, because everyone wanted
to talk to Brenda McCullum when he got the job,
and the reason he wouldn't talk to me allegedly. And
I got this through a guy called Garth Galloway, and
I'm sure he won't mind me using his name, but
Garth's a good guy. And Garth and I go back
(08:46):
away because Garth's dad, Ian Galloway, is a legend of
New Zealand cricket and Ian and I would sit in
a caravan too long a story to tell while he
did the commentary central Otago eating cherries, and I mean
just the Galloway family, the nice people of the world. Anyway,
Garth was I think I'm writing saying Brendan McCullum's manager
for a while Garth's a lawyer well known he was
(09:09):
his manager. Anyway, it all got complicated because they perceived
me to take the side of Chris Ken's. So if
you don't know the story, I won't bore you with
the detail. But Ken's got himself in tremendous trouble legally speaking.
A number of years ago. I observed that when Ken's
went to court, and I happened to be in England
at the time and it went along to the South
(09:30):
at court and I watched the trial. It was the
most fascinating thing in the world. Anyway, I observed that
judicially speaking, I didn't think that Chris Ken's would be
found guilty for what he was charged with. Now, McCullum
allegedly took that as a slight against him, because it
was Ken's v. McCullum, if you remember it, and McCullum
took that as a slight against him, and it was
never a slight against him. But because I don't know,
(09:50):
Brendan never talked to Brandan about it, but he just
sort of didn't like me because of that, And so
I wasn't siding with taking sides. I was just making
a judicial observation. As it turns out judicially, if you
followed the story, it turns out I was right because
Ken's did get found not guilty. So I wasn't casting
dispersions on any individual concerned. But as a result of that,
Galloway once time he said, Brendan's never talking to you again,
(10:13):
and so the iron I thought, well, that's life. But
that's a shame because Brendan's a hell of a nice
guy and I wouldn't mind talking to him. So anyway,
I turned up three o'clock this morning and Brendan mccullums
on the program, and I think, what the hell's happened?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Is something we has gone wrong here? Does he know
who he is talking to? Did they say when you're
coming on ZIB this morning, it's guy Hosking's going to
be on the other end of the line. Was it
a surprise when I say morning Brendan and you go,
it's this Hosking? What happened there? But he you know,
maybe maybe the waters of life and time have passed
enough for him to come on the show. My next
(10:43):
dilemma was should I raise it with him on air?
And I thought no, better or not? Because things went well.
I thought things went extremely well, and I thoroughly enjoyed
talking to him, and I thank him very much for it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
If you be amazed, how often actually that people think that
people don't like Mike. A certain person doesn't like Mike,
and then you ask that person directly, And I've never
even thought about it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's too short. Do what you do the rewrap, except
don't buy a Jeep.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Apparently, I told you Stalentis yesterday, massive injection into production
in America, thirteen fourteen billion dollars worth. No one could
work out and we still hadn't been able to whether
or not that was pre announceder whether or not they're
trying to suck up to Trump and say, hey, look
at us, we're putting those money back into a mamma. Anyway,
the Canadians are ropable because part of that announcement involved
them moving the compass the model comes, you know, the
(11:35):
Jeep compass. That's a rubbish car. I bought one of those.
That was a mistake. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Anyway.
No disrespect to Stalentis or Jeep or anyone listening this morning, But.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I disrespectful, to be honest, well, no, I bought it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I paid with my own money. Katie and I were
out walking hand in hand and we decided we needed
a car, and we were walking literally past the shop
and we said, why don't we buy one of those,
and we literally walked in and we bought.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This reminds me of the time that Sir Paul Holmes
drove past the miniature horses and decided he wanted a
bunch of those.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I'd rather have a miniature horse than jeep compass. Because
we bought in. There was all these cheap compasses there,
and I said, which way, I said, this one looks nice,
I said, and he goes, oh, you're Lucky Day. And
I thought, oh, you sucked him, good, Michael, Yeah, lucky Day.
They're on sale, so I bid them down. But anyway,
no disrespect.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What was wrong with it specifically.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
It's just when you got in it, you felt, I mean,
they're a bit cheap, to be honest. And I got
in it and I thought, this feels like it's a
bit cheap. And we drive it up and down to
the country for a while and we thought, well is
this us and she said no, So we got rid
of it. Didn't not good resol value, though not bad
(12:47):
resol value. I'll give you that. So for all the
Jeep people listening, and I mean it didn't Tarris and.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Ford was probably queuing up for one. It wasn't the
electric one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I take it certainly wasn't the electric one. Got to
use the electric one because the engine and it barely worked.
You put the foot down. There's a brand new car.
The Jeep people thoroughly pissed off with me. Now, So
it's just I can say that because I paid my
good money and I bought the thing. So I'm entitled.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Some people, you know, they listen to you talk about
these things and they go there, guy's got no taste.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I'm going to go out and buy one of those.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Sales will go through the roof of Hosking hates. It's
got to be good. That'll be what that's about.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, I feel like the Jeep, the ones that look
like actual Jeeps.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Aren't bad.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But they've got ones that they sort of tried to
make look like cars.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I've never understood why you get a Jeep that's
a car.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
When there are people who you know, make cars, that's
what they do. You know, Jeep's one thing. A car
is a different thing. Why do you want a Jeep car.
I've never I've never quite understood that. I'm obviously not
the tang at market.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Love you, Jeep.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I am a keen hat Jeep lover. That was the
rewrap and we'll be back with more car stories.

never a slight against him. But because I don't know,
(09:50):
Brendan never talked to Brandan about it, but he just
sort of didn't like me because of that, And so
I wasn't siding with taking sides. I was just making
a judicial observation. As it turns out judicially, if you
followed the story, it turns out I was right because
Ken's did get found not guilty. So I wasn't casting
dispersions on any individual concerned. But as a result of that,
Galloway once time he said, Brendan's never talking to you again,
(10:13):
and so the iron I thought, well, that's life. But
that's a shame because Brendan's a hell of a nice
guy and I wouldn't mind talking to him. So anyway,
I turned up three o'clock this morning and Brendan mccullums
on the program, and I think, what the hell's happened?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Here?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Is something we has gone wrong here? Does he know
who he is talking to? Did they say when you're
coming on ZIB this morning, it's guy Hosking's going to
be on the other end of the line. Was it
a surprise when I say morning Brendan and you go,
it's this Hosking? What happened there? But he you know,
maybe maybe the waters of life and time have passed
enough for him to come on the show. My next
(10:43):
dilemma was should I raise it with him on air?
And I thought no, better or not? Because things went well.
I thought things went extremely well, and I thoroughly enjoyed
talking to him, and I thank him very much for it.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
If you be amazed, how often actually that people think that
people don't like Mike. A certain person doesn't like Mike,
and then you ask that person directly, And I've never
even thought about it.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's too short. Do what you do the rewrap, except
don't buy a Jeep.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Apparently, I told you Stalentis yesterday, massive injection into production
in America, thirteen fourteen billion dollars worth. No one could
work out and we still hadn't been able to whether
or not that was pre announceder whether or not they're
trying to suck up to Trump and say, hey, look
at us, we're putting those money back into a mamma. Anyway,
the Canadians are ropable because part of that announcement involved
them moving the compass the model comes, you know, the
(11:35):
Jeep compass. That's a rubbish car. I bought one of those.
That was a mistake. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Anyway.
No disrespect to Stalentis or Jeep or anyone listening this morning, But.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I disrespectful, to be honest, well, no, I bought it.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I paid with my own money. Katie and I were
out walking hand in hand and we decided we needed
a car, and we were walking literally past the shop
and we said, why don't we buy one of those,
and we literally walked in and we bought.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
This reminds me of the time that Sir Paul Holmes
drove past the miniature horses and decided he wanted a
bunch of those.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
I'd rather have a miniature horse than jeep compass. Because
we bought in. There was all these cheap compasses there,
and I said, which way, I said, this one looks nice,
I said, and he goes, oh, you're Lucky Day. And
I thought, oh, you sucked him, good, Michael, Yeah, lucky Day.
They're on sale, so I bid them down. But anyway,
no disrespect.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
What was wrong with it specifically.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
It's just when you got in it, you felt, I mean,
they're a bit cheap, to be honest. And I got
in it and I thought, this feels like it's a
bit cheap. And we drive it up and down to
the country for a while and we thought, well is
this us and she said no, So we got rid
of it. Didn't not good resol value, though not bad
(12:47):
resol value. I'll give you that. So for all the
Jeep people listening, and I mean it didn't Tarris and.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Ford was probably queuing up for one. It wasn't the
electric one.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I take it certainly wasn't the electric one. Got to
use the electric one because the engine and it barely worked.
You put the foot down. There's a brand new car.
The Jeep people thoroughly pissed off with me. Now, So
it's just I can say that because I paid my
good money and I bought the thing. So I'm entitled.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Some people, you know, they listen to you talk about
these things and they go there, guy's got no taste.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I'm going to go out and buy one of those.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Sales will go through the roof of Hosking hates. It's
got to be good. That'll be what that's about.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, I feel like the Jeep, the ones that look
like actual Jeeps.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Aren't bad.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But they've got ones that they sort of tried to
make look like cars.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And I've never understood why you get a Jeep that's
a car.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
When there are people who you know, make cars, that's
what they do. You know, Jeep's one thing. A car
is a different thing. Why do you want a Jeep car.
I've never I've never quite understood that. I'm obviously not
the tang at market.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Love you, Jeep.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I am a keen hat Jeep lover. That was the
rewrap and we'll be back with more car stories.
