Speaker 1 (00:00):
News talk Z be with Hosking in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I couldn't have made those calls, she sobbed from the
passenger seat of the Ardy convertible. I was having my
head or was I on the flotation? Take it? If
you cannot get through to us, then a fact number
will do. If you have access to one three seven
seven two one three two. What do you think I
should happen to Lorry Mains?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Well, Laury, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
The work is very demanding and tiring, so you know
that no one can do that, don't you Colling?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, but it's it's not real though. And I always
try and order something where they cook something at the table.
And I ordered a caesar salad and they make it
at your table and it's brilliant. But I seem to
be spending my entire life turning up late places. But
this is all right because this means that the ladies,
by the time I get there, are on edge.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh my goodness, Wow, it didn't even sound like you.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No, it sounds like one point five speed And people
say I speak fast? Now?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Was it sped up?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Had you inhaled helium from a balloon?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
But it sounds like it just sounds like it, doesn't it.
I think I think it's I think what happens is
when you get material from the archives, we're stowing in
a cupboard that's lacking oxygen, and the tape shrink and
before I speed up, I'm actually moderately entertaining. I used
to be anyway. I decided on that. Okay, I'm still
(01:22):
what him. Okay, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I think you're still more than entertaining.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh you're very nice to say.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, I love that. Love that Joseph Joseph Parker interview.
Wasn't that good?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
That was?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Now?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It was it?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
That was epic?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I agree, I was. I found it quite an emotional experience,
to be honest.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But I could hear it. I could hear the emotion
in your voice.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Because here's the thing. Either he's a drug taking liar
and I've been sucked in badly, or here's who I
think he is and he was hard done by by
a bloke he hired who let him down. And so
the interesting thing from the feedback is you've got those
two camps and never the Twains a meet. I was
talking the semi off air about it. There's a thing
in this country. It's probably applicable in all countries. People
(02:05):
take sides on things and people. So m m P
FPP all black coaches who shouldn't shouldn't be coaching teams
that will win or lose flu ride tin hats, you know,
and in this case, you know, it's just it's a
weird thing. And no matter what you do. So I
side with Parker. I love Joseph. He's a cool guy.
(02:25):
People no matter what we do, will go He's a loser,
he's a deckhead, Mike, and so it goes it's the
weirdest thing.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, you know what, it's that kind of and I
think that, you know, with the whole Chryslux MMP thing,
it plays that whole thing plays into that polarizing narrative.
So if and that produces claques, right, So then the
media goes on the victim hunt. Oh it's small business
one at the beginning of the week. It's m MP
at the end of the week, or what does what
(02:54):
do you think about.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What he said? It's it's sort of it's playground.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Here is a bit Katie the Parker. Do you hear
the park.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I will just say and I'm with you. You know,
I like to believe Joseph Parker because he's a nice guy.
But I will point out the last man standing claiming
Lance Armstrong never does and this.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Is just oh my god, what you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And you even when he came out of himself, even
when he came out himself and confessed, you were like, nah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That no, no, no, I didn't say any of those things.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
What with our heroes, we struggle to You know, if
you look up to somebody, you really struggle to see.
And if people don't look up to them or have
any respect to them, it's probably easy for them to
just castigate them.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right. Well, for the record, what I said about Joseph,
what I said about Lance Armstrong was he is innocent
until proven guilty, and until he's proven guilty, he is innocent.
And people then when he came out and said he
was guilty, and when he came out guilty, guilt, he's guilty.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I mean, I was devastated, obviously, because I want to
I want to think the best of everybody. I'm just
I'm just one of those little little kids who never
grew up and who thinks that Santa Claus is cool
and everyone's a nice adult and stuff like that. That's
all wheels down to.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
This is what this is. This is what we do
on wrap the week.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We let the nation know what you schmucks will be
arguing about on Saturday morning.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But you exercised about Luxon and the I cannot, for
the life.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Of me, not remotely. I think we're so bereft of One,
we're bereft of news because we just spent all week
going how cold it is. And two we're very myopic
in this country and the media just anything he says,
they love to jump on and make a huge deal
out of. So it's also it's election yere.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I guess it's also to come Are you exercised him
by the by his comment in and of itself? Did
that Did you go, oh my.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
God, No, because he's a friend of mine, But I,
you know what it's so, it's so it's like he's
talking like a prime minister. He's thinking out loud in public.
I guess what I was reflecting that this sort of
mode is quite different for Luxon. He said sometimes in
(05:08):
the past he seemed to be a bit sort of
sounding a bit uncertain. He seems to be a bit
more confident in some ways the.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Exactly how I read it.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think so too. I think in his last couple
of views with you on a Monday, he's coming across
a little bit more comfortable with himself and it is
and a bit more direct, and I think it's good.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I couldn't agree more. But if sitting there with Kerrie
and he goes, well, of course, yeh, why wouldn't we
do that? And I'm thinking, good on your mate, And
then the next thing, you know, apparently where we've got
some sort of nuclear meld. Have you got more highlights
on me? After the break, Glynn?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That was it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I was kind of hoping that you might do something
actually good, But I guess I can go and find
something else if you're not going to do that. I
don't think we appreciated Mike. The evolution of Mike Hosking
from a British Mary Poppins's characters to where he is today.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That is so true, is excellent.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I should say, By the way, I've been very busy
of late putting together the ZB one hundred podcast and
so that releases. By the way, I should tell everybody
on Sunday on iHeart and so having done it and
you know how hard I've worked on this, kdie and
I do nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):

Please tell me there's not more of that on it?
Is there? It's not just clips of you talking.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
To Is it one and a half speed hosking? Because
that would be great?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's episode three, the six it's a six episode epic.
And I insisted upon signing the contract to do the
podcast that at least one and a half episodes was
dedicated to my time here on ZB and so they acquiesced.
They acquiesced that. So anyway, the podcast drops on some.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Honestly, what is on that podcast? Don't put people off
what is on it? No, I am worried about it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):

rough terms, yes.

say whatever you want about being called trendy in tech.
There is something still powerful about holding something in your hands.
Why books have survived obviously something hold holding something powerful
in your hand and flicking through it. The art of
flicking through something is not to be underestimated, am I correct? Remark?
