Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ryan.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
To repair a fifteen dollar kettle from Kmart would cost
way more than the purchase price. This is Green Party stupidity,
says Steve. I think that this is the bill that
they're currently debating, and they're going to debate today in
Parliament to force manufacturers to repair stuff that breaks. I
could like.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Getting that through Apple.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, yeah, there's two different Well, there's two different kettles
of fish here. One is the expensive products that you
actually want to be replaced or repaired, I should say,
and then there's the cheaper products. It's probably just cheaper
to go and buy a new one sixteen after four.
Darcy's here, Hey, Darcy, Oh.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
It's the landfill man.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, I do throw a lot and I must admit
I do throw a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Out of buy stuff. Just go to tig actions for
deceased states because all the stuff those older people have
got last for generations. It's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, that's true. Although there's those people that go around
now and raid all of the op shops and all
of those estate sales for their very expensive boutique second
hand stores.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You need to go to the middle of the country
and they don't have that rubbish.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Scale right, black Caps are playing Pakistan. It's at ten
o'clock to night.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, ten o'clock tonight, so a little wand to three
to five, six in the morning. Good luck with that one.
But it's the start of the champions Trophy is very
short sharp a tournament that New Zealand one back in
two thousand and up until the World Test Championship is
the only thing that he's little won on that global stage.
And Chris Ken's going to join us on the show
to night up after seven o'clock to talk about that

(01:27):
and the chances of course of a New Zealand and
where it actually sits in the wider scale of thing.
It's such a congested city scape when you look at
all the peaks and troughs of all the major events.
What is actually important in cricket? Now? Where does it sit?
How do people carry these events? Is it ipl is
at the Test Championship? Is it the T twenty matches?
Is it the Champions Trophy, the the World Cup? Just

(01:50):
is they're everywhere, They're everywhere. You stand in the wrong
spot and you'll get a champions Trophy in your foot.
So we'll talk to him about that up after seven the.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
All Blacks are going to play Ireland. This is in
Chicago in the States, which there's a lot of Irish
Americans there. I wonder why if that's why they've gone
that side of the.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Well Soldier Field is where the unbelievable actually happened and
the All Blacks got rolled by Ireland back in the day.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
When was that twenty seventeen, twenty.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Six is a while ago, now, that's how long. So
in New Zealand rugby plainly they want to get a footprint,
they want tracks in the United States of America. World
Cups coming up there in a handful of years, so
they need makes sense to go to their paymasters and
say we'd like to put on the game here. And
the rivalry now between Ireland and New Zealand is and

(02:41):
chance as it gets. So it's a real shame we
don't get to have it on our own shores. But
increasing of the All Blacks is and ours. It's an
international property that the Union are going to sell off
to everybody else.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And they need to do what Daytona did and get
Donald Trump to the game. And then you get eyeballs
and then.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well that's what velandis is trying to do relady betting
right now. Please please come on darken our door with
your shadow. We want the bunters.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
