Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rerapkoy there and welcome to the Rerap for Friday, all
the best bits from the Mike hosting breakfast on News
Talk SIDB and a Sillier package. I am Glen Hart
and today we have got a little bit of a
Radio Awards review for you because they hit them last
night and it was our turn to do well this year.
(00:45):
Who knows who will in next year. It's always a
bit of a luck of the draw as far as
I'm consumed. We'll mark the week because that is what
we do on Fridays, and then we need to get
to the bottom of this underage you know, buying of
vapes or indeed underage buying a booze situation. And and
we'll finish up with a with a coffee Kiosk update
(01:07):
and it might not be the update you're wanting to
hear before any of that. Complaints please about One News Unfortunately,
just because they don't do the news the way you
want it to, it might not actually be a complaint
that will be upheld.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Mike was the Maori Party dodgy stuff mentioned on One News.
A lot of you have texted me that this morning.
Can I just I'm not in charge of One News.
I don't know what One News do. I was once
employed by one News, but no more. And no it
probably wasn't on One News. And what you're trying to
infer is that this is a stitch up, that the
government are involved, that there's a payoff in the offering here,
(01:44):
that someone's been bought, that everyone's it's a scandal, and
because they don't cover something, you know, all of a sudden,
somebody's you know, and so it goes. I'm just to
be clear.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
TV and Z is not in this building. We're not
in that building.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
People seem to get very confused about them.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
With each other. No, by the way of interest, I
note this morning reportage in the media the BSA complaints.
Well it's after the BSA the number of complaints on
Mikey Sherman's famous or now infamous poll bam buckle up report.
They got hundreds of these complaints TV and SET. Each
and every one of them was rejected, probably not surprisingly,
(02:23):
they will now go to the BSA. And you know,
my love for the BSA. So this will be a
real test for them because my guess is what they
should do and what they will do with two different things.
My guess is that they'll let it ride. And my
guess at that point is everyone will go what that
and once again we'll have a conversation about what a
(02:44):
waste of time the BSA is. But let's see how
that goes. But there were three hundred and something reports
about her for coverage on that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be a sorry day
when you can actually, you know, have a complaint out
how just because you don't like the way somebody does
their job. I mean, I'd get nothing back complaints that
the case wrap. So, as I mentioned, it was the
Radio Awards last night, and we won't heaps of them.
(03:13):
I find them a bit meaningless. And you know, I
say that regardless of whether when we win or lose.
I definitely say that when I'm having to mix the entries,
that's a terrible job.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's important, I think, to start the day with some
good news, the good news from an industry you might
have read that has been creating a little bit of
bad news, like the media has troubles newsrooms are being closed,
Programs are being canceled, people are being laid off, Losses
are mounting hands around for help. Please are being made
for you to see what some do on the local
landscapers being important. Yes, it's been a bad year, but
(03:45):
against that backdrop, the radio industry got together last night
to hand out a few gongs and remind us all
that there are no shortage indeed of success stories. This
is the best station in the country. Not just that,
but awarded the title last night for the fourth year
in a row. This show has the best producers in
the game. The show has the best newsreader. This station
(04:10):
has the best sports bloke on the weekends, the eclectic
guy at night from Bluff One for about the eighth
year in a row, and the news team were recognized
for their Gabriel coverage as well. More broadly, this company
picked up an outsized number of awards given the competition,
and that is the bit that's not to be forgotten.
Radio in this country is still, as far as I know,
the most competitive market per head of population in the world.
(04:34):
We have a pile of radio stations, all chasing the audience,
all chasing the dollar. What radio is is an example
of how a market evolves. As the Prime Minister would say,
while some of the media grapple with change, radio did
a lot of its changing a couple of decades back,
with deregulation and the arrival of FM. We worked out
what the audience has wanted and gave it to them.
It's ever evolving, of course, but in a media landscape
(04:55):
of so much upheaval, there are plenty still doing fine,
thank you, and that needs to be better told. Part
of the problem with the media irony of ironies is
their predilection for the negative. There are more media stories
of success than there are of woe. But you don't
hear the show on this station in this company is
killing it. Now, that's not skiting, it's maybe just balancing
(05:16):
the ledger a little bit. So you are listening to
the best in the business. But you knew that, didn't
you see? Just a couple of judges backed it up
with a bit of silverware last night.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You see. My issue is I would like the Radio
Awards to work like any other industries awards, where it's
basically based on how much money you make, how successful
you are. I mean, we've got the metrics there, we
know how many people listen. We know how much money
we make. We have more people listening and make more
money than anybody else. We should always win every time,
but we don't necessarily, and if we did base it
(05:48):
on their national radio, would never win anything. All right,
So what should we do on this part of the week.
It's Friday, and that is what we do.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Time now to make the week little peopce of news
and current events. That's well, basically tipped it over the
line for news talks. It'd be at the radio awards
last night. Elections eight. Democracy and action is always good,
especially in a world where to mock he doesn't reach
all corners and not everyone gets the same. Elections eight
Mexico the first woman this week, India's own same bloke,
but not the way it was in South Africa. The
perils of being crooked came home to roost there, I think,
(06:19):
didn't They are the crusaders three a year to forget
and a dynasty undone. Plenty of work ons, as they say,
But that old hackneyed sack the coach thing reminds us
how trigger happy and superficial we can be at times,
don't you reckon? Are the fee at five? Hundred and seven,
having turned it into an ev Guess what they announced
they're doing this week. They're sticking an engine back in it.
(06:40):
The lesson by the reality, don't overreact to the theory
p and o.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Four.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
They've blamed the size of the market. I wonder about
it being a bit low rent to be frank in
reputation actually being the real issue? Are the Trump fundraising record?
Six is in good shape? He's in good shack? Does
that mean crime, pace labour asking for your tax cut too?
Surely in opposition when you're not actually doing anything, you
can keep the stupidity down to a minimum.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Eight.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
What made this difference was the twenty year deal. Twenty
year solves a big problem over a long period of time.
The mari Ward submissions this week three yet more angsting
around race. We already have the best system, right, It's
called democracy, and anyone can run and everyone gets a
free and fear go try it. It works. The hunger
Striker zero three demands three demands not one met, nor
(07:34):
were they ever going to be, obviously, which simply reminds
us that the self absorbed no bounds. Rupert Murdoch seven.
I reckon if you get to your nineties, do whatever
you like, and who cares what the world thinks? Shakespeare six.
I personally found it dullais, but I was a fifth
former into sport. But a lot of others reckon you
might have had an influence. Are the radio awards eight
(07:55):
ZB Station of the Year, NEVA Newsreader of the Year.
Are the people who produce this Producers of the year,
and so it went. Turns out, in a media landscape
listed recently with casualties, there are still quite a few
who have it together, delivered the goods, make the it's
and rebel in the future. That's well pretty bright. That's
the week copies on the website. And if you fold
six of these together and make one end a pointy end,
(08:17):
you can pop the lock on an act work really easy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I quite like those aquas, not enough to steal one,
but even the old ones. I mean some of them
are like twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen and either not a
bad looking car. I didn't realize that it's actually also
known as the Prius c It's actually a Prius It's
sort of the third version, and they decided to call
it an aqua instead. Sometimes it's been all the time.
(08:41):
Sometimes you see one that's called PRESC. Did you need
to know any of that? No, probably not, rewrap. We're
going to finish up here discussing stings to see if
vape and booze sellers are selling underage and then it'll
it'll morph into a little update on our on our
(09:01):
coffee kiosk sad days.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Really, I just wonder how many more reports we need
to write. I don't think anything's going to happen. I
think you've got to get to a point of some
sort of level of self responsibility. I mean, you can
have rules. Are you remotely surprised that if you send
somebody out the same will be with booze? If you
send somebody out to do something like buy a vape
or buy a bottle of booze? Do you think anybody
behind that count is checking or gives the monkeys about them?
(09:25):
Of course they're not so telling us in a report
that things aren't working. It's the classic.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Can we get the lady from the supermarket who seems
to have to come over to confirm that I am
in fact?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, supermarkets are a bit different, aren't they, I suppose?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
But I'm standing there with the bottle of chareers and
she looks me up and down.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Oh yeah, it's it's at six fifteen in the morning,
and that's embarrassing. You got to stop that. We got
booze delivered to the house. Funny just we got boost
delivered to the house for the first time I think ever,
and it's the it's that lolly water that the youngest drinks,
and that got clicked online and delivered to the house.
And we may be eighteen, we may not be.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
You've never had a fine wine delivery before.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Well, yeah, but that's different, Declen. It will be RTD business,
the RTD business. But there was no check at all
that we were eighteen and that's at the door this
morning waiting to be.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, somebody would have had to tick a box on
the well.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Of course online anyone can take a box. But that's
why you're anyone. Well, the twelve year old can do that,
can't they. Regarding specialist appointments, Mike, it would be interesting
to know which are the specialties that are waiting the
longest or being denied. And then secondly it'd be good
if there was a study done on the number of
DNA for specialist appointments where This then pushes the list
(10:41):
even further back. Regionality will be your other assure. Didn't
have time to ask that, but that's the standard question
you ask in regionality. The bigger the center, generally speaking,
the more specialists available, the more machineries available to you,
et cetera. Slightly emotional, as I said here speaking to
you right now, I've just looked out my window to
my left, and there's the little coffee kiosk, little coffee
(11:03):
kiosk that I've told you about over the last couple
of months. It was called birds. Was it called birds?
You notice I used the word was Anyway, birds opened
earlier on this year, so that on outside our buildings,
a what do you call it a deck? Whatever? You
call it a promenade. Let's call it a promenade. It's
a promenad.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I don't think we could really call it.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Let's call it for our radio purposes. Painting the picture, Glenn,
it's beautiful promenade. Anyway. In the middle of the promenade
is this kiosk that was built. And there was a
coffee shop there and there is no longer a coffee
shop there, And then a new one started called Berts,
and I was right into it, and we went and
bought three coffees. Didn't we We went three coffees, went
brought them. I thought, this will.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Help you really push the boat out.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And then all of a sudden last week they didn't
turn up, and I thought, here we go. Watch could
be sick, something might have happened, could be a COVID outbreak.
Day two, day, three day for no lights And I thought, right,
we're done for anyway. I've just seen them now. The
lights were on, and I thought fantastic.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yes, because I'm still waiting for my Kiosk updates thing
to come back from production.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Well, I'd tell them to put that on whole Glenn
because the lights were on, and I thought, here we go.
Maybe they've just been sick all away or whatever. Lights
were on, and I looked down and there were two
people there. One was taking out the stools, not to
put on the ground, but to put them into a
back of a van, and the other one was taking
out the rubbish bag. And then they turned the lights
(12:23):
out and they closed the door and the van has gone.
And that is the end of another business in New Zealand.
And I literally just watched that unfold in front of
my eyes. And that's sad because we need good coffee.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Luckily, there are two other cafes on the other side
of the building, and various coffee machines inside the building,
and a ten of instant coffee at the kitchenette outside
the studio. I think we'll be all right. I'm Glen hah.
As you can tell, I'm perhaps a little bit too
caffeated this morning. I will see you back here again
(12:57):
with more coffee news on Monday.
