The Rerap.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Ok there and welcome to the Rerap for Friday, all
the best bits from the mic Husking breakfast on Newstalks
ZEDB in a sillier package Iron Glen Heart. Today we
will mark the week because that is what we do
on Fridays. The All Blacks, they just never run through
our calls. Have you voted and toting yet? Because time
(00:46):
is running out and we discussed the one of the
most disgusting visionables there are. But before any of that,
the presidential campaign. Have you seen the latest Have you
watched the latest episode of the presidential campaign yet?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The writers have lost the plot. I reckon.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
This has been the week the world changed, like it
or not. America affects us all, and the President affects America.
The Republican Party has nominated Donald Trump as the man
in this afternoon, our time. He will accept if you
want to zoom back out just a little bit for
a moment. The party has run these days by Lara,
his daughter in law. Make America Great Again has been
officially adopted this week by the party as its slogan,
(01:27):
and all the people within the party we swore he
was troubled and mad and crazy and problematic lined up
this week to praise him. It is now the Donald
Trump Party, and say whatever you want about him in
as politics, what he has managed to do is little
short of miraculous. He is a force of nature, and
after Saturday he will most likely when the election and
create more history. God has played a role this week,
(01:49):
and whether you believe or not, something extraordinary has happened.
Not only did he survive a shooting, the courts have
turned as well. Florad is off until after the election.
George is delayed until after the election. The Supreme Court
kind of agrees with him on immunity, even New York,
and the sentencing, which really has nothing to do with
his presidential life, is delayed. You can't run this stuff. Then,
(02:10):
in a turn of events, you also coun't write. And
in a week where the conspiracy theorists went literally more
mental than they already are, Biden says he might step
aside of a medical issue prevented him from running, and
then promptly goes and gets COVID, which you guessed it
will lead to him having complications, which will lead to speculation,
which will lead to him pulling out. And and surely
it's at this point Michelle Obama joins it and saves
(02:33):
the day. Oh and the kid who shot Trump. He
had no profile, he's got no background, He's a plant.
He was paid. As I say, you can't write this stuff.
And yet at least some of it's real, and some
of it will drive the world who knows where over
the next handful of years. Oh and jd vance to
cap it off. Is a poor kid who wrote a book,
got it made into a movie, went into business, joined
(02:54):
the Marines, became a vice president. He lived the American dream.
Can you make a movie about the movie? It's a
mix between Shakespeare and mystery and high farce, a complex
drama and a circus act. It's so good you can't
take your eyes off it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes, I think they've gone too far and the plots
just got too hard to follow. There's too many weird
hearings and subplots. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think
we're going to watch the rece so we wrap. But
I never missed an extorm and installment in Mark the
Week Because if I did, there wouldn't be any noises.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Turned out to mark the weak little piece of news
and current eventsts as exciting as vote and Barrett and
twenty minute bursts. The shooting seven because it's changed the race,
possibly changed the world, put a spotlight on America and
focused in on all that is wrong and right about
the place. Trump nine. In many ways it changes your attitude,
your viewpoint, or life, and I think, honestly, I think
(03:47):
you appreciate Guard even more subare to shooting may or
may not have involved God and got another court case
delayed while getting his party's nomination. So pretty good week then, jdvarnsay.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I'd love to just talk with people and answer some
questions and take some photos.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Got a job with a bloke he hated, and book
sales rocketed. Not a bad week either, Jack Black two,
Big Google, Go fle Goo Google. Not directly his fault,
but a very tangible and public example of why the
whole hate debate has gone way too far. Act seven.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
One of the worst things that could happen to me
is I could actually become the government.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
For two good ideas this week. One their desire to
change workplace laws so that that nonsense in the courts
over ruber drivers never sees the light of day again,
and their desire to get counsels out of climate change hah,
climate change six The government's new agenda published this week,
relying more on science and less on bashing farmers about
the head more common sense. The commerce commissioned sex looks
like they are flat out supermarket mergers, airport charges, telco rulings, busy,
(04:43):
busy pussy arbitrators. Seven. Say whatever you want about the
police pay decision, but it's a hell of a lot
better than a year's worth of back and forth going nowhere,
isn't it? A three eighties airbus this week hinted they
might start rebuilding them again quite possibly. Then the best
thing that came out of COVID. If you've never been
(05:03):
on an A three eighty, you haven't flun Joe Biden three.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
A minor horis where are you mad?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
This time last week held the press conference to reassure everybody,
except ended up doing exactly the opposite, then went and
got COVID. While there's party panics and passes open letters
about the place. Are the King and Queen?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Four?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Not coming? Boom our motor races eight oh Lilliam Lawson
and the RB twenty testing this week. Scott mclochlan winning
an Envy first time on an oval, Mitch Evans, Nick
Cassidy looking to win the Formula Lead title this weekend.
That's a lot of talent in a big world from
a small country, don't you reckon? And that's the week
copies on the website. And if you take sixteen of
these eight for each hand, cut them into ribbons, you
(05:43):
can use them to do star jumps and memory of
Richard Simmons.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
A lot of people died this week, I mean gogies.
A lot of people die every week. Richards sevens five Newhart,
Norm Hewitt and you and all the other people as well.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
A rewrap.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
There was another one that I know that I should
be remembering that, And you're all shouting at at me,
So let's quickly move on to the next segment.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Business of the all So snap Dragon Stadium thirty five
thousand people. Is it sold out?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I was told it was sold out? But that was
Elliott Was it Elliot Smith who told me that couple
of weeks ago. Elliott Smith told me that Dunedin wasn't
to sell out when it was so Elliott's building up
a reputation for does he know what to sell out?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Me?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I don't know who knows what a sellout is. Anyway,
I'm looking at a map of Snapdragon. There are seats galore.
I would guess, at a rough estimate at about fifteen
percent of the seats are still available. So your question,
Texter is a very good one. Why are you charging
three hundred or at least one hundred and fifty dollars
for something that doesn't sell? That seems pointless, which brings
me back to my comment in the last hour about
(06:47):
the All Blacks, just in case you didn't know what
I was talking about. The All Blacks, and this is
universally accepted by all in sports journalism, not that I'm
in sports journalism, but I like to stand on the
sidelines and look in and smell that sweat because they're
such cool guys. Anyway, everyone regards the All Blacks machine
as the most difficult to deal with in all of sport.
They are a in the ass, and there's no reason
(07:10):
for to be if you contrast them with motor racers
who get up at all hours of the morning to
come on this program. The All Blacks will not We
text them on a Monday say hey, can we have
an All Black for Friday, and they don't reply. And
then they come back midweek and go, oh it's too
late now, I go too way for what texting on Monday?
And then you don't get an All Black because they've
got a game on Saturday, so you can't come on Friday.
(07:31):
They've got a game on Saturday. Meantime, I got my
bloke there at one thirty in Vietnam. No worries at all,
So what's going on here? For goodness sake? And that's
the All Blacks for you. And it's always been that way.
They've never changed. They think they're so important that they
can't possibly talk to the media unless it suits them.
It's the weirdest business. So my great hope for the
weekend as they wake up and change their mind and
(07:52):
hopefully they might sell out.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Came to me Senandohity Jenanderity Brenda from Beverly Hills nine
oh two one oh and just went the week went
downhill from there. Really, Yeah, hey, all Blacks, answer our calls.
Pig up the phone. It's only a couple of minutes.
Mike's the master of the two minute in you. He
won't keep you and you can get back to eating
your wheat bergs.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It'll rewrap now.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
So we've got this mayoral election and tarooh, but you
can't complain if you don't vote, and it looks like
nobody has so there'll be no complaints.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So that's good Taweronger, Come on, people criticize me. I
talked to Anne Tolly, whose commissioner in Twero, and we
seem to both agree that democracy doesn't work and the
appointment of commissioners is quite a good idea because you
get a small handful of experts to get on with it.
And that's what they've largely done in Tawerong and people go,
no democracy rules, mate, that's what we want. And so,
(08:45):
as I said to you this morning, for your big
election this weekend, for a mere first chance at democracy
in years, because you're so dysfunctional up to that point,
they had to put commissioners in. So far twenty five
point nine percent of you have turned out, So you
don't I.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Still have the time left.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
They haven't you And well, yeah, you got to a
midday tomorrow. But I don't think there's going to be
a last minute rush, is my point. I doubt you're
going to crack thirty percent. Two thirds of you you
don't give a monkey, so that's fine. That's you're allowed
not to give a monkey's that's the beauty of democracy.
So don't come back at me when I say let's
get rid of democracy. Let's just appoint some experts and
tell me democracy works, because it doesn't. And twenty five
(09:19):
point nine percent proves it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And I think democracy does work, or it would work
if they applied it correctly. So if you only get
twenty five percent of people voting, that means that seventy
five percent of people have effectively voted for no counsel,
so for no Maya, and they should win at that point,
and then you should carry on doing whatever it is
(09:42):
you've been doing. Let's just lodgic a rerap and Mike
as Mike gets vegetables on the brain. I don't know
if you've noticed that it was all about the ridicio
a while back, and now it's something even worse.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Brussels sprouts. What's going on here? I had last week
and this is the second time I've told you about
my story about lunch. But we went out to lunch
and they had the rest of the day for two
people lamb forty nine dollars each, one hundred dollars for
two people until you got so much food. It was
in credit. But one of the dishes that came with
the Lamb Lamb was on a bit of barley, beautiful potatoes, carrots,
(10:15):
Brussels sprouts, absolutely delicious. They cannot sell Brussels spouts for
love or money. At the moment, you're about eleven dollars
a kilo for Brussels sprouts. If you go to Pack
and Save and buy a Pam's four hundred grand bag,
you're paying five to seventy nine. That's good buying New
Zealand get into the bay.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They're so disgusting. Yeah, And we later revealed later on
in the program that the reason that they were so
nice is because they were caramelized and people wrap them
and bacon, and people are always going on about wrapping them.
If you've got to do that amount of stuff to
a thing, then the thing probably isn't that nice, and
it isn't tiny little try hard want to be cabbages,
(10:53):
and cabbages are disgusting. They should be outlawed, They should
be branded a noxious plant and got rid of spray
them before they could be picked and sold. Where I
think I've made my view someone Brussels Sprout's been clearly
and we'll be back here with more food talk Veggie

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
