Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from news Talk said, be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio,
The Rerap.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Okay there and welcome to the Rewrap for Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
All the best but's from the Mic Clasking breakfast on
news Tool said, be a a sillier package. I am
Glenhart and today catching the bus to school it's a
bit more arduous for some people and others depending on
where you are. The Ukraine War, that's definitely arduous. What
is a bacon and egg roll in? How much should
it cost?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
And what are we looking for in terms of homeownership?
Before any of that?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
School lunches? We just can't stop talking about this, can
we it?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Mike loves it.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
I made a plea last week that those who should
know better clearly didn't hear, or if they did, they
don't care. Are the school lunch drama, the school lunch obsession,
the school lunch bitchethon enough already? I think most sensible
people have agreed that the first three weeks, yes, they've
had their issues. The major and unacceptable bit is the
rival time school has regimented business. Lunch is when lunches

(01:18):
and the lunch provided by the state, should be there
at lunch. If you can't do it, you're breaching your deal.
But as for the rest, it has become nauseating. It
seems there is a government, hating union, or army of
whiners who have decided that making bitching about lunch their
call in life, their reason for being there, has on
debt are. The latest is the halal complaint. It was

(01:40):
a time when lunch was lunch. You want to change
it up, that's on you. It's like coffee. It was
once milk or no milk. Halal is a specific thing.
That's more on you. If it's a big deal, sort
it yourself. The best one was from yet another moaning principle,
who suggested the problems with lunches threatened their sense of community.
You serious, what does that even mean? I mean, obviously

(02:02):
it means nothing. It's psychobabble. If you could harness the
energy that has been put into being a pain of
the balm over school lunches, you could power a large
city for a week. It is the fault of the
monas it is the fault of the media for feeding
the moners by giving them mere time. They don't deserve
the pie thing I think we're seen by most middle
of the road New Zealander is as a pathetic try
it on. Kids love pies when we feed them healthy,

(02:26):
principles moan no, and eats it when we give them pies.
Principles moan it's not good enough. When we have three
weeks of moaning, we have our sense of community threatened. Apparently,
never have so few moaned so loud about so little
in a country with real and large problems. It's been
reduced to water wall coverage, of cellophane, ingredients, timing, pies

(02:50):
and community. It is truly pathetic.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm actually yet the point now where I'm thinking life
isn't so bad. If that's all we've got to complain about,
it definitely making me feel quite good about things. Seriously,
if you're your moaning about is the way that some
kids lunch is wrapped, or whether it's five minutes late,
it's the rewrap.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
It could be worse.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You could have to It's been an hour on a
school bus and then end out having to talk to
Mike Husking.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
So we're out there cleaning the letterbox out and and
a young lady walks down our road and she goes Hello,
she it's twenty past four Friday afternoon, and my point
being that she's just arrived home from the school bus
in the city. So she goes to the school each
day via the bus to the city and then comes back.
So obviously it takes her a bit over an hour

(03:40):
because by the time you get out at three o'clock
and wander off to the bus and the bus leaves
it fire past or whatever, you get back into the
country at twenty past four, So she catches the bus
every day. This interests me because there is a scrap
going on at the moment. The government has terminated thirty
eight routes, shortened an extended one hundred and twenty six,
and has merged and created six new ones the rural bus.
Now there's a to do because people think all this

(04:01):
is unfair. Now the ministry runs services. These country buses
require at least eight eligible pupils per bus. Now I
suddenly thought about this. Eight pupils is not really a bus,
is it. For a start, it could be a van
or indeed a large suv. So why would you have
a bus of all, you're taking seven or eight kids?
Why not get yourself a van? Students eligible must attend

(04:22):
their closest state or state integrated school, live at at
least three point two kilometers from the school for primary
or four point eight kilometers. Now, this young lady lives
seventy kilometers from her school, so she's well and truly qualified.
So you can be four point eight killed. Is that
even a distance? I mean I travel further every day
to work. It's not like four point eight kilometer. Isn't

(04:43):
it really that far? And have no other public transport options,
So everyone thinks it's blunt, it's crude, it's rude. The
government are ripping them off. I'm looking at a young
lady at four twenty on a Friday, perfectly happy to
catch the bus to town and catch the bus home again.
She doesn't seem to be remotely bothered. And as much
as I love the country, because I at least part
of the time live in the country, at some point

(05:04):
you've got to take responsibility for living in the country,
don't you. One of the things you do in the
country is you sort of sometimes got to look after
your own water. Sometimes you got to look after your
own rubbish. Sometimes you get a shingle road, sometimes you
live a long way long way away from stuff. But
you made that decision to live a long way away
from stuff, and if you do, one of the consequences

(05:24):
might be you got to get your kids to school
by yourself.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Did you manage to figure out from that where the
mic is four or against public funded school buses? And
also I don't know that she was.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
I didn't was she.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Really happy about spending two hours a day on a
school bus.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Or was she just putting that on for Mike Hosking rewrap.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Now I'm just having another check because I'm pretty sure
Trump said that the Ukraine war would be over day
one doesn't know it still going.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
What's happened there?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
They call it a once in a generation crisis. Summit
Star is going to be their Macron called Schiltz's ropeable
over the JD Van's comments. The JD Vans comments, by
the way, that has put Europe into meltdown. We're a
very good example of what is good but also what
is bad about the Trump regime. His suggestioned that Europe
should really be worried, not about Russia or the Chinese,
but the pressure from within is actually quite a good point.

(06:21):
All he was saying for all those freaking out about
the move throughout Europe to the so called far right.
Ask yourself, why what is it you're not hearing, or
seeing or accepting that is leading to these outcomes electorally?
So far, so good. Then he went and gave Romania
as an example, a presidential race that is fairly widely
accepted as being a jack app backed by the Russians.
So start with a good point, mess it up with

(06:43):
a shanky follow up, not dissimilar to his boss, who
quite rightly pointed out that what was going on in
Gaza for years hasn't and isn't working, but then talks
about the Riviera and something you can to an upper
east side condo opportunity anyway, upshots, the same Ukraine can
be at the peace talk table. Ultimately, Europe can't q meltdown.
This is where the laziness and complacency of Europe intersects

(07:04):
with the financial might of America. When you've funded the war,
a war that's going nowhere, you call the shots Europe
has watched four three years now, a conflict funded to
a fraction of the extent the Americans did. That means
you give up a form of legitimacy. When you were
browbeaten by the Americans into actually forking out for NATO
two that you said you would but didn't, you've lost credibility.

(07:25):
So when a big mad ego maniac arrives in the
White House, guess what You're going to be called out,
shut out, and forced to finally wake up to your complacency.
It'll all work out fine. Of course, this is what
Trump does, pictures the absurd and back pedals. But tell
that to the Macrons and starmerzan Co. They are wetting
their pants.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I do often think that world leaders, some of.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Them they were bullied at school and they ended up
becoming a leader of a country just to get back
at the bullies, and then to then end up in
a room again with somebody like Trump who probably just
bullies them again, and they'll be left in that situation

(08:07):
where Trump leaves the room him and they'll think of
something clear it and oh I should have said that,
but I didn't think of it at the time, would
have put him in his place. What if there's a
lot of that going on a rerap right now.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
The bacon and egg roll situation.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Apparently ossie tourists are finding them too expensive.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Hair and yeah, as you'll hear me say, yeah, this
is a thing that I didn't even know was a thing.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
Do give me some feedback because I'm not a bacon
and egg role specialist, but is a bacon and egg
role in this country really twenty three to twenty five dollars?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
What does the bacon and egg roll exactly?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Well, it's a roll with bacon and egg in it. Glenn,
let's not over, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I just don't think I've come across one. And it
sounds like the kind of thing that I might be into.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Well, he could be making it up. He's full of it, Mike.
I'm in a bakery now, baking an egg roll of
eight fifty morning, Mike, baking an egg roll eleven bucks
Mount Roskill.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Tell you what I'm just looking at. Picture after that.
They are in burger buns, They're not in rolls.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
If the Prime Minister is going to launch a campaign
and this is the sort of bitching, moaning Australian we're
going to get, we don't want to go back home.
If all you're going to do is coming from Queensland
wine about the bacon and egg bun slash roll burger
don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I'm actually not that big on bacon. I know you
might be surprised to hear that, because I don't mind a.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Bit of what can we loosely called junk food.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
But yeah, I just never heard of this of a
thing described as a bacon an egg roll before. And
I thought that it was one of two things. Either
it was like a cheese roll, which we don't really
have in the northern part of New Zealand that's further south.
You know, it's your bread. It's basically wrapped up and
cheese and other things. I thinning on the recid meat
and then toasted in a quiet taste. Again poly or

(09:54):
I thought maybe, as Mike tried to say that, it
was kind of like a field role, except it's filled
with egg and bacon. But like every single picture that
I looked up was in a bit it was basically
in a burger. But there are a few that were
like raps that they are raps, they're not rolls either.

(10:18):
And then we've found the phone one picture whereas in
a muffin and again not a roll.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
These Australian Terrists with they ordering the wrong thing, that's
all I'm saying, is there something lost in translation.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Somewhere the re wrap.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
I don't normally put a biz in this podcast, but
I thought this one was reasonably entertaining. I feel like
I've said that twice in the last couple of weeks.
Maybe I do normally put a bizz in the rewrap.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well, the ins and the ouse. It's the fizz with
business fiber take your business productivity to the mixed level.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Ah the old property ownership thing.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
L J.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Hooker survey this morning this morning shows our desire to
own a home is still as high as ever. Eighty
one percent of us want to own our own place,
younger generations who want it most. Obviously, eighty four percent
still view a home as a solid investment. That's because
it is. Unsurprisingly, affordability is holding most of them back
ninety seven percent, so the price is their biggest hurdle,

(11:16):
no kidding, followed by seventy nine percent saying mortgage repayments, Well,
that is price, isn't it a meant? The price is
debtails and with a mortgage repayment seventy two percent having
a stable income, they're the other biggest barriers will get
out of the gig economy and get yourself a proper job. Esthetic.
Here's here's what the young Here's what the young'uns want.
Sixty one percent prefer hardwood, Fifty nine percent like carpet.

(11:44):
Outdoor space apparently remains non negotiable. Got to have some
outdoor space. And you wonder why affordability is an issue.
Two thirds say they wouldn't consider a place without a
gardener a law, absolutely, and why would you? Why should
you have to You've got to have some indoor outdoor
flow and a gardener lawn for your first home affordability.

(12:04):
Forty eight percent of gen z is also say they'd
like their have to have a gym home gym. The
guy was doing some renovations for me a number of
years ago, and he see, He said, mate, it's all
indoor outdoor flow. When I was young, when I started out,
we wanted three bedrooms and a bathroom. These doors. These days,
they all want indoor outdoor flow. They want a bloody

(12:25):
wine cellar as well. No wonder they can't afford a house.
And he was one hundred.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
You've got to have a butler's pantry and a media
room obviously in a pool settle for a punched pool
if you have to, or maybe a swim spar.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
If you're really slumming it all relative, isn't it. I
am Glen Hart. That was the rewrap.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
We'll do it all again tomorrow, and hopefully I'll have
a clearer idea of what exactly constitutes.
