Speaker 1 (00:09):
You're listening to a podcast from News Talks. It'd be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio, rep.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good Idea and Welcome to the Rewrap for Monday or
the Best, But from the Mic Husking Breakfast on News Talks,
he'd be in a sillier package. I am gleen hand today.
Aren't all bowels the same color? And you know what
color they are? The Warriors. This is the year, apparently
(00:46):
because they had a good win after a humiliating defeat.
So it's yeah, why you should just never ever, ever,
never ever go on social media. And Mike tries to
tell the time. But before any of that, yeah, the
F one. So it rains a bit and suddenly everybody
loses their minds and forgets how to drive their cars
properly or can't because they've got the run tires on
(01:08):
stupid support.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Mike, I have never watched an F one race before,
but watched Liam yesterday. I thought the rain added intrigued
with the issues what tires, safety, cars and speed at corners,
et cetera. Max with drs fascinating it was, but exactly
I think my summation was, if you watched yesterday and
you still didn't enjoy it. Then f one's not for you,
and that's life, Mike, It's not for me exactly, Mike.
Everyone was talking laws en up, including yourself. Bit of
(01:31):
a disappointment, yes and no, I mean disappointing. He didn't win. Disappointing.
He didn't score points. At one point he was tenth,
could have scored points, but the car was against him.
Luck was against him, experience was against him. He hadn't
been on the track China, the pressures on. They spent
a lot of time. Max was slow in the early
part of the weekend as well, so they spent a
lot of time fixing Max's car that worked. They didn't
have time to fix Lilliam's car properly. He started from
(01:53):
the pit lane. His engine wouldn't work. He couldn't get
out in P three. Qualifying was a mess. They then
decided to stick a new wing. He was going to
start eighteenth, and then they went, actually, Liam will stick
and you wing on the back of your car. When
you do that, cause cars under what they call Parma anyway,
you can't do it. So when they do it, you
start in the pit lane. So he started in the
pit lane and then it's raining, and so the whole
(02:14):
thing was a cluster. It was a nightmare. So we
can't write that sort of talent off. I mean, you
can go to Hedger who literally spun out in the
formation lap and Carlos Science, one of the cleverest and
most experienced drivers going bowled out as well, so you think,
and Alonso crashed so he was in good company.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
So basically it was complete luck. Really, if you were
able to finish that race yesterday, you may as well
have been watching people working the slot machines in a
casino in Las Vegas. What's the point of see the
most pointless thing? You never have so many people tuned
in to watch something that they've got no understanding of.
(02:56):
Well since the last America's Cup anyway, it's a rewrap.
So I think Mike has anointed himself as the official,
unofficial anti maarification omissionaire. He's found another thing in his sights.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
We received another of these Government went against officials advice
headlines over the weekend. You see that this was on
bowl testing. The government has recently announced that testing has
dropped in age from sixty to fifty eight. The money
to pay for that extra testing has come from separate
Marian Pacific testing, which cuts in I think from memory
about fifty The official advice is that more lives could
be saved if you tested more Maori and Pacific Islanders.
(03:34):
The new Health Minister, God bless them said in response,
what we need to do to save more lives is
test more people. He is, of course unquestionably right, because
the word people is critical. We're all people, and given
we all contribute to the system that tests us, exempting
some from excess Ie and non Maori is not right
yet again as part of the race based system we
(03:56):
have in this country, which hopefully is slowly but surely
being dismantled. Adding to this officials advice part of the
story is my increasing concern, based on one the Brian
Roach reported into the public service generally and to the
Deloitte report last weekend Health New Zealand specifically, it is
possible the so called official advice is either pointless or
politically motivated. Obviously, if you start with the system that
(04:17):
anyone any time can get a test and work backwards
because it's not effectab or affordable, at some point you
come to a happy, ish, affordable medium age will be
a factor. No point in bowel testing in twenty nine
year old. So what's that magic number they decided sixty
until they decided fifty eight? Breast screening mammograms, of course
have gone through the same debate for years, but at
no point should race be a factor, and yet it
(04:39):
has been. Having just completed my first state participant bowel screen,
I would be deeply offended if I was bumped, delayed,
or stopped simply because I'm not Maori or Pacific Island.
I'm a taxpayer and I'm a New Zealander. My right
is no more or less important or relevant than anyone else's.
And yet there are those that would argue otherwise. By
prioritizing race, you are saying one life is worth more
(05:02):
than another. You can't do that, and that's what makes
the official advice wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Actually, I know I said that we all know what
the color your bowel is that it actually has been.
I know that because I've seen inside my own one.
That's they tell you about that when you go for
a colonoscopy, that you'll get to watch the whole thing
on a screen if you want to. I didn't want to,
(05:27):
but it was there saw some of it enough to
know that I didn't want to see any more of it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Rewrap.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I pretty much decaid I didn't want to see any
more of the Warriors this season after the whole Las
Vegas scenario. But it turns out they'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Apparently. I hope this isn't going to be a thing,
you know? Is it part of what keeps us coming
back for more? I wonder to myself, yes, the Warriors win.
If it had been the first game of the season,
would you, well, it would have had you believing all
things are possible. Wouldn't it that this is a fit, fast,
creative side that's capable of beating anyone. Mainly were favorites,
but were their favorites because this wasn't Week one. Week
(06:04):
one was the calamity that unfolded in the Las Vegas.
Las Vegas was a shock, well for me anyway, I mean,
how is it you can prepare that badly? How can
you look that out of sorts when you've had an
entire offseason to think about it and get ready for it.
A loss would not have been the end of the world,
But it's how you lose that counts. But then I
suppose it's how you bounce back as well, isn't it?
But that's the point. Is this a season of roller
(06:26):
coaster inexplicable outcomes again? Disaster one week, sintillating glory the next.
My brother texted me, we have to get you along
like the old days, he said. See, my brother and
I used to go to all the home games, and
then life and schedules and distance got in the way.
I texted back, why would I stay up late? My
our suck as well? Given it was an eight o'clock kickoff,
of course, why would I stay up late for this?
(06:48):
It was four minutes and Manly had just gone the
length of the field to score their opening try. Before
I could text again, they'd scored a penalty. Had the
Warriors brought Vegas back with them to the home ground? No,
they had not, And what ensued is what we want,
and here I suggest what we expect. Yet again, we're
talking about the theory versus the reality, aren't we This
is a good side on paper and occasionally on the field.
They got a great coach and a great structure and
(07:10):
set up. How do we explain Vegas? Followed by Friday,
two different teams, two different results. Obviously, all they have
to do is bottle Friday and roll it out for
the rest of the season. But then if they could
do that, we'd know what happens next, and then next
and then next after that, and that would be boring.
I'll take Friday and its hope and prospect and suggest
if a chunk of that is where we are headed. Then,
(07:30):
as the first text I read on Saturday morning said
from my mate in Sydney, this is our year.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
He's got some call doing that. I know it's a
tradition when the worries when he'll tell everybody that this
is our year on a Monday morning. But seriously, given
how he completely slagged them off after Vegas, to then
come on and say that with any kind of a
straight face, get I hand it to.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Him the rewrap.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
If you ever need any more encouragement to never ever
ever use social media, how about this?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So Rawari, is this a news story or not? So
acts responded. So Rawori goes home to wherever Raweri lives
and the missus is waiting for him. Kerrie's waiting tells
him to go do the lawns now. First of all,
Rawi goes out to the lawns with a weed whacker. Now,
anyone who's doing the whole lawns with the weed whacker
is something wrong with him. He's not an expert in
(08:29):
the domestic maintenance.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Starting with I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I don't believe he is. I believe he's doing the
whole lawn. It looks like a lawn that he's doing
with the weed wacker. I'm open to also not only
telling the minute in the hour, but to apologizing for
him if he brings out something fabulous from still that
suggests he might have a lawnmark. But at this particular
point in time, evidence would suggest he's only got a
weed whacker and he's doing his whole lawn with a
(08:53):
weed whacker. So there's mistake number one. I've just told him,
says missus. It's tammahiry waity. I told him to just
behave as though every piece of grass is a David Seymour.
So you can that they're a fun couple when they
go home and get together over the weekend. Lawn's getting
(09:13):
a good efing hiding is the line in the social
media post. Lawn's getting a good efing hiding, at which
point the act party roll in and they criticize why
to t for this. We have a race based party
that preaches racial supremacy and violence, and a number of
you have noted this morning that if it had been
(09:35):
Seymour out there with this weed whacker suggesting he was
going to give Rawori.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
There, I picture, I'm doing it. Let's still in the suit.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
He doesn't. He loosens his tie but doesn't take it off.
If he had said I'm going to give Rawori a
good efing hiding, would we be handling it in a
completely different way. So there's my question to you.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
To be fair. If you have let it go out
a little bit and he's running a mulching blade on
the MAA, you do probably he did knock the top
off and then go over it, you know, with a whacker,
and then go over it before we go over it
with them. Otherwise everything's just going to get gamished up
three rat. I would have gone a bit to technical
on the lawns there, and I may have missed the point.
(10:20):
Let's finish up here, just see if we might can
tell the time. I'm not that confident, Mike.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I agree with the guy about announcing the hour. Wait
until you retire in time. Becomes quite a different thing, Jason,
I don't. I don't think that's true. I don't think
it becomes quite a different thing at all. Not not.
I mean occasionally though, Katie will say to me, I
say something like, are we having dinner tonight? And she'll go, oh,
for goodness sake, what's the time? And I'll go, it's well,
in our house it's three thirty, yeah, exactly, And she'll go, well,
(10:51):
where's the day gone? And so there is a bit
of that. You may well be right, where's the day gone?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You're already in your gym, Jams.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I shouldn't laugh, actually, because it's true.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
There's a lot of watches and clocks and things that
don't have any numbers on and you're just supposed to
figure it out anyway. So that's more of an old
fashioned sort of thing. So I thought people would be
cool with that. And also, you're just not listening to
the show enough. The show goes from six to nine.
You should be listening to the whole thing, and then
(11:22):
you would know what time it is when he says
that it's ten past or quarter two or whatever. So yeah,
i'd definitely throw it back on the listeners. You know
you're not listening hard enough, not like you guys. I
want not talking to the podcast listeners here. You guys
are fantastic. You've listened to the whole thing. I know it.
You know what time it is. I know what time
(11:43):
it is, and it doesn't matter because it's the podcast.
So I'll see you're back here again tomorrow at exactly this.
