The Rewrap, thean.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Welcome to the Rewrap for Wednesday, all the best bits
from the mic asking breakfast on News Talks. He'd been
a sillier package. I am gleen Heart. Today we're gonna
have a look at the new phones, the new iPhones.
There might be something even better than iPhones. Actually from
the Eco launch this morning, ev misbusted more of those
after having a crack at the BSA Husk sex site
(00:48):
on the ASA. And then we'll keep the acronyms going
with AI at the end of the pod and a
sort of a dead Dick joke. But before any of that.
Labour's relationship with the Maori Party. They need them, but
do they want them?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I've been wondering when the penny would drop, and yesterday
just might have been at two stories, no list, two
stories just yesterday on Chris Hopkins's problems with the Maori Party.
You see, for all the energy the media wants to
put into Christopher Luxen and his future, the very obvious
other side of the coin if they ever wanted to
explore it lies in the very real issue for Labour
in the even coming close to putting together the numbers
(01:25):
to form a government. Now, the genesis of the coverage
came out of the fairest posts on all the Asians
and the Blacks and the other races byerly managed to
pedal in the lead up to last Saturdays to barkle
up a by election. The Marory Party had to apologize
and obviously Hepkins had to face the growing reality that
these folks are crazies and not remotely interested in being helpful,
useful or part of a coalition. Why this hasn't occurred
(01:46):
to more in the media before Now, I've got no
idea other than to offer the suggestion it may just
be a bit inconvenient for them and their agendas and
it's far easier to help build on the so called
demise of the Prime Minister. But yesterday we got there
at last. Simple questions, how does Labor even begin to
form a deal with the Marory Party? And this is
one for the coverage of the polls as well. See
(02:06):
you will note in poll and the way they're presented,
they're presented as a simple center left, center right number
collection right a collection of parties added up, and the
headline is formed from the result of the maths and
this week's curiopole, for example, there was to be apparently
a change of government, but it involves each time the assumption,
and what an assumption it is that Labor and the
(02:27):
Greens and the Maori Party are one group and no
such thing has ever happened. And let me make this
prediction for you right now this morning. It never will.
So add the numbers of likely groupings and you are
left with Labor and maybe the Greens. Do they get
to government? No they don't. So Hipkins, given it's his issue,
not the Marory parties, has to answer the very simple
(02:47):
question will you work with the Marory Party? And if so, how,
what jobs do they get? What policies are theirs are
you implementing? And given he can't answer that, and dare
I suggest won't he needs to grow as party support
to about forty percent, which he can't and you won't either,
which is why he's not winning the election next year.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
It's interesting, isn't it. Do people even now understand enough
about MMP that they really know who they're voting for
and those sorts of circumstances. I guess we'll find out
and come on, it's more than a year away. When
the key is, let's stop talking about it. So we wrap,
especially when we've got new iPhones to look at and
(03:28):
drawl over, and watchers and EarPods.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Trending now with him as well, Spring Frenzy.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Sale on Now Writer or dropping Apple launch. Just over
an hour ago, Tim was on fire for us.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Design goes beyond just how something looks or feels. Design
is also how it works. This philosophy guides everything we do,
including the products we're going to introduce today and the
experiences they provide.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Everything we do. Eight new devices, three new watchers, new aarpods,
four new phones, Yes you got your seventeen, the seventeen Pro,
the seventeen Promacs, and the iPhone ear that's skinny five
point six millimeters. The base model of the air base
model of the air starts at just two and forty
nine dollars. What cost of living crisis. The AirPods are
(04:18):
going to be the talking point. Though AirPods throw three.
They can translate in real.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Time using a new simple gesture. Live translation begins translating
Spanish well A and C lowers the volume of the
person speaking, so it's easier to focus on the translation.
All Ami, Hello, welcome today.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
All the red carnations are fifty percent.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Off, and it doesn't just translate individual words. The meaning
of each phrase is translated for you.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Okay, iOS twenty six they've announced that already, but it
rolls out for real now. That makes all your icons
look like glass and some AI in there. That's not
really that exciting. The Apple Watch that starts the se
starts at force. The seventeen Pro Max. It's got the
top of the line two terrabyte model. You can run
(05:14):
a small town on that. By the way, just plug
it into a small town and the whole town lights up.
It's incredible. Only lasts for twenty minutes, but toker Row
you can light Tokowa up for twenty minutes. It's amazing.
Do you know what The iPhone seventeen Pro Max retails
at four I know, four thousand, one hundred and forty
(05:35):
nine dollars, taking the pess so disappointingly.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
There was also supposed to be an Apple TV new
home pod where that was the rumor. Anyway, there's definitely
supposed to be coming before the end.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Of the year.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
There's going to be a lot of heartbroken Apple fans
out there if they don't the rewrap right. Nobody loves
evs more than my pusking. And here's what he's got
to say about them today.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Who is responsible? Opening question for the morning? Who is
responsible if you wreck an industry? Now? The head of
Mercedes globally this is a bloke called all Collenius. He's
claimed the rules around evs as enacted by the Europeans
as sending the industry to the wall. In fact, at
full speed into the wall. The industry risks, he says, collapsing.
Now think about that for just a moment. Collapsing, not hurt,
(06:23):
not fearful of terrifs, not a billionaire or two here
or there, depending on the rules of the day, but collapsing.
The car industry never decided. Of course EV's were a
good thing. They didn't make the mistake of misreading the
public demand. They were told through law that a certain
percentage of their output had to be electric, and if
it wasn't, they would be taxed by way of a
penalty for each and every car they made that wasn't
battery powered. Now we all know the global story around
(06:45):
electric cars. They have not been adopted in a way
the politicians wanted them to be, as the subsidies have stopped,
as people like Trump have shunned the entire concept. The
EV's story has become increasingly calamitous, and now a claim
that an entire industry might fall over China, which is
an interesting part of the story, is not helping given
their government as propping up any number of EV producers
(07:05):
so they can flood global markets with product. Now, in Europe,
that sort of thing is illegal for obvious reasons. They
have sanctions and terrafts for such matters. Poor political decision
making from foreigners is punished. So on that theory, why
isn't the poor decision making of the twenty seven European
governments that signed on to the EV obsession getting punished
for the sales that aren't happening, the money that isn't made,
(07:25):
the jobs that are lost, and potentially the industry that
will collapse. Virtually every single European motormaker has pulled back
on the EV tradecory. Why because they know a dog
when they see it and they won't mind surviving. So
where is the accountability from Brussels. How many global car
manufacturing heads have to suggest collapse is the next step
in their journey because of a bunch of ideologically driven
(07:47):
politicians who couldn't or refused to see the wood for
the net zero.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Yeah? Interesting, isn't it a ev thing? This is never
really caught on interesting. I sort of smugly keep driving
around in my hybrid and doing five leaders one hundred
k's at the moment. Even not bad. It's a rerap, right,
(08:15):
somehow I'm going to get dragged into this Mike's taking
on the ASA. I don't think I want to as well.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Then I go and infuriate myself further by looking up
members of the ASA Advertising Standards Authority. Now I don't
deal much with the Advertising Standards Authority because I'm not
really in advertising. I'm in broadcasting an ideal with the BSA.
And there are a bunch of clowns as well, and
just a complete and utter waste of time. I mean
they're not clowns in the sense I know one of
the guys on it, John, my mate John's on it,
and he's a good guy. But what a waste. And
(08:45):
the ASA appears to be the same because they've come
out and they were was it the ASA and the BSA,
we're going to be joined together? And that's now off. Yeah,
that's another Paul Goldsmith's special I don't know what he's
been doing. I like Paul as well. My problem is
I've got a big heart and I just like everybody,
even when they're incompetent. So Paul Goldsmith's a nice guy.
But what he's doing in media, I've got no idea
because he hasn't done a damn thing. So they were
(09:06):
going to move ASA and the BSA, but they're not
going to do that for reasons best known to themselves anyway. Meantime,
back at the ASA, they announced yesterday the Tina from
Turner's ad, which is the one with the lines the
cops are looking for it, the one your auntie says, look, shit,
you got so fat, the seats don't fat? You know,
the one we all laughed at and we thought that's
quite a cool add.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Team and then eventually got thoroughly sick and tired.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
But that's the same. We would never hear it the
same with all advertising.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But I mean it's they're in trouble for for it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No, No, it's not. Unfortunately, Tina from Turners is probably one.
And Glenn and I are old copywriters. We we crafted,
we crafted away for many years writing ads. So we're creatives.
Not only do we have big hearts, but we're creatives.
We know a good we know a good campaign when
we see one. So Tina from Turner's is one of
the cleverest modern interpretations of creative expression. We've seen many,
(09:54):
many a year. But oh no, the good old ASA,
some some idiot, his name will be Brian, he will
have complained about this. And anyway, the ASA decided yesterday
the ad was quote a disgrace to hwheez because of
the aforementioned line. Because the spinning they're smoking up, they're
doing a burnout. Now, that allegedly means that that's a
(10:16):
legal activity and shouldn't be in an ad. I mean,
come on, and when we've got the line, the cops
are looking for it. That implies the cast stolen, That
implies all of that. If you have literally no sense
of humor and you're barely human and you take yourself
far too bloody. Seriously, the rest of us just found
it entertaining and engaging in a very successful campaign. So
(10:41):
when I get to be Minister of Broadcasting, let me
write this, Like.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I remember, I rode an ad once for a liquor
store and they were selling something. Then I said it
was going to warm the cockles of your heart now,
and I wasn't allowed to say that because it was
making a medical claim.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
See thing that because you were doing that in nineteen
seventy three. See things haven't changed that way. So when
I get to be a Minister of Broadcasting, the first
thing I'm going to do is close down the ASA,
followed very shortly by the BSA and we can all
get on with life.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah. Look, just because I once wrote radio ads doesn't
mean that you know, I want to take on a
whole organization like the ASA, just saying I still voice
ads actually, so I could still be a target. Rewrap right,
a little bit of quick AI news. Really, I'm only
(11:28):
putting this in because I'm going to let you just
decide on the quality of the joke that Dad Mike makes.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Here down by AI freaks Abu Dhabi, they've got something
for you. They've called it K two. Think. It claims
to deliver performance on par with your open ayes and
your deep seeks, except it's a fraction of the size.
Size is important, so I've been told.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I mean to be fair. Mike has five licenses to
tell dad jokes, so yeah, licenses me by three. I've
only got two licenses, so I guess if he wants
to make them, he can make him. I am a
glen hat. This podcast was eel the thinnest one ever,
I think. But I am going to charge you a
little bit more. We'll see you back here again tomorrow.
(12:15):
I'm not really going to change. I'm not going to
charge you anything. You don't go in pay, don't put
you on. I know you want to put your.
