You're listening to a podcast from News Talk, said B.
Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Rewrap.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Okay, then welcome to the Rewrap for Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
All the best bets from the mic casking breakfast on
news Talk, said B, and a sillier package I am
being hat and back a lap.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Guys, this is going to be a long one.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Sorry in advance, but all the best bets took a
bit longer today.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
What can I tell you? So?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
What are we talking about? Well, weight loss, drugs. We
will mark the week's Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's what we do.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
A lot of Michelin, star Turk, a surprising amount of
car wash talk and then the skills you need to
get a job these days. So this is all Yes,
there's all news you can use for sure. And then
Mike's also looking back on the whole missed opportunity to
clean up the homeless people off our streets.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I think that's what he was trying to do now.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
The missed opportunity this week, I'm afraid to report driven
by fear and blunt honesty or lack of blunt honesty.
When asked Tuesday in the Parliament whether the government was
going to change the law to ban homeless people from
camping in downtown areas of this country. The Prime Minister
gave us the answer of a scared person scared to
deal with the truth. Technically, it may, as he said,
it may currently be true they have not discussed it
(01:33):
in cabinet. Technically it may be true they haven't passed
a law, but that wasn't the point. The point is
trouble and CBDs is crippling entire cities and it needs
to stop, and that's where his answers should have started.
Then he should have gone on to say, we've had
meetings and we've worked out no one has the power
to actually tackle this particular issue, so we're going to
change that, and then he should have outlined how they
(01:55):
were going to change it. We don't deal with the
motive stories well in this country because of fear, and
that needs to change as well. Homelessness for many is sad,
not all, but many. There will be addiction and sorrow
and madness literally and figuratively. You can get lost in that.
If you let yourself, then you end up like the
Labour Party apologizing for shocking outcomes. Wrote a ruer, anyone
(02:16):
but each part of any given a motive story has
a waiting. If the waiting is wrong on one part,
disaster ensues being afraid to deal with the very real problem.
For fear of offense is overweighting the plight of the homeless.
The homeless need help, yes, but they can't wreck the
joints simply because of their status. They don't get more
rights because of who they are, and we can't look
away just because it's easy to do so. Also requiring
(02:38):
their share of weight is every business operator, bus driver,
worker and citizen who wouldn't mind using their CBD but
doesn't or as fearful to because our leaders won't deal
with hard issues. No one argues it isn't a problem.
We can wait if you want a bit about how
we resolve it. But resolve it we must, and that
involves getting the problem out of downtown and it requires
the right attitude to do it. Labour asks the question.
(03:00):
Because they back the homeless, they're happy to rect cities
and businesses. Their record shows that the Prime Minister fail
to show up as a leader though, and run with
the se because as he stood to answer, his backbone vanished.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So big hearted husk strokes again, A get that trash
off the streets. No matter what, come on, government, lift
your game. Let's break those barnacles a rewrap. At least
it looks like there'll be better access to weight.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Loss drugs here in his Zealand? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
It also looks like they're going to be fair access
for weight loss drugs in America?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Mike, can you please ask how much the listeners on
we goobe paper month of their jabs. I tried sexender Saxender,
which work, but I had to give up because the
cost was fifteen hundred dollars a month. I mean, w
Gooby's correct me if I'm wrong, but it's roughly four
or five hundred dollars a month. Mike, I'm on. We're
going and have been for a couple of months. Works
amazingly well. I lost about eight kg's zero side effects.
You've got to eat well and limit serving size to
(03:57):
avoid side effects. That's the whole IDEA five hundred a
month is probably unaffordable for most people who need it.
That's the problem, and the great g of it. This
is the seam will argue he's in charge of farmak.
Of course, the seymour argument is, if you can spend
a buck to save five bucks, and what's one of
the biggest problems in this country obesity. So if you
(04:18):
can spend a buck supporting mogob or all the others, Menjaro,
I am told is the better one. A lot of
people have side effects on with Goobi and all of
that sort of thing. And you've also got to exercise.
That's the other thing that most people don't understand. You've
got it kills your appetite, but you've got to exercise
because your muscles and stuff waste away, So you've got
to I've got to be dedicated to the cause. But
(04:38):
Seymour's arguments, you spend a buck to save five So
if you can, if you can get people not going
to hospital for dialysis, for example, because of their diabetes,
you're on who will win it. That's the area. Of
all the things that are happening in health, the GLP
one story is probably the most profound globally, and I
think we're on the cusp of solving probably one of
(05:01):
the world's great health crisis.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's interesting how they're key to the success of these things.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Seems to be making sure that you take your drug,
and then you also eat well and control your portion
size and exercise, and I feel like if you do
those things and don't take the drug, you'll probably lose
a bit of weight. That's certainly what I've been drying recently.
It seems to be working out quite well. Rewrap right,
(05:27):
and now we've been talking eating already in the podcast.
I guess this wouldn't help with your weight last efforts
if you went to a Michelin Star restaurant, just depends
on what they're serving.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I suppose, back.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
To the business of Michelin Stars and the question, and
fair enough to I was slightly disappointed on the millions
of dollars we've spent to get micheline here, but I
forgive them that because it grows tourism. There is a
direct connection between food and tourism. Food tourism is a thing.
And if you can go to a place, and I've
done it, I've gone to places knowing that I will
(06:00):
go to a Michelin Star restaurant when I get there,
So that's tangible and it is real and the best
meal that I literally where It's not just the meal,
that's the experience, and that's where Michelin stars come from.
The best meal I've ever had in my life was
at a Michelin Star restaurant. What I worry about and
what wasn't asked yesterday as usual in the coverage, was
(06:21):
are they just handing out Michelin Stars because they're suddenly here?
Or does the international standard apply? In other words, that
they come here and no one warrants a standard or
a star. They don't get one or a suddenly next
to you when they start handing them out. We're going
to be festooned with one star Michelin Star restaurant that
really don't deserve it. Last when I went to was
in Singapore. It was a one star, but it was
(06:43):
a young char place. Now, you can't tell me that
yum char restaurants deserve Michelin star. This was a good
yum Char but it didn't. And so it's got a
bit of that about it. So it'll be interesting to
see where it go.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I've certainly never been to a Michelin Star restaurant that
I know of. I'm not sure that I've actually been
to many places they have them, to be fair like,
I don't think are there any in Raratonga for example,
the rewrap anyway, I'll leave it up to our resident expert.
It sounds like he's been to just about all of them.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So the Michelin Star restaurant, right, what's good about the
Michelin Star coming to New Zealand is the greater The
greatest meal of my life was at a three star
michel In restaurant. One stars. They're they're they're they're good restaurants,
but they're no big deal. Two star. There's not many
two stars around because it's that weird thing between one
and three. What you want to do is go to
a three star michel and I will be personally astonished,
(07:35):
unless it's sort of semi corrupt. If we get a
three star michial in this country, we don't have good
enough restaurant. Sorry to say it, but it's true. The
greatest restaurant I Mealaba went to was a place called
The Cast which is at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
And my point being this is most people can afford
the finest meal in the world. Most people can't afford
(07:58):
the best bottle of wine in the world. Are the
best car in the world, the best house in the world,
the best most things in the world, but you can
afford most people can afford the best meal in the world.
And the best meal in the world I ever had
was at the door at the Diecass restaurant. It was
eighty bucks eighty bucks ahead two times two, one hundred
and sixty bucks, one hundred and second pounds one hundred
and sixty pounds for the finest meal in the world.
(08:21):
That's for most people on a special occasion. Pretty affordable question.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, did the fact that you knew that it was
a good question?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yes? And no, can't help it you go to a
special place. But one of the worst meals I had
was also at a three star Michelin restaurant, which was
also the Dicast restaurant, but this time in Paris, and
it was our fault because we misunderstood what they were about,
and what they're about were crustaceans, and they were about
crustaceans to save the earth. They had a theme, and
we didn't know any of this when we went in,
so they just brought this food out. That was first
(08:53):
of all, we couldn't read the menu because it was
in French. But that's our fault, not theirs, and they
certainly weren't translating it to English because they're French. So anyway,
they kept bringing this food out that was disgusting. But
there was disgusting because we don't eat that food. But
we didn't know that anyway. Prawns, No, they didn't have prawns.
If they had prawns, Glenn, that would have been brilliant.
If they had prawn, scallops, muscles, anything that I recognized,
(09:15):
I would have been happy. But they had stuff from
the depths of the ocean that you've never heard from before.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
One of those fish with the lenten in front of
its mouth.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yep, and presented with head on. The whole thing. It
was just a complete and utter, utter disaster. Anyway, So
that's the baby of Michelin stars.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I think actually I would prefer to not know.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And then get to the end of the me I go, yeah,
that was a good meal, and only later when I
tell people about this cool restaurant that I went to,
they gon't, yeah, you know, that's got like two Michelin stars.
Ah that because it's like with the wine. I feel
sometimes the wine tastes better because you know how expensive
(09:55):
it is.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Just don't tell me. I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's the rewrap.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And then bizarrely this led to a story about how
Mike washes his car. If you spend more on washing
your car, does your car look better after it's been washed.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, this is a stupid story, but I'm going to
tell it anyway because it's Friday. So I bought. I
was down at Ripco a couple of weeks ago. But
it's just the mcguires thing triggered me. So I was
down at Ripco and I bought the McGuire's you know
whatever you call it, cowsh So I bought that, and
that's fine. So I'm just and this was a big
new Repco and the just the choice, and you know,
(10:29):
it's like when you're in Ripco, you just see that
and then you see the other thing. It's like being
in a supermarket the biscuit aile. Anyway, so I saw
this pink stuff and I grabbed it, and I was
just looking at the different brands. I always like to
check out what the brands are, how much they cost,
what they're claiming to do. This is for my snow cannon.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I was going to say, is this for the cannon?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is for the snow cannon, So I use occasionally
on the snow cannon, just regular car wash, regular every
day car wash. Now, the purists will tell you there's
a specific snow cannon product which I saw on the
on the shelf, and I thought, oh yeah. I looked
at the price. So a standard bottle of McGuire's is
about thirty bucks ish thirty three four five something like that.
(11:09):
The special product was one hundred and ten dollars for
a liter. One hundred and ten dollars for a liter
of special car wash. Now what do you think I did?
Did I buy a course? I bought him. So then
the next thing was and I bought it not because
I'm a pratt. I am a pratt, but I bought
it also because what I'm going to do is I'm
going to see whether I can justify one hundred and
(11:30):
ten dollars for a letter of this source on the
snow cannon. So the other weekend I used it for
the I had to use up all my other stuff
before I got to this, because I got nervous about
spending that amount of money. And then I thought this
better be good. And then I thought, how can it
be good? How can I just some sauce in a bottle,
sprayed onto a car in any way, shape or form,
(11:50):
end up with me going bloody hell, that was worth
it anyway. So I put it in and I sprayed
it on. Bloody hell, it was worth it. It was unbelievable
in what way. Well, that's what I'm coming to, glenncause
that's what how stories were.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
There are people in cars, I know, for work because
they're waiting to to the point for.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
All the people who have been ringing and texting and stuff.
I do apologize, I've taken a bit of time to
get here, but anyway, so I sprayed it on. So
what you do with the snow can is you with
a water blaster rinse and then you spray the snowfoam
on and then you leave it for a minute, two minutes, whatever.
Then you just rinse it off. Your car's done. You
dry it obviously afterwards, but apart from that's done anyway.
(12:36):
I don't know how. I don't know how it works.
But in spraying it on, it looked different in the substance,
clinged tighter to the car. It looked like it was
clinging on more So, if you put soap on something,
it just sort of slides off. This didn't slide.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This is the one with more clan power.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, this has got cling power. It didn't say cling
power on the bottle. I would, if I was in
the advertising industry, say that more cling power. Anyway, it
clings on to your car and you think, oh, it's clinging.
That'll be interesting. I wonder if that is reflected in
the shine of the car. My word, is it? Ever
then you rinse it off, and the look of the
car it looks showroom new. I swear to god, this
(13:15):
isn't ad. By the way. I've got nothing to do
with Maguire's. It looks showroom new, not just clean, not
just oh yeah, I did a good job on my car.
That looks quite good. This looks brands new. This looks
showroom clean. This looks gob smackingly impressive. Therefore, I would
defend one hundred and ten dollars for a liter, and
(13:36):
not only that, I will be back.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So better than a bottle of Sunlight fish washing liquid.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Then about fifty times better. Just It's like going to
a Michelin Star restaurant and spending more money than you
ever have on a meal, but coming away going you know, what.
I may not be back again, but that was worth
every cent. It's about the memes, folks. It's how Mike
sees it.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That time you wash your car and it ended up
looking really good? Is that really a meme worth meming?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I feel like it.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No. Sooner do I wash my car, Then it rains
on it and it looks the same as it did
before I washed it again. I think Mike has stead
of wet weather cars and dry weather cars to get
around that situation.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's a rewrap, right.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I know the podcast would normally be long finished by now,
but I thought that this was worth putting in as well.
This last bit of news you can use for the day.
The skills you're going to need to get your next job.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
All the ins and the ouse. It's the bizz with
business fiber, take your business productivity to the next level.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Right, psychobabble time you're ready for some psycho babbel from
the workplace, This is Seek Seek I would have expected
better from you. Come on, stop putting out the press
releases if you've got no hard data. I'm a hard
data man. Don't give me the psycho babbel. What skills
are required currently in the workplace, they ask us this morning, Well,
the hot skills are human skills. The human skills. So
(14:57):
number ten project management fair enough, I understand project management.
You manage a project, am I right? And then I
think I've got that one right. Nine One of the
skills you need is investigation. I mean, sure, if you repay,
I get that part. But what else are you investigating?
Team leadership? I mean that's just BS. And you know
it is seven as a skill analysis? How do you
decipher that? When you're interviewing somebody, You're looking at their CV,
(15:20):
and I wonder if they're good at analysis? Cleaning This
is something that enz me is not particularly good at
and would do well to employing more people with cleaning skills.
They hide you, Yeah, exactly, Well, I mean I make
up for at least thirty seven other losers who can't
be bothered pulling out a vacuum. I'm looking at the
twelve to what do they do twelve to three, twelve
to twelve to four over that afternoon shambles.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is unless they're on jury duty.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, well, that's well, it's funny that it's funny the
one who's on jury duty. Noticeable difference in the studio
this week joined some dots relationship management. See I'm not
very good at that, am I. I mean, clearly everyone
hates me around here for obvious reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You actually have to have a relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Credit being able to use Microsoft Office cause skill. That's
number four if you can believe that. Three relationship building.
That's why they hired me to leadership. I don't even
know what that means. One customer service, Well, you're going
to have some customers, don't you. I mean, so all
of that's just complete enough of.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Hey, there was great analysis there, Mike.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you think it was? I didn't think it was.
It was just reading out a list of ten, which,
by the way, Sam, we're not supposed to be doing
because Katie said it's boring radio. See, I'm surrounded by it.
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
But weird that he doesn't think they're either analysis or
leadership of things.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Here is weird. A.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I think we've conclusively proved there after at nearly seventeen
minutes podcasting there, So yeah, I don't have any of
those skills. So I'm screwed, which is why I'm just
going to try and keep my head down. I hope
that nobody notices me and I'll still have a job here.

forgive them that because it grows tourism. There is a
direct connection between food and tourism. Food tourism is a thing.
And if you can go to a place, and I've
done it, I've gone to places knowing that I will
(06:00):
go to a Michelin Star restaurant when I get there,
So that's tangible and it is real and the best
meal that I literally where It's not just the meal,
that's the experience, and that's where Michelin stars come from.
The best meal I've ever had in my life was
at a Michelin Star restaurant. What I worry about and
what wasn't asked yesterday as usual in the coverage, was
(06:21):
are they just handing out Michelin Stars because they're suddenly here?
Or does the international standard apply? In other words, that
they come here and no one warrants a standard or
a star. They don't get one or a suddenly next
to you when they start handing them out. We're going
to be festooned with one star Michelin Star restaurant that
really don't deserve it. Last when I went to was
in Singapore. It was a one star, but it was
(06:43):
a young char place. Now, you can't tell me that
yum char restaurants deserve Michelin star. This was a good
yum Char but it didn't. And so it's got a
bit of that about it. So it'll be interesting to
see where it go.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I've certainly never been to a Michelin Star restaurant that
I know of. I'm not sure that I've actually been
to many places they have them, to be fair like,
I don't think are there any in Raratonga for example,
the rewrap anyway, I'll leave it up to our resident expert.
It sounds like he's been to just about all of them.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So the Michelin Star restaurant, right, what's good about the
Michelin Star coming to New Zealand is the greater The
greatest meal of my life was at a three star
michel In restaurant. One stars. They're they're they're they're good restaurants,
but they're no big deal. Two star. There's not many
two stars around because it's that weird thing between one
and three. What you want to do is go to
a three star michel and I will be personally astonished,
(07:35):
unless it's sort of semi corrupt. If we get a
three star michial in this country, we don't have good
enough restaurant. Sorry to say it, but it's true. The
greatest restaurant I Mealaba went to was a place called
The Cast which is at the Dorchester Hotel in London.
And my point being this is most people can afford
the finest meal in the world. Most people can't afford
(07:58):
the best bottle of wine in the world. Are the
best car in the world, the best house in the world,
the best most things in the world, but you can
afford most people can afford the best meal in the world.
And the best meal in the world I ever had
was at the door at the Diecass restaurant. It was
eighty bucks eighty bucks ahead two times two, one hundred
and sixty bucks, one hundred and second pounds one hundred
and sixty pounds for the finest meal in the world.
(08:21):
That's for most people on a special occasion. Pretty affordable question.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yes, did the fact that you knew that it was
a good question?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yes? And no, can't help it you go to a
special place. But one of the worst meals I had
was also at a three star Michelin restaurant, which was
also the Dicast restaurant, but this time in Paris, and
it was our fault because we misunderstood what they were about,
and what they're about were crustaceans, and they were about
crustaceans to save the earth. They had a theme, and
we didn't know any of this when we went in,
so they just brought this food out. That was first
(08:53):
of all, we couldn't read the menu because it was
in French. But that's our fault, not theirs, and they
certainly weren't translating it to English because they're French. So anyway,
they kept bringing this food out that was disgusting. But
there was disgusting because we don't eat that food. But
we didn't know that anyway. Prawns, No, they didn't have prawns.
If they had prawns, Glenn, that would have been brilliant.
If they had prawn, scallops, muscles, anything that I recognized,
(09:15):
I would have been happy. But they had stuff from
the depths of the ocean that you've never heard from before.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
One of those fish with the lenten in front of
its mouth.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yep, and presented with head on. The whole thing. It
was just a complete and utter, utter disaster. Anyway, So
that's the baby of Michelin stars.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I think actually I would prefer to not know.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And then get to the end of the me I go, yeah,
that was a good meal, and only later when I
tell people about this cool restaurant that I went to,
they gon't, yeah, you know, that's got like two Michelin stars.
Ah that because it's like with the wine. I feel
sometimes the wine tastes better because you know how expensive
(09:55):
it is.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Just don't tell me. I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's the rewrap.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
And then bizarrely this led to a story about how
Mike washes his car. If you spend more on washing
your car, does your car look better after it's been washed.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, this is a stupid story, but I'm going to
tell it anyway because it's Friday. So I bought. I
was down at Ripco a couple of weeks ago. But
it's just the mcguires thing triggered me. So I was
down at Ripco and I bought the McGuire's you know
whatever you call it, cowsh So I bought that, and
that's fine. So I'm just and this was a big
new Repco and the just the choice, and you know,
(10:29):
it's like when you're in Ripco, you just see that
and then you see the other thing. It's like being
in a supermarket the biscuit aile. Anyway, so I saw
this pink stuff and I grabbed it, and I was
just looking at the different brands. I always like to
check out what the brands are, how much they cost,
what they're claiming to do. This is for my snow cannon.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I was going to say, is this for the cannon?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
This is for the snow cannon, So I use occasionally
on the snow cannon, just regular car wash, regular every
day car wash. Now, the purists will tell you there's
a specific snow cannon product which I saw on the
on the shelf, and I thought, oh yeah. I looked
at the price. So a standard bottle of McGuire's is
about thirty bucks ish thirty three four five something like that.
(11:09):
The special product was one hundred and ten dollars for
a liter. One hundred and ten dollars for a liter
of special car wash. Now what do you think I did?
Did I buy a course? I bought him. So then
the next thing was and I bought it not because
I'm a pratt. I am a pratt, but I bought
it also because what I'm going to do is I'm
going to see whether I can justify one hundred and
(11:30):
ten dollars for a letter of this source on the
snow cannon. So the other weekend I used it for
the I had to use up all my other stuff
before I got to this, because I got nervous about
spending that amount of money. And then I thought this
better be good. And then I thought, how can it
be good? How can I just some sauce in a bottle,
sprayed onto a car in any way, shape or form,
(11:50):
end up with me going bloody hell, that was worth
it anyway. So I put it in and I sprayed
it on. Bloody hell, it was worth it. It was unbelievable
in what way. Well, that's what I'm coming to, glenncause
that's what how stories were.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
There are people in cars, I know, for work because
they're waiting to to the point for.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
All the people who have been ringing and texting and stuff.
I do apologize, I've taken a bit of time to
get here, but anyway, so I sprayed it on. So
what you do with the snow can is you with
a water blaster rinse and then you spray the snowfoam
on and then you leave it for a minute, two minutes, whatever.
Then you just rinse it off. Your car's done. You
dry it obviously afterwards, but apart from that's done anyway.
(12:36):
I don't know how. I don't know how it works.
But in spraying it on, it looked different in the substance,
clinged tighter to the car. It looked like it was
clinging on more So, if you put soap on something,
it just sort of slides off. This didn't slide.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
This is the one with more clan power.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, this has got cling power. It didn't say cling
power on the bottle. I would, if I was in
the advertising industry, say that more cling power. Anyway, it
clings on to your car and you think, oh, it's clinging.
That'll be interesting. I wonder if that is reflected in
the shine of the car. My word, is it? Ever
then you rinse it off, and the look of the
car it looks showroom new. I swear to god, this
(13:15):
isn't ad. By the way. I've got nothing to do
with Maguire's. It looks showroom new, not just clean, not
just oh yeah, I did a good job on my car.
That looks quite good. This looks brands new. This looks
showroom clean. This looks gob smackingly impressive. Therefore, I would
defend one hundred and ten dollars for a liter, and
(13:36):
not only that, I will be back.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So better than a bottle of Sunlight fish washing liquid.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Then about fifty times better. Just It's like going to
a Michelin Star restaurant and spending more money than you
ever have on a meal, but coming away going you know, what.
I may not be back again, but that was worth
every cent. It's about the memes, folks. It's how Mike
sees it.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
That time you wash your car and it ended up
looking really good? Is that really a meme worth meming?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I feel like it.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No. Sooner do I wash my car, Then it rains
on it and it looks the same as it did
before I washed it again. I think Mike has stead
of wet weather cars and dry weather cars to get
around that situation.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It's a rewrap, right.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I know the podcast would normally be long finished by now,
but I thought that this was worth putting in as well.
This last bit of news you can use for the day.
The skills you're going to need to get your next job.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
All the ins and the ouse. It's the bizz with
business fiber, take your business productivity to the next level.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Right, psychobabble time you're ready for some psycho babbel from
the workplace, This is Seek Seek I would have expected
better from you. Come on, stop putting out the press
releases if you've got no hard data. I'm a hard
data man. Don't give me the psycho babbel. What skills
are required currently in the workplace, they ask us this morning, Well,
the hot skills are human skills. The human skills. So
(14:57):
number ten project management fair enough, I understand project management.
You manage a project, am I right? And then I
think I've got that one right. Nine One of the
skills you need is investigation. I mean, sure, if you repay,
I get that part. But what else are you investigating?
Team leadership? I mean that's just BS. And you know
it is seven as a skill analysis? How do you
decipher that? When you're interviewing somebody, You're looking at their CV,
(15:20):
and I wonder if they're good at analysis? Cleaning This
is something that enz me is not particularly good at
and would do well to employing more people with cleaning skills.
They hide you, Yeah, exactly, Well, I mean I make
up for at least thirty seven other losers who can't
be bothered pulling out a vacuum. I'm looking at the
twelve to what do they do twelve to three, twelve
to twelve to four over that afternoon shambles.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Is unless they're on jury duty.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, well, that's well, it's funny that it's funny the
one who's on jury duty. Noticeable difference in the studio
this week joined some dots relationship management. See I'm not
very good at that, am I. I mean, clearly everyone
hates me around here for obvious reasons.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You actually have to have a relationship.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Credit being able to use Microsoft Office cause skill. That's
number four if you can believe that. Three relationship building.
That's why they hired me to leadership. I don't even
know what that means. One customer service, Well, you're going
to have some customers, don't you. I mean, so all
of that's just complete enough of.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Hey, there was great analysis there, Mike.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Do you think it was? I didn't think it was.
It was just reading out a list of ten, which,
by the way, Sam, we're not supposed to be doing
because Katie said it's boring radio. See, I'm surrounded by it.
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
But weird that he doesn't think they're either analysis or
leadership of things.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Here is weird. A.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I think we've conclusively proved there after at nearly seventeen
minutes podcasting there, So yeah, I don't have any of
those skills. So I'm screwed, which is why I'm just
going to try and keep my head down. I hope
that nobody notices me and I'll still have a job here.
