You're listening to a podcast from News Talk SED be
follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
The Rerap and welcome to the re Rap for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the best but's from the Mike Hosking Breakfast on
News Talks. He'd be at a Sillia package. I'm Glenn
Hart and well she was a loosehold show today, Mike
Hoskins final show for the year. The Mike Hosking Breakfast
continues sort of like an echo in a canyon, if
you like, for another couple of weeks. So we'll be
back on Monday with Heather. But before any of that
(00:48):
will mark the week, because it's still Friday and that
is still what we do. The Prime Minister came in
to get his Christmas present from Mike and to give
Mike a few But before any of that, Mike really
got off. We got off to a jolly old start
this morning. You know, a really festive feel to this
opening cell.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
First of seasoned Christmas of twenty five. The New Zealand
retail experience, as summed up by a frustrated Catherine Hawksby
as of yesterday, so half a dozen shops visited one
she reports was decent. The rest were useless, useless for
a variety of reasons, but the common theme service or
lack of it. How is it possible, continually possible, that
(01:29):
we have one a sector crying out for supporting, yet
so unable to offer something worth spending money on, and
two a country with a lot of people allegedly happy
to go find a job, and yet the people with
the jobs are so fantastically incompetent. We all know the story.
The story is not unique to Caty yesterday, on the
early burst of Christmas shopping, retail tragically is filled with hopelessness,
lack of stock, lack of desire, lack of professionalism. Which
(01:52):
is why the good ones are so welcome, and why
I've been able to tell you many times over this
past year. I can name you a decent number of
operators in a variety of fields that have weathered these
past few years with no real issues at all. They
are good at what they do, they want to do well,
word of mouth and reputation travels far and fast, and
they are fine, thank you very much. Yesterday's highlight was
(02:13):
a liquor shop, a large one part of a chain,
a chain you will know the woman behind the counter, slovenly,
full of tattoos on the phone, no interest in service
or acknowledging a customer when asked because she did not
offer any help. She didn't, as it turns out, know
what prosecco was. How can you work in a shop
that sells nothing but wine and spirits and not know
what prosecco is or where in the shop? Indeed you
(02:35):
will find it. Who employed her? And why? And why
was there no training? This is a big brand to remember,
a brand I would have thought would be interested in
reputation and a decent customer experience. How does a person
with clearly no knowledge or interest in the thing they
are selling actually get work? And are you telling me
the people who can't get work are even worse than that?
The resentment Kate fumed is based on the idea that
(02:58):
we all work hard for the dollars. Handing them over
would be easier and nicer and more fulfilling if you
thought the recipient, just for a moment, was even slightly great.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yes, ho ho, bloody ho, come crutchety old Ebeniza hoskeig.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
There don't worry. I think things sort of improved a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
As the show went on, I take more credit, of course,
it's the rewrap before thank instead approved though, Oh we
have Betty have listens climbing on in on the band
Customer service Bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Mike, have just had the most amazing experience while shopping
and Havelock North and Nape. You're courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.
Loved it. Can't argue with that, Mike. Thank you for
such an excellent show you make Morning radio with listening
to you. Very kind to say that, Mike. We've noticed
an increase an activity over the last month. We are
tendering again and feeling confident things are looking up for
the construction sector next time, for this time next year,
and to hire staff before they're all gone, Craig. Good
(03:53):
to hear that message, Mike. Merry Christmas. The crossing how
wrong a last weekend. Every store we went to for Christmas,
my daughter and I were served immediately, happy, chatty staff
assisted in upgrades, except for Pandora. I don't know what
happened at Pandora. I noticed staff who were engaging with
customers and not on their phones. With the busy shops
band phones well and don't need to band stuff just
(04:13):
I mean, it's not It's been my sort of message
you you don't have to It's not hard to be good.
It's like if you go, if you turn up to work,
it's not really hard to concentrate, to do well, to
be professional, to want to be better. How hard can
it be?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
This coming from the guy who this morning called one
of our marquee sponsors, Chemi's Warehouse the Christmas Warehouse, not
once but twice in their ad lib. So you know,
pretty professional rewrap. But we no matter what's going on,
we will always map the week on Fridays because that
(04:48):
is what we do.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Time now to mark the week. The little piece of
news and current airs that has successfully snuck under the
elbow media band bar consumers seven confidence at a six
month high. Our business New Zealand six another to come
to the party with a solid economic forecast for the
next couple of years. The turnaround, they say, is real.
So green shoots, green shoots, green shoots are vaping six
(05:10):
could could we have turned the corner there as well?
Numbers down this week are no longer cool. Apparently, school
lunch is three. That is the stupidest story of the week.
Four days it lasted. We've become myopic. We fixate on triviality.
It's got a small villagitiate vibe to it. Don't you
reckon the CRL three. I mean honestly, if delays and
(05:30):
blowouts were progressed, we would have built an open three
of them by now. Are the aforementioned social media band
six mainly for effort because it's not real, it's not practical.
It's got idea that's am all over it a scrutiny.
Week six. I mean, I remember two years ago it
produced some gold, but now just looks a little bit
like an exercise. Still a decent idea, don't give me wrong,
just likes fizz. These days are the A three twenty
(05:51):
two between the software and the harder bits. How's it
so hard to build a plane? And will where building
a plane is supposed to have gotten easier these days?
Bank of England six AI warning two point zero when
it pops and it will remember where you heard it first?
Are the wholesale interest rates three follow this because post
the last week interest rates are on the up. They
are second guessing Hawksby's last day and we're all paying
(06:13):
for it. Are the Rugby World Cup six. We are
the only team. Do you realize this? We're the only
team in a group with more than one good side.
That's if you count Australia, who's a good site of course.
Pete Hickseth three.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
We've only just begun striking Narco boats.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Between the Narco boats and the signal report, I mean,
what odds you're running that he doesn't make Christmas rates?
Cap seven? Move the week from the central government. If
local government just stopped whining for a moment and ask
themselves who the architects of the mess actually are and
why they might not have as much to moan about.
And that is the week copies on the website and
marking the week when cut and colored into cool shapes,
(06:49):
is adorning at least sixteen Christmas trees all over the nation.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yes, it's cheaper than three thousand dollars four balls from
Valentine's a christ Yes, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's a rewrap right, it was a very Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
He sort of a show today, even though some of
us are still here for another three weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, that I better. Yeah, the Prime Minister came in.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
He was really only just stopped short of dressing up the.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Center now listen to this. This is why we've given you.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
K We sat down. I think we had dinner on
our on our laps, and I think we started watching.
There was some Netflix show we started getting into.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Stop eating dinner on your knee. It's not healthy. So
eating dinner on your knee was the.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Watching TV shows and trying to eat it. This is unique.
It's a one off. Seriously, well it's two things. But
you wrapped this so I heard this vicious rumor?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Or did you just technically no, technically no, I did
a social media thing that I sort of pretended to
wrap unwrapped that, and I think I'm pretty confident. Actually,
I think you're gonna love this.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Ah, look at this. Oh this is amazing.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
They came from Britain.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Funnily enough, it was looking good until I took us out. Okay, viewers,
so what listeners. So what we've got is, you know,
like on those informercial ads, you put those what are
they sort of like meal trays? But yeah, and it
was looking really good. It's got lovely wood surrounds. But
then Amanda and I are now going to have the
(08:28):
the the great pleasure of looking at at the wonderful
face of Mike hosking on top of our of our
how good?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
All I ask of you is next wistful photo is?
It's it's ponderous and thoughtful. It's the question I'm asking
you with my eyes is do you really think you
win the election next year?
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I'll hell you don't. You're worried about that.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
All I ask of you when you're sitting with that
on your lap looking at.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Me, I'm going to send your photo is not not.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
To spill your food.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Oh yeah, because I'm terrible to get a bit of
a dribble on the great man.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Anyway. More rightly, what have you got for me?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Here?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
We going right?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I want you?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Is that a copy of the treaty?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
One?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Okay? Fantastic beautiful beautiful bag? By the way, is this handcuffs?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
What do you think a muzzle?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I telling you for you? Kate?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Oh my lord? What?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yeah? What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It looks?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
What do you think you do with it?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Where did you get this from?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And what is it?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Well? Well, what do you think it is?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Well?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
It's made of rubber. Yeah, and it's black, it's black rubber. Yeah,
and you would strap it on? Yeah, would you strap
it on? So so listen, as you know, if you
go on hosting social media, you basically see him doing
a couple of things. One as he sits at a
TV and just curses at it, which is usually his
abuse of the warriors or someone.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
The second thing he does is he then goes wandering
around this great ponderosa in a state he owns half
of Northland or something apparently, and he goes out checking
the estate and making sure it's all good. So put
that around your neck it's on. Yeah, okay, right, so.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Or there's something to attach that I want you to
open this. You have no one, You have no idea
how nervous I was about that because I was going
to I thought you were going to ask me to
put something else.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
And yeah, I could see you a bit anxious there,
You're a bit worried.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You here we go? This is too good?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Oh no way, Now I want to say, wad no
go the other way? Yeah? Yes, yep. So yes, what
we've got here team is that yesterday you might have
heard I went to Ikea because apparently he was on
c and I was the first person in the country
to make a physical purchase in the store at Ikea,
and I bought Mike. Yeah, I bought him to two
(10:53):
wine glasses. And what he's got is a wine glass lanyard.
Because as he ponders his estate and looks at his
over oversees all his lands and stuff, him and Kate
go wandering around in the often never a glass of
wine in your hand. I've noticed. And as you've got older,
I don't want you to trip in four, you know,
because I could to be a real problem, right, I
don't think it's really good. So we've got two of
those for you. So that's what that is, ok.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeap who doesn't want to ask the Prime Minister if
he would strap it on.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
For Christmas?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You don't hear that on every breakfast radio show no
matter what time of you they'll learn at Christmas the
re wrap.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So yeah, just to avoid any confusion.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
After already pissing off Chemist's Warehouse for calling them Christmas Warehouse,
we we really had to straighten things out for our
Kia as well, because I'm pretty sure they don't sell
ball gigs.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Maybe they do, I mean they are Swedish.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Clarification on the Prime Minister's prison. Already I knew this
was killing the The rubber gift is not from Ikea.
They don't sell rubber gifts.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Is it rubber? It looked like leather from here.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's leather and rubber glint.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's both the rubber and buckles.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Don't make it to en. Buckles don't make it dirty anyway.
The glos I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Still not convinced that it isn't and it's just been repurposed.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You reckon, You just called it something that it wasn't anyway.
So the glasses are from Ikea. The cost of our
gift to the Prime Minister I will be revealing after
eight o'clock this morning. They've kept it from me for
it was mainly legal, wasn't it? Was it administrative or legal?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I bet have to be declared on the pecuniary interest it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Certainly we've got to declare it somewhere because the money
involved for what we got. And do look at if
you haven't seen the video of it, you do look
at it later. It's actually I actually think it's like
a great idea and a really good gift, and I
think it's the sort of thing that he and Amanda
will use on a pretty constant regular basis. But the
cost of getting it done and making it is just
(12:49):
it's everything that's wrong with the world. It's the cost
of living crisis. There's been a cost of living crisis
in our gift giving this this this year.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's all right.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm waiting for a package from Australia which contains some
things that I'm reviewing for the new tooks he'd be website,
and it's held up at customs. This periodically happens to
me because they want somebody to pay some duty on it,
even though it hasn't been sold. It has no value
because it won't be sold. It's literally just things for
(13:23):
me to assess and review, and for some reason that
occurs some kind of duty when it comes through customs.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Not that I'm better.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
We started a bit better and I ented a bit better.
I'm sorry about that. But remember this isn't my last day.
It's only Mike. So I'll be here on Monday, and
if you will, I'll see you then too.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
For more from news Talks that'd be listen live on
air or online and keep our shows with you wherever
you go with our podcasts on iHeartRadio.
You're listening to a podcast from News Talk SED be

The Rerap and welcome to the re Rap for Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All the best but's from the Mike Hosking Breakfast on
News Talks. He'd be at a Sillia package. I'm Glenn
Hart and well she was a loosehold show today, Mike
Hoskins final show for the year. The Mike Hosking Breakfast
continues sort of like an echo in a canyon, if
you like, for another couple of weeks. So we'll be
back on Monday with Heather. But before any of that
(00:48):
will mark the week, because it's still Friday and that
is still what we do. The Prime Minister came in
to get his Christmas present from Mike and to give
Mike a few But before any of that, Mike really
got off. We got off to a jolly old start
this morning. You know, a really festive feel to this

are good at what they do, they want to do well,

they are fine, thank you very much. Yesterday's highlight was

a chain you will know the woman behind the counter, slovenly,

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yes, ho ho, bloody ho, come crutchety old Ebeniza hoskeig.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
There don't worry. I think things sort of improved a
little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
As the show went on, I take more credit, of course,
it's the rewrap before thank instead approved though, Oh we
have Betty have listens climbing on in on the band
Customer service Bandwagon.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Mike, have just had the most amazing experience while shopping
and Havelock North and Nape. You're courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.
Loved it. Can't argue with that, Mike. Thank you for
such an excellent show you make Morning radio with listening
to you. Very kind to say that, Mike. We've noticed
an increase an activity over the last month. We are
tendering again and feeling confident things are looking up for
the construction sector next time, for this time next year,
and to hire staff before they're all gone, Craig. Good
(03:53):
to hear that message, Mike. Merry Christmas. The crossing how
wrong a last weekend. Every store we went to for Christmas,
my daughter and I were served immediately, happy, chatty staff
assisted in upgrades, except for Pandora. I don't know what
happened at Pandora. I noticed staff who were engaging with

band phones well and don't need to band stuff just
(04:13):
I mean, it's not It's been my sort of message
you you don't have to It's not hard to be good.
It's like if you go, if you turn up to work,
it's not really hard to concentrate, to do well, to
be professional, to want to be better. How hard can
it be?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
This coming from the guy who this morning called one
of our marquee sponsors, Chemi's Warehouse the Christmas Warehouse, not
once but twice in their ad lib. So you know,
pretty professional rewrap. But we no matter what's going on,
we will always map the week on Fridays because that

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Anyway. More rightly, what have you got for me?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Here?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
We going right?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I want you?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Is that a copy of the treaty?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
One?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Okay? Fantastic beautiful beautiful bag? By the way, is this handcuffs?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
All right?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
What do you think a muzzle?
Speaker 5 (09:22):
I telling you for you? Kate?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Oh my lord? What?
Speaker 4 (09:25):
What?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yeah? What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It looks?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
What does it look like?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Mike?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I don't like.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
What do you think you do with it?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Where did you get this from?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
And what is it?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Well? Well, what do you think it is?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Well?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
It's made of rubber. Yeah, and it's black, it's black rubber. Yeah,
and you would strap it on? Yeah, would you strap
it on? So so listen, as you know, if you
go on hosting social media, you basically see him doing
a couple of things. One as he sits at a
TV and just curses at it, which is usually his
abuse of the warriors or someone.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
The second thing he does is he then goes wandering
around this great ponderosa in a state he owns half
of Northland or something apparently, and he goes out checking
the estate and making sure it's all good. So put
that around your neck it's on. Yeah, okay, right, so.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Or there's something to attach that I want you to
open this. You have no one, You have no idea
how nervous I was about that because I was going
to I thought you were going to ask me to
put something else.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
And yeah, I could see you a bit anxious there,
You're a bit worried.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
You here we go? This is too good?
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Oh no way, Now I want to say, wad no
go the other way? Yeah? Yes, yep. So yes, what
we've got here team is that yesterday you might have
heard I went to Ikea because apparently he was on
c and I was the first person in the country
to make a physical purchase in the store at Ikea,
and I bought Mike. Yeah, I bought him to two
(10:53):
wine glasses. And what he's got is a wine glass lanyard.
Because as he ponders his estate and looks at his
over oversees all his lands and stuff, him and Kate
go wandering around in the often never a glass of
wine in your hand. I've noticed. And as you've got older,
I don't want you to trip in four, you know,
because I could to be a real problem, right, I
don't think it's really good. So we've got two of
those for you. So that's what that is, ok.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeap who doesn't want to ask the Prime Minister if
he would strap it on.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
For Christmas?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You don't hear that on every breakfast radio show no
matter what time of you they'll learn at Christmas the
re wrap.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
So yeah, just to avoid any confusion.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
After already pissing off Chemist's Warehouse for calling them Christmas Warehouse,
we we really had to straighten things out for our
Kia as well, because I'm pretty sure they don't sell
ball gigs.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Maybe they do, I mean they are Swedish.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Clarification on the Prime Minister's prison. Already I knew this
was killing the The rubber gift is not from Ikea.
They don't sell rubber gifts.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Is it rubber? It looked like leather from here.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's leather and rubber glint.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's both the rubber and buckles.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Don't make it to en. Buckles don't make it dirty anyway.
The glos I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Still not convinced that it isn't and it's just been repurposed.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
You reckon, You just called it something that it wasn't anyway.
So the glasses are from Ikea. The cost of our
gift to the Prime Minister I will be revealing after
eight o'clock this morning. They've kept it from me for
it was mainly legal, wasn't it? Was it administrative or legal?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I bet have to be declared on the pecuniary interest it.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Certainly we've got to declare it somewhere because the money
involved for what we got. And do look at if
you haven't seen the video of it, you do look
at it later. It's actually I actually think it's like
a great idea and a really good gift, and I
think it's the sort of thing that he and Amanda
will use on a pretty constant regular basis. But the
cost of getting it done and making it is just
(12:49):
it's everything that's wrong with the world. It's the cost
of living crisis. There's been a cost of living crisis
in our gift giving this this this year.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's all right.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I'm waiting for a package from Australia which contains some
things that I'm reviewing for the new tooks he'd be website,
and it's held up at customs. This periodically happens to
me because they want somebody to pay some duty on it,
even though it hasn't been sold. It has no value
because it won't be sold. It's literally just things for
(13:23):
me to assess and review, and for some reason that
occurs some kind of duty when it comes through customs.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Not that I'm better.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
We started a bit better and I ented a bit better.
I'm sorry about that. But remember this isn't my last day.
It's only Mike. So I'll be here on Monday, and
if you will, I'll see you then too.

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.
