Speaker 2 (00:25):
Rewrap Oday there and welcome to the Rewrap for Thursday.
All the best but's from the Mi Costing Breakfast on
Newstalk SIDB and a Sillier package. I am Glen Heart
and today with the B and Z six toy loan.
So it wasn't alone for six toys. It was a
loan for a six toy shop, so I shouldn't really
call it the six toy loan. I mean, how expensive
(00:46):
are the six toys is you've got to get a
loan to buy them? Anyway, We're going to get right
into that shortly. Saudi Arabia is going to be hosting
the World Cup in ten years time, so that's the
end of the world apparently. And the price of coffee
I've got an update on that for you before any
of that. The price of a cook straight ferry, the
(01:07):
really we're still quite unclear on exactly what that price is.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Well, I think we can all see now why the
governments announced the fairy decision two weeks before Christmas. A
This is embarrassing, isn't it? I mean, what have they
been doing for the last year. How do you go
a year from canceling the Mega Fairies and still have
nothing to show for it. No deal, no fairies, no
price tag, not even any detail for us on how
much we're going to have to pay to break the
deal on the Mega Fairies. All we've got is rumors.
(01:33):
And if those rumors are right, then we are going
to spend more than twice what we were going to
spend for those two megafiries. We're going to spend more
than twice on that to buy two smaller fairies. Those
Mega Fairies were five hundred and fifty million bucks. The
medium sized feries that we're probably going to end up
with now will apparently cost nine hundred million bucks plus.
And you add the three hundred million dollar break fee
for the Mega Fairies, and that's one point two billion
(01:55):
dollars more than double. We'd have been better off on
these numbers, keeping the big boys and then on selling
them and using them to buy the using the money
to buy the little ones. Don't expect we waited a
year already. Don't expect to get any kind of announcement
any time soon, because it's not going to be apparently
until the second half of next year before we actually
know what's happening, and we're going to have to wait
(02:15):
five years for these bad boys to actually hit the water.
And the thing about this is that time is of
the essence, because it's not as if our existing fairies
are doing well. They're running on hopes and prayers and
masking tape. By the looks of things. We've had one
floating without power in the cook straight already. That's very dangerous.
And we've had another one running around on a sandy
beach and you don't need me to tell you again
that's very dangerous. And then there are various other weird
(02:36):
little mishaps have been going on as well. Now. To
be fair to the National led government, I don't think
that the Mega Fairies worth a solution. I don't think
it's a smart idea to chuck an entire train on
a boat and then send it across the water. I mean,
if you thought about how heavi a train is. But
I'm starting to feel like this deal, whatever it is,
could be actually worse than the Mega Fairies deal. And
I'm starting to think that this might make the Mega
(02:58):
Fairies deal look like value for money, and that is
not a great outcome, by the way, especially for the
Nats and nikoliwillis because the pair of them have told
us they're great at striking deals, they really great at
managing money. Well, what we're seeing so far does not
look like that at all.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
This has been appallingly handled. And I don't know. There
said to be too many cocks spoiling this particular broth
just to get across fifteen k's of ocean on a
regular basis, Ah, can it be? It's the rewrap right,
sex toy talk or bank blowing talk. A bit of
(03:36):
a difference between the two, you would think, but sometimes
they're connected.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
So if you've been listening this week, you'll know we've
been talking about the banks a fair bit because the
banks have been busted being the old moral police, self appointed,
haven't they of late now, one of the things that
we were talking about was the fact that the BE
and Z has decided not to open accounts for a
couple of ladies who are running a business. And the
reason they're not going to open accounts for a couple
of ladies running a business is because these particular ladies
(04:00):
run a sex toy shop. And apparently the B and
z's got a massive problem with that.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The B and Z went before the Banking Inquiry, the
Select Committee yesterday, as all the banks and major banks
are doing, and it was their turn yesterday and they
admitted this is the CEO admitted that it was the
wrong thing to do to refuse these ladies' accounts. It
blamed the computers, so it was the computer's problem. Said,
we've got an automated process, this is online processes to
make it simple and easy to onboard customers and sometimes
(04:27):
we need to have a bigger conversation with them. But
in that case we didn't get it right. And sometimes
we don't get it right now, I mean whatever, Blame
the computers if you want to, but the computers are
set up to say no to the sex toy businesses anyway. Anyway,
because of all the publicity, BNZ is now ashamed of
itself and it's been in touch with the girls to
try to fix the situation and open accounts for the girls.
The trouble is everybody else has been in touch with
(04:48):
the girls as well, haven't they. So west PAC's been
in touch, A and Z's been in touch, and the
girls by the likely of other looks of things quite
like the look of Westpac, So I think they're going
to go with Westpac on this. So BNZ has completely
lost that one. So don't be going to be in
Z by the looks of things. If you're running anything
with the word is ex in your business.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I totally believe the computer, which excuse because who knows
what kinds of filters and things they've got. You know,
you start looking at six toys on your work computer,
even though it's because somebody wants a loan to sell them,
and you're probably going to accidentally access a whole lot
(05:27):
of stuff, and then your computer gets seized and you
get into trouble and the loan doesn't get aproved. I
can see how that works. We then went on to
they don't need to be backing down on this whole
not giving out our money for petrol stations though, because
apparently none of us are going to be using petrol
in about six years time, which is a bit alarming
(05:47):
to me because I'm just about to buy a car
which does run on petrol. I mean, I think it's
a hybrid, but I think it will still need some
petrol rerap I'm assuming Saudia Arabia hopes that the Beans
is wrong about that for a little while longer as well,
so they can afford to build these crazy football stadiums.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
As expected, Saudi Arabia has been announced as the hosts
of the twenty thirty four FIFA of Football World Cup.
Not at all a surprise. Everybody knew this was going
to happen. Critics are already they were getting ready to
lose their minds, and they are losing their minds. They're
accusing FIFA of sealing perhaps the most craven sellout in
the history of sport. They're angry because FIFA signed up
(06:27):
a country that's accused of killing the Washington Post journalist
Kamal Jamal Kashoggi, of treating its women terribly, not even
being known as a nation for football, et cetera, et cetera.
You know, the usual stuff that you would throw at
a country like Saudi Arabia. And FIFA is not making
this any better for itself because it's behaving like it's
actually wildly embarrassed by the decision that it's just taken
(06:47):
because it announced the decision but nothing else. Will not
take any questions on it. No press conference, no explanation
for the how they came to make this call, and
basically that's it. We just have to take the news now.
Despite all of this, I am actually okay with this
decision because personally, if there's one thing that the Hucka
and the All Blacks told me a few weeks ago,
(07:08):
I really do prefer my sport to be completely devoid
of politics. I don't know about you, but I feel
like there is enough tension and friction in everyday life,
especially at the moment right with an increasingly polarized Western world.
I just want to break sometimes. I want to sit
down to watch a game of footy, whatever kind of
footy i'm watching. I just want to break from politics.
And this would be a break from politics. It's got
nothing to do with it right now. I'm not saying
(07:29):
that hosting this event in Saudi Arabia will necessarily be
a success, because if the example of Katar a couple
of years ago is anything to go by, might not
be right. The fans found out at the last minute
they couldn't drink the beers in the stadium. Hardly any
fans actually turned up on the numbers that we were expecting,
so it might be a complete bomb. So maybe the
decision in the end is a bad decision, but not
for political reasons. Political reasons. I'm increasingly of the view
(07:52):
politics should not factor in sports decisions like this at all.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah, human rights, are they political or are they just rights? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
One Isn't it still rewrap?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But anyway, as I was saying, for though, some of
these stadiums do look pretty.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Saudi Arabia you'll have been seen, you'll have seen, has
been announced today as the host of the twenty thirty
four feet for World Cup, and woohoo. People are gonna
lose their minds about it, aren't they Because it's Saudi Arabia,
and it's Saudi Arabia very bad people. Anyway, you want
to see we'll get to that because we're gonna talk
about that at some stage. But you want to see
the stadia that these guys are building for the World Cup.
(08:31):
They've only built I think four of them already. They're
gonna have fifteen in total, and it is mad stuff, right,
So one of them, I'm gonna give you some of
the maddest ones in red in the Capitol, where eight
of them are gonna be. They've got the King Salman
International Stadium that they're gonna build, and the idea here
is that the arena blends in seamlessly with the mountainous environment.
(08:51):
It basically looks like a button popping out of the ground.
So you've got all the like, got all the kind
of foliage and strips of forestry and stuff like that,
and then whip up. It goes over the top of
the stadium. So she'll be walking up to basically what
just looks like a little hobbit hole, like a little
lump in the ground. It's not a hobbit hole. It
can hold tens of thousands of people. Madness rating on
that one would be an eight out of ten. There's
(09:14):
another one that's going to be somewhere nearby as well.
It's called the King for Hard Sports City Stadium. It's
basically a massive tent. It's got like about twenty four masts.
Each of them goes up fifty eight meters high. Just
looks like a CNM and E or something like that.
Madness rating is a bit lower on that, that's a six.
The Prince Muhammad Bin Salman Stadium that they're going to
build capacity forty seven thousand, completely mental, perched on the
(09:38):
side of a cliff two hundred meters above the ground.
I think the one side is kind of hanging over
the side of the cliffs. I don't know how you're
gonna feel about that sitting in that. That's a madness
rating of eight out of ten. There's the one called
the Russian Stadium, which looks like a crunchy bar that's
been Oh and actually that one's made entirely of a
keesha bark I think. Then there is another one that
looks entirely like a crunchy bar that's been dropped. It's
(10:00):
completely mad. But the maddest of all of them, I
think is I don't know if you've been keeping an
eye on what's going on with Saudi Arabia and that
big city that they're building, which is just a line
in the desert. They're putting a stadium there. So if
you've been like, oh, I'd like to go and have
a look at that city, you have the opportunity now
in twenty thirty four when you go there, it's called
the neum Stadium, three hundred and fifty meters above the ground.
You've got the city in the line stadium in the
(10:22):
middle of the line. One side there's a desert. Other
side there's a man made harbor. Madness rating on that
fully nine out of ten.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I've been trying to figure out what all these things
remind me of, and then it finally came to me five.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's kind of the things that the Thunderbirds three.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You know, the tool that the party splits in half.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It fully is and.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Then they just explode out of it with a stadium.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Except instead of the Thunderbirds coming out, it's just a
bunch of football players and people. It's going to be mad.
It's probably going to be worth going just to have
a look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Go you still love that. I would try and make
those things out out of lego, you know, the swimming
pool slides to one side and rocket comes out.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now three rats, right.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I going to finish up with more disturbing coffee news.
The news just seems to get worse and worse around coffee.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Coffee price isn't basically actually better to say to you
if you're thinking about having your coffee, brace yourself with this,
because the international prices have hit their highest level on record.
The price for Arabica beans, which is basically mostly what
we drink around the world. Has just hit US dollars
three dollars forty four a pound. Now that's not going
to mean a lot to you, but what I can
tell you is it's up eighty percent in just this year,
(11:34):
so you can see it's getting close to double right now.
Up to now, what's been going on as the coffee
roasters have been absorbing all of these price increases, but
it's probably getting to about their limit, and so apparently
they're going to put them up and we the consumer
are about to be stung.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No way, does that make it more or less expensive
than meth. I'm just weighing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I don't know, glenns. What's your knowledge on the price
of myth?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, the most recent thing I hear was that I
thought drugs was the price of drugs was coming down.
So yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Not a fae with the price of myth. But I
think actually we could probably ask the Drug Foundation if
next time they're doing the meth testing for the wheeze,
they can do the coffee testing as well. We'll probably
find an answer to that one go for your coffee
instead then always getting close closer price as.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Long as I can still get my Barista bag of
carriage yours beans from Pack and Save and an acceptable price,
I'll be happy. I mean, this is Pack and Save
Silvered oal of course, so I'm assuming that's the price
they charge me. I am Glenn Hart. That was the rewrap.
(12:35):
Hopefully the price of coffee won't go up anymore between
now and tomorrow, but you never know anyway. Either way,
I'll see then.

(10:22):
middle of the line. One side there's a desert. Other
side there's a man made harbor. Madness rating on that
fully nine out of ten.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I've been trying to figure out what all these things
remind me of, and then it finally came to me five.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It's kind of the things that the Thunderbirds three.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
You know, the tool that the party splits in half.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
It fully is and.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Then they just explode out of it with a stadium.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Except instead of the Thunderbirds coming out, it's just a
bunch of football players and people. It's going to be mad.
It's probably going to be worth going just to have
a look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Go you still love that. I would try and make
those things out out of lego, you know, the swimming
pool slides to one side and rocket comes out.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now three rats, right.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I going to finish up with more disturbing coffee news.
The news just seems to get worse and worse around coffee.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Coffee price isn't basically actually better to say to you
if you're thinking about having your coffee, brace yourself with this,
because the international prices have hit their highest level on record.
The price for Arabica beans, which is basically mostly what
we drink around the world. Has just hit US dollars
three dollars forty four a pound. Now that's not going
to mean a lot to you, but what I can
tell you is it's up eighty percent in just this year,
(11:34):
so you can see it's getting close to double right now.
Up to now, what's been going on as the coffee
roasters have been absorbing all of these price increases, but
it's probably getting to about their limit, and so apparently
they're going to put them up and we the consumer
are about to be stung.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
No way, does that make it more or less expensive
than meth. I'm just weighing.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I don't know, glenns. What's your knowledge on the price
of myth?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, the most recent thing I hear was that I
thought drugs was the price of drugs was coming down.
So yeah, I'm just.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Not a fae with the price of myth. But I
think actually we could probably ask the Drug Foundation if
next time they're doing the meth testing for the wheeze,
they can do the coffee testing as well. We'll probably
find an answer to that one go for your coffee
instead then always getting close closer price as.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Long as I can still get my Barista bag of
carriage yours beans from Pack and Save and an acceptable price,
I'll be happy. I mean, this is Pack and Save
Silvered oal of course, so I'm assuming that's the price
they charge me. I am Glenn Hart. That was the rewrap.
(12:35):
Hopefully the price of coffee won't go up anymore between
now and tomorrow, but you never know anyway. Either way,
I'll see then.
