What is the opening banter and why does the show start with a rally discussion?
Jenny Anderson's with us
along with Mark Mitchell. Morning to you two. Hey good morning Mike. Morning Jenny. Hey Mike, I know that I know that you are a shout out from there. But it's not a good thing.
Is racing this weekend at the Ashley Forest uh rally sprint and um Hayden Padden's there, yeah. Yeah, he well he's he's um mentoring Spencer. And he's gonna be racing he's gonna be racing one of his dad's um Sabarra and Prisa W R X's, so No way. Yep, yep, so very, very special event. Um And big shout out to Hayden Patton, who's an absolute class act and has got right alongside the head. Hayden Patton is
one of the nicest guys in the world, as a as are, to be frank, most people are motorsport as a general rule, but um that'll be that'll be quite the event. And uh Hayden Patton did very well the other day, so he's coming off the back of Paraguay and going straight into the forest and he'll probably win that. So that's exciting.
It's a nice way it's a nice way to r remember Possum, who was an amazing ambassador for our country and um you know, and achieve so much in the sport and Hayden looks up to him and uh of course, you know, I raised the kids when Possum was we lost Possum but um and I try I'm not a motorhead at all so I've tried to keep the kids involved in motorsport. Um I I actually was co driver for Taylor in one of the memorial rallies and found out very quickly that that that's not my chosen sport. It's a freaky thing, isn't it? Um
If you ever been in a rally car, if you've ever been in a rally car, even like I am a petrol head and being in a rally car is next level frightening.
I totally agree. And I I found myself having to spite my lip to tell 'em not s to tell 'em to slow down. Which
is not the
right thing for
us. What are you um what are you racing this weekend, Ginny? What are you in?
I'm in a Holden Barina with the number plate hut south. It's pretty pretty impressive. I
love it. Yeah the yeah,
the old parking space story. Have you got over yesterday, Ginny? Do you feel that you were at fault or was Jerry on on a on a short string yesterday?
Oh, I I thought that David Seymour for once I gr I agreed with him. It seemed like Jerry may have missed his lunch and was not having a great day.
No, okay. 'Cause Seymour got booted out as well, of course, didn't he?
He does, yes,
not long after me. Did you see that 'cause you weren't there?
I I was watching it on the telly while I ate my lunch.
Did ch have you ever been booted out before?
No, that's my first time. It's my first time. How'd that feel? Did you
feel did you feel admonished or do you thought you're a dick and I can be I can be
Um Oh, w it was probably like I I thought I could should have I could have been naughty, you know, like it's not like I wasn't being particularly um bad behaved to be kicked out 'cause he was having a tough day. But, you know, yeah uh uh the point was that you know, many Kiwis are struggling to pay rent or even own their own home. So someone with twenty five houses, you know, having a crack. You know, it's important that Labour stands up for for becking hard looking people.
I wasn't in I wasn't in the house. I was actually the Warriors had their Hall of Fame and duck D's last night, which was a awesome event to be at, but um I wasn't in the house but I thought one or two things happened. Either one, Jinny has asked um Jerry to go and do hot yoga um with her um or Jerry has found out that Labour ha are actually going to tax you tax your inflation with their C G T and Jerry was saying you're out you're gone. How how many meetings,
Mark, did you have? And who was it? Did Simeon run the meeting when he said, Guys, no matter what you do in public or in the house from here on in, always say something about Labor's tax? On three.
It's called Message Discipline Politics and it's um and it's it's drawing. I remember
going to the um I actually went to the it was at the UK uh you know, the drinks that they have, Mark, at the cr at the house of the ambassador for um and I I got chatting to some of the the office from your staff.
