What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Mike, that last interview you did with the Tractor Fellow was brilliant. Thank you. Tim Wilson, good morning. It totally was. Yeah, it was. Mike, it was amazing. No, it wasn't amazing, Tim. Everyone can see through you. Your shell was a puddle.
Good morning to you. Back up the truck.
It wasn't amazing. You know it wasn't amazing.
I didn't know about ploughing competitions. I didn't realise that plowers could get coaches.
That certainly was a revelation to me. That's why we're number one in the country. The stuff they all say, asking the hard questions, what they need to do is revealing stuff you never knew. The Mike Hosking breakfast, revealing stuff you never knew. Kate, how are you?
I'm excellent. I do need to fall on my sword this time last week. I luckily didn't take the bet, so I haven't lost money, but I've lost face because I wanted better for Taylor. I wanted something not commercial. I just wanted to believe that she couldn't possibly get married at the MSG, and I was wrong, so I apologize.
No, no, don't apologize. You don't need to apologize. It's just that you were our go-to on the superficial aspects of life.
Well, that's not really a compliment, but I'll take it.
No, it is. It's just that we all bring strength to the equation. But unfortunately, your reputation is somewhat damaged.
That is so rude.
It is not rude. I mean, the lighter side of life is an important side of life. We can't all be delved into the weeds of the complexities of the world.
Oh, my God. You're making me sound as shallow as a puddle and as dumb as a sack of hammocks.
Exactly, like the TMZ of Wrap the Week. You're more than that, Kate. You know what? You're more like the people of People Magazine of Wrap the Week.
You're the real world. Tim's completely out to lunch. I'm mental, and you are representative of the real world.
That's true. I like to think I bring a bit of heart.
Next question. Answer me this question, Kate Hawksby, entertainment reporter for Newstalk ZB. How is it possible, and explain how this has happened. In a world of streaming where literally everything's available to you, the Emmy nominations are out this morning. Leading the pack with 24 nominations is what program?
Oh, no. Oh, no. Well, I'm failing at my job already because I'm not across this.
No, it doesn't matter. I am, fortunately. I've come to the lightweight superficial part. It's one of those questions. I know the answer. It's hacks. You have no idea. 24. So tell me, you can't watch hacks in this country unless you pay some money to Hey You or Hey Bye Bye. In other words, why is the most successful program on television not readily available to us all when it's that good?
Yeah, it's crazy. I've no idea. That's a question you need to ask the players who are buying this content.
Well, they're not buying it. That's the point. That's why you can't get it. It's not a thing called HBO Max, Mike. No, you can't. The only person who's watched it is Glenn, who VPNed it.
Yeah, and also you're talking about old seasons because the new seasons are what's brilliant.
And season five's one's got the Nommies, the Emmys, the Nommies. Nommies.
Nommies.
Why don't we think out of the box? Can we put it together? Let's get our VPNs going. Let's get some numbers.
Well, according to the drive show at ZB, you'd see the driver all over the VPN scandal this week. Did you catch up on the VPN scandal here this week?
Yeah. It wasn't clear to me were they going to do it. It's very clear to me not. Thinking about doing it. It was a non-story.
Well, I know they're not. My point is it was a complete non-story. Somebody saw somebody who rang somebody who walked down the corridor and then the wind blew change and they suddenly had a rumor. That's what that was. Anyway, the point being, I just don't understand in a world where everything's available, the best program of all is not available to anyone unless you work so hard it's not funny. It's stupid. Now, quick thing for you both. Can you say good morning to Kirsten and Paul, please?
Good morning, Kirsten and Paul.
Good morning, Kirsten and Paul.
