Full Show Podcast: 10 September 2026

0:00The issues, the interviews and the insight, Ryan Bridge on an early addition with Spark for Business, technology that keeps business moving. News talks, there'd be. Good morning, fixed after five great-to-have-you-coming, coming up on the show, David Seymour on Red Tape this morning, US oil's up over $100 a barrel again. House prices here, 2029 before we'll get them back to 2021, prices according to ASB, plus we'll do AI and data centers. The agenda. It is Thursday, the 10th September great-to-have-you-company, Nigel Farage will the cops are involved now. Channel 4 over there has released footage. They sent in an actor, posing as an American businessman. This American businessman goes and meets with Nigel Farage. Remember, this is the meeting where Farage says, I wasn't listening to any of that. It's a new year, we're on a game. It's a very good trip. I run an American family office and I haven't been able to donate directly to this up to this point. But I was thrilled to pick up the town for the polls that you had.

1:05Yeah, that was great. And the third poll worked. Right. When I saw the third poll on the front page of the site, I thought, well, all right. These are people who know how to stand right. It doesn't sound great, does it? The worst case scenario here is jail time. That is extremely unusual, a custodial sentence for breaking electoral reform. But this is a big deal. It is a significant update that the Met Police have launched a criminal investigation after those two men, Dan Jukes and James Orr, senior officials in reform perhaps stepped down over that footage. If it's an actor and not a real thing, can you be arrested for that? You know what I mean? Anyway, Andy Burnham, he's defending his government sanctions on West Bank settlements and the House. Britain has to stand for something. Britain has to show leadership. Britain has to stand for fairness against injustice, where people are being bullied out of their homes intimidated.

2:06We will always stand with the underdog. It's got the US Trump's ban in Canadian motorbike, spirits and milk. The bans on the alcohol and as well as motorcycles are going to kick in in about three weeks' time. Trump administration has for quite some time talked about how tariffs are here to stay. Donald Trump truly believes that tariffs are a way to re-shore jobs, bring them to the United States. Finally, you know, the jurors and the Lindsey Clancy trial. This is the mother that they reckon killed her kids. It was a mistrial. You know, three of the jurors were spoken out saying there was one who just wouldn't budge. He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said. He admitted he had reasonable doubt. And I started filling out the forms. I was so excited. And then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity. We read to him on numerous occasions the definition of a reasonable doubt. But he had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children.

3:07Hear it? First, Ryan Bridge on early edition with Spongebob for Business. Technology that keeps business moving. News talk said, B. That's a jury of your peers. Isn't it nine minutes after five, nine, two, nine, two is the number to take? Look, you're forward talking about this ASB report. It's just come out. I mean, it's no great revelation that house prices aren't really going anywhere in a hurry. Unless you're in parts of the South Island. Unless you're in Queen's Town Lakes, for example. But the interesting part about it is just how long it's going to take before we get back to the highs that we saw in 2021. So that won't happen. And it's only a nominal terms anyway until 2029. So 10 years, well, almost 10 years between drinks. And it's only a nominal terms. So much longer before you actually get once you inflation or just once you get back to where house prices were. This is obviously for a lot of people a good thing because house prices aren't taking off and going nuts. And the reasons are well canvased and we will talk about them later in the program.

4:08But they reckon three and a half percent for 2027. And then around five percent per year thereafter. And then yeah, 2029 is your date. So we'll talk about that a little later in the program. Also this morning. Very interesting looking at what happened in 999 community center in lower hut last night. That's a joke. It's not. But 120 people turned up to here. This is Chris Hippkins first public meeting of the campaign. And 120 people and a pet cat turned up untold last night. All went off without a hitch. And mainly, you know, they packed these things with their own supporters. National does the same packet with their own supporters. And then you don't look so bad. But it's just interesting the strategies and you have to give some of you in brown probably a bit of credit for getting Luxin out there early. Because all and he's pretty much finished his round of public meetings now already. But it's created the impression that he is able to go out there and talk to real people.

5:10He is able to engage with the public, which is what you need to do. And then he's basically finished. So he's gone out there. He's created this impression. And then he's done. He won't have any more planned public meetings henceforth. And there's nine weeks to go on the campaign, which means he can focus on, you know, going to cut some ribbons and do a few press conferences. And this is where the sort of the muckrakers and the disgruntled folk like to come out of the woodwork. And this is where Hibkans is starting his public meetings. So you've probably got him. You've probably done a smart thing there. I would say some in brown 12 minutes after five Ryan bridge on used talks there be great to have your company. We're back after this. The early edition full show podcast on I have radio how it by news talks at B. Before the news breaks here at first Ryan bridge on early edition with spark for business technology that keeps business moving news talks at B.

6:14By 14 interesting Peter Teal has a founders fund and it's put money into a company called Covenant. Covenant is an American defense startup. And they are building new long range cruise missiles. They're making a fraction of the cost of the Tomahawks that the American military is currently using. We're spoken before about the fact that they're running a little low. Their stockpiles are running a little low. So this is a startup defense company. They've just opened a big factory in Dallas. They've got a supply factory in Germany. They've got a factory in Israel. And they reckon they're going to make a thousand of these things in their first year and scaling up to 5,000 of them very cheap and go a long way 14 after five. Ryan bridge labors AI policy they want an office of AI they want a new online safety regulator they want new copyright rules and they want data centers to wash their own face. We'll invest in a eyes benefits because there are real benefits. But we will also focus on protecting key ways from the potential harm that AI can cause.

7:15Right Graham Muller, Chief Executive of Tech New Zealand with us this morning. Hey Graham. Right. Right. What are you reckon? I think it's fantastic. It's I speak probably a lot of parties all have some sort of stance on AI at this election. We've been calling for about the last two elections. This is a technology that is more impactful than any would have seen even electricity. And finally, I think it's good to see people taking it seriously. What is an office of AI in New Zealand going to do? This is a this is a global phenomenon. It's got a life of its own. What can you actually do to regulate it? Yeah, I think it's a part will need to be regulated for sure. But I think the main thing is that it's such a powerful technology that we need to have basically a view on what's happening across government and in society and making sure that we're as I say in there in the press release getting the best benefits while managing any of the risks.

8:17At the moment, it's all very ad hoc. It's like a little bit like a lot of people listening to this. They probably would have had a bit of a play with Claude or open AI chat GPT or something like that. And their kids probably have and their grandparents probably have in there and then make them the road probably has that it's just random ad hoc and you're not getting the best benefits out of it. And you're also probably exposing yourself to vulnerabilities with your data and things like that, but not having a structured approach to it. So people are going on there and putting in their information, asking questions. Here's my bank balance or whatever and it's taking out that it's sucking up the information. It could be. It's just that everyone's excited by the when you start playing with these tools, they're powerful and they're amazing and people get excited by it. And we've yet to face the potential risks like we're seeing it with other parts of AI already through, as I say, we need an online data regulator because we're seeing AI still embedded in our society already.

9:19We're using it a lot, but we're probably not thinking through the implications in a lot of places. It's a great, it's a great powerful tool and it will give us a lot of benefits and it does need a strong view. And it's not, this is not, this is not new. I mean, for many, many years now, other countries have had ministers of AI and offices of AI. So this is, yeah, but really good policy. I agree with you. They have, but is there is anything any better there? You know, I mean, it's just another thing. It's like another office. It's another official. It's how you can't stop it. Yeah, like a really good parallel is if you cast your mind back, I'm not sure how old you were when the mobile phone arrived, but everyone freaked out about mobile phone. We didn't want people using them in places. People going to get cancer. There was a lot of people going to mobile phone. But they, they eventually coordinated with industry and made some pragmatic rules around things like that. That's not put cell towers in the middle of schools. Now with rich and age, where people are really complaining, it's the cell towers in close enough, and they haven't got 5,000 in a fast online streaming.

10:24So that moves on. But at the time when it's all happening, you don't want it to be happening in a Roger random way. You want some sort of structure and plan coordination between different agencies, different industry bodies, etc. So that things work in a way that's best for New Zealand. All right, Graeme Goodtavion, the show. Thank you, Graeme Mullachep, executive tech New Zealand time is 18 after 5. I remember when the cell phones came out and they said if you put the cell phone in your pocket, then you, it freezes you to your sperm. You remember that? I think people still, I don't know, I don't know that it's not true. You know, I haven't actually checked. I know sperm count is going down. That's a recorded sign to fit fat. How do we know it's not the cell phones? And we need an office to tell us that apparently. 90 minutes after 5 very quickly was reading about and throbic this morning. You know, they've got Claude the AI model and the American government is blaming the Chinese for basically doing what apprentices do to their bosses, which is just ask them lots of questions.

11:28So the Chinese younger bots go and ask the American older bots, how do you do this? Why are you doing this? Learn from them and then make themselves smarter in the process. They're saying this is fifth. 19 after 5 news talks, it'd be the early edition full show podcast on I have radio powered by news talks, it be news and views you trust to start your day. It's early edition with Ryan bridge and spark for business technology that keeps business moving news talks, it be 522. You know, there's been lots of protests against migrants in the UK. Well, in Portsmouth, they went and surrounded a hotel because they got word that do with some asylum seekers inside the hotel. This is happened last night. Inside the hotel, in fact, was Pakistan's under 19 cricket team on tour. Whoops. Ryan bridge. More news on housing, ASB's picking house prices to finally hit their 2021 peak. This is a nominal terms only, but not until 2029.

12:30Prices are still 15% below that high. They're expecting to increase 3.5% next year. Rod and Christy, real estate agent with us this morning, Rod and good morning. Hello, how you doing, Ryan? Very well. Thank you. Good to have you on the show. What's it like selling real estate at the moment, Rod? We've had quite a quiet August. There's no doubt about it. Well, it's not a bit in August. We saw a lot of old stock in August. September has been quite quiet, but there's a lot of activity we think around the corner. We're talking to a lot of clients at the moment to the lining up and making that do with jump before the election. Do we wait until after the election? Look, I appreciate the fact that some prices have been down a little bit. I reckon there's more activity coming than the ASB report shows. I think we could have quite a strong start of 2027. Judging by the sheer numbers of people we're talking to at the moment. And that's partly because people have just accepted the fact we're in a stable market. Not much is really changing. There's no point really waiting to remain as well and move on.

13:35And bloody good news for first home buyers. It certainly is. That end of the market. What about the other end of the market? What houses are selling? Do you have to be renovated? Do you have to look good? 100%. The houses which are selling quite easily and for big money are very well presented. So if you're thinking about it, do the work, do the hard work. People are trying to steal bargains out there. Buyers have got a heap of choice. If you really produce a shiny product where people know they do not have to spend any money once they've purchased, then you're likely to get a good sale fairly quickly for a good price. But apart from the first home buyers, which is quite a lot of down sizes, who've now decided, hey, and there's probably for the prices are not going to move a great deal next year. And so they're thinking, well, there's no point hanging on with all the costs associated with larger homes. So we're going to downsize now and just fight the bullet.

14:37That side of the market is beginning to move a great deal more. You've got other indications. Building consensus in July, we're up 21% on the year before. Stats News Inner reported residential construction for Q2 as up 10% from last year. Those are all good signs that there's a simmering in the market, which I think will see a reasonable start to 2027. But it's going to be stable. There are no massive gains to be made. It is going to be still, you know, I look at it right now for three or four tough years and think, if we're going to get back to 2021 by 2029, which is only now what year and a half away. Well, that's not a bad thing. I take that to what we've been through. Rod and Christy, real estate agent, it is 25 after five news talks. You'll be talking about the idea of another new ministry and another new minister next. News talks at B527. Do we really need a minister of booze? Back in the good old days, they were all ministers of booze. The whole cabinet, especially this one,

15:39doesn't give my parents much time to wrap up to a election, does it? But the idea that we need a minister responsible for alcohol, while well intentioned, like all the 81 odds portfolios that previous reviews and recommendations have created, is not necessary. This is one of the recommendations from the hospitality sector regulatory review. This review was done by the Ministry for Regulation. Remember that ministry was created to cut red tape and make government less complicated. It's recommended creating a new agency and a new ministerial responsibility. It was announced by the Minister for Regulation, David Seymour, whose role was also set up to cut red tape. Can you see the problem here? There are no doubt good reasons to make rules simpler and get rid of regulations, but creating a new minister and ministry who then does a review and recommends creating another agency and another ministerial job just sounds backwards. It's like bacteria.

16:42Bureaucratic bacteria. They multiply in spread everywhere. One minute, it's a single cell, neck minute, it's split into two, neck minute, there's four. It goes on and on and on. We need fewer jobs in Wellington, surely not more. Remember Ireland, Norway, Singapore, Finland, similar size to us. They've got fewer than 20 ministerial roles. The UK, Canada, the US, Korea, lot larger than us, still fewer than 30. The saving grace here is that no decisions on this review have yet been made, so why not just cut the red tape and send the police for a beer at Bellemings? 29 minutes after five. How many years has New Zealand had to prepare for AI? Another knee-jerk reaction from this dumb, don't think, a head government? It was actually a Labour policy, Steve. Oh, Steve says it doesn't matter which party they're all idiots. Okay. Great to have you company, Steve. We're going to the US next here on New Zealand ZB.

17:46We missed that long video. The Early Edition full show podcast on IHAR Radio, powered by Newstalk ZB. Ryan Bridge, on Early Edition with Spark for Business, technology that keeps business moving, Newstalk ZB. 24-way from six year on Newstalk ZB coming up, oil up over $100 a barrel again. We'll go to the US for the latest. Trump's going to give a big speech at the Republican National Convention as well. We'll give you details of what's to come. David, see more on red tape. Loads of your texts and feedback will get to in a second as well. But over in Germany, we've had the far right. And I do that with some inverted commas because I mean, what is far right? How far do you go before you no longer far right? You know what I mean? Before you're left of far right. Anyway, it's AFD and it's an existential threat to Mertz, who's the Chancellor in Germany at the moment,

18:49because they're coming for him when they have their next general elections. Remember, these are state elections, but when they have the next general elections, they are hoping to try and clean them out. Now, Mertz has hit back his first comment since their victory at the weekend. He's accusing them of ethnic cleansing, and the reason he's saying the words ethnic cleansing is because of their remigration policy, which is basically to take people who are in Germany illegally and send them home. Now, this is quite a controversial term, apparently. They refer to it, certainly places like the Guardian refer to it as irregular migrants. So it's large-scale expulsions of irregular migrants, and then you go, what the hell is an irregular migrant? An irregular migrant is anyone who enters a country without official permission or legal documents. Now, in my mind, that's a legal immigration. You know, as the Americans would call it an illegal alien.

19:49Isn't it the same thing? Anyway, he's saying that sending them home is basically ethnic cleansing. He's got a job to protect. It's 22 minutes away from six. Ryan Bridge! Let's go around the country, Jamie Cunningham to need, and Jamie Good morning. Morning, Ryan. You got some gold mine news for us. Yes, so Oshiana Gold wants to squeeze another decade out of New Zealand's biggest gold mine, lodging a $3.1 billion application to extend its macrae's operation in Otago. It's seeking fast track approval for the project, targeting another 1 million ounces of gold over more than a decade. Senior Vice President for Legal and Public Affairs, Alison Pull, says it would benefit Estotago in the wider community, supporting hundreds of jobs and local businesses. She adds that it's also an opportunity to improve the way the mine looks after the environment, meeting New Zealanders' expectations now and in the future. The application will now be assessed for completeness before being considered by an independent expert panel.

20:50Alright, how's your weather, Jamie? Fine, apart from rain before dawn, westerlies and a high of tin. Thank you. Clear's in Christchurch. Morning, clear. Good morning. What's this mansion being given away? Yeah, this is a multi-million dollar home in Merervale. It's up for grabs, but with one catch, whoever takes it will have to then pay and go to the hassle of moving it. Developers M Group are keen to clear this 1500 square meter property to put six new stand-alone townhouses on there. It's reportedly bought this mansion for $3.8 million. It's been beautifully restored since the quakes, and basically now you can have it if you move it. Now, Director Sean McCrawy says they're not looking to make any money from this process, but they do think that finding a buyer won't necessarily be easy because there is relocation and further investment costs to consider. That says he reckons there are already some interested parties who have both the land and means to move this 120-year-old home. How's your weather, Claire? We've got rain developing this morning. Should clear early afternoon, south westerlies, briefly strong, but then dying out the high 11.

21:54Nice one. Thanks. You have a nice day. Max, good morning. Good morning. Ho, ho, ho. That's right. Yeah, it may seem a little early to be thinking about Christmas, but September 10. For 86 years, the Royal New Zealand RSA has been sending Christmas parcels to New Zealand military personnel deployed overseas. And today, Mark, at the beginning of that prep, they're wrapping these parcels today at Trenton Military Camp. You're talking handmade cards from families, well wishes. Kiwi treats, non-perishable, I assume, palms providing most of the food. A really great event. Last year, more than 150 parcels were sent to a Defence Force personnel serving in places like Korea, South Sudan, Egypt, the Middle East, Antarctica, among others. And today, September 10 marks the day that those parcels are wrapped at Trenton. Oh, wonderful. How's your weather? Clairely with showers, stronger norwesterlies this morning, 14. All right, you enjoy, Max. Thank you. And neither ho, ho, ho. We'll be sitting here laughing with my hand over my mouth going, stop it, neither stop laughing.

22:59Hey, the came out store that's opening West Auckland this morning. Pretty big. Yes, pretty big. And I bet you there will be cues. There'll be cues of people waiting because, you know, they love turning up to the opening of an envelope. So unlike others, it's going to operate with the stores. Apparently a plan C plus format. What does that you ask? I'm not sure, but it's a new layout. I think that's really big in Australia. So this is what they have the came out plan C plus format. So it's a whole new layout, the checkout. Instead of you know, it came out, you go to came out and the checkout is in the middle of the store. It's now going to be at the front of the store or near the exit. So there's shifting everything around. There's going to be better product presentation, expanded self-service technology. And apparently this is pretty cool. So the Westgate store is going to introduce, you know, like new kiosks for larger items. So that's your outdoor equipment, your nursery products. So instead of taking up all the huge amount of space on the shop floor, customers, you go to a, you know, kiosk and then you'll just punch it in.

24:04I want 10 plants blah, blah, blah. Decide on an item, you get a ticket and then you collect it from a collection. Does it seem odd? The one that I'm thinking of the one that you go to, the mall in St. Luke's. Oh yes, I go to that one. Why do they have it in the middle of the shop? I never really thought about why it's there, but it doesn't really make sense. No, and then you've got all the security on the door wondering who's leaving without paying. Yeah, it's not immediately obvious if you've been through the checkout. And I think they must have thought about that too. They're who true. They're who true, Ryan. And decided to change it. So I think that's the plan C plus. Someone just trying to be cool with design and it didn't work. And why see? Why see? Why they let us see? See, see, see. No, because that's what you are if you shoplift. How's that weather? Alright, glad increasing odd show from late morning. Then that rain. I think we'll be quite heavy early evening, 16 in the high here. Alright, thank you, Niva. It is 17 away from six year on news talks. What's Trump going to say to the Republican National Convention? We'll tell you next.

25:07There's no denying it. Businesses are under pressure at the moment, keeping up in the current market takes real innovation. And that's why businesses are getting ahead of the crowd and looking harder at technology and technology that genuinely improves how you operate. Because resilience doesn't just happen overnight. It's something you build. And that's the conversation spark is having with their customers right now, whether it's smarter connectivity, cloud solutions that scale with you, or unlocking the power of AI to drive better decisions and better productivity. Spark is helping businesses stay ahead of the curve. They're not just selling tech. They're offering real solutions and real support. It's about making your systems work together so your people can focus on the date today. Today's stuff that really matters what they're good at. So if you're ready to take the pressure off and move forward with confidence, talk to Spark for business. They'll help get you sorted. International correspondent with NZI insurance. Peace of mind for New Zealand business. 14 away from sex. We'll get to David Seymour and just a second first oil, bring crude up over a hundred bucks a barrel overnight.

26:08And this is because of the war in the Middle East. Nick, what do we know? That's why Ryan it's been pushed up even higher up above $100 a barrel for the first time in several months, really since about July. And the bad news, it's going to go higher. That's the expectation because we are once again seemingly in that cycle of strikes and counter strikes by the US and Iran. So in the last 24 hours, the US destroyed five Iranian oil tankers Iran in retaliation targeted the US base in Jordan, targeted two US vessels and eight oil tankers near the straight of all moves. And the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is saying that the US will continue to hit Iran's oil tankers if Iran continues to retaliate. So in theory, more US retaliation to come in the coming hours and on top of that Iran is threatening to target more oil tankers. And that's all bad news for energy prices. We've just seen here in the US. At the most expensive holiday weekend, the end of summer, Labor Day weekend, the most expensive for motorists on record, all because petrol prices have been pushed up by the war in Iran.

27:11And now all prices rising higher once again. Nick, what about Trump speak to the Republican convention? Are you going to talk about this? It's constantly living. Well, this is the big thing. Many Republicans want him to deal with those issues that matter to voters affordability rising inflation. This war with Iran that is pushing up prices, but the big worry is it's going to be all about Trump and all about Trump's ego because you wouldn't normally have a convention ahead of a midterm election. They normally only happen every four years, just ahead of the presidential election. So this is unusual. Donald Trump, though, wanted to have it. And therefore the worry is he's going to talk about all his old grievances. He's going to attack Joe Biden who hasn't been president for a couple of years and really not deal with the big problems that voters will be thinking about when they vote in under two months in the midterm elections. And today on day one of two days, Donald Trump is giving the headline speech. He didn't want to wait until day two. He's jumping in giving the headline speech tonight and says he'll speak on day two to give closing remarks.

28:12So yes, it's all about Trump. But will he deal with the cost of living issues that many Americans are feeling? All right, Nick Harper. That's our US correspondent time is 18 sorry 12 minutes away from six o'clock. Very quickly. This is out of China that released the inflation number. It's still low up 0.8% from a year ago, but it is a little higher than July marginally higher than what they were expecting. The interesting thing is what's falling and pork is falling through the floor, the price of it and the reason they've got massive industrial scale pig farms over there. Supply up price down Brian bridge back home hospital regulation reviews. This is David Seymour's lot paying too much and fees are our hospital businesses licensing decisions taking too long. Some don't even make sense. Sometimes what happens is individual agencies don't appreciate what they're doing is running counter toward another government department is doing. No decisions made yet on this review. David Seymour Minister for regulation with us. David, good morning.

29:14Good morning. Hey, so one of the things that's come up, they do we need a minister for alcohol or regulating responsible for alcohol and potentially another new agency. Yeah, well, that's the recommendation that there's been put up by the ministry. Not really one that I would would go with my viewers that these things can be achieved by getting the people we have or ideally less ministers and departments to do their job, but I think what they've identified is that there is a problem in that too many people don't know what the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. When it comes to the point of view of a cafe or a restaurant or a food truck or a farmer's market storeholder often they'll find that they got a deal with some cases. Half a dozen different agencies. That's man. I think people understand that.

30:15I think and I think you know that the substance that is right, but just from an optics point of view, David, you've got you know this ministry of regulation set up to get rid of regulations recommending a new minister and a new agency, you know, it's like you talk about the left hand in the right hand. How many hands do we need? We'll end up with an octopus. I think you know from the point of view of the ministry for regulation, and I know there's people say, oh, how can you have a bureaucracy to stop bureaucracy. But in time and again, what they've proven is that when you have some imbassal business or what we call the regulated party with multiple government departments regulating them, first of all they don't know where to start. And second of all, even if they did, they're very unlikely to complain because if you're regulated, you rely on having an easy life and a good relationship with your regulator. You don't really want to tell them to be honest. We think you're crap because that means they might start picking on you. So if you look at everything from early childhood education with totally flipped over the way that they regulated, thanks to the MFR going and talking to, you know, literally thousands of people in that sector.

31:27Now we're doing hospitality in the past with don't tell communications and even just the importation of, you know, veterinarian medicines and agricultural products. So that's the power of the ministry for regulation. You can talk to them and be there. They're not actually a regulator themselves, but they can tell the rest of the government what to do. And this will without without creating without taking that particular recommendation. This is going to make life a hell of a lot easier for people just trying to get and trying to make a buck in the hostile industry. All right. David, see more at party leader. Deputy PM and Minister for Regulation. 8 to 6 news talks have been. The news you need this morning and the in-depth analysis early edition with Ryan Bridge and Spark for Business. Technology that keeps business moving. News talks at B. 6 to 6 on news talks at B. Mike is with you this morning. Good to see you back, Ryan. Great to be back, Mike.

32:27It's only when you get Andrew Dickens. You realize how good you are. Four Andrew. No, I love Andrew. Thank you for saving the day. What are you discussing today, Mike? Well, today I'm going to talk to a man called Jordy Barrett, who enjoys throwing a football around. They're in Washington, actually, which is interesting because if they said to me to prepare for a test in Baltimore, would you like to be in Washington? I'd go Washington because Washington is one of the great cities of America. I haven't been, obviously, you have. Yeah, friend of mine went and said you can rent a bike and just bike around best way to do Washington. That's probably true, actually. On my I fit at home, one of the early rides I did ironically was Washington on that exact track. You can do different things on your I fit. This particular guy was one of those casual routes. I go up mountains and down dails and stuff. But on the Washington one, you could just go gently around Washington. On the streets. Look at the monuments. Fantastic. Because one day you won't be able to travel.

33:28You'll be too old. You can go around the world on your I fit. I can go around the world on my I fit. I thought you had a peloton. No, no, there's the same thing I buy. I go I fit. I had I fit before I knew what peloton was. But they're the same thing. It's well worth getting if you're into into your fitness. You have a sweat towel. Oh, yeah, I got one on this. A little drink bottle. Yeah, I know I don't do the drink bottle but I've got the sweat towel. I've got room for the drink bottle. I've got a camel bag. Mine to know. Mine's a race machine and the drink bottle is down between your legs. You know how they reach down. It's not on the handlebars. So you've reached down every time. Well, if I had one, I'd reach down between my legs and there'd be all on. But you don't want to cause yourself an injury with that. Anyway, I so Jury Barron on the program. And so Peter Bex coming in for a jet of fantastic. Oh, yeah, yeah, about his about rock and lad and stuff like that. You really think he spends half the cut. I assumed he was an American. He is, isn't he? No. Yeah. He still lives at least half a year if not more here. Oh. Yeah, so it's still very much a New Zealand company. So he's in this one. I think that sounds like a pretty good show, right? Sounds great. Yeah.

34:28Can't beat it. I don't think so. And the evidence is there to prove it. You know, I'd great to see you back. Have a fantastic day. You're still sitting. Let's keep watching. Let's keep watching. Let's keep watching.
