1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Here's a bit of insight into how the radio industry works. 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Yesterday morning leads story Matt Doocy on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: Matt Doosey was due to ring in. Matt Doocey's nowhere 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: to be seen. At about five minutes past seven. We 5 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: go to as what's happened to Matt Doocy? We start 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: chasing him down. It turns out the person in his 7 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: office had written down the wrong number for him to ring, 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: So obviously immediate in confidence and needs to be dealt 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: with forthwith do the basics brilliantly? I thought was the 10 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: National Party? It's not so. Anyway, he rings the number 11 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: that's written down in front of him. Person answers the 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: phone Hello. He goes Hello, It's Matt Doocy reporting for 13 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: the Mike Hosking Breakfast, to which he hears the words, 14 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: oh you no longer have an interview on the Mike 15 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: Hosking Breakfast, goes on, what's unusual, hangs up and he disappears. Anyway, 16 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: we eventually track him down and put him there. Whose 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: phone number was that? Whose phone number was that? That 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: phone number belonged to Radio New Zealand. So Matt Doocy, 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: Minister of the Crown, rang up the state broadcaster as 20 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: funded by you, and I threw our tax money and 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: said Matt Doosey reporting for the my Cosking Breakfast, to 22 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,919 Speaker 1: which point they said, you no longer have an interview 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: with the Mi Cosking Breakfast. Now that's not true. Of course, 24 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: that's a lie. They lied, They made it up and 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: they lied. Now several questions for you. One, do I 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: secretly admire them for being so quick witted that the 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: first thing they do is instead of going, oh, you've 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: probably got the wrong number, or whops, you've rung radio 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: in New Zealando, sorry, they say you no longer have 30 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: an interview with the my Consking Breakfast. That's quite sharp, 31 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: to be honest. Probably worth looking into employing that person, 32 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: whoever they were, because there are some people here aren't 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: remotely that sharp. Second, is it underhand? Third? Is that 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: just competition and that's life? And would we have done 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the same thing if we were alert enough to do 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: the same thing. Fourth? Is it just pure straight up 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: and down sabotage and you shouldn't lie and make stuff 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: up that isn't true? What are your thoughts on this? 39 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: Fifth? 40 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: If we find out and I can who the person is. 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Should I name and shame them? Thoughts? Please? Sex, I'm sorry? 42 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: Should we just ring them? 43 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they won't be the same that it's a 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: general line. What if it's someone different? 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 2: Seven? 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Yes? 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 2: Was it Russian state interference? 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: Very good question, hard to tell. Was the a bird 49 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: in the background? 50 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 2: Eight? Is there like, you know, an anchorman? Yes, it's 51 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: sort of like an internewsroom rivalry. And eventually we'll have 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: to go down to the oh yeah, you know, to 53 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: the basketball court and with our aeriels and our zip 54 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: guns and have a fight. 55 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: You no longer have an interview with the mic Asking Breakfast. 56 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: Click for more from the mi Casking Breakfast.
