Mike Hosking made a comment just over a week ago saying Luke Metcalf from the Warriors going to the Dragons would be like him going to the hits. He laughed about it. He laughed. He laughed. He said he's not laughing about now. The week long, a week's worth of harassment that we've given the poor guy since. Back and forth, we've been going back and forth. We've had billboards.

We've had an ad today in the paper trying to get his attention because he said he'd come down and show us a thing or two, Mike Hosking. And we're like, well, when? When's this going to happen? See, that was a great wrap up. You should have done that in front of the Prime Minister. I know. So you sent me upstairs, we thought, because the Prime Minister is going in to see Mike Hosking. He does it every morning in the same building.

You sent me up there to wait outside the elevator for the Prime Minister. In hindsight, we couldn't have had a shaky pair of hands. Just, you know, with the time pressure and getting the message across clearly. I know. It came out with this security round, people with airpieces. It's quite intimidating. He's got his press secretary. He's going on.

They were on a mission to go into Mike Hosking. And, yeah, I was trying to... I went too deep into a backstory of trying to explain what was going on, just to give him some context. I shouldn't have done it. So this is him coming out of the elevator into the news talks he'd be off. So, okay. Are you missing your buddy?

I know. Do you need to come to a little show? Yeah, you look. I found another ball, got close. Now, Mike Hoss came the other day compared out the hits. And when Luke Meerkard was going to the, basically the dragons, he said the hits was like the dragons. So basically, yeah.

Oh, you're serious. So we're trying to get Mike on the show now. Can you just meet you to him? I'm going to take it right. And say he's going to come down. put it in the paper. Yeah, I'll say, Mike. I love that.

He's got to love that. Oh, I'll sell them coming physically. Yeah, he said he would. He said he would, but we don't know when. So we're like, yeah, there we go. He's got to go. Well, I could hear about five seconds in, we've got to go. We've got to go.

We've got to go. That threw me some more as well, so yeah, I hadn't got into it. Listening to it back, you did a good job of getting the message of great. Kind of got something across. Well, anyway, at least I gave him the ad from the paper today that said Mike Mike asking question mark on the hits tomorrow, tomorrow, 9 o'clock. If you want to see the age you can text Herald 4487, but... Was my shaky pair of hands good enough for him to talk about it on air?

So this is the first 10 seconds. A serious political chat that he has with Mike Hosking on his show. Is he going to bring it up? Mike's got grilling questions he needs to ask the Prime Minister. He's ready to go, in the chamber, ready to go. Prime Minister's just decided to arrive. Nice to see you. Well, it's nice to get into your studio.

I got accosted on the way in by the hits, apparently. Oh, not. Not calling him they... What do you call them? the dragons of of radio world and now they've got a bunch of losers

they've prepared this on your apparently's got you on their show so I spent like five minutes getting past them and just that's why I'm here

so a bit breathless but ready to go never mind now listen a couple of quick things he remembered quite a bit of detail he did well done

Luxe from what I said to what he took out of it that's pretty impressive yeah like to be honest I barely remember what I said. You can tell the press

person was like, blame it on the hats, blame it on the hats. Yeah, yeah. He was already late before us, just by the way. Now, can I just say, as a campaign, we've reached the summit. Well, there's not much more we can do to get this guy on the radio show. You can't get higher than the Prime Minister. No, you literally can't.

So, I think we'll leave it to the universe now. Okay. There's been billboards, there's been text harassment, there's been newspaper ads, the Prime Minister's got involved. We ambush the guys show live on Friday. there's really not much more we can do. Mike, there's one way to stop this,

to end it once and for all, just come down and put your money where your mouth is. He said he'd do it on one of his quieter days. What does that mean? He doesn't have quiet days. He's always busy, right? Yeah, he's a busy guy, so we'll find out. Hey, the prime minister.

Well done, we've dragged everyone into this.
