Hi,
How about a few drinks? NZ Police and their alcohol policy goals. UK politics gets milky. Killer whales at the party. We've had a budget. Our bright collective future. And Trump guilty.

Hi,
The Green Party faces fresh scandal and the polling boost to boot. The Atlas Network apparently controls NZ elections. Taylor Swift has a new record out. Drake vs Kendrick. The campus protests and Macklemore. And dating advice.

Hi,
Long weekend; long episode.
The rolling atrocity and spiritual debt of the Gaza genocide. Chocolate eggs made it through the Red Sea after all. Sydney Sweeney as the mysterious lightning rod of all discourse. And the government embarks on brutal mathematics to enact the methods they were elected on, even though the purposes may have slipped out of reach.

Hi!
Prime Minister Chris Luxon gets in hot water by smashing the Free Money button in his office, and has since promised not to do it again. Charging the country to rent his own apartment off himself is prima facie obscene, but could just be the least corrupting things about having multi-millionaire landlord rule makers.
Meanwhile the sexy working class are putting in strenuous, trans-tasman scuba diving shifts at the cocaine retrieval factory in order to get their daily bread. And the imminent demise of Newshub looks set to change the New Zealand news media landscape forevs.
There's some movies out, some music out, and something in Glasgow that is as yet uncategorisable...

Hello there,
Recording Waitangi Day Eve 2024. Ardern is married, Invercargil sex toy thief identified, Wānaka burger options in the balance. Dave goes to the Foo Fighters, people pick on the public service, and the fallout from Golriz Ghahraman's shoplifting allegations.

Hello,
Chaos as hip hop and municipal sanitation issues collide in Lower Hutt. The grand tradition of New Years Eve munted rambling collides with the Prime Minister. Dumbass racists collide with the official status of languages. We both collide with Saltburn. One year collides with another, cheer and goodwill collide with all.

Hi,
The National-ACT-NZ First coalition agreement(s?) are signed and New Zealand has a government. These foundational documents may promise things the parties have no intention of providing, contain contradictory wording, not add up, but what's new.
We went and saw Napoleon in the theatres. To some it's a drama, to others a comedy, and to horses a horror.
And a ceasefire-of-sorts in Gaza in even parts celebrated and lamented.
Technical note, there's a weird thing going on with the RSS update frequency if using https://atthedrivethru.co.nz/rss. https://feeds.libsyn.com/69850/rss instead pulls episodes as soon as they're available.

Hi
The negotiations to create the next coalition of chaos are apparently underway. What hydra might emerge from it, and what referenda on foundational indigenous rights issues in NZ look like if certain folks get their way?
UK politics remains unstable with the Home Secretary fired, and the familiar face of regretful Brexitdoer David Cameron reentering cabinet.

HI hi,
Bit of a long one so let's get right to the point; An election occurred but we still don't know precisely the outcome. Has an incoming government ever looked more like they're limping home?
A crackdown on gangs / looking mid is coming. The National party in a nutshell.
Dan went to a gig. And the war in Palestine and it's meta discussion online - both horrors to behold.

Why hello,
It's election time and another debate has befallen us. My, how the strategic winds have changed since our prior episode. How the slings, barbs, goofs and gaffs have brought us to this one of an unknown number of elections in our near future.
Also; Israel.

Hi,
National's most please-shut-up MP applies for a medal for services to the grocery shop. All as both gender and vegetables form broad, misunderstood, contentious political footballs moving to centre stage this election.
Politics occurs; both vote-based and nonvote-based varieties.
Also Covid-19 - insomuch as it was a successful and powerful central government programme - is over. What about that eh.

Hi,
Major industrial action in the city of stars. What does our entertainment and labour universe look like in the seasons to come?
An election looms with the major parties nodding along or frowning seriously at the tone set by the minors. Retail politics is confusing. Eurodance is back, in parody form.

Hey we're right on time.
Massive Attack's Mezzanine is 25 years old this year, and while at this age it is now eligible for lower car insurance premiums, at the time of its release things were much less predictable.

Tory Whanau, who is Wellington's mayor, had a spot of bother on the fizz one evening, but whom amongst us has any ounce of grace?

Hello once again.
In the news this hour; where we've been like it's your business, the Russians are revolting a ha ha ha, big big Invercargil news, Kate Hawkesby vs a normal holiday, the National Party's AI dreams and the federation of Taylor Swift fans who have the power to end life as we know it.

Literal tragedy with Cyclone Gabrielle causing death, damage and mayhem to much of the north island but not us. The curious cases of really-quite-identifiable-flying-objects getting exploded by the American Air Force. Trump's re-ascendancy. Jimmy Carter and the myth of a "good president". Plenty more!

Hi,
Jacinda Ardern quits outright, rather than say doing a bit of prime ministering every other weekend for sporadic bursts of a handful of months at a time. Chippy Hipkins takes the mantle. And we're back to routine politics with no superstars on the court.
And Dan's listened to all of Prince Harry's book, Spare, which we give our undivided attention.

Hello,
Polls polls polls abound as we head into an election-year-eve-christmas. Is our fiscal relationship to state power going to get a squeeze in the name of freedom?
And the politics of being wealthy and dim, or insane, and how it shapes one's worldview, one assumes.
