How nice and generous is it that the Mowbrays (Nick and Jamie) have opened up their house for trick and treaters, and are gifting toys and sweets? I just hope for their sakes that everything is being monitored closely - remember the drug-laced lollies that found their way into food bank boxes?

Nick might be a bit ... problematic (suing employers for speaking out about working there, etc.), but there's no denying this very generous. Even if it is a PR move, it's still a good look for them to be doing this. Apparently they ran out of toys at one point and sent someone out to get more!

I'm not a fan of Mike King. I heard that interview he did with Heather du Plessis-Allan (yes, I'm an old fogey who listens to ZB), and he sounded as if he was drunk. He was slurring - maybe he just talks like that? I don't know.

But no way should his charity have been given all those millions when others don't see a cent. There was an article in NZ Herald earlier about a teen who committed suicide after calling for help to two helplines - one didn't answer; the other said they'd call her back but never did.

Everything they do is a PR move, they are very calculating and transactional. Luring the kids in to get them hyped up over their toy brands so they beg their parents to buy more. Lol

Haha I know this is a snark site but I’m not sure it’s that deep! Bro is beyond wealthy and whichever way you dice it, he’s doing something cool for kids.

I wish I could more eloquently put my thoughts on him, into words. I would share them far and wide!
Me too! So many people think he’s all that. I’ve tried telling people in my personal life how awful he is and they just won’t hear it. Gross.

I'd love to know how many employees I Am Hope have because as of their last Charity filings they spent almost a million dollars in a year on staff wages.

Wow ok ..... I wonder what the school and parents think of this?? And she actually filmed both girls and filmed one of them drinking the coffee 🙈😳
Her brain is fried, nothing her or her crazy mother does is ever remotely normal. They both drink too much and do stupid things.

I Am Hope is a scheme for Mike King to get rich. He has figured out charity work can pay well, subsidise his living costs, and is a way to generate loads of assets for the future. A total scammer. Unfortunately he is on such a pedestal as an everyday kiwi hero that it is hard for people to see what he is actually up to. Two counselling sessions is jack tit and does not cure mental health. Two sessions just opens the door and then funding stops and people are still broken. Don’t worry tho, Mike has all the answers. Alcohol is the next solution after two measly sessions so just start drinking.

* edit to add sarcasm about alcohol as the spouse of someone with depression and anxiety whose mental health ends up in the bin with even a small amount of alcohol. Living a sober life, taking meds and exercise keeps them well. Mike’s narrative is dangerous.

Here is another OE one. I can fix it:

businesses she supports

buys things from businesses that pay her and gives them to people who pay her. #business expense.

Weird, i was listening yesterday morning and Vaughan was talking about getting an ultrasound of his balls on Friday morning (way TMI) and I think Fletch was off to do the Heaphy track so maybe they've all got time off?

I wonder if they have to be off the air for a certain amount of time - maybe someone complained too many times about Hayley referencing being drunk!

Except she doesn't buy the stuff, it's the "members fund" that buys the stuff. As well as paying for patreon "members" deposit money in the members fund and that pays for all the postage and things she "buys" off small businesses. I.E. she pays for NOTHING out of her own pocket. She gets paid a tit ton to do this ✨ kind act ✨
