His Worship and Mike are bringing in the New Year talking regulation those speedy Lime scooters, ways to avoid spreading the Kauri dieback, and the dreaded helicopters are back... Safe to say that Mike's not stoked about it.
His Worship talks money well spent, right? $600,000 towards private investigators helping to stop graffiti, and Christmas entertainment, of course. We're sensing a few themes this week, Merry Christmas Mayor.
His Worship reckons $250m on the America's cup should be enough, 'cause you know, return on investment and that. Mike and the Mayor also discuss the tragic events that have unfolded over the last week, are we doing enough to reduce domestic violence?
The Mayor chats to Mike about the latest Auckland Council budget, with a big chunk going towards the City Misson, and living wages for council staff. And what else, Mayor?
Rain runoff, parades, Safeswim - oh my. And what's all this about Auckland being a UNESCO City of Music? Sounds cool, but what does it mean, your Worship?

His Worship is talking big plans for Auckland city, as well as his throne, and those heavy, oh so sacred, chains. Covering the costs of Eden Park, new plans for the viaduct and Kauri dieback, are we actually doing enough Phil?
His Worship talks the latest form of transport around Tāmaki Makaurau, electric scooters... Easy commute or rogue hazard? The Mayor isn't convinced. Phil also catches up with Mike about special visitors to New Zealand and, of course, Guyfawkes.
