I begin and end my working day in my car - listening to radio news - so my working day is book-ended by radio interviews.
As I park up outside the Advocate on Wednesday morning I hear Mana leader Hone Harawira giving his reaction to Phil Heatley's sacking from his ministerial portfolios in John Key's latest Cabinet reshuffle the day before.
Harawira's cellphone must have been red hot on Wednesday as it never left his ear. Yet, as usual, it was his mouth that caused the kerfuffle.
No sooner than he had his breakfast consumed, if even he had, the potty-mouthed politician lashed insults on the departing Energy and Resources and Housing Minister.
Hone said on National Radio's Morning Report that Mr Heatley's departure would be a welcome relief for low-income families. He then called Phil a "smarmy p***k", adding a cherry-on-top by telling the nation that the Cabinet minister had joked about the poor.
