Now, what do we 65 00:02:59,093 --> 00:03:01,012 Speaker 5: need to do about that? Is it just me being 66 00:03:01,013 --> 00:03:03,893 Speaker 5: old and grumpy, But there's too much of this goes on. 67 00:03:04,293 --> 00:03:06,453 Speaker 5: There's only one reason a digger falls off the back 68 00:03:06,493 --> 00:03:07,893 Speaker 5: of a truck, and that's because they didn't put the 69 00:03:07,893 --> 00:03:10,453 Speaker 5: digger on the truck in the first place properly. So 70 00:03:10,532 --> 00:03:13,013 Speaker 5: that's going to be ours of delays and productivity is 71 00:03:13,013 --> 00:03:14,373 Speaker 5: going to be up the spout, and people are going 72 00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:16,133 Speaker 5: to miss meetings, and it's going to be tears in 73 00:03:16,133 --> 00:03:17,532 Speaker 5: the back seat for the kids and all that sort 74 00:03:17,532 --> 00:03:19,173 Speaker 5: of stuff. But at the end of the day, all 75 00:03:19,213 --> 00:03:21,613 Speaker 5: it will happen is that will be nine thousand road cones, 76 00:03:21,613 --> 00:03:22,973 Speaker 5: four cops and a whole bunch of people to come 77 00:03:22,972 --> 00:03:24,412 Speaker 5: along and pick the digger up and send the truck 78 00:03:24,453 --> 00:03:25,813 Speaker 5: on his way, and you might get a ticket of 79 00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:27,853 Speaker 5: some description. What we need what do we need to do? 80 00:03:27,853 --> 00:03:28,773 Speaker 5: Do we need to taste them? 81 00:03:29,013 --> 00:03:30,053 Speaker 6: We do? 82 00:03:30,093 --> 00:03:31,813 Speaker 4: We need to taste them straight to the taser. That 83 00:03:31,893 --> 00:03:35,172 Speaker 4: was number one option sensible policing. You come across someone 84 00:03:35,213 --> 00:03:39,013 Speaker 4: that's done something absolutely stupid and you go, god, idiot, 85 00:03:39,013 --> 00:03:42,133 Speaker 4: You taser them, and then they feel better about themselves 86 00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:44,853 Speaker 4: because they've perceived a punishment, and then everyone just goes 87 00:03:44,893 --> 00:03:45,893 Speaker 4: on just as served. 88 00:03:45,973 --> 00:03:46,172 Speaker 7: Yeap. 89 00:03:46,573 --> 00:03:49,613 Speaker 4: Job job done. So Mike Hoskin's on board. Next step 90 00:03:49,973 --> 00:03:52,373 Speaker 4: Mark Mitchell will be thinking about it, so then job, 91 00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:53,613 Speaker 4: job done. 92 00:03:54,053 --> 00:03:58,933 Speaker 3: It's just going to discretionary tasering around idiotic things that 93 00:03:58,973 --> 00:03:59,413 Speaker 3: people do. 94 00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:01,653 Speaker 4: I think I Mike can bring that up with Mark 95 00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:04,053 Speaker 4: and Jenny at the next Wednesday roundup. That'll be good. 96 00:04:04,173 --> 00:04:07,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't see any problems at all, any fishucks 97 00:04:07,053 --> 00:04:09,973 Speaker 2: for that a way, That's not what we're talking about today. 98 00:04:09,773 --> 00:04:11,813 Speaker 4: Is it, Tyler. No, what we are talking about today, 99 00:04:11,813 --> 00:04:13,333 Speaker 4: it's going to be a dooozy of a show after 100 00:04:13,373 --> 00:04:15,893 Speaker 4: three o'clock. We were talking about firewood a couple of 101 00:04:15,973 --> 00:04:18,093 Speaker 4: days ago. Moved into a new place. There's a fireplace, 102 00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:23,013 Speaker 4: proper fireplace there, but I was a little bit surprised 103 00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:25,533 Speaker 4: by the amount of options out there for fine firewood. 104 00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:27,093 Speaker 4: It wasn't what it used to be when I was 105 00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:28,173 Speaker 4: a kid. So that's what we're going to have a 106 00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:31,133 Speaker 4: chat about buying firewood. Have you still got an open fireplace? 107 00:04:31,173 --> 00:04:32,053 Speaker 4: How common are they? 108 00:04:32,253 --> 00:04:34,053 Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of texts coming through on us, so there 109 00:04:34,133 --> 00:04:36,213 Speaker 2: was yesterday, but we didn't talk about it yesterday. So 110 00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,253 Speaker 2: people were so excited about firewood, we decided to talk 111 00:04:38,293 --> 00:04:39,053 Speaker 2: about it today. 112 00:04:39,653 --> 00:04:44,333 Speaker 3: But yeah, that'll be after three. Look at that. 113 00:04:44,533 --> 00:04:46,173 Speaker 2: Just a bunch of tecks came through on fireward just then. 114 00:04:46,213 --> 00:04:47,293 Speaker 2: But I'm not going to read that. I'm going to 115 00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:48,013 Speaker 2: move on to the next topic. 116 00:04:48,013 --> 00:04:49,613 Speaker 4: We're going to save that for three o'clock. That's going 117 00:04:49,653 --> 00:04:52,093 Speaker 4: to be a doozy after two o'clock. A big cockup, 118 00:04:52,133 --> 00:04:54,853 Speaker 4: no doubt about it. New Zealand's newest fire trucks meant 119 00:04:54,893 --> 00:04:57,733 Speaker 4: to be the backbone of emergency response. They've run into 120 00:04:57,773 --> 00:05:00,213 Speaker 4: a major problem. So five year, after five years and 121 00:05:00,253 --> 00:05:03,053 Speaker 4: millions of bucks spent twenty eight of these medium sized trucks. 122 00:05:03,213 --> 00:05:05,453 Speaker 4: They were built in Britain. They've arrived here, but the 123 00:05:05,493 --> 00:05:08,253 Speaker 4: problem is they can't fit all the essential firefighting and re. 124 00:05:09,053 --> 00:05:12,493 Speaker 2: Can you imagine that when you realize that mistake you've made. 125 00:05:12,533 --> 00:05:16,093 Speaker 2: So you've got these flash trucks and you were so. 126 00:05:15,933 --> 00:05:18,133 Speaker 3: Excited to get them out, and then you realize that 127 00:05:19,613 --> 00:05:21,693 Speaker 3: either the people that have ordered them from this end 128 00:05:21,893 --> 00:05:26,173 Speaker 3: or the people that have put them together in the 129 00:05:26,293 --> 00:05:29,213 Speaker 3: UK have cocked it up such that they can't do 130 00:05:29,253 --> 00:05:30,413 Speaker 3: what you need them to do. 131 00:05:31,173 --> 00:05:34,293 Speaker 4: So, yeah, what would you do? I mean, generally, if 132 00:05:34,293 --> 00:05:37,093 Speaker 4: that was me, I'd change my name, I'd leave the country. 133 00:05:37,373 --> 00:05:40,013 Speaker 4: I mean, just imagine that feeling millions and millions of 134 00:05:40,053 --> 00:05:43,133 Speaker 4: dollars spend and then you realize that. I mean, it's 135 00:05:43,173 --> 00:05:45,933 Speaker 4: got to the point where some of the firehouses aren't 136 00:05:45,933 --> 00:05:47,453 Speaker 4: actually using the trucks, so they've just parked them up 137 00:05:47,493 --> 00:05:48,693 Speaker 4: because I say, we can't use them. 138 00:05:48,853 --> 00:05:53,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think if you, if you dig down 139 00:05:53,013 --> 00:05:55,693 Speaker 2: into this, both both sides were responsible for this cockup, 140 00:05:56,293 --> 00:05:58,733 Speaker 2: both the way they were ordered and the way they 141 00:05:58,733 --> 00:06:01,133 Speaker 2: were configured on the other on the other end. But 142 00:06:01,213 --> 00:06:05,573 Speaker 2: either way, you know that that's not great. So we 143 00:06:05,613 --> 00:06:08,333 Speaker 2: want to talk about cockups. I heard some people bring 144 00:06:08,413 --> 00:06:12,333 Speaker 2: through on Kerry Wooden's show this morning about some classic cockups, 145 00:06:12,493 --> 00:06:14,533 Speaker 2: not just governmental ones, and there's a lot of those 146 00:06:14,573 --> 00:06:17,293 Speaker 2: out there, and there's a lot of council cockups. I 147 00:06:17,373 --> 00:06:20,773 Speaker 2: gotta be careful. I nearly said that differently. Maybe I did. 148 00:06:20,813 --> 00:06:23,853 Speaker 2: I'll find out in a minute. But anyway, there's a 149 00:06:23,853 --> 00:06:27,213 Speaker 2: lot of council ones, but there's one in business, and 150 00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:29,653 Speaker 2: I think we've got to accept that everyone. 151 00:06:29,333 --> 00:06:32,013 Speaker 3: Is capable of one. Right, Yeah, everyone is capable. 152 00:06:32,053 --> 00:06:35,693 Speaker 2: And ulshear a couple that I've some absolute shocking, large 153 00:06:35,693 --> 00:06:38,773 Speaker 2: scale mistakes that I've made that when your full magnitude 154 00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:42,653 Speaker 2: of what you've done, you know, arrives in your mind, 155 00:06:42,693 --> 00:06:47,013 Speaker 2: when you work it out, it's just the humiliation, the desperation, 156 00:06:47,373 --> 00:06:51,173 Speaker 2: the despair, it all covers you. 157 00:06:51,533 --> 00:06:53,813 Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to those stories, that is after two o'clock. 158 00:06:53,813 --> 00:06:55,933 Speaker 4: But right now let's have a chat about tramadol. There's 159 00:06:55,933 --> 00:06:58,853 Speaker 4: been a sharp rise in prescriptions of the drug, more 160 00:06:58,893 --> 00:07:01,933 Speaker 4: than two one hundred and seventy thousand kiwis we're given 161 00:07:01,973 --> 00:07:05,373 Speaker 4: the drug last year. So tramadol, it's often prescribed before 162 00:07:05,453 --> 00:07:07,973 Speaker 4: or after surgery to manage pain, but as many of 163 00:07:08,013 --> 00:07:11,533 Speaker 4: us know, can become incredibly addictive when used over long periods. 164 00:07:12,133 --> 00:07:15,013 Speaker 4: Recent workplace drug testing shows tramadol was now making up 165 00:07:15,013 --> 00:07:22,213 Speaker 4: over three percent of opioid detections. Yeah, so tramadol is 166 00:07:22,773 --> 00:07:25,253 Speaker 4: a more powerful drug than people think it is. And 167 00:07:25,293 --> 00:07:27,133 Speaker 4: I've got personal experience with it. I was on it 168 00:07:27,133 --> 00:07:28,173 Speaker 4: for a long time. 169 00:07:28,373 --> 00:07:32,973 Speaker 2: With a back injury pop my back out relapsed my 170 00:07:33,133 --> 00:07:36,933 Speaker 2: spine while boxing, and which is an odd injury for boxing. 171 00:07:36,973 --> 00:07:38,813 Speaker 4: But I won't go too far into the details there. 172 00:07:39,573 --> 00:07:42,053 Speaker 2: And I was on tramidol for a long time and 173 00:07:42,533 --> 00:07:45,373 Speaker 2: it is powerful and I got addicted to the drug. 174 00:07:45,973 --> 00:07:48,813 Speaker 2: So I think people need to realize when they take 175 00:07:48,853 --> 00:07:51,893 Speaker 2: that drug that it is hard. 176 00:07:51,613 --> 00:07:52,213 Speaker 4: To get off it. 177 00:07:52,653 --> 00:07:55,733 Speaker 3: It's you know, it feels bloody good at the time. 178 00:07:56,653 --> 00:07:59,253 Speaker 2: I mean, I had a fantastic year on it, but 179 00:07:59,533 --> 00:08:02,253 Speaker 2: a terrible terrible time getting off it. 180 00:08:02,253 --> 00:08:05,133 Speaker 4: It's a long time a year, yeah, because I think 181 00:08:05,173 --> 00:08:08,093 Speaker 4: you know certainly people who even if they prescribe same 182 00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:10,773 Speaker 4: month worth, Yeah, that's still enough to get pretty heavily addicted. 183 00:08:10,933 --> 00:08:11,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. 184 00:08:11,213 --> 00:08:13,533 Speaker 2: Well, my operations kept going to getting moved and the 185 00:08:13,573 --> 00:08:15,733 Speaker 2: pain was intense, so I just kept going and going 186 00:08:15,733 --> 00:08:17,813 Speaker 2: and going, and then the cold turkey on it was intense. 187 00:08:17,933 --> 00:08:18,853 Speaker 3: Yeah. 188 00:08:18,133 --> 00:08:21,573 Speaker 4: So can you hear your stories tramadol?

Plus I take some herrible stuff, but I 252 00:11:24,732 --> 00:11:28,013 Speaker 8: can't smoke stuff at all. So I take some gummies 253 00:11:28,333 --> 00:11:32,173 Speaker 8: because the PC they prescribed as rubbish.

By the time this went on 670 00:30:19,173 --> 00:30:21,853 Speaker 9: for about a year, and for the last three months 671 00:30:21,893 --> 00:30:25,613 Speaker 9: before with surgery, I had an absolute pharmacy of painkillers 672 00:30:25,653 --> 00:30:30,333 Speaker 9: next to my bedside from I had Gabba, Penton's, pregabalin, 673 00:30:30,573 --> 00:30:35,453 Speaker 9: liquid morphine, oxy codines, and. 674 00:30:37,213 --> 00:30:38,013 Speaker 3: Even wow. 675 00:30:38,453 --> 00:30:44,173 Speaker 9: Yeah, I had everything and an absolute agony twenty four 676 00:30:44,173 --> 00:30:48,133 Speaker 9: to seven, and I was would say to my doctor 677 00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:49,893 Speaker 9: that they were just about to sem me off to 678 00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:52,893 Speaker 9: the pain clinic because the doctors can only go so far. 679 00:30:53,413 --> 00:30:56,173 Speaker 9: Then I think, if I remember, there's about four steps 680 00:30:56,653 --> 00:30:59,733 Speaker 9: that they can take you along and then you've got 681 00:30:59,813 --> 00:31:03,773 Speaker 9: to go to the pain clinic. But my surgery came 682 00:31:03,853 --> 00:31:05,413 Speaker 9: in and I was really scared I was going to 683 00:31:05,453 --> 00:31:07,813 Speaker 9: be hooked because like you, Matt, I had the cob 684 00:31:07,933 --> 00:31:11,573 Speaker 9: webs or over my face twenty four seven, your fingernails, 685 00:31:11,733 --> 00:31:17,813 Speaker 9: everything was just you knew that you were taking heroin basically, 686 00:31:17,933 --> 00:31:22,173 Speaker 9: you know, And I wake up from my surgery, I 687 00:31:22,373 --> 00:31:26,693 Speaker 9: was pain free and didn't need them. 688 00:31:27,293 --> 00:31:27,973 Speaker 3: You just didn't need them. 689 00:31:27,973 --> 00:31:32,573 Speaker 9: Wow was that never had anything? And other say I 690 00:31:32,813 --> 00:31:35,213 Speaker 9: was swallowing a handful of pills at two o'clock in 691 00:31:35,253 --> 00:31:39,173 Speaker 9: the morning because you know, there's only so much talor 692 00:31:39,253 --> 00:31:42,453 Speaker 9: you could watch and I would I would overdose and 693 00:31:42,533 --> 00:31:44,733 Speaker 9: I'd knock them back with the mouthful of the morphine. 694 00:31:45,733 --> 00:31:47,853 Speaker 9: I was in a really bad way. But after my 695 00:31:47,973 --> 00:31:51,493 Speaker 9: surgery and I was pain free, never needed. 696 00:31:51,253 --> 00:31:53,373 Speaker 3: Them, So that's so that's so interesting. 697 00:31:53,493 --> 00:31:56,373 Speaker 2: So the surgery happened, so the pain that was causing 698 00:31:56,453 --> 00:31:59,773 Speaker 2: you to need to take these painkillers had gone, but 699 00:31:59,973 --> 00:32:04,133 Speaker 2: you didn't experience any addiction, not not one. 700 00:32:04,253 --> 00:32:07,093 Speaker 9: And when I was speaking to my doctor, he said, 701 00:32:07,653 --> 00:32:12,413 Speaker 9: you needed them, right. And I think there's a lot 702 00:32:12,533 --> 00:32:17,173 Speaker 9: of people out there that I think, what not everybody. 703 00:32:17,213 --> 00:32:19,373 Speaker 9: There's a lot of genuine cases, but I think there's 704 00:32:19,413 --> 00:32:22,893 Speaker 9: a lot of people that use pain as an excuse 705 00:32:23,093 --> 00:32:25,413 Speaker 9: to get to keep drugs. Well. 706 00:32:25,413 --> 00:32:27,613 Speaker 2: I think I think it's really hard for doctors to 707 00:32:27,893 --> 00:32:32,293 Speaker 2: deny someone if they're saying they're in pain. Absolutely that's 708 00:32:32,293 --> 00:32:33,853 Speaker 2: the problem because so someone comes and says, I've got 709 00:32:33,933 --> 00:32:37,333 Speaker 2: terrible back pain on this pain and the doctors, you know, 710 00:32:37,453 --> 00:32:39,773 Speaker 2: do they deny that you've got pain. So it's very 711 00:32:39,813 --> 00:32:41,213 Speaker 2: easy to gain the system, isn't it. 712 00:32:41,453 --> 00:32:41,653 Speaker 4: Yeah? 713 00:32:41,973 --> 00:32:44,493 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean my injury was similar to yours, Matt, 714 00:32:44,893 --> 00:32:49,893 Speaker 9: you know, pro lapsed and broken disks and the nerves. 715 00:32:49,973 --> 00:32:51,693 Speaker 9: You know. I had to have a stick in the 716 00:32:51,813 --> 00:32:54,253 Speaker 9: bed because the blankets couldn't touch me from the waist down. 717 00:32:54,293 --> 00:32:58,933 Speaker 9: But it was an agony with the nerve and it's brutal, 718 00:33:00,173 --> 00:33:03,733 Speaker 9: but you could you do whatever you could to have 719 00:33:03,973 --> 00:33:07,813 Speaker 9: forty minutes of nothing. I'm talking about, man, And that's 720 00:33:07,853 --> 00:33:09,893 Speaker 9: the danger. But when you wake up from surgery and 721 00:33:09,973 --> 00:33:12,413 Speaker 9: your pain free, Man, what a feeling. 722 00:33:12,213 --> 00:33:13,413 Speaker 4: Matters, Craig. 723 00:33:13,613 --> 00:33:16,293 Speaker 2: I woke up from surgery and when they find the 724 00:33:16,373 --> 00:33:18,293 Speaker 2: surgery was finally done and I was fixed and the 725 00:33:18,453 --> 00:33:21,773 Speaker 2: pain should have been gone.

Your experience on pain clinics. 754 00:34:43,613 --> 00:34:47,933 Speaker 24: Yeah, I guess. I'm I had several years of needing 755 00:34:48,973 --> 00:34:53,773 Speaker 24: pain treatments for our pigus, and so I've got the 756 00:34:53,853 --> 00:34:57,533 Speaker 24: foll experience of the I guess the text that's available 757 00:34:57,533 --> 00:35:03,333 Speaker 24: in museums. So from an adult, I approfence codeinged Tramadol 758 00:35:04,693 --> 00:35:09,293 Speaker 24: spiritual you know, morphe that kind of stuff and kind 759 00:35:09,333 --> 00:35:11,213 Speaker 24: of picked out and a lot of going to the 760 00:35:11,293 --> 00:35:15,213 Speaker 24: pain clin it. And I thought my experience and the 761 00:35:15,293 --> 00:35:17,653 Speaker 24: pain clin it is going to be access to, you know, 762 00:35:17,773 --> 00:35:21,573 Speaker 24: some other kind of drugs that went otherwise available. But 763 00:35:21,893 --> 00:35:23,172 Speaker 24: it's not that at all. 764 00:35:25,053 --> 00:35:26,373 Speaker 20: What they end up just. 765 00:35:28,293 --> 00:35:34,653 Speaker 24: Teaching you as that it's just mental and so you 766 00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:38,293 Speaker 24: don't actually get access to any kind of different product. 767 00:35:38,973 --> 00:35:43,573 Speaker 24: You just get techniques to better manage the pain mentally, right, 768 00:35:43,853 --> 00:35:47,173 Speaker 24: because pain's obviously two parts, right. You've got the sending 769 00:35:47,253 --> 00:35:49,933 Speaker 24: part of which is the nervous system, which is the 770 00:35:50,093 --> 00:35:53,293 Speaker 24: signal that's coming from the area that's in pain. That's 771 00:35:53,293 --> 00:35:55,573 Speaker 24: the physical part, and then you've got the psychological part, 772 00:35:55,933 --> 00:35:58,893 Speaker 24: which is the mental response to it. So all of 773 00:35:58,973 --> 00:36:02,213 Speaker 24: the drugs that we have available in our toolkit, they 774 00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:04,973 Speaker 24: work on the mental part of it. So that's why 775 00:36:05,053 --> 00:36:08,333 Speaker 24: you end up with so many people having different side 776 00:36:08,333 --> 00:36:13,213 Speaker 24: ecological responses because the drugs are actually interacting with the 777 00:36:13,373 --> 00:36:16,093 Speaker 24: mental side of your brain and how it receives the 778 00:36:16,173 --> 00:36:21,373 Speaker 24: pain signals. So the takeout of it was I have 779 00:36:21,773 --> 00:36:24,613 Speaker 24: my pain by mentally controlling it. 780 00:36:26,093 --> 00:36:29,453 Speaker 3: What are the basic you know, what are the basic 781 00:36:29,573 --> 00:36:33,133 Speaker 3: method methods for doing that? Andrew, there's a. 782 00:36:33,253 --> 00:36:35,773 Speaker 24: There's a tool kit that you learn, right, but it's 783 00:36:35,933 --> 00:36:39,093 Speaker 24: much in the same way that you treat anxiety. So 784 00:36:40,133 --> 00:36:42,493 Speaker 24: if you're lying in bed and you're thinking about your 785 00:36:42,573 --> 00:36:45,133 Speaker 24: pain and you've got nothing else going on, you focus 786 00:36:45,213 --> 00:36:49,133 Speaker 24: on the pain. So to teach you distraction techniques, breathing techniques, 787 00:36:49,293 --> 00:36:55,653 Speaker 24: calming techniques, ways of controlling the vagual nerves so that 788 00:36:56,093 --> 00:36:59,093 Speaker 24: fight and flight response. And you know, if you kind 789 00:36:59,133 --> 00:37:01,053 Speaker 24: of get some pain, you're get an adrenaline rush, and 790 00:37:01,053 --> 00:37:05,493 Speaker 24: the adrenaline rush amplifies the pain response, so your body 791 00:37:05,573 --> 00:37:09,453 Speaker 24: can be more reactive to the pain. So it's about 792 00:37:09,613 --> 00:37:14,373 Speaker 24: controlling all of your body's response to the pain to 793 00:37:14,493 --> 00:37:19,413 Speaker 24: calm it down through the breathing, exercise, distraction, all those 794 00:37:19,453 --> 00:37:22,933 Speaker 24: kind of techniques that they would teach you and managing anxiety. 795 00:37:23,893 --> 00:37:26,253 Speaker 2: And so and so does this work with along with 796 00:37:26,773 --> 00:37:30,133 Speaker 2: pain killers or is this enough just doing that for 797 00:37:30,413 --> 00:37:31,333 Speaker 2: you to deal with your pain? 798 00:37:32,693 --> 00:37:36,773 Speaker 24: For me, I needed a mix of both. Antient This 799 00:37:36,973 --> 00:37:40,093 Speaker 24: was this was severe art lighter side crippling. I couldn't walk. 800 00:37:41,173 --> 00:37:45,613 Speaker 24: Needed needed a bilateral hYP replacement in a public health system, 801 00:37:45,653 --> 00:37:47,453 Speaker 24: and I didn't get access to it for three years, 802 00:37:47,573 --> 00:37:49,973 Speaker 24: so I was almost bed with him for a lot 803 00:37:50,053 --> 00:37:52,933 Speaker 24: of that time. But what I ended up finding out 804 00:37:53,093 --> 00:37:54,973 Speaker 24: when I was in the pain when it was so 805 00:37:55,213 --> 00:37:58,133 Speaker 24: many of the people in there were leaning into the 806 00:37:58,213 --> 00:38:03,053 Speaker 24: drugs that they liked or that they preferred, and so 807 00:38:03,253 --> 00:38:05,973 Speaker 24: they didn't actually necessarily need these drugs, but they are 808 00:38:07,133 --> 00:38:11,053 Speaker 24: a toll on the toolkit and psychologically they might have 809 00:38:11,133 --> 00:38:15,973 Speaker 24: felt better in some but also some had as you've 810 00:38:16,173 --> 00:38:22,373 Speaker 24: sort of described, these unintended side effects from these pain drugs. 811 00:38:22,453 --> 00:38:24,373 Speaker 24: And it's not that anyone as good or anyone is 812 00:38:24,413 --> 00:38:28,493 Speaker 24: bad or better than another. It's just that what's right 813 00:38:28,653 --> 00:38:32,292 Speaker 24: to your own minds chemistry, and that's different from person 814 00:38:32,373 --> 00:38:34,413 Speaker 24: to person, right, So some people get addicted like in 815 00:38:34,493 --> 00:38:37,613 Speaker 24: your place. Other people have no response to it, and 816 00:38:37,733 --> 00:38:40,533 Speaker 24: other people it's the best thing that it's ever ever been. 817 00:38:40,653 --> 00:38:45,453 Speaker 24: So that's really a case of tailoring the right medication 818 00:38:45,573 --> 00:38:49,172 Speaker 24: to the right person. And that's why, you know, there 819 00:38:49,253 --> 00:38:51,613 Speaker 24: just needs to be tools and the toolcat for doctors. 820 00:38:52,213 --> 00:38:53,853 Speaker 24: And then they take you on some and off some 821 00:38:54,013 --> 00:38:58,212 Speaker 24: and actually antidepression drugs, even though for pain, the same 822 00:38:58,293 --> 00:39:01,613 Speaker 24: gods that they prescribe for antidepression are the same ones 823 00:39:01,693 --> 00:39:06,453 Speaker 24: they do the pain management. So you know, it's just 824 00:39:06,613 --> 00:39:08,053 Speaker 24: it's a toolkit for doctors to use. 825 00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:10,613 Speaker 3: The thank you so much for your call Andrew. I 826 00:39:10,693 --> 00:39:13,293 Speaker 3: was definitely in that camp where I found one that I. 827 00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:15,853 Speaker 4: Really liked and then really massively leaned into it. 828 00:39:16,213 --> 00:39:19,093 Speaker 2: And you know, if I'm absolutely honest, when I was 829 00:39:19,413 --> 00:39:22,453 Speaker 2: on the tramadole, I was loving the tramadol.

Good question, do the test for 871 00:41:11,893 --> 00:41:14,693 Speaker 2: pain killers? Because because that is that I guess that is. 872 00:41:15,253 --> 00:41:17,493 Speaker 2: I mean, I've got no idea actually, but that has 873 00:41:17,573 --> 00:41:20,613 Speaker 2: performance and harmit heart. It's kind of like being that 874 00:41:20,773 --> 00:41:24,613 Speaker 2: character kick ass if you've got no fantastic movie. Yeah, 875 00:41:24,893 --> 00:41:26,493 Speaker 2: but if you can feel no pain, that's kind of 876 00:41:26,533 --> 00:41:28,453 Speaker 2: a it's kind of a hard power. 877 00:41:29,053 --> 00:41:31,533 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty 878 00:41:31,693 --> 00:41:32,692 Speaker 4: is the number to call. 879 00:41:33,893 --> 00:41:36,173 Speaker 3: Bruce, Welcome to the show. Your thoughts on tramadol? 880 00:41:37,053 --> 00:41:39,933 Speaker 25: Yeah, Hi, I was one of those third that it 881 00:41:40,133 --> 00:41:43,493 Speaker 25: had no effect on them, so it didn't didn't do 882 00:41:43,573 --> 00:41:46,293 Speaker 25: anything for me. But I had my I had some 883 00:41:47,333 --> 00:41:50,093 Speaker 25: joints replaced in Australia, I had a hip joint replaced 884 00:41:50,133 --> 00:41:52,893 Speaker 25: and I became addicted to oxy conton. 885 00:41:53,733 --> 00:41:55,733 Speaker 4: It's famous one. Yeah. 886 00:41:55,813 --> 00:41:59,853 Speaker 25: It started in twoy and eleven when I had it, 887 00:42:00,093 --> 00:42:03,853 Speaker 25: had a hip replaced. In recovery, they give you an 888 00:42:03,893 --> 00:42:06,773 Speaker 25: Eppie dural and they give you a morphine pump. I 889 00:42:06,813 --> 00:42:08,533 Speaker 25: don't know what whether they do it. This was on 890 00:42:08,613 --> 00:42:13,293 Speaker 25: Australian hospitals and yourself manage this morphine pump so when 891 00:42:13,333 --> 00:42:15,773 Speaker 25: your pain level goes up you give the morphine a 892 00:42:15,853 --> 00:42:20,533 Speaker 25: pump and you get morphine to the epidural into your body, 893 00:42:22,053 --> 00:42:25,733 Speaker 25: and you know, you find your tolerance for pain becomes 894 00:42:25,853 --> 00:42:29,493 Speaker 25: less and less as you start squeezing the squeezing it, 895 00:42:29,573 --> 00:42:32,493 Speaker 25: so you actually have a slight addiction to morphine when 896 00:42:32,493 --> 00:42:37,093 Speaker 25: you come out. And there was no talk of tramadol 897 00:42:37,173 --> 00:42:41,533 Speaker 25: back then. This is twenty eleven. The drug they gave 898 00:42:41,653 --> 00:42:45,773 Speaker 25: me for a cover was in down and paracetamol, and 899 00:42:45,973 --> 00:42:47,493 Speaker 25: I had that for a while and I went to 900 00:42:47,613 --> 00:42:51,053 Speaker 25: my GP and I said, all the pain's not you've 901 00:42:51,053 --> 00:42:53,333 Speaker 25: got and he said, well, look, the next one is OxyContin. 902 00:42:54,053 --> 00:42:57,293 Speaker 25: And we started off with ten milligrams and that was okay, 903 00:42:57,453 --> 00:43:02,213 Speaker 25: and then twenty milligrams. And I really empathized with what. 904 00:43:02,293 --> 00:43:02,772 Speaker 8: You were saying. 905 00:43:02,813 --> 00:43:06,812 Speaker 25: I had a wonderful year on it, but I knew, 906 00:43:06,893 --> 00:43:10,252 Speaker 25: I knew I was in when I thought, I can't 907 00:43:10,293 --> 00:43:12,773 Speaker 25: go back to the doctor and asked for fifty milligrams. 908 00:43:12,773 --> 00:43:16,093 Speaker 25: I've gone from ten to twenty thirty. But the plaine 909 00:43:16,133 --> 00:43:20,252 Speaker 25: should be getting better and it's getting worse. So that's 910 00:43:20,293 --> 00:43:23,333 Speaker 25: when I that's when I had to quit. But the 911 00:43:23,453 --> 00:43:25,573 Speaker 25: way you quit with having a bottle there is just 912 00:43:25,733 --> 00:43:28,973 Speaker 25: it's awesome strength, mate, anyone that has had an addiction 913 00:43:29,133 --> 00:43:30,493 Speaker 25: to pharmaceutical or drugs. 914 00:43:31,653 --> 00:43:33,053 Speaker 17: That's really ballsy, mate. 915 00:43:33,093 --> 00:43:36,093 Speaker 25: To do that, that's you know, I imagine how you. 916 00:43:36,093 --> 00:43:36,573 Speaker 17: Could do that. 917 00:43:37,013 --> 00:43:39,973 Speaker 3: It was it was horrible, It was it was the worst. 918 00:43:40,013 --> 00:43:42,973 Speaker 4: It was crazy.

Years no one I was going in 952 00:45:04,253 --> 00:45:10,093 Speaker 25: for surgery. But in Australia they they don't prescribe tramadol 953 00:45:10,413 --> 00:45:14,373 Speaker 25: hardly at all, because I think of the adverse effects 954 00:45:14,493 --> 00:45:19,013 Speaker 25: that the pain relief here seems to be tramadol and coding, 955 00:45:20,573 --> 00:45:22,613 Speaker 25: which when you've got it, and when you've got that deep, 956 00:45:22,773 --> 00:45:27,333 Speaker 25: throbbing internal pain of a joint, you really need something 957 00:45:28,173 --> 00:45:31,333 Speaker 25: pretty major.

I was on crutches. But once again I 963 00:45:51,813 --> 00:45:54,373 Speaker 25: was put on the oxy continent because the tramadol didn't work, 964 00:45:55,013 --> 00:45:56,853 Speaker 25: and it was once again.

Yeah, I see 1501 01:10:47,013 --> 01:10:49,293 Speaker 2: these pictures of my son at that time, and I'm 1502 01:10:49,333 --> 01:10:51,572 Speaker 2: like with me, and I'm like, I don't remember that. Yeah, 1503 01:10:51,692 --> 01:10:52,253 Speaker 2: I don't remember that. 1504 01:10:52,333 --> 01:10:52,892 Speaker 4: It was the guy. 1505 01:10:52,933 --> 01:10:53,173 Speaker 3: I mean. 1506 01:10:54,253 --> 01:10:57,492 Speaker 4: The concerning thing is I was still broadcasting a radio 1507 01:10:57,572 --> 01:11:02,773 Speaker 4: show every day. Yeah, no memory of a functioning Richard's 1508 01:11:02,973 --> 01:11:06,333 Speaker 4: how are you hey, Richard? 1509 01:11:07,173 --> 01:11:08,692 Speaker 19: Yes, I'm here mate. 1510 01:11:08,732 --> 01:11:11,732 Speaker 4: Now what's your experience with tramadol? By the sounds of it, 1511 01:11:11,933 --> 01:11:12,732 Speaker 4: it wasn't so good. 1512 01:11:14,572 --> 01:11:17,932 Speaker 19: No, it wasn't so good. It was actually oxy content, 1513 01:11:19,173 --> 01:11:23,852 Speaker 19: which is an opioid anyway, as you probably know. But 1514 01:11:24,053 --> 01:11:33,253 Speaker 19: mine started off through medical medical misadventure, which then transpired 1515 01:11:33,452 --> 01:11:39,133 Speaker 19: to be an unexpected outcome according to my GP. Okay, 1516 01:11:39,333 --> 01:11:43,973 Speaker 19: and you suggested that I filed for ACC What. 1517 01:11:44,133 --> 01:11:46,772 Speaker 3: Was the medical What was the medical misadventure if you 1518 01:11:46,853 --> 01:11:51,572 Speaker 3: don't mind sharing, right? A biopsy that went. 1519 01:11:51,532 --> 01:11:56,813 Speaker 14: Wrong, A biopsy that had flowers of nerves okay, okay. 1520 01:11:56,933 --> 01:11:59,452 Speaker 19: Causing chronic original pain syndrome. 1521 01:11:59,732 --> 01:12:00,852 Speaker 3: Wow, that's unfortunate. 1522 01:12:02,173 --> 01:12:02,412 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1523 01:12:02,612 --> 01:12:09,812 Speaker 19: At that stage, I had already resigned from my own 1524 01:12:09,973 --> 01:12:15,852 Speaker 19: company because I felt I was a liability to everyone, 1525 01:12:17,572 --> 01:12:18,932 Speaker 19: including the port company. 1526 01:12:19,893 --> 01:12:21,813 Speaker 3: Do you do the pain that you're experiencing? 1527 01:12:22,612 --> 01:12:29,012 Speaker 19: Yes? Yes, yes, And by that stage, I had seen 1528 01:12:30,612 --> 01:12:40,093 Speaker 19: a pain specialist who was arregistered an ethicist doctor. Now 1529 01:12:40,213 --> 01:12:43,893 Speaker 19: I was suspicious of this guy from the get go. Anyhow, 1530 01:12:44,173 --> 01:12:53,132 Speaker 19: he prescribed oxycontum No, he didn't describe prescribe it. Originally, 1531 01:12:53,692 --> 01:12:58,612 Speaker 19: he carried a rather large leather doctor's bag and he 1532 01:12:58,732 --> 01:13:02,293 Speaker 19: gave me these pills and that's what aroused my suspicion 1533 01:13:03,133 --> 01:13:12,173 Speaker 19: because they were all off label. It's away, yeah, very big. 1534 01:13:13,372 --> 01:13:16,812 Speaker 19: But anyhow, I went back to him, this is under 1535 01:13:16,853 --> 01:13:22,213 Speaker 19: ACC supervision because he was an ACC pain specialist, and thought, oh, well, 1536 01:13:22,293 --> 01:13:25,653 Speaker 19: what the hell do I know? And then he prescribed 1537 01:13:25,732 --> 01:13:33,132 Speaker 19: oxy content. Now, whatever anyone does, don't touch for stuff 1538 01:13:33,893 --> 01:13:38,213 Speaker 19: unless you're under twenty four hour medical supervision. Don't take 1539 01:13:38,293 --> 01:13:44,333 Speaker 19: the stuff home because it will wreck your life, literally, 1540 01:13:45,293 --> 01:13:50,173 Speaker 19: your marriage and kids' relationships, the whole thing. Anyhows on 1541 01:13:50,333 --> 01:13:56,213 Speaker 19: the stuff five years and then my GP said, hey, look, 1542 01:13:58,572 --> 01:14:03,293 Speaker 19: your health is going downhill rapidly, and I predicted the 1543 01:14:04,253 --> 01:14:09,692 Speaker 19: oxy con. He said, there is own solution, he said. 1544 01:14:09,732 --> 01:14:13,093 Speaker 19: I said, it's really beyond me. But I had a 1545 01:14:13,612 --> 01:14:20,372 Speaker 19: friend that I went through medical school with and he 1546 01:14:20,893 --> 01:14:26,213 Speaker 19: is a clinical psychiatrist. Anyhow, he got me into him 1547 01:14:26,933 --> 01:14:29,492 Speaker 19: and he was in Auckland, and there was no way 1548 01:14:29,492 --> 01:14:31,093 Speaker 19: I was going to drive up. So I flew up 1549 01:14:31,093 --> 01:14:33,093 Speaker 19: and took a technic from the airport to his tread 1550 01:14:33,853 --> 01:14:37,572 Speaker 19: and he was horrified. At the time, I've been on 1551 01:14:37,973 --> 01:14:52,293 Speaker 19: oxy content and he prescribed alternative medication and it took 1552 01:14:52,372 --> 01:14:55,532 Speaker 19: two weeks for me to forget about the oxy content. 1553 01:14:56,612 --> 01:15:03,333 Speaker 19: And I still take some of the tablets for pain relief. 1554 01:15:04,572 --> 01:15:08,612 Speaker 19: Now he said to me, look, Richard, the chronic original 1555 01:15:08,732 --> 01:15:16,372 Speaker 19: pain syndrome will disappear. And that has disappeared. But to 1556 01:15:16,732 --> 01:15:21,932 Speaker 19: what really rubbed salt into a wound was I had 1557 01:15:21,973 --> 01:15:28,532 Speaker 19: a ahe a text from my ex wife because it 1558 01:15:28,692 --> 01:15:32,012 Speaker 19: was enough to bring up a marriage, and she said, 1559 01:15:32,093 --> 01:15:36,213 Speaker 19: do you wize this? I won't mention his name only 1560 01:15:36,253 --> 01:15:42,893 Speaker 19: for liability reason be registered. Now I said, yes, I do, 1561 01:15:43,692 --> 01:15:48,372 Speaker 19: because I got hold of the medical association. She said, well, 1562 01:15:48,412 --> 01:15:54,093 Speaker 19: he's now doing podcasts and he's written two books and 1563 01:15:55,772 --> 01:16:04,652 Speaker 19: has admitted that he is reformed addict. 1564 01:16:05,772 --> 01:16:08,892 Speaker 4: It sounds like you went through absolute hell and their journey. 1565 01:16:09,173 --> 01:16:13,372 Speaker 4: I mean some doctor who's now a podcast host saying 1566 01:16:13,372 --> 01:16:15,812 Speaker 4: they are reformed drug addict themselves. I mean, there's a 1567 01:16:15,853 --> 01:16:17,452 Speaker 4: lot of elements in that story. There's a lot in 1568 01:16:17,532 --> 01:16:20,093 Speaker 4: that story.

And fortunately, I 1590 01:17:27,412 --> 01:17:31,652 Speaker 2: have taken travidole for many years and very varying levels, 1591 01:17:31,973 --> 01:17:34,572 Speaker 2: so that unfortunately I've sort of there's no punctuation there. 1592 01:17:35,293 --> 01:17:37,372 Speaker 2: It's unfortunately that we're getting these calls, is what you say. 1593 01:17:37,532 --> 01:17:40,452 Speaker 2: I've taken tramadol for many years and varying levels for 1594 01:17:40,612 --> 01:17:43,253 Speaker 2: varying industries, and I'm currently on a strong dose following 1595 01:17:43,293 --> 01:17:46,532 Speaker 2: shoulder surgery. I have never experienced anything other than pain 1596 01:17:46,612 --> 01:17:49,293 Speaker 2: reduction using their product. I've always found it to be 1597 01:17:49,492 --> 01:17:52,412 Speaker 2: an extremely good pain medication. That said, my wife has 1598 01:17:53,532 --> 01:17:56,253 Speaker 2: one experience of the tramadole. She spun out completely and 1599 01:17:56,372 --> 01:17:59,213 Speaker 2: would never take it again after she saw strange creatures 1600 01:17:59,253 --> 01:18:01,532 Speaker 2: coming out of the walls. It would be nice if 1601 01:18:01,572 --> 01:18:04,372 Speaker 2: we were hearing a more balanced review from those that 1602 01:18:04,532 --> 01:18:05,252 Speaker 2: have a strong. 1603 01:18:05,053 --> 01:18:05,933 Speaker 3: Success story with it. 1604 01:18:06,372 --> 01:18:08,692 Speaker 2: As much as I've used it for many years in 1605 01:18:08,772 --> 01:18:10,852 Speaker 2: the warmer months of the year, I have absolutely no 1606 01:18:10,933 --> 01:18:15,293 Speaker 2: difficulties stopping taking the product with no air parent addiction 1607 01:18:15,612 --> 01:18:16,372 Speaker 2: side effects. 1608 01:18:16,652 --> 01:18:18,972 Speaker 4: Good show boys, will there you go?

When you're on it and 1614 01:18:29,093 --> 01:18:31,412 Speaker 3: you're trying to sleep, you feel very cozy in your bed. 1615 01:18:31,572 --> 01:18:35,053 Speaker 4: Yes, certainly too. Right, coming up after three o'clock, let's 1616 01:18:35,093 --> 01:18:37,972 Speaker 4: have a chat about firewoods. I am in the hunt 1617 01:18:38,013 --> 01:18:39,852 Speaker 4: for some firewood, but appears to be the wild West 1618 01:18:39,893 --> 01:18:41,013 Speaker 4: out there, so let's get into it. 1619 01:18:43,692 --> 01:18:47,972 Speaker 1: Your new home are instateful and entertaining talk. It's Mattie 1620 01:18:48,213 --> 01:18:51,492 Speaker 1: and Taylor Adams afternoons on News Talk. 1621 01:18:51,412 --> 01:18:55,093 Speaker 4: Savvy for a good afternoon. It is seven past three. 1622 01:18:55,173 --> 01:18:57,133 Speaker 4: Really good air of your company is always hope you're 1623 01:18:57,133 --> 01:18:59,452 Speaker 4: having a good Thursday afternoon. This is going to be 1624 01:18:59,492 --> 01:19:01,253 Speaker 4: a good discussion. We want to talk about firewood and 1625 01:19:01,372 --> 01:19:04,572 Speaker 4: fire places. So I've said it many times before and 1626 01:19:04,612 --> 01:19:06,532 Speaker 4: I'll say again. We just moved into this new place 1627 01:19:06,692 --> 01:19:10,253 Speaker 4: up in Auckland and turns out got a beautiful old 1628 01:19:10,412 --> 01:19:14,372 Speaker 4: existing fireplace and it is lovely. It's lovely. But when 1629 01:19:14,372 --> 01:19:17,492 Speaker 4: I moved in there, they kind of had those little 1630 01:19:17,532 --> 01:19:19,892 Speaker 4: wood bricks you can buy from Bunning stacked in there, 1631 01:19:20,293 --> 01:19:21,772 Speaker 4: and when we got and I thought, that's just a 1632 01:19:21,812 --> 01:19:23,972 Speaker 4: show piece. So I probably blocked up the chimney because, 1633 01:19:24,013 --> 01:19:26,372 Speaker 4: as I understood it, a lot of the fireplaces you 1634 01:19:26,412 --> 01:19:29,372 Speaker 4: couldn't use anymore. Then Rang the landlords said go for gold. 1635 01:19:29,452 --> 01:19:31,652 Speaker 4: So I was a happy boy. So I've gone down 1636 01:19:31,692 --> 01:19:34,293 Speaker 4: the quagmire of trying to figure out who can deliver 1637 01:19:34,372 --> 01:19:36,492 Speaker 4: me some firewood? What kind of firewood I need? There's 1638 01:19:36,492 --> 01:19:38,492 Speaker 4: a lot of options out there. Am I getting a 1639 01:19:38,532 --> 01:19:39,772 Speaker 4: good price? Pretty expensive? 1640 01:19:39,933 --> 01:19:40,692 Speaker 3: Pretty expensive? 1641 01:19:40,732 --> 01:19:43,532 Speaker 4: The old firewood? What are you trying to get, Cody, Well, 1642 01:19:43,612 --> 01:19:46,532 Speaker 4: that's the question.

Yeah, in doors outdoors. 1975 01:34:10,213 --> 01:34:11,892 Speaker 2: How much would I mean this? It's hard to say, 1976 01:34:11,933 --> 01:34:13,333 Speaker 2: I mean how long is a piece of rope? But 1977 01:34:14,013 --> 01:34:17,092 Speaker 2: say I've got a house and mountain and just to say. 1978 01:34:17,093 --> 01:34:18,572 Speaker 4: Just an example, and I'm thinking that. 1979 01:34:20,492 --> 01:34:23,253 Speaker 2: There's no chimney in there at the moment to go 1980 01:34:23,412 --> 01:34:26,133 Speaker 2: for a full like an open old school open fire 1981 01:34:26,372 --> 01:34:29,532 Speaker 2: with the chimney, what are we looking at? 1982 01:34:29,933 --> 01:34:31,133 Speaker 3: What sort of ballpipe trace? 1983 01:34:32,293 --> 01:34:35,572 Speaker 22: In mount Eden? You're probably looking open fires there are 1984 01:34:35,973 --> 01:34:38,372 Speaker 22: in every part of the country. There's different rules, and 1985 01:34:38,652 --> 01:34:40,492 Speaker 22: in the middle of the city you may not be 1986 01:34:40,532 --> 01:34:43,612 Speaker 22: able to get an open fire in a moment, but 1987 01:34:43,772 --> 01:34:45,692 Speaker 22: you can certainly have one outdoor. So you can get 1988 01:34:45,732 --> 01:34:48,932 Speaker 22: your open wood burning fixed by putting an outdoor fire 1989 01:34:49,013 --> 01:34:52,612 Speaker 22: on outside. And you can spend anywhere from as low 1990 01:34:52,692 --> 01:34:56,492 Speaker 22: as three to four grand for something from Bunnings, might 1991 01:34:56,532 --> 01:34:59,413 Speaker 22: attend all the way up to twenty five thirty thousands 1992 01:34:59,452 --> 01:35:02,572 Speaker 22: for something really really special and custom made. 1993 01:35:02,812 --> 01:35:04,892 Speaker 2: What do they care if it's indoor or outdoor, if 1994 01:35:04,933 --> 01:35:06,612 Speaker 2: it's the if they've got to or if they've got 1995 01:35:06,652 --> 01:35:08,053 Speaker 2: a problem with smoke, what does it matter? 1996 01:35:09,053 --> 01:35:09,812 Speaker 9: Yeah, I know that. 1997 01:35:09,973 --> 01:35:13,852 Speaker 22: The theory is in winter, when the conditions are a 1998 01:35:13,893 --> 01:35:17,772 Speaker 22: bit heavier outside atmosphere conditions, the smoke doesn't dissipate as well. 1999 01:35:18,853 --> 01:35:22,692 Speaker 22: But we've answered that with clean burning, clean airprooved clean 2000 01:35:22,732 --> 01:35:26,293 Speaker 22: burning with burners which burn a lot hotter and cleaner, 2001 01:35:26,853 --> 01:35:28,893 Speaker 22: and so we don't have that pollution problem in the 2002 01:35:28,973 --> 01:35:32,772 Speaker 22: cities like we used to. And then conversely, in the 2003 01:35:32,853 --> 01:35:36,852 Speaker 22: summer time, when you're using outdoor fires, the outdoor ambient 2004 01:35:36,893 --> 01:35:41,492 Speaker 22: temperatures a bit warmer, so that smoke disappears a lot easier. 2005 01:35:42,372 --> 01:35:44,692 Speaker 4: Now I'm not saying you do this, John, clearly you're 2006 01:35:44,732 --> 01:35:47,452 Speaker 4: a very good fireplace installer. But I have heard in 2007 01:35:47,492 --> 01:35:49,852 Speaker 4: places like christ you they get a bit silly about 2008 01:35:49,893 --> 01:35:52,012 Speaker 4: the new fireplaces. They wanted to ban it all because 2009 01:35:52,013 --> 01:35:54,452 Speaker 4: of smug or something for some reason. But I've heard 2010 01:35:54,492 --> 01:35:57,013 Speaker 4: people get around that that they just put in a 2011 01:35:57,093 --> 01:35:59,452 Speaker 4: pizza ruven fire out the back and it's not rarely 2012 01:35:59,532 --> 01:36:01,293 Speaker 4: for cooking pizzas. But as long as you say it's 2013 01:36:01,333 --> 01:36:04,052 Speaker 4: for cooking food, then you can install all we fireplace 2014 01:36:04,093 --> 01:36:05,532 Speaker 4: in the back garden. I mean that's kind of a 2015 01:36:05,572 --> 01:36:07,893 Speaker 4: little bit of a loophole there for some some regions. 2016 01:36:07,612 --> 01:36:12,852 Speaker 22: Right, yeah, so not even a loophole outdoor fires. They 2017 01:36:12,933 --> 01:36:15,253 Speaker 22: do sometimes specify that you can cook on that, But 2018 01:36:15,572 --> 01:36:22,492 Speaker 22: I don't know of any restrictions to outdoor outdoor woburning fires. No, No, 2019 01:36:22,732 --> 01:36:25,732 Speaker 22: that's that's no problem at all. And there's even in 2020 01:36:25,893 --> 01:36:30,372 Speaker 22: areas where there are stricter rules about wood burning, you know, 2021 01:36:30,492 --> 01:36:32,652 Speaker 22: and built ups in the years, there's lots and lots 2022 01:36:32,692 --> 01:36:35,333 Speaker 22: of cleaner woburning models that you. 2023 01:36:35,333 --> 01:36:35,932 Speaker 9: Can choose from. 2024 01:36:36,652 --> 01:36:39,852 Speaker 2: And do you install the gas fires with with the chimney, 2025 01:36:40,732 --> 01:36:43,372 Speaker 2: you know, not, rather than the sort of fake electrical fires, 2026 01:36:43,452 --> 01:36:43,772 Speaker 2: but the. 2027 01:36:45,692 --> 01:36:48,772 Speaker 22: Yep, yep, yep, we do. We do gas fires as well, 2028 01:36:48,973 --> 01:36:51,852 Speaker 22: just there's a little uncertainty with you know, supply of 2029 01:36:51,973 --> 01:36:56,572 Speaker 22: guests and you know, going to the future. But that 2030 01:36:56,692 --> 01:36:58,412 Speaker 22: could turn around just as quickly as well. 2031 01:36:58,612 --> 01:37:01,333 Speaker 3: But you would you in those completely fake electric ones 2032 01:37:01,372 --> 01:37:04,852 Speaker 3: that that's kind of like a TV screen if you. 2033 01:37:04,893 --> 01:37:09,012 Speaker 22: Want to just pre you know, so some TV screen 2034 01:37:09,093 --> 01:37:14,253 Speaker 22: watching fire. There are some realistic looking one. So I'm 2035 01:37:14,293 --> 01:37:17,772 Speaker 22: not I'm not big enough. And sometimes you can't put 2036 01:37:17,812 --> 01:37:20,053 Speaker 22: a floor a chimney up through a second story or 2037 01:37:20,053 --> 01:37:22,732 Speaker 22: apartment jot, So here's a place for them. 2038 01:37:23,293 --> 01:37:26,812 Speaker 2: What happens, John, if you install an outdoor fire, but 2039 01:37:26,853 --> 01:37:29,452 Speaker 2: you've got a sneaky hatch into the house and then 2040 01:37:29,492 --> 01:37:31,852 Speaker 2: a sneaky clothes hatch on the outdoor fire, and then 2041 01:37:31,933 --> 01:37:34,772 Speaker 2: suddenly this outdoor fire is actually an indoor fire. 2042 01:37:38,213 --> 01:37:40,452 Speaker 4: We love our loopholes in New Zealands, and that sounds 2043 01:37:40,492 --> 01:37:41,013 Speaker 4: like a good one. 2044 01:37:41,452 --> 01:37:44,053 Speaker 3: I'll keep your number, John, and we'll talk about that.

I'm actually a dealer. I've been supplying and 2185 01:43:52,973 --> 01:43:56,093 Speaker 11: installing woodburners and christ Church for the last almost twenty 2186 01:43:56,213 --> 01:43:58,612 Speaker 11: years now, and I'm what we call a woodsman agent. 2187 01:43:58,732 --> 01:44:01,253 Speaker 11: So they're a New Zealand manufactured fire and christ Church 2188 01:44:01,372 --> 01:44:04,692 Speaker 11: by Harris Home Fires, and they are a fifth generation 2189 01:44:04,853 --> 01:44:07,812 Speaker 11: family business. So I know all about wood burners. Indoors 2190 01:44:07,853 --> 01:44:10,253 Speaker 11: and outdoors and have you got any questions for me? 2191 01:44:10,492 --> 01:44:14,333 Speaker 11: Fire away sues the pun but just hearing before the 2192 01:44:14,412 --> 01:44:16,812 Speaker 11: man the man the man was talking before. I think 2193 01:44:16,853 --> 01:44:20,892 Speaker 11: the installer was talking about outdoor fires. Yeah, we New 2194 01:44:20,973 --> 01:44:24,492 Speaker 11: Zealand goes by the Ministry for Environment lists and here 2195 01:44:24,572 --> 01:44:27,173 Speaker 11: in Grossroots we're governed by the ear Canda list And 2196 01:44:27,333 --> 01:44:29,772 Speaker 11: basically with an outdoor fire, it states that you can't 2197 01:44:29,853 --> 01:44:32,092 Speaker 11: light a fire in your backyard unless it's a hanging 2198 01:44:32,213 --> 01:44:35,732 Speaker 11: in umu or a barbecue. Now, these outdoor fires like 2199 01:44:35,853 --> 01:44:38,652 Speaker 11: Warrington's and on flame and all these fires you've have 2200 01:44:39,213 --> 01:44:42,052 Speaker 11: pizza ovens built in or they have grills on hot plates, 2201 01:44:42,372 --> 01:44:44,893 Speaker 11: and as long as it's a cooking applies, it's classified 2202 01:44:44,893 --> 01:44:45,572 Speaker 11: as a barbecue. 2203 01:44:45,572 --> 01:44:46,532 Speaker 8: You don't have to permit it. 2204 01:44:47,492 --> 01:44:51,333 Speaker 11: And you know, the bodies don't you know, the guys 2205 01:44:51,372 --> 01:44:54,732 Speaker 11: that manage the airplans don't mine because it's not like 2206 01:44:54,853 --> 01:44:57,053 Speaker 11: you're you're you're burning your fire eight hours a day, 2207 01:44:57,173 --> 01:44:59,093 Speaker 11: seven days a week in your backyard. You tend to 2208 01:44:59,173 --> 01:45:01,772 Speaker 11: just crank it up on a few hours on the weekends. 2209 01:45:01,933 --> 01:45:04,173 Speaker 11: So that's how you can get away with open fires 2210 01:45:04,213 --> 01:45:07,173 Speaker 11: in the home. But you open fires inside the home, 2211 01:45:07,253 --> 01:45:09,053 Speaker 11: it's a different story. You've got to be outside of 2212 01:45:09,093 --> 01:45:11,053 Speaker 11: clean ear zone on more than two hit years of land, 2213 01:45:11,053 --> 01:45:14,213 Speaker 11: et cetera. So there are different rules applied to different fires. 2214 01:45:14,253 --> 01:45:17,253 Speaker 11: But any foreign New Zealand can install a wood burner today. 2215 01:45:17,732 --> 01:45:22,852 Speaker 3: Right, And as the demand for woodburners keeping up, going up, 2216 01:45:22,973 --> 01:45:24,932 Speaker 3: going down, what's the business like at the moment? 2217 01:45:25,013 --> 01:45:28,652 Speaker 11: Mike, Yeah, I've been really, really busy. I've got five 2218 01:45:28,732 --> 01:45:31,092 Speaker 11: installation teams in christ Church and I've got to install 2219 01:45:31,133 --> 01:45:32,973 Speaker 11: a throat in New Zealand that I have relationships with. 2220 01:45:33,173 --> 01:45:35,132 Speaker 17: And you know, I mean I put. 2221 01:45:35,093 --> 01:45:38,173 Speaker 11: Personally out did fifty five wood burners and a couple 2222 01:45:38,213 --> 01:45:40,492 Speaker 11: of months ago just for the month, I'm averaging around 2223 01:45:40,572 --> 01:45:44,692 Speaker 11: forty wood burners a month. But wow, just my business 2224 01:45:44,772 --> 01:45:47,652 Speaker 11: here in christ Church. But the market slowed down a 2225 01:45:47,692 --> 01:45:49,812 Speaker 11: little bit at the moment because I guess it's not 2226 01:45:49,933 --> 01:45:54,133 Speaker 11: exactly it's not exactly snowing outside. People are preparing ideal 2227 01:45:54,213 --> 01:45:57,492 Speaker 11: with corporate businesses. I install for new builds. Well, I 2228 01:45:57,612 --> 01:45:59,372 Speaker 11: personally don't install, but I have got teams that do it. 2229 01:45:59,893 --> 01:46:01,452 Speaker 11: But so we have to have an ould shall lower 2230 01:46:01,492 --> 01:46:03,812 Speaker 11: mission wood burner in christ Church clean air zone. So 2231 01:46:04,333 --> 01:46:07,213 Speaker 11: basically the fire must burn it about point six of 2232 01:46:07,293 --> 01:46:11,092 Speaker 11: a gram ap point six of a gram of pollutant 2233 01:46:11,133 --> 01:46:13,932 Speaker 11: per kilogram of smoke. It's all given by how much 2234 01:46:14,053 --> 01:46:16,893 Speaker 11: pollutant per cagal a smoke of fire emits, so it 2235 01:46:17,013 --> 01:46:19,412 Speaker 11: needs to be ultraalie mission and christ Church. But then 2236 01:46:19,412 --> 01:46:20,893 Speaker 11: if you lived on the West Coast or on a 2237 01:46:20,973 --> 01:46:23,452 Speaker 11: farm on more than two hectores of land outside of 2238 01:46:23,492 --> 01:46:24,652 Speaker 11: clean air zone, there. 2239 01:46:24,572 --> 01:46:25,133 Speaker 19: Are no rules. 2240 01:46:25,173 --> 01:46:26,692 Speaker 11: You can have an open fire in your home if 2241 01:46:26,732 --> 01:46:28,333 Speaker 11: you like, and particularly on the West Coast, you can 2242 01:46:28,372 --> 01:46:31,732 Speaker 11: have h but no they're very popular. They work in 2243 01:46:31,812 --> 01:46:33,692 Speaker 11: the event of a power cuts. The best way to 2244 01:46:33,772 --> 01:46:34,972 Speaker 11: heat your house I reckon. 2245 01:46:35,612 --> 01:46:37,732 Speaker 2: Is anyone allowed to run coal anywhere in the country, 2246 01:46:37,772 --> 01:46:40,052 Speaker 2: because when I was growing up in Dunedin, I loved 2247 01:46:40,093 --> 01:46:41,652 Speaker 2: the smell of coal when I was running back from 2248 01:46:41,732 --> 01:46:44,572 Speaker 2: the you know, coming home, running home from footy. I 2249 01:46:44,612 --> 01:46:45,652 Speaker 2: remember it really distinctly. 2250 01:46:46,652 --> 01:46:49,452 Speaker 11: Yeah, well that's a good bish. Woodsman manufacturers and the 2251 01:46:49,532 --> 01:46:52,333 Speaker 11: other brands manufacture what we call a multi fuel fire. 2252 01:46:52,893 --> 01:46:55,612 Speaker 11: So a multi fuel fire has the ability to burn 2253 01:46:55,732 --> 01:46:59,093 Speaker 11: both wood and coal. So it has an ash pan 2254 01:46:59,253 --> 01:47:03,213 Speaker 11: underneath the firebox and a great and a great so 2255 01:47:03,412 --> 01:47:06,772 Speaker 11: you get more oxygenated air in there for burning coal, 2256 01:47:06,853 --> 01:47:08,852 Speaker 11: but you know, you get an extra We ended burn 2257 01:47:08,933 --> 01:47:11,333 Speaker 11: time burning coal and they put out. 2258 01:47:11,532 --> 01:47:12,892 Speaker 19: A of a lot of heat. 2259 01:47:13,492 --> 01:47:15,412 Speaker 11: So yes, a multi fuel fire can burn coal. And 2260 01:47:15,452 --> 01:47:17,572 Speaker 11: if you've got an open fire, I guess you could 2261 01:47:17,612 --> 01:47:19,452 Speaker 11: chuck some coal on that as well if you wanted to. 2262 01:47:19,612 --> 01:47:25,132 Speaker 2: But yeah, so well, interms of people that environmentally minded, 2263 01:47:25,173 --> 01:47:28,053 Speaker 2: there's absolutely nothing wrong with burning wood because obviously that's, 2264 01:47:28,173 --> 01:47:31,013 Speaker 2: as I saying before, that's completely sustainable. It's above it's 2265 01:47:31,013 --> 01:47:33,333 Speaker 2: above the ground, and the trees grow, you burn them. 2266 01:47:33,652 --> 01:47:34,133 Speaker 3: It's all good. 2267 01:47:34,173 --> 01:47:36,293 Speaker 2: You're just putting the same carbon back into the atmosphere 2268 01:47:36,412 --> 01:47:38,852 Speaker 2: as was already there. That you know that, you know, 2269 01:47:38,933 --> 01:47:40,452 Speaker 2: the stuff you dig out of the ground is the 2270 01:47:40,933 --> 01:47:43,053 Speaker 2: stuff that people get really upseet. What kind of water 2271 01:47:43,053 --> 01:47:45,012 Speaker 2: are people burning in those wood burners? 2272 01:47:45,093 --> 01:47:45,253 Speaker 4: Might? 2273 01:47:46,772 --> 01:47:49,452 Speaker 11: Yes, So there are different types of what obviously, as 2274 01:47:49,492 --> 01:47:52,572 Speaker 11: a gentleman mentioned earlier on old Man Pine, we probably 2275 01:47:52,893 --> 01:47:55,133 Speaker 11: quite a start away from old Man Pine because it's 2276 01:47:55,612 --> 01:47:59,372 Speaker 11: quite synonymous for pre asserting and blocking up flu. You 2277 01:47:59,492 --> 01:48:03,293 Speaker 11: want to have wood, that's no doubt for them twenty percent. 2278 01:48:04,333 --> 01:48:06,013 Speaker 11: So a moisture meat is a good thing if you've 2279 01:48:06,013 --> 01:48:07,932 Speaker 11: got a wood burner. You grab a moisture meter from 2280 01:48:08,372 --> 01:48:11,253 Speaker 11: from somewhere and you can test the volume of water 2281 01:48:11,692 --> 01:48:14,253 Speaker 11: inside wood. So it needs to be nice and dry basically. 2282 01:48:14,333 --> 01:48:18,172 Speaker 11: But all different types of pine, macrocarper, blue gums are hardwood, 2283 01:48:19,253 --> 01:48:22,412 Speaker 11: you know, So a mixtor of hardwood and softwood's ultimate 2284 01:48:23,572 --> 01:48:26,772 Speaker 11: fuel for a wood burner. But any types of wood 2285 01:48:26,812 --> 01:48:28,732 Speaker 11: you can burn, Yeah, no problem there. 2286 01:48:28,812 --> 01:48:30,812 Speaker 4: So I'm in the market for wood at the moment. 2287 01:48:31,253 --> 01:48:33,692 Speaker 4: You wouldn't recommend going pure hardwood. I've got to get 2288 01:48:33,692 --> 01:48:35,213 Speaker 4: a what do they call it a hot mix? 2289 01:48:36,853 --> 01:48:38,772 Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, do you pay more for hardwood because it 2290 01:48:38,893 --> 01:48:41,732 Speaker 11: burns longer than pine? But a good mix of both 2291 01:48:41,772 --> 01:48:44,492 Speaker 11: softwood and hardwood, but hardwood is the ultimate.

But 2325 01:50:13,372 --> 01:50:18,013 Speaker 15: when we went there there was an open fire with 2326 01:50:18,173 --> 01:50:21,772 Speaker 15: a brick chimney. So we had a younger put in 2327 01:50:21,973 --> 01:50:26,492 Speaker 15: the fireplace, you know, set in one and that was 2328 01:50:27,293 --> 01:50:33,293 Speaker 15: Yunker what's a young That was the brand. It's the ones, 2329 01:50:33,492 --> 01:50:37,053 Speaker 15: you know, the ones with the door and the yeah, 2330 01:50:38,013 --> 01:50:40,893 Speaker 15: And that was set in the fireplace. And then in 2331 01:50:41,253 --> 01:50:45,213 Speaker 15: two thousand and three we had the house altered and 2332 01:50:46,452 --> 01:50:49,612 Speaker 15: we had a little chippy to heat the water at 2333 01:50:49,652 --> 01:50:53,692 Speaker 15: that time, so we had one fire put in which 2334 01:50:53,893 --> 01:50:57,412 Speaker 15: was a fissure there made in Westport. It was a 2335 01:50:57,532 --> 01:51:00,933 Speaker 15: multi fuel as well, so we had to get the 2336 01:51:01,053 --> 01:51:04,892 Speaker 15: chimney taken out and it was a free standing one 2337 01:51:05,492 --> 01:51:09,333 Speaker 15: so it had the silver it was black but or 2338 01:51:09,452 --> 01:51:15,732 Speaker 15: silver on the outside. The flu tight chimney for that one. Yeah, yeah, 2339 01:51:15,853 --> 01:51:21,093 Speaker 15: but you have restrictions because I don't know how you 2340 01:51:21,253 --> 01:51:23,772 Speaker 15: go for the built in one, but someone who knew 2341 01:51:23,772 --> 01:51:27,092 Speaker 15: about it did it. Because you'd have to have the fire. 2342 01:51:27,133 --> 01:51:29,532 Speaker 15: It wouldn't be too bad when you had the brick chimney, 2343 01:51:29,532 --> 01:51:32,053 Speaker 15: I imagine, but for the other one you had to 2344 01:51:32,133 --> 01:51:35,972 Speaker 15: be so far away from anything look auld burn, of course, 2345 01:51:36,692 --> 01:51:40,133 Speaker 15: and we had a metal kind of a back drop 2346 01:51:40,293 --> 01:51:43,213 Speaker 15: thing on the wall nice where the chimney was, and 2347 01:51:43,293 --> 01:51:45,532 Speaker 15: then you had to have something around where the flue 2348 01:51:45,612 --> 01:51:48,972 Speaker 15: goes up, I think.

When we had the 2350 01:51:53,452 --> 01:51:55,772 Speaker 15: brick chimney, the kids used to get up there and 2351 01:51:55,853 --> 01:51:59,012 Speaker 15: you just had to lean the ladder against the brick 2352 01:51:59,133 --> 01:52:04,133 Speaker 15: chimney and just use the brushes. But when we got 2353 01:52:04,293 --> 01:52:07,812 Speaker 15: the other one, it was more difficult because we couldn't 2354 01:52:07,893 --> 01:52:11,852 Speaker 15: lean a ladder against it, so we had to have 2355 01:52:12,053 --> 01:52:17,013 Speaker 15: a step ladder and do it with the brushes that way, right. Well, 2356 01:52:17,372 --> 01:52:20,492 Speaker 15: sometimes after the kids were gone there, so we've got 2357 01:52:20,572 --> 01:52:23,652 Speaker 15: people to do it for us.
