But the news is that after ten 64 00:02:44,413 --> 00:02:46,573 Speaker 4: years of been with my lovely partner Mave I can 65 00:02:46,573 --> 00:02:49,972 Speaker 4: now call her at my fiance, that I finally dropped 66 00:02:49,972 --> 00:02:52,573 Speaker 4: a knee.

But when I got up there, I realized 75 00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:09,813 Speaker 4: I didn't actually know too much about the beaches in Northland, 76 00:03:09,893 --> 00:03:12,012 Speaker 4: so I just had to look at a map. She 77 00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,493 Speaker 4: found a bay that I thought they looked pretty secluded, 78 00:03:14,653 --> 00:03:16,493 Speaker 4: and hope to god it was a nice beach. 79 00:03:16,532 --> 00:03:19,293 Speaker 2: But she did. She get annoyed at you because you're 80 00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:21,213 Speaker 2: acting weird beforehand, because I've heard a lot of mates 81 00:03:21,252 --> 00:03:25,053 Speaker 2: of mine that have about to ask their partner to 82 00:03:25,053 --> 00:03:27,213 Speaker 2: marry them, and then a huge barney fires off because 83 00:03:27,213 --> 00:03:28,733 Speaker 2: you're being weird, You're trying to make them go to 84 00:03:28,773 --> 00:03:32,053 Speaker 2: a restaurant at a certain time, you're acting odd. They 85 00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:34,012 Speaker 2: assume you're angry at them a whole lot avon and 86 00:03:34,053 --> 00:03:36,693 Speaker 2: you can flare up just before the beautiful moment PC. 87 00:03:36,893 --> 00:03:39,293 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that must be a common thing, because before 88 00:03:39,333 --> 00:03:40,773 Speaker 4: we went to the beach and I just said, I 89 00:03:40,813 --> 00:03:42,213 Speaker 4: put on a shirt and she's like, why are you 90 00:03:42,293 --> 00:03:44,213 Speaker 4: wearing a shirt? We're going to the beach And I'm like, 91 00:03:44,573 --> 00:03:46,373 Speaker 4: you just put on something comfortable, said, what do you 92 00:03:46,413 --> 00:03:47,933 Speaker 4: mean by comfortable to look good? 93 00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:48,213 Speaker 6: Yeah? 94 00:03:48,573 --> 00:03:50,893 Speaker 4: No, just something comfortable. But I made it way more 95 00:03:50,893 --> 00:03:51,933 Speaker 4: awkward than it needed to be. 96 00:03:52,053 --> 00:03:53,333 Speaker 2: I won't know how many people have pulled out of 97 00:03:53,373 --> 00:03:56,533 Speaker 2: the engagement because of the pre engagement, Barney, because you're 98 00:03:56,533 --> 00:03:58,733 Speaker 2: acting odd and they assume something's going on. They accuse 99 00:03:58,773 --> 00:04:00,493 Speaker 2: you of geting on them or something flows up and 100 00:04:00,493 --> 00:04:01,253 Speaker 2: you don't need an engagement. 101 00:04:01,333 --> 00:04:01,613 Speaker 7: But no. 102 00:04:01,773 --> 00:04:04,693 Speaker 4: But so anyway, we arrived to this beech beautiful and 103 00:04:04,773 --> 00:04:06,973 Speaker 4: had the dog there with us, so found a nice 104 00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:09,093 Speaker 4: little spot, got the towels laid out, and then I 105 00:04:09,093 --> 00:04:11,573 Speaker 4: said to me, can you just go into the ocean 106 00:04:11,613 --> 00:04:14,293 Speaker 4: with the dog just for five minutes, which I'd never 107 00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:16,093 Speaker 4: normally say. So instantly she's like. 108 00:04:16,253 --> 00:04:17,973 Speaker 2: Can you go into the ocean with the dog? 109 00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:18,253 Speaker 8: Yeah? 110 00:04:18,373 --> 00:04:20,653 Speaker 4: Just take take Pepper over there into the ocean because 111 00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:22,253 Speaker 4: she needs to swim. It's too hot for Pepper. So 112 00:04:22,293 --> 00:04:24,853 Speaker 4: she needed a weird thing. But the how was going 113 00:04:24,933 --> 00:04:27,373 Speaker 4: wrong with you? Tyler? Then I set up the little GoPro. 114 00:04:27,453 --> 00:04:29,693 Speaker 4: So I brought the GoPro out of storage and set 115 00:04:29,733 --> 00:04:33,013 Speaker 4: that up just fine, just behind the towels and got 116 00:04:33,053 --> 00:04:35,413 Speaker 4: the angle just right. But of course she turned around 117 00:04:35,413 --> 00:04:37,813 Speaker 4: as a slate. Okay, I see what's going on here, 118 00:04:38,013 --> 00:04:39,973 Speaker 4: so she knew by that point, and then I had 119 00:04:39,973 --> 00:04:42,013 Speaker 4: to call her back up and got the dog to 120 00:04:42,013 --> 00:04:46,253 Speaker 4: sit down, and then awkwardly dropped the knee, stumbled with 121 00:04:46,293 --> 00:04:47,893 Speaker 4: the ring. The ring fell out of my hand at 122 00:04:47,933 --> 00:04:49,373 Speaker 4: one point and I had to pick it back up. 123 00:04:49,533 --> 00:04:52,973 Speaker 4: But she was crying then laughing, said I don't care 124 00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:55,453 Speaker 4: about Yes, yes, she said, I don't care about the ring. 125 00:04:55,613 --> 00:04:55,933 Speaker 9: Lovely. 126 00:04:56,493 --> 00:04:59,173 Speaker 4: But about two minutes after that, without a word of 127 00:04:59,213 --> 00:05:02,413 Speaker 4: a lie, Pepper jumped back up, ran down the beach, 128 00:05:02,573 --> 00:05:05,693 Speaker 4: and in front of a lovely family enjoying enjoying a 129 00:05:05,773 --> 00:05:07,733 Speaker 4: nice down the beach, did a massive dump. 130 00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:08,653 Speaker 3: On the each here. 131 00:05:08,693 --> 00:05:11,853 Speaker 4: That'll happen, that will happen so apart from that, super smooth. 132 00:05:11,933 --> 00:05:15,093 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's great. It's great that it was so lovely. 133 00:05:15,133 --> 00:05:17,013 Speaker 2: I mean, if I put down a blanke and set 134 00:05:17,093 --> 00:05:20,093 Speaker 2: up a golow, it pro I think my partner would 135 00:05:20,093 --> 00:05:21,093 Speaker 2: think something else was happening. 136 00:05:21,213 --> 00:05:22,693 Speaker 4: I don't know. 137 00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:24,733 Speaker 2: It was a nice speech. You'll go to say, yeah, 138 00:05:24,733 --> 00:05:27,893 Speaker 2: it's very romantic, beautiful. Well congratulations and it only took 139 00:05:27,893 --> 00:05:30,933 Speaker 2: you ten years. But but but that's that's very very good. Congratulations, 140 00:05:30,973 --> 00:05:34,013 Speaker 2: thank you to well done and bless you. And she's 141 00:05:34,013 --> 00:05:35,893 Speaker 2: a lovely lady and you're a good guy. So I 142 00:05:35,893 --> 00:05:37,853 Speaker 2: think it's going to be it's going to be a 143 00:05:37,893 --> 00:05:38,413 Speaker 2: great thing. 144 00:05:38,533 --> 00:05:40,413 Speaker 4: We've got a bright future. But I did mention the 145 00:05:40,493 --> 00:05:42,093 Speaker 4: ring and well, actually want to even talk about this 146 00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:45,053 Speaker 4: after three o'clock. Is that I went for what you 147 00:05:45,133 --> 00:05:47,533 Speaker 4: call a placeholder ring. So the ring that I actually 148 00:05:47,573 --> 00:05:51,773 Speaker 4: purchased was it looks good, but it's not real. You know, 149 00:05:51,853 --> 00:05:55,493 Speaker 4: it's it's not proper gold ring, the burger ring or 150 00:05:55,693 --> 00:05:59,533 Speaker 4: pretty close to it. Actually, it's it's tinted with gold, 151 00:05:59,573 --> 00:06:00,933 Speaker 4: so it's going to you know, it's going to rub 152 00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:04,293 Speaker 4: off pretty easy. And the rock is just a cubic zarconia. 153 00:06:04,573 --> 00:06:06,173 Speaker 4: So it was a couple hundred bucks. But the point 154 00:06:06,293 --> 00:06:09,653 Speaker 4: of the placeholder ring is that I'm terrible when it 155 00:06:09,693 --> 00:06:12,653 Speaker 4: comes to buying rings. I've got no idea what maybe 156 00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:15,013 Speaker 4: is into. So I figured I'll just get this so 157 00:06:15,013 --> 00:06:17,173 Speaker 4: it's nice for the pictures and then me and her 158 00:06:17,373 --> 00:06:20,213 Speaker 4: can go and buy something that she'll actually like. But 159 00:06:20,333 --> 00:06:22,253 Speaker 4: her aunties just said, I've never heard of that before. 160 00:06:22,293 --> 00:06:24,613 Speaker 4: Why didn't you just do what normal people do and 161 00:06:24,653 --> 00:06:26,293 Speaker 4: buy a proper ring to start off with? 162 00:06:26,373 --> 00:06:28,493 Speaker 2: She we talk about this after three o'clock. Yeah, eight 163 00:06:28,493 --> 00:06:30,693 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten eighty. What is the best 164 00:06:30,733 --> 00:06:35,613 Speaker 2: approach for that? Because the thing is right in my relation, 165 00:06:35,733 --> 00:06:39,213 Speaker 2: For example, she knows everything about what's stylish and what 166 00:06:39,413 --> 00:06:42,413 Speaker 2: looks good like she'll put on my partner will put 167 00:06:42,453 --> 00:06:44,533 Speaker 2: on a dress and come out and say what do 168 00:06:44,573 --> 00:06:46,333 Speaker 2: you think?

Yeah? That is after 189 00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:23,453 Speaker 4: three o'clock though. And also want to talk about lab 190 00:07:23,453 --> 00:07:25,773 Speaker 4: grow and diamonds as well, because that's in the mix 191 00:07:25,853 --> 00:07:27,973 Speaker 4: as we decide what to buy. If the price is 192 00:07:28,053 --> 00:07:31,333 Speaker 4: right after two o'clock. This's going to be a good chat. So, 193 00:07:31,813 --> 00:07:34,093 Speaker 4: as we know, the election year is officially underweg and 194 00:07:34,173 --> 00:07:37,693 Speaker 4: Christopher Luxen's State of the Nation's speech is being treated 195 00:07:37,813 --> 00:07:41,693 Speaker 4: as the starting gun. So there's questions obviously swelling around 196 00:07:41,693 --> 00:07:46,173 Speaker 4: the economy, leadership, cabinet changes, and what voters are really feeling. 197 00:07:46,893 --> 00:07:49,293 Speaker 4: And he was on with Mike Coskin. My Coskin was 198 00:07:49,293 --> 00:07:52,813 Speaker 4: obviously back today and Mike cast Christopher lux now Prime Minister. 199 00:07:53,453 --> 00:07:54,813 Speaker 4: What can people expect this year? 200 00:07:55,013 --> 00:07:57,253 Speaker 11: It's really just a chance to lay up exactly where 201 00:07:57,253 --> 00:07:59,453 Speaker 11: we are and what's going on. And yeah, I think 202 00:07:59,493 --> 00:08:01,693 Speaker 11: everyone understands we inherit a hell of a mess and 203 00:08:01,733 --> 00:08:03,413 Speaker 11: we've had to fix a lot of the basics over 204 00:08:03,453 --> 00:08:05,813 Speaker 11: the last two years. But yeah, are you starting to 205 00:08:05,813 --> 00:08:08,013 Speaker 11: see all the leading indicators come right? And I think 206 00:08:08,053 --> 00:08:10,813 Speaker 11: this really encouraging and positive things that the recovery is 207 00:08:10,853 --> 00:08:11,773 Speaker 11: now actually underway. 208 00:08:12,293 --> 00:08:13,733 Speaker 4: And so the question is do you want. 209 00:08:13,653 --> 00:08:15,653 Speaker 11: To just watch a recovery take place, or do you 210 00:08:15,693 --> 00:08:18,173 Speaker 11: actually want to build out and do the right reforms 211 00:08:18,173 --> 00:08:19,533 Speaker 11: and things that we need to do to set the 212 00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:21,973 Speaker 11: country up for a great future. So it's really this 213 00:08:22,093 --> 00:08:24,253 Speaker 11: notion of how do we fix the basics and we've 214 00:08:24,253 --> 00:08:26,333 Speaker 11: still got stuff we've got to continue to do daily 215 00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:28,853 Speaker 11: in that area. But also how do we think about 216 00:08:28,853 --> 00:08:31,053 Speaker 11: some of the challenges as countries had for thirty years 217 00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:32,933 Speaker 11: and actually deal with those things that we need to 218 00:08:32,933 --> 00:08:33,813 Speaker 11: build the future around. 219 00:08:34,773 --> 00:08:38,173 Speaker 2: So that State of the Nation speech is happening right 220 00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:41,853 Speaker 2: now as we speak. It has started, but at two 221 00:08:41,852 --> 00:08:45,693 Speaker 2: o'clock we'll have Ethan Griffiths on again to run down 222 00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:48,852 Speaker 2: through the highlights of it.

Now, match, you've recently had a visit 244 00:09:43,093 --> 00:09:45,093 Speaker 4: to the dentist, you had a bit of work done, 245 00:09:45,492 --> 00:09:48,772 Speaker 4: and you've got a bill, and it seems some people 246 00:09:48,813 --> 00:09:51,132 Speaker 4: may say it's expensive, some people may say it's cheap. 247 00:09:51,732 --> 00:09:54,093 Speaker 2: I want to know how you deal with the cost 248 00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:56,373 Speaker 2: of going to a dentists, not the paying of it, 249 00:09:56,413 --> 00:09:58,973 Speaker 2: but just knowing whether it's the right amount. So my 250 00:09:59,093 --> 00:10:02,893 Speaker 2: dentist bill was twy eight and forty dollars and it 251 00:10:02,973 --> 00:10:10,173 Speaker 2: was for six fillings basically adhesive restoration, posterior teeth direct 252 00:10:10,612 --> 00:10:13,973 Speaker 2: and a high giene appointment two eight hundred and forty dollars. 253 00:10:14,213 --> 00:10:19,733 Speaker 2: And before I before I went in, the lovely lady 254 00:10:19,773 --> 00:10:21,693 Speaker 2: at reception she said to me, are you happy with this? 255 00:10:21,892 --> 00:10:25,053 Speaker 2: Which I thought was an odd question because I could 256 00:10:25,053 --> 00:10:27,492 Speaker 2: be willing to pay it but not be happy with it. Yeah, 257 00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:29,053 Speaker 2: so I think they just need to work on that question. 258 00:10:29,093 --> 00:10:31,853 Speaker 2: The question should be is this okay? Even then you'd go, 259 00:10:32,653 --> 00:10:33,732 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's okay. 260 00:10:34,653 --> 00:10:36,333 Speaker 4: Are you opening up negotiations at this point? 261 00:10:36,372 --> 00:10:38,333 Speaker 2: But they get you to sign something before you go 262 00:10:38,372 --> 00:10:39,893 Speaker 2: in and get the work done right? 263 00:10:40,012 --> 00:10:41,132 Speaker 4: Right?

I think implants itself. Maybe about one 366 00:14:29,493 --> 00:14:33,013 Speaker 2: thousand or more. Marriage wife did not want to get married. 367 00:14:33,293 --> 00:14:36,292 Speaker 2: I proposed no less than five times.

How 379 00:15:00,893 --> 00:15:03,573 Speaker 4: much did you pay? Mary, how are you? 380 00:15:04,933 --> 00:15:05,893 Speaker 13: Oh, good afternoon? 381 00:15:05,933 --> 00:15:06,493 Speaker 5: Gosh. 382 00:15:06,693 --> 00:15:06,933 Speaker 14: Yeah. 383 00:15:07,653 --> 00:15:11,213 Speaker 13: My take on it's just your dental health is really 384 00:15:11,293 --> 00:15:15,893 Speaker 13: important because it can affect everything else, including your heart health, 385 00:15:16,493 --> 00:15:20,213 Speaker 13: and I think that that's something that's an investment in 386 00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:24,933 Speaker 13: your health. I'm covered for some dental work on my 387 00:15:25,173 --> 00:15:30,893 Speaker 13: health plan, so yeah, and if you actually work it 388 00:15:30,933 --> 00:15:35,893 Speaker 13: out over a period of a year, it's not that 389 00:15:36,053 --> 00:15:36,893 Speaker 13: much per week. 390 00:15:37,933 --> 00:15:38,213 Speaker 15: Mmm? 391 00:15:38,653 --> 00:15:41,893 Speaker 2: Do you so? 392 00:15:41,893 --> 00:15:42,013 Speaker 10: So? 393 00:15:42,133 --> 00:15:43,893 Speaker 2: And then in that case, you don't care at all 394 00:15:43,893 --> 00:15:46,532 Speaker 2: what the price of whatever procedure you're getting done. 395 00:15:46,533 --> 00:15:51,213 Speaker 13: May no, because it's still limited to what you can claim. 396 00:15:51,373 --> 00:15:53,813 Speaker 13: But I can claim up to a certain amount and 397 00:15:53,813 --> 00:15:57,693 Speaker 13: I can't recall what that amount is. But it's also 398 00:15:57,933 --> 00:16:01,453 Speaker 13: like how much what price do you put on your health? 399 00:16:02,013 --> 00:16:04,933 Speaker 2: But Marria, does your insurance cover we're in tear or 400 00:16:05,013 --> 00:16:09,053 Speaker 2: is it just major dental stuff that you couldn't expect? 401 00:16:11,613 --> 00:16:13,853 Speaker 13: Not so much, we are in tear, but like if 402 00:16:13,853 --> 00:16:20,373 Speaker 13: you need wisdom taste extracted, that's covered. I'd have to 403 00:16:20,413 --> 00:16:22,733 Speaker 13: look at the policy to find out what is. But 404 00:16:22,813 --> 00:16:26,373 Speaker 13: I still think that like, if you go regularly, then 405 00:16:26,413 --> 00:16:28,213 Speaker 13: you don't have the big bills. 406 00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:31,093 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll get on you, Mary, And what's regularly because 407 00:16:31,133 --> 00:16:33,613 Speaker 4: I don't go every year. I know people would say 408 00:16:33,613 --> 00:16:36,533 Speaker 4: that you perhaps should, and if I'm being honest, the 409 00:16:36,533 --> 00:16:38,853 Speaker 4: reason I don't go each year is because I'm worried 410 00:16:38,853 --> 00:16:40,853 Speaker 4: about what the bill will be at the end of 411 00:16:40,893 --> 00:16:41,693 Speaker 4: each each time. 412 00:16:41,773 --> 00:16:43,253 Speaker 2: Well, that's kind of what I was thinking. With my 413 00:16:43,253 --> 00:16:46,053 Speaker 2: twenty eight hundred dollars two eight hundred and forty OO 414 00:16:46,093 --> 00:16:48,813 Speaker 2: paid for these fillings my teeth, I think, well, I 415 00:16:48,853 --> 00:16:51,293 Speaker 2: haven't been for five years, so I'll at least spread 416 00:16:51,333 --> 00:16:54,172 Speaker 2: that cast out over five years. But as people keep 417 00:16:54,293 --> 00:16:57,013 Speaker 2: texting in. When you get fillings put in, they don't 418 00:16:57,053 --> 00:16:59,813 Speaker 2: guarantee how long they're in there for as well, because 419 00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:02,253 Speaker 2: the new science and fillings with dentists is not to 420 00:17:02,373 --> 00:17:05,093 Speaker 2: drill in and damage your teeth, right, because they want 421 00:17:05,093 --> 00:17:07,373 Speaker 2: to keep your teeth as in intact as they possibly can. 422 00:17:07,413 --> 00:17:09,773 Speaker 2: In the old days, and then the filling would stay 423 00:17:09,773 --> 00:17:13,173 Speaker 2: in for life, right, yes, but you know or near too. 424 00:17:13,253 --> 00:17:16,013 Speaker 2: But now they want to, you know, protect the integrity 425 00:17:16,013 --> 00:17:18,693 Speaker 2: of your teeth for your whole life, so they just 426 00:17:18,853 --> 00:17:21,333 Speaker 2: stick the stuff on the outside. So they've got they 427 00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:23,693 Speaker 2: can make no guarantees how long these four hundred and 428 00:17:23,733 --> 00:17:26,053 Speaker 2: fifteen dollars fillings will stay in there for. 429 00:17:26,373 --> 00:17:28,893 Speaker 4: So not even a ballpark. You can get at least 430 00:17:28,893 --> 00:17:30,813 Speaker 4: a couple of years out of them, surely, or you 431 00:17:30,893 --> 00:17:33,853 Speaker 4: just don't know. Okay, Oh one hundred and eight Am 432 00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:35,853 Speaker 4: I right? Am I right?

Love to hear from you. What 435 00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:41,933 Speaker 4: is the average cost that people should be expected to 436 00:17:41,933 --> 00:17:44,893 Speaker 4: pay for a filling? And nineteen nine two is that 437 00:17:44,893 --> 00:17:46,493 Speaker 4: teach number is twenty five past one. 438 00:17:47,613 --> 00:17:51,813 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions.

And I think that's a really 446 00:18:04,533 --> 00:18:07,653 Speaker 11: big call to action for New Zealand and our relative 447 00:18:07,733 --> 00:18:10,413 Speaker 11: position because all one hundred ninety five countries are dealing 448 00:18:10,453 --> 00:18:11,893 Speaker 11: with the challenges that are out there in the world 449 00:18:11,933 --> 00:18:13,693 Speaker 11: today is actually very strong.

We're talking about the 458 00:18:32,693 --> 00:18:35,253 Speaker 4: price of dental work. One hundred and eighty ten eighty 459 00:18:35,293 --> 00:18:35,933 Speaker 4: is number to call. 460 00:18:36,213 --> 00:18:37,333 Speaker 2: Graham, welcome to the show. 461 00:18:37,373 --> 00:18:42,173 Speaker 15: You are a dentist, Yes I am, Yes, mate, thank 462 00:18:42,213 --> 00:18:45,773 Speaker 15: you for having me on the show. And matt yep so. 463 00:18:46,053 --> 00:18:52,413 Speaker 2: So first question is four hundred and fifteen dollars the 464 00:18:52,773 --> 00:18:56,573 Speaker 2: a the standard amount that you charge for an adhesive 465 00:18:56,613 --> 00:19:01,733 Speaker 2: restoration posterior tooth dash direct which imagine as a filling. 466 00:19:03,173 --> 00:19:06,013 Speaker 15: Really putting me on the spot. There's quite a bit 467 00:19:06,053 --> 00:19:11,333 Speaker 15: of variation, yeah, about a treatment. I think I sent 468 00:19:11,413 --> 00:19:14,493 Speaker 15: you that fee survey which on reflections. There's a lot 469 00:19:14,533 --> 00:19:19,253 Speaker 15: of information in it, but it all depends on how 470 00:19:19,293 --> 00:19:24,453 Speaker 15: many surfaces, how large it is, you know, all that 471 00:19:24,453 --> 00:19:27,973 Speaker 15: sort of thing. So it wouldn't be an uncommon price 472 00:19:28,213 --> 00:19:32,213 Speaker 15: and across Auckland, there's probably a bit of variation you 473 00:19:34,253 --> 00:19:38,933 Speaker 15: and quite cheap prices across Auckland. But I think I 474 00:19:38,973 --> 00:19:43,013 Speaker 15: heard Tyler suggesting an idea that if you were getting 475 00:19:43,133 --> 00:19:48,053 Speaker 15: a few feelings maybe some you might get a discount 476 00:19:48,373 --> 00:19:52,453 Speaker 15: on that basis. And so, yeah, it would depend a 477 00:19:52,453 --> 00:19:54,453 Speaker 15: little bit on those sorts of scenarios. 478 00:19:54,453 --> 00:19:58,813 Speaker 2: So you're open to hackling Graham, open to. 479 00:20:00,213 --> 00:20:05,973 Speaker 15: What would I say, getting the work done and making 480 00:20:06,773 --> 00:20:15,533 Speaker 15: people's mouths better and healthier. And and you're mindful of 481 00:20:15,533 --> 00:20:22,813 Speaker 15: of people's financial spending mere dollar for what they're getting. 482 00:20:24,573 --> 00:20:26,893 Speaker 15: And also at the same time, as a dentist, you're 483 00:20:26,933 --> 00:20:32,853 Speaker 15: mindful of health concerns, you know, just there. If you 484 00:20:32,933 --> 00:20:35,413 Speaker 15: do something now, maybe they don't need a root canal 485 00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:36,013 Speaker 15: later on. 486 00:20:36,253 --> 00:20:38,453 Speaker 2: And yeah, well I think that's one of the things 487 00:20:38,493 --> 00:20:41,333 Speaker 2: that always impresses me about dentists, because your work as 488 00:20:41,413 --> 00:20:44,133 Speaker 2: people having bad teeth, but dentists are always trying to 489 00:20:44,133 --> 00:20:46,773 Speaker 2: make you a better teeth and they you know, you 490 00:20:46,813 --> 00:20:49,613 Speaker 2: could think a unscrupulous dentist would not be telling you 491 00:20:49,653 --> 00:20:52,093 Speaker 2: to brush your teeth, not telling into floss, not telling 492 00:20:52,173 --> 00:20:53,693 Speaker 2: to look after your teeth, so they make more money 493 00:20:53,733 --> 00:20:55,813 Speaker 2: down the track. But you never come across the dentist 494 00:20:55,893 --> 00:20:56,773 Speaker 2: it behaves like that. Grant. 495 00:20:58,933 --> 00:21:05,613 Speaker 15: Yeah, sorry, I'm double I'm double trying to get a 496 00:21:05,613 --> 00:21:07,613 Speaker 15: few things done here, trying to get my lunch cocked 497 00:21:07,653 --> 00:21:11,653 Speaker 15: at the same time commanding a conversation with you guys. 498 00:21:12,173 --> 00:21:15,453 Speaker 15: So wait, sorry, sorry, Matt, I love that bit. 499 00:21:15,573 --> 00:21:19,933 Speaker 2: For a moment, I was just commending dentists for always 500 00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:24,813 Speaker 2: promoting dental hygiene and health when really they can make 501 00:21:24,853 --> 00:21:27,053 Speaker 2: more money out of bad teeth than they can good teeth. 502 00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:33,093 Speaker 15: Yeah, like, that's correct. And if you look across the Auckland, 503 00:21:33,133 --> 00:21:36,773 Speaker 15: I think you'll find a there's quite a as we know, 504 00:21:36,813 --> 00:21:44,573 Speaker 15: it's quite a spectrum of social and economic means across Auckland, 505 00:21:44,613 --> 00:21:48,533 Speaker 15: and in general, unfortunately two to k you find that 506 00:21:48,733 --> 00:21:51,493 Speaker 15: there's people have got less means for probably the decay 507 00:21:51,653 --> 00:21:56,853 Speaker 15: rates go up and all that. So, so you know, 508 00:21:57,613 --> 00:21:59,693 Speaker 15: if a dentist is in a very good bit of town, 509 00:21:59,813 --> 00:22:05,493 Speaker 15: most people buy a large Brosotis and even flass. But 510 00:22:05,653 --> 00:22:08,373 Speaker 15: in some bits of the of the city it's not 511 00:22:08,493 --> 00:22:11,813 Speaker 15: quite as good as that, unfortunately, And it not only 512 00:22:11,853 --> 00:22:15,333 Speaker 15: relates to dentistry, but it relates to other health messages 513 00:22:15,373 --> 00:22:17,213 Speaker 15: around chronic disease. 514 00:22:18,333 --> 00:22:22,813 Speaker 2: So yeah, so what you're saying is, you know, someone 515 00:22:22,853 --> 00:22:25,413 Speaker 2: like me who lives probably in an affluent part of 516 00:22:25,453 --> 00:22:30,013 Speaker 2: the country of the city, should nip over to you know, 517 00:22:30,453 --> 00:22:31,933 Speaker 2: I don't know, get out. 518 00:22:32,373 --> 00:22:34,253 Speaker 4: Get out to another area where drive. 519 00:22:34,173 --> 00:22:37,013 Speaker 2: Forty five minutes and then try and get my tea done. 520 00:22:36,893 --> 00:22:40,253 Speaker 15: There and then you'll find the difficulties. Dentists in those 521 00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:43,053 Speaker 15: areas are quite busy, so funny. 522 00:22:43,013 --> 00:22:45,253 Speaker 2: Time and all that, And there's not. 523 00:22:45,213 --> 00:22:48,693 Speaker 15: To take away any device you've got from your dentists. 524 00:22:48,693 --> 00:22:53,973 Speaker 15: Where you are, you though, so so very good and competent, 525 00:22:54,413 --> 00:22:58,733 Speaker 15: and by and large I know if you look at 526 00:22:58,733 --> 00:23:02,213 Speaker 15: a social media pace on dentists, it doesn't make the 527 00:23:02,213 --> 00:23:06,733 Speaker 15: most pleasant reading sometimes, but as a dentist, and no 528 00:23:06,813 --> 00:23:10,453 Speaker 15: doubt you'll be getting on your next little meter there 529 00:23:11,133 --> 00:23:14,213 Speaker 15: some feedback. But as a dentist, most dentists I know 530 00:23:14,213 --> 00:23:16,933 Speaker 15: are working pretty hard to do the right thing by 531 00:23:16,973 --> 00:23:19,893 Speaker 15: their clients and give them the right advice. 532 00:23:20,013 --> 00:23:22,812 Speaker 2: So yeah, hey, when when you say that, that say 533 00:23:23,413 --> 00:23:26,093 Speaker 2: you know, there's different types of fillings which are written 534 00:23:26,133 --> 00:23:30,173 Speaker 2: here is adhesive restoration posterior tooth, But how come all 535 00:23:30,213 --> 00:23:34,013 Speaker 2: of mine are charged at four fifteen if they're different teeth? 536 00:23:34,253 --> 00:23:37,613 Speaker 2: Surely that they don't have the same same hole in 537 00:23:37,613 --> 00:23:38,373 Speaker 2: each one. 538 00:23:39,013 --> 00:23:43,613 Speaker 15: Yeah, like yeah, like that in this day and age 539 00:23:43,613 --> 00:23:46,933 Speaker 15: of consent, you know, that's a that's a word while 540 00:23:47,013 --> 00:23:52,613 Speaker 15: discussion with your dentist and to just get them to 541 00:23:52,653 --> 00:23:58,453 Speaker 15: explain that it's but what in general, you know there 542 00:23:58,493 --> 00:24:03,453 Speaker 15: can be to be honest, if you do a small 543 00:24:03,493 --> 00:24:06,133 Speaker 15: filling or a bigger filling sometimes for the dentist is 544 00:24:06,173 --> 00:24:12,373 Speaker 15: a certain time allocated and doesn't really matter. Yeah, and 545 00:24:12,733 --> 00:24:15,453 Speaker 15: they've still got their overhead operations. 546 00:24:15,613 --> 00:24:18,373 Speaker 2: Yeah all that. Yeah, we want we want people to 547 00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:20,173 Speaker 2: make money because they've they've started a business and they've 548 00:24:20,213 --> 00:24:22,453 Speaker 2: trained to be a dentist. And I'm not I'm not 549 00:24:22,813 --> 00:24:25,373 Speaker 2: questioning the ability to make money. I think dentists are 550 00:24:25,373 --> 00:24:27,893 Speaker 2: doing an incredibly important job and you want good dentists. 551 00:24:27,893 --> 00:24:29,333 Speaker 2: And to get good dentists, they have to make the 552 00:24:29,373 --> 00:24:31,173 Speaker 2: money to put in the effect, to take their risk 553 00:24:31,213 --> 00:24:34,973 Speaker 2: to be a dentist. Hey, one question for you, Graham, 554 00:24:34,973 --> 00:24:37,413 Speaker 2: how much is so so when you're doing a filling, 555 00:24:37,973 --> 00:24:40,413 Speaker 2: a little a little box comes out, plastic box and 556 00:24:40,413 --> 00:24:43,013 Speaker 2: it has whatever that adhesive is that they put into 557 00:24:43,013 --> 00:24:46,973 Speaker 2: a filling. It's no longer anything poisonous. I believe. But 558 00:24:48,213 --> 00:24:50,813 Speaker 2: that stuff is that stuff just really expensive to buy. 559 00:24:51,413 --> 00:24:53,013 Speaker 2: You know, it's not it's not a PVA. 560 00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:58,933 Speaker 15: You'll you'll find that in general, the industry is a 561 00:24:59,053 --> 00:25:03,453 Speaker 15: service industry. So, and if you look at all service industries, 562 00:25:05,773 --> 00:25:08,253 Speaker 15: even as you went to the DHD and looked at 563 00:25:08,453 --> 00:25:13,893 Speaker 15: their operation, you'd find that probably I don't know, seventy 564 00:25:13,933 --> 00:25:19,693 Speaker 15: to eighty percent of their overhead as an staff, whether 565 00:25:19,693 --> 00:25:23,493 Speaker 15: you're paying the dentists or the assistance or the receptionist 566 00:25:23,613 --> 00:25:27,853 Speaker 15: or other support people. You're in general with dentistry, the 567 00:25:27,933 --> 00:25:33,573 Speaker 15: material costs about ten percent, right, and then probably you 568 00:25:33,613 --> 00:25:39,133 Speaker 15: know there there are variations on certain larger procedures, like 569 00:25:39,733 --> 00:25:41,573 Speaker 15: I heard you talking about implants. You know some of 570 00:25:41,613 --> 00:25:49,933 Speaker 15: those there's some higher costs involved. Yeah, so it really 571 00:25:50,013 --> 00:25:54,853 Speaker 15: does very a little bit. But in general it's about 572 00:25:54,933 --> 00:25:59,493 Speaker 15: ten percent of the cost. And over the years I've 573 00:25:59,493 --> 00:26:02,573 Speaker 15: seen financial accounts from other service industries and always been 574 00:26:02,893 --> 00:26:04,693 Speaker 15: interested in those similarities. 575 00:26:04,893 --> 00:26:06,773 Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much, Graham, just just because you 576 00:26:06,813 --> 00:26:10,613 Speaker 2: are a dentist.

Is even if they've had a 737 00:33:22,373 --> 00:33:24,853 Speaker 18: particular dentist for years, it's just rung around. Because I 738 00:33:24,933 --> 00:33:27,213 Speaker 18: had one of the guys from work, he went to 739 00:33:27,293 --> 00:33:29,693 Speaker 18: a dentist, had a root canal done that was eighteen 740 00:33:29,733 --> 00:33:32,613 Speaker 18: hundred bucks and he just about that he fell on 741 00:33:32,613 --> 00:33:35,213 Speaker 18: the floor. After that and a few weeks they had 742 00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:37,013 Speaker 18: to have another one that was a similar tooth on 743 00:33:37,053 --> 00:33:39,573 Speaker 18: the other side. So we're not talking about different teeth, 744 00:33:39,653 --> 00:33:42,253 Speaker 18: So it's the same sort of milder teeth. And it 745 00:33:42,373 --> 00:33:44,133 Speaker 18: was eight hundred dollars. And then on top of that, 746 00:33:44,293 --> 00:33:47,573 Speaker 18: what people don't realize is they then recommend that you 747 00:33:47,573 --> 00:33:50,133 Speaker 18: get a crown on top, which is another bloody few grand. 748 00:33:50,213 --> 00:33:53,613 Speaker 18: But I personally over the years, I've got dentists now, 749 00:33:53,653 --> 00:33:56,493 Speaker 18: but you know, I spent more time in dentist seats 750 00:33:56,533 --> 00:34:00,613 Speaker 18: and but he had to know about and ranging from Sydney, 751 00:34:00,693 --> 00:34:03,933 Speaker 18: christ Church, NUSA, Pappy, New Uni and Vericago all the rest. 752 00:34:03,933 --> 00:34:06,413 Speaker 18: And I've been to period onto so all the rest 753 00:34:06,453 --> 00:34:09,493 Speaker 18: and put a lot of spend a lot of money 754 00:34:09,613 --> 00:34:11,812 Speaker 18: and still had to end up put you getting them out. 755 00:34:11,853 --> 00:34:14,053 Speaker 18: But as far as root canals, I've had about five 756 00:34:14,133 --> 00:34:16,453 Speaker 18: over the years, and they it depends on the dentist 757 00:34:16,533 --> 00:34:18,573 Speaker 18: to go to and all the rest. And the thing 758 00:34:18,613 --> 00:34:21,253 Speaker 18: that used to get me is that for root canals, 759 00:34:21,453 --> 00:34:23,933 Speaker 18: they're not really doing much that they're drolling out. 760 00:34:23,933 --> 00:34:24,373 Speaker 5: You're filling. 761 00:34:24,373 --> 00:34:26,652 Speaker 18: If you've got a filling the out then they get 762 00:34:26,693 --> 00:34:28,453 Speaker 18: like a little pipe thing the thing thing out your 763 00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:32,013 Speaker 18: root canals.

So they are 770 00:34:46,493 --> 00:34:49,133 Speaker 18: the guys who are the experts on root canals. And 771 00:34:49,173 --> 00:34:51,133 Speaker 18: that was one of my last teeth that lasted for 772 00:34:51,133 --> 00:34:56,253 Speaker 18: about ten years with endodontis.

And you know I had 836 00:37:49,373 --> 00:37:54,212 Speaker 19: the situation where I have three missing teeth, so went 837 00:37:54,253 --> 00:38:00,573 Speaker 19: to my dentist in Wellington and was quoted eleven thousand 838 00:38:00,573 --> 00:38:10,213 Speaker 19: and nine hundred for three bridges and or full fillings, 839 00:38:10,253 --> 00:38:14,293 Speaker 19: filling in areas where the front were allegedly I've over 840 00:38:14,373 --> 00:38:16,613 Speaker 19: brushed and the worn away, so a little bit of 841 00:38:16,653 --> 00:38:20,613 Speaker 19: aesthetic work but not veneers, but most of that on 842 00:38:20,693 --> 00:38:25,533 Speaker 19: the bridges. And as I've walked out, I said to them, hey, 843 00:38:25,573 --> 00:38:28,652 Speaker 19: well you know that's great. I might actually go and 844 00:38:28,693 --> 00:38:32,053 Speaker 19: get it done in India. And they laughed and I laughed, 845 00:38:32,213 --> 00:38:36,133 Speaker 19: and I thought about it and did it. Yeah, perhaps 846 00:38:36,213 --> 00:38:39,253 Speaker 19: too much research, but you know it's away is a 847 00:38:40,013 --> 00:38:44,133 Speaker 19: good thing when you're doing something you know fairly fairly serious. 848 00:38:44,173 --> 00:38:47,413 Speaker 19: So yeah, I loved India. I was over there thirty 849 00:38:47,493 --> 00:38:50,333 Speaker 19: years ago and I thought, shit, I can go at 850 00:38:50,413 --> 00:38:56,813 Speaker 19: Christmas and yeah, I got not composites. I got top 851 00:38:56,853 --> 00:39:02,652 Speaker 19: of the line materials, so better materials, three bridges, all 852 00:39:02,653 --> 00:39:06,813 Speaker 19: of my old fillings taken out and replaced with white. 853 00:39:06,933 --> 00:39:10,293 Speaker 19: And I did it for two eight New Zealand. 854 00:39:10,493 --> 00:39:13,133 Speaker 2: Wow that is a saving, So to eight New Zealand, 855 00:39:13,133 --> 00:39:14,893 Speaker 2: that's what I paid for six fillings. 856 00:39:15,253 --> 00:39:17,013 Speaker 4: Go to India. Go to India. 857 00:39:17,053 --> 00:39:19,293 Speaker 2: Thank you for your call, Campbell. But we've come to 858 00:39:19,293 --> 00:39:20,772 Speaker 2: the end of the house, we've got to cut you off. 859 00:39:20,893 --> 00:39:22,692 Speaker 2: So the answer to my question, did I pay too 860 00:39:22,773 --> 00:39:25,893 Speaker 2: much for my fillings? Eight hundred and forty? Maybe? Maybe not. 861 00:39:26,333 --> 00:39:28,933 Speaker 2: One hack is getting your teeth done in lower economic areas, 862 00:39:29,333 --> 00:39:31,533 Speaker 2: but that's morally dubious and hard to get an appointment, right. 863 00:39:31,813 --> 00:39:33,853 Speaker 2: But the good news is Graham rang In and he 864 00:39:33,893 --> 00:39:35,413 Speaker 2: sounds like a great gentist, so I'm going to go 865 00:39:35,453 --> 00:39:37,373 Speaker 2: to him from now on. But of course, the key 866 00:39:37,453 --> 00:39:39,573 Speaker 2: is brushing your teeth at least twice a day, and 867 00:39:39,573 --> 00:39:41,053 Speaker 2: anyone can do that. I just looked up how much 868 00:39:41,133 --> 00:39:43,813 Speaker 2: toothbrush is supermarket. You get two for a dollar fifty. 869 00:39:43,813 --> 00:39:44,493 Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good deal. 870 00:39:44,533 --> 00:39:47,133 Speaker 2: They'll last you a year. Heck, and then toothpaste is 871 00:39:47,333 --> 00:39:50,813 Speaker 2: cheap as well. Yeah, three dollars fifteen, that'll last year weeks. Yeah, 872 00:39:50,853 --> 00:39:51,853 Speaker 2: anyone can brush. 873 00:39:51,573 --> 00:39:54,573 Speaker 4: Your teeth exactly. We've all got that time, right, great discussion, 874 00:39:54,613 --> 00:39:56,813 Speaker 4: Thank you very much everyone who called in texts Coming 875 00:39:56,893 --> 00:40:00,693 Speaker 4: up after two Clark Christopher Luxe's just delivered as State 876 00:40:00,813 --> 00:40:03,013 Speaker 4: of the Nation speech, So we want to have a 877 00:40:03,093 --> 00:40:05,853 Speaker 4: chat to you about what you are expecting to be 878 00:40:05,933 --> 00:40:08,933 Speaker 4: the big moment moments this election year. That's coming up. 879 00:40:08,813 --> 00:40:13,733 Speaker 1: Next talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathan Taylor 880 00:40:13,773 --> 00:40:16,493 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons News Talk ZEDB. 881 00:40:17,973 --> 00:40:21,613 Speaker 4: Very good afternoons, You welcome into the program. So the 882 00:40:21,653 --> 00:40:26,053 Speaker 4: election year is officially underway. Chris ofpher lux and the 883 00:40:26,053 --> 00:40:28,933 Speaker 4: Prime Minister, of course, has just finished his State of 884 00:40:29,013 --> 00:40:31,733 Speaker 4: the Nation's speech and it has been treated as a 885 00:40:31,813 --> 00:40:34,652 Speaker 4: bit of a starting gun. So with questions swirling around 886 00:40:34,693 --> 00:40:39,173 Speaker 4: the economy, leadership, cabinet changes and what voters are really feeling. 887 00:40:39,413 --> 00:40:42,053 Speaker 4: To break down that speech, we are joined once again 888 00:40:42,333 --> 00:40:47,093 Speaker 4: by News Talk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths. Ethan, thanks 889 00:40:47,093 --> 00:40:48,053 Speaker 4: again for joining us. 890 00:40:48,413 --> 00:40:49,013 Speaker 10: All good. 891 00:40:49,653 --> 00:40:51,413 Speaker 2: What were the biggest takeaways from the speech? 892 00:40:51,493 --> 00:40:55,773 Speaker 10: Ethan, Well, if you're hoping for new ideas or new policies, 893 00:40:55,813 --> 00:40:59,293 Speaker 10: you'll be left pretty disappointed. It's very much continuing the 894 00:40:59,333 --> 00:41:02,213 Speaker 10: same theme that we've seen in the past few years. 895 00:41:02,453 --> 00:41:04,493 Speaker 10: If you were to sum up the speech in one line, 896 00:41:04,533 --> 00:41:07,732 Speaker 10: it would be steady as she goes. The party's going 897 00:41:07,773 --> 00:41:11,173 Speaker 10: to take the same path that it has since entering government, 898 00:41:11,213 --> 00:41:14,253 Speaker 10: and there's no prizes for guessing what the biggest focus is. 899 00:41:14,373 --> 00:41:17,733 Speaker 10: It is growth. The first big takeaway from the speech, 900 00:41:17,853 --> 00:41:21,533 Speaker 10: Chris Luxon's declared the economic recovery is here. 901 00:41:21,773 --> 00:41:25,053 Speaker 20: It's been two years of hard work, really hard work 902 00:41:25,173 --> 00:41:28,413 Speaker 20: in government, from businesses large and small, and in fact 903 00:41:28,453 --> 00:41:31,493 Speaker 20: from every single New Zealander. But I have to tell 904 00:41:31,533 --> 00:41:34,293 Speaker 20: you I feel more confident than ever that the recovery 905 00:41:34,293 --> 00:41:37,293 Speaker 20: has now arrived and Kiwiz can look forward to a 906 00:41:37,373 --> 00:41:39,692 Speaker 20: year which is brighter than the past few. 907 00:41:40,413 --> 00:41:43,733 Speaker 10: Now, this of course depends on how you define recovery. 908 00:41:43,773 --> 00:41:46,652 Speaker 10: Whether it's here or very close to arriving is up 909 00:41:46,693 --> 00:41:49,613 Speaker 10: for debate. But Luxon has a lot of decent numbers 910 00:41:49,613 --> 00:41:53,453 Speaker 10: to point to very high business confidence, manufacturing up, building, 911 00:41:53,493 --> 00:41:56,173 Speaker 10: consense up. And he spoke all about that as well. 912 00:41:56,693 --> 00:41:59,213 Speaker 10: Last year at his State of the Nation's speech he 913 00:41:59,293 --> 00:42:02,013 Speaker 10: said twenty twenty five was the year of growth. In fact, 914 00:42:02,013 --> 00:42:04,933 Speaker 10: he mentioned the word forty three times in the speech. 915 00:42:05,453 --> 00:42:09,652 Speaker 10: Today he mentioned it three times, instead relying much more 916 00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:13,893 Speaker 10: on pointing to indicators suggesting it's here or arriving. And 917 00:42:13,933 --> 00:42:16,373 Speaker 10: that's obviously what the National Party will be banking on 918 00:42:16,453 --> 00:42:16,853 Speaker 10: this year. 919 00:42:17,493 --> 00:42:19,973 Speaker 4: And did he give give much away Ethan on what 920 00:42:20,013 --> 00:42:23,333 Speaker 4: else Nationals planning to campaign on the selection He did. 921 00:42:23,373 --> 00:42:26,373 Speaker 10: Actually three big policy planks there key we save a 922 00:42:26,453 --> 00:42:32,853 Speaker 10: reform RIMA reform and NCEEA reform. Now all are actually underway. First, 923 00:42:32,933 --> 00:42:36,733 Speaker 10: on key we say the National wants default employer and 924 00:42:36,813 --> 00:42:41,252 Speaker 10: employee contributions lifted to six percent by twenty thirty two. 925 00:42:41,333 --> 00:42:43,533 Speaker 10: That's six percent each, so a total of twelve percent. 926 00:42:44,013 --> 00:42:46,773 Speaker 10: He spoke about how important this is and I quote 927 00:42:47,133 --> 00:42:51,373 Speaker 10: because of the inevitable lift in the retirement age. Now 928 00:42:51,413 --> 00:42:54,973 Speaker 10: we all know zebrenuation is unaffordable. But as this may 929 00:42:55,013 --> 00:42:58,773 Speaker 10: be a hint that National could campaign again on raising 930 00:42:58,853 --> 00:42:59,973 Speaker 10: the retirement age. 931 00:43:00,253 --> 00:43:02,013 Speaker 2: I see, Yeah, very well. 932 00:43:02,013 --> 00:43:04,853 Speaker 10: On RMA reform, Luxon talked about how much time and 933 00:43:04,893 --> 00:43:07,373 Speaker 10: money Christ Bishop's new laws are going to save, hoping 934 00:43:07,373 --> 00:43:09,453 Speaker 10: this will lead to a mass of boost and development. 935 00:43:09,733 --> 00:43:11,692 Speaker 10: And then on NCA as well, we've talked a lot 936 00:43:11,693 --> 00:43:14,653 Speaker 10: about this. Education has long been seen as the issue 937 00:43:14,653 --> 00:43:17,933 Speaker 10: that Luxon's most passionate about personally. He says, this year 938 00:43:17,973 --> 00:43:21,212 Speaker 10: we'll see the bones of the new qualification. So there 939 00:43:21,253 --> 00:43:23,293 Speaker 10: is some interesting stuff within the speech. You'll be answering 940 00:43:23,373 --> 00:43:25,573 Speaker 10: some questions from media very shortly, so keep an air 941 00:43:25,573 --> 00:43:26,373 Speaker 10: out to see what he says. 942 00:43:26,413 --> 00:43:30,053 Speaker 2: Then, and what about on crime? I imagine he touted 943 00:43:30,053 --> 00:43:32,413 Speaker 2: they've had some good numbers coming through in crime. 944 00:43:33,013 --> 00:43:35,853 Speaker 10: Yeah, he did obviously at the last election. According to 945 00:43:35,893 --> 00:43:38,093 Speaker 10: Pol's you know, crime at Laura and order was one 946 00:43:38,093 --> 00:43:40,773 Speaker 10: of the biggest issues and it has dropped down that 947 00:43:40,893 --> 00:43:45,093 Speaker 10: list significantly. Obviously they have new sentencing laws. They've cracked 948 00:43:45,133 --> 00:43:47,533 Speaker 10: down on youth offending as well with things like the 949 00:43:47,573 --> 00:43:50,493 Speaker 10: young offender military academies. So all of that stuff that 950 00:43:50,533 --> 00:43:52,853 Speaker 10: he's talked about before. It'd be interesting to see if 951 00:43:52,893 --> 00:43:55,333 Speaker 10: there's much more this election campaign, but it is sort 952 00:43:55,373 --> 00:43:58,173 Speaker 10: of down the list of kiwi's priorities, which suggests that 953 00:43:58,173 --> 00:43:59,773 Speaker 10: they've probably done a reasonably good job with it. 954 00:43:59,933 --> 00:44:02,813 Speaker 4: Yeah, very interesting, Ethan, Thank you very much for joining 955 00:44:02,853 --> 00:44:04,773 Speaker 4: us once again.

Of course, 1001 00:46:13,413 --> 00:46:16,813 Speaker 4: is economic pressure, leadership scrutiny and cabinet rumors. Well, but 1002 00:46:16,853 --> 00:46:18,293 Speaker 4: the question we put to you is what do you 1003 00:46:18,333 --> 00:46:20,733 Speaker 4: want from National to get your vote this election? One 1004 00:46:20,813 --> 00:46:22,613 Speaker 4: hundred and eighteen eighty is the number to call. 1005 00:46:22,893 --> 00:46:25,613 Speaker 2: Dallas, welcome the show. How are you feeling about that? 1006 00:46:25,693 --> 00:46:25,933 Speaker 12: Have you? 1007 00:46:25,973 --> 00:46:26,213 Speaker 10: Have you? 1008 00:46:26,293 --> 00:46:27,893 Speaker 2: Have you heard what Luxon's had to say? 1009 00:46:29,373 --> 00:46:31,213 Speaker 21: And no, I haven't, but I just want to welcome 1010 00:46:31,253 --> 00:46:36,893 Speaker 21: you back, guys. And yeah, sounds like you've had expensive 1011 00:46:36,893 --> 00:46:39,333 Speaker 21: holidays in different ways. One of the teeth and another 1012 00:46:39,533 --> 00:46:40,813 Speaker 21: was getting engaged. 1013 00:46:40,613 --> 00:46:43,573 Speaker 4: Spot on Actually yeah, yeah, yeah. My bank account Leans 1014 00:46:43,613 --> 00:46:44,613 Speaker 4: is looking very small at the moment. 1015 00:46:44,693 --> 00:46:47,093 Speaker 2: Spinning two thousand, eight hundred and forty dollars on fillings 1016 00:46:47,173 --> 00:46:51,413 Speaker 2: was the highlight of my holiday. Dallison, thank you for celebrating. 1017 00:46:52,733 --> 00:46:55,013 Speaker 21: Oh, Matt, I've got a friend in Philippines that she 1018 00:46:55,093 --> 00:46:57,813 Speaker 21: said a crown in Philippines at thirty buck. 1019 00:46:58,133 --> 00:47:00,293 Speaker 4: Thirty bucks in the Philippines. 1020 00:47:00,453 --> 00:47:03,613 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you can't be there, Tell her I'm coming over. 1021 00:47:04,773 --> 00:47:06,093 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, good. 1022 00:47:06,013 --> 00:47:06,453 Speaker 3: Thing about it. 1023 00:47:06,493 --> 00:47:10,653 Speaker 21: But as for the politics, I'm struggling to get excited 1024 00:47:10,693 --> 00:47:14,813 Speaker 21: about New Zealand politics. I'm quite excited that Luxon is 1025 00:47:14,933 --> 00:47:18,613 Speaker 21: joining this thing on Gaza, this Gaza committee set up 1026 00:47:18,613 --> 00:47:22,252 Speaker 21: by Trump, so that that's a positive thing. But as 1027 00:47:22,293 --> 00:47:26,373 Speaker 21: far as local politics, I mean, what happens is that 1028 00:47:26,813 --> 00:47:29,493 Speaker 21: we all vote in November and then Winston's decides there 1029 00:47:29,573 --> 00:47:30,692 Speaker 21: is the government going to be right? 1030 00:47:31,133 --> 00:47:31,293 Speaker 12: Yeah? 1031 00:47:31,293 --> 00:47:33,613 Speaker 2: Well, I was just thinking that before because Luxe and 1032 00:47:33,653 --> 00:47:35,493 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the exact words were, but Chris 1033 00:47:35,533 --> 00:47:40,093 Speaker 2: Fluxen was suggesting that the age of retirement had to increase. 1034 00:47:41,093 --> 00:47:42,813 Speaker 2: It was inevitable. I think those were the words. 1035 00:47:42,893 --> 00:47:45,093 Speaker 4: Was it Thailand correct? Yes? So the line here is 1036 00:47:46,293 --> 00:47:49,053 Speaker 4: to support New Zealander's financial security against the backdrop of 1037 00:47:49,093 --> 00:47:52,812 Speaker 4: an aging society and an inevitable lift in the retirement age. 1038 00:47:52,853 --> 00:47:54,493 Speaker 2: And I was thinking, well, Winston will put his hand 1039 00:47:54,533 --> 00:47:58,013 Speaker 2: up there when it comes to coalition negotiations. 1040 00:47:57,333 --> 00:48:00,652 Speaker 4: And say no, it won't go up there. 1041 00:48:01,853 --> 00:48:03,933 Speaker 21: So Matt, why don't we just starst Winston now who 1042 00:48:04,013 --> 00:48:04,853 Speaker 21: the government is going to. 1043 00:48:04,773 --> 00:48:05,733 Speaker 5: Be all the time. 1044 00:48:05,813 --> 00:48:11,453 Speaker 2: And yeah, but that's a good point, I mean very well. 1045 00:48:11,493 --> 00:48:14,813 Speaker 2: If you look back up on you know m mp he, 1046 00:48:15,093 --> 00:48:18,933 Speaker 2: you know Winston's nailed it. Yeah, there's only every now 1047 00:48:18,973 --> 00:48:20,533 Speaker 2: and the end. Once he's been in government and had 1048 00:48:20,573 --> 00:48:23,453 Speaker 2: his way, sometimes he gets thrown out. Yeah, but he 1049 00:48:23,533 --> 00:48:26,413 Speaker 2: looks like he's in a stronger position pretty much than 1050 00:48:26,453 --> 00:48:29,533 Speaker 2: he ever has been before going into an election Onster Peters. 1051 00:48:29,613 --> 00:48:32,573 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got no doubt Dallas he'll find a way 1052 00:48:32,613 --> 00:48:34,773 Speaker 4: to sort of row back. But we all recall when 1053 00:48:34,773 --> 00:48:37,333 Speaker 4: he mentioned that he will never do a deal with 1054 00:48:38,133 --> 00:48:41,333 Speaker 4: labor when it's been run by Chris Hipkins and I imagine. Look, 1055 00:48:41,333 --> 00:48:42,973 Speaker 4: he's a very crafty guy. And if it comes to 1056 00:48:42,973 --> 00:48:45,733 Speaker 4: play that Chris Hopkins remains as leader, and it looks 1057 00:48:45,773 --> 00:48:47,933 Speaker 4: like he will, then maybe he will have something up 1058 00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:50,293 Speaker 4: his sleeve to say no, no, no, you're taking my 1059 00:48:50,333 --> 00:48:52,493 Speaker 4: words out of out of context there. But he's going 1060 00:48:52,573 --> 00:48:53,293 Speaker 4: to have to row back on that. 1061 00:48:53,493 --> 00:48:56,613 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we would label would labor negotiate and 1062 00:48:56,853 --> 00:49:00,373 Speaker 2: in the negotiation table as you know, post election a 1063 00:49:00,613 --> 00:49:04,373 Speaker 2: Chris Hopkins being rolled so that they can get into government. 1064 00:49:04,373 --> 00:49:07,973 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, anything happened. Well, good to talk 1065 00:49:08,013 --> 00:49:10,413 Speaker 2: to you again in Dallas. I hope you have a 1066 00:49:10,413 --> 00:49:12,693 Speaker 2: fantastic twenty twenty six and look forward to talking to 1067 00:49:12,733 --> 00:49:13,613 Speaker 2: you for the whole year. 1068 00:49:14,493 --> 00:49:16,653 Speaker 4: Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number 1069 00:49:16,653 --> 00:49:18,253 Speaker 4: to call. What do you want from National to get 1070 00:49:18,253 --> 00:49:19,013 Speaker 4: your vote this election? 1071 00:49:19,293 --> 00:49:21,692 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, have they got your vote? I mean, 1072 00:49:21,693 --> 00:49:23,652 Speaker 2: of course you haven't heard the State of the Nation 1073 00:49:23,693 --> 00:49:27,533 Speaker 2: because it's just been delivered, but he talked about that. 1074 00:49:27,613 --> 00:49:30,853 Speaker 2: He claims the economic recovery has arrived, citing rising business 1075 00:49:30,853 --> 00:49:34,093 Speaker 2: confidence here. He points to business confidence at its highest 1076 00:49:34,133 --> 00:49:38,652 Speaker 2: levels in twenty thirteen twenty fourteen, manufacturing growth, that it's 1077 00:49:38,693 --> 00:49:43,173 Speaker 2: strongest since late twenty twenty one. Auckland now has New 1078 00:49:43,293 --> 00:49:47,773 Speaker 2: Zealand's strongest consumer confidence according to WISPAC. The government claims 1079 00:49:47,773 --> 00:49:51,533 Speaker 2: to have locked in tight budgets. Luxon says eleven billion 1080 00:49:51,533 --> 00:49:54,373 Speaker 2: a year in savings has been delivered, equal to about 1081 00:49:54,413 --> 00:49:57,773 Speaker 2: five thousand per household. He commits to further spending cuts 1082 00:49:57,773 --> 00:49:59,893 Speaker 2: in the main budget with no room for a big 1083 00:49:59,933 --> 00:50:02,853 Speaker 2: election giveaways. That's going to be an interesting thing, isn't 1084 00:50:02,853 --> 00:50:08,813 Speaker 2: it when it becomes to the election, because give ways 1085 00:50:09,173 --> 00:50:11,573 Speaker 2: when we're currently sitting in a situation where we're borrowing 1086 00:50:11,613 --> 00:50:15,453 Speaker 2: money to pay our debt, So it's gonna be difficult 1087 00:50:15,453 --> 00:50:18,373 Speaker 2: for anyone to run a lolly scramble without a lot 1088 00:50:18,373 --> 00:50:19,413 Speaker 2: of pushback. 1089 00:50:19,013 --> 00:50:21,533 Speaker 4: Right absolutely, Yeah, So that will be coming up in May. 1090 00:50:21,573 --> 00:50:23,653 Speaker 4: But I've got to say, and I had a holiday 1091 00:50:23,693 --> 00:50:27,613 Speaker 4: where for by and large, I wasn't reading as much 1092 00:50:27,693 --> 00:50:29,853 Speaker 4: news as I normally would because I just wanted a 1093 00:50:29,853 --> 00:50:32,373 Speaker 4: bit of a break and it's good for the mental 1094 00:50:32,453 --> 00:50:34,253 Speaker 4: health in general for some parts. But now that we're 1095 00:50:34,293 --> 00:50:36,093 Speaker 4: back into it, I've got my head back in the game. 1096 00:50:36,173 --> 00:50:39,333 Speaker 4: But I'm feeling really positive at the start of this 1097 00:50:39,413 --> 00:50:42,293 Speaker 4: year coming into it, and I feel that around the 1098 00:50:42,293 --> 00:50:44,493 Speaker 4: country as well, and when I was traveling around in 1099 00:50:44,533 --> 00:50:49,213 Speaker 4: the holiday, felt a genuine more buoyancy than I probably 1100 00:50:49,293 --> 00:50:51,493 Speaker 4: felt personally and saw at the end of last year. 1101 00:50:51,773 --> 00:50:54,533 Speaker 4: So whether that's just because of the circles that I've 1102 00:50:54,573 --> 00:50:57,213 Speaker 4: been rolling around in, but I think it feels like 1103 00:50:57,293 --> 00:50:59,293 Speaker 4: there is a bit more positivity for this year. And 1104 00:50:59,333 --> 00:51:01,093 Speaker 4: maybe we always start off the year like that, we 1105 00:51:01,133 --> 00:51:03,533 Speaker 4: start off optimistic and saying this is our year, like 1106 00:51:03,613 --> 00:51:04,133 Speaker 4: the Warriors. 1107 00:51:04,213 --> 00:51:07,652 Speaker 2: But maybe I'm always optimistic. Yeah, I'm a big fan 1108 00:51:07,693 --> 00:51:10,093 Speaker 2: of listening what you grateful for, you know, and we've 1109 00:51:10,133 --> 00:51:12,653 Speaker 2: got so much to be grateful for in this country. 1110 00:51:13,013 --> 00:51:15,373 Speaker 2: If you're a negative person in this country, and that 1111 00:51:15,413 --> 00:51:17,733 Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you sit politically, but if you're negative 1112 00:51:17,773 --> 00:51:20,293 Speaker 2: in this country, then you know there's something seriously wrong 1113 00:51:20,333 --> 00:51:23,973 Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, because it's pretty pretty good. But Ethan 1114 00:51:24,013 --> 00:51:26,893 Speaker 2: Griffiths was saying, before you know the election November, it's 1115 00:51:26,933 --> 00:51:29,613 Speaker 2: most likely time for the election. Yep, you can't do 1116 00:51:29,653 --> 00:51:32,013 Speaker 2: it in December, No, but the government will long the 1117 00:51:32,053 --> 00:51:36,093 Speaker 2: longest runway for things to get better. Then you know 1118 00:51:36,133 --> 00:51:39,573 Speaker 2: that it starts, the weather starts to get better, and Novembers, 1119 00:51:39,773 --> 00:51:42,773 Speaker 2: maybe the ob let's get some victories whatever. Yeah, but 1120 00:51:42,853 --> 00:51:44,172 Speaker 2: I mean, as you say, it is a positive time 1121 00:51:44,213 --> 00:51:45,413 Speaker 2: A year of the holidays, isn't. 1122 00:51:45,173 --> 00:51:47,212 Speaker 4: It It is?

Interestingly, Luxon did not mention labor in a 1146 00:52:46,093 --> 00:52:48,893 Speaker 2: speech when he often does, instead focused on what National 1147 00:52:48,933 --> 00:52:51,693 Speaker 2: are doing and can offer Troy. Yeah, there is a 1148 00:52:51,693 --> 00:52:54,373 Speaker 2: lot of touting of success in his speech. 1149 00:52:54,573 --> 00:52:58,373 Speaker 4: Yes, Chris, how are you matey? 1150 00:52:59,333 --> 00:53:02,493 Speaker 22: Just for transparency reasons.

So I see that the economy 1160 00:53:32,893 --> 00:53:38,333 Speaker 22: of home is starting quote me wrongly. These green shoots 1161 00:53:38,453 --> 00:53:43,093 Speaker 22: are coming through now and you can't expect everything to 1162 00:53:43,213 --> 00:53:46,973 Speaker 22: happen within one to three year cycle, you know. And 1163 00:53:47,333 --> 00:53:54,813 Speaker 22: I would vote on this side of the coalition because 1164 00:53:54,813 --> 00:53:58,013 Speaker 22: they're doing a better job than the last whoever party 1165 00:53:58,013 --> 00:54:01,733 Speaker 22: I vote for. That's quite interesting because I like all 1166 00:54:01,813 --> 00:54:04,773 Speaker 22: three of the New Zealand First Act and National in 1167 00:54:04,893 --> 00:54:10,213 Speaker 22: the current coalition, it'll all add to the same, right, Yeah, 1168 00:54:10,613 --> 00:54:14,493 Speaker 22: I think it's a tick for me that they are 1169 00:54:14,613 --> 00:54:20,093 Speaker 22: finally getting this country going, you know. And it wasn't 1170 00:54:21,253 --> 00:54:23,253 Speaker 22: It wasn't a lot of fault with labor because of 1171 00:54:23,293 --> 00:54:26,493 Speaker 22: the the COVID and the way we had to do things, 1172 00:54:26,493 --> 00:54:29,493 Speaker 22: et cetera. But I think a lot of News Zanders 1173 00:54:29,733 --> 00:54:33,533 Speaker 22: would still think there was a lot of overspent unnecessary money. 1174 00:54:34,253 --> 00:54:37,853 Speaker 22: I can't trust the guy that was number two behind 1175 00:54:37,973 --> 00:54:41,493 Speaker 22: your cinder. So if they were to be any serious 1176 00:54:41,653 --> 00:54:44,333 Speaker 22: labor party, I think they should pick the new Labor 1177 00:54:45,013 --> 00:54:46,253 Speaker 22: leader before the next election. 1178 00:54:46,573 --> 00:54:49,373 Speaker 2: What kind of terrifying Australian animals behind you? Are you 1179 00:54:49,413 --> 00:54:51,733 Speaker 2: sure you're safe where you're standing there, Chris? 1180 00:54:52,173 --> 00:54:56,613 Speaker 22: Actually, it's quite funny. It's an Indian minded bird right 1181 00:54:57,693 --> 00:55:02,212 Speaker 22: down here, and I feed them. They like their own 1182 00:55:02,213 --> 00:55:05,333 Speaker 22: mind of birds are the gray ones, but feed. I 1183 00:55:05,413 --> 00:55:07,453 Speaker 22: feed all birds in and I love nature. 1184 00:55:07,733 --> 00:55:09,613 Speaker 2: Right, it sounds like a dinosaur, but I have a 1185 00:55:09,653 --> 00:55:12,973 Speaker 2: screech sound about like a velociraptive. Over down the phone line. 1186 00:55:13,733 --> 00:55:15,253 Speaker 22: You should see the sides of it. 1187 00:55:17,093 --> 00:55:17,773 Speaker 4: Now of course, of. 1188 00:55:17,693 --> 00:55:19,933 Speaker 2: Course in the Poles and you know, you're you're positive 1189 00:55:19,933 --> 00:55:22,533 Speaker 2: about it and looking in from Australia and you think 1190 00:55:22,573 --> 00:55:25,093 Speaker 2: the coalition's done a good job. But Poles at the 1191 00:55:25,173 --> 00:55:27,493 Speaker 2: end of last year were showing you know, a number 1192 00:55:27,493 --> 00:55:30,173 Speaker 2: of Poles showing labor polling higher than national. How do 1193 00:55:30,173 --> 00:55:31,053 Speaker 2: you explain that. 1194 00:55:32,933 --> 00:55:35,813 Speaker 22: There's a lot of people in New Zealand that are 1195 00:55:36,013 --> 00:55:43,573 Speaker 22: used to living off the government and there's a lot 1196 00:55:43,573 --> 00:55:47,613 Speaker 22: of New Zealanders that want to walk forward and do 1197 00:55:47,773 --> 00:55:50,773 Speaker 22: their own things. So when we need to be on 1198 00:55:50,853 --> 00:55:55,373 Speaker 22: the side of not tall poppy syndrome, but reward the 1199 00:55:55,453 --> 00:55:58,733 Speaker 22: people that are giving it a go and finally break 1200 00:55:58,773 --> 00:56:01,573 Speaker 22: out from just because you've got more. 1201 00:56:01,373 --> 00:56:03,053 Speaker 5: Than me, you suck. 1202 00:56:03,213 --> 00:56:06,613 Speaker 22: How about you teach me and I grow with you 1203 00:56:07,293 --> 00:56:12,373 Speaker 22: and have a positive mindset about life moving forward. Because 1204 00:56:12,733 --> 00:56:16,453 Speaker 22: that's actually a big sue he's on compared to Australia. Ye, 1205 00:56:17,213 --> 00:56:17,933 Speaker 22: just go for it. 1206 00:56:18,293 --> 00:56:22,652 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm talking to Australians that have come 1207 00:56:22,693 --> 00:56:24,493 Speaker 2: over here. I've talked to Australians that come over here 1208 00:56:24,533 --> 00:56:27,573 Speaker 2: and tried to do business over here, and they are 1209 00:56:28,573 --> 00:56:30,493 Speaker 2: what this guy said is people just lining up to 1210 00:56:30,533 --> 00:56:33,893 Speaker 2: find those they sit there finding that, not even allowing 1211 00:56:34,053 --> 00:56:37,173 Speaker 2: for the conversation of maybe let's just fantasize about this happening. 1212 00:56:37,213 --> 00:56:40,293 Speaker 2: It's immediately this won't happen. Traffic management, we can't do that. 1213 00:56:40,533 --> 00:56:42,413 Speaker 2: That's South and safety, you can't do this, you know. 1214 00:56:42,853 --> 00:56:44,493 Speaker 2: So I think I think that's a that's a that's 1215 00:56:44,693 --> 00:56:46,933 Speaker 2: a very good point, Chris, that I think just generally 1216 00:56:46,973 --> 00:56:50,533 Speaker 2: in New Zealand, we do need to celebrate the positive war. 1217 00:56:50,653 --> 00:56:53,333 Speaker 2: We've got to say, yes, whoever is in whoever's in power, 1218 00:56:53,893 --> 00:56:56,333 Speaker 2: because government's come and go. But we need to be 1219 00:56:56,453 --> 00:56:58,813 Speaker 2: more positive as a people. And you've got every reason 1220 00:56:58,813 --> 00:56:59,853 Speaker 2: to be positive in this country. 1221 00:56:59,893 --> 00:57:01,173 Speaker 4: We do. We live in paradise. 1222 00:57:01,933 --> 00:57:04,693 Speaker 2: Someone says, Tyler, how are you measuring that things are 1223 00:57:04,693 --> 00:57:06,973 Speaker 2: getting better? Honestly, how many people did you speak to 1224 00:57:07,053 --> 00:57:10,573 Speaker 2: that told you that for you to make that conclusion, Well, 1225 00:57:10,573 --> 00:57:11,813 Speaker 2: you said you got a vibe. You said it was 1226 00:57:11,813 --> 00:57:13,652 Speaker 2: a vibe. You said over the holidays, Tyler, that you 1227 00:57:13,693 --> 00:57:17,173 Speaker 2: had the vibe yep, that people were feeling more positive 1228 00:57:17,173 --> 00:57:18,053 Speaker 2: and things were getting better. 1229 00:57:18,133 --> 00:57:18,373 Speaker 5: Yep. 1230 00:57:18,573 --> 00:57:20,533 Speaker 4: And to quote the Castle, that's exactly what it is. 1231 00:57:20,573 --> 00:57:23,173 Speaker 4: It was the vibe. And that is important because perception 1232 00:57:23,573 --> 00:57:26,613 Speaker 4: can become reality, and when people are genuinely more happy 1233 00:57:26,693 --> 00:57:30,013 Speaker 4: and optimistic and positive about the future, then that's when 1234 00:57:30,173 --> 00:57:33,133 Speaker 4: it gets It's contagious, right, and then people start saying 1235 00:57:33,213 --> 00:57:35,653 Speaker 4: yes more and things can start to be delivered and 1236 00:57:35,773 --> 00:57:38,773 Speaker 4: action happens. So the vibe is important. I don't have 1237 00:57:38,813 --> 00:57:40,693 Speaker 4: facts and figures right in front of me right now, 1238 00:57:40,733 --> 00:57:43,973 Speaker 4: but the general vibe I found out there was that 1239 00:57:44,013 --> 00:57:45,933 Speaker 4: this is our year, so come on New Zealand. 1240 00:57:46,573 --> 00:57:49,613 Speaker 2: So that's so he's got to ask your question text, 1241 00:57:49,653 --> 00:57:51,213 Speaker 2: so he's got no stats or for us to. 1242 00:57:51,133 --> 00:57:53,853 Speaker 4: Pack up the vibe in the castle. 1243 00:57:54,253 --> 00:57:56,533 Speaker 2: We have every reason to feel positive. However, I'm sure 1244 00:57:56,653 --> 00:57:58,853 Speaker 2: that now the political media are back at work will 1245 00:57:58,853 --> 00:58:00,533 Speaker 2: try to drum up as much as you get use 1246 00:58:00,573 --> 00:58:04,493 Speaker 2: as possible. Can't help it, thinking we better off without them. Okay, okay, 1247 00:58:05,173 --> 00:58:07,613 Speaker 2: keep those sticks coming through, right. Well, I'll just pack 1248 00:58:07,653 --> 00:58:08,813 Speaker 2: it in then and go back on all of that. 1249 00:58:09,333 --> 00:58:11,493 Speaker 4: One hundred eighty ten eighty is a number to call. 1250 00:58:11,573 --> 00:58:13,573 Speaker 4: What do you want to see from any of the 1251 00:58:13,613 --> 00:58:16,293 Speaker 4: major parties to get your vote this election?

You go into the town and it feels 1311 01:01:01,333 --> 01:01:04,373 Speaker 2: very dead.

See, just flicking 1329 01:01:54,093 --> 01:01:55,173 Speaker 2: through the speech. 1330 01:01:55,133 --> 01:01:57,093 Speaker 4: So you might you might be out of luck for now, 1331 01:01:57,173 --> 01:02:00,773 Speaker 4: dear text, but you never know. It's another potentially eight 1332 01:02:00,813 --> 01:02:03,173 Speaker 4: months or so, or maybe longer until the election. But oh, 1333 01:02:03,253 --> 01:02:05,013 Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty ten eighty he was more. 1334 01:02:05,053 --> 01:02:07,773 Speaker 2: Inflation has fallen from over seven percent to three percent 1335 01:02:07,813 --> 01:02:10,773 Speaker 2: in straight have dropped in many households, reflecting from seven 1336 01:02:10,773 --> 01:02:12,573 Speaker 2: percent to four percent. More kind of that kind of thing. 1337 01:02:12,653 --> 01:02:14,413 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a bit more stable ground I think. 1338 01:02:14,373 --> 01:02:17,093 Speaker 2: For the ADP, growth has been driven by manufacturing experts, 1339 01:02:17,093 --> 01:02:20,733 Speaker 2: business investment, not housing speculations. So fireworks didn't come into 1340 01:02:20,773 --> 01:02:21,213 Speaker 2: that chat. 1341 01:02:21,933 --> 01:02:23,333 Speaker 4: Treva, how are you this afternoon? 1342 01:02:23,973 --> 01:02:24,573 Speaker 6: Are you guys. 1343 01:02:24,613 --> 01:02:26,533 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, very good. So what do you reckon? 1344 01:02:27,253 --> 01:02:29,173 Speaker 6: Well, I think that once again it's going to be 1345 01:02:29,293 --> 01:02:32,093 Speaker 6: coalition partners and a couple of things on that. I mean, 1346 01:02:32,173 --> 01:02:34,453 Speaker 6: I do say this quite regularly. I just hope just 1347 01:02:34,493 --> 01:02:37,933 Speaker 6: Sinder doing sends Winston a thank you card at least 1348 01:02:37,933 --> 01:02:40,653 Speaker 6: fun to year, because if it wasn't for Winston, we 1349 01:02:40,693 --> 01:02:42,773 Speaker 6: wouldn't have got to Sunder and the woke world and 1350 01:02:42,813 --> 01:02:46,973 Speaker 6: have got to Cinder, probably because in twenty seventeen National 1351 01:02:47,093 --> 01:02:50,453 Speaker 6: won the most seats and it was generally accepted Winston 1352 01:02:50,573 --> 01:02:52,813 Speaker 6: was going to go for them. Then he shocked everybody 1353 01:02:52,853 --> 01:02:55,653 Speaker 6: by putting the country voted right and went and put 1354 01:02:55,653 --> 01:02:56,533 Speaker 6: a left party in. 1355 01:02:56,853 --> 01:02:58,253 Speaker 4: Did you see him doing that again, Trevor? 1356 01:02:59,013 --> 01:02:59,533 Speaker 15: Wow? 1357 01:03:00,493 --> 01:03:00,853 Speaker 22: Why not? 1358 01:03:01,013 --> 01:03:02,733 Speaker 6: That's the real problem. He said, you won't. 1359 01:03:02,773 --> 01:03:04,773 Speaker 5: But why not because a lot of people. 1360 01:03:04,493 --> 01:03:06,693 Speaker 6: Were shocked that he did. He didn't have a bit 1361 01:03:06,693 --> 01:03:08,173 Speaker 6: of a reason, I suppose. I mean, he didn't tell 1362 01:03:08,533 --> 01:03:11,573 Speaker 6: for that election that he was taking some National MP's 1363 01:03:11,653 --> 01:03:14,213 Speaker 6: to court because of he said they lead some of 1364 01:03:14,253 --> 01:03:18,613 Speaker 6: his timement policy. But anyway, so as I say, I mean, 1365 01:03:18,733 --> 01:03:20,853 Speaker 6: as I say, I just hope to Sinda keeps in 1366 01:03:20,893 --> 01:03:23,453 Speaker 6: touch with him because she wouldn't be doing what she's 1367 01:03:23,493 --> 01:03:25,853 Speaker 6: doing now if it wasn't for Winston, you know. And 1368 01:03:25,973 --> 01:03:29,693 Speaker 6: also on coalitions, you know, if we criticize Chris Lucktin, 1369 01:03:30,053 --> 01:03:33,973 Speaker 6: we have to congratulate them on keeping this coalition of 1370 01:03:34,053 --> 01:03:37,733 Speaker 6: three parties together and seems to be working pretty well 1371 01:03:37,773 --> 01:03:42,013 Speaker 6: because the other two leaders in the coalition are pretty staunch, 1372 01:03:42,453 --> 01:03:46,053 Speaker 6: single minded, strong talking people, and they have her little 1373 01:03:46,053 --> 01:03:49,213 Speaker 6: personal digits of each other, but they're still professional enough 1374 01:03:49,253 --> 01:03:52,213 Speaker 6: to you know, carry on with the job that they 1375 01:03:52,213 --> 01:03:55,253 Speaker 6: were given in the last election. So yeah, so I'd 1376 01:03:55,253 --> 01:03:57,453 Speaker 6: say you have to give it a Christopher, the Christopher 1377 01:03:57,533 --> 01:03:58,093 Speaker 6: Lucton for that. 1378 01:03:58,533 --> 01:04:00,893 Speaker 2: I mean, people forget what a basket case National was 1379 01:04:01,533 --> 01:04:03,533 Speaker 2: at night before lucks And came in, he had there's 1380 01:04:03,653 --> 01:04:07,893 Speaker 2: fighting factions, there were leaks absolutely everywhere. So before they 1381 01:04:07,933 --> 01:04:11,373 Speaker 2: could even and move forward, that had to be steadied up. 1382 01:04:11,413 --> 01:04:13,573 Speaker 2: The whole the whole organization need to be studied up. 1383 01:04:13,613 --> 01:04:16,413 Speaker 2: And whether you whether you like or support National or not, 1384 01:04:16,493 --> 01:04:19,053 Speaker 2: I don't think anyone can deny that he's sorted out there. 1385 01:04:19,093 --> 01:04:20,333 Speaker 2: You know, he righted the ship. 1386 01:04:21,213 --> 01:04:24,933 Speaker 6: Just one other thing, talking about coalitions, maybe the future one, 1387 01:04:25,093 --> 01:04:27,813 Speaker 6: I mean people monted this one, but I mean let's 1388 01:04:27,813 --> 01:04:29,773 Speaker 6: face it, there's going to be a very good chance 1389 01:04:30,293 --> 01:04:33,213 Speaker 6: if Labor do get into power, it will be worth 1390 01:04:33,453 --> 01:04:35,573 Speaker 6: it could be and it's a good chance, but it'll 1391 01:04:35,613 --> 01:04:38,373 Speaker 6: be with the Green and to party Marry and look, 1392 01:04:38,413 --> 01:04:40,573 Speaker 6: I just want to remind people, you know, how staunch 1393 01:04:40,613 --> 01:04:43,093 Speaker 6: will the Greens be. I mean, you know, we want 1394 01:04:43,133 --> 01:04:46,413 Speaker 6: Tabitha Paul to be the Minister Police. She defunds the police, 1395 01:04:47,053 --> 01:04:48,773 Speaker 6: she won't have a job then. But you know their 1396 01:04:48,853 --> 01:04:54,173 Speaker 6: theory is that the fund the police. The Greens policy 1397 01:04:54,413 --> 01:04:57,053 Speaker 6: is that everybody on a benefit should be given two 1398 01:04:57,173 --> 01:05:00,733 Speaker 6: hundred and fifty dollars straight away every week, so they're 1399 01:05:00,773 --> 01:05:01,653 Speaker 6: on a Liverpool wage. 1400 01:05:01,693 --> 01:05:02,373 Speaker 12: So this is what. 1401 01:05:02,293 --> 01:05:04,973 Speaker 6: People have to think about. What will the Green's bottom 1402 01:05:04,973 --> 01:05:05,333 Speaker 6: line be. 1403 01:05:05,933 --> 01:05:10,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting actually because you know that you know, 1404 01:05:10,093 --> 01:05:12,493 Speaker 2: the coalition of Chaos attack hasn't really worked, has it, 1405 01:05:12,733 --> 01:05:16,533 Speaker 2: because they keep saying coalition of chaos, coalition of chaos, 1406 01:05:16,573 --> 01:05:19,693 Speaker 2: coalition of chaos, but you know they can't point to 1407 01:05:19,773 --> 01:05:23,413 Speaker 2: their potential coalition as not being a coalition of chaos. 1408 01:05:23,893 --> 01:05:26,453 Speaker 4: Trevor, thank you very much for your point on that. 1409 01:05:26,653 --> 01:05:28,653 Speaker 4: I think just on the coalition they're going to have 1410 01:05:28,773 --> 01:05:31,093 Speaker 4: to whether it's Labor or National. I think National being 1411 01:05:31,093 --> 01:05:32,853 Speaker 4: pretty clear on who they can and can't work with, 1412 01:05:33,013 --> 01:05:34,493 Speaker 4: But Labor's going to have to right, They're going to 1413 01:05:34,573 --> 01:05:35,813 Speaker 4: have to put a line in the sand when it 1414 01:05:35,813 --> 01:05:38,493 Speaker 4: comes to the Pati Mario I No. Chris Hipkins had 1415 01:05:38,533 --> 01:05:41,533 Speaker 4: some stronger language at the end of last year saying 1416 01:05:41,573 --> 01:05:43,813 Speaker 4: that they are not ready for government. Didn't quite rule 1417 01:05:43,893 --> 01:05:46,453 Speaker 4: them out. But then the Green Party, I mean, certainly 1418 01:05:46,493 --> 01:05:48,493 Speaker 4: they need the Greens, but he's going to have to 1419 01:05:48,613 --> 01:05:50,613 Speaker 4: take a stand and say, yes, we're going to form 1420 01:05:50,613 --> 01:05:52,053 Speaker 4: a coalition with the Greens. Are we going to work 1421 01:05:52,053 --> 01:05:53,253 Speaker 4: with the Greens or we're not going to work with 1422 01:05:53,293 --> 01:05:53,653 Speaker 4: the Greens. 1423 01:05:53,693 --> 01:05:57,733 Speaker 2: Can we really imagine a situation though, where as we 1424 01:05:57,813 --> 01:06:01,653 Speaker 2: had in twenty seventeen when Bill English and his National 1425 01:06:01,653 --> 01:06:06,653 Speaker 2: Party got the most votes and then Winston decided to 1426 01:06:06,653 --> 01:06:08,973 Speaker 2: go with Labor. Can can you imagine this situation like that? 1427 01:06:09,053 --> 01:06:10,893 Speaker 2: Surely Winston wouldn't do that. 1428 01:06:10,853 --> 01:06:13,613 Speaker 4: Again, you say that now you just never know with 1429 01:06:13,693 --> 01:06:16,613 Speaker 4: Winston Peters Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty love to 1430 01:06:16,653 --> 01:06:19,013 Speaker 4: hear from you.

That does a very big job. 1505 01:09:47,293 --> 01:09:51,173 Speaker 2: Although we are looking at the four year term being 1506 01:09:51,452 --> 01:09:53,213 Speaker 2: part of the election, aren't we. Oh yeah, correct them 1507 01:09:53,213 --> 01:09:53,372 Speaker 2: on that. 1508 01:09:53,492 --> 01:09:55,293 Speaker 4: Yep, I believe, and I think most people would be 1509 01:09:55,293 --> 01:09:58,253 Speaker 4: in favor of that. Nineteen ninety two is the text number. 1510 01:09:58,333 --> 01:09:59,452 Speaker 4: Love to you from you though on our eight one 1511 01:09:59,492 --> 01:10:01,852 Speaker 4: hundred and eighty ten eighty. What is the big priority 1512 01:10:01,893 --> 01:10:03,852 Speaker 4: for you heading into the election year? What do you 1513 01:10:03,853 --> 01:10:05,172 Speaker 4: want to see from the big parties? 1514 01:10:05,293 --> 01:10:08,773 Speaker 2: The six this afternoon, you young boomers. 1515 01:10:08,933 --> 01:10:09,372 Speaker 4: I kind of. 1516 01:10:09,372 --> 01:10:12,372 Speaker 2: Stopped listening to people when they bring up a deern. Now, 1517 01:10:13,053 --> 01:10:15,973 Speaker 2: can National supports stick to what National is doing or do? 1518 01:10:16,293 --> 01:10:18,852 Speaker 2: I'm sick of the winging about others. Let's just hear 1519 01:10:18,893 --> 01:10:22,612 Speaker 2: what your party will do and not what others might do. 1520 01:10:22,772 --> 01:10:25,972 Speaker 2: Matt Well, that is interesting actually, because Ethan did say 1521 01:10:26,173 --> 01:10:29,932 Speaker 2: in Christopher Luxen's State of the Nation's speech he didn't 1522 01:10:29,973 --> 01:10:32,972 Speaker 2: mention labor nearly as much as he had in the past. 1523 01:10:33,053 --> 01:10:36,932 Speaker 4: Yeah, which good. It's fantastic because I think most people 1524 01:10:36,973 --> 01:10:39,213 Speaker 4: out there, when you start blaming the other guys for 1525 01:10:39,293 --> 01:10:41,572 Speaker 4: too long. People get a bit tight of that. It's 1526 01:10:41,572 --> 01:10:43,852 Speaker 4: time to start actually looking ahead on what you can deliver. 1527 01:10:43,893 --> 01:10:46,132 Speaker 4: And it seems in the State of a Nation speech 1528 01:10:46,173 --> 01:10:49,412 Speaker 4: you just delivered, they're looking to do just there. Oh eight, 1529 01:10:49,412 --> 01:10:51,732 Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1530 01:10:52,093 --> 01:10:54,372 Speaker 4: Let's have a chat to ray, get a ray. How 1531 01:10:54,412 --> 01:10:56,412 Speaker 4: do you feel about the year ahead? 1532 01:10:57,812 --> 01:10:58,213 Speaker 3: Matt A. 1533 01:10:58,412 --> 01:11:01,172 Speaker 9: Tyler. First of all, congratulations, I'm getting engaged. 1534 01:11:01,173 --> 01:11:02,052 Speaker 12: There's awesome news. 1535 01:11:02,133 --> 01:11:03,452 Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. 1536 01:11:04,133 --> 01:11:04,293 Speaker 12: Hey. 1537 01:11:04,372 --> 01:11:07,452 Speaker 9: So I reckon politically, I reckon. The vibe is pretty good. 1538 01:11:07,612 --> 01:11:10,173 Speaker 9: Like I think a lot of the films actually doing better, 1539 01:11:10,652 --> 01:11:12,972 Speaker 9: doing well on things are not too tough for them. 1540 01:11:13,732 --> 01:11:15,772 Speaker 9: Two things that I'd really like to see from the 1541 01:11:15,812 --> 01:11:19,012 Speaker 9: elections this year. One I'd like to see whence Peter's 1542 01:11:19,053 --> 01:11:21,892 Speaker 9: actually commits to being part of the coalition. He's been 1543 01:11:21,933 --> 01:11:24,532 Speaker 9: part of the coalition coalition for the past three years, 1544 01:11:24,732 --> 01:11:28,213 Speaker 9: he's been the deputy Prime Minister. He actually needs for 1545 01:11:28,293 --> 01:11:30,173 Speaker 9: a line on the grounds I have caused I'm going 1546 01:11:30,253 --> 01:11:33,452 Speaker 9: with national and act. Of course, I'm not going to 1547 01:11:33,492 --> 01:11:35,932 Speaker 9: go with the pilleral Left. I'd like to see him 1548 01:11:35,933 --> 01:11:38,572 Speaker 9: for line on the ground and state that clearly. 1549 01:11:39,293 --> 01:11:41,693 Speaker 2: So he said. All he said is that he will 1550 01:11:41,772 --> 01:11:45,412 Speaker 2: not go into he thinks Chris, sorry, Chris Hopkins is 1551 01:11:45,452 --> 01:11:48,372 Speaker 2: a liar. Hopkins is a liar, and he won't go 1552 01:11:48,452 --> 01:11:51,612 Speaker 2: into a coalition with Hipkins. But I think, I think, 1553 01:11:51,612 --> 01:11:54,732 Speaker 2: I think Hopkins is Hopkins is locked in for the election. 1554 01:11:54,853 --> 01:11:56,812 Speaker 4: I seems pretty secure because Labor. 1555 01:11:57,933 --> 01:12:01,372 Speaker 2: Labor's polling quite well, so I don't think Hopkins is 1556 01:12:01,412 --> 01:12:04,173 Speaker 2: in trouble there. But then again, you know, as we 1557 01:12:04,173 --> 01:12:06,732 Speaker 2: were saying before Ray, you can mention the situation where 1558 01:12:06,933 --> 01:12:09,893 Speaker 2: in part of the negotiation it's contest to go like 1559 01:12:09,933 --> 01:12:11,612 Speaker 2: there's always a way you can spin it where we 1560 01:12:11,652 --> 01:12:12,173 Speaker 2: could do it. 1561 01:12:12,973 --> 01:12:16,213 Speaker 9: That's I'd really want one some paters to be clear 1562 01:12:16,293 --> 01:12:18,412 Speaker 9: with the public about who he'll go with, and it's 1563 01:12:18,452 --> 01:12:21,572 Speaker 9: got to be National and Act. I think the second 1564 01:12:21,572 --> 01:12:23,133 Speaker 9: thing I'd like to see, which I haven't seen anyone 1565 01:12:23,173 --> 01:12:27,093 Speaker 9: talking about, is I was like to know the positions 1566 01:12:27,173 --> 01:12:31,492 Speaker 9: of National Act and Zarmfirs on immigration. Now a n 1567 01:12:31,572 --> 01:12:34,293 Speaker 9: anti immigration. I think immigration is a good thing, but 1568 01:12:34,933 --> 01:12:37,573 Speaker 9: I think we need to get immigrants from all countries, 1569 01:12:37,893 --> 01:12:41,932 Speaker 9: not just from China and India, like, in my opinion, 1570 01:12:42,093 --> 01:12:43,932 Speaker 9: we need I want to know how how is only 1571 01:12:43,973 --> 01:12:47,293 Speaker 9: going to get the high value immigrants from from America, 1572 01:12:47,532 --> 01:12:51,133 Speaker 9: from Canada, from Europe, from Australia. How are we going 1573 01:12:51,173 --> 01:12:53,412 Speaker 9: to attract those people can do on? That's what I'd 1574 01:12:53,412 --> 01:12:57,012 Speaker 9: love to know. I'd love to hear a political party 1575 01:12:57,093 --> 01:13:02,932 Speaker 9: say we recognize that New Zealand is a country based 1576 01:13:02,933 --> 01:13:06,372 Speaker 9: on Anglo Saxon valleys, and we want to attract a 1577 01:13:06,532 --> 01:13:09,133 Speaker 9: range of immigrants, but we also want to pull them 1578 01:13:09,133 --> 01:13:13,372 Speaker 9: from countries very similar things on such as America, Australia, 1579 01:13:13,893 --> 01:13:18,253 Speaker 9: Europe and Canada. Like I concerns me that we're only 1580 01:13:18,293 --> 01:13:21,333 Speaker 9: getting immigration from our cold countries. And as said, I'm 1581 01:13:21,372 --> 01:13:24,573 Speaker 9: not anti immigration. I would just like to see immigration 1582 01:13:24,652 --> 01:13:29,412 Speaker 9: from all countries who would have similar values to New Zealand. 1583 01:13:29,812 --> 01:13:32,293 Speaker 2: It's interesting for me. I see a lot of I 1584 01:13:32,532 --> 01:13:34,333 Speaker 2: need to bring the stats up, but I think we 1585 01:13:34,412 --> 01:13:37,132 Speaker 2: still get a lot. I mean, if we'll take people 1586 01:13:37,173 --> 01:13:39,612 Speaker 2: from anywhere, we're not ruling out any particular countries that 1587 01:13:39,652 --> 01:13:43,253 Speaker 2: I know of. Yeah, so really, if you know, And 1588 01:13:43,692 --> 01:13:46,333 Speaker 2: when I'm around meeting people, and maybe these are just 1589 01:13:46,372 --> 01:13:48,293 Speaker 2: the circles that I operate in, but I run into 1590 01:13:48,333 --> 01:13:50,772 Speaker 2: a lot of people that have migrated here from Great Britain. 1591 01:13:51,412 --> 01:13:55,612 Speaker 2: So I think it goes Indian, Philippines, China and Great 1592 01:13:55,652 --> 01:13:56,692 Speaker 2: Britain's up there. 1593 01:13:56,853 --> 01:14:00,652 Speaker 4: Yeah, but how do you I mean, you've got to 1594 01:14:00,652 --> 01:14:02,692 Speaker 4: be competiti off on the global stage, right. If you 1595 01:14:02,732 --> 01:14:07,932 Speaker 4: want the high value migrants from whatever country, you've got 1596 01:14:07,973 --> 01:14:09,213 Speaker 4: to give them some good offers. And I think the 1597 01:14:09,253 --> 01:14:11,293 Speaker 4: Golden Visa goes some way to get the very wealthy 1598 01:14:11,293 --> 01:14:13,612 Speaker 4: individuals here. But also you're going to be competitive as 1599 01:14:13,612 --> 01:14:15,692 Speaker 4: a country because you know, there's a lot of options 1600 01:14:15,692 --> 01:14:16,612 Speaker 4: for those people out there. 1601 01:14:17,333 --> 01:14:20,213 Speaker 9: You know, you know which country these are needs to 1602 01:14:20,253 --> 01:14:25,412 Speaker 9: be like Ireland, Ireland or Singapore, Like both those countries 1603 01:14:25,452 --> 01:14:27,932 Speaker 9: made as ill was really attractive for business to come 1604 01:14:28,013 --> 01:14:30,852 Speaker 9: to there. You think about lecal new premier from Singapore 1605 01:14:30,933 --> 01:14:35,133 Speaker 9: turns Singapore around within a generation. Like this is above 1606 01:14:35,213 --> 01:14:38,652 Speaker 9: my pay grade, But I'd love to see politians go, Okay, 1607 01:14:38,692 --> 01:14:40,093 Speaker 9: well this is how we make and he's on an 1608 01:14:40,093 --> 01:14:42,772 Speaker 9: attracts of place for people to come to because we've 1609 01:14:42,772 --> 01:14:46,892 Speaker 9: got this beautiful, peaceful country. But is it the place 1610 01:14:46,933 --> 01:14:49,333 Speaker 9: you would want to go if you had the options 1611 01:14:49,333 --> 01:14:53,772 Speaker 9: of Australia, America, Canada, Europe? Maybe, But like, what can 1612 01:14:53,812 --> 01:14:56,772 Speaker 9: we do to really make ourselves attractive as a country 1613 01:14:56,812 --> 01:14:59,653 Speaker 9: to get over those high value immigrants. 1614 01:15:00,853 --> 01:15:03,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, did you I saw this interesting thing from Jimmy Carr. 1615 01:15:03,213 --> 01:15:05,732 Speaker 2: You know, the comedian's actually a deep thinker, and he 1616 01:15:05,893 --> 01:15:07,812 Speaker 2: was he was talking about high value. He's talking about 1617 01:15:07,812 --> 01:15:09,892 Speaker 2: Great Britain, saying that they're always talk about getting higher 1618 01:15:09,933 --> 01:15:12,412 Speaker 2: value immigrants there. But he were saying, isn't it kind 1619 01:15:12,412 --> 01:15:15,253 Speaker 2: of a failure when you have failed to train your 1620 01:15:15,293 --> 01:15:19,692 Speaker 2: people in your own country to do these jobs? Say 1621 01:15:19,732 --> 01:15:23,372 Speaker 2: you take it? So he was saying that you take doctors. 1622 01:15:23,412 --> 01:15:25,972 Speaker 2: We always say we don't have enough doctors, but why 1623 01:15:26,013 --> 01:15:27,253 Speaker 2: aren't we training enough doctors. 1624 01:15:27,333 --> 01:15:29,852 Speaker 4: It's a good point because if you just rely on 1625 01:15:29,893 --> 01:15:33,053 Speaker 4: importing good doctors and that's not a sustainable change the. 1626 01:15:33,013 --> 01:15:34,932 Speaker 2: System such that we have a lot of doctors that 1627 01:15:34,973 --> 01:15:37,612 Speaker 2: we train here. Yeah, hey, thanks you, thank you. Cool. 1628 01:15:37,692 --> 01:15:40,572 Speaker 2: Ray appreciate it. Oh no, you go sorry, Ray, Sorry. 1629 01:15:40,612 --> 01:15:40,772 Speaker 15: Ray. 1630 01:15:41,293 --> 01:15:42,812 Speaker 9: One more point. I was like, what we know in 1631 01:15:42,812 --> 01:15:45,412 Speaker 9: your tell is that the one of the fastest growing 1632 01:15:45,452 --> 01:15:50,972 Speaker 9: populations are maray. So in my twenty fifty about about 1633 01:15:51,372 --> 01:15:54,253 Speaker 9: a third of the population run fifteen percent will be married. 1634 01:15:54,293 --> 01:15:57,492 Speaker 9: So what I would love to see from political parties 1635 01:15:57,572 --> 01:16:00,612 Speaker 9: is how are going to ensure that Mary is get 1636 01:16:00,652 --> 01:16:03,492 Speaker 9: into the positions where they can be doctors, lawyers, where 1637 01:16:03,492 --> 01:16:05,492 Speaker 9: we can make sure they're taking going into all those 1638 01:16:05,893 --> 01:16:08,812 Speaker 9: high paying jobs like i'd really love to see. 1639 01:16:09,013 --> 01:16:13,813 Speaker 2: Well we have, you know, Tiger University for example, there's pathways. 1640 01:16:14,893 --> 01:16:18,093 Speaker 2: You know. I've got a kid I was talking to 1641 01:16:18,173 --> 01:16:23,652 Speaker 2: recently who has has marks were incredibly high. He's of 1642 01:16:23,732 --> 01:16:28,173 Speaker 2: Chinese ancestry, but Kiwi and he didn't get into med 1643 01:16:28,213 --> 01:16:31,293 Speaker 2: school because med school does have pathways for Maori and 1644 01:16:31,293 --> 01:16:34,452 Speaker 2: Pacifica that are different from the pathways from from for 1645 01:16:34,492 --> 01:16:38,893 Speaker 2: everyone else. Yeah sure, yeah, all right, Hey, thank you 1646 01:16:38,933 --> 01:16:39,532 Speaker 2: for you cool ray. 1647 01:16:39,652 --> 01:16:40,812 Speaker 4: Interesting points are. 1648 01:16:42,293 --> 01:16:46,812 Speaker 2: The Philippines.

But the 1719 01:20:09,133 --> 01:20:12,692 Speaker 4: I went for what they call a placeholder ring, And 1720 01:20:12,973 --> 01:20:15,213 Speaker 4: what that effectively is is that I went for a 1721 01:20:15,253 --> 01:20:17,812 Speaker 4: budget option ring that looks nice when you take a 1722 01:20:17,853 --> 01:20:19,772 Speaker 4: photo of it, because that's you know, we've got to 1723 01:20:19,772 --> 01:20:21,652 Speaker 4: take a photo for social media and post it up. 1724 01:20:22,933 --> 01:20:25,013 Speaker 4: But when I mentioned that to the auntie. So the 1725 01:20:25,053 --> 01:20:27,572 Speaker 4: idea behind the placeholder you go cheap option. Then me 1726 01:20:27,692 --> 01:20:31,612 Speaker 4: and Mayve can go and select a ring that she 1727 01:20:31,732 --> 01:20:34,692 Speaker 4: would prefer herself instead of a numpty like me going 1728 01:20:34,732 --> 01:20:37,572 Speaker 4: out there making a design choice which I know I'm 1729 01:20:37,572 --> 01:20:39,812 Speaker 4: going to stuff up and she hates the ring, So 1730 01:20:39,893 --> 01:20:42,652 Speaker 4: this way she gets to pack the forever ring that 1731 01:20:42,692 --> 01:20:43,572 Speaker 4: she actually likes. 1732 01:20:43,933 --> 01:20:49,892 Speaker 2: But shouldn't the ring be a couple of things. A firstly, 1733 01:20:50,933 --> 01:20:53,412 Speaker 2: a show of how much money you're willing to spend 1734 01:20:53,412 --> 01:20:57,652 Speaker 2: on them. So you're saying the amount the value is 1735 01:20:57,652 --> 01:21:01,772 Speaker 2: equal to your love. So you'll say, here is my offer. 1736 01:21:02,532 --> 01:21:06,812 Speaker 2: My offer is for your hand, but this is how 1737 01:21:06,893 --> 01:21:08,973 Speaker 2: much I think it's worth. And so when you have 1738 01:21:08,973 --> 01:21:12,253 Speaker 2: a placeholder ring, you're saying it's worth whatever. Placeholder rings worth. 1739 01:21:12,173 --> 01:21:15,213 Speaker 4: Couple hundred bucks. Yeah. 1740 01:21:15,253 --> 01:21:18,852 Speaker 2: And secondly, it's just like any gift, it's a statement 1741 01:21:19,293 --> 01:21:22,612 Speaker 2: of what you believe in your heart. They will like 1742 01:21:22,732 --> 01:21:25,532 Speaker 2: in a demonstration of how much you know them. So 1743 01:21:26,053 --> 01:21:28,973 Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Tyler, is that the placeholder ring is 1744 01:21:29,013 --> 01:21:33,572 Speaker 2: a cowards ring. Well, it's a cheap cowards ring. I 1745 01:21:33,572 --> 01:21:35,452 Speaker 2: don't take this the wrong way. I mean, why I 1746 01:21:35,532 --> 01:21:38,012 Speaker 2: shed a tear when when I when when I heard 1747 01:21:38,053 --> 01:21:42,013 Speaker 2: that you would finally drop the drop the question, did 1748 01:21:42,053 --> 01:21:43,132 Speaker 2: the knee dropped the knee. 1749 01:21:43,173 --> 01:21:45,652 Speaker 4: More emotional than I was. I was, yea, which is 1750 01:21:45,652 --> 01:21:46,173 Speaker 4: a nice thing. 1751 01:21:47,372 --> 01:21:49,253 Speaker 2: I thought it beautiful. But when you talk about this 1752 01:21:49,293 --> 01:21:51,492 Speaker 2: placeholder ring, like the two words that come to my 1753 01:21:51,532 --> 01:21:54,212 Speaker 2: mind is cheap and thoughtless. 1754 01:21:54,213 --> 01:21:58,973 Speaker 23: But well, but you bitted that because when I when 1755 01:21:59,013 --> 01:22:01,652 Speaker 23: I talked about the placeholder ring and maves Aunties, love 1756 01:22:01,732 --> 01:22:04,973 Speaker 23: Mave's Aunties, the phenomenal people, and and I've got a 1757 01:22:04,973 --> 01:22:07,932 Speaker 23: good eye for good stuff as well, but they kind 1758 01:22:07,933 --> 01:22:09,652 Speaker 23: of raise the eyebrow a little bit, and they said, 1759 01:22:09,692 --> 01:22:11,213 Speaker 23: and they were trying to be diplomatic, but I know 1760 01:22:11,253 --> 01:22:11,933 Speaker 23: what they were getting at. 1761 01:22:11,933 --> 01:22:13,812 Speaker 4: And they said, I've never heard of that before.

It's what I went for. Did 1992 01:32:06,253 --> 01:32:07,892 Speaker 4: I make a mistake? Was it a bit cowardly? 1993 01:32:08,173 --> 01:32:08,492 Speaker 1: Or why? 1994 01:32:08,893 --> 01:32:11,012 Speaker 4: Is it what you should do?

Propose either with the real ring, You've done 1998 01:32:18,692 --> 01:32:21,612 Speaker 2: your homework on or no ring and no announcement till 1999 01:32:21,612 --> 01:32:24,013 Speaker 2: the ring thing is brought. So when you showed it 2000 01:32:24,013 --> 01:32:25,492 Speaker 2: to her, how quickly did you tell her that it 2001 01:32:25,572 --> 01:32:29,452 Speaker 2: was a placement ring and not the actual final deal? Tyler? 2002 01:32:29,853 --> 01:32:32,173 Speaker 4: I let her have those hopes and dreams for at 2003 01:32:32,333 --> 01:32:34,452 Speaker 4: least a couple of minutes before I said because he's hit, 2004 01:32:34,853 --> 01:32:36,812 Speaker 4: so say, man, that's a big rock, and that I 2005 01:32:36,853 --> 01:32:39,093 Speaker 4: had to say at that point as to say, look, 2006 01:32:39,093 --> 01:32:41,253 Speaker 4: this is just a placeholder ring. That's not a real 2007 01:32:41,333 --> 01:32:44,652 Speaker 4: diamond by any of the imagination. Oh eighte hundred and 2008 01:32:44,652 --> 01:32:46,572 Speaker 4: eighty ten eighty is another to call nine two nine 2009 01:32:46,572 --> 01:32:47,653 Speaker 4: sees the text. 2010 01:32:47,452 --> 01:32:49,652 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm taking a bit of a hammering on the text. 2011 01:32:49,532 --> 01:32:51,173 Speaker 4: Or she had that next twenty three past three. 2012 01:32:51,213 --> 01:32:59,052 Speaker 16: I'm actually a very deep individual, Matt Heathen Tyler Adams 2013 01:32:59,093 --> 01:33:02,333 Speaker 16: afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty on used 2014 01:33:02,372 --> 01:33:03,213 Speaker 16: talk ZIB. 2015 01:33:03,293 --> 01:33:05,532 Speaker 4: Twenty five past three. So we're talking about the idea 2016 01:33:05,572 --> 01:33:08,612 Speaker 4: of a placeholder ring. This is a budget style that 2017 01:33:08,732 --> 01:33:12,093 Speaker 4: looks okay in many aspects, but it's fake. That's what 2018 01:33:12,133 --> 01:33:14,532 Speaker 4: I did when I proposed to mave. Was that the 2019 01:33:14,612 --> 01:33:16,412 Speaker 4: wrong move? It seems to be fifty to fifty at 2020 01:33:16,452 --> 01:33:18,892 Speaker 4: the moment between whether the placeholder ring is a bit 2021 01:33:18,973 --> 01:33:21,852 Speaker 4: cheap and tasteless and whether it was you know, makes 2022 01:33:21,853 --> 01:33:23,333 Speaker 4: sense for her to pick the design. 2023 01:33:23,812 --> 01:33:25,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the problem as well is that 2024 01:33:25,412 --> 01:33:29,012 Speaker 2: you went for a big rock on a big fake rock. Yeah, 2025 01:33:29,093 --> 01:33:31,572 Speaker 2: that's the piece of information you've just shared recently. So 2026 01:33:31,652 --> 01:33:34,852 Speaker 2: then she's looking at going, Tyler spent fifty thousand dollars 2027 01:33:34,893 --> 01:33:36,572 Speaker 2: on this, and. 2028 01:33:36,572 --> 01:33:38,412 Speaker 4: I had to break your little heart. You say, what 2029 01:33:38,772 --> 01:33:43,852 Speaker 4: two hundred? It's a nice looking ring. And the secondary question. 2030 01:33:43,652 --> 01:33:46,572 Speaker 2: You're talking about here, Tyler and these people are saying 2031 01:33:46,572 --> 01:33:49,412 Speaker 2: I'm shallow because I'm talking about the money and saying 2032 01:33:49,452 --> 01:33:51,093 Speaker 2: that the money doesn't matter. I think that. I think 2033 01:33:51,173 --> 01:33:53,892 Speaker 2: money is part of a relationship. I think it is 2034 01:33:54,412 --> 01:33:57,772 Speaker 2: because marriage is. It's about being able to provide for someone. 2035 01:33:57,853 --> 01:33:59,612 Speaker 2: Isn't it? Isn't that? Aren't you saying I'm going to 2036 01:33:59,692 --> 01:34:02,732 Speaker 2: look after you? Isn't that? Is that? An old is that. 2037 01:34:02,732 --> 01:34:05,572 Speaker 4: Sexist ladies can handle themselves. Gount they a one hundred 2038 01:34:05,572 --> 01:34:06,412 Speaker 4: and eighty to daddy. 2039 01:34:06,333 --> 01:34:08,333 Speaker 2: What they can, but they don't. Maybe the don't want to. 2040 01:34:08,812 --> 01:34:11,973 Speaker 2: Aren't you saying like I'm gonna I'm gonna you know 2041 01:34:12,053 --> 01:34:14,012 Speaker 2: you're going to be okay, you don't have to worry 2042 01:34:14,053 --> 01:34:16,053 Speaker 2: about stuff anymore. Isn't that the whole point? And then 2043 01:34:16,093 --> 01:34:17,132 Speaker 2: you go look at me, Look, I've. 2044 01:34:16,973 --> 01:34:19,293 Speaker 4: Just I've just dropped twenty five thousand dollars on this 2045 01:34:19,412 --> 01:34:22,692 Speaker 4: massive rock broke. Now I've got no money for the wedding. 2046 01:34:22,973 --> 01:34:26,092 Speaker 2: Bad news is foreclosed on the mortgage. 2047 01:34:27,572 --> 01:34:31,053 Speaker 4: Diane, how are you very well? Thank you, nice to 2048 01:34:31,133 --> 01:34:33,253 Speaker 4: chat with you. So let's start with placeholder rings. 2049 01:34:33,333 --> 01:34:33,492 Speaker 10: Is that? 2050 01:34:33,612 --> 01:34:35,252 Speaker 4: Is that a bit nath Is it a bit cowardly? 2051 01:34:35,612 --> 01:34:36,532 Speaker 4: Or is it the right move? 2052 01:34:37,853 --> 01:34:38,093 Speaker 9: Well? 2053 01:34:38,492 --> 01:34:45,173 Speaker 7: Purchase saying an engagement is a very emotional purture and 2054 01:34:45,452 --> 01:34:50,173 Speaker 7: deserves all the attention to detail required for the best 2055 01:34:50,412 --> 01:34:54,492 Speaker 7: outcome to the stroll the person that is receiving it, 2056 01:34:54,652 --> 01:34:58,012 Speaker 7: and to make the experience with a person acquiring plain, 2057 01:34:58,133 --> 01:35:02,093 Speaker 7: sailing and informative and give him confidence he's got it right. 2058 01:35:02,652 --> 01:35:05,093 Speaker 4: Well, okay, it is deep. You've thought about this, you 2059 01:35:05,133 --> 01:35:10,692 Speaker 4: have so and so then we look at the lab 2060 01:35:10,732 --> 01:35:13,972 Speaker 4: growing versus that the natural diamond. I'm a big fan 2061 01:35:14,013 --> 01:35:18,412 Speaker 4: of lab growing because I think it is identical to 2062 01:35:18,452 --> 01:35:21,732 Speaker 4: a natural diamond in every aspect except it's a bit cheaper. 2063 01:35:21,732 --> 01:35:22,412 Speaker 4: What would you say to. 2064 01:35:22,372 --> 01:35:24,572 Speaker 1: That dimond, Okay. 2065 01:35:25,093 --> 01:35:29,852 Speaker 7: A natural diamond is a finite product, which is not 2066 01:35:30,173 --> 01:35:36,372 Speaker 7: a limited, endless supply, whereas a manufactured diamond someone can say, oh, 2067 01:35:36,452 --> 01:35:41,412 Speaker 7: let's produce ten thousands of detailer. You know, one carrot 2068 01:35:43,213 --> 01:35:48,013 Speaker 7: a diamond today. So therefore, if it's if it's not 2069 01:35:48,253 --> 01:35:53,093 Speaker 7: a limitless it's limitless product. Where is the value? So 2070 01:35:54,293 --> 01:35:57,772 Speaker 7: it's whereas the diamond holds its value is because they 2071 01:35:57,812 --> 01:36:01,852 Speaker 7: are pressures, they are rare, and every diamond is unique, 2072 01:36:02,213 --> 01:36:05,852 Speaker 7: where as a manufactured diamond is just as it would 2073 01:36:05,893 --> 01:36:07,652 Speaker 7: suggest they just manufacture them. 2074 01:36:08,213 --> 01:36:11,173 Speaker 2: Is that as an engagement ring though, an investment that 2075 01:36:11,253 --> 01:36:14,053 Speaker 2: holds its value? Or is the value in the engagement 2076 01:36:14,053 --> 01:36:18,933 Speaker 2: when the love? And therefore can't that be a like 2077 01:36:19,053 --> 01:36:20,892 Speaker 2: lab grown love? You know, like. 2078 01:36:22,333 --> 01:36:26,372 Speaker 7: I guess that that really is the perception of the 2079 01:36:26,412 --> 01:36:27,492 Speaker 7: person receiving it. 2080 01:36:29,452 --> 01:36:31,572 Speaker 4: So I don't know nothing says I love you like 2081 01:36:31,652 --> 01:36:35,532 Speaker 4: a scientist getting down and dirty and creating a beautiful diamond, 2082 01:36:36,013 --> 01:36:38,572 Speaker 4: which is bye by all aspects. It is exactly the 2083 01:36:38,612 --> 01:36:41,253 Speaker 4: same as one dug out of the ground. It's just 2084 01:36:41,412 --> 01:36:43,212 Speaker 4: as Diane says, you can make a few. 2085 01:36:43,013 --> 01:36:46,293 Speaker 2: More of them. Some people can tell some people can't tell. Yeah, 2086 01:36:46,333 --> 01:36:50,133 Speaker 2: but this sort of there's another question here. And you 2087 01:36:50,133 --> 01:36:52,693 Speaker 2: know when you went through the placeholder ring and someone's 2088 01:36:52,772 --> 01:36:54,213 Speaker 2: texted her here, and so when you said you'd go 2089 01:36:54,253 --> 01:36:56,412 Speaker 2: to a placehold ring, I thought you just cut a 2090 01:36:56,412 --> 01:36:58,372 Speaker 2: hole in a placeholder mat on a table and give 2091 01:36:58,412 --> 01:37:00,852 Speaker 2: it to placeholder ring. As you've spent about two hundred 2092 01:37:00,853 --> 01:37:02,732 Speaker 2: bucks and it looks like a ring. So you can 2093 01:37:02,772 --> 01:37:05,972 Speaker 2: get down on the knee, open the little wounding package 2094 01:37:06,013 --> 01:37:09,013 Speaker 2: and hand it over and she goes. You know, but 2095 01:37:09,812 --> 01:37:11,732 Speaker 2: that part of it is you're saying, is that you 2096 01:37:11,812 --> 01:37:14,932 Speaker 2: didn't know what she would like, so you didn't want 2097 01:37:14,973 --> 01:37:18,333 Speaker 2: to spend the money. But surely that doesn't matter. She 2098 01:37:18,372 --> 01:37:21,013 Speaker 2: should love whatever you give her because you gave it 2099 01:37:21,053 --> 01:37:23,652 Speaker 2: to her, even if it's a nice are So every 2100 01:37:23,692 --> 01:37:25,412 Speaker 2: time she looks down at some I don't know what 2101 01:37:25,452 --> 01:37:28,253 Speaker 2: would be some how you could mess it up. I 2102 01:37:28,293 --> 01:37:30,213 Speaker 2: don't know how you can mess up? Can you mess 2103 01:37:30,293 --> 01:37:33,333 Speaker 2: up a ring? Is the ugly engagement rings? Aren't they 2104 01:37:33,372 --> 01:37:34,812 Speaker 2: all kind of the same and just kind of diamond 2105 01:37:34,853 --> 01:37:36,093 Speaker 2: on them and some crap around them? 2106 01:37:36,173 --> 01:37:37,812 Speaker 4: Yeah, A nice rock and a bit of gold I 2107 01:37:37,853 --> 01:37:39,372 Speaker 4: think does the trick.

I think 2147 01:39:43,333 --> 01:39:46,013 Speaker 4: it's about fifty to fifty between The placeholder was the 2148 01:39:46,133 --> 01:39:48,053 Speaker 4: right move because then she gets to pick what she 2149 01:39:48,093 --> 01:39:51,253 Speaker 4: wants versus the other side of the equation that why 2150 01:39:51,293 --> 01:39:52,852 Speaker 4: didn't you just man up and get a proper ring 2151 01:39:52,893 --> 01:39:53,293 Speaker 4: the first time? 2152 01:39:53,372 --> 01:39:53,532 Speaker 13: Yeah? 2153 01:39:53,532 --> 01:39:55,652 Speaker 2: As I said, it's cowardly and weak.

Did you think in your ten years getting to 2157 01:40:02,452 --> 01:40:05,133 Speaker 2: know may you might have got some hints of what 2158 01:40:05,213 --> 01:40:08,173 Speaker 2: she liked. Then you could have done shopping and she 2159 01:40:08,372 --> 01:40:11,173 Speaker 2: would have thought, gosh, Tyler, you listen to me. So 2160 01:40:11,253 --> 01:40:14,612 Speaker 2: that's that's that's the point there. If you if you 2161 01:40:14,612 --> 01:40:18,253 Speaker 2: don't know what she likes, then have you been paying 2162 01:40:18,253 --> 01:40:19,492 Speaker 2: attention for the last ten years? 2163 01:40:19,492 --> 01:40:21,452 Speaker 4: But how do you do that without giving the game away? 2164 01:40:21,492 --> 01:40:24,252 Speaker 4: Because I thought about that? But how do you subtly 2165 01:40:24,652 --> 01:40:29,652 Speaker 4: drop hints on what is her style without it basically 2166 01:40:29,692 --> 01:40:32,293 Speaker 4: saying I'm about to propose because I wanted it to 2167 01:40:32,532 --> 01:40:34,452 Speaker 4: be a bit of a surprise, you know, ten years 2168 01:40:34,452 --> 01:40:34,932 Speaker 4: and waiting. 2169 01:40:35,372 --> 01:40:37,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, this is a question for you, Tyler. 2170 01:40:37,333 --> 01:40:37,972 Speaker 2: Are you perfect? 2171 01:40:38,532 --> 01:40:40,572 Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely? Are you well in what way? 2172 01:40:41,013 --> 01:40:45,772 Speaker 2: Well? Just you know, are you the perfect choice? What 2173 01:40:45,812 --> 01:40:50,293 Speaker 2: I'm saying is does the shouldn't the ring represent you? 2174 01:40:52,492 --> 01:40:54,572 Speaker 2: And see where you go with it anyway. Yeah, yeah, 2175 01:40:54,612 --> 01:40:56,692 Speaker 2: are you a fifty thousand dollars ring? That's what I'm saying, 2176 01:40:56,692 --> 01:40:59,412 Speaker 2: all right, Tyler, isn't the idea of marriage that she 2177 01:40:59,492 --> 01:41:02,253 Speaker 2: wears your ring, one that you chose and she loves 2178 01:41:02,293 --> 01:41:04,772 Speaker 2: it because you chose it. I wouldn't have thought it's 2179 01:41:04,812 --> 01:41:08,012 Speaker 2: her choice, that's her ring, not yours. 2180 01:41:08,093 --> 01:41:08,253 Speaker 6: Yet. 2181 01:41:08,492 --> 01:41:11,253 Speaker 2: See that's the thing. It's it's the ring that you 2182 01:41:11,372 --> 01:41:14,293 Speaker 2: choose for her, and it's and that's part of it. 2183 01:41:14,293 --> 01:41:16,293 Speaker 2: That's why I say your choice was cowardly and cheap, 2184 01:41:16,333 --> 01:41:22,492 Speaker 2: because because really, be honest, you didn't want to spend 2185 01:41:22,492 --> 01:41:25,532 Speaker 2: a lot of money on something that she might not like. Yeah, exactly, 2186 01:41:25,612 --> 01:41:26,372 Speaker 2: So that's cowardly. 2187 01:41:26,812 --> 01:41:28,892 Speaker 4: Well, but now I can spend a lot of money 2188 01:41:28,893 --> 01:41:31,732 Speaker 4: on something she's absolutely gone to love because she's lined 2189 01:41:31,812 --> 01:41:34,893 Speaker 4: up about seven different jewelers to go and have a consultation. 2190 01:41:35,013 --> 01:41:37,973 Speaker 2: But you haven't taken a risk then, and part of 2191 01:41:38,492 --> 01:41:41,092 Speaker 2: part of it is the risk of spending some money 2192 01:41:41,692 --> 01:41:43,492 Speaker 2: on what you believe she likes. 2193 01:41:43,973 --> 01:41:46,732 Speaker 4: But you know me well enough, mate. Imagine if if 2194 01:41:46,772 --> 01:41:50,053 Speaker 4: I dropped ten k on an engagement ring and then 2195 01:41:50,213 --> 01:41:52,333 Speaker 4: she didn't like it, and I knew she didn't like it. 2196 01:41:52,372 --> 01:41:55,133 Speaker 2: I'm surprised you dropped two hundred on the placement the 2197 01:41:55,173 --> 01:42:01,972 Speaker 2: placeholder ring. Michael, welcome to the show. Are you there, Michael, Michael? 2198 01:42:03,173 --> 01:42:03,772 Speaker 4: Are you Michael? 2199 01:42:04,452 --> 01:42:04,572 Speaker 5: Oh? 2200 01:42:04,973 --> 01:42:05,293 Speaker 1: Come he. 2201 01:42:07,093 --> 01:42:09,133 Speaker 2: Sorry, mate, I don't know how are you? 2202 01:42:09,452 --> 01:42:11,053 Speaker 3: Congratulations on the engagement. 2203 01:42:11,253 --> 01:42:11,972 Speaker 4: Thank you, Michael. 2204 01:42:12,692 --> 01:42:13,493 Speaker 3: It's nice. 2205 01:42:13,812 --> 01:42:13,972 Speaker 5: Hey. 2206 01:42:14,013 --> 01:42:16,812 Speaker 3: I just wanted to say, now I'm in a gay marriage, 2207 01:42:16,812 --> 01:42:19,652 Speaker 3: so I wanted a bit of gay representation. But I 2208 01:42:19,652 --> 01:42:22,333 Speaker 3: don't know about placeholder rings because it kind of it 2209 01:42:22,412 --> 01:42:24,213 Speaker 3: kind of made me assume that you hadn't had the 2210 01:42:24,333 --> 01:42:28,372 Speaker 3: talk about getting married anyway. A placeholder rings more for 2211 01:42:28,492 --> 01:42:31,812 Speaker 3: a surprise engagement. Should they not be like a joint 2212 01:42:31,853 --> 01:42:34,412 Speaker 3: discussion anyway about something so serious? 2213 01:42:35,013 --> 01:42:37,253 Speaker 2: Michael? Can I ask did you propose or were you 2214 01:42:37,293 --> 01:42:40,692 Speaker 2: proposed to or was it a proposal actually to give it? 2215 01:42:41,452 --> 01:42:44,492 Speaker 3: Yeah, I decided together we were sending good friends of 2216 01:42:44,492 --> 01:42:48,932 Speaker 3: ours their wedding, and during the day, couple of drinks, 2217 01:42:48,973 --> 01:42:52,412 Speaker 3: we just just decided, oh we could do this, let's 2218 01:42:52,412 --> 01:42:54,173 Speaker 3: get married, and we did so. 2219 01:42:54,452 --> 01:42:55,812 Speaker 2: But one of you must have been the first thing 2220 01:42:55,812 --> 01:42:58,333 Speaker 2: and said, because you know, you know, there's always and 2221 01:42:58,333 --> 01:43:00,532 Speaker 2: this happens a lot of marriages, right, you know, at weddings, 2222 01:43:00,772 --> 01:43:02,492 Speaker 2: people go, maybe we could get married. But someone has 2223 01:43:02,532 --> 01:43:06,013 Speaker 2: to go we could get married. Someone has to initiate 2224 01:43:06,053 --> 01:43:08,093 Speaker 2: the conversation, right, even if it's not a pure on 2225 01:43:08,133 --> 01:43:12,452 Speaker 2: the drop a knee engagement, someone someone turns the conversation 2226 01:43:12,572 --> 01:43:12,892 Speaker 2: that way. 2227 01:43:14,492 --> 01:43:17,093 Speaker 3: That's a fair point. Actually, Nah, I think it was 2228 01:43:17,133 --> 01:43:19,772 Speaker 3: probably my husband Luke who said, but there was no 2229 01:43:19,853 --> 01:43:22,093 Speaker 3: dropping on the knee. It was just a conversation. It 2230 01:43:22,173 --> 01:43:23,973 Speaker 3: was very kind of organic. 2231 01:43:24,532 --> 01:43:27,892 Speaker 2: Tell it's amazing, and maybe this is part of being 2232 01:43:27,893 --> 01:43:30,852 Speaker 2: a New Zealander. But so many of the texts I 2233 01:43:30,893 --> 01:43:32,372 Speaker 2: asked when I was esteemed. 2234 01:43:32,213 --> 01:43:34,812 Speaker 4: Or you need a lot of Dutch carriage. Appearently we 2235 01:43:35,013 --> 01:43:37,053 Speaker 4: had a few drinks. 2236 01:43:36,772 --> 01:43:39,172 Speaker 2: It seems to be a big part of the romance 2237 01:43:39,173 --> 01:43:39,852 Speaker 2: in this country. 2238 01:43:39,812 --> 01:43:42,333 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you were, you saying, Michael. But I never 2239 01:43:42,412 --> 01:43:45,093 Speaker 4: found a subtle way to drop that in because I 2240 01:43:45,732 --> 01:43:48,293 Speaker 4: dropped over the ten years. I dropped a few sort 2241 01:43:48,333 --> 01:43:51,012 Speaker 4: of questions in there and found the right time. For example, 2242 01:43:51,053 --> 01:43:54,133 Speaker 4: when another friend decided to propose, and then I'd say 2243 01:43:54,133 --> 01:43:56,972 Speaker 4: to Mave and say, hey, when I finally drop a knee, 2244 01:43:57,253 --> 01:43:59,772 Speaker 4: would you prefer that I give your father and mother 2245 01:43:59,812 --> 01:44:02,093 Speaker 4: are heads up? For example. But I never really found 2246 01:44:02,133 --> 01:44:04,612 Speaker 4: the right moment to say, hey, Mave, what are you 2247 01:44:04,612 --> 01:44:06,133 Speaker 4: looking for in a ring? What's your style? 2248 01:44:06,173 --> 01:44:06,612 Speaker 10: What do you want? 2249 01:44:06,652 --> 01:44:08,572 Speaker 4: You're want a massive diamond? Do you want gold? You 2250 01:44:08,572 --> 01:44:11,372 Speaker 4: wint white gold? You know I just never found that moment. 2251 01:44:11,372 --> 01:44:15,853 Speaker 2: There is ten years I'm with you. 2252 01:44:15,973 --> 01:44:17,692 Speaker 3: I've been shopping with her in ten years. 2253 01:44:19,492 --> 01:44:22,532 Speaker 2: Have you you never walked past like a store with 2254 01:44:22,572 --> 01:44:25,173 Speaker 2: some rings and gone, I quite like her this one 2255 01:44:25,173 --> 01:44:28,972 Speaker 2: and pointed, you know, I like I like that engagement 2256 01:44:29,053 --> 01:44:30,293 Speaker 2: ring and she goes, no, I don't. 2257 01:44:30,372 --> 01:44:32,293 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I've got a memory of a goldfish. Well 2258 01:44:32,333 --> 01:44:33,972 Speaker 4: I should have taken a photo of it. I hear 2259 01:44:33,973 --> 01:44:36,253 Speaker 4: what you're saying. But isn't it nice of Michael that 2260 01:44:36,692 --> 01:44:39,773 Speaker 4: now she gets to go and meet all these jewelers. 2261 01:44:39,933 --> 01:44:43,452 Speaker 4: We can have a wed chat, formalize that design, and 2262 01:44:43,492 --> 01:44:45,692 Speaker 4: then she'll be so stoked with that ring. That is 2263 01:44:46,412 --> 01:44:48,133 Speaker 4: what she genuinely loves. 2264 01:44:48,532 --> 01:44:50,972 Speaker 3: Yes, I do love that idea. I think it's wrong 2265 01:44:51,412 --> 01:44:56,492 Speaker 3: for for for somebody to choose their ring for their partner. 2266 01:44:56,853 --> 01:45:00,452 Speaker 3: They should they should be involved because it's very personal 2267 01:45:00,532 --> 01:45:02,572 Speaker 3: to them as well, Like, yes, it's nice to think 2268 01:45:02,772 --> 01:45:05,013 Speaker 3: you got her this ring. She might look at it 2269 01:45:05,053 --> 01:45:07,093 Speaker 3: every day and think this is beautiful. This is what 2270 01:45:07,213 --> 01:45:09,293 Speaker 3: he got me. Yeah, some people might be like that, 2271 01:45:09,372 --> 01:45:11,213 Speaker 3: but I think most women I know, they want to 2272 01:45:11,213 --> 01:45:12,372 Speaker 3: be involved in the conversation. 2273 01:45:12,412 --> 01:45:13,372 Speaker 1: Here's the ring. 2274 01:45:13,333 --> 01:45:15,932 Speaker 2: Here's the ring. Tyler got me, warts and all, and 2275 01:45:16,013 --> 01:45:19,372 Speaker 2: I've chosen and I've taken him as my husband. Warts 2276 01:45:19,412 --> 01:45:22,213 Speaker 2: and all. You know, there's beauty. There's a beauty in 2277 01:45:22,253 --> 01:45:24,372 Speaker 2: the fuggly nature of the ring, you know what I'm saying. 2278 01:45:24,772 --> 01:45:29,733 Speaker 3: Yes, And there's also beauty in simplicity, Like I don't think. 2279 01:45:29,973 --> 01:45:31,772 Speaker 3: I think it's a bit of a red flag when 2280 01:45:32,772 --> 01:45:35,812 Speaker 3: when somebody needs to spend thirty thousand dollars to show 2281 01:45:35,893 --> 01:45:37,812 Speaker 3: people what kind of ring they have, I think that's 2282 01:45:37,853 --> 01:45:39,013 Speaker 3: a bit of a red flag for me. 2283 01:45:39,213 --> 01:45:40,333 Speaker 4: I agree, I agree. 2284 01:45:40,412 --> 01:45:41,612 Speaker 2: Thank you for your call, Michael. 2285 01:45:41,772 --> 01:45:44,133 Speaker 4: Can I just say why I think I nailed the 2286 01:45:44,133 --> 01:45:46,973 Speaker 4: placeholder ring is that I actually spent a bit of 2287 01:45:47,013 --> 01:45:50,412 Speaker 4: time trying to find it a beautiful placeholder ring. So 2288 01:45:50,452 --> 01:45:52,732 Speaker 4: I actually did some research on design and what it 2289 01:45:52,732 --> 01:45:55,972 Speaker 4: should look like, even for the placeholder ring. And then 2290 01:45:55,973 --> 01:45:57,652 Speaker 4: when I dropped the knee and put it on her finger, 2291 01:45:57,692 --> 01:45:59,772 Speaker 4: and she loved it, no doubt about it. She she 2292 01:45:59,853 --> 01:46:01,492 Speaker 4: loved it. And there were tears and all sorts of 2293 01:46:01,572 --> 01:46:04,213 Speaker 4: good stuff there. But a little bit later on she 2294 01:46:04,253 --> 01:46:07,973 Speaker 4: did say it's not quite my style, right, It's not 2295 01:46:08,772 --> 01:46:10,892 Speaker 4: what I'd go for myself. So at that point I'm like, 2296 01:46:11,013 --> 01:46:13,013 Speaker 4: yes for this, because then I would have gone I 2297 01:46:13,013 --> 01:46:14,852 Speaker 4: would have done the same thing for the real deal. 2298 01:46:14,933 --> 01:46:17,293 Speaker 2: Okay, here's a question then, So if someone gets you 2299 01:46:17,333 --> 01:46:20,013 Speaker 2: a ring and they've spent the requisite what is it 2300 01:46:20,053 --> 01:46:22,892 Speaker 2: twenty percent of your wage on it or whatever? Twenty percent? Yeah, 2301 01:46:22,933 --> 01:46:25,732 Speaker 2: something like that. Okay, I know if someone knows the 2302 01:46:25,812 --> 01:46:28,652 Speaker 2: not there's a number, right, you're supposed to spend. Yeah, 2303 01:46:28,692 --> 01:46:30,933 Speaker 2: and you get given the ring, it's put on you, 2304 01:46:31,013 --> 01:46:33,932 Speaker 2: and you go that as a freaking iceore?

We can talk 2370 01:49:52,812 --> 01:49:55,612 Speaker 2: about this for months. But how do you know the 2371 01:49:55,612 --> 01:49:59,932 Speaker 2: size of your partner's finger, even for the placeholder ring? 2372 01:50:00,333 --> 01:50:02,093 Speaker 2: Because you can't like sneak up under him and sleep 2373 01:50:02,133 --> 01:50:04,133 Speaker 2: with a measuring tape and measure their ring, can you? 2374 01:50:04,412 --> 01:50:04,892 Speaker 2: Bigger part? 2375 01:50:05,372 --> 01:50:07,253 Speaker 14: Yeah, well that's what I say. Mine had to get 2376 01:50:07,293 --> 01:50:09,612 Speaker 14: resized because I I think he put it on his 2377 01:50:09,692 --> 01:50:12,492 Speaker 14: biggest finger and said that'll be great, and naturally it 2378 01:50:12,572 --> 01:50:13,772 Speaker 14: was too big for my hand. 2379 01:50:13,973 --> 01:50:18,372 Speaker 4: Yeah. I actually may have never take She's got a 2380 01:50:18,372 --> 01:50:20,852 Speaker 4: couple of rings on her fingers, generational rings that mean 2381 01:50:20,893 --> 01:50:23,133 Speaker 4: a lot to her and she hardly ever takes them off. 2382 01:50:23,133 --> 01:50:25,333 Speaker 4: But the one time and she left it in the bed. 2383 01:50:25,372 --> 01:50:26,772 Speaker 4: I think it was a bit of a message. Actually, 2384 01:50:26,812 --> 01:50:29,732 Speaker 4: But I downloaded an app so you could check the size, 2385 01:50:29,772 --> 01:50:32,133 Speaker 4: and I thought I nailed it, but even then I 2386 01:50:32,173 --> 01:50:34,612 Speaker 4: still went a little bit too small, so we've got 2387 01:50:34,612 --> 01:50:35,372 Speaker 4: to get it resized. 2388 01:50:36,772 --> 01:50:38,572 Speaker 14: Yeah. Nice, No, I think it's a nice thing to 2389 01:50:38,612 --> 01:50:41,452 Speaker 14: hold on to, and you know, like depending on the 2390 01:50:41,492 --> 01:50:44,772 Speaker 14: proposal and everything, it's a special special thing for you 2391 01:50:44,812 --> 01:50:46,412 Speaker 14: to share, regardless of what it costs. 2392 01:50:46,572 --> 01:50:48,732 Speaker 2: Now Dale, seeing as you love the placeholder ring and 2393 01:50:48,732 --> 01:50:50,412 Speaker 2: then you you know, wanted to get it resized so 2394 01:50:50,412 --> 01:50:52,293 Speaker 2: you can wear. In another hand, it seems to me 2395 01:50:52,492 --> 01:50:54,692 Speaker 2: that you would have loved whatever he gave you, so 2396 01:50:54,772 --> 01:50:56,412 Speaker 2: he couldn't have got it wrong. If just if he 2397 01:50:56,452 --> 01:50:58,973 Speaker 2: had gone and chosen the ring that he thought that 2398 01:50:59,053 --> 01:51:02,492 Speaker 2: you would would have liked, it seems to me that 2399 01:51:02,612 --> 01:51:04,612 Speaker 2: he would have probably got it right just because you 2400 01:51:04,652 --> 01:51:06,372 Speaker 2: would have loved it, because it's what he gave you. 2401 01:51:09,053 --> 01:51:12,213 Speaker 14: A little bit.
