Yeah, that's right 82 00:03:36,933 --> 00:03:39,733 Speaker 2: because where we got here, we got a the founder 83 00:03:39,973 --> 00:03:45,133 Speaker 2: of Here we Go, Here we Go, Steven Sinclair, talking 84 00:03:45,173 --> 00:03:47,853 Speaker 2: about twenty years of tattoos in New Zealand at two 85 00:03:47,893 --> 00:03:52,653 Speaker 2: Hands Tattoo. How have tattoo stigmas changed in New Zealand 86 00:03:52,693 --> 00:03:57,133 Speaker 2: twenty years ago two thousand and five. A lot of 87 00:03:57,133 --> 00:04:00,613 Speaker 2: tattoos around then, but there's so many tattoos around there 88 00:04:00,973 --> 00:04:03,133 Speaker 2: around I think New Zealand might be the most tattooed 89 00:04:03,173 --> 00:04:03,893 Speaker 2: country in the world. 90 00:04:03,973 --> 00:04:07,213 Speaker 3: Well, that was one of his claims. The Stefan Spider 91 00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:09,933 Speaker 3: is his nickname. Hell of a nickname for a tattoo artist. 92 00:04:10,293 --> 00:04:12,533 Speaker 3: But sleeves were a big one. It wasn't too long 93 00:04:12,573 --> 00:04:15,293 Speaker 3: ago that the full tattoo sleeve on your arm would 94 00:04:15,333 --> 00:04:19,933 Speaker 3: be considered quite taboo. That was, you know, a little 95 00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:22,773 Speaker 3: bit risque and would challenge a lot of people. If 96 00:04:22,773 --> 00:04:25,293 Speaker 3: someone saw the full sleeve tattoo, they think gang member, 97 00:04:25,773 --> 00:04:27,493 Speaker 3: which is just not the case anymore. Quite trendy. 98 00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:29,093 Speaker 2: Now, well, I've got a mate who's a very successful 99 00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:31,333 Speaker 2: lawyer that's just had a full sleeve done. 100 00:04:31,493 --> 00:04:32,573 Speaker 3: Wow, that is interesting. 101 00:04:32,893 --> 00:04:36,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it's the tab Well could be 102 00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,453 Speaker 2: wrong because I was asking you before, as mytylo was saying, 103 00:04:38,453 --> 00:04:39,493 Speaker 2: would you get a nick tattoo? 104 00:04:39,773 --> 00:04:39,973 Speaker 4: Nah? 105 00:04:40,133 --> 00:04:44,333 Speaker 2: And you said nahah. But would you not hire someone 106 00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:45,933 Speaker 2: if they had a nicktatto? Why do you think you 107 00:04:45,973 --> 00:04:48,853 Speaker 2: shouldn't get a nick tato? Because you know, I think 108 00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:51,573 Speaker 2: even twenty years ago or ten years ago, I think 109 00:04:51,813 --> 00:04:54,573 Speaker 2: seeing a neck tato was quite you know, it was 110 00:04:55,093 --> 00:05:00,293 Speaker 2: it was rare, but now they're everywhere. People have every 111 00:05:00,373 --> 00:05:01,333 Speaker 2: part of themselves tattoo. 112 00:05:01,453 --> 00:05:03,773 Speaker 3: That's a great question, actually, because even now, if I 113 00:05:03,853 --> 00:05:05,933 Speaker 3: saw someone with a nick tattoo down the street, my 114 00:05:06,053 --> 00:05:08,053 Speaker 3: barber has a nick tattoo, and I love my barbies 115 00:05:08,053 --> 00:05:09,973 Speaker 3: a good But if I saw someone down the street 116 00:05:10,013 --> 00:05:11,773 Speaker 3: with a neck tattoo, part of me would be thinking, 117 00:05:12,773 --> 00:05:15,973 Speaker 3: is that a lovable rogue or is that a game member? 118 00:05:17,573 --> 00:05:19,413 Speaker 3: But that's going to be the chat after three o'clock. 119 00:05:19,453 --> 00:05:22,293 Speaker 3: After two o'clock, when to call time on a toxic 120 00:05:22,533 --> 00:05:26,453 Speaker 3: sibling relationship? Great story in the Herald about times where 121 00:05:27,133 --> 00:05:30,773 Speaker 3: grudges or arguments or maybe something a little bit further 122 00:05:30,853 --> 00:05:35,133 Speaker 3: than that wrecked the relationship between siblings, and it certainly 123 00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:37,933 Speaker 3: is if you've got a sibling, certainly something that can 124 00:05:38,413 --> 00:05:41,853 Speaker 3: come to the four on occasion in families. I know 125 00:05:42,653 --> 00:05:44,413 Speaker 3: with my older brother we had a bit of a 126 00:05:44,453 --> 00:05:49,573 Speaker 3: falling out over what was something really minor, but we 127 00:05:49,653 --> 00:05:51,533 Speaker 3: didn't chat for about three months until we came to 128 00:05:51,613 --> 00:05:53,573 Speaker 3: the conclusion that it wasn't that big of a deal 129 00:05:53,653 --> 00:05:55,253 Speaker 3: and what the hell are we doing. We're adults here. 130 00:05:55,493 --> 00:05:57,413 Speaker 3: But it is a big thing, right, Sibling rivalry? 131 00:05:57,613 --> 00:05:59,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just can't see what my sisters could do 132 00:05:59,813 --> 00:06:01,253 Speaker 2: to me that would make me hate them and not 133 00:06:01,293 --> 00:06:03,333 Speaker 2: want to talk to them anymore, to cut them off 134 00:06:03,413 --> 00:06:05,693 Speaker 2: like this woman has. Because the reasons why she's talking 135 00:06:05,693 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 2: about cutting her sister off a minor was a bit selfish, 136 00:06:10,093 --> 00:06:12,493 Speaker 2: backstabbed her a little bit. I think my sisters could 137 00:06:12,533 --> 00:06:14,693 Speaker 2: backstam me a lot. They probably have. I don't care. 138 00:06:14,733 --> 00:06:17,173 Speaker 2: I still love them. Yeah, I think you've got to 139 00:06:17,173 --> 00:06:19,413 Speaker 2: be You've got to stick with family pretty much, no 140 00:06:19,533 --> 00:06:23,773 Speaker 2: matter what I mean outside. You know, you know, violence 141 00:06:23,813 --> 00:06:27,253 Speaker 2: and crime. Yeah, but even crime, I reckon if one 142 00:06:27,293 --> 00:06:30,613 Speaker 2: of my sisters robbed a bank, I'd probably still go 143 00:06:30,653 --> 00:06:31,453 Speaker 2: and visit the moncharism. 144 00:06:31,613 --> 00:06:33,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you've always got a well I think. Yeah, 145 00:06:33,653 --> 00:06:35,173 Speaker 3: for the most part. You've got to back your family, 146 00:06:35,573 --> 00:06:37,933 Speaker 3: unless that it is something really extreme, as you say, 147 00:06:38,053 --> 00:06:40,293 Speaker 3: But if you've had a falling out with your sibling, 148 00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:43,253 Speaker 3: love to hear from you after two o'clock, because right 149 00:06:43,333 --> 00:06:45,293 Speaker 3: now we won't to have a chat about the state 150 00:06:45,333 --> 00:06:46,773 Speaker 3: of the world right now. This is on the back 151 00:06:46,813 --> 00:06:48,213 Speaker 3: of the doomsday clock. 152 00:06:49,053 --> 00:06:51,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. The doomsday clock, which symbolizes how close 153 00:06:51,773 --> 00:06:55,133 Speaker 2: humanity is to destruction, ticked one second closer to midnight 154 00:06:55,573 --> 00:07:00,093 Speaker 2: on Tuesday, over concerns about nuclear war, climate, and public health. 155 00:07:00,693 --> 00:07:02,733 Speaker 2: And this is put together by the bulletin of the 156 00:07:02,813 --> 00:07:05,173 Speaker 2: Atomic Scientists, which set the clock up at the start 157 00:07:05,213 --> 00:07:07,453 Speaker 2: of the Cold War. So they've shifted the clock to 158 00:07:07,573 --> 00:07:10,373 Speaker 2: eighty nine seconds to midnight, and they've sort of hoisted 159 00:07:10,413 --> 00:07:12,933 Speaker 2: themselves on their own potad if that's probably not the 160 00:07:13,013 --> 00:07:15,413 Speaker 2: right saying for it, but they can't take as big 161 00:07:15,453 --> 00:07:17,893 Speaker 2: as jumps because they've been chicken lickening for a very 162 00:07:17,973 --> 00:07:20,453 Speaker 2: long time. So now they're having to take it by 163 00:07:20,573 --> 00:07:24,973 Speaker 2: seconds when they first started the doomsday clock. So I 164 00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:27,413 Speaker 2: think this is a really good time to live. And 165 00:07:27,493 --> 00:07:29,253 Speaker 2: I was thinking about this other day, and I'd love 166 00:07:29,293 --> 00:07:31,093 Speaker 2: to hear people's thoughts on this one hundred and eighty 167 00:07:31,173 --> 00:07:33,813 Speaker 2: ten eighty, whether they think the world's about to end, 168 00:07:34,453 --> 00:07:36,413 Speaker 2: what the big dangers are for us, and how they 169 00:07:36,453 --> 00:07:39,253 Speaker 2: feel about the current era we live in, because I 170 00:07:39,413 --> 00:07:41,133 Speaker 2: was thinking the other day, I'm glad my kids are 171 00:07:41,133 --> 00:07:42,893 Speaker 2: growing up in this area. This seems like a very 172 00:07:42,973 --> 00:07:45,813 Speaker 2: good error to grow up in. You know, Starvation isn't 173 00:07:45,813 --> 00:07:48,093 Speaker 2: a problem like it was for most of the history 174 00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:51,013 Speaker 2: of humanity, you know, like a famine could just hit 175 00:07:51,053 --> 00:07:54,653 Speaker 2: at any time. Up until very very recently, I think, 176 00:07:55,253 --> 00:07:58,373 Speaker 2: you know, the in fact, the opposite is the problem. 177 00:07:58,653 --> 00:08:01,173 Speaker 2: You know, we have a much bigger problem than we 178 00:08:01,253 --> 00:08:03,533 Speaker 2: have with obesity as opposed to people not being able 179 00:08:03,573 --> 00:08:05,893 Speaker 2: to get food. I think that's a huge thing. I 180 00:08:05,973 --> 00:08:07,973 Speaker 2: think people have a lot of opportunities now that they 181 00:08:08,053 --> 00:08:11,813 Speaker 2: did in terms of travel, in terms of technology at 182 00:08:11,853 --> 00:08:14,853 Speaker 2: their fingertips. I think there's I think there's a great 183 00:08:14,893 --> 00:08:16,093 Speaker 2: time for kids to be alive. 184 00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:16,533 Speaker 6: Yeah. 185 00:08:16,813 --> 00:08:20,533 Speaker 2: So, but am I just being a Am I too positive? 186 00:08:21,053 --> 00:08:24,413 Speaker 2: Is it really eighty nine seconds to midnight oclongs of 187 00:08:24,413 --> 00:08:25,133 Speaker 2: the doomsday clock? 188 00:08:25,453 --> 00:08:27,733 Speaker 3: I'd actually be with you. I mean there not too 189 00:08:27,813 --> 00:08:31,453 Speaker 3: long ago that I would have accepted or felt that 190 00:08:31,573 --> 00:08:34,132 Speaker 3: we were in a precarious position as a planet. But 191 00:08:34,293 --> 00:08:36,732 Speaker 3: that's I think because I was been bombarded on all 192 00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,933 Speaker 3: sides by various news and information about this is going 193 00:08:39,973 --> 00:08:45,453 Speaker 3: to happen, and and you know, various aspects of geopolitical craziness, 194 00:08:45,612 --> 00:08:47,693 Speaker 3: is going to mean that sooner or later someone's going 195 00:08:47,773 --> 00:08:49,532 Speaker 3: to press the nuke button. But I don't feel that 196 00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:52,973 Speaker 3: way anymore. I being told that for the last thirty 197 00:08:53,053 --> 00:08:55,693 Speaker 3: years of my life, well since I started reading news. 198 00:08:55,732 --> 00:08:56,293 Speaker 3: I've been told that. 199 00:08:56,372 --> 00:08:58,453 Speaker 2: When I was growing up in the eighties, is a 200 00:08:58,533 --> 00:09:02,213 Speaker 2: little kid, I was terrified of nuclear war. That's what 201 00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:04,533 Speaker 2: we hear about all the time, when the wind blows. 202 00:09:04,573 --> 00:09:07,412 Speaker 2: This book that was read to me terrifying by Missus 203 00:09:07,453 --> 00:09:11,932 Speaker 2: O'Leary at Marty Hill Primary School, terrifying, and there was 204 00:09:12,093 --> 00:09:16,412 Speaker 2: threads it was and the day after tomorrow I think 205 00:09:16,413 --> 00:09:18,132 Speaker 2: the name of these two movies that played on TV 206 00:09:18,492 --> 00:09:21,612 Speaker 2: about nuclear war. There was the Cold War was going on. 207 00:09:21,813 --> 00:09:27,093 Speaker 2: Reagan and was arguing with the Russians. It was a 208 00:09:27,173 --> 00:09:30,813 Speaker 2: terrifying time. Never happened. Yeah, so I'm less scared now 209 00:09:30,892 --> 00:09:33,853 Speaker 2: than I was when I was a kid in the eighties. 210 00:09:33,892 --> 00:09:35,173 Speaker 3: At the end of the world, yeah, oh e one 211 00:09:35,252 --> 00:09:38,533 Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is an amical nine two nine two. 212 00:09:38,653 --> 00:09:41,492 Speaker 3: Is there something that we've always as humans? We kind 213 00:09:41,533 --> 00:09:44,252 Speaker 3: of need to have problems, right, And the joke is 214 00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:46,892 Speaker 3: its first will problems, But the reality is we do 215 00:09:47,173 --> 00:09:49,252 Speaker 3: need things to try and solve. If we don't have 216 00:09:49,333 --> 00:09:52,053 Speaker 3: any problems, we're kind of not really happy with our life. 217 00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:54,292 Speaker 3: And I know that sounds weird, but that to me 218 00:09:54,492 --> 00:09:56,733 Speaker 3: is just that it's just a situation. You think. 219 00:09:58,773 --> 00:10:03,532 Speaker 2: Talking about existential crisises to the world makes people happy 220 00:10:03,573 --> 00:10:03,892 Speaker 2: in a way. 221 00:10:03,973 --> 00:10:05,973 Speaker 3: I think it's a human need. It's a human need 222 00:10:06,093 --> 00:10:09,532 Speaker 3: to try and find challenges and problem to solve, even 223 00:10:09,612 --> 00:10:12,292 Speaker 3: when life has never been better than it is today. 224 00:10:12,453 --> 00:10:14,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, well has it been? 225 00:10:14,372 --> 00:10:14,492 Speaker 7: Was it? 226 00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:14,732 Speaker 6: Though? 227 00:10:15,252 --> 00:10:16,813 Speaker 2: Maybe peop don't think it is our eight hundred and 228 00:10:16,813 --> 00:10:19,093 Speaker 2: eighteen eighty Is this a good time to be alive? 229 00:10:19,372 --> 00:10:22,612 Speaker 2: Or are we about to all die in a fiery apocalypse? 230 00:10:22,653 --> 00:10:24,652 Speaker 3: Eighty nine seconds away?

The Dum's day clock people are saying it is 242 00:10:52,012 --> 00:10:55,492 Speaker 2: the end? Really nigh?

Craig. 247 00:11:04,413 --> 00:11:06,333 Speaker 3: You reckon it's not such a great world at the moment. 248 00:11:08,413 --> 00:11:10,732 Speaker 8: No, I don't make it. And I heard what Matt said, 249 00:11:10,773 --> 00:11:13,652 Speaker 8: and maybe it is great for Matt's children, and I'd 250 00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:17,013 Speaker 8: like to think it was to my grand children being 251 00:11:17,093 --> 00:11:19,412 Speaker 8: brought up at the moment. But you know, if the 252 00:11:19,492 --> 00:11:21,813 Speaker 8: world was so great now, why do we have record 253 00:11:21,933 --> 00:11:26,693 Speaker 8: your suicide? Why do we have record children without fathers? 254 00:11:27,333 --> 00:11:30,372 Speaker 8: You know, when I was growing up, you know, I 255 00:11:30,492 --> 00:11:32,573 Speaker 8: was born in late sixties, and that kind of thing 256 00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:37,013 Speaker 8: very rarely did you hear of a fellow pupil at 257 00:11:37,093 --> 00:11:39,532 Speaker 8: the school. Well, I didn't hear of one. It took 258 00:11:39,653 --> 00:11:43,132 Speaker 8: us life. But I'd say every school possibly. 259 00:11:44,333 --> 00:11:44,813 Speaker 4: He is of it. 260 00:11:44,973 --> 00:11:50,892 Speaker 8: Now Quite often I think the world, who's shite for 261 00:11:51,012 --> 00:11:53,893 Speaker 8: our children? And it's our fault. We've created this world, 262 00:11:54,372 --> 00:11:58,573 Speaker 8: but it's you. I think it's a very dangerous world 263 00:11:58,653 --> 00:11:59,012 Speaker 8: for them. 264 00:11:59,612 --> 00:12:02,453 Speaker 2: I think it's always been a dangerous world, and I 265 00:12:02,533 --> 00:12:06,813 Speaker 2: think there's always been hardships and tragedy. But what era 266 00:12:06,973 --> 00:12:09,292 Speaker 2: do you think was good? Good? Well, it was the 267 00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:10,773 Speaker 2: best time to bring up kids. 268 00:12:12,892 --> 00:12:15,492 Speaker 8: Look, well, you're going to go by now, and what 269 00:12:15,773 --> 00:12:19,532 Speaker 8: you know, and I know my childhood basically through the 270 00:12:19,653 --> 00:12:24,492 Speaker 8: seventeenth we were free. We could, you know, we're on 271 00:12:24,573 --> 00:12:26,813 Speaker 8: our bikes from one called out at night for dinner. 272 00:12:26,892 --> 00:12:30,413 Speaker 8: We were we weren't having to be pleased and monitored, 273 00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:33,653 Speaker 8: and we weren't taught the troubles of the world. If 274 00:12:33,693 --> 00:12:36,372 Speaker 8: you mentioned you were scared of nuclear war, and we 275 00:12:36,533 --> 00:12:38,852 Speaker 8: all had that, that's what was on the news. 276 00:12:38,693 --> 00:12:39,532 Speaker 5: At six o'clock. 277 00:12:40,213 --> 00:12:42,852 Speaker 8: But I don't recall it being thrown down the throat 278 00:12:42,892 --> 00:12:47,612 Speaker 8: at primary school and that kind of thing. Whereas children 279 00:12:47,732 --> 00:12:50,333 Speaker 8: today you have been taught all the problems of the world, 280 00:12:50,492 --> 00:12:54,133 Speaker 8: the world's doomed, and you've been taught it from down 281 00:12:54,213 --> 00:12:58,853 Speaker 8: their daycare. They don't have a lot of hope. Yeah, 282 00:12:59,093 --> 00:13:00,693 Speaker 8: take it hope away from our jud. 283 00:13:01,093 --> 00:13:04,292 Speaker 2: You say that interesting thing about you know, depression and 284 00:13:04,413 --> 00:13:08,132 Speaker 2: young people now. And as I said before, one of 285 00:13:08,173 --> 00:13:10,492 Speaker 2: the things that I think is quite incredible that this 286 00:13:10,612 --> 00:13:12,973 Speaker 2: time is the amount of you know, the digital technology 287 00:13:13,012 --> 00:13:16,252 Speaker 2: at the kids' fingertips. And as I was saying that, 288 00:13:16,413 --> 00:13:18,292 Speaker 2: I was thinking under it that is actually one of 289 00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:21,932 Speaker 2: the one of the worst parts for kids because we know, 290 00:13:22,053 --> 00:13:24,573 Speaker 2: you know, all the studies around being on Instagram, being 291 00:13:24,653 --> 00:13:26,892 Speaker 2: on TikTok. What it does to kids in terms of 292 00:13:27,093 --> 00:13:31,453 Speaker 2: their mental health, it's it's absolutely terrible. And you know, 293 00:13:31,852 --> 00:13:35,412 Speaker 2: people used to have a really clear purpose in life, 294 00:13:35,612 --> 00:13:39,292 Speaker 2: and maybe that's something that's missing now, where it was 295 00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:41,573 Speaker 2: pretty simple what you had to do. You had to 296 00:13:41,653 --> 00:13:44,932 Speaker 2: have a job, and you brought up a family, and 297 00:13:44,973 --> 00:13:46,492 Speaker 2: you had sort of quite a simple path that you 298 00:13:46,533 --> 00:13:49,093 Speaker 2: went on, whereas now kids look at all the stuff, 299 00:13:49,213 --> 00:13:51,333 Speaker 2: they think that they need to be superstars, they need 300 00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:54,012 Speaker 2: to be famous, They feel like failures, no about what 301 00:13:54,053 --> 00:13:56,412 Speaker 2: do they do, and then they just drift back and 302 00:13:56,492 --> 00:13:58,893 Speaker 2: they're looking in Instagram seeing everyone else in a fake 303 00:13:58,933 --> 00:13:59,893 Speaker 2: private jet or whatever. 304 00:14:00,132 --> 00:14:04,933 Speaker 8: I think the big thing as well is we were 305 00:14:05,012 --> 00:14:08,652 Speaker 8: allowed to be kids. Yeah, I don't think they are 306 00:14:08,653 --> 00:14:12,252 Speaker 8: actually allowed to be kids. And that's the cuts of 307 00:14:12,293 --> 00:14:14,573 Speaker 8: the problem. You know, we're all born the safe. I 308 00:14:14,653 --> 00:14:17,813 Speaker 8: don't deny mental health, but there's a shitload of it 309 00:14:17,933 --> 00:14:22,093 Speaker 8: now than when I was a child. You know, we 310 00:14:22,613 --> 00:14:25,973 Speaker 8: didn't see that. I just think that we've taken trolls 311 00:14:26,013 --> 00:14:28,653 Speaker 8: on away from our children, and that's half the problem. 312 00:14:29,013 --> 00:14:31,893 Speaker 2: Do you think that maybe there was a certain amount 313 00:14:31,893 --> 00:14:34,853 Speaker 2: of mental health that was problems that were around that 314 00:14:35,133 --> 00:14:37,613 Speaker 2: they weren't just talked about that. People just sort of 315 00:14:37,693 --> 00:14:41,532 Speaker 2: brooded on them quietly to and whereas now people have 316 00:14:41,653 --> 00:14:42,573 Speaker 2: the words to talk about it. 317 00:14:44,653 --> 00:14:47,493 Speaker 8: I do, But I think that also created a bit 318 00:14:47,533 --> 00:14:50,493 Speaker 8: of resilience as well. I mean, we don't seem to 319 00:14:50,613 --> 00:14:53,893 Speaker 8: have the the resilience we used to have, you know, 320 00:14:54,173 --> 00:14:57,893 Speaker 8: and there seems to be a syndrome or something for 321 00:14:58,053 --> 00:15:00,333 Speaker 8: everything now no matter what you feel, there will be 322 00:15:00,413 --> 00:15:02,253 Speaker 8: a medical. 323 00:15:02,053 --> 00:15:02,613 Speaker 6: Term for it. 324 00:15:03,253 --> 00:15:05,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry, Crat. 325 00:15:05,853 --> 00:15:08,173 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm not a psychologist, but I'm not as 326 00:15:08,813 --> 00:15:12,412 Speaker 8: but I just think that there's too much influence, possibly 327 00:15:12,493 --> 00:15:17,013 Speaker 8: on mental health. It's not to be hidden, but there's 328 00:15:17,933 --> 00:15:19,573 Speaker 8: what It's tough. It's meant to be tough. That's why 329 00:15:19,613 --> 00:15:20,533 Speaker 8: you're enjoyed a good time. 330 00:15:20,893 --> 00:15:23,093 Speaker 3: And does that come does that come back to Craig? 331 00:15:23,533 --> 00:15:28,493 Speaker 3: Children being bombarded with with information that is at times 332 00:15:28,573 --> 00:15:31,133 Speaker 3: pretty complex. You know, children, by their nature, there's a 333 00:15:31,173 --> 00:15:33,773 Speaker 3: lovely naivety about that and an ideology that they can, 334 00:15:34,213 --> 00:15:36,773 Speaker 3: you know, come into this world and make these differences 335 00:15:36,813 --> 00:15:38,413 Speaker 3: and then as you get older, you get a little 336 00:15:38,453 --> 00:15:42,573 Speaker 3: bit wiser. But children aren't protected by that anymore. You know, 337 00:15:42,813 --> 00:15:45,933 Speaker 3: very young children are exposed to some very complex ideas 338 00:15:45,973 --> 00:15:48,813 Speaker 3: and what on the surface a very terrifying ideas. 339 00:15:50,893 --> 00:15:52,813 Speaker 8: Yeah, I've got a little example on that in the 340 00:15:52,893 --> 00:15:55,932 Speaker 8: sense that my sisters told me your story. When she 341 00:15:56,253 --> 00:15:58,013 Speaker 8: had a four or five year old he was at 342 00:15:58,053 --> 00:16:00,493 Speaker 8: the time, it's done, went to her and asked where 343 00:16:00,973 --> 00:16:04,773 Speaker 8: where the babies come from? And Jesus responded to where 344 00:16:04,773 --> 00:16:08,013 Speaker 8: do you think they come from? And he gave some answer, 345 00:16:08,093 --> 00:16:11,013 Speaker 8: and just say that's fine. You didn't have to get 346 00:16:11,093 --> 00:16:14,932 Speaker 8: into it. You didn't have to dwell into it, you know. 347 00:16:15,893 --> 00:16:18,733 Speaker 8: I just think kids might ask questions. But for some reason, 348 00:16:18,773 --> 00:16:21,172 Speaker 8: whether it happens at school or at home. Now, I 349 00:16:21,253 --> 00:16:23,253 Speaker 8: think we're a bit too bloom and honest and we 350 00:16:23,413 --> 00:16:27,133 Speaker 8: just burdened them with all this stuff that they don't. 351 00:16:27,013 --> 00:16:27,412 Speaker 9: Need to know. 352 00:16:28,533 --> 00:16:30,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there is something in that. I was 353 00:16:30,533 --> 00:16:32,333 Speaker 2: talking to a friend that I grew up with in 354 00:16:32,933 --> 00:16:35,853 Speaker 2: Dunedin and we were talking about the idea of anxiety 355 00:16:36,213 --> 00:16:38,172 Speaker 2: and we were between it. We didn't really say we 356 00:16:38,253 --> 00:16:40,693 Speaker 2: were anxious, but you knew that some days you didn't 357 00:16:41,173 --> 00:16:42,932 Speaker 2: that you were scared to go to school, or you 358 00:16:43,013 --> 00:16:44,853 Speaker 2: felt there was a social occasion you didn't want to 359 00:16:44,893 --> 00:16:47,292 Speaker 2: where there was some sport that was coming up that 360 00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:50,693 Speaker 2: you were a little bit worried about. But we kind 361 00:16:50,733 --> 00:16:53,373 Speaker 2: of just had to do it. But we didn't call 362 00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:55,292 Speaker 2: it anxiety, but that's clearly what it was. 363 00:16:56,373 --> 00:16:57,373 Speaker 3: And I think now. 364 00:16:59,453 --> 00:17:03,973 Speaker 8: You go, Craig, Yes, no, I absolutely agree with you. 365 00:17:04,093 --> 00:17:08,052 Speaker 8: And I felt that often growing up. But you weren't 366 00:17:08,453 --> 00:17:13,333 Speaker 8: label was a condition, it was just how you felt. 367 00:17:13,773 --> 00:17:16,773 Speaker 8: And because you weren't label would you manage to board 368 00:17:16,773 --> 00:17:20,213 Speaker 8: a bit of a resilience instead of having something to 369 00:17:20,333 --> 00:17:22,813 Speaker 8: blame how you feel so you could lot yourself away. 370 00:17:23,933 --> 00:17:26,773 Speaker 2: I think this is just a personal story. But when 371 00:17:26,813 --> 00:17:29,253 Speaker 2: I first met a girl, a girl that I wanted 372 00:17:29,253 --> 00:17:31,213 Speaker 2: to go out on a date with, right, I had 373 00:17:31,293 --> 00:17:36,693 Speaker 2: to ring up her, you know, her parents, and she 374 00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:39,613 Speaker 2: she was a Catholic girl, and she had like eight 375 00:17:39,693 --> 00:17:42,813 Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, and there was one phone in their house. 376 00:17:43,173 --> 00:17:45,613 Speaker 2: So I had to go down and ring up Jenny 377 00:17:45,733 --> 00:17:49,373 Speaker 2: was her name, and ring up and say hey, I'm 378 00:17:49,413 --> 00:17:51,853 Speaker 2: giving a whole name here. Actually I was going to say, hey, 379 00:17:52,173 --> 00:17:55,853 Speaker 2: mister Smith, is Jennifer there, please? And that was the 380 00:17:55,893 --> 00:17:57,693 Speaker 2: most terrifying thing I had to do. But I felt 381 00:17:57,693 --> 00:17:59,213 Speaker 2: like it was so important because I really wanted to 382 00:17:59,253 --> 00:18:01,013 Speaker 2: go on a date. I really wanted to to go 383 00:18:01,053 --> 00:18:03,453 Speaker 2: to the movies with me, so I had to ring 384 00:18:03,573 --> 00:18:08,373 Speaker 2: her terrified anxiety. But doing that created some resilience and 385 00:18:08,413 --> 00:18:10,093 Speaker 2: you could feel some pride that you pulled it off, 386 00:18:10,093 --> 00:18:12,213 Speaker 2: and you can learn something as opposed to now with 387 00:18:12,373 --> 00:18:15,453 Speaker 2: the you know, with the situation people have now with 388 00:18:15,573 --> 00:18:20,533 Speaker 2: social media and with text messaging. Even you don't you 389 00:18:20,613 --> 00:18:22,493 Speaker 2: can sort of hide away from that. You can hide 390 00:18:22,533 --> 00:18:24,173 Speaker 2: in your room and you don't have to. But if 391 00:18:24,173 --> 00:18:25,413 Speaker 2: I'd done that, I never would have got to go 392 00:18:25,493 --> 00:18:27,133 Speaker 2: on this date. So I had to do this really, 393 00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:30,653 Speaker 2: really hard thing. And I wonder if that was helpful 394 00:18:30,733 --> 00:18:32,453 Speaker 2: for mental health in a way that I had to 395 00:18:32,533 --> 00:18:33,773 Speaker 2: do that. If I wanted to go on a date, 396 00:18:33,813 --> 00:18:35,413 Speaker 2: I just had to do the most terrifying thing. 397 00:18:37,573 --> 00:18:41,413 Speaker 8: Absolutely, you learned lessons, you learned. The mister Smith didn't 398 00:18:41,573 --> 00:18:41,813 Speaker 8: like you. 399 00:18:43,853 --> 00:18:45,893 Speaker 2: Well, I think I think a couple of her brothers 400 00:18:45,933 --> 00:18:46,653 Speaker 2: didn't seem to like me. 401 00:18:46,933 --> 00:18:47,893 Speaker 3: Did you get a second date? 402 00:18:48,173 --> 00:18:48,292 Speaker 5: Oh? 403 00:18:48,453 --> 00:18:51,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, we dated from when we were fourteen to twenty 404 00:18:51,733 --> 00:18:54,733 Speaker 2: one or something. But going to dinner around at that 405 00:18:54,853 --> 00:18:58,293 Speaker 2: house with all those other kids, that many brothers, jeez, 406 00:18:58,333 --> 00:18:58,973 Speaker 2: that was terrifying. 407 00:19:00,173 --> 00:19:02,253 Speaker 3: Greig, thank you very much for giving us a buzz mate. 408 00:19:03,493 --> 00:19:06,053 Speaker 3: All right, have a good afternoon.

They are not breaking any commercial financial 422 00:19:43,253 --> 00:19:47,133 Speaker 9: statutory law. What they are doing is offending the luxury 423 00:19:47,213 --> 00:19:51,453 Speaker 9: beliefs of these directors and executives, spouting about climate change 424 00:19:51,493 --> 00:19:53,812 Speaker 9: whilst driving regional New Zealand to penury. 425 00:19:53,853 --> 00:19:55,333 Speaker 4: I've got every right to take them. 426 00:19:55,253 --> 00:19:56,773 Speaker 2: Off back tomorrow at six. 427 00:19:56,693 --> 00:20:00,053 Speaker 10: Am, the mic asking Breakfast with Baby's Real Estate News 428 00:20:00,173 --> 00:20:00,973 Speaker 10: Talk ZEDB. 429 00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,853 Speaker 3: After Noon, Glenn, do you think the world is more 430 00:20:03,973 --> 00:20:05,013 Speaker 3: dangerous than it's ever been. 431 00:20:06,773 --> 00:20:10,653 Speaker 12: No, I sunk a fu you know, back to our forefathers. 432 00:20:11,613 --> 00:20:14,333 Speaker 12: Different things may be worried us, but I think things 433 00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:17,293 Speaker 12: are much the same and always will be. And I 434 00:20:17,413 --> 00:20:20,253 Speaker 12: think it's Confucius. I'm not sure I might have the 435 00:20:20,253 --> 00:20:23,173 Speaker 12: wrong person, but I think it was Confucius who said 436 00:20:23,173 --> 00:20:26,053 Speaker 12: that you know, your children look to you as to 437 00:20:26,173 --> 00:20:29,333 Speaker 12: how you reacted to things. For instance, if their child 438 00:20:29,773 --> 00:20:34,053 Speaker 12: falls over and they skin their legs their knees, they'll 439 00:20:34,093 --> 00:20:36,853 Speaker 12: look to you. And if you start laughing, they're more 440 00:20:36,973 --> 00:20:39,093 Speaker 12: like letters sort of think, oh, well, that wasn't so bad. 441 00:20:39,613 --> 00:20:43,133 Speaker 12: But if you say, oh, darling, and they'll start to cry. 442 00:20:43,573 --> 00:20:46,333 Speaker 12: And I remember, I just think we've become a little 443 00:20:46,373 --> 00:20:49,653 Speaker 12: bit too protective. And believe me, I'm a big softy. 444 00:20:49,773 --> 00:20:52,013 Speaker 12: I'm not hard at all. But I just think it's 445 00:20:52,093 --> 00:20:57,373 Speaker 12: not preparing children for life the way we react to things. Now, 446 00:20:58,373 --> 00:21:01,973 Speaker 12: a while ago, there was an earthquake and it was 447 00:21:02,053 --> 00:21:06,653 Speaker 12: pretty near one of the local primary schools, and apparently 448 00:21:06,773 --> 00:21:10,213 Speaker 12: they sent two counselors to this primary school. It's sort 449 00:21:10,253 --> 00:21:14,773 Speaker 12: of country school, and for these primary school children who 450 00:21:14,853 --> 00:21:20,693 Speaker 12: were aged five to nine. Now, when I went to school. 451 00:21:20,813 --> 00:21:23,453 Speaker 12: I remember there was an earthquake. I know it's many 452 00:21:23,533 --> 00:21:26,253 Speaker 12: years ago, but there was an earthquake and we all 453 00:21:26,373 --> 00:21:29,293 Speaker 12: just thought this, you know, things moving around was quite fun. 454 00:21:29,453 --> 00:21:31,413 Speaker 12: I mean, we were taught what to do, but we 455 00:21:31,573 --> 00:21:34,453 Speaker 12: certainly weren't told lock down. And it's all right to 456 00:21:34,533 --> 00:21:38,293 Speaker 12: feel afraid. You know, this is normal. This is scary stuff. 457 00:21:38,813 --> 00:21:38,973 Speaker 9: You know. 458 00:21:39,213 --> 00:21:44,853 Speaker 12: Children are resilient. And another incident was at intermediate school 459 00:21:45,373 --> 00:21:49,093 Speaker 12: when I mean tragic, but one of the students who 460 00:21:49,173 --> 00:21:51,173 Speaker 12: biked home in his lunch I was hit by a 461 00:21:51,253 --> 00:21:54,333 Speaker 12: train and killed. And we had a meeting and assembly 462 00:21:54,373 --> 00:21:57,733 Speaker 12: at lunch time and we were told about this, and 463 00:21:57,893 --> 00:22:02,812 Speaker 12: yes it was tragic, but children of that age they 464 00:22:02,893 --> 00:22:06,893 Speaker 12: react differently unless they're told that it's a dreadful dreadfulness. 465 00:22:07,053 --> 00:22:10,333 Speaker 12: We just went out and can you playing in the playground. 466 00:22:11,053 --> 00:22:14,053 Speaker 12: I'm not undermining the fact the child died at all, 467 00:22:14,253 --> 00:22:19,333 Speaker 12: but I just think we, you know, let them be children, 468 00:22:19,813 --> 00:22:25,533 Speaker 12: and don't it all seems so dire. I just think, yeah, 469 00:22:26,093 --> 00:22:28,613 Speaker 12: I really do think children learn from I think this 470 00:22:28,813 --> 00:22:32,573 Speaker 12: counseling stuff has got out of hand. I truly do. 471 00:22:33,253 --> 00:22:37,613 Speaker 12: It's part of growing up and your brain are just 472 00:22:37,853 --> 00:22:41,453 Speaker 12: as you develop and maturity to deal with things in 473 00:22:41,493 --> 00:22:46,213 Speaker 12: an appropriate way. But children shouldn't have to be talking 474 00:22:46,293 --> 00:22:49,133 Speaker 12: to counselors. That's my opinion anyway. 475 00:22:49,653 --> 00:22:53,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting one with it. If you're if you're 476 00:22:53,133 --> 00:22:55,333 Speaker 2: a very if you're a parent that worries a lot 477 00:22:55,493 --> 00:22:57,413 Speaker 2: and is anxious about a lot of stuff, you are 478 00:22:58,013 --> 00:23:00,013 Speaker 2: likely to hand hand that over to your kids. 479 00:23:00,133 --> 00:23:02,293 Speaker 12: You will, and children will pick it up. 480 00:23:02,413 --> 00:23:04,853 Speaker 2: I don't remember my parents ever seem to worry about anything, 481 00:23:04,893 --> 00:23:07,693 Speaker 2: but I'm sure in other rooms they were worrying about me, 482 00:23:08,173 --> 00:23:10,413 Speaker 2: you know, but they never seemed to really hand there 483 00:23:10,733 --> 00:23:14,093 Speaker 2: onto me the worry that they had. 484 00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:16,733 Speaker 3: But yeah, did you ever sit down and watch the 485 00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:17,773 Speaker 3: news with your parents? 486 00:23:17,933 --> 00:23:19,733 Speaker 2: I used to always watch the news with my parents, and. 487 00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:21,573 Speaker 3: There was no comments there about the state of the world. 488 00:23:21,653 --> 00:23:22,893 Speaker 3: I just, you know, I'm looking back now. 489 00:23:23,653 --> 00:23:27,173 Speaker 2: I remember one where a jet was shot down. I 490 00:23:27,213 --> 00:23:29,733 Speaker 2: can't remember the exact news stories in the eighties, and 491 00:23:31,453 --> 00:23:33,813 Speaker 2: it was some kind of altercation between the Americans. And 492 00:23:33,973 --> 00:23:35,453 Speaker 2: I turned to my dad and I said, does that 493 00:23:35,533 --> 00:23:37,173 Speaker 2: mean there's going to be a nuclear war? And he goes, 494 00:23:38,253 --> 00:23:38,813 Speaker 2: I don't think so. 495 00:23:39,733 --> 00:23:40,453 Speaker 3: That's reassuring. 496 00:23:40,493 --> 00:23:45,013 Speaker 2: That was reasonably reassuring, But to be honest, I was 497 00:23:45,133 --> 00:23:48,293 Speaker 2: terrified of nuclear war right through my childhood because we 498 00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:48,773 Speaker 2: heard about it. 499 00:23:48,813 --> 00:23:50,533 Speaker 12: Okay, when you see how much different age group was 500 00:23:50,773 --> 00:23:54,493 Speaker 12: together that I'm actually in my seventies and so my 501 00:23:54,693 --> 00:23:58,253 Speaker 12: dad was a prisoner of war from the Second World War. 502 00:23:58,493 --> 00:23:58,693 Speaker 5: Wow. 503 00:23:59,173 --> 00:24:03,133 Speaker 12: And I think because of my dad's resilience, he had 504 00:24:03,173 --> 00:24:06,133 Speaker 12: a pretty tough time. But I think he taught me 505 00:24:06,653 --> 00:24:09,773 Speaker 12: one of the things that Funny enough, my mother said 506 00:24:09,813 --> 00:24:12,533 Speaker 12: to me when I said, how did dad survive what 507 00:24:12,653 --> 00:24:15,093 Speaker 12: they had to go through? And he's still you know, 508 00:24:15,173 --> 00:24:17,253 Speaker 12: he's got a sense of humor and he's son to 509 00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:21,053 Speaker 12: be with, And she said, because he didn't project forward. 510 00:24:21,173 --> 00:24:24,893 Speaker 12: He didn't use the imagination to think, you know, all 511 00:24:24,973 --> 00:24:26,973 Speaker 12: this could have happened, or that could happen. He just 512 00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:30,733 Speaker 12: got through each day. And I think that's a very 513 00:24:30,813 --> 00:24:34,493 Speaker 12: good lesson. You know, you could drive yourself crazy thinking 514 00:24:34,573 --> 00:24:37,613 Speaker 12: about the world today and the possibilities. 515 00:24:37,253 --> 00:24:39,373 Speaker 2: And they may not come true.

And look, 567 00:27:24,973 --> 00:27:26,693 Speaker 2: but we're not talking about them, because you know, they've 568 00:27:26,733 --> 00:27:31,293 Speaker 2: got their very political organization and they're making statements in 569 00:27:31,333 --> 00:27:33,653 Speaker 2: whatever way. But it just sort of raises the question, 570 00:27:34,173 --> 00:27:37,293 Speaker 2: is this a terrifying time to live? Are we as 571 00:27:37,373 --> 00:27:40,053 Speaker 2: the N nine or as I feel it's actually quite 572 00:27:40,053 --> 00:27:40,853 Speaker 2: a good time to be alive. 573 00:27:40,973 --> 00:27:42,573 Speaker 3: Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the 574 00:27:42,733 --> 00:27:45,973 Speaker 3: number to call. Get a bob, Hi, guys. 575 00:27:47,133 --> 00:27:54,173 Speaker 14: Yeah. My thoughts are that I'm almost eighty two years old, 576 00:27:54,933 --> 00:27:59,453 Speaker 14: and I've seen an awful lot of all this talk 577 00:27:59,573 --> 00:28:02,653 Speaker 14: and talk and talk and talk about what's going to happen. 578 00:28:03,173 --> 00:28:07,733 Speaker 14: Nobody knows what's going to happen. I spent most of 579 00:28:07,813 --> 00:28:14,013 Speaker 14: my life traveling around the world. I developed drilling tools 580 00:28:14,053 --> 00:28:17,173 Speaker 14: for the oil and gas drilling industry, and it was 581 00:28:17,293 --> 00:28:20,133 Speaker 14: up to me to market them and do live business. 582 00:28:21,053 --> 00:28:27,853 Speaker 14: And everybody's expecting everything to be wonderful. When the fun 583 00:28:28,013 --> 00:28:32,093 Speaker 14: comes up in the morning, that is the first day 584 00:28:32,533 --> 00:28:36,293 Speaker 14: of the rest of your life.

Did you always feel that way? 587 00:28:43,293 --> 00:28:45,613 Speaker 3: You mentioned you're eighty two. I take it you know 588 00:28:45,693 --> 00:28:48,813 Speaker 3: you had to go through a good chunk of your life, 589 00:28:48,933 --> 00:28:51,053 Speaker 3: probably pretty anxious about the state of the world before 590 00:28:51,093 --> 00:28:52,333 Speaker 3: you came to that philosophy. 591 00:28:54,213 --> 00:28:56,853 Speaker 14: Never felt anxious, so I was always full of ambition. 592 00:28:58,693 --> 00:29:01,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there was a thing about that in 593 00:29:01,653 --> 00:29:04,333 Speaker 2: terms of just taking a moment, because you can lie 594 00:29:04,373 --> 00:29:07,773 Speaker 2: around worrying about everything, and people sometimes confuse worry with 595 00:29:07,853 --> 00:29:10,333 Speaker 2: actually doing something, because if you're worrying and you can 596 00:29:10,373 --> 00:29:15,253 Speaker 2: imagine every possible terrible scenario, but that isn't actually doing anything. 597 00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:18,253 Speaker 2: That's just spinning your mental wheels on a spot. 598 00:29:19,773 --> 00:29:21,773 Speaker 14: Think about that you're not going to be able to 599 00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:22,293 Speaker 14: change it. 600 00:29:22,733 --> 00:29:25,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you definitely shouldn't worry about things 601 00:29:25,373 --> 00:29:27,853 Speaker 2: you can't change. If you're spending any time about something 602 00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:31,053 Speaker 2: that you aren't going to be able to influence. Then 603 00:29:31,173 --> 00:29:33,333 Speaker 2: then that is that is wasted time, isn't it. You know, 604 00:29:33,373 --> 00:29:36,653 Speaker 2: it's the serenity prayer, isn't it? 605 00:29:37,933 --> 00:29:44,133 Speaker 3: What you can't do anything, Give me the courage to 606 00:29:44,293 --> 00:29:47,733 Speaker 3: accept the things I cannot change. Something along those lines. 607 00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:50,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, God, grant me the serenity to accept the things 608 00:29:50,773 --> 00:29:52,893 Speaker 2: I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, 609 00:29:52,973 --> 00:29:54,173 Speaker 2: and the wisdom to know the difference. 610 00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:56,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good line. But like you know, the 611 00:29:56,213 --> 00:29:58,733 Speaker 3: war in Ukraine for example, and when that first started, 612 00:29:58,773 --> 00:30:00,693 Speaker 3: I got a little bit anxious about what's going to happen, 613 00:30:00,933 --> 00:30:03,853 Speaker 3: But then very i think hopefully very quickly realized there 614 00:30:03,933 --> 00:30:06,453 Speaker 3: is nothing I can do about that. There is absolutely 615 00:30:07,013 --> 00:30:10,733 Speaker 3: I'm not going to change the political landscape of the world. 616 00:30:10,973 --> 00:30:13,253 Speaker 3: So you've just got to get that out of your head. 617 00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,853 Speaker 3: That years it might not be a good situation. And 618 00:30:15,933 --> 00:30:17,613 Speaker 3: you feel for some of the people in Ukraine and 619 00:30:17,693 --> 00:30:20,053 Speaker 3: that situation, but you cannot do anything about it. 620 00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:25,373 Speaker 14: Well, think about like the kids in in Gaza. You 621 00:30:25,493 --> 00:30:31,253 Speaker 14: think the kids are suffering, ye, or. 622 00:30:31,453 --> 00:30:34,933 Speaker 2: You know, any time in the past, you know, like 623 00:30:35,053 --> 00:30:37,573 Speaker 2: people look back and say, you know, what was it? 624 00:30:37,693 --> 00:30:39,933 Speaker 2: You know, some dream time in the nineteen fifties depends 625 00:30:39,973 --> 00:30:41,573 Speaker 2: where you are, really and there were there were a 626 00:30:41,613 --> 00:30:43,573 Speaker 2: lot of problems there, a lot of things you had 627 00:30:44,173 --> 00:30:46,213 Speaker 2: to face back then. And of course people always bring 628 00:30:46,333 --> 00:30:48,933 Speaker 2: up five point thirty six, which is widely considered the 629 00:30:48,973 --> 00:30:52,893 Speaker 2: worst year in all human history, where in a slandic 630 00:30:53,013 --> 00:30:56,613 Speaker 2: volcano covered most of Europe and Asia and darkness for 631 00:30:56,653 --> 00:30:58,653 Speaker 2: a year and all the crops failed. And that was 632 00:30:58,733 --> 00:31:01,493 Speaker 2: after three hundred years since the Roman emperor had gone down. 633 00:31:01,773 --> 00:31:03,493 Speaker 2: Empire had gone down about two hundred year, so there's 634 00:31:03,493 --> 00:31:06,453 Speaker 2: anarchy right through that area as well. Then your crops fail, 635 00:31:06,773 --> 00:31:08,933 Speaker 2: and then on the back of that, because of the 636 00:31:09,013 --> 00:31:11,013 Speaker 2: disease caused by that, the black plague comes in. 637 00:31:11,173 --> 00:31:13,533 Speaker 3: Well, they are some real problems. They are real problems. 638 00:31:13,693 --> 00:31:16,453 Speaker 2: I'd rather have now than then, much rather be around 639 00:31:16,533 --> 00:31:17,933 Speaker 2: now than five point thirty six. 640 00:31:18,333 --> 00:31:21,053 Speaker 3: We've got timu how good.

We don't think that 666 00:32:29,973 --> 00:32:34,293 Speaker 15: today because they're erasing those motorcycles that we're all driving, 667 00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:40,893 Speaker 15: Toyotas and even those cars they are getting made in China. Now, China, 668 00:32:41,773 --> 00:32:47,213 Speaker 15: China is a very very major concern now because what's 669 00:32:47,293 --> 00:32:49,133 Speaker 15: coming out of Australia. 670 00:32:48,813 --> 00:32:52,893 Speaker 6: Is coal, iron ore and it's all going to China. 671 00:32:53,013 --> 00:32:58,373 Speaker 15: And China is just making production of everything because they 672 00:32:58,533 --> 00:33:02,613 Speaker 15: are just burning coal and making electricity to build what 673 00:33:02,693 --> 00:33:05,613 Speaker 15: they want. They have just put in the water. 674 00:33:05,853 --> 00:33:07,533 Speaker 6: They have just put it in the water. 675 00:33:08,053 --> 00:33:14,853 Speaker 15: The fourth aircraft carrier. They have developed a new fighter aircraft. 676 00:33:15,573 --> 00:33:19,813 Speaker 15: And when that fourth aircraft carrier came out of the drydock, 677 00:33:20,173 --> 00:33:25,173 Speaker 15: they started building their fifth one. Now Donald Trump knows 678 00:33:25,253 --> 00:33:28,653 Speaker 15: all this because in America, if you're a CEO and 679 00:33:28,733 --> 00:33:30,813 Speaker 15: you want to keep on hanging on to you hundreds 680 00:33:30,813 --> 00:33:33,893 Speaker 15: of thousands, and they don't do that in China, then. 681 00:33:33,813 --> 00:33:35,733 Speaker 6: You take all your business. 682 00:33:36,093 --> 00:33:38,973 Speaker 15: You take all your business to China because I'll make 683 00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:44,373 Speaker 15: what you need, and that CEO he'll keep hold of 684 00:33:44,453 --> 00:33:50,013 Speaker 15: his salary. I mean, mate, it's and that's why I say. 685 00:33:50,533 --> 00:33:54,293 Speaker 15: And even Donald Trump, he's worried about China. He's worried 686 00:33:54,293 --> 00:33:58,093 Speaker 15: about trying a big time because they have got the 687 00:33:58,173 --> 00:34:03,813 Speaker 15: biggest military in the world. They've got more aircraft and 688 00:34:04,573 --> 00:34:11,133 Speaker 15: strategic fighting, so then they can really be in the battle. 689 00:34:11,413 --> 00:34:14,053 Speaker 15: And the thing is that everybody wants to have a 690 00:34:14,133 --> 00:34:17,413 Speaker 15: look when you go and buy anything made in China, 691 00:34:17,693 --> 00:34:22,373 Speaker 15: made in China, a belt or anything, and it might say, 692 00:34:22,573 --> 00:34:25,373 Speaker 15: you know, this is what it is, but you'll find 693 00:34:26,293 --> 00:34:30,053 Speaker 15: that there's a little tag down the bottom, made in China. 694 00:34:30,653 --> 00:34:34,573 Speaker 2: So, Peter, do you are you worried about China economically primarily? 695 00:34:34,613 --> 00:34:37,693 Speaker 2: And of course New Zealand incredibly dependent on China because 696 00:34:37,773 --> 00:34:41,573 Speaker 2: they're our biggest trading partner. But are you also worried 697 00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:44,773 Speaker 2: about China and New Zealand militarily? 698 00:34:48,213 --> 00:34:50,493 Speaker 6: Well, look put it this way. Put it this way. 699 00:34:51,773 --> 00:34:57,733 Speaker 15: China has got submarines, They have got heaps of military stuff. 700 00:34:58,493 --> 00:35:01,613 Speaker 6: If they submerged in the middle of Auckland. 701 00:35:01,373 --> 00:35:06,213 Speaker 15: And they sent down and they have already said they 702 00:35:06,293 --> 00:35:09,053 Speaker 15: want Thailand back, They've. 703 00:35:08,933 --> 00:35:09,653 Speaker 6: Already said that. 704 00:35:10,293 --> 00:35:14,013 Speaker 15: And I mean it's like Australia, like Albow has turned around. 705 00:35:14,173 --> 00:35:17,973 Speaker 15: He said, we'll give you guys over here in Indonesia, 706 00:35:18,133 --> 00:35:22,213 Speaker 15: will give you six hundred million dollars to set up 707 00:35:22,733 --> 00:35:26,773 Speaker 15: an NRL team over here. Well, that's political. It's got 708 00:35:27,013 --> 00:35:30,733 Speaker 15: nothing to do. It has got nothing at all to 709 00:35:30,893 --> 00:35:34,533 Speaker 15: do because Australian government's worried about it. They know we 710 00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:37,773 Speaker 15: have any New Zealand. If you think in New Zealand, 711 00:35:38,333 --> 00:35:41,773 Speaker 15: if you think in New Zealand. But China turns up 712 00:35:41,853 --> 00:35:45,253 Speaker 15: on the shore of New Zealand, you think that America 713 00:35:45,333 --> 00:35:46,853 Speaker 15: is going to come over and help you. 714 00:35:47,373 --> 00:35:50,653 Speaker 3: No, they're not, Peter. You're calling from Queensland and you 715 00:35:50,813 --> 00:35:54,613 Speaker 3: think a part of your huge concern over China and 716 00:35:54,653 --> 00:35:56,053 Speaker 3: we've got to think about that and be part of 717 00:35:56,093 --> 00:35:58,453 Speaker 3: the discussion, no doubt about that. But the fact that 718 00:35:58,573 --> 00:36:01,453 Speaker 3: you are in Australia and the information you get from 719 00:36:01,733 --> 00:36:06,133 Speaker 3: your media and the government heightens your fear in terms 720 00:36:06,133 --> 00:36:10,013 Speaker 3: of what the real situation is because clearly Australia has 721 00:36:10,053 --> 00:36:12,613 Speaker 3: had its add its barneys, small barneys with China in 722 00:36:12,653 --> 00:36:13,573 Speaker 3: the last couple of years. 723 00:36:15,053 --> 00:36:15,973 Speaker 6: We'll put it this way. 724 00:36:16,213 --> 00:36:21,133 Speaker 15: You know, Australia's got nothing to put on the table, 725 00:36:21,253 --> 00:36:27,013 Speaker 15: but China has because it's like they've gone away and it's. 726 00:36:26,933 --> 00:36:28,732 Speaker 6: Like, you know, have you ever heard of that old 727 00:36:28,893 --> 00:36:33,293 Speaker 6: saying that the horse has bolted? And I mean everybody 728 00:36:33,493 --> 00:36:33,973 Speaker 6: you know, I mean. 729 00:36:33,893 --> 00:36:37,692 Speaker 15: They're the largest, they're the largest in the world now 730 00:36:37,933 --> 00:36:39,533 Speaker 15: of car manufacturers. 731 00:36:41,613 --> 00:36:43,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're saying that just before Peter. But do 732 00:36:43,973 --> 00:36:46,293 Speaker 2: you think so We've got this text here that's come 733 00:36:46,333 --> 00:36:48,973 Speaker 2: through Peter on nineteen nine two. Worry is a misuse 734 00:36:49,013 --> 00:36:52,133 Speaker 2: of the imagination. So on a philosophical level, so you're 735 00:36:52,213 --> 00:36:55,693 Speaker 2: quite worried about about China, is there anything that you 736 00:36:55,933 --> 00:36:59,413 Speaker 2: can personally do about that? Or is that outside your 737 00:36:59,653 --> 00:37:02,653 Speaker 2: remit Because there's an argument that if we if we 738 00:37:02,933 --> 00:37:06,692 Speaker 2: don't have so much time on this planet, so if 739 00:37:06,773 --> 00:37:10,253 Speaker 2: we can't change the outcome of something personally, then we're 740 00:37:10,413 --> 00:37:13,732 Speaker 2: kind of spinning our wheels and making our life less 741 00:37:14,013 --> 00:37:17,853 Speaker 2: enjoyable and less fruitful by worrying about things outside our control. 742 00:37:17,893 --> 00:37:21,093 Speaker 15: If you know what I mean, Well, if you keep 743 00:37:21,133 --> 00:37:24,333 Speaker 15: on kicking the guts out of China, they're going to 744 00:37:24,373 --> 00:37:27,773 Speaker 15: get pissed off and they're not going to play around 745 00:37:27,973 --> 00:37:31,693 Speaker 15: because they have got like I said here there before, 746 00:37:31,853 --> 00:37:35,133 Speaker 15: if they turn up on the doorstep there of New Zealand, 747 00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:37,292 Speaker 15: what's New Zealand got the fight? 748 00:37:37,533 --> 00:37:40,893 Speaker 2: But Peter is what can you do about it? Personally? 749 00:37:41,053 --> 00:37:44,933 Speaker 2: So I think there's two things. Is worry an action, right, 750 00:37:45,133 --> 00:37:47,692 Speaker 2: So if you can influence the outcome of what you're 751 00:37:47,693 --> 00:37:50,053 Speaker 2: worried about, then that's one thing. But if you can't, 752 00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:54,253 Speaker 2: if you spending your time worrying about something that you 753 00:37:54,453 --> 00:37:57,573 Speaker 2: have no influence over it, all, that can make for 754 00:37:57,973 --> 00:38:02,853 Speaker 2: a pretty a pretty uncomfortable. Well, the Buddhist will say, 755 00:38:02,853 --> 00:38:03,653 Speaker 2: a life of suffering. 756 00:38:05,133 --> 00:38:07,533 Speaker 6: We'll put it this way, right, put it this way. 757 00:38:07,733 --> 00:38:12,093 Speaker 15: China is bringing out right a bike that is a 758 00:38:12,173 --> 00:38:16,573 Speaker 15: six seven five triple. Now it's a copy of the Triumph, right. Okay, 759 00:38:17,373 --> 00:38:21,173 Speaker 15: Everything that China has bought out so far has been brilliant. 760 00:38:21,653 --> 00:38:25,613 Speaker 15: I do that motorcycles, I get rings, I get pistons, 761 00:38:25,773 --> 00:38:30,933 Speaker 15: I get bearings, I get everything out of China, and 762 00:38:31,133 --> 00:38:34,933 Speaker 15: it is we're buggarall compared to if I go down 763 00:38:34,973 --> 00:38:38,853 Speaker 15: the road to Karlasaki or Yamaha, and everything that they've 764 00:38:38,933 --> 00:38:43,173 Speaker 15: seen me fits and it's brilliant. There's nothing wrong with it. 765 00:38:43,253 --> 00:38:46,173 Speaker 15: And a lot of those places are like Karlosaki, Yamaha, 766 00:38:46,773 --> 00:38:49,652 Speaker 15: and all of them are all getting China to make 767 00:38:49,733 --> 00:38:51,773 Speaker 15: their stuff now because. 768 00:38:51,533 --> 00:38:55,013 Speaker 2: We're we're thank you, Peter. I think I think we 769 00:38:55,093 --> 00:38:57,172 Speaker 2: get that. I think we get that point there that yeah, 770 00:38:57,293 --> 00:38:58,973 Speaker 2: China is a very I mean, thank you so much 771 00:38:59,013 --> 00:39:02,172 Speaker 2: for your call. We've got to move forward, But yeah, 772 00:39:02,213 --> 00:39:06,413 Speaker 2: we get it. With China's obviously the manufacturing is going 773 00:39:06,453 --> 00:39:08,013 Speaker 2: at a great rate. But I guess I was trying 774 00:39:08,013 --> 00:39:10,973 Speaker 2: to make this more philosophical point that unless You're going 775 00:39:11,013 --> 00:39:12,413 Speaker 2: to do something about it because. 776 00:39:12,533 --> 00:39:15,053 Speaker 3: Peter's very worried about China. We can hear that Peter 777 00:39:15,173 --> 00:39:18,053 Speaker 3: absolutely worried about China. But I think to your point Matters, 778 00:39:18,373 --> 00:39:21,333 Speaker 3: can Peter change that maybe maybe not, probably to the 779 00:39:21,413 --> 00:39:23,853 Speaker 3: maybe not. And if that's the case, Peter, it's going 780 00:39:23,933 --> 00:39:25,533 Speaker 3: to be all right, mate, you know, just live your life. 781 00:39:25,613 --> 00:39:26,933 Speaker 3: You're suffering a bit there, mate. 782 00:39:26,853 --> 00:39:29,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're going a bit philosophical here. 783 00:39:30,653 --> 00:39:33,173 Speaker 3: News Talks b OH eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 784 00:39:33,173 --> 00:39:36,373 Speaker 3: the number to call Begary shortly.

I think that you're misunderstanding what I'm saying here. 793 00:40:02,853 --> 00:40:05,413 Speaker 2: What I'm trying to say here is that worry about 794 00:40:05,533 --> 00:40:08,053 Speaker 2: what you can actually influence. So the Glipoli troops, even 795 00:40:08,053 --> 00:40:09,652 Speaker 2: though I'm may not have helped them. Could worry about 796 00:40:09,653 --> 00:40:12,133 Speaker 2: their gear, they could worry about their training, They could 797 00:40:12,173 --> 00:40:14,933 Speaker 2: think about what was ahead of them, rather than probably 798 00:40:14,973 --> 00:40:18,093 Speaker 2: sitting worrying about the wider global or any of the 799 00:40:18,133 --> 00:40:20,373 Speaker 2: other things they quorry about.

Do 806 00:40:35,533 --> 00:40:36,133 Speaker 2: something about it. 807 00:40:36,253 --> 00:40:38,853 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a message, good message.

Yeah, And what I was 827 00:41:39,613 --> 00:41:42,573 Speaker 2: trying to say is that worrying is just a spinning 828 00:41:42,733 --> 00:41:44,733 Speaker 2: of the mental wheels. It's not doing anything. 829 00:41:44,853 --> 00:41:45,053 Speaker 4: Much. 830 00:41:45,213 --> 00:41:50,813 Speaker 2: Planning is this human superpower that built civilization and these 831 00:41:50,893 --> 00:41:54,933 Speaker 2: amazing cities and amazing things that all human beings have done. 832 00:41:55,293 --> 00:41:57,093 Speaker 2: So on a very basic level, you can sit in 833 00:41:57,133 --> 00:42:00,173 Speaker 2: your house and worry that the water is going to 834 00:42:00,213 --> 00:42:02,133 Speaker 2: start coming through the walls and the paint's peeling off, 835 00:42:02,413 --> 00:42:03,773 Speaker 2: or you can make a plan to paint it and 836 00:42:03,853 --> 00:42:06,213 Speaker 2: go and paint it. And unless you're going to actually 837 00:42:06,373 --> 00:42:08,292 Speaker 2: make a plan and going painted, you're not doing anything. 838 00:42:08,493 --> 00:42:12,733 Speaker 2: You're just spinning your mental wheels. And so you've got 839 00:42:12,773 --> 00:42:14,812 Speaker 2: people that are worrying about what's going to happen with China? 840 00:42:15,293 --> 00:42:17,453 Speaker 2: Are you doing anything about it? Are you? 841 00:42:17,893 --> 00:42:18,253 Speaker 5: Or are you? 842 00:42:18,453 --> 00:42:20,813 Speaker 2: As Peter was still buying stuff for his parts whilst 843 00:42:20,813 --> 00:42:22,813 Speaker 2: worrying about China, there's a text here from someone I've 844 00:42:22,853 --> 00:42:25,093 Speaker 2: made the ethical decision to stop buying from countries that 845 00:42:25,133 --> 00:42:29,293 Speaker 2: aren't democracies. So on a very small level, they're doing something. 846 00:42:29,373 --> 00:42:31,293 Speaker 2: It might not make a huge difference, but they are. 847 00:42:31,373 --> 00:42:34,933 Speaker 2: Actually they've had to worry and they've taken an action. 848 00:42:35,413 --> 00:42:36,933 Speaker 2: And if you just have the worry and don't take 849 00:42:36,933 --> 00:42:39,333 Speaker 2: any action, then you're not actually doing anything. You're just 850 00:42:39,453 --> 00:42:43,373 Speaker 2: living in your imagination. You're just rolling things around in 851 00:42:43,453 --> 00:42:43,773 Speaker 2: your head. 852 00:42:43,933 --> 00:42:46,293 Speaker 3: And as much as Peter was a good fellow, you've 853 00:42:46,293 --> 00:42:49,573 Speaker 3: got to say that text is probably got less suffering 854 00:42:49,613 --> 00:42:51,453 Speaker 3: in their lives than Peter, because I've taken a little 855 00:42:51,493 --> 00:42:51,893 Speaker 3: bit of action. 856 00:42:52,173 --> 00:42:55,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, and on a less global scale. I always think 857 00:42:55,093 --> 00:43:00,573 Speaker 2: of the quote from Seneca, the famous philosopher and Roman statesman, 858 00:43:00,653 --> 00:43:03,253 Speaker 2: a Roman states and he said the only safe harbor 859 00:43:03,293 --> 00:43:06,173 Speaker 2: in life's tossing troubled seas to refuse to be bothered 860 00:43:06,213 --> 00:43:08,573 Speaker 2: about the future, what the future will bring, and to 861 00:43:08,653 --> 00:43:11,973 Speaker 2: stand ready and confident squaring the breast to take without 862 00:43:12,173 --> 00:43:16,053 Speaker 2: skulking or flinching whatever future hurls at us. And what's 863 00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:18,493 Speaker 2: that saying is, if you've got the power to live 864 00:43:18,573 --> 00:43:21,613 Speaker 2: right now, and you're you're dealing with what's now, then 865 00:43:22,053 --> 00:43:23,973 Speaker 2: you'll probably be able to deal with what comes your way. 866 00:43:24,413 --> 00:43:25,733 Speaker 2: And the very least you can just. 867 00:43:25,893 --> 00:43:28,573 Speaker 3: Stand unflinching, squaring the. 868 00:43:28,693 --> 00:43:30,813 Speaker 2: Chest towards the future, saying bring it on. 869 00:43:31,573 --> 00:43:34,333 Speaker 3: And he would know. Wasn't it Narro that told Seneca, Hey, 870 00:43:34,453 --> 00:43:36,732 Speaker 3: I just want you to injure life, and Senega's that, Yeah, 871 00:43:36,773 --> 00:43:37,533 Speaker 3: I can't change it. 872 00:43:37,693 --> 00:43:40,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, narrow, narrow, Yeah, it's not going to He was 873 00:43:40,973 --> 00:43:43,653 Speaker 2: a bad guy. Narrow. Seneca did have to take his 874 00:43:43,813 --> 00:43:45,533 Speaker 2: life at the hands of Nero, but you know, he 875 00:43:45,573 --> 00:43:47,652 Speaker 2: didn't spend his life worrying about it, and he didn't 876 00:43:47,653 --> 00:43:48,853 Speaker 2: get angry because he couldn't change it. 877 00:43:48,973 --> 00:43:51,093 Speaker 3: Great man, Yeah, fantastic place to leave it. 878 00:43:51,253 --> 00:43:51,413 Speaker 15: Right. 879 00:43:51,893 --> 00:43:55,573 Speaker 3: Let's have a chat about sibling rivalry even a little 880 00:43:55,613 --> 00:43:58,013 Speaker 3: bit further than that. A great story in the Herald 881 00:43:58,133 --> 00:44:02,653 Speaker 3: When to call time on a toxic sibling relationship, and 882 00:44:02,773 --> 00:44:05,533 Speaker 3: it detailed a couple of personal stories about siblings who 883 00:44:05,773 --> 00:44:10,293 Speaker 3: had got into an argument or something significant, fairly significant, 884 00:44:10,293 --> 00:44:13,652 Speaker 3: and happened, and they'd stopped talking with each other, which 885 00:44:13,773 --> 00:44:15,893 Speaker 3: is to me a heck of a thing to do 886 00:44:16,133 --> 00:44:19,253 Speaker 3: to a sibling. I am trying to think of what 887 00:44:19,693 --> 00:44:22,173 Speaker 3: may need to happen between me and my brother to 888 00:44:22,293 --> 00:44:25,533 Speaker 3: stop talking for a big length of time. 889 00:44:25,613 --> 00:44:27,013 Speaker 2: So you've got an elder and a younger brother. 890 00:44:27,133 --> 00:44:27,293 Speaker 16: Yep. 891 00:44:27,373 --> 00:44:30,453 Speaker 3: So Dylan's the oldest and Luke's the youngest by some Marginie, 892 00:44:30,533 --> 00:44:32,813 Speaker 3: she the difference between me and Dylan is about three years. 893 00:44:33,333 --> 00:44:37,613 Speaker 3: Luke is seven years younger than me, and me and 894 00:44:37,813 --> 00:44:39,893 Speaker 3: Dylan actually, now that I said that that, I can't 895 00:44:39,973 --> 00:44:41,933 Speaker 3: think of what the bar would be me and Dylan. 896 00:44:41,973 --> 00:44:44,773 Speaker 3: It was about five years ago during Mum's wedding to 897 00:44:45,013 --> 00:44:48,933 Speaker 3: her new polder, younger, older, older, yet older, And I 898 00:44:49,013 --> 00:44:51,013 Speaker 3: guess that is that sibling rivalry that me and Dylan 899 00:44:51,053 --> 00:44:53,732 Speaker 3: grew up and I was always the youngest, so him 900 00:44:53,813 --> 00:44:56,373 Speaker 3: being the oldest, always thought he knew knew better. But 901 00:44:56,893 --> 00:44:58,693 Speaker 3: I can't even remember what happened. But we had some 902 00:44:59,053 --> 00:45:02,933 Speaker 3: form of argument after Mum's wedding, which was freaking lame 903 00:45:02,973 --> 00:45:04,973 Speaker 3: in the first place. It's Mum's weekend. You know, she's 904 00:45:04,973 --> 00:45:07,533 Speaker 3: getting married to her new love. We got into an 905 00:45:07,613 --> 00:45:09,413 Speaker 3: argument and then we stopped speaking to each other for 906 00:45:09,413 --> 00:45:10,212 Speaker 3: about three months. 907 00:45:10,413 --> 00:45:10,853 Speaker 2: Juvenile. 908 00:45:11,053 --> 00:45:13,013 Speaker 3: It was juvenile, and there we both got to the 909 00:45:13,053 --> 00:45:15,293 Speaker 3: point is I think we both kind of message each 910 00:45:15,333 --> 00:45:17,053 Speaker 3: other at the same time and saying, why are we 911 00:45:17,133 --> 00:45:19,213 Speaker 3: doing this? This is stupid. We can't even remember what 912 00:45:19,253 --> 00:45:22,212 Speaker 3: the argument was about. Yes, let's grow up a little 913 00:45:22,213 --> 00:45:24,172 Speaker 3: bit and put it to side. We're brothers for goodness sake. 914 00:45:24,333 --> 00:45:30,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean outside violence or you know, horrific crimes. 915 00:45:31,413 --> 00:45:33,893 Speaker 2: I think you've got to it's got to be pretty 916 00:45:34,573 --> 00:45:37,653 Speaker 2: freaking major to not stick with your siblings. 917 00:45:37,773 --> 00:45:38,013 Speaker 6: Yeah. 918 00:45:38,333 --> 00:45:41,333 Speaker 2: I think that family is so important, and there comes 919 00:45:41,413 --> 00:45:43,613 Speaker 2: a time in your life when when family can sometimes 920 00:45:43,653 --> 00:45:46,373 Speaker 2: be all you've got. So if you've burnt your family 921 00:45:46,653 --> 00:45:49,733 Speaker 2: a family member out on some small thing and you 922 00:45:49,853 --> 00:45:51,933 Speaker 2: might need them in the future and they might need you. 923 00:45:52,173 --> 00:45:55,093 Speaker 2: I mean this situation here that that's coming off. When 924 00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:58,253 Speaker 2: when it's time to call on a toxic sibling relationship. 925 00:45:58,253 --> 00:46:00,453 Speaker 2: Whenever I heard the word toxic about anything on my alarm, 926 00:46:00,533 --> 00:46:01,413 Speaker 2: bells go off. 927 00:46:03,773 --> 00:46:05,733 Speaker 3: Excuse me choking on my coffee? There, it is a 928 00:46:05,773 --> 00:46:09,173 Speaker 3: mess of buzzword, isn't it toxic? Overused beverages. 929 00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:12,093 Speaker 2: I did the sisily thing and let her move in 930 00:46:12,253 --> 00:46:14,333 Speaker 2: with us for a while after her marriage imploded, but 931 00:46:14,493 --> 00:46:17,053 Speaker 2: later found out she was bad mouthing me and my 932 00:46:17,173 --> 00:46:20,413 Speaker 2: husband to mutual friends. Standing up to her just resulted 933 00:46:20,493 --> 00:46:23,773 Speaker 2: and roused when I unfriended her on Facebook after one 934 00:46:23,853 --> 00:46:26,773 Speaker 2: too many sneery responses to my post. She often tried 935 00:46:26,813 --> 00:46:29,373 Speaker 2: to turn my adult children against me, I realized just 936 00:46:29,533 --> 00:46:31,853 Speaker 2: just couldn't trust her. Enough was enough. I cut off 937 00:46:32,173 --> 00:46:35,693 Speaker 2: full contact. So im, I don't know about that. 938 00:46:35,893 --> 00:46:36,652 Speaker 3: It's a heck of a thing. 939 00:46:36,693 --> 00:46:39,652 Speaker 2: But I've got three lovely sisters. Yeah, I can't even 940 00:46:39,693 --> 00:46:42,373 Speaker 2: see them really causing me too many problems? 941 00:46:43,053 --> 00:46:46,853 Speaker 3: Isn't it with siblings though? Is there's few people I 942 00:46:46,973 --> 00:46:50,093 Speaker 3: think that genuinely love confrontation, right is. Maybe there are 943 00:46:50,173 --> 00:46:52,293 Speaker 3: some people out there that love it, but I think 944 00:46:52,493 --> 00:46:56,053 Speaker 3: most people don't really like to be screaming and yelling 945 00:46:56,093 --> 00:46:57,893 Speaker 3: at somebody else. But when it comes to siblings, I 946 00:46:58,013 --> 00:47:00,933 Speaker 3: think surely there's more of a chance to be more 947 00:47:00,973 --> 00:47:04,333 Speaker 3: honest with your sibling. Right So, in that scenario, which 948 00:47:04,533 --> 00:47:07,413 Speaker 3: is a terrible way to behave to your brother or sister, 949 00:47:07,813 --> 00:47:10,013 Speaker 3: would it not be easier in that stance if you're 950 00:47:10,093 --> 00:47:12,213 Speaker 3: that person on the receiving end to say, what are 951 00:47:12,253 --> 00:47:14,133 Speaker 3: you doing? Pull your frickin head and we're going to 952 00:47:14,213 --> 00:47:15,653 Speaker 3: have a barnie about this and get to that and 953 00:47:15,773 --> 00:47:17,933 Speaker 3: sort it out once and for all, rather than just 954 00:47:18,013 --> 00:47:20,172 Speaker 3: cutting off contact and saying I'm done with you for good. 955 00:47:20,733 --> 00:47:20,933 Speaker 6: Yeah. 956 00:47:21,133 --> 00:47:24,093 Speaker 2: I think there is a part of sibling hood where 957 00:47:24,213 --> 00:47:29,853 Speaker 2: you're like kittens and dogs and little tigers fighting each 958 00:47:29,893 --> 00:47:31,853 Speaker 2: other to get your strength up for society. And I 959 00:47:31,893 --> 00:47:33,933 Speaker 2: think they have done some studies just to find that. So, 960 00:47:34,213 --> 00:47:35,813 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of that niggle you have when 961 00:47:35,813 --> 00:47:38,613 Speaker 2: your kids is all about getting yourself ready for social 962 00:47:39,013 --> 00:47:41,173 Speaker 2: and the politics of actually being an adult. So I 963 00:47:41,213 --> 00:47:42,613 Speaker 2: think you know, when you're in the back seat and 964 00:47:42,813 --> 00:47:44,853 Speaker 2: you know, punching your sister in the arm so she 965 00:47:45,333 --> 00:47:47,933 Speaker 2: screams and tells you off to your mum, I think 966 00:47:47,973 --> 00:47:50,613 Speaker 2: that's kind of natural. But as you go into adulthood, 967 00:47:51,013 --> 00:47:53,173 Speaker 2: I think you've got it. You've got to do everything 968 00:47:53,293 --> 00:47:55,613 Speaker 2: you can to keep the family together. But you know, 969 00:47:55,853 --> 00:47:58,133 Speaker 2: I haven't experienced None of my sisters have ever done 970 00:47:58,133 --> 00:48:00,172 Speaker 2: any I don't think any of my sisters. I've got 971 00:48:00,213 --> 00:48:03,573 Speaker 2: three wonderful sisters, Catherine and Luis and Imogen, I don't 972 00:48:03,573 --> 00:48:06,213 Speaker 2: think either of them have done anything bad to me, 973 00:48:07,413 --> 00:48:09,333 Speaker 2: or maybe or they might say that you're so zoned 974 00:48:09,333 --> 00:48:11,853 Speaker 2: out that you don't even notice. They might have been 975 00:48:11,893 --> 00:48:13,693 Speaker 2: trying to slight me the whole time. I wudn't say it. 976 00:48:13,813 --> 00:48:17,373 Speaker 3: I'm going to keep these people anonymous, but family members, 977 00:48:17,413 --> 00:48:19,013 Speaker 3: and I'm not going to say how close they are 978 00:48:19,133 --> 00:48:21,933 Speaker 3: to me.

Yeah. 1035 00:50:56,733 --> 00:51:00,693 Speaker 17: Basically, my family broke up when I was three in 1036 00:51:00,773 --> 00:51:04,333 Speaker 17: the mid seventies. And the difference between my brothers is 1037 00:51:04,413 --> 00:51:06,013 Speaker 17: they were born in the early sixties and I was 1038 00:51:06,093 --> 00:51:12,373 Speaker 17: born in the early seventies, and they didn't come back 1039 00:51:12,413 --> 00:51:16,573 Speaker 17: into my life until my mother got to dementia and 1040 00:51:17,373 --> 00:51:18,893 Speaker 17: it was to get money and. 1041 00:51:18,933 --> 00:51:24,133 Speaker 5: Take over a house. And then my father died and. 1042 00:51:26,573 --> 00:51:30,813 Speaker 17: It even became an issue to get him cremated, and 1043 00:51:31,453 --> 00:51:36,373 Speaker 17: the behavior of my siblings has even gone to the 1044 00:51:36,413 --> 00:51:41,493 Speaker 17: point of trying to have my children removed, and all 1045 00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:47,973 Speaker 17: of this to gain lots of money. The behavior, of course, 1046 00:51:49,493 --> 00:51:55,213 Speaker 17: resulted in and even bigger separations. So I thought that 1047 00:51:55,293 --> 00:51:59,933 Speaker 17: we were coming back together to help mum and to 1048 00:52:00,573 --> 00:52:02,613 Speaker 17: get her house sold and do it up and all 1049 00:52:02,653 --> 00:52:04,493 Speaker 17: that sort of stuff, but it just became a money 1050 00:52:04,533 --> 00:52:10,413 Speaker 17: grab and they're living off the respect of that. The 1051 00:52:10,533 --> 00:52:13,133 Speaker 17: relationship that I was waiting for all those years that 1052 00:52:13,253 --> 00:52:16,813 Speaker 17: I thought, you know, that would happen, never. 1053 00:52:16,773 --> 00:52:21,893 Speaker 5: Came, and they've made it clear that they don't want 1054 00:52:21,893 --> 00:52:24,213 Speaker 5: anything to do with me or my kids. 1055 00:52:25,453 --> 00:52:27,933 Speaker 17: And I had to realize that, you know, I'd been 1056 00:52:28,413 --> 00:52:30,613 Speaker 17: monts to a father and wanting brothers and knowing that 1057 00:52:30,613 --> 00:52:32,373 Speaker 17: I had of family all my life, and it had 1058 00:52:32,453 --> 00:52:33,133 Speaker 17: affected me. 1059 00:52:34,773 --> 00:52:39,693 Speaker 5: And as a human being. So for me, my siblings 1060 00:52:41,613 --> 00:52:42,253 Speaker 5: have really. 1061 00:52:44,893 --> 00:52:51,533 Speaker 17: Prodressed anything good other than the dream, and that's disappointment 1062 00:52:52,133 --> 00:52:57,533 Speaker 17: and my own unique experience. I have met other people 1063 00:52:58,573 --> 00:52:59,693 Speaker 17: or the similar story. 1064 00:53:00,973 --> 00:53:01,453 Speaker 5: I think. 1065 00:53:03,053 --> 00:53:07,733 Speaker 17: The only good I can take from that relationship is 1066 00:53:07,813 --> 00:53:10,333 Speaker 17: that I know want not to install in white children. 1067 00:53:10,653 --> 00:53:14,213 Speaker 17: And luckily for me, my in law was. 1068 00:53:14,613 --> 00:53:17,253 Speaker 5: Really really good with a large funder with lod of 1069 00:53:17,333 --> 00:53:20,573 Speaker 5: love in it.

Did they acknowledge that in 1077 00:53:46,853 --> 00:53:50,773 Speaker 2: the the negotiations around the house. They just heard that 1078 00:53:50,853 --> 00:53:52,333 Speaker 2: it was happening, and then came up and thought that 1079 00:53:52,413 --> 00:53:55,933 Speaker 2: they were owed a certain and owed something for the time. 1080 00:53:56,373 --> 00:53:59,493 Speaker 17: And one, yeah, one became a wealthare guardian and then 1081 00:53:59,573 --> 00:54:01,573 Speaker 17: paid the other himself a lot of money, and the 1082 00:54:01,653 --> 00:54:06,253 Speaker 17: other two and got all nasty and you know, made 1083 00:54:06,333 --> 00:54:08,013 Speaker 17: up of his lives and things.

I think you know Johnny's 1145 00:57:21,893 --> 00:57:24,573 Speaker 3: point there that the door's always open, and I think 1146 00:57:24,613 --> 00:57:26,493 Speaker 3: when I you never give up on family, there's never 1147 00:57:26,533 --> 00:57:28,773 Speaker 3: given up on family. Clearly, if the door's always open, 1148 00:57:28,853 --> 00:57:30,773 Speaker 3: doors brothers, if they want to come and have a 1149 00:57:30,893 --> 00:57:34,093 Speaker 3: chat and see if they can get through that, then 1150 00:57:34,173 --> 00:57:36,933 Speaker 3: that possibility still remains in Johnny's mind. And I think 1151 00:57:37,013 --> 00:57:39,093 Speaker 3: that's where I'd always be, that there's always if we 1152 00:57:39,173 --> 00:57:41,053 Speaker 3: have a falling out, there'd always be a possibility. I'd 1153 00:57:41,093 --> 00:57:42,253 Speaker 3: never give up on a family member. 1154 00:57:42,733 --> 00:57:45,093 Speaker 2: It's a funny situation though, what Johnny is saying there 1155 00:57:45,093 --> 00:57:47,333 Speaker 2: as you always imagine. You see other families and you think, oh, 1156 00:57:47,413 --> 00:57:50,213 Speaker 2: everyone's got this amazing. I've got this problem with my brothers, 1157 00:57:50,293 --> 00:57:53,453 Speaker 2: but look at all these families with this incredible relationship 1158 00:57:53,533 --> 00:57:55,933 Speaker 2: with their brothers.

But this one from Jody 1181 00:59:00,333 --> 00:59:02,053 Speaker 2: here TeX's come through. I haven't spoken to my old 1182 00:59:02,093 --> 00:59:04,813 Speaker 2: man in twenty five years. Very nasty old fella better 1183 00:59:04,893 --> 00:59:07,253 Speaker 2: off without him. When my partner I lost our child, 1184 00:59:07,333 --> 00:59:09,933 Speaker 2: he said it wasn't it was probably for the best. 1185 00:59:10,413 --> 00:59:13,693 Speaker 2: Always always doing nasty stuff. I mean, yeah, there's no 1186 00:59:13,813 --> 00:59:17,613 Speaker 2: doubt that people and families are capable of it. I mean, 1187 00:59:17,653 --> 00:59:20,533 Speaker 2: there's nasty people in the world, and those nasty people 1188 00:59:20,533 --> 00:59:24,093 Speaker 2: are from families. So it is a bit naive to 1189 00:59:24,133 --> 00:59:26,613 Speaker 2: say that you should always stick with your family, obviously, 1190 00:59:27,173 --> 00:59:29,533 Speaker 2: because there are some people where it's just you can't. 1191 00:59:29,653 --> 00:59:32,773 Speaker 2: But I guess I'm saying that you should tend towards 1192 00:59:32,773 --> 00:59:36,013 Speaker 2: sticking with your family because you know, after the break, 1193 00:59:36,013 --> 00:59:40,253 Speaker 2: I'll share a I'll share the results from this longest 1194 00:59:40,293 --> 00:59:42,693 Speaker 2: you know, or the longest study that's ever done on 1195 00:59:42,813 --> 00:59:45,093 Speaker 2: human happiness and how important family was to that. 1196 00:59:45,333 --> 00:59:47,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's an interesting text, and I know I 1197 00:59:47,973 --> 00:59:50,053 Speaker 3: can't comprehend what that would be like if my old 1198 00:59:50,133 --> 00:59:51,973 Speaker 3: man said that to me or mayven if we're in 1199 00:59:52,053 --> 00:59:56,533 Speaker 3: that situation. But I think if Dad was to say that, 1200 00:59:56,813 --> 01:00:00,653 Speaker 3: would I I'd be incredibly incredibly hurt. I don't know 1201 01:00:00,693 --> 01:00:03,853 Speaker 3: if I'd cut him off. I would forgive him, but 1202 01:00:03,973 --> 01:00:07,213 Speaker 3: he wouldn't be as much a part of our lives 1203 01:00:07,413 --> 01:00:09,013 Speaker 3: as he would have been. A few was a good person. 1204 01:00:09,093 --> 01:00:11,173 Speaker 2: But I've seen a good things of things that seen 1205 01:00:11,173 --> 01:00:13,533 Speaker 2: the things in family where people someone says something not 1206 01:00:13,653 --> 01:00:16,133 Speaker 2: quite right, they don't quite get the words right, and 1207 01:00:16,253 --> 01:00:19,813 Speaker 2: then that is taken a certain way because these are heightened, 1208 01:00:19,893 --> 01:00:24,293 Speaker 2: dramatic parts of life when when tragic things happen, and 1209 01:00:24,493 --> 01:00:26,253 Speaker 2: some you can just get the words slightly wrong, and 1210 01:00:26,293 --> 01:00:27,773 Speaker 2: then it goes down in history that you said that, 1211 01:00:27,893 --> 01:00:29,533 Speaker 2: and there's no coming back, there's no convincing them that 1212 01:00:29,573 --> 01:00:30,893 Speaker 2: you didn't say it. I'm not saying that's the case 1213 01:00:30,933 --> 01:00:35,253 Speaker 2: in that situation, but sometimes feuds are misunderstanding, so you 1214 01:00:35,293 --> 01:00:35,973 Speaker 2: can't understand that. 1215 01:00:36,173 --> 01:00:40,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, text number is nine two and nine two.

I mean, there 1297 01:04:45,413 --> 01:04:47,213 Speaker 3: is a lot of power in saying, hey, I'm really 1298 01:04:47,333 --> 01:04:48,373 Speaker 3: sorry I was a dick. 1299 01:04:49,053 --> 01:04:52,053 Speaker 2: Well, there's yeah, absolutely, and there's definitely as I say, 1300 01:04:52,133 --> 01:04:54,213 Speaker 2: and a lot of these texts coming through, which isn't 1301 01:04:54,253 --> 01:04:55,773 Speaker 2: quite the focus of what we're talking about here, but 1302 01:04:55,813 --> 01:04:58,573 Speaker 2: where people have done and families have done truly evil things, 1303 01:04:58,653 --> 01:05:01,893 Speaker 2: because evil things are done by people that are in families. 1304 01:05:01,973 --> 01:05:05,893 Speaker 2: So there is obviously lines that cannot be crossed where 1305 01:05:05,933 --> 01:05:08,293 Speaker 2: you don't want to have anything to do with someone, right, certainly, 1306 01:05:08,573 --> 01:05:10,853 Speaker 2: but you've got to ask yourself when you're holding a grudge, 1307 01:05:11,013 --> 01:05:13,213 Speaker 2: you gotta go, is this worth it? Is it really 1308 01:05:13,333 --> 01:05:15,533 Speaker 2: worth it? Because you can hold a grudge on just 1309 01:05:15,573 --> 01:05:17,773 Speaker 2: a tiny little thing and it just burns and burns 1310 01:05:17,813 --> 01:05:21,173 Speaker 2: and burns. He goes, is the original sin worth the 1311 01:05:21,453 --> 01:05:24,693 Speaker 2: years and years of this grudge? Or is that just 1312 01:05:24,853 --> 01:05:27,253 Speaker 2: being born upon itself over and over over again? 1313 01:05:27,373 --> 01:05:27,573 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1314 01:05:27,853 --> 01:05:31,173 Speaker 2: And also you've got to put yourself just try steal, 1315 01:05:31,253 --> 01:05:36,373 Speaker 2: meaning the brother or sister's opinion right, what they might 1316 01:05:36,453 --> 01:05:39,333 Speaker 2: have seen from it, right, because maybe you are the dick. 1317 01:05:39,373 --> 01:05:41,093 Speaker 2: You've always got to ask the question, am I actually 1318 01:05:41,133 --> 01:05:43,773 Speaker 2: being the dick in this situation? Because someone's probably being 1319 01:05:43,813 --> 01:05:45,573 Speaker 2: the dick could love you and and. 1320 01:05:45,653 --> 01:05:48,533 Speaker 3: It can be both. Yeah, oh one hundred eighty ten eighty. 1321 01:05:48,653 --> 01:05:50,373 Speaker 3: If you've had a falling out with a family member 1322 01:05:50,493 --> 01:05:53,173 Speaker 3: or sibling, love to hear from you what happened and 1323 01:05:53,253 --> 01:05:54,253 Speaker 3: did you manage to make up? 1324 01:05:54,573 --> 01:05:57,053 Speaker 2: Growing up, my dad used to have this spiel about 1325 01:05:57,133 --> 01:05:59,893 Speaker 2: how you'll always have your brother, etc. You've got to 1326 01:05:59,933 --> 01:06:02,253 Speaker 2: be friends, says this textra a nineteen nine two screw that. 1327 01:06:02,813 --> 01:06:04,933 Speaker 2: We had an argument because my brother assumed he would 1328 01:06:04,973 --> 01:06:06,773 Speaker 2: be the best man at my wedding. This is a 1329 01:06:06,853 --> 01:06:09,373 Speaker 2: man I have nothing in common with, or barely talk 1330 01:06:09,493 --> 01:06:11,733 Speaker 2: to when he was told he wasn't he decided not 1331 01:06:11,813 --> 01:06:14,453 Speaker 2: to come. Friends are so much more important than family. 1332 01:06:15,253 --> 01:06:18,413 Speaker 2: You get to choose your friends. Yeah, okay, but I 1333 01:06:18,493 --> 01:06:20,893 Speaker 2: mean so that's really not worth an argument, is it. 1334 01:06:20,973 --> 01:06:22,493 Speaker 2: Growing up, my dad said we had to be friends. 1335 01:06:22,533 --> 01:06:25,053 Speaker 2: By bah. We had an argument because my brother assumed 1336 01:06:25,133 --> 01:06:27,533 Speaker 2: he would be best man at the wedding. This is 1337 01:06:27,573 --> 01:06:29,613 Speaker 2: a man I have nothing in common with. Well, you 1338 01:06:29,693 --> 01:06:31,053 Speaker 2: do have a common with that. You he's your brother 1339 01:06:31,133 --> 01:06:32,573 Speaker 2: and he wanted to be best man at your wedding. 1340 01:06:32,613 --> 01:06:34,453 Speaker 2: You could, you could, You could look at it that 1341 01:06:34,533 --> 01:06:36,493 Speaker 2: way and go, isn't it nice that my brother wanted 1342 01:06:36,493 --> 01:06:39,053 Speaker 2: to be best man at my wedding? Because you don't 1343 01:06:39,093 --> 01:06:40,853 Speaker 2: want to be best man at a wedding because because 1344 01:06:40,893 --> 01:06:42,733 Speaker 2: you hate the person.

And as you mentioned before, 1348 01:06:50,693 --> 01:06:54,693 Speaker 3: you know, grudges, is that causing you more suffering by 1349 01:06:54,773 --> 01:06:57,493 Speaker 3: holding that grudge versus the person that you're really angry with, 1350 01:06:57,653 --> 01:07:00,613 Speaker 3: even if you were in in the right.

One day I just 1371 01:07:59,213 --> 01:08:01,893 Speaker 19: decided I didn't want to work with him anymore, and 1372 01:08:02,293 --> 01:08:05,613 Speaker 19: we sold the company. And he hasn't talked to me since. 1373 01:08:06,013 --> 01:08:09,853 Speaker 2: How long ago. Was that Julian years ago? Oh wow, right, 1374 01:08:10,133 --> 01:08:13,773 Speaker 2: so have you have you have you reached out to him? 1375 01:08:15,053 --> 01:08:17,173 Speaker 19: I did for the first couple of years, and it 1376 01:08:17,372 --> 01:08:19,412 Speaker 19: was totally ignored. And then I had a bit of 1377 01:08:19,452 --> 01:08:24,093 Speaker 19: a patient epiphany one day that I realized that it 1378 01:08:24,213 --> 01:08:27,293 Speaker 19: wasn't me that had a problem, it was him. If 1379 01:08:27,333 --> 01:08:29,973 Speaker 19: he didn't want to resolve it, it's fine, and he 1380 01:08:30,053 --> 01:08:33,052 Speaker 19: gave me, I would say a certain amount of closure. 1381 01:08:35,452 --> 01:08:36,133 Speaker 8: I Look, I. 1382 01:08:37,652 --> 01:08:39,812 Speaker 19: I always thought one day that we'll get back to 1383 01:08:39,853 --> 01:08:43,013 Speaker 19: it together. Even when my mother passed away last year, 1384 01:08:43,772 --> 01:08:47,412 Speaker 19: that never happened. But all I can say is, people, look, 1385 01:08:47,492 --> 01:08:49,612 Speaker 19: sometimes you do have to reach a point where you 1386 01:08:50,293 --> 01:08:52,772 Speaker 19: you've done enough to try to repair that. It's not 1387 01:08:52,893 --> 01:08:56,092 Speaker 19: going to do you any good try trying to carry 1388 01:08:56,173 --> 01:08:57,852 Speaker 19: on to repair it. You just have to let go. 1389 01:08:58,133 --> 01:09:00,572 Speaker 19: So that would be my only bit of advice. 1390 01:09:01,133 --> 01:09:04,093 Speaker 2: Can you see anything in his opinion? Was he just 1391 01:09:04,732 --> 01:09:08,492 Speaker 2: the business was important to him and he felt like 1392 01:09:08,612 --> 01:09:11,772 Speaker 2: you took something away from him by breaking up the business. 1393 01:09:11,812 --> 01:09:13,893 Speaker 2: Do you think that's what his problem is? 1394 01:09:14,732 --> 01:09:17,253 Speaker 19: Look, I can honestly say I have no idea because 1395 01:09:17,293 --> 01:09:20,852 Speaker 19: we never you know, once we decided to sell a company, 1396 01:09:21,572 --> 01:09:24,732 Speaker 19: netwook most probably sort of a couple of months to 1397 01:09:24,812 --> 01:09:27,572 Speaker 19: get all the finances sorted out, and even to the 1398 01:09:27,652 --> 01:09:30,053 Speaker 19: point when we went to see the accountant to sign 1399 01:09:30,093 --> 01:09:32,812 Speaker 19: the papers. I'm sure he thought that I was going 1400 01:09:32,893 --> 01:09:35,452 Speaker 19: to change my mind, but I never did, and I 1401 01:09:37,772 --> 01:09:41,133 Speaker 19: carried on. I ran what I think was a pretty 1402 01:09:41,173 --> 01:09:45,492 Speaker 19: successful business in the same line. But yeah, you know, 1403 01:09:45,612 --> 01:09:49,293 Speaker 19: he had issues, and I'm sure they went back. I mean, 1404 01:09:49,333 --> 01:09:52,213 Speaker 19: I learned afterwards they went back to our high school 1405 01:09:52,412 --> 01:09:57,293 Speaker 19: school days. I blame my parents to a certain extent 1406 01:09:57,372 --> 01:10:00,412 Speaker 19: because they let all this go on with They always 1407 01:10:00,492 --> 01:10:03,213 Speaker 19: wanted to sit on the fence with the two of 1408 01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:07,532 Speaker 19: us and not agree or disagree with anybody. And I 1409 01:10:07,612 --> 01:10:10,053 Speaker 19: guess that the only that made me when I, you know, 1410 01:10:10,213 --> 01:10:13,412 Speaker 19: with it with my kids. I always listened to their 1411 01:10:13,492 --> 01:10:15,972 Speaker 19: opinions and gave them my opinion of who. 1412 01:10:16,013 --> 01:10:17,012 Speaker 5: Was right and who was wrong. 1413 01:10:19,293 --> 01:10:24,972 Speaker 19: And I felt better for that of my experiences. But yeah, look, 1414 01:10:25,293 --> 01:10:27,213 Speaker 19: you know, it was it's very it was very sad. 1415 01:10:27,772 --> 01:10:31,813 Speaker 19: And as I say, you know, once I had realized 1416 01:10:31,853 --> 01:10:34,053 Speaker 19: that you know, he had the problem, not me, it 1417 01:10:34,213 --> 01:10:36,532 Speaker 19: made it made things a lot easier for me. 1418 01:10:36,772 --> 01:10:38,852 Speaker 3: Well, thank you for being really candid with us, Julian, 1419 01:10:38,933 --> 01:10:40,772 Speaker 3: did do you have other siblings or is it just 1420 01:10:40,893 --> 01:10:41,532 Speaker 3: you on your twin? 1421 01:10:42,452 --> 01:10:44,133 Speaker 19: No, just me and my twin. And I think, look, 1422 01:10:44,173 --> 01:10:46,812 Speaker 19: you know, people think I always think twins are very close, 1423 01:10:46,853 --> 01:10:50,213 Speaker 19: and I'm sure some are. We were very very close 1424 01:10:50,293 --> 01:10:52,133 Speaker 19: up until high school. And then you know, I think 1425 01:10:52,253 --> 01:10:54,172 Speaker 19: when in different directions. 1426 01:10:56,133 --> 01:10:58,572 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I suppose the reason I asked that, Julian, 1427 01:10:58,612 --> 01:11:02,013 Speaker 3: and you mentioned your parents before that that said on 1428 01:11:02,093 --> 01:11:04,532 Speaker 3: the fence as you as you said, there was no 1429 01:11:04,692 --> 01:11:09,092 Speaker 3: other mediator within the family to try and help meant 1430 01:11:09,492 --> 01:11:10,132 Speaker 3: what had happened? 1431 01:11:11,213 --> 01:11:14,133 Speaker 19: No, No, And look, you know, the issue was between 1432 01:11:14,412 --> 01:11:17,812 Speaker 19: me and him.

So it was, you know, it 1455 01:12:11,772 --> 01:12:15,932 Speaker 19: was partly my fauledoman those those bitter feelings about parting 1456 01:12:16,492 --> 01:12:18,572 Speaker 19: had been building up for some time. It wasn't just 1457 01:12:18,652 --> 01:12:21,333 Speaker 19: something I woke up one day and decided. I was 1458 01:12:21,492 --> 01:12:24,132 Speaker 19: very lucky that I had the support of my wife 1459 01:12:25,333 --> 01:12:29,532 Speaker 19: because it was a huge decision to leave a very 1460 01:12:29,612 --> 01:12:31,932 Speaker 19: well established family business to go out on your own. 1461 01:12:32,053 --> 01:12:35,093 Speaker 19: But I always had her support and the you know, 1462 01:12:35,293 --> 01:12:40,132 Speaker 19: the the family support and Julia that served me helped Julian. 1463 01:12:40,213 --> 01:12:43,293 Speaker 2: If your identical twin brother reached out to you, now, 1464 01:12:43,452 --> 01:12:46,213 Speaker 2: would you would you welcome them with them with an 1465 01:12:46,253 --> 01:12:48,253 Speaker 2: open heart? Or has it been too long? 1466 01:12:49,532 --> 01:12:52,772 Speaker 19: Look at this, There's so much happened in that time.

When during that 1479 01:13:30,213 --> 01:13:33,852 Speaker 19: time when I was trying to reconnect, I was diagnosed 1480 01:13:33,893 --> 01:13:38,173 Speaker 19: with non hoskinsimp fhoma. There was very strong possibility that 1481 01:13:38,253 --> 01:13:40,452 Speaker 19: what I was going to have to have a bow 1482 01:13:40,532 --> 01:13:43,133 Speaker 19: male transplant, which would have meant that I would have 1483 01:13:43,333 --> 01:13:46,213 Speaker 19: ended up if he was willing with his DNA. Wow, 1484 01:13:47,372 --> 01:13:51,532 Speaker 19: And I really seriously thought, what do I really want 1485 01:13:52,492 --> 01:13:54,852 Speaker 19: to have this person that hates me that much in 1486 01:13:54,973 --> 01:13:55,612 Speaker 19: my body? 1487 01:13:56,372 --> 01:14:01,293 Speaker 2: Wow, That's that's a cinematic situation you've got right there. 1488 01:14:02,133 --> 01:14:04,133 Speaker 19: And look, it didn't it didn't come down to it, luckily, 1489 01:14:04,293 --> 01:14:09,293 Speaker 19: but there was that sort of possibility, and yeah, better 1490 01:14:09,412 --> 01:14:09,892 Speaker 19: history there. 1491 01:14:09,933 --> 01:14:11,852 Speaker 2: Gosh, yeah, my god, what a story. 1492 01:14:11,933 --> 01:14:13,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, Julian, thanks for being so frank with us. 1493 01:14:13,893 --> 01:14:17,333 Speaker 2: Well yeah, and absolutely absolutely one hundred get back to 1494 01:14:17,452 --> 01:14:21,333 Speaker 2: us if you're identical twin brother reaches out to you 1495 01:14:21,532 --> 01:14:27,173 Speaker 2: because I love only some closure as well, Julian, so 1496 01:14:27,253 --> 01:14:27,972 Speaker 2: much for you very much. 1497 01:14:28,572 --> 01:14:31,452 Speaker 3: Wow. So I know I've had some problems with my brothers, 1498 01:14:31,532 --> 01:14:34,412 Speaker 3: but you know that really puts things into perspective, doesn't it. 1499 01:14:34,772 --> 01:14:37,612 Speaker 2: For some reason, I'm quite quite affected they're there identical 1500 01:14:37,692 --> 01:14:40,652 Speaker 2: twins because you do you do see that from the outside. 1501 01:14:40,652 --> 01:14:43,293 Speaker 2: You think identical twins will just be close for their 1502 01:14:43,333 --> 01:14:46,492 Speaker 2: whole life. But it's interesting who's the older twin because 1503 01:14:46,532 --> 01:14:50,773 Speaker 2: my mum and her sister were twins, right, ye, not identical, 1504 01:14:51,213 --> 01:14:54,372 Speaker 2: but twins and ones like just a few minutes older 1505 01:14:54,652 --> 01:14:56,333 Speaker 2: my mum, and as a result, she was always the 1506 01:14:56,372 --> 01:14:59,452 Speaker 2: older sister. Yeah, even though it was only moments, because 1507 01:14:59,492 --> 01:15:01,412 Speaker 2: you've always told you came out first, so you become 1508 01:15:01,532 --> 01:15:03,852 Speaker 2: kind of the older twin even though it's seconds. Yeah. 1509 01:15:03,893 --> 01:15:05,812 Speaker 3: And that must have been particularly half of Julian, because 1510 01:15:05,812 --> 01:15:09,173 Speaker 3: you do hear that those twins have their connection wherever 1511 01:15:09,213 --> 01:15:10,812 Speaker 3: they are in the world, there's just that connection if 1512 01:15:10,853 --> 01:15:12,772 Speaker 3: you're a twin, whether that's straw or not. I'm not 1513 01:15:12,853 --> 01:15:14,253 Speaker 3: a twin, I don't know, but yeah. 1514 01:15:14,173 --> 01:15:16,253 Speaker 2: Well you think that you're asking me, is you think 1515 01:15:16,253 --> 01:15:17,932 Speaker 2: it's true that they've got a psychic connection? 1516 01:15:18,213 --> 01:15:18,932 Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you reckon? 1517 01:15:21,093 --> 01:15:23,412 Speaker 2: It's funny though, because you know that's not true. You 1518 01:15:23,532 --> 01:15:26,253 Speaker 2: know that twins. Twins don't have a psychic connection, but 1519 01:15:26,333 --> 01:15:28,653 Speaker 2: we all think they do. Yeah, we all imagine. 1520 01:15:28,333 --> 01:15:31,053 Speaker 3: Movies have lied to us. One hundred eighty ten eighty. 1521 01:15:31,213 --> 01:15:32,412 Speaker 2: That was a great story from Julian. 1522 01:15:33,093 --> 01:15:35,412 Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1523 01:15:35,452 --> 01:15:36,852 Speaker 3: It is ten to three. 1524 01:15:38,452 --> 01:15:40,852 Speaker 1: The issues that affect you and a bit of fun 1525 01:15:40,933 --> 01:15:44,173 Speaker 1: along the way.

But 1534 01:16:05,893 --> 01:16:07,572 Speaker 19: there's a couple of things I wanted to touch on. 1535 01:16:07,732 --> 01:16:10,532 Speaker 19: Onezo a bit different, but the same sort of thing. 1536 01:16:10,692 --> 01:16:16,492 Speaker 19: But yeah, Firstly, my mother had three brothers and she 1537 01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:18,772 Speaker 19: had a couple of issues with a couple of them, 1538 01:16:18,853 --> 01:16:20,852 Speaker 19: and we always used to go there and stay on 1539 01:16:20,893 --> 01:16:23,932 Speaker 19: holidays and that, and they were always glad to see 1540 01:16:23,973 --> 01:16:27,333 Speaker 19: her and they loved her. But she kind of got 1541 01:16:27,412 --> 01:16:30,133 Speaker 19: a few things, you know, issues in her mind with them, 1542 01:16:30,173 --> 01:16:31,572 Speaker 19: that sort of thing. And I always felt that it 1543 01:16:31,692 --> 01:16:34,892 Speaker 19: was such a shame, so sad because being an only 1544 01:16:35,053 --> 01:16:37,732 Speaker 19: child and these were my uncles. I used to look 1545 01:16:37,772 --> 01:16:39,692 Speaker 19: at it like, Gee, I wish I had brothers and 1546 01:16:39,772 --> 01:16:42,053 Speaker 19: sisters that loved me, you know, and we might have 1547 01:16:42,173 --> 01:16:44,492 Speaker 19: differences in that, but they're always glad to see her, 1548 01:16:45,652 --> 01:16:50,492 Speaker 19: and yeah, she I don't know how to say it, 1549 01:16:50,612 --> 01:16:53,932 Speaker 19: but sometimes couldn't see that, you know, But I could 1550 01:16:54,053 --> 01:16:56,293 Speaker 19: because I was sort of even though it was a 1551 01:16:56,973 --> 01:17:01,692 Speaker 19: son and a grand grandchild, I could see it from 1552 01:17:01,732 --> 01:17:04,732 Speaker 19: the outside of someone's perspective of looking in without brothers 1553 01:17:04,772 --> 01:17:07,412 Speaker 19: and sisters saying, Gee, they love you. Why can't you 1554 01:17:07,532 --> 01:17:09,213 Speaker 19: see it? And why are you so angry at them? 1555 01:17:09,253 --> 01:17:09,652 Speaker 19: At times? 1556 01:17:09,732 --> 01:17:12,133 Speaker 2: You know, I was just sort of saying that before 1557 01:17:12,572 --> 01:17:15,732 Speaker 2: everyone looks out other families and go wish mine was 1558 01:17:15,732 --> 01:17:17,852 Speaker 2: like that, there's something wrong with mine. I had three sisters, 1559 01:17:17,893 --> 01:17:20,053 Speaker 2: always wanted a brother. But then you talk to other 1560 01:17:20,093 --> 01:17:22,253 Speaker 2: people that had their brother and they had massive problems 1561 01:17:22,293 --> 01:17:24,572 Speaker 2: with their brothers. You don't have any brothers and sisters, 1562 01:17:24,612 --> 01:17:26,772 Speaker 2: so you think that people falling out of their brothers 1563 01:17:26,772 --> 01:17:29,252 Speaker 2: and sisters. You've got this opportunity to have this relationship 1564 01:17:29,293 --> 01:17:31,852 Speaker 2: that you don't, so you, for you, it must be like, 1565 01:17:31,933 --> 01:17:34,493 Speaker 2: come on, just get together. You've got this amazing opportunity. 1566 01:17:35,652 --> 01:17:35,812 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1567 01:17:35,933 --> 01:17:37,692 Speaker 19: Yeah, it is because for me a lot of times, 1568 01:17:37,772 --> 01:17:40,932 Speaker 19: like I'm fifty six now and both my parents are gone, 1569 01:17:41,452 --> 01:17:48,052 Speaker 19: and so for me, I always sort of the world 1570 01:17:48,093 --> 01:17:49,973 Speaker 19: can be a very lonely place at times, you know, 1571 01:17:50,053 --> 01:17:52,812 Speaker 19: and for me, like you say, like sometimes all you 1572 01:17:52,853 --> 01:17:55,372 Speaker 19: have is family to fall back on, you know, or 1573 01:17:55,692 --> 01:17:57,652 Speaker 19: be to support you. But the other thing I wanted 1574 01:17:57,652 --> 01:17:59,253 Speaker 19: to say, and that's why I think it's so sad too. 1575 01:18:00,013 --> 01:18:02,333 Speaker 19: And now the thing because I understand things happened, you know, 1576 01:18:02,452 --> 01:18:05,732 Speaker 19: we know you we're human beings, an emotional and that, 1577 01:18:05,853 --> 01:18:07,973 Speaker 19: and it's hard to control those at most sometimes. But 1578 01:18:08,812 --> 01:18:11,013 Speaker 19: the other thing, the slightly different thing was that I 1579 01:18:11,093 --> 01:18:14,053 Speaker 19: was wanting to say too, was that my grandfather was 1580 01:18:14,053 --> 01:18:16,532 Speaker 19: from Northern Ireland and I don't have no much history 1581 01:18:16,532 --> 01:18:18,253 Speaker 19: and he got killed and I was a baby and 1582 01:18:18,372 --> 01:18:20,133 Speaker 19: no one want to talk here, and no one sort 1583 01:18:20,173 --> 01:18:24,452 Speaker 19: of talked about about Granddad and his home in Northern Ireland, 1584 01:18:24,452 --> 01:18:26,093 Speaker 19: where he came from, what happened and why he left 1585 01:18:26,133 --> 01:18:28,692 Speaker 19: in that but he came out with her brother.

This one says my brother is a pastor. 1630 01:20:57,133 --> 01:20:59,093 Speaker 3: I smoke and drink and I ended up being the 1631 01:20:59,173 --> 01:21:01,972 Speaker 3: blank sheep of the family. Is my family said I'm 1632 01:21:02,013 --> 01:21:04,812 Speaker 3: a sinner. None of us will change, and we had 1633 01:21:04,893 --> 01:21:07,732 Speaker 3: many full fallouts over time. We get together and I 1634 01:21:07,772 --> 01:21:10,093 Speaker 3: don't say any think now about religion, and my brother 1635 01:21:10,173 --> 01:21:12,732 Speaker 3: doesn't say I'm a sinner. It is working, all right 1636 01:21:12,772 --> 01:21:15,532 Speaker 3: from Steve. That's tough. 1637 01:21:17,612 --> 01:21:22,572 Speaker 2: That's funny. Yeah, so that seems like there's a classic 1638 01:21:22,612 --> 01:21:24,133 Speaker 2: story that one isn't It certainly is. 1639 01:21:24,253 --> 01:21:25,612 Speaker 3: Yes, the family. 1640 01:21:25,933 --> 01:21:28,772 Speaker 2: Yeah, my brother made some stupid decisions that meant he 1641 01:21:28,893 --> 01:21:30,812 Speaker 2: ended up in jail, and after he got out he 1642 01:21:30,893 --> 01:21:33,732 Speaker 2: finally changed et cetera. But we had no contact for 1643 01:21:33,772 --> 01:21:35,692 Speaker 2: about four or five years. Now we get on fine. 1644 01:21:36,093 --> 01:21:38,452 Speaker 2: He has a young family and they love hanging out 1645 01:21:38,532 --> 01:21:39,013 Speaker 2: with each other. 1646 01:21:39,213 --> 01:21:39,732 Speaker 3: That's nice. 1647 01:21:40,652 --> 01:21:40,893 Speaker 5: There you go. 1648 01:21:40,973 --> 01:21:43,333 Speaker 2: It's a positive one. This one here jail. 1649 01:21:43,893 --> 01:21:46,213 Speaker 3: Kay, guys, I haven't spoken to my sister now for 1650 01:21:46,293 --> 01:21:48,852 Speaker 3: three years. When my mom died, her wishes were to 1651 01:21:48,893 --> 01:21:51,133 Speaker 3: be cremated and then have her ashes put in a 1652 01:21:51,173 --> 01:21:54,372 Speaker 3: box and buried under a tree in the cemetery. So 1653 01:21:54,652 --> 01:21:57,213 Speaker 3: what did my sisters do? She scattered them, which made 1654 01:21:57,293 --> 01:22:02,132 Speaker 3: me incredibly upset. Sisters, Ah, I prefer my friends from Marlene. 1655 01:22:02,412 --> 01:22:06,133 Speaker 2: That's a that's a bold move. So when my mom 1656 01:22:06,893 --> 01:22:09,532 Speaker 2: she wanted her, it's just put in a boxing and 1657 01:22:09,692 --> 01:22:11,852 Speaker 2: she's got Yeah. Okay, that's out of spite. 1658 01:22:11,973 --> 01:22:14,853 Speaker 3: That is Yeah, that's incredibly topic. 1659 01:22:14,572 --> 01:22:14,852 Speaker 2: Isn't it. 1660 01:22:15,133 --> 01:22:15,333 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1661 01:22:17,893 --> 01:22:19,452 Speaker 2: I was going to tell a story about someone that's 1662 01:22:19,452 --> 01:22:22,173 Speaker 2: asked me to commit a vengeful act on someone else 1663 01:22:22,293 --> 01:22:25,013 Speaker 2: with his eshes. He's sworn me I'm not going to 1664 01:22:25,053 --> 01:22:28,652 Speaker 2: give them the details actually, because yeah, ever. 1665 01:22:28,532 --> 01:22:29,173 Speaker 3: Think about that one. 1666 01:22:29,213 --> 01:22:32,053 Speaker 2: That sounds like I know someone, when they die, we're 1667 01:22:32,053 --> 01:22:33,732 Speaker 2: going to cremate him, and then I'm going to commit 1668 01:22:33,772 --> 01:22:39,892 Speaker 2: a vengeful act on someone else with the HI guys 1669 01:22:39,933 --> 01:22:43,892 Speaker 2: would love to call but bad reception. I think because 1670 01:22:43,933 --> 01:22:46,093 Speaker 2: you both appear to have wonderful families, it's hard for 1671 01:22:46,173 --> 01:22:48,092 Speaker 2: you to get your head around cutting them off. Tyler 1672 01:22:48,492 --> 01:22:50,572 Speaker 2: just made the point that his dad said it's for 1673 01:22:50,652 --> 01:22:52,972 Speaker 2: the best. He would be upset, but he couldn't cut 1674 01:22:53,053 --> 01:22:56,013 Speaker 2: him off. Tyler, what if your dad said such an 1675 01:22:56,173 --> 01:22:59,812 Speaker 2: insensitive thing constantly? Could you be patient enough to constantly 1676 01:22:59,853 --> 01:23:02,492 Speaker 2: forgive him, but I bet eventually you would snap and 1677 01:23:02,612 --> 01:23:05,412 Speaker 2: your life would be better without him. That's from Craig. 1678 01:23:05,612 --> 01:23:07,293 Speaker 2: I mean that that's true, that that is the elephant 1679 01:23:07,333 --> 01:23:09,532 Speaker 2: in the room for both of us commenting on this 1680 01:23:09,652 --> 01:23:12,052 Speaker 2: and going, well, I think you should patch it all together, 1681 01:23:12,173 --> 01:23:15,293 Speaker 2: and you can. And stuff is that we've both got good, 1682 01:23:15,652 --> 01:23:19,133 Speaker 2: you know, good relationships with their families, and we've been 1683 01:23:19,213 --> 01:23:22,253 Speaker 2: lucky in that regard. So me me saying I would 1684 01:23:22,293 --> 01:23:24,852 Speaker 2: never have a grudge with my sisters and never stopped 1685 01:23:24,853 --> 01:23:27,133 Speaker 2: talking to them as a testament to what great sisters 1686 01:23:27,173 --> 01:23:28,133 Speaker 2: I've got, which is pure luck. 1687 01:23:28,253 --> 01:23:28,412 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1688 01:23:28,452 --> 01:23:30,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, and easy for me to say as well, you're 1689 01:23:30,133 --> 01:23:30,732 Speaker 3: quite right. 1690 01:23:31,053 --> 01:23:34,532 Speaker 2: Or maybe they're great because I'm such a great brother. Hey, guys, 1691 01:23:34,572 --> 01:23:38,012 Speaker 2: I think before you grudge, I lost my best Hey guys, 1692 01:23:38,133 --> 01:23:40,492 Speaker 2: think before you grudge. I lost my best friends suddenly. 1693 01:23:41,173 --> 01:23:44,492 Speaker 2: One year ago. I lost my best friend suddenly, brother 1694 01:23:44,612 --> 01:23:47,532 Speaker 2: one year ago. I'm absolutely devastated. I thank god we 1695 01:23:47,692 --> 01:23:50,093 Speaker 2: never had one argument. He was fifty eight and I'm 1696 01:23:50,093 --> 01:23:52,572 Speaker 2: in my sixties. That's Kathy. Yeah, I mean, that's the 1697 01:23:52,612 --> 01:23:54,253 Speaker 2: other thing with a grudge is you don't know what's 1698 01:23:54,293 --> 01:23:55,692 Speaker 2: going to happen in the next You've got to make 1699 01:23:55,732 --> 01:23:59,012 Speaker 2: sure that their grudge is worth it, because you can't 1700 01:23:59,093 --> 01:24:00,852 Speaker 2: you can't really do much about it once they've gone. 1701 01:24:01,013 --> 01:24:01,213 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1702 01:24:01,372 --> 01:24:04,892 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now you mentioned before the news when it comes 1703 01:24:04,933 --> 01:24:07,972 Speaker 3: to grudges, there was a particular study that was done 1704 01:24:08,013 --> 01:24:09,572 Speaker 3: on the effects of holding a groach. 1705 01:24:10,133 --> 01:24:15,372 Speaker 2: Well, this study is it's the longest study that's ever 1706 01:24:15,452 --> 01:24:17,372 Speaker 2: been done on human happiness. It was an eighty five 1707 01:24:17,492 --> 01:24:21,133 Speaker 2: year old, eighty five year Harvard study, and so it 1708 01:24:21,253 --> 01:24:25,772 Speaker 2: found one thousand young people in Boston and followed them 1709 01:24:25,772 --> 01:24:31,693 Speaker 2: for their entire life eighty five years. And it was originally, interestingly, 1710 01:24:31,732 --> 01:24:35,452 Speaker 2: it was originally commissioned by a department store that wanted 1711 01:24:35,492 --> 01:24:38,213 Speaker 2: to find out if happiness made better employees. But they 1712 01:24:38,333 --> 01:24:40,772 Speaker 2: was taken on by Harvard University and it was kept 1713 01:24:40,853 --> 01:24:44,293 Speaker 2: going eighty one years. And the psychiatrist that ran it 1714 01:24:44,333 --> 01:24:48,893 Speaker 2: as a guy called Robert Walmdanger, and he ran it 1715 01:24:48,933 --> 01:24:50,173 Speaker 2: for some of it. There'd been a few others, but 1716 01:24:50,213 --> 01:24:52,532 Speaker 2: it went for so long. But in the end, after 1717 01:24:52,612 --> 01:24:57,013 Speaker 2: all of the happiness everything, they summed up exactly what 1718 01:24:57,173 --> 01:25:00,692 Speaker 2: the difference between happiness and a lack of happiness in 1719 01:25:00,812 --> 01:25:04,213 Speaker 2: life was. After eighty five years and all the different things. 1720 01:25:04,253 --> 01:25:09,732 Speaker 2: And this is a quote from from Robert Waldinger. Contrary 1721 01:25:09,732 --> 01:25:13,053 Speaker 2: to what you might think, it's not career achievement, money, exercise, 1722 01:25:13,213 --> 01:25:15,892 Speaker 2: or a healthy diet. The most consistent finding we've learned 1723 01:25:15,973 --> 01:25:20,053 Speaker 2: through eighty five years of study is positive relationships up 1724 01:25:20,213 --> 01:25:24,732 Speaker 2: keep us happier, healthier, and help us live longer. Period. 1725 01:25:25,213 --> 01:25:29,852 Speaker 2: And his advice was get over grudges. Yeah, so after 1726 01:25:29,933 --> 01:25:32,972 Speaker 2: an eighty five year study, he found that the people 1727 01:25:33,013 --> 01:25:35,013 Speaker 2: that keept grudges were less happy, and the people that 1728 01:25:35,053 --> 01:25:37,412 Speaker 2: got over them were happier on the whole. And obviously 1729 01:25:37,412 --> 01:25:39,772 Speaker 2: there's ones you can't go. There's terrible things people do. 1730 01:25:40,173 --> 01:25:43,452 Speaker 2: But if you can tend towards getting overgrudges and patching 1731 01:25:43,532 --> 01:25:46,652 Speaker 2: up relationships with people, be their friends and family, then 1732 01:25:47,013 --> 01:25:49,133 Speaker 2: you have a happier and healthier life. That's a great 1733 01:25:49,372 --> 01:25:50,772 Speaker 2: according to an eighty five year study. 1734 01:25:50,893 --> 01:25:53,612 Speaker 3: Yep, that's a great way to end that. Right after 1735 01:25:54,093 --> 01:25:56,532 Speaker 3: we play some messages, we won't have a chat about 1736 01:25:56,692 --> 01:26:00,213 Speaker 3: tattoos and whether they are still to be in New Zealand. 1737 01:26:00,253 --> 01:26:03,492 Speaker 3: If you've got tattoos yourself, I've. 1738 01:26:03,372 --> 01:26:04,293 Speaker 2: Got some sweet tats. 1739 01:26:04,412 --> 01:26:06,293 Speaker 3: You do have some sweet test how many tattoos?

I can see two of them. 1741 01:26:09,893 --> 01:26:10,692 Speaker 3: Where are the other three? 1742 01:26:11,572 --> 01:26:13,133 Speaker 2: You can see two of them.

That tattoo I've got on my 1748 01:26:23,572 --> 01:26:25,612 Speaker 2: on my left shoulder of a dinosaur or the getto Blaster? 1749 01:26:25,692 --> 01:26:27,093 Speaker 3: What does that say on the coat of arms? It's 1750 01:26:27,093 --> 01:26:28,013 Speaker 3: almost like a coat of arms? 1751 01:26:28,053 --> 01:26:29,732 Speaker 2: But has it got some sort of it says Matt 1752 01:26:29,812 --> 01:26:30,812 Speaker 2: Heath is the greatest? 1753 01:26:30,973 --> 01:26:31,213 Speaker 17: Does it? 1754 01:26:31,333 --> 01:26:31,692 Speaker 3: Hex thing? 1755 01:26:31,853 --> 01:26:33,652 Speaker 5: Yeah? It might be. 1756 01:26:34,532 --> 01:26:36,612 Speaker 2: It's the worst ttoever. It's not even factually true. 1757 01:26:37,093 --> 01:26:38,333 Speaker 3: Well what's the story behind that? 1758 01:26:38,812 --> 01:26:40,893 Speaker 2: Well, it's just at one point in my life I 1759 01:26:40,933 --> 01:26:44,093 Speaker 2: thought a dinosaur or the getto Blaster would be a 1760 01:26:44,093 --> 01:26:46,692 Speaker 2: cool thing to get tattooed on me, and then I 1761 01:26:46,812 --> 01:26:48,652 Speaker 2: changed the message on it. At one point it used 1762 01:26:48,692 --> 01:26:51,013 Speaker 2: to say something else. And on this the arm I've 1763 01:26:51,013 --> 01:26:53,612 Speaker 2: got like a I mean, I can go on, but 1764 01:26:53,893 --> 01:26:55,333 Speaker 2: this is just a sailing ship. 1765 01:26:55,572 --> 01:26:56,692 Speaker 3: There's very popeye, isn't it. 1766 01:26:56,812 --> 01:26:57,012 Speaker 17: Yeah? 1767 01:26:57,173 --> 01:27:00,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love your style, mate, that's great, But. 1768 01:27:01,093 --> 01:27:04,732 Speaker 2: Anyway, tattoos are they are they still to taboo after 1769 01:27:04,853 --> 01:27:08,133 Speaker 2: this this, this, this article today Tyler. 1770 01:27:07,973 --> 01:27:10,652 Speaker 3: Well, this particular guy, he's the founder of two Hands 1771 01:27:10,732 --> 01:27:15,253 Speaker 3: Tattoo Studio. His name is Stefan and Spider Sinclair and 1772 01:27:15,452 --> 01:27:18,092 Speaker 3: he reckons we are one of the most tattooed nations 1773 01:27:18,253 --> 01:27:21,452 Speaker 3: on the planet. But certainly in the past twenty thirty, 1774 01:27:21,532 --> 01:27:24,612 Speaker 3: forty to fifty years there has been some taboo around tattoos. 1775 01:27:24,652 --> 01:27:28,333 Speaker 3: He reckons Stefan that most of those taboos have gone 1776 01:27:28,412 --> 01:27:31,692 Speaker 3: by the wayside, But I would argue there are some 1777 01:27:32,093 --> 01:27:36,172 Speaker 3: tattoos that would still raise eyebrows. Neck tattoos, for example, 1778 01:27:36,572 --> 01:27:39,652 Speaker 3: even if those nick tattoos have no relation to any 1779 01:27:39,692 --> 01:27:43,173 Speaker 3: sort of gang activity or any sort of nefarious activity, 1780 01:27:43,452 --> 01:27:45,612 Speaker 3: I would still raise my eyebrows a little bit if 1781 01:27:45,652 --> 01:27:47,932 Speaker 3: I came across someone with a nick tattoo, I would 1782 01:27:47,973 --> 01:27:49,973 Speaker 3: want to know the story behind it. But part of 1783 01:27:50,013 --> 01:27:54,372 Speaker 3: me would still question, Hey, whether that is somewhat nefarious 1784 01:27:54,692 --> 01:27:56,652 Speaker 3: or whether that is just the trend of today. 1785 01:27:57,053 --> 01:28:00,173 Speaker 2: It's a bold move. Certainly is because you don't know. 1786 01:28:00,333 --> 01:28:01,933 Speaker 2: You're saying that this is what you're going to be 1787 01:28:02,013 --> 01:28:03,213 Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. I mean, you can 1788 01:28:03,293 --> 01:28:07,133 Speaker 2: get them laser removed. But I'm sure there are people 1789 01:28:07,612 --> 01:28:12,133 Speaker 2: And even if if look, even if you wouldn't think 1790 01:28:12,213 --> 01:28:14,692 Speaker 2: that you would be judgmental of a tattoo, you might 1791 01:28:14,772 --> 01:28:16,852 Speaker 2: be hiring someone and you might just look at that 1792 01:28:17,013 --> 01:28:19,892 Speaker 2: neck tattoo and go wow, that's a pretty extreme thing 1793 01:28:19,933 --> 01:28:21,852 Speaker 2: to do. I wonder if that person thinks about the 1794 01:28:21,893 --> 01:28:24,973 Speaker 2: future enough. Yeah, you know, whilst you're not actually judging them, 1795 01:28:25,093 --> 01:28:26,492 Speaker 2: you might you might think about that. 1796 01:28:26,812 --> 01:28:29,732 Speaker 3: Because we all love shortcuts, right when you first meet someone, 1797 01:28:29,893 --> 01:28:33,652 Speaker 3: you've got the subconscious shortcuts that we all make. And 1798 01:28:33,812 --> 01:28:35,932 Speaker 3: I reckon there'd still be for a lot of people 1799 01:28:36,013 --> 01:28:39,612 Speaker 3: that subconscious thing when they see a tattoo, particularly neck tattoo, 1800 01:28:40,173 --> 01:28:42,572 Speaker 3: instantly they would think that person's got a bit of 1801 01:28:42,652 --> 01:28:45,173 Speaker 3: a bit of a past on them. Yeah, but am 1802 01:28:45,213 --> 01:28:45,572 Speaker 3: I wrong? 1803 01:28:45,853 --> 01:28:50,532 Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know. Is there still a tattoo taboo 1804 01:28:51,333 --> 01:28:54,053 Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty or nine two nine two, 1805 01:28:54,492 --> 01:28:56,772 Speaker 2: Or if you've got your a tattoo that you regret, 1806 01:28:57,452 --> 01:28:59,612 Speaker 2: then would love to hear from you too. And if 1807 01:28:59,652 --> 01:29:02,972 Speaker 2: you've got an intense tattoo that the world can see 1808 01:29:03,013 --> 01:29:04,612 Speaker 2: that you don't regret, we'd also love to hear from you. 1809 01:29:04,732 --> 01:29:04,852 Speaker 4: Yep. 1810 01:29:04,893 --> 01:29:07,412 Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1811 01:29:07,572 --> 01:29:10,213 Speaker 3: It is a quarter past three.

There's the 1824 01:29:46,812 --> 01:29:51,452 Speaker 3: founder of two Hands Tattoo Studio, Steph Spider Sinclair, and 1825 01:29:51,612 --> 01:29:54,132 Speaker 3: he reckons New Zealand is one of the most tattooed 1826 01:29:54,333 --> 01:29:56,372 Speaker 3: nations in the planet.

So I'm in a pretty high paying 1857 01:31:23,492 --> 01:31:28,093 Speaker 11: job doing really well. No financial employment issues, So yeah, 1858 01:31:28,173 --> 01:31:31,293 Speaker 11: I have a worry, but it hasn't been an issue. 1859 01:31:31,812 --> 01:31:34,893 Speaker 2: So did you get your job through a job interviews? 1860 01:31:35,133 --> 01:31:39,532 Speaker 2: So you sat down with your potential bloet and did 1861 01:31:39,572 --> 01:31:42,213 Speaker 2: you see their eyes creeping around your tattoos at all? 1862 01:31:43,692 --> 01:31:44,253 Speaker 11: A little bit? 1863 01:31:44,452 --> 01:31:44,652 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1864 01:31:44,732 --> 01:31:46,772 Speaker 11: But I mean as long as you have the skills 1865 01:31:46,812 --> 01:31:49,213 Speaker 11: and you know what you're doing, I don't think it's 1866 01:31:49,253 --> 01:31:49,692 Speaker 11: an issue. 1867 01:31:49,933 --> 01:31:50,133 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1868 01:31:50,293 --> 01:31:55,333 Speaker 3: Do you ever find people looking at you? Maybe slightly strangely, Cameron? 1869 01:31:55,372 --> 01:31:58,293 Speaker 3: And your daily life because you've got so many tattoos, 1870 01:31:58,452 --> 01:32:00,933 Speaker 3: you'd admit you would be quite unique. And even in 1871 01:32:01,013 --> 01:32:03,692 Speaker 3: New Zealand, do you find a few side glances when 1872 01:32:03,732 --> 01:32:05,412 Speaker 3: you're just going about your daily life? 1873 01:32:07,053 --> 01:32:07,572 Speaker 6: Very rarely? 1874 01:32:07,973 --> 01:32:10,612 Speaker 11: Usually you know old lady at a supermarket or something 1875 01:32:10,692 --> 01:32:14,372 Speaker 11: like that, but generally no, not really A do. 1876 01:32:14,372 --> 01:32:16,613 Speaker 2: You mind if I ask how old you are, Cameron. 1877 01:32:17,293 --> 01:32:20,293 Speaker 11: I'm thirty two, thirty two, so you've probably. 1878 01:32:20,053 --> 01:32:24,333 Speaker 2: Lived your whole life in an era where tattoos are 1879 01:32:24,772 --> 01:32:29,253 Speaker 2: more acceptable. I guess correct, because if say you were 1880 01:32:29,333 --> 01:32:33,413 Speaker 2: around I think in the in the eighties in nineties, 1881 01:32:33,853 --> 01:32:39,213 Speaker 2: potentially not so much. I mean tato is, yeah, because 1882 01:32:39,253 --> 01:32:41,133 Speaker 2: I imagine it would have been a major problem having 1883 01:32:41,173 --> 01:32:43,413 Speaker 2: the amount of tattoos you had in terms of employment, 1884 01:32:43,532 --> 01:32:45,333 Speaker 2: if it was even in the early two thousands. 1885 01:32:46,492 --> 01:32:49,412 Speaker 11: Yeah, I would agree. But look, you know, I just 1886 01:32:49,492 --> 01:32:52,412 Speaker 11: see it no different to dyeing your hair or putting 1887 01:32:52,492 --> 01:32:55,412 Speaker 11: on makeup, you know, putting paintings. 1888 01:32:55,053 --> 01:32:55,612 Speaker 6: On your walls. 1889 01:32:55,692 --> 01:32:59,772 Speaker 11: It's just art and self expression, you know that. So 1890 01:33:00,253 --> 01:33:02,372 Speaker 11: I don't think there's any issue with getting tattoos. 1891 01:33:03,133 --> 01:33:03,532 Speaker 3: Do you mind? 1892 01:33:03,692 --> 01:33:04,052 Speaker 6: Obviously? 1893 01:33:04,213 --> 01:33:06,532 Speaker 3: Do you mind talking about the reasons behind tattoos? Where 1894 01:33:06,612 --> 01:33:08,013 Speaker 3: your tattoos when people ask you? 1895 01:33:10,412 --> 01:33:11,852 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's a bit of a bit of 1896 01:33:11,893 --> 01:33:14,213 Speaker 11: a funny one. I don't really have heaps that have 1897 01:33:14,973 --> 01:33:18,012 Speaker 11: backstory or meaning, but it's just art to me. And yeah, 1898 01:33:18,013 --> 01:33:19,652 Speaker 11: but I don't mind talking about them at all. And 1899 01:33:20,253 --> 01:33:22,892 Speaker 11: now I've got a lot of friends that are tattoo artists, 1900 01:33:23,013 --> 01:33:26,572 Speaker 11: and so I'm around that culture quite a lot. I'm 1901 01:33:26,652 --> 01:33:27,532 Speaker 11: kind of used to it now. 1902 01:33:28,053 --> 01:33:30,692 Speaker 2: You got any regrets anyone's that you don't like anymore? 1903 01:33:32,333 --> 01:33:35,053 Speaker 11: No, no, not really.
