20
00:01:16,773 --> 00:01:19,652
Speaker 2: up here in Auckland. Pretty good around the country, is this? Yeah,

21
00:01:19,733 --> 00:01:20,493
Speaker 2: I've just said a wee.

22
00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:20,733
Speaker 1: Look.

23
00:01:21,453 --> 00:01:24,373
Speaker 3: How's it in my beloved Dunedin Donner is high of

24
00:01:24,453 --> 00:01:27,493
Speaker 3: fifteen degrees, little bit of cloud but mostly sun. What

25
00:01:27,533 --> 00:01:30,213
Speaker 3: about Christy, it's your old hometown until we moved up here.

26
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:33,613
Speaker 2: High of nineteen degrees, little bit of cloud but mostly sun.

27
00:01:33,693 --> 00:01:35,653
Speaker 2: I mean, it's to do the whole nation, and why

28
00:01:35,773 --> 00:01:37,173
Speaker 2: not let's bring it back with a jet.

29
00:01:37,292 --> 00:01:38,853
Speaker 3: What about your town of birth? Nelson?

30
00:01:39,292 --> 00:01:41,932
Speaker 2: Oh, Nelson's always stunning. Not a cloud in the sky

31
00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:43,813
Speaker 2: by the looks of it. A high of twenty one degrees.

32
00:01:43,853 --> 00:01:45,453
Speaker 3: What sunny and Nelson or Blenham?

33
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:49,533
Speaker 2: Oh, that's controversial, Yeah, because Nelson was top of the

34
00:01:49,533 --> 00:01:52,093
Speaker 2: table for a long time and then along came dirty

35
00:01:52,093 --> 00:01:54,493
Speaker 2: old Mulburn Blenham and took it away from us, and

36
00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:56,853
Speaker 2: then it took us ages to get it back. But

37
00:01:56,893 --> 00:01:59,093
Speaker 2: I think over the last five years Blenham has probably

38
00:01:59,133 --> 00:01:59,933
Speaker 2: got it more than Nelson.

39
00:01:59,973 --> 00:02:01,493
Speaker 3: I used to pic Cheries and Blenham when I was

40
00:02:01,733 --> 00:02:04,013
Speaker 3: in the holidays, when I was growing up, you know,

41
00:02:04,053 --> 00:02:06,333
Speaker 3: when I was at high school, and boy, oh boy,

42
00:02:06,453 --> 00:02:08,613
Speaker 3: the heat and the days it just seem like I

43
00:02:08,613 --> 00:02:10,173
Speaker 3: don't think I ever saw a bad day when I

44
00:02:10,253 --> 00:02:11,293
Speaker 3: was picking cherries and len them.

45
00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:14,213
Speaker 2: How many cherries did you eat across a good eight

46
00:02:14,253 --> 00:02:15,933
Speaker 2: hour shift. None of the smash for you.

47
00:02:16,213 --> 00:02:18,093
Speaker 3: None of the export ones, mate, you're going to have.

48
00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:21,173
Speaker 3: They're very very particular on the tubs for the ones

49
00:02:21,213 --> 00:02:23,213
Speaker 3: they're sending overseas. You don't touch those ones. But the

50
00:02:23,252 --> 00:02:25,773
Speaker 3: odd one with the little black eye on it, Yeah,

51
00:02:25,853 --> 00:02:26,813
Speaker 3: slam that up.

52
00:02:26,853 --> 00:02:29,613
Speaker 2: The You've got to fuel yourself to cherry picker. Yeah right, Hey,

53
00:02:29,653 --> 00:02:34,013
Speaker 2: onto the show today after three o'clock. Interesting story on

54
00:02:34,133 --> 00:02:37,093
Speaker 2: the New Zealand here Media Insider by Shane Curry. But

55
00:02:37,333 --> 00:02:39,813
Speaker 2: a bit of a battle going on with the global

56
00:02:39,972 --> 00:02:44,453
Speaker 2: streamers and money to actually produce some of these hit shows.

57
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:47,252
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a recommendition to the government that they force

58
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:49,813
Speaker 3: them to pay a certain amount of their money towards

59
00:02:49,853 --> 00:02:52,413
Speaker 3: producing New Zealand shows. But we want to ask how

60
00:02:52,493 --> 00:02:55,453
Speaker 3: important is it for you to have New Zealand shows on.

61
00:02:56,213 --> 00:02:58,053
Speaker 3: Is that a hugely important thing you do? And do

62
00:02:58,093 --> 00:03:01,213
Speaker 3: you think that the streamers, your Disney Plusses, your Apples,

63
00:03:01,252 --> 00:03:05,732
Speaker 3: your Netflixes, your Amazon primes should be forced to play

64
00:03:05,813 --> 00:03:07,213
Speaker 3: New Zealand content in New Zealand.

65
00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:09,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to be a good chat and a

66
00:03:09,053 --> 00:03:11,613
Speaker 2: reminder at the end of that hour and interview with

67
00:03:11,693 --> 00:03:13,653
Speaker 2: John Opryor on his new show.

68
00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:17,653
Speaker 3: Vince Yeah, starting on TV and z oh no sorry

82
00:03:45,773 --> 00:03:49,693
Speaker 3: two two is the text number? Is Valentine's Day still

83
00:03:49,693 --> 00:03:52,093
Speaker 3: a thing? Do you still have to get your partner flowers?

84
00:03:52,173 --> 00:03:55,093
Speaker 3: You still have to take them out for dinner? As

85
00:03:55,093 --> 00:03:58,773
Speaker 3: I as I told you before, Tyler, I've got tickets

86
00:03:58,773 --> 00:04:01,133
Speaker 3: to the rugby on Saturday. Yeah for me and my partner.

87
00:04:01,213 --> 00:04:01,773
Speaker 3: Is that enough?

88
00:04:01,933 --> 00:04:04,053
Speaker 2: How lucky Tracy, is what have you got on a

89
00:04:04,133 --> 00:04:04,853
Speaker 2: Christmas an iron?

90
00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:08,853
Speaker 3: Is that enough? I mean, I feel like it's off

91
00:04:09,493 --> 00:04:13,693
Speaker 3: the radar is a compulsory thing, and is it always

92
00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:17,373
Speaker 3: one way? Does it have to be like right now?

93
00:04:17,533 --> 00:04:19,892
Speaker 3: Is your partner may have planning something for you for

94
00:04:20,173 --> 00:04:22,373
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day or is it just one way traffic?

95
00:04:22,453 --> 00:04:25,213
Speaker 2: Well, we've had that discussion and we did say that

96
00:04:25,253 --> 00:04:28,733
Speaker 2: we're not going to buy each other anything for Valentine's Day,

97
00:04:28,773 --> 00:04:31,053
Speaker 2: but I always buy her something. But ay, that's going

98
00:04:31,093 --> 00:04:33,893
Speaker 2: to be a good chat after two o'clock. But right now, Tyler,

99
00:04:34,333 --> 00:04:37,293
Speaker 2: right now we are talking about the Royals and the

100
00:04:37,373 --> 00:04:42,013
Speaker 2: influence they still have or don't have on us as

101
00:04:42,053 --> 00:04:43,973
Speaker 2: New Zealanders and the rest of the world for that matter.

102
00:04:43,973 --> 00:04:46,133
Speaker 2: It's on the back of a story out of the

103
00:04:46,213 --> 00:04:50,533
Speaker 2: UK where a palace saurce claimed that officials would no

104
00:04:50,613 --> 00:04:56,813
Speaker 2: longer release details of Princess Kate's clothing for every day engagement.

105
00:04:56,933 --> 00:04:59,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, it coursed it a massive fraua and the person

106
00:04:59,253 --> 00:05:01,733
Speaker 3: that said that has walked those comments back a little bit.

107
00:05:01,773 --> 00:05:04,813
Speaker 3: But it got me wondering do people still care about

108
00:05:04,853 --> 00:05:07,013
Speaker 3: the royal family? Is it that much of a farraua

109
00:05:07,453 --> 00:05:10,813
Speaker 3: what Caate Middleton? Is she that much of a fashion

110
00:05:11,173 --> 00:05:13,733
Speaker 3: icon that it makes a big difference? Do we care?

111
00:05:13,973 --> 00:05:16,452
Speaker 3: Do we care about the Royal family? Because I feel

112
00:05:17,253 --> 00:05:20,253
Speaker 3: it doesn't come through my feed No, that doesn't pop

113
00:05:20,333 --> 00:05:23,213
Speaker 3: up in my in my bubble. Well, I don't know.

114
00:05:23,213 --> 00:05:25,013
Speaker 3: I don't. I feel like the Royal family is and

115
00:05:25,053 --> 00:05:26,613
Speaker 3: I like a lot of time for the Royal Family.

116
00:05:27,213 --> 00:05:28,653
Speaker 3: I've got a lot of time for Worll. I've got

117
00:05:28,693 --> 00:05:31,013
Speaker 3: a lot of time for Kate, absolute breath of fresh air,

118
00:05:31,413 --> 00:05:34,053
Speaker 3: I've got. I like Charlie. I've got a lot of

119
00:05:34,053 --> 00:05:37,733
Speaker 3: time for Charlie as well. Hate Harry, hate him to bits,

120
00:05:38,013 --> 00:05:41,973
Speaker 3: got no time for Megan. But but I just don't

121
00:05:42,013 --> 00:05:44,933
Speaker 3: feel like they have there are fashion icons anymore.

122
00:05:45,013 --> 00:05:49,053
Speaker 2: They've dropped off considerably after the Harry and Meghan situation,

123
00:05:49,373 --> 00:05:52,413
Speaker 2: and I think that that is the point. I think

124
00:05:52,453 --> 00:05:56,973
Speaker 2: they need controversy to be relevant. Without the controversy, without

125
00:05:57,053 --> 00:05:59,973
Speaker 2: something dramatic happening within the royal family, they kind of

126
00:05:59,973 --> 00:06:02,293
Speaker 2: just drop off and nobody cares outside of the UK,

127
00:06:02,453 --> 00:06:03,133
Speaker 2: nobody cares.

128
00:06:03,213 --> 00:06:05,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I loved the Queen. I thought the Queen

129
00:06:05,293 --> 00:06:07,373
Speaker 3: was great and it was it was the way that

130
00:06:07,413 --> 00:06:10,253
Speaker 3: she was just the Queen, her complete and uttered devotion

131
00:06:10,373 --> 00:06:13,213
Speaker 3: to her country and the keep calm and carry on

132
00:06:13,293 --> 00:06:15,613
Speaker 3: approach that she brought to everything. She was like a

133
00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:18,253
Speaker 3: she was like a rock. I know Diana used to

134
00:06:18,253 --> 00:06:21,493
Speaker 3: talk about her rocks, but the Queen was just this constant,

135
00:06:21,493 --> 00:06:25,453
Speaker 3: the steady, and whatever the scandal was, she operated in

136
00:06:25,453 --> 00:06:27,893
Speaker 3: the perfect way for it. So I think that. But

137
00:06:27,933 --> 00:06:29,653
Speaker 3: then again, was the queen of fashion icon?

138
00:06:30,213 --> 00:06:32,173
Speaker 2: Wow, yeah, she would have been in her early days.

139
00:06:32,213 --> 00:06:35,213
Speaker 2: I imagined rock to Tiara. Didn't see not many people

140
00:06:35,213 --> 00:06:37,693
Speaker 2: have Tiara's but she certainly looked good in one. I mean,

141
00:06:37,813 --> 00:06:40,213
Speaker 2: King Charles, he wouldn't be the same Woody and let's

142
00:06:40,213 --> 00:06:42,773
Speaker 2: be frank. Charles seems like a really nice guy, and

143
00:06:42,773 --> 00:06:44,293
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to be a decent king. But

144
00:06:44,293 --> 00:06:47,253
Speaker 2: he's a strange guy, very strange guy. If you believe

145
00:06:47,373 --> 00:06:48,133
Speaker 2: the tabloids in.

146
00:06:48,053 --> 00:06:49,253
Speaker 3: The UK, he's a strange guy.

147
00:06:49,533 --> 00:06:51,853
Speaker 2: Well you know when they had to cook him twelve

148
00:06:51,853 --> 00:06:53,573
Speaker 2: different boiled eggs and he had to lect which one

149
00:06:53,573 --> 00:06:55,253
Speaker 2: he wanted, and he had his teddy bears and he

150
00:06:55,333 --> 00:06:58,533
Speaker 2: had the Scottish bagpipes to wake him up at seven

151
00:06:58,693 --> 00:07:01,773
Speaker 2: fifteen every morning. I mean that is strange behavior, unless what.

152
00:07:01,653 --> 00:07:02,053
Speaker 5: Do you do that?

153
00:07:02,253 --> 00:07:03,453
Speaker 3: No, I don't, but I thought it was cool. It

154
00:07:03,453 --> 00:07:05,893
Speaker 3: was a different tune every day. But that was great

155
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:07,933
Speaker 3: for the bagpipist, if that's the way you say it

156
00:07:08,973 --> 00:07:11,173
Speaker 3: to us. He loved it was great work life balance

157
00:07:11,173 --> 00:07:12,733
Speaker 3: for him. So you get up in the morning he looked,

158
00:07:12,773 --> 00:07:14,253
Speaker 3: you know, and then he plays a little tune to

159
00:07:14,253 --> 00:07:16,173
Speaker 3: wake up Prince Charles, and then he'd spend the rest

160
00:07:16,173 --> 00:07:17,533
Speaker 3: of the day thinking about what the journey you'd play

161
00:07:17,613 --> 00:07:18,293
Speaker 3: for the next morning.

162
00:07:18,533 --> 00:07:18,893
Speaker 6: I don't know.

163
00:07:18,973 --> 00:07:20,693
Speaker 3: I think i'd be a very weird guy if I'd

164
00:07:20,733 --> 00:07:23,453
Speaker 3: been brought up in the royal family as well. Yeah,

165
00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:26,293
Speaker 3: but yeah, so do you not care about the royal family?

166
00:07:26,293 --> 00:07:28,373
Speaker 3: Do you care about the Royal family? Are they an

167
00:07:28,413 --> 00:07:29,213
Speaker 3: influence on your life?

168
00:07:29,253 --> 00:07:29,373
Speaker 4: Oh?

169
00:07:29,373 --> 00:07:31,533
Speaker 3: Wait, hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two

170
00:07:31,573 --> 00:07:32,293
Speaker 3: is the text number.

171
00:07:32,373 --> 00:07:34,453
Speaker 2: It is thirteen past one. Let's get into it.

172
00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:39,653
Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and

173
00:07:39,933 --> 00:07:43,533
Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo

174
00:07:43,853 --> 00:07:47,053
Speaker 1: XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to comfort

175
00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:47,973
Speaker 1: news talks, there'd be.

176
00:07:50,293 --> 00:07:52,373
Speaker 2: News talk there be. It's a quarter past one, quick

177
00:07:52,453 --> 00:07:54,693
Speaker 2: six here from lowest Tyler. Please get your facts right.

178
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:57,013
Speaker 2: Andrew is the teddy beer weirdo. Yeah, there's a few

179
00:07:57,013 --> 00:07:59,853
Speaker 2: weirdos in the royal family, certainly a prince. Andrew's right

180
00:07:59,933 --> 00:08:02,813
Speaker 2: up there. In fact, i'd go further than that, says,

181
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:05,173
Speaker 2: well night, let's not go down that track.

182
00:08:05,653 --> 00:08:07,853
Speaker 3: Hi, guys, my two cents worth a Charles should have

183
00:08:07,853 --> 00:08:11,053
Speaker 3: stepped down aside and taken William under his wing, and

184
00:08:11,093 --> 00:08:14,053
Speaker 3: he should have been king. We needed someone young enough

185
00:08:14,053 --> 00:08:16,373
Speaker 3: to lead the world in this day and age. It's

186
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:19,613
Speaker 3: more modern, and it's beyond Charles because he could not

187
00:08:20,013 --> 00:08:24,333
Speaker 3: match his mother in any way, shape or form. Thanks Simon. Yeah,

188
00:08:24,493 --> 00:08:27,613
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Yeah, I mean I got Yeah.

189
00:08:28,053 --> 00:08:31,253
Speaker 2: I've changed my opinion on King Charles when he had

190
00:08:31,293 --> 00:08:34,372
Speaker 2: to step in as king when Elizabeth passed away. And

191
00:08:34,373 --> 00:08:36,573
Speaker 2: you're quite right, she was a phenomenal queen, no doubt

192
00:08:36,612 --> 00:08:40,213
Speaker 2: about that, and I thought, oh goodness, gracious not Charlie.

193
00:08:40,453 --> 00:08:42,653
Speaker 2: But I've changed my opinion of him. He's been a

194
00:08:42,732 --> 00:08:45,132
Speaker 2: pretty good king. So I thought that he stepped up

195
00:08:45,132 --> 00:08:45,533
Speaker 2: to the mark.

196
00:08:45,612 --> 00:08:48,093
Speaker 3: I thought that whole pantomime and all the crazy stuff

197
00:08:48,132 --> 00:08:53,893
Speaker 3: they did, and his inauguration inauguration, coronation, the weird shower

198
00:08:53,933 --> 00:08:57,053
Speaker 3: curtain and the changing into different things, and where they

199
00:08:57,132 --> 00:08:59,132
Speaker 3: kept all that stuff and where all that protocols was

200
00:08:59,132 --> 00:09:01,373
Speaker 3: written down. I thought all that stuff was really really

201
00:09:01,372 --> 00:09:02,132
Speaker 3: weird and cool.

202
00:09:02,773 --> 00:09:05,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, even him losing his rag a little

203
00:09:05,093 --> 00:09:06,853
Speaker 2: bit when he was signing whatever he was signed, and

204
00:09:06,892 --> 00:09:09,172
Speaker 2: I though, ah, yeah, fair enough. Oh, one hundred and

205
00:09:09,213 --> 00:09:12,012
Speaker 2: eighteen eighty is the number to call, Richard. How are

206
00:09:12,053 --> 00:09:12,773
Speaker 2: you this afternoon?

207
00:09:13,413 --> 00:09:17,372
Speaker 7: Oh, good afternoon, good afternoon. Yeah, I'd like to speak

208
00:09:17,372 --> 00:09:21,133
Speaker 7: a little bit about the monarchy. When my former life,

209
00:09:21,252 --> 00:09:25,132
Speaker 7: I was executive officer to the Governor General, and I've

210
00:09:25,173 --> 00:09:28,573
Speaker 7: traveled with the royal family, okay, and I believe in it,

211
00:09:28,612 --> 00:09:31,533
Speaker 7: not through the ideas of stupid women's magazines, but the

212
00:09:31,612 --> 00:09:35,013
Speaker 7: constitutional role of it. You talked about the coronation then.

213
00:09:35,413 --> 00:09:37,813
Speaker 7: The first coronation of an English king was in about

214
00:09:37,892 --> 00:09:41,813
Speaker 7: nine seventy five, and the ceremony has remained largely the

215
00:09:41,852 --> 00:09:44,173
Speaker 7: same right through to the present day, with the symbols

216
00:09:44,173 --> 00:09:47,693
Speaker 7: of office. And I thought the coronation was beautifully done.

217
00:09:47,732 --> 00:09:51,333
Speaker 7: It wasn't quite as lavish as the Queen's won, but

218
00:09:51,653 --> 00:09:54,053
Speaker 7: all the various elements who were brought into it, the

219
00:09:54,132 --> 00:09:58,293
Speaker 7: different ethnic groups were brought into it, the religious leaders

220
00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:01,732
Speaker 7: from all religions. I thought the coronation was a relevant

221
00:10:01,813 --> 00:10:05,453
Speaker 7: one for today while still maintaining the traditions and the

222
00:10:05,453 --> 00:10:08,013
Speaker 7: symbols have been going on for over a thousand years.

223
00:10:08,333 --> 00:10:10,693
Speaker 3: Hey Richard, do you know, Richard, you know, just before

224
00:10:10,732 --> 00:10:11,852
Speaker 3: you go on with that, do you know where they

225
00:10:12,132 --> 00:10:14,573
Speaker 3: keep all that stuff? So that was all that Today.

226
00:10:16,132 --> 00:10:18,733
Speaker 7: If you visit the Tower of London, there is the

227
00:10:18,852 --> 00:10:22,053
Speaker 7: jewel House where all the Crown jewels are on public display.

228
00:10:22,852 --> 00:10:26,252
Speaker 7: It's magnificently done. When I was very young, I were

229
00:10:26,252 --> 00:10:27,732
Speaker 7: a just and one round tower.

230
00:10:27,813 --> 00:10:28,412
Speaker 1: The whole lot of.

231
00:10:30,372 --> 00:10:32,693
Speaker 7: You know, they were grilled in. Now you can walk

232
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:35,293
Speaker 7: into the jewel House. It's all done in the darkness

233
00:10:35,693 --> 00:10:38,853
Speaker 7: and you can walk through with all the symbols. It's

234
00:10:38,892 --> 00:10:41,773
Speaker 7: magnificent and you go on a moving platform.

235
00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:41,933
Speaker 3: Through it all.

236
00:10:42,612 --> 00:10:46,372
Speaker 7: And the first Crown jewels. Of course, we're largely destroyed

237
00:10:46,372 --> 00:10:49,733
Speaker 7: by Oliver Cromwell, and there is a special tower where

238
00:10:49,773 --> 00:10:52,333
Speaker 7: all the old crowns are kept without the jewels in them,

239
00:10:52,612 --> 00:10:55,132
Speaker 7: right through the sentries. Cromwell didn't melt them all down,

240
00:10:55,612 --> 00:10:59,653
Speaker 7: but the largely the present Saint Edward's crown was all

241
00:10:59,693 --> 00:11:02,933
Speaker 7: done for the restoration of King Charles the Second and

242
00:11:03,213 --> 00:11:06,893
Speaker 7: it's magnificent. It's a symbol as part of my psychic

243
00:11:07,213 --> 00:11:09,293
Speaker 7: and my life, and I think a lot of people

244
00:11:09,372 --> 00:11:11,453
Speaker 7: in New Zealand are deeply impressed when they go and

245
00:11:11,492 --> 00:11:14,093
Speaker 7: see it. It's a symbol of a thousand years of

246
00:11:14,213 --> 00:11:17,852
Speaker 7: history and the coronation I thought this year last year

247
00:11:17,892 --> 00:11:20,933
Speaker 7: when it was done, was just magnificent. It was beautifully done.

248
00:11:21,012 --> 00:11:24,453
Speaker 7: There were all the different elements and the communities in

249
00:11:24,492 --> 00:11:27,252
Speaker 7: Britain that have made up Britain. Britain has been one

250
00:11:27,293 --> 00:11:30,012
Speaker 7: of the few countries in the world that has accepted

251
00:11:30,053 --> 00:11:33,772
Speaker 7: people from all walks and ethnicities into it when it

252
00:11:33,773 --> 00:11:36,892
Speaker 7: has been shocking horrors in the different countries. Now, I

253
00:11:36,933 --> 00:11:39,733
Speaker 7: think the king is doing an outstanding job. And when

254
00:11:39,732 --> 00:11:42,773
Speaker 7: people talk about the constitutional monarchy, the day to day

255
00:11:42,892 --> 00:11:46,772
Speaker 7: running of the country is in the elected people's representatives,

256
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:49,093
Speaker 7: the Prime Minister and the government. But if the one

257
00:11:49,173 --> 00:11:52,213
Speaker 7: power that the king maintains is that if there is

258
00:11:52,252 --> 00:11:55,932
Speaker 7: a constitutional crisis in the country, the King has the

259
00:11:56,053 --> 00:11:58,773
Speaker 7: right to dissolve Parliament and call for a general election.

260
00:11:59,413 --> 00:12:01,532
Speaker 7: So I think that the symbols of the royal family

261
00:12:01,813 --> 00:12:05,892
Speaker 7: and what they do in the workaday life is quite outstanding.

262
00:12:06,012 --> 00:12:07,973
Speaker 7: And as head of the Commonwealth, I mean many of

263
00:12:08,012 --> 00:12:13,093
Speaker 7: the media people disparage the Commonwealth, but it provides scholarships

264
00:12:13,132 --> 00:12:16,333
Speaker 7: for young people to travel in between the different countries.

265
00:12:17,213 --> 00:12:21,652
Speaker 7: It's outstanding organization. I think a little bit speaking less

266
00:12:22,132 --> 00:12:25,813
Speaker 7: generally about things in a slightly disparaging way, and look

267
00:12:25,852 --> 00:12:28,372
Speaker 7: at the history and what it means. We're very lucky

268
00:12:28,372 --> 00:12:31,933
Speaker 7: in New Zealand because we have we're a constitutional monarchy

269
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:37,252
Speaker 7: as our Canada, Australia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands.

270
00:12:37,252 --> 00:12:40,573
Speaker 7: He's king of all those countries and they choose, they

271
00:12:40,653 --> 00:12:41,733
Speaker 7: choose to have the king.

272
00:12:42,413 --> 00:12:45,333
Speaker 3: Now, Richard, you said before that thank you for that,

273
00:12:45,333 --> 00:12:48,733
Speaker 3: that rundown and well well put by you. When you

274
00:12:48,773 --> 00:12:51,093
Speaker 3: said that you had traveled a little bit with members

275
00:12:51,093 --> 00:12:53,413
Speaker 3: of the royal family. What era was that? What what

276
00:12:53,533 --> 00:12:57,093
Speaker 3: members of the royal family were you working around.

277
00:12:57,093 --> 00:13:01,772
Speaker 7: President, King, Prince Michael of Kent. Yeah, quite a few

278
00:13:01,773 --> 00:13:03,133
Speaker 7: of them with them.

279
00:13:03,213 --> 00:13:06,293
Speaker 3: So with Charles, did you say, yes.

280
00:13:06,093 --> 00:13:08,213
Speaker 7: Yes, indeed when he was Prince of Wales.

281
00:13:08,612 --> 00:13:10,813
Speaker 3: What sort of era was that?

282
00:13:10,813 --> 00:13:13,933
Speaker 7: That would be the nineteen eighties, nineteen nineties.

283
00:13:14,293 --> 00:13:16,213
Speaker 3: And did you see him in a sort of a

284
00:13:16,252 --> 00:13:19,213
Speaker 3: casual way, did you see what kind of person he was.

285
00:13:20,252 --> 00:13:23,052
Speaker 7: I saw how he reacts to people and how they

286
00:13:23,132 --> 00:13:26,413
Speaker 7: react to him, and he's quite outstanding in the way

287
00:13:26,533 --> 00:13:30,372
Speaker 7: he remembers people. He is trying to put his own

288
00:13:30,492 --> 00:13:34,612
Speaker 7: stamp on the monarchy. Every monic changes, but puts their

289
00:13:34,653 --> 00:13:37,852
Speaker 7: own stamp on his monarchy. I don't like the word

290
00:13:37,973 --> 00:13:40,453
Speaker 7: change at all. I think that's silly, because you know,

291
00:13:40,573 --> 00:13:43,373
Speaker 7: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And he I

292
00:13:43,492 --> 00:13:47,253
Speaker 7: prefer the word evolving. The monarchy evolves to suit. The

293
00:13:47,333 --> 00:13:51,173
Speaker 7: time the United Nations did a servero the ten most

294
00:13:51,173 --> 00:13:53,733
Speaker 7: stable countries in the world, and the first seven of

295
00:13:53,773 --> 00:13:55,413
Speaker 7: them were constitutional monarchies.

296
00:13:55,732 --> 00:13:58,373
Speaker 3: Now, Richard, what do you say to people like Tyler

297
00:13:58,413 --> 00:14:01,852
Speaker 3: here who said he thinks Charles is a bit weird

298
00:14:02,053 --> 00:14:02,612
Speaker 3: but strange.

299
00:14:02,693 --> 00:14:05,453
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I think that's a bit silly. Really, I

300
00:14:05,453 --> 00:14:07,973
Speaker 7: don't thinking things strange about him. He's not strange than

301
00:14:08,333 --> 00:14:11,973
Speaker 7: many other people. In fact, he's well educated. He's up

302
00:14:11,973 --> 00:14:16,133
Speaker 7: with music as charities. When he founded the Prince's Trust,

303
00:14:16,413 --> 00:14:19,093
Speaker 7: of which he has a number of very distinguished people on,

304
00:14:19,173 --> 00:14:24,053
Speaker 7: including David Beckham, to Stephen Frye and various other people.

305
00:14:24,253 --> 00:14:27,133
Speaker 7: They have put over half a million young people into

306
00:14:27,213 --> 00:14:30,213
Speaker 7: work and provided future careers for them, and many of

307
00:14:30,253 --> 00:14:34,373
Speaker 7: them were just Dropouts's we should look at the positive

308
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,933
Speaker 7: things and not worry about the Princess of Wales clothes

309
00:14:37,053 --> 00:14:40,453
Speaker 7: or anything stupid and women's weaklies. We should look at

310
00:14:40,453 --> 00:14:43,533
Speaker 7: the constitutional monarchy as they provides to us.

311
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:43,693
Speaker 1: Well.

312
00:14:43,933 --> 00:14:46,533
Speaker 2: I like your philosophy, Ratcherd, but the truth of the

313
00:14:46,573 --> 00:14:49,253
Speaker 2: matter is how do you stay relevant to Let's call

314
00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:52,373
Speaker 2: the common people the hoy peloy, because that is how

315
00:14:52,373 --> 00:14:54,933
Speaker 2: you stay relevant, right And I understand that there are

316
00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:58,893
Speaker 2: traditions that need to be kept in place and honor

317
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:01,293
Speaker 2: that needs to be respected there. But if you're going

318
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:03,853
Speaker 2: to stay relevant with the common people, you need to

319
00:15:04,053 --> 00:15:06,453
Speaker 2: attach yourself to things. They're interested in it, and they

320
00:15:06,493 --> 00:15:07,973
Speaker 2: are interested in industries.

321
00:15:08,733 --> 00:15:11,773
Speaker 7: I think that the king does do that. I don't

322
00:15:11,853 --> 00:15:14,813
Speaker 7: like the word hoipoloy and common people. Just put the

323
00:15:14,853 --> 00:15:18,373
Speaker 7: citizens of a country. He remains relevant and if the

324
00:15:18,373 --> 00:15:21,373
Speaker 7: citizens of those countries don't want him, then they can

325
00:15:21,413 --> 00:15:24,413
Speaker 7: call for a referendum and the monarch and could be ambolished.

326
00:15:24,773 --> 00:15:27,453
Speaker 3: But I guess the citizens Richard of the country. Some

327
00:15:27,493 --> 00:15:30,532
Speaker 3: of those citizens are I guess what we're talking about here.

328
00:15:30,613 --> 00:15:32,373
Speaker 3: Some of the citizens of the country are very interested

329
00:15:32,413 --> 00:15:36,013
Speaker 3: in what Cape Middleton wears. And that's part of being democracy,

330
00:15:36,053 --> 00:15:38,133
Speaker 3: that's the part, that's the way they want to engage

331
00:15:38,213 --> 00:15:39,053
Speaker 3: with the royal family.

332
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:41,773
Speaker 7: That yeah, well that's very true. But I think to

333
00:15:41,893 --> 00:15:45,533
Speaker 7: sort of trivialize things about the royal families out actually

334
00:15:45,533 --> 00:15:49,253
Speaker 7: looking at their constitutional duties and what they do is

335
00:15:49,373 --> 00:15:52,373
Speaker 7: I think a bit su of mischief making for just

336
00:15:52,373 --> 00:15:53,133
Speaker 7: for the sake of it.

337
00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:56,412
Speaker 3: Really, thank you so much for your call. Richard really

338
00:15:56,413 --> 00:15:57,053
Speaker 3: appreciates that.

339
00:15:57,253 --> 00:16:00,013
Speaker 2: Take that that we call it a start. Yeah, and look,

340
00:16:00,053 --> 00:16:02,533
Speaker 2: I understand what rich is saying about those traditions that

341
00:16:02,653 --> 00:16:05,613
Speaker 2: must be honored and kept respectful. But if you are

342
00:16:05,653 --> 00:16:09,293
Speaker 2: not interesting to the common people, not commoner, I'm part

343
00:16:09,293 --> 00:16:12,053
Speaker 2: of the Hoy paloy. If you don't, if you're not

344
00:16:12,093 --> 00:16:15,133
Speaker 2: interesting to most of the population, then you're irrelevant.

345
00:16:15,413 --> 00:16:17,613
Speaker 3: Thisson, here's this text said that fellow put you in

346
00:16:17,653 --> 00:16:20,613
Speaker 3: your place. The coronation was outstanding. Listen, Pauline, I was

347
00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:22,893
Speaker 3: the one that said the coronation was outspanding. I thought

348
00:16:22,893 --> 00:16:24,933
Speaker 3: it was excellent. I thought it was so cool with

349
00:16:24,973 --> 00:16:27,053
Speaker 3: all that stuff they whipped out, and the shower curtain

350
00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:31,573
Speaker 3: and he went behind and all the protocols. I love that.

351
00:16:31,733 --> 00:16:34,493
Speaker 3: I love that that was waiting for that time for

352
00:16:34,613 --> 00:16:36,613
Speaker 3: him to do it, and they wheeled all the stuff out.

353
00:16:36,693 --> 00:16:38,053
Speaker 3: It was I thought it was incredible.

354
00:16:38,173 --> 00:16:40,373
Speaker 2: Nicely said, but you keep telling them, Pauline, don't let

355
00:16:40,453 --> 00:16:43,293
Speaker 2: him off the hook. Going one hundred eighty eighty is

356
00:16:43,373 --> 00:16:45,292
Speaker 2: the number to call. Nine two ninety two is the

357
00:16:45,333 --> 00:16:45,893
Speaker 2: text number.

358
00:16:45,933 --> 00:16:46,533
Speaker 3: Richard was great.

359
00:16:46,653 --> 00:16:47,052
Speaker 4: He was.

360
00:16:48,773 --> 00:16:53,213
Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the Mike asking breakfast.

361
00:16:52,733 --> 00:16:55,253
Speaker 8: Nadia from the Broadcasting Minister who has some thoughts around

362
00:16:55,253 --> 00:16:57,813
Speaker 8: the screen and television sector. Big streamers like Netflix got

363
00:16:57,813 --> 00:17:00,893
Speaker 8: to support more allegedly local content South Pacific Pictures in

364
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:02,133
Speaker 8: the Andrew Sustemans with.

365
00:17:02,173 --> 00:17:04,532
Speaker 3: USTA I actually said, the recommendations that came out of

366
00:17:04,653 --> 00:17:07,213
Speaker 3: NCACH are pretty on the money good. So that's encouraging.

367
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:09,133
Speaker 8: It's just I'm going back to this business of the

368
00:17:09,173 --> 00:17:12,532
Speaker 8: news Google paying for stuff, and they just don't seem

369
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:14,173
Speaker 8: to have an urgency about them.

370
00:17:14,173 --> 00:17:16,653
Speaker 1: You see something different, here's idea.

371
00:17:16,933 --> 00:17:18,973
Speaker 6: It's difficult, you know, they're just all bargaining act as

372
00:17:18,973 --> 00:17:19,813
Speaker 6: a whole front Kiddler.

373
00:17:19,893 --> 00:17:22,973
Speaker 7: First, there are similarities to audiences are migrating to spreending

374
00:17:23,013 --> 00:17:25,733
Speaker 7: platforms with great content and local content.

375
00:17:25,773 --> 00:17:27,453
Speaker 6: Players are getting this out of the play.

376
00:17:27,693 --> 00:17:30,493
Speaker 8: Back Tomorrow at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with

377
00:17:30,573 --> 00:17:32,773
Speaker 8: Baby's Real Estate News Talk ZB.

378
00:17:33,493 --> 00:17:36,893
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, it is twenty seven past one and we're

379
00:17:36,933 --> 00:17:39,733
Speaker 2: asking about the Royal family. Are they still relevant or

380
00:17:39,733 --> 00:17:43,253
Speaker 2: do they still carry influence for people around the world

381
00:17:43,333 --> 00:17:46,773
Speaker 2: and particularly here in New Zealands. A lot of fans

382
00:17:46,813 --> 00:17:50,413
Speaker 2: of Richard, our previous caller, excellent caller, Richard for Prime Minister.

383
00:17:51,733 --> 00:17:54,333
Speaker 2: He certainly was a big fan of the royal family

384
00:17:54,493 --> 00:17:57,052
Speaker 2: and the decorum and traditions of the Royal family.

385
00:17:57,173 --> 00:17:59,133
Speaker 3: And look at this text. I like this one. Matt.

386
00:17:59,453 --> 00:18:02,733
Speaker 3: I'm liking you more, especially after your kind comments about

387
00:18:02,733 --> 00:18:03,093
Speaker 3: the Queen.

388
00:18:03,253 --> 00:18:03,893
Speaker 1: You say.

389
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:08,333
Speaker 3: Love the Queen. Diane, welcome to the show. Your thoughts

390
00:18:08,453 --> 00:18:10,973
Speaker 3: on the Royal family and Cape Middleton.

391
00:18:10,853 --> 00:18:13,733
Speaker 9: Him, Matt and Thailand. Now Thilert, you should get out

392
00:18:13,813 --> 00:18:18,453
Speaker 9: and about more. I've had two lovely conversations with Prince

393
00:18:18,533 --> 00:18:21,052
Speaker 9: Charles when it was Prince Charles and that, and I

394
00:18:21,093 --> 00:18:25,293
Speaker 9: have when he was playing polo in Australia and then

395
00:18:25,373 --> 00:18:30,773
Speaker 9: another time when he came to the Opera House, Prince William.

396
00:18:31,173 --> 00:18:34,053
Speaker 9: He's I've chatted to him twice too when he came

397
00:18:34,093 --> 00:18:37,693
Speaker 9: over here and that, and they actually sent me a

398
00:18:37,733 --> 00:18:41,173
Speaker 9: wedding photo of them, did they, Yes? And that was

399
00:18:41,213 --> 00:18:43,333
Speaker 9: after the airlines lost all my luggage with all my

400
00:18:43,653 --> 00:18:47,613
Speaker 9: royal souvenirs because I was over there when he got

401
00:18:47,613 --> 00:18:50,213
Speaker 9: married and that, and when the Queen's mother died. I

402
00:18:50,333 --> 00:18:52,293
Speaker 9: just happened to be in the UK at the time.

403
00:18:53,053 --> 00:18:55,333
Speaker 9: And that's so nice. I think we saw, you.

404
00:18:55,293 --> 00:18:57,933
Speaker 3: Know, Diane, did you give any of that stuff back?

405
00:18:58,093 --> 00:18:58,773
Speaker 3: Was it lost? Forever?

406
00:18:59,653 --> 00:19:05,293
Speaker 9: Lost forever? It was the whole case ful, you know,

407
00:19:06,893 --> 00:19:08,493
Speaker 9: it was U.

408
00:19:10,413 --> 00:19:10,453
Speaker 10: No.

409
00:19:10,773 --> 00:19:16,813
Speaker 9: I had, you know, the official program, yes, Prince William's

410
00:19:16,813 --> 00:19:19,853
Speaker 9: wedding and you know, some souvenirforts and that, but it

411
00:19:19,893 --> 00:19:22,933
Speaker 9: was in the secure area at Los Angeles Airport and

412
00:19:22,973 --> 00:19:25,893
Speaker 9: they couldn't find it and that, so I thought we'll

413
00:19:25,933 --> 00:19:29,293
Speaker 9: have just one get the copy of the official program.

414
00:19:29,373 --> 00:19:31,933
Speaker 9: That's so I just, you know, penned a letter to

415
00:19:32,413 --> 00:19:36,533
Speaker 9: Prince William and that in the secretary reply and said,

416
00:19:37,093 --> 00:19:39,893
Speaker 9: Prince William and Catherine would like you to have this photograph.

417
00:19:39,973 --> 00:19:42,773
Speaker 9: So I've got that frame and Pride price in my lounge.

418
00:19:43,373 --> 00:19:47,013
Speaker 9: But I thought Tyler would have been into the royal family.

419
00:19:47,213 --> 00:19:49,093
Speaker 9: You know, as I said, he's got to get out more.

420
00:19:49,213 --> 00:19:51,893
Speaker 3: You know, the only member the Royal family that Tyler likes,

421
00:19:52,133 --> 00:19:53,893
Speaker 3: Diane is Harry Hey.

422
00:19:54,693 --> 00:19:59,333
Speaker 2: Wrong, he's put my bottom drawer now I didn't have.

423
00:20:00,693 --> 00:20:02,493
Speaker 2: He's not on thelf anymore.

424
00:20:02,573 --> 00:20:07,093
Speaker 9: No, No, he's related to the He's down on the

425
00:20:07,093 --> 00:20:09,813
Speaker 9: bottom drawer now after his behavior and all that which

426
00:20:09,853 --> 00:20:14,933
Speaker 9: I think was discussing. And I actually borrowed the book

427
00:20:14,973 --> 00:20:18,013
Speaker 9: from the library on sphere and I've never read so

428
00:20:18,173 --> 00:20:19,733
Speaker 9: much garbage in all my life.

429
00:20:20,653 --> 00:20:22,173
Speaker 3: This is my problem with Harry, and I know everyone

430
00:20:22,213 --> 00:20:25,413
Speaker 3: said it. He's complaining, he's taking the tabloids to court,

431
00:20:25,493 --> 00:20:29,213
Speaker 3: he's asking for his privacy whilst writing a book revealing

432
00:20:29,493 --> 00:20:32,853
Speaker 3: the most sordid and private details about other members of

433
00:20:32,853 --> 00:20:36,853
Speaker 3: his family. That way I mean that is that was discussing.

434
00:20:36,893 --> 00:20:40,013
Speaker 3: Completely hypocritical from Harry. Shoot him into the sun, I say.

435
00:20:39,973 --> 00:20:43,973
Speaker 9: Yeah, But the members of the Royal family like see

436
00:20:44,013 --> 00:20:47,973
Speaker 9: I actually spoken to well, it was the Queen's press

437
00:20:48,013 --> 00:20:50,853
Speaker 9: secretary when he came out to Australia and they left

438
00:20:50,893 --> 00:20:53,853
Speaker 9: some stuff behind at Government House when I was found.

439
00:20:53,653 --> 00:20:55,093
Speaker 11: There, and that's so.

440
00:20:56,133 --> 00:20:58,653
Speaker 9: No, I've met the Duke of Canton.

441
00:20:59,293 --> 00:21:03,573
Speaker 3: Who's your favorite right now, Dane.

442
00:21:03,093 --> 00:21:07,533
Speaker 9: Well, I like all the one setter in the front now,

443
00:21:07,733 --> 00:21:12,973
Speaker 9: like Andrew, he's out and that. But I think William

444
00:21:13,013 --> 00:21:15,533
Speaker 9: and Catherine will be good when they do it. And

445
00:21:15,933 --> 00:21:17,973
Speaker 9: I feel a bit sorry for a prince I'm in

446
00:21:18,053 --> 00:21:21,453
Speaker 9: King Charles because he doesn't look well really and that

447
00:21:21,693 --> 00:21:24,973
Speaker 9: and that. But now I've been to most of the

448
00:21:25,053 --> 00:21:27,213
Speaker 9: royal residents.

449
00:21:26,373 --> 00:21:28,333
Speaker 2: Very nice, and that's so.

450
00:21:28,573 --> 00:21:28,813
Speaker 12: You know.

451
00:21:29,133 --> 00:21:31,573
Speaker 2: I like Catherine, Diane, I like Catherine.

452
00:21:31,853 --> 00:21:34,533
Speaker 9: Yeah, she's lovely. I've got some beautiful photos of her

453
00:21:35,333 --> 00:21:37,213
Speaker 9: with the father and the car going to the wedding

454
00:21:37,293 --> 00:21:41,293
Speaker 9: and when they came back and and that. So now

509
00:24:25,213 --> 00:24:28,453
Speaker 2: the influence and relevancy of the royal family.

510
00:24:29,613 --> 00:24:32,173
Speaker 3: This is on the back of a story where Kate

511
00:24:32,253 --> 00:24:35,333
Speaker 3: Middleton's people said that they weren't going to publish what

512
00:24:35,493 --> 00:24:37,053
Speaker 3: dresses she was wearing when she was out and about.

513
00:24:37,053 --> 00:24:39,333
Speaker 3: They've kind of walked that back a little bit since then,

514
00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:43,693
Speaker 3: but it just struck me. Do people still care about

515
00:24:43,733 --> 00:24:46,093
Speaker 3: what Princess Kate Kate wears?

516
00:24:46,533 --> 00:24:51,333
Speaker 2: Well, according to our text machine, absolutely they do. Jane's

517
00:24:51,373 --> 00:24:54,453
Speaker 2: not very happy. Did I say this? She is no

518
00:24:54,533 --> 00:24:58,532
Speaker 2: longer Kate Middleton? She is Kate Windsor would you like

519
00:24:58,613 --> 00:25:01,733
Speaker 2: your wife to be referred to by her maiden name?

520
00:25:01,773 --> 00:25:03,213
Speaker 2: From Jane fair Point?

521
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:05,653
Speaker 3: K Fairpoint? Get it right, Tyler gees, even though I

522
00:25:05,693 --> 00:25:07,813
Speaker 3: just got it wrong seconds ago. So before the break,

523
00:25:07,853 --> 00:25:11,373
Speaker 3: I asked the question, how rich is the Royal family

524
00:25:11,653 --> 00:25:16,533
Speaker 3: in total? Across all of them they combined wealth of assets?

525
00:25:16,853 --> 00:25:18,493
Speaker 2: I said, fifty billion dollars.

526
00:25:18,613 --> 00:25:22,013
Speaker 3: We've got a thirty billion in the in the in

527
00:25:22,053 --> 00:25:24,613
Speaker 3: the text of ninety two, we've got four hundred billion. Here,

528
00:25:24,693 --> 00:25:27,853
Speaker 3: we've got seven hundred billion. Boy, they really rate them.

529
00:25:28,453 --> 00:25:31,213
Speaker 3: We've got twenty billion. We've got a crap load. We've

530
00:25:31,213 --> 00:25:34,413
Speaker 3: got five hundred billion, got one point eight billion The

531
00:25:34,493 --> 00:25:39,933
Speaker 3: answer is twenty eight billion dollars, so six percent of

532
00:25:39,933 --> 00:25:42,093
Speaker 3: what Elon Musk is worth. The entire Row family.

533
00:25:42,053 --> 00:25:43,333
Speaker 2: Still a lot of money, though, want know it's.

534
00:25:43,213 --> 00:25:44,693
Speaker 3: A lot of money. A lot of that has wound

535
00:25:44,773 --> 00:25:46,933
Speaker 3: up in castles, I guess and landrovers.

536
00:25:47,493 --> 00:25:52,292
Speaker 2: Harry get he wants a slice of that? Yeah, Oh,

537
00:25:52,293 --> 00:25:54,653
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

538
00:25:54,813 --> 00:25:56,933
Speaker 2: Are you still a massive fan of the Royals even

539
00:25:56,973 --> 00:25:59,653
Speaker 2: though they've kind of dropped off the headlines in recent times?

540
00:25:59,733 --> 00:26:02,333
Speaker 2: Love to hear from you, Bob, How are you.

541
00:26:04,053 --> 00:26:05,213
Speaker 6: Great man? How are you doing it?

542
00:26:05,533 --> 00:26:05,813
Speaker 2: God?

543
00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:07,413
Speaker 3: I understand you're a Harry fan.

544
00:26:09,693 --> 00:26:14,053
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've wanted the chapter math more than anything. He's

545
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:21,653
Speaker 6: sitting back there saying that he hates Harry. I find

546
00:26:21,693 --> 00:26:25,133
Speaker 6: that hard to understand. What don't you like about him?

547
00:26:25,333 --> 00:26:27,973
Speaker 3: Okay, well, what I don't like about Harry is that

548
00:26:28,533 --> 00:26:31,853
Speaker 3: he is taking tabloids to court. He's complaining about things.

549
00:26:31,893 --> 00:26:35,293
Speaker 3: He's asking for freedom, he's doing for privacy. He's doing

550
00:26:35,333 --> 00:26:37,853
Speaker 3: the Privacy World Tour at the same time when he

551
00:26:37,893 --> 00:26:39,573
Speaker 3: was asking for that. He took a huge amount of

552
00:26:39,613 --> 00:26:42,052
Speaker 3: money to write his book Spear, where he revealed some

553
00:26:42,093 --> 00:26:46,693
Speaker 3: really intimate secrets and basically run the full tabloid on

554
00:26:46,733 --> 00:26:50,093
Speaker 3: his own family, which I just found absolutely disgusting. You

555
00:26:50,133 --> 00:26:52,893
Speaker 3: can't the two things can't be the same. You can't

556
00:26:52,893 --> 00:26:55,293
Speaker 3: hold the two things that you want privacy yourself. But

557
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:59,173
Speaker 3: you're willing to just make money revealing all the secrets

558
00:26:59,373 --> 00:27:00,052
Speaker 3: of your family.

559
00:27:01,693 --> 00:27:04,973
Speaker 6: Well, do you believe that the people that were supposed

560
00:27:05,013 --> 00:27:09,173
Speaker 6: to play homage to you, but all these luridy details,

561
00:27:09,413 --> 00:27:12,893
Speaker 6: the word you chose lew it should be hidden away

562
00:27:13,653 --> 00:27:16,973
Speaker 6: and might be shown to the people who pay homage

563
00:27:17,053 --> 00:27:17,453
Speaker 6: to them.

564
00:27:18,533 --> 00:27:21,293
Speaker 5: What you expect, Well, I would, I would be pretty young.

565
00:27:21,413 --> 00:27:23,373
Speaker 3: I'd be pretty angry if one of my sisters wrote

566
00:27:23,373 --> 00:27:25,213
Speaker 3: a tell all book and revealed a bunch of stuff

567
00:27:25,253 --> 00:27:27,572
Speaker 3: about my other sisters to everyone, I probably wouldn't talk

568
00:27:27,613 --> 00:27:30,493
Speaker 3: to them after that. Whether whether they're whether you know,

569
00:27:30,533 --> 00:27:33,773
Speaker 3: you're a celebrity family or you're a royal family, or

570
00:27:33,853 --> 00:27:37,053
Speaker 3: well known or not well known. I think there's a

571
00:27:37,133 --> 00:27:39,973
Speaker 3: huge amount of betrayal if you share secrets that other

572
00:27:40,013 --> 00:27:42,373
Speaker 3: people in your family don't want other people to know.

573
00:27:43,933 --> 00:27:46,253
Speaker 6: Well, in that case, you should have a reveal both

574
00:27:46,333 --> 00:27:49,173
Speaker 6: secrets the people you don't want to share them.

575
00:27:49,613 --> 00:27:53,813
Speaker 3: But well, Harry Harry. Harry observed things and shared them.

576
00:27:53,933 --> 00:27:57,693
Speaker 3: It wasn't necessarily things that had been shared with him.

577
00:27:57,773 --> 00:28:01,532
Speaker 3: He just he just aired the dirty laundry of his

578
00:28:01,653 --> 00:28:04,573
Speaker 3: family for money. Is really my problem with him.

579
00:28:05,413 --> 00:28:08,013
Speaker 6: I don't think that's the case at all, And I

580
00:28:08,053 --> 00:28:11,572
Speaker 6: am you take him the task about the fact that

581
00:28:11,613 --> 00:28:15,933
Speaker 6: he had your audacity to take the tabloid press to

582
00:28:16,093 --> 00:28:19,893
Speaker 6: court when they treated him and his wife the way

583
00:28:19,933 --> 00:28:23,733
Speaker 6: they did, and he was proved to be correct and

584
00:28:23,773 --> 00:28:25,253
Speaker 6: got played accordingly.

585
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:29,053
Speaker 3: Okay, But but what all I'm saying is, sure, take

586
00:28:29,093 --> 00:28:33,653
Speaker 3: the tabloid press to court for invasions of your privacy,

587
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:35,493
Speaker 3: But if at the same time you're taking a whole

588
00:28:35,493 --> 00:28:38,813
Speaker 3: lot of money to invade other members of your family's privacy,

589
00:28:38,893 --> 00:28:41,493
Speaker 3: it seems like a bit of a hollow move, doesn't it.

590
00:28:41,493 --> 00:28:44,653
Speaker 3: It seems like your moral compass might not be as

591
00:28:45,493 --> 00:28:48,013
Speaker 3: at pointing as north as you it should be. That's

592
00:28:48,013 --> 00:28:48,573
Speaker 3: my point.

593
00:28:49,933 --> 00:28:53,693
Speaker 6: I think he got badly treated in that royal so

594
00:28:53,973 --> 00:28:57,773
Speaker 6: called royal family. To me, the whole royal family died

595
00:28:57,853 --> 00:29:00,373
Speaker 6: when the queen died. The rest of them are just

596
00:29:00,453 --> 00:29:06,373
Speaker 6: sitting there making money from those who look at them

597
00:29:06,413 --> 00:29:08,973
Speaker 6: and say they're wonderful people, and I believe they.

598
00:29:08,973 --> 00:29:11,693
Speaker 3: Are totally Hang on a minute, so you're anti the

599
00:29:11,733 --> 00:29:14,333
Speaker 3: royal family, but so just just Harry and.

600
00:29:14,253 --> 00:29:19,493
Speaker 6: Me, where where that money comes from?

601
00:29:19,573 --> 00:29:24,373
Speaker 3: That they've got wow lands, you know, ancestry.

602
00:29:24,893 --> 00:29:27,533
Speaker 6: Why where do they get the land from?

603
00:29:28,253 --> 00:29:32,533
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, well yeah, I mean taken in in

604
00:29:32,573 --> 00:29:35,173
Speaker 3: the past. They're the royal family. They've got got their lands.

605
00:29:35,293 --> 00:29:37,093
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of the way it works, isn't.

606
00:29:36,893 --> 00:29:42,613
Speaker 6: It like putin where if you want some they go

607
00:29:42,653 --> 00:29:43,093
Speaker 6: and take it.

608
00:29:43,493 --> 00:29:46,133
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, like if I'm probably going to

609
00:29:46,173 --> 00:29:48,413
Speaker 3: give them. You know, when I die, my kids will

610
00:29:48,453 --> 00:29:51,533
Speaker 3: get my houses. I mean they're not bucking in palace,

611
00:29:51,653 --> 00:29:54,493
Speaker 3: but that it will go on to them, I would imagine.

612
00:29:55,213 --> 00:29:55,773
Speaker 3: Is that wrong?

613
00:29:57,813 --> 00:29:57,893
Speaker 1: Me?

614
00:29:58,053 --> 00:30:00,013
Speaker 6: I do the principle.

615
00:30:00,693 --> 00:30:03,333
Speaker 2: So you want to see to a republic, do you, Bob?

616
00:30:06,293 --> 00:30:08,853
Speaker 6: I don't think we could be any worse. Tell me,

617
00:30:09,373 --> 00:30:11,973
Speaker 6: tell me a couple of things that the world family

618
00:30:12,053 --> 00:30:18,733
Speaker 6: has done for you to see them? Well, well, you know,

619
00:30:18,733 --> 00:30:21,013
Speaker 6: it is the basis, it is the you know at

620
00:30:21,013 --> 00:30:23,973
Speaker 6: the end there, it's the basis of parliamentary system.

621
00:30:24,213 --> 00:30:27,333
Speaker 3: And you know they're the you know, we're in the

622
00:30:27,373 --> 00:30:30,813
Speaker 3: constitutional monarchy. The stuff that Richard was talking about before.

623
00:30:30,853 --> 00:30:33,573
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. I know from an English perspective, they

624
00:30:33,573 --> 00:30:36,413
Speaker 3: bring a lot of money around tourism. They've they've made

625
00:30:36,493 --> 00:30:39,853
Speaker 3: some good visits down here and and they bring a

626
00:30:39,853 --> 00:30:42,453
Speaker 3: lot of happiness to people. So I don't know they've

627
00:30:42,573 --> 00:30:45,493
Speaker 3: They definitely haven't done nothing. And that don't cost us anything.

628
00:30:45,813 --> 00:30:46,653
Speaker 3: Un it's they're visiting.

629
00:30:48,213 --> 00:30:50,213
Speaker 6: I disagree with you. They cost us all lot.

630
00:30:50,493 --> 00:30:51,653
Speaker 3: What do they cost us?

631
00:30:53,013 --> 00:30:57,533
Speaker 6: Well, there's money paid to the Commonwealth all part of that.

632
00:30:58,093 --> 00:31:00,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that'll be interesting to look that up. Actually,

633
00:31:00,693 --> 00:31:03,053
Speaker 3: do we pay it all for the royal family? Do

634
00:31:03,093 --> 00:31:05,213
Speaker 3: we contribute? I feel like they would be very controversial.

635
00:31:05,813 --> 00:31:08,093
Speaker 2: I think we The last time they did visit, we

636
00:31:09,133 --> 00:31:10,653
Speaker 2: contributed about a million bucks.

637
00:31:10,653 --> 00:31:13,253
Speaker 3: But when they visit, we paid we cough up when

638
00:31:13,253 --> 00:31:15,213
Speaker 3: they visit, I think for the security and such.

639
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:17,813
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, once upon a time, Bob, I would

640
00:31:17,813 --> 00:31:19,893
Speaker 2: have been in your camp what you're saying here, But

641
00:31:19,893 --> 00:31:22,573
Speaker 2: I've changed my tune. I think the modern royal family

642
00:31:22,653 --> 00:31:26,293
Speaker 2: is very different to the old English monarchy. That maybe

643
00:31:26,373 --> 00:31:29,613
Speaker 2: you know that hierarchy and class system obviously was a

644
00:31:29,613 --> 00:31:31,973
Speaker 2: lot different than it is today. Is that the monarchy

645
00:31:32,133 --> 00:31:36,133
Speaker 2: don't have any real constitutional power. They are figureheads, and

646
00:31:36,173 --> 00:31:39,293
Speaker 2: they are good figure heads for New Zealand for one,

647
00:31:39,373 --> 00:31:40,133
Speaker 2: and for the UK.

648
00:31:40,373 --> 00:31:42,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I think so much for you call Bob,

649
00:31:42,973 --> 00:31:45,733
Speaker 3: appreciate that you think Prince Andrew's a good figure hit

650
00:31:47,053 --> 00:31:48,293
Speaker 3: he's banishedished.

651
00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:50,093
Speaker 2: Well, just going back to Bob, I think I thought

652
00:31:50,133 --> 00:31:54,253
Speaker 2: Bob said that Queen Elizabeth was a good queen and

653
00:31:54,653 --> 00:31:59,373
Speaker 2: she was certainly the driving force behind she's dealing with

654
00:31:59,413 --> 00:32:00,733
Speaker 2: that the Harry and Meghan situation.

655
00:32:00,813 --> 00:32:04,173
Speaker 3: She's a once in a generation human being. The Queen,

656
00:32:04,333 --> 00:32:06,773
Speaker 3: how much she sacrificed in her life for what she

657
00:32:06,853 --> 00:32:09,893
Speaker 3: believed was right and to try and be what she

658
00:32:10,013 --> 00:32:16,333
Speaker 3: thought was the quintessential moral and sort of a a

659
00:32:16,613 --> 00:32:20,853
Speaker 3: personification of what she thought England should be and the

660
00:32:21,093 --> 00:32:23,893
Speaker 3: stable personification of what she thought England should be.

661
00:32:24,013 --> 00:32:26,573
Speaker 2: And it's an incredibly difficult job, right to be a queen.

662
00:32:26,613 --> 00:32:27,933
Speaker 2: But if you've got to change something, you get to

663
00:32:27,973 --> 00:32:28,213
Speaker 2: change it.

664
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:31,213
Speaker 3: From the insert, I'd say Britain, not England. There's a tendency,

665
00:32:31,213 --> 00:32:32,973
Speaker 3: says the text that are confused two issues. Some of

666
00:32:32,973 --> 00:32:36,013
Speaker 3: the individuals within the royal family may be far from

667
00:32:36,013 --> 00:32:38,693
Speaker 3: acceptable with their pavor, but the system of the monarchy

668
00:32:38,733 --> 00:32:41,653
Speaker 3: has huge benefits for democracy. See I mean that's a

669
00:32:41,693 --> 00:32:44,773
Speaker 3: very good point, isn't it. Any family, in any group

670
00:32:44,773 --> 00:32:46,893
Speaker 3: of people, you can pick out some people that are

671
00:32:47,693 --> 00:32:51,333
Speaker 3: less than exemplary. But like say, on this show, I'm

672
00:32:51,373 --> 00:32:57,133
Speaker 3: a moral paragon of moral virtue, whereas you're a you're

673
00:32:57,613 --> 00:32:59,813
Speaker 3: a sort of moral scumback. But you know that doesn't

674
00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:02,293
Speaker 3: mean that this whole show should be tired with the

675
00:33:02,373 --> 00:33:03,293
Speaker 3: way you behave.

676
00:33:03,293 --> 00:33:06,933
Speaker 2: Or maybe it should be eighty is a number to call.

677
00:33:07,253 --> 00:33:09,133
Speaker 2: It is a quarter. The two will take a few

678
00:33:09,133 --> 00:33:09,653
Speaker 2: more funk calls.

679
00:33:09,653 --> 00:33:15,453
Speaker 1: Shortly, your new home of afternoon Talk, Matt and Tyler

680
00:33:15,573 --> 00:33:19,333
Speaker 1: Afternoon with the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into

681
00:33:19,493 --> 00:33:23,493
Speaker 1: something special. Call eight News Talk said.

682
00:33:23,293 --> 00:33:26,173
Speaker 2: Be good afternoon. It is twelve to two.

683
00:33:26,293 --> 00:33:29,813
Speaker 3: We're talking about the royal family and whether you still

684
00:33:29,813 --> 00:33:32,213
Speaker 3: follow them, whether they're still relevant to you. What do

685
00:33:32,253 --> 00:33:35,533
Speaker 3: they mean to you? Jane, welcome to the show. You

686
00:33:35,533 --> 00:33:36,773
Speaker 3: want to talk about Harry's book.

687
00:33:37,533 --> 00:33:41,893
Speaker 11: Yes, you're saying that he has spilt the beans to

688
00:33:41,933 --> 00:33:44,893
Speaker 11: get money for himself. Well that's not right. If you

689
00:33:45,293 --> 00:33:48,413
Speaker 11: read the front of his book, all the proceeds of

690
00:33:48,533 --> 00:33:51,373
Speaker 11: his book for Sheer has gone to an orphanage. And

691
00:33:51,493 --> 00:33:55,413
Speaker 11: somewhere in Africa, Nigeria or somewhere like that, he gets

692
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,573
Speaker 11: nothing from the proceeds a minute.

693
00:33:57,373 --> 00:33:59,373
Speaker 3: I think I think he got hit. The book generated

694
00:33:59,373 --> 00:34:01,613
Speaker 3: twenty seven million and he gave one point five million

695
00:34:01,613 --> 00:34:02,933
Speaker 3: to charities my understanding, No.

696
00:34:03,173 --> 00:34:05,133
Speaker 11: I don't believe that.

697
00:34:05,093 --> 00:34:05,573
Speaker 3: That's what.

698
00:34:05,733 --> 00:34:08,013
Speaker 11: No, in the book it says the money from this

699
00:34:08,053 --> 00:34:10,212
Speaker 11: book goes to this wolfanage.

700
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:12,013
Speaker 3: Well, some of the money from the book went to

701
00:34:12,013 --> 00:34:15,453
Speaker 3: the orphanage, but most I mean, look good on on

702
00:34:15,493 --> 00:34:18,212
Speaker 3: one point five million is great for him to give

703
00:34:18,213 --> 00:34:21,573
Speaker 3: to charity. I appreciate that, but it's my understanding that

704
00:34:21,613 --> 00:34:23,773
Speaker 3: he made a good whack of cash for himself. But

705
00:34:23,853 --> 00:34:26,973
Speaker 3: even if all the money did go to charity, what

706
00:34:27,013 --> 00:34:30,333
Speaker 3: do you think about sharing the secrets of your family

707
00:34:30,373 --> 00:34:31,773
Speaker 3: that they don't want to share.

708
00:34:32,213 --> 00:34:36,853
Speaker 11: You guys just brought up about the traditional royalty. You know,

709
00:34:37,053 --> 00:34:40,213
Speaker 11: it's in the past. And here's Harry who's a young

710
00:34:40,253 --> 00:34:44,733
Speaker 11: modern man. He wants to break away from that traditional setup,

711
00:34:45,253 --> 00:34:49,252
Speaker 11: and so he does. He marries a modern woman, they

712
00:34:49,333 --> 00:34:54,453
Speaker 11: move to another country, and all he's got is, you know, criticism. Well,

713
00:34:54,493 --> 00:34:55,732
Speaker 11: I think he's done the right thing.

714
00:34:57,453 --> 00:34:57,973
Speaker 3: Yeah, but.

715
00:34:59,453 --> 00:35:02,053
Speaker 11: And he's trying to put his side of the story.

716
00:35:02,333 --> 00:35:04,333
Speaker 11: You know, we hear the other side of the story

717
00:35:04,413 --> 00:35:07,373
Speaker 11: from the media that's very biased towards Harry and Meghan.

718
00:35:08,373 --> 00:35:10,493
Speaker 11: He's just written the book to try and straighten out

719
00:35:11,173 --> 00:35:11,813
Speaker 11: the situation.

720
00:35:12,093 --> 00:35:14,613
Speaker 3: What do you think, Jane, of the the woman that

721
00:35:14,653 --> 00:35:16,732
Speaker 3: he gave so many details of that he lost his

722
00:35:16,813 --> 00:35:19,253
Speaker 3: virginity with. He gave so many details of her that

723
00:35:19,293 --> 00:35:22,733
Speaker 3: she was immediately outed by the press. That was surely

724
00:35:22,733 --> 00:35:25,413
Speaker 3: a breach of confidence. And he didn't.

725
00:35:25,133 --> 00:35:25,493
Speaker 5: Talk to me.

726
00:35:25,813 --> 00:35:27,652
Speaker 11: I don't know her name, and I've read the book,

727
00:35:27,733 --> 00:35:29,253
Speaker 11: so it didn't make any difference to me.

728
00:35:29,973 --> 00:35:32,413
Speaker 3: I talk about people about fifteen seconds to google and

729
00:35:32,453 --> 00:35:33,293
Speaker 3: find out who it was.

730
00:35:34,213 --> 00:35:37,253
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, how many how many other men in

731
00:35:37,333 --> 00:35:40,573
Speaker 11: the world have have done that and have had no criticism.

732
00:35:40,813 --> 00:35:42,653
Speaker 11: I mean, he's just out on a pedestal.

733
00:35:44,173 --> 00:35:46,893
Speaker 3: What about kiss and tell though, the rule that the

734
00:35:47,093 --> 00:35:48,933
Speaker 3: moral code of you never kiss and tell?

735
00:35:50,453 --> 00:35:54,573
Speaker 11: Well, this world is crazy at the moment. There's an

736
00:35:54,573 --> 00:35:56,853
Speaker 11: awful lot of other things going on beside to kiss

737
00:35:56,853 --> 00:36:00,373
Speaker 11: and tell. So who knows, But get off Harry's back,

738
00:36:00,453 --> 00:36:01,212
Speaker 11: That's all I say.

739
00:36:01,253 --> 00:36:09,013
Speaker 3: All right, shoot him into the same Come on, mate, on, Harry.

00:36:33,533 --> 00:36:34,253
Speaker 2: afternoon to you.

748
00:36:35,533 --> 00:36:37,573
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. You're visiting from the UK and

749
00:36:37,573 --> 00:36:40,333
Speaker 3: you're a fan of the Royals.

750
00:36:40,733 --> 00:36:44,093
Speaker 12: Yes, I am originally in New Zealander, but I've been

751
00:36:44,133 --> 00:36:47,933
Speaker 12: living in London now for nearly thirty years, so I've

752
00:36:47,933 --> 00:36:51,453
Speaker 12: become a greater fan since living there.

753
00:36:51,493 --> 00:36:52,093
Speaker 4: I think.

754
00:36:53,373 --> 00:36:56,013
Speaker 3: You've got one of those beautiful hybrid accents, Jan, You've

755
00:36:56,013 --> 00:36:58,533
Speaker 3: got one of those beautiful hybrid accents where just a

756
00:36:58,573 --> 00:37:00,212
Speaker 3: little bit of the British sprinkled on top.

757
00:37:00,253 --> 00:37:00,893
Speaker 6: I'm losing it.

758
00:37:02,813 --> 00:37:06,453
Speaker 12: I'm losing it through what'sapp Actually a New Zealand family

759
00:37:06,453 --> 00:37:09,413
Speaker 12: on it on a weekly basis, so sort of English

760
00:37:09,493 --> 00:37:12,613
Speaker 12: as I probably would like it. But anyway, but now

761
00:37:12,733 --> 00:37:18,133
Speaker 12: I think I think they've it's spart consistency and you

762
00:37:18,173 --> 00:37:22,652
Speaker 12: know where we have prime minister's presidents changing every three,

763
00:37:23,013 --> 00:37:27,733
Speaker 12: four or five years. I just think the as you know,

764
00:37:28,333 --> 00:37:31,333
Speaker 12: head of a constitution, I think they've got they do

765
00:37:31,493 --> 00:37:36,333
Speaker 12: bring quite a lot of great things to you know, London,

766
00:37:36,333 --> 00:37:39,693
Speaker 12: and hope hopefully it's still with a Commonwealth. Although you know,

767
00:37:39,733 --> 00:37:42,493
Speaker 12: I can understand, you know, the younger generation coming through

768
00:37:43,533 --> 00:37:46,692
Speaker 12: have you know, different views and different ideas. But I've

769
00:37:46,733 --> 00:37:51,173
Speaker 12: been really impressed what they had done. I think Charles

770
00:37:51,173 --> 00:37:55,413
Speaker 12: will stepped up the plate he got. He's got very

771
00:37:55,453 --> 00:37:59,853
Speaker 12: involved in lots of issues that you know, across the religions, environment,

772
00:38:01,853 --> 00:38:05,973
Speaker 12: many other things, agriculture. Just now, I was showing what.

773
00:38:06,013 --> 00:38:08,253
Speaker 3: You see Jen before about the consistency that is a

774
00:38:08,373 --> 00:38:09,893
Speaker 3: and I think that's why it's so shocking when the

775
00:38:09,973 --> 00:38:12,533
Speaker 3: Queen died because for most people the Queen had been

776
00:38:12,573 --> 00:38:16,013
Speaker 3: a consonant across our lives and a constant person like

777
00:38:16,173 --> 00:38:18,893
Speaker 3: not only was she there the whole time, she was

778
00:38:19,333 --> 00:38:21,613
Speaker 3: a paragon of virtue for the whole time as well.

779
00:38:21,653 --> 00:38:24,533
Speaker 3: It's something to look up to. So that was quite

780
00:38:24,533 --> 00:38:25,973
Speaker 3: something when she passed, wasn't it.

781
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:28,013
Speaker 1: Yeah.

782
00:38:28,373 --> 00:38:31,893
Speaker 12: I mean, while I went to see the flowers, I

783
00:38:31,933 --> 00:38:37,093
Speaker 12: saw a glimpse of the funeral cortege. But everyone that

784
00:38:37,253 --> 00:38:40,733
Speaker 12: I was aware of made a point of even watching

785
00:38:40,733 --> 00:38:46,172
Speaker 12: it on television or actually doing things. And London was

786
00:38:46,573 --> 00:38:49,373
Speaker 12: a buzz with a lot of Americans, a lot of

787
00:38:49,413 --> 00:38:53,653
Speaker 12: foreigners when she actually died, and I met quite a

788
00:38:53,653 --> 00:38:57,493
Speaker 12: few people who'd flown in, particularly from the State, and

789
00:38:57,573 --> 00:39:01,333
Speaker 12: for them also they saw her as a constant Ciga

790
00:39:01,373 --> 00:39:04,293
Speaker 12: as well. I do think that the new generation coming

791
00:39:04,333 --> 00:39:09,893
Speaker 12: through will bring different things, and also I think they're

792
00:39:09,933 --> 00:39:14,212
Speaker 12: great as patrons of charities. They've done so much more.

793
00:39:14,293 --> 00:39:18,652
Speaker 12: I mean, William is doing a lot with homelessness. I

794
00:39:18,653 --> 00:39:22,732
Speaker 12: think Committa's doing a lot with refuge and a lot

795
00:39:22,733 --> 00:39:23,493
Speaker 12: of different things.

796
00:39:23,493 --> 00:39:28,333
Speaker 3: So yeah, we've got to go, jan So we've run

797
00:39:28,373 --> 00:39:30,173
Speaker 3: out of time. But thank you so much. Thank you

798
00:39:30,173 --> 00:39:32,093
Speaker 3: so much for you Paul already. I really appreciate it.

799
00:39:32,293 --> 00:39:33,853
Speaker 3: The right way to finish the answer to the question,

800
00:39:33,933 --> 00:39:37,252
Speaker 3: do people still care? Well, listeners to our show really care.

801
00:39:37,293 --> 00:39:39,973
Speaker 3: This's been very a negative word about the Royal family

802
00:39:39,973 --> 00:39:40,493
Speaker 3: apart from.

803
00:39:40,333 --> 00:39:44,813
Speaker 2: Harry, hundreds and hundreds of text and controversial about Harry.

804
00:39:44,893 --> 00:39:47,333
Speaker 2: I'd say it's probably ninety percent Harry hate, ten percent

805
00:39:47,333 --> 00:39:51,253
Speaker 2: Harry love. Yeah, yeah, right, very good. After two o'clock.

Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two nine two.

818
00:40:26,733 --> 00:40:29,413
Speaker 3: When you say I'd like to hear from a florist, actually, yeah,

819
00:40:29,613 --> 00:40:31,413
Speaker 3: give us a ring for your florists. You're busy? Is

820
00:40:31,453 --> 00:40:33,333
Speaker 3: it as busy as usual? It just feels like it's

821
00:40:33,453 --> 00:40:35,213
Speaker 3: not the same thing. I'm wondering if i have to

822
00:40:35,253 --> 00:40:38,413
Speaker 3: do anything but tomorrow. I've get the feeling that, as

823
00:40:38,453 --> 00:40:40,933
Speaker 3: I was saying before, I've got some tickets for the

824
00:40:41,013 --> 00:40:43,813
Speaker 3: rugby on Saturday Chief Soursss Blues at Edon Park.

825
00:40:43,933 --> 00:40:45,893
Speaker 2: So I at the start of the season, that is

826
00:40:46,053 --> 00:40:47,453
Speaker 2: is incredibly romantic.

827
00:40:47,653 --> 00:40:50,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the Saturday day later, But how much do

828
00:40:50,093 --> 00:40:55,093
Speaker 3: you have to do for Valentine's Day? Is it is

829
00:40:55,133 --> 00:40:57,213
Speaker 3: a relationship still healthy if you don't do anything for

830
00:40:57,293 --> 00:40:59,293
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day? Or is that a signal that it's all over?

831
00:40:59,453 --> 00:41:01,733
Speaker 3: And does it have to go both ways to both partners?

832
00:41:02,093 --> 00:41:05,692
Speaker 3: So are both people gearing up to do something?

833
00:41:05,773 --> 00:41:07,653
Speaker 2: I'd hope. So, I mean, these are all great questions.

834
00:41:07,653 --> 00:41:09,493
Speaker 2: Do you think this year is different that it's starting?

835
00:41:09,533 --> 00:41:12,253
Speaker 2: You feel like this year it's Valentine's Day, it's crept

836
00:41:12,333 --> 00:41:15,293
Speaker 2: up on us and it's weighing. And if you don't

837
00:41:15,373 --> 00:41:17,732
Speaker 2: to get Troy, You've got Tracy the rugby rugby ticket,

838
00:41:17,813 --> 00:41:19,893
Speaker 2: so that's something. But if you don't turn up with

839
00:41:20,053 --> 00:41:23,173
Speaker 2: flowers tomorrow, is it okay? You want to pass? Is

840
00:41:23,173 --> 00:41:24,293
Speaker 2: what you're asking for you?

841
00:41:24,333 --> 00:41:24,493
Speaker 1: No?

842
00:41:24,573 --> 00:41:26,373
Speaker 3: I just I just I'm not sure if I want

843
00:41:26,373 --> 00:41:30,133
Speaker 3: to pass. I just don't plan to do anything. But

844
00:41:30,333 --> 00:41:32,133
Speaker 3: is that a bad thing? And is that?

845
00:41:32,213 --> 00:41:32,333
Speaker 4: So?

846
00:41:32,413 --> 00:41:35,013
Speaker 3: My question also is like you're planning to do something

847
00:41:35,013 --> 00:41:36,772
Speaker 3: for your partner Tyler.

848
00:41:36,653 --> 00:41:39,373
Speaker 2: Well, I'm undecided. Actually, for the first time in many years,

849
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:41,973
Speaker 2: I'm undecided because we already had that chat. We just said, look,

850
00:41:41,973 --> 00:41:44,013
Speaker 2: we've got some big bills coming up that we need

851
00:41:44,053 --> 00:41:48,573
Speaker 2: to sort out, and let's not buy overinflated flowers or

852
00:41:48,613 --> 00:41:51,212
Speaker 2: do anything too crazy this year, because then we can

853
00:41:51,253 --> 00:41:53,493
Speaker 2: do something nice down the track on a day that's

854
00:41:53,493 --> 00:41:55,573
Speaker 2: not Valentine's Day, and we don't buy into all the

855
00:41:55,693 --> 00:41:59,453
Speaker 2: you know, Valentine's pr nonsense. But that was the conversation

856
00:41:59,573 --> 00:42:01,573
Speaker 2: we had. But in the back of my mind, I'm

857
00:42:01,613 --> 00:42:04,813
Speaker 2: thinking I should still pick up flowers for May tomorrow.

858
00:42:05,053 --> 00:42:09,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, because maybe that's not what she really means. Yeah,

859
00:42:09,053 --> 00:42:11,253
Speaker 3: maybe she wants to buy into that, but maybe part

860
00:42:11,293 --> 00:42:13,133
Speaker 3: of her heart will be slightly broken when you don't

861
00:42:13,173 --> 00:42:14,373
Speaker 3: do anything, or if you don't do anything.

862
00:42:14,373 --> 00:42:16,773
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, because we've had that chat every Valentine's

863
00:42:16,813 --> 00:42:18,613
Speaker 2: Day for the probably the last five years, and we

864
00:42:18,613 --> 00:42:20,853
Speaker 2: always say we're not going to get each other anything.

865
00:42:21,213 --> 00:42:24,093
Speaker 2: But then I will, on the way home from work,

866
00:42:24,573 --> 00:42:27,213
Speaker 2: swing into the florist and get a nice bouquet of flowers,

867
00:42:27,213 --> 00:42:30,333
Speaker 2: nothing too crazy, just something to say, hey, I love you.

868
00:42:30,533 --> 00:42:33,493
Speaker 3: But how okay, another question for you. How come the

869
00:42:35,733 --> 00:42:38,333
Speaker 3: one half of these relationships gets two days. They get

870
00:42:38,333 --> 00:42:42,613
Speaker 3: Mother's Day and they get Valentine's Day. And everyone knows

871
00:42:42,653 --> 00:42:44,573
Speaker 3: that if you're a father, you don't want Father's Day

872
00:42:44,573 --> 00:42:48,013
Speaker 3: to be celebrated, because that's just that's just upping expectations

873
00:42:48,693 --> 00:42:49,652
Speaker 3: for Mother's Day.

874
00:42:49,693 --> 00:42:51,573
Speaker 2: You reckon it's one side and it just goes one way.

875
00:42:51,613 --> 00:42:54,573
Speaker 2: You're a brave man. Oh, eight one hundred eighty ten eighty.

876
00:42:54,613 --> 00:42:57,453
Speaker 2: Because the argument always is that I buy flowers for

877
00:42:57,573 --> 00:43:01,973
Speaker 2: mave on her birthday, Valentine's Day and something nice on Christmas,

878
00:43:01,973 --> 00:43:04,533
Speaker 2: you know, for those occasions. But when it comes to flowers,

879
00:43:04,533 --> 00:43:07,813
Speaker 2: it's usually only Valentine's Day once a year. So I

880
00:43:07,853 --> 00:43:10,653
Speaker 2: think the give it is fear that I'm only doing

881
00:43:10,693 --> 00:43:15,533
Speaker 2: it because there's that pressure of its Valentine's Day. Everybody

882
00:43:15,533 --> 00:43:19,213
Speaker 2: else is getting flowers. But is that kind of just

883
00:43:19,373 --> 00:43:20,373
Speaker 2: a bit tokenism.

884
00:43:20,853 --> 00:43:23,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this text to here on nineteen ninety says,

885
00:43:23,053 --> 00:43:26,373
Speaker 3: don't buy flowers, write her a little love poem, mean

886
00:43:26,453 --> 00:43:28,853
Speaker 3: us more. That is nice, means more than flowers. And

887
00:43:28,853 --> 00:43:31,212
Speaker 3: this text has said this will be our forty seventh

888
00:43:31,293 --> 00:43:34,693
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day and we still celebrate it, making a special dinner.

889
00:43:35,293 --> 00:43:38,133
Speaker 3: Please don't say my name. Thanks, I won't say your name. Michael,

890
00:43:39,653 --> 00:43:40,373
Speaker 3: that's not his name.

893
00:43:49,333 --> 00:43:52,133
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day? Is it nice to do you? Is that

894
00:43:52,253 --> 00:43:54,573
Speaker 2: expectation have still alive in the relationship?

895
00:43:54,653 --> 00:43:56,333
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is it the end of the relationship? If you

896
00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:58,773
Speaker 3: don't is on the way out. And also I'd like

897
00:43:58,773 --> 00:44:00,573

905
00:44:27,533 --> 00:44:30,373
Speaker 2: a thing? Do people still make an effort? Do we

906
00:44:30,413 --> 00:44:32,853
Speaker 2: just need to be honest with ourselves that it's marketing

907
00:44:33,493 --> 00:44:36,013
Speaker 2: ploy and and do we really need to buy the

908

00:44:53,573 --> 00:44:56,333
Speaker 15: Well, why do you annoy? I share the same that your boys.

919
00:44:56,373 --> 00:44:59,253
Speaker 15: So we have our twenty nine winning andifishery in March,

920
00:44:59,613 --> 00:45:02,652
Speaker 15: and we have never celebrated Valentine's Day into quote, my

921
00:45:02,733 --> 00:45:05,253
Speaker 15: good lady, if you have to buy any flowers on

922
00:45:05,293 --> 00:45:08,773
Speaker 15: a day they tell you to, that's not love. We

923
00:45:08,853 --> 00:45:12,613
Speaker 15: try and do informations all the time and tell each

924
00:45:12,613 --> 00:45:14,453
Speaker 15: other how we feel about it. And for us, you

925
00:45:14,693 --> 00:45:16,973
Speaker 15: have to do it on what could be viewed as

926
00:45:16,973 --> 00:45:19,773
Speaker 15: a very commercial day, it just feels real flat for us.

927
00:45:19,773 --> 00:45:21,773
Speaker 15: So we never have and never will. And you know,

928
00:45:21,853 --> 00:45:24,253
Speaker 15: for me, it's buying flowers on the off chance you

929
00:45:24,253 --> 00:45:25,893
Speaker 15: have a bad week or something happened, just when to

930
00:45:25,933 --> 00:45:28,212
Speaker 15: brighten the day, and you do it then. So yeah,

931
00:45:28,373 --> 00:45:30,493
Speaker 15: with who we are, it's all over for us. It's

932
00:45:30,533 --> 00:45:32,212
Speaker 15: not a we don't do Valentine's points.

933
00:45:32,573 --> 00:45:34,293
Speaker 3: Jason, how many times a year would you buy your

934
00:45:34,293 --> 00:45:36,853
Speaker 3: partner flowers on a whim? Or is it just when

935
00:45:36,893 --> 00:45:37,692
Speaker 3: you've done something wrong?

936
00:45:39,213 --> 00:45:42,733
Speaker 15: Oh? Wow, nice, nice son, buddy. I never do it

937
00:45:42,733 --> 00:45:45,053
Speaker 15: when you're when you're done something bad, because that mans

938
00:45:45,093 --> 00:45:48,212
Speaker 15: things even worse and rotten flowers. I'll buy my girl

939
00:45:48,253 --> 00:45:50,053
Speaker 15: flowers three or four times a year.

940
00:45:50,173 --> 00:45:53,133
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, nice, and just randomly for no reason.

941
00:45:53,773 --> 00:45:55,333
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, yeah, no reason at all.

942
00:45:55,413 --> 00:45:58,853
Speaker 15: Because something have a reason, then well, hey it works

943
00:45:58,893 --> 00:46:00,773
Speaker 15: for us, right And then I don't know if it's

944
00:46:00,773 --> 00:46:02,893
Speaker 15: growing any points all love. Hopefully it's the latter, But

945
00:46:02,933 --> 00:46:05,093
Speaker 15: my girl said he loves it, and we put them

946
00:46:05,133 --> 00:46:07,213
Speaker 15: in the VARs. You talk about having flowers and know

947
00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:08,853
Speaker 15: shetails of friendship came.

948
00:46:11,053 --> 00:46:12,293
Speaker 10: Just because I.

949
00:46:14,613 --> 00:46:18,212
Speaker 3: Love that, because because really it could be seen. So

950
00:46:18,493 --> 00:46:21,893
Speaker 3: the flowers that Tyler will invariably get for his partner tomorrow,

951
00:46:22,933 --> 00:46:25,733
Speaker 3: it sounds already by what he's saying, it feels obligated

952
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:27,693
Speaker 3: to so he doesn't get in trouble. So those flowers

953
00:46:27,733 --> 00:46:30,933
Speaker 3: aren't nearly as meaningful as yours. Jason, you're just driving home,

954
00:46:30,973 --> 00:46:33,653
Speaker 3: you get overwhelmed with feelings of love for your partner,

955
00:46:33,973 --> 00:46:36,253
Speaker 3: pick up the flowers and just present it. She's not

956
00:46:36,293 --> 00:46:38,212
Speaker 3: expecting it, maybe she's had a bad day. She gets

957
00:46:38,213 --> 00:46:42,213
Speaker 3: flowers from you. That is a beautiful thing and completely

958
00:46:42,213 --> 00:46:45,013
Speaker 3: outside of commerciality. That's just pure love from Jason. I

959
00:46:45,053 --> 00:46:45,613
Speaker 3: respect that.

960
00:46:45,973 --> 00:46:47,772
Speaker 2: But when I said smart before, I made it seem

961
00:46:47,853 --> 00:46:50,093
Speaker 2: like some sort of strategy just to make sure that

962
00:46:50,173 --> 00:46:52,133
Speaker 2: you're on there and the good books for the rest

963
00:46:52,173 --> 00:46:54,933
Speaker 2: of the year. But I don't know if I do

964
00:46:55,013 --> 00:46:58,373
Speaker 2: it out of a sense of obligation. It's more that

965
00:46:58,733 --> 00:47:01,732
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want May to feel like she's missing out.

966
00:47:01,733 --> 00:47:05,013
Speaker 2: That if one of the colleagues had flowers delivered to

967
00:47:05,093 --> 00:47:08,813
Speaker 2: her workplace and May didn't get flowers from me, I

968
00:47:08,853 --> 00:47:10,652
Speaker 2: think just a part of her. She might not say it,

969
00:47:10,653 --> 00:47:12,453
Speaker 2: but a part of it would be thinking Tyler really

970
00:47:12,533 --> 00:47:13,373
Speaker 2: dropped the ball this year.

971
00:47:15,293 --> 00:47:17,652
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it? Because I have gone back

972
00:47:17,693 --> 00:47:20,253
Speaker 15: two minutes sent flowers to my wife's work on a

973
00:47:20,333 --> 00:47:24,173
Speaker 15: non Valentine's Day, and the amount of happiness that brought

974
00:47:24,173 --> 00:47:26,453
Speaker 15: her and the rest of everybody, And to your point before,

975
00:47:26,453 --> 00:47:28,533
Speaker 15: it was very funny. Three people are going, oh shit,

976
00:47:28,573 --> 00:47:30,533
Speaker 15: what's he's done wrong with something? You wrongs at the Anniversity?

977
00:47:32,213 --> 00:47:35,652
Speaker 15: Nothing to book up just right when you look at it.

978
00:47:35,893 --> 00:47:38,853
Speaker 15: For not a large investment, so so many to turn

979
00:47:38,933 --> 00:47:42,133
Speaker 15: up at work, unrequited, unexpected, It just makes you da't

980
00:47:42,133 --> 00:47:43,172
Speaker 15: In fact, I made it whole week.

981
00:47:43,213 --> 00:47:43,373
Speaker 6: You know.

982
00:47:43,413 --> 00:47:44,133
Speaker 14: That's that's how.

983
00:47:44,013 --> 00:47:46,133
Speaker 15: We've alved you. If you fill your soul boys. And

984
00:47:46,173 --> 00:47:47,732
Speaker 15: that's about not about money, right.

985
00:47:47,933 --> 00:47:49,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the dodgy guys around the office, when those

986
00:47:49,853 --> 00:47:51,893
Speaker 3: flowers are right from Jason, the dodgy guys around the

987
00:47:51,893 --> 00:47:58,453
Speaker 3: office are going he's cheating on his wife. I've got

988
00:47:58,453 --> 00:48:00,853
Speaker 3: a question for you, Jason. How often does your wife

989
00:48:01,013 --> 00:48:03,573
Speaker 3: do reciprocal lovely things like that for you?

990
00:48:06,053 --> 00:48:08,453
Speaker 15: Well, he doesn't buy any flowers in arms or the

991

Speaker 15: lord dry bature the house, sorry to swear, and my

992
00:48:10,013 --> 00:48:11,533
Speaker 15: wife does all the cocky. But now and then we

993
00:48:11,613 --> 00:48:13,533
Speaker 15: would have surprised each other and go right to date night.

994
00:48:13,773 --> 00:48:15,133
Speaker 15: Come on, we're going out and we're going to do

Speaker 15: more it's more from the heart for us, guys. It

1000
00:48:25,173 --> 00:48:26,493
Speaker 15: means something that way.

1008
00:48:44,093 --> 00:48:48,173

Speaker 3: by But is that just because I'm operating in a

1027
00:49:41,533 --> 00:49:43,173
Speaker 3: strange bubble these days.

1028
00:49:43,413 --> 00:49:45,653
Speaker 2: I think it's dangerous. That's dangerous thinking. It is a

1029
00:49:45,693 --> 00:49:49,453
Speaker 2: bit of a minefield, though, Logan, how are you, Yeah,

1036
00:50:02,213 --> 00:50:05,053
Speaker 16: do the don't do the flowers thing on Valentine's say intact,

1037
00:50:05,093 --> 00:50:08,293
Speaker 16: I only give my wife flowers when she's done something wrong.

1038
00:50:09,213 --> 00:50:12,173
Speaker 2: Right, okay, right, okay, carry on.

1039
00:50:13,453 --> 00:50:20,973
Speaker 16: Comergic doesn't see but it works or whatever she's done,

1040
00:50:20,973 --> 00:50:21,893
Speaker 16: she never does it again.

1041
00:50:22,133 --> 00:50:23,692
Speaker 3: Right, Does she come up in hives or something?

1042
00:50:25,453 --> 00:50:28,413
Speaker 16: Oh no, she just sh just sneeze us for a few.

1043
00:50:28,173 --> 00:50:28,693
Speaker 6: Hours, you know.

1044
00:50:31,293 --> 00:50:33,333
Speaker 3: So that's that I would call that romantic terrorism.

1045
00:50:33,493 --> 00:50:35,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost like having a bit of a spray bottle,

1046
00:50:35,893 --> 00:50:37,573
Speaker 2: just to you know, give her a spray which she

1047
00:50:37,613 --> 00:50:38,293
Speaker 2: does something wrong.

1048
00:50:39,813 --> 00:50:41,973
Speaker 16: Well, yeah, it's a little bit like that, but but

1049
00:50:42,053 --> 00:50:43,533
Speaker 16: that does work for anyone out there.

1050
00:50:43,613 --> 00:50:46,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, thank you for your advice. Logans

1051

00:50:53,813 --> 00:50:55,493
Speaker 2: I'm fine now.

1054
00:50:58,493 --> 00:51:03,213
Speaker 17: Never, yeah, and never acknowledge some time to day. And

1055
00:51:03,333 --> 00:51:07,013
Speaker 17: my husband did believe in mothers. Say he encouraged the

1056
00:51:07,093 --> 00:51:09,732
Speaker 17: kids that they should give me little gives us any

1057
00:51:09,853 --> 00:51:12,493
Speaker 17: time they felt appreciative for efforts.

1058
00:51:13,013 --> 00:51:14,333
Speaker 3: And how often does that happen?

1059
00:51:15,293 --> 00:51:16,053
Speaker 7: What's gore wrong?

1060
00:51:17,173 --> 00:51:19,333
Speaker 3: How does how often does that happen? Yvonne? That they

1061
00:51:19,413 --> 00:51:21,573
Speaker 3: give you presents because they're appreciative of your efforts.

1062
00:51:23,093 --> 00:51:25,133
Speaker 17: When they were lit all not so great, but once

1063
00:51:25,173 --> 00:51:29,413
Speaker 17: they became teenagers and my time is great, my daphin

1064
00:51:29,493 --> 00:51:30,013
Speaker 17: not so great?

1065
00:51:32,613 --> 00:51:34,933
Speaker 2: And so so do you?

1066
00:51:35,293 --> 00:51:38,093
Speaker 3: Did you ever feel disappointed? Did you ever have on

1067
00:51:38,173 --> 00:51:40,933
Speaker 3: a Valentine's Day? Anyone else is getting flowers and you didn't?

1068
00:51:40,973 --> 00:51:41,133
Speaker 6: Never?

1069
00:51:42,333 --> 00:51:46,453
Speaker 17: Never, because he often showed appreciation by taking me out

1070
00:51:46,493 --> 00:51:51,373
Speaker 17: for dinner frequently for a while they're more muchly or

1071
00:51:51,533 --> 00:51:54,213
Speaker 17: he would come home with chopless or something like that

1072
00:51:54,333 --> 00:51:54,573
Speaker 17: for me.

1073
00:51:55,893 --> 00:51:58,213
Speaker 3: Did he ever accidentally give you a prison on Valentine's

1074
00:51:58,293 --> 00:52:02,533
Speaker 3: Day just because he was overwhelmed by love? Actively won't

1075
00:52:02,573 --> 00:52:03,333
Speaker 3: on Valentine's Say?

1076
00:52:03,773 --> 00:52:03,933
Speaker 12: Why?

1077
00:52:04,813 --> 00:52:07,813
Speaker 17: Because I think what florish through was a bright flower

1078
00:52:08,093 --> 00:52:09,373
Speaker 17: rose is explortion?

1079
00:52:10,533 --> 00:52:14,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's logical, von But I mean, yeah, honestly,

1080
00:52:15,053 --> 00:52:17,973
Speaker 2: was this some part of you that thought I wouldn't

1081
00:52:18,333 --> 00:52:20,893
Speaker 2: liked some roses on Valentine's Day? Just a small part

1082
00:52:20,933 --> 00:52:21,133
Speaker 2: of you.

1083
00:52:22,493 --> 00:52:25,493
Speaker 17: No, occasionally if you would go out to the garden

1084
00:52:26,053 --> 00:52:29,133
Speaker 17: and a rose for me, because I had a large

1085
00:52:29,213 --> 00:52:35,893
Speaker 17: rose garden in those days. Yeah, we never felt we

1086
00:52:36,013 --> 00:52:38,213

Speaker 17: a commercial to show you that it's time to by,

1088

1089
00:52:46,573 --> 00:52:49,613

1090
00:52:49,733 --> 00:52:52,373

Speaker 1: All right?

1108
00:53:27,853 --> 00:53:31,373
Speaker 3: Well, the thing with florist, right, is that they've got

1109
00:53:31,413 --> 00:53:34,293
Speaker 3: a perishable good, right. Yeah, So you can't stock up

1110
00:53:34,533 --> 00:53:38,173
Speaker 3: in advance on flowers for Valentine's Day, can you.

1111
00:53:38,333 --> 00:53:39,373
Speaker 2: No, that's how to freeze them.

1112
00:53:39,413 --> 00:53:40,812
Speaker 3: And that's the why they've got you over a barrel.

1113
00:53:40,893 --> 00:53:42,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got you by the curlies.

1114
00:53:42,133 --> 00:53:42,293
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1115
00:53:42,613 --> 00:53:44,613
Speaker 3: And also it's pretty clear if you've just grabbed one

1116
00:53:44,653 --> 00:53:47,133
Speaker 3: out of someone's garden or you've hit it down to

1117
00:53:47,493 --> 00:53:49,933
Speaker 3: a community garden and grabbed them. You just come home

1118
00:53:50,013 --> 00:53:52,413
Speaker 3: with I don't know, a daisy chain that you've picked

1119
00:53:52,453 --> 00:53:53,933
Speaker 3: up of the boom.

1120
00:53:53,853 --> 00:53:57,093
Speaker 2: Even the ones outside of dairies, and no knocking dairies.

1121
00:53:57,133 --> 00:53:59,573
Speaker 2: But you've got to go for the full hole red roads,

1122
00:53:59,613 --> 00:53:59,853
Speaker 2: don't you.

1123
00:53:59,933 --> 00:54:00,013
Speaker 6: Oh.

1124
00:54:00,093 --> 00:54:02,613
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

1125
00:54:03,253 --> 00:54:05,253
Speaker 2: A quick couple of texts and we've got the headlines

1126
00:54:05,293 --> 00:54:09,773
Speaker 2: coming up. Guys. It's the equivalent of a whole holiday. However,

1127
00:54:10,173 --> 00:54:12,692
Speaker 2: it's frowned upon if you turn up without flowers. See,

1128
00:54:12,773 --> 00:54:15,853
Speaker 2: that is the conundrum that everybody knows it's commercial, and

1129
00:54:15,933 --> 00:54:18,093
Speaker 2: everybody knows that it's a good day for floris, and

1130
00:54:18,133 --> 00:54:20,573
Speaker 2: this is when they make their money for most of

1131
00:54:20,653 --> 00:54:24,373
Speaker 2: the year. But if you don't play the game. There

1132
00:54:24,533 --> 00:54:26,653
Speaker 2: is that slight element of danger that you're going to

1133
00:54:26,733 --> 00:54:27,693
Speaker 2: upset your partner.

1134
00:54:27,573 --> 00:54:29,933
Speaker 3: Especially if you haven't been getting gifts leading up to

1135
00:54:30,013 --> 00:54:31,693
Speaker 3: that situation. So it's all very well. I've had a

1136
00:54:31,733 --> 00:54:35,333
Speaker 3: couple of calls where there's been moments of spontaneous flower

1137
00:54:35,413 --> 00:54:38,453
Speaker 3: buying and spontaneous gift giving. But if you haven't been

1138
00:54:38,493 --> 00:54:40,293
Speaker 3: involved in any of that, and you come up to

1139
00:54:40,373 --> 00:54:42,813
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day, and that also includes the days of you

1140
00:54:42,933 --> 00:54:45,573

1143
00:54:49,533 --> 00:54:51,053
Speaker 3: box for forty five dollars.

1144
00:54:51,173 --> 00:54:54,253
Speaker 2: Woo see that's it. That's when they're make in their cash. Oh,

Speaker 3: You don't want to be I don't want to be

Speaker 3: nine two nine two's the text number? Is it obligatory?

1180
00:56:52,933 --> 00:56:55,293
Speaker 3: I tell my partner, would she rather me give her

1181
00:56:55,333 --> 00:56:57,253
Speaker 3: a gift on a day when everyone does it? Or

1182
00:56:57,253 --> 00:56:59,533
Speaker 3: would she rather a spontaneous day when I do it

1183
00:56:59,613 --> 00:57:01,733
Speaker 3: on my own terms, which means I'm thinking of her.

1184
00:57:02,373 --> 00:57:04,853
Speaker 3: She's still waiting. But good things take time.

1185
00:57:05,293 --> 00:57:06,252
Speaker 2: Oh that's good.

1186
00:57:06,413 --> 00:57:08,773
Speaker 3: My late husband never brought me flowers. He would bring

1187
00:57:08,853 --> 00:57:11,613
Speaker 3: me firewood that rated higher to me than a bunch

1188
00:57:11,693 --> 00:57:15,253
Speaker 3: of overpriced blooms any day. But as sometimes when you

1189
00:57:15,693 --> 00:57:17,773
Speaker 3: when we were on the farm, he would pick me

1190
00:57:17,853 --> 00:57:22,013
Speaker 3: a stray daisy or other wildflower. Huge points every day

1191
00:57:22,093 --> 00:57:25,493
Speaker 3: was Valentine's Day on that specific day. From Carol that's beautiful.

1192
00:57:25,653 --> 00:57:27,613
Speaker 2: It is lovely mylowers.

1193
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:30,413
Speaker 3: And this textas says, deciding not to do Valentine's Day

1194
00:57:30,613 --> 00:57:35,053
Speaker 3: is a massive flex. Charlene used to be a florist.

1195
00:57:35,693 --> 00:57:36,933
Speaker 3: Your views of Valentine's Day?

1196
00:57:38,333 --> 00:57:41,773
Speaker 18: Yeah, and you probably wouldn't get a forest calling at

1197
00:57:41,773 --> 00:57:45,933
Speaker 18: the moment, they'll bet I was thinking that is just

1198
00:57:46,213 --> 00:57:50,493
Speaker 18: crazy And if you can afford it, I would highly

1199
00:57:50,573 --> 00:57:54,053
Speaker 18: recommend support your local forests rather than a supermarket a

1200
00:57:54,133 --> 00:57:57,453
Speaker 18: lot of florests. This as a profit for the whole. Yeah, no,

1201
00:57:58,173 --> 00:58:02,093
Speaker 18: as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, so you don't have

1202
00:58:02,213 --> 00:58:04,653
Speaker 18: to go red roses either, like there's lots of other

1203
00:58:04,733 --> 00:58:08,333
Speaker 18: beautiful flowers that probably be in better condition.

1204
00:58:08,373 --> 00:58:11,613
Speaker 19: You know, And I think, I think, why not?

1205
00:58:11,853 --> 00:58:15,973
Speaker 18: Why not take your partner? If your partner has social media,

1206
00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:19,013
Speaker 18: I highly suggest you get even a little box of

1207
00:58:19,093 --> 00:58:23,133
Speaker 18: chocolates because everyone posts what I got, what I got?

1208
00:58:23,613 --> 00:58:23,933
Speaker 10: I got?

1209
00:58:24,013 --> 00:58:27,173
Speaker 18: You kind of felt at my left dad or that's sad,

1210
00:58:27,253 --> 00:58:29,973
Speaker 18: and I just thank for a sake of a cat

1211
00:58:30,053 --> 00:58:32,333
Speaker 18: and a box of chocolate. Why not make your partner

1212
00:58:32,413 --> 00:58:33,013
Speaker 18: feel FISHO.

1213
00:58:33,613 --> 00:58:36,733
Speaker 3: What's the stress like for a florist around Valentine's Day?

1214
00:58:36,733 --> 00:58:38,813
Speaker 3: Because as you say, you've got to make your profit

1215
00:58:38,933 --> 00:58:42,733
Speaker 3: there buying and enough flowers, enough people coming in, working

1216
00:58:42,813 --> 00:58:44,933
Speaker 3: out the price because you know a lot of people

1217
00:58:44,973 --> 00:58:48,373
Speaker 3: say that flowers really pump up the price around Valentine's Day.

1218
00:58:48,573 --> 00:58:51,733
Speaker 2: What's the pressure, Like, oh, it's crazy.

1219
00:58:51,853 --> 00:58:54,773
Speaker 18: It's a box of early starts and like working on

1220
00:58:55,013 --> 00:58:57,573
Speaker 18: the way hours of the morning, and you've got to

1221
00:58:57,693 --> 00:59:00,333
Speaker 18: hire like a lot more people to come at because

1222
00:59:01,213 --> 00:59:03,893
Speaker 18: like it's perishable good. You can't press that much in

1223
00:59:04,013 --> 00:59:06,573
Speaker 18: ad but you have a week Tom kind of get

1224
00:59:06,613 --> 00:59:08,853
Speaker 18: everything and prep and make.

1225
00:59:08,773 --> 00:59:11,453
Speaker 19: All the bouquets by the day or two beforehand, and

1226
00:59:11,613 --> 00:59:14,773
Speaker 19: we need extra people on the prices of flowers from

1227
00:59:14,813 --> 00:59:19,053
Speaker 19: the glowers go up and it's a lot of what

1228
00:59:19,173 --> 00:59:21,653
Speaker 19: you don't get more driver than to deliberate and.

1229
00:59:23,253 --> 00:59:26,533
Speaker 18: The costs of everything include it, so you don't know.

1230
00:59:27,013 --> 00:59:29,133
Speaker 18: You don't want to have any flowers left over the

1231
00:59:29,213 --> 00:59:31,693
Speaker 18: next day because no one wants three roosers on the

1232
00:59:31,773 --> 00:59:36,493
Speaker 18: first day of So I engage like what to buy,

Speaker 3: And there's beautiful people running in, the amount of love

1239
00:59:52,013 --> 00:59:53,413
Speaker 3: coming in and out of the shop, does that does

1240
00:59:53,453 --> 00:59:56,133
Speaker 3: that have a register? You're just crazy stressed.

1241
00:59:57,653 --> 01:00:01,693
Speaker 18: It's fun, it's it's fun and it's it's nicely and

1242
01:00:01,853 --> 01:00:04,333
Speaker 18: so a time to day is very funny. And to

1243
01:00:04,453 --> 01:00:08,653
Speaker 18: Mother's Day there's more mothers than mothers, and mother say

1244
01:00:08,813 --> 01:00:11,973
Speaker 18: the orders come in, you know, sometimes a month ahead

1245
01:00:12,013 --> 01:00:16,613
Speaker 18: of Mother's Day, Valentine's Day. Men are very unorganized and

1246
01:00:16,693 --> 01:00:20,413
Speaker 18: they'll just turn up on the day and that's really

1247
01:00:20,533 --> 01:00:22,693
Speaker 18: hard to gauge what to get. So it is really

1248
01:00:23,093 --> 01:00:25,013
Speaker 18: it's wait, it's just life to celebrate it.

1249
01:00:25,493 --> 01:00:28,813
Speaker 2: So aside from roses, what is the flower that you'd

1250
01:00:28,893 --> 01:00:32,013
Speaker 2: recommend the most? So if I turn up and you're

1251
01:00:32,053 --> 01:00:33,853
Speaker 2: behind the counter and I say, look, I don't really

1252
01:00:33,973 --> 01:00:36,413
Speaker 2: know what my partner's into. What would you recommend?

1253
01:00:38,053 --> 01:00:41,253
Speaker 18: Well, if she likes frights or tanks. And there's so

1254
01:00:41,413 --> 01:00:45,493
Speaker 18: many different ones long lasting as like Crossanthians, Astromeria, and

1255
01:00:45,533 --> 01:00:48,253
Speaker 18: they're quite cheaper as well, but they make big bunches,

1256
01:00:49,133 --> 01:00:51,893
Speaker 18: popping in some grainary to really make the bouquet look

1257
01:00:51,973 --> 01:00:54,733
Speaker 18: faller and definitely some nice wrapping around it.

1258
01:00:56,293 --> 01:00:59,333
Speaker 3: And do you as a florist, did you want to

1259
01:00:59,373 --> 01:01:02,373
Speaker 3: receive flowers? Because that most an interesting position to be in.

1260
01:01:02,813 --> 01:01:05,533
Speaker 3: Someone whose partner is a florest last thing they want

1261
01:01:05,613 --> 01:01:07,693
Speaker 3: is to be some flowers on Valentine's say they don't

1262
01:01:07,693 --> 01:01:08,133
Speaker 3: want to see them.

1263
01:01:10,173 --> 01:01:13,893
Speaker 18: No, of course you want flowers. Don't want flowers, but

1264
01:01:14,213 --> 01:01:17,453
Speaker 18: we love flowers. But I also know the mark having

1410
01:07:31,413 --> 01:07:34,333
Speaker 3: Used to be a curious as this texter hated Valentine's Day.

Speaker 3: Start early in the morning and finish late delivering the

1412
01:07:36,493 --> 01:07:40,333
Speaker 3: bloody flowers. Still hate it because of that team cheers Gary.

1413
01:07:41,093 --> 01:07:46,293
Speaker 3: Yeah he's got a anti anti Valentine's Day origin story.

1414
01:07:46,213 --> 01:07:51,013
Speaker 2: Right TSD there This one from and guys red roses

1415
01:07:51,053 --> 01:07:55,213
Speaker 2: and chocolates make me feel generic, not special, and completely

1416
01:07:55,293 --> 01:07:58,453
Speaker 2: ignores the fact that A I don't like roses and

1417
01:07:58,573 --> 01:08:01,733
Speaker 2: B I can't eat chocolate. It's just aggravating. Go figure.

1418
01:08:02,013 --> 01:08:04,293
Speaker 2: Nothing is better than a run of the mill something

1419
01:08:04,933 --> 01:08:05,893
Speaker 2: just not flowers and chocolate.

1420
01:08:05,933 --> 01:08:08,013
Speaker 3: So that's harsh, isn't it. So it's the thought the

1421
01:08:08,093 --> 01:08:11,973
Speaker 3: count right, you don't like roses, well you know he's

1422
01:08:11,973 --> 01:08:14,093
Speaker 3: still got your roses. You don't like chocolate, you can't

1423
01:08:14,213 --> 01:08:17,452
Speaker 3: chocolate makes you you know, you know what a cantat chocolate?

1424
01:08:18,133 --> 01:08:20,213
Speaker 2: I mean, is it the thought that counts though? Because

1425
01:08:20,293 --> 01:08:22,973
Speaker 2: flowers and I'm not knocking florists here, and they rely

1426
01:08:23,173 --> 01:08:27,253
Speaker 2: on Valentine's Day to make some money. But it is lazy.

1427
01:08:27,572 --> 01:08:29,812
Speaker 2: Let's be honest here. That is a lazy gift on

1428
01:08:29,933 --> 01:08:30,652
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day.

1429
01:08:30,812 --> 01:08:33,253

Speaker 3: before we all know what guys actually want on Valentine's Day,

1431
01:08:37,293 --> 01:08:38,333
Speaker 3: not just Valentine's Day.

1432
01:08:39,893 --> 01:08:42,412
Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number

1433
01:08:42,412 --> 01:08:46,372
Speaker 2: to call question for you flowers? Genuinely? Is that the

1434
01:08:46,452 --> 01:08:50,013
Speaker 2: lazy gift on Valentine's Day? If you are getting flowers

1435
01:08:50,093 --> 01:08:52,572
Speaker 2: each day on Valentine's Day? One, do you expect them?

1436
01:08:52,612 --> 01:08:52,852
Speaker 4: And too?

1437
01:08:52,893 --> 01:08:54,412
Speaker 2: If you get them, do you kind of feel like

1438
01:08:54,532 --> 01:08:57,612
Speaker 2: that's the cheap option? Do you prefer something with a

1439
01:08:57,652 --> 01:08:59,973
Speaker 2: bit more pizazz behind it? Love to hear from you?

01:13:56,812 --> 01:14:00,372
Speaker 10: you're the your car, Well there's car what's your car washes?

1544
01:14:00,452 --> 01:14:04,652
Speaker 10: The thinking man's kitchen appliance. You know, if I bought

1545
01:14:04,692 --> 01:14:08,372
Speaker 10: my wife a fry pan or a new dishwasher, I

1546
01:14:08,412 --> 01:14:10,133
Speaker 10: should have just packed my bag and left home. And

1547
01:14:10,213 --> 01:14:12,732
Speaker 10: I think a car washers right up there with that. Matthew,

1548
01:14:13,133 --> 01:14:14,532
Speaker 10: I think you've thought it through too much.

1549
01:14:14,812 --> 01:14:17,013
Speaker 2: Well, you know the fact she's been asking for it.

1550
01:14:17,133 --> 01:14:18,852
Speaker 2: I just thought, you know, that could be something a

1551
01:14:18,933 --> 01:14:23,532
Speaker 2: bit more, a bit more different than flowers. Flowers to me,

1552
01:14:23,652 --> 01:14:25,732
Speaker 2: is a little bit lazy that everyone's expecting that. So

1553
01:14:25,893 --> 01:14:27,892
Speaker 2: just giving her a car valet to clean her car,

1554
01:14:27,973 --> 01:14:29,133
Speaker 2: that's what she's been asking for.

1555
01:14:29,293 --> 01:14:30,253
Speaker 1: But you three and.

1556
01:14:30,293 --> 01:14:33,013
Speaker 10: Sixty, three hundred and sixty four other days were to

1557
01:14:33,133 --> 01:14:34,932
Speaker 10: give that or make just like if your wife does

1558
01:14:35,053 --> 01:14:38,253
Speaker 10: want it this washer, three hundred and sixty four days

1559
01:14:38,293 --> 01:14:42,933
Speaker 10: besides Christmas and Valentine's that war three days for I'm

1560
01:14:42,973 --> 01:14:44,532
Speaker 10: an old fart, so a little bit of.

1561
01:14:44,532 --> 01:14:48,052
Speaker 2: Advice, fair enough. I've got a lot of texts saying Tyler,

1562
01:14:48,053 --> 01:14:49,132
Speaker 2: you're an absolute idiot.

1563
01:14:49,293 --> 01:14:51,772
Speaker 3: Thanks my last thanks for that, thanks for that due.

1564
01:14:52,013 --> 01:14:55,852
Speaker 2: Yeah, yuh menissa, I think am I saying that?

1565
01:14:56,013 --> 01:14:56,133
Speaker 18: Right?

1566
01:14:56,853 --> 01:15:00,932
Speaker 2: MENIESA good afternoon, chiah hi hi.

1567
01:15:01,612 --> 01:15:04,972
Speaker 22: I thought, yes, I always tried to work at this time,

1568
01:15:05,013 --> 01:15:07,132
Speaker 22: and I listened to the show when I thought, today

1569
01:15:07,213 --> 01:15:10,572
Speaker 22: I need to call him in that Valentine's Day is

1570
01:15:10,732 --> 01:15:14,812
Speaker 22: great because going back when I was twelve years old,

1571
01:15:15,692 --> 01:15:19,732
Speaker 22: another boy in our neighborhood who was also twelve, an

1572
01:15:19,772 --> 01:15:23,852
Speaker 22: annoying boy, sent me flowers on Valentine's Day and I

1573
01:15:24,013 --> 01:15:27,372
Speaker 22: was at a private school at that stage or girls.

1574
01:15:28,452 --> 01:15:32,133
Speaker 22: So I got into a lot of trouble because he

1575
01:15:32,452 --> 01:15:36,173
Speaker 22: sneaked in the flowers through his cousin's sister. So I'm

1576
01:15:36,253 --> 01:15:39,372
Speaker 22: forty two now being married to that annoying boy for

1577
01:15:39,492 --> 01:15:40,213
Speaker 22: fifteen years.

1578
01:15:42,333 --> 01:15:44,333
Speaker 19: So to be really honest, it's just.

1579
01:15:44,572 --> 01:15:47,253
Speaker 22: Young love, right, It's the start of young love. And

1580
01:15:47,333 --> 01:15:50,973
Speaker 22: I remember when we were young, really young. I know

1581
01:15:51,093 --> 01:15:53,692
Speaker 22: that all people call him and say it should be

1582
01:15:53,853 --> 01:15:57,652
Speaker 22: every day to commercialize, but I feel like, who cares.

1583
01:15:57,812 --> 01:16:02,013
Speaker 22: We've got these busy routines now, and why not take

1584
01:16:02,053 --> 01:16:06,692
Speaker 22: the opportunity of this commercialized day and just live back

1585
01:16:06,772 --> 01:16:11,133
Speaker 22: that memory of Valentine's Day back when, back when you

1586
01:16:11,213 --> 01:16:14,253
Speaker 22: were sixteen seventeen and you got the secret admirer or

1587
01:16:14,853 --> 01:16:16,093
Speaker 22: you know, it's just wonderful.

1588
01:16:16,293 --> 01:16:18,173
Speaker 3: So how did you how did you track down to

1589
01:16:18,853 --> 01:16:22,532
Speaker 3: meet your current husband from the from the flower didn't

1590
01:16:22,572 --> 01:16:24,892
Speaker 3: have his name on it or was it completely anonymous?

1591
01:16:27,293 --> 01:16:29,812
Speaker 22: Yes, I realized that he saved all his pocket money

1592
01:16:29,853 --> 01:16:32,812
Speaker 22: to get me these fancy flowers, and I hated him

1593
01:16:32,893 --> 01:16:36,372
Speaker 22: for it because and he rang me later and said,

1594
01:16:36,452 --> 01:16:39,133
Speaker 22: because we had we didn't have cell phones at that time.

1595
01:16:39,692 --> 01:16:42,572
Speaker 22: This is originally I'm from Sri Lanka. So when he

1596
01:16:42,812 --> 01:16:45,253
Speaker 22: rang in and my brother picked up the phone and

1597
01:16:45,372 --> 01:16:47,572
Speaker 22: he had to keep the phone and ring me again,

1598
01:16:47,652 --> 01:16:50,333
Speaker 22: and he said, did you get my flowers? And I said,

1599
01:16:50,973 --> 01:16:53,852
Speaker 22: I Am never going to talk to you again because

1600
01:16:53,893 --> 01:16:59,173
Speaker 22: I thought you've got me so much trouble mat We

1601
01:16:59,532 --> 01:17:02,692
Speaker 22: always go back to that moment. And I've just bought

1602
01:17:02,812 --> 01:17:07,133
Speaker 22: him his gift on my way to work today. But

1603
01:17:07,612 --> 01:17:12,173
Speaker 22: it's a simple it's just a simple banker's lamp for

1604
01:17:12,293 --> 01:17:17,932
Speaker 22: his desk. But the years that things are really tough,

1605
01:17:18,093 --> 01:17:20,972
Speaker 22: like last year he was made redundant, Andy thinks were tough.

1606
01:17:21,213 --> 01:17:24,052
Speaker 22: We just got a pizza from Dominos and we watched

1607
01:17:24,093 --> 01:17:29,972
Speaker 22: our DVD wedding DVD that's pretty and and when years

1608
01:17:30,013 --> 01:17:33,492
Speaker 22: are great, Yeah, well we just you know, go all out.

1609
01:17:33,652 --> 01:17:37,572
Speaker 22: And I've also bought my daughter cards for Valentine's Stage,

1610
01:17:37,652 --> 01:17:40,372
Speaker 22: just to remind her that she's loved. It's not just

1611
01:17:40,492 --> 01:17:41,372
Speaker 22: about the couples.

1612
01:17:42,412 --> 01:17:43,293
Speaker 3: That's brilliant, you know.

1613
01:17:43,853 --> 01:17:45,532
Speaker 20: I just I just wanted to have that.

1614
01:17:46,333 --> 01:17:49,852
Speaker 22: Start a feeling, you know, rebec and there's nothing wrong

1615
01:17:49,933 --> 01:17:52,933
Speaker 22: with it, honestly, think everyone.

1616
01:17:52,812 --> 01:17:54,333
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for recall. And I think a

1617
01:17:54,372 --> 01:17:57,013
Speaker 3: lot of people agree with you. This person doesn't, though,

1618
01:17:57,133 --> 01:18:00,132
Speaker 3: I have two words for Valentine's Day bar humbug clives

1619
01:18:00,133 --> 01:18:03,093
Speaker 3: into well a good hour. So w does that this

1620
01:18:03,213 --> 01:18:05,933
Speaker 3: one season? Les Tyler washes the car with a shirt off.

1621
01:18:06,053 --> 01:18:07,412
Speaker 3: Then it's not very romantic at all.

1622
01:18:07,532 --> 01:18:11,053
Speaker 2: Nobody wants that, particularly may good discussion. So where does

1623
01:18:11,093 --> 01:18:13,133
Speaker 2: that leave us? As Valentine's Day is still a thing?

1624
01:18:13,173 --> 01:18:14,013
Speaker 2: I think it kind of is.

1625
01:18:14,173 --> 01:18:16,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems to be. Yeah, it seems to be controversial,

1626
01:18:16,853 --> 01:18:17,452
Speaker 3: but still a thing.

1627
01:18:17,973 --> 01:18:21,532
Speaker 2: Very good discussion. Right after three o'clock, new topic on

1628
01:18:21,772 --> 01:18:24,972

Speaker 2: on our screens? We'll tell you more very shortly. Oh

Speaker 3: tonight on Channel three and available on three now as well,

1642
01:19:06,053 --> 01:19:10,492
Speaker 3: which brings us to the subject of this hour's chat.

1643
01:19:10,692 --> 01:19:12,892
Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighties the number nine two

1644
01:19:13,013 --> 01:19:14,652
Speaker 3: nine to two if you want to give us a text.

1645
01:19:15,692 --> 01:19:20,573
Speaker 3: Government document proposes an overhaul of media regulation and funding agencies,

1646
01:19:21,053 --> 01:19:23,692
Speaker 3: as well as new requirements of global streamers to invest

1647
01:19:23,853 --> 01:19:27,372
Speaker 3: in New Zealand content. Global streamers such as Netflix, Apple,

1648
01:19:27,812 --> 01:19:30,333
Speaker 3: Disney Plus and Amazon would be required to invest in

1649
01:19:30,372 --> 01:19:33,093
Speaker 3: New Zealand productions and content under a range of new

1650
01:19:33,213 --> 01:19:37,213
Speaker 3: media proposals unveiled by the government today. Smart Television this

1651
01:19:37,253 --> 01:19:39,493
Speaker 3: is the one seems extreme to me, smart television manufacturers

1652
01:19:39,492 --> 01:19:42,333
Speaker 3: would be required to ensure New Zealand apps such as

1653
01:19:42,372 --> 01:19:46,093
Speaker 3: TV and Z Plus and Freeview are given prominence on

1654
01:19:46,213 --> 01:19:49,213
Speaker 3: their content menus. Right now, global streamers such as Apple Plus,

1655
01:19:49,612 --> 01:19:52,492
Speaker 3: Netflix and Amazon have prior a place in many smart

1656
01:19:52,572 --> 01:19:56,812
Speaker 3: TV lineups. I mean my remote as Netflix and Amazon

1657
01:19:56,893 --> 01:20:00,372
Speaker 3: Prime on it one of my remotes. And interestingly enough,

1658
01:20:00,532 --> 01:20:04,612
Speaker 3: my Samsung TV plays Samsung Television, which is fantastic because

1659
01:20:04,612 --> 01:20:06,692
Speaker 3: it's got Cricket Gold as a channel on there. It

1660
01:20:06,853 --> 01:20:10,572
Speaker 3: just plays old cricket games from the It's full rotation.

1661
01:20:11,093 --> 01:20:14,893
Speaker 3: That is a fantastic channel. But the question is is

1662
01:20:15,133 --> 01:20:18,532
Speaker 3: New Zealand content on air? I mean, we have New

1663
01:20:18,652 --> 01:20:21,133
Speaker 3: Zealand and ear and that's because we believe as a nation,

1664
01:20:21,253 --> 01:20:24,412
Speaker 3: it would seem that money Kespas money needs to be spent,

1665
01:20:24,893 --> 01:20:28,212
Speaker 3: should be spent on putting New Zealand on our screens.

1666
01:20:29,053 --> 01:20:31,532
Speaker 3: They are still doing that, but New Zealanders seem to

1667
01:20:31,572 --> 01:20:34,093
Speaker 3: have moved away from the screens that they're putting New

1668
01:20:34,213 --> 01:20:38,213
Speaker 3: Zealand content on. And the likes of Netflix, Amazon and

1669
01:20:38,853 --> 01:20:42,892
Speaker 3: Disney Plus don't necessarily want to have New Zealand's product online.

1670
01:20:43,053 --> 01:20:45,092
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they just go by viewing habits.

1671
01:20:45,173 --> 01:20:45,333
Speaker 4: Right.

1672
01:20:45,532 --> 01:20:50,692
Speaker 2: So on New Zealand's Netflix, there's currently only nine listed

1673
01:20:50,772 --> 01:20:53,692
Speaker 2: New Zealand movies and TV shows. So what does that

1674
01:20:53,853 --> 01:20:54,652
Speaker 2: say about us?

1675
01:20:54,772 --> 01:20:55,932
Speaker 3: Is this on Amazon Prime?

1676
01:20:56,053 --> 01:20:56,093
Speaker 7: No?

1677
01:20:56,173 --> 01:20:59,053
Speaker 2: No, this is on Netflix? Oh okay Netflix. So right now,

1678
01:20:59,093 --> 01:21:01,532
Speaker 2: if you load up Netflix and have a look and

1679
01:21:02,013 --> 01:21:05,612
Speaker 2: look at New Zealand content, there is just nine movies

1680
01:21:05,772 --> 01:21:08,732
Speaker 2: or TV shows listed on New Zealand Netflix. So that's

1681
01:21:08,772 --> 01:21:10,492
Speaker 2: not a good look for us as a country, right

1682
01:21:10,572 --> 01:21:16,293
Speaker 2: because clearly Netflix has algorithms there based on viewing models

1683
01:21:16,452 --> 01:21:20,013
Speaker 2: and what we love to view. And as kiwis, it

1684
01:21:20,133 --> 01:21:23,412
Speaker 2: appears that we are not wanting to watch our own stories.

1685
01:21:23,452 --> 01:21:26,093
Speaker 3: How much stuff is on Amazon Prime. On Amazon Prime

1686
01:21:26,133 --> 01:21:28,092
Speaker 3: had just over ten New Zealand titles in the catalog.

1687
01:21:28,253 --> 01:21:31,013
Speaker 3: That includes my movie The Devil Demito, great movie that's

1688
01:21:31,053 --> 01:21:31,772
Speaker 3: on Amazon Prime.

1689
01:21:31,853 --> 01:21:33,692
Speaker 2: Fantastic that counts.

1690
01:21:33,732 --> 01:21:35,213
Speaker 3: That's a movie from two thousand and seven.

1691
01:21:35,372 --> 01:21:38,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the big question is, I mean, do we

1692
01:21:38,333 --> 01:21:40,973
Speaker 2: want to see our own stories on our screens?

1693
01:21:41,173 --> 01:21:41,933
Speaker 4: And I do.

1694
01:21:42,253 --> 01:21:44,293
Speaker 2: I want to see our own stories on our screens.

1695
01:21:44,372 --> 01:21:47,652
Speaker 2: I don't want most of the entertainment and the content

1696
01:21:47,732 --> 01:21:50,572
Speaker 2: to be Americanized, No doubt it has been and it

1697
01:21:50,772 --> 01:21:53,372
Speaker 2: will continue to be, but I think it's incredibly important

1698
01:21:53,412 --> 01:21:56,333
Speaker 2: that we have our own stories and our own creatives

1699
01:21:56,412 --> 01:22:00,492
Speaker 2: and our own actors and directors and everybody else that

1700
01:22:00,933 --> 01:22:03,932
Speaker 2: is behind the scenes in film and TV. We've got

1701
01:22:03,973 --> 01:22:07,373
Speaker 2: to showcase that stuff and that's worthy of textpayer investment.

1702
01:22:07,853 --> 01:22:11,173
Speaker 2: But at the same the same argument it has to

1703
01:22:11,253 --> 01:22:11,532
Speaker 2: be good.

1704
01:22:11,853 --> 01:22:14,852
Speaker 3: Well, you can say that, but what they're actually asking

1705
01:22:14,933 --> 01:22:17,412
Speaker 3: for is for the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime

1706
01:22:18,133 --> 01:22:20,852
Speaker 3: to pay five percent, like to pay a sort of

1707
01:22:20,933 --> 01:22:24,772
Speaker 3: some kind of five percent levy towards New Zealand production,

1708
01:22:24,893 --> 01:22:27,093
Speaker 3: so they have to actually pay for the content. So

1709
01:22:27,812 --> 01:22:29,572
Speaker 3: you know, you've got New Zealand on ere, They're not

1710
01:22:29,652 --> 01:22:31,333
Speaker 3: only saying you have to play it, but you have

1711
01:22:31,492 --> 01:22:35,173
Speaker 3: to pay for it, which is interesting. I mean there's

1712
01:22:35,213 --> 01:22:37,093
Speaker 3: always a chance that they just go nah and leave

1713
01:22:37,173 --> 01:22:39,732
Speaker 3: New Zealand, right, Yeah, but yeah, what is it that?

1714
01:22:40,133 --> 01:22:41,452
Speaker 3: Why is it that we need to see in New

1715
01:22:41,532 --> 01:22:45,253
Speaker 3: Zealand on our screens? Why is it exactly eight hundred

1716
01:22:45,253 --> 01:22:47,492
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty and what is the kind of

1717
01:22:47,492 --> 01:22:49,133
Speaker 3: stuff from New Zealand that you want to see on

1718
01:22:49,213 --> 01:22:52,333
Speaker 3: your screens? Because if any given time, there are these

1719
01:22:52,532 --> 01:22:54,893
Speaker 3: buzz TV shows out there in the world shows that

1720
01:22:54,933 --> 01:22:57,333
Speaker 3: people are talking about, and if New Zealand made one

1721
01:22:57,333 --> 01:23:01,532
Speaker 3: of those buzz TV shows, then surely the streamers would

1722
01:23:01,532 --> 01:23:05,812
Speaker 3: come flooding in to buy it, right. So what we're

1723
01:23:05,853 --> 01:23:08,173
Speaker 3: saying here is not only we're paying for these shows

1724
01:23:08,452 --> 01:23:12,532
Speaker 3: been played on certain platforms, but not only that, not

1725
01:23:12,692 --> 01:23:14,812
Speaker 3: only do we want New Zealand on air, we want

1726
01:23:14,853 --> 01:23:18,892
Speaker 3: New Zealander New Zealand productions on air where people are watching.

1727
01:23:19,973 --> 01:23:22,452
Speaker 3: So people do have the ability to go to TV

1728
01:23:22,532 --> 01:23:25,412
Speaker 3: and Z Plus I go there a lot. There's some

1729
01:23:25,612 --> 01:23:28,253
Speaker 3: fantastic stuff on there. So not only do we want

1730
01:23:28,293 --> 01:23:30,652
Speaker 3: it there, we want it right in people's faces where

1731
01:23:30,732 --> 01:23:34,213
Speaker 3: they are. So people are drifting to Netflix, So we

1732
01:23:34,372 --> 01:23:37,492
Speaker 3: want New Zealand there bang right there. So not even

1733
01:23:37,492 --> 01:23:40,213
Speaker 3: any effort, but surely if there's a fantastic show, people

1734
01:23:40,253 --> 01:23:42,253
Speaker 3: would just flick over to the other wrap and watch it.

1735
01:23:42,412 --> 01:23:44,333
Speaker 2: Well, what's your take on it? Because you've had a

1736
01:23:44,572 --> 01:23:46,772
Speaker 2: long career and you still continue to have a career

1737
01:23:47,013 --> 01:23:50,652
Speaker 2: in film and TV and that creative side of the industry.

1738
01:23:50,772 --> 01:23:54,173
Speaker 2: Do Netflix have a responsibility to provide some sort of

1739
01:23:54,253 --> 01:23:55,012
Speaker 2: New Zealand content?

1740
01:23:55,093 --> 01:23:55,293
Speaker 1: See?

1741
01:23:55,293 --> 01:23:57,133
Speaker 3: I don't know if they do, but I think they

1742
01:23:57,173 --> 01:23:59,492
Speaker 3: should because I think the industry is a fantastic thing

1743
01:23:59,492 --> 01:24:02,412
Speaker 3: and there's so many creative people involved in it, and

1744
01:24:02,572 --> 01:24:04,852
Speaker 3: we want to keep that industry going. And look, Netflix

1745
01:24:04,893 --> 01:24:06,933
Speaker 3: shoots a lot of stuff down here. Yeah, well, you know,

1746
01:24:07,013 --> 01:24:08,932
Speaker 3: there's a lot of productions that are shot down here.

1747
01:24:09,253 --> 01:24:11,972
Speaker 3: That the exact number, I'm not sure, but Amazon has

1748
01:24:11,973 --> 01:24:13,893
Speaker 3: shot stuff down here before it's shot The Rings of

1749
01:24:13,933 --> 01:24:15,412
Speaker 3: Power turned out to be a terrible show, and they

1750
01:24:15,492 --> 01:24:20,213
Speaker 3: up stick pretty quickly around the COVID times. But so

1751
01:24:20,532 --> 01:24:23,452
Speaker 3: I want it, but do they morally owe us too?

1752
01:24:24,293 --> 01:24:26,692
Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure O.

1753
01:24:26,812 --> 01:24:30,052
Speaker 2: Eight one hundred A. Yeah, I'm mixed on it because

1754
01:24:30,652 --> 01:24:34,492
Speaker 2: things have changed dramatically over the past what five six

1755
01:24:34,612 --> 01:24:36,973
Speaker 2: seven years since these streaming giants have come to the

1756
01:24:37,053 --> 01:24:39,452
Speaker 2: fore across the board when it comes to entertainment. But

1757
01:24:39,532 --> 01:24:43,572
Speaker 2: what is their responsibility to providing New Zealand content? And

1758
01:24:43,692 --> 01:24:46,372
Speaker 2: I think, as you mentioned before, some of these demands

1759
01:24:46,412 --> 01:24:49,053
Speaker 2: from the government are overbearing and probably a bit much.

1760
01:24:49,173 --> 01:24:51,652
Speaker 2: And it may be that Netflix and Amazon and Disney

1761
01:24:51,772 --> 01:24:54,972
Speaker 2: say thanks, but no thanks, you're asking a bit much. Well,

1762
01:24:54,973 --> 01:24:55,812
Speaker 2: you know what you want from you.

1763
01:24:55,893 --> 01:24:58,492
Speaker 3: Look at some Netflix has massive hits from around the world,

1764
01:24:58,572 --> 01:25:01,612
Speaker 3: doesn't it so Squid Game for example, Yeah, so that's

1765
01:25:01,772 --> 01:25:04,612
Speaker 3: a Korean show that has blown up around the world.

1766
01:25:04,853 --> 01:25:06,932
Speaker 3: Do New Zealand just need to make its own squid Game?

1767
01:25:06,973 --> 01:25:08,772
Speaker 3: Do we need to make stuff that the rest of

1768
01:25:08,812 --> 01:25:11,452
Speaker 3: the world wants that that forces Netflix to play it,

1769
01:25:12,333 --> 01:25:15,692
Speaker 3: or Netflix commercially wants to play it, or do we

1770
01:25:15,933 --> 01:25:17,692
Speaker 3: want to make our stuff and force them to play it?

1771
01:25:17,692 --> 01:25:18,452
Speaker 3: Do you see what I'm saying.

1772
01:25:18,853 --> 01:25:21,053
Speaker 2: It's got to be the former, and we've done that right.

1773
01:25:21,093 --> 01:25:23,452
Speaker 2: The Broken Wood Mysteries is the one that was fairly

1774
01:25:23,572 --> 01:25:26,013
Speaker 2: recently that did phenomenally well internationally.

1775
01:25:26,213 --> 01:25:29,133
Speaker 3: Broken Wood Mysteries sells all around the world.

1776
01:25:29,253 --> 01:25:29,732
Speaker 5: Great show.

1777
01:25:29,893 --> 01:25:32,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad loves it. Yeah, absolutely love that. It's

1778
01:25:32,293 --> 01:25:34,173
Speaker 3: a fantastic show. It sells all around the world because

1779
01:25:34,293 --> 01:25:37,133
Speaker 3: it fits into what people want to watch. There's a

1780
01:25:37,333 --> 01:25:40,452
Speaker 3: love around the world for those sort of cozy crime

1781
01:25:40,532 --> 01:25:44,532
Speaker 3: shows like Midsummer Murders and such. What we do in

1782
01:25:44,572 --> 01:25:47,852
Speaker 3: the Shadows, Yeah, well what we're doing, well, what we

1783
01:25:47,973 --> 01:25:50,133
Speaker 3: did in the Shadows is an American production of a

1784
01:25:50,133 --> 01:25:52,093
Speaker 3: New Zealand idea. So it was a New Zealand film

1785
01:25:52,452 --> 01:25:55,812
Speaker 3: that then got a series in the States for effex right,

1786
01:25:56,133 --> 01:25:58,372
Speaker 3: So it was a great show, So does that count.

1787
01:25:58,412 --> 01:26:01,452
Speaker 3: That's kind of seeing they're seeing New Zealand ideas on here.

1788
01:26:01,973 --> 01:26:02,173
Speaker 16: Yeah.

1789
01:26:02,293 --> 01:26:04,173
Speaker 2: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. This is going to

1790
01:26:04,173 --> 01:26:06,093
Speaker 2: be a good discussion. The techs are coming through thick

1791
01:26:06,133 --> 01:26:09,812
Speaker 2: and fast on nine to nine two. But we'll play

1792
01:26:09,853 --> 01:26:11,652
Speaker 2: some messages and come back with some of your some

1793
01:26:11,772 --> 01:26:15,892
Speaker 2: of your calls. It is fourteen past three, good afternoon,

1794
01:26:16,013 --> 01:26:18,772
Speaker 2: seventeen past three. How much do we really care about

1795
01:26:18,812 --> 01:26:21,973
Speaker 2: seeing New Zealand stories and content on our screens? This

1796
01:26:22,053 --> 01:26:24,612
Speaker 2: is on the back of global streamings such as Netflix, Apple,

1797
01:26:24,692 --> 01:26:27,492
Speaker 2: Disney and Amazon would be required to invest in New

1798
01:26:27,572 --> 01:26:30,532
Speaker 2: Zealand productions and content under a range of new media

1799
01:26:30,612 --> 01:26:33,452
Speaker 2: proposals unveiled by the government.

1800
01:26:34,133 --> 01:26:37,093
Speaker 3: And what are the shows in our history that we

1801
01:26:37,333 --> 01:26:42,813
Speaker 3: believe would make it globally? Shows that are so fantastic

1802
01:26:43,013 --> 01:26:46,013
Speaker 3: that Netflix would jump on board and be happy to

1803
01:26:46,173 --> 01:26:49,452
Speaker 3: spend money on because they'd go like a squid game.

1804
01:26:50,093 --> 01:26:53,092
Speaker 3: So looking back in time, what are some fantastic television

1805
01:26:53,133 --> 01:26:54,092
Speaker 3: shows in New Zealand?

1806
01:26:54,173 --> 01:26:56,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. I

1807
01:26:56,173 --> 01:26:59,093
Speaker 2: can think of one outrageous fortune.

1808
01:26:58,893 --> 01:27:02,812
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, hey, So for example, this will be interesting.

1809
01:27:02,853 --> 01:27:05,213
Speaker 3: So for example, a five percent levy would generate approximately

1810
01:27:05,293 --> 01:27:07,973
Speaker 3: twenty five million dollars, so that's what they're saying. So

1811
01:27:08,053 --> 01:27:09,652
Speaker 3: you do it five per levy on the likes of

1812
01:27:09,692 --> 01:27:12,572
Speaker 3: Netflix and Amazon Prime of what they earn, and they

1813
01:27:12,652 --> 01:27:15,652
Speaker 3: invest back into New Zealand television production. See I mean,

1814
01:27:15,732 --> 01:27:19,532
Speaker 3: to make television shows is an incredible expense of particularly

1815
01:27:19,612 --> 01:27:25,573
Speaker 3: drama and as opposed to reality TV shows, it's incredibly expensive.

1816
01:27:25,812 --> 01:27:30,452
Speaker 2: Yah, Tanya, good afternoon to you. So you had a

1817
01:27:30,532 --> 01:27:32,893
Speaker 2: chat to some French ladies about New Zealand programming not

1818
01:27:32,933 --> 01:27:33,452
Speaker 2: too long ago.

1819
01:27:34,492 --> 01:27:37,133
Speaker 23: Yeah, it was very, very strange. I was on a

1820
01:27:37,253 --> 01:27:41,093
Speaker 23: bus arm out of London heading to Stoneheinge for our

1821
01:27:41,213 --> 01:27:46,132
Speaker 23: day trip Core and there were three pension or aged

1822
01:27:46,652 --> 01:27:50,772
Speaker 23: ladies from France on the trip and when they realized

1823
01:27:50,812 --> 01:27:52,972
Speaker 23: I was from New Zealand, they couldn't stop.

1824
01:27:52,893 --> 01:27:56,812
Speaker 21: Raving about the TV series of.

1825
01:27:56,812 --> 01:28:00,492
Speaker 23: Broken Woodness, which I'd never heard of, which is really random.

1826
01:28:00,572 --> 01:28:02,652
Speaker 23: I'd never heard of it, but they were going how

1827
01:28:02,692 --> 01:28:05,612
Speaker 23: amazing it was, and then they wanted to know about

1828
01:28:05,692 --> 01:28:09,333
Speaker 23: New Zealand and whether they should come in bizzards.

1829
01:28:10,293 --> 01:28:13,652
Speaker 2: Which is fantastic and I look hand up honesty, cor

1830
01:28:13,732 --> 01:28:15,932
Speaker 2: I haven't seen too much of the Broken Wood Mysteries,

1831
01:28:15,973 --> 01:28:18,013
Speaker 2: but I know it is a massive hit internationally. It's

1832
01:28:18,013 --> 01:28:19,372
Speaker 2: a huge, it's more so than here.

1833
01:28:19,652 --> 01:28:21,812
Speaker 3: I know a few people that are on the show,

1834
01:28:22,652 --> 01:28:26,412
Speaker 3: Jason Hoyt, great New Zealander, yes, and Fern Sutherland. They're

1835
01:28:26,572 --> 01:28:30,492
Speaker 3: fantastic actors. But they've both told me that it's huge

1836
01:28:30,572 --> 01:28:33,173
Speaker 3: in France, that Broken Wood Mysteries is a bona fide

1837
01:28:33,213 --> 01:28:35,532
Speaker 3: hit in France. It's interesting, isn't it. So they'd be

1838
01:28:35,612 --> 01:28:37,972
Speaker 3: dubbed voices, Yeah.

1839
01:28:37,853 --> 01:28:41,213
Speaker 23: They said it was dubbed in French and so that's

1840
01:28:41,293 --> 01:28:44,852
Speaker 23: quite interesting, but they I mean, it's a sales pitch

1841
01:28:44,933 --> 01:28:45,572
Speaker 23: for New Zealand.

1842
01:28:45,652 --> 01:28:47,973
Speaker 2: I guess certainly is. Yeah, and when it comes to

1843
01:28:48,093 --> 01:28:50,173
Speaker 2: our stories been on our screen tone, you do think

1844
01:28:50,213 --> 01:28:54,253
Speaker 2: it is important that the likes of Netflix maybe comes

1845
01:28:54,293 --> 01:28:57,532
Speaker 2: to the table to put on productions that showcase New Zealand.

1846
01:28:58,732 --> 01:29:01,852
Speaker 23: Yeah, definitely. I think there's definitely scope for that, and

1847
01:29:02,013 --> 01:29:05,093
Speaker 23: I think more and more New Zealanders would probably be

1848
01:29:05,652 --> 01:29:08,173
Speaker 23: chaining into Netflix to watch those sorts of things. I

1849
01:29:08,692 --> 01:29:10,492
Speaker 23: just think that's a one one for everyone.

1850
01:29:10,612 --> 01:29:10,852
Speaker 10: Really.

1851
01:29:11,013 --> 01:29:12,852
Speaker 3: Do you think they should be forced to do that? Though?

1852
01:29:13,293 --> 01:29:15,293
Speaker 3: If they're going to be in New Zealand should be

1853
01:29:17,093 --> 01:29:21,973
Speaker 3: because that's what they're suggesting. They're suggesting this government a

1854
01:29:22,053 --> 01:29:26,452
Speaker 3: government document an overhaul of the system god global streamers

1855
01:29:26,492 --> 01:29:29,333
Speaker 3: such as Netflix, Apple, Disney and Amazon would be required

1856
01:29:29,412 --> 01:29:31,772
Speaker 3: to invest in New Zealand productions and content under a

1857
01:29:31,853 --> 01:29:35,213
Speaker 3: range of new media proposals. That that's that's what they're saying.

1858
01:29:35,893 --> 01:29:39,173
Speaker 3: So that's a levy of One of the suggestions is

1859
01:29:39,253 --> 01:29:42,213
Speaker 3: five percent, So Netflix would have to give five percent

1860
01:29:42,253 --> 01:29:45,012
Speaker 3: of what it earns in New Zealand towards New Zealand productions.

1861
01:29:45,053 --> 01:29:45,772
Speaker 3: Would you support that?

1862
01:29:47,013 --> 01:29:49,532
Speaker 23: Yeah, I guess I probably would in that respect because

1863
01:29:49,572 --> 01:29:52,772
Speaker 23: it's only going to help New Zealand, the film industry

1864
01:29:52,893 --> 01:29:56,412
Speaker 23: and the media industry. I certainly don't don't have a

1865
01:29:56,492 --> 01:29:59,772
Speaker 23: problem with that at all. But whether that's possible or not,

1866
01:29:59,893 --> 01:30:01,732
Speaker 23: I don't know. And whether the Netflix and that will

1867
01:30:01,812 --> 01:30:05,492
Speaker 23: agree with that, I would doubt, but.

1868
01:30:05,652 --> 01:30:07,492
Speaker 1: You know, you never know, you never know. What.

1869
01:30:08,372 --> 01:30:10,012
Speaker 3: Thanks so much for you call, Tania.

1870
01:30:10,253 --> 01:30:13,133
Speaker 2: Appreciate it great to chat. Thank you very much.

1871
01:30:16,853 --> 01:30:21,012
Speaker 1: Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight eighty eighty

1872
01:30:21,133 --> 01:30:22,173
Speaker 1: on news Talk ZENV.

1873
01:30:23,213 --> 01:30:27,012
Speaker 3: Good after noon. We were talking about where the Netflix

1874
01:30:27,053 --> 01:30:29,732
Speaker 3: and Amazon and Apple and such. The streamers, the big

1875
01:30:29,772 --> 01:30:32,652
Speaker 3: international steamers should be forced to play in New Zealand

1876
01:30:32,692 --> 01:30:37,013
Speaker 3: content on their platforms and levied to spend money on

1877
01:30:37,133 --> 01:30:40,333
Speaker 3: New Zealand productions. We asked what shows we think would

1878
01:30:40,492 --> 01:30:44,852
Speaker 3: make it internationally make the muster. Interestingly enough, Netflix has

1879
01:30:44,973 --> 01:30:48,173
Speaker 3: bought The Casketeers that are a New Zealand show paid

1880
01:30:48,213 --> 01:30:51,293
Speaker 3: for by New Zealand their money, and was loved enough

1881
01:30:51,692 --> 01:30:54,492
Speaker 3: by Netflix executives to buy it and play it over

1882
01:30:54,572 --> 01:30:56,852
Speaker 3: in the United States and around the world, which is great.

1883
01:30:57,013 --> 01:30:57,852
Speaker 2: Is it a little bit sure?

1884
01:30:57,853 --> 01:30:58,333
Speaker 3: It's Netflix?

1885
01:30:58,412 --> 01:30:58,572
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1886
01:30:58,732 --> 01:31:00,213
Speaker 2: Is that a little bit chicken and egg though, So

1887
01:31:00,372 --> 01:31:02,973
Speaker 2: you've got to have that investment to be able to

1888
01:31:03,253 --> 01:31:07,173
Speaker 2: create a TV show or a film. It's successful in

1889
01:31:07,253 --> 01:31:10,013
Speaker 2: the domestic market and News Zealand and only then will

1890
01:31:10,093 --> 01:31:12,213
Speaker 2: Netflix pick it up. I mean it's a tough one,

1891
01:31:12,253 --> 01:31:12,532
Speaker 2: isn't it.

1892
01:31:12,973 --> 01:31:19,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, exactly it is. I mean, yeah, this

1893
01:31:19,293 --> 01:31:22,173
Speaker 3: person says Terry t O Stick of the Dump and

1894
01:31:22,333 --> 01:31:25,133
Speaker 3: Meet the Feebles, Meet the Feebles. Yeah, that's shocking movie.

1895
01:31:25,173 --> 01:31:27,692
Speaker 3: Meet the Feebles. Great movie, but shocking movie. Terry t

1896
01:31:27,973 --> 01:31:29,932
Speaker 3: and the Terry t O remake was fantastic as well,

1897
01:31:29,973 --> 01:31:31,852
Speaker 3: but a Stick of the Dump wasn't a New Zealand production.

1898
01:31:32,133 --> 01:31:32,892
Speaker 2: Stig of the Dump.

1899
01:31:32,973 --> 01:31:35,652
Speaker 3: I've never heard of this, I believe of the Dump.

1900
01:31:35,652 --> 01:31:37,293
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember. I think Stick of the Dump

1901
01:31:37,412 --> 01:31:40,812
Speaker 3: was a show where there was sort of a cave person,

1902
01:31:41,253 --> 01:31:43,732
Speaker 3: a caveman who lived in a dump. But I'm pretty

1903
01:31:43,732 --> 01:31:45,973
Speaker 3: sure that was an English show. This Texas says, do

1904
01:31:46,013 --> 01:31:48,293
Speaker 3: you guys seriously think New Zealand even rates a thought

1905
01:31:48,333 --> 01:31:52,092
Speaker 3: to the bosses at Netflix or Amazon? Though it probably doesn't.

1906
01:31:52,572 --> 01:31:55,372
Speaker 3: They probably don't. But the idea of this government document

1907
01:31:55,612 --> 01:32:00,492
Speaker 3: is to levy them and make it, you know, change

1908
01:32:00,532 --> 01:32:02,732
Speaker 3: the law so they to be in New Zealand, they

1909
01:32:02,893 --> 01:32:06,612
Speaker 3: have to pony up a certain amount of money towards

1910
01:32:06,973 --> 01:32:12,012
Speaker 3: New Zealand productions. Aaron, your thoughts on this, Yeah.

1911
01:32:11,893 --> 01:32:16,333
Speaker 4: Hi guys, So two things. Yeah. Firstly, I agree that

1912
01:32:16,933 --> 01:32:19,933
Speaker 4: they should have to put the money in towards some

1913
01:32:20,093 --> 01:32:23,253
Speaker 4: local productions, So I've got no problem with that. You know,

1914
01:32:23,732 --> 01:32:26,972
Speaker 4: if those companies are going to suck, say twenty million

1915
01:32:26,973 --> 01:32:29,893
Speaker 4: dollars a month out of the New Zealand, which is

1916
01:32:30,293 --> 01:32:32,852
Speaker 4: probably in the vicinity of where Netflix is at now,

1917
01:32:32,933 --> 01:32:36,092
Speaker 4: I would have thought then some of that money should

1918
01:32:36,133 --> 01:32:39,173
Speaker 4: be tuning back into productions made here. But I also

1919
01:32:39,333 --> 01:32:42,492
Speaker 4: believe the film commission and ends on the air funding

1920
01:32:42,572 --> 01:32:44,933
Speaker 4: model needs to be flipped on its head. Like the

1921
01:32:45,293 --> 01:32:49,452
Speaker 4: current system as crap. It's all about DEI and ticking

1922
01:32:49,572 --> 01:32:53,372
Speaker 4: boxes and all this other rubbish. Get down to business

1923
01:32:53,692 --> 01:32:57,692
Speaker 4: and start funding shows and movies made by New Zealanders

1924
01:32:57,732 --> 01:33:00,652
Speaker 4: because that's a New Zealand story, not stories that are

1925
01:33:00,853 --> 01:33:03,013
Speaker 4: just set in New Zealand. But as long as it's

1926
01:33:03,053 --> 01:33:06,093
Speaker 4: made here by New Zealanders, I call that New Zealand mate.

1927
01:33:06,652 --> 01:33:10,052
Speaker 4: And then make stuff that world wants to watch. Peter

1928
01:33:10,173 --> 01:33:12,893
Speaker 4: Jackson's proven it, Tiger's proven it. Teewis can do it.

1929
01:33:13,013 --> 01:33:15,652
Speaker 4: They can do it really, really well. So let's start

1930
01:33:15,732 --> 01:33:18,692
Speaker 4: backing a few winners and stop backing some of the

1931
01:33:18,812 --> 01:33:22,053
Speaker 4: crap that gets made just because it's in brackets. New

1932
01:33:22,133 --> 01:33:26,213
Speaker 4: Zealand story and the cast and all the staff take

1933
01:33:26,253 --> 01:33:28,372
Speaker 4: a whole lot of boxes to keep people happy. I

1934
01:33:28,412 --> 01:33:30,692
Speaker 4: don't care who makes it in this country as well

1935
01:33:30,732 --> 01:33:32,852
Speaker 4: as it's made here by Tewis, so.

1936
01:33:33,173 --> 01:33:35,372
Speaker 3: Made here in terms of helping out the business and

1937
01:33:35,452 --> 01:33:38,412
Speaker 3: money going back into the system rather than necessary telling

1938
01:33:38,532 --> 01:33:43,692
Speaker 3: new sealing stories. So you could have a horrific serial

1939
01:33:43,853 --> 01:33:48,372
Speaker 3: killer series made in the Cargo, which made In the

1940
01:33:48,492 --> 01:33:51,452
Speaker 3: Cargo out to be a town in Scotland or something.

1941
01:33:51,492 --> 01:33:53,933
Speaker 3: You wouldn't care as long as as long as the

1942
01:33:53,973 --> 01:33:55,012
Speaker 3: production was in New Zealand.

1943
01:33:56,173 --> 01:33:59,892
Speaker 4: Absolutely, because that's creating jobs and creating a screen industry

1944
01:33:59,933 --> 01:34:02,293
Speaker 4: that can stand on its own two feet. But when

1945
01:34:02,333 --> 01:34:07,013
Speaker 4: you're making really really naffed short films and the Commission's

1946
01:34:07,013 --> 01:34:09,572
Speaker 4: putting tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars

1947
01:34:09,572 --> 01:34:12,372
Speaker 4: into that brubbish that no one watches, it's a complete

1948
01:34:12,412 --> 01:34:16,172
Speaker 4: waste of time. Record companies used to Yeah.

1949
01:34:16,652 --> 01:34:21,093
Speaker 3: It's an interesting situation I think with government funding. There

1950
01:34:21,133 --> 01:34:24,772
Speaker 3: was this fantastic story about Flight of the Concourse, you know,

1951
01:34:24,853 --> 01:34:28,772
Speaker 3: that incredibly successful New Zealand duo that went over and

1952
01:34:28,853 --> 01:34:30,492
Speaker 3: they made their show in New York, yep And it

1953
01:34:30,572 --> 01:34:33,253
Speaker 3: was funded by HBO. Yes, And they were saying that

1954
01:34:33,293 --> 01:34:37,892
Speaker 3: they got more less notes from HBO than they did

1955
01:34:38,053 --> 01:34:39,932
Speaker 3: from they were doing a little skit on a comedy

1956
01:34:39,933 --> 01:34:41,412
Speaker 3: show in New Zealand and the two of them, they

1957
01:34:41,492 --> 01:34:43,973
Speaker 3: got less notes from HBO for this entire series than

1958
01:34:43,973 --> 01:34:47,452
Speaker 3: they did for the government funded skit show they made

1959
01:34:47,572 --> 01:34:50,973
Speaker 3: in New Zealand. So really to make people succeed and

1960
01:34:51,093 --> 01:34:53,852
Speaker 3: make fantastic shows, this is the HBO model. You give them.

1961
01:34:53,853 --> 01:34:55,812
Speaker 3: You find talented people and you give them money and

1962
01:34:55,853 --> 01:34:57,772
Speaker 3: you get them to do what they want to do,

1963
01:34:58,372 --> 01:35:01,532
Speaker 3: rather than choosing what they want to do, choosing what

1964
01:35:01,692 --> 01:35:03,852
Speaker 3: you think is the right thing for them to make.

1965
01:35:04,652 --> 01:35:08,692
Speaker 3: So what you're really saying is great idea, great people,

1966
01:35:09,133 --> 01:35:11,732
Speaker 3: go and make it, and let's try and compete in

1967
01:35:11,812 --> 01:35:15,053
Speaker 3: the same way as as as if it was an

1968
01:35:15,053 --> 01:35:17,293
Speaker 3: international production and any kind of idea that you would

1969
01:35:17,293 --> 01:35:19,173
Speaker 3: take to a Hollywood studio, I.

1970
01:35:19,173 --> 01:35:22,972
Speaker 4: Guess absolutely, because that's the only way to create jobs.

1971
01:35:23,013 --> 01:35:26,652
Speaker 4: And New Zealand's got a ton of really really creative people,

1972
01:35:26,853 --> 01:35:30,732
Speaker 4: especially in the Maori and Pacific communities, so you know,

1973
01:35:30,853 --> 01:35:33,812
Speaker 4: let's get them into well paid jobs creating stuff for

1974
01:35:33,973 --> 01:35:39,132
Speaker 4: the world, not just creating these terrible, terrible beverage stories.

1975
01:35:39,893 --> 01:35:40,492
Speaker 4: Don't want to watch.

1976
01:35:40,652 --> 01:35:44,492
Speaker 3: Yeah, what, what's a New Zealand production that you rate

1977
01:35:44,572 --> 01:35:45,333
Speaker 3: that's been on TV?

1978
01:35:47,412 --> 01:35:51,972
Speaker 4: Okay, that's going to sound really dumb. I think Country

1979
01:35:52,053 --> 01:35:55,933
Speaker 4: Calendar should be sold to every living lifestyle channel in

1980
01:35:56,013 --> 01:36:00,893
Speaker 4: the world. Great, it's motivational, that's a good show. But

1981
01:36:01,333 --> 01:36:04,253
Speaker 4: some of our cooking shows. That Van Derhusen guy out

1982
01:36:04,253 --> 01:36:05,772
Speaker 4: of Auckland that used to do the one with the

1983
01:36:05,812 --> 01:36:08,652
Speaker 4: food truck. Then thing that would stand up on any

1984
01:36:08,732 --> 01:36:10,572
Speaker 4: food channel in the world. So we need some good

1985
01:36:10,612 --> 01:36:13,173
Speaker 4: sales people as well pumping that stuff.

1986
01:36:13,532 --> 01:36:16,093
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think those shows probably do sell

1987
01:36:16,133 --> 01:36:18,053
Speaker 3: it around in the world. There are a lot of

1988
01:36:18,093 --> 01:36:20,893
Speaker 3: shows that do sell and they sit in channels and

1989
01:36:20,973 --> 01:36:22,452
Speaker 3: maybe in the middle of the day or whatever. They're

1990
01:36:22,452 --> 01:36:27,812
Speaker 3: not necessarily primetime. But say Country Calendar, for example, it's

1991
01:36:28,013 --> 01:36:30,772
Speaker 3: a fantastic show. It's beautiful, but then you compare it

1992
01:36:30,812 --> 01:36:33,572
Speaker 3: to something like Clarkson's Farm, which is just a little

1993
01:36:33,612 --> 01:36:36,852
Speaker 3: bit more commercial and visceral. You know, I'm talking a

1994
01:36:36,893 --> 01:36:38,932
Speaker 3: lot about that at the moment. It's a great show there,

1995
01:36:39,053 --> 01:36:41,572
Speaker 3: but you know, you want to showcase New Zealand. You

1996
01:36:41,732 --> 01:36:45,572
Speaker 3: get someone like a big, big star like Jeremy Clarkson

1997
01:36:45,612 --> 01:36:47,093
Speaker 3: and get him over to be on a farm in

1998
01:36:47,173 --> 01:36:49,173
Speaker 3: New Zealand. Then you might be able to get something

1999
01:36:49,253 --> 01:36:52,253
Speaker 3: that's more global, yeah, or a.

2000
01:36:52,293 --> 01:36:55,052
Speaker 4: Star from here to do it, you know, like sham

2001
01:36:55,133 --> 01:37:00,253
Speaker 4: Neil's got his own winery. Dounce out still be angry

2002
01:37:00,253 --> 01:37:02,333
Speaker 4: about politics and stuff, and you've got to show.

2003
01:37:03,933 --> 01:37:05,652
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your call, Eric, appreciate it.

2004
01:37:05,732 --> 01:37:09,253
Speaker 2: I mean just thinking about the controversy over the government

2005
01:37:09,293 --> 01:37:11,372
Speaker 2: funding for The Lord of the Rings, right, yeap, And

2006
01:37:11,652 --> 01:37:16,372
Speaker 2: clearly Lord of the Rings the actual story has nothing

2007
01:37:16,492 --> 01:37:19,652
Speaker 2: rarely to do with New Zealand. But how beneficial has

2008
01:37:19,692 --> 01:37:23,012
Speaker 2: that movie franchise been to New Zealand and tourism? People

2009
01:37:23,133 --> 01:37:25,852
Speaker 2: always talking about hobbiton or come into New Zealand to

2010
01:37:25,893 --> 01:37:28,333
Speaker 2: do the Lord of the Rings trail and all that

2011
01:37:28,492 --> 01:37:32,052
Speaker 2: controversy was just for nothing. Clearly it was incredibly beneficial

2012
01:37:32,053 --> 01:37:34,013
Speaker 2: that one hundred and fifty million that the government put in.

2013
01:37:34,333 --> 01:37:35,933
Speaker 2: We got that back and then some.

2014
01:37:36,293 --> 01:37:39,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, well now people are confused and they think the

2015
01:37:39,333 --> 01:37:42,372
Speaker 3: Earth is New Zealand. It's been fantastic. Give the funding

2016
01:37:42,412 --> 01:37:46,532
Speaker 3: to Moon TV. That's Leehart's fantastic TV show from back

2017
01:37:46,572 --> 01:37:48,532
Speaker 3: in the day. But the thing with that show was

2018
01:37:48,572 --> 01:37:51,412
Speaker 3: he mainly funded himself, so he would get sponsors on

2019
01:37:51,492 --> 01:37:53,893
Speaker 3: board to make that show and then he's cut it

2020
01:37:54,173 --> 01:37:56,293
Speaker 3: up into a bunch of bits and it's huge on YouTube,

2021
01:37:56,572 --> 01:37:59,133
Speaker 3: you know, and you can also go to MoonTV dot

2022
01:37:59,173 --> 01:38:01,012
Speaker 3: cod and z I think it is and watch it. Yeah,

2023
01:38:01,053 --> 01:38:02,812
Speaker 3: so that's the other thing that we're competing with is

2024
01:38:02,893 --> 01:38:07,133
Speaker 3: you take YouTube, that is the ultimate democracy on what

2025
01:38:07,412 --> 01:38:09,973
Speaker 3: is good because people put everything up, they make it

2026
01:38:10,013 --> 01:38:12,612
Speaker 3: for free, they put it up and if it's good,

2027
01:38:12,732 --> 01:38:15,053
Speaker 3: it rises to the top, and then the people that

2028
01:38:15,173 --> 01:38:16,933
Speaker 3: make it can make a whole lot of money. And

2029
01:38:17,053 --> 01:38:19,253
Speaker 3: that's a really hard thing to compete with if you're

2030
01:38:19,253 --> 01:38:22,412
Speaker 3: a funding body because you have to pick and choose

2031
01:38:23,213 --> 01:38:26,333
Speaker 3: and put money in certain places. But YouTube people make

2032
01:38:26,372 --> 01:38:28,852
Speaker 3: it and then what rises with the best rise at stop.

2033
01:38:28,933 --> 01:38:31,372
Speaker 3: So there's a million ideas and maybe two come up,

2034
01:38:31,492 --> 01:38:34,412
Speaker 3: but there's no investment from YouTube into those ideas, but.

2035
01:38:34,532 --> 01:38:37,572
Speaker 2: Just one group of creators from New Zealand. I think

2036
01:38:37,572 --> 01:38:41,333
Speaker 2: they call themselves Viva La Dirty. Very very popular on YouTube.

2037
01:38:41,372 --> 01:38:43,892
Speaker 2: I think they've got seven million subscribers exactly. I don't

2038
01:38:43,893 --> 01:38:46,572
Speaker 2: think they got one single dime from New Zealand on air.

2039
01:38:46,492 --> 01:38:49,053
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, not for a long time. So yeah, Viva

2040
01:38:49,253 --> 01:38:52,492
Speaker 3: Dirt League hugely successful. Pas to work with them. They

2041
01:38:52,732 --> 01:38:55,253
Speaker 3: work at Enzime, two of the main guys from that

2042
01:38:55,853 --> 01:38:58,372
Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, they've just battled their way up to

2043
01:38:58,452 --> 01:39:01,133
Speaker 3: the up the top. And you know, they did give

2044
01:39:01,173 --> 01:39:04,452
Speaker 3: a little recently. I think they raised ten million dollars

2045
01:39:04,492 --> 01:39:06,772
Speaker 3: to build their studios out in West Auckland and they're

2046
01:39:07,053 --> 01:39:11,412
Speaker 3: hugely popular and doing really well absolutely, but struggled to

2047
01:39:11,412 --> 01:39:12,572
Speaker 3: get any funding in New Zealand.

2048
01:39:12,692 --> 01:39:16,372
Speaker 2: Yeah, some a lot of great teachs coming through on

2049
01:39:17,253 --> 01:39:20,732
Speaker 2: shows that would have done great internationally as well. We'll

2050
01:39:20,732 --> 01:39:23,892
Speaker 2: get to some of those very shortly. It is twenty

2051
01:39:24,013 --> 01:39:24,772
Speaker 2: eight to four.

2052
01:39:27,492 --> 01:39:29,812
Speaker 1: US talks the headlines.

2053
01:39:29,372 --> 01:39:32,532
Speaker 14: With blue bubble taxis. It's no trouble with a blue bubble.

Speaker 14: Sadler is accusing Johnson and Johnson of misleading consumers over

2058
01:39:43,093 --> 01:39:46,253
Speaker 14: some cold and flu products which evidence showed had an

2059
01:39:46,333 --> 01:39:50,133
Speaker 14: ineffective key ingredient. A woman from among A five with

2060
01:39:50,293 --> 01:39:53,532
Speaker 14: life threatening dehydration was shocked to find she had the

2061
01:39:53,612 --> 01:39:57,492
Speaker 14: Victorian era disease cholera. Health officials say there is no

2062
01:39:57,652 --> 01:40:02,053
Speaker 14: public health risk and she's been treated with antibiotics. The

2063

Speaker 14: Save Science Coalition says about five hundred and seventy public

2064
01:40:05,452 --> 01:40:09,612
Speaker 14: science roles have been lost under this government. A tropical

2065
01:40:09,692 --> 01:40:14,093
Speaker 14: cyclone is bearing down on West Australia's Port Headland, which

2066
01:40:14,133 --> 01:40:18,492
Speaker 14: could intensify to an extreme category five and evacuation center's

2067

Speaker 14: been set up and the local iron ore port has closed.

Speaker 14: Fruitfly controls have lifted in Auckland's Pappatoy Toy after a

2069
01:40:26,333 --> 01:40:29,812

2072
01:40:37,492 --> 01:40:38,852
Speaker 14: to Matt Eathan Tyler Adams.

2073
01:40:39,013 --> 01:40:41,372
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, srey Leane. And we've asked the

2074
01:40:41,452 --> 01:40:44,333
Speaker 2: question how much do New Zealand stories and contact our

2075
01:40:44,412 --> 01:40:47,213
Speaker 2: content bean on our screens really matter. It's on the

2076
01:40:47,253 --> 01:40:51,092
Speaker 2: back of the government looking at forcing the global streaming

2077
01:40:51,173 --> 01:40:54,452
Speaker 2: giants such as Netflix, Apple, Disney and Amazon to come

2078
01:40:54,532 --> 01:40:57,053
Speaker 2: to the table and help. We must produce our contents.

2079
01:40:57,853 --> 01:41:01,013
Speaker 2: Plenty of great texts on shows in New Zealand that

2080
01:41:01,173 --> 01:41:06,452
Speaker 2: would have done well internationally. Guys who remembers funny business

2081
01:41:06,532 --> 01:41:09,773
Speaker 2: classic KIW TVC is absolutely outstanding.

2082
01:41:10,853 --> 01:41:11,532
Speaker 3: Yes, will you do it?

2083
01:41:11,933 --> 01:41:15,452
Speaker 2: Yes? Sam Neil is apparently on TikTok and doing some

2084
01:41:15,532 --> 01:41:18,572
Speaker 2: great dry humor from his farm. Would make a great

2085
01:41:18,612 --> 01:41:19,772
Speaker 2: TV series from Sue.

2086
01:41:20,133 --> 01:41:23,652
Speaker 3: Yeah, Screaming Reels which sold to the Aussies. Yes, Streaming

2087
01:41:23,692 --> 01:41:26,412
Speaker 3: Reels was Leehart's Fishing Show. It was interesting because it's

2088
01:41:26,412 --> 01:41:28,133
Speaker 3: the comedy fishing show where they never caught any fish.

2089
01:41:28,213 --> 01:41:31,692
Speaker 3: But it was sold to Australian Television and they sort

2090
01:41:31,732 --> 01:41:34,452
Speaker 3: of didn't mention that it was a comedy show, and

2091
01:41:34,572 --> 01:41:37,212
Speaker 3: so it just went out on air on Australian television,

2092
01:41:37,253 --> 01:41:40,412
Speaker 3: I think on Channel seven over there on seven and

2093
01:41:40,612 --> 01:41:42,932
Speaker 3: people just went, what is this. This is the stupidest

2094
01:41:42,933 --> 01:41:44,692
Speaker 3: fishing show. Even they don't know what they're talking about.

2095
01:41:44,732 --> 01:41:46,972
Speaker 3: They don't care any fish. If you know Lee Hat's humor,

2096
01:41:47,173 --> 01:41:49,532
Speaker 3: if you didn't know that he was joking, that would

2097
01:41:49,532 --> 01:41:52,452
Speaker 3: be quite a shocking TV classic ausies.

2098
01:41:52,812 --> 01:41:55,452
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighties the number to cool.

2099
01:41:55,853 --> 01:41:59,532
Speaker 13: Hey you, Beryl, Hello Siah, Nearly going to sleep after

2100
01:41:59,572 --> 01:42:00,213
Speaker 13: all that chat?

2101
01:42:01,652 --> 01:42:05,812
Speaker 3: Thanks are I thought it was sintillating, chair Beryl.

2102
01:42:08,572 --> 01:42:12,333
Speaker 13: Guys when you went to sleep, listen, I'll be honest

2103
01:42:12,372 --> 01:42:16,013
Speaker 13: with you. I'm going to stick my south out like

2104
01:42:16,093 --> 01:42:18,333
Speaker 13: a branch on a tree to say I feel quite

2105
01:42:18,452 --> 01:42:22,772
Speaker 13: negative about New Zealand content. Putting aside Peter Jackson, who

2106
01:42:22,893 --> 01:42:25,893
Speaker 13: is quite brilliant and brought money into New Zealand, and

2107
01:42:26,053 --> 01:42:29,213
Speaker 13: that woman that wrote the book on the illusionists. I

2108
01:42:29,253 --> 01:42:31,852
Speaker 13: think it was about Denniston and the gold Rush was

2109
01:42:31,973 --> 01:42:38,292
Speaker 13: something down there. Most New Zealand stuff I just avoid

2110
01:42:38,612 --> 01:42:41,812
Speaker 13: and if I've heard something good about it, and I

2111
01:42:41,973 --> 01:42:44,852
Speaker 13: am a proud New Zealander, I mean, I'll give you

2112
01:42:44,893 --> 01:42:48,253
Speaker 13: an example. I try on juke last night because I

2113
01:42:48,372 --> 01:42:52,492
Speaker 13: haven't got the cable television. I thought, well, I'll listening

2114
01:42:52,612 --> 01:42:56,213
Speaker 13: to this and it was eleven thirty last night on

2115
01:42:56,372 --> 01:43:00,333
Speaker 13: juke called friggin' dangerous brow on the Road. I thought, oh, well,

2116
01:43:00,372 --> 01:43:03,812
Speaker 13: local comedy. I feel like a laugh before bed, and anyway,

2117
01:43:03,853 --> 01:43:06,372
Speaker 13: it just said the boys arrived in Haker ticker and

2118
01:43:06,532 --> 01:43:09,532
Speaker 13: realize they know next to nothing. I've tuned into it

2119
01:43:10,133 --> 01:43:14,372
Speaker 13: and I could hardly find anything. And honestly, I've got

2120
01:43:14,452 --> 01:43:17,492
Speaker 13: an open humor. I hardly anything at all that I

2121
01:43:17,652 --> 01:43:21,572
Speaker 13: found to laugh at. I think Shortland Street is short

2122
01:43:21,652 --> 01:43:25,293
Speaker 13: Brain Street. And I just think that these people that

2123
01:43:25,572 --> 01:43:30,293
Speaker 13: want to write something for TV, they really need to

2124
01:43:30,333 --> 01:43:33,572
Speaker 13: get their act together. I mean, guys, New Zealand has

2125
01:43:33,652 --> 01:43:36,213
Speaker 13: got a dry sense of humor. That's fine. And I'm

2126
01:43:36,253 --> 01:43:38,692
Speaker 13: not telling you I haven't been to the odd movie

2127
01:43:38,933 --> 01:43:42,173
Speaker 13: that's of New Zealand that I haven't enjoyed. There has

2128
01:43:42,253 --> 01:43:45,333
Speaker 13: been the very odd one, so odd that I'd run

2129
01:43:45,372 --> 01:43:47,812
Speaker 13: out and buy Losso when I found one. But you know,

2130
01:43:48,293 --> 01:43:50,612
Speaker 13: at the end of the day, you go to a

2131
01:43:50,692 --> 01:43:54,892
Speaker 13: picture theater and there are some obvious humorous parts and stuff,

2132
01:43:55,133 --> 01:43:58,133
Speaker 13: and a lot of New Zealands are sittingy with dead

2133
01:43:58,213 --> 01:44:03,493
Speaker 13: pans faces not laughing. So maybe it's New Zealand. New Zealanders.

2134
01:44:03,572 --> 01:44:05,532
Speaker 13: They do have a dry sense of humor. I'm a

2135
01:44:05,572 --> 01:44:09,492
Speaker 13: New Zealander, but there's very little I would say that

2136
01:44:10,133 --> 01:44:14,012
Speaker 13: we're freddy looking at and I don't think Netflix should

2137
01:44:14,093 --> 01:44:17,612
Speaker 13: be encouraged to take anything of New Zealand until some

2138
01:44:17,772 --> 01:44:19,173
Speaker 13: of these writers improve.

2139
01:44:19,812 --> 01:44:22,812
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yes, she's gone hard on, but you know,

2140
01:44:22,933 --> 01:44:24,452
Speaker 3: the New Zealand sense of humor. You've got to say

2141
01:44:24,452 --> 01:44:27,612
Speaker 3: that Taikerway TD probably personified that New Zealand sense of

2142
01:44:27,692 --> 01:44:32,092
Speaker 3: humor and movies like Boy and Hunt for the Wilder People,

2143
01:44:32,333 --> 01:44:35,692
Speaker 3: fantastic movie Hunt for the Wilder People and as you say,

2144
01:44:36,093 --> 01:44:38,133
Speaker 3: what we do in the Shadows, and he's gone on

2145
01:44:38,173 --> 01:44:42,293
Speaker 3: to be hugely successful around the world. So that sense,

2146
01:44:42,293 --> 01:44:44,213
Speaker 3: if that New Zealand sense of humor and flight of

2147
01:44:44,253 --> 01:44:46,013
Speaker 3: the concords, Light of the Concords, I mean, I know

2148
01:44:46,053 --> 01:44:48,933
Speaker 3: they're part of the same friend group, so you know.

2149
01:44:49,173 --> 01:44:52,252
Speaker 2: It wasn't that in on air they couldn't really understand

2150
01:44:52,293 --> 01:44:54,452
Speaker 2: the humor. And shame on them because then, as you said,

2151
01:44:54,492 --> 01:44:56,492
Speaker 2: they took it to New York, made it in America,

2152
01:44:56,853 --> 01:45:00,293
Speaker 2: massive hit internationally, and New Zealand on he didn't get it.

2153
01:45:00,452 --> 01:45:02,412
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's one of those kind of weird things.

2154
01:45:02,452 --> 01:45:04,253
Speaker 3: So you say to Netflix you have to play, or

2155
01:45:04,412 --> 01:45:06,213
Speaker 3: that you have to pay a levy to make New

2156
01:45:06,293 --> 01:45:09,452
Speaker 3: Zealand stuff, there'll be another way. Look at it. Is

2157
01:45:09,612 --> 01:45:11,812
Speaker 3: the New Zealand stuff that's so good that they want

2158
01:45:11,853 --> 01:45:13,893
Speaker 3: to grab it, like you say, for the casketiers and

2159
01:45:14,532 --> 01:45:16,452
Speaker 3: you know, hunt for the Will to people be incredibly

2160
01:45:16,452 --> 01:45:20,612
Speaker 3: successful globally and as we said before, we're doing the

2161
01:45:20,652 --> 01:45:23,173
Speaker 3: show's becoming an e fix TV show overseas.

2162
01:45:23,293 --> 01:45:26,412
Speaker 2: But becking ourselves rather than relying on the government to

2163
01:45:26,532 --> 01:45:28,933
Speaker 2: strong arm them into coffin up.

2164
01:45:29,093 --> 01:45:31,452
Speaker 3: Yeah, although I would support the government strong arming them

2165
01:45:31,452 --> 01:45:33,613
Speaker 3: into coughing up because I think the industry is fantastic

2166
01:45:33,692 --> 01:45:34,972
Speaker 3: and I want people to have work.

2167
01:45:35,053 --> 01:45:37,293
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good, right, Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten

2187
01:46:27,333 --> 01:46:29,173
Speaker 3: of that with the BBC. Unfortunately you couldn't hear it

2188
01:46:29,293 --> 01:46:31,732
Speaker 3: or really see it. It was dark and mumby.

2189

01:46:58,732 --> 01:47:02,412
Speaker 2: MB thirteen to four, speaking about TV shows we should

2198
01:47:02,452 --> 01:47:03,213
Speaker 2: be getting behind?

2199
01:47:03,572 --> 01:47:05,612
Speaker 3: Yes. Johnoy Pryor has been a big name in New

2200
01:47:05,692 --> 01:47:08,253
Speaker 3: Zealand media for a couple of decades, now hit TV show,

2201
01:47:08,492 --> 01:47:11,372
Speaker 3: Massive Social Media Presence, Stunts, Pranks and currently on the

01:47:14,372 --> 01:47:16,293
Speaker 3: he's going out on his own with a non Ben

2204
01:47:16,412 --> 01:47:18,812
Speaker 3: show he's written, produced and start in a new comedy

2205
01:47:19,293 --> 01:47:22,452
Speaker 3: starting on TV three tonight at eight thirty pm and

2206
01:47:22,612 --> 01:47:25,812
Speaker 3: on demand on three now. And he's here with us.

2207
01:47:25,933 --> 01:47:28,772
Speaker 3: So John O tell us about the new show, Vince.

2208
01:47:29,093 --> 01:47:34,452
Speaker 5: Well, it's basically about a self assess narcissistic broadcaster who

2209
01:47:35,093 --> 01:47:38,452
Speaker 5: loses his job after an unfortunate incident at a children's

2210
01:47:38,492 --> 01:47:41,533
Speaker 5: hospital whereas his trousers come down and live on television

2211
01:47:41,572 --> 01:47:44,933
Speaker 5: and so essentially canceled, and he's trying to claw his

2212
01:47:45,053 --> 01:47:46,732
Speaker 5: way back and get his job.

2213
01:47:46,612 --> 01:47:48,612
Speaker 3: Back, but he doesn't pull his trousers down. His trousers

2214
01:47:48,652 --> 01:47:49,093
Speaker 3: just come down.

2215
01:47:49,293 --> 01:47:50,093
Speaker 5: They just come down.

2216
01:47:50,173 --> 01:47:53,732
Speaker 3: But that's a bit of a plot point, okay, because

2217
01:47:53,772 --> 01:47:55,572
Speaker 3: this happened to you, didn't it At Christmas in the park.

2218
01:47:56,492 --> 01:47:58,612
Speaker 3: You were getting a photo with some kids and your

2219
01:47:58,652 --> 01:48:01,853
Speaker 3: pants came down. But that wasn't on purpose, that was unintentional.

2220
01:48:01,933 --> 01:48:04,333
Speaker 5: I had my arms around both children as their mother

2221
01:48:04,452 --> 01:48:07,253
Speaker 5: was taking the photo, and the exact moment I'm pretty

2222
01:48:07,253 --> 01:48:11,012
Speaker 5: sure she hit hit the photo button, the pants came down,

2223
01:48:11,293 --> 01:48:16,053
Speaker 5: some vaping scllywag come up behind, and yeah, yeah it was.

2224
01:48:16,253 --> 01:48:18,093
Speaker 5: It was a textbook down trail though. We'll give that

2225
01:48:18,213 --> 01:48:19,133
Speaker 5: to The.

2226
01:48:19,133 --> 01:48:21,372
Speaker 3: Wiggles have been very careful about things like that, got

2227
01:48:21,412 --> 01:48:23,293
Speaker 3: a lot of protocols in place when they're around kids.

2228
01:48:23,293 --> 01:48:25,452
Speaker 3: They got their their fingers up, the finger guns, the

2229
01:48:25,492 --> 01:48:25,932
Speaker 3: finger games.

2230
01:48:25,933 --> 01:48:27,532
Speaker 5: We had a photo with them and you go to

2231
01:48:27,532 --> 01:48:29,412
Speaker 5: put your arms around them. They're like, no, no, slit's

2232
01:48:29,492 --> 01:48:29,972
Speaker 5: finger guns.

2233
01:48:30,013 --> 01:48:32,692
Speaker 3: The finger guns was invented so you could always see

2234
01:48:32,692 --> 01:48:35,772
Speaker 3: their hands. So everything was there was no questions ever

2235
01:48:35,812 --> 01:48:37,772
Speaker 3: asked of the Wiggles. So you've done a lot of

2236
01:48:38,253 --> 01:48:41,213
Speaker 3: I guess skip Baits comedy over the years with you

2237
01:48:41,293 --> 01:48:43,692
Speaker 3: know Johno's New Show and The Jonavan Ben Show, but

2238
01:48:43,973 --> 01:48:46,293
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a step up having to write

2239
01:48:46,452 --> 01:48:49,812
Speaker 3: full episodes and a series arc. How was that It

2240
01:48:49,933 --> 01:48:50,213
Speaker 3: was a.

2241
01:48:50,372 --> 01:48:52,732
Speaker 5: Huge learning experience, to be honest, mate. I know you've

2242
01:48:52,732 --> 01:48:56,652
Speaker 5: obviously you've written a movie before and deviled in it before,

2243
01:48:56,692 --> 01:48:58,452
Speaker 5: but you learn so much along the way, and it

2244
01:48:58,572 --> 01:49:02,133
Speaker 5: was actually really very satisfying and humbling experience, to be honest,

2245
01:49:02,213 --> 01:49:05,973
Speaker 5: because Jonathan Ben absolutely loved the years that we had

2246
01:49:06,093 --> 01:49:09,053
Speaker 5: making that show. But it was such a a will wind,

2247
01:49:09,213 --> 01:49:10,933
Speaker 5: you know, like a week to week will when we

2248
01:49:11,053 --> 01:49:13,412
Speaker 5: were just meeting this deadline of Thursday night and Friday

2249
01:49:13,452 --> 01:49:15,532
Speaker 5: night whenever it was on air, and so you never

2250
01:49:15,853 --> 01:49:19,452
Speaker 5: as it was happening, got to really appreciate what was happening. Yeah,

2251
01:49:20,333 --> 01:49:21,532
Speaker 5: it's not till after the offet.

2252
01:49:22,093 --> 01:49:23,892
Speaker 3: Like a radio show, it just goes and goes and goes.

2253
01:49:24,253 --> 01:49:26,452
Speaker 5: Never like one day and fifty years we were sitting

2254
01:49:26,492 --> 01:49:29,572
Speaker 5: back and oh yeah we did. Some didn't appreciate it

2255
01:49:29,612 --> 01:49:31,253
Speaker 5: at the time, but yeah, so I guess the difference

2256
01:49:31,293 --> 01:49:33,612
Speaker 5: between when we're making that show and to what this was.

2257
01:49:33,652 --> 01:49:36,333
Speaker 5: It was a very slow moving train. Like you you

2258
01:49:36,452 --> 01:49:38,852
Speaker 5: write a pilot script you see, if a network wants it,

2259
01:49:38,893 --> 01:49:40,372
Speaker 5: then you have to apply for your zealing on air

2260
01:49:40,412 --> 01:49:41,972
Speaker 5: funding and they give you some development money.

2261
01:49:42,013 --> 01:49:42,412
Speaker 3: So it's all.

2262
01:49:42,893 --> 01:49:46,133
Speaker 5: It was all very slow, but actually in being so slow,

2263
01:49:46,173 --> 01:49:48,732
Speaker 5: you get to appreciate and really put your all into

2264
01:49:48,772 --> 01:49:49,772
Speaker 5: each step of the process.

2265
01:49:50,053 --> 01:49:52,372
Speaker 3: So you feel like you had the script just absolutely

2266
01:49:52,452 --> 01:49:54,812
Speaker 3: screwed down by the time you started shooting. Yeah, because

2267
01:49:54,853 --> 01:49:57,892
Speaker 3: it had been like three or four years by the time. Yeah,

2268
01:49:58,093 --> 01:50:01,492
Speaker 3: and I would say, very slim chance of you getting

2269
01:50:01,492 --> 01:50:01,812
Speaker 3: it on here.

2270
01:50:01,973 --> 01:50:03,812
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a very surprised when when the funding

2271
01:50:03,933 --> 01:50:06,812
Speaker 5: came through, and it was the whole thing was surreal.

2272
01:50:06,933 --> 01:50:09,652
Speaker 5: I didn't really expect the funding to it through, and yeah,

2273
01:50:09,812 --> 01:50:13,133
Speaker 5: just thanks to TV three for taking a gamble on it.

2274
01:50:13,253 --> 01:50:17,013
Speaker 5: But you turn up to work and you probably had

2275
01:50:17,053 --> 01:50:18,612
Speaker 5: this when you guys did your movie. You turn up

2276
01:50:18,612 --> 01:50:20,652
Speaker 5: to it and you go, oh, this dumb idea that

2277
01:50:20,893 --> 01:50:23,612
Speaker 5: that we had has now employed forty people, you know,

2278
01:50:23,812 --> 01:50:27,133
Speaker 5: And yeah, I found that very humbling, kind of like

2279
01:50:27,213 --> 01:50:27,612
Speaker 5: a war.

2280
01:50:27,893 --> 01:50:31,412
Speaker 3: Just the pure logistics of getting it done, the locations,

2281
01:50:31,532 --> 01:50:35,012
Speaker 3: the lighting trucks. It's quite a thing into its south.

2282
01:50:35,053 --> 01:50:37,173
Speaker 3: How did you find that whole process eye opening?

2283
01:50:37,333 --> 01:50:41,053
Speaker 5: I'll never watch another show sort of like this and

2284
01:50:42,093 --> 01:50:44,492
Speaker 5: not appreciate how much work goes into it, like and

2285
01:50:44,572 --> 01:50:47,572
Speaker 5: there's there's so many talented people in that industry. We

2286
01:50:47,692 --> 01:50:49,892
Speaker 5: had to go around with the location scout and look

2287
01:50:49,933 --> 01:50:52,932
Speaker 5: at locations and that, the catering, the makeup and quite

2288
01:50:53,053 --> 01:50:56,093
Speaker 5: like everything, like even you'd walk into a beer room

2289
01:50:56,133 --> 01:50:58,692
Speaker 5: and then someone would have to design the room the

2290
01:50:58,732 --> 01:51:01,532
Speaker 5: stuff you've written down on paper not even thinking, and

2291
01:51:01,732 --> 01:51:03,692
Speaker 5: so that part of it was really I.

2292
01:51:04,133 --> 01:51:05,732
Speaker 3: And they come up to you and they've done two

2293
01:51:05,812 --> 01:51:07,732
Speaker 3: days work on one bit you wrote that you didn't

2294
01:51:07,732 --> 01:51:10,293
Speaker 3: even think about. That wasn't even important, and they're like,

2295
01:51:10,333 --> 01:51:11,772
Speaker 3: I've got that, and you're like, oh, you should have

2296
01:51:11,853 --> 01:51:13,372
Speaker 3: just come and talk to me. I would have had

2297
01:51:13,372 --> 01:51:14,612
Speaker 3: have deleted that and say if you.

2298
01:51:14,612 --> 01:51:16,532
Speaker 5: Were a life of time, You're like, these poor people's

2299
01:51:16,532 --> 01:51:18,652
Speaker 5: been twelve hours trying to make this image that you

2300
01:51:18,772 --> 01:51:21,532
Speaker 5: blindly wrote. But it's thankfully But yeah, well we had

2301
01:51:21,973 --> 01:51:23,012
Speaker 5: a really great team.

2302
01:51:23,173 --> 01:51:23,333
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2303
01:51:23,333 --> 01:51:26,293
Speaker 3: I'm always really impressed with the location people because things

2304
01:51:26,333 --> 01:51:28,532
Speaker 3: you would never think about. You see an exterior of

2305
01:51:28,572 --> 01:51:31,253
Speaker 3: a building and then someone walks in and something happens

2306
01:51:31,372 --> 01:51:33,492
Speaker 3: and there's someone's had to deal with the parking for

2307
01:51:33,572 --> 01:51:35,932
Speaker 3: all the trucks they get the they've had to get

2308
01:51:35,973 --> 01:51:39,852
Speaker 3: the council across the line, get the permits, find space

2309
01:51:39,893 --> 01:51:43,293
Speaker 3: for the catering. Argued with the neighbors. It's it's the

2310
01:51:43,412 --> 01:51:46,692
Speaker 3: logistics are so intense, especially now, even more because back

2311
01:51:46,692 --> 01:51:49,412
Speaker 3: when you were shooting jonaan being back then you could

2312
01:51:49,412 --> 01:51:50,852
Speaker 3: be a but loose you just sort of turn up

2313
01:51:50,853 --> 01:51:52,732
Speaker 3: at Mission Bay and hassle some people when it was

2314
01:51:52,772 --> 01:51:53,293
Speaker 3: all lovely.

2315
01:51:53,412 --> 01:51:55,772
Speaker 5: You're right, Yeah, just the amount of the amount of

2316
01:51:55,853 --> 01:51:58,053
Speaker 5: work that goes and you know, you just flick on

2317
01:51:58,133 --> 01:52:00,053
Speaker 5: Netflix and you're like, don't like that show, and you're like,

2318
01:52:00,492 --> 01:52:02,532
Speaker 5: three hundred people have just worked their guts out on

2319
01:52:02,612 --> 01:52:05,093
Speaker 5: that for about two years and you don't even see

2320
01:52:05,213 --> 01:52:06,732
Speaker 5: most of the work on the screen.

2321
01:52:07,173 --> 01:52:09,532
Speaker 3: So you're a famously nice guy. You never hear anyone

2322
01:52:09,612 --> 01:52:12,213
Speaker 3: saying anything but positive stuff about John a right, and goes, God,

2323
01:52:12,253 --> 01:52:14,452
Speaker 3: he's a great guy. But you've always sort of had

2324
01:52:14,532 --> 01:52:18,213
Speaker 3: this tendency towards that shocking, edgy stuff. Yeah, why do

2325
01:52:18,253 --> 01:52:18,772
Speaker 3: you think that is?

2326
01:52:19,973 --> 01:52:22,572
Speaker 5: My mum's got a very dark sense of humor, and

2327
01:52:22,692 --> 01:52:24,412
Speaker 5: I think it came from my mum was a journalist

2328
01:52:24,492 --> 01:52:29,093
Speaker 5: for the press in christ Church, and yeah, she spent

2329
01:52:29,133 --> 01:52:31,053
Speaker 5: a lot of time at Thomas some of the politicians

2330
01:52:31,093 --> 01:52:34,412
Speaker 5: and stories she would tell, like very dark senses of

2331
01:52:34,492 --> 01:52:36,652
Speaker 5: humor in that in that world. And so yeah, I

2332
01:52:36,732 --> 01:52:38,412
Speaker 5: think that's where I got it from. And I remember

2333
01:52:38,452 --> 01:52:40,612
Speaker 5: actually when we were doing Chilo and Ben would film

2334
01:52:40,652 --> 01:52:43,732
Speaker 5: the show live and as comedians, he was warming up

2335
01:52:43,772 --> 01:52:46,133
Speaker 5: the audience, as they say. And then after the show, Mum,

2336
01:52:46,572 --> 01:52:47,932
Speaker 5: she was at the show. She came up to Sam

2337
01:52:47,973 --> 01:52:50,772
Speaker 5: and she's like, you're very good at that job. And he's, oh,

2338
01:52:50,853 --> 01:52:53,452
Speaker 5: take you, you know, very commanding. You can you can

2339
01:52:53,973 --> 01:52:56,452
Speaker 5: you can hold an audience like Hitler, And.

2340
01:52:58,532 --> 01:52:59,093
Speaker 4: What do you mean.

2341
01:52:59,253 --> 01:53:00,293
Speaker 3: She's like, well, he was.

2342
01:53:00,372 --> 01:53:03,532
Speaker 5: He was charismatic, he held a room, he held a

2343
01:53:03,652 --> 01:53:04,293
Speaker 5: room's attention.

2344
01:53:05,053 --> 01:53:07,173
Speaker 3: So she's that's her sense of humor, right, So it's

2345
01:53:07,213 --> 01:53:11,572
Speaker 3: come through to you. Yeah, And so you've obviously been

2346
01:53:11,692 --> 01:53:14,293
Speaker 3: it's been Jhona and being done TV shows together. You

2347
01:53:14,372 --> 01:53:16,933
Speaker 3: do the Hits Show, You've been very successful together. So

2348
01:53:17,093 --> 01:53:21,213
Speaker 3: this is kind of the first project that's basically all John.

2349
01:53:21,612 --> 01:53:22,852
Speaker 3: How's for a while? How's that?

2350
01:53:23,133 --> 01:53:26,612
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's been honestly, it's been different, it has

2351
01:53:26,692 --> 01:53:30,973
Speaker 5: been weird. It's really felt unusual in parts, and we

2352
01:53:31,372 --> 01:53:33,973
Speaker 5: both have since the TV show wrapped up, have just

2353
01:53:34,053 --> 01:53:37,772
Speaker 5: been you know, pitching shows together and doing all sorts

2354
01:53:37,812 --> 01:53:40,133
Speaker 5: of mate. If you want to tell you, if you

2355
01:53:40,173 --> 01:53:41,732
Speaker 5: want to pitch for a TV show, we've got to

2356
01:53:41,772 --> 01:53:42,932
Speaker 5: play desktop full of the mat.

2357
01:53:43,612 --> 01:53:44,572
Speaker 3: We'll pitch you a show.

2358
01:53:45,652 --> 01:53:47,892
Speaker 5: But no, none of me, excuse me, none of been

2359
01:53:47,973 --> 01:53:50,532
Speaker 5: really sort of landing for you know, whatever reason. The

2360
01:53:50,893 --> 01:53:55,013
Speaker 5: industry is having an interesting time at the moment. And so, yeah,

2361
01:53:55,053 --> 01:53:57,812
Speaker 5: this wasn't sort of like mindfully me going I'm going

2362
01:53:57,853 --> 01:53:59,732
Speaker 5: to go off and do something by myself. It was

2363
01:53:59,853 --> 01:54:03,293
Speaker 5: just so genuinely must like you like writing, find it

2364
01:54:03,372 --> 01:54:07,852
Speaker 5: really satisfying. And it just kind of started naturally that way,

2365
01:54:07,973 --> 01:54:11,012
Speaker 5: was locked down the room with COVID during COVID, and yeah,

2366
01:54:11,053 --> 01:54:12,812
Speaker 5: that's kind of so it wasn't like, oh, I'm going

2367
01:54:12,853 --> 01:54:14,932
Speaker 5: to break away and do my own thing by any stretch.

2368
01:54:15,013 --> 01:54:18,292
Speaker 5: And yeah, just over a four year period, the snowballs

2369
01:54:18,293 --> 01:54:19,612
Speaker 5: started to grow with this idea.

2370
01:54:19,812 --> 01:54:21,732
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you use that script writning book? I sent

2371
