Speaker 2: seeing my first and eldest grandson, Monty Monty start school.

9
00:00:37,213 --> 00:00:38,733
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, did you cry?

10
00:00:39,013 --> 00:00:39,173
Speaker 3: No.

11
00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:41,733
Speaker 2: I sat at the back with his mum and his dad.

12
00:00:41,933 --> 00:00:44,293
Speaker 2: Anybody that's a parent or a grandparent would be able

13
00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:46,493
Speaker 2: to relate the first day of school. And all the

14
00:00:46,493 --> 00:00:48,293
Speaker 2: little kids are there and they sit on the mat

15
00:00:48,453 --> 00:00:54,813
Speaker 2: and they go good morning, missus. Good and they still

16
00:00:54,813 --> 00:00:58,653
Speaker 2: do they still do it, and they're like scrumptious and

17
00:00:58,693 --> 00:01:03,253
Speaker 2: they're just delicious, these kids. And should I tell that?

18
00:01:03,413 --> 00:01:05,893
Speaker 2: So they go around, they all set in the circle,

19
00:01:06,093 --> 00:01:09,493
Speaker 2: So what's doing the long weekend? And one kid said, well,

20
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:14,693
Speaker 2: my mummy had a boyfriend over. Was the mummy there? No,

21
00:01:16,773 --> 00:01:19,493
Speaker 2: you didn't hear that On the show, but I just

22
00:01:19,533 --> 00:01:21,293
Speaker 2: had to turn away like a kenn and go to

23
00:01:21,293 --> 00:01:22,373
Speaker 2: the back of the room because I was going to

24
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:28,453
Speaker 2: burst out loving hysterical. My mummy had a boyfriend brilliant anyway, First,

25
00:01:28,533 --> 00:01:29,853
Speaker 2: our school was so called.

26
00:01:30,293 --> 00:01:34,293
Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels News Talk.

27
00:01:34,373 --> 00:01:36,733
Speaker 2: Zaib, this is a personal story, but I'm happy to

28
00:01:36,773 --> 00:01:40,973
Speaker 2: share it. My daughter has two children. One is Mila,

29
00:01:41,133 --> 00:01:43,653
Speaker 2: one is Zeba Die. Zeb's just one and she's actually

30
00:01:43,653 --> 00:01:46,493
Speaker 2: pregnant again. Zeb I won't go into the personal details,

31
00:01:46,493 --> 00:01:48,053
Speaker 2: but he had to be taken to A and E

32
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,973
Speaker 2: on Saturday night Sunday morning. Technically Sunday morning was three

33
00:01:52,053 --> 00:01:54,653
Speaker 2: am in the morning and she had to race him

34
00:01:54,653 --> 00:01:56,853
Speaker 2: to an E. Won't go into the details. He's fine,

35
00:01:57,373 --> 00:01:59,093
Speaker 2: may need a little mind of surgery, but that's all

36
00:01:59,133 --> 00:02:00,573
Speaker 2: by the by the fact that she was in there.

37
00:02:00,613 --> 00:02:01,653
Speaker 2: She was beside herself.

38
00:02:01,773 --> 00:02:03,133
Speaker 4: She was on her own when she took him in

39
00:02:03,173 --> 00:02:06,173
Speaker 4: because her husband was looking after the other.

40
00:02:06,053 --> 00:02:09,133
Speaker 2: Baby exactly, and the other baby, Mieler, had gastro So

41
00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:11,733
Speaker 2: it's been a terrible forty eight hours. So there at home,

42
00:02:11,853 --> 00:02:14,493
Speaker 2: she's already rung out like a rubber band. Then zeb

43
00:02:14,533 --> 00:02:17,093
Speaker 2: starts howling, and he'd been howling since ten pm the

44
00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:18,893
Speaker 2: previous night because she rang me and said, Dad, what

45
00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:21,453
Speaker 2: should I do? And I go, I don't know. I'm's

46
00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:27,093
Speaker 2: not here she'd know. And so anyway, that lasted into

47
00:02:27,093 --> 00:02:28,973
Speaker 2: the early hours of the morning, racing to Annie, and

48
00:02:28,973 --> 00:02:31,013
Speaker 2: by the time three o'clock in the morning rolled around,

49
00:02:31,053 --> 00:02:34,373
Speaker 2: she was really worried that something serious was wrong. Now,

50
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:39,093
Speaker 2: most parents have had times like this, and we've all

51
00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:41,493
Speaker 2: gone into A and E or the edy department. This

52
00:02:41,533 --> 00:02:43,453
Speaker 2: is three in the morning. She parked a car. You

53
00:02:43,493 --> 00:02:47,213
Speaker 2: can imagine the scene. He's one screaming and consolable. So

54
00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:50,173
Speaker 2: she races in. They take him to the surgeon et cent.

55
00:02:50,533 --> 00:02:52,813
Speaker 2: When she came out two hours later, she's got an

56
00:02:52,813 --> 00:02:56,773
Speaker 2: eighty five dollars parking ticket. Now she and a young

57
00:02:56,813 --> 00:02:59,293
Speaker 2: family starting off big mortgage. Eighty five bucks is a

58
00:02:59,333 --> 00:03:01,533
Speaker 2: hell of a lot of money, that is for anyone,

59
00:03:01,573 --> 00:03:03,933
Speaker 2: For anyone, I know people will be listening to the

60
00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:07,013
Speaker 2: same Well, they're the rules, simon, and they are, but

61
00:03:07,053 --> 00:03:09,813
Speaker 2: the rules need to change. Are they reasonable rules? Is

62
00:03:09,813 --> 00:03:13,093
Speaker 2: the question? Hi, Rachel, OHI guys.

63
00:03:12,893 --> 00:03:16,693
Speaker 5: Interestingly, just talking about it being dark and scary, it's

64
00:03:16,733 --> 00:03:18,653
Speaker 5: like this, this is a real pet piece for me

65
00:03:18,693 --> 00:03:20,373
Speaker 5: because I've been to the hospital a bunch of times

66
00:03:20,413 --> 00:03:22,013
Speaker 5: and my husband's they take it at a bunch of

67
00:03:22,013 --> 00:03:24,693
Speaker 5: times trying to get me into the ed. But it's

68
00:03:24,853 --> 00:03:27,533
Speaker 5: like it should be the most successible place in the

69
00:03:27,573 --> 00:03:30,653
Speaker 5: city and it's not. It's so hard to get to.

70
00:03:30,813 --> 00:03:32,653
Speaker 5: It's so hard to get a park. If you've got

71
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:36,093
Speaker 5: you say, screaming children or you've got a dementia person

72
00:03:36,173 --> 00:03:37,973
Speaker 5: with you, you can't just drop them and then go

73
00:03:38,013 --> 00:03:41,213
Speaker 5: and find the carp back. The answer is the council

74
00:03:41,213 --> 00:03:44,613
Speaker 5: who's got to find a space to put parking. And

75
00:03:44,653 --> 00:03:46,293
Speaker 5: I don't know why they don't use part of the

76
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:48,053
Speaker 5: part of the park, part.

77
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:51,093
Speaker 2: Of Hagley Park. You may, yeah, what's the answer, hello, Simon.

78
00:03:51,333 --> 00:03:53,733
Speaker 6: I think the two components about this. First one is

79
00:03:53,773 --> 00:03:56,973
Speaker 6: that you probably want to park available around an emergency

80
00:03:57,013 --> 00:03:58,573
Speaker 6: area in a hospital and then in the night, and

81
00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:01,333
Speaker 6: probably a way you achieved that it's by having some charge.

82
00:04:02,213 --> 00:04:04,453
Speaker 6: The second component of that, though, is I think that

83
00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:07,813
Speaker 6: a similar system to what the roading is up up north,

84
00:04:07,853 --> 00:04:09,893
Speaker 6: where you've got a couple of weeks to pay for

85
00:04:09,973 --> 00:04:12,093
Speaker 6: that ticket afterwards, so you do not have to worry

86
00:04:12,093 --> 00:04:14,413
Speaker 6: about that at the time, and if anyone's violating that,

87
00:04:14,453 --> 00:04:15,133
Speaker 6: they get fined.

88
00:04:15,373 --> 00:04:18,453
Speaker 2: That's a very good solution, Simon. Would that idea work

89
00:04:18,693 --> 00:04:21,453
Speaker 2: similar to a toll, a road toll? Yeah, so you

90
00:04:21,493 --> 00:04:23,493
Speaker 2: don't know Ronny actually changes hands. You don't have to

91
00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:25,893
Speaker 2: swipe your card. It's just all a bill later. You

92
00:04:25,973 --> 00:04:29,973
Speaker 2: got to pay it later. Nuether plate registration identification. I reckon,

93
00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:30,653
Speaker 2: that's quite good.

94
00:04:31,053 --> 00:04:32,173
Speaker 1: The highlight reel.

95
00:04:32,773 --> 00:04:37,373
Speaker 2: How many times have we bagged young people for never

96
00:04:37,413 --> 00:04:40,933
Speaker 2: getting off their cell phones? The old smartphone? They're always

97
00:04:40,973 --> 00:04:43,973
Speaker 2: on their TikTok, They're always on their Insta, they're always

98
00:04:44,053 --> 00:04:45,293
Speaker 2: on their WhatsApp, They're.

99
00:04:45,093 --> 00:04:47,853
Speaker 4: Always on their phones full stop, matter what they're on,

100
00:04:47,973 --> 00:04:49,413
Speaker 4: they're always on their phone.

101
00:04:49,653 --> 00:04:55,093
Speaker 2: Get off your phone. Well, now, Boomer, I say to you,

102
00:04:55,653 --> 00:05:01,893
Speaker 2: James Kuder Daniels, Well, what was your screen time, your

103
00:05:02,013 --> 00:05:04,733
Speaker 2: daily screen time last week? Please? Can you open up

104
00:05:04,773 --> 00:05:08,213
Speaker 2: your phone and tell us? Wait for this, folks, I've

105
00:05:08,213 --> 00:05:11,573
Speaker 2: got them hold on a year, drawn and court it.

106
00:05:11,693 --> 00:05:18,093
Speaker 4: Oh ar six hours fifty seven a day, it's average,

107
00:05:18,293 --> 00:05:19,653
Speaker 4: that's average.

108
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:24,893
Speaker 2: Your average six hours fifty seven So seven hours? Yeah, yeah,

109
00:05:25,013 --> 00:05:29,533
Speaker 2: is that a lot a day? Yeah? Well, how come

110
00:05:29,573 --> 00:05:30,573
Speaker 2: you're on it so much.

111
00:05:31,173 --> 00:05:32,893
Speaker 4: Well, when I wake up, I go on it and

112
00:05:32,933 --> 00:05:35,693
Speaker 4: I read the paper, and then at night I might

113
00:05:35,773 --> 00:05:38,213
Speaker 4: watch a bit of Netflix on my phone.

114
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:41,813
Speaker 2: Right, seven hours a day for James. Mine was five hours,

115
00:05:41,853 --> 00:05:45,453
Speaker 2: fourteen minutes per day last week. Yeah, but you don't

116
00:05:45,493 --> 00:05:46,333
Speaker 2: do social media.

117
00:05:46,893 --> 00:05:50,333
Speaker 4: No, but that's still exactly Oh yeah, that is a lot.

118
00:05:50,453 --> 00:05:53,333
Speaker 2: What are you looking at? According to twenty twenty three

119
00:05:53,613 --> 00:05:57,733
Speaker 2: research from Data reportless is a worldwide grouping the average

120
00:05:57,813 --> 00:06:01,533
Speaker 2: screen time for adults around the world six hours thirty

121
00:06:01,533 --> 00:06:06,653
Speaker 2: seven minutes a day on screen time. UK adults spend

122
00:06:06,693 --> 00:06:11,733
Speaker 2: the equivalent of fifty six days a year online, So

123
00:06:11,893 --> 00:06:14,693
Speaker 2: there is a rise for what they call dumb phones

124
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:19,893
Speaker 2: for gen z well, younger people. Younger people because they

125
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:23,453
Speaker 2: themselves far from we should bag then we should actually

126
00:06:23,453 --> 00:06:26,733
Speaker 2: take inspiration from it. They are saying we are spending

127
00:06:26,773 --> 00:06:30,773
Speaker 2: too much time online and on our phones. But what's

128
00:06:30,813 --> 00:06:32,053
Speaker 2: your average screen time?

129
00:06:32,373 --> 00:06:35,293
Speaker 7: Well, I say, check last week, just eighteen hours and

130
00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:35,973
Speaker 7: two minutes.

131
00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:40,853
Speaker 3: What eighteen hours, hours and two minutes.

132
00:06:40,973 --> 00:06:46,493
Speaker 2: Is your daily average, daily average? How on earth do

133
00:06:46,533 --> 00:06:47,013
Speaker 2: you do that?

134
00:06:48,093 --> 00:06:51,213
Speaker 7: It's easy. I'm an uber driver. You start about six.

135
00:06:51,173 --> 00:06:54,013
Speaker 2: Thirty rah Google Maps.

136
00:06:54,733 --> 00:06:57,693
Speaker 7: Yea and you leave it on all day and they

137
00:06:57,733 --> 00:07:00,733
Speaker 7: can half an hour break, you know, your fenders whatever

138
00:07:00,773 --> 00:07:03,053
Speaker 7: you like, could be four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

139
00:07:03,453 --> 00:07:06,813
Speaker 7: And a mate are using shut eye. I think that's

140
00:07:06,813 --> 00:07:08,733
Speaker 7: scouting screen time too.

141
00:07:09,453 --> 00:07:12,053
Speaker 2: Very interesting, but well I think you probably top the list. Mate.

142
00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:15,613
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for calling the highlight interesting story.

143
00:07:15,653 --> 00:07:19,253
Speaker 2: I read this morning suggesting that New Zealand needs a

144
00:07:19,293 --> 00:07:23,013
Speaker 2: minimum product lifespan law, and I thought, man, that is

145
00:07:23,053 --> 00:07:26,093
Speaker 2: a really good idea. In twenty twenty three, consumerian Z

146
00:07:26,253 --> 00:07:29,173
Speaker 2: did a study and they found, for example, mobile phones

147
00:07:29,293 --> 00:07:34,093
Speaker 2: James eighty nine percent of faulty devices phones were no

148
00:07:34,253 --> 00:07:37,773
Speaker 2: older than four years half were less than two years

149
00:07:37,813 --> 00:07:40,933
Speaker 2: old before they started uncovering some of these faults within

150
00:07:40,933 --> 00:07:45,933
Speaker 2: the hardware. And it's the same for a bit smartphones, TVs,

151
00:07:46,093 --> 00:07:48,613
Speaker 2: washing machines, vacuum cleaners. The problem is that we've all

152
00:07:48,653 --> 00:07:51,373
Speaker 2: asked ourselves the question on many occasions, is this worth

153
00:07:51,373 --> 00:07:53,133
Speaker 2: getting repaired or should I just ditch it and buy

154
00:07:53,133 --> 00:07:55,613
Speaker 2: a new one. Well, that's that throwaway culture that we

155
00:07:55,693 --> 00:07:58,733
Speaker 2: do have. Yeah. See, we had our washing machine, fact

156
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:01,733
Speaker 2: and when it was seven years old, which is that

157
00:08:01,813 --> 00:08:07,013
Speaker 2: old for washing machine? Do you reckon. I'd say no, no, yeah,

158
00:08:07,053 --> 00:08:09,013
Speaker 2: I'd say they have to last for ten years a

159
00:08:09,053 --> 00:08:09,973
Speaker 2: big ticket item like that.

160
00:08:09,973 --> 00:08:12,693
Speaker 4: Anyway, Well, Consumer New Zealand says that it should be

161
00:08:12,733 --> 00:08:15,493
Speaker 4: lasting for ten years a washing machine? Do they They've

162
00:08:15,493 --> 00:08:18,133
Speaker 4: got a list out of how long these things should last.

163
00:08:18,133 --> 00:08:20,293
Speaker 2: But anyway, it was seven years old. Okay, so that's good.

164
00:08:20,613 --> 00:08:22,973
Speaker 2: So seven years old. The guy comes out and I

165
00:08:23,013 --> 00:08:25,533
Speaker 2: know that's going to be a call out fee. And

166
00:08:25,573 --> 00:08:27,493
Speaker 2: he comes out and he goes, oh, yeah, here it is.

167
00:08:27,613 --> 00:08:29,293
Speaker 2: It's this part here, pulls it out and it's a

168
00:08:29,333 --> 00:08:31,093
Speaker 2: little plastic thing. And I said, why have they made

169
00:08:31,093 --> 00:08:33,133
Speaker 2: that in plastic? And he goes, why do you think?

170
00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:35,933
Speaker 2: And we sort of had a chuckle together. It keeps

171
00:08:35,973 --> 00:08:38,133
Speaker 2: them in business, doesn't it. Yeah? So I said, so

172
00:08:38,173 --> 00:08:40,093
Speaker 2: they could make it with a much more sturdy part,

173
00:08:40,133 --> 00:08:43,253
Speaker 2: and he said absolutely, But that's the planned obsolescence.

174
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:46,013
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what about the other thing where with technology

175
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:50,813
Speaker 4: going the way it does, improving exponentially, then do you

176
00:08:50,933 --> 00:08:54,253
Speaker 4: want an old school what becomes an old school washing machine?

177
00:08:54,453 --> 00:08:56,933
Speaker 4: Because you know, they get smarter and smarter every year.

178
00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:00,333
Speaker 2: This is the problem though, Look, we do sound like

179
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:02,293
Speaker 2: those two old guys in the balcony at the Muppets here.

180
00:09:02,373 --> 00:09:06,853
Speaker 2: But my washing machine does everything except cook my dinner.

181
00:09:06,893 --> 00:09:09,133
Speaker 2: Now it's all on what's seven years old?

182
00:09:09,213 --> 00:09:09,373
Speaker 4: No?

183
00:09:09,413 --> 00:09:10,933
Speaker 2: This is? I got a new one in there, right,

184
00:09:10,973 --> 00:09:15,853
Speaker 2: but this is it's all got Wi Fi? Why do I? No, James?

185
00:09:15,893 --> 00:09:18,613
Speaker 2: I want very basic? Why do I want some technology?

186
00:09:18,653 --> 00:09:21,373
Speaker 2: Is great? Wi Fi for your home? Are conditioning unit,

187
00:09:21,453 --> 00:09:23,533
Speaker 2: your heat pump? Great because you're at work it's freezing.

188
00:09:23,533 --> 00:09:25,213
Speaker 2: You've left it off or don't? I'd like the house

189
00:09:25,253 --> 00:09:27,573
Speaker 2: wollm whant to get home? Jump on Wi Fi? Bang

190
00:09:27,613 --> 00:09:31,213
Speaker 2: it from work? Great? Wi Fi for my washing machine?

191
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:32,333
Speaker 2: What are we gonna do?

192
00:09:32,493 --> 00:09:32,653
Speaker 8: Go?

193
00:09:32,693 --> 00:09:34,893
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't put my money's on. I'm gonna go

194
00:09:34,893 --> 00:09:36,733
Speaker 2: and watch those bad boys if you haven't put them

195
00:09:36,733 --> 00:09:37,453
Speaker 2: in the machine, have you?

196
00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:37,613
Speaker 4: So?

197
00:09:37,733 --> 00:09:40,973
Speaker 2: Why do here? Did you see what I'm saying? So connectivity? Yeah,

198
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:42,453
Speaker 2: it's it's just stupid.

199
00:09:43,013 --> 00:09:45,333
Speaker 4: I love that sort of stuff, which is why I've

200
00:09:45,333 --> 00:09:47,293
Speaker 4: got one hundred and ninety nine apps on my phone

201
00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:49,013
Speaker 4: case Highlight Reel.

202
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:52,493
Speaker 2: I've been following this story of Koha the Staffy. Kohar

203
00:09:53,213 --> 00:09:58,693
Speaker 2: is a Stafford dog and he basically ate two cats.

204
00:09:58,773 --> 00:10:03,253
Speaker 2: Unfortunately killed is a better word. Probably well, he did

205
00:10:03,453 --> 00:10:05,573
Speaker 2: kill them. But he didn't. He didn't use a baseball

206
00:10:05,573 --> 00:10:08,093
Speaker 2: bat he ate them, and so and so there was

207
00:10:08,093 --> 00:10:10,573
Speaker 2: a call to have him put down. The courts spared

208
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:13,133
Speaker 2: him his life, but his own is going to be fined.

209
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,933
Speaker 2: James and our producers today, Jess, because Tyler's got the

210
00:10:16,013 --> 00:10:18,093
Speaker 2: day off. Jess and James both think the dog should

211
00:10:18,093 --> 00:10:20,733
Speaker 2: be destroyed. I say, what a joke. He didn't attack anybody.

212
00:10:21,013 --> 00:10:22,533
Speaker 2: He chased a cat and ate the cat. That's what

213
00:10:22,573 --> 00:10:26,693
Speaker 2: animals do. They are animals. He's done it twice, so

214
00:10:28,213 --> 00:10:31,613
Speaker 2: who knows whether a human is next? Oh well, well

215
00:10:31,653 --> 00:10:33,973
Speaker 2: you don't put somebody down or an animal down based

216
00:10:34,013 --> 00:10:36,253
Speaker 2: on who knows what they'll do next. Right, You're getting

217
00:10:36,253 --> 00:10:38,173
Speaker 2: a lot of support on text, but I do disagree.

218
00:10:38,213 --> 00:10:40,453
Speaker 2: I just think if in any way he had gone

219
00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:42,733
Speaker 2: this is the dog quo gone for a human, Sure,

220
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:45,613
Speaker 2: destroy the dog, but not for two cats. What do

221
00:10:45,693 --> 00:10:45,973
Speaker 2: you think?

222
00:10:46,133 --> 00:10:46,253
Speaker 5: Oh?

223
00:10:46,293 --> 00:10:48,373
Speaker 2: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. I have to read this, text,

224
00:10:48,373 --> 00:10:50,613
Speaker 2: says Simon. I have massive respect for you and honestly

225
00:10:50,653 --> 00:10:53,573
Speaker 2: think you're in New Zealand's best broadcaster. This is not

226
00:10:53,613 --> 00:10:58,213
Speaker 2: what your mother. But the text goes, but there is

227
00:10:58,333 --> 00:11:01,733
Speaker 2: no excuse that you could come up with to justify

228
00:11:01,733 --> 00:11:06,173
Speaker 2: a wandering dog killing cats dangerous illegal? The dog should go.

229
00:11:07,613 --> 00:11:10,213
Speaker 2: Chris is also pretty heated. I've just lost all respect

230
00:11:10,293 --> 00:11:13,293
Speaker 2: for you. Simon. You should hang out with the morons

231
00:11:13,293 --> 00:11:14,173
Speaker 2: that support Trump.

232
00:11:14,413 --> 00:11:23,053
Speaker 4: Oh that's a bit dark. It's just an opinion, Okay, No,

233
00:11:23,133 --> 00:11:25,653
Speaker 4: I stand by it. God, Pete, should the dog be

234
00:11:25,693 --> 00:11:26,173
Speaker 4: put down?

235
00:11:26,733 --> 00:11:28,693
Speaker 8: I think so. I think the judges made a bad

236
00:11:28,773 --> 00:11:31,493
Speaker 8: decision there because the end of the day, there's something

237
00:11:31,533 --> 00:11:34,453
Speaker 8: wrong with their dog, is socially imbalanced or whatever. And

238
00:11:34,573 --> 00:11:36,933
Speaker 8: I think the dogs, you want to do it the

239
00:11:36,933 --> 00:11:40,853
Speaker 8: third time I say that your two catuit smoking, you

240
00:11:40,853 --> 00:11:43,253
Speaker 8: wouldn't like it, So it's something wrong with the dogs.

241
00:11:43,253 --> 00:11:45,213
Speaker 6: The end of the day, you'll do it again.

242
00:11:45,493 --> 00:11:49,853
Speaker 2: But Pete, he's a dog. Dogs are animals. Animals chase

243
00:11:49,893 --> 00:11:50,613
Speaker 2: other animals.

244
00:11:50,973 --> 00:11:51,173
Speaker 5: You know.

245
00:11:51,373 --> 00:11:55,373
Speaker 2: Cats torture their prey before you know, before they eat them,

246
00:11:55,413 --> 00:11:58,133
Speaker 2: because they're animals. They torture those little mice. They don't

247
00:11:58,133 --> 00:11:59,893
Speaker 2: do it because they're deranged. They do it because that's

248
00:11:59,973 --> 00:12:03,493
Speaker 2: in their DNA. My two poodles Peep were beautiful natured dogs.

249
00:12:03,493 --> 00:12:05,013
Speaker 2: But if they saw a cat, I tell you what,

250
00:12:05,253 --> 00:12:06,333
Speaker 2: they would have gone. The cat.

251
00:12:06,853 --> 00:12:13,653
Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Sion James. The Highlight Reel with

252
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:14,773
Speaker 1: Sion James.

253
00:12:15,093 --> 00:12:17,773
Speaker 2: So James raised an issue with me yesterday off air,

254
00:12:17,893 --> 00:12:19,373
Speaker 2: and I thought this would be a great thing to

255
00:12:19,413 --> 00:12:21,733
Speaker 2: discuss on air. And it was on the back of

256
00:12:21,813 --> 00:12:25,373
Speaker 2: the release of the new look secondary English curriculum in

257
00:12:25,413 --> 00:12:28,613
Speaker 2: our schools for years seven to thirteen year olds, and

258
00:12:28,693 --> 00:12:32,933
Speaker 2: they're going to have compulsory Shakespeare and grammar lessons. Auckland

259
00:12:33,013 --> 00:12:36,533
Speaker 2: University professor Elizabeth Rater told arin Z the aim was

260
00:12:36,573 --> 00:12:39,493
Speaker 2: to create a knowledge rich curriculum. Heir here to that

261
00:12:40,013 --> 00:12:42,333
Speaker 2: every child throughout the country has the right to the

262
00:12:42,453 --> 00:12:46,893
Speaker 2: very best English language and literature. Shakespeare's plays would be

263
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:51,573
Speaker 2: compulsory for senior secondary students. Amen to that, I say,

264
00:12:52,013 --> 00:12:54,973
Speaker 2: And then James says to me, why.

265
00:12:55,493 --> 00:12:58,133
Speaker 4: What is it about Shakespeare? Why do we have to

266
00:12:58,213 --> 00:13:01,213
Speaker 4: learn about Shakespeare? If you want to, that's fine, But

267
00:13:01,333 --> 00:13:03,133
Speaker 4: making it compulsory.

268
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:05,213
Speaker 2: I go, yet, Well, on the basis of history alone,

269
00:13:05,573 --> 00:13:08,453
Speaker 2: one of the most lithic playwrights in history. Yeah, I

270
00:13:08,493 --> 00:13:08,813
Speaker 2: get that.

271
00:13:08,933 --> 00:13:12,253
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's glorified by the Western world, there's no doubt

272
00:13:12,293 --> 00:13:12,773
Speaker 4: about that.

273
00:13:12,853 --> 00:13:15,373
Speaker 2: But well, that in itself, think of the plays that

274
00:13:15,413 --> 00:13:18,413
Speaker 2: they would learn Hamlet, Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream, much Ado

275
00:13:18,453 --> 00:13:23,093
Speaker 2: about nothing, King lear Othello, Twelfth Night, The Tempest Macbeth. Yeah,

276
00:13:23,213 --> 00:13:26,773
Speaker 2: I would plague on both your houses. You have made

277
00:13:26,853 --> 00:13:31,533
Speaker 2: worms meat of me, I have it and soundly to

278
00:13:31,973 --> 00:13:34,493
Speaker 2: your houses. And he's doing this from memory. I was

279
00:13:34,573 --> 00:13:37,733
Speaker 2: Mecutio in Romeo and Juliet, and there was Mecutio's dying

280
00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:39,053
Speaker 2: scene right there.

281
00:13:39,333 --> 00:13:42,573
Speaker 4: It's a genuine question, I go, is Shakespeare still relevant

282
00:13:42,773 --> 00:13:44,013
Speaker 4: forced feeding it to kids?

283
00:13:44,173 --> 00:13:47,173
Speaker 2: Is Alexander the Great relevant to young people as Napoleon,

284
00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:48,933
Speaker 2: as Caesar? Oh well, don't.

285
00:13:48,693 --> 00:13:50,973
Speaker 4: Start talking to me about the history, because New Zealand

286
00:13:51,093 --> 00:13:52,693
Speaker 4: history is much more important.

287
00:13:52,733 --> 00:13:54,453
Speaker 2: But so it goes there. So no, But do you

288
00:13:54,493 --> 00:13:56,813
Speaker 2: see that in and of itself, that's a key point.

289
00:13:57,213 --> 00:13:59,613
Speaker 2: History is very relevant to you. It's just that you

290
00:13:59,653 --> 00:14:03,053
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have a bent towards Shakespeare. That the history

291
00:14:03,093 --> 00:14:08,333
Speaker 2: of Shakespeare the writer is so renowned, and his writing,

292
00:14:08,373 --> 00:14:10,533
Speaker 2: as I say, was so prolific. He was one of

293
00:14:10,573 --> 00:14:11,733
Speaker 2: the greatest writers.

294
00:14:12,573 --> 00:14:15,093
Speaker 4: I'm not being judges so much as wondering whether other

295
00:14:15,133 --> 00:14:18,013
Speaker 4: people think is it relevant in this day and age?

296
00:14:18,213 --> 00:14:21,013
Speaker 2: That's what it is. So he wrote one hundred and

297
00:14:21,013 --> 00:14:25,053
Speaker 2: fifty exceptionally famous poems. So as a playwright and a poet,

298
00:14:25,093 --> 00:14:28,493
Speaker 2: his language we still refer to today. So why would

299
00:14:28,573 --> 00:14:30,093
Speaker 2: you say it wouldn't be relevant.

300
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:32,693
Speaker 4: I think the whole purpose of going to school is

301
00:14:32,813 --> 00:14:34,653
Speaker 4: learning how to learn, rather than what you learn.

302
00:14:34,893 --> 00:14:35,533
Speaker 2: Did I Matt?

303
00:14:35,893 --> 00:14:39,453
Speaker 9: Personally, I don't think there's any need to make it mandatory.

304
00:14:39,573 --> 00:14:42,253
Speaker 9: I mean, I definitely should still be optional if people

305
00:14:42,293 --> 00:14:45,253
Speaker 9: wish to learn about it. But I think some of

306
00:14:45,333 --> 00:14:47,293
Speaker 9: us a little well, all of it's a little bit

307
00:14:47,293 --> 00:14:50,733
Speaker 9: outdated now the way we speak. But yeah, some of

308
00:14:50,773 --> 00:14:53,173
Speaker 9: the stories are I think, go a little bit over glorified.

309
00:14:53,213 --> 00:14:57,333
Speaker 9: To be perfectly honest with you. What makes escially Romeo

310
00:14:57,413 --> 00:14:58,093
Speaker 9: and Juliet?

311
00:14:58,893 --> 00:15:02,973
Speaker 2: That is which bit of Romeo and Juliet, Matt, I think.

312
00:15:02,853 --> 00:15:03,173
Speaker 6: All of that?

313
00:15:03,373 --> 00:15:06,493
Speaker 9: I mean they only knew each other.

314
00:15:06,453 --> 00:15:07,453
Speaker 6: For four days.

315
00:15:08,653 --> 00:15:09,813
Speaker 2: Have you heard that Tinder?

316
00:15:12,413 --> 00:15:15,173
Speaker 9: It was a relationship between a thirteen year old girl

317
00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:18,333
Speaker 9: and depending on what act you read, as a seventeen

318
00:15:18,413 --> 00:15:19,813
Speaker 9: year old to twenty year old male.

319
00:15:20,093 --> 00:15:23,573
Speaker 2: But what a remarkable story. What a tragedy, I mean,

320
00:15:23,613 --> 00:15:25,813
Speaker 2: that is the classic tragedy. That's where the writing was

321
00:15:25,813 --> 00:15:28,013
Speaker 2: so spectacular. Matt. In Romeo and Juliet.

322
00:15:28,813 --> 00:15:31,693
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I mean six people dying over the relationship

323
00:15:31,693 --> 00:15:32,813
Speaker 9: with a thirteen year old girl.

324
00:15:32,853 --> 00:15:34,093
Speaker 6: I just think it's a little bit.

325
00:15:34,453 --> 00:15:37,213
Speaker 10: Yeah when you put it that way, year you sort

326
00:15:37,213 --> 00:15:39,653
Speaker 10: of think, yeah, but you get but again in the

327
00:15:39,733 --> 00:15:42,613
Speaker 10: context back then, I mean he was born in what

328
00:15:42,653 --> 00:15:45,053
Speaker 10: fifteen hundred or sixteen hundred or something, so you know,

329
00:15:45,093 --> 00:15:47,373
Speaker 10: back then people regularly got married at twelve.

330
00:15:47,693 --> 00:15:49,493
Speaker 9: I just think there's other things we could be learning

331
00:15:49,493 --> 00:15:51,133
Speaker 9: in that time. But I mean, it definitely should be

332
00:15:51,133 --> 00:15:51,693
Speaker 9: an option one.

333
00:15:52,373 --> 00:15:55,733
Speaker 4: Another perspective from Jess Hi Sam James, I think we

334
00:15:55,853 --> 00:15:59,093
Speaker 4: use more French than Shakespeare in our day to day

335
00:15:59,453 --> 00:16:04,293
Speaker 4: cafe deja vu, a la carte, brunette, cliche, apostrophe, make

336
00:16:04,453 --> 00:16:09,053
Speaker 4: French compulsory, not Shakespeare's to be or not to be.

337
00:16:09,253 --> 00:16:12,413
Speaker 4: Let's make it not to be Mercy.

338
00:16:12,253 --> 00:16:15,213
Speaker 1: The best moments from the week. This is the Highlight

339
00:16:15,293 --> 00:16:18,773
Speaker 1: Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels, powered by News

340
00:16:18,813 --> 00:16:19,333
Speaker 1: Talks EMP.

341
00:16:20,053 --> 00:16:24,133
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Finance Minister Nikola Willis. She was speaking

342
00:16:24,373 --> 00:16:27,613
Speaker 2: at a post budget visit to Queenstown yesterday and she

343
00:16:27,733 --> 00:16:30,813
Speaker 2: said that she wants international tourists to pay more for

344
00:16:30,893 --> 00:16:33,453
Speaker 2: the privilege of visiting New Zealand. She said, we've got

345
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:36,013
Speaker 2: a huge infrastructure deficit in this country. They think something

346
00:16:36,053 --> 00:16:38,173
Speaker 2: in the vicinity of a trillion dollars for the next

347
00:16:38,253 --> 00:16:41,013
Speaker 2: thirty years. Where does the money come from. She's suggesting

348
00:16:41,573 --> 00:16:45,213
Speaker 2: upping our international visitor at Levy from thirty five dollars too,

349
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:47,973
Speaker 2: she doesn't specify. So that's one question for you. How

350
00:16:48,053 --> 00:16:50,973
Speaker 2: much should we charge foreigners to come here? And she

351
00:16:51,093 --> 00:16:53,013
Speaker 2: also went on to say Nichola Willis that she's open

352
00:16:53,093 --> 00:16:56,573
Speaker 2: minded about charging foreigners to enter our national parks. We

353
00:16:56,693 --> 00:16:59,013
Speaker 2: have some of the most stunning countryside at the Tornad

354
00:16:59,093 --> 00:17:01,973
Speaker 2: edw National Park, the Funganui National Park, Nelson Lakes, abel

355
00:17:02,053 --> 00:17:06,133
Speaker 2: tasman Egmont, they go on and it's free. Should we

356
00:17:06,173 --> 00:17:09,413
Speaker 2: char people to enter our national parks? Aldarki Mount Cook

357
00:17:09,653 --> 00:17:11,653
Speaker 2: that'll be one of the most popular, probably.

358
00:17:11,933 --> 00:17:14,773
Speaker 4: May Willy is what I say, of course we should,

359
00:17:15,453 --> 00:17:17,573
Speaker 4: although let's not let's not be silly about this. This

360
00:17:17,973 --> 00:17:21,453
Speaker 4: isn't going to fix the infrastructure deficit, but it's just

361
00:17:21,893 --> 00:17:24,573
Speaker 4: once again a point of principle that they pay far

362
00:17:24,613 --> 00:17:27,693
Speaker 4: too little to come here. We are worth more than

363
00:17:27,933 --> 00:17:31,253
Speaker 4: I mean thirty five bucks as an international visitor. Levy

364
00:17:31,373 --> 00:17:35,373
Speaker 4: is nothing. Well, talk about what they've paid to get here. Yeah,

365
00:17:35,933 --> 00:17:37,653
Speaker 4: that's a joke. It's not even gst.

366
00:17:37,813 --> 00:17:41,173
Speaker 2: For goodness sake, I do want to say something in here, though.

367
00:17:41,293 --> 00:17:44,733
Speaker 2: James Nikola Willis is cognizant of the fact that we

368
00:17:44,733 --> 00:17:46,573
Speaker 2: don't want to put people off. She says as much

369
00:17:46,653 --> 00:17:48,733
Speaker 2: when she said this to the meeting yesterday. There is

370
00:17:48,773 --> 00:17:50,533
Speaker 2: a balance we need to strike. We need to make

371
00:17:50,573 --> 00:17:53,573
Speaker 2: sure we don't make this such an expensive destination to

372
00:17:53,613 --> 00:17:57,493
Speaker 2: come to that people stop wanting to come. Hi there, Sheila, Hi, Simon,

373
00:17:57,613 --> 00:17:59,533
Speaker 2: what do you reckon? They should put the fee too well.

374
00:17:59,533 --> 00:18:01,453
Speaker 11: I actually haven't got an idea of what they should

375
00:18:01,453 --> 00:18:01,973
Speaker 11: put it up to.

376
00:18:02,093 --> 00:18:04,973
Speaker 2: But what was it before thirty five?

377
00:18:05,053 --> 00:18:08,093
Speaker 11: Yeah, thirty dirt cheap. So it could be three times

378
00:18:08,133 --> 00:18:12,493
Speaker 11: that because we all pay to go over seas when

379
00:18:12,533 --> 00:18:15,133
Speaker 11: we leave here in New Zealand, we pay double for

380
00:18:15,213 --> 00:18:19,573
Speaker 11: everything that we even look at. So I don't know

381
00:18:19,573 --> 00:18:21,493
Speaker 11: what our levees are and we go overseas, but I

382
00:18:21,533 --> 00:18:23,893
Speaker 11: know we have resort fees. When we're in your plant,

383
00:18:23,933 --> 00:18:26,093
Speaker 11: staying in a resort, it's a thirty dollars a day

384
00:18:26,733 --> 00:18:27,453
Speaker 11: resort fee.

385
00:18:27,653 --> 00:18:29,333
Speaker 2: We're sort of suckers. In a way, aren't we shure

386
00:18:29,373 --> 00:18:31,173
Speaker 2: because we got the key we natures go.

387
00:18:31,173 --> 00:18:31,253
Speaker 3: Oh.

388
00:18:31,253 --> 00:18:33,213
Speaker 2: I don't want to rip people off here, but we've

389
00:18:33,213 --> 00:18:35,653
Speaker 2: got to also take advantage of what we offer.

390
00:18:36,293 --> 00:18:40,693
Speaker 11: We're too soft and they're using everything, all our facilities.

391
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:43,533
Speaker 11: Also they end up getting injured and they do go

392
00:18:43,573 --> 00:18:46,653
Speaker 11: to hospital and they don't pay. We are too soft

393
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:49,173
Speaker 11: in this country and we need to start, especially places

394
00:18:49,213 --> 00:18:51,853
Speaker 11: like Queenstown and wrote a ruin. There's no place to

395
00:18:51,893 --> 00:18:54,733
Speaker 11: stay these days because you know, it's all taken up

396
00:18:55,493 --> 00:18:59,493
Speaker 11: other people and also done in Queenstown, there's no accommodation

397
00:18:59,693 --> 00:19:01,933
Speaker 11: for the people who work in the shops.

398
00:19:02,373 --> 00:19:04,653
Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right, sheilo. It's a good point you

399
00:19:04,693 --> 00:19:08,653
Speaker 2: make about Queenstown because they heave in summertime with population

400
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:11,573
Speaker 2: increase and there's only a very few rate payers actually

401
00:19:11,573 --> 00:19:14,213
Speaker 2: that live there permanently, so something's got to be done

402
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:16,093
Speaker 2: to cover their lack of infrastructure. Good on this.

403
00:19:17,413 --> 00:19:19,613
Speaker 3: We are too soft and we've got to put more

404
00:19:19,733 --> 00:19:21,933
Speaker 3: value on our assets. You know, you go anywhere in

405
00:19:21,933 --> 00:19:24,253
Speaker 3: the world, and I'm sure there's we go to National

406
00:19:24,293 --> 00:19:26,533
Speaker 3: Park from the USA, you go on the Great Wall

407
00:19:26,573 --> 00:19:30,053
Speaker 3: in China. You want to go on a beach in Jamaica.

408
00:19:30,653 --> 00:19:35,093
Speaker 3: You pay, you know, and we've just got to ground up.

409
00:19:35,173 --> 00:19:39,253
Speaker 3: I reckon we should be charging depending on where, like

410
00:19:39,333 --> 00:19:41,613
Speaker 3: if it was filed and I'll be charging two hundred bucks.

411
00:19:41,613 --> 00:19:41,813
Speaker 12: Mate.

412
00:19:41,933 --> 00:19:44,013
Speaker 3: Look, I worked in the old cruise line industry for

413
00:19:44,053 --> 00:19:47,893
Speaker 3: five years and I'll tell you right and right now,

414
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:50,653
Speaker 3: if you want to go on a day excursion you've

415
00:19:50,693 --> 00:19:53,573
Speaker 3: paid through the notes, doesn't matter. You know, you want

416
00:19:53,613 --> 00:19:56,893
Speaker 3: to sit on a beach and and thank Thomas or

417
00:19:56,933 --> 00:19:59,813
Speaker 3: payment islands. You know you pay to use a page.

418
00:19:59,893 --> 00:20:01,813
Speaker 3: We just got to get up with that. We've got

419
00:20:01,813 --> 00:20:05,733
Speaker 3: beautiful assets, as we all know, and we undervalue them.

420
00:20:05,853 --> 00:20:08,173
Speaker 2: Dave think thank you very much for passing on your thoughts.

421
00:20:09,013 --> 00:20:12,813
Speaker 1: Chats, laughs and the best calls. This is the highlight

Speaker 1: reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels Powered Babies Talk.

423
00:20:16,573 --> 00:20:16,973
Speaker 7: Said Bee.

424
00:20:17,213 --> 00:20:19,453
Speaker 2: I was on a flight with Jones to Top Walk

425
00:20:19,493 --> 00:20:21,173
Speaker 2: going to see her family. We went viral to do

426
00:20:21,213 --> 00:20:24,213
Speaker 2: her and so it's a small plane. When they unload,

427
00:20:24,613 --> 00:20:28,573
Speaker 2: they unloaded onto a kind of like little Paul trolleys

428
00:20:28,693 --> 00:20:30,613
Speaker 2: which are towed by an attractor. Then they toe all

429
00:20:30,693 --> 00:20:34,533
Speaker 2: those five trolleys little things round to a collection area

430
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:36,093
Speaker 2: where you're going and get your bags, and just when

431
00:20:36,133 --> 00:20:37,893
Speaker 2: you see your bag and identify you just pull it

432
00:20:37,933 --> 00:20:40,893
Speaker 2: off the trolley yourself. Yeah. Right. So I'm waiting there

433
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:47,053
Speaker 2: and I see a pair of my underwear what and

434
00:20:47,093 --> 00:20:51,213
Speaker 2: then I see a shirt of mine just being flung out.

435
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,493
Speaker 2: People are going through the bags and my bag has

436
00:20:53,533 --> 00:20:56,973
Speaker 2: somehow ripped open, and people are just basically sorting through

437
00:20:57,053 --> 00:21:00,573
Speaker 2: my smalls to get to their own bags. And it's

438
00:21:00,613 --> 00:21:03,013
Speaker 2: like it's like a Junkyard sail, a jumble sale, and

439
00:21:03,053 --> 00:21:05,133
Speaker 2: it's my gear. Is this when you're on Dancing with

440
00:21:05,173 --> 00:21:11,493
Speaker 2: the Stars and they wanted to start man some of

441
00:21:11,493 --> 00:21:14,573

442
00:21:14,693 --> 00:21:19,453
Speaker 2: who's that porschemarker? Wait until everybody just fasiting feverishly going

443
00:21:19,453 --> 00:21:21,653
Speaker 2: to get for gears? How embarrassing are you?

455
00:21:44,813 --> 00:21:47,173

456
00:21:47,173 --> 00:21:49,573
Speaker 2: the Underwustralia. I thought, oh my gosh, that's my undies

457
00:21:49,613 --> 00:21:54,493
Speaker 2: and so I didn't go near good woman. Oh so embarrassing.

Speaker 12: don't know.

460
00:21:59,653 --> 00:22:02,853
Speaker 2: Look, don't even talk. I'm getting PTSD thinking about it. Now,

461
00:22:03,413 --> 00:22:04,813
Speaker 2: what what do you do? Gary?

462
00:22:05,213 --> 00:22:08,093
Speaker 14: I look at the detainer and I went, I was

Speaker 14: signing to Queenstown and pegged my all my costumes and

464
00:22:11,933 --> 00:22:14,853
Speaker 14: stuff into the bag and took off a muzzle kerry

465
00:22:14,893 --> 00:22:17,173
Speaker 14: bag and got down there and got to my hotel

466
00:22:17,253 --> 00:22:20,053
Speaker 14: room and I all got to the airport, no bags, like.

467
00:22:20,573 --> 00:22:23,333
Speaker 2: Nothing, and I've got to work.

468
00:22:23,733 --> 00:22:26,053
Speaker 12: And I got to work, and so I panicked and

469
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:29,293
Speaker 12: they said, look, we'll have a look, and I finally

470
00:22:29,293 --> 00:22:32,773
Speaker 12: got them twenty five minutes before going on stage. But

471
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:34,973
Speaker 12: the ironic thing was, well, guys, I was doing a

472
00:22:35,053 --> 00:22:36,253
Speaker 12: corporate for in New Zealand.

473
00:22:36,533 --> 00:22:36,813
Speaker 2: Ah.

474
00:22:40,453 --> 00:22:41,413
Speaker 11: That was quite classic.

475
00:22:41,453 --> 00:22:43,813
Speaker 2: Really, that is classic. What do you do as an entertainer?

476
00:22:43,893 --> 00:22:45,093
Speaker 2: What sort of costumes?

477
00:22:46,293 --> 00:22:46,453
Speaker 6: Look?

478
00:22:46,493 --> 00:22:48,693
Speaker 12: I impersonated Austin Powers. You may have seen me at

479
00:22:48,693 --> 00:22:50,173
Speaker 12: the students and stuff like that.

480
00:22:50,613 --> 00:22:51,453
Speaker 2: Yeah.

481
00:22:51,733 --> 00:22:54,173
Speaker 12: Yeah, So and I think we Mickey Simon doing the

482
00:22:54,213 --> 00:22:57,533
Speaker 12: Stars in your Eyes one night. Oh, did you get

483
00:22:57,573 --> 00:23:00,293
Speaker 12: my guys to see if they get more guys to

484
00:23:00,373 --> 00:23:01,013
Speaker 12: do my shows?

485
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:04,333
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Good on you, Gary. Are you still

486
00:23:04,493 --> 00:23:05,533
Speaker 2: see you're still doing it?

487
00:23:06,013 --> 00:23:08,613
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been twenty four years and still doing it

488
00:23:08,693 --> 00:23:11,693
Speaker 12: still over the overseas and through New Zealand.

489
00:23:11,933 --> 00:23:15,333
Speaker 2: Good man. Oh, very nice to talk to you. Yeah,

490
00:23:15,373 --> 00:23:17,373
Speaker 2: that was basic. Thank you so much for calling.

491
00:23:17,253 --> 00:23:21,333
Speaker 1: Up, bringing you the best of the week. You're listening

492
00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:24,973
Speaker 1: to the Highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels,

493
00:23:24,973 --> 00:23:26,773
Speaker 1: powered by News talks'd.

494
00:23:26,373 --> 00:23:29,893
Speaker 2: Be well, it's meyor Tory Farno has been diagnosed with

495
00:23:29,893 --> 00:23:34,173
Speaker 2: ADHD and significant traits of autism, and she said she's

496
00:23:34,213 --> 00:23:36,893
Speaker 2: had to adjust her work arrangements to manage her symptoms,

497
00:23:37,293 --> 00:23:41,253
Speaker 2: including shorter meetings and more rest. She also said the

498
00:23:41,293 --> 00:23:44,453
Speaker 2: diagnosis came as a bit of a shock, and you

499
00:23:44,573 --> 00:23:47,093
Speaker 2: probably heard in Raylan's news bulletin there she was receiving

500
00:23:47,133 --> 00:23:50,293
Speaker 2: professional support for her mental health and then you know,

501
00:23:50,373 --> 00:23:54,333
Speaker 2: through that she realized she had ADHD. So we want

502
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:57,213
Speaker 2: to talk about that. Did you get a diagnosis late

503
00:23:57,253 --> 00:23:59,653
Speaker 2: in life and how do you manage that at work?

504
00:23:59,733 --> 00:24:03,493
Speaker 2: So Tory is asking for shorter meetings and maybe more rest.

505
00:24:04,213 --> 00:24:07,493
Speaker 2: There'll be some that will be cynical about that. There

506
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:09,333
Speaker 2: are a lot who are cynical about that.

507
00:24:09,373 --> 00:24:11,053
Speaker 4: But what we want to get down to is what

508
00:24:11,213 --> 00:24:14,853
Speaker 4: is ADHD and how do you get diagnosed with it?

509
00:24:15,213 --> 00:24:15,813
Speaker 2: Colo Ray.

510
00:24:16,253 --> 00:24:19,813
Speaker 13: My son was diagnosed with add when he was eight,

511
00:24:20,493 --> 00:24:24,293
Speaker 13: my daughter at twenty one, and I definitely have traits,

512
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:28,933
Speaker 13: but never bothered to go and get diagnosed. I know it.

513
00:24:28,933 --> 00:24:33,093
Speaker 13: It's not a pretend thing. Auklam University has done a

514
00:24:33,133 --> 00:24:37,773
Speaker 13: lot of studies using an fMRI scanner, which scans the

515
00:24:37,813 --> 00:24:43,013
Speaker 13: brain of people that have ADHD, and you'll see the

516
00:24:43,093 --> 00:24:46,933
Speaker 13: person with ADHD their brain is firing all over the spot.

517
00:24:47,013 --> 00:24:52,333
Speaker 13: They can't stay focused on a task, and when they're

518
00:24:52,333 --> 00:24:56,293
Speaker 13: given coping skills. Some people aren't bad enough to need drugs,

519
00:24:56,773 --> 00:25:00,413
Speaker 13: but when they have the drugs, their brain calms down

520
00:25:00,493 --> 00:25:04,813
Speaker 13: and you can see it functioning in a more normal way.

521
00:25:05,173 --> 00:25:09,013
Speaker 13: It's a chemical balanced in the brain compared to what

522
00:25:09,053 --> 00:25:10,053
Speaker 13: we call normal.

523
00:25:10,373 --> 00:25:13,573
Speaker 2: Ray, can I ask you this, what symptoms did your children,

524
00:25:13,573 --> 00:25:16,093
Speaker 2: particularly your twenty one year old exhibit that made you

525
00:25:16,173 --> 00:25:16,973
Speaker 2: go hang on?

526
00:25:17,493 --> 00:25:20,853
Speaker 13: She was good at school, you know, not brillant. She

527
00:25:20,973 --> 00:25:24,733
Speaker 13: was a B minus. You know, see kid just going along.

528
00:25:24,773 --> 00:25:27,893
Speaker 13: But she couldn't stay focused on anything, exactly the same

529
00:25:27,933 --> 00:25:29,893
Speaker 13: as me. If there's a job to be done, it'll

530
00:25:29,893 --> 00:25:32,693
Speaker 13: be left right up until the last minute and then

531
00:25:32,733 --> 00:25:35,773
Speaker 13: it's all on rush. Ritalin is one of the most

532
00:25:36,053 --> 00:25:40,853
Speaker 13: used and tested drugs in the world, and so a

533
00:25:40,853 --> 00:25:44,013
Speaker 13: lot of people get scared of it. But often those

534
00:25:44,093 --> 00:25:49,933
Speaker 13: that don't take it, like Tory, will develop drinking problems,

535
00:25:50,013 --> 00:25:53,173
Speaker 13: drug problems and everything because when they take the ritalin

536
00:25:53,773 --> 00:25:55,653
Speaker 13: it normalizes their brain.

537
00:25:55,933 --> 00:25:59,013
Speaker 2: Very interesting. Indeed, Newstalks had been the highlight reel.

538
00:25:58,853 --> 00:26:03,413
Speaker 1: With Simon Barnard and James Daniels, available worldwide on iHeartRadio.

539
00:26:03,653 --> 00:26:06,613
Speaker 2: Look, it's embarrassing. I can't explain why I've I've got

540
00:26:06,653 --> 00:26:09,653
Speaker 2: a winking habit and I do it to men and women.

541
00:26:09,733 --> 00:26:11,493
Speaker 2: Don't know you. I've done it to you, James, multiple times.

542
00:26:11,813 --> 00:26:15,173
Speaker 2: You do. And I can't explain it. I don't know

543
00:26:15,213 --> 00:26:18,013
Speaker 2: why it's and it's upset. It's habitual and it is

544
00:26:18,133 --> 00:26:21,133
Speaker 2: maybe it's a nervous tech. But when I see people

545
00:26:21,293 --> 00:26:25,133
Speaker 2: sometimes in lieu of saying hi, I'll just go and wink.

546
00:26:25,653 --> 00:26:30,053
Speaker 2: We're just direcdly old fashioned. I love it. Yeah, yeah,

547
00:26:30,093 --> 00:26:30,773
Speaker 2: I really like it.

548
00:26:30,853 --> 00:26:32,533
Speaker 4: I don't know why you stress about it, but you

549
00:26:32,573 --> 00:26:35,293
Speaker 4: better tell the full story, because you got yourself into

550
00:26:35,333 --> 00:26:36,053
Speaker 4: a bit of a pickle.

551
00:26:36,133 --> 00:26:39,893
Speaker 2: Some of it. I think you generated yourself. I don't

552
00:26:39,893 --> 00:26:42,733
Speaker 2: know that it was as bad as you worry about it. Well,

553
00:26:42,933 --> 00:26:44,773
Speaker 2: because James is normally we normally go and get a

554
00:26:44,773 --> 00:26:46,533
Speaker 2: coffee together or whatever. I was on my own walk

555
00:26:46,573 --> 00:26:50,853
Speaker 2: through the newsroom and that there's four women that promotions

556
00:26:51,133 --> 00:26:53,893
Speaker 2: people down the end of the news office, and I

557
00:26:53,973 --> 00:26:56,253
Speaker 2: walked past them, and there's a lovely woman on the

558
00:26:56,333 --> 00:26:59,653
Speaker 2: end and she's yeah, she's just very nice. And I

559
00:26:59,733 --> 00:27:01,893
Speaker 2: winked at her as I walked past. I was on,

560
00:27:02,093 --> 00:27:05,373
Speaker 2: you know, even telling you, I'm thinking, shut up, simon

561
00:27:08,253 --> 00:27:11,333
Speaker 2: thinking about it. So I just go like wink and

562
00:27:11,373 --> 00:27:13,653
Speaker 2: she sort of looked at me, and I was like, oh,

563
00:27:13,653 --> 00:27:16,613
Speaker 2: my gosh, she's amused, was she? Well, I just hoped

564
00:27:16,653 --> 00:27:18,933
Speaker 2: she didn't think anything of it. So then I this

565
00:27:18,973 --> 00:27:24,213
Speaker 2: is where I'm dumb. I go, oh, oh, I'm really sorry.

566
00:27:24,373 --> 00:27:26,253
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to wink at you. Well I did

567
00:27:26,253 --> 00:27:28,333
Speaker 2: wink because I often wink, and but I didn't mean

568
00:27:28,373 --> 00:27:30,773
Speaker 2: to wink at you, because that's inappropriate, and so I

569
00:27:30,813 --> 00:27:31,933
Speaker 2: just want you to let you know that I wasn't

570
00:27:31,933 --> 00:27:34,773
Speaker 2: winking because I think you're anything. And then and I

571
00:27:34,813 --> 00:27:37,573
Speaker 2: was going like that, and then and as I'm going,

572
00:27:37,973 --> 00:27:39,893
Speaker 2: because then I wanted to say because I don't know,

573
00:27:39,893 --> 00:27:41,773
Speaker 2: I wasn't winking because you're attractive, because I don't think

574
00:27:41,813 --> 00:27:45,013
Speaker 2: you're well, you're attractive, but I'm not thinking that right.

575
00:27:46,173 --> 00:27:48,933
Speaker 2: So then I just then everybody is like the whole

576
00:27:48,973 --> 00:27:51,413
Speaker 2: world stopped and listened in to that moment in time.

577
00:27:51,613 --> 00:27:53,853
Speaker 2: And I don't know how I just ran open plany

578
00:27:53,853 --> 00:27:56,373
Speaker 2: a office and everyone heard it. YEP. I think I

579
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:59,013
Speaker 2: just ended up running to the toilets and going, simon,

580
00:27:59,093 --> 00:28:02,653
Speaker 2: you drop kick, why do you keep talking? To shut up?

581
00:28:03,493 --> 00:28:05,493
Speaker 2: Jody used to say to me, I'm just dig and

582
00:28:05,613 --> 00:28:10,373
Speaker 2: digging through to China. And then leave.

583
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:13,373
Speaker 4: You leave the toilet as you're coming back past her,

584
00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:14,413
Speaker 4: you do.

585
00:28:14,373 --> 00:28:18,853
Speaker 2: What well, because in the toilet, thinking how am I

586
00:28:18,853 --> 00:28:21,013
Speaker 2: going to go back out there?

587
00:28:21,493 --> 00:28:23,653
Speaker 4: You couldn't get you couldn't get back to the studio

588
00:28:23,853 --> 00:28:24,813
Speaker 4: at less you been past them.

589
00:28:24,853 --> 00:28:27,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. So I go past and I think

590
00:28:28,213 --> 00:28:31,053
Speaker 2: because I'd already worked up my gag, so it wasn't awkward.

591
00:28:31,093 --> 00:28:33,933
Speaker 2: So I go past her again and I go really

592
00:28:33,973 --> 00:28:39,653
Speaker 2: obvious wink this time giddy up, which is you were

593
00:28:39,693 --> 00:28:43,653
Speaker 2: probably okay until the giddy up. But all right, what

594
00:28:43,693 --> 00:28:45,173
Speaker 2: does giddy even mean?

595
00:28:45,573 --> 00:28:48,133
Speaker 4: Well, it means certain things to certain people, so i'd

596
00:28:48,173 --> 00:28:48,573
Speaker 4: be careful.

597
00:28:48,733 --> 00:28:50,013
Speaker 2: Let's not get it deeply into that.

598
00:28:50,133 --> 00:28:52,813
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was her reaction?

599
00:28:53,253 --> 00:28:55,933
Speaker 2: Well, everybody felt awkward for me, I think, and I

600
00:28:56,333 --> 00:28:58,213
Speaker 2: went home and thought about it. I was troubled, and

601
00:28:58,253 --> 00:29:00,573
Speaker 2: so I can't look at it today. Oh I just

602
00:29:00,613 --> 00:29:05,373
Speaker 2: ignore it. That's always the best. So my question is

603
00:29:05,413 --> 00:29:09,413
Speaker 2: winking is it still? Is it okay? Or is it

604
00:29:09,453 --> 00:29:12,013
Speaker 2: on the way out? It's definitely on the way You

605
00:29:12,013 --> 00:29:14,813
Speaker 2: don't wink. I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed. That's wrong.

606
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:17,093
Speaker 4: I think you're wrong there. It's the way that you

607
00:29:17,213 --> 00:29:19,213
Speaker 4: do it that It ain't what you do, it's the

608
00:29:19,213 --> 00:29:19,573
Speaker 4: way that.

609
00:29:19,573 --> 00:29:21,133
Speaker 2: You do it that matters.

610
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:24,573
Speaker 4: And you didn't have any intention of being scody or

611
00:29:24,573 --> 00:29:25,093
Speaker 4: anything like.

612
00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:31,013
Speaker 2: That, I think, do you Yeah? Do you think that?

613
00:29:31,053 --> 00:29:31,333
Speaker 6: Mate?

614
00:29:31,853 --> 00:29:34,893
Speaker 2: But do you worry you too much? Yeah? I know?

615
00:29:35,013 --> 00:29:36,853
Speaker 2: But do we think that winking? You just as a man,

616
00:29:36,893 --> 00:29:38,613
Speaker 2: you don't wink at a woman. You can wink at

617
00:29:38,613 --> 00:29:42,493
Speaker 2: a man jeepers, creepers. No, I don't think so. I

618
00:29:42,533 --> 00:29:45,133
Speaker 2: just don't. I think we call call time on the

619
00:29:45,173 --> 00:29:49,053
Speaker 2: winking for women at women. Is it okay? It's okay

620
00:29:49,093 --> 00:29:51,653
Speaker 2: for guys. Guys. Guys can wink at each other? Yeah,
