Didn't get to this yesterday, but we 113 00:05:26,533 --> 00:05:30,093 Speaker 4: want to today. Ronaldo's son is going into his family 114 00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:32,773 Speaker 4: business football. He's been selected for the under fifteen side 115 00:05:32,813 --> 00:05:35,253 Speaker 4: in Portugal, which is a great little story. But we 116 00:05:35,293 --> 00:05:37,613 Speaker 4: want to talk to you if you've followed your parents 117 00:05:37,653 --> 00:05:41,493 Speaker 4: into their career choice or indeed taken over the family business. 118 00:05:41,213 --> 00:05:43,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, what's it like?

We just want 122 00:05:50,413 --> 00:05:52,653 Speaker 2: to look into what it's like going into the family 123 00:05:52,693 --> 00:05:55,213 Speaker 2: business because you kind of got this idea that you 124 00:05:55,293 --> 00:05:57,333 Speaker 2: go off into the world, you go on your oe, 125 00:05:57,813 --> 00:06:00,293 Speaker 2: and then you try and do things. This is sort 126 00:06:00,293 --> 00:06:02,453 Speaker 2: of the cliche, and then it doesn't work out. You 127 00:06:02,533 --> 00:06:04,733 Speaker 2: don't become the super stay you thought you were going 128 00:06:04,773 --> 00:06:06,213 Speaker 2: to be, and you come home and you work on 129 00:06:06,213 --> 00:06:09,253 Speaker 2: your family business and there's a part of you that 130 00:06:09,293 --> 00:06:11,933 Speaker 2: goes I didn't I didn't really change the script in 131 00:06:11,973 --> 00:06:14,653 Speaker 2: my life. But is that true? Is it a backups 132 00:06:14,773 --> 00:06:18,333 Speaker 2: or legitimate or is it just an absolute honor to 133 00:06:18,413 --> 00:06:20,653 Speaker 2: go in and continue the legacy of your family. 134 00:06:20,733 --> 00:06:22,813 Speaker 4: That's going to be a great discussion after two o'clock, 135 00:06:22,853 --> 00:06:25,253 Speaker 4: But right now, let's have a chat about speed camera vans. 136 00:06:25,293 --> 00:06:29,013 Speaker 4: The nz TA has started rolling out new non branded 137 00:06:29,133 --> 00:06:33,053 Speaker 4: mobile safety camera SUVs. They've taken over from the police 138 00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,613 Speaker 4: on the speed camera vans, which means you won't be 139 00:06:35,653 --> 00:06:39,333 Speaker 4: seeing any of those well sign posted police fans on 140 00:06:39,373 --> 00:06:40,973 Speaker 4: the side of the road anymore. They're going to be 141 00:06:41,053 --> 00:06:45,053 Speaker 4: quite inconspicuous rav fours by the look of it, that 142 00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:47,373 Speaker 4: are going to be on the side of the road. 143 00:06:47,413 --> 00:06:53,293 Speaker 4: The nz TA does say that these particular vehicles are 144 00:06:53,293 --> 00:06:55,453 Speaker 4: going to be visible to motorists. They're not going to 145 00:06:55,453 --> 00:06:58,693 Speaker 4: be hiding behind trees around the corner trying to sting you. 146 00:06:58,693 --> 00:07:01,253 Speaker 4: But who would argue if you have a look at 147 00:07:01,293 --> 00:07:04,613 Speaker 4: these rav fours that are being posted, they would be very, 148 00:07:04,733 --> 00:07:05,773 Speaker 4: very difficult. 149 00:07:05,333 --> 00:07:07,253 Speaker 2: To a They promised they're not going to be around 150 00:07:07,253 --> 00:07:11,213 Speaker 2: corners at in areas where people are breaking you know, 151 00:07:12,053 --> 00:07:14,733 Speaker 2: when it's been the one hundred k and then it's 152 00:07:14,733 --> 00:07:17,053 Speaker 2: coming down to fifty and the corners at the bottom 153 00:07:17,093 --> 00:07:19,813 Speaker 2: of hills. Sometimes they put themselves in places and this 154 00:07:19,853 --> 00:07:22,493 Speaker 2: is what they shouldn't do where you're more likely to 155 00:07:22,533 --> 00:07:25,653 Speaker 2: generate revenue than you are to increase the safety on 156 00:07:25,693 --> 00:07:26,933 Speaker 2: the roads. And that's what annoys me. 157 00:07:27,493 --> 00:07:30,973 Speaker 4: And they haven't made that promise. I've got to say, I. 158 00:07:30,893 --> 00:07:32,613 Speaker 2: Think it's good that the police aren't doing it anymore. 159 00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,173 Speaker 2: It seems to me that NZTA should be doing this 160 00:07:35,613 --> 00:07:37,813 Speaker 2: because you I mean, really, if we think about what 161 00:07:37,853 --> 00:07:40,133 Speaker 2: the police can do and the skills they have, one 162 00:07:40,173 --> 00:07:42,573 Speaker 2: of them sits, you know, sitting on the side of 163 00:07:42,613 --> 00:07:45,773 Speaker 2: the road for hours with a gun away taking people, 164 00:07:46,493 --> 00:07:49,293 Speaker 2: that's a waste of someone that we need out, you know, 165 00:07:49,853 --> 00:07:51,893 Speaker 2: doing all the other things, because we've definitely got a 166 00:07:51,933 --> 00:07:54,333 Speaker 2: lot of crime in this New Zealand and this country 167 00:07:54,453 --> 00:07:58,573 Speaker 2: of ours. But I postulated this this thing before I 168 00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:02,133 Speaker 2: pulled this, this sort of analogy out of my butt. 169 00:08:02,293 --> 00:08:04,493 Speaker 2: This is good, this is really good earlier, and I 170 00:08:04,533 --> 00:08:06,773 Speaker 2: want to know what people think about this. I have 171 00:08:06,813 --> 00:08:09,293 Speaker 2: always been confused by this because I hate the idea 172 00:08:09,333 --> 00:08:12,093 Speaker 2: of them pinging me. But if you're speeding, you're speeding, 173 00:08:12,613 --> 00:08:16,093 Speaker 2: and if they catch you, they catch you. My example 174 00:08:16,253 --> 00:08:19,493 Speaker 2: was it's illegal to murder someone, right yep, highly And 175 00:08:19,533 --> 00:08:22,813 Speaker 2: if I stab someone and the guy goes haha. I 176 00:08:22,933 --> 00:08:24,973 Speaker 2: was a cop and I have a vest on under 177 00:08:24,973 --> 00:08:27,133 Speaker 2: my shirt. I don't go mate, you should have been 178 00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:29,413 Speaker 2: wearing a uniform so I knew not to stab you. 179 00:08:29,413 --> 00:08:31,933 Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that 180 00:08:32,453 --> 00:08:35,373 Speaker 2: speeding the law. If you break it, then that's just 181 00:08:35,413 --> 00:08:40,252 Speaker 2: bad luck. You know, whatever way they used to catch you, 182 00:08:40,612 --> 00:08:41,532 Speaker 2: then that's fine, right. 183 00:08:42,093 --> 00:08:45,013 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean to try and argue with that. Analogy 184 00:08:45,093 --> 00:08:47,093 Speaker 4: is a tough thing to do. But I was going 185 00:08:47,173 --> 00:08:50,132 Speaker 4: to say, if they give you the heads up that 186 00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:53,933 Speaker 4: stabbing is a bad thing to do. Yeah, and there 187 00:08:53,973 --> 00:08:58,093 Speaker 4: are signs everywhere saying do not stab people because you'll 188 00:08:58,132 --> 00:09:01,492 Speaker 4: go to jail, then everybody knows that, hey, you don't 189 00:09:01,533 --> 00:09:03,293 Speaker 4: go around stabbing people in this country. 190 00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:05,933 Speaker 2: I feel like this analogy is breaking down. So what 191 00:09:05,973 --> 00:09:11,693 Speaker 2: you're saying is that the What are you saying saying that? 192 00:09:11,732 --> 00:09:16,413 Speaker 2: So if it's signposted everywhere that the speed limit? What 193 00:09:16,533 --> 00:09:17,213 Speaker 2: not explain it? 194 00:09:17,252 --> 00:09:17,453 Speaker 7: Well? 195 00:09:17,492 --> 00:09:21,012 Speaker 4: If the ultimate aim is to get people to drive 196 00:09:21,213 --> 00:09:24,013 Speaker 4: to the speed limit, yeah, and you have signs saying 197 00:09:24,252 --> 00:09:27,053 Speaker 4: there is a speed camera ahead of you, I guarantee 198 00:09:27,053 --> 00:09:29,133 Speaker 4: that is better for getting people to drive to the 199 00:09:29,173 --> 00:09:33,053 Speaker 4: speed limit than having a hidden van away because they're 200 00:09:33,053 --> 00:09:35,333 Speaker 4: not going to change their their driving behavior. They might 201 00:09:35,372 --> 00:09:37,612 Speaker 4: get stung with a fine and then arguably, yep, they 202 00:09:37,653 --> 00:09:40,573 Speaker 4: may change their behavior, but they may not because they, 203 00:09:42,012 --> 00:09:44,573 Speaker 4: you know, they'd always think that they can get away 204 00:09:44,573 --> 00:09:46,732 Speaker 4: with it. Whereas if you've got a big sign saying 205 00:09:46,852 --> 00:09:48,213 Speaker 4: you're not going to get away with it, there is 206 00:09:48,252 --> 00:09:50,653 Speaker 4: a van ahead of you and it's going to sting 207 00:09:50,693 --> 00:09:53,093 Speaker 4: you unless you slow down, then surely that's a better 208 00:09:53,132 --> 00:09:54,573 Speaker 4: way to make people sayer on the roads. 209 00:09:54,852 --> 00:09:57,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you're saying, like some you're entering in 210 00:09:58,653 --> 00:10:03,453 Speaker 2: a non stabbing zone right now, we've got anti stabbing 211 00:10:03,453 --> 00:10:06,333 Speaker 2: cameras everywhere exactly. Yeah, no, I think I kind of 212 00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:09,213 Speaker 2: get your point. So is this true the police staff 213 00:10:09,213 --> 00:10:11,573 Speaker 2: and speed camera vans were not cops, so were non 214 00:10:11,612 --> 00:10:15,093 Speaker 2: sworn police employees. Cheers much even so, I would say 215 00:10:15,132 --> 00:10:17,653 Speaker 2: even the admin around getting them out there, and the 216 00:10:17,732 --> 00:10:20,413 Speaker 2: vehicles they were using, it just seems to me that 217 00:10:20,492 --> 00:10:24,012 Speaker 2: whatever resources the police were having to deploy on that 218 00:10:24,653 --> 00:10:27,852 Speaker 2: is better deployed by NZTA than it is by the police. 219 00:10:28,012 --> 00:10:28,213 Speaker 1: You know. 220 00:10:28,492 --> 00:10:30,213 Speaker 4: And some of those were paddi wagons, right, so you're 221 00:10:30,252 --> 00:10:32,412 Speaker 4: giving up the resource of a paddy wagon that was 222 00:10:32,453 --> 00:10:35,413 Speaker 4: sign rented with all the police livery on it, So 223 00:10:35,492 --> 00:10:37,413 Speaker 4: that is a resource taken out of the equation that 224 00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:40,813 Speaker 4: police could be using elsewhere. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. 225 00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:43,693 Speaker 2: The Tony says, Matt, that is the most stupid analogy 226 00:10:43,732 --> 00:10:47,053 Speaker 2: I've ever heard. Makes zero sense. Cheers Tony. Okay, Tony, Okay, Tony. 227 00:10:47,093 --> 00:10:49,773 Speaker 2: We'll explain why it's the most stupid analogy. It's very 228 00:10:49,813 --> 00:10:51,173 Speaker 2: easy to say it's a stupid analogy. 229 00:10:51,252 --> 00:10:53,252 Speaker 4: Yeah, try and argue against a Tony. It's a lot 230 00:10:53,252 --> 00:10:54,893 Speaker 4: harder than I thought. I tried, and I don't know 231 00:10:54,892 --> 00:10:55,973 Speaker 4: if I was that successful. 232 00:10:56,012 --> 00:10:57,932 Speaker 2: Well, anyway, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty, what do 233 00:10:57,973 --> 00:10:59,253 Speaker 2: you think of these changes? Yeah? 234 00:10:59,252 --> 00:11:03,173 Speaker 4: I love to hear from you. It is quarter past three. 235 00:11:04,293 --> 00:11:07,772 Speaker 5: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and 236 00:11:08,012 --> 00:11:09,013 Speaker 5: every between. 237 00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:12,173 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tayler Adams afternoons, used talks. 238 00:11:12,173 --> 00:11:15,333 Speaker 4: It'd be very good afternoon to you. It is eighteen 239 00:11:15,372 --> 00:11:17,653 Speaker 4: passed one. Are we're talking about these new speed camera 240 00:11:17,653 --> 00:11:22,333 Speaker 4: events that the zed TA have started rolling out incredibly inconspicuous. 241 00:11:22,372 --> 00:11:25,413 Speaker 4: They reckon that they are not going to be hidden. 242 00:11:25,453 --> 00:11:27,773 Speaker 4: Here's the quote from nzed TA. They said the vehicles 243 00:11:27,813 --> 00:11:30,132 Speaker 4: will not be hidden from road users. We won't use trees, 244 00:11:30,173 --> 00:11:33,252 Speaker 4: blowing corners or anything else at the roadside to disguise 245 00:11:33,372 --> 00:11:36,252 Speaker 4: our cameras. They'll be visible to drivers. But if you 246 00:11:36,293 --> 00:11:38,293 Speaker 4: ever look at the photo, it's a rare four it's 247 00:11:38,293 --> 00:11:40,933 Speaker 4: got freaking' roofrex on it. I just thought that was. 248 00:11:40,973 --> 00:11:42,213 Speaker 2: It looks like a family going skiing. 249 00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:44,213 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought the journalists just pluck that out from 250 00:11:44,252 --> 00:11:46,253 Speaker 4: some sort of motoring magazine. But no, that is from 251 00:11:46,333 --> 00:11:48,693 Speaker 4: nzed TA. They got that photo direct from the source. 252 00:11:48,852 --> 00:11:50,333 Speaker 2: Why do they have to be in such a flash car? 253 00:11:50,573 --> 00:11:54,333 Speaker 2: Why don't you put them in like an absolute crapper? Well, 254 00:11:54,413 --> 00:11:57,093 Speaker 2: I mean, bring back Treeking. If you see an absolute 255 00:11:57,132 --> 00:11:58,853 Speaker 2: crapper on the side of the road, you always go 256 00:11:58,892 --> 00:12:01,372 Speaker 2: that's a car broken down and not a speed camera obviously, 257 00:12:01,372 --> 00:12:04,613 Speaker 2: So if they actually wanted to be more less conspicuous, yeah, 258 00:12:04,653 --> 00:12:05,973 Speaker 2: then put a crapper on the side of the rape. 259 00:12:05,973 --> 00:12:09,852 Speaker 2: But why are we paying for these bloody flesh hybrid humiliators? 260 00:12:09,933 --> 00:12:12,252 Speaker 4: Yeah, I eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 261 00:12:12,252 --> 00:12:15,013 Speaker 4: to call. Do you think there should be signage to 262 00:12:15,012 --> 00:12:17,453 Speaker 4: say there's a speed camera ahead of you? Or do 263 00:12:17,492 --> 00:12:19,292 Speaker 4: you think it's fair cop? If you get stung. 264 00:12:19,333 --> 00:12:21,732 Speaker 2: That's your problem. I eight hundred eighteen eighty Hayden says, 265 00:12:21,813 --> 00:12:23,892 Speaker 2: if you don't want to get caught, don't speed. Simple 266 00:12:23,933 --> 00:12:25,573 Speaker 2: that's the law, you see. That's what I was saying 267 00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:30,852 Speaker 2: with my my stabbing analogy, but Tiny didn't like it. Scott, 268 00:12:30,892 --> 00:12:33,612 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show your thoughts today. 269 00:12:33,612 --> 00:12:35,693 Speaker 8: Matton Tyler.

I set mine somewhere 306 00:14:26,293 --> 00:14:27,973 Speaker 9: between one hundred and five and one hundred and fourteen, 307 00:14:27,973 --> 00:14:30,493 Speaker 9: which is made limits. But once they get fast, for 308 00:14:30,533 --> 00:14:33,133 Speaker 9: all of sudden, if I've been on that one hundred 309 00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:34,973 Speaker 9: and ten. I'll bring it back to one hundred and four, 310 00:14:35,013 --> 00:14:38,133 Speaker 9: one hundred and five. But of course you know you'd 311 00:14:38,133 --> 00:14:41,013 Speaker 9: travel at the steed of the traffic as long as 312 00:14:41,013 --> 00:14:41,733 Speaker 9: you're favorable. 313 00:14:42,413 --> 00:14:47,253 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, I think adeptive cruise control and has made 314 00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,773 Speaker 2: driving between cities a so much easier. But also you 315 00:14:50,853 --> 00:14:53,292 Speaker 2: just take that out of your hands. But basically you 316 00:14:53,333 --> 00:14:55,613 Speaker 2: just get into procession, don't you behind the other cars, 317 00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:57,493 Speaker 2: You set the distance that you're going to sit behind 318 00:14:57,533 --> 00:15:00,453 Speaker 2: the other cars, you take your foot off the accelerator 319 00:15:00,853 --> 00:15:04,453 Speaker 2: and you just cruise. Yeah, and it's I know, I 320 00:15:04,493 --> 00:15:07,493 Speaker 2: find driving between the cities so much more relaxing now. Yeah. 321 00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:10,613 Speaker 2: And actually you the lines of cars and it's it's 322 00:15:10,693 --> 00:15:13,293 Speaker 2: it's almost AI like how locked and stepped they are. 323 00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:16,893 Speaker 2: Everyone's just the same distance apart, cruising at the same speed, 324 00:15:16,973 --> 00:15:18,773 Speaker 2: which is lovely but safe. 325 00:15:18,973 --> 00:15:21,893 Speaker 4: I know that particularly in the South Island because it's 326 00:15:21,933 --> 00:15:22,693 Speaker 4: longer roads. 327 00:15:22,813 --> 00:15:24,413 Speaker 2: But there's still. 328 00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:26,493 Speaker 4: People down there that will get behind someone who is 329 00:15:26,693 --> 00:15:29,613 Speaker 4: just going over the speed limit, and they're known as 330 00:15:29,693 --> 00:15:32,733 Speaker 4: police bait. So you just get just getting behind them 331 00:15:32,893 --> 00:15:35,333 Speaker 4: and if there is a speed camera, hopefully they get 332 00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:37,573 Speaker 4: stung or the cop swings out and gets them and 333 00:15:37,613 --> 00:15:38,173 Speaker 4: you'll be saved. 334 00:15:38,853 --> 00:15:40,613 Speaker 2: Can't the camera go bom bomb? Can't get. 335 00:15:42,373 --> 00:15:42,573 Speaker 1: Well? 336 00:15:42,613 --> 00:15:42,973 Speaker 2: I don't know. 337 00:15:43,013 --> 00:15:45,613 Speaker 4: Actually, can it do it in quick succession? I measured it. 338 00:15:45,613 --> 00:15:46,413 Speaker 4: It probably can. 339 00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:50,093 Speaker 2: I think you do it pretty quickly. Could Yeah? Yeah, 340 00:15:50,173 --> 00:15:52,773 Speaker 2: thanks to you call, Scott. I appreciate. I mean you 341 00:15:52,813 --> 00:15:58,253 Speaker 2: could argue that cameras everywhere, yeah, and just paying everyone. 342 00:15:58,413 --> 00:15:59,933 Speaker 2: I know in Italy they had what was the guy 343 00:15:59,973 --> 00:16:02,973 Speaker 2: called that there was a vigilante that was cutting down 344 00:16:02,973 --> 00:16:06,093 Speaker 2: all the cameras in Italy because they camera everywhere on 345 00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:08,013 Speaker 2: the roads over there. And then there was a sort 346 00:16:08,013 --> 00:16:10,013 Speaker 2: of super hero that turned up a vigilante for the 347 00:16:10,013 --> 00:16:13,013 Speaker 2: people that was going chainsawing down the signs. I lock 348 00:16:13,093 --> 00:16:16,013 Speaker 2: up his name because they thought there was unfair to 349 00:16:16,093 --> 00:16:19,493 Speaker 2: be everywhere. And also the thing is the problem with 350 00:16:19,573 --> 00:16:23,933 Speaker 2: all this is then we had recently some stupid lowering 351 00:16:23,973 --> 00:16:26,293 Speaker 2: of speed limits that didn't need to be lowered, and 352 00:16:26,333 --> 00:16:29,133 Speaker 2: then you start questioning the government when people got absolutely 353 00:16:29,213 --> 00:16:33,013 Speaker 2: ridiculous with the speed limits. Then you're going, well, I 354 00:16:33,013 --> 00:16:35,133 Speaker 2: don't trust you guys, because you're making dumb decisions. 355 00:16:35,253 --> 00:16:39,333 Speaker 4: Exactly just what Scott was saying about the fleshing your headlights. 356 00:16:39,333 --> 00:16:41,413 Speaker 4: If there's a cop or a speed camera head and 357 00:16:41,413 --> 00:16:43,333 Speaker 4: that's a very key we thing to do, and we 358 00:16:43,373 --> 00:16:45,173 Speaker 4: can argue whether that's the right thing or not. I 359 00:16:45,173 --> 00:16:48,493 Speaker 4: think absolutely you should be doing that. But Google, now, 360 00:16:48,573 --> 00:16:51,573 Speaker 4: if you use Google Maps, you can there's something on 361 00:16:51,613 --> 00:16:53,532 Speaker 4: the app that you can just press the button and say, hey, 362 00:16:53,533 --> 00:16:56,533 Speaker 4: there's a speed camera up ahead. So we already know 363 00:16:56,693 --> 00:16:58,653 Speaker 4: they may as well just put a sign out. It's 364 00:16:58,693 --> 00:17:01,053 Speaker 4: the people warning the other people. It's like, you know, 365 00:17:01,093 --> 00:17:04,133 Speaker 4: the citizens are doing the job here Insida may as 366 00:17:04,173 --> 00:17:07,253 Speaker 4: well just doing put a big sign up and saying, hey, watch. 367 00:17:07,253 --> 00:17:09,853 Speaker 2: Do you know who the real one is? In the 368 00:17:09,933 --> 00:17:15,213 Speaker 2: cruise adeptive cruise control technology and laying technology. Teenage boys 369 00:17:15,453 --> 00:17:17,973 Speaker 2: and kids coming through at a certain age because if you're 370 00:17:18,013 --> 00:17:20,373 Speaker 2: a dad, you're like, I don't want them banging around 371 00:17:20,413 --> 00:17:23,253 Speaker 2: in an old fashioned car now zooming between cities. So 372 00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:26,293 Speaker 2: I think more and more teenage boys are getting given 373 00:17:26,333 --> 00:17:29,413 Speaker 2: their dad's flash car just because he doesn't want them 374 00:17:29,413 --> 00:17:33,173 Speaker 2: traveling between cities and rubbish cars without the all the 375 00:17:33,213 --> 00:17:33,853 Speaker 2: safety feature. 376 00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:35,373 Speaker 4: It's a great point.

So this was last year. 396 00:18:27,893 --> 00:18:31,613 Speaker 2: I was talking before about the Italian speed camera vigilantee. 397 00:18:32,333 --> 00:18:36,173 Speaker 2: His name was Flexi Man. Itally has been gripped by 398 00:18:36,173 --> 00:18:38,333 Speaker 2: a vigilante who calls himself Flexi Man, and he has 399 00:18:38,373 --> 00:18:40,253 Speaker 2: made it his mission to tear down as many speed 400 00:18:40,253 --> 00:18:43,093 Speaker 2: cameras as possible. Flex Man has already claimed at least 401 00:18:43,093 --> 00:18:46,532 Speaker 2: fifteen successful strikes, and a special police task force and 402 00:18:46,613 --> 00:18:49,533 Speaker 2: four different prosecutors officer are now investigating the attacks. The 403 00:18:49,533 --> 00:18:52,733 Speaker 2: anonymous vandal began leaving a trail of destruction months ago 404 00:18:52,733 --> 00:18:55,333 Speaker 2: in the Northeast as more and more of the cameras 405 00:18:55,333 --> 00:18:58,853 Speaker 2: were put out of action. So if we have more 406 00:18:58,853 --> 00:19:01,333 Speaker 2: speed cameras in New Zealand, do you think we'll get 407 00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:02,693 Speaker 2: our own Flexi Man? I hope. 408 00:19:02,733 --> 00:19:05,532 Speaker 4: So that sounds like a great story closing in on 409 00:19:05,653 --> 00:19:06,333 Speaker 4: Flexi Man. 410 00:19:06,493 --> 00:19:11,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll keep looking and see if Flexi Man. Wow, 411 00:19:11,413 --> 00:19:13,453 Speaker 2: he rarely did some damage to that camera. I think 412 00:19:13,453 --> 00:19:15,493 Speaker 2: he's got a couple of accomplices there as well. Doesn't 413 00:19:15,533 --> 00:19:18,453 Speaker 2: he has Flexi Man been found? Yeah, I don't know 414 00:19:18,453 --> 00:19:22,853 Speaker 2: if Flexi Man is still operational. Guys, in the UK, 415 00:19:22,933 --> 00:19:26,613 Speaker 2: they have averaging speed cameras on all motorways. They measure 416 00:19:26,613 --> 00:19:29,292 Speaker 2: your speed so there is no way to avoid it. 417 00:19:29,613 --> 00:19:31,813 Speaker 2: And this Texas is in the UK it's illegal to 418 00:19:31,853 --> 00:19:34,053 Speaker 2: be given a speeding ticket via camera without being a 419 00:19:34,093 --> 00:19:39,373 Speaker 2: prior warning sign. But that's the same here. New Zealand. 420 00:19:39,373 --> 00:19:42,333 Speaker 2: Transport Agency puts fixed safety cameras on high rest stretches 421 00:19:42,373 --> 00:19:44,853 Speaker 2: of road, and we're installing signs so they know there 422 00:19:44,893 --> 00:19:47,653 Speaker 2: is a fixed safety camera nearby. So there is always 423 00:19:47,693 --> 00:19:51,573 Speaker 2: a sign saying that you're in a fixed camera era. 424 00:19:51,693 --> 00:19:54,093 Speaker 2: But they don't have to have the signs if they've 425 00:19:54,093 --> 00:19:55,973 Speaker 2: got some wound or parked on the side of the 426 00:19:56,013 --> 00:19:56,613 Speaker 2: road in a car. 427 00:19:56,813 --> 00:19:59,413 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I can understand why they wouldn't have a 428 00:19:59,453 --> 00:20:02,213 Speaker 4: fixed sign there because the van is moving around all 429 00:20:02,213 --> 00:20:04,093 Speaker 4: the time, but just a temporary sign to say, hey, 430 00:20:04,293 --> 00:20:09,173 Speaker 4: just FYI, there's a speed camera van coming up. Uh, Peter, 431 00:20:10,053 --> 00:20:11,933 Speaker 4: you reckon. These new vans are pretty under cover. 432 00:20:13,853 --> 00:20:16,173 Speaker 13: Well yeah, yeah, I was just a little bit confused, 433 00:20:16,213 --> 00:20:19,653 Speaker 13: I was saying to you. I get I get confused easily. 434 00:20:19,653 --> 00:20:20,733 Speaker 14: But thank you. 435 00:20:20,773 --> 00:20:21,173 Speaker 2: Produced. 436 00:20:22,293 --> 00:20:26,333 Speaker 13: But when you guys said that the new ones are 437 00:20:26,413 --> 00:20:29,733 Speaker 13: very inconspicuous, the current ones are as well. I mean 438 00:20:29,773 --> 00:20:32,413 Speaker 13: there's no a lot of them are high end, do 439 00:20:32,893 --> 00:20:36,053 Speaker 13: look like delivery vans. There's no writing on the sides, 440 00:20:36,053 --> 00:20:38,253 Speaker 13: and not the ones that I've ever seen, and there's 441 00:20:38,253 --> 00:20:43,613 Speaker 13: no indications that they are a speed camera van. Until 442 00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:45,973 Speaker 13: you get close enough and it takes photo of you, 443 00:20:45,973 --> 00:20:49,493 Speaker 13: you might see a flash but generally the ones I've 444 00:20:49,533 --> 00:20:52,653 Speaker 13: seen are no different, or the new ones are a 445 00:20:52,813 --> 00:20:57,173 Speaker 13: toiler toileter wrap fours, that's a bit different, But the 446 00:20:57,293 --> 00:21:00,013 Speaker 13: one I'm being used at the moment are pretty inconspicuous. 447 00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:03,213 Speaker 13: And that's why I always take note of every vehicle 448 00:21:03,253 --> 00:21:05,213 Speaker 13: I see parked on the side of the road, because 449 00:21:05,213 --> 00:21:07,053 Speaker 13: you never know what it's going to be. 450 00:21:07,253 --> 00:21:08,532 Speaker 2: So if you see, if you see it, if you 451 00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:12,533 Speaker 2: see an older vehicle, say something that's early two thousands 452 00:21:12,573 --> 00:21:14,693 Speaker 2: or earlier, you're like that, that's just a car that's 453 00:21:14,733 --> 00:21:17,813 Speaker 2: been either a dowy ride dumping or someone's broken down. 454 00:21:17,653 --> 00:21:19,053 Speaker 4: Like in this and premiere or something. 455 00:21:19,053 --> 00:21:22,333 Speaker 2: But any kind of any kind of reasonably modern car, 456 00:21:22,413 --> 00:21:24,573 Speaker 2: anything over about twenty fifteen, you. 457 00:21:24,573 --> 00:21:30,213 Speaker 13: Go maybe yep, exactly exactly, and and specifically with the 458 00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:32,813 Speaker 13: with the vans, because the vans are pretty obvious, really, 459 00:21:33,453 --> 00:21:36,693 Speaker 13: and now that you guys are broadcast, the reinforces are 460 00:21:36,693 --> 00:21:38,773 Speaker 13: going to be pretty obvious too.

I am a tuned looking out for vans 464 00:21:44,813 --> 00:21:47,093 Speaker 4: on the side of the road now, and more often 465 00:21:47,093 --> 00:21:49,133 Speaker 4: than not, it's just backpackers who have pulled up on 466 00:21:49,173 --> 00:21:50,733 Speaker 4: the side of the road, but I can see that 467 00:21:50,853 --> 00:21:52,573 Speaker 4: van from a mile away. It's like when the cops 468 00:21:52,653 --> 00:21:55,213 Speaker 4: change the police cars, we all got to tune the 469 00:21:55,253 --> 00:21:57,653 Speaker 4: spotting commodore's coming up in the distance and thinking, oh, 470 00:21:57,733 --> 00:22:00,333 Speaker 4: that might be a police officer.

But funny enough, 485 00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:44,213 Speaker 13: the Russians used to come out here when the when 486 00:22:44,253 --> 00:22:46,973 Speaker 13: the Russian fishing vessels were used to go around their 487 00:22:46,973 --> 00:22:49,213 Speaker 13: coast they used to buy up the scooters and the 488 00:22:49,293 --> 00:22:51,453 Speaker 13: larders and take it back to Rutta because they were 489 00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:52,053 Speaker 13: a flesh car. 490 00:22:52,533 --> 00:22:53,013 Speaker 1: Yeah, but. 491 00:22:54,813 --> 00:22:56,653 Speaker 2: This is off topic in Peter, but I used to 492 00:22:56,693 --> 00:23:00,293 Speaker 2: have a pretty fency done up fee at one two 493 00:23:00,333 --> 00:23:03,813 Speaker 2: five mags on it and everything. It was a great car, 494 00:23:04,093 --> 00:23:07,693 Speaker 2: but it looked exactly like a larder because the Russians 495 00:23:07,733 --> 00:23:09,693 Speaker 2: behind their own and had bought the design for the 496 00:23:09,813 --> 00:23:12,773 Speaker 2: Fiat one two five.

We did 502 00:23:26,693 --> 00:23:28,773 Speaker 13: a trip up and you put usrom Wennington last weekend 503 00:23:29,253 --> 00:23:31,413 Speaker 13: and there was two places and an actual effect if 504 00:23:31,413 --> 00:23:37,493 Speaker 13: you go onto the onto the the Trainsport website, you 505 00:23:37,533 --> 00:23:40,773 Speaker 13: will see when you look at the root conditions and 506 00:23:40,813 --> 00:23:43,333 Speaker 13: it actually indicates on there where they have these what 507 00:23:43,333 --> 00:23:46,573 Speaker 13: they call now safety cameras. I'm not sure why it's 508 00:23:46,613 --> 00:23:50,013 Speaker 13: called a safety cameras. It's really a speed camera, but 509 00:23:50,173 --> 00:23:52,733 Speaker 13: they're well marked. It's a little like when you're simon 510 00:23:52,813 --> 00:23:54,173 Speaker 13: up to party Lane and you're going to you're got 511 00:23:54,253 --> 00:23:57,373 Speaker 13: to sign the two kilometers before you get there. These 512 00:23:57,413 --> 00:24:00,253 Speaker 13: cameras were marked a couple of CA's before you actually 513 00:24:00,293 --> 00:24:01,613 Speaker 13: got there, and then when you got there, there was 514 00:24:01,653 --> 00:24:04,493 Speaker 13: another big sign before you actually got in range of 515 00:24:04,493 --> 00:24:07,613 Speaker 13: the camera. So I sort of look at that and 516 00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:11,693 Speaker 13: think that's fine, But it only slows down the traffic 517 00:24:12,333 --> 00:24:14,693 Speaker 13: if the traffic is going fast for that part of 518 00:24:14,733 --> 00:24:17,853 Speaker 13: the journey, maybe fifty or sixty meters, you know what 519 00:24:17,893 --> 00:24:21,292 Speaker 13: I mean, and then everybody's back up to the one 520 00:24:21,373 --> 00:24:23,413 Speaker 13: hundred and ten a in or one hundred and fifteen 521 00:24:23,533 --> 00:24:30,253 Speaker 13: or whatever. So yeah, I'm not necessarily a fan of them, 522 00:24:30,333 --> 00:24:33,973 Speaker 13: but they do I guess they do. They do generate 523 00:24:34,013 --> 00:24:39,013 Speaker 13: revenue for the government and for the transport government. 524 00:24:39,093 --> 00:24:39,213 Speaker 3: Ye. 525 00:24:39,413 --> 00:24:41,253 Speaker 2: Well, well what annoys me though, is the revenue that they 526 00:24:41,853 --> 00:24:44,693 Speaker 2: that they generate goes into a sort of consolidated fund, 527 00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:48,613 Speaker 2: doesn't it. It does, so that opens it up to feelings 528 00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:52,773 Speaker 2: that you're being the leased and it's just a revenue exercise. 529 00:24:53,093 --> 00:24:58,493 Speaker 2: If it went directly towards traffic safety or improving the 530 00:24:58,573 --> 00:25:01,333 Speaker 2: roads so that they were safer, then I would be 531 00:25:01,493 --> 00:25:04,893 Speaker 2: I would be much more open to just having cameras 532 00:25:04,973 --> 00:25:08,333 Speaker 2: everywhere and everyone getting pained because they make the roads 533 00:25:08,613 --> 00:25:10,613 Speaker 2: and eventually, you know, if you make roads safe enough 534 00:25:10,653 --> 00:25:14,973 Speaker 2: and they've got enough lanes and you get to going 535 00:25:15,053 --> 00:25:18,133 Speaker 2: one way and going the other way separated, then then 536 00:25:18,173 --> 00:25:19,693 Speaker 2: you can put the speed limits up to one hundred 537 00:25:19,693 --> 00:25:21,853 Speaker 2: and ten. But they ain't. They just siphon that money 538 00:25:21,893 --> 00:25:23,413 Speaker 2: off and then just sprayt around a bunch of other 539 00:25:23,453 --> 00:25:26,293 Speaker 2: stupid stuff. Yeah, exactly, you. 540 00:25:26,253 --> 00:25:26,613 Speaker 11: Did, right. 541 00:25:26,693 --> 00:25:28,973 Speaker 13: Yeah, I'd love to see it going various, you know, Yeah, 542 00:25:29,013 --> 00:25:30,973 Speaker 13: medium bars down down the middle of the road, because 543 00:25:30,973 --> 00:25:32,933 Speaker 13: I do think save hundreds of life. 544 00:25:33,173 --> 00:25:35,533 Speaker 2: Because speed is one thing, Peter. Another thing is that 545 00:25:35,573 --> 00:25:38,173 Speaker 2: the person coming the other way could be could be drunk, 546 00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:41,773 Speaker 2: they could be an idiot, they could be asleep, and 547 00:25:41,933 --> 00:25:43,853 Speaker 2: you don't know who's coming the other way. And if 548 00:25:43,453 --> 00:25:45,373 Speaker 2: they if they could be going one hundred k the 549 00:25:45,413 --> 00:25:47,293 Speaker 2: other way and you're going one hundred k this way, 550 00:25:47,373 --> 00:25:51,693 Speaker 2: and if you're just separated by paint, that's that's more 551 00:25:51,693 --> 00:25:52,453 Speaker 2: than enough mess. 552 00:25:52,573 --> 00:25:57,013 Speaker 4: Yeah, Peter, thank you very much for giving us a buzz. 553 00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,533 Speaker 2: Great to chat.

Neil, absolutely, 582 00:27:39,573 --> 00:27:41,893 Speaker 2: No one did that. No, what a very odd text. 583 00:27:41,933 --> 00:27:45,133 Speaker 2: We were talking about Fleximan, a guy in Italy who 584 00:27:45,293 --> 00:27:48,013 Speaker 2: was destroying roadside cameras and the fact that someone is 585 00:27:48,053 --> 00:27:50,653 Speaker 2: doing it and you're talking about it doesn't mean that 586 00:27:50,693 --> 00:27:54,013 Speaker 2: you're supporting that. No, that's a ridiculous call. But he 587 00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:59,532 Speaker 2: was called Fleximan, after the German company that developed the 588 00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:02,213 Speaker 2: Excel grind at the Angle grinder, that's why. And a 589 00:28:02,253 --> 00:28:04,493 Speaker 2: lot of it's been happening in the UK as well. 590 00:28:04,613 --> 00:28:08,333 Speaker 2: Nearly one thousand of the ULZ cameras have been target 591 00:28:08,533 --> 00:28:10,973 Speaker 2: in the last seven months alone in London, with two 592 00:28:11,053 --> 00:28:13,773 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty being stolen in seven hundred and sixty 593 00:28:13,773 --> 00:28:16,693 Speaker 2: seven damaged. But Neil, if you just think for more 594 00:28:16,733 --> 00:28:20,373 Speaker 2: than fifteen seconds before you text, you'd realize reading that 595 00:28:20,493 --> 00:28:23,293 Speaker 2: out is not endorsing. We're not saying go out and 596 00:28:23,333 --> 00:28:26,893 Speaker 2: be forty man. Otherwise, every time anyone said anything on 597 00:28:26,933 --> 00:28:30,453 Speaker 2: the news, they'd be endorsing it. That's right, you genius. 598 00:28:30,493 --> 00:28:32,773 Speaker 4: Come on, Neil, get with the program. Oh one hundred 599 00:28:32,773 --> 00:28:34,653 Speaker 4: and eighty ten eighty is a number to call, Trevor. 600 00:28:34,733 --> 00:28:36,373 Speaker 4: Welcome to the show.

You tune up to court in those pants and. 734 00:34:25,173 --> 00:34:26,733 Speaker 4: The judge is not going to have any of it. 735 00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,373 Speaker 4: You know, they don't have sets of humor. 736 00:34:28,173 --> 00:34:30,333 Speaker 2: And the justice system would be one of the great 737 00:34:30,333 --> 00:34:33,253 Speaker 2: on goals. I just really love these pants. They've got 738 00:34:33,293 --> 00:34:35,213 Speaker 2: pictures of cell phones on them, but you're on it. 739 00:34:35,213 --> 00:34:37,933 Speaker 4: It's just pictures just right to the slammer, straight to 740 00:34:37,973 --> 00:34:38,453 Speaker 4: the tasering. 741 00:34:42,453 --> 00:34:44,373 Speaker 2: Sorry anyway, Eddie, welcome to the show. 742 00:34:46,613 --> 00:34:46,973 Speaker 14: Idea. 743 00:34:48,813 --> 00:34:51,053 Speaker 18: So, what I was thinking about the cameras is, you know, 744 00:34:51,093 --> 00:34:54,373 Speaker 18: I've come across many situations where people see the speed 745 00:34:54,453 --> 00:34:58,013 Speaker 18: cameras for the slow for the camera and then speed 746 00:34:58,093 --> 00:35:00,773 Speaker 18: back up again. So what I thought was really effective, 747 00:35:00,813 --> 00:35:03,732 Speaker 18: and I visited Sydney last year, they have these. They 748 00:35:03,733 --> 00:35:06,773 Speaker 18: have these two cameras. One is said, about a kilometer 749 00:35:06,853 --> 00:35:09,933 Speaker 18: away from the other, so the one registers when the 750 00:35:09,973 --> 00:35:12,493 Speaker 18: car enters that camera, it registers it. And then when 751 00:35:12,653 --> 00:35:15,413 Speaker 18: if the car crosses the other camera before a certain 752 00:35:15,453 --> 00:35:17,893 Speaker 18: amount of time, then the camera knows that you've been 753 00:35:17,933 --> 00:35:21,293 Speaker 18: speeding through the entire distance, so that I think is 754 00:35:21,333 --> 00:35:25,373 Speaker 18: a more effective way of managing speeds on the road. 755 00:35:26,093 --> 00:35:28,453 Speaker 18: And also talking about the sandwich, I'm a nurse and 756 00:35:29,253 --> 00:35:32,292 Speaker 18: have come I've seen many accidents and the root course 757 00:35:32,333 --> 00:35:35,533 Speaker 18: of those distraction and with the phone on the thigh, 758 00:35:35,613 --> 00:35:37,813 Speaker 18: there's a risk that always you're picking the phone or 759 00:35:37,853 --> 00:35:39,933 Speaker 18: phone's going to pull down. There's always a risk that 760 00:35:40,093 --> 00:35:43,293 Speaker 18: your concentration is going towards the phone, and then there 761 00:35:43,373 --> 00:35:45,333 Speaker 18: is a risk of crashing into the vehicle in front 762 00:35:45,373 --> 00:35:47,933 Speaker 18: of you. So I totally agree with with why they're 763 00:35:47,973 --> 00:35:51,053 Speaker 18: fine for things like that, and I'm also safety on 764 00:35:51,093 --> 00:35:51,693 Speaker 18: the roads. 765 00:35:52,133 --> 00:35:55,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, but die, I absolutely agree if you're looking down 766 00:35:55,373 --> 00:35:59,613 Speaker 2: at your phone or texting talking on your phone, but 767 00:35:59,893 --> 00:36:02,253 Speaker 2: for whatever reason, you just happen to have your phone 768 00:36:02,333 --> 00:36:05,653 Speaker 2: on your knee if you're not using it. Also, I 769 00:36:05,693 --> 00:36:06,893 Speaker 2: mean a lot of people say why would you need 770 00:36:06,933 --> 00:36:08,333 Speaker 2: to have your phone on your knee, But who knows. 771 00:36:08,373 --> 00:36:09,733 Speaker 2: There could be a number of reasons you could have. 772 00:36:11,613 --> 00:36:14,133 Speaker 2: There could be another of reasons. Maybe I don't know, 773 00:36:14,693 --> 00:36:16,973 Speaker 2: who knows. I can't think of one. Yeah, to be fair, eddiot, 774 00:36:16,973 --> 00:36:18,453 Speaker 2: I can't think of one. But there will be reasons 775 00:36:18,453 --> 00:36:22,133 Speaker 2: out there. But yeah, so absolutely. Though I think eating 776 00:36:22,173 --> 00:36:26,333 Speaker 2: and driving is pretty and you've experienced at I think 777 00:36:26,373 --> 00:36:28,533 Speaker 2: that kind of distraction is quite definitely. 778 00:36:28,613 --> 00:36:31,293 Speaker 4: We all know these carse foods and there's very unsafe 779 00:36:31,333 --> 00:36:33,333 Speaker 4: car foods. Like you said, the pie, the hot pie, 780 00:36:33,413 --> 00:36:36,453 Speaker 4: very dangerous, the open sandwich. You can't be doing that, yeah, 781 00:36:36,493 --> 00:36:38,173 Speaker 4: beg of chips, that's car safe. 782 00:36:38,933 --> 00:36:42,813 Speaker 18: Well, I think driving driving needs full concentration whatsoever. I 783 00:36:42,853 --> 00:36:45,533 Speaker 18: don't think you should be doing anything while driving. You stop, 784 00:36:45,693 --> 00:36:48,212 Speaker 18: take a stop and eat or do whatever you want, 785 00:36:48,413 --> 00:36:50,813 Speaker 18: and when you're driving, concentrates fully on the road, and 786 00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:52,773 Speaker 18: that's that's going to stay late. 787 00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:55,172 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people forget because we drive 788 00:36:55,253 --> 00:36:58,533 Speaker 2: so much, just how incredibly dangerous driving is. And you know, 789 00:36:58,613 --> 00:37:01,133 Speaker 2: my son's getting a license a moment, idiot, and I 790 00:37:01,173 --> 00:37:03,453 Speaker 2: said to him, the most dangerous thing you are going 791 00:37:03,533 --> 00:37:08,053 Speaker 2: to do in your life is driving this car between cities. 792 00:37:08,133 --> 00:37:11,333 Speaker 2: That is the most dangerous thing. So people have to 793 00:37:11,413 --> 00:37:14,293 Speaker 2: keep in mind that that that the awesome responsibility, not 794 00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:16,893 Speaker 2: just your own safety, but other people, especially in New 795 00:37:16,973 --> 00:37:20,493 Speaker 2: Zealand with crazy winding roads and just being separated by paint. 796 00:37:20,733 --> 00:37:24,293 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's a very fair point. Distraction I think 797 00:37:24,373 --> 00:37:25,853 Speaker 4: is the biggest cause of excellent. 798 00:37:25,973 --> 00:37:28,652 Speaker 18: Sorry you carry on, Yes, no, I was just saying, 799 00:37:28,653 --> 00:37:31,853 Speaker 18: it only takes seconds for an accident, so you know, 800 00:37:31,933 --> 00:37:34,212 Speaker 18: the moment you look down and look back up, you're 801 00:37:34,213 --> 00:37:36,413 Speaker 18: already in the crash and you'll probably kill yourself or 802 00:37:36,493 --> 00:37:38,973 Speaker 18: kill somebody. So that's how important it is. 803 00:37:39,173 --> 00:37:41,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you so much for you call idiot. 804 00:37:41,973 --> 00:37:46,413 Speaker 2: I would say though, most probably distracting meal to have 805 00:37:46,493 --> 00:37:48,533 Speaker 2: on your lap would be like a full roast dinner 806 00:37:48,853 --> 00:37:55,853 Speaker 2: with Yorkshire pod and beef and or maybe maybe pork crackling. Yeah, pease, 807 00:37:56,053 --> 00:37:57,453 Speaker 2: trasing them around that would be tough. 808 00:37:57,533 --> 00:37:59,253 Speaker 4: I mean it sounds delicious, but yeah, you get in 809 00:37:59,293 --> 00:38:01,373 Speaker 4: the knife and fork out why you're down the highway. 810 00:38:01,853 --> 00:38:04,773 Speaker 2: If you're doing that, you deserve to not only be tased, 811 00:38:04,813 --> 00:38:07,813 Speaker 2: but probably put away for a few years, right if 812 00:38:07,813 --> 00:38:08,173 Speaker 2: you call it? 813 00:38:08,453 --> 00:38:10,413 Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you very much.

It's Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons 817 00:38:22,173 --> 00:38:22,733 Speaker 1: News Talks. 818 00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:27,053 Speaker 4: The News Talks. There be five to two steven, what's 819 00:38:27,093 --> 00:38:27,933 Speaker 4: your thoughts. 820 00:38:28,253 --> 00:38:31,172 Speaker 6: Hey, guys, here's are going good? Yeah, don't. I don't 821 00:38:31,173 --> 00:38:35,212 Speaker 6: think they should be published if anyone, look, I've met 822 00:38:35,293 --> 00:38:39,093 Speaker 6: I've sped at times and you just realize, you know, 823 00:38:39,533 --> 00:38:42,253 Speaker 6: your speed can get up pretty quickly. But unless anyone 824 00:38:42,293 --> 00:38:45,773 Speaker 6: has lost a family member to a road accident, not 825 00:38:45,853 --> 00:38:49,013 Speaker 6: really in a position to comment on just the effect 826 00:38:49,053 --> 00:38:52,533 Speaker 6: it can it can have. And your previous caller referred 827 00:38:52,573 --> 00:38:55,453 Speaker 6: specifically to the what we know as point to point cameras, 828 00:38:55,733 --> 00:38:58,413 Speaker 6: which are very common in Australia. I lived over there 829 00:38:58,413 --> 00:39:00,373 Speaker 6: for a couple of years and I was very very 830 00:39:00,413 --> 00:39:03,093 Speaker 6: aware that it wasn't the single camera that was going 831 00:39:03,133 --> 00:39:05,212 Speaker 6: to get you. It was the one five kilometers down 832 00:39:05,213 --> 00:39:09,093 Speaker 6: the road that was taking an average average speed, and 833 00:39:09,133 --> 00:39:13,813 Speaker 6: that is a far more effective and fear system. So no, 834 00:39:14,253 --> 00:39:18,093 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be in favor of them being publicized.

You welcome back into the show. 863 00:40:46,293 --> 00:40:49,173 Speaker 4: A new topic for you very very shortly. 864 00:40:50,093 --> 00:40:52,733 Speaker 2: So I've just been you know, the victim of a 865 00:40:52,773 --> 00:40:54,853 Speaker 2: scam or an attempted scam. You know one of those 866 00:40:54,893 --> 00:40:58,573 Speaker 2: post scams that you get where they send in and say, 867 00:40:58,613 --> 00:41:01,893 Speaker 2: you know, you've a package has come for you, but 868 00:41:02,093 --> 00:41:04,973 Speaker 2: it just got slight the details wrong. Press this thing, yep, 869 00:41:05,053 --> 00:41:09,173 Speaker 2: this this link here, the weaker type of scam. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 870 00:41:09,213 --> 00:41:13,293 Speaker 2: but this one has come from Lundy seven to one 871 00:41:13,493 --> 00:41:17,692 Speaker 2: two three n at gmail dot com. 872 00:41:17,733 --> 00:41:20,213 Speaker 4: Well that is a little bit close for comfort, isn't it, 873 00:41:20,253 --> 00:41:23,093 Speaker 4: considering what we were talking about yesterday on the show. 874 00:41:23,813 --> 00:41:29,733 Speaker 2: But I don't know that is too much of a coincidence. Yeah, well, no, 875 00:41:29,853 --> 00:41:31,373 Speaker 2: I don't think it would be a coincidence at all. 876 00:41:31,413 --> 00:41:33,973 Speaker 2: I mean, I think whoever sending these ones out, it's 877 00:41:34,093 --> 00:41:37,053 Speaker 2: probably running an AI from overseas across what's being talked 878 00:41:37,093 --> 00:41:38,933 Speaker 2: about a lot in New Zealand at the moment. Yeah, 879 00:41:39,013 --> 00:41:41,373 Speaker 2: and so Lundy has popped up. There's probably some algorithm 880 00:41:41,453 --> 00:41:45,693 Speaker 2: that grabs some things that might you know, grab people's 881 00:41:45,693 --> 00:41:48,453 Speaker 2: attention or whatever it might look legit. Yeah, but they've 882 00:41:48,453 --> 00:41:52,252 Speaker 2: got this one wrong. Well, I grabbed your attention. Yeah, 883 00:41:52,253 --> 00:41:54,333 Speaker 2: But I mean I'm never going to fall for it anyone, 884 00:41:54,413 --> 00:41:56,493 Speaker 2: And I can't believe people do still fall for those 885 00:41:56,533 --> 00:41:59,172 Speaker 2: that saying that was a package being delivered, but we 886 00:41:59,213 --> 00:42:01,973 Speaker 2: need all your details to be sent through whatever. But 887 00:42:02,213 --> 00:42:05,173 Speaker 2: just funny, yeah, funny that it came through from a 888 00:42:05,253 --> 00:42:07,173 Speaker 2: LUNDI of very goods. 889 00:42:07,453 --> 00:42:09,373 Speaker 4: Do you get a few of them? Actually, you were 890 00:42:09,373 --> 00:42:11,053 Speaker 4: talking about that yesterday you were getting flooded. 891 00:42:11,053 --> 00:42:14,813 Speaker 2: Well, I'm getting absolutely hammered by people claiming that they've 892 00:42:14,853 --> 00:42:17,692 Speaker 2: got past parcels arriving. I mean, if it's ever a 893 00:42:17,813 --> 00:42:22,493 Speaker 2: Gmail address worth some words and then a whole lot 894 00:42:22,493 --> 00:42:25,933 Speaker 2: of random numbers, it's not real. Yeah. Yeah, that's an 895 00:42:25,973 --> 00:42:28,413 Speaker 2: easy one. I mean, you know, if it actually does 896 00:42:28,493 --> 00:42:32,813 Speaker 2: come from New Zealand Post, it's a very very distinctive email, 897 00:42:33,053 --> 00:42:35,293 Speaker 2: very official looking, and they don't ask for any information 898 00:42:35,413 --> 00:42:38,573 Speaker 2: from Sethically it's important to remember. And look, you know, 899 00:42:38,653 --> 00:42:40,613 Speaker 2: Lundy's out on parole. He's not abound to be running 900 00:42:40,613 --> 00:42:43,133 Speaker 2: a male scam. So I'm pretty sure it's not from Lundy. 901 00:42:43,213 --> 00:42:44,093 Speaker 2: I don't think he has a phone. 902 00:42:44,133 --> 00:42:46,252 Speaker 4: Yeah, So anyway, we can put that one to bed. 903 00:42:46,733 --> 00:42:49,213 Speaker 4: Let's have a chat about getting into the family business 904 00:42:49,333 --> 00:42:53,013 Speaker 4: on the back of a story. Nice story, actually, Rinaldo. 905 00:42:53,213 --> 00:42:56,252 Speaker 4: Here's fifteen year old son fourteen year old son. Rather, 906 00:42:56,413 --> 00:42:59,373 Speaker 4: he has just been selected for the under fifteen national 907 00:42:59,453 --> 00:43:03,933 Speaker 4: side in Portugal. So he's absolutely following in his father's footsteps, 908 00:43:03,933 --> 00:43:07,013 Speaker 4: following the family business, so to speak, in the world 909 00:43:07,093 --> 00:43:08,893 Speaker 4: of football. But we wanted to make it a bit 910 00:43:09,053 --> 00:43:12,093 Speaker 4: broader than that. On those of you listening right now 911 00:43:12,093 --> 00:43:15,653 Speaker 4: that did go into the family business, or at least 912 00:43:15,653 --> 00:43:18,333 Speaker 4: followed the same career path as one of your parents. 913 00:43:18,733 --> 00:43:20,613 Speaker 2: I wonder if you go as well as Bronnie James. 914 00:43:21,213 --> 00:43:23,253 Speaker 2: That's not good. Bronnie James shouldn't be there anyway. That's 915 00:43:23,293 --> 00:43:26,732 Speaker 2: a whole another issue around lebron James's son playing together 916 00:43:26,773 --> 00:43:30,893 Speaker 2: in the NBA. Yeah, So going into the family business, 917 00:43:31,493 --> 00:43:32,933 Speaker 2: have you done it? What are the what are the 918 00:43:32,973 --> 00:43:35,693 Speaker 2: fish fish hooks about it? What what's it like to 919 00:43:35,733 --> 00:43:37,573 Speaker 2: be in the family business? 920 00:43:39,573 --> 00:43:39,893 Speaker 1: Uh? 921 00:43:40,053 --> 00:43:42,533 Speaker 2: You know, you have this idea in your head that 922 00:43:42,973 --> 00:43:46,333 Speaker 2: you'll go often and forge your own path in life. 923 00:43:46,893 --> 00:43:49,212 Speaker 2: A lot of us do. But is that the right thing? 924 00:43:49,413 --> 00:43:49,533 Speaker 2: Is it? 925 00:43:49,693 --> 00:43:49,893 Speaker 3: Is it? 926 00:43:50,013 --> 00:43:51,933 Speaker 2: Is it better to you if there's a good, solid 927 00:43:51,973 --> 00:43:56,093 Speaker 2: family business, you just lean into that and and then 928 00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:58,853 Speaker 2: you make your mark on that business. And and that's 929 00:43:58,853 --> 00:44:00,933 Speaker 2: a great life, and it's a great legacy of the 930 00:44:00,973 --> 00:44:04,853 Speaker 2: family or if you do that, or you just you 931 00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:06,053 Speaker 2: what's the word giving up? 932 00:44:06,333 --> 00:44:07,173 Speaker 19: Have you not? Have you not? 933 00:44:08,013 --> 00:44:09,853 Speaker 2: Is it just easy option? Yeah? I can see the 934 00:44:09,893 --> 00:44:10,373 Speaker 2: appeal of it. 935 00:44:10,413 --> 00:44:12,733 Speaker 4: If it is a family business that has gone through 936 00:44:12,893 --> 00:44:16,933 Speaker 4: multiple generations and has done very well at supporting the family, 937 00:44:17,213 --> 00:44:20,453 Speaker 4: the appeal to take it over would be quite strong 938 00:44:20,573 --> 00:44:22,692 Speaker 4: because it all it's ready to go, right, I mean, 939 00:44:22,733 --> 00:44:25,213 Speaker 4: clearly you've got to have some skills involved and that 940 00:44:25,373 --> 00:44:28,213 Speaker 4: handover from the father, mother to the children. 941 00:44:28,893 --> 00:44:30,453 Speaker 2: But it's good to go. 942 00:44:30,693 --> 00:44:33,413 Speaker 4: You could see your future set up for you, and 943 00:44:33,493 --> 00:44:36,853 Speaker 4: there's that pride of taking on the family business that 944 00:44:37,173 --> 00:44:38,693 Speaker 4: previous generations have worked out for. 945 00:44:38,973 --> 00:44:41,493 Speaker 2: You're a member of the Adams family, I find amusing. 946 00:44:42,693 --> 00:44:45,773 Speaker 4: So I could. 947 00:44:45,573 --> 00:44:47,172 Speaker 2: Have guessed that you'd be a friend of a member 948 00:44:47,173 --> 00:44:49,013 Speaker 2: of the Adam's family. Works perfectly, But anyway, that's not 949 00:44:49,013 --> 00:44:54,293 Speaker 2: an issue. Your dad successful electrician? Yes, the electric company? Yep, 950 00:44:54,333 --> 00:44:57,333 Speaker 2: the electric company, great name. Were you and your brother 951 00:44:57,413 --> 00:45:01,053 Speaker 2: ever tempted to go into business with your dad and 952 00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:04,373 Speaker 2: work away with them in the van and then go 953 00:45:04,453 --> 00:45:05,813 Speaker 2: on and take over the business. 954 00:45:05,853 --> 00:45:08,773 Speaker 4: There was a point that I actually was looking seriously 955 00:45:08,813 --> 00:45:12,453 Speaker 4: into following him into becoming a sparky but Dad, and 956 00:45:12,493 --> 00:45:15,173 Speaker 4: strangely for Dad, and I think running his own business, 957 00:45:15,173 --> 00:45:17,693 Speaker 4: he came up against a whole bunch of challenges and 958 00:45:17,693 --> 00:45:20,973 Speaker 4: people letting him down. It wasn't fun for Dad for 959 00:45:21,013 --> 00:45:22,933 Speaker 4: a long time there with his business. So he said 960 00:45:23,013 --> 00:45:25,733 Speaker 4: to me and my brothers that I don't want you 961 00:45:25,773 --> 00:45:28,133 Speaker 4: to get into a trade. I will if you get 962 00:45:28,173 --> 00:45:30,813 Speaker 4: into a profession where you use your brain instead of 963 00:45:30,813 --> 00:45:32,973 Speaker 4: your hands, I will buy each of you a car. 964 00:45:33,373 --> 00:45:35,613 Speaker 2: And he did. We took the car right. 965 00:45:35,773 --> 00:45:38,333 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a nice Sabari legacy actually nineteen ninety one. 966 00:45:38,453 --> 00:45:41,453 Speaker 2: So he thought that you were so useless that he 967 00:45:41,493 --> 00:45:43,652 Speaker 2: would pay you off with a car rather than have 968 00:45:43,733 --> 00:45:44,693 Speaker 2: you getting into the trade. 969 00:45:44,733 --> 00:45:46,413 Speaker 4: I told you what happened with the jib. Will you 970 00:45:46,453 --> 00:45:48,333 Speaker 4: know when I accidentally cut the wrong hole and he 971 00:45:48,373 --> 00:45:50,813 Speaker 4: came in and absolutely flipped out. But yeah, it was 972 00:45:50,813 --> 00:45:53,133 Speaker 4: a strange thing, and I think he thought it was 973 00:45:53,173 --> 00:45:56,933 Speaker 4: hard graft. And whether that was the experience of everybody 974 00:45:57,013 --> 00:45:59,013 Speaker 4: that gets into a trade, clearly it's not. Clearly that 975 00:45:59,133 --> 00:46:01,053 Speaker 4: is a very very good career choice for a lot 976 00:46:01,053 --> 00:46:01,413 Speaker 4: of people. 977 00:46:01,533 --> 00:46:05,333 Speaker 2: Maybe a few years ago now the trades weren't held 978 00:46:05,413 --> 00:46:08,973 Speaker 2: in the same level of respect they are now and 979 00:46:09,013 --> 00:46:11,373 Speaker 2: now I think every parent would be stoked if their 980 00:46:11,413 --> 00:46:12,413 Speaker 2: kids went into the trades. 981 00:46:12,573 --> 00:46:12,692 Speaker 1: Well. 982 00:46:12,733 --> 00:46:14,973 Speaker 4: Also a big part of it was granddad was a sparky. 983 00:46:15,013 --> 00:46:18,613 Speaker 4: So dad actually did follow the family business and followed 984 00:46:18,693 --> 00:46:21,893 Speaker 4: his dad into the career path of being a sparky. 985 00:46:21,933 --> 00:46:25,453 Speaker 4: And maybe that's a part that he slightly regretted that 986 00:46:25,493 --> 00:46:27,773 Speaker 4: maybe he did want to do something slightly. 987 00:46:27,453 --> 00:46:29,652 Speaker 2: Different, but he was very successful. What do you well, 988 00:46:29,653 --> 00:46:33,373 Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from these family these family companies. 989 00:46:33,373 --> 00:46:36,453 Speaker 2: What's it like to be the parent bringing your kid through. 990 00:46:36,733 --> 00:46:38,573 Speaker 2: What's it like to be the kid working with your 991 00:46:38,613 --> 00:46:41,293 Speaker 2: parent and a company. What's it like also to be 992 00:46:42,053 --> 00:46:44,413 Speaker 2: a person that's maybe taken on their dad's company or 993 00:46:44,453 --> 00:46:46,732 Speaker 2: built a company up themselves, or taken over their mum's 994 00:46:46,773 --> 00:46:49,773 Speaker 2: company or whatever, and then would love to keep it 995 00:46:49,813 --> 00:46:51,732 Speaker 2: in the family, But you just see your kids having 996 00:46:51,773 --> 00:46:52,813 Speaker 2: no interest in it.

Ander. But Greg, 1032 00:48:16,773 --> 00:48:18,533 Speaker 2: you followed your dad into his industry. 1033 00:48:19,613 --> 00:48:22,573 Speaker 8: Yeah, I did. I was twenty and on the same 1034 00:48:22,653 --> 00:48:24,533 Speaker 8: day I remember it well, my dad offered me a 1035 00:48:24,613 --> 00:48:28,533 Speaker 8: job in business that he earned fifty percent on, and 1036 00:48:28,653 --> 00:48:31,413 Speaker 8: my mate offered me he was going on an iwa 1037 00:48:31,493 --> 00:48:33,413 Speaker 8: you in six months, and I had to make a 1038 00:48:33,413 --> 00:48:36,373 Speaker 8: decision about what I was going to do. So I 1039 00:48:36,453 --> 00:48:40,093 Speaker 8: did in brackets this a sensible thing, and went and 1040 00:48:40,133 --> 00:48:42,853 Speaker 8: went to my dad for the next sort of ten years. 1041 00:48:44,533 --> 00:48:51,133 Speaker 8: The problem was, after ten years Dad retired and all right, 1042 00:48:51,173 --> 00:48:53,053 Speaker 8: this is the first time. So I worked my guts 1043 00:48:53,093 --> 00:48:55,493 Speaker 8: out for ten years. The company was really successful while 1044 00:48:55,533 --> 00:48:58,213 Speaker 8: I was there. When it came to Dad to retire, 1045 00:48:58,293 --> 00:49:00,413 Speaker 8: here was a clause in the contract that he was 1046 00:49:00,453 --> 00:49:02,613 Speaker 8: a business partner, that he had to sell his heart 1047 00:49:02,733 --> 00:49:06,013 Speaker 8: to his business partner first. We had to give him 1048 00:49:06,053 --> 00:49:11,493 Speaker 8: the first right. So long story short, I've worked on 1049 00:49:11,573 --> 00:49:13,413 Speaker 8: this place for ten years and it wasn't something I've 1050 00:49:13,493 --> 00:49:15,333 Speaker 8: really wanted to do it. I wanted to be a 1051 00:49:15,373 --> 00:49:18,253 Speaker 8: hope builder, but but he was in the printing industry 1052 00:49:18,253 --> 00:49:20,453 Speaker 8: and it's sort of where I where I spent my 1053 00:49:20,453 --> 00:49:23,573 Speaker 8: first teen years and ended up just being another word 1054 00:49:23,613 --> 00:49:25,252 Speaker 8: for it. Benefit to your owned by someone else. 1055 00:49:25,733 --> 00:49:28,373 Speaker 2: That's pretty rough. And how did that? I mean did 1056 00:49:28,493 --> 00:49:30,333 Speaker 2: your dad mustn't have liked that either. 1057 00:49:31,453 --> 00:49:34,573 Speaker 8: Well, it sort of worked out financially because he ended 1058 00:49:34,613 --> 00:49:37,172 Speaker 8: up selling to a business part of away more than 1059 00:49:37,173 --> 00:49:38,772 Speaker 8: the company was worse and then gave me a whole 1060 00:49:38,813 --> 00:49:41,893 Speaker 8: lot of cash to start my own place. So financially, 1061 00:49:42,213 --> 00:49:43,933 Speaker 8: that's sort of what he did, the sort of right 1062 00:49:44,013 --> 00:49:46,253 Speaker 8: thing by me, if it makes sense. But yeah, I 1063 00:49:46,333 --> 00:49:49,212 Speaker 8: always my biggest releet is not doing that oway when 1064 00:49:49,293 --> 00:49:51,813 Speaker 8: I was young, I would have done it, if I. 1065 00:49:54,093 --> 00:49:56,333 Speaker 2: Know, I see it's saying. And was your family name 1066 00:49:56,373 --> 00:49:57,013 Speaker 2: on the business? 1067 00:49:58,133 --> 00:50:01,172 Speaker 8: Yes? Right, I started the business and then this other 1068 00:50:01,213 --> 00:50:05,453 Speaker 8: guy brought in ah, you know. 1069 00:50:04,933 --> 00:50:07,373 Speaker 2: And with that money that your dad gave you from 1070 00:50:07,453 --> 00:50:09,693 Speaker 2: from from you know, selling half the business to his 1071 00:50:09,733 --> 00:50:12,973 Speaker 2: other business partner. Did you go into the same business 1072 00:50:13,013 --> 00:50:14,773 Speaker 2: or a different business when you when you spend that 1073 00:50:15,853 --> 00:50:16,533 Speaker 2: so where a. 1074 00:50:16,573 --> 00:50:19,252 Speaker 8: Print is more started to think more of a die 1075 00:50:19,253 --> 00:50:22,053 Speaker 8: cutting side. I ended up going into the book business side, 1076 00:50:22,093 --> 00:50:26,413 Speaker 8: so it didn't really compete. What's the old company? Yeah 1077 00:50:26,533 --> 00:50:29,933 Speaker 8: so so same same sort of industry, but slightly different 1078 00:50:29,973 --> 00:50:34,773 Speaker 8: sort of screams. So, yeah, if you were going to 1079 00:50:34,813 --> 00:50:37,652 Speaker 8: do that, I'll find out exactly what the rules are 1080 00:50:37,693 --> 00:50:38,453 Speaker 8: when it comes to you. 1081 00:50:38,733 --> 00:50:40,773 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you so you know if you're going 1082 00:50:40,813 --> 00:50:42,293 Speaker 2: to spend a lot of your time in that business 1083 00:50:42,333 --> 00:50:45,813 Speaker 2: that you do actually have the possibility of becoming yours 1084 00:50:45,813 --> 00:50:47,732 Speaker 2: and continuing on the name. 1085 00:50:48,813 --> 00:50:51,133 Speaker 8: And I worked like a dog when I I thought 1086 00:50:51,133 --> 00:50:54,333 Speaker 8: there was something marriage And. 1087 00:50:55,893 --> 00:50:56,093 Speaker 3: You know. 1088 00:50:58,093 --> 00:51:00,813 Speaker 2: How big was the business? Greed? Did you have many employees? 1089 00:51:02,613 --> 00:51:06,652 Speaker 8: It was about the steam in league business found a lot, 1090 00:51:06,733 --> 00:51:09,573 Speaker 8: but it was a good day. The printing industry is 1091 00:51:09,613 --> 00:51:10,373 Speaker 8: to make a few bucks. 1092 00:51:10,493 --> 00:51:14,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, And how did it go? So without the family DNA, 1093 00:51:15,013 --> 00:51:17,093 Speaker 2: without your dad or you involved in the business. And 1094 00:51:17,133 --> 00:51:19,253 Speaker 2: it sounds like you were working at your guts out 1095 00:51:19,293 --> 00:51:20,853 Speaker 2: and you and I if you were, it was probably 1096 00:51:20,853 --> 00:51:23,172 Speaker 2: you probably got it from your dad once you two 1097 00:51:23,213 --> 00:51:24,893 Speaker 2: were out of the business. How did the business go? 1098 00:51:26,173 --> 00:51:30,692 Speaker 8: Well? Like the whole frinding industry collect even the place 1099 00:51:30,733 --> 00:51:34,172 Speaker 8: of the book finding. Oh, I didn't do so well 1100 00:51:34,173 --> 00:51:37,853 Speaker 8: after the GSC all my commercial printing company customers will 1101 00:51:37,893 --> 00:51:42,333 Speaker 8: win out of business and I'm no longer. There'd be 1102 00:51:42,373 --> 00:51:45,173 Speaker 8: a three percent of the people in the printing industry 1103 00:51:45,173 --> 00:51:48,013 Speaker 8: now because of technology and frames and stuff like that. 1104 00:51:48,053 --> 00:51:48,293 Speaker 2: You know. 1105 00:51:48,453 --> 00:51:51,613 Speaker 8: So so the other company is still around, but it's 1106 00:51:51,653 --> 00:51:54,053 Speaker 8: just a blot on what it was.

And you know, if you think you yeah, 1173 00:54:42,653 --> 00:54:44,053 Speaker 2: and then just to have to sell it because your 1174 00:54:44,133 --> 00:54:47,453 Speaker 2: kids are your brothers and sisters are useless city folk 1175 00:54:47,493 --> 00:54:50,853 Speaker 2: that you hear about that so often they shop to 1176 00:54:50,933 --> 00:54:53,853 Speaker 2: London and they want the millions of dollars out of 1177 00:54:53,853 --> 00:54:58,453 Speaker 2: the farm just to live their disgustingly vacuous city life. Yeah. 1178 00:54:58,573 --> 00:55:00,692 Speaker 4: Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty if you took 1179 00:55:00,733 --> 00:55:02,813 Speaker 4: over the family farm, love to hear from you. And 1180 00:55:02,853 --> 00:55:05,652 Speaker 4: did you have a situation similar to that where you 1181 00:55:05,733 --> 00:55:08,013 Speaker 4: were the one of the siblings who wanted to get 1182 00:55:08,013 --> 00:55:08,413 Speaker 4: into far. 1183 00:55:09,453 --> 00:55:12,533 Speaker 2: You didn't join the family business, Andrew, but you took 1184 00:55:12,533 --> 00:55:14,093 Speaker 2: your father's advice to get into the trades. 1185 00:55:15,533 --> 00:55:18,853 Speaker 7: Yeah, the teenage lad. It was possibly the first time 1186 00:55:18,893 --> 00:55:21,613 Speaker 7: I ever thought my father was right about anything, as 1187 00:55:21,693 --> 00:55:27,652 Speaker 7: I was going stir crazy at college thinking I don't 1188 00:55:27,653 --> 00:55:29,933 Speaker 7: want to set exams and I've still got another year 1189 00:55:29,973 --> 00:55:32,133 Speaker 7: to go. Oh god, Dad was right, I should get 1190 00:55:32,173 --> 00:55:35,613 Speaker 7: a trade. And I was the youngest of three boys 1191 00:55:35,653 --> 00:55:39,732 Speaker 7: and only one who took his advice, and I think 1192 00:55:39,773 --> 00:55:42,652 Speaker 7: it was definitely the making of me. He was an electrician, 1193 00:55:42,733 --> 00:55:47,413 Speaker 7: I'm a plumber, and I just couldn't see myself going 1194 00:55:47,413 --> 00:55:49,173 Speaker 7: to OH I thought I was going to university, and 1195 00:55:49,213 --> 00:55:51,373 Speaker 7: then couldn't stand the thought of the classroom, a little 1196 00:55:51,413 --> 00:55:54,133 Speaker 7: oone in a lecture room, let alone an office. So 1197 00:55:54,253 --> 00:55:57,172 Speaker 7: that's why, all of a sudden I thought he was right. 1198 00:55:58,093 --> 00:55:59,933 Speaker 7: And then I even thought I couldn't be a builder, 1199 00:56:00,013 --> 00:56:01,693 Speaker 7: being stuck on the one site forever. 1200 00:56:01,893 --> 00:56:04,093 Speaker 1: So your first plumbing. 1201 00:56:03,853 --> 00:56:06,773 Speaker 7: Was the plumbing was the ideal solution in the end, 1202 00:56:06,893 --> 00:56:11,493 Speaker 7: when I turned up to the interview and I said, 1203 00:56:11,653 --> 00:56:13,373 Speaker 7: I got to say to him before I die that, 1204 00:56:13,933 --> 00:56:17,693 Speaker 7: but before he died that his advice is probably what 1205 00:56:17,773 --> 00:56:21,973 Speaker 7: it has allowed to be to be such a happy person. 1206 00:56:22,133 --> 00:56:26,053 Speaker 7: I can't imagine going to education, or working in an office, 1207 00:56:26,133 --> 00:56:30,213 Speaker 7: or just doing any job that you hate and managing 1208 00:56:30,253 --> 00:56:32,373 Speaker 7: to be happy in the rest of your life. Whereas 1209 00:56:32,773 --> 00:56:35,133 Speaker 7: I'm fifty seven, I love going to work, I love 1210 00:56:35,173 --> 00:56:39,973 Speaker 7: my job, I love helping my clients, and I'm happy 1211 00:56:40,173 --> 00:56:40,933 Speaker 7: twenty four seven. 1212 00:56:41,773 --> 00:56:45,413 Speaker 2: That's an awesome story. That's an awesome story, And how 1213 00:56:45,413 --> 00:56:47,253 Speaker 2: great are your dad to hear that you know that 1214 00:56:47,293 --> 00:56:50,133 Speaker 2: would make a father so happy if son said, you know, 1215 00:56:50,293 --> 00:56:52,493 Speaker 2: thank you for that advice, because it made my life. 1216 00:56:52,493 --> 00:56:54,173 Speaker 2: I can't imagine hearing. 1217 00:56:55,053 --> 00:56:58,813 Speaker 7: A couple of times. Yeah, and he's got three sons, 1218 00:56:59,333 --> 00:57:01,493 Speaker 7: and as much as I'm the only one who's a tradesman, 1219 00:57:01,733 --> 00:57:05,733 Speaker 7: Dad was self employed where my oldest brother was born 1220 00:57:05,853 --> 00:57:08,813 Speaker 7: and when I was born. Four years later he went 1221 00:57:08,893 --> 00:57:13,013 Speaker 7: back on wages as an electrician for the National grid basically, 1222 00:57:13,773 --> 00:57:17,693 Speaker 7: and he was never self employed again. But all three 1223 00:57:17,693 --> 00:57:21,893 Speaker 7: of his sons are self employed running successful businesses. So yeah, 1224 00:57:21,893 --> 00:57:22,813 Speaker 7: he was very proud. 1225 00:57:23,093 --> 00:57:25,293 Speaker 2: That's really really cool because that's the other thing, like 1226 00:57:25,333 --> 00:57:29,013 Speaker 2: you may not follow your parents into their business, but 1227 00:57:29,213 --> 00:57:31,933 Speaker 2: you see what they do and what the world that 1228 00:57:31,973 --> 00:57:34,813 Speaker 2: they operate and opens up your mind in that area. 1229 00:57:34,933 --> 00:57:37,013 Speaker 2: So if you've never seen anyone run their own business, 1230 00:57:37,053 --> 00:57:39,533 Speaker 2: and that's slightly harder, you know, if you're from a 1231 00:57:39,533 --> 00:57:41,493 Speaker 2: family where people run their own businesses, you're more likely 1232 00:57:41,493 --> 00:57:43,973 Speaker 2: to run your own own own business. You know, it's 1233 00:57:44,053 --> 00:57:46,853 Speaker 2: less scary in as people that you can ask questions about. 1234 00:57:47,013 --> 00:57:49,933 Speaker 2: So you say, you're fifty seven, have you got kids, Andrew. 1235 00:57:51,013 --> 00:57:51,813 Speaker 7: I've got adults. 1236 00:57:52,533 --> 00:57:55,253 Speaker 2: I've got adult kids, and are they all walking? They 1237 00:57:55,573 --> 00:57:57,493 Speaker 2: are all part of Andrew and Sons Plumbing. 1238 00:57:59,893 --> 00:58:02,333 Speaker 7: No, they are not part of Andrew the Plumber, a 1239 00:58:02,413 --> 00:58:04,333 Speaker 7: part from when they do jobs for free for them. 1240 00:58:08,373 --> 00:58:10,453 Speaker 7: I've just done one of the john I've installed six 1241 00:58:10,493 --> 00:58:13,093 Speaker 7: showery because of my life and now thanks to my daughter, 1242 00:58:13,653 --> 00:58:16,653 Speaker 7: I've also installed one shoves so. 1243 00:58:18,693 --> 00:58:20,453 Speaker 2: Well that one of the best, one of the best 1244 00:58:20,453 --> 00:58:23,013 Speaker 2: things that you can do for your family. As being 1245 00:58:23,053 --> 00:58:26,013 Speaker 2: a trade yeah, so useful, so useful. 1246 00:58:26,053 --> 00:58:30,493 Speaker 7: For my new wife has two sons for builders, and 1247 00:58:30,493 --> 00:58:33,213 Speaker 7: one of them's basically well six months short of being 1248 00:58:33,213 --> 00:58:37,133 Speaker 7: a qualified mechanic. And so we've got quite a network 1249 00:58:37,213 --> 00:58:40,733 Speaker 7: of trade available to us. And we are useful people. 1250 00:58:41,053 --> 00:58:45,293 Speaker 7: And I find that with my clients most people appreciate 1251 00:58:46,053 --> 00:58:48,533 Speaker 7: tradesmen for what they can do that they can't do, 1252 00:58:48,933 --> 00:58:55,453 Speaker 7: and that alone is gives you warm fuzzies to agree. 1253 00:58:55,493 --> 00:59:01,373 Speaker 7: I've had very few bad customers or bad payers or disputes. 1254 00:59:01,773 --> 00:59:05,773 Speaker 7: It's like people know what they're capable of doing as 1255 00:59:05,773 --> 00:59:09,093 Speaker 7: opposed to what I'm capable of doing. And and it's 1256 00:59:09,133 --> 00:59:12,173 Speaker 7: like me, I pay an electrician to do my electrical work, 1257 00:59:12,213 --> 00:59:15,653 Speaker 7: I pay an accountant to do my accounting, and I 1258 00:59:15,733 --> 00:59:21,453 Speaker 7: stick to plumbing. Yeah, I don't even try and six cards. 1259 00:59:21,733 --> 00:59:23,813 Speaker 2: So I was actually listening to this podcast. I wish 1260 00:59:23,813 --> 00:59:25,173 Speaker 2: I could I look up the name of the guy, 1261 00:59:25,253 --> 00:59:28,253 Speaker 2: but he was. He was arguing that we've become too 1262 00:59:28,293 --> 00:59:30,853 Speaker 2: much of you know, the old saying, what is it, 1263 00:59:32,133 --> 00:59:34,333 Speaker 2: jack of trades, master of none or whatever it is, 1264 00:59:35,013 --> 00:59:37,093 Speaker 2: And he's saying that that's becoming more and more the case. 1265 00:59:37,373 --> 00:59:40,133 Speaker 2: And if you just focus on one thing, you know, 1266 00:59:40,173 --> 00:59:42,293 Speaker 2: you could probably be eighty percent of a lot of things, 1267 00:59:42,333 --> 00:59:44,333 Speaker 2: but that extra twenty percent you can be if you 1268 00:59:44,453 --> 00:59:47,293 Speaker 2: just focus on that one thing that you become very 1269 00:59:47,373 --> 00:59:50,773 Speaker 2: good at, and that's your thing, that is actually a 1270 00:59:50,853 --> 00:59:52,653 Speaker 2: huge advantage over the other people that are trying to 1271 00:59:52,693 --> 00:59:55,533 Speaker 2: do every every little thing in this world. So it 1272 00:59:55,533 --> 00:59:58,413 Speaker 2: sounds like you got that nailed. Hey, now, Andrew, did 1273 00:59:58,413 --> 01:00:01,493 Speaker 2: you and your dad? So he's an aultrition to plumber. 1274 01:00:01,493 --> 01:00:03,293 Speaker 2: Did you guys ever end up working on the same site. 1275 01:00:04,693 --> 01:00:04,853 Speaker 9: No. 1276 01:00:04,973 --> 01:00:09,573 Speaker 7: Dad was always on wages. Yeah, my entire life growing 1277 01:00:09,653 --> 01:00:12,853 Speaker 7: up and through a degree. I joked about it sometimes 1278 01:00:12,853 --> 01:00:14,613 Speaker 7: on site. I don't think he taught me a single 1279 01:00:14,693 --> 01:00:18,853 Speaker 7: thing about electricity. So all I limit myself to is 1280 01:00:19,373 --> 01:00:21,973 Speaker 7: wiring up a pre wire hot water cylinder or a 1281 01:00:22,013 --> 01:00:25,693 Speaker 7: power lead or changing a firmostat and an element. And 1282 01:00:25,733 --> 01:00:27,573 Speaker 7: apart from that, I don't go near the stuff. I 1283 01:00:27,653 --> 01:00:34,293 Speaker 7: always joke that electricity is witchcraft, and electricity kills you 1284 01:00:34,373 --> 01:00:36,733 Speaker 7: quickly and plumbing kills you slowly. 1285 01:00:37,173 --> 01:00:40,653 Speaker 2: So that yeah, very true. 1286 01:00:40,733 --> 01:00:44,613 Speaker 4: Wise advice, Andrew, thank you very much, just on the 1287 01:00:44,893 --> 01:00:47,933 Speaker 4: you know, getting into the trade situation, and great advice 1288 01:00:47,933 --> 01:00:51,213 Speaker 4: from Andrew's old man, but different advice from my dad. 1289 01:00:52,093 --> 01:00:54,653 Speaker 4: I wonder if there was a time there that trades 1290 01:00:54,733 --> 01:00:56,853 Speaker 4: fell off a little bit, that they weren't the salary 1291 01:00:57,093 --> 01:00:59,253 Speaker 4: wasn't quite keeping up with some of the other professions 1292 01:00:59,253 --> 01:01:01,853 Speaker 4: out there, so it was maybe a smarter idea to 1293 01:01:01,893 --> 01:01:03,973 Speaker 4: try and get to UNI if you if you've got 1294 01:01:03,973 --> 01:01:04,453 Speaker 4: a direction. 1295 01:01:04,653 --> 01:01:06,773 Speaker 2: There was an idea, and I don't know how it 1296 01:01:06,813 --> 01:01:10,213 Speaker 2: got embedded that going to university was the answer for everything, 1297 01:01:10,493 --> 01:01:12,773 Speaker 2: and so the whole push of New Zealand changed. We 1298 01:01:12,893 --> 01:01:16,213 Speaker 2: were saying, if your kids go to university, they're succeeding. 1299 01:01:16,293 --> 01:01:18,293 Speaker 2: You can celebrate that. And so a lot of kids 1300 01:01:18,293 --> 01:01:20,573 Speaker 2: went to university, but they ended up with stupid degrees 1301 01:01:20,613 --> 01:01:24,573 Speaker 2: like me anthropology and philosoph philosophy degrees like I've got. Yeah, 1302 01:01:24,613 --> 01:01:28,973 Speaker 2: absolutely worthless degrees. And meanwhile, the trades, which were being 1303 01:01:29,013 --> 01:01:34,333 Speaker 2: sort of locked down on from snobbily from elite people 1304 01:01:34,333 --> 01:01:37,013 Speaker 2: that were going to the universities, actually grew and became 1305 01:01:37,093 --> 01:01:40,413 Speaker 2: so much more powerful because the idea that everyone should 1306 01:01:40,413 --> 01:01:43,853 Speaker 2: go to universities is ridiculous. People should go to university 1307 01:01:43,973 --> 01:01:45,453 Speaker 2: if they want to, but a lot of going to 1308 01:01:45,493 --> 01:01:47,173 Speaker 2: the university is just luxury learning. 1309 01:01:47,293 --> 01:01:49,853 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And some of those degrees, you know, take 1310 01:01:49,893 --> 01:01:53,453 Speaker 4: your eight nine years to complete, rack up a massive 1311 01:01:53,533 --> 01:01:56,733 Speaker 4: student loan, and then you get into your first job 1312 01:01:57,093 --> 01:01:58,973 Speaker 4: and it would pay far less than a lot of 1313 01:01:58,973 --> 01:01:59,613 Speaker 4: the trades would. 1314 01:01:59,773 --> 01:02:01,693 Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. 1315 01:02:02,293 --> 01:02:04,493 Speaker 4: Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to 1316 01:02:04,493 --> 01:02:05,853 Speaker 4: call if you got into the family business. 1317 01:02:05,933 --> 01:02:08,653 Speaker 2: Love to chat with you, or if, like Andrew, you 1318 01:02:08,693 --> 01:02:12,213 Speaker 2: took your parent's advice into what to go into in 1319 01:02:12,253 --> 01:02:15,173 Speaker 2: life and did that work out or not. One hundred 1320 01:02:15,173 --> 01:02:17,213 Speaker 2: and eighty ten eighty. It is twenty seven to. 1321 01:02:17,173 --> 01:02:23,293 Speaker 1: Three US Talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxes, 1322 01:02:23,373 --> 01:02:25,213 Speaker 1: it's no trouble with a blue bubble. 1323 01:02:25,613 --> 01:02:28,653 Speaker 15: The Minister in charge of redress for abuse and State 1324 01:02:28,733 --> 01:02:33,253 Speaker 15: care survivors says it's unclear how many will come forward 1325 01:02:33,373 --> 01:02:36,853 Speaker 15: with claims.

Was 1345 01:03:41,493 --> 01:03:44,813 Speaker 4: it a career path you decided on. Was there some 1346 01:03:44,973 --> 01:03:48,213 Speaker 4: ambition to get into what your parents were doing o 1347 01:03:48,333 --> 01:03:51,093 Speaker 4: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. It kicked off from 1348 01:03:51,413 --> 01:03:54,173 Speaker 4: Ronaldo's son, who was getting into Ronaldo's family. 1349 01:03:54,013 --> 01:03:54,973 Speaker 2: Business of football. 1350 01:03:55,373 --> 01:03:57,413 Speaker 4: But we're obviously taking it a lot broader than that, 1351 01:03:58,373 --> 01:04:00,693 Speaker 4: and we've heard from a lot of people who listened 1352 01:04:00,813 --> 01:04:02,813 Speaker 4: to their parents' advice and it worked out for them. 1353 01:04:02,893 --> 01:04:03,053 Speaker 14: Yeah. 1354 01:04:03,093 --> 01:04:04,693 Speaker 2: I was interesting with my dad. He was quite clean 1355 01:04:04,733 --> 01:04:06,853 Speaker 2: for me to get into the family business. Well, you know, 1356 01:04:06,853 --> 01:04:08,253 Speaker 2: we grew up on a farm, but my dad was 1357 01:04:08,533 --> 01:04:11,173 Speaker 2: also a doctor. Yeah, and he was quite keen for 1358 01:04:11,213 --> 01:04:13,773 Speaker 2: me the end of the family business. And I picked 1359 01:04:13,893 --> 01:04:16,253 Speaker 2: my subjects at school, you know, a lot of chemistry 1360 01:04:16,333 --> 01:04:18,413 Speaker 2: and maths in there, just to keep my options open 1361 01:04:18,413 --> 01:04:20,173 Speaker 2: for being a doctor. But it was just a huge 1362 01:04:20,173 --> 01:04:23,493 Speaker 2: There was just this little problem. I was really thick, 1363 01:04:23,853 --> 01:04:25,613 Speaker 2: and so there was no chance of me ever becoming 1364 01:04:25,653 --> 01:04:26,013 Speaker 2: a doctor. 1365 01:04:26,093 --> 01:04:27,613 Speaker 4: Is that a little problem or a big problem? 1366 01:04:28,733 --> 01:04:28,973 Speaker 1: Now? 1367 01:04:29,413 --> 01:04:30,173 Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. 1368 01:04:31,253 --> 01:04:32,373 Speaker 19: Goodhapp And then how are you. 1369 01:04:33,933 --> 01:04:34,013 Speaker 1: So? 1370 01:04:34,173 --> 01:04:37,653 Speaker 19: I was lucky enough to have a family business that 1371 01:04:37,773 --> 01:04:40,373 Speaker 19: was quite large in New Zealand, which is now being solved. 1372 01:04:41,333 --> 01:04:44,533 Speaker 19: But being the firstborn child, it was all going to 1373 01:04:44,653 --> 01:04:47,133 Speaker 19: university and you needed to have both, you know that 1374 01:04:47,413 --> 01:04:51,493 Speaker 19: accolade and do what you needed to do. I obviously 1375 01:04:51,533 --> 01:04:56,693 Speaker 19: started business and marketing, did psychology, and then did viticulture 1376 01:04:56,893 --> 01:05:00,893 Speaker 19: and kind of started to realize that Dad was more 1377 01:05:00,973 --> 01:05:05,693 Speaker 19: interested in the actually people that had the experience over 1378 01:05:05,973 --> 01:05:09,133 Speaker 19: the piece of paper. But as I was doing these degrees, 1379 01:05:09,853 --> 01:05:12,693 Speaker 19: as I was getting through them, because the world was 1380 01:05:12,773 --> 01:05:16,453 Speaker 19: changing so fast, my degree was kind of not really 1381 01:05:16,573 --> 01:05:19,813 Speaker 19: keeping up with the time. So it was the kind 1382 01:05:19,853 --> 01:05:24,373 Speaker 19: of a back and forth thing where I was sitting. Obviously, 1383 01:05:24,533 --> 01:05:27,413 Speaker 19: the last degree that I did went into the family business, 1384 01:05:27,493 --> 01:05:30,693 Speaker 19: and you know, I went overseas to Gongjao and lived 1385 01:05:30,733 --> 01:05:34,773 Speaker 19: in there and did some amazing things. But it's definitely 1386 01:05:35,093 --> 01:05:38,853 Speaker 19: something where I think the university is definitely the lawyers, 1387 01:05:38,853 --> 01:05:42,533 Speaker 19: the doctors and no sorts of things. But I found 1388 01:05:42,813 --> 01:05:45,453 Speaker 19: from my experience working in a family business that the 1389 01:05:45,573 --> 01:05:48,533 Speaker 19: experience that I was getting, you know, right down from 1390 01:05:48,693 --> 01:05:51,493 Speaker 19: swooping the floors, you know, right through to the top, 1391 01:05:51,813 --> 01:05:55,653 Speaker 19: was a faster progression than it was having a piece 1392 01:05:55,693 --> 01:05:56,493 Speaker 19: of paper behind me. 1393 01:05:57,293 --> 01:06:02,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so was it as any times at all 1394 01:06:02,253 --> 01:06:05,133 Speaker 2: when you used what you learned at university. 1395 01:06:06,733 --> 01:06:14,373 Speaker 19: Well, you like to say, look, there are definite benefits 1396 01:06:14,413 --> 01:06:15,973 Speaker 19: to it and those sorts of things. But I think 1397 01:06:16,013 --> 01:06:21,893 Speaker 19: with the world changing so quickly these days, that all 1398 01:06:21,933 --> 01:06:24,093 Speaker 19: due respect to the university, so I just don't think 1399 01:06:24,093 --> 01:06:26,413 Speaker 19: they're keeping up with the changes. And I think by 1400 01:06:26,453 --> 01:06:29,133 Speaker 19: the time you finish your degree, you're kind of then 1401 01:06:29,213 --> 01:06:33,693 Speaker 19: having to learn new and it's yeah, so I think 1402 01:06:34,253 --> 01:06:37,213 Speaker 19: do the university thing. If you've got a family business, 1403 01:06:37,253 --> 01:06:39,213 Speaker 19: that's going to help you. But if you've got a 1404 01:06:39,213 --> 01:06:41,773 Speaker 19: family business and it can get you. 1405 01:06:41,733 --> 01:06:43,573 Speaker 2: Through it a bit quicker work every part of it. 1406 01:06:43,613 --> 01:06:45,893 Speaker 2: Do you mind me asking about what area of your 1407 01:06:45,893 --> 01:06:46,773 Speaker 2: family business is in. 1408 01:06:48,613 --> 01:06:51,533 Speaker 16: Wine? Wine culture? 1409 01:06:51,853 --> 01:06:52,053 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1410 01:06:53,173 --> 01:06:56,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean absolutely. I mean you're in an incredible 1411 01:06:56,253 --> 01:06:58,453 Speaker 2: position to learn every single part of it if your 1412 01:06:58,453 --> 01:07:03,013 Speaker 2: family is running that. I mean, you've got experts walking 1413 01:07:03,053 --> 01:07:05,133 Speaker 2: around that you can you know, you've probably got the 1414 01:07:05,133 --> 01:07:08,533 Speaker 2: best best teachers in the entire world around you to 1415 01:07:08,613 --> 01:07:09,613 Speaker 2: learn from. 1416 01:07:10,013 --> 01:07:12,373 Speaker 19: Absolutely. I even learned how to clovern shoots, so I 1417 01:07:12,373 --> 01:07:14,013 Speaker 19: mean that was impressive. 1418 01:07:14,973 --> 01:07:18,853 Speaker 2: That's a hell of a skill. What I found an 1419 01:07:18,853 --> 01:07:22,533 Speaker 2: interesting maw with university. So I did a degree in 1420 01:07:23,373 --> 01:07:26,853 Speaker 2: did a degree in philosophy and anthropology. But when I 1421 01:07:26,893 --> 01:07:30,413 Speaker 2: came to write my book, it's a book arguably a 1422 01:07:30,413 --> 01:07:33,213 Speaker 2: lot of it's on philosophy. And I went back to 1423 01:07:33,213 --> 01:07:34,973 Speaker 2: write the book and I thought, I've got a degreeund philosophy. 1424 01:07:35,013 --> 01:07:37,453 Speaker 2: And I realized, in my entire time at university doing this, 1425 01:07:37,893 --> 01:07:41,373 Speaker 2: I hadn't learned a single freaking thing. And I was like, 1426 01:07:41,413 --> 01:07:43,173 Speaker 2: I must have studied this. And I went back and 1427 01:07:43,213 --> 01:07:44,693 Speaker 2: I was like, I did study all the stuff, but 1428 01:07:44,733 --> 01:07:47,333 Speaker 2: there's something about university where you don't actually learn it. 1429 01:07:47,613 --> 01:07:49,813 Speaker 2: And I think particularly, and this might be different across 1430 01:07:49,813 --> 01:07:53,013 Speaker 2: other degrees. People can tell me, but philosophy at university 1431 01:07:53,093 --> 01:07:57,053 Speaker 2: is very involved in semantics, opposed to philosophy being used 1432 01:07:57,093 --> 01:07:59,333 Speaker 2: for how you might want to live your life and 1433 01:07:59,333 --> 01:08:03,653 Speaker 2: actually losing using it for, you know, for a you know, 1434 01:08:03,813 --> 01:08:06,693 Speaker 2: some lessons on how you could apply people's thinking into 1435 01:08:07,213 --> 01:08:09,493 Speaker 2: living the good life, if you mean more like a 1436 01:08:09,533 --> 01:08:10,373 Speaker 2: contest of ideas. 1437 01:08:10,373 --> 01:08:13,173 Speaker 4: When you're at university, you get presented with these philosophical 1438 01:08:13,293 --> 01:08:17,773 Speaker 4: arguments to debate and consider, rather than implement them in 1439 01:08:17,813 --> 01:08:18,293 Speaker 4: your own life. 1440 01:08:18,613 --> 01:08:20,173 Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying. I think this can be 1441 01:08:20,253 --> 01:08:22,612 Speaker 2: across a lot of different things, and probably the same 1442 01:08:22,653 --> 01:08:25,892 Speaker 2: with mel. You've got these studies, but they aren't actually 1443 01:08:25,893 --> 01:08:31,093 Speaker 2: related in any way to the practical application of the 1444 01:08:31,173 --> 01:08:34,412 Speaker 2: job or in the real world. Yeah, yeah, hey, thank 1445 01:08:34,412 --> 01:08:36,412 Speaker 2: you so much. Now you go, mal. 1446 01:08:37,893 --> 01:08:39,492 Speaker 19: I was just going to say, you definitely do learn 1447 01:08:39,532 --> 01:08:42,652 Speaker 19: something you come out of the university. It's not a 1448 01:08:42,692 --> 01:08:44,933 Speaker 19: degree that anyone can obviously give a paper two, but 1449 01:08:44,973 --> 01:08:47,932 Speaker 19: it's definitely you learn how to do your washing, definitely 1450 01:08:47,933 --> 01:08:50,852 Speaker 19: know how to do a yardglass, and definitely know how 1451 01:08:50,893 --> 01:08:51,412 Speaker 19: to relate to. 1452 01:08:51,732 --> 01:08:56,212 Speaker 4: A It's important life skills. All three of those things. 1453 01:08:57,612 --> 01:09:01,253 Speaker 2: You learn you learn edwards scrumpy hands and if you're 1454 01:09:01,253 --> 01:09:04,333 Speaker 2: at Target university, I don't mean you learn possuming. Possuming 1455 01:09:04,372 --> 01:09:06,852 Speaker 2: I haven't heard this. Possuming is when you climb up 1456 01:09:06,893 --> 01:09:09,772 Speaker 2: into a tree with your friends and you with a 1457 01:09:09,772 --> 01:09:12,333 Speaker 2: bunch of alcohol and you drink up there until you 1458 01:09:12,412 --> 01:09:15,293 Speaker 2: fall out. All right. This sounds similar to hermit. Did 1459 01:09:15,293 --> 01:09:17,253 Speaker 2: you ever do the hermit? Oh, when you go into 1460 01:09:17,293 --> 01:09:18,093 Speaker 2: your cupboard in your room. 1461 01:09:18,173 --> 01:09:20,213 Speaker 4: Yeah, so everyone goes into one room and just hides 1462 01:09:20,293 --> 01:09:22,933 Speaker 4: themselves away and drinks until you finished the dozen and 1463 01:09:23,013 --> 01:09:25,052 Speaker 4: come out. Crazy times, but good times. 1464 01:09:25,213 --> 01:09:28,692 Speaker 2: It is look, that's well worth in giant student loan 1465 01:09:28,692 --> 01:09:30,972 Speaker 2: you give for it eighteen to three. 1466 01:09:32,293 --> 01:09:35,573 Speaker 5: The big stories, the big issues, to the big trends 1467 01:09:35,612 --> 01:09:39,372 Speaker 5: and everything in between.

It wasn't into 1496 01:11:02,053 --> 01:11:05,293 Speaker 17: doing exams or anything. So I left the beginning of 1497 01:11:05,412 --> 01:11:10,533 Speaker 17: fifth form. This is in nineteen eighty. Partly my teachers 1498 01:11:10,572 --> 01:11:13,412 Speaker 17: were saying, well, you're probably not going to do so well, 1499 01:11:13,492 --> 01:11:15,492 Speaker 17: so if you can find a job, so I did. 1500 01:11:15,612 --> 01:11:18,293 Speaker 17: I took that opportunity. And I didn't want to be 1501 01:11:18,812 --> 01:11:22,253 Speaker 17: a class retiler with my dad because he treated me 1502 01:11:23,452 --> 01:11:25,372 Speaker 17: like his son at work, if you know what I mean. 1503 01:11:26,053 --> 01:11:28,412 Speaker 17: It's got all the dirty job through this thing. But 1504 01:11:28,452 --> 01:11:31,772 Speaker 17: I really want to be a carpenter. So I got 1505 01:11:31,812 --> 01:11:35,932 Speaker 17: myself an apprenticeship as a joiner. It's a joiner, so 1506 01:11:37,173 --> 01:11:40,052 Speaker 17: that really set me up for the rest of my life. Actually, 1507 01:11:40,213 --> 01:11:44,972 Speaker 17: it's sort of only taken me three years to finish 1508 01:11:45,013 --> 01:11:49,532 Speaker 17: my apprenticeship, but it's me nearly four because halfway through 1509 01:11:49,612 --> 01:11:54,093 Speaker 17: I was a bit of a free spirits and I 1510 01:11:54,173 --> 01:11:57,053 Speaker 17: was going first thing instead of going to work. But 1511 01:11:57,572 --> 01:12:00,213 Speaker 17: my dad sat me down, he goes, you need to 1512 01:12:00,333 --> 01:12:04,012 Speaker 17: finish this, you need to get your trade. So I did, 1513 01:12:04,532 --> 01:12:09,213 Speaker 17: and I'm still working in that trade today. 1514 01:12:09,692 --> 01:12:17,772 Speaker 2: Dead. Fantastic on your dad, except for the bit where 1515 01:12:17,772 --> 01:12:19,412 Speaker 2: he's making you do all the hard stuff because you 1516 01:12:19,412 --> 01:12:20,812 Speaker 2: were a son and didn't want to seem. 1517 01:12:20,572 --> 01:12:20,812 Speaker 14: To be. 1518 01:12:22,293 --> 01:12:23,652 Speaker 2: That's how it works. 1519 01:12:23,772 --> 01:12:26,013 Speaker 4: And if you're the laborer and the son of the 1520 01:12:26,053 --> 01:12:28,213 Speaker 4: business owner, you you did hard raft. 1521 01:12:29,053 --> 01:12:32,852 Speaker 17: Absolutely absolutely. But my older brother, you know, he's a 1522 01:12:32,853 --> 01:12:34,612 Speaker 17: couple of a couple of years old and me, he 1523 01:12:34,732 --> 01:12:39,053 Speaker 17: ended up taking over dad's business and dead retired and 1524 01:12:40,213 --> 01:12:43,452 Speaker 17: did very well out of it himself and ended up 1525 01:12:43,492 --> 01:12:47,853 Speaker 17: employing quite a few boys. Especially after the Inscom earthquake, 1526 01:12:48,412 --> 01:12:51,772 Speaker 17: he suddenly had to employ quite a few stuff. You 1527 01:12:51,772 --> 01:12:54,652 Speaker 17: had two years work booked up with all the cracks 1528 01:12:54,692 --> 01:12:57,292 Speaker 17: on the walls.

They 1532 01:13:01,173 --> 01:13:03,772 Speaker 2: can drift and drift and drift, can't they Because because 1533 01:13:03,812 --> 01:13:05,532 Speaker 2: you're working and then you want to live, you of 1534 01:13:05,532 --> 01:13:08,852 Speaker 2: your life and you and your share and doing the 1535 01:13:08,853 --> 01:13:11,053 Speaker 2: extra stuff is just hard to get you. 1536 01:13:11,293 --> 01:13:11,492 Speaker 21: Yeah. 1537 01:13:11,572 --> 01:13:12,572 Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah. 1538 01:13:12,812 --> 01:13:15,532 Speaker 17: At the time, you know, a good friend here's going 1539 01:13:15,652 --> 01:13:18,973 Speaker 17: on on a soe and I was so keen to 1540 01:13:18,973 --> 01:13:21,253 Speaker 17: go with him. But I was halfway through my apprenticeship. 1541 01:13:21,253 --> 01:13:23,173 Speaker 17: And that's when Dad sat me down and us, look, 1542 01:13:23,213 --> 01:13:26,213 Speaker 17: if you do that, you're going to come back with 1543 01:13:26,572 --> 01:13:30,093 Speaker 17: to no job. Stick it out for another year or two. 1544 01:13:30,293 --> 01:13:32,852 Speaker 17: You've got to be able to work for whoever you want. 1545 01:13:33,053 --> 01:13:36,972 Speaker 17: That's true because exactly you know, and just sticking out 1546 01:13:37,013 --> 01:13:43,972 Speaker 17: that apprenticeship and finishing its future employees, employers, I should say, 1547 01:13:44,053 --> 01:13:46,772 Speaker 17: really like that. They go, Okay, this person stuck at 1548 01:13:46,772 --> 01:13:53,213 Speaker 17: their job for three or four years. Difference you did you. 1549 01:13:53,572 --> 01:13:55,972 Speaker 4: Did you think about setting up your own own business 1550 01:13:55,973 --> 01:13:56,892 Speaker 4: with joinery hijik? 1551 01:13:57,973 --> 01:13:58,173 Speaker 10: Yeah? 1552 01:13:58,213 --> 01:14:01,012 Speaker 17: Yeah, Actually I got out of the factory, the old 1553 01:14:01,213 --> 01:14:04,013 Speaker 17: the dust, and that didn't agree with me, especially with 1554 01:14:04,213 --> 01:14:07,213 Speaker 17: the building of the kitchen.

We founded two the clients who are 1630 01:17:40,412 --> 01:17:44,772 Speaker 21: always demanding and annoying and stressful, and so we didn't 1631 01:17:44,893 --> 01:17:49,333 Speaker 21: like it. However, I decided to against my parents will 1632 01:17:49,812 --> 01:17:54,533 Speaker 21: to go into studies, university studies, and I have to disagree. 1633 01:17:54,612 --> 01:17:58,652 Speaker 21: So I didn't study philosophy and anthropology. I did read 1634 01:17:58,692 --> 01:18:01,733 Speaker 21: a lot of books on that, but I have to disagree. 1635 01:18:01,853 --> 01:18:07,132 Speaker 21: For me, philosophy anthropology are one of the best things 1636 01:18:07,173 --> 01:18:11,572 Speaker 21: one can are in a university because it opens the 1637 01:18:11,692 --> 01:18:17,333 Speaker 21: mind and frankly it's what's needed, especially nowadays. 1638 01:18:17,692 --> 01:18:19,372 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for so much for that, Joe. Yeah, 1639 01:18:19,372 --> 01:18:21,452 Speaker 2: I mean I studied them at university. But I guess 1640 01:18:21,492 --> 01:18:25,932 Speaker 2: my point, Joe, was that I didn't learn anything until 1641 01:18:25,973 --> 01:18:29,732 Speaker 2: I went back and read philosophy and anthropology on my 1642 01:18:29,772 --> 01:18:32,133 Speaker 2: own time, and then I absolutely learned a lot. But 1643 01:18:32,173 --> 01:18:34,652 Speaker 2: you might be right that the base might have been there. Hey, Joe, 1644 01:18:34,732 --> 01:18:37,852 Speaker 2: quickly when you say volunteered in the restaurant, volunteered for 1645 01:18:37,893 --> 01:18:39,732 Speaker 2: your parents, or forced to work in there. 1646 01:18:40,772 --> 01:18:42,213 Speaker 8: No, we were forced to work. 1647 01:18:43,293 --> 01:18:48,052 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, volunteering in their parents restaurant.

And do you want 1716 01:22:33,772 --> 01:22:36,852 Speaker 2: to do that? Well, her husband is collecting stupid stuff, 1717 01:22:36,973 --> 01:22:39,612 Speaker 2: or your wife is collecting stupid stuff, or your friends 1718 01:22:39,612 --> 01:22:42,052 Speaker 2: are collecting stupid stuff.

Before I know it, I'm online, I'm 1731 01:23:17,053 --> 01:23:19,253 Speaker 2: ordering the hat, I forget about it, and then the 1732 01:23:19,293 --> 01:23:21,933 Speaker 2: little boxes arrive with three hats at the door, and 1733 01:23:21,973 --> 01:23:23,892 Speaker 2: then I have to sneak them in and hide them. 1734 01:23:24,412 --> 01:23:26,812 Speaker 2: There's a whole cupboard full of hats. It's an absolute disaster. 1735 01:23:26,893 --> 01:23:28,932 Speaker 2: I think I deserve to be shamed for my collection. 1736 01:23:29,133 --> 01:23:32,452 Speaker 2: You do.
