Speaker 2: looking forward to that after three yep.

51
00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:09,613
Speaker 3: Absolutely, After two o'clock, is it ever a good idea

52
00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:12,053
Speaker 3: to get into a relationship with a work colleague? And

53
00:03:12,173 --> 00:03:15,213
Speaker 3: intriguing story in the Herald? It's an ass the expert

54
00:03:15,813 --> 00:03:18,132
Speaker 3: column and it's time to win. Is it too late

55
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:20,733
Speaker 3: to reveal that you're deep into an office romance? Effectively,

56
00:03:20,813 --> 00:03:22,733
Speaker 3: this couple are about to get married and they haven't

57
00:03:22,733 --> 00:03:23,693
Speaker 3: told anybody at work.

58
00:03:23,813 --> 00:03:25,813
Speaker 2: I say go for it. Where else are you supposed

59
00:03:25,813 --> 00:03:27,333
Speaker 2: to meet people apart from work? If you don't want

60
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:29,692
Speaker 2: to be on the dirty dating apps. We work such

61
00:03:29,733 --> 00:03:33,573
Speaker 2: long hours, then surely you should be allowed to find

62
00:03:33,653 --> 00:03:36,693
Speaker 2: romance in the workplace. I can't see any problems with it.

63
00:03:36,813 --> 00:03:38,933
Speaker 2: I cannot envision any problems with it.

64
00:03:39,093 --> 00:03:41,173
Speaker 3: That is going to be a good chat after two o'clock.

65
00:03:41,293 --> 00:03:44,453
Speaker 3: But right now, let's have a chat about GDP. We

66
00:03:44,533 --> 00:03:47,373
Speaker 3: are officially out of recession and to break it all down.

67
00:03:47,853 --> 00:03:50,653
Speaker 3: We are chatting to New Zealand Heral Business editor at large,

68
00:03:50,693 --> 00:03:53,133
Speaker 3: Liam Dan, who is in studio. Get a Liam, Hey, guys,

69
00:03:53,453 --> 00:03:55,053
Speaker 3: isn't it good to have some good news?

70
00:03:55,133 --> 00:03:57,453
Speaker 2: We're out in a recession. Come in here and be outbeat,

71
00:03:57,733 --> 00:04:03,693
Speaker 2: so happy. We're forging on towards a better future, as

72
00:04:03,773 --> 00:04:06,653
Speaker 2: Nikola will have said for this fine country of ours.

73
00:04:06,853 --> 00:04:08,773
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, it was better than expect did I mean,

74
00:04:08,813 --> 00:04:11,613
Speaker 6: you know, in economics things can go sort of three ways.

75
00:04:11,613 --> 00:04:14,573
Speaker 6: They can be better than expected, worse than expected, or

76
00:04:14,733 --> 00:04:17,653
Speaker 6: bang on expectations, which is never much fun for journalists.

77
00:04:17,853 --> 00:04:18,533
Speaker 5: The bang on.

78
00:04:18,613 --> 00:04:21,493
Speaker 2: Expectations that keeps happening with the ocr.

79
00:04:22,213 --> 00:04:25,973
Speaker 6: Has done lately. But yeah, so better than expected is good.

80
00:04:26,013 --> 00:04:29,533
Speaker 6: We're great, We're really happy. So look, I would say,

81
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,613
Speaker 6: you know, I've sort of, you know, been talking to

82
00:04:31,653 --> 00:04:34,613
Speaker 6: people around. You know, if you're in Auckland, especially in Wellington,

83
00:04:34,733 --> 00:04:37,013
Speaker 6: you might not be feeling it quite as intensely. It's

84
00:04:37,053 --> 00:04:42,133
Speaker 6: easy to So this is underpinned by some good growth, well,

85
00:04:42,173 --> 00:04:45,893
Speaker 6: you know, growth back in tourism numbers. Primary industries have

86
00:04:46,013 --> 00:04:49,413
Speaker 6: done well, but if you look at and in actually

87
00:04:49,453 --> 00:04:51,693
Speaker 6: retail hasn't done too bad in that this is the

88
00:04:51,693 --> 00:04:55,773
Speaker 6: fourth quarter decem of twenty twenty four, obviously, but in

89
00:04:56,053 --> 00:04:58,933
Speaker 6: some of those central Auckland things like construction still three

90
00:04:58,933 --> 00:04:59,933
Speaker 6: percent down for the quarter.

91
00:05:00,013 --> 00:05:01,733
Speaker 2: That's that's terrible.

92
00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:05,413
Speaker 6: Really shows you that we're really in the doldrums there,

93
00:05:05,413 --> 00:05:07,853
Speaker 6: and that's a big part of Auckland's economy. And some

94
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:13,053
Speaker 6: of the proftional services including information media and communic telecommunications,

95
00:05:13,053 --> 00:05:16,453
Speaker 6: that kind of thing still going backwards. So if your

96
00:05:16,453 --> 00:05:21,773
Speaker 6: world is you know, construction sector, if your worlds lots

97
00:05:21,813 --> 00:05:28,413
Speaker 6: of media people you know who knows ye like using

98
00:05:28,493 --> 00:05:33,173
Speaker 6: on and public administration, you know, so so the bureaucrats

99
00:05:33,173 --> 00:05:36,213
Speaker 6: and Wellington, Uh, that part of it is still doing

100
00:05:36,213 --> 00:05:38,653
Speaker 6: it really tough. But I guess it's a it's a

101
00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:40,893
Speaker 6: sort of a bottom up recovery because that's the part

102
00:05:40,893 --> 00:05:42,853
Speaker 6: of the New Zealand economy that needs to get going.

103
00:05:43,213 --> 00:05:46,693
Speaker 2: So I was thinking, when you have things like you know,

104
00:05:47,253 --> 00:05:49,973
Speaker 2: more money coming into the country, does that then down

105
00:05:50,013 --> 00:05:55,733
Speaker 2: the tracks start to manifest in more construction and in

106
00:05:56,293 --> 00:05:57,853
Speaker 2: more activity in the retail sector.

107
00:05:58,213 --> 00:06:00,893
Speaker 6: Yeah, should, And a lot of it's a confidence game,

108
00:06:00,973 --> 00:06:04,693
Speaker 6: So I mean, we can talk about how arbitrary you know,

109
00:06:04,733 --> 00:06:07,333
Speaker 6: in and out of recession? Is these numbers mean that much?

110
00:06:07,373 --> 00:06:10,013
Speaker 6: But but sort of does mean something to feel like,

111
00:06:10,493 --> 00:06:13,133
Speaker 6: you know that we're not in recession. So hopefully that

112
00:06:13,213 --> 00:06:16,173
Speaker 6: might help some of the final pieces fall into place

113
00:06:16,213 --> 00:06:17,293
Speaker 6: for this recovery.

114
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:19,533
Speaker 2: Well, you've talked about this in your book. How much

115
00:06:19,773 --> 00:06:24,533
Speaker 2: is that sentiment? How much do we manifest? To use

116
00:06:24,573 --> 00:06:27,533
Speaker 2: the word twice for the first time in my life,

117
00:06:27,773 --> 00:06:31,373
Speaker 2: but how much does positivity manifest more positivity? If people

118
00:06:31,413 --> 00:06:33,693
Speaker 2: look at the economy and they go, look, we're out

119
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:37,573
Speaker 2: of reception recession, and they start being a bit more positive,

120
00:06:37,613 --> 00:06:40,253
Speaker 2: they stop winging so much, they start spending more just

121
00:06:40,293 --> 00:06:44,053
Speaker 2: because they feel better, and that does that can that

122
00:06:44,093 --> 00:06:46,853
Speaker 2: manifest into a snowball effect where all the economy gets better?

123
00:06:47,173 --> 00:06:47,973
Speaker 2: Virtual circle?

124
00:06:48,053 --> 00:06:50,693
Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, it absolutely does. I mean, I think

125
00:06:51,173 --> 00:06:54,813
Speaker 6: in this you know, what's happened in this current quarter

126
00:06:54,853 --> 00:06:56,733
Speaker 6: we're in this you know, start of twenty twenty five,

127
00:06:57,093 --> 00:06:59,253
Speaker 6: there's been a bit of uncertainty and there's been some

128
00:06:59,813 --> 00:07:03,133
Speaker 6: sort of not so great looking consumer confidence surveys. I

129
00:07:03,133 --> 00:07:06,173
Speaker 6: think some of the global stuff going on and the

130
00:07:06,733 --> 00:07:09,333
Speaker 6: fact that we were unsure about where the economy was,

131
00:07:10,053 --> 00:07:12,893
Speaker 6: you know, and interest rates obviously have been coming off

132
00:07:12,973 --> 00:07:15,853
Speaker 6: for several months now, but we haven't seen the house

133
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:19,533
Speaker 6: prices bounce back as intensely as people might have thought,

134
00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:23,093
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, it's possible, even after the

135
00:07:23,133 --> 00:07:26,453
Speaker 6: bounce late last year, that things were sort of feeling

136
00:07:26,453 --> 00:07:29,453
Speaker 6: a bit more unstable again this year. I hope that

137
00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:32,133
Speaker 6: this will sort of arrest that and give people some

138
00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:34,693
Speaker 6: confidence that that that the basics are falling into place

139
00:07:34,733 --> 00:07:36,973
Speaker 6: and therefore the sort of the top frothy end of

140
00:07:36,973 --> 00:07:39,453
Speaker 6: the economy, the consumer stuff can get a roll on.

141
00:07:39,653 --> 00:07:45,973
Speaker 2: What kind of GDP rise would be healthy? I mean,

142
00:07:46,253 --> 00:07:50,533
Speaker 2: zero point seven percent doesn't seem, you know, like it's

143
00:07:50,533 --> 00:07:53,533
Speaker 2: great because it's up, but where do we want it at? Well, actually,

144
00:07:53,533 --> 00:07:54,533
Speaker 2: that's that's pretty good.

145
00:07:54,573 --> 00:07:58,253
Speaker 6: You know, we can't unfortunately, the economy can't sustain much

146
00:07:58,333 --> 00:08:00,973
Speaker 6: higher rates of growth than that without me having to

147
00:08:01,013 --> 00:08:07,053
Speaker 6: go back talking about inflation. So if we could sustain that,

148
00:08:06,933 --> 00:08:08,973
Speaker 6: that would you know, like, what's that even times for

149
00:08:09,613 --> 00:08:12,693
Speaker 6: two point eight So around two point five two point

150
00:08:12,733 --> 00:08:15,653
Speaker 6: eight percent growth would be pretty good if we could

151
00:08:15,653 --> 00:08:17,413
Speaker 6: sort of have that in the economy for a couple

152
00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:20,133
Speaker 6: of three years. The days of growth above three percent

153
00:08:20,253 --> 00:08:23,533
Speaker 6: are difficult at the moment because our economy would struggle

154
00:08:23,573 --> 00:08:24,813
Speaker 6: and inflation would come back.

155
00:08:24,973 --> 00:08:25,293
Speaker 2: Yeah.

156
00:08:25,373 --> 00:08:28,093
Speaker 3: Can that cynicism bed in when we've had quite a

157
00:08:28,133 --> 00:08:30,293
Speaker 3: few setbacks when it's come to the economy and you know,

158
00:08:30,493 --> 00:08:32,093
Speaker 3: people talk about that light at the end of the

159
00:08:32,093 --> 00:08:34,333
Speaker 3: tunnel and it kind of feels like it's never come

160
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:37,973
Speaker 3: until maybe now. Is that quite hard to bring a

161
00:08:38,013 --> 00:08:41,413
Speaker 3: population out of when you're looking at confidence and positivity

162
00:08:41,892 --> 00:08:43,933
Speaker 3: and good news about the economy.

163
00:08:44,053 --> 00:08:47,093
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think absolutely. I mean I think what we've

164
00:08:47,093 --> 00:08:49,573
Speaker 6: been through since COVID absolutely through the ring. You know,

165
00:08:49,653 --> 00:08:52,813
Speaker 6: so the shock of a COVID recession, Okay, we got

166
00:08:52,852 --> 00:08:54,933
Speaker 6: on top of it, we stimulated everything. Then we had

167
00:08:55,173 --> 00:08:58,173
Speaker 6: masses of inflation. Then we had to hammer the economy again.

168
00:08:59,093 --> 00:09:01,252
Speaker 6: You know, people depress and that's you know, and it's

169
00:09:01,612 --> 00:09:04,132
Speaker 6: it's hard for anyone to keep up. You know, I'm

170
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:06,252
Speaker 6: paid to follow this stuff, and it's been it's been

171
00:09:06,293 --> 00:09:08,772
Speaker 6: all over the shop, and so that the average punter

172
00:09:08,852 --> 00:09:10,373
Speaker 6: in the streets going what the hell's happening?

173
00:09:10,612 --> 00:09:12,372
Speaker 2: Well, speak of the average punter in the street has

174
00:09:12,413 --> 00:09:15,333
Speaker 2: a text that you could probably answer nine two nine two.

175
00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:17,373
Speaker 2: It came through and why is points seven percent good?

176
00:09:17,372 --> 00:09:19,333
Speaker 2: And getting us out of recession. If someone said to me,

177
00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:21,733
Speaker 2: I'm increasing your pay by point seven percent, it would

178
00:09:21,732 --> 00:09:25,093
Speaker 2: make absolutely no difference to me. But I guess you

179
00:09:25,093 --> 00:09:28,933
Speaker 2: don't get paid as many billion dollars as.

180
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:31,093
Speaker 6: The quarter, so that would that would annualize out at

181
00:09:31,093 --> 00:09:33,173
Speaker 6: two point eight which you know, okay, it might not

182
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:35,293
Speaker 6: be the greatest pay rise in the world, but if

183
00:09:35,372 --> 00:09:39,292
Speaker 6: you sustained that over the next ten years, then then

184
00:09:39,333 --> 00:09:41,612
Speaker 6: you're in. You know, that would be pretty solid, right.

185
00:09:41,693 --> 00:09:44,732
Speaker 6: So what we want is a sustainable rate of growth,

186
00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:48,293
Speaker 6: you know, because if you have these big booms, you know,

187
00:09:48,813 --> 00:09:53,052
Speaker 6: I hope as individuals, having a good sustainable rate of

188
00:09:53,053 --> 00:09:54,853
Speaker 6: growth will give you some leeway to go out and

189
00:09:55,012 --> 00:09:57,412
Speaker 6: get a much better pay rise great or switch jobs

190
00:09:57,413 --> 00:10:00,333
Speaker 6: and get a get more money. But you know, for

191
00:10:00,372 --> 00:10:03,693
Speaker 6: the economy, we need stability and we need this so

192
00:10:04,053 --> 00:10:07,772
Speaker 6: to suddenly go to like if the government started printing

193
00:10:07,813 --> 00:10:09,893
Speaker 6: money again, or reserve banks started printing money again, and

194
00:10:09,933 --> 00:10:12,693
Speaker 6: the government started spending, they could stimulate growth up to

195
00:10:13,293 --> 00:10:16,453
Speaker 6: you know, four percent a year or something like that,

196
00:10:16,533 --> 00:10:19,333
Speaker 6: but it would just mean our prices would go through

197
00:10:19,372 --> 00:10:20,893
Speaker 6: the roof and we would be the cost of living

198
00:10:20,892 --> 00:10:23,652
Speaker 6: would get us and we would be going backwards in

199
00:10:23,973 --> 00:10:25,213
Speaker 6: real terms now.

200
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:27,533
Speaker 2: And finally, Liam Dan, what do you say to this

201
00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:33,293
Speaker 2: text when it comes to economics and GDP numbers? Are lies? Dan,

202
00:10:33,973 --> 00:10:35,372
Speaker 2: damn lies and statistics?

203
00:10:35,413 --> 00:10:38,652
Speaker 6: As the quote goes, well, yeah, I mean they're kind

204
00:10:38,653 --> 00:10:40,813
Speaker 6: of all we've got, though, haven't they, Because you've got otherwise,

205
00:10:40,813 --> 00:10:44,732
Speaker 6: you've got anecdotal, you've got your own experience. Yeah, and

206
00:10:44,813 --> 00:10:47,333
Speaker 6: we've got all got you know, five point three million

207
00:10:47,372 --> 00:10:50,973
Speaker 6: experiences going on in New Zealand. Yeah, So look, I

208
00:10:51,012 --> 00:10:54,933
Speaker 6: would say, do not treat them as gospel in your life,

209
00:10:55,093 --> 00:10:57,892
Speaker 6: but it's a good guide for where the rest of

210
00:10:57,933 --> 00:10:59,693
Speaker 6: the world might be going around you and help you

211
00:10:59,732 --> 00:11:02,693
Speaker 6: frame where you you know, how you might act over

212
00:11:02,732 --> 00:11:04,813
Speaker 6: the next coming months.

213
00:11:04,973 --> 00:11:08,492
Speaker 2: So reasons to be optimistic.

214
00:11:08,413 --> 00:11:13,892
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, dairy booms rolling on, tourism's coming back, interest

215
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:16,532
Speaker 6: rates are going to go down a bit further, so

216
00:11:16,892 --> 00:11:19,493
Speaker 6: those those fundamentals of the New Zealand economy, those old

217
00:11:19,492 --> 00:11:22,213
Speaker 6: classics look like they're falling back into place. After that,

218
00:11:22,293 --> 00:11:23,693
Speaker 6: it's sort of on us to get out.

219
00:11:24,213 --> 00:11:25,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, do it, get out.

220
00:11:25,252 --> 00:11:26,293
Speaker 3: I'm feeling better already.

221
00:11:26,372 --> 00:11:28,613
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, just keep swimming in the same direction, like

222
00:11:28,693 --> 00:11:31,453
Speaker 2: finding Nemo swam up against the nets all right.

223
00:11:31,413 --> 00:11:34,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, good advice them. Thank you very much mate. That

224
00:11:34,973 --> 00:11:37,973
Speaker 3: is a New Zealand heial Business editor at Large, Liam Dan.

225
00:11:38,012 --> 00:11:40,133
Speaker 3: But we want to hear from you. Are you feeling

226
00:11:40,132 --> 00:11:43,612
Speaker 3: more positive after this rise in GDP has pulled us

227
00:11:43,653 --> 00:11:46,373
Speaker 3: out of recession. It does genuinely feel like light at

228
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,653
Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel. And I know that's a

229
00:11:47,653 --> 00:11:50,053
Speaker 3: cliche that's been banned around for the past five years,

230
00:11:50,213 --> 00:11:52,573
Speaker 3: but I feel positive this is a turnaround.

231
00:11:52,732 --> 00:11:54,973
Speaker 2: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is it time

232
00:11:55,132 --> 00:11:59,933
Speaker 2: to start shaming the nasayers? If a positive attitude can

233
00:12:00,012 --> 00:12:04,612
Speaker 2: manifest a better economy, negative people are manifesting a poor

234
00:12:04,653 --> 00:12:07,573
Speaker 2: economy and they need to be ostracized and potentially tase.

235
00:12:07,372 --> 00:12:11,853
Speaker 3: It yeppeak to the tasering. Oh eight hundred eighteen ten

236
00:12:11,933 --> 00:12:14,133
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. Nine two niney two

237
00:12:14,372 --> 00:12:17,453
Speaker 3: is the text number. It is seventeen past one.

238
00:12:19,093 --> 00:12:22,573
Speaker 4: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and

239
00:12:22,813 --> 00:12:23,893
Speaker 4: everything in between.

240
00:12:24,093 --> 00:12:26,852
Speaker 5: Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the Volvo.

241
00:12:26,732 --> 00:12:29,933
Speaker 1: XC ninety attention to detail and a commitment to comfort

242
00:12:30,012 --> 00:12:30,573
Speaker 1: news talks.

243
00:12:30,573 --> 00:12:30,973
Speaker 7: There'd be.

244
00:12:32,453 --> 00:12:34,813
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. Welcome into the show. Great to have your

245
00:12:34,813 --> 00:12:37,533
Speaker 3: company as always and we're talking about the state of

246
00:12:37,573 --> 00:12:40,333
Speaker 3: our positivity in New Zealand on the back of the

247
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:43,573
Speaker 3: GDP rising zero point seven percent, it's brought us out

248
00:12:43,892 --> 00:12:47,053
Speaker 3: of a recession. Are you feeling positive? And should we

249
00:12:47,213 --> 00:12:50,933
Speaker 3: be encouraging a bit more happiness in the country as

250
00:12:51,213 --> 00:12:53,453
Speaker 3: we talked about with Liam dan And to use that

251
00:12:53,492 --> 00:12:59,413
Speaker 3: word again, that manifests stronger economy if we all feel

252
00:12:59,413 --> 00:13:01,892
Speaker 3: good about it, if we all feel a bit more confident,

253
00:13:02,252 --> 00:13:04,372
Speaker 3: then that can do good things for the economy.

254
00:13:04,413 --> 00:13:06,732
Speaker 2: Well, we know that, you know, the story on the

255
00:13:06,773 --> 00:13:10,453
Speaker 2: stock market is everything. You know, it's a very emotional place,

256
00:13:10,492 --> 00:13:12,933
Speaker 2: the stock market. You know in America they talk about

257
00:13:13,453 --> 00:13:15,693
Speaker 2: you know, Wall Street and Main Street. But can you

258
00:13:15,813 --> 00:13:18,772
Speaker 2: manifest the economy on Main Street with the positive attitude

259
00:13:18,813 --> 00:13:22,813
Speaker 2: this text that disagrees. Shut up you, Pollyannas the country

260
00:13:22,852 --> 00:13:25,613
Speaker 2: is rooted and you know it. No amount of happy

261
00:13:25,612 --> 00:13:29,693
Speaker 2: clapping is going to change that. Okay, all right, yeah.

262
00:13:30,413 --> 00:13:32,013
Speaker 3: Pollyanna, I can't take that one.

263
00:13:32,053 --> 00:13:37,213
Speaker 2: Well, you're not manifesting anything. People aren't going to want

264
00:13:37,213 --> 00:13:40,693
Speaker 2: to hear this kind of positive thinking, says this text. Finally,

265
00:13:40,732 --> 00:13:43,933
Speaker 2: we can all stop being so negative and pessimistic, including

266
00:13:43,933 --> 00:13:46,533
Speaker 2: the media. Life is still going to be tough for many,

267
00:13:46,732 --> 00:13:49,012
Speaker 2: but that is how it is. Just crack on and

268
00:13:49,053 --> 00:13:51,013
Speaker 2: stop the bloody winging says this.

269
00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:54,693
Speaker 3: Test here to that person, thank you very much, Peter.

270
00:13:54,852 --> 00:13:55,893
Speaker 3: How are you this afternoon?

271
00:13:57,413 --> 00:14:00,333
Speaker 8: Yeah? Good. You know it's a pretty hard, hard.

272
00:14:01,093 --> 00:14:03,612
Speaker 3: Comment, oh, the happy clapper.

273
00:14:06,533 --> 00:14:10,413
Speaker 8: Thinking, well, I can't remember as Actually, if you based

274
00:14:10,413 --> 00:14:16,053
Speaker 8: you your happiness on the economy from GDP growth as

275
00:14:16,053 --> 00:14:23,292
Speaker 8: the set, I think that it's there. I would I

276
00:14:23,293 --> 00:14:26,333
Speaker 8: would rather sort of say, I almost hoping you'll keep

277
00:14:26,373 --> 00:14:32,253
Speaker 8: William damn, but maybe you'd ask him next time, you know, Well,

278
00:14:32,253 --> 00:14:36,412
Speaker 8: if you have any I understand that this GDP writers

279
00:14:36,493 --> 00:14:39,413
Speaker 8: to the JUDI dairy and tourism is the correct.

280
00:14:40,373 --> 00:14:44,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, tourism as a big part of it. Yeah, that's right.

281
00:14:45,413 --> 00:14:49,373
Speaker 2: Activity and tourism related industries such as accommodation, restaurants and bars,

282
00:14:49,413 --> 00:14:53,533
Speaker 2: transport and vehicle hiring have definitely helped YEP.

283
00:14:53,933 --> 00:14:56,293
Speaker 8: And the other thing I would say, I mean, I

284
00:14:56,293 --> 00:14:58,653
Speaker 8: would actually add to their comment is if you're based

285
00:14:58,613 --> 00:15:02,253
Speaker 8: on the economy based on I don't know quite know

286
00:15:02,373 --> 00:15:07,573
Speaker 8: how to week do GDP figures out, but increasing house

287
00:15:07,693 --> 00:15:13,373
Speaker 8: prices and increasing population, I don't think it's very What

288
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:16,053
Speaker 8: do you call it a very sustainable economy in.

289
00:15:16,573 --> 00:15:17,133
Speaker 9: The long one.

290
00:15:18,253 --> 00:15:22,853
Speaker 8: Yeah, and forget about where that increasing population comes.

291
00:15:23,053 --> 00:15:23,333
Speaker 10: Yeah.

292
00:15:24,493 --> 00:15:28,333
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you're absolutely right there, Peter, because a

293
00:15:28,413 --> 00:15:31,493
Speaker 2: lot of what makes people feel confident, and we saw

294
00:15:31,533 --> 00:15:34,493
Speaker 2: this coming out of COVID when the house prices went

295
00:15:34,573 --> 00:15:37,853
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy. Everyone was just spending money because they felt

296
00:15:37,853 --> 00:15:39,893
Speaker 2: like they had it. And then you know in Auckland,

297
00:15:40,013 --> 00:15:42,533
Speaker 2: you know some some house process top twenty five percent

298
00:15:42,573 --> 00:15:46,893
Speaker 2: and you feel negative about it. But yeah, tying how

299
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:50,093
Speaker 2: wealthy your country to the prices of the houses and

300
00:15:50,173 --> 00:15:53,853
Speaker 2: just you know, circling each other in house process isn't

301
00:15:53,853 --> 00:15:54,733
Speaker 2: a healthy economy.

302
00:15:55,933 --> 00:15:58,053
Speaker 8: And the other thing I've just add to that is

303
00:15:58,053 --> 00:16:02,333
Speaker 8: that you know, real real growth is you know, productivity,

304
00:16:02,413 --> 00:16:05,653
Speaker 8: and I don't quite I don't quite know how well

305
00:16:05,693 --> 00:16:09,773
Speaker 8: we are in that recharge. I understand gerry farming is

306
00:16:09,773 --> 00:16:13,693
Speaker 8: probably pretty strong as far as productivity goes.

307
00:16:13,813 --> 00:16:17,812
Speaker 2: Yep. From frontier Frontira is looking good today today.

308
00:16:19,133 --> 00:16:25,773
Speaker 8: And because Ireland are actually we're number one in productivity

309
00:16:25,813 --> 00:16:29,933
Speaker 8: in the world. Just sound quite surprising, but they're probably

310
00:16:29,973 --> 00:16:32,932
Speaker 8: not that surprising when they've got all those got a

311
00:16:32,973 --> 00:16:35,773
Speaker 8: lot of corporations with heavy bases here, so they've got

312
00:16:35,773 --> 00:16:39,133
Speaker 8: a lot of money coming into that place, probably sort

313
00:16:39,213 --> 00:16:45,613
Speaker 8: that that you're I don't know, your actual productivity growth

314
00:16:45,613 --> 00:16:47,213
Speaker 8: of Well.

315
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:50,693
Speaker 3: They have certainly done very well in the international front

316
00:16:50,813 --> 00:16:54,052
Speaker 3: by reducing that corporate tax rates. That is certainly a

317
00:16:54,093 --> 00:16:55,532
Speaker 3: strategy that's paid off for Ireland.

318
00:16:55,973 --> 00:16:57,813
Speaker 2: And it's a little unfair when we compare ourselves to

319
00:16:57,813 --> 00:16:59,453
Speaker 2: the Island, because they are right in the middle of

320
00:16:59,493 --> 00:17:01,052
Speaker 2: it there, right in the thick of it, and we're

321
00:17:01,093 --> 00:17:04,093
Speaker 2: out here in the Pacific. Although Trump was recently saying

322
00:17:04,173 --> 00:17:09,013
Speaker 2: that Ireland has been stealing companies from from a yeah,

323
00:17:09,053 --> 00:17:11,333
Speaker 2: and moving the headquarters over there, so maybe they might

324
00:17:11,373 --> 00:17:14,493
Speaker 2: see some head ones there. I mean, our productivity is

325
00:17:15,853 --> 00:17:18,933
Speaker 2: really really bad in this country, Like you know, our

326
00:17:19,333 --> 00:17:22,813
Speaker 2: rural sector, our farmers high productivity, but the rest of

327
00:17:22,893 --> 00:17:26,893
Speaker 2: us working long hours and and and being reasonably unproductive

328
00:17:26,933 --> 00:17:27,653
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.

329
00:17:28,933 --> 00:17:35,973
Speaker 3: Better yep, I must here, yeah, yeah, yeah, to finish mate,

330
00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:39,133
Speaker 3: to finish mate, you are you are no, No, we

331
00:17:39,133 --> 00:17:42,333
Speaker 3: don't cut people off, mate, just to finish up. I've

332
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,573
Speaker 3: got a we note here that you're always positive, so

333
00:17:44,653 --> 00:17:46,293
Speaker 3: you think this is truly light at the end of

334
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:49,213
Speaker 3: the tunnel. This is a turnaround and and the doldrums

335
00:17:49,253 --> 00:17:50,933
Speaker 3: that we've been in for the last four years.

336
00:17:52,413 --> 00:17:55,053
Speaker 8: We haven't eaten the dolgens in the last four years,

337
00:17:55,053 --> 00:18:00,693
Speaker 8: so can only on Tuesdays. So I really, uh, you

338
00:18:00,893 --> 00:18:02,653
Speaker 8: got to be cheerful about how much of this?

339
00:18:04,253 --> 00:18:05,093
Speaker 3: Yeah?

340
00:18:05,173 --> 00:18:11,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly wise, Yeah, yeah, thank you such so much, Peter.

341
00:18:11,253 --> 00:18:12,533
Speaker 2: And it is funny what you said at the start.

342
00:18:12,533 --> 00:18:15,933
Speaker 2: If you tell your happiness to the GDP, do mystic

343
00:18:16,093 --> 00:18:18,853
Speaker 2: product numbers the grosser mistic product numbers, then you're gonna

344
00:18:18,853 --> 00:18:19,653
Speaker 2: have an interesting life.

345
00:18:19,813 --> 00:18:21,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very true.

346
00:18:21,413 --> 00:18:26,693
Speaker 2: So going back to that text that Peter reference, shut

347
00:18:26,733 --> 00:18:31,213
Speaker 2: up you, Pollyanna. As the country is rooted, no amount

348
00:18:31,213 --> 00:18:34,493
Speaker 2: of happy clapping is going to change that. I was

349
00:18:34,533 --> 00:18:36,613
Speaker 2: just got me thinking, why do people call someone a Pollyanna?

350
00:18:37,013 --> 00:18:38,613
Speaker 2: So I looked it up. Pollyanna refers to a person

351
00:18:38,613 --> 00:18:40,893
Speaker 2: who was successfully or blindly optimistic. We know that, always

352
00:18:40,973 --> 00:18:43,773
Speaker 2: finding the good side and everything. The term originated from

353
00:18:43,773 --> 00:18:46,933
Speaker 2: the nineteen thirty novel by Allan or Porter which we're

354
00:18:46,973 --> 00:18:51,493
Speaker 2: the main character. Pollyanna Whitler is known for her unwaiving optimism.

355
00:18:51,693 --> 00:18:55,493
Speaker 2: So there you go. We're dirty pollyannas. Apparently we all

356
00:18:55,533 --> 00:18:58,613
Speaker 2: need to be Pollyannas for feeling positive, a little bit positive,

357
00:18:58,613 --> 00:19:00,293
Speaker 2: feeling there might be some light at the end of

358
00:19:00,653 --> 00:19:01,133
Speaker 2: the tunnel.

359
00:19:01,413 --> 00:19:03,573
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need a bit of happy clappy though, don't

360
00:19:03,613 --> 00:19:06,013
Speaker 3: we O E one hundred and eighty T eighty is

361
00:19:06,093 --> 00:19:08,093
Speaker 3: the number to call. The text number is nine to

362
00:19:08,133 --> 00:19:11,173
Speaker 3: two and we'll get to a few more of those

363
00:19:11,253 --> 00:19:13,813
Speaker 3: very shortly. It is twenty six pass one.

364
00:19:15,653 --> 00:19:19,613
Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the mic asking breakfast.

365
00:19:19,613 --> 00:19:22,373
Speaker 2: The National Public Health Services, they are being accused of

366
00:19:22,573 --> 00:19:26,053
Speaker 2: overreach and trying to suppress the expertise of officials.

367
00:19:26,093 --> 00:19:28,133
Speaker 11: The Health Minister, Simeon Brown, is with me now.

368
00:19:28,213 --> 00:19:31,693
Speaker 12: I'd love them to start focusing on our immunization targets

369
00:19:31,733 --> 00:19:34,093
Speaker 12: which are woefully behind, and stop trying to be the

370
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,813
Speaker 12: health police telling stallholders announced and they've got to put

371
00:19:36,853 --> 00:19:39,173
Speaker 12: up signs saying bring your own cup or stop it.

372
00:19:39,213 --> 00:19:42,653
Speaker 12: Trying to campaign against McDonald's stores in wan Oco. That's

373
00:19:42,653 --> 00:19:44,973
Speaker 12: not what the National Public Health Service should be focused on.

374
00:19:45,013 --> 00:19:46,773
Speaker 12: Another thing I read it from a submission they made

375
00:19:46,813 --> 00:19:49,493
Speaker 12: to Nolton City Council was Nolton and City Council should

376
00:19:49,493 --> 00:19:52,532
Speaker 12: fan community groups from selling raffle tickets because that might

377
00:19:52,613 --> 00:19:55,813
Speaker 12: encourage gambling. I mean, this is just absolutely ridiculous.

378
00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:58,893
Speaker 2: Back tomorrow at six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with

379
00:19:58,973 --> 00:20:01,133
Speaker 2: Mayley's Real Estate News Talk ZB.

380
00:20:01,573 --> 00:20:04,413
Speaker 3: Good afternoon to you. It is twenty nine past one.

381
00:20:04,973 --> 00:20:07,013
Speaker 3: A lot of great techs coming through on nine to

382
00:20:07,093 --> 00:20:07,693
Speaker 3: nine to two.

383
00:20:08,773 --> 00:20:11,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about trying to manifest a positive economy

384
00:20:11,613 --> 00:20:15,533
Speaker 2: in this country by celebrating things like the gross domestic

385
00:20:15,573 --> 00:20:18,653
Speaker 2: project arising by zero point seven percent in the December

386
00:20:18,653 --> 00:20:22,533
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four quarter following a one point one decrease.

387
00:20:22,853 --> 00:20:24,893
Speaker 2: It's the September twenty twenty four quarter, so you've got

388
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:27,373
Speaker 2: to say, come on, it's a big turnaround from a

389
00:20:27,413 --> 00:20:30,133
Speaker 2: one point one decrease to a zero point seven increase.

390
00:20:30,693 --> 00:20:33,773
Speaker 2: So is it time to just stop the winging and

391
00:20:33,813 --> 00:20:34,693
Speaker 2: start celebrating.

392
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:41,453
Speaker 3: Yeah, this Texas here is Feller's life is good, generally

393
00:20:42,173 --> 00:20:45,013
Speaker 3: up and down, but still good. Some people will always

394
00:20:45,053 --> 00:20:47,893
Speaker 3: moan even in the boom. It's just the human mindset

395
00:20:47,973 --> 00:20:49,173
Speaker 3: sometimes from Andy.

396
00:20:49,053 --> 00:20:53,292
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's true, and it manifest in the markets.

397
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:56,253
Speaker 2: You know, if people aren't spending because they're feeling bad,

398
00:20:56,453 --> 00:20:58,333
Speaker 2: then that has a flowing effect to all of it.

399
00:20:58,453 --> 00:21:01,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that famous quote from Roosevelt, we have

400
00:21:01,533 --> 00:21:03,733
Speaker 3: nothing to fear but fear itself. I mean that have

401
00:21:03,813 --> 00:21:05,653
Speaker 3: we not learned anything from then? That that was the

402
00:21:05,653 --> 00:21:08,253
Speaker 3: whole point is that if you're afraid and you're pull

403
00:21:08,453 --> 00:21:10,213
Speaker 3: your money out of the banks and you're freaking out,

404
00:21:10,253 --> 00:21:12,093
Speaker 3: then things are going to get worse. But if we're

405
00:21:12,133 --> 00:21:14,773
Speaker 3: all a bit more positive and got more confidence, then

406
00:21:15,133 --> 00:21:16,933
Speaker 3: it's going to turn around the economy a bit faster.

407
00:21:17,093 --> 00:21:20,573
Speaker 3: And ghosts, yeah, they're pretty scary. They are very scary.

408
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:23,532
Speaker 2: Exactly if folk a negative ask you they voted for

409
00:21:23,613 --> 00:21:26,333
Speaker 2: lefties only see the negative when the right are in.

410
00:21:26,573 --> 00:21:29,493
Speaker 2: It's tough for all. But let's work together, peace and

411
00:21:29,613 --> 00:21:31,493
Speaker 2: hard work. Love it it says DC.

412
00:21:33,093 --> 00:21:35,293
Speaker 3: Guys. I mean this one, this one's fair enough, easy

413
00:21:35,413 --> 00:21:37,653
Speaker 3: to stop. Win Gene, if you haven't lost your business

414
00:21:37,773 --> 00:21:40,493
Speaker 3: due to the tank economy on the back of appalling

415
00:21:40,533 --> 00:21:42,693
Speaker 3: mismanagement of our economy from Grant.

416
00:21:42,933 --> 00:21:46,413
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, there's there's a stoic principle, and

417
00:21:46,453 --> 00:21:48,773
Speaker 2: you know, I'm always punishing people with my ancient philosophy

418
00:21:48,773 --> 00:21:50,973
Speaker 2: because I'm a big fan of it. But there's always

419
00:21:51,013 --> 00:21:53,213
Speaker 2: someone worse off than you, and there's always someone better

420
00:21:53,253 --> 00:21:56,053
Speaker 2: off than you. You can always find someone and look,

421
00:21:56,173 --> 00:21:58,933
Speaker 2: you know, no matter how bad you're feeling, you can

422
00:21:59,013 --> 00:22:02,613
Speaker 2: look at the person that's you know that as there's

423
00:22:02,653 --> 00:22:04,733
Speaker 2: definitely people worse off than you on the streets. There's

424
00:22:04,733 --> 00:22:08,213
Speaker 2: people that are you know, having to push themselves around

425

Speaker 2: a wheelchair with one finger.

426
00:22:09,693 --> 00:22:10,053
Speaker 7: Very true.

427
00:22:10,133 --> 00:22:13,493
Speaker 2: No, yeah, so there is always reasons to be positive

428
00:22:13,493 --> 00:22:14,173
Speaker 2: about your life.

429
00:22:14,213 --> 00:22:16,973

Speaker 13: Dakota energy company more than a billion dollars for protest

448
00:23:23,733 --> 00:23:27,533

454
00:23:47,773 --> 00:23:49,253
Speaker 13: to Matt Eathan Tyler Adams.

455
00:23:49,293 --> 00:23:51,853
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Rayleen, and we're talking about the

456
00:23:52,293 --> 00:23:55,052
Speaker 3: GDP rising zero point seven percent. It's pulled us out

457
00:23:55,053 --> 00:23:57,733
Speaker 3: of a technical recession. But we've asked the question, do

458
00:23:57,773 --> 00:23:59,493
Speaker 3: we all need to try and be a little bit

459
00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:04,213
Speaker 3: more positive, Pollyanna if you will, because time and time

460
00:24:04,253 --> 00:24:07,733
Speaker 3: again has been proven that confidence and positivity does help

461
00:24:07,773 --> 00:24:09,973
Speaker 3: turn a me around. If we're all feeling a bit better,

462
00:24:10,213 --> 00:24:12,213
Speaker 3: we open up our wallets a little bit more, we

463
00:24:12,293 --> 00:24:13,893
Speaker 3: start to spend a little bit more money.

464
00:24:14,093 --> 00:24:17,013
Speaker 2: People have been winging for so long, Yeah, a non

465
00:24:17,573 --> 00:24:21,973
Speaker 2: stop winging across the board. I think that since we

466
00:24:22,173 --> 00:24:24,733
Speaker 2: came out of COVID, it's been the longest most sustained

467
00:24:24,773 --> 00:24:27,493
Speaker 2: period of winging. Definitely in my life. It's exhausting, doesn't

468
00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:29,213
Speaker 2: I mean, there's been tough times. There's tough times in

469
00:24:29,253 --> 00:24:31,453
Speaker 2: the nineties, but I don't think I think we have

470
00:24:31,533 --> 00:24:35,373
Speaker 2: been running the winging Olympics in this country. Julian, your

471
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:35,893
Speaker 2: thoughts on this.

472
00:24:37,413 --> 00:24:40,293
Speaker 14: Yeah, I've gone with you guys. I prayer to be

473
00:24:40,333 --> 00:24:46,493
Speaker 14: a Pollyanna and most for I always have been what

474
00:24:46,533 --> 00:24:49,933
Speaker 14: I'm more interested in. What are the opposition is going

475
00:24:49,973 --> 00:24:50,493
Speaker 14: to come out with?

476
00:24:50,653 --> 00:24:50,853
Speaker 10: Now?

477
00:24:50,933 --> 00:24:54,373
Speaker 14: Are they? How can they possibly put a bit on this?

478
00:24:54,813 --> 00:24:58,773
Speaker 14: Surely so, I know, I hope that, you know, maybe

479
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:03,213
Speaker 14: before they start staying too much they think about it.

480
00:25:04,853 --> 00:25:09,973
Speaker 14: I think as well, Look, we all seem to how

481
00:25:10,053 --> 00:25:12,733
Speaker 14: positive we are depends on where we are in the

482
00:25:12,733 --> 00:25:16,293
Speaker 14: world financially, and I think also that is a real shame.

483
00:25:16,453 --> 00:25:18,812
Speaker 14: I mean, we should all be thankful that we're alive

484
00:25:19,933 --> 00:25:22,173
Speaker 14: that we've got, you know, and I know not everybody

485
00:25:22,453 --> 00:25:24,133
Speaker 14: is going to agree with them. You know, we've got

486
00:25:24,133 --> 00:25:27,533
Speaker 14: people that we love, We've got people that love us.

487
00:25:28,893 --> 00:25:31,213
Speaker 14: You know, maybe it just it doesn't all come down

488
00:25:31,253 --> 00:25:32,333
Speaker 14: to finances.

489
00:25:33,013 --> 00:25:35,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is interesting even when you do take

490
00:25:35,093 --> 00:25:37,893
Speaker 2: it down to finances. In the world, we don't have

491
00:25:37,973 --> 00:25:40,093
Speaker 2: it as bad as some people would make out. We

492
00:25:40,093 --> 00:25:43,733
Speaker 2: were talking about this yesterday and a study that was

493
00:25:43,773 --> 00:25:47,052
Speaker 2: saying that New Zealand is a relatively wealthy country per capita,

494
00:25:47,093 --> 00:25:50,893
Speaker 2: about seventh in the world, and despite growing inequality, was

495
00:25:50,933 --> 00:25:54,733
Speaker 2: still fourth for median wealth. So you know, you can

496
00:25:54,773 --> 00:25:58,413
Speaker 2: be really really upset in New Zealand and think things

497
00:25:58,493 --> 00:26:02,533
Speaker 2: that terrible, but it was still in a pretty good

498
00:26:02,573 --> 00:26:06,213
Speaker 2: position globally. If you're going to spend some time comparing

499
00:26:06,213 --> 00:26:07,693
Speaker 2: to other people, would you agree, Julian.

500
00:26:08,853 --> 00:26:11,573
Speaker 14: Look, I mean I'm a pensioner. I get a very

501
00:26:13,413 --> 00:26:16,333
Speaker 14: you know, a great pension from the government. A lot

502
00:26:16,333 --> 00:26:19,293
Speaker 14: of countries in the world don't get that. And yes,

503
00:26:19,413 --> 00:26:22,693
Speaker 14: I am mortgage free and I do work part time

504
00:26:22,893 --> 00:26:27,572
Speaker 14: with my trade. But if I don't know, look at

505
00:26:27,613 --> 00:26:29,893
Speaker 14: it's I know, it's it's very easy to be like

506
00:26:29,933 --> 00:26:32,093
Speaker 14: that when you're in that position, and I'm sure there's

507
00:26:32,093 --> 00:26:34,213
Speaker 14: a lot of people out here will say, well, you know,

508
00:26:34,373 --> 00:26:36,532
Speaker 14: golly good on you, Julian, you're doing all right. But

509
00:26:36,613 --> 00:26:38,893
Speaker 14: there's a lot of people that are doing it all right.

510
00:26:39,013 --> 00:26:42,173
Speaker 14: You know, we don't have to have we don't have

511
00:26:42,253 --> 00:26:43,853
Speaker 14: to have a lot of money to be happy.

512
00:26:44,813 --> 00:26:45,013
Speaker 5: Yeah.

513
00:26:45,053 --> 00:26:47,053
Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that though, would you. You wouldn't think

514
00:26:47,093 --> 00:26:50,293
Speaker 2: that that that, you know, the majority of us are

515
00:26:50,373 --> 00:26:54,373
Speaker 2: okay in this country.

516
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:55,733
Speaker 14: There was there was a sad case this morning in

517
00:26:55,773 --> 00:26:58,493
Speaker 14: the paper with a you know, a young mother, you know,

518
00:26:58,533 --> 00:27:00,773
Speaker 14: with a young child as having to live in a tent. Well,

519
00:27:01,653 --> 00:27:06,693
Speaker 14: that hopefully is the extreme, and but she's still most

520
00:27:06,693 --> 00:27:08,253
Speaker 14: probably thankful that she's got a chea.

521
00:27:09,373 --> 00:27:11,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there is that way of looking at because

522
00:27:12,013 --> 00:27:14,853
Speaker 2: you know, if you can walk into the tent and

523
00:27:14,973 --> 00:27:17,253
Speaker 2: zip up the tent, then you're actually doing better than

524
00:27:17,653 --> 00:27:19,773
Speaker 2: some people. And I know this is a controversial thing

525
00:27:19,813 --> 00:27:22,293
Speaker 2: to say, but we tend to compare. And I think

526
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:25,213
Speaker 2: this is part of the Instagram culture, if it will,

527
00:27:25,453 --> 00:27:29,613
Speaker 2: where you're always flashed people that are doing fantastically, and

528
00:27:29,653 --> 00:27:33,013
Speaker 2: most of those people are faking how fantastic their lives are.

529
00:27:33,213 --> 00:27:35,613
Speaker 2: You know, the more positive posts someone puts up, the

530
00:27:35,613 --> 00:27:38,013
Speaker 2: more I think they're probably miserable in the inside. But

531
00:27:38,133 --> 00:27:42,013
Speaker 2: we're being trained to look at the people that are

532
00:27:42,013 --> 00:27:44,333
Speaker 2: doing incredibly well to feel bad about ourselves. And you know,

533
00:27:44,373 --> 00:27:46,933
Speaker 2: comparison is the thief of joy. But if you just

534
00:27:46,973 --> 00:27:50,213
Speaker 2: take a moment to compare to someone that's doing worse

535
00:27:50,253 --> 00:27:53,293
Speaker 2: than you and have some compassion and empthy for them,

536
00:27:53,333 --> 00:27:55,893
Speaker 2: you might actually be doing okay, and you might actually

537
00:27:55,973 --> 00:27:59,453
Speaker 2: be able to be happy with where you are totally.

538
00:27:59,773 --> 00:28:01,573
Speaker 14: Hey, look, here's an idea for a show for you're

539
00:28:01,573 --> 00:28:04,373
Speaker 14: on Friday into it. We've made that sort of week

540
00:28:04,893 --> 00:28:07,453
Speaker 14: don't you have a show where you'll only take calls

541
00:28:07,453 --> 00:28:10,773
Speaker 14: from people that are they view a positive side doesn't

542
00:28:10,813 --> 00:28:13,933
Speaker 14: have to be about them, but you know, only phone

543
00:28:15,013 --> 00:28:18,053
Speaker 14: if you're if you're a positive person, and I'm sure

544
00:28:18,173 --> 00:28:20,573
Speaker 14: the weekend will start gratefully.

545
00:28:20,813 --> 00:28:25,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might only be you. Julian might be Julian

546
00:28:25,213 --> 00:28:27,053
Speaker 2: the Polyanna on eight hundred and eighteen eighty.

547
00:28:27,213 --> 00:28:29,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just to Julian's point, you know, we've been

548
00:28:29,293 --> 00:28:31,933
Speaker 3: so grumpy and angry for so long, and I just

549
00:28:32,013 --> 00:28:34,893
Speaker 3: think we get stuck in that cycle sometimes that it's

550
00:28:34,933 --> 00:28:37,453
Speaker 3: hard to pull out of that negative thinking. And there's

551
00:28:37,453 --> 00:28:40,213
Speaker 3: a study that has just come out. This is according

552
00:28:40,213 --> 00:28:42,893
Speaker 3: to a bunch of neuroscientists, and it's quite right that

553
00:28:43,293 --> 00:28:46,013
Speaker 3: they found Fiji is quite a happy country overall. And

554
00:28:46,053 --> 00:28:49,093
Speaker 3: they found and this is the same with other happy countries,

555
00:28:49,133 --> 00:28:52,573
Speaker 3: that if you are around happy people, naturally your happiness

556
00:28:52,613 --> 00:28:54,853
Speaker 3: goes up. And the reverse is true. If you are

557
00:28:54,893 --> 00:28:58,493
Speaker 3: around grumpy, angry, frustrated people, then you're going to feel

558
00:28:58,493 --> 00:29:00,053
Speaker 3: a bit grumpy, angry and frustrated.

559
00:29:00,173 --> 00:29:02,813
Speaker 2: So you basically owe it to other people around you

560
00:29:02,973 --> 00:29:08,293
Speaker 2: to not be a grumpy person because a negative person,

561
00:29:08,533 --> 00:29:11,413
Speaker 2: because then they will be negative and you'll be negative,

562
00:29:11,453 --> 00:29:12,533
Speaker 2: and I'll go back and forth and you go down.

563
00:29:12,573 --> 00:29:15,373
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I'm having to do with you, Tyler.

564
00:29:15,373 --> 00:29:17,733
Speaker 2: Whatever's the opposite of a Pollyanna that I'm working with?

565
00:29:17,933 --> 00:29:20,253
Speaker 2: Trying to be a poly animate I'm trying real Hey,

566
00:29:20,333 --> 00:29:22,293
Speaker 2: the six er nine two nine two says, guys, I'm

567
00:29:22,373 --> 00:29:26,533
Speaker 2: a dirty, stinking, proud Pollyanna. As someone who's starting a

568
00:29:26,533 --> 00:29:28,613
Speaker 2: new business and looking to hire the first employee, let's

569
00:29:28,653 --> 00:29:32,173
Speaker 2: celebrate the doers and not the talkers. Well, as a

570
00:29:32,213 --> 00:29:34,173
Speaker 2: professional talker, yeah, take umbrage to that.

571
00:29:35,013 --> 00:29:37,493
Speaker 3: I'll get your point, But well done that person starting

572
00:29:37,533 --> 00:29:41,053
Speaker 3: a business that is exactly what we need. And this

573
00:29:41,133 --> 00:29:44,213
Speaker 3: one says, come on boys. More companies will go to

574
00:29:44,253 --> 00:29:46,693
Speaker 3: the wall this year than last, More people will lose

575
00:29:46,733 --> 00:29:48,653
Speaker 3: their job this year than last. It's going to get

576
00:29:48,693 --> 00:29:51,213
Speaker 3: worse before it gets better. I don't believe that. I

577
00:29:51,293 --> 00:29:52,173
Speaker 3: do not believe that.

578
00:29:52,613 --> 00:29:53,693
Speaker 2: What do you cry about it?

579
00:29:53,773 --> 00:29:58,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number

580
00:29:58,333 --> 00:29:59,493
Speaker 3: to call if you want to send a teacher more

581
00:29:59,493 --> 00:30:02,573

Speaker 4: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and

583
00:30:07,853 --> 00:30:11,893
Speaker 4: everything between Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo.

584
00:30:11,773 --> 00:30:14,933
Speaker 1: XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to comfort

585
00:30:15,053 --> 00:30:15,893
Speaker 1: news talks.

586
00:30:15,613 --> 00:30:19,573
Speaker 3: They'd be good afternoon. Welcome into the show. Quarter to two,

587
00:30:19,653 --> 00:30:22,653
Speaker 3: and we are talking about being positive on the back

588
00:30:22,693 --> 00:30:26,093
Speaker 3: of the GDP numbers rising zero point seven percent.

589
00:30:26,293 --> 00:30:28,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on the idea that an economy is a story.

590
00:30:29,253 --> 00:30:30,893
Speaker 2: To a certain extent. We all know that the stock

591
00:30:30,933 --> 00:30:33,293
Speaker 2: market is you know, if it's a it's a bull

592
00:30:33,413 --> 00:30:36,533
Speaker 2: market is a lot just because people manifits that feeling. Yeah,

593
00:30:36,573 --> 00:30:40,013
Speaker 2: you know, and you know that's that's on as to

594
00:30:40,093 --> 00:30:42,133
Speaker 2: use the American expression, I believe that's the same one

595
00:30:42,333 --> 00:30:45,013
Speaker 2: on main Street as well. So if we see good

596
00:30:45,213 --> 00:30:48,733
Speaker 2: GDP numbers that we have, then let's try and celebrate

597
00:30:48,773 --> 00:30:51,573
Speaker 2: them and be positive and you know, look, look for

598
00:30:51,613 --> 00:30:53,613
Speaker 2: the good in our economy.

599
00:30:53,653 --> 00:30:55,773
Speaker 3: We've winged for too long. Oh one hundred and eighty

600
00:30:55,813 --> 00:30:56,813
Speaker 3: ten eighties the number to call?

601
00:30:57,253 --> 00:30:59,013
Speaker 2: Do you agree, Brett or do you think we're a

602
00:30:59,053 --> 00:30:59,813
Speaker 2: bunch of pollyannas?

603
00:31:01,373 --> 00:31:04,733
Speaker 10: HI mean, ty, Look, I'm genuinely excited. I'd go so

604
00:31:04,813 --> 00:31:06,733
Speaker 10: far as to say, if you're not excited, you should

605
00:31:06,773 --> 00:31:08,853
Speaker 10: check your pulse to see if you've got one. Man,

606
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:11,653
Speaker 10: I'd like to make it. I'd love to make a

607
00:31:11,653 --> 00:31:14,173
Speaker 10: couple of acknowledgments if I could, because I always knew

608
00:31:14,213 --> 00:31:17,893
Speaker 10: this was coming, but I'm pleasantly surprised that it's come

609
00:31:17,933 --> 00:31:21,093
Speaker 10: a lot sooner than I thought that Liam Dam's talk

610
00:31:21,173 --> 00:31:23,493
Speaker 10: with you after and it was amazing, And one of

611
00:31:23,493 --> 00:31:25,453
Speaker 10: the great points that Lea made was that at the

612
00:31:25,573 --> 00:31:28,533
Speaker 10: level of growth that we're at is a comfortable level

613
00:31:28,533 --> 00:31:29,893
Speaker 10: to be at. We don't want to be too much

614
00:31:29,933 --> 00:31:32,533
Speaker 10: ahead of that because we get that inflation worth kicking

615
00:31:32,613 --> 00:31:34,373
Speaker 10: in and we all know the pain that that's caused.

616
00:31:34,533 --> 00:31:37,733
Speaker 10: But look, really my main point today is yes, I

617
00:31:37,773 --> 00:31:39,653
Speaker 10: want to celebrate this with the rest of the country.

618
00:31:39,693 --> 00:31:43,773
Speaker 10: It's fantastic my accolade's acknowledgement. Go to this National Leag

619
00:31:43,893 --> 00:31:48,573
Speaker 10: coalition who have worked tirelessly, tirelessly since the day they

620
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:51,613
Speaker 10: were elected to get us to this position, way ahead

621
00:31:51,653 --> 00:31:54,053
Speaker 10: of when I thought it would be humanly possible to

622
00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:56,693
Speaker 10: do this. I've bashed on about this on Talk About

623
00:31:56,773 --> 00:31:59,133
Speaker 10: radio a few times over recent months, and I just

624
00:31:59,173 --> 00:32:02,973
Speaker 10: want to reiterate where I came from. We will live

625
00:32:03,053 --> 00:32:05,133
Speaker 10: in the land of milk and honey again if we

626
00:32:05,333 --> 00:32:09,293
Speaker 10: hold the line and w saying hold the If we

627
00:32:09,333 --> 00:32:14,413
Speaker 10: can give this goalisten government three terms nine years, we

628
00:32:14,453 --> 00:32:17,093
Speaker 10: will be back in the land of milkne honey, because

629
00:32:17,133 --> 00:32:20,133
Speaker 10: they've got the intellectual powerhouse to get us there, and

630
00:32:20,173 --> 00:32:21,533
Speaker 10: they've proven that today.

631
00:32:22,893 --> 00:32:25,293
Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that, though, would you. That's not the

632
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:27,893
Speaker 2: feeling we get. You know, if you're just walking around

633
00:32:27,893 --> 00:32:30,693
Speaker 2: the streets talking to people or you know, listening to

634
00:32:30,733 --> 00:32:34,413
Speaker 2: the media, you're not really getting the feeling that things

635
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:35,653
Speaker 2: are going well for the coalition.

636
00:32:37,253 --> 00:32:40,853
Speaker 10: No, and we'll see it and thinks that comicsuse. I

637
00:32:40,933 --> 00:32:42,893
Speaker 10: get that a lot too. The reason for that is

638
00:32:42,933 --> 00:32:47,293
Speaker 10: because I don't think enough people are able to acknowledge

639
00:32:47,693 --> 00:32:51,253
Speaker 10: just how bad the damage was that they picked up

640
00:32:51,253 --> 00:32:53,933
Speaker 10: when they got into power. And you know, Nikola and

641
00:32:54,053 --> 00:32:57,133
Speaker 10: Chris and Winston and all of the team. You know,

642
00:32:57,173 --> 00:32:59,533
Speaker 10: they're all giving us the messages, but they're trying to

643
00:32:59,573 --> 00:33:03,213
Speaker 10: be polite on what they're telling us. It is really bad,

644
00:33:03,333 --> 00:33:07,173
Speaker 10: like beyond belief bad. And they are working pilously and

645
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:10,693
Speaker 10: had done the get us well our I understand that,

646
00:33:10,933 --> 00:33:13,173
Speaker 10: and I accept just how bad it was. And if

647
00:33:13,213 --> 00:33:17,133
Speaker 10: New Zealand congrasp that give them some credit, hold the line,

648
00:33:17,453 --> 00:33:19,413
Speaker 10: walk with them, Thoy'll take us to where we want

649
00:33:19,413 --> 00:33:19,733
Speaker 10: to believe.

650
00:33:19,813 --> 00:33:21,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, fairpoint, Brent. Do you think part of it is,

651
00:33:21,973 --> 00:33:24,933
Speaker 3: though that New Zealanders just love a bit of a

652
00:33:24,973 --> 00:33:27,813
Speaker 3: winge even in the good times. We give the Palms

653
00:33:27,813 --> 00:33:30,653
Speaker 3: a bit of stick for it, But if we're being honest,

654
00:33:31,133 --> 00:33:34,253
Speaker 3: we enjoy a bit of a winge as well. Yeah.

655
00:33:34,253 --> 00:33:36,973
Speaker 10: I think there is something weirdly generic in New Zealand

656
00:33:37,013 --> 00:33:41,893
Speaker 10: psyche about that. I don't understand that. I mean, haven't

657
00:33:41,893 --> 00:33:45,173
Speaker 10: we been through enough pain? Can't we be positive? See positivity?

658
00:33:45,213 --> 00:33:47,413
Speaker 10: For what it is and grasp But there are still

659
00:33:47,453 --> 00:33:50,133
Speaker 10: a lot of people hurting out there. I know, no pain,

660
00:33:50,253 --> 00:33:52,933
Speaker 10: no game. Nikola has said that, and what she's doing

661
00:33:53,013 --> 00:33:55,493
Speaker 10: is the pain, but she knows that the gain is

662
00:33:55,533 --> 00:33:57,133
Speaker 10: at the end of the road if we just hold

663
00:33:57,213 --> 00:33:59,213
Speaker 10: the line. My heart goes out for people who are

664
00:33:59,253 --> 00:34:01,213
Speaker 10: hurting more than I am, and there are a lot.

665
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:04,333
Speaker 10: But we can't change that. But what we can do

666
00:34:04,453 --> 00:34:07,773
Speaker 10: is be foot before thinking, be positive, and let's grow

667
00:34:07,893 --> 00:34:10,373
Speaker 10: to go forward. But this grow with a solid base,

668
00:34:10,613 --> 00:34:13,252
Speaker 10: not just printing money and driving inflation up. But the

669
00:34:13,333 --> 00:34:17,133
Speaker 10: last UNTI clou nderstood for six before six years you

670
00:34:17,133 --> 00:34:17,573
Speaker 10: gave Brett.

671
00:34:17,613 --> 00:34:19,093
Speaker 2: You're getting a hell of a lot of support on

672
00:34:19,213 --> 00:34:20,293
Speaker 2: the text machine.

673
00:34:20,413 --> 00:34:21,333
Speaker 3: Yeah absolutely.

674
00:34:21,413 --> 00:34:25,293
Speaker 2: I mean there is a thing though that bad news

675
00:34:25,333 --> 00:34:29,853
Speaker 2: sells and positive doesn't, so it bleeds it leads. Right now,

676
00:34:29,853 --> 00:34:32,973
Speaker 2: we're trying to do a positive topic on on you know,

677
00:34:33,173 --> 00:34:35,413
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty ten to eighty, and it's it's

678
00:34:35,813 --> 00:34:40,093
Speaker 2: like starting a messport moa, a fifty year old messport

679
00:34:40,093 --> 00:34:45,613
Speaker 2: mow with no spark plus yeah, come on. Whereas if

680
00:34:45,613 --> 00:34:48,173
Speaker 2: you do it an incredibly negative topics, that's just the

681
00:34:48,173 --> 00:34:51,053
Speaker 2: way people are, you know, they will fire up on

682
00:34:51,093 --> 00:34:54,493
Speaker 2: something negative, but they won't fire up on something positive.

683
00:34:54,613 --> 00:34:56,853
Speaker 2: So as a result, you hear a lot more negative

684
00:34:56,893 --> 00:35:03,013
Speaker 2: out there because people just don't go, hey, doesn't it's

685
00:35:03,053 --> 00:35:06,893
Speaker 2: not it's not the emotion that that gets people to

686
00:35:07,653 --> 00:35:10,293
Speaker 2: click on things and ring things, you know.

687
00:35:10,333 --> 00:35:13,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we should. I love Sunshine and Rainbows? Yeah,

688
00:35:13,613 --> 00:35:16,613
Speaker 3: oh Hunt, Yeah, who doesn't do you sing that again?

689
00:35:17,453 --> 00:35:18,252
Speaker 2: What is that song?

690
00:35:18,653 --> 00:35:20,093
Speaker 3: So China Rainbore?

691
00:35:20,413 --> 00:35:20,733
Speaker 15: I don't know.

692
00:35:20,773 --> 00:35:24,013
Speaker 3: I think you just made that up, sun and Rainbows.

693
00:35:24,133 --> 00:35:24,533
Speaker 2: I don't know.

694
00:35:24,853 --> 00:35:26,413
Speaker 3: We're going to get it in to the studio after

695
00:35:26,453 --> 00:35:27,733
Speaker 3: this and just get that on record.

696
00:35:27,853 --> 00:35:31,133
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Brent's getting a lot of support than Brett.

697
00:35:31,173 --> 00:35:32,813
Speaker 2: Was it in brtent? Brent? Brent?

698
00:35:32,973 --> 00:35:33,212
Speaker 7: Brent?

699
00:35:33,413 --> 00:35:35,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's lots of support for Brett and Brent, but

700
00:35:35,373 --> 00:35:37,293
Speaker 2: I think they mean the same person for what he

701
00:35:37,413 --> 00:35:37,973
Speaker 2: was saying.

702
00:35:37,813 --> 00:35:40,493
Speaker 3: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number? Call

703
00:35:40,573 --> 00:35:43,373
Speaker 3: nine two nine to two is the text number?

704
00:35:44,573 --> 00:35:44,853
Speaker 5: Wow?

705
00:35:45,013 --> 00:35:47,253
Speaker 2: But then the negatives coming in now.

706
00:35:48,333 --> 00:35:49,692
Speaker 3: Yeah, there it is there.

707
00:35:49,693 --> 00:35:50,333
Speaker 2: It is right.

708
00:35:50,373 --> 00:35:52,853
Speaker 3: We're going to take a few more phone calls very shortly.

709
00:35:52,893 --> 00:35:53,973

00:36:08,133 --> 00:36:11,693
Speaker 3: Too good afternoon that there's seven to two.

714
00:36:12,293 --> 00:36:13,373
Speaker 2: Rather welcome to the show.

715
00:36:14,853 --> 00:36:19,973
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, I definitely echo with bread but obviously by

716
00:36:20,013 --> 00:36:22,813
Speaker 16: my name or India crazy air kind of thing. But

717
00:36:23,653 --> 00:36:25,933
Speaker 16: I have noticed that probably more so in the last

718
00:36:25,933 --> 00:36:28,533
Speaker 16: ten years, that just the kiwis I work with it

719
00:36:28,773 --> 00:36:33,573
Speaker 16: just ah so negative for where I work, and you know,

720
00:36:33,693 --> 00:36:36,733
Speaker 16: we've at a twenty five percent pay increase in the last.

721
00:36:36,493 --> 00:36:39,493
Speaker 5: Four years and still not good enough for them.

722
00:36:39,573 --> 00:36:41,773
Speaker 16: They want twenty five percent every year, and I'm like,

723
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:45,773
Speaker 16: you're doing less work than when I started, And I

724
00:36:45,853 --> 00:36:47,813
Speaker 16: just I just can't put the good the keywis that

725
00:36:47,853 --> 00:36:52,573
Speaker 16: are very I will say, I'm very motivated. They go

726
00:36:52,733 --> 00:36:55,253
Speaker 16: like most of my friends that are very well successful

727
00:36:55,253 --> 00:36:57,493
Speaker 16: when you know, earning crazing money and they're loving at

728
00:36:57,493 --> 00:37:00,933
Speaker 16: the lifestyle that kind of re seats you know, most

729
00:37:00,933 --> 00:37:03,293
Speaker 16: of them, a lot of them haven't made it work

730
00:37:03,333 --> 00:37:05,373
Speaker 16: in New Zealand. And I just threw a little bit

731
00:37:05,413 --> 00:37:07,053
Speaker 16: of bit of hard work, like you know, when there's

732
00:37:07,053 --> 00:37:09,453
Speaker 16: overtime at work by smashed out. I want to know

733
00:37:09,573 --> 00:37:13,013
Speaker 16: over time, won't take a holiday and I'm probably averaged

734
00:37:13,173 --> 00:37:15,133
Speaker 16: ten to twelve weeks off a year, you know, And

735
00:37:15,173 --> 00:37:18,853
Speaker 16: I'm it's just like I said, it's the attitude that

736
00:37:19,893 --> 00:37:23,973
Speaker 16: the mindset has changed so much, probably in the last

737
00:37:24,013 --> 00:37:26,813
Speaker 16: ten years with kiwis that, you know, because when you

738
00:37:26,893 --> 00:37:30,893
Speaker 16: come over here from overseas, we're not afforded the doal,

739
00:37:31,053 --> 00:37:34,533
Speaker 16: the benefits the doctor, the chief doctor, for the chief prescriptions.

740
00:37:34,653 --> 00:37:35,773
Speaker 16: We have to pay full price.

741
00:37:36,453 --> 00:37:39,212
Speaker 10: Krew will get a shock how much at costs to go.

742
00:37:39,173 --> 00:37:41,613
Speaker 16: To the doctor when you're not a resident and you

743
00:37:41,693 --> 00:37:44,973
Speaker 16: have to pay full price for bizarre descriptions. It's you know,

744
00:37:45,093 --> 00:37:48,053
Speaker 16: but I tend to and you know, I probably hang

745
00:37:48,053 --> 00:37:50,253
Speaker 16: out with one or two people from work outside of

746
00:37:50,253 --> 00:37:52,212
Speaker 16: work because I just don't want them on my life.

747
00:37:52,253 --> 00:37:55,813
Speaker 16: I didn't really want people to have that outlook going.

748
00:37:56,373 --> 00:37:59,173
Speaker 16: Actually it's not so bad here, you know, And I

749
00:37:59,333 --> 00:38:02,293
Speaker 16: love love this country. I went back into you twice

750
00:38:02,573 --> 00:38:05,652
Speaker 16: in the last five years, and I'm like, yeah, give

751
00:38:05,693 --> 00:38:06,773
Speaker 16: me New Zealand any day.

Speaker 2: You're a great u zal good on your aja. Yeah,

753
00:38:11,453 --> 00:38:13,413
Speaker 2: this Texas sy is Troy reading a book Ten Reasons

754
00:38:13,413 --> 00:38:15,293
Speaker 2: why we are wrong about the world. Mainly, the world

755
00:38:15,333 --> 00:38:17,652
Speaker 2: we live in is a wonderful place and generally is

756
00:38:18,453 --> 00:38:21,373
Speaker 2: on the gradual improve Folks are better off and in

757

Speaker 2: New Zealand we live in paradise generally. The book finishes,

758
00:38:24,853 --> 00:38:27,213
Speaker 2: don't judge the world by what the press reports. That

759
00:38:27,373 --> 00:38:31,373
Speaker 2: mayhem and sad at times is what folk want to read. Perversely,

760
00:38:31,453 --> 00:38:34,292
Speaker 2: happiness is wonderful, even if it's not your own. Cheers

761
00:38:34,333 --> 00:38:34,732
Speaker 2: from Ray.

762
00:38:34,893 --> 00:38:37,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, great text. Yeah, and just to Raja's point, you know,

763
00:38:37,853 --> 00:38:39,773
Speaker 3: we've talked about the brain drain and a lot of

764
00:38:39,773 --> 00:38:42,733
Speaker 3: young people leaving New Zealand and look, I understand why

765
00:38:42,813 --> 00:38:45,413
Speaker 3: a lot of those young people decided to do that,

766
00:38:45,533 --> 00:38:47,373
Speaker 3: and not so young people decided to do that.

767
00:38:47,253 --> 00:38:48,133
Speaker 2: But WIMPs.

768
00:38:48,453 --> 00:38:51,533
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you if you firmly love this country

769
00:38:51,533 --> 00:38:53,453
Speaker 3: and believe in it, and yes, we've been in the

770
00:38:53,453 --> 00:38:57,773
Speaker 3: doldrooms of some years, but things undoubtedly will get better

771
00:38:58,293 --> 00:39:01,812
Speaker 3: and undoubtedly I'm sure they want to return. So stay here,

772
00:39:02,013 --> 00:39:04,733
Speaker 3: dig in and help us get back on our footing,

773
00:39:05,053 --> 00:39:07,093
Speaker 3: because you know, all this whining about oh you know

00:40:21,693 --> 00:40:25,493
Speaker 1: It's Matt Heathan Taylor Adams Afternoons with the Volvo XC

788
00:40:25,693 --> 00:40:26,613
Speaker 1: nineteen Youth Talks.

789
00:40:26,613 --> 00:40:31,773
Speaker 3: They'd be good afternoon. We're certainly feeling positive going into

790
00:40:31,853 --> 00:40:34,053
Speaker 3: the rest of the show, so good chat last now,

791
00:40:34,253 --> 00:40:36,653
Speaker 3: thank you very much. But this is going to be

792
00:40:36,853 --> 00:40:41,133
Speaker 3: a interesting discussion. It is a question that was raised

793
00:40:41,173 --> 00:40:44,293
Speaker 3: in The Herald as part of an ask an Expert series,

794
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:48,093
Speaker 3: So I'll read out the headline. When is it too

795
00:40:48,173 --> 00:40:50,733
Speaker 3: late to reveal that you're deep into an office romance?

796
00:40:50,813 --> 00:40:53,172
Speaker 3: So here's the question for the expert. I've been dating

797
00:40:53,213 --> 00:40:54,813
Speaker 3: a man who works at the same company as I

798
00:40:54,933 --> 00:40:58,093
Speaker 3: do since twenty twenty one. Our relationship has since developed

799
00:40:58,133 --> 00:41:00,933
Speaker 3: and it has been almost four years now. We love

800
00:41:01,013 --> 00:41:03,053
Speaker 3: and trust each other and we have decided to get

801
00:41:03,133 --> 00:41:05,293
Speaker 3: married next year. For the past three years, I have

802
00:41:05,413 --> 00:41:07,413
Speaker 3: kept that fact that I have a boyfriend a secret

803
00:41:07,453 --> 00:41:10,253
Speaker 3: from my coworkers, even my close ones. There are several

804
00:41:10,333 --> 00:41:12,893
Speaker 3: reasons for this, but the biggest one is that I

805
00:41:13,053 --> 00:41:16,533
Speaker 3: didn't want to be the subject of office gossip, and

806
00:41:16,613 --> 00:41:20,133
Speaker 3: I wanted to avoid the potential awkwardness in case we

807
00:41:20,373 --> 00:41:23,413
Speaker 3: broke up. During this time, some coworkers have suggested that

808
00:41:23,493 --> 00:41:26,213
Speaker 3: I meet their single friends. Sometimes I feel guilty as

809
00:41:26,253 --> 00:41:28,853
Speaker 3: I realized that I may have deceived people who truly

810
00:41:28,933 --> 00:41:31,413
Speaker 3: care about me. Now, as the time has come to

811
00:41:31,573 --> 00:41:35,893
Speaker 3: openly acknowledge my workplace relationship, I'm feeling anxious and unsure.

812
00:41:36,053 --> 00:41:37,253
Speaker 3: Do you have any advice?

813
00:41:37,573 --> 00:41:40,733
Speaker 2: I don't know, just stay So are you asking me

814
00:41:40,813 --> 00:41:41,172
Speaker 2: for advice?

815
00:41:41,373 --> 00:41:41,533
Speaker 18: Yeah?

816
00:41:41,573 --> 00:41:42,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right.

817
00:41:42,853 --> 00:41:44,693
Speaker 2: No, I don't even advice to you. You do what

818
00:41:44,773 --> 00:41:48,613
Speaker 2: you want. But I think this whole thing around office

819
00:41:48,813 --> 00:41:51,173
Speaker 2: relationships is a weird one, isn't it, Because where are

820
00:41:51,173 --> 00:41:52,573
Speaker 2: you supposed to meet people if you don't meet them

821
00:41:52,573 --> 00:41:54,093
Speaker 2: at work unless you're going to get on as I

822
00:41:54,173 --> 00:41:57,733
Speaker 2: was saying before, the filthy, dirty soul crushing apps that

823
00:41:57,813 --> 00:42:00,373
Speaker 2: everyone complains about and doesn't seem to be able to

824
00:42:00,413 --> 00:42:03,893
Speaker 2: rustle up anyone decent on. So you know, if you're

825
00:42:03,973 --> 00:42:07,013
Speaker 2: working the amount of hours we work forty fifty sixty

826
00:42:07,093 --> 00:42:10,933
Speaker 2: hours a week, you know, isn't that the perfect place

827
00:42:11,053 --> 00:42:12,493
Speaker 2: for us spark to fire up.

828
00:42:12,893 --> 00:42:15,413
Speaker 3: Well, there's certainly a lot of people listening right now

829
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:18,853
Speaker 3: that would have had office relationships that may have turned

830
00:42:18,853 --> 00:42:21,493
Speaker 3: into marriages or long term relationships, and we'd love to

831
00:42:21,573 --> 00:42:23,653
Speaker 3: hear from you. But I think it is still a

832
00:42:23,693 --> 00:42:26,133
Speaker 3: bit of a mindfield. Do you tell your boss if

833
00:42:26,173 --> 00:42:28,253
Speaker 3: that is a situation that you were getting into it?

834
00:42:28,253 --> 00:42:31,213
Speaker 3: And I just raised this line for you. I wanted

835
00:42:31,253 --> 00:42:34,333
Speaker 3: to avoid the potential awkwardness in case we broke up.

836
00:42:34,493 --> 00:42:36,973
Speaker 2: What are the rules that our particular workplace en z

837
00:42:37,253 --> 00:42:40,413
Speaker 2: ME or news talk ZB to be precise, Do we

838
00:42:40,533 --> 00:42:44,692
Speaker 2: have to tell Boggsy the CEO when we're dating someone?

839
00:42:44,853 --> 00:42:45,733
Speaker 3: Is it in your contract?

840
00:42:45,973 --> 00:42:48,933
Speaker 2: Yeah? Because I guess the idea is that it can

841
00:42:49,013 --> 00:42:53,173
Speaker 2: cause problems in the work perceived whatever the word for

842
00:42:53,253 --> 00:42:56,773
Speaker 2: nepotism of accounts. If it's just between a relationship favoring someone,

843
00:42:57,733 --> 00:43:01,213
Speaker 2: you know, because you're in a relationship with them, that

844
00:43:01,453 --> 00:43:05,893
Speaker 2: kind of thing perceived, you know, like problems if they

845
00:43:05,973 --> 00:43:08,813
Speaker 2: break up and someddenly they can't work together. So I

846
00:43:08,853 --> 00:43:11,493
Speaker 2: guess that's why you need to tell your boss, or well,

847
00:43:11,813 --> 00:43:13,773
Speaker 2: I guess why it might be seen that you need

848
00:43:13,813 --> 00:43:15,333
Speaker 2: to tell your boss that you're having a relationship.

849
00:43:15,453 --> 00:43:17,053
Speaker 3: That would be the biggest worry, right that if it

850
00:43:17,133 --> 00:43:22,373
Speaker 3: doesn't go well and then it becomes toxic for whatever reason,

851
00:43:22,413 --> 00:43:25,013
Speaker 3: because we know, you know, with these relationship breakups quite

852
00:43:25,053 --> 00:43:29,213
Speaker 3: often it's not pleasant. Then you've infected the whole workplace

853
00:43:29,333 --> 00:43:32,773
Speaker 3: with this weird, kind of awkward, toxic relationship that he

854
00:43:32,933 --> 00:43:35,013
Speaker 3: broke up with me and he's awful she broke up

855
00:43:35,053 --> 00:43:36,053
Speaker 3: with me and didn't call me back.

856
00:43:36,253 --> 00:43:39,813
Speaker 2: I would say, considering you know the amount of ours

857
00:43:39,853 --> 00:43:42,213
Speaker 2: as are saying before people work that a huge percentage

858
00:43:42,253 --> 00:43:45,973
Speaker 2: of relationships would start at work. Surely is it fifty percent?

859
00:43:46,573 --> 00:43:48,813
Speaker 2: Is it forty percent? I should get the stats on this.

860
00:43:48,933 --> 00:43:50,453
Speaker 2: I saw them recently, but they were out of the

861
00:43:50,533 --> 00:43:52,413
Speaker 2: United States, and it used to be much higher. It

862
00:43:52,533 --> 00:43:55,813
Speaker 2: used to be like fifty percent of all relationships started

863
00:43:56,613 --> 00:44:00,333
Speaker 2: as work relationships because that's where you meet people and

864
00:44:00,413 --> 00:44:02,213
Speaker 2: that's where you spend a lot of time with people.

865
00:44:02,493 --> 00:44:04,573
Speaker 2: So it kind of makes sense. It'd be ridiculous to

866
00:44:04,573 --> 00:44:07,333
Speaker 2: shut that down. And you, Tyler, were saying before to

867
00:44:07,453 --> 00:44:10,093
Speaker 2: me that people have to be on the exact same

868
00:44:10,573 --> 00:44:16,253
Speaker 2: status level. Yeah, so only people that are, you know,

869
00:44:16,893 --> 00:44:20,732
Speaker 2: exactly your level. So you would be only dating people

870
00:44:20,773 --> 00:44:22,533
Speaker 2: on a really low level at work, whereas I'd be

871
00:44:22,613 --> 00:44:24,453
Speaker 2: only allowed to date people on a really high level.

872
00:44:24,773 --> 00:44:27,772
Speaker 2: It ends in me. I don't think that's I don't

873
00:44:27,813 --> 00:44:28,893
Speaker 2: think that makes sense, does it?

874
00:44:29,173 --> 00:44:32,853
Speaker 3: But then if you are managing someone and then you

875
00:44:33,093 --> 00:44:37,533
Speaker 3: date someone you're managing, that opens up a world of issue.

876
00:44:37,613 --> 00:44:41,413
Speaker 3: Surely it opens up a world of getting promoted. Maybe

877
00:44:41,773 --> 00:44:45,653
Speaker 3: maybe oh eight, one hundred. The tex machine has exploded

878
00:44:45,693 --> 00:44:46,893
Speaker 3: nine two, nine to two. If you want to send

879
00:44:46,933 --> 00:44:49,013
Speaker 3: a text but love to hear from you on this one? Yeah,

880
00:44:49,893 --> 00:44:54,373
Speaker 3: is it a bad idea to start a relationship with

881
00:44:54,453 --> 00:44:56,493
Speaker 3: someone at work? I wait, one hundred and eighty ten eighty,

882
00:44:56,773 --> 00:44:58,453
Speaker 3: if you've done it and it's worked out, and I'm

883
00:44:58,453 --> 00:45:00,453
Speaker 3: sure there's a heck of a lot of people listening

884
00:45:00,773 --> 00:45:03,053
Speaker 3: where it's absolutely worked out and they got married or

885
00:45:03,173 --> 00:45:05,293
Speaker 3: they've still in a long term relationship. Love to hear

886
00:45:05,333 --> 00:45:08,453
Speaker 3: from you, Feather and Barrin, who's that either?

887
00:45:08,533 --> 00:45:12,613
Speaker 2: And barn either? Oh yeah, yeah, no, I was trying

888
00:45:12,653 --> 00:45:16,933
Speaker 2: to say it. Hey, guys, I married my workmate. What

889
00:45:17,053 --> 00:45:19,893
Speaker 2: I do outside work hours is my business, are not theirs?

890
00:45:19,973 --> 00:45:22,252
Speaker 2: That's from Jane. Yeah, so I went under to eighty

891
00:45:22,333 --> 00:45:26,533
Speaker 2: ten eighty. Have you started a relationship that's been successful

892
00:45:26,653 --> 00:45:28,893
Speaker 2: with a workmate? Have you started a relationship with a

893
00:45:28,933 --> 00:45:33,813
Speaker 2: workmate that's been unsuccessful? What are the what are the downsides?

894
00:45:33,853 --> 00:45:34,973
Speaker 2: And what are the upsides?

895
00:45:35,093 --> 00:45:35,293
Speaker 10: Yeah?

896
00:45:35,653 --> 00:45:37,573
Speaker 3: I wait, undred eighty ten eighty is the number to

897
00:45:37,613 --> 00:45:40,252
Speaker 3: call just quickly before we go to messages. I had

898
00:45:40,373 --> 00:45:42,933
Speaker 3: a boss of me a hard time. This was this

899
00:45:43,093 --> 00:45:45,853
Speaker 3: was years ago, because he thought I was in a

900
00:45:45,933 --> 00:45:48,212
Speaker 3: relationship with my coworker. We weren't. We were just really

901
00:45:48,253 --> 00:45:50,692
Speaker 3: good friends. But he pulled me aside and said, mate,

902
00:45:50,693 --> 00:45:52,093
Speaker 3: what's what's what's going on over there?

903
00:45:52,333 --> 00:45:52,773
Speaker 11: What do you mean?

904
00:45:53,253 --> 00:45:56,253
Speaker 3: So I see you guys together all the time work? Yeah,

905
00:45:56,413 --> 00:45:58,493
Speaker 3: you you w in a relationship? So no, no, no,

906
00:45:58,573 --> 00:46:00,333
Speaker 3: we're just friendsis so good And then I said what

907
00:46:00,373 --> 00:46:02,933
Speaker 3: do you mean good? Said, can't be having there? So

908
00:46:03,053 --> 00:46:05,133
Speaker 3: I got you know, I felt a bit of annoyance

909
00:46:05,173 --> 00:46:08,653
Speaker 3: and say, well, mind your bloody business. But it was

910
00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:12,213
Speaker 3: kind of that awkward nature that he thought, if it

911
00:46:12,293 --> 00:46:14,093
Speaker 3: goes wrong, then the whole team and bloats.

912
00:46:14,573 --> 00:46:17,653
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I see what you're saying. So that's a

913
00:46:17,693 --> 00:46:19,893
Speaker 2: workwife you're talking about there, aren't you. Yeah, effectively, I

914
00:46:19,973 --> 00:46:22,493
Speaker 2: mean a workwife is fine until you start having work

915
00:46:22,533 --> 00:46:23,053
Speaker 2: kids with them.

925
00:46:49,973 --> 00:46:52,693
Speaker 3: interesting story about a woman who's been in an office

926
00:46:52,733 --> 00:46:55,533
Speaker 3: relationship for about five years and they're about to get

927
00:46:55,573 --> 00:46:58,453
Speaker 3: married and she hasn't told anybody, and she's worried it's

928
00:46:58,453 --> 00:47:00,053

Speaker 19: Yeah?

940
00:47:31,293 --> 00:47:33,653
Speaker 7: Not, well, we were working together, you know, it was

941
00:47:33,733 --> 00:47:35,253
Speaker 7: like a day or two afterwards.

942
00:47:38,773 --> 00:47:41,373
Speaker 2: You married a day to day or two afterwards? Or

943
00:47:41,693 --> 00:47:44,453
Speaker 2: did you start up the relationship a day or two

944
00:47:44,493 --> 00:47:45,373
Speaker 2: after not working?

945
00:47:46,413 --> 00:47:49,573
Speaker 7: Oh well, you know, I can't really tell you too

946
00:47:49,653 --> 00:47:52,573
Speaker 7: much now, can I? Yeah?

947
00:47:53,453 --> 00:47:53,933
Speaker 20: Pretty much?

948
00:47:54,333 --> 00:47:56,773
Speaker 7: Yeah, pretty much being on. But we keeped it outside

949
00:47:56,813 --> 00:48:00,533
Speaker 7: of work, you know. Yeah, but yeah, nowadays, if you

950
00:48:00,613 --> 00:48:02,252
Speaker 7: looked at that, it would be a bad time.

951
00:48:03,493 --> 00:48:07,013
Speaker 2: And I sort of what was the level of the work,

952
00:48:07,613 --> 00:48:10,533
Speaker 2: just so she's your boss? How much further up the

953
00:48:10,693 --> 00:48:11,853
Speaker 2: corporate letter was she from you?

954
00:48:12,853 --> 00:48:13,493
Speaker 10: Well? I think I was.

955
00:48:13,853 --> 00:48:16,893
Speaker 7: She was like right up there. I was just a supervisor,

956
00:48:16,973 --> 00:48:21,013
Speaker 7: you know. So yeah, but she was more interested in

957
00:48:21,133 --> 00:48:23,293
Speaker 7: what I used to do before I took that job,

958
00:48:23,493 --> 00:48:26,133
Speaker 7: and that was search and rescue. You know, I worked

959
00:48:26,133 --> 00:48:29,373
Speaker 7: with Norwegians, we go down the ice in October and

960
00:48:29,453 --> 00:48:31,613
Speaker 7: then we worked with the Orion from the Air Force.

961
00:48:32,413 --> 00:48:35,533
Speaker 7: So she was she was more into that than what

962
00:48:35,813 --> 00:48:38,093
Speaker 7: we were doing. And we were working with King Simon,

963
00:48:38,133 --> 00:48:43,293
Speaker 7: you know. So because she got me in originally, so

964
00:48:43,413 --> 00:48:46,893
Speaker 7: I could teach the guys how to process Marlon and

965
00:48:47,053 --> 00:48:51,493
Speaker 7: sooner properly, because you can't process the whole Marlon. You

966
00:48:51,573 --> 00:48:53,773
Speaker 7: can't eat the whole Marlon. You're only taking the lines

967
00:48:53,813 --> 00:48:57,573
Speaker 7: of it, and the rest goes to waste because gon't

968
00:48:57,573 --> 00:48:57,853
Speaker 7: eat it.

969
00:48:58,293 --> 00:49:01,533
Speaker 2: And and and is the Is the marriage still going, Steve?

970
00:49:02,733 --> 00:49:03,973
Speaker 7: Uh No, we're separate.

971
00:49:04,053 --> 00:49:04,172
Speaker 13: Ble.

972
00:49:04,213 --> 00:49:07,373
Speaker 7: We actually get on better now. And that was nine

973
00:49:07,493 --> 00:49:10,733
Speaker 7: years ago we got married. So and we get on

974
00:49:11,213 --> 00:49:13,413
Speaker 7: better now than what we were moving together.

975
00:49:13,693 --> 00:49:17,933
Speaker 2: So you bonded over processing Marlin and your previous work

976
00:49:18,293 --> 00:49:21,133
Speaker 2: with the Norwegians. And how did that? How did the

977
00:49:21,173 --> 00:49:23,853
Speaker 2: flame grow? How did the flame grow over time at

978
00:49:23,893 --> 00:49:25,093
Speaker 2: the at their workplace?

979
00:49:25,253 --> 00:49:27,733
Speaker 7: It was good because we both held off, but we

980
00:49:27,853 --> 00:49:30,013
Speaker 7: knew it was there. We knew there was a connection

981
00:49:30,253 --> 00:49:35,573
Speaker 7: somehow because every time I pushed smile, you know, I

982
00:49:35,653 --> 00:49:37,933
Speaker 7: could see her On days beeuse she was a bit down.

983
00:49:38,013 --> 00:49:39,373
Speaker 7: So I'd go and tell her, look, when you're on

984
00:49:39,453 --> 00:49:41,973
Speaker 7: the phone, just go move somewhere and sit in the sun.

985
00:49:42,213 --> 00:49:43,693
Speaker 7: Don't sit in the same place with you.

986
00:49:45,093 --> 00:49:48,772
Speaker 3: Very interesting. Were you ever worried if if it blew

987
00:49:48,853 --> 00:49:50,613
Speaker 3: up while you were still working together, that it was

988
00:49:50,693 --> 00:49:51,773
Speaker 3: going to get pretty.

989
00:49:51,533 --> 00:49:54,733
Speaker 7: Awkward because the way I look if I lost my

990
00:49:54,893 --> 00:49:57,772
Speaker 7: parents and I grew up in shitty you know, well

991
00:49:57,813 --> 00:49:59,533
Speaker 7: for your care and all that. So I had a

992
00:49:59,573 --> 00:50:03,493
Speaker 7: pretty hard life. But I learned from that that before

993
00:50:03,573 --> 00:50:06,573
Speaker 7: you can truly love someone, you have to learn to

994
00:50:06,733 --> 00:50:09,493
Speaker 7: love the things you hate about the first and if

995
00:50:09,533 --> 00:50:12,733
Speaker 7: you can do that, then you will truly love that person.

996
00:50:13,413 --> 00:50:14,613
Speaker 2: Yes, good on you, Steve.

997
00:50:15,773 --> 00:50:18,533
Speaker 7: People use words too cheaply nowadays, like they go, I

998
00:50:18,653 --> 00:50:20,893
Speaker 7: love you and all that. They really don't because they

999
00:50:20,933 --> 00:50:24,773
Speaker 7: don't know that much about each other. So wouldn't they

1000
00:50:24,773 --> 00:50:28,573
Speaker 7: get married? Most marriages only last two years now, you

1001
00:50:28,653 --> 00:50:29,453
Speaker 7: know that's silly.

1002
00:50:29,733 --> 00:50:33,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, very true, and that a lot of young people,

1003
00:50:33,213 --> 00:50:36,692
Speaker 3: you know. Well, Steve, thank you very much for giving

00:50:41,453 --> 00:50:44,813
Speaker 3: the wife anymore, but they get on better than they

Speaker 2: He started it up to her and he says, he says,

1012

1087
00:54:07,413 --> 00:54:09,292
Speaker 21: as it was an off us work was a place

1088
00:54:09,373 --> 00:54:09,692
Speaker 21: to love.

1089
00:54:09,773 --> 00:54:13,853
Speaker 2: Lord, what kind of business was this hotbed of romance?

1090
00:54:14,573 --> 00:54:15,253
Speaker 21: A stockpom?

1091
00:54:16,213 --> 00:54:16,373
Speaker 18: Right?

1092
00:54:16,493 --> 00:54:19,212
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so this would have been I'm just doing

1093
00:54:19,253 --> 00:54:24,613
Speaker 2: my mask with this being the late sixties, sixty eight,

1094
00:54:25,413 --> 00:54:28,893
Speaker 2: we got married and was that was that? Because you know,

1095
00:54:29,453 --> 00:54:32,933
Speaker 2: nowadays people are sort of throwing around warnings about dating

1096
00:54:33,013 --> 00:54:37,213
Speaker 2: people in workplaces. Was that a consideration back then or

1097
00:54:37,293 --> 00:54:39,053
Speaker 2: was it just expected that if you met someone at

1098
00:54:39,093 --> 00:54:40,453
Speaker 2: work that was fine, asked them out on a date.

1099
00:54:41,133 --> 00:54:43,013
Speaker 21: We never sort of think anything about it, you know,

1100
00:54:43,173 --> 00:54:46,093
Speaker 21: one or two sort of oh, she's gone out with him,

1101
00:54:46,133 --> 00:54:50,013
Speaker 21: and you know it never made any difference to our work.

1102
00:54:50,293 --> 00:54:53,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about a boss boss junior relationship? Did that

1103
00:54:53,253 --> 00:54:54,692
Speaker 3: raise eyebrows? Or that was all good too?

1104
00:54:54,893 --> 00:54:57,613
Speaker 21: Well, we had a big general manager and an accountant.

1105
00:54:58,693 --> 00:55:01,973
Speaker 21: I was on the accounts and my husband and husband

1106

00:55:13,413 --> 00:55:14,853
Speaker 21: went back to work on Monday morning.

00:55:15,053 --> 00:55:17,413
Speaker 2: Who made the first Who made the first move? Elaine?

1112
00:55:19,093 --> 00:55:20,973
Speaker 21: Who made the first move? I think he would have.

1113
00:55:21,253 --> 00:55:23,413
Speaker 2: He came up with some grain and poured it on

1114

Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Rayla Lean And we're talking about

1168
00:58:09,373 --> 00:58:13,013
Speaker 3: office relationships. Do they ever work? Are they a bit

1169
00:58:13,053 --> 00:58:17,013
Speaker 3: of a minefield? I think I am in the minority

1170
00:58:17,093 --> 00:58:19,733
Speaker 3: here when I say they are a bad idea. Most

1171
00:58:19,773 --> 00:58:21,173
Speaker 3: people are coming through and saying.

1172
00:58:21,173 --> 00:58:23,733
Speaker 2: That's just because no one's interested in your tyre. Yeah,

1176
00:58:34,293 --> 00:58:36,133
Speaker 21: Work, Yeah, I did.

1177
00:58:36,573 --> 00:58:38,093
Speaker 25: We were kind of the same level and we just

1178
00:58:38,173 --> 00:58:41,893
Speaker 25: became friends and yeah, we got married fantastic.

1179
00:58:42,013 --> 00:58:44,133
Speaker 3: And so tell us a story. What was I mean,

1180
00:58:44,213 --> 00:58:46,253
Speaker 3: don't say the actual place of work, but you could

1181
00:58:46,253 --> 00:58:47,013
Speaker 3: say that industry.

1182
00:58:48,853 --> 00:58:53,493
Speaker 25: We were in food manufacturing and yeah, he was in

1183
00:58:53,573 --> 00:58:56,533
Speaker 25: supply chain and I was in marketing and yeah, and

1184
00:58:56,653 --> 00:58:59,253
Speaker 25: no one really knew about it until the Christmas party,

1185
00:58:59,333 --> 00:59:01,733
Speaker 25: and that's when we decided to kind of make it

1186
00:59:01,853 --> 00:59:02,573
Speaker 25: semi public.

1187
00:59:03,373 --> 00:59:06,333
Speaker 2: And as I said to alayin us to the same question,

1188
00:59:06,453 --> 00:59:07,453
Speaker 2: who made the first move?

1189
00:59:07,573 --> 00:59:11,893
Speaker 25: Jin Oh, I think he did. We used to have

1190
00:59:12,013 --> 00:59:15,053
Speaker 25: lunch together every day, so it was just the organic thing.

1191
00:59:15,613 --> 00:59:16,093
Speaker 10: Yeah, I.

1192
00:59:17,893 --> 00:59:20,773
Speaker 2: Oh, sorry, So I actually.

1193
00:59:20,573 --> 00:59:23,213
Speaker 25: Marry couples and probably about thirty percent of the couples

1194
00:59:23,253 --> 00:59:26,893
Speaker 25: I marry meet at work quite a lot still through Tinder,

1195
00:59:27,573 --> 00:59:32,213
Speaker 25: And it was interesting reflecting back, like the police and

1196
00:59:32,453 --> 00:59:35,373
Speaker 25: medical teams. I seem to marry a lot of people

1197
00:59:35,413 --> 00:59:37,653
Speaker 25: that seem to meet at work from those industries.

1198
00:59:38,133 --> 00:59:40,693
Speaker 2: Oh okay, a police and medical teams. I wonderful. Like

1199
00:59:40,933 --> 00:59:43,693
Speaker 2: you're buddied up in an ambulance. Sorry, I'll get complaints

1200
00:59:44,253 --> 00:59:47,933
Speaker 2: of my pronunciation my south south some pronunciation ambu lance ambulance.

1201
00:59:48,413 --> 00:59:48,613
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1202
00:59:48,693 --> 00:59:50,493
Speaker 2: That it's interesting when you say thirty percent of couples,

1203
00:59:50,533 --> 00:59:52,973
Speaker 2: because I read a study out of America and it

1204
00:59:53,053 --> 00:59:55,933
Speaker 2: was saying about that number was still the amount of

1205
00:59:55,973 --> 01:00:00,893
Speaker 2: people meeting at work. So thirty percent, it's a that's

1206
01:00:00,933 --> 01:00:01,653
Speaker 2: a large amount.

1207
01:00:02,653 --> 01:00:05,013
Speaker 25: And I wondered if it's those kind of industries because

1208
01:00:05,173 --> 01:00:09,613
Speaker 25: either of the night shift style or quite high stress,

1209
01:00:09,893 --> 01:00:14,133
Speaker 25: and maybe they don't have opportunities to meet or can't

1210
01:00:14,173 --> 01:00:19,053
Speaker 25: relate as easily to others, or feel protective against their jobs.

1211
01:00:19,093 --> 01:00:19,733
Speaker 25: I'm not quite sure.

1212
01:00:20,373 --> 01:00:22,573
Speaker 2: What do you think is more healthy from your perspective.

1213
01:00:22,573 --> 01:00:24,773
Speaker 2: ASM a wedding celebrant and you know, talk to the

1214
01:00:24,813 --> 01:00:27,613
Speaker 2: couples before they get married and such. Do you think

1215
01:00:27,693 --> 01:00:30,213
Speaker 2: it's more healthy to meet at work or on the

1216
01:00:30,333 --> 01:00:30,893
Speaker 2: dating apps.

1217
01:00:32,413 --> 01:00:34,413
Speaker 25: I don't think it really matters. I think as long

1218
01:00:34,453 --> 01:00:38,453
Speaker 25: as you know, you've got good communication and you're committed

1219
01:00:38,493 --> 01:00:40,813
Speaker 25: to each other, and it doesn't really matter how you meet.

1220
01:00:41,733 --> 01:00:43,573
Speaker 2: As a celebrant, do you check in down the track?

1221
01:00:43,653 --> 01:00:46,653
Speaker 2: Do you keep an eye on how the relationships are going,

1222
01:00:46,733 --> 01:00:47,693
Speaker 2: whether they're still going.

1223
01:00:48,733 --> 01:00:49,653
Speaker 19: Yeah, some couples.

1224
01:00:49,733 --> 01:00:53,573
Speaker 25: I probably have just had one couple just recently fast

1225
01:00:53,893 --> 01:00:56,373
Speaker 25: for separation, which was a little bit sad because I

1226
01:00:56,493 --> 01:00:58,813
Speaker 25: really loved them and they'd been together a long time.

1227
01:00:58,893 --> 01:01:00,893
Speaker 25: But most of my couples are still together and I've

1228
01:01:00,893 --> 01:01:03,733
Speaker 25: been doing about five years. So thinker's crossed.

1229
01:01:03,973 --> 01:01:06,613
Speaker 3: It's great. And so you mentioned so thirty percent roughly

1230
01:01:06,773 --> 01:01:09,213
Speaker 3: that meet at work what hasercentage would meet on the

1231
01:01:09,293 --> 01:01:10,013
Speaker 3: dating app.

1232
01:01:11,133 --> 01:01:16,253
Speaker 25: Are Yeah, over fifty right, Yeah, it's really it's still

1233
01:01:16,293 --> 01:01:20,333
Speaker 25: really high. And interestingly, the stigma of telling people you

1234
01:01:20,413 --> 01:01:23,053
Speaker 25: met on Tinder has changed as well. People are a

1235
01:01:23,133 --> 01:01:26,213
Speaker 25: lot more open to others knowing they met on Tinder,

1236
01:01:26,213 --> 01:01:29,053
Speaker 25: where it's probably a couple of years ago they didn't

1237
01:01:29,053 --> 01:01:30,573
Speaker 25: want people to know they met by tender.

1238
01:01:32,373 --> 01:01:34,253
Speaker 2: Oh thanks so much for your insights there.

1239
01:01:34,493 --> 01:01:37,213
Speaker 3: Gen thirty percent. That is way higher than I would

1240
01:01:37,213 --> 01:01:37,573
Speaker 3: have thought.

1241
01:01:37,693 --> 01:01:39,853
Speaker 2: I would say, and Gen can't tell it, tell me

1242
01:01:39,933 --> 01:01:41,653
Speaker 2: that's she said that the same. But I would say, like,

1243
01:01:41,693 --> 01:01:43,973
Speaker 2: if you've met someone at work and you start going

1244
01:01:44,013 --> 01:01:45,453
Speaker 2: out for lunch with them, you spending with a time,

1245
01:01:45,533 --> 01:01:48,653
Speaker 2: you see them under precious situations, you know, over a

1246
01:01:48,733 --> 01:01:51,373
Speaker 2: long period of time, the love grows. Yes, then that's

1247
01:01:51,413 --> 01:01:54,453
Speaker 2: more likely to last than a couple of dates on

1248
01:01:54,613 --> 01:01:58,093
Speaker 2: Tinder where you're just a superficial back and forth and

1249
01:01:58,133 --> 01:02:00,133
Speaker 2: then euroys trying to impress each other because if you

1250
01:02:00,373 --> 01:02:03,173
Speaker 2: if you, you know, like in friend groups and stuff,

1251
01:02:03,173 --> 01:02:05,893
Speaker 2: aren't an't the best relationships the ones where people meet

1252
01:02:05,973 --> 01:02:09,413
Speaker 2: in friend groups and then slide aids into something else

1253
01:02:09,733 --> 01:02:14,613
Speaker 2: one drunken evening, you'll tell them the story. I don't know,

1254
01:02:14,773 --> 01:02:16,733
Speaker 2: you know what, you know what I mean? It seems

1255
01:02:16,733 --> 01:02:19,933
Speaker 2: to me it would be a more organic way to meet.

1256
01:02:20,093 --> 01:02:22,173
Speaker 2: So look, I'm going all in on I think one

1257
01:02:22,213 --> 01:02:25,133
Speaker 2: hundred percent. Well, you're anti them on prom.

1258
01:02:25,053 --> 01:02:27,253
Speaker 3: Well, like Jen Saige, you know they were having lunch

1259
01:02:27,333 --> 01:02:29,533
Speaker 3: together and clearly we're friends before they took it the

1260
01:02:29,613 --> 01:02:33,613
Speaker 3: next steps. So yeah, maybe, but then there's text like

1261
01:02:33,693 --> 01:02:36,493
Speaker 3: this one guys, love the show. On the large farm

1262
01:02:37,093 --> 01:02:39,293
Speaker 3: we were on, the boss had the rule don't screw

1263
01:02:39,373 --> 01:02:41,173
Speaker 3: the crew. If you were caught then you had to

1264
01:02:41,293 --> 01:02:43,493
Speaker 3: move into one of the rooms together, as the space

1265
01:02:43,653 --> 01:02:46,133
Speaker 3: was tight. As far as I know, there have been

1266
01:02:46,213 --> 01:02:49,173
Speaker 3: at least eight couples to marry after meeting on the farm.

1267
01:02:49,253 --> 01:02:51,613
Speaker 3: My wife and I was one of them. It was

1268
01:02:51,693 --> 01:02:53,653
Speaker 3: our own little shortening Street. I thought that was back

1269
01:02:53,693 --> 01:02:55,373
Speaker 3: in me, but clearly it wasn't. Clearly it worked on

1270
01:02:55,413 --> 01:02:56,133
Speaker 3: the farm as well.

1271
01:02:56,693 --> 01:02:59,213
Speaker 2: The six says I own a small consultancy firm of

1272
01:02:59,293 --> 01:03:02,653
Speaker 2: eight staff, which now includes two married couples. See, you're

1273
01:03:02,733 --> 01:03:04,613
Speaker 2: up against it. This is where everyone's work.

1274
01:03:04,693 --> 01:03:05,733
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm digging in.

1275
01:03:05,853 --> 01:03:07,173
Speaker 2: Where else are you going to meet people?

1276
01:03:07,333 --> 01:03:07,493
Speaker 26: You know?

1277
01:03:07,693 --> 01:03:08,253
Speaker 2: What about friends?

1278
01:03:08,413 --> 01:03:11,973
Speaker 3: Friends, a bar, a bar, farmers market.

1279
01:03:12,093 --> 01:03:14,413
Speaker 2: I've talked to people. I've talked to mate who owns

1280
01:03:14,413 --> 01:03:16,693
Speaker 2: a bar, and he said, because of the dating apps,

1281
01:03:16,733 --> 01:03:20,293
Speaker 2: people don't meet each other at bars anymore. They don't

1282
01:03:20,333 --> 01:03:22,973
Speaker 2: go up and talk. Everyone's just isolated in their little groups. Yeah,

1283
01:03:23,013 --> 01:03:26,093
Speaker 2: there's no one sidling up anymore and go drink.

1284
01:03:27,733 --> 01:03:30,373
Speaker 3: Well, they should be drink, particularly if they say it

1285
01:03:30,493 --> 01:03:30,613
Speaker 3: like that.

1286
01:03:30,773 --> 01:03:32,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you've got me it's been years since

1287
01:03:32,773 --> 01:03:33,733

1298
01:04:00,893 --> 01:04:03,373
Speaker 2: The six says such bs Matt I met my partner

1299
01:04:03,413 --> 01:04:05,053
Speaker 2: of five years on the apps and we had our

1300
01:04:05,093 --> 01:04:07,093
Speaker 2: initial meat up at a bar, and still to this

1301
01:04:07,253 --> 01:04:09,093
Speaker 2: day we go to bars. No, that's not what I

1302
01:04:09,173 --> 01:04:12,053
Speaker 2: was saying text. I was saying that just the casual,

1303
01:04:12,613 --> 01:04:17,053
Speaker 2: not already organized date from an app. But they're just

1304
01:04:17,333 --> 01:04:19,973
Speaker 2: going out for a night out and then just getting

1305
01:04:20,013 --> 01:04:21,853
Speaker 2: to know someone when you're out is less common. According

1306
01:04:21,853 --> 01:04:24,133
Speaker 2: to my friend owns a bar, the cold approach, yeah,

1307
01:04:24,373 --> 01:04:27,173
Speaker 2: and the tender dates are just you know, bars are

1308
01:04:27,173 --> 01:04:29,373
Speaker 2: absolutely infested with awkward tender dates.

1309
01:04:29,493 --> 01:04:31,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would say the cold approach in a

1310
01:04:31,413 --> 01:04:34,613
Speaker 3: bar that would be maybe not considered creepy, but that

1311
01:04:34,853 --> 01:04:36,733
Speaker 3: is the element of play, if you know, as a guy,

1312
01:04:36,853 --> 01:04:38,933
Speaker 3: I think of you, and I'm not single at the moment,

1313
01:04:39,333 --> 01:04:41,853
Speaker 3: but what I mean at the moment that's that's not

1314
01:04:42,493 --> 01:04:46,413
Speaker 3: very happily in a relationship and she is the love

1315
01:04:46,493 --> 01:04:46,973
Speaker 3: of my life.

1316
01:04:47,053 --> 01:04:50,693
Speaker 2: But it sounds very close to my current girlfriend. I

1317
01:04:50,813 --> 01:04:53,173
Speaker 2: should worry about that. I'm not single at the.

1318
01:04:53,213 --> 01:04:58,493
Speaker 3: Moment, but going back to my single days and there

1319
01:04:58,613 --> 01:05:00,613
Speaker 3: was still and I think it's even harder now that

1320
01:05:00,733 --> 01:05:03,373
Speaker 3: there's just in the back of guys, primarily guy's brain

1321
01:05:03,413 --> 01:05:04,973
Speaker 3: where I'm going to be a creep if I go

1322
01:05:05,093 --> 01:05:07,293
Speaker 3: up and just say hi, can I buy your drink?

1323
01:05:07,853 --> 01:05:09,853
Speaker 3: Is that pushed behavior element to it now?

1324
01:05:10,213 --> 01:05:10,413
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1325
01:05:10,573 --> 01:05:12,893
Speaker 2: Whereas it used to be a gentlemanly way that you

1326
01:05:12,933 --> 01:05:14,893
Speaker 2: could do it right, Yeah, there's probably still as a

1327
01:05:14,933 --> 01:05:17,293
Speaker 2: gentlemanly way you can do it, you know, you know,

1328
01:05:17,493 --> 01:05:21,533
Speaker 2: if you swave enough and you're just friendly and not

1329
01:05:21,933 --> 01:05:24,373
Speaker 2: I mean, there's definitely waited Hi, boys, enjoying your show.

1330
01:05:24,453 --> 01:05:26,733
Speaker 2: I went to work for my partner after he offered

1331
01:05:26,773 --> 01:05:29,493
Speaker 2: me a job. When I wandered into his place of work,

1332
01:05:29,573 --> 01:05:32,373
Speaker 2: one day I did not know him. It was opportune.

1333
01:05:32,693 --> 01:05:35,613
Speaker 2: Forty years later, forty years and two children later, we're

1334
01:05:35,613 --> 01:05:36,333
Speaker 2: still happy together.

1335
01:05:36,493 --> 01:05:39,333
Speaker 3: That is a good story. But also, you know, smooth move. Yeah,

1336
01:05:39,453 --> 01:05:43,533
Speaker 3: offer a job and see where it goes. Yeah, I mean,

1337
01:05:43,533 --> 01:05:46,053
Speaker 3: as long as you don't offer the job on the proviso,

1338
01:05:46,293 --> 01:05:48,053
Speaker 3: if you know what I'm saying. Yeah, no strings attached.

1339
01:05:48,133 --> 01:05:50,213
Speaker 2: Yeah, good agents. Here's a shout out to those of

1340
01:05:50,333 --> 01:05:52,653
Speaker 2: us who were enjoying married life, but our husbands or

1341
01:05:52,693 --> 01:05:55,213
Speaker 2: wives trade us up for someone they met at work.

1342
01:05:55,413 --> 01:05:59,373
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh okay, I mean that that is a problem. Yeah, Mike,

1343
01:05:59,773 --> 01:06:00,373
Speaker 2: welcome to the show.

1344
01:06:01,653 --> 01:06:06,133
Speaker 11: Yeah, hi, guys, you're fifteen years ago. I got a

1345
01:06:06,253 --> 01:06:10,173
Speaker 11: job at a quite a large property management company dealing

1346
01:06:10,253 --> 01:06:14,533
Speaker 11: in residential rentals, and my role was assistant property manager,

1347
01:06:15,333 --> 01:06:21,173
Speaker 11: or basically, I was a PA for ten female property managers.

1348
01:06:21,333 --> 01:06:22,973
Speaker 11: They all had about one hundred and twenty hundred and

1349
01:06:23,013 --> 01:06:26,453
Speaker 11: thirty properties each, and my job basically was to keep

1350
01:06:26,813 --> 01:06:31,533
Speaker 11: all ten of them happy. And so I would all day,

1351
01:06:31,693 --> 01:06:34,493
Speaker 11: every day, I'd jump between all ten of them and

1352
01:06:34,493 --> 01:06:36,693
Speaker 11: they'd go go here, go to this property, do this,

1353
01:06:37,013 --> 01:06:39,973
Speaker 11: fill out this application, go to this court hearing, and

1354
01:06:40,053 --> 01:06:43,493
Speaker 11: all the rest of it. And when you're trying to

1355
01:06:43,533 --> 01:06:47,013
Speaker 11: be professional and you're trying to keep ten women happy,

1356
01:06:48,933 --> 01:06:53,453
Speaker 11: quite often sometimes after a few months, you do detect

1357
01:06:53,493 --> 01:06:56,893
Speaker 11: a few signals, but in the name of professionalism, you

1358
01:06:57,053 --> 01:07:00,013
Speaker 11: just have to ignore it when you're in that sort

1359
01:07:00,053 --> 01:07:03,893
Speaker 11: of situation. But yeah, I really did love the job,

1360
01:07:04,453 --> 01:07:09,013
Speaker 11: and it was all about service and being yeah, servitude

1361
01:07:09,573 --> 01:07:10,813
Speaker 11: to these women and.

1362
01:07:17,573 --> 01:07:20,133
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well the thing is, things, Michael, would have

1363
01:07:20,173 --> 01:07:22,813
Speaker 2: been a disaster. So you date one didn't work out,

1364
01:07:22,853 --> 01:07:24,653
Speaker 2: then another, and by the time you have dated three

1365
01:07:24,733 --> 01:07:27,773
Speaker 2: of those ten people in your workplace, you had been

1366
01:07:28,053 --> 01:07:31,533
Speaker 2: in a very very difficult position, I imagine.

1367
01:07:32,813 --> 01:07:33,013
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1368
01:07:33,093 --> 01:07:37,573
Speaker 11: No, I affectionately friendly, loved them all, and I enjoyed

1369
01:07:37,613 --> 01:07:39,853
Speaker 11: it so much. And at one stage I thought, mate,

1370
01:07:40,773 --> 01:07:42,613
Speaker 11: if I was in my coffin at my funeral, I

1371
01:07:42,813 --> 01:07:45,173
Speaker 11: still crawl crawled back out to get back to the

1372
01:07:45,293 --> 01:07:48,333
Speaker 11: office to serve those two women. Yeah, it was a

1373
01:07:48,413 --> 01:07:49,133
Speaker 11: great experience.

1374
01:07:49,373 --> 01:07:51,053
Speaker 3: Why why did you finish up the job, Mike?

1375
01:07:52,733 --> 01:07:53,413
Speaker 10: I can't remember.

1376
01:07:53,533 --> 01:07:58,013
Speaker 11: Things changed, they sold the company, Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah,

1377
01:07:58,253 --> 01:08:00,373
Speaker 11: and I wanted to move on. I mean, yeah, yeah,

1378
01:08:00,853 --> 01:08:03,173
Speaker 11: assistant property manager, you know you want to you want

1379
01:08:03,213 --> 01:08:04,493
Speaker 11: to move up and become a full one.

1380
01:08:05,133 --> 01:08:09,253
Speaker 2: And yeah, whether you go, Mike would have I would

1381
01:08:09,333 --> 01:08:11,733
Speaker 2: crawl out of his coffin to live in servitude to

1382
01:08:11,773 --> 01:08:12,373
Speaker 2: those teen women.

1383
01:08:12,533 --> 01:08:15,813
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, a great story. It's very interesting turn of phrases, but.

1384
01:08:15,933 --> 01:08:19,253
Speaker 2: Very proficionally and plutonically romantic in a way.

1385
01:08:19,333 --> 01:08:20,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, very good, Mike.

1386
01:08:20,733 --> 01:08:21,973
Speaker 2: Kind of a horrific image as well.

1387
01:08:22,532 --> 01:08:25,412
Speaker 3: You're the beast of us. David, how are you.

1388
01:08:27,293 --> 01:08:27,452
Speaker 26: Good?

Speaker 18: Thanks Matt, first time caller for the third time.

Speaker 3: Mister likewise David, David, and.

1391
01:08:34,412 --> 01:08:36,333
Speaker 18: May I just say, Matt, I read your book and

1392
01:08:36,492 --> 01:08:39,133
Speaker 18: I was so impressed. I loved it. I'm going to

1393
01:08:39,173 --> 01:08:42,452
Speaker 18: read it again. There's so many insights that I didn't

1394
01:08:42,492 --> 01:08:43,532
Speaker 18: think you were capable of.

1395
01:08:44,692 --> 01:08:45,372
Speaker 3: It is a surprise.

1396
01:08:46,372 --> 01:08:47,492
Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you for saying it.

1397
01:08:47,652 --> 01:08:49,772
Speaker 5: David, amazed.

1398
01:08:50,013 --> 01:08:52,852
Speaker 18: And what I'd like to talk about is I kissed

1399
01:08:52,853 --> 01:08:54,812
Speaker 18: a lot of want to be princesses in my time,

1400
01:08:54,893 --> 01:08:57,452
Speaker 18: and then I gave up said no, I'm not doing

1401
01:08:57,492 --> 01:08:59,532
Speaker 18: this anymore. And as soon as I did that, I

1402
01:08:59,732 --> 01:09:04,333
Speaker 18: saw my now wife at work, and because I was

1403
01:09:04,372 --> 01:09:08,612
Speaker 18: a manager and she was a team leader to be

1404
01:09:08,812 --> 01:09:12,053
Speaker 18: very careful about my advances, so it wasn't seen like

1405
01:09:12,492 --> 01:09:16,333
Speaker 18: you know, a bit creepy, So I said, would you

1406
01:09:16,532 --> 01:09:18,372
Speaker 18: like to come around to my apartment and help me

1407
01:09:18,492 --> 01:09:22,572
Speaker 18: choose some some cushions, And remarkably she felt for that

1408
01:09:22,772 --> 01:09:24,293
Speaker 18: some cushion.

1409
01:09:24,253 --> 01:09:26,452
Speaker 2: Some cushion cushions. Smooth, David Smooth.

1410
01:09:27,973 --> 01:09:30,372
Speaker 18: I thought women were really good at interior design and

1411
01:09:30,452 --> 01:09:33,452
Speaker 18: turns out to ambassad But anyway, she said yes, And

1412
01:09:34,333 --> 01:09:37,812
Speaker 18: as it as the relationship developed, I was very careful

1413
01:09:38,013 --> 01:09:41,173
Speaker 18: to go to my boss, who's the CEO, and say, look,

1414
01:09:41,532 --> 01:09:44,652
Speaker 18: I've got a potential conflict of interest because I'm developing

1415
01:09:44,732 --> 01:09:48,013
Speaker 18: a relationship with this person who's now my wife. Now,

1416
01:09:48,093 --> 01:09:53,852
Speaker 18: the complicating part was that hair boss was my work wife,

1417
01:09:53,893 --> 01:09:55,812
Speaker 18: So in work I had two wives. I had my

1418
01:09:55,893 --> 01:09:58,293
Speaker 18: work wife and my actual wife, and my work wife

1419
01:09:59,532 --> 01:10:02,692
Speaker 18: was the boss of my actual wife, and that added

1420
01:10:02,732 --> 01:10:07,893
Speaker 18: a father layer of complexity to how we all interacted

1421
01:10:07,973 --> 01:10:10,492
Speaker 18: in work. Since then, my work wife and I have

1422
01:10:11,173 --> 01:10:14,253
Speaker 18: actually both retired to my actual wife still works in

1423
01:10:14,492 --> 01:10:17,772
Speaker 18: the organization. But I thought we handled it very very

1424
01:10:17,853 --> 01:10:20,532
Speaker 18: well because we were up front. The only part I

1425
01:10:20,612 --> 01:10:22,333
Speaker 18: didn't like is in work, you would think I was

1426
01:10:22,412 --> 01:10:24,612
Speaker 18: her biggest enemy because shouldn't even look at me or

1427
01:10:24,732 --> 01:10:25,173
Speaker 18: talk to me.

1428
01:10:28,053 --> 01:10:30,492
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like when you're umpiring your kids cricket game,

1429
01:10:30,532 --> 01:10:32,852
Speaker 2: they will in their bowling they will never get an LBW.

1430
01:10:33,692 --> 01:10:39,253
Speaker 27: It's the same player of the day, go too far,

1431
01:10:42,652 --> 01:10:43,732
Speaker 27: enjoy your show, guys, and.

1432
01:10:44,333 --> 01:10:46,532
Speaker 18: Don't get a chance offen to ring him.

1433
01:10:46,572 --> 01:10:49,372
Speaker 2: But thanks for tech Nicole, Yeah me, David, and thank

1434
01:10:49,372 --> 01:10:51,452
Speaker 2: you for your kind words about my book. Are lifeless,

1435
01:10:51,492 --> 01:10:57,293
Speaker 2: punishing Thirteen ways to love the life. You've got interrible ones.

1436
01:10:59,492 --> 01:11:01,772
Speaker 3: Some great Diggs cabin through on nine two nine two.

1437
01:11:02,093 --> 01:11:03,732
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I worked at in New Zealand for twenty

1438
01:11:03,853 --> 01:11:08,652
Speaker 2: years as an international flight detainate. Well famously famously promiscuous situation.

1439
01:11:08,772 --> 01:11:10,492
Speaker 2: If you go back to the early jet set days,

1440
01:11:11,293 --> 01:11:14,013
Speaker 2: I met and dated another flight attendant. We then got

1441
01:11:14,133 --> 01:11:16,333
Speaker 2: married and have been together for thirty years. In New

1442
01:11:16,412 --> 01:11:19,372
Speaker 2: Zealand had a program called Spouse Alert where couples married

1443
01:11:19,452 --> 01:11:22,452
Speaker 2: or dating could be rostered all their trips together.

1444
01:11:22,853 --> 01:11:23,053
Speaker 10: Wow.

1445
01:11:23,173 --> 01:11:24,852
Speaker 2: See that's the opposite of what people are doing now.

1446
01:11:24,893 --> 01:11:27,012
Speaker 2: Company is trying to shut down this romance. They're trying

1447
01:11:27,013 --> 01:11:29,093
Speaker 2: to kill it. But back then in New Zealand was

1448
01:11:29,333 --> 01:11:31,892
Speaker 2: rostering people together. It was truly awesome time of our

1449
01:11:31,933 --> 01:11:34,052
Speaker 2: lives as we traveled the world on the company's sickness

1450
01:11:34,173 --> 01:11:37,652
Speaker 2: rate with pretty much non existent. For those similar colleagues

1451
01:11:38,013 --> 01:11:40,052
Speaker 2: on a sickness rate that was pretty much non existent,

1452
01:11:40,093 --> 01:11:42,013
Speaker 2: so they basically never was sick because they wanted to

1453
01:11:42,013 --> 01:11:45,493
Speaker 2: hang out with each other each other regards Andy.

1454
01:11:45,333 --> 01:11:46,772
Speaker 3: That's a lesson, isn't it for companies?

1455
01:11:47,013 --> 01:11:49,133
Speaker 2: Well? Those two, Yeah, it is, isn't it? So you

1456
01:11:49,213 --> 01:11:52,892
Speaker 2: know me, let the love flow? Is that a sing?

1457
01:11:53,093 --> 01:11:53,253
Speaker 10: Yeah?

1458
01:11:54,532 --> 01:11:58,452
Speaker 2: Sounds a bit weird, but like, you know, like there

1459
01:11:58,532 --> 01:12:00,412
Speaker 2: is a different kind of situation there. When I first

1460
01:12:00,452 --> 01:12:03,732
Speaker 2: heard that flight attendant because there's I know a friend.

1461
01:12:03,812 --> 01:12:05,732
Speaker 2: I've got a friend who's a flight attendant, and she

1462
01:12:05,973 --> 01:12:10,452
Speaker 2: was telling me that there's saying when when a flight

1463
01:12:10,492 --> 01:12:11,612
Speaker 2: attendant sleeps with one.

1464
01:12:11,532 --> 01:12:12,212
Speaker 5: Of the pilots.

1465
01:12:12,253 --> 01:12:13,532
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what's what's the phrase?

1466
01:12:13,532 --> 01:12:16,492
Speaker 2: It's called getting your stripes. That's what she told me.

1467
01:12:17,253 --> 01:12:18,013
Speaker 2: That's what you told me.

1468
01:12:18,333 --> 01:12:19,692
Speaker 3: I could see that. You know that fits.

1469
01:12:19,772 --> 01:12:21,892
Speaker 2: That's not flight attendant flight in it. That's flight attendant

1470
01:12:21,933 --> 01:12:23,532
Speaker 2: pilot getting your stripe, your.

1471
01:12:23,452 --> 01:12:27,612
Speaker 3: Stripes the works. One hundred and eighty ten eighty is

1472
01:12:27,692 --> 01:12:29,572
Speaker 3: the number to call. There's a couple of ticks coming

1473
01:12:29,572 --> 01:12:33,093
Speaker 3: through from flight attendants. Actually, this one from anonymous Hi guys.

1474
01:12:33,133 --> 01:12:34,732
Speaker 3: I used to fly long haul for in New Zealand,

1475
01:12:34,732 --> 01:12:37,732
Speaker 3: and what goes on overseas stays overseas. I simply got

1476
01:12:37,772 --> 01:12:38,213
Speaker 3: my stripes.

1477
01:12:38,333 --> 01:12:41,932
Speaker 2: You great, great fun? Well done? Yeah, okay, right, good stuff.

1478
01:12:43,492 --> 01:12:44,213

Speaker 3: we're talking about office romances. Are they a good idea?

1485
01:13:03,893 --> 01:13:05,213
Speaker 3: I think we can put that one to bed now.

1486
01:13:05,532 --> 01:13:07,652

1497
01:13:36,093 --> 01:13:39,732
Speaker 2: we're getting a lot through here. Hey, yes, I dated

1498
01:13:39,853 --> 01:13:42,092
Speaker 2: now married a coworker, but yes, it did cause issues

1499
01:13:42,093 --> 01:13:43,973
Speaker 2: at work. However, we both left the job and have

1500
01:13:44,173 --> 01:13:45,253
Speaker 2: been married for twenty years.

1501
01:13:45,333 --> 01:13:45,532
Speaker 7: Thanks.

1502
01:13:45,732 --> 01:13:47,333
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that thing now that people are

1503
01:13:48,013 --> 01:13:50,253
Speaker 2: you know, obsessed with, and you know, I don't necessarily

1504
01:13:50,253 --> 01:13:52,812
Speaker 2: agree with it, but it's you know, status levels. You know,

1505
01:13:52,853 --> 01:13:55,452
Speaker 2: if someone's high up in the company and someone's lower down.

1506
01:13:55,772 --> 01:13:58,173
Speaker 2: They talk about power relationships, but you know, I mean power.

1507
01:13:58,532 --> 01:14:00,093
Speaker 2: There's a lot of different types of power in the world. Now,

1508
01:14:00,093 --> 01:14:01,452
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into it. I wonder if

1509
01:14:01,492 --> 01:14:03,972
Speaker 2: there's ever been a CEO that's busted them sound down

1510
01:14:04,013 --> 01:14:06,173
Speaker 2: to the mailroom to be with the woman. He laughs.

1511
01:14:06,253 --> 01:14:08,572
Speaker 3: I'm sure there has. There must have been, so it's

1512
01:14:08,612 --> 01:14:09,253
Speaker 3: a love story.

1513
01:14:09,133 --> 01:14:12,293
Speaker 2: You see, I meet someone in middle management, bust yourself

1514
01:14:12,372 --> 01:14:14,812
Speaker 2: down to I know there aren't mail rooms anymore, but

1515
01:14:14,973 --> 01:14:15,612
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

1516
01:14:16,933 --> 01:14:19,973
Speaker 3: This one from Catherine Guys. Back in the nineties at

1517
01:14:19,973 --> 01:14:22,972
Speaker 3: the christ Church casino, you had to declare any staff

1518
01:14:23,013 --> 01:14:26,772
Speaker 3: relationship to your manager. It was incredibly embarrassing. Thank you.

1519
01:14:27,253 --> 01:14:29,772
Speaker 3: So clearly she had an office romance, I.

1520
01:14:29,812 --> 01:14:33,452
Speaker 2: Mean and casinos. I wonder if there's something around you,

1521
01:14:33,612 --> 01:14:38,612
Speaker 2: I know, the the whole heist thing. I don't know. Yeah,

1522
01:14:39,973 --> 01:14:42,173
Speaker 2: I mean, as an employer, would you hire a couple

1523
01:14:42,293 --> 01:14:44,933
Speaker 2: who perfectly fit the bill? Yeah, I mean that's a

1524
01:14:44,973 --> 01:14:49,772
Speaker 2: good thing. So before before you know, the office relationship

1525
01:14:49,812 --> 01:14:51,692
Speaker 2: isn't starting there, But you just hire in a bunch

1526
01:14:51,732 --> 01:14:54,012
Speaker 2: of couples and then you know it's just locked in solid.

1527
01:14:54,173 --> 01:14:56,612
Speaker 2: I mean, because you know all couples are solid. Obviously.

1528
01:14:56,772 --> 01:14:58,692
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been a lot of ticks sort of alluding

1529
01:14:58,732 --> 01:15:00,093
Speaker 3: to this, but media can be a bit of a

1530
01:15:00,173 --> 01:15:03,253
Speaker 3: hot bed for office relationships, certainly in did me have

1531
01:15:03,412 --> 01:15:03,892
Speaker 3: had a few?

1532
01:15:05,452 --> 01:15:05,772
Speaker 15: Have they?

1533
01:15:06,013 --> 01:15:08,532
Speaker 3: Apparently? Yeah, we got a name. Note why everybod body

1534
01:15:08,612 --> 01:15:13,053
Speaker 3: knows everybody knows not news talks be You wouldn't think so,

1535
01:15:13,253 --> 01:15:18,412
Speaker 3: but apparently apparently better romances. There's people dating pretty much

1536
01:15:18,973 --> 01:15:21,053
Speaker 3: pretty much every other timeslot except for this one.

1537
01:15:21,253 --> 01:15:24,772
Speaker 2: Really yeah, oh my goodness, I know how crazy well

1538
01:15:25,372 --> 01:15:25,973
Speaker 2: I did not know.

1539
01:15:27,933 --> 01:15:31,933
Speaker 3: This textas says, this is why organizations have conflict of

1540
01:15:32,053 --> 01:15:36,612
Speaker 3: interest policies and registers to record your personal and professional interests.

1541
01:15:36,692 --> 01:15:39,532
Speaker 3: Disclose the interest and it can be managed. Public servants

1542
01:15:39,572 --> 01:15:43,372
Speaker 3: are required to disclose these material relationships. That's written by

1543
01:15:43,372 --> 01:15:43,732
Speaker 3: a lawyer.

1544
01:15:43,933 --> 01:15:48,652
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, you know speaking of public service people

1545
01:15:48,692 --> 01:15:52,692
Speaker 2: I know and work relationships, how could we forget Merelyn

1546
01:15:52,812 --> 01:15:55,532
Speaker 2: Brown Bevin Schwang in the nasty photo a room at

1547
01:15:55,572 --> 01:15:56,452
Speaker 2: the Oakland City Council.

1548
01:15:56,572 --> 01:15:57,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, scandalous.

1549
01:15:57,933 --> 01:15:59,692
Speaker 2: You know, that's that's not the kind of thing we're

1550
01:15:59,692 --> 01:16:02,532
Speaker 2: talking about here. We're not talking about We're not talking

1551
01:16:02,572 --> 01:16:05,692
Speaker 2: about that kind of thing. Nothing about loves adults. Are

1552
01:16:05,732 --> 01:16:08,852
Speaker 2: we suggesting that aults must be treated like children of pain?

1553
01:16:08,933 --> 01:16:10,572
Speaker 2: That really is an adults problem.

1554
01:16:11,333 --> 01:16:16,532
Speaker 3: Okay, yep, and this one, hey, guys, great topic. Met

1555
01:16:16,572 --> 01:16:19,972
Speaker 3: my girlfriend at work HOSPO being together for two years now, God,

1556
01:16:20,093 --> 01:16:22,972
Speaker 3: about four to five more couples all happened at work

1557
01:16:23,013 --> 01:16:25,133
Speaker 3: as well. It's good as we spend most of the

1558
01:16:25,173 --> 01:16:29,412
Speaker 3: time together at work, but most of the time together

1559
01:16:29,452 --> 01:16:32,692
Speaker 3: at work. But it's all good. We just need to

1560
01:16:32,732 --> 01:16:35,372
Speaker 3: be a little bit more careful and open minded. But

1561
01:16:35,973 --> 01:16:39,492
Speaker 3: HOSPO clearly is a massive hotbed for office romances.

1562
01:16:39,572 --> 01:16:41,532
Speaker 2: You know why that is? It's because you work late

1563
01:16:41,572 --> 01:16:44,852
Speaker 2: into the night and then everyone stays afterwards for drinkies,

1564
01:16:45,372 --> 01:16:47,532
Speaker 2: you know. And that's the big trap of HOSPO when

1565
01:16:47,572 --> 01:16:50,213
Speaker 2: you start working hospital work your hours and then you

1566
01:16:50,772 --> 01:16:52,933
Speaker 2: end up staying in that same bar for hours and

1567
01:16:52,973 --> 01:16:53,452
Speaker 2: hours after you.

1568
01:16:53,492 --> 01:16:57,972
Speaker 3: Finished work hard and play hard. A couple more coming

1569
01:16:58,053 --> 01:17:02,173
Speaker 3: through about alleged relationships at news talks.

1570
01:17:02,213 --> 01:17:03,972
Speaker 2: He'd be going to be the only ones that aren't

1571
01:17:03,973 --> 01:17:06,293
Speaker 2: hooking up with people at news talks. He'd be Tyler apparently.

1572
01:17:06,452 --> 01:17:09,772
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, buddy, keep up with news talks.

1573
01:17:09,812 --> 01:17:11,772
Speaker 2: He'd be so bunny sexy places.

Speaker 2: You've gotten up to go to the bathroom, understand.

1661
01:21:24,612 --> 01:21:27,772
Speaker 9: Yeah, So got up, went to the bathroom. I saw

1662
01:21:27,893 --> 01:21:31,932
Speaker 9: it was about office three on the clock. And when

1663
01:21:31,973 --> 01:21:33,412
Speaker 9: I was done there, I got back into bed and

1664
01:21:33,532 --> 01:21:37,692
Speaker 9: I just just got, you know, comfortable, and then I

1665
01:21:38,293 --> 01:21:43,293
Speaker 9: heard this wire screeching and then just this roll of thunder.

1666
01:21:43,452 --> 01:21:46,852
Speaker 9: It was immense sound and it just grew louder and

1667
01:21:46,973 --> 01:21:54,852
Speaker 9: louder than a massive bang. And yeah, then just everything

1668
01:21:54,973 --> 01:21:58,013
Speaker 9: was on top of us. It was bricks and windows

1669
01:21:58,133 --> 01:22:04,692
Speaker 9: and everything. And so then I started screaming and just

1670
01:22:04,812 --> 01:22:10,213
Speaker 9: digging myself out. So then when I got up finally out,

1671
01:22:10,333 --> 01:22:14,092
Speaker 9: it's just last everywhere and it's dark, and I started

1672
01:22:14,133 --> 01:22:17,812
Speaker 9: screaming for my wife and she doesn't answer the first

1673
01:22:17,853 --> 01:22:20,812
Speaker 9: two times that I call her, and I just see

1674
01:22:20,853 --> 01:22:24,092
Speaker 9: her leg sticking out under this car that's in our bedroom,

1675
01:22:24,333 --> 01:22:28,572
Speaker 9: and I don't know what happened there. It all just loked,

1676
01:22:28,732 --> 01:22:33,133
Speaker 9: really fuzzy, and but somehow managed to push the call,

1677
01:22:33,372 --> 01:22:35,893
Speaker 9: lift the car out of the way. Well, just and

1678
01:22:36,053 --> 01:22:38,173
Speaker 9: grabbed my wife and just pull it out, you know.

1679
01:22:38,333 --> 01:22:40,812
Speaker 9: After she answered me the third time, and I could

1680
01:22:41,053 --> 01:22:46,132
Speaker 9: actually pinpoint where she was. And it was the scariest

1681
01:22:46,133 --> 01:22:47,732
Speaker 9: thing I've ever experienced in my life.

1682
01:22:48,812 --> 01:22:52,013
Speaker 2: I be now, So Anne, let's hear it from your perspective.

1683
01:22:52,053 --> 01:22:55,053
Speaker 2: You were asleep and then you woke up. I mean,

1684
01:22:55,133 --> 01:22:56,892
Speaker 2: what was going through your mind? It would have been

1685
01:22:56,933 --> 01:22:58,052
Speaker 2: hard to work out what had happened.

1686
01:22:59,372 --> 01:23:03,653
Speaker 19: I didn't even yeah anything. I just heard you screaming.

1687
01:23:05,213 --> 01:23:07,412
Speaker 19: The way he was screaming, I've never heard him scream

1688
01:23:07,532 --> 01:23:10,732
Speaker 19: up back before and pulling everything on top of you,

1689
01:23:11,013 --> 01:23:14,692
Speaker 19: and there was curtain on me, and I didn't know

1690
01:23:14,772 --> 01:23:17,572
Speaker 19: what was going on because you couldn't see anything. And

1691
01:23:17,652 --> 01:23:21,692
Speaker 19: I just kept on telling him it's pushing on my stomach,

1692
01:23:21,772 --> 01:23:25,053
Speaker 19: it's pushing, and he just said, can you get out?

1693
01:23:25,093 --> 01:23:30,253
Speaker 19: And I said no, I can't, and just suddenly I

1694
01:23:30,412 --> 01:23:33,253
Speaker 19: just feel the weights coming off my stomach and him

1695
01:23:33,492 --> 01:23:37,412
Speaker 19: pulling me aside and we just ran. I didn't even

1696
01:23:37,853 --> 01:23:45,293
Speaker 19: feel any pain yet or it was crazy. I really

1697
01:23:45,333 --> 01:23:46,293
Speaker 19: thought I was going to dry.

1698
01:23:46,572 --> 01:23:49,933
Speaker 2: Oh that's that is, I mean, understandable. And at what

1699
01:23:50,053 --> 01:23:52,852
Speaker 2: point did you actually realize it was a car because

1700
01:23:53,173 --> 01:23:55,532
Speaker 2: it sounds like it was just pandemonium at this stage.

1701
01:23:57,013 --> 01:24:01,092
Speaker 19: I ran outside and then I really can't even remember,

1702
01:24:01,293 --> 01:24:04,293
Speaker 19: but I think I came back in and I went

1703
01:24:04,372 --> 01:24:06,652
Speaker 19: down the passage and then I saw it was a car,

1704
01:24:07,253 --> 01:24:09,053
Speaker 19: and then I went out to go see if the

1705
01:24:09,173 --> 01:24:12,893
Speaker 19: driver was okay. They've got him out. So it was

1706
01:24:13,013 --> 01:24:18,172
Speaker 19: just very confusing. I can't really remember everything.

1707
01:24:18,612 --> 01:24:21,732
Speaker 2: I'm trying to well, we appreciate it. We're talking to

1708
01:24:21,812 --> 01:24:23,892
Speaker 2: lou Allen and Sue Anne, who had a calf fly

1709
01:24:24,133 --> 01:24:28,293
Speaker 2: through their bedroom wall in Roliston. So you have got

1710
01:24:28,372 --> 01:24:33,852
Speaker 2: out and an amazing act of heroism from you, Louis Allen. Allen,

1711
01:24:33,933 --> 01:24:37,772
Speaker 2: you found some kind of superhuman strength to lift the car.

1712
01:24:39,732 --> 01:24:39,972
Speaker 19: Yeah.

1713
01:24:41,213 --> 01:24:42,692
Speaker 9: To be honest, I don't know how I did it.

1714
01:24:43,372 --> 01:24:45,452
Speaker 9: I don't know what happened. All I know is I

1715
01:24:45,532 --> 01:24:47,612
Speaker 9: had the coin my one hand and my wife on

1716
01:24:47,652 --> 01:24:50,692
Speaker 9: the other hand, and within a matter of seconds we

1717
01:24:50,772 --> 01:24:51,492
Speaker 9: were out of the room.

1718
01:24:52,053 --> 01:24:52,492
Speaker 2: Unreal.

1719
01:24:53,452 --> 01:24:57,972
Speaker 9: I don't know how. It just felt easy at that point,

1720
01:24:58,532 --> 01:25:00,772
Speaker 9: but looking back at it, when I look at the

1721
01:25:00,853 --> 01:25:03,053
Speaker 9: pictures and even when I went back into the room

1722
01:25:03,173 --> 01:25:07,572
Speaker 9: later on, I almost fainted just from thinking of how

1723
01:25:07,853 --> 01:25:10,973
Speaker 9: the hell did I just how did I do it?

1724
01:25:11,093 --> 01:25:11,452
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1725
01:25:12,612 --> 01:25:15,612
Speaker 3: And you mentioned that the curtain may have slowed the

1726
01:25:15,732 --> 01:25:17,812
Speaker 3: car down even a little bit. Is that right? You

1727
01:25:17,853 --> 01:25:20,852
Speaker 3: think the curtain lucky? It was there to try and

1728
01:25:21,173 --> 01:25:22,052
Speaker 3: deflect it someone.

1729
01:25:23,013 --> 01:25:26,412
Speaker 9: I think maybe the curtain was more of blocking the

1730
01:25:27,053 --> 01:25:30,692
Speaker 9: shrapnel of all the black bricks and the glass that

1731
01:25:32,013 --> 01:25:35,213
Speaker 9: flew through the room. At Some of the bricks were

1732
01:25:35,213 --> 01:25:38,933
Speaker 9: actually lodged into the opposite wall in our bedroom. So

1733
01:25:39,812 --> 01:25:43,852
Speaker 9: the curtain saved us from all the small things. You know,

1734
01:25:44,173 --> 01:25:47,612
Speaker 9: it was and I think we would have got much

1735
01:25:47,893 --> 01:25:50,572
Speaker 9: much more damage. If it wasn't for the curtain, it

1736
01:25:51,293 --> 01:25:52,932
Speaker 9: would have cut us up definitely.

1737
01:25:53,333 --> 01:25:56,133
Speaker 2: So now you're in a situation where you know the

1738
01:25:56,772 --> 01:26:00,053
Speaker 2: smoke's settling a little bit, and you have someone in

1739
01:26:00,173 --> 01:26:04,053
Speaker 2: a car in your bedroom, so you run up to

1740
01:26:04,532 --> 01:26:05,372
Speaker 2: talk to this person.

1741
01:26:06,812 --> 01:26:10,932
Speaker 9: Yeah, so when we got the kids, because after my wife,

1742
01:26:10,973 --> 01:26:13,572
Speaker 9: the first thing we did is grab the kids. And luckily,

1743
01:26:13,893 --> 01:26:16,572
Speaker 9: there there was no there wasn't even a scratch in

1744
01:26:16,612 --> 01:26:19,012
Speaker 9: their rooms. They was perfectly safe.

1745
01:26:20,652 --> 01:26:21,652
Speaker 10: So we grabbed them.

1746
01:26:21,732 --> 01:26:25,812
Speaker 9: We get them outside, and we first things we think

1747
01:26:25,893 --> 01:26:28,013
Speaker 9: of is calling the police. But as we open the

1748
01:26:28,053 --> 01:26:31,972
Speaker 9: front door, the whole of our street is out there

1749
01:26:32,093 --> 01:26:35,772
Speaker 9: in their pajamas, some people with no clothes well, no

1750
01:26:35,973 --> 01:26:40,053
Speaker 9: t shirts, no socks, no shoes. Everyone is just there

1751
01:26:40,173 --> 01:26:43,812
Speaker 9: and they are already trying to you know, to help

1752
01:26:43,893 --> 01:26:46,852
Speaker 9: us and get us on our you know, just to

1753
01:26:46,893 --> 01:26:51,812
Speaker 9: see if we're all okay. And then when I see again,

1754
01:26:52,013 --> 01:26:53,892
Speaker 9: when I got around the corner to the outside where

1755
01:26:53,933 --> 01:26:57,692
Speaker 9: when I look again, they got the driver out of

1756
01:26:57,732 --> 01:27:01,053
Speaker 9: the car, and I just walk up to me and

1757
01:27:01,293 --> 01:27:04,812
Speaker 9: luck or you okay, is there anyone else in the car.

1758
01:27:04,973 --> 01:27:07,852
Speaker 9: That's all I wanted to know, because you never know

1759
01:27:07,933 --> 01:27:11,013
Speaker 9: if there were a child in the car or you know,

1760
01:27:11,173 --> 01:27:14,492
Speaker 9: his wife or so. We were just so scared that

1761
01:27:14,772 --> 01:27:16,492
Speaker 9: there was someone else in the car with him. And

1762
01:27:18,532 --> 01:27:20,852
Speaker 9: the worst thing is that the first thing he told

1763
01:27:20,893 --> 01:27:25,213
Speaker 9: me is he's so sorry, He's so sorry, and you know,

1764
01:27:25,372 --> 01:27:29,053
Speaker 9: it was it was a tough morning, but you know,

1765
01:27:29,732 --> 01:27:31,333
Speaker 9: we're all human, you know.

1766
01:27:31,973 --> 01:27:34,293
Speaker 2: Yes, So do you know how he managed to lose

1767
01:27:34,372 --> 01:27:36,092
Speaker 2: control and go flying through your bidroom?

1768
01:27:36,133 --> 01:27:36,293
Speaker 7: More?

1769
01:27:37,532 --> 01:27:41,732
Speaker 9: We're not We're not too sure, but he was speeding.

1770
01:27:43,692 --> 01:27:46,293
Speaker 19: I think I already mentioned something about a cat to

1771
01:27:46,412 --> 01:27:46,932
Speaker 19: the police.

1772
01:27:47,013 --> 01:27:47,893
Speaker 22: I don't know it was.

1773
01:27:50,013 --> 01:27:53,333
Speaker 9: I don't know ye for a cat, but we know

1774
01:27:54,492 --> 01:27:58,812
Speaker 9: from what the police have told us. He's the first

1775
01:27:58,853 --> 01:28:02,772
Speaker 9: courts appearance. They charging him with drinking and driving, so

1776
01:28:02,973 --> 01:28:05,612
Speaker 9: that might have been an influence on it. But you know,

1777
01:28:05,732 --> 01:28:08,213
Speaker 9: we we don't really know the full story on he

1778
01:28:08,492 --> 01:28:11,333
Speaker 9: and we haven't had a chance to speak to him.

1779
01:28:11,973 --> 01:28:12,213
Speaker 3: Wow.

1780
01:28:12,412 --> 01:28:14,932
Speaker 2: So as you look back on it, I mean, how

1781
01:28:15,013 --> 01:28:20,333
Speaker 2: are you feeling about it now? Because we're talking millimeters

1782
01:28:20,412 --> 01:28:23,253
Speaker 2: away from a tragedy pretty much, aren't we.

1783
01:28:24,253 --> 01:28:24,452
Speaker 18: Yeah?

1784
01:28:24,812 --> 01:28:27,093
Speaker 9: I was, I was angry. I'm not going to lie.

1785
01:28:29,013 --> 01:28:31,652
Speaker 9: When I first got to terms and was taken to

1786
01:28:31,732 --> 01:28:34,652
Speaker 9: hospital for her check and I was busy sorting the

1787
01:28:34,772 --> 01:28:39,092
Speaker 9: kids out. I was really angry. I felt deep anger

1788
01:28:39,133 --> 01:28:42,772
Speaker 9: inside me. But the next day I woke up, you

1789
01:28:42,853 --> 01:28:48,772
Speaker 9: know when I realized, look, everyone's safe, and everyone is

1790
01:28:49,372 --> 01:28:52,173
Speaker 9: you know, I've still got my family. You know, I

1791
01:28:52,853 --> 01:28:54,133
Speaker 9: kind of gave him.

1792
01:28:54,812 --> 01:28:56,092
Speaker 7: Yeah for what happened.

1793
01:28:56,612 --> 01:29:00,772
Speaker 2: Well, mate, you would have to be an absolute saint

1794
01:29:01,253 --> 01:29:05,213
Speaker 2: to not have experienced some anger after you you know,

1795
01:29:05,372 --> 01:29:07,452
Speaker 2: you found a car on top of your wife because

1796
01:29:07,452 --> 01:29:10,452
Speaker 2: someone's gone frying through the window. But also incredible that

1797
01:29:10,612 --> 01:29:13,452
Speaker 2: that quickly, you know, just overnight, you as a person

1798
01:29:14,173 --> 01:29:18,253
Speaker 2: can move on and you know, find forgiveness that quickly.

1799
01:29:19,933 --> 01:29:23,613
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, it's Look, it was a life changing experience.

1800
01:29:23,692 --> 01:29:26,492
Speaker 9: You know, I don't think holding a grudge would have

1801
01:29:26,692 --> 01:29:30,293
Speaker 9: changed anything. Definitely.

1802
01:29:30,532 --> 01:29:32,732
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you one thing that's good that you

1803
01:29:32,893 --> 01:29:35,253
Speaker 2: now can tick off the things that can potentially happen

1804
01:29:35,293 --> 01:29:38,173
Speaker 2: to you off the list, because no one's in a

1805
01:29:38,213 --> 01:29:41,772
Speaker 2: situation where two cars fly through the window of their bedroom.

1806
01:29:42,333 --> 01:29:44,333
Speaker 2: So you know you're say from that one now that

1807
01:29:44,532 --> 01:29:46,572
Speaker 2: the odds are too small for that to ever happened again.

1808
01:29:47,013 --> 01:29:48,852
Speaker 9: Yeah, the statistically off for ever.

1809
01:29:49,013 --> 01:29:52,612
Speaker 3: No, yes, yeah, yeah, And you mentioned the community of

1810
01:29:52,692 --> 01:29:55,932
Speaker 3: Roliston and your neighbors. And that's a beautiful thing about Roliston.

1811
01:29:56,333 --> 01:29:58,333
Speaker 3: You've managed to move into a new place, is that right?

1812
01:29:59,452 --> 01:30:02,932
Speaker 9: Yes, with the help of the whole community and Bailey's

1813
01:30:02,973 --> 01:30:08,812
Speaker 9: Canterbury property and A one properties, they collaborated and we

1814
01:30:08,933 --> 01:30:13,812
Speaker 9: found outside standing open and clear and ready to move

1815
01:30:13,893 --> 01:30:17,812
Speaker 9: in and it's and then we had a couple of

1816
01:30:17,893 --> 01:30:23,092
Speaker 9: friends and and a lot of random people just pitching

1817
01:30:23,173 --> 01:30:25,852
Speaker 9: in and helping us move and it went so smooth

1818
01:30:25,893 --> 01:30:30,093
Speaker 9: and so quick. Also, it's amazing. It's really we have

1819
01:30:30,213 --> 01:30:33,892
Speaker 9: never experienced this type of family situation.

1820
01:30:34,333 --> 01:30:35,013
Speaker 15: Family it is.

1821
01:30:35,572 --> 01:30:38,053
Speaker 9: It's definitely like family, it's not just a community.

1822
01:30:38,492 --> 01:30:40,973
Speaker 2: That's that's fantastic. And the kids all right, obviously they

1823
01:30:41,013 --> 01:30:43,572
Speaker 2: didn't get injured, but how are they dealing with the

1824
01:30:43,652 --> 01:30:46,172
Speaker 2: whole car through the front of the house situation.

1825
01:30:47,492 --> 01:30:52,333
Speaker 19: Oh, they're doing they're doing okay. On Saturday they were

1826
01:30:52,412 --> 01:31:00,372
Speaker 19: but upset and they actually saw how bad it actually was.

1827
01:31:01,133 --> 01:31:04,492
Speaker 19: They were not having a good day, but going to

1828
01:31:04,692 --> 01:31:09,213
Speaker 19: school and seeing their friends and the school also been

01:32:24,732 --> 01:32:26,692
Speaker 28: my fence either. That that was pretty horrific.

1852
01:32:26,812 --> 01:32:27,772
Speaker 9: Poor poor people.

1853
01:32:27,853 --> 01:32:33,213
Speaker 29: Glather Okay, yeah, exactly, mate, Yeah, I had something pales

1854
01:32:33,253 --> 01:32:36,492
Speaker 29: in comparison, really, but we went on a school camp,

1855
01:32:37,053 --> 01:32:38,692
Speaker 29: so we would have been sixteen sort.

1856
01:32:38,572 --> 01:32:41,652
Speaker 30: Of seventeen years old as in christ Church. We went

1857
01:32:41,772 --> 01:32:44,892
Speaker 30: down the down the river out the back of Spencer

1858
01:32:44,933 --> 01:32:45,892
Speaker 30: Park all the way down.

1859
01:32:45,772 --> 01:32:47,412
Speaker 18: To the Wymack Mouth.

1860
01:32:49,053 --> 01:32:50,092
Speaker 28: We were white baiting.

1861
01:32:50,532 --> 01:32:53,173
Speaker 30: One of the guys brought a motorbike, took off on

1862
01:32:53,213 --> 01:32:56,052
Speaker 30: the motorbike, went down the beach, hit some soft sand,

1863
01:32:57,173 --> 01:32:58,972
Speaker 30: front wheel dug and flipped it over.

1864
01:32:59,133 --> 01:33:02,572
Speaker 28: The fox fedal went through my legs and took a

1865
01:33:02,692 --> 01:33:05,412
Speaker 28: massive gash out which I didn't realize.

1866
01:33:05,093 --> 01:33:08,092
Speaker 30: At the time, but when I flipped over, the clutch

1867
01:33:08,173 --> 01:33:11,812
Speaker 30: care on the motorbike snapped and the cable went across

1868
01:33:11,853 --> 01:33:15,133
Speaker 30: my throat. Oh man, if I had been and it

1869
01:33:15,213 --> 01:33:17,852
Speaker 30: scrapped my throat. But if I had been, let's say

1870
01:33:18,412 --> 01:33:21,213
Speaker 30: twenty meals more, it would have actually, well ten meals

1871
01:33:21,253 --> 01:33:23,093
Speaker 30: more even it probably would have taken a massive gash

1872
01:33:23,173 --> 01:33:25,852
Speaker 30: through my through mycros and it would have been good night, nurse.

1873
01:33:25,933 --> 01:33:29,372
Speaker 30: So yeah, I got up, I looked at the bike,

1874
01:33:29,492 --> 01:33:31,053
Speaker 30: I tried to kick it over, and as I tried

1875
01:33:31,053 --> 01:33:34,173
Speaker 30: to kick it over again, my my foots and my

1876
01:33:34,293 --> 01:33:37,253
Speaker 30: leg collapsed and locked in my pants and then rapped

1877
01:33:37,293 --> 01:33:39,572
Speaker 30: open my pants and saw this massive gash out of

1878
01:33:39,612 --> 01:33:40,692
Speaker 30: my leg and the.

1879
01:33:40,692 --> 01:33:42,972
Speaker 28: Rest was kind of history. They rushed me off to hospital,

1880
01:33:43,013 --> 01:33:44,932
Speaker 28: and yeah, that was pretty pretty horrific.

1881
01:33:45,093 --> 01:33:47,093
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we you so your mate was on the bike,

1882
01:33:47,133 --> 01:33:49,532
Speaker 3: he got lodged in the sand, flipped it over, and

1883
01:33:49,612 --> 01:33:51,293
Speaker 3: then it got lodged in your leg, And so that's

1884
01:33:51,333 --> 01:33:54,132
Speaker 3: why you were picking it up when the clutch cable snapped,

1885
01:33:54,173 --> 01:33:54,572
Speaker 3: Is that right?

1886
01:33:55,412 --> 01:33:57,492
Speaker 30: I was riding it, so I was the only one

1887
01:33:57,612 --> 01:33:59,532
Speaker 30: I'd taken off from the group. They were all they

1888
01:33:59,612 --> 01:34:01,652
Speaker 30: were all sort of down the camp site. I took

1889
01:34:01,692 --> 01:34:04,532
Speaker 30: off the front wheel, dug down in the soft sand,

1890
01:34:04,572 --> 01:34:07,652
Speaker 30: and as it flipped over, the bike sort of flipped

1891
01:34:07,732 --> 01:34:10,492
Speaker 30: and the fire pedal as it's come down on me,

1892
01:34:10,572 --> 01:34:14,653
Speaker 30: the foot pedals sliced through by inside.

1893
01:34:14,293 --> 01:34:19,532
Speaker 28: Of my knee and cut cut a massive punk, a

1894
01:34:19,612 --> 01:34:20,452
Speaker 28: massive gash out.

1895
01:34:21,412 --> 01:34:24,492
Speaker 30: And then and then and then the clutch cable had snapped,

1896
01:34:24,532 --> 01:34:26,133
Speaker 30: and as I've sort of rolled through the sand, the

1897
01:34:26,173 --> 01:34:28,293
Speaker 30: bikes come back over the top of me again and

1898
01:34:28,372 --> 01:34:31,772
Speaker 30: the clutch table has gone straight across my throat, and yeah,

1899
01:34:32,053 --> 01:34:34,492
Speaker 30: and then, of course it's not until it's not until

1900
01:34:34,612 --> 01:34:36,893
Speaker 30: many hours and days and months, and you know, but

1901
01:34:37,013 --> 01:34:40,093
Speaker 30: to rehab afterwards, you start thinking about how close you

1902
01:34:40,253 --> 01:34:43,333
Speaker 30: were to maybe you know, not being around.

1903
01:34:43,452 --> 01:34:49,492
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, and how long until you know help came?

1904
01:34:49,532 --> 01:34:50,572
Speaker 2: How long to an ambulance?

1905
01:34:51,973 --> 01:34:52,772
Speaker 10: The guys, I.

1906
01:34:52,933 --> 01:34:55,173
Speaker 30: Yelled out, and they heard me. They came rushing down

1907
01:34:55,213 --> 01:34:57,452
Speaker 30: on a four wheeler. And just at that point in time,

1908
01:34:57,492 --> 01:34:58,333
Speaker 30: the teacher turned up.

1909
01:34:59,772 --> 01:35:02,572
Speaker 28: He turned up with a wheel drive and he and

1910
01:35:02,692 --> 01:35:04,892
Speaker 28: luckily the tide was out, and he drove.

1911
01:35:05,013 --> 01:35:07,053
Speaker 30: He drove me back into christ to the hospital and

1912
01:35:07,612 --> 01:35:10,892
Speaker 30: and I finally through. My mate was beside me, were

1913
01:35:10,933 --> 01:35:13,732
Speaker 30: standing there sort of like, I guess for moral sympathy.

1914
01:35:14,213 --> 01:35:17,692
Speaker 28: And next minute he faints. When when the nerves starts,

1915
01:35:18,412 --> 01:35:19,692
Speaker 28: you've got a hospital bed.

1916
01:35:22,692 --> 01:35:24,732
Speaker 2: How are you feeling in that circumstance You've got to

1917
01:35:24,772 --> 01:35:28,253
Speaker 2: make fainting? But how are you dealing with the pain

1918
01:35:28,412 --> 01:35:31,053
Speaker 2: and the shock at that point? And when you're being

1919
01:35:31,133 --> 01:35:31,732
Speaker 2: taken hospital?

1920
01:35:32,532 --> 01:35:34,892
Speaker 28: I was fine. I couldn't I couldn't really feel much.

1921
01:35:34,933 --> 01:35:37,812
Speaker 28: They numbed me out. It was fifty fifty stitches. And

1922
01:35:38,372 --> 01:35:40,093
Speaker 28: I just tell the kids, it's a shark bite now,

1923
01:35:40,133 --> 01:35:42,492
Speaker 28: and I just tell everyone I got my shark.

1924
01:35:42,612 --> 01:35:45,132
Speaker 18: So we're all good and but yeah.

1925
01:35:44,973 --> 01:35:46,692
Speaker 28: It's scary when things happened to you.

1926
01:35:46,772 --> 01:35:48,972
Speaker 18: But I think it's so the people you just interviewed,

1927
01:35:49,013 --> 01:35:50,173
Speaker 18: it's it's almost.

1928
01:35:49,933 --> 01:35:52,253
Speaker 30: Like now they're coming to the realization of how close

1929
01:35:52,333 --> 01:35:54,612
Speaker 30: things were, and in the heat of the moment, it's

1930
01:35:54,692 --> 01:35:55,333
Speaker 30: just adrenaline.

1931
01:35:55,452 --> 01:35:56,732
Speaker 11: But yeah, it's later.

1932
01:35:56,812 --> 01:35:58,013
Speaker 28: Later you think how lucky you are.

1933
01:35:58,133 --> 01:36:00,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a funny thing because I was in this

1934
01:36:00,612 --> 01:36:04,333
Speaker 2: terrible bike accident and my arm broke off. That's why

1935
01:36:04,333 --> 01:36:06,253
Speaker 2: I've got my bone came out my arm there and

1936
01:36:06,293 --> 01:36:07,452
Speaker 2: I bit through my tongue and I was in a

1937
01:36:07,572 --> 01:36:10,452
Speaker 2: terrible state, and I was in the ambulance, and the

1938
01:36:11,053 --> 01:36:15,852
Speaker 2: ambulance you know that the emergency person says said to me, boy,

1939
01:36:16,013 --> 01:36:20,412
Speaker 2: you are so lucky. And I was lucky. What I

1940
01:36:20,492 --> 01:36:23,372
Speaker 2: was trying to say was, I don't feel very lucky. Lucky.

1941
01:36:23,732 --> 01:36:26,173
Speaker 2: I would have made it to my destination.

1942
01:36:25,933 --> 01:36:28,412
Speaker 3: My arm wouldn't be bangled and my door hanging off.

1943
01:36:28,492 --> 01:36:32,133
Speaker 2: So I'm lucky that I'm alive, But I would be

1944
01:36:32,293 --> 01:36:34,732
Speaker 2: more lucky if I had just got home. That would

1945
01:36:34,732 --> 01:36:35,852
Speaker 2: have been the perfect amount of luck.

1946

1975
01:38:13,013 --> 01:38:17,293

Speaker 2: hear those stories. We just managed you to know how

1982
01:38:34,492 --> 01:38:35,892
Speaker 2: he did it. He managed to pick the car up

1983
01:38:35,933 --> 01:38:36,492
Speaker 2: of his wife.

1984
01:38:36,652 --> 01:38:39,092
Speaker 3: Yeah, unreally a text.

1990
01:38:55,572 --> 01:38:59,532
Speaker 26: Mate, I had a house and the first car they

1991
01:38:59,572 --> 01:39:02,933
Speaker 26: went through it was two up, I mean up and

1992
01:39:03,133 --> 01:39:06,732
Speaker 26: to across Uncle Jimmy, as I put it, let's handbrake off,

1993
01:39:07,053 --> 01:39:10,053
Speaker 26: came through the banana plant fence, lost himself in the

1994
01:39:10,093 --> 01:39:14,732
Speaker 26: bottom bedroom against some mate, and woke up with a

1995
01:39:14,772 --> 01:39:15,812
Speaker 26: bumper right on the bed.

1996
01:39:16,093 --> 01:39:17,093
Speaker 10: Kind of got over that one.

1997
01:39:17,253 --> 01:39:18,732
Speaker 26: He was okay, you know, he was a little bit

1998
01:39:18,772 --> 01:39:21,452
Speaker 26: tauma tri for all day was over, you know, a

1999
01:39:21,532 --> 01:39:23,733
Speaker 26: good roast dinner and you're okay.

2000
01:39:23,492 --> 01:39:24,173
Speaker 5: And he was all right.

2001
01:39:24,812 --> 01:39:28,173
Speaker 26: And then about a month later you wouldn't credit this,

2002
01:39:28,812 --> 01:39:32,492
Speaker 26: some nimrod who probably shouldn't be even thinking he'd be

2003
01:39:32,532 --> 01:39:36,692
Speaker 26: a danger society, decided to jump start his man down

2004
01:39:36,812 --> 01:39:39,933
Speaker 26: my driveway, which you can't see from the road. So

2005
01:39:40,093 --> 01:39:43,692
Speaker 26: as he jump started it, he stop the first gear.

2006
01:39:43,893 --> 01:39:46,933
Speaker 26: It hopped more than a bucking donko, went through my

2007
01:39:47,053 --> 01:39:51,612
Speaker 26: fence again, through the bottom bedroom again, and again landed

2008
01:39:51,652 --> 01:39:56,013
Speaker 26: on my flatmate's bed. So he was okay again with that,

2009
01:39:56,253 --> 01:39:57,053
Speaker 26: you know, I sort I said, you.

2010
01:39:57,053 --> 01:39:58,532
Speaker 11: Know, you are right, and he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2011
01:39:59,133 --> 01:40:01,013
Speaker 26: So he kind of got over that one, and he

2012
01:40:01,173 --> 01:40:03,213
Speaker 26: kind of was a little bit like, you know, how

2013
01:40:03,253 --> 01:40:04,972
Speaker 26: do they find us? And I said, we don't worry,

2014
01:40:05,412 --> 01:40:09,133
Speaker 26: We've gone through it. So the third one that this

2015
01:40:09,333 --> 01:40:13,132
Speaker 26: is unbelievable. So I had three hours down the bottom

2016
01:40:13,412 --> 01:40:15,973
Speaker 26: and again the guy who was driving the car he

2017
01:40:16,093 --> 01:40:19,532
Speaker 26: should even own a packet of corn flax row flying

2018
01:40:19,732 --> 01:40:23,253
Speaker 26: past the three cars fun out on the corner, went

2019
01:40:23,333 --> 01:40:30,053
Speaker 26: through the fence again. He hit the old fashioned tight clothesline,

2020
01:40:30,253 --> 01:40:34,372
Speaker 26: lifted it out of the frigging ground. That went through

2021
01:40:34,452 --> 01:40:37,452
Speaker 26: the toilet window, hit my flapmate on the back of

2022
01:40:37,492 --> 01:40:39,492
Speaker 26: the head, who was perched having a great day on

2023
01:40:39,572 --> 01:40:43,372
Speaker 26: the toilet has hit them, went through the door, and

2024
01:40:44,412 --> 01:40:47,372
Speaker 26: it's unbelievable. But you know, I rushed up and I

2025
01:40:47,412 --> 01:40:49,333
Speaker 26: said a okay, and he said no too, had taken

2026
01:40:49,372 --> 01:40:51,972
Speaker 26: the hospital. Twelve should back the head and a few

2027
01:40:52,053 --> 01:40:54,652
Speaker 26: on the front, and then I hit the ring the

2028
01:40:54,732 --> 01:40:55,492
Speaker 26: insurance coming.

2029
01:40:55,692 --> 01:40:57,412
Speaker 5: The guy did not believe me.

2030
01:40:58,013 --> 01:41:00,572
Speaker 26: He came out and he said, this is the third

2031
01:41:00,812 --> 01:41:03,293
Speaker 26: car into your house and you're not even near the road.

2032
01:41:03,732 --> 01:41:04,612
Speaker 10: And I said, true.

2033
01:41:04,812 --> 01:41:06,892
Speaker 23: He goes the witness is upstairs.

2034
01:41:06,973 --> 01:41:11,532
Speaker 26: He's on a month and had the pyramid of shit

2035
01:41:12,053 --> 01:41:13,893
Speaker 26: and twelve stitches in the back of the d I

2036
01:41:14,013 --> 01:41:18,253
Speaker 26: think five in the front. And the insurance guy said Look,

2037
01:41:18,452 --> 01:41:20,452
Speaker 26: I've got to say this for the last time we're

2038
01:41:20,492 --> 01:41:21,812
Speaker 26: paying house cars going into here.

2039
01:41:23,612 --> 01:41:27,372
Speaker 2: This is bad news, isn't it? Because I said to

2040
01:41:27,452 --> 01:41:30,812
Speaker 2: lou Allen that you know, at least they can be

2041
01:41:31,253 --> 01:41:33,293
Speaker 2: happy and safe now because it will never happen again.

2042
01:41:33,572 --> 01:41:35,812
Speaker 2: I said, you've had your one car through the odds

2043
01:41:35,853 --> 01:41:37,492
Speaker 2: are in your favorite that's what you said to them.

2044
01:41:38,253 --> 01:41:46,852
Speaker 2: But apparently yeah, but it was like he wasn't killed. Yeah,

2045
01:41:47,093 --> 01:41:49,213
Speaker 2: Can I get my head around? So you've got quite

2046
01:41:49,253 --> 01:41:50,092
Speaker 2: a steep driveway?

2047
01:41:50,213 --> 01:41:50,333
Speaker 18: Is that?

2048
01:41:50,492 --> 01:41:51,212
Speaker 2: Is that the situation?

2049
01:41:51,372 --> 01:41:54,372
Speaker 26: I had a yeah, the steep driveway, and it was

2050
01:41:54,692 --> 01:41:57,732
Speaker 26: this is really the checker. He was a two hundred

2051
01:41:57,732 --> 01:42:00,492
Speaker 26: and fifty meters stretch and then it went down. So

2052
01:42:00,612 --> 01:42:03,372
Speaker 26: the guy who jump started it, he must have almost

2053
01:42:03,412 --> 01:42:06,173
Speaker 26: discovered doctor Livingstone up there at the wall. So far

2054
01:42:09,053 --> 01:42:14,492
Speaker 26: it has a left ninety I write ninety at ninety

2055
01:42:14,532 --> 01:42:16,852
Speaker 26: and then down the bottom of left ninety across three houses.

2056
01:42:17,372 --> 01:42:20,572
Speaker 26: So the guy that tried to kick starters then when

2057
01:42:20,652 --> 01:42:22,213
Speaker 26: he got out, you know, he said, and he said,

2058
01:42:22,253 --> 01:42:24,452
Speaker 26: look mate, he so I'm really sorry, he said, But

2059
01:42:24,572 --> 01:42:26,532
Speaker 26: what I can do if you want to pay the

2060
01:42:26,612 --> 01:42:29,372
Speaker 26: post off off fix events and I can pay.

2061
01:42:29,253 --> 01:42:30,772
Speaker 10: You off at least eight bucks a week.

2062
01:42:31,293 --> 01:42:34,173
Speaker 20: I haven't worked in ten years, I said, God.

2063
01:42:34,652 --> 01:42:36,852
Speaker 26: So anyway, I sent him on his way and came

2064
01:42:36,933 --> 01:42:41,052
Speaker 26: a can of gatorade and hope he exploded. But apart

2065
01:42:41,093 --> 01:42:42,772
Speaker 26: from that and the third house, the.

2066
01:42:42,812 --> 01:42:45,293
Speaker 14: Third one went through the saying I just I just

2067
01:42:45,333 --> 01:42:46,013
Speaker 14: can't believe it.

2068
01:42:46,532 --> 01:42:49,572
Speaker 26: My flatmate who was who was sending a message to

2069
01:42:49,612 --> 01:42:51,372
Speaker 26: the queen at the time, as he'd went through the

2070
01:42:51,532 --> 01:42:53,772
Speaker 26: damn door, he said he didn't know what hit him.

2071
01:42:53,812 --> 01:42:57,013
Speaker 26: You're like, he wasn't he didn't have a pooed in

2072
01:42:57,053 --> 01:43:01,012
Speaker 26: the back of the head. So the the insurance agents

2073
01:43:01,053 --> 01:43:02,652
Speaker 26: just came out and he just sat down with me,

2074
01:43:02,732 --> 01:43:07,173
Speaker 26: he says, Harry, it's believable. He said, I actually took

2075
01:43:07,213 --> 01:43:09,013
Speaker 26: this case because I do not believe it.

2076
01:43:09,572 --> 01:43:12,692
Speaker 3: I do with the unreal Harry that takes the cake.

2077
01:43:12,732 --> 01:43:14,692
Speaker 3: I mean, when you start a story with the first

2078
01:43:14,812 --> 01:43:17,692
Speaker 3: time a car slept into my house, you know it's

2079
01:43:17,732 --> 01:43:18,412
Speaker 3: going to be a doozy.

2080
01:43:18,772 --> 01:43:21,172
Speaker 2: I don't think you know, you know, the worst case scenario,

2081
01:43:21,173 --> 01:43:24,652
Speaker 2: obviously is if you, for whatever reason, have flown through

2082
01:43:24,652 --> 01:43:26,732
Speaker 2: the front of someone's house in a car. Yeah, you know.

2083
01:43:27,013 --> 01:43:29,412
Speaker 2: The worst case scenario is if you'd hurt someone. But

2084
01:43:29,933 --> 01:43:31,772
Speaker 2: if you don't, and then you're just sitting in your

2085
01:43:31,812 --> 01:43:35,692
Speaker 2: car in someone's house. I mean, that's humiliating, very h

2086
01:43:35,772 --> 01:43:42,892
Speaker 2: sitting there and you go sorry, so sorry, so very sorry,

2087
01:43:43,053 --> 01:43:45,293
Speaker 2: how rude of me. I'm so sorry I have just

2088
01:43:45,772 --> 01:43:48,173
Speaker 2: popped round through the front of your house in my car.

2089
01:43:48,692 --> 01:43:50,973

2105
01:44:31,812 --> 01:44:34,093
Speaker 2: full hand to hand electric shock that almost stopped my

2106
01:44:34,173 --> 01:44:36,372

2110
01:44:43,572 --> 01:44:45,532
Speaker 3: about unlucky dangerous Dale.

2111
01:44:46,053 --> 01:44:47,973
Speaker 2: Jill, welcome to the show. Your husband had a very

2112
01:44:48,053 --> 01:44:48,612
Speaker 2: lucky escape.

2113
01:44:49,053 --> 01:44:51,892
Speaker 24: Oh, yes he did, but it sounds quite time after

2114
01:44:52,013 --> 01:44:55,173
Speaker 24: all those dramas. But it's a few years back. He

2115
01:44:55,333 --> 01:44:58,572
Speaker 24: was walking along Lampton Tea and Wellington and there was

2116
01:44:58,692 --> 01:45:02,893
Speaker 24: no veranda above him at that stage, but building operations

2117
01:45:03,013 --> 01:45:06,253
Speaker 24: going on above him, a three of four floors above him,

2118
01:45:06,692 --> 01:45:08,852
Speaker 24: and all of a sudden that of the one of

2119
01:45:08,933 --> 01:45:13,772
Speaker 24: those who just settled in guess thinks, fell down and

2120
01:45:14,053 --> 01:45:16,173
Speaker 24: crest him for the foot path beside him, and it

2121
01:45:16,333 --> 01:45:20,852
Speaker 24: actually brushed his side as that came. So, I mean

2122
01:45:21,853 --> 01:45:23,333
Speaker 24: I think he had to sit on the.

2123
01:45:25,933 --> 01:45:28,492
Speaker 2: Did he get a sorry from above? Sorry?

2124
01:45:28,933 --> 01:45:33,812
Speaker 24: Oh I can't remember, I honestly can't. But that was

2125
01:45:34,013 --> 01:45:37,333
Speaker 24: so he was taken up for a few days. I

2126
01:45:37,452 --> 01:45:38,053
Speaker 24: can tell you.

2127
01:45:38,853 --> 01:45:41,532
Speaker 2: Thanks for sharing that, Jill. Yeah, I mean, you know,

2128
01:45:41,812 --> 01:45:44,212
Speaker 2: great for your husband that he survived. You can imagine

2129
01:45:44,213 --> 01:45:45,973
Speaker 2: that feeling if you're the person that's dropped it.

2130
01:45:46,572 --> 01:45:50,612
Speaker 3: And then you go to the dropping thinking and go, well,

2131
01:45:50,893 --> 01:45:51,812
Speaker 3: run at.

2132
01:45:51,853 --> 01:45:56,532
Speaker 2: Least at miss Jill's husband, at least at miss Great story, John,

2133
01:45:56,612 --> 01:45:59,132
Speaker 2: you've had a couple of miraculous escapes.

2134
01:46:00,973 --> 01:46:03,012
Speaker 20: Actually got mine line?

2135
01:46:04,933 --> 01:46:07,812
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, good start, yep.

2136
01:46:08,933 --> 01:46:14,133
Speaker 20: Probably the most interesting one was a bull. He was

2137
01:46:14,772 --> 01:46:17,812
Speaker 20: three feet away from me, but I went out to

2138
01:46:17,853 --> 01:46:19,492
Speaker 20: get him back in there and the pen. So I

2139
01:46:19,772 --> 01:46:21,933
Speaker 20: put a chain back on him, and he put his

2140
01:46:22,013 --> 01:46:23,092
Speaker 20: head down and charged.

2141
01:46:23,572 --> 01:46:23,772
Speaker 10: Well.

2142
01:46:23,933 --> 01:46:26,532
Speaker 20: The pipe I had in my hand was a two

2143
01:46:26,572 --> 01:46:30,333
Speaker 20: and a half inch drain pipe, and I picked it

2144
01:46:30,452 --> 01:46:33,572
Speaker 20: up over my head and came down and I dropped

2145
01:46:33,612 --> 01:46:35,892
Speaker 20: it on his head and he dropped my feet.

2146
01:46:36,133 --> 01:46:38,652
Speaker 3: You're a brave man, so just just to row back

2147
01:46:38,652 --> 01:46:40,173
Speaker 3: a little bit, John, You had to get the chain

2148
01:46:40,293 --> 01:46:42,452
Speaker 3: back on the ball, and all that you were armed

2149
01:46:42,492 --> 01:46:45,053
Speaker 3: with was a pipe, yep.

2150
01:46:45,293 --> 01:46:48,612
Speaker 20: Because I used to keep him of a chain through

2151
01:46:48,732 --> 01:46:52,093
Speaker 20: the round his horns and on through his nose, and

2152
01:46:52,293 --> 01:46:56,812
Speaker 20: you could control him. It was safe. But he was

2153
01:46:56,853 --> 01:46:58,892
Speaker 20: a very well read bull and I didn't really want

2154
01:46:58,933 --> 01:47:02,133
Speaker 20: to get rid of him. But one more chance after

2155
01:47:02,213 --> 01:47:04,213
Speaker 20: that and he went down the road, so you just

2156
01:47:04,293 --> 01:47:05,412
Speaker 20: don't make around.

2157
01:47:05,612 --> 01:47:08,452
Speaker 2: Right, So he was okay, So John. He was k

2158
01:47:08,612 --> 01:47:12,892
Speaker 2: after the pipe between on the forehead, but didn't calm

2159
01:47:12,973 --> 01:47:14,173
Speaker 2: down as a bull.

2160
01:47:16,093 --> 01:47:18,572
Speaker 20: He is down the road with them. I think about

2161
01:47:18,612 --> 01:47:23,692
Speaker 20: six months went to the works. They had two track

2162
01:47:23,772 --> 01:47:25,053
Speaker 20: to rollovers.

2163
01:47:26,253 --> 01:47:29,532
Speaker 3: Yep too, and the one of them.

2164
01:47:31,013 --> 01:47:35,333
Speaker 20: Was They were both involuntary. But I was going around

2165
01:47:35,372 --> 01:47:37,612
Speaker 20: a paddock that I knew it I cut every year,

2166
01:47:37,893 --> 01:47:40,333
Speaker 20: but this time there was a little bank. The bulls

2167
01:47:40,492 --> 01:47:43,933
Speaker 20: rubbed in a bank can and it flipped and I

2168
01:47:44,013 --> 01:47:46,932
Speaker 20: got shot out of the seat, landed on the ground

2169
01:47:47,492 --> 01:47:51,013
Speaker 20: track that came nearly on top of me. But the

2170
01:47:51,133 --> 01:47:53,572
Speaker 20: cutterbell and the marr stopped the rolling over on top.

2171
01:47:54,452 --> 01:47:58,213
Speaker 20: And the other one was feeding out on a slippery hill,

2172
01:47:58,612 --> 01:48:01,092
Speaker 20: had no business being there because they had bear tires.

2173
01:48:01,732 --> 01:48:04,612
Speaker 20: And I felt the thing sliding sideways down the hill

2174
01:48:04,732 --> 01:48:07,253
Speaker 20: track and I got up on the seat and jumped

2175
01:48:07,732 --> 01:48:11,372
Speaker 20: and jumped downhill. You always jumped downhill and then watched

2176
01:48:11,412 --> 01:48:12,412
Speaker 20: to roll into the creek.

2177
01:48:13,213 --> 01:48:16,892
Speaker 3: John. You're a bit of a loose unit, don't you, yep.

2178
01:48:19,093 --> 01:48:22,492
Speaker 20: You another MIDI chased me in the bush once and

2179
01:48:24,093 --> 01:48:26,572
Speaker 20: I got gym between the tree and the bank, and

2180
01:48:26,692 --> 01:48:31,572
Speaker 20: there's only or two feet yep. But some here she

2181
01:48:31,692 --> 01:48:33,812
Speaker 20: got past and I got squashed.

2182
01:48:35,372 --> 01:48:37,972
Speaker 2: Well, so good to have you here, John, So good.

2183
01:48:38,013 --> 01:48:42,173
Speaker 3: You've survived all that, a lot of ball situations in solf.

2184
01:48:42,412 --> 01:48:45,293
Speaker 3: But when you see it voluntary rolling of the track

2185
01:48:45,333 --> 01:48:48,012
Speaker 3: that no one rolls a tractor on purpose. John, you're great.

2186
01:48:48,293 --> 01:48:50,812
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mary, you're next un at the tip.

2187
01:48:51,893 --> 01:48:55,492
Speaker 22: Yeah, this was back in the UK, and when you

2188
01:48:55,572 --> 01:48:58,893
Speaker 22: went to the tip you were there were bays and

2189
01:48:58,973 --> 01:49:02,013
Speaker 22: you were allocated. The bay that you went to, we

2190
01:49:02,173 --> 01:49:06,852
Speaker 22: were emptying our trailer and the next compartment they all

2191
01:49:06,933 --> 01:49:12,333
Speaker 22: had sleeper walls between you. And in the next compartment

2192
01:49:12,572 --> 01:49:15,612
Speaker 22: the big factor with a huge bucket on the front

2193
01:49:16,452 --> 01:49:21,013
Speaker 22: came tearing in to that bay and just hit the

2194
01:49:21,173 --> 01:49:24,612
Speaker 22: pile of rubbish and there was huge pieces of four

2195
01:49:24,812 --> 01:49:28,293
Speaker 22: two and I had my back to it. And if

2196
01:49:28,572 --> 01:49:32,053
Speaker 22: my husband shouted duck, and if I had questioned him,

2197
01:49:32,532 --> 01:49:35,772
Speaker 22: I wouldn't be here today because the four B two

2198
01:49:35,853 --> 01:49:38,692
Speaker 22: splintered and shot straight over and I've got the scars

2199
01:49:38,933 --> 01:49:39,612
Speaker 22: under my chin.

2200
01:49:39,853 --> 01:49:40,093
Speaker 5: Wow.

2201
01:49:40,133 --> 01:49:42,093
Speaker 22: Wow, they took my head off.

2202
01:49:42,492 --> 01:49:44,412
Speaker 2: So basically, if he'd said duck and you said why

2203
01:49:44,732 --> 01:49:50,133
Speaker 2: then Mary? Yeah, yeah, well yeah, has he been right

2204
01:49:50,133 --> 01:49:51,932
Speaker 2: about most other things? Or is this one off?

2205
01:49:53,053 --> 01:49:53,972
Speaker 22: One off? I'm afraid.

01:50:27,652 --> 01:50:29,893
Speaker 2: listen to this year. She loves it, loves it. I

2219
01:50:29,933 --> 01:50:31,492
Speaker 2: mean I've had a few. I had a really hairy

2220
01:50:31,532 --> 01:50:35,013
Speaker 2: one going into Alexandra. You know, Central Tago. You come

2221
01:50:35,053 --> 01:50:36,973
Speaker 2: around the corner heading down towards the bridge, and then

2222
01:50:36,973 --> 01:50:39,652
Speaker 2: you suddenly realize you're own black ice. That's that's that

2223
01:50:40,093 --> 01:50:43,333
Speaker 2: is steep, That is steep. That is terrifying, terrifying situation.

2224
01:50:44,053 --> 01:50:47,932
Speaker 3: Diane. Now you had two car accidents in a very

2225
01:50:47,973 --> 01:50:48,812
Speaker 3: short space of time.

2226
01:50:49,973 --> 01:50:54,173
Speaker 23: Yes, that's great. I was on a motorbike with a

2227
01:50:54,293 --> 01:50:59,093
Speaker 23: friend of mine who wasn't a very experienced rider, and

2228
01:50:59,293 --> 01:51:03,692
Speaker 23: we smashed into a fience. So he broke his collar

2229
01:51:03,772 --> 01:51:09,572
Speaker 23: bone and my injuries were mainly turfercent. But because he

2230
01:51:09,612 --> 01:51:12,532
Speaker 23: had broken the collar bone, the doctor said we had

2231
01:51:12,572 --> 01:51:13,653
Speaker 23: to go to the hospital.

2232
01:51:14,133 --> 01:51:14,213
Speaker 13: Ye.

2233
01:51:14,732 --> 01:51:17,412
Speaker 23: So a friend of ours was taking us to hospital

2234
01:51:17,452 --> 01:51:20,652
Speaker 23: in the car and we rolled the car on the

2235
01:51:20,692 --> 01:51:23,532
Speaker 23: way to hospital. We both got thrown out of the

2236
01:51:23,652 --> 01:51:29,452
Speaker 23: car and I actually recall yelling out as I was

2237
01:51:29,612 --> 01:51:36,452
Speaker 23: rolling along the road. Not again, not again. And he,

2238
01:51:37,013 --> 01:51:41,013
Speaker 23: unfortunately was very ill. He was in the commerce for

2239
01:51:41,213 --> 01:51:46,492
Speaker 23: seven weeks. I wasn't quite so bad, but yeah, dodged

2240
01:51:46,572 --> 01:51:47,333
Speaker 23: a bullet there.

2241
01:51:47,612 --> 01:51:48,892
Speaker 3: He certainly did well.

2242
01:51:48,973 --> 01:51:50,213
Speaker 2: Great to have you still with us.

2243
01:51:50,293 --> 01:51:51,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.

2244
01:51:51,253 --> 01:51:53,333
Speaker 2: I was in a coma for two months. I had

2245
01:51:53,372 --> 01:51:55,133
Speaker 2: a car crash in Australia. I had a fight with

2246
01:51:55,213 --> 01:51:57,293
Speaker 2: the kangaroo. I had to learn how to walk and

2247
01:51:57,412 --> 01:51:58,692
Speaker 2: talk again, that's from Tom.

2248
01:51:59,053 --> 01:51:59,572
Speaker 3: The same day.

2249
01:51:59,812 --> 01:52:02,173
Speaker 2: So I was gonna cover for a car crash, and

2250
01:52:02,213 --> 01:52:05,372
Speaker 2: I think surely the fight with the kangaroo as heading

2251
01:52:05,412 --> 01:52:07,532
Speaker 2: the kangaroo. I need more details in the story.

Speaker 2: Get a car, had a kangaroo and then get out

2254
01:52:11,532 --> 01:52:12,772
Speaker 2: of car and have a fight with it, or.

2255
01:52:12,732 --> 01:52:14,452
Speaker 3: The kangaroo was waiting on the side of the road

2256
01:52:14,532 --> 01:52:16,333
Speaker 3: saying you can't do that, and then challenged you.

2257
01:52:16,612 --> 01:52:19,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, fisty cufs of the kangaroo. You know, we've all

2258

2275
01:53:14,853 --> 01:53:17,253
Speaker 15: So I was a pedestrian that got hit by a

2276
01:53:17,333 --> 01:53:21,772
Speaker 15: car on more House av in christ Church, probably just

2277
01:53:21,893 --> 01:53:26,013
Speaker 15: over a decade ago and had a seventy eight kilometers

2278
01:53:26,173 --> 01:53:29,852
Speaker 15: going by the place report and yeah, so that was

2279
01:53:29,893 --> 01:53:31,933
Speaker 15: a near death experience. Put me in a coma for

2280
01:53:32,013 --> 01:53:37,772
Speaker 15: a bit. But the kicker was thinking my pants down? Right?

2281
01:53:38,013 --> 01:53:41,093
Speaker 2: Okay, why why were your pants down?

2282
01:53:42,253 --> 01:53:42,452
Speaker 23: Yeah?

2283
01:53:42,532 --> 01:53:45,812
Speaker 15: Good question. I actually only know the story as it's

2284
01:53:45,853 --> 01:53:48,892
Speaker 15: been retold to me from friends because I was nineteen

2285
01:53:48,933 --> 01:53:51,133
Speaker 15: at the time, and I'm sure, like a lot of

2286
01:53:51,173 --> 01:53:53,772
Speaker 15: other nineteen year olds did or still do a drink

2287
01:53:53,812 --> 01:53:57,972
Speaker 15: to excess and sometimes lost my memory and I don't

2288
01:53:57,973 --> 01:54:00,852
Speaker 15: even remember leaving the pre drinks that night, So I

2289
01:54:00,893 --> 01:54:04,772
Speaker 15: obviously got pretty hammered early and then was went down

2290
01:54:04,853 --> 01:54:06,932
Speaker 15: with my friends and we obviously all walked our home

2291
01:54:06,973 --> 01:54:10,213
Speaker 15: from town as we lived in Waltham, and I think

2292
01:54:10,253 --> 01:54:12,293
Speaker 15: it was about three a m. And we were just

2293
01:54:12,372 --> 01:54:16,253
Speaker 15: coming across more House ev going up Gason Street. People

2294
01:54:16,293 --> 01:54:20,213
Speaker 15: know where that is, and there was no cars on

2295
01:54:20,253 --> 01:54:22,772
Speaker 15: the road pretty much, this is what I'm told, and

2296
01:54:23,253 --> 01:54:25,652
Speaker 15: one of my other friends and I when we were

2297
01:54:25,692 --> 01:54:27,772
Speaker 15: crossing the road, we just pulled our pants down and

2298
01:54:27,893 --> 01:54:31,772
Speaker 15: mooned the oncoming traffic, which was which there wasn't really

2299
01:54:31,812 --> 01:54:35,293
Speaker 15: any of. And yeah, I think one guy sort of

2300
01:54:35,333 --> 01:54:38,093
Speaker 15: spit up to dry and give me a fright, And

2301
01:54:38,213 --> 01:54:42,293
Speaker 15: I probably stayed on the road too long, too drunk,

2302
01:54:42,772 --> 01:54:45,933
Speaker 15: and then realized at the last minute and tried to

2303
01:54:46,213 --> 01:54:47,772
Speaker 15: jump out of the way and he went just with

2304
01:54:47,973 --> 01:54:49,053
Speaker 15: the same way to miss me in.

2305
01:54:51,293 --> 01:54:53,653
Speaker 2: So did you get did you get hit from the

2306
01:54:53,733 --> 01:54:54,373
Speaker 2: moon side?

2307
01:54:55,853 --> 01:54:57,932
