00:01:30,373 --> 00:01:34,253
Speaker 2: get some perspective on how successful and awesome some kiwis are.

22
00:01:35,053 --> 00:01:37,213
Speaker 2: This duo has had eight years off, then out of

23
00:01:37,212 --> 00:01:39,533
Speaker 2: the blue they announced four shows and they're sold out

24
00:01:39,572 --> 00:01:43,572
Speaker 2: in minutes. Two Wellington based blokes with guitars who twenty

25
00:01:43,652 --> 00:01:46,053
Speaker 2: years ago when global with one of the funniest TV

26
00:01:46,133 --> 00:01:50,013
Speaker 2: shows ever made, and their funny little songs still sell

27
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:53,573
Speaker 2: out all over the planet. Amusingly, they had to watch

28
00:01:53,653 --> 00:01:56,613
Speaker 2: YouTube clips to remember how to play their own tunes.

33
00:02:13,973 --> 00:02:20,973
Speaker 2: You are one of our cylinders of the week. In

34
00:02:21,013 --> 00:02:23,213
Speaker 2: a world where so many of us have lost control

35
00:02:23,293 --> 00:02:25,613
Speaker 2: and chosen to doom scroll the best years of our

36
00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:28,613
Speaker 2: lives away, where so many in our fine nation have

37
00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:33,333
Speaker 2: become dangerously addicted to the dopamine hits from cooked up overseas.

38
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:34,532
Speaker 3: News rage bait.

39
00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:38,253
Speaker 2: Well, in that world, the MP for Funga Paroa delivered

40
00:02:38,293 --> 00:02:41,013
Speaker 2: a very important sobering message this week.

41
00:02:41,293 --> 00:02:43,253
Speaker 4: I've got a really simple philosophy on this is that

42
00:02:43,293 --> 00:02:45,773
Speaker 4: we must stay laser focused on the things that we

43
00:02:45,853 --> 00:02:49,893
Speaker 4: can control and largely monitor what we can't and how

44
00:02:49,933 --> 00:02:52,373
Speaker 4: it might impact us in the future. And we've got

45
00:02:52,413 --> 00:02:53,733
Speaker 4: to get on with it. We've got to accept the

46
00:02:53,773 --> 00:02:56,093
Speaker 4: fact that the world has changed. We're a small countries in

47
00:02:56,133 --> 00:02:58,333
Speaker 4: the bottom of the world, knowing osis are living. We've

48
00:02:58,333 --> 00:02:59,653
Speaker 4: got to get on the things. We've got to do

49
00:02:59,693 --> 00:03:01,813
Speaker 4: the best that we can, and that means focused on

50
00:03:01,853 --> 00:03:02,452
Speaker 4: the things.

51
00:03:02,213 --> 00:03:04,412
Speaker 1: That we can control and talking about the.

52
00:03:04,373 --> 00:03:07,012
Speaker 4: Things that we can do, rather than getting lost in

53
00:03:07,093 --> 00:03:09,573
Speaker 4: all the moushy of what's happening internationally. For worlds has

54
00:03:09,653 --> 00:03:11,573
Speaker 4: changed and it's not going back, and we just got

55
00:03:11,653 --> 00:03:12,813
Speaker 4: to accept it and get it on it.

56
00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:16,532
Speaker 2: That's the good stuff idea. Imagine what New Zealand could

57
00:03:16,532 --> 00:03:18,853
Speaker 2: get done. How much better all our lives would be

58
00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:21,133
Speaker 2: if we cleaned up and spend a bit more time

59
00:03:21,173 --> 00:03:23,813
Speaker 2: focused on fixing things in front of us, the stuff

60
00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:26,813
Speaker 2: we actually have the ability to do something about right now,

61
00:03:27,293 --> 00:03:29,573
Speaker 2: rather than hooked on the things we can't do.

62
00:03:31,693 --> 00:03:32,053
