Speaker 2: you for tuning into our show. We have a I'm

24
00:01:14,652 --> 00:01:17,853
Speaker 2: going to say, well above average three hours of radio plan.

25
00:01:17,773 --> 00:01:19,893
Speaker 3: I'd agree with that. Yeah, you're lucky. Lucky people. Well

26
00:01:19,932 --> 00:01:22,012
Speaker 3: above beverage is pretty good. Now, mate, you were talking

27
00:01:22,053 --> 00:01:24,293
Speaker 3: about on Friday you were set for quite a big

28
00:01:24,373 --> 00:01:25,733
Speaker 3: run on Sunday.

29
00:01:25,973 --> 00:01:28,013
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, that's not on the air. I was

30
00:01:28,053 --> 00:01:30,533
Speaker 2: talking to you about privately. Yeah, part of my training

31
00:01:30,572 --> 00:01:32,053
Speaker 2: for a marathon. At the end of the hour, yep,

32
00:01:32,773 --> 00:01:36,212
Speaker 2: planning to do a thirty k run around Auckland.

33
00:01:36,093 --> 00:01:37,732
Speaker 3: Just just on my own volition. And how'd you go?

34
00:01:38,813 --> 00:01:40,773
Speaker 2: Look, it went really well. I was running up the

35
00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:45,012
Speaker 2: Northwestern Motorway, up the cycle track, that way walking track,

36
00:01:45,093 --> 00:01:50,053
Speaker 2: and into an incredibly strong wind with torrential rain blasting

37
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:53,093
Speaker 2: me right in the face. And I stuck that out

38
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:55,813
Speaker 2: and kept running and you know, to get my k's up.

39
00:01:56,493 --> 00:01:56,733
Speaker 3: Yep.

40
00:01:57,093 --> 00:01:59,693
Speaker 2: But then my T shirt, my single got really wet,

41
00:02:00,013 --> 00:02:01,653
Speaker 2: and then as it starts to dry out, I mean,

42
00:02:01,693 --> 00:02:04,653
Speaker 2: how do I put this politely? The chafing caused my

43
00:02:04,733 --> 00:02:09,973
Speaker 2: nipples to believe, and that's something that runners will have

44
00:02:10,053 --> 00:02:13,333
Speaker 2: probably been will be familiar with. Yeah, so I should

45
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:15,373
Speaker 2: have take those bad boys up. I really should have,

46
00:02:16,253 --> 00:02:18,373
Speaker 2: because it made the next twenty k of that run

47
00:02:19,653 --> 00:02:20,373
Speaker 2: quite challenging.

48
00:02:20,453 --> 00:02:22,213
Speaker 3: That is a hard thing to predict if it's never

49
00:02:22,252 --> 00:02:24,573
Speaker 3: happened to you before. And as you say, Sunday she

50
00:02:24,693 --> 00:02:27,733
Speaker 3: was full noise weatherwise, but then to get the old

51
00:02:27,972 --> 00:02:30,852
Speaker 3: chafing nipples. Yeah, as you say, hey, this is something

52
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:32,813
Speaker 3: for a runners, a piece of advice. And I'm not

53
00:02:32,893 --> 00:02:35,252
Speaker 3: sure how many runners are out there, long distance runners,

54
00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:37,053
Speaker 3: you know, if you can call me a long distance runner.

55
00:02:37,093 --> 00:02:40,693
Speaker 2: That was a twenty six k run. Yeah, yeah, yep.

56
00:02:40,733 --> 00:02:45,093
Speaker 2: But if you plan out your run to the drinking

57
00:02:45,133 --> 00:02:47,773
Speaker 2: fountains so you can look up at line where drinking

58
00:02:47,813 --> 00:02:49,333
Speaker 2: fountains are, and then you don't have to run with

59
00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:52,933
Speaker 2: one of those camel packs packs for hydration. Yeah, you

60
00:02:53,613 --> 00:02:56,213
Speaker 2: just map it out and do a run that every

61
00:02:56,693 --> 00:03:00,813
Speaker 2: you know, five to ten k there's a drinking fountain. Yeah,

62
00:03:00,893 --> 00:03:02,572
Speaker 2: that's just such a smart way to do it. A

63
00:03:02,613 --> 00:03:05,573
Speaker 2: friend of mine who's a very successful runner, pointed that

64
00:03:05,573 --> 00:03:06,373
Speaker 2: out to me in the weekend.

65
00:03:06,573 --> 00:03:08,053
Speaker 3: That is a great thing. But you spent so much

66
00:03:08,093 --> 00:03:11,013
Speaker 3: money on that week camel pack and you look, you

67
00:03:11,053 --> 00:03:11,893
Speaker 3: love it now, don't you.

68
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:16,093
Speaker 2: I think there's something humiliating about running as slow as

69
00:03:16,093 --> 00:03:18,453
Speaker 2: I do. This is the term all the gears and

70
00:03:18,493 --> 00:03:21,413
Speaker 2: no ideas, So I'm always when I'm not that great

71
00:03:21,453 --> 00:03:26,133
Speaker 2: at something. I don't like to spend too much, you know. Yeah,

72
00:03:26,213 --> 00:03:27,972
Speaker 2: it's like when you come out to bat and you've

73
00:03:28,013 --> 00:03:31,452
Speaker 2: got like a really flash cricket bat and you get

74
00:03:31,532 --> 00:03:34,173
Speaker 2: cleaned out. Yeah, second delivery, y. You know this is

75
00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:35,373
Speaker 2: about that.

76
00:03:35,733 --> 00:03:38,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want the worst gear possible just in case. Yeah.

77
00:03:38,893 --> 00:03:42,013
Speaker 3: Right on to today's show after three o'clock. An interesting

78
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:45,333
Speaker 3: question that you saw online, man, and I think this

79
00:03:45,453 --> 00:03:47,613
Speaker 3: is going to be a great conversation. What improved your

80
00:03:47,693 --> 00:03:50,373
Speaker 3: quality of life so much you'd wish you'd done it sooner?

81
00:03:50,733 --> 00:03:52,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, So at some point in your life you discover

82
00:03:52,853 --> 00:03:55,293
Speaker 2: something that you add to your life and you go,

83
00:03:55,413 --> 00:03:57,933
Speaker 2: oh my god, I've wasted twenty five years without this

84
00:03:58,733 --> 00:04:03,773
Speaker 2: piece of philosophy, this bit of advice, this device potentially,

85
00:04:04,053 --> 00:04:06,773
Speaker 2: whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, I think there'd be a

86
00:04:06,773 --> 00:04:08,013
Speaker 2: great chat after.

87
00:04:07,773 --> 00:04:10,213
Speaker 3: Three, looking forward to that. After two o'clock, we want

88
00:04:10,253 --> 00:04:13,613
Speaker 3: to talk about an opinion piece by Verdi Johnson. So

89
00:04:13,693 --> 00:04:16,293
Speaker 3: in the article, her friend had a very blunt claim,

90
00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:19,653
Speaker 3: New Zealand's broken and you're dumb to stay.

91
00:04:20,173 --> 00:04:24,253
Speaker 2: New Zealand is broken and you're dumb to stay. Wow,

92
00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:27,813
Speaker 2: that is I find that quite intense to say that

93
00:04:27,813 --> 00:04:30,853
Speaker 2: that you're not only are you struggling potentially, but you're

94
00:04:30,933 --> 00:04:33,373
Speaker 2: dumb to continue the struggle in the country that you're in.

95
00:04:33,813 --> 00:04:36,213
Speaker 3: It's very defeative, isn't it. I mean the article was

96
00:04:36,253 --> 00:04:38,533
Speaker 3: mentioning and we do know there's been thousands of New

97
00:04:38,613 --> 00:04:40,733
Speaker 3: Zealanders that have upsticked and tried to make it go

98
00:04:40,773 --> 00:04:43,493
Speaker 3: of life in Australia or other places around the world.

99
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:45,893
Speaker 3: But to say that if you don't get out of

100
00:04:45,933 --> 00:04:48,853
Speaker 3: New Zealand you're an idiot because nothing is going on here.

101
00:04:48,893 --> 00:04:50,133
Speaker 3: What a defeatist atitude?

102
00:04:50,133 --> 00:04:54,493
Speaker 2: Well what about this text are from this couple that

103
00:04:54,493 --> 00:04:56,893
Speaker 2: are originally from England that came here fourteen years ago,

104
00:04:57,413 --> 00:04:59,333
Speaker 2: and they say a place is what you make it.

105
00:04:59,373 --> 00:05:01,813
Speaker 2: If you can't make it here, then honestly you'll struggle

106
00:05:01,893 --> 00:05:05,573
Speaker 2: anywhere else. Yeah, I think there's something to that, right.

107
00:05:06,413 --> 00:05:08,973
Speaker 2: I think, you know, for a start, not dumb to

108
00:05:09,013 --> 00:05:10,893
Speaker 2: be in New Zealand in terms of countries in the world.

109
00:05:10,893 --> 00:05:12,453
Speaker 2: Even if we've got our problems at the moment, in

110
00:05:12,493 --> 00:05:14,613
Speaker 2: my opinion, it's still a fantastic place.

111
00:05:14,413 --> 00:05:15,893
Speaker 3: To live, so much going for it.

112
00:05:16,373 --> 00:05:20,013
Speaker 2: Secondly, you know, up upping sticks and going somewhere else

113
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:22,773
Speaker 2: and running away from the fight may suggest you're not

114
00:05:22,813 --> 00:05:24,173
Speaker 2: the type of person that's up for the fight.

115
00:05:24,333 --> 00:05:25,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ondred percent, I mean it's.

116
00:05:25,853 --> 00:05:28,333
Speaker 2: Sure go for better options because you can see out

117
00:05:28,333 --> 00:05:29,893
Speaker 2: there and you want to express yourself. I'm not going

118
00:05:29,933 --> 00:05:32,013
Speaker 2: to hassle someone for that. Yeah, But to be dumb

119
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:35,133
Speaker 2: to stay here, I don't know. I think I think

120
00:05:35,173 --> 00:05:37,493
Speaker 2: if you've, if you've, I think you can make it work.

121
00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:37,693
Speaker 4: Now.

122
00:05:37,733 --> 00:05:40,013
Speaker 2: I think there's enough people making it work that it

123
00:05:40,053 --> 00:05:41,333
Speaker 2: is possible to make it work.

124
00:05:42,053 --> 00:05:44,493
Speaker 3: Looking forward to your thoughts on that after two o'clock.

125
00:05:44,533 --> 00:05:46,813
Speaker 3: But right now, let's have a chat about the new

126
00:05:46,933 --> 00:05:50,333
Speaker 3: seventy million dollar fun to lure international acts like Coldplay,

127
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:53,213
Speaker 3: Pool Jam, Taylor Swift and many more to this country.

128
00:05:53,373 --> 00:05:55,573
Speaker 3: So forty million dollars of that will be set aside

129
00:05:55,613 --> 00:05:59,933
Speaker 3: to secure major events, plus extra for regional tourism and infrastructure.

130
00:05:59,973 --> 00:06:02,973
Speaker 3: The goal is to compete with Australia, pump life into

131
00:06:03,053 --> 00:06:07,133
Speaker 3: local economies and attract more international visitors. So Brenda eckles,

132
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:10,413
Speaker 3: he's one of our most successful event promoters and here's

133
00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:12,493
Speaker 3: what he said to my cost in this morning.

134
00:06:12,613 --> 00:06:15,653
Speaker 5: It's just a phrase. The cost of large shows coming

135
00:06:15,653 --> 00:06:17,693
Speaker 5: to New Zealand. So I guess in a sense the

136
00:06:17,813 --> 00:06:21,693
Speaker 5: artist benefits from it. The promoter doesn't really, But it's

137
00:06:21,693 --> 00:06:24,053
Speaker 5: the cover of things like the fact that our dollar

138
00:06:24,133 --> 00:06:26,853
Speaker 5: is weak against the US dollar. Most deals done in

139
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:29,613
Speaker 5: the US dollars. Freight costs have gone through the roof

140
00:06:29,653 --> 00:06:32,373
Speaker 5: production costs and stage and such like. In the case

141
00:06:32,373 --> 00:06:33,893
Speaker 5: of Taylor Swift that was never going to come to

142
00:06:33,973 --> 00:06:36,733
Speaker 5: New Zealand. It only went to Malwoom, Sydney, didn't do Brisbane,

143
00:06:36,733 --> 00:06:39,613
Speaker 5: Adelaide or Perth. It would not have worked in even part.

144
00:06:39,813 --> 00:06:41,853
Speaker 5: But there are many many other artists who I think

145
00:06:41,893 --> 00:06:45,213
Speaker 5: you'll find you with this fund. In the next three

146
00:06:45,253 --> 00:06:48,733
Speaker 5: months or so, we'll read more announcements for next summer.

147
00:06:49,133 --> 00:06:51,653
Speaker 5: I think the government's recognized it's so good for the

148
00:06:51,653 --> 00:06:54,093
Speaker 5: psyche of New Zealand they have these shows come. Plus

149
00:06:54,213 --> 00:06:57,013
Speaker 5: all the associated businesses profit from it too. It's good

150
00:06:57,053 --> 00:06:58,573
Speaker 5: for everybody.

151
00:06:57,893 --> 00:07:01,173
Speaker 6: It's a subsidy, isn't it.

152
00:07:01,733 --> 00:07:03,933
Speaker 5: Yeah, in a way it is, but it's the cost

153
00:07:03,933 --> 00:07:05,893
Speaker 5: of getting to New Zealand and putting on that show.

154
00:07:05,933 --> 00:07:07,973
Speaker 5: In New Zealand, there's a whole lot of new artists

155
00:07:08,013 --> 00:07:11,253
Speaker 5: in a coming through now that are playing stadiums, not arenas,

156
00:07:11,253 --> 00:07:14,133
Speaker 5: not Spark Arena, but anyt in Park or Western Springs

157
00:07:14,133 --> 00:07:17,693
Speaker 5: will go media type venue. They're starting to come through

158
00:07:17,733 --> 00:07:19,453
Speaker 5: now and we need to make sure that we get

159
00:07:19,453 --> 00:07:21,693
Speaker 5: them to New zealanm Not only that, we're going to

160
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:25,293
Speaker 5: have two great markets now. Closest is coming on very

161
00:07:25,373 --> 00:07:27,813
Speaker 5: very soon. That's a covered stadium that's going to change

162
00:07:27,813 --> 00:07:30,533
Speaker 5: the landscape as well. So I think it's a smart

163
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:31,453
Speaker 5: thing for the government to do.

164
00:07:31,773 --> 00:07:34,893
Speaker 3: So interesting comments there from brand Eckles. Smart thing for

165
00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:35,933
Speaker 3: the government to do.

166
00:07:36,133 --> 00:07:38,653
Speaker 2: This text is pushing back more fun for the rich. Well,

167
00:07:38,693 --> 00:07:40,893
Speaker 2: the rest of us can't afford to go to these

168
00:07:40,893 --> 00:07:43,573
Speaker 2: shows and we get nothing. Well, I mean the agment

169
00:07:43,693 --> 00:07:46,973
Speaker 2: is that there's an economic boost, so you know, there's

170
00:07:47,213 --> 00:07:50,293
Speaker 2: benefits for hospital and the people that are working there.

171
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:51,613
Speaker 2: So even if you're not going to the show, it's

172
00:07:51,613 --> 00:07:55,013
Speaker 2: not just about the artists or the event coming to

173
00:07:55,013 --> 00:07:58,213
Speaker 2: New Zealand and getting to see it. It's also about

174
00:07:58,253 --> 00:08:00,813
Speaker 2: their wider effect it has on the economy. Yeah, well,

175
00:08:01,093 --> 00:08:02,693
Speaker 2: you know, you don't have to be jealous of everything.

176
00:08:03,373 --> 00:08:05,013
Speaker 2: Just because someone's having a good time at a show

177
00:08:05,053 --> 00:08:07,693
Speaker 2: doesn't make your life less your miserable.

178
00:08:07,733 --> 00:08:11,533
Speaker 3: Sid But on that note, Eden Park CEO Nick Saunter.

179
00:08:11,613 --> 00:08:13,653
Speaker 3: He was on with Ryan Bridge and he said this

180
00:08:13,693 --> 00:08:14,573
Speaker 3: fund is sorting needed.

181
00:08:14,893 --> 00:08:17,973
Speaker 7: Well, we welcome the PM's announcement yesterday. This is great

182
00:08:17,973 --> 00:08:22,413
Speaker 7: news for business. Historically, music content hasn't been available to

183
00:08:22,613 --> 00:08:26,853
Speaker 7: attract funding from central government, so it hasn't been available

184
00:08:26,893 --> 00:08:30,813
Speaker 7: for us to go out and secure content. Globally, it's

185
00:08:30,853 --> 00:08:33,653
Speaker 7: been focused more on the sports and major event content

186
00:08:34,133 --> 00:08:37,053
Speaker 7: like World Cup. So this is a paradigm shift for us.

187
00:08:37,133 --> 00:08:39,733
Speaker 7: It makes us competitive with the East Coast of Australia.

188
00:08:40,173 --> 00:08:42,573
Speaker 7: Similar funds are available in the likes of Britain and

189
00:08:42,612 --> 00:08:46,013
Speaker 7: Sydney and Melbourne, so and we Eden Park is uniquely

190
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:48,293
Speaker 7: positioned now capitalize on this opportunity.

191
00:08:48,813 --> 00:08:51,453
Speaker 3: And that's one of the big points in this funding

192
00:08:51,453 --> 00:08:54,612
Speaker 3: announcement right is we've got to be more competitive with Australia.

193
00:08:54,693 --> 00:08:57,173
Speaker 3: They are getting some big international acts, we know that,

194
00:08:57,813 --> 00:09:00,012
Speaker 3: and they're missing us along the way. So unless we

195
00:09:00,093 --> 00:09:02,973
Speaker 3: can bring that competitive element to it, it's going to

196
00:09:03,012 --> 00:09:03,533
Speaker 3: keep happening.

197
00:09:03,612 --> 00:09:07,492
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and also you when there's a huge artist

198
00:09:07,612 --> 00:09:10,933
Speaker 2: that doesn't come to New Zealand, what do potentially ten

199
00:09:10,933 --> 00:09:14,093
Speaker 2: thousand New Zealanders do they upsticks, get on a plane,

200
00:09:14,213 --> 00:09:17,693
Speaker 2: go to Australia and blast all their cash into the

201
00:09:17,693 --> 00:09:18,613
Speaker 2: Australian economy.

202
00:09:18,732 --> 00:09:20,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, we want their cash, Yes, spend it here. But

203
00:09:20,813 --> 00:09:22,573
Speaker 3: what do you say? I wait, hundred and eighty ten

204
00:09:22,653 --> 00:09:25,613
Speaker 3: eighty Will this actually work? Can this funding boost really

205
00:09:25,693 --> 00:09:28,653
Speaker 3: change the game for New Zealand's events scene or do

206
00:09:28,693 --> 00:09:32,173
Speaker 3: you see this as just political glitter with no lasting payoff? Yeah?

207
00:09:32,213 --> 00:09:33,612
Speaker 2: I mean there seems to be a lot of people

208
00:09:33,653 --> 00:09:36,973
Speaker 2: texting through that seem quite anti event, which I didn't expect.

209
00:09:37,093 --> 00:09:39,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, keen on your views. I eight one hundred and

210
00:09:39,333 --> 00:09:41,013
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

211
00:09:41,612 --> 00:09:43,693
Speaker 2: And we've got our first. We can't pay for a

212
00:09:43,693 --> 00:09:47,693
Speaker 2: proper Dnedian hospital and you Aucklanders want to put on

213
00:09:47,732 --> 00:09:50,453
Speaker 2: more events. This isn't an Auckland thing. This is a

214
00:09:50,533 --> 00:09:53,813
Speaker 2: nationwide thing, so people that are getting confused here, it's

215
00:09:53,852 --> 00:09:56,612
Speaker 2: not an Auckland only event fund.

216
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:58,533
Speaker 3: It is for everywhere that was fast though in the

217
00:09:58,533 --> 00:09:59,653
Speaker 3: old Dunedan hospital.

218
00:10:00,012 --> 00:10:01,333
Speaker 2: I knew then in hospital would come in.

219
00:10:01,813 --> 00:10:05,973
Speaker 3: It is sixteen past one. Love to hear your thoughts, the.

220
00:10:06,012 --> 00:10:10,532
Speaker 1: Big stories, the big issues, trends and everything in between.

221
00:10:10,732 --> 00:10:13,973
Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks that'd be.

222
00:10:14,933 --> 00:10:17,533
Speaker 3: It's eighteen past one, so we're talking about the events

223
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:20,293
Speaker 3: funding boost of seventy million dollars. Forty million of that

224
00:10:20,372 --> 00:10:23,132
Speaker 3: will be set aside to lure the big international acts

225
00:10:23,173 --> 00:10:25,333
Speaker 3: here so they no longer buy pass New Zealand. What

226
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:27,173
Speaker 3: do you say, is that the kind of investment we

227
00:10:27,213 --> 00:10:29,412
Speaker 3: need right now or should the government focus else? We

228
00:10:29,492 --> 00:10:30,492
Speaker 3: are one hundred and eighty ten.

229
00:10:30,492 --> 00:10:33,013
Speaker 2: Eighty, Steve says, Hi, guys, subsidizing entertainment for keewis as

230
00:10:33,053 --> 00:10:35,132
Speaker 2: a waste. Just put the ticket prices up. The net

231
00:10:35,132 --> 00:10:38,853
Speaker 2: effect of a big act coming here is dollars times

232
00:10:38,973 --> 00:10:42,653
Speaker 2: million dollars x million transferred from our bank accounts in

233
00:10:42,693 --> 00:10:45,813
Speaker 2: New Zealand to theirs. Money that supports new money coming

234
00:10:45,852 --> 00:10:48,293
Speaker 2: to New Zealand is good. I the international sports tournaments,

235
00:10:48,533 --> 00:10:51,053
Speaker 2: a physics conference, a physics.

236
00:10:50,612 --> 00:10:52,372
Speaker 3: Conference, that's that's out of that.

237
00:10:53,933 --> 00:10:56,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there is that side of it that

238
00:10:56,933 --> 00:10:59,253
Speaker 2: you do dump whole lot of money even as a brand.

239
00:10:59,333 --> 00:11:01,213
Speaker 2: Hill said Taitay was never going to be able to

240
00:11:01,252 --> 00:11:03,453
Speaker 2: come to New Zealand because the logistics of it. Yeah,

241
00:11:03,573 --> 00:11:05,573
Speaker 2: but you know, you do dump a bunch of money

242
00:11:05,573 --> 00:11:09,653
Speaker 2: into Tata's account, you know, and the true and absolutely,

243
00:11:09,813 --> 00:11:14,492
Speaker 2: but also into the restaurants and bars in the area.

244
00:11:14,573 --> 00:11:17,573
Speaker 2: And isn't really just an economy taking money out of

245
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:19,892
Speaker 2: someone's account and putting and someone else do's something.

246
00:11:19,933 --> 00:11:21,533
Speaker 3: That's how it works, right, one hundred percent. You want

247
00:11:21,573 --> 00:11:23,813
Speaker 3: to get people out of their home, Yeah, opening up

248
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:26,213
Speaker 3: their wallet and spending some money because that flows through

249
00:11:26,213 --> 00:11:28,173
Speaker 3: the rest of the economy and starts to boost it up.

250
00:11:28,213 --> 00:11:29,893
Speaker 2: And if you're in a region, if you put something

251
00:11:29,933 --> 00:11:31,772
Speaker 2: on a christ ititch and people from other regions come out,

252
00:11:31,773 --> 00:11:34,492
Speaker 2: it helps some money to go for one region into another.

253
00:11:34,612 --> 00:11:37,213
Speaker 2: And maybe if people choose to spend money on an

254
00:11:37,213 --> 00:11:39,612
Speaker 2: event in New Zealand, they don't spend money on event overseas,

255
00:11:39,653 --> 00:11:42,453
Speaker 2: or they don't spend money on timu and where the

256
00:11:42,453 --> 00:11:43,813
Speaker 2: money just goes straight overseas.

257
00:11:43,892 --> 00:11:46,213
Speaker 3: Yep. Nicely said, Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty

258
00:11:46,293 --> 00:11:51,493
Speaker 3: is the numbered call get a job going very good?

259
00:11:51,492 --> 00:11:53,453
Speaker 3: And what are you reckon about this funding boost?

260
00:11:54,973 --> 00:11:58,012
Speaker 8: Well, I think it's probably a bit of unphar in

261
00:11:58,053 --> 00:12:00,653
Speaker 8: the sense that there's people not going to get to

262
00:12:00,773 --> 00:12:03,653
Speaker 8: use it. However, if you go to do it, yeah,

263
00:12:03,653 --> 00:12:07,013
Speaker 8: you should also support the New Zealand local banks and

264
00:12:07,132 --> 00:12:10,693
Speaker 8: have them as you're you know, what do you call

265
00:12:10,732 --> 00:12:12,892
Speaker 8: it the hot the cover bands or what if it's

266
00:12:12,892 --> 00:12:14,732
Speaker 8: not cover bands but your bands that come on first

267
00:12:15,053 --> 00:12:17,772
Speaker 8: before the main gig. So it advertises them around the

268
00:12:17,773 --> 00:12:21,173
Speaker 8: world and gives them put of a break or chance.

269
00:12:22,252 --> 00:12:24,693
Speaker 2: If someone came to this funding and said, look, they

270
00:12:24,732 --> 00:12:27,693
Speaker 2: wanted to put on the equivalent of say Homegrown a

271
00:12:27,732 --> 00:12:31,453
Speaker 2: new festival and I don't know, say christ Church with

272
00:12:31,573 --> 00:12:34,292
Speaker 2: a bunch of New Zealand bands, then surely that this

273
00:12:34,933 --> 00:12:38,253
Speaker 2: fund would be open to them, right, I hope. So

274
00:12:38,413 --> 00:12:40,693
Speaker 2: you'd hope that they could contest for it and say,

275
00:12:41,012 --> 00:12:42,933
Speaker 2: you know, we've got a good case here and it's

276
00:12:42,933 --> 00:12:44,813
Speaker 2: going to be all New Zealand bands, then that would

277
00:12:44,813 --> 00:12:47,733
Speaker 2: be pretty good. I mean homegrownings are very successful festival

278
00:12:47,852 --> 00:12:49,893
Speaker 2: Yeah yep.

279
00:12:50,252 --> 00:12:53,252
Speaker 8: But I even mean if you're bringing somebody open from overseas.

280
00:12:53,533 --> 00:12:56,492
Speaker 8: That's what gives these little bands of brain as you know,

281
00:12:56,573 --> 00:12:59,733
Speaker 8: the guys that kick off. It's the same as we

282
00:12:59,813 --> 00:13:02,773
Speaker 8: do with breaking and other stuff. You have the kidchens

283
00:13:02,852 --> 00:13:06,252
Speaker 8: or something like the brain and gives them, you know, confidence,

284
00:13:06,293 --> 00:13:08,253
Speaker 8: and gives them coverage and gives them all sorts of things.

285
00:13:08,453 --> 00:13:10,333
Speaker 2: So do you say we should we should mandate. We

286
00:13:11,132 --> 00:13:13,453
Speaker 2: should mandate John that when a band comes over, a

287
00:13:13,453 --> 00:13:15,932
Speaker 2: big band, that they have to have, you know, a

288
00:13:15,973 --> 00:13:18,252
Speaker 2: couple of Kiwi acts opening for them in front of

289
00:13:18,252 --> 00:13:18,813
Speaker 2: the big crowd.

290
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:22,612
Speaker 8: Not mandated. But if we're putting money in towards it,

291
00:13:22,693 --> 00:13:25,413
Speaker 8: why can't some of that money go towards supporting our

292
00:13:25,453 --> 00:13:26,252
Speaker 8: own local people.

293
00:13:26,453 --> 00:13:29,333
Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea. They definitely need support, you know,

294
00:13:29,413 --> 00:13:32,573
Speaker 3: our local music industry. It's tough out there, particularly for them.

295
00:13:32,732 --> 00:13:35,213
Speaker 2: Well when you're when you're getting you know, the tax

296
00:13:35,252 --> 00:13:39,293
Speaker 2: breaks that come with putting shooting a movie in New Zealand,

297
00:13:39,612 --> 00:13:42,133
Speaker 2: there are rules around making sure that you're employing New

298
00:13:42,213 --> 00:13:45,693
Speaker 2: Zealand is on it, and you know, you get New

299
00:13:45,773 --> 00:13:49,253
Speaker 2: Zealand actors in the situation. Yeah, so I mean maybe

300
00:13:49,252 --> 00:13:50,533
Speaker 2: you could say that you've got to if you're going

301
00:13:50,533 --> 00:13:52,893
Speaker 2: to bring over and I keep saying, you know, if

302
00:13:53,053 --> 00:13:55,852
Speaker 2: ac DC are playing here, then Alien Weaveronry have to open.

303
00:13:56,053 --> 00:13:58,252
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be a great opening for Acadeca.

304
00:13:58,293 --> 00:14:01,453
Speaker 2: And then you know, yeah, I mean the the you know,

305
00:14:01,533 --> 00:14:04,372
Speaker 2: the main actor doesn't care, they're not they're not even

306
00:14:04,413 --> 00:14:06,333
Speaker 2: at the stadium before the helicopter flies them.

307
00:14:06,213 --> 00:14:09,532
Speaker 3: In exactly oh eight hundred eighty two is the number

308
00:14:09,533 --> 00:14:11,492
Speaker 3: of call with spending forty million dollars to a track,

309
00:14:11,573 --> 00:14:15,373
Speaker 3: major event, a smart investment, or just political showmanship. If

310
00:14:15,453 --> 00:14:16,892
Speaker 3: you want to say to take ninety two nine two,

311
00:14:16,933 --> 00:14:18,453
Speaker 3: but love to hear from you on oh, eight hundred

312
00:14:18,453 --> 00:14:20,533
Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty. It's twenty two past one.

313
00:14:21,613 --> 00:14:25,453
Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the mic asking breakfast.

314
00:14:25,493 --> 00:14:28,173
Speaker 6: I'm minister Christopher Laxana is with us speaking of protests.

315
00:14:28,213 --> 00:14:31,133
Speaker 6: Who decides in this country to close the bridge when

316
00:14:31,173 --> 00:14:32,973
Speaker 6: people want to walk across it in protest?

317
00:14:33,053 --> 00:14:34,933
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, that's an NZTA decision.

318
00:14:35,093 --> 00:14:35,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, no it is.

319
00:14:35,773 --> 00:14:37,133
Speaker 6: But do you know the person and there and why

320
00:14:37,133 --> 00:14:38,893
Speaker 6: are they to do by time? Why are they allowed

321
00:14:38,893 --> 00:14:39,173
Speaker 6: to do that?

322
00:14:39,173 --> 00:14:39,293
Speaker 1: Well?

323
00:14:39,293 --> 00:14:40,453
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's the difference.

324
00:14:40,493 --> 00:14:42,173
Speaker 6: You mean, are you're the prime minister of this country.

325
00:14:42,493 --> 00:14:44,453
Speaker 6: How is it that somebody goes, oh, yeah, we'll just

326
00:14:44,493 --> 00:14:45,093
Speaker 6: close a bridge.

327
00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:46,933
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we're in an inconvenience to people.

328
00:14:46,933 --> 00:14:48,213
Speaker 2: Should there be something done about that?

329
00:14:48,253 --> 00:14:50,133
Speaker 6: If we can't trust the MZTA and the police to

330
00:14:50,173 --> 00:14:52,653
Speaker 6: make sensible decision, should you step in and go here

331
00:14:52,653 --> 00:14:54,172
Speaker 6: are some rules that you need to adhere to.

332
00:14:54,253 --> 00:14:55,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can have a look at it, but it's

333
00:14:55,693 --> 00:14:57,813
Speaker 2: enough other places that people can protest, and we want

334
00:14:57,813 --> 00:14:59,253
Speaker 2: people to be able to feel free to do so.

335
00:14:59,533 --> 00:15:02,373
Speaker 6: Back tomorrow at six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast with

336

337
00:15:05,733 --> 00:15:07,973
Speaker 3: Very good afternoon. You we're talking about these seventeen million

338
00:15:08,013 --> 00:15:10,213
Speaker 3: dollar f fund announced by the government. Forty million of

339
00:15:10,213 --> 00:15:12,973
Speaker 3: that will go to secure and in big international acts.

340
00:15:12,973 --> 00:15:15,133
Speaker 3: Do you think this is money well spent or do

341
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:17,133
Speaker 3: you think it's going to be harder to make work

342
00:15:17,173 --> 00:15:19,493
Speaker 3: than the government believes? One hundred and eighty ten eighty.

343
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:21,373
Speaker 2: The Stick says, God's so sick of rich wankers like

344
00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:24,052
Speaker 2: you two celebrating going to these concerts. Most people in

345
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,253
Speaker 2: New Zealand don't have enough to eat. We aren't going

346
00:15:26,253 --> 00:15:29,413
Speaker 2: to cold Play, so why would our taxes go to

347
00:15:29,573 --> 00:15:33,333
Speaker 2: YouTube a holes and your dorkland going to lame bands

348
00:15:33,573 --> 00:15:35,773
Speaker 2: and showing off about it. But it's not just bands

349
00:15:36,893 --> 00:15:39,573
Speaker 2: and yeah, and it's not just Doorkland.

350
00:15:39,653 --> 00:15:42,533
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, thanks are staying reasonable in your argument there.

351
00:15:42,293 --> 00:15:44,813
Speaker 2: But most people in New Zealand. Look, I'm going to

352
00:15:44,813 --> 00:15:46,413
Speaker 2: push back on most people in New Zealand don't have

353
00:15:46,493 --> 00:15:48,893
Speaker 2: enough to eat. We have an obesity problem in New Zealand.

354
00:15:49,893 --> 00:15:52,173
Speaker 2: Most people in New Zealand have too much to eat. Yeah,

355
00:15:52,213 --> 00:15:53,932
Speaker 2: I mean, and we're very lucky to live in a

356
00:15:53,973 --> 00:15:57,253
Speaker 2: country with an abundance of food and that hasn't been

357
00:15:57,293 --> 00:15:59,013
Speaker 2: the case for most of history. But to say that

358
00:15:59,053 --> 00:16:00,973
Speaker 2: most people in New Zealand don't have enough to eat,

359
00:16:01,453 --> 00:16:03,613
Speaker 2: you know, so I pushed back on the I'm not

360
00:16:03,693 --> 00:16:05,292
Speaker 2: going to push back on us being a holes. No,

361
00:16:05,373 --> 00:16:06,493
Speaker 2: that seems that is very true.

362
00:16:06,533 --> 00:16:07,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're right on the money there.

363
00:16:08,373 --> 00:16:09,373
Speaker 2: You have that one, Steve.

364
00:16:10,293 --> 00:16:12,733
Speaker 10: You know, Steve, how's the game Boys?

365
00:16:12,893 --> 00:16:14,813
Speaker 3: Very good? So what do you reckon about this funding?

366
00:16:16,053 --> 00:16:19,093
Speaker 10: Firstly, I just want to say classic texture previously basic.

367
00:16:20,653 --> 00:16:21,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get a few of those, Steve.

368
00:16:22,573 --> 00:16:24,253
Speaker 10: I mean really, I mean the guy needs to go

369
00:16:24,293 --> 00:16:26,933
Speaker 10: home and do some homework. But anyway, look, I don't know.

370
00:16:27,013 --> 00:16:30,172
Speaker 10: I just I mean, the government doesn't know where to

371
00:16:30,173 --> 00:16:32,693
Speaker 10: put its money at any time, no matter what side

372
00:16:32,693 --> 00:16:35,893
Speaker 10: of that dinner plate they eat from. But I just

373
00:16:35,973 --> 00:16:39,373
Speaker 10: think that you know, with Sydney you've got eight million people,

374
00:16:39,413 --> 00:16:42,973
Speaker 10: Melbourne butt nearly five million or whatever. If they have

375
00:16:43,053 --> 00:16:45,453
Speaker 10: something in Brisbane or Gold Coast, they got the stadiums

376
00:16:45,453 --> 00:16:47,893
Speaker 10: that can that can fit them in. Eden Park's not

377
00:16:47,893 --> 00:16:49,933
Speaker 10: big enough to hold these huge, big conscerts. I mean,

378
00:16:50,173 --> 00:16:52,613
Speaker 10: Melbourne's a hundred one hundred thousand. What is Eden Park

379
00:16:52,693 --> 00:16:55,413
Speaker 10: forty four or something fifty five. I don't know how

380
00:16:55,413 --> 00:16:58,172
Speaker 10: they're going to do the numbers. I don't think it's

381
00:16:58,173 --> 00:17:00,413
Speaker 10: going to work. But that's just my personal opinion. I mean,

382
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:01,813
Speaker 10: what do you guys, what do you guys think?

383
00:17:01,973 --> 00:17:04,173
Speaker 2: Well, it's good enough for Metallica, one of the biggest

384
00:17:04,213 --> 00:17:06,013
Speaker 2: bands the world. They're playing at eden.

385
00:17:05,893 --> 00:17:12,333
Speaker 10: Park, Old boys, come on, Yeah, you know why why

386
00:17:12,373 --> 00:17:14,293
Speaker 10: they're coming on tour again is because they run out

387
00:17:14,293 --> 00:17:14,653
Speaker 10: of money.

388
00:17:16,213 --> 00:17:18,693
Speaker 2: I think you're right in that will only ever be

389
00:17:19,173 --> 00:17:22,573
Speaker 2: an extra show on the Australian tour, to the point

390
00:17:22,613 --> 00:17:24,573
Speaker 2: where sometimes they get here and they think they are

391
00:17:24,613 --> 00:17:28,133
Speaker 2: still in Australia because they don't know the difference. But

392
00:17:28,613 --> 00:17:30,773
Speaker 2: you know, if it's the difference between adding one more

393
00:17:30,813 --> 00:17:34,613
Speaker 2: show to the tour and you know, I think it

394
00:17:34,693 --> 00:17:38,693
Speaker 2: was nixt Saunner was saying on Ryan Bridge this morning

395
00:17:38,813 --> 00:17:43,133
Speaker 2: that these other places in Australia off of these kind

396
00:17:43,173 --> 00:17:47,693
Speaker 2: of subsidies. So when you when you're bargaining, yeah, yeah,

397
00:17:47,653 --> 00:17:50,013
Speaker 2: so maybe we maybe we pry one off Adelaide, if

398
00:17:50,013 --> 00:17:52,213
Speaker 2: you if you know what I mean. You know they're

399
00:17:52,213 --> 00:17:54,293
Speaker 2: definitely gonna have Melbourne and Sydney in there. Obviously they'll

400
00:17:54,333 --> 00:17:56,373
Speaker 2: be silly not to but maybe we just get one

401
00:17:56,453 --> 00:17:58,093
Speaker 2: more added when they were just going to go home

402
00:17:58,133 --> 00:17:58,653
Speaker 2: at that point.

403
00:17:58,733 --> 00:18:01,213
Speaker 10: You know, I mean smaller. I mean, I don't know,

404
00:18:01,253 --> 00:18:05,973
Speaker 10: I just think smaller, smaller events I prefer to go to,

405
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:08,572
Speaker 10: you know, I prefer to go to the I mean

406
00:18:08,613 --> 00:18:10,573
Speaker 10: the last big event I went was Robie Williams. I

407
00:18:10,613 --> 00:18:13,052
Speaker 10: mean that was where that at the place where Warriors

408
00:18:13,053 --> 00:18:15,532
Speaker 10: play in the Neilson Street stay in there.

409
00:18:15,613 --> 00:18:17,933
Speaker 3: Yeah that's smart. That would have been a great show.

410
00:18:18,773 --> 00:18:22,293
Speaker 10: I was was. But you know now I just go

411
00:18:22,333 --> 00:18:24,053
Speaker 10: to the small ones because that's just my age. I

412
00:18:24,413 --> 00:18:26,253
Speaker 10: don't want to have too many people are out, but

413
00:18:26,293 --> 00:18:26,733
Speaker 10: that's just me.

414
00:18:27,053 --> 00:18:28,973
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a fair point. And when I when I

415
00:18:28,973 --> 00:18:30,973
Speaker 3: read this story, I thought, exactly that is how we

416
00:18:31,093 --> 00:18:33,413
Speaker 3: ever going to compete with Australia just in terms of

417
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:37,693
Speaker 3: infrastructure and their population base. But as you'd remember, Steve,

418
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:40,812
Speaker 3: this year we had some big players that I wouldn't

419
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:44,533
Speaker 3: go see myself, the likes of Drake and a wrappical

420
00:18:44,613 --> 00:18:46,693
Speaker 3: Travis Oh god, I've just forgotten his name, but they

421
00:18:46,693 --> 00:18:50,813
Speaker 3: are big names internationally. But then those guys, Drake in particular,

422
00:18:50,973 --> 00:18:53,052
Speaker 3: just said, I know I've had a change in schedule,

423
00:18:53,053 --> 00:18:54,733
Speaker 3: so I'm not going to come to New Zealand anymore.

424
00:18:54,973 --> 00:18:57,773
Speaker 3: So maybe a contestable fund and they take it on

425
00:18:57,773 --> 00:18:59,453
Speaker 3: the end of Australia means they're not just going to

426
00:18:59,493 --> 00:19:01,893
Speaker 3: ditch us at the last minute because they can't be asked.

427
00:19:02,653 --> 00:19:04,493
Speaker 10: But do you think it was not just ticket sales

428
00:19:04,493 --> 00:19:06,653
Speaker 10: that they turned it down? So if they don't get

429
00:19:06,653 --> 00:19:08,013
Speaker 10: the ticket sales or the numbers, they are not going

430
00:19:08,053 --> 00:19:08,653
Speaker 10: to come in anyway.

431
00:19:08,733 --> 00:19:11,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, interesting question for Drake. I don't like Drake,

432
00:19:11,693 --> 00:19:14,213
Speaker 3: but a lot of people do. I'd be super surprised

433
00:19:14,213 --> 00:19:15,693
Speaker 3: if that wasn't a sell out in New Zealand.

434
00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:17,853
Speaker 2: I think the thing with Drake is, if you look

435
00:19:17,853 --> 00:19:19,853
Speaker 2: into it, he got offered more money to do a

436
00:19:19,893 --> 00:19:22,053
Speaker 2: European tour at the same time, so.

437
00:19:22,213 --> 00:19:22,853
Speaker 3: We got out.

438
00:19:23,053 --> 00:19:25,373
Speaker 10: We got out glan for Drake as well. Can you

439
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:27,973
Speaker 10: get a what a winsloan to go to see Drake?

440
00:19:30,053 --> 00:19:30,533
Speaker 3: A question?

441
00:19:31,453 --> 00:19:32,693
Speaker 2: Maybe the government is looking to that.

442
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:38,173
Speaker 3: Sorry guys, sorry, that is gold Steve, you're a good man. Hey,

443
00:19:38,173 --> 00:19:40,493
Speaker 3: great to chat with you. Thank you very much. One

444
00:19:40,573 --> 00:19:43,413
Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Do

445
00:19:43,453 --> 00:19:45,853
Speaker 3: you agree with Steve? Do you think there's just no

446
00:19:45,973 --> 00:19:49,453
Speaker 3: way we can legitimately compete with Australia for these events

447
00:19:49,973 --> 00:19:51,532
Speaker 3: or is this a step in the right direction.

448
00:19:51,693 --> 00:19:53,253
Speaker 2: The sex is, how dare you? I work in a

449
00:19:53,253 --> 00:19:57,053
Speaker 2: food bank and people are starving out there? That's from Joy.

450
00:19:57,373 --> 00:19:59,453
Speaker 2: Good on you for working in a foodbank, congratulations, But

451
00:19:59,493 --> 00:20:01,493
Speaker 2: I'm pushing back on the idea that this person said

452
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,493
Speaker 2: most people in New Zealand don't have enough to eat.

453
00:20:03,853 --> 00:20:05,973
Speaker 2: It's clearly not the case that most people don't have

454
00:20:06,173 --> 00:20:08,253
Speaker 2: enough to eat, and it is also clearly the cave

455
00:20:09,093 --> 00:20:13,413
Speaker 2: that obesity. It kills more people in New Zealand than starvation.

456
00:20:13,973 --> 00:20:15,573
Speaker 2: So good on you for working in a food bank.

457
00:20:15,613 --> 00:20:18,413
Speaker 2: And I'm sure there are people out there that really

458
00:20:18,493 --> 00:20:21,253
Speaker 2: really appreciate your help. So absolutely good on your joy, yep.

459
00:20:21,453 --> 00:20:24,133
Speaker 2: But the term most people in New Zealand don't have

460
00:20:24,213 --> 00:20:29,173
Speaker 2: enough to eat is just wrong, absolutely objectively wrong. Yeah,

461
00:20:29,173 --> 00:20:31,052
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, most people in New Zealand have too

462
00:20:31,093 --> 00:20:31,533
Speaker 2: much to heat.

463
00:20:31,613 --> 00:20:32,373
Speaker 3: Yeah, very true.

464
00:20:32,453 --> 00:20:32,653
Speaker 11: Right.

465
00:20:32,853 --> 00:20:35,213
Speaker 3: Headlines with Wendy coming up. Then we're going to carry

466
00:20:35,213 --> 00:20:37,653
Speaker 3: this on. How do you feel about the seventy million

467
00:20:37,693 --> 00:20:40,373
Speaker 3: dollar contestable fund for events? Is it going to work

468
00:20:40,653 --> 00:20:42,213
Speaker 3: or is it just political grandstanding?

469
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:43,333
Speaker 2: You gruby docklander.

470
00:20:43,613 --> 00:20:46,413

Speaker 2: Had a shower a couple of days ago. I don't know.

476
00:20:55,773 --> 00:20:56,973
Speaker 2: How are we grubbing you docklanders?

477
00:20:57,733 --> 00:20:57,893
Speaker 5: Eight?

478
00:20:58,453 --> 00:21:00,052
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with being a docklander anyway.

479
00:21:02,613 --> 00:21:06,093
Speaker 12: You talks'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis. It's no

480
00:21:06,213 --> 00:21:07,653

Speaker 12: are no longer needed see more It ends a herald premium.

501
00:22:16,213 --> 00:22:17,413
Speaker 12: Now back to Matson Tayler.

502
00:22:17,533 --> 00:22:19,493
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Wendy. We're talking about the seventy

503
00:22:19,493 --> 00:22:22,333
Speaker 3: million dollar boost to the events industry. Some of it

504
00:22:22,373 --> 00:22:25,133
Speaker 3: will go to infrastructure as well, but forty million dollars

505
00:22:25,133 --> 00:22:26,853
Speaker 3: has been set aside. So what do you say, do

506
00:22:26,973 --> 00:22:30,773
Speaker 3: Big Overseas X actually need some funding to come to

507
00:22:30,813 --> 00:22:33,973
Speaker 3: New Zealand or is this a bit of a glittery

508
00:22:34,013 --> 00:22:36,173
Speaker 3: announcement by the government I one hundred and eighteen.

509
00:22:35,933 --> 00:22:39,133
Speaker 2: Eighty guys, this announcement sounds very much like John Key's

510
00:22:39,133 --> 00:22:42,533
Speaker 2: cycle track after the GFC from Dave. Actually, you're right

511
00:22:42,613 --> 00:22:45,173
Speaker 2: because part of the money is going to the whereas

512
00:22:45,253 --> 00:22:47,693
Speaker 2: I thought that there was part of this money, yeah,

513
00:22:48,093 --> 00:22:50,093
Speaker 2: is going to the cycle tracks.

514
00:22:50,293 --> 00:22:54,133
Speaker 3: There was ten million set aside specifically for cycle ways.

515
00:22:54,013 --> 00:22:58,493
Speaker 2: Ten million for tourism infrastructure upgrades including cycle trails. That's

516
00:22:58,533 --> 00:23:02,293
Speaker 2: in the widest seventy million funding boost, but forty million

517
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:05,532
Speaker 2: dollars that we're talking about as events Attraction Package for

518
00:23:05,653 --> 00:23:09,373
Speaker 2: large scale international acts and sports from twenty twenty six.

519
00:23:09,413 --> 00:23:12,813
Speaker 2: Though no accurate though the cycle tracks are in there.

520
00:23:12,813 --> 00:23:15,493
Speaker 3: They're lovely cycle ways down to meat Tiger Wow.

521
00:23:15,813 --> 00:23:18,613
Speaker 2: I mean they're fantastic in so many different places across

522
00:23:18,653 --> 00:23:22,333
Speaker 2: the country and they do bring tourists thin and they're

523
00:23:22,373 --> 00:23:26,613
Speaker 2: a great thing, absolute great thing. And my humble opinion,

524
00:23:26,693 --> 00:23:31,373
Speaker 2: so many texts coming through on this, hey, guys, that

525
00:23:31,453 --> 00:23:33,533
Speaker 2: text claiming he can't afford to eat and why should

526
00:23:33,573 --> 00:23:36,973
Speaker 2: our taxes support rich people's consonants. If he actually can't

527
00:23:36,973 --> 00:23:38,733
Speaker 2: afford to eat, then he will not be paying tax

528
00:23:38,813 --> 00:23:41,333
Speaker 2: unless he is financially ignorant mots.

529
00:23:41,973 --> 00:23:42,413
Speaker 3: Thank you for that.

530
00:23:42,613 --> 00:23:44,213
Speaker 2: I mean, if you can't afford it, you are unlikely

531
00:23:44,253 --> 00:23:47,333
Speaker 2: to be paying a whole heap of tax I would

532
00:23:47,413 --> 00:23:49,693
Speaker 2: argue that music events whil'st great for morale, et cetera.

533
00:23:49,933 --> 00:23:53,013
Speaker 2: Big conferences stunit make much more money in the hospitality sector.

534
00:23:53,293 --> 00:23:56,933
Speaker 2: Sector is not sexter sextor is a totally difference and

535
00:23:57,013 --> 00:24:01,173
Speaker 2: sector and boost tourism. Imagine how much two hundred doctors

536
00:24:01,213 --> 00:24:03,293
Speaker 2: with their wives here for a week or more would

537
00:24:03,293 --> 00:24:06,973
Speaker 2: spend in the country without spending money overseas to artisan agents. Yeah,

538
00:24:06,973 --> 00:24:09,093
Speaker 2: what are the kind If someone said before, like physics,

539
00:24:09,333 --> 00:24:12,453
Speaker 2: there's some kind of physics conference that's coming to New Zealand.

540
00:24:13,093 --> 00:24:16,013
Speaker 2: Those kind of things are great if you can bid

541
00:24:16,053 --> 00:24:18,533
Speaker 2: for New Zealand to be and that's why we've attempted

542
00:24:18,573 --> 00:24:20,413
Speaker 2: to build a conference center, but it's taken about four

543
00:24:20,453 --> 00:24:24,053
Speaker 2: hundred years due to various fires in Auckland.

544
00:24:24,213 --> 00:24:24,933
Speaker 3: It's getting there.

545
00:24:25,053 --> 00:24:27,333
Speaker 2: But those obviously are fantastic for New Zealand. If you

546
00:24:27,373 --> 00:24:30,693
Speaker 2: can make our destination and a whole lot of people

547
00:24:30,733 --> 00:24:31,613
Speaker 2: come here and do something.

548
00:24:31,773 --> 00:24:33,893
Speaker 3: The conference industry is huge sy it brings a lot

549
00:24:33,893 --> 00:24:36,053
Speaker 3: of money. Craig how are you.

550
00:24:36,773 --> 00:24:41,293
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, how are you good? Yeah, they're saying all

551
00:24:41,333 --> 00:24:47,453
Speaker 13: about the concerts. This is an event, you know, a

552
00:24:47,493 --> 00:24:50,973
Speaker 13: few years back Bill Buckley at Preston Spring Sport and

553
00:24:51,053 --> 00:24:57,013
Speaker 13: the World Speedway m solo bikes now for that weekend

554
00:24:57,773 --> 00:25:00,133
Speaker 13: and I guess they stayed on. But it was a

555
00:25:00,173 --> 00:25:03,373
Speaker 13: one day event at brought and I think there was

556
00:25:03,373 --> 00:25:07,413
Speaker 13: about three thousand an excess of three thousand people Poland

557
00:25:08,413 --> 00:25:13,253
Speaker 13: there was thousands of thousands of Australians, people from all

558
00:25:13,293 --> 00:25:17,613
Speaker 13: over Europe the Western Springing Stadium. The flags were just

559
00:25:17,813 --> 00:25:21,973
Speaker 13: so global. So you know this would when we save

560
00:25:22,053 --> 00:25:25,773
Speaker 13: our speedway and the tracks, the tracks will remain. Obviously,

561
00:25:26,933 --> 00:25:30,373
Speaker 13: this fun could help to bring in events like that.

562
00:25:31,453 --> 00:25:33,413
Speaker 2: Yes, So if there's an event and it could be

563
00:25:33,453 --> 00:25:36,733
Speaker 2: held somewhere in Australia and there's there's a place in

564
00:25:36,773 --> 00:25:39,613
Speaker 2: Australia that's looking at putting it on and their local

565
00:25:39,653 --> 00:25:42,853
Speaker 2: areas putting up some extra money to make it happen,

566
00:25:43,573 --> 00:25:46,573
Speaker 2: then we can go in and we can haggle for

567
00:25:46,653 --> 00:25:51,293
Speaker 2: it and and those kind of events. I mean that's yeah.

568
00:25:51,413 --> 00:25:55,533
Speaker 14: And as it's not just music, there's so many events

569
00:25:55,613 --> 00:25:56,333
Speaker 14: that can come and.

570
00:25:57,893 --> 00:26:00,053
Speaker 13: Bring because the music concerts.

571
00:26:00,173 --> 00:26:04,013
Speaker 14: They're not going to bring in many international people and

572
00:26:04,213 --> 00:26:07,173
Speaker 14: that's where it's not going to create a lot of tourism.

573
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:09,493
Speaker 14: You might get some over the Dutch, but they're not

574
00:26:09,493 --> 00:26:13,973
Speaker 14: going to be flying for Poland to come and see.

575
00:26:14,253 --> 00:26:15,333
Speaker 2: Yeah. Unlucky.

576
00:26:17,093 --> 00:26:19,493
Speaker 3: But even things, I mean, I can't understand why we

577
00:26:19,573 --> 00:26:22,853
Speaker 3: haven't had a major UFC fight in New Zealand considering

578
00:26:22,893 --> 00:26:24,453
Speaker 3: the caliber of some of our ones.

579
00:26:24,573 --> 00:26:27,133
Speaker 2: I mean, to a major UFC fight and it's spuck.

580
00:26:27,613 --> 00:26:29,573
Speaker 3: Okay, take that back then. So we've had a couple,

581
00:26:29,613 --> 00:26:32,413
Speaker 3: but more of those please. But WWE that was over

582
00:26:32,413 --> 00:26:34,773
Speaker 3: in Australia, that would have been fantastic. They have here

583
00:26:35,173 --> 00:26:38,373
Speaker 3: mass surf buy in for something like WWE.

584
00:26:41,613 --> 00:26:44,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what would be fantastic. You

585
00:26:44,493 --> 00:26:47,253
Speaker 2: know the great word you're talking about there at wisteron Springs.

586
00:26:47,253 --> 00:26:49,532
Speaker 2: But also if we could get if we could get

587
00:26:49,533 --> 00:26:53,813
Speaker 2: one of the State of O Games, Oh, then you

588
00:26:53,853 --> 00:26:56,813
Speaker 2: would be getting a lot of Australians coming here. Yeah, yeah,

589
00:26:57,013 --> 00:26:59,853
Speaker 2: thank you for your call. Craig. As a concert goer

590
00:27:00,013 --> 00:27:02,013
Speaker 2: and being to a lot of them, there was talk

591
00:27:02,053 --> 00:27:04,253
Speaker 2: about that. Did I dream that that? Last week? There

592
00:27:04,293 --> 00:27:07,973
Speaker 2: was some talk about a potential it doesn't seem real

593
00:27:08,093 --> 00:27:11,773
Speaker 2: nice out loud a potential state of Yeah, it was

594
00:27:12,173 --> 00:27:12,853
Speaker 2: in Auckland.

595
00:27:13,413 --> 00:27:15,333
Speaker 3: It was we're getting pretty close or has it already

596
00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:17,453
Speaker 3: been Announcestandard. We'll try and find that information.

597
00:27:17,693 --> 00:27:22,893
Speaker 2: Yeah, Outbird Australia on Quintessential Australia. Give the AFL final

598
00:27:24,213 --> 00:27:27,493
Speaker 2: take it off. As a concert goer and being to

599
00:27:27,533 --> 00:27:29,493
Speaker 2: a lot of them, there's not too many New Zealand

600
00:27:29,493 --> 00:27:31,213
Speaker 2: bands I haven't seen, and I want to see them

601
00:27:31,253 --> 00:27:33,653
Speaker 2: open for an overseas act. No offense to the Kiwi bands,

602
00:27:33,653 --> 00:27:35,813
Speaker 2: but music is not like the old school as it

603
00:27:35,893 --> 00:27:37,933
Speaker 2: used to be. Don't put up the prices, don't put

604
00:27:37,933 --> 00:27:41,173
Speaker 2: bid taxes on. Most of the big bands are worth multimillions.

605
00:27:41,213 --> 00:27:44,853
Speaker 2: Sure they could afford it if they really wanted to come.

606
00:27:45,093 --> 00:27:49,093
Speaker 2: If it wasn't for the fans, they wouldn't have it. Okay.

607
00:27:49,333 --> 00:27:50,973
Speaker 3: I just got to think, you know, the likes of

608
00:27:51,173 --> 00:27:54,253
Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen last time he came here. I might be

609
00:27:54,293 --> 00:27:58,013
Speaker 3: wrong on this, but I believe Bruce Springsteen came here

610
00:27:58,453 --> 00:28:01,453
Speaker 3: because he genuinely loved New Zealand and he wanted to

611
00:28:01,453 --> 00:28:03,413
Speaker 3: be here and it was important for him to get

612
00:28:03,453 --> 00:28:05,853
Speaker 3: on our soil. But I don't know if he made

613
00:28:05,933 --> 00:28:08,333
Speaker 3: much money from that leg of the journey. So that's

614
00:28:08,333 --> 00:28:09,813
Speaker 3: a hell of a thing to ask of an artist

615
00:28:09,853 --> 00:28:11,733
Speaker 3: that might just be good pr. I'm heapy to be

616
00:28:11,733 --> 00:28:12,493
Speaker 3: proven wrong there.

617
00:28:12,813 --> 00:28:13,533
Speaker 2: This is what he said.

618
00:28:13,653 --> 00:28:15,333
Speaker 3: Well, he came to christ Chooch because it was not

619
00:28:15,493 --> 00:28:18,093
Speaker 3: long after the earthquake, and he did make a point

620
00:28:18,093 --> 00:28:20,573
Speaker 3: there and it was in the news, and maybe this

621
00:28:20,653 --> 00:28:22,853
Speaker 3: is just good pr that he wanted to specifically come

622
00:28:22,933 --> 00:28:24,733
Speaker 3: to christ Jooch even though it was in that god

623
00:28:24,773 --> 00:28:27,253
Speaker 3: allful temporary stadium and you could only get fifteen thousand

624
00:28:27,253 --> 00:28:27,773
Speaker 3: people in there.

625
00:28:27,773 --> 00:28:31,533
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, fifteen thousand probably wouldn't have whis structure around.

626
00:28:31,533 --> 00:28:37,493
Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen. I went to considered Mount Smart Bruce Springsteen,

627
00:28:37,493 --> 00:28:39,653
Speaker 2: and he did the Born in the USA album was fantastic.

628
00:28:40,173 --> 00:28:43,493
Speaker 2: I would sooner tat forty million was put to nurses

629
00:28:43,533 --> 00:28:46,213
Speaker 2: and police deliberately left teachers off because it's the system

630
00:28:46,253 --> 00:28:51,973
Speaker 2: that's broken. Clive Well, I mean, the thing is, how

631
00:28:52,013 --> 00:28:58,733
Speaker 2: do I put this? There is something about events that

632
00:29:00,213 --> 00:29:03,533
Speaker 2: they're great for the morale of the you know, they

633
00:29:03,573 --> 00:29:05,813
Speaker 2: do more than just bring money into a region. They

634
00:29:05,853 --> 00:29:09,853
Speaker 2: bring people together, They create memory. I really believe they

635
00:29:10,053 --> 00:29:14,733
Speaker 2: raise morale, you know, and I think you can't sort

636
00:29:14,733 --> 00:29:19,213
Speaker 2: of you can't deny the positive feeling in a city

637
00:29:19,453 --> 00:29:21,733
Speaker 2: of big things that coming to that city and things

638
00:29:21,733 --> 00:29:24,733
Speaker 2: are happening in that town. It makes you feel international,

639
00:29:25,333 --> 00:29:29,053
Speaker 2: It makes you feel like you can experience just the

640
00:29:29,093 --> 00:29:31,893
Speaker 2: best in the world without getting on a plane. Yeah,

641
00:29:32,093 --> 00:29:34,493
Speaker 2: and I think that is that is huge. And we

642
00:29:34,533 --> 00:29:37,253
Speaker 2: can always go and look at where we're spending money

643
00:29:37,293 --> 00:29:38,613
Speaker 2: and go you could put it here, You could put

644
00:29:38,613 --> 00:29:39,893
Speaker 2: it here. I mean that's always the debate. But it

645
00:29:39,933 --> 00:29:42,333
Speaker 2: can't always just be on things that aren't. You know,

646
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:44,493
Speaker 2: just the fact that some things are fun doesn't mean

647
00:29:44,493 --> 00:29:45,413
Speaker 2: that they should be ruled out.

648
00:29:45,453 --> 00:29:47,253
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be one or the other. We

649
00:29:47,293 --> 00:29:49,853
Speaker 3: can do multiple things. And you know, as the saying goes,

650
00:29:49,853 --> 00:29:51,613
Speaker 3: we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

651
00:29:52,133 --> 00:29:53,653
Speaker 3: But what do you say, Oh, one hundred and eighty

652
00:29:53,693 --> 00:29:56,653
Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call at seventy million bucks.

653
00:29:57,413 --> 00:30:00,213
Speaker 2: WWD has been to New Zealand. Did the security for

654
00:30:00,253 --> 00:30:01,533
Speaker 2: it in christ Church? That's from Ken.

655
00:30:01,653 --> 00:30:05,093
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been wrong a couple of times. Bring them

656
00:30:05,253 --> 00:30:08,613
Speaker 3: back right. And we've just been handled some information about

657
00:30:08,613 --> 00:30:11,613
Speaker 3: what the situation is with State of O. So will

658
00:30:11,653 --> 00:30:14,853
Speaker 3: tell you exactly what is happening next. That is seventeen

659
00:30:14,893 --> 00:30:15,413
Speaker 3: to two.

660
00:30:16,093 --> 00:30:19,173
Speaker 1: A fresh take on took Back. It's Matt Heathen, Taylor

661
00:30:19,213 --> 00:30:22,893
Speaker 1: Adams afternoons. Have your say on eight hundred eighty ten

662
00:30:22,973 --> 00:30:24,173
Speaker 1: eighty US talks there'd be.

663
00:30:24,453 --> 00:30:26,533
Speaker 3: It is fourteen to two. So is the seventy million

664
00:30:26,573 --> 00:30:29,253
Speaker 3: dollar funding boost for big events and international acts going

665
00:30:29,293 --> 00:30:30,773
Speaker 3: to be a game change? I love to your thoughts

666
00:30:30,773 --> 00:30:33,013
Speaker 3: on our eight hundred and eighty ten eighty now mentioned

667
00:30:33,013 --> 00:30:36,453
Speaker 3: before the State of Origin. So here's the story out

668
00:30:36,533 --> 00:30:39,653
Speaker 3: from the Daily Telegraph last week. The NRL was preparing

669
00:30:39,893 --> 00:30:42,893
Speaker 3: to take rugby league's biggest stage across the Tasman, with

670
00:30:42,933 --> 00:30:45,533
Speaker 3: plans in motion to stage men's and women's State of

671
00:30:45,573 --> 00:30:48,293
Speaker 3: o fixtures in New Zealand and consecutive years and what

672
00:30:48,373 --> 00:30:51,253
Speaker 3: would mark a landmark moment for rugby league. The Daily

673
00:30:51,333 --> 00:30:54,733
Speaker 3: Telegraph reported that the codes one hundred million dollar showpiece

674
00:30:54,813 --> 00:30:57,213
Speaker 3: could have a head overseas to New Zealand for the

675
00:30:57,253 --> 00:30:58,853
Speaker 3: first time in twenty twenty seven.

676
00:30:59,213 --> 00:31:02,973
Speaker 2: See that would be fantastic. You know, if we could

677
00:31:02,973 --> 00:31:04,853
Speaker 2: make that work then you're going to have so many

678
00:31:04,853 --> 00:31:08,933
Speaker 2: Australians coming over here and you absolutely fleece them and

679
00:31:09,053 --> 00:31:11,893
Speaker 2: the bars restaurants.

680
00:31:11,573 --> 00:31:14,053
Speaker 3: And come on over and give us your money.

681
00:31:14,733 --> 00:31:17,053
Speaker 2: The STIX has said still forty million would be more

682
00:31:17,173 --> 00:31:20,653
Speaker 2: useful in their health sector. Now it's interesting what you

683
00:31:20,813 --> 00:31:23,973
Speaker 2: what you mean by health, because I think there's health

684
00:31:23,973 --> 00:31:27,173
Speaker 2: benefits and people having something to look forward to. So personally,

685
00:31:27,213 --> 00:31:30,173
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to the Metallica concert and the

686
00:31:30,213 --> 00:31:34,133
Speaker 2: Monster trucks and that's really helping my mental health thinking

687
00:31:34,133 --> 00:31:37,133
Speaker 2: about how fun they're going to be. So health isn't

688
00:31:37,133 --> 00:31:40,733
Speaker 2: all about hospitals and doctors. It's the mental health of

689
00:31:40,773 --> 00:31:45,093
Speaker 2: the nation and having fantastic, joyous events that bring people together.

690
00:31:46,093 --> 00:31:48,333
Speaker 2: It is great for people's health. It's been proven over

691
00:31:48,493 --> 00:31:51,773
Speaker 2: and over again. This is a funny text that someone said,

692
00:31:51,813 --> 00:31:54,013
Speaker 2: two hundred doctors in their wives. Come on, remember what

693
00:31:54,213 --> 00:31:57,973
Speaker 2: country Centuri all some of the two hundred doctors in

694
00:31:58,013 --> 00:32:01,053
Speaker 2: their wives. Yeah, I mean, it's getting to the point

695
00:32:01,053 --> 00:32:03,333
Speaker 2: where there's more female doctors than male docts, especially if

696
00:32:03,333 --> 00:32:05,053
Speaker 2: you go to med school. It's some crazy how many

697
00:32:05,093 --> 00:32:06,813
Speaker 2: more females there are than males. But it's kind of

698
00:32:06,853 --> 00:32:10,213
Speaker 2: like that joke that Reddler father and son are and

699
00:32:10,253 --> 00:32:12,413
Speaker 2: a car crash. The father dies. The son has rushed

700
00:32:12,413 --> 00:32:14,893
Speaker 2: to the hospital and the surgeon says, I can't operate

701
00:32:14,893 --> 00:32:17,813
Speaker 2: on this boy because he's my son. How is this possible?

702
00:32:17,893 --> 00:32:19,973
Speaker 2: And that used to tract people to go was because

703
00:32:19,973 --> 00:32:20,733
Speaker 2: the doctors is mother.

704
00:32:20,893 --> 00:32:23,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, but as true, everybody didn't matter if you're a

705
00:32:23,293 --> 00:32:25,813
Speaker 3: man or woman. That throw a lot of people. Yeah, yeah,

706
00:32:25,893 --> 00:32:29,053
Speaker 3: so you get your point. Two hundred doctors in their husbands.

707
00:32:29,133 --> 00:32:32,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, there will probably be one hundred and ninety doctors

708
00:32:32,013 --> 00:32:34,413
Speaker 2: in their husbands and ten doctors and their wife.

709
00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:36,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sody, how are you mate?

710
00:32:38,173 --> 00:32:40,973
Speaker 15: Okay, guys good, Yeah. Look, I just think there's going

711
00:32:41,053 --> 00:32:44,813
Speaker 15: to be a return on investment for that money spend.

712
00:32:44,853 --> 00:32:47,053
Speaker 15: You know, you're talking about, you know, having a feel

713
00:32:47,093 --> 00:32:50,573
Speaker 15: good factor and what have you in the local economy

714
00:32:50,613 --> 00:32:54,533
Speaker 15: and you know, internal internal tourism, and maybe there won't

715
00:32:54,533 --> 00:32:57,493
Speaker 15: be that many people. Let them, Let's say Taylor Swift

716
00:32:57,533 --> 00:33:00,773
Speaker 15: comes to comes to New Zealand, maybe there won't be

717
00:33:00,773 --> 00:33:04,013
Speaker 15: a lot of international tourism generate, you know, of people

718
00:33:04,013 --> 00:33:06,973
Speaker 15: coming to see the show, but there will be the

719
00:33:06,973 --> 00:33:10,573
Speaker 15: promotion that she would generate through her you know, I

720
00:33:10,613 --> 00:33:12,893
Speaker 15: don't know how many followers she got, tens tens of

721
00:33:12,933 --> 00:33:16,733
Speaker 15: millions hundreds of followers who see see her in New Zealand,

722
00:33:16,773 --> 00:33:19,533
Speaker 15: and she might post a picture of down a pH

723
00:33:20,253 --> 00:33:23,533
Speaker 15: or Queenstown or whoever it might be. You know, that

724
00:33:23,693 --> 00:33:27,813
Speaker 15: kind of exposures worth gazillions of dollars and that's that's

725
00:33:27,853 --> 00:33:31,333
Speaker 15: where the return will come from. Plus, you know, to

726
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:33,613
Speaker 15: set up a big gig, like whether it's at Eden

727
00:33:33,693 --> 00:33:35,933
Speaker 15: Park or the new stadium down in christ which whatever

728
00:33:35,933 --> 00:33:38,653
Speaker 15: it might be. You know, there's lots of local tradees

729
00:33:38,733 --> 00:33:43,493
Speaker 15: and staffolders and lighting people and video people and all

730
00:33:43,493 --> 00:33:46,933
Speaker 15: the caterer. There's a lot of money flows in from

731
00:33:47,093 --> 00:33:50,293
Speaker 15: overseas to the local economy. It's not just sort of

732
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,773
Speaker 15: internal money flowing around by the by Kiwi's traveling to

733
00:33:53,813 --> 00:33:56,693
Speaker 15: see the shows. There's lots of lots of external money

734
00:33:56,693 --> 00:33:59,533
Speaker 15: comes in as well. So I look, I'm an amateur

735
00:33:59,853 --> 00:34:03,253
Speaker 15: in terms of the return on investment, but I imagine

736
00:34:03,493 --> 00:34:06,853
Speaker 15: one of the boffins has done, you know, one of

737
00:34:06,853 --> 00:34:10,013
Speaker 15: the bureaucrats has done some numbers around this. There's got

738
00:34:10,053 --> 00:34:12,893
Speaker 15: to be a financial return on investment having been calculated

739
00:34:12,933 --> 00:34:14,852
Speaker 15: that might be real or imagined, you know what I mean,

740
00:34:15,133 --> 00:34:17,613
Speaker 15: sort of some fancy number pluck out of the air,

741
00:34:17,893 --> 00:34:20,973
Speaker 15: but there will be a lot of it flow into

742
00:34:21,013 --> 00:34:22,013
Speaker 15: the country.

743
00:34:22,213 --> 00:34:25,692
Speaker 2: And also money moving around the internal economy is also

744
00:34:25,733 --> 00:34:27,573
Speaker 2: a fantastic thing. I mean, we have to put things

745
00:34:27,653 --> 00:34:29,933
Speaker 2: together such that people will get out of their house

746
00:34:30,373 --> 00:34:33,373
Speaker 2: and spend their money at a restaurant or a bar.

747
00:34:34,493 --> 00:34:37,413
Speaker 2: You know, that's how an economy works, right. And if

748
00:34:37,413 --> 00:34:41,093
Speaker 2: that money is not spent on TIMU and instead spent

749
00:34:41,173 --> 00:34:44,133
Speaker 2: on a local bar or a local restaurant, or that

750
00:34:44,213 --> 00:34:46,453
Speaker 2: money is not spent in flying to see that artist

751
00:34:46,493 --> 00:34:50,333
Speaker 2: in Australia and instead spent in New Zealand, then that's

752
00:34:50,333 --> 00:34:51,613
Speaker 2: a boon for the economy as well.

753
00:34:52,933 --> 00:34:57,213
Speaker 15: Well totally. You know, there will be some internal you know,

754
00:34:57,293 --> 00:35:02,773
Speaker 15: employment created through the employment created through internal flow of funds.

755
00:35:02,813 --> 00:35:05,333
Speaker 15: But my point is I reckon there'd be a lot

756
00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:10,053
Speaker 15: of external funds and a lot of external interest generated

757
00:35:10,253 --> 00:35:13,212
Speaker 15: in New Zealand and about New zeal YEA good on.

758
00:35:13,173 --> 00:35:15,293
Speaker 2: You, Tony, thank you for your call re spending on

759
00:35:15,373 --> 00:35:18,453
Speaker 2: nurses instead. International tourum is the only export sector that

760
00:35:18,533 --> 00:35:21,813
Speaker 2: generates GSD. Foreign has paid one point seven billion in

761
00:35:21,853 --> 00:35:24,453
Speaker 2: GSD last year and we don't invest that much back

762
00:35:24,493 --> 00:35:27,973
Speaker 2: into tourism. Tourism already pays for hospital, schools and police.

763
00:35:28,013 --> 00:35:31,292
Speaker 2: We just don't give the tourism credit it needs. And yes,

764
00:35:31,293 --> 00:35:35,453
Speaker 2: in the seventy million dollar announcement from the government, a

765
00:35:35,493 --> 00:35:40,413
Speaker 2: bunch of it is for tourism infrastructure upgrades and ten

766
00:35:40,453 --> 00:35:44,813
Speaker 2: million dollars for regional tourism campaign aim incentivizing overseas visitors.

767
00:35:45,373 --> 00:35:48,293
Speaker 2: And ten millions dollars events boost funds, set to strength

768
00:35:48,293 --> 00:35:51,573
Speaker 2: and events and draw international opportunities. So there's a lot

769
00:35:51,613 --> 00:35:52,213
Speaker 2: going on in this.

770
00:35:52,373 --> 00:35:54,813
Speaker 3: That's a great text though, and they're quite right that

771
00:35:54,973 --> 00:35:59,733
Speaker 3: tourism does subsidize health spending and education spending and a

772
00:35:59,733 --> 00:36:01,853
Speaker 3: lot of others spending that we have to do. But

773
00:36:01,933 --> 00:36:04,213
Speaker 3: tourism helps bring in some of that money we utilize.

774
00:36:04,413 --> 00:36:06,573
Speaker 2: We have to come up with ideas that increase the

775
00:36:06,613 --> 00:36:09,333
Speaker 2: amount of money that comes into the country. And whilst

776
00:36:09,373 --> 00:36:12,133
Speaker 2: we really want to pay everyone more, you know, money

777
00:36:12,133 --> 00:36:14,373
Speaker 2: that is taxed off the people here and then given

778
00:36:14,413 --> 00:36:17,133
Speaker 2: back to the people here doesn't really grow the economy.

779
00:36:17,333 --> 00:36:18,613
Speaker 2: It just moves the money around.

780
00:36:18,693 --> 00:36:20,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, spot on right. Oh, one hundred and eighty

781
00:36:20,813 --> 00:36:23,013
Speaker 3: ten eighty is the number to call. It is eight

782
00:36:23,053 --> 00:36:24,253
Speaker 3: to two back very shortly.

783
00:36:25,693 --> 00:36:28,933
Speaker 1: Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on oh, eight

784
00:36:29,013 --> 00:36:31,413
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty ten eighty it's Matt Heath and Taylor

785
00:36:31,453 --> 00:36:34,133
Speaker 1: Adams afternoons news DOORGSB.

786
00:36:35,413 --> 00:36:38,292
Speaker 3: News DOGSB. It is five to two, so many ticks

787
00:36:38,333 --> 00:36:39,613
Speaker 3: have come through on nine to two, nine to two

788
00:36:39,653 --> 00:36:40,573
Speaker 3: on this one.

789
00:36:40,653 --> 00:36:44,413
Speaker 2: Concept using New Zealand ticket purchases spends most back in

790
00:36:44,453 --> 00:36:46,613
Speaker 2: New Zealand, then profit out of the country to the Star.

791
00:36:46,813 --> 00:36:50,893
Speaker 2: So I get you saying yeah, sounds like someone might

792
00:36:50,933 --> 00:36:53,093
Speaker 2: have voiced to text this one. So yes, it gets

793
00:36:53,093 --> 00:36:55,333
Speaker 2: peeps out of the house, but overall cash leaves New

794
00:36:55,413 --> 00:36:58,533
Speaker 2: Zealand and government gets GST. But others than that, it

795
00:36:58,613 --> 00:37:02,213
Speaker 2: is not even cost neutral. That's not what people are saying.

796
00:37:04,253 --> 00:37:06,613
Speaker 2: Why can't the government use their funding correctly? Look at

797
00:37:06,693 --> 00:37:09,333
Speaker 2: Regional Growth Fund. We've applied for this under labor and

798
00:37:09,373 --> 00:37:12,053
Speaker 2: got squat. National in June twenty twenty three promised us

799
00:37:12,093 --> 00:37:14,573
Speaker 2: the world applied for a regional GF and not even

800
00:37:14,573 --> 00:37:17,453
Speaker 2: a reply. We manufacture paper bags in Topor and now

801
00:37:17,453 --> 00:37:20,573
Speaker 2: employee forty five staff, creating not only jobs but putting

802
00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:23,093
Speaker 2: meals on forty five tables. Good on you, Steve.

803
00:37:23,293 --> 00:37:25,773
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a good question about why you

804
00:37:25,813 --> 00:37:28,133
Speaker 3: haven't managed to get some money out of the contestable fund,

805
00:37:28,213 --> 00:37:30,413
Speaker 3: But that's slightly different to the seventy million dollars.

806
00:37:30,573 --> 00:37:32,533
Speaker 2: Joanne says. What seems to be missing in the argument

807
00:37:32,613 --> 00:37:35,253
Speaker 2: from people who are offended that others can attend concerts

808
00:37:35,373 --> 00:37:37,373
Speaker 2: is the flow on effect to the whole economy from

809
00:37:37,413 --> 00:37:40,053
Speaker 2: these events, and that flow one will affect employers and

810
00:37:40,093 --> 00:37:42,773
Speaker 2: many other businesses who may in turn employ more people

811
00:37:42,973 --> 00:37:45,533
Speaker 2: or increase wages, and those businesses and their employees will

812
00:37:45,533 --> 00:37:48,293
Speaker 2: then support further businesses. That's why it's a good idea

813
00:37:48,453 --> 00:37:49,373
Speaker 2: and good for all.

814
00:37:49,373 --> 00:37:55,252
Speaker 3: This is Joanne right, jo Anne, well done? Good? Whoa right?

815
00:37:55,413 --> 00:37:56,413
Speaker 2: What a great New Zealander?

816
00:37:56,493 --> 00:37:59,973
Speaker 3: Joanna's great New Zealander. Great chats coming up to two

817
00:37:59,973 --> 00:38:02,173
Speaker 3: o'clock though, this is going to be another good chat.

818
00:38:02,293 --> 00:38:05,453
Speaker 3: Are you dumb if you stay in New Zealand's according

819
00:38:05,453 --> 00:38:08,053
Speaker 3: to an opinion piece just written, Yeah, maybe so can

820
00:38:08,053 --> 00:38:10,133
Speaker 3: your views on this? So eight undred and eighty ten

821
00:38:10,213 --> 00:38:12,692
Speaker 3: eighty is the number to call. Nineteen ninety two is

822
00:38:12,733 --> 00:38:16,013
Speaker 3: the text number. Horrible thing to say that is coming

823
00:38:16,093 --> 00:38:19,013
Speaker 3: up very shortly, News, sport and weather coming up.

824
00:38:21,973 --> 00:38:25,813
Speaker 1: Talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathen Taylor Adams

825
00:38:25,853 --> 00:38:27,653
Speaker 1: Afternoons news Talks.

826
00:38:27,653 --> 00:38:27,933
Speaker 5: It'd be.

827
00:38:29,573 --> 00:38:33,013
Speaker 3: Afternoon to you. Welcome back into the shelter, seven past two.

828
00:38:33,093 --> 00:38:35,652
Speaker 3: Hope you're doing well on this Monday afternoon. Now, this

829
00:38:36,213 --> 00:38:38,493
Speaker 3: is going to get a few people racked up, and

830
00:38:38,533 --> 00:38:40,253
Speaker 3: that's a good thing. We want to talk about an

831
00:38:40,293 --> 00:38:43,533
Speaker 3: opinion piece Verity Johnson has written. Now I don't know

832
00:38:43,573 --> 00:38:46,093
Speaker 3: too much about Verity Johnson, but she's a regular writer

833
00:38:46,653 --> 00:38:49,893
Speaker 3: across the road at one of our competing newspaper organizations.

834
00:38:49,973 --> 00:38:53,333
Speaker 2: Her name sounds like a character from a western.

835
00:38:54,013 --> 00:38:58,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, very old, isn't it Verity Johnson. But the article

836
00:38:58,213 --> 00:39:00,212
Speaker 3: she's written, and she writes a few of these quite

837
00:39:00,213 --> 00:39:03,853
Speaker 3: inflammatory articles, but in this one, her friend has a

838
00:39:03,973 --> 00:39:07,653
Speaker 3: very blunt claim about why people are leaving New Zealand.

839
00:39:07,733 --> 00:39:10,293
Speaker 3: Here is the quote. New Zealand is broken, are broken,

840
00:39:10,573 --> 00:39:12,533
Speaker 3: and you were dumb to stay.

841
00:39:12,693 --> 00:39:16,172
Speaker 2: Wow, so I'm dumb because I choose to stay here.

842
00:39:16,293 --> 00:39:18,653
Speaker 3: According to her friend. Yeah, I don't know what Verity's

843
00:39:18,653 --> 00:39:26,213
Speaker 3: friend's name is. She didn't mention that Verity's friend h yeah, friends, yeah, yeah,

844
00:39:26,293 --> 00:39:29,373
Speaker 3: the old friends. But she did say and as we know,

845
00:39:29,453 --> 00:39:32,493
Speaker 3: there are thousands of people leaving New Zealand each month.

846
00:39:32,533 --> 00:39:35,013
Speaker 3: Many say they are pushed out by economic struggles and

847
00:39:35,133 --> 00:39:40,293
Speaker 3: rising costs, but many are wondering people actually leaving the

848
00:39:40,333 --> 00:39:44,613
Speaker 3: situation this country because it truly is that bad, or

849
00:39:44,653 --> 00:39:48,212
Speaker 3: there's this negativity bias that is just set in all

850
00:39:48,253 --> 00:39:51,692
Speaker 3: this gloomy talk and people are getting caught up too

851
00:39:51,773 --> 00:39:54,933
Speaker 3: much in this idea that New Zealand is rubbish. I'm

852
00:39:54,933 --> 00:39:56,493
Speaker 3: going to make my life in Australia.

853
00:39:56,613 --> 00:39:56,813
Speaker 16: Yeah.

854
00:39:56,853 --> 00:39:59,893
Speaker 2: Well, she's saying that New Zealand is breaking its social

855
00:39:59,933 --> 00:40:01,933
Speaker 2: promise of a fair shot at a decent life, with

856
00:40:02,013 --> 00:40:04,772
Speaker 2: many staying behind only because they can't afford to leave.

857
00:40:06,773 --> 00:40:10,373
Speaker 2: I mean, is it really that bad? I feel like

858
00:40:10,653 --> 00:40:13,493
Speaker 2: post COVID, we've got it, We've got a win on. Yeah,

859
00:40:13,853 --> 00:40:16,813
Speaker 2: it's not that bad for most of us. It's not

860
00:40:17,093 --> 00:40:21,213
Speaker 2: that bad that the social promise has been broken. So

861
00:40:21,413 --> 00:40:24,253
Speaker 2: are you dumb to stay or are you proud to stay?

862
00:40:24,453 --> 00:40:25,013
Speaker 3: Yeah?

863
00:40:25,053 --> 00:40:27,693
Speaker 2: And look, as I was saying before, look I don't

864
00:40:27,893 --> 00:40:31,053
Speaker 2: feel dumb. I feel awesome being here. I was running

865
00:40:31,053 --> 00:40:34,453
Speaker 2: on Saturday and this costs nothing around around the Western

866
00:40:34,493 --> 00:40:40,333
Speaker 2: Springs absolutely beautiful and up the Northwestern Motorway track and

867
00:40:40,413 --> 00:40:42,013
Speaker 2: I was just looking around going this has cost to

868
00:40:42,053 --> 00:40:46,053
Speaker 2: me nothing. This place is absolutely beautiful and I think

869
00:40:46,053 --> 00:40:48,773
Speaker 2: if you can't make it work here, you might be

870
00:40:48,853 --> 00:40:52,053
Speaker 2: surprised when you find that you can't make it work elsewhere.

871
00:40:52,613 --> 00:40:55,293
Speaker 2: It's always worth asking the question, is that you who

872
00:40:55,373 --> 00:40:57,773
Speaker 2: just needs to go harder, rather than the country you

873
00:40:57,933 --> 00:40:59,413
Speaker 2: are in gooing harder for you?

874
00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:02,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's a critical point, right. There'll

875
00:41:02,933 --> 00:41:05,373
Speaker 3: be many of these thousands of people leaving for a

876
00:41:05,373 --> 00:41:08,333
Speaker 3: so called better life and more opportunity over in Australia

877
00:41:08,653 --> 00:41:11,933
Speaker 3: that will find pretty quickly, yeah, they haven't managed to

878
00:41:11,973 --> 00:41:12,933
Speaker 3: make a good go of it.

879
00:41:13,253 --> 00:41:16,493
Speaker 2: And there would be people in other countries that would

880
00:41:16,493 --> 00:41:19,692
Speaker 2: hear you saying this about New Zealand and the opportunities

881
00:41:19,693 --> 00:41:22,732
Speaker 2: that are here. They would be shocked that you look

882
00:41:22,733 --> 00:41:26,172
Speaker 2: at New Zealand and go that the social content has

883
00:41:26,213 --> 00:41:29,013
Speaker 2: been broken and that we're only staying here because we

884
00:41:29,053 --> 00:41:32,933
Speaker 2: cannot leave. I mean, I think that suggests you haven't

885
00:41:33,293 --> 00:41:35,692
Speaker 2: really had a look around what much of the rest

886
00:41:35,733 --> 00:41:38,172
Speaker 2: of the world is. Like this text that I read

887
00:41:38,213 --> 00:41:41,573
Speaker 2: out before when we first brought up this topic, I

888
00:41:41,573 --> 00:41:43,653
Speaker 2: thought i'd read it out again because it's a good one.

889
00:41:43,973 --> 00:41:46,692
Speaker 2: I'm originally from England and came out here fourteen years

890
00:41:46,693 --> 00:41:49,133
Speaker 2: ago with my partner in just one tiny suitcase each.

891
00:41:49,173 --> 00:41:52,413
Speaker 2: We were instantly welcomed. Both found jobs straight away, not

892
00:41:52,493 --> 00:41:54,573
Speaker 2: well paid, but still it was a start. A few

893
00:41:54,613 --> 00:41:57,773
Speaker 2: years in and we both started our own businesses construction

894
00:41:57,813 --> 00:42:00,093
Speaker 2: and jewelry, and together with lots of hard work, we

895
00:42:00,213 --> 00:42:03,333
Speaker 2: found them to be very successful and we got to

896
00:42:03,373 --> 00:42:06,813
Speaker 2: live in total paradise with the wilderness less than five

897
00:42:06,853 --> 00:42:09,693
Speaker 2: minutes away. Couldn't rate news even living higher. A place

898
00:42:09,773 --> 00:42:11,893
Speaker 2: is what you make of it. If you can't make

899
00:42:11,933 --> 00:42:15,773
Speaker 2: it here, then honestly you will struggle anywhere. I mean,

900
00:42:15,813 --> 00:42:18,253
Speaker 2: what's that saying about New York. If you can make

901
00:42:18,293 --> 00:42:20,493
Speaker 2: it here, you can make it anywhere. If someone once

902
00:42:20,493 --> 00:42:22,613
Speaker 2: said to me about it's actually the other way. If

903
00:42:22,653 --> 00:42:24,212
Speaker 2: you can't make it in New York, you can't make

904
00:42:24,253 --> 00:42:24,653
Speaker 2: it anything.

905
00:42:24,853 --> 00:42:27,853
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number.

906
00:42:27,933 --> 00:42:28,133
Speaker 4: Call?

907
00:42:28,253 --> 00:42:31,213
Speaker 3: So do you feel dumb for staying in New Zealand?

908
00:42:31,293 --> 00:42:33,373
Speaker 3: Love to hear your thoughts on this one. Nine two

909
00:42:33,453 --> 00:42:36,453
Speaker 3: ninety two is the text number. It is eleven past two.

910
00:42:36,533 --> 00:42:37,853
Speaker 3: Let's get into it. Wow.

911
00:42:38,773 --> 00:42:43,133
Speaker 1: Your home of afternoon talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons

912
00:42:43,133 --> 00:42:46,053
Speaker 1: call oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. News Talk said,

913
00:42:46,053 --> 00:42:48,053
Speaker 1: be for.

914
00:42:48,013 --> 00:42:50,173
Speaker 3: A good afternoons? You fourteen past two? So do you

915
00:42:50,173 --> 00:42:52,733
Speaker 3: feel dumb for staying in New Zealand? That was one

916
00:42:52,773 --> 00:42:55,573
Speaker 3: of the claims. Verity Johnson, an opinion writer over at

917
00:42:55,613 --> 00:43:00,053
Speaker 3: another competing newspaper company, wrote, she basically said one thousands

918
00:43:00,133 --> 00:43:02,493
Speaker 3: leaving every month. Many say they pushed out by economic

919
00:43:02,533 --> 00:43:06,093
Speaker 3: struggles and rising costs, and a so called friend of

920
00:43:06,093 --> 00:43:08,373
Speaker 3: hers said New Zealand's broke in your dumb distace. So

921
00:43:08,413 --> 00:43:10,013
Speaker 3: how do you feel about that? One hundred and eighty

922
00:43:10,053 --> 00:43:10,773
Speaker 3: ten eighty.

923
00:43:11,093 --> 00:43:12,212
Speaker 2: Daryl, Welcome to the show.

924
00:43:13,693 --> 00:43:18,413
Speaker 16: Okay, hey, I normally agree with you guys, but I

925
00:43:18,533 --> 00:43:22,493
Speaker 16: do actually agree with this young lady. I've spoken to

926
00:43:22,493 --> 00:43:25,573
Speaker 16: you guys before. We spoke earlier or a few months ago,

927
00:43:26,053 --> 00:43:28,733
Speaker 16: regarding when you guys were talking about homeschooling, and I

928
00:43:28,733 --> 00:43:30,333
Speaker 16: told you I had a good friend that moved over

929
00:43:30,333 --> 00:43:32,773
Speaker 16: to the Gold Coast. Well, they've been over there for

930
00:43:32,813 --> 00:43:35,173
Speaker 16: a while and they've taken up this this deal with

931
00:43:35,213 --> 00:43:38,373
Speaker 16: the album easy Whereas if you're in Australia and you've

932
00:43:38,373 --> 00:43:41,133
Speaker 16: been there for more than twelve months, you can get

933
00:43:41,293 --> 00:43:44,813
Speaker 16: a youth package. I don't remember what they call it.

934
00:43:44,853 --> 00:43:48,893
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, guys, but anyway, they've just purchased their own home.

935
00:43:49,573 --> 00:43:50,013
Speaker 17: This is.

936
00:43:51,533 --> 00:43:57,613
Speaker 16: His daughter and his son have now bought a bought

937
00:43:57,653 --> 00:43:59,613
Speaker 16: a property over there. They saved money, they've been over

938
00:43:59,613 --> 00:44:02,853
Speaker 16: in Australia. They've they've they've been working over there, they've

939
00:44:03,133 --> 00:44:05,973
Speaker 16: saved deposit, they've done all the stuff that needed to

940
00:44:05,973 --> 00:44:08,853
Speaker 16: be done to prove that they're going to be staying there.

941
00:44:08,893 --> 00:44:12,013
Speaker 16: They need a boo movement of this property. But they've

942
00:44:12,013 --> 00:44:14,933
Speaker 16: done the whole done thing. There's just nothing like that

943
00:44:15,213 --> 00:44:19,933
Speaker 16: in New Zealand that is available to youth to be

944
00:44:20,013 --> 00:44:23,493
Speaker 16: able to move in to. And the home is a

945
00:44:23,933 --> 00:44:26,333
Speaker 16: two bedroom home. It's five hundred and thirty three thousand.

946
00:44:26,453 --> 00:44:28,573
Speaker 16: But what could you buy for five hundred and thirty

947
00:44:28,573 --> 00:44:32,373
Speaker 16: three thousand, you know. And this is on the Gold Coast, Australia,

948
00:44:32,933 --> 00:44:36,773
Speaker 16: in a place called Labrador, So I mean it's it's

949
00:44:36,973 --> 00:44:40,053
Speaker 16: it's not the flashiest area, but it's still not It's

950
00:44:40,213 --> 00:44:42,373
Speaker 16: like a ten minute walk to the beach and all

951
00:44:42,413 --> 00:44:46,813
Speaker 16: the rest of it. But yeah, there's just nothing to

952
00:44:46,893 --> 00:44:50,373
Speaker 16: compare that to New Zealand. So I do agree. You know,

953
00:44:50,413 --> 00:44:52,613
Speaker 16: you'd be crazy not to go right.

954
00:44:52,653 --> 00:44:57,252
Speaker 2: Do you feel, as Veriti's friend has said that you're

955
00:44:57,373 --> 00:44:59,893
Speaker 2: dumb to stay here because you're Are you staying here?

956
00:44:59,933 --> 00:45:01,893
Speaker 2: Are you going down? Don't leave us? By the way,

957
00:45:05,653 --> 00:45:06,173
Speaker 2: I've got it.

958
00:45:06,973 --> 00:45:11,013
Speaker 16: I'm very fortunate of I've got a mother and father

959
00:45:11,053 --> 00:45:12,853
Speaker 16: in law that have ever a property over there since

960
00:45:12,893 --> 00:45:15,613
Speaker 16: two thousand and we do go over on a regular basis,

961
00:45:16,653 --> 00:45:18,293
Speaker 16: and we're about to go over in another couple of

962
00:45:18,333 --> 00:45:20,493
Speaker 16: weeks actually, and we're going to go look at the

963
00:45:20,533 --> 00:45:23,093
Speaker 16: new property that these guys.

964
00:45:22,813 --> 00:45:23,533
Speaker 5: Have just purchased.

965
00:45:23,653 --> 00:45:26,253
Speaker 16: I mean, we're all excited, you know, I mean fantastic.

966
00:45:26,453 --> 00:45:31,293
Speaker 16: I mean one's nineteen, the other one's twenty one, so

967
00:45:31,493 --> 00:45:34,413
Speaker 16: and that's incredible, you know, nineteen and twenty one year

968
00:45:34,413 --> 00:45:40,172
Speaker 16: old actually moving into their own home, obviously together brother

969
00:45:40,253 --> 00:45:43,773
Speaker 16: and sister. But still you know they're on the ladder.

970
00:45:44,013 --> 00:45:46,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about is that an Australia there. I just

971
00:45:46,933 --> 00:45:49,213
Speaker 3: say that because my older brother is a Newcastle and

972
00:45:49,253 --> 00:45:51,213
Speaker 3: they've just managed to get into a property. But they

973
00:45:51,213 --> 00:45:52,413
Speaker 3: had to pay a lot of money for it. I

974
00:45:52,413 --> 00:45:55,733
Speaker 3: think it was nine hundred thousand dollars Australian and he

975
00:45:56,093 --> 00:45:58,252
Speaker 3: is forty three, so they had to work their butt

976
00:45:58,293 --> 00:45:59,693
Speaker 3: off to try and get into that property.

977
00:46:00,813 --> 00:46:01,133
Speaker 7: Right.

978
00:46:01,293 --> 00:46:06,652
Speaker 16: Well, they've been in Australia for about eighty months and

979
00:46:07,213 --> 00:46:10,493
Speaker 16: during that period you've been obviously all working. The whole

980
00:46:10,533 --> 00:46:16,733
Speaker 16: family's in working and this property is on the Gold Coast, Australia.

981
00:46:18,413 --> 00:46:21,453
Speaker 16: It's a place called Labrador, which.

982
00:46:21,293 --> 00:46:23,853
Speaker 3: Is a great name for a place between love a Labrador,

983
00:46:23,893 --> 00:46:25,093
Speaker 3: good dog, good place.

984
00:46:25,453 --> 00:46:34,133
Speaker 16: Yeah. But yeah, it's basically a very very central area.

985
00:46:34,213 --> 00:46:38,333
Speaker 16: But yeah, it's you know, it's in a block of

986
00:46:38,453 --> 00:46:41,293
Speaker 16: I think it's a block of twelve, so it's it's

987
00:46:41,333 --> 00:46:42,253
Speaker 16: not extravagant.

988
00:46:42,293 --> 00:46:44,652
Speaker 2: You know, how much do you say five thirty Did

989
00:46:44,693 --> 00:46:46,373
Speaker 2: you say five thirty three?

990
00:46:46,533 --> 00:46:47,772
Speaker 16: Yeah, five thirty three.

991
00:46:47,973 --> 00:46:49,933
Speaker 2: I think if you call Darryl, I mean you could do.

992
00:46:50,013 --> 00:46:51,973
Speaker 2: I mean christ Church. Everyone's been talking about christ Church

993
00:46:52,053 --> 00:46:54,173
Speaker 2: and the great results down there and how that's growing

994
00:46:54,213 --> 00:46:56,652
Speaker 2: and everyone's moving down the air and it's I mean

995
00:46:56,693 --> 00:46:58,813
Speaker 2: every time I go down to christ Church it seems

996
00:46:59,133 --> 00:47:01,413
Speaker 2: like it's just getting better and better.

997
00:47:01,573 --> 00:47:02,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it.

998
00:47:02,453 --> 00:47:04,613
Speaker 2: Actually feels like the most vibrant part of the country

999
00:47:04,613 --> 00:47:05,133
Speaker 2: at the moment.

1000
00:47:05,213 --> 00:47:06,813
Speaker 3: Great city. You can make up a start at home

1001
00:47:06,813 --> 00:47:08,533
Speaker 3: for six hundred absolutely, Yeah.

1002
00:47:08,453 --> 00:47:10,973
Speaker 2: You could pick up a very nice townhouse in christ

1003
00:47:11,053 --> 00:47:11,772
Speaker 2: Church for that much.

1004
00:47:11,893 --> 00:47:14,373
Speaker 3: Easy. Yeah. I think we had a beautiful three bedroom

1005
00:47:14,413 --> 00:47:17,453
Speaker 3: that we paid five thirty four or four years ago. Yeah,

1006
00:47:17,653 --> 00:47:20,093
Speaker 3: granted it's gone up a bit since then, but that's

1007
00:47:20,093 --> 00:47:22,893
Speaker 3: a three bedroom with quite a big section. So to

1008
00:47:22,973 --> 00:47:25,893
Speaker 3: do the old two bedroom townhouse, I think easily you

1009
00:47:25,893 --> 00:47:27,253
Speaker 3: can get something nice for five point fifty.

1010
00:47:28,133 --> 00:47:30,253
Speaker 2: This is what I think. Boys, ask not what your

1011
00:47:30,253 --> 00:47:32,133
Speaker 2: country can do for you, but what you can do

1012
00:47:32,213 --> 00:47:34,573
Speaker 2: for your country. I must be thick as then because

1013
00:47:34,653 --> 00:47:38,053
Speaker 2: I have stayed here and loved this country God's own boys,

1014
00:47:38,093 --> 00:47:41,652
Speaker 2: God's on. No Snoke's going to bite you here. Philm Yeah, yeah,

1015
00:47:41,693 --> 00:47:43,093
Speaker 2: I mean I'm kind of like that to say that

1016
00:47:43,213 --> 00:47:46,773
Speaker 2: you're dumb to stay here. You know, you're running away

1017
00:47:46,773 --> 00:47:49,413
Speaker 2: from the fight. I mean, this is my country. Yeah,

1018
00:47:49,453 --> 00:47:54,053
Speaker 2: so there's something to be honorable to make it work here. Yeah,

1019
00:47:54,093 --> 00:47:56,172
Speaker 2: you know, and I imagine most of those people leaving

1020
00:47:56,373 --> 00:47:58,693
Speaker 2: and I may come in here and make it better

1021
00:47:58,733 --> 00:48:01,613
Speaker 2: here because I mean, yeah, I mean, let's go to

1022
00:48:02,853 --> 00:48:04,893
Speaker 2: You know that there's something to say for doing the

1023
00:48:04,933 --> 00:48:07,853
Speaker 2: thing for the community where you are. Jerry, Welcome to

1024
00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:08,533
Speaker 2: the show Mate.

1025
00:48:10,173 --> 00:48:12,013
Speaker 4: Looks at the second time in seven days, you guys

1026
00:48:12,053 --> 00:48:15,013
Speaker 4: are ring me to come on air, but you're going

1027
00:48:15,093 --> 00:48:16,732
Speaker 4: to have to fight with Kerry in the morning from

1028
00:48:16,813 --> 00:48:19,173
Speaker 4: nine because I am her favorite. She has told me

1029
00:48:19,213 --> 00:48:20,693
Speaker 4: this many times.

1030
00:48:21,213 --> 00:48:24,533
Speaker 3: Jerry, So mate, let's have a chat about Australia and

1031
00:48:24,893 --> 00:48:26,493
Speaker 3: the land of so called milk and honey.

1032
00:48:26,493 --> 00:48:27,373
Speaker 2: Do you believe that.

1033
00:48:28,773 --> 00:48:31,613
Speaker 4: I think New Zealand's in a very very difficult position.

1034
00:48:32,813 --> 00:48:34,853
Speaker 4: I think that we were, you know, we will promise

1035
00:48:34,933 --> 00:48:38,013
Speaker 4: it in you know, an election, whether you've had a blue, red, green,

1036
00:48:38,133 --> 00:48:42,093
Speaker 4: yellow and indigo or purple, that you know, we were

1037
00:48:42,133 --> 00:48:46,573
Speaker 4: going to pull ourselves out of the coming battle. And

1038
00:48:46,693 --> 00:48:51,692
Speaker 4: the battle has proven itself to be very very very

1039
00:48:51,773 --> 00:48:55,893
Speaker 4: difficult for middle class and also the lower economic class

1040
00:48:55,933 --> 00:49:00,093
Speaker 4: as well, you know, and that that seems to be

1041
00:49:00,333 --> 00:49:06,373
Speaker 4: a grueling hangover which we can't seem to shake. You

1042
00:49:06,373 --> 00:49:08,133
Speaker 4: guys mentioned about you know, is it greener on the

1043
00:49:08,133 --> 00:49:12,133
Speaker 4: other side? And you know, I think each country genuinely

1044
00:49:12,133 --> 00:49:14,893
Speaker 4: has their own merits. The one problem in New Zealand

1045
00:49:14,893 --> 00:49:16,893
Speaker 4: we do have is we are the smallest fish in

1046
00:49:16,893 --> 00:49:20,933
Speaker 4: the world's biggest ocean and for us to export is

1047
00:49:20,973 --> 00:49:24,213
Speaker 4: horrifically expensive to get our product out there. Also for

1048
00:49:24,293 --> 00:49:26,093
Speaker 4: us to import, it's the same thing so whether we're

1049
00:49:26,093 --> 00:49:29,293
Speaker 4: importing you know, elitical goods or you know, bedding or

1050
00:49:29,293 --> 00:49:34,053
Speaker 4: whatever it might be, or hardware, you know, there's no

1051
00:49:35,013 --> 00:49:37,653
Speaker 4: next stop on the shipping route. They come to New Zealand,

1052
00:49:37,653 --> 00:49:39,613
Speaker 4: they pick up the chip boarding or their woodchips, and

1053
00:49:39,653 --> 00:49:43,333
Speaker 4: off they go again. Where we don't have a position

1054
00:49:43,373 --> 00:49:46,692
Speaker 4: where we can be a strong export partners. That has

1055
00:49:46,733 --> 00:49:49,373
Speaker 4: to either get flown out ship back to Australia and

1056
00:49:49,413 --> 00:49:52,773
Speaker 4: then distributed across the world. And that just unfortunately has

1057
00:49:52,813 --> 00:49:57,733
Speaker 4: its costs to the manufacturer or the wholesaler. But in

1058
00:49:57,893 --> 00:50:00,693
Speaker 4: saying that, I can see why this article that you

1059
00:50:00,693 --> 00:50:03,733
Speaker 4: guys brought up at the start has started to obs

1060
00:50:03,773 --> 00:50:06,653
Speaker 4: get some traction, particularly with you guys, because it's obviously

1061
00:50:06,813 --> 00:50:09,893
Speaker 4: struck a nerve which totally understand. You know, like we

1062
00:50:10,693 --> 00:50:13,732
Speaker 4: you know, I'm thirty four now. When I was growing

1063
00:50:13,813 --> 00:50:15,813
Speaker 4: up here in the little old South Island, New Zealand,

1064
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:18,853
Speaker 4: I was so proud to be in New Zealander. You know,

1065
00:50:18,933 --> 00:50:21,773
Speaker 4: we were clean and green, we had a great living,

1066
00:50:23,253 --> 00:50:26,533
Speaker 4: a great economy. People could have thought buy their own

1067
00:50:26,573 --> 00:50:30,013
Speaker 4: home with only you know, they're ten thousand deposit back

1068
00:50:30,013 --> 00:50:34,053
Speaker 4: when I was a young lad. And now that's changed,

1069
00:50:34,173 --> 00:50:36,933
Speaker 4: and the problem with that is to get into a

1070
00:50:36,973 --> 00:50:39,373
Speaker 4: house unless sure a doubling come earner, so you know,

1071
00:50:39,613 --> 00:50:43,413
Speaker 4: wife and no kids or boyfriend, whatever you're whatever team

1072
00:50:43,413 --> 00:50:47,093
Speaker 4: you're batting for, girlfriend and girlfriend or whatever. You know,

1073
00:50:46,813 --> 00:50:49,133
Speaker 4: you have to have that now to get into a house,

1074
00:50:49,173 --> 00:50:50,733
Speaker 4: because to have something to save you one hundred and

1075
00:50:50,773 --> 00:50:54,252
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars to buy their own house, particularly when

1076
00:50:54,253 --> 00:50:59,253
Speaker 4: money is so tight, it's quite a stretch. So as

1077
00:50:59,293 --> 00:51:01,933
Speaker 4: I might have said in my text to the show

1078
00:51:02,213 --> 00:51:04,973
Speaker 4: was if you were someone graduating, you've got a seriously,

1079
00:51:05,133 --> 00:51:08,253
Speaker 4: you know, think about it. Am I going to get

1080
00:51:08,253 --> 00:51:09,653
Speaker 4: a job and how I'm going to get paid for

1081
00:51:09,733 --> 00:51:12,133
Speaker 4: what I'm worth? Because if you're not, you've seriously got

1082
00:51:12,133 --> 00:51:17,333
Speaker 4: to consider going, you know, potentially moving to get the money.

1083
00:51:17,613 --> 00:51:19,813
Speaker 4: I would advise not to be the lady in the

1084
00:51:19,813 --> 00:51:22,253
Speaker 4: paper recently who you know, was sixty four years of

1085
00:51:22,293 --> 00:51:24,133
Speaker 4: age and is still a student land one hundred thousand dollars.

1086
00:51:24,293 --> 00:51:27,813
Speaker 4: That's probably just mismanagement for the best part. But you know,

1087
00:51:27,933 --> 00:51:30,813
Speaker 4: every year our wages seemed to go up, which you

1088
00:51:30,813 --> 00:51:35,373
Speaker 4: know mistigates or minimizes the trained professionals from actually being

1089
00:51:35,413 --> 00:51:38,693
Speaker 4: worth what they're worth. You know, and I'd say the

1090
00:51:38,733 --> 00:51:40,812
Speaker 4: same for you guys. You know, you guys are well

1091
00:51:40,853 --> 00:51:44,893
Speaker 4: cultured journalists and you know disc jockeys and journalists you

1092
00:51:44,933 --> 00:51:50,973
Speaker 4: know well well you know, you know, okayalking.

1093
00:51:51,053 --> 00:51:54,933
Speaker 2: Talking here, blathering mouth, you know what I mean.

1094
00:51:55,413 --> 00:51:58,493
Speaker 4: Like, you know, like whatever your job was fifteen years

1095
00:51:58,533 --> 00:52:01,493
Speaker 4: ago is worth less than what you know today. That's

1096
00:52:01,573 --> 00:52:04,293
Speaker 4: just the reality of it. And the Reserve Bank has

1097
00:52:04,653 --> 00:52:07,773
Speaker 4: let the whole country down. I think Duncan Garner had

1098
00:52:07,773 --> 00:52:09,573
Speaker 4: a very good point into one of us podcasts that

1099
00:52:10,453 --> 00:52:14,213
Speaker 4: you know, the Reserve Bank needs to actually drop the

1100
00:52:14,293 --> 00:52:16,293
Speaker 4: rate so far that we actually start see an increase

1101
00:52:16,333 --> 00:52:18,373
Speaker 4: inflation to get an m pull it back. Because right

1102
00:52:18,413 --> 00:52:22,453
Speaker 4: now I'm in retail and I'll tell you right now,

1103
00:52:22,533 --> 00:52:24,453
Speaker 4: I'm the lowest paid in the business and I employ

1104
00:52:24,533 --> 00:52:25,133
Speaker 4: seven people.

1105
00:52:25,573 --> 00:52:26,252
Speaker 5: How does that work?

1106
00:52:27,013 --> 00:52:29,613
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry, thank you very much for giving us a

1107
00:52:29,613 --> 00:52:31,733
Speaker 3: buzz lovely to get your thoughts.

1108
00:52:32,853 --> 00:52:34,933
Speaker 2: There are companies that have scale out of New Zealand,

1109
00:52:34,973 --> 00:52:39,013
Speaker 2: of course, you know, I mean Fonterra famously, Fisher and Pykel,

1110
00:52:39,453 --> 00:52:41,573
Speaker 2: zero Rocket Lab.

1111
00:52:42,133 --> 00:52:45,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, even old les Mills. Yeah, yep, very true. I mean,

1112
00:52:45,173 --> 00:52:47,573
Speaker 3: the more that I'm hearing these arguments from people saying

1113
00:52:48,253 --> 00:52:51,013
Speaker 3: they can see why younger people in particular are going

1114
00:52:51,133 --> 00:52:54,933
Speaker 3: across to Australia. Nothing wrong with chasing opportunity, and if

1115
00:52:54,933 --> 00:52:57,293
Speaker 3: you've got something lined up or you can see away

1116
00:52:57,773 --> 00:52:59,933
Speaker 3: to set yourself up for life, of course you do that.

1117
00:53:00,333 --> 00:53:02,733
Speaker 3: But the thing I really pisses me off about this

1118
00:53:02,853 --> 00:53:07,093
Speaker 3: article is the defeatism that things apparently, and I don't

1119
00:53:07,093 --> 00:53:10,013
Speaker 3: believe this, but if people people think that crap here,

1120
00:53:10,053 --> 00:53:13,613
Speaker 3: just upsticks and leave instead of staying here and making

1121
00:53:13,693 --> 00:53:16,733
Speaker 3: things better in your own home, in your own country,

1122
00:53:16,893 --> 00:53:19,973
Speaker 3: and I worry that's kind of beested new certainly.

1123
00:53:19,653 --> 00:53:21,893
Speaker 2: Nothing to be And the suggestion in this article is

1124
00:53:21,933 --> 00:53:23,573
Speaker 2: you should be proud, and you're an idiot to stay.

1125
00:53:23,653 --> 00:53:27,212
Speaker 2: So she's basically saying in this article that there's no

1126
00:53:27,293 --> 00:53:31,293
Speaker 2: reason to stay here other than what it can do

1127
00:53:31,373 --> 00:53:34,413
Speaker 2: for you as a country financially. That they would never

1128
00:53:34,453 --> 00:53:37,173
Speaker 2: take into account that you may care about your community,

1129
00:53:37,213 --> 00:53:39,053
Speaker 2: and you may care about your country, and you may

1130
00:53:39,053 --> 00:53:41,533
Speaker 2: be patriotic and you want to make the place the better.

1131
00:53:42,053 --> 00:53:45,453
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're in the case of Jerry,

1132
00:53:45,493 --> 00:53:48,533
Speaker 2: that we were just talking to employee people and fight

1133
00:53:48,573 --> 00:53:51,573
Speaker 2: the good fight for your country. They would someone like

1134
00:53:51,613 --> 00:53:53,293
Speaker 2: this in an article like this that would never cross

1135
00:53:53,373 --> 00:53:55,533
Speaker 2: their mind that there may be there is virtue and

1136
00:53:55,613 --> 00:53:57,773
Speaker 2: that it's just where can I get the absolute best deal.

1137
00:53:57,813 --> 00:54:00,172
Speaker 2: But I would also say this Texas says, my son's

1138
00:54:00,213 --> 00:54:01,733
Speaker 2: been in Perth less than a year, managed to buy

1139
00:54:01,773 --> 00:54:04,693
Speaker 2: a two bedroom apartment last week, moves in this Wednesday.

1140
00:54:05,013 --> 00:54:07,373
Speaker 2: You can buy a two bedroom apartment in New Zealand

1141
00:54:07,453 --> 00:54:09,652
Speaker 2: for not very much. You know, if you decide to

1142
00:54:09,733 --> 00:54:11,493
Speaker 2: live in the center of Auckland and then sure that's going

1143
00:54:11,573 --> 00:54:13,933
Speaker 2: to be hard to do. But there's plenty of places,

1144
00:54:14,013 --> 00:54:16,933
Speaker 2: and there's there's places, and I'm talking about christ Church.

1145
00:54:16,933 --> 00:54:19,573
Speaker 2: We're not driving that far compared to where you driving

1146
00:54:19,613 --> 00:54:23,292
Speaker 2: an Australian city into into work. That you can get

1147
00:54:23,853 --> 00:54:27,453
Speaker 2: a good place for a reasonable amount. And what we

1148
00:54:27,493 --> 00:54:29,773
Speaker 2: seem to do in New Zealand is compare not like

1149
00:54:29,853 --> 00:54:31,493
Speaker 2: for like we go, Oh this is how much as

1150
00:54:31,533 --> 00:54:34,173
Speaker 2: it is in the center of Auckland. But my cousin

1151
00:54:34,733 --> 00:54:37,493
Speaker 2: bought a place in rural Queensland.

1152
00:54:36,973 --> 00:54:40,813

1167
00:55:15,213 --> 00:55:17,692

00:55:30,053 --> 00:55:32,213
Speaker 2: a block of eight to ten with no garage or parking,

1174
00:55:32,333 --> 00:55:35,573
Speaker 2: only on street parking will cost you six hundred thousand plus.

1175
00:55:35,613 --> 00:55:37,652
Speaker 2: A standalone with garage and parking will sit you back

1176
00:55:37,653 --> 00:55:40,493
Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty thousand plus if you're lucky. A

1177
00:55:40,613 --> 00:55:43,733
Speaker 2: great show, cheers Raymond. So we were talking about christ Chitch.

1178
00:55:43,773 --> 00:55:46,293
Speaker 2: So I'm just looking at here for five hundred and

1179
00:55:46,373 --> 00:55:50,253
Speaker 2: nine thousand. Oh actually that's a one bedroom all right, okay, okay,

1180
00:55:50,573 --> 00:55:55,573
Speaker 2: fair cop three bedrooms, two bathrooms in Saint Albans, christ Church,

1181
00:55:55,613 --> 00:55:58,573
Speaker 2: six hundred and eighty five thousand. That's got a park.

1182
00:55:59,133 --> 00:56:01,493
Speaker 2: Here we go here, Look this looks bloody good. Six

1183
00:56:01,613 --> 00:56:04,333
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen. This is Peterborough Street.

1184
00:56:04,533 --> 00:56:05,573
Speaker 3: Oh that's right in the middle.

1185
00:56:05,693 --> 00:56:11,173
Speaker 2: Two bedrooms rooms, yeah, six hundred and nineteen. It's good value,

1186
00:56:11,213 --> 00:56:11,933
Speaker 2: worth a park.

1187
00:56:12,253 --> 00:56:15,013
Speaker 3: This one here four nine to nine and it's in

1188
00:56:15,173 --> 00:56:18,973
Speaker 3: Salisbury Street ride in central christ Church. Three bed one

1189
00:56:19,053 --> 00:56:20,093
Speaker 3: bath one garage.

1190
00:56:20,173 --> 00:56:25,813
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at this spacious three bedrooms garage plus parking

1192
00:56:33,773 --> 00:56:34,453
Speaker 2: and eighty nine thousand.

00:56:34,613 --> 00:56:35,773
Speaker 3: Jesus good value.

1194
00:56:36,093 --> 00:56:38,733
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can I mean, I mean maybe the

1195
00:56:38,773 --> 00:56:41,453
Speaker 2: five point fifty. You know, you have to look around.

1196
00:56:41,533 --> 00:56:44,053
Speaker 2: But my point was really that, you know, compared to

1197
00:56:44,133 --> 00:56:47,293
Speaker 2: the distances that you drive in some of these big countries,

1198
00:56:47,693 --> 00:56:50,173
Speaker 2: you can buy what would seem to be on the

1199
00:56:50,213 --> 00:56:54,533
Speaker 2: outskirts of christ Church, which is actually only a ten

1200
00:56:54,573 --> 00:56:57,293
Speaker 2: minute drive at best into work and get some incredible

1201
00:56:57,373 --> 00:57:00,213
Speaker 2: value down there, you know. And I've talked to people

1202
00:57:00,213 --> 00:57:03,013
Speaker 2: that have moved to christ Church from overseas and they

1203
00:57:03,093 --> 00:57:05,692
Speaker 2: laugh at people talking about their commutes, because if you're

1204
00:57:05,733 --> 00:57:09,093
Speaker 2: from the United Kingdom then you just laugh at the

1205
00:57:09,133 --> 00:57:11,893
Speaker 2: idea that fifteen minute drive to work is a problem.

1206
00:57:12,093 --> 00:57:13,013
Speaker 3: It's all about context.

1207
00:57:13,093 --> 00:57:13,453
Speaker 5: I wasn't it.

1208
00:57:13,453 --> 00:57:15,053
Speaker 3: Because when we were shopping for the first time, I

1209
00:57:15,053 --> 00:57:17,333
Speaker 3: think I've told you this, and we brought out in Parklands,

1210
00:57:17,333 --> 00:57:19,093
Speaker 3: which is by the beach. I thought it was out

1211
00:57:19,093 --> 00:57:21,213
Speaker 3: in the sticks and I said to made so man,

1212
00:57:21,253 --> 00:57:23,253
Speaker 3: we're miles away from the Senate City. It was ten

1213
00:57:23,293 --> 00:57:26,893
Speaker 3: minutes in ten minutes into the center city is miles out.

1214
00:57:26,973 --> 00:57:29,413
Speaker 2: And I've got a text here saying pushing back on

1215
00:57:29,493 --> 00:57:35,053
Speaker 2: Labrador Gold Coast. Labrador Gold Coast is not a good area.

1216
00:57:35,133 --> 00:57:35,933
Speaker 3: It had it all with the.

1217
00:57:35,973 --> 00:57:40,013
Speaker 2: Name either away from the central popular areas. Yeah, so

1218
00:57:40,053 --> 00:57:41,853
Speaker 2: that's the thing we keep comparing. Someone will have an

1219
00:57:41,893 --> 00:57:44,093
Speaker 2: example of something that's happening in Australia, but you've got

1220
00:57:44,093 --> 00:57:45,533
Speaker 2: to compare a light to like in New Zealand.

1221
00:57:45,573 --> 00:57:47,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, very true. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

1222
00:57:48,133 --> 00:57:49,733
Speaker 3: is the number to call. We've got full wards. If

1223
00:57:49,733 --> 00:57:52,573
Speaker 3: you can't get through, keep trying. It is twenty nine

1224
00:57:52,613 --> 00:57:54,453
Speaker 3: to three.

1225
00:57:55,293 --> 00:57:58,453
Speaker 12: Hus Talk said the headlines with Blue Bubble taxis It's

1226
00:57:58,493 --> 00:58:01,333
Speaker 12: no trouble with a blue bubble. A group of Christian

1227
00:58:01,413 --> 00:58:05,093
Speaker 12: leaders are promising to stay chained to Nikola Willis's Johnsonville

1228
00:58:05,133 --> 00:58:08,253
Speaker 12: electorate office until the government commits to sanction Is for

1229
00:58:08,813 --> 00:58:12,493
Speaker 12: the war in Gaza. Earlier, five clergy were trespassed from

1230
00:58:12,533 --> 00:58:17,373
Speaker 12: Simeon Brown's Pakaranga electorate office. Anzt Australia is facing a

1231
00:58:17,453 --> 00:58:21,253
Speaker 12: record two hundred and forty million dollar penalty across the Tasman.

1232
00:58:21,813 --> 00:58:25,573
Speaker 12: It relates to alleged unconscionable conduct in some of its

1233
00:58:25,613 --> 00:58:28,813
Speaker 12: bond training for the Australian government, as well as alleged

1234
00:58:28,893 --> 00:58:35,253
Speaker 12: widespread misconduct affecting nearly sixty five thousand Australian consumers. Half

00:59:14,053 --> 00:59:16,773
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Wendy. So we've asked the question

1249
00:59:17,213 --> 00:59:18,893
Speaker 3: are you dumb to live in New Zealand? And the

1250
00:59:18,933 --> 00:59:21,733
Speaker 3: reason we've asked that is because that was one of

1251
00:59:21,733 --> 00:59:25,613
Speaker 3: the statements in an opinion piece by Verity Johnson. Quite inflammatory,

1252
00:59:25,733 --> 00:59:27,133
Speaker 3: a lot of people.

Speaker 20: you why there's a little bit of.

1266
01:00:02,293 --> 01:00:04,853
Speaker 19: Humor in us. My wife and I Ah and our

1267
01:00:04,933 --> 01:00:07,253
Speaker 19: second piece. We have two sons.

1268
01:00:07,693 --> 01:00:09,213
Speaker 1: One is.

1269
01:00:11,333 --> 01:00:15,333
Speaker 20: Very right and he's a leader in robotics. He's worked

1270
01:00:15,333 --> 01:00:19,733
Speaker 20: in for a Ferrari, worked all over the world. And

1271
01:00:19,813 --> 01:00:22,013
Speaker 20: the other day this is why I'm having a chuckle, gentlemen,

1272
01:00:22,573 --> 01:00:25,093
Speaker 20: he goes, Papa, I've got to be the dumbest person

1273
01:00:25,133 --> 01:00:25,813
Speaker 20: in New Zealand.

1274
01:00:26,813 --> 01:00:31,173
Speaker 19: And I said, I won't mention his name because he's well. No,

1275
01:00:31,733 --> 01:00:34,613
Speaker 19: I said, why is that son? He said, well, I

1276
01:00:34,653 --> 01:00:39,493
Speaker 19: could be making millions around the world, but I I

1277
01:00:39,533 --> 01:00:44,293
Speaker 19: love my country, I love my family, and I'm here

1278
01:00:44,653 --> 01:00:46,853
Speaker 19: and it's what I can do in this country for

1279
01:00:46,973 --> 01:00:51,373
Speaker 19: my children. There we go.

1280
01:00:52,293 --> 01:00:54,093
Speaker 2: I can hear the national anthem playing in the back

1281
01:00:54,173 --> 01:00:56,293
Speaker 2: of my head when you say that, what a great

1282
01:00:56,293 --> 01:00:58,213
Speaker 2: New Zealander your son as.

1283
01:00:59,173 --> 01:01:02,173
Speaker 19: But for your own son. And I've got another son, tourn.

1284
01:01:02,253 --> 01:01:06,413
Speaker 19: Their partners leaders in that in their fields as well,

1285
01:01:06,453 --> 01:01:09,613
Speaker 19: in medicine and what have you. And yeah, these are

1286
01:01:09,613 --> 01:01:13,373
Speaker 19: good girls. And where I'm just simply going with this

1287
01:01:14,533 --> 01:01:17,973
Speaker 19: Matt and Tyler and for your listeners, the four of

1288
01:01:18,013 --> 01:01:22,213
Speaker 19: them actually acknowledge they are in their minds the dumbest

1289
01:01:22,293 --> 01:01:26,253
Speaker 19: human beings in New Zealand. But without I'm going to

1290
01:01:26,253 --> 01:01:28,693
Speaker 19: be careful here. As my late father said, still praise,

1291
01:01:28,693 --> 01:01:32,733
Speaker 19: there's no recommendation, but they are actually leaders in their fields.

1292
01:01:32,733 --> 01:01:36,173
Speaker 2: With the New Zealand Yeah, well it sounds like you've

1293
01:01:36,173 --> 01:01:37,013
Speaker 2: got to impress.

1294
01:01:36,693 --> 01:01:39,813
Speaker 3: A family and like that. That's the whole point is.

1295
01:01:41,013 --> 01:01:45,933
Speaker 2: We should celebrate people that could go and take the

1296
01:01:45,933 --> 01:01:49,933
Speaker 2: big money overseas but choose to stay here and make

1297
01:01:49,933 --> 01:01:53,773
Speaker 2: a real mark here for their family, their community and

1298
01:01:53,893 --> 01:01:54,973
Speaker 2: the country as a whole.

1299
01:01:55,053 --> 01:01:55,333
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1300
01:01:55,373 --> 01:01:59,693
Speaker 2: I mean those that's fantastic. I mean you're great. But

1301
01:01:59,733 --> 01:02:01,413
Speaker 2: we seem to have this attitude in New Zealand. We

1302
01:02:01,453 --> 01:02:03,933
Speaker 2: go no, No, you're an idiot. You should go. You

1303
01:02:03,973 --> 01:02:07,293
Speaker 2: should get out of here. We're rubbish, but go away. Yeah,

1304
01:02:07,453 --> 01:02:10,613
Speaker 2: make money over there, make make Australia better.

1305
01:02:10,573 --> 01:02:13,773
Speaker 3: Wake defeative. But when did that start? Generally? Because I

1306
01:02:14,253 --> 01:02:16,373
Speaker 3: love this country and it has given me a lot

1307
01:02:16,373 --> 01:02:19,573
Speaker 3: of news. It's got its problems, but that internal I'm

1308
01:02:19,573 --> 01:02:22,053
Speaker 3: not going to bugger off and leave because New Zealand

1309
01:02:22,093 --> 01:02:23,653
Speaker 3: can be kick us again and I want to be

1310
01:02:23,653 --> 01:02:25,493
Speaker 3: a part of that. So when do we stop thinking

1311
01:02:25,533 --> 01:02:25,813
Speaker 3: like that?

1312
01:02:25,933 --> 01:02:26,893
Speaker 2: Cody? Can we get you.

1313
01:02:26,893 --> 01:02:28,893
Speaker 21: Now you can you hear me at this time?

1314
01:02:28,973 --> 01:02:31,053
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure what happened there, but I'm

1315
01:02:31,093 --> 01:02:33,373
Speaker 2: glad to have you now. Cody, your thoughts on.

1316
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:37,213
Speaker 21: This at the phone travels today. Yeah, I grew up

1317
01:02:37,253 --> 01:02:39,533
Speaker 21: in Southland. I've lived in a few countries, so I've

1318
01:02:39,573 --> 01:02:42,293
Speaker 21: lived in Australia, I've lived in Singapore and more recently

1319
01:02:42,333 --> 01:02:45,053
Speaker 21: I lived in the States and is a few of

1320
01:02:45,053 --> 01:02:46,853
Speaker 21: the callers have said the grass as a noise greener

1321
01:02:47,533 --> 01:02:49,893
Speaker 21: Australia obviously lots of Australians, which I'm not a big

1322
01:02:49,933 --> 01:02:54,893
Speaker 21: fan of. But it's it's I don't know you guy

1323
01:02:54,933 --> 01:02:57,093
Speaker 21: talking about Perth earlier on that person is boring his sin,

1324
01:02:57,213 --> 01:02:59,453
Speaker 21: like there's only thing to do in pursase fly somewhere else.

1325
01:03:00,533 --> 01:03:02,973
Speaker 2: I was thinking that.

1326
01:03:03,733 --> 01:03:06,533
Speaker 3: The opera house is pretty nice for one one look

1327
01:03:06,693 --> 01:03:08,533
Speaker 3: and then and then after that, is there a Perth

1328
01:03:08,573 --> 01:03:09,133
Speaker 3: opera house?

1329
01:03:09,493 --> 01:03:09,653
Speaker 4: Oh?

1330
01:03:09,733 --> 01:03:11,733
Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't know.

1331
01:03:11,773 --> 01:03:14,493
Speaker 2: I don't know how Tyler, I don't know how good

1332
01:03:14,493 --> 01:03:17,053
Speaker 2: the Perth opera housesry about the.

1333
01:03:17,133 --> 01:03:19,493
Speaker 21: Coddy, Yeah, I like Singapore store as well, where there's

1334
01:03:19,493 --> 01:03:21,693
Speaker 21: a concrete jungle. And the States obviously were we see

1335
01:03:21,693 --> 01:03:23,133
Speaker 21: the States in the news all the time at the

1336
01:03:23,173 --> 01:03:26,693
Speaker 21: moment for the wrong reasons, Like New Zealand is expensive.

1337
01:03:28,373 --> 01:03:30,013
Speaker 21: You've got this, You've got the scenery here, you've got

1338
01:03:30,013 --> 01:03:31,933
Speaker 21: the nature, you've got the beaches, the seasons, like we've

1339
01:03:31,933 --> 01:03:33,973
Speaker 21: certainly got the seasons obviously ten seasons in one day

1340
01:03:33,973 --> 01:03:36,453
Speaker 21: at the moment, which is a bit of pain. But

1341
01:03:36,773 --> 01:03:39,053
Speaker 21: I like that, you know, Like I lived in in Singapore,

1342
01:03:39,093 --> 01:03:41,333
Speaker 21: there's just it's just hot. You meid, every day you're living.

1343
01:03:41,333 --> 01:03:43,693
Speaker 21: You're living in the middle of a big city. The

1344
01:03:43,733 --> 01:03:45,453
Speaker 21: States was all right, but people were trying to leave

1345
01:03:45,493 --> 01:03:47,493
Speaker 21: there as well. Like you know, the people are just

1346
01:03:47,933 --> 01:03:49,453
Speaker 21: you might think it's a great place, but there's just

1347
01:03:49,453 --> 01:03:51,453
Speaker 21: as many people trying to live there, I guess per

1348
01:03:51,493 --> 01:03:54,573
Speaker 21: capita as there is in New Zealand and Australia.

1349
01:03:55,133 --> 01:03:56,213
Speaker 22: Like I was there last week.

1350
01:03:56,333 --> 01:03:56,653
Speaker 5: I don't.

1351
01:03:56,773 --> 01:03:58,613
Speaker 21: I don't know, Like it just doesn't do much for me.

1352
01:03:58,933 --> 01:04:00,853
Speaker 21: But you've got the other in towns, Like you've got

1353
01:04:00,853 --> 01:04:02,693
Speaker 21: your nice cities, but there's just nothing around them.

1354
01:04:02,933 --> 01:04:03,453
Speaker 3: Now around here.

1355
01:04:03,493 --> 01:04:05,333
Speaker 21: You've got in the mountains, you've got the beach, the

1356
01:04:05,373 --> 01:04:07,573
Speaker 21: pocket lake. You know, you just don't have there that

1357
01:04:07,613 --> 01:04:10,213
Speaker 21: You've got to drive. It's four hours to go on

1358
01:04:10,253 --> 01:04:12,173
Speaker 21: ear from Townsville and it's just a kens which is

1359
01:04:12,173 --> 01:04:16,413
Speaker 21: another city which is basically the same. Yeah that's my opinion.

1360
01:04:16,453 --> 01:04:16,813
Speaker 19: Anyway.

1361
01:04:16,933 --> 01:04:18,733
Speaker 2: Now, good on you, Cody. I'm glad we got through.

1362
01:04:19,293 --> 01:04:21,573
Speaker 2: Now it's funny you're talking about the Perth Opera House.

1363
01:04:22,213 --> 01:04:24,613
Speaker 3: Is there actually they actually got there's actually a bold

1364
01:04:24,613 --> 01:04:25,413
Speaker 3: I'm just looking at it.

1365
01:04:25,413 --> 01:04:28,213
Speaker 2: There's a bold one point two billion on a plan

1366
01:04:28,373 --> 01:04:30,253
Speaker 2: to make an opera house that looks like a giant

1367
01:04:30,253 --> 01:04:30,813
Speaker 2: in Chilada.

1368
01:04:32,093 --> 01:04:33,533
Speaker 3: Well, there you go. That's what I was talking about.

1369
01:04:33,533 --> 01:04:35,293
Speaker 2: All of this actually pretty cool if they made it.

1370
01:04:35,333 --> 01:04:41,573
Speaker 3: Perth Opera House. Oh yeah, Oh it's funky.

1371
01:04:41,453 --> 01:04:43,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, fun I mean they haven't made it yet, so

1372
01:04:43,333 --> 01:04:45,373
Speaker 2: you know that's not going to draw you to Perth.

1373
01:04:45,453 --> 01:04:47,773
Speaker 2: But but there are suggestions that they should spend one

1374
01:04:47,773 --> 01:04:50,773
Speaker 2: point two billion, and obviously this one's heavily influenced by

1375
01:04:50,813 --> 01:04:51,733
Speaker 2: the Sydney Opera House.

1376
01:04:52,013 --> 01:04:55,293
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Now we've got an email through here from

1377
01:04:55,293 --> 01:04:58,493
Speaker 3: somebody who lives on the Gold Coast. Have we got time? No,

1378
01:04:58,893 --> 01:05:01,773
Speaker 3: we'll play some messages and then read that out. But

1379
01:05:01,893 --> 01:05:03,253
Speaker 3: can you hear your views? I on one hundred and

1380
01:05:03,293 --> 01:05:05,413
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty do you feel dumb to staying in

1381
01:05:05,453 --> 01:05:07,093
Speaker 3: New Zealand? Did it is nineteen to three?

1382
01:05:08,493 --> 01:05:12,653
Speaker 1: Stories the big issues, the big trends and everything in between.

1383
01:05:12,853 --> 01:05:16,053
Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks.

1384
01:05:15,773 --> 01:05:18,733
Speaker 3: That'd be afternoon. It is sixteen to three. Are you

1385
01:05:18,853 --> 01:05:21,773
Speaker 3: dumb for living in New Zealand? According to Verity Johnson's friends,

1386
01:05:21,813 --> 01:05:22,293
Speaker 3: you might be.

1387
01:05:22,453 --> 01:05:25,493
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, I'm tired of hearing and negativity about this beautiful,

1388
01:05:25,733 --> 01:05:29,573
Speaker 2: spacious country just when we need positivity. Most people have

1389
01:05:29,813 --> 01:05:33,733
Speaker 2: all they really need, but not what they want. Life

1390
01:05:33,773 --> 01:05:36,093
Speaker 2: will get better. Yeah, yeah, we go that. I mean,

1391
01:05:36,093 --> 01:05:39,693
Speaker 2: what's you know? That attitude has become unfashionable to just say,

1392
01:05:40,133 --> 01:05:42,813
Speaker 2: you know, we live in a beautiful country. Let's make

1393
01:05:42,853 --> 01:05:45,693
Speaker 2: it work. Let's all knuckle down together and do it

1394
01:05:46,053 --> 01:05:48,013
Speaker 2: and make New Zealand fantastic.

1395
01:05:48,093 --> 01:05:50,493
Speaker 3: We used to be like that. Now good email here

1396
01:05:50,533 --> 01:05:52,933
Speaker 3: from a fellow who is living in the Gold Coast.

1397
01:05:52,933 --> 01:05:54,813
Speaker 3: You see get a Matt and Tyler. I lived on

1398
01:05:54,853 --> 01:05:56,733
Speaker 3: the Goldie for the last eighteen years and it's a

1399
01:05:56,773 --> 01:05:59,333
Speaker 3: fallacy that everything is better and cheaper in Australia. The

1400
01:05:59,333 --> 01:06:02,813
Speaker 3: Gold Coast particularly is facing significant infrastructure issues due to

1401
01:06:02,853 --> 01:06:05,613
Speaker 3: the influx of people from overseas Victoria and New South Wales,

1402
01:06:05,733 --> 01:06:07,613
Speaker 3: which has been poorly managed and can't keep up with

1403
01:06:07,653 --> 01:06:11,013
Speaker 3: the population. Traffic is horrific, there are not enough houses

1404
01:06:11,093 --> 01:06:13,693
Speaker 3: or rentals, headlines of the cost of living crisis and

1405
01:06:13,733 --> 01:06:16,453
Speaker 3: difficulty for first time buyers to purchase homes. Of the

1406
01:06:16,493 --> 01:06:20,333
Speaker 3: same rhetoric in all of Australia. Despite being fortunate enough

1407
01:06:20,373 --> 01:06:22,493
Speaker 3: to own our own house next to the beach, which

1408
01:06:22,533 --> 01:06:25,053
Speaker 3: is the so called dream, my Australian partner and I

1409
01:06:25,093 --> 01:06:27,013
Speaker 3: are planning to move to New Zealand within the next

1410
01:06:27,053 --> 01:06:30,053
Speaker 3: year because we are sick of the so called lifestyle,

1411
01:06:30,133 --> 01:06:33,373
Speaker 3: overpopulation and simply miss being close to family in Sunny

1412
01:06:33,413 --> 01:06:35,373
Speaker 3: Hawk's Bay with a glass of wine in hand.

1413
01:06:35,533 --> 01:06:37,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot to be said to be

1414
01:06:37,133 --> 01:06:40,933
Speaker 2: close to your family, absolutely huge in the quality of life.

1415
01:06:41,093 --> 01:06:44,373
Speaker 2: I believe Melbourne has been compared to Johannesburg in the nineties.

1416
01:06:44,413 --> 01:06:46,493
Speaker 2: It sounds to me like in some places it's worse

1417
01:06:46,533 --> 01:06:49,133
Speaker 2: in ours than here. And if you compare apples for apples,

1418
01:06:49,133 --> 01:06:51,373
Speaker 2: it's probably no better, I would suggest. And over in

1419
01:06:51,413 --> 01:06:53,893
Speaker 2: ours there are things that everything wants to bite you,

1420
01:06:53,973 --> 01:06:56,333
Speaker 2: sting you or kill you. Yep, there is that, and

1421
01:06:56,373 --> 01:06:59,693
Speaker 2: that's just the humans before you get onto the wildlife.

1422
01:07:00,053 --> 01:07:01,253
Speaker 2: Now welcome to the show.

1423
01:07:02,333 --> 01:07:05,973
Speaker 23: Hey, thank you, thank you. I want to see you

1424
01:07:06,093 --> 01:07:12,493
Speaker 23: challenge this topic of moving to Australia. Myself, my wife

1425
01:07:12,573 --> 01:07:16,733
Speaker 23: and our two young kids. We love it here. You know,

1426
01:07:16,853 --> 01:07:20,493
Speaker 23: we think we we we're doing all right. We've got

1427
01:07:20,493 --> 01:07:25,413
Speaker 23: decent jobs, like earning decent money, I believe, and recently

1428
01:07:25,453 --> 01:07:28,253
Speaker 23: as well, we just bok a like our dream home.

1429
01:07:29,613 --> 01:07:32,773
Speaker 23: And as for us, we had to be realistic about

1430
01:07:32,893 --> 01:07:34,893
Speaker 23: you know, where we buy a house and stuff like that,

1431
01:07:35,733 --> 01:07:38,213
Speaker 23: like you mentioned earlier on like if you go to Australia,

1432
01:07:38,253 --> 01:07:40,573
Speaker 23: if you want to buy a decent house in the

1433
01:07:40,613 --> 01:07:43,253
Speaker 23: middle of Sydney, you'll be paying like paying three million

1434
01:07:43,253 --> 01:07:46,933
Speaker 23: dollars for that. And for us, it's the same thing

1435
01:07:47,213 --> 01:07:49,733
Speaker 23: sing in Auckland if you want a decent house and

1436
01:07:49,853 --> 01:07:53,733
Speaker 23: you'll be looking at like decent money in the middle

1437
01:07:53,773 --> 01:07:56,373
Speaker 23: of Auckland. But if you look like just you know,

1438
01:07:56,493 --> 01:07:59,053
Speaker 23: feder out, you'll buy like you'll be able to get

1439
01:07:59,173 --> 01:08:02,933
Speaker 23: a nice house or probably the same amount. You'll be

1440
01:08:02,933 --> 01:08:04,853
Speaker 23: able to buy a nice house in Australia if you

1441
01:08:04,853 --> 01:08:09,093
Speaker 23: look fed out of Sydney the middle from the middle

1442
01:08:09,093 --> 01:08:12,253
Speaker 23: of Sydney and stuff. So yeah, I don't think. I

1443
01:08:12,253 --> 01:08:14,973
Speaker 23: don't think I'm dumb for living in this country. Neither

1444
01:08:15,413 --> 01:08:18,133
Speaker 23: the other thing as well. I moved here, and I

1445
01:08:18,173 --> 01:08:22,013
Speaker 23: remember because I moved here from at a young age.

1446
01:08:22,013 --> 01:08:24,852
Speaker 23: From a young age, I lived here, and I remember,

1447
01:08:25,133 --> 01:08:29,652
Speaker 23: like my parents getting support from the government to you know,

1448
01:08:29,732 --> 01:08:33,412
Speaker 23: to support us growing up and gat stuff. So for me, like,

1449
01:08:33,492 --> 01:08:36,213
Speaker 23: I want to give back to the country that supported

1450
01:08:36,253 --> 01:08:40,452
Speaker 23: me at a young age, you know, continue living here,

1451
01:08:40,532 --> 01:08:44,052
Speaker 23: paying my tax to give back to the country. And

1452
01:08:44,253 --> 01:08:47,492
Speaker 23: I think it's a beautiful country. Nego And yeah, I

1453
01:08:47,492 --> 01:08:50,173
Speaker 23: don't assistantly, don't think I'm dumb living here.

1454
01:08:50,412 --> 01:08:53,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, neither you're here, what a good man. Good on.

1455
01:08:53,133 --> 01:08:54,652
Speaker 3: You need more people like you nearrow.

1456
01:08:54,933 --> 01:08:58,372
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would have thought like giving back. Yeah,

1457
01:08:58,372 --> 01:09:00,852
Speaker 2: maybe that's what maybe that could be in your mind

1458
01:09:00,933 --> 01:09:03,652
Speaker 2: somewhere in the mix of your life. Hey, guys, just

1459
01:09:03,692 --> 01:09:05,812
Speaker 2: came back from Perth this morning. It ain't the Lucky

1460
01:09:05,853 --> 01:09:09,093
Speaker 2: country anymore. The place is fear or gross. Cost of

1461
01:09:09,133 --> 01:09:12,612
Speaker 2: living way more expensive. New Zealand housing was cheap. We

1462
01:09:12,692 --> 01:09:15,173
Speaker 2: did see some cheap houses, but cost of living ridiculous.

1463
01:09:15,173 --> 01:09:17,652
Speaker 2: It ain't the Lucky country anymore. Fellas.

1464
01:09:17,732 --> 01:09:19,412
Speaker 3: Yeah, good on, you keep those teas coming through on

1465
01:09:19,532 --> 01:09:24,173
Speaker 3: nine to nine to two, Darryl, what are you reckon about?

1466
01:09:24,173 --> 01:09:26,253
Speaker 3: Good yed a mate? What are you reckon about? Good

1467
01:09:26,253 --> 01:09:27,372
Speaker 3: old New Zealands?

1468
01:09:28,093 --> 01:09:31,052
Speaker 24: Oh may this place rocks lock. I've traveled a lot

1469
01:09:31,173 --> 01:09:33,372
Speaker 24: and I think sometimes we keep looking at while we

1470
01:09:33,412 --> 01:09:35,652
Speaker 24: don't have. Let's look at what we do have, mate,

1471
01:09:35,893 --> 01:09:39,013
Speaker 24: When we can go to a place like Queenstown, Wanakatalpo,

1472
01:09:39,293 --> 01:09:44,973
Speaker 24: the mount, go bush, shoot deer, like there are so

1473
01:09:45,173 --> 01:09:48,492
Speaker 24: many cool things, go swimming, go surfing, and we don't

1474
01:09:48,532 --> 01:09:50,812
Speaker 24: get bitten by every bliming thing. And look at us

1475
01:09:50,893 --> 01:09:53,093
Speaker 24: either getting chomped every five minutes. It with seem I

1476
01:09:53,093 --> 01:09:56,053
Speaker 24: think they've they had four shark fatalities this year. We

1477
01:09:56,133 --> 01:09:58,692
Speaker 24: don't have beers, we don't have monsters in our jungles.

1478
01:09:58,692 --> 01:10:00,892
Speaker 24: Are ar's quite like a few lions and tigers because

1479
01:10:00,893 --> 01:10:01,532
Speaker 24: I like cats.

1480
01:10:01,532 --> 01:10:02,133
Speaker 3: That will be cool.

1481
01:10:02,492 --> 01:10:06,173
Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, but like we have so much. I think

1482
01:10:06,213 --> 01:10:09,213
Speaker 24: the problem of the world is people have forgotten how

1483
01:10:09,213 --> 01:10:12,812
Speaker 24: to get on with others who might look different, sound different,

1484
01:10:12,933 --> 01:10:16,612
Speaker 24: dress different, or be of a different race, creed or color.

1485
01:10:16,812 --> 01:10:17,452
Speaker 25: Who cares?

1486
01:10:17,612 --> 01:10:20,253
Speaker 24: We're all people, you know what? Like I think a

1487
01:10:20,333 --> 01:10:22,492
Speaker 24: really neat thing I say to people. If you drop

1488
01:10:22,532 --> 01:10:25,133
Speaker 24: down dead, because I work in help, I will jump

1489
01:10:25,213 --> 01:10:27,053
Speaker 24: your chest. I'm not going to pause and wonder if

1490
01:10:27,053 --> 01:10:28,772
Speaker 24: I'm the right this to do it. I'm just going

1491
01:10:28,853 --> 01:10:30,532
Speaker 24: to do it, you know, because at the end of

1492
01:10:30,572 --> 01:10:32,452
Speaker 24: the day, if I fall over, you need to help

1493
01:10:32,492 --> 01:10:34,532
Speaker 24: me out. Now that's a world problem, that's not a

1494
01:10:34,572 --> 01:10:37,973
Speaker 24: New Zealand problem. But mate, we have the most beautiful

1495
01:10:38,013 --> 01:10:41,812
Speaker 24: country in the world condensed into a small space. Why

1496
01:10:41,853 --> 01:10:44,812
Speaker 24: aren't we more thankful? We just need to celebrate.

1497
01:10:44,333 --> 01:10:48,012
Speaker 2: It absolutely down, Yeah, absolutely, well, seed.

1498
01:10:47,772 --> 01:10:50,532
Speaker 24: My friend, I don't want to I don't want to

1499
01:10:50,572 --> 01:10:53,093
Speaker 24: live anywhere else. Like I may go overseas you know

1500
01:10:53,692 --> 01:10:56,612
Speaker 24: and do another Are we sometime with my wife? Maybe

1501
01:10:56,652 --> 01:10:59,412
Speaker 24: we will one day, but not right now. In this place.

1502
01:11:00,372 --> 01:11:01,213
Speaker 13: It's great.

1503
01:11:01,572 --> 01:11:04,213
Speaker 24: Sometimes we do it tough because the economics do what

1504
01:11:04,293 --> 01:11:07,653
Speaker 24: economics does, and different governments do what they do. Absolutely,

1505
01:11:07,732 --> 01:11:10,612
Speaker 24: but hey, guys, it's not all bad. We've got the

1506
01:11:10,692 --> 01:11:12,532
Speaker 24: nicest food in the world. Why does the world want

1507
01:11:12,572 --> 01:11:13,652
Speaker 24: to keep buying our food?

1508
01:11:14,213 --> 01:11:14,412

1538
01:12:50,173 --> 01:12:50,852
Speaker 3: here for life?

1539
01:12:51,933 --> 01:12:55,133
Speaker 22: Oh, my daughter's here and she's happy as and I'm

1540
01:12:55,173 --> 01:12:58,732
Speaker 22: here over twenty five years of his So no, like

1541
01:12:59,253 --> 01:13:01,452
Speaker 22: my brother, I haven't keepn touch in Ireland, West of

1542
01:13:01,452 --> 01:13:03,133
Speaker 22: Ireland and it's a mess over there. So and he's

1543
01:13:03,133 --> 01:13:05,093
Speaker 22: just beending every years ago was going there and stay

1544
01:13:05,133 --> 01:13:08,492
Speaker 22: where you were. So before she writes down and use

1545
01:13:08,532 --> 01:13:10,932
Speaker 22: his hor pen like I said to her in front

1546
01:13:10,933 --> 01:13:12,532
Speaker 22: of her, So you were saying your parents and your

1547
01:13:12,532 --> 01:13:13,293
Speaker 22: grandparents are done.

1548
01:13:14,812 --> 01:13:16,732
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point, very good point.

1549
01:13:16,772 --> 01:13:18,772
Speaker 2: Well interesting, I think that. So she's saying it's a

1550
01:13:18,853 --> 01:13:20,812
Speaker 2: friend that said that, so it's not necessary here, although

1551
01:13:20,853 --> 01:13:24,652
Speaker 2: she's written the article, and the article does sort of conclude,

1552
01:13:24,652 --> 01:13:29,173
Speaker 2: I'd say that what is he No, Let's say, once

1553
01:13:29,253 --> 01:13:32,212
Speaker 2: leaving was seen as a useful adventure, but now it's

1554
01:13:32,253 --> 01:13:34,492
Speaker 2: often out of necessity. She wants that New Zealand's breaking

1555
01:13:34,492 --> 01:13:36,612
Speaker 2: its social promise of a fear shot and a decent life,

1556
01:13:36,652 --> 01:13:39,692
Speaker 2: with many staying behind only because they cannot afford to leave.

1557
01:13:40,173 --> 01:13:42,892
Speaker 2: Maybe some people are, but some people are here because

1558
01:13:42,933 --> 01:13:45,532
Speaker 2: they freaking love it and want to make it better

1559
01:13:45,772 --> 01:13:47,012
Speaker 2: exactly and want to stick it out.

1560
01:13:47,372 --> 01:13:47,612
Speaker 5: You know.

1561
01:13:48,213 --> 01:13:50,093
Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred and eighty, ten to eighty is being

1562
01:13:50,173 --> 01:13:52,492
Speaker 3: number to call. We've got to play some messages, but

1563
01:13:52,572 --> 01:13:55,133

01:14:01,732 --> 01:14:05,972
Speaker 2: We're lucky to be in this beautiful freaking country country.

1567
01:14:05,973 --> 01:14:07,732
Speaker 2: We're not sticking it out. There's always you can always

1568
01:14:07,772 --> 01:14:10,372
Speaker 2: imagine something better, but you've got to remember wherever you

1569
01:14:10,412 --> 01:14:13,093
Speaker 2: go there you are. As the saying is nice said,

1570

1571
01:14:14,732 --> 01:14:16,093
Speaker 2: up with these stories where it goes really well, but

1572
01:14:16,173 --> 01:14:18,412
Speaker 2: how many people go over there and realize it was

1573
01:14:18,452 --> 01:14:21,132
Speaker 2: actually them that there were a problems and you actually

1574
01:14:21,213 --> 01:14:23,133
Speaker 2: just have to sort your crap out wherever you.

1575
01:14:23,053 --> 01:14:26,773
Speaker 3: Are when they come crawling back here the issues.

1576
01:14:26,412 --> 01:14:28,892
Speaker 1: That affect you, and a bit of fun along the way.

1577
01:14:29,133 --> 01:14:33,092
Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons News TALKSB.

1578
01:14:34,572 --> 01:14:37,293

1579
01:14:37,333 --> 01:14:39,812
Speaker 3: you feel dumb for staying in New Zealand. It was

1580
01:14:39,853 --> 01:14:42,532
Speaker 3: a point articulated by Verity Johnson in an opinion piece,

1581
01:14:42,532 --> 01:14:45,492
Speaker 3: and it certainly rarked a lot of people up on

1582
01:14:45,692 --> 01:14:50,092
Speaker 3: text and on the phone lines. But a fantastic chat

1583
01:14:50,532 --> 01:14:52,213
Speaker 3: quick one here you get a guys, great show with

1584
01:14:52,372 --> 01:14:55,093
Speaker 3: in New Zealand. Travel all over the world every week.

1585
01:14:55,213 --> 01:14:59,532
Speaker 3: I can't get weight to get home to our beautiful nation. Yeah,

1586
01:14:59,692 --> 01:15:03,053
Speaker 3: nicely said, And wish we could read out all the

1587
01:15:03,093 --> 01:15:05,532
Speaker 3: tics that came through, but almost smoke the machine out,

1588
01:15:05,973 --> 01:15:07,732
Speaker 3: But thank you very much.

1589
01:15:08,093 --> 01:15:10,732
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean New Zealand isn't perfect, but no errors.

1590
01:15:11,333 --> 01:15:13,732
Speaker 2: But it's pretty good here, you've got to say. And

1591
01:15:13,853 --> 01:15:16,333
Speaker 2: I believe it's worth fighting for. If you can't make

1592
01:15:16,372 --> 01:15:19,772
Speaker 2: it work here, maybe that's a failure and not a virtue.

1593
01:15:20,133 --> 01:15:23,293
Speaker 2: I think too many people celebrate that New Zealand's bad

1594
01:15:23,333 --> 01:15:28,133
Speaker 2: and congratulate themselves for leaving. You know, this country is

1595
01:15:28,333 --> 01:15:30,532
Speaker 2: pretty good. Let's let's make it better, right, yep, nicely,

1596
01:15:30,652 --> 01:15:31,652
Speaker 2: Why don't we just make it better?

1597
01:15:31,772 --> 01:15:34,652
Speaker 3: Yeah, beautiful country we've got here, right coming up after

1606
01:16:02,572 --> 01:16:05,972
Speaker 3: So it is. It's a question that met you saw

1607
01:16:06,093 --> 01:16:08,293
Speaker 3: on social media and it's a hell of a quick

1608
01:16:09,093 --> 01:16:12,133
Speaker 3: What improved your quality of life so much you wish

1609
01:16:12,133 --> 01:16:14,532
Speaker 3: you'd done it sooner? Yeah?

1610
01:16:14,652 --> 01:16:18,492
Speaker 2: I mean it could be a behavior, it could be

1611
01:16:18,692 --> 01:16:22,972
Speaker 2: something that you bought. It could be having kids, yep,

1612
01:16:23,053 --> 01:16:26,213
Speaker 2: one of those things, right, And it's it's been blowing

1613
01:16:26,293 --> 01:16:28,132
Speaker 2: up on social media, this question, a lot of people

1614
01:16:28,293 --> 01:16:30,253
Speaker 2: saying it. You know what, I think the thing that

1615
01:16:30,333 --> 01:16:33,333
Speaker 2: changed my life that I wish i'd known earlier was

1616
01:16:33,412 --> 01:16:36,932
Speaker 2: just stress, stress breathing, just doing the big And we've

1617
01:16:36,933 --> 01:16:39,093
Speaker 2: talked about this on the show before, but boy, that

1618
01:16:39,253 --> 01:16:41,572
Speaker 2: changes my life and I use it so often.

1619
01:16:41,652 --> 01:16:43,093
Speaker 3: That is a big eage free to use.

1620
01:16:43,333 --> 01:16:46,532
Speaker 2: Just a big inhale through the nose and then a

1621
01:16:46,612 --> 01:16:49,652
Speaker 2: big exhale when you get stressed, do that three times

1622
01:16:50,213 --> 01:16:53,253
Speaker 2: and or annoyed or whatever, or you just want to

1623
01:16:53,253 --> 01:16:56,213
Speaker 2: reset your brain. So handy, it's like having a reset

1624
01:16:56,253 --> 01:16:59,333
Speaker 2: switch because often think that it's funny with the human

1625
01:16:59,732 --> 01:17:02,532
Speaker 2: condition is that we don't really have the controls. But

1626
01:17:02,612 --> 01:17:04,772
Speaker 2: we can't just go to sleep. We can't shut ourselves down.

1627
01:17:04,893 --> 01:17:06,732
Speaker 2: Be nice if we did, and we and we can't.

1628
01:17:08,093 --> 01:17:10,213
Speaker 2: You know, there's lots of things that we can't do.

1629
01:17:10,293 --> 01:17:15,093
Speaker 2: We can't like unleash certain things, you know, jettison things

1630
01:17:15,133 --> 01:17:16,852
Speaker 2: from our body when we don't want them anymore. There's

1631
01:17:16,893 --> 01:17:19,492
Speaker 2: lots of things that are unmachine like. Yes, and we

1632
01:17:19,532 --> 01:17:23,812
Speaker 2: don't get handed a you know, a instruction manual when

1633
01:17:23,812 --> 01:17:26,532
Speaker 2: we're born. But one thing you can reset it with

1634
01:17:26,853 --> 01:17:29,892
Speaker 2: is with you know, stress breathing. You just do it

1635
01:17:30,053 --> 01:17:32,892
Speaker 2: and it all it is is deep breathing, breathing in

1636
01:17:33,293 --> 01:17:35,932
Speaker 2: and breathing out three times. And no matter how stressed

1637
01:17:36,053 --> 01:17:39,012
Speaker 2: or how hard something is, or whether you can face

1638
01:17:39,053 --> 01:17:41,932
Speaker 2: something or you're nervous or anxious, you can just reset

1639
01:17:41,973 --> 01:17:43,093
Speaker 2: yourself and move forward.

1640
01:17:43,133 --> 01:17:45,732
Speaker 3: It's incredible game changer. I've said this before on the road.

1641
01:17:45,853 --> 01:17:48,333
Speaker 3: Help me helps me all the time. Yeah, if I

1642
01:17:48,372 --> 01:17:50,213
Speaker 3: get a little bit angry, little bit irate.

1643
01:17:51,133 --> 01:17:52,692
Speaker 2: Why did no one tell me that? At school? Someone's

1644
01:17:52,692 --> 01:17:55,933
Speaker 2: immediately said, keii fruit absolutely massive game changer. I mean,

1645
01:17:56,013 --> 01:17:57,692
Speaker 2: I've only recently found and I keep going on with

1646
01:17:57,772 --> 01:17:59,492
Speaker 2: key fruit. In fact, I was at the Warriors and

1647
01:17:59,532 --> 01:18:01,053
Speaker 2: I just happen to be eating the kiwi fruit when

1648
01:18:01,093 --> 01:18:03,893
Speaker 2: I was walking through the crowd, and someone that was

1649
01:18:04,253 --> 01:18:06,893
Speaker 2: enjoyed our show when you're true, it's true what you

1650
01:18:06,933 --> 01:18:09,253
Speaker 2: say about your eating key we fruit. True, folks, if

1651
01:18:09,293 --> 01:18:11,772
Speaker 2: only I'd known that kiwi fruit were not just a treat,

1652
01:18:11,893 --> 01:18:15,892
Speaker 2: but they were actually fantastically good for you, especially in

1653
01:18:15,973 --> 01:18:18,053
Speaker 2: terms of fiber. In the amount of fiber you get

1654
01:18:18,093 --> 01:18:20,133
Speaker 2: in a green kiwi fruit is better than anything else

1655
01:18:20,133 --> 01:18:22,253
Speaker 2: you're going to get, and it's delicious. So why did

1656
01:18:22,372 --> 01:18:24,572
Speaker 2: anyone tell me till three weeks ago that keewi fruit

1657
01:18:24,612 --> 01:18:27,572
Speaker 2: were the savior of good health? Because I'd love to

1658
01:18:27,612 --> 01:18:30,253
Speaker 2: slam kiwi fruit while life I thought it was a treat.

1659
01:18:30,333 --> 01:18:32,293
Speaker 3: I see how much you fizz up when anyone mentions

1660
01:18:32,372 --> 01:18:34,612
Speaker 3: kiwi fruit. I love it the one for me And

1661
01:18:34,652 --> 01:18:38,692
Speaker 3: this is actually very recently, so sleep in general, trying

1662
01:18:38,772 --> 01:18:42,253
Speaker 3: to make that more of instead of you know, this

1663
01:18:42,333 --> 01:18:44,772
Speaker 3: whole I don't need to sleep that much, and I

1664
01:18:44,772 --> 01:18:46,852
Speaker 3: can kick ass and get up to early making sure

1665
01:18:46,893 --> 01:18:48,492
Speaker 3: that I'm trying to get my eight hours. But that's

1666
01:18:48,492 --> 01:18:50,932
Speaker 3: not the thing because it's a bit boring. The genuine

1667
01:18:50,933 --> 01:18:53,253
Speaker 3: thing that's made such a difference in the past year

1668
01:18:53,812 --> 01:18:57,652
Speaker 3: independent blankets. So I've got my blanket and Mae's got

1669
01:18:57,692 --> 01:19:00,013
Speaker 3: her blankets. That has been a game changer because she

1670
01:19:00,053 --> 01:19:03,412
Speaker 3: always runs a little bit hotter than I do, right,

1671
01:19:03,492 --> 01:19:05,612
Speaker 3: so I need something a bit lighter. She's got the

1672
01:19:05,933 --> 01:19:06,692
Speaker 3: big bad Boy.

1673
01:19:07,133 --> 01:19:09,612
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Tyler's sleep. It's not only for sleeping. So

1674
01:19:09,933 --> 01:19:13,133
Speaker 2: isn't the sheared blanket? You know things can happen under

1675
01:19:13,133 --> 01:19:13,772
Speaker 2: the sheared blanket.

1676
01:19:13,853 --> 01:19:17,732
Speaker 3: Yeah, We've got three blankets so that. We got the

1677
01:19:17,732 --> 01:19:21,173
Speaker 3: white intac blanket as well, so that comes out on Saturdays.

1678
01:19:21,293 --> 01:19:24,253
Speaker 2: So Tyler, why are you putting? Why are you laying

1679
01:19:24,293 --> 01:19:28,173
Speaker 2: down the romantically? Yeah? No, yeah, I see, because I

1680
01:19:28,213 --> 01:19:31,732
Speaker 2: mean that's a sleeper is an incredibly important thing. And

1681
01:19:31,853 --> 01:19:34,572
Speaker 2: I talked about this on the show months ago. The

1682
01:19:34,612 --> 01:19:37,173
Speaker 2: idea of making yourself a sleep hero, where you do

1683
01:19:37,253 --> 01:19:39,892
Speaker 2: everything you can and you focus so much of your

1684
01:19:39,893 --> 01:19:41,572
Speaker 2: life to make sure you can have a good sleep.

1685
01:19:41,612 --> 01:19:44,532
Speaker 2: And if that involves dimming the lights in your room

01:22:45,093 --> 01:22:48,492
Speaker 25: longboarding with just push longboards and I was talking to

1756
01:22:48,612 --> 01:22:52,852
Speaker 25: I was collecting for Tenter Society, and I was talking

1757
01:22:52,893 --> 01:22:55,093
Speaker 25: to a funeral director who happened to pull up and

1758
01:22:55,133 --> 01:22:57,732
Speaker 25: make a donation, and he asked me if I'm still

1759
01:22:57,772 --> 01:23:00,732
Speaker 25: on the longboard and I said, yeah. My wife's been

1760
01:23:00,732 --> 01:23:02,732
Speaker 25: looking at these electric boards, but your two and a

1761
01:23:02,772 --> 01:23:04,972
Speaker 25: half grand And he says, mate, you're a long time

1762
01:23:05,053 --> 01:23:08,013
Speaker 25: did get one? And I thought, well, okay, no, so

1763
01:23:09,532 --> 01:23:10,293
Speaker 25: she got me one.

1764
01:23:10,732 --> 01:23:11,532
Speaker 2: Oh that's brilliant.

1765
01:23:11,572 --> 01:23:15,732
Speaker 3: Bob changed his life here here the electric skateboard. I mean,

1769
01:23:26,893 --> 01:23:30,133
Speaker 26: I'll try to keep it really short. Due to life circumstances,

1770
01:23:30,173 --> 01:23:32,333
Speaker 26: I was about fifty eight, you know, as poor as

1771
01:23:32,333 --> 01:23:36,053
Speaker 26: a church mouse, and I couldn't afford a holiday. So

1772
01:23:36,093 --> 01:23:37,452
Speaker 26: I threw a bed in the back of the van

1773
01:23:37,532 --> 01:23:40,812
Speaker 26: and went away for three days and had a fantastic time.

1774
01:23:40,853 --> 01:23:44,972
Speaker 26: It cost me seventy five dollars and I got back.

1775
01:23:45,013 --> 01:23:48,053
Speaker 26: I started a YouTube channel, and someone else wanted the band,

1776
01:23:48,093 --> 01:23:51,452
Speaker 26: so I built one for them, And this year we're

1905
01:29:36,253 --> 01:29:38,492
Speaker 27: were sitting at home one night in the neighbors. Their

1906
01:29:38,612 --> 01:29:42,612
Speaker 27: kids had found an abandoned puppy sitting in the middle

1907
01:29:42,652 --> 01:29:46,972
Speaker 27: of the road and they brought him over or brought

1908
01:29:47,013 --> 01:29:50,812
Speaker 27: her over to us, and it's kear of little face

1909
01:29:50,933 --> 01:29:53,053
Speaker 27: and there or whom written and everything couldn't say no,

1910
01:29:54,093 --> 01:29:58,133
Speaker 27: So we kept it. And it was a learning thing

1911
01:29:58,173 --> 01:30:00,293
Speaker 27: for both of us because as I am my wife,

1912
01:30:00,333 --> 01:30:02,772
Speaker 27: because as I say, neither of us had ever had

1913
01:30:02,973 --> 01:30:08,133
Speaker 27: a dog before. But through the training and the you know,

1914
01:30:09,412 --> 01:30:11,852
Speaker 27: fashioning it to be the sort of dog she was,

1915
01:30:12,253 --> 01:30:14,973
Speaker 27: she brought us so much fun, so much joy, so

1916
01:30:15,053 --> 01:30:19,333
Speaker 27: much happiness, and so much love. And then unfortunately she

1917
01:30:19,412 --> 01:30:23,333
Speaker 27: got the big c and passed away. And then no,

1918
01:30:23,412 --> 01:30:27,492
Speaker 27: it's all good, because you know, shit happens. But Masalie

1919
01:30:27,532 --> 01:30:29,972
Speaker 27: ends up getting a puppy. Now he's living next door

1920
01:30:30,013 --> 01:30:32,572
Speaker 27: to us, so we've cut a hole on the fence,

1921
01:30:32,612 --> 01:30:38,052
Speaker 27: and his dog equally shares his time equally roughly about

1922
01:30:38,333 --> 01:30:39,532
Speaker 27: a twenty at our place.

1923
01:30:40,893 --> 01:30:44,013

Speaker 3: And just getting out to go for a walk, right,

1942
01:31:25,412 --> 01:31:27,532
Speaker 3: the very fact that if you've got a dog, you've

1943
01:31:27,532 --> 01:31:30,412
Speaker 3: got to go out and walk them for their benefit.

1997
01:34:07,812 --> 01:34:11,412
Speaker 2: This business is drinking more water. Yeah, I mean I

1998
01:34:11,412 --> 01:34:13,572
Speaker 2: actually say water's gross. I refuse to drink.

1999
01:34:13,412 --> 01:34:15,892
Speaker 3: It, but you need it.

2000
01:34:16,133 --> 01:34:19,772
Speaker 2: But there's the saying you're not hungry, you're thirsty, And

2001
01:34:20,053 --> 01:34:21,532
Speaker 2: a lot of times when you just go to eat

2002
01:34:21,692 --> 01:34:24,293
Speaker 2: and you get fat because you're eating, when you're actually

2003
01:34:24,293 --> 01:34:24,812
Speaker 2: just thirsty.

2004
01:34:24,933 --> 01:34:25,333
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2005
01:34:25,372 --> 01:34:26,892
Speaker 2: So I think I've talked about in the show before.

2006
01:34:26,893 --> 01:34:29,532
Speaker 2: I've got those little water drops now that flavor the water.

2007
01:34:29,772 --> 01:34:32,213
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a little water drops.

2008
01:34:32,253 --> 01:34:33,892
Speaker 3: And what are you going for at the moment but

2009
01:34:33,973 --> 01:34:36,092
Speaker 3: a kiwi fruit flavor?

2010
01:34:36,253 --> 01:34:39,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't tried that. I'm running a watermelon one.

2011
01:34:39,652 --> 01:34:41,932
Speaker 2: I find the name of these drops you get. They're

2012
01:34:41,933 --> 01:34:43,973
Speaker 2: just a little thing that you get from the supermarket

2013
01:34:44,013 --> 01:34:46,253
Speaker 2: and you just go put a few drops in there

2014
01:34:46,253 --> 01:34:48,372
Speaker 2: and it flavors the water, so it's not bland water.

2015
01:34:48,492 --> 01:34:51,933
Speaker 2: Yeah ideal, But yeah, hydrating hugely.

2016
01:34:52,093 --> 01:34:55,652
Speaker 3: We need it, look hugely important to hydrate. This one's

2017
01:34:55,732 --> 01:34:59,173
Speaker 3: quite deep giddy guys. The biggest thing that helped me.

2018
01:34:59,293 --> 01:35:02,133
Speaker 3: I stopped caring that not everyone is going to like you.

2019
01:35:02,213 --> 01:35:05,372
Speaker 3: All you need to do is like yourself. Absolute game changer.

2020
01:35:05,812 --> 01:35:09,092
Speaker 3: Harder to do, easier to say, but it is massive.

2021
01:35:09,452 --> 01:35:12,572
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, this business is. Buying an infred sauna and

2022
01:35:12,692 --> 01:35:14,812
Speaker 2: using it daily has changed my life, better sleep and

2023
01:35:14,893 --> 01:35:17,293
Speaker 2: less stress. How much is an infrared sauna.

2024
01:35:17,333 --> 01:35:20,012
Speaker 3: It's a good question. I love the idea and yeah,

2025
01:35:20,053 --> 01:35:21,452
Speaker 3: because there's heaps.

2026
01:35:21,133 --> 01:35:24,173
Speaker 2: Of talk that you know, saunas are just so good

2027
01:35:24,173 --> 01:35:27,013
Speaker 2: for your health. Yeah, mental health and physical health is

2028
01:35:27,053 --> 01:35:29,932
Speaker 2: my But as an infrared sauna better than a you know,

2029
01:35:30,013 --> 01:35:32,333
Speaker 2: like pouring on the rock. So they just cheaper because

2030
01:35:32,372 --> 01:35:33,732
Speaker 2: you don't have to run a fire in the air

2031
01:35:33,812 --> 01:35:35,213
Speaker 2: or whatever. You don't have to run a heating thing.

2032
01:35:35,333 --> 01:35:37,612
Speaker 3: Yeah, good question with this one. So I'm looking at

2033
01:35:37,612 --> 01:35:42,732
Speaker 3: a revel Cora two person infrared sauna three thousand bucks

2034
01:35:43,933 --> 01:35:45,573
Speaker 3: bed down from six thousand.

2035
01:35:45,213 --> 01:35:46,692
Speaker 2: And that sits outside of your house? Or is that

2036
01:35:47,532 --> 01:35:50,612
Speaker 2: one outside? I think that'd be quite cool doing a

2037
01:35:50,612 --> 01:35:53,492
Speaker 2: briefing course and not taking all blacks results personally took

2038
01:35:53,492 --> 01:35:57,652
Speaker 2: a long time to recovery from Lord's twenty nineteen. Oh yeah,

2039
01:35:57,853 --> 01:36:01,852
Speaker 2: black camps results PTSD though. Yeah, there's no good way

2040
01:36:01,893 --> 01:36:04,532
Speaker 2: to look at Lord's twenty nineteen. There's no This is

2041
01:36:04,532 --> 01:36:05,333
Speaker 2: a rabbit hole there.

2042
01:36:05,452 --> 01:36:06,612
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great one.

2043
01:36:06,933 --> 01:36:07,053
Speaker 28: Oh.

2044
01:36:07,053 --> 01:36:09,732

01:36:41,772 --> 01:36:42,053
Speaker 2: the water.

2059
01:36:43,013 --> 01:36:46,092
Speaker 11: Uh, it wasn't too bad, but punishing the first couple

Speaker 11: I know something about sitting in the ocean.

2064
01:36:56,973 --> 01:36:57,652
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice.

2065
01:36:58,173 --> 01:37:00,372
Speaker 11: Not no cell phones, no bloody bags.

2066
01:37:01,213 --> 01:37:04,932
Speaker 2: It's it's spiritual, isn't it. Out there beyond the breakers,

2067
01:37:04,973 --> 01:37:05,692
Speaker 2: watching the world.

2068
01:37:05,933 --> 01:37:08,173
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm a terrible server, but that, I mean, that

2069
01:37:08,452 --> 01:37:09,892
Speaker 3: is the thing I love the most is just sitting

2070
01:37:09,893 --> 01:37:12,293
Speaker 3: past the break and just bobbing around. I never caught

2071
01:37:12,293 --> 01:37:14,653
Speaker 3: any waves, but that wasn't the point. It was almost meditative.

2072
01:37:15,492 --> 01:37:16,772
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, brilliant.

2073
01:37:17,133 --> 01:37:18,213

Speaker 3: It's good spot, real good spot. God on the long board?

2077
01:37:24,173 --> 01:37:24,972
Speaker 3: Are you on the long board?

2078
01:37:26,452 --> 01:37:26,652

Speaker 11: Switch it up between I've got a couple of boards,

2080
01:37:28,893 --> 01:37:31,572
Speaker 11: so I've spins the size. But yeah, most of the

2081
01:37:31,612 --> 01:37:33,372
Speaker 11: time on the long board out there, and it's there's

2082
01:37:33,372 --> 01:37:34,133
Speaker 11: normally quite a lot.

2083
01:37:34,093 --> 01:37:36,213
Speaker 5: Of people out there, so it's pretty good.

2084
01:37:36,732 --> 01:37:41,253
Speaker 2: How often are you getting out there, John, Oh?

2085
01:37:41,133 --> 01:37:44,052
Speaker 11: When when We've been pretty quiet the last few weeks,

2086
01:37:44,053 --> 01:37:45,692
Speaker 11: But when we first got back into it, we were

2087
01:37:45,692 --> 01:37:47,772
Speaker 11: doing probably getting out there three or four times a week.

2088
01:37:48,412 --> 01:37:51,812
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty good. Well, if you want to start surfing,

2089
01:37:52,013 --> 01:37:55,852
Speaker 2: surfing is there's still a lot of pushback from people

2090
01:37:55,893 --> 01:37:58,812
Speaker 2: getting annoyed at first time surfers and a bit of

2091
01:37:59,053 --> 01:38:00,812
Speaker 2: a god, you don't know what you're doing. You're getting

2092
01:38:00,853 --> 01:38:03,412
Speaker 2: in the way going on, not.

2093
01:38:03,492 --> 01:38:06,333
Speaker 11: By some places, but like you go to some happy

2094
01:38:06,372 --> 01:38:08,812
Speaker 11: airs and you can there's a ring lock of the

2095
01:38:08,933 --> 01:38:11,372
Speaker 11: can just pull up and pay fifty dollars for the board.

2096
01:38:11,452 --> 01:38:13,532
Speaker 11: They give you a wetsuit as well, and just get

2097
01:38:13,572 --> 01:38:13,932
Speaker 11: into it.

2098
01:38:14,053 --> 01:38:16,333
Speaker 3: Yeah. Love that. I mean, just go back to the

2099
01:38:16,372 --> 01:38:18,812
Speaker 3: long board. When I was surfing, it was out in

2100
01:38:18,853 --> 01:38:20,972
Speaker 3: Sumner and it always used to annoy me a little

2101
01:38:20,973 --> 01:38:22,652
Speaker 3: bit seeing the old boys on the long board and

2102
01:38:22,692 --> 01:38:24,973
Speaker 3: I couldn't catch a wave to save my life. But

2103
01:38:25,013 --> 01:38:27,173
Speaker 3: the old boys would just take it right from the

2104
01:38:27,213 --> 01:38:28,933
Speaker 3: back all the way in and they look like that,

2105
01:38:29,013 --> 01:38:30,692
Speaker 3: we're having so much fun. A couple of them had

2106
01:38:30,692 --> 01:38:32,772
Speaker 3: dogs on the long board as well, So I thought

2107
01:38:32,772 --> 01:38:34,532
Speaker 3: to myself, next time, I'm just getting a long board

2108
01:38:34,612 --> 01:38:36,572
Speaker 3: way easier, looks way more fun.

2109
01:38:39,133 --> 01:38:41,012
Speaker 2: What you saw more than one person with a dog

2110
01:38:41,053 --> 01:38:41,492
Speaker 2: on the front?

2124
01:39:10,053 --> 01:39:12,293
Speaker 2: can go out for ten minutes and come home and

2125
01:39:12,372 --> 01:39:15,733
Speaker 2: I think you've been gone for days. So much joy. Yeah, absolutely,

Speaker 2: check magnets with a sort of chieky eye emoji.

2129
01:39:27,772 --> 01:39:30,213
Speaker 3: Yeah, nicely, said Tom. People agree with it.

2130
01:39:30,333 --> 01:39:32,732
Speaker 2: Doing well out there with his dogs. Yoga. A lot

2131
01:39:32,772 --> 01:39:36,173
Speaker 2: of people texting through it and saying yoga. I did

01:39:36,253 --> 01:39:38,812
Speaker 2: yoga every day for a year. Yeah, just sort of

2133
01:39:38,853 --> 01:39:39,492
Speaker 2: as a challenge.

2134
01:39:39,572 --> 01:39:40,412
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did it go?

01:39:44,013 --> 01:39:46,372
Speaker 2: You got pretty limber? Yeah, I mean initially when you

2138
01:39:46,412 --> 01:39:48,772
Speaker 2: start yoga you think it's you kind of feel bit

2139
01:39:48,812 --> 01:39:51,372
Speaker 2: weird going to the class. You're a bit worried about flatulence.

2140
01:39:52,213 --> 01:39:53,852
Speaker 2: You know, you don't know if you're going to get bored,

2141
01:39:54,013 --> 01:39:56,732
Speaker 2: but eventually you start going and actually the hour goes

2142
01:39:56,772 --> 01:39:58,532
Speaker 2: really quick, and there's a bit at the end is

2143
01:39:58,532 --> 01:40:02,572
Speaker 2: called vasna where you get into corpse pose at the end,

2144
01:40:02,812 --> 01:40:05,452
Speaker 2: and because you've been stretching your body and it's been

2145
01:40:05,452 --> 01:40:08,933
Speaker 2: slightly painful, it just feels amazing. Five minutes to the

2146
01:40:09,013 --> 01:40:11,253
Speaker 2: end of just lying on your back, resting and meditating

2147
01:40:11,492 --> 01:40:13,732
Speaker 2: makes you feel bloody great about life and tell you.

2148
01:40:13,692 --> 01:40:15,372
Speaker 3: A good way to start a day. Oh, eight hundred

2149
01:40:15,492 --> 01:40:17,652
Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. So what

2150
01:40:17,732 --> 01:40:19,972
Speaker 3: improved your quality of life so much? You'd wish you'd

2151
01:40:20,013 --> 01:40:20,732
Speaker 3: done it sooner?

2152
01:40:22,333 --> 01:40:25,932
Speaker 1: Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred

Speaker 3: it sooner? So many ticks coming through on nine two

2158
01:40:37,013 --> 01:40:37,452
Speaker 3: ninety two.

2159
01:40:37,532 --> 01:40:39,572
Speaker 2: Humiliating that I did yogi every day for a year

2160
01:40:39,572 --> 01:40:41,133
Speaker 2: and I forgot that it's savasana.

2161
01:40:41,492 --> 01:40:44,412
Speaker 3: Savasana that's the corpse pos right, so that at.

2162
01:40:44,333 --> 01:40:46,852
Speaker 2: The end, at the end of your your yoga session,

2163
01:40:46,933 --> 01:40:50,532
Speaker 2: you lie down and you just go into this mediative state.

2164
01:40:50,612 --> 01:40:53,892
Speaker 2: That's so life affirming.

2165
01:40:53,973 --> 01:40:55,772
Speaker 3: I can see you almost going into that now. Yeah,

2166
01:40:55,812 --> 01:40:56,293
Speaker 3: sounds good.

2167
01:40:56,372 --> 01:40:56,933
Speaker 2: Savasana.

2168
01:40:57,093 --> 01:41:03,772
Speaker 3: Savasana is the text number. Oh that's a great one, guys.

2169
01:41:03,853 --> 01:41:08,173
Speaker 3: I bought a Rumba robot vacuum cleaner. Absolutely changed my life.

2170
01:41:08,372 --> 01:41:12,972
Speaker 3: Highly recommended. Oh yeah, right, the old rumber, the stress out.

2171
01:41:13,013 --> 01:41:14,412
Speaker 2: I know a few people that run a rumber. I

2172
01:41:14,452 --> 01:41:16,053
Speaker 2: was run at my mate's house and he ran a

2173
01:41:16,093 --> 01:41:17,973
Speaker 2: rumor and this might rumbor, and it might be this

2174
01:41:18,053 --> 01:41:21,172
Speaker 2: might not be used, but it rumored across the carpet

2175
01:41:21,173 --> 01:41:24,172
Speaker 2: and then it went into mopping phase in his kitchen.

2176
01:41:24,572 --> 01:41:27,732
Speaker 2: Oh and it started laying down some water and mopping

2177
01:41:27,812 --> 01:41:28,293
Speaker 2: up the kitchen.

2178
01:41:28,293 --> 01:41:30,333
Speaker 3: And I was like, I could do that. Yes, that

2179
01:41:30,492 --> 01:41:33,013
Speaker 3: is high tech ide. Hundred eighty ten eighty is the

2180
01:41:33,133 --> 01:41:33,732
Speaker 3: number to call.

2181
01:41:34,253 --> 01:41:37,093
Speaker 2: I purchased an electronic drum kit. Drumming is therapeutic for

2182
01:41:37,173 --> 01:41:39,372
Speaker 2: me and really helps with the stresses. And this was

2183
01:41:39,612 --> 01:41:42,093
Speaker 2: meant I can play at midnight if so need to.

2184
01:41:42,492 --> 01:41:45,412
Speaker 2: My acoustic kit just doesn't always do. The trick was

2185
01:41:45,452 --> 01:41:47,412
Speaker 2: game changing. For me. Yeah, I mean it's a lot

2186
01:41:47,452 --> 01:41:49,772
Speaker 2: to be smashing a full acoustic drum kit in the

2187
01:41:49,812 --> 01:41:51,892
Speaker 2: middle of the night. But if you want, you know,

2188
01:41:52,213 --> 01:41:53,812
Speaker 2: I've done a bit of drumming in my time. Yeah,

2189
01:41:53,893 --> 01:41:55,293
Speaker 2: it is definitely therapeutic.

2190
01:41:55,492 --> 01:41:58,692
Speaker 3: Yeah, Craig, Craig, how are you? Oh, I think we've

2191
01:41:58,732 --> 01:42:01,772
Speaker 3: just lost Craig. So we'll get Craig back. I one

2192
01:42:01,812 --> 01:42:04,213
Speaker 3: hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. And

2193
01:42:04,253 --> 01:42:08,092
Speaker 3: this one here from French I believe. Hey, you guys,

2194
01:42:08,093 --> 01:42:11,052
Speaker 3: best thing I've done is add sea salt and buy

2195
01:42:11,213 --> 01:42:14,852
Speaker 3: carb soda and my water and no deodorant is used

2196
01:42:14,853 --> 01:42:17,333
Speaker 3: by carb soda. Also have cay and pepper shots in

2197
01:42:17,333 --> 01:42:20,772
Speaker 3: the morning from Frenchy. So why does that mean you

2198
01:42:20,812 --> 01:42:23,333
Speaker 3: don't have to use the deodorant sea salt and buy

2199
01:42:23,372 --> 01:42:24,092
Speaker 3: carb soda.

2200
01:42:24,452 --> 01:42:26,812
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, look, I hear a number of these people

2201
01:42:26,893 --> 01:42:31,372
Speaker 2: say that they've got these solutions to a body odor

2202
01:42:31,452 --> 01:42:35,053
Speaker 2: that don't involve using dedorant. And look there's a couple

2203
01:42:35,093 --> 01:42:36,852
Speaker 2: of people I know, they're always talking about us and

2204
01:42:36,853 --> 01:42:39,092
Speaker 2: they stink. Yeah, you know, they go, I've got the solution.

2205
01:42:39,173 --> 01:42:41,333
Speaker 2: I don't do this. I don't wash myself because I've

2206
01:42:41,333 --> 01:42:44,892
Speaker 2: got natural. You know, the soap removes your ability to

2207
01:42:44,933 --> 01:42:47,572
Speaker 2: fight the netural odors. What it does is you get

2208
01:42:47,652 --> 01:42:49,093
Speaker 2: used to your own body odor and you think you

2209
01:42:49,093 --> 01:42:49,652
Speaker 2: don't have it.

2210
01:42:49,732 --> 01:42:53,772
Speaker 3: Exactly, That's exactly it. I think we've got Craig back now. Craig,

2211
01:42:54,213 --> 01:42:55,052
Speaker 3: how are you, mate?

2212
01:42:55,612 --> 01:42:55,812
Speaker 25: Yeah?

2213
01:42:55,893 --> 01:42:58,133
Speaker 3: Good a guys, And what was it for you?

2214
01:42:58,213 --> 01:42:58,412
Speaker 5: Man?

2215
01:42:59,572 --> 01:42:59,892
Speaker 28: Oh?

2216
01:43:00,053 --> 01:43:03,732
Speaker 29: Look, honestly, this is the greatest opportunity in my life.

2217
01:43:03,853 --> 01:43:08,252
Speaker 29: It's like, so, I'm sixty years old, I've just decided

2218
01:43:08,253 --> 01:43:10,852
Speaker 29: to sell a rental property. I'm tired of the abuse

2219
01:43:10,933 --> 01:43:14,532
Speaker 29: that we get as landlords. And it's like, hey, I'll

2220
01:43:14,572 --> 01:43:16,972
Speaker 29: sell my rental property and buy a bloody big truck

2221
01:43:17,013 --> 01:43:18,412
Speaker 29: and a caravan.

2222
01:43:20,213 --> 01:43:22,852
Speaker 3: Love it. We can hear the excitement in your voice, Craig. So,

2223
01:43:23,013 --> 01:43:24,412
Speaker 3: was there always something you wanted to do?

2224
01:43:25,532 --> 01:43:25,812
Speaker 2: Sorry?

2225
01:43:25,853 --> 01:43:27,852
Speaker 3: Mate? Was that always something that you wanted to do?

2226
01:43:27,893 --> 01:43:30,372
Speaker 3: You've been planning this for some time? Yeah?

2227
01:43:30,452 --> 01:43:33,452
Speaker 29: Absolutely, but I kind of had it like five years

2228
01:43:33,452 --> 01:43:36,532
Speaker 29: down the track, but were sitting a head and it's like,

2229
01:43:36,572 --> 01:43:39,612
Speaker 29: oh god, I just give up on us, Like, let's

2230
01:43:39,612 --> 01:43:42,412
Speaker 29: do it earlier, Like what you can still do it.

2231
01:43:43,652 --> 01:43:47,732
Speaker 2: It's something that sometimes happens when you finally give up

2232
01:43:47,732 --> 01:43:51,092
Speaker 2: on something that's stressful. You finally go Na, that's not working.

2233
01:43:51,333 --> 01:43:53,532
Speaker 2: I'm just going to get out of it, get out

2234
01:43:53,572 --> 01:43:53,932
Speaker 2: of the game.

2235
01:43:54,093 --> 01:43:54,293
Speaker 5: Yep.

2236
01:43:54,933 --> 01:43:58,532
Speaker 2: And you realize why was I pushing this uphill? Was

2237
01:43:58,572 --> 01:43:59,732
Speaker 2: never going to get what I wanted?

2238
01:44:01,253 --> 01:44:01,452
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2239
01:44:01,732 --> 01:44:03,732
Speaker 29: I think that's a big part of it. It's like

2240
01:44:04,612 --> 01:44:09,092
Speaker 29: you're always trying to do the right things, like your plan.

2241
01:44:09,293 --> 01:44:11,572
Speaker 29: You make these plans like a long term in advance,

2242
01:44:11,692 --> 01:44:14,732
Speaker 29: like for me for twenty years, I've been playing my retirement. Yeah,

2243
01:44:15,333 --> 01:44:20,812
Speaker 29: and it's actually hang on, let's through a five years earlier. Yeah,

2244
01:44:21,133 --> 01:44:24,772
Speaker 29: click that that property, because my god, landlords are just

2245
01:44:24,853 --> 01:44:27,293
Speaker 29: treated like crap today. So it's like, okay, all right,

2246
01:44:27,612 --> 01:44:30,133
Speaker 29: all right, yeah, yeah, well let it go, and I'm

2247
01:44:30,133 --> 01:44:33,253
Speaker 29: going to buy a big Detroit diesel and bag a

2248
01:44:33,333 --> 01:44:34,492
Speaker 29: rock with a huge caravan.

2249
01:44:35,013 --> 01:44:38,852
Speaker 3: Where's the first spot you're going, Craigh looks up on

2250
01:44:38,973 --> 01:44:43,932
Speaker 3: the mate. Obviously, nice beautiful telling there, Craig, You're not alone.

2251
01:44:43,933 --> 01:44:46,492
Speaker 2: There's so many people that been texting through and we

2252
01:44:46,612 --> 01:44:50,612
Speaker 2: talked to a gentleman before that's done the same, and

2253
01:44:50,612 --> 01:44:53,572
Speaker 2: and just getting out and getting out in the caravan

2254
01:44:54,213 --> 01:44:56,492
Speaker 2: or a mobile home or whatever seems to bring people

2255
01:44:56,532 --> 01:44:59,492
Speaker 2: so much joy you know, so good on you, Craig.

2256
01:44:59,612 --> 01:45:01,452
Speaker 3: Yeah, go well.

2257
01:45:01,213 --> 01:45:03,532
Speaker 29: Mate, you love it.

2258
01:45:03,572 --> 01:45:05,452
Speaker 3: Craig, thank you very much. I can see the appeal

2259
01:45:05,492 --> 01:45:08,213
Speaker 3: of that absolutely is not being tied down to any place.

2260
01:45:08,412 --> 01:45:10,253
Speaker 2: This sort of ties in with our topic of the

2261
01:45:10,333 --> 01:45:13,412
Speaker 2: last hour. This person said the thing in their life

2262
01:45:13,452 --> 01:45:15,213
Speaker 2: that made their life so much better and they wish

2263
01:45:15,253 --> 01:45:16,092
Speaker 2: they've done it earlier.

2264
01:45:16,532 --> 01:45:20,812
Speaker 3: Moving to New Zealand, nicely said, nicely said Andrea.

2265
01:45:20,973 --> 01:45:21,812
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

2266
01:45:22,652 --> 01:45:25,532
Speaker 17: Hey guys, thanks for having me. I was just listening

2267
01:45:25,572 --> 01:45:29,532
Speaker 17: over the last forty minutes since your segment starts and

2268
01:45:29,692 --> 01:45:33,652
Speaker 17: been thinking deeply. And my take on that one is

2269
01:45:34,492 --> 01:45:38,492
Speaker 17: flat shoes. So Sin's COVID women particularly used to have

2270
01:45:38,492 --> 01:45:41,172
Speaker 17: to wear all sorts of you know, menagerie of shoes

2271
01:45:41,652 --> 01:45:44,412
Speaker 17: and high heel shoes and all sorts of shoes, and

2272
01:45:44,572 --> 01:45:46,852
Speaker 17: kind of the sneakers came in during COVID. The white

2273
01:45:46,853 --> 01:45:48,412
Speaker 17: sneakers were okay, et cetera.

2274
01:45:48,412 --> 01:45:48,892
Speaker 28: At work.

2275
01:45:49,612 --> 01:45:53,093
Speaker 17: And also now there's great shops that I go to,

2276
01:45:53,213 --> 01:45:56,372
Speaker 17: which is bed shoes, so shout out to them.

2277
01:45:56,492 --> 01:45:59,133
Speaker 2: They are the bead shoes B.

2278
01:46:00,692 --> 01:46:01,333
Speaker 29: A R. E. D.

2279
01:46:01,572 --> 01:46:02,133
Speaker 16: Is really good.

2280
01:46:03,652 --> 01:46:03,852
Speaker 19: Yep.

2281
01:46:03,973 --> 01:46:08,293
Speaker 17: Yeah, and there's a number of quite amazing shoes around

2282
01:46:08,492 --> 01:46:10,852
Speaker 17: now that you don't have to wear really painful shoes

2283
01:46:10,933 --> 01:46:14,452
Speaker 17: like you used to for like thirty years, so as well.

2284
01:46:14,612 --> 01:46:17,133
Speaker 17: So yeah, that's my two cents worth.

2285
01:46:17,572 --> 01:46:19,933
Speaker 2: It must be full on. I often think about this

2286
01:46:20,093 --> 01:46:23,333
Speaker 2: wearing high heels to work every day, as some people

2287
01:46:23,452 --> 01:46:26,053
Speaker 2: do that that must that's a lot to deal with

2288
01:46:26,293 --> 01:46:28,093
Speaker 2: it in a day, as well as everything else you

2289
01:46:28,173 --> 01:46:28,412
Speaker 2: have to do.

2290
01:46:28,612 --> 01:46:28,772
Speaker 16: Just that.

2291
01:46:30,013 --> 01:46:32,893
Speaker 2: The intensity of that are you are you running the platforms?

2292
01:46:32,893 --> 01:46:33,133
Speaker 11: Are they?

2293
01:46:33,253 --> 01:46:33,372
Speaker 4: Are?

2294
01:46:33,412 --> 01:46:35,093
Speaker 2: They sneakers but with a bit of height on.

2295
01:46:35,133 --> 01:46:38,812
Speaker 17: Them possibly, I can't confirm, nor to di.

2296
01:46:40,372 --> 01:46:42,972
Speaker 3: Just having a look at the website, they're pretty styly flats,

2297
01:46:43,013 --> 01:46:44,692
Speaker 3: I've got to say, very cood.

2298
01:46:45,013 --> 01:46:49,452
Speaker 2: Yeah anyway, good on your Andrea. And also like if

2299
01:46:49,492 --> 01:46:51,173

2300
01:46:51,253 --> 01:46:54,053
Speaker 2: you can you can run away. I always think it's

2301
01:46:54,173 --> 01:46:56,452
Speaker 2: risky to go out in your eye heel jewice.

2302
01:46:56,492 --> 01:46:57,933
Speaker 3: It's a big fear for you, isn't it. That's not

2303
01:46:57,973 --> 01:46:59,812
Speaker 3: the first time you brought up the old ninja attack

2304
01:46:59,853 --> 01:47:01,532
Speaker 3: and you've got to be prepared for it anytime, Like

2305
01:47:01,572 --> 01:47:01,973
Speaker 3: if you have.

2306
01:47:02,053 --> 01:47:06,892

Speaker 3: life so much? You wish you'd done it sooner.

2310
01:47:17,772 --> 01:47:21,053
Speaker 28: I'm still a young kid. But when I was seventeen,

2311
01:47:21,133 --> 01:47:24,772
Speaker 28: I bought a Citron Bolinger, like a little white van yep,

2330
01:48:11,412 --> 01:48:12,892

2331
01:48:14,093 --> 01:48:15,692
Speaker 28: Yeah, exactly, that's not a bad idea.

Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, are you leaving little Are you little leaving

2333
01:48:18,893 --> 01:48:21,173

Speaker 28: I hope not a pretty good job of cleaning it up.

2337
01:48:30,612 --> 01:48:32,333
Speaker 3: Just buriant deep Monty. Now we'll find it.

2338
01:48:34,812 --> 01:48:36,532
Speaker 2: You take it, take a shovel berrier hole.

2339
01:48:36,692 --> 01:48:38,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Verian deep.

2340
01:48:39,133 --> 01:48:39,293
Speaker 16: Right.

2341
01:48:39,333 --> 01:48:43,093
Speaker 3: A few texts coming through here on nine two niney two.

2342
01:48:44,013 --> 01:48:47,012
Speaker 3: This one says, guys cutting out alcohol. I don't criticize

2343
01:48:47,013 --> 01:48:49,452
Speaker 3: anyone who drinks, but I was a problem drinker. Stopping

2344
01:48:49,492 --> 01:48:51,852
Speaker 3: that cycle improved everything about my life.

2345
01:48:52,093 --> 01:48:54,732
Speaker 2: A bit of trivia for Matt about savasanah. The word

2346
01:48:54,812 --> 01:48:57,892
Speaker 2: can be drived into two parts, savah and asana, which

2347
01:48:58,013 --> 01:49:00,772
Speaker 2: literally means a corpse position. The body is relaxed to

2348
01:49:00,853 --> 01:49:03,012
Speaker 2: that level. Yeah, it does feel like that corpse pose

2349
01:49:03,772 --> 01:49:06,293
Speaker 2: after yoga. I really recommend yoga. I mean, I know

2350
01:49:06,412 --> 01:49:09,372
Speaker 2: it's challenging thought for a lot of people. You feel

2351
01:49:09,412 --> 01:49:11,013
Speaker 2: like you might get bored, It might be hard, it

2352
01:49:11,093 --> 01:49:14,093
Speaker 2: might be humiliating getting into the downward dog in front

2353
01:49:14,093 --> 01:49:16,652
Speaker 2: of people, et cetera. Yeah, but if you can get

2354
01:49:16,692 --> 01:49:18,892
Speaker 2: yourself along to a yoga crass, that just makes every

2355
01:49:18,933 --> 01:49:21,732
Speaker 2: part of your life better. I mean, I've said it before.

2356
01:49:21,772 --> 01:49:23,412
Speaker 2: I felt like I was made out of week books,

2357
01:49:23,572 --> 01:49:25,412
Speaker 2: and when by the time I've done a year of yoga,

2358
01:49:25,452 --> 01:49:26,972
Speaker 2: I felt like I was made out of eels. If

2359
01:49:27,013 --> 01:49:28,013
Speaker 2: that makes sense. No, I love it.

2360
01:49:28,213 --> 01:49:30,013
Speaker 3: Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the

2361
01:49:30,133 --> 01:49:32,532
Speaker 3: number to call. What improved your quality your life so much? Yeah,

2362
01:49:32,572 --> 01:49:35,333
Speaker 3: wish you'd done it sooner? It is ten minutes to four.

2363
01:49:36,612 --> 01:49:39,973
Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and

2364
01:49:40,333 --> 01:49:44,133
Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons used

2365
01:49:44,173 --> 01:49:44,732
Speaker 1: talks it be.

2366
01:49:46,093 --> 01:49:48,452
Speaker 3: News talks the b It is seven to four. So

2367
01:49:48,612 --> 01:49:50,612
Speaker 3: what improved your quality of your life so much? You'd

2368
01:49:50,652 --> 01:49:51,612
Speaker 3: wish you'd done it sooner?

2369
01:49:51,853 --> 01:49:53,452
Speaker 2: This is a really good one. Not checking the time

2370
01:49:53,572 --> 01:49:55,612
Speaker 2: during the night. That is a really good lesson to

2371
01:49:55,692 --> 01:49:57,053
Speaker 2: learn if you wake up in the middle of the night,

2372
01:49:57,173 --> 01:49:59,132
Speaker 2: because you know, we know that sleep is so important

2373
01:49:59,213 --> 01:50:01,532
Speaker 2: for it for our health and in a number of ways,

2374
01:50:01,612 --> 01:50:03,772
Speaker 2: mental health, physical health, and it's the most important thing,

2375
01:50:03,933 --> 01:50:05,973
Speaker 2: one of the most important things anyway. But if you

2376
01:50:06,053 --> 01:50:08,093
Speaker 2: wake up and you're looking at going back to sleep,

2377
01:50:08,893 --> 01:50:11,973
Speaker 2: grabbing your phone and blasting itself in the face with

2378
01:50:12,053 --> 01:50:14,892
Speaker 2: a bright light to check the time. Yeah, just convince

2379
01:50:14,933 --> 01:50:16,812
Speaker 2: yourself that you want to go back to sleep. You know,

2380
01:50:16,812 --> 01:50:18,532
Speaker 2: if you're going to alarm see it, that'll wake you up.

2381
01:50:18,612 --> 01:50:21,932
Speaker 2: But just don't check the time, because then you start

2382
01:50:22,013 --> 01:50:24,213
Speaker 2: doing the calculations of how many more hours I've got,

2383
01:50:24,253 --> 01:50:26,213
Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff. It gets complicated. That's such

2384
01:50:26,213 --> 01:50:26,732
Speaker 2: a good point.

2385
01:50:26,893 --> 01:50:28,412
Speaker 3: Hard to do, though, but you have to keep the

2386
01:50:28,452 --> 01:50:30,253
Speaker 3: phone out of the bedroom. I've found that I don't

2387
01:50:30,253 --> 01:50:31,933
Speaker 3: actually have the phone next to me anymore.

2388
01:50:31,732 --> 01:50:32,213
Speaker 2: Don't you know.

2389
01:50:32,652 --> 01:50:35,333
Speaker 3: Really this is a great one, throwing out all my

2390
01:50:35,532 --> 01:50:38,412
Speaker 3: socks and buying a single type. No more looking for

2391
01:50:38,532 --> 01:50:39,532
Speaker 3: peers that go missing.

2392
01:50:39,933 --> 01:50:42,293
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's good. I just pulled a massively long

2393
01:50:42,372 --> 01:50:44,213
Speaker 2: here out of my nose. It's been annoying me, and

2394
01:50:44,293 --> 01:50:47,412
Speaker 2: I wish I'd found it earlier. Well, it amazes me

2395
01:50:47,772 --> 01:50:51,532
Speaker 2: how here can just grow Suddenly. One day, your nose

2396
01:50:51,572 --> 01:50:54,293
Speaker 2: it's just fine, and then suddenly it's there's one here

2397
01:50:55,372 --> 01:50:57,172
Speaker 2: curling around your nose like a waus.

2398
01:50:57,293 --> 01:51:00,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, just the rogue outline. It just just wants to

2399
01:51:00,093 --> 01:51:01,133
Speaker 3: take on the rest of the hears.

2400
01:51:01,213 --> 01:51:03,053
Speaker 2: It does feel a lot better when you get rid

2401
01:51:03,053 --> 01:51:05,173
Speaker 2: of it. It certainly does, or right just looking at

2402
01:51:05,213 --> 01:51:08,612
Speaker 2: through these things. Oh, here we go, gazer, We welcome

2406
01:51:18,893 --> 01:51:23,973
Speaker 9: Okay, I'm seventy six and I'm still surfing longboard as

2407
01:51:24,013 --> 01:51:27,492
Speaker 9: you were talking about. I've been doing yoga for about

2408
01:51:28,173 --> 01:51:33,852
Speaker 9: sixty odd years at least, and breathing as well. So

2409
01:51:35,652 --> 01:51:38,652
Speaker 9: and also getting back into the cycle as you've described,

2410
01:51:38,692 --> 01:51:40,972
Speaker 9: getting up and getting that early morning sun and it's

2411
01:51:41,053 --> 01:51:43,572
Speaker 9: made a huge difference in my life.

2412
01:51:43,652 --> 01:51:44,492
Speaker 16: That's kept me going.

2413
01:51:44,612 --> 01:51:46,732
Speaker 9: I can still get in the water and bounce around.

2414
01:51:46,893 --> 01:51:50,612
Speaker 9: So I just thought I would throw that into the

2415
01:51:50,692 --> 01:51:53,572
Speaker 9: mix and say, yeah, all of those things are just X.

2416
