35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: story this morning. And look, sometimes in radio we talk

36
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: a bit of rubbish, but sometimes we can get together

37
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: and help out. And this story that you've come across,

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,040

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 5: Everyone's kind of calm. I mean, it's been hard to

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 5: kind of communicate because we're convoying up to Nelson at

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: the moment, so from christ Church, right, But she has

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 5: been in a lot of tears, and she did say

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 5: that she cried herself to sleep, so.

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: That we've got to fix this. Can you quickly just

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: explain to us what actually happened to the dress.

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, so she was steaming it last night and unfortunately

69
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: it just completely wrecked. The fabric and the switching came

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 5: out and it's completely through.

71
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: Oh oh my gosh.

72
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: And yeah, so it's she can't wear it. It's not salvageable.

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: So yes, that's pretty much what happened.

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So look, this is the beauty of being on radio.

75
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: We have the potential to really tap into the power

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of the people.

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: There are so many people.

78
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: We have wedding dresses right that have only been worn once.

79
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: So surely surely we can find a dress that is

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: suitable for Lauren.

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: Jess. Do you want to explain the style that Lauren had?

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, so she had It was kind of off the

83
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 5: shoulder with rooshing down the front and then it had

84
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 5: like a slip and kind of like a medium size tree.

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: What sizing are we looking for, Jess twelve, size.

86

Speaker 4: Twelve, Kate size twelve.

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: And as she opened, do you think she would be

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: open to kind of diverting from that style at all

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: or do you think it's it's got to be that totally.

90
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: I think she'd be open to it at this point.

91
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 5: I mean she's a bit she's obviously, I mean the

92

Speaker 1: a woman who's getting married and Nelson tomorrow, traveling up

191
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: from christ Church. Her name is Lauren, but unfortunately, literally

192
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: last night she was doing a little cheeky steam on

193
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: the dress and what happened.

194
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 4: It's completely wrong, completely unwearable.

195
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: What a night to mere situation to find yourself in

196
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: the day before your wedding exactly.

197
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: So we thought, look, we've both been married, we know

198
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: hous stress villainas we want to help out. We've actually

199
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: got Lauren's sister Jess on the phone with us. Hi, Jess,

200

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: dress was sized twill it had been worn before. That

208
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: sounded like a pretty solid option. Kelly from christ Church,

209
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: a traditional beautiful dreas never actually ever got worn size fourteen,

210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: so she could potentially still fit into it, and Lisa

211
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: from Nelson nothing like the style of the dress, but

212
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: she could drop it over tonight for your sister to

213
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 1: try it on. It's not quite like the style of

214
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: the dress either, but hey, it's worth a try, right, Yes, totally.

215
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So what do we do from here? Jess? Do

244
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: drama with her wedding dress got seriously damaged by the

246
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: She doesn't have the funds to get a new one.

247
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: As you know how expensive weddings are, particularly at the moment.

248
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: So we put it to the power of the people.

249

Speaker 4: Thank you so much. We're going to whittle it down,

254
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 4: I reckon.

255
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: By the end of our show this afternoon, we're going

256
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,239
Speaker 1: to have the perfect dress for Lauren.

257
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: Good people are amazing, amazing. In the meantime, it's time

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: to do this.

259
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 6: Battle of the heads.

260
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: All right, one artist, two songs, going ahead to head,

261
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: and this week we're heading back to the nineties, and

262
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: the chosen artist is Aqua. I remember having the video

263
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: of VHS. I can't remember actually like what the video entailed,

264
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: but I remember just thinking they were the bees Bees.

265
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: That was so cool, that was so okay. So we've

266
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: come to the table with what we believe is the

267
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: best song. And yes, they're so so much more than

268
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: just a one wonder. I will come to the table

269
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: with what I believe is their best song first, and

270
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: then Matty, it is over to you.

271
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: So My Song was.

272
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: Released as the band's seventh single overall the sixth from

273
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: their debut album, Aquarium. It was also included on the

274
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: soundtrack for the nineteen ninety eight film Sliding Doors starring

275
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Gwynneth Poultrow. The track possesses less of a bubble pop

276
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: sound than that was other Lisa's It's slow paced and

277
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: shows the full range of lead singer Lena's vocals. It

278
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: was successful on the charts on several countries, becoming Aqua's

279
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: third consecutive number on the UK Singles Chart.

280
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: My song is Turned Back Time.

281
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 6: Bayard.

282
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: That's good, such a forgotten banger.

283
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: Also, how good a sliding Doors?

284
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: I go.

285
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: That's one of those movies. I just remember a few scenes.

286
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: I need to watch it again.

287
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: It's on TVNZ plus. You should go watch it. You go.

288
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: Thank you for selling my song.

289
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: Great song, fantastic song. But when I think Equa, I

290
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: do think bubblegum pop and there's nothing wrong with a

291
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 3: little bit of fun, a little bit of pizzazz. So

292
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to take you back to January two thousand,

293
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: the first song released from their second studio album, Aquarius.

294
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: This was an absolute commercial success in Denmark, where Aqua

295
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: is from. The song debuted at number one, selling enough

296
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: copies to earn a quadruple platinum sales certification within forty

297
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: eight hours of its release. This song cannot do anything

298
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: but make you want to dance. My pick for Battle

299
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: of the Hits Aqua is Cartoon Heroes.

300
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 4: Another song I.

301
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Forgot it there is I totally forgot. I thought you

302
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: were going to do Candyman. Cany I do remember Candyman?

303
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 8: Yes?

304
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: Okay, So Maddie's Pack is cartoon heroes. Mine is turn

305
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: Back Time, the artist is Aqua, and now you get

306
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: to vote. Oh wait, one hundred the hats you want

307
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: Maddy or Pj's song. Best of three, we will play

308
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: out the winner in its.

309
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 6: Entire the podcast Battle of the Heads.

310
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: I love that we've gone pretty niche with the Battle

311
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: of the Hets this week, opting for Danish dance pop

312
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: group at Qua. Yes, there are so much more than

313
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: Barbie Girl. Meddi came to the table with cartoon heroes

314
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: and I tried to slow it down with the absolute

315
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:44,800

00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 3: organize this midwinter Christmas, I started up a group chat

Speaker 3: today on Facebook Messenger with a bunch of people.

366
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,440

00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: I'm in a lot, and I find them stressful at

368
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 3: the best of times. I'll tell you who finds them

369
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,120

00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: And I can tell Ryan like gets pretty over the chat,

373
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,760

375
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: not a fan of it.

376
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: BJ's like a labrador, like very very eager and enthusiastic,

377

Speaker 6: The podcast.

395
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: There are some chaos, hectic energy going on in the

396
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: studio right now. Many Honestly, I swear in another life

397
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: you would have been an amazing director manager boss.

398
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 4: You're very good at orchestrating a stressful situation.

399
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: Do you know what I think about I think about

400
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 3: I think about the character and the devil is Prata

401
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: where she has to just do all of the things

402
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: on the streets.

403
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: Character Yeah, okay, so do you want to run down

404
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: exactly what was going on this afternoon?

405
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: So we got to I saw a story online today

406
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 3: about a bride, Lauren. She's from christ Shoots, but she's

407
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: getting married to Nelson tomorrow and today a steamer has

408
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: ruined her wedding dress the day before her wedding. She

409
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: can't wear it like she it's absolutely ruined.

410
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: She can't And as we all know, weddings are extremely expensive,

411
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: so to fork out extra money, like right before the

412
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: day of your wedding to get the dress you want,

413
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty pretty challenging. So there's been a lot

414
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: of tears, and we thought, look, why don't we try

415
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: and use the power of the people, because there are

416
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: so many people around the country who have used the

417
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: wedding dress once and it's literally sitting dormant and people's wardrobes. So,

418
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: by golly, have the people come to the table. We

419
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: put up a post on our Instagram and Facebook. We

420
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: have been inundated with dresses from all around the country,

421
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: but I think we may have whittled it down to

422
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: one dress.

423
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: We've found a dress we think it's the one. The

424
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 3: issue is. The issue is the dressing. The dresses in

425
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: christ Church. Lauren is in Nelson getting married tomorrow, and

426
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 3: what I didn't realize when I first took on this

427
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 3: job is that it's it is a morning wedding. So

428
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 3: we somehow in the next like hour, have to get

429
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: this dress from this house in christ Church, where the

430
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: where the former briders to the airport. So the Air

431
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 3: New Zealand are very good friends at Air New Zealand

432
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: who have come to the party, will fly it to

433
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 3: Nelson so that Lauren can have it ready for her

434
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: morning wedding tomorrow.

435
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: Where there is a will, there is a way, and

436
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to get this sorted by the

437
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: end of our show, So make sure you stay tuned

438
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: to find out what happens with the dress.

439
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: In the podcast, we're in a mad scramble page because

440
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: we're trying to get this wedding dress to Nelson for

441
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 3: Lauren's wedding tomorrow. If you've missed it, Lauren's dress is ruined.

442
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: She's getting married tomorrow and we've been trying to find

443
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 3: her a new dress.

444
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: This is chaos, but I think there's a light at

445
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: the end of the tunnel, I reckon. By the end

446
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: of ours show, we're going to have a dressmatch made

447
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: in Heaven, so we'll go there after five thirty.

448
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, stay tuned for that. But before then, I was

449
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: trawling through social media as I do every day, and

450
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 3: the doom scroll yep, and I came across a video

451
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 3: of a dad in the US. The dad had gone

452
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: away for a few nights and had left his teenage

453
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: sons in charge of the house while he was away

454
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: and sing. Then circumstances changed and the dad arrived home

455
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: a day early, and the next thing he knows, he

456
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 3: is rocking up to his house and is a guest

457
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 3: at a very very raucous high school party.

458
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: Amazing, red cups and all it would be loose.

459
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: It was overflowing with people, and this dad is filming

460
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: a video from the party, going these kids don't even

461
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: know that I have stumbled upon a party at my

462
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: own house.

463
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 4: Oh my god. Amazing.

464
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: So he's walking through like your average party go all,

465
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: absolutely be a little bit older than everyone.

466
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: Random being.

467
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 3: He's got like a full beard, so he really does

468
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: stick out like a sore thumb at a high school party.

469
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: But no one had noticed him.

470
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 6: Yet it is I was.

471
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: I was never ballsy enough to do that. Like I

472
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 4: think at most I might have like had four pack

473
00:24:59,160 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: of archers.

474
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,239
Speaker 1: If my friend came home and maybe they wed two

475
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: friends and went secretly.

476
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 4: I would never have had a party. I was just

477
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 4: I was not that brave.

478
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: So I did. But the thing is, Mum and Dad

479
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: knew about it. It wasn't I wasn't trying to hide

480
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: it from them. They were out and I was heading overseas.

481
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: I was moving overseas. I went on a student exchange

482
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: for my last year of high school. So I had

483
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: my leaving party at home and mom and dad said,

484
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: we're going out for the night, go for gold, have

485
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: some friends over, have fun. And I invited a bunch

486
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: of friends over. And it was meant to be just

487
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: a fun, little casual party, a few drinks, you know,

488
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 3: nothing crazy, And then it was one of the exactly

489
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: a little couple of Bacardi breezes. And then it became

490
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: one of those parties that the texts went out to

491
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: a few people, and then the texts went out to

492
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: a few more people, and then a few more people,

493
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: and before I knew that the house was overrun with people.

494
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: Here's some of the things that happened. Mum's leather couch

495
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: got ripped. Oh no, someone smoked pot in my eight

496
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 3: year old sister's bed, ripped the banister off the wall,

497
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: ripped it clean off the waters.

498
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 4: Is this in Queenstown?

499
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: In Queenstown? And then the craziest part was Mum had

500
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 3: this bowl of fake fruit on the on the dining

501
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: room table and the next day, when we were cleaning up,

502
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: Mom just picked up this like fake apple from her

503
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: centerpiece and went, what is this massive teeth marks the

504
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 3: fake apple.

505
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 4: Tracy McClean. It will teach you for having those.

506
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: Hideous fake pieces of fruit. That's a lesson and exactly.

507
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 3: But I know I'm not alone, and I know that

508
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: these teenage boys in America where the dad crashed the

509
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 3: party are not alone. This must have happened time and

510
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: time again.

511
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a walk down relaying then what

512
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: happened when you had a high school party.

513
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 4: Was it good? Was it bad? Any thing in between.

514
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: We'll take your calls.

515
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: Oh eight hundred the hats and we've got some prizes

516
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: to give away, thanks to give us Warehouse.

517
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 4: We're talking high school parties. Next on the Head.

518
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 6: Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.

519
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: But before then, we're talking high school parties.

520
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 4: Ee, take me back.

521
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: I went to them, but I was ever brave enough

522
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: to actually host one at my house because I was

523
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: the ultimate goodie girl.

524
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, and it did not go well. I

525
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: spent the next couple of days repainting the wall where

526
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 3: the banister was ripped off. And did you, continuing to

527
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 3: very sheepishly apologize to mom and dad.

528
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 4: Did you ever get grounded? Was that a thing in

529
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 4: your house?

530
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: I was, because this was this was a genuine This

531
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: wasn't really my not your fault.

532
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, just escalated.

533
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: Anyway, we wanted to talk high school parties.

534
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: Was it good?

535
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 11: Was it bad?

536
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: At last got Auckland Roxy joins us Roxy. What happened

537
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: at the high scho party?

538
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: So I was about.

539
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 10: Firsteen, maybe sixteen. I think it was like my first

540
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 10: high school party that I went to, and I was,

541
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 10: you know, drinking some raspberry vodka cruises take me back,

542
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 10: And I was picked up by my dad obviously later

543
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 10: on in the night, and I clearly had a little

544
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 10: bit too much to drink, and I threw up all

545
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 10: out the window, all the way down the side of

546
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 10: the car. My dad like, are you okay?

547
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: And I was like yeah.

548
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 10: They ordered some pizzas in the head and Chobies.

549
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: On pizza, Dodgy pizza.

550
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 10: And then the next day when I woke up, he

551
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 10: was cleaning the car and he goes, I don't know

552
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 10: what kind of pizza you had last night.

553
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: But that did not go like, there is no way

554
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: that your dad was buying theizz the try though, I

555
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: love the Try. Let's go to Wellington. Cody is joining us.

556
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: What happened at the high school party?

557
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: So back when I was in college, we used to

558
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: go out to a campground. It's about a fifteen minute

559
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: drive from school. So now second and final years of school,

560
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: we'd go out there and have a bit of a

561
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: party in the campground. One night we ended up getting of.

562
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 2: Someone had a van in a full DJ set, smoke machines,

563
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: the four works out in the middle of a paddock,

564
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: just just because washed off.

565
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: That's like the ultimate bushed off.

566
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yes, that was that was pretty good. The

567
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: whole campground ended up getting involved. They all joined in.

568
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: The only downside was later on that night someone someone's

569
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: guard got stolen, but it was recovered the next day.

570
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: It was lucky. But yeah, there you go.

571
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: Wellington a bit more upmarket than the house parties I

572
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: used to go to the I've just thrown at a garage.

573
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: If you were lucky, if you.

574
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: Were lucky, Hey, Coddy, thanks so much for you call.

575
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: We've got a little gift from chemist Warehouse. Coming away.

576
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 6: Median PJ to podcast.

577
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: That she has been a frantic show behind the scenes

578
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: today as we try and bring joy to Lauren who

579
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: is getting married tomorrow. She unfortunately decided it was a

580
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: good idea to steam her dress and the days leading

581
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: up as you do, but unfortunately has caused irreparable, irreversible damage. Yes,

582
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: and so we have put it to the power of

583
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: the people this afternoon, haven't we met it?

584
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: We absolutely have, because we know how amazing you all are.

585
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: You're incredible and when people are in need, you come

586
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: to their aid. And so we said, does anyone, does

587
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: anyone have a dress that is sitting in the wardrobe

588
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: that they could lend Lauren for her big day? You know,

589
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: because you get married and you wear the dress and

590
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: then you often put it in the closet or you peck.

591
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: It gets dust on it. You never use it again,

592
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 4: use it again.

593
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: And boy did you come out in your drove. So

594
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: many people got in touch with us, sent us photos

595
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: of their wedding dress, told us where they were, the

596
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 3: size it was, the measurements.

597
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

598
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: There have been so many amazing dresses, but we have

599
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: settled on one and that one dress as in christ Church.

600
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 4: So cue this the intense music.

601
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to our mule, Connor, who does the day

602

00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 2: I would hope that they would do the exact same thing.

622
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 11: Picked up the dress, got into my two thousand and

00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 11: to have to pay fifty bucks for a second there,

631
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 11: but they did it to the free beat.

632
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so the dress is ready to go on the flight.

633
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: I think it's eight o'clock tonight that it heads off Nelson.

634
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 11: Yes, they went sure there was a six thirty or

635
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 11: the later one because it's who apparently und of stuff

636
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 11: happening in Nelson with Kappa Harka thought it's super conduiting.

637
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it just gets crazy crazier. But Connor,

Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't even do anything for you

642
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,040

Speaker 3: help us get it to Nelson.

649
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: So coming up, Niece on the show. There's only one

650
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: more thing today. We've spoken to Assessed, but we have

651
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: not spoken to the woman who suth Laurence's getting married

652
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow at his time to deliver the good news that

653
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: the winning dress is on the way.

654
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 6: Pay Jay the podcast.

655
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 3: That boy, has it been an afternoon for us here

656
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: on the Hits, but more importantly for one very very

657
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: stressed out bride in Nelson. Lauren went to steam her

658
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: wedding dress last night. She is getting married tomorrow and

659
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 3: the dress is now very sadly ruined. So we thought,

660
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: can we find Lauren a replacement dress? Do any of

661
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: our listeners out there have a dress they can lend her?

662
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 3: And we are very very pleased to say we have

663
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 3: found the dress.

664
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: And we welcome to the show for the first time

665
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: this afternoon. We've spoken about her a lot, but now

666
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: we get to meet the woman herself.

667
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 7: Lauren, Hello, Hi, how are you going?

668
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: We're so okay?

669
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 12: How are you? Oh my gosh, Wow, it's been a

670
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 12: very stressful day.

671
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet Oh my gosh.

672
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: So can we just tell you how many dresses we

673
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: have been Inundata whether since we talked about this after

674
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: three o'clock this afternoon.

675
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: People were just so touched by your story.

676
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: I think everyone knows the stress that you endure leading

677
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: up to the big day, and they've just wanted to

678
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: help out. And we have been sending pictures back and forth.

679
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: We've had to get the right size, we've had to

680
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: get the right style, but Lauren, we've landed on one

681
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: and that was Emma's dress from christ You've seen it?

682
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,120

Speaker 6: I love it?

684
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 5: I'm so happy and I just feel so overwhelmed, just

685
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,759

Speaker 3: Beautiful thing to do for someone, right, she said, No,

688
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 3: she said to her to Connor, who works with us

689
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 3: on the hits, who when it picked up the dress,

690
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 3: she said, if the shoe was on the other foot,

691
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure Lauren would have done this for me as.

692
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 9: Well absolutely yeah, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 6: Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast.

712
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: That it is time for another round of Melford Money Matters.

713
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: We are interviewing Murray Harris from Milford to talk investments

714
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: to key we savor to debunk you know, money misconceptions

715
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: and look he's here to answer our questions. But remember

716
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: this is only info to help you understand more and

717
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: is not official financial advice. All right, So we're going

718
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: to crack into a few questions. Let's just rip the

719
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: band aid off. How much should we be contributing to

720
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: our we save it? And what sort of risk do

721
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: you reckon we should be taking.

722
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 12: Yeah, let's look at that first one. That's a really

723
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 12: good question. I mean, you know, the minimum employee contribution

724
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 12: is three percent of your pay, then your boss should

725
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 12: be matching that with three percent on top. But you

726
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 12: can actually contribute four, six, eight or ten percent of

727
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 12: your income to your Kiwi saver. But the trouble we've

728
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 12: got is only two thirds or two thirds of KEIP

729
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 12: seven members are only doing the minimum three percent.

730
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 3: So if you had the.

731
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 12: Boss's contribution, because that's taxed, is only five percent of

732
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 12: your income that you're saving And most countries do ten.

733
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 12: Australia does eleven. Wow, and they're going to twelve.

734
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 3: Is five enough? You know, if people are only putting

735
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 3: in five now when they get to retirement age, are

736
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 3: they going to go? Man, I wish we'd put more

737
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: in back in the day.

738
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 12: I've never met anybody who said I wish I'd saved less.

739
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good way putting it.

740
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: I think, you know, at the moment times are really tied, right,

741
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: and so I can imagine people probably are pulling back

742
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: with this at the moment because they feel, you know,

743
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: right now, I've just got to survive. But I suppose

744
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: it's so important equally to think of your future self

745
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: as well.

746
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 12: Well, you're paying yourself, right, you are paying your future self.

747
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 12: So yeah, look, we get it. Times can be tough,

748
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 12: and you can put your savings on hold and your

749
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 12: saving suspensions for your KIPI saver, and a lot have

750
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 12: done that. But if you do that, make sure you

751
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 12: put it back on as quickly as you can, because

752
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 12: you know, it really makes a big difference if you

753
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 12: stop for too long.

754
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: Talking about big differences. If people literally change the percentage

755
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: from say three to four, what could that extra one

756
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: percent contribution mean?

757
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, look the power of compounding interest, right, So

758
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 12: it's only a small adjustment, but it adds up over

759
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 12: a long period of time, so literally it could be

760
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 12: tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars more at

761
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 12: age sixty five. Wow, Now, I mean there's a lot

762
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 12: of numbers behind this, And we've got a calculator on

763
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 12: our website. You go and have a play round with that.

764
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 12: And you can put in your different contribution rates and

765
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 12: your income and things. Literally, somebody who's thirty five now

766
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 12: with a balance of thirty thousand could have nearly one

767
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 12: hundred thousand more if they were doing six percent versus

768
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 12: three and a balanced fund. So you know this is

769
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,760
Speaker 12: real money. It makes a big difference.

770
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 8: Now.

771
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: Risk is obviously a massive fact to consider. What do

772
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: you need to consider when it comes to risk, Well,

773
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: you need.

774
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 12: To be comfortable with the risk that you're taking, and

775
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 12: we've all got a different risk appetites and so if

776
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 12: you've got a long term goal, you can afford to

777
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 12: take a bit more risk. Provider, you can still sleep

778
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 12: at night right because markets go up and down, so

779
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 12: you don't want to be worrying about it, but you

780
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 12: can afford to take more it because you've got more

781
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 12: time on your side to smooth out the ups and

782
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 12: downs and markets. If you've got a short term goal,

783
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 12: let's see, you're going to use your KIP saving to

784
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 12: buy a house in three years time, then you probably

785
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 12: don't want to take too much risk, so you want
