But really really good to 35 00:01:44,373 --> 00:01:45,893 Speaker 3: have your a company as always? 36 00:01:45,893 --> 00:01:48,853 Speaker 2: Hey you, Matt, Yeah, Hello Tyler, Hello you great New Zealand. 37 00:01:48,893 --> 00:01:51,853 Speaker 2: Where you're tuning in from. I always listened to this 38 00:01:51,853 --> 00:01:54,693 Speaker 2: podcast recently by this guy called Chris Williamson, his podcast 39 00:01:54,773 --> 00:01:55,413 Speaker 2: called Modern Wisdom. 40 00:01:55,413 --> 00:01:58,453 Speaker 3: You've listened to that, Tyler, No, I haven't, but I'm 41 00:01:58,453 --> 00:02:00,973 Speaker 3: aware of it, The Modern Wisdom podcast. It's really good. 42 00:02:01,013 --> 00:02:04,013 Speaker 2: But anyway, on it, he was talking about how time 43 00:02:04,053 --> 00:02:06,653 Speaker 2: seems to fly by, and it was talking about how 44 00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,213 Speaker 2: our brain doesn't register thing that we do over and 45 00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:11,413 Speaker 2: over again. That's why if you drive the same route 46 00:02:11,413 --> 00:02:13,773 Speaker 2: to work every day. You won't remember it, but you 47 00:02:13,853 --> 00:02:16,213 Speaker 2: definitely remember your first time you ever drove a car 48 00:02:16,493 --> 00:02:18,453 Speaker 2: because it was completely new, so your brain decided to 49 00:02:18,453 --> 00:02:20,373 Speaker 2: register it. Your brain doesn't want to waste energy on 50 00:02:21,173 --> 00:02:23,693 Speaker 2: registering things that it does a lot makes sense. It 51 00:02:23,773 --> 00:02:25,213 Speaker 2: just files away and you've got no memories of it. 52 00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:27,653 Speaker 2: And so the best way to fight that feeling that 53 00:02:27,693 --> 00:02:30,013 Speaker 2: life was going past really quickly is to do a 54 00:02:30,133 --> 00:02:32,893 Speaker 2: lot of different things, a lot of different things. That's 55 00:02:32,893 --> 00:02:34,693 Speaker 2: why you remember a lot of details from a holiday 56 00:02:34,693 --> 00:02:37,132 Speaker 2: when you're in a different place compared to a. 57 00:02:37,053 --> 00:02:38,013 Speaker 3: Similar week at home. 58 00:02:38,093 --> 00:02:38,252 Speaker 4: Right. 59 00:02:38,373 --> 00:02:41,213 Speaker 2: Yes, So over the weekend, I decided that I was 60 00:02:41,252 --> 00:02:43,133 Speaker 2: going to try and generally across my life to do 61 00:02:43,213 --> 00:02:45,613 Speaker 2: a lot of different things all the time, to try 62 00:02:45,613 --> 00:02:51,173 Speaker 2: and extend my weekends. And I succeeded thoroughly. Over the weekend, 63 00:02:51,252 --> 00:02:54,852 Speaker 2: I'll say Friday night, went to a friend's birthday party. 64 00:02:54,853 --> 00:02:58,733 Speaker 3: That was a fantastic time nice. On Saturday, we went 65 00:02:58,773 --> 00:03:03,292 Speaker 3: to another friend's birthday party, and then Tracy. 66 00:03:02,972 --> 00:03:05,213 Speaker 2: And I we looked up the scariest movies ever made 67 00:03:05,733 --> 00:03:08,333 Speaker 2: watched two of them. In the Autopsy of Jane Doe 68 00:03:08,453 --> 00:03:12,213 Speaker 2: that was incredibly scary. And I also ran a half 69 00:03:12,333 --> 00:03:18,053 Speaker 2: marathon and went to Monster Trucks and went out to 70 00:03:18,613 --> 00:03:22,893 Speaker 2: a nice cafe for as well, a special cafe we'd 71 00:03:22,893 --> 00:03:25,493 Speaker 2: never been to before. And tell you what it works, 72 00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:28,213 Speaker 2: doing a bunch of stuff on your weekend. It feels 73 00:03:28,252 --> 00:03:32,053 Speaker 2: like that weekend was a week as opposed to what 74 00:03:32,093 --> 00:03:32,453 Speaker 2: did you do? 75 00:03:33,373 --> 00:03:34,613 Speaker 3: I knew it was going to come back to it 76 00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:38,013 Speaker 3: and your bang on. You got absolutely steamed. Yeah, got 77 00:03:38,093 --> 00:03:41,533 Speaker 3: way too steamed. On Saturday night, we ended up going 78 00:03:41,573 --> 00:03:44,172 Speaker 3: into k Road and too well. It was a bar 79 00:03:44,253 --> 00:03:47,213 Speaker 3: that I'd never been to before, but my kneebriation levels 80 00:03:47,253 --> 00:03:50,733 Speaker 3: meant I remember bugger all about it and then completely 81 00:03:50,773 --> 00:03:53,933 Speaker 3: wasted my Sunday. Just felt like an absolute dirt bag 82 00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,573 Speaker 3: all day yesterday. So you're right, I look at what 83 00:03:56,613 --> 00:03:59,093 Speaker 3: you did, mate, and that makes me exhausted. But you're here, 84 00:03:59,293 --> 00:04:02,413 Speaker 3: you're fizzing, you're hyped up, and I'm sitting here just 85 00:04:02,493 --> 00:04:04,093 Speaker 3: with deep regret about my life. 86 00:04:04,133 --> 00:04:06,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're weakening in like that because you just you 87 00:04:06,693 --> 00:04:08,693 Speaker 2: did very few things, and the things you did, you 88 00:04:08,733 --> 00:04:09,733 Speaker 2: did them. 89 00:04:09,813 --> 00:04:14,413 Speaker 3: Almost unconsciously drunk. Yeah but anyway, anyway, anyway, let's make 90 00:04:14,453 --> 00:04:17,533 Speaker 3: some memories now over the next three hours showing beautifully 91 00:04:17,573 --> 00:04:19,853 Speaker 3: said after three o'clock this was going to be a 92 00:04:19,853 --> 00:04:23,573 Speaker 3: fun chat. So the Selver Ferns coaching saga, it continues 93 00:04:23,653 --> 00:04:27,573 Speaker 3: to be pretty dramatic. So negotiations between Dame Nolene Total 94 00:04:27,973 --> 00:04:31,213 Speaker 3: in Netball New Zealand stretched in to get this ten 95 00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:35,573 Speaker 3: hours for a meeting, Yet no consensus was actually reached. 96 00:04:35,613 --> 00:04:38,133 Speaker 3: So nothing appears to have happened in that ten hour 97 00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:41,333 Speaker 3: marathon of a meeting. But it raises the bigger question 98 00:04:41,413 --> 00:04:45,853 Speaker 3: about meetings and our general life and in our organizations 99 00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:48,253 Speaker 3: that we work for. Yeah, I mean, speaking of your 100 00:04:48,293 --> 00:04:50,933 Speaker 3: life racing past you with your hardly noticing it, how 101 00:04:51,053 --> 00:04:55,413 Speaker 3: much of your life is wasted in meetings? Yeah? And 102 00:04:55,973 --> 00:04:58,333 Speaker 3: you know, if you accept that you're wasting your life meetings, 103 00:04:58,333 --> 00:04:59,933 Speaker 3: how do you shorten? Shorten them? 104 00:04:59,973 --> 00:05:02,173 Speaker 2: How do you shorten It's quite hard sentence to say, 105 00:05:02,293 --> 00:05:05,893 Speaker 2: how do you shorten them? Yes, as there someone you 106 00:05:05,973 --> 00:05:07,813 Speaker 2: know and look, we know these people that go from 107 00:05:07,853 --> 00:05:10,613 Speaker 2: meeting to meeting all day and they go, oh my god, 108 00:05:10,653 --> 00:05:12,773 Speaker 2: I've got so much meetings. Look at my calendar, so 109 00:05:12,893 --> 00:05:15,453 Speaker 2: many meetings. Are they actually getting anything done? Because don't 110 00:05:15,493 --> 00:05:18,213 Speaker 2: meetings create things to do? So if you're aways in meetings, 111 00:05:18,253 --> 00:05:20,893 Speaker 2: you never get anything done. Obviously, a ten hour meeting 112 00:05:21,013 --> 00:05:22,773 Speaker 2: is silly. That's a ridiculous thing. 113 00:05:22,813 --> 00:05:23,053 Speaker 4: That is. 114 00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:25,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a crazy long time for meeting. Ridiculous. 115 00:05:25,773 --> 00:05:28,933 Speaker 2: But I'd argue anything more than ten minutes should be 116 00:05:28,973 --> 00:05:31,533 Speaker 2: reserved for only the hugest issues, right. 117 00:05:31,493 --> 00:05:34,133 Speaker 3: I agree. I mean you're going to have specific KPIs 118 00:05:34,213 --> 00:05:36,013 Speaker 3: that you're going to come out of that meeting and say, 119 00:05:36,053 --> 00:05:38,733 Speaker 3: here's my checklist and here's what I'm going to bring 120 00:05:38,773 --> 00:05:41,053 Speaker 3: back if we have to have another meeting. Otherwise that's 121 00:05:41,093 --> 00:05:43,573 Speaker 3: just an email, right, Yeah, you know exactly are you 122 00:05:43,653 --> 00:05:45,813 Speaker 3: on this? You're across this? Yep? All good? 123 00:05:45,973 --> 00:05:48,933 Speaker 2: And Tyler and I were talking about this before with 124 00:05:49,173 --> 00:05:51,333 Speaker 2: those people that go nothing to report here. You've been 125 00:05:51,333 --> 00:05:52,893 Speaker 2: sitting in a meeting for an hour and you've got 126 00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:54,933 Speaker 2: nothing to report here, leave the meeting. 127 00:05:54,933 --> 00:05:57,533 Speaker 3: Well, I'd o waste the time, all right? Meetings after 128 00:05:57,613 --> 00:06:00,413 Speaker 3: three after two o'clock, A shocking new report reveals that 129 00:06:00,453 --> 00:06:02,893 Speaker 3: New Zealanders are losing limbs at record rate. So it 130 00:06:02,933 --> 00:06:06,373 Speaker 3: was one one and eighty one cases last year. That's 131 00:06:06,373 --> 00:06:09,173 Speaker 3: a fifty five percent increase from a deco a decade ago, 132 00:06:09,493 --> 00:06:13,093 Speaker 3: and most of these people sadly don't see it coming. Diabetes, 133 00:06:13,133 --> 00:06:15,933 Speaker 3: of course, are behind a lot of these cases. And 134 00:06:15,973 --> 00:06:18,093 Speaker 3: the human toll, as you can mention if you lose 135 00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:19,773 Speaker 3: a limb are immense. 136 00:06:20,293 --> 00:06:25,653 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, all those lives and eighty one limbs removed, 137 00:06:25,773 --> 00:06:27,973 Speaker 2: but each person, each one of those limbs is attached 138 00:06:27,973 --> 00:06:30,693 Speaker 2: to a person whose lives changed dramatically. So I'd love 139 00:06:30,773 --> 00:06:33,373 Speaker 2: to talk to people e one hundred and eighty ten 140 00:06:33,453 --> 00:06:35,173 Speaker 2: eighty have you have you lost a limb? You know 141 00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:38,133 Speaker 2: someone who's lost a limb? What's it like dealing with that? 142 00:06:39,053 --> 00:06:41,293 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, I know the text a bit better, 143 00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:42,293 Speaker 2: but it's not easy. 144 00:06:42,533 --> 00:06:45,053 Speaker 3: Yep, that is after two o'clock. But right now, let's 145 00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:49,213 Speaker 3: have a chat about protesting outside somebody's home. So on Friday, 146 00:06:49,333 --> 00:06:53,253 Speaker 3: around thirty protesters gathered outside Foreign Minister Winston Peters aucklandom though. 147 00:06:53,253 --> 00:06:57,053 Speaker 3: We're banging drums, waving flags and demanding action in this 148 00:06:57,133 --> 00:06:59,293 Speaker 3: case over New Zealander is involved in the gaza a 149 00:06:59,413 --> 00:07:02,533 Speaker 3: flow tiller. But it was noisy, emotional, highly visible. The 150 00:07:02,573 --> 00:07:05,613 Speaker 3: police were called, noise control showed up and the names 151 00:07:05,653 --> 00:07:07,613 Speaker 3: of the activists were written in chalk on the footpath 152 00:07:07,653 --> 00:07:10,053 Speaker 3: as you can imagine, it was a protest. Mister Peters 153 00:07:10,093 --> 00:07:13,453 Speaker 3: didn't take lightly. He called it disgraceful and said politicians, 154 00:07:13,493 --> 00:07:17,693 Speaker 3: families and private homes should be off limits. It's you know, 155 00:07:17,733 --> 00:07:18,573 Speaker 3: it's pretty. 156 00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:21,213 Speaker 2: Crazy to go around to a man's family home and 157 00:07:21,333 --> 00:07:25,213 Speaker 2: hassle him. You know, where neighbors are on a suburban 158 00:07:25,573 --> 00:07:28,973 Speaker 2: straight I mean, there's plenty of public places to protest, 159 00:07:29,493 --> 00:07:33,493 Speaker 2: isn't there. I mean, if the cause is important enough, 160 00:07:33,533 --> 00:07:36,053 Speaker 2: should should you be able to protest wherever you want? 161 00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:38,293 Speaker 2: Or or do you kind of lose the moral high 162 00:07:38,293 --> 00:07:42,933 Speaker 2: ground when you start intimidating people in their in their homes. 163 00:07:43,653 --> 00:07:46,093 Speaker 2: I mean, don't we all shouldn't we all be able 164 00:07:46,093 --> 00:07:48,253 Speaker 2: to try and expect some kind of peace and privacy 165 00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:51,333 Speaker 2: in our own homes, even if even if you strongly 166 00:07:51,373 --> 00:07:53,853 Speaker 2: disagree with with their politics. I mean, the right to 167 00:07:53,893 --> 00:07:57,413 Speaker 2: protest is incredibly important, but does it have to be 168 00:07:57,893 --> 00:08:01,573 Speaker 2: right in front of someone's home? And we just is 169 00:08:01,653 --> 00:08:03,453 Speaker 2: no one going to go into politics if your home 170 00:08:03,493 --> 00:08:05,293 Speaker 2: isn't safe? Is just no one going to go into 171 00:08:05,333 --> 00:08:06,973 Speaker 2: politics because they never get a break from it. 172 00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:09,533 Speaker 3: I mean, it is the idea in this case, and 173 00:08:09,533 --> 00:08:13,293 Speaker 3: as Winston Peters said, in a statement via X that 174 00:08:13,413 --> 00:08:16,093 Speaker 3: all key we should have a place that they can 175 00:08:16,173 --> 00:08:19,053 Speaker 3: feel safe and that is their home. And I can 176 00:08:19,093 --> 00:08:21,613 Speaker 3: absolutely see where he's coming from there. That is, there 177 00:08:21,653 --> 00:08:24,413 Speaker 3: has to be some limits to where people are going 178 00:08:24,453 --> 00:08:27,053 Speaker 3: to disrupt and raise noise, and I think in this 179 00:08:27,173 --> 00:08:30,533 Speaker 3: case intimidate. So when you're trying to intimidate not just 180 00:08:30,573 --> 00:08:33,493 Speaker 3: politicians but other members of the public, to me, that 181 00:08:33,612 --> 00:08:35,813 Speaker 3: is where you start to lose the moral high ground. 182 00:08:35,852 --> 00:08:37,533 Speaker 3: But it's an interesting one.

It doesn't matter anyway, socky Jerry. 211 00:09:55,892 --> 00:10:00,053 Speaker 5: So on the politicians, I've always thought that a person's 212 00:10:00,053 --> 00:10:04,573 Speaker 5: home is their castle, and that would include politicians. So 213 00:10:05,732 --> 00:10:09,412 Speaker 5: you know when you sort of get around people's homes 214 00:10:09,413 --> 00:10:13,213 Speaker 5: that you're sort of getting into dangerous territory. And I 215 00:10:13,252 --> 00:10:16,372 Speaker 5: can tell you that about forty years ago, when I 216 00:10:16,413 --> 00:10:20,172 Speaker 5: was in the overseas, there was a big political controversy 217 00:10:20,612 --> 00:10:23,653 Speaker 5: and one of the politicians was going on and on 218 00:10:23,773 --> 00:10:25,573 Speaker 5: at quite length. I think it was went on for 219 00:10:25,693 --> 00:10:29,813 Speaker 5: two or three months about some controversial issue, and somebody 220 00:10:29,892 --> 00:10:32,852 Speaker 5: from one of the farms dumped one half ton of 221 00:10:33,492 --> 00:10:36,453 Speaker 5: you know what extrement on the on the front lawn 222 00:10:36,492 --> 00:10:37,213 Speaker 5: of a politician. 223 00:10:37,653 --> 00:10:42,613 Speaker 3: Wow, that's not cool, no night, Yeah, And what was 224 00:10:42,653 --> 00:10:45,453 Speaker 3: the outcome from that? Jerry? That's quite full noise to 225 00:10:46,173 --> 00:10:50,053 Speaker 3: I mean, that's effectively vandalism, isn't it. What was the 226 00:10:50,093 --> 00:10:51,493 Speaker 3: outcome of that particular action? 227 00:10:52,132 --> 00:10:52,533 Speaker 6: You know what? 228 00:10:52,573 --> 00:10:55,453 Speaker 5: I honestly can't remember it, but I do remember it happening. 229 00:10:55,973 --> 00:10:58,773 Speaker 5: And the person that did it, he was just extremely 230 00:10:58,852 --> 00:11:03,213 Speaker 5: upset and it was some sensitive political issue. I just 231 00:11:03,252 --> 00:11:04,132 Speaker 5: can't remember what it was. 232 00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:07,813 Speaker 2: Is there any issue that would hit you, Jerry that 233 00:11:07,933 --> 00:11:11,852 Speaker 2: was so so you know, it made you so angry 234 00:11:12,053 --> 00:11:14,493 Speaker 2: that that you would decide in your heart that the 235 00:11:14,492 --> 00:11:17,573 Speaker 2: protest has to be taken right to the politician, the 236 00:11:17,653 --> 00:11:20,493 Speaker 2: source where the politician is as opposed to public space. 237 00:11:21,132 --> 00:11:23,693 Speaker 2: Is there anything that that would get you up to 238 00:11:23,732 --> 00:11:24,173 Speaker 2: that level? 239 00:11:24,213 --> 00:11:24,492 Speaker 4: Jerry? 240 00:11:25,892 --> 00:11:29,412 Speaker 5: No, No, no, actually not. I don't like eco terriers, 241 00:11:29,533 --> 00:11:32,492 Speaker 5: terrorists and all that sort of thing. And I do 242 00:11:32,533 --> 00:11:36,213 Speaker 5: think there has to be a legitimate way of protesting. If, 243 00:11:36,413 --> 00:11:38,292 Speaker 5: for example, if I didn't like you guys, I should 244 00:11:38,293 --> 00:11:40,852 Speaker 5: at least send you a courteous letter saying I don't 245 00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:43,533 Speaker 5: like you because of such and such a reason, and 246 00:11:43,612 --> 00:11:47,373 Speaker 5: would you change change something?

There are laws, and 254 00:12:04,852 --> 00:12:07,012 Speaker 2: so the law that they're looking at bringing in the 255 00:12:07,012 --> 00:12:10,813 Speaker 2: bill that they're would make specific to protests that were 256 00:12:10,852 --> 00:12:12,652 Speaker 2: targeted at individuals in their homes. 257 00:12:12,653 --> 00:12:14,012 Speaker 3: So it specific. 258 00:12:14,453 --> 00:12:19,093 Speaker 2: But but you know Whatams if you sent her an email, 259 00:12:19,413 --> 00:12:21,333 Speaker 2: a sternly worded email to say that Tyler and I 260 00:12:21,372 --> 00:12:23,532 Speaker 2: were a terrible radio show and you didn't agree with us, 261 00:12:23,653 --> 00:12:25,732 Speaker 2: and then we just kept ignoring it and kept ignoring 262 00:12:25,773 --> 00:12:27,852 Speaker 2: it and didn't do anything, you know, what would your 263 00:12:27,852 --> 00:12:28,413 Speaker 2: next step be? 264 00:12:30,533 --> 00:12:32,453 Speaker 5: I would you know, as a Christian, I would have 265 00:12:32,533 --> 00:12:34,333 Speaker 5: to pray to God that you would help you. 266 00:12:35,533 --> 00:12:37,252 Speaker 3: That's fair, that's fair, and I think a lot of 267 00:12:37,293 --> 00:12:39,093 Speaker 3: people do that in general.

So 298 00:13:56,413 --> 00:14:01,133 Speaker 2: if you're threatening someone or causing a massive disturbance, there's 299 00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:05,213 Speaker 2: a bunch of laws that existing lords that already cover violence, threats, harassment, 300 00:14:05,252 --> 00:14:08,892 Speaker 2: and disorderly conduct. Yes, but this new thing was I 301 00:14:08,973 --> 00:14:13,253 Speaker 2: guess it's a message in society, you know, like there's 302 00:14:13,293 --> 00:14:15,733 Speaker 2: a potential prison sentence, two thousand dollars fine or whatever, 303 00:14:15,813 --> 00:14:17,172 Speaker 2: but it's more of a message to say that that 304 00:14:17,333 --> 00:14:19,813 Speaker 2: is that is the line, right, Yeah, So the line 305 00:14:19,973 --> 00:14:23,493 Speaker 2: is if you're protesting, you've gone over You've gone past 306 00:14:23,573 --> 00:14:26,813 Speaker 2: the line if you're in front of someone's house yelling 307 00:14:27,373 --> 00:14:30,292 Speaker 2: at them. You know, just the idea of it is 308 00:14:30,493 --> 00:14:34,373 Speaker 2: probably in my opinion, past where we want to be 309 00:14:34,413 --> 00:14:37,013 Speaker 2: as a society. You know, we all support the right 310 00:14:37,093 --> 00:14:39,853 Speaker 2: to protest, and we all, you know, most of us 311 00:14:40,293 --> 00:14:44,813 Speaker 2: hopefully support free speech. Yeah, but that is a line 312 00:14:44,853 --> 00:14:45,773 Speaker 2: that's just too far. 313 00:14:46,493 --> 00:14:48,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, just to pick up on Jerry's point, you know 314 00:14:48,533 --> 00:14:50,613 Speaker 3: that if someone really did have if Jerry had a 315 00:14:50,613 --> 00:14:52,813 Speaker 3: problem with us and we ignored him, it would be 316 00:14:52,933 --> 00:14:56,093 Speaker 3: okay if he turned up outside of the studios here. 317 00:14:56,493 --> 00:14:59,013 Speaker 3: That to me is an okay form of protest. But 318 00:14:59,093 --> 00:15:01,253 Speaker 3: if he turned up outside of my home. The reason 319 00:15:01,293 --> 00:15:03,292 Speaker 3: I'd have a massive problem with that because I have 320 00:15:03,413 --> 00:15:06,373 Speaker 3: people living in my home that have no association with 321 00:15:06,453 --> 00:15:08,573 Speaker 3: some of the things that I say will do. They 322 00:15:08,653 --> 00:15:13,333 Speaker 3: are completely outside of being involved and what the protests 323 00:15:13,733 --> 00:15:16,573 Speaker 3: protesters are angry about.

And a lot of 380 00:17:40,453 --> 00:17:42,813 Speaker 3: the protesters out there always make that point. It's a 381 00:17:42,933 --> 00:17:45,173 Speaker 3: peaceful protest, and that's a good thing, and that's a 382 00:17:45,293 --> 00:17:47,333 Speaker 3: right you've got. But as soon as you, as you say, 383 00:17:47,773 --> 00:17:52,413 Speaker 3: start finding out where politicians live with the megaphones, that 384 00:17:52,533 --> 00:17:54,693 Speaker 3: does start to feel not so peaceful anymore. 385 00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:58,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would say that protesters in our country 386 00:17:58,293 --> 00:18:00,693 Speaker 2: have definitely been allowed to make noise of lay. Yeah, 387 00:18:00,773 --> 00:18:03,453 Speaker 2: there's been all kinds of noise from protests.

I'd like to know what they do as 399 00:18:32,253 --> 00:18:34,613 Speaker 12: a day job, because if all they can do is 400 00:18:34,693 --> 00:18:38,173 Speaker 12: go make a noise outside someone's house, it's very unacceptable. 401 00:18:38,173 --> 00:18:40,093 Speaker 12: I hope they all got carted away and put in 402 00:18:40,173 --> 00:18:43,013 Speaker 12: the clink for the day or the night or something 403 00:18:43,693 --> 00:18:49,333 Speaker 12: and got fined. Winston peters himself as a gentleman who 404 00:18:49,373 --> 00:18:52,053 Speaker 12: presents himself really well, and I'm so glad he stands 405 00:18:52,133 --> 00:18:56,693 Speaker 12: up and steaks out always, like when he wears his 406 00:18:56,853 --> 00:19:02,373 Speaker 12: tart and tie, that is excellent, and he always seems 407 00:19:02,373 --> 00:19:04,733 Speaker 12: to be very proud of that. But I don't know 408 00:19:04,773 --> 00:19:07,173 Speaker 12: what's happening to New Zealand. All of a sudden we've 409 00:19:07,213 --> 00:19:09,693 Speaker 12: got all these the it seems to be really new. 410 00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:13,053 Speaker 10: I've been here twenty eight years and it seems to 411 00:19:13,133 --> 00:19:15,773 Speaker 10: be a sort of new episode. 412 00:19:15,373 --> 00:19:16,533 Speaker 12: That this is all happening. 413 00:19:17,653 --> 00:19:19,453 Speaker 10: And I look at the people that are doing this, 414 00:19:19,853 --> 00:19:20,493 Speaker 10: and the. 415 00:19:20,573 --> 00:19:24,653 Speaker 12: Majority, I feel the majority, and I'm definitely open to correction. 416 00:19:25,733 --> 00:19:26,853 Speaker 10: We're all visitors here. 417 00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:31,093 Speaker 12: We've been invited here as immigrants to come to this country, 418 00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:32,373 Speaker 12: and then we behave like this. 419 00:19:33,333 --> 00:19:35,613 Speaker 10: And I think the countries that a lot of people 420 00:19:35,773 --> 00:19:39,053 Speaker 10: come from, they'd be put in the clink and you 421 00:19:39,093 --> 00:19:42,373 Speaker 10: wouldn't see them again for a long time if they 422 00:19:42,453 --> 00:19:43,933 Speaker 10: did it in their own countries. 423 00:19:44,133 --> 00:19:47,293 Speaker 12: And they've come here as guests of New Zealand.

And you mentioned there in other 440 00:20:39,173 --> 00:20:42,093 Speaker 3: countries that'll be locked up, and we never ever want 441 00:20:42,133 --> 00:20:44,973 Speaker 3: to get to that situation.

I mean that that's where it gets a 480 00:22:37,613 --> 00:22:41,933 Speaker 2: bit squirrelly, doesn't it, because the street is a public place, 481 00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:46,613 Speaker 2: but the person's house, it's it is.

You're protesting public and then you're protesting 484 00:22:53,973 --> 00:22:58,213 Speaker 2: targeted at an individual individual in their home. It's just 485 00:22:58,293 --> 00:22:59,933 Speaker 2: a bit different from protesting. 486 00:23:00,733 --> 00:23:04,573 Speaker 3: I Agreeeel, that's the line crossed.

Rayleen, and we have been discussing 517 00:24:41,493 --> 00:24:45,973 Speaker 3: protesting outside of somebody's personal residents. So on Friday around 518 00:24:46,013 --> 00:24:49,733 Speaker 3: thirty protests, we're outside Foreign Minister Winston Peter's home banging drums, 519 00:24:49,853 --> 00:24:53,093 Speaker 3: waving flags and demanding action over the situation in Gaza 520 00:24:53,173 --> 00:24:55,973 Speaker 3: and the aid flowed Tiller. He has called those actions 521 00:24:56,093 --> 00:24:59,573 Speaker 3: disgraceful and that politicians family and private home should be 522 00:24:59,613 --> 00:25:02,093 Speaker 3: off limits. This text to disagree, saying. 523 00:25:04,093 --> 00:25:06,532 Speaker 2: We should be allowed to air our grievances to our government, 524 00:25:06,613 --> 00:25:10,573 Speaker 2: even if that means going to their house. Well, this businesses. 525 00:25:10,613 --> 00:25:13,853 Speaker 2: I worked at the Ministry of Social Development call center 526 00:25:13,893 --> 00:25:16,093 Speaker 2: and someone found my personal phone number and they were 527 00:25:16,133 --> 00:25:18,453 Speaker 2: sending me abusive text and this felt like a huge 528 00:25:18,493 --> 00:25:21,613 Speaker 2: invasion of privacy. Imagine if they found my address. It's 529 00:25:21,693 --> 00:25:23,173 Speaker 2: crazy out there these days, guys. 530 00:25:23,293 --> 00:25:26,253 Speaker 3: That is terrifying. And that's a part of it, writer, 531 00:25:26,373 --> 00:25:28,613 Speaker 3: is I don't know how many people know where Winston 532 00:25:28,653 --> 00:25:31,853 Speaker 3: Peters lives clearly enough. But that do scene of that 533 00:25:32,093 --> 00:25:36,773 Speaker 3: information and then using it, in my view to effectively 534 00:25:36,853 --> 00:25:41,653 Speaker 3: intimidate and cause some level of you know, the fearing 535 00:25:41,733 --> 00:25:44,413 Speaker 3: for the safety, I think is just that step too 536 00:25:44,453 --> 00:25:45,613 Speaker 3: far the success. 537 00:25:45,693 --> 00:25:48,053 Speaker 2: So the processes have given out Winston's adress and called 538 00:25:48,093 --> 00:25:49,853 Speaker 2: for people to come to his home. Imagine if the 539 00:25:49,893 --> 00:25:52,293 Speaker 2: sheer was in the other foot, for example, Trump boys 540 00:25:52,693 --> 00:25:56,933 Speaker 2: turned up and protested out a front of the other 541 00:25:57,053 --> 00:26:00,093 Speaker 2: side houses. Yeah, I mean that would boy, oh boy, 542 00:26:01,373 --> 00:26:02,293 Speaker 2: that would kick off. 543 00:26:02,373 --> 00:26:04,373 Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure we'd be hearing about that. Marty, 544 00:26:04,453 --> 00:26:05,013 Speaker 3: welcome the show. 545 00:26:05,893 --> 00:26:08,893 Speaker 8: Oh, thank you very much. Thanks guys. And I had 546 00:26:08,933 --> 00:26:11,933 Speaker 8: the privilege about one thousand years ago. I'm sixty four 547 00:26:13,133 --> 00:26:16,493 Speaker 8: working for a minister just at the time, and I 548 00:26:16,613 --> 00:26:20,413 Speaker 8: was in Parliament and they were debating and arguing and 549 00:26:20,853 --> 00:26:23,773 Speaker 8: doing what they do best, and somebody started talking about 550 00:26:24,893 --> 00:26:29,973 Speaker 8: children of MPs and their mums or their wives, and 551 00:26:30,133 --> 00:26:33,493 Speaker 8: Winston stood up and said, let's leave family out of this. 552 00:26:35,053 --> 00:26:38,493 Speaker 8: And I remember those words. I thought, how I'm not 553 00:26:38,613 --> 00:26:41,733 Speaker 8: saying I'm with them, or I thought, how proud I 554 00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:45,013 Speaker 8: was of him. Let's leap family out of this. And 555 00:26:45,133 --> 00:26:48,933 Speaker 8: it's just an extension. That house could have children in it. 556 00:26:50,813 --> 00:26:53,493 Speaker 8: You know that tubing, it's and I used to be 557 00:26:53,533 --> 00:26:59,413 Speaker 8: a protester eighty two Spring Bok tour that tubling, but 558 00:26:59,613 --> 00:27:01,933 Speaker 8: you don't go here. That's family. 559 00:27:03,213 --> 00:27:06,133 Speaker 3: And I mean, is that the crux of it for you, Marty? 560 00:27:06,253 --> 00:27:09,493 Speaker 3: That when you have individuals like family members or a 561 00:27:09,573 --> 00:27:14,133 Speaker 3: wife or children who have nothing to do with policies 562 00:27:14,213 --> 00:27:18,133 Speaker 3: being considered by a politician, that's where the line has 563 00:27:18,173 --> 00:27:22,013 Speaker 3: been crossed. That you are now effectively intimidating or potentially 564 00:27:22,133 --> 00:27:28,133 Speaker 3: scaring people who have no say in those things that 565 00:27:28,453 --> 00:27:29,533 Speaker 3: are being protested about. 566 00:27:30,413 --> 00:27:33,733 Speaker 8: Exactly. It could be a wife, a mom with two 567 00:27:33,813 --> 00:27:36,653 Speaker 8: little kids going to school and daddy happens to be 568 00:27:36,693 --> 00:27:40,053 Speaker 8: an MP. What would a five or eight year old 569 00:27:40,133 --> 00:27:43,093 Speaker 8: child know about that? And then to bring it to there? 570 00:27:43,613 --> 00:27:44,493 Speaker 8: I mean that's slow. 571 00:27:45,773 --> 00:27:47,853 Speaker 3: So where do you think protests should take place, Mardy? 572 00:27:52,733 --> 00:27:56,773 Speaker 8: Long? In front of people's personal houses? Know, whether you 573 00:27:57,053 --> 00:27:59,893 Speaker 8: like the MP, your luck and whatever, that should be 574 00:28:00,013 --> 00:28:01,053 Speaker 8: their private ground. 575 00:28:01,533 --> 00:28:04,253 Speaker 2: But what if you think that, Mardi, What if you 576 00:28:04,333 --> 00:28:07,973 Speaker 2: think that the cause is just so existentially important and 577 00:28:08,013 --> 00:28:11,853 Speaker 2: you feel like you're not getting heard, then you know, 578 00:28:11,973 --> 00:28:12,933 Speaker 2: where do you go from that? 579 00:28:13,093 --> 00:28:17,532 Speaker 3: Point well to go on to. 580 00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:25,453 Speaker 8: Say, to go close to harassing somebody's home, No, I 581 00:28:25,493 --> 00:28:30,093 Speaker 8: don't believe any courses speaking enough for that. Maybe annoys 582 00:28:30,093 --> 00:28:32,573 Speaker 8: the one that way to work annoys them in the 583 00:28:32,613 --> 00:28:36,532 Speaker 8: officers in parliament, but no, not their home, especially if 584 00:28:36,573 --> 00:28:40,773 Speaker 8: they've got children or what. No, and involved in spring 585 00:28:40,853 --> 00:28:43,893 Speaker 8: Web two demos would not dream of that. Thet us 586 00:28:43,973 --> 00:28:47,773 Speaker 8: your home. You've got a families here, yes, thank you. Children. 587 00:28:48,013 --> 00:28:51,053 Speaker 8: Children can't be blamed the dead or mum's job. 588 00:28:51,253 --> 00:28:53,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you so much for your call. 589 00:28:53,533 --> 00:28:55,773 Speaker 2: If Winston wasn't so totally gutless, there would have been 590 00:28:55,853 --> 00:28:58,133 Speaker 2: no reason to protest outside his house. You reap the 591 00:28:58,213 --> 00:29:01,253 Speaker 2: seeds you grow. So no problem with the protests targeting 592 00:29:01,333 --> 00:29:04,733 Speaker 2: winning I'll tell you what they argue. You could whatever 593 00:29:04,733 --> 00:29:06,693 Speaker 2: you want to say about Winston Peters, and there's a 594 00:29:06,693 --> 00:29:08,893 Speaker 2: lot people can say both sides. 595 00:29:09,013 --> 00:29:11,133 Speaker 3: Yep, but he's not gutless. 596 00:29:11,373 --> 00:29:11,413 Speaker 1: No. 597 00:29:11,893 --> 00:29:14,253 Speaker 3: If there's one person in New Zealand that is not gutless, 598 00:29:14,533 --> 00:29:18,493 Speaker 3: it's Winston Peters.

Yeah, that Winston Peter's is 601 00:29:23,173 --> 00:29:24,893 Speaker 2: not a gutless human being. 602 00:29:25,053 --> 00:29:26,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, taking your calls on this.

And when you 638 00:31:21,773 --> 00:31:25,693 Speaker 15: insist that the noise abatement rules to be followed so 639 00:31:25,853 --> 00:31:28,733 Speaker 15: that blocks away they won't be able to hear this protest, 640 00:31:29,773 --> 00:31:32,373 Speaker 15: there have been some vagueness about how it applies, and 641 00:31:32,493 --> 00:31:35,493 Speaker 15: so clarity is the name of the game. Everyone is 642 00:31:35,533 --> 00:31:38,333 Speaker 15: in total to their peace and their neighborhood, and if 643 00:31:38,373 --> 00:31:40,413 Speaker 15: you want to protest, it's praciss for protest, but it 644 00:31:40,573 --> 00:31:45,253 Speaker 15: isn't outside of people's homes. Sometimes those protests have happened 645 00:31:45,253 --> 00:31:47,573 Speaker 15: when they're not even home. It's only that neighborhood that's 646 00:31:47,733 --> 00:31:49,813 Speaker 15: taking the pain and bearing the bunt. 647 00:31:49,653 --> 00:31:50,013 Speaker 8: Of it all. 648 00:31:51,173 --> 00:31:53,693 Speaker 3: You, yourself, minister, have been you know, supportive of the 649 00:31:53,773 --> 00:31:55,893 Speaker 3: idea of protesting for a long time in your career 650 00:31:56,013 --> 00:31:59,493 Speaker 3: for various different issues. What's the egregious part of being 651 00:31:59,533 --> 00:32:02,733 Speaker 3: outside apologists private home? Is it the fact that sometimes 652 00:32:02,893 --> 00:32:06,533 Speaker 3: children and other family members are targeted with these actions. 653 00:32:08,413 --> 00:32:10,453 Speaker 15: Some anophol reasons. This is, first of all, not a 654 00:32:10,533 --> 00:32:14,013 Speaker 15: public place in this context. One of the marvelous things 655 00:32:14,053 --> 00:32:16,813 Speaker 15: about our law coming down through the sentries is the 656 00:32:16,933 --> 00:32:20,533 Speaker 15: right to peaceful occupation of your home, and someone breaking 657 00:32:20,533 --> 00:32:23,133 Speaker 15: the laws with the loudspeakers or three loudspigures outside the 658 00:32:23,173 --> 00:32:27,653 Speaker 15: front door is not abiding by the law. My most 659 00:32:27,693 --> 00:32:30,653 Speaker 15: important point is the can'tst places where you can protest, 660 00:32:31,173 --> 00:32:33,613 Speaker 15: but to think you're going to shout outside, for example, 661 00:32:33,613 --> 00:32:36,573 Speaker 15: as they did the other night about the three people 662 00:32:36,613 --> 00:32:39,813 Speaker 15: on the flotilla shouting out bringing them home, When we 663 00:32:39,893 --> 00:32:42,653 Speaker 15: first of all told him not to come, not to 664 00:32:42,693 --> 00:32:44,733 Speaker 15: go further. We told them not to go because it 665 00:32:44,813 --> 00:32:47,413 Speaker 15: ought to be rested last time. And the second thing, 666 00:32:47,493 --> 00:32:50,693 Speaker 15: we knew that we had foreign affairs in Anchor and 667 00:32:50,853 --> 00:32:52,853 Speaker 15: around the world stepping in to try and help them 668 00:32:52,933 --> 00:32:55,813 Speaker 15: back and they'll be coming home. So they were shouting 669 00:32:55,853 --> 00:32:58,253 Speaker 15: out a futile message. WI has already been dealt with, yes, 670 00:32:58,493 --> 00:33:01,053 Speaker 15: by Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 671 00:33:01,973 --> 00:33:03,493 Speaker 3: So would you be able to put up the noise 672 00:33:03,573 --> 00:33:08,893 Speaker 3: more if the message was less futile in your opinion, Minister, No. 673 00:33:09,453 --> 00:33:15,213 Speaker 15: Because the neighborhood has no responsibility or obligation to put 674 00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:17,053 Speaker 15: up with people preaching the law in that way. 675 00:33:18,773 --> 00:33:22,413 Speaker 2: Now, Minister, you've been around for a while, obviously, do 676 00:33:22,653 --> 00:33:26,573 Speaker 2: you think things have changed? Is this more prevalent then 677 00:33:26,653 --> 00:33:29,133 Speaker 2: than it has been in the past, this kind of behavior. 678 00:33:30,413 --> 00:33:33,093 Speaker 15: Well, it has changed dramatically because you've got these people 679 00:33:33,253 --> 00:33:35,413 Speaker 15: virtue signaling and they don't give a darn about other 680 00:33:35,453 --> 00:33:38,573 Speaker 15: people's rights. Now, you know, there's a famous speech bad 681 00:33:38,613 --> 00:33:41,413 Speaker 15: by any human politician, that says you're right in one 682 00:33:41,533 --> 00:33:44,293 Speaker 15: edge from men of my nose. It's a long long 683 00:33:44,373 --> 00:33:47,133 Speaker 15: time ago when you said that, but it is correct 684 00:33:47,373 --> 00:33:49,493 Speaker 15: when you're going to a protest you've got to write 685 00:33:49,533 --> 00:33:52,373 Speaker 15: to and that is a central part of democracy. But 686 00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:55,973 Speaker 15: there are rules and obligations you've got to follow. You can't, 687 00:33:56,093 --> 00:33:59,853 Speaker 15: for example, block roads, stop traffic, particularly when someone may 688 00:33:59,973 --> 00:34:03,933 Speaker 15: be on an emergency rushing off to hospital to save 689 00:34:04,013 --> 00:34:07,853 Speaker 15: someone's life. That is unacceptable and that's what my point is. 690 00:34:08,493 --> 00:34:09,373 Speaker 15: There's going to be rules. 691 00:34:10,133 --> 00:34:14,413 Speaker 2: So where do you support protests to take place? I mean, 692 00:34:14,453 --> 00:34:16,733 Speaker 2: we had protests in front of Parliament that were the 693 00:34:16,973 --> 00:34:22,093 Speaker 2: famous Parliament protests that ended in quite dramatic fashion. Is 694 00:34:22,573 --> 00:34:25,613 Speaker 2: Parliament the place to protest? Is it public squares? Where 695 00:34:25,653 --> 00:34:26,693 Speaker 2: do you support protests? 696 00:34:27,933 --> 00:34:29,853 Speaker 15: But it would have never been in a dramatic fashion 697 00:34:30,933 --> 00:34:34,732 Speaker 15: had not every parliamentarian signed a fact whether then Prime 698 00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:38,173 Speaker 15: Minister not to talk to them. This is unbelievable that 699 00:34:38,333 --> 00:34:40,653 Speaker 15: you'd have no one in Parliament bent appear to go 700 00:34:40,773 --> 00:34:42,933 Speaker 15: down and talk to them and hear them out. They 701 00:34:42,973 --> 00:34:45,613 Speaker 15: would have gone home. We deteriorated rapidly after that. 702 00:34:45,893 --> 00:34:49,373 Speaker 3: That's my point, Minister, isn't a part of this when 703 00:34:49,413 --> 00:34:52,333 Speaker 3: you've got actions like these protests undertook and we've had 704 00:34:52,653 --> 00:34:54,172 Speaker 3: a lot of people come through over the last forty 705 00:34:54,173 --> 00:34:56,933 Speaker 3: five minutes saying it goes too far protesting outside a 706 00:34:56,973 --> 00:35:01,213 Speaker 3: private person's residence, and then you mentioned blocking the roads 707 00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:04,093 Speaker 3: and the Auckland Harbor Bridge for example. At the end 708 00:35:04,133 --> 00:35:06,373 Speaker 3: of the day, this whole message that the protesters are 709 00:35:06,373 --> 00:35:07,853 Speaker 3: trying to get through, isn't it a bit of an 710 00:35:07,893 --> 00:35:12,053 Speaker 3: own goal because most fear minded New Zealanders can see 711 00:35:12,093 --> 00:35:14,692 Speaker 3: it goes too far or the interrupt lives of people 712 00:35:14,773 --> 00:35:17,213 Speaker 3: that have nothing to do with that, so their causes 713 00:35:17,253 --> 00:35:18,013 Speaker 3: weakened anyway. 714 00:35:19,693 --> 00:35:22,933 Speaker 15: Well, what you're really saying is they lose any moral 715 00:35:23,013 --> 00:35:25,973 Speaker 15: high ground they're claiming, and there's no morality in what 716 00:35:26,013 --> 00:35:28,333 Speaker 15: they're claiming in the first place, so they don't ever 717 00:35:28,453 --> 00:35:31,212 Speaker 15: care about moral high ground. They've come to the view 718 00:35:31,533 --> 00:35:34,773 Speaker 15: that no matter what the population thinks, no matter what 719 00:35:34,973 --> 00:35:38,413 Speaker 15: the process thinks, no matter what Parliament thinks, they in 720 00:35:38,493 --> 00:35:42,053 Speaker 15: a democracy are entitled to have their voice, whether it 721 00:35:42,213 --> 00:35:45,093 Speaker 15: be one tenth of the rest of the nation's voice 722 00:35:45,533 --> 00:35:49,413 Speaker 15: heard above all others. This is a type of fascism, 723 00:35:49,453 --> 00:35:52,253 Speaker 15: as a type of Marxism, it's a type of pictorial 724 00:35:52,293 --> 00:35:53,533 Speaker 15: behavior which we don't accept. 725 00:35:54,813 --> 00:36:00,652 Speaker 2: Now, finally, Minister, these three New Zealanders that have been 726 00:36:00,693 --> 00:36:03,333 Speaker 2: detained that were on the flotilla is there any reason 727 00:36:03,493 --> 00:36:05,893 Speaker 2: for friends and family to be concerned for their safety. 728 00:36:08,453 --> 00:36:10,973 Speaker 15: No, because we've gone to a lot of bubble we 729 00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:14,053 Speaker 15: always do that. They're we're not in any way endangered. 730 00:36:14,453 --> 00:36:18,172 Speaker 15: This was a futile journey where people were saying they're 731 00:36:18,213 --> 00:36:20,573 Speaker 15: taking aid when their aid had no chance of getting 732 00:36:20,573 --> 00:36:23,173 Speaker 15: in there. The Italian leader said, look, we've got a 733 00:36:23,293 --> 00:36:25,773 Speaker 15: military vote, give us the aid and will to make 734 00:36:25,813 --> 00:36:28,172 Speaker 15: sure it lands at the right place and it gets 735 00:36:28,213 --> 00:36:30,933 Speaker 15: to the Gazan people. But they weren't interested in getting 736 00:36:30,933 --> 00:36:33,213 Speaker 15: to the people in Gaza. They were interested in virtue 737 00:36:33,293 --> 00:36:37,893 Speaker 15: sitting the formative politics and trying to make a point 738 00:36:38,253 --> 00:36:41,493 Speaker 15: at the enormous cost of the victims in Gaza and 739 00:36:41,573 --> 00:36:45,173 Speaker 15: at the enormous cost of media space on real issues 740 00:36:45,213 --> 00:36:45,893 Speaker 15: in our country. 741 00:36:47,213 --> 00:36:49,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thank you so much for meta. 742 00:36:50,493 --> 00:36:52,173 Speaker 15: Want to say, how would you guys see how they 743 00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:54,293 Speaker 15: go outside your front door?

Actually, now that you mention it, right, 860 00:41:37,493 --> 00:41:38,813 Speaker 3: let's get into this one. This is going to be 861 00:41:38,973 --> 00:41:41,213 Speaker 3: a good discussion. So it was quite a shocking. New 862 00:41:41,293 --> 00:41:44,573 Speaker 3: report is just being released today and it does reveal 863 00:41:44,693 --> 00:41:47,293 Speaker 3: that Kiwis are losing limbs at record rates. There were 864 00:41:47,333 --> 00:41:51,053 Speaker 3: oney one and eighty one cases of people needing to 865 00:41:51,173 --> 00:41:54,053 Speaker 3: have a limb removed. That's a fifty five percent increase 866 00:41:54,093 --> 00:41:56,853 Speaker 3: from a decade ago. Not surprisingly, a lot of these 867 00:41:56,933 --> 00:42:01,293 Speaker 3: cases are due to diabetes complications. With the numbers rising, 868 00:42:01,373 --> 00:42:03,773 Speaker 3: and you can imagine, the human toll of losing a 869 00:42:03,893 --> 00:42:07,093 Speaker 3: limb is absolutely immense. So that's what we want to 870 00:42:07,133 --> 00:42:09,493 Speaker 3: have a chat about. If you've had a family member 871 00:42:10,173 --> 00:42:13,533 Speaker 3: who's experienced limb loss unexpectedly, how did it change your life? 872 00:42:13,573 --> 00:42:14,093 Speaker 3: In their life? 873 00:42:14,533 --> 00:42:17,053 Speaker 2: That's a huge number, isn't it? One one hundred and 874 00:42:17,173 --> 00:42:19,292 Speaker 2: eighty one limbs. 875 00:42:20,653 --> 00:42:24,733 Speaker 3: In a year? Quick question? Yeah, I probably should know this, 876 00:42:24,853 --> 00:42:27,853 Speaker 3: but it's just sprung to mind. Are all those limbs on? 877 00:42:28,413 --> 00:42:30,733 Speaker 2: Is that one one hundred and eighty one people or 878 00:42:30,773 --> 00:42:34,293 Speaker 2: one one hundred and one hundred, one hundred, one hundred 879 00:42:34,293 --> 00:42:34,853 Speaker 2: and eighty one limbs? 880 00:42:34,853 --> 00:42:36,733 Speaker 3: If you know what I'm saying, That is a good question. 881 00:42:37,533 --> 00:42:39,693 Speaker 3: And I don't know if the story specifies. Maybe it 882 00:42:39,813 --> 00:42:42,133 Speaker 3: is because of one person sadly has to have a 883 00:42:42,213 --> 00:42:44,373 Speaker 3: couple of limbs removed. I imagine that that gets put 884 00:42:44,413 --> 00:42:46,853 Speaker 3: into the old the old numbers, Well, you can lose 885 00:42:46,933 --> 00:42:50,013 Speaker 3: up to four yeah, yeah, very true. Yeah, O eight 886 00:42:50,013 --> 00:42:52,213 Speaker 3: one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 887 00:42:52,333 --> 00:42:55,013 Speaker 3: Nine two, nine to two, no doubt about it. If 888 00:42:55,053 --> 00:42:58,613 Speaker 3: you're ever faced with that situation where you're where you 889 00:42:58,693 --> 00:43:01,333 Speaker 3: are going to have a limb removed, that is an 890 00:43:01,413 --> 00:43:02,813 Speaker 3: absolute life changer, isn't it. 891 00:43:03,093 --> 00:43:05,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a lot of lives effective, no 892 00:43:05,613 --> 00:43:07,293 Speaker 2: which way, no, no, no matter which way you look 893 00:43:07,333 --> 00:43:07,493 Speaker 2: at it. 894 00:43:08,773 --> 00:43:11,373 Speaker 3: So what's it like losing a limb?

But what I've done 1153 00:55:14,213 --> 00:55:16,013 Speaker 17: has gone a bit of got a bit of clear 1154 00:55:16,173 --> 00:55:18,133 Speaker 17: tubing on it and stuck it on the end so 1155 00:55:18,733 --> 00:55:21,933 Speaker 17: I can use my one arm to get an undermar. 1156 00:55:23,653 --> 00:55:27,173 Speaker 3: What about driving, Graham, how does driving work for you? 1157 00:55:28,373 --> 00:55:28,533 Speaker 4: Oh? 1158 00:55:28,653 --> 00:55:31,333 Speaker 17: Well, I drive an automatic car. But that's the stupid 1159 00:55:31,413 --> 00:55:36,533 Speaker 17: part about it. When I was on Envile's benefit, they 1160 00:55:36,693 --> 00:55:38,613 Speaker 17: used to send me a request. 1161 00:55:38,253 --> 00:55:39,493 Speaker 4: To see if I. 1162 00:55:41,133 --> 00:55:43,732 Speaker 17: Whether I'd improved over the years. I said, the only 1163 00:55:43,773 --> 00:55:47,093 Speaker 17: thing I've done is I've got older, and them's still 1164 00:55:47,173 --> 00:55:50,093 Speaker 17: the same same as it was. But you know, unless 1165 00:55:50,173 --> 00:55:52,413 Speaker 17: you did what they said, they just stopped your benefit. 1166 00:55:52,533 --> 00:55:58,212 Speaker 17: So the police, I don't need to wear some seat belt, 1167 00:55:58,293 --> 00:56:02,413 Speaker 17: but the police tell I've got a thing from adopted, 1168 00:56:02,533 --> 00:56:04,573 Speaker 17: So I don't think we need to wear a seat belt, 1169 00:56:04,653 --> 00:56:07,733 Speaker 17: but they say that I need to get that reviewed 1170 00:56:07,813 --> 00:56:11,333 Speaker 17: every year. Yeah, well, you know, come on, it's my 1171 00:56:11,373 --> 00:56:16,093 Speaker 17: mom's not there. It's pretty obvious. But that's the way 1172 00:56:16,173 --> 00:56:16,893 Speaker 17: the law goes. 1173 00:56:17,293 --> 00:56:18,093 Speaker 4: Just stupid to me. 1174 00:56:18,253 --> 00:56:21,453 Speaker 3: But how have you dealt with the whole situation? 1175 00:56:21,573 --> 00:56:23,893 Speaker 2: I mean, it's been a number of years since the sixties, 1176 00:56:23,973 --> 00:56:26,293 Speaker 2: obviously you've been going through this, But how have you 1177 00:56:26,373 --> 00:56:30,373 Speaker 2: dealt with it emotionally? I can imagine there'd be there, 1178 00:56:31,173 --> 00:56:34,693 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of frustrations as well as. 1179 00:56:35,573 --> 00:56:38,692 Speaker 17: I get annoyed with it. You know, when I think, Craik, 1180 00:56:38,773 --> 00:56:39,973 Speaker 17: I've had an arm, I'd be. 1181 00:56:39,973 --> 00:56:40,693 Speaker 4: Able to do that. 1182 00:56:41,493 --> 00:56:43,893 Speaker 17: As I'm older. That's been the difficulty. 1183 00:56:44,853 --> 00:56:46,373 Speaker 6: I just can't my arm. 1184 00:56:46,693 --> 00:56:49,212 Speaker 17: We're a right arm, you know.

One of 1316 01:03:01,333 --> 01:03:04,453 Speaker 19: the fundersides was that in there one of the cupboards 1317 01:03:04,493 --> 01:03:06,933 Speaker 19: in the house there was a bundle of ripe shoes 1318 01:03:07,013 --> 01:03:09,813 Speaker 19: because when you brought a parish, he only ever needed one, 1319 01:03:10,253 --> 01:03:12,653 Speaker 19: and then you're growing up you change shoes quite often, 1320 01:03:13,093 --> 01:03:15,013 Speaker 19: and so all you ever had was there was a 1321 01:03:15,053 --> 01:03:17,653 Speaker 19: peg on his right hand side, and so we had 1322 01:03:17,693 --> 01:03:21,373 Speaker 19: all these shoes that were there.

And as 1328 01:03:37,213 --> 01:03:39,693 Speaker 19: he was growing, Dad would cut pieces of car tire 1329 01:03:40,013 --> 01:03:41,973 Speaker 19: and put them underneath his peg to kick the lenks 1330 01:03:42,013 --> 01:03:46,533 Speaker 19: about the same as his growing leg. Right. It was 1331 01:03:46,573 --> 01:03:49,293 Speaker 19: a really really hard stuff because he'd have to go 1332 01:03:49,333 --> 01:03:51,333 Speaker 19: to the hospital every now and then. We're on the 1333 01:03:51,373 --> 01:03:53,413 Speaker 19: coast and he'd come over to christ Church and then 1334 01:03:53,413 --> 01:03:55,693 Speaker 19: they'd have to go and operate and cut they've shortened 1335 01:03:55,733 --> 01:03:57,613 Speaker 19: the bone because the bone would grow the other through 1336 01:03:57,693 --> 01:04:00,773 Speaker 19: the skin and as he was doing through his normal growth, 1337 01:04:00,853 --> 01:04:02,173 Speaker 19: so they have to go and cut pieces off his 1338 01:04:02,293 --> 01:04:04,933 Speaker 19: bone and they're put him back together again. And he 1339 01:04:05,133 --> 01:04:07,773 Speaker 19: just went through all of that there and this is 1340 01:04:07,813 --> 01:04:09,293 Speaker 19: the most place break you didn't meet. 1341 01:04:09,733 --> 01:04:14,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, how was he treated at school? 1342 01:04:15,893 --> 01:04:16,013 Speaker 8: You know? 1343 01:04:17,573 --> 01:04:19,453 Speaker 19: It was a bit of a hero, but of the 1344 01:04:19,533 --> 01:04:22,853 Speaker 19: hero yeah, yeah, yeah he was.

For the longest time, I've been 1634 01:19:11,532 --> 01:19:14,372 Speaker 3: going on to you privately and publicly about Kiwi fruit, 1635 01:19:14,812 --> 01:19:17,013 Speaker 3: how good they are for you. Massive convert you are. 1636 01:19:17,173 --> 01:19:19,732 Speaker 2: Yes, I have four Kiwi fruit today and I eat 1637 01:19:19,812 --> 01:19:22,372 Speaker 2: them like an apple through the skin. Now yep, love 1638 01:19:22,412 --> 01:19:26,293 Speaker 2: it And much to the chagrin of my lovely partner Tracy. 1639 01:19:26,412 --> 01:19:30,852 Speaker 2: She she gets visibly disgusted the way I eat a 1640 01:19:31,492 --> 01:19:34,732 Speaker 2: Kiwi fruit. Why, just because she thinks you the key 1641 01:19:34,812 --> 01:19:36,892 Speaker 2: food is delicious and when you eat the skin as well, 1642 01:19:37,492 --> 01:19:40,173 Speaker 2: you are kind of destroying something that's a treat and 1643 01:19:40,253 --> 01:19:42,572 Speaker 2: just turning it into a chore. 1644 01:19:42,853 --> 01:19:46,012 Speaker 3: I couldn't disagree more. Yeah, so you do you just yeah, 1645 01:19:46,093 --> 01:19:48,133 Speaker 3: even with the even with the green, the fury ones 1646 01:19:48,253 --> 01:19:50,133 Speaker 3: like the standard green Kiwi fruit. Got to go for 1647 01:19:50,173 --> 01:19:51,852 Speaker 3: the green for the for the benefits that I'm talking 1648 01:19:51,893 --> 01:19:54,052 Speaker 3: about here. But yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's that perfect 1649 01:19:54,133 --> 01:19:55,892 Speaker 3: amount of sour and sweet. 1650 01:19:56,013 --> 01:19:56,412 Speaker 1: I love it. 1651 01:19:56,492 --> 01:19:58,892 Speaker 3: It's that whole experience. If I just get the flesh, 1652 01:19:59,452 --> 01:20:01,333 Speaker 3: then it's too sweet for my liking. I need a 1653 01:20:01,372 --> 01:20:03,173 Speaker 3: little bit of a tang. Yeah. Well, so what I 1654 01:20:03,253 --> 01:20:04,852 Speaker 3: do is I bite through and then you know, I'll 1655 01:20:05,372 --> 01:20:08,293 Speaker 3: eat the husk of it out like like golumn destroy 1656 01:20:08,492 --> 01:20:10,652 Speaker 3: a fish, and then I'll suck on it and then 1657 01:20:10,652 --> 01:20:13,972 Speaker 3: I'll to the skin afterwards, which might be waste. She's 1658 01:20:13,973 --> 01:20:14,932 Speaker 3: just for long. 1659 01:20:14,973 --> 01:20:17,173 Speaker 2: But anyway, this has just come through. A study on 1660 01:20:17,293 --> 01:20:19,333 Speaker 2: kiwi fruit has just come through. Yeah, there's just been 1661 01:20:19,412 --> 01:20:22,013 Speaker 2: sent to me because people know how much I love them. 1662 01:20:22,372 --> 01:20:25,772 Speaker 2: And look, if you eat the kiwi fruit and the skin, 1663 01:20:26,053 --> 01:20:29,813 Speaker 2: it helps you sleep better. It's a powerful anti inflammatory. 1664 01:20:30,053 --> 01:20:32,932 Speaker 2: So this is what this skin included. Ye At boosts immunity. 1665 01:20:33,173 --> 01:20:35,692 Speaker 2: It's one of the best immunity boosters you can get. 1666 01:20:36,173 --> 01:20:41,333 Speaker 2: It supports gutouth through the fiber. There's so much insoluble 1667 01:20:41,372 --> 01:20:44,173 Speaker 2: fiber in there, and soluble fiber that's if you include 1668 01:20:44,173 --> 01:20:46,693 Speaker 2: the skin as well, so grain if you're stuffing from constipation, 1669 01:20:48,053 --> 01:20:51,133 Speaker 2: and it is the lowest blood pressure and heart risk. 1670 01:20:51,333 --> 01:20:53,452 Speaker 3: So there you go. If you're not eating the skin, 1671 01:20:53,492 --> 01:20:56,452 Speaker 3: you're doing yourself a disservice. Yeah, So however you want 1672 01:20:56,492 --> 01:20:56,692 Speaker 3: to do it. 1673 01:20:56,772 --> 01:20:59,893 Speaker 2: You might want to eat the skin separately afterwards, or 1674 01:21:00,133 --> 01:21:03,093 Speaker 2: just just man through it and just munch it like 1675 01:21:03,093 --> 01:21:03,492 Speaker 2: an apple. 1676 01:21:03,612 --> 01:21:05,972 Speaker 3: There's not actually too many fruits that I wouldn't give 1677 01:21:06,013 --> 01:21:07,812 Speaker 3: a crack for having a bite of the skin, to 1678 01:21:07,853 --> 01:21:10,852 Speaker 3: be honest. Yeah, wonder if it ever comes out that 1679 01:21:11,053 --> 01:21:13,053 Speaker 3: our oranges are better if you eat the skin? That 1680 01:21:13,213 --> 01:21:14,652 Speaker 3: is hard yack? Have you ever tried to eat an 1681 01:21:14,652 --> 01:21:16,213 Speaker 3: orange just as like it's an apple? 1682 01:21:16,372 --> 01:21:16,572 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1683 01:21:16,692 --> 01:21:18,692 Speaker 3: And that's hard work? Is that is a lot of 1684 01:21:18,732 --> 01:21:20,772 Speaker 3: hard work. It dates the enjoyment factor out. I don't 1685 01:21:20,772 --> 01:21:22,892 Speaker 3: know if it's good for you. Must Yeah, give them 1686 01:21:22,893 --> 01:21:25,053 Speaker 3: a taste of kiwi keep me fruit. I love a 1687 01:21:25,692 --> 01:21:29,173 Speaker 3: fantastic with the skin on. Yeah, patriotic as well, eaty 1688 01:21:29,253 --> 01:21:32,572 Speaker 3: keew fruit right onto this conversation. This is going to 1689 01:21:32,572 --> 01:21:35,452 Speaker 3: be a great chat. So the Silver Ferns coaching saga, 1690 01:21:35,612 --> 01:21:38,572 Speaker 3: It continues and continues to get more and more dramatic, 1691 01:21:38,893 --> 01:21:42,812 Speaker 3: The latest is negotiations between Dame Nole and TADOR and 1692 01:21:42,893 --> 01:21:47,373 Speaker 3: Netball New Zealand stretched into marathon sessions without any resolution 1693 01:21:47,532 --> 01:21:50,732 Speaker 3: to get this. A recent meeting lasted nearly ten hours, 1694 01:21:50,812 --> 01:21:54,732 Speaker 3: yet no consensus was reached. And the situation, of course, 1695 01:21:54,853 --> 01:21:57,732 Speaker 3: raises a broader question. How often do we find ourselves 1696 01:21:57,772 --> 01:22:01,012 Speaker 3: and meetings that go on too long without achieving anything meaningful? 1697 01:22:01,053 --> 01:22:02,052 Speaker 3: I mean that is shocking. 1698 01:22:02,173 --> 01:22:05,132 Speaker 2: Everyone involved in a ten hour meeting like that should 1699 01:22:05,372 --> 01:22:10,973 Speaker 2: be severely reprimanded by the organization, pay docked, maybe a 1700 01:22:11,053 --> 01:22:11,812 Speaker 2: round of taserings. 1701 01:22:11,812 --> 01:22:14,093 Speaker 3: I don't know a ten if you can't. 1702 01:22:14,853 --> 01:22:17,652 Speaker 2: If you're there for ten hours and you don't sort 1703 01:22:17,652 --> 01:22:20,652 Speaker 2: anything out, then are you capable of sorting anything out? 1704 01:22:21,053 --> 01:22:24,532 Speaker 2: Surely you could, you know, within an hour, reach what 1705 01:22:24,732 --> 01:22:27,293 Speaker 2: you disagree on and then go go away and come 1706 01:22:27,372 --> 01:22:29,533 Speaker 2: back with your proposals. 1707 01:22:29,973 --> 01:22:30,932 Speaker 3: I mean, what do you going? 1708 01:22:31,013 --> 01:22:32,692 Speaker 2: I mean, I'd love to see the minutes of that 1709 01:22:32,812 --> 01:22:34,412 Speaker 2: meeting if there were, and I'm sure if it's ten 1710 01:22:34,452 --> 01:22:36,372 Speaker 2: hours or aren't minutes, and just see how much time 1711 01:22:36,452 --> 01:22:38,972 Speaker 2: was spent going round and round in circles without anyone 1712 01:22:39,452 --> 01:22:41,452 Speaker 2: being able to draw a line in the sand that 1713 01:22:41,532 --> 01:22:43,293 Speaker 2: can't be crossed. To whatever they needed to be done. 1714 01:22:44,053 --> 01:22:46,173 Speaker 2: But it got me thinking how much of our life 1715 01:22:46,893 --> 01:22:48,812 Speaker 2: lives are wasted in meetings? 1716 01:22:49,013 --> 01:22:49,333 Speaker 4: A lot? 1717 01:22:50,013 --> 01:22:51,932 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a lot if. 1718 01:22:51,933 --> 01:22:54,732 Speaker 2: In certain professions, certain professions need no meetings at all. 1719 01:22:56,093 --> 01:23:01,012 Speaker 2: I think professions that people mainly do on their feet 1720 01:23:01,452 --> 01:23:05,732 Speaker 2: have shorter meeting times than people who work behind desks 1721 01:23:05,772 --> 01:23:07,452 Speaker 2: and sitting on cheers. Right, I think that's a good 1722 01:23:07,532 --> 01:23:10,333 Speaker 2: rule of thumb. Actually, yeah, so how do you shorten them? 1723 01:23:11,732 --> 01:23:13,452 Speaker 2: And one of them might be never having them on, 1724 01:23:14,133 --> 01:23:15,293 Speaker 2: no one being allowed to sit down. 1725 01:23:16,293 --> 01:23:17,612 Speaker 3: It's a good strategy, I think. 1726 01:23:17,652 --> 01:23:19,973 Speaker 2: I think potentially not being in meeting rooms is a 1727 01:23:20,013 --> 01:23:24,333 Speaker 2: good start, yes, And and not sitting down? 1728 01:23:25,692 --> 01:23:26,732 Speaker 3: Is there someone you know? 1729 01:23:27,812 --> 01:23:30,652 Speaker 2: Is there someone you know who just goes from meeting 1730 01:23:30,732 --> 01:23:33,412 Speaker 2: to meeting all day and needs a meeting intervention as well? 1731 01:23:33,612 --> 01:23:33,812 Speaker 3: Yep? 1732 01:23:33,933 --> 01:23:36,452 Speaker 2: Because are they actually getting anything done? I know a 1733 01:23:36,452 --> 01:23:37,973 Speaker 2: bunch of people when you talk to them and go, oh, 1734 01:23:38,053 --> 01:23:40,093 Speaker 2: how was your date? Just had meeting after meeting up to. 1735 01:23:40,093 --> 01:23:42,972 Speaker 3: The meeting busy? Because not stop meetings, because a meeting 1736 01:23:45,133 --> 01:23:47,652 Speaker 3: should produce a to do list, right, So if you 1737 01:23:47,772 --> 01:23:49,732 Speaker 3: go from that meeting to another meeting, then when are 1738 01:23:49,732 --> 01:23:51,452 Speaker 3: you getting to the to do list. Yeah, are you 1739 01:23:51,572 --> 01:23:53,612 Speaker 3: really busy if you're just jumping from meeting to meeting? 1740 01:23:53,853 --> 01:23:55,412 Speaker 3: Love to eat your thoughts, though, I wait, one hundred 1741 01:23:55,412 --> 01:23:57,333 Speaker 3: and eighty ten eighty. If you're in an industry that 1742 01:23:57,492 --> 01:24:00,213 Speaker 3: is meeting crazy, what do you do to get out 1743 01:24:00,253 --> 01:24:00,452 Speaker 3: of them? 1744 01:24:00,532 --> 01:24:00,732 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1745 01:24:00,772 --> 01:24:03,093 Speaker 2: What can you do to reduce the number of meetings? 1746 01:24:03,093 --> 01:24:05,612 Speaker 2: Because I would say a ten hour meeting is clearly silly, 1747 01:24:05,692 --> 01:24:07,893 Speaker 2: but you could argue that anything. 1748 01:24:07,652 --> 01:24:09,812 Speaker 3: More than a ten minute meeting is too long. Yeah, 1749 01:24:10,173 --> 01:24:12,812 Speaker 3: we've got a meeting that we have each week with 1750 01:24:12,893 --> 01:24:15,932 Speaker 3: the boss, and that is five to ten minutes. As 1751 01:24:15,973 --> 01:24:18,452 Speaker 3: you say it, standing. Nobody takes a seat, They can 1752 01:24:18,572 --> 01:24:20,492 Speaker 3: lean if they want to. It's over by the sink 1753 01:24:20,532 --> 01:24:23,972 Speaker 3: out there, yep. And you know everyone's trying to leave 1754 01:24:24,013 --> 01:24:25,892 Speaker 3: the whole time, so people are creeping towards the door. 1755 01:24:26,372 --> 01:24:29,012 Speaker 3: Most of the things are decided looking over your shoulder 1756 01:24:29,053 --> 01:24:30,772 Speaker 3: as you're walking out. It's a perfect place because you 1757 01:24:30,812 --> 01:24:32,732 Speaker 3: get other people walking past saying what are you guys 1758 01:24:32,812 --> 01:24:34,013 Speaker 3: up to? And so we're just wrapping up. 1759 01:24:34,053 --> 01:24:37,053 Speaker 2: Nothing can get too controversial because someone else will be 1760 01:24:37,253 --> 01:24:39,133 Speaker 2: hither dupless. The ellen will be making a cup of 1761 01:24:39,173 --> 01:24:40,892 Speaker 2: coffee right in the middle of the meeting and that's 1762 01:24:40,893 --> 01:24:41,612 Speaker 2: where she goes on there. 1763 01:24:41,692 --> 01:24:44,572 Speaker 3: Yeah, very true. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is 1764 01:24:44,652 --> 01:24:46,812 Speaker 3: the number to call. How often have you set through 1765 01:24:46,853 --> 01:24:49,452 Speaker 3: a meeting that felt endless? What impact that did that 1766 01:24:49,572 --> 01:24:51,892 Speaker 3: have on your motivation? And are you in a place 1767 01:24:51,973 --> 01:24:53,732 Speaker 3: that's just meeting crazy? You'd love to hear from you. 1768 01:24:53,893 --> 01:24:56,812 Speaker 2: Yeah, what are your stratagems to deal with the meeting crisis? 1769 01:24:56,933 --> 01:24:58,732 Speaker 2: The over meeting crisis in our country? 1770 01:24:58,853 --> 01:25:02,133 Speaker 3: It is twelve bas three news talks. It'd be very 1771 01:25:02,173 --> 01:25:02,852 Speaker 3: good afternoon. 1772 01:25:02,933 --> 01:25:03,173 Speaker 4: Juu. 1773 01:25:03,452 --> 01:25:05,612 Speaker 3: So what do you think are the main reasons meetings 1774 01:25:05,772 --> 01:25:08,652 Speaker 3: drag on without clear outcomes as a poor leadership, lack 1775 01:25:08,692 --> 01:25:10,052 Speaker 3: of focus, or something else. 1776 01:25:10,732 --> 01:25:14,132 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this person raises a really important point. Regilarly 1777 01:25:14,173 --> 01:25:16,892 Speaker 2: and stupid long zoom meetings when the usual suspects find 1778 01:25:16,933 --> 01:25:19,572 Speaker 2: their next rabbit hole, I scroll Facebook and do work 1779 01:25:19,612 --> 01:25:25,293 Speaker 2: in other tabs easy. You know, zoom meetings have made 1780 01:25:25,333 --> 01:25:29,612 Speaker 2: things so much worse because you know, at any given time, 1781 01:25:30,213 --> 01:25:32,333 Speaker 2: a certain percentage of the people are totally zoned out 1782 01:25:32,372 --> 01:25:34,293 Speaker 2: and just have to get through the meeting. Yep, they're 1783 01:25:34,333 --> 01:25:38,893 Speaker 2: not listening and someone's rabbiting on and they think that 1784 01:25:38,933 --> 01:25:41,652 Speaker 2: they're having a productive meeting. But if everyone was around 1785 01:25:41,732 --> 01:25:43,692 Speaker 2: the table or in the room talking, they'd see that 1786 01:25:44,293 --> 01:25:47,052 Speaker 2: no one was zoning in at all. Very hard, because 1787 01:25:47,093 --> 01:25:49,412 Speaker 2: everyone can fake on a zoom meeting. Oh, they're zoned 1788 01:25:49,452 --> 01:25:50,492 Speaker 2: in and they're focused. 1789 01:25:50,612 --> 01:25:52,612 Speaker 3: You're just staring at a screen. But as this person 1790 01:25:52,732 --> 01:25:54,852 Speaker 3: quite quite rightly pointed out, you might be looking at 1791 01:25:54,893 --> 01:25:57,213 Speaker 3: Facebook or something else on your screen at the same time. 1792 01:25:57,492 --> 01:26:00,772 Speaker 2: Mike says, nothing infuriates me more then turning up to 1793 01:26:00,853 --> 01:26:03,093 Speaker 2: a meeting with some two hundred odd people on it 1794 01:26:03,492 --> 01:26:05,732 Speaker 2: and the host turns up with no idea what they're doing, 1795 01:26:05,853 --> 01:26:07,852 Speaker 2: how to play with a computer, or just how to 1796 01:26:07,973 --> 01:26:10,572 Speaker 2: run their your own life, wasting hundreds of people's times. 1797 01:26:11,213 --> 01:26:14,532 Speaker 2: That does my hidden Five minutes is what you have 1798 01:26:14,772 --> 01:26:17,372 Speaker 2: If you haven't started delivering after five minutes, I am. 1799 01:26:17,333 --> 01:26:20,972 Speaker 3: Out good man, like, yeah, that's great. Oh, one hundred 1800 01:26:20,973 --> 01:26:23,173 Speaker 3: and eighteen eighty is the number to call. What are 1801 01:26:23,213 --> 01:26:26,213 Speaker 3: your top tips for getting out of meetings? Tony, Welcome 1802 01:26:26,253 --> 01:26:26,612 Speaker 3: to the show. 1803 01:26:28,253 --> 01:26:31,173 Speaker 11: These meetings are not a problem at all. I'm well 1804 01:26:31,253 --> 01:26:33,652 Speaker 11: into my seventies now. I've spent the pure parts of 1805 01:26:33,692 --> 01:26:37,412 Speaker 11: my life either running meetings or being part of them 1806 01:26:38,732 --> 01:26:44,093 Speaker 11: for various voluntary semi voluntary or professional organizations. 1807 01:26:44,853 --> 01:26:45,852 Speaker 8: There is a. 1808 01:26:47,853 --> 01:26:53,253 Speaker 11: Book, a short book, a pamphlet, and it's called Bendley's Rules. 1809 01:26:54,053 --> 01:26:57,213 Speaker 11: Benley's Rules are the procedures of meetings. And it's at 1810 01:26:57,372 --> 01:26:59,293 Speaker 11: least one hundred years. 1811 01:26:59,093 --> 01:27:02,892 Speaker 3: Old, right, So was it called Bitley's Bentley's Law? 1812 01:27:03,013 --> 01:27:09,133 Speaker 11: Did you say Bentley's Rules are being conduct of meetings? 1813 01:27:10,492 --> 01:27:12,092 Speaker 3: And have you got it there in front of your toney? 1814 01:27:13,013 --> 01:27:15,452 Speaker 11: No, I have it in my possession somewhere. If you 1815 01:27:15,532 --> 01:27:19,572 Speaker 11: want it sometimes fo or send a copy. And there 1816 01:27:19,692 --> 01:27:24,932 Speaker 11: is also a shortened version and that again probably goes 1817 01:27:25,093 --> 01:27:27,812 Speaker 11: back to the days of good old trade unions, and 1818 01:27:27,933 --> 01:27:32,053 Speaker 11: it's produced by the Workers' Educational Association w e A. 1819 01:27:33,333 --> 01:27:37,253 Speaker 11: And again simple rules for running meetings. And the simple 1820 01:27:37,412 --> 01:27:43,173 Speaker 11: rules are A, you have an agenda. B you have 1821 01:27:44,333 --> 01:27:49,973 Speaker 11: minutes of the meeting, and see the minutes form the 1822 01:27:50,053 --> 01:27:52,692 Speaker 11: basis of the next meeting should there be in need 1823 01:27:52,812 --> 01:27:55,532 Speaker 11: of one, in other words, and the first item on 1824 01:27:55,692 --> 01:27:59,173 Speaker 11: the should be minutes of last meeting, which you then 1825 01:27:59,293 --> 01:28:02,652 Speaker 11: discussed in confirm or whatever. You need to have a 1826 01:28:02,772 --> 01:28:10,852 Speaker 11: competent chairman who understands those rules, and the secretary, yeah 1827 01:28:11,133 --> 01:28:13,852 Speaker 11: doesn't even the secretary doesn't even to know, need to 1828 01:28:13,933 --> 01:28:15,213 Speaker 11: know what the meeting is about. 1829 01:28:16,893 --> 01:28:19,053 Speaker 3: So what does the secretary do? The secretary is just 1830 01:28:19,133 --> 01:28:20,573 Speaker 3: needed to take minutes. 1831 01:28:21,612 --> 01:28:25,692 Speaker 2: Basically, Yes, So basically what you're saying is that you 1832 01:28:25,732 --> 01:28:28,012 Speaker 2: should you have it should have a purpose for the meeting, 1833 01:28:28,732 --> 01:28:33,812 Speaker 2: and then you should have a you should have I 1834 01:28:33,893 --> 01:28:38,053 Speaker 2: guess plans sit forth for things to do that come 1835 01:28:38,093 --> 01:28:41,612 Speaker 2: out of the meeting, and then you should have a 1836 01:28:41,732 --> 01:28:45,372 Speaker 2: way to check that those things have been done or done. 1837 01:28:47,093 --> 01:28:49,933 Speaker 11: The thing he talks about what it's all about is 1838 01:28:50,093 --> 01:28:52,652 Speaker 11: the agenda, and the agenda should be said to everyone 1839 01:28:53,093 --> 01:28:56,852 Speaker 11: who's attending the meeting, preferably a day or two in advanced, 1840 01:28:56,933 --> 01:29:00,612 Speaker 11: or a week in advance if necessary. And we are 1841 01:29:00,692 --> 01:29:03,572 Speaker 11: having a meeting on the date, at the place and 1842 01:29:03,732 --> 01:29:09,173 Speaker 11: the time you're invited to for example, or you were 1843 01:29:09,253 --> 01:29:12,892 Speaker 11: instructed to attend, as the case may be. The agenda 1844 01:29:12,933 --> 01:29:15,852 Speaker 11: of the meeting is this is what we are going 1845 01:29:15,973 --> 01:29:20,852 Speaker 11: to discuss, and you discuss nothing else except what on 1846 01:29:21,213 --> 01:29:24,652 Speaker 11: the agenda, except the last sit among the agendas, any 1847 01:29:24,692 --> 01:29:25,293 Speaker 11: other business. 1848 01:29:25,893 --> 01:29:28,133 Speaker 3: So have you been in these meetings before, Tony, we 1849 01:29:28,213 --> 01:29:30,452 Speaker 3: have had to call out something that wasn't on the agenda. 1850 01:29:30,572 --> 01:29:31,973 Speaker 3: You have to stop the meeting to say, hang on 1851 01:29:32,013 --> 01:29:34,412 Speaker 3: a minute, it's not on the agenda. We're not dwelving 1852 01:29:34,452 --> 01:29:35,372 Speaker 3: into this in this meeting. 1853 01:29:37,013 --> 01:29:40,213 Speaker 11: Yes, and you can insist that it's not discussed in fact, 1854 01:29:41,013 --> 01:29:46,012 Speaker 11: and unless the meeting agrees that it can go under 1855 01:29:46,293 --> 01:29:50,012 Speaker 11: any other business. You were there to discuss the items 1856 01:29:50,133 --> 01:29:52,572 Speaker 11: on the agenda, nothing more, nothing less. 1857 01:29:53,492 --> 01:29:56,572 Speaker 2: So how much time would you allow for Tony? How 1858 01:29:56,652 --> 01:29:59,412 Speaker 2: much time would you allow for small talk? 1859 01:29:59,772 --> 01:30:01,932 Speaker 3: How was your weekends? Et cetera. 1860 01:30:03,013 --> 01:30:05,973 Speaker 11: Oh, that's the just before the meeting starts. 1861 01:30:05,812 --> 01:30:07,812 Speaker 2: Right right right, I say, we say, that's a very 1862 01:30:07,853 --> 01:30:11,173 Speaker 2: good point. So if you want to have a chat 1863 01:30:11,213 --> 01:30:13,772 Speaker 2: about the weekend, then you arrive ten minutes before the meeting. 1864 01:30:13,893 --> 01:30:16,173 Speaker 2: But as soon as it hits say the meetings at 1865 01:30:16,253 --> 01:30:18,692 Speaker 2: nine am. Soon as it hits nine am, then that 1866 01:30:18,933 --> 01:30:20,972 Speaker 2: is the subject of the meeting. A lot of people 1867 01:30:21,013 --> 01:30:23,492 Speaker 2: are texting through Tony saying the duration of a meeting 1868 01:30:23,612 --> 01:30:26,253 Speaker 2: is a problem. That you know, people either book them 1869 01:30:26,293 --> 01:30:30,372 Speaker 2: for half an hour or one hour, when surely some 1870 01:30:30,572 --> 01:30:33,412 Speaker 2: meetings are ten minutes, some meetings twenty minutes. 1871 01:30:34,372 --> 01:30:38,572 Speaker 11: You know how long the meetings? The chairman woman person 1872 01:30:39,692 --> 01:30:43,612 Speaker 11: should know how long that meeting should take. When you're 1873 01:30:43,652 --> 01:30:47,452 Speaker 11: starting something new, you probably have to guess it a bit. 1874 01:30:48,572 --> 01:30:50,932 Speaker 11: But have you been running going to the meetings long? 1875 01:30:51,372 --> 01:30:57,253 Speaker 11: The organization's been going for so long you would just say, well, 1876 01:30:57,333 --> 01:31:01,013 Speaker 11: normally we take an hour from beginning to end. 1877 01:31:02,492 --> 01:31:04,492 Speaker 3: I mean it makes sense, Tony. I don't like the 1878 01:31:04,572 --> 01:31:06,933 Speaker 3: idea of any other business though. That just opens up 1879 01:31:06,973 --> 01:31:09,572 Speaker 3: to me anybody who's got something that they want to 1880 01:31:09,572 --> 01:31:11,532 Speaker 3: have a chat about, I'd take that part out of 1881 01:31:11,572 --> 01:31:13,612 Speaker 3: the meeting. So then you finished, there's no other business 1882 01:31:13,692 --> 01:31:14,253 Speaker 3: for this meeting? 1883 01:31:15,692 --> 01:31:17,852 Speaker 6: Well, yes, it just depends. 1884 01:31:17,973 --> 01:31:20,293 Speaker 11: You see, it's at the end and so it's the 1885 01:31:20,372 --> 01:31:24,213 Speaker 11: last item. So if you say there's any other business 1886 01:31:24,293 --> 01:31:26,772 Speaker 11: and it's five to ten for an hour's meeting that 1887 01:31:26,893 --> 01:31:28,253 Speaker 11: started at nine, hurry up. 1888 01:31:28,772 --> 01:31:30,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you've got to have a space for 1889 01:31:30,933 --> 01:31:33,253 Speaker 3: any other business. What eff say said? Oh, by the way, 1890 01:31:33,333 --> 01:31:35,692 Speaker 3: there's a hostile takeover of the company coming and we 1891 01:31:35,933 --> 01:31:39,173 Speaker 3: need to we need to work on that. 1892 01:31:40,652 --> 01:31:42,492 Speaker 11: You have to trust Mark to put that one in 1893 01:31:42,572 --> 01:31:47,933 Speaker 11: dinner if any other business suddenly, someone decides it's important, 1894 01:31:48,372 --> 01:31:50,652 Speaker 11: we will carry this forward to the next meeting, or 1895 01:31:50,652 --> 01:31:53,933 Speaker 11: we'll have another meeting, an extraordinary meeting instead of the 1896 01:31:54,013 --> 01:31:55,692 Speaker 11: monthly meeting. We'll have on next week. 1897 01:31:56,293 --> 01:31:58,772 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Tony. I mean there's anything else 1898 01:31:58,812 --> 01:32:01,333 Speaker 2: there of the meeting? Oh yeah, the whole officers on fire, 1899 01:32:01,572 --> 01:32:03,173 Speaker 2: and I think we should make it a way to 1900 01:32:03,213 --> 01:32:03,532 Speaker 2: the exit. 1901 01:32:03,532 --> 01:32:04,772 Speaker 3: And I just told you they met. We'll bring that 1902 01:32:04,893 --> 01:32:06,933 Speaker 3: up negst meeting because we're out of time. There's a 1903 01:32:06,973 --> 01:32:09,213 Speaker 3: good teake e. In relation to what Tony was saying, 1904 01:32:09,253 --> 01:32:12,012 Speaker 3: I've got two theories as to meeting many of fellers, 1905 01:32:12,053 --> 01:32:13,852 Speaker 3: which seems to have gotten worse over the course of 1906 01:32:13,933 --> 01:32:16,772 Speaker 3: many years. One is the march of technology, including email 1907 01:32:16,812 --> 01:32:21,053 Speaker 3: and calendars. Before you needed administrative assistance to set up 1908 01:32:21,093 --> 01:32:24,212 Speaker 3: meetings via phone, and that took time. So except for weekly, 1909 01:32:24,333 --> 01:32:28,133 Speaker 3: regularly scheduled status meetings, you had far less meetings. Now 1910 01:32:28,213 --> 01:32:31,572 Speaker 3: setting up a meeting all at your fingertips. Another I noticed, 1911 01:32:31,732 --> 01:32:34,532 Speaker 3: at least in officers, is the domain issue. People are 1912 01:32:34,612 --> 01:32:37,253 Speaker 3: very protective these days of their officers or cubicles of 1913 01:32:37,333 --> 01:32:40,692 Speaker 3: workspaces and resent what they see as intrusions if you 1914 01:32:40,772 --> 01:32:43,612 Speaker 3: so much as knock, interrupting whatever they were doing. Before 1915 01:32:43,652 --> 01:32:46,133 Speaker 3: you walked around, dropped into chet, gathered folks around for 1916 01:32:46,253 --> 01:32:49,492 Speaker 3: a quick confab, great word all and formal. Now this 1917 01:32:49,572 --> 01:32:50,732 Speaker 3: sort of thing is frowned upon. 1918 01:32:51,412 --> 01:32:54,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I think a lot of the problem is 1919 01:32:54,293 --> 01:32:57,173 Speaker 2: as well as everyone's. It's so easy to organize a meeting, 1920 01:32:57,612 --> 01:32:59,492 Speaker 2: so you'll just fire off an email saying here's a 1921 01:32:59,572 --> 01:33:02,052 Speaker 2: meeting on this at this point, and then include everyone 1922 01:33:02,173 --> 01:33:05,812 Speaker 2: and then they're sort of obliged to attend. I think 1923 01:33:05,853 --> 01:33:08,933 Speaker 2: it used to be a higher threshold I am to 1924 01:33:09,173 --> 01:33:11,213 Speaker 2: get a meeting going back in the day, because a 1925 01:33:11,253 --> 01:33:12,892 Speaker 2: lot of people do a meeting because they can't work 1926 01:33:12,893 --> 01:33:13,372 Speaker 2: out a problem. 1927 01:33:13,412 --> 01:33:15,333 Speaker 3: So they're like, I can't work out how this. I 1928 01:33:15,412 --> 01:33:17,053 Speaker 3: can't work out how to do this. It's too hard, 1929 01:33:17,093 --> 01:33:20,013 Speaker 3: I'm too dumb. I'm an absolute idiot. What I'll do? 1930 01:33:20,133 --> 01:33:22,173 Speaker 2: But I can operate a calendar, So I'll send out 1931 01:33:22,213 --> 01:33:23,812 Speaker 2: an inviting to a meeting, and then I'll try and 1932 01:33:23,853 --> 01:33:25,692 Speaker 2: get other people to do my job for me exactly. 1933 01:33:25,853 --> 01:33:27,532 Speaker 3: And when you do that on a meeting, you get 1934 01:33:27,612 --> 01:33:30,372 Speaker 3: shamed if you haven't responded. Quite often, now you know, 1935 01:33:30,492 --> 01:33:34,213 Speaker 3: I'll get asked to attend a meeting and would either 1936 01:33:34,293 --> 01:33:36,772 Speaker 3: say your attendance is mandatory, But then it's got a 1937 01:33:36,812 --> 01:33:39,612 Speaker 3: big list to say who said yes, who said no? 1938 01:33:40,013 --> 01:33:42,772 Speaker 3: Who was still waiting to say anything? That's shaming. 1939 01:33:43,532 --> 01:33:45,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you should. You need to take the power 1940 01:33:45,173 --> 01:33:50,253 Speaker 2: back and just respond No, this meeting looks stupid. Steve 1941 01:33:50,293 --> 01:33:53,532 Speaker 2: from Wellington says government worker here, meetings after meetings, after 1942 01:33:53,612 --> 01:33:56,132 Speaker 2: bloody meeting. Then at the end of the meeting nothing decided. 1943 01:33:56,532 --> 01:33:58,452 Speaker 2: People say we will make a decision at the next 1944 01:33:58,532 --> 01:34:01,932 Speaker 2: meeting drives me absolutely bloody insane. 1945 01:34:02,173 --> 01:34:04,012 Speaker 3: Yeah, spot on, that is so true. 1946 01:34:05,372 --> 01:34:08,532 Speaker 2: This is a good quote from Jason Freed, who the 1947 01:34:09,973 --> 01:34:13,532 Speaker 2: great software CEO. Meetings should be like salt, a spice 1948 01:34:13,572 --> 01:34:16,812 Speaker 2: sprinkled carefully to enhance a dish, not poured recklessly over 1949 01:34:17,173 --> 01:34:20,492 Speaker 2: every forkful. Too much salt destroys the dish.

Yeah, John, You've 1981 01:35:40,893 --> 01:35:43,373 Speaker 2: got some tips from a meeting from Australian retailer. 1982 01:35:44,532 --> 01:35:48,652 Speaker 16: Yes, there's a retail a supermarket retailer in Australia who 1983 01:35:48,812 --> 01:35:50,692 Speaker 16: have well, I still believe they have it. They had 1984 01:35:50,692 --> 01:35:53,852 Speaker 16: a forty five minute maxim meeting time that you could 1985 01:35:53,893 --> 01:35:56,612 Speaker 16: have with them, and they even had in their meeting rooms. 1986 01:35:56,652 --> 01:35:58,812 Speaker 16: They even had clocks in their in their room that 1987 01:35:58,893 --> 01:36:00,772 Speaker 16: had a at the forty five minute mark had the 1988 01:36:00,812 --> 01:36:04,253 Speaker 16: red zone, so you knew once you hit that, that 1989 01:36:04,492 --> 01:36:06,333 Speaker 16: was that was it, that was your done in dusted. 1990 01:36:06,612 --> 01:36:09,253 Speaker 16: I've even been involved in a meeting where the customer 1991 01:36:09,253 --> 01:36:11,053 Speaker 16: actually at that forty five minute mark got up and 1992 01:36:11,093 --> 01:36:14,572 Speaker 16: walked out and we weren't even we hadn't even finished 1993 01:36:14,612 --> 01:36:17,572 Speaker 16: what we were presenting doing. So we we sort of 1994 01:36:17,652 --> 01:36:20,412 Speaker 16: learned from that pretty quickly that we've got to keep 1995 01:36:20,412 --> 01:36:23,293 Speaker 16: the information that we're providing to that under forty five minutes, 1996 01:36:23,333 --> 01:36:26,772 Speaker 16: because yeah, it was, it was, It was pretty crucial. 1997 01:36:26,893 --> 01:36:28,772 Speaker 2: I wonder how much time it's been wasted, John in 1998 01:36:28,853 --> 01:36:32,652 Speaker 2: the world that people just go a meeting is an 1999 01:36:32,692 --> 01:36:36,333 Speaker 2: hour long. So you book a meeting and book for 2000 01:36:36,333 --> 01:36:38,732 Speaker 2: an hour, and you only have thirty seven and a 2001 01:36:38,772 --> 01:36:40,333 Speaker 2: half minutes with the stuff to get through. 2002 01:36:41,133 --> 01:36:45,293 Speaker 16: Yeah, well, I think I think this particular retailer had 2003 01:36:45,532 --> 01:36:48,532 Speaker 16: obviously had a huge number of meetings per day with 2004 01:36:48,772 --> 01:36:50,893 Speaker 16: some of the key buyers that they just had to 2005 01:36:50,973 --> 01:36:54,253 Speaker 16: do that to maintain some sanity and some control over 2006 01:36:54,692 --> 01:36:58,652 Speaker 16: over what over what they were doing. In fact, I had, 2007 01:36:58,853 --> 01:37:00,933 Speaker 16: in fact, I worked for a company once and this 2008 01:37:01,093 --> 01:37:03,732 Speaker 16: is the most disaster we had. We had a meeting 2009 01:37:03,973 --> 01:37:05,492 Speaker 16: that discussed the number of meetings that. 2010 01:37:05,492 --> 01:37:06,092 Speaker 8: We're having. 2011 01:37:07,652 --> 01:37:07,932 Speaker 3: Meeting. 2012 01:37:10,572 --> 01:37:11,732 Speaker 16: I didn't go to that because I thought it was 2013 01:37:11,732 --> 01:37:14,652 Speaker 16: an absolute wasteful Yeah, it was weird. 2014 01:37:14,933 --> 01:37:16,253 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is. 2015 01:37:16,612 --> 01:37:19,012 Speaker 3: That's a great strategy, though, John. I mean the countdown 2016 01:37:19,013 --> 01:37:20,333 Speaker 3: of a meet and I like that. And then when 2017 01:37:20,372 --> 01:37:23,532 Speaker 3: it gets to the red zone, whether you're got something 2018 01:37:23,572 --> 01:37:25,173 Speaker 3: to say or not, we're done. It was forty five 2019 01:37:25,213 --> 01:37:27,452 Speaker 3: minutes and you can walk out. Hi, guys. 2020 01:37:27,893 --> 01:37:31,133 Speaker 2: We used to have a meetings quarterly in Singapore. One year, 2021 01:37:31,173 --> 01:37:33,412 Speaker 2: one of my colleagues decided to present the same presentation 2022 01:37:33,532 --> 01:37:37,253 Speaker 2: and see how many times you get achieved it. He 2023 01:37:37,372 --> 01:37:39,812 Speaker 2: mentioned it three times before anyone tapped him on the 2024 01:37:39,812 --> 01:37:42,732 Speaker 2: shoulder by one of the mate's big bosses to suggest 2025 01:37:42,772 --> 01:37:44,132 Speaker 2: he might want to update his presentation. 2026 01:37:44,253 --> 01:37:47,452 Speaker 3: That's how useful meetings are, it says a lot. Oh 2027 01:37:47,532 --> 01:37:49,772 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is number to call. 2028 01:37:49,893 --> 01:37:53,013 Speaker 3: Have we gone meeting? Crazy in this country. Nine two 2029 01:37:53,133 --> 01:37:55,372 Speaker 3: ninety two is the text number. I mean, it's a 2030 01:37:55,412 --> 01:37:57,372 Speaker 3: big part of our productivity, right, We've got we've got 2031 01:37:57,492 --> 01:37:59,972 Speaker 3: sharking productivity. And if you spend most of your day 2032 01:38:00,053 --> 01:38:02,532 Speaker 3: going in and out of meetings and there's no nothing 2033 01:38:03,013 --> 01:38:04,052 Speaker 3: productive being done. 2034 01:38:04,652 --> 01:38:08,213 Speaker 2: Meetings now are just useless powerpoints that no one understands well. 2035 01:38:08,372 --> 01:38:10,732 Speaker 2: I mean it's too much to say that there's no 2036 01:38:11,053 --> 01:38:14,772 Speaker 2: worthwhile meeting. I mean there are some things that need, 2037 01:38:14,973 --> 01:38:17,652 Speaker 2: you know, like say, for example, just to make up 2038 01:38:17,652 --> 01:38:21,333 Speaker 2: an example, a kid's gone missing, you do need to 2039 01:38:21,372 --> 01:38:23,532 Speaker 2: have a meeting to work out the grid pattern where 2040 01:38:23,572 --> 01:38:27,852 Speaker 2: everyone's searching. But that's why I think. But meetings like 2041 01:38:27,893 --> 01:38:30,293 Speaker 2: that are generally done standing up, aren't they. Yeah, yeah, 2042 01:38:30,452 --> 01:38:33,612 Speaker 2: So it's the difference between a useful meeting and a 2043 01:38:33,692 --> 01:38:37,812 Speaker 2: non useful meeting, you know, the seating arrangement. 2044 01:38:38,253 --> 01:38:39,892 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love to hear from you.

My brother was a CEO. 2198 01:45:58,372 --> 01:46:00,652 Speaker 2: This is further to what I was saying before. My 2199 01:46:00,732 --> 01:46:03,652 Speaker 2: brother was SEO of many, a large company in London. 2200 01:46:03,692 --> 01:46:06,012 Speaker 3: In New York. He would often run his meeting standing 2201 01:46:06,133 --> 01:46:08,892 Speaker 3: up so they didn't drag. That's a great strategy. Can 2202 01:46:08,893 --> 01:46:10,652 Speaker 3: you hear from you though, oh eight hundred and eighty 2203 01:46:10,893 --> 01:46:14,692 Speaker 3: ten eighty, what is the best strategy from keeping meetings 2204 01:46:14,772 --> 01:46:17,812 Speaker 3: too to a time limit? Love to hear from you. 2205 01:46:18,173 --> 01:46:20,932 Speaker 3: Brad says, this uber driver is getting two stars. It's 2206 01:46:20,973 --> 01:46:22,732 Speaker 3: not on the topic, but it is interesting. I wonder 2207 01:46:22,812 --> 01:46:24,892 Speaker 3: what he's done. He kind of been they're bad. Two stars. 2208 01:46:24,933 --> 01:46:27,452 Speaker 3: That's pretty low, but thanks for sharing bread. Yeah, chess 2209 01:46:27,572 --> 01:46:31,853 Speaker 3: potentially not meant for us, but yeah, good the issues. 2210 01:46:31,492 --> 01:46:33,932 Speaker 1: That affect you and a bit of fun along the way. 2211 01:46:34,213 --> 01:46:37,692 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons News Talk said. 2212 01:46:37,492 --> 01:46:41,013 Speaker 3: Be very good afternoon, jud Is sixteen to four. Do 2213 01:46:41,133 --> 01:46:43,452 Speaker 3: we have a problem with too many meetings in this country? 2214 01:46:44,093 --> 01:46:50,532 Speaker 2: Simon? Your ex military had a meeting's work in the military. Well, yeah, 2215 01:46:50,732 --> 01:46:53,652 Speaker 2: you're there, yeap, we can hear loud and clear, Simon. 2216 01:46:55,412 --> 01:46:55,612 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2217 01:46:56,293 --> 01:46:59,692 Speaker 20: What I thought was interesting with this topic was I've 2218 01:46:59,772 --> 01:47:02,852 Speaker 20: worked in the military, but I've also worked in corporate 2219 01:47:03,612 --> 01:47:06,572 Speaker 20: in environments, and I've also worked in the construction industry. 2220 01:47:07,133 --> 01:47:10,892 Speaker 20: And yeah, by far, out of all those three industries, 2221 01:47:11,013 --> 01:47:14,333 Speaker 20: by far, the most efficient at meetings were believed or 2222 01:47:14,372 --> 01:47:21,132 Speaker 20: not the Army, and the reason was because the army. 2223 01:47:21,013 --> 01:47:22,052 Speaker 4: Is task focused. 2224 01:47:22,812 --> 01:47:24,253 Speaker 17: You know, everything you do in the Army is. 2225 01:47:24,293 --> 01:47:28,253 Speaker 20: Driven towards achieving something, and if you're not achieving something. 2226 01:47:28,412 --> 01:47:32,973 Speaker 3: Then you know, it's considered superfluous, which makes a lot 2227 01:47:33,013 --> 01:47:35,532 Speaker 3: of sense. So what would an average meeting look like 2228 01:47:35,652 --> 01:47:36,333 Speaker 3: in the military. 2229 01:47:38,093 --> 01:47:41,532 Speaker 20: Well, yeah, I mean there's two types of meetings in 2230 01:47:41,572 --> 01:47:45,333 Speaker 20: the military. There's that your administrative meetings where you had 2231 01:47:45,372 --> 01:47:47,933 Speaker 20: to you know, your day to day running of you know, 2232 01:47:48,133 --> 01:47:51,293 Speaker 20: your administration, logistics and all that sort of thing, and 2233 01:47:51,412 --> 01:47:55,253 Speaker 20: that was sort of your you know, your housekeeping. But 2234 01:47:55,372 --> 01:47:59,572 Speaker 20: then you also had obviously the meetings that were sort 2235 01:47:59,572 --> 01:48:02,652 Speaker 20: of we used to call them orderscript vo groups where 2236 01:48:02,973 --> 01:48:05,133 Speaker 20: you know, if you were doing a military activity, that's 2237 01:48:05,173 --> 01:48:08,213 Speaker 20: where the plan was explained, your mission, you were, did 2238 01:48:08,412 --> 01:48:11,692 Speaker 20: your mission, given the chance to ask any relevant questions, 2239 01:48:11,732 --> 01:48:13,732 Speaker 20: and in a way you went with that information. Now, 2240 01:48:13,772 --> 01:48:17,893 Speaker 20: those were very very concise because the whoever was in 2241 01:48:18,013 --> 01:48:22,013 Speaker 20: command of that was giving you specifics on exactly what 2242 01:48:22,173 --> 01:48:23,852 Speaker 20: you needed to do and if the only time you 2243 01:48:24,013 --> 01:48:26,452 Speaker 20: questioned them was if you were unsure of what he 2244 01:48:26,572 --> 01:48:31,892 Speaker 20: was asking you to do. Yeah, But the administrative side 2245 01:48:32,013 --> 01:48:35,333 Speaker 20: was very much, you know, similar to a corporate you know, 2246 01:48:35,412 --> 01:48:36,772 Speaker 20: the same sort of thing that you get in a 2247 01:48:36,812 --> 01:48:41,972 Speaker 20: corporate environment. But people were as soon as they finished 2248 01:48:42,053 --> 01:48:44,053 Speaker 20: what they needed to do or you had achieved what 2249 01:48:44,173 --> 01:48:47,293 Speaker 20: you needed to do, everyone was more focused on getting 2250 01:48:47,372 --> 01:48:50,333 Speaker 20: back to their real job, you know, which was in 2251 01:48:50,412 --> 01:48:53,732 Speaker 20: most cases commanding soldiers or training soldiers or whatever it was. 2252 01:48:54,333 --> 01:48:57,452 Speaker 20: But the desire wasn't there to linger. 2253 01:48:58,612 --> 01:49:01,772 Speaker 3: Yeah, which makes sense in an outfit like the military. 2254 01:49:01,812 --> 01:49:05,252 Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's what's needed that we get military 2255 01:49:05,333 --> 01:49:07,932 Speaker 3: personnel to go around corporate New Zealand and just say 2256 01:49:07,973 --> 01:49:09,692 Speaker 3: this is how can you kind of run your meetings 2257 01:49:09,732 --> 01:49:10,133 Speaker 3: from now on. 2258 01:49:11,372 --> 01:49:13,133 Speaker 20: I don't think that would go down very well. I 2259 01:49:13,173 --> 01:49:15,253 Speaker 20: think there might be a few upset people if you did. 2260 01:49:15,213 --> 01:49:20,773 Speaker 2: That with their protocols around meetings under fire and emergency 2261 01:49:20,853 --> 01:49:23,532 Speaker 2: situations that you yeah. 2262 01:49:23,412 --> 01:49:26,253 Speaker 20: Well, I mean that's exactly what you train for. And 2263 01:49:26,333 --> 01:49:29,972 Speaker 20: that's exactly the reason why at an O group it's 2264 01:49:30,053 --> 01:49:33,372 Speaker 20: so business like, because you know, in a lot of cases, 2265 01:49:33,452 --> 01:49:36,692 Speaker 20: time is important, and the quicker you can get your 2266 01:49:37,133 --> 01:49:40,732 Speaker 20: information across that everyone can confirm that they understand it, 2267 01:49:41,133 --> 01:49:42,692 Speaker 20: and the quicker you can go off and do what 2268 01:49:42,812 --> 01:49:45,772 Speaker 20: you need to do. And because that's, you know, how 2269 01:49:45,853 --> 01:49:48,853 Speaker 20: you train to do your job. I think that attitude, 2270 01:49:49,173 --> 01:49:52,333 Speaker 20: you know, sort of ran over into the more administrative 2271 01:49:52,412 --> 01:49:54,652 Speaker 20: side of things and people were more focused on doing 2272 01:49:54,692 --> 01:49:57,173 Speaker 20: it rather than talking about it. Yeah. 2273 01:49:57,293 --> 01:50:00,532 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean life and death kind of situations. Yeah, 2274 01:50:00,732 --> 01:50:03,892 Speaker 2: you know, there's no time for just sort of trying 2275 01:50:03,933 --> 01:50:06,812 Speaker 2: to set back and chew up some time in the day. Yeah, 2276 01:50:06,853 --> 01:50:10,572 Speaker 2: sitting still doing nothing interesting, experiment to do to just 2277 01:50:10,612 --> 01:50:12,772 Speaker 2: see how many meetings if you're invited to a lot 2278 01:50:12,812 --> 01:50:15,932 Speaker 2: of meetings that you go to without ever saying anything. 2279 01:50:16,692 --> 01:50:18,652 Speaker 2: Because if you go to a meeting and don't say anything, 2280 01:50:18,732 --> 01:50:20,412 Speaker 2: and then you're invited to the next meeting, and then 2281 01:50:20,452 --> 01:50:22,293 Speaker 2: the next meeting and the next meeting. I mean I 2282 01:50:22,333 --> 01:50:24,333 Speaker 2: guess some people that doesn't quite make sense because some 2283 01:50:24,372 --> 01:50:25,172 Speaker 2: people are there. 2284 01:50:25,053 --> 01:50:28,412 Speaker 3: To just be told stuff. Yeah, just to listen and 2285 01:50:28,572 --> 01:50:31,572 Speaker 3: take on the information. But like this text here, get 2286 01:50:31,612 --> 01:50:35,333 Speaker 3: a guys. Social service agencies are terrible, poorly run, lots 2287 01:50:35,333 --> 01:50:37,812 Speaker 3: of touchy, fairly stuff and a round of what everyone 2288 01:50:38,253 --> 01:50:41,412 Speaker 3: did at the weekend. Such a waste of time for bridget. 2289 01:50:41,452 --> 01:50:44,772 Speaker 2: This textas says, having worked in numerous workplaces, I generally 2290 01:50:44,812 --> 01:50:47,372 Speaker 2: find right leaning teams are more focused and direct and 2291 01:50:47,412 --> 01:50:48,932 Speaker 2: want to result from each meeting. 2292 01:50:49,053 --> 01:50:49,213 Speaker 8: Well. 2293 01:50:49,293 --> 01:50:52,173 Speaker 2: Left leaning staff will often suggest another meeting to make 2294 01:50:52,213 --> 01:50:55,053 Speaker 2: a decision and not rush to answer. Take from that 2295 01:50:55,253 --> 01:50:55,772 Speaker 2: what you will. 2296 01:50:56,532 --> 01:51:00,053 Speaker 3: Politics in the boardroom, well, this one is quite controversial. 2297 01:51:00,133 --> 01:51:02,372 Speaker 3: Get a guys. The company I work for is one 2298 01:51:02,612 --> 01:51:06,933 Speaker 3: hundred percent women employees and management, including me, and it 2299 01:51:06,973 --> 01:51:09,892 Speaker 3: feels like nothing can get without another face to face meeting. 2300 01:51:10,013 --> 01:51:12,333 Speaker 3: Everything needs to be talked out, which feels like a 2301 01:51:12,412 --> 01:51:14,572 Speaker 3: massive waste of time when you just need someone to 2302 01:51:14,652 --> 01:51:16,652 Speaker 3: take action. Was that from a female? 2303 01:51:16,732 --> 01:51:16,972 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2304 01:51:17,572 --> 01:51:22,492 Speaker 3: Right, So the implication there is that it's primarily females 2305 01:51:22,572 --> 01:51:24,972 Speaker 3: that like, are we face to face one. 2306 01:51:24,893 --> 01:51:26,893 Speaker 2: Hundred and eighty ten eighty. Are you a female that 2307 01:51:27,013 --> 01:51:29,973 Speaker 2: thinks females do too much talking in meetings and not 2308 01:51:30,133 --> 01:51:30,772 Speaker 2: enough doing. 2309 01:51:30,973 --> 01:51:32,452 Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to hit back at that, by 2310 01:51:32,492 --> 01:51:33,652 Speaker 3: all means, give us a call. 2311 01:51:34,013 --> 01:51:36,532 Speaker 2: This texasays you're confusing a meeting with a discussion. Meetings 2312 01:51:36,612 --> 01:51:39,133 Speaker 2: have an agenda, make decisions, a point task, and who's 2313 01:51:39,173 --> 01:51:42,372 Speaker 2: responsible and when they'll have action completed. A good meeting 2314 01:51:42,452 --> 01:51:46,092 Speaker 2: lasts no more than thirty minutes, absolutely not one second 2315 01:51:46,213 --> 01:51:49,612 Speaker 2: over an hour. Discussions are a talk fest with no 2316 01:51:49,732 --> 01:51:53,492 Speaker 2: real takeaways or responsibilities or actions. 2317 01:51:53,812 --> 01:51:56,652 Speaker 3: Succinctly said, keep those teas coming through on nine two 2318 01:51:56,812 --> 01:51:59,612 Speaker 3: nine to two. Heymen. 2319 01:51:59,893 --> 01:52:02,812 Speaker 2: As a farmer, I couldn't understand how the corporate four 2320 01:52:02,933 --> 01:52:06,572 Speaker 2: day work week could possibly possibly happen with productivity to 2321 01:52:06,652 --> 01:52:09,253 Speaker 2: remain constant in some cases a parent improve after this 2322 01:52:09,372 --> 01:52:11,452 Speaker 2: topic of meetings became very clear. 2323 01:52:11,532 --> 01:52:15,333 Speaker 3: Why, Yeah, farmers do not have time for multiple meetings. Yea, Oh, 2324 01:52:15,412 --> 01:52:18,013 Speaker 3: eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number, to 2325 01:52:18,053 --> 01:52:20,093 Speaker 3: call love to hear your thoughts. It's eleven to four. 2326 01:52:21,093 --> 01:52:24,452 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 2327 01:52:24,812 --> 01:52:28,892 Speaker 1: everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons news talks. 2328 01:52:28,933 --> 01:52:32,812 Speaker 3: They'd be news talks. There'd be eight to four, Terry, 2329 01:52:32,933 --> 01:52:33,932 Speaker 3: how are you this afternoon? 2330 01:52:34,452 --> 01:52:34,572 Speaker 8: Oh? 2331 01:52:34,812 --> 01:52:39,652 Speaker 21: Very good, thank you. But all Harkers should all meet. 2332 01:52:39,692 --> 01:52:44,172 Speaker 21: He should start with a Harker and the national anthem 2333 01:52:44,333 --> 01:52:47,532 Speaker 21: sang in four different languages or three or four anyway. 2334 01:52:48,372 --> 01:52:51,093 Speaker 21: You know you've got to take it all very seriously. 2335 01:52:51,173 --> 01:52:55,732 Speaker 3: Okay, very very successfully. Book He sports the long intro 2336 01:52:55,853 --> 01:52:58,172 Speaker 3: to a meeting their Terry. Unless he was being facetious, 2337 01:52:58,253 --> 01:53:00,932 Speaker 3: I think he might have been. Yeah, plenty of teacher 2338 01:53:00,973 --> 01:53:02,772 Speaker 3: coming through on nine two ninety two. 2339 01:53:03,013 --> 01:53:05,612 Speaker 2: As a family helicopter business, we have to have meetings 2340 01:53:05,732 --> 01:53:08,213 Speaker 2: mum and dad and kids. It's always turns into a 2341 01:53:08,532 --> 01:53:10,692 Speaker 2: huge debate and a bit of yelling and we get 2342 01:53:10,732 --> 01:53:13,612 Speaker 2: through it and still love each other. Rather not have them, 2343 01:53:13,933 --> 01:53:18,972 Speaker 2: but part of caa very good family helicopter business. Hey guys, 2344 01:53:19,133 --> 01:53:21,173 Speaker 2: I used to work for a Dutch company. They know 2345 01:53:21,253 --> 01:53:23,093 Speaker 2: how to run a meeting. If it was scheduled to 2346 01:53:23,133 --> 01:53:25,812 Speaker 2: start at one pm. Everyone would be online and logged 2347 01:53:25,853 --> 01:53:28,173 Speaker 2: in by twelve fifty five and never went past the 2348 01:53:28,213 --> 01:53:30,893 Speaker 2: scheduled finished time, clear agenda and outcomes. 2349 01:53:31,333 --> 01:53:32,013 Speaker 4: Yeah like that. 2350 01:53:32,213 --> 01:53:33,813 Speaker 3: The Dutch they don't muck around. 2351 01:53:34,253 --> 01:53:37,812 Speaker 2: Says at the first AI meeting, this is good. At 2352 01:53:37,853 --> 01:53:40,773 Speaker 2: the first AA meeting they said, don't hang around with alcoholics. 2353 01:53:40,853 --> 01:53:42,293 Speaker 2: So I stopped going to AA meetings. 2354 01:53:42,692 --> 01:53:45,532 Speaker 3: Very good, So I get a Matt and Tyler the 2355 01:53:45,692 --> 01:53:49,012 Speaker 3: last call from the Army. I work within the forces 2356 01:53:49,213 --> 01:53:52,333 Speaker 3: and have come from a corporate background. I have noticed 2357 01:53:52,412 --> 01:53:55,333 Speaker 3: that working with ranks, they all need to be told 2358 01:53:55,452 --> 01:53:57,692 Speaker 3: what the job is and what needs to be done, 2359 01:53:58,213 --> 01:54:00,772 Speaker 3: rather than asking for input. I suspect that's why their 2360 01:54:00,853 --> 01:54:02,293 Speaker 3: meetings are so efficient. 2361 01:54:03,173 --> 01:54:05,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean shouldn't that be kind of the 2362 01:54:05,732 --> 01:54:08,812 Speaker 2: way for a lot of meetings? I mean, are they 2363 01:54:08,893 --> 01:54:09,732 Speaker 2: sort of getting together? 2364 01:54:10,013 --> 01:54:10,293 Speaker 3: I guess. 2365 01:54:10,372 --> 01:54:12,572 Speaker 2: But then again, if you're just getting orders in a corporation, 2366 01:54:12,652 --> 01:54:13,772 Speaker 2: then what do you need to have a meeting? 2367 01:54:14,133 --> 01:54:16,532 Speaker 3: If it's just do this, do this, do this, do this? Yeah, 2368 01:54:16,572 --> 01:54:17,692 Speaker 3: because it just an email. 2369 01:54:17,812 --> 01:54:19,412 Speaker 2: Just goes back to what everyone says that they're badly 2370 01:54:19,492 --> 01:54:21,452 Speaker 2: run meetings if nothing happens on it, if you don't 2371 01:54:21,492 --> 01:54:24,053 Speaker 2: go around and get people to put and put in 2372 01:54:24,093 --> 01:54:27,412 Speaker 2: the area that they are expert on to help the 2373 01:54:27,452 --> 01:54:28,132 Speaker 2: other people. 2374 01:54:27,973 --> 01:54:29,532 Speaker 3: Know where things are going. Then what's the point in it. 2375 01:54:29,732 --> 01:54:32,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, the trouble is that meetings get booked for an 2376 01:54:32,373 --> 01:54:34,933 Speaker 2: hour in the public service, then everyone feels they just 2377 01:54:35,053 --> 01:54:36,213 Speaker 2: need to use up that time. 2378 01:54:37,253 --> 01:54:40,373 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's rife in the public service, but 2379 01:54:40,493 --> 01:54:46,693 Speaker 3: rife everywhere. Yeah, and this one, guys, I just lost 2380 01:54:46,733 --> 01:54:48,693 Speaker 3: it here. It is work for Health New Zealand. At 2381 01:54:48,772 --> 01:54:50,852 Speaker 3: least one meeting a week with one hundred and thirty 2382 01:54:50,893 --> 01:54:53,733 Speaker 3: plus people for one hour. Best one.
