Come on, how grinch are 14 00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:51,132 Speaker 2: we when we're nicol and diming them, making them pay 15 00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:53,092 Speaker 2: for their own Christmas party?

Wow, warm, 52 00:02:32,893 --> 00:02:36,293 Speaker 2: it's getting warm. He's getting the hot December five. Yeah, 53 00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:38,733 Speaker 2: it's only going to get hotter as we go through 54 00:02:38,893 --> 00:02:41,613 Speaker 2: into January and February. Of course you've moved up from 55 00:02:41,693 --> 00:02:45,613 Speaker 2: christ Church to Auckland. Yes, so humidity becomes a factor. 56 00:02:45,773 --> 00:02:47,613 Speaker 2: You don't get a lot of thirty degree days you'll 57 00:02:47,613 --> 00:02:50,213 Speaker 2: get You'll get more thirty degree days in Canterbury than 58 00:02:50,252 --> 00:02:50,893 Speaker 2: you will in Auckland. 59 00:02:51,053 --> 00:02:53,453 Speaker 3: It feels it up here. It was twenty four yesterday. 60 00:02:53,493 --> 00:02:55,893 Speaker 3: I walked outside and I felt the burning on my skin. 61 00:02:55,933 --> 00:02:59,013 Speaker 2: I thought, twenty eight degrees in Auckland. Is you feel 62 00:02:59,053 --> 00:03:01,893 Speaker 2: twenty eight degrees more than you feel thirty two down south. 63 00:03:02,013 --> 00:03:03,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know what I'm going to do. 64 00:03:03,493 --> 00:03:06,013 Speaker 3: So the problem is that we've got a two story rental, 65 00:03:06,293 --> 00:03:09,093 Speaker 3: the air con slash heat pumps down stairs, and we've 66 00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:11,972 Speaker 3: genuinely taken the mattress down for the last two nights. 67 00:03:12,013 --> 00:03:14,532 Speaker 3: We're sleeping in the lounge at the moment with the dog. 68 00:03:14,893 --> 00:03:17,373 Speaker 3: It's not good for the relationship really, you know, it's 69 00:03:17,413 --> 00:03:19,013 Speaker 3: not good for a bit of a bit of me 70 00:03:19,093 --> 00:03:21,853 Speaker 3: and mayve time with the dog there just watching us. 71 00:03:21,893 --> 00:03:24,813 Speaker 3: So go for it. Yeah, yeah, well I love it. Yeah, 72 00:03:24,893 --> 00:03:27,773 Speaker 3: maybe the tod would love it. But the question is 73 00:03:27,813 --> 00:03:31,172 Speaker 3: how they hick do we call down the upstairs of 74 00:03:31,293 --> 00:03:33,172 Speaker 3: the rental. We can't get a heat pump in there. 75 00:03:33,252 --> 00:03:34,933 Speaker 3: Well we could, but I don't want to pay five 76 00:03:34,973 --> 00:03:39,293 Speaker 3: grands seven grand. So I looked into the idea of 77 00:03:39,373 --> 00:03:43,293 Speaker 3: this portable ear con units and it's way harder than 78 00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:45,973 Speaker 3: I thought, but quite expensive. And also if you don't 79 00:03:46,013 --> 00:03:48,733 Speaker 3: have the right type of windows, then there's no point 80 00:03:48,893 --> 00:03:52,413 Speaker 3: because you're just sucking in hot ear from outside. At 81 00:03:52,493 --> 00:03:54,893 Speaker 3: least you have that down pat that you've locked it 82 00:03:54,933 --> 00:03:57,773 Speaker 3: all together, so no ear can get in. So it's 83 00:03:57,813 --> 00:03:58,453 Speaker 3: a big problem. 84 00:03:58,573 --> 00:04:00,293 Speaker 2: So you want a solution. You want to you want 85 00:04:00,333 --> 00:04:03,773 Speaker 2: to ask the good people of Newstalk ZB to call 86 00:04:03,813 --> 00:04:06,733 Speaker 2: through on eight hundred eighty ten eighty and nine two 87 00:04:06,853 --> 00:04:08,453 Speaker 2: nine two and the teach summer and help you. 88 00:04:08,773 --> 00:04:12,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, please, And so the Texas coming through saying mate, 89 00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:15,813 Speaker 3: you just wait until December, January and February. I know 90 00:04:15,933 --> 00:04:18,493 Speaker 3: that that's why I want solutions now. But that is 91 00:04:18,653 --> 00:04:21,213 Speaker 3: after three o'clock. After two o'clock we're gonna have a 92 00:04:21,293 --> 00:04:24,893 Speaker 3: chat about Samagi Bargie when it comes to parking up 93 00:04:25,013 --> 00:04:28,893 Speaker 3: in Funngaday. So here's the situation at the Pack and Save. 94 00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:33,533 Speaker 3: They had a car parking policy that let anybody car 95 00:04:33,613 --> 00:04:35,693 Speaker 3: park in the car park whether they were shopping at 96 00:04:35,693 --> 00:04:38,013 Speaker 3: the supermarket or not. They figured that the car park 97 00:04:38,053 --> 00:04:39,653 Speaker 3: was big enough as long as you didn't take the 98 00:04:39,733 --> 00:04:43,533 Speaker 3: mick too much. They had complaints from their genuine customers, 99 00:04:43,573 --> 00:04:47,053 Speaker 3: so they've changed that rule that if you're not shopping 100 00:04:47,293 --> 00:04:51,373 Speaker 3: in the supermarket and the supermarket alone, then they are 101 00:04:51,413 --> 00:04:54,853 Speaker 3: going to sting you. Now they're being criticized by those 102 00:04:54,853 --> 00:04:57,053 Speaker 3: people who did kind of take the mick and use 103 00:04:57,093 --> 00:04:58,813 Speaker 3: the car park. But we want to chat to you 104 00:04:58,893 --> 00:05:05,253 Speaker 3: about using business car parks. Is it legitimate to if 105 00:05:05,293 --> 00:05:07,693 Speaker 3: you buy something from their business to stay in that 106 00:05:07,813 --> 00:05:10,413 Speaker 3: car park to go and do some more shopping. It 107 00:05:10,493 --> 00:05:12,933 Speaker 3: is Christmas, We're all doing it, and I'm thinking about 108 00:05:12,973 --> 00:05:14,773 Speaker 3: more car parks as well. When you go in there 109 00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:18,893 Speaker 3: maybe for one thing, then you spend half the day 110 00:05:18,933 --> 00:05:21,013 Speaker 3: and them all doing you know, bits and pieces, and 111 00:05:21,053 --> 00:05:22,213 Speaker 3: you come back and you got to take it on 112 00:05:22,253 --> 00:05:22,693 Speaker 3: your car. 113 00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,573 Speaker 2: Yeah. Or the other thing that I do is I'll 114 00:05:25,613 --> 00:05:28,173 Speaker 2: park in the supermarket car park, then I'll go and 115 00:05:28,213 --> 00:05:30,173 Speaker 2: do off a bunch of other shopping and then I'll 116 00:05:30,213 --> 00:05:32,333 Speaker 2: do my supermarket shopping last. Do you have to do 117 00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:33,613 Speaker 2: your supermarket shopping first? 118 00:05:33,853 --> 00:05:34,733 Speaker 3: Yeah? 119 00:05:34,813 --> 00:05:38,773 Speaker 2: And do they expect that you're only shopping in there, 120 00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:41,173 Speaker 2: so say they give you ninety minutes or whatever that 121 00:05:41,333 --> 00:05:42,933 Speaker 2: ninety minutes has to be spent in their shop. 122 00:05:43,053 --> 00:05:43,293 Speaker 3: Yep. 123 00:05:43,813 --> 00:05:45,413 Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's a risky business for 124 00:05:46,133 --> 00:05:50,213 Speaker 2: the supermarket towing people because look, I spend a lot 125 00:05:50,253 --> 00:05:53,013 Speaker 2: of money at my supermarket and maybe I take the 126 00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,493 Speaker 2: mickey a little bit with parking when I'm doing other stuff. 127 00:05:55,533 --> 00:05:57,053 Speaker 2: But if they told me, I got a lot of 128 00:05:57,093 --> 00:05:59,173 Speaker 2: other options, and I spend a lot of money in 129 00:05:59,173 --> 00:06:00,933 Speaker 2: the supermarket and I could easily go and spend it 130 00:06:00,933 --> 00:06:03,053 Speaker 2: somewhere else. And I imagine if I got towed for 131 00:06:03,133 --> 00:06:06,333 Speaker 2: my supermarket car park because I was off across the 132 00:06:06,373 --> 00:06:08,613 Speaker 2: road doing some shopping, that'll be the last time even 133 00:06:08,653 --> 00:06:09,333 Speaker 2: went to that sid market. 134 00:06:09,413 --> 00:06:09,613 Speaker 4: Yeah. 135 00:06:09,613 --> 00:06:11,733 Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's going to be a good chat after two o'clock. 136 00:06:11,773 --> 00:06:12,893 Speaker 3: But right now, we do want to have a chat 137 00:06:12,933 --> 00:06:14,213 Speaker 3: about Christmas parties. 138 00:06:14,613 --> 00:06:18,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, the public sector because due to the carts, government 139 00:06:18,613 --> 00:06:21,373 Speaker 2: agencies are spending very little on their Christmas parties of anything. 140 00:06:22,293 --> 00:06:24,413 Speaker 2: Some agencies have decided not to hold an end of 141 00:06:24,493 --> 00:06:27,893 Speaker 2: year Christmas parties. Some of them are holding absolutely pathetic 142 00:06:28,053 --> 00:06:32,533 Speaker 2: Christmas parties. Some of them are making their workers pay 143 00:06:32,573 --> 00:06:34,813 Speaker 2: to go to the Christmas parties. Is that what we 144 00:06:34,853 --> 00:06:37,413 Speaker 2: had a problem with when it came to the public 145 00:06:37,453 --> 00:06:40,333 Speaker 2: sector and their spending. I think that was we were 146 00:06:40,373 --> 00:06:45,453 Speaker 2: angry about crazy parties when someone was leaving a going 147 00:06:45,453 --> 00:06:49,293 Speaker 2: away party, or just excessive parties. But I think everyone accepts, 148 00:06:49,293 --> 00:06:51,373 Speaker 2: at whatever workplace you're in, that you're going to have 149 00:06:51,413 --> 00:06:54,093 Speaker 2: a party. That's the bare minimum that there's a decent 150 00:06:54,173 --> 00:06:55,853 Speaker 2: knees up at the end of the year. And do 151 00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:57,613 Speaker 2: we really care if the Ministry of Housing and urban 152 00:06:57,653 --> 00:07:01,133 Speaker 2: development has a Christmas party with a few beers. I mean, 153 00:07:01,173 --> 00:07:04,653 Speaker 2: if they're having an elaborate Christmas party where they're paying 154 00:07:05,453 --> 00:07:08,253 Speaker 2: expensive international artists that come in and they're eating suit 155 00:07:08,573 --> 00:07:11,933 Speaker 2: off each other's naked bodies, then maybe we'd complain about it. Yeah, 156 00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:15,853 Speaker 2: but a normal keiwe Christmas party public set to go 157 00:07:15,973 --> 00:07:20,253 Speaker 2: for it. And I would say around the entire wider world, 158 00:07:20,293 --> 00:07:23,973 Speaker 2: including you know, the commercial world, if you run a 159 00:07:24,013 --> 00:07:27,133 Speaker 2: business and you don't have a Christmas party, are you 160 00:07:27,173 --> 00:07:27,853 Speaker 2: really a business? 161 00:07:28,013 --> 00:07:29,893 Speaker 3: Yeah? It would be a bit of a slap in 162 00:07:29,933 --> 00:07:32,013 Speaker 3: the face to the employees, whether you are public service 163 00:07:32,133 --> 00:07:35,213 Speaker 3: or not not having any sort of Christmas party. 164 00:07:35,413 --> 00:07:39,533 Speaker 2: I think after a whole year working hard together that 165 00:07:39,573 --> 00:07:41,253 Speaker 2: you need to come together and put a full stop 166 00:07:41,293 --> 00:07:43,093 Speaker 2: on the end of the year and have a few drinks. 167 00:07:43,893 --> 00:07:45,613 Speaker 2: I think it's the bare minimum, isn't it. 168 00:07:45,693 --> 00:07:47,933 Speaker 3: Yeah. And just to your point on this is what 169 00:07:47,973 --> 00:07:50,013 Speaker 3: we talked about when we wanted them to, you know, 170 00:07:50,093 --> 00:07:52,453 Speaker 3: be a bit more careful with the taxpayer money. And 171 00:07:52,493 --> 00:07:57,173 Speaker 3: remember when the government first came into power and they 172 00:07:57,173 --> 00:07:59,373 Speaker 3: asked for cuts and then they took away the instant coffee, 173 00:07:59,373 --> 00:08:01,453 Speaker 3: the Greggs, and of course at the time, we all 174 00:08:01,453 --> 00:08:03,453 Speaker 3: said no, you give them a cup of coffee for 175 00:08:03,533 --> 00:08:05,733 Speaker 3: goodness sake and give them a Christmas party. 176 00:08:05,773 --> 00:08:07,733 Speaker 2: That's not with the way sugges. That makes a difference 177 00:08:08,413 --> 00:08:11,213 Speaker 2: about being punitive. I think the public service can have 178 00:08:11,293 --> 00:08:13,413 Speaker 2: a Christmas party. 179 00:08:13,653 --> 00:08:14,893 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh eight hundred. 180 00:08:15,053 --> 00:08:17,573 Speaker 2: I mean I think they existed to honor the people 181 00:08:17,693 --> 00:08:19,893 Speaker 2: you work with and the work you've done. That's where 182 00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,373 Speaker 2: you have it. And it's a ritualistic full stop to 183 00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:25,333 Speaker 2: the year and getting together with your workmates and having 184 00:08:25,373 --> 00:08:28,613 Speaker 2: a few drinks as fun, and it creates a culture, 185 00:08:28,653 --> 00:08:30,933 Speaker 2: and it brings together and it creates stories and gossip. 186 00:08:30,973 --> 00:08:31,613 Speaker 2: It's fantastic. 187 00:08:31,653 --> 00:08:33,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, ol eight hundred eighty ten eighty is and number 188 00:08:33,852 --> 00:08:36,213 Speaker 3: to call? Are these government departments been a bit miserly 189 00:08:36,373 --> 00:08:39,653 Speaker 3: by not hosting a Christmas party? Or if they do, 190 00:08:39,732 --> 00:08:41,333 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a sad affair and they make 191 00:08:41,372 --> 00:08:42,533 Speaker 3: the employees pay. 192 00:08:42,453 --> 00:08:45,133 Speaker 2: And supplementary issue. If you are about to attend a 193 00:08:45,372 --> 00:08:47,813 Speaker 2: Christmas party, what are your rules that you have yourself? 194 00:08:47,852 --> 00:08:50,732 Speaker 2: Because you can finish the year right and it's been 195 00:08:50,732 --> 00:08:52,973 Speaker 2: going really well, and then you can go way too 196 00:08:53,012 --> 00:08:55,612 Speaker 2: hard at your Christmas party, humiliate yourself and go into 197 00:08:55,653 --> 00:09:00,413 Speaker 2: the holidays riddle with shame. So you know, I've been 198 00:09:00,413 --> 00:09:02,213 Speaker 2: doing a whole lot of Christmas parties. I went to 199 00:09:02,213 --> 00:09:04,533 Speaker 2: one last night, actually, and I've got a whole lot 200 00:09:04,573 --> 00:09:07,492 Speaker 2: more to go to. And I've been successful and unsuccessful 201 00:09:07,492 --> 00:09:10,412 Speaker 2: at Christmas parties. I've woken up the next day in shame, 202 00:09:10,453 --> 00:09:12,492 Speaker 2: and I've woken up the next day full of pride 203 00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:14,732 Speaker 2: at my behavior. So how do you get through a 204 00:09:14,813 --> 00:09:17,933 Speaker 2: Christmas party with your dignity and tact? 205 00:09:18,053 --> 00:09:19,492 Speaker 3: This is going to be good. Oh, one hundred and 206 00:09:19,533 --> 00:09:21,813 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty, it's the number to call. It is 207 00:09:21,973 --> 00:09:23,933 Speaker 3: fourteen past one. 208 00:09:24,732 --> 00:09:28,213 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and 209 00:09:28,453 --> 00:09:32,252 Speaker 1: everything in between.

Christmas parties. 212 00:09:38,933 --> 00:09:41,773 Speaker 2: Okay. I've been thinking about this, and I think that 213 00:09:42,732 --> 00:09:46,333 Speaker 2: every workplace owes their workers a Christmas party. I don't 214 00:09:46,372 --> 00:09:49,133 Speaker 2: care if it's the public sector or not. If you 215 00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:52,653 Speaker 2: work all year for a company, they owe you a 216 00:09:52,653 --> 00:09:54,492 Speaker 2: couple of drinks at the end of the year. And 217 00:09:54,653 --> 00:09:58,532 Speaker 2: any business or any organization that doesn't put on a 218 00:09:58,612 --> 00:10:01,733 Speaker 2: Christmas party has no soul and is entering into a 219 00:10:01,732 --> 00:10:02,853 Speaker 2: phase of demise. 220 00:10:03,053 --> 00:10:05,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's terrible for morale, isn't it? Not even too 221 00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:10,412 Speaker 3: measily drinks Allen? How are you get Allen? 222 00:10:11,132 --> 00:10:14,813 Speaker 5: And every company owes their work of a Christmas party? 223 00:10:15,173 --> 00:10:19,133 Speaker 5: Why should all the earnests be on the company? Uh, 224 00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:23,173 Speaker 5: my daughter's work. They contribute into a Christmas fund and 225 00:10:23,213 --> 00:10:27,213 Speaker 5: they have theirs that way, and the company chips are 226 00:10:27,372 --> 00:10:30,453 Speaker 5: on it. It's not one hundred percent that's on the company. 227 00:10:31,293 --> 00:10:35,173 Speaker 2: That's cheaper. That's cheap of the company, cheap one. 228 00:10:35,132 --> 00:10:37,133 Speaker 5: Of the company. It's only because you're looking on the 229 00:10:37,173 --> 00:10:41,132 Speaker 5: receiving then don't you think it's a joint situation. 230 00:10:41,252 --> 00:10:44,093 Speaker 2: Well, I run a little little company and I put 231 00:10:44,132 --> 00:10:46,612 Speaker 2: on a Christmas party.

And and 233 00:10:50,132 --> 00:10:52,973 Speaker 2: I work at other companies and they put on Christmas parties. 234 00:10:53,372 --> 00:10:55,372 Speaker 2: I just think it's the it's it's the bare minimum 235 00:10:55,372 --> 00:10:58,012 Speaker 2: you can do.

Controversial hookup to be honest, 680 00:30:40,133 --> 00:30:42,493 Speaker 2: but it's worked out for Lee's Navi Da. So that's 681 00:30:42,493 --> 00:30:44,333 Speaker 2: actually increased the size of my heart just a little bit. 682 00:30:44,373 --> 00:30:46,813 Speaker 2: That that, Although to be fair, I don't know what 683 00:30:46,933 --> 00:30:47,973 Speaker 2: controversial hookup means. 684 00:30:48,093 --> 00:30:52,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, just when it comes to the sanitization of the 685 00:30:52,533 --> 00:30:54,813 Speaker 3: Christmas party, that makes me a bit upset. I missed 686 00:30:54,813 --> 00:30:57,173 Speaker 3: the good old days where you could let loose a 687 00:30:57,213 --> 00:31:01,213 Speaker 3: little bit and do some things that were slightly embarrassing, 688 00:31:01,213 --> 00:31:03,533 Speaker 3: and you've got to toe that line quite carefully. And 689 00:31:03,613 --> 00:31:05,813 Speaker 3: you've written a very good piece about this man on 690 00:31:05,853 --> 00:31:08,813 Speaker 3: the dos and don'ts of Christmas parties. Yeah, that they 691 00:31:08,893 --> 00:31:10,213 Speaker 3: have changed dramatically, haven't they. 692 00:31:10,893 --> 00:31:11,093 Speaker 6: Yeah. 693 00:31:11,293 --> 00:31:14,133 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think, you know, I believe that 694 00:31:14,533 --> 00:31:16,733 Speaker 2: it's good to go to a Christmas party, but I 695 00:31:16,813 --> 00:31:20,173 Speaker 2: also believe this that that that there's there's for your 696 00:31:20,213 --> 00:31:23,653 Speaker 2: own personal well being going to the holiday holiday break. 697 00:31:23,733 --> 00:31:26,413 Speaker 2: Then there's there's some them rules that you that you 698 00:31:26,453 --> 00:31:28,013 Speaker 2: should go in And I've learned these over the years 699 00:31:28,013 --> 00:31:30,053 Speaker 2: and maybe I should share them a little bit, so 700 00:31:30,133 --> 00:31:31,493 Speaker 2: I show them in a little bit. I've got I've 701 00:31:31,533 --> 00:31:35,613 Speaker 2: got the four pillars of of things to tell yourself 702 00:31:35,653 --> 00:31:37,613 Speaker 2: before you go to a work Christmas party. So you 703 00:31:37,693 --> 00:31:38,973 Speaker 2: come out there not hating yourself. 704 00:31:39,213 --> 00:31:41,573 Speaker 3: This is going to be going Craig. You love putting 705 00:31:41,613 --> 00:31:42,933 Speaker 3: on and do for your workers. 706 00:31:43,613 --> 00:31:44,053 Speaker 6: Yeah, I do. 707 00:31:44,333 --> 00:31:47,053 Speaker 12: I mean I'm only a real small company, well very 708 00:31:47,093 --> 00:31:49,453 Speaker 12: small now because i haven't got any workers. But the 709 00:31:49,613 --> 00:31:52,853 Speaker 12: last ten years I've ad had five or seconds guy's 710 00:31:52,933 --> 00:31:56,133 Speaker 12: work for me and I really enjoyed saying thank you 711 00:31:56,253 --> 00:32:00,893 Speaker 12: to them through the year. But because of those guys, 712 00:32:01,053 --> 00:32:05,013 Speaker 12: is it's my success, you know. But but I my 713 00:32:05,133 --> 00:32:09,933 Speaker 12: Christmas party is always on the business was doing. So 714 00:32:10,053 --> 00:32:13,413 Speaker 12: we've had some real good ones where we've you know, 715 00:32:13,573 --> 00:32:18,453 Speaker 12: gone to the corporate facility at the speedway or nice 716 00:32:18,493 --> 00:32:21,733 Speaker 12: fishing trips and that kind of thing, down to a 717 00:32:21,853 --> 00:32:26,253 Speaker 12: barbecue and re garage. But I think I think you're right, 718 00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:29,093 Speaker 12: and it's just to say thanks to your crew at 719 00:32:29,133 --> 00:32:34,373 Speaker 12: the end of the year is really really important. But 720 00:32:35,013 --> 00:32:40,253 Speaker 12: it shouldn't be expected when it's expected. I don't agree 721 00:32:40,293 --> 00:32:40,493 Speaker 12: with that. 722 00:32:40,973 --> 00:32:43,533 Speaker 2: Well, I think as a as a society it's a 723 00:32:43,653 --> 00:32:46,613 Speaker 2: nice norm to have. But also if you're if you're 724 00:32:46,653 --> 00:32:48,453 Speaker 2: putting on the Christmas party, Craig, to say thank you 725 00:32:48,453 --> 00:32:49,893 Speaker 2: to workers, I hope they come up to you and 726 00:32:49,973 --> 00:32:52,213 Speaker 2: say thank you for the party and and thank you 727 00:32:52,333 --> 00:32:54,333 Speaker 2: for what you do as well. I think I think 728 00:32:54,373 --> 00:32:55,293 Speaker 2: it should go both ways. 729 00:32:56,133 --> 00:32:57,733 Speaker 12: I mean, there was one year I had a couple 730 00:32:57,773 --> 00:33:01,093 Speaker 12: of guys that really didn't the business and I wanted 731 00:33:01,133 --> 00:33:05,013 Speaker 12: them gone, and I was really torn, what do I do? 732 00:33:05,173 --> 00:33:08,253 Speaker 12: But I don't really want to bend a few hundred 733 00:33:10,333 --> 00:33:14,813 Speaker 12: for these couple of sticks and and so that year 734 00:33:14,893 --> 00:33:18,093 Speaker 12: I didn't have one.

You can have you know, February to November, 966 00:43:30,613 --> 00:43:33,613 Speaker 2: you keep the respect of your workmates, and then you 967 00:43:33,693 --> 00:43:36,293 Speaker 2: can go to a Christmas party get absolutely steamed to 968 00:43:36,333 --> 00:43:38,413 Speaker 2: make a fool of yourself and go into the holiday 969 00:43:38,493 --> 00:43:42,373 Speaker 2: break riddle with humiliation and ruin your holidays.

And the 974 00:43:51,733 --> 00:43:55,093 Speaker 2: pillars I came up with were non leadership, honesty, decent chat, 975 00:43:55,133 --> 00:43:56,333 Speaker 2: and not being a complete punishment. 976 00:43:56,773 --> 00:43:57,373 Speaker 3: Great pillars. 977 00:43:57,453 --> 00:44:00,693 Speaker 2: So non leadership is you don't want to be on 978 00:44:00,813 --> 00:44:02,893 Speaker 2: the table as people arrive. How if you do want 979 00:44:02,933 --> 00:44:04,453 Speaker 2: to be on the d floor at some point, so 980 00:44:05,093 --> 00:44:08,613 Speaker 2: time you run. You know what, there's all those people 981 00:44:08,613 --> 00:44:12,493 Speaker 2: that push the boat out early and they have pre drinks, 982 00:44:12,533 --> 00:44:15,493 Speaker 2: they take the charge. Those people will be what everyone's 983 00:44:15,533 --> 00:44:17,853 Speaker 2: talking about across the la. So you want to bide 984 00:44:17,853 --> 00:44:19,333 Speaker 2: your time. You want to look around and see where 985 00:44:19,333 --> 00:44:22,133 Speaker 2: everyone's at. Stay in the middle of the palaton. Then 986 00:44:22,173 --> 00:44:24,053 Speaker 2: when fifty percent of the party is out of control, 987 00:44:24,173 --> 00:44:26,973 Speaker 2: maybe pick up the pace, but stay in the middle 988 00:44:26,973 --> 00:44:29,733 Speaker 2: of the pack. Just always. You don't want to be 989 00:44:29,773 --> 00:44:31,772 Speaker 2: the one out in the front. This is well through, 990 00:44:31,933 --> 00:44:35,253 Speaker 2: well thought, through honesty. What we've got to remember across 991 00:44:35,333 --> 00:44:38,413 Speaker 2: life is booze makes us lie, yes, And maybe it's 992 00:44:38,453 --> 00:44:42,973 Speaker 2: the lower dimmibitions. I don't know. Maybe it's the status 993 00:44:43,053 --> 00:44:45,453 Speaker 2: gains you get by lying. Whatever it is. Lying in 994 00:44:45,493 --> 00:44:49,212 Speaker 2: the workplace is humiliating and dangerous, especially if you start 995 00:44:49,613 --> 00:44:53,253 Speaker 2: talking about your contract, lying about your contract, pretending to 996 00:44:53,333 --> 00:44:55,413 Speaker 2: be flashy than you are. That's a terrible idea. So 997 00:44:55,693 --> 00:44:58,213 Speaker 2: going into a Christmas party or any party or anything 998 00:44:58,333 --> 00:45:01,732 Speaker 2: really is don't tell lies, very lies, no honesty yep. 999 00:45:02,973 --> 00:45:09,413 Speaker 2: And so decent chat. Yes, you don't want to be 1000 00:45:10,013 --> 00:45:12,013 Speaker 2: pressing your boss up against the wall and telling him 1001 00:45:12,013 --> 00:45:15,293 Speaker 2: how to run his company deep into the day and 1002 00:45:15,413 --> 00:45:18,813 Speaker 2: you know what, you're walking around bitching about your other workmates. Yeah, 1003 00:45:18,853 --> 00:45:20,293 Speaker 2: so I think I think you have to go and say, 1004 00:45:20,333 --> 00:45:21,613 Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna have some decent chat and you 1005 00:45:21,813 --> 00:45:25,053 Speaker 2: need to you know, you don't want to be slagging 1006 00:45:25,093 --> 00:45:28,253 Speaker 2: people off the whole time and terrible shop chat as well. 1007 00:45:28,413 --> 00:45:30,413 Speaker 3: That's a massive danger, isn't it. When the booze starts 1008 00:45:30,493 --> 00:45:33,293 Speaker 3: flowing and there's some resentment that's been building up, the 1009 00:45:33,413 --> 00:45:34,773 Speaker 3: Christmas party is not just going for this. 1010 00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:38,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, just tell yourself, let's not have a resentful Christmas party. 1011 00:45:39,373 --> 00:45:40,773 Speaker 2: You don't want to be putting your boss into the 1012 00:45:40,813 --> 00:45:42,733 Speaker 2: corner with your half last drunken views on how the 1013 00:45:42,813 --> 00:45:45,333 Speaker 2: company should be run and repeating the same joke over 1014 00:45:45,333 --> 00:45:48,653 Speaker 2: and ever, going to other people's faces. So yeah, and 1015 00:45:48,933 --> 00:45:50,133 Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to not being a complete 1016 00:45:50,173 --> 00:45:52,053 Speaker 2: punish it every now and then ask yourself, am I 1017 00:45:52,333 --> 00:45:55,973 Speaker 2: punishing people here? Regularly going I'm being a massive punishing here? 1018 00:45:56,173 --> 00:45:56,373 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1019 00:45:56,493 --> 00:45:58,413 Speaker 2: And if you regularly ask yourself that and if the 1020 00:45:58,773 --> 00:46:01,853 Speaker 2: answer is yes, then maybe shut up and move on. 1021 00:46:03,333 --> 00:46:05,973 Speaker 3: I've done that many at a many Christmas week party. 1022 00:46:06,093 --> 00:46:08,773 Speaker 3: Is I know that my chat is absolutely punished and 1023 00:46:08,853 --> 00:46:10,692 Speaker 3: you're right, And then I'm sort of thinking here because 1024 00:46:10,693 --> 00:46:12,853 Speaker 3: everybody's bored or the roll in their eyes, and think 1025 00:46:12,973 --> 00:46:15,653 Speaker 3: I'm just going to leave and go join a different 1026 00:46:15,693 --> 00:46:17,413 Speaker 3: group or perhaps maybe it's time to go home. 1027 00:46:17,893 --> 00:46:22,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, So those are the basics ones. Those work for me. 1028 00:46:22,653 --> 00:46:26,652 Speaker 2: So non non leadership, honesty, decent chat and not being 1029 00:46:26,653 --> 00:46:28,013 Speaker 2: a complete punisher. And if you come out with that, 1030 00:46:28,133 --> 00:46:29,413 Speaker 2: then you can you'll have a good time. You can 1031 00:46:29,453 --> 00:46:31,053 Speaker 2: go into your Chrismas break feeling good about yourself. 1032 00:46:31,133 --> 00:46:31,373 Speaker 6: Love it. 1033 00:46:31,533 --> 00:46:33,973 Speaker 3: And that's what we're going to open up as well 1034 00:46:34,013 --> 00:46:36,853 Speaker 3: as the Christmas party chat about the public service set 1035 00:46:36,933 --> 00:46:39,652 Speaker 3: to being miserly. What are the dos and don'ts when 1036 00:46:39,653 --> 00:46:42,373 Speaker 3: it comes to your Christmas party, John, you're a long 1037 00:46:42,453 --> 00:46:45,212 Speaker 3: time public servant and you've never had a Christmas party. 1038 00:46:46,373 --> 00:46:48,893 Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I don't feel bad about that, trust of all. 1039 00:46:48,933 --> 00:46:51,373 Speaker 4: I think you've just given some great advice about what 1040 00:46:52,253 --> 00:46:53,733 Speaker 4: to do and what not to do when you're a 1041 00:46:53,813 --> 00:46:54,413 Speaker 4: Christmas party. 1042 00:46:54,613 --> 00:46:54,773 Speaker 20: Yeah. 1043 00:46:54,853 --> 00:46:57,133 Speaker 4: But I worked in the public service for twenty seven 1044 00:46:57,253 --> 00:47:02,013 Speaker 4: years and we would organize a modest little lunch a 1045 00:47:04,333 --> 00:47:06,613 Speaker 4: restaurant like the James Cook and something. I didn't have 1046 00:47:06,693 --> 00:47:09,053 Speaker 4: a really good time, but we didn't expect they out 1047 00:47:09,053 --> 00:47:12,133 Speaker 4: a paper. I think over the last few years there's 1048 00:47:12,173 --> 00:47:16,333 Speaker 4: been just too much of the expectation that everything that's 1049 00:47:16,373 --> 00:47:18,933 Speaker 4: done in the social line should be paidful by the 1050 00:47:19,013 --> 00:47:22,652 Speaker 4: tax and I just don't see it. Don't agree at all. 1051 00:47:23,773 --> 00:47:27,573 Speaker 4: People just need to toughen up and accept that at 1052 00:47:27,613 --> 00:47:31,293 Speaker 4: these times the text player shouldn't be paying for for 1053 00:47:31,373 --> 00:47:34,173 Speaker 4: a we party. If you can't be bothered paying for 1054 00:47:34,253 --> 00:47:35,652 Speaker 4: it yourself, you don't really want to be there. 1055 00:47:36,053 --> 00:47:38,692 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I agree generally, and there have been 1056 00:47:38,733 --> 00:47:41,453 Speaker 2: some ridiculous expenses that we've seen over the years, and 1057 00:47:41,573 --> 00:47:45,413 Speaker 2: celebrations that have been well publicized. But I think just 1058 00:47:45,813 --> 00:47:49,253 Speaker 2: in a department, we're not talking about much here. We're 1059 00:47:49,253 --> 00:47:51,172 Speaker 2: talking about a few beers and a pizza and people 1060 00:47:51,213 --> 00:47:53,853 Speaker 2: coming together. And just because you're in the public service 1061 00:47:54,333 --> 00:47:57,093 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you shouldn't be having a celebration at 1062 00:47:57,133 --> 00:47:59,013 Speaker 2: the end of the year. I mean, you know, I 1063 00:47:59,453 --> 00:48:02,293 Speaker 2: know a lot of them aren't working as hard as 1064 00:48:02,333 --> 00:48:04,172 Speaker 2: we want, but some of them are. Some of them 1065 00:48:04,213 --> 00:48:06,973 Speaker 2: do work reasonably hard, and I don't think in the 1066 00:48:07,093 --> 00:48:09,172 Speaker 2: end of the expenses at the tech that a little 1067 00:48:09,213 --> 00:48:10,613 Speaker 2: Christmas party at the end of the year is going 1068 00:48:10,693 --> 00:48:14,133 Speaker 2: to be. Is the big difference in in the inefficiencies 1069 00:48:14,293 --> 00:48:16,413 Speaker 2: and the waste of cash that that that that we 1070 00:48:16,533 --> 00:48:17,293 Speaker 2: hear about. 1071 00:48:18,733 --> 00:48:21,373 Speaker 4: John, Well, come come January there will be a whole 1072 00:48:21,453 --> 00:48:25,933 Speaker 4: string of official information at requests asking for detail of 1073 00:48:27,093 --> 00:48:29,053 Speaker 4: how much we've spent by every one of them, and 1074 00:48:29,093 --> 00:48:30,453 Speaker 4: new fellas will be on the other side. 1075 00:48:34,013 --> 00:48:36,053 Speaker 2: You're so right, John, that's the big irony of being 1076 00:48:36,133 --> 00:48:38,413 Speaker 2: in the media. So we're at both ends of it. 1077 00:48:38,533 --> 00:48:40,573 Speaker 2: So if there is an establishment, if there was a 1078 00:48:40,613 --> 00:48:43,653 Speaker 2: big Christmas party, we'd be the first people going disgusting. 1079 00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:50,893 Speaker 2: Thanks to call John, he loved the Four Pillars quick text. 1080 00:48:51,013 --> 00:48:51,172 Speaker 25: Here. 1081 00:48:51,773 --> 00:48:54,692 Speaker 3: My wife works in Auckland University as a team leader, 1082 00:48:54,773 --> 00:48:56,373 Speaker 3: and she asked if she could take five of the 1083 00:48:56,373 --> 00:48:59,173 Speaker 3: people she looks after out for morning tea for Christmas, 1084 00:48:59,213 --> 00:49:01,413 Speaker 3: and she was told no, it's not on the budget. 1085 00:49:01,493 --> 00:49:03,933 Speaker 3: So she dipped into her own pocket and shouted them, 1086 00:49:03,973 --> 00:49:07,173 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty bucks is what it costs. That 1087 00:49:07,533 --> 00:49:10,133 Speaker 3: is crap, I reckon, see. That is a good manager. 1088 00:49:10,613 --> 00:49:12,533 Speaker 3: The fact that they took it on themselves to look 1089 00:49:12,573 --> 00:49:15,212 Speaker 3: after their team members, five people, that's what it's about. 1090 00:49:15,253 --> 00:49:17,213 Speaker 3: You know, when it comes to management. If you are 1091 00:49:17,293 --> 00:49:19,813 Speaker 3: a manager in the public service and you've got five, six, 1092 00:49:19,933 --> 00:49:22,812 Speaker 3: seven people under you and say, hey, there's no money 1093 00:49:22,813 --> 00:49:24,293 Speaker 3: in the budget here, but I'm going to shot you 1094 00:49:24,373 --> 00:49:27,613 Speaker 3: because you're good workers and you've done right for this organization. 1095 00:49:27,853 --> 00:49:29,333 Speaker 3: But they should start at the top, shouldn't it. 1096 00:49:29,853 --> 00:49:32,213 Speaker 2: Look I agree, And that's what's going to happen on 1097 00:49:32,253 --> 00:49:34,973 Speaker 2: this show here, because I'm your boss, Tyler on the 1098 00:49:35,093 --> 00:49:39,533 Speaker 2: show Tyler Show.

We're talking about Christmas parties in 1111 00:50:09,653 --> 00:50:12,453 Speaker 3: New Zealand.

Absolutely, the Christmas parties are terrible in the public sector. 1114 00:50:18,653 --> 00:50:20,733 Speaker 2: And there's not a lot of sympathy for the public sector. 1115 00:50:20,773 --> 00:50:24,293 Speaker 2: It's the sector public.

They are good for the soul of the 1693 01:17:14,812 --> 01:17:18,052 Speaker 2: company and the nation. And when things go, they're gone 1694 01:17:18,173 --> 01:17:20,852 Speaker 2: for good. If you can't do one because you can't 1695 01:17:20,893 --> 01:17:22,852 Speaker 2: afford it, I hope you can do one in the future. 1696 01:17:23,333 --> 01:17:25,532 Speaker 2: So look, let's not hassle people who have good ones. 1697 01:17:25,612 --> 01:17:28,053 Speaker 2: Let's drop the envy and the judgment that includes us 1698 01:17:28,133 --> 01:17:31,133 Speaker 2: in the media.

You can have higher temperatures in christ Church, 1758 01:20:25,652 --> 01:20:29,293 Speaker 2: but the humidity up here in Auckland is quite something 1759 01:20:29,293 --> 01:20:30,892 Speaker 2: as and I remember when I moved up from Dunedin 1760 01:20:30,973 --> 01:20:33,333 Speaker 2: it was it was quite punishing and it's quite hard 1761 01:20:33,412 --> 01:20:35,333 Speaker 2: to deal with. Has your house got a heat pump? 1762 01:20:35,732 --> 01:20:38,812 Speaker 3: It does downstairs, but it doesn't upstairs right And because 1763 01:20:38,853 --> 01:20:42,452 Speaker 3: it's a rental, yes, we could look to pay five 1764 01:20:42,612 --> 01:20:45,613 Speaker 3: six seven thousand dollars to get a heat pump installed upstairs, 1765 01:20:45,732 --> 01:20:48,293 Speaker 3: but that is going to be of limited benefit to us, 1766 01:20:48,612 --> 01:20:50,253 Speaker 3: a lot of benefit to our landlord. 1767 01:20:50,652 --> 01:20:52,572 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, I mean you're not going to do that. 1768 01:20:52,692 --> 01:20:54,532 Speaker 2: A You've got to install something that you can't take 1769 01:20:54,572 --> 01:20:56,053 Speaker 2: with you. And I don't know if he'd want you 1770 01:20:56,133 --> 01:20:59,532 Speaker 2: to smash holes in the wall and attach, but it's 1771 01:20:59,652 --> 01:21:00,612 Speaker 2: the outside of the building. 1772 01:21:00,893 --> 01:21:02,772 Speaker 3: Not Now that I've mentioned it on the radio, he 1773 01:21:02,812 --> 01:21:05,732 Speaker 3: probably won't. But it's a genuine problem that I've tried 1774 01:21:05,853 --> 01:21:08,253 Speaker 3: a lot of the basic measures that open up, open 1775 01:21:08,492 --> 01:21:10,412 Speaker 3: up all the windows and the top floor to try 1776 01:21:10,412 --> 01:21:12,892 Speaker 3: and get some airflow through hasn't been working. Got an 1777 01:21:12,933 --> 01:21:15,692 Speaker 3: extractor fan in the bathrooms upstairs, leave that on all day, 1778 01:21:15,853 --> 01:21:19,692 Speaker 3: doesn't do anything. Tried the old fan tricks, nothing seems 1779 01:21:19,732 --> 01:21:21,852 Speaker 3: to work. And did a deep dive into these portable 1780 01:21:22,053 --> 01:21:25,572 Speaker 3: air con units. So these are ones that primarily you 1781 01:21:25,772 --> 01:21:27,972 Speaker 3: you've got the weed tube that goes out the window, 1782 01:21:28,333 --> 01:21:32,253 Speaker 3: but unless your window is ear tight, they don't work. Yeah, 1783 01:21:32,492 --> 01:21:35,652 Speaker 3: they do.

So you want some help. 1805 01:22:18,333 --> 01:22:20,612 Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you particularly if you've gone these portable 1806 01:22:20,652 --> 01:22:23,572 Speaker 3: ear conditioning units, because they're not cheap. I'll just say 1807 01:22:23,692 --> 01:22:25,452 Speaker 3: for the good ones that I looked at, they're around 1808 01:22:25,452 --> 01:22:27,772 Speaker 3: about fifteen hundred bucks. Yes, that's a lot of money 1809 01:22:27,812 --> 01:22:29,492 Speaker 3: to pay. And if it's not going to do the 1810 01:22:29,612 --> 01:22:31,213 Speaker 3: job that I want it to do, then that's money 1811 01:22:31,293 --> 01:22:31,812 Speaker 3: down the drain. 1812 01:22:31,973 --> 01:22:34,093 Speaker 2: Can you get like five oscillating fans? Going? 1813 01:22:34,652 --> 01:22:34,772 Speaker 4: Oh? 1814 01:22:34,812 --> 01:22:35,253 Speaker 3: Good question? 1815 01:22:35,612 --> 01:22:38,372 Speaker 2: How many oscillating fans would would make the way? You've 1816 01:22:38,412 --> 01:22:39,173 Speaker 2: tried a fan up there? 1817 01:22:39,213 --> 01:22:41,293 Speaker 3: Have you tried a fan? But I will be honest, 1818 01:22:41,333 --> 01:22:43,053 Speaker 3: it was a kmart fan and nothing wrong with the 1819 01:22:43,093 --> 01:22:45,772 Speaker 3: kmart fan. What I did look at is one of 1820 01:22:45,812 --> 01:22:47,932 Speaker 3: those diceon fans and they look good and they call 1821 01:22:48,013 --> 01:22:50,452 Speaker 3: it a cooling fan. But is that just marketing? Can 1822 01:22:50,492 --> 01:22:52,772 Speaker 3: a fan really there's no AC unit in it? 1823 01:22:52,853 --> 01:22:55,412 Speaker 2: Well, well, a fan just works because more ears moving 1824 01:22:55,452 --> 01:22:57,772 Speaker 2: past your skin, so more heat leaves your skin. That's 1825 01:22:57,772 --> 01:22:59,692 Speaker 2: how a fan works. But the ear moving around it 1826 01:22:59,933 --> 01:23:01,772 Speaker 2: in the room, but the guts to a point where 1827 01:23:01,812 --> 01:23:05,412 Speaker 2: it's just blowing hot ear past you.

I mean, 1831 01:23:12,213 --> 01:23:15,772 Speaker 2: you're you're not, you're not. There's no duvets in Auckland 1832 01:23:16,853 --> 01:23:19,892 Speaker 2: in February.

Is not something that you could do. So 2004 01:31:22,933 --> 01:31:25,053 Speaker 2: you've got to have the extract, you've got to have 2005 01:31:25,133 --> 01:31:27,372 Speaker 2: the pipe going out the window. Right, yep, correct, as 2006 01:31:27,492 --> 01:31:30,812 Speaker 2: there's not something that you could do just temporary. Make 2007 01:31:30,893 --> 01:31:33,093 Speaker 2: a seal that's going to make it work. Could you not? 2008 01:31:33,652 --> 01:31:37,172 Speaker 2: I don't know, Get some I don't know, some plastic 2009 01:31:37,293 --> 01:31:39,492 Speaker 2: and then and some gaffer and make the seal. 2010 01:31:39,732 --> 01:31:41,452 Speaker 3: It's got to be super ear tight. But it's good 2011 01:31:41,492 --> 01:31:43,293 Speaker 3: that you mentioned that. And that's why I'm a bit 2012 01:31:43,412 --> 01:31:45,772 Speaker 3: lost about these portable air con units. As we've got 2013 01:31:45,812 --> 01:31:48,893 Speaker 3: the swing windows. Most of them are designed for the 2014 01:31:48,973 --> 01:31:51,452 Speaker 3: slide windows, so they've got the wee plastic that comes 2015 01:31:51,452 --> 01:31:53,652 Speaker 3: with it you put into the slide window. The seals 2016 01:31:53,692 --> 01:31:56,253 Speaker 3: are good. You can get these little tent things that 2017 01:31:56,333 --> 01:31:58,133 Speaker 3: goes on the swing windows, but from what I've read, 2018 01:31:58,293 --> 01:32:00,812 Speaker 3: they don't do the job. So it's useless. Fifteen hundred 2019 01:32:00,853 --> 01:32:02,732 Speaker 3: bucks for just more hot air coming into your room. 2020 01:32:02,772 --> 01:32:04,253 Speaker 2: That's not what I want to do, right. 2021 01:32:04,732 --> 01:32:07,812 Speaker 3: One hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 2022 01:32:08,053 --> 01:32:10,333 Speaker 3: Aparently this is a real issue. This text has said 2023 01:32:10,452 --> 01:32:13,452 Speaker 3: in these three story homes with thirty centimeters of ruth 2024 01:32:13,652 --> 01:32:16,572 Speaker 3: insulation that have been whacked up in Auckland. Worse since 2025 01:32:16,612 --> 01:32:18,572 Speaker 3: the windows have catches that will limit their opening. 2026 01:32:18,692 --> 01:32:20,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I live in the three three story house. 2027 01:32:20,412 --> 01:32:22,053 Speaker 2: And the way I've solved the problems by putting my 2028 01:32:22,173 --> 01:32:25,812 Speaker 2: kids on the top floor and so they're basically in 2029 01:32:25,893 --> 01:32:28,652 Speaker 2: a sauna and me on the bottom floor in my room. Boy, 2030 01:32:28,772 --> 01:32:29,732 Speaker 2: we are cool down there. 2031 01:32:30,013 --> 01:32:30,612 Speaker 3: That'll teach them. 2032 01:32:30,652 --> 01:32:31,452 Speaker 2: It looks like a chimney. 2033 01:32:31,853 --> 01:32:33,253 Speaker 3: It's twenty two past three. 2034 01:32:38,053 --> 01:32:41,412 Speaker 1: Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons, call oh eight hundred 2035 01:32:41,412 --> 01:32:44,133 Speaker 1: and eighty ten eighty on news talk Savy it. 2036 01:32:44,293 --> 01:32:47,372 Speaker 3: Is twenty four past three. How do I cool down 2037 01:32:47,652 --> 01:32:51,293 Speaker 3: the second story of our rental without installing a fancy 2038 01:32:51,412 --> 01:32:53,772 Speaker 3: air on heat put because we don't know in the place. Grant, 2039 01:32:53,812 --> 01:32:54,133 Speaker 3: how are you? 2040 01:32:55,532 --> 01:32:56,013 Speaker 20: Oh im good? 2041 01:32:56,053 --> 01:32:56,333 Speaker 23: Thanks? 2042 01:32:56,333 --> 01:32:57,093 Speaker 22: How are you good? 2043 01:32:57,293 --> 01:32:58,412 Speaker 3: Have you got a solution? 2044 01:32:59,452 --> 01:32:59,572 Speaker 17: Hey? 2045 01:32:59,652 --> 01:33:00,213 Speaker 16: Look, I do. 2046 01:33:00,412 --> 01:33:03,173 Speaker 10: And it's a bit of a one that people would 2047 01:33:03,173 --> 01:33:06,532 Speaker 10: think is a bit contradictory. But see what peewees tend 2048 01:33:06,652 --> 01:33:10,052 Speaker 10: to do is when it's really hot, outside, they send 2049 01:33:10,133 --> 01:33:12,133 Speaker 10: to open all the windows and they let all that 2050 01:33:12,293 --> 01:33:16,293 Speaker 10: hot air in, And the problem is with that is 2051 01:33:17,572 --> 01:33:20,652 Speaker 10: you're actually taking any cooler that is in the house away. 2052 01:33:20,812 --> 01:33:23,293 Speaker 10: So the kick to it is ventilation. But you want 2053 01:33:23,333 --> 01:33:26,492 Speaker 10: to open a window that's very very high and then 2054 01:33:27,133 --> 01:33:30,692 Speaker 10: keep the bottom field and so only the heightier lead 2055 01:33:31,013 --> 01:33:35,013 Speaker 10: and the stored coolness in their house stays there. But 2056 01:33:35,053 --> 01:33:38,173 Speaker 10: if you open a window at the very lower level, 2057 01:33:38,812 --> 01:33:41,892 Speaker 10: you're sucking that twenty eight to twenty nine degree air 2058 01:33:42,213 --> 01:33:44,412 Speaker 10: through your house and it makes the whole thing very warm. 2059 01:33:45,372 --> 01:33:49,892 Speaker 2: So you're saying, so you're on the second story, aren't you, Tyler? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 2060 01:33:50,093 --> 01:33:51,933 Speaker 2: So you're saying that the highest you can open a 2061 01:33:52,013 --> 01:33:53,652 Speaker 2: window on the second story, you're in a bit of 2062 01:33:53,652 --> 01:33:56,932 Speaker 2: a chimney situation. Hotti arises, that'll go out the top window. 2063 01:33:56,973 --> 01:33:59,532 Speaker 2: At what windows are your leaving? What windows are your opening, Tyler? 2064 01:33:59,652 --> 01:34:02,293 Speaker 3: All of them? All of them, the top, top floor, 2065 01:34:02,372 --> 01:34:04,333 Speaker 3: bottom floor. No, that's what I'm doing wrong here. 2066 01:34:05,053 --> 01:34:05,253 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2067 01:34:05,452 --> 01:34:08,892 Speaker 10: So if you have all the lower level window shut, 2068 01:34:09,732 --> 01:34:13,133 Speaker 10: then the warm out sady is not coming in through there, 2069 01:34:13,253 --> 01:34:16,812 Speaker 10: and it keeps that downs cold. But it also keeps 2070 01:34:16,893 --> 01:34:20,213 Speaker 10: the top cold because only the hottest air is going 2071 01:34:20,293 --> 01:34:24,253 Speaker 10: out and the air that's in the. 2072 01:34:25,812 --> 01:34:26,293 Speaker 4: Is coming in. 2073 01:34:26,412 --> 01:34:28,973 Speaker 10: It's coming into the top as well, so it's just 2074 01:34:29,173 --> 01:34:31,572 Speaker 10: circulating around that top. That taking the hot air out 2075 01:34:31,612 --> 01:34:32,572 Speaker 10: and leaving the rest of. 2076 01:34:32,572 --> 01:34:34,452 Speaker 3: The house cold has some good physics. Do you know 2077 01:34:34,612 --> 01:34:36,213 Speaker 3: much about DVS systems? Grunt? 2078 01:34:37,933 --> 01:34:38,932 Speaker 6: Well, I do know a little bit. 2079 01:34:39,013 --> 01:34:40,892 Speaker 10: I think they're absolutely fast. 2080 01:34:40,973 --> 01:34:43,372 Speaker 3: But okay, right, because it's got a DV system, but 2081 01:34:43,452 --> 01:34:46,013 Speaker 3: I can't figure out whether that's actually pumping cold air 2082 01:34:46,053 --> 01:34:48,852 Speaker 3: from the lounge hut after the story, or it's taken 2083 01:34:48,933 --> 01:34:50,692 Speaker 3: hot air from the roof and just pumping into everywhere. 2084 01:34:51,452 --> 01:34:56,213 Speaker 10: You don't be doing that at all, right, Yeah, there's 2085 01:34:56,253 --> 01:34:58,253 Speaker 10: another key aspect to it. And we we have a 2086 01:34:58,412 --> 01:35:02,772 Speaker 10: deubmidifier that we run in winter and in summer. It 2087 01:35:02,973 --> 01:35:06,253 Speaker 10: costs about four cents an hour and I put it 2088 01:35:06,333 --> 01:35:08,293 Speaker 10: on when it's raining and it makes a big diff 2089 01:35:08,572 --> 01:35:11,812 Speaker 10: for how the house feels. But in summers takes the 2090 01:35:11,853 --> 01:35:13,412 Speaker 10: moistu out of the air and cools you down, and 2091 01:35:13,492 --> 01:35:15,372 Speaker 10: then winter it actually warms the room up for like 2092 01:35:15,532 --> 01:35:20,452 Speaker 10: one degree practically free. So that's another thing to look at. 2093 01:35:20,532 --> 01:35:22,452 Speaker 10: So if you do them to buy your house, it 2094 01:35:22,652 --> 01:35:23,492 Speaker 10: just feels cooler. 2095 01:35:24,173 --> 01:35:26,333 Speaker 3: All right, these are good tips.

Said, and I'm going to go duck 2429 01:50:09,372 --> 01:50:10,372 Speaker 3: then runs up the stairs. 2430 01:50:11,293 --> 01:50:12,692 Speaker 2: You could attach up to the wall and give it 2431 01:50:12,893 --> 01:50:14,452 Speaker 2: a sort of a nice path to get a bit 2432 01:50:14,492 --> 01:50:16,852 Speaker 2: more so it's not up actually running up the stairs. 2433 01:50:17,973 --> 01:50:22,892 Speaker 31: But what you're effectively doing is operating an HIV system 2434 01:50:23,053 --> 01:50:26,253 Speaker 31: in reverse. Because an HIV system takes all the hot 2435 01:50:26,372 --> 01:50:29,612 Speaker 31: air from your roof space and blows it down into 2436 01:50:29,652 --> 01:50:34,173 Speaker 31: your lounge, bedrooms wherever. So obviously you can't turn that 2437 01:50:34,293 --> 01:50:38,092 Speaker 31: and make it go backwards. So this effectively is applying 2438 01:50:38,173 --> 01:50:42,813 Speaker 31: that same theory, but the other way around, transported around 2439 01:50:42,853 --> 01:50:44,372 Speaker 31: the house. You're going to transport coolier. 2440 01:50:44,652 --> 01:50:46,253 Speaker 2: You've got to just do it to see if You've 2441 01:50:46,293 --> 01:50:47,492 Speaker 2: just got to do it to see if it works. 2442 01:50:47,532 --> 01:50:49,213 Speaker 2: That's what You've got to try it out, even if 2443 01:50:49,213 --> 01:50:50,812 Speaker 2: it's not the permanent solution. I want to see you 2444 01:50:50,893 --> 01:50:51,053 Speaker 2: do that. 2445 01:50:51,213 --> 01:50:53,333 Speaker 3: This is going to be one hundred dollars. Well hopefully. 2446 01:50:53,372 --> 01:50:54,372 Speaker 3: Well you'll feel. 2447 01:50:54,173 --> 01:50:55,772 Speaker 2: Cool if you do that, if you put that together, 2448 01:50:55,812 --> 01:50:58,692 Speaker 2: because I know you're useless, and that's about I think 2449 01:50:58,772 --> 01:51:01,092 Speaker 2: that's within your range of abilities, Tyler. 2450 01:51:02,572 --> 01:51:04,612 Speaker 31: But the thing is you know that you know that 2451 01:51:04,692 --> 01:51:07,812 Speaker 31: it works because pot are goes from one room to another, 2452 01:51:07,933 --> 01:51:09,852 Speaker 31: so the fact that it's cold here. 2453 01:51:09,812 --> 01:51:10,572 Speaker 4: Makes no difference. 2454 01:51:10,612 --> 01:51:12,612 Speaker 31: All Right, I'm going to make make sure that the 2455 01:51:12,692 --> 01:51:13,293 Speaker 31: seal is good. 2456 01:51:13,612 --> 01:51:15,213 Speaker 3: Right, I'm going to make a promise to both both 2457 01:51:15,253 --> 01:51:16,932 Speaker 3: of you guys that I'm going to do it this weekend. 2458 01:51:17,293 --> 01:51:19,852 Speaker 2: Than what you do now you're moving yourself down there 2459 01:51:19,893 --> 01:51:21,612 Speaker 2: and sleeping in the lounge under the heat pump on 2460 01:51:21,652 --> 01:51:24,412 Speaker 2: your mattress. That's the confidence I needed though that what 2461 01:51:24,973 --> 01:51:26,972 Speaker 2: Colins is just thing is you just move the ear upstairs. 2462 01:51:29,053 --> 01:51:30,973 Speaker 31: Yeah, I mean, think of it along the lines of 2463 01:51:31,293 --> 01:51:33,412 Speaker 31: putting a straw in your mouth and just blowing on 2464 01:51:33,492 --> 01:51:35,532 Speaker 31: the straw. The ear's got to come out at the end, 2465 01:51:35,532 --> 01:51:37,452 Speaker 31: doesn't it, as long as it's a seal. So the 2466 01:51:37,532 --> 01:51:39,372 Speaker 31: cool there. The key who it is is turn the 2467 01:51:39,452 --> 01:51:41,572 Speaker 31: heat pump, turn the ecorn on when you get home 2468 01:51:41,652 --> 01:51:43,692 Speaker 31: to cool the room down, and then when you go 2469 01:51:43,812 --> 01:51:46,213 Speaker 31: to bed. You don't need to have the heat the 2470 01:51:46,492 --> 01:51:49,133 Speaker 31: cooling going at full noise because you've only got cold 2471 01:51:49,173 --> 01:51:51,333 Speaker 31: air in the room. So you can save a little 2472 01:51:51,372 --> 01:51:53,173 Speaker 31: bit of money by not running the heat pump full 2473 01:51:53,253 --> 01:51:54,412 Speaker 31: noise throughout the entire night. 2474 01:51:54,612 --> 01:51:57,933 Speaker 2: Genius, Well done, Colin. And this other solution suggestion is 2475 01:51:57,973 --> 01:51:59,612 Speaker 2: have a cold shower before you get into bed. Don't 2476 01:51:59,652 --> 01:52:01,572 Speaker 2: draw your front there you go and lie on your back. 2477 01:52:01,853 --> 01:52:04,053 Speaker 3: Why don't try the front because. 2478 01:52:05,692 --> 01:52:07,372 Speaker 2: So what evaporates off you? 2479 01:52:07,492 --> 01:52:07,812 Speaker 5: All right? 2480 01:52:08,372 --> 01:52:09,092 Speaker 3: Are on the downstairs? 2481 01:52:09,692 --> 01:52:10,492 Speaker 2: Have you been helped there? 2482 01:52:10,652 --> 01:52:10,852 Speaker 4: Yeah? 2483 01:52:10,893 --> 01:52:12,492 Speaker 3: I think so. Well I am going to do that 2484 01:52:12,612 --> 01:52:14,412 Speaker 3: set up. I'm going to go get some ducting and 2485 01:52:14,532 --> 01:52:17,732 Speaker 3: some desk fans and I'll have evidence that I've given 2486 01:52:17,732 --> 01:52:18,173 Speaker 3: it a crack. 2487 01:52:18,452 --> 01:52:18,652 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2488 01:52:18,692 --> 01:52:20,253 Speaker 2: Well, up next we're going to put that to bed. 2489 01:52:20,333 --> 01:52:22,652 Speaker 2: And up next we've got Jason Hoyt from the Big 2490 01:52:22,732 --> 01:52:25,732 Speaker 2: Show on Hodaki and the Alternative Commentary Collective to preview 2491 01:52:25,772 --> 01:52:27,333 Speaker 2: the cricket tomorrow at the Base in Reserve. 2492 01:52:27,612 --> 01:52:28,932 Speaker 3: It is eleven to four. 2493 01:52:30,572 --> 01:52:33,973 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 2494 01:52:34,293 --> 01:52:38,013 Speaker 1: everything in between.

Are 2502 01:52:54,692 --> 01:52:56,012 Speaker 2: you happy with that it? Do you think they should 2503 01:52:56,013 --> 01:52:57,612 Speaker 2: have thrown old Mitchell Satner in there? 2504 01:52:57,692 --> 01:52:57,812 Speaker 10: Oh? 2505 01:52:57,933 --> 01:53:00,652 Speaker 2: Look, I wasn't too unhappy with that. There was some chat. 2506 01:53:00,772 --> 01:53:03,812 Speaker 32: I think that Santa was going to come in for Smith, 2507 01:53:04,253 --> 01:53:07,652 Speaker 32: who made his debut of and that that first Test match, 2508 01:53:07,893 --> 01:53:09,652 Speaker 32: and I like the cut of his Jeb Fellers. To 2509 01:53:09,732 --> 01:53:11,253 Speaker 32: be honest with you, I think he's got quite a 2510 01:53:11,333 --> 01:53:13,852 Speaker 32: lot to offer. So I wasn't too state with that. 2511 01:53:14,013 --> 01:53:16,572 Speaker 32: But you know, it's interesting because we're in this bit 2512 01:53:16,612 --> 01:53:19,013 Speaker 32: of a conundrum really with us New Zealand side. So 2513 01:53:19,213 --> 01:53:22,333 Speaker 32: many of our players, you know, struggling for form with 2514 01:53:22,412 --> 01:53:25,293 Speaker 32: the bats, and we just don't seem to have the replacement, 2515 01:53:25,412 --> 01:53:28,333 Speaker 32: so they're sticking with the tried and true aka Gary 2516 01:53:28,412 --> 01:53:29,972 Speaker 32: Stead just not rocking the boat. 2517 01:53:30,293 --> 01:53:31,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what have we got. 2518 01:53:31,293 --> 01:53:33,812 Speaker 2: We've got a classic basin reserve green seama health, of. 2519 01:53:33,812 --> 01:53:34,492 Speaker 3: Course, I think so. 2520 01:53:35,053 --> 01:53:38,372 Speaker 32: Yeah, it's always green generally speaking. Whoever wins the toss 2521 01:53:38,452 --> 01:53:39,652 Speaker 32: wins the test match. 2522 01:53:40,173 --> 01:53:40,333 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2523 01:53:40,412 --> 01:53:43,612 Speaker 3: Absolutely, Obviously we lost badly in the first Test, Jason, 2524 01:53:43,652 --> 01:53:46,412 Speaker 3: but considering we dropped so many catches of the team's 2525 01:53:46,452 --> 01:53:48,892 Speaker 3: actually a lot closer than the results suggested. 2526 01:53:49,293 --> 01:53:51,412 Speaker 32: Well, that's a really interesting point. And we were talking 2527 01:53:51,452 --> 01:53:55,053 Speaker 32: about this on the BYC podcast yesterday. You know, people going, oh, 2528 01:53:55,253 --> 01:53:57,333 Speaker 32: if we didn't drop eight catches, it would have been 2529 01:53:57,372 --> 01:53:58,892 Speaker 32: a really close Test match. 2530 01:53:58,933 --> 01:54:01,372 Speaker 2: And it's like, but the point is we did drop 2531 01:54:01,532 --> 01:54:03,293 Speaker 2: eight catches, you know what I mean. 2532 01:54:03,412 --> 01:54:06,132 Speaker 32: So you can't say, off, we didn't pay that terribly 2533 01:54:06,173 --> 01:54:08,213 Speaker 32: in that aspect of the game that we could have won, 2534 01:54:08,853 --> 01:54:09,372 Speaker 32: you know what I mean. 2535 01:54:09,532 --> 01:54:10,972 Speaker 2: But how do you stop dropping catches? 2536 01:54:11,772 --> 01:54:14,293 Speaker 32: It's like I was talking about it yesterday, It's like 2537 01:54:14,333 --> 01:54:15,972 Speaker 32: a virus. That infects the side. 2538 01:54:16,053 --> 01:54:16,173 Speaker 17: You know. 2539 01:54:16,253 --> 01:54:19,612 Speaker 32: It's like a collective case of the yips where someone start, 2540 01:54:19,732 --> 01:54:21,213 Speaker 32: you know, someone will drop a catch and then the 2541 01:54:21,253 --> 01:54:23,253 Speaker 32: whole team starts doing it, you know. 2542 01:54:23,333 --> 01:54:25,412 Speaker 2: And there was a lot of expectations after. 2543 01:54:25,293 --> 01:54:28,572 Speaker 32: That phenomenal series in India, which no one in their 2544 01:54:28,732 --> 01:54:30,412 Speaker 32: right mind would ever have predicted. 2545 01:54:31,213 --> 01:54:32,772 Speaker 2: We were thinking, so where are we at? 2546 01:54:32,933 --> 01:54:36,293 Speaker 32: You know, and sadly it was a massively disappointing Test 2547 01:54:36,373 --> 01:54:39,093 Speaker 32: match for us, and I feel like we're back in that. 2548 01:54:39,213 --> 01:54:42,533 Speaker 2: Place where we were before the India series. So what's 2549 01:54:42,573 --> 01:54:43,012 Speaker 2: your prediction? 2550 01:54:44,893 --> 01:54:48,293 Speaker 32: Look, I have to say this, my heart says the kiwis, 2551 01:54:48,333 --> 01:54:50,173 Speaker 32: of course, but I just think that England had the 2552 01:54:50,213 --> 01:54:52,373 Speaker 32: wood on us. We went over there, of course a 2553 01:54:52,413 --> 01:54:55,053 Speaker 32: few years back. We were competitive in every Test, but 2554 01:54:55,173 --> 01:54:58,293 Speaker 32: we lost them all. They sort of did the job 2555 01:54:58,373 --> 01:55:00,213 Speaker 32: on us when they came over here last time, apart 2556 01:55:00,253 --> 01:55:03,053 Speaker 32: from that last match that we stole at the very 2557 01:55:03,133 --> 01:55:06,373 Speaker 32: last minute. Look, I favored the English, but I also 2558 01:55:06,533 --> 01:55:09,253 Speaker 32: have high expectations that the boys will bounce back. 2559 01:55:09,653 --> 01:55:11,812 Speaker 2: And how do you feel about the whole Bears McCullum factor. 2560 01:55:12,253 --> 01:55:14,453 Speaker 2: It feels weird, It feels weird. He's sort of hiding 2561 01:55:14,453 --> 01:55:16,092 Speaker 2: in the background. You're not seeing him on the cameras, 2562 01:55:16,133 --> 01:55:20,293 Speaker 2: but the confidence of Bears McCallum's right through that team, 2563 01:55:20,333 --> 01:55:22,133 Speaker 2: which I hate because I love Bears and I wish 2564 01:55:22,173 --> 01:55:22,892 Speaker 2: he was on our side. 2565 01:55:22,973 --> 01:55:26,133 Speaker 32: Oh look, Bears is a legend, and I don't know 2566 01:55:26,213 --> 01:55:28,973 Speaker 32: that I've ever forgiven him for you know, turning against us, 2567 01:55:28,973 --> 01:55:30,812 Speaker 32: because he'll be giving them all the intel, you know 2568 01:55:30,893 --> 01:55:33,693 Speaker 32: what I mean. That's pretty filthy as far as I'm concerned. 2569 01:55:34,253 --> 01:55:36,213 Speaker 2: Hopefully he's pumping him full of red wine as well. 2570 01:55:36,333 --> 01:55:39,213 Speaker 2: We had a few darries maybe yeah, or I thank 2571 01:55:39,253 --> 01:55:41,133 Speaker 2: you so much.
