Speaker 3: Hello, James, Simon and Kotakoto. Everyone.

7
00:00:27,053 --> 00:00:29,733
Speaker 2: Actually, nice to have you with us. One of our

8
00:00:29,853 --> 00:00:32,933
Speaker 2: daughters had a gender reveal party on Sunday.

9
00:00:33,253 --> 00:00:38,573
Speaker 3: Not for herself, right, was it for you? There's the

10
00:00:38,613 --> 00:00:41,213
Speaker 3: difference between you and me. You had a gender reveal

11
00:00:41,293 --> 00:00:44,293
Speaker 3: party over the weekend. I had a stag party, that's right.

12
00:00:44,373 --> 00:00:47,373
Speaker 3: So well, anyway, how did the gender reveal party go?

13
00:00:47,453 --> 00:00:47,613
Speaker 4: Well?

14
00:00:47,613 --> 00:00:47,973
Speaker 3: Haven't it?

15
00:00:48,093 --> 00:00:50,173
Speaker 2: You know? Like it was something that when I and

16
00:00:50,293 --> 00:00:52,133
Speaker 2: Jody and I were having kids, it wasn't really around,

17
00:00:52,133 --> 00:00:54,293
Speaker 2: but it's a real big thing now. Yeah, this was

18
00:00:54,373 --> 00:00:56,613
Speaker 2: very low key, but they but she did it really well.

19
00:00:56,613 --> 00:00:58,573
Speaker 2: We all lined up on the couch. That is the family,

20
00:00:58,613 --> 00:01:01,293
Speaker 2: her sisters. It was just her sisters and myself and

21
00:01:01,373 --> 00:01:04,493
Speaker 2: the husband's wanner. We sat on the couch. Cody stood

22
00:01:04,533 --> 00:01:07,053
Speaker 2: that's the husband. He stood behind us and holding up

23
00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:09,293
Speaker 2: a sign saying boy or girl. And now we were

24
00:01:09,333 --> 00:01:11,693
Speaker 2: facing away from him, so none of us out of

25
00:01:11,773 --> 00:01:14,973
Speaker 2: these were to him. And then Sophie. It was really

26
00:01:15,013 --> 00:01:17,013
Speaker 2: simple but kind of a cool thing because we were

27
00:01:17,013 --> 00:01:20,053
Speaker 2: all really excited. Sophie took a polaroid. Do you know

28
00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:24,813
Speaker 2: the polaroid cameras. They're they're very popular, but super old school.

29
00:01:24,973 --> 00:01:26,573
Speaker 2: Just like the old school, you push the button down,

30
00:01:26,653 --> 00:01:28,373
Speaker 2: the wee piece of paper comes out at the bottom

31
00:01:28,733 --> 00:01:31,133
Speaker 2: and then gradually developed some front of your eyes. Oh,

32
00:01:31,613 --> 00:01:33,173
Speaker 2: so we all had to look at the photo. It

33
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:36,133
Speaker 2: was genuinely a reveal. It was a reveal, So this

34
00:01:36,253 --> 00:01:40,053
Speaker 2: is exactly literally, so we watched this picture emerge on

35
00:01:40,093 --> 00:01:43,013
Speaker 2: the paper and then resolve. Yeah, and we saw Cody

36
00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:45,093
Speaker 2: standing out and she's having a wee girl. Two girls

37
00:01:45,653 --> 00:01:47,893
Speaker 2: were yeah, so very exciting. So that was what I did.

38
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:49,093
Speaker 2: And how was your stag doo?

39
00:01:49,653 --> 00:01:53,453
Speaker 3: You're long, lott and winded and I gut stood out,

40
00:01:53,573 --> 00:01:55,453
Speaker 3: did you It was a twelve hour stag doo?

41
00:01:56,013 --> 00:01:58,613
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what shape were you in?

42
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:01,973
Speaker 3: Actually my wife was very surprised. I was quite coherent

43
00:02:02,053 --> 00:02:05,333
Speaker 3: and yeah, no, I was in good neck. I did

44
00:02:05,373 --> 00:02:09,173
Speaker 3: pace myself and food through the day and twelve ours.

45
00:02:09,573 --> 00:02:13,653
Speaker 2: That's a good nuts, James, it was that's a great knock,

46
00:02:13,733 --> 00:02:17,093
Speaker 2: well played, mate, been a big weekend, good stuff. And

47
00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:18,493
Speaker 2: the warriors were great, weren't they.

48
00:02:18,613 --> 00:02:20,453
Speaker 3: Oh Man, just talks to me about that.

49
00:02:21,173 --> 00:02:24,933
Speaker 1: The highlight reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels News

50
00:02:24,973 --> 00:02:25,733
Speaker 1: Talk said.

51
00:02:25,493 --> 00:02:28,933
Speaker 2: Be most people have seen, either on the news or online,

52
00:02:28,933 --> 00:02:33,413
Speaker 2: the shocking CCTV footage where three masked offenders attacked the

53
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:36,333
Speaker 2: jewelry store and Papa Toy Toy, the owner of the store,

54
00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:38,973
Speaker 2: was hitting the head with a hammer, his skull has

55
00:02:39,013 --> 00:02:41,853
Speaker 2: been fractured, and one of his family members comes out

56
00:02:41,853 --> 00:02:44,773
Speaker 2: of the back brandishing this large sort of samurai looking

57
00:02:44,813 --> 00:02:49,773
Speaker 2: sword and challenged one of the offenders. Thankfully, thankfully, nobody died.

58
00:02:50,133 --> 00:02:52,373
Speaker 2: But I looked at those images and I thought, Man,

59
00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:56,053
Speaker 2: is that bravery or is that stupidity? Is that adrenaline?

60
00:02:56,333 --> 00:02:58,533
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't do that, And this age in which

61
00:02:58,533 --> 00:03:00,693
Speaker 2: we live now, where there seem to be so many

62
00:03:00,733 --> 00:03:03,653
Speaker 2: weapons out there, I just would. I'd say, hey, take

63
00:03:03,693 --> 00:03:06,133
Speaker 2: whatever you want, take it. The owner of the store

64
00:03:06,213 --> 00:03:08,173
Speaker 2: very brave, Like I say, he was really brave to

65
00:03:08,213 --> 00:03:11,373
Speaker 2: take them on. I just don't know if that's wise.

66
00:03:12,253 --> 00:03:14,893
Speaker 3: I think in the cold light of day, you would go, oh,

67
00:03:15,053 --> 00:03:18,093
Speaker 3: that was possibly not a good, good idea. But in

68
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:21,213
Speaker 3: the moment, I can understand that person doing that.

69
00:03:21,573 --> 00:03:24,173
Speaker 5: Get a Matt, Simon, why is it that you have

70
00:03:24,293 --> 00:03:26,493
Speaker 5: such a habit of getting me so iraq?

71
00:03:26,693 --> 00:03:28,893
Speaker 2: That's what I do strong with you.

72
00:03:29,213 --> 00:03:32,133
Speaker 5: That guy with that sword, the best thing he could

73
00:03:32,173 --> 00:03:34,653
Speaker 5: have done, in my opinion, has come out from the

74
00:03:34,653 --> 00:03:36,693
Speaker 5: back of the shop and driven it straight through that

75
00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:40,493
Speaker 5: guy's chest. This country has had a guts full of

76
00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:42,653
Speaker 5: what's going on and the crimes that have happened in

77
00:03:42,653 --> 00:03:44,733
Speaker 5: this country. I take my head off to that guy

78
00:03:44,773 --> 00:03:47,533
Speaker 5: with that Samurai. I'm just disappointed that he didn't take

79
00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:48,533
Speaker 5: the guy's bloody head off.

80
00:03:48,613 --> 00:03:50,733
Speaker 2: I can understand your emotion there, Matt, and I do

81
00:03:50,853 --> 00:03:53,013
Speaker 2: get it like I do get what you're saying. I'm

82
00:03:53,013 --> 00:03:54,853
Speaker 2: just putting it out there, mate, and again not an

83
00:03:54,853 --> 00:03:56,853
Speaker 2: attempt to blame the victim, because who knows what we

84
00:03:56,893 --> 00:03:59,053
Speaker 2: would do in that situation. It was such a scary,

85
00:03:59,173 --> 00:03:59,933
Speaker 2: scary moment.

86
00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:01,973
Speaker 5: James, can you give Simon a slap around the head

87
00:04:01,973 --> 00:04:05,373
Speaker 5: if you please? Now, Simon to me, yep, the first

88
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:08,453
Speaker 5: thing that happened that was wrong was the burglar entered

89
00:04:08,493 --> 00:04:12,213
Speaker 5: the store. Beyond that point, it doesn't matter what the

90
00:04:12,253 --> 00:04:15,333
Speaker 5: owner or what the owner's son does. That's when the

91
00:04:15,413 --> 00:04:18,533
Speaker 5: law is broken. That's when the lines crossed. Whatever happens

92
00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:21,293
Speaker 5: to that criminal past that point, in my opinion, that's

93
00:04:21,293 --> 00:04:22,533
Speaker 5: his problem. That's as well.

94
00:04:23,973 --> 00:04:27,373
Speaker 6: Hi, Hi guys, how are you. I'm good, Thank you.

95
00:04:27,413 --> 00:04:29,933
Speaker 6: I'm a big time listener, but never a caller, but

96
00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:32,453
Speaker 6: this is a hot topic for me, so I'm calling.

97
00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:36,893
Speaker 6: My partner is a manufacturing jeweler. He's been one for

98
00:04:37,133 --> 00:04:40,693
Speaker 6: forty eight years and has had his own little boutique

99
00:04:40,853 --> 00:04:44,413
Speaker 6: jewelry shop. We've been ram raated twice, he's been robbed

100
00:04:44,853 --> 00:04:49,013
Speaker 6: once before that, and we've talked about this topic just

101
00:04:49,093 --> 00:04:51,933
Speaker 6: over the last few days because you know what's going on,

102
00:04:53,013 --> 00:04:55,293
Speaker 6: and I've asked him, I've you know, what would you do,

103
00:04:55,493 --> 00:05:00,093
Speaker 6: and he would most definitely defend his stock, his livelihood,

104
00:05:00,253 --> 00:05:04,453
Speaker 6: our livelihood, because he has handmade everything that is in

105
00:05:04,493 --> 00:05:08,253
Speaker 6: this shop. We've got star We've got two girls, young

106
00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:11,413
Speaker 6: ladies who work for us, and we've told them at

107
00:05:11,453 --> 00:05:14,893
Speaker 6: no time should they ever try to defend anything. And

108
00:05:14,933 --> 00:05:17,813
Speaker 6: we've got everything in place for their defense, panic buttons

109
00:05:17,853 --> 00:05:20,693
Speaker 6: and all sorts of things, and we've told them strictly

110
00:05:20,773 --> 00:05:24,493
Speaker 6: they must not even try to protect anything except themselves.

111
00:05:25,413 --> 00:05:29,133
Speaker 6: My partner, on the other hand, he has just said that.

112
00:05:29,693 --> 00:05:34,053
Speaker 6: And the first time he was robbed, it was ten

113
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:38,733
Speaker 6: years ago now, a couple of big, burly guys came

114
00:05:38,733 --> 00:05:41,693
Speaker 6: into the shop and just grabbed him instead give us

115
00:05:41,693 --> 00:05:46,093
Speaker 6: your money, and he reacted with every bit of adrenaline

116
00:05:46,133 --> 00:05:49,053
Speaker 6: and him he was smaller than them, but he ended

117
00:05:49,093 --> 00:05:51,253
Speaker 6: up fighting them both and pushing them out of the shop.

118
00:05:52,573 --> 00:05:55,853
Speaker 6: And afterwards he just thought, I didn't even have time

119
00:05:55,893 --> 00:05:58,693
Speaker 6: to think about what I was doing the adrenaline kicked in.

120
00:05:59,573 --> 00:06:05,533
Speaker 6: He just thought, it does bring an anger, a retaliation.

121
00:06:05,213 --> 00:06:08,053
Speaker 1: Feel the highlight reel.

122
00:06:08,453 --> 00:06:11,573
Speaker 2: Part of the problem, you might argue is slipping standards

123
00:06:11,653 --> 00:06:14,733
Speaker 2: just in general, he says, by way of a segue.

124
00:06:15,533 --> 00:06:18,653
Speaker 2: So then I read the story about this Hamilton councilor

125
00:06:18,693 --> 00:06:23,253
Speaker 2: by the name of Andrew Bidder, and he's written what

126
00:06:23,453 --> 00:06:27,213
Speaker 2: can only be described as an expletive laden rant to

127
00:06:27,373 --> 00:06:31,613
Speaker 2: a neighboring council and couple of councilors about a couple

128
00:06:31,653 --> 00:06:34,333
Speaker 2: of things he disagrees with. And he's talking particularly about

129
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:37,813
Speaker 2: a submission to the Wye part District council and the

130
00:06:37,813 --> 00:06:40,933
Speaker 2: mayor of the Wye Part District Council is Susan o'reagan.

131
00:06:41,053 --> 00:06:43,773
Speaker 2: So one thing he says is Oreagan, get off your

132
00:06:43,813 --> 00:06:47,293
Speaker 2: fat ass and do your job. That's the least offensive

133
00:06:47,493 --> 00:06:50,533
Speaker 2: part of the email. He goes on to describe the

134
00:06:50,613 --> 00:06:54,373
Speaker 2: council and he says, what the f and I have

135
00:06:54,413 --> 00:06:56,413
Speaker 2: to be very careful because can't ex spell this out

136
00:06:56,453 --> 00:06:58,133
Speaker 2: even what the f are you?

137
00:07:00,373 --> 00:07:00,533
Speaker 4: Ah?

138
00:07:01,533 --> 00:07:06,013
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a really derogatory term for people that they

139
00:07:06,093 --> 00:07:08,333
Speaker 2: used to be called people with special needs? This because

140
00:07:08,373 --> 00:07:09,293
Speaker 2: what the f are you?

141
00:07:09,653 --> 00:07:09,893
Speaker 7: Are? A?

142
00:07:11,893 --> 00:07:14,173
Speaker 2: And then he calls them another offensive term, and then

143
00:07:14,173 --> 00:07:18,253
Speaker 2: he calls them the C word. Doing the complaint means

144
00:07:18,253 --> 00:07:21,973
Speaker 2: he'll probably be censured. What does that mean? Nobody really knows,

145
00:07:22,053 --> 00:07:23,053
Speaker 2: but it's nothing he.

146
00:07:23,013 --> 00:07:27,013
Speaker 3: Gets told off. It's a code of conduct. Yeah, it's paint.

147
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:31,173
Speaker 2: So we're saying, well, this kind of stuff, surely that's

148
00:07:31,213 --> 00:07:36,213
Speaker 2: sackable if I if I said that, I'd be sacked. Yep,

149
00:07:36,413 --> 00:07:38,933
Speaker 2: you'd be sacked. Ye, most people in their place of

150
00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:41,973
Speaker 2: work could be sacked for that. You've been a counselor

151
00:07:42,013 --> 00:07:43,933
Speaker 2: do you think that you should be able to be

152
00:07:44,013 --> 00:07:47,493
Speaker 2: sacked for this kind of thing? As a counselor to

153
00:07:47,573 --> 00:07:52,093
Speaker 2: be honest. No, why because when any other place of work,

154
00:07:52,133 --> 00:07:52,813
Speaker 2: it's sackable.

155
00:07:52,933 --> 00:07:55,773
Speaker 3: Well, because it's quite clear what you can be sacked

156
00:07:55,813 --> 00:07:58,333
Speaker 3: for or why you would no longer hold.

157
00:07:58,093 --> 00:08:00,653
Speaker 2: Office to change the rules though what so, yeah, you

158
00:08:00,693 --> 00:08:04,573
Speaker 2: could if you bring the council into disrepute, like my

159
00:08:04,653 --> 00:08:07,373
Speaker 2: contract says, you can be sacked. And in this case,

160
00:08:07,733 --> 00:08:10,253
Speaker 2: that guy was a dropkick to speak like that as

161
00:08:10,413 --> 00:08:13,573
Speaker 2: and I might say Paula south Gale, Hamilton Mere. She

162
00:08:13,653 --> 00:08:15,693
Speaker 2: says this, and I think it's well said, She says,

163
00:08:16,053 --> 00:08:18,293
Speaker 2: I find it. I'm quoting her. I find that use

164
00:08:18,333 --> 00:08:22,373
Speaker 2: of language appalling. I think that behavior from anybody, let

165
00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:25,093
Speaker 2: alone a public person, is unprofessional. I can't ignore it.

166
00:08:25,093 --> 00:08:29,333
Speaker 2: It's threatening, it's vulgar, it's abusive, it's disrespectful. That's like

167
00:08:29,413 --> 00:08:31,613
Speaker 2: that guy's so out of touch. I don't like it,

168
00:08:31,653 --> 00:08:34,693
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's sackable. What are we going

169
00:08:34,733 --> 00:08:36,973
Speaker 2: to do to solve the ferry problem? Those things are

170
00:08:37,173 --> 00:08:39,133
Speaker 2: just I mean, what what what would you do?

171
00:08:39,333 --> 00:08:42,133
Speaker 3: Well, there are a couple of options there, get some

172
00:08:42,333 --> 00:08:45,573
Speaker 3: new ships, and I realized that we need the infrastructure

173
00:08:45,613 --> 00:08:49,373
Speaker 3: at each end in Wellington and in the South Island

174
00:08:49,933 --> 00:08:53,333
Speaker 3: and that's another issue. But we need new ships full stop,

175
00:08:53,813 --> 00:08:57,853
Speaker 3: right or you could get a private company to do it.

176
00:08:58,333 --> 00:09:00,013
Speaker 2: Was that Blue Bridge?

177
00:09:00,133 --> 00:09:01,893
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but you don't want to leave them on

178
00:09:01,933 --> 00:09:02,253
Speaker 3: their own.

179
00:09:02,253 --> 00:09:04,613
Speaker 2: Do you got any ideas what to do with the

180
00:09:04,613 --> 00:09:05,213
Speaker 2: ferry setup?

181
00:09:05,333 --> 00:09:08,133
Speaker 8: Get a Paul him James. I think a good idea

182
00:09:08,133 --> 00:09:11,773
Speaker 8: to at least a couple of fairies, really modern ones,

183
00:09:12,173 --> 00:09:14,453
Speaker 8: at least them for two or three years. You don't

184
00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:17,813
Speaker 8: have to have the big capital outlay and within viewer

185
00:09:17,853 --> 00:09:19,533
Speaker 8: purchasing them later.

186
00:09:20,533 --> 00:09:21,893
Speaker 2: At least to own kind of deal.

187
00:09:22,333 --> 00:09:25,373
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think soly you haven't got that same capital outlay.

188
00:09:25,973 --> 00:09:27,773
Speaker 8: And I think we need a dry dock too for

189
00:09:27,853 --> 00:09:30,333
Speaker 8: the fairies. I don't believe we've got a proper dry dock.

190
00:09:30,253 --> 00:09:33,013
Speaker 2: Have we. Why do we have to own them? You're right, Paul,

191
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:35,573
Speaker 2: we don't have to. We can keep that cost down.

192
00:09:35,653 --> 00:09:37,453
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going to be cheap to lease them,

193
00:09:37,973 --> 00:09:41,373
Speaker 2: but we still get a really new vessel. We don't

194
00:09:41,413 --> 00:09:43,853
Speaker 2: have the capital outlay helps the books.

195
00:09:44,133 --> 00:09:46,533
Speaker 3: The main thing is that they've got to find ships

196
00:09:46,573 --> 00:09:51,173
Speaker 3: that will fit the current infrastructure, because that's the big issue.

197
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:54,053
Speaker 3: I think Nicola Willis was right that they were ferraris,

198
00:09:54,173 --> 00:09:58,133
Speaker 3: or let's call them forward rangers raptors, and really.

199
00:09:57,933 --> 00:10:00,573
Speaker 2: All we needed was just something slightly less, something smaller.

200
00:10:00,613 --> 00:10:01,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, good Dave.

201
00:10:01,973 --> 00:10:04,373
Speaker 9: These fairies are rail fairies. I have always been called

202
00:10:04,373 --> 00:10:08,093
Speaker 9: the rail fairies nineteen sixty when the first one and

203
00:10:08,293 --> 00:10:10,053
Speaker 9: the trains when they get the picture and the ramp

204
00:10:10,053 --> 00:10:12,053
Speaker 9: comes down and they just drive, well they don't drive

205
00:10:12,093 --> 00:10:14,013
Speaker 9: the train. They push all the wagons on and at

206
00:10:14,013 --> 00:10:17,173
Speaker 9: Wellington they just pull them off again. And we need

207
00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:19,813
Speaker 9: rail ferries and out of the three only one of

208
00:10:19,853 --> 00:10:22,813
Speaker 9: them is rail capable. We have to order rail fairies.

209
00:10:22,933 --> 00:10:25,613
Speaker 9: And it's part they say, they keep calling the fairies

210
00:10:25,733 --> 00:10:28,173
Speaker 9: part of State Highway one, but it's also part of

211
00:10:28,293 --> 00:10:32,533
Speaker 9: the main trunk Rail't forget that. That's why these fairies started.

212
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:34,693
Speaker 2: Your argument is just to suck up the cost. We

213
00:10:34,813 --> 00:10:36,133
Speaker 2: just stick with the plan that we had.

214
00:10:36,413 --> 00:10:39,813
Speaker 9: Well, it's part of the National Highway, you know villions

215
00:10:39,893 --> 00:10:42,493
Speaker 9: going into the and it's also part of our main

216
00:10:42,573 --> 00:10:43,413
Speaker 9: tourist route.

217
00:10:43,613 --> 00:10:45,933
Speaker 2: Dave, appreciate your point of view, mate, thank you for calling.

218
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:52,733
Speaker 1: Cheers Bo The highlight reel with sign James. The highlight

219
00:10:52,813 --> 00:10:54,773
Speaker 1: reel with sign James.

220
00:10:55,213 --> 00:10:56,973
Speaker 2: Do you like the new all Blacks Jersey. It's quite

221
00:10:56,973 --> 00:10:59,613
Speaker 2: controversial already. No I don't I love it.

222
00:10:59,813 --> 00:11:00,373
Speaker 3: I know you do.

223
00:11:00,573 --> 00:11:02,493
Speaker 2: I love the white collar. Good on them for going

224
00:11:02,533 --> 00:11:05,653
Speaker 2: back old school. Yes, well they called all Blacks.

225
00:11:05,653 --> 00:11:08,013
Speaker 3: They should have it all black from all the ads

226
00:11:08,053 --> 00:11:09,013
Speaker 3: because they have to pay for them.

227
00:11:09,133 --> 00:11:11,933
Speaker 2: A lot of texts re eat the price. And the

228
00:11:11,933 --> 00:11:14,773
Speaker 2: good thing on our very discerning listeners is that they

229
00:11:14,773 --> 00:11:17,613
Speaker 2: think one hundred and ten dollars is actually reasonably priced,

230
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:19,533
Speaker 2: and they thought would be much more. So that's the

231
00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:23,693
Speaker 2: first thing. Second thing, the female All Blacks Jersey has

232
00:11:23,733 --> 00:11:26,293
Speaker 2: the cutback collar. Oh right, it's the males that have

233
00:11:26,373 --> 00:11:29,133
Speaker 2: the full on collar, which I like, right with James

234
00:11:29,133 --> 00:11:34,493
Speaker 2: hates because he's a hater. Third thing, listen to this text. Well,

235
00:11:34,613 --> 00:11:37,813
Speaker 2: Scott Barrett as a joke, he took the Crusaders from

236
00:11:37,813 --> 00:11:38,573
Speaker 2: top to bottom.

237
00:11:39,053 --> 00:11:42,453
Speaker 3: He hardly played all season. I suspect that they kept

238
00:11:42,493 --> 00:11:44,653
Speaker 3: him on ice for the All Blacks.

239
00:11:44,653 --> 00:11:47,013
Speaker 2: Actually, well no, because he broke his finger.

240
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:47,973
Speaker 7: Wow.

241
00:11:48,133 --> 00:11:49,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know he could have come back sooner.

242
00:11:50,013 --> 00:11:53,653
Speaker 3: He could have done a patty to Yeah.

243
00:11:54,093 --> 00:11:57,013
Speaker 2: I really like Scott Barrett as a captain. I think

244
00:11:57,053 --> 00:11:58,973
Speaker 2: he's the sort of captain that you need for the

245
00:11:59,013 --> 00:11:59,413
Speaker 2: all blacks.

246
00:11:59,453 --> 00:12:04,173
Speaker 3: A number of people complaining about the crusaders bias in there,

247
00:12:04,213 --> 00:12:06,973
Speaker 3: but you know the are the people that that he's

248
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:07,933
Speaker 3: nailed his flag to.

249
00:12:08,093 --> 00:12:10,013
Speaker 2: Who would you have as all black captain?

250
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:13,733
Speaker 3: No, I'd go with Scott Barrett got highlight reel.

251
00:12:13,973 --> 00:12:16,613
Speaker 2: A headline grabbed my attens in this morning in the

252
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:20,373
Speaker 2: paper and it says this best thing for our marriage?

253
00:12:20,573 --> 00:12:25,853
Speaker 2: How MDMA slash ecstasy is on the rise among older Kiwis.

254
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:30,093
Speaker 2: MDMA is New Zealand's most popular illicit substance after cannabis.

255
00:12:30,493 --> 00:12:33,493
Speaker 2: About four percent of kiwi's say they've tried it recently,

256
00:12:33,933 --> 00:12:36,973
Speaker 2: but there is an increasing number of over fifties that

257
00:12:37,053 --> 00:12:39,293
Speaker 2: are using it. When I read it, I was like,

258
00:12:39,413 --> 00:12:41,773
Speaker 2: how does this work? Like, I don't understand that. Yes,

259
00:12:41,813 --> 00:12:44,613
Speaker 2: I know I have never tried it, but it's illegal.

260
00:12:44,693 --> 00:12:47,293
Speaker 2: It's a class B drag and that's probably because I'm

261
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,573
Speaker 2: a bit of a goodie twosues in that regard. The

262
00:12:49,573 --> 00:12:51,733
Speaker 2: more I read it, the more I felt a bit uncomfortable.

263
00:12:51,773 --> 00:12:54,373
Speaker 2: Was is it socially irresponsible even putting it out there?

264
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:56,773
Speaker 2: Because the woman that they speak to they've changed her name.

265
00:12:57,373 --> 00:13:00,453
Speaker 2: She's a senior manager in Auckland, she's a business owner,

266
00:13:00,893 --> 00:13:03,573
Speaker 2: and she says that it completely changed their marriage for

267
00:13:03,613 --> 00:13:05,973
Speaker 2: the better. It doesn't go into the lurid details, but

268
00:13:06,053 --> 00:13:09,213
Speaker 2: one thing she said is she's very careful person. She's

269
00:13:09,213 --> 00:13:11,733
Speaker 2: a very paranoid person. She says, I was brought up

270
00:13:11,733 --> 00:13:15,213
Speaker 2: in a conservative Christian household, so I was scared of drags.

271
00:13:15,933 --> 00:13:19,533
Speaker 2: But her self image and self esteem has been suffering recently.

272
00:13:19,813 --> 00:13:22,213
Speaker 2: Once fifty kicked in. She was worried about her body image.

273
00:13:22,213 --> 00:13:24,093
Speaker 2: When she took this drag, she said, she felt so

274
00:13:24,213 --> 00:13:27,293
Speaker 2: much better about herself. It gave her great confidence. I think,

275
00:13:27,373 --> 00:13:30,093
Speaker 2: she says, I saw myself as a goddess when I

276
00:13:30,133 --> 00:13:31,413
Speaker 2: took it. Do you reckon it's on the end?

277
00:13:31,453 --> 00:13:34,173
Speaker 3: You're curious about it? Well, I don't know for a fact,

278
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:36,933
Speaker 3: but when I read this story, I thought, oh, you know,

279
00:13:37,093 --> 00:13:38,853
Speaker 3: I kind of get that because people who are in

280
00:13:38,893 --> 00:13:41,453
Speaker 3: their fifties, they were born in the seventies, and so

281
00:13:41,653 --> 00:13:43,653
Speaker 3: during the nineties, they are in their twenties when they

282
00:13:43,773 --> 00:13:47,013
Speaker 3: probably tried it for the first time, and they may

283
00:13:47,053 --> 00:13:49,773
Speaker 3: have gone away from it, and then now the kids

284
00:13:49,813 --> 00:13:51,893
Speaker 3: are off their hands and so on, and they're back

285
00:13:52,253 --> 00:13:54,573
Speaker 3: into getting a bit of a buzz, and you know.

286
00:13:54,613 --> 00:13:58,693
Speaker 3: What I wonder is whether they are using that instead

287
00:13:58,693 --> 00:13:59,213
Speaker 3: of alcohol.

288
00:13:59,373 --> 00:14:01,613
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what about the fact that it is illegal?

289
00:14:01,813 --> 00:14:04,853
Speaker 2: Does that not come into these people's considerations when they're

290
00:14:05,253 --> 00:14:05,853
Speaker 2: taking part.

291
00:14:05,733 --> 00:14:07,533
Speaker 3: When they're looking for a happy time?

292
00:14:08,293 --> 00:14:09,893
Speaker 2: I don't think so, Mark joins us.

293
00:14:09,893 --> 00:14:13,133
Speaker 7: Hello, Mark, you guys, I'd like to just focus on

294
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:15,893
Speaker 7: what the lady who gave you example of being in

295
00:14:15,893 --> 00:14:17,893
Speaker 7: the mid fifties and taking it, and since you felt

296
00:14:17,933 --> 00:14:20,533
Speaker 7: like a goddess. One thing this thing will do is

297
00:14:20,573 --> 00:14:25,213
Speaker 7: it will strip away your bs. We'll leave you standing

298
00:14:25,213 --> 00:14:27,613
Speaker 7: there in front of your partner and them in front

299
00:14:27,613 --> 00:14:30,693
Speaker 7: of you, and you sort of see the whole person.

300
00:14:31,293 --> 00:14:33,933
Speaker 7: They see all of you, They see all your experience,

301
00:14:34,013 --> 00:14:37,613
Speaker 7: your physicality, your mind. You love all these things, and

302
00:14:37,653 --> 00:14:39,693
Speaker 7: you see that in them, and it rounds off all

303
00:14:39,773 --> 00:14:42,933
Speaker 7: the sharpened edges and you just left there with each other.

304
00:14:43,373 --> 00:14:45,493
Speaker 2: What happens when you don't have that, though, and the

305
00:14:46,013 --> 00:14:48,333
Speaker 2: rough edges aren't sharpened off, and you see each other

306
00:14:48,413 --> 00:14:50,653
Speaker 2: and you go, oh, man, I need the drug.

307
00:14:51,133 --> 00:14:51,373
Speaker 4: To be.

308
00:14:53,013 --> 00:14:54,973
Speaker 7: Honest, I'd like to engage with James on this one

309
00:14:55,013 --> 00:14:59,653
Speaker 7: because I just think you're coius about all this. So James,

310
00:14:59,693 --> 00:15:01,613
Speaker 7: I sort of look at it this way take away

311
00:15:01,653 --> 00:15:05,853
Speaker 7: all that the woman is. She feels herself this rounded

312
00:15:05,973 --> 00:15:09,373
Speaker 7: human being again, and it can create a chance not

313
00:15:09,413 --> 00:15:13,333
Speaker 7: only to heal and connect, but to also re engage

314
00:15:13,373 --> 00:15:16,773
Speaker 7: and find a pathway forward where you express and understand

315
00:15:16,853 --> 00:15:20,373
Speaker 7: your your growth together. And I think that's something that

316
00:15:21,093 --> 00:15:25,053
Speaker 7: has sort of lost in the and Simon's quirky we

317
00:15:25,173 --> 00:15:26,493
Speaker 7: tend I think it's illegal.

318
00:15:26,773 --> 00:15:28,693
Speaker 10: Will you get done by that thing?

319
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:29,373
Speaker 9: Yeah?

320
00:15:29,373 --> 00:15:32,013
Speaker 3: But Mark, what about the fact that it is illegal?

321
00:15:32,093 --> 00:15:33,733
Speaker 3: Does that worry you at any point in time?

322
00:15:33,853 --> 00:15:33,973
Speaker 6: No?

323
00:15:34,293 --> 00:15:38,013
Speaker 7: No't Look, I'm fifty three on the target market. This thing.

324
00:15:38,293 --> 00:15:40,813
Speaker 7: Everybody went to Europe and to the Oe and eighty

325
00:15:40,853 --> 00:15:44,013
Speaker 7: eight eighty nine Berlin Wall came down and everybody was

326
00:15:44,053 --> 00:15:46,093
Speaker 7: on the easy good. He's a good and He's a

327
00:15:46,133 --> 00:15:47,213
Speaker 7: good was the.

328
00:15:47,093 --> 00:15:48,973
Speaker 5: Song all over the world.

329
00:15:49,253 --> 00:15:52,453
Speaker 7: Ease reigned through the world. It's been around for a

330
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:53,213
Speaker 7: long time now.

331
00:15:53,293 --> 00:15:55,653
Speaker 2: Hey, so Marke, So it's the wowser here. What happens

332
00:15:55,653 --> 00:15:57,453
Speaker 2: when you're not on the drug with your relationship?

333
00:15:57,813 --> 00:15:59,733
Speaker 7: If you need that, drugs made the break It's no,

334
00:15:59,893 --> 00:16:02,613
Speaker 7: it made the breakthrough for you, Simon. It stripped away

335
00:16:02,773 --> 00:16:05,573
Speaker 7: what that evening did for for your relationship. For a

336
00:16:06,093 --> 00:16:08,893
Speaker 7: very long period of time was it made the breakthrough

337
00:16:08,933 --> 00:16:11,013
Speaker 7: that allowed you to carry on further and throther. It

338
00:16:11,093 --> 00:16:13,693
Speaker 7: just creates a deeper connection for that period of time,

339
00:16:13,733 --> 00:16:15,893
Speaker 7: and then you're like, well, actually we did that.

340
00:16:16,453 --> 00:16:18,653
Speaker 2: If you say don't care about the illegal aspect of

341
00:16:18,653 --> 00:16:21,333
Speaker 2: the drugs, you can't pick and choose which laws you go.

342
00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:22,853
Speaker 2: Are you that one one doesn't?

343
00:16:22,933 --> 00:16:23,133
Speaker 5: Yeah?

344
00:16:23,213 --> 00:16:26,013
Speaker 7: Yeah, you do. You do. And every every day, every

345
00:16:26,053 --> 00:16:29,013
Speaker 7: human being decides whether or not they'll skimmed through the

346
00:16:29,013 --> 00:16:31,133
Speaker 7: orange light. It's just the way of the world.

347
00:16:31,213 --> 00:16:33,733
Speaker 3: Mark, it's Mark, it's the wild one. Here. Are you

348
00:16:33,813 --> 00:16:35,573
Speaker 3: in a relationship right now?

349
00:16:35,693 --> 00:16:36,173
Speaker 5: No?

350
00:16:36,173 --> 00:16:37,053
Speaker 7: No, not currently.

351
00:16:37,293 --> 00:16:37,853
Speaker 3: What happened?

352
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:41,053
Speaker 5: What happened?

353
00:16:43,173 --> 00:16:45,493
Speaker 7: That's just called life and things and the way things

354
00:16:45,533 --> 00:16:49,333
Speaker 7: play out. No, nobody's fault, just things happened.

355
00:16:49,373 --> 00:16:51,813
Speaker 3: You were going out with a wowser like Simon. That's

356
00:16:51,813 --> 00:16:52,213
Speaker 3: what I was.

357
00:16:54,773 --> 00:17:00,173
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark. Interesting, Sorry guys, says this text. I've

358
00:17:00,173 --> 00:17:03,413
Speaker 2: had to switch off. My partner took MDM a Christmas time.

359
00:17:03,733 --> 00:17:07,693
Speaker 2: He died from toxicity and he had a heart attack.

360
00:17:07,853 --> 00:17:10,253
Speaker 2: I have the Connor report that says it was directly

361
00:17:10,293 --> 00:17:13,493
Speaker 2: attributal to his death. And these people mock it. And see,

362
00:17:13,773 --> 00:17:16,373
Speaker 2: I know Mark called me a wowser, but that stuff's real,

363
00:17:16,453 --> 00:17:18,853
Speaker 2: that text is real. And again I go back to

364
00:17:18,893 --> 00:17:21,293
Speaker 2: what the woman from the Drug Foundation said, despite what

365
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:24,453
Speaker 2: Mark said with respect, she said, there are real caveats

366
00:17:24,453 --> 00:17:27,773
Speaker 2: around this because of the serotonin in the brain. And

367
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:31,973
Speaker 2: if you're on antidepression medication, or you suffer from depression

368
00:17:32,053 --> 00:17:34,053
Speaker 2: or anxiety and you're not even non medication, it can

369
00:17:34,093 --> 00:17:35,413
Speaker 2: have devastating effects.

370
00:17:35,453 --> 00:17:38,373
Speaker 1: The best moments from the week, this is the highlight

371
00:17:38,453 --> 00:17:42,373
Speaker 1: reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels powered by News Talk.

372
00:17:42,213 --> 00:17:45,413
Speaker 2: Said awful as it is, how difficult as it is

373
00:17:45,453 --> 00:17:48,893
Speaker 2: to discuss this. We are discussing the sentencing of Lauren Dickerson.

374
00:17:48,973 --> 00:17:52,573
Speaker 2: Obviously many people were anxious to hear the sentence and

375
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:55,173
Speaker 2: we're getting huge amount of texts on it. This one

376
00:17:55,213 --> 00:17:58,813
Speaker 2: says Simon and James. Given this country's appalling child abuse statistics,

377
00:17:58,853 --> 00:18:02,613
Speaker 2: this sentence, particularly no non parole period, completely sends the

378
00:18:02,653 --> 00:18:05,293
Speaker 2: wrong message. And this one says, guys, I get that

379
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:07,733
Speaker 2: it might not be intentional, but if your mind is

380
00:18:07,733 --> 00:18:10,773
Speaker 2: the type that can break even temporarily and do something

381
00:18:10,853 --> 00:18:13,493
Speaker 2: like this, then it can break again and there is

382
00:18:13,533 --> 00:18:14,533
Speaker 2: the inherent risk.

383
00:18:15,253 --> 00:18:18,573
Speaker 8: Hello, Chris calling from Australia.

384
00:18:18,893 --> 00:18:24,573
Speaker 10: My personal opinion is with this woman who has killed

385
00:18:24,853 --> 00:18:30,653
Speaker 10: three people and she gets out after six years or.

386
00:18:30,573 --> 00:18:33,373
Speaker 2: Eight years potentially not guaranteed yet she'll.

387
00:18:33,253 --> 00:18:38,333
Speaker 10: Be potentially the judge has said to take someone's life,

388
00:18:39,013 --> 00:18:44,253
Speaker 10: is only seven hundred days in jail for taking someone's life,

389
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:48,253
Speaker 10: and I think that absolutely pathetic. She moveded her own

390
00:18:48,373 --> 00:18:52,013
Speaker 10: children and she should be in jail for the rest

391
00:18:52,053 --> 00:18:56,053
Speaker 10: of her life. And I don't care about the mental

392
00:18:56,093 --> 00:18:59,813
Speaker 10: health aspect because if she's mentally ill and has killed

393
00:18:59,853 --> 00:19:04,093
Speaker 10: three of her own it's just disgusting. I wouldn't let

394
00:19:04,133 --> 00:19:04,493
Speaker 10: her out.

395
00:19:04,813 --> 00:19:07,413
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is that she'll be for parole in

396
00:19:07,573 --> 00:19:10,013
Speaker 3: six years, Chris, but it doesn't mean that she will

397
00:19:10,053 --> 00:19:14,373
Speaker 3: be released. She'll be assessed absolutely, and I hope they

398
00:19:14,573 --> 00:19:15,733
Speaker 3: don't fair enough.

399
00:19:15,853 --> 00:19:17,973
Speaker 2: Chris, really do. Thank you for taking the time to

400
00:19:17,973 --> 00:19:20,333
Speaker 2: call from Australia and thanks for listening. I'll hi Joselle.

401
00:19:20,453 --> 00:19:24,653
Speaker 11: Actually, if she's gone a forensic tread facility, then she'll

402
00:19:24,653 --> 00:19:27,293
Speaker 11: be on a forensic statement order, probably for the rest

403
00:19:27,333 --> 00:19:30,213
Speaker 11: of her life, which means that after the sixth or

404
00:19:30,213 --> 00:19:33,773
Speaker 11: eight years when she's eligible for parole, she'll probably be

405
00:19:33,893 --> 00:19:37,653
Speaker 11: given mandatory medication for the rest of her life, and

406
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:41,093
Speaker 11: she'll have to be checking in regularly with the team forever.

407
00:19:42,253 --> 00:19:46,253
Speaker 11: We just don't have the facilities to house Pailiny because

408
00:19:46,653 --> 00:19:50,133
Speaker 11: since the eighties the mental health facilities have closed down. So,

409
00:19:50,773 --> 00:19:54,533
Speaker 11: you know, medication is considered so effective that if somebody's

410
00:19:54,573 --> 00:19:58,853
Speaker 11: put on a regime that they can't voluntarily take themselves off,

411
00:19:58,973 --> 00:20:02,453
Speaker 11: like an injection, then they're not likely to become at

412
00:20:02,533 --> 00:20:05,773
Speaker 11: risk to themselves or other people. It's really difficult to

413
00:20:05,773 --> 00:20:08,853
Speaker 11: get beds psych wards now, so they probably thought, oh,

414
00:20:08,973 --> 00:20:11,613
Speaker 11: she's a white, middle class woman, she's a doctor, she's

415
00:20:11,613 --> 00:20:14,693
Speaker 11: well educated, sull know to get help. But she went

416
00:20:14,733 --> 00:20:15,173
Speaker 11: too far.

417
00:20:15,613 --> 00:20:18,213
Speaker 2: So in conclusion, Gazel, people who are committed to a

418
00:20:18,213 --> 00:20:20,573
Speaker 2: mental health facility for a crime like this that they're

419
00:20:20,613 --> 00:20:21,853
Speaker 2: never really free ever.

420
00:20:22,053 --> 00:20:22,893
Speaker 11: Absolutely not.

421
00:20:23,093 --> 00:20:23,173
Speaker 4: No.

422
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:26,173
Speaker 2: Very good to hear from you, Giselle. Thank you for

423
00:20:26,213 --> 00:20:27,013
Speaker 2: that clarification.

424
00:20:27,773 --> 00:20:31,573
Speaker 1: Chats, laughs, and the best calls. This is the highlight

425
00:20:31,653 --> 00:20:35,293
Speaker 1: reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels Powered Bodies Talk

426
00:20:35,333 --> 00:20:35,573
Speaker 1: sai'd be.

427
00:20:35,773 --> 00:20:39,093
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's a really interesting story the Warriors. Well,

428
00:20:39,133 --> 00:20:43,293
Speaker 2: a guy that's been often a scapegoat for disgruntled fans

429
00:20:43,613 --> 00:20:46,493
Speaker 2: of the Warriors as Shawn Johnson, and there was a

430
00:20:46,533 --> 00:20:48,453
Speaker 2: couple of years where he kind of went awol and

431
00:20:48,493 --> 00:20:49,853
Speaker 2: then he got let go by the club, but he

432
00:20:49,933 --> 00:20:52,053
Speaker 2: went somewhere else and dalla la. That's kind of a material.

433
00:20:52,053 --> 00:20:54,413
Speaker 2: But the Warriors last year were amazing. Everybody came on

434
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:56,013
Speaker 2: board up the Wars. You know how it all took

435
00:20:56,013 --> 00:20:59,093
Speaker 2: off and started off first couple of games the season

436
00:20:59,173 --> 00:21:00,813
Speaker 2: up the Wars was all good. But then the Wars

437
00:21:00,853 --> 00:21:01,373
Speaker 2: have gone.

438
00:21:01,573 --> 00:21:05,213
Speaker 3: Last year he was almost the MVP of the NRL,

439
00:21:05,253 --> 00:21:09,133
Speaker 3: the most valuable player of the NRL. He yeah in

440
00:21:09,173 --> 00:21:12,613
Speaker 3: the DM meddle and you know, everything was hunky.

441
00:21:12,293 --> 00:21:16,253
Speaker 2: Dory, and then culminating in last weekends sixty odd point

442
00:21:16,293 --> 00:21:18,333
Speaker 2: thrashing by a team that was placed pretty much at

443
00:21:18,333 --> 00:21:20,373
Speaker 2: the bottom of the table. They were the bottom, all right,

444
00:21:20,533 --> 00:21:23,253
Speaker 2: So so okay, so it hasn't gone well. Andrew Webbs

445
00:21:23,373 --> 00:21:25,773
Speaker 2: is the coach. I love that guy. He seems really sensible.

446
00:21:25,853 --> 00:21:28,333
Speaker 2: He said, it's just outrageous for fans to blame Sean

447
00:21:28,413 --> 00:21:30,773
Speaker 2: Johnson for the loss. So we're not talking really about

448
00:21:30,773 --> 00:21:32,533
Speaker 2: the game. We're not talking about the Warrior's season, We're

449
00:21:32,533 --> 00:21:34,893
Speaker 2: not talking about the Wars, or it's that the year

450
00:21:35,013 --> 00:21:38,133
Speaker 2: we're talking about Sean Johnson has come out. He's obviously

451
00:21:38,293 --> 00:21:41,093
Speaker 2: it's got to them. The criticism has been once again

452
00:21:41,173 --> 00:21:44,333
Speaker 2: leveled at him as a playmaker, and he posted on

453
00:21:44,373 --> 00:21:48,453
Speaker 2: Instagram a couple of comments and he said this, just

454
00:21:48,613 --> 00:21:51,413
Speaker 2: like you. I see the comments and damn some of

455
00:21:51,453 --> 00:21:54,053
Speaker 2: you are savage. If you are one of those this

456
00:21:54,213 --> 00:21:56,413
Speaker 2: was another post. You're one of those who find comfort

457
00:21:56,453 --> 00:21:59,653
Speaker 2: in slamming others online. I hope everything is okay. Read

458
00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:03,693
Speaker 2: cynicism and another one. Your words don't carry weight this

459
00:22:03,813 --> 00:22:07,173
Speaker 2: time around, but they could for the next you choose

460
00:22:07,213 --> 00:22:10,973
Speaker 2: to spew your negativity on Think before you type. Clearly,

461
00:22:11,013 --> 00:22:13,093
Speaker 2: that's a man that's read some of these comments and

462
00:22:13,133 --> 00:22:16,493
Speaker 2: they've got under his skin. And I would be exactly

463
00:22:16,493 --> 00:22:19,253
Speaker 2: the same as him. And occasionally we get texts and

464
00:22:19,333 --> 00:22:22,653
Speaker 2: here you and I and they're not particularly flattering, and

465
00:22:23,493 --> 00:22:26,613
Speaker 2: it's really hard not to respond. But I guess that

466
00:22:26,853 --> 00:22:28,733
Speaker 2: is the point of a troll.

467
00:22:28,933 --> 00:22:33,293
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are poking at you and hoping you will react,

468
00:22:33,733 --> 00:22:36,773
Speaker 3: and in this instance, Sean Johnson has And that's what

469
00:22:36,893 --> 00:22:39,893
Speaker 3: takes us to the question, is that a wise thing

470
00:22:39,933 --> 00:22:41,373
Speaker 3: for him to engage.

471
00:22:41,133 --> 00:22:43,813
Speaker 2: Hillary Barry is another one on seven Sharps. She cops

472
00:22:43,853 --> 00:22:46,013
Speaker 2: a lot of abuse and there's been and she's always

473
00:22:46,053 --> 00:22:49,453
Speaker 2: responding to the haters. So is that a smart response,

474
00:22:49,533 --> 00:22:51,293
Speaker 2: is it a good response, is it a wise response?

475
00:22:51,373 --> 00:22:53,373
Speaker 2: Is an appropriate response? Or does any of that matter?

476
00:22:53,413 --> 00:22:55,533
Speaker 2: And just go will screw you. I'm going to get

477
00:22:55,533 --> 00:22:58,333
Speaker 2: you back, which is what Hillary did, Yeah, and what

478
00:22:58,413 --> 00:22:59,333
Speaker 2: Sean's sort of done.

479
00:22:59,453 --> 00:23:02,253
Speaker 3: So I think that you should just let them have

480
00:23:02,333 --> 00:23:06,333
Speaker 3: their free shot. Don't give them the satisfaction of a response,

481
00:23:07,253 --> 00:23:08,253
Speaker 3: make it the earshot.

482
00:23:08,453 --> 00:23:10,693
Speaker 2: I used to always respond because I didn't you know,

483
00:23:10,733 --> 00:23:13,093
Speaker 2: when I was at another radio station, you didn't really

484
00:23:13,093 --> 00:23:15,253
Speaker 2: get much negativity. When you do talk back, you're putting

485
00:23:15,253 --> 00:23:17,013
Speaker 2: a stake in the ground, and yet you attract a

486
00:23:17,053 --> 00:23:19,933
Speaker 2: fearb You're a lightning rod for some negative comments. And

487
00:23:19,973 --> 00:23:22,053
Speaker 2: I used to respond. And then my wife said something.

488
00:23:22,213 --> 00:23:24,693
Speaker 2: But this was back in the day. She was very wise,

489
00:23:25,253 --> 00:23:28,813
Speaker 2: and she said, every time you respond to a text assignment,

490
00:23:29,133 --> 00:23:32,213
Speaker 2: they win, because she knew how competitive I was, and

491
00:23:32,293 --> 00:23:34,453
Speaker 2: so when she said they win, that made me go, hmm.

492
00:23:35,613 --> 00:23:39,573
Speaker 2: So that's kind of my controlling yard stack.

493
00:23:39,213 --> 00:23:41,213
Speaker 3: Bringing you the best of the week.

494
00:23:41,413 --> 00:23:44,573
Speaker 1: You're listening to the highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and

495
00:23:44,693 --> 00:23:46,173

Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty dollars. Straight away, As you might expect,

504
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:17,813
Speaker 2: the text machine has lit up. People not happy. What

505
00:24:17,853 --> 00:24:20,573
Speaker 2: a pathetic sentence. She stole nine thousand dollars worth of

506
00:24:20,653 --> 00:24:23,693
Speaker 2: clothing and gets fined sixteen hundred bucks. She'll be eligible

507
00:24:23,693 --> 00:24:26,293
Speaker 2: for a clean slate record in about five years. No accountability,

508
00:24:26,653 --> 00:24:29,413
Speaker 2: what a crock And a bunch of people are saying

509
00:24:29,453 --> 00:24:31,733
Speaker 2: similar sorts of things. Didn't she steal nine thousand dollars

510
00:24:31,813 --> 00:24:32,693
Speaker 2: worth of stuff?

511
00:24:33,053 --> 00:24:33,493
Speaker 3: I think so?

512
00:24:33,653 --> 00:24:35,173
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think was actually more than that, but it

513
00:24:35,213 --> 00:24:38,013
Speaker 2: was downgraded to under ten k, which means it's a

514
00:24:38,053 --> 00:24:38,973
Speaker 2: less offense.

515
00:24:39,093 --> 00:24:41,893
Speaker 3: If it had been over ten. Valued at over ten,

516
00:24:42,253 --> 00:24:44,693
Speaker 3: then she would have possibly gone to jail.

517
00:24:46,053 --> 00:24:51,493
Speaker 2: That's a freaking joke, is a text. Yeah, yeah, thanks

518
00:24:51,853 --> 00:24:56,053
Speaker 2: every thing I'm saying it. Guys, crime does pay nine

519
00:24:56,133 --> 00:24:58,093
Speaker 2: k worth of good stolen and all you get is

520
00:24:58,133 --> 00:25:00,773
Speaker 2: a tickle on the air. That is just a huge joke.

521
00:25:01,373 --> 00:25:03,813
Speaker 2: And we'll finished with this text. I just cannot believe

522
00:25:04,213 --> 00:25:06,733
Speaker 2: that that's all she gets. Sixteen hundred bucks and court

523
00:25:06,813 --> 00:25:09,933
Speaker 2: costs of two hundred and fifty dollars. That is wrong,

524
00:25:09,973 --> 00:25:14,293
Speaker 2: and that's why these people get a bad reputation an officialdom.

525
00:25:14,493 --> 00:25:16,973
Speaker 2: It seems like it is one rule for one and

526
00:25:17,053 --> 00:25:20,333
Speaker 2: one rule for the high brow. But this text is

527
00:25:20,493 --> 00:25:25,213
Speaker 2: a different view. Guys, I cannot believe, says the text

528
00:25:25,213 --> 00:25:28,973
Speaker 2: to Dan. I cannot believe how vindictive and punitive people are.

529
00:25:29,373 --> 00:25:33,573
Speaker 2: Gorris's life is in tatter's. Her career is probably over. Actually,

530
00:25:33,653 --> 00:25:35,933
Speaker 2: that's the point, because now she did get a conviction.

531
00:25:36,173 --> 00:25:38,253
Speaker 2: There was some suggestion she may have got off without

532
00:25:38,253 --> 00:25:40,773
Speaker 2: a conviction. Now she's been convicted, so I presume she

533
00:25:41,813 --> 00:25:44,733
Speaker 2: can't practice at the bar for some period. The woman's

534
00:25:44,733 --> 00:25:46,653
Speaker 2: life is in tatters, her career is probably over. I

535
00:25:46,653 --> 00:25:49,693
Speaker 2: would speculate this as much more a mental health issue

536
00:25:49,693 --> 00:25:54,653
Speaker 2: than people are suggesting that could ruin her life forever.

537
00:25:55,693 --> 00:25:58,613
Speaker 2: What she did was clearly wrong, but I think the

538
00:25:58,933 --> 00:26:00,213
Speaker 2: fine is the way to go.

539

560
00:27:19,173 --> 00:27:21,053
Speaker 2: to hold your hand This day. In nineteen sixty four,

561
00:27:21,093 --> 00:27:23,973
Speaker 2: Keith Holyoak was Prime Minister of New Zealand. The pubs

562
00:27:24,013 --> 00:27:27,133
Speaker 2: closed at six o'clock. The whole six o'clock swell and

563

569
00:27:45,173 --> 00:27:47,413
Speaker 3: concerts in Dunedin were the only ones in New Zealand

570
00:27:47,613 --> 00:27:50,893
Speaker 3: where fans didn't try to rush the stage, but the

571
00:27:50,893 --> 00:27:53,733
Speaker 3: fans did steal the helmets from the police who had

572
00:27:53,773 --> 00:27:56,333
Speaker 3: locked arms in front of the stage and played football

573
00:27:56,333 --> 00:27:59,493
Speaker 3: in the aisles with the helmets. It was a ten

574
00:27:59,653 --> 00:28:03,453
Speaker 3: songs set. It was over in twenty five minutes, and

575

00:28:26,853 --> 00:28:28,333

00:28:28,693 --> 00:28:29,533
Speaker 4: Does anybody know?

584
00:28:29,973 --> 00:28:30,613
