And there's no bigger occasion almost in 12 00:00:38,813 --> 00:00:40,813 Speaker 2: Dunedin than when a Test match or a Super Final 13 00:00:40,893 --> 00:00:41,493 Speaker 2: comes to town. 14 00:00:41,693 --> 00:00:44,933 Speaker 3: Oh it's something else. It really is very very special 15 00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:49,253 Speaker 3: and it's also quite an amazing weekend if you've got 16 00:00:49,293 --> 00:00:52,013 Speaker 3: accommodation as well, because that's the yes you're here in Tonedan. 17 00:00:52,293 --> 00:00:55,093 Speaker 3: It's not getting tickets to the event, it's finding accommodation. 18 00:00:55,213 --> 00:00:57,973 Speaker 3: So that's why so many of the farmers I've spoken 19 00:00:57,973 --> 00:01:00,253 Speaker 3: to down here are actually able to make it in 20 00:01:00,333 --> 00:01:02,933 Speaker 3: for the game because their farms are within killey of 21 00:01:03,013 --> 00:01:05,453 Speaker 3: Forsyth Bar, so they're able to come and go to 22 00:01:05,493 --> 00:01:07,773 Speaker 3: the game and then home, which means there is a 23 00:01:07,773 --> 00:01:11,093 Speaker 3: bit more accommodation for out of town people. But yeah, 24 00:01:11,093 --> 00:01:14,013 Speaker 3: it is a real challenge. But the atmosphere this morning 25 00:01:14,093 --> 00:01:16,773 Speaker 3: was amazing. I just picked up Jason pine host of 26 00:01:16,813 --> 00:01:19,573 Speaker 3: Week in Sport here on Newstalks.

Yeah, 33 00:01:36,813 --> 00:01:38,813 Speaker 3: they were on the same flight as well, and you 34 00:01:38,813 --> 00:01:41,813 Speaker 3: know they're so excited to be down here for the game. 35 00:01:42,093 --> 00:01:43,893 Speaker 3: I said to Robin, you know, as we're walking out 36 00:01:43,893 --> 00:01:46,453 Speaker 3: to the car, doesn't feel different and she said it does. 37 00:01:46,893 --> 00:01:48,653 Speaker 3: You know, I think that I've got the weight of 38 00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,973 Speaker 3: what Scott is feeling on their backs as well. And 39 00:01:52,013 --> 00:01:54,093 Speaker 3: you know, Paul Piney then had to listen to farming 40 00:01:54,173 --> 00:01:56,333 Speaker 3: chat all the way from the airport into town. You 41 00:01:56,373 --> 00:01:59,373 Speaker 3: know about whether there are are the heifers and their 42 00:01:59,413 --> 00:02:02,213 Speaker 3: cows are starting to bag up ahead of carving, which 43 00:02:02,253 --> 00:02:05,453 Speaker 3: they are because they're not far away from carving up 44 00:02:05,453 --> 00:02:07,853 Speaker 3: there in Tuartanaki at the moment, and then what's going 45 00:02:07,893 --> 00:02:10,373 Speaker 3: on in the district, and yeah, poor Piney, but that 46 00:02:10,533 --> 00:02:12,493 Speaker 3: is a bit of a consideration for them. They'd love 47 00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:14,133 Speaker 3: to go to all of the All Blacks games in 48 00:02:14,173 --> 00:02:17,053 Speaker 3: New Zealand, but the farmer's calling and they said, usually 49 00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:19,573 Speaker 3: these games are a wee bit earlier and so they 50 00:02:19,573 --> 00:02:22,093 Speaker 3: can get to them before they really get into carving. 51 00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:24,613 Speaker 3: So they've had to actually pick and choose which games 52 00:02:24,613 --> 00:02:26,413 Speaker 3: they're going to. But this one is going to be a. 53 00:02:26,373 --> 00:02:28,053 Speaker 2: Really really special occasion. 54 00:02:28,493 --> 00:02:30,813 Speaker 3: The octagon is blocked off here in Duneda and a 55 00:02:30,813 --> 00:02:32,853 Speaker 3: lot of the roads are blocked off. But yeah, are 56 00:02:33,013 --> 00:02:35,973 Speaker 3: just a real buzz in the city ahead of this game. 57 00:02:36,213 --> 00:02:38,493 Speaker 2: Can't wait. Thank you very much for saving have a 58 00:02:38,533 --> 00:02:39,733 Speaker 2: good one, thanks sir. 59 00:02:40,813 --> 00:02:44,053 Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Simon Barnard and James Daniels. 60 00:02:44,293 --> 00:02:47,493 Speaker 2: News Talk said be e cigarette packaging and flavor is 61 00:02:47,533 --> 00:02:50,413 Speaker 2: going to be tightly restricted in Australia. They've become the 62 00:02:50,453 --> 00:02:54,653 Speaker 2: first country to ban the sale of vapes outside pharmacies. 63 00:02:54,973 --> 00:02:57,453 Speaker 2: The new laws come in to effect this coming Monday, 64 00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:03,813 Speaker 2: so the domestic manufacture, supply, commercial possession and advertisement of 65 00:03:03,893 --> 00:03:07,733 Speaker 2: disposable and non therapeutic vapes are completely banned under these 66 00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:11,693 Speaker 2: new reforms, which means, simply put, they'll only be a 67 00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:14,893 Speaker 2: vaiddal behind the counter at pharmacies. Also, they're going to 68 00:03:14,893 --> 00:03:17,853 Speaker 2: control the nicotine concentrations. This is a big deal. 69 00:03:18,253 --> 00:03:21,013 Speaker 6: Should we follow in their footsteps over here? I'm kind 70 00:03:21,013 --> 00:03:24,013 Speaker 6: of conflicted on this one because I really enjoy using 71 00:03:24,053 --> 00:03:27,413 Speaker 6: a vape. I enjoy the tactile notion of what of 72 00:03:27,613 --> 00:03:29,693 Speaker 6: doing it? The social side of it, well. 73 00:03:29,573 --> 00:03:31,853 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Australia has gone hard on the consequences. 74 00:03:31,973 --> 00:03:36,333 Speaker 2: Individuals selling non therapeutic vapes from Monday may risk up 75 00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:39,333 Speaker 2: to seven years in jail and two point two million 76 00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:40,373 Speaker 2: dollars in fines. 77 00:03:40,493 --> 00:03:42,773 Speaker 6: Now, these aren't the consumers. These are the people that 78 00:03:42,813 --> 00:03:43,413 Speaker 6: are selling them. 79 00:03:43,573 --> 00:03:48,013 Speaker 2: They're retailers and individual retailers. Hello there, Johnny, mate, how 80 00:03:48,093 --> 00:03:48,413 Speaker 2: I am? 81 00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:49,133 Speaker 5: Oh? 82 00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:51,693 Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been better. I'm just watching the puppy destroy 83 00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:54,533 Speaker 7: another bead and pull the heir out of the stuffing out. 84 00:03:55,853 --> 00:03:58,253 Speaker 2: They cost you fourteen animals. I've been saying for years. 85 00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:02,133 Speaker 2: John Engleman, K pok, Now, what are you reckon about 86 00:04:02,213 --> 00:04:03,533 Speaker 2: pharmacy only for vapes? 87 00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:05,853 Speaker 7: I think the pharmacist skilled might have made some political 88 00:04:05,893 --> 00:04:11,253 Speaker 7: donations for I think it's not the greatest plan. I 89 00:04:11,253 --> 00:04:14,733 Speaker 7: think it puts people in a situation and pharmacies where 90 00:04:14,733 --> 00:04:16,613 Speaker 7: they're going to have to play catch up very quickly. 91 00:04:17,293 --> 00:04:18,133 Speaker 5: The problem we've. 92 00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:20,893 Speaker 7: Got here is there's also a massive amount of vapes 93 00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:24,733 Speaker 7: being imported that are about to become illegal or phased out, 94 00:04:25,093 --> 00:04:28,013 Speaker 7: and a lot of them are faulty duds. And there's 95 00:04:28,013 --> 00:04:29,733 Speaker 7: been an experience here where a lot of people have 96 00:04:29,813 --> 00:04:33,733 Speaker 7: been buying vapes from stores and tearing and opening the 97 00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:36,693 Speaker 7: packet up, turning it on, and then it starts bubbling 98 00:04:37,333 --> 00:04:41,893 Speaker 7: and fizzling like my distillery, and gets hotter and hotter 99 00:04:41,973 --> 00:04:45,773 Speaker 7: as the lithium battery starts to melt, they start to 100 00:04:45,853 --> 00:04:48,733 Speaker 7: really cook and burn and change the chemical structure of 101 00:04:48,813 --> 00:04:51,093 Speaker 7: the ingredients that are in there. And we know from 102 00:04:51,293 --> 00:04:53,493 Speaker 7: overheating things that we can do massive damage to our 103 00:04:53,573 --> 00:04:56,933 Speaker 7: lungs and the access that kids have got. All over 104 00:04:57,013 --> 00:04:59,173 Speaker 7: my street, in my neighborhood, all around every shop that 105 00:04:59,293 --> 00:05:02,373 Speaker 7: sells them, there's broken vapes, even on the fore court 106 00:05:02,373 --> 00:05:05,333 Speaker 7: at the pedro station. We need enforcement, We actually need 107 00:05:05,373 --> 00:05:08,613 Speaker 7: somebody just stop retailers from selling chunk. 108 00:05:09,133 --> 00:05:11,053 Speaker 2: So do you think you would support one part of 109 00:05:11,053 --> 00:05:14,093 Speaker 2: this legislation Johnny that says you know, single use vapes 110 00:05:14,413 --> 00:05:15,333 Speaker 2: know to that band? 111 00:05:15,773 --> 00:05:19,133 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I reckon, and definitely make them available so 112 00:05:19,213 --> 00:05:21,253 Speaker 7: people can continue to quit smoking. 113 00:05:22,253 --> 00:05:25,893 Speaker 5: Make them accessible. But as for this like candy. 114 00:05:25,573 --> 00:05:30,053 Speaker 7: Floss, watermelon, lemon squeeze, pebble over stuff, what are we 115 00:05:30,093 --> 00:05:34,533 Speaker 7: doing where we're holking children into vaping? And in my neighborhood, 116 00:05:34,573 --> 00:05:36,613 Speaker 7: the kids who are wedding school today are hiding in 117 00:05:36,653 --> 00:05:40,533 Speaker 7: the bus stop on the rain vaping. And this is 118 00:05:40,693 --> 00:05:43,613 Speaker 7: what's really gorinds my gears is the parents that are 119 00:05:43,613 --> 00:05:45,933 Speaker 7: allowing their teenagers to vape because they think it's better 120 00:05:45,973 --> 00:05:46,573 Speaker 7: than smoking. 121 00:05:46,933 --> 00:05:49,253 Speaker 2: Interesting too, Johnny, you point out the flavors because this 122 00:05:49,373 --> 00:05:51,813 Speaker 2: is also what they've done in Australia, which I support. 123 00:05:52,213 --> 00:05:54,533 Speaker 2: The vapes will have plane packaging, that's the first thing, 124 00:05:54,613 --> 00:05:57,773 Speaker 2: but like our cigarettes here, and flavors will be restricted, 125 00:05:57,813 --> 00:05:59,813 Speaker 2: so the only ones you'll be able to get are tobacco, 126 00:06:00,013 --> 00:06:00,893 Speaker 2: menthol and mint. 127 00:06:01,373 --> 00:06:03,653 Speaker 7: Be like RepA band where everything in the stores to 128 00:06:03,813 --> 00:06:04,533 Speaker 7: labeled bears. 129 00:06:05,013 --> 00:06:11,133 Speaker 2: The Highlight reel finished this sentence. James Cash is king 130 00:06:11,853 --> 00:06:14,933 Speaker 2: exactly well said, Hey, so it wasn't a jack up either. 131 00:06:15,013 --> 00:06:18,853 Speaker 2: I guess that where do I win some cash? You 132 00:06:18,893 --> 00:06:21,973 Speaker 2: get nothing? You know. I mean, we all live in 133 00:06:21,973 --> 00:06:23,973 Speaker 2: a world now of after pay. I love the tap 134 00:06:24,013 --> 00:06:26,733 Speaker 2: and go online shopping. Many people have oiled themselves of that. 135 00:06:27,453 --> 00:06:29,933 Speaker 2: But I guess, well, at least for me, I should 136 00:06:29,973 --> 00:06:33,013 Speaker 2: only speak for myself. There's been a mindset I suppose 137 00:06:33,093 --> 00:06:35,013 Speaker 2: that cash is on the way out. I haven't carried 138 00:06:35,013 --> 00:06:38,173 Speaker 2: cash forever. It's like it's just something I don't do. 139 00:06:38,493 --> 00:06:41,213 Speaker 2: You've now realized that you're not like everyone else, but 140 00:06:41,293 --> 00:06:43,373 Speaker 2: I still have this mindset that cash is on the 141 00:06:43,373 --> 00:06:46,733 Speaker 2: way out. Well, it's not true, because Susan Guthrie from 142 00:06:46,733 --> 00:06:50,973 Speaker 2: the Reserve Bank said currently there is nine billion dollars 143 00:06:51,053 --> 00:06:53,453 Speaker 2: worth of cash, that is notes and coins in the 144 00:06:53,493 --> 00:06:56,973 Speaker 2: system compared to ten years ago, that's almost double. Yeah, 145 00:06:57,253 --> 00:06:59,893 Speaker 2: So my question is I mean from a story on 146 00:06:59,933 --> 00:07:02,813 Speaker 2: oran Zed, there's a few quotes from various people they interviewed. 147 00:07:02,853 --> 00:07:05,813 Speaker 2: One person says he loves cash because he feels secure 148 00:07:06,413 --> 00:07:09,653 Speaker 2: with cash in his pocket. Others say carrying cash is 149 00:07:09,653 --> 00:07:11,653 Speaker 2: important to them as a mindset thing. If there's a 150 00:07:11,733 --> 00:07:15,973 Speaker 2: natural disaster earthquake, ye, cyclone, whatever, they go cash well, 151 00:07:16,293 --> 00:07:17,333 Speaker 2: I'll be able to get through this. 152 00:07:17,973 --> 00:07:20,693 Speaker 6: Well, there's also people who are on budgets and if 153 00:07:20,693 --> 00:07:23,413 Speaker 6: they've got the cash in their hand, they know how 154 00:07:23,453 --> 00:07:24,213 Speaker 6: much they've spent. 155 00:07:24,853 --> 00:07:28,453 Speaker 2: They can see it and touch it. That's funny, James, 156 00:07:28,453 --> 00:07:31,293 Speaker 2: because I'm one of these people. If I carry cash again, 157 00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:34,493 Speaker 2: it's just a mindset thing. I'll just spend it. I 158 00:07:34,613 --> 00:07:40,573 Speaker 2: am absolutely completely gobsmacked at how many texts we're getting 159 00:07:40,573 --> 00:07:43,493 Speaker 2: now from people saying they have two grand or more. Yeah, 160 00:07:43,733 --> 00:07:46,573 Speaker 2: it's like the movies. They've stored them behind paintings in 161 00:07:46,613 --> 00:07:51,213 Speaker 2: their houses, under mattresses. Wow, Jonathan, Welcome to the show. 162 00:07:51,373 --> 00:07:53,373 Speaker 8: My wife and I used to have a system we 163 00:07:53,453 --> 00:07:57,013 Speaker 8: actually learned from Dave Ramsey. He talks about a system 164 00:07:57,013 --> 00:07:58,813 Speaker 8: where you draw all your cash and you put them 165 00:07:58,813 --> 00:08:00,693 Speaker 8: into envelopes in different categories. 166 00:08:00,933 --> 00:08:02,373 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that's. 167 00:08:02,213 --> 00:08:05,613 Speaker 8: Where you're not able to overspend and it puts the 168 00:08:05,693 --> 00:08:07,533 Speaker 8: limits on how you spending in a month on a 169 00:08:07,533 --> 00:08:08,293 Speaker 8: particular item. 170 00:08:08,573 --> 00:08:08,693 Speaker 5: Ah. 171 00:08:08,773 --> 00:08:10,653 Speaker 2: So it's a budget try kind of restraint. 172 00:08:11,333 --> 00:08:12,853 Speaker 8: Yes, like a bunch of your kind of restraint. 173 00:08:12,973 --> 00:08:15,413 Speaker 10: So we were when we got married, we had. 174 00:08:15,373 --> 00:08:18,933 Speaker 8: Very different ideas of finance and how to spend and 175 00:08:19,493 --> 00:08:22,413 Speaker 8: who has more control so we drew money, we put 176 00:08:22,413 --> 00:08:25,253 Speaker 8: it in envelopes and we use that system to restrict 177 00:08:25,253 --> 00:08:28,013 Speaker 8: ourselves and we were able to save for our Hunster deposit. 178 00:08:28,773 --> 00:08:30,293 Speaker 10: Well, I think it's good to have a bit of cash. 179 00:08:30,373 --> 00:08:32,933 Speaker 10: You just don't even know what might happen. I think 180 00:08:32,933 --> 00:08:33,613 Speaker 10: it's a good idea. 181 00:08:33,813 --> 00:08:35,813 Speaker 2: So do you carry cash with you? Oh? 182 00:08:35,853 --> 00:08:36,053 Speaker 5: I do? 183 00:08:36,213 --> 00:08:38,133 Speaker 10: Yeah, I do, and I have cash at home as well. 184 00:08:38,413 --> 00:08:40,093 Speaker 10: How much a couple of hundred bucks? 185 00:08:40,173 --> 00:08:43,173 Speaker 2: And your prime reason for carrying the cash, Colin, When. 186 00:08:42,973 --> 00:08:45,973 Speaker 10: You pay for things with cash, you're less likely to 187 00:08:46,493 --> 00:08:48,853 Speaker 10: go and spend your money because you're pending out cash, 188 00:08:48,853 --> 00:08:50,773 Speaker 10: whereas if you've got a card and pay wave. If 189 00:08:50,813 --> 00:08:53,493 Speaker 10: you just do your card and it's easy. But when 190 00:08:53,493 --> 00:08:56,213 Speaker 10: you've got cash, you know, you think about it before 191 00:08:56,213 --> 00:08:58,373 Speaker 10: you go and buy something. It's another reason. But they're 192 00:08:58,413 --> 00:09:01,413 Speaker 10: working on a central bank digital currency, so that's eventually 193 00:09:01,453 --> 00:09:03,093 Speaker 10: going to come in and they'll get rid of cash. 194 00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:05,253 Speaker 2: I wonder if you're right on that score, Colin, the 195 00:09:05,293 --> 00:09:07,333 Speaker 2: way they'll do that. Yeah, thank you very much mate. 196 00:09:07,453 --> 00:09:10,813 Speaker 2: Quick text to finish this text. It just blows my mind. Hi, guys, 197 00:09:10,933 --> 00:09:13,733 Speaker 2: I have a safe and there is ten thousand dollars 198 00:09:13,893 --> 00:09:17,733 Speaker 2: cash in it. Now, it's a fireproof safe. Every house 199 00:09:17,773 --> 00:09:22,253 Speaker 2: should have one. I've just woofed down a protein bar 200 00:09:23,133 --> 00:09:25,933 Speaker 2: and I basically hoovered it up because we had the 201 00:09:25,973 --> 00:09:27,893 Speaker 2: show to do and I don't know eating while I'm working. 202 00:09:29,013 --> 00:09:32,053 Speaker 2: But it tasted like plastic. And you don't eat the 203 00:09:32,133 --> 00:09:35,093 Speaker 2: wrapping you No, it's just that I've been reading about 204 00:09:35,093 --> 00:09:39,293 Speaker 2: protein bars, and of course they're loaded with protein. Really, 205 00:09:40,013 --> 00:09:43,013 Speaker 2: if I don't have huge muscles by four o'clock, I'll 206 00:09:43,053 --> 00:09:46,573 Speaker 2: be very disappointed. Was it nice? No, it tasted like plastic. 207 00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:49,733 Speaker 2: Tasted like I said, chemocromes. And there's a big move 208 00:09:49,813 --> 00:09:52,853 Speaker 2: for people that are, you know, like trying to bulk up, 209 00:09:52,893 --> 00:09:56,653 Speaker 2: and big move to protein bars, and nutritionists are worried 210 00:09:56,693 --> 00:09:58,893 Speaker 2: because they're sort of seen as a food substitute, but 211 00:09:58,933 --> 00:10:01,013 Speaker 2: they're not. And I can see why that tastes like 212 00:10:01,013 --> 00:10:02,013 Speaker 2: I've just eaten a shoe. 213 00:10:02,053 --> 00:10:05,773 Speaker 6: Why don't you just eat protein? There's an idea, no, no, 214 00:10:05,773 --> 00:10:06,333 Speaker 6: no protein. 215 00:10:07,013 --> 00:10:09,053 Speaker 2: Well, it's hard to get that level of protein in 216 00:10:09,093 --> 00:10:13,493 Speaker 2: a quick hit, right, I have sure, I have you know, salmon, 217 00:10:13,573 --> 00:10:15,773 Speaker 2: a chin of salmon or what anyway, that's really boring. 218 00:10:15,813 --> 00:10:17,533 Speaker 2: But I've just eaten this thing and now it's sort 219 00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:20,853 Speaker 2: of it's wed somewhere between my chest and the bows 220 00:10:21,213 --> 00:10:25,893 Speaker 2: and it feels like molten plastic. So highly disappointing that 221 00:10:26,413 --> 00:10:29,333 Speaker 2: and two of my kids have got COVID for the 222 00:10:29,373 --> 00:10:34,653 Speaker 2: third time, for the third third greedy, and you haven't 223 00:10:34,653 --> 00:10:37,053 Speaker 2: even had it. I still haven't had it. I said, 224 00:10:37,133 --> 00:10:38,853 Speaker 2: keep those vermin kids away from me. 225 00:10:40,133 --> 00:10:46,413 Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Sion James. The Highlight Reel with 226 00:10:46,693 --> 00:10:47,573 Speaker 1: Sion James. 227 00:10:48,173 --> 00:10:51,893 Speaker 2: Christopher Luxon and Education Minister Erica Stanford have announced standardized 228 00:10:51,933 --> 00:10:54,933 Speaker 2: testing in primary schools. From twenty twenty five next year, 229 00:10:55,013 --> 00:10:57,373 Speaker 2: all children in their first year of school will have 230 00:10:57,413 --> 00:10:59,613 Speaker 2: the opportunity to run through a phonics check to help 231 00:10:59,653 --> 00:11:02,173 Speaker 2: teachers understand how well a child can read words by 232 00:11:02,213 --> 00:11:04,493 Speaker 2: sounding out the letters. So that's the first thing. It'll 233 00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:06,053 Speaker 2: be done at the twenty week mark and again at 234 00:11:06,053 --> 00:11:09,173 Speaker 2: the forty week mark. So that's obviously ostensibly to help 235 00:11:09,173 --> 00:11:12,573 Speaker 2: teachers identify and kind of offer maybe additional support where 236 00:11:12,653 --> 00:11:15,613 Speaker 2: kids need it. And then progression monitoring on reading, writing 237 00:11:15,613 --> 00:11:18,293 Speaker 2: and mask be also introduced for children in years three 238 00:11:18,333 --> 00:11:20,253 Speaker 2: through eight. That's what we're discussing. Is this a good 239 00:11:20,693 --> 00:11:23,853 Speaker 2: announcement today? A good initiative or do you have some 240 00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:26,653 Speaker 2: reservations about it? Right, let's go to the phones. Jane, 241 00:11:26,733 --> 00:11:28,773 Speaker 2: Hi there there, How are you doing that? Are you're 242 00:11:28,813 --> 00:11:31,813 Speaker 2: going well? Thank you? Agree or disagree with this announcement. 243 00:11:31,853 --> 00:11:35,733 Speaker 11: I agree. I come from a different probably look at it. 244 00:11:36,013 --> 00:11:40,013 Speaker 11: My thought is more from a governance perspective in schools 245 00:11:40,093 --> 00:11:43,893 Speaker 11: and that the boards to determine how we prioritize financing 246 00:11:43,933 --> 00:11:47,573 Speaker 11: in schools can identify with good testing where we need 247 00:11:47,613 --> 00:11:51,173 Speaker 11: to really invest in our comaha teachers and and our 248 00:11:51,213 --> 00:11:54,133 Speaker 11: students because without that really clear sift thing, yes, they 249 00:11:54,173 --> 00:11:56,933 Speaker 11: may known well what's going on in their classrooms, but 250 00:11:57,013 --> 00:11:59,933 Speaker 11: ideally we need to understand where are our resk students, 251 00:11:59,973 --> 00:12:02,453 Speaker 11: Where are those students that really need to be prioritized 252 00:12:02,813 --> 00:12:05,493 Speaker 11: so that they can get their resources and the help 253 00:12:05,533 --> 00:12:08,133 Speaker 11: that they need. And I think testing probably gives the 254 00:12:08,173 --> 00:12:10,653 Speaker 11: boards in the schools throughout New Zealand, all our wonderful 255 00:12:11,293 --> 00:12:15,253 Speaker 11: board trustees an idea of how they can actually help 256 00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:17,973 Speaker 11: within schools to elevate the learning of those for those 257 00:12:17,973 --> 00:12:19,093 Speaker 11: at risk students. 258 00:12:19,453 --> 00:12:22,973 Speaker 2: Good point. Actually, Jane eric Stanford has said specifically that 259 00:12:23,053 --> 00:12:25,933 Speaker 2: actually she said this testing will help teachers identify struggling 260 00:12:26,013 --> 00:12:29,093 Speaker 2: kids and provide parents with rich data regarding how their 261 00:12:29,133 --> 00:12:31,933 Speaker 2: children are doing. But how would that affect the finance 262 00:12:31,973 --> 00:12:34,213 Speaker 2: and finances? I mean, what can you petition through the 263 00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:36,413 Speaker 2: course of the year saying hey, look we need extra 264 00:12:36,493 --> 00:12:37,813 Speaker 2: resource here. Can you do that? 265 00:12:38,613 --> 00:12:42,333 Speaker 11: Absolutely, you can prioritize. You manage to identify a group 266 00:12:42,373 --> 00:12:44,653 Speaker 11: of students that are really struggling in a certain area. 267 00:12:44,733 --> 00:12:47,693 Speaker 11: You can help with extra feeds and starving with resources 268 00:12:47,693 --> 00:12:51,093 Speaker 11: for those students with extra support, you know, and boards 269 00:12:51,133 --> 00:12:53,693 Speaker 11: can do that. You know, their budgets and schools allow 270 00:12:53,773 --> 00:12:57,973 Speaker 11: them to support their fami like their principle to really 271 00:12:57,973 --> 00:13:00,573 Speaker 11: work in those areas that need extra help. And so 272 00:13:00,653 --> 00:13:04,053 Speaker 11: I guess that standardized testing probably just just a better picture. 273 00:13:04,173 --> 00:13:06,053 Speaker 11: We do get a bit of that now, but maybe 274 00:13:06,093 --> 00:13:08,693 Speaker 11: having more standardized means that there will be more unity 275 00:13:08,773 --> 00:13:12,853 Speaker 11: or more when they transition to the next school. There 276 00:13:12,893 --> 00:13:14,733 Speaker 11: is a little bit more consistency and how our kids 277 00:13:14,733 --> 00:13:15,293 Speaker 11: are performing. 278 00:13:15,693 --> 00:13:18,533 Speaker 2: That's a very interesting perspective, Jane, thanks for calling in. 279 00:13:18,653 --> 00:13:21,533 Speaker 2: Thanks Hi, Simon and James. Teachers by and large dislike 280 00:13:21,573 --> 00:13:24,933 Speaker 2: a national led government, as do unions. Sadly, rather than 281 00:13:24,973 --> 00:13:27,173 Speaker 2: doing what's best for the kids, A lot of teachers 282 00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:30,093 Speaker 2: seem to be still focused on themselves. Since the national 283 00:13:30,213 --> 00:13:32,973 Speaker 2: standards were dropped in twenty seventeen, it has been left 284 00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:36,453 Speaker 2: up to teachers in schools how to teach numeracy and literacy. 285 00:13:36,653 --> 00:13:39,093 Speaker 2: That was a bagbear of mind too. It seemed arbitrary. 286 00:13:39,773 --> 00:13:43,093 Speaker 2: The text goes on, my son dropped into the void 287 00:13:43,253 --> 00:13:45,893 Speaker 2: age nine. If I hadn't spent thirty to forty minutes 288 00:13:45,933 --> 00:13:48,253 Speaker 2: a day with him at home teaching him to read 289 00:13:48,293 --> 00:13:50,973 Speaker 2: and write, he would be struggling in high school. Says 290 00:13:51,013 --> 00:13:54,213 Speaker 2: Peter highlight Reel. There was a story today, very difficult 291 00:13:54,213 --> 00:13:57,533 Speaker 2: read actually about this Tope War family, and they really 292 00:13:57,533 --> 00:14:00,293 Speaker 2: have been torn apart, they say, by the actions of 293 00:14:00,293 --> 00:14:04,093 Speaker 2: a dangerous driver. And I think what has added very 294 00:14:04,173 --> 00:14:07,653 Speaker 2: much insult to injury for them at least is that 295 00:14:07,693 --> 00:14:09,813 Speaker 2: they believe the sentence handed down to the woman who 296 00:14:09,853 --> 00:14:13,373 Speaker 2: caused the deaths of Jeanine and Linda Ball was quote 297 00:14:13,453 --> 00:14:18,053 Speaker 2: unquote failure of the justice system. Kim Blakeney Williams pleaded 298 00:14:18,053 --> 00:14:20,533 Speaker 2: guilty to two charges of careless use of a motor 299 00:14:20,613 --> 00:14:23,893 Speaker 2: vehicle causing death. She was sentenced to one hundred and 300 00:14:23,933 --> 00:14:27,213 Speaker 2: fifty hours of community work. A twelvemonth loss of license, 301 00:14:27,573 --> 00:14:29,613 Speaker 2: and she was ordered to pay ten thousand dollars each 302 00:14:29,973 --> 00:14:33,093 Speaker 2: to the families of both the victims. There was an 303 00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:37,013 Speaker 2: outpouring I think of you know, language and stuff about rage. Yeah, 304 00:14:37,013 --> 00:14:40,133 Speaker 2: and that sentencing. In one comment I think I read 305 00:14:40,493 --> 00:14:44,533 Speaker 2: is that at Judge Tompkins said this during sentencing that 306 00:14:44,573 --> 00:14:47,773 Speaker 2: it was difficult to prove a high level of culpability 307 00:14:48,133 --> 00:14:50,693 Speaker 2: on the part of Blakeney Williams and said it was 308 00:14:50,933 --> 00:14:56,493 Speaker 2: likely she had fallen asleep momentarily before the crash. So 309 00:14:57,293 --> 00:15:01,013 Speaker 2: that's interesting in and of itself. But Francesca Hollingdale, she's 310 00:15:01,053 --> 00:15:04,493 Speaker 2: a family spokesperson, and she was talking of the deaths 311 00:15:04,533 --> 00:15:06,493 Speaker 2: of these two and she said, in my view and 312 00:15:06,533 --> 00:15:08,653 Speaker 2: the view of so many others, a vehicle as a weapon. 313 00:15:08,813 --> 00:15:10,733 Speaker 2: You have to have a license to operate a vehicle, 314 00:15:10,973 --> 00:15:12,413 Speaker 2: the same as you have to have a license to 315 00:15:12,453 --> 00:15:15,733 Speaker 2: operate a gun. Yet when you misuse these two things, 316 00:15:15,773 --> 00:15:20,293 Speaker 2: the consequences are so incredibly different. Which is a thoughtful piece. 317 00:15:21,213 --> 00:15:23,773 Speaker 2: So that's what we want to discuss. Should there be 318 00:15:24,253 --> 00:15:27,653 Speaker 2: a harsher sentence for falling asleep at the wheel? Should 319 00:15:27,733 --> 00:15:29,893 Speaker 2: the judge have put Kim Blakeney Williams in jail for 320 00:15:29,973 --> 00:15:33,293 Speaker 2: three years because she fell asleep. Yeah, it was understood 321 00:15:33,293 --> 00:15:35,573 Speaker 2: that that's what happened, can I Martin. 322 00:15:35,413 --> 00:15:38,973 Speaker 12: But I've been a lobbying for Pacific crowdsey driving legislation 323 00:15:39,053 --> 00:15:41,453 Speaker 12: for least ten years with the politicians. To someone that 324 00:15:41,493 --> 00:15:44,013 Speaker 12: picked up as private members built right, and I think 325 00:15:44,013 --> 00:15:48,253 Speaker 12: it's absolutely necessary to get this in place. I mean, 326 00:15:48,253 --> 00:15:52,133 Speaker 12: it's absolutely no different from someone basically drinking, but from 327 00:15:52,173 --> 00:15:54,493 Speaker 12: knowing that they've drunk a lot of alcohol and going 328 00:15:54,493 --> 00:15:57,373 Speaker 12: out on the road, or smoking a lot of pot 329 00:15:57,693 --> 00:15:59,853 Speaker 12: going out the road, or for that man of being 330 00:16:00,133 --> 00:16:00,813 Speaker 12: dog tired. 331 00:16:01,013 --> 00:16:03,533 Speaker 2: Alisa says, Guys, it was an accident. What did they 332 00:16:03,573 --> 00:16:05,853 Speaker 2: expect the sentence would be the family? I feel for them, 333 00:16:05,853 --> 00:16:09,293 Speaker 2: but what did they expect? Convicted pedophiles get home to detention. 334 00:16:09,613 --> 00:16:12,653 Speaker 2: You get five years for murder, says Alistair, get a term. 335 00:16:12,653 --> 00:16:15,253 Speaker 2: In your view, this woman should have been sent to jail. 336 00:16:15,293 --> 00:16:16,493 Speaker 11: I think she should have got manslaughter. 337 00:16:16,533 --> 00:16:17,813 Speaker 5: But I think there should be a category of the 338 00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:18,973 Speaker 5: hecular homicide or the. 339 00:16:19,093 --> 00:16:21,653 Speaker 7: Hecler manslaughter where there's certainly a novel nine ten, but 340 00:16:21,693 --> 00:16:23,213 Speaker 7: there's a disregard mate. 341 00:16:23,253 --> 00:16:25,373 Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We'll finished with this text it's 342 00:16:25,373 --> 00:16:27,613 Speaker 2: from a lawyer who's just text into the show. The 343 00:16:27,693 --> 00:16:30,693 Speaker 2: woman was charged with careless driving causing death, for which 344 00:16:30,733 --> 00:16:34,213 Speaker 2: the maximum penalty is only three months imprisonment. Where deliberate 345 00:16:34,333 --> 00:16:38,293 Speaker 2: bad driving is involved, the police can instead charge dangerous 346 00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:41,733 Speaker 2: driving causing death. Dangerous driving causing death has a maximum 347 00:16:41,733 --> 00:16:44,613 Speaker 2: ten years imprisonment in cases of carelessness, so. 348 00:16:44,653 --> 00:16:48,453 Speaker 6: This was careless driving causing death rather than dangerous. 349 00:16:47,973 --> 00:16:50,493 Speaker 2: Henceforth the light of sentence. Thank you very much for 350 00:16:50,533 --> 00:16:52,853 Speaker 2: taking the time to text us the best moments from 351 00:16:52,893 --> 00:16:53,173 Speaker 2: the week. 352 00:16:53,573 --> 00:16:56,813 Speaker 1: This is the highlight reel with Simon Barnett and James 353 00:16:56,933 --> 00:16:58,973 Speaker 1: Daniels cowered by newstalks empty. 354 00:16:59,493 --> 00:17:02,933 Speaker 2: As the government's message and the crackdown on truancy got through, 355 00:17:03,293 --> 00:17:05,893 Speaker 2: Flight Center data has shown that families with school aged 356 00:17:05,973 --> 00:17:08,493 Speaker 2: children choosing not to take their children out of school 357 00:17:08,733 --> 00:17:13,093 Speaker 2: to travel during school term bookings have dropped thirty percent, 358 00:17:13,493 --> 00:17:15,093 Speaker 2: which is when a lot of families were taking their 359 00:17:15,133 --> 00:17:16,413 Speaker 2: kids out because they say. 360 00:17:16,213 --> 00:17:21,693 Speaker 6: That until the government cracked down on truancy. Yeh in April, 361 00:17:21,693 --> 00:17:24,053 Speaker 6: when they said that they're going to introduce the traffic 362 00:17:24,093 --> 00:17:28,253 Speaker 6: light system of punishments for students and their parents, including 363 00:17:28,333 --> 00:17:31,493 Speaker 6: fines for parents and police referrals. 364 00:17:31,973 --> 00:17:36,093 Speaker 2: So the whole cheap airfare thing didn't suddenly have quite 365 00:17:35,733 --> 00:17:38,613 Speaker 2: the glitz and glamor the mystique that it once did. 366 00:17:39,133 --> 00:17:41,013 Speaker 2: They go on to say, this is the flight center. 367 00:17:41,253 --> 00:17:43,573 Speaker 2: What some customers are telling us is that many schools 368 00:17:43,573 --> 00:17:46,373 Speaker 2: across the country now have firm rules against taking kids 369 00:17:46,413 --> 00:17:49,613 Speaker 2: out of school for travel that is not deemed as crucial. 370 00:17:49,893 --> 00:17:52,693 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's interesting.

I want to 374 00:18:08,413 --> 00:18:13,213 Speaker 2: be in those families. So has the message got through? 375 00:18:13,493 --> 00:18:15,893 Speaker 2: Are you more reluctant to take your kids out of 376 00:18:15,893 --> 00:18:18,733 Speaker 2: school outside of the school holidays, to go on a 377 00:18:18,773 --> 00:18:22,213 Speaker 2: holiday to take advantage of cheaper affairs given these you know, 378 00:18:22,253 --> 00:18:23,653 Speaker 2: this crackdown.

You're listening to 444 00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:34,093 Speaker 1: the Highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels, powered 445 00:21:34,093 --> 00:21:35,213 Speaker 1: by news Talks the'd Be. 446 00:21:35,493 --> 00:21:38,213 Speaker 2: Chris Bishop announced a slew of changes to New Zealand's 447 00:21:38,213 --> 00:21:41,733 Speaker 2: planning laws, and of course a number of these have 448 00:21:41,893 --> 00:21:44,493 Speaker 2: proved to be and are proving to be quite controversial. 449 00:21:44,853 --> 00:21:47,933 Speaker 2: So the Government's going to abolish council's ability to set 450 00:21:48,093 --> 00:21:51,093 Speaker 2: fixed urban rural boundaries. In other words, that kind of 451 00:21:51,133 --> 00:21:54,413 Speaker 2: basically flood the planes with the land available to develop. 452 00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:56,813 Speaker 2: And they'll also abolish the powers and this is what 453 00:21:56,853 --> 00:21:58,573 Speaker 2: we want to hone in on. They're going to abolish 454 00:21:58,573 --> 00:22:01,573 Speaker 2: the powers that let counsels mandate whether a property needs 455 00:22:01,573 --> 00:22:04,973 Speaker 2: a balcony, so that's a side issue. And also they'll 456 00:22:05,013 --> 00:22:08,453 Speaker 2: abolish powers that let count consuls set a minimum floor 457 00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:09,653 Speaker 2: area for a development. 458 00:22:09,933 --> 00:22:14,213 Speaker 6: So in this instance, size does not matter to this government. 459 00:22:14,573 --> 00:22:17,133 Speaker 6: And I have to say I'm actually on board with 460 00:22:17,213 --> 00:22:20,453 Speaker 6: this thing because I think it's just about the market 461 00:22:20,533 --> 00:22:22,853 Speaker 6: determining what will be sold. 462 00:22:22,933 --> 00:22:25,173 Speaker 2: And so you think if a developer goes in there says, look, 463 00:22:25,173 --> 00:22:28,733 Speaker 2: I'm going to build forty twenty square meter apartments, you 464 00:22:28,773 --> 00:22:31,213 Speaker 2: think the market will determine whether or not they're sellable. Yeah, 465 00:22:31,653 --> 00:22:34,573 Speaker 2: Chris Biship did front foot that, and he said, and 466 00:22:34,613 --> 00:22:38,053 Speaker 2: I quote, people often complain to me about all these 467 00:22:38,093 --> 00:22:41,053 Speaker 2: shoe box apartments, and I agree that they won't be 468 00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,853 Speaker 2: the right housing solution for everyone. But you know what 469 00:22:43,973 --> 00:22:47,053 Speaker 2: is smaller than a shoe box apartment a car or 470 00:22:47,093 --> 00:22:49,893 Speaker 2: an emergency housing motel room. But the thing is that 471 00:22:50,093 --> 00:22:52,893 Speaker 2: people who are living in cars are not likely to 472 00:22:52,893 --> 00:22:55,973 Speaker 2: be able to get a deposit for a home. Let's 473 00:22:56,053 --> 00:22:59,493 Speaker 2: be honest. I wonder too, with the increasing number of 474 00:22:59,573 --> 00:23:02,493 Speaker 2: immigrants to our country, they might be more familiar with 475 00:23:02,533 --> 00:23:05,693 Speaker 2: smaller apartments, and so maybe these things at thirty square 476 00:23:05,693 --> 00:23:09,533 Speaker 2: meters will sell. Text here says you're on crack, you guys. 477 00:23:09,693 --> 00:23:12,293 Speaker 2: I will go out and buy ten small flats and 478 00:23:12,333 --> 00:23:15,213 Speaker 2: rent them out. I will make it killing. Nobody will 479 00:23:15,213 --> 00:23:18,053 Speaker 2: buy them to live in. Calls coming in here, thick 480 00:23:18,133 --> 00:23:20,773 Speaker 2: and fast.

When it comes to 492 00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:55,093 Speaker 9: whether or not it's good property stock for New Zealand, 493 00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:58,213 Speaker 9: I think, you know, from my experience, people feel a 494 00:23:58,213 --> 00:24:00,173 Speaker 9: lot of pressure and they're going to buy a home, 495 00:24:00,333 --> 00:24:02,773 Speaker 9: it's a lot of money, a lot of expense. They 496 00:24:02,813 --> 00:24:06,133 Speaker 9: want to feel confidence while they're buying, and often marketing 497 00:24:06,173 --> 00:24:09,893 Speaker 9: and what's impressioning on them from the environment around them 498 00:24:09,973 --> 00:24:12,373 Speaker 9: has a big influence to that. So I think if 499 00:24:12,373 --> 00:24:15,173 Speaker 9: we do bring a lot of this into New Zealand, 500 00:24:15,213 --> 00:24:17,173 Speaker 9: people will buy it, whether or not it's good. 501 00:24:16,973 --> 00:24:17,533 Speaker 5: For them or not. 502 00:24:18,093 --> 00:24:20,733 Speaker 9: But the profit and the wealth goes to develop its 503 00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:23,293 Speaker 9: I think there should be a bit more ownership on 504 00:24:23,693 --> 00:24:26,853 Speaker 9: their end as to what sort of homes that we're 505 00:24:26,853 --> 00:24:29,413 Speaker 9: putting into our country. I think we want our properties 506 00:24:29,413 --> 00:24:33,853 Speaker 9: to look beautiful forever, you know, not be big cement 507 00:24:33,933 --> 00:24:35,853 Speaker 9: block apartments right now. 508 00:24:35,933 --> 00:24:38,373 Speaker 2: I totally hear your reservations. Thank you, Jeremy for taking 509 00:24:38,373 --> 00:24:40,293 Speaker 2: the time to phone us. I guess the thing is, 510 00:24:40,413 --> 00:24:43,253 Speaker 2: I wonder if just the way the world is now, 511 00:24:43,413 --> 00:24:45,973 Speaker 2: it's an expectation. I've certainly got it in this country. 512 00:24:46,053 --> 00:24:48,413 Speaker 2: I think, you know, we used to have the quarteracor 513 00:24:48,453 --> 00:24:50,373 Speaker 2: dream right. Well, I don't think people think that anymore, 514 00:24:50,373 --> 00:24:52,493 Speaker 2: which is why there's been all this infilling of homes 515 00:24:52,653 --> 00:24:55,013 Speaker 2: in every city. There was a couple of generations ago, though, 516 00:24:56,413 --> 00:24:59,213 Speaker 2: but there's still the mindset of New Zealanders is you 517 00:24:59,293 --> 00:25:03,493 Speaker 2: have some lawn. Yeah, you know, you have a fence. Yeah, 518 00:25:03,573 --> 00:25:06,813 Speaker 2: well that stuff, but it is changing front lawn in 519 00:25:06,933 --> 00:25:09,493 Speaker 2: many parts of the world now, apartment living is that 520 00:25:09,733 --> 00:25:12,413 Speaker 2: there's never an expectation to even own your own home. Ever, 521 00:25:13,013 --> 00:25:15,333 Speaker 2: so if we have to have smaller apartments, people can 522 00:25:15,413 --> 00:25:19,093 Speaker 2: still own them. That's better than renting text here, says 523 00:25:19,373 --> 00:25:21,093 Speaker 2: I Reckon. This could also be great for people who 524 00:25:21,093 --> 00:25:24,613 Speaker 2: don't mind having a smaller place but can be mortgage free. Sooner. 525 00:25:25,093 --> 00:25:28,893 Speaker 1: The Highlight Reel with Simon Barnett and James Daniels available 526 00:25:28,933 --> 00:25:30,693 Speaker 1: worldwide on iHeartRadio. 527 00:25:31,093 --> 00:25:38,053 Speaker 2: We admire athletes when there's extreme athleticism, prowess, prodigious talent, 528 00:25:38,133 --> 00:25:40,893 Speaker 2: and you go, wow, you admire them, you respect them. 529 00:25:41,133 --> 00:25:43,893 Speaker 2: In some cases we idolize them, which I think is 530 00:25:43,893 --> 00:25:45,573 Speaker 2: personally wrong. Withe you go, that's just me being a 531 00:25:45,573 --> 00:25:48,693 Speaker 2: blue nose wowser. But then there are other sports that 532 00:25:49,213 --> 00:25:53,893 Speaker 2: are captivating for a whole different reason and you can't 533 00:25:53,973 --> 00:25:59,013 Speaker 2: really explain why. One such sport is the sport of powerslapping. Now, 534 00:25:59,053 --> 00:26:03,893 Speaker 2: if you haven't heard of powerslapping, it's kind of like, well, 535 00:26:03,933 --> 00:26:06,573 Speaker 2: it's violent. Dana White is the main man behind that. 536 00:26:06,613 --> 00:26:09,013 Speaker 2: He started the UFC, the Ultimate Fight Club, which a 537 00:26:09,053 --> 00:26:11,053 Speaker 2: lot of people love, a lot of people loathe, kind 538 00:26:11,053 --> 00:26:14,533 Speaker 2: of an equal measure and this is very brutal. This 539 00:26:14,613 --> 00:26:17,533 Speaker 2: is an aspect of UFC kind of condensed into bite 540 00:26:17,533 --> 00:26:21,893 Speaker 2: sized moments. So what you do? Two slappers, as it were, 541 00:26:21,973 --> 00:26:26,853 Speaker 2: these at their slappers are the literally slappers. They face 542 00:26:26,893 --> 00:26:29,653 Speaker 2: off over a podium. They look like they're on rhyds 543 00:26:29,853 --> 00:26:32,053 Speaker 2: and they each take turns to slap each other as 544 00:26:32,093 --> 00:26:35,493 Speaker 2: hard as they can over three to five rounds. And 545 00:26:35,533 --> 00:26:37,613 Speaker 2: the hoper is the dream is you knock your opponent 546 00:26:37,653 --> 00:26:42,213 Speaker 2: out cold, that's on or in the face, open hand Yep. 547 00:26:42,453 --> 00:26:44,813 Speaker 2: They do have fowls clubbings of fowl where the slap 548 00:26:44,853 --> 00:26:48,333 Speaker 2: fisting wraps around the back of the head fisting. Well, 549 00:26:48,413 --> 00:26:51,093 Speaker 2: you can't, You've got to have your hand open. Yeah, 550 00:26:51,173 --> 00:26:52,493 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I don't think it's called that. 551 00:26:52,493 --> 00:26:52,853 Speaker 5: That was it. 552 00:26:54,093 --> 00:26:57,453 Speaker 2: I don't know. You're the one who's calling me. Yeah, 553 00:26:57,453 --> 00:26:59,413 Speaker 2: I don't think it's that, mate.

It's the anticipation. 560 00:27:21,813 --> 00:27:24,093 Speaker 2: Unlike most sports, you don't know what's coming here, you do. 561 00:27:24,133 --> 00:27:26,213 Speaker 2: You put your arms by your side and you sided 562 00:27:26,333 --> 00:27:30,293 Speaker 2: like I'm grimacing and clenching, waiting for it everything.
