So we went to bed at 14 00:00:39,653 --> 00:00:42,373 Speaker 2: five o'clock local time, bather by the time we got 15 00:00:42,653 --> 00:00:44,773 Speaker 2: the boys down and kind of had a shower and everything, 16 00:00:45,093 --> 00:00:46,413 Speaker 2: and then we got up, and of course, you know, 17 00:00:46,453 --> 00:00:48,133 Speaker 2: with jet LaGG you're supposed to go outside and get 18 00:00:48,133 --> 00:00:50,333 Speaker 2: a bit of sunshine, but Marnie fell asleep on me. 19 00:00:50,773 --> 00:00:54,093 Speaker 2: So my wife and her parents and our eight year 20 00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:56,013 Speaker 2: old ended up going out for a couple of hours 21 00:00:56,613 --> 00:01:00,253 Speaker 2: and I stayed home with my wife's great girl, with 22 00:01:00,373 --> 00:01:04,013 Speaker 2: my wife's grandparents. So our boys great grandparents who are 23 00:01:04,373 --> 00:01:07,773 Speaker 2: very Persian, speak very little and they're in their nineties 24 00:01:08,053 --> 00:01:11,253 Speaker 2: and so we had this amazing couple of hours connecting 25 00:01:11,293 --> 00:01:14,773 Speaker 2: on the couch with their great grandson. It's just, honestly, 26 00:01:15,373 --> 00:01:18,613 Speaker 2: it's like just so special, you know, and and not 27 00:01:18,733 --> 00:01:23,933 Speaker 2: to lean into the copupper of Mataikei unnecessarily, but I think, 28 00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:26,253 Speaker 2: you know, being together at this time of year is 29 00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:29,013 Speaker 2: one of the core kind of copapper behind Mattaducky. So 30 00:01:29,133 --> 00:01:31,333 Speaker 2: it was kind of special that we're able to travel 31 00:01:31,333 --> 00:01:35,133 Speaker 2: across the world and see, you know, family in this way. 32 00:01:35,173 --> 00:01:37,093 Speaker 2: It really is.

But yeah, I'm a big fan 44 00:02:14,293 --> 00:02:16,773 Speaker 2: and love that that it's a long weekend, that it 45 00:02:16,813 --> 00:02:18,293 Speaker 2: doesn't fall in the middle of the week. If you're 46 00:02:18,293 --> 00:02:19,933 Speaker 2: going to have a public holiday, there's no point having 47 00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:21,493 Speaker 2: it on a Wednesday. You might as well make it 48 00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:24,533 Speaker 2: a long weekend. So yeah, that's very much a big 49 00:02:24,573 --> 00:02:26,413 Speaker 2: fan of Matadiki and I think a lot of people 50 00:02:26,413 --> 00:02:28,453 Speaker 2: will be enjoying it this weekend. And Kevin, you've been 51 00:02:28,453 --> 00:02:31,373 Speaker 2: impressed this week by a local TV show. 52 00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:34,693 Speaker 4: Well, after questioning last week with the New Zealand TV 53 00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:38,733 Speaker 4: companies are running out of original ideas, I then discover 54 00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:42,933 Speaker 4: Diary of a Junior Doctor. I stumbled onto it and 55 00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:45,893 Speaker 4: it was a third episode this week on TV and 56 00:02:45,973 --> 00:02:49,253 Speaker 4: said it was so compelling. I went back and watched 57 00:02:49,293 --> 00:02:53,133 Speaker 4: the first two diary. Diary of a Junior Doctor sounds 58 00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:55,373 Speaker 4: a bit like a soap and if there's anything wrong 59 00:02:55,413 --> 00:02:57,853 Speaker 4: with it this program, I think it's the name of 60 00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:00,773 Speaker 4: the of the show, but it's far from the soap. 61 00:03:01,173 --> 00:03:04,373 Speaker 4: Cameras followed the lives of five or six junior doctors 62 00:03:04,733 --> 00:03:09,013 Speaker 4: as a transition from students to real doctors working with 63 00:03:09,133 --> 00:03:14,973 Speaker 4: real people. In the Caudron that's Awkland's Middlemore Hospital. You know, 64 00:03:15,333 --> 00:03:18,853 Speaker 4: I haven't seen the sort of documentary done so well 65 00:03:19,613 --> 00:03:21,933 Speaker 4: as someone who's directed the odd documentary. 66 00:03:22,053 --> 00:03:24,293 Speaker 3: I'm left wondering, how did. 67 00:03:24,133 --> 00:03:27,813 Speaker 4: The producers get access to so much of what's going 68 00:03:27,853 --> 00:03:30,373 Speaker 4: on in Middlemore? How did they get the okay to 69 00:03:30,453 --> 00:03:36,333 Speaker 4: film patients and crisis emergency births, critically injured accident victims. 70 00:03:36,813 --> 00:03:39,893 Speaker 4: Maybe the director was allowed to film cut blanche as 71 00:03:39,933 --> 00:03:42,413 Speaker 4: long as it was all approved later. I can't think 72 00:03:42,453 --> 00:03:46,733 Speaker 4: of another way it was done. Whatever the scenes are compelling, 73 00:03:47,013 --> 00:03:51,133 Speaker 4: I found myself asking more questions. How did the producers 74 00:03:51,173 --> 00:03:54,293 Speaker 4: convince these bright young doctors to be filmed at such 75 00:03:54,333 --> 00:03:58,013 Speaker 4: a critical time in their careers. They've got enough on 76 00:03:58,053 --> 00:04:02,493 Speaker 4: their shoulders without having cameras looking over. But it wasn't 77 00:04:02,613 --> 00:04:06,093 Speaker 4: luck that probably the most talented of all the junior 78 00:04:06,093 --> 00:04:09,453 Speaker 4: doctors also happened to have an all black boyfriend, who 79 00:04:09,493 --> 00:04:12,293 Speaker 4: I think they've now and got engaged, who's also. 80 00:04:12,133 --> 00:04:15,973 Speaker 3: Happy to be filmed. The doctor will surely. 81 00:04:16,013 --> 00:04:19,893 Speaker 4: Increase the public's admiration for doctors a stress three young ones, 82 00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:23,293 Speaker 4: but I'm not so sure Jack, that will encourage more 83 00:04:23,293 --> 00:04:27,053 Speaker 4: bright young school students to apply for med school. Let's 84 00:04:27,093 --> 00:04:30,173 Speaker 4: hope it does, but blind me that job of a 85 00:04:30,293 --> 00:04:36,453 Speaker 4: junior doctor looks bloody scary anyway. Congratulations to Kiwi Production 86 00:04:36,573 --> 00:04:41,733 Speaker 4: House storymaker and producer director Rachel Curry for the remarkable 87 00:04:41,813 --> 00:04:45,933 Speaker 4: stories and insights in Diary of a Junior Doctor. And 88 00:04:45,973 --> 00:04:49,453 Speaker 4: can I also just add I sort of feel a 89 00:04:49,453 --> 00:04:52,533 Speaker 4: bit silly really haven't criticized the lack of good ideas 90 00:04:53,373 --> 00:04:55,093 Speaker 4: and I've been many said this for a week. What 91 00:04:55,213 --> 00:05:01,533 Speaker 4: a terrific series Endangered Species at Roya was Nicola Toke 92 00:05:01,773 --> 00:05:03,853 Speaker 4: and Baxter study brilliant? 93 00:05:03,933 --> 00:05:06,813 Speaker 2: I totally agree. Yeah, they are outstanding there to such 94 00:05:06,813 --> 00:05:09,333 Speaker 2: an unlikely peer as well, but you know, they do 95 00:05:09,453 --> 00:05:11,813 Speaker 2: such a good job. I kind of love the good 96 00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:14,133 Speaker 2: cop bad cop vibe they have, you know, when they 97 00:05:14,133 --> 00:05:16,893 Speaker 2: go out into nature together. But yeah, you're spot on 98 00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:19,053 Speaker 2: about Diary of a Junior Doctor as well. I mean 99 00:05:19,093 --> 00:05:21,453 Speaker 2: I wondered the same thing. You know, as someone who's 100 00:05:21,533 --> 00:05:24,773 Speaker 2: worked in TV for a couple of decades now you think, 101 00:05:24,893 --> 00:05:27,973 Speaker 2: oh my goodness, I know what health New Zealanders like 102 00:05:28,053 --> 00:05:30,693 Speaker 2: to you know, to work with, and I just can't 103 00:05:30,733 --> 00:05:32,453 Speaker 2: imagine what it's like to go to them and say, hey, 104 00:05:32,493 --> 00:05:35,493 Speaker 2: can we just have cameras rolling the whole time. But 105 00:05:35,573 --> 00:05:38,693 Speaker 2: it's compelling. It's really compelling in such important stories. And 106 00:05:38,693 --> 00:05:40,213 Speaker 2: I think, you know, so often when it comes to 107 00:05:40,253 --> 00:05:43,573 Speaker 2: health stuff, we know about the you know, we hear 108 00:05:43,613 --> 00:05:46,013 Speaker 2: the kind of theory of things, we hear the news reporting, right, 109 00:05:46,053 --> 00:05:48,933 Speaker 2: but to actually see it firsthand, to get a visceral 110 00:05:49,013 --> 00:05:51,813 Speaker 2: kind of perspective of what it's like on the frontline 111 00:05:51,813 --> 00:05:54,413 Speaker 2: of our health system, I think it's just so so 112 00:05:54,613 --> 00:05:57,573 Speaker 2: valuable and it's really compelling. So yeah, well, well see, Kevin, 113 00:05:57,573 --> 00:05:59,533 Speaker 2: who's your pick for the Super Rugby Final tonight? 114 00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:06,733 Speaker 4: I don't know, Actually I don't know, And it's a 115 00:06:06,773 --> 00:06:08,053 Speaker 4: tough call, brutally honest. 116 00:06:08,293 --> 00:06:10,173 Speaker 3: More, it's the warrious fantas game. 117 00:06:10,853 --> 00:06:13,053 Speaker 2: Ah, spoken like a Hurricanes fan. 118 00:06:13,213 --> 00:06:18,133 Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, Kevin, Yeah, yeah, you know what, sometimes it's 119 00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:20,053 Speaker 5: a great pleader in sport to actually watch a really 120 00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:22,653 Speaker 5: good game, a high stakes game, when you have no 121 00:06:22,733 --> 00:06:25,733 Speaker 5: skin in it, you know, when it doesn't bother it 122 00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:27,653 Speaker 5: doesn't bother you who's going to come out on top? 123 00:06:27,733 --> 00:06:28,533 Speaker 2: Sometimes that can be a. 124 00:06:28,453 --> 00:06:31,813 Speaker 3: Great exactly, that's quite right.
