We want to talk about Robert Irwin. 79 00:03:46,733 --> 00:03:49,172 Speaker 3: He has done quite a sixy photoshoot. 80 00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:51,373 Speaker 2: That's right. It's got a shirt off, you know, Robert. 81 00:03:51,413 --> 00:03:54,773 Speaker 2: He's the son of Steve Irwin. He's in great shape, 82 00:03:54,813 --> 00:03:57,253 Speaker 2: he's taken a shirt off, he's got a python around 83 00:03:57,333 --> 00:04:02,333 Speaker 2: his neck, and he has been objectified up the wazoo 84 00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:07,333 Speaker 2: by a woman all across Australia, which has caused another 85 00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:09,813 Speaker 2: woman to say that this disgusting and hypocritical and that 86 00:04:09,853 --> 00:04:13,973 Speaker 2: we shouldn't be objectifying men if we are objectifying woman. 87 00:04:14,653 --> 00:04:18,253 Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Should we should we 88 00:04:18,293 --> 00:04:21,653 Speaker 2: be objectifying anyone? My personal view as men don't mind 89 00:04:21,653 --> 00:04:25,893 Speaker 2: being objectified, some woman don't mind being objectified, I'm sure 90 00:04:25,893 --> 00:04:29,133 Speaker 2: as well. But should it just be a blanken roll? 91 00:04:29,173 --> 00:04:31,333 Speaker 2: If we've decided in society that we don't say those 92 00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:33,933 Speaker 2: kind of things that they are saying about Robert Irwin. 93 00:04:33,933 --> 00:04:36,493 Speaker 2: If we don't say that about woman, then should we 94 00:04:36,533 --> 00:04:38,533 Speaker 2: not be saying about old Robbie there? 95 00:04:38,613 --> 00:04:40,293 Speaker 3: Yep, that that is going to be a good. 96 00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:42,893 Speaker 2: If he doesn't want to get objectified, I'd say, don't 97 00:04:42,933 --> 00:04:45,533 Speaker 2: pose with your shirt off and a python around your neck. Yeah, 98 00:04:46,013 --> 00:04:46,813 Speaker 2: because it seems to. 99 00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:49,133 Speaker 3: Be that was going to be pretty rauchy. Seems to 100 00:04:49,173 --> 00:04:53,613 Speaker 3: me that's what you wanted, very provocative out toiler. That 101 00:04:53,653 --> 00:04:55,893 Speaker 3: is after two o'clock right now. Let's have a chat 102 00:04:55,893 --> 00:04:58,773 Speaker 3: about school board. So the Education Minister, Erica Stamford, is 103 00:04:58,813 --> 00:05:01,293 Speaker 3: looking to sit and stone what a school's ultimate goal 104 00:05:01,373 --> 00:05:05,173 Speaker 3: should be. Erica Stamford is introducing this bill requiring boards 105 00:05:05,213 --> 00:05:09,373 Speaker 3: to have attendance management plans. It includes mending school board 106 00:05:09,413 --> 00:05:13,093 Speaker 3: objectives to make educational achievement the ultimate goal. Here's a 107 00:05:13,093 --> 00:05:15,173 Speaker 3: little bit of what she said to my classk in 108 00:05:15,173 --> 00:05:15,533 Speaker 3: this morning. 109 00:05:15,573 --> 00:05:18,133 Speaker 6: Schools are all self managing entities, and the boards are 110 00:05:18,173 --> 00:05:21,733 Speaker 6: the ones who have the power and the control. And 111 00:05:21,773 --> 00:05:22,773 Speaker 6: it depends on board. 112 00:05:23,133 --> 00:05:24,133 Speaker 7: You have some boards who do. 113 00:05:24,173 --> 00:05:28,573 Speaker 6: An excellent job, who make sure that schools are assessing 114 00:05:28,613 --> 00:05:32,013 Speaker 6: their children. They get copies of that assessment. They make 115 00:05:32,053 --> 00:05:33,613 Speaker 6: sure that their schools are on track. I mean, I've 116 00:05:33,653 --> 00:05:36,853 Speaker 6: seen some excellent strategic plans and excellent annual reports where 117 00:05:36,893 --> 00:05:41,653 Speaker 6: schools are tracking student achievement very well. Other schools just 118 00:05:41,693 --> 00:05:44,413 Speaker 6: don't have the quality of people who are putting themselves 119 00:05:44,453 --> 00:05:46,693 Speaker 6: forward for the boards. Who don't do has got a job. 120 00:05:46,773 --> 00:05:49,293 Speaker 6: So what we will try to do, I think, in future, 121 00:05:49,373 --> 00:05:51,853 Speaker 6: is try and get some standardization across board so that 122 00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:54,413 Speaker 6: they are looking at the same things and reporting on 123 00:05:54,453 --> 00:05:57,173 Speaker 6: the same things in the same way, because at the moment, 124 00:05:57,253 --> 00:06:00,693 Speaker 6: schools all report on completely different things in different ways. 125 00:06:00,813 --> 00:06:03,253 Speaker 3: So that makes a lot of sense, right, standardizing how 126 00:06:03,293 --> 00:06:05,173 Speaker 3: a board of trustees operates. 127 00:06:05,693 --> 00:06:08,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to admit when I heard that morning 128 00:06:08,773 --> 00:06:11,493 Speaker 2: this chat, I didn't realize how much school boards done. 129 00:06:11,693 --> 00:06:14,133 Speaker 2: And I've had two sons that have gone through three schools, 130 00:06:14,413 --> 00:06:16,453 Speaker 2: and at no point have I ever run my head 131 00:06:16,493 --> 00:06:18,733 Speaker 2: across the school board and what they've done. But when 132 00:06:18,773 --> 00:06:22,133 Speaker 2: you look at the power that they have, policies and procedures, 133 00:06:22,293 --> 00:06:26,493 Speaker 2: planning for the future, employing school staff, complying with the law, 134 00:06:26,533 --> 00:06:29,733 Speaker 2: managing budgets, they do a lot and they have a 135 00:06:29,773 --> 00:06:33,173 Speaker 2: lot of power as school board, and they are varied, 136 00:06:33,293 --> 00:06:36,853 Speaker 2: obviously depending on the members. You can get on your board. 137 00:06:37,173 --> 00:06:40,773 Speaker 2: The quality of the school boards. So I don't know, 138 00:06:41,613 --> 00:06:44,093 Speaker 2: how can someone like me go right through the school 139 00:06:44,133 --> 00:06:47,213 Speaker 2: system with their kids and not have any idea about 140 00:06:47,213 --> 00:06:50,413 Speaker 2: the school board? Is that the experience of a lot 141 00:06:50,453 --> 00:06:53,373 Speaker 2: of people. I think I saw some emails saying do 142 00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,533 Speaker 2: you want to vote in the school board elections? 143 00:06:55,573 --> 00:06:55,973 Speaker 3: And did you? 144 00:06:56,173 --> 00:06:59,573 Speaker 2: I ignored them, Yep, yep. And look, I wasn't a checked 145 00:06:59,573 --> 00:07:03,293 Speaker 2: out member of school. I coached sports teams, you know, 146 00:07:03,413 --> 00:07:06,533 Speaker 2: I helped out at fears, I did all kinds. 147 00:07:06,573 --> 00:07:09,293 Speaker 3: So you were involved in the school community extent. But 148 00:07:09,493 --> 00:07:11,773 Speaker 3: I mean that raises the wider question to those out 149 00:07:11,813 --> 00:07:13,693 Speaker 3: there listening right now who have been a part of 150 00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:16,133 Speaker 3: a school board, what is it like? How many hours 151 00:07:16,213 --> 00:07:17,893 Speaker 3: you have to put into it? Do you get paid? 152 00:07:18,733 --> 00:07:22,973 Speaker 3: And I believe they are responsible for employing the principal. 153 00:07:22,653 --> 00:07:27,413 Speaker 2: Right yeah, and they employ employing all staff, all school staff. 154 00:07:27,453 --> 00:07:30,973 Speaker 2: The board and who's on the school board. Community representatives 155 00:07:31,053 --> 00:07:34,653 Speaker 2: are elected by parents, a staff elected representative, the principals 156 00:07:34,653 --> 00:07:36,773 Speaker 2: on there are a student represented if the school has 157 00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:41,373 Speaker 2: students in year nine and above, representatives of the school's owners. 158 00:07:41,413 --> 00:07:45,613 Speaker 2: If the board is for a state integrated school, So 159 00:07:45,893 --> 00:07:49,493 Speaker 2: good good boards, bad boards?

Board members, kids get preferential treatment, 287 00:14:26,973 --> 00:14:30,933 Speaker 2: They help their principal bully staff, even when there is 288 00:14:30,933 --> 00:14:34,213 Speaker 2: a substantive evidence of bullying. They have no idea what 289 00:14:34,333 --> 00:14:36,493 Speaker 2: is going on. They always fall back on that we 290 00:14:36,573 --> 00:14:40,293 Speaker 2: are only volunteers. Bs. They're not up to it, and 291 00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:42,653 Speaker 2: they think they're better than other parents. They think they're 292 00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:44,493 Speaker 2: better than the rest of us. That's from Jan. 293 00:14:44,613 --> 00:14:48,013 Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, quite a bit of trauma with a school board. 294 00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,093 Speaker 3: Here you go, Jan, thank you very much. Joe eight 295 00:14:50,093 --> 00:14:52,093 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number call. 296 00:14:52,093 --> 00:14:53,933 Speaker 3: It's twenty two past one. 297 00:14:54,213 --> 00:14:58,653 Speaker 1: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the Mike asking Breakfast. 298 00:14:58,173 --> 00:15:00,693 Speaker 12: Asia business correspond to Peter Lewis Withers, but one forty 299 00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,853 Speaker 12: five for China? Is that a completely separate thing? That 300 00:15:03,893 --> 00:15:06,693 Speaker 12: will unfold in its own way or because of China 301 00:15:06,813 --> 00:15:07,293 Speaker 12: is China. 302 00:15:07,413 --> 00:15:08,453 Speaker 2: We're all in this toge. 303 00:15:08,613 --> 00:15:10,773 Speaker 13: I think in some ways we're all in this together 304 00:15:10,893 --> 00:15:14,133 Speaker 13: because what happens to the Chinese economy perfects the rest 305 00:15:14,173 --> 00:15:18,813 Speaker 13: of Asia. About fifteen percent of China's economy depends upon exports. 306 00:15:18,893 --> 00:15:22,053 Speaker 13: Around fifteen percent of that goes to the US, So 307 00:15:22,093 --> 00:15:24,893 Speaker 13: this could easily shave off a couple of percent off 308 00:15:24,893 --> 00:15:27,813 Speaker 13: of China's GDP because when tariff's at one hundred and 309 00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:31,532 Speaker 13: forty five percent, trade between those two countries has come 310 00:15:31,613 --> 00:15:32,613 Speaker 13: to a complete. 311 00:15:32,213 --> 00:15:35,853 Speaker 12: Hawseback Monday from six am the mic Asking Breakfast with 312 00:15:35,933 --> 00:15:38,293 Speaker 12: Maybe's real Estate Newstalk zeb. 313 00:15:38,533 --> 00:15:41,973 Speaker 3: Afternoon, we're talking about school boards on the back of 314 00:15:42,013 --> 00:15:45,932 Speaker 3: the Education Minister. She wants to see some changes implemented 315 00:15:46,013 --> 00:15:51,013 Speaker 3: with standardization across how those boards operate. Text tiar guys. 316 00:15:51,013 --> 00:15:52,932 Speaker 3: I once served on a school board and it was 317 00:15:53,013 --> 00:15:58,133 Speaker 3: incredibly difficult experience. There were personal relationships involved, including family members, 318 00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:01,653 Speaker 3: and even are fears that was a complete mess. This 319 00:16:01,773 --> 00:16:04,333 Speaker 3: is good. I strongly believe the board needs to be 320 00:16:04,373 --> 00:16:07,133 Speaker 3: replaced with individuals who genuinely have the skills and vision 321 00:16:07,213 --> 00:16:10,853 Speaker 3: to move our school board. Rather than settling for whoether 322 00:16:10,933 --> 00:16:13,733 Speaker 3: is available from a limited pool, especially when some have 323 00:16:13,813 --> 00:16:14,613 Speaker 3: their own agendas. 324 00:16:14,853 --> 00:16:17,412 Speaker 2: Yeah, this business is I get about four hundred a 325 00:16:17,493 --> 00:16:19,133 Speaker 2: year to be on the board. This is to cover 326 00:16:19,213 --> 00:16:23,973 Speaker 2: travel expenses, babysitters, et cetera for each meeting.

If the people on the board don't know 356 00:17:45,973 --> 00:17:51,893 Speaker 14: what hat they're wearing, parent hat, board member hat they speak, 357 00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:55,413 Speaker 14: then they'll be conflict because the boards looking at the 358 00:17:55,413 --> 00:17:59,213 Speaker 14: whole school. The parents rightly so looking at their child, 359 00:17:59,613 --> 00:18:02,933 Speaker 14: so they should actually be excused from that meeting while 360 00:18:03,093 --> 00:18:06,813 Speaker 14: while they have a difference being discussed, If that makes 361 00:18:06,813 --> 00:18:08,333 Speaker 14: any sense. 362 00:18:08,413 --> 00:18:10,253 Speaker 2: We're getting a lot of people coming through Mark that 363 00:18:10,373 --> 00:18:14,333 Speaker 2: are saying that they believe that their child got treated 364 00:18:14,453 --> 00:18:18,973 Speaker 2: unfairly because another a person on the board's child was involved. 365 00:18:19,013 --> 00:18:23,053 Speaker 2: So that was preferential treatment to the children of people 366 00:18:23,053 --> 00:18:23,573 Speaker 2: on the board. 367 00:18:24,733 --> 00:18:28,733 Speaker 14: And parents will always feel that if their child gets 368 00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:31,573 Speaker 14: a speeding ticket, the police probably targeted them. 369 00:18:33,133 --> 00:18:34,653 Speaker 3: Speaking absolutely on the. 370 00:18:34,773 --> 00:18:37,933 Speaker 14: Phone, well, it's the problem of the police officer who 371 00:18:37,973 --> 00:18:41,293 Speaker 14: was looking in the window of the car. That's what 372 00:18:41,333 --> 00:18:42,533 Speaker 14: we're like, is a society. 373 00:18:42,853 --> 00:18:45,093 Speaker 3: Was there any rules in place Mark that you had 374 00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:47,653 Speaker 3: to have some of the board made up by parents, 375 00:18:47,653 --> 00:18:51,133 Speaker 3: some outside just good community members who didn't have children 376 00:18:51,133 --> 00:18:53,173 Speaker 3: at the school, and then people like yourself who was 377 00:18:53,173 --> 00:18:54,413 Speaker 3: a staff representative. 378 00:18:55,533 --> 00:18:59,213 Speaker 14: Yes, and the biggest task that a principle has is 379 00:18:59,293 --> 00:19:02,773 Speaker 14: getting the right people on the seat in the bus. 380 00:19:02,813 --> 00:19:05,773 Speaker 14: And I was the right board members in place. It's 381 00:19:05,813 --> 00:19:06,853 Speaker 14: a miserable job. 382 00:19:07,013 --> 00:19:09,013 Speaker 3: What was that? Sorry, just on that and I didn't 383 00:19:09,013 --> 00:19:11,853 Speaker 3: ask that with much clarity, But what was the split 384 00:19:11,933 --> 00:19:14,733 Speaker 3: between parents on the board and those who did not 385 00:19:14,733 --> 00:19:15,533 Speaker 3: have children. 386 00:19:15,253 --> 00:19:15,693 Speaker 1: At the school? 387 00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:24,333 Speaker 14: A probably sefty seventy right, Okay, I don't have the 388 00:19:24,373 --> 00:19:26,173 Speaker 14: exact number, it. 389 00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:30,373 Speaker 2: I can I can tell you. Yeah, there's a helpful 390 00:19:30,773 --> 00:19:35,733 Speaker 2: diagram at the at the school board elections dot org 391 00:19:35,773 --> 00:19:38,733 Speaker 2: dot NZ love a good diagram. I'll get that to you. 392 00:19:38,813 --> 00:19:40,133 Speaker 2: Might take a couple of minutes to get that out. 393 00:19:40,133 --> 00:19:41,733 Speaker 3: And what we find that, I mean, the reason I'm 394 00:19:41,773 --> 00:19:45,293 Speaker 3: asking this mark is is it almost seems it can 395 00:19:45,333 --> 00:19:47,653 Speaker 3: be a conflict of interest. I understand why it can 396 00:19:47,693 --> 00:19:50,013 Speaker 3: have benefits as well, because a parent will be involved 397 00:19:50,053 --> 00:19:53,013 Speaker 3: in making sure that the school and the children they 398 00:19:53,053 --> 00:19:55,293 Speaker 3: can they've got the tools there to get the best 399 00:19:55,293 --> 00:19:57,773 Speaker 3: out of them. But also, as you mentioned the conflict 400 00:19:57,773 --> 00:20:02,813 Speaker 3: of interest angle is clearly underlying in all of that. 401 00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:08,053 Speaker 14: Well, if I can, the most misunderstood thing is why 402 00:20:08,573 --> 00:20:11,453 Speaker 14: the school there? What's it there for? 403 00:20:11,573 --> 00:20:12,293 Speaker 5: What's what? 404 00:20:13,493 --> 00:20:17,853 Speaker 14: And the education mister is clarifying this, I hope. And 405 00:20:18,413 --> 00:20:21,893 Speaker 14: are we there to affect the social dynamics of New 406 00:20:22,053 --> 00:20:25,813 Speaker 14: Zealed or are we there to ensure that students thrive. 407 00:20:27,413 --> 00:20:30,613 Speaker 14: Once you've sorted out why you're there, then all these 408 00:20:30,693 --> 00:20:34,493 Speaker 14: discussions and conflicts can be put into a context. 409 00:20:35,853 --> 00:20:38,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's what Erica Stanford is saying, 410 00:20:38,213 --> 00:20:42,133 Speaker 2: that that the primarily the primary goal. And I I 411 00:20:42,173 --> 00:20:43,893 Speaker 2: had the exact things she said in front of me, 412 00:20:44,533 --> 00:20:49,453 Speaker 2: I might do. Actually she's a bit of amim so 413 00:20:49,773 --> 00:20:53,813 Speaker 2: amending school board detectives to make educational achievement the ultimate goal? 414 00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,893 Speaker 2: Is that what you're talking about? That so every board 415 00:20:56,973 --> 00:21:01,813 Speaker 2: knows that educational achievement is the ultimate goal of the 416 00:21:01,853 --> 00:21:03,533 Speaker 2: school board in terms of the school. 417 00:21:04,373 --> 00:21:08,253 Speaker 14: Every board you should know, I would maintain their problem 418 00:21:08,493 --> 00:21:13,333 Speaker 14: we don't and otherwise and then be data and forked 419 00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:18,133 Speaker 14: what will make the biggest difference on students learning and 420 00:21:18,293 --> 00:21:20,333 Speaker 14: chase that and. 421 00:21:20,253 --> 00:21:22,773 Speaker 2: So you know, we're just talking to a caller before 422 00:21:22,853 --> 00:21:24,933 Speaker 2: who said they did a lot of work on getting 423 00:21:24,973 --> 00:21:29,573 Speaker 2: a playground in there. Yep, and playgrounds could fall into 424 00:21:29,573 --> 00:21:34,133 Speaker 2: that sort of remit of, you know, educational and achievement 425 00:21:34,173 --> 00:21:35,013 Speaker 2: being the ultimate goal. 426 00:21:36,013 --> 00:21:39,613 Speaker 14: Yes and no. It depends whether we're sorry about that one. 427 00:21:39,893 --> 00:21:43,653 Speaker 14: It depends what you can do with your playground. It's 428 00:21:43,693 --> 00:21:48,453 Speaker 14: been shown overseas that outdoor learning is one of the 429 00:21:48,493 --> 00:21:52,093 Speaker 14: best things to involve in your in your trial in 430 00:21:52,253 --> 00:21:56,133 Speaker 14: students learning, and we've got a generation of kids who 431 00:21:56,213 --> 00:22:02,973 Speaker 14: don't play outdoors now that increases students learning. But if 432 00:22:03,013 --> 00:22:04,893 Speaker 14: you've just got a playground for the sake of a 433 00:22:04,973 --> 00:22:09,973 Speaker 14: playground and benefit in your office and others, so does 434 00:22:10,013 --> 00:22:13,333 Speaker 14: the maths class go out into the playground and use 435 00:22:13,413 --> 00:22:16,572 Speaker 14: the playground as part of what they're teaching so that 436 00:22:16,613 --> 00:22:21,693 Speaker 14: they can teachualize the topic they're teaching. Does that make sense? 437 00:22:21,813 --> 00:22:22,693 Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. 438 00:22:23,173 --> 00:22:25,293 Speaker 14: In that place, the playground is going to be a 439 00:22:25,333 --> 00:22:29,093 Speaker 14: great thing. Getting kids dirty. I used to have kids, 440 00:22:29,813 --> 00:22:33,573 Speaker 14: the five year old kids.

What she's doing. 507 00:26:09,493 --> 00:26:12,173 Speaker 5: I actually my wife's detect and she had an opportunity 508 00:26:12,173 --> 00:26:13,493 Speaker 5: to go along and listened to her, and I sent 509 00:26:13,533 --> 00:26:15,933 Speaker 5: her along and she came back just buzzing. I think 510 00:26:15,933 --> 00:26:18,373 Speaker 5: she's got the right idea with what they're looking to do. 511 00:26:18,613 --> 00:26:20,773 Speaker 5: The difficulty is it's a bit like the MPs we 512 00:26:20,893 --> 00:26:24,093 Speaker 5: saw in Parliament yesterday and the people that go on 513 00:26:24,173 --> 00:26:26,373 Speaker 5: the council. Anybody could really put their name for it, 514 00:26:26,413 --> 00:26:28,933 Speaker 5: and if they get voted on, they're voted on. So 515 00:26:29,773 --> 00:26:33,333 Speaker 5: I guess the quality of the candidates is really important. 516 00:26:33,453 --> 00:26:36,693 Speaker 5: So whether the principal's going out into the community are 517 00:26:36,693 --> 00:26:40,133 Speaker 5: looking for opportunities to get people on with sort of 518 00:26:40,133 --> 00:26:41,733 Speaker 5: skill sets are going to benefit the school. 519 00:26:41,893 --> 00:26:42,493 Speaker 2: That was really the. 520 00:26:42,493 --> 00:26:43,053 Speaker 14: Case with us. 521 00:26:43,133 --> 00:26:46,813 Speaker 5: We had an HR and family lawyer, we had a 522 00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:50,013 Speaker 5: business owner, we had a banker, and we had an accountant. 523 00:26:50,093 --> 00:26:54,613 Speaker 5: And our prime purpose and as the chair, was how 524 00:26:54,653 --> 00:26:58,613 Speaker 5: can we make school benefit everyka And if you have 525 00:26:58,693 --> 00:27:01,733 Speaker 5: that single in front of you, our job was to 526 00:27:01,813 --> 00:27:07,373 Speaker 5: manage the school finances and planning and strategic plans and 527 00:27:08,093 --> 00:27:12,253 Speaker 5: you know, recruitment of quality teachers and then the teaching 528 00:27:12,293 --> 00:27:16,093 Speaker 5: side it's really over to the specialists who are the principals, DPS, 529 00:27:16,733 --> 00:27:20,292 Speaker 5: team leaders and the stuff. And that was the basis 530 00:27:20,333 --> 00:27:24,773 Speaker 5: on which we operated. We had disagreements on things at times, 531 00:27:24,813 --> 00:27:27,173 Speaker 5: but I guess as a chair my job was then 532 00:27:27,253 --> 00:27:30,893 Speaker 5: to make sure that we got to a consensus decision 533 00:27:32,253 --> 00:27:33,573 Speaker 5: for the better of the kids. 534 00:27:33,613 --> 00:27:36,413 Speaker 2: So, Steve, when you say make things better for every 535 00:27:36,493 --> 00:27:40,413 Speaker 2: kid in the school, is that educational achievement that you're 536 00:27:40,453 --> 00:27:41,293 Speaker 2: talking about is better? 537 00:27:42,733 --> 00:27:43,333 Speaker 8: Primarily? 538 00:27:43,733 --> 00:27:46,653 Speaker 2: Erkri Stanford said that educational achievement should be the ultimate 539 00:27:46,693 --> 00:27:48,333 Speaker 2: goal of the board. 540 00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:51,693 Speaker 5: Hotally, and the educational achievement doesn't mean everybody getting to 541 00:27:51,773 --> 00:27:54,973 Speaker 5: one standard. That means your kids that are struggling, what 542 00:27:54,973 --> 00:27:58,133 Speaker 5: can we do to make their time at school better 543 00:27:58,893 --> 00:28:01,693 Speaker 5: so they can come out with something that's going to 544 00:28:01,733 --> 00:28:03,773 Speaker 5: take them into their life. And then you have your 545 00:28:03,813 --> 00:28:06,933 Speaker 5: really bright kids who are obviously more capable. It's about 546 00:28:06,973 --> 00:28:11,253 Speaker 5: trying to touch every child, give them the best opportunity, 547 00:28:11,293 --> 00:28:14,333 Speaker 5: and if some of them need more resources and more time, 548 00:28:15,013 --> 00:28:17,373 Speaker 5: then that's what we did. In fact, what we did 549 00:28:17,453 --> 00:28:19,813 Speaker 5: is we we managed to save enough money that we 550 00:28:19,893 --> 00:28:23,733 Speaker 5: employed an extra teacher to give release so that the 551 00:28:23,893 --> 00:28:26,453 Speaker 5: kids who are struggling, had more time one on one 552 00:28:26,573 --> 00:28:31,853 Speaker 5: or on lower numbers to try and a system. Yeah, 553 00:28:31,893 --> 00:28:35,053 Speaker 5: it's you're always you know these stories about affairs and 554 00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:38,093 Speaker 5: families and people wanting good influence. I mean, boy, I'm 555 00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:39,613 Speaker 5: obviously missed out on their board because we. 556 00:28:39,573 --> 00:28:40,053 Speaker 2: Had none of that. 557 00:28:40,133 --> 00:28:42,093 Speaker 3: But make it good soap drama, wouldn't that. 558 00:28:45,293 --> 00:28:47,533 Speaker 5: It does come down to people's attitudes and if people 559 00:28:47,573 --> 00:28:50,333 Speaker 5: think it's a status symbol, then they're probably not doing 560 00:28:50,333 --> 00:28:53,333 Speaker 5: it for the right reasons. And it's very hard to control. 561 00:28:53,453 --> 00:28:55,293 Speaker 5: Like I'm saying, people can put their name for it, 562 00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:56,653 Speaker 5: but the parents do vote. 563 00:28:57,453 --> 00:29:00,653 Speaker 2: So when it when it comes to the election, Steve, 564 00:29:01,013 --> 00:29:04,293 Speaker 2: do you do people run campaigns or is it just 565 00:29:04,293 --> 00:29:06,213 Speaker 2: just suit out there in an email. 566 00:29:08,453 --> 00:29:11,053 Speaker 5: All that I worked at in the number around the area. 567 00:29:11,253 --> 00:29:14,173 Speaker 5: You basically just a little by on yourself about your 568 00:29:14,213 --> 00:29:17,373 Speaker 5: background and then why you wanted to go on the board. 569 00:29:17,413 --> 00:29:18,933 Speaker 5: So what were you what was the purpose of you 570 00:29:19,013 --> 00:29:21,253 Speaker 5: going on? What you're trying to achieve by being a 571 00:29:21,253 --> 00:29:21,773 Speaker 5: board members? 572 00:29:21,853 --> 00:29:24,053 Speaker 2: So we're to be frowned upon if someone's door knocking 573 00:29:24,573 --> 00:29:28,133 Speaker 2: or individually emailing appearance and on a. 574 00:29:28,133 --> 00:29:32,213 Speaker 5: Car, that's to me, that's just going way too far. 575 00:29:32,253 --> 00:29:32,493 Speaker 2: Away. 576 00:29:32,973 --> 00:29:34,933 Speaker 5: You know, if you walk into a primary school, we're 577 00:29:34,933 --> 00:29:39,093 Speaker 5: dealing with five to eleven year olds. These are the 578 00:29:39,133 --> 00:29:43,173 Speaker 5: are the future of the world. They're not tainted by anything. 579 00:29:43,373 --> 00:29:46,453 Speaker 5: They don't know what racism means, that what, you know, 580 00:29:46,453 --> 00:29:48,373 Speaker 5: all these negative things that we have as adults in 581 00:29:48,413 --> 00:29:50,853 Speaker 5: the world. So we've got to keep their eyes bright 582 00:29:51,053 --> 00:29:53,533 Speaker 5: and and that's who we were representing. And that was 583 00:29:53,533 --> 00:29:55,613 Speaker 5: the thing that I came back to all the time 584 00:29:55,973 --> 00:29:58,373 Speaker 5: when we're making decisions. Is it the right thing to 585 00:29:58,413 --> 00:29:59,173 Speaker 5: do for the kids? 586 00:29:59,533 --> 00:29:59,973 Speaker 2: Just for me? 587 00:30:00,813 --> 00:30:01,013 Speaker 5: You know? 588 00:30:01,493 --> 00:30:04,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, just in terms of getting the best candidates you can. 589 00:30:04,213 --> 00:30:07,693 Speaker 3: Would money help that along, Steve, because that is always 590 00:30:07,733 --> 00:30:11,333 Speaker 3: the argument local body right and central government and any 591 00:30:11,453 --> 00:30:13,453 Speaker 3: role where you want the best of the best. Their 592 00:30:13,973 --> 00:30:16,893 Speaker 3: remuneration is a big part of it. Would that help 593 00:30:16,893 --> 00:30:20,173 Speaker 3: it all getting good people on school boards? 594 00:30:19,453 --> 00:30:23,053 Speaker 5: I'm not so sure. I got seventy five dollars as 595 00:30:23,093 --> 00:30:25,653 Speaker 5: chairman a meeting and the others got fifty, and that 596 00:30:25,773 --> 00:30:29,293 Speaker 5: was just an allowance to cover your time. The chairman 597 00:30:29,413 --> 00:30:32,333 Speaker 5: does the most work, you know, I guess I was 598 00:30:32,333 --> 00:30:35,773 Speaker 5: passionate about it as well. But the cha chairmen works 599 00:30:35,773 --> 00:30:39,653 Speaker 5: directly with the principle, and I'm not so sure, because 600 00:30:39,653 --> 00:30:41,653 Speaker 5: then you might get people doing it for the wrong reasons. 601 00:30:43,413 --> 00:30:45,653 Speaker 2: People are doing it for money, that might be that 602 00:30:45,733 --> 00:30:48,213 Speaker 2: make it a weird, a little bit tainted. 603 00:30:48,533 --> 00:30:51,293 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's not what volunteers do. Volunteers out of 604 00:30:51,333 --> 00:30:53,693 Speaker 5: the goodness of their heart want to help make something better. 605 00:30:54,013 --> 00:30:57,453 Speaker 2: Yeah. And did you ever have trouble getting enough volunteers, 606 00:30:57,533 --> 00:30:59,613 Speaker 2: enough people that are willing to do it for basically 607 00:30:59,693 --> 00:31:02,013 Speaker 2: no money, just you know, a couple of expenses. Thinkers 608 00:31:02,093 --> 00:31:03,493 Speaker 2: covered it not on. 609 00:31:03,493 --> 00:31:06,133 Speaker 5: Our board because I guess we when we had people 610 00:31:06,213 --> 00:31:09,053 Speaker 5: leaving the board, we went and tried to sort of 611 00:31:09,093 --> 00:31:11,693 Speaker 5: identify people we thought would be and that wasn't friends 612 00:31:11,773 --> 00:31:13,573 Speaker 5: or it was just what to get we've got on 613 00:31:13,613 --> 00:31:17,973 Speaker 5: the board in terms of knowledge, and we may create 614 00:31:18,053 --> 00:31:20,733 Speaker 5: a great relationship. You talking about the Parent Teachers Association 615 00:31:20,813 --> 00:31:23,653 Speaker 5: that were the home and schools. They can be in 616 00:31:23,693 --> 00:31:28,973 Speaker 5: issues that they are a much more political group from 617 00:31:28,973 --> 00:31:30,813 Speaker 5: my experience. But what we did is we just co 618 00:31:30,893 --> 00:31:33,093 Speaker 5: opted the chairman of that group onto our board. So 619 00:31:34,013 --> 00:31:36,533 Speaker 5: we shared lots of stuff at a high level with them, 620 00:31:36,573 --> 00:31:39,093 Speaker 5: which they kept confidential, but it kept them in the 621 00:31:39,093 --> 00:31:42,853 Speaker 5: loop because they were the fundraising and the drive to 622 00:31:42,933 --> 00:31:45,013 Speaker 5: get you know if you want the new playground or whatever. 623 00:31:45,133 --> 00:31:47,373 Speaker 5: They were the people that were generating the money, and 624 00:31:47,453 --> 00:31:50,293 Speaker 5: it made them feel part of the bigger picture, so 625 00:31:50,333 --> 00:31:53,733 Speaker 5: we didn't have so much animosity between the two organizations. 626 00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:56,493 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for you call, Steve. I appreciate that. 627 00:31:57,013 --> 00:31:58,773 Speaker 2: Here's a text I want to be on a school 628 00:31:58,813 --> 00:32:00,333 Speaker 2: I wanted to be on the school board for my 629 00:32:00,373 --> 00:32:02,973 Speaker 2: kids who are accused of bullying, which they weren't the kid. 630 00:32:03,013 --> 00:32:04,973 Speaker 2: They had made it up. It didn't get on the 631 00:32:04,973 --> 00:32:09,573 Speaker 2: board because the principle made up lies turn parents against me. 632 00:32:10,373 --> 00:32:11,333 Speaker 2: School Boards are corrupt. 633 00:32:11,773 --> 00:32:13,013 Speaker 3: Well great fixed. 634 00:32:13,333 --> 00:32:14,173 Speaker 2: There's a lot of stories. 635 00:32:14,213 --> 00:32:16,293 Speaker 3: It has a lot of scandal behind the old school board.

But he's about to tell one. 645 00:32:41,693 --> 00:32:43,893 Speaker 2: I do remember one meeting. We were halfway through the 646 00:32:43,893 --> 00:32:46,053 Speaker 2: meeting when the board chairman called the holts of the 647 00:32:46,093 --> 00:32:48,213 Speaker 2: meeting and said they needed to have a break outside. 648 00:32:48,533 --> 00:32:51,173 Speaker 2: One of the female board members went outside too. The 649 00:32:51,213 --> 00:32:53,893 Speaker 2: rest of us sat there as time went on. Finally 650 00:32:54,053 --> 00:32:56,133 Speaker 2: we went outside to see where they were. They were 651 00:32:56,173 --> 00:32:58,093 Speaker 2: now to be seen, so we called an end to 652 00:32:58,133 --> 00:33:00,413 Speaker 2: the meeting.

That's an interesting one. There's 717 00:36:37,653 --> 00:36:40,173 Speaker 2: a text here from John I know that what that 718 00:36:40,253 --> 00:36:42,652 Speaker 2: guy means about politics on school boards. I tried to 719 00:36:42,693 --> 00:36:44,933 Speaker 2: get on our local school board as I live right 720 00:36:44,973 --> 00:36:47,453 Speaker 2: next to the school. But the excuse given was I 721 00:36:47,493 --> 00:36:49,853 Speaker 2: didn't have a vested interest because I didn't have any 722 00:36:49,933 --> 00:36:52,013 Speaker 2: kids at the school. But I live right next door, 723 00:36:52,213 --> 00:36:54,293 Speaker 2: I am part of the local community. And also there 724 00:36:54,293 --> 00:36:55,893 Speaker 2: was a lawyer and an accountant who are on the 725 00:36:55,933 --> 00:36:58,413 Speaker 2: board and they didn't have kids on the school board 726 00:36:58,893 --> 00:37:00,773 Speaker 2: at the school either. But it was okay for them, 727 00:37:00,813 --> 00:37:02,533 Speaker 2: but not for me. I mean, do you really want 728 00:37:02,573 --> 00:37:04,533 Speaker 2: the person that lives right next to the school on 729 00:37:04,573 --> 00:37:08,253 Speaker 2: the board just complaining about every tennis. 730 00:37:07,933 --> 00:37:12,573 Speaker 3: Boardly, what a nightmare. And this one from Marca get guys. 731 00:37:12,613 --> 00:37:14,653 Speaker 3: I was on board for twenty years over three schools 732 00:37:14,653 --> 00:37:18,293 Speaker 3: as an old boy representative ex farmer. The young professionals 733 00:37:18,293 --> 00:37:20,893 Speaker 3: came in pushing their kids to be prefects, et cetera. 734 00:37:21,093 --> 00:37:23,213 Speaker 3: And when they finished university it's all on their CV. 735 00:37:23,293 --> 00:37:27,973 Speaker 3: It was absolute byes private school in Hawk's Bay. Never again. 736 00:37:28,053 --> 00:37:31,253 Speaker 3: It is a little bit corrupt. It is eight minutes to. 737 00:37:31,253 --> 00:37:36,933 Speaker 1: Do Matt Heath, Tyler Adams taking your calls on eight 738 00:37:37,013 --> 00:37:39,413 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Anyone that joins the board or 743 00:37:48,013 --> 00:37:50,053 Speaker 2: PTA for their child is there for the wrong reasons. 744 00:37:50,093 --> 00:37:51,933 Speaker 2: I spent twenty eight years on ptas and boards and 745 00:37:51,973 --> 00:37:54,693 Speaker 2: all roles, including quite a few as chairmen, always asked 746 00:37:54,693 --> 00:37:57,613 Speaker 2: to join, never trying to get on, and the single 747 00:37:57,653 --> 00:38:01,252 Speaker 2: biggest issue every single time was parents who believed their 748 00:38:01,333 --> 00:38:04,733 Speaker 2: child was more important than the other kids. Many times 749 00:38:04,773 --> 00:38:07,133 Speaker 2: made decisions that weren't the best for my children, but 750 00:38:07,213 --> 00:38:10,133 Speaker 2: were the best for the school as a whole. I mean, 751 00:38:10,133 --> 00:38:12,493 Speaker 2: that's like when you're the coach of the cricket team 752 00:38:12,573 --> 00:38:15,973 Speaker 2: and you're umpiring and your son gets a plumb LBW 753 00:38:16,173 --> 00:38:17,652 Speaker 2: on the back foot right in front of little stuff. 754 00:38:17,653 --> 00:38:19,373 Speaker 3: We've all seen it, some people have done it. 755 00:38:19,533 --> 00:38:22,533 Speaker 2: You don't put your finger up, No, It's impossible for 756 00:38:22,613 --> 00:38:26,172 Speaker 2: a kid to get an LBW when dad's dad's. 757 00:38:25,893 --> 00:38:28,813 Speaker 3: Umpiring as it should be this one quickly. All boards 758 00:38:28,853 --> 00:38:31,693 Speaker 3: sign a conflict of interest register and that is the 759 00:38:31,733 --> 00:38:34,053 Speaker 3: biggest thing to avoid in governance. School Boards are the 760 00:38:34,093 --> 00:38:35,692 Speaker 3: biggest conflict of interest out there. 761 00:38:36,053 --> 00:38:38,493 Speaker 2: And finally, I haven't been on a school board, but 762 00:38:38,533 --> 00:38:40,493 Speaker 2: it was on a surfboard for a while but didn't 763 00:38:40,533 --> 00:38:43,733 Speaker 2: work out. I fell off, So there you go. But 764 00:38:43,813 --> 00:38:46,213 Speaker 2: I know, I think most people surely would agree that 765 00:38:46,213 --> 00:38:50,293 Speaker 2: school board's objectives are to make educational achievement the ultimate goal. 766 00:38:51,133 --> 00:38:53,533 Speaker 2: So that's what Erica Stanford is pushing for. 767 00:38:53,653 --> 00:38:57,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, great discussion, thank you very much.

Here are some of them. 830 00:41:59,053 --> 00:42:01,733 Speaker 20: What a great day to have eyes? I shouldn't like 831 00:42:01,773 --> 00:42:04,053 Speaker 20: what I see right? This one from a woman called Heather. 832 00:42:04,453 --> 00:42:07,253 Speaker 20: What bowler constrictor are we looking at? Another one from 833 00:42:07,253 --> 00:42:10,213 Speaker 20: a woman called Angie. We all watched his dad dangle 834 00:42:10,293 --> 00:42:12,493 Speaker 20: him in front of a croc. Now he's dangling his 835 00:42:12,613 --> 00:42:15,693 Speaker 20: snake in front of everyone. Another one from Veronica. I 836 00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:18,533 Speaker 20: would let you put a spider on me, Christy Robert, 837 00:42:18,573 --> 00:42:20,893 Speaker 20: I think I'm now a cougar? Is that a species 838 00:42:20,973 --> 00:42:22,333 Speaker 20: you can handle? Ranza? 839 00:42:22,693 --> 00:42:23,133 Speaker 3: Why not? 840 00:42:23,253 --> 00:42:25,652 Speaker 20: Now I'm ovulating now? 841 00:42:25,933 --> 00:42:26,493 Speaker 2: Yeah. 842 00:42:26,653 --> 00:42:27,613 Speaker 14: The reason why. 843 00:42:27,453 --> 00:42:30,212 Speaker 20: I have a particular issue with these comments is that, 844 00:42:30,293 --> 00:42:33,933 Speaker 20: in this pursuit of so called gender equality, and how 845 00:42:34,573 --> 00:42:38,333 Speaker 20: appalling it is for men to objectify women, Why is 846 00:42:38,373 --> 00:42:43,613 Speaker 20: it okay by today's standards to objectify men if we 847 00:42:43,693 --> 00:42:46,252 Speaker 20: are all in pursuit of gender equality, et cetera? Why 848 00:42:46,253 --> 00:42:50,093 Speaker 20: do the double standards apply here? Why do the way 849 00:42:50,133 --> 00:42:53,812 Speaker 20: that we comment about women get criticized, but the way 850 00:42:53,853 --> 00:42:57,893 Speaker 20: that we comment about men get celebrated and accepted. 851 00:42:59,253 --> 00:43:02,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is interesting, So can you objectify me 852 00:43:02,053 --> 00:43:04,933 Speaker 2: in eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number. 853 00:43:05,533 --> 00:43:09,293 Speaker 2: I think we don't care. I think Steve Irwin doesn't 854 00:43:09,333 --> 00:43:12,733 Speaker 2: care if he's been objectified. I find those comments funny. 855 00:43:12,933 --> 00:43:14,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, that woman. 856 00:43:14,493 --> 00:43:18,253 Speaker 2: Says, even if it is hypocritical or there's a double standard, 857 00:43:19,213 --> 00:43:21,533 Speaker 2: I think the reason why it exists is because men 858 00:43:21,573 --> 00:43:25,692 Speaker 2: don't care if you objectify them. Objectification is the act 859 00:43:25,693 --> 00:43:27,533 Speaker 2: of treating a person as an object or a thing. 860 00:43:27,853 --> 00:43:32,133 Speaker 2: It's part of dehumanization. It's disavouring the inpanity of others. 861 00:43:32,533 --> 00:43:35,493 Speaker 2: And I think when it comes to females, it's considered 862 00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:39,933 Speaker 2: dangerous to normalize objectification because it teaches this is the 863 00:43:40,013 --> 00:43:43,093 Speaker 2: argument teaches men and boys that females are sexual objects 864 00:43:43,133 --> 00:43:45,813 Speaker 2: above all else, that woman exists to be looked at 865 00:43:45,853 --> 00:43:48,173 Speaker 2: and consumed and discarded. That's the argument against it. 866 00:43:48,453 --> 00:43:50,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know. 867 00:43:50,533 --> 00:43:52,172 Speaker 2: I think a lot of men would like to be 868 00:43:52,853 --> 00:43:56,213 Speaker 2: looked at, consumed and discarded discarded. 869 00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:58,373 Speaker 3: I don't know about the discarded part. Maybe, I mean, 870 00:43:58,413 --> 00:44:00,533 Speaker 3: I don't know. 871 00:44:01,013 --> 00:44:03,773 Speaker 2: I think it is probably hypocritical to say. And there 872 00:44:03,813 --> 00:44:06,133 Speaker 2: was the oscars a couple of years ago where all 873 00:44:06,173 --> 00:44:11,653 Speaker 2: female hosts massively objectified and got the hot guys actors 874 00:44:11,733 --> 00:44:15,213 Speaker 2: up on stage, and that that god was a bit 875 00:44:15,253 --> 00:44:17,013 Speaker 2: of controversy because if it had been around the other 876 00:44:17,053 --> 00:44:21,373 Speaker 2: way it would have been a huge problem. But what 877 00:44:21,373 --> 00:44:22,693 Speaker 2: do you think about this, Tyler, and what do you 878 00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:25,413 Speaker 2: think about this? Everyone else on urned at eighty ten eighty? 879 00:44:26,973 --> 00:44:29,013 Speaker 2: Can you be objectified if you want to be objectified? 880 00:44:29,053 --> 00:44:31,373 Speaker 2: Because Steve Irwin doesn't seem to mind. He doesn't hasn't 881 00:44:31,373 --> 00:44:33,413 Speaker 2: taken his shirt off and put a snake around as 882 00:44:33,653 --> 00:44:36,493 Speaker 2: as neck for bonds. 883 00:44:37,053 --> 00:44:39,172 Speaker 3: He knew what he was doing, not to be objectified. 884 00:44:39,373 --> 00:44:43,013 Speaker 3: He was trying to be seductive to sell some boxers too. 885 00:44:43,293 --> 00:44:43,573 Speaker 2: Yeah. 886 00:44:43,653 --> 00:44:46,212 Speaker 3: In fact, actually, well you know, how does that marketing work? 887 00:44:46,413 --> 00:44:48,212 Speaker 3: Does that sell to females? Does that mean to sell 888 00:44:48,253 --> 00:44:50,973 Speaker 3: to fellas? I suppose it, as bonds make stuff for 889 00:44:51,093 --> 00:44:51,772 Speaker 3: women as well. 890 00:44:52,733 --> 00:44:55,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they's a yeah, that's a really good point. 891 00:44:58,053 --> 00:45:00,212 Speaker 2: When Dan Cart was walking around as undies all those 892 00:45:00,293 --> 00:45:03,333 Speaker 2: years ago, was that is it for women to buy 893 00:45:03,373 --> 00:45:03,853 Speaker 2: for their men? 894 00:45:04,053 --> 00:45:04,413 Speaker 18: Ah? 895 00:45:04,533 --> 00:45:06,692 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, that's it. How you're onto it. 896 00:45:06,773 --> 00:45:08,613 Speaker 2: I wonder what the percentage of undies are born by 897 00:45:08,653 --> 00:45:11,453 Speaker 2: men for themselves and brought or brought by women for men. 898 00:45:12,213 --> 00:45:14,613 Speaker 2: But which is an interesting point as well, because it's 899 00:45:14,613 --> 00:45:17,453 Speaker 2: a very different thing. If your partner buys you a 900 00:45:17,493 --> 00:45:20,733 Speaker 2: six pack of boxer shorts, right, that for some reason 901 00:45:20,813 --> 00:45:23,293 Speaker 2: is a different statement. Then if as a man you 902 00:45:23,333 --> 00:45:28,093 Speaker 2: went out and bought your woman undies for some reason, 903 00:45:28,093 --> 00:45:30,813 Speaker 2: that's a very different thing, especially if you turn up 904 00:45:30,813 --> 00:45:32,812 Speaker 2: with a six pack of Rio something and have the matter. 905 00:45:32,853 --> 00:45:35,213 Speaker 2: She'd be like, no, excuse me anyway. 906 00:45:35,413 --> 00:45:37,252 Speaker 3: Yeah, But if the shoe was on the other foot, 907 00:45:37,253 --> 00:45:40,533 Speaker 3: and say it was Bindy and Bindy was scantily clad 908 00:45:40,573 --> 00:45:42,853 Speaker 3: and trying to shift some underwear and had a snake 909 00:45:42,893 --> 00:45:44,853 Speaker 3: around her neck at that. 910 00:45:44,853 --> 00:45:47,212 Speaker 2: Point, a lot of the puns wouldn't work. 911 00:45:47,373 --> 00:45:49,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of the puns wouldn't work. But there 912 00:45:49,933 --> 00:45:54,333 Speaker 3: would be men who would be clearly objectifying that campaign 913 00:45:54,493 --> 00:45:56,652 Speaker 3: because that's kind is that part and parcel of it, 914 00:45:57,773 --> 00:46:01,053 Speaker 3: Or instantly you're labeled to creep if you do that, 915 00:46:01,173 --> 00:46:03,373 Speaker 3: which I can understand why you would be label to 916 00:46:03,373 --> 00:46:04,053 Speaker 3: creep if you did that. 917 00:46:04,333 --> 00:46:06,813 Speaker 2: Well, Cass says, it's called payback. And they are not 918 00:46:06,893 --> 00:46:09,093 Speaker 2: so sensitive either, and we and they are not so 919 00:46:09,133 --> 00:46:11,692 Speaker 2: centitive as the men. I mean he's putting himself solf 920 00:46:11,773 --> 00:46:15,093 Speaker 2: right out there. Yeah, I mean that's part of it, 921 00:46:15,893 --> 00:46:19,053 Speaker 2: and that the reason why I find it funny is 922 00:46:19,053 --> 00:46:22,013 Speaker 2: because he wouldn't care. No, So you're not there's no 923 00:46:22,053 --> 00:46:23,093 Speaker 2: there's a victimless crime. 924 00:46:23,333 --> 00:46:24,733 Speaker 3: Just go and have a look at that photo if 925 00:46:24,733 --> 00:46:26,733 Speaker 3: you haven't seen it, and the way that he's sitting 926 00:46:26,893 --> 00:46:30,493 Speaker 3: and the way that it's delivered. Clearly he wants to 927 00:46:30,533 --> 00:46:32,293 Speaker 3: be provocative and very seductive. 928 00:46:32,453 --> 00:46:35,053 Speaker 2: But if you flip it around the other way, Tyler, 929 00:46:36,133 --> 00:46:40,293 Speaker 2: and a woman is appearing in bonds undies as you say, 930 00:46:41,173 --> 00:46:44,333 Speaker 2: is that they're okay? You know, obviously she's doing that 931 00:46:44,533 --> 00:46:47,933 Speaker 2: for money, and it's a still image and you don't 932 00:46:47,933 --> 00:46:50,172 Speaker 2: know anything about her, so she is kind of being 933 00:46:50,173 --> 00:46:54,093 Speaker 2: an object and demonstrating how good the undies look on it. 934 00:46:55,133 --> 00:46:58,613 Speaker 2: Women don't call them undies dear they no, But there's 935 00:46:58,613 --> 00:47:02,333 Speaker 2: a word that people don't like people saying about woman's undies. 936 00:47:02,893 --> 00:47:07,093 Speaker 2: It triggers people. If rod Irvan is comfortable enough to 937 00:47:07,093 --> 00:47:09,653 Speaker 2: put himself out there modeling were then surely he wouldn't 938 00:47:09,693 --> 00:47:12,133 Speaker 2: mind a bit of admiration that's from Ellie. So there 939 00:47:12,133 --> 00:47:12,333 Speaker 2: you go. 940 00:47:12,413 --> 00:47:15,333 Speaker 3: Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty Love your thoughts on 941 00:47:15,373 --> 00:47:19,853 Speaker 3: this one. Can men be objectified or is it double standards? 942 00:47:20,213 --> 00:47:21,853 Speaker 3: It is fourteen past two. 943 00:47:22,733 --> 00:47:27,333 Speaker 1: Wow your home of afternoon Talk, Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams 944 00:47:27,373 --> 00:47:31,413 Speaker 1: Afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk said. 945 00:47:31,213 --> 00:47:31,293 Speaker 7: Be. 946 00:47:32,973 --> 00:47:35,933 Speaker 3: Good afternoon. It is seventeen past two. Is it a 947 00:47:35,973 --> 00:47:39,213 Speaker 3: problem to objectify men? It's all kicking off over in 948 00:47:39,253 --> 00:47:41,933 Speaker 3: Australia on the back of Robert Irwin, the son of 949 00:47:42,053 --> 00:47:46,172 Speaker 3: Steve Irwin, doing a racy photo shoot with a men's 950 00:47:46,253 --> 00:47:49,533 Speaker 3: underwear company with a snake around his neck in provocative poses. 951 00:47:49,573 --> 00:47:53,413 Speaker 3: But a two GB presenter over in Australia, Lucy Zealik, 952 00:47:53,493 --> 00:47:57,133 Speaker 3: has come out swinging saying it is double standards and 953 00:47:57,213 --> 00:47:58,093 Speaker 3: women are hypocrites. 954 00:47:59,133 --> 00:48:00,773 Speaker 2: Campbell, your thoughts on this? 955 00:48:02,093 --> 00:48:04,413 Speaker 21: Yeah, I just wanted to point out another double standard. 956 00:48:04,453 --> 00:48:06,933 Speaker 21: We're going to left on arms about objectification of women 957 00:48:07,653 --> 00:48:10,172 Speaker 21: because we say, you know, we're only interested in their 958 00:48:10,213 --> 00:48:12,373 Speaker 21: bodies and how they look. But we have the same 959 00:48:12,413 --> 00:48:15,413 Speaker 21: double standard with sports people, where we're only interested in 960 00:48:15,453 --> 00:48:17,373 Speaker 21: them for what they can do on the sports field. 961 00:48:18,013 --> 00:48:19,973 Speaker 21: We're more than happy for them to put out their 962 00:48:20,013 --> 00:48:22,613 Speaker 21: bodies on the line for our entertainment. And then as 963 00:48:22,613 --> 00:48:24,413 Speaker 21: soon as they walk off the sports field, we forget 964 00:48:24,413 --> 00:48:26,692 Speaker 21: about them and don't really care until they're back playing again. 965 00:48:26,773 --> 00:48:28,973 Speaker 21: And so it seems to me that we're happy to 966 00:48:29,013 --> 00:48:32,773 Speaker 21: objectify some people in some circumstances, but in other circumstances 967 00:48:32,933 --> 00:48:35,533 Speaker 21: it's not okay, and there's no consistency amongst it. 968 00:48:35,853 --> 00:48:38,853 Speaker 2: That's an interesting point, actually, and you could say that 969 00:48:38,893 --> 00:48:45,813 Speaker 2: about soldiers as well, yep, and police officers. In people's professions, 970 00:48:45,853 --> 00:48:49,693 Speaker 2: we forget their humanity. We just go that's an object 971 00:48:49,773 --> 00:48:53,133 Speaker 2: its job is to do that. That's a really interesting point. 972 00:48:53,693 --> 00:48:56,733 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what Campbell on a straight objectification 973 00:48:57,173 --> 00:49:00,293 Speaker 2: in the sort of the sexual way, that happens a lot. 974 00:49:00,373 --> 00:49:04,133 Speaker 2: And you know, if you're watching sport with a female. 975 00:49:04,373 --> 00:49:06,732 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember the twenty eleven Rugby World Cup 976 00:49:06,733 --> 00:49:09,093 Speaker 2: when Sonny Bill Williams had to take a shirt off 977 00:49:09,093 --> 00:49:11,893 Speaker 2: and change it on the on the sideline at Eden Park. 978 00:49:12,693 --> 00:49:15,893 Speaker 2: There was a lot of objectification going down of that 979 00:49:16,053 --> 00:49:19,573 Speaker 2: man in the room that I was watching it from. 980 00:49:19,733 --> 00:49:22,053 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I don't. I mean, one 981 00:49:22,093 --> 00:49:24,813 Speaker 21: part of me says nobody should be objectified, but then 982 00:49:24,853 --> 00:49:26,693 Speaker 21: the other part of me says, well, we're pretty selective 983 00:49:26,693 --> 00:49:28,893 Speaker 21: about when we do and when we don't. So where's 984 00:49:28,893 --> 00:49:30,933 Speaker 21: the line and who gets to decide it? Because it 985 00:49:30,973 --> 00:49:33,653 Speaker 21: seems to be arbitrary that it depends on the person 986 00:49:33,733 --> 00:49:36,213 Speaker 21: being objectified as to whether they're upset or not.

The 1032 00:51:45,973 --> 00:51:49,053 Speaker 2: New Zealand Fire Department objectified themselves and calendars for years 1033 00:51:49,813 --> 00:51:51,853 Speaker 2: to raise funds. I don't remember hearing in complaints in 1034 00:51:51,893 --> 00:51:54,933 Speaker 2: the media. That did shut down though, well, I can't 1035 00:51:55,013 --> 00:51:58,333 Speaker 2: quite remember the story of that. The fireman which was 1036 00:51:58,373 --> 00:52:03,493 Speaker 2: a fantastically successful campaign for you know, for a very 1037 00:52:03,573 --> 00:52:08,693 Speaker 2: very good cause, hot Fireman calendars, that something happen with it. 1038 00:52:08,693 --> 00:52:10,453 Speaker 2: I think it was last year they stopped making it. 1039 00:52:10,973 --> 00:52:13,413 Speaker 2: Someone might know on nine two, nine, two hundred and eighty, 1040 00:52:13,413 --> 00:52:16,733 Speaker 2: teen eighty why they stopped doing it. Was it because 1041 00:52:16,773 --> 00:52:18,093 Speaker 2: the objectification was wrong. 1042 00:52:18,373 --> 00:52:20,733 Speaker 3: I'm just I've got a story here that the final chapter. 1043 00:52:20,773 --> 00:52:22,692 Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll do some research on that about why 1044 00:52:22,733 --> 00:52:23,493 Speaker 3: it all ended. 1045 00:52:23,693 --> 00:52:28,453 Speaker 2: But that's an interesting one. Objectification for good causes that 1046 00:52:28,613 --> 00:52:34,573 Speaker 2: really complicated, complicates the issue. Sarah, Welcome to the show. 1047 00:52:34,933 --> 00:52:37,613 Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on objectification of men? 1048 00:52:39,253 --> 00:52:41,813 Speaker 22: Well, First of all, I just I just sort of 1049 00:52:41,853 --> 00:52:45,333 Speaker 22: got into the conversation maybe a little bit while you're 1050 00:52:45,333 --> 00:52:46,013 Speaker 22: already on it. 1051 00:52:46,373 --> 00:52:48,413 Speaker 14: Welcome and thank you. 1052 00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:51,933 Speaker 22: What I just thought was, you know, you were talking 1053 00:52:51,973 --> 00:52:54,773 Speaker 22: about Steve iwins Son initially. 1054 00:52:55,493 --> 00:52:55,893 Speaker 18: Is that raight? 1055 00:52:55,973 --> 00:52:57,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's right, Robert doing. 1056 00:52:58,253 --> 00:53:02,133 Speaker 22: Yeah, And I just thought that, you know, if someone 1057 00:53:02,213 --> 00:53:05,453 Speaker 22: chooses to be in the public are then you know, 1058 00:53:05,493 --> 00:53:09,333 Speaker 22: a celebrity or sports people or people like that, then 1059 00:53:09,613 --> 00:53:12,173 Speaker 22: part of that should be that they should accept some 1060 00:53:13,373 --> 00:53:19,893 Speaker 22: degree of objectification and judgment. But or except that it 1061 00:53:20,333 --> 00:53:24,133 Speaker 22: comes with being that, you know, like a celebrity or 1062 00:53:25,533 --> 00:53:30,333 Speaker 22: famous or whatever. But with regard to object objectification of men, 1063 00:53:30,373 --> 00:53:32,013 Speaker 22: I'm not sure I think that would be for men 1064 00:53:32,453 --> 00:53:35,853 Speaker 22: or women. But yeah, I don't have an opinion about 1065 00:53:36,253 --> 00:53:39,013 Speaker 22: the police and firemen, et cetera, et cetera. 1066 00:53:39,493 --> 00:53:42,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's an interesting one because what Robert 1067 00:53:42,453 --> 00:53:46,133 Speaker 2: Ewin has done here as he's posed for photos for 1068 00:53:46,173 --> 00:53:51,293 Speaker 2: People magazine, for Bonds, so it's a commercial thing. So 1069 00:53:51,973 --> 00:53:56,133 Speaker 2: in that situation, he's definitely put himself up for an objectification. 1070 00:53:56,213 --> 00:53:57,933 Speaker 2: And I would say it's kind of the it's kind 1071 00:53:57,933 --> 00:54:01,253 Speaker 2: of the point of it. It's not it's I mean 1072 00:54:01,453 --> 00:54:05,133 Speaker 2: that's he is obviously referencing his work with animals in 1073 00:54:05,173 --> 00:54:08,013 Speaker 2: the Australia in it. But you could do that with 1074 00:54:08,013 --> 00:54:09,893 Speaker 2: thatking your shirt off and as soon as you take 1075 00:54:09,933 --> 00:54:11,933 Speaker 2: your shirt off and all yourself up there, then then 1076 00:54:11,973 --> 00:54:15,053 Speaker 2: it's a different kind of thing, as opposed to say, 1077 00:54:15,133 --> 00:54:18,493 Speaker 2: someone walking down the street just going about their business 1078 00:54:18,733 --> 00:54:22,213 Speaker 2: and wolf whistling them that that's a different thing. 1079 00:54:22,253 --> 00:54:26,812 Speaker 22: Would you say, Sarah, Well, it depends because I think 1080 00:54:26,893 --> 00:54:33,373 Speaker 22: I think sometimes you can invite objectification depending on how 1081 00:54:33,413 --> 00:54:36,693 Speaker 22: you present yourself. I know, I know that's probably not 1082 00:54:36,853 --> 00:54:40,573 Speaker 22: really how a lot of people would like things to be. 1083 00:54:40,693 --> 00:54:44,653 Speaker 22: But it just is like if if if you choose 1084 00:54:44,693 --> 00:54:46,853 Speaker 22: to take your shirt off and things like that, then 1085 00:54:47,333 --> 00:54:49,813 Speaker 22: then people are going to have judgment whether you're walking 1086 00:54:49,853 --> 00:54:51,733 Speaker 22: down the street or whether you're a celebrity. 1087 00:54:51,813 --> 00:54:54,652 Speaker 2: You know, So would you would would you agree that 1088 00:54:54,653 --> 00:54:59,013 Speaker 2: that's the same say If I don't know, let's just 1089 00:54:59,053 --> 00:55:01,853 Speaker 2: say bindy his sister did the same thing. She did 1090 00:55:02,293 --> 00:55:06,013 Speaker 2: a bikini a bikini shoot with a snake around the necks. 1091 00:55:06,333 --> 00:55:08,373 Speaker 2: Then then all the comments would. 1092 00:55:08,133 --> 00:55:13,413 Speaker 22: Be Okay, I think I'm not sure what the comments were. 1093 00:55:13,653 --> 00:55:17,173 Speaker 2: Well, they wouldn't They probably wouldn't work. Here's some of 1094 00:55:17,213 --> 00:55:20,933 Speaker 2: them from from media. Do you think he can handle 1095 00:55:20,933 --> 00:55:21,373 Speaker 2: a cougar? 1096 00:55:22,293 --> 00:55:25,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's quite a long point. Yeah, this one that 1097 00:55:25,733 --> 00:55:27,253 Speaker 3: is a hell of a python. I wonder if his 1098 00:55:27,293 --> 00:55:30,013 Speaker 3: python is quite long. That's quite on the nose, isn't it? 1099 00:55:30,053 --> 00:55:32,533 Speaker 2: Sarah dangling his snake in front of the world. I 1100 00:55:32,653 --> 00:55:36,533 Speaker 2: like to see it. It's they're funny. They're funny comments. 1101 00:55:36,613 --> 00:55:37,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you wind it. 1102 00:55:38,493 --> 00:55:41,333 Speaker 22: If she did it. Of course she should accept the 1103 00:55:41,373 --> 00:55:44,733 Speaker 22: same sort of thing, because she's she's chosen to do that. 1104 00:55:44,813 --> 00:55:47,413 Speaker 22: Of course, I mean what do people expect. Of course, 1105 00:55:47,413 --> 00:55:49,693 Speaker 22: people are going to have judgments funny not funny, or 1106 00:55:49,733 --> 00:55:51,973 Speaker 22: talks of things. If you put yourself out there like 1107 00:55:52,053 --> 00:55:54,453 Speaker 22: that on the street or in the public, are you 1108 00:55:54,533 --> 00:55:55,093 Speaker 22: going to get it? 1109 00:55:55,773 --> 00:56:00,493 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean exactly. I don't think Robert Irwin's 1110 00:56:00,533 --> 00:56:03,573 Speaker 2: a victim here. No, No, and I don't think And 1111 00:56:03,613 --> 00:56:06,853 Speaker 2: that's kind of why I think it's okay. So the 1112 00:56:06,893 --> 00:56:09,573 Speaker 2: whole point of this is coming up from I'm from 1113 00:56:10,013 --> 00:56:12,093 Speaker 2: a lady in Australian media what's her name on the 1114 00:56:12,173 --> 00:56:15,573 Speaker 2: radio l Lucy's Alex has said that it's hypocritical and 1115 00:56:15,653 --> 00:56:18,333 Speaker 2: that if women are going to complain about being objectified 1116 00:56:18,693 --> 00:56:22,173 Speaker 2: in the media, then they shouldn't objectify men. But I 1117 00:56:22,933 --> 00:56:26,013 Speaker 2: don't think so, because I just don't think men don't 1118 00:56:26,013 --> 00:56:27,093 Speaker 2: want to be objectified. 1119 00:56:27,813 --> 00:56:29,453 Speaker 3: And it wasn't like a last minute thing with the 1120 00:56:29,493 --> 00:56:31,693 Speaker 3: snake and said, oh, just why you're here, Robert, you 1121 00:56:31,733 --> 00:56:33,493 Speaker 3: don't mind if we just tangle a snake around yourn 1122 00:56:33,573 --> 00:56:35,813 Speaker 3: because oh why would you do that? Clearly he knew 1123 00:56:35,933 --> 00:56:37,973 Speaker 3: what in your window was going to be with this 1124 00:56:38,493 --> 00:56:39,813 Speaker 3: massive python around his neck. 1125 00:56:39,933 --> 00:56:42,653 Speaker 2: If you go online, Christopher lux and our prime minister 1126 00:56:42,733 --> 00:56:46,732 Speaker 2: gets a lot of full on comments people that don't 1127 00:56:46,733 --> 00:56:51,933 Speaker 2: support him, abusing the way he locks. Yeah, there's so 1128 00:56:52,053 --> 00:56:56,613 Speaker 2: much attack on the way locks. And that's objectifying in 1129 00:56:56,653 --> 00:56:59,573 Speaker 2: a negative way because surely how he does as a 1130 00:56:59,613 --> 00:57:01,693 Speaker 2: prime minister is what you should be talking about, not 1131 00:57:01,773 --> 00:57:04,533 Speaker 2: how he looks as he's going about what he's doing 1132 00:57:04,533 --> 00:57:05,173 Speaker 2: as a prime minister. 1133 00:57:05,333 --> 00:57:07,613 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head 1134 00:57:07,653 --> 00:57:11,292 Speaker 3: that if you were objectify a man in a positive way, 1135 00:57:11,773 --> 00:57:14,373 Speaker 3: then that is a okay. Most guys like that. But 1136 00:57:14,733 --> 00:57:17,333 Speaker 3: if you talk about their body in a negative way, 1137 00:57:17,773 --> 00:57:19,813 Speaker 3: then that is where the offense comes in. 1138 00:57:19,973 --> 00:57:22,853 Speaker 2: So if Christopher Luxon whipped his shirt off, put a 1139 00:57:22,893 --> 00:57:25,693 Speaker 2: python around his neck and posed in some bonds undies. 1140 00:57:25,893 --> 00:57:27,613 Speaker 2: Then it's open slept. 1141 00:57:27,773 --> 00:57:29,973 Speaker 3: The company will go bankrupt.

Foreign Affairs Minister Winston 1146 00:57:43,493 --> 00:57:46,493 Speaker 16: Peters says New Zealand should wait until a dust settles 1147 00:57:46,533 --> 00:57:49,453 Speaker 16: on Donald Trump's tariffs. He says, we don't know where 1148 00:57:49,453 --> 00:57:52,053 Speaker 16: the tariffs are going, but we should find out before 1149 00:57:52,093 --> 00:57:55,253 Speaker 16: we make further comment.

Look, we're listening to your talk about objectification, 1241 01:02:43,733 --> 01:02:48,853 Speaker 15: and I'm a no favor of objectification, but why can't 1242 01:02:48,893 --> 01:02:52,573 Speaker 15: we appreciate things as well? Right, Like, if we look 1243 01:02:52,613 --> 01:02:54,533 Speaker 15: back through time, you've got a lot of art and 1244 01:02:54,653 --> 01:02:58,413 Speaker 15: sculpture where mood men and women feature quite prominently back 1245 01:02:58,493 --> 01:03:03,453 Speaker 15: hundreds and thousands of years. Well, we don't call that objectification, 1246 01:03:03,533 --> 01:03:06,493 Speaker 15: and we call it and we call it appreciation, and 1247 01:03:06,533 --> 01:03:10,373 Speaker 15: we appreciate it and celebrate it. So if someone has 1248 01:03:10,373 --> 01:03:12,253 Speaker 15: a good physique and they've been a lot of time 1249 01:03:12,293 --> 01:03:14,453 Speaker 15: in the effort to get themselves looking that way and 1250 01:03:14,533 --> 01:03:16,973 Speaker 15: are willing to put themselves out there as as as 1251 01:03:17,013 --> 01:03:19,413 Speaker 15: a model or whether it's for art, whether it's for 1252 01:03:19,453 --> 01:03:23,373 Speaker 15: a commercial or whatever. Why can't we Why can't we 1253 01:03:23,373 --> 01:03:27,293 Speaker 15: celebrate that and appreciate it? For me, objectification is about 1254 01:03:27,493 --> 01:03:32,173 Speaker 15: a reductionism, right, like reductionism of someone to just their 1255 01:03:32,213 --> 01:03:37,333 Speaker 15: physical form, whereas you can appreciate someone's physical form and 1256 01:03:37,653 --> 01:03:39,773 Speaker 15: still have a lot of respects for their intelligence and 1257 01:03:39,973 --> 01:03:41,493 Speaker 15: what they bring through society. 1258 01:03:42,613 --> 01:03:45,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a really interesting point you raise 1259 01:03:45,533 --> 01:03:48,893 Speaker 2: there philosophically, because once something's a picture, right, So you 1260 01:03:48,933 --> 01:03:52,133 Speaker 2: take the Venus demilt, right, which is fantastic piece of 1261 01:03:52,213 --> 01:03:57,093 Speaker 2: art obviously, I think it's made about one hundred and 1262 01:03:57,133 --> 01:04:00,533 Speaker 2: ten vcs, that's been around for wascon currently got an 1263 01:04:00,573 --> 01:04:03,653 Speaker 2: arm missing.

But that was that was 1265 01:04:06,813 --> 01:04:10,213 Speaker 2: that was you know, sculpted around someone had a subject 1266 01:04:10,253 --> 01:04:14,173 Speaker 2: that it was sculpted around. So are you objectifying the 1267 01:04:14,213 --> 01:04:17,773 Speaker 2: original person that was sculpted When you look at the 1268 01:04:17,853 --> 01:04:20,293 Speaker 2: Venus Demilo and go wow, that's an amazing sculpture. 1269 01:04:20,893 --> 01:04:23,093 Speaker 3: Well, that was the definition of beauty, wasn't it back 1270 01:04:23,093 --> 01:04:25,413 Speaker 3: when it was sculpted, And as you say, it been 1271 01:04:25,493 --> 01:04:27,333 Speaker 3: long held up as a work of art. 1272 01:04:27,693 --> 01:04:29,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't find the Venus Demilo 1273 01:04:29,373 --> 01:04:33,253 Speaker 2: that hot myself, but that's just me personally high standards 1274 01:04:33,253 --> 01:04:37,653 Speaker 2: from me. But I see your point, Adam. 1275 01:04:38,373 --> 01:04:40,173 Speaker 15: Yeah, And I guess you can look at it and go, oh, 1276 01:04:40,253 --> 01:04:42,933 Speaker 15: this has been done for completely commercial purposes, right, But 1277 01:04:43,013 --> 01:04:46,613 Speaker 15: I've been to plenty of art galleries which feature photographs 1278 01:04:46,693 --> 01:04:49,613 Speaker 15: or sculptures or paintings of people with a man or 1279 01:04:49,613 --> 01:04:53,213 Speaker 15: woman and they are produced for commercial gain. Right, Those 1280 01:04:53,253 --> 01:04:56,693 Speaker 15: pieces of art are for sale, which is no different 1281 01:04:56,733 --> 01:04:58,573 Speaker 15: to selling a pair of undies really in my book, 1282 01:04:58,573 --> 01:05:01,493 Speaker 15: And you can potentially go, well, yes, it is an advertisement, 1283 01:05:01,653 --> 01:05:04,413 Speaker 15: but what is art? Art can be anything, right, So 1284 01:05:04,613 --> 01:05:07,693 Speaker 15: why can a commercial which is or a photograph and 1285 01:05:07,733 --> 01:05:10,693 Speaker 15: which in this why can't it be considered to be 1286 01:05:10,853 --> 01:05:11,813 Speaker 15: a form of art. 1287 01:05:12,093 --> 01:05:12,333 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1288 01:05:12,653 --> 01:05:14,693 Speaker 2: I think that's a very good point. And over time, 1289 01:05:14,813 --> 01:05:17,733 Speaker 2: these things can you know, you see advertisings from the 1290 01:05:17,773 --> 01:05:20,773 Speaker 2: nineteen fifties now and have been elevated to the form 1291 01:05:20,773 --> 01:05:23,533 Speaker 2: of art. But hey, thank you so much for you call, Adam. 1292 01:05:23,853 --> 01:05:26,653 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the you know, the modoriza is nothing 1293 01:05:26,853 --> 01:05:28,933 Speaker 2: no better than a bond's under his air. 1294 01:05:30,493 --> 01:05:33,973 Speaker 3: Yeah, effectively a four hundred million dollar bonds ad. But 1295 01:05:34,013 --> 01:05:37,453 Speaker 3: if Robert Irwin got no comments on this photo shoot, 1296 01:05:37,453 --> 01:05:39,933 Speaker 3: that would be far more offensive to them than clearly 1297 01:05:40,013 --> 01:05:43,613 Speaker 3: the comments that he got. It was designed to be provocative, insductive, 1298 01:05:43,893 --> 01:05:46,253 Speaker 3: and if people came out and said, ah, he's so 1299 01:05:46,253 --> 01:05:50,253 Speaker 3: so pretty average body, then that point that would be offensive. 1300 01:05:51,093 --> 01:05:54,133 Speaker 3: But the way that it's you know, played out, I 1301 01:05:54,133 --> 01:05:55,453 Speaker 3: think it just brings some equality. 1302 01:05:55,493 --> 01:05:57,773 Speaker 2: If anything, this texts said the word missing in the 1303 01:05:57,773 --> 01:06:00,213 Speaker 2: previous callers dialogue. This was a call before that that 1304 01:06:00,333 --> 01:06:03,973 Speaker 2: was talking about people getting objectified and their professions, and 1305 01:06:03,973 --> 01:06:08,173 Speaker 2: we were talking about soldiers and stuff.

He's wearing some Tonet like boxers, he's 1387 01:10:11,133 --> 01:10:13,013 Speaker 7: got a snake all over, and it's like, you know, 1388 01:10:13,572 --> 01:10:17,213 Speaker 7: you would be insulted as Robert Irwin. A woman didn't 1389 01:10:17,253 --> 01:10:21,572 Speaker 7: make some comments about his appearance and some innuendo about 1390 01:10:21,612 --> 01:10:25,133 Speaker 7: maybe what they would like from him. 1391 01:10:25,492 --> 01:10:26,452 Speaker 17: A lot of it have ala. 1392 01:10:26,893 --> 01:10:29,612 Speaker 7: I remember, probably about fifteen years ago, I was doing 1393 01:10:29,612 --> 01:10:33,012 Speaker 7: a Social WEK degree and we had a member of 1394 01:10:33,053 --> 01:10:36,652 Speaker 7: the police come in to talk to us Sunday, strapping, 1395 01:10:36,812 --> 01:10:40,412 Speaker 7: young Pacificer guy had on quite a tight top and 1396 01:10:40,612 --> 01:10:43,772 Speaker 7: was quite muscular. Now, the Social Week demographic back then 1397 01:10:43,853 --> 01:10:46,133 Speaker 7: was probably about ninety percent female, so there would have 1398 01:10:46,133 --> 01:10:49,253 Speaker 7: been let's say fifty people, and there would have been 1399 01:10:49,253 --> 01:10:52,772 Speaker 7: probably forty five woman and five guys. And the guys 1400 01:10:53,093 --> 01:10:57,173 Speaker 7: intrinsically knew that you know, as a guy, you should 1401 01:10:57,173 --> 01:11:00,053 Speaker 7: not be saying anything towards woman that would be derogatory, 1402 01:11:00,213 --> 01:11:05,333 Speaker 7: anything with sexual nature. And if we had made fun 1403 01:11:05,412 --> 01:11:07,652 Speaker 7: of the way of female coming to talk to us, 1404 01:11:07,732 --> 01:11:10,572 Speaker 7: had it appeared, we would have been off the course 1405 01:11:11,213 --> 01:11:15,612 Speaker 7: the woman on our course. When this male police officer came, 1406 01:11:16,093 --> 01:11:23,652 Speaker 7: they whooped some like what was the famous question he 1407 01:11:23,732 --> 01:11:26,213 Speaker 7: got asked? He said, any questions? What was the first question? 1408 01:11:29,933 --> 01:11:30,612 Speaker 8: Have I guess? 1409 01:11:31,173 --> 01:11:32,293 Speaker 2: I don't know. What can your bench? 1410 01:11:32,372 --> 01:11:35,572 Speaker 7: What are you single? 1411 01:11:36,532 --> 01:11:38,532 Speaker 2: Of course that was the first question. Yeah, good question. 1412 01:11:41,532 --> 01:11:42,333 Speaker 17: No he was married. 1413 01:11:42,492 --> 01:11:45,572 Speaker 7: Like, as a male student, if we've done that with 1414 01:11:45,853 --> 01:11:48,253 Speaker 7: any female coming to talk to us, we would have 1415 01:11:48,253 --> 01:11:48,932 Speaker 7: been off the course. 1416 01:11:49,572 --> 01:11:53,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, and and I think I think you're absolutely right. 1417 01:11:53,253 --> 01:11:56,732 Speaker 2: But why as men do we not care well or 1418 01:11:56,772 --> 01:11:58,093 Speaker 2: as well? I don't love it. 1419 01:11:58,492 --> 01:12:02,133 Speaker 7: I think men love it as a man if you 1420 01:12:02,133 --> 01:12:06,253 Speaker 7: get comments on you're being strong, or you know your 1421 01:12:06,333 --> 01:12:08,893 Speaker 7: chest looks good, or you know you look good on 1422 01:12:08,973 --> 01:12:12,052 Speaker 7: that shirt or look at your shoulders, guys love that stuff, 1423 01:12:12,173 --> 01:12:15,732 Speaker 7: love it, you know what, because guys don't often hear it. 1424 01:12:15,933 --> 01:12:19,892 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, But is it the fact that for most 1425 01:12:19,893 --> 01:12:23,173 Speaker 3: guys it doesn't happen a hell of a lot where 1426 01:12:23,452 --> 01:12:28,212 Speaker 3: for some speak for yourself to for some woman it happens, 1427 01:12:28,253 --> 01:12:30,972 Speaker 3: it would happen on a daily basis, so constantly getting 1428 01:12:30,973 --> 01:12:34,173 Speaker 3: wolf whistle, constantly little sort of crude remarks at them 1429 01:12:34,173 --> 01:12:36,333 Speaker 3: when they're walking down the street. Maybe that's the difference, 1430 01:12:36,372 --> 01:12:39,732 Speaker 3: that they just get bombarded with it, that they've had enough. 1431 01:12:39,772 --> 01:12:42,213 Speaker 3: Whereas you know, imagine Brad Pitt does pretty well in 1432 01:12:42,213 --> 01:12:45,173 Speaker 3: the old objectification, and if he's walking down the street 1433 01:12:45,213 --> 01:12:47,253 Speaker 3: and all these women are screaming at him and trying 1434 01:12:47,253 --> 01:12:47,772 Speaker 3: to grab. 1435 01:12:47,572 --> 01:12:50,372 Speaker 2: His I reckon, I reckon Brad Pitt would be sick 1436 01:12:50,412 --> 01:12:52,572 Speaker 2: of it. I reckon he'd be one guy that would 1437 01:12:52,612 --> 01:12:55,412 Speaker 2: be absolutely sick of it. Hey, thanks so much for 1438 01:12:55,452 --> 01:13:00,012 Speaker 2: your court ray. It's interesting because I mean, the reason why, 1439 01:13:00,053 --> 01:13:03,093 Speaker 2: as I was saying before that that people think there's 1440 01:13:03,093 --> 01:13:06,492 Speaker 2: a problem with female objectification is the argument that it 1441 01:13:06,532 --> 01:13:09,293 Speaker 2: teaches men and boys that females are sex or objects 1442 01:13:09,372 --> 01:13:12,333 Speaker 2: above all ouse, that woman exists to be looked at, 1443 01:13:13,973 --> 01:13:16,853 Speaker 2: above all ouse. That's the argument on the other side, 1444 01:13:17,093 --> 01:13:20,173 Speaker 2: But I don't think men would really care. I mean, 1445 01:13:20,452 --> 01:13:22,652 Speaker 2: in this definition I'm seeing here that woman exists to 1446 01:13:22,692 --> 01:13:26,492 Speaker 2: be looked at, consumed, and discarded. Anyone's allowed to if 1447 01:13:26,492 --> 01:13:28,572 Speaker 2: you want to look at me, consume me and discard me, 1448 01:13:28,652 --> 01:13:31,372 Speaker 2: then go for your life. I'd be flattered, and I 1449 01:13:31,372 --> 01:13:33,612 Speaker 2: think that maybe that's the difference. I think it's important 1450 01:13:33,612 --> 01:13:36,372 Speaker 2: to remind people, says this text, that this topic is 1451 01:13:36,412 --> 01:13:38,692 Speaker 2: not about how Irwin feels about the comments and whether 1452 01:13:38,732 --> 01:13:41,972 Speaker 2: he's offended. The Australian host was only raising whether it's 1453 01:13:42,013 --> 01:13:44,692 Speaker 2: okay in the current day for women who regularly call 1454 01:13:44,732 --> 01:13:48,053 Speaker 2: out men on making any comment about their parents to 1455 01:13:48,093 --> 01:13:52,253 Speaker 2: be doing the same. And I'm certain there'd be one 1456 01:13:52,333 --> 01:13:55,253 Speaker 2: billion dollar minium to get together in building you multi 1457 01:13:55,333 --> 01:13:57,253 Speaker 2: use stadium. This seems to have gone through too. 1458 01:13:57,333 --> 01:13:59,213 Speaker 3: It's kind of linking two topics together. 1459 01:13:59,692 --> 01:14:00,093 Speaker 2: I get it. 1460 01:14:00,133 --> 01:14:03,532 Speaker 3: But to the first point, that's quite right that it's 1461 01:14:03,572 --> 01:14:05,253 Speaker 3: not about how Irwin feels about it. 1462 01:14:05,452 --> 01:14:08,452 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just putting out the hypocrisy of it, and 1463 01:14:08,652 --> 01:14:10,852 Speaker 2: I was, and I can see a clear hypocrisy there. 1464 01:14:11,133 --> 01:14:14,532 Speaker 2: But my point is we don't care. Men don't get 1465 01:14:14,572 --> 01:14:15,092 Speaker 2: to fly away. 1466 01:14:15,133 --> 01:14:15,532 Speaker 3: We love you. 1467 01:14:15,652 --> 01:14:19,093 Speaker 2: If anything, a great show. I think men need to 1468 01:14:19,093 --> 01:14:20,892 Speaker 2: grow up here. I think it's just a few small 1469 01:14:20,893 --> 01:14:24,093 Speaker 2: percentage than it is precious. I don't know what is 1470 01:14:24,133 --> 01:14:26,333 Speaker 2: happening in these days. If the guy looks hot, tell 1471 01:14:26,372 --> 01:14:29,772 Speaker 2: him if the guy's fat, and think it is bigger 1472 01:14:29,812 --> 01:14:32,133 Speaker 2: than you, tell him if it's smaller than you.

Mad Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons News Talk. 1482 01:14:54,652 --> 01:14:55,013 Speaker 1: Sa'd be. 1483 01:14:57,412 --> 01:15:03,452 Speaker 3: Sarah, A very good afternoon to you. Hello, Hello and thoughts. 1484 01:15:04,013 --> 01:15:08,053 Speaker 11: Yeah, I just put after I get a female perspective 1485 01:15:08,133 --> 01:15:13,053 Speaker 11: on the male versus female objectification and use that example 1486 01:15:13,133 --> 01:15:16,532 Speaker 11: that the previous caller had of, you know, forty five 1487 01:15:16,772 --> 01:15:20,612 Speaker 11: women in a room sort of objectifying a male and 1488 01:15:20,692 --> 01:15:24,333 Speaker 11: while why that felt quite different too as the roles 1489 01:15:24,333 --> 01:15:26,852 Speaker 11: were there, yep. And I think it's because if you 1490 01:15:26,973 --> 01:15:30,572 Speaker 11: cut a woman in a room with forty five men 1491 01:15:31,293 --> 01:15:34,612 Speaker 11: where that level of scrutiny and kind of objectification happens, 1492 01:15:35,173 --> 01:15:37,253 Speaker 11: that women would actually feel really unsafe. 1493 01:15:37,412 --> 01:15:38,013 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and. 1494 01:15:38,053 --> 01:15:40,812 Speaker 11: I don't think that. I don't think that's true the 1495 01:15:40,933 --> 01:15:43,213 Speaker 11: other way, when the shoes on the other foot. So 1496 01:15:43,293 --> 01:15:45,253 Speaker 11: I think, and I think a lot of females can 1497 01:15:45,293 --> 01:15:48,213 Speaker 11: probably point to an example of a time where they've 1498 01:15:48,253 --> 01:15:53,333 Speaker 11: felt some form of objectification has left them feeling I'm 1499 01:15:53,412 --> 01:15:57,932 Speaker 11: safe And maybe that's a really unfamiliar feeling for men. 1500 01:15:58,692 --> 01:15:59,692 Speaker 11: Haven't experienced that. 1501 01:15:59,973 --> 01:16:01,852 Speaker 2: I think you might have put the nail on the head. Yeah, 1502 01:16:01,893 --> 01:16:06,293 Speaker 2: and that's possibly why I don't care if someone or 1503 01:16:06,452 --> 01:16:08,933 Speaker 2: Steve Ewen, because there's no lack of safety in. 1504 01:16:08,933 --> 01:16:10,173 Speaker 3: Thes no danger in that. 1505 01:16:12,293 --> 01:16:15,333 Speaker 2: And also is this and this might be kind of 1506 01:16:15,492 --> 01:16:17,572 Speaker 2: just slightly different from what you're saying, Sarah, But here's 1507 01:16:17,572 --> 01:16:19,692 Speaker 2: the text that says he put himself up as a 1508 01:16:19,732 --> 01:16:25,093 Speaker 2: lingerie model. That's different to a secretary being hit on. So, yeah, 1509 01:16:25,133 --> 01:16:27,053 Speaker 2: it's quite a different thing, isn't it. And so we're 1510 01:16:27,133 --> 01:16:30,093 Speaker 2: using this thing of sexual objectification, but it's across a 1511 01:16:30,133 --> 01:16:33,253 Speaker 2: whole whole spectrum of things. It's very different if someone's 1512 01:16:33,253 --> 01:16:36,572 Speaker 2: looking at a photo as to someone hassling someone in 1513 01:16:37,612 --> 01:16:40,293 Speaker 2: real life, or let alone forty five men yelling at 1514 01:16:40,333 --> 01:16:42,852 Speaker 2: one woman. They're very different things, aren't they? 1515 01:16:43,452 --> 01:16:46,812 Speaker 11: Yes, very different things. It's just interesting. I do start 1516 01:16:46,893 --> 01:16:53,253 Speaker 11: thinking about it from I think the perspective of if 1517 01:16:53,333 --> 01:16:57,612 Speaker 11: you slipper and what the person receiving the adjectification feels. 1518 01:16:57,692 --> 01:17:01,133 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was just my comment. 1519 01:17:02,253 --> 01:17:04,293 Speaker 3: Thank you so much of you call Sarah, just quickly, 1520 01:17:04,333 --> 01:17:07,572 Speaker 3: Sarah on the Robert Irwin one and and you've hit 1521 01:17:07,612 --> 01:17:09,532 Speaker 3: the nail on the head there with with that point. 1522 01:17:09,572 --> 01:17:11,572 Speaker 3: But would you be you sound a bit younger than 1523 01:17:11,692 --> 01:17:14,052 Speaker 3: perhaps some of these women that were commenting on that photo. 1524 01:17:14,412 --> 01:17:16,492 Speaker 3: Do you think that is starting to change the way 1525 01:17:16,612 --> 01:17:21,173 Speaker 3: that younger females would comment on a provocative photo like that. 1526 01:17:22,772 --> 01:17:27,892 Speaker 11: Yeah, lot, I'm flattered. I'm forty five, so I think 1527 01:17:27,933 --> 01:17:34,333 Speaker 11: I'm probably right right, Yeah, but I yeah, possibly, I 1528 01:17:34,333 --> 01:17:37,412 Speaker 11: mean there's definitely it feels like there's a lot more 1529 01:17:37,412 --> 01:17:43,812 Speaker 11: awareness and sensitivity towards these things that perhaps the younger 1530 01:17:43,853 --> 01:17:49,652 Speaker 11: generation and i'd say particularly the male younger generations more 1531 01:17:49,692 --> 01:17:54,972 Speaker 11: aware of. And yeah, maybe over time, over generational changes, 1532 01:17:55,013 --> 01:17:55,972 Speaker 11: those things sort of shipped. 1533 01:17:56,173 --> 01:17:58,412 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so much for your call, Sarah, great 1534 01:17:58,492 --> 01:18:01,133 Speaker 3: call to finish.

I moved into my 1822 01:32:05,372 --> 01:32:09,492 Speaker 3: home beards laugh out loud.

But that's a risky move relationship. 1825 01:32:16,133 --> 01:32:19,452 Speaker 2: I've been running into more and more people recently who 1826 01:32:19,692 --> 01:32:23,012 Speaker 2: are abandoning the marital bed, not to jump into someone 1827 01:32:23,013 --> 01:32:27,973 Speaker 2: else's marital bed or good terrifying, but just so they 1828 01:32:28,013 --> 01:32:32,973 Speaker 2: sleep better snorers and and I listerally have talked to 1829 01:32:33,053 --> 01:32:35,572 Speaker 2: three people, three couples in recently. Just one of those 1830 01:32:35,612 --> 01:32:37,412 Speaker 2: things where you stay getting a topic and it comes 1831 01:32:37,492 --> 01:32:40,293 Speaker 2: up a lot, and they all swear by it, and 1832 01:32:40,333 --> 01:32:43,932 Speaker 2: they say amorous activities continuing at the same rate, even 1833 01:32:44,013 --> 01:32:47,012 Speaker 2: more because they're not disgusted by each other and angry 1834 01:32:47,053 --> 01:32:50,013 Speaker 2: all the time. The ones that are most happier when 1835 01:32:50,053 --> 01:32:53,412 Speaker 2: they are like the people moving into single beds and rooms. 1836 01:32:53,492 --> 01:32:57,133 Speaker 2: This is old school that's happening, and it sounds suppressing, 1837 01:32:57,692 --> 01:33:00,293 Speaker 2: But the people that do it swear by it. You know, 1838 01:33:00,372 --> 01:33:02,452 Speaker 2: you just invite your partner over to your single bed 1839 01:33:02,452 --> 01:33:05,133 Speaker 2: when the time's right. But the ones that have moved 1840 01:33:05,133 --> 01:33:09,172 Speaker 2: into different rooms permanently, they are and the happiest. 1841 01:33:09,372 --> 01:33:11,532 Speaker 3: That's the way to go. So separate rooms and you 1842 01:33:11,572 --> 01:33:13,213 Speaker 3: can still have your queen or your king. 1843 01:33:13,293 --> 01:33:15,293 Speaker 2: Because if you're trying to run your own sleep pattern 1844 01:33:15,692 --> 01:33:18,492 Speaker 2: yourself and there's someone else trying to run what they're 1845 01:33:18,532 --> 01:33:20,532 Speaker 2: doing with their sleep and they're having a bad sleep, 1846 01:33:20,572 --> 01:33:22,093 Speaker 2: you're having a good sleep.

It was a text that came through, 1880 01:35:12,532 --> 01:35:14,932 Speaker 3: and more and more texts are coming through on this. 1881 01:35:15,253 --> 01:35:18,652 Speaker 3: Sleeping in separate beds so sometimes called a sleep divorce 1882 01:35:18,732 --> 01:35:22,052 Speaker 3: and is becoming increasingly common among couples seeking to improve 1883 01:35:22,692 --> 01:35:25,892 Speaker 3: sleep quality and overall well being, addressing issues like as 1884 01:35:25,893 --> 01:35:29,652 Speaker 3: you said, snoring, different sleep schedules, or simply a preference 1885 01:35:29,652 --> 01:35:34,452 Speaker 3: for a personal space. So, according to research done into 1886 01:35:34,452 --> 01:35:38,452 Speaker 3: what has been called sleep divorce, while it might seem counterintuitive, 1887 01:35:38,572 --> 01:35:42,932 Speaker 3: sleeping separately can sometimes lead to stronger relationships by reducing 1888 01:35:42,933 --> 01:35:46,333 Speaker 3: stress and improving overall well being, as well as allowing 1889 01:35:46,372 --> 01:35:49,013 Speaker 3: for more time for individual activities and reflections. 1890 01:35:49,213 --> 01:35:52,333 Speaker 2: Yes, so many people are testing through that have moved 1891 01:35:52,333 --> 01:35:54,652 Speaker 2: into other rooms and moved into other beds. I think 1892 01:35:55,013 --> 01:35:57,973 Speaker 2: I would feel like the going into the shop and 1893 01:35:57,973 --> 01:36:01,012 Speaker 2: buying the two single beds for the same room would 1894 01:36:01,053 --> 01:36:04,812 Speaker 2: be too humiligating your Burt and earning it's up, Burt. 1895 01:36:05,093 --> 01:36:07,293 Speaker 2: I can't sleep, Burt you know that kind of situation. 1896 01:36:07,532 --> 01:36:08,933 Speaker 2: I don't think you want to be involved in a 1897 01:36:08,933 --> 01:36:11,293 Speaker 2: Bert Nerney situation and a. 1898 01:36:11,293 --> 01:36:14,532 Speaker 3: Couple and then that all eving to push them together. 1899 01:36:14,572 --> 01:36:16,532 Speaker 3: If you want to have some you know, a bit 1900 01:36:16,532 --> 01:36:17,173 Speaker 3: a sixy time. 1901 01:36:17,333 --> 01:36:18,852 Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need to do it on the bed, 1902 01:36:18,973 --> 01:36:23,692 Speaker 2: but different rooms. For some reason, that seems cooler for me. 1903 01:36:23,732 --> 01:36:25,293 Speaker 2: If you if your kids move out and you suddenly 1904 01:36:25,293 --> 01:36:26,772 Speaker 2: got a whole lot of spear rooms in the house, 1905 01:36:27,213 --> 01:36:29,333 Speaker 2: then one takes one room, one takes the other room. 1906 01:36:29,372 --> 01:36:30,892 Speaker 2: Maybe you could have three rooms. You could have the 1907 01:36:31,053 --> 01:36:33,293 Speaker 2: two sleeping rooms and the Amoris room. 1908 01:36:33,973 --> 01:36:34,852 Speaker 3: I like this out of that. 1909 01:36:36,692 --> 01:36:38,612 Speaker 2: So we are you sleeping to I might just stop 1910 01:36:38,652 --> 01:36:41,253 Speaker 2: off in the the Amoris room before I go into 1911 01:36:41,253 --> 01:36:42,772 Speaker 2: my room. I'll meet you in there. 1912 01:36:43,333 --> 01:36:47,973 Speaker 3: Honesty call, because I'm sure that you've slept in a 1913 01:36:48,013 --> 01:36:50,293 Speaker 3: separate bed, separate room from time to time with you 1914 01:36:50,492 --> 01:36:52,772 Speaker 3: with your partner on a sty call. Did you get 1915 01:36:52,812 --> 01:36:54,932 Speaker 3: a better night's sleep when you were sleeping in a different bed. 1916 01:36:55,093 --> 01:36:55,253 Speaker 7: Well? 1917 01:36:55,333 --> 01:36:56,892 Speaker 2: Do you know what I get offended by is when 1918 01:36:56,933 --> 01:36:58,412 Speaker 2: I'm going away, I have to go away for work 1919 01:36:58,412 --> 01:36:59,533 Speaker 2: a bit and my partner. 1920 01:36:59,253 --> 01:36:59,652 Speaker 1: Goes, Oh. 1921 01:36:59,732 --> 01:37:01,812 Speaker 2: The first thing she says is Oh God, I'll get 1922 01:37:01,853 --> 01:37:05,053 Speaker 2: such a good sleep and I mean to go. So 1923 01:37:05,133 --> 01:37:06,772 Speaker 2: your first thought is that you get a good sleep, 1924 01:37:06,812 --> 01:37:09,333 Speaker 2: not how much you'll miss me. You know that hurts. 1925 01:37:09,652 --> 01:37:12,612 Speaker 2: That hurts. I was talking before about body temperature. Body 1926 01:37:12,652 --> 01:37:15,932 Speaker 2: temperature natally drops before sleep, typically reaching its lowest point 1927 01:37:15,933 --> 01:37:18,892 Speaker 2: a few hours before waking. This temper drop is linked 1928 01:37:18,933 --> 01:37:22,052 Speaker 2: to the circadian rhythms. Blah blah blah. A cool sleeping 1929 01:37:22,133 --> 01:37:25,572 Speaker 2: environment is the best thing. Eighteen point three degrees or 1930 01:37:25,652 --> 01:37:28,492 Speaker 2: breathable bedding is what you want. So eighteenth point three 1931 01:37:28,532 --> 01:37:32,493 Speaker 2: degrees is apparently the perfect sleeping temperature. 1932 01:37:32,812 --> 01:37:35,892 Speaker 3: Eighteen point three Yeah, that is good. Well, how are 1933 01:37:35,933 --> 01:37:36,692 Speaker 3: you this afternoon? 1934 01:37:37,572 --> 01:37:37,852 Speaker 18: Good? 1935 01:37:38,013 --> 01:37:38,812 Speaker 15: How are you fellers? 1936 01:37:38,933 --> 01:37:39,213 Speaker 3: Good? 1937 01:37:39,692 --> 01:37:41,372 Speaker 2: Very good? Your thoughts on a good night's sleep. 1938 01:37:43,213 --> 01:37:45,532 Speaker 17: You've just got to exert yourself as much as you 1939 01:37:45,572 --> 01:37:49,253 Speaker 17: can during the day. Don't touch any screen an hour 1940 01:37:49,293 --> 01:37:51,812 Speaker 17: before bed, and then you should be logging it. 1941 01:37:53,013 --> 01:37:57,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, logging. Yeah, that thing of expending a lot of 1942 01:37:57,333 --> 01:38:00,253 Speaker 2: energy in the day is very important for sleep, isn't it. 1943 01:38:00,612 --> 01:38:04,253 Speaker 2: And a lot of us may be working sedentary jobs, 1944 01:38:04,732 --> 01:38:06,372 Speaker 2: you know, to a certain extent, like me and Tyler 1945 01:38:06,492 --> 01:38:08,732 Speaker 2: just sitting here on seats talking into Mike phones. You're 1946 01:38:08,732 --> 01:38:11,372 Speaker 2: not expending a lot of physical you know not. You're 1947 01:38:11,412 --> 01:38:14,293 Speaker 2: not becoming physically exhausted.

We're talking about sleeping, sleeping 2144 01:47:07,412 --> 01:47:10,293 Speaker 3: in separate beds. We started off on the best thing 2145 01:47:10,293 --> 01:47:13,452 Speaker 3: you've done to improve your sleep, and probably ninety percent 2146 01:47:13,452 --> 01:47:16,812 Speaker 3: of people say it's sleeping in different heads from their partner, husband, wife. 2147 01:47:17,213 --> 01:47:18,052 Speaker 3: Is the way to go. 2148 01:47:19,133 --> 01:47:21,572 Speaker 2: This Texas says, this subject is putting me to sleep. 2149 01:47:21,893 --> 01:47:25,572 Speaker 2: That's from Caine. Well you're welcome, Kane. Yeah, there you go, sleep, 2150 01:47:25,893 --> 01:47:26,333 Speaker 2: not night. 2151 01:47:26,572 --> 01:47:26,732 Speaker 7: Hey. 2152 01:47:26,772 --> 01:47:29,612 Speaker 2: One thing I will I remember about getting back to sleep. 2153 01:47:29,612 --> 01:47:31,452 Speaker 2: And I've actually bought this up before in the show 2154 01:47:31,612 --> 01:47:34,932 Speaker 2: A thing that changed my life. Because you know, if 2155 01:47:34,973 --> 01:47:36,013 Speaker 2: you need to get up in the middle of the 2156 01:47:36,053 --> 01:47:37,492 Speaker 2: night and never a wee or whatever you have to do, 2157 01:47:37,612 --> 01:47:38,972 Speaker 2: or there's something that you need to do, the dog 2158 01:47:39,053 --> 01:47:41,412 Speaker 2: needs something done, or whatever. One of the reasons why 2159 01:47:41,412 --> 01:47:42,932 Speaker 2: you struggle to get back to sleep is because your 2160 01:47:42,933 --> 01:47:45,692 Speaker 2: heart rate goes up massively when you get up. Just 2161 01:47:45,732 --> 01:47:48,772 Speaker 2: walking over to the bathroom makes your heart go and 2162 01:47:48,812 --> 01:47:51,012 Speaker 2: your heart actually has to be slow for you to sleep. 2163 01:47:51,692 --> 01:47:53,812 Speaker 2: And so that's why you lie in being and go 2164 01:47:53,853 --> 01:47:56,012 Speaker 2: Why am I suddenly so awake? It's because you've gone 2165 01:47:56,093 --> 01:47:58,093 Speaker 2: from sleep mode to wake mode to do the thing 2166 01:47:58,093 --> 01:47:58,932 Speaker 2: that you needed to do. 2167 01:47:59,053 --> 01:47:59,492 Speaker 3: Makes sense. 2168 01:47:59,532 --> 01:48:02,012 Speaker 2: So there's this fantastic breathing technique that I do now, 2169 01:48:02,093 --> 01:48:06,052 Speaker 2: which is called the four seven eight technique. So you're breathing, 2170 01:48:06,213 --> 01:48:08,732 Speaker 2: so you go to the bathroom if you need to 2171 01:48:08,812 --> 01:48:10,093 Speaker 2: or what do you need to do. Try not to 2172 01:48:10,093 --> 01:48:13,293 Speaker 2: turn on too many lights. Try and walk slowly towards 2173 01:48:13,372 --> 01:48:15,812 Speaker 2: the bathroom. Don't get up in a mass hurry, slide 2174 01:48:15,812 --> 01:48:18,132 Speaker 2: out of bed, slowly walk there, go in the dark. 2175 01:48:18,412 --> 01:48:20,652 Speaker 2: Whatever you need to do, do it slowly, not too 2176 01:48:20,732 --> 01:48:23,093 Speaker 2: much light. Get back into bed, and then you do 2177 01:48:23,173 --> 01:48:25,333 Speaker 2: the four seven eight technique, which is breathing in for 2178 01:48:25,333 --> 01:48:29,333 Speaker 2: four seconds, holding the breath for seven seconds, and exhaling 2179 01:48:29,492 --> 01:48:32,892 Speaker 2: for eight seconds. And this has been proven to slow 2180 01:48:32,973 --> 01:48:34,772 Speaker 2: your heart rate and so you can go back to sleep. 2181 01:48:34,812 --> 01:48:37,213 Speaker 2: It's also sort of a form of meditation, as you 2182 01:48:37,492 --> 01:48:42,133 Speaker 2: concentrate on four seconds in, hold for seven seconds and 2183 01:48:42,333 --> 01:48:44,933 Speaker 2: eight seconds out. But you know you don't have to 2184 01:48:44,933 --> 01:48:47,293 Speaker 2: worry about it seconds exactly, just to just account so 2185 01:48:47,973 --> 01:48:50,213 Speaker 2: you know, one, two, three fourths so four seven eight 2186 01:48:50,253 --> 01:48:53,053 Speaker 2: remember that? Boy, oh boy, does that work. It's a 2187 01:48:53,093 --> 01:48:54,452 Speaker 2: complete and utter game changer. 2188 01:48:54,572 --> 01:48:56,732 Speaker 3: Genuine question. If you have to get up in the 2189 01:48:56,772 --> 01:48:58,093 Speaker 3: middle of the night to go to the toilet, do 2190 01:48:58,093 --> 01:49:00,612 Speaker 3: you keep your mask on? Yep, you've worked that out 2191 01:49:00,652 --> 01:49:02,933 Speaker 3: now that you're able to feel your way to the 2192 01:49:02,933 --> 01:49:04,133 Speaker 3: bathroom keeping your mask on. 2193 01:49:04,372 --> 01:49:07,772 Speaker 2: I think I've been going to the bathroom. I don't 2194 01:49:07,812 --> 01:49:08,293 Speaker 2: know for sure. 2195 01:49:08,372 --> 01:49:10,372 Speaker 3: Yeah, is that while your partners say, what are these 2196 01:49:10,372 --> 01:49:12,652 Speaker 3: wet spots on the carpet mat?

So you know, the health department 2264 01:52:34,133 --> 01:52:40,213 Speaker 7: put me onto the sleep seatpet.

The 2267 01:52:49,053 --> 01:52:53,372 Speaker 7: breathing that helps you to breathe.
