I know there's a lot of sewage being 38 00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:09,653 Speaker 2: pumped into the ocean past the airport there, but where 39 00:02:09,693 --> 00:02:13,493 Speaker 2: I was in town and Oriental Bay and such was 40 00:02:13,653 --> 00:02:16,852 Speaker 2: absolutely beautiful. And I was down there for Nick Cave 41 00:02:16,933 --> 00:02:20,453 Speaker 2: and the Bad Seeds of the TSB Arena and it 42 00:02:20,613 --> 00:02:24,853 Speaker 2: was such a fantastic show. I went to the second 43 00:02:25,093 --> 00:02:30,013 Speaker 2: sold out show and it was a religious experience the show. 44 00:02:30,213 --> 00:02:33,933 Speaker 2: I think he played twenty five songs, and my partner, Tracy, 45 00:02:34,173 --> 00:02:36,653 Speaker 2: she said, the whole time she kept turning around. I 46 00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:38,093 Speaker 2: had such a big grin on my face that my 47 00:02:38,213 --> 00:02:41,373 Speaker 2: ad and actually my feet was so off from the 48 00:02:41,413 --> 00:02:44,093 Speaker 2: length of the show, but also my face was from smiling. 49 00:02:44,093 --> 00:02:47,533 Speaker 2: Because he's just such an iconic human being, such a 50 00:02:47,573 --> 00:02:51,773 Speaker 2: talented human being. There's so much sincerity and what he does. 51 00:02:51,853 --> 00:02:54,053 Speaker 2: He knows what he is. He doesn't care what you 52 00:02:54,093 --> 00:02:55,653 Speaker 2: think he is. He's never written a song to be 53 00:02:55,653 --> 00:02:59,813 Speaker 2: commercially successful. He just writes what he believes is important 54 00:02:59,853 --> 00:03:02,692 Speaker 2: and shares the experience of being a human and it's 55 00:03:02,972 --> 00:03:05,173 Speaker 2: something to behold, and he holds the audience in the 56 00:03:05,173 --> 00:03:08,933 Speaker 2: palm of his hands.

Their arrangements 60 00:03:19,493 --> 00:03:22,893 Speaker 2: of classic nick Cave and the Bad Sea songs would 61 00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:26,533 Speaker 2: just pushed them to another level. Had these four backup 62 00:03:26,573 --> 00:03:30,213 Speaker 2: singers just like gospel type backup singers that were so powerful, 63 00:03:30,252 --> 00:03:34,093 Speaker 2: but all the musicians were just it was just incredible. 64 00:03:34,373 --> 00:03:35,213 Speaker 3: You give me Gooseyes. 65 00:03:35,613 --> 00:03:37,933 Speaker 2: And there was one particular song that I was really 66 00:03:37,973 --> 00:03:40,693 Speaker 2: looking forward to because you know, people that know Nick 67 00:03:40,693 --> 00:03:43,333 Speaker 2: Cave know that he's had a lot of tragedy in 68 00:03:43,333 --> 00:03:46,533 Speaker 2: his life, including losing two of his children, and you know, 69 00:03:46,573 --> 00:03:49,133 Speaker 2: there's documentaries on this and such, and he's talked about 70 00:03:49,133 --> 00:03:52,573 Speaker 2: it a bit, but his grief has been so intense, 71 00:03:52,853 --> 00:03:55,893 Speaker 2: and he shared this grief in his music and on 72 00:03:55,933 --> 00:04:00,333 Speaker 2: his latest album, Wild Wild God, there's a song called 73 00:04:00,373 --> 00:04:05,293 Speaker 2: Joy and it's just about he wakes up and he 74 00:04:05,813 --> 00:04:09,053 Speaker 2: remembers that someone in his family's dead, and he's, you know, 75 00:04:09,373 --> 00:04:13,293 Speaker 2: very emotional.

Usually the recent Super Bowls have 128 00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:02,493 Speaker 5: been three or under, so four and a half is 129 00:07:02,493 --> 00:07:04,413 Speaker 5: pretty big. Seattle is the favorite going in. 130 00:07:05,453 --> 00:07:10,253 Speaker 2: And so what is it like? What is the Super 131 00:07:10,293 --> 00:07:12,493 Speaker 2: Bowl actually like in the United States? How big is 132 00:07:12,533 --> 00:07:15,613 Speaker 2: it and what does it look like for an American 133 00:07:15,853 --> 00:07:18,373 Speaker 2: on Super Bowl on Super bwel. 134 00:07:18,213 --> 00:07:22,533 Speaker 5: Day, Well, it dominates every single conversation. That's probably the 135 00:07:22,533 --> 00:07:24,573 Speaker 5: best part. As I was thinking about this is obviously 136 00:07:24,573 --> 00:07:26,773 Speaker 5: you have the big holidays of the year. You have 137 00:07:26,853 --> 00:07:29,733 Speaker 5: Christmas in Eastern and even the fourth of July, and 138 00:07:29,733 --> 00:07:32,853 Speaker 5: that's you know, those are a lot of family centric 139 00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:35,813 Speaker 5: holidays and that's at home and the family. Super Bowl 140 00:07:35,893 --> 00:07:40,013 Speaker 5: is everybody family but friends, colleagues, Like it just brings 141 00:07:40,093 --> 00:07:42,853 Speaker 5: everybody together and you don't really need to have a 142 00:07:42,893 --> 00:07:44,533 Speaker 5: dog in the fight. You don't ever really have a 143 00:07:44,533 --> 00:07:47,373 Speaker 5: team minute, but like it's just you and you know, 144 00:07:47,413 --> 00:07:49,253 Speaker 5: you're not at home, like for Christmas, for example, you 145 00:07:49,333 --> 00:07:51,693 Speaker 5: have like Christmas dinner at home. Usually that's the standard. 146 00:07:52,533 --> 00:07:55,693 Speaker 5: That's the traditional way to celebrate Super Bowl. You go 147 00:07:55,733 --> 00:07:57,213 Speaker 5: to a friend's house, you go to a bar, and 148 00:07:57,253 --> 00:07:59,493 Speaker 5: you just it's an excuse to really just hang out 149 00:07:59,493 --> 00:08:01,893 Speaker 5: with outside of outside of the family, with friends. So 150 00:08:01,893 --> 00:08:03,173 Speaker 5: it really brings everybody together. 151 00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:06,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, for people listening to New Zealand and I'm not 152 00:08:06,133 --> 00:08:08,133 Speaker 3: today familiar with the Super Bowl and the wondering about 153 00:08:08,133 --> 00:08:11,013 Speaker 3: the hype and excitement, is there an analogy you can 154 00:08:11,053 --> 00:08:14,373 Speaker 3: pick for you know, how much we'd get excited in 155 00:08:14,413 --> 00:08:17,133 Speaker 3: New Zealand. Is this like a World Cup, a cricket 156 00:08:17,173 --> 00:08:19,693 Speaker 3: World Cup and the America's Cup all rolled into one. 157 00:08:20,813 --> 00:08:23,333 Speaker 5: I did okay, yeah, so I think I compare it 158 00:08:23,373 --> 00:08:25,813 Speaker 5: to the Rugby World Cup final that was what two 159 00:08:25,893 --> 00:08:28,213 Speaker 5: years ago, three years ago, that was very similar and 160 00:08:28,253 --> 00:08:30,853 Speaker 5: it had such a cooler vibe to the national tatler. 161 00:08:30,933 --> 00:08:33,173 Speaker 5: Right it's the New Zealand of the country, which I 162 00:08:33,173 --> 00:08:35,773 Speaker 5: thought was very cool. Everybody kind of getting together for it. 163 00:08:36,852 --> 00:08:38,492 Speaker 5: But I mean, I mean, obviously more people, I think, 164 00:08:38,573 --> 00:08:40,413 Speaker 5: just like the hype levels were higher. I think, just 165 00:08:40,492 --> 00:08:44,372 Speaker 5: louder over overall, I think generally, But no, I mean, honestly, 166 00:08:44,372 --> 00:08:47,653 Speaker 5: that World Cup a few years ago was comparabil I said, 167 00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:50,732 Speaker 5: about seventy percent of the of the hype for that 168 00:08:50,892 --> 00:08:52,533 Speaker 5: is a usual super Bowl instance. 169 00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:56,772 Speaker 2: Now Bill Berr, the American comedian of City, won't go 170 00:08:56,813 --> 00:08:59,772 Speaker 2: to Super Bowl parties because people don't care about the game. 171 00:08:59,852 --> 00:09:02,413 Speaker 2: They care about the ads and the halftime show and 172 00:09:02,492 --> 00:09:04,612 Speaker 2: talk right through the game. Is that true? How much 173 00:09:04,773 --> 00:09:08,973 Speaker 2: of the Super Bowl is really for non fans? 174 00:09:09,012 --> 00:09:11,213 Speaker 5: It's so true. I'm actually been with it right now. 175 00:09:11,252 --> 00:09:14,093 Speaker 5: So I'm up and taking and watching the game at 176 00:09:14,132 --> 00:09:16,253 Speaker 5: a bar and I like to lock in, you know, 177 00:09:16,453 --> 00:09:19,373 Speaker 5: and I don't have a team in there. But you 178 00:09:19,453 --> 00:09:21,573 Speaker 5: go to these parties or some of these events, and 179 00:09:21,612 --> 00:09:23,213 Speaker 5: you know, people are just trying to be nice, you know, 180 00:09:23,213 --> 00:09:25,333 Speaker 5: they're just like, hey, you know, what do you think 181 00:09:25,372 --> 00:09:26,933 Speaker 5: about the halftime show? Or what do you think about 182 00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:30,093 Speaker 5: that commercial? And there is just a lot of outside 183 00:09:30,132 --> 00:09:33,093 Speaker 5: noise because I agree with Bill Burr, especially because Bill 184 00:09:33,093 --> 00:09:35,693 Speaker 5: Burr is the Patriots fan, so he's he's been in 185 00:09:35,773 --> 00:09:37,933 Speaker 5: these Super Bowls and wanted to root for the Patriots. 186 00:09:37,973 --> 00:09:40,973 Speaker 5: So it's like if I my team is the Chicago Bears. 187 00:09:40,973 --> 00:09:43,932 Speaker 5: So if the Bears, ever god willing, are in the 188 00:09:43,973 --> 00:09:47,293 Speaker 5: Super Bowl, I think I'll just go to a cave 189 00:09:47,413 --> 00:09:49,252 Speaker 5: and watch it all by myself because I wouldn't be 190 00:09:49,293 --> 00:09:51,492 Speaker 5: able to handle it because there's so much outside noise 191 00:09:51,653 --> 00:09:52,093 Speaker 5: you don't. 192 00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:52,253 Speaker 7: Have a team. 193 00:09:52,533 --> 00:09:54,333 Speaker 8: Yeah, speaking of outside noises, is there're a little bit 194 00:09:54,413 --> 00:09:58,373 Speaker 8: less hype this year because there's few of superstars in 195 00:09:58,453 --> 00:10:01,733 Speaker 8: this and and sort of missing a big storyline in 196 00:10:01,773 --> 00:10:02,653 Speaker 8: this Super Bowl? 197 00:10:02,693 --> 00:10:06,013 Speaker 2: Would you say? Or am I just experiencing it differently 198 00:10:06,093 --> 00:10:07,772 Speaker 2: because my beloved Ram's get knocked. 199 00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:10,492 Speaker 5: Out and I don't actually I condump to this. I 200 00:10:10,492 --> 00:10:12,612 Speaker 5: should love with thought Mad I'm sorry about your Rams 201 00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,053 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago to want to bring it up, 202 00:10:14,333 --> 00:10:17,573 Speaker 5: but yeah, no, no, no, I think this Super Bowl. I mean, obviously, 203 00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:19,172 Speaker 5: every Super Bowl is going to be, you know, the 204 00:10:19,213 --> 00:10:21,693 Speaker 5: biggest scoring event of the year, but this year little 205 00:10:21,773 --> 00:10:24,613 Speaker 5: is a little tamer, is because these two teams, just 206 00:10:24,573 --> 00:10:26,773 Speaker 5: to give an idea, I mean, the Seahawks were fifty 207 00:10:26,813 --> 00:10:28,573 Speaker 5: to one at the be end of the year to 208 00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:31,613 Speaker 5: make the Super Bowl, and New England was sixty to one. 209 00:10:31,773 --> 00:10:34,053 Speaker 5: So these are two teams that had really no chance 210 00:10:34,093 --> 00:10:36,893 Speaker 5: going into the season came out of absolutely nowhere. So 211 00:10:36,933 --> 00:10:39,013 Speaker 5: it's like they're they're good stories. So I just don't 212 00:10:39,012 --> 00:10:41,973 Speaker 5: think we've had time even to know the players. I mean, 213 00:10:42,012 --> 00:10:46,013 Speaker 5: this this Patriots quarterback is is twenty three years old 214 00:10:46,132 --> 00:10:49,013 Speaker 5: in Drake May. So they're good stories, but you just 215 00:10:49,012 --> 00:10:51,852 Speaker 5: don't have that, you know, the historical you know, big 216 00:10:51,892 --> 00:10:54,973 Speaker 5: figure like you're Patrick Mahomes or your Tom Brady. Obviously 217 00:10:55,053 --> 00:10:58,813 Speaker 5: it's lacking that that international superstar for that that appeal. 218 00:10:58,933 --> 00:11:03,573 Speaker 5: So the game is it's a little more tame. But again, 219 00:11:03,612 --> 00:11:05,093 Speaker 5: I mean it's such a it's such a huger one. 220 00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:06,973 Speaker 5: I mean there's like, what there's like one hundred and 221 00:11:07,012 --> 00:11:08,853 Speaker 5: eighty million people that are going a lot this thing, 222 00:11:08,892 --> 00:11:11,612 Speaker 5: and you got Bad Bunny at halftime bringing like a 223 00:11:11,653 --> 00:11:15,293 Speaker 5: whole different crowd into it, so it is still it 224 00:11:15,372 --> 00:11:16,173 Speaker 5: is still such. 225 00:11:16,012 --> 00:11:16,613 Speaker 9: A huge deal. 226 00:11:16,892 --> 00:11:17,172 Speaker 2: Yeah. 227 00:11:17,372 --> 00:11:20,053 Speaker 3: Thing that creaks me up, Chris is the hype around 228 00:11:20,053 --> 00:11:22,412 Speaker 3: the ads. You know, for any sportswa washer I watch it, 229 00:11:22,492 --> 00:11:23,933 Speaker 3: the ads are the worst part. But when it comes 230 00:11:23,973 --> 00:11:26,973 Speaker 3: to Super Bowl, the entertainment value around there and there's 231 00:11:26,973 --> 00:11:29,133 Speaker 3: a couple of playing as we speak right now, but 232 00:11:29,173 --> 00:11:30,973 Speaker 3: as that always been part of the hype that these 233 00:11:31,012 --> 00:11:33,813 Speaker 3: businesses go full noise into it to make it as 234 00:11:33,973 --> 00:11:37,412 Speaker 3: entertaining as possible. Clearly because they've got hundreds of millions watching. 235 00:11:38,293 --> 00:11:39,652 Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I think right, this is the the 236 00:11:39,773 --> 00:11:42,892 Speaker 5: NFL's platform to appeal to. Not you're just her every day. 237 00:11:42,973 --> 00:11:44,413 Speaker 5: I mean, because I know Matt and I even we 238 00:11:44,453 --> 00:11:47,173 Speaker 5: watch NFL every Monday every Sunday, so you get those 239 00:11:47,213 --> 00:11:49,772 Speaker 5: fans in. This is their platform to bring in all 240 00:11:49,773 --> 00:11:53,293 Speaker 5: the different demographics, age groups, I mean everything. So that's 241 00:11:53,293 --> 00:11:55,933 Speaker 5: what you have. These superstars and these movie stars and 242 00:11:55,973 --> 00:11:58,252 Speaker 5: these ads, and it's really like a three and a 243 00:11:58,293 --> 00:12:00,973 Speaker 5: half hour movie, so you don't take any break away 244 00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:02,732 Speaker 5: from the screen. I mean I just watched a few 245 00:12:02,732 --> 00:12:06,173 Speaker 5: commercial already, and the star power is just it's every 246 00:12:06,293 --> 00:12:09,453 Speaker 5: single second you have something coming up. Yeah, I mean 247 00:12:09,453 --> 00:12:12,213 Speaker 5: it's huge. It's a huge American the opportunity. That's why 248 00:12:12,213 --> 00:12:14,973 Speaker 5: they're spending you know, fifty million. He's been a longing 249 00:12:15,093 --> 00:12:15,973 Speaker 5: ad spaces for this. 250 00:12:16,372 --> 00:12:19,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, love it, Chris, fantastic to chat with you.

It's a daily 255 00:12:30,732 --> 00:12:32,493 Speaker 5: sort of a struggle, but I do it. 256 00:12:33,012 --> 00:12:35,652 Speaker 2: I had a hell heigh Yeah, foot full fans appreciate it. 257 00:12:35,892 --> 00:12:37,852 Speaker 3: Yeah, Chris, good to catch up. 258 00:12:37,852 --> 00:12:38,053 Speaker 10: Mate. 259 00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:41,533 Speaker 3: Enjoyed this afternoon.

It is twenty past one. 266 00:13:02,213 --> 00:13:04,453 Speaker 3: So let's get into this discussion. We had a chat 267 00:13:04,492 --> 00:13:08,292 Speaker 3: with it about it with Azaria how our political report. 268 00:13:08,852 --> 00:13:13,333 Speaker 3: So opposition parties they are criticizing some comments David Seymour 269 00:13:13,453 --> 00:13:16,973 Speaker 3: made over White Tonguey Weekend. Here's a little bit of 270 00:13:16,973 --> 00:13:17,493 Speaker 3: what he said. 271 00:13:17,653 --> 00:13:19,933 Speaker 11: Well, you only have to look at New Zealand as 272 00:13:19,973 --> 00:13:23,493 Speaker 11: a success story, Evan, the poorest people in New Zealand 273 00:13:23,573 --> 00:13:26,813 Speaker 11: today are living like kings and queen's compared with most 274 00:13:26,852 --> 00:13:29,533 Speaker 11: places at most times in history. I think that you 275 00:13:29,612 --> 00:13:32,692 Speaker 11: could hardly say that being one of the most successful 276 00:13:32,732 --> 00:13:35,093 Speaker 11: societies of the world today, which New Zealand is, we 277 00:13:35,132 --> 00:13:38,012 Speaker 11: sometimes forget what it is, you can hardly say that 278 00:13:38,012 --> 00:13:38,973 Speaker 11: that's a poor outcome. 279 00:13:40,093 --> 00:13:43,493 Speaker 3: So it's an interesting comment, and no, you know, it's 280 00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:46,253 Speaker 3: no surprise to anyone who's been criticized by the opposition parties. 281 00:13:46,252 --> 00:13:47,892 Speaker 3: He always is. But we want to have a chat 282 00:13:47,973 --> 00:13:50,693 Speaker 3: to you about what he set. Is it wrong to 283 00:13:50,892 --> 00:13:55,172 Speaker 3: celebrate the progress that we have made over the past 284 00:13:55,213 --> 00:13:58,932 Speaker 3: fifty hundred years, because, as he mentioned, in the historical context, 285 00:13:59,492 --> 00:14:01,933 Speaker 3: when you look at how people were living fifteen one 286 00:14:01,973 --> 00:14:05,253 Speaker 3: hundred years ago, I think it is a solid grounded 287 00:14:05,372 --> 00:14:09,213 Speaker 3: argument that people in twenty twenty six, the var majority, 288 00:14:09,653 --> 00:14:12,333 Speaker 3: are living in times that people back then would consider 289 00:14:12,372 --> 00:14:13,973 Speaker 3: you were living like a king and queen. 290 00:14:13,973 --> 00:14:16,173 Speaker 2: In New Zealand. Yes, I mean there's lots of parts 291 00:14:16,173 --> 00:14:17,732 Speaker 2: of the world that aren't, although it's better than it's 292 00:14:17,732 --> 00:14:23,413 Speaker 2: ever been. Where now I believe poverty rates are I'll 293 00:14:23,453 --> 00:14:26,493 Speaker 2: get the figure, but even at the turn of the century, 294 00:14:26,533 --> 00:14:29,053 Speaker 2: it was, you know, the poverty rates up around sixty percent, 295 00:14:29,093 --> 00:14:31,013 Speaker 2: and now they're down to ten percent. Globally, you know, 296 00:14:31,133 --> 00:14:34,653 Speaker 2: extreme poverty, you know when you're worried about starvation. But 297 00:14:34,813 --> 00:14:37,133 Speaker 2: you know, New Zealand is one of the wealthiest, most stable, 298 00:14:38,373 --> 00:14:41,412 Speaker 2: fairest countries that has ever existed. I mean, I think 299 00:14:41,453 --> 00:14:43,613 Speaker 2: I think everyone would agree with that. I think that's 300 00:14:43,813 --> 00:14:49,172 Speaker 2: objectively true, and that we have systems in place to 301 00:14:49,253 --> 00:14:52,253 Speaker 2: support our poorest people, which is which is rare in 302 00:14:52,333 --> 00:14:56,253 Speaker 2: terms of history and rare in terms of the world. So, 303 00:14:56,733 --> 00:14:59,173 Speaker 2: you know, even the poorest people in New Zealand, there 304 00:14:59,293 --> 00:15:01,213 Speaker 2: is a huge amount of money invested in trying to 305 00:15:01,213 --> 00:15:03,773 Speaker 2: help them out, massive amounts of money invested in trying 306 00:15:03,813 --> 00:15:06,613 Speaker 2: to help them out, and that wasn't always the case. 307 00:15:07,213 --> 00:15:09,013 Speaker 2: This text says Hi. There, I've done a lot of 308 00:15:09,053 --> 00:15:11,293 Speaker 2: traveling and I completely agree with Seymour. Whether it people 309 00:15:11,373 --> 00:15:13,853 Speaker 2: like it or not, it is true, says Jay. But 310 00:15:13,893 --> 00:15:16,053 Speaker 2: this stick says Hi Tyler and Matt. I think what 311 00:15:16,133 --> 00:15:18,933 Speaker 2: Seymour has said is ignorant and downplaying the hardship that 312 00:15:18,973 --> 00:15:21,493 Speaker 2: some Kibis are going through. Don't get me wrong, what 313 00:15:21,533 --> 00:15:24,493 Speaker 2: he said is factually correct, but it can be correct 314 00:15:24,533 --> 00:15:26,373 Speaker 2: and ignorant at the same time. I'm not sure if 315 00:15:26,413 --> 00:15:28,533 Speaker 2: that's true. You could easily say someone living in the 316 00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:30,412 Speaker 2: slums of the most impoverished country in the world is 317 00:15:30,453 --> 00:15:32,813 Speaker 2: living like a king and queen compared with someone in 318 00:15:32,893 --> 00:15:36,013 Speaker 2: previous history in the twelve hundreds, people have a life 319 00:15:36,053 --> 00:15:38,133 Speaker 2: expectancy of thirty. That doesn't change the fact that the 320 00:15:38,133 --> 00:15:42,413 Speaker 2: person today is living life rough. It's a stupid comparison 321 00:15:42,453 --> 00:15:46,253 Speaker 2: and an ignorant statement, But isn't it Also isn't there 322 00:15:46,293 --> 00:15:52,773 Speaker 2: some worth and people acknowledging that they have it okay? 323 00:15:54,093 --> 00:15:57,773 Speaker 2: Isn't it worth comparing yourself to people that have it 324 00:15:57,893 --> 00:16:02,253 Speaker 2: worse such that you feel better about yourself and your situation. 325 00:16:03,093 --> 00:16:06,733 Speaker 2: So if it's correct, then it has some worth to 326 00:16:06,813 --> 00:16:08,253 Speaker 2: say it, doesn't it? 327 00:16:08,493 --> 00:16:11,093 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean to me, the line that got me 328 00:16:11,453 --> 00:16:13,412 Speaker 3: was when he mentioned New Zealand a is one of 329 00:16:13,453 --> 00:16:16,733 Speaker 3: the most successful countries in the world and two often 330 00:16:16,773 --> 00:16:19,213 Speaker 3: we forget that. So when I heard that. To me, 331 00:16:19,373 --> 00:16:23,013 Speaker 3: that's about gratitude, gratitude for the progress that we have 332 00:16:23,093 --> 00:16:25,493 Speaker 3: made as a country. And he is factually correct, but 333 00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:27,893 Speaker 3: what's wrong with having gratitude on how far we've come? 334 00:16:28,053 --> 00:16:30,013 Speaker 3: That to me was the essence of what I heard 335 00:16:30,053 --> 00:16:32,412 Speaker 3: in that message, that let's not get down in the 336 00:16:32,493 --> 00:16:34,733 Speaker 3: dumps New Zealand and think that it's all over and 337 00:16:34,773 --> 00:16:37,373 Speaker 3: everything's terrible and we're going in the wrong direction. It's 338 00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:40,653 Speaker 3: just not historically true when you look at how far 339 00:16:40,693 --> 00:16:42,293 Speaker 3: we've become, and quite often we forget that. 340 00:16:42,613 --> 00:16:44,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, and whilst you know New Zealand is one of 341 00:16:44,493 --> 00:16:46,853 Speaker 2: the most equal countries in the world in terms of 342 00:16:46,933 --> 00:16:51,213 Speaker 2: wealth distribution, it is also hard though, isn't it So 343 00:16:51,333 --> 00:16:54,733 Speaker 2: if you are struggling and you've got not much and 344 00:16:54,853 --> 00:16:58,453 Speaker 2: you see other people with a lot more so. For example, 345 00:16:59,013 --> 00:17:01,093 Speaker 2: he was asked, if you know the poorest New Zealand 346 00:17:01,093 --> 00:17:02,932 Speaker 2: living like kings and queens, what are you living like 347 00:17:03,013 --> 00:17:06,373 Speaker 2: David Seymour, And you know, he said, well, he made 348 00:17:06,373 --> 00:17:08,132 Speaker 2: a joke about being a slave to the media. But 349 00:17:08,813 --> 00:17:11,053 Speaker 2: the thing is that that is the problem people. It's 350 00:17:11,093 --> 00:17:14,013 Speaker 2: who you compare yourself to. So it's hard to hear 351 00:17:14,093 --> 00:17:16,373 Speaker 2: that you've got it good when you see someone drive 352 00:17:16,453 --> 00:17:19,693 Speaker 2: past you and one of theo in like a Porschekun 353 00:17:19,853 --> 00:17:23,533 Speaker 2: right yep, and you're just struggling to you know, pay 354 00:17:23,533 --> 00:17:26,013 Speaker 2: for your war on a fitness. So I think that's 355 00:17:26,013 --> 00:17:28,213 Speaker 2: where the anger comes from. Right, So it might be 356 00:17:28,293 --> 00:17:31,613 Speaker 2: quantifiably true that you have better. You have it better now. 357 00:17:32,693 --> 00:17:36,133 Speaker 2: The poorest in New Zealand have it better than nearly 358 00:17:36,133 --> 00:17:40,333 Speaker 2: anyone nearly any time of history, and comparatively better around 359 00:17:40,373 --> 00:17:43,093 Speaker 2: the globe. But then you see someone cruise past in 360 00:17:43,173 --> 00:17:47,453 Speaker 2: their two hundred and fifty thousand dollars SUV and you go, well, 361 00:17:47,613 --> 00:17:49,013 Speaker 2: you know you get envy. 362 00:17:48,853 --> 00:17:50,653 Speaker 3: Right, yep, you do.

I've been to Calkata and Bangladesh, 393 00:19:04,213 --> 00:19:06,813 Speaker 15: Decca and whilst there are some other parts of the 394 00:19:06,853 --> 00:19:10,253 Speaker 15: world that have more extreme poverty, there are not many. 395 00:19:11,293 --> 00:19:15,093 Speaker 15: And the abject conditions that these people live in you 396 00:19:15,093 --> 00:19:18,093 Speaker 15: will not find in New Zealand. I'm not saying we 397 00:19:18,133 --> 00:19:21,213 Speaker 15: don't have a job to do. We certainly do, and 398 00:19:21,773 --> 00:19:24,532 Speaker 15: we need to try and look those that are struggling 399 00:19:24,693 --> 00:19:27,333 Speaker 15: in terms of the well being in the country. We 400 00:19:27,413 --> 00:19:30,013 Speaker 15: need to look them up. But New Zealand has a 401 00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:34,653 Speaker 15: very robust and a very broad social social work for network. 402 00:19:35,053 --> 00:19:38,453 Speaker 15: Some would say it's too generous, but nevertheless we have one. 403 00:19:38,613 --> 00:19:40,893 Speaker 15: And some of these countries that go have nothing. 404 00:19:41,533 --> 00:19:44,493 Speaker 2: Can you describe what poverty looks like in one of 405 00:19:44,533 --> 00:19:47,813 Speaker 2: these countries that you've visited. 406 00:19:48,493 --> 00:19:52,653 Speaker 15: So my last trip to Bangladesh would have been downtown Daka. 407 00:19:53,133 --> 00:19:55,133 Speaker 15: And the other problem with Dhaka is when the floods 408 00:19:55,173 --> 00:19:58,293 Speaker 15: come that concentrates the population of the high ground, which 409 00:19:58,333 --> 00:20:01,853 Speaker 15: tends to be the city. You will have a mother 410 00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:04,213 Speaker 15: sitting on the side of the road with three or 411 00:20:04,213 --> 00:20:08,853 Speaker 15: four kids, begging or be doing some exceedingly mundane role 412 00:20:08,973 --> 00:20:11,653 Speaker 15: like just trying to collect rubbish and whatever else in 413 00:20:11,733 --> 00:20:14,573 Speaker 15: compiling it to get enough to be able to get 414 00:20:14,573 --> 00:20:18,653 Speaker 15: a meal for the day.

I think that you 501 00:24:53,373 --> 00:24:56,453 Speaker 11: could hardly say that being one of the most successful 502 00:24:56,453 --> 00:24:58,853 Speaker 11: societies of the world today, which New Zealand is, we 503 00:24:58,893 --> 00:25:01,773 Speaker 11: sometimes forget what it is. You can hardly say that 504 00:25:01,773 --> 00:25:02,733 Speaker 11: that's a poor outcome. 505 00:25:03,573 --> 00:25:06,573 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to argue with the point he's 506 00:25:06,933 --> 00:25:10,813 Speaker 2: making compared to history, right, because a stat that people 507 00:25:10,853 --> 00:25:14,693 Speaker 2: forget is that most humans that were ever born didn't 508 00:25:14,693 --> 00:25:18,453 Speaker 2: make it to adulthood. So you know, if you've already 509 00:25:18,533 --> 00:25:22,413 Speaker 2: made it to adulthood, and by adulthood that means puberty, 510 00:25:22,493 --> 00:25:24,813 Speaker 2: So if you've made it to thirteen or fourteen, then 511 00:25:24,813 --> 00:25:28,453 Speaker 2: you're doing better than most humans born across history. Although 512 00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:30,493 Speaker 2: to be fair, I mean a long life, that's a 513 00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:35,333 Speaker 2: horrible life, you know, may not seem like a great thing. 514 00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:37,413 Speaker 2: But to look at his point about kings and queens, 515 00:25:37,413 --> 00:25:41,532 Speaker 2: and I think that's kind what is triggering people because 516 00:25:41,573 --> 00:25:44,493 Speaker 2: he's just talking, he's answering a question, and it's triggering 517 00:25:44,533 --> 00:25:46,893 Speaker 2: to people to hear that because I walk past someone 518 00:25:47,253 --> 00:25:49,573 Speaker 2: who's lying in their own feces on the street and go, 519 00:25:49,613 --> 00:25:51,733 Speaker 2: we you don't seem to be living like a king. Although, 520 00:25:51,813 --> 00:25:53,173 Speaker 2: to be fair, kings and queens, some of them were 521 00:25:53,213 --> 00:25:55,373 Speaker 2: into that kind of thing. But if you look at 522 00:25:55,373 --> 00:26:00,693 Speaker 2: what material hardship is considered by our government, and let's 523 00:26:00,733 --> 00:26:02,733 Speaker 2: be clear, we want it would be great if no 524 00:26:02,773 --> 00:26:05,533 Speaker 2: one was you know, everyone was lifted up. You know, 525 00:26:05,573 --> 00:26:08,573 Speaker 2: of course that's a great society. Just because New zeald 526 00:26:08,653 --> 00:26:11,333 Speaker 2: is one of the best doesn't mean we can't do more. 527 00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:16,853 Speaker 2: But material hardship as defined by the Ministry of Social Development, 528 00:26:17,573 --> 00:26:20,933 Speaker 2: So households are considered in hardship if they lack six 529 00:26:21,133 --> 00:26:24,133 Speaker 2: or more essential items. So this is from the list 530 00:26:24,533 --> 00:26:29,373 Speaker 2: adequate heating yep, okay, weather proof housing right, two pairs 531 00:26:29,373 --> 00:26:33,773 Speaker 2: of shoes, being able to replace worn out clothes, fresh 532 00:26:33,813 --> 00:26:37,213 Speaker 2: fruit and vegetables, ability to pay power bills on time, 533 00:26:37,773 --> 00:26:41,613 Speaker 2: access to the Internet at home. Right, So you know 534 00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:45,333 Speaker 2: that's adequate heating, waterproof housing, two pairs of shoes, replaced 535 00:26:45,453 --> 00:26:47,933 Speaker 2: worn out clothes, fresh fruit and vegetables, ability to pay 536 00:26:47,973 --> 00:26:51,253 Speaker 2: power bills, and access to internet at home. So that's 537 00:26:51,333 --> 00:26:55,013 Speaker 2: hardship in New Zealand. So I don't know, I mean 538 00:26:55,053 --> 00:26:57,653 Speaker 2: there was. I mean it's just a big glib. You know, 539 00:26:57,733 --> 00:26:59,733 Speaker 2: the Kings didn't and queens didn't have the Internet. 540 00:26:59,893 --> 00:27:02,093 Speaker 3: No, No, that was I mean they would have loved 541 00:27:02,093 --> 00:27:03,773 Speaker 3: to have that, I'm sure, but even. 542 00:27:03,733 --> 00:27:05,373 Speaker 2: Just but I mean, isn't it great to live in 543 00:27:05,413 --> 00:27:07,653 Speaker 2: a country that can list that as material hardship? 544 00:27:07,733 --> 00:27:11,053 Speaker 3: Exactly? Been excess to fresh fruit you know, and vegetables. 545 00:27:11,453 --> 00:27:14,133 Speaker 3: Even the kings and queens two hundred years back, that 546 00:27:14,213 --> 00:27:17,733 Speaker 3: would be an absolute luxury and would have cost a fortune. Dallas, 547 00:27:17,733 --> 00:27:18,173 Speaker 3: how are you? 548 00:27:19,533 --> 00:27:19,733 Speaker 17: Yeah? 549 00:27:19,773 --> 00:27:23,533 Speaker 19: And also we get free and veggies off season two 550 00:27:23,693 --> 00:27:25,573 Speaker 19: all year round, if you know, if you want to 551 00:27:25,733 --> 00:27:29,653 Speaker 19: sometimes so, But mad I just want to thank you 552 00:27:29,693 --> 00:27:31,373 Speaker 19: for something you said a couple of weeks ago. But 553 00:27:31,653 --> 00:27:34,213 Speaker 19: we don't have to solve the world's problems, you know. 554 00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:38,133 Speaker 19: We don't have to worry about America's problems or the 555 00:27:38,213 --> 00:27:42,173 Speaker 19: UK's problems, you know. But we're often we hear it 556 00:27:42,253 --> 00:27:44,333 Speaker 19: like the news is coming from around the world and 557 00:27:44,533 --> 00:27:47,572 Speaker 19: it's awful everywhere, and we feel like, oh, you know, 558 00:27:47,613 --> 00:27:50,253 Speaker 19: we have to worry about that. But that was great 559 00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:51,053 Speaker 19: what you said there. 560 00:27:51,133 --> 00:27:51,853 Speaker 15: So thanks for that. 561 00:27:52,293 --> 00:27:53,413 Speaker 2: Oh, no problem. 562 00:27:54,053 --> 00:27:57,933 Speaker 19: Yeah. And as far as I mean, I've got friends 563 00:27:57,933 --> 00:28:02,532 Speaker 19: and who I support in the Philippines and Kenya and 564 00:28:02,853 --> 00:28:05,613 Speaker 19: over those countries. If you don't work, you don't eat, 565 00:28:07,053 --> 00:28:11,213 Speaker 19: and there's no welfare, and there's high levels of corruption 566 00:28:11,413 --> 00:28:17,333 Speaker 19: and so that the money doesn't trickle down to the poor, 567 00:28:17,813 --> 00:28:21,613 Speaker 19: you know, very rarely. So in those senses, we are 568 00:28:21,933 --> 00:28:25,573 Speaker 19: so blessed to have low levels of corruption in high 569 00:28:25,653 --> 00:28:29,373 Speaker 19: places and a welfare system. 570 00:28:29,733 --> 00:28:32,333 Speaker 2: Do you think the weal welfare system is something that 571 00:28:32,373 --> 00:28:34,173 Speaker 2: we should be proud of? 572 00:28:35,693 --> 00:28:38,213 Speaker 15: Absolutely, it's a real. 573 00:28:39,613 --> 00:28:42,573 Speaker 19: I mean, I feel sorry for my friends in these places, 574 00:28:42,653 --> 00:28:46,653 Speaker 19: these silver countries. There's no welfare system, and especially when 575 00:28:46,693 --> 00:28:50,973 Speaker 19: they get sick, it's it's really expensive because it's all 576 00:28:50,973 --> 00:28:52,053 Speaker 19: privatized over there. 577 00:28:52,133 --> 00:28:54,613 Speaker 14: So you're in real trouble. 578 00:28:54,253 --> 00:28:57,173 Speaker 19: If you get sick in the Philippines or Kenya or 579 00:28:57,213 --> 00:28:58,373 Speaker 19: some of these countries, you. 580 00:28:58,333 --> 00:29:03,133 Speaker 3: Know, sorry, was you carry out? 581 00:29:04,053 --> 00:29:04,253 Speaker 10: Well? 582 00:29:04,733 --> 00:29:08,573 Speaker 19: They rely heavily on the family, the wider family. If 583 00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:12,773 Speaker 19: someone gets sick, everyone's sort of you know, put money 584 00:29:12,773 --> 00:29:17,093 Speaker 19: in to help them. They rely heavily on that, whereas 585 00:29:17,573 --> 00:29:20,173 Speaker 19: we don't. We have the welfare system. So you know, 586 00:29:20,653 --> 00:29:22,533 Speaker 19: but go on. 587 00:29:22,533 --> 00:29:23,893 Speaker 2: I was just going to say, but Dallas, we do 588 00:29:24,613 --> 00:29:28,893 Speaker 2: still have people living on the streets. I mean in Auckland, 589 00:29:28,893 --> 00:29:32,773 Speaker 2: I see them every every day. So do you think 590 00:29:33,053 --> 00:29:37,053 Speaker 2: that is a failing of the welfare system, because, I mean, 591 00:29:37,133 --> 00:29:38,853 Speaker 2: just to take it back, so I've spent a bit 592 00:29:38,853 --> 00:29:41,933 Speaker 2: of time in India and I've seen people children that 593 00:29:41,973 --> 00:29:43,813 Speaker 2: are living in dumps and such, you know, on the 594 00:29:43,853 --> 00:29:46,973 Speaker 2: side of the roads. I don't think anyone I'm not 595 00:29:47,013 --> 00:29:49,053 Speaker 2: sure because in New Zealand, if there were kids living 596 00:29:49,093 --> 00:29:51,173 Speaker 2: on the side of the road, do you think that 597 00:29:51,253 --> 00:29:53,733 Speaker 2: we have systems in place such that those kids would 598 00:29:53,733 --> 00:29:58,333 Speaker 2: be approached by someone within days? Or do you think 599 00:29:58,373 --> 00:30:01,453 Speaker 2: we still live in a country where you know, I'm 600 00:30:01,453 --> 00:30:03,293 Speaker 2: thinking of an eight and ten year old that I saw, 601 00:30:03,373 --> 00:30:06,173 Speaker 2: I'm just judging their name, living living in this dump 602 00:30:06,213 --> 00:30:07,853 Speaker 2: and picking up food out of the side of the road. 603 00:30:08,413 --> 00:30:10,693 Speaker 2: Do you think we live in a country that we have, 604 00:30:11,253 --> 00:30:14,693 Speaker 2: you know, the social infrastructure such that people like that 605 00:30:14,733 --> 00:30:19,173 Speaker 2: would be spotted, like you know, races that have run 606 00:30:19,213 --> 00:30:22,053 Speaker 2: away from their family or whatever situation on poverty that 607 00:30:22,133 --> 00:30:22,933 Speaker 2: leaves them on the street. 608 00:30:24,453 --> 00:30:27,053 Speaker 19: Well, live in Auckland. I live in a small rural 609 00:30:27,093 --> 00:30:29,413 Speaker 19: town where that would not happen. You know, if someone 610 00:30:29,653 --> 00:30:32,573 Speaker 19: was lying on the side of the road, that would 611 00:30:32,573 --> 00:30:38,773 Speaker 19: be dealt with, you know, quickly. And there's no homeless 612 00:30:38,773 --> 00:30:41,293 Speaker 19: people where I live, you know, in a small town. 613 00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,733 Speaker 14: So the big I think that's a that's. 614 00:30:43,613 --> 00:30:47,613 Speaker 19: A city problem worldwide. Big cities in Auckland's you know, 615 00:30:47,653 --> 00:30:50,533 Speaker 19: not big, but I think you're starting to get those 616 00:30:51,093 --> 00:30:52,253 Speaker 19: big city problems. 617 00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:56,013 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think we're in empathetic society Dallas. Do 618 00:30:56,053 --> 00:30:58,653 Speaker 3: you think most people in New Zealand see people in 619 00:30:58,693 --> 00:31:03,213 Speaker 3: those situations and for most part help out if they can, 620 00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:05,933 Speaker 3: or give some money or at the very least care 621 00:31:06,213 --> 00:31:07,493 Speaker 3: you know of trying to lift them up. 622 00:31:08,693 --> 00:31:08,853 Speaker 13: Yeah. 623 00:31:08,893 --> 00:31:10,933 Speaker 19: I think people are the same all around the world, Tyler. 624 00:31:11,173 --> 00:31:14,973 Speaker 19: I think we're all the same basis that we generally 625 00:31:15,213 --> 00:31:21,613 Speaker 19: are compassionate people human beings, unless we're so sick ourselves 626 00:31:21,653 --> 00:31:25,173 Speaker 19: mentally or in some other way that we haven't got 627 00:31:25,213 --> 00:31:28,013 Speaker 19: any energy to give it to others. And then that 628 00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:31,813 Speaker 19: case we do have to sort of look in with 629 00:31:32,013 --> 00:31:37,453 Speaker 19: and heal ourselves. But most healthy people, most healthy people 630 00:31:37,533 --> 00:31:43,373 Speaker 19: are compassionate. But sometimes I think it becomes overwhelming and 631 00:31:43,413 --> 00:31:47,373 Speaker 19: the problems and it's another thing you said too, Matt, 632 00:31:47,413 --> 00:31:50,893 Speaker 19: about you know, the algorithms keep feeding us negativity. And 633 00:31:51,813 --> 00:31:55,373 Speaker 19: our political system too, is based on the opposition have 634 00:31:55,453 --> 00:31:59,013 Speaker 19: always got to be negative, negative, and negative, and so 635 00:31:59,053 --> 00:32:01,253 Speaker 19: you're never going to get good news from the opposition, 636 00:32:01,613 --> 00:32:01,813 Speaker 19: you know. 637 00:32:02,653 --> 00:32:05,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I think if you called us well, I 638 00:32:05,533 --> 00:32:08,253 Speaker 2: think the thing is if a party seed we're going 639 00:32:08,253 --> 00:32:11,533 Speaker 2: to remove the social welfare net, I don't think they'll 640 00:32:11,573 --> 00:32:14,253 Speaker 2: get elected a New Zealand. No, if we said there 641 00:32:14,293 --> 00:32:18,693 Speaker 2: was going to be even getting rid of the unemployment benefit. 642 00:32:19,133 --> 00:32:21,053 Speaker 2: I don't think a party could because because look how 643 00:32:21,253 --> 00:32:25,533 Speaker 2: you know, National kept working for families because politically they 644 00:32:25,573 --> 00:32:27,893 Speaker 2: couldn't get rid of it, right, So that that's a 645 00:32:27,933 --> 00:32:30,533 Speaker 2: social net for people that are employed. 646 00:32:30,933 --> 00:32:31,173 Speaker 20: You know. 647 00:32:31,893 --> 00:32:33,733 Speaker 2: The six said, I'm a teacher in Auckland.

I struggle to hear 652 00:32:48,853 --> 00:32:52,853 Speaker 2: Seymour's comments. I think they are they are awful, but 653 00:32:52,973 --> 00:32:56,693 Speaker 2: I mean, but the question isn't whether you know, maybe 654 00:32:56,773 --> 00:32:59,373 Speaker 2: I totally feel for you if you feel those comments 655 00:32:59,573 --> 00:33:01,893 Speaker 2: were awful to hear them, because you know, as someone 656 00:33:01,933 --> 00:33:03,853 Speaker 2: says you, we're nickel and diming on. I'm saying kings 657 00:33:03,893 --> 00:33:08,373 Speaker 2: and queens, come on, stick to the point of his message, 658 00:33:08,453 --> 00:33:11,133 Speaker 2: But it's just really saying, if you're a teacher in 659 00:33:11,173 --> 00:33:13,333 Speaker 2: Auckland and you earn that kind of money, and you 660 00:33:13,413 --> 00:33:16,733 Speaker 2: have a mortgage, you have no mortgage, but your insurance eccetera. 661 00:33:16,813 --> 00:33:19,373 Speaker 2: Comes to that you're still living a life that's better 662 00:33:19,493 --> 00:33:22,613 Speaker 2: than most people around the world. I mean, you have 663 00:33:22,693 --> 00:33:26,893 Speaker 2: employment and you can feed your children historically. Yeah, So 664 00:33:27,613 --> 00:33:31,333 Speaker 2: even though it's hard to hear it, it's it's it's 665 00:33:31,613 --> 00:33:34,693 Speaker 2: the truth that you may not have everything you want 666 00:33:34,973 --> 00:33:36,573 Speaker 2: and you may be struggling. There might be a lot 667 00:33:36,613 --> 00:33:39,973 Speaker 2: of stress, but you are historically still in a good position. 668 00:33:40,013 --> 00:33:42,413 Speaker 3: That's right. It's a gratitude question, isn't it gratitude that 669 00:33:42,453 --> 00:33:44,493 Speaker 3: you don't have a mortgage, Gratitude that you've got those 670 00:33:44,533 --> 00:33:48,653 Speaker 3: three children. Yes, you struggle, absolutely, but that gratitude element. 671 00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:50,533 Speaker 3: That's what I took out of David Seymore's comments. But 672 00:33:50,573 --> 00:33:52,613 Speaker 3: what do you say, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty 673 00:33:52,693 --> 00:33:55,133 Speaker 3: is the number to call? It is fourteen to two. 674 00:33:55,653 --> 00:33:57,853 Speaker 1: Just to have a Chad with Matt and Tayler on 675 00:33:57,973 --> 00:34:00,413 Speaker 1: Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Matt Heathan Tyler 676 00:34:00,453 --> 00:34:03,973 Speaker 1: Adams afternoons with Skoda, can you crack the scoter code 677 00:34:04,173 --> 00:34:04,653 Speaker 1: used dogs? 678 00:34:04,653 --> 00:34:06,853 Speaker 3: That'd be it is eleven to two. So we're talking 679 00:34:06,853 --> 00:34:10,292 Speaker 3: about comments by David Seamour. It's some pushback from opposition parties. 680 00:34:10,373 --> 00:34:13,733 Speaker 3: To paraphrase, he said, by historical standards, even New Zealand's 681 00:34:13,733 --> 00:34:16,013 Speaker 3: poorest people today enjoy a standard of living that far 682 00:34:16,093 --> 00:34:18,493 Speaker 3: exceeds what most people experienced in the past. 683 00:34:18,533 --> 00:34:20,293 Speaker 2: The sex that says, so people should be happy they're 684 00:34:20,293 --> 00:34:22,773 Speaker 2: in poverty and not abject poverty. What's the stats for 685 00:34:22,853 --> 00:34:25,813 Speaker 2: kids living poverty in New Zealand. Well, I guess no, 686 00:34:26,013 --> 00:34:27,933 Speaker 2: it's not that the people in poverty should be happy. 687 00:34:27,973 --> 00:34:30,093 Speaker 2: That's not what we're saying. The question was overall in 688 00:34:30,173 --> 00:34:34,413 Speaker 2: New Zealand, should we celebrate that New Zealand is a stable, 689 00:34:34,613 --> 00:34:38,773 Speaker 2: comparatively wealthy country. It's a lot to ask the people 690 00:34:38,813 --> 00:34:40,933 Speaker 2: that aren't doing well and seeing other people doing better 691 00:34:40,973 --> 00:34:43,893 Speaker 2: to be grateful. Yeah, I mean it might be helpful 692 00:34:43,933 --> 00:34:45,373 Speaker 2: for them if they do think about it. I mean 693 00:34:45,373 --> 00:34:49,653 Speaker 2: there's that that, you know, there's that comparison comparing people 694 00:34:49,653 --> 00:34:51,453 Speaker 2: that are worse than you, off than you and better 695 00:34:51,453 --> 00:34:54,093 Speaker 2: than you can make you feel better. But the question 696 00:34:54,213 --> 00:34:57,613 Speaker 2: isn't how someone that's in poverty feels, it's how we 697 00:34:57,653 --> 00:35:02,013 Speaker 2: should feel about the country across the board. And you know, 698 00:35:02,173 --> 00:35:05,453 Speaker 2: we live in one of the wealthiest, most stable, fairest 699 00:35:05,493 --> 00:35:10,013 Speaker 2: countries that has ever societies it's ever existed and so 700 00:35:10,493 --> 00:35:15,293 Speaker 2: as a country we should feel proud of That is 701 00:35:15,333 --> 00:35:17,373 Speaker 2: really what it's been saying. Yeah, but yeah, you can't 702 00:35:17,413 --> 00:35:20,333 Speaker 2: go up to someone that's really struggling and poor and say, 703 00:35:20,533 --> 00:35:23,533 Speaker 2: you know, be happy. I don't think that would be helpful. 704 00:35:23,613 --> 00:35:25,933 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course not. But that is not what David 705 00:35:25,973 --> 00:35:28,053 Speaker 3: Semol was saying. Trevor, what do you reckon about this? 706 00:35:29,053 --> 00:35:31,813 Speaker 13: Okay, I'm probably going to just echo what quite a 707 00:35:31,813 --> 00:35:34,333 Speaker 13: few people have says, but I just think what David 708 00:35:35,053 --> 00:35:38,693 Speaker 13: female said even to like he said historically but even now, 709 00:35:39,093 --> 00:35:41,853 Speaker 13: and I think you've touched on if anybody's traveled, I 710 00:35:41,853 --> 00:35:45,213 Speaker 13: mean a lot of popular tourist destinations and Upper Asia 711 00:35:45,253 --> 00:35:48,172 Speaker 13: that the Zealanders loved going to. You know, you go 712 00:35:48,253 --> 00:35:51,133 Speaker 13: there and you do ask yourself or you speak to 713 00:35:51,173 --> 00:35:53,533 Speaker 13: the people there and you are sort of scratching your 714 00:35:53,533 --> 00:35:55,533 Speaker 13: head and just thinking how lucky we are in New Zealand. 715 00:35:55,573 --> 00:35:58,173 Speaker 13: I mean people talked about you know, no job, no, 716 00:35:58,373 --> 00:36:00,733 Speaker 13: you know no. But you know, in a lot of 717 00:36:00,733 --> 00:36:04,533 Speaker 13: these countries, if you have a child like its sure 718 00:36:04,573 --> 00:36:06,652 Speaker 13: as to look after you. And unfortunately, if you had 719 00:36:06,693 --> 00:36:10,413 Speaker 13: a child that has got a or mental disability, will sorry, 720 00:36:10,893 --> 00:36:13,732 Speaker 13: no help at all. And I just think the point 721 00:36:13,733 --> 00:36:16,173 Speaker 13: that's making that what we've got here has never perked, 722 00:36:17,413 --> 00:36:19,533 Speaker 13: it will ever be a perfect place for one hundred 723 00:36:19,533 --> 00:36:22,173 Speaker 13: percent of the population to live. And I think the 724 00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:25,453 Speaker 13: biggest what Seama was trying to say that in a 725 00:36:25,453 --> 00:36:27,453 Speaker 13: lot of countries. I mean, look, I'll use India as 726 00:36:27,453 --> 00:36:30,173 Speaker 13: an example. You know, India has some of the richest 727 00:36:30,573 --> 00:36:33,133 Speaker 13: richest people in the world. You probably find three of 728 00:36:33,133 --> 00:36:35,213 Speaker 13: the richest people in the world are from India, or 729 00:36:35,253 --> 00:36:39,813 Speaker 13: you watch the BBL and those people buying these cricket teams. 730 00:36:40,213 --> 00:36:44,533 Speaker 13: Yet for a lot of India the absolute and extreme 731 00:36:44,933 --> 00:36:49,133 Speaker 13: extreme poverty. So you know, I just think with our countries, 732 00:36:49,653 --> 00:36:51,773 Speaker 13: I probably won't have the figures right. But in a 733 00:36:51,813 --> 00:36:54,373 Speaker 13: country like ours, and maybe is Australia, for eighty percent 734 00:36:54,413 --> 00:36:56,973 Speaker 13: of the population, maybe a little bit more, that's okay, 735 00:36:57,133 --> 00:37:00,653 Speaker 13: you can survive a reasonable standard a lot of living 736 00:37:01,093 --> 00:37:03,853 Speaker 13: about eighty percent. But in those other countries that I 737 00:37:03,893 --> 00:37:07,933 Speaker 13: think Seymour was talking about route for eighty percent of 738 00:37:07,933 --> 00:37:11,053 Speaker 13: the popular it's not your can't live. It's very difficult 739 00:37:11,093 --> 00:37:15,853 Speaker 13: to live. And we're almost reversed. So I mean, I mean, 740 00:37:15,933 --> 00:37:18,733 Speaker 13: turn the TV on, which what's happening in Sudan at 741 00:37:18,773 --> 00:37:21,493 Speaker 13: the moment, and some of those Congo and some of 742 00:37:21,533 --> 00:37:24,413 Speaker 13: those African countries. I mean, you know, and you scratch 743 00:37:24,413 --> 00:37:27,773 Speaker 13: your head and you're worry about you know, a blocker 744 00:37:27,813 --> 00:37:29,573 Speaker 13: butt a costs ten dollars thirty seven. 745 00:37:29,773 --> 00:37:32,573 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, and it's not Also it's not 746 00:37:32,693 --> 00:37:35,253 Speaker 2: just economic, right, So you look what's happening in Iran 747 00:37:35,293 --> 00:37:37,533 Speaker 2: at the moment. Just the amount of freedom that we 748 00:37:37,653 --> 00:37:40,732 Speaker 2: have in this country just to say and do what 749 00:37:40,773 --> 00:37:44,293 Speaker 2: we want, and the amount of freedom that people, all 750 00:37:44,493 --> 00:37:48,213 Speaker 2: kinds of people have in this country. So you know, 751 00:37:48,293 --> 00:37:50,853 Speaker 2: that's the one of the fairest countries in the world 752 00:37:50,933 --> 00:37:54,133 Speaker 2: as well, stable and fear and that that's huge as well, 753 00:37:54,613 --> 00:37:57,653 Speaker 2: you know, along with the economic side of it. Because 754 00:37:57,973 --> 00:38:00,573 Speaker 2: I mean people should I mean, I know, because the 755 00:38:00,573 --> 00:38:02,333 Speaker 2: internet's been shut down in Iran, so a lot of 756 00:38:02,333 --> 00:38:05,533 Speaker 2: stuff doesn't come out. But I think people should spend 757 00:38:05,533 --> 00:38:08,053 Speaker 2: some time thinking about what people are protesting for in 758 00:38:08,413 --> 00:38:11,653 Speaker 2: run that that would that would that would make people 759 00:38:11,853 --> 00:38:14,813 Speaker 2: I don't know, if that was suddenly imposed what was 760 00:38:14,853 --> 00:38:17,933 Speaker 2: been imposed on there since the early eighties in New Zealand, 761 00:38:18,093 --> 00:38:21,013 Speaker 2: I think people would be I don't know I don't 762 00:38:21,013 --> 00:38:22,173 Speaker 2: know if people could even handle it. 763 00:38:22,253 --> 00:38:25,093 Speaker 3: No, exactly, Trevor, thank you very much for your thoughts. 764 00:38:25,093 --> 00:38:26,613 Speaker 3: It is seven minutes to two. 765 00:38:26,773 --> 00:38:31,333 Speaker 1: Back very soon, Matt Heath, Taylor Adams taking your calls 766 00:38:31,373 --> 00:38:33,893 Speaker 1: on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Welcome back into the show. It is 789 00:39:38,573 --> 00:39:39,453 Speaker 3: seven past two. 790 00:39:39,613 --> 00:39:41,533 Speaker 2: So in the last hour we were talking about comments 791 00:39:41,613 --> 00:39:44,613 Speaker 2: David Seymour made saying that you know, New Zealand just 792 00:39:44,653 --> 00:39:49,533 Speaker 2: a parapher rays is you know, a reasonably stable and 793 00:39:49,613 --> 00:39:53,933 Speaker 2: wealthy country comparatively, and he said even the poor in 794 00:39:53,973 --> 00:39:56,413 Speaker 2: this country he said live like kings and queens, which 795 00:39:56,413 --> 00:39:59,013 Speaker 2: has triggered some people and a lot of texts have 796 00:39:59,013 --> 00:39:59,893 Speaker 2: been triggered. 797 00:39:59,533 --> 00:40:00,373 Speaker 3: By this very much. 798 00:40:00,653 --> 00:40:03,573 Speaker 2: Take this text here. What an evil, horrible thing to say, 799 00:40:03,653 --> 00:40:05,893 Speaker 2: Kings and queens. Half this country is starving to death, 800 00:40:05,933 --> 00:40:08,133 Speaker 2: and you guys say we have it good. We do not. 801 00:40:08,653 --> 00:40:10,533 Speaker 2: Half the country isn't starving to death in fact, and 802 00:40:10,573 --> 00:40:14,253 Speaker 2: New Zealand obesity is a much bigger killer than starvation. 803 00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:16,732 Speaker 2: In fact, pretty sure starvation isn't a killer at all. 804 00:40:16,973 --> 00:40:19,373 Speaker 2: But yeah, get your point. I hope you and your 805 00:40:19,373 --> 00:40:21,573 Speaker 2: family end up on the streets. You deserve to starve 806 00:40:21,653 --> 00:40:24,013 Speaker 2: to death. New Zealand does not have it good. Anyone 807 00:40:24,053 --> 00:40:27,133 Speaker 2: who says it does is evil, says this texter, and 808 00:40:27,173 --> 00:40:29,213 Speaker 2: this one says anyone who says New Zealand is a 809 00:40:29,213 --> 00:40:32,973 Speaker 2: good place to live as an entitled ass hole, Well, 810 00:40:33,013 --> 00:40:35,613 Speaker 2: who deserves what is coming to them? Okay, But I 811 00:40:35,653 --> 00:40:38,053 Speaker 2: think and that's just the sort of a sample of 812 00:40:38,133 --> 00:40:39,533 Speaker 2: kind of text you get on this when you say 813 00:40:39,533 --> 00:40:42,172 Speaker 2: something positive about New Zealand. But to be fair, most 814 00:40:42,213 --> 00:40:44,013 Speaker 2: of the texts have been going, yes, we're in a 815 00:40:44,333 --> 00:40:47,453 Speaker 2: good place. But I think people who are texting this 816 00:40:47,533 --> 00:40:51,293 Speaker 2: kind of stuff missed the point. New Zealand isn't perfect 817 00:40:51,373 --> 00:40:54,373 Speaker 2: and we should never stop working hard to make it better. 818 00:40:54,413 --> 00:40:57,732 Speaker 2: But also every now and then, I don't think there 819 00:40:57,813 --> 00:41:01,093 Speaker 2: is anything wrong with patting ourselves on the back for 820 00:41:01,213 --> 00:41:04,813 Speaker 2: where we are. That we, you know what, we have 821 00:41:04,893 --> 00:41:09,853 Speaker 2: created a comparatively wealthy, stable, and fear country, both currently 822 00:41:10,173 --> 00:41:14,333 Speaker 2: globally speaking, but also definitely historically. This is an absolute 823 00:41:14,413 --> 00:41:20,133 Speaker 2: unicorn event in the history of humanity. It is you know, 824 00:41:20,733 --> 00:41:24,652 Speaker 2: it is better here now than nearly anywhere else ever. 825 00:41:25,293 --> 00:41:28,613 Speaker 2: And I think that's an objective truth that you can prove, 826 00:41:29,133 --> 00:41:31,693 Speaker 2: and we should be proud. We have a social safety 827 00:41:31,733 --> 00:41:34,493 Speaker 2: net the likes of which is so rare in history 828 00:41:34,693 --> 00:41:38,172 Speaker 2: and has nearly no equal that they. I mean, that's 829 00:41:38,293 --> 00:41:40,333 Speaker 2: probably cold comfort for people that are doing it tough. 830 00:41:41,853 --> 00:41:44,373 Speaker 2: But our country is like that because because we were 831 00:41:44,413 --> 00:41:48,413 Speaker 2: caring people, so we can do better. But at least 832 00:41:48,493 --> 00:41:51,613 Speaker 2: we're doing better than nearly anyone else ever has. So 833 00:41:52,013 --> 00:41:53,213 Speaker 2: is it the end of the world for us to 834 00:41:53,253 --> 00:41:55,053 Speaker 2: bring that up every now and then? Or do we 835 00:41:55,093 --> 00:41:59,293 Speaker 2: just always have to repeatedly flagellate ourselves like the Albino 836 00:41:59,333 --> 00:42:00,213 Speaker 2: and the Da Vinci code. 837 00:42:00,253 --> 00:42:02,613 Speaker 3: According to the Texas apparently we need to do the latter. 838 00:42:02,693 --> 00:42:06,933 Speaker 3: But great discussion, thank you very much. Very interesting. When 839 00:42:06,933 --> 00:42:10,173 Speaker 3: it comes to subscription how often have you run into 840 00:42:10,213 --> 00:42:12,493 Speaker 3: a nightmare of trying to get out of them? So 841 00:42:12,573 --> 00:42:15,173 Speaker 3: New Zealanders they spend millions of bucks a year on 842 00:42:15,253 --> 00:42:18,453 Speaker 3: these subscription services, including ones they no longer use, and 843 00:42:18,533 --> 00:42:21,373 Speaker 3: they can be, as many people listening would know, can 844 00:42:21,413 --> 00:42:23,453 Speaker 3: be tricky to get out of consumer endz sid The 845 00:42:23,493 --> 00:42:26,693 Speaker 3: design of these services meant they often took multiple steps 846 00:42:26,693 --> 00:42:30,293 Speaker 3: to cancel. It said. Almost thirty percent of people report 847 00:42:30,373 --> 00:42:34,493 Speaker 3: continuing to pay for a service because unsubscribing was too difficult. 848 00:42:34,733 --> 00:42:38,293 Speaker 3: It's research estimated New Zealanders lost more than sixty million 849 00:42:38,453 --> 00:42:43,693 Speaker 3: dollars a year to dark patterns, including unfair subscription models. 850 00:42:44,453 --> 00:42:47,172 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll be interested to one hundred and eighty 851 00:42:47,213 --> 00:42:48,933 Speaker 2: ten and eighty. I think a lot of us now 852 00:42:48,973 --> 00:42:51,653 Speaker 2: have this creeping feeling in the back of our heads 853 00:42:51,693 --> 00:42:54,453 Speaker 2: that were being bled dry by various subscriptions. 854 00:42:54,533 --> 00:42:54,732 Speaker 21: Yep. 855 00:42:55,493 --> 00:42:57,973 Speaker 2: And you know we're all looking at getting around to 856 00:42:57,973 --> 00:43:01,933 Speaker 2: an audit on our subscriptions. And there's the ones where 857 00:43:01,973 --> 00:43:05,493 Speaker 2: you go in there and they say first month free, 858 00:43:05,533 --> 00:43:10,973 Speaker 2: and then we'll start charging you, and you mean to 859 00:43:11,013 --> 00:43:13,253 Speaker 2: stop that from happening, but then bang one hundred and 860 00:43:13,293 --> 00:43:15,453 Speaker 2: forty dollars and then that goes for another year and 861 00:43:15,453 --> 00:43:18,293 Speaker 2: you get banged again, or subscriptions to things that just 862 00:43:18,373 --> 00:43:22,213 Speaker 2: keep rising and rising. I think there is feeling. I 863 00:43:22,293 --> 00:43:24,693 Speaker 2: know it's that I have it that I've got a 864 00:43:24,693 --> 00:43:26,933 Speaker 2: bunch of subscriptions I don't need, and if I just 865 00:43:26,973 --> 00:43:29,133 Speaker 2: had some more self control, there was ones that I 866 00:43:29,413 --> 00:43:32,133 Speaker 2: have and use that I could probably live without. Yes, 867 00:43:32,573 --> 00:43:34,693 Speaker 2: I mean we probably some of us are running multiple 868 00:43:34,813 --> 00:43:38,692 Speaker 2: streaming services, right, yeah, so you know, maybe we need 869 00:43:38,733 --> 00:43:41,293 Speaker 2: to just pick one and just deal with what the 870 00:43:41,333 --> 00:43:43,893 Speaker 2: content is there. I mean, when I was growing up 871 00:43:43,893 --> 00:43:46,973 Speaker 2: there was only three television channels, so we didn't. 872 00:43:46,773 --> 00:43:50,413 Speaker 3: Have a lot of Yeah, exactly, But I think, I mean, 873 00:43:50,453 --> 00:43:53,653 Speaker 3: whether this is just my situation or it's pretty common. 874 00:43:53,773 --> 00:43:56,773 Speaker 3: I have multiple bank accounts, and when I try and 875 00:43:56,813 --> 00:43:59,293 Speaker 3: do any sort of order to my subscriptions, I don't 876 00:43:59,293 --> 00:44:01,413 Speaker 3: know where to start. I don't actually know where one 877 00:44:01,533 --> 00:44:03,853 Speaker 3: subscription's coming out of with the other ones coming out of. 878 00:44:03,893 --> 00:44:06,253 Speaker 3: I've tried to go through the various accounts because I 879 00:44:06,253 --> 00:44:09,053 Speaker 3: see it pinging up that sixteen bucks for whatever, So 880 00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:10,652 Speaker 3: where the hell is there? How the hell do I 881 00:44:10,693 --> 00:44:13,173 Speaker 3: cancel it? And I can't find any of my accounts. 882 00:44:13,173 --> 00:44:15,213 Speaker 3: It might be in Mave's accounts, is on the credit cards. 883 00:44:15,293 --> 00:44:17,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, And some of these examples were when you very 884 00:44:17,973 --> 00:44:20,652 Speaker 2: easy to sign up, but when you want to get 885 00:44:20,693 --> 00:44:23,333 Speaker 2: out of the subscription subscription, you've got to ring up. Yeah, 886 00:44:23,693 --> 00:44:25,573 Speaker 2: and we've got rules for people that set up these 887 00:44:25,613 --> 00:44:27,893 Speaker 2: in New Zealand. But if you're signing up to some 888 00:44:27,973 --> 00:44:31,172 Speaker 2: overseas thing where there's there's no rules like that, then 889 00:44:31,573 --> 00:44:33,253 Speaker 2: you know you can get locked into something for a 890 00:44:33,333 --> 00:44:35,733 Speaker 2: very long time.

So what I did is I 948 00:47:08,453 --> 00:47:10,533 Speaker 22: just canceled my credit card and got a new one. 949 00:47:10,853 --> 00:47:13,293 Speaker 2: Ah, and then the emails start coming and you find 950 00:47:13,293 --> 00:47:14,853 Speaker 2: out what you've got, and if you don't want it, 951 00:47:14,893 --> 00:47:15,613 Speaker 2: you ignore those. 952 00:47:15,453 --> 00:47:19,413 Speaker 22: Emails because now I've got a new credit card and 953 00:47:19,453 --> 00:47:20,053 Speaker 22: they card try. 954 00:47:21,413 --> 00:47:23,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing in the system, especially if it's an 955 00:47:23,253 --> 00:47:25,853 Speaker 2: overseas company. There's nothing they can do about that. And 956 00:47:27,693 --> 00:47:29,812 Speaker 2: see and then and then and they will, they will 957 00:47:29,813 --> 00:47:32,373 Speaker 2: do the work of reminding you that that you're you know, 958 00:47:32,373 --> 00:47:36,373 Speaker 2: if you've forgotten you've subscribed to something, or if you haven't, 959 00:47:37,093 --> 00:47:39,853 Speaker 2: and if you are not sure you need it, they'll 960 00:47:39,853 --> 00:47:43,053 Speaker 2: do the work because having to resubscribe and re into 961 00:47:43,133 --> 00:47:44,893 Speaker 2: your credit card, you will have to make that decision 962 00:47:44,893 --> 00:47:47,613 Speaker 2: again or and they will not stop to tell you 963 00:47:47,653 --> 00:47:51,453 Speaker 2: that you've unsubscribed. So like even when even when I, 964 00:47:51,573 --> 00:47:53,533 Speaker 2: you know, like a change your credit card, they go crazy, 965 00:47:53,533 --> 00:47:56,213 Speaker 2: all the subscription people.

There's a whole 969 00:48:02,933 --> 00:48:04,773 Speaker 3: bunch of stuff I actually need to pay for, like 970 00:48:04,853 --> 00:48:08,013 Speaker 3: insurance or you know, I can't even think because there's 971 00:48:08,013 --> 00:48:10,053 Speaker 3: so many things there. I don't know if I can 972 00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:12,172 Speaker 3: be bothered with the hassle of actually going back through 973 00:48:12,213 --> 00:48:15,213 Speaker 3: and resigning those things that I generally need, just so 974 00:48:15,253 --> 00:48:20,733 Speaker 3: I can get rid of these punishing subscriptions. 975 00:48:20,973 --> 00:48:23,853 Speaker 22: The you know, it's a plus and the moan of 976 00:48:24,693 --> 00:48:28,093 Speaker 22: or the negative of it all. It depends on your 977 00:48:28,133 --> 00:48:30,853 Speaker 22: own personal circumstances.

It was paid through through Spark. 1323 01:04:31,213 --> 01:04:33,133 Speaker 4: I run Spark and they said I need to act 1324 01:04:33,133 --> 01:04:36,893 Speaker 4: through through Spotify. I go on the app to Spotify 1325 01:04:36,933 --> 01:04:38,373 Speaker 4: and it says, oh, you can't do that in the app, 1326 01:04:38,453 --> 01:04:40,453 Speaker 4: you need to do it on their website. So using 1327 01:04:40,493 --> 01:04:41,973 Speaker 4: my phone, I go try to go on to your 1328 01:04:41,973 --> 01:04:44,253 Speaker 4: website and it redirects me back to the app. And 1329 01:04:44,373 --> 01:04:48,373 Speaker 4: I'm still paying for Spotify months months because it's just 1330 01:04:48,453 --> 01:04:48,973 Speaker 4: weight too hard. 1331 01:04:48,973 --> 01:04:51,933 Speaker 9: I don't have a laptop. I can't unsubscribe from it 1332 01:04:52,013 --> 01:04:54,573 Speaker 9: because they make it way too difficult. But like I say, 1333 01:04:54,613 --> 01:04:58,373 Speaker 9: those third parts right, So you're paying through Spark, and 1334 01:04:58,453 --> 01:05:00,533 Speaker 9: then Spark says, I know that for Spotify things. 1335 01:05:01,133 --> 01:05:04,453 Speaker 2: So when you sign up to to because I see 1336 01:05:04,493 --> 01:05:06,173 Speaker 2: these around I'm not sure which company is, but it 1337 01:05:06,213 --> 01:05:10,693 Speaker 2: says sign up and get three months Spotify free. But 1338 01:05:10,853 --> 01:05:12,693 Speaker 2: that is you get three months spot by three and 1339 01:05:12,773 --> 01:05:14,293 Speaker 2: then it just keeps rolling on in your account. 1340 01:05:15,573 --> 01:05:17,853 Speaker 9: Yeah, and well, and it's done through the Spark accounts. 1341 01:05:17,893 --> 01:05:20,853 Speaker 9: So for example, out of my Spark account comes Spotify. 1342 01:05:20,933 --> 01:05:23,733 Speaker 9: So I ring up Spark to cancel the Spotify and 1343 01:05:23,813 --> 01:05:25,013 Speaker 9: they say, oh, I know you need to do that 1344 01:05:25,133 --> 01:05:28,413 Speaker 9: through the Spotify, So go onto Spotify hat you can 1345 01:05:28,493 --> 01:05:31,173 Speaker 9: do that, but you have to do that through their website. 1346 01:05:31,373 --> 01:05:33,333 Speaker 9: And then because I don't have a laptop, I go 1347 01:05:33,453 --> 01:05:36,573 Speaker 9: onto the website on my phone, but that directs me. 1348 01:05:36,613 --> 01:05:41,573 Speaker 6: Back through the app. It's just an ending, never ending cycle. 1349 01:05:41,213 --> 01:05:43,333 Speaker 9: Of crap that you have to go through, and I'm 1350 01:05:43,333 --> 01:05:43,973 Speaker 9: still paying for it. 1351 01:05:44,733 --> 01:05:45,693 Speaker 6: I'd like to understand me. 1352 01:05:45,773 --> 01:05:47,213 Speaker 9: Bob might just need to find a laptop. 1353 01:05:48,373 --> 01:05:49,853 Speaker 3: That's how they get you though, just to make your 1354 01:05:49,893 --> 01:05:52,733 Speaker 3: jump through. Borrow mine Jeremy, Yeah, yeah, exactly. We'll loan 1355 01:05:52,813 --> 01:05:54,613 Speaker 3: your one oh e one hundred and eighty ten eighty 1356 01:05:54,733 --> 01:05:56,333 Speaker 3: is and number to call. I haven't said this yet, 1357 01:05:56,373 --> 01:05:58,093 Speaker 3: but there, I'm sure there's a lot of people that 1358 01:05:58,213 --> 01:06:00,173 Speaker 3: had this issue. I don't know if I'll name them, No, 1359 01:06:00,173 --> 01:06:02,973 Speaker 3: I won't. It was a food service delivery operation here 1360 01:06:03,053 --> 01:06:05,813 Speaker 3: in New Zealand. They're still operating, but they've been slammed 1361 01:06:05,893 --> 01:06:09,173 Speaker 3: with some fines recently, but that was one of them. 1362 01:06:09,253 --> 01:06:11,173 Speaker 3: Can I say who it is? I'm sure it's been 1363 01:06:11,253 --> 01:06:14,373 Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, buger, I'm gonna say Hello Fresh. So 1364 01:06:14,493 --> 01:06:16,453 Speaker 3: we signed up with Hello Fresh and it was pretty decent, 1365 01:06:16,533 --> 01:06:18,933 Speaker 3: good food. But when we did about six months and 1366 01:06:19,013 --> 01:06:23,173 Speaker 3: realized I'm swimming in these recipes. I've got all this 1367 01:06:23,333 --> 01:06:25,493 Speaker 3: grain that I haven't used, so it's time to end, 1368 01:06:25,573 --> 01:06:28,293 Speaker 3: it ended it and the money kept coming out of 1369 01:06:28,333 --> 01:06:30,413 Speaker 3: the accounts. So I had to wring them and say, hey, 1370 01:06:30,453 --> 01:06:34,053 Speaker 3: you're still charging us. We are not getting any food parcels. 1371 01:06:34,093 --> 01:06:36,333 Speaker 3: What's going on here? Oh yeah, sorry, sorry, that's an 1372 01:06:36,333 --> 01:06:39,093 Speaker 3: issue on our parts. Then they canceled it two months later, 1373 01:06:39,493 --> 01:06:43,253 Speaker 3: re signed without any communication, and we ended up continuing 1374 01:06:43,293 --> 01:06:45,093 Speaker 3: to pay. It was a massive plava to try and 1375 01:06:45,133 --> 01:06:45,733 Speaker 3: get the money back. 1376 01:06:45,853 --> 01:06:47,333 Speaker 2: So did they give you the money back for the 1377 01:06:47,773 --> 01:06:49,973 Speaker 2: food that didn't arrive but then in the end, but 1378 01:06:50,053 --> 01:06:52,893 Speaker 2: then did the hellow Fresh just start arriving and you 1379 01:06:52,973 --> 01:06:55,853 Speaker 2: were paying for it again? Just miraculously start up again. 1380 01:06:55,973 --> 01:06:56,173 Speaker 14: Yeah? 1381 01:06:56,333 --> 01:06:59,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, they got me back into the subscription. So I'd 1382 01:06:59,573 --> 01:07:01,053 Speaker 3: love to hear.

Hey, guys, similar to the guys speaking now. 1389 01:07:18,533 --> 01:07:21,413 Speaker 2: I have a specific debit card attached with specific accounts 1390 01:07:21,413 --> 01:07:23,013 Speaker 2: which has no more than one hundred in it at 1391 01:07:23,053 --> 01:07:25,693 Speaker 2: a time, so I can't be burnt by scams. And 1392 01:07:25,813 --> 01:07:28,333 Speaker 2: as for subscriptions only, this is different to the credit 1393 01:07:28,413 --> 01:07:30,613 Speaker 2: card that pays mortgagees bills. Once a year, I cancel 1394 01:07:30,653 --> 01:07:33,373 Speaker 2: the card and get a new one to refresh the subscriptions. 1395 01:07:33,413 --> 01:07:36,853 Speaker 2: I don't need cheers, Greg, Yeah.

You make one decision, it's automized, and so 1399 01:07:48,213 --> 01:07:50,293 Speaker 2: you don't feel it coming out of you account every day. 1400 01:07:50,333 --> 01:07:52,453 Speaker 2: I mean, you have a general vibe that you're broke, 1401 01:07:53,053 --> 01:07:55,573 Speaker 2: but you're not she really sure why it's happening.

So we're 1460 01:10:13,173 --> 01:10:16,173 Speaker 3: talking about subscription services that you get trapped into. Turns 1461 01:10:16,173 --> 01:10:19,933 Speaker 3: out one in three New Zealanders have just rolled on 1462 01:10:20,053 --> 01:10:21,972 Speaker 3: a service even if they don't use it, because it's 1463 01:10:21,973 --> 01:10:25,412 Speaker 3: too punishing to unsubscribe. Paul, how are you? 1464 01:10:26,853 --> 01:10:27,412 Speaker 6: I'm very well. 1465 01:10:27,492 --> 01:10:30,253 Speaker 3: How are you very good? Can you hear your story? 1466 01:10:31,372 --> 01:10:35,093 Speaker 23: Yeah, my wife accidentally bought a dress online in Australia 1467 01:10:35,213 --> 01:10:39,892 Speaker 23: that the website turned out to be fraudulent but sing 1468 01:10:40,013 --> 01:10:42,892 Speaker 23: legit at the time, and when when it got charged 1469 01:10:42,933 --> 01:10:46,572 Speaker 23: through to the credit card and everything and nothing arrived 1470 01:10:46,612 --> 01:10:53,692 Speaker 23: in the courier, it was builders a subscription. And because 1471 01:10:53,732 --> 01:10:56,053 Speaker 23: it was subscription when she purchased that she didn't need 1472 01:10:56,652 --> 01:10:59,133 Speaker 23: didn't have to put in the security code of the card, 1473 01:10:59,893 --> 01:11:03,333 Speaker 23: and when it never turned up to go and. 1474 01:11:05,173 --> 01:11:06,213 Speaker 14: Get the charged. 1475 01:11:08,492 --> 01:11:12,173 Speaker 23: Reimbursed, they couldn't do it because it was subscription. It 1476 01:11:12,293 --> 01:11:16,173 Speaker 23: wasn't a purchase of a product. And so what they had, 1477 01:11:16,333 --> 01:11:17,972 Speaker 23: what we had to do in the long story short 1478 01:11:18,093 --> 01:11:21,452 Speaker 23: was just cut up the credit card, cancel the account, 1479 01:11:21,652 --> 01:11:25,093 Speaker 23: and started to get a new credit card isss from 1480 01:11:25,133 --> 01:11:30,012 Speaker 23: the bank. So, yeah, subscriptions can be very, very dangerous. 1481 01:11:30,812 --> 01:11:32,812 Speaker 23: But on the other thing is that the amount of 1482 01:11:32,933 --> 01:11:35,812 Speaker 23: the subscription being charged to the card when she bought 1483 01:11:35,853 --> 01:11:38,772 Speaker 23: the dress for one hundred dollars the second week they 1484 01:11:38,853 --> 01:11:42,452 Speaker 23: charged was about two hundred and fifteen. Within three weeks, 1485 01:11:43,053 --> 01:11:45,732 Speaker 23: it quickly escalated to over a thousand dollars charged the 1486 01:11:45,853 --> 01:11:48,253 Speaker 23: card to the card because it was a subscription. 1487 01:11:50,093 --> 01:11:50,293 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1488 01:11:50,372 --> 01:11:57,492 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, pretty pretty and you but you didn't 1489 01:11:57,572 --> 01:11:58,933 Speaker 2: did you manage to get your money back or it 1490 01:11:59,013 --> 01:12:00,372 Speaker 2: was just impossible. 1491 01:12:02,093 --> 01:12:04,293 Speaker 23: It was Yeah, at the end of the day, the 1492 01:12:04,333 --> 01:12:07,013 Speaker 23: bank just said, look, we can't do anything about it, 1493 01:12:07,093 --> 01:12:08,652 Speaker 23: but you know, the only thing to do just to 1494 01:12:08,692 --> 01:12:12,853 Speaker 23: cut out your card and that stopped obviously the subscription 1495 01:12:13,093 --> 01:12:16,133 Speaker 23: charges getting built to it. 1496 01:12:16,853 --> 01:12:17,612 Speaker 14: That was the only way. 1497 01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:20,812 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't seem right from the bank side of things. 1498 01:12:20,853 --> 01:12:22,933 Speaker 3: I get they you know, it's not their fault, but 1499 01:12:23,013 --> 01:12:24,933 Speaker 3: I thought that's the point of a credit card is 1500 01:12:25,093 --> 01:12:28,253 Speaker 3: that you can get the money back if anything goes wrong, 1501 01:12:28,293 --> 01:12:30,492 Speaker 3: and clearly that sounds like some sort of scam operation. 1502 01:12:30,853 --> 01:12:31,572 Speaker 2: But there you go. 1503 01:12:32,333 --> 01:12:35,772 Speaker 3: A couple of texts. Here get our guys resubscriptions. I 1504 01:12:35,893 --> 01:12:38,893 Speaker 3: was having difficulty canceling a subscription to a gym. In 1505 01:12:38,973 --> 01:12:40,772 Speaker 3: the end, I rang my bank and told them to 1506 01:12:40,812 --> 01:12:44,213 Speaker 3: stop the payment. Bank advised that the gym had to cancel. However, 1507 01:12:44,452 --> 01:12:46,532 Speaker 3: I stated to the bank that it is my money 1508 01:12:46,612 --> 01:12:50,372 Speaker 3: and I am their customer, so cancel they did. Therefore, 1509 01:12:50,492 --> 01:12:53,213 Speaker 3: get it sorted. I would presume if using a credit 1510 01:12:53,293 --> 01:12:56,532 Speaker 3: card to pay subs that this could also be stopped. 1511 01:12:56,612 --> 01:12:57,532 Speaker 3: That's from Lynn, what. 1512 01:12:57,612 --> 01:13:00,492 Speaker 2: About that thing? This happens to me, And this happened 1513 01:13:00,492 --> 01:13:04,372 Speaker 2: to me recently. When I was leaving a gym, they 1514 01:13:04,412 --> 01:13:06,772 Speaker 2: said you have to come in and sign some papers. 1515 01:13:07,812 --> 01:13:10,532 Speaker 2: And knowing that, you know you're probably going to get 1516 01:13:10,612 --> 01:13:12,933 Speaker 2: least another three weeks before I have the time to 1517 01:13:12,973 --> 01:13:14,812 Speaker 2: actually go to the gym because I moved to a 1518 01:13:14,853 --> 01:13:17,093 Speaker 2: new area. Yes, so I've been with the gym for 1519 01:13:17,173 --> 01:13:19,412 Speaker 2: a very long time. Wanted to leave. You have to 1520 01:13:19,412 --> 01:13:22,173 Speaker 2: come in and sign the paper. I hate that so true, Like, really, 1521 01:13:22,213 --> 01:13:23,852 Speaker 2: what year do we live in? We live in the 1522 01:13:24,013 --> 01:13:26,732 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty six. There are ways you can do that. 1523 01:13:26,732 --> 01:13:29,213 Speaker 2: You don't need me to come in. No, we'll only 1524 01:13:29,253 --> 01:13:33,092 Speaker 2: cancel it when you come in. You you are banking 1525 01:13:33,173 --> 01:13:35,252 Speaker 2: on me being so useless that I never get around. 1526 01:13:35,053 --> 01:13:37,133 Speaker 3: To come again. We need your physical presence here to 1527 01:13:37,293 --> 01:13:38,212 Speaker 3: complete the process. 1528 01:13:38,933 --> 01:13:42,253 Speaker 2: The technology just doesn't exist where we could stop it 1529 01:13:42,333 --> 01:13:44,532 Speaker 2: without you coming in physically and signing a bit of paper. 1530 01:13:44,692 --> 01:13:47,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, very dirty. Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighties 1531 01:13:47,093 --> 01:13:47,892 Speaker 3: and number to cool. 1532 01:13:48,933 --> 01:13:53,253 Speaker 2: So subscriptions are obviously sneaky. It's somehow companies automate your 1533 01:13:53,293 --> 01:13:56,012 Speaker 2: payments so they can take your money without you directly 1534 01:13:56,093 --> 01:13:59,333 Speaker 2: feeling it, so you make one decision that keeps pleading you. 1535 01:13:59,452 --> 01:14:00,852 Speaker 2: That's that's the whole idea of them. 1536 01:14:00,973 --> 01:14:01,093 Speaker 15: Right. 1537 01:14:01,812 --> 01:14:04,013 Speaker 2: Every company is doing it now because it's such a 1538 01:14:04,173 --> 01:14:07,692 Speaker 2: great way to just keep making money, you know. And 1539 01:14:08,732 --> 01:14:11,732 Speaker 2: if you want to set things up such that you feel, 1540 01:14:12,093 --> 01:14:14,732 Speaker 2: you know what you really want to do, I guess 1541 01:14:14,772 --> 01:14:18,253 Speaker 2: to set things up so you feel every payment you make, right, Yeah, 1542 01:14:18,893 --> 01:14:22,293 Speaker 2: because that's what the glitches. You're not feeling the payment 1543 01:14:22,372 --> 01:14:24,452 Speaker 2: so it just keeps going. So at least read your 1544 01:14:24,492 --> 01:14:26,692 Speaker 2: bank statements. I think that's the least. Look at the 1545 01:14:26,732 --> 01:14:29,892 Speaker 2: subscription and ask did I use that this month. Did 1546 01:14:29,973 --> 01:14:32,133 Speaker 2: I enjoy it or I die without it? Those kind 1547 01:14:32,173 --> 01:14:34,333 Speaker 2: of questions, just looking at the money that's gone out, 1548 01:14:34,333 --> 01:14:37,253 Speaker 2: so you at least experience the money in some in 1549 01:14:37,372 --> 01:14:40,732 Speaker 2: some kind of way. And as everyone's been saying, one 1550 01:14:40,772 --> 01:14:43,093 Speaker 2: way to reset and purge your subs is canceling your 1551 01:14:43,093 --> 01:14:45,333 Speaker 2: credit cards so you find out what you are paying 1552 01:14:45,652 --> 01:14:48,253 Speaker 2: because they'll email you really quickly, and then just don't 1553 01:14:48,333 --> 01:14:51,093 Speaker 2: re sign to what you don't want. The key point 1554 01:14:51,213 --> 01:14:53,612 Speaker 2: is don't let the bustards passively suck you dry. It's 1555 01:14:53,652 --> 01:14:56,852 Speaker 2: your money. If it works for you, then keep it, 1556 01:14:56,973 --> 01:15:01,132 Speaker 2: but constantly ask the question, do I need this rubbish 1557 01:15:01,173 --> 01:15:01,652 Speaker 2: in my life? 1558 01:15:01,772 --> 01:15:03,732 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got some admans to do. After the show, 1559 01:15:03,732 --> 01:15:05,892 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. That's perfect. I'm going to follow 1560 01:15:05,973 --> 01:15:08,492 Speaker 3: that guideline to a t and just cut up all 1561 01:15:08,532 --> 01:15:10,213 Speaker 3: my credit cards and go through line by line. 1562 01:15:10,253 --> 01:15:14,293 Speaker 2: But I was subscribed to undies for a while. Oh well, 1563 01:15:14,333 --> 01:15:17,093 Speaker 2: you got new UNDI sent and you quickly realize that 1564 01:15:17,213 --> 01:15:19,213 Speaker 2: you don't need that many pizsiments. 1565 01:15:19,933 --> 01:15:21,852 Speaker 3: So what a month it was? 1566 01:15:22,133 --> 01:15:25,293 Speaker 2: Packs of three? Yeah, every couple of months. I believe 1567 01:15:25,732 --> 01:15:28,372 Speaker 2: I've seen them great, great undies. 1568 01:15:28,492 --> 01:15:30,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got beautiful patterns on them. 1569 01:15:30,293 --> 01:15:33,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, but soon you realize you only need about seven 1570 01:15:33,173 --> 01:15:34,053 Speaker 2: in a rotation. 1571 01:15:34,293 --> 01:15:38,012 Speaker 3: Swimming at unders right. Great discussion. Thank you to everyone 1572 01:15:38,093 --> 01:15:41,133 Speaker 3: who called and text on that one. Coming up after three. 1573 01:15:41,253 --> 01:15:43,372 Speaker 2: Oh this businesses. Please tell people that cutting your credit 1574 01:15:43,452 --> 01:15:45,053 Speaker 2: card won't stop the money coming out. No, you have 1575 01:15:45,093 --> 01:15:45,852 Speaker 2: to actually cancel it. 1576 01:15:46,612 --> 01:15:46,852 Speaker 9: True. 1577 01:15:47,053 --> 01:15:50,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, nicely said.

Great to have your company. 1596 01:17:15,173 --> 01:17:17,572 Speaker 2: And the weekend I went down to Wellington. What a 1597 01:17:17,652 --> 01:17:22,052 Speaker 2: fantastic city. It is such an interesting city, so hard 1598 01:17:22,133 --> 01:17:25,692 Speaker 2: to understand where you're going and where you are. It 1599 01:17:25,812 --> 01:17:27,293 Speaker 2: is a bit of a lab and then you turn 1600 01:17:27,372 --> 01:17:30,772 Speaker 2: a corner and then bang, there's the beautiful behavior in 1601 01:17:30,853 --> 01:17:33,532 Speaker 2: your face and you suddenly get patriotic and you put 1602 01:17:33,532 --> 01:17:35,492 Speaker 2: your hand on your heart and you sing the national 1603 01:17:35,492 --> 01:17:38,492 Speaker 2: anthem beautiful and then you walk a little bit further 1604 01:17:38,692 --> 01:17:41,293 Speaker 2: and you're completely lost, and then you find the waterfront 1605 01:17:41,333 --> 01:17:43,973 Speaker 2: and it's fantastic, great city. But I went down there 1606 01:17:44,013 --> 01:17:47,732 Speaker 2: to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Yes, and 1607 01:17:48,053 --> 01:17:53,933 Speaker 2: it was an absolutely fantastic show. But it was I 1608 01:17:54,053 --> 01:17:56,013 Speaker 2: went along to the I'm a huge Knick Kave fan, 1609 01:17:56,253 --> 01:17:58,572 Speaker 2: and I was really excited about the show and I 1610 01:17:58,692 --> 01:18:03,372 Speaker 2: went along completely sober, yep to watch experience every single 1611 01:18:03,572 --> 01:18:05,772 Speaker 2: moment of the show. It's quite expensive to go to 1612 01:18:05,853 --> 01:18:08,732 Speaker 2: a show now, so you know, I went long and 1613 01:18:09,812 --> 01:18:11,692 Speaker 2: I noticed a lot of stuff that you don't necessarily 1614 01:18:11,772 --> 01:18:13,333 Speaker 2: notice at a concert. If you're not sober. 1615 01:18:13,452 --> 01:18:13,932 Speaker 3: This is good. 1616 01:18:14,173 --> 01:18:16,612 Speaker 2: Like the amount of people that just pushed through passed you. 1617 01:18:17,333 --> 01:18:19,892 Speaker 2: And actually, as I said before, when I was watching 1618 01:18:20,372 --> 01:18:22,772 Speaker 2: that cave, he was on stage and he was performing 1619 01:18:22,812 --> 01:18:25,452 Speaker 2: one of my favorite songs offer the new album Wild God, 1620 01:18:26,053 --> 01:18:30,372 Speaker 2: called Joy, and just when he sung the line We've 1621 01:18:30,452 --> 01:18:32,732 Speaker 2: had so much sorrow, now is the time for joy, 1622 01:18:33,173 --> 01:18:35,612 Speaker 2: a woman in her fifties beside me just vomited everywhere, 1623 01:18:36,093 --> 01:18:39,532 Speaker 2: just vomited everywhere, and then dropped her four pals on 1624 01:18:39,572 --> 01:18:39,932 Speaker 2: the ground. 1625 01:18:40,253 --> 01:18:41,052 Speaker 3: That is a tragedy. 1626 01:18:41,213 --> 01:18:44,093 Speaker 2: But anyway, a couple of a couple of thoughts came 1627 01:18:44,133 --> 01:18:47,012 Speaker 2: to mind, and one of them was, if you're spending 1628 01:18:47,013 --> 01:18:51,532 Speaker 2: money on a concert, is it wise to get absolutely steamed? 1629 01:18:51,572 --> 01:18:53,973 Speaker 2: Because I think I enjoyed the concert more because I 1630 01:18:54,093 --> 01:18:56,852 Speaker 2: was sober and I could experience every moment. I was 1631 01:18:56,933 --> 01:19:01,572 Speaker 2: there to experience the incredible music of this incredibly talented musician. 1632 01:19:02,452 --> 01:19:06,532 Speaker 2: And secondly, what are the rules around concerts? So if 1633 01:19:06,652 --> 01:19:09,293 Speaker 2: you arrive at the concert late and you want to 1634 01:19:09,293 --> 01:19:13,532 Speaker 2: be up the front, is it part of the rules 1635 01:19:13,532 --> 01:19:15,333 Speaker 2: that you're allowed to just push past everyone to the front. 1636 01:19:15,652 --> 01:19:17,213 Speaker 2: Because the other thing that was happening is was this 1637 01:19:17,293 --> 01:19:19,892 Speaker 2: tall guy behind me, and we chatted to him when 1638 01:19:19,933 --> 01:19:23,173 Speaker 2: we arrived and had a great chat. And he said, oh, 1639 01:19:23,253 --> 01:19:25,572 Speaker 2: stand in front of me to Tracy, my partner, who's 1640 01:19:26,133 --> 01:19:28,612 Speaker 2: she's not the tallest person in the world. I don't 1641 01:19:28,612 --> 01:19:30,053 Speaker 2: know how tall she is. She might be five to 1642 01:19:30,093 --> 01:19:32,652 Speaker 2: three yep, something like that.

The number of entitled people 1771 01:24:52,253 --> 01:24:54,133 Speaker 2: boomers that I came across, I think there's a lot 1772 01:24:54,173 --> 01:24:56,173 Speaker 2: of entitled gen x is there that I came across 1773 01:24:56,213 --> 01:24:58,933 Speaker 2: at that At that particular conscert was crazy. Unfortunately, a 1774 01:24:58,933 --> 01:25:02,333 Speaker 2: woman puked next to me and my friends, so we 1775 01:25:02,412 --> 01:25:05,013 Speaker 2: had to move about two meters to the right, and 1776 01:25:05,213 --> 01:25:07,732 Speaker 2: we got such vit roll from three baby boomers who 1777 01:25:07,772 --> 01:25:10,133 Speaker 2: decided that we were not allowed enough to stand in 1778 01:25:10,213 --> 01:25:12,732 Speaker 2: front of them. They were all quite tall as well, 1779 01:25:12,893 --> 01:25:14,772 Speaker 2: so I think it was that particular concert. But I 1780 01:25:14,812 --> 01:25:18,093 Speaker 2: felt like telling them all, hay, grandpas, if you really 1781 01:25:18,173 --> 01:25:20,932 Speaker 2: want allocated spaces, then go sit up in the expensive 1782 01:25:20,973 --> 01:25:24,053 Speaker 2: seats and don't get GA tickets.

A woman puked next to me and 1786 01:25:32,133 --> 01:25:34,772 Speaker 2: my friend, so we moved about two minutes to the right. 1787 01:25:35,253 --> 01:25:37,372 Speaker 2: I was to the right of the woman that vomited right, 1788 01:25:37,853 --> 01:25:39,772 Speaker 2: so you would have must have walked near me. 1789 01:25:40,013 --> 01:25:42,213 Speaker 3: You were right by the Sean Feller.

And then and 1809 01:26:30,013 --> 01:26:32,933 Speaker 3: then he looked around and everyone else was seated to 1810 01:26:33,013 --> 01:26:35,053 Speaker 3: be fair, and I did have a skinful with me 1811 01:26:35,372 --> 01:26:38,372 Speaker 3: and he said, look around, you read the room. I'm like, 1812 01:26:38,452 --> 01:26:40,972 Speaker 3: I am reading the room, mate, it's Elton John Crocodile Rock. 1813 01:26:41,293 --> 01:26:45,492 Speaker 2: Well, the interesting thing about that is that's general admission seated? 1814 01:26:45,572 --> 01:26:45,692 Speaker 22: Was it? 1815 01:26:45,853 --> 01:26:49,452 Speaker 2: It is so at Nick Cave, the general admission was 1816 01:26:49,492 --> 01:26:52,652 Speaker 2: all standing, right, because it's a Google like situation where 1817 01:26:52,652 --> 01:26:54,692 Speaker 2: everyone holds their hands up and tries to grab him. 1818 01:26:55,093 --> 01:26:58,293 Speaker 2: But I think if you're going into general admission at standing, 1819 01:26:58,372 --> 01:27:01,612 Speaker 2: you can expect a lower form of behavior. 1820 01:27:02,372 --> 01:27:03,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's true. 1821 01:27:03,293 --> 01:27:04,892 Speaker 2: You know you're paying for a sort of a more 1822 01:27:05,492 --> 01:27:09,732 Speaker 2: raw experience. Yeah, The stixer says, funniest concert involving alcohol 1823 01:27:09,772 --> 01:27:12,732 Speaker 2: is Liam Gallagher with all the Pommy hooligans throwing half 1824 01:27:12,772 --> 01:27:14,812 Speaker 2: full cups of beer in the air and watching them 1825 01:27:14,893 --> 01:27:17,973 Speaker 2: land on an unassuming people's head. Now, I went to 1826 01:27:18,093 --> 01:27:21,093 Speaker 2: the Liam Gallagher concert at Auckland with a massive head 1827 01:27:21,093 --> 01:27:22,812 Speaker 2: of steam on, and I humiliated myself with that. I 1828 01:27:22,933 --> 01:27:25,212 Speaker 2: might share that later, might not alistair Welcome to the show. 1829 01:27:26,053 --> 01:27:30,452 Speaker 14: I'd get a man tyler, how's it going very well? Hey, 1830 01:27:31,173 --> 01:27:33,933 Speaker 14: here's the one obseration I've made it recently gone to 1831 01:27:33,973 --> 01:27:37,812 Speaker 14: a few concerts, is in the ga area near the front. 1832 01:27:38,412 --> 01:27:42,972 Speaker 14: Is that humans naturally form in rows, even in the GA. 1833 01:27:43,173 --> 01:27:45,652 Speaker 14: So what I've found to get in and out near 1834 01:27:45,692 --> 01:27:47,253 Speaker 14: the front, even if you have to go the toilet 1835 01:27:47,333 --> 01:27:50,333 Speaker 14: or something, you walk down the edges, because normally the 1836 01:27:50,452 --> 01:27:54,612 Speaker 14: edges of the concert aren't that tightly packed. You kind 1837 01:27:54,652 --> 01:27:57,732 Speaker 14: of remember which human row you were in, and then 1838 01:27:57,772 --> 01:28:00,293 Speaker 14: you just sort of wander along the row as if 1839 01:28:00,333 --> 01:28:03,973 Speaker 14: you were in a seated situation, because people were just 1840 01:28:04,053 --> 01:28:08,012 Speaker 14: standing in lines anyway, So I've found kind of first 1841 01:28:08,053 --> 01:28:10,492 Speaker 14: view from the back, which is a nightmare and does 1842 01:28:10,612 --> 01:28:14,732 Speaker 14: cause a bit of a bit of a bit of trouble. Yeah, 1843 01:28:14,772 --> 01:28:16,612 Speaker 14: you simply slide your way across. 1844 01:28:16,893 --> 01:28:20,173 Speaker 2: That's genius, of course, because then everyone you're walking past 1845 01:28:20,333 --> 01:28:22,173 Speaker 2: is that they're not losing their position for you to 1846 01:28:22,253 --> 01:28:27,612 Speaker 2: go past. Why, this is brilliant, This is brilliant. 1847 01:28:27,652 --> 01:28:31,013 Speaker 14: Hopefully I'm not giving away my trade.

It was 2104 01:40:31,532 --> 01:40:34,492 Speaker 20: Motley Crue and Alice Cooper, it was. 2105 01:40:35,133 --> 01:40:36,093 Speaker 2: But it was good. 2106 01:40:36,213 --> 01:40:38,253 Speaker 20: Yeah, and it was except Motley Creue didn't have the 2107 01:40:38,492 --> 01:40:44,333 Speaker 20: I mean, Tommy didn't have the revolving drum kit. Yeah, 2108 01:40:44,412 --> 01:40:45,213 Speaker 20: thank goodness. 2109 01:40:46,692 --> 01:40:47,652 Speaker 2: Stopped taking his pens off. 2110 01:40:48,253 --> 01:40:51,053 Speaker 20: But I'll tell you what, when I hear about the 2111 01:40:51,093 --> 01:40:53,253 Speaker 20: people pre loading and doing all this sort of stuff, 2112 01:40:54,093 --> 01:40:56,812 Speaker 20: and I'm no prude or anything like that. I just 2113 01:40:56,933 --> 01:40:59,892 Speaker 20: think there's a chance you're going to go to the concert. 2114 01:41:00,093 --> 01:41:01,372 Speaker 20: And I know when I was young, there was a 2115 01:41:01,372 --> 01:41:03,812 Speaker 20: few concerts I got cooked on the booze and you know, 2116 01:41:03,973 --> 01:41:06,173 Speaker 20: afterwards with jokes say well I can't even remember the concert, 2117 01:41:06,253 --> 01:41:09,852 Speaker 20: you know, so stopped doing that. But I think that 2118 01:41:09,933 --> 01:41:13,933 Speaker 20: in some respects it's the concert that it depends on 2119 01:41:14,053 --> 01:41:16,532 Speaker 20: the band in a lot of ways. I mean, there's 2120 01:41:16,572 --> 01:41:19,492 Speaker 20: a like I can remember going to the first Sprawls, 2121 01:41:19,612 --> 01:41:23,093 Speaker 20: not the commercial things, but the ones that were karitahi 2122 01:41:23,213 --> 01:41:24,812 Speaker 20: and just you know the first too. 2123 01:41:25,013 --> 01:41:26,012 Speaker 13: The first three were. 2124 01:41:26,013 --> 01:41:29,293 Speaker 20: Non alcohol things. I mean, certainly people were getting blazed 2125 01:41:29,333 --> 01:41:32,892 Speaker 20: on pop, massid and ecstasy, but there was no trouble. 2126 01:41:33,173 --> 01:41:36,333 Speaker 20: There was no fights or anything like that, and you 2127 01:41:36,372 --> 01:41:38,492 Speaker 20: could notice it. And then in the latest Sprawls, I 2128 01:41:38,492 --> 01:41:41,852 Speaker 20: think it was about the fourth one down the Further Thames, 2129 01:41:42,452 --> 01:41:45,293 Speaker 20: they allowed booze and there were sort of roped off 2130 01:41:45,333 --> 01:41:47,652 Speaker 20: areas and it was just a different vibe, you know, 2131 01:41:47,933 --> 01:41:51,852 Speaker 20: a very different vibe, and that's when that thing started 2132 01:41:51,933 --> 01:41:54,133 Speaker 20: to change. But I mean I'm looking at things like 2133 01:41:54,612 --> 01:41:57,492 Speaker 20: at the end of the months, Tikitani and dub Effects 2134 01:41:57,492 --> 01:42:00,012 Speaker 20: are playing at the Tuning Fork. Now, I doubt whether 2135 01:42:00,053 --> 01:42:02,612 Speaker 20: there's going to be boozed out people there. There'll be 2136 01:42:02,692 --> 01:42:05,572 Speaker 20: more more often as not going to those guys I 2137 01:42:05,652 --> 01:42:06,333 Speaker 20: get on the poth. 2138 01:42:06,333 --> 01:42:10,532 Speaker 2: What either mellow and well behaved. 2139 01:42:11,213 --> 01:42:14,293 Speaker 20: Yeah, yeah, it's like a massive attack. I saw them 2140 01:42:14,732 --> 01:42:19,733 Speaker 20: at I think it was at Campbell. Yeah, and everybody's 2141 01:42:20,173 --> 01:42:24,093 Speaker 20: well mannered, you know, and it's just but you know, 2142 01:42:24,333 --> 01:42:28,412 Speaker 20: certainly it depends on the band and like the big 2143 01:42:28,532 --> 01:42:31,652 Speaker 20: venues like Western Springs, you're going to get a big 2144 01:42:31,812 --> 01:42:34,612 Speaker 20: wide section of people. Like Laneway's probably had a big 2145 01:42:34,652 --> 01:42:37,612 Speaker 20: white you know, they are younger demographic of course, but 2146 01:42:37,812 --> 01:42:39,412 Speaker 20: there's going to be so many people there. There's going 2147 01:42:39,452 --> 01:42:41,932 Speaker 20: to be people that get cooked, you know, on the booze. 2148 01:42:42,973 --> 01:42:46,452 Speaker 20: And it's a shame really because you know, but I remember, 2149 01:42:46,492 --> 01:42:48,013 Speaker 20: I mean there were bands in Auckland, you know, we 2150 01:42:48,133 --> 01:42:50,173 Speaker 20: used to go and see you know, like back in 2151 01:42:50,253 --> 01:42:53,213 Speaker 20: the seventies was a band called the Booze Fighters. You know, 2152 01:42:53,293 --> 01:42:55,572 Speaker 20: they've played at the Blues Barn up Queen Street and 2153 01:42:55,652 --> 01:42:57,572 Speaker 20: things like that. It was sort of made a joke 2154 01:42:57,652 --> 01:43:00,652 Speaker 20: of sort of thing. But certainly these days it just 2155 01:43:00,732 --> 01:43:02,973 Speaker 20: sounds like people jumping. 2156 01:43:02,732 --> 01:43:05,412 Speaker 2: To you've been going to You've been going to bands 2157 01:43:05,452 --> 01:43:06,053 Speaker 2: for a long time. 2158 01:43:06,133 --> 01:43:12,412 Speaker 20: Ride I'm a heart hardcore muso. Yeah, saying I just 2159 01:43:12,492 --> 01:43:15,253 Speaker 20: heard an ad just mentioning Santana's coming in March. I 2160 01:43:15,333 --> 01:43:19,053 Speaker 20: love Sandana. I saw him at Albany Stadium back.

I mean, I wanted 2169 01:43:34,893 --> 01:43:37,133 Speaker 20: to go and see Billy Strings, but when I sort 2170 01:43:37,173 --> 01:43:39,293 Speaker 20: of saw the cost, I just got too many other 2171 01:43:39,372 --> 01:43:42,253 Speaker 20: things to do.

Most people were. There was a bit 2206 01:45:22,652 --> 01:45:24,933 Speaker 3: of standing room in the front. But I decided to 2207 01:45:24,973 --> 01:45:27,133 Speaker 3: get up midway through the concert, and you mentioned Crock, 2208 01:45:27,173 --> 01:45:28,973 Speaker 3: Crocodile Rock.

The time when you're officially allowed 2217 01:45:54,093 --> 01:45:57,093 Speaker 2: to stand up in the seats is when it hits 2218 01:45:57,093 --> 01:46:00,612 Speaker 2: the encorese No, surely before that. I mean, these rules 2219 01:46:00,652 --> 01:46:03,532 Speaker 2: aren't printed, but I've never heard that before. But you know, 2220 01:46:04,173 --> 01:46:07,852 Speaker 2: artists will want would prefer that the audience is dancing. 2221 01:46:07,893 --> 01:46:10,572 Speaker 2: Then set out wouldn't they.
