So 177 00:07:38,413 --> 00:07:42,653 Speaker 2: you and none of these bad boys here count And 178 00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:44,573 Speaker 2: those don't count because we're talking about the bad boys. 179 00:07:44,573 --> 00:07:46,173 Speaker 2: These aren't counting as the bad boys. We're not allowed 180 00:07:46,213 --> 00:07:46,693 Speaker 2: to say. 181 00:07:46,613 --> 00:07:49,173 Speaker 3: Right from here on, as soon as I right now, no, 182 00:07:49,253 --> 00:07:51,093 Speaker 3: you still want to check out a few more, I. 183 00:07:51,133 --> 00:07:54,333 Speaker 2: Think from when the show starts after this, Okay, okay, 184 00:07:54,373 --> 00:07:56,573 Speaker 2: as soon as we've done with this part, yeah, no 185 00:07:56,733 --> 00:07:59,693 Speaker 2: more BB one bad boy each between now and the 186 00:07:59,773 --> 00:08:01,813 Speaker 2: end of the show. All right, and you can help 187 00:08:01,893 --> 00:08:04,293 Speaker 2: us out on nine two, nine and two or eight 188 00:08:04,373 --> 00:08:06,453 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty ten eighty if you hear a bad boy. 189 00:08:06,293 --> 00:08:07,973 Speaker 3: And we may have an alarm that goes off if 190 00:08:08,013 --> 00:08:09,813 Speaker 3: one is I should because the bosses are pretty hot 191 00:08:09,813 --> 00:08:10,973 Speaker 3: on this. No more bbs. 192 00:08:11,053 --> 00:08:13,213 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so, and there'll be a punishment. I was 193 00:08:13,213 --> 00:08:16,013 Speaker 2: suggesting before that I would I would take my belt 194 00:08:16,013 --> 00:08:21,773 Speaker 2: off and administer an old school parental punishment on you 195 00:08:21,813 --> 00:08:22,453 Speaker 2: if you bad. 196 00:08:22,333 --> 00:08:26,613 Speaker 3: Boyd severe but fear some would argue, many would argue. 197 00:08:25,933 --> 00:08:28,413 Speaker 2: And and I think if I bad boy, then I 198 00:08:28,413 --> 00:08:29,133 Speaker 2: have to buy you a beer. 199 00:08:29,213 --> 00:08:31,013 Speaker 4: So I think that's probably the best way. 200 00:08:30,813 --> 00:08:32,893 Speaker 3: To do it, right. So that's our first guarantee of 201 00:08:32,893 --> 00:08:35,733 Speaker 3: the show. You can count on that. After three o'clock, 202 00:08:35,893 --> 00:08:37,493 Speaker 3: lads trips, Yeah, that's right. 203 00:08:37,533 --> 00:08:40,732 Speaker 2: A man is for advice after his girlfriend has forbade 204 00:08:40,813 --> 00:08:42,813 Speaker 2: him going on a boy's trip. We want to know 205 00:08:42,892 --> 00:08:45,213 Speaker 2: do you support your partner going away and ripping it 206 00:08:45,293 --> 00:08:47,852 Speaker 2: up with their friends, or do you shut them down, 207 00:08:48,012 --> 00:08:50,653 Speaker 2: or worse, do you insist on going along with them. 208 00:08:51,413 --> 00:08:55,453 Speaker 2: That's a very important topic in these days of social isolation. 209 00:08:55,492 --> 00:08:57,892 Speaker 2: I think it's very important that people keep friend groups 210 00:08:57,933 --> 00:09:02,292 Speaker 2: going and spend time outside their relationship. Speaking of which, 211 00:09:02,813 --> 00:09:05,933 Speaker 2: member of my friend group, Jeremy Wells is joining us 212 00:09:05,933 --> 00:09:07,973 Speaker 2: on the show as well to talk about a new 213 00:09:08,012 --> 00:09:10,453 Speaker 2: book about the commentary team that we're both a part of, 214 00:09:10,492 --> 00:09:15,333 Speaker 2: the alternative commentary collective, the acc almanaks out and he's 215 00:09:15,333 --> 00:09:17,053 Speaker 2: got some good chat to show with us on that. 216 00:09:17,252 --> 00:09:19,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking forward to Evin Jeremy on the show to 217 00:09:19,252 --> 00:09:22,293 Speaker 3: talk about the Almanac after two o'clock. Our fresco dining 218 00:09:22,333 --> 00:09:25,732 Speaker 3: fees of Riled Up Torong in Mount Monganui cafe and 219 00:09:25,892 --> 00:09:29,053 Speaker 3: restaurant owners. This started to be charged by the council 220 00:09:29,372 --> 00:09:32,453 Speaker 3: on July one. So the question we're going to throw 221 00:09:32,492 --> 00:09:35,493 Speaker 3: out there is do councils, because it's not just Toyroong 222 00:09:35,852 --> 00:09:38,813 Speaker 3: and the Mounts that charge these alfresco fees. Auckland do it? 223 00:09:38,892 --> 00:09:41,333 Speaker 3: Christ you just do it? Wellington do it? Just give 224 00:09:41,413 --> 00:09:44,613 Speaker 3: cafes a bit of a break for goodness sake. Yeah. 225 00:09:44,892 --> 00:09:48,412 Speaker 2: In my opinion, the primary job of a council is 226 00:09:48,453 --> 00:09:52,093 Speaker 2: to help businesses do their business and the more people 227 00:09:52,093 --> 00:09:56,013 Speaker 2: we can get out and about sitting at cafes and 228 00:09:56,533 --> 00:09:59,093 Speaker 2: bars on the street having a great time. 229 00:09:59,173 --> 00:09:59,653 Speaker 4: The better. 230 00:10:00,492 --> 00:10:04,252 Speaker 2: Hospital employs people, It gets people together, So councils should 231 00:10:04,293 --> 00:10:06,173 Speaker 2: not be looking at finding them for it. They should 232 00:10:06,213 --> 00:10:08,492 Speaker 2: be looking at ways to help them facilitate their business. 233 00:10:08,533 --> 00:10:11,613 Speaker 3: In my humble opinion, Tyler, that's a beautiful opinion. That's 234 00:10:11,653 --> 00:10:15,052 Speaker 3: after two o'clock. Right now, Transport Minister Simon Brown is 235 00:10:15,132 --> 00:10:19,213 Speaker 3: quietly investigating a shakup of aviation security at New Zealand airports, 236 00:10:19,213 --> 00:10:23,132 Speaker 3: hoping to speed up passenger processing and cut costs. So Brown, 237 00:10:23,173 --> 00:10:26,252 Speaker 3: who's made no secret of is disdain for queues at 238 00:10:26,252 --> 00:10:30,492 Speaker 3: the airport's screening points, is considering outsourcing security services currently 239 00:10:30,573 --> 00:10:34,333 Speaker 3: run by Aviation Security also known as AVSEC, which is 240 00:10:34,413 --> 00:10:37,973 Speaker 3: part of the Civil Aviation Authority. AVCC is owned by 241 00:10:37,973 --> 00:10:41,292 Speaker 3: the government, largely funded through fees paid by passengers when 242 00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:44,693 Speaker 3: they buy their tickets. But in a discussion document sent 243 00:10:44,732 --> 00:10:47,813 Speaker 3: to airports and airlines and obtained by The Herald, Brown 244 00:10:47,892 --> 00:10:51,693 Speaker 3: raised the prospect of av sex jobs being run by airports, 245 00:10:51,732 --> 00:10:55,813 Speaker 3: airlines and private security companies. But this is a doozy. 246 00:10:55,852 --> 00:10:58,372 Speaker 3: I mean a lot of people listening right now would 247 00:10:58,372 --> 00:11:00,373 Speaker 3: have had a mirror of a time going through that 248 00:11:00,492 --> 00:11:01,933 Speaker 3: aviation security checkpoint. 249 00:11:02,093 --> 00:11:04,853 Speaker 2: Yeah, whether it is outsourced or not. I think the 250 00:11:04,892 --> 00:11:08,053 Speaker 2: way it's run right now, you can see inefficiencies, so 251 00:11:08,533 --> 00:11:12,132 Speaker 2: what could what could they do better? Now, whether they're 252 00:11:12,132 --> 00:11:15,933 Speaker 2: handed over or not. When you're going through security, do 253 00:11:16,012 --> 00:11:19,013 Speaker 2: you see inefficiencies? Do you see things that could be 254 00:11:19,053 --> 00:11:21,053 Speaker 2: done better? One hundred and eighty ten eighty. 255 00:11:20,973 --> 00:11:23,293 Speaker 3: I see a lack of consistency. That's the big one 256 00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:25,773 Speaker 3: for me is quite often I'll be asked to take 257 00:11:25,773 --> 00:11:28,173 Speaker 3: my boots off. Yep, take the belt off. That's fine, 258 00:11:28,213 --> 00:11:31,333 Speaker 3: I know the drill. But recently when I had to 259 00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:34,252 Speaker 3: fly a pe to Auckland, actually when we were planning 260 00:11:34,293 --> 00:11:37,173 Speaker 3: for the show and I started to get the laptop 261 00:11:37,173 --> 00:11:38,732 Speaker 3: out and they said, oh no, don't worry about that, 262 00:11:38,852 --> 00:11:41,292 Speaker 3: so we'll ended that change. I always got the laptop out, 263 00:11:41,372 --> 00:11:44,012 Speaker 3: and not only that is then I got pulled across 264 00:11:44,012 --> 00:11:46,492 Speaker 3: because they found something suspicious in my bag. Turned out 265 00:11:46,533 --> 00:11:49,893 Speaker 3: a couple of AA rechargeable batteries not allowed I know 266 00:11:51,093 --> 00:11:54,973 Speaker 3: how Yeah, and I felt like, oh, oh, this is 267 00:11:54,973 --> 00:11:57,293 Speaker 3: that of really stuffed up here because they you know, 268 00:11:57,372 --> 00:11:59,893 Speaker 3: then the stern face comes on. They take it to 269 00:11:59,933 --> 00:12:01,973 Speaker 3: the side. Everyone can say, all cheap as that guy's 270 00:12:02,012 --> 00:12:05,012 Speaker 3: going down yep, And they had to throw those double 271 00:12:05,012 --> 00:12:06,973 Speaker 3: A batteries away and they're expensive as well. 272 00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:10,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that that seems ridiculous to me. And 273 00:12:10,252 --> 00:12:12,813 Speaker 2: the belts and the boots. Don't get me started on boots. 274 00:12:13,012 --> 00:12:15,973 Speaker 2: Let people wear boots on a plane. You're holding up 275 00:12:15,973 --> 00:12:18,533 Speaker 2: the queue getting people to take their boots on and off. 276 00:12:18,773 --> 00:12:21,132 Speaker 4: Anyway, what do you think? What inefficiencies do you see 277 00:12:21,213 --> 00:12:26,532 Speaker 4: right now at airport security? Domestically in New Zealand e 278 00:12:26,533 --> 00:12:28,053 Speaker 4: one hundred and eighteen eighty. 279 00:12:27,892 --> 00:12:30,253 Speaker 3: It is twelve past one, back very shortly. 280 00:12:31,612 --> 00:12:35,093 Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and 281 00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:36,333 Speaker 1: everything in between. 282 00:12:36,492 --> 00:12:38,533 Speaker 5: Mat Heath and Tyler Adams. 283 00:12:38,093 --> 00:12:42,293 Speaker 1: Afternoons you for twenty twenty four US Talk said, be it's. 284 00:12:42,213 --> 00:12:44,453 Speaker 3: A quarter past one.

We are living the 296 00:13:15,732 --> 00:13:16,293 Speaker 4: dream up here. 297 00:13:16,372 --> 00:13:18,772 Speaker 3: But you can live the dream anywhere in this fantastic 298 00:13:18,813 --> 00:13:21,053 Speaker 3: country of ours, can't you. Oh he's good, isn't he? Blair? 299 00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:28,133 Speaker 6: It's going to have to try a bit harder. Hey anyway, Yes, 300 00:13:28,213 --> 00:13:28,933 Speaker 6: so sick. 301 00:13:29,173 --> 00:13:29,373 Speaker 7: Yes. 302 00:13:30,453 --> 00:13:35,612 Speaker 6: Improvements and consistency I think is probably the key. You know, 303 00:13:35,653 --> 00:13:39,213 Speaker 6: when you get allowed to take a single or my 304 00:13:39,492 --> 00:13:41,813 Speaker 6: daughter in law is allowed to take a single action 305 00:13:41,973 --> 00:13:45,372 Speaker 6: lighter on a flight from Wellington to Auckland, gets through 306 00:13:45,372 --> 00:13:48,413 Speaker 6: no problem, but gets pulled when we want to come 307 00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:51,013 Speaker 6: back from Auckland to Wellington and they say, oh no, 308 00:13:51,132 --> 00:13:53,012 Speaker 6: you can't have a single action lighter and you've got 309 00:13:53,012 --> 00:13:57,333 Speaker 6: to get rid of it. Where's the consistency? If it's 310 00:13:57,333 --> 00:13:59,373 Speaker 6: good enough to fly up there, surely it's good enough 311 00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:01,252 Speaker 6: to fly back on. 312 00:14:01,252 --> 00:14:03,333 Speaker 2: The whole Would you would and the whole blear? Would 313 00:14:03,333 --> 00:14:05,132 Speaker 2: you think that you should be allowed to fly with 314 00:14:05,933 --> 00:14:06,453 Speaker 2: a lighter. 315 00:14:08,132 --> 00:14:10,693 Speaker 6: It wasn't that it was a lighter. It was the 316 00:14:10,732 --> 00:14:16,693 Speaker 6: fact that it was a single single activation lighter action lighter. 317 00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:19,173 Speaker 2: So what's the difference between there's a single activation and 318 00:14:19,213 --> 00:14:19,853 Speaker 2: a duel activation. 319 00:14:21,693 --> 00:14:26,293 Speaker 6: Well, I don't really know. I mean, I guess if 320 00:14:26,333 --> 00:14:28,013 Speaker 6: you're talking like a zippo where you've got to lift 321 00:14:28,013 --> 00:14:30,293 Speaker 6: a lid and then strike it, that would be a 322 00:14:30,373 --> 00:14:33,013 Speaker 6: dual action. If you're just talking about a like a 323 00:14:33,053 --> 00:14:36,133 Speaker 6: pleaser type, we'd just press a button once and it lights. 324 00:14:36,413 --> 00:14:39,013 Speaker 6: I guess that's what they would call a single action. 325 00:14:39,213 --> 00:14:41,653 Speaker 2: So you're allowed, you're allowed a duel action, but not 326 00:14:41,693 --> 00:14:45,412 Speaker 2: a single action, correct, man, I reckon I could do 327 00:14:45,493 --> 00:14:48,173 Speaker 2: a lot more damage with a duel election is a 328 00:14:48,173 --> 00:14:49,693 Speaker 2: powerful powerful lighter? 329 00:14:50,773 --> 00:14:54,133 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I just but the thing is if 330 00:14:54,173 --> 00:14:56,253 Speaker 6: you can, if you can fly up with one type, 331 00:14:56,533 --> 00:14:58,893 Speaker 6: how come you can't fly back with the same type. 332 00:14:58,813 --> 00:14:59,013 Speaker 3: Yeah. 333 00:14:59,653 --> 00:15:02,613 Speaker 6: Yeah, So that's that's my question around that. 334 00:15:03,853 --> 00:15:05,573 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I mean, I talk And this 335 00:15:05,813 --> 00:15:08,253 Speaker 3: was genuine blair that I had those double a bed 336 00:15:08,893 --> 00:15:11,333 Speaker 3: taken off me and when I had to pull over 337 00:15:11,333 --> 00:15:13,493 Speaker 3: to the side and he said, there's some batteries in 338 00:15:13,533 --> 00:15:15,693 Speaker 3: your bag, and I said yeah, because I had a 339 00:15:15,693 --> 00:15:19,013 Speaker 3: couple of vake pens in there, and there was the 340 00:15:19,013 --> 00:15:22,013 Speaker 3: the storage banks, you know, the big batteries, but it 341 00:15:22,093 --> 00:15:24,173 Speaker 3: was the little ones they took and I thought batteries 342 00:15:24,173 --> 00:15:27,853 Speaker 3: are battery, isn't it. So I'm allowed a big battery bank, 343 00:15:27,893 --> 00:15:29,172 Speaker 3: but I'm not allowed a small double it. 344 00:15:29,373 --> 00:15:31,053 Speaker 2: So it's the idea in the battery that you are 345 00:15:31,053 --> 00:15:34,533 Speaker 2: going to use it to power something dodgy, or that 346 00:15:34,613 --> 00:15:37,573 Speaker 2: the battery might be something that they don't know what 347 00:15:37,613 --> 00:15:37,933 Speaker 2: it is. 348 00:15:38,093 --> 00:15:40,013 Speaker 3: I didn't ask questions at that point because you don't 349 00:15:40,013 --> 00:15:42,053 Speaker 3: want to get off side with the sick. If they 350 00:15:42,053 --> 00:15:43,573 Speaker 3: said we're going to take the batteries, I said, yep, 351 00:15:43,613 --> 00:15:44,532 Speaker 3: take whatever you want. 352 00:15:44,413 --> 00:15:46,052 Speaker 4: Please, Yeah, yeah. 353 00:15:45,653 --> 00:15:47,933 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know what the actual reason is 354 00:15:47,933 --> 00:15:50,253 Speaker 3: for taking that genobly Is it because they think that 355 00:15:50,293 --> 00:15:52,053 Speaker 3: you might use those batteries for something the. 356 00:15:52,093 --> 00:15:55,093 Speaker 8: Furious I suppose. 357 00:15:56,013 --> 00:15:58,933 Speaker 6: I mean, were they lithiums or were they just like ads, 358 00:15:58,973 --> 00:16:01,333 Speaker 6: you know with outder standard sort of ever any things 359 00:16:01,453 --> 00:16:04,533 Speaker 6: or these lithium ones that are that are getting a 360 00:16:04,533 --> 00:16:09,013 Speaker 6: reputation for self igniting. But I mean then at the 361 00:16:09,133 --> 00:16:11,053 Speaker 6: end of the day, I think if if you're going 362 00:16:11,093 --> 00:16:13,093 Speaker 6: to have a self igniting battery, I think it's probably 363 00:16:13,093 --> 00:16:15,453 Speaker 6: better to have it in the cabin with you then 364 00:16:15,533 --> 00:16:17,253 Speaker 6: down on the hole with no bugger's going to see 365 00:16:17,253 --> 00:16:18,172 Speaker 6: it if it goes. 366 00:16:18,413 --> 00:16:21,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, And also I mean you've got your cell phone battery, 367 00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:23,172 Speaker 2: you can take your laptop battery on there.

Yeah, put them on 494 00:21:36,853 --> 00:21:37,653 Speaker 4: the no fly list. 495 00:21:38,813 --> 00:21:40,853 Speaker 13: Yeah, No, I was just sort of thinking because of 496 00:21:40,893 --> 00:21:44,093 Speaker 13: the actual charge itself, it's got scott wires coming out 497 00:21:44,093 --> 00:21:44,293 Speaker 13: of it. 498 00:21:44,893 --> 00:21:45,053 Speaker 14: Now. 499 00:21:45,093 --> 00:21:48,373 Speaker 13: What they've done and they is they've changed the X 500 00:21:48,453 --> 00:21:50,973 Speaker 13: ray machines from two D to three D right now, 501 00:21:51,013 --> 00:21:53,653 Speaker 13: that that takes a lot of time to go in 502 00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:56,573 Speaker 13: like three dimensional, to go through all your pockets, to 503 00:21:56,573 --> 00:22:00,693 Speaker 13: pick up everything that's in your bag. That just takes time, 504 00:22:00,853 --> 00:22:05,373 Speaker 13: and ultimately that that slows the cues down unfortunately. But 505 00:22:05,413 --> 00:22:09,293 Speaker 13: it's it's just one of those things. That I'd rather 506 00:22:09,373 --> 00:22:12,973 Speaker 13: have that five ten minute weight knowing that that bag's 507 00:22:13,013 --> 00:22:15,613 Speaker 13: going to be checked and there's not this mental bomb 508 00:22:15,653 --> 00:22:18,493 Speaker 13: in it, or a gun that you can put together 509 00:22:18,573 --> 00:22:21,253 Speaker 13: in three or four pieces on the plane and start 510 00:22:21,293 --> 00:22:22,093 Speaker 13: shooting someone. 511 00:22:22,373 --> 00:22:24,173 Speaker 2: Well, I've got a couple of questions for you, John, 512 00:22:24,253 --> 00:22:27,693 Speaker 2: as someone that's whose wife works said have sex, how 513 00:22:27,733 --> 00:22:35,213 Speaker 2: often does she find something dangerous, like literally legitimately dangerous 514 00:22:35,253 --> 00:22:37,292 Speaker 2: that could lead to kind of those security issues you're 515 00:22:37,293 --> 00:22:37,853 Speaker 2: talking about. 516 00:22:39,333 --> 00:22:42,493 Speaker 13: She had an issue last week. All the bells and 517 00:22:42,533 --> 00:22:46,053 Speaker 13: missles went off. Team leaders were called and thankfully it 518 00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,253 Speaker 13: was a false alarm, but it was picked up through 519 00:22:48,293 --> 00:22:53,013 Speaker 13: the new three D X ray machine and it looked suspicious, 520 00:22:53,053 --> 00:22:57,933 Speaker 13: but on further investigation it was clear. But if they 521 00:22:58,093 --> 00:23:01,853 Speaker 13: privatize this place and just to get people through quicker, 522 00:23:02,733 --> 00:23:04,933 Speaker 13: that would have been missed, that would have been put 523 00:23:04,973 --> 00:23:08,293 Speaker 13: on a plane, and you imagine if something had happen 524 00:23:08,653 --> 00:23:10,293 Speaker 13: up at twenty thirty thousand. 525 00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,613 Speaker 3: Feet or they do privatize. 526 00:23:13,373 --> 00:23:18,133 Speaker 2: It is privatized in London and Australia, and you arguably 527 00:23:18,173 --> 00:23:21,493 Speaker 2: have a higher security risk there. John, I've got a 528 00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:25,493 Speaker 2: question for you as well, another question, follow up question. 529 00:23:26,493 --> 00:23:28,413 Speaker 2: I was once going through security and I saw a 530 00:23:28,453 --> 00:23:31,773 Speaker 2: glock pop up in the picture and someone's like, you know, 531 00:23:31,813 --> 00:23:34,173 Speaker 2: a glock a handgun. He popped up in the picture 532 00:23:34,333 --> 00:23:37,173 Speaker 2: of someone's bag, and then I went, oh, my goodness 533 00:23:37,213 --> 00:23:40,053 Speaker 2: to the person like your wife that works there, and 534 00:23:40,093 --> 00:23:42,293 Speaker 2: then they just pressed it, tapped on it, and it disappeared. 535 00:23:43,173 --> 00:23:47,373 Speaker 2: And what it was, if I understand correctly, is every 536 00:23:47,373 --> 00:23:49,293 Speaker 2: now and then the system will pop up a picture 537 00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:50,533 Speaker 2: to make sure that you're watching. 538 00:23:50,613 --> 00:23:51,853 Speaker 3: Can you confirm or deny this? 539 00:23:53,253 --> 00:23:56,933 Speaker 13: Yes, that's right, that the test would The ray machines 540 00:23:57,013 --> 00:24:01,453 Speaker 13: that are like they're rostered every fifteen minutes, so you're 541 00:24:01,453 --> 00:24:03,213 Speaker 13: on a for fifteen minutes, you're taken off to do 542 00:24:03,293 --> 00:24:06,333 Speaker 13: another duty and then you come back, so your attention 543 00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:11,373 Speaker 13: isn't basically you don't get bored on it. Other duties 544 00:24:11,453 --> 00:24:13,773 Speaker 13: they're rostered to half an hour, then they're shifted off 545 00:24:13,773 --> 00:24:16,653 Speaker 13: to do something else. They come back, so they're rostered 546 00:24:16,653 --> 00:24:20,013 Speaker 13: around all the time doing different duties so they don't 547 00:24:20,053 --> 00:24:25,853 Speaker 13: get distracted board what do you want to call it? Yeah, 548 00:24:26,053 --> 00:24:28,933 Speaker 13: with the X ray machines, it's very intensive, especially with 549 00:24:29,093 --> 00:24:32,093 Speaker 13: you three d ones. Yeah, yeah, fifteen minutes they're taken 550 00:24:32,133 --> 00:24:35,733 Speaker 13: off do something else. But yeah, they early in the mornings, 551 00:24:35,773 --> 00:24:38,893 Speaker 13: they go around and the team leaders put out test 552 00:24:38,933 --> 00:24:42,693 Speaker 13: pieces all around the terminal and the people are rostered 553 00:24:42,733 --> 00:24:44,613 Speaker 13: on earlier. They have to go out and find these 554 00:24:44,653 --> 00:24:46,253 Speaker 13: test pieces. They could be in the air bridge. 555 00:24:46,293 --> 00:24:46,813 Speaker 3: This is good. 556 00:24:47,013 --> 00:24:49,533 Speaker 2: That sounds fun. Yeah, that would be my part of 557 00:24:49,573 --> 00:24:51,493 Speaker 2: the job. That would be my favorite part of the 558 00:24:51,573 --> 00:24:53,973 Speaker 2: day if I worked in there. Hide and seek and 559 00:24:54,013 --> 00:24:55,293 Speaker 2: a sick Yeah, I like it. 560 00:24:55,333 --> 00:24:59,133 Speaker 3: Well, just on the three D you have to find them. Yeah, 561 00:24:59,293 --> 00:25:01,333 Speaker 3: just on the three D scanners. John, why did they 562 00:25:01,653 --> 00:25:04,173 Speaker 3: bring those out? Well, what side you said on? Because 563 00:25:04,573 --> 00:25:07,413 Speaker 3: are you saying that they are Security comes first and 564 00:25:07,453 --> 00:25:09,693 Speaker 3: foremost and we need the three D scanners there to 565 00:25:09,733 --> 00:25:12,373 Speaker 3: make sure that nothing nefarious is getting on the flight 566 00:25:12,493 --> 00:25:14,453 Speaker 3: or do you think genuinely it's a little bit too 567 00:25:14,533 --> 00:25:15,733 Speaker 3: much for domestic. 568 00:25:16,613 --> 00:25:21,613 Speaker 13: Oh yeah, it's sort of domestic. It's it's different like 569 00:25:21,933 --> 00:25:24,933 Speaker 13: if you're on a jet. That's why you go through 570 00:25:24,973 --> 00:25:27,773 Speaker 13: security thing because that plane is capable of going into 571 00:25:27,813 --> 00:25:30,733 Speaker 13: national They're not worried about propellers. They can't go into nationals. 572 00:25:30,773 --> 00:25:33,013 Speaker 13: They don't worry about that, right. It comes from the 573 00:25:33,453 --> 00:25:38,813 Speaker 13: International Civil Aviation Authority, which is overseas that's they're worried 574 00:25:38,813 --> 00:25:41,613 Speaker 13: about the jet planes that can take off from here. 575 00:25:41,733 --> 00:25:42,933 Speaker 3: I've always wanted where that was. 576 00:25:43,173 --> 00:25:45,093 Speaker 2: I've always wanted why you can just rock onto an 577 00:25:45,093 --> 00:25:47,532 Speaker 2: ADR and no one cares, But on a jet that 578 00:25:47,573 --> 00:25:48,373 Speaker 2: makes sense exactly. 579 00:25:48,773 --> 00:25:51,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is good job. We're learning a lot here. 580 00:25:51,373 --> 00:25:56,493 Speaker 3: I got to take a break. It is half past one. 581 00:25:56,493 --> 00:26:00,453 Speaker 14: Talks the headlines with blue bubble taxis. It's no trouble 582 00:26:00,453 --> 00:26:03,573 Speaker 14: with a blue bubble.

The Local Government Minister 586 00:26:14,253 --> 00:26:17,293 Speaker 14: says he's concerned a rethink of Wellington's long term plan 587 00:26:17,613 --> 00:26:21,133 Speaker 14: will hit ratepayers. Simon Brown says he's waiting for official 588 00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:25,493 Speaker 14: advice for mcgreen MP Darling Tana's appeal isn't affecting the 589 00:26:25,533 --> 00:26:29,133 Speaker 14: party's plans to discuss this week whether to invoke laws 590 00:26:29,133 --> 00:26:33,173 Speaker 14: to booter from Parliament.

Now back to Matt Eith and 601 00:27:13,773 --> 00:27:14,533 Speaker 14: Tyler Adams. 602 00:27:14,573 --> 00:27:17,453 Speaker 3: Thank you, Rayleen, it is twenty six to two. And Marie, 603 00:27:17,493 --> 00:27:19,293 Speaker 3: how are you good? 604 00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:19,573 Speaker 15: Thanks? 605 00:27:19,653 --> 00:27:21,893 Speaker 3: Are you very well? You used to work for EVZEC. 606 00:27:22,853 --> 00:27:26,293 Speaker 15: I did just quite recently. They were just introducing, as 607 00:27:26,293 --> 00:27:30,733 Speaker 15: I left, the three D X ray machines, which you 608 00:27:30,733 --> 00:27:32,693 Speaker 15: can actually see a lot lot more wrong, which is 609 00:27:32,733 --> 00:27:35,933 Speaker 15: why you don't have to take your laptop out anymore. 610 00:27:36,413 --> 00:27:36,532 Speaker 7: So. 611 00:27:36,733 --> 00:27:39,693 Speaker 15: On the two D machines you can't actually see through them, 612 00:27:39,773 --> 00:27:42,333 Speaker 15: so you can have anything hidden behind them. Seven nine 613 00:27:42,333 --> 00:27:44,773 Speaker 15: ty get episcides as you can't. They're very very dense. 614 00:27:45,613 --> 00:27:48,533 Speaker 15: But with the three D X rays you can turn 615 00:27:48,573 --> 00:27:50,493 Speaker 15: them around. You can spin everything around you can see 616 00:27:50,533 --> 00:27:51,773 Speaker 15: exactly where everything is. 617 00:27:52,573 --> 00:27:55,293 Speaker 3: That That is interesting how many airports have that now? 618 00:27:55,373 --> 00:27:57,133 Speaker 2: Because I was going through Aukland the other day and 619 00:27:57,133 --> 00:27:58,693 Speaker 2: it said there was a sign saying you have to 620 00:27:58,693 --> 00:28:00,893 Speaker 2: take your laptop out, but then when I went up 621 00:28:00,933 --> 00:28:02,333 Speaker 2: to go through, they said you don't have to take 622 00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:03,093 Speaker 2: it your laptop out. 623 00:28:03,133 --> 00:28:04,533 Speaker 15: As I was taking in there, I see a lot 624 00:28:04,573 --> 00:28:08,053 Speaker 15: of the international ones. They're doing all the international ones first, 625 00:28:08,373 --> 00:28:11,693 Speaker 15: flying domestically. They're slowly taking over a little bit at 626 00:28:11,693 --> 00:28:14,453 Speaker 15: a time, but it depends. I don't really know what 627 00:28:14,613 --> 00:28:17,653 Speaker 15: order they're doing. Excuse me, they're doing them at and 628 00:28:18,013 --> 00:28:19,813 Speaker 15: again I think it was John that was your previous 629 00:28:19,813 --> 00:28:22,733 Speaker 15: caller had mentioned about everything. All the rules are handed 630 00:28:22,733 --> 00:28:24,333 Speaker 15: down from the CIA, so if you want to be 631 00:28:24,373 --> 00:28:27,493 Speaker 15: an international airport, you have to abide by those rules. 632 00:28:27,613 --> 00:28:30,613 Speaker 15: And why some of those are different in other countries, 633 00:28:30,653 --> 00:28:34,173 Speaker 15: I don't know. Because we are always told you must 634 00:28:34,213 --> 00:28:35,893 Speaker 15: take the boots off, don't have sex shoes. You can 635 00:28:35,973 --> 00:28:37,973 Speaker 15: hide things in boots. You can hide things around your 636 00:28:37,973 --> 00:28:41,173 Speaker 15: ankle which can go through the metal detector. There's three 637 00:28:41,253 --> 00:28:43,893 Speaker 15: D printing now people have got three D princes knives, 638 00:28:44,693 --> 00:28:47,973 Speaker 15: so they've just been extra cautious. You know, if you're 639 00:28:48,213 --> 00:28:50,573 Speaker 15: traveling in America, you take shoes and boots off. 640 00:28:50,733 --> 00:28:54,693 Speaker 3: Yeah, so as a new technology on both both, your 641 00:28:54,693 --> 00:28:57,493 Speaker 3: bag goes through the scanner and then if you get 642 00:28:57,493 --> 00:28:59,533 Speaker 3: picked up on the metal detector, you have to go 643 00:28:59,613 --> 00:29:01,973 Speaker 3: through and stand with your arms apart and do the 644 00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:04,293 Speaker 3: three D scanning. Then. So both of those systems are 645 00:29:04,293 --> 00:29:05,013 Speaker 3: being upgraded, have. 646 00:29:05,053 --> 00:29:09,413 Speaker 15: They yes, so if you you'll still through. I think 647 00:29:09,733 --> 00:29:12,413 Speaker 15: eventually they want to do away with the first one, 648 00:29:12,453 --> 00:29:16,973 Speaker 15: the metal detector, and everyone will just be scanned on throw. 649 00:29:17,013 --> 00:29:20,213 Speaker 15: But the metal detector does just pick up metal. The 650 00:29:20,293 --> 00:29:22,813 Speaker 15: scanner picks up any anomalaly if it doesn't matter whether 651 00:29:22,813 --> 00:29:24,933 Speaker 15: it's metal or not. You could have a big, bulky 652 00:29:24,933 --> 00:29:28,173 Speaker 15: handkerchief in your pocket, it'll pick that up. It's just 653 00:29:28,333 --> 00:29:30,213 Speaker 15: it's it's scans you, but it's not an X ray. 654 00:29:30,253 --> 00:29:32,853 Speaker 15: It just scanns your body. And if you've got anything 655 00:29:32,893 --> 00:29:34,933 Speaker 15: that shouldn't be there, then we ask if we can 656 00:29:34,933 --> 00:29:37,453 Speaker 15: please pat that area down just to clear the area. 657 00:29:38,253 --> 00:29:40,373 Speaker 15: And people forget all sorts of things. People do have 658 00:29:40,413 --> 00:29:42,373 Speaker 15: pocket knives in their pocket and they've just forgotten that 659 00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:42,813 Speaker 15: they're there. 660 00:29:43,973 --> 00:29:46,653 Speaker 3: What happens in that situation A Marie. If they find 661 00:29:46,653 --> 00:29:49,413 Speaker 3: a pocket knife, is it all all hands for the 662 00:29:49,453 --> 00:29:52,493 Speaker 3: pump at that stage for ebbs or no. 663 00:29:52,613 --> 00:29:55,173 Speaker 15: We just it depends on the size, because there is 664 00:29:55,773 --> 00:29:57,813 Speaker 15: a size of them. It's of blades and scissors. I 665 00:29:57,813 --> 00:29:59,933 Speaker 15: think it's I believe it was six centimeters. If it's 666 00:29:59,973 --> 00:30:03,333 Speaker 15: over that, it can't go through. It has to be confiscated. 667 00:30:03,813 --> 00:30:05,813 Speaker 3: Henry, how long did you work for six. 668 00:30:05,733 --> 00:30:08,613 Speaker 16: Four I was only there for eight months, okay. 669 00:30:09,053 --> 00:30:12,373 Speaker 2: So in your time there, and you know, talking to 670 00:30:12,613 --> 00:30:17,293 Speaker 2: other workers there, how often did you find something or 671 00:30:17,373 --> 00:30:20,373 Speaker 2: heard about people finding something that, rather than being a mistake, 672 00:30:20,493 --> 00:30:24,973 Speaker 2: they actually thought was a genuine attempt at an attack 673 00:30:25,413 --> 00:30:28,773 Speaker 2: on a plane, a genuine terrorist threat. 674 00:30:29,013 --> 00:30:32,493 Speaker 15: A genuine zero and most of them are zero. People 675 00:30:32,533 --> 00:30:36,853 Speaker 15: just bring things back through accidentally. I think the worst 676 00:30:36,853 --> 00:30:38,733 Speaker 15: thing I found was a knuckle duster, and that so 677 00:30:38,773 --> 00:30:40,813 Speaker 15: that that's an illegal thing that police had to be 678 00:30:40,853 --> 00:30:44,213 Speaker 15: called for that, right, There's very I mean, I think 679 00:30:44,253 --> 00:30:46,733 Speaker 15: the most frustrating thing because we do get frustrated too, 680 00:30:46,773 --> 00:30:49,373 Speaker 15: and I know passengers do. But standing on the other side, 681 00:30:49,413 --> 00:30:53,773 Speaker 15: the biggest frustration for us is passengers believe their brains 682 00:30:53,893 --> 00:30:56,013 Speaker 15: in the taxis are in their cars and get into 683 00:30:56,053 --> 00:30:59,773 Speaker 15: the airport. They do not read signs, because most of 684 00:30:59,773 --> 00:31:01,733 Speaker 15: the signs at the airport I was at were very clear, 685 00:31:01,853 --> 00:31:05,053 Speaker 15: please empty your pockets, please take laptops out. And people 686 00:31:05,053 --> 00:31:09,013 Speaker 15: would come through with keys and phone and everything in 687 00:31:09,053 --> 00:31:10,853 Speaker 15: their pockets. So you'd send them back and they'd come 688 00:31:10,893 --> 00:31:13,133 Speaker 15: back through again there's still something else, and you've sent 689 00:31:13,253 --> 00:31:16,133 Speaker 15: sometimes three or four times. Just can you just take 690 00:31:16,133 --> 00:31:18,693 Speaker 15: your jacket off? Can you just please empty everything thing 691 00:31:18,733 --> 00:31:21,653 Speaker 15: with out of your pocket. That's what slows the whole 692 00:31:21,653 --> 00:31:25,493 Speaker 15: production laying down. Otherwise it's really fairly quick. You go through. 693 00:31:25,533 --> 00:31:27,093 Speaker 15: You don't be if you pick up your bag at 694 00:31:27,133 --> 00:31:29,373 Speaker 15: the other end. I mean the battery thing. The battery 695 00:31:29,373 --> 00:31:31,253 Speaker 15: shouldn't have been taken off here. You just had to. 696 00:31:34,373 --> 00:31:34,893 Speaker 3: Wanted to run. 697 00:31:35,053 --> 00:31:39,293 Speaker 2: Noies my pans tylert that you had something else there. 698 00:31:39,293 --> 00:31:40,773 Speaker 4: I didn't want to look at anymore. 699 00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:43,133 Speaker 3: I think the AFC guy was still talking to me 700 00:31:43,133 --> 00:31:43,773 Speaker 3: while I was running. 701 00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:49,653 Speaker 2: I swear though that that in all that time nothing 702 00:31:50,013 --> 00:31:50,893 Speaker 2: has been through. 703 00:31:51,173 --> 00:31:53,533 Speaker 3: That was a genuine risk. It's an interesting thing to 704 00:31:53,533 --> 00:31:53,733 Speaker 3: go to. 705 00:31:53,733 --> 00:31:57,173 Speaker 2: A job every day and you never quite find the 706 00:31:57,213 --> 00:32:01,053 Speaker 2: thing that is you're there to find, because no one's 707 00:32:01,053 --> 00:32:03,453 Speaker 2: trying to get them on on onto planes, and god 708 00:32:03,453 --> 00:32:06,413 Speaker 2: forbid someone does. But I mean maybe that's an argument 709 00:32:06,453 --> 00:32:11,653 Speaker 2: that we could make things a little bit lacksa domestically, 710 00:32:11,733 --> 00:32:15,013 Speaker 2: but of course, because the jet planes can go overseas, 711 00:32:15,053 --> 00:32:17,413 Speaker 2: we have to be beholden to international rules. 712 00:32:17,413 --> 00:32:20,133 Speaker 3: But a good point, Am Mariemade that if people read 713 00:32:20,253 --> 00:32:22,533 Speaker 3: what was allowed in the bags to carry on bags 714 00:32:22,613 --> 00:32:25,613 Speaker 3: and had it sorted before they got to aviation security, 715 00:32:25,813 --> 00:32:27,333 Speaker 3: run a lot smother. Yeah, but no one's ever going 716 00:32:27,373 --> 00:32:31,173 Speaker 3: to do that, are they? Like you might do that? Well, 717 00:32:31,253 --> 00:32:33,693 Speaker 3: I didn't because you wish to my battery. 718 00:32:33,893 --> 00:32:36,933 Speaker 2: Any good system takes into account that people will be useless. 719 00:32:37,253 --> 00:32:38,973 Speaker 2: Every good system takes that into account. 720 00:32:38,973 --> 00:32:41,173 Speaker 3: Wise words, it is twenty one to two. 721 00:32:42,613 --> 00:32:45,893 Speaker 1: Mattie Taylor Adams with you as your afternoon rolls on. 722 00:32:46,053 --> 00:32:49,453 Speaker 1: Matt Even Tyler Adams afternoons used talk said, be. 723 00:32:49,813 --> 00:32:52,293 Speaker 3: Good afternoon to you. It is eighteen to two. 724 00:32:52,933 --> 00:32:55,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, Transport Minister Simeon Brown is exploring options to outsource 725 00:32:56,013 --> 00:33:00,173 Speaker 2: aviation security airports. Before we do that, are there inefficiencies 726 00:33:00,213 --> 00:33:03,453 Speaker 2: that you see when you're going through airport security domestically 727 00:33:03,493 --> 00:33:05,733 Speaker 2: in New Zealand that you think could move things along? 728 00:33:06,213 --> 00:33:09,173 Speaker 2: I personally believe that thing as we've ever ever found 729 00:33:09,333 --> 00:33:11,573 Speaker 2: anything in. 730 00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:13,533 Speaker 3: A boot that people should just be able to rock 731 00:33:13,573 --> 00:33:15,573 Speaker 3: through with their boots. Yeah, that's a big one for you, 732 00:33:15,693 --> 00:33:16,013 Speaker 3: isn't it. 733 00:33:16,053 --> 00:33:17,693 Speaker 2: In fact, I don't think they found one anywhere in 734 00:33:17,693 --> 00:33:20,253 Speaker 2: the world. Richard Reid, that was the guy that was 735 00:33:20,253 --> 00:33:22,293 Speaker 2: was it two thousand and one? So he's done so 736 00:33:22,373 --> 00:33:25,133 Speaker 2: much damage that guys who was getting on a transatlantic 737 00:33:25,173 --> 00:33:29,813 Speaker 2: fight with a bomb and a shoe a terrible human being, 738 00:33:30,653 --> 00:33:33,093 Speaker 2: and as a result, people all around the world fit 739 00:33:33,133 --> 00:33:35,613 Speaker 2: to take their shoots off his shoes off on flights. 740 00:33:36,733 --> 00:33:39,533 Speaker 3: The US do go hard on aviation security, and we 741 00:33:39,573 --> 00:33:41,933 Speaker 3: all understand why the US particularly goes. 742 00:33:42,493 --> 00:33:44,053 Speaker 2: I get it. I get it in the United States 743 00:33:44,053 --> 00:33:46,413 Speaker 2: of America. I definitely get it in the UK. 744 00:33:46,213 --> 00:33:48,613 Speaker 3: But they almost make you completely disrow before you go 745 00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:52,573 Speaker 3: through security in the US. Patty, how are you this afternoon? Hi? 746 00:33:53,333 --> 00:33:57,053 Speaker 16: I'm very well. Thanks. Good afternoon, guys, Good afternoon.

So he said, oh, you're 756 00:34:17,213 --> 00:34:20,652 Speaker 16: not taking the earbux to unclean noise. I said, yeah, 757 00:34:20,733 --> 00:34:22,652 Speaker 16: well you can't take the battery. I said, yeah, I 758 00:34:22,653 --> 00:34:26,533 Speaker 16: know that, so he said so I said, oh, talking 759 00:34:26,573 --> 00:34:29,453 Speaker 16: about that, I said, what is the deal with these batteries? 760 00:34:29,813 --> 00:34:33,973 Speaker 16: So he said, because I'm acting stupid easy, So he says, 761 00:34:34,013 --> 00:34:35,893 Speaker 16: oh no, he says, you know, we've just reduced the 762 00:34:35,893 --> 00:34:38,173 Speaker 16: size of the battery so that you can take on 763 00:34:38,213 --> 00:34:40,453 Speaker 16: a plane.

I said, you 768 00:34:50,773 --> 00:34:52,693 Speaker 16: are serious, so he said yeah. 769 00:34:52,893 --> 00:34:53,093 Speaker 7: Now. 770 00:34:53,173 --> 00:34:54,533 Speaker 16: I don't know if he was just telling me this 771 00:34:54,573 --> 00:34:56,173 Speaker 16: to get rid of me or what, but anyway, so 772 00:34:56,213 --> 00:34:59,853 Speaker 16: I said to him, do you know what elethia mine 773 00:34:59,893 --> 00:35:02,973 Speaker 16: battery does when you put it into water?

You know, 930 00:41:25,813 --> 00:41:28,053 Speaker 3: a power band is a bigger battery. Isn't that more 931 00:41:28,053 --> 00:41:28,732 Speaker 3: of a fire risk? 932 00:41:30,013 --> 00:41:35,732 Speaker 22: Well, well, I don't know the brisk between.

It's 949 00:42:18,613 --> 00:42:21,813 Speaker 3: might You might have these batteries in that just reignite themselves, 950 00:42:21,853 --> 00:42:25,093 Speaker 3: and then you've got a world of trouble. Yeah, okay, 951 00:42:26,653 --> 00:42:28,252 Speaker 3: is it a world or trouble?

Someone could just go. 956 00:42:37,933 --> 00:42:39,652 Speaker 3: And it's out. Yeah, but I don't want to have 957 00:42:39,693 --> 00:42:43,573 Speaker 3: that conversation with aircrew and when we finally land and say, 958 00:42:43,293 --> 00:42:45,573 Speaker 3: were they your double A batteries?

I felt like 974 00:43:23,653 --> 00:43:24,493 Speaker 3: I was being picked on it. 975 00:43:24,493 --> 00:43:24,973 Speaker 5: But you did. 976 00:43:25,173 --> 00:43:28,053 Speaker 3: Yeah, we couldn't have something kind of rule. 977 00:43:28,133 --> 00:43:30,013 Speaker 2: You've got to take your bar off before you go 978 00:43:30,093 --> 00:43:33,333 Speaker 2: through security. That's the consistency you're talking about. Yeah, because 979 00:43:33,373 --> 00:43:35,733 Speaker 2: I have to take my belt off, but if I 980 00:43:35,773 --> 00:43:37,573 Speaker 2: was wearing a bra, I would get to leave it on. 981 00:43:38,293 --> 00:43:40,453 Speaker 3: Just to come full circle on this, yeah, because this 982 00:43:40,573 --> 00:43:45,213 Speaker 3: is about privatizing sec or allowing airports to run their 983 00:43:45,253 --> 00:43:48,693 Speaker 3: own security, and we all know clearly there's some inconsistencies 984 00:43:48,733 --> 00:43:50,652 Speaker 3: in the process. Now, will they do a better job? 985 00:43:50,893 --> 00:43:53,173 Speaker 2: Well, they do it in the UK. I think airports 986 00:43:53,213 --> 00:43:55,652 Speaker 2: do a very very good job of getting people through 987 00:43:55,693 --> 00:43:59,053 Speaker 2: and organizing organizing the throw of people. And I know 988 00:43:59,093 --> 00:44:01,613 Speaker 2: that if he in New Zealand or an airline was 989 00:44:02,293 --> 00:44:04,213 Speaker 2: running it, they'd be very careful and keep up to 990 00:44:04,253 --> 00:44:05,893 Speaker 2: the regulations. So I'm sure they could do it as 991 00:44:05,933 --> 00:44:07,812 Speaker 2: good a job. I guess that comes down to price 992 00:44:07,813 --> 00:44:11,373 Speaker 2: for the government and efficiency. Anyway, should we put that 993 00:44:12,133 --> 00:44:13,573 Speaker 2: airport security chat to bed? 994 00:44:13,773 --> 00:44:13,973 Speaker 13: Yes? 995 00:44:14,053 --> 00:44:17,172 Speaker 2: And speaking of to Bed, I have a sleeping tip 996 00:44:17,213 --> 00:44:19,573 Speaker 2: that you might know, but it's changing my life and 997 00:44:19,613 --> 00:44:21,893 Speaker 2: I feel like I need to share it after the 998 00:44:21,933 --> 00:44:24,853 Speaker 2: news because if you don't know it, it'll make your 999 00:44:24,893 --> 00:44:28,212 Speaker 2: life better or this is a good it's changing my life. 1000 00:44:28,253 --> 00:44:30,373 Speaker 2: This thing I just learned a couple of weeks ago 1001 00:44:30,733 --> 00:44:32,772 Speaker 2: and I want to share it for. 1002 00:44:32,693 --> 00:44:34,772 Speaker 3: The good of the nation.

I actually watched on 1012 00:45:37,253 --> 00:45:38,853 Speaker 4: a YouTube clip with some guy called the. 1013 00:45:38,733 --> 00:45:41,093 Speaker 2: Doctor Sleep humulating name, but he had some good advice 1014 00:45:41,133 --> 00:45:42,573 Speaker 2: that I've been using because. 1015 00:45:42,493 --> 00:45:43,333 Speaker 3: You know you're sleeping. 1016 00:45:43,853 --> 00:45:45,733 Speaker 2: It's all very well to go to bed on time, 1017 00:45:46,133 --> 00:45:48,933 Speaker 2: but you when you wake up in the middle of 1018 00:45:48,973 --> 00:45:52,773 Speaker 2: the night then and you can't get back to sleep. 1019 00:45:52,813 --> 00:45:54,533 Speaker 3: I guess that's a big issue. 1020 00:45:54,533 --> 00:45:56,813 Speaker 2: It is, And what doctor Sleep was pointing out something 1021 00:45:56,813 --> 00:45:58,333 Speaker 2: that I didn't know that a lot of that was 1022 00:45:58,333 --> 00:46:00,652 Speaker 2: to do with the beating of your heart, how high 1023 00:46:00,693 --> 00:46:02,333 Speaker 2: your heart beat has and actually go back to sleep, 1024 00:46:02,373 --> 00:46:05,373 Speaker 2: your heartbeat has to come right down. So say you 1025 00:46:05,373 --> 00:46:07,813 Speaker 2: need to get up to visit the bathroom. Some of 1026 00:46:07,853 --> 00:46:09,493 Speaker 2: us have to a couple of times in the evening 1027 00:46:09,493 --> 00:46:12,493 Speaker 2: because we've got weak pelvic floors. When you get up, 1028 00:46:12,733 --> 00:46:14,453 Speaker 2: you're getting out of bed, and the walking to the 1029 00:46:14,453 --> 00:46:17,613 Speaker 2: bathroom increases your heart rate massive makes sense quite a lot, 1030 00:46:17,933 --> 00:46:20,533 Speaker 2: and actually really fast, because you've gone from completely and 1031 00:46:20,653 --> 00:46:24,613 Speaker 2: utterly docile docile to up and about. So your heart's 1032 00:46:24,613 --> 00:46:28,453 Speaker 2: going but you can't go back to sleep until your 1033 00:46:28,453 --> 00:46:31,773 Speaker 2: heart beat comes down. And there's a very very simple way. 1034 00:46:31,653 --> 00:46:32,053 Speaker 3: To do that. 1035 00:46:32,533 --> 00:46:35,813 Speaker 2: And you might have heard this before, and I had, 1036 00:46:35,813 --> 00:46:37,813 Speaker 2: but I stopped doing it and it's been changing my 1037 00:46:37,853 --> 00:46:38,333 Speaker 2: life recently. 1038 00:46:38,413 --> 00:46:40,613 Speaker 3: So what you do is you breathe in for nine seconds. 1039 00:46:42,493 --> 00:46:43,813 Speaker 3: Oh sorry, I've got that wrong. 1040 00:46:43,853 --> 00:46:46,133 Speaker 2: You breathe in for seven seconds, yep, hold it for 1041 00:46:46,133 --> 00:46:48,293 Speaker 2: four seconds, and then breathe. 1042 00:46:48,093 --> 00:46:50,533 Speaker 3: Out for nine seconds the seven for nine track. 1043 00:46:50,693 --> 00:46:53,173 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you do that, and that has been scientifically 1044 00:46:53,253 --> 00:46:55,493 Speaker 2: proven to lower your heart rate. And so if you 1045 00:46:55,533 --> 00:46:59,853 Speaker 2: concentrate on just that breathing seven for nine, then you 1046 00:46:59,893 --> 00:47:03,293 Speaker 2: can actually feel your heart beat lowering. And this has 1047 00:47:03,373 --> 00:47:05,293 Speaker 2: changed everything for me. And then before I know what, 1048 00:47:05,333 --> 00:47:07,253 Speaker 2: I'm back to sleep because I didn't think about that 1049 00:47:07,613 --> 00:47:10,733 Speaker 2: heart rate. And it makes a question whether you really 1050 00:47:10,773 --> 00:47:12,573 Speaker 2: need to get up and visit the bathroom and all 1051 00:47:12,573 --> 00:47:15,773 Speaker 2: those normal things that don't turn lights on, any lights, 1052 00:47:15,893 --> 00:47:18,493 Speaker 2: checking your phone or you know, finding out what time 1053 00:47:18,533 --> 00:47:20,293 Speaker 2: it is. Any of those kind of things will keep 1054 00:47:20,293 --> 00:47:20,733 Speaker 2: you awake. 1055 00:47:20,773 --> 00:47:23,093 Speaker 3: It's what navy seals do, isn't it. I'm sure that 1056 00:47:23,253 --> 00:47:25,653 Speaker 3: was their technique to calm them down and snipe just 1057 00:47:25,773 --> 00:47:28,213 Speaker 3: before and a sniper sniper, they need to have their 1058 00:47:28,213 --> 00:47:29,813 Speaker 3: heart beat low before they fire. 1059 00:47:30,253 --> 00:47:32,533 Speaker 2: But seriously, try it. If you're waking up in the 1060 00:47:32,533 --> 00:47:36,253 Speaker 2: middle of the night, try this seven for nine. And 1061 00:47:36,293 --> 00:47:38,813 Speaker 2: I've been sleeping, you know, I'm waking up just as much, 1062 00:47:38,813 --> 00:47:40,493 Speaker 2: but I'm being able to get back to sleep better. 1063 00:47:40,493 --> 00:47:43,813 Speaker 3: Live in everybody right, great zip, Now, this is going 1064 00:47:43,893 --> 00:47:47,213 Speaker 3: to be a good discussion our fresco dining and this 1065 00:47:47,373 --> 00:47:50,453 Speaker 3: is specifically in Totonger and Mount Monganui, but this happens 1066 00:47:50,453 --> 00:47:54,093 Speaker 3: across the board in New Zealand. There has been some 1067 00:47:54,173 --> 00:47:58,053 Speaker 3: concern about the fees being charged to cafes and restaurants, 1068 00:47:58,053 --> 00:48:00,973 Speaker 3: and Todroong are to allow some of their tables and 1069 00:48:01,053 --> 00:48:04,653 Speaker 3: chairs to be placed on public foot baths. The council 1070 00:48:05,133 --> 00:48:07,692 Speaker 3: reintroduced the charge. They let it go for a wee 1071 00:48:07,773 --> 00:48:10,613 Speaker 3: while during the pandemic years because they thought it was 1072 00:48:10,653 --> 00:48:14,173 Speaker 3: too much for these cafes and restaurants. Reintroduced it in 1073 00:48:14,293 --> 00:48:17,413 Speaker 3: July and the charges it stands now is about seven 1074 00:48:17,493 --> 00:48:20,453 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty bucks a year. That's Edmund Coss then 1075 00:48:20,493 --> 00:48:23,172 Speaker 3: an extra one hundred and fifty bucks per square meter 1076 00:48:23,653 --> 00:48:26,293 Speaker 3: and quite rightly, the cafes and restaurants in the Mount 1077 00:48:26,493 --> 00:48:29,493 Speaker 3: and Todonga are wildly upset with these charges. 1078 00:48:29,653 --> 00:48:34,453 Speaker 2: So right now in Auckland and Christchurch and Wellington they 1079 00:48:34,853 --> 00:48:38,013 Speaker 2: charge alfresco dining fees for cafes and bars. 1080 00:48:38,133 --> 00:48:41,533 Speaker 3: Yep, correct different charges and we will find out how 1081 00:48:41,573 --> 00:48:45,733 Speaker 3: much they actually charge. In Auckland and christ Church always controversial. 1082 00:48:45,813 --> 00:48:48,653 Speaker 3: It is controversial in christ Churge, controversial up here in Auckland, 1083 00:48:48,853 --> 00:48:51,013 Speaker 3: controversial in Wellington Well one hundred and. 1084 00:48:50,973 --> 00:48:51,653 Speaker 4: Eighty ten to eighty. 1085 00:48:52,013 --> 00:48:55,053 Speaker 2: Should councils be charging olfresco fees or should we be 1086 00:48:55,093 --> 00:48:58,333 Speaker 2: doing everything we can to get people out and enjoying 1087 00:48:59,053 --> 00:49:05,093 Speaker 2: beautiful cities and doing everything we can to help HOSPO 1088 00:49:05,213 --> 00:49:06,093 Speaker 2: in the difficult time. 1089 00:49:06,613 --> 00:49:08,893 Speaker 3: Before I get your take on there, and it's a 1090 00:49:08,893 --> 00:49:12,853 Speaker 3: good take, a hot take, Mount Monganuy Business Association destination 1091 00:49:13,333 --> 00:49:16,333 Speaker 3: manager Michael Clark said O fresco dining at a vibrancy 1092 00:49:16,373 --> 00:49:18,933 Speaker 3: and helped attract visitors to the area. He's not there. 1093 00:49:19,693 --> 00:49:21,093 Speaker 3: He went on to say, I don't think there should 1094 00:49:21,093 --> 00:49:24,573 Speaker 3: be any charges for using these public spaces for those reasons. 1095 00:49:24,613 --> 00:49:27,732 Speaker 3: The co owner of Polar Dessert bar On Prince av 1096 00:49:27,973 --> 00:49:31,133 Speaker 3: said the fees came as many Mount Monganuy businesses face 1097 00:49:31,213 --> 00:49:34,333 Speaker 3: rising costs, including council rates and the price of goods. 1098 00:49:34,413 --> 00:49:36,573 Speaker 3: They went on to say, I don't think it's justified 1099 00:49:36,573 --> 00:49:40,413 Speaker 3: for our council to charge us significantly more for street 1100 00:49:40,453 --> 00:49:43,493 Speaker 3: dining spaces than other main centers. This is just piling 1101 00:49:43,573 --> 00:49:47,653 Speaker 3: even more misery onto businesses already struggling, and you'd agreed 1102 00:49:47,693 --> 00:49:48,453 Speaker 3: with those businesses. 1103 00:49:49,173 --> 00:49:50,933 Speaker 2: I guess the question is what do we want from 1104 00:49:51,373 --> 00:49:56,053 Speaker 2: our cities. We want a thriving, thriving hospo industry, and 1105 00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:58,053 Speaker 2: we want people out and about. We want people getting 1106 00:49:58,053 --> 00:50:00,693 Speaker 2: out of their houses, we want people spending time together 1107 00:50:00,893 --> 00:50:04,933 Speaker 2: in the community, and we don't want businesses going out 1108 00:50:05,013 --> 00:50:09,772 Speaker 2: of business because of fees like this. And I would 1109 00:50:09,773 --> 00:50:12,693 Speaker 2: say personally that that's the council's One of the councils 1110 00:50:12,853 --> 00:50:15,693 Speaker 2: of any city's primary jobs is to make sure that 1111 00:50:15,773 --> 00:50:19,373 Speaker 2: we have harming districts, huming entertainment districts. 1112 00:50:19,773 --> 00:50:21,453 Speaker 3: And a lot of people will agree with you. But 1113 00:50:21,653 --> 00:50:25,493 Speaker 3: here's the response from the council why they have reintroduced 1114 00:50:25,493 --> 00:50:29,413 Speaker 3: these charges. So City Council City Development and Partnerships General 1115 00:50:29,453 --> 00:50:33,493 Speaker 3: Manager Gareth Willis said the council fully sympathized with the 1116 00:50:33,533 --> 00:50:37,693 Speaker 3: hospital businesses facing tough times, but he said it's important 1117 00:50:37,733 --> 00:50:40,893 Speaker 3: to have written street dining agreements with businesses to ensure 1118 00:50:40,933 --> 00:50:44,853 Speaker 3: pedestrians can properly access spaces. 1119 00:50:44,973 --> 00:50:47,613 Speaker 2: Yeah mate, sure, good one, but that doesn't mean that 1120 00:50:47,653 --> 00:50:50,053 Speaker 2: you need to charge them for it. You can just 1121 00:50:50,093 --> 00:50:54,213 Speaker 2: make some rules around where the tables are and negotiate 1122 00:50:54,253 --> 00:50:57,853 Speaker 2: with the businesses on that. If you're worried about pedestrians 1123 00:50:57,933 --> 00:51:00,613 Speaker 2: not having enough space to walk past, etc. You don't 1124 00:51:00,653 --> 00:51:03,212 Speaker 2: need to then charge them per meter. 1125 00:51:03,653 --> 00:51:05,853 Speaker 3: But how much of the footpath are they taking up here? 1126 00:51:06,013 --> 00:51:08,253 Speaker 3: It's got to be done discreetly, right, we're just talk 1127 00:51:08,333 --> 00:51:11,053 Speaker 3: looking one part of the pedestrian footpath that they take 1128 00:51:11,133 --> 00:51:12,733 Speaker 3: up with their tables and chairs. They're not blocking the 1129 00:51:12,773 --> 00:51:13,253 Speaker 3: whole football. 1130 00:51:13,293 --> 00:51:15,453 Speaker 2: That's a totally different issue to charging them for it. 1131 00:51:15,693 --> 00:51:21,812 Speaker 2: That's just an issue around space and practicality, and I'm sure, 1132 00:51:21,893 --> 00:51:24,413 Speaker 2: go for your life. Council make some rules around that, 1133 00:51:24,653 --> 00:51:27,933 Speaker 2: but you should be airing on the side in my opinion, 1134 00:51:28,213 --> 00:51:35,453 Speaker 2: of making El Fresco dining and hospo in general more 1135 00:51:35,493 --> 00:51:39,333 Speaker 2: successful and greasing the wheels for them rather than adding 1136 00:51:39,333 --> 00:51:43,013 Speaker 2: costs on top of what unnecessary costs in my opinion, 1137 00:51:43,013 --> 00:51:45,093 Speaker 2: on top of what they're already difficult times. 1138 00:51:45,293 --> 00:51:47,253 Speaker 3: You're hot on this. I love it. Oh eight hundred 1139 00:51:47,333 --> 00:51:49,653 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty. Do you agree with matt here or 1140 00:51:49,693 --> 00:51:52,213 Speaker 3: do you think the council has a right to charge 1141 00:51:52,533 --> 00:51:55,733 Speaker 3: the pedestrian? The footpaths are owned by everybody, so what 1142 00:51:55,773 --> 00:51:57,773 Speaker 3: they're doing there is saying, hey, you can use it, 1143 00:51:57,853 --> 00:52:00,133 Speaker 3: but we're going to charge your fees because you don't 1144 00:52:00,173 --> 00:52:03,013 Speaker 3: actually pay rent on that footpath. That's the rationale. Are 1145 00:52:03,133 --> 00:52:07,133 Speaker 3: going to charge pedestrians for walking part the space they take. 1146 00:52:08,373 --> 00:52:10,013 Speaker 3: Eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty is a number 1147 00:52:10,013 --> 00:52:14,733 Speaker 3: to call. It is fourteen pass two. 1148 00:52:13,733 --> 00:52:18,453 Speaker 1: Your new home of Afternoon Talk and Taylor Adams Afternoon call. 1149 00:52:18,613 --> 00:52:20,172 Speaker 5: Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. 1150 00:52:20,333 --> 00:52:24,533 Speaker 3: News Talk said, good afternoon, it is sixteen past two. 1151 00:52:24,533 --> 00:52:27,133 Speaker 3: We're talking about a fresco dining. It's kicked off in 1152 00:52:27,213 --> 00:52:30,453 Speaker 3: Tyrong and Mount Mong and Nui. The council has reintroduced 1153 00:52:30,693 --> 00:52:33,813 Speaker 3: the charges to cafes and restaurants that want to utilize 1154 00:52:33,853 --> 00:52:36,653 Speaker 3: the footpaths for a bit of alfresco outdoor dining. 1155 00:52:36,853 --> 00:52:40,252 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I say, do everything you can to support HOSPO. 1156 00:52:40,853 --> 00:52:44,093 Speaker 2: Don't add extra costs that seem unecessary to me. And 1157 00:52:44,253 --> 00:52:46,212 Speaker 2: look in a second, I don't want to slow things down, 1158 00:52:46,213 --> 00:52:50,573 Speaker 2: but I've found something shocking about the world, the word alfresco. 1159 00:52:51,573 --> 00:52:54,053 Speaker 2: And when I share that, I guarantee it'll blow your mind. 1160 00:52:54,053 --> 00:52:56,173 Speaker 2: It's going to change the world, change everything when I 1161 00:52:56,213 --> 00:52:56,573 Speaker 2: share that. 1162 00:52:56,613 --> 00:52:58,933 Speaker 3: But just not not yet. Bryce, what's your take on 1163 00:52:58,973 --> 00:53:01,053 Speaker 3: this one? 1164 00:53:01,373 --> 00:53:03,613 Speaker 17: This one hundred and something dollars that they've got to 1165 00:53:03,613 --> 00:53:06,893 Speaker 17: pay for meter? Yeah, the first square meter is per 1166 00:53:07,053 --> 00:53:08,293 Speaker 17: year or per day at a. 1167 00:53:08,453 --> 00:53:11,253 Speaker 3: Peers to be per year, peers to be per year. 1168 00:53:12,093 --> 00:53:16,613 Speaker 17: So per meter that were to be something like twenty 1169 00:53:16,693 --> 00:53:21,973 Speaker 17: cents a day. Yeah, so that's some of the cheapest rents. 1170 00:53:22,413 --> 00:53:25,333 Speaker 3: Ever, I reckon, we need to look into that. I 1171 00:53:25,373 --> 00:53:25,973 Speaker 3: don't think it is. 1172 00:53:26,053 --> 00:53:26,573 Speaker 7: I think. 1173 00:53:28,253 --> 00:53:32,773 Speaker 17: You carry on, Bryce, It's well, if it's one hundred 1174 00:53:32,813 --> 00:53:34,453 Speaker 17: and something to say, what was it one. 1175 00:53:34,453 --> 00:53:39,652 Speaker 24: Hundred dollars A yeah, we'll just read out the word 1176 00:53:39,653 --> 00:53:40,133 Speaker 24: in we do. 1177 00:53:40,373 --> 00:53:43,133 Speaker 3: We might try and get the Totung City Council on 1178 00:53:43,173 --> 00:53:44,533 Speaker 3: the phone here. So I'm just going to read this 1179 00:53:44,613 --> 00:53:48,773 Speaker 3: out verbatim. So the fees for Mount Main Street businesses 1180 00:53:48,773 --> 00:53:51,013 Speaker 3: for the next financial year will be one hundred and 1181 00:53:51,013 --> 00:53:54,573 Speaker 3: fifty dollars per square meter of street use and half 1182 00:53:54,653 --> 00:53:57,652 Speaker 3: that for Mount Central. They would also have to pay 1183 00:53:57,733 --> 00:54:00,973 Speaker 3: GST in a five hundred dollars administration fee. Now, just 1184 00:54:01,013 --> 00:54:04,973 Speaker 3: to put that into context with Auckland. So they found 1185 00:54:05,053 --> 00:54:07,813 Speaker 3: Auckland charged four hundred and one dollars a year permit 1186 00:54:07,813 --> 00:54:10,253 Speaker 3: fee plus twenty one dollars to one hundred and fifty 1187 00:54:10,253 --> 00:54:13,213 Speaker 3: four dollars a square meter, So that says to me 1188 00:54:13,293 --> 00:54:15,733 Speaker 3: it is per year. But we're going to try and 1189 00:54:15,733 --> 00:54:18,373 Speaker 3: get a hold of Totong District Council and find out 1190 00:54:18,373 --> 00:54:18,853 Speaker 3: about that. 1191 00:54:18,893 --> 00:54:24,732 Speaker 17: Well, if you work at a that's my limited mass 1192 00:54:24,773 --> 00:54:25,733 Speaker 17: around its twenty. 1193 00:54:25,533 --> 00:54:26,053 Speaker 25: Cents a day. 1194 00:54:26,893 --> 00:54:30,213 Speaker 17: But I don't agree with the seven hundred or whatever 1195 00:54:30,373 --> 00:54:36,413 Speaker 17: the administration. I don't agree with that. I think what 1196 00:54:36,493 --> 00:54:40,293 Speaker 17: you do is if you're applying for say six square 1197 00:54:40,373 --> 00:54:43,773 Speaker 17: meters at one hundred and fifty one hundred and twenty 1198 00:54:43,813 --> 00:54:48,613 Speaker 17: whatever dollars per year, you actually cost you for seven 1199 00:54:48,773 --> 00:54:52,772 Speaker 17: because they had one square meter as the administration feet 1200 00:54:52,853 --> 00:54:57,533 Speaker 17: for the year. The other thing that I have and 1201 00:54:58,413 --> 00:55:01,053 Speaker 17: sowing we're in the mountain are already notorious for this 1202 00:55:01,893 --> 00:55:05,893 Speaker 17: is when the restaurants get given a two meters, they 1203 00:55:05,933 --> 00:55:09,853 Speaker 17: take the full foot path and people in wheelchairs, people 1204 00:55:09,893 --> 00:55:16,253 Speaker 17: are with friends and pushchairs and that can't get past 1205 00:55:16,373 --> 00:55:19,493 Speaker 17: these places because well, you've got the people dining, but 1206 00:55:19,613 --> 00:55:21,573 Speaker 17: you've got all the mates that have stopped to talk 1207 00:55:21,613 --> 00:55:23,053 Speaker 17: to them as well. 1208 00:55:23,053 --> 00:55:24,893 Speaker 2: I guess that's a I guess that's a that's a 1209 00:55:24,893 --> 00:55:27,733 Speaker 2: slightly different issue though, I mean, if if you've got 1210 00:55:27,733 --> 00:55:31,413 Speaker 2: a zone that's that's assigned to you and your charge, 1211 00:55:32,013 --> 00:55:34,853 Speaker 2: and then that that's one thing. But I mean, of 1212 00:55:34,853 --> 00:55:37,973 Speaker 2: course a cafe can't take up the whole the whole 1213 00:55:38,013 --> 00:55:43,493 Speaker 2: pavement or else obviously. I mean it's it's it's designed for. 1214 00:55:43,613 --> 00:55:45,253 Speaker 2: I mean, you have the you have the pavement for 1215 00:55:45,253 --> 00:55:47,493 Speaker 2: people to walk down as well, but I mean you 1216 00:55:47,613 --> 00:55:50,053 Speaker 2: built bigger, wider pavements. If there's a big wide pavement, 1217 00:55:50,133 --> 00:55:53,413 Speaker 2: then then there's there's nothing better than then walking down 1218 00:55:53,413 --> 00:55:56,173 Speaker 2: a road and being out in the community with a 1219 00:55:56,213 --> 00:55:58,533 Speaker 2: lot of people sitting out and having a good time. 1220 00:55:58,573 --> 00:55:59,973 Speaker 4: It's it's community with. 1221 00:56:00,093 --> 00:56:02,253 Speaker 3: That change if it's a monthly charge, because I believe 1222 00:56:02,253 --> 00:56:04,333 Speaker 3: it is. I've found some more information here. So this 1223 00:56:04,453 --> 00:56:06,732 Speaker 3: is from the co owner of the Phoenix Bar on 1224 00:56:06,813 --> 00:56:09,533 Speaker 3: the Strand, and he used to make the annual rental 1225 00:56:09,573 --> 00:56:12,613 Speaker 3: for the two outdoor spaces he was negotiating to use 1226 00:56:12,853 --> 00:56:15,333 Speaker 3: would be about six grand a year. So that is 1227 00:56:15,333 --> 00:56:17,933 Speaker 3: a fifty charge. So I think the admin cost of 1228 00:56:18,053 --> 00:56:20,973 Speaker 3: five hundred bucks per year, but then the cost per 1229 00:56:21,053 --> 00:56:23,853 Speaker 3: square meter of outdoor usage has probably charged at a 1230 00:56:23,853 --> 00:56:28,773 Speaker 3: monthly rate, right, Okay, would you support this? 1231 00:56:28,853 --> 00:56:29,133 Speaker 4: Bryce? 1232 00:56:29,173 --> 00:56:32,533 Speaker 2: What happens if you you know, you don't charge the 1233 00:56:32,573 --> 00:56:35,613 Speaker 2: cafes for the space if there is room to go pass, 1234 00:56:35,933 --> 00:56:40,813 Speaker 2: but potentially fines if the if they're outside of the 1235 00:56:40,893 --> 00:56:44,373 Speaker 2: area that's been assigned to them. 1236 00:56:44,533 --> 00:56:47,973 Speaker 17: Yeah, I'd agree with that. You have to very clearly 1237 00:56:48,053 --> 00:56:51,013 Speaker 17: market that make it so those marks could have just 1238 00:56:51,093 --> 00:56:52,373 Speaker 17: been scrubbed out for food. 1239 00:56:52,893 --> 00:56:55,613 Speaker 3: Put up a shrubbery, yeah, put up a shrubbery. Yeah, 1240 00:56:55,653 --> 00:56:59,172 Speaker 3: thank you very much. Bryce. It is twenty one to two. 1241 00:56:59,293 --> 00:57:00,373 Speaker 3: Back fore shortly. 1242 00:57:04,373 --> 00:57:08,013 Speaker 1: Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty 1243 00:57:08,053 --> 00:57:09,493 Speaker 1: ten on talk Z. 1244 00:57:10,373 --> 00:57:12,333 Speaker 3: Very good afternoon to you. Now met you had a 1245 00:57:12,373 --> 00:57:13,773 Speaker 3: bit of a factoid about the word. 1246 00:57:14,493 --> 00:57:16,413 Speaker 2: I remember when I remember growing up in Dneda and 1247 00:57:16,493 --> 00:57:20,093 Speaker 2: when they extended the pavements down George Street and everyone 1248 00:57:20,133 --> 00:57:22,893 Speaker 2: got excited about the world word of alfresco dining. Great 1249 00:57:22,933 --> 00:57:25,853 Speaker 2: word which you can't always do in Dunedin. Beautiful city, 1250 00:57:25,933 --> 00:57:27,853 Speaker 2: pretty city. I love love that town more than anything 1251 00:57:27,853 --> 00:57:28,973 Speaker 2: in the world. But I've got to say there are 1252 00:57:29,533 --> 00:57:31,413 Speaker 2: some days where you'd be crazy to try. 1253 00:57:31,293 --> 00:57:34,133 Speaker 3: And alfresco dine. But I remember the word going around 1254 00:57:34,213 --> 00:57:34,373 Speaker 3: and I. 1255 00:57:34,413 --> 00:57:36,613 Speaker 2: First learned it. I saw it in the Attago Daily Times. 1256 00:57:36,613 --> 00:57:39,413 Speaker 2: I was like, a fresco, how fancy? A fresco isn't 1257 00:57:39,493 --> 00:57:43,013 Speaker 2: actually a term used in Italian. It's not actually alien. 1258 00:57:43,173 --> 00:57:45,933 Speaker 3: Because it just screams to me European alfresco dining. 1259 00:57:46,053 --> 00:57:48,733 Speaker 2: It does, and it's a it's a it's a word 1260 00:57:48,813 --> 00:57:53,173 Speaker 2: we've thrown together and out in English, which is which 1261 00:57:53,253 --> 00:57:55,133 Speaker 2: is saying cool, fresh air. 1262 00:57:55,613 --> 00:57:57,653 Speaker 4: But the Italians don't say that at all. They say 1263 00:57:57,973 --> 00:57:58,653 Speaker 4: a la perto. 1264 00:57:59,293 --> 00:58:02,853 Speaker 3: Well, that's even better, a liberto. 1265 00:58:02,653 --> 00:58:07,693 Speaker 2: So alfresco, which just means basically fresh air. That's that's 1266 00:58:07,733 --> 00:58:11,613 Speaker 2: the creation of English mine blowing. 1267 00:58:11,813 --> 00:58:13,933 Speaker 3: It's mind blowing, mind blowing. 1268 00:58:14,133 --> 00:58:14,413 Speaker 25: Pete. 1269 00:58:14,893 --> 00:58:18,973 Speaker 3: Firstly, our fresco versus the Italian version, what would you prefer? 1270 00:58:21,653 --> 00:58:27,773 Speaker 9: Yeah, I reckon, yeah, Italian, I suppose, but it's spoke 1271 00:58:27,853 --> 00:58:30,573 Speaker 9: to produce it. Then about it buy? You know it 1272 00:58:30,653 --> 00:58:34,013 Speaker 9: should be free, but I suppose you have to look 1273 00:58:34,013 --> 00:58:36,133 Speaker 9: at it a bit of this way too. The counts 1274 00:58:36,253 --> 00:58:39,693 Speaker 9: is looking for money. But as long as I think 1275 00:58:39,773 --> 00:58:41,973 Speaker 9: there should be maybe a little bit of a fee, 1276 00:58:42,093 --> 00:58:44,733 Speaker 9: because if you buy a business and you're you're going 1277 00:58:44,773 --> 00:58:47,453 Speaker 9: to pay per square meet asami, it doesn't want you 1278 00:58:47,493 --> 00:58:49,413 Speaker 9: tay per scream you buy a shop, or at least 1279 00:58:49,413 --> 00:58:51,973 Speaker 9: out a shop or whatever. You got to park on me. 1280 00:58:52,133 --> 00:58:53,973 Speaker 9: You and I got a paper parking to use the 1281 00:58:54,373 --> 00:58:58,613 Speaker 9: parking parks in the towns and stuff like that, so 1282 00:58:59,053 --> 00:59:00,893 Speaker 9: I don't hit them too hard in the pocket. So 1283 00:59:01,733 --> 00:59:03,933 Speaker 9: maybe a little bit of a fee, but don't be 1284 00:59:04,013 --> 00:59:06,493 Speaker 9: too greedy about it. So if I, if I, if 1285 00:59:06,533 --> 00:59:09,293 Speaker 9: I get into the restaurant business, and I saying okay, 1286 00:59:09,333 --> 00:59:12,693 Speaker 9: I've got a choice of maybe putting some chetes outside 1287 00:59:12,773 --> 00:59:15,933 Speaker 9: and things like that and a few tables, maybe two 1288 00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:19,493 Speaker 9: fifty or three hundred dollars for a year a reasonable fee. 1289 00:59:19,733 --> 00:59:21,613 Speaker 9: It's still a little bit of money for the council, 1290 00:59:21,933 --> 00:59:24,213 Speaker 9: but not over the top, so it's a happy medium 1291 00:59:25,413 --> 00:59:27,533 Speaker 9: get into and to a shot. Might want to extend. 1292 00:59:27,773 --> 00:59:29,693 Speaker 9: I'll use that boot pathod, but I do have to pay, 1293 00:59:29,773 --> 00:59:31,853 Speaker 9: you know, didn't even get into it for to us 1294 00:59:31,893 --> 00:59:33,693 Speaker 9: for two fifty three hundred just a little bit of 1295 00:59:33,693 --> 00:59:35,333 Speaker 9: a fece. It's a bit of money for the council. 1296 00:59:35,653 --> 00:59:37,973 Speaker 9: About going over the top. Not but along as it's 1297 00:59:38,093 --> 00:59:40,453 Speaker 9: health and safety, so people can still use the boot 1298 00:59:40,533 --> 00:59:43,453 Speaker 9: path for pedestrians and stuff like that, and the mobility 1299 00:59:43,493 --> 00:59:46,293 Speaker 9: stoodents can still use the heavy access of that footpath 1300 00:59:46,453 --> 00:59:47,373 Speaker 9: and that's pretty fair. 1301 00:59:47,653 --> 00:59:50,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Pete, would you say, though this is slightly 1302 00:59:51,213 --> 00:59:53,133 Speaker 2: on a wider sort of view of it, would you say, 1303 00:59:53,933 --> 00:59:58,773 Speaker 2: pert dining, I'll go back to Alfrisco al Frisco dining 1304 00:59:58,893 --> 01:00:03,053 Speaker 2: as a thing is a great thing for a city, 1305 01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:05,493 Speaker 2: and it's a great thing for community, and it's something 1306 01:00:05,533 --> 01:00:07,573 Speaker 2: that we want to encourage as long. 1307 01:00:07,533 --> 01:00:10,053 Speaker 4: As it's not getting the way of mobility scooters and such. 1308 01:00:11,573 --> 01:00:13,853 Speaker 9: I think so because you want to probably all know 1309 01:00:13,973 --> 01:00:16,773 Speaker 9: the councils of Kilda cities, Auckland. We will know exactly 1310 01:00:17,133 --> 01:00:19,693 Speaker 9: and how can we get these cities back to where 1311 01:00:19,733 --> 01:00:21,453 Speaker 9: they used to go. You scuff Aukland a lot of times. 1312 01:00:21,493 --> 01:00:23,573 Speaker 9: I don't go up there much now. You know, five 1313 01:00:23,613 --> 01:00:25,013 Speaker 9: beteen years in the World Cup and it was going 1314 01:00:25,053 --> 01:00:27,333 Speaker 9: two thousand and lift. It was thriving up there in 1315 01:00:27,413 --> 01:00:30,133 Speaker 9: al So you want to get it back to that again. 1316 01:00:30,413 --> 01:00:31,893 Speaker 9: At the end of the day, I will still reckon 1317 01:00:31,973 --> 01:00:34,933 Speaker 9: you certain center of the sea. That's your heart. 1318 01:00:35,013 --> 01:00:36,893 Speaker 13: It's like on your body. 1319 01:00:37,253 --> 01:00:38,413 Speaker 9: Start making out with your heart. 1320 01:00:38,253 --> 01:00:38,853 Speaker 7: To kill it. 1321 01:00:39,253 --> 01:00:41,213 Speaker 3: The more I think about it, they are the places 1322 01:00:41,293 --> 01:00:43,773 Speaker 3: where you can have our fresco dining in a city. 1323 01:00:43,813 --> 01:00:46,813 Speaker 3: In New Zealand. That is where you go to get 1324 01:00:46,893 --> 01:00:49,253 Speaker 3: some some great food or some hospital service, isn't it 1325 01:00:49,493 --> 01:00:53,213 Speaker 3: Trafalgar Street and Nelson just down by the waterfront in Queenstown. 1326 01:00:53,373 --> 01:00:56,493 Speaker 3: Probably the viaduct in Auckland. Maybe that's changed now. I 1327 01:00:56,573 --> 01:00:59,293 Speaker 3: mean it is you just zero went like most a flame. 1328 01:00:59,373 --> 01:01:01,453 Speaker 3: If there's outdoor dining, that is where the. 1329 01:01:01,453 --> 01:01:04,213 Speaker 2: People go, and it is an advertisement for your business 1330 01:01:04,733 --> 01:01:06,533 Speaker 2: if you if you're running a restaurant, if people are 1331 01:01:06,533 --> 01:01:09,093 Speaker 2: sitting out the front having a good time, then then 1332 01:01:09,413 --> 01:01:11,653 Speaker 2: that attracts more people to come and more business and 1333 01:01:11,733 --> 01:01:15,413 Speaker 2: more people to the area. If everything's behind closed doors, 1334 01:01:15,853 --> 01:01:18,613 Speaker 2: it's it's a bit like the Michael Hall Julius Jewelius situation. 1335 01:01:18,733 --> 01:01:20,613 Speaker 2: He worked out this a long time ago. If you 1336 01:01:20,733 --> 01:01:22,773 Speaker 2: open things up so people can see what's going on, 1337 01:01:23,693 --> 01:01:25,733 Speaker 2: then they not that he's selling jeweler out on the streets. 1338 01:01:25,773 --> 01:01:28,533 Speaker 2: It's probably not the perfect example, but what I mean 1339 01:01:28,653 --> 01:01:31,493 Speaker 2: is that you're advertising your business. The food's out and 1340 01:01:31,493 --> 01:01:34,893 Speaker 2: people are walking past. It creates a vibrant hospit and 1341 01:01:35,253 --> 01:01:38,253 Speaker 2: environment and what makes people want to come into these 1342 01:01:38,333 --> 01:01:39,493 Speaker 2: businesses and be part of them. 1343 01:01:39,653 --> 01:01:41,613 Speaker 3: I always go for the garden bar if i'm eying 1344 01:01:41,653 --> 01:01:44,053 Speaker 3: up a pub. If it's got a good garden bar, boom, 1345 01:01:44,253 --> 01:01:46,533 Speaker 3: that's me. If it doesn't have a good garden bar, I. 1346 01:01:47,693 --> 01:01:49,373 Speaker 4: Always feel like I've been downgraded if I have to 1347 01:01:49,413 --> 01:01:49,893 Speaker 4: go inside. 1348 01:01:50,613 --> 01:01:52,733 Speaker 2: You know, my favorite bar if I find if it's 1349 01:01:52,773 --> 01:01:56,253 Speaker 2: too busy, and there's a particular one that I go 1350 01:01:56,373 --> 01:01:58,093 Speaker 2: to if it's too busy outside in the garden. 1351 01:01:58,133 --> 01:02:00,413 Speaker 3: But ere, I'm like somewhere else. I don't want to 1352 01:02:00,453 --> 01:02:05,573 Speaker 3: go downgraded to the dark, dingy inside. Julian, how do 1353 01:02:05,573 --> 01:02:06,373 Speaker 3: you feel about this one? 1354 01:02:07,293 --> 01:02:09,573 Speaker 26: I'm good, let's think it stakes. I mean, what do 1355 01:02:09,853 --> 01:02:11,733 Speaker 26: you know you're paying your whether it is to meet 1356 01:02:11,893 --> 01:02:14,493 Speaker 26: what the council give you for that. Do they come 1357 01:02:14,533 --> 01:02:16,293 Speaker 26: along and clean it every day? I mean it's a 1358 01:02:16,373 --> 01:02:19,613 Speaker 26: two yak billboard. It's a twoy billboard there straight away. 1359 01:02:21,613 --> 01:02:21,853 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1360 01:02:23,173 --> 01:02:24,693 Speaker 26: I mean, you know, if you've got a business and 1361 01:02:24,773 --> 01:02:27,333 Speaker 26: a cafe, you you keep it spotlessly clean. Nobody's going 1362 01:02:27,373 --> 01:02:29,253 Speaker 26: to come out there if it's covered in chewing gum, 1363 01:02:29,333 --> 01:02:32,893 Speaker 26: all sorts of stuff. Yeah, if you're if you're in Europe, 1364 01:02:32,933 --> 01:02:34,933 Speaker 26: I mean, I've been lucky to travel a fair bit. 1365 01:02:35,373 --> 01:02:40,093 Speaker 26: You go to Italy, round Spain, Morocco, Turkey, you pay 1366 01:02:40,213 --> 01:02:43,533 Speaker 26: a different price for eating inside as opposed to outside. 1367 01:02:44,213 --> 01:02:46,693 Speaker 3: Right, so you pay a premium to eat Alfrisco. 1368 01:02:46,973 --> 01:02:49,453 Speaker 26: Well, look, I can't remember which way it works, but 1369 01:02:50,573 --> 01:02:52,293 Speaker 26: you know I would go in and get an expresso 1370 01:02:52,493 --> 01:02:55,413 Speaker 26: because there's no way you can get a decent cappuccino anywhere, 1371 01:02:55,493 --> 01:02:57,893 Speaker 26: because I used to put it down to the bressas, 1372 01:02:57,933 --> 01:03:01,093 Speaker 26: but it's actually to do with the milk. So try 1373 01:03:01,093 --> 01:03:03,773 Speaker 26: to get to get a decent cappuccino in Italy and 1374 01:03:03,933 --> 01:03:06,453 Speaker 26: it's just a waste of time. So I would have expresso, 1375 01:03:06,613 --> 01:03:09,773 Speaker 26: and sometimes I would pay two euro and sometimes I 1376 01:03:09,813 --> 01:03:12,453 Speaker 26: will pay one euro. And they would always ask are 1377 01:03:12,493 --> 01:03:14,653 Speaker 26: you you seating outside or inside? 1378 01:03:15,893 --> 01:03:16,093 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1379 01:03:16,253 --> 01:03:19,773 Speaker 2: And in some places, like in Paris, the all it's 1380 01:03:19,853 --> 01:03:22,893 Speaker 2: like a grand stand outside the cafes, so you're looking 1381 01:03:22,933 --> 01:03:24,493 Speaker 2: out so you can look at all the beautiful people 1382 01:03:24,493 --> 01:03:26,573 Speaker 2: when they walk past. And that's I'd pay for that. 1383 01:03:26,853 --> 01:03:29,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, for the view. You'd pay more to eat outside, 1384 01:03:29,813 --> 01:03:32,973 Speaker 3: is what you say. In Paris, there's a lot to 1385 01:03:33,053 --> 01:03:33,333 Speaker 3: look at. 1386 01:03:33,493 --> 01:03:33,693 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1387 01:03:33,853 --> 01:03:36,453 Speaker 3: Oh A one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number 1388 01:03:36,493 --> 01:03:40,493 Speaker 3: to call.

B Wave do you say yes? 1418 01:05:27,653 --> 01:05:27,813 Speaker 7: Yes? 1419 01:05:28,293 --> 01:05:29,253 Speaker 3: Talma? What do you say? 1420 01:05:30,893 --> 01:05:31,013 Speaker 19: Oh? 1421 01:05:31,133 --> 01:05:31,293 Speaker 7: Sure? 1422 01:05:31,333 --> 01:05:33,013 Speaker 21: The fellows here look for me. 1423 01:05:33,893 --> 01:05:35,213 Speaker 9: I don't think it's. 1424 01:05:36,693 --> 01:05:38,813 Speaker 21: It doesn't bother me what they're collecting the money for, 1425 01:05:39,013 --> 01:05:43,293 Speaker 21: whether it's revenue, whether it's compliance, whether it's health and safety. 1426 01:05:44,773 --> 01:05:48,213 Speaker 21: And it doesn't even bother me. With the charges that's 1427 01:05:48,973 --> 01:05:52,533 Speaker 21: put in place. I think six grand a year. You 1428 01:05:52,653 --> 01:05:55,293 Speaker 21: see it for next to ten twenty meters of four 1429 01:05:55,453 --> 01:05:58,533 Speaker 21: space for a business that cheap rents. I think the 1430 01:05:58,613 --> 01:06:00,813 Speaker 21: issue is the timing of when the port and when 1431 01:06:00,853 --> 01:06:04,813 Speaker 21: everyone's struggling. Like, if your business is running top notch 1432 01:06:05,733 --> 01:06:08,213 Speaker 21: and you're making a few hundred grand a year out 1433 01:06:08,213 --> 01:06:12,013 Speaker 21: of your business, that six thousand dollars isn't going to 1434 01:06:12,093 --> 01:06:15,133 Speaker 21: have a huge impact if you're struggling to break in 1435 01:06:15,293 --> 01:06:18,093 Speaker 21: and then you just don't have the money, that that's 1436 01:06:18,173 --> 01:06:21,693 Speaker 21: the issue. And I think I think it's that businesses 1437 01:06:21,973 --> 01:06:25,253 Speaker 21: should pay for the faith. I think you know that 1438 01:06:25,533 --> 01:06:28,013 Speaker 21: there is upkeep and stuff and wear and tear, and 1439 01:06:28,853 --> 01:06:33,533 Speaker 21: it is basically spares extra footage for their business. But 1440 01:06:33,693 --> 01:06:35,733 Speaker 21: it's just a manner of is this the time to 1441 01:06:35,813 --> 01:06:39,413 Speaker 21: do it? And obviously you don't have to be a 1442 01:06:39,573 --> 01:06:43,213 Speaker 21: rocket scientist to know that hospitality is struggling at the 1443 01:06:43,253 --> 01:06:44,133 Speaker 21: moment and now it's. 1444 01:06:44,013 --> 01:06:44,533 Speaker 25: Not the time. 1445 01:06:45,253 --> 01:06:49,933 Speaker 2: You're exactly on a fee on people and businesses at 1446 01:06:49,973 --> 01:06:52,053 Speaker 2: a time when we should be doing everything we can 1447 01:06:52,333 --> 01:06:54,813 Speaker 2: to help out and keep them in business through through 1448 01:06:54,933 --> 01:06:57,413 Speaker 2: through a tough time. Yeah, I think you're one hundred 1449 01:06:57,413 --> 01:06:59,933 Speaker 2: percent right there, Talma. That's that's that's the thing that's. 1450 01:06:59,813 --> 01:07:02,733 Speaker 3: Really got timing that hurts. So they could reintroduce at 1451 01:07:02,773 --> 01:07:05,373 Speaker 3: once the cost of living crisis is over and they 1452 01:07:05,413 --> 01:07:06,493 Speaker 3: are holding it off for a while. 1453 01:07:06,533 --> 01:07:08,133 Speaker 2: To be fair, they're not They're not they're not doing 1454 01:07:08,173 --> 01:07:10,933 Speaker 2: it straight away. I mean I would say as well 1455 01:07:10,973 --> 01:07:14,653 Speaker 2: that alfresco dining is part of what a city is. 1456 01:07:15,293 --> 01:07:16,933 Speaker 2: And in the same way that you have pavements for 1457 01:07:17,013 --> 01:07:20,133 Speaker 2: people to walk down a city and a city council 1458 01:07:20,733 --> 01:07:23,013 Speaker 2: create spaces for things to happen. And one of those 1459 01:07:23,093 --> 01:07:25,613 Speaker 2: things that you want to happen is for people to 1460 01:07:25,693 --> 01:07:29,773 Speaker 2: be dining outside so places feel vibrant and there's a 1461 01:07:29,813 --> 01:07:31,653 Speaker 2: sense of community out there and a sense of fun. 1462 01:07:31,973 --> 01:07:36,093 Speaker 3: But shouldn't there be specific spaces within a CBD or 1463 01:07:36,333 --> 01:07:39,653 Speaker 3: the central Party districts you called it earlier this week, 1464 01:07:39,813 --> 01:07:44,173 Speaker 3: the CPD. Shouldn't there be specific places where alfresco dining 1465 01:07:44,373 --> 01:07:47,213 Speaker 3: is the norm. What I think they're asking for in 1466 01:07:47,293 --> 01:07:50,493 Speaker 3: Titron run Mount Monganui is that every cafe and restaurant 1467 01:07:50,493 --> 01:07:52,453 Speaker 3: should be able to get a bit of footpath space. 1468 01:07:52,533 --> 01:07:54,573 Speaker 2: Well, I mean not every cafe can, because I mean 1469 01:07:54,573 --> 01:07:56,333 Speaker 2: if there's not enough room for people to get past, 1470 01:07:56,453 --> 01:07:59,293 Speaker 2: you know, you can't just ram a table right in 1471 01:07:59,333 --> 01:08:03,213 Speaker 2: the middle of a pavement and you've got elderly people 1472 01:08:03,333 --> 01:08:06,813 Speaker 2: taking their people in wheelchairs having to go out onto 1473 01:08:06,853 --> 01:08:07,413 Speaker 2: the road. 1474 01:08:07,293 --> 01:08:10,573 Speaker 3: To get past that would be ridiculous. Someone's going to try, George, 1475 01:08:10,613 --> 01:08:10,933 Speaker 3: how are you? 1476 01:08:11,533 --> 01:08:11,733 Speaker 19: Yep? 1477 01:08:12,013 --> 01:08:16,653 Speaker 27: Good? In Willington, some of the business the bars and 1478 01:08:16,733 --> 01:08:19,492 Speaker 27: pubs and so on, have got seats in ukor it 1479 01:08:19,572 --> 01:08:23,653 Speaker 27: el fresco outside, but they have boxed their areas in 1480 01:08:24,013 --> 01:08:29,093 Speaker 27: with surrounding, let's say, barriers, So you're actually sitting in 1481 01:08:29,173 --> 01:08:32,692 Speaker 27: the areas that are now exclusively able to be used 1482 01:08:32,692 --> 01:08:36,093 Speaker 27: by the patrons but nobody else, which means they are 1483 01:08:36,213 --> 01:08:40,213 Speaker 27: effectively leasing the land for their business use and then 1484 01:08:40,293 --> 01:08:43,053 Speaker 27: doing whatever they like on it. And I find that 1485 01:08:43,173 --> 01:08:47,533 Speaker 27: quite interesting. When I was in Paris the North recently 1486 01:08:48,612 --> 01:08:51,333 Speaker 27: on a weekend up there on a Sunday, there are 1487 01:08:51,372 --> 01:08:54,452 Speaker 27: so many cafes that had all the setting outside. But 1488 01:08:54,612 --> 01:08:57,013 Speaker 27: not only that, the Count's the friend I stayed with, 1489 01:08:58,093 --> 01:09:00,972 Speaker 27: she said that, you know, she works with the council 1490 01:09:01,213 --> 01:09:04,732 Speaker 27: and they are really supportive of the businesses and doing 1491 01:09:04,853 --> 01:09:08,892 Speaker 27: everything they can to encourage businesses to survive, work well 1492 01:09:09,213 --> 01:09:11,892 Speaker 27: on them. And not only that, the top of its 1493 01:09:11,933 --> 01:09:14,772 Speaker 27: Servit Avenue where it goes into the square used to 1494 01:09:14,853 --> 01:09:17,372 Speaker 27: be two lanes down and two lanes up. Well, they've 1495 01:09:17,412 --> 01:09:20,653 Speaker 27: taken the center lanes out and turn them into power 1496 01:09:20,772 --> 01:09:23,652 Speaker 27: or car parks, so there's more parking in the middle 1497 01:09:23,652 --> 01:09:26,333 Speaker 27: of town, right adjacent to where people want to go. 1498 01:09:26,973 --> 01:09:30,452 Speaker 27: They are really supporting people and their movements so that 1499 01:09:30,612 --> 01:09:34,333 Speaker 27: businesses can thrive, compared to Wellington, which is the opposite. 1500 01:09:34,973 --> 01:09:37,412 Speaker 27: Now my question with you is can you find out 1501 01:09:37,492 --> 01:09:41,612 Speaker 27: for Parmerston North do they charge Old Fresco or do 1502 01:09:41,732 --> 01:09:45,412 Speaker 27: they just give a permit to the actual businesses to open. 1503 01:09:45,812 --> 01:09:48,732 Speaker 27: My preference is not charged for the foot space, but 1504 01:09:48,933 --> 01:09:51,892 Speaker 27: to provide a permit that you pay for per year 1505 01:09:52,372 --> 01:09:54,612 Speaker 27: for the use of that end, because after all, it's 1506 01:09:54,652 --> 01:09:57,333 Speaker 27: only used for eight hours and it's closed up unless 1507 01:09:57,372 --> 01:09:59,053 Speaker 27: it's open during the night. The rest of the night 1508 01:09:59,253 --> 01:10:01,893 Speaker 27: is not being used, so you're only making use of 1509 01:10:01,973 --> 01:10:03,372 Speaker 27: that land part of the day. 1510 01:10:03,853 --> 01:10:06,973 Speaker 2: When you talk about the being cardened off maybe with 1511 01:10:07,973 --> 01:10:10,612 Speaker 2: a s of shrubberies around the side, I mean the 1512 01:10:10,652 --> 01:10:12,372 Speaker 2: positive part of that is because some people have been 1513 01:10:12,372 --> 01:10:14,412 Speaker 2: complaining that you have people standing around the tables and 1514 01:10:14,492 --> 01:10:17,053 Speaker 2: it's spewing out everywhere. I guess if you mark it off, 1515 01:10:17,572 --> 01:10:19,133 Speaker 2: then that is the area that's going to be used 1516 01:10:19,253 --> 01:10:21,173 Speaker 2: and there is space for people to get past. 1517 01:10:21,253 --> 01:10:22,973 Speaker 3: A nice poje of car where maybe I. 1518 01:10:22,973 --> 01:10:26,093 Speaker 19: Don't know if I'm still on or not, certainly are 1519 01:10:26,893 --> 01:10:31,093 Speaker 19: I had another question the parking meter boxes, since they 1520 01:10:31,253 --> 01:10:34,573 Speaker 19: are saying that it's a commercial use of a public footpath, 1521 01:10:35,013 --> 01:10:36,372 Speaker 19: therefore you have to charge. 1522 01:10:37,133 --> 01:10:40,293 Speaker 27: Would the council be charging themselves for where they put 1523 01:10:40,333 --> 01:10:44,333 Speaker 27: the parking meter read the units of that space there, 1524 01:10:44,412 --> 01:10:47,852 Speaker 27: because now that's exclusively used by the council, can't be 1525 01:10:48,013 --> 01:10:51,213 Speaker 27: walked through, and it's impeding traffic, And the same with 1526 01:10:51,333 --> 01:10:54,093 Speaker 27: any street signs and anything else. I was going to 1527 01:10:54,133 --> 01:10:56,093 Speaker 27: say about all the parking meters, but there's very few 1528 01:10:56,093 --> 01:10:59,532 Speaker 27: of those around there, so it's basically anything that is 1529 01:10:59,612 --> 01:11:03,212 Speaker 27: actually for commercial use on a footpath should be equally 1530 01:11:03,412 --> 01:11:04,572 Speaker 27: charged for the same thing. 1531 01:11:04,853 --> 01:11:07,732 Speaker 2: Well, well, I believe that parking charges are theft, and 1532 01:11:07,812 --> 01:11:10,652 Speaker 2: that we've all paid for the city anyway, So I 1533 01:11:10,772 --> 01:11:12,692 Speaker 2: understand parking fines of people are sitting around, But the 1534 01:11:12,732 --> 01:11:14,852 Speaker 2: fact that you charge the citizens of a city to 1535 01:11:14,933 --> 01:11:17,932 Speaker 2: park somewhere, I've never been able to get my head 1536 01:11:17,933 --> 01:11:19,173 Speaker 2: around how we let that happen. 1537 01:11:19,372 --> 01:11:21,492 Speaker 3: It's controversial, I mean, particularly up here. 1538 01:11:21,652 --> 01:11:24,652 Speaker 2: You you couldn't be very hard to wind it back now, 1539 01:11:25,093 --> 01:11:26,933 Speaker 2: but it's a pretty odd idea that we've paid for 1540 01:11:26,973 --> 01:11:28,452 Speaker 2: everything and then new charge us to sit there. I 1541 01:11:28,532 --> 01:11:30,253 Speaker 2: get there, if you I get if you find us 1542 01:11:30,293 --> 01:11:32,572 Speaker 2: for being there for too long. But I say parking 1543 01:11:32,853 --> 01:11:33,892 Speaker 2: fees are theft. 1544 01:11:34,093 --> 01:11:37,452 Speaker 3: You've opened up a candle worms there. It is twenty 1545 01:11:37,572 --> 01:11:37,972 Speaker 3: to three. 1546 01:11:39,692 --> 01:11:42,053 Speaker 1: Have a chat with the boys on eight hundred eighty 1547 01:11:43,333 --> 01:11:44,813 Speaker 1: Taylor Adams Afternoons. 1548 01:11:45,093 --> 01:11:49,012 Speaker 3: You for twenty twenty four news Talk said, be good afternoon. 1549 01:11:49,053 --> 01:11:50,972 Speaker 3: You're listening to Madame Tyler and we are talking about 1550 01:11:51,013 --> 01:11:54,572 Speaker 3: a fresco dining.

They're not even hiding any fact. 1660 01:16:53,732 --> 01:16:55,973 Speaker 2: I mean because sometimes they used to argue, and I 1661 01:16:56,133 --> 01:16:57,772 Speaker 2: know it's an age old discussion, but they used to 1662 01:16:57,893 --> 01:17:01,293 Speaker 2: argue that they had parking fees that charge you to 1663 01:17:01,333 --> 01:17:03,772 Speaker 2: park somewhere so people didn't park there all day and 1664 01:17:04,133 --> 01:17:06,173 Speaker 2: to keep traffic moving and so people could pull in 1665 01:17:06,253 --> 01:17:07,253 Speaker 2: in front of shops and not. 1666 01:17:07,492 --> 01:17:07,932 Speaker 3: But they don't. 1667 01:17:08,053 --> 01:17:11,372 Speaker 2: They've not the case anymore because they have it the 1668 01:17:11,492 --> 01:17:13,532 Speaker 2: parking fees and times when there's absolutely no one. 1669 01:17:13,532 --> 01:17:15,133 Speaker 3: Around we paid I agree with Craig. 1670 01:17:15,213 --> 01:17:18,293 Speaker 2: We paid for everything as the citizens, so we should 1671 01:17:18,293 --> 01:17:20,932 Speaker 2: be able to park there. And if it's about moving 1672 01:17:20,973 --> 01:17:24,093 Speaker 2: people on, then find people with the mean too long 1673 01:17:24,173 --> 01:17:26,293 Speaker 2: you can park here for three hours, that's fine, But 1674 01:17:26,532 --> 01:17:29,492 Speaker 2: if you're there over three hours, we find you because 1675 01:17:29,612 --> 01:17:32,173 Speaker 2: but then you're actually then then it is actually an 1676 01:17:32,452 --> 01:17:36,572 Speaker 2: administrative issue as opposed to a revenue generation issue. 1677 01:17:36,772 --> 01:17:38,012 Speaker 3: Yeah, a little story. 1678 01:17:37,812 --> 01:17:41,253 Speaker 18: About I think it would re ignite city centers as well. 1679 01:17:41,333 --> 01:17:44,052 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and you're not wrong. A little story about. 1680 01:17:44,093 --> 01:17:47,572 Speaker 3: I mean you're quite familiar with Nelson, yep, great city. Yes, 1681 01:17:47,772 --> 01:17:49,652 Speaker 3: so would have been would have been about fifteen years 1682 01:17:49,692 --> 01:17:52,612 Speaker 3: ago that Richmond is another you could call it a 1683 01:17:52,652 --> 01:17:55,412 Speaker 3: semi town that is about fifteen minutes outside of Nelson's. 1684 01:17:55,612 --> 01:17:57,452 Speaker 2: It's confusing when you're over Nelson. It's a lot of 1685 01:17:57,532 --> 01:17:58,812 Speaker 2: different towns in a straight line. 1686 01:17:58,933 --> 01:17:59,093 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1687 01:17:59,173 --> 01:18:02,692 Speaker 3: Yeah, so there about fifteen years ago, Richmond, as it 1688 01:18:02,812 --> 01:18:05,652 Speaker 3: was starting to build up its ownly Town center, offered 1689 01:18:05,692 --> 01:18:09,253 Speaker 3: free parking. Come out to Richmond, get free parking on Richmond. Yeah, 1690 01:18:09,372 --> 01:18:12,972 Speaker 3: got on Richmond. Nelson City never offered that. Now Nelson 1691 01:18:13,093 --> 01:18:15,892 Speaker 3: City is dying and Richmond, Richmond's lace. 1692 01:18:15,973 --> 01:18:19,852 Speaker 4: They go, well, I mean just basically, mall's offer free parking, right, 1693 01:18:20,053 --> 01:18:24,213 Speaker 4: and people go to malls. CBDs don't offer free parking, 1694 01:18:24,293 --> 01:18:26,053 Speaker 4: and that's another reason why people don't go in down there. 1695 01:18:26,053 --> 01:18:28,213 Speaker 2: In fact, they had to even offer parking. You end 1696 01:18:28,293 --> 01:18:31,333 Speaker 2: up in a Wilson's car park playing fifteen dollars an hour, a. 1697 01:18:31,333 --> 01:18:33,252 Speaker 3: Big one in christ which as well, one of the councilors, 1698 01:18:33,333 --> 01:18:35,973 Speaker 3: Jamie Goff, tried to get it running that it was 1699 01:18:36,013 --> 01:18:38,333 Speaker 3: free parking for an hour. It didn't get across the line. 1700 01:18:38,412 --> 01:18:39,652 Speaker 3: To me, that was a slam dunk. 1701 01:18:39,692 --> 01:18:42,293 Speaker 2: That would have brought people back into CBD as long 1702 01:18:42,372 --> 01:18:44,532 Speaker 2: as it takes to shop, yeah, or go to a 1703 01:18:44,612 --> 01:18:46,692 Speaker 2: movie or whatever business people want to do in town, 1704 01:18:46,812 --> 01:18:49,772 Speaker 2: because that's I believe one of the primary functions of 1705 01:18:49,812 --> 01:18:52,652 Speaker 2: a council is to get people to businesses and give 1706 01:18:52,692 --> 01:18:54,492 Speaker 2: the opportunity for businesses to make some money. 1707 01:18:55,173 --> 01:18:56,572 Speaker 3: Mary, what's your thoughts? 1708 01:18:56,652 --> 01:19:00,852 Speaker 28: Yeah, yes, nice to chat. 1709 01:19:01,133 --> 01:19:01,652 Speaker 6: Nice about it. 1710 01:19:02,452 --> 01:19:06,293 Speaker 28: It's a very difficult situation because, yes, you're right, it's 1711 01:19:06,372 --> 01:19:09,893 Speaker 28: lovely to have people in town and whatever incentives, but 1712 01:19:09,973 --> 01:19:14,452 Speaker 28: the ratepayers actually pay for that land and it's akin 1713 01:19:14,612 --> 01:19:19,372 Speaker 28: to a premises getting rent free use of that space, 1714 01:19:19,492 --> 01:19:22,612 Speaker 28: which is a difficult one for councils to navigate. 1715 01:19:22,692 --> 01:19:25,053 Speaker 4: I think you are we back on the we're back 1716 01:19:25,053 --> 01:19:26,372 Speaker 4: on the Frisco dining here. 1717 01:19:26,532 --> 01:19:29,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, But I usually agree with Mary is why I 1718 01:19:29,253 --> 01:19:32,772 Speaker 3: can understand for cafes and restaurants, hospitals hurting, no doubt 1719 01:19:32,812 --> 01:19:35,333 Speaker 3: about it, and I agree give them as much help 1720 01:19:35,412 --> 01:19:37,973 Speaker 3: as we can to get through these tough times. But 1721 01:19:38,053 --> 01:19:39,973 Speaker 3: where do we draw the line, Because Mary's right on 1722 01:19:40,093 --> 01:19:44,173 Speaker 3: a logical thinking about this situation. It is it's like 1723 01:19:44,253 --> 01:19:46,293 Speaker 3: giving them extra floor space, and they don't have to 1724 01:19:46,293 --> 01:19:48,532 Speaker 3: pay anything for that. So do we allow give them 1725 01:19:48,572 --> 01:19:51,172 Speaker 3: the extra floor space? Because what do we want from cities? 1726 01:19:51,213 --> 01:19:53,692 Speaker 2: We want people out on the streets having a good time. 1727 01:19:53,772 --> 01:19:56,812 Speaker 2: We want to have vibrant communities where people get together, 1728 01:19:57,213 --> 01:19:59,893 Speaker 2: and I think that's what councils are supposed to facilitate. 1729 01:20:00,253 --> 01:20:01,452 Speaker 3: And businesses open up. 1730 01:20:01,532 --> 01:20:05,892 Speaker 2: They have people on the street dining, there's laughter, there's 1731 01:20:06,213 --> 01:20:08,892 Speaker 2: there's good, good share in the community. I think that's 1732 01:20:08,933 --> 01:20:12,452 Speaker 2: a very very important situation. I think the vibe of 1733 01:20:12,532 --> 01:20:15,412 Speaker 2: a city is so important, and a Frisco dining is 1734 01:20:15,572 --> 01:20:16,732 Speaker 2: so good for the vibe. 1735 01:20:16,853 --> 01:20:17,892 Speaker 3: Tyler, but what. 1736 01:20:17,973 --> 01:20:18,333 Speaker 9: About it. 1737 01:20:20,333 --> 01:20:23,412 Speaker 28: They do clatter the patients so and the viaducts became 1738 01:20:23,492 --> 01:20:27,133 Speaker 28: a real problem. When these premises started encroaching further and 1739 01:20:27,213 --> 01:20:27,692 Speaker 28: became a. 1740 01:20:27,732 --> 01:20:31,293 Speaker 3: Really good time Mary became a fantastically. 1741 01:20:30,732 --> 01:20:33,973 Speaker 28: Good time sadly I'm the party police or I was 1742 01:20:34,053 --> 01:20:37,692 Speaker 28: the part a big banned from more pubs than I can. 1743 01:20:37,652 --> 01:20:38,213 Speaker 26: Shake the steps. 1744 01:20:38,652 --> 01:20:42,012 Speaker 3: Oh you sound like a good time, Mary, Yeah, good time, 1745 01:20:43,133 --> 01:20:44,932 Speaker 3: very good. No, but just to pick up on my thought, 1746 01:20:44,973 --> 01:20:47,772 Speaker 3: what them as If it's the local Bunnings, for example, 1747 01:20:47,812 --> 01:20:50,732 Speaker 3: and they need more floor space to advertise the latest 1748 01:20:50,772 --> 01:20:52,852 Speaker 3: bathway that they've got, is that okay for them to 1749 01:20:52,933 --> 01:20:55,092 Speaker 3: just chuck a few you know? Well, I'm not showers 1750 01:20:55,133 --> 01:20:56,372 Speaker 3: on the foot park. I don't think a shower on 1751 01:20:56,412 --> 01:21:01,013 Speaker 3: the footpath increases the vibe of the city. Isn't the 1752 01:21:01,173 --> 01:21:03,812 Speaker 3: vibrancy of the community. But I wouldn't nickel nickel and 1753 01:21:03,893 --> 01:21:06,293 Speaker 3: dimond them on having a sausages lad on the street?

And I thought you were the 1817 01:24:06,253 --> 01:24:07,933 Speaker 2: perfect person to come and talk about because you were 1818 01:24:07,973 --> 01:24:09,812 Speaker 2: there from the I mean, I'm one of the authors 1819 01:24:09,853 --> 01:24:11,732 Speaker 2: of the book, but you were there from the start. 1820 01:24:11,812 --> 01:24:15,172 Speaker 2: You were the ACC beforehand. What is the Alternative Commentary Collective? 1821 01:24:15,293 --> 01:24:18,732 Speaker 31: Well, the Alternative Commentary Collective is a group of people 1822 01:24:19,532 --> 01:24:23,213 Speaker 31: who were brought together to commentate sports. 1823 01:24:24,093 --> 01:24:25,932 Speaker 3: And I guess when it first started. 1824 01:24:26,013 --> 01:24:28,652 Speaker 31: The Alternative Commentary Collective also known as the ACC not 1825 01:24:28,772 --> 01:24:32,053 Speaker 31: to be confused with the Accident Compensation Corporation, although it 1826 01:24:32,133 --> 01:24:37,013 Speaker 31: often is. It often is, particularly around emails. But they 1827 01:24:37,053 --> 01:24:40,612 Speaker 31: were a group of people brought together to provide an 1828 01:24:40,692 --> 01:24:44,532 Speaker 31: alternative commentary. So what we were listening to at the 1829 01:24:44,572 --> 01:24:50,093 Speaker 31: time was generally cricket commentary radio commentary, and we were 1830 01:24:50,133 --> 01:24:51,572 Speaker 31: listening to a lot of it, and we thought, you 1831 01:24:51,652 --> 01:24:53,932 Speaker 31: know what, this is perfect. This is perfect to get 1832 01:24:53,973 --> 01:24:59,013 Speaker 31: together to talk a little bit of rubbish between the commentary. 1833 01:24:59,492 --> 01:25:02,133 Speaker 31: It's the perfect vehicle, you've got essentially six hours a 1834 01:25:02,253 --> 01:25:06,133 Speaker 31: day to talk, and so yeah, we assembled a rag 1835 01:25:06,173 --> 01:25:07,293 Speaker 31: tea bunch of people to do it. 1836 01:25:07,492 --> 01:25:09,093 Speaker 2: And it's got to the point point where we've been 1837 01:25:09,133 --> 01:25:12,893 Speaker 2: going so long that we've got a hardcovered box about it. 1838 01:25:13,372 --> 01:25:18,532 Speaker 2: Round written by myself and Mike Lane and Dylan Clader, 1839 01:25:18,933 --> 01:25:19,492 Speaker 2: just on that it. 1840 01:25:19,532 --> 01:25:22,572 Speaker 3: Has become a behemoth. The ACC commentary, Did you think 1841 01:25:22,612 --> 01:25:24,652 Speaker 3: in those early days it was going to get as 1842 01:25:24,732 --> 01:25:28,253 Speaker 3: big as it's become? Certainly not, certainly not. 1843 01:25:29,372 --> 01:25:32,612 Speaker 31: But interestingly Matt was talking about that first ever broadcast 1844 01:25:32,612 --> 01:25:34,572 Speaker 31: where we started with zero listeners. We're in a caravan 1845 01:25:34,732 --> 01:25:38,612 Speaker 31: in Napier sitting there commentating New Zealand playing India. And 1846 01:25:39,532 --> 01:25:42,293 Speaker 31: after the first broadcast, because it's digital, you can actually 1847 01:25:42,333 --> 01:25:46,333 Speaker 31: get the actual listenership numbers back right, and the first 1848 01:25:46,452 --> 01:25:48,492 Speaker 31: after the first one, I believe they're about two and 1849 01:25:48,572 --> 01:25:50,093 Speaker 31: a half thousand listeners or something. 1850 01:25:50,213 --> 01:25:50,532 Speaker 4: That's right. 1851 01:25:50,933 --> 01:25:51,492 Speaker 3: Who tuned in? 1852 01:25:51,612 --> 01:25:55,173 Speaker 4: I was like, oh wow, yeah, okay, that's interesting because really, 1853 01:25:55,253 --> 01:25:56,933 Speaker 4: to be honest, we were using the caravan as a 1854 01:25:56,973 --> 01:26:00,413 Speaker 4: trojan horse to get beers into cricket. 1855 01:26:00,173 --> 01:26:02,333 Speaker 3: Grounds so we could sit and drink them with our mates. 1856 01:26:02,492 --> 01:26:05,293 Speaker 31: Yeah, we were already watching the game together, and so 1857 01:26:05,372 --> 01:26:06,812 Speaker 31: we thought we might as well watch the game and 1858 01:26:06,933 --> 01:26:09,253 Speaker 31: broadcast at the same time and go along to all 1859 01:26:09,253 --> 01:26:11,452 Speaker 31: the games. This way, the company will pay for us 1860 01:26:11,452 --> 01:26:13,893 Speaker 31: to turn up to the games and we can potentially 1861 01:26:14,053 --> 01:26:15,732 Speaker 31: bring our own beers in because the beers at the 1862 01:26:15,772 --> 01:26:18,012 Speaker 31: time that they were offering in the stadium weren't very tasty. 1863 01:26:18,652 --> 01:26:21,852 Speaker 31: So we succeeded there. But then we thought, are people 1864 01:26:21,933 --> 01:26:23,972 Speaker 31: going to listen? I mean, did we care if people listen? 1865 01:26:24,133 --> 01:26:26,652 Speaker 3: Probably not. Initially I didn't. It was never on my 1866 01:26:26,772 --> 01:26:28,333 Speaker 3: radar whether that was going to happen or note. 1867 01:26:29,333 --> 01:26:30,972 Speaker 31: So we had two and a half thousand people listened 1868 01:26:30,973 --> 01:26:32,652 Speaker 31: to the first broadcast and we were like, oh wow, okay, 1869 01:26:32,692 --> 01:26:35,053 Speaker 31: there's people are actually interested in this. And then the 1870 01:26:35,133 --> 01:26:37,932 Speaker 31: next broadcast, because it's a series, there were like four 1871 01:26:37,973 --> 01:26:39,732 Speaker 31: and a half thousand, and then the next one there 1872 01:26:39,732 --> 01:26:40,812 Speaker 31: were like six, then. 1873 01:26:40,732 --> 01:26:43,452 Speaker 3: There were eight, there were ten, there was like twenty forty. 1874 01:26:43,732 --> 01:26:45,372 Speaker 4: It started to grow with every game. 1875 01:26:45,532 --> 01:26:48,253 Speaker 3: You must have ruffled a few feathers in the cricket 1876 01:26:48,372 --> 01:26:51,372 Speaker 3: commentary said a tradition of New Zealand. I mean, there's 1877 01:26:51,372 --> 01:26:52,933 Speaker 3: one name that comes to mind. I think was a 1878 01:26:52,973 --> 01:26:55,973 Speaker 3: bit grumpy with you guys, said Brian Waddle, Did you 1879 01:26:56,013 --> 01:26:59,053 Speaker 3: ever make up with Watts? No, we attempted to a lot. 1880 01:27:00,532 --> 01:27:03,253 Speaker 2: We offered more olive branches to the great Brian Waddle 1881 01:27:03,893 --> 01:27:09,013 Speaker 2: than the entire olive growing district of New Zealand. He 1882 01:27:09,133 --> 01:27:11,213 Speaker 2: wasn't having a bar of it. He took the alternative 1883 01:27:11,253 --> 01:27:13,492 Speaker 2: line as an insult. He was like, why isn't there 1884 01:27:13,652 --> 01:27:15,892 Speaker 2: just one commentary? But that was the point we always made. 1885 01:27:16,053 --> 01:27:18,532 Speaker 2: You can listen to that commentary, but here's another option. 1886 01:27:18,853 --> 01:27:21,052 Speaker 2: We can all exist. And the success of the ACC 1887 01:27:21,532 --> 01:27:24,772 Speaker 2: I believe if I'm gonna pump our own tires brought 1888 01:27:24,893 --> 01:27:26,732 Speaker 2: in a lot of people to cricket that had never 1889 01:27:26,772 --> 01:27:29,013 Speaker 2: listened to cricket before. Yeah, and that's the thing we 1890 01:27:29,133 --> 01:27:31,572 Speaker 2: hear most is that people just wanted a different way 1891 01:27:31,572 --> 01:27:32,253 Speaker 2: to listen to cricket. 1892 01:27:32,372 --> 01:27:34,693 Speaker 3: And it's been hugely successful. 1893 01:27:34,853 --> 01:27:37,013 Speaker 2: And thank you Jeremy for inviting me to be part 1894 01:27:37,013 --> 01:27:38,452 Speaker 2: of the team way back and then, because it's been 1895 01:27:38,772 --> 01:27:41,852 Speaker 2: one of the most fun things you could possibly be 1896 01:27:41,973 --> 01:27:44,213 Speaker 2: involved in. And if I hadn't been invited, I would 1897 01:27:44,213 --> 01:27:47,012 Speaker 2: have sat back and with such raging fomo. 1898 01:27:47,213 --> 01:27:49,692 Speaker 31: Well, that was the reason why we included you. Because 1899 01:27:49,732 --> 01:27:53,572 Speaker 31: we realized if you did it, we'd be You'd be 1900 01:27:53,692 --> 01:27:56,412 Speaker 31: on your keyboard sending us messages. Though I was certainly 1901 01:27:56,492 --> 01:27:59,572 Speaker 31: the least knowledgeable of cricket in the crew. Well, part 1902 01:27:59,612 --> 01:28:01,812 Speaker 31: of it was definitely when we started we wanted to 1903 01:28:01,893 --> 01:28:04,013 Speaker 31: do something that was weird, and it was it was 1904 01:28:04,053 --> 01:28:05,852 Speaker 31: the perfect vehicle for doing it, as you know, you 1905 01:28:05,933 --> 01:28:07,972 Speaker 31: got so much time to do it, but also as 1906 01:28:08,053 --> 01:28:10,253 Speaker 31: time we worked out that, oh, there's actually a great 1907 01:28:10,333 --> 01:28:13,852 Speaker 31: chemistry between us and the stories that we used to tell. 1908 01:28:14,732 --> 01:28:15,173 Speaker 30: You learned. 1909 01:28:15,253 --> 01:28:18,012 Speaker 31: You really learned a lot about your fellow commentators, sometimes 1910 01:28:18,093 --> 01:28:21,172 Speaker 31: too much, yeah, yeah, And in terms of the outside 1911 01:28:21,213 --> 01:28:23,812 Speaker 31: and how other people felt about us. I think in 1912 01:28:23,973 --> 01:28:26,612 Speaker 31: terms of Brian model, I think the thing that wound 1913 01:28:26,652 --> 01:28:28,093 Speaker 31: him up the most was the fact that we all 1914 01:28:28,253 --> 01:28:29,213 Speaker 31: had had suits. 1915 01:28:29,612 --> 01:28:32,053 Speaker 3: We looked like a commentary team. He didn't know that 1916 01:28:32,093 --> 01:28:34,692 Speaker 3: we'd bought those seats and matching suits ourselves. We had 1917 01:28:34,732 --> 01:28:40,572 Speaker 3: to go to the Helenstein's dollars.

So a fascinating post on Reader 1972 01:31:08,652 --> 01:31:11,013 Speaker 3: and it's a subreddit as they call it, or a 1973 01:31:11,133 --> 01:31:14,053 Speaker 3: page on Reddit called am I the a Hole? So? 1974 01:31:14,133 --> 01:31:17,412 Speaker 3: It was a man who was asked for advice after 1975 01:31:17,532 --> 01:31:20,692 Speaker 3: his girlfriend forbade him from taking a trip to Greece 1976 01:31:21,133 --> 01:31:24,852 Speaker 3: with his guy friends, the lads Trip. He said, I quote, 1977 01:31:25,333 --> 01:31:28,772 Speaker 3: she just said I was disrespecting the relationship by going 1978 01:31:28,853 --> 01:31:30,652 Speaker 3: on the lad's trip, and that I should say no 1979 01:31:30,812 --> 01:31:33,612 Speaker 3: to my friends, said the young man, who, as I said, 1980 01:31:33,893 --> 01:31:36,213 Speaker 3: shared his story on Reddit. He explained that a group 1981 01:31:36,253 --> 01:31:38,692 Speaker 3: of friends from university planned to take a trip abroad 1982 01:31:38,933 --> 01:31:42,173 Speaker 3: to celebrate graduating in twenty twenty, but the pandemic put 1983 01:31:42,213 --> 01:31:44,652 Speaker 3: a trip on the hold. Once the world got back 1984 01:31:45,093 --> 01:31:47,532 Speaker 3: to normality, he wrote, we all had jobs and it 1985 01:31:47,612 --> 01:31:50,372 Speaker 3: was a nightmare to align our free time. Then, earlier 1986 01:31:50,412 --> 01:31:53,173 Speaker 3: this year, a friend suggested taking the long awaited trip 1987 01:31:53,492 --> 01:31:56,293 Speaker 3: during the upcoming europe summer. His uncle had a villa 1988 01:31:56,612 --> 01:31:58,692 Speaker 3: nice and Greece that they could use for seven to 1989 01:31:58,772 --> 01:32:03,293 Speaker 3: ten days. His girlfriend, however, wasn't quite as thrilled. He 1990 01:32:03,372 --> 01:32:06,213 Speaker 3: proposed going somewhere together at the start or end of 1991 01:32:06,253 --> 01:32:09,173 Speaker 3: summer for five nights, but she refused. Is she wanted 1992 01:32:09,173 --> 01:32:11,772 Speaker 3: to go away for longer in the middle of summer. 1993 01:32:12,013 --> 01:32:14,333 Speaker 3: So this is a curly one for relationships. 1994 01:32:14,692 --> 01:32:17,372 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we want to know should you support your 1995 01:32:17,452 --> 01:32:20,492 Speaker 2: partners going away and having a good time with their 1996 01:32:20,492 --> 01:32:22,692 Speaker 2: friends or shut them down. 1997 01:32:23,973 --> 01:32:27,333 Speaker 3: Or worse, arguably worse, insist on going along. 1998 01:32:27,412 --> 01:32:31,013 Speaker 2: I guess it's a way to question around relationships and 1999 01:32:31,133 --> 01:32:35,212 Speaker 2: as a healthy relationship one where you allow your partner 2000 01:32:35,452 --> 01:32:39,293 Speaker 2: to have relationships outside your relationship. I'm not talking about 2001 01:32:39,412 --> 01:32:41,173 Speaker 2: sexual relationships, because that's. 2002 01:32:41,053 --> 01:32:43,012 Speaker 3: A different type of that's a different topic. 2003 01:32:43,452 --> 01:32:47,812 Speaker 2: I'm talking about mates and friends and experiences that don't 2004 01:32:48,213 --> 01:32:48,732 Speaker 2: involve you. 2005 01:32:49,093 --> 01:32:53,372 Speaker 3: To me, absolutely critical, super healthy for a relationship to 2006 01:32:53,492 --> 01:32:56,893 Speaker 3: have not so much separate groups, but the ability to 2007 01:32:56,973 --> 01:32:59,852 Speaker 3: go away on what might be a boys' trip, but 2008 01:33:00,013 --> 01:33:02,213 Speaker 3: also the reverse to go away on the girls trip 2009 01:33:02,372 --> 01:33:04,972 Speaker 3: and not feel any guilt about that. That is something 2010 01:33:05,053 --> 01:33:06,652 Speaker 3: I think is hugely important to. 2011 01:33:06,812 --> 01:33:09,852 Speaker 2: So if your lovely partner to you and said I'm 2012 01:33:10,253 --> 01:33:15,053 Speaker 2: going away for two weeks with my four best buddies yep, 2013 01:33:15,293 --> 01:33:19,372 Speaker 2: to the Goldie yep, and you said, can I come 2014 01:33:19,772 --> 01:33:21,572 Speaker 2: and she said, I'd rather you did it. 2015 01:33:21,973 --> 01:33:22,412 Speaker 4: How would you. 2016 01:33:22,412 --> 01:33:25,293 Speaker 3: Feel I'd be absolutely okay with that.

Yeah, And they said, no, I think that's 2031 01:34:03,053 --> 01:34:05,492 Speaker 2: a red flag in a relationship if they if they 2032 01:34:05,612 --> 01:34:06,972 Speaker 2: want to hold onto you that tightly. 2033 01:34:07,333 --> 01:34:10,492 Speaker 3: How often would you go away with Tracy versus just 2034 01:34:10,572 --> 01:34:12,532 Speaker 3: going away with the boys.

Absolutely nothing wrong with them. When 2128 01:38:14,853 --> 01:38:17,572 Speaker 32: I was married and I'm widowed, I'm not divorced or anything. 2129 01:38:18,452 --> 01:38:20,892 Speaker 32: When I was married, my husband and I we would 2130 01:38:21,253 --> 01:38:25,173 Speaker 32: do things together. We always planning things together, So planning 2131 01:38:25,253 --> 01:38:29,173 Speaker 32: things together was our default position. But if something came up, 2132 01:38:29,532 --> 01:38:32,093 Speaker 32: like a girl's trip away or a guy's weekend away 2133 01:38:32,412 --> 01:38:35,892 Speaker 32: or whatever, we would do those on our own You've 2134 01:38:35,933 --> 01:38:38,372 Speaker 32: got to have your own interests as well. You can't 2135 01:38:39,013 --> 01:38:42,852 Speaker 32: be just doing everything as a unit. You've got to 2136 01:38:42,893 --> 01:38:44,852 Speaker 32: be a part. And are you always used to look 2137 01:38:44,893 --> 01:38:46,652 Speaker 32: at it? I used to love it when he went 2138 01:38:46,732 --> 01:38:51,213 Speaker 32: away because he was away having fun. And I if 2139 01:38:51,293 --> 01:38:54,333 Speaker 32: you love someone, why would you ever stop them having fun? 2140 01:38:55,013 --> 01:38:57,692 Speaker 32: Loving them is part of making their lives happy. 2141 01:38:58,213 --> 01:39:00,452 Speaker 2: Do you think it's an insecurity thing if you don't 2142 01:39:00,492 --> 01:39:02,812 Speaker 2: want your partner to go away on a boys or 2143 01:39:02,853 --> 01:39:06,293 Speaker 2: a girl's trip. Do you think it's it's you think 2144 01:39:06,372 --> 01:39:09,133 Speaker 2: that maybe they'll meet another girl or boy on that 2145 01:39:09,293 --> 01:39:11,492 Speaker 2: boy's trip and not come back. 2146 01:39:12,412 --> 01:39:15,973 Speaker 32: Yeah, the problem is all from that scenario that you 2147 01:39:16,093 --> 01:39:16,892 Speaker 32: read out at the start. 2148 01:39:16,973 --> 01:39:19,253 Speaker 20: It was it was all a woman's problem the guy, 2149 01:39:19,333 --> 01:39:20,333 Speaker 20: you know, am I the ahole? 2150 01:39:20,532 --> 01:39:25,293 Speaker 32: No, he's not, absolutely not. You know, It's a lot 2151 01:39:25,333 --> 01:39:30,293 Speaker 32: of it is someone else's insecurity. They feel threatened in 2152 01:39:30,372 --> 01:39:34,213 Speaker 32: the relationship for whatever reason, whether whether there is something 2153 01:39:34,253 --> 01:39:37,972 Speaker 32: to justify or it's just themselves. There is a deeper 2154 01:39:38,053 --> 01:39:41,053 Speaker 32: problem than just saying no to someone going away on 2155 01:39:41,133 --> 01:39:41,652 Speaker 32: a holiday. 2156 01:39:42,133 --> 01:39:45,412 Speaker 3: And so if you had some pretty decent girls trips. 2157 01:39:45,213 --> 01:39:48,572 Speaker 32: In your time, Oh, I'm a lot younger. Gosh, I'm 2158 01:39:48,612 --> 01:39:51,973 Speaker 32: past it now, but I was younger absolutely. You know, 2159 01:39:52,093 --> 01:39:56,173 Speaker 32: I went away to the Cook Islands with friends on 2160 01:39:56,492 --> 01:39:59,012 Speaker 32: a girl's week. I've been to Hawaii on a girl's week. 2161 01:39:59,333 --> 01:40:02,333 Speaker 32: I've done a lot of things in Australia several times 2162 01:40:02,893 --> 01:40:06,132 Speaker 32: just for girls. And quite thinkly, you know, my husband 2163 01:40:06,213 --> 01:40:09,213 Speaker 32: used to say he couldn't think of anything worse then 2164 01:40:09,532 --> 01:40:12,892 Speaker 32: going away doing what we wanted to do, not lie 2165 01:40:12,973 --> 01:40:14,293 Speaker 32: on the beach and eat. 2166 01:40:15,772 --> 01:40:19,692 Speaker 3: Maybe drinking. Yeah, part of me actually thinks, and I'll 2167 01:40:19,732 --> 01:40:21,452 Speaker 3: get a little bit deep here, but I actually think 2168 01:40:21,532 --> 01:40:25,173 Speaker 3: it's probably more important for fellers to have those boys 2169 01:40:25,253 --> 01:40:27,452 Speaker 3: weekends than for the ladies. And the reason I say 2170 01:40:27,532 --> 01:40:31,052 Speaker 3: that it's yes yet sexist, but as guys get older, 2171 01:40:31,173 --> 01:40:33,812 Speaker 3: and we've seen it gets a lot harder to maintain 2172 01:40:33,893 --> 01:40:37,372 Speaker 3: those friendships for fellers and to make new friends. It's 2173 01:40:37,452 --> 01:40:38,133 Speaker 3: just the facts, right. 2174 01:40:38,253 --> 01:40:40,733 Speaker 2: It seems that females are better at holding their friendships 2175 01:40:40,772 --> 01:40:43,532 Speaker 2: and keeping them to a deeper level. And you know, 2176 01:40:43,732 --> 01:40:46,372 Speaker 2: the stats play out that men disassociate as they get 2177 01:40:46,412 --> 01:40:48,892 Speaker 2: older and then they rely. 2178 01:40:48,853 --> 01:40:50,572 Speaker 3: On their partners to organize a lot of stuff. So 2179 01:40:50,652 --> 01:40:50,972 Speaker 3: it's good. 2180 01:40:51,013 --> 01:40:52,692 Speaker 2: It's good for the male mental health, and that's a 2181 01:40:52,732 --> 01:40:54,572 Speaker 2: good thing to say to your partner as well. This 2182 01:40:54,933 --> 01:40:59,612 Speaker 2: is a mental health weekend. It's not golf, it's not partying, 2183 01:40:59,893 --> 01:41:03,812 Speaker 2: it's not all about the drinking. This is about mental health. 2184 01:41:03,973 --> 01:41:05,572 Speaker 3: That's a great line. I think you've cracked this one. 2185 01:41:05,853 --> 01:41:09,293 Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty to hear you are from 2186 01:41:09,372 --> 01:41:11,333 Speaker 3: you on this one. Was this guy the jerk in 2187 01:41:11,412 --> 01:41:14,133 Speaker 3: this situation?

If a book club ends up 2318 01:46:48,652 --> 01:46:50,333 Speaker 2: in a nightclub, it was never a book club. 2319 01:46:51,612 --> 01:46:54,293 Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah, and I'm sure plenty of that happens as well. 2320 01:46:54,372 --> 01:46:56,932 Speaker 25: What we do is we're actually doing quite good mates 2321 01:46:56,973 --> 01:47:00,093 Speaker 25: with all the fellas or the plus ones within that 2322 01:47:00,652 --> 01:47:03,652 Speaker 25: group of mates. So we've done our fishure of trips 2323 01:47:03,692 --> 01:47:06,052 Speaker 25: and what have you. Is a is a group of guys. 2324 01:47:06,893 --> 01:47:09,412 Speaker 25: I think it's actually quite healthy. We when all the 2325 01:47:09,492 --> 01:47:11,372 Speaker 25: couples tend to know each other, you know, because then 2326 01:47:11,412 --> 01:47:12,772 Speaker 25: you get a bit of the girls go off and 2327 01:47:12,853 --> 01:47:14,812 Speaker 25: do their fun, the guys off their fun. But you 2328 01:47:14,933 --> 01:47:17,972 Speaker 25: can inevitably get events I don't know, willing to cut 2329 01:47:18,053 --> 01:47:20,452 Speaker 25: races where everyone comes together. I mean, it's good. So 2330 01:47:20,492 --> 01:47:24,412 Speaker 25: it's not certainly not a boys trip where the girls 2331 01:47:24,452 --> 01:47:26,932 Speaker 25: don't know who they are or vice versa, and it's 2332 01:47:27,133 --> 01:47:29,053 Speaker 25: it's quite a you know, we're in the stage of 2333 01:47:29,093 --> 01:47:31,253 Speaker 25: bringing up young family and I'm sure you guys can 2334 01:47:31,293 --> 01:47:33,612 Speaker 25: comment on listen, the past is sctually quite healthy. A 2335 01:47:33,692 --> 01:47:37,053 Speaker 25: little bit of time away from for either partner. But 2336 01:47:37,173 --> 01:47:39,052 Speaker 25: don't get me wrong, it seems to be a common 2337 01:47:39,053 --> 01:47:41,412 Speaker 25: occurrence that when when we go around trip to our 2338 01:47:41,452 --> 01:47:46,092 Speaker 25: onnes are a bit more larger and expensive, consistent monthly 2339 01:47:46,173 --> 01:47:46,772 Speaker 25: catch ups that the. 2340 01:47:46,812 --> 01:47:47,372 Speaker 8: Girls did have. 2341 01:47:47,893 --> 01:47:50,732 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, the thing with you know, and male mental 2342 01:47:50,772 --> 01:47:52,932 Speaker 2: health is an issue in this country, and so it's 2343 01:47:52,973 --> 01:47:53,732 Speaker 2: female mental health. 2344 01:47:53,812 --> 01:47:54,812 Speaker 4: But as we were saying. 2345 01:47:54,652 --> 01:47:58,372 Speaker 2: Before, men can tend to not do the work it 2346 01:47:58,492 --> 01:48:02,133 Speaker 2: takes to keep friendships going. Yeah, and there's a term 2347 01:48:02,293 --> 01:48:04,133 Speaker 2: that people are using our call being the shirpa, and 2348 01:48:04,213 --> 01:48:07,093 Speaker 2: it's being that the guy in your friend group that 2349 01:48:07,333 --> 01:48:10,333 Speaker 2: organizes things to get people together, that gold does those 2350 01:48:10,732 --> 01:48:13,412 Speaker 2: because the stats on men dying alone and the stats 2351 01:48:14,093 --> 01:48:16,293 Speaker 2: on men having no one to reach out to, no 2352 01:48:16,372 --> 01:48:19,333 Speaker 2: one close outside of their relationship and if their relationship ends, 2353 01:48:19,532 --> 01:48:22,732 Speaker 2: having no one at all outside of work, and especially 2354 01:48:22,772 --> 01:48:25,333 Speaker 2: going into retirement, A lot of men men end up 2355 01:48:25,372 --> 01:48:28,093 Speaker 2: on their own, and that's because the work hasn't been 2356 01:48:28,213 --> 01:48:31,932 Speaker 2: done to get together. And as much as a boys 2357 01:48:31,933 --> 01:48:35,292 Speaker 2: strip may just be an absolute rack up, it's stories. 2358 01:48:35,412 --> 01:48:38,572 Speaker 2: It's keeping friends together. And I think it's a very 2359 01:48:38,692 --> 01:48:40,732 Speaker 2: very important part of your life, your relationship, and you 2360 01:48:40,772 --> 01:48:42,772 Speaker 2: want to be a great partner, but you also want 2361 01:48:42,772 --> 01:48:44,213 Speaker 2: to have a great group of friends, and you want 2362 01:48:44,253 --> 01:48:46,732 Speaker 2: to put the work into both areas of your life nicely. 2363 01:48:46,812 --> 01:48:49,213 Speaker 3: See, because fellers buy and large, I mean some fellows 2364 01:48:49,253 --> 01:48:50,612 Speaker 3: do this, but if you haven't a bit of a 2365 01:48:50,692 --> 01:48:54,133 Speaker 3: crap day, I would assume there'd be a lot of 2366 01:48:54,173 --> 01:48:56,253 Speaker 3: fellows out there in New Zealand that wouldn't ticks their 2367 01:48:56,333 --> 01:48:58,852 Speaker 3: mate and said, had a real crappy day.

Do you think was a 2421 01:51:22,893 --> 01:51:27,093 Speaker 8: little bit worse than that. But anyway, we basically he 2422 01:51:27,213 --> 01:51:28,372 Speaker 8: got a bit too much of the track. We put 2423 01:51:28,452 --> 01:51:30,492 Speaker 8: him on a bus from Hamilton to Wllington with a 2424 01:51:30,492 --> 01:51:36,973 Speaker 8: suitcase and all we have was bras and songs when 2425 01:51:37,013 --> 01:51:38,532 Speaker 8: you went down there. So we said, oh, you won't 2426 01:51:38,572 --> 01:51:40,213 Speaker 8: go to Wellington and we're problem in the bussy kind 2427 01:51:40,213 --> 01:51:41,053 Speaker 8: of passed down the lift. 2428 01:51:42,612 --> 01:51:44,772 Speaker 2: I've been involved in some terrible staggers with terrible things 2429 01:51:44,812 --> 01:51:46,892 Speaker 2: that happened. That's kind of thing that the Hens Party 2430 01:51:47,013 --> 01:51:49,213 Speaker 2: might stop. Actually what happens is the Hens Party turns 2431 01:51:49,253 --> 01:51:51,572 Speaker 2: up and their worse behaved. Yeah, and they actually instigate 2432 01:51:51,572 --> 01:51:53,492 Speaker 2: the stuff, but thet they're going to be sensible, but 2433 01:51:53,532 --> 01:51:55,932 Speaker 2: that way worse. But they're implicit and anything that happens, 2434 01:51:56,013 --> 01:52:00,372 Speaker 2: you know, it's plausible deniability. It's sheared, she had guilt 2435 01:52:00,372 --> 01:52:01,372 Speaker 2: and she had responsibility. 2436 01:52:02,133 --> 01:52:04,412 Speaker 3: So the lad anyway, Yeah, you're going to get the leader. 2437 01:52:04,893 --> 01:52:06,812 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good idea because I 2438 01:52:06,893 --> 01:52:08,932 Speaker 8: reckon you spend time oay from me and you tend 2439 01:52:09,013 --> 01:52:14,572 Speaker 8: to appreciate them more. In my relationship, my partner bumped 2440 01:52:14,612 --> 01:52:16,692 Speaker 8: into her whole boyfriend and moved up to the north 2441 01:52:16,692 --> 01:52:19,572 Speaker 8: Old years ago and she asked me he wanted to 2442 01:52:19,652 --> 01:52:21,093 Speaker 8: take me out for a dinner to catch up, and 2443 01:52:21,133 --> 01:52:23,133 Speaker 8: I was quite happy with that, and she goes, you sure, 2444 01:52:23,173 --> 01:52:24,893 Speaker 8: that's okay, and I see that I trust you. So 2445 01:52:25,772 --> 01:52:28,333 Speaker 8: he's got to be trusting the relationship. But then on 2446 01:52:28,412 --> 01:52:30,652 Speaker 8: the other side of things, as my workmate I work 2447 01:52:30,732 --> 01:52:34,772 Speaker 8: with went fishing every weekend, every fortnighte with some one 2448 01:52:34,812 --> 01:52:38,093 Speaker 8: of the people from work, and there's always like, I'm 2449 01:52:38,093 --> 01:52:40,133 Speaker 8: going fishing with Sam. So the wife's like, oh, you're 2450 01:52:40,133 --> 01:52:42,253 Speaker 8: fair enough, We've been doing it for years. And then 2451 01:52:42,372 --> 01:52:44,253 Speaker 8: one day they caught a really large fish and he 2452 01:52:44,333 --> 01:52:46,652 Speaker 8: posted the photo on Facebook and he's Sam and a 2453 01:52:46,652 --> 01:52:49,612 Speaker 8: bikini hold the fish, and the whites like Sam and 2454 01:52:49,652 --> 01:52:50,732 Speaker 8: he goes, oh, yes, Samantha. 2455 01:52:51,893 --> 01:52:52,093 Speaker 7: Yeah. 2456 01:52:52,452 --> 01:52:55,093 Speaker 8: They didn't go down too well from their relationship after that. 2457 01:52:55,652 --> 01:52:55,812 Speaker 24: Yeah. 2458 01:52:55,812 --> 01:52:57,933 Speaker 8: I mean, if you trust your partner good enough to 2459 01:52:57,973 --> 01:53:00,293 Speaker 8: be in a relationship, you should trust them to go 2460 01:53:00,452 --> 01:53:02,293 Speaker 8: out and they should be able to know their boundaries 2461 01:53:02,333 --> 01:53:04,772 Speaker 8: and go over there. I mean, there should be mutual respect. 2462 01:53:04,812 --> 01:53:06,772 Speaker 3: I reckon between couples absolutely, Craig. 2463 01:53:06,812 --> 01:53:09,412 Speaker 2: If you love someone, set in the free regularly, and 2464 01:53:09,532 --> 01:53:11,532 Speaker 2: if it's meant to be, they come back again. 2465 01:53:11,612 --> 01:53:14,013 Speaker 3: I think there's some kind of thing that is that 2466 01:53:14,093 --> 01:53:15,812 Speaker 3: a sting. I think there's my best thing. So I 2467 01:53:15,893 --> 01:53:19,253 Speaker 3: think it does help if your partner or wife knows 2468 01:53:19,333 --> 01:53:21,692 Speaker 3: that the friends knows the friends you're going with a 2469 01:53:21,772 --> 01:53:23,492 Speaker 3: lad trip on, you know what I mean, So that 2470 01:53:24,492 --> 01:53:28,133 Speaker 3: there's an added sense of trust that, yes, there's always 2471 01:53:28,253 --> 01:53:30,892 Speaker 3: one person in the group that can lead the others astray, 2472 01:53:31,013 --> 01:53:33,492 Speaker 3: but as long as your partner wife knows who that 2473 01:53:33,612 --> 01:53:35,972 Speaker 3: person is, they can take the full heat of anything. 2474 01:53:36,133 --> 01:53:38,052 Speaker 2: Well you want as a Tyler in your life, someone 2475 01:53:38,133 --> 01:53:40,732 Speaker 2: that your partner will know is a responsible person, and 2476 01:53:40,812 --> 01:53:42,452 Speaker 2: you can say Tyler's going to be on the trips 2477 01:53:42,812 --> 01:53:44,572 Speaker 2: and then your partner will go, oh, I guess it's 2478 01:53:44,612 --> 01:53:45,173 Speaker 2: going to be all right. 2479 01:53:45,253 --> 01:53:47,013 Speaker 3: Then it's a lot of pressure. That's a lot of 2480 01:53:47,013 --> 01:53:50,732 Speaker 3: pressure on Tyler. Scotty, how you doing good? 2481 01:53:50,812 --> 01:53:50,972 Speaker 10: Good? 2482 01:53:51,213 --> 01:53:55,092 Speaker 7: This brings back like one of your book club groups. 2483 01:53:55,293 --> 01:53:57,093 Speaker 7: We've got a bunch of boys who've been operating for 2484 01:53:57,133 --> 01:54:01,532 Speaker 7: about sixteen years now doing boys travels.
