00:00:39,173 --> 00:00:42,772
Speaker 3: almost two hours of student exchange stories and the stories

12
00:00:42,772 --> 00:00:44,092
Speaker 3: coming through there to live an year old that went

00:00:44,812 --> 00:00:47,373

15
00:00:47,412 --> 00:00:50,133
Speaker 2: a shocking Irish joke at the end of the show

16
00:00:50,132 --> 00:00:52,092
Speaker 2: that we couldn't go to that we have this.

17
00:00:52,173 --> 00:00:54,293
Speaker 3: Dumb in time. I think we let that fly, didn't we.

18
00:00:54,373 --> 00:00:57,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Irish. It's funny because when I was growing up,

19
00:00:57,093 --> 00:00:58,973
Speaker 2: there was lots of Irish jokes, but now the Irish

20
00:00:59,173 --> 00:01:00,973
Speaker 2: I'd never understood them because I didn't know anything about

21
00:01:01,013 --> 00:01:03,253
Speaker 2: Irish and I've got Irish ancestory. I don't know, you know,

22
00:01:03,773 --> 00:01:05,813
Speaker 2: there are lots of jokes about Irish people being dumb. Yeah,

23
00:01:06,013 --> 00:01:07,733
Speaker 2: by a ject your seat and the helicopter and that

24
00:01:07,853 --> 00:01:11,133
Speaker 2: kind of thing. Right, No, I don't think they are. No, No,

25
00:01:11,613 --> 00:01:12,933
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they're not all

26
00:01:13,013 --> 00:01:15,413
Speaker 2: right or they just don't make any sense because Irish

27
00:01:15,413 --> 00:01:18,733
Speaker 2: people are so successful. They're everywhere across the world. In fact,

28
00:01:18,773 --> 00:01:20,612
Speaker 2: like a country that's small to have that bigger effect

29
00:01:20,652 --> 00:01:21,172
Speaker 2: on the planet.

30
00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:24,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, the stereotyping doesn't work anymore anyway. Anyway, he had

31
00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:25,413
Speaker 3: a great joke.

32
00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:27,932
Speaker 2: Bono is a bit of a dick, but most Irish

33
00:01:27,932 --> 00:01:28,932
Speaker 2: people I meet are amazing.

34
00:01:29,373 --> 00:01:30,733
Speaker 3: He's quite successful though, Bonnet.

35
00:01:30,853 --> 00:01:32,853
Speaker 2: He's done all right for himself. O Bono. Yeah, on

36
00:01:32,893 --> 00:01:33,572

Speaker 3: and the Molbra sounds where it was pretty gray most

59
00:02:28,933 --> 00:02:30,292

00:02:34,813 --> 00:02:36,733
Speaker 2: of the worst sun burdens of my life this year

63
00:02:37,173 --> 00:02:38,053
Speaker 2: on the back of my neck.

64
00:02:38,133 --> 00:02:38,292
Speaker 5: It was.

65
00:02:38,413 --> 00:02:40,132
Speaker 2: It was a shocker. Actually, I got it when I

66
00:02:40,213 --> 00:02:43,773
Speaker 2: was teaching my son to drive. Oh right, we'll talk

67
00:02:43,813 --> 00:02:46,213
Speaker 2: about this later on. But anyway, I set up this

68
00:02:46,293 --> 00:02:49,093
Speaker 2: whole road cone sort of testing thing, young driver of

69
00:02:49,133 --> 00:02:50,532
Speaker 2: the Year thing to teach me how to drive. But

70
00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:52,893
Speaker 2: just did it in a single and got the worst

71
00:02:52,933 --> 00:02:55,573
Speaker 2: sunburn it was. It was terrible. I was thinking, I've

72
00:02:55,613 --> 00:02:57,132
Speaker 2: been on this planet a long time to not know,

73
00:02:58,013 --> 00:03:01,132
Speaker 2: not remember about the horrific state of our sun.

74
00:03:01,373 --> 00:03:02,973
Speaker 3: That gets you though in a car because you think

75
00:03:03,013 --> 00:03:04,972
Speaker 3: you're kind of pretected, but you forget about the old

76
00:03:05,093 --> 00:03:07,532
Speaker 3: right arm that's kind of resting on the window so

77
00:03:07,693 --> 00:03:09,532
Speaker 3: as you can tell see the tan on my right

78
00:03:09,613 --> 00:03:12,173
Speaker 3: arm get better on my left arm, yes, because you know,

79
00:03:12,613 --> 00:03:14,373
Speaker 3: I forget about the old slip slop and slap in

80
00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:14,653
Speaker 3: the car.

81
00:03:15,053 --> 00:03:15,252
Speaker 4: Yeah.

82
00:03:15,413 --> 00:03:18,012
Speaker 2: It was a great break, but great to be back

83
00:03:18,053 --> 00:03:18,412
Speaker 2: as well.

84
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:20,493
Speaker 3: Yeah, you climbed a mountain. It was impressive.

85
00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:23,093
Speaker 2: See you're going to Yeah, that's right. So I decided

86
00:03:23,173 --> 00:03:26,213
Speaker 2: to carp a DM the New Year, so I didn't

87
00:03:26,333 --> 00:03:29,093
Speaker 2: go out on New Year's Eve, And I got up

88
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:32,013
Speaker 2: crack of dawn on the first day of twenty twenty

89
00:03:32,053 --> 00:03:35,493
Speaker 2: five and climbed mount to Harder and looked out over

90
00:03:35,533 --> 00:03:38,213
Speaker 2: the beautiful topour and then texted everyone I know to

91
00:03:38,493 --> 00:03:40,093
Speaker 2: make them feel bad because I knew they'd be waking

92
00:03:40,173 --> 00:03:40,653
Speaker 2: up hungover.

93
00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:42,172
Speaker 3: It was a great picture.

94
00:03:42,173 --> 00:03:45,973
Speaker 2: Text of them carp a dim just to rub it in.

95
00:03:47,213 --> 00:03:50,253
Speaker 2: Absolutely beautiful but that sounds virtuous. But what had actually

96
00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:52,853
Speaker 2: happened as I've been to the Topol Races the day

97
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:56,573
Speaker 2: before on and God so hard there that I was

98

00:04:00,053 --> 00:04:02,133
Speaker 3: On the first Yeah, there it is there.

00:04:02,253 --> 00:04:05,693
Speaker 2: It is folks, yeats, lovely people, total races. What a

101
00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:06,333
Speaker 2: good time that is.

102
00:04:06,893 --> 00:04:09,093
Speaker 3: We spent a night in Topor. Actually I went to

103
00:04:09,293 --> 00:04:11,973
Speaker 3: the Thermal Reserve, you know that reserve. First time I've

104
00:04:12,013 --> 00:04:14,773
Speaker 3: been there. That's phenomenal. There's a week you know, hot

105
00:04:14,853 --> 00:04:17,253
Speaker 3: pools there that a free for everybody right next.

106
00:04:17,173 --> 00:04:17,533
Speaker 6: To the river.

107
00:04:17,773 --> 00:04:20,613
Speaker 2: Great time in one spot. And I was up north

108
00:04:20,693 --> 00:04:26,253
Speaker 2: as well and out on the doing a bit of fishing. Yeah,

109
00:04:26,293 --> 00:04:29,452
Speaker 2: and also down in beautiful christ Church over the weekend

110
00:04:29,533 --> 00:04:31,213
Speaker 2: for the Black Clash. So I went all over the country.

111
00:04:31,373 --> 00:04:31,573
Speaker 4: Yep.

112
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:34,413
Speaker 3: To God, what a summer. But as you say, Matt,

113
00:04:34,493 --> 00:04:36,613
Speaker 3: nice to be back, and you mentioned it before, but

114
00:04:36,733 --> 00:04:39,613
Speaker 3: after three o'clock we're going to talk about driving lessons

115
00:04:39,653 --> 00:04:40,133
Speaker 3: for your kids.

116
00:04:40,293 --> 00:04:42,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, because I'm teaching my son at the moment,

117
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:44,493
Speaker 2: and I've got to say it's a lot easier than

118
00:04:44,533 --> 00:04:47,253
Speaker 2: it used to be. Boy, oh boy, back when you

119
00:04:47,373 --> 00:04:52,013
Speaker 2: know you had to use the clutch change gears. Hell starts.

120
00:04:52,293 --> 00:04:54,293
Speaker 3: Hell starts with the worst.

121
00:04:54,653 --> 00:04:56,573
Speaker 2: In the garden. My dad told me driving you had

122
00:04:56,613 --> 00:04:59,973
Speaker 2: to run the choke. There was so much there was

123
00:05:00,053 --> 00:05:03,733
Speaker 2: so much more to do before an intersection. But yeah,

124
00:05:03,813 --> 00:05:05,973
Speaker 2: teaching it it's a real right of passage for you

125
00:05:06,053 --> 00:05:09,333
Speaker 2: as a parent and for the child to teach them

126
00:05:09,333 --> 00:05:12,013
Speaker 2: how to drive, and it's a real test of your relationship.

127
00:05:12,133 --> 00:05:17,973
Speaker 2: But I think I might be the greatest ever parent driver, teacher,

128
00:05:18,173 --> 00:05:20,853
Speaker 2: driving instructor, parental driving instructor of all time.

129
00:05:20,933 --> 00:05:22,933
Speaker 3: That's a bold statement. I hope you have something to

130
00:05:22,973 --> 00:05:23,373
Speaker 3: back matter.

131
00:05:23,733 --> 00:05:27,613
Speaker 2: I have pictures, I've got the receipts. I've done such

132
00:05:27,653 --> 00:05:29,253
Speaker 2: a great job and I've been building up for a

133
00:05:29,333 --> 00:05:32,133
Speaker 2: long time. Slightly terrified when I took them on the motorway.

134
00:05:32,333 --> 00:05:34,533
Speaker 2: There's a few roundabouts in Auckland that will test even

135
00:05:34,573 --> 00:05:37,133
Speaker 2: the most seasoned driver. It's looking at you, Royal Ach

136
00:05:37,213 --> 00:05:40,493
Speaker 2: and the one out in green lane. But no fantastic

137
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:42,973
Speaker 2: And look, I'm very proud of my work and very

138
00:05:42,973 --> 00:05:43,613
Speaker 2: proud of him too.

139
00:05:44,093 --> 00:05:45,733
Speaker 3: Just on that, I think they should go easier on

140
00:05:45,813 --> 00:05:48,493
Speaker 3: young drivers in Auckland than they do elsewhere in the country.

141
00:05:48,653 --> 00:05:50,853
Speaker 3: Just because if you're trying to learn how to drive

142
00:05:51,053 --> 00:05:54,213
Speaker 3: on that freaking motorway, that is scary for me as

143
00:05:54,213 --> 00:05:56,413
Speaker 3: a season a season driver, I've got Well.

144
00:05:56,213 --> 00:05:59,493
Speaker 2: Well let's talk about this. Yeah, you do it because

145
00:05:59,493 --> 00:06:01,133
Speaker 2: I believe you just get straight on there and you

146
00:06:01,213 --> 00:06:02,933
Speaker 2: don't ever tell them anything's hard. You go, We're going

147
00:06:02,973 --> 00:06:04,813
Speaker 2: on the motorway right now. You test them.

148
00:06:04,973 --> 00:06:07,013
Speaker 3: It's actually fun, it's got rainbow's ind you're going to

149
00:06:07,053 --> 00:06:07,813
Speaker 3: have a ball of a time.

150
00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,892
Speaker 2: Wait, let's go. You're not going to hide you from anything.

151
00:06:11,053 --> 00:06:12,733
Speaker 3: That's going to be a good chet after three o'clock.

152
00:06:12,853 --> 00:06:15,373
Speaker 3: After two o'clock student exchanges. You may have seen the

153
00:06:15,413 --> 00:06:18,453
Speaker 3: story about the poor teen who was stuck at lax

154
00:06:18,573 --> 00:06:22,253
Speaker 3: after her student exchange program was canceled at the last minute.

155
00:06:22,293 --> 00:06:24,813
Speaker 3: But we want to take it a bit broader than that. Is,

156
00:06:25,053 --> 00:06:27,773
Speaker 3: have you sent your own child on a student exchange?

157
00:06:28,013 --> 00:06:30,213
Speaker 3: Heck of a thing for parents to do in twenty

158
00:06:30,293 --> 00:06:31,773
Speaker 3: twenty five, scary for a lot of them.

159
00:06:31,893 --> 00:06:34,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, were talking about this before when we tyler

160
00:06:34,053 --> 00:06:36,413
Speaker 2: the idea that off here. We were talking about you

161
00:06:36,453 --> 00:06:38,933
Speaker 2: know parents today, helicopter parents, they're dropping their kids off,

162
00:06:38,933 --> 00:06:41,293
Speaker 2: They're worried about everything. They're picking them up from school.

163
00:06:41,973 --> 00:06:44,413
Speaker 2: And yet some parents go, sweet as you can, fang

164
00:06:44,493 --> 00:06:48,493
Speaker 2: over to Texas and go to school over there for

165
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:50,893
Speaker 2: a bit. And I think it's a fantastic thing. But

166
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:53,853
Speaker 2: I reckon I'd be quite concerned as a parent to

167
00:06:53,933 --> 00:06:55,733
Speaker 2: send my kids off. And in this situation, she got

168
00:06:55,733 --> 00:06:57,333
Speaker 2: stuck in an airpril for twenty hours, but she got

169
00:06:57,413 --> 00:07:00,013
Speaker 2: home all right. Yeah, but did you go on one?

170
00:07:00,213 --> 00:07:01,773
Speaker 2: Is a good idea. How do you get them going?

171
00:07:02,213 --> 00:07:02,413
Speaker 7: Yeah?

172
00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:04,413
Speaker 3: Do you get to meet the I'm sure you get

173
00:07:04,453 --> 00:07:06,453
Speaker 3: to meet the family who were going to look after

174
00:07:06,533 --> 00:07:08,493
Speaker 3: your child. Initially. I mean you'd have to meet them

175
00:07:08,613 --> 00:07:12,093
Speaker 3: via zoom, but you know, hey, at least technology plays

176
00:07:12,133 --> 00:07:13,573
Speaker 3: a bit more of a part than the old days

177
00:07:13,613 --> 00:07:15,573
Speaker 3: where you just pick up the phone. Yeah, I'm looking

178
00:07:15,613 --> 00:07:17,133
Speaker 3: after your child for three months. We're good.

179
00:07:17,213 --> 00:07:18,853
Speaker 2: I've got mates that we're not exchange students and have

180
00:07:18,933 --> 00:07:21,453
Speaker 2: stayed friends with the people and the family for life.

181
00:07:21,573 --> 00:07:21,773
Speaker 5: Yeah.

182
00:07:21,853 --> 00:07:25,333
Speaker 2: And I've had some mates who had a German. A

183
00:07:25,413 --> 00:07:27,773
Speaker 2: German guy came over and became part of their family

184
00:07:27,813 --> 00:07:30,173
Speaker 2: and his visitors on and off for years afterwards.

185
00:07:30,253 --> 00:07:30,533
Speaker 3: Love that.

186
00:07:30,853 --> 00:07:32,373
Speaker 2: So it's a pretty cool thing to do to see

187
00:07:32,413 --> 00:07:35,613
Speaker 2: the world but yeah, I mean you certainly have to

188
00:07:35,733 --> 00:07:37,893
Speaker 2: be a brave parent who are allowed to happen.

189
00:07:38,013 --> 00:07:40,453
Speaker 3: Yep, that's the chat after two o'clock because right now

190
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:43,293
Speaker 3: we want to have a chat about sale GP. Clearly

191
00:07:43,413 --> 00:07:46,973
Speaker 3: by a lot of accounts at wild Auckland audiences as

192
00:07:47,093 --> 00:07:50,333
Speaker 3: Auckland of course, hosted its first sale GP regatta at

193
00:07:50,373 --> 00:07:54,573
Speaker 3: the weekend. Around twenty five thousand fans expected across the

194
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:56,693
Speaker 3: two days on the weekend, and this was after a

195
00:07:56,773 --> 00:08:00,133
Speaker 3: purpose built eight thousand seat grandstand was erected on the

196
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:03,213
Speaker 3: waterfront at Wynyard Point for the event. So there are

197
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:08,053
Speaker 3: calls now to for Auckland Council to look at spending

198
00:08:08,093 --> 00:08:12,453
Speaker 3: a bit ratepayer money to future proof that competition going

199
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:13,933
Speaker 3: forward over the next five years.

200
00:08:14,733 --> 00:08:19,653
Speaker 2: It's such a cool event. I mean, you know the

201
00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:21,733
Speaker 2: way I went to it in Littleton. I was in

202
00:08:22,053 --> 00:08:24,733
Speaker 2: christ Church at the Black Clash over the weekend, so

203
00:08:24,773 --> 00:08:26,333
Speaker 2: I couldn't go to it up here in Auckland, but

204
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:28,533
Speaker 2: I went to the one in Littleton, and just the

205
00:08:28,613 --> 00:08:32,493
Speaker 2: way it's run, the organization, how they ship everything there,

206
00:08:32,933 --> 00:08:34,933
Speaker 2: how close to the audience it is. So I'd love

207
00:08:34,973 --> 00:08:36,653
Speaker 2: to hear from people that went in little and went

208
00:08:36,693 --> 00:08:39,253
Speaker 2: in Auckland over the weekend. What their thoughts of it were.

209
00:08:39,333 --> 00:08:41,733
Speaker 2: The reviews have been very good. I'm just looking at

210
00:08:41,773 --> 00:08:45,652
Speaker 2: this article here from Bonnie Jensen. She was down there,

211
00:08:45,813 --> 00:08:49,413
Speaker 2: and the reviews are just phenomenal. This person here saying

212
00:08:49,453 --> 00:08:50,132
Speaker 2: it was brilliant.

213
00:08:50,293 --> 00:08:50,773
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

214
00:08:50,892 --> 00:08:53,333
Speaker 2: I put on a voice rip it was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

215
00:08:53,333 --> 00:08:55,612
Speaker 2: SALGP belongs in Auckland for sure. It's one of the

216
00:08:55,653 --> 00:08:58,733
Speaker 2: best events we've been to. Magic We were so close

217
00:08:58,773 --> 00:09:00,333
Speaker 2: to the water and I think it's the best event

218
00:09:00,413 --> 00:09:02,773
Speaker 2: I've ever been to. Twenty five thousand people went down

219
00:09:02,852 --> 00:09:03,012
Speaker 2: to it.

220
00:09:03,252 --> 00:09:05,492
Speaker 3: There's no doubt. It is a phenomenal event. And like you,

221
00:09:05,693 --> 00:09:08,013
Speaker 3: I went to the event in Littleton when I lived

222
00:09:08,053 --> 00:09:10,612
Speaker 3: in Church and I heard all these people saying how

223
00:09:10,653 --> 00:09:14,052
Speaker 3: amazing it was, and the party zone was amazing and

224
00:09:14,132 --> 00:09:17,732
Speaker 3: everything was done, you know, incredibly well, and I thought, oh, yeah, right,

225
00:09:18,053 --> 00:09:18,813
Speaker 3: how good can it be?

226
00:09:19,213 --> 00:09:19,532
Speaker 8: It was.

227
00:09:19,852 --> 00:09:22,252
Speaker 3: It was phenomenal the way that they'd put it on. Look,

228
00:09:22,293 --> 00:09:25,293
Speaker 3: there was some stops and starts with the dolphins. I mean,

229
00:09:25,372 --> 00:09:27,173
Speaker 3: we don't want to go down the dolphin track again.

230
00:09:27,252 --> 00:09:29,372
Speaker 3: We all know what happened with the dolphins. Hate dolphins.

231
00:09:29,413 --> 00:09:31,653
Speaker 3: Hate the Dolphins. That's why it's up here in Auckland

232
00:09:31,693 --> 00:09:33,973
Speaker 3: at the moment. But I know christ Church's got a

233
00:09:34,012 --> 00:09:35,573
Speaker 3: bit of a discount, didn't they. I think they got

234
00:09:35,612 --> 00:09:37,933
Speaker 3: a discount because Jirkland cocked it up last time.

235
00:09:38,093 --> 00:09:41,813
Speaker 2: So my understanding that SALEGB event Liveton costs christ Church

236
00:09:41,933 --> 00:09:45,813
Speaker 2: rapaid is one million to host, attracted six thousand visitors

237
00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:50,172
Speaker 2: and so allegedly spent three point three million, So the

238
00:09:50,213 --> 00:09:53,772
Speaker 2: cost includes four hundred thousand cash host city payment was

239
00:09:53,813 --> 00:09:57,213
Speaker 2: made to SALGP and another five hundred and nineteen seven

240
00:09:57,293 --> 00:09:59,653
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty six dollars accord. There's very accurate caording

241
00:09:59,693 --> 00:10:01,813
Speaker 2: this article and various costs associated with it. But I

242
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:04,172
Speaker 2: understand christ Hitch got a sixty percent discount on that

243
00:10:04,213 --> 00:10:05,612
Speaker 2: because they had to jump in and take it from

244
00:10:05,653 --> 00:10:09,333
Speaker 2: Warkland and Auckland couldn't do it. But it's not the

245
00:10:09,372 --> 00:10:12,132
Speaker 2: most expensive thing in terms of events to host into

246
00:10:12,173 --> 00:10:15,333
Speaker 2: a city, and it definitely showcases Auckland that means the

247
00:10:15,413 --> 00:10:17,252
Speaker 2: city of sales. So you want to have these kind

248
00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:19,732
Speaker 2: of events here a lot cheaper than running an America's Cup,

249
00:10:19,732 --> 00:10:21,893
Speaker 2: and I want to say more exciting the America's Cup.

250
00:10:21,973 --> 00:10:24,052
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree you got, you got the you've

251
00:10:24,053 --> 00:10:26,612
Speaker 2: got eleven teams. You've got out there, you've got them.

252
00:10:26,773 --> 00:10:30,333
Speaker 2: They've got multiple teams heading the markers that pace together.

253
00:10:30,732 --> 00:10:34,252
Speaker 2: It's an incredible event. So I know everyone's you know,

254
00:10:34,813 --> 00:10:37,372
Speaker 2: you know, we've got Mayor Wayne Brown's doing it. Got

255
00:10:37,453 --> 00:10:41,492
Speaker 2: great job raining and expenditure. But this looks like one

256
00:10:41,773 --> 00:10:44,813
Speaker 2: that is going to make back more than you put

257
00:10:44,852 --> 00:10:45,132
Speaker 2: into it.

258
00:10:45,372 --> 00:10:48,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that's the important point. I can

259
00:10:48,132 --> 00:10:51,772
Speaker 3: you get a return from rate payer investment, and that's

260
00:10:51,773 --> 00:10:53,372
Speaker 3: what this is. If it's a million bucks a rate

261
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:55,372
Speaker 3: that payer money, A lot of people be saying, hey,

262
00:10:55,453 --> 00:10:57,652
Speaker 3: that's a drop in the bucket for an event like this.

263
00:10:58,012 --> 00:11:01,252
Speaker 3: And I actually agree with spending this million bucks because yes,

264
00:11:01,372 --> 00:11:03,333
Speaker 3: you can pay money, good money to get a ticket

265
00:11:03,372 --> 00:11:05,253
Speaker 3: and be right there at the front and the party zone,

266
00:11:05,293 --> 00:11:07,533
Speaker 3: which is a great place to be. But also, if

267
00:11:07,573 --> 00:11:10,293
Speaker 3: you can't afford their ticket in Auckland, you can drive

268
00:11:10,333 --> 00:11:11,813
Speaker 3: around the harbor and watch wherever you want.

269
00:11:12,132 --> 00:11:13,933
Speaker 2: You stand on the beach, you'd watch it exactly.

270
00:11:14,293 --> 00:11:14,493
Speaker 4: Yeah.

271
00:11:14,933 --> 00:11:19,453
Speaker 2: No, and attendees agreed, according to this article from Bonnie Jansen,

272
00:11:19,492 --> 00:11:21,732
Speaker 2: that the racing spectacles well worth the hefty price of

273
00:11:21,773 --> 00:11:24,292
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy nine for a baseline grandstand ticket

274
00:11:24,612 --> 00:11:27,893
Speaker 2: or two hundred and nineteen for a premium seat. Twenty

275
00:11:27,933 --> 00:11:31,453
Speaker 2: five thousand people went. Some of Texas said, meanwhile, ninety

276
00:11:31,533 --> 00:11:34,132
Speaker 2: five thousand people went to Luke Holmes. That's true, but

277
00:11:34,252 --> 00:11:35,732
Speaker 2: weekend in Auckland it was.

278
00:11:35,852 --> 00:11:37,772
Speaker 3: Yeah, but just on that because if we're spending a

279
00:11:37,852 --> 00:11:40,532
Speaker 3: million bucks of rate payer money on something like sale GP,

280
00:11:41,372 --> 00:11:44,492
Speaker 3: is that a bit of a slippery slope where you've

281
00:11:44,533 --> 00:11:47,532
Speaker 3: got events like Luke Holmes where Auckland pay nothing for

282
00:11:47,653 --> 00:11:50,292
Speaker 3: that event, right, it's all covered by the tickets and

283
00:11:50,413 --> 00:11:54,373
Speaker 3: by the event organizers themselves. I mean, is it there's

284
00:11:54,413 --> 00:11:57,853
Speaker 3: something about sailing right that it needs that council funding

285
00:11:58,132 --> 00:12:00,892
Speaker 3: or in the government funding to prop it up? Is

286
00:12:01,012 --> 00:12:01,973
Speaker 3: that a bit far for you?

287
00:12:02,213 --> 00:12:02,293
Speaker 9: Oh?

288
00:12:02,333 --> 00:12:04,693
Speaker 3: Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

289
00:12:04,773 --> 00:12:05,693
Speaker 3: What do you think on that though?

290
00:12:05,732 --> 00:12:05,852
Speaker 10: Man?

291
00:12:05,933 --> 00:12:07,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you attended it, I'd love to see

292
00:12:07,892 --> 00:12:09,372
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear from as well and your thoughts

293
00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:09,573
Speaker 2: on it.

294
00:12:09,732 --> 00:12:12,453
Speaker 3: YEP Nine two ninety two is the text number. It

295
00:12:12,653 --> 00:12:15,852
Speaker 3: is seventeen pasted one that you're listening to Matt and Tyler.

296
00:12:15,892 --> 00:12:16,693
Speaker 3: Good afternoon to you.

297
00:12:18,773 --> 00:12:22,132
Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and

298
00:12:22,492 --> 00:12:23,453
Speaker 1: everything in between.

299
00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:25,453
Speaker 4: Matt and Tayler afternoons with.

300
00:12:25,573 --> 00:12:29,053
Speaker 1: The Volvo XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment

301
00:12:29,132 --> 00:12:30,693
Speaker 1: to comfort, news talks, there'd.

302
00:12:30,492 --> 00:12:34,412
Speaker 3: Be news talks. There'd be nineteen past one. Great to

303
00:12:34,533 --> 00:12:36,573
Speaker 3: have your company, and we are talking about sale GP

304
00:12:36,933 --> 00:12:40,573
Speaker 3: in Auckland. Should the council be paying a million bucks

305
00:12:40,612 --> 00:12:41,773
Speaker 3: a year to support this event?

306
00:12:42,093 --> 00:12:43,532
Speaker 2: I think it'd be more than that, Tyler. I think

307
00:12:43,533 --> 00:12:45,333
Speaker 2: it'd be more than a million bucks. I think it

308
00:12:45,372 --> 00:12:48,372
Speaker 2: would be maybe two million bucks. Yeah, we should find

309
00:12:48,372 --> 00:12:49,492
Speaker 2: out exactly how much that would be.

310
00:12:50,012 --> 00:12:51,693
Speaker 3: It was a million dollars this time, wasn't it. And

311
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:54,132
Speaker 3: that doesn't take into account some of that infrastructure, the

312
00:12:54,173 --> 00:12:55,852
Speaker 3: work that was done around the window able.

313
00:12:55,693 --> 00:12:58,013
Speaker 2: To see Littleton got a discount. Littleton got a discount,

314
00:12:58,012 --> 00:13:00,333
Speaker 2: four hundred thousand cash to host, the city, five hundred

315
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:04,532
Speaker 2: and nineteen thousand favarious other costs. So anyway, we'll find

316
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:05,933
Speaker 2: out exactly what the number is. But it's not one

317
00:13:05,973 --> 00:13:07,732
Speaker 2: of those astronoms. I know that's a lot of money,

318
00:13:08,093 --> 00:13:10,292
Speaker 2: but it's not one of those astronomical fees that blows

319
00:13:10,333 --> 00:13:12,532
Speaker 2: your mind, like how much it costs to do a

320
00:13:13,653 --> 00:13:17,852
Speaker 2: put up, a pedestrian costing crossing cost less than a

321
00:13:17,852 --> 00:13:22,693
Speaker 2: pedestrian crossing and ponsanbe Okay, you're getting absolutely roomed here. Geez, guys,

322
00:13:22,693 --> 00:13:25,293
Speaker 2: there's no beach where you can sit and watch our GP.

323
00:13:25,773 --> 00:13:28,412
Speaker 2: If you know I've won, please share it Tony and

324
00:13:30,413 --> 00:13:32,333
Speaker 2: says this texter. I've never seen anyone text.

325
00:13:32,933 --> 00:13:33,813
Speaker 3: You did that very well.

326
00:13:34,573 --> 00:13:36,693
Speaker 2: Facts, please, guys. There are no beaches to watch the

327
00:13:36,813 --> 00:13:38,813
Speaker 2: race from in the inner harbor and in a city.

328
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:40,813
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can have a you can park up

329
00:13:40,852 --> 00:13:42,533
Speaker 3: and watch it from your car, I think is my point.

330
00:13:42,773 --> 00:13:45,333
Speaker 3: In years, the experience is not as good in the

331
00:13:45,372 --> 00:13:47,132
Speaker 3: party zone, but that's why you pay what was it,

332
00:13:47,173 --> 00:13:49,493
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy nine dollars a ticket and up

333
00:13:49,573 --> 00:13:50,973
Speaker 3: to two hundred and nineteen.

334
00:13:50,693 --> 00:13:52,693
Speaker 2: Buck Like I'm looking at some kids. You got out

335
00:13:52,732 --> 00:13:54,252
Speaker 2: on some of you people got out on a picnic

336
00:13:54,293 --> 00:13:56,093
Speaker 2: tail of flob floating picnic table.

337
00:13:56,492 --> 00:13:57,532
Speaker 3: Good on those people.

338
00:13:57,573 --> 00:13:59,813
Speaker 2: Where's that that story? Here's a story around here. The

339
00:13:59,892 --> 00:14:03,533
Speaker 2: photo floating a group of you may not be able

340
00:14:03,533 --> 00:14:07,173
Speaker 2: to watch it from the beach, but a group floating

341
00:14:07,252 --> 00:14:09,453
Speaker 2: on a picnic table power by an outboard motors to

342
00:14:09,492 --> 00:14:11,893
Speaker 2: call themselves a boozy front row seat for the sale

343
00:14:12,693 --> 00:14:15,892
Speaker 2: GP and Auckland's harbor over the weekend. So good a

344
00:14:15,973 --> 00:14:19,453
Speaker 2: policeman on a jet ski motor after to harangue the

345
00:14:19,533 --> 00:14:22,133
Speaker 2: seven young men there you go, just let them do it.

346
00:14:22,213 --> 00:14:24,292
Speaker 3: I mean, that sort of ingenuity is what we love

347
00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:28,373
Speaker 3: in New Zealand's This text I think sums up quite

348
00:14:28,373 --> 00:14:29,493
Speaker 3: a few of the text of it coming through on

349
00:14:29,573 --> 00:14:32,813
Speaker 3: nine two ninety two. Guys, no to our rates go

350
00:14:32,933 --> 00:14:36,573
Speaker 3: into a bunch of rich sailors. Our local roads aren't

351
00:14:36,573 --> 00:14:39,693
Speaker 3: even safe. Sale GP has enough to fund itself. Bunch

352
00:14:39,773 --> 00:14:42,292
Speaker 3: of rich entitled so and sos from Rochelle.

353
00:14:42,653 --> 00:14:46,333
Speaker 2: Really, so you shouldn't do things because there's rich people involved.

354
00:14:46,813 --> 00:14:50,933
Speaker 2: That seems like a very how would you say, bitter

355
00:14:51,693 --> 00:14:54,412
Speaker 2: and jealous way to look at the world. Spend a

356
00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:57,653
Speaker 2: dollar and get five back in economic development to Auckland,

357
00:14:57,653 --> 00:15:00,373
Speaker 2: says this text. So that's pretty good return, even at

358
00:15:00,413 --> 00:15:03,412
Speaker 2: two return, that's pretty good. How much did labor waste

359
00:15:03,453 --> 00:15:05,373
Speaker 2: of our taxes for absolutely no return?

360
00:15:06,453 --> 00:15:09,773
Speaker 3: That's a good question. And when we remember that debacle

361
00:15:10,013 --> 00:15:12,333
Speaker 3: or the kerfuffle about the America's Cup, and I think

362
00:15:12,413 --> 00:15:15,133
Speaker 3: from memory the government we're looking at putting in five

363
00:15:15,213 --> 00:15:18,333
Speaker 3: million bucks to retain the America's Cup in New Zealand,

364
00:15:18,453 --> 00:15:22,052
Speaker 3: and if you remember which year, please text it through.

365
00:15:22,253 --> 00:15:25,493
Speaker 3: But there was all sorts of controversy over five million bucks.

366
00:15:25,573 --> 00:15:27,893
Speaker 3: Now we're looking at what roughly and we're going to

367
00:15:27,933 --> 00:15:30,213
Speaker 3: find out the exact cost, but two two million bucks.

368
00:15:30,253 --> 00:15:32,453
Speaker 2: Let's say we have any support out there. Have we

369
00:15:32,533 --> 00:15:34,493
Speaker 2: got a producer that could find us how much the

370
00:15:34,573 --> 00:15:37,213
Speaker 2: cost would be. It's actually going to Auckland. And by

371
00:15:37,253 --> 00:15:38,613
Speaker 2: the way, we're going to have a chat with Coss

372
00:15:38,653 --> 00:15:39,572
Speaker 2: Auckland exactly.

373
00:15:39,413 --> 00:15:43,413
Speaker 3: Professor Mark Orham's in about ten minutes, who I think

374
00:15:44,013 --> 00:15:47,013
Speaker 3: will have some more solid numbers for us. But when

375
00:15:47,053 --> 00:15:49,933
Speaker 3: we look at those sort of figures, I can understand

376
00:15:50,133 --> 00:15:52,373
Speaker 3: slightly where Rochelle was coming from that we fund an

377
00:15:52,413 --> 00:15:54,813
Speaker 3: event like sale GP, why don't we fund something like

378
00:15:54,933 --> 00:15:59,053
Speaker 3: Luke Comb's or fund a myriad of other events.

379
00:15:59,893 --> 00:16:02,893
Speaker 2: Luke Combs doesn't cost us any money. Run No, Luke

380
00:16:02,933 --> 00:16:05,733
Speaker 2: Coumbs turns up and he extracts a bunch of money

381
00:16:05,933 --> 00:16:09,133
Speaker 2: and that pays for itself. Right, Yeah, yeah, I mean

382
00:16:09,173 --> 00:16:10,933
Speaker 2: it's a it's a kind of a slightly different thing

383
00:16:11,693 --> 00:16:15,133
Speaker 2: because you know, Luke Holmb's management's books the stadium and

384
00:16:15,213 --> 00:16:15,773
Speaker 2: they come and play.

385
00:16:16,013 --> 00:16:18,773
Speaker 3: The infrastructure has already been paid for the stadiums, they're

386
00:16:18,773 --> 00:16:21,532
Speaker 3: ready to go, whereas the infrastructure for sailing and sal

387
00:16:21,653 --> 00:16:23,813
Speaker 3: GP is not up there to the same standard.

388
00:16:23,933 --> 00:16:25,053
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Oh one.

389
00:16:25,053 --> 00:16:27,853
Speaker 3: Hundred eighty ten eighty is the number. Call Elie. How

390
00:16:27,893 --> 00:16:28,733
Speaker 3: are you this afternoon?

391
00:16:29,933 --> 00:16:30,053
Speaker 9: Oh?

392
00:16:30,173 --> 00:16:32,333
Speaker 5: Hi, you know, I've just actually just got back from

393
00:16:32,333 --> 00:16:35,453
Speaker 5: the gym. I live on downtown Aupen City, and I

394
00:16:35,613 --> 00:16:40,133
Speaker 5: know everything was happening last weekend. Now I'd like to

395
00:16:40,213 --> 00:16:42,573
Speaker 5: know how come rate payers did not know about this

396
00:16:42,733 --> 00:16:46,532
Speaker 5: money being put into the event? Gup weekend?

397
00:16:46,893 --> 00:16:47,493
Speaker 11: Was that?

398
00:16:48,493 --> 00:16:50,532
Speaker 5: Will we let you know? They let people know that

399
00:16:50,693 --> 00:16:52,253
Speaker 5: that money is going to come out of ratepayers.

400
00:16:52,533 --> 00:16:54,693
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it's an advance. When they agree

401
00:16:54,693 --> 00:16:56,493
Speaker 2: to it, they have to sign.

402
00:16:56,333 --> 00:16:57,133
Speaker 4: It off in advance.

403
00:16:58,293 --> 00:17:00,333
Speaker 10: That was not publicize well.

404
00:17:00,253 --> 00:17:01,973
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, well, well, you could have easily

405
00:17:02,013 --> 00:17:03,853
Speaker 2: found it out if you if you wanted to look

406
00:17:03,933 --> 00:17:07,532
Speaker 2: for it. I mean, it wasn't the you know, it

407
00:17:07,573 --> 00:17:09,453
Speaker 2: was pretty. It's pretty. I mean, we can see exactly

408
00:17:09,533 --> 00:17:12,213
Speaker 2: how much it costs Littleton, as I said before, one

409
00:17:12,293 --> 00:17:14,813
Speaker 2: million to host, but attracted six thousand visitors.

410
00:17:15,053 --> 00:17:17,773
Speaker 5: So if the government's going to be putting, like the

411
00:17:17,813 --> 00:17:19,413
Speaker 5: council is going to be putn't say you say it

412
00:17:19,533 --> 00:17:22,213
Speaker 5: was a roughly a million, right, I think it'd be.

413
00:17:22,213 --> 00:17:24,733
Speaker 2: More than I think it'd be more than that. We're

414
00:17:24,773 --> 00:17:26,293
Speaker 2: trying to get to the bottom of exactly how much

415
00:17:26,293 --> 00:17:28,613
Speaker 2: it is because I think Littleton got a sixty percent discount.

416
00:17:30,213 --> 00:17:32,733
Speaker 5: I mean that seating wasn't cheap as you say. And

417
00:17:32,853 --> 00:17:36,213
Speaker 5: what about the average show blogs that wants to go

418
00:17:36,373 --> 00:17:40,292
Speaker 5: and have a look. You know, not everyone can afford

419
00:17:40,333 --> 00:17:43,333
Speaker 5: to buy a ticket at that price, so you're really

420
00:17:43,373 --> 00:17:45,653
Speaker 5: only getting a select amount of people to be able

421
00:17:45,693 --> 00:17:47,893
Speaker 5: to actually watch it at the event. Because that's seating

422
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:51,493
Speaker 5: took up the entire skate park. Because my grandchildren come

423
00:17:51,533 --> 00:17:54,613
Speaker 5: and they skate there, and we went there last weekend

424
00:17:55,213 --> 00:17:57,893
Speaker 5: and they have put up all their infrastructure for the seating.

425
00:17:58,053 --> 00:18:02,133
Speaker 5: It's oh actually it's taken up all the recreation area

426
00:18:02,613 --> 00:18:03,173
Speaker 5: for people.

427
00:18:03,453 --> 00:18:07,013
Speaker 2: Yeah, just for a weekend and twenty five thousand people

428
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:10,053
Speaker 2: went along and had a great time. You can watch

429
00:18:10,053 --> 00:18:12,173
Speaker 2: it on television. You can park up in different places

430
00:18:13,093 --> 00:18:15,933
Speaker 2: and watch it. And the argument would be that it

431
00:18:16,053 --> 00:18:21,133
Speaker 2: brings money into you know, as this text had said before, like,

432
00:18:22,053 --> 00:18:24,413
Speaker 2: you know, people come to the city to watch it,

433
00:18:24,533 --> 00:18:26,293
Speaker 2: so it brings money into the economy.

434
00:18:27,493 --> 00:18:30,693
Speaker 5: But my gripers, why don't they subsidize it a little

435
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:33,253
Speaker 5: bit for like ratepayers, so we can get a discount.

436
00:18:32,893 --> 00:18:33,413
Speaker 12: On the ticket.

437
00:18:35,133 --> 00:18:37,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll hear what you're saying, Ellie. And look, I

438
00:18:37,293 --> 00:18:39,773
Speaker 3: get the argument that if they're selling tickets at this

439
00:18:39,933 --> 00:18:43,133
Speaker 3: premium price and if they can't support themselves, then maybe

440
00:18:43,493 --> 00:18:47,933
Speaker 3: they shouldn't be getting taxpayer money for this event. But exactly,

441
00:18:48,133 --> 00:18:50,853
Speaker 3: but and here's the big buck, because I actually support

442
00:18:50,933 --> 00:18:53,253
Speaker 3: this million dollars plus going to this event. Is it

443
00:18:53,333 --> 00:18:57,013
Speaker 3: is something that people in Auckland, primarily Littleton was a

444
00:18:57,053 --> 00:18:59,853
Speaker 3: bit harder, but in Auckland it's far easier to drive

445
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:02,453
Speaker 3: up somewhere and to have a wee. Look, yes, you're

446
00:19:02,493 --> 00:19:04,453
Speaker 3: not going to be in the party zone, and it

447
00:19:04,613 --> 00:19:05,893
Speaker 3: is a lot of money for a lot of people,

448
00:19:06,173 --> 00:19:08,853
Speaker 3: but at least you can experience that for you know,

449
00:19:09,053 --> 00:19:11,333
Speaker 3: someplace in the harbor, not a peach, but someplace in

450
00:19:11,373 --> 00:19:14,013
Speaker 3: the harbor. And the money that it brings into Auckland,

451
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:15,213
Speaker 3: it's got to have that return.

452
00:19:15,373 --> 00:19:18,773
Speaker 2: Well, looking at this these steps here the regat I

453
00:19:18,813 --> 00:19:22,533
Speaker 2: brought ten thousand visitor nights to the city with about

454
00:19:22,533 --> 00:19:27,413
Speaker 2: twenty five thousand people going, and it's said to have

455
00:19:27,493 --> 00:19:30,573
Speaker 2: brought in and you know, everyone always questions this. It's

456
00:19:30,613 --> 00:19:32,653
Speaker 2: said to boord in five point two million dollars.

457
00:19:33,933 --> 00:19:34,853
Speaker 7: Don't don't get me wrong.

458
00:19:35,013 --> 00:19:36,893
Speaker 5: It's great for the city and it's good to bring

459
00:19:37,053 --> 00:19:39,173
Speaker 5: and it brings read and I understand that. But what

460
00:19:39,293 --> 00:19:42,093
Speaker 5: I'm saying is just, you know, make it a little

461
00:19:42,093 --> 00:19:46,013
Speaker 5: bit you know, easier for local people to go and

462
00:19:46,053 --> 00:19:48,693
Speaker 5: watch it. So we've sort of you know, just left out.

463
00:19:48,853 --> 00:19:50,973
Speaker 5: You know, if you can't afford it, well you can't go.

464
00:19:51,053 --> 00:19:51,613
Speaker 13: To it, can you.

465
00:19:52,613 --> 00:19:54,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's true of a lot of things.

466
00:19:54,653 --> 00:19:54,893
Speaker 5: That is.

467
00:19:55,053 --> 00:19:57,893
Speaker 3: Yeah, allie, thank you very much. Really, I appreciate your

468
00:19:57,933 --> 00:20:00,093
Speaker 3: point of view. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty

469
00:20:00,293 --> 00:20:02,613

Speaker 4: Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking.

00:20:13,213 --> 00:20:15,853
Speaker 2: Breakfast Sam and Brown, the new health minister is with me,

00:20:16,013 --> 00:20:16,853

Speaker 11: Lock.

480
00:20:20,733 --> 00:20:22,253
Speaker 15: He's being brought in to do a job, which is

481
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:24,493
Speaker 15: to make sure that we get the health system delivering.

482
00:20:24,653 --> 00:20:26,453
Speaker 14: That's my focus as mister, making sure it's.

483
00:20:26,373 --> 00:20:28,413
Speaker 15: Delivering quality and timely access to health.

484
00:20:28,453 --> 00:20:30,773
Speaker 2: If all news Isleanders, it's not making the progress you

485
00:20:30,853 --> 00:20:32,613
Speaker 2: need right now, does that mean that he's gone.

486
00:20:32,453 --> 00:20:34,373
Speaker 15: To look well, I think what we've seen from the

487
00:20:34,413 --> 00:20:37,213
Speaker 15: health targets, we are starting to see some of those stapelines,

488
00:20:37,253 --> 00:20:38,693
Speaker 15: but there is so much more work to do. We

489
00:20:38,733 --> 00:20:41,213
Speaker 15: would need to see New Zealanders getting through Ed's faster

490
00:20:41,493 --> 00:20:42,693
Speaker 15: access to the GPS sooner.

491
00:20:42,853 --> 00:20:43,933
Speaker 2: Get confidence in them to do that.

492
00:20:44,133 --> 00:20:45,213
Speaker 5: Oh look, you've been given a job.

493
00:20:45,253 --> 00:20:46,813
Speaker 4: He's in that job to them the love this year.

494
00:20:46,933 --> 00:20:49,333
Speaker 3: But I need the whole system to be focused on delivery.

495
00:20:49,853 --> 00:20:53,093
Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge on the mic Hosking Breakfast back tomorrow at

496

Speaker 2: You're se the Matt Tyler afternoons on Newstalk z B.

498
00:21:00,373 --> 00:21:03,293
Speaker 2: Calvin your thoughts on the sale GP. Should the Aukland

499
00:21:03,293 --> 00:21:05,293
Speaker 2: City Council pump some money into it? A couple of

500
00:21:05,373 --> 00:21:08,052
Speaker 2: million million, something like that to keep it back here.

501
00:21:09,173 --> 00:21:10,893
Speaker 9: Well, if they do, it doesn't affect me at all,

502
00:21:10,933 --> 00:21:15,093
Speaker 9: because I'm here in the tron now. On Saturday, when

503
00:21:15,093 --> 00:21:17,533
Speaker 9: I got home from watching an athletic meeting here in

504
00:21:17,613 --> 00:21:21,453
Speaker 9: the tron, I saw the last one hour on TV

505
00:21:21,573 --> 00:21:23,653
Speaker 9: one plus one of the yacht racing and it was

506
00:21:23,733 --> 00:21:27,533
Speaker 9: pretty good. And then yesterday Sunday I tended to watch

507
00:21:27,573 --> 00:21:30,133
Speaker 9: it all, you know, the whole hour and a half

508
00:21:30,253 --> 00:21:34,333
Speaker 9: whatever it was on. And sometime before the race started

509
00:21:34,373 --> 00:21:37,213
Speaker 9: in that I heard an interview on news Talk ZB

510
00:21:38,133 --> 00:21:44,893
Speaker 9: and the person was chatting away to the capitano skipper

511
00:21:45,293 --> 00:21:49,053
Speaker 9: of the yacht about the damage, because the Australian yacht

512
00:21:49,533 --> 00:21:52,693
Speaker 9: yacht had been damaged earlier on and they asked him

513
00:21:52,693 --> 00:21:55,533
Speaker 9: what caused the damage and they said, oh, it was

514
00:21:55,573 --> 00:22:00,493
Speaker 9: a shark. Now, immediately I thought, my goodness, because about

515
00:22:00,613 --> 00:22:02,173
Speaker 9: a week or ten days ago I read in the

516
00:22:02,213 --> 00:22:05,933
Speaker 9: newspaper here in the tron that in New Zealand there

517
00:22:05,933 --> 00:22:09,453
Speaker 9: were about six different species of sharks which are all protected.

518
00:22:10,173 --> 00:22:13,733
Speaker 9: And immediately when they said about this possible shark or

519
00:22:13,773 --> 00:22:18,853
Speaker 9: the shark hitting the Aussie yacht yesterday or whatever, I

520
00:22:18,853 --> 00:22:21,453
Speaker 9: immediately thought it would hang on there. We can't have

521
00:22:23,093 --> 00:22:25,853
Speaker 9: rich shotsmen racing around the Auckland Harbor. It's not a

522
00:22:25,933 --> 00:22:28,213
Speaker 9: laughing matter. This is a serious we can't have them.

523
00:22:30,853 --> 00:22:33,093
Speaker 3: Problem. I can see where you go. Either love dolphins,

524
00:22:33,133 --> 00:22:33,893
Speaker 3: but we hate sharks.

525
00:22:34,053 --> 00:22:36,253
Speaker 2: I think I think ach ding a shark. It's pretty funny,

526
00:22:36,613 --> 00:22:39,533
Speaker 2: like a falling Australian yacht hitting a shark. It's pretty funy.

527
00:22:39,573 --> 00:22:41,173
Speaker 3: Good luck to the boat in there's that scenario.

528
00:22:41,893 --> 00:22:46,293
Speaker 9: Well it's still there. Yeah, yeah, Well, the reality is

529
00:22:46,373 --> 00:22:49,693
Speaker 9: that these six species of sharks are protected. They're either

530
00:22:49,893 --> 00:22:52,493
Speaker 9: they're going to be protected or not. That'll be the

531
00:22:52,573 --> 00:22:54,693
Speaker 9: law of the law of the land. To me, it

532
00:22:54,773 --> 00:22:57,133
Speaker 9: doesn't bother me because the only water I tend to

533
00:22:57,173 --> 00:22:58,573
Speaker 9: get under is the mighty white Shadow.

534
00:22:58,813 --> 00:23:01,093
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not so many shots in Hamilton Lake, is there?

535
00:23:01,973 --> 00:23:03,812
Speaker 9: Well no, not in the lake, but they could come

536
00:23:03,893 --> 00:23:06,573
Speaker 9: up the wake at a river from from the sea,

537
00:23:06,693 --> 00:23:09,653
Speaker 9: but I haven't seen any for a while. No, So

538
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,453
Speaker 9: if it was a shark damage it, well that could

539
00:23:12,493 --> 00:23:18,533
Speaker 9: put a ki wash on any future yachting in the GP.

540
00:23:18,853 --> 00:23:21,093
Speaker 2: Thank thank you, thank you for that, Calvin. That was

541
00:23:21,093 --> 00:23:23,173
Speaker 2: an angle. I didn't think we're going to get the shot.

542
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:25,253
Speaker 3: How far can a shark get up the White Cutter River?

543
00:23:26,893 --> 00:23:27,693
Speaker 3: There's a committed chart.

544
00:23:27,733 --> 00:23:30,253
Speaker 2: Have you seen that Netflix movie Under Paris where the

545
00:23:31,013 --> 00:23:34,413
Speaker 2: sharks come up to send just before the sounds like

546
00:23:34,493 --> 00:23:37,733
Speaker 2: a good watch, just before a triathlon. It's a great

547
00:23:37,773 --> 00:23:38,453
Speaker 2: movie on Netflix.

548
00:23:38,573 --> 00:23:38,973
Speaker 4: It's good.

549
00:23:39,293 --> 00:23:41,693
Speaker 2: It's called I think it's called Under Paris, Under Paris,

550
00:23:41,773 --> 00:23:43,893
Speaker 2: so that could Under Hamilton could be the sequel.

551
00:23:44,253 --> 00:23:46,453
Speaker 3: Love it. Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty

552
00:23:46,653 --> 00:23:48,973

553
00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:51,413
Speaker 3: hit by all accounts and orphaned over the weekend. Is

554
00:23:51,453 --> 00:23:53,893
Speaker 3: it worth rate payer money going back into it? And

555
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:55,733
Speaker 3: after the headlines we're going to have a chat with

556

Speaker 3: about sailing in New Zealand and internationally. We'll get his

558
00:24:01,733 --> 00:24:05,333

562
00:24:16,733 --> 00:24:20,573
Speaker 11: no trouble with the blue bubble. The GP Owners' Association

563
00:24:20,733 --> 00:24:23,293
Speaker 11: says the government needs more than a new minister to

564

565

582
00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:35,253
Speaker 4: Yeah, we hold off.

583
00:25:35,253 --> 00:25:38,933
Speaker 2: I've got an update on Calvin's shark and that. Okay,

584

Speaker 2: you don't need to worry. That wasn't It wasn't a

585
00:25:41,293 --> 00:25:43,493
Speaker 2: shark attack in the Sale GP and have the weekend.

586
00:25:43,573 --> 00:25:46,213
Speaker 2: I think you're as safe from shark attacks and Hamilton

587
00:25:46,293 --> 00:25:47,133
Speaker 2: for now. But we'll get to that.

588
00:25:47,573 --> 00:25:49,733
Speaker 3: Twist to that story. We'll get to that very shortly

589
00:25:49,973 --> 00:25:52,533
Speaker 3: because on the line is Professor Mark Ormsy is a

590
00:25:52,573 --> 00:25:56,453
Speaker 3: former New Zealand and World Champion sailor Team New Zealand member, author,

591
00:25:56,853 --> 00:26:00,253
Speaker 3: environmentalist and professor of Sport and Recreation at the Auckland

592
00:26:00,373 --> 00:26:03,693
Speaker 3: University of Technology. Very great to have you on this afternoon, Mark.

593
00:26:05,533 --> 00:26:08,293
Speaker 3: So when it comes to sale GP and the future

594
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:10,853
Speaker 3: sure of that event in Auckland, are you a supporter

595
00:26:11,213 --> 00:26:14,733
Speaker 3: of ratepayer money going into supporting this event going forward?

596
00:26:15,773 --> 00:26:18,653
Speaker 16: Well, certainly as a sailor, a lifelong sailor and sailing fan,

597
00:26:19,053 --> 00:26:21,933
Speaker 16: I am. But when I put my sort of academic,

598
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:24,293
Speaker 16: more analytical hat on, I think a key thing is

599
00:26:24,693 --> 00:26:27,213
Speaker 16: and this is true for any event, irrespective of whether

600
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:30,893
Speaker 16: it's a sporting event or other kind of entertainment special event,

601
00:26:31,333 --> 00:26:34,133
Speaker 16: when you're using rate payers or taxpayers money. It needs

602
00:26:34,173 --> 00:26:36,933
Speaker 16: to be really clear what the return on that investment is,

603
00:26:37,933 --> 00:26:40,533
Speaker 16: and we know that an event's portfolio can be a

604
00:26:40,613 --> 00:26:44,253
Speaker 16: really positive thing for our economy. Certainly, the vibe over

605
00:26:44,333 --> 00:26:47,413
Speaker 16: the weekend in Auckland I don't think we've experienced since

606
00:26:47,493 --> 00:26:50,213
Speaker 16: pre COVID times. And yeah, we've got to remember that

607
00:26:50,293 --> 00:26:52,933
Speaker 16: Auckland was lockdown longer than anywhere else in the country,

608
00:26:53,293 --> 00:26:56,813
Speaker 16: and especially the hospitality industry really needed the shot in

609
00:26:56,813 --> 00:26:59,973
Speaker 16: the arm that this last weekend gave us with sale GP,

610
00:27:00,573 --> 00:27:03,533
Speaker 16: with the Luke Combs concert, with the Auckland FC having

611
00:27:03,573 --> 00:27:06,373
Speaker 16: a home game, So we had this real sense of

612
00:27:06,533 --> 00:27:10,293
Speaker 16: vibrancy and energy and positivity and that's hard to put

613
00:27:10,413 --> 00:27:12,813
Speaker 16: some numbers on, but it's certainly part of the picture

614
00:27:13,053 --> 00:27:16,253
Speaker 16: of making an investment in special events like this.

615
00:27:17,013 --> 00:27:20,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, and as this Texas says here, we went to

616
00:27:20,333 --> 00:27:22,493
Speaker 2: the viaduct and watched SALGP on the big screen and

617
00:27:22,533 --> 00:27:24,973
Speaker 2: could screen and could see the boats as they went by.

618
00:27:25,133 --> 00:27:28,573
Speaker 2: It was awesome and free. So there is an experience

619
00:27:28,653 --> 00:27:33,853
Speaker 2: that people in Auckland can have. How profitable is the

620
00:27:34,253 --> 00:27:38,133
Speaker 2: sale GP enterprise across the world because it's traveling everywhere

621
00:27:38,173 --> 00:27:40,373
Speaker 2: through that whole year. You got eleven teams in there.

622
00:27:40,853 --> 00:27:42,293
Speaker 2: Are they making a lot of money and know a

623
00:27:42,333 --> 00:27:44,613
Speaker 2: lot of money's being pumped into it, But is it

624
00:27:44,653 --> 00:27:46,453
Speaker 2: a successful undertaking?

625
00:27:47,653 --> 00:27:50,013
Speaker 16: Well, yeah, I guess it depends on your perspective. It's

626
00:27:50,053 --> 00:27:52,493
Speaker 16: successful in terms of its growth. I mean it started

627
00:27:52,533 --> 00:27:55,253
Speaker 16: off as an idea hatched by Russell Coots and Larry

628
00:27:55,293 --> 00:27:59,133
Speaker 16: Allison off the back of the loss of the America's

629
00:27:59,133 --> 00:28:02,133
Speaker 16: Cup to New Zealand and twenty sixteen of coming up

630
00:28:02,133 --> 00:28:05,973
Speaker 16: with an alternative professional sailing circuit that in many ways

631
00:28:06,413 --> 00:28:10,572
Speaker 16: they looked at other successful models like Moto GP, Formula one,

632
00:28:11,053 --> 00:28:14,853
Speaker 16: other professional sporting franchises, and went ahead and said, with

633
00:28:15,053 --> 00:28:18,533
Speaker 16: Larry Ellison's significant backing, let's give this five years and

634
00:28:18,573 --> 00:28:21,573
Speaker 16: see if we can turn it into a commercially viable

635
00:28:21,973 --> 00:28:25,173
Speaker 16: sports entertainment product. Now they're well on the way to

636
00:28:25,333 --> 00:28:28,013
Speaker 16: achieving that, and that's out of all of the teams

637
00:28:28,053 --> 00:28:30,693
Speaker 16: that they have, and remembering they've added teams over time,

638
00:28:31,653 --> 00:28:36,013
Speaker 16: all but two of them are independently funded. They're numbers

639
00:28:36,133 --> 00:28:41,733
Speaker 16: internationally in terms of the viewership and therefore attracting sponsors

640
00:28:41,813 --> 00:28:44,613
Speaker 16: like Rolex we've seen on the Weekend and others and

641
00:28:44,693 --> 00:28:48,773
Speaker 16: other events as really growing, so they're doing the work

642
00:28:48,933 --> 00:28:53,413
Speaker 16: needed to create something that's commercially successful longer term. I

643
00:28:53,533 --> 00:28:55,453
Speaker 16: think they're on the verge of that, but it has

644
00:28:55,613 --> 00:29:00,053
Speaker 16: really required a long term and substantive investment by Larry

645
00:29:00,093 --> 00:29:01,493
Speaker 16: Ellison to get to this point.

646
00:29:02,253 --> 00:29:05,493
Speaker 3: Is it easier to cater for in terms of setting

647
00:29:05,613 --> 00:29:08,573
Speaker 3: up from ratepayer funding and the event itself than the

648
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:10,933
Speaker 3: likes of America's Cup. Clearly there's been a lot of

649
00:29:11,333 --> 00:29:14,693
Speaker 3: controversy over the hosting and not hosting of America's Cup

650
00:29:14,733 --> 00:29:17,413
Speaker 3: in Auckland, But for this event in particular, sale GP,

651
00:29:18,093 --> 00:29:21,013
Speaker 3: is this a lot easier to I suppose set up

652
00:29:21,013 --> 00:29:21,893
Speaker 3: as a long term event.

653
00:29:23,133 --> 00:29:25,053
Speaker 16: I think it's easier in the sense that it's a

654
00:29:25,093 --> 00:29:27,253
Speaker 16: lot more regular. I'm one of the big challenges with

655
00:29:27,293 --> 00:29:29,453
Speaker 16: the America's Cup is that it only happens every three

656
00:29:29,533 --> 00:29:31,693
Speaker 16: or four years and for a couple of weeks, right,

657
00:29:31,813 --> 00:29:35,013
Speaker 16: So that from a commercial sponsorship point of view is

658
00:29:35,053 --> 00:29:38,813
Speaker 16: not a particularly attractive proposition, whereas sale GP now is

659
00:29:38,933 --> 00:29:43,893
Speaker 16: a year long, multi city, multi event franchise where if

660
00:29:43,973 --> 00:29:46,693
Speaker 16: you buy in as a sponsor, you're guarantee to not

661
00:29:46,773 --> 00:29:49,853
Speaker 16: only get the exposure that you're looking for from that investment.

662
00:29:50,293 --> 00:29:53,653
Speaker 16: On a long term basis, you've also got multiple events

663
00:29:53,693 --> 00:29:56,453
Speaker 16: where you can leverridge off with your clients and your

664
00:29:56,453 --> 00:29:59,493
Speaker 16: supporters and your staff as well. So it's not just

665
00:29:59,533 --> 00:30:01,853
Speaker 16: about promotion of your brand, it's all the other things

666
00:30:01,893 --> 00:30:05,773
Speaker 16: that you can leverridge off it. So the sale GP

667
00:30:06,333 --> 00:30:10,253
Speaker 16: from a commercial perspective, is a far more viable proposition

668
00:30:10,693 --> 00:30:12,893
Speaker 16: than the America's Cup that only happens every three or

669
00:30:12,933 --> 00:30:15,733
Speaker 16: four years and there's no guarantee of where it's going

670
00:30:15,773 --> 00:30:17,893
Speaker 16: to go depending on who wins it the next time.

671
00:30:18,133 --> 00:30:21,013
Speaker 16: So that's the beauty about the sale GP product. I

672
00:30:21,093 --> 00:30:24,733
Speaker 16: think it's just a more compelling commercial proposition for sponsors

673
00:30:25,613 --> 00:30:26,973
Speaker 16: and host cities, which.

674
00:30:27,013 --> 00:30:31,013
Speaker 2: Make Orans a ut sailing professor. So yeah, as you say,

675
00:30:31,253 --> 00:30:34,853
Speaker 2: is Auckland, Sydney. This year, the SALGP Los Angeles, San Francisco,

676
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,933
Speaker 2: They're going to Brazil, they go to New York, They're

677
00:30:36,933 --> 00:30:40,133
Speaker 2: go to the UK, all over over the shop Geneva,

678
00:30:41,333 --> 00:30:44,733
Speaker 2: they are in the Middle East. It's a global thing.

679
00:30:44,813 --> 00:30:47,893
Speaker 2: It's happening all year that there's a huge excitement level.

680
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:50,773
Speaker 2: There's eleven teams. Is it sucking the life out of

681
00:30:50,813 --> 00:30:51,573
Speaker 2: the America's Cup.

682
00:30:53,053 --> 00:30:55,053
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's a really good question, isn't it. I mean,

683
00:30:55,293 --> 00:30:57,893
Speaker 16: the people would say it, including Sir Russell Coots is

684
00:30:57,933 --> 00:31:01,453
Speaker 16: the CE of sal GP, says well, it's an alternative

685
00:31:01,493 --> 00:31:04,253
Speaker 16: and not a competitor to the America's Cup. But I

686
00:31:04,373 --> 00:31:07,973
Speaker 16: think in reality there is a competition going on for

687
00:31:08,133 --> 00:31:12,893
Speaker 16: what is the pre eminent competitive sailing product out there globally.

688
00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:16,613
Speaker 16: The thing that sale GP doesn't have is the one

689
00:31:16,693 --> 00:31:19,533
Speaker 16: hundred and eighty year history that the America's Cup has.

690
00:31:20,773 --> 00:31:25,053
Speaker 16: But obviously it's a new product sale GP. But it's

691
00:31:25,173 --> 00:31:27,733
Speaker 16: growing in its success and you have to start somewhere,

692
00:31:28,613 --> 00:31:31,373
Speaker 16: and I from my perspective, I just see the growth.

693
00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:33,693
Speaker 16: I mean, I understand the viewership now has grown to

694
00:31:33,773 --> 00:31:38,213
Speaker 16: something like over two hundred and twenty million viewers internationally.

695
00:31:38,293 --> 00:31:41,653
Speaker 16: Now that's substantive for what is really a niche sport.

696
00:31:41,813 --> 00:31:44,133
Speaker 16: So you know, the vast majority of those viewers are

697
00:31:44,173 --> 00:31:48,373
Speaker 16: not sailings. The people who are entertained by what they're seeing,

698
00:31:48,453 --> 00:31:52,333
Speaker 16: the splash and the crash, the sort of the competition

699
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:54,573
Speaker 16: where you don't know who's going to win from one

700
00:31:54,813 --> 00:31:59,173
Speaker 16: competition to the next, and that's really what sporting entertainment

701
00:31:59,253 --> 00:32:02,733
Speaker 16: in the global marketplace is all about now. So sale

702
00:32:02,813 --> 00:32:06,133
Speaker 16: GPS making great inroads. You can never replace the it's

703
00:32:06,133 --> 00:32:09,053
Speaker 16: a little bit analogous quite frankly to the RAND for shield. Right,

704
00:32:09,253 --> 00:32:12,613
Speaker 16: you can't replace that history in rugby. But but the

705
00:32:12,693 --> 00:32:17,333
Speaker 16: super rugby kind of product arguably has become a more

706
00:32:17,453 --> 00:32:21,853
Speaker 16: high profile competitive professional rugby event than the ran fairly shield.

707
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:24,613
Speaker 16: So perhaps there's an analogy there for where things might

708
00:32:24,693 --> 00:32:26,653
Speaker 16: go sal GP versus the America's Cup.

709
00:32:27,013 --> 00:32:29,213
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much for your time. Mark Aram's

710
00:32:29,733 --> 00:32:32,373
Speaker 2: a ut sailing professor. And look, we've got to go

711
00:32:32,453 --> 00:32:35,853
Speaker 2: back to the shark situation before Calvin was worried about

712
00:32:36,053 --> 00:32:40,933
Speaker 2: rare sharks and pique thee. Calvin has the story completely

713
00:32:40,973 --> 00:32:42,493
Speaker 2: wrong since the text of the boat that hit a

714
00:32:42,573 --> 00:32:45,293
Speaker 2: shark was a moth class sailing in the World Champs

715
00:32:45,533 --> 00:32:50,093
Speaker 2: off Funger poor, this is this is this person. We've

716
00:32:50,093 --> 00:32:52,373
Speaker 2: also heard that there was an Australia, but anyway, there

717
00:32:52,453 --> 00:32:56,133
Speaker 2: was no There was no sale GP boats fullitting sharks

718
00:32:56,253 --> 00:32:57,253
Speaker 2: in the in the harbor.

719
00:32:57,293 --> 00:32:58,733
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we don't have to worry about that, and

720
00:32:58,773 --> 00:33:00,893
Speaker 3: certainly no sharks going up the White Cutou River as

721
00:33:00,933 --> 00:33:04,893
Speaker 3: far as I know anyway. Yeah, that dirty dolphin down, sir,

722
00:33:06,053 --> 00:33:08,213
Speaker 3: thank you very much, by the way, Calvin for that information.

723
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:11,653
Speaker 3: And even though it was terribly wrong. And so you've

724
00:33:11,693 --> 00:33:14,213
Speaker 3: heard what Mark Rooms had to say, Sailing professor, and

725
00:33:14,453 --> 00:33:16,493
Speaker 3: he made the point there that as long as you

726
00:33:16,613 --> 00:33:20,653
Speaker 3: get the revenue back and the investment back into Auckland City,

727
00:33:20,693 --> 00:33:23,493
Speaker 3: and I think for a million dollars or just over

728
00:33:23,533 --> 00:33:26,133
Speaker 3: a million bucks plus. And I know you can argue

729
00:33:26,173 --> 00:33:29,373
Speaker 3: about how many people are staying in hotels and ten

730
00:33:29,453 --> 00:33:32,733
Speaker 3: thousand visitor nights, etc. Et cetera, et cetera, but surely

731
00:33:32,813 --> 00:33:34,133
Speaker 3: you're getting that million bucks back.

732
00:33:34,173 --> 00:33:35,733
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, in the America's Cup was well over a

733
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:39,613
Speaker 2: hundred million. Yeah, I think you're looking potentially two one

734
00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:42,493
Speaker 2: hundred million. But as this Texas says on nine two

735
00:33:42,613 --> 00:33:46,373
Speaker 2: nine two ten, as they're claiming ten thousand visitor knights,

736
00:33:46,413 --> 00:33:48,133
Speaker 2: they'd like to see the receipts on that, because.

737
00:33:47,933 --> 00:33:50,933
Speaker 3: They do make big claims like that, it's hard to prove. Yeah,

738
00:33:51,093 --> 00:33:52,613
Speaker 3: what do they have someone at the door saying are

739
00:33:52,653 --> 00:33:54,813
Speaker 3: you here for sale? GP? Okay, that's one.

740
00:33:54,853 --> 00:33:57,213
Speaker 2: Are you sure this isn't a staycation from Mount Roscool?

741
00:33:57,213 --> 00:33:58,213
Speaker 2: You're definitely from out of town?

742
00:33:58,933 --> 00:33:59,053
Speaker 11: Oh?

743
00:33:59,173 --> 00:34:00,973
Speaker 3: Had one hundred eighty ten eighty as the number to call.

744
00:34:01,053 --> 00:34:02,133
Speaker 3: It is a quarter to two.

745
00:34:04,053 --> 00:34:07,413
Speaker 1: The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and

746
00:34:07,773 --> 00:34:08,733
Speaker 1: everything in between.

747
00:34:09,053 --> 00:34:10,973
Speaker 4: Matt and Taylor afternoons with the.

748
00:34:11,053 --> 00:34:14,453
Speaker 1: Volvo XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to

749
00:34:14,533 --> 00:34:15,533
Speaker 1: comfort news talks.

750
00:34:15,573 --> 00:34:16,973
Speaker 4: They'd be good.

751
00:34:17,053 --> 00:34:19,413
Speaker 3: Afternoon twelve minutes to two. We're talking about the sale

752
00:34:19,493 --> 00:34:21,933
Speaker 3: GP in the future of it in Auckland City. It's

753
00:34:22,013 --> 00:34:24,692
Speaker 3: going to take some investment from the council through rate

754
00:34:24,773 --> 00:34:25,172
Speaker 3: pay money.

755
00:34:25,373 --> 00:34:29,533
Speaker 2: Well, Auckland Unlimited committed one million to host this weekend's

756
00:34:29,613 --> 00:34:33,173
Speaker 2: sale GP Reghetta according to this article here, and it

757
00:34:33,253 --> 00:34:36,333
Speaker 2: claims ten thousand visitor nights and to twenty five thousand

758
00:34:36,333 --> 00:34:39,773
Speaker 2: people went down there and a forecast a return of

759
00:34:39,813 --> 00:34:44,172
Speaker 2: five point two million in GDP contribution. So we're asking

760
00:34:44,213 --> 00:34:46,373
Speaker 2: the question, do you think rate payer money should go

761
00:34:46,373 --> 00:34:47,253
Speaker 2: towards this kind of thing?

762
00:34:47,413 --> 00:34:50,453
Speaker 3: Yep, Jimmy, you went along. How was it?

763
00:34:51,933 --> 00:34:54,853
Speaker 12: Oh, mate, Stanie? I got two parts. I don't know

764
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:57,893
Speaker 12: about the financial side, mate, I'm not one of those bottoms.

765
00:34:57,933 --> 00:35:01,213
Speaker 12: But the place was just puzzling now there and we

766
00:35:01,293 --> 00:35:03,933
Speaker 12: were big screens. The boats are right in front there.

767
00:35:04,013 --> 00:35:08,573
Speaker 12: Even if you've got no money. It was a wonderful day. Yeah,

768
00:35:08,573 --> 00:35:10,893
Speaker 12: I took my thirteen year old daughter. We're in the

769
00:35:11,013 --> 00:35:16,413
Speaker 12: stands and absolutely wonderful show. I mean it's not much

770
00:35:16,453 --> 00:35:18,933
Speaker 12: different than taking my boy with the All Blacks. I

771
00:35:19,013 --> 00:35:21,493
Speaker 12: mean it costs a bit of money, but just the

772
00:35:21,613 --> 00:35:25,053
Speaker 12: shit enjoyment and the professionalism and how it went, it

773
00:35:25,213 --> 00:35:25,773
Speaker 12: was wonderful.

774
00:35:25,853 --> 00:35:25,973
Speaker 14: You know.

775
00:35:26,373 --> 00:35:29,133
Speaker 12: It was really probably one of the top experiences the

776
00:35:29,253 --> 00:35:33,853
Speaker 12: last twelve months from me at least. So there's also

777
00:35:34,133 --> 00:35:36,573
Speaker 12: a sailing will get her on their encouraging children to sail,

778
00:35:36,653 --> 00:35:38,973
Speaker 12: and they had some kids on the stage and the

779
00:35:39,053 --> 00:35:41,333
Speaker 12: course that's relatable and my daughter was loving it. So

780
00:35:42,133 --> 00:35:46,173
Speaker 12: there was an IRS i think it was, and they

781
00:35:46,253 --> 00:35:49,773
Speaker 12: had kids there from all over New Zealand and the

782
00:35:49,853 --> 00:35:51,692
Speaker 12: top couple got to get on the stage and we're

783
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:55,732
Speaker 12: on TV and we're just an amazing event. And as

784
00:35:55,773 --> 00:35:58,333
Speaker 12: he's got kids that got any kind of interesting soiling

785
00:35:58,373 --> 00:36:00,172
Speaker 12: at all, they would have loved it. My little daughter

786
00:36:00,333 --> 00:36:03,493
Speaker 12: was tapping her legs and shouting, made the flags and

787
00:36:04,013 --> 00:36:07,172
Speaker 12: shared the greatest time. And as a father, you know, yeah,

788
00:36:07,213 --> 00:36:09,772
Speaker 12: it was expensive, yep, by god, she had a great

789
00:36:09,813 --> 00:36:12,333
Speaker 12: time and can we go again next year there. Yeah, yeah,

790
00:36:12,373 --> 00:36:14,213
Speaker 12: well if they come back, we'll go. And there was

791
00:36:14,253 --> 00:36:16,213
Speaker 12: a highlight, you know, she said, look that there's my

792
00:36:16,293 --> 00:36:19,292
Speaker 12: birthday prison dad. If you want that's all good swear

793
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:21,573
Speaker 12: to you might have to be. But she loved it

794
00:36:21,693 --> 00:36:26,013
Speaker 12: that much. And they they were saying these guys from

795
00:36:26,173 --> 00:36:29,373
Speaker 12: RS the kids sailing that they came across for. They

796
00:36:29,413 --> 00:36:33,933
Speaker 12: were saying that they had Tom the American skipper was

797
00:36:33,973 --> 00:36:37,293
Speaker 12: there talking the kids and love Makay the key we female.

798
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:41,733
Speaker 12: I thought she was there. And afterwards they had they

799
00:36:41,813 --> 00:36:44,613
Speaker 12: were signing autographs for all the kids and then the

800
00:36:44,693 --> 00:36:46,732
Speaker 12: kids didn't realize that the wine was in the middle

801
00:36:46,773 --> 00:36:48,773
Speaker 12: of the GP and on TV and all that. And

802
00:36:48,813 --> 00:36:53,053
Speaker 12: then afterwards they had a woman Inspire thing where they

803
00:36:53,093 --> 00:36:57,613
Speaker 12: had the honing female skipper from Brazil something like my team.

804
00:36:58,173 --> 00:37:00,053
Speaker 12: She was there having to talk to the kids and

805
00:37:00,493 --> 00:37:04,573
Speaker 12: you know, trying to encourage girls into it was so professional,

806
00:37:04,693 --> 00:37:07,973
Speaker 12: so well run. Look, I don't know how the financial

807
00:37:08,013 --> 00:37:11,533
Speaker 12: side sticks up, but as a as an event, I'm

808
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:13,652
Speaker 12: a long time right and seeing mate, but I'd say

809
00:37:13,693 --> 00:37:15,013
Speaker 12: it was good of going to the All Blacks on

810
00:37:15,093 --> 00:37:15,373
Speaker 12: my son.

811
00:37:15,453 --> 00:37:17,853
Speaker 4: It was just that's awesome, professional well run.

812
00:37:18,013 --> 00:37:19,053
Speaker 12: It was just gold.

813
00:37:19,173 --> 00:37:23,973
Speaker 2: So how old's your daughter? Howl's your daughter? Jimmy thirteen? Right,

814
00:37:24,093 --> 00:37:26,013
Speaker 2: and she loved it. So did you buy did you

815
00:37:26,093 --> 00:37:28,053
Speaker 2: buy the stand seats? But that's about one hundred and

816
00:37:28,053 --> 00:37:28,973
Speaker 2: eighty bucks eat, is that right?

817
00:37:29,733 --> 00:37:31,692
Speaker 12: And yeah, it was about one hundred and hundred each

818
00:37:31,773 --> 00:37:34,453
Speaker 12: year worth every seat, mate. I mean, you know we're

819
00:37:34,493 --> 00:37:37,333
Speaker 12: not rich people and get to save my money. But yeah,

820
00:37:37,813 --> 00:37:39,453
Speaker 12: it's something my daughter will never forget.

821
00:37:39,693 --> 00:37:41,652
Speaker 2: She'll remember that for those moments when you take your

822
00:37:41,693 --> 00:37:44,493
Speaker 2: kids to sporting events, especially novel ones that they you

823
00:37:44,533 --> 00:37:46,093
Speaker 2: know they're not going to see a lot. They remember.

824
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:47,973
Speaker 2: I remember being taken to sporting events when I was

825
00:37:48,013 --> 00:37:49,893
Speaker 2: a kid, and you remember them for you for your

826
00:37:50,093 --> 00:37:53,653
Speaker 2: whole life. That that that's fantas that's fantastic. Yeah, And

827
00:37:54,093 --> 00:37:56,293
Speaker 2: they do it so well, to say GP, because they

828
00:37:56,773 --> 00:37:59,973
Speaker 2: ship everything over so that village, they build the media thing,

829
00:38:00,213 --> 00:38:03,453
Speaker 2: they stands, everything, they've honed that around the world and

830
00:38:03,533 --> 00:38:05,173
Speaker 2: so they ship it and they rebuild it there so

831
00:38:05,253 --> 00:38:07,732
Speaker 2: they just know what's the perfect experience and how good

832
00:38:07,813 --> 00:38:10,013
Speaker 2: is it when those boats are racing straight towards the

833
00:38:10,373 --> 00:38:11,373
Speaker 2: stands Jimmy.

834
00:38:12,293 --> 00:38:14,013
Speaker 12: And yeah, and it was a bit bit loose and

835
00:38:14,093 --> 00:38:16,493
Speaker 12: you know, I got a some big splash down and

836
00:38:16,973 --> 00:38:17,493
Speaker 12: it's terrify.

837
00:38:17,573 --> 00:38:19,693
Speaker 2: It's actually scary to watch when when I'm in Littleton,

838
00:38:19,733 --> 00:38:22,253
Speaker 2: I was watching it going and you're watching it and

839
00:38:22,773 --> 00:38:25,973
Speaker 2: it is exhilarating. You cannot believe what's happening in front

840
00:38:26,013 --> 00:38:29,213
Speaker 2: of you. It's so incredibly awesome to watch. Irrespective, as

841
00:38:29,293 --> 00:38:32,973
Speaker 2: you say, Jimmy, of the rate pass situation or whatever

842
00:38:33,013 --> 00:38:34,652
Speaker 2: it takes to get into Auckland, or whether we agree

843
00:38:34,693 --> 00:38:37,693
Speaker 2: with it or not, the actual product is phenomenal.

844
00:38:37,773 --> 00:38:40,173
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Jimmy. Thank you very much. Mate. We've got

845
00:38:40,213 --> 00:38:42,493
Speaker 3: to take a break, but awesome to have you on.

846
00:38:44,413 --> 00:38:47,013
Speaker 3: Go well, Jimmy, it is seven minutes to two beck

847
00:38:47,133 --> 00:38:48,973
Speaker 3: very shortly. You're listening to Matt and Tyler. Oh, one

848
00:38:49,053 --> 00:38:51,893
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call

849
00:38:52,053 --> 00:38:52,813
Speaker 3: back in the moment.

850
00:38:54,173 --> 00:38:58,013
Speaker 1: Mattie Tyler Adams taking your calls on eight hundred eighty

851
00:38:58,093 --> 00:39:01,333
Speaker 1: ten eighty Matt and Tayler Afternoons with the Volvo XC

852
00:39:01,493 --> 00:39:06,253
Speaker 1: ninety tick every box, a seamless experience awaits news DOGSB.

853
00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:10,453
Speaker 3: News, DOORGSB five too. We're talking about sale GP and

854
00:39:10,813 --> 00:39:13,333
Speaker 3: or cland is it worth the investment from rate payer

855
00:39:13,493 --> 00:39:15,773
Speaker 3: money divided on the text machine or.

856
00:39:15,773 --> 00:39:18,093
Speaker 2: The sex it says high. The answer is no, Council

857
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:20,333
Speaker 2: shouldn't be friending up money. The companies are wealthy enough

858
00:39:20,413 --> 00:39:23,053
Speaker 2: to pay their own way hosting the event in any city.

859
00:39:23,093 --> 00:39:25,773
Speaker 2: The tickets were very expensive, seats were small and cramped.

860
00:39:25,893 --> 00:39:28,813
Speaker 2: I've said in those seats are pretty comfortable. Racing was okay,

861
00:39:28,893 --> 00:39:32,133
Speaker 2: but it's a short timeframe that's actually on. Blah blah

862
00:39:32,173 --> 00:39:35,253
Speaker 2: blah blah. You get it, okay, thanks your text. Yeah,

863
00:39:35,293 --> 00:39:37,133
Speaker 2: they can afford it, but they can also go to

864
00:39:37,213 --> 00:39:39,293
Speaker 2: other cities. They can just not come to New Zealand.

865
00:39:39,333 --> 00:39:41,093
Speaker 2: So it's one of those things we decide whether we

866
00:39:41,133 --> 00:39:43,013
Speaker 2: want to have it or not. They will just go

867
00:39:43,053 --> 00:39:44,573
Speaker 2: somewhere else if we don't want to and then have it.

868
00:39:44,693 --> 00:39:47,413
Speaker 3: And aside from the financial benefit, and this one's hard

869
00:39:47,573 --> 00:39:51,053
Speaker 3: to measure, but clearly the well being benefit is a thing.

870
00:39:51,173 --> 00:39:53,013
Speaker 3: I know that sounds a bit woo woo and how

871
00:39:53,053 --> 00:39:56,373
Speaker 3: do you measure that? But clearly it's there when you've

872
00:39:56,373 --> 00:39:57,973
Speaker 3: got to love your city. We've got we're in a

873
00:39:58,013 --> 00:40:00,533
Speaker 3: country that's divided. We're a country where everyone's having a

874
00:40:00,573 --> 00:40:03,133
Speaker 3: going at each other. We've become the most wingingest nation

875
00:40:03,293 --> 00:40:06,613
Speaker 3: on planet Earth where I think anytime we can come

876
00:40:06,653 --> 00:40:09,573
Speaker 3: together and celebrate and see how beauty for our city

877
00:40:09,733 --> 00:40:11,893
Speaker 3: is and our country is, and people come together and

878
00:40:11,973 --> 00:40:14,533
Speaker 3: celebrate the excellence that we clearly show in sailing.

879
00:40:14,893 --> 00:40:16,773
Speaker 2: And this text here sums it up for me. We

880
00:40:16,853 --> 00:40:19,253
Speaker 2: traveled up to Auckland from Topor, spent the weekend at

881
00:40:19,253 --> 00:40:21,293
Speaker 2: the Viada Act eight and drunk at the restaurants. The

882
00:40:21,373 --> 00:40:24,373
Speaker 2: whole place was buzzing. It was so exciting. We had

883
00:40:24,453 --> 00:40:25,813
Speaker 2: a fantastic time.

884
00:40:25,813 --> 00:40:28,413
Speaker 3: There we go, and what a good place to leave it.

885
00:40:28,573 --> 00:40:31,013
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your teach some phone calls

886
00:40:31,053 --> 00:40:33,533

Speaker 4: With the Volvo XC nighty on News Talk SEV.

892
00:40:49,053 --> 00:40:53,772
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, welcome back. Great to be back. Mets love

893
00:40:53,933 --> 00:40:56,133
Speaker 3: the last hour about sale GP. But we are going

894
00:40:56,213 --> 00:40:56,973
Speaker 3: to move forward.

895
00:40:57,213 --> 00:40:59,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, we certainly are, and we're going to look at this.

896
00:40:59,733 --> 00:41:01,853
Speaker 2: You might have seen the story. It was interesting A

897
00:41:01,893 --> 00:41:04,173
Speaker 2: teen exchange student flying home from the United States was

898
00:41:04,253 --> 00:41:06,933
Speaker 2: left stranded at Los Angeles Airport for thirty hours after

899
00:41:06,973 --> 00:41:09,413
Speaker 2: Aline stuff with how to hope voucher because she was

900
00:41:09,493 --> 00:41:12,533
Speaker 2: too young to book and alone and boy, this sounds

901
00:41:12,613 --> 00:41:15,613
Speaker 2: rough for the young young the young lady and kept

902
00:41:15,653 --> 00:41:17,453
Speaker 2: her from its lounge because she was too young to

903
00:41:17,493 --> 00:41:20,573
Speaker 2: be left alone around alcohol. That's one of those crazy,

904
00:41:20,853 --> 00:41:24,413
Speaker 2: ridiculous things where you know you have alcohol laws to

905
00:41:24,453 --> 00:41:27,373
Speaker 2: try and protect people, but then you leave someone out

906
00:41:27,533 --> 00:41:30,013
Speaker 2: and out and about in a scary airport because you

907
00:41:30,053 --> 00:41:34,173
Speaker 2: can't be near alcohol. Ridiculous obviously, But we want to

908
00:41:34,213 --> 00:41:38,893
Speaker 2: talk about the wider thing on student exchange. Student exchange

909
00:41:38,933 --> 00:41:40,413
Speaker 2: things is a huge thing when you go over when

910
00:41:40,453 --> 00:41:43,453
Speaker 2: you're when you're a kid, between about fifteen and eighteen,

911
00:41:43,493 --> 00:41:45,853
Speaker 2: I think is the normal age group that you that

912
00:41:45,893 --> 00:41:47,333
Speaker 2: you'll go over and you'll spend a year at a

913
00:41:47,333 --> 00:41:50,652
Speaker 2: school in another country. Maybe it's the United States of America.

914
00:41:51,253 --> 00:41:53,013
Speaker 2: You know, I'm looking at one that will send you

915
00:41:53,133 --> 00:41:55,933
Speaker 2: to Norway, you can go to Japan, France, you go

916
00:41:56,053 --> 00:41:58,413
Speaker 2: to all kinds of places and having an experience when

917
00:41:58,493 --> 00:42:01,133
Speaker 2: when you're a kid. I'd like to we'd like to

918
00:42:01,173 --> 00:42:02,813
Speaker 2: hear from people that have done it, and parents that

919
00:42:02,893 --> 00:42:04,973
Speaker 2: are thinking about seeing their kids or have had said

920
00:42:04,973 --> 00:42:07,533
Speaker 2: they've sent their kids there, what it's like, Because I mean,

921
00:42:07,533 --> 00:42:10,253
Speaker 2: you've got the situation our kids overseas, there's still a child,

922
00:42:10,293 --> 00:42:13,733
Speaker 2: they're under eighteen and they're off in the world by themselves.

923
00:42:14,133 --> 00:42:16,453
Speaker 2: That takes quite a brave In these times of helicopter

924
00:42:16,573 --> 00:42:19,093
Speaker 2: pearances that are driving their kids to school and packing

925
00:42:19,173 --> 00:42:22,933
Speaker 2: them up and moody coddling them. The coddling of the

926
00:42:23,053 --> 00:42:26,413
Speaker 2: New Zealand child is rampant. There are still parents that

927
00:42:26,573 --> 00:42:28,613
Speaker 2: just go, I'm going to let my kid and good

928
00:42:28,653 --> 00:42:31,493
Speaker 2: on them. I think, go over and spend a year

929
00:42:31,653 --> 00:42:33,653
Speaker 2: in another country because that person is going to be

930
00:42:34,133 --> 00:42:36,333
Speaker 2: have a much wider mind for doing it that young

931
00:42:36,493 --> 00:42:38,173
Speaker 2: than go. So you look at it. If you go

932
00:42:38,253 --> 00:42:41,293
Speaker 2: to one of these sites where they sell these opportunities

933
00:42:41,333 --> 00:42:44,213
Speaker 2: and organize them, are you dreaming of going on exchange

934
00:42:44,253 --> 00:42:46,253
Speaker 2: here in the USA? As a high school student in

935
00:42:46,293 --> 00:42:49,053
Speaker 2: the USA, you quickly realize that much of what you've

936
00:42:49,093 --> 00:42:51,453
Speaker 2: seen in the movies is actually true. You will experience

937
00:42:51,533 --> 00:42:55,733
Speaker 2: high school spirit, cheerleaders, your experience cheerleaders, and the iconic

938
00:42:55,893 --> 00:42:58,973
Speaker 2: yellow school buses. So I mean it does seem like

939
00:42:59,013 --> 00:43:03,613
Speaker 2: a dream. And I know friends of mine have spent years,

940
00:43:04,293 --> 00:43:07,253
Speaker 2: you know, exchange years when they're at school in the

941
00:43:07,333 --> 00:43:10,173
Speaker 2: States and about it. Yes, friend of mine ended up

942
00:43:10,173 --> 00:43:13,133
Speaker 2: shooting guns out of the side of a pickup truck

943
00:43:13,213 --> 00:43:13,733
Speaker 2: in Texas.

944
00:43:15,813 --> 00:43:17,293
Speaker 3: That's what you do in Texas, apparently.

945
00:43:17,373 --> 00:43:17,573
Speaker 7: Yeah.

946
00:43:17,973 --> 00:43:20,093
Speaker 2: I had a friend that had an exchange here in Japan,

947
00:43:20,213 --> 00:43:22,573
Speaker 2: lent the language and was basically became a member of

948
00:43:22,653 --> 00:43:24,453
Speaker 2: that family for the rest of his life. And you

949
00:43:24,573 --> 00:43:26,813
Speaker 2: go over and work over there all the time, spoke

950
00:43:27,173 --> 00:43:29,333
Speaker 2: flowing Japanese and started a company back here where he

951
00:43:29,613 --> 00:43:31,773
Speaker 2: brought people over Japan from Japan to do it. So

952
00:43:31,853 --> 00:43:33,253
Speaker 2: it's an incredible thing to do.

953
00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:35,373
Speaker 3: I love the idea of it. And as you say,

954
00:43:35,413 --> 00:43:38,413
Speaker 3: I mean the amount of experience that sixteen seventeen year

955
00:43:38,453 --> 00:43:40,933
Speaker 3: old would get by doing that, and effectively they go

956
00:43:41,013 --> 00:43:43,413
Speaker 3: to school, right, So if you hook up with a

957
00:43:43,493 --> 00:43:46,653
Speaker 3: family in Texas, then you go to that child's school,

958
00:43:47,013 --> 00:43:49,893
Speaker 3: you get incorporated into the community. I mean, man, you

959
00:43:50,013 --> 00:43:52,853
Speaker 3: cannot get a better experience than that for a seventeen

960
00:43:52,893 --> 00:43:56,653
Speaker 3: year old. But pick to your point, that's gutsy for appearance, Yeah.

961
00:43:56,573 --> 00:44:00,213
Speaker 2: Especially gets slightly better, especially since the parents of today

962
00:44:00,293 --> 00:44:05,933
Speaker 2: are absolute chickens and absolutely terrified of their precious little children.

963
00:44:06,573 --> 00:44:08,293
Speaker 2: So I just wonder if less people are doing it,

964
00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:12,013
Speaker 2: because you know, even me, I'm thinking, boy oh boy,

965
00:44:12,053 --> 00:44:14,533
Speaker 2: I'd love my kid to have that experience, but it

966
00:44:14,533 --> 00:44:16,413
Speaker 2: will be a lot for me to just sign off.

967
00:44:16,893 --> 00:44:19,893
Speaker 3: Yeah kah. Well, even this situation this team ended up

968
00:44:19,933 --> 00:44:23,333
Speaker 3: in and granted she was stranded at LAX for thirty

969
00:44:23,413 --> 00:44:26,413
Speaker 3: hours and the airline staff cock fed up well and truly,

970
00:44:27,053 --> 00:44:29,573
Speaker 3: but that's an experience she's taken away. I mean, talk

971
00:44:29,573 --> 00:44:32,533
Speaker 3: about building resilience. You don't get better than being stranded

972
00:44:32,573 --> 00:44:34,413
Speaker 3: in an airport for thirty hours and been let down

973
00:44:34,413 --> 00:44:36,533
Speaker 3: by an airport staff to say, hey, I've grown as

974
00:44:36,533 --> 00:44:36,893
Speaker 3: a person.

975
00:44:37,053 --> 00:44:39,373
Speaker 2: So here you go. Canada. According to this site, twenty

976
00:44:39,413 --> 00:44:41,413
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars to send your kids to Canada for

977
00:44:41,453 --> 00:44:45,893
Speaker 2: a year. The US is twenty thousand, Austria fifteen thousand,

978
00:44:46,013 --> 00:44:51,133
Speaker 2: one way Austria, Sarch, Denmark seventeen thousand, Finland seventeen thousand, France,

979
00:44:51,373 --> 00:44:57,893
Speaker 2: twenty one thousand, Germany seventeen thousand, Ireland that'd be cool, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain.

980
00:44:57,933 --> 00:45:00,413
Speaker 2: These are all the places you can send your kids, Sweden, Switzerland, UK,

981
00:45:00,613 --> 00:45:03,253
Speaker 2: Costa Rica, Argentina, China, Japan, Australia.

982
00:45:03,413 --> 00:45:05,653
Speaker 3: Yeah, this might be slightly different, but a lot of

983
00:45:05,733 --> 00:45:08,613
Speaker 3: Maves sisters did the aor peer. One went to France.

984
00:45:08,653 --> 00:45:11,493
Speaker 3: I believe she might have been seventeen or eighteen and

985
00:45:11,573 --> 00:45:14,853
Speaker 3: went to be the aor peer for a particular family.

986
00:45:14,973 --> 00:45:17,333
Speaker 3: Then she learned the language, she looked after the children,

987
00:45:17,373 --> 00:45:19,573
Speaker 3: and then got to spend a bit of time in France,

988
00:45:19,813 --> 00:45:21,893
Speaker 3: hopefully traveling around with the family in question.

989
00:45:22,093 --> 00:45:23,813
Speaker 2: My friend got an all peer and it was the

990
00:45:24,053 --> 00:45:25,453
Speaker 2: or peer. I say that way, did you say it

991
00:45:25,693 --> 00:45:29,173
Speaker 2: is the right enough pe or pier or pier? I

992
00:45:29,213 --> 00:45:32,293
Speaker 2: think it's a anyway. And was the worst person in

993
00:45:32,373 --> 00:45:34,173
Speaker 2: the world, not the worst person with the most useless

994
00:45:34,213 --> 00:45:35,773
Speaker 2: person in the world. She was from France and he

995
00:45:35,853 --> 00:45:38,693
Speaker 2: ended up just getting an extra kid. She crashed the

996
00:45:38,773 --> 00:45:41,333
Speaker 2: car on the first day. She was out partying a

997
00:45:41,413 --> 00:45:43,493
Speaker 2: lot of the time, and he just send up instead

998
00:45:43,533 --> 00:45:45,813
Speaker 2: of solving his problem with his two children, he ended

999
00:45:45,853 --> 00:45:47,493
Speaker 2: up getting an extra kid a babysitter.

1000
00:45:47,573 --> 00:45:51,253
Speaker 3: He needed the babysit. Yeah, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

00:49:08,773 --> 00:49:11,293
Speaker 13: Yep, quite near the middle. It was minus forty five

1085
00:49:11,373 --> 00:49:12,773
Speaker 13: degrees the day I arrived.

1086
00:49:13,453 --> 00:49:15,053
Speaker 2: You've got to be careful that you don't let the

1087
00:49:15,093 --> 00:49:17,172
Speaker 2: cat out if you're an exchange student, because that cat

1088
00:49:17,213 --> 00:49:20,213
Speaker 2: will end up a catsicle. I understand.

1089
00:49:20,893 --> 00:49:23,053
Speaker 7: So how was I left?

1090
00:49:23,093 --> 00:49:26,013
Speaker 13: In January? And it was obviously a New Zealand day

1091
00:49:26,173 --> 00:49:28,293
Speaker 13: And it was my forty five when I arrived, and

1092
00:49:28,373 --> 00:49:30,413
Speaker 13: you just get put with another family. I didn't know

1093
00:49:30,453 --> 00:49:34,493
Speaker 13: how I was meeting And oh my god, we're still mates.

1094
00:49:34,533 --> 00:49:37,133
Speaker 13: I've still got all my Canadian friends. Oh wow, just

1095
00:49:37,253 --> 00:49:38,613
Speaker 13: the fixt year of my life.

1096
00:49:38,693 --> 00:49:38,853
Speaker 18: Yep?

1097
00:49:39,493 --> 00:49:41,893
Speaker 2: And so did what? How did you get the idea

1098
00:49:41,973 --> 00:49:43,293
Speaker 2: to go? Where did it come from? Where did the

1099
00:49:43,333 --> 00:49:44,493
Speaker 2: motivation to go come from?

1100
00:49:44,773 --> 00:49:48,453
Speaker 13: Well, I'm really really close to my parents, really great parents.

1101
00:49:48,533 --> 00:49:52,652
Speaker 13: But they also had traveled a lot in the younger years,

1102
00:49:52,773 --> 00:49:55,933
Speaker 13: so they had always encouraged me, taken me on trips

1103
00:49:56,013 --> 00:49:58,053
Speaker 13: and done stuff. And I just thought, oh, my goodness,

1104
00:49:58,093 --> 00:50:00,173
Speaker 13: this would be the best learning curve for me to

1105
00:50:00,293 --> 00:50:02,573
Speaker 13: step outside and to go and do my own bit

1106
00:50:02,653 --> 00:50:03,173
Speaker 13: of traveling.

1107
00:50:03,573 --> 00:50:05,613
Speaker 2: And back then it would the world was a bit

1108
00:50:05,693 --> 00:50:07,813
Speaker 2: more of a mysterious place, wasn't it. You were there's

1109
00:50:07,813 --> 00:50:14,652
Speaker 2: no where you can can't do zoom calls, you know, evens.

1110
00:50:12,973 --> 00:50:15,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, once a month.

1111
00:50:15,373 --> 00:50:17,252
Speaker 4: And we did you send letters?

1112
00:50:17,333 --> 00:50:18,093
Speaker 2: Did you write letters?

1113
00:50:18,333 --> 00:50:18,533
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1114
00:50:18,813 --> 00:50:19,533
Speaker 17: Yeah, we did it.

1115
00:50:19,893 --> 00:50:20,093
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1116
00:50:20,373 --> 00:50:22,413
Speaker 13: And we made these things called tape letters where you

1117
00:50:22,533 --> 00:50:24,172
Speaker 13: talked onto a tape and put the tape in them.

1118
00:50:25,253 --> 00:50:25,812
Speaker 3: That's great.

1119
00:50:26,093 --> 00:50:27,893
Speaker 2: So your parents, and you said, you say, you're really

1120
00:50:27,933 --> 00:50:30,653
Speaker 2: really close to your parents, But they'd done it themselves

1121
00:50:30,773 --> 00:50:32,373
Speaker 2: so that they weren't so scared about it.

1122
00:50:32,533 --> 00:50:34,413
Speaker 13: They haven't kind of done it, but they've done plenty

1123
00:50:34,453 --> 00:50:37,172
Speaker 13: of traveling when they'd met, and and so therefore they

1124
00:50:37,213 --> 00:50:40,813
Speaker 13: were right behind encouraging me. And and suddenly and asked

1125
00:50:40,893 --> 00:50:42,573
Speaker 13: us what my daughter's doing it right now?

1126
00:50:42,773 --> 00:50:42,933
Speaker 14: Oh?

1127
00:50:43,013 --> 00:50:44,253
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, where she gone?

1128
00:50:44,573 --> 00:50:47,013
Speaker 13: And and so I left, I never did save a

1129
00:50:47,133 --> 00:50:50,173
Speaker 13: form in New Zealand and she left halfway through seventh

1130
00:50:50,413 --> 00:50:53,253
Speaker 13: or you know, a year setting and she's doing it

1131
00:50:53,333 --> 00:50:55,212
Speaker 13: now too, and she is having the time of her life.

1132
00:50:55,253 --> 00:50:57,933
Speaker 13: And I just think it sets you up more life like,

1133
00:50:58,013 --> 00:51:00,293
Speaker 13: it just gives you a lot of resilience.

1134
00:51:00,533 --> 00:51:03,853
Speaker 10: Yeah, and we worry about it.

1135
00:51:04,253 --> 00:51:05,093
Speaker 2: Yeah where did she go?

1136
00:51:05,253 --> 00:51:05,293
Speaker 17: So?

1137
00:51:07,173 --> 00:51:07,373
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1138
00:51:07,453 --> 00:51:09,772
Speaker 2: Right, like what London or well where?

1139
00:51:10,653 --> 00:51:10,853
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1140
00:51:10,933 --> 00:51:13,773
Speaker 2: No, North, North, you'd want to go. You'd want to

1141
00:51:13,773 --> 00:51:16,973
Speaker 2: go north and experiences. Yeah, because teenagers, and we all

1142
00:51:17,053 --> 00:51:18,853
Speaker 2: know this, as they get very cynical, they think they

1143
00:51:18,973 --> 00:51:22,293
Speaker 2: know everything. They get massive Dona Krueger around fifteen. They've

1144
00:51:22,293 --> 00:51:24,293
Speaker 2: been listening to their parents their whole life, and then

1145
00:51:24,333 --> 00:51:29,253
Speaker 2: suddenly they know everything. So it's it's an amazing thing

1146
00:51:29,333 --> 00:51:30,453
Speaker 2: for them to go and see the rest of the

1147
00:51:30,493 --> 00:51:33,213
Speaker 2: world and realize that where they are is not the

1148
00:51:33,293 --> 00:51:35,773
Speaker 2: whole end of everything, and they don't understand everything. Was

1149
00:51:35,813 --> 00:51:36,533
Speaker 2: that your experience?

1150
00:51:36,773 --> 00:51:39,533
Speaker 13: And I just think it gives you resilience because you're

1151
00:51:39,573 --> 00:51:43,853
Speaker 13: put in situations where you're adjusting, you're excepting, you're learning,

1152
00:51:44,373 --> 00:51:47,893
Speaker 13: you're making new friends, you're going to a new doctor

1153
00:51:47,973 --> 00:51:50,253
Speaker 13: for a doctor's appointment, you're setting up a bank account

1154
00:51:50,293 --> 00:51:55,653
Speaker 13: in another country. You're really making your own way, and

1155
00:51:56,013 --> 00:51:58,533
Speaker 13: those are skills that you can't get any other way

1156
00:51:58,653 --> 00:51:59,093
Speaker 13: for life.

1157
00:51:59,453 --> 00:52:02,133
Speaker 3: So how did you end up in Saskatchewan? Was there

1158
00:52:02,293 --> 00:52:04,333
Speaker 3: kind of a list of places that you could go

1159
00:52:04,533 --> 00:52:06,613
Speaker 3: or families that you could exchange within?

1160
00:52:07,653 --> 00:52:07,733
Speaker 16: Ye?

1161
00:52:07,893 --> 00:52:09,773
Speaker 13: And I never back myself with a new language, so

1162
00:52:09,853 --> 00:52:11,772
Speaker 13: I always thought if I went English speaking, that would

1163
00:52:11,773 --> 00:52:15,333
Speaker 13: be a better option. But I also obviously met other students.

1164
00:52:15,373 --> 00:52:16,973
Speaker 13: So I've still got one of my best friends in

1165
00:52:17,053 --> 00:52:20,693
Speaker 13: Sweden and my daughter's about to go and travel the

1166
00:52:20,773 --> 00:52:23,772
Speaker 13: meat lot with her, you know, thirty years on, Yeah, wow,

1167
00:52:24,573 --> 00:52:25,413
Speaker 13: twenty five years on.

1168
00:52:25,653 --> 00:52:28,853
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty that's that's very cool.

1169
00:52:30,013 --> 00:52:32,212
Speaker 13: And only that I was with in Canada. We're still

1170
00:52:32,253 --> 00:52:35,093
Speaker 13: good friends. I had been out to stay last year.

1171
00:52:35,333 --> 00:52:38,333
Speaker 13: And obviously generations are coming down, so you know their

1172
00:52:38,453 --> 00:52:40,933
Speaker 13: kids as well. You know, we just you just create

1173
00:52:41,213 --> 00:52:43,812
Speaker 13: a web of people in context for your life.

1174
00:52:44,453 --> 00:52:46,453
Speaker 2: And you said it was the best year of your life.

1175
00:52:46,573 --> 00:52:48,493
Speaker 2: So you stand by that out of all the years

1176
00:52:48,533 --> 00:52:49,692
Speaker 2: in your life, that was the best one.

1177
00:52:50,493 --> 00:52:52,453
Speaker 13: Well, I probably do, because it was the one that

1178
00:52:52,613 --> 00:52:54,573
Speaker 13: sets you up for all the others. So when there's

1179
00:52:54,573 --> 00:52:56,813
Speaker 13: other hard suss that's gone on, in life, I've always

1180
00:52:56,853 --> 00:52:59,053
Speaker 13: looked back and thought, Jesus, you can get through that,

1181
00:52:59,373 --> 00:53:01,493
Speaker 13: You can get through that, you can get through anything.

1182
00:53:01,573 --> 00:53:01,733
Speaker 6: You know.

1183
00:53:01,813 --> 00:53:05,453
Speaker 13: It's a really good foundation for also loving New Zealand,

1184
00:53:05,493 --> 00:53:07,133
Speaker 13: because when you go and see the rest of the world,

1185
00:53:07,253 --> 00:53:09,333
Speaker 13: you think, oh, my goodness, were luckly this here's what

1186
00:53:09,413 --> 00:53:11,893
Speaker 13: we've got. But it's also made me think that any

1187
00:53:11,973 --> 00:53:13,933
Speaker 13: time in life, you could go and do this again.

1188
00:53:14,453 --> 00:53:16,413
Speaker 2: The thing about what you could yeah, the thing about

1189
00:53:16,453 --> 00:53:19,493
Speaker 2: you when you went though is you know, I was

1190
00:53:19,533 --> 00:53:22,093
Speaker 2: talking to this a friend recently. When you went used

1191
00:53:22,093 --> 00:53:24,493
Speaker 2: to go overseas, what you'd have to do is organized

1192
00:53:24,493 --> 00:53:26,373
Speaker 2: to meet someone at a time and you'd arrive at

1193
00:53:26,413 --> 00:53:28,733
Speaker 2: the airport or wherever, and if they weren't there, you

1194
00:53:28,773 --> 00:53:30,493
Speaker 2: were lost. There was no cell phones, there was no

1195
00:53:30,573 --> 00:53:32,732
Speaker 2: way to work it out, so there was a huge

1196
00:53:32,733 --> 00:53:35,453
Speaker 2: amount of trust going over there. Did the family pick

1197
00:53:35,493 --> 00:53:36,693
Speaker 2: you up at the airport when you arrived?

1198
00:53:37,813 --> 00:53:41,533
Speaker 13: Yep, yep, my dad, yep. I had also suggested that

1199
00:53:41,573 --> 00:53:44,253
Speaker 13: I might not have any animals, but I got two dogs,

1200
00:53:44,333 --> 00:53:45,413
Speaker 13: four cats, a rabbit.

1201
00:53:45,213 --> 00:53:45,652
Speaker 4: And a bird.

1202
00:53:46,173 --> 00:53:47,773
Speaker 2: Hey what over there?

1203
00:53:48,653 --> 00:53:48,853
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1204
00:53:49,013 --> 00:53:50,692
Speaker 3: What do you mean you adopted the animals? When you're

1205
00:53:50,693 --> 00:53:51,013
Speaker 3: over there?

1206
00:53:51,853 --> 00:53:53,653
Speaker 17: No like they were in the family.

1207
00:53:53,813 --> 00:53:58,493
Speaker 13: So I had assisted a family that had I'm not

1208
00:53:58,773 --> 00:53:59,773
Speaker 13: an animal.

1209
00:53:59,493 --> 00:54:03,493
Speaker 2: Lover, right, so November, that would be hugely irresponsible to

1210
00:54:03,533 --> 00:54:05,933
Speaker 2: go over there for a year and adopt five animals

1211
00:54:06,053 --> 00:54:11,013
Speaker 2: and abandoned them. Oh, thank you so much for you call, Susie. Yeah,

1212
00:54:11,053 --> 00:54:13,053
Speaker 2: all good and all the best of your daughter over there.

1213
00:54:13,053 --> 00:54:14,053
Speaker 2: I hope, she says, a great time.

1214
00:54:14,093 --> 00:54:16,413
Speaker 13: I worry about her now, but you can worry about

1215
00:54:16,413 --> 00:54:17,773
Speaker 13: your kid down the road and.

1216
00:54:18,893 --> 00:54:20,453
Speaker 2: One hundred percent yes, that's right.

1217
00:54:20,973 --> 00:54:24,053
Speaker 3: It doesn't make it easier now, Susie. With the technology

1218
00:54:24,253 --> 00:54:25,573
Speaker 3: is that if you want to get in touch with

1219
00:54:25,613 --> 00:54:27,333
Speaker 3: your daughter, it is a lot easier than it was

1220
00:54:27,373 --> 00:54:27,973
Speaker 3: in the nineties.

1221
00:54:28,653 --> 00:54:31,253
Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, it's amazing. I mean we have video zones,

1222
00:54:31,293 --> 00:54:33,853
Speaker 13: don't We can see where she's living, I can see

1223
00:54:33,893 --> 00:54:35,893
Speaker 13: what she's got, I can meet her friends, I can

1224
00:54:35,973 --> 00:54:38,772
Speaker 13: meet the people that are around here. It is so cold,

1225
00:54:38,853 --> 00:54:39,933
Speaker 13: it is just amazing.

1226
00:54:40,253 --> 00:54:42,293
Speaker 2: Actually thought, I've got to ask this question. Were there

1227
00:54:42,333 --> 00:54:45,093
Speaker 2: any hairy moments and did you misbehave what was the

1228
00:54:45,173 --> 00:54:47,813
Speaker 2: partying like and did you get yourself in any bad situations?

1229
00:54:48,693 --> 00:54:51,453
Speaker 13: No, you can always remove yourself from those ones. I

1230
00:54:51,533 --> 00:54:53,733
Speaker 13: mean there are definitely are lots of learning curves, but

1231
00:54:53,813 --> 00:54:56,493
Speaker 13: it's shipping aside from them, isn't it. It's making those goods,

1232
00:54:56,533 --> 00:54:57,893
Speaker 13: it's making those good decisions.

1233
00:54:58,133 --> 00:55:00,493
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mate ended up getting drunk and driving around

1234
00:55:00,493 --> 00:55:02,093
Speaker 2: and I pick up, as I was saying before, shooting

1235
00:55:02,133 --> 00:55:03,493
Speaker 2: people at people in Texas.

1236
00:55:04,653 --> 00:55:07,652
Speaker 3: You know, none of that, none of that. They were

1369
01:01:20,133 --> 01:01:23,293

01:02:08,013 --> 01:02:12,733
Speaker 10: Into grated joined the local joined the social basketball club locally,

1391
01:02:13,693 --> 01:02:17,533
Speaker 10: so he sort of played. He he really made the

1392
01:02:17,613 --> 01:02:20,253
Speaker 10: most of his time here, so he got involved in

1393
01:02:20,293 --> 01:02:22,613
Speaker 10: the community. He also got involved in the in the

1394
01:02:23,373 --> 01:02:25,813
Speaker 10: international with the international student buts and pieces, but he

1395
01:02:25,853 --> 01:02:28,853
Speaker 10: really did integrate himself. All the others just lived in

1396
01:02:28,933 --> 01:02:34,013
Speaker 10: their own bubble, probably too. One of them in particular

1397
01:02:34,133 --> 01:02:37,733
Speaker 10: was particularly self and self entitled and had really no

1398
01:02:39,613 --> 01:02:42,773
Speaker 10: really just didn't didn't even try to integrate or be

1399
01:02:42,893 --> 01:02:46,533
Speaker 10: part of our family. And and yeah, he was supposed

1400
01:02:46,533 --> 01:02:48,173
Speaker 10: to sill be with us now up until April, but

1401
01:02:49,253 --> 01:02:51,973
Speaker 10: his decision before Christmas was to go. He wanted to

1402
01:02:52,013 --> 01:02:55,373
Speaker 10: go to someone's another host family, and in Finnis it

1403
01:02:55,453 --> 01:02:57,373
Speaker 10: was probably the right course. He really wasn't fitting in

1404
01:02:57,453 --> 01:03:01,733
Speaker 10: with us in the slightest That wasn't particularly comfortable situation

1405
01:03:01,933 --> 01:03:02,373
Speaker 10: for anyone.

1406
01:03:02,613 --> 01:03:05,893
Speaker 3: So so how does it all Workstu? Did did they you?

1407
01:03:06,133 --> 01:03:09,493
Speaker 3: You put your profile on a particular didn't exchange website.

1408
01:03:09,533 --> 01:03:11,933
Speaker 3: Then these kids come to you and say, hey, we're

1409
01:03:12,013 --> 01:03:14,373
Speaker 3: interested in living with you and being part of that program,

1410
01:03:14,693 --> 01:03:15,613
Speaker 3: or does it work the other way?

1411
01:03:15,653 --> 01:03:16,293
Speaker 4: You get to pick.

1412
01:03:17,693 --> 01:03:20,333
Speaker 10: It was all done through a school, so we put

1413
01:03:20,373 --> 01:03:23,533
Speaker 10: a hand up and fill about going a whole lot

1414
01:03:23,573 --> 01:03:26,653
Speaker 10: of process. You go through application forms and police fitting

1415
01:03:26,733 --> 01:03:28,813
Speaker 10: and checks, and then they come and the house and

1416
01:03:29,773 --> 01:03:32,213
Speaker 10: and and you know, they come and do a site

1417
01:03:32,333 --> 01:03:34,413
Speaker 10: visit and make sure everyone in the happy with the situation.

1418
01:03:36,413 --> 01:03:38,853
Speaker 10: And yeah, and then we were. And then they would

1419
01:03:38,893 --> 01:03:40,453
Speaker 10: come to us the school and then come to us

1420
01:03:40,533 --> 01:03:44,493
Speaker 10: with a list, a short list of people they think

1421
01:03:44,573 --> 01:03:46,813
Speaker 10: might fits or who they they're looking for a home

1422
01:03:47,213 --> 01:03:51,693
Speaker 10: home for, and we would read up read their profile

1423
01:03:51,773 --> 01:03:54,333
Speaker 10: and and try and try your best to select the

1424
01:03:54,413 --> 01:03:57,973
Speaker 10: right But you think it's the right person, but you

1425
01:03:58,053 --> 01:04:00,973
Speaker 10: can't tell really realistically, You really can't tell until you

1426
01:04:01,093 --> 01:04:05,573
Speaker 10: actually until they land on the ground and are living

1427
01:04:05,733 --> 01:04:06,253
Speaker 10: living with you.

1428
01:04:06,813 --> 01:04:08,693
Speaker 2: And so, how does it work? Fine, how does it

1429
01:04:08,733 --> 01:04:10,653
Speaker 2: work financially? Because I'm looking at these sites now and

1430
01:04:10,693 --> 01:04:12,573
Speaker 2: the people that are doing it pay quite a lot

1431
01:04:12,613 --> 01:04:14,213
Speaker 2: of money to be involved. Does that any of that

1432
01:04:14,293 --> 01:04:17,533
Speaker 2: money go to the family for you know, feeding and housing.

1433
01:04:17,813 --> 01:04:24,653
Speaker 10: It wasn't bad, It wasn't bad. It was worthwhile. But yeah,

1434
01:04:24,813 --> 01:04:27,293
Speaker 10: we won't We probably won't do it again. My son's

1435
01:04:27,373 --> 01:04:29,413
Speaker 10: last year at school, when he's really focused on school.

1436
01:04:29,413 --> 01:04:32,613
Speaker 10: We don't really want another just any disruption?

1437
01:04:33,733 --> 01:04:34,373
Speaker 4: Was it?

1438
01:04:34,573 --> 01:04:38,813
Speaker 2: Language? And issue because did you have English speakers coming?

1439
01:04:38,813 --> 01:04:41,213
Speaker 2: You said you had two from Germany and one from Chile.

1440
01:04:41,733 --> 01:04:43,013
Speaker 2: Does that isolate them a little bit?

1441
01:04:44,293 --> 01:04:44,733
Speaker 18: Yeah, chill.

1442
01:04:44,893 --> 01:04:48,933
Speaker 10: The Chilli one was hard. He understood more than he did.

1443
01:04:49,053 --> 01:04:52,013
Speaker 10: We definitely know he understood more English than he would

1444
01:04:52,093 --> 01:04:56,173
Speaker 10: let on, but his spoken English wasn't the best. We

1445
01:04:56,373 --> 01:04:58,773
Speaker 10: had the situations where what he would tell the school

1446
01:04:58,773 --> 01:05:00,053
Speaker 10: and what he would tell his parents and what he

1447
01:05:00,053 --> 01:05:02,893
Speaker 10: would tell us was three different things, right, but none

1448
01:05:02,933 --> 01:05:05,333
Speaker 10: of us were stupid, So he was trying to play

1449
01:05:05,373 --> 01:05:09,093
Speaker 10: everyone off against each other and that that just doesn't

1450
01:05:09,093 --> 01:05:11,733
Speaker 10: work particularly well. But you know, we we get that.

1451
01:05:11,813 --> 01:05:14,333
Speaker 10: We definitely know he understood more than he would.

1452
01:05:14,093 --> 01:05:14,773
Speaker 4: Have let on.

1453
01:05:16,413 --> 01:05:18,613
Speaker 3: What's different and and and and the one?

1454
01:05:19,773 --> 01:05:20,573
Speaker 2: So you continue?

1455
01:05:20,613 --> 01:05:24,773
Speaker 10: So yeah, tell me one was he was come from

1456
01:05:24,773 --> 01:05:27,693
Speaker 10: a very wealthy family. He was he was likable, come

1457
01:05:27,733 --> 01:05:30,093
Speaker 10: a like all row he was. He was very personable,

1458
01:05:30,213 --> 01:05:33,453
Speaker 10: He was very likable. He very much been to the

1459
01:05:33,493 --> 01:05:35,533
Speaker 10: three months here at a bubble with the will the

1460
01:05:35,573 --> 01:05:38,573
Speaker 10: international students and the socialized for them, didn't really try

1461
01:05:38,613 --> 01:05:42,013
Speaker 10: to fit an integrate into New Zealand. He was only

1462
01:05:42,053 --> 01:05:44,173
Speaker 10: here for a short period, so I guess that really

1463
01:05:44,253 --> 01:05:49,133
Speaker 10: nuts and bolts it. It's a real mixed bag. Fourth one,

1464
01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:52,253
Speaker 10: the third one was amazing, he said, was for six

1465
01:05:52,333 --> 01:05:56,133
Speaker 10: months and he's he's one that has kept in contact

1466
01:05:56,373 --> 01:06:01,493
Speaker 10: and and yeah, touch his face and yeah, and he

1467
01:06:01,893 --> 01:06:02,213
Speaker 10: was great.

1468
01:06:03,733 --> 01:06:06,133
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is it the longest that would stay with you.

1469
01:06:06,213 --> 01:06:07,853
Speaker 3: Six months? It sounds like quite a long.

1470
01:06:07,773 --> 01:06:08,893
Speaker 4: Time we had.

1471
01:06:09,293 --> 01:06:09,613
Speaker 6: We had.

1472
01:06:10,053 --> 01:06:11,653
Speaker 10: We had two of them for six months, and I

1473
01:06:11,733 --> 01:06:15,293
Speaker 10: think there is at times you do have some that do.

1474
01:06:15,933 --> 01:06:17,773
Speaker 10: I'm aware of one or so that one or two

1475
01:06:17,813 --> 01:06:20,333
Speaker 10: that spent two years living doing the last two years

1476
01:06:20,453 --> 01:06:23,613
Speaker 10: of schooling. Some of them are only a year, some

1477
01:06:23,733 --> 01:06:25,133
Speaker 10: of the year, some of the three months, some of

1478
01:06:25,173 --> 01:06:27,093
Speaker 10: the six months. It seems to be just a bit

1479
01:06:27,133 --> 01:06:30,613
Speaker 10: of a mixed bag really depending on what they're after

1480
01:06:30,813 --> 01:06:33,173
Speaker 10: or what their appearents have prepared to pay.

1481
01:06:33,733 --> 01:06:37,693
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you've won out of four, really fulfilled your expectations.

1482
01:06:37,773 --> 01:06:41,093
Speaker 2: So overall positive.

1483
01:06:43,413 --> 01:06:45,813
Speaker 10: For the one we had a really good connection with

1484
01:06:45,853 --> 01:06:47,973
Speaker 10: the year that was positive, It was a good experiment.

1485
01:06:48,093 --> 01:06:48,293
Speaker 2: Really.

1486
01:06:48,493 --> 01:06:51,613
Speaker 10: Yeah, I say the last one really just felt plant.

1487
01:06:51,853 --> 01:06:56,533
Speaker 10: It didn't didn't work at all. He's east in New Zealand.

1488
01:06:56,573 --> 01:07:00,733
Speaker 10: He'll be another term at school. But I haven't heard

1489
01:07:00,853 --> 01:07:03,093
Speaker 10: a word like, I mean, he I was away on

1490
01:07:03,173 --> 01:07:05,973
Speaker 10: business when I got the text from my wife saying

1491
01:07:06,253 --> 01:07:09,533
Speaker 10: he he just he'd announced his leaving. It's that he's

1492
01:07:09,573 --> 01:07:12,013
Speaker 10: going somewhere else. It's like, so, yeah, that was about

1493
01:07:12,053 --> 01:07:14,213
Speaker 10: and then that was it. I'd never heard a word

1494
01:07:14,293 --> 01:07:16,133
Speaker 10: either from then. I got home from work that way,

1495
01:07:16,293 --> 01:07:17,773
Speaker 10: get home from being away and gone.

1496
01:07:18,133 --> 01:07:18,333
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1497
01:07:18,533 --> 01:07:20,093
Speaker 10: So it pretty Ouce stums up that one.

1498
01:07:20,973 --> 01:07:23,333
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for sharing that, Stew. That's interesting.

1499
01:07:23,613 --> 01:07:25,933
Speaker 2: It's because you think that the kid going away is

1500
01:07:25,973 --> 01:07:29,413
Speaker 2: getting the experience, but also if you've got someone from Germany, say,

1501
01:07:29,573 --> 01:07:31,933
Speaker 2: coming into your family, then that's also wider than the

1502
01:07:32,013 --> 01:07:34,413
Speaker 2: understanding of the world for the family as well. And

1503
01:07:35,053 --> 01:07:36,293
Speaker 2: the kid back here in New Zealand.

1504
01:07:36,373 --> 01:07:39,373
Speaker 3: And I like Stew's philosophy there. It was worth a punt.

1505
01:07:39,613 --> 01:07:41,613
Speaker 3: It was worth a punt one out of four bed

1506
01:07:41,853 --> 01:07:42,493
Speaker 3: or maybe it is.

1507
01:07:42,733 --> 01:07:42,933
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1508
01:07:43,253 --> 01:07:46,293

01:09:17,612 --> 01:09:20,013
Speaker 2: Oh so what the family was traveling around a bit

1543
01:09:20,053 --> 01:09:20,732
Speaker 2: and took you with them.

1544
01:09:22,333 --> 01:09:25,492
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I also did some short term exchanges to

1545
01:09:25,572 --> 01:09:30,412
Speaker 6: the smaller town like like rural towns and having the light.

1546
01:09:30,612 --> 01:09:34,732
Speaker 2: How old were you when you went over Grant seventeen? Ah, yeah, okay,

1547
01:09:34,772 --> 01:09:36,692
Speaker 2: And what was the experience like? Because imagined christ that

1548
01:09:36,812 --> 01:09:39,093
Speaker 2: in nineteen seventy eight, because that was you know, that

1549
01:09:39,213 --> 01:09:41,572
Speaker 2: was before that nineteen eighty four when we opened up

1550
01:09:41,572 --> 01:09:43,892
Speaker 2: the economy. You know, people used to say that they'd

1551
01:09:43,933 --> 01:09:45,692
Speaker 2: come to New Zealand, and New Zealand seemed like fifty

1552
01:09:45,812 --> 01:09:48,173
Speaker 2: years behind the United States. So it must have been

1553
01:09:48,612 --> 01:09:51,013
Speaker 2: quite exciting to go over and see all just the

1554
01:09:51,093 --> 01:09:53,293
Speaker 2: clothes and the toys and the culture and the TV.

1555
01:09:54,532 --> 01:09:56,933
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was great. I mean, it was definitely, like

1556
01:09:57,053 --> 01:09:59,213
Speaker 6: somebody said earlier, it was the best year of my life.

1557
01:10:01,013 --> 01:10:04,173
Speaker 6: It was interesting coming from a school that had a

1558
01:10:04,253 --> 01:10:07,652
Speaker 6: total role from year one to seventh form of six

1559
01:10:07,812 --> 01:10:11,053
Speaker 6: hundred into a school, the high school that had a

1560
01:10:11,173 --> 01:10:14,652
Speaker 6: roll of three and a half thousand. So that was

1561
01:10:14,692 --> 01:10:15,772
Speaker 6: a big culture shock.

1562
01:10:16,372 --> 01:10:20,652
Speaker 2: Was it the big cheerleader yellow bus experience that you

1563
01:10:20,732 --> 01:10:21,492
Speaker 2: get from movies?

1564
01:10:22,612 --> 01:10:23,732
Speaker 6: Yeah? Completely.

1565
01:10:25,612 --> 01:10:29,052
Speaker 3: It was a pretty scary for not just yourself, granted,

1566
01:10:29,173 --> 01:10:30,852
Speaker 3: for your parents or was it kind of just I

1567
01:10:30,893 --> 01:10:32,732
Speaker 3: mean it was a different time back then that they

1568
01:10:32,812 --> 01:10:35,692
Speaker 3: knew it was a big opportunity for you, and they

1569
01:10:35,772 --> 01:10:37,213
Speaker 3: trusted everything was going to be okay.

1570
01:10:38,572 --> 01:10:40,893
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, looking back at it, it was a

1571
01:10:40,973 --> 01:10:43,612
Speaker 6: big thing for my mother because she was on her own.

1572
01:10:43,772 --> 01:10:47,253
Speaker 6: My father had passed away a few years beforehand, and

1573
01:10:47,532 --> 01:10:49,253
Speaker 6: so it was a really big thing for her to

1574
01:10:49,412 --> 01:10:53,452
Speaker 6: let go to your son for a year, and bearing

1575
01:10:53,492 --> 01:10:55,812
Speaker 6: in mind that all we'd had was a photo and

1576
01:10:55,893 --> 01:11:00,492
Speaker 6: a letter from my family. In those days, there was

1577
01:11:00,572 --> 01:11:01,253
Speaker 6: nothing like that.

1578
01:11:02,293 --> 01:11:06,253
Speaker 8: And yeah, so it was kind of like there, but

1579
01:11:06,452 --> 01:11:08,253
Speaker 8: for the grace of God, going there was a more

1580
01:11:08,333 --> 01:11:10,652
Speaker 8: well there was a more higher than zero chance that

1581
01:11:10,692 --> 01:11:13,133
Speaker 8: you were getting billeted to a serial Killer's basically what

1582
01:11:13,213 --> 01:11:13,492
Speaker 8: you say.

1583
01:11:13,933 --> 01:11:18,372
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Fortunately I wasn't, and I actually went

1584
01:11:18,492 --> 01:11:22,133
Speaker 6: back in twenty nineteen to visit them. They're now in

1585
01:11:22,213 --> 01:11:22,852
Speaker 6: a rest home.

1586
01:11:23,133 --> 01:11:23,333
Speaker 2: Wow.

1587
01:11:23,692 --> 01:11:28,013
Speaker 6: And I visited my two host brothers because I had

1588
01:11:28,053 --> 01:11:32,013
Speaker 6: two brothers and the family that I lived with, and

1589
01:11:32,093 --> 01:11:33,812
Speaker 6: I went back to the high school that I went to,

1590
01:11:34,053 --> 01:11:36,932
Speaker 6: and yeah, it was great. I mean, it's an awesome experience.

1591
01:11:37,133 --> 01:11:42,053
Speaker 6: I would certainly recommend any teenager who wants to kind

1592
01:11:42,093 --> 01:11:46,013
Speaker 6: of widen their horizons and experience the world. It is

1593
01:11:46,053 --> 01:11:47,293
Speaker 6: a fantastic thing to do.

1594
01:11:47,652 --> 01:11:50,053
Speaker 2: So that was nineteen seventy eight, so there's been you know,

1595
01:11:50,612 --> 01:11:52,812
Speaker 2: we've been around the sun a few times since then.

1596
01:11:53,013 --> 01:11:55,293
Speaker 2: How do you think that experience has affected your life

1597
01:11:55,333 --> 01:11:56,933
Speaker 2: as a whole after that?

1598
01:11:59,133 --> 01:12:03,532
Speaker 6: It certainly made me more aware of other cultures because

1599
01:12:03,893 --> 01:12:06,572
Speaker 6: obviously I met a lot of other exchange students while

1600
01:12:06,612 --> 01:12:10,253
Speaker 6: I was there. And then the final two weeks of

1601
01:12:10,372 --> 01:12:14,133
Speaker 6: my year, we had a like a road trip with

1602
01:12:14,213 --> 01:12:17,412
Speaker 6: all the exchange students together from all over the world

1603
01:12:18,013 --> 01:12:21,213
Speaker 6: and ended up at the end of Washington, DC and

1604
01:12:21,492 --> 01:12:22,932
Speaker 6: got hosted at the White House.

1605
01:12:23,173 --> 01:12:25,973
Speaker 3: Woa, Yeah, you went to.

1606
01:12:27,893 --> 01:12:31,452
Speaker 2: Wow, that is phenomenal. I was just thinking the other day, Grant,

1607
01:12:31,532 --> 01:12:34,012
Speaker 2: I was thinking, I'd love to go through the White

1608
01:12:34,053 --> 01:12:35,333
Speaker 2: House one day and have a look at it. And

1609
01:12:35,372 --> 01:12:37,133
Speaker 2: I was thinking that would be almost impossible for me

1610
01:12:37,253 --> 01:12:39,652
Speaker 2: to organize. I was trying to go through. I was

1611
01:12:39,652 --> 01:12:42,093
Speaker 2: trying to go through the permutations of how I would

1612
01:12:42,133 --> 01:12:44,253
Speaker 2: get to go and visit the White House. So that

1613
01:12:44,452 --> 01:12:46,732
Speaker 2: must have been That's phenomenal that that happened to you.

1614
01:12:47,333 --> 01:12:49,812
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Jimmy Carter was the president then.

1615
01:12:50,412 --> 01:12:52,732
Speaker 3: How long ago Jimmy Carter.

1616
01:12:52,933 --> 01:12:54,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just passed away, isn't it.

1617
01:12:54,492 --> 01:12:55,372
Speaker 3: Did you get to meet him?

1618
01:12:56,853 --> 01:13:00,692
Speaker 6: No, I got to meet us. His vice president, Jimmy

1619
01:13:00,853 --> 01:13:03,412
Speaker 6: was supposed to come and meet us, but he got

1620
01:13:03,492 --> 01:13:06,213
Speaker 6: called away to some summit thing at cam David. So

1621

Speaker 6: we got to meet the vice president the time, who

1622
01:13:09,133 --> 01:13:10,333
Speaker 6: vaguely cannot remember.

1630
01:13:35,213 --> 01:13:39,412
Speaker 17: Yeah, she went to Honduras for twelve months and that

1631
01:13:39,652 --> 01:13:45,053
Speaker 17: was about nineteen ninety and her school over the year

1632
01:13:45,333 --> 01:13:50,532
Speaker 17: was in the afternoon or evening, so they had different

1633
01:13:50,652 --> 01:13:54,652
Speaker 17: schooling hours to what we have. And she had send

1634
01:13:54,933 --> 01:13:57,772
Speaker 17: a note saying that, you know, she was doing her

1635
01:13:57,893 --> 01:14:01,093
Speaker 17: homework in the gutter by the big tortier of the

1636
01:14:01,213 --> 01:14:06,293
Speaker 17: light in the sky. She said, if you'd walked up

1637
01:14:06,452 --> 01:14:10,133
Speaker 17: through those up the steams into the classrooms. And he

1638
01:14:10,213 --> 01:14:12,973
Speaker 17: had to pay to go to school as well. She

1639
01:14:13,093 --> 01:14:16,093
Speaker 17: said people were carrying candles, so she said they were

1640
01:14:16,213 --> 01:14:19,892
Speaker 17: rackety and rus and whatever, and you can imagine if

1641
01:14:19,893 --> 01:14:24,893
Speaker 17: the fire had broken out. But her family was absolutely fantastic,

1642
01:14:25,133 --> 01:14:27,933
Speaker 17: but she had to go and do the things that

1643
01:14:28,133 --> 01:14:32,093
Speaker 17: they with the family or for the family. So back

1644
01:14:32,173 --> 01:14:34,772
Speaker 17: then it was go down to the river to do

1645
01:14:34,893 --> 01:14:38,612
Speaker 17: the washing and wash, you know, use the rocks and whatever.

1650
01:14:54,853 --> 01:14:56,972
Speaker 17: the friends of the family, and they took her through

1651
01:14:57,612 --> 01:15:00,532
Speaker 17: El Salvador and they got held up there because the

1652

Speaker 17: visas went right and they were threatened with jail as well,

1653
01:15:03,612 --> 01:15:07,253
Speaker 17: so they'd go back and get things sorted, and she

1654
01:15:07,372 --> 01:15:08,253
Speaker 17: went to Guatemala.

1655
01:15:09,692 --> 01:15:13,013
Speaker 2: You're not in Guatemala. Now doctor Jenny's daughters.

1656
01:15:14,213 --> 01:15:16,972
Speaker 17: Went for a ride in the hand operated sir as will.

1657
01:15:19,093 --> 01:15:22,532
Speaker 2: So, Jenny, so you're calling from Dunedin, I understand, is

1658
01:15:22,572 --> 01:15:25,132
Speaker 2: that right? Yeah? And so your daughter left from Dunedin

1659
01:15:25,173 --> 01:15:30,213
Speaker 2: to go to Honduras. Yes, yes, So what what a

1660
01:15:30,333 --> 01:15:32,612
Speaker 2: family in Duonedan? How does a daughter decide to go

1661
01:15:32,692 --> 01:15:35,293
Speaker 2: to Central America? Of all the places to go on

1662
01:15:35,452 --> 01:15:36,452
Speaker 2: an exchange.

1663
01:15:36,652 --> 01:15:39,572
Speaker 17: Then you've got different countries and things, you know, to

1664
01:15:40,013 --> 01:15:44,652
Speaker 17: perhaps choose from and look at. And that's where she was.

1665
01:15:45,053 --> 01:15:45,892
Speaker 11: She was sent.

1666
01:15:47,572 --> 01:15:51,053
Speaker 17: And it was, you know, as a political sort of

1667
01:15:51,333 --> 01:15:55,132
Speaker 17: base in their country. We'd heard it a meeting before.

1668
01:15:55,213 --> 01:15:58,933
Speaker 17: We went from one student who'd come back, but you know,

1669
01:15:59,093 --> 01:16:02,532
Speaker 17: they didn't sort of like people if there was a

1670
01:16:02,652 --> 01:16:05,452
Speaker 17: fight out on the street and he he just sort

1671
01:16:05,492 --> 01:16:08,052
Speaker 17: of came across and said, well, this is what happened.

1672
01:16:08,452 --> 01:16:10,293
Speaker 17: You know, there was an argument. So the guy had

1673
01:16:10,333 --> 01:16:12,253
Speaker 17: a machete and he cut off one arm, cut off

1674
01:16:12,333 --> 01:16:14,293
Speaker 17: the other, and then she cut off the guy's head.

1675
01:16:14,612 --> 01:16:17,453
Speaker 3: You had heard this before, you had sent your daughter exactly,

1676
01:16:17,772 --> 01:16:18,093
Speaker 3: and we.

1677
01:16:18,213 --> 01:16:22,692
Speaker 17: Thought, hmm, this could be interesting. But look, she she

1678
01:16:23,053 --> 01:16:27,732
Speaker 17: just absolutely loved it. The only thing that she didn't like.

1679
01:16:27,933 --> 01:16:32,092
Speaker 17: I suppose was the fact that when Papa was away

1680
01:16:32,532 --> 01:16:35,772
Speaker 17: then the youngest child at the time was the son.

1681
01:16:36,372 --> 01:16:39,093
Speaker 17: He became the head of the family. So how could

1682
01:16:39,173 --> 01:16:42,053
Speaker 17: sort of a five year old teller a fifteen year

1683
01:16:42,093 --> 01:16:47,293
Speaker 17: old what to do. But you know, she said, when

1684
01:16:47,372 --> 01:16:51,692
Speaker 17: she came home, she found that we were far too materialistic, right,

1685
01:16:51,853 --> 01:16:57,772
Speaker 17: And she just loved it, absolutely loved it, and still

1686
01:16:57,893 --> 01:17:01,333
Speaker 17: today has a lot of contact. Of course, now there's

1687
01:17:01,372 --> 01:17:04,812
Speaker 17: Facebook and everything else, and she's virtualing in daily contact

1688
01:17:04,893 --> 01:17:07,012
Speaker 17: with that family and she's been back as.

1689
01:17:06,893 --> 01:17:10,132
Speaker 2: Well, Oh wow, fantastic or it's.

1690
01:17:10,173 --> 01:17:14,093
Speaker 17: Really really fantastic, And I'd encourage anybody. I mean, our

1691
01:17:14,133 --> 01:17:19,732
Speaker 17: other daughter decided that when some of the other teachers

1692
01:17:19,853 --> 01:17:23,973
Speaker 17: came over and bought short term students over that they

1693
01:17:24,372 --> 01:17:26,732
Speaker 17: you know, she got to meet up with them and

1694
01:17:26,973 --> 01:17:29,893
Speaker 17: and they brought one of the girls with them, and

1695
01:17:30,093 --> 01:17:33,572
Speaker 17: so they said, well, why don't you come over, and

1696
01:17:34,412 --> 01:17:36,892
Speaker 17: we sort of said, you're right, And then she went

1697
01:17:36,973 --> 01:17:40,612
Speaker 17: to schools sorted out her powersport and whatever, and at

1698
01:17:40,692 --> 01:17:43,933
Speaker 17: eleven she went off to China.

1699
01:17:43,692 --> 01:17:47,253
Speaker 3: End and a right, Jenny, that's fantastic. I mean, what

1702
01:17:52,133 --> 01:17:55,173
Speaker 3: minutes to three back in a mow, the.

1703
01:17:55,293 --> 01:17:57,812
Speaker 4: Issues that affect you, and a bit of fun along

1704
01:17:57,853 --> 01:17:58,173
Speaker 4: the way.

1705
01:17:58,412 --> 01:18:02,333
Speaker 1: Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo x N eighty innovation,

01:18:02,572 --> 01:18:03,572

1707
01:18:03,772 --> 01:18:05,452
Speaker 4: Have it all you? Salk said, be.

1708
01:18:08,412 --> 01:18:11,932
Speaker 2: We're talking about student exchange programs, and we were talking

1709
01:18:11,973 --> 01:18:13,333
Speaker 2: to Genny before we had to cut her off for

1710
01:18:13,732 --> 01:18:15,812
Speaker 2: a break, just as she was telling the story about

1711
01:18:15,812 --> 01:18:19,532
Speaker 2: an eleven year old going on a student exchange to Thailand?

1712
01:18:19,652 --> 01:18:20,812
Speaker 2: Is that correct? Did I get that right?

1713
01:18:20,893 --> 01:18:24,893
Speaker 17: But she wasn't an exact exchange. It was more that

1714
01:18:25,293 --> 01:18:27,652
Speaker 17: she had been with the exchange people, but she just

1715
01:18:27,732 --> 01:18:30,852
Speaker 17: went privately then. But she had a wonderful time. She

1716
01:18:30,933 --> 01:18:33,972
Speaker 17: went to school. She went and taught English to kids

1717
01:18:34,293 --> 01:18:34,812
Speaker 17: there as.

1718
01:18:34,732 --> 01:18:37,772
Speaker 2: Well, at the edge of eleven at eleven well.

1719
01:18:38,013 --> 01:18:41,532
Speaker 17: And then when she came back the following year, she

1720
01:18:41,933 --> 01:18:44,213
Speaker 17: decided she was going to Japan with the school. So

1721
01:18:44,333 --> 01:18:47,932
Speaker 17: she did that, but to her family's the two families

1722
01:18:48,053 --> 01:18:51,053
Speaker 17: in Thailand, one of them couldn't come because they owned

1723
01:18:51,053 --> 01:18:53,892
Speaker 17: a school and had graduation. The other ones did come

1724
01:18:54,532 --> 01:18:55,772
Speaker 17: and came to her wedding.

1725
01:18:56,093 --> 01:18:58,452
Speaker 3: Oh beautiful, Jenny, thank you very much.

1726
01:18:58,612 --> 01:19:00,652
Speaker 2: So many people on text and phones coming through. So

1727
01:19:00,692 --> 01:19:03,133
Speaker 2: we'll keep this going after three o'clock, shall we?

1728
01:19:05,492 --> 01:19:08,012
Speaker 3: Good afternoon twenty past three, and we are talking about

1729
01:19:08,452 --> 01:19:10,972
Speaker 3: and exchanges on the back of a team being strengthed

1730
01:19:11,013 --> 01:19:12,973
Speaker 3: in lax And you're quite right now that I think

1731
01:19:12,973 --> 01:19:14,652
Speaker 3: about it, when you said it before, at a thirty

1732
01:19:14,732 --> 01:19:17,893
Speaker 3: hour layover at an airport, it's not the worst experience

1733
01:19:17,933 --> 01:19:20,173
Speaker 3: in the world many of us have had that they

1734
01:19:20,213 --> 01:19:21,932
Speaker 3: made not sound like it was, you know, the worst

1735
01:19:21,973 --> 01:19:23,172
Speaker 3: thing in the world for this teenage.

1736
01:19:23,732 --> 01:19:26,972
Speaker 2: I feel for this teenager. And look, it's obviously crazy

1737
01:19:27,532 --> 01:19:29,852
Speaker 2: that the hotel they wouldn't book her into a hotel

1738
01:19:29,853 --> 01:19:31,333
Speaker 2: because she was too young, and they wouldn't let her

1739
01:19:31,333 --> 01:19:33,053
Speaker 2: into the lounge because she was too young to be

1740
01:19:33,133 --> 01:19:38,092
Speaker 2: left alone with alcohol. But she was only thirty hours.

1741
01:19:40,173 --> 01:19:42,372
Speaker 2: But it made the news. And look, she was crying

1742
01:19:42,412 --> 01:19:44,372
Speaker 2: at one point and she rang her parents. But she's home,

1743
01:19:44,412 --> 01:19:46,933
Speaker 2: all right. And look, I'll tell you what if you

1744
01:19:47,013 --> 01:19:50,333
Speaker 2: go on to an exchange over in the United States

1745
01:19:50,333 --> 01:19:51,892
Speaker 2: of American and you come home and that's the worst

1746
01:19:51,933 --> 01:19:53,253
Speaker 2: experience you have, you probably.

1747
01:19:52,973 --> 01:19:54,412
Speaker 3: Did all right, Yeah, And that's going to build some

1748
01:19:54,532 --> 01:19:57,772
Speaker 3: character for was she's seventeen sixteen. But we've put the

1749
01:19:57,812 --> 01:20:00,133
Speaker 3: call out to you, our good listeners. Have you ever

1750
01:20:00,213 --> 01:20:02,893
Speaker 3: done a student exchange or indeed hosted students here in

1751
01:20:02,933 --> 01:20:03,412
Speaker 3: New Zealand.

1752
01:20:03,732 --> 01:20:05,253
Speaker 2: Look, Tyler, we were only going to do this for

1753
01:20:05,293 --> 01:20:07,572
Speaker 2: an hour, I know, or even half an hour, but

1754
01:20:07,732 --> 01:20:10,932
Speaker 2: it's got the text machine is absolutely exploded on nine two,

1755
01:20:11,053 --> 01:20:13,933
Speaker 2: nine two, and the phones have been going off on

1756
01:20:14,412 --> 01:20:16,772
Speaker 2: n eighty ten eighty, So we've decided to extend it

1757
01:20:16,893 --> 01:20:21,652
Speaker 2: for a little bit. Yes, and look, that's just that's

1758
01:20:21,853 --> 01:20:22,612
Speaker 2: just the way we have to do it.

1759
01:20:22,692 --> 01:20:24,333
Speaker 3: Something that's what we love to talk aback is these

1760
01:20:24,372 --> 01:20:28,052
Speaker 3: stories are fantastic, like Susan, for example, who has hosted

1761
01:20:28,173 --> 01:20:32,093
Speaker 3: many students in her time. Hey you Susan, Hi love

1762
01:20:32,173 --> 01:20:32,572
Speaker 3: your show.

1763
01:20:32,652 --> 01:20:34,333
Speaker 7: I have to say you're always happy you guys.

1764
01:20:34,572 --> 01:20:36,892
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, blessed you Susan.

1765
01:20:37,492 --> 01:20:37,973
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you.

1766
01:20:39,692 --> 01:20:41,333
Speaker 3: It is day one for us, Susan, So of course

1767
01:20:41,333 --> 01:20:41,892
Speaker 3: we would be here.

1768
01:20:41,973 --> 01:20:43,532
Speaker 2: We've got a bit of an injury after a month off.

1769
01:20:46,652 --> 01:20:49,412
Speaker 3: Now you have hosted several students, have you, is that right?

1770
01:20:50,093 --> 01:20:50,333
Speaker 4: Yes?

1771
01:20:51,372 --> 01:20:53,772
Speaker 7: During the two thousands, for about ten years we just

1772
01:20:53,853 --> 01:20:56,452
Speaker 7: had two children and We wanted them to be not

1773
01:20:56,612 --> 01:21:02,333
Speaker 7: selfish and appreciator the cultures. So we hosted students from Asia,

1774
01:21:02,532 --> 01:21:05,972
Speaker 7: South Pacific, South America in Germany.

1775
01:21:06,812 --> 01:21:08,933
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and did you were about sa ay you

1776
01:21:09,053 --> 01:21:10,133
Speaker 2: in New Zealand, Susan.

1777
01:21:10,692 --> 01:21:14,052
Speaker 7: We're in well, we're in Hamilton. We're out in Lymington.

1778
01:21:14,213 --> 01:21:16,492
Speaker 7: They are the Cambridge now, But when we were doing it,

1779
01:21:16,612 --> 01:21:19,213
Speaker 7: we were all sort of different places in Hamilton, and

1780
01:21:19,572 --> 01:21:22,213
Speaker 7: the students always had well most of them were went

1781
01:21:22,213 --> 01:21:25,532
Speaker 7: to high school without two children, so that worked out

1782
01:21:25,532 --> 01:21:25,892
Speaker 7: really well.

1783
01:21:26,372 --> 01:21:27,813
Speaker 2: And did you have good experiences?

1784
01:21:28,772 --> 01:21:28,892
Speaker 4: Oh?

1785
01:21:29,053 --> 01:21:32,253
Speaker 7: The worst ones were not really a good thing to say.

1786
01:21:32,333 --> 01:21:35,012
Speaker 7: The worst ones were the children of very wealthy parents

1787
01:21:35,093 --> 01:21:37,532
Speaker 7: from Asia because they their parents would just packed them

1788
01:21:37,572 --> 01:21:39,812
Speaker 7: off out here, and some of them would arrive with

1789
01:21:39,893 --> 01:21:43,013
Speaker 7: suitcases fourteen years old full of cigarettes, et cetera. And

1790
01:21:43,572 --> 01:21:46,253
Speaker 7: they were just at a party. And then some of

1791
01:21:46,372 --> 01:21:50,852
Speaker 7: the South Brere and South Taiwan and the boys were

1792
01:21:50,973 --> 01:21:55,173
Speaker 7: here had no social skills when it came to living

1793
01:21:55,213 --> 01:21:59,133
Speaker 7: with other people. But anyhow did you think that's?

1794
01:21:59,452 --> 01:22:01,253
Speaker 2: Because I was wondering about this because I've coached a

1795
01:22:01,293 --> 01:22:03,093
Speaker 2: lot of sports teams in my time, and sometimes I

1796
01:22:03,133 --> 01:22:05,452
Speaker 2: feel like parents just dumped their kids with you as

1797
01:22:05,492 --> 01:22:08,173
Speaker 2: a coach to make to fix the problems that the

1798
01:22:08,412 --> 01:22:11,333
Speaker 2: kids got because they can't do it. So they go

1799
01:22:11,412 --> 01:22:14,293
Speaker 2: on my kids not doing very social at home. They're

1800
01:22:14,293 --> 01:22:16,293
Speaker 2: not there's they're a bit of a problem. I'll dump

1801
01:22:16,333 --> 01:22:17,013
Speaker 2: them overseas.

1802
01:22:18,293 --> 01:22:19,372
Speaker 12: Oh, but we were lucky.

1803
01:22:19,412 --> 01:22:21,692
Speaker 7: We always did it either through the polytechnic or there

1804
01:22:21,772 --> 01:22:24,333
Speaker 7: was an organization called art Deck in those days, and

1805
01:22:24,652 --> 01:22:27,253
Speaker 7: they supported you and they would take the child away

1806
01:22:27,973 --> 01:22:33,132
Speaker 7: and do whatever was required. Really the parents weren't then interested,

1807
01:22:33,293 --> 01:22:35,253
Speaker 7: so it was an experienced for us.

1808
01:22:35,372 --> 01:22:38,053
Speaker 2: So yeah, and there were positive ones where your where

1809
01:22:38,053 --> 01:22:41,293
Speaker 2: your kids bonded with the the the kids that are coming.

1810
01:22:42,133 --> 01:22:44,572
Speaker 7: The best ones were the Germans that the girl Giesus.

1811
01:22:44,772 --> 01:22:46,572
Speaker 7: I can say the names. Nobody knows who they are

1812
01:22:47,293 --> 01:22:50,772
Speaker 7: from Berlin. He very very clever girl and she's now

1813
01:22:50,893 --> 01:22:56,253
Speaker 7: pediatric doctor for exotic diseases in Berlin. But she came

1814
01:22:56,293 --> 01:22:57,852
Speaker 7: out here, went to high school with our daughter. She

1815
01:22:58,053 --> 01:23:01,132
Speaker 7: was just here to you know, she took sewing classes

1816
01:23:01,173 --> 01:23:03,372
Speaker 7: and all that. She just saw it as like the

1817
01:23:03,532 --> 01:23:04,732
Speaker 7: tempts on the camp for her.

1818
01:23:05,293 --> 01:23:06,972
Speaker 16: But we stayed.

1819
01:23:07,053 --> 01:23:09,013
Speaker 7: Her mother came out and spent a business with us,

1820
01:23:09,133 --> 01:23:12,612
Speaker 7: and then Gizel was our daughter's bridesmaid in Germany.

1821
01:23:12,973 --> 01:23:13,173
Speaker 4: Wow.

1822
01:23:13,612 --> 01:23:16,293
Speaker 7: Tim the lovely boy. He was the kind of boy

1823
01:23:16,372 --> 01:23:18,933
Speaker 7: every mother would want for a son. He was just beautiful.

1824
01:23:19,293 --> 01:23:21,412
Speaker 7: And always said to him, Timo, if you ever get married,

1825
01:23:21,452 --> 01:23:23,532
Speaker 7: with coming to your wedding, whether we get an invite

1826
01:23:23,612 --> 01:23:25,293
Speaker 7: or not, but you have to have it in the

1827
01:23:25,412 --> 01:23:27,253
Speaker 7: Northern Hemisphere summit because we can't.

1828
01:23:27,133 --> 01:23:28,213
Speaker 10: Come in our much.

1829
01:23:28,893 --> 01:23:31,092
Speaker 7: Two years ago, we've got an invite, went to his wedding.

1830
01:23:31,452 --> 01:23:34,053
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome. Speaking of rich parents, I had some

1831
01:23:34,213 --> 01:23:36,173
Speaker 2: friends that had an exchange team that came to stay

1832
01:23:36,173 --> 01:23:38,492
Speaker 2: with him from Germany, and he never really made a

1833
01:23:38,532 --> 01:23:41,253
Speaker 2: big deal. He was wonderful. Became really good friends with

1834
01:23:41,333 --> 01:23:43,933
Speaker 2: this kid and part of the family, and then the

1835
01:23:43,973 --> 01:23:46,812
Speaker 2: whole family went to visit his family over in Germany,

1836
01:23:47,412 --> 01:23:52,133
Speaker 2: and they were incredibly wealthy and lived and essentially lived

1837
01:23:52,133 --> 01:23:55,133
Speaker 2: in a castle. And they arrived there and at no

1838
01:23:55,293 --> 01:23:57,652
Speaker 2: point did this kid ever been anything but completely and

1839
01:23:57,812 --> 01:24:00,013
Speaker 2: utterly down to earth and being grateful to be there,

1840
01:24:00,053 --> 01:24:03,293
Speaker 2: and it never mentioned his incredibly wealthy status in life.

1841
01:24:04,053 --> 01:24:07,372
Speaker 7: They liked we go up there every year. Our daughter

1842
01:24:07,772 --> 01:24:10,893
Speaker 7: met a German and Cuban of course married them. So

1843
01:24:11,293 --> 01:24:13,612
Speaker 7: hence but we go to Europe every year for three months.

1844
01:24:13,652 --> 01:24:15,652
Speaker 7: We spent a lot of time in Germany's.

1845
01:24:16,053 --> 01:24:18,253
Speaker 2: Did you say your daughter married married German?

1846
01:24:18,333 --> 01:24:18,972
Speaker 10: Wasn't it German?

1847
01:24:19,093 --> 01:24:19,293
Speaker 6: Years?

1848
01:24:19,492 --> 01:24:23,932

Speaker 18: You have to do a tour.

1853
01:24:32,133 --> 01:24:35,133

1855
01:24:39,093 --> 01:24:41,532
Speaker 7: in love. They never held hands, they never kissed or anything.

1856
01:24:42,293 --> 01:24:44,612
Speaker 7: And she long story short, they got married a couple

1857
01:24:44,612 --> 01:24:46,933
Speaker 7: of years later. And yeah, we went up there and

1858
01:24:47,013 --> 01:24:47,852
Speaker 7: they came back.

1859
01:24:47,732 --> 01:24:48,133
Speaker 9: Here for when.

1860
01:24:48,333 --> 01:24:50,532
Speaker 3: Oh they worked out well now just quickly so that

1861
01:24:50,893 --> 01:24:53,372
Speaker 3: on the fourteen year old with a suitcase full of cigarettes.

1862
01:24:53,532 --> 01:24:53,772
Speaker 13: Was there?

1863
01:24:53,973 --> 01:24:55,732
Speaker 3: Were they smokers or were they using that as some

1864
01:24:55,812 --> 01:24:57,173
Speaker 3: sort of currency here in New Zealand?

1865
01:24:57,253 --> 01:25:01,012
Speaker 7: To no, No, she was a smoker and she sort

1866
01:25:01,013 --> 01:25:03,053
Speaker 7: of traded in the cigarette. She was a notorious she

1867
01:25:03,173 --> 01:25:03,692
Speaker 7: was fourteen.

1868
01:25:04,013 --> 01:25:05,852
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was a bit of a laugh.

1869
01:25:07,333 --> 01:25:09,893
Speaker 7: Yeah, like I said, took they took her away and

1870
01:25:09,973 --> 01:25:11,852
Speaker 7: sort of sort of her out the work. Like I say,

1871
01:25:11,933 --> 01:25:13,412
Speaker 7: the worst one was the boy where he had no

1872
01:25:13,572 --> 01:25:16,973
Speaker 7: social skills. But we enjoyed them all, them all for

1873
01:25:17,093 --> 01:25:20,732
Speaker 7: different reasons. And I think if you had, if you

1874
01:25:20,812 --> 01:25:24,732
Speaker 7: have the wherews all, it's really good for your children

1875
01:25:24,812 --> 01:25:27,132
Speaker 7: to experience that and get a taste of other cultures

1876
01:25:27,173 --> 01:25:27,892
Speaker 7: than other people.

1877
01:25:28,013 --> 01:25:28,532
Speaker 12: And travel.

1878
01:25:28,652 --> 01:25:33,293
Speaker 7: Yes, I always say to people travel you know, isn't she.

1879
01:25:33,293 --> 01:25:35,932
Speaker 2: Because I say before, because these kids came into your life,

1880
01:25:35,973 --> 01:25:37,772
Speaker 2: and so your kids saw another part of the world.

1881
01:25:38,333 --> 01:25:41,213
Speaker 2: And so if your daughter hadn't had in a German

1882
01:25:41,213 --> 01:25:43,933
Speaker 2: and exchange students stay with her, then she might not

1883
01:25:43,973 --> 01:25:46,652
Speaker 2: have struck up the conversation in the same way with

1884
01:25:46,772 --> 01:25:49,372
Speaker 2: the German Man that she met on the bus and married.

1885
01:25:49,412 --> 01:25:50,852
Speaker 2: If you know what I mean. There's lots of sliding

1886
01:25:50,933 --> 01:25:54,093
Speaker 2: doors that come from opening people's horizons, like like having

1887
01:25:54,652 --> 01:25:55,852
Speaker 2: exchange students to come to live with you.

1888
01:25:56,732 --> 01:25:59,812

1906
01:26:47,732 --> 01:26:49,692

1910
01:26:57,333 --> 01:26:57,973

Speaker 4: It that way.

1913
01:27:01,173 --> 01:27:04,173
Speaker 2: Accidentally left me an orphanage for fifteen years. I joined

1914
01:27:04,173 --> 01:27:07,253
Speaker 2: the Navy at seventeen, and that was character building. Yeah,

1915
01:27:07,372 --> 01:27:08,053

01:27:08,133 --> 01:27:09,212

1918
01:27:13,612 --> 01:27:15,372
Speaker 3: It's a great option though for a lot of youngsters.

1919
01:27:15,372 --> 01:27:17,333
Speaker 3: I mean I say that as someone who's never joined

1920
01:27:17,412 --> 01:27:19,333
Speaker 3: during the military, of course, I'm going to say that.

1921
01:27:19,492 --> 01:27:22,532
Speaker 3: But now, if you want to study engineering or a

1922
01:27:22,652 --> 01:27:25,932
Speaker 3: myriad of other things, they effectively pay for your schooling, right,

Speaker 3: Thank you very much, ray Lean.

1973
01:29:57,492 --> 01:30:01,812
Speaker 2: We're talking about student exchangers, whether you've had them in

1974
01:30:01,853 --> 01:30:03,892
Speaker 2: your house, or you've been on one yourself or your

1975
01:30:03,933 --> 01:30:06,692
Speaker 2: kids have been on one. Here's a text here from Dan. Guys,

1976
01:30:06,732 --> 01:30:08,732
Speaker 2: can I send my seven year old on exchang? She's

1977
01:30:08,772 --> 01:30:11,213
Speaker 2: been doing my head in these holidays. It's probably a

1978
01:30:11,253 --> 01:30:11,812
Speaker 2: little bit early.

1979
01:30:12,213 --> 01:30:13,093
Speaker 3: See what you can Dan.

1980
01:30:13,293 --> 01:30:13,492
Speaker 18: We did.

1981
01:30:13,572 --> 01:30:15,093
Speaker 2: We did hear of an eleven year old going to

1982
01:30:15,173 --> 01:30:18,572
Speaker 2: Thailand on a trip, so eleven year old, Yeah, it

1983
01:30:18,572 --> 01:30:21,612
Speaker 2: certainly did. It is an interesting one, like if you like, say,

1984
01:30:21,933 --> 01:30:25,452
Speaker 2: you know, we're talking before about how some people maybe

1985
01:30:25,772 --> 01:30:29,452
Speaker 2: you know, send their kids that they've got problems with

1986
01:30:29,572 --> 01:30:31,532
Speaker 2: to New Zealand to exchange to try and sort them out.

1987
01:30:32,213 --> 01:30:34,333
Speaker 2: But there might be something in that because I've got

1988
01:30:34,333 --> 01:30:38,053
Speaker 2: a bunch of friends whose teenagers are absolutely killing them.

1989
01:30:38,412 --> 01:30:42,652
Speaker 2: They're apps just so angry and hate the family and

1990
01:30:42,812 --> 01:30:45,772
Speaker 2: think they know absolutely everything. There's a type of teenager

1991
01:30:45,812 --> 01:30:47,412
Speaker 2: that goes through that and later on there we're twenty

1992
01:30:47,452 --> 01:30:49,692
Speaker 2: five and they'll be humiliated by their behavior and their family.

1993
01:30:49,772 --> 01:30:51,932
Speaker 2: But there can something that can happen to a teenager

1994
01:30:51,933 --> 01:30:55,012
Speaker 2: where they're just so they just hate the situation they're

1995
01:30:55,093 --> 01:30:56,772
Speaker 2: in because they haven't seen the rest of the world.

1996
01:30:57,013 --> 01:30:58,852
Speaker 2: I mean, should you do that, Should you send that

1997
01:30:58,933 --> 01:31:03,053
Speaker 2: person on an exchange or is that would that you know,

1998
01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:06,132
Speaker 2: why diden the horizons such that they appreciate their family

1999
01:31:06,253 --> 01:31:09,013
Speaker 2: that they come from, or with the just destroy that

2000
01:31:09,093 --> 01:31:11,013
Speaker 2: family they go through. I think because often you see

2001
01:31:11,093 --> 01:31:13,372
Speaker 2: these kids that they're just so nasty to their parents.

2002
01:31:13,652 --> 01:31:15,293
Speaker 2: You hear the story, but then when you run into them,

2003
01:31:15,333 --> 01:31:18,492
Speaker 2: they're you know, they're all light and joy when you

2004
01:31:18,612 --> 01:31:20,933
Speaker 2: go into them. So I just wonder if that would work, Like,

2005
01:31:21,173 --> 01:31:22,772
Speaker 2: could you use it to fix your cad of what

2006
01:31:22,812 --> 01:31:25,053
Speaker 2: I'm saying as opposed to give them an experience.

2007
01:31:24,812 --> 01:31:26,893
Speaker 3: Just outsource the environment and give them a bit of

2008
01:31:26,933 --> 01:31:28,572
Speaker 3: a reset. I like this out of it, but it

2009
01:31:28,572 --> 01:31:29,932
Speaker 3: feels like a bit of a roll of the dice

2010
01:31:30,013 --> 01:31:33,692
Speaker 3: that it could go either way. Sheryl, how are you

2011
01:31:33,772 --> 01:31:34,333
Speaker 3: this afternoon?

2012
01:31:34,772 --> 01:31:34,932
Speaker 15: Oh?

2013
01:31:35,053 --> 01:31:38,933
Speaker 17: Hi, guys like your show. Our family's had quite a

2014
01:31:38,973 --> 01:31:42,333
Speaker 17: few experiences with exchanges, starting with my husband back in

2015
01:31:42,412 --> 01:31:43,213
Speaker 17: nineteen sixty.

2016
01:31:43,572 --> 01:31:44,933
Speaker 2: Wow, where did he go?

2017
01:31:45,612 --> 01:31:48,532
Speaker 17: He was an AFS student American Field Service and went

2018
01:31:48,612 --> 01:31:52,092
Speaker 17: to the States. And in those days, it wasn't hopping

2019
01:31:52,173 --> 01:31:53,972
Speaker 17: on a plane, it was being put on a ship

2020
01:31:55,492 --> 01:31:56,892
Speaker 17: in the bottom in a dorm.

2021
01:31:57,732 --> 01:32:00,692
Speaker 2: Wow, how do you know how long that? How long

2022
01:32:00,772 --> 01:32:03,412
Speaker 2: that that ship that travel?

2023
01:32:03,452 --> 01:32:03,572
Speaker 4: Wan?

2024
01:32:03,692 --> 01:32:04,532
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't know.

2025
01:32:04,572 --> 01:32:07,252
Speaker 17: It was way before I before, because.

2026
01:32:07,013 --> 01:32:10,212
Speaker 2: That is something, isn't it before you even start your situation?

2027
01:32:10,612 --> 01:32:12,812
Speaker 17: And like that other guy that rang and his mom

2028
01:32:12,973 --> 01:32:15,612
Speaker 17: was a single mother as well, so for her to

2029
01:32:17,133 --> 01:32:19,372
Speaker 17: get the money and then send her son off to

2030
01:32:19,412 --> 01:32:22,012
Speaker 17: the other side of the world was for the experience

2031
01:32:22,173 --> 01:32:24,973
Speaker 17: was quite wonderful. But he loved it and because of

2032
01:32:25,013 --> 01:32:28,053
Speaker 17: that he wanted our daughters to do the same when

2033
01:32:28,093 --> 01:32:31,253
Speaker 17: they got older. So as seventeen year olds, one went

2034
01:32:31,293 --> 01:32:34,653
Speaker 17: to Holland for a year and one went to Belgium.

2035
01:32:34,333 --> 01:32:34,692
Speaker 1: For a year.

2036
01:32:35,053 --> 01:32:37,333
Speaker 3: Fantastic And how did they do it? Did they both

2037
01:32:37,412 --> 01:32:38,252
Speaker 3: enjoy the experiences?

2038
01:32:38,492 --> 01:32:40,492
Speaker 17: Families, And they've come and stayed here, and we've been

2039
01:32:40,532 --> 01:32:43,412
Speaker 17: and stayed with them, and you know, it's been a

2040
01:32:43,532 --> 01:32:47,133
Speaker 17: great experience. So both the girls did when they came

2041
01:32:47,213 --> 01:32:50,652
Speaker 17: back to Auckland, did their degrees, wandered Dutch for two

2042
01:32:50,732 --> 01:32:53,932
Speaker 17: years and wondered frenchship as her major.

2043
01:32:54,732 --> 01:32:58,492
Speaker 3: So fantastic. Were your daughters worried when when one went

2044
01:32:58,572 --> 01:33:01,333
Speaker 3: to Belgium and one went to sorry, what did you say?

2045
01:33:01,772 --> 01:33:03,772
Speaker 17: One went to Holland and it was fine, and the

2046
01:33:03,893 --> 01:33:05,532
Speaker 17: other one, well, I don't think I could go away

2047
01:33:05,572 --> 01:33:08,253
Speaker 17: for a year, mum. So she took off to adela

2048
01:33:08,372 --> 01:33:12,933
Speaker 17: made for a term. And that girl came back and

2049
01:33:13,013 --> 01:33:15,612
Speaker 17: stayed with us and she said, oh that went quite well.

2050
01:33:15,652 --> 01:33:16,732
Speaker 17: I think I will go away.

2051
01:33:16,812 --> 01:33:18,493
Speaker 12: So all money.

2052
01:33:19,732 --> 01:33:22,253
Speaker 17: And when she headed off we didn't know she didn't

2053
01:33:22,293 --> 01:33:24,893
Speaker 17: the hot the Dutch one. We had corresponded with the

2054
01:33:24,973 --> 01:33:27,612
Speaker 17: family and knew where she was going. The Belgium one,

2055
01:33:27,652 --> 01:33:29,452
Speaker 17: we had no idea that it all fell through at

2056
01:33:29,452 --> 01:33:31,612
Speaker 17: the last moment, so she headed off, got on a plane.

2057
01:33:31,772 --> 01:33:34,892
Speaker 17: She had no idea where she was going. I thought

2058
01:33:34,933 --> 01:33:38,053
Speaker 17: she was very brave. I was a cckcase. But it

2059
01:33:38,133 --> 01:33:42,412
Speaker 17: all worked out very well. Yeah, her family spoke no

2060
01:33:42,532 --> 01:33:47,812
Speaker 17: English at all, just a French and the Belgian mother.

2061
01:33:48,333 --> 01:33:50,173
Speaker 17: To make her feel welcome, they got a dog in

2062
01:33:50,213 --> 01:33:53,372
Speaker 17: a rabbit and they called one Maori and one and

2063
01:33:53,612 --> 01:33:54,132
Speaker 17: one Kiwi.

2064
01:33:55,612 --> 01:33:57,173
Speaker 3: Nice, it's beautiful.

2065
01:33:58,692 --> 01:34:02,852
Speaker 2: And did she assimilate, Like did she learn the language quickly?

2066
01:34:03,572 --> 01:34:03,772
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2067
01:34:03,772 --> 01:34:06,333
Speaker 17: Well she she had to just immerse self and French,

2068
01:34:06,372 --> 01:34:10,333
Speaker 17: and that's why it was totally fluent and actually done

2069
01:34:10,372 --> 01:34:15,013
Speaker 17: French at high school. Here the Dutch, she didn't learn

2070
01:34:15,173 --> 01:34:17,452
Speaker 17: Dutch so well because the family wanted to speak English

2071
01:34:17,612 --> 01:34:21,293
Speaker 17: and they wanted to have the English in their household.

2072
01:34:21,412 --> 01:34:23,892
Speaker 2: So high school French does not help you in France

2073
01:34:23,933 --> 01:34:26,013
Speaker 2: at all. I found in.

2074
01:34:26,093 --> 01:34:32,052
Speaker 17: Belgium totally different French French. Yeah, it was a great

2075
01:34:32,093 --> 01:34:35,772
Speaker 17: experience and they thoroughly enjoyed it. But we've asked the

2076
01:34:35,812 --> 01:34:36,892
Speaker 17: grandchildren and no they.

2077
01:34:36,853 --> 01:34:37,333
Speaker 9: Don't want to go.

2078
01:34:39,013 --> 01:34:40,492
Speaker 3: Why don't the grand children want to do it?

2079
01:34:41,053 --> 01:34:43,293
Speaker 17: I know they just freaks them out.

2080
01:34:43,333 --> 01:34:46,253
Speaker 2: But is that a sign of the times that now

2081
01:34:46,492 --> 01:34:48,812
Speaker 2: children aren't as adventuress as they once will.

2082
01:34:49,612 --> 01:34:49,812
Speaker 14: Yeah?

2083
01:34:50,812 --> 01:34:54,333
Speaker 2: I wonder about that because because we you know, growing

2084
01:34:54,412 --> 01:34:56,932
Speaker 2: up in New Zealand, you used to know absolutely nothing

2085
01:34:56,933 --> 01:34:58,812
Speaker 2: about the world except for what you saw on TV

2086
01:34:58,893 --> 01:35:03,012
Speaker 2: one basically True Disney on Sunday at Night was about

2087
01:35:03,053 --> 01:35:05,293
Speaker 2: all you saw of the world, and so we had

2088
01:35:05,772 --> 01:35:07,333
Speaker 2: a thirst of it now. But I wonder if young

2089
01:35:07,333 --> 01:35:09,452
Speaker 2: people up feel like growing up now, I feel like

2090
01:35:09,532 --> 01:35:11,852
Speaker 2: they know the world more because you know, they've got

2091
01:35:11,933 --> 01:35:14,452
Speaker 2: social media, they can watch YouTube, they can watch whatever

2092
01:35:14,492 --> 01:35:16,892
Speaker 2: they want, so they may feel more connected with the world.

2093
01:35:16,893 --> 01:35:19,052
Speaker 2: But New Zealand used to be quite an isolated place,

2094
01:35:19,093 --> 01:35:19,412
Speaker 2: didn't it.

2095
01:35:20,053 --> 01:35:22,133
Speaker 17: Well it was, and I mean we were reduced to

2096
01:35:22,253 --> 01:35:24,173
Speaker 17: just to like a letter once a fortnight or something

2097
01:35:24,293 --> 01:35:27,093
Speaker 17: like that, but we didn't certainly didn't phone or do

2098
01:35:27,173 --> 01:35:30,452
Speaker 17: anything like that. But I think it was real character

2099
01:35:30,492 --> 01:35:31,173
Speaker 17: building for them.

2100
01:35:31,293 --> 01:35:31,532
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2101
01:35:32,933 --> 01:35:36,412
Speaker 17: Yeah, so we recommend it, and we didn't have any

2102
01:35:36,492 --> 01:35:38,933
Speaker 17: long term here. We had short term once come and

2103
01:35:39,013 --> 01:35:41,133
Speaker 17: stay with us from various countries just for a few

2104
01:35:41,173 --> 01:35:44,652
Speaker 17: weeks or a term and that was all of those

2105
01:35:44,732 --> 01:35:48,412
Speaker 17: were fine. So yeah, good experience, Cheryl.

2106
01:35:48,452 --> 01:35:49,852
Speaker 3: Great to chat with you. Thank you very much for

2107
01:35:49,933 --> 01:35:50,612
Speaker 3: giving us a buzz.

2108
01:35:51,133 --> 01:35:51,652
Speaker 17: You're welcome.

2109
01:35:51,812 --> 01:35:52,053
Speaker 4: Thank you.

2110
01:35:52,452 --> 01:35:52,652
Speaker 16: Yeah.

2111
01:35:52,692 --> 01:35:54,892
Speaker 3: Interesting about the grandchildren, And I think you're right. There's

2112
01:35:54,893 --> 01:35:56,932
Speaker 3: too much worry in this world for kids. They're anxious

2113
01:35:56,933 --> 01:36:00,772
Speaker 3: about blooming everything. Whereas back in the day, even my day,

2114
01:36:01,093 --> 01:36:02,772
Speaker 3: you were just it's a bit of a roll of

2115
01:36:02,812 --> 01:36:05,213
Speaker 3: a dice, a bit of an adventure, but you didn't

2116
01:36:05,612 --> 01:36:07,973
Speaker 3: read or watch or see too many things about the

2117
01:36:08,013 --> 01:36:09,412
Speaker 3: country of origin that you're going to.

2118
01:36:09,532 --> 01:36:11,612
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it was just a bit of a roll

2119
01:36:11,652 --> 01:36:13,772
Speaker 2: of the time. So what you're saying, what you're saying

2120
01:36:13,853 --> 01:36:15,692
Speaker 2: is so it seems now when we look back, that

2121
01:36:15,812 --> 01:36:19,012
Speaker 2: you'd be going overseas and you would be more terrified

2122
01:36:19,213 --> 01:36:22,772
Speaker 2: back then, but because you knew so little, you wouldn't

2123
01:36:22,973 --> 01:36:26,053
Speaker 2: be you know what I mean, you know what to

2124
01:36:26,093 --> 01:36:28,452
Speaker 2: worry and just assumed everything. But now we you know,

2125
01:36:28,532 --> 01:36:31,652
Speaker 2: the world's safer than it's ever been, and yet we

2126
01:36:31,812 --> 01:36:35,133
Speaker 2: see so much social media just blasts all the terrible

2127
01:36:35,173 --> 01:36:36,932
Speaker 2: things that are happening, and if you go on TikTok,

2128
01:36:36,933 --> 01:36:38,612
Speaker 2: all you see is people fighting in the streets in

2129
01:36:38,652 --> 01:36:41,013
Speaker 2: the United States of America, even though that's not the

2130
01:36:41,133 --> 01:36:44,173
Speaker 2: experience when you're on the ground. Yeah, so it might

2131
01:36:44,253 --> 01:36:46,572
Speaker 2: actually be more terrifying for kids now to go over

2132
01:36:46,652 --> 01:36:49,093
Speaker 2: there than it was back in the day. Still, I

2133
01:36:49,133 --> 01:36:53,213
Speaker 2: think getting on a ship in the nineteen sixties and

2134
01:36:53,532 --> 01:36:56,652
Speaker 2: you know, potentially a week or so on the water

2135
01:36:56,692 --> 01:36:59,213
Speaker 2: before you even get to the port to find the family.

2136
01:36:59,053 --> 01:37:02,932
Speaker 3: That was gutsy, that is gussy. Yeah, eight hundred eighty

2137
01:37:03,013 --> 01:37:05,053
Speaker 3: ten eighty is number two. We'll have time for a

2138
01:37:05,133 --> 01:37:07,612
Speaker 3: few more phone calls on this one. It is eighteen to.

2139
01:37:07,652 --> 01:37:14,012
Speaker 1: Four, your new home of afternoon Talk, Matt and Taylor

2140
01:37:14,133 --> 01:37:17,852
Speaker 1: Afternoon with the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into

2141
01:37:18,053 --> 01:37:18,812
Speaker 1: something special.

2142
01:37:18,973 --> 01:37:23,372
Speaker 4: Call eight hundred News Talks, they'd be Yeah.

2143
01:37:23,173 --> 01:37:26,492
Speaker 2: We're talking about student exchange programs, and we're talking about

2144
01:37:26,572 --> 01:37:30,053
Speaker 2: why it appears that kids are more reticent to do

2145
01:37:30,213 --> 01:37:33,092
Speaker 2: it than they used to be, even though there's zoom

2146
01:37:33,173 --> 01:37:35,293
Speaker 2: and way easy to keep in contact with your with

2147
01:37:35,452 --> 01:37:38,213
Speaker 2: your kids than it was before. Well, according to Cheryl,

2148
01:37:38,732 --> 01:37:41,692
Speaker 2: her her husband did and her kids did, but her

2149
01:37:41,732 --> 01:37:44,893
Speaker 2: grandkids don't want to do it. This text her on

2150
01:37:45,013 --> 01:37:46,572
Speaker 2: nine two nine two sears I think back in the

2151
01:37:46,652 --> 01:37:48,932
Speaker 2: day when we used to seeing children overseas, the family

2152
01:37:49,013 --> 01:37:52,253
Speaker 2: dynamics in New Zealand were very different as the family

2153
01:37:52,333 --> 01:37:54,372
Speaker 2: size was bigger and if something happened to the child,

2154
01:37:54,412 --> 01:37:56,692
Speaker 2: there was always a spear from Jason. That's that's a

2155
01:37:56,732 --> 01:37:58,692
Speaker 2: bit extreme, but I think there was a little bit

2156
01:37:58,732 --> 01:38:01,412
Speaker 2: of that, like because I was from four kids and

2157
01:38:01,492 --> 01:38:04,213
Speaker 2: I remember coming across these boxes of stuff and how

2158
01:38:04,333 --> 01:38:06,572
Speaker 2: much my parents had done with the first two kids. Yep,

2159
01:38:07,213 --> 01:38:10,293
Speaker 2: like we box they were just there was so much.

2160
01:38:10,372 --> 01:38:13,412
Speaker 2: But by the time you get to a fourth kid, you're.

2161
01:38:13,492 --> 01:38:16,253
Speaker 3: The confidence is huge as he'll be right, yeah.

2162
01:38:16,293 --> 01:38:17,812
Speaker 2: And you've sort of moved on in your life about

2163
01:38:17,812 --> 01:38:20,412
Speaker 2: your parenting, your parenting stage, your life is kind of over,

2164
01:38:20,412 --> 01:38:21,812
Speaker 2: and you've got these sort of hang on kids that

2165
01:38:21,812 --> 01:38:22,412
Speaker 2: are still around.

2166
01:38:22,452 --> 01:38:24,692
Speaker 3: The number four is has anyone seen men eye be

2167
01:38:24,732 --> 01:38:25,892
Speaker 3: around Some don't worry about it.

2168
01:38:26,053 --> 01:38:28,973
Speaker 2: And just the sheer amount of energy say you know,

2169
01:38:29,093 --> 01:38:31,973
Speaker 2: like you know, my mum was from five kids and

2170
01:38:32,492 --> 01:38:35,173
Speaker 2: and so, and you know, like there's people and my

2171
01:38:35,253 --> 01:38:39,492
Speaker 2: wider family that have thirteen kids in their family, members

2172
01:38:39,532 --> 01:38:42,973
Speaker 2: of a sudden church, and that there's no way that

2173
01:38:43,093 --> 01:38:45,532
Speaker 2: you could have the same attention that you have on

2174
01:38:46,253 --> 01:38:49,093
Speaker 2: you know, some ponts and big couple with one kid,

2175
01:38:49,452 --> 01:38:51,333
Speaker 2: you know, the amount of the two parents and the

2176
01:38:52,293 --> 01:38:54,772
Speaker 2: laser focus on the one that child. There's probably a

2177
01:38:54,812 --> 01:38:56,692
Speaker 2: lot of this coddling that's going on. We talk about

2178
01:38:56,692 --> 01:38:59,732
Speaker 2: why kids are, you know, anxious and stuff, and they

2179
01:38:59,772 --> 01:39:02,133
Speaker 2: put it down a lot to you know, the being

2180
01:39:02,612 --> 01:39:04,253
Speaker 2: you know, not being left to their own devices and

2181
01:39:04,893 --> 01:39:06,893
Speaker 2: you know, and the anxiety of their parents is coming on.

2182
01:39:07,013 --> 01:39:09,372
Speaker 2: That's probably why you've got one kid, then they're going

2183
01:39:09,412 --> 01:39:10,932
Speaker 2: to have a lot of attention. If you've got four,

2184
01:39:11,093 --> 01:39:12,812
Speaker 2: they're going to have a quarter of the attention.

2185
01:39:13,013 --> 01:39:14,933
Speaker 3: Arguably, have more kids, then you've got a couple of

2186
01:39:14,973 --> 01:39:19,372
Speaker 3: spears up your sleeps Now, Vicky, how are you Fie?

2187
01:39:19,492 --> 01:39:25,852
Speaker 14: Thank you, it's funny. I love your show. I'm to

2188
01:39:25,933 --> 01:39:29,492
Speaker 14: say that we have done a lot of home stayed

2189
01:39:29,612 --> 01:39:31,973
Speaker 14: over the years, and our first one was back in

2190
01:39:32,013 --> 01:39:36,492
Speaker 14: Wellington about twenty years ago and a wee girl came

2191
01:39:36,532 --> 01:39:38,652
Speaker 14: out from Hong Kong and she ended up living with

2192
01:39:38,893 --> 01:39:43,213
Speaker 14: us for five years. She fet home at Christmas time

2193
01:39:43,333 --> 01:39:46,532
Speaker 14: and then just come back to school for the school

2194
01:39:46,612 --> 01:39:49,053
Speaker 14: year and then go back home again. And she's now

2195
01:39:49,372 --> 01:39:52,772
Speaker 14: grown up and married and we visit and she's just

2196
01:39:52,973 --> 01:39:56,253
Speaker 14: like our daughter. Really, Keena is such a young age

2197
01:39:56,572 --> 01:39:58,572
Speaker 14: for a young girl, and she could speak no English

2198
01:39:58,612 --> 01:40:02,372
Speaker 14: at the time, so it was a massive experience. And

2199
01:40:02,692 --> 01:40:05,133
Speaker 14: our daughter, one of our daughters, was the same age,

2200
01:40:05,492 --> 01:40:09,612
Speaker 14: so they kind of grew up together that point. Wow,

2201
01:40:10,452 --> 01:40:11,933
Speaker 14: she could just speak Cantonese.

2202
01:40:12,213 --> 01:40:15,572
Speaker 2: So, oh, your daughter learned to speak Cantonese. Well, no, no, no,

2203
01:40:18,532 --> 01:40:21,053
Speaker 2: so that the exchansion. So so that was so the

2204
01:40:21,093 --> 01:40:22,333
Speaker 2: first year was organized?

2205
01:40:22,532 --> 01:40:22,652
Speaker 4: Was it?

2206
01:40:22,812 --> 01:40:26,812
Speaker 2: And then you just rolled it over? Did you roll

2207
01:40:26,853 --> 01:40:29,452
Speaker 2: it over with the parents or whatever, or did it

2208
01:40:29,532 --> 01:40:31,013
Speaker 2: leave the system or did it say it stay in

2209
01:40:31,053 --> 01:40:32,012
Speaker 2: there in the system?

2210
01:40:32,213 --> 01:40:36,972
Speaker 14: It stayed in the system. Her father was really concerned

2211
01:40:36,973 --> 01:40:40,532
Speaker 14: about Hong Kong and China at the time, and he

2212
01:40:40,652 --> 01:40:44,973
Speaker 14: wanted his children educated out of Hong Kong, and so

2213
01:40:45,173 --> 01:40:50,772
Speaker 14: we looked after his youngest girl and an older daughter

2214
01:40:51,293 --> 01:40:54,013
Speaker 14: went to school in Australia, and then later on his

2215
01:40:54,133 --> 01:40:56,572
Speaker 14: son came to New Zealand to a different school.

2216
01:40:56,692 --> 01:40:59,692
Speaker 2: Wow, And was that was that? Did you say that?

2217
01:40:59,812 --> 01:41:03,253
Speaker 2: Was that the only exchange student you had, Vicki or

2218
01:41:03,293 --> 01:41:04,253
Speaker 2: did you have other ones? Oh?

2219
01:41:04,492 --> 01:41:07,333
Speaker 14: No, We've had lots since. That was just our start

2220
01:41:07,732 --> 01:41:09,892
Speaker 14: we lived in willing To or Lower Heart at the time.

2221
01:41:10,013 --> 01:41:12,892
Speaker 14: Then we came to Nelson and we've had heaps and heaps.

2222
01:41:12,933 --> 01:41:16,293
Speaker 14: We've still got one now and this is her third year.

2223
01:41:16,333 --> 01:41:19,412
Speaker 14: She'll be back next week on the Simon February, and

2224
01:41:19,532 --> 01:41:23,092
Speaker 14: she's from Thailand. But we've had them from Thailand and Brazil,

2225
01:41:23,853 --> 01:41:28,532
Speaker 14: in Germany and all over the place, really in China.

2226
01:41:28,812 --> 01:41:33,293
Speaker 2: And you've had all good experiences, or varied experiences.

2227
01:41:34,133 --> 01:41:38,852
Speaker 14: On the whole really good. Only one really not good.

2228
01:41:40,372 --> 01:41:42,213
Speaker 14: My husband and I used to argue about it because

2229
01:41:42,213 --> 01:41:45,333
Speaker 14: I wouldn't I wouldn't give up because he was just

2230
01:41:46,532 --> 01:41:47,772
Speaker 14: not a naughty boy.

2231
01:41:48,652 --> 01:41:50,333
Speaker 16: And he needed to go.

2232
01:41:50,572 --> 01:41:51,452
Speaker 18: Really yeah.

2233
01:41:51,893 --> 01:41:55,532
Speaker 14: But in the end he did go and that and

2234
01:41:55,652 --> 01:42:01,333
Speaker 14: it was much better. But on the whole they were wonderful,

2235
01:42:01,532 --> 01:42:04,772
Speaker 14: absolutely wonderful. And the one we've got now is great,

2236

2272
01:44:00,333 --> 01:44:05,892
Speaker 18: He He would be about twenty twenty one. I went

2273
01:44:06,013 --> 01:44:08,973
Speaker 18: to his wedding along with my steps son, who was

2274
01:44:09,013 --> 01:44:12,933
Speaker 18: a great maters, and my step son met one of

2275
01:44:12,973 --> 01:44:15,732
Speaker 18: the bridesmaids and so then I had to go back

2276
01:44:15,772 --> 01:44:16,372
Speaker 18: a year later.

2277
01:44:18,412 --> 01:44:19,012
Speaker 2: That's well done.

2278
01:44:20,293 --> 01:44:23,692
Speaker 18: But because that's my speech there, I said that at

2279
01:44:23,772 --> 01:44:26,093
Speaker 18: his wedding, I said, when we saw and come, we

2280
01:44:26,213 --> 01:44:30,452
Speaker 18: expected a good old boy driving a pickup truck with

2281
01:44:30,572 --> 01:44:34,492
Speaker 18: a Confederate flag on the door, a jar of white

2282
01:44:34,612 --> 01:44:39,932
Speaker 18: lightning on the seat, and uttering occasional cries of year.

2283
01:44:42,612 --> 01:44:44,213
Speaker 18: You wasn't like that at all.

2284
01:44:44,492 --> 01:44:46,372
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny, because he had gone well on the

2285
01:44:46,452 --> 01:44:49,053
Speaker 2: chain of islands like that, I think yes.

2286
01:44:49,253 --> 01:44:51,572
Speaker 18: And I was telling him, as you were tucking into

2287
01:44:51,692 --> 01:44:56,093
Speaker 18: crayfish and power and wreckers, we were allowed to hunt

2288
01:44:56,173 --> 01:44:59,013
Speaker 18: wickers on the Chathams, by the way, and I'd say,

2289
01:44:59,253 --> 01:45:03,772
Speaker 18: beat up, John, you'll missless when you're chewing on raw

2290
01:45:03,933 --> 01:45:09,333
Speaker 18: seal meat in bath And Island. And because he was

2291
01:45:09,452 --> 01:45:14,413
Speaker 18: going to a remote island for the West of Ireland

2292
01:45:14,652 --> 01:45:18,892
Speaker 18: with whose name I now forget. I was priming him

2293
01:45:19,013 --> 01:45:26,213
Speaker 18: with Irish jokes like the Irish our failure at a

2294
01:45:26,333 --> 01:45:30,333
Speaker 18: shopping mall and people were trapped on the escalator for hours.

2295
01:45:33,372 --> 01:45:34,772
Speaker 2: Lee, Are you still in the Chat of Islands?
