Follow this and our wide range of podcasts now on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello, are you great New Zealanders? And welcome to Matt
and Tyler Afternoon's Full Show, Pod number one two six
for Friday, the sixteenth of May twenty twenty five. Really
good show today, massive had a great, great, great, great
time laying into terrible intersections. Yeah, but you know, I

(00:39):
came up with the theory on roundabouts versus traffic lights
that I'd love to hear your opinions on. People. Maybe
you could slide into my dms at metheathan z on
Instagram and tell me if you grew with it or not.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
It was it And I think, you know, without getting
ahead of ourselves here, I think the government may adopt
their theory.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But yeah, you'll hear
what's on the show coming up very soon when we
list out what we're going to do. And today, for once,
we did all the things we said we were going
to do instead of pulling out of one of the subjects,
didn't we exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, So that's a rarity, and that's a reason to
listen and download and give us a like and review
all that good stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
And always, always, whatever you're doing, give them a taste
of Kiwi, the big.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything in between.
Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons News Talk said me.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well afternoon to you. Welcome into the program Friday after noon,
end of the week for many of us. I hope
you are feeling good and ready for the greatest show
you've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, thank you for tuning in your great New Zealand's
got a fantastic three hours coming up on the show.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Nice TV, back mate. So what was going on yesterday?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I was speaking at the Property Council a conference they
were having players. Okay, I've got something I want to
talk about here. And people may have experienced this in
the past when you go to speak and your throat
doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
So I got on stage to speak and because I
I hadn't since my lovely partner had gone to work,
I hadn't talked to anyone between when I got up
in the morning and when I went on stage at
two o'clock, so that was five hours. And when I
went in and I talked to the av people, and
I had to whisper because I was at the back.
So then I get introduced on stage. I go on
stage to talk and my voice comes out like this. Oh,

(02:31):
and my throat completely betrayed me.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
You forgot how to talk.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, I forgot how to talk in the interim because
I'm talking all the time on the radio and doing stuff.
It was very rare for me not to talk that
long on My throat must have just started. That's it.
It's like the key we losing its wings. I don't
need that anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
You got the speech, yems. There's been a lot of
about yeps and golf.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
There was no yeps. My throat just didn't work. And
so I got up there and then I tried to
as I was going to try and get out my
keynote address, and I reached down and there was some
water there, but it was sparkling water. So I threw
that down there, and that attacked my throat, and I thought,
what a trader throat, what a traitorous throat. They had

(03:10):
one job. I've prepared for the speech, everything was ready
to go, and my throat let me down. And I thought,
I said to my throat, I said, you do that again,
and I'll slit.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
You buck up your idea's throat.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Do that again and I will slit your ear from here. Mate,
I will cut you open if you treat me like
that again. Throat. Yeah, and you throat started working after
that threat.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, that's good. I mean, what about the Ron Burgundy situation.
Do you not do that just before you go to
do a speaking event as you do the you know.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, I've always thought people that are doing that are real. Really,
I've always laughed at people that do the warm up exercises,
but now I know, Yeah, I know why they do it. Yeah,
I've laughed him and ridiculed and pointed at people for
doing that, But now I know why you do it exactly. Yeah,
if you're listing, throat, I will cut you ear from
here if you do that to me again.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right on to today's show after three o'clock. It's something
we do every Friday. New Zealander of the Week.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, who will it be? It hasn't been decided yet.
And look, the New Zealand of the Week is not
always an agent of good. It's like the Time magazine
Person of the Year. It can be a bad person
or a good person. Yeah, we want to hear it
can actually be an event or a thing. Often it's
not even in New Zealander. But nine two nine two
your nominations for New Zealand of the Week and we'll

(04:31):
announce that just after three o'clock.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
There is still time. And we also want to have
a chat about why do we love it when international
celebrities name check us New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, I've just watched Con O'Brien's ConA and Brian must
Go fantastic show. You've watched it on Neon and he
came to New Zealand as you may know, last year,
and it is just such a funny half hour of television.
It's fantastic. But your tickled pink because there's this funny guy,
this massive celebrity, and he's going around looking at New
Zealand and pointing out how weird we are and it's

(04:59):
so so good. It makes you so proud to be
a key we But why is it? Yeah, and let's
talk about those times that New Zealand gets mentioned by
overseas people and why it makes us feel so good.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Looking forward to that. That's after three o'clock. After two o'clock,
what are the worst roundabouts intersections in New Zealand. A
story about what many would argue as a very poorly
designed roundabout, the Green Lane Roundabouts.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I know how you can fix the Green Lane roundabout,
and I'll say later, but you know, all of us
we're looking around and we're not city engineers, we're not
civil engineers, we're not city planners, and we can all
see how these things could be done better, but they're
being done worse. And also I've heard rumors that there's
roundabouts in New Zealand that are getting traffic lights on them.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
That's crazy town.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's why you have roundabouts, to not have traffic lights.
Anyone that's putting a traffic light on a roundabout should
be imprisoned. It's against it should be against the law.
It should be they should be tasted. Yeah, legislate that.
That is half to two o'clock. But right now, let's
have a chat about hospital parkings. Who plans to further
involve private companies and hospital car parking has alarmed some

(06:03):
doctors at Middlemore Hospital, who say patients often leave the
emergency department because of the affordable charges enforced by Wilson parking.
So the private car parking company does manage the major
hospital's car paking on behalf of ACC's investment fund, which
owns a concession to operate that parking at Middlemore. It
makes millions of bucks a year from those charges that
are amongst the highest in the country.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
What company runs it? So Wilson's Parking on behalf of Tyler.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
What company runs it?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
ACC?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, Wilson Parking, you're adding an ass.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh someone did text about that, and I tex back
and I said, I'm so sorry. I will correct that
going forward. And I've just i mean made my I've
just I've just become a liar.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Not that it matters. I mean, they're they're horrible people.
We don't need to pronounce, we don't need to get
their name right.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, but I mean that's what I'm doing. But I'm
just trying to march Tyler.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'm just trying to save you from four thousand text
telling you that it's Wilson Parking, not Wilson's Parking.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, So from this this hour, fourth, from this minute, fourth,
they're going to be known as Wilson Parking, even though
I loathe them. So they currently the parking charges, I
should say the public parking charges are five dollars fifty
for fifteen minutes to an hour, eleven bucks from up
to two hours, seventeen bucks for three hours, twenty three
bucks for four hours, and twenty eight dollars fifty for

(07:17):
twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
So that is among the most expensive parking in the country.
Does no one ever think when they're by a hospital
and you've got people that are coming in because they
are in bad situations in life, for people that they
love in bad situations in their life, do they ever
stop and think, maybe we shouldn't have the most or
one of the most expensive parking fees in the country.

(07:40):
I mean, surely that doesn't pass the moral sniff test.
I agree, I mean, don't get me started. I think
any charges in parking is theft on public land. If
it's public land and it's owned by the government, then
it's owned by the people. So charging the people to
park on things they already own, I think that's theft.

(08:01):
So I've got an extreme view on this, but charging
more than nearly anywhere else by the hospital is dirty.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Right, super dirty. So we can hear from you on
this hospital parking and the charges you have to pay,
because as we all know quite often when you're visiting
the hospital and you need to be there for a
certain amount of time, you're already fragile on an emotional level.
And then to be charged these crazy fees for parking
by a company that most of us would absolutely loathe,

(08:30):
who would think it absolutely bad operators in New Zealand
love to hear from you on oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty should there be free parking at our
hospitals around New Zealand? All right, talking free for all
that you go there and park as long as you like,
but a certain amount of time that is free for
most people to go to the hospital.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
But Tyler, the opposing opinion is we get that infrastructure built,
and we need infrastructure built so people can actually park there.
And so Wilson come in, they make a deal and
they build the infrastructure and it doesn't cost us as
the taxpayer money, It only costs the people that go there.
That's the counter argument. There, you go there, I've given it.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Why can't we have a New Zealand operator? What does
it have to be Wilson? Why does Wilson get all
the car parking in New Zealand? We hate them. Oh,
eight hundred ten eighty is the number to call hospital parking.
Where do you sit on this one? Is it quite
cruel to be charging this sort of money? Or is
it fair enough to try and get more parking infrastructure
in place? It is fourteen past one and.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Are all parking charges, theft, the.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Big stories, the big issues, the big trends and everything
in between.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It'd be good afternoon seventeen past one. So there are
plans to potentially further involve private companies and hospital car parking.
It has alarmed some staff members at Middlemore Hospital. They
say patients often leave the ed because of unaffordable charges
enforced by Wilson Parking. The private car parking company manages
the Middlemore's car parking on behalf of ACC's investment fund.

(10:03):
But where do you sit on this when it comes
to hospital parking? So the Wilson's parking charges it's middle
More currently set at five dollars fifty for fifteen minutes
to an hour, eleven bucks for two hours, then all
the way up to almost thirty dollars for twenty four hours.
Is that daylight robbery, particularly for people who are in
a fragile mental state, as it is if they are

(10:23):
visiting family members or friends at the hospital. Oh, eight
hundred and eighty teen eighty is the number to call. Sharon.
You hi, your father had quite an awful experience when
it came to parking.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, go confortunate.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
Egs passed now, as has my stepmother who at the
time was really ill at the hospital and you know,
they were teachers and had a cow park, you know,
just save the car parking past. But because he wasn't
mobile enough. But he actually I didn't realize at the time,
and when I did, I interpend. But he couldn't afford

(10:59):
to visit her every day because of the cost of parking.
You know, they're driving on their pensions and not any more,
you know, I mean South there's a catchment area for
some of them lower socioeconomic people in the country.

Speaker 8 (11:11):
And it's really just extortion.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
But you know that aside, it's the ultimate irony, isn't
it That Wilson might be the operators, But if what
you say about ACC being the actual ultibus owner of
the parting space and you know, licensing to operators, ACC
is a government controlled corporation one way or another, and
so they're extorting money from people, and yet they complain

(11:37):
and bone unmercifully about the supermarkets private sector extorting money
from people. So you know, there's a real irony there,
and that's not this government. It's been successive governments, right.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
So ACC would push back and say they're making well.
Reportedly they made four million dollars a year from these
parking rights. That was as of twenty seventeen, so it
might have gone up in Sharon, So some of it's
going back into the ACC and paying for operations and
people that aren't aren't doing so well. So how do

(12:08):
you feel about that?

Speaker 7 (12:11):
You know, four million dollars seems a very small amount,
So there's slice of the dice is pretty small compared
to their overall budget. Maybe there is a room for
them to just contract and provide the plating for free.
That would be the reasonable thing to do in a
place plate and you pass, in my view, and I'm
not a bleeding heart left.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Good on you, Sharon, and thank you for your call.
Appreciate that. Hey, the six says Matt. I could not
put it better. It's robbery, parking fines, robbery, the problem
with any parking people abuse it, e g. Park all
down the side street shopping areas and then they catch
public transport. I mean, this is a different issue, but

(12:53):
I would say when I argued before that parking on
the street is robbery. What I mean is that, and
people say, oh, people wouldn't move through if they do that,
And I think you should have a certain amount of
time that's free always and then if you want to
keep people moving through, the fine comes in. Once someone's
been there, you decide whether it's an hour or two hours,
the same way that a shopping mall works. And you know,

(13:14):
shopping malls are very busy, and one of the reasons
is because people can go and park in there for
free for a couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Yeah right, It is a great point.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
But we're actually talking specifically about the hospital and this
textas says, who cares how much rich Auckland does pay
for parking at their hospital? Dunedin doesn't even get to
have a hospital. We get nothing. You rich North Islanders
always complain and get everything. The Greens are coming for
your wealth and I couldn't be happier. Suffer says that texture.
I mean, you do have a hospital in Duneda, and
you are getting another hospital. It might not be the

(13:40):
hospital that you thought you were going to get. But
to say that you don't have a hospital lord as disingenuous.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Test and other green's really coming for us. You know
they're trying, but I don't know if that's ever going
to happen. But if you want to respond to that
text Auckland is then you're more than welcome. Oh eight
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call,
just a quick text to here kidday guys. I work
at Auckland City Hospital and the parking is an absolute disaster,
constantly filling up and causing major gridlock in the area,
patients missing appointments, and staff being late for work left,

(14:06):
right and center. And this is with the exorbitant prices.
Now I hate Wilson etc. As much as the next person,
but imagine how bad it would be if it was free.
Oh so that took a turn right at the end.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, I guess the argument there is that Wilson have
invested in building a much bigger parking area than the
government was willing to put money into. And even though
we get rinsed to park there, which seems morally republic repugnant.
It's still there is more spaces for parking than there
would be, as would be the argument. But I guess

(14:40):
the pushback on that is it's one of the most
expensive car parks in the country. So when you're putting
one of the most expensive car parks in the country
beside a hospital, do you not lock in the full
length mirror and go analogy? I might not be the
one hundred percent good person hero in this story.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, keen to hear from you. One hundred and eighty
ten eighty is that number? It is twenty two past one.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking Breakfast.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Winston Peters as well.

Speaker 9 (15:09):
It's got a view on Jerry brown Lean's reaction to
that ruling from the Privileges Committee.

Speaker 10 (15:13):
Yes, I do, but it's not vice for me to
express it on this program. I intend to do suddenly
about it. I don't mind. I don't want to talk
about it on this program. Fair enough for this way
at the Select Committee and a very truncated process because
they wouldn't turn up the course enormous de days has
come to a decision that saw the house to endorse
it otherwise. And this idea of thos and hours and
days and days and weeks but everyone having a chance

(15:36):
of talking more than once and move a members is
in my view, painly wrong.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
That's a part I want to go back.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Monday from six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast with the
Rain drove of the Larm News Talk ZB.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Good afternoon to you, and we're talking about the charges
at Middlemore Hospital. There are plans to involve private companies
in more hospital parking at Middlemore. That's alarmed some of
the staff is. But it's not just an issue for
Middlemore Hospital. Hospital parking is an issue up and down
the country. So keen to get your thoughts about the
cost of some of the hospital parking. To give you

(16:09):
an idea on what it costs at Middlewar Five dollars
fifty for fifteen minutes to an hour, eleven bucks for
two hours. It goes all the way up to almost
thirty bucks four to twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, and a fifty seven dollar lost ticket fee. But
five dollars fifteen hour. Come on, get out of there, dirty.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
That's astly Yeah, I'm glad you said that.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hey, Hello, chaps re Wilson Parking. My possible solution for
the discussion is they build the infrastructure and get eighty
percent of surplus profit until they recover cost plus say
fifteen to twenty cent margin, which is good return, and
the rest goes to the government for reinvestment into health.
But fees capped at fifteen dollars a day and thirty
minutes free for pickup and drop off. That seems like

(16:49):
a pretty logical, very reasonable capital price. And I'll be
interested to see because right now about four million dollars
a year as of twenty seventeen was going to acc
from this deal with Wilson Parking. But you would think
that a cap should be a part of it of
how much they can charge people, just morally when people
are going to hospital and if you've got situations like
this doctors saying where people aren't sticking around when they

(17:13):
need help because they can't afford the parking, that's a problem.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
I get the argument that bringing in a private company,
even if it is Wilson Parking, helps to get more infrastructure, absolutely,
but is that not one of the things that we
would prefer the government to come in and just stump
up yes, it's going to cost them more even if
they subsidize that parking. You know, the Wilson's charge what
they like, and then the government comes in and subsidizes it,

(17:36):
so it's two bucks an hour instead of five dollars fifty?
Isn't that something we get behind? Then when you go
to a hospital, the last thing you want to do
is get fleeced by the dirty buggers Wilson parking, because
your family member is clearly not doing well if they
are in hospital.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
But the counter that I pushed back on this one, Tyler,
is you're a big fan of PPEs, right, yeah, yeah,
Well this isn't that just a Ppe situation?

Speaker 3 (18:02):
That PPP PPP. What I say, I like pe Ppe
is good project God. I just had a highrible COVID flashback. Sorry, Ppe,
I love God. We don't have to talk about punishing
Ppe anymore, an as much as an X man. But
the triple P.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah absolutely, Actually, where is your mask? And how come
you're more more than three a meter closer to me?
By the way, PPP. The other day you're saying how
much you love you all over PPPs. Tyler, you're salivating
at PPPs, but surely getting Wilson to build your parking
building in front of your hospital until so we don't
have to stump up the money for the infrastructure and

(18:38):
then then making the money back through the parking. Isn't
that just a PPP?

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, it's a good point, right, what do you say?
I one hundred and eighty ten eight. I've got to
ever think about that just for a couple of minutes
until I have a retort. But in the meantime, Kai,
you want to have a chet you know, mate, you
want to have a chet about christ Jitch.

Speaker 8 (18:56):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I do.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
I really feel for Auckland Christ Hutch Is not that
just similar that if you've been to the A and
E Department. I was there the other day with somebody
and outside A and E it's a new hospital outside
an that would be lucky if there was fifty car parks. Yeah, yeah,
I mean that's absolutely ridiculous considering staffed the earthquakes, we

(19:21):
had half of christ Hues in car parks. And you know,
the councils and the governments don't look at people as
they look at them as cash cows, don't look at
them as let's let's bring people into the CBD of
christ Huts. Let's get people going again in the city
because it needs it and to pay for parking, and

(19:41):
especially Wilson's who stiffy more than the council do. It's
just it's disgusting. Christ Each has turned into a city
where you can't get into unless you use an uber
or you've got an electric bike. Considering the fact that
we had a lot of car parks.

Speaker 11 (19:59):
I look at the.

Speaker 9 (20:02):
Evening stuff in christ Huts. You've got the court theaters
just started. We've got the Theater Royal next store. We've
got the library officite there, we've got the Piano which
is just one block away. You've got the Convention Center,
and you've got the town Hall and now next year
you've got the Rugby Stadium.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
So there's seven, seven.

Speaker 9 (20:21):
Massive venues that are going to bring people into the
city where they're going to park.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yeah, I agree. I mean christ Church is a basket
a basket case when it comes to parking and all
that plavacain. I know this is taken a bit broad,
but I always think, just get some park, car park
in Hagley Park.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Well, we know what it is, don't we. It's push politics.
So what it is is the people that make these
decisions are anti car and anti transport, you know, anti
individual transport. They want people in public transport. So they
make these decisions not for the good of the businesses,
not good for the city. It's for their belief that
people shouldn't be in cars. And they've been caught admitting

(20:59):
that it's push politics. So it's terrible. I tried to
in Auckland. It's the same. You want to try to
go anywhere near K Road or the town or the
CBD in a vehicle on say a Sunday. You know,
I wanted to take my kids to go and do something,
just there's just no way. It's just an absolute nightmare.
And that's a huge, huge failing from city council.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
And just the cruelness involved KAI because it is cruel
the whole park and ride situation in christ jed. So,
something happens to a family member or a friend of
yours and you were stressed to the max and you
were racing to the hospital and they expect you to
go several blocks over, park up and wait for a
fricking bus to take you to the hospital while your
family member is going through that. I mean, it blows

(21:41):
the mind. That is just cruel. So you're sitting there
stress to the max. Oh, were's this bus to drop
me off at the hospital. It's crazy, that's not And.

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Also too around Hagley Park there they've just taken away
I think another seventy car parks because they were free
encouraging people to walk around the gardens and you spend
money in places and they've just taken those away and
made them paying parks. One good thing is we'll have
lost a little bit of ground in christ Hues because

(22:10):
they've got another opposition company that have stolen some of
their car parks and they're coming in at the cheaper rate.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Who's that.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
I tried for the life of me to think of
who it was that they've lost one in here for
street opposite the theater Oil. It's no longer Wilson, so
they come in at a lower rate.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
It's good news. Hopefully it's a New Zealand operator.

Speaker 9 (22:33):
Yeah, exactly, not money going off shore.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Actually, to finish my little punishing little story, what we
just did is we drove through we had to go
and get something. We just kept driving and we went
up to Saint Luke's and parked and the free parking
at the shopping mall. That's what happens. So you've got
their great plans which are essentially we don't want people
in cars because we hate cars and it's an original
sin for in New Zealander to be in a car,
so we make it very very hard to be in cars.

(22:59):
And then what happens is people just go to the
places that it's easy to be in a car, which
happens to be the shopping mall, and then our beautiful
brick and mortar shops go out of business. Yeah, and
then we have to go to punishing malls under strip
lighting that make me very stressful. Anyway, that's just thank
you so much for your car, Kai, I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
And to Ky's point, I mean, you know it happened
in Auckland, and it certainly happened in christ Church. Even
though you've got those beautiful new infrastructure and developments and
stadiums going up. The CBD's been batling. People love recording
in christ Chuch because it's got a beautiful mall in
lots and car parks they'd are free.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I got to say our texta from Dunedin who said,
who cares how much rich Auckland does pay for parking.
Dunedin doesn't even get a hospital. We get nothing new
rich North Islanders always complain and get everything. The Greens
are coming for your wealth and I couldn't be happier.
Suffer not a popular text.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
I got to say no.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
The responses coming through a nine to two done too.
That wasn't a popular text.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
No, And if you want to ever go at that
text can keep them coming through nine two nine two.
It is twenty seven to two.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Jew's talks.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
There'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis.

Speaker 12 (24:03):
That's no trouble with a blue bubble. The Finance Minister
has got the AX leader on board with keeping film
industry subsidies rolling. The government is investing more than half
a billion dollars into film and TV production over the
next four years. That is despite Act once claiming subsidies
are corporate welfare. A mad hunt is underway after a

(24:24):
serious assault in South Auckland, forcing several Papakata schools into lockdown.
Wellington's Stadium has lost its naming partner. Sky has confirmed
it won't be extending its contract for Sky Stadium's naming
rights when it finishes at the end of this year.
Fire and emergencies say there is still a huge job

(24:44):
ahead of them at the scene of a hayshed fire
near Ashburton. The blaze, which broke up late on Wednesday night,
has burned through two sheds containing up to fourteen thousand
bales of hay. A heavily armed US naval ship that
was involved in the Vietnam War arrives in Wellington today.
The USS Blue Ridge is visiting the capital for a

(25:07):
range of public engagem which the US Embassy says will
deepen America's connection with New Zealand as a strategic partner.
Papakurta rugby club's top two sides have been kicked out
of their competitions after breaching union by laws. You can
read more about it at inzid Herald Premium. Now back
to Matt Heath and Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Thank you very much, Susie, and we're talking about parking
at hospitals. Middlemore Hospital they charge or Wilson Parking charges
up to twenty three dollars for four hours if you
park in the hospital car parks that is run by
Wilson on behalf of acc and that.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
New competitor in christ which is called Central Park, the
opposition to Wilson. So if they're cheaper, to support them,
if you possibly can. The upset's the way it works.
I found myself in an interesting position here from Dunedin
brought up human being. Love my hometown of janned in
the pretty city. What a fantastic place, Dad, My sisters
still live there, love it. But I live in Auckland.

(26:06):
I'm currently in the middle of a Duneed and Auckland
spat after this text. He said, who cares how much
rich Auckland has pay for park in Dunedan doesn't even
get a hospital this textas says High responding to that
text about Dunedin as a Dunedian local, I can tell
you we are dumb voters. We vote Labour no matter what.
So Labour has Our vote even when they don't deliver

(26:28):
a national won't deliver because no matter what they give us,
we won't vote for them. That there's probably some truth
in that.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Yeah, that is very true.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, I mean south Tonedan North to needan They they're
not going to go national anytime soon. That texture from
Dunedan must be a very sad, angry person. South Aukland
is a very disadvantaged, poor area with huge population pockets
of low income people. What on earth has that text
to talking about rich for needs to get back in
his lane. When you are that poor, you can't afford

(26:58):
to be green. Many people don't even know where the
next meal is coming from. Need to get their facts straight.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, nice said, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
That you've sent that's six's look, I agree with what
you're saying there, absolutely texted, but you're quite sexist. How
do we know that the text was I didn't say
it was a male. I don't know what's six. Now
you've assumed, Yeah, you've assumed because they had this nuts nasty,
angry texts that they were they were a male, and.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
This one says it's nice and short. Tell that bozo
if he wants hospital move to Auckland.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Anyway, that's slightly off topic.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, if you want to keep
continue to respond so.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
That rock's being thrown at Middlemore Hospital from my hometown
with Anita, it's not the topic.

Speaker 13 (27:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
I one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to
call hospital parking? Where do you see there? Should it
be subsidized? Free for a certain period of time. Ken,
what's your view.

Speaker 8 (27:51):
Welcome to the show, Ken, Well, I go through most
of the hospital, so I'm taking patient slob records of
volunteer driver and your listeners on the public need to
know that the all the car parks in the hospitals
were sold off by the government years ago to Wilson
and and the DHP gets a very minute amount of

(28:11):
the money. All the rest of it all goes to Singapore. Yeah,
exactly the same. It's exactly the same with the orphan
Tasport trains. Most of the profit of that all goes
to shareholders in Singapore.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
So with this particular card pack, we're talking about the
Midimal Hospital and I believe that it was a deal
with ACC and so ACC reportedly make about four million
dollars a year potentially more now from it. But yeah,
it's exactly what you're saying. Though it's been sold off
to Wilson to run it goes.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Hey, so when you when you say you're a volunteer driver, Ken,
how do people contact to if they need to be driven?
Is this people that need to go regularly?

Speaker 8 (28:54):
I work for Frank and Family Support as a voluntary
driver taking people all over Auckland to different hospitals and sugarcoting.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Right, and what's that? What's that called? I mean imagining.
You're very busy and I don't know if you need
more business or not. But what what was that called? Again?

Speaker 8 (29:08):
It was formerly Franklin on the support. Yeah, now it's
called m A I Light House, new names.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
M A Okay, yeah, all right, And how would people
get hold of you? Go to m A Lighthouse dot co.

Speaker 8 (29:27):
The phone number is on nine two three eight six
two doubles.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Three nine two three eight six two three three. So
it sounds like you do a great service, Ken, and
good on you for volunteering and doing that. That's that's awesome.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
We we served the public over all the Franklin most
of the Franklin area.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah, I'll tell you what, Ken, people like you are
the best of us and appreciate your call.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, thank you very much for the service. Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty so numbered.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Call Jill, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Welcome, Hi guys, how are you very good?

Speaker 14 (30:02):
I had an injury once and I had to catch
public transport just to a doctor, and I would never
do it again. I mean, the pain was horrendous. But
my partner had some injuries and I had to get
him to hospital, and then we had to use our
own transport to get to another hospital. We were twenty
eight hours in waiting just to be seen, let alone

(30:25):
a bed, and I ended up sleeping on a floor
that just smelt like mold. And the hardest thing wasn't
the parking, because we ended up getting that for free
for waiting so long, but finding a bed, and he
was ended up in transit lounge to find transport to
get people home, and so I had to take time

(30:47):
off work just to go pick him up and take
him home because I had the dock a being and
waiting for twenty four hours or more. I actually didn't
have to pay for parking at all at this particular hospital,
but unfortunately it's all changed.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yep, what's happening now?

Speaker 12 (31:07):
Now?

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I go to a hospital in.

Speaker 14 (31:09):
The Hut Valley and you do pay a charge on
the way out.

Speaker 11 (31:14):
And I was here for over.

Speaker 14 (31:15):
Twenty minutes and I paid like three banks, and it
was very difficult to even get a car park there
with a new building and everything else.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
There was not And who runs parking on the trip?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
If y yeah, yeap think if you call Jill, I mean,
I do people think that free parking at a hospital,
you know, is a basic right. I do that that
wish that the government should pony up for. However, many
stories of a parking building beside a hospital. It takes

(31:52):
and it is interesting, isn't it that the government can't
run a parking building because you think, if there's enough
profit to be made, that you know, Wilson, get in
there and build these structures for us, were not for us,
for themselves and make those huge profits. It's quite amazing
that we can't do that. But you can't just make
a little, you know, a little business out of it

(32:12):
within like a little section of the government to run
that and that that that parking building and make a
whole lot of make a whole lot of money, and
that money go back into the health the health of
our country.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Seems as budget But just to your your previous point
in years, I do love a PPP getting private investment
and worth with government.

Speaker 15 (32:34):
I do a P.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I love a PPP, but when it's something like hospital parking,
I don't think we should be profiteering off hospital parking.
That is one element there that the government should be
pon opponent it up, and yes, it's going to be
costing us as taxpayers money, fair enough to it's.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Freaking hospital park what about breaking even? Would you support
a parking building that broke even so it paid for
itself and paid for its own bills.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeap, I would support hospital parking losing a little bit
of money.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
I guess the problem is, at any given time, then
the budget for health in our country goes, We've got
this much money and we want to spend it on health,
and then it's very hard for them to go. And
I think this is what happened in twenty seventeen. What
happened was became quite hard to then go, well, we're
actually going to spend some of our health budget on
building a parking building. So it was just easy to go, Wilson,
you come in here, you build it with your money,

(33:27):
and then you rerinse us for all of eternity.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Yeah, you had no good point. Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty is the number to call. It is
quarter to two. Back in a moment.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and
everything in between.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks. They'd be
where are you?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well, well that yeah, that's right. We're talking about Wilson
Parking right now.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Yeah, And that's that's how a lot of people sound
when they see the prices that Wilson Parking charges.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
That about four hundred people text in Wilson well said.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
What a great scene, what a great.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
How much would you pay for that volleyball with the
hand on it, the actual one from Castaway? Like in
terms of movie props that you would spend money on,
that'd be right up there.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Yeah, one hundred k at least, Yeah, one hundred k.
I don't have one hundred k.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
But that actually I wouldn't spend one hundred k, and
I'd be interested. I might look up how much that's
sold for.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, what a scene and what a ball. We are
talking about Wilson Parking charging at Middlemore Hospital twenty three
bucks for four hours. Absolute thieves. But keen to hear
your view about hospital parking? Should it be free?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
William Welcome to the show.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Hello, and you want to yep today you're you're on.
You want to have a chat about Wilson Parking.

Speaker 16 (34:48):
Yeah, I'm satisfied. How I'm a Westin in west Auckland,
and when I like to what do you call what
do you call spash out on myself. YEP, I'd rent
a room in the city in that hotel, and I've
been going to this pool.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
Went for like a few years now, beautiful hotel.

Speaker 16 (35:10):
That's the start of this year. I go to the Pullman,
and I normally like, I don't mind parking my own
car myself, and then growing up in the elevator and
that that's not a problem, thinking, yeah, everything's the same
as every other time I've come. But apparently when I
went to leave and asked to pay for the parking,
they were telling me, oh, no, Wilson Parking on it.
Now I find that I got a ticket of one

(35:31):
hundred and nineteen dollars.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Well, sid said, Well said why, Well.

Speaker 16 (35:38):
Said, it's that bad that because Wilson Parking owned the
parking underneath the hotel, which is part of the hotel park.
I'm concerned.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, I I agree with you that that seems that
seems that's low. You know, that is it's not classy Pullman.
You're going to a classy hotel like the Pullman. You're
spending some money you got William having a staycation. Yeah,
I think I think that's a bad lock from from
the pullman personally, not just.

Speaker 16 (36:05):
That is they locked their elevators and stuff after ten.
So if you got something in your car and you
rush down there to get it, you ain't gonna get
back in unless you walk all the way up the
three flaws and go in the front.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Right, fair enough? Well, maybe, yeah, maybe maybe shop around
next time, Willie done off the Pullman's for you for
the next daycation. But it's a fair point. You know,
you don't want a company like Wilson being associated with
your brand.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Well, here we go. Here's someone pushing back on the narrative.
Here that's coming through on the show. Pony up. We
as a country are broke. If the government managed the
car park is a business, how much money do you
think it would cost an admin before it even got
off the ground. Two, how many local workers, non hospital
persons would park there all day if they were free?

(36:50):
Is the question? What can we do as individuals not
to have to go to hospital over and above unexpected
medical accidents and events? Well that's a macro look. I mean,
you could argue that our unhealthy choices in life are
why are the hospital car parks are full now? And
you certainly when you go to a hospital, you can't
help as you're waiting to look around with the judgment

(37:13):
to lie and go. We can see why you're here,
and we can see why you're here, and we can
see why you're here. Absolutely, I mean on a macro view,
I personally believe that we health system doesn't owe us
to be healthy, and your fellow taxapayers don't off owe
you to make you healthy. If you're unhealthy. It's a partnership.

(37:34):
You should go through life and try and be healthy,
and then the health system's there in the case of
a catastrophe.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Yeah, you're talking about the smoking corner outside of hospitals
where they've got the hospital gown on and they've willed
themselves out and they just having a wee durry on
the drip, yeah drip.

Speaker 9 (37:48):
No.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
I actually respect that. Yeah, I respect that. I respect
the commitment of the cause.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is and able to cool.
Thank you very much to that textra some fear points.
It is eight to two back in a.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Moment, mad Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
It's mad Heathen Tylor Adams Afternoons.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
News do Steve afternoon to you? What's your take on
the Middle One?

Speaker 17 (38:13):
Kay, guys, Yes, Steve here. Two weeks ago and good
visited an auntie in Middlemore. She had cancer, not long
to live. Part for the afternoon cost me thirty dollars.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Yep.

Speaker 17 (38:24):
Last year I'm in a visit at a friend in
spring Hill. He forgot to pay his tax. You get
free parking. All all prisons in New Zealand get free parking.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Well that's that's a nice week. See anyone visiting prison?

Speaker 17 (38:37):
Yes, and it only gets better. In prison you get
a room to yourself because you can't double bunk in hospital.
My auntie had to share a room with four other
people and she hadn't committed a crime.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
That's interesting because when you when you're in hospital, you
want solitary confinement, But when you're in prison, that's a
punishment what you choose to.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Be in prison.

Speaker 17 (38:56):
She didn't choose to get cancer.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, yep, that's a very point, the.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Point I was making. But all the best with her, Steve.
How's she going?

Speaker 18 (39:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (39:06):
Oh, well it's not too good yet made four months left.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
But sorry to hear that, Steve. All the best, all
the best to you and your family.

Speaker 4 (39:15):
Okay, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
All right, thank you very much, Steve. A couple of texts.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yes, free public parking as part of every hospital and
punishing one hundred dollar fines for cretins who take advantage
of it. Yeah, no, actually crush their cars.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
We can deferly do that.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
That could be a problem. You're crushing someone's car at
a hospital car park, Tyler, you're a communist. Communist is
the text of some truth in that and problem as
soon as you get the public sector involve, you have
unions and they will try and figure out how to
do as least as possible work and as much bad
engineering and maintenance companies would also fleece us.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
You're there, we go, great discussion, Thank you very much.
That is where we'll leave it. Another topic on the
table after one o'clock we are are the worst intersections
in New Zealand. Can to hear from you on that
one one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Talking with you all afternoon, it's mad Heathen Taylor Adams
afternoons news talks.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
It'd be.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Good afternoon. Welcome back into the show. Seven past two.
This is going to be an interesting chat. Just before
we get into that, Tyler, Yeah, sorry, yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Would it kill you to acknowledge that I've had a haircut?
Nothing nothing from the listeners on nine two nine two
about my haircut, well, the idea of the listeners, I
mean from Andrew. Nothing from you, Nothing from Hosking, Yeah,
nothing from Ryan, nothing from Carrie, nothing from Heather.

Speaker 18 (40:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Well, the listeners, I mean they should have noticed, to
be honest.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
But for me, you know, it's a sweet fade.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
When it is a sweet fade. But when I spent
all that money at the local barber and I told
you how much I spent, and you spent the show
just saying that you ever paid, Tyler, you should go
back to that barber and taste of that person. Because
love destroyed your head and I really felt that. So
even though it's a pretty good fade, yeah, she could
just take you, take your hands off and just a week.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
That's pretty good. Was that was that Reuben Blades again,
Johnny Blades? No, that was a guy called Rodney Rodney
Wayne the Rodney Way, not the Rodney Way.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
One of his one of his lackeyes, one of his minions. Well,
very nice, mate, you look very tidy. Finally, yeah, yeah, finally, And.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
You know, if you want to say nice haircut to
me ticks through nineteen nineteen, just assume that it's good
to take my word for it.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Have you put that up on Instagram for people to
have a look.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
I can, Yeah, yeah, I'll put it on Instagram now,
Matt Heathen's it if we can't make a lot of
abuse right anyway?

Speaker 3 (41:35):
What were you saying, Let's have a chat. This is
going to be an interesting chat and it might get
people a bit racked up? Why you post that patrol
Instagram every morning? And frustration builds and Auckland's in the suburbs.
For many locals, all roads lead to one bag problem.
And we're talking about the Green Lane Roundabout. So the
roundabout sits at the junction of Green Lane East and
West and feeds directly onto key Southern Motorway ramps, making

(41:59):
it one of Auckland's most complex and high volume interchanges.
And twenty seventeen changes we're introduced by m ZTA to
improve safety and ease of use. These yellow nose Stopping
zones were painted at by key exits to prevents. So
that's done.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Done.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
That look like a good fight. I've got to say,
just think just mid sentence. These yellow nose stopping zones
were painted and key exits to prevent gridlock within the roundabout,
allowing vehicles to exit without being blocked by cars stuck insight.
But it is a dog. It feels like it's over engineered.
And if you are familiar with the green Lane roundabout,
love to hear from you on eight one hundred and

(42:37):
eighty ten eighty. But we want to take it wider
than that. That is just one intersection roundabout of many
around the country that are diabolical. A lot of people
in christ Church will know the Anzac Drive roundabout that
for some reason, some numbdy decided to put some lights
in there.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
That is the most shocking. The only reason why roundabouts
exist is for a more efficient traffic flow. Then you
get with traffic lights. Yeah, and so people can make
their own decesis, get round and the collective intelligence of
drivers will keep things moving. If you make a roundabout
and then you put a traffic light on it, you

(43:16):
are some kind of psychopath.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Oh definitely. And it's within forty meters of the roundabout.
So before anybody comes at me and says, but Tyler,
that is for the safety of cyclists to get across
the road. They should have had those traffic lights miles
up the road for the cyclists instead of twenty meters
from the roundabout. Oh there's a lot of tecks coming.
Oh yeah, there we go.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
Sick lead sick laod brother love the new fade looking sharp. Geez, Matt,
it's not all about you such an I am guy.
That's absolutely incorrect. It is all about me. Your haircut
sounds great. Look at this. Hey, this is from Ryan.
Nice to hear cut.

Speaker 19 (43:49):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Can you please ask with a lady to drink some water? Cheers? Okay, okay, sure.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I know who the weather lady is, but we'll get
it to drink any more water?

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Can we zone a zone?

Speaker 3 (43:59):
And on terrible intersection? So we've talked about green lane,
I've talked about the Anzac Drive roundabout in christ Jerge.
For you the intersection that does you hidden?

Speaker 2 (44:08):
I think green lane on that I use that quite
a lot. And that is complicated. You've got this intersection
that has a lot of moving parts and we are
so insanely safety focused. In New Zealand, we're treated like children.
The infantilization of New Zealand is almost complete. You've got
thirty kilometer in our zones. I mean I got pinged

(44:29):
by a cop the other day traveling fifty in a
thirty kilometer of zone across Hopetown Bridge. I'm like, come on,
I can travel fifty kilometers an hour across a bridge.
So this treating us like children in the most ridiculous places.
And then you try and go on the Greenland Roundabout

(44:49):
and it is the most confusing thing that's ever happened
to the world. The sign posting of what lane to
be in doesn't happen to the very last minute, ye,
I mean that could be happened way further back. So
I think the green lane one is insane. Bring in
a PPP and put a spiddy junction over there. If
you're going across the top past the McDonald's, then you

(45:13):
should go over bridge. You know, if you go in
the other way, it should be underneath that. If you're
going around that way, there should be another one.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
The last time I was on it, even Google Maps
gave up. Usually Google Maps tells you what lane to
get into. But the last time I was on Green
Lane it was just a big question mark on Google
Maps saying I don't know what to do it. You're
right here, So.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
Should we name and shame the worst pieces of infrastructure
in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Yeah, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number
to call love to hear from you about the worst
intersections in the country. It is twelve past two.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Wow your home of afternoon Talk Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams
afternoons call Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty youth Talk said, be.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Very good afternoon to you, and we're talking about the
worst intersections in New Zealand after a story on Green
Lane Roundabout which is ziabolical and auckland. But we want
to hear about the intersections wherever you are listening in
the country. What are the poorly designed, poorly engineered intersections
that are died bollicle? Oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighties and number to four.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Hi, guys, come to Queenstown Frankton junction. Nine sets of
lights going in hurdious. That's from Cheryl Cheryl, Oh my god,
that whole Queenston Franklin Junction is quite something. But you
have you have a problem there with just just the
one road in you do the one road out of
Queenstown and a whole whole heap of people in the area.

(46:33):
Scott Welcome to the showday.

Speaker 20 (46:36):
Guys, beautiful day here in christ Church, so we can't complain.
It's about twenty degrees no wind.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh good place, lovely, lovely christ Church.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
That's the one.

Speaker 20 (46:46):
So worst inter sections from my point of view, just
one and two both Wellington christ Church right to the
southland down.

Speaker 21 (46:54):
Through Spurtin.

Speaker 8 (46:57):
And it's Struton particularly.

Speaker 20 (46:58):
They took out two massive roundabouts the control State Hiway
one into three streets hitting east to west and north
the south, replaced them with lights and down the bottom
end of town on the Timmerary side I put in
another set of lights. So now as a consequence some

(47:22):
Fridays Thursdays, Fridays, it can take especially in Eshburtons, it
can take upwards of two hours to move two seen kilometers.
You go from the Heinz township into through Eshburton, past
the bridge and.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
That bridge and how long do you was it when
there were roundabouts running.

Speaker 20 (47:40):
Well the particularly the set of lights on the bottom
end of town are the worst ones. But then where
the roundabouts were, you would just have the traffic moving
all the time. There was no worries, there was no like,
you know, just continuously moving. You didn't have trucks stopping
and starting. You didn't have they've widened the road from

(48:01):
one lane out to six moving back into one. Yeah,
but it's like the trucks are complaining, the town's complaining.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
But how they miss like how do they miss it up?
Because it seems to me that would be pretty easy
programs to run, to put through some simulation to work
out what's going to going to happen when you do that.
And look, look, I love a roundabout. And as you're saying, Scott,
you know those roundabouts work great when there's a good roundabout,

(48:31):
it works so much better than lights because people can
use their own brain power instead of some arbitrarily set
phasing of the lights. So when we lay into the
green Lane and Royal Oak and different punishing roundabouts and
ones with lights that have been added to roundabouts, the
roundabout concept is fantastic. Yeah, I love a roundabout. And

(48:51):
it sounds like what you're saying, removing the removing the
roundabout supporting lights is just making it so much worse.

Speaker 20 (48:57):
But it's like the count I ever say, so you've
got a major conflict that's been builders came up in
a supermarket and some other shops. Andiually, I don't know
exactly where they've decided to put the second bridge in there,
but potentially that can take the condition away, depending on
where it's going. Yeah, but the traffic just doesn't flow.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
So because you're talking about sorry to jump in there, Scott,
you're talking about the roundabout that used to be on
as you're heating towards Kai ended right, that's right by
that park, that beautiful park with the with the brick
wall there used to be around out there. One oh, mate,
that would be diabolical because, as you say, most of
the traffic is on the State Highway going towards the

(49:39):
town center, and bugger, all traffic is going the other way.
So getting some traffic lights in there makes no sense
that you're giving those other people going, you know, on
the opposite direction rather than on the state highway equal
chance to do that would just block everything up.

Speaker 20 (49:54):
Yeah, and it's screwed it up. Like so, I lived
in an a street and when they put the roundabouts then.
So I was at the intermediate thirty odds years ago,
and they put those roundabouts then, and it improved it,
I mean sleep. But they decided that there were apparently
too many accidents together, which I never in my thirty

(50:16):
something years of driving, never encountered and accident here at all.
But they decided, in their infinite wisdom that to control
the traffic better and to make it easier for people
that don't like roundabouts, that they would take out the
take out the roundabout and put in traffic lights. Now,
as I say, the trucks, the truck driver is an

(50:36):
expert in the bridge trucking town. The truck drivers are
complaining to EASYTA, or the companies are complaining to Easyta
that it is slowing the junis up by up to
half an hour to an hour each way.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
Yeah, well that's not how we get in New Zealand moving.

Speaker 5 (50:53):
Is that.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
That's not going to sort out our productivity.

Speaker 20 (50:56):
It's not there.

Speaker 11 (50:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 20 (50:58):
As I say, so, they've gone from being single lane
roundabouts and big roundabouts sort of not as big as
the sock Moon roundabout there in christ Hie, but bigger
enough round so you can get a truck going around
the evening half. So now there's six lanes going either
direction north, south, east, end west where you've got a
left turning lane, a straight through lane, a left straight

(51:20):
through turning right lane on every side and it's just
cocked up the traffic all together.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Yeah, there we go. That's a contender.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
That is a massive contender. The Ashburn and roundabout that
is no more and just do the old traffic lights.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Yeah. Hey, I'm changing my mind here on roundabouts and
I'm feeling bad for slacking off the green lane roundabout
because it just struck me that traffic lights are for
the week, aren't they. Yeah, traffic lights are for the week.
And scared that want other people to make decisions for them.
And even though the green line green lane round about
in Auckland and the Royal Oak one are challenging. And
when I first moved to Auckland, I got stuck in

(51:53):
the Royal Oak round about it and I got terrified.
I've never been in a two lane roundabout before and
I ended up just going around and round around a
circles in the middle terrified.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
And how long were you stuck in there? To other people?

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Two days? Yeah, two days just going round around before
I could find until you.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Ran out of fuel and they had to be dragged
out of there.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
But the thing is that you know, once you learn it,
I think, I think we've just got people. Just got
to handle it right, handle the jendle. It's a because
as confusing as some roundabouts could be, and definitely green
lane could be signposted better, so you knew an advance
which lane you need to be in to go straight
through or onto the motorway or whatever. Still, once you've

(52:32):
done it, you know that you should be confident enough
to deal with the roundabouts. So I say, I'm not
going to run down roundabouts. More roundabouts, Yeah, less traffic lights.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
Roundabouts are for the brave. Oh eight one hundred and
eighty ten eighty one.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Is it's a confidence thing, right, Yeah? Traffic lights are
for the week and scared that want their handheld.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
I love to hear from you on this one. Where
are the worst intersections in New Zealand's Hey, Matt nicyer cut,
thank you. The worst stretch of road is State Highway
two in between Marsterton and Carterton. Three new roundabouts when
we only needed two and a cheese grater right up
the middle. Has made it narrow enough that if you
get stuck behind a tractor, you can't get past. Cheers

(53:07):
Tony in the sunny wrapper. Oh the old cheese greater
up the middle. Yeah that is frustrating. Yeah all right, okay,
all right, let's get into it. Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighties the number to call twenty two past two.
Great news, New Zealand homeowners all want to be homeowners.
Dosh has started doing home loans.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Not your standard run of the mill set up. These
are freaking great home loans.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
And better yet, they come with Dosh Streak so you
can get cash back every single year you stick with
them kitching.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
So you literally get paid to streak.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
Yeah, Dosh didn't stop their Dosh home loans are also
freaking easy to apply online.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
And there's no paperwork to apply. It's all online. You
can apply for a home loan in your slippers.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Not on Dosh yet, just go to Dosh dot Nz
and check out their freaking great home loans.

Speaker 2 (53:53):
Dosh home loans are approved, issued and managed by Westpac
New Zealand Limited and promoted by Dosh.

MATD.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
Heathen Tyler Adams.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty on News
Talk ZB afternoon.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
We're talking about the worst intersections in New Zealand, name
and shame.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
Yeah, and look, since I came out in favor of roundabouts,
I realized we were running down a roundabout. But roundabouts
are generally better than traffic lights. And as I said before,
I think people that prefer traffic lights are weak people
that are scared and they want to be told what
to do. They want the government to organize every second
of their life. Whereas roundabouts they they incentivize personal responsibility

(54:45):
and an opportunity to show.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
What you got.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
You don't need a color to tell you what to do.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I love roundabouts, says Josephine. Good on you nice. I
live in roundabout city Hamilton. They keep their traffic moving.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah, go on your Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Hamilton is roundabout city, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Guys. We're stretch of road Katikati to Toto on the
State Highway too, and worst intersection is Right's road. They
have basically locked them in with cheese cut of wire
and stupid yellow bendy cones won't change it either, dreadful.

Speaker 19 (55:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (55:16):
Yeah, there you go. Okay, Jeremy, welcome the show. You
want to talk about Green Lane?

Speaker 4 (55:21):
I sure do. I enjoy the opportunity to piling on
Green Lane. I've travel traveled that thing probably twice the
day the last fifteen years, so it's a pretty intimate
part of my life. It's a rare, rare beat that thing.
It's a combination of a roundabout, some traffic lights, and
then a motorway as well. So part of the problem

(55:42):
is you've got the traffic lights going north and south
onto the motorway, so the traffic backs up, and then
round the roundabout if you're heading north into the sea.
From the south, the motorway goes from three lanes to
two lanes of green lane as well, so the traffic
naturally kind of slows down there, and then the traffic
lights add to that. No matter what time of day,

(56:04):
it's a little bit confusing with the signage as to
what lane.

Speaker 5 (56:07):
To be in.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
Over the years, off and I've tried every angle I've
come from Green Lane, I've come from. I've tried to
sneak on other ways. There's no fast way about it. Yeah,
I've cut up inside lanes and be that guy. Yeah,
not been on that, you know. And in the n
I just sit in the lane and wait my turn.
And that's where you go about any quick fix to it.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
No, I mean, the the only joyful things. If you're
turning left from were to go south, correct, then you
can just around. That's fine, good, but it is a test.
And and Jeremy, when I was teaching my son to drive,
immediately after we've been to the pitching part, I was like,
you have to drive through the green lane roundabout because
if you can work that out lane, if you can

(56:50):
get through that, then then you are driving at a
higher rate than most of New Zealans.

Speaker 13 (56:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
Absolutely attest your patients and everything. And then you tried
it at school time, pretty dirty on weekday. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
And the other part of it is there's a there's
a McDonald's on on the green lane side, so then
which is also the most difficult McDonald's drive through to
get through because you've got to go on all to
you tour to get through that through the car park
to get it to the So that's a whole nother
element to it right there. Jeremy.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
Yeah, it's a part of my life.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
So if there was a fantastic PPP deal done by
the government and they were going to invest and fax
that intersection up, what would you do? Would it be
a fly over from I.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Think so yeah, it'll be ai of a Spaghinti junction situation. Yeah,
and then and then flowing onto the motorway, and and
three like keeping that three lanes through green lane. You
see it all over the place when you go three
to two. It's also up at Consolation Drive you go
from three to two and it just bangs everything up.
And it used to be used to be three lanes consistent.

Speaker 20 (57:54):
Boy, Yeah, taxes and yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
Well you bear that cross, Jeremy, Jeremy, the terrified look
on my son's face when I first took him through
that green lane. It was such a joy that my
daughter through there. His chest was right up on the
steering wheel. He was so close to the You know
when kids are learning and they try and get close
to the road. I'm like, that's not helping your son.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Yeah, So good about you, Yeah, Jeremy, thank you.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
I you call Jeremy.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
Yeah, I do love how that brought you your joy
seeing your son tackle that. I mean, it's kind of
like tackling a storm and a sailboat, right, So here
we go, son.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Yeah, it doesn't get any worse than this. Well, we
raise yourself. We got an aerial picture of it first
to map his route, and he was still terrified. It
was very enjoyable, but you know, good on him. He
got through and it made him. You know, what doesn't
kill you makes you stronger.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Exactly, he's a better man. Now, what doesn't cause a
five car pilot makes you stronger? Oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Cris Welcome the show. You will talk about speed humps.

Speaker 18 (58:52):
Yeah, the christoots. A lot of the Chrisiss intersections are
all raised intersections and the pedestrian crossings, And yeah, I
thought I thought an intersection was designed to sort of
get people through as quick as possible. Everyone that's got
to come up to it's got to hit the brakes.
It might be only quarter a second, but you get
a hundred cars all of a sudden, you're starting to

(59:12):
talk teny of seconds and get into the minutes and
that's why all our traffic and Christich is just getting crucified.
I don't know who the roading engineer is, but he
should have stayed in play school.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
I think.

Speaker 18 (59:25):
It's just a mess.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
I'm with you. I mean that Marshland Road that they
did fairly recently, I think in the last eight months.
What is that about? So they've just had these raised
speed humps right next to the traffic lights. It's just
like a social experiment, just to infuriate drivers. There's not
a reason for it because there's already traffic lights, so
you don't need a speed bump in front of a
traffic light. What the hell are they doing?

Speaker 18 (59:48):
Well, I've been lucky. I've just been to Brisbane mega
size roundabouts and I mean mega size eight meters so
you've got plenty of room to come in and out
of them. And they could have done that on that
new piece of the Moorway going.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
And from.

Speaker 18 (01:00:04):
Martians or not Marstrooms in from Roundure through to Christi
you see the big round They could have had huge
roundabouts here and got the traffic in and out so
you didn't have to worry. But you get around the
round then. But when I come into the town town
like come to town. What especially whilst Martial's run stand
more rodents, All those bloody speech cuts are just a

(01:00:24):
pain in the bum. They slow you down. It's not
getting traffic through, So what the hell is the point
and having them there?

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Well, well, I think there's a lot of people to
texting through. And it's what I was talking about before
around the push politics. A lot of these things that
are put in to get people out of cars. So
we assume that you're you know, your people making these
decisions are trying to make it easier for you. It
does seem that there are decisions being made to make
it so horrible to be in a car that you
give up and try and get on a bus. I

(01:00:53):
guess they haven't backed it up with a decent public transfer.
But that's that's the basic argument, isn't it. Can someone
explain to me why as like as zebra crossing. I mean,
when I was at primary school, I put up my
hand and asked a traffic cop that was the school
of a police officer about a question about a zebra crossing,
and I said, anyway, I think you're old enough to
call them pedestrian crossings, not zebra crossing. Waw, yeah, he

(01:01:15):
to me off.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
But anyway, patronizing anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
All these years later, zebra crossings, why do they need
to be raised. It's a good point because whatever speed
you're going, that has to be chosen before you get
to the zebra crossing.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Yeah, if it's true what you're saying, though, I mean,
this seems like very unethical experiments, human experiments that they
are just trying to, you know, frustrate the hell out
of us any way they can.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Well, the old at box boss got rumbled calling it
push politics where they were trying to make things hard
to get people out of caste. It's terrible. Hey, I
would like to hear while we're talking about roundabouts, anyone
that has negotiated the famous, the most famous roundabout in
the world under the Arc de Trient in Paris, the
one that you see in John work. Because I was

(01:02:00):
over there last year and I was just getting myself
a photo and going across to go up the Arc
de Trionf and I was just looking at that roundabout,
going wow, you would be brave to be a tourist
to tackle that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
How many lanes is it? It's at least five isn't it.
I mean it does look insane.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
Yeah, on st one, I think it's I think it's
seven lanes. It's an insane roundabout.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you've managed
to brave that roundabout, love to hear from you. It
is twenty seven to pret from that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
We're naming and shaming substandard infrastructure in our country and
transport decisions.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
Headlines coming up, you talk.

Speaker 12 (01:02:39):
Said, be headlines with blue bubble taxis it's no trouble
with a blue bubble. The Finance Minister is dismissing concerns
from the taxpayers union, calling the government's film subsidies corporate welfare.
A half billion dollar investment has been confirmed over four years,
with Willis saying the industry brings in billions. Matt hunt

(01:03:00):
is still underway in South Auckland after a person was
found with serious injuries outside of school this morning. Several
schools near Settlement Road. We're temporarily forced into lockdown. Fire
and emergency crews are attending a two story house fire
near Queenstown Shopping Center in Frankton. Four fire crews are
at the blaze just off State Highway six, which broke

(01:03:23):
out just before one thirty pm. Meanwhile, heavy rain and
northwest gales are expected for parts of southern and central
New Zealand this weekend, and orange strong wind warning is
in place for the Canterbury High Country from seven pm
Saturday until three am Sunday, with northwesterlies gusting one hundred
and twenty k's per hour in exposed places. Another modular

(01:03:46):
home builder is in liquidation oh in creditors more than
one million dollars and leaving homes unfinished. You can read
more at Enzet Herald Premium. Now back to Matt Heath
and Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Thank you very much, Susie. We're talking about the worst
intersections in the country when we want to hear from you,
name and shame them. But you also mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Yeah, that's right because we're talking about roundabates, and I
was saying, I'm a huge fan of around, a huge
fan of roundabouts. I think they're fantastic and anytime we
can get rid of traffic lights and replace them with roundabouts,
we should, as I see traffic lights for the week
and scared and roundabouts are for the bold and brave.
But to be bold and brave and show your worth,
you'd want to go through the place of Charles the Girl,

(01:04:26):
which is I think it's a twelve lane roundabout that
circles the act Trian in Paris. Greg, you have attacked,
You've attacked the shells to girl, have you.

Speaker 22 (01:04:39):
It was on one of my first trips to Paris
in the eighties and eighty seven I moved to London
and eighty eight when I lived in Israel. When I
come back, I couldn't get back to the old freight
rooms and I picked up a job in a pub
driving express freight around the continent. And one of my
first trips I've been in Belgium and the bosses to
go to the load for you in Paris have never
been there before, he said, fie, and that that was

(01:05:02):
very rare assuring, And I ended up getting on the
Auto roots a six or into Paris, which is six
lanes and three day between tway and that encompasses the
pure Frip, which is the rain road round Paris. Is
three lanes each way above ground below ground. You know
they had to run on out a petrol on it,
and I think it's where Lady died was killed on

(01:05:23):
one of the exits on that anyway, I came, I
was trying to find directions and I come off and
I did went down this big avenue. I went along
and was really busy, and I was, you know, worried
about with the traffic and everything. But I thought, oh well,
I've got to get through. And then next minute I
went around this big of the intersection and it was madness,
and I looked up and the sort of tree off

(01:05:45):
and I thought I said that before. And eventually I
found my way. I got off it and I got
off the right exit and asked the French Corp directions
and then I went into a Ford dealers and he
told me where I needed to go, and it was
all down Hut. After that it was great. But going
to Paris it sounds a bit blase. But going to

(01:06:07):
Paris after a just became like going to rest Vegas. Yeah,
you just got used to it.

Speaker 11 (01:06:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
So that's so that particular, that particular roundabout Greg it's
got a space for twelve lanes, but especially back then,
it didn't really have the lanes, did it. It's the
lanes were really marked.

Speaker 22 (01:06:24):
Not back in eighty eight you just bought your way through.
But I used to run down to lose a lot
in the south of France to British Eurospace, and they
had a role. I don't know if it's all France,
but they had a rule that if you're on an
intersection and someone wanted to follow they were going around,
you had to allow them to come on instead of
like here, you've got to wait and I'll tell you

(01:06:46):
what else they do over You know how if you're
in a red light and you're turning left or right
and you can't always see the lights ahead. Over in France,
they used to have lights at the same heights as
the cars, so you can look out, you can see
the arrow, you know where you're not obstracted for head.
It's quite good. But the best, the best drivers on

(01:07:09):
even struck ringless drivers and London drivers are the most
courteous and they were just great. The nothingest were the
Italians famously well. I used to go down to Italy
and run next through the mom Blog tunnel that you
have tunnel between Front and Italy. It's the one where
they had the fire and what thirty five people were

(01:07:29):
killed And I hated it in the ski season because
you'll be in a line of trucks hitting it out.
These they're the Italians, and the Italians are lovely people,
don't get me wrong, but they'd overtake you on a
blind corner the truck coming.

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Yeah, absolutely famously. And the other thing with the Italians.
You know, if you're in Rome, people just leave their
handbrake off because you sort of contact doesn't consider the
worst thing in the world. So people just nudge their
way in and you push, you push the car in
front of you until you find a spot. You go
back and forth. Yeah, but a bumper car, it's pretty cool.

(01:08:06):
But yeah, go to Paris and finding yourself. I know,
you're cruising down the Champ de Lisa and then you
suddenly find yourself and a twelve lane roundabout without lanes
around the Arctit challenging, I will say, but it's got
nothing on or hockeyer, how's it?

Speaker 15 (01:08:24):
Scott O Hakier at the Air Force base, there's a
very similar to the Atier Road going into Owington State Highway.
Must be I can't be set one, but anyway, so
the main reason they bought this multi roundabout two lanes.
There's main freight and the same as Ohaki. The main
reason there was an Air Force bace. But if you're

(01:08:44):
a traveling south and both directs both of those roundabouts,
they made it so you have to join the roundabout
where they could have actually made the left lane carry
on through and don't join the roundabout. Does that make sense?

Speaker 3 (01:08:55):
Is this on the state highway? Isn't it? State highway?
Balls to get to is getting south?

Speaker 15 (01:09:00):
Yep, they only did it for the air Force base,
but they make both lanes join the roundabout and not
everyone's going to a Harker of course, same as the
main freight one a try. They actually bought around an island,
so you had to go onto the roundabout rather than
just going straight down the fence line where the freights
and just don't enter the roundabout.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
If it makes sense, I don't understand how it works
for me. I'm just having a look at the map here.
So if you're coming out of the Air Force base
and you want to try and to right you Bulls go,
Bulls go.

Speaker 23 (01:09:34):
From Bulls and head south Wellington for example, or Farmerston North.
They made both lanes join the roundabout. Oh there's no
there's no left turn. There's no left turn, so the
left lane should have just avoided the roundabout and gone
straight through.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
Yeah, see what you're saying, And then you complicated.

Speaker 15 (01:09:51):
You could have kept your speed. There's no giveaway, there's
no nothing. It's just another lane going straight through and
if you want to go to hack, you go on
the right lane.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
Yeah right, No, I see what you're saying there.

Speaker 15 (01:09:59):
It's just an idea.

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):
Yeah, speed dump.

Speaker 15 (01:10:03):
Sorry killer apparently labored did. One of the council of
the local councilors said that labor paid for it, not
the council. I'm complaining about the speed bumps we've got
on pedestrian crossings and I've never had a problem of
stopping at pedestrian crossings.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Well, I mean, I just don't understand why possessing and
crossing would be raised. I mean, you have to stop
before you get you know, the speed needs to be
checked before you get there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
It's already a crossing zebra crossing, as you say, and
there's no need to have it elevated.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
The last time I went to or hockey at Airbase,
I was traveling down on one of those beach craft
and they did a they did something called a matt
what's it called. They had a name for it. It
was it was so cool. It was called a buzz
and break.

Speaker 3 (01:10:41):
Buzz and break.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
So we were coming into land and the pilot because
you know, I was going to the base to do
a speech and we came in and they went came
on my headphones, said we're gonna do a buzz and break.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
I love that buzz and break. Yeah, break sounds very cool.
I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
I'll tell you what a buzz and break is.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
Soon and someone sticks through. Try the original Magic roundabout
in Swindon. In the UK, mini roundabouts feed the main roundabout.
You can go both ways around it. And I've just
had a look at picture of the Magic Roundabout in Swindon.
It looks insane. It looks absolutely diabolical. I can't understand
what the hell is going on with this magic roundabout.

Speaker 2 (01:11:17):
So it's a roundabout, but it's also got traffic islands.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
Scattered around it with various sizes.

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
See, Americans get completely freaked out by a roundabout roundabouts
because they just don't have them.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
You know, there's actually one town that's become the roundabout
capital of the United States, coming with the name of
the town. But it's like Hamilton and New Zealand. Hey boys,
I lived in Moscow and there is a road there
called the Garden Ring, which is five lanes both ways
and effectively a giant roundabout that goes around the central city.
Russians being as they are, the five lanes turned into

(01:11:49):
about ten or more and to drive on it was
chaos where the use of the horn was common when
people suddenly moved into your lane a quick route and
they would move back. I think you meant quick two.
It was certainly challenging to drive.

Speaker 3 (01:12:07):
Cheers, John, Thank you John, and great Typo.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
I mean I'd like to hear from people that have
driven in India and be interesting. If you if you
grew up in India and then you came to New Zealand,
you would you would you would laugh at us when
we said that the green Lane roundabout was challenging. I mean,
traffic in India just flows like a river. Yeah you
just you know in bengal Bengaluru and it just no
one stops. It just flows.

Speaker 3 (01:12:32):
There's no lanes, yeah, yeah, just squeezing where you can fit. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty. The worst intersections in New Zealand,
name and shame. We want to hear from you. It
is fourteen to three.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. It's mad Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
News Talks, Very good afternoon to you for eleven two three.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
That that text that yeah, that texture that sent in
the text said quick route and meant quick. Toote has
texted back. Sorry boys, toot. The other interesting fact about
the Garden Ring in Moscow is it was built during
the Cold War and built wide enough so planes could
land should the airports get bombed.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
Smart strategy from Russia there, gay, Yeah. One hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to cool if you want
to send a text. Nine two ninety two is that number.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
This person agrees with me on me saying that roundabouts
for the week, I mean sorry, traffic lights for the week,
and roundabout for the bold and brave that'd like to
take charge of their own lives. Hey, chaps, love the show.
The whole point is don't use your brain. New Zealand
is always directed to the lowest common denominator.

Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
There you go, yep, nicely said eighty is the number
to cool if how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 24 (01:13:49):
I'd like to bring it back to New z and
those sound like amazing locations when you're talking about I'll
bring it back to walk Work. I present to you
the walk Work.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
Oh my god, that one I've been on there a lot.
It's it's it's better now. It's actually something that's better
worth a traffic light, isn't it.

Speaker 9 (01:14:09):
Well?

Speaker 24 (01:14:09):
I think I'm look too mad. I actually in terms
of roundabout, so I think it needs to be a
giant roundabout because you know, you've got you've got all
those converging You've got what is it Martin's Day and
Snall's Beach, You've got medicana over those roads verging. But
then you've got free turns, you've got lights, but also
people who can go at tea time. And then you've
got what used to be State Highway won from both ends.

Speaker 25 (01:14:32):
Right.

Speaker 9 (01:14:33):
Funny, you know it's funny because forget people sitting.

Speaker 24 (01:14:36):
There look at each other, go okay, he's my right,
he's got no but he's on the stop. He's a
good way. And you see the fair in everyone's eyes, right,
and then finally someone goes, I think it's.

Speaker 22 (01:14:43):
Me and let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
I had a girlfriend that lived in Madicana and I
had to drive her dad somewhere and I just met
him and I had to go through that intersection back
when they didn't have that traffic light from the Medicana end,
and I just froze. I didn't it was it was
impossible for me the workout, and he lost last night.
He had no respect for me already, but he lost
any remaining that was.

Speaker 3 (01:15:07):
Again and in the end of that relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
I think you're one hundred percent right, because when you've
got things the way that's lined up, it is so
incredibly complicated. If that was a roundabout, it would make
so much sense, because people going into Walkworth Town that
they're fine, they just nip off to the left, that's fine.
If they're coming from Meticana or you go through a roundabout.
Would that would be the most perfect place for a
terrifying two lane roundabout, wouldn't it?

Speaker 8 (01:15:31):
Agreed?

Speaker 5 (01:15:31):
Agreed?

Speaker 19 (01:15:32):
Yep?

Speaker 24 (01:15:32):
Perfect?

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Yeah, I mean, because because right now it is big roundabout.
Bring it in.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
I'm just thinking, while we're talking about a lot of
two lane why why don't we just get a three
laner in there. Let's be brave, you know, let's really
step up and move on to get a bit closer
to that twelve lane situation.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Yeah, you do what they do with the tromp the
plaster Charles of the Gold, where you have room for
twelve lanes, but you don't put any markers there, so
it's just a sort of a free for all area
of tarmac.

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:56):
See, you know the strongest.

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Survive fortune what's that? Sorry, will come Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Yeah, on survival of the fittest Walkworth.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
I thank you very much. John.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
You want to talk about Point Chief Road?

Speaker 13 (01:16:15):
Yeah, I've got a gripe to get off my chest. Yep.
Oh excellent. So I bought a unit and Point chiev
like a year and a half ago or two years ago,
and driven down and going, oh these roads are big,
beautiful wide road and big wide footpaths, and quickly found

(01:16:37):
myself in the middle of a construction project for a
green pat at utopia. And so now there's they They
made the road super narrow, John.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
John, I'm sorry to do this, mate, but we've we've
missed a break here. So just hold there and we're
going to come back to you in a couple of minutes.
Just old there. It is seven two three.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons news talks.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
All right, John a g recap. So you moved into
Point Sheer. The road was wide, and then the roadworks started.
Carry on my friends.

Speaker 13 (01:17:15):
Yeah, So basically to cut a long story short, two
years of construction and and and redirections of traffic and
millions of dollars and then they unravel the new day
that they revealed the new the new road, and it's
gone from a really wide road and wide footpaths that buses, cars, pedestrian,

(01:17:39):
cyclist could all share like sweet as to supernarrow road,
a cycleway and a footpath that are both narrow, and
everyone walks on the cycle way now, so it's like
more dangerous. And then bus stops right in the middle
of the road, so stopping all the traffic behind them,
raised pedestrian crossings every hundred meters and then traffic light

(01:18:03):
pedestrian crossings on the race. Pedestrian crossing.

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
That's crazy lane, I've seen it. It's absolutely crazy. It's
like some kind of monument to someone's vanity, someone's lego
project where they had a dream of what something should
be like with zero consideration of practicality. It's quite something
like a drunk trial designed at Josh. But it does
look nice. Yeah, just if you're not using it, it

(01:18:28):
looks pretty nice.

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
Great discussion, Thank you very much. Newsport and Weather coming up,
then New Zealander of the Week.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
I still haven't told you what a buzz and Bakers.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Your new home are instateful and entertaining talk. It's Matty
and Taylor Adams afternoons on news Talk.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Sebby, welcome back into the show. Great to have your
company on this Friday afternoon. Now you've left people in
suspense for long enough I think.

Speaker 2 (01:18:55):
Oh yeah, it's not even that interesting. But before I
was talking about it was very very exciting for me.
But I was talking. We were talking to someone about
the crazy roundabout that's near or Hockey Air Force Base
right and I was talking at the buzz and Break,
which was the last time I was down there. I
went down there to do a speech to the people
on the base. Yes, great speech. It was for me

(01:19:16):
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
You had a fun time.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
I was quite intimidating actually, when you've got like an
entire room of uniformed people with their arms crossed while
you're chatting.

Speaker 5 (01:19:25):
But we won them over.

Speaker 3 (01:19:26):
I heard the after party was pretty good as well, was.

Speaker 2 (01:19:28):
Fantastic, you know. And but that's not the point. I
still about the buzz and break. And the buzz and
break is a maneuver where you're in an aircraft and
it flies at a high speed to a point over
the runway when you're about to land, then makes a
sharp turn the brake to join the down one leg
of the approach pattern, and so you're coming into land

(01:19:49):
and then they come over the head in your ears
because you're listening to the radio and the plane and
the in the in the air force plane, and they go,
we're going to buzz and break, are you guys? You
guys up for a buzz and break?

Speaker 3 (01:20:00):
And I'm like, I don't know sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
They just come in at pace. It's kind of like
in Top Gun with the when they buzzed the out
I need but that was the line from Top Gun.
But yeah, buzz and break. It's a good time.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
It seems like a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
If you ever been flying around in a military aircraft,
ask them to buzz and break.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
Very good, right, coming up, We're going to talk about
something that I think makes a lot of us very
very proud as Kiwi's But right now it is a pass.

Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Three Matt and Tyler.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Every Friday on Matt and Tyler Afternoons on c B,
we named the New Zealander of the Week in honor
we bestow on your behalf to a newsmaker who has
had an outsized effect on our great and beautiful nation
over the previous week. And as always, there'll be three nominees,
but only one winner. And remember, like the Time magazine
Person of the Year, the New Zealander of the Week
as an always an agent of good. Sometimes they rule,
sometimes they suck, but they were always in the New

(01:20:58):
Zealand News. So without further ado, the nominees for Matt
and Tyler Afternoons New Zealand of the Week are nominee.
One also gets there give them a taste of Kiwi Award.
Plays golf like a proper Kiwi absolutely smokes the skin off,
it off the tea, sprays it around a bit, a
lot of bogies in with his birdies, a lot of
time in the rough, and he does it all with
that foxy little tom time of a man who clearly

(01:21:21):
enjoys the odd pie and a drink. Ryan Fox becoming
New Zealand's ninth ye of a PGA winner and forgetting
yourself a last minute tour spot for the next two years.
You have been nominated for New Zealander of the Week,
yes five eight and he's also started well at quail Hollow,
so yeah give him a taste to Kiwi. Number two
also gets the Country Calendar Award. A writer went full

(01:21:43):
massage over and used this naughty word in a mainstream
colin to abuse some MPs, one of which went on
to use it in Parliament to highlight the massago abuse
when he wasn't happy about any of it. And now
the most taboo of words is all over the shop.
It's like multiple megs from the Silence of the Lambs
escaped Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane and started
running the New Zealand Media the naughty old Sea word

(01:22:03):
for becoming the word of the week. You have been
nominated for New Zealander of the Week, but there can
be only one, and it also gets the Beady Irish
Eyes under a Beautiful Ginger Bouffon Award. Earlier this year.
A huge American celebrity came to our beautiful country to
shoot his comedy travel show. He was invited by a
man on the West coast with a bucket for a toilet,

(01:22:23):
but did so much more than that on his journey.
The result is one of the funniest half hours ever
shot in this country. He takes partner Giant Harker, hires
an all sheep crew, and gets into a fight with
a Kia. He also makes friends with the awesome Abbie Hales,
who he later raved about on his huge podcast as
the funniest person he has ever worked with. I met

(01:22:44):
the man at CHRISTI at Chirport, and he was a
super nice guy. Conan O'Brien for ripping our weird and
wonderful little country. And you won with such ridiculously awesome
fun humor and making us even more proud to be
Kiwi's than we already were, if that was possible. You
are the Matt and Tyler Afternoons New Zealander of the

(01:23:04):
week who watch the showing me on It's called Conan
Musco It's great, and also go to every house shows
this weekend or wherever you get a chance, but be
quick everywhere she is sells out. He's a truly unique
and brilliant New Zealand talents So stoked that Conan found here.

Speaker 26 (01:23:25):
All right, how do I get the accent down because
it's a tricky accent.

Speaker 19 (01:23:32):
It is tricky.

Speaker 3 (01:23:33):
So like the word egg, for example, you say, eg,
yeah sweet sweet? Yeah sweet okay sweet yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:23:41):
An eg it's sweet.

Speaker 14 (01:23:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
This has felt really natural, very call less. Give me
some more words. Skunks, skucks?

Speaker 5 (01:23:49):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
That is?

Speaker 12 (01:23:50):
Like a gentleman with careal charisma in the context of
being very very good with the ladies.

Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
So would I be a skuck?

Speaker 19 (01:24:00):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (01:24:02):
News talks it'd be Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
What a winner, fantastic, it's such a good So that
of Conan O'Brien must go.

Speaker 2 (01:24:12):
Yeah, the New Zealand. So the whole series is great.
It's in the second season and our episode is the
second of the second season. But so funny. I watched
it this morning before work and I was just giggling
the whole time. It's really really good. I love Conan O'Brien.

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Yeah, well, that's kind of what we want to talk
about over the next forty minutes or so, is when
we get these superstar celebrities like Conan O'Brien coming here
and absolutely loving this country and us and giving us
a good ribbon as well. But it's not just you know,
superstars like Conor O'Brien. If we get a we mentioned
in a popular movie, it doesn't even have to be

(01:24:47):
that popular or a TV show, we love it. We
freaking go crazy when New Zealand is mentioned in international media.

Speaker 2 (01:24:54):
So you're looking to tackle ourselves for the next week
while people e one hundred and eighty ten eighty your
favorite mentions of New Zealand? Your favorite times when when
big stars and movie have mentioned New Zealand?

Speaker 4 (01:25:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:25:10):
And also why do we love it? I mean, this
is just my thoughts. I think we love it because
New Zealand feels like we're in the corner of the
world where we're a small country. There's only five million
of us. We like to think we punch above our
way and I think we do. And when we are mentioned,
and most of the time we mentioned, it is worth positivity.
You know, we're a good place to escape for thieves.
Sometimes we are. Yeah, you know, we are a funeral landscape.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
We're often mentioned as a place that you would run away. Yeah,
like a paradise like at the end of Heat when
you know the whole objective was they could run away
to New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Yeah, yeah, or we love that or point break Yes, yeah,
great movie.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
Fantastic, we love those mentions.

Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty your favorite
mentions of New Zealand and international media? And also why
do we love hearing our name in international media?

Speaker 2 (01:25:56):
And also speaking of Ebbie Howse, who I was talking
about before in that audio, you should hear what Conan
O'Brian said, as I mentioned on his podcast Fantastic Conana
Brian Podcast. And O'Brien needs a friend. He raves about us.
So can you imagine being her? So she's a comedian,
she's doing well in New Zealand, but suddenly she gets

(01:26:17):
the most glowing endorsement on one of the biggest podcasts
in the world from the Superstar. Yeah, that must been awesome.
We might play a bit of audio from that as well.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
Absolutely, fourteen past three, very good afternoon, seventeen past three,
And we want to hear from you movies or TV
shows or other media where New Zealand gets name checked
in and why do we love it so much because
we do it as kind of cool when New Zealand
pops up in these big Hollywood movies.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
This Texas says third Mission impossible. Lake Wanaka was mentioned
a few times as part of the scripts. So good
and when Tom Cruise talks New Zealand up as a
favorite destination. Yeah, he was down there in that region
for quite a long time. That is an amazing movie.
Is it the third No, it's later than that. Mission impossible?
Is it Mission impossible? Fallout? So there was these shots

(01:27:05):
that need to be taken, screaming around gorges in New Zealand,
gorgeous gorges, and you know, Tom Cruise was like, ah,
to get the shots, so it's authentic. I probably need
to be flying the helicopter. So he learned to fly
helicopters just for these shots, and he was so good
at it and so full on. I interviewed I think
the name of the pilot, the New Zealand helicopter pilot

(01:27:25):
was Elfie Spate. I think that's his name. I could
be wrong, right, but I interviewed him and he was
the flying the other helicopters that filmed Tom Cruise flying
the helicopters that Tom Clues was flying the actor learning
to fly, and he said Cruise was crazy. It was
hard to keep up with them. He just got his
license and just learned to do it and was like,

(01:27:47):
but yeah, that made New Zealand look phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
It is an impressive Doude Cruise, Isn't he Just the
fact that he does all his stunts. I mean, say
what you're will about him, but he is a freaking
legion when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:27:57):
Hey, guys, have you seen Men and Kelts season two
on Neon based in New Zealand. Apparently there's a great show.
I've never watched Men and Kilts.

Speaker 3 (01:28:02):
I think Celts. I looked that one up. Oh one
hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to cool.
Love to hear from you on on this one?

Speaker 6 (01:28:08):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):

Good.

Speaker 3 (01:29:16):
You did that pretty well, Nick, Yeah, well done, Thank
you very much. Cheers man. Oh eight hundred eighty ten
eighty times when we've been name checked by international media.
Love to hear from you and why we love it
so much as well. It is twenty past three. Back
for you surely here on News Talks, HEB.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty on News TALKSB very.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
Good afternoon to you. We're talking about those times that
we get name checked in international movies and TV shows
and by these big celebrities. We freaking love it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:54):
We get pretty excited when we get name checked as
a country. But how about this from New Zealand comedian
Abbie Howles who's just appeared in Conan and Kanna O'Brien
Must Leave, which is a TV show which is huge
in the States, is huge, superstar of course Conan O'Brien,
and she was about an hour before he was filming
in New Zealand. She just got a call could you

(01:30:16):
meet him? I think was at Mission Bay and explain
some stuff to New Zealand And she got on so
well with him. If you watch TV show it's on Neon,
a very very funny show, so well done and rips
New Zealand a new one and the best possible. Why God,
he's funny with the with the guy in Hokatika, with
the with the bucket toilet and his family. That is

(01:30:37):
very funny. But just listen to this. This is what
when Conan O'Brien got back to America and he jumped
on his podcast, one of the biggest podcasts in the world,
one of the biggest podcasts in the States. Conan O'Brien,
he's a friend and this is what he said about
New Zealand comedian Abbie Holes.

Speaker 25 (01:30:53):
We had to go over this big mountain pass to
get Toka hoky Tika, and that was quite a journey.
Before we left the North Island, we did meet this
young woman named Abbie Howells who was sort of getting
me up to speed on I wouldn't say customs, but pronunciations,
how people.

Speaker 26 (01:31:12):
Added, attitude, how slang. And she was, without a doubt,
one of the funniest people I've met. Her improv yes
and was off the charts funny.

Speaker 3 (01:31:26):
You guys are doing like a two persons. Oh my god,
I would tour.

Speaker 2 (01:31:29):
I would.

Speaker 26 (01:31:30):
I would do a two person show with her in
Vegas if I could. She's so funny and really delight
and really delightful.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
She should be an international star. I just know I
think she will be, which I say about everyone. No,
but she was amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:31:43):
She's that kind, isn't it? International superstar? Doesn't get better
than that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
I probably appreciative capitalize on that and try and get
the two person show with kind of lebroun and and
uh Las Vegas, but last Vegas. But Abbie How's is
that she's performing this weekend?

Speaker 16 (01:32:03):
What day is it?

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
Today. It is the sixteenth today, sixteenth That shows sold
out seventeenth Saturday the seventeenth in Auckland at five pm.
So you can get tickets to do at Comedy Festival
dot co dot and see it. Imagine that'll sell out
pretty quickly now that everyone's talking about her. Yeah, but yeah,
I man, she's a fantastic comedian. I've been on her.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Yeah, it's so good. Now a few shows with her now,
A couple of mentions here about times we got name
checked where we absolutely loved it, wedding crashes. In a
scene with Owen Wilson, he tries to impress Rachel McAdams
with his nautical knowledge but doesn't know where starboard is,
and he says, I quote, that's right. What am I thinking?
I'm used to saving down Under with the Kiwi's, So
everything is backwards?

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
Great?

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:32:46):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
In the movie Heat with Robert de Niro, he is
moving to New Zealand. Oh yeah, here we go. I
think I found out audio take off with me for
a while.

Speaker 7 (01:32:59):
New Zealand.

Speaker 5 (01:33:00):
Boom.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
It makes your prowers that their national anthem has been added.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
It's not actually in the movie Heat, but no, I.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
Mean it makes you feel proud, though, doesn't it? It
was nice to hear that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
On the end of that, does Zealand Does it make
us in some ways pathetic that we're so excited to
hear our name in movies and TV shows. It certainly
was before Lord of the Rings, which really put New
Zealand on the map, I believe, apart from the All Blacks,
most people outside of New Zealand didn't know. And even
to this day we're not on most maps.

Speaker 13 (01:33:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:39):
I mean, I follow this this, I follow this Instagram
account that just posts maps that New Zealand isn't.

Speaker 3 (01:33:47):
On maps without New Zealand is a great account. I
follow it. It's fantastic. I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:51):
And then you know, I don't mind the ones where
you know, we're not a big focus of it. But
when there's just a massive amount of the Pacific with
nothing in it and they don't bother to put us
in there.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, that hurts. This one is a great
one GoldenEye. New Zealand was mentioned in GoldenEye as housing
crypt spying transmitters. Natalia was the name of the character.
I can't remember who the actress was, but Natalia said
I quote I know it's there. It's a duplicate of
Servar Nana. It's like your secret transmitters in New Zealand.
And then Wade, who was a year We're secret agency

(01:34:24):
that I've never been to. New Zealand's to James Bond,
how did she know about that? Yes, that was a
good mention.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
It was a good mention. But I don't count that mention.
Why because that movie was directed by Martin Campbell, who's
a New Zealand director. So when it's a New Zealand
director and they mentioned New Zealand's, I believe it doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (01:34:43):
Yeah, all right, point that is a te county maybe,
so Martin sneaked that one in there just because he's
Although that was.

Speaker 2 (01:34:50):
That was the same year as Heat came out GoldenEye,
so that was a big year for New Zealand mentions.

Speaker 3 (01:34:55):
What about Charlie Wilson's War Tom Hanks. Around twenty minutes
into the movie, Philip Seymour Hoffman see as I'm reading
transcripts of phone conversations between French and German generals arguing
over office space at NATO headquarters, and analyzed wired taps
out of Mercury Bay, New Zealand, you know, historically a
hotbed of anti American activity. That was a nice line.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
Yeah that's good, hey boys, Big Bang Theory. Doctor Sheldon
Cooper presents Doctor Sheldon Cooper's fun with flags, referencing the
flag vote give him a taste of key.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
We another one, Breaking Bad, and I love that TV show.
But when Jesse and Jane were looking to run away
with all of that methamphetamine money, they did mention that
they wanted to escape to New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
Well yeah, Johnsys tested that in Breaking Bad. Jesse and
his girlfriend say they're going to move to New Zealand
where the Hobbits are.

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
Yeh, that's right. So proud Peter, what do you got
for us? Very good?

Speaker 19 (01:35:51):
Does the dad say sail away to New Zealand or
something on Step Brothers?

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
Yeah, good point. I think that that was a reference
there Step Brothers New zealandneath the dad, So it like
when he's arguing it's been a long time since I've
seen that movie, but that is a Lemon Gray movie.
Step Brothers, Will Farrow and who played the dead, oh,
Richard Richard Dienkins. Yeah, maybe the sailing boat that are

(01:36:20):
going to go and they got ruined or something that's right. Yeah,
that's a great one, Peter, Thank you very much, man,
have a great weekend. Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is
the number to call back.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
In the eighties Corow Street, someone moved to New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
I mean that was a big episode.

Speaker 11 (01:36:35):
That was huge.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Surely that was just because you know what countries in
the world actually watched Corow? Is it New Zealand and
the Britain end of people that watch Corow.

Amazing You're talking about maps and New Zealand being left
on it. If you've got the ability to google a
Japanese five thousand yen banknote, will you'll find that New
Zealand is right in the middle of it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:00):
Oh wow? Is it right on the globe? So why
would they? Why would they have done that? Do you
know the history of that? It's just the way that
they suppose.

Speaker 13 (01:39:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (01:39:11):
I just think that they thought that that was the
center of the world.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
And yeah, spot on with they.

Speaker 3 (01:39:19):
Thank you very much, John.

Speaker 2 (01:39:21):
Okay, I'll googled it, but I can't find it, but
thank you. I'll keep looking for that. Thank you for
pointing that out, John. That is very interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:39:27):
I've just found out about this. Apparently we were mentioned
in the TV show Full House and I've found the video.
So we'll play a little bit of that we can.

Speaker 2 (01:39:35):
That's pathetic if we're if we're patting ourselves on the
back about being mentioned in the very punishing San Francisco
based if it was ifs mentioned.

Speaker 3 (01:39:49):
All right, I'll play that free shortly. Maybe we'll let's
have a listen to it first.

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
You know, mate, I was living in Belgium there around
the year two thousand and for Toyota and the boss
cracked up laughing and I system what's going on? Off news.

Speaker 18 (01:40:11):
Or seen it to you?

Speaker 6 (01:40:12):
So sat down watching it well driving all left inside
the road. Oh that looks like Wellington. Oh we've got them,
it's at the green bus.

Speaker 18 (01:40:24):
Yes, it was a bit of shock.

Speaker 6 (01:40:26):
Yeah, it's quite cool.

Speaker 3 (01:40:28):
That is a cool story.

Speaker 2 (01:40:29):
How good right? Thanks sharing guys, huge.

Speaker 3 (01:40:32):
Mention in Inders game. Yeah, that is a massive mentioned
inn Inders game. That is a cool movie. I really
enjoyed that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
Have you seen that I've seen in this game. I've
played the game. I have not seen the movie.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
Ben Kingsley, I believe it was. It was Ben Kingsley.
He plays a commander in that movie, very successful commander.
But he was born in New Zealand. That was part
of the law.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
Do you think this one counts? Okay? This is from
Jurassic Park three from two thousand and one.

Speaker 7 (01:40:59):
Even with what I could you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:00):
Afford a better bag? Nowhere?

Speaker 22 (01:41:04):
It's one's lucky.

Speaker 16 (01:41:06):
A couple of years ago, hang glting off these cliffs
in New Zealand.

Speaker 3 (01:41:12):
Yeah you think that Yeah, yeah, let that through easily. Definitely,
that's great even if you know.

Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
I say, I say, it doesn't count. Why because Sam
Nil's on the plane. It's in Jurassic Park three. Sam
Nil's on the plane, So they've added it to the
movie to because Sam Nil's there to chat Tom. So
I don't think that counts as a big up for
New Zealand. That's just that's a little nudge too old
Sam the Grand New Zealand to Sam Neil.

Speaker 3 (01:41:36):
Let it through Jurassic part Steven Spielberg. Did he direct
that one? We're letting in that one through? Directed hundred?
Who directed that one?

Speaker 2 (01:41:44):
I mean he produced it. He directed the first one.
He didn't didn't direct the third one. It's not one
of the greatest, that one actually, be honest, not a
great Jurassic Park. That one.

Speaker 3 (01:41:53):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
I love to hear your thoughts on when New Zealand
was name checked in international media. And if you want
to take three more than welcome nine to nine two,
it is twenty three to four back for surely.

Speaker 2 (01:42:06):
It was directed by Joe Johnson. If you care okay.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
Your home of afternoon Talk Mad Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons,
call eight hundred eighty News Talk ZEDB.

Speaker 3 (01:42:19):
News Talks EDB. We are talking about when we've been
named hipped as in New Zealand, US as a country
being named chicken movies and TV shows, we love it.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
It kind of doesn't fit. But the reason why I
brought this up was because I watched the episode of
Conan and Bryan Must Must Go, fantastic TV show, but
the most recent episode sit in New Zealand, and it's very, very,
very funny. But there's just something about and you get
this when you're coming home from being overseas or when

(01:42:50):
you see a New Zealand to turn up on a
on an overseas show with the New Zealand accent. You know,
when you first get on the in New Zealand plane
to come home and you first hear the New Zealand
accent for the first time, if you've been away for
a while, you watch the news, the New Zealand accent
sounds so funny when you haven't heard it for a while. Yeah,
you can start to understand why people think it is.

(01:43:10):
It is a ridiculous things.

Speaker 3 (01:43:13):
But even in US TV shows where you don't expect it,
like The White Lotus for example, with the New Zealand actress,
and I didn't realize she was from New Zealand when
I started watching. Then I heard that exit and I'm like,
maybe maybe she's from New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (01:43:25):
Yeah, what's her name again? She's a good actress. Yeah,
and there's actually Animal Control. Have you seen that TV
show Animal Control?

Speaker 3 (01:43:33):
I haven't known.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
It's an American TV show, I think since the third season.
But it stars Joe McHale you'll probably know from Soup
or from Community. But Grace Palmer, who is Jason Gunn's daughter, Yes,
stars in it, but she stars in the show as
a New Zealander. She's really really she's really really good
in it. And I enjoy Animal Control. It's a really

(01:43:55):
cool show. But when she comes just messes with your mind.
It's like the dimensions are bending because you're hearing a
New Zealand accient where it shouldn't be, and it sounds weird,
but it sounds normal like home, but it sounds alien.
It's really interesting and.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
I just had to look up morgana O'Reilly was.

Speaker 2 (01:44:15):
Yeah, And people are mentioning The Hateful Eight and Zoe
what's her name is it? Zoe Zoey Bell or the
New Zealand stunt woman. She's a fantastic human being and
she she's good friends with Quentin Tarantino ends up in
quite a few of his movies. Yeah, I think she
was in was a Death Proof of What as well.
But she's so funny. And The Hateful Eight when she
just bast blasts into the cabin and starts saying really

(01:44:38):
historically inaccurate stuff about.

Speaker 4 (01:44:41):
Mark.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
What's what's the reference that you want to talk about?

Speaker 6 (01:44:45):
Yeah, goody guys.

Speaker 4 (01:44:47):
Yeah, we get to mention in.

Speaker 19 (01:44:50):
The second of the trilogy, the girl, the girl with
the Begon tattoo, the girl who played with Fire, the
Swedish actress. She's Elizabeth Fellander. She comes, she comes back
to the security company that she'd been working for in

(01:45:12):
the first episode, and he's a bit pissed off with
her because she she just you know, left, and he says,
where where have you been?

Speaker 4 (01:45:24):
And she says.

Speaker 19 (01:45:24):
Traveling and he says where. She says off Australia, New
Zealand And.

Speaker 21 (01:45:33):
Mentioned there.

Speaker 13 (01:45:34):
Yes, give.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
The Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:45:40):
As long as we're in there with Australia, that's what matters. Mark,
that's a great one. Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:45:44):
Ivan, You've got to mention.

Speaker 9 (01:45:47):
Ah.

Speaker 28 (01:45:48):
Yeah, just before I came to eleven, New Zealand, I
remember watching a film with Kevin Klein and the crew
that was in a fish called Wander. It was a
follow up follow up movie called Fierce Creatures if I
can remember rightly, and Kevin Klein plays a millionaire who
owns a zoo and he's got a henchman called Nevin.

(01:46:08):
They're both Kiwis, but he's a millionaire. And years later
when I came to New Zealand and I met a
guy called Nev and I thought he looks exactly the
same as the character they picted it in the movie.

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
Where were You When you saw it?

Speaker 21 (01:46:23):
Saw that?

Speaker 2 (01:46:23):
Ivan?

Speaker 28 (01:46:27):
I can't remember where I saw it, on a plane
or something, But then my kids watched the film afterwards.
Years on it was reruns on TV, but it was
the same cast as The fishcal Wander, which I think
was one of the funniest films I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:38):
Yeah, the Fish co Wander just came up on my
TV the other day and I hadn't watched it for years.
That's that's a very good movie. I didn't really realize
what it was about when I watched it as a kid,
but it's that's pretty funny. Written by John Claes.

Speaker 3 (01:46:51):
Of course, hi guys mentioned kind of but actually the
actor Paul Walker in the movie eight below goes to
little to the fly to wentart go. Yeah, that's a
great one. That's that's definitely worthy. Eight below with the
dogs the huskies.

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
Yeah, eight below is a good dog movie.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47:10):
But I mean that's how you get there though, isn't it.
That's how that's how you get to Antarctica. You have
to go to it. You have to go through it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:16):
I think he mentions Littleton, doesn't he?

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, like there's a lot of
bad dog movies out there, but eight below it is
a good dog movie.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
Yep, absolutely, Ryan. You want to have a chat about
Agley Park.

Speaker 27 (01:47:31):
Yes, so in Parks and Recreation there is there is
the town of Pornee is actually the maps of christ Church,
New Zealand, has it right?

Speaker 14 (01:47:40):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
Oh my god. That is one of my favorite TV
shows of all time and I have never noticed that before.
That blows my mind.

Speaker 4 (01:47:47):
Ryan.

Speaker 3 (01:47:47):
I'm going to get you some maps as we're talking here, Ryan,
But that is a great one, Pornye versus christ Church
map and it is pretty much identical, wasn't it.

Speaker 27 (01:47:55):
That is Yeah, that is a great and they actually
acknowledge it. They actually acknowledge it in the in some
of the documentaries about the show.

Speaker 2 (01:48:02):
Yeah, oh well, I'm gonna I'm going to check that out.
Thank you so much. Give me a taste of Kiwi.
We'll even take that mention is the theme to Parks
and rec has got to be one of the greatest
television themes of all time. That's my it's my alarm
on my phone.

Speaker 25 (01:48:15):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:48:16):
It makes you feel good, isn't it. It's quite upbeat. Yeah,
we might play a little bit of that.

Speaker 13 (01:48:20):
Yeh, there we go.

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):
He's got a great key change. We've got to hold
it to the key change. Everyone, here we go coming
up to the key change. Oh so good.

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
That is good. That kind of made Chris Pretton that
their Parks and Rec.

Speaker 7 (01:48:56):
Was.

Speaker 2 (01:48:56):
Yeah, he was a chubby guy. He was just a
guest making a guest appearance on it. And then he
made he was so funny that he became a core
member of the cast. And then someone said, if we
get this guy buff, he could be a superhero, and
so they put him in Gardens of the Galaxy. And
then you've got Chris Pere superstarff either.

Speaker 3 (01:49:10):
Look at him now, Tim, you've got a movie reference
that had New Zealand in it.

Speaker 4 (01:49:16):
Yeah, good afternoon, guys. Yeah, so this was Stitching the Mind,
but a movie back from the nineties. Jsk I'm going
to say it was pre ninety five, but I could
be completely wrong about that.

Speaker 3 (01:49:28):
That was Oliver Stone. Is that that's the one.

Speaker 20 (01:49:30):
Yeah, I'm pretty.

Speaker 4 (01:49:31):
Sure it was one that was just stacked full of
ever you'd want to see at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:49:34):
Yeah, you've got Kevin Cast, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones,
Donald Sullivan, John Candy, so exactly. Kevin Bacon was in
there asn't no boy a boy. That cass was stacked.

Speaker 4 (01:49:46):
Even j Pesci as David Ferry a very subs lit
a role he played, but he did it just s exceptional.
But I think the line goes with Donald Sutherland who
mentioned Christ Chitch New Zealand, particularly the paper, the christ
paper of the time. I can't rely what it was
called reporting early about the assassination.

Speaker 3 (01:50:12):
That's right, We're all about a conspiracy theory that we're
involved in.

Speaker 2 (01:50:18):
So the idea was that they must have had a
heads up in advance, because they had information that JFK
was going to get shot in little old christ Church
before it actually happened.

Speaker 5 (01:50:29):
We went.

Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
I've never thought to actually check it out to see
if it's true, because just on a timeline, it could
be true. Yeah, I'm not saying it is.

Speaker 2 (01:50:42):
Something sounds it sounds like one of those confusing conspiracy
theories that with the time zone. So it appears there
could be something. How would the time zone work on that.

Speaker 3 (01:50:53):
Na, you know we're the first technically, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:50:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
So it's the same thing as like we declared war
against Germany before everyone else because of the time zone,
you know.

Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
Yeah, that kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (01:51:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:51:06):
So yeah, what a what a work of film. I
must really watch it. I'm just just coming back to
me now talking about it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:14):
Yeah, Well, there's a lot of There was a lot
of Kevin Costam beside a whiteboard, if I remember rightly
when I went to it.

Speaker 4 (01:51:20):
Yeah, and also I think the term conspiracy theory was
kind of popularized around that time out of the Warren Commission. Yeah,
you know, as a way of discrediting witnesses and people
who were looking.

Speaker 5 (01:51:40):
Yeah oh truth.

Speaker 19 (01:51:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:42):
Well I was disappointing because you know, Trump got in
and said we're going to release all the JFK files,
and they did release most of them, but there was
nothing that interesting in them that poured over too much.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
What a let down.

Speaker 2 (01:51:51):
But you did get the line from that JFK film
back and to the left, back and to the left.

Speaker 4 (01:51:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
I've just looked it up as well. So it was
a Christy Star. New Zealand newspaper has been associated with
the assassination assassination of John F. Kennedy due to claims
that it's cover of the events, particularly on front page
of November twenty third, nineteen sixty three, might contain prepackaged
information or evidence of a conspiracy. Some theory suggest the
paper's coverage of Lee Harvey Oswald's background was suspiciously fast.

Speaker 22 (01:52:21):
Hm.

Speaker 3 (01:52:22):
Well, but again because it was a misinterpret would dates.

Speaker 2 (01:52:26):
Well, what would be the advantage in having a prepackage
of the information? Like in terms of wouldn't you want
to shut everything down if you if you were the conspirators,
wouldn't you want to shut everything down? Or they wanted
to control the narrative. I don't know. I think I
would have heard more about that if that was true.
Step Brothers. When Dale's dad is in bed with Brennan's
mother looking at a map where they can sail, they

(01:52:48):
point to the noises group of islands on the Hodaki
Golf North to give them a taste of kei we
How good is that?

Speaker 4 (01:52:57):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:52:57):
Spot? In Charles sid what have you got for us?

Speaker 11 (01:53:01):
How good to go you?

Speaker 22 (01:53:04):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:53:06):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 5 (01:53:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:53:09):
Okay, sorry, okay. So I've been watching Star Trek Deep
Space nine recently, yes, and just going through the seasons
one but one after another. It on Netflix nice and
every now and then in one of one of the
random episodes, they would mention New Zealand. No other country

(01:53:31):
has been mentioned in that whole series by its name
because the same time there are no countries left apparently wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:53:40):
That's interesting because in Star Trek and Star Trek Discovery,
I remember the mentioning New Zealand as a penal colony.

Speaker 11 (01:53:46):
That's it, exactly exactly, that's one of the references Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:53:51):
We become the new penal colony.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
Do you think said it's because they think, you know,
we think of crazy names like timbuck To, So you know,
people look at New Zealand and they go, oh, what
names will we use here in New Zealand. That's pretty
funny and exactly, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 11 (01:54:05):
But we're we're a prison. But also in one of
the other episodes were like a University where one of
the character wishes to pursue his writing career some sort,
so Wellington is mentioned specifically give.

Speaker 5 (01:54:24):
Him as Yeah, it's quite interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:54:26):
Yeah, a president a university will take that said, thank
you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
All right, you're feeling proud to be in New Zealander
out there, But or is it pathetic that we get
excited that because you know, I was thinking about this.

Speaker 4 (01:54:40):
You know, when you're.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
Watching a show a movie shot in New Zealand, you
look at that place, look at the place there. If
you lived in New York or Los Angeles. Yeah, it's
a very different experience, isn't it, because you would see
yourself in your your city on screen all the time.
But I remember that show Street Legal. Did you remember
that New Zealand show Street Legal?

Speaker 13 (01:54:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:54:57):
Obviously shot in Auckland. But it used to bug me
because you drive up one street and come out another street.
If you know this city too well, you know, drive
up Franklin Road and he get onto Sandringham Roads.

Speaker 3 (01:55:10):
Jaylor Guy, I wasn't it, Jail guy, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:55:12):

cush to a crushed rat party for that.
