On the Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons Full Show Podcast for the 17th of April - making submissions to Councils – one came in from Nelson on something happening in Auckland's Westmere. Should a submission from that far away be binned? Should people who don't live in the area have a say? And if so - how far should the radius be?
 
Utes are selling less, are we falling out of love with them or is it just that tradies are doing it tougher? Also old utes. There is a lot credibility in running a old skool Mazda B2000.
 
And it's looking like being a wet Easter - what do you do when you go away for a holiday and then it rains?

Later, the great Lego debate - is Lego OK for adults or just for kids?

Helly Green you said, and welcome to Matt and Tyler
Podcast number one hundred and eleven for Thursday, the seventeenth
April in the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five.
Fantastic show Today, Boy I boy did it kick off
with some pretty angry lego chat near the end, so yeah,
I'd stay listening for that. Things really got pretty heated

(00:36):
at the end of the show.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Out of control. Yeah, yeah, chaotic if you will.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It was actually a pretty things based chat today a
because we were like choppers, yuts lego. Anyway, I have
a great Easter and we will see you back in
about a week for more Matt and Tyler arvos, give
a taste of Kiwi.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Love You.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
News Talks be.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
We seen the big issues, the big trends, and everything
in between. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoons News Talks.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
And welcome into the show on this Thursday, short week.
For a lot of people, if you are working through
the long weekend, heads off here you are keeping this
place running. But for most people it is going to
be a long weekend and looking forward to that very much.
Cad I met.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'm calling everyone in Auckland slack because I had to
be at work at nine am to record a podcast
this morning, yep, and I thought I better leave really
early because I'll be in rush hour, and so I
left really early and got on the roads. Absolutely no
one on the roads. So I think people are hiding
under the cover of some kind of perceived weather event

(01:48):
and in easter to not turn up to work today.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
You say slack, I say thank god because my run
into work this morning such a breeze took me ten minutes.
It was joyous. I've been waiting all week for that.
I thought Aucklanders would have taken the rest of the
week off as well. What are you still doing here?

Speaker 2 (02:02):
That's our productivity problem. Anyone uses any excuse at all
to not go to work.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Today's show because it is a Thursday, that is, you know,
Friday for most of us. We're going to have New
Zealander of the Week, as we always do to wrap
up the week.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, that's right. Nine two nine two. I've got a
suggestion for New Zealand of the Week. It hasn't been
decided yet, so the panel would love to hear from.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
You, yep. And we're also going to ask you how
to enjoy school holidays when the weather is rubbish. Clearly
it's pretty bad up in Auckland, Northland. It is moving
down the country. It's not going to be great anywhere,
but it looks of it.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
A lot of people are going to be stuck in
small rooms with family over this weekend because of the weather, yeah,
and these techniques to deal with it in laws and
such yep, and we want to go into those exactly.
That is a lot of breathing.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
H three o'clock after two o'clock. In a rare moment
for the New Zealand vehicle market, utes have been knocked
off the top spot. The best selling vehicle for the
first quarter of twenty twenty five was the Toyota Rev.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Four.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
So we want to.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
Talk about the our lover fear of ore utes and
why are we moving away from them, but also the
best utes out there and the hardiest utes.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, because there's credibility I think in having an older ute,
a cool ute, you know, rather than just always having
the new ute. And look I mentioned people are buying
less suites at the moment because you know tradees. You know,
we're not in a boom time at the moment, so
you tend to buy your flashy Newton in boom times
and it might might come back. But you know, turning

(03:36):
up is there credibility and turning up on site with
a you know, B sixteen hundred Master from back in
the day as opposed to your super flash amorock.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, it is cool seeing an old beat up ute
still driving around. So if that's you, we want to
hear from you on that after two o'clock. But right now,
let's have a chat about submissions on consultations. The consultation
in question that we're talking about here is Ali Williams
and Anna Moobray's plans for a halipad at their home
in Westmere. It has been given quite a big knock

(04:07):
back by the Auckland Council. They are set to decline
that after a flood of submissions on that particular consultation
and proposal one thousand, three hundred and ninety six submissions,
ninety one percent were against, nine percent in favor and
one percent neutral.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
What has blown a lot of people's minds is to
find out that someone from Nelson can have a say
on is allowed to submit on something that's happening in
Westmere and Auckland. Craig Potton, a chairman of the Nelson
branch of the Forest and Bird Is a polled that
considerations was given to flying low over Esterian birds, habitats

(04:44):
and sighted bird species. Get out, Craig, you worry about Nelson.
You let wesmea worry about West may So can you
just consultate? You know, you know? Can you submit on anything?

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Now?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Could I submit on the on something happening in in Vicago.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Well it turns out you can because Andrew just got
off the phone with a local councilor who's been in
the game for a long time down in christ Church
and said, there are no restrictions if you want to
submit on any consultation the council is doing up and
down the country. You can go for gold.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
So I could fire in a consultation to the Invercago
City Council on their Speed Review Council sort searching feedback,
seeking feedback and where the speed limits to change in
different locations within the Vicargo City Bluff and the wider
in Vicago district. So me, sitting in Mount Eden in Auckland,
I could fire through a submission on that. Surely that

(05:38):
should be screwed up and thrown in the rubbish. As
I'm not a taxpayer in that in that area.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
You would think so, wouldn't you. And that's the question
we'll want to put to you. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty does there need to be some restrictions on
this consultation process?

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Because you get the number they say, you know, Anti
what's going on with this halicate pad? How many did
say a thousand against?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
It was ninety one percent against. They got one thousand,
three hundred and ninety six submissions in total.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
So you see that number and you think it's huge.
But so many of those submissions are out the radius
of people that are affected by it. Yeah, what should
that radius be? Three kilometers?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well they I mean in this article in the Herald
they put a one kilometer radius around this side of
contention for the helipad I there, to me would be
appropriate because one kilometer around that is taking into account
in this instance those who believe it's going to be
too noisy, that they're worried about, you know, a bit
of blowback off those helicopter landings, so regardless of whether

(06:36):
you you know it might be a bit of tall
poppy here as well, but the ability to go further
afield even in And I'm just having a look at
the submissions here, and as I say, there's one thousand,
three hundred and ninety six. I can't go through them all,
but just right at the top of the list, someone
inn Avondale says that they're against it.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah. Well, and another topic on this, I want to
I want to get your thoughts on as well, because
this text is coming through with bourgeoisie privileges disturbing those
around them. I say, no, like there is a certain
amount of jealousy, because is there anything wrong with being rich?
A lot of the complainants about this helipad they just
reek of jealousy. I mean, there's ten a month, that's

(07:16):
what they want. Ten landings a month. You'd get more
backfiring modified exhausts down your street in a month then helicopters,
which in my opinion are called I like helicopters. And
if anyone's got kids, then when a helicopter comes in,
you go, hey, look, come outside, there's a helicopter and
you point up the helicopter, right, So ten of those months.
I think a lot of them are people like that bourgeoisie.

(07:37):
This person doesn't know what bourgeoisie means, but that's fine.
I think these people are more than bourgeoisie. Yeah, but
how many of the commission and the submissions are just jealousy?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, one of the submitters and you'd get on with
this person, his name is you Do Tang. He lives
in Hune Bay and then said in the submission, our
kids would love to see the halley up in the
sky or land near water and will be super cheerful
every time. So that was one of the nine percent
that was in fad.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Oh yeah, there you go. And there's another one. Anyone
should be able to submit against rich morons like Ellie
William and that Mobra woman. What's wrong with being rich?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
That's wrong?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Good on them, right, Yeah, don't we want people to
get wealthy?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
If they gave you a helicopter in return, I'm sure
that submission would turn around to positive pretty quick. Oh,
eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number of call?
Does he need to be restrictions on the submissions to
these council consultations. And the follow up question is is
this a bit of tall poppy syndrome.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, this text callie says, guys, once the revamped rame
go through, only submissions from those directly effected will be
able to submit. At the moment someone from Alaska can submit.
Is that true? Is that what the RMA is going
to do?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Wow? Good question. Yeah, yep. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty is the numbered call. It is fourteen past one.
Back very shortly here on News Talks heb.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends and
everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams Afternoons Used TALKSB.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Good afternoon too, you and we're talking about council submission
processes on consultation. This on the back of Auckland Council.
They have come out against Arli William and Anna Mowbray's
plans for a halipad at their place in the Auckland
suburb of Wesmere. So there were one three hundred and
ninety six submissions ninety one percent of pose, but many

(09:23):
of them were not only not in Auckland, they were
nowhere near Westmere.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
And look this is the submissions to the council here,
but the submissions to the text machine on nine two
nine two. Most of the objections are that these people
are rich. Why should an all black have a helicopter?
I work hard, harder than him. These rich bastards need
to be grounded. Interesting attitude. I mean, Ali Williams worked
pretty hard when he's an all black. Yeah, so it

(09:50):
takes a lot to be an all black. Well, yeah,
I mean that's an interesting point is because so that's
sort of irrelevant really how hard you work and whether
he should have a helicopter or not.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Well, it appears to be how some people feel about
the Mowbray siblings because Rod Juke, who wanted to have
a helipad as well. I know you got some pushback
not to the left that the Mowbray's had, And whatever
you feel about the Mowbray family and how they made
their money, does that really matter if they want to
have a helipad in their particular part of Auckland.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Max here, I'm from Gore and I don't want that
bastard Ellie Williams landing his chopper. He can take my
peel with the court and get a doorbell sick of it?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, okay, right, tell us you really feel Max?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
See see, I'm just not sure if Max is going
to be affected directly by a helicopter landing ten times
a month in Westmere and Auckland.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, guys, tool poppies, simple maths. If the
wealthy want to spend on anything, whether it's a helicopter
or a boat, etc. It's the trickle down effect helping
someone somewhere to get paid and put food on the
table for their family. May the wealthy spend as much
as they can as they would have worked hard to
get to spend on what they want lt.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah all right, okay, Well let's go to Dean your
thoughts on this.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
Yeh, Look, there should be restrictions on the consultations. I
think they should be based on the submission and the impact.
Now with the helipad at west that that really is localized,
it should be down to a one kilometer impact and
anything outside of that area really comes down to envy

(11:30):
and that's a Kiwi tall Poppers Bobby syndrome. As an
organ I'm not a millionaire gazillionaire, but they should be
allowed to have what they want. Put them to the
permission impact on the airwaves, the CEO. Any issues locals
are happy local an anyone outside of that one kilometers

(11:55):
day comes down to envy and they should be bugger off.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
I agree with you, Dean, But to play devil's advocate,
and we've given Craig from from Nelson branch of Forest
and Beard a hard time, and I think it was
quite fear. But to play devil's advocate, I think Craig
and Forest and Bird would argue that their opposition is
around setting a precedent. So they are worried about the
estuary bird habitats. So if they, I imagine, would argue

(12:22):
that if this goes a head, sets a president for
anyone who wants to have a halipad near a place
where endangered birds are nesting. I mean that's there's an
element there that is fear, isn't it.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Yeah, But then it comes down comes down to the
impact of the submission. Now, if you're down Nelson and
you're next to some kind of wildlife, yeah, sture go,
we're talking about Westmere. Please tell me where there is
endangered species around west Mere. Engangered species as the stewage
and to be and we want those clothes. So that's

(12:56):
my thought.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
And there would be an Auckland branch of forest and
bird as well, I imagine. So I don't know why
the Auckland Brunch didn't put something in. Maybe they don't
care enough.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
I just don't know where there's forest and bird around
west You can show me that. I'd take my thoughts back.
But there is something. It's a built up area and
the people are people like Wes. Yeah, let it happen.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Impact I reckon Crag from Nelson doesn't get much sleep
at night if he's worrying about about birds in Westmere.
I mean there must be a lot of There must
be enough birds in his area in Nelson to worry about,
you know, just you know, sort out your own pats
first there. Hey guys, I've never met the Williams or

(13:45):
Mowbrays and couldn't care less if they fly in on
a chop or a cruise ship or on a submarine.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah go from oh one hundred d Thank you very
much mate, thanks for kicking us off a great news weekend.
One hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Love you. I love to hear your thoughts on this one,
should there be restrictions on who can submit to council consultation,
primarily that if you don't live in the area, you
don't get to submit. Love to hear your thoughts. It

(14:13):
is twenty two past one, putting.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
The tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking breakfast.

Speaker 7 (14:20):
The terror of war has now become fascal. Of course,
the Fontira CEO Miles Hurrell is back with us. Broadly speaking,
Are you worried?

Speaker 8 (14:26):
I wouldn't say worried, but it kicks on your toes.
The ninety five of their product goes into international market,
so it's not happened in one corner of the world,
it's happening other.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
We've got some good numbers out of China, but that's
pre the shambles. What's your expectation as to what happens
to China and how that impacts somebody like you?

Speaker 9 (14:41):
Well, I mean I've come out of.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
That lull they had a couple of years ago, so
I think we're threw the worst of that, or what's
obviously planning out in the international market now will sort
of soften things a little bit, you know, because we've
come off a pre low base. I think we've seen
still a pre robust position out of China and the
sort of that short to medium team.

Speaker 7 (14:55):
Back Tuesday from six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast with
Maybe's real Estate News talk z B.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Good afternoon. We're talking about restrictions on a council consultation
on the Bank of Arli Williams and Annimobray's plans for
a how looks to be in jeopardy. I mean, effectively,
it looks to be like they can't do it because
Auckland have declined or recommending declining that proposal. It's on
the back of one thousand, three hundred, let's call it,
fourteen hundred submissions give will take. Ninety one percent were

(15:22):
against and many of those people weren't even an auckline.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
I'm quite blown away by that. We had to check
it up. We're reading the councilor to find out that
you can submit on things that happen at the other
end of the country. That's find anyone can Hey, guys
who were submissions from Auckland for the Wonnica McDonald's as
from Michael Resource Management app has aided NIMBYism from every
Tom Dick and Harry there's some talk coming through in
the RMA. I'm not hundred sure about this. I'm trying

(15:46):
to find out where it would restrict the area that
people can can come in and have their say on it. Yeah,
because I'd say, for how you know, if it's not
directly affecting you, then how why would anyone listen to
you as someone says that. Look, maybe everyone should ever say,
but it should be waited to know. If it comes
in from Nelson, then it gets less waiting than someone

(16:07):
that lives.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Up the road as and straight to the waistband, because
you can't stop people submitting. That's fair enough. But as
soon as that comes in and that sees Craig from Nelson,
you gory.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We'll put you over here, over here, and we'll read
the direct neighbor to the furnace, bow down to the
rich mat You make me sick. You're happy for Ellie
and his chopper to cut through birds, whereas your moral
compass you get rich by screwing people over That's it, okay, right?

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, cutting through birds are right. I didn't know he
was he was into that sort of thing. I know
you've got problems with dodderals, but I don't think. I
don't think for their destruction.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Is Ellie actually flying that chopper, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
He's a talented man.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, I don't know. Things a bit harsh to say
that they're just chopping through birds to land there. There's
just there's just feathers flying everywhere as they come to
let That seems a little bit hysterical texture. Yeah, thanks
for texts though, Yeah, Doug, Doug, welcome to show.

Speaker 10 (17:06):
I got a two poorns. I think anybody should be
able to submit the reason being as precedents. If we're
going to trust politicians and judges in this country, they
all look at previous cases in previous judgments, right or wrong,

(17:30):
this precedence, so anybody should be able to The other
thing is crashes. There's an awful lot of helicopter crashes
in this country for the size of the country and
the size of the population and the number of helicopters.
Don't tell me that they're all in the mountains and

(17:50):
all that sort of thing. They are everywhere.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, but you'd have to say that those helicopters aren't
going to crash on Craig from Nelson. So if the
people in the general area are happy with the risk.
Then then that's a very different thing than someone else
blasting in from the other end of the country saying
they're worried about it.

Speaker 10 (18:08):
Well, you haven't linked those two things I've put together.
I'm talking about precedence as well and flying over populated
areas with not so experienced pilots and all sorts of.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
So you are anti your anti helicopter in general, not
a bit.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
No, No, I've been in deer recovery. Well, just we're
little little aside. Those are the two points that I
wanted to make buying the danger of flying over people
who are even experienced frying over heavily populated areas anywhere

(18:53):
in the country.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
So what you're saying is if someone comes in from
Nelson Nelson, you know that the Nelson ones on birds,
but it's a different thing. But you're saying that you
believe that if something goes through in Auckland, then it
can be rolled out everywhere else. And that's why you
know it becomes a president and it's more likely to
be rolled out in your area as that's basically your
point is that Doug, of course it.

Speaker 10 (19:15):
Is you're side tracked with this forest and bird thing.
Forget that and look at the general population as well,
and people's care for their own safety and their own well.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Thanks so much for your call, Doug.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
And look a few techs are making that same point
about the president. But what I would say, I mean,
the opposite can be true as well. And this is
a problem with no restrictions on these submissions, that if
anybody has a problem with somebody who wants to do something,
and in this case, the Mowbrays are very public figures
and they have a business that for some reason winds
people up. So because of who they are, they get

(19:52):
massive pushback from all these submitters who don't have any
skin in the game. It's not because of the helipad,
really is it. Let's be honest here, It's because it's
the Mowbray's. Yeah, I mean of that, a lot of
it is is because of the Mowbray's. And that could be.
I mean, if you wanted to, I don't know, put
a swimming pool in your place, for example, and someone
who had a problem with you decided, nah, I don't

(20:13):
want Matt Heath to have a swimming pool because he
did me dirty ten years ago. He can put a
some emission to.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
That tall, good looking, mixed all black billionaire. I don't
want him having a pool.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's got a nice ring to it.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Hey, guys, a great show. Really interesting the tall poppy
rains in New Zealand, doesn't it. I just wonder if
the people complaining or objecting to the helicopter landing and
taking off, how do I get on? How do I
get on when there's emergency sirens firing an ambo? Do
they grizzle about that? Because I'm sure that happens more
than ten times a month and wismea regards Craig. Yeah,
I mean, that's the interesting things about things that annoy you,

(20:47):
because I know, for an example, what's a good example
about it? Like you know, say you've got a bird
and it's chirping, right, Yep, that's pretty annoying noise. Yeah,
But if it was a someone's alarm making that sound
blasting out of their house yep, if you know what
I mean, then you'd be annoyed because there's a person

(21:08):
and on it. So is it actually the helicopter or
your emotions towards the people that are flying in the helicopter?
That's the question. Because there's if a helicopter flies over
the top, and it's a police helicopter, you go, oh,
that's fine. If it's a if it's a you know,
a riscue helicopter, that's fine, same noise. I mean, there's
a philosophical example like say Tyler, you're running through a

(21:29):
park right, yep, and someone tackles you from behind and
you hit the ground. Yep, you're angry. Right, But say
I then give you the information that you're playing rugby.
It's the same event happening to you. You're getting tackled
and hitting the ground the same amount of pain, but
there's a different mental spin on it. Yeah, So that annoyed.
That noise of those helicopters. That helicopter landing annoys people
more because it's people that are using it. Because the

(21:52):
people that are using it using it, you know I'm saying,
so that people add their emotion to it, and they're
biased to it, and that amplifies their annoyance as opposed
to just the straight noise ten times a month. Come on,
who cares? As I said before, there's more modified as
exhaust PPEs that you should worry about in tens annoys
than that very.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Well pought oh one hundred eighty ten eighty is the
number to call. It is twenty eight to two baggery
shortly headlines coming.

Speaker 11 (22:17):
Up New Talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxis
It's no trouble with a blue bubble. Northland State Highways
one and eleven are closed by flooding and State Highway
twenty nine remains closed west of Codonga from a top

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Thank you very much, ray Lean, and we're talking about
the submission process for council consultation on the back of
Arli Williams and Annamobray's plans for a howipad at their home.
Those plans appeared to be up and smoked, done and
dusted because the Auckland Council will seek to deny that proposal.
There were fourteen hundred submissions, give or take ninety one
percent against many outside the region.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Hi there, flying a helicopter is not going to be
like parking your car. And ten times a month is
a lot. Nearly three times a week. Imagine living next
door to that. Let him get a car from the airport.
He's just trying to be a hero as usual regards art.
There's a lot of jealousy in that ten times of
three times a week. Are you seriously saying that that's
too much for someone? I wouldn't give a cramp if

(24:13):
I live next door to that, I would think it
was cool. I would think it was absolutely cool that
I was watching a helicopter land that many times a week. Yeah,
helicopters are very cool. Yeah, and I would enjoy every
single landing I watched. And if you loved it, maybe
you'll give you a ride in the helicopter. And when
my little boys were young, I would have taken them
to the window and go, hey, look, chop is coming in.
Our neighbors are landing their chopper again. How cool is that?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the
number to call.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
The stixusays helicopters shouldn't be allowed to land beside residential houses.
I don't care who they are. It's not how much
money they do or don't have. When I'm asleep, I
want to stay asleep. Police and ambulance helicopters are required
to stay three hundred feet off the ground. Not all
the same. Well, I mean they're coming off over the
water primarily to land. Yeah, that's why people are complaining
about the birds and the estuary. And i'd been fluffed

(25:01):
up by the by the rotors and the backdraft or
whatever you'd.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Call that exactly, And I get that text. I might
be having a day nap, but I'm sure there were restrictions,
and when they were able to land and take off,
it wasn't it all ours? They can't come screaming in
at three point thirty in the.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Morning, No, they went, They went suggesting that but so Tony,
Tony was having a nap, was it? I was kind
of joking a little bit at the start when when
I was reading the first few texts out, like you know,
the one I read that before bow down to the rich.
You are not happy, you know, you're happy for Ali
and it's chopping to cut through the birds, whereas you
more accomplice you get rich by screening people. I'm actually

(25:37):
quite surprised how many people are angry at people for
being rich. It's it's amazing how many texts are coming
through like that.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah. I mean, look, they call it a tall poppy,
which is a cliche, but I mean it is. It
is very true, and it is still there to a
massive extent that when someone is successful, there is an
element there that they didn't deserve that success.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, anyway, yeah, Ray, how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Good?

Speaker 12 (26:07):
Matt, I'm good. Thanks.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Now you are someone who actually lives pretty close to
where this helipad was was going to go I.

Speaker 12 (26:16):
Do, And I got to say I disagree with you.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Boys.

Speaker 12 (26:19):
This isn't about money. This isn't about wealth, This isn't
about it.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
It is to a lot of the texts that are
coming through misseeing hundreds of them, of people that are texting,
it is about wealth.

Speaker 12 (26:30):
So for them it is let me give you, Let
me give you my opinion as a local. And also
I believe anyone should be able to make a submission
on anything before the organ council. If you go and
have a look at the organ council website, I'm sure
they'll take into account as sure the people own the
direct neighborhood as opposed to people who love in Nelson.
But Ali Williams place is at the end of a

(26:51):
dead in street near the Witch Westmere Butcher and with
meth It is a quiet residential street. Now, Matt, you
said you'd be really happy for a chopper to be
beside your house and you'd shot to your kids, and
that's great, yep. But I guarantee you people in this
dead end three, which is quiet, do not want a
chopper going up and down a couple of times a

(27:14):
week or whatever. And I can totally understand why people
would be opposed to it. This is a residential area,
we're not. This isn't a rural area. This isn't a
coastal area. This isn't somewhere where there are a couple
of houses of big plots of land.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Is a coastal area, but you interior.

Speaker 12 (27:32):
Complain it's considered a residential.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Area down by the They are obviously down by the water.

Speaker 12 (27:38):
That's that's very true. But they've got neighbors. It's a
dead end street, and I guarantee people in their street
would not want the chopper going up and down here.
Your call before that was talking about the bird life. Yes,
it's I don't know if they're endangered, but there's a
bunch of like swans and different birds which frequent the
area where the water is, and I'm sure they're living

(28:00):
there would be disturbed if there was a chopper going
up and down. But again, I don't think this is
about Ali Williams and his partner being while the I
hear you saying you're getting there in the text messages,
but like, I don't know if that's what the submissions
are saying. But it's a local relisons area. I don't
think there should be choppers flying and then out of.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
A how close are how close are you?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Ray ah?

Speaker 12 (28:22):
Fifteen hundred meters can.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Have fifteen hundred meters yet.

Speaker 12 (28:26):
Yeah, yeah, So I don't. I don't love by the
with their budget because this is the way we're talking about,
and you could find the actual address just by looking
at I know exactly where.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
I know exactly what. I've been there a number of
times and so from house, but to the area, I don't.
I don't know them. I don't know them. When it's
saying I've been there enough times, I don't know them,
but I know exactly where it is, I've been down there.

Speaker 12 (28:47):
Yeah yeah, but like what, like does their chopper impact
me being a common app way, No, it doesn't. But
I can totally see why the neighbors would one of
the next weeks, the neighbors who are we're the ones
who were unhappy about this because of the impact that
would have on them to just love like a normal
peaceful life where they don't have a chopper going up

(29:07):
and down, and in my opinion, like the choppers in
the residential area, I think just shouldn't happen. Like I
know there's a couple down in Kerne Bay. There are
two chopper fans down there, and there's much of the
stain of their neighbors down there. I just don't think
that choppers should be in residential Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Okay, Ray, going over to the other point that we're
talking about here, So you're saying the neighbors, Yeah, sure,
I mean, if the helicop's going to be landing next
to your house constantly, then sure have a say. But
how far out do you think the radius should be
of people having a say on whether someone lands a
chopper in their house or not.

Speaker 12 (29:48):
I think anyone should be out having an opinion on that.
I'm sure the council would take into account the approximately
with Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Okay, how much consideration do you think you should give
to someone that is, let's say, coming from another city.
Should you give any consideration at all to what they're saying?

Speaker 12 (30:04):
It depends what they're saying. Like you said, the person
in Alson was talking about it from boris and birds perspective.
That has a fair point. Are they impacted directly by
the chop? And I probably not? Like should the people
in the streets have a roller say on that? Yeah,
absolutely they should. How much more don't don't I don't
know to be honest, but you know, because you know
there's a chopper pair down in Mechanics Bay, which if

(30:27):
you drive a car from with me the fifteen minutes right,
why can't they use that like just us, the chop
chopper pair down a Mechanic's Bay.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Well, I guess, I guess because they don't want to.
I mean, there's a lot of a lot of reasons
why people don't do certain things. I mean, my kids
have called it called uber Eatson before, and I found
out the place they called it in for was from
one hundred and fifty minutes. It's outrageous and I've definitely
definitely questioned why they've done that. What about if we
flip it down to a different a different situation, what

(30:55):
about the people that were submitting on the Wonka McDonald's from.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
Auckland Again, I think, I guess it's one of those
bigger arguments about, you know, what things should be in
certain communities and who can have an opinion on that.
I think anyone can have an opinion on it, But
I think that local councilors should have to put more
weight on what local people think about in the machine
like a Frian Awkland. Can you have an opinion about
them at seas and Wonker?

Speaker 9 (31:22):
Sure?

Speaker 12 (31:23):
But like who's really impacting I'd say to people on
Wonica with the helipad and West Math can you have
an opinion of that? If you're nothing?

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Sure?

Speaker 12 (31:31):
Push again, but who's that really impacting the people in
West Math and more closely the people in the streets
where the helleypads could be for done?

Speaker 3 (31:39):
It's a fair point, Ray, but you'd accept with someone
who's got a profile or a family siblings that have
the profile of the Mowbery's. Clearly there is a good
chunk of submission who are opposing this purely because they
don't like them and theirs. I'd like to be the.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I'd like to make a submission to you, Tyler. Yep,
you're calling them the Mowberries. Yeah, they're the Mowbrays.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Well they should get into the bury business because that
rolls off they're not the traveling Mowbray's. Well they should.
That's that's got a nice ring to it. But Ray,
you get my point there that because of the file,
there would be some people that have submitted and they've
probably used very clever opposition argument, but the prime reason
is because they don't like them.

Speaker 12 (32:20):
Yeah, I'd agree like I couldn't deny that. I'm sure
there will be some people who don't like Ali Williams,
and this time because they're wealthy and run boss the other.
But they come back to that the people's opinion, as
you count the most, and this the motion process other
neighbors of them in the local Westmere area.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, yeah, fair enough to Thanks for your call, Ray
lw Is ensure your opinion.

Speaker 4 (32:42):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is quarter to two back very shortly here on
News talks.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
'db have a chat with the lads on eight hundred
eighty ten eighty Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons News talks.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
'b twelve to two.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Matt, why don't you marry Ali Williams if you love
them so much? Sick of wealthy people worshiping other wealthy people.
It's some kind of horrible privileged cult. You feel guilty
about your privilege, so justify by sticking up even richer
I think to put me in the same sentence in
terms of wealth with the Williamson and his lovely partner. Yeah,

(33:21):
I think I think that's a bit of a stretch.
Never say this time, good afternoon, chaps. I live right
in the past flight path of the rescue chopper and Tomoru.
It lands about eight hundred meters from my house. Sometimes
it comes in so over our house it's done near
blows my hat off. I absolutely love it. It's exhilarating.
That's from Carl. See that's my opinion. I don't know

(33:41):
if I'm part of some kind of sick, wealthy, privileged cult.
What if this person's accused me of But but I
do love a chopper.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Right, Well, there we go. So Harley Williams and Anna,
if you're listening by a house next to Matt, heath
to be no opposition.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, why don't you? They should say, Matt, why don't
you marry a helicopter? Rather than why don't you marry
Ali Williams.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, that would have made a Steve. How are you
get a Steve? Yeah? What's your thoughts?

Speaker 13 (34:08):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Look, you know I used to identify as transparent, but
now I can only identify as confused. This is a joke.
I mean, the council knocks knocks back Halipad. Right, So
we've got a few people in Westmere Down and dead
End Street that are going to get upset about it.
I live in town down the bottom of Beach Road.
We've got helicopters crin over all the time, please, helicopters

(34:29):
circling the Starship Hospital, helicopter flying and yeah, sure it
makes a little bit of noise. They've had all the
bloody silents around the around our area and the screams
and in every other bloody noise we get. You know,
these people in Gore, so they complain about cows, Lily, there.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Are people that move to the country and.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Cows.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
There are people that move to the country and complain
about cows amazingly.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Yeah, there for everything they've got. Right, I'm not well
to do. I'm just a normal Joe blow. We've bothrom
a partner and I have a job. He employs people
in New Zealand, for Christ's sake. Yeah, my boss, she's
a female. She employs one hundred and fifty men. You know,
beg infrastructure jobs and awtan, why would you knock back

(35:18):
somebody that has money?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Yeah, I think it's a really strange thing where people
think because someone else is rich, it somehow takes something
off them. It doesn't, it doesn't ten time.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
You know, the noise we hear of a nighttime is
city noise. You live in the city, wesme Or it's
not a badly quiet subjeb.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Of course.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
The lion's raw. Elephants make funny noises. You know. I
don't know what people are just they took in a
little bubble and they say, what's because he's rich? But
they were all rich because they live in a million
dollar homes down there.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, the monkeys are pretty annoying sometimes.

Speaker 13 (35:55):
You know.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
A racket.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Oh man, I used to love it when I lived
in old More Road. When you can hear the lions
roar sometime at the zoo, that was the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
It all depends on the you know, the the emotional
weight you on a noise, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
So when you hear that almighty raw, you think majestic, beautiful, Yeah,
whereas some people think racket. Shut up that lion. A
couple of texts to the break guys. Same couple did
a POSE water Care designation for works in Herne Bay
part for critical infrastructure. There are so much hypocrisy with

(36:32):
the submission process needs to be changed.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Hey boys, there's sixty something helipairs and Wakey Island from
trev Is. Wow is there?

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Well, isn't it good that there's people with that kind
of money in our country to have sixty Do you
want to live in a country that has doesn't have
a whole lot of people that can afford to fly
alicopters around it?

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Or do you want to live in a country where
we do have people that can afford.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Polots need a job as well? You know, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty is the number to call. It is
eight to two.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Matt Heath Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred
eighty ten eighty. It's mad Heathen are Adams afternoons?

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Peter, good afternoon?

Speaker 9 (37:13):
Hey boys, Do these people realize that these small to
seedar helicopters are quieter than a then a whole?

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Well yeah, I didn't know that, Peter. So these are
the modern two seeds? Are they called the Bell helicopter?
What's the official name?

Speaker 15 (37:29):
Bells?

Speaker 9 (37:29):
It's the hues, you know, the ones that do the
the spraying on the fields, you know, and the farms
and that they're just small, small helicopters, you know, yes,
and the light windnesday have the that army, you know,
the cutting, the cutting, the air sounds, you know, which
probably would be annoying, and some aspects of the of

(37:50):
the resident. But it's just it's amazing. And the other
thing I think is some of these people that are
complaining sound like helicopter parenting gone wrong.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Yeah, that's Peter, thank you for you call. How many
times would a chop come in and when it does,
it's only for about two minutes at the moment for
it to come and land. The frequency would I would
say once or twice a day for two minutes, it's
not much to worry about. Yeah, even less than that,
I think it was. They'll ask you ten times a week.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (38:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
So it's been an interesting chat.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Certainly has a lot of pushback on this particular hol
he planned, but also a lot of people saying, who cares?
They have the money and it wouldn't have upset too
many neighbors go for gold.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Yeah. Well, after an hour of talking about that's personally,
I'm excited to find out that I'm part of some
kind of wealthy person cult propping up billionaires, and all
I thought was that I liked helicopters.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I always wondered what you did on the weekends.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Now I know.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Thank you very much for all your phone calls and
ticks on that one, really good discussion. We'll put that
one to bed because after two o'clock we want to
have a chat about utes. We appear to be falling
out of love with utes for the first time in
about a decade. And yeah, you love you.

Speaker 12 (39:00):
I love you.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, So we want to hear from you if you
love your ute, Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.
And also we're after the oldest ute in New zeal And.
If you've racked up a significant number of k's on
your ute, we are keen to hear from you. Oh
eight hundred and eighteen eighty number to call New Sport
and weather on. It's way great to have your company.
We'll see you on the other side. Skilled telling you

(39:27):
you can go.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
Talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heath and Taylor
Adams afternoons news Talks.

Speaker 16 (39:41):
It'd be.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Good afternoon. Welcome back into the show. I hope you're
doing well wherever you're listening in the country and you're
looking forward to a long weekend hopefully, so let's have
a chat about utes. In a rare moment for the
New Zealand vehicle market, a vehicle that doesn't have a
tray on the back or a diesel engine under the
bonnet was the best selling Who was the best selling
car in the first quarter of this year. So that car,

(40:05):
as many of us would probably know as a Toyota
Ra four. You see them everywhere, a very good looking car.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Twenty four hundred and forty four of themdfulls. That's what
I reckon a lot to do with this is there's
two things that are happening here. One with the utes
yep that you know, we're not in a boom time
for traders at the moment, so they're maybe not upgrading
to the ute that'll probably come back. And secondly, they've
got those rad fours, have got a very beautiful car,

(40:32):
They're very well designed. Just the look of them is good.
We're not going back to utes. When I bought a
Ford Ranger in twenty sixteen, it was because it looked cool.
It's because the Ford Ranger changed its grill and I thought,
you know, if I'm buying a ute to go skiing
and stuff, so with my kids. So what I need is,
you know, what I want is something that's not only

(40:53):
fills ticks all the boxes, but it looks cool.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
It was a good looking car and it still is.
The Ranger, no doubt about it. Got sleek lines. Yeah,
it's similar to well not I mean, it's not similar
to the Red four, but the Red four, as you.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Say, say, sleek lines like the I like the flatness
of the front of it. That's what I liked about
when I got it. Anyway, this is by the bye,
it's off topic. So you think, what do you think
this is? What do you think these Toyta hybrids are
going so?

Speaker 16 (41:18):
Well?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Well, I think they are, as you say, beautiful vehicles.
That is what we wanted to go for when we
purchased the Mitsubishi Eclipse in the end, but we had
to wait eighteen months for them to get in the country.
I said, bugger that we need a new car. Mitsubishi's okay,
it's pretty good, but the Red four. It's Toyota goes forever.
Toyota's a great brand, solid, reliable, sexy. It's a hybrid,

(41:41):
so it's going to save your bed on petrol. I mean,
just just got everything going for it. When you look
at Diesel, you know that costs a little bit more
with their road user charges, so that one red four
doesn't have road user charges on it.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, and how often do you have to upgrade your ute? Anyway?
Because isn't it a lot of credibility and holding onto
a ute for the longest possible time. If I see
someone driving around an old ute, I think I always
have a lot of admiration for it. I don't need
to have the latest, flashiest gut with all the heated,

(42:13):
bloody seats and reverse cameras.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
And such that is nice to have. Though they are
no slave trees. I can go right back to the
old school.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
A Masda B sixteen hundred. That's all you need. List
a little Master B sixteen hundred. If I see someone
pulling up, you know, if I was getting some work
done in my house and a trade he pulled up
in one of those, I'd be like, this guy's this
guy's the real deal.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
He knows what he's doing. Yeah, he's done this before.
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. Do you still
love your utes or are you starting to look around.
I will say for some friends I know who have
got the ute, they're not rarely trades. They kind of
work in the construction trade, but they're not trading it,
not carrying around tools and such when they go on holiday,
and particularly if they have to hit a gravel road,
they hate it because all the dust gets into the tray,

(42:57):
and the tray on the old Ranger for them is
not actually that big. There's no room inside the camp
even though it's double cap, so you can't put any
fin luggage in there. You've got to put it all
on the tray. So it's not each as roomy as
people think.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yeah, my Ranger wasn't that roomy, and what it ended
up just being as an extra cupboard where we kept
all the kids' sportscare and just drove it around instead. Garrett, Hey, guys,
I've been building for over forty years and I've owned
over ten high luxes in that period. My truck is
now a twenty and thirteen and I've got over four
hundred thousand kilometers on the clock and it's still going strong.

(43:31):
Toyota Toyota all the way, would never own a Ford Ranger.
Cheers Carrie. So that's how we were talking before. You know,
the most k's on the clock for a ute because
I think this credibility and that definitely. So that's our
top runner at the moment. YEP one hundred thousand. That's
pretty good if you can beat that eight hundred and

(43:51):
eighty ten eighty. I've just had a look at MESDA
B sixteen hundred's on trade me. You can pick up
a nineteen seventy nine Beauty seventy three thousand on the
clock for fifteen thousand dollars. What has that been doing that?
It's only got seventy three thousand on the clock.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
One New Zealand owner Granny regularly serviced four speed column
shift manual goes really well. It's been a fair bit
of money doing the new thermostat, water pump, spark plugs,
distributor bled, all the brakes, tires are a new recent waft.
She's a beauty.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
Here you go.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
I've sold it for you. Eight one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call back in a moment.
It is eleven past two.

Speaker 17 (44:32):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Your home of afternoon talk Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons
call eight hundred eighty ten eighty Youth Talk said.

Speaker 18 (44:40):
Be.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Very good afternoon to you. We're talking about the New
Zealand Ute. It has been synonymous and a top seller
for the last decade, and for the first time in
about ten years, it's been knocked off the top spot
by the Toyota rav four as the most sold vehicle
in the first quarter of this year.

Speaker 19 (44:57):
Late Barry is, isn't you have beauty high Lucks four
wheel drive?

Speaker 12 (45:01):
Look?

Speaker 4 (45:01):

Speaker 2 (45:02):
No, WHYPLI don't you? Highlucks made Highlights has got the
experience of technology of elevens of black working.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
For it, and it's tough.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
It's a compulsory to play the Crumpy and Scottie high Likes.
Thats whenever you're talking about you great edge.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Yeah, the old Highlights O one hundred and eighty teen
eighty is the number to call. Pete. You've got a
Ford Ranger with quite a few k's on the clock,
Oh I have.

Speaker 16 (45:37):
Indeed, it's two thousand and thirteen. It's as straight as
the door had come off for four and it's done
five hundred and four thousand. Change the case, yeah, change
the changes is all about every five to seven thousand
k's and yeah, it's great magic.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
So what are you using it for? Because that seems
like a lot of caves to get done. And when
did you say? That was twenty fifteen, oh thirteen?

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Yeah, forty one thousand K per year. Give you're out
of here wet.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
You're out on the open road a bit.

Speaker 16 (46:06):
Yeah, exactly, exactly, do a lot of traveling, not so
much now, but it's an every day you and it
wouldn't be without it. And I'll get another one to Myra.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
And if you had to do much work on it,
I mean you do the regular stuff obviously on five
hundred thousand K, but nothing out of the ordinary, not
yet touch.

Speaker 16 (46:24):
Wood, now that I've spoken to you folk, Yeah, who knows?

Speaker 3 (46:29):
You just think that Pete. That's awesome mate, Thank you
very much. And why just actually quickly before you go,
if you always liked the Ford Ranger or did you
have another YU before the Ford?

Speaker 16 (46:39):
No? I had a Listen Navara before this and that
was good too. Will say, yeah this, I'll probably be
a Ranger man from there on.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Okay, thank you so much for your call. I appreciate that.
So that's now our top top score, five hundred and
four thousand k's on the clock. That's for a Ford Ranger.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
See for me.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
The Ford Ranger grill got better a few years after that,
about twenty fifteen, I believe, is when that that grill
became flatter across the front.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Arranger grilled twenty fifteen. Oh yeah, I see what you mean.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Yeah, yeah, curse around the sight anyway, it's a small point, Peter.
You used to own a B sixteen hundred. Yeah, I did, Matt,
how are you guys fantastic?

Speaker 20 (47:24):
Yeah, I owned one back in the mid to late
nineties and I'll never own one another again. Look, I
actually worked back and I worked for Ford Motor Company
here in Warrington and the assembly plant for a number
of years.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
So I got down.

Speaker 20 (47:42):
Yeah, and so we built the equivalent to that, which
was the courier I in those days, and Ford and
Master were.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
Part of the companies.

Speaker 20 (47:52):
Yeah, a lot of the bits and pieces would say,
but yeah, I'd never have one again. I have currently
have a mitter. Bitchy Trighton twenty seventeen. Brain new it
was then I totally got a tony baby compared to that,
We've got the last call it. So they had one
hundred and sixty eight thousand CA's on it. I never
had a problem, yeah, never had a problem. And all

(48:15):
the bells and whistles and I enjoy all the bells
and whistles. But great vehicle to drive.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
They were a good yeah, good looking you, no, no
doubt about it. The old Ford Curier that was it's
kind of become a boy racer ut, isn't it. They
were quite load of the ground and kind of a
little bit bubble shaped.

Speaker 20 (48:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (48:30):
Yeah. The later models were the first part.

Speaker 20 (48:33):
The earlier ones that we used to build and lower
Hut were We're not quite bad. But as they got
that it went on a little bit further.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
They got.

Speaker 20 (48:42):
Those older ones are very popular with the boy racers now,
yet they lower them. I don't know why they lower them,
because if you want to put something in the.

Speaker 5 (48:47):
Back of it, you can't.

Speaker 20 (48:49):
When did we stay at farf on the ground already?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
When did we stop assembling Fords in New Zealand? When
did that close down? Peter?

Speaker 20 (48:58):
Well, the plant and lower Hut closed down in nineteen
eighty six, and then the plant in Auckland continued on
for about five or sixty years after that, and then
that had closed down as well.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Do you know what the last what the last assembly
plant in New Zealand.

Speaker 20 (49:15):
Was because was the last assembly plant I think was
General Motives. Yeah, not perhaps they were the last one
to close down. Yeah, I mean all the others were
quite a lot smaller. Oh sorry, I think yeah, it
was either.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
General Motive or yeah, but both of them might have
been the last one.

Speaker 6 (49:33):
Yea.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
So Peter, when you you know, you say you'd never
have a B sixteen hundred again, did yours have the
bench seat and column shift?

Speaker 20 (49:41):
Yeap, bench seat, column shift seat, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Beach seat is a great I mean you you would
never be a car that came out with a bench
seat again. But I've got a lot of time for
a bench seat.

Speaker 20 (49:52):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean, you know the old
Felphins because and even the Mark Causipa, which was a
bit of a heap, but they had they all had
bench seats and they were cooled. Yeah, they were calling
their day with the bench seats.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (50:05):
But yeah, it's but no, I don't think i'd go
back to be sixteen hundred from my mids seat. That'll
be a big stretch.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Yeah, but that's this job.

Speaker 20 (50:15):
You did, this job, I mean it was somebody had
repowered it with a two liter engine and left the
sixteen hundred yearbox and siffer in it. So along the
motorway one hundred kimeters an hour. It was screaming and
snuts off a bit, it was, but there was nothing
that could beete it over Rumattucker Hills.

Speaker 3 (50:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (50:32):
I even had guys and x X six falcons try
to give it a go.

Speaker 21 (50:37):
And it was just a go.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
It's a wee rocket. How many if you called Peter,
just quickly, Peter, how many k's did you get on
the B sixteen hundred.

Speaker 20 (50:46):
Ah that thing. By the time I got it and
Salt got rid of it, it was clocking over three
hundred k three hundred thousand k.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Not bad, not bad.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Petrol, petrol, Peter, Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (50:58):
I went one hundred and eighteen eighty is the number
to call.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I had a lot of great times on a bench
seat in my Ford courteena. What did a prospect park
party up there as a teenager? Tell us more whatevers,
give us a details. I'm not the kind of kiss
and telum your imagination. Let's just say the bench seat
was andy for certain activities, a.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Lot of room to slide over. Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. We'd love to
hear about why you think we've fallen out of love
with Yutes. But also we've asked the question. All we
want to hear from the person who's got the most
k's on the Yutes so far? The record air is
five hundred and four thousand k's. If you can do

(51:37):
better than that, can you hear from you?

Speaker 6 (51:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:38):
And if you've got one of these the highest selling
car in the in the country, there's two hundred and
forty four two thousand, four hundred and forty rare Fours
sold in the quarter. These these hybrid rad Fours very popular.
You've got one of them? You're happy with it?

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Why are they so great? Why are people buying so
many of them?

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Get on the phone. It is twenty one past two.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Matt Heathen, Tyler Adams afternoons call Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty on News Talk said be after.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
No We're talking about Utes and the Toyota rev for
it's knocked the Utes off the top of the table
the first time in almost a decade that it's been
the top seller in New Zealand. That is not a ute,
So love to hear from you. If you've got a
ute that's done considerable k's, we're keen to hear how many.
The record at the moment is five hundred and four thousand.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yeah, the record for us of people that have community
communicated with us. That's not on beginner, that's just been bitten,
that's just been bettened. Is that a word beaten?

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:36):
I think I think you say beaten, You're not bettened?
Nineteen nine two? Is it bittened or beaten? My two
thousand and five Highlax has done nearly eight hundred thousand
Kay's new drive train and radiator in the last five
hundred and fifty one thousand k's and three all changes.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
That is aggressive. You got one hundred k on the
one engine.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yep, here we go, guys. My son has an electrician
had a Toyota high Ace. It got to nine hundred
and fifty thousand kilometers that's right, nine hundred and fifty
thousand kilometres and the size and size the gearbox and
reverse boss called it today had his money worth?

Speaker 4 (53:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:12):
You wouldn't hold on to a mill thousands, you'd hold
on to a Melbourne. He seized it he sees the
gearbox just before he got there.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
It did.

Speaker 3 (53:20):
It's spelt sized, Ah, but I think he meant seized.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Right when I read sized, it was like, I don't
know what that is. Did he measure it? Sized up
the gearbox? Okay, seize the gearbox would explain why he
didn't take it to a mill Kray Rare Four's big fan,
happyaby Easter.

Speaker 15 (53:40):
Yes, so I'm currently in a Rare four just coming
into Poky, my company car. I've had many different brands
makes models over the last thirty years, and this would
be the best company car by far I have ever driven.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
So is this the hybrid?

Speaker 16 (53:58):
Yes?

Speaker 15 (53:59):
So I do over a thousand, well over one thousand
caves a week and hard on it. But yeah, you
just your foot down. It's basically talks back and says
how fast you want me to go? Because of it,
because of the hybrid, It's just beautiful handling car. And
I think the reason now number one is there are

(54:21):
so many companies getting them as company cars because they
are obviously a lot more economical than your stock standard.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
Yeah, and a lot of rental car companies are getting
them as well. When I've been renting cars lately, they've
all got that the red four option yep.

Speaker 15 (54:38):
And I also have a seven pimped up high Lux
for a hunting wagon and boat towing and that's done
two hundred and forty, which I'm ashamed of considering that
other guys that hate hundred. But I just do the
oil filter and oil change every ten thousand k's and

(54:59):
that's basically just just run in. But also don't forget over.
In Australia at the moment, there's a lot of lawsuits
going on Tiger at the Rangers because of the problems
that they're having straight off the lot.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (55:12):
What kind of problems?

Speaker 15 (55:14):
Yeah, I've got major problems and they've got a number
of lawsuits Pendic.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
What kind of problems are they having, Craig, they're.

Speaker 15 (55:23):
Basically driving on driving them off a lot and they're
season or something, but they are basically riding them off.

Speaker 16 (55:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
I got to say that the Rav four has really,
I guess what's the word redeemed itself, because it's hard
to equate that, you know, the rad fours you have
now with those humiliating two door rav fours from the
nineties that kind of looked like a spice girl's boot.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
I'm just trying to pick that up. Red four. I
think I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
Rev.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Yeah, I mean then they're not. I mean they're nothing there.
It's interesting that they're even in the same that's right.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Yes, it did look like Yes, spice Kills vehicle would
would sum it up. It's like a little bubble you
drive around it. Yeah, yeah, like the Popemobile almost.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
So for Rareford to lift its game and have such
beautiful lines as this, you know, number one best selling
car in the country, it really turned it around from
that absolute humiliator in the nineties, the two door. Yeah, well,
do people know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 3 (56:21):
We doubted yet, but made it happen. O eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty is the number to call, guys.
My Dodge Ram, I'm a trade, plenty of room inside
and in tray. Two hundred thousand on the clock and
still goes mint from Bruce.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
My High Lucks Surf had eight hundred and seventy six
thousand km's on the clock when I sold it. My
current surf has just broken three hundred and twenty thousand k's.
Look at that dedicated to the serf.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
I'm going to stroll out an opinion here. I don't
think because we're getting eight hundred thousand on the islight
high lucks, I don't think there's going to be any
non toyota that can get past seven hundred thousand on
the clock.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
A non toyota, non toyota.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
If you've got a non toyota ut that has cracked
seven hundred thousand on the clock, love to hear from you.
It's not gonna happen, sang on.

Speaker 11 (57:08):
Maybe US talks there'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis.
It's no trouble with a blue bubble. Today's rise and
inflation to two point five percent isn't expected to stand
in the way of further o CR cuts as economic
recovery slows. It's higher than the Reserve Bank was forecasting,

(57:30):
but still comfortably inside it's one to three percent target range.
Motorists are being asked to drive as if their life
depends upon it, as stormy weather works its way down
the country with extreme winds and widespread rain. Fallen trees
and flooding have closed some roads and cut power to
thousands in the Upper North Island. Warnings and watches apply

(57:52):
for Corimandel Bay, have plenty Gisbon, Northland, Waikotto, Auckland and
stretching into Tasman until late Saturday. Cautious optimism over job
seekerstat showing more than twenty three thousand people on a
benefit got a job in the three months to March.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Much on the up.

Speaker 11 (58:10):
Howard Pub in a remote town at the bottom of
the country became New Zealand's best See the story at
nzed Harold Premium. Now back to matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Thank you very much, Rayleen, And we're talking about utes
within New Zealand for the first time and almost a decade.
A ute wasn't at the top of the table for
the most sold vehicles in twenty twenty five. They're on
a went to the Toyota Ram four.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
I have.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
We have a sang Yong wor ute with five hundred
and sixty two thousand kilometers on the clock and still
going strong. Not a problem.

Speaker 3 (58:42):
You said they were good cars seeing young.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Yeah, I got a lot of time for saying Yong.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
How many models do the old San Yong MAKEE? Is
it just it's just the one us I think, isn't.

Speaker 2 (58:50):
It I don't know how many models standard saying young
is the one that you was kind of question is that?
I like, I'll just go I'm not it's not mastermind.
How many how many models do they have? Jess, You've
got a DMAT.

Speaker 20 (59:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (59:06):
I've been trying to do my paperwork listening to Eive
and got super distracted. I just wanted to put my
two cents in. So I'm a rap up in a
rep for quite some time. And one of my cars
that I had was read for and I went through
a few transmissions and that so it kind of painted
me on the whole towada. I think it couldn't carry
a load at all in this new job that I've got.

(59:28):
I've got a D Max. I've had it for about
five and a half months. It's on over thirty three
thousand commons already, and I would not look back.

Speaker 22 (59:36):
I used to be a.

Speaker 13 (59:37):
Toyota Ford girl, but I went in automotive a couple
of years ago, and for many twenty seventeen and twenty
nineteen rangers with your engines out in work shops and thought,
although I'm not going to invest in one of those,
and ended up with a Dmax and a falcon usic kind.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
So is the D Max? Is that quite of the
sweet point that highluks? I think we all know. Toyota
is a very good brand, and most of the highlaxes
go forever, but you pay quite a bit for them.
But the D Max, they're reliable and the price point
is pretty good, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (01:00:08):
And I have been through some some wicked weather. I
go all the way, I two thousands of kilometers, as
you can tell, and it just does not must a bet.
It's got a massive load most of the time because
it's my office as well, and I filed it back
and it will just go for four and a half
five hour drives and not even not even know it's
doing the work. So I never was an I Suzo fan,

(01:00:29):
but I'm quickly becoming a DMACS fan. I couldn't rave
about it any more than I am at the moment.
It's awesome. And that's for a fourth person.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Good on your jess, because Zuzu fan there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
Yeah, guys, not seven hundred thousand k but my two
thousand and one holding vou es has five hundred thousand
on the clock and still going strong. So was the
top we got up to eight hundred and eight hundred
and ninety five thousand. I believe it was.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Okay, that's our top top score.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
It was claim.

Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
But but you want to what did you want? You
wanted to ane Toyota?

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
Yeah, a non Toyota that can crack seven hundred. If
you've got a Toyota though, that can crack a million.
I want to hear from you. Oh eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty, not.

Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Seven hundred thousand. But my two thousand and one Honda
has a holding, sorry, has five hundred thousand on the
clock and still going strong.

Speaker 10 (01:01:18):
Yeah, you go.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
Is someone that hang on a minute, if you had
this person that's got a oh what a two thousand
and one highlucks with two hundred thousand on the clock,
you've hardly used it, mate.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
Yeah, get back to us when you've got another couple
hundred thousand out of.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
The machine with your two hundred thousand k highlights.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Yeah, start driving now and come back to us in two.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
Years, ten years, when you get up with decent, decent
rotations on the clock, mate.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
To get out two hundred thousand. Come on, mate, Douglas,
you've got a you're going to dodge?

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Is that right.

Speaker 14 (01:01:52):
My dad had a doedge on it that had over
a million and a quarter miles on it and that's
that mile.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Okay, impressive, Well there you've done it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:00):
What year was the dodge?

Speaker 18 (01:02:03):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (01:02:03):
I think it was early two thousand. Who used to
mow your hoe back and forth off the US from
one side to the other. And he put a million
in a quarter case on the frame cracked and then
the transmission went out.

Speaker 9 (01:02:14):
So he decried to sell it.

Speaker 14 (01:02:16):
Only because he was eighty So what he just he
just told it last year.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
So what do you say to people that say that
American cars are poorly put together?

Speaker 9 (01:02:29):
Oh, that's a lot of rubbish.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
Yeah, well clearly if you if you're craking a million
on a dodge, I mean in America would that be
that would be fairly unique. But I'm not as rare
as it would be in New Zealand?

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
Right of was that a million miles? Was that a
million miles? Was a million caves?

Speaker 9 (01:02:45):
A million? A million and a quarter miles?

Speaker 4 (01:02:47):
Not days?

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Whoa, Well, no one's gonna beat that. That is some vehicle.
I mean, that's almost it's almost mystical.

Speaker 9 (01:02:56):
Oh.

Speaker 13 (01:02:57):
He lived in Florida.

Speaker 14 (01:02:58):
He would go to Indiana, pick up a motor hume,
go out to California, go out to Washington State, then
all the way back down to Florida.

Speaker 23 (01:03:07):
And he was just doing that more times a week.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
Love that. So that would be approximately. So if it's
a million and a quarter oka, that would be closing
and on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
That be one point nine they'll be closing on so
that I'll just do the quick math on it. That
would be boring listening to us do math, but carry
the two that would that be over two million?

Speaker 3 (01:03:32):
It would be pretty close to two million, won't it
pretty close to it?

Speaker 20 (01:03:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
I think it was just over We'll do the math
and the break. It's pouring to us to be a myth.
But I'm gonna say around just over two million K.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Yeah, you'd want to get that engine.

Speaker 9 (01:03:43):
Out of the New Zealand.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
Yeah, Boston, New Zealand.

Speaker 14 (01:03:46):
Now he's got a high locks worth six hundred and
seventy thousand k's on it, and it's a work. She
gets road hard, put up wet, and she's Yeah, she
carried following around about a ton and a quarter in
the back of that girl.

Speaker 4 (01:03:58):
All the time.

Speaker 14 (01:03:59):
And we come over from one end of the coast
to the other was our work. So yeah, she sees
lots of Ken.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
Fantastic Douglas. You'd been great to chet to love that
accent as well. One hundred eighty ten eighty is the
number to call.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
Guys A rare food hybrid just cut me off on
the motorway to Drury, no doubt distracted listening into you
awesome lads.

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
Sorry, Nathan, Yeah, we don't see too too cut up
about it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:22):
Well, yeah, you know the rare four hybrid is popular,
but you can't you know, they can't be responsible for
their drivers.

Speaker 3 (01:04:29):
No, no, exactly. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is
the number to call. It is twenty two to three.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
A fresh take on took Back. It's mad Heathen Taylor
Adams afternoons. Have your say on eight hundred eighty ten
eighty News Talks b afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
It is twenty nineteen to three.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
I'm receiving some false accusations here. Your math is terrible, Matt.
Just off the top of my head, I made a
guess on how many kilometers two hundred to one million,
one hund quarter million k's with I said just over
two million. Probably yep ends up here. According to nine
to two nine two. That's two million, eleven, six hundred

(01:05:10):
and eighty. Yeah, so that's that's not terrible. That's pretty close.
Just just just a rough vibe over to over two million,
it's pretty much bulls eyes. I want to I want
an apology from this text to saying my math is terrible.
I want you text back on nine two ninety two
and say, Matt, your math is average.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Yeah, how you mate?

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
Good?

Speaker 17 (01:05:31):
Thanks guys, how are you?

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Gods?

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
Now you work as a mechanic.

Speaker 4 (01:05:34):
Is that right? Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 17 (01:05:36):
Look, I'll just let you in on a bit of
an inside secret. What we do here all day at
TWYD is we actually stand around doing nothing because the
cars are so reliable.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
I mean jokes aside. I have actually heard that that
you could pretty much put a brick on the accelerator
on a Toyota engine and just keep it going for
years and years and years, and it will still go
as long as you keep topping it up with fuel.

Speaker 17 (01:05:57):
There is a rumor going around on the internet about
an old guy, I think he's in New Zealand that
has like a nineteen ninety five tour to Corolla diesel
wagon that's done about two million kilometers on the same engine,
So that's a pretty awesome feat.

Speaker 18 (01:06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Well why is it for people that don't know anything
about cars? Why are Twiyotas you know, so resilient.

Speaker 17 (01:06:17):
I think it's just like the quality checking of the
stuff that they do in Japan and how much testing
they actually do with the vehicle. There was a you know, like,
obviously they care about the mass producing of the vehicle
and getting them out to the customers and the consumers
as well. But I think that they really do just
care about the product that they are providing to people.
Is because I mean, at the end of the day,
it's all just word of mouth and who's going to

(01:06:38):
be buying the vehicle. That's probably why the RAD four
has popped off so much as it has, because you
see them around, you see so many people driving them.
I mean I've told many people now that hey, Radfords
are such a great vehicle. Definitely get into one.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Well what do you think about those humiliating nineties ones
that looked like a sort of disco boot two doors.

Speaker 16 (01:06:56):
I heard you talking.

Speaker 17 (01:06:57):
About those earlier and when they were when they were
first produced, they actually out drove Lan cruises because of
the lightweight and the skinny parts of them.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Well, I out drove them in four by four conditions.

Speaker 17 (01:07:08):
Yeah, you all both when they were teaching them. They
actually out drove the heavy big tire Land cruises. Was
because the full time four drive, those little bubble rav
fours and the skinny tires of them and the lightweight.
They just powered through anything.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Because the lines of these, you know, the biggest selling
cars in the country, this red fall. Now they look
really really cool. Now, at what point did they start
sort of, you know, pivoting with the rav four to
make it look a little bit I'm looking for a
word other than manly, but you know, a little bit
more robust or something.

Speaker 17 (01:07:42):
Oh I couldn't really couldn't really tell you that, But
I mean, I've been working for Twitter for roughly seven
years now and I've noticed it quite a lot. I've
been a toilet and now my whole life, my whole
family has toyotas, so we're pretty through and through and
we've been together with them for a long time. But
I think it was maybe somewhere around about twenty fifteen
was when the Highlights first started changing the shape to
the new model and then a whole lot of other

(01:08:02):
models progressed. I mean, if you look at the if
you look at the New CHR, now, geez, that thing
looks like a space at Bay.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:08:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Why doesn't other car companies emulate what Toyota does. I'm
surely they can get in there and see that they're
you know, they're robust testing and and get in there
and do the same thing and get the same reputation.

Speaker 17 (01:08:22):
I think I think they try to. I guess it's
just that the Toyter appeals to such a you know,
they appeal to such a big market at the end
of the day as well, and that's why New Zealand
has the Toyta's been the best selling vehicle in New
Zealand for thirty six years in a row. So I
don't really think that you can get there anywhere else,

(01:08:43):
especially in a country like this that we require vehicles
like rap Wars and their lancreuses and highlightsers. But regarding
the other brands, I mean, I don't know. It's just
different climates, different people, different engineering, different responsibilities.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
Who knows, Yeah, we're a good testing grant here. So
for you, Tim, what would be your top three car
brands in terms of reliability. Obviously, Toyota's number one.

Speaker 17 (01:09:06):
Absolutely, we all know number one.

Speaker 9 (01:09:09):
Look, I don't really.

Speaker 17 (01:09:09):
Look past anything else at the end of the day. Obviously,
obviously your Euros won't really be on the list, you're
Skodas and Volkswagons or anything like that. But I'd be
looking at maybe something something japan Japanese as well. I
probably wouldn't put this in on there, but i'd maybe
choose a choose a Honda or or or yeah, something.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Something I don't know of.

Speaker 17 (01:09:33):
Money is pretty good, But I mean, at the end
of the day that the reason why I've always keept
with tworders and keep buying to is the number One's
just the resale. The resale of them is just fantastic.
And also it's just a reliability if you get one
with good condition, low kase and all that service history.
That's why they just keep coming back and people keep
looking after them. And also the amount of after sales

(01:09:54):
support that you get via like service plans and everything.
Even the warranty sides of things are really good.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
Yeah, Citron.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Nothing, I think you've got them on Citroun not even
going to give you.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
I've got to make. I've got to make the collect
citrons of all errors and spending a lot of time
in the mechanic. I think what he does is he
collects citrons that sit in various mechanics across the country.

Speaker 3 (01:10:21):
You have had an apology from that texter, so that's nice. Yeah, yeah,
apology accepted.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
Yeah, that's right. Okay, all these people are saying, Matt,
we accept that your math is average. Jokes.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
You've got that on board.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
I was an athlete, as I've said before on the
show when I was a high school folks.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
I know it sounds like that to lie, but it's true. Sadly, Jason,
how are you?

Speaker 15 (01:10:42):
How are you?

Speaker 18 (01:10:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:10:43):
Good?

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
Now you've got to that cracked the mill?

Speaker 4 (01:10:46):
I do well.

Speaker 21 (01:10:47):
I did have one, and I wasn't going to ring
until you said that only a Toyota would make it
over eight hundred thousand k's. Well, I'll tell you a
little story. And uncle mine had an old dance and
ut he gave it to me in about ninety ninety eight.
It had done a million and eighty seven kilometers.

Speaker 15 (01:11:02):
Wow, wow, I'm still totally original.

Speaker 21 (01:11:07):
It had up in the engine and around six hundred
k's he'd done himself. He was a he was a
civil roading contractor earth mover. He was a magnificent mechanic.
He'd put some new rings and bearings in it at
six hundred k's and it had another five hundred k's.
I'd send it to the barrier and three years later
it was a rusting pile of metal.

Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
It's very impressive though.

Speaker 15 (01:11:29):
Yeah, that was for him.

Speaker 21 (01:11:30):
That's an old that's in two hundred, very old eighty two.

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
I think it was.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Oh wow. I mean, there's so many beautiful, beautiful Datsunes
over the years. I reckon that those nineteen sixties Bluebirds
are some of the coolest looking cars of all time. Yeah,
there's six hundreds. Yeah, they are beautiful cars. I've always
thought that, you know, you can you can spend some
money if you're wealthy and get cars refitted with new breaks,
new engine, you all modern stuff. And some people do them,

(01:11:58):
and some people think it's sacrilege. But I've always thought
that I'd get one of those Debts and Bluebirds from
from the late sixties, you know, dicked out.

Speaker 5 (01:12:06):
Yeah, they were good cars. They actually had one of those.

Speaker 21 (01:12:09):
But I find with any car, if you look after it.
There's no reason though you can't get a million k's.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
Out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Yeah, Jason, you proved me wrong. Thank you very much. Mate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Worries when the dantson we lose the name Datson and
become listen listen.

Speaker 21 (01:12:25):
It would have been probably late nineties, early two thousands.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
I guess, yeah, I wonder why that's in Such a
cool name and great band of da'sent.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
Very popular in New Zealand. Jason, thank you very much, mate. Oh,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is eleven to three, bagvery shortly here on News TALKSB,
the issues.

Speaker 1 (01:12:46):
That affect you and a bit of fun along the way.
Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
TALKSB, News Talks THEREB. It is eight to three. This
Texas says guys. My old man's work high Lux has
seven hundred and ninety thousand k's on the clock, all
on farm. She split in half but still going strong.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
My here we go. Well, my first car was a
ninety sixty three Dats and used more oil than gas.

Speaker 3 (01:13:18):
Beautiful look at cars though, Dats in to.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
This and happened in nineteen eighty six. Is a textas
so I think I think what it was is that
Datson's weirdness in. But they used the dats In as
a different brand in different parts of the world, maybe
parts of the world that were but resistant to to
you know, Japanese imports. Yeah, well look at that, the
very person we've been talking about and as helicopters just
through in the other room there Ali Williams.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
Oh, very good.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Just saw his head pop up in studio b That's
how we're going to ask him directly.

Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
Hugo, You've got You've got a that's got quite a
significant number of k'sy I.

Speaker 22 (01:13:54):
Have, buddy, I've got a land cruiser with a one
hd T engine in it and I'm sitting in it
right now, buddy at nine hundred and eighty seven hundred.

Speaker 9 (01:14:05):
And thirty two.

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
Oh that's good. Wow, So it's you've got to go
in at the moment. Is the engine running?

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:14:13):
Yes, it's a daily runner?

Speaker 11 (01:14:15):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
Oh yep.

Speaker 22 (01:14:16):
Is that it's a work vehicle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:18):
Have you ever anything been replaced as the enginet been
replaced at all?

Speaker 22 (01:14:22):
Yes, we did the engine ten thousand k's ago, so
it operated trouble free to from zero to eight hundred
and seventy thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
That's impressive and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:32):
How much how much more do you think you've got it?
And it's gotten it here go ah, look.

Speaker 22 (01:14:36):
It'll do a million without any trouble. I've had a
transit major transmission service just shortly after that. So now
that it's tidied up, I expect to get another five
hundred thousand out of it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
I will think, you do you still do you still
give it heaps? Do you still take it out into
the back country? Very down? Again?

Speaker 22 (01:14:53):
Well, it does a lot of towing, and that is
obviously hasn't been bad for the bad for the vehicle.
But that's that's my daily work driver. And when we
looked at buying land cruisers, we thought, well, how many
high luxes do you get to a land cruiser? And
it looks like you get about three acts to one.
Land cruiser was expensive to purchase. In the first instance.

Speaker 5 (01:15:15):
It's proven to be the opposite of an actual.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Text hugo hugo. Does your land cruise have a name?

Speaker 6 (01:15:21):
No, No, it's called the cruiser.

Speaker 2 (01:15:23):
Just the cruiser.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Okay, all right, the cruiser.

Speaker 22 (01:15:26):
I do have two of them. I had to purchase
another one because My grandfather told me nearly sixteen years
ago that if you look after a good vehicle, you
probably only need two in your life.

Speaker 16 (01:15:35):
Yeah, that's probably right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Yeah, I mean that's that's that's old school thinking, is Yeah,
it kind of makes sense.

Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Yeah, you could.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Definitely make a car that lasts a lot longer than
cars do.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Yeah, exactly. And the old secondhand land cruises they go
for big money. A couple of texts to wrap this
one up. Oh, this is nice, guys. We had a
yellow dats and Bluebird in the sixties. My dad had
to put his name down on a waiting list for
one as they came in from overseas. It was an
awesome day when we got happy days from Claire.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
There you go. And yeah, as I say before, this
textra explains that, hey boys, it was always called this
and but our to the war. To sell in the
American market, they needed to call their cars something that
sounded less Japanese, so they renamed it Datson. Well that'son
sounds just as Japanese is missing. But interesting. Interesting. But
they had so many call debts and designs they really
they really nailed it for a number of years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Yeah, this Texas says, guys, just want to say something.
The only reason why the older cars and everything lasts
so much longer in mileage because there's no anti smog
restrictions on those cars. None of the new vehicles, doesn't
matter what brand they are, are going to last that
long because of all the smog issues.

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
God damn it. Bring back the polluters that last forever exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:16:46):
Thank you very much for that discussion. So I think
the winner of that arguably was the Dodge in America. Right, Yeah,
just over two million k's on the clock.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Yeah, but hang on a minute, had he changed the
engine on it?

Speaker 3 (01:16:59):
Surely, well, Douglas. We're gonna have to get Douglas.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
And we need to make these rules at the start,
but it's got to be on the original engine.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
So Hugo takes it out there at eight hundred seventy thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
He changes as Lan Cruse a ten thousand k ago.

Speaker 3 (01:17:12):
Yeah, okay, all right, good, all right, we'll give Douglas
a call back and finding it on to the mat
coming up after three o'clock. We want to have a
chat about the school holidays and what to do when
it is pouring down with rain and horrible weather. As
it will be over the long weekend. Keen to hear
your stories. It is four minutes to three. New Sport

Seven past three. So coming up very shortly, how do
you deal with family stress when stuck indoors? It is
the school holidays and the long weekend, Easter weekend. It
is just about upon us, so we want to chat
to you. How do you lower the stress levels when
most of us are likely going to be stuck indoors

(01:18:39):
over the next four days. Oh, one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call, But right now
it is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:46):
Every Friday on Matt and Tyler afternoons on ZB we

we bestow on your behalf to a newsmaker who has
had an outsized effect on our great and beautiful Nation
over the previous week. As always, there'll be three nominees
but only one winner, So without further ado, the nominees
for Matt and Tyler Afternoons New Zealander of the Week are.

Speaker 4 (01:19:08):
One.

Speaker 2 (01:19:08):
Also gets the war on Pointless Admin Award. The second
test is stupid, expensive, complex and does absolutely nothing to
make our roads safer and makes Kiwi suspicious of government competency,
logic and fairness from a young age. The same chicken
lickings that always scream about the sky falling will scream
about the sky falling, but we aren't listening anymore. Transport
Minister Chris Bishop, for your efforts to kick the second

(01:19:30):
stupid practical driving test to touch you are nominated for
New Zealander.

Speaker 4 (01:19:34):
Of the Week.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Nice for Sheep.

Speaker 2 (01:19:37):
Nomine two also gets the horrible racket, but still cue
to wart it's very specific award. This one ah this
week I slanted this famous Kiwi act, calling them a
scourge on the off Fresco dining community in our country's
most profitable tourist trap. I stand by this, but in
the face of pushback from my ZBI boss in about
one hundred texts on nine two niney two. I'm willing
to concede. It's not the dog's fault. The Queen's down

(01:20:04):
singing dog, Busker's dog. Your singing has nothing to do
with tune. It's just a bunch of horrific howling. But
you are cute, so you are nominated for New Zealander
of the Week. Good boy, good boy, All right, okay,
there can be only one winner, and this week the
when it also gets the attack of the drones and
they give them a taste of Kiwi Awards. The New

(01:20:26):
Zealand Defense Force is going hard on drones, spinning up
to four hundred million over the next few years. On
them are the future when it comes to protecting our
impressively large EEV. And guess what, we make the coolest
ones right here in New Zealand, so the New Zealand
Government can buy our own stuff for once. You make
them for land, sea and sky. And your sem three

(01:20:47):
hundred USV is so hardcore looking makes me proud to
be a Kiwi for making high tech uncrewed vehicles down
at the Mount Sios Aeronautics. You are the Matt and
Tyler Afternoons New Zealander.

Speaker 10 (01:21:00):
Of the Week.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
Yeah, clock it up sm three hundred USV oppressive. It's
a lot cooler than their blue bottles we just bought
out of Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:21:14):
It's a sexy grown, very sexy.

Speaker 2 (01:21:17):
There's six wheel land ones, bloody cool, good belly. I
might get myself a pretty good drone the taser on it.
It's Mattie and Taylor Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:21:30):
Well deserved win this week. Absolutely fantastic New Zealander of
the Week and we will do it all again next week.

Speaker 12 (01:21:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
And if you want to listen to an interview with
the boss of Cyrus Aeronautics about their drones, then it's
on the podcast from yesterday yep. And you find that
your podcasts Mett and Tyler Afternoons Full show pod iHeartRadio
where you get them.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
It's a great chat, yep. Well worth a listen. Right,
let's have a chat about school holiday's. Easter weekend is
almost upon us, many of us. We're I had booked
to go away, but the weather looking outside right now,
it's absolutely pouring down in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:22:08):
It's dark and gloomy across most of the country, which
I like. I like that for an Easter holiday, but
it will mean that you're locked inside with a bunch
of people. So how do you face the stress of
holidays and doors with your family with the bad weather?
How do you face the stress of your drive with
the family, and how do you deal with in laws
you know are going to be annoying generally on holiday?
You know there's people when you're going away on holiday,

(01:22:29):
there's it's the stress starts because you know the kind
of crap you're going to get from certain people before
you arrive, and you fixate on that and then it
always blows up in the way it is so being
stuck inside with them, you know what techniques do you
use to deal with them? Because there's nothing worse in
this world than finally getting on holiday and it being
more stressful then your working week. And this has happened

(01:22:49):
to me before, where I'm looking forward to get back
to getting back to work just because the stress of
certain family situations I've been in.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
Yeah, because you need this weekend. Long weekend is a
bit of a de stresser for most of us. So
love to hear your strategies O. Eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. How do you lower the stress levels if
you are going to be stuck indoors for more of
the long weekend as most of us are going to bed.
Love to hear your thoughts on this one. It is
twelve past three, Bag very surely here on News Talks
edb it is fourteen past three. How do you keep

(01:23:20):
the family stressed down if you're stuck indoors on a
long weekend or the school holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Yeah, I've been running to a lot of people this
morning and friends that are going away for the holidays.
They had these visions of a beach holiday, getting out
and about, but now they're probably going to be locked
in the batch, locked in the house wherever they are.
That can be a stressful situation. You can start turning
on each other and as a result, you don't have
a holiday, you have a worse time than you have
at work. And there's a stress technique that I thoroughly recommend.

(01:23:48):
And people are going to go, oh, this is so obvious,
but it's a breathing technique. And you know Huberman, Andrew Huberman,
you might know him. He did a lot of study
on this. But it's a very simple thing. So you're
getting stressed, right, you just walk away from the scene, right,
And it's called the psychological size. So what you do
is you go at the physiological size. So it's a

(01:24:10):
double inhale and typically the first inhale is longer than
the second, but the second one is still important to do.
And then a very long extended exhale. And you do
this three times. And if you do this three times,
I guarantee it'll lower the stress. So you're in a room,
kids are running around everywhere, it's intense, it's raining outside.
You can't do anything. Yea, You just and I go

(01:24:31):
to the bathroom, find a space for yourself and you go, oh,
I like that. All right, you just do that three
times times. Guarantee whatever stress that you've got going on
will dissipate for a small amount of time. That doesn't work,
as twenty five thousand people texted. Try alcohol.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
Yeah, alcohol definitely works as well. Oh, e one hundred
eighty ten eighty. What are the strategies that work for you?

Speaker 2 (01:24:57):
Holidays with the family. My sister in LAWA is stunning.
I'm sure she's going to flirt with me. I'm really
looking at and looking forward to that. All right, Okay,
well that could cause stress for other people.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Could Yeah? I mean that works for you, dear Texter,
but for the rest of the family. Hey guys, it's easy.
Just spend the weekend drinking to make your guests appear
more interesting. Lot of texts talking about alcohol.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
Ig just get in the car. It's calm and warm,
and Wellington going to be sunny over the weekend in
twenty seven degrees Saturday and Sunday. Let's give Wellington a
bouquet for once. That's from Andrea. Yea, So Wellington's going
to be going to be the place to be get
day drunk. So look, I've got concerns for New Zealand.
So everyone's plan to deal with their family over the

(01:25:42):
soliday break inside in a lot of places. If Wellington
it's going to be twenty seven degrees, everyone's going to
be out having a swim as get drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:25:49):
That's one strategy, but surely there's some other strategies we
can do as well. Oh eight one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call Carl. How are
you mate?

Speaker 9 (01:25:59):
Not bad? Mate yourself?

Speaker 16 (01:26:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (01:26:01):
Very good?

Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
And so what do you reckon? We're all going to
be well, most of us stuck indoors over the next
four days.

Speaker 9 (01:26:07):
Well here's my take on it. It's like I've lived
in a situation where there was no internet coverage or
the rest of it. And what it actually does is
like get involved with each other and play silly little
like YATSI. There are so many board games out there,

(01:26:32):
and engage in games that we can play as a
family unit, a unit which keep the bottom down and
living in a situation where you keep the fire going. Yes,
I suddenly become engaged with each other rather than a
cell phone.

Speaker 2 (01:26:53):
What car What happens if you catch another of your
family you play Monopoly and they're standing from the bank,
which used to happen a lot with my sister image
and when we were kids and away on holiday and rain.

Speaker 9 (01:27:04):
Well, well that's well, I look it this way. It
teaches values because you're there was a group and everybody's
playing the game and engaged, and we make allowances for
little kids and we.

Speaker 23 (01:27:21):
Give them leeway.

Speaker 9 (01:27:22):
Yes, yep, right, But it's also teaching them that, well,
you know, to be engaged with people around you in
a very close quarter of situation, whereas you find that
they're all stressing out. I can't find my charge or
I've got no cell phone, coverages. It's not about that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
It's interesting because one of the first things when they
were when they were talking about the weather, you know,
the weather event that's sort of semi happening but doesn't
seem to be really happening, was that charge your devices.
But what have you doing charging devices? I thought that
was a very twenty twenty five thing for one of
the first things that emergency people were saying, make sure
your devices are charged.

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
Juice up.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
But it is I mean what carls, It's true. If
you can actually wrestle your family to play a board game,
then obviously it's more wholesome than they're more just going
off into their little corners and playing on their devices
until they slowly get stir crazy and look up and
try and kill someone.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
Yatsy is a good one. I think Monopoly can go sideways. Yatsy,
I think is a little bit more diplomatic.

Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Guys, Carl's wrong. Get drunks is this text.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
A lot of people are just saying, get drunk, and
we get it, like they can help.

Speaker 13 (01:28:39):
We're not.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
We're not downplaying the effect of getting drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
So Carl's sensible advice of getting your family together to
do something wholesome. Get off the devices, find a board game,
you play together, interact with the young and old in
a wholesome fashion. Where it's raining outside. The great New
Zealand tradition of a board game when you can't get
onto the beach. This person says he's wrong, get drunk.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
Eighty is the number to call. Texas says, guys love
jigsaw puzzles and Lego. Everyone loves Lego in our household.
It is a great thing to do for young and old.
Always keeps everybody entertained.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
I think people I look personally. I find the concept
of a puzzle punishing the jigsaw puzzle. Yeah, I mean
the picture already exists. It's just someone's ruined it as
you're putting together. A picture already exists. You can already
say it on the I do not get people doing puzzles.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
Do you think the strategy is always the same, that
you find the corner bits and then you do the outside.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
I don't care what the strategy is. It's pointless. The
picture already exists, just by the picture put together. Why
are you buying the picture broken? You're buying a bad
version of the picture and trying to put it back together.
Just get the picture.

Speaker 5 (01:29:52):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
I didn't think I'd be here defending puzzle games, but
it's the challenges in it that you've got. So the
picture is broken up into a thousand pieces, and then
you have to it's like putting together. I don't know
a jar that's falling over together. There's a satisfaction and
something that's been broken, and you are piecing it together again,
all right, if you are into puzzles one hundred eighty
ten eighty. Matt can't see that, he sends it it.

(01:30:15):
But if that is something you're into.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Carl is avoiding a sensible consequence sending thieving sister to jail,
discount sentence for upbringing, upbringing one role owner, repeat offender
is on dishes all weekend. Yes, Monopoly, that's the way
to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Key to hear from you, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty.
What are your strategies for keeping the family sane if
you are stuck indoors over the weekend? It there's twenty
two past three bag fory shortly here on News Talk's EDB.

Speaker 1 (01:30:45):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call Oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty on News Talk SEDB.

Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
It's twenty four past three and we're talking about how
to stay sane if you're trapped in the house with
family and rallies over the long weekend in school holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
So nine percent of New Zealand, judging by eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty, is get drunk is the only
way to do it. I'm not so sure. I'm not
sure so sure. Drinking over the entire east to break
is really arrest.

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
And it's pretty hard for the children.

Speaker 5 (01:31:12):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
I don't know if they can employ that strategy to
the same effect as at all.

Speaker 2 (01:31:16):
I mean, yeah, I mean it doesn't solve the problem
for you under one hundred ten of it no drinking
all weekend. But I'm getting a lot of support for
my call that doing a puzzle as punishing. Yeah, this
person says that they did a twenty six thousand piece puzzle.

Speaker 3 (01:31:33):
Well I don't understand that. I mean, that is a
crazy amount of pieces to put together.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Just bring up the people that made the puzzle and
I'll ask for the original picture. Save yourself the time
in this one. It's like Lego, Matt, It's not like Lego.

Speaker 3 (01:31:46):
What do you mean, it's not like Lego.

Speaker 2 (01:31:48):
Legos is an honorable an honorable pastime, like, for example, well,
I will not have anything to do with a puzzle.
If I see anyone at Batch doing a puzzle, I
will flip I'll clear the clear the.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
Table, taser them, and it's straight outside.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
I'll flip the table.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
Okay, yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (01:32:04):
I will be over the break making a McLaren Formula
one race car. What yep, that's got what one four
and thirty four pieces. I've bought it specially for I've
bought the it's a twenty twenty two McLaren. And I'll
be making that while watching a lot of Formula one
over the over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
A Lego.

Speaker 3 (01:32:25):
Yeah you bought you bought a Lego Formula one.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
Yeah, but you're for the holidays.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
You're a full growing human man, Lego.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
No, this is adult Lego. This is this is for
ages eighteen plus. This there is absolutely I'll get a
lot of support of this. On eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty. There is nothing wrong with a man. This
is a very complex piece of kit here. You have
to be very clever and patient to put together one

(01:32:56):
of these, one of these Formula one Lego sets there. Look, look,
I've just brought it up here because I just bought it.
And look it's a look at that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
I've got nothing against leg But if that's.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
An adult man making it lass, no, he's just he's.

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
Just part of the poster. His child put that together.
Surely it's Lego. I've got nothing against Lego. But if
you were over the age of eighteen, really okay, oh,
eight hundred and eighty ten eighty Lego for adults? Is
it a massive thing? I know that there is there's
a boss here at ZB that was talking about Lego
for adults, but I thought he was just a one off.

(01:33:33):
This is this actually, So this is the first piece
that you've brought her. You've got a couple of pieces
of it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
I've got lots of Lego. I've no one in the
history of the world has ever said that making one
of these incredibly complex. You know, there's different types of Leaga.
There's kid's Lego and then there's Lego for adults, and
Lego for adults is as an honorable cool pastime, and
you end up with something wicked that you can put
on on a shelf.

Speaker 3 (01:33:59):
All right, The phone line's lit up. So we're going
to get into this lego for adults?

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Is it a thing?

Speaker 3 (01:34:04):
Is met a weirdo? Or if I dis missed the
memo on this, Yeah, one hundred and eighty ten eighty list,
let's get Liam on because we're gonna we're gonna carry
this on after the headlines. Get a Liam.

Speaker 24 (01:34:15):
Hey, guys, look, I jumped straight at the chance as
soon as I heard about it. Man, not a single
Chroman should feel ashamed for playing with Legos.

Speaker 22 (01:34:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 24 (01:34:22):
The number one thing that kept all of us as kids,
keeping our minds right, keeping all of our minds in
our brains, just connected to that creativity and the creative
side of ourselves.

Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
And I think any man.

Speaker 24 (01:34:33):
Should pick up a Lego set once in their life
in the older years.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Absolutely, And would you agree that it's more honorable than
doing putting together a puzzle because her keys, you just
end up with just a picture. I'm going to end
up with a beautiful, quite large sized McLaren Racing Formula
one race car.

Speaker 24 (01:34:53):
Well, I mean, I guess, I guess you could say, right, like,
what what is more? What is more visually appealing a
puzzle piece picture or an awesome formula one McLaren's Lego
said that you've.

Speaker 3 (01:35:04):
Got Yeah, yeah, but that's not that's not comparing apples
with apples bigos. Liam. I get what you're saying here,
but shouldn't you just get a model, like a proper
adult model of a Formula one car that you've together.

Speaker 2 (01:35:16):
This is typical if you, Tyler, you're just trying to
jump to the end in the easy options.

Speaker 24 (01:35:22):
You're trying to put Lego. You're trying to put Lego
under other models when Lego is the exact same. It's
all model making.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
Yeah, you're a good man, Liam, I think anyway, right,
one for you man, zero for me. Liam came a
lot and I love it.

Speaker 18 (01:35:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:35:35):
By the end of this hour, I want you to apologize.
I want you to think about what you've said, Tyler,
And by the end of this sour, I think you're
going to need to apologize to adult Lego enthusiast and
aficionados like myself.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
All Right, it is twenty nine past three. Headlines coming up.
We've got any Lego in the offices. We can find
some Lego. I want to see what all the fuss
is about.

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Too easy, You're not familiar with lego. Well yeah, as
a kid, you talk, said the headlines with.

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
Thank you very much, Rayleen man oh Man. So people
love Lego, ador.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
You have said something so disgusting I basically spat on
the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:37:35):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:37:35):
We just had Tim Rockxboro come in here and say
how much he adores Lego and.

Speaker 2 (01:37:41):
That okay, Well, what you were saying, Tyler, was that
you did you thought that you think Lego is only
for children? Because I said, I said, over the holidays,
what I'm looking forward to is putting together a four
hundred dollars McLaren Formula one race car that I've bought
specially for the holidays.

Speaker 3 (01:38:01):
But you're going to have one of your children around
with you while you put there together, So I see
that's nothing wrong with leg But as soon as you
hit eighteen, I just think that you upgrade to adult models.

Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
At that point, you aggravated to Rocksborg so much he
had roxy head to steam and and give you addressing down.

Speaker 3 (01:38:18):
He's threaten to taste me. Actually, Andrew, how are you?

Speaker 25 (01:38:22):
You're not too bad?

Speaker 3 (01:38:23):
Guys tell you, yeah, good's Lego? What do you reckon?

Speaker 25 (01:38:26):
Totally all for it. Christmas time, Christmas just gone. The
wife said to me, what do you want for Christmas?
And I said, you know, I want Lego. I want
a really cool Lego. So what I ended up getting
was the America's Cup, the Cataboran, you know, the wings
and stuff.

Speaker 15 (01:38:44):
Mate.

Speaker 25 (01:38:44):
I did that in two days. I couldn't put it
down and that was that was cool and it looks
really really cool.

Speaker 2 (01:38:50):
I was at the team mirror was the team Immorates one?

Speaker 25 (01:38:54):
Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, Emorates to New Zealand that
that one was was cool?

Speaker 2 (01:39:02):
How did you make the How did you make this?
How did the sales work with a big slices?

Speaker 25 (01:39:08):
Yeah, they're already pre pre made plastic fabric and they
clipped them with Lego. And last week I had my
fifty first fifth day and I got that McLaren, Oh
did you It's sat in the lounge for one day
and it's box and I thought, stuff and I'm going

(01:39:28):
to crack this open again. I couldn't put it down.
It was done in two days. And it's it's big, man,
it's big.

Speaker 16 (01:39:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
And it's big.

Speaker 25 (01:39:41):
Oh, it's it's huge. Yes, oh no, and still there
yeah yeah, I'm still here.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Yep, yep. You were saying it was big.

Speaker 25 (01:39:52):
Yeah, the big the actual physical size of it completed
is big. And it's it's really cool. Like like Tyler
was saying that, you know, Legos for kids, it's these
technique versions aren't for kids. These things are like the
America's Cup has got pneumatic sort of pumps that tubes
which pumps up the wings and the flats and goes
up and down. The McLaren's got suspension front, right, front, rear, everything.

Speaker 15 (01:40:17):
It's pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:40:19):
Yeah. So it's sixty five centimeters long and twenty seven
centimeters wide. I mean that's a big, big piece. It's
got the whole.

Speaker 16 (01:40:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:40:27):
The wife is like, where the hell are we going
to put that?

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Well, I've never seen that.

Speaker 25 (01:40:33):
I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:35):
I haven't seen those America's Cup ones. I'm just looking
at it now. You've got nine hundred and sixty two pieces.
That is a that is a beautiful little set there.
And yeah, look all the all the nunumatic functions. That's wicky.

Speaker 16 (01:40:47):
I never had.

Speaker 25 (01:40:47):
I never had lego growing up to the kidnap felt
really really left out with all my mates who had Lego.
So I got my son into it when he was younger,
and I think I actually got probably got more enjoyment
out of doing it than what he did.

Speaker 2 (01:40:57):
Well, I'll tell you what I had when I was
a kid. I had Toro and all my other friends
had Lego. So there was a type of cheap Lego
you could get called Toro, and it was not compatible
with any of my friends Lego. And maybe that's part
of my origin story for loving Lego so much, is
that I didn't I got the wrong I got and
it was kind of squeezy, it wasn't hard like proper Lego. Yeah,

(01:41:19):
there'll be people out there the night I'm talking about
with the Toro.

Speaker 25 (01:41:22):
Yeah, but it's not for kids.

Speaker 10 (01:41:24):
It's not just for kids.

Speaker 3 (01:41:25):
How long would it take you to put together the McLaren,
for example, is this like a week long a week
long endeavor?

Speaker 25 (01:41:34):
Now, if you go the thing is in the McLaren,
there's twelve bags, numbered bags that you go through from
number one through to twelve. One bag might take you
probably maybe half an hour to an hour, depending on
how you've got to.

Speaker 2 (01:41:51):
Clear together if you're Tyler, theyll probably take you three days.

Speaker 4 (01:41:53):
But yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:41:56):
But the thing was like I would get to like
ten o'clock at nine, and I'll be thinking, ah, I'll
just do one more bag, and then it's like eleven
o'clock and I'll put it down and go bed.

Speaker 16 (01:42:07):
And the next it was like I had to get.

Speaker 25 (01:42:10):
Home from work and get into it again.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
So does you find out does you does you find
it attractive? Andrew?

Speaker 4 (01:42:18):
Does?

Speaker 2 (01:42:18):
Does your wife find it attractive?

Speaker 4 (01:42:21):
It was amusing?

Speaker 25 (01:42:22):
She thought it was amusing. Yeah, but yeah it was great.
It was great fun, great fun.

Speaker 2 (01:42:31):
So just to finish up, Andrew, what would you say
to Philistines like Tyler that say that lego is only
for kids?

Speaker 25 (01:42:38):
Don't knock it till you try it. Man, you get
one of these, you start off with this America's Cup
one and you'll be addicted.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
All right, that's diplomatic, Thank you very much. I was
expecting a massive dressing down, then.

Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
A bit of push back. Here, you're McLaren will become
a four hundred dollars dust collector from great is that?

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
I will give you that twenty two to four back
very shortly here on New stalks, eb the.

Speaker 1 (01:43:00):
Big stories, the big issues, to the big trends and
everything in between. Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons used talk.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
Said, afternoon, it is nineteen to four, and I say
Lego is not for adults. If you're over the age
of eighteen, then just upgrades.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
To mules as per usual. Tyler, You're completely wrong. And
to retaliate that you saying that, I'm right now IM
going to buy the three hundred and ninety nine dollars
ninety nine Oracle Red Bull RACINGB twenty f one car
with sixteen hundred pieces for yourself, for yourself, and I'll
do it straight after the big middle finger, Yeah, yeah,

(01:43:38):
middle finger of you, And I'll make it straight after
I make the McLaren that I've already bought for the holidays,
because absolutely disgusted with you and this text that says
on with Tyler, men who play with Plato or Lego
need to grow up. Yeah, you can't put Plato and
Lego in the same thing. Look, I would agree if
I had spent four hundred dollars on Plato and that's

(01:44:00):
what I was planning to do with the holidays, I
would get what you were saying, and look, I've been
a big fan of Plato in the past. I ate
a lot of it when I was a Kid's very
salty stuff, but I would get that. But Lego is
a totally and utterly different thing, and so many people
are tech san Hi, Hi guys. My dad bought the
America's Cup Emirates one and then my eight year old
nephew ended up doing it in about six hours, even

(01:44:21):
though it's the eighteen. It's amazing. Yeah, I know, just
because an eight year old can do it doesn't mean
it doesn't take away from how it's effectively.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
Just hard played, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:28):
Let's be honest, Cody, your thoughts on this key issue for.

Speaker 23 (01:44:31):
Kiwi's Tyler needs to grow up?

Speaker 4 (01:44:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:44:37):
With all the other callers, I think make it three
to you. Mattins are at a tile of it, your
Lego RC cars gaming. You're never too old for any
of those. I've got a couple of young boys and
I was playing to go with my son this morning.
He started playing with Lego eight eight made for kids
eight plus when he was two, and he loves it.
Doesn't put his mouth or anything. That's great. It's good
for the imagination. That's great for the kids.

Speaker 20 (01:44:57):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:44:57):
I love the RC cars. I love gaming, no doubt
about it. But Cody, honesty call here. If you didn't
have children, would you be into Lego?

Speaker 23 (01:45:06):
Yes, I have a lot of it. I've still but
I'm in my thirties now and I still got all
my Lego from when I was a kid. I wouldn't
probably play with it, like you know, I don't play
with the day to day, but I do enjoy building
the set from scratch and then I'll sort of put
it away. I haven't done it much for years, but
now that I've got young kids, I think all they're
going to beginning for Christmas and Birthday for the next
eighteen years, this Lego or something I enjoy. I'll get

(01:45:28):
my kids into what I like so I can't.

Speaker 20 (01:45:29):
Help with them.

Speaker 2 (01:45:30):
And that's smart, kind of, that's smart. That's what That's
what I've done. And as a result, my kids are,
you know, fantastic to hang out with. Now they're getting
older and too. Everything I'm into, I've made two little
copies of myself. It's fantastic. I finally got good friends
now now three and what's that? Sorry, you're the three,
and what I say?

Speaker 23 (01:45:49):
My kids three and one, so like I just want
them to grow up it quick.

Speaker 2 (01:45:52):
So I I was the same. I was hurry up
and grow up so you can get into the stuff
I'm in. Two kids. It's fantastic. But what do you
think about the moral of the Lego movie? That fantastic
movie with Will Ferrell and that came out a few
years ago. It's such a great movie. But the moral
was Dad makes the Lego set, the complex Lego set,
but it needs to be broken down and thrown back

(01:46:14):
into the mix to be made into things, anything creative
that someone else wants to make, what the kids want
to make.

Speaker 4 (01:46:20):
What do you believe?

Speaker 2 (01:46:21):
How do you feel about that? Are you to make
a complex set and put it on put it on
the shelf as a display?

Speaker 16 (01:46:27):
No?

Speaker 23 (01:46:27):
I just with my kids in the morning, like this morning.
You know it's terrible weather. So do we just sit
down and build terrible things with the Lego? It's three,
so we're not building. We're just building. Now he wants
me to build a fire truck, and I'll just spill
a crappy fire truck and.

Speaker 2 (01:46:42):
Good on you, Cody. The answer to the question is
where do you buy your Lego from matt is it
toy shops?

Speaker 3 (01:46:47):
Bang On, bang On, He's got you there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:51):
This text that Lego is one hundred percent for adults.
It even says on the box eighteen plus exactly this
one I want to buy here, this Oracle Red Bull
Racing be twenty if one eighteen plus, so only for adults.

Speaker 3 (01:47:03):
It does not say eighteen plus. It is zero two.

Speaker 2 (01:47:06):
No, it doesn't infinity hod on eighteen plure? Where is
it eighteen plus sixteen hundred and thirty nine pieces?

Speaker 4 (01:47:13):
Mane?

Speaker 3 (01:47:13):
Where you're buying that from toy World?

Speaker 2 (01:47:16):
Get out Lego dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
I think we've got time for one more shells. You're
big fan, Hell get a Lego. We've got We've got
about sixty seconds.

Speaker 4 (01:47:26):
You go for it.

Speaker 19 (01:47:28):
Okay, I'm a seventy year old and I've got about
twenty odd Legos of at eighteen plus. The last one
that I've just completed is the Titanic round figure is
eleven thousand pieces.

Speaker 16 (01:47:41):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
Wow, I've looked at the set.

Speaker 5 (01:47:44):
Wow massive.

Speaker 19 (01:47:47):
Yeah, about forty hours.

Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
That is impressive. I'll give you that. And so did
you get into Lego later in life after a bit
of a gap or you've always been into it.

Speaker 19 (01:47:58):
No, no, no, Well, when I come to retire, right,
there were things I wanted to do, and so I've
just sort of got into it since i've retired.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
This is a that's a twelve hundred dollar Lego set
you've got going there, Chails.

Speaker 4 (01:48:11):
That's correct.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
Yeah, well, and it's very it's very cool, and I
respect you for it. That is wow. Just looking at
it now, that is that is cool. And the thing is,
you know, I was hassling puzzles because what good are they?
They're just a picture That Lego that Titanic will look
awesome on a shelf. Yeah for ever. It does, Yeah,
it does, it looks.

Speaker 19 (01:48:30):
It looks absolutely awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:48:31):
Charles.

Speaker 2 (01:48:32):
Good on your child, Thank you very much.

Speaker 21 (01:48:33):
All Right.

Speaker 3 (01:48:34):
I've had a look at Lego for adults and I
think I'm going to pick up a plum plossom. I
think I can pick up for under fifty bucks. Don't
knock it to you. Try it. I'll give it a crack.

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
My son is a robotics engineer and still loves Lego.
That's from Grant that you go your pipe and Snoper Tyler.

Speaker 3 (01:48:46):
All right, good discussion.

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
It is thirteen to four Madden Taylor So first of.

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
Its kind of events announced today, The man Nuka Fuel
Full Metal Orchestra brings together the power of rock and
metal along with a twenty nine piece classical orchestra, five
piece band and iconic guest vocalist. Douco. Events is behind
the events and founder and rector is David Higgins, who
joins us now get.

Speaker 4 (01:49:10):
A, David, Hey, get a thanks for having me on.

Speaker 2 (01:49:13):
Now, David, before we start, can I just say how
great Symphony was this year. I know you've heard this
a million times, but you guys at do do such
a great job that that's just one of the best
events you can possibly go to. So congratulations on that.
I had an absolute ripper of a night.

Speaker 4 (01:49:27):
Hey, thank you for saying that. A lot of people
have said that. It's gratifying for the whole team, hundreds
of people years of work, so it's wonderful when it lands.
It makes people happy like that.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
Yeah, I got emotional. It was so good. Now tell
us about the Monuca Fuel Metal Orchestra.

Speaker 4 (01:49:42):
Well, yeah, there's a storm brewing, a big storm brewing,
and it is the Manuka Fuel for Metal Orchestra, And
basically Symphony is a clash of civilizations. In a way,
it's electron dance music, nightclub rave culture meets conservative classical orchestra.
That's why it works, I think is that clash and

(01:50:03):
the other obvious Johndrew, what other clashes are out there? Well,
I've always been a rock and in the music fan
and for while there, I g you'll be good to
do a rock here, hard rock version. A lot of
people have asked for it, so we we think we
can do similar to what we've done with Sinphony, and
thanks to Manukah Fuel and our partners, we've created a

(01:50:23):
brand full metal Orchestra. Sort of inspired it by the
Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jackets, but kind of describes it.
We trade marked it and we're going to curate a
set list of some of the biggest hard rock anthems
of all time from acts like a c DC, Metallica,
Guns and Roses Pool, might even be a bit bit

(01:50:46):
of Nirvana and so forth, and then we're going to
have them performed by the best session technical the best
session musicians in New Zealand, like probably the best guitarist,
best drummer as a house band, and then big name
guest vocalists and performers that we haven't announced yet, and

(01:51:06):
and Philommonia Orchestra, extra standard players, twenty nine piece orchestra.
Mash it all up and it'll be a flash of civilization.

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
Yeah, well, batched.

Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
Well, as I was saying before, you've been doing sympony
for a while, how hard is it to put a
show like this together from scratch?

Speaker 4 (01:51:24):
Well, we kind of. We know what we're doing now,
and you know, it's with trial and error to begin with,
since the I was useless. I love music, but I
was useless at playing musical instruments. I'm useless at boxing too,
but I ended up both world champions. So bit of
trial and error has worked for me. And you know,
we're learning as we go and it's fun. But no,

(01:51:47):
we've got a good good recently, we less heavily. We
put on a good show, just a big production at
Spark Arena on twenty six July. There's no shortcuts, and
so the powerhouse sound and lighting, big heavy anthems we
grew up with, and some modern one with big screens
and all the bells and whistle than a full orchestra,

(01:52:09):
and so it's going to bow people away.

Speaker 3 (01:52:12):
And the conductor that you've got on board is the
same as Symphony Sarah Grace Williams. And from what I hear, David,
she is just phenomenal.

Speaker 4 (01:52:20):
She she developed a cold following that. There's these weirdos
online that comment about her ponytail you from around the world,
But she's certainly a good conductor, moves with the beat
and gets it. So it's great that she jumped on
board for full Metal Monuca Fuel full Metal Orchestra as well.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
Are you taking suggestions at all as as because because
you got Look, as far as I'm concerned, Iron Iron
made a number of.

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
The beasts easy.

Speaker 2 (01:52:48):
Yeah, I think that would do good with some orchestration
behind it.

Speaker 4 (01:52:53):
Yeah, good suggestion with odin licks all.

Speaker 3 (01:52:55):
Right, Metallica obviously let me right up there there and
there yep.

Speaker 2 (01:53:00):
Good black Sabbath as you said, ac dc uh and so,
but it's not just metal, because you know, when I
first heard about her, that was because it says but
it's rocks, as you say, it's going out to India
as well, So you.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
Know we've got some we might have. We might throw
in smells, team spory anthems like that. Maybe you know,
guns and roses has got to be in there. Yeah,
and so and over time like since I mean with
since the now done over two hundred music tracks, and
this will be similar. We're going to build a body
of work that tour around grow. It might even end

(01:53:31):
up being a festival like Symphony.

Speaker 3 (01:53:33):
Yeah, David, it's going to be incredible. Thank you very
much for having a chat with us, and we'll catch
up again soon.
