really looking forward to that. What else have we got? Tyler?

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Also, usually we do New Zealander of the Week, but today,
because it's our last day of the year, this is massive.
I'm super excited about this. Almost need a wee drum
roll for it, New Zealander of the Year.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, so who will it be? I mean, we bang
out in New Zealand of the Week every week, you know,
and the stakes of love on that because it's only
seven days involved, but this is three hundred and sixty
five and a quarter. Yeah, so you know, let's hope
we get Let's hope we get it right.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Okay, a lot of pressure on the judges for that.
So looking forward to all of that after three Hey,
you know that have you ever read George Orwell's nineteen
eighty four Tighter, Yes?

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I have?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, and yet you know that quote the party told
you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was the final most essential command.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yes, yeah, good line, that one.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
So yesterday we got this from Chris Hepkins. The road
Cone hotline has been an absolute waste of money. They
should be ashamed of themselves, right. So we've been told
that there aren't too many road tones. Yep, that seems
to be the argument, even though when we drive around
we see road cones everywhere. We see them right alongside

(03:21):
each other, we see double coning, we see so many
road cones there. So we're supposed to drive around and
go we're not seeing those road cones apparently, So sometimes
it takes someone to come in from overseas to point
out what's going on. And Australian comedian Luke Kigel, he's
very funny and he's been in New Zealand and he
was performing yesterday and this is what he had to

(03:44):
say about the road cone situation. And I love New Zealand.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
Everyone always talks about how many sheep you have, but
no one ever talks about how many cones you have.
My parents called me and they're like, how's New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I'm like, they.

Speaker 7 (04:00):
Haven't finished it yet.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
We're still working on it.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
But every time we go through it's like they're cleaning
up after some Avengers level disaster. You know, I think
sheep shaggs is unfair. You guys are cone sitting in
traffic watching our country getting my cones. It's objectively beautiful.

(04:24):
This is the nice I think it's the nicest country
in the world, and you guys aren't that fussed about it.
I'll be honest, Like if this was in Australia, like Wellington,
like the beautiful mountains and the water.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
So there you go. Yeah, the ego. The party told
you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
It was their final, most essential command. So there are
road cones everywhere.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Okay, yeah, the rest of the world knows that you're not.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Going insane when you see them. And then people tell
you that there aren't road cones everywhere.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
They're not mythical. There are real are there?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
They're bright orange and we see them.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's beautiful. Right, let's get into this.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
So this is fascinating research out from AA Insurance, so
heads revealed one and see Stephen Kiwi drivers have had
an argument over a parking spot. But the interesting part
here is nearly twenty percent one of five of us
admit to using sneaky or extreme tactics to secure a
car park, whether that's putting down a road cone, a

(05:20):
shopping trily plenty of those to go around, or asking
someone to stand in the space, and a couple of
respondents even said they were reduced to lying down to
block other people from using a car park while doing
the shopping.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
If someone's standing in your space, that's a human in
a car parking space, right, So that isn't saving the park.
Someone can still reverse and you have to get out
of the way.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Right, definitely.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, if you're not there yet, you're not yet there yet.

Speaker 8 (05:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
It's not a human park, you know, it's not a
human spot. It's a car car park.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, so I'm interested to chat about this. One hundred
and eighty ten eighty. What are the parking rules? I
feel some people have forgotten the basic ones. As I
was saying before the car they're first having the right
right to park. Are the person reversing? You know, there's
a fantastic stick sein foul episode on this the person
reversing and has the rights of someone that's just fanging

(06:10):
in front on yep. And also something that bugs me
is people that don't chill out and let someone who's
parallel parking in before they try and pass them.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
That's a biggit.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just just stop and let them park, you know, yep,
because otherwise the system breaks down. I mean, if you
can go round there's enough space, then too will go round, yep.
But if there isn't and you're honking well someone's trying
to parallel park, then you're not the good guy in
this situation.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
No, in my in my opinion, that's going to cause
an accident because you're putting pressure on sometimes, you know,
a parallel parking For some people, it is it's quite
a challenge. It's quite a scary moment. We have to
stop in this traffic, bad fang and pasture, and someone's
on the horn saying.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Do you know who to park your idiot? That's how
that's how excidents happened.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You know, I have to stop and I have to
press my automatic parallel parking button and that can take time.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Must be nice, Oh one hundred eighty ten eighty is
and able to call. Love to hear from you. Have
you had a recent parking showdown? Or are you one
of the twenty percent that may use some of those
tactics to grab a spot? Love to hear from you
nine two ninety two. It's a text.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I had a neighbor that had the most elaborate parking
saving situation. I think she had stolen a lot of
you know, roadworks paraphernalia just to always keep her park
you know. And at one point she was putting sandbags
down like there was a sort of civil emergency and
you couldn't park in that area.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
That's borderline genius. No one would question the sandbags.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, I don't know, but she was having to load
sandbags and then out of her driveway.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Not a handman for a car park.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
It was quite a lot of effort.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I enjoyed watching out the window she luggd these sandbags
just to keep your car park.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number
to call love to hear about your parking showdowns? It
is thirteen past one.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Beg very shortly, the big stories, the big issues, the
big trends and everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler
Adams afternoons used talks, they'd.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Be sixteen past one. We're talking about car park war.
According to the AA one and seven key we's have
had an argument over a parking spot, and nearly one
in five admit to using sneaky or extreme tactics to
get a car park.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Matt, if you're reversing into a park, don't wait for
everyone to pass, just do it. I agree with that.
So some people go to parallel park and then they start,
you know, signaling people by because maybe they're a bit
nervous about their parallel park. You've just got to do
it because otherwise there's a huge amount of confusion people
behind you don't know if they should go pass. They
don't know if they should wait. The general will there

(08:39):
is the person behind if they can't get passed without,
you know, safely on to the other side of the
road or whatever. And bearing in mind when you're when
you're parallel parking, you're right front quarter hangs out like
a old man's nappy, so you've got to got to
take that into account. But I totally agree with this stickster.
If you're reversing into a park, don't wait around for
everyone pass Just just bloody do.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
It on on of it, back yourself, yep, yep, And
I will say just there's a supplementary to that. If
you can't at the first time for the parallel park,
you're done. You've got to move on. You get one
shot at it. You can't muck around, get into your spot.
And if you stuff it up the first time you're done,
you've got to keep driving.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
You've stuffed it up. Sorry, it's over.

Speaker 10 (09:20):
So if you.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Humiliate yourself by you know, shoving your left back tire
into the curb, then what do you do?

Speaker 11 (09:28):
Then?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Do you stay then and then signal people passed?

Speaker 5 (09:30):
No, you got to You've got to carry on. You've
lost your you've lost that car park. You had one
shot at it and you cocked it up, so you've
got to keep going.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's my roll draconian from you, Tyler.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
One hundred and eighty to eighty.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
What are you reckon about that? I've never heard that
one before, but I guess there's a cyt logic in that,
because you know people have to wait. I mean that's
just you know, the beer minimum you can do as
a kiwi, but you don't have to wait for Yeah,
it makes sense. You can't be expected to wait for
five humiliating attempts exactly, Although it is quite entertaining to
watch someone parallel park.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, ut least you're right behind them and you've got
somewhere to be. Yeah, but if you're on the if
you're on the foot bath and you're watching someone really
look it up. Yeah, that's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Because a cafe over the world scratched to fantastic pies.
But anyway, on Graham Street there's sort of a corner,
you know, it sort of turns and people have to
parallel park there. Yep, So I like I enjoy having
a coffee and eating eating a pie and watching people
just butcher parallel parks.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
It's free entertainment.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's as entertaining as any sport you'll ever watch. And
eighties and number to call being welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (10:33):
Yeah, hey guys, look on one of these guys. I
can be a bit impatient and way the way I
say it, you're not fast, your last mate. If there's
a park and someone's sticking around, I'll run up a curb,
or I'll drive up the wrong way in the car park.
You're there part just Tom's money.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
What are you driving?

Speaker 11 (10:50):
Ben?

Speaker 12 (10:52):
Driving a Ranger?

Speaker 11 (10:53):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
See, because I used to have a Ford Ranger and
I so miss the front park where you just go
up into the court curb. You know that. I mean,
that's just a real pleasure, that, isn't it just going
in the front park.

Speaker 13 (11:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (11:06):
I think the thing that really bugs me is when
someone's trying to back out of a park and you
get a big one of traffic. Someone's waiting to pull
in and they're just holding up everyone behind them, and
you know that, you know, everyone knows that the person
back in out of the park has given way to
the you know, the people driving around, and that someone's

(11:27):
just blatantly stopped because they want that park. So you know,
I'll just run up the curve and get around them,
or I'll be cheeky and just quickly dive in before
they get in.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
You know that that's the reputation of the ranger driver.
Ranger drivers are a lauring to themselves. So but would
you if someone's about to park though, right, and they've
got a legitimate parallel park situation, and they've got the
indicator on and they're there, and the park's there, and
they're there before you, will you allow them an attempt?
Or are you snaking them in from behind?

Speaker 14 (11:57):
Ben?

Speaker 12 (11:58):
No, Look, I'm not that bad, but I probably would
run up the curve to get around them.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Do you know the ice of it on the other
side of the road.

Speaker 12 (12:05):
You mean, well, you know, you know quite often you
go through down and that there's a medium barrier, you know,
little year, So I'll drive up there to get around them,
because you know, I'm not waiting for someone, you know,
who's in confident about parking.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Why should you?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
You got off road tis now and your ranger sometimes
leave a parking lot over the barrier and then over
the burn and then out onto the road. And your ranger.

Speaker 12 (12:29):
Yeah, I've done that a couple of times, you know,
especially when it's busy and there's a big line.

Speaker 15 (12:32):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I mean, why are you paying extra for the four
wheel drive option if you don't use it around the town?

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yep, living up to the range of reputation, Ben, we
love it.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Thank you, ippreciating it all mate, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
Go to say another one who really does my head.
And when it comes to the parking is you're in
them all say Saint Looks. I've seen this a lot
in Saint Looks and someone's done their shopping, so they
get into the car and then they put it into
the reverse so you can see the reversing lights.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
And I've got someone in front of me.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
They've seen the reversing lights and they're like boom, I
get a car park.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Then they muppet in the car park. They've got the
reversing lights, and they sit there for another five minutes,
taxing the family doing whatever they're doing. As soon as
you chuck it into reverse, you've got to get out
of there.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Don't be teasing people with the reversing lights, and then
sit in your car for another ten minutes, holding everybody
else up.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
You know who you are. Shame shame on you.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
What about this situation though, Tyler and I was in
this the other day in New Market, so I was
desperate for a park. Needed is the park? And I
saw this couple and they were getting to the car,
but they had a couple of kids, right, And they
had a couple of young kids that they needed to
put the seats into the car and lock them in,
right yep. And so I don't want to play a
lot of parishion to them because I remember having young
kids and I knew how punishing it was. I remember it.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Okay, yep.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
But then it's starting to blow out, and I'm sitting
in the middle of the road with my indicator going
how long am I allowed to wait for them? From
my perspective, because I think if you've got a couple
of kids, you can take the time to do the
due diligence to seep out them in and such.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Yeah, I think we small kids are involved. You've done
extra five minutes. But at that point, but I'm sitting there.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Can I sit on the road with my indicator on
for five minutes before I take that part?

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Be praw It's dangerous, man, there's a lot of context involved.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
I think at their point, you've got you've got to
get out of your car and just give a polite
knock on the door and say, hey, I know you've
got the kids, but I've I've got out of.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
My car here and odd enough traffic. How long you
got to be.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
What we come? Apply that kind of pressure.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
I have done that before, done that before.

Speaker 16 (14:22):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
I was looking for a car park at there's a
beautiful park and it's got a lovely sort of mansion.
It's kind of in the Mount Eden area. Oh god,
I've forgotten the name. Beautiful lawns and a lovely house
and it's a.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Very tourist area, but a very small car park. And
there was a lovely family who were sitting in the
car and I swear for about five minutes and there's
people behind me trying to get out of the car park.
So I literally had to get out and knock on
the window and say, hey, I'm really sorry, but are
you leaving anytime soon? Because I'd quite like that car back.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Go up and grab the eighteen month year old off
the mum.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I'll take care of this caf here. Just get out.

Speaker 2 (14:57):

Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons. Call oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty on Youth Talk ZB afternoon.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
It's twenty six past one. We're talking about parking showdowns?
Are we as key? We's a bunch of car park
warriors one hundred and eight ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
I tell you what, being the ranger driver and my
not pushing back on him is really fired up some people.
And there you have it. Ranger drivers the most aggressive
drivers in the country. That's from Mark. Everyone knows that's
Ranger with the silent ah. Is this Texter? This person says, hey, guys,
you should not you absolutely should not be encouraging shitty

(16:36):
bad behavior in car parks. That guy with the Ranger
was a dick. But you know, if you're in a
four wheel drive vehicle with big tires yep, and you're
in a car park and there's just a little bit
of a curb and then there's a boom and then
there's a gutter and you can get out of you
can get out onto the rain with the road without

(16:59):
you know, weaving your way through a complex car park.
Is that at the end of the world.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
What's a man meant to do. You know, you paid
good money for those off road tires, whereas you.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Know when I had my Range, I paid for the
four wheel drive option because I thought we might go
skiing in it, and then never did. Yeah, ended up
renting cars whenever we went some skiing, And so what
am I paying for the four wheel drive?

Speaker 3 (17:20):
But you're going to be some curb writing, but I
don't put it through its paces eighties and love it
A call, get a Craig.

Speaker 17 (17:29):
Okay, oh look, I think I'll start with some complete honesty.
It's been five years, one hundred and twenty four days
and sixteen hours and something minutes since my last Rangers, So.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
We love, we love you, Craig. You know we support you.

Speaker 10 (17:52):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 17 (17:54):
Yes, I've been giving up Rangers for a while, and
the Ranger drive just made me feel executive, like I
was sitting in the Rangers. But yeah, I understand, dude, Yeah,
totally dude. But yeah, not the kind of parking we
should be going for. But I do understand. It's like, yeah,
sometimes you just got to do what you've got to do. Yeah, yeah,

(18:17):
as I said, yeah, I'm a recovering Ranger driver. So
you know, I don't expect for a lot of common
sense out of me when it comes to parking, though.
I have had, I think personally the coolest situation with
a car park where I pulled up at a wharf
and a house truck and I had a motorbike on
the back and I was sort of working around the

(18:38):
area and the guy said how long your parking here for?
It was a Sanford Fisheries and I said, oh, I
feel I could park overnight, and he goes, oh, I'm
heading off on the boat for a month. Take my
card a commer and it was like awesome. So I
have a park now on the wharf at Sandford Fisheries

(18:58):
for us. So yeah, sometimes it's maybe a matter of
how you approach people rather than just getting aggressive and
being a ranger.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, getting rangery about it now. But you know, so
this person's really seeing that you've got a reasonably complicated
parking set up with a house pus and a bike
on the back, and has decided to be a great
keywi and help you out. So that's that's a beautiful story, Craig.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, it pays to be nice sometimes.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I'm a young lady, and I got spat on by
a middle aged man for supposedly taking a car pack.
What if you spit out people? Gross? I had no
idea he wanted the park, he wasn't indicating for it
or anything. And when I pulled in, he came up
to my window and started yelling at me and then
eventually spat all over my face. It ended up going
to the courts and he got charged for it.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
I'm glad. I mean spitting in someone's face. That's me
army behavior.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
When you're spitting in someone's face, then you have lost
any moral high grounds you had in the parking issue.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm afraid exactly.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Keep those teaks coming through A nine two ninety two
and love to hear from you on oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. Are we a bunch of cowboys
when it comes to parking? And what have you seen
out there are recently? When it comes to the showdowns,

Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Thank you very much, Ray Lean. So we're talking about
parking showdowns. After a survey by the AA revered one
in seven of us have had an argument over a
parking spot in the last couple of months, and nearly
twenty percent a min to using sneaky tactics to secure
a car park.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Here's a text that tickled me, gave me a little
bit of a giggle. Yep, just from the pure I'm
looking searching for the word for it. Maybe people can
help me the word to describe this text. Dowle in
nineteen nineteen, who died and made you? Guys? The parking police?
You're both dicks from Carie. Who's a male who died
in us? The parking police? Well, I didn't talk to

(22:11):
Rob Ryiner before his untimely death, so it wasn't him. No,
Gil Gerard has just passed away. Do you know who
he is?

Speaker 4 (22:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
He was the star of Buck Rogers in the twenty
fifth century, which is a show that I absolutely loved
as a kid.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Buck Rogers, Yes.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
You watch. It's such a style of show. It got
retilled and became Battlestar Galactica, but it was a very
very good show. If you ever heard a piece of
geek buck.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yes, yep, that's from the show.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Right there you go.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
But so did he give you a call and say
you are now part of the parking police.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
No he didn't.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Oh he didn't.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
So to answer your question, who died and made you
guys to the parking police? No one, yeah, no one yet,
no one. I mean there might be someone out there,
but yeah, yeah. Well, you know, if you're on your
way out and you want to make us the parking police,
then give us a yell Peter, welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (23:00):
Hey boys. There's a couple of things that bug me.
Is when you're in a full supermarket or more and
you back half way out and no one stopped to
let you come all the way they shoot around them. Yeah,
bugs me. And now the one is people that have
to pull all the way right to turn into a

(23:23):
left park. They can't, especially the mature folk. They can't
judge the angle of so they.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Take up both lanes.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
They block up the whole lane just because they can't
back themselves to swing in.

Speaker 10 (23:39):
People that can't can't reverse right. That's just they don't
have a backup plan.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think that when you're talking about when people when
people pull out. It's kind of smilar the one I
was talking about people that don't give you the one
attempt on the parallel park before they get annoyed behind you.
It's the same thing. If someone's pulling out, then just wait.
I mean this, unless you've got and this your partner's pregnant,
you need to get to the hospital, then just wait. Yeah,
don't be a deck just wait them out.

Speaker 10 (24:08):
Yeah. And if you're past the car that's about to
pull out, that's not your park. You can't stop in
front of them.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
And yeah, I agree, you can't reverse. If you go past,
you got to keep going because I do that myself.
I know that's the unspoken.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Hang in a minute, if you're but you don't own it,
if you're so right in a parking situation, if you're
indicating to go, and we're talking about a sort of
horizontal park here, aren't we. Yeah, yeah, so that's a
bit that's a bit different from a parallel park. We
you own it by putting, by reversing in and being
past it. Yeah, I see what you say, because if
you just go past, you go past, and then you
block that person from getting out and causes all kinds

(24:45):
of confusion.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Yeah, yeah, h no.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
So you go past and then they start to reverse
out and you think, oh, I'll just reverse because that's
my car park. Now, no, you've lost that right, You've
gone too far. You've gone past the point of no return,
and you've got to keep going.

Speaker 10 (24:58):
The other thing. I absolutely love and I wait for
it every time that people that can't parallel park to
the right. Everyone can parallel park to the left, but
when it's their own shoulder and they have to reverse
into the right hand side. Oh yeah, but we all
park on their own and we park easy, left hand
over the seat and you had to fall in. But

(25:21):
when it's the opposite side, people on one way street,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, just stuff.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
You never had to do that, but yeah, I mean
just thinking about it makes me a bit bamboozled.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, this Texasys. Aaron Gray was hot on buck Roger's.
A'm Maddie one hundred percent Aaron Gray, very very beautiful woman.
And I went to Armageddon a few years ago to
get her signature, and she was in her sixties at
the time, and oh yeah, beautiful woman.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
God did well with her.

Speaker 5 (25:51):
Oh one hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to
call Keen to hear about your parking arguments you've had
recently and the dues and don'ts nine to ninety two
is that text number?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Hi, guys, parking arranger ain't easy. They're not got the
greatest locks. The Zuki Swift is great and you nearly
park sideways Colin Yeah, I mean, I've got no sympathy
for people that struggle to get a Suzuki Swift.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
To It is twenty one to two.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Back of the both Matt Heath Taylor Adams with you
as your afternoon rolls on madd Heathen Taylor Adams Afternoons
News talksa'd be.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
It is nineteen to two and we're talking about parking showdowns.
One in seven of us have had an argument in
the car park in the recent couple of months.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
I'd love to hear of that shoe.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
This is some interesting information here from Gary Fellers. It
has to be a member of the parking the police
that dies in order for you to become a member
of the parking police. I don't think those people you
mentioned were actually parking police. That's not how it works. Sorry,
Ryer Christmas. Gary.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Okay, it's like the freemason.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
So even if rob Ryer had rung me before his terrible,
untimely death and died and then and made me a
member of the parking police, it wouldn't have counted because
he was a movie director and an actor.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Notice, yeah, that is good, thank you, thank you for that. Oh,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty the number to call.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Peter. You've got a parking parking story?

Speaker 14 (27:07):
Well, I sort of briguing story but before we Funnily enough,
I actually did have somebody steal a parking spot from
me while I was trying to get into a parking
spot in the hospital maternity walk car part while my
wife was in.

Speaker 10 (27:20):
The car with me.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Oh my goodness, where was this? Was this inn Auckland?

Speaker 14 (27:24):
I know this is down in Wellington, and yeah, I
mean I was all sitting to jump out and have two, but.

Speaker 10 (27:30):
The wife just graanba am said no, it's just very
good of it.

Speaker 14 (27:35):
Yea, he knows me well. But this was also in Wellington.
I just pulled into a petrol station to fuel up
and one of the pumps was being service. There was
only one free pump, so I get him behind the
car that was there, and so then the guy walks
out of the the the counter area there. He must

(27:57):
have seen if it was a part of right mind
who walked up the car. He sits in the car
and just sits there, nothing, doesn't move nothing. So I
give a gentle in mind and say, hey, you know,
come on this, go behind you. He must have seen me.
But he just you know, wouldn't.

Speaker 10 (28:14):
Move, wouldn't move.

Speaker 14 (28:15):
So I get out of the car, walk around and
there he is. About three minutes later, and I sit
there and he's sitting there scrolling on his phone, going
through social media. I had to rap on the window
and say, mate, are you taking the purse? You know,
I just couldn't believe it, just absolutely oblivious.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Did he put his hands up and say, sorry, I'm
a phone at it?

Speaker 14 (28:34):
I'm getting I think he realized he was being a
bit of a bit of a tool.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, realized. I mean, once you get in your car
and you're meaning to leave and there's pressure on parks,
you've got to get out of there. You can't go
through your vacuous feed. No, you can't do that. Yeah,
you're right to wrap on the on the window there
and exactly I mean, and you know, I hope something
bad happened to the person that didn't let you park
with your with your pregnant wife in the car.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
That's absolutely got on your Peter. I mean that takes
the cake, doesn't it.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
It's almost like you need to we sticker on your
windscreen saying I've got I've got a pregnant part partner
ready to go so that you can get your car
park you want. Nine to nine two is the text.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
As as I'm on my way out, one back, you
two falls to be the parking police. Couldn't think of
anyone better. In fact, Mary Christmas, Buzz.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Thank you buzz.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
So the go.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
We will take this responsibility seriously.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Oh I see, he says. I mean we all are
on our way out eventually.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Okay, right he's not quite there, but yeah, yeah, all right,
thank you buzz. One hundred and eighty ten eighty C
number to call Lynnette.

Speaker 20 (29:37):
Hello.

Speaker 14 (29:39):
I was at the hospital.

Speaker 20 (29:40):
Of course, he got lots of just so I had
parallel per don't come there out in the eye and
she went through the YouTube come back. So when the
car was boost out of part I couldn't see her

(30:04):
and she had the car park. Now, the strange thing
She was the security star that was walking past, you know,
on the pavement. When she got out, the car walked across.
He told you to move the car because I had
the right of way. I was for a boot lights
and she had no reason to take my car pet

(30:26):
so she bot out that brilliance.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
Well it all worked out for you in the ends, Lynette.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
But I am with you. The christ Church Hospital car
park has light. It's like mad Max. It's it's pretty
horrendous in there. But thankfully it all worked out for you.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Did I read this text out because I want to
celebrate it. I'm a queen at Parking on the Right.
People watched me in awe.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Emily, Good on you, Emily. You haven't read that out,
but that is a great text.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Have you got video evidence. I'm not doubting yet. I
just want to see it done in action.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, it's an honor to hear from the Queen of
Parking on the Right. You know, it's at the end
of the year and just having those firsts, you know,
you've got to notch those up.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
You never know who's listening. Good on you, Oh, I
had one hundred this morning.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I never yet. I didn't know that the Queen of
Parking on the right would be listening to little Old
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons on Newstik exect majesty.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Who would have thought, Oh, eight one hundred eighty ten
eighty is the number to call A couple of texts?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Hi, guys, I was in a very busy new Mark
at Tide Street. I had my indicator on waiting to
write turn into a car park when a gentleman in
quotation marks came along with from the other way and
turned into my car park. I called out to him
and gave him the fingers, and after he walked off,
I got out of my car and using my red lipstick,
I wrote on the driver's side of the windscreen have

(31:44):
a nice day ruined by Snell lipstick, but very satisfying.
I love your show.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Oh that's so good. Well well plaid, thanks for that
text too, Yeah right.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number
to call? Have you had a recent parking showdown? Or
are you one of the people that uses a tactic
to grab a spot? Love to hear from you. Nine
to nine two is that text number?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
So what's this AA stat that we're we're triggering this
chat off. So tigg the suggering channel.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
So a couple of stats here, So one in seven
of us drivers have had an argument over a parking
spot in the last few months. And this is interesting.
Nearly twenty percent of us admit to using tactics to
secure a car park. So that's either putting a cone down.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
You know.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Some people have those foldable cones that they've got in
the boot that they just chuck in their shopping trolleys.
Sometimes they'll just whack a shopping trolley into a park,
and some stand in the space, even lying down to
block it, standing in the space. I'm sure if you're
listening out there and you've come across this behavior, what
did you do when you're trying to get a car park?
Quite often it happens at festivals and markets and big

(32:45):
events where someone just stands and says, I'm hogging this
because my family member is only five minutes away. What
do you do in that situation?

Speaker 2 (32:52):
I mean, it's a terrible thing to do to the
person that you seen stand in that space. You know,
they're just set up for a confrontation.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
They got to weather a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah, yeah, but I don't think if you're flesh and
bone and then you're not wrapped, don't have a car
wrap around you, you don't even right to that part.

Speaker 5 (33:09):
Oh, one hundred eighty ten eighty Z. I'm going to
call it is twelve to two bag for Sutly.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Matt Heath, Tylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty. It's Matt Heath and Tyler Adams
Afternoons News TALKSV.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Very good afternoon to you. So we're talking about parking showdowns.
According to the AA, one and seven of uses had
an argument in the car park as we're going about
our Christmas shopping now getting a.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Bit of pushback, and I think it's rightful pushback on
comments around getting in your car in a park and
being on your phone. Now, the example we were talking
about was someone that was just humiliating themselves by scrolling
through TikTok or Instagram. But there are some people that
are coming through that have legitimate reasons to get in
the car and then stay on their phone, right, guys,

(33:56):
I agree with everything you're saying about car parking, except
for checking your phone when you're in the car. In
a car park, you might be checking something else to
go into another store. It leaves it up to somebody
else to determine what you're doing in your own car.
It should be for as long as you want.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Kurt, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I totally agree, disagree, Greg says with you two fake
traffic police. I'm a sales rep and most of the
time when I return to my vehicle, which is my office,
I have a multiple amount of things to complete before
moving on to my next customer. Am I wrong to
do this?

Speaker 21 (34:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
The parking space is an essence my working space. See
yeah with Greg, I agree there.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
I don't know i'd push back on that.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
If you're in a mall, Greg, and you're using that
mall car park to do your business. One, I don't
know if that's a text right off, so you could
get in trouble with the ID. But two, you should
be there to do shopping. If you want to park
up down the street, go for gold. But you've got
to get out of the car park.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
It's Christmas. Other people need it. We've got shopping to do,
we've got money to spend, we've got an economy to
get coming.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Well, we've got a David Brent situation going on there
where your car is your office. I don't know about that.

Speaker 8 (35:04):
You know.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
The car, the If it's something vacuous, you're just feeding
your embarrassing phone addiction, then no sympathy, yep, just get
on with it.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
That's humili And that was the.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Situation that Peter, I believe it was, was talking about
correct when when he he went and looked in the
window and the guy was on Instagram reels. That's not
a reason to keep the part. But if someone's out
and about, you know, working and getting their thing done,
I I don't know. The problem is that you don't know.
So if you're sitting in your car, maybe you need
to be aware that that that you that people might

(35:42):
think that because they've seen you in your car, that
they want to park and maybe get ready with every
now and then to look up and seegnal people passed
and say that I'm not leaving.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
You know, well, can I throw something at you?

Speaker 5 (35:50):
So say, I go to Saint Luke's and it's after
work and I want to get some Kentucky Fried chicken.
But I can't go home to eat that Kentucky Fried
chicken because I get too much grief about it, so
I need to park up to eat it, which I've
done many times in my life. I'm not afraid to
admit that. But when I get the Kentucky fried chicken,
I go back to my car I could buy right, So,
according to these texters, sit there and enjoy my delicious

(36:12):
dinner of fried chicken and potato and gravy my bread rolls.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
But I don't.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
I back out and I go find a little side
street that I park down, sit outside somebody's house and
eat my can take your fried chicken there, right?

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Isn't that the right thing to do?

Speaker 2 (36:24):
Does mab not see the grease on your hands?

Speaker 3 (36:26):
It's pretty hard to hide sometimes, so.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
You get home and hide the box and hide all
the paraphernalia around your cave thing.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
I've got back out pants, backup shirt. Yeah, I've got
some wet wipes in the car.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
What's your feeling is on driving? Just driving along? And
I guess you get pretty slippery fingers on the wheel,
just driving along, slamming your CAFs.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Set pretty hard to eat chicken on the road while
you're driving.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I don't know. I think you're allowed to eat what
you've bought behind the wheel in your park.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
And the potato and gravy doesn't fit in the cup
holder as well. The cup holders are too big because
I don't go for the big one. I just go
for the medium one. And then if I want to
dunk the and I make the sandwich, you know, so
I put the chicken and the bread, roll some fries
in there and dunk it into the gravy, which is
really hard to do when you're fanging down the road
at fifty.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
K These are great insights. I'm looking forward to.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
This way, and later on that we haven't talked about. Actually,
so what about if.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Someone's in the car and then they're eating their their
KFC or whatever on the bonnet with the car still
in the car park, because that at least shows everyone
that pulls up, so instead of you sitting there, you're
not going to confuse anyone. So you just and I've
seen that a bit, so you just lay your food
out on the have a little picnic on the on
the bonnet.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
I actually think that's okay. That's interesting. There's a curveball.
Oh eight, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the
number to call Pete.

Speaker 16 (37:38):
You know, and all the best of Christmas in the US.
Also your producers where you do you run a good
show there? O?

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Thanks Pete and merry Christmas do you too as well?
And thanks for calling this year and listening.

Speaker 16 (37:48):
No, thank you. You're just regarding people.

Speaker 22 (37:50):
What you say.

Speaker 16 (37:51):
You know far as England. Soon you go in there,
you know you pretty much people they drive into to
a shopping complex or their parallel park. You pretty much.
You do it, I do it you pretty.

Speaker 9 (38:00):
Much a year in it.

Speaker 16 (38:01):
You don't you go to the shop. What are you
going to do once you get back and you've done
you But once you get back in there, like I say,
you think of other people. You want to pick your
nose or sharp and you're put pinging out pouts on
your fingernails or whatever. Do that somewhere else. It's not
so busy and it's frustrating. There's a busy time the year.
Just think of other people. Move out the out of

(38:25):
that shopping complex where it might be, and go and
do your fingernails or talk on your cell phone somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Good on your peak. See he droves a friendly way. Peep,
he's thinking about other people.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
He is so eightious.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
We els. There are situations where you morally might be
okay to sit behind the wheel, you aren't rarely thinking
about the people around you who desperately need that park.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Yeah, nicely said oh eight, one hundred eighty ten eighty
is the number of culture we carry this on.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
There's a lot of people won't have a chat about it.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
There seemed to be a lot of people that won't
have a chat about this, so all right, oh wait,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty nine two niney two,
And here's some Kellie Clarkson singing about Christmas for you.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathen Taylor Adams
Afternoons news talks.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
It'd be very good afternoon, shei. It is six past two.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
Great to have your company on this Friday afternoon, and
we have been having a great chats. On the back
of new research by AA Insurance has revealed one and
seven of US Kiwi drivers have had an argument over
a parking spot as we do in the Christmas shopping
and nearly one in five admit to using sneaky tactics
to secure a car.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Park and the area of dispute that's really fired up
here on eight hundred and eighteen eighty and nine two
ninety two is people that get in the car and
then jump on their phone. So we've had some people
saying that's a bad thing. They'll get out and they'll
hassle them. And I think we can all agree. If
you're just scrolling on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Yep, then you got to get out, get out, get out.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
But there's a lot of pushback on people that work,
and people have legitimate reasons to be in their car.
I think if you're in that situation, you've got to
signal someone through. But it has raised an issue and
it's coming through hot and heavy on nine two niney
two around similar problem at gym's right. I think it's
a similar thing someone that's on their phone scrolling between sets,

(40:43):
because you don't need more than sixty seconds between reps.
That is so frustrating the people that are just sitting
there like phone addicts, hunched over using a machine like
a seat at the gym, yep. That annoys me.

Speaker 5 (40:58):
Exactly if you are not working out and in between sets,
there's no entertainment going on, You've got to sit there
and look at.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
The wall, count out yet a minute, and then get
back into it. Don't be a holding the machine. Look
at it Instagram.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, there's a guy at the gym recently, and I
think he was on the lap pool downs just scrolling
on his phone for fifteen minutes.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Bad bad man, bad man. Get him out of there,
taserum put.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Him in the stocks. Ten years home detention sounds reasonable.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighties number to call,
Rachel says.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
And I quote on the text machine here she goes
about staying in your car well parked. I absolutely fervently disagree.
There are plenty of other parks. Go find another. If
I'm not done yet. I'm not done yet, end of discussion.
So many reasons to still be in my car. My
children might be asleep and I'm giving them fifteen minutes
before waking them. In this case, yes, I might be

(41:51):
doom scrolling. Yeah, that's a legitimate one off, because we're sleeping.
At the end of the day, it's none of anyone's
business what I'm doing in my car. I might come
back to my car after shopping and I might be
quickly googling my next travel route. I may be buying
something online that wasn't in the that wasn't in the store.
I may be having a quick power napp because I'm
pregnant and exhausted. It might be two thirty. I'm not

(42:12):
driving home before the school pickup, so I'm gonna do
some quick life admin from my car. End of day.
It's not at the end of the day. It's not
your car park until it's empty. It's not anyone's right
to it until it's empty, regardless of it's a free
more car park or not paid car park in a lot,
or a free car park at the beach. It actually
seems rather entitled to expect someone to vacate the park

(42:34):
because you want it and can't be bothered finding another.
There you go, you've seen You've really thought about that one, Rachel,
and raised a few issues.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
Should it.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
I'll be interested to know where you live. Where you
say there are plenty of other parks, Yeah, because maybe
you're not an Auckland person.

Speaker 5 (42:50):
Saint Luke's good luck to you at this time of year.
I mean those car parks are like Hen's teeth.

Speaker 10 (42:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (42:54):
And if you're sitting there having a nap, yeah, and
then you're gonna get a knock on the window saying
excuse me wake up.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yeah, but Tyler, you're sitting there with your greasy hands
eating your cafc. Oh No, you said you didn't you
drive somewhere else, don't you?

Speaker 5 (43:04):
Yeah, but I might because you raise the curveball about
putting it on your bonnet.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
Now the picnic blanket. That might be okay. That might
be okay because you indicate that I'm going to be
here for a while.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
But I agree with Rachel, you're a bit of an
a hole. If Rachel's in the car and she's got
her kids in the back and they've gone to sleep,
and she goes, well, this is fifteen minutes I can
get here, and I don't want to upset the apple
cart with these kids, then you're an a hole to
get out and honk the horn and knock on the window.
There aren't you.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
Yeah, if you wake up baby and it starts screaming,
you're a bad, bad person. So there's the kid question.
I can understand. We're going to have to do a
list of things that is okay to sit in your
car for and things that are not okay. Maybe I'll
start putting together that list.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Two ninety two is the text number. What sort of.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Complete idiot would take their phone into the gym.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Agreed.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
I've got a lot of thoughts on this, because you know,
I'm a huge fan of raw dogging. I raw dog
the entire marathon. I ran. I didn't listen to anything,
and I believe when you're working out that it should
just be pure. A couple of reasons for this one.
So you're aware of things, so you actually concentrating on
what you're doing at the gym or on your runes,
you're experiencing reality. Secondly, no one ever talks to which

(44:08):
are there anymore because they've got their little ear pods
in right. Yeah, so you know, even if you want
to have an interaction with someone, you go up and
get to ask them how many sets they've got left
or whatever. Yeah, no one can hear each other. Everyone's
operating in their isolated little bubble.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
It's very awkward.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
Yeah, you're right, because I go up and then they
taped their ear which basically says, go away. I'm listening
to music and I don't care about you.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
I say at the gym, go hard or go home.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
I love that, Andrew, how are you eate?

Speaker 13 (44:34):
All?

Speaker 20 (44:34):
Right?

Speaker 23 (44:35):
Hey, I've got a story. Auckland hospital. As you come
out of Auckland Hospital out the main doors, he's a
taxi stand there. And my daughter, she was sixteen at
the time, I was taking a home. She'd had pera
tonightas so she's in a wheelchair. It was a cold day,
it was wrapped she was wrapped up in blankets in
the wheelchair. I jumped out, I ran off and got

(44:58):
the car, and my wife was here with the daughter,
and I swung into one of the taxi stands, parks
and the taxi stands so I could put her in
the car. Taxi came hooning up behind me, tooting and
yelling and screaming and so on. I can tell you
if my daughter wasn't there, the taxi driver would have

(45:21):
got a faithful And I've never used the blue Bubble
taxi to this day.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Never will taxi drivers protect their taxi stands like I
don't know a magpie protects its nest.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
I certainly do you get in there at your peril.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
But but at a hospital I mentioned you, you'd have
to be going, well, look I've got this isn't just
a shopping mall or another situation. These are people in emergencies.
So you know, chill out a little, I would say, Andrew.

Speaker 10 (45:54):
Oh, without without it, without a doubt, you know.

Speaker 16 (45:56):
And I've got.

Speaker 23 (45:58):
No concern whatso about except except for getting my very
unwell daughter.

Speaker 10 (46:05):
Into the cat out of the cold.

Speaker 16 (46:07):
That's it.

Speaker 10 (46:08):
That's the end story of where my head is at.

Speaker 23 (46:11):
Yeah. But no, just as I say, he actually nearly
hit the back of my car. He came up so
aggressively and behind to stop me from parking in there,
and then got out and started yelling and screaming and
I and I say, look, I'm getting my daughter over
there into the car and then I'm off and away
he went again, and so so I might have used

(46:34):
a few words back at him, And the only thing
that stopped me from escalating things was.

Speaker 10 (46:40):
The fact that my wife and daughter was certingly watching.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, that's much.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
If your family's on the line, then you park wherever
you want and be dammed with the taxi drivers, which
is fair enough.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah, but you do risk getting anywhere near one of
those fear charging magpies special parks as risky.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Dive bobbing you in there and their little cabs.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Well, we're having like an end of year wind expressively
what this is. You know, sometimes bus lanes and bus lanes,
and sometimes they're not bus lanes to some areas, which
is sometimes bus lanes and sometimes on bus lanes.

Speaker 13 (47:16):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
It bugs me and blessed bus drivers. They've got a
difficult job, they're not paid enough and it must be
incredibly stressful. But when it's not a bus lane and
I'm smart enough to know that I'm I'm driving in
a non bus time, time bugs me. When they get
right up your ars and start.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
Honking the horn, I'm like, settled down, settle down, look
at the sign. I know the time.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, you've got your bus lane times.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
This is outside of peak hour. Yeah, this is my
lane now.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Yeah. And also if you're up behind me, you're driving
way too fast.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Nine hundred eighty T and eighty. I know what happened
on the Hopetown Bridge. Oh one hundred eighty ten eighty
is the number to call. It is a quarter past two.
Begary shortly.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Your home of afternoon talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams afternoons call,
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty News Talk said, be.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Very good afternoon to you.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
So we are talking about parking showdowns after a survey
by the AA found one in seven of us have
had an argument over a parking spot as we go
about the Christmas shopping. So one hundred eighty ten eighty
is the number to call love to hear about your
parking snaffoos.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Now, this, this person here is escalated things and I
respect it. Okay, guys, I can take this one step further.
How about people who park at the pumps and walk
into the store without putting petrol in. They are a
parking base at petrol station. If you're if you're there
just to get a loaf of bread, some gum, yep,
whatever you need to get, and you're not getting gas,

(48:41):
you can't be parking in front of the pump. Nah,
you can't be doing that.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
That's that's impounded car situation.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Surely that's a tasering.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
That is a massive tasering. Oh one hundred and eighty
ten eighty. Do you agree with that text? June? How
are you?

Speaker 24 (48:54):
I'm good? Thank you all?

Speaker 8 (48:55):
Am?

Speaker 24 (48:55):
I speaking to you?

Speaker 3 (48:56):
Are speaking to Tyler and Matt.

Speaker 24 (49:00):
Which one is the Muppet?

Speaker 3 (49:03):
I argue with it.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I think it's the whole Thing's the Muppet Show, all
of it.

Speaker 24 (49:06):
Yeah, Hey, look love the Oh sure love your sense
of humor. You two guys are great.

Speaker 25 (49:12):
Now.

Speaker 24 (49:12):
My story is, I've got a disability parking thing, and
if I go to a place and if someone's parked
in my area, I would go and find who those
people are and tell them you've got to get out
of the bloody way. I pay for it, so I
own that property. And my friend will say, no, don't
go because that guy's big. Said, I'm not afraid. I

(49:33):
mean I'm entitled to park over there. If you don't
have a parking ticket, hit the road?

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Yeah, how big would someone have to pay before? You
have to be very big?

Speaker 24 (49:46):
I might run to who. No, I'm not afraid. I'll
just tell them straight out.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Like your style, you picure, I mean if you, I mean,
if you, if you've paid for it, that's your it's
your part.

Speaker 24 (49:56):
Absolutely absolutely. And I wouldn't lie down there and some
buggers kill me. No, I wouldn't want that. I'd rather stand.
I have actually stood on a parking disability parking so
no one can come even if they try to park.
I put my card up and say, hey, go the
other way.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Got on you like your style, but no one's going
to do anything about that. I mean that quote, she's
on the right there.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
On ability part.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (50:20):
That is the one time that you can stand in
a car park and say, don't you even think about it?

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Ford Ranger?

Speaker 2 (50:25):
What would it take for you to park in a
disability park? What would be the.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
Situation or okay, a couple of scenarios yep, uh Mave's
having a baby and I need to rush into the hospital.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Yep, that will Does that count as a that must
count as.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
A Yeah, you could probably get a a one off
for that one.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I mean, you're not going to get it. You're not
going to be able to get a thing to stick
in your window because May's pregnant.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
But what else would justify? Can you think of any
have you ever?

Speaker 5 (50:53):
Have you ever had to because you thought, look, I
know this is wrong, but I really need to do
this because otherwise some things are going to happen and
it's going to go badly wrong for me.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
What about a completely empty car park. You're going into
an establishment, there's four car parks, disabled car parks right
in front of the door, and it's raining like torrential rain.
Maybe maybe your skill you fell for that. That was
a trap June.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Thank you very much for your call. Nine two nine
two is the text number.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
The six is great discussion. Boys. What about those people
who drop their loved ones off at the airport and
they get out of the car to give them a
hug goodbye?

Speaker 14 (51:31):
Yack?

Speaker 2 (51:31):
What a waste of everyone's time.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
I don't mind that.

Speaker 5 (51:34):
I mean, remember you are a very famous child of Dunedin.
But remember that they actually had a time a limit
on the hugs. I think they allocated six minutes for
hugging time. I don't know if that still exists. So
you've got six minutes to park up, give a hug.
That's a long hug.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
It by there's the drop and go section which is
different from you know, a medium or long term parking. Right,
if you're really needing a hug, park in the medium
to long term and walk into the departure and hug
them before they go into the passenger only area.

Speaker 5 (52:03):
But you have to pay for the medium to long term.
So how much is that hug worth? Are you willing
to pay twenty bucks to say I love you and
goodbye and save travels?

Speaker 2 (52:12):
And it depends how happy to hug it? So if
it's you know, you're saying, go to a partner and
the hug starts and then you know, thanks to get
a bit handsy.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
There's not too many people around. Oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. It's twenty two
pasts two bag very shortly.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty on us talk ZB.

Speaker 5 (52:37):
Very good afternoon to you, twenty four past two. So
we're having quite a broad discussion now about parking snaff foos.
It started off with the survey from the AA that
says one and seven of us have had an argument
in the car park.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
I just wanted to make another point about the phone
slash gym scenario you guys have been talking about. I'm
quite new to the gym and I often use my
phone to check correct workout form on YouTube clips and
plan out my sessions using chet GPT. So I'm just
trying to jimprove we're not all mucking around on Instagram
at the gym. I'd allow that because some people use

(53:10):
apps to track their you know, their their their weights yep,
you know, on their reps and and what they're doing
at each individual machine. That's different.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Why can't you just taken a pad and just write
it down?

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Old school? Yeah, but what about what about this person
that wants to get their perfect form on YouTube?

Speaker 3 (53:31):
That's fair for gym related activities. Yep.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
And and and you're on the machine. I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna come at you with a dumb bell.

Speaker 3 (53:42):
Try and kill you. That's good to know. Good to know, Rob,
How are you mate?

Speaker 19 (53:48):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (53:49):
Got his Goldy Love and the day Love on the bay? Yeah?
My thing is on a line. Guy, And you take
a trailer load of weights for the for the transfer
station and the jack knifing entertainment to trying to get
the spot, and then you look up and there's a
whole lot of jack knife and coming towards you, and
you want a little bit through the experience.

Speaker 27 (54:12):
That that is.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
That is classic. I mean, it's right up there with
the boat ramp in terms of if you know what,
if you want to have a good time, sit there
and watch people at the boat ramp. But you know,
imagine people people at refuge trees are probably are quite
often they're not using trailers very often.

Speaker 26 (54:27):
Rob, yees, Yeah, that's that you cut my lags because
I've got family down and towpo and up and corramandle
and watching the boat ramps. There was an absolute comedy
particular you didn't own a twenty eight dollar outboard or
anything like that. But yeah, and again checks and cell
phones and gear at the gym. Do my head at away?

(54:50):
You've spilling down and anyway, merry customers, guys, and.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Yeah you too, mate. He's not wrong.

Speaker 5 (54:57):
I mean there's a lot of apprecia when you're backing
at the dump. We've all been there and if you
if you screw it up, you might as well just
go get a ticket to Australia.

Speaker 3 (55:04):
You're done in this country.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
I tell Rob might get lucky and see me jackknifing
a boat down in total over the holidays.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
When and we're I'll be there. Uh, Julie, how are
you good?

Speaker 28 (55:14):
Good mate? I have to make it quick, but just
phoning up because I'm sick of these guys and these
big beasts that are just bullying people with them. Yeah,
we's been going on for too long.

Speaker 3 (55:25):
What kind of beasts are we talking about here? Talking
about the range drovers?

Speaker 28 (55:29):
Yeah, those sort of things.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
What are you driving?

Speaker 28 (55:33):
What are you driving, Julie, we're not a pushback enough
something that was a good site. But my point is
this has been going on for a long time, guys
in these big, big units. Years ago, I had a
lovely little Mustang. Wasn't that small, lovely good Mustang? And

(55:58):
I was reversing into this park on Broadway, New Market.
Nothing wrong with my rebursting, particularly being left talks. You
could see where you were, and and this youte thing
comes putting them with. These two guys just pulled straight
in like I couldn't go back, and you could. They
could say I was pulling into the park, and they

(56:21):
just laughed. I thought it was funny. I too did
and waved. They still thought it was funny. So I
had to pull out because I couldn't take the risk
of getting the car head. So I had to drive
off find a park somewhere else on a Friday night.
And I thought, this isn't fair, This.

Speaker 9 (56:38):
Is not fair.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
It's not Julie. Thank you for sharing, But yeah, you
can't be going around bullying people. But I go say
the idea, but seexist to say, dudes and big cars
are the problem, because you know, ladies, I used to
pick my kids up from school and the school pick
up and that was a war. That was a war
between me and a lot of ladies and Lulu Lemon

(57:07):
driving the biggest, the biggest SUVs you can possibly imagine,
the biggest suv too, personal size ratios you'll ever see.
And there was no messing around there. Yeah, there was
no quarter given apps at all?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
How often did you win?

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Never?

Speaker 5 (57:23):
I mean it's like going into better, wasn't it. You've
got to prepare yourself every time at three o'clock to
go for the school pickup.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
Well kids, primary school. They started to be parking enforcement there.
There was first there was teachers doing it to try
and stop the battles out the front, and then there
was actually official parking person there that was you know,
standing there handing up tickets for people that were you
know taking too long.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
Full noise, right headlines coming up, but taking more of
your calls. Oh, eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty
parking arguments. Have you had one recently?

Speaker 3 (57:50):
In what happened? We want to hear from you. It
is bang on hulp US two.

Speaker 19 (57:56):
US talk said, be headlines with blue bubble taxis it's
no trouble with a blue bubble es theer ownA lo longer.
The man who set fire to Wellington's Loafer's Lodge in
twenty twenty three has been sentence to life in prison
with a minimum non parole period of twenty two years.
A jury found him guilty of five counts of murder

(58:17):
and another of arson during a five week trial earlier
this year. The Government's committing twelve million dollars to stamping
up the yellow legged hornet detected on Auckland's north shore
earlier this year. Since the start of November, thirty seven
queen hornets and twenty eight nests have been destroyed. The
government's loosening alcohol laws to allow restaurants with on site

(58:39):
retail areas to sell alcohol to that customers can take home.
Right now, restaurants that prepare and sell food products for
consumption off site are effectively barred from selling customers a
bottle of wine to take home. It's a busy day
for Auckland Airport. Nearly fifteen thousand people are traveling across
the country, the busiest day for domestic departures over summer.

(59:03):
So cliche and so bad. The women at the center
of the Coldplay concerts scan speaks art for the first time.
See the full story at end, said Herold Premium back Martin,
Matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 5 (59:14):
Thank you very much, Ray Lean. So we're talking about
parking arguments as we go about our Christmas shopping, but
also verged into using a phone at the gym and
a couple of other bits and pieces as well.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
Can you hear from you? Nineteen nine two is a
text Matt. Nothing wrong with Lululemon, mate, absolutely agree, good quality.
I don't have a problem with the Lululemon tight yep.
I've got a nice pair of Lululemon Yoga plant pants
that I wear.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Do you nice?

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Can you bring them in?

Speaker 2 (59:41):
What you want to see them?

Speaker 8 (59:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Yeah, kinda do gotta do. I'll borrow them, John, how
are you matey?

Speaker 29 (59:52):
Then my wife were heating into town, saw the ideal
parking space, went to and there's a couple of girls
standing in the paper space saving it to someone else.
So I said, hey, yeah, you can't do that, people's space,
said Grandma was turning up in a minute in a wheelchair.
I said, well, handicapped spaces are over there. For some reason,

(01:00:15):
she didn't have a handicapped pass though I don't know,
so anyway, put the words put the words went backward,
some forwards, and in the end my wife said, look
just just just pack down there. Well, mom turns up
with grandma in the wheelchair, tucked her in and the
wheelchair starts with her out. Next when her mom decides
she's going to come down and have a word with me,

(01:00:36):
she starts off, Yeah, she's put a bulldog kind of
woman starts off with you, don't you.

Speaker 16 (01:00:41):
Swear at my daughter?

Speaker 29 (01:00:42):
I said, well, your daughter swore at me first.

Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
But then my wife comes walking around the corner. She's
real bad arthritis and her hips well overdue for her
operation on two crutches, and this woman just looks She
suddenly looked like she she'd swallowed a cup of cold slick.
And I just turned around and I said, it's what
it's easier to do, to walk on these crutches or
to wheel your mum around, you know, and said she

(01:01:08):
didn't realize. You know, people just assume that they've got
the worst situation, you know, And so yeah, she sort
of looked it, looked at it humble. After that, turned
around and walked off.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Has your wife John.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
She's had one operation, she's still waiting on the other one.
They're going to do six months clean this. She struggles
to walk. She you know, have having out of the
time of it. She probably listened now and she's going
she's going to shut up, shut up.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
So they didn't know your wife was was on crutches
when when it all kicked off.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
No, but they shouldn't have been standing there anyway. And yeah,
I chucked someone in a blade with wheelchair. They're fairly mobile,
and she should have had had a handygat parts if
she's that bed anyway. But yeah, it was quite funny.
Just see the look on this woman's face as they
just assume grandma and you know, in a wheelchair, they've
got the right of way, and this one of my
wife comes around really struggling to walk, even with crutches.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
Yes, so they were kind of it was a trumping
situation going off.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
I got some satisfaction in the Thank you very much,
John Ben Ben, How are you hello?

Speaker 13 (01:02:10):
Not too bad?

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
Listen?

Speaker 13 (01:02:12):
I get something to tell you that ranges from pretty
damn serious to friggin hilarious. It's over the road trucking
in America, which I spent a bit of time over
there in the early eighties plus Australia, but it doesn't
happen in Australia much because the Australians are pretty laid back.

(01:02:34):
But you get these mostly non Americans come wheeling into
the fuel bays and they'll hop out and leave their
vehicles sitting there, turn it off while they go and
have a three course buffet meal.

Speaker 9 (01:02:53):
I kid you not.

Speaker 13 (01:02:54):
I've seen some hilarious things, but I've equally seen some
real bad stuff. It usually ends up in a real
aggressive situation. I've seen blokes pull handguns out and point
them at other people and obviously nothing's happened, it's just

(01:03:17):
trying to intimidate them. And also on the other end,
I've seen a bloke walk out of a truck stop
or get out of a truck that's waiting in the
fuel line and taking the keys out of a truck
and hidden them. When the driver come out, there's no

(01:03:39):
keys in it.

Speaker 14 (01:03:42):
That is dirty.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
That is very dirty.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Yeah, things have You know, things have gone wrong when
handguns come out. Yeah, but you know American truck stops.
I know I'm only getting this from the movies, but
seem to be a hot bed for old case.

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
Yeah, things happening there, Barbara.

Speaker 17 (01:03:57):
How are you?

Speaker 30 (01:03:58):
Oh, I'm wonderful, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Merry Christmas, guys, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 17 (01:04:02):
I'm eighty one.

Speaker 26 (01:04:04):
On Tuesday, I went into what were.

Speaker 15 (01:04:08):
And I've got a disability park thing because I got
really bads lower back. Went in and I saw there
was absolutely bedlam, and there was one lady who was,
you know, just unpacking her packing a thing up stick
to move out from.

Speaker 26 (01:04:25):
The only park that I could see.

Speaker 15 (01:04:28):
So I sort of sat on the side and waited,
had my indicator on, and I was sitting there for
a couple of minutes. I guess the guy came in
from the other direction, and I knew what he was
going to do.

Speaker 26 (01:04:41):
When she pulled out.

Speaker 15 (01:04:42):
He pulled straight in, so I gave him a bit
of a honk and called out the window, excuse me,
I was waiting. He sped one over there for you.
I said, hey, I've got a disability, but.

Speaker 24 (01:04:54):
Well, so have I.

Speaker 11 (01:04:56):
There.

Speaker 15 (01:04:58):
So he didn't show me his part, but you know,
so I just sat there and I waited. There were
cars behind me tooting, and I'm just looking out the
window going okay, wait, I'm waiting.

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Stand your ground.

Speaker 26 (01:05:10):
Eventually, Judge, he had.

Speaker 15 (01:05:13):
To pull out so that I could go in there.

Speaker 26 (01:05:15):
He was, he was not at every camper.

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
I bet Barbara, thank you for your call. That's an
interesting one I'd never thought about. So you got a
limited amount of disability parks? Yes, and then there's multiple
people coming into the mobility parks disability parks? What do
we call them these days?

Speaker 10 (01:05:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
Mobility?

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
Yeah, mobility parts. Then what do you do? Do you
have a mobility trump off? Let's you know who's got
the who's got the bigger need for the park?

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
I suppose you have to?

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
I mean, how do you know? How do you how
do you unpack that one?

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
It's like the wheelchair and the crutches situation. Who's who's
got it harder, who needs it the most?

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
So someone with one leg pulls in, and then and
there's a bit of an locasion, someone with no legs
pulls in. Does the no leg person have right away
over the one league person?

Speaker 5 (01:06:03):
I'll say yes, yeah, and that circumstance. But it's interesting.
You're right if you've been in the situation. Oh, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number to call?
Nine two ninety two is the text.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Now, this is the around the question of pulling it
into a fuel station and going into the shop but
not getting pulled fuel yep. If at fuel stations buying
say bread or subway at Celtic's Green Lane for a
specific anthony, the texture and there's no parking available, have
to park at the pump anthony, you know, I mean

(01:06:37):
I always think the pump the pump park is for petrol.

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
I would prefer that you park where you and flate
your tires or buy the vacuum cleaner machine than at
the fuel pump because arguably, and that annoys some people,
if you want to use the vacuum cleaner, that's going
to upset you if you go on for bread. But
arguably that is better because a lot more people need
fuel than the old vacuum cleaner.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
What's the minimum fuel you can put in? You put
a little bit of put two bucks in there to
secure the park. I suppose it would work. Yeah, I
remember when I have been one squeeze. I remember back
of the day when I'd go and get five bucks fuel.
It's a super book.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Count them up with the coins. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. It is nineteen
to two two.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Have a chat with the.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Lads on eight hundred eighty ten eighty Matt Heathan Tyler
Adams afternoons us talk, sa'd be.

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
It is sixteen two three and we are talking about
parking arguments. Plenty of texts coming through.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Yeah, so an answer to my question how it works
when there's congestion at the mobility parks, first and first
serve in all situations. If you have a disability pass,
if you were there first, you get it, plain and simple.
And this text us says, no, it's who gets their
first always, not who's more deserving.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Yeah, it would be a things clean.

Speaker 2 (01:07:51):
It would be a terrible situation where people are I
don't know, arguing who's more deserving of it.

Speaker 3 (01:07:57):
You could say, yeah, I don't know how you win
that argument. Oh sorry, I one hundred eighty ten eighty
se that number.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Coo this This person says parking and mobility parks big fine,
even if only dropping off picking up, don't do it?
Not worth it. It's seven hundred and fifty dollar finees
his RUNA wow, that was recently increased to that, wasn't it?

Speaker 28 (01:08:19):
It was?

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
Yeah, that's a good one there as well.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Wife hates it when other people use parent parks and
get out with bloody ten year old kids and she's
got babies toddlers. That's from Jeremy from Timuru. That's an
interesting one. I had a friend who didn't have kids
that was always complaining about the parent parks at supermarkets
and I'll explained to them that it's a commercial reality
for the shops. They want the parents in there because

(01:08:43):
they spend so much more than you do.

Speaker 3 (01:08:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:47):
You know, if you're just a single guy coming in
for your six pack and a loaf of bread and
cann of beans, you're not going to spend as much
as the parent with three kids in the back.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
Yeah, very true.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
You're going to fill a couple of trolleys. But where
do you?

Speaker 5 (01:08:59):
I mean, it's an interesting one that if you've got
teenagers and you pull up to the parent car park,
I mean, are you and your rights to park there?

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
And you've got twenty year olds jumping in out of
the big I mean you're still appearent.

Speaker 2 (01:09:12):
It's a good point. Hey, guys, What really grinds my gears,
nice family go reference there is when you want diesel
but the pumps of Tesla's park next to them. Since
when does a Tesla need fuel? We can't park at
the car charging parks, but they can block up the
petrol pumps. Cheers DIBs. Ah, that would be quite a
power move to just park in the park of full

(01:09:33):
you know V eight Yeah, pulling right in the park.

Speaker 8 (01:09:40):
Just leave it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
Kevin, how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 27 (01:09:43):
I'm very well, and this is it just seems like
there's an awful lot of judgmental people out there about parking,
which has had me to have me laughing all afternoon.
But I just picked up on one of the comment
from one of your Texas Rachel Uh, and she said
something about people when you get in the car park
you got in a shopping center and you've already got

(01:10:05):
the park, and you get back in there afterwards.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:10:08):
I have often often how do you know what's going
on with that person? You don't know if they might
it might be a husband. And I'll use myself as
an example. I've often been dragged around shopping centers when
we're looking for something for my my, my my better
half and she was and often I'll be sent back

(01:10:30):
to the car because I'm actually slowing down the whole,
the whole, and I'm I'm sort of shuffling along like
a petulant child between different clothing stops. So I'll be
sent back to the car and so and I will
scroll or have a snooze. You know, I don't mind
people asking me, but you know, uh, and then hopefully

(01:10:52):
in about maybe an hour's time, my wife will returned
with handbag with bags of shopping and and uh and
being quite pleased about what she's purchased.

Speaker 2 (01:11:01):
I wonder if there needs to be a you know,
sticker that you can put on your window, which is
you know, partners that are useless and shops and.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Have sent the car.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Yeah, please be kind, please please be kind. I can't
hear it in shops. I'm being I'm being a nuisance.

Speaker 27 (01:11:17):
It is quite funny at the moment. I've been around
the shopping center today and I have seen a few
husbands waiting at the door. I'm guessing husbands. I'm assuming,
I am assuming, of course, but they were stood at
the door and I'm waiting, and they're going, oh, yeah,
I know that. Look mate, you're waiting for your better half.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
It's weird thing happens to me if I go shopping
with my lovely partner Tracy, and we're in a shop.
I don't know what happens, but I just find myself
outside the shop, standing there. I just there's something I
just can't remain in the shop.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
It's just like a moment, like a blackout, and all
of a sudden, Yeah, I just wake up and I've.

Speaker 2 (01:11:51):
Left the shop. I'm standing in the car back going
just every five of my being goes get out of here.

Speaker 27 (01:11:58):
I think it's it's a genetic thing that I think
you know. But we'll get onto a big, a whole
other argument about that.

Speaker 5 (01:12:06):
You're so right, Yeah, you called you want to get
in there as a male. You want to get in,
get what you need, and get out as soon as possible.
Any sort of browsing or looking through racks or anything
like that. It's just something that feels like crymp tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
Yeah. And it's not like you are qualified to say
whether the thing, or are listened to whether that the
item of clothing looks good or not. Yeah, you go, yeah,
looks great. And they say, you're just saying that so
we can get out of.

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
Here and see that to every single one, impatient and unhelpful.

Speaker 2 (01:12:33):
Yeah. Yeah, So if you're you know, hastling someone that's
in a park at a shopping mall or something because
they're not leaving the park, they might be a shopping refugee.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
It is eleven minutes to three back very shortly. Oh,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number?

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
The issues that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Affect you and a bit of fun along the way.
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons News Talks EDB.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
News Talks EDB. We're talking about parking arguments. According to
a insurance a survey, they've just done one in seven
of us who's got into an argument over a parking
spot while doing the Christmas shopping. One hundred and eighty
ten eighty is that number?

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
Get a tony?

Speaker 10 (01:13:10):
Yeah? Gooday.

Speaker 11 (01:13:12):
I had one little parking experience quite a few years
ago at the Victoria Park Market. I was sitting there
in the in the right hand lane with my indicator on,
just waiting for a guy to leave his car park.
He pulled out and a guy in a convertible shot
past me and straight into the car park. So I

(01:13:35):
went off and found another car park. And in those
days on my b you inflate your tires. I had
a little screw cap on there with the thing that
removes the inserts out of the things that you pump
up the tire with coloring what's called yep. So I

(01:13:56):
went back to where his car was and unscrewed the
inserts out of all of his tires and let his
tires down for him.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
Did you did you wide around to see him come back?

Speaker 11 (01:14:08):
It was a lot bigger than me, so I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Oh, mate, that has taken it to the next level.
Letting someone size down. Well, it's good revenge, all right. Look, hey,
I just got.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
This text from nicol and I thought i'd read it out. Okay, Hey,
Matt and Tyler. I'm a relatively recent listener of your
programmer News Talks B and I really enjoy it. Thank
you so much. The topics are interesting in thought provoking. Well,
I may not personally agree with some of the points
of view, I respect the fact that everybody is entitled
to their opinion. What I find quite appalling is the
lack of civility and a few of your audience members

(01:14:42):
who tend to hurl adverse comments and even call you
guys unbefitting names. That is downright rude and unbecoming of
us Kiwis as a free society. Funnily enough, these people
continue to listen to the show and continue to complain
there is clearly love hidden in their anger opposition. Keep
up the great work, guys. Wish you and your families
are very merry Christmas and best wishes for the festive seasons.

(01:15:03):
Kindness regards Nickel, Hey, thank you so much for that.
And you know, when we read out the sort of
confronting texts and the negative texts on the show, I
just want to say, the overwhelming amount of texts that
we get on nine two nine and two are incredibly nice. Yeah,
we get a lot of love, and we had a
lot of love, and we really appreciate it. But sometimes

(01:15:25):
I just find it really funny to read out the
odd one that comes through that's having a go Yeah.
It just spices things up a bit. It gives me
an opportunity to have a go back.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Yeah, but get a giggle out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
But if you're listening to the show and you think
that there's a lot of nasty people out there, there isn't. Really.
There's mostly just really really wonderful people that are sitting
and interesting stuff and nice comments, but it just feels
a bit weird to read out too many nice comments.

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we do love the abusive ones
because they make us laugh. That doesn't mean please, I mean, look,
if you want to see an abusive sticks, we're here
for it. So nine two nine two. But you're right,
the vast majority are great, key, we see.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Well, the great thing about news Talks, you'd be is
it's open lines on I one hundred and eighteen eighty
and open texts on nine two, so anyone can get
a direct line.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
To us exactly. Yep, and we can't hide away from that, right.

Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
That has been a great discussion, So thank you very
much to everyone who called and text on that. But
we need to leave it there because coming up this
is a massive moment, very very excited by this new
Zealander of the year.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
Yeah, we have the new Zealand of the Year. Who
will it be up next?

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):

the winner. So stand by.

Speaker 5 (01:18:14):
A very good afternoon, Je, welcome back into the show.
Seven past three, and it is a doozy of an
hour we've got coming up because it is the last
hour we've.

Speaker 3 (01:18:24):
Got of this year.

Speaker 5 (01:18:25):
Woo woo, So in about twenty five minutes, a special
treat for you right at the end of the show.
We've called it the Christmas Catchups will kick us Kiwe's
and today it is morgana O'Reilly Kiwi Superstar White Lotus.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Yeah, she's fantastic and really looking forward to chatting with
her a great way at end of the year.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
And also what has become a tradition, Well this will
be the second time that we've done it, so we
have the end of year weigh in and see how
matt and I are going to go over the summer
break to lose as much weight as possible. We've stepped
it up this year that I've mentioned on the show before.
I've got a personal trainer. His name is Jesse Peterson
with Jets and he's in studio at the moment. So

(01:19:07):
we're going to go all out. We're actually going to
step it up. So we're gonna do weight, We're going
to do some arms, some waist what else you got
on that wee list mate on the shoulders as well.

Speaker 3 (01:19:16):
So this is going to be a big one. This
is I'm excited by this.

Speaker 2 (01:19:19):
Yeah, because if you can make positive gains in your
health across the Christmas break, then you can do it anytime,
right yep. That's that's when it's the easiest just to
have a mass blowout and veg.

Speaker 3 (01:19:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
So look, I'm up for the challenge. Tyler, up for
the challenge.

Speaker 9 (01:19:35):
Me too.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
This is going to be a doozy. So that's all
coming up. But right now, New Zealander of the Year.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
Said be Friday. After Friday, we grind out a New
Zealander of the Week on this radio show. But only
once a year do we crown the big Dog. That's right.
It's the annual prestigious, unregulated full Fat Vight Supercharge one
hundred and fifty proof completely made up Matt Heath and
Tyler Adams. Afternoons New Zealander of the Year. As always,

(01:20:06):
ladies and gentlemen, they'll be on one winner. But because
it's been a big, complicated, emotional wounding at times year,
today we are handing out.

Speaker 3 (01:20:15):
Two bonus runners up at no extra charge.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
But before we put our foot to the floor on
these awards, let's pause for thirty seconds to acknowledge some
great Kiwis we lost this year. One spender's life walking
into the darkest corners of human behavior and somehow still
came out with empathy, humor and hope. Another served as
a prime minister, diplomat and statesman and reminded us that
you can lose power without losing dignity. The third was

(01:20:41):
a beat cop who became part of the national furniture,
bought authority, reassurance and amusing abuse of dirty criminals into
Kiwi living rooms. Different lives, different callings, that all three
flavored our great country. Rip Nigel Ladder, Jim Bulger and
Detective Graham Bell retired.

Speaker 23 (01:21:00):
We're looking for your help, so find a group of
murderous things to Young Creek for half whitbrey Stooges, two
fat woman and a.

Speaker 16 (01:21:07):
Man with.

Speaker 11 (01:21:10):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
Let's put this endless, punishing admin to bed before Santa
turns up and gets stuck into the Matty and Tyler
Adams Afternoons New Zealander of the Year this year on
the show, Tyler and I took some of the most
humbling calls we've ever had, calls from New Zealanders who,

(01:21:32):
in the middle of their grief, made the hard decision
to offer up the organs of their loved ones to
help others. A few weeks back, we talked to Luise
who shared what it means to those who received these
most precious donations.

Speaker 25 (01:21:44):
Mind Water received a Cardi eric kidney, which was a
gift from some wonderful families loved yet who had passed away.
She went on to study, she got married, she traveled
the world, and she gave birth to two beautiful children
who are now fifteen and seventeen.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
It's a bloody, difficult, but beautiful thing for families to do,
and that's why this year we honor you z Ylland's
organ donors. The next runners up don't.

Speaker 32 (01:22:12):
Trend on TikTok, They don't wear sexy ball gowns with
plunging necklines on red carpets. But when this year got tough,
they showed up quietly, paid the bills, kept the lights
on and stop the wheels from falling off, fertilizing all
over our little green shoots, and keeping New Zealand moving
when it mattered most our beloved agriculture sector.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
We thank and honor you. He's a man who could
live anywhere, work anywhere, and pay tax anywhere.

Speaker 33 (01:22:44):
But instead he came here and stayed and made three
massive films, employing thousands of Kiwis, building skills, careers and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
Infrastructure all over the shop. Not only that, but this
year the most successful movie director ever did something that
matters more than any three D flick about blue people
ever could. He became a Zealand is not a visitor.

Speaker 34 (01:23:10):
Not a guest, a freaking real aass year nah Kiwi
for your belief, investment and mind blowing success, James the
Kiwi Cameron, you are second runner.

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Up for the Cylinder of.

Speaker 3 (01:23:23):
The Year run.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
This year, ladies and gentlemen, we watched a very Kiwi
story unfold across twenty four glamorous global cities. A young
boy from BOOKAKOHI dreamed big, got a shot, then completely
and utterly shat the bed. But he didn't complain.

Speaker 33 (01:23:49):
He took it on the chin, under intense pressure, with
billions on the line, on the biggest stage in world motorsports.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
He fought back and he delivered.

Speaker 33 (01:23:58):
No excuses, no complaining, just kiwi grit at three hundred
and sixty four kilometers an hour for your fearlessness, resilience
and skill and making tens of thousands of key.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
We set alarms at the stupid hours of the morning.

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
Leam Lawson, you are first runner up for.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
New Zealander of the Year. Okay, we have finally reached
the end. Who will be the Matt Heath and Tyler
Adams afternoons New Zealander of the Year. Well, this year
it isn't a celebrity, it isn't an athlete, It isn't

(01:24:38):
even one person at all. Let me explain the week.
Leave New Zealand for biggest salaries or warmer weather. The
best of us choose family, community, schools, mates, scenery and
the slightly chaotic, deep familiarity of the place that raised us.
This year, tens of thousands wised up and came back

(01:25:00):
some with new skills, some with their tails between their legs,
some with international lovers in their beds. But together the
powerful men, women, children and their quarantine pits sent a
clear message to the world.

Speaker 35 (01:25:17):
That our beautiful country is worth believing in and worth
fighting for, and that together we will make the best
the world's even better.

Speaker 34 (01:25:31):
For backing our country with your feet, the twenty six
thousand Kighlely citizens who came back to stay in twenty
twenty five, welcome home.

Speaker 30 (01:25:40):
You are the man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:41):
Heathan Tyler Adams Afternoons New Zealanders of the Year. Take
it away, Sir Howard Morrison, right.

Speaker 3 (01:27:01):
On News Talk ZIB afternoon. It is eighteen past three.

Speaker 11 (01:27:05):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:27:05):
The show is all about conversations. That's why it exists
in and that's why we are here. So obviously we
truly appreciate all the calls we get on our eight
hundred and eighty ten eighty. In fact, we love all
our calls. We love the deep, thoughtful, life changing calls,
the humbling calls where people tell us the tragic and
meaningful things that have happened in their lives. The calls
that teach us stuff we didn't know. We always appreciate

(01:27:27):
the learnings, and boy, boy, have I learned a lot
from you fantastic callers. But you know what, we also
love the calls from the people who hate us and
I want to knock us off our purchase. We even
enjoy the threatening psychos that scare the living. But Jesus
out of us.

Speaker 11 (01:27:41):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:27:41):
So it is only right and proper that we end
the year with a celebration of some of the best
calls we got this year.

Speaker 28 (01:27:50):
I was the world'st graduate skeptic, but I had this
sudden conviction that telepathic dolphins had given me the story,
and the story was there.

Speaker 36 (01:27:59):
You can call me, heybag if you liked. I need
to put some metal Neppi's on. I just about got
blowing right across the road. Man, that's a hell of
a storm, and I'm probably one of the last few nights.

Speaker 10 (01:28:09):
Of the roads.

Speaker 20 (01:28:12):
My husband, he ended up with a necrotype and clashy.

Speaker 2 (01:28:15):
Isis and he came right, did he did?

Speaker 9 (01:28:17):
It was all right in the end, kind of his
lost sight legs to the name and he lost all
his funkertips.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
And that by and.

Speaker 30 (01:28:26):
Yeah, he come over and in front of my partner
and went absolutely Barrico about midnight and we ended out
throwing dog for all was worth. We had a real
downfall one time and his drained got blocked up. He
got up to clean the spouting off, fell off the
ladder and broke his legs. Real bad break. I'm responsible
to the broken lead.

Speaker 22 (01:28:47):
They run missing groups, so you got to get vouched
and and then that's when you have access to anything
you want.

Speaker 4 (01:28:55):
We could go miss guns teases.

Speaker 37 (01:28:58):
We went through the worst year of our life life.
She was out who developed a really serious into our commission.
She developed inners here and a bugger rivers disease and
is recovering so out of parents and we find joy
every single day. And you know, I'm celebrating cow wow
she's doing.

Speaker 22 (01:29:17):
I'm not a wealthy person, but I'm not going to say, oh,
look at that red sky, I should have some of
his money, like I just don't see it like that.
I was raised in West Africa, so you are living
someone else's dream, I promise you.

Speaker 33 (01:29:30):
Man.

Speaker 9 (01:29:31):
We've had pit rat my whole life pretty much. I
may say we risted these two white, gorgeous rats.

Speaker 14 (01:29:37):
They were so sweet.

Speaker 9 (01:29:38):
One of them actually got out and it read was
a wild rat around our house. We had twenty baby rats.

Speaker 10 (01:29:46):
Just running around.

Speaker 9 (01:29:48):
We don't know. We're our hit one with.

Speaker 21 (01:29:51):
My wife died twenty two years ago and she always
wanted the glass coffin, so I had to do the
next best thing. When I built it, there was twenty
two coats of clear lacker on it.

Speaker 10 (01:30:01):
And it looked like blass.

Speaker 21 (01:30:04):
When they put it on the cremator, it went off
like a bomb.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons call oh, eight hundred eighty
eighty on news Talks'd be very.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
Good afternoon twenty three past three. So this has become
a bit of a tradition for us, now, Matt, this
would be the second time.

Speaker 14 (01:30:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Well, last time we did it we'd only been on
here for about a month. But this is their first
full year together.

Speaker 3 (01:30:35):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:30:35):
So it is a tradition every year. Please explain Thailand.

Speaker 5 (01:30:38):
So this is the way in that we did last year,
and you did beat me by about a kilo. But
we've really stepped it up this year because we want
to do it properly. So we decided to get in
my pt, actually my personal trainer, Jesse Peterson from jets
Kiday mate.

Speaker 38 (01:30:52):
Gooday, guys, how's it going good?

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
So the idea of this is that the hardest time
for you to deal with fitness and the hardest time
for you to make positive change around that area exercise
and such is across the Christmas break, right, yep, So
what better time to have a fit challenge to make
it make it hard exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
So we've already done the numbers. Do we want to
run through them quickly?

Speaker 38 (01:31:14):
So on the weight, Oh so, Matt you had a
decent weight of eighty four point eight kilos.

Speaker 2 (01:31:20):
And Tyler put on a bit since my marathon, right and.

Speaker 38 (01:31:23):
Tyler Lena men representing me by the way, seventy six
point nine.

Speaker 3 (01:31:28):
It's good start, good start, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:31:30):
Neat, so is a percentage loss because it's unfair if if?
Oh no, okay whatever, Actually I was just thinking it's
unfair in my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:31:38):
Well, there's a couple of metrics here. So then we've
got the shoulders.

Speaker 38 (01:31:41):
Yes, we've got the shoulders around the chest. So Matt
you have a good chest one hundred and four cimeters
and chest Tyler were ten cents behind it ninety four.
So we need a few more bench presses in there,
all right, and then we've got the arms as well,
So Matt thirty two centimeters.

Speaker 2 (01:31:56):
Fantastic, silent guns out, yes, Tyler.

Speaker 38 (01:31:59):
Only a little bit behind with thirty centimeters, come on, boy.
And then I suppose the biggest one, the one that
you'll see the most changed with, is the waste around
the belly button. Yes, Matt ninety five centimeters fantastic and
Tyler ninety three.

Speaker 2 (01:32:12):
Okay, well hang on, I'm running more of an hourglass though,
aren't I.

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):
Yeah, you are genetics.

Speaker 2 (01:32:18):
We do it if we can bear.

Speaker 38 (01:32:20):
Oh, you've got a beautiful figure.

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
Beautiful figure.

Speaker 38 (01:32:22):
It's only going to get better and better.

Speaker 2 (01:32:23):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 38 (01:32:23):
And then the last one bit controversial around the hips. Yeah,
so they've got the most junk in the trunk.

Speaker 2 (01:32:30):
You can't do that measurement on everyone without asking anyway.

Speaker 12 (01:32:32):
No, you can't.

Speaker 38 (01:32:33):
You guys are more than happy. Matt, you've got one
hundred and one cinimeters right there, and Taylor one hundred
and two.

Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
All nice. And we've also added in an extra challenge
and I was a bit nervous by this, but we
are going to a tempt when we return twenty push ups.

Speaker 38 (01:32:51):
Twenty push ups, and the goal is ideally in a row.

Speaker 2 (01:32:55):
Watch is the big challenge, right, Yeah. Yeah, So you'll
come back in and go through this with us. So
where you operate out of.

Speaker 38 (01:33:02):
So I'm at JITs eating terrorists.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
JS in Terris.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Any any suggestions, any tip? Well, you're his personal trainer,
so you'll be intimately involved with him.

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 38 (01:33:12):
Yes, And I'm kind of rooting for Tid's truth to
be told. He's representing the business.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
It's a lot of appreciate, actually, a lot of appreciate.

Speaker 38 (01:33:18):
It is a lot of pressure, but the main thing
is that you guys have chosen the hardest time, right,
so you've got a challenge ahead of you.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
Yes, that's what I love about it. Well, that's the thing, right.

Speaker 38 (01:33:27):
So the things that you want to be kind of
integrating and avoiding probably just movement, because I feel like
this time of year everyone wants to just sit down
heaven there, right, Yeah, So trying to get as much
movement in during the day. I don't want to be
that person that's like, hey, get your fitbit on and
like trying to get to the ten thousand steps. But
it is a good metric to follow.

Speaker 3 (01:33:46):
Bring it on.

Speaker 5 (01:33:46):
This is going to be good. Jesse thank you very
much mate. We'll see you back around about the twentieth.
We'll figure out the date and we'll see who is
the ultimate champion over summer. But good to see you man,
Thank you very much. So if you want to go
check out Jesse's website ptjessep dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
He's a good man. But we'll see how we go and.

Look if you want to be part of the challenge
and measure yourself up and go hard over Christmas like
we are.

Christmas catch ups with kick ass Kiwi's MORGANA, how.

Speaker 3 (01:36:18):
Are you, Jada?

Speaker 9 (01:36:21):
I'm really good. I need like a little bio like
that every morning. I just need to hear somebody intro
me to the day and it's like, oh god, it
sounds great.

Speaker 3 (01:36:30):
We can record that for you, MORGANA, the plaining time
you want.

Speaker 9 (01:36:33):
It would be great. That's brilliant.

Speaker 24 (01:36:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
We're gonna like millions of others around the world. I
was a huge fan of White Lotus and was so
stoked and impressed when I heard that you'd got the gig.
Were you were you a fan of the show beforehand
and tell us how you heard that you that you'd
got this huge international job.

Speaker 9 (01:36:54):
Oh my gosh. I was such a fan of the show.
I love that show, and so when the audition came through,
I sent off for the NDA. You know, so far.
My agent was like, I've never seen an NBA come back, well,
you know. And then when I was hearing for the audition,
actually I listened to the soundtrack quite a lot, you

(01:37:14):
know that iconic get me in the vibe, you know,
get me in the get me the zone. And then
it was all quite straightforward from there, which often is
not straightforward. It's often like back and forth and back
and forth and like lots of I was so used
to sitting in anguish for months, but then I had

(01:37:37):
some really nice feedback. When I was I was at
a friend's wedding and I felt like I need to
stop the wedding and said the White Lights casting team
like my tape. I didn't stop the wedding, and I
just felt amazing and figured I'd just digne out on that.

Speaker 21 (01:37:52):
For years.

Speaker 9 (01:37:52):
They'd be like, you know, White Loaders would come out
and I'd say to it. I'd say to my friends,
I auditioned for that and they liked it, so watch out.
And then two weeks later I got a call on
a Saturday morning, because that would have been Friday afternoon
in the States, and yeah, my agent said, bless Her
shouldn't be around the Bush, Good morning, how I've got okay,

(01:38:13):
We've heard about White Lotus and they are going to
offer you the pat.

Speaker 15 (01:38:16):
Yes.

Speaker 9 (01:38:17):
All I remember saying is are you sure?

Speaker 19 (01:38:21):
And so happy?

Speaker 9 (01:38:23):
And I was calling my husband. He's a director, which
is not how we met. No shade to anyone who
goes that way anyway, but he was on set at
the time, and so I was. I tried to call
him in the morning, and I knew he'd been the
sick of it, so I was trying my luck. And
then he ticked it back and are you all good?
And I texted him I've heard about White Lotus and

(01:38:46):
he takes it back a question mark, and I takes
it back you want to go to Thailand?

Speaker 24 (01:38:54):
It was so coud.

Speaker 5 (01:38:56):
What a beautiful response and moment. So when you first
read that script more Ganner, what was your first thoughts?
I mean, such a brilliantly written show, dark, funny, unsettling,
blown away the first time you read that.

Speaker 9 (01:39:10):
Script, Oh yeah, it was amazing reading it because it
also I have to say, like I got offered the
pat and then I thought for about a week while
we were waiting for kind of the proper deal, you know,
the proper offer to come through. I thought, I think
it might be a scam. I think, oh, scam, because
this has happened before. There's a really great podcast actually

(01:39:31):
called Chameleon is it called Kamelian No Hollywood con Queen,
and it's about this is real. I knew some people
who got hit by this. A person in Indonesia that
would call agents and be like, they've got this huge
part on the big show that just you pay for
the tickets over and we will reimburse. A very strange scam.
But so when I finally got the contract, I was like, okay,

(01:39:53):
that maybe that's good. And then when I finally got
the script, I was like, okay, this is a very
elaborate scam. And I read the scripts and it was
just amazing. It was like watching The White Lottie. You know,
it was just so when you because I knew the
show and I yeah, glorious. And also I didn't necessarily
know what my character was, you know, so I was

(01:40:16):
reading it each at the start of each of the episodes.
You know, I actually just search my character's name to
see how often she was popping up. I know that
sounds really that's shallow. But also hilariously because my character's
name is Pam laaraz a. Pam shows up a lot. No, no, no,

(01:40:39):
oh yeah here I am no no, l.

Speaker 2 (01:40:45):
Have you been taking phones off people in your private
life and looking after them since since the role?

Speaker 24 (01:40:51):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 9 (01:40:53):
Yeah, it's a great way to make friends, you just
take people's phones away.

Speaker 26 (01:40:58):
No.

Speaker 9 (01:40:58):
Look, but I can tell you that I now charge
my phone on the other side of my bedroom. I
don't have it next to my bed anymore, which makes
me read books again and I feel completely I see
or so thank theemonious about it. I'm like, guys, you've
got to take your phone away from next to your beer.
You do, it's good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:17):
Well, we'll end up being such an important plot point
in the stress of the people that needed their phones
but also didn't need their phones, and how helpful it was.
I don't I mean, I don't spoiler.

Speaker 9 (01:41:28):
That's how I knew that I wasn't going to get
a cut out, because I was like, Wow, she's part
of a pretty vitale.

Speaker 3 (01:41:37):
So we're Ganna.

Speaker 5 (01:41:38):
You've now worked across comedy, drama, theater, TV and film,
of course, how do you shift your approach between those forms?

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
And do you have a favorite.

Speaker 9 (01:41:49):
I look at them all. I look at every job
that I do is like working in a different kitchen
making different food. And of course you just I want
variety as much as possible. So I love all of
them because I love food. If you know anything, if
you're enjoying my awnly, yes.

Speaker 27 (01:42:10):
So I will.

Speaker 9 (01:42:12):
Any type of performing is just delicious, And especially if
they're as variety. You know, you can get overloaded with
one thing and go I just need to I want
to do some stupid comedy and they need do a
stupid comedy for a bit. You're jeez, I need some anguish.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
Yeah, it's a beautiful analogy everything.

Speaker 1 (01:42:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:42:34):
I've been working on it, working on it over there.

Speaker 2 (01:42:37):
I'm good friends with someone that you took over there
as an emotional support creature. And of course famously on
White Lotus. Just to go back to that big fan,
everyone stays in the resort, and you know, the actors
are living in that era area, and so how was that,
how how was just the experience of the show outside

(01:42:59):
of the show, that going down to breakfast, the hanging
out with everyone, that that whole part of it must
have been great.

Speaker 9 (01:43:06):
Look I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes it was really stressful.
Especially it's that it was like, oh my gosh, like I, uh,
this is There's a lot to take on when you
first arrived. There's obviously you're sharing a hotel, and a
hotel which who's which level of opulence is beyond anything
I've ever experienced, Like there's very literally a very small

(01:43:29):
percentage of people who can afford to go somewhere like that.
I think my villa that they gave me, which I'm
sure is like the smallest, was five thousand dollars a night.

Speaker 13 (01:43:39):
That is insane to me.

Speaker 9 (01:43:42):
So you're dealing with that. When you first get in,
there's kind of like awe of this space and then
it's filled the people. And usually fancy hotels are just
filled with annoying people, but that one was filled with amazing,
like very famous.

Speaker 13 (01:43:58):
Cool people.

Speaker 9 (01:44:01):
So there was quite a bit of imposter syndrome for
me just get over. But by the end I felt
like I could just say were beautiful people and I
got to just enjoy their company. So by the time
I went back up with my cousin, who is your friend?

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
Come do?

Speaker 9 (01:44:22):
And then by that point I felt like I get
to be really cool and be like, oh Jack, this
is my friend Amy, Oh this is Carrie Hi's. So
it's interesting, good process. Definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:44:36):
It's interesting that you bring up the sweets because I
listened to this podcast with Walton Goggins and he was
talking about how sometimes, even though all his spiritual work,
he's very shallow. And he stopped off at an art
exhibition in Paris before he went to the Shooting White
Lotus and he said, while he was looking at this art,
he was worrying that he would miss out on the
good sweets at the on the white loads at the

(01:44:57):
White Lotus resort.

Speaker 3 (01:44:58):
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful man. MORGANA.

Speaker 5 (01:45:01):
We're absolutely loving chatting with you. This is brilliant. Are
you're right to hang with us for another few minutes?

Speaker 3 (01:45:06):
Yeah, let's hang out fantastic.

Speaker 5 (01:45:08):
When we come back, we've got a few Christmas questions
for you, and of course what twenty twenty six looks

Very shortly we are talking to MORGANA. O'Reilly as one
of our Christmas catchups with kickas keywis you're listening to
news talks here, b Bag very shortly.

Speaker 1 (01:45:23):

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
As part of our Christmas cat Shops with Kick kas Keywis.
Thanks again for your time, Wiganer.

Speaker 9 (01:45:43):
Ah, it's lovely to be here now.

Speaker 2 (01:45:46):
You know you've got a bunch of projects. You've just
been working with the great New Zealander Tom Sainsbury. So
what are you looking forward to in twenty twenty six?

Speaker 16 (01:45:56):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:45:57):
Well, I can't wait for that series to come out.
It comes out on February ninth as a Sky original
and it's Tom Sainsbury's series based on his podcast series
Small Town Scandal, and it is so funny and charming
and ridiculous. I knew I was going to be doing

(01:46:17):
some press for it, so I made sure to get
a few copies, like a few of the episodes, and
then I demanded, very dramatically, We're not more dramatically what
I think I need the whole theories just to be
able to like really know what I'm advertising back. Really,
it was just because I mean, I love it. I
love it. It's really silly, and I feel like the

(01:46:39):
world is really ready for some silly. So that's coming out.
And then I've got a show called Bust Up coming out,
which is in sort of like far God tone. I
played a police officer, so I feel like a police
officer now. I met a police officer the other day.
A friend of my kid's dad is a police officer,

(01:47:00):
and he told me he was a cop and I
was like, I just I just said, you just played
a cop and he was like, oh, you're an actor.
Was yeah, And that's really fun that it's like good
crime solving mysteries. Each episode with a beautiful love story,
oh gorgeous, lots of batting scene.

Speaker 5 (01:47:21):
So looking forward to that. Right here comes the Christmas questions.
More GANA, what does summer.

Speaker 21 (01:47:26):
Look like for you?

Speaker 9 (01:47:28):
Listen, it's a backyard summer for me this year. I
really am focusing on that. We've got a dog in
twenty twenty five this year, and we love hur a bit,
and so I think we're slightly more homebound this summer.
But we got one of those above ground pools and
it's hits. So the tramps out, the pools up, and

(01:47:50):
I have flowers, some files growing. It's gonna be great.
A bit of a road trip here and there and
some camping.

Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
But yeah, that sounds epic. That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:47:59):
And what's on the menu on Christmas Day?

Speaker 9 (01:48:03):
I think then I have perspected for kutsure bread, so
I'm going to be shoving that down my family's throats.
And I was going to attempt to make a lemon
Cello terra missu. That's the Gulf.

Speaker 3 (01:48:17):
Yeah, lemon Cello's big at the moment, is it?

Speaker 5 (01:48:20):
I think it's going to be the next country you
heard it here first? Hey, this is a curly one
for you. What was the best present you ever gave
or received?

Speaker 24 (01:48:30):
Ah?

Speaker 9 (01:48:30):
This is such an interesting question because that funnily enough,
I feel like I remember the presence that I gave
the most, which I think is nice because it says
how much, you know, Christmas is about the giving. I
gave a personalized guest who board where I swapped out
all the pictures for people in their life.

Speaker 2 (01:48:52):
Nice.

Speaker 24 (01:48:52):
That's a good one, all.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
