I think most of New Zealand enjoy Lisa. Yeah, she's
the best of us. We've also got the New Zealander
of the Week and because it is our last week,
this is a biggie.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, this is a biggie. And there was a lot
of pressure on us to do the New Zealand of
the Year, the met Entile Afternoons New Zealand the Year.
We've only been here for two months. Yeah, so it
was a lot of pressure for us to don't do
the New Zealand Year.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
So it's just going to be thought it was a
bit cheap, So we've just stuck with the New Zealander
of the Weekend. Boy oh boy, you're going to be
excited about the winner, I tell you what.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Absolutely. We're also joined by Tim Southey to talk about
his retirement, which is I'm excited to have got that
get because he's been partying hard since since that last
Test match and the third Test match against England. Fantastic victory there. Yeah,
so for him to bother talking to us is huge.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
That is huge. Yeah. And because it is Friday, we
will have our last Topical Tunes of the Year as well,
where Matt and Nai each big a song and you
pick the winner first of three votes. Takes it out huge.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Are you going to go for a Christmas tune?

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yep, yep, I'm just going to put it out there
right now, Christmas all the way?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Are you in?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Well?

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Does it have to be?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Is a Christmas song versus Christmas song?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Then I reckon? Okay, let's do it all right, It's on, Okay, okay,
looking forward to that after three point thirty, after two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
So Sarah Pollack and The New Zealand Herald claims today
that Love Actually is two sexist to watch in twenty
twenty four, and we should watch the ripoff of Love Actually.
That came out a couple of years later, a couple
of years after Love Actually, the holiday instead, and everyone knows,
and the holiday was widely criticized for being even though

(03:43):
I quite enjoy it, not as much as Love Actually,
but I could enjoy the holiday, it was widely criticized
as just being a cash and really on Love Actually.
So and this is part of it. She's not the
first one on this. She's just jumping on the bandwagon
of a wider movement to cancel the beloved Christmas classic
Love Actually, because it has a few bits that don't

(04:03):
fit into the approved viewpoint of twenty twenty four, which
I think is absolutely ridiculous. For a start, it's not
saying that all of it is good. It's a movie.
Movies have bad people, good people, good actions, bad actions.
That's what makes an interesting movie.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
If you remove all that, then you have a very
very boring movie. So a lot of the criticisms about
Love Actually are just criticizing the story.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Humanity is flawed, and that's what we love about movies,
you know, as we mentioned off here, pulp Fiction, The Godfather,
I mean, any Tarantino film. You can imagine. They are
lauded films, but they are not good people in those films.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
The idea that everyone and everyone should be a good
person and everyone should behave well in a film in
light with what your current beliefs are is a pretty
crazy opinion to take. And look, if you've got the
option to watch Love Actually or or The Holiday, then
I say, watched Love Actually. It's a lot better movie.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, when you come for Love Actually, we've lost the plot.
That is after two o'clock is right now we want
to talk about Lane Wet. So the much anticipated Laneway
Festival next year has had to backpedal on its decision
to host sixteen and seventeen year olds after a licensing
decision ruled the event must be raighteen. So organizers released
a statement today sharing the disappointing news. They said, despite

(05:23):
the safe and successful inclusion of the sixteen plus patrons
at Laneway earlier this year, the Auckland District Licensing Committee
has rejected our application to allow sixteen and seventeen year
olds at next year's events. They went on to say
they work closely with police, the Licensing inspectors and the
Medical Officer of Health in good faith throughout that application

(05:43):
process and did not anticipate this disappointing outcome.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
The bit that annoys me about this, there's a number
of things that annoyed me about it, but the Auckland
District Licensee Committee saying they noted security and the occurrence
of preloading as two of the problems, and that seems
incredibly unfair to me, especially since year it was very

(06:09):
successful and there weren't the problems that that they're saying,
So they've proven that there weren't going to be these problems.
But the idea that if you put on a gig
a festival, you're responsible for people's behavior outside the pre
behavior before they come to the gig, Yeah, that's a
very very high bar for anyone one to pass, and

(06:30):
in our view, as the committee said, the event must
remain R rating this year. If the applicant manage is
intoxication well and the agency's post event reports are positive,
this should pave the way for an R sixteen event
being un opposed by the agencies next year. That is dystopian. Yeah,
so basically, even though in the past you have been

(06:50):
successful doing it, you have to prove again.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's crazy, isn't it. And just to your first point
that the preloading, how far do you take that? Because
people preload when they go to a rugby game. Some
people preload when they go to the theater or a concert.
That is what people do when they go out. Sometimes
they have a bit too much and they go into
these evv But at no point are they shutting them
down and said, hey, you can't bring your kids to
the theater, you can't bring your kids to the footy.

(07:14):
It's just nonsense because it's a music festival. Somehow these
guys are more irresponsible than other event holders.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oh yeah, and any sporting event there's some people drinking
and some people not drinking. I mean, that's just that's
been the way forever. It just feels like if they
have an opportunity to have a say on something so
it hasn't been sort of grandfathered in or whatever, then
they shut the fun down. And so they've already sold
these tickets to this thing, and I bought one for

(07:40):
my son, Yeah, and I bought for his birthday, and
now one of them that can't be used. And that's also,
you know, the idea that we have. We're trying to
do these things. We're trying to do these fun things
in our cities, and we're trying to have events going,
and we know how important it is for people to
get together in these isolated times. And then you have
these these people that just look at it through a

(08:01):
very very narrow lens, the Auckland District Licensing Committee, and
then they shut that down. So you could have had
these amazing experiences. We're sixteen and seventeen year round rolds
have this great experience where they got to see bands
and they were inspired by this situation, and that has
shut down, And particularly when you consider that every stat
says that young people are drinking less than they ever have.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, And I just would think as a parent of
your sixteen years or seventeen year old is going to
this event, and if they are drinking less, but if
they are going to preload, they're going to do it,
whether they're going to get a lame way or not. Anyway,
you want them at an event where there is security,
there is drug testing, there is ambulance stuff and other
medical stuff. That is the safest place for those kids
to be, not you know, in the street or some

(08:45):
random park, which they may be now that they can't
get the lame way.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, it just feels like a very footloose, the movie
type approach where you treat your children the young people
like criminals before they've done anything wrong. Yeah, and it's
also just kept completely out of step with how we
run the rest of our society. So anyway, I personally
think it's a bad decision, But I'm sure there's peace

(09:08):
that are going to ring weight one hundred and eighty
ten eighty and text through on ninety two nine two
ninety two and say kids should be nowhere near alcohol,
and the events a bad thing and there should be
no drinking and various other unfun things.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Well, we'd love to hear from you. Oh wait, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty if your appearance, whose child
was going to go to this event in Mark sixteen
or seventeen? How do you feel if you are one
of those sixteen and seventeen year olds listening? Love to
hear from you as well. But are these licensing committees
just going too far? This isn't the first event that
they've shut down for pretty spurious reasons, So love to
hear from you. Are they just going too far and

(09:45):
too much over?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Are they bad people? Drunk on the power? Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Nine two ninety two is the text number. It is
a quarter pass one.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and
everything in between. Matt and Taylor afternoons with the Volvo
XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to comfort
news talks.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
They'd be.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Seventeen past one.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
So we're talking about the Auckland District's licenses committee rejection
of an application to allow sixteen and seventeen year olds
into the twenty twenty five lane way event, citing security
and the occurrence of preloading, which I think is ridiculous. Now,
this texture has misunderstood the thing entirely on nineteen nine two.
Come on, under etings shouldn't be drinking good cool, They're

(10:31):
not allowed to drink in there. They're not allowing sixteen
and seventeen year olds to drink in there. They're just
being in there. It's very very it's very very restricted.
Even the drinking and lane ways incredibly as restricted like that.
They make sure there's very few outlets to buy the alcohol.
You've got to be ristbanded. There's so many different ways

(10:53):
that they restrict the drinking in there already, and so
the sixteen and seven year olds just can't drink in there.
So you're just really saying that sixteen and seventeen year
olds can't be at a concert around people that are drinking,
despite the fact that people have been doing that forever.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, and again, if they are preloading, and that's really
out out the side of control of lame weight, But
if they are, that is the safest place for them
to be. It's got the security, medical staff, everything else,
the drug these thing. For goodness sake, to say that
because of pre lighting that is outside the event's control,
that somehow it's going to be unsafe for them to
be there.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
It's crazy. You can't put on an event and just
in case someone does some vandalism like within the five
kilmea area.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Dave, how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Good eh guys. What's happening?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Just a bit of the final Christmas extravaganza of the
Matt and Tyler afternoons on new stalk ZB.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
How are you sounding good?

Speaker 7 (11:44):
You guys?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Oh you're a good man.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Thanks Dave.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
How are you're welcome? No, Look I've got as the
father of seven year old daughter, I must you know,
look that the kids are going to go anyway. The
fake idea industry is as thriving as we speak. I mean,
you know there are so your mosle it can go,
you know, I'm I attitude this really good controls inside

(12:09):
the v We've got a lot together. Its coming up
shortly in christs I know for a fact there's a
lot of underage girls where fake ideas going to go
to that as well. It's just the way it is,
that's so control it. If they pre loading, you know,
they should be vetted at the gate. You can't come
and if you're drunk, that's you know, that's fair. You
don't want you know, and talk to how the girls

(12:31):
young girls there, But I think control it. Have guys
that know women and men who know how to, you know,
pick out the dodgy people and let them enjoy themselves,
have a great time.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Hey, Dave, I'm not across the fake ID situation. Back
when I was at school, the game was pretty low
someone I knew how to laminade it, but IDs were
pretty low level back then. How good are the fake
id's now? Can they do it? Can they do a
driver's license? That's that's belie.

Speaker 6 (13:00):
Can they do a driver's.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (13:04):
You want to day?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
It was way harder back in the day, isn't it.
If you had an older mate who kind of looked
like you, you'd give it a crack. But very really worked.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I reckon it was easier back in the day.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
It was easier.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
You can order them online then right order them online
and you'll get in New Zealand drivers like wow, oh
yeah mate, it'll looks smiky. Wow, you know, won't get
your You know that it'll be if if a police
officer stands it, you know you busted.

Speaker 4 (13:38):
Yeah, it won't hitful of the jet stuff.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
On it, But you're just rocking up to a pub
far a concept. You're you're good to go, man, and
it's not just drivers, it is other things. Do you
just you can order what you want?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, just quickly back to your seventeen year old boys.
So you'd accept Dave and and granted a lot of
young people are drinking less than we did when we
were at that age, but you'd accept he's seventeen. If
he's going to get hold of alcohol, he's going to drink,
and what you'd prefer him to be at a place
where there's at least security and medical officers around if
things go wrong.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Oh mate, you know. Look, I was at Beydreams not
long we'll go and nice like I was watching the
theater going like you would not believe it. It was
all sixteen, seventeen eighty year old kids. I'm a realist.
We've got to live in the real world. And I
don't have a problem. It's actually a daughter, my daughter
at seventeen.

Speaker 9 (14:30):
Right, and I know it's okay.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
I just don't think we need to be that pedantic
about you know, show a bit of trust. You have
the good conversations with your kids before they go out,
and you know, and let them enjoy life, mate, it's
too short. It's life too short man.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, you're a good dad.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Dave thinks, so called Dave. So the just this is
the article of just found using fake fake IDs. So
police and have an uptake in fraudulent IDs. So the
maximum penalty for using a fake IDA is two thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
So I thought, for a seventeen year old.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I thought, I mean, I might be wrong here. This
doesn't specifically say driver's licenses, but I imagine I would
imagine that if you were rocking around with a fake
driver's license, that it would be quite a quite a
massive crime. More than two thousand.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Dollars starting point would be jailed. I'll do some more investigation. Oh,
on one hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is twenty three past one. Back in a month
news talks. There'd be just a reminder. We've got two
copies of a Lifelifts Punishing thirty Ways to Love the
Life You've Got by Matt Heath to give away at
the end of this hour. It is genuinely a really
great book. It's available in all good bookstores and it

(15:42):
would make a fantastic Christmas gift. For your kids or
anybody else in your life.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I agree, Tyler. I'm just looking this whole world of
fake driver's licenses. I didn't I think it was even possible.
But of course technology is just advancing at such a
rate that people can print basically anything.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
But another thing apparently people do around faking driver licenses
is just to change the number on it and then
read reseal it instead of creating the whole thing. But
once again, that's also not a music festival's problem. No,
you know, they can only check the IDs to the
best of their addibility, and if it just so happens
that there is a new and amazing license technology or

(16:24):
you know, ID faking technology, then that's up to the
government to make better, harder to fake licenses. But either
way that the I mean, that's been going on for
all of time.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, every generation has tried to change the old
licenses to get into the pub Israe. How are you
this afternoon?

Speaker 10 (16:45):
Very good mate.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Now, Lane Way, what do you reckon about this turnaround
that they've had to do after the Licensing committee says
that irresponsible?

Speaker 10 (16:54):
I thought it was pretty ridiculous. Just reminded me of
the Rugby, you know, like if there's obviously pre loading
them as because it seems exactly the same situation. But
I really agree with what you said about it being
quite elating, you know, not having these events, because I
went to UNI at sixteen and sixteen and seventeen year
olds can't go to anything, and I was till thirty

(17:17):
year of it I turned eighteen, So first three years
of oer week missed out. I mean as well as
you know, UNI students who moved to a new city,
you know and live in the halls and then their
first week, first few weeks, you know, can't go to
any events because a lot of them are seventeen, like
turn eighteen in March or April. Yeah, so I thought

(17:37):
I saw a clad portsision and we're owing to university.
They just started allowing seventeen and sixteen year olds once
I turned eighteen, unfortunately, but it's happening down in Canterbury.
So yeah, I thought it was good progress to say.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
So you think that you, if you know, go along
and you know that the drinking ages is eighteen, but
there should be an allowance to go along and not drink,
just so you can see the bands and you can
be with a bunch of other people.

Speaker 11 (18:03):
Of course.

Speaker 10 (18:03):
And I mean even if you are eighteen, you don't
have to drink fever.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well that's the thing. That's the thing now with this
this decision by the Auckland District Licensing Committee, I feel
like they're behaving like kids are like they were when
I was that age. I mean terrible, terrible baby.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
But you know how old are you? E isra if
you don't mind me asking, twenty three now twenty three now,
because in my experience and like the stats suggest that
kids are drinking, you know, young people are drinking less
than then they ever have in this country. That is
that that true? Around your friends? Isra.

Speaker 10 (18:39):
Yeah, Well I didn't drink to lars eighteen, But I
mean I'm Christian, so it's less so of an issue
kind of my circles more just generally more conservatives. But
I mean you can drink the whole ateen with you know,
we're from your parents. It's not a law about yeah,
And I mean people talking about exposure to alcohol when

(19:01):
you're younger you from your parents is really helpful. So
I think, yeah, safe controlled exposures is the way to go,
you know, dot to become the whole forbidden FROs and
then your turn eighteen and you know.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah yeah, and Kane co too crazy. But is there
part of this says right, well, this is my reading
of it, right, is it Lanewave Festival And there might
be some archaic thinking by those on the licensing committee
that because it's some sort of young music festival that
young people are going to have farm or alcohol or
sneak it in, or there's going to be unruny behavior,
which just isn't the case. It's just another event. And

(19:36):
to see Lamewave Festival any differently than a rugby match
for example, or you know, even going to a theater,
to me just seems like old school thinking by the
licensing committee.

Speaker 12 (19:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (19:48):
Well, from my decig that does seem like liquor licensing
committees and all that are known for archaic thinking. You know,
you always see it the news about you.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Know, it's kind of like it's weighted because if you
look for harm and you search for problems, then you'll
find them. But it never seems to be And I
think our society is more and more looking for these
potential problems rather than looking at the whole approach of it.
And the good that has achieved by people in their

(20:22):
life experiencing things like Laneway and festivals that they'll remember
for the rest of their life if they're sixteen or seventeen.
They can't drink in there anyway, and much harder to
drink in there than it is outside. But you cut
this off, so you're thinking about it. Oh, potentially they
could be preloading beforehand. Maybe they could be preloading before anything,
but probably preloading before radio shows. I mean sometimes Tyler

(20:43):
comes in here and his eyes are going in all directions.
I has he been preloading before it comes here. But
you've got to look at the good of the community
and these events and people putting these things on and
people coming together, and the positivity of the whole situation.
Just the sort of scroogey footloose approach two young people.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
The footloose approach. Yeah. I don't know if you've seen
that movie, Ezra, but that's what it feels like. Yeah,
the Angry Year who sees no more dancing in town,
That's what it feels like.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
That is a good movie.

Speaker 10 (21:15):
Though it inspired me to try and learn dancing, unsuccessful
so far.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, you're a good man, is Ra Merry Christmas to
you and thanks for having a chat with us. All right, mate?
Go well, oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the
number to call. How do you feel about the Auckland
Licensing Committee saying to Laneway sorry that you can't have
sixteen and seventeen year olds at their event next year anymore.
They had a very successful event this year where they

(21:41):
allowed those sixteen and seventeen year olds in. There was
no unruly behavior, but unfortunately the committee has said it's
too much of a risk. How do you feel about that?
If you're a parent who has a child going to
Laneway Festival, love to hear from you on oh, eight
hundred eighty ten eighty it is twenty nine to two.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
You've talk. They're the headlines.

Speaker 13 (22:04):
With blue bubble tax.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
It's no trouble with a blue bubble.

Speaker 13 (22:08):
The Defense Minister says it's all go for New Zealand
personnel aiding quake struck Vanawati. More than twenty two tons
of aid has been delivered and NZDF planes have evacuated
eighty one New Zeenanders and twelve foreign nationals overnight. The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs still hasn't given Fiji the all clear.
Despite the country's assurances tourists drinks weren't spiked. M FACT

(22:32):
says it's travel warning advising kiwis to be aware of
drinks spiking and methanol poisoning risks is still under review.
Auckland's Laneway Festival won't be allowing under eighteen's next year,
and a statement organizers say despite previous inclusion of those
sixteen plus this year, the Auckland District Licensing Committee has
rejected their application to allow them at next year events.

(22:57):
Mass the University has crowned Hello Darling the quote of
the year. The greeting from Pepper the cockertoo was how
police confirmed she was the bird's stolen from Upper hut
Staglands Wildlife last month. Finance Minister Nikola Willis has a
choice to make prevent calamity or contribute to it. See
Matthew Houghton's full column. That hand said Herald Premium. Now

(23:19):
back to Matt Heath and Tyner Adams.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Thank you very much, Raylean. We're talking about the Lame
Wave Festival, the much anticipated festival next year. It's had
to backpedal on its decision to host sixteen and seventeen
year olds after a licensing decision ruled the event must
be raighteen. So the committee decision noted concerns about security
and the occurrence of preloading. Is that just over each oe,
eighte hundred and eighteen eighty is the number to call.

(23:42):
Get a Glenn, How are you boys? Very good? Merry
Christmas to you before we crack into this one.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
Yeah, Merry Christmas to you too. I mean, obviously, you know,
I think it's a little bit of a case of
overreach from the licensing authority. How far do they want
to go? They're going to cancel all cricket tests because
people might be drinking beforehand, they might preload, and then
you know, they might invade the the beer garden and

(24:10):
that would put a mat at risks and you know,
what are they going to do about What are they
going to do about the rugby or we won't have
rugby games anymore because we just can't. We can't trust
people that won't go to have a few drinks beforehand.
It's just nuts. It's just that the you know people,
it's an example of people wanting everybody else to think

(24:32):
like them, and the punishment will continue until you do.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, I mean when I was growing up, going along
to Carrisbrook to watch Odia Eyes and cricket, and you know,
right up to before I could drink was an eye opener.
I'd walk around and be amazing, You'd see some stuff.
It was incredibly good time. But I didn't drink, and
it wasn't a big problem. I didn't drink because I
couldn't go up and buy the alcohol exactly. But the
idea that you would have stopped kids from going along

(24:57):
to the cricket because some of them might preload beforehand.
But it's just it's just he's so right, Glenn. It's
a massive overreach.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
It's it's just nuts. And I mean there's a contradiction
in terms of what you just said, actually, Matt, because
you said when I was growing up, I would argue,
you haven't it.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, I'm still in the process still, it's stilled around fifteen.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
But you know the reality is as a country, we've
allowed these these bureaucrats to take control and put rules
in place, and it's just nuts.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
But again, Glenny, going back to your point, and it
seems that for these licensing and speaks sport events all
good and absolutely they're good. We love sport events, but
lame way festival music festivals, even though it's kind of
a similar situation that it's good for the community and
it's good for kids to get out there and socialize
and go to these music festivals. But for some reason

(25:56):
they look at these festivals and say, well, no, that's
that's not good. That's different, And I just can't see
the rationale there.

Speaker 9 (26:02):
There should be no difference at the end of the day,
it's an event that doesn't matter what the event. There
is a chance and a risk of preloading before every event.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Yeah, nicely, see Glenn, Yeah, carry on, So.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
Why make a distinction.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
It's just nuts, And especially when you go in there.
Anyone that's been to Laneway and I've been a number
of times, the restrictions they are saying before on actual
sales to alcohol to people that are over eighteen are
pretty draconian to start with, let alone people under eighteen.
And sure people can say, oh, they'll get fake IDs,
but that's always been a problem. You can't, you can't.
That's a totally different issue. If people want to get

(26:40):
fake IDs, then they're committing a different crime altogether, and
that SIT's outside of the remit of Laneway. All they
can do is do their best to check the IDs
when they come.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
In, and we don't close the wheel down because people
might break the law. For God's sake.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, just nuts. Glin, you're a good man. Thank you
very much for giving us a buzz.

Speaker 14 (26:59):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Now you are sixteen, is that right?

Speaker 15 (27:03):
Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
Oh, thank you very much for giving us a buzz.
So were you one of the sixteen year olds that
originally you had a ticket to the Laneway Festival next year?

Speaker 15 (27:11):
Well, no, I don't necessarily have time with a summer
for festivals and all that. I'm kind of jam packed
or training. But we do the rationality and the decisions
because you know, I get that some eighteen year olds
and older people don't really want sixteen year olds just
annoying them.

Speaker 16 (27:24):
All the time.

Speaker 15 (27:24):
But I mean they most only won't know just stix
of the groups, and you know, it's just it's kind
of the situation. I mean, you know, I go to
parties and whatnot, and it's this you know, my parents
like old there was a flight at that party of
one time, and I'm like, well yeah I was. I
was at by ten, you know, So I feel like
it's better for kids that are just kind of learn
that stuff. Now then we're about older, because you know,

(27:45):
when you're older, you and you have all the access
to it. I feel nowadays you're kind of restricted to
pretty much nothing. You're only in sixteen seventeen. You can't
buy a county you're eighteen, you know.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah, And do you do you find in your group
of friends at sixteen? It sounds like you train a lot,
but so maybe you're not in the big drinking circles.
But do you find that that sixteen year olds are
drinking a lot these days?

Speaker 7 (28:08):
Well?

Speaker 15 (28:09):
Yeah, I mean it's just a good way to hang
out with mates. You don't even necessarily have to have
alcohol that fun, but you know, it's just a bit
of a plus. You know, I don't really necessarily hang
out with the people I trained with too much. Most
of my mates are older, you know, eighteen nineteen ash.
But I mean, yeah, I go with tots hours for
a couple of drinks, just have a laugh and then
you know, go home safe, safe in town at the

(28:30):
end of the night. But I feel like, you know,
kids ours do drink and it's not it's not that
oh we had we're all, we're eighteen to our first round.
Everyone's everyone's definitely drunk before they're eighteen. And this is
the fact, you know.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well, yeah, I mean I certainly.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Was exactly Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
But but but would you, Matt, would you you know,
even though you're sixteen, you've had a few drinks around
at friends' houses and such, would you be able to
have a good time at a concert without alcohol?

Speaker 15 (29:00):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Yeah, I had.

Speaker 15 (29:02):
I've had many good times before completely sober concerts and
all that. I can't plan on doing that in the future,
you know. So I'm still young and probably the most
responsible thing to do with it. I'm sure other people
my age will probably disagree, you know, go under the
influence and all that. I mean, you can have fun sober,
as was probably better to experience of that. Experienced it sober,
because you know, you can remember it more clearly.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
Hey, do you know do you know about the world
of fake IDs? Is that that a big thing in
your world?

Speaker 15 (29:29):
Yes, it's quite a big thing. Though you have people
on the stories. I think you make me a fake idea.
I do this when I do that, I mean most
of the time I've heard from my mates who are
eighteen order they're going to clubs with people who try
to get fake id's to look once and then I
know you can care to you, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
This is good, but can you get a fake idea?
Because I was I was amazed before someone is saying
that you can get a fake ID that you can't
tell the difference between it and a official driver's license.
Have you seen anything like that or do you want one?
I don't.

Speaker 15 (30:05):
I mean, it's just to really easy not It's like, oh,
I know this person for this person, that was this person.
Oh guy, it's kind of connections and all that sort
of stuff. I'm not one hundred percent sure on how
that all works.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Just lastly, Matt, what are you training for?

Speaker 2 (30:20):
I'm a rower mate? Who do you row for?

Speaker 15 (30:24):
Hamilton Boys High School?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
Oh?

Speaker 15 (30:27):
Listening right now?

Speaker 17 (30:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (30:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
And are you four man eight man.

Speaker 15 (30:31):
Bowman at the moment? So I'm in the top boasts
at the moment I've been. You know, we're doing our
own personal training, so ranting patters today?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Oh well, good on. You know, rowing is about the
best sport you can get into in terms of good
behavior at school. That's sure, because you're so tired from
getting up early In fact, the principal once said to me,
you never see a rower in the principal's office. Yeah,
because they're too tired and the amount of discipline involved
keeps you in line.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Apart from Mardi Gras, then it all kicks off. Mardy
g Mardy Grad Marty Cup. Yeah, Mardy Gras. It's almost
like Mardy Graw down there.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
So I heard, Really, my son's my son's been to
the last five of those and it seems well behaved
situation to me.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Matt, thank you very much for giving us a buzz mate.

Speaker 15 (31:15):
Yes, no problem, have a good one.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yes, Merry Christmas chairs.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, Hamilton Boys does very well at rowing, although there
has been some controversies lately, but anyway, we're not going
to go into that. That's a whole other topic.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. We are we may pick this back up
after two o'clock because coming up very shortly. Speaking of
Great New Zealanders, we're going to catch up with Tim Souby.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, of course, he retired, started playing cricket for the
black Caps, debuted when he's nineteen, and retired just last
week at thirty six. Hang a minute just this week
at thirty six.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yep, that's coming up very shortly. It is sixteen to two.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Mattie Tyler Adams with you as your afternoon rolls on.
Matt ethn Tyler Adams Afternoon Us Talk said.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Be he debuted for the black Caps when he was nineteen.
He just retired at thirty six. He's been a huge
part of our most golden era of cricket. He was
a huge part of the twenty fifteen World Cup, what
a great time. And that was a massive part of
the twenty twenty one World Test Championship victory against India.
He's played three hundred and ninety four games for New
Zealand across the three formats, taking seven hundred and seventy

(32:19):
six wickets in total, as well as heading the fourth
moost sixers ever in Test cricket despite being a bowler.
It's out great pleasure to welcome to the show the
great New Zealand fast ball of Tim Southy.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
Get a. How is retirement treating you?

Speaker 16 (32:33):
Yeah, it's been a couple of days so far and
yeah it's been good. Had a good night the other
night after the Test match and then they had a
good day yesterday and now just back to their duties
of the kids.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
So it was a good old fashioned celebration at the
grounds type situation.

Speaker 16 (32:50):
Yeah, it was a great a great Test win. And
those of the moments you're cherish of sitting around in
the changing room, sonya Whites and those are the things
that I missed. So yeah, no, it was a good night.
We stayed there for as as long as you could,
and then then they we had a good days today
in the sun as well.

Speaker 15 (33:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Beautiful. Now, mate, there have been so many highlight in
your career it must be hard to separate them all out.
But what sticks out for you now looking back, I
think it's.

Speaker 16 (33:15):
Hard to get past the Test Championship winning that. Yeah,
so that was a pretty special run, that whole two
year period. And then to manage to go on and
when the when the World Test Championship was pretty special,
any test when the special memory, the friends you make
along the way, just yeah, just there's this. There's a

(33:36):
lot of a lot of highlights to look back on
and and take with me into the in the future.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Well, I got to tell you you winning the Test
Championship in twenty twenty to one was one of the
highlights of my life and I wasn't even there, so
I can imagine what it was it was like for
you and talking about you know, highlights for me and
cricket and obviously you being a massive part of it.
The twenty fifteen Cricket World Cup, when the being in
the middle of that, when the entire country was obsessed

(34:01):
with cricket like it had never been before that, it
must have been quite something.

Speaker 16 (34:04):
Yeah, I certainly highlight Yeah, the whole twenty and fifteen
World Cup where obviously been playing in New Zealand, but
seeing the crowds and I think the way we played
through that tournament was was pretty special. And that'll be
a moment in my career that I'll sit in the
Cherish River as well. It was just a special time
to be a part of part of cricket and part
of cricket here in Zealan.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, and it set up cricket for a long time.
And and you were did you guys realize that you
were part of a goal golden era, because you know,
we're looking at the time that you've been in and
you know, across a lot of a lot of your career.
Was was any realization that this was a really special
time to be playing cricket in New Zealand, A special
group of group, group of guys.

Speaker 16 (34:45):
Yeah, it was always special, the whole the whole journey.
But I guess when you have that group of players
that we had and the special time we won, some
we want, some things we came close and some other things.
But but yeah, it's just a great group of very
goop good guys to play with, just some serious talent
and just good people. So I think, yeah, that was
a real real highlight being able to play alongside some

(35:05):
of the greats of our game.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Yeah, I love it. How did you feel about the
camel that the a c C delivered to Seddon Park
to celebrate you in your final test?

Speaker 16 (35:14):
Yeah, there's another things obviously at Siddon Park, but but
you're the camel. Got plenty of got plenty of, got
plenty attention over there over a few days, so that
was good. I was just disappointed that it hasn't ended
up back at back in the backyard.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, well, ge Lane told me that that your that
your camel, that that that you you you you didn't
think much of the the you thought the camels wasn't
handsome enough. Is that correct?

Speaker 16 (35:38):
Yeah, I understand that camels aren't easy to track down,
so I appreciate that they went to get one, but
but yeah, I was hoping for a slightly better looking one.
But I think they're just had to add to the
whole whole thing.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
It's certainly got a lot of coverage. So what what's
what's you know? Cracket has obviously been huge, but it's
been been the biggest part of your life for one
of the biggest parts of your life for most of
your life. You joined the team very very young. Is
it going to be a part of your life going forward?
Would you'd be an amazing bowling coach?

Speaker 16 (36:08):
Yeah, A few people have sort of mentioned that and
sort of asked what I'm going to do, But hopefully
play for another couple of years around there's obviously a
number of teaching the leagues around the world, So hopefully
play a couple of loads and enjoy that for a change. Obviously,
having seventeen years and the international game, it's been an
absolute privilege and honor, and I think just to enjoy
a couple of years of the tea twenty stuff and

(36:28):
we'll see what happens. But yeah, Cricket's been been a
massive part of my life. It's been everything and everything
I've ever wanted to do and anything I know so far.
So hope to give back to the game in some way.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Yeah. In terms of advice that you've had over your
career time, is there one piece of advice that has
served you well that has stood out?

Speaker 16 (36:45):
I guess just I guess try and stay in that
middle ground. Obviously, there's a lot of emotions, a lot
of highs and lowers that come with doing what we've
been what we've been doing and have been trying sort of,
I guess keep those in check and not ride the
ups and downs is as much as you can then
I think holding good stead Specially you play for a
long period of time, you go through a number of

(37:08):
high a number of lows, and if you can sort
of I guess, find a heavy medium and just just
crack on with it and enjoy it. That was a
way that I tried to do it.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Anyway, And Tim, what does Christmas look like for you
this year?

Speaker 5 (37:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (37:20):
It be interesting first one for for a long time
that you can actually just park up and not worry
about about training or having to go and play hey cricket.
So I think it'll just be a nice chustomer home
with a family, so that'll be a nice change.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Well, Tim Saldi, thank you so much for all the
joy you've bought New Zealanders over the years. It's been
an absolute pleasure watching you play. You've been a large
part of this golden era of cricket we've all been
lucky enough to live through, and you've always been a fun, funny,
friendly dude to chat to in media and personally as well.
And look, we'll always have that night we spent together
in Bangalore and want to apologize for g Lane's behavior
that night. But mate, you really are a great New Zealander.

(37:56):
Enjoy your retirement, enjoy the cricket that you've got to play,
and looking forward to following whatever you do next. So
loved your bowling also I loved a lot of your
batting as well. You're a sixy camel. Merry Christmas, mate,
and thank you so much for everything.

Speaker 16 (38:09):

Speaker 3 (38:23):
NEWSTALGSB, NEWSTALKSB. It is five to two.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
So we've talking. We've been talking about the Auckland District
Licensing Committee shutting down the sixteen and seventeen year olds
getting into lane Way even though they couldn't drink in
there on they were worried about preloading before they went
in there. There hasn't been there's been virtually no support
for them, like hundreds and hundreds of texts and dozens
of phone calls all saying how how absolutely short sighted

(38:50):
and small minded this is overreach high people. Hi people
are forgetting about why the Rugby sevens and Wellington are
no longer around. That's the thing. They put these restrictions
on things and then they disappear, and then they wonder
why if ifes, isn't this just like banning underage kids
from attending any sporting event exactly, just go on and
on like that. So bad people, your bad people, the

(39:11):
Auckland District Licensing Committee. Bad people get it to get breaches. Yeah,
but that has been a good chat. After two o'clock
we are going to be talking about love. Actually, a
lot of people are.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Coming for it. Of all movies Christmas movies, coming for Love,
actually for being sexist.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah that's right. Sarah Pollock and The New Zealand here
today claimed that you shouldn't watch Love actually it's too
sexy and you should watch the Holiday instead.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Yeah. Oh eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty. We're

to get for free a lifely is punishing birting ways
to love the life. You've got very good book that
Matt has written, and it has gone gang buses available
in good bookstores.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Yeah, and speaking of good bookstores, so we're giving away
two copies later on. But I went into time Out
bookstores today, time Out. But if you live in Auckland,
Timeouts a great bookstore. Went in there and they got
me to sign a bunch of copies. So if you
wanted a sign copy and you're an Auckland time Out
book store, it's a good place.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
To get it.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yeah, get and I reckon, they'll all be already be gone.
Very popular, very popular.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Yeah no, they had a big pile.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Very good. Right, But now let's have a chat about Love. Actually,
very popular Christmas movie, but it is getting a bit
of hate over the last couple of months.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
It's become very fashionable to rag on Love. Actually, I'm
just gonna I'm just gonna say it right now. There's
cringey moments in it, and there's parts of it that
I don't rate, but overall, I love the movie. I
enjoy it, you know, I struggle a little bit with
Kiera Knightley nightly going I look pretty, You're a little
bit close and look Sarah Pollock and the New Zealand

(41:51):
Hero Today claims that Love Actually is too sexist to
watch in twenty twenty four and we should watch The
Holiday instead. That Holiday is a movie that came out
a couple of years after Love Actually, and it is
widely considered a bit of a rip off of Love Actually,
But that's by the bye, And this is part of
a why have the wider movement to rag on the
beloved Christmas classic Love Actually? Some people calling for it

(42:12):
to not be played on mainstream broadcasts.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Which is crazy. I mean, of all things to come
after Love Actually, would be the most stupidest thing to
try and cancel to me. I mean, it's Richard Curtis,
for goodness sake, I know, you know, for writer of Blackadder,
and he's one some very famous movies and being very successful.
But yes, there are some flawed individuals in the movie.
But that is the point of movies, right is it

(42:37):
mirrors humanity? We af flawed people as humans, and sometimes
there are villains and movies.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yeah, you know, that's the whole point of it. That's
so stupid. So people list things that people do wrong
in the movie, like that's a reason to rule out
a movie and the idea that you can do a
movie called Love. Actually, it's a Christmas movie and everyone
should behave perfectly in it. There is dodgy people in it.
There's dodgy people in real words. There's people having fantastic,

(43:02):
beautiful relationships. There's dodgy parts of it. I mean that
was the idea of the movie, wasn't to show love
and all it's parts. I mean it starts with whenever
I get gloomy with the state of the world, I
think about their arrivals gated Heathrow Airport. I can't that's good.
I can't do a good hue. I can't do a
good hue. But you know, I mean the overall mess

(43:23):
message of it is pretty beautiful, isn't it It is?

Speaker 3 (43:25):
Yeah, that's why we love watching it on Christmas Day?

Speaker 2 (43:27):
But so should it be band burnt? And as who's
this person that wrote the article? Sophie is Sophie Pollock?

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Right?

Speaker 2 (43:35):
It's two sexist for twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Yeah, I love to hear from you on this one.
O eight one hundred eighty ten eighty nine two ninety
two is the text number.

Speaker 18 (43:44):
It is ten past two, your new home of afternoon
Talk Matt and Taylor Afternoon with the Volvo XC ninety
Turn every journey into something special.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Call eight hundred eighty ten eighty News TALKB.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
News Talks There B. It's thirteen past two. We're talking
about the Well some people trying to cancel Love Actually
for goodness sake.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah, some people say that's too problematic for twenty twenty four.
I mean, it's definitely a movie that has its problems.
Like I really enjoy it, but it's a movie that
I have. It's probably the movie with the most cringey
and and bits that I don't like of a movie
when I love the whole movie. Yes, I mean Colin,
the whole story of Colin going to America. That just

(44:30):
that so much, way too cartoony for the rest of
the movie. That's by the bitte.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Yeah, just a couple of things that some people have
pointed out, and this will upset people, But one of
the issues people had with it was the Prime Minister
and his tea lady Natalie, which was Hugh Grant and
Martine mccuncheon. But here's the problem. Love actually is one
hundred percent of middle class white man's narrative. So no
guessing who the hero is here. It's our handsome Q

(44:54):
who falls for his lovely tea lady Natalie, despite her
being from the wrong side of the tracks and being
in quotation marks plumpy.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
What she's a that's a ridiculous part of the movie,
the calling of plump because she's not. Natalie's absolut wonderful
and perfect. But what's wrong with that? Also, he stands
up to so what they're saying because he's middle class
white guy, Well I think he's actually upper class for
a start. But also he stands up to the creepy
president of the United States of America because he's mean

(45:23):
to Natalie, and he basically undoes the relationship between two
powers to protect the honor of Natalie. Ready, it's actually
beautiful of Dave.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
I agree with that. Ready for another one. This has
gone up to even further, so Ready for another posh
man to sweep a humble woman off her feet. Great
after his close girlfriend cheets on, I'm writer, Jamie, You'll
know he's a writer because he wears cord blazers and
has a typewriter, falls for a cleaner, sorry housekeeper, despite
the fact that he speaks not one word of Portuguese
and speaks and she speaks no English.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Well, she falls in love with him as well. And
also so whether they've got against wealthy people exactly? And
that was that's a beautiful story. What about when they
jump into the water to save all the sheets of
the You know, you could say if he was if
he was a bad posh personally, he'd get angry when
she causes entire one copy of his manuscript going into
the into that little pond and they have to jump

(46:15):
in together. That's a beautiful story.

Speaker 3 (46:18):
How do you think the world's gone crazy?

Speaker 6 (46:19):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Eight hundred and eighty ten.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I want to hear a bad word about Colin third
the six number?

Speaker 3 (46:25):
How you Dallas?

Speaker 17 (46:27):
Oh there's nothing sacred? Yes?

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Oh yeah, no.

Speaker 17 (46:34):
I want to say, first of all, Merry Christmas, guys.
That's you're allowed to say Merry Christmas these days.

Speaker 3 (46:40):
Sure, yeah, you are in this studio, mate, Mary Christmasy
allis yeah.

Speaker 16 (46:46):
Same to you, guys.

Speaker 17 (46:46):
I can't believe you've only been on here for like
two three months. It feels like forever.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Yeah, I feel that every now and then, but it
loving it, and yeah it does. It does feel like
it's been going for it for a long time, but
very much enjoying it. Dallas, that's good.

Speaker 17 (47:05):
You're doing a great job.

Speaker 16 (47:06):
Guys.

Speaker 17 (47:06):
Nice people need to people of Lot's the ability to
know what's reality and what's acting. Heavenly, there's sort of
people see something and think, oh, that's real. It's a documentary,
you know, rather than a movie at drama.

Speaker 7 (47:26):
Yeah, I mean it is.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
I mean it's so much of and let's call it
up because cinema is art. But there's been so many
movies that were made in the nineties or even TV
shows you'd remember, Dallas, when they came after Friends, the
jokes made in the nineties that are still funny and
they're a bit risque, but that's what comedy is about.
So just you know that all these modern day and
mostly it is you know, younger people coming after artwork

(47:50):
that was made in a different era and saying that's
not okay anymore. It's just too much.

Speaker 17 (47:56):
Yeah, you've got to take things here, You've got to
take that into account. The things are made in their time.
But my favorite scene actually, another radio stations this morning
there went out to was that autan airport just replicate
that scene, you know, the joy of people coming home
for Christmas, and that's a great scene, that opening scene

(48:18):
of love actually, and his speech, you know, and he says,
you know, there's a lot of love. Actually, if you
look closely enough, you see that love is all around.

Speaker 13 (48:29):
Now.

Speaker 17 (48:29):
I love that opening scene and love.

Speaker 16 (48:31):
Actually.

Speaker 17 (48:31):
They have the speech, you know, the voiceover exactly.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
It's been used time and time again by various marketing
agencies and others. And you're right, because most of us
look at that and we just see a nice love story.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals, gated, he throw airport, general
opinions starting to make out that we live in a
world of hatred and greed. But I don't see that.
It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's
not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's also there, fathers
and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends,
old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as

(49:06):
far as I know, none of the phone calls from
people on board with messages of hate or revenge. They
are all messages of love. If you look for it.
I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually
is all around. I mean, that's that's pretty good stuff
there from the Prime Minister.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
Yeah, that's a good writing. Yeah, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Ever Merry Christmas?

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Yeah, thank you, cheers mate, we'll talk again soon. Oh,
e one hundred eighty ten eighty. There's some great ticks
coming through on nine two ninety two. Hi, Tyler and Mett,
I hate Hate Hate. That movie requires a name change
to lust. Actually, where is their love in that stupid movie?
From Hannah?

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Well, that's an interesting point, Kenna. Maybe it is, well,
apart from at the airport at the start that but
that we were just reading out that's all about love,
But most of the stories are kind of about lust.
But lust that could develop into love, right, I think
we all hope.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
And is that the moral of the movie.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I mean, the annoying overactor that goes to America to
meet those girls and then and they come back, can
they overact throughout the whole thing? I mean, that's a
terrible story. I mean, I don't. I mean, that's that's
not I'm not supporting that part of it. But also
I guess the question is the movie can be bad potentially.
I mean I enjoy it, but it could be bad
and it could cover bad people doing bad things. But

(50:24):
that's no reason not to watch it. Yeah, you know
what I mean, it's kind of what you're saying, Tyler's.
It exists as it is with the characters and the
story that it has, and that's what and that's great.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
There's a lot of bad movies out there with villains
and good people. I mean, that's just art.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
There's no reason, there's no reason to watch the Holiday
just because, you know, in protest about this movie.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Yeah, eight one hundred eighty ten eighty. How do you
feel about love? Actually the people get in a bit
upset about sexism or too much lust, a little bit
out of control or do they have a point love
to hear from you? Nine to nine two is the
text number. It is, bang on twenty past two.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Matt Heathen, Tyler Adams afternoons call oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty on news Talk said, be.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Very very good afternoon, dude, twenty two past two. We're
talking about Love Actually. It is getting a bit of
pushback these days because apparently it's sexist and it's all
from the male point of view, and it is just
a horrible movie, which I clearly don't agree with and Matt,
I don't think you agree with it at all.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Well, this is the argument against it here that's come
through on nine two nine two, let's look at the
love stories of Love Actually. Prime Minister cracking on secretary. Yep,
well she also cracks on him. Alan Rickman cracking onto secretary. Now,
that's definitely the secretary cracking onto Ellen.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
That's highly debatable.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
But no one's supporting Alan Rickman's behavior. And as Edward Swift,
one of our bosses, said today, you just watch Love Actually,
and then you watch Die Hard afterwards, and you see
Alan Rickman being terrible to his wife and then he
ends up falling off a building. It's great best man
at winning cracking onto his best mate's wife. Yep, Colma
Firth catches his wife cheating in the first ten minutes.

(51:58):
Stereotype British guy goes to America for an orgy. Yeah,
I mean the fifth one I don't like, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
I mean that's all trying to sums it up.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Yeah, it sums it up, but it doesn't make it
a bad movie.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Do those things in real life? Apparently, Sophie, how are you?

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (52:13):
You Sophie? Oh, I might have lost Sophie.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
We've lost Sophie.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Sophie, hang there, if you still there, we'll have we'll
get in we chat with you.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
I mentioned if it was Sophie that actually wrote the article,
that'd be interesting.

Speaker 3 (52:26):
Colleen, how are you ill?

Speaker 5 (52:29):
I'm saying, Sophie, fine, can now?

Speaker 3 (52:35):
So you heard that list that Mett just read about
the Prime Minister cracking onto the secretory, all these all
these men cracking on to women. Is that what your
take was?

Speaker 13 (52:44):
Do you know?

Speaker 5 (52:45):
This is just you know, it's so painful that people
love to tell us what we should be watching. I mean,
there's a nut woke is hip going on now without
people telling you what movie you can watch. That's why
there's a racing or something on it. You know, and
look into it before you go. It's if you think

(53:07):
that stickstor oh whatever.

Speaker 19 (53:10):
You know.

Speaker 5 (53:11):
Honestly, I think the people who carry on like this
need counseling.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
I mean what you're saying, Colleen, is playing out in Hollywood.
Hollywood's had a massive drop off in the number of
people watching their content, and part of that is because
if you make something that's designed not to offend anyone
or have any rough edges, and is completely in line
with the thinking of the day, then what happens is
you have a very bland and boring and predictable movie

(53:37):
that no one cares about. And the fact that Love
actually does have all these terrible things in it. It's
part of the reason why it's stood the test of
time because it challenges you a little bit in a
smoltzy kind.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
Of a way, well sustain mentally and physical lay And
I really don't want.

Speaker 9 (53:51):
To go to the movies and watching fairy Tale.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
Exactly. But yeah, I mean, just to your point, some
of those Christmas movies on Netflix that they've been put
out and they've been so sanitized, and it's the most boring,
punishing what you can imagine in your life, your last
ten minutes. Wif you say no thanks.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Having said that, I want to hear a bad word
about The Christmas Prince. That is a great movie. And
the Christ and the Christmas Prints are a royal wedding
and the Christmas, Prince, A Royal Baby, those three movies
starring Rose Macaiva, The Great New Zealander. But I've got
a lot of time for those movies. I don't mind it.
Absolutely schmaltzy movie, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Yeah, Smalty's okay, boring is not exactly Colleen, Thank you,
thank you very much. You're going to be watching on
Christmas Day? Then? Love? Actually, that's going to be one
thing you got to.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Remember about love? Actually though, is that I always forget
that the full nudy, rudy scene that's in there when
you sit down right that it surprises me sitting down
with your kids. All right, have a merry Christmas, Colleen,
thanks so much for calling.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
Thanks Thanks, Colleen. I think we've got Sophie beaar Hey
you Sophie. Hello, Hi, nice to chat with you. So
thoughts on love actually.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
Well, I love it?

Speaker 12 (55:05):
But there are fatter Christmas movies?

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Yes, okay, well that's that's true. Well what are your
favorite Christmas movies, Sophie, Uh, Wizard of the Wizard of Oz.
I never think I never think of the Wizard of
Ours as a Christmas movie, is it? I haven't actually
watched it for a very long time. But is that
is gonna Christmas? Is there going to a Christmas element
in it? Or is it just that you watch it

(55:29):
at Christmas?

Speaker 12 (55:29):
It's just on Christmas.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
It's always on the Telly. Yeah, there's a fair point.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
What else you got?

Speaker 1 (55:37):
And the.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Oh die Hard.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
No Home Alone, Home Alone much. You can't have a
problem with Macaulay Colgan. No, no, no, no, that's no Elf.

Speaker 7 (56:02):
No.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Elf is my favorite Christmas movie. That is a fantastic movie.
And my family we watch Elf together as a family
if every Christmas Eve. It's a tradition for the for
the longest time. The Wilfarell movie. I just think that's
the quintessential Christmas movie when Santa flies out of Central Park,
because because Zoe Deshnel's got everyone singing, oh that happens

(56:23):
to me in the heart.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
It's a great movie and the music fantastic. The Nightmare
Before Christmas surely Sophie tim Burton's.

Speaker 9 (56:31):
James, Oh god, it was in my head and now
I'm going.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
That's right, it will come back. It's a wonderful life.
Yeah ah yeah, that's a lovely movie.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
That that's a fantastic movie.

Speaker 20 (56:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Yeah, that's a great movie.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Lovely message in it.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
So you're talking about the nineteen forty six original, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
It is.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
That's a very much an American tradition, isn't it, Sophie,
Not so much here, But a lot of Americans will
sit down on Christmas Day and watch that movie, yeah,
James Stewart, Well.

Speaker 9 (57:04):
People should, yeah, as it delivers a message.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
It's got great message love. Yeah, that's true. And then
Shrek the Division of It as well. But yeah, no,
and that just started playing. I actually read something about
why that became the quintessential American Christmas movie, and it
was something to do with cheap programming at Christmas time
and just throwing a movie on back in the day.
But anyway, fantastic movie. Well, thank you so much for

(57:28):
your call, Sophie.

Speaker 21 (57:28):
Appreciate it all right, Well thanks, true mind, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Enjoy It's a Wonderful Life. On Christmas Day, We've got
time for Derek before the headlines, Yes we do.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
I don't even mind. I don't even mind some of
the remakes of It's a Wonderful Life. It's such a
great story.

Speaker 21 (57:44):
Derek Love actually, hello, Derek, guys, look Love Actually, this
is the most awful, cringe worthy movie. But you know what,
we watch it every Christmas Eve and we've watched it
for over twenty years, and sometimes we'll watch it twice.
And this is just a family tradition that we do.

(58:06):
We have it on in the background, some of us
will sit down and watch it. It's something that we
look forward to, we bond over it, we're family around it.
And look, we can all just about say the movie
word for word, and we love it.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
I think you're right, Derek. And I was trying to
someone texts that through on nine two nine two, and
I was trying to articulate as well. On paper, I
should hate this movie. There's so many cringing moments in it.
It might be the movie with the most worst bits
in it that I still love the movie.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
Yep're right, But there's something about I mean, Richard Curtis
that you know, I mean, I know I'm getting a
little way away from the topic here, but like Nottinghill,
just a movie I can watch again and again and again,
and it's smoltzy, and I know everybody knows what's going
to happen, but it's just one of those movies that
you feel good after watching.

Speaker 4 (58:56):
Yeah, look, and you don't.

Speaker 11 (58:58):
You don't have to use too much brain energy to
watch it. Yeah, you can just sit there slightly putting
on null pier slippers. It's comfortable, easy, that's familiar, and
it's enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
It's slightly challenging in the adult entertainment parts of it
if you're watching with certain you know age family members,
but you know, the rest of it's pretty easy going.

Speaker 11 (59:17):
We always made the kids cover their eyes until they
were age appropriate.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
Yeah, it's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Hey, Richard Curtis Hays. A new Christmas movie out, that
animated one that's out right now that Christmas. I believe
it's on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
Yeah, oh yep, one down there Christmas. Derek, Thank you
very much, mate, enjoy love it, Dereks text here, Hi, guys.
Bad Santra is surely up there with one of the
greatest movies Christmas movie.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Bad Sandra is famous for its shocking take on Santa
and stuff, But that movie has a heart bad center. Certainly,
it's a full redemption arc. I love that Billy Bob
Thornton is just so brilliant in that movie. I think
I think Bad Sanda is a fantastic Christmas movie.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
Absolutely oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. It's twenty nine to three back in a month.

Speaker 13 (01:00:06):
News talk'd the headlines blue bubble taxis it's no trouble
with a blue bubble. More than twenty two tons of
search and rescue equipment and aid supplies have been delivered
so far by the New Zealand Defense Force to quake
affected Vanawatu. Ninety three people were evacuated to New Zealand
last night. Consumer confidence looks to be heading back in

(01:00:28):
the right direction. The latest ANZ Roy Morgan Index for
December shows confidence has risen back into triple figures at
one hundred point two points. New figures show men continue
to be overrepresented in coastal drownings at ninety three percent.
Surf Life Saving New Zealand General manager Andy Kent says
there's a tendency to overestimate abilities and take unnecessary risks.

Despite recent heavy rain and tied after tea, the region

for grass and scrub to dry out in the summer.

Speaker 3 (01:01:27):
Thank you very much, Raylane. We're talking about Love Actually
and whether it's a bad film, and well, alas.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Not whether it's a bad film, because I love it,
even though I think that parts of it are bad.
But as Sarah Pollock and the New Zealand Hero claims,
Love Actually is too sexist to watch in twenty twenty
four and you should watch The Holiday instead because it's
less sexest. That's really what we arguing about, and I
guess it's a wider conversation not just about Love Actually,
but the idea that movies have to be squeaky clean
and completely in line with the current thinking in twenty

(01:01:56):
twenty four to to be watched, and that they should be,
you know, whereas I'm arguing that, you know, the rough
edges and the dodginess is why we like the movies.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Yep, that's what makes it real texts here, Matt read
the saucy beat. You talk about the saucy bet and love.
Actually Grandma forgot to forgot rather and put it on
for miss eight and ten. Totally forget it. I'm forgetting
rather about that scene allward.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
Someone here is mentioning Violent Night as a as a
pretty dodgy Christmas movie from twenty twenty two. It's got
David Harbor, who's of course hot Hopper and stranger things. Yep,
that's a super violent Christmas movie with a heart though.
But yeah, there's a well he goes around with a
hammer and it's kind of die Hard meets Santa Claus.

(01:02:41):
He ends up fighting off a bunch of terrorists with
a hammer with a sledgehammer because he's because of his
old Viking ancestry.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Whatever worth watch though, great movie.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
I've watched about five times.

Speaker 11 (01:02:50):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
Oh eighty ten eighty is a number called Debbie. How
are you hi?

Speaker 12 (01:02:55):
Guys? Hi guys, Mary Christmas too? I love Love Actually
it's a great solm. It's so light hatted. I mean,
it's like you can't be so woke about it, and
I mean it's just very good. But my new favorite
now is Last Christmas with Amelia Clark and Henry Golding,
which I really enjoyed that one. And that's on Christmas Eve.

(01:03:17):
And then this week I've watched a couple of new
ones called Hot Frosty and Meet Me Next Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Hot Frosty sounds about saucy or was Frosty the snowman
that woke up and he was good looking?

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
Is that the one?

Speaker 12 (01:03:31):
Yeah, he came to life and all he was wearing
was a scarf, and it's hilarious. It's so fundy. I
thought this was cool. It's really lightweight, just to watch
while you're doing nothing, you know. So no, I really
enjoyed that. And the other one was about a woman
trying to meet the manager Dreams and to get to
some a Pedatonic's concert by.

Speaker 17 (01:03:51):
New Year's Eve.

Speaker 12 (01:03:52):
I think it was all Christmas Eve and that was
really cool and light hearted. I mean, I hate people
who bashed Christmas movies because they're just meant to be fun.
They're not going to be too serious.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
Yeah, I mean I watch a Christmas movie. I watch
a Christmas movie basically every night for the two weeks
leading up to Christmas. I just love I love it.
In fact, I was just texting my kids saying, you
have to be at home Saturday afternoon because we're making
a lunch and you need to watch a Christmas movie
with me. Beautiful to pump up the Christmas spirit. But
you know Last Christmas, that movie you talk about and love. Actually,
what's the name for those movies where they have stories

(01:04:23):
that intertwine so they're not just one story? Someone will
know on nine two nine two, there's a name. They're
an ensemble cast, but there's a name for that kind
of movie where everything crosses over. Yeah, I can't I
can't remember what they're called.

Speaker 12 (01:04:37):
Great Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
Yeah you thanks for your call.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
Thank you very much. Oh eate one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call text here on
nine two nine two. Guys, I've never seen it by
my understanding, as people are mad that Love actually pretends
that the villains are the heroes.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Yeah, well, I guess so. I mean, that's that's a
moral judgment you put on it. But I guess it's
the idea is that just looks at a bunch of
different stories and I don't know the villains of the villains.
There's villains in there. The president of the United State
is made out to be a villain. And Colin Firth's
current girlfriend who gets hot and heavy with his brother,

(01:05:17):
she's a villain, isn't it. And Alan Rickman's character, he's
made out he's a villain because he buys some nice
jewelry for his secretary and not his wife.

Speaker 3 (01:05:27):
Yeah, but because it's Alan Rickman, I mean, such a
fine actor and wonderful man and rest in peace. I
won't have a bad word said about Alan Rickman.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Well, his performance is fantastic, but his character's deeply flawed
in the movie. But that's kind of the point, isn't it.
You make a movie and some characters are flawed in
some part, that's the whole point of making a movie.
If everyone's just a saint, that's not much of a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Yeah, Andrew, how are you this afternoon? Get a hey,
Hi guys, many Christmas, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 18 (01:05:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:05:56):
I just wanted to say that they did a seventeen
minute Red special of Love actually in twenty seventeen. I
don't know if you guys have seen that. No, and
it's a it's a contribution of the story, part of
the ensemble clock in it and look for it on YouTube.

(01:06:17):
But it's really good for the fans out there.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
Oh really yeah, and so you're a MESSI fan obviously,
Andrew you adore that much, of course.

Speaker 22 (01:06:26):
Yeah, of course, of course, yeah watch it. I haven't
seen it this year, and Diard of course yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:06:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Now now I have a machine gun.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Ho ho.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
Okay, here go Love Actually too. Yes, this is a sequel.
Did you know there's a seventeen minute long sequel to
Love Actually. I haven't seen this that you can stream.
The short film was recorded for fundraising event Red Nose
Back Day back in twenty seventeen. The Union Ficture, Liam Neeson,

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Yeah, everyone, hates them because they stabbed the country in
the back and pissed off to Spain. But on October nineteenth,
twenty twenty four, Emirates Team New Zealand secured an historic
victory in the America's Cup, defeating Ennios Britannia, a landmark
third consecutive win, something no syndicate has achieved in the
modern era. So that's actually pretty cool. Team New Zealand
wins our number five sporting achievement spot.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
Brilliant number four chaaliber hads only half away to.

Speaker 22 (01:09:49):

Speaker 24 (01:09:55):
He said it from outside the penalty area.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):

Speaker 3 (01:09:58):
Chris Wood made history by winning the October twenty twenty
four Premier League Player of the Month, becoming the first
player in Nottingham Forests history to be named Premier League
Player of the Month and the first Key We ever
to do it. The New Zealand Campden won the award
after scoring four times in three appearances during October. For

(01:10:19):
that amazing achievement and the most competitive sport in the world,
Chris Wood, you are our number four sporting achiever of
the year.

Speaker 2 (01:10:26):
At number three, very exciting. Obviously we have a lot
of history in Formula one from a long time ago.
And every year I go home and the support gets
bigger and bigger, and that's really cool to see. Yeah,
that's right, great New Zealander. Liam Lawson replaced Riccardo at
Red Bull Racing for the final six rounds of the
Formula One season. He then flipped off Red Bull Sergio
Perez during racing at the Mexican Grand Prix and today

(01:10:48):
he takes the seat at Red Bull with Max Vestappen.
There are so few seats on offer it's hard to
express what an amazing achievement it is for the twenty
two year old New Zealander to pull off. But awesome
Lawson has done it, and congratulations to him. He has
won our number three sporting achiever of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
A lead number two.

Speaker 25 (01:11:09):
Where as New Zealand have done it. They have timed
their interest. They were there in twenty ten. Those two ladies,
they have emulated the winning World Cup.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Yeah. Despite losing ten on the trot going into the tournament,
the White Ferns beat as South Africa in the twenty
twenty four T twenty World Cup Finals. Spinner Merely Kerr
was named Player of the Tournament after sneering fifteen Scalps
and the fifteen strong squad each took home two hundred
and fifty seven thousand dollars bonus for the White Ferns

(01:11:43):
first World Tea twenty crown and sharing the number two
spots are the black Caps, who in October won a
Test series in India for the first time. Not only that,
but they went down went on rather to win all
three Tests, marking the first time India has lost in
such emphatic fashion at home. India legend samchin ten Dolka
said it was a tough pill to swallow, bet it was,

(01:12:05):
while former England captain Michael Vaughan said it she be
considered the greatest ever Test series victory the black the
black Caps white washing India and the White Funds winning
the T twenty World Cup. Mantain Tyler Afternoon's number two
sporting achievement of this year.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
It's cheating conflating those two, wasn't It is well observed.
But now for the number one sporting achievement of twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
It's Carrington. Carrington coming down to the line.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
It is gonna be gold for New Zealand's Lisa Carrington
Paris perfection. In August twenty twenty four, Dame Lisa Carrington
again won three Olympic gold medals at the twenty twenty
four Summer Olympics in Paris. She now has nine medals,
eight gold and one bronze. Dames Lisa's total is just

and amazingly Hamish Kerr in the high jump. Great names
Brook Francis, Lisa Spores, Lydia Coe, Elise Andrews, Finn Butcher, MICHAELA. Blyde,
all burnt into our national consciousness forever. For that reason.
Our number one sporting achievement of the year are those

(01:13:15):
ten goals claim across the two weeks of competition. Give
them a taste of kiwei.

Speaker 3 (01:13:20):
What a year?

Speaker 9 (01:13:21):
What a year?

Speaker 3 (01:13:22):
Food? God right now coming up your chance to win
the other for the final time this year. A copy
of a life less punishing Thirteen ways to love their
life You've got by none other than Matt Heath. It
is a fantastic book and it is a great Chrissy present,
So we'll tell you how to win it very very shortly.
It is eleven minutes to three. You're listening to Matt

(01:13:44):
entirely Good Afternoon, the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:45):
Issues that affect you, and a bit of fun along
the way, Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the Volvo x
Naty Innovation, Style and design.

Speaker 12 (01:13:54):
Have it all.

Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
News Talk said be.

Speaker 3 (01:13:57):
News Talk said B. Now is your opportunity to win
a copy of a life Less Punishing Thirteen Ways to
Love the Life You've Got by Matt Heath. It is
truly a very good book, and I can't stay that's
so tech punishing to nine two ninety two. But I
want to read a little bit of the book out
on the chapter of Anger, and we no doubt we'll

(01:14:18):
get a little bit angry of a summer at some stage.
So if you get a little bit too hot in
the in the head and get a little bit angry,
a part of the book in this chapter talks about
a strategy called Hanlan's razor. So I read out directly
from the book. This is a handy rule of thumb
that goes never a tribute to malice that which can
be adequately explained by stupidity. So suppose that a hotel

(01:14:41):
clerk loses your reservation. Yes, he might have done so
on purpose, but more likely he is simply incompetent from
the incident as in competence rather than malice, and the
emotion you subsequently experience may be pity rather than anger.
I think that.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
I think that's been one of the biggest helps when
I discovered Hanlan's raiser in my life. Yeah, that's you know,
and you know we've all experienced it. You know, you're
at a counter or something, or you're even on the road,
and you think that that person is out to get you,
but it's more likely they're just an idiot.

Speaker 3 (01:15:11):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:15:11):
And if someone's an idiot and they're or they're incompetent,
then you should feel sorry for them rather than angry
at them, because because they have to go through their
life being incompetent, whereas you don't, So it's actually pointless
to be angry at them. Angry is the wrong emotion.
It's someone that's incompetent, it's empathy or pity.

Speaker 3 (01:15:31):
It was a great chapter for me to read because,
as I've seid on the show before that. I've had
some problem with road rage in my time and bang
on with the handling's raiser. Most of the time. They're
not trying to cut me off because they hate me
or they're just a holes. They just weren't paying attention
at the time, and I'm sure they're very sorry, and
there was no Melice involved, and that's changed my behavior
on the road well.

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
Also another one that I do as well, to stop anger,
because anger can ruin your day, and on holidays you
don't want to spend. You may only get two weeks
and you don't want to spend, and if you're lucky,
you get two weeks and you don't want to spend
that time anger, angry, and something can happen that can
ruin your day. So I always say, have I done
that thing in the past that's making me angry? And
it's nearly always yes. And then when that's happened, you've

(01:16:13):
got to forgive yourself and you've got to forgive them.
So punishing to nine two if you want to win
a lifeless punishing, What a great Christmas present that would
be for someone.

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
To stocking stuffer. Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. We're
going to pick up after three o'clock because it is
time for New Zealander of the Week very shortly. Who

Oh they are quite a great She's to finish the
year on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
I just love Lisa Carrington. She's so great across all things,
and she's absolute personification of focus. Is that personification? She
just when you see her focus on a race, she's
so much, so much, she's so much more still than
the other ones. I'm saying that words around the wrong.
She's still, she's focused, She's just.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
She's like an android. And I say that with love.

Speaker 4 (01:20:55):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Yeah, she's she's like an android that zoned in when

we bestow on your behalf to a newsmaker who's had
an outsized effect on our great and beautiful nation over
the previous week. As always, there'll be three nominees, but
only one winner. And remember, like the Time magazine person
of the Year. The New Zealand of the Week isn't
always an agent of good. Sometimes the nominations are for
real dickheads, and it's often not even a human. I'm

(01:21:36):
repeating this proviso to stop the same text we get
every week complaining some norms are there for their greatness,
some are there for the magnitude of their crapness.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Got it too right?

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
Okay, bless so, without further ado, the nominees for Matt
and Tyler Afternoons New Zealand of the Week ah the
final for the year. Tyler, who making nominee one, also
receives the end of the year Christmas grint Shitter Reward.

Dunedin driver got all of it wrong. Everything you allegedly
flip your vehicle in Mornington on Wednesday night, smashing into
two part cars while speeding, while over the alcohol limit,
while not wearing a seatbelt, with no license, while using
your phone. You're lucky to be alive. Thank god you

(01:22:41):
didn't injure anyone. You're appearing in district court today so
we can't mention your name, but for some of the
worst driving this country has ever seen. You are nominated
for New Zealander of the Week and there can be
only one. Okay, here we go. This is the last
one for the year, so it's particularly big this one.
Ry Overchamp, that's right, and the winner also receives the

Zealand across the three formats, taking seven hundred and seventy
six wickets in total, as well as amazingly for a bowler,

(01:23:27):

He's also a top gent and he did it all well,
looking like a sexy camel. Tim Soudi, you are the
Matt and Tyler Afternoons New Zealander of the.

Speaker 3 (01:23:41):
Week, a legend sexy camel.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Congratulations, Tim Saudi, give him a taste of here we
God bless and God speed. It really does look a
lot like a camel.

Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
Sexy camel at that good look a man.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
It's the shoulders, the hunchover, and the eyelash and the
chief games.

Speaker 4 (01:24:03):
It doesn't have much of a humper, imaginl Taylor.

Speaker 3 (01:24:14):
It is fourteen past three. While Dame Lisa Carrington is
our most successful Olympian ever, having won a total of
eight gold medals and one bronze medal during her career
to date. Further to all of those Olympic medals, in
twenty twenty two, she was appointed a Dame Companion to
the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to canoe
racing and to all of us. She's earned the title

(01:24:35):
of Goat in the Boat. It is a great pleasure
to welcome Dame Lisa Carrington on for our great New
Zealanders of Christmas series.

Speaker 2 (01:24:43):
Lisa. Their paras Olympic campaign was so special for us
at home, we were most proud back here. How special
was it for you over there?

Speaker 12 (01:24:50):
Ah?

Speaker 26 (01:24:51):
Incredible? I think it was. I mean there was a
lot of hard work that went into obviously the lead up,
and then to be able to have a week of
just feeling like so confident, compassionate for the team and grateful,
think it was like a I mean it was a
real I mean I look back on it with roasting

(01:25:12):
the glasses because everything went so well, but it was
it was really special. So I think it was just
so rewarding to kind of get to a place which
that we were really proud of.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
Yeah, you had a massive, big Kiwi contingency over their
Lisa being in Paris and Europe that would have been
pretty amazing.

Speaker 26 (01:25:31):
Yeah, it was amazing. I think I've done enough Olympics
for my friends to figure out that it's probably they've
got it, you know, got a bit older, got a
bit more money and were able to turn up. But
also yeah, that we had obviously our team, the teammates
also had their family and friends, so it was awesome.
And I think one day when I can be a supporter,

(01:25:53):
I can't wait to, you know, have the fun that
they have that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
Seems like a long Does it seem like a long
time ago to you? The Paris Olympic Games. I mean
it was July August, but it's been such a big
year and it was such a big event that feels
like it was like years ago to me. But it
might be different for you.

Speaker 26 (01:26:12):
Yeah, I mean I guess every day I'm kind of exposed,
so you know, it has its still it's a long tail,
I feel, and so, but it is. I mean, looking back,
what is it like four months? And that's kind of
how long when we left New Zealand that last stint
and to Paris, it was four months. So yeah, if

(01:26:35):
you look if I look at it like that, absolutely,
I guess time warps doesn't it as a pin's how
you look at it. But yeah, I mean that's what's
been incredible about Paris Is. It's felt like it's kept
going a bit, which has been awesome. I guess I've
been out in the community and embracing it a bit,
so I think that's probably why it doesn't feel that
long ago.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
Yeah, and last time I saw your gold medals, I
believe they were in a pillowcase and your bronze. Where
are they at the moment.

Speaker 26 (01:27:04):
I've actually got one in my car glove bomb and
just in case because I seem to forget it. Every
time I go somewhere. They're like, well, did you bring
your medal? And I often say no, so I've left
it there and yeah, the others, I don't know. They're
in a cupboard somewhere, maybe still in the bag for
the last time I took them somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (01:27:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
Yeah, people need that stolen vela moment. I've had it
with your medals where where you put them on even
though you did nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
To do in them.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
But as a New Zealander, we all feel like we
partially we feel proud, so we kind of feel partially
that there is as well.

Speaker 26 (01:27:42):
Oh absolutely, I mean if you think about it, you know,
sport is so important to New Zealand and our government
support high performance Olympic sports, so absolutely they are a
part of New Zealander and so that's what it's about.
And I think the Olympics have such a special time,
you know, just like Christmas, but to come together and

(01:28:05):
just kind of really celebrate being in New Zealander.

Speaker 12 (01:28:08):
Off like what we have.

Speaker 26 (01:28:09):
Overseas and you're part of that big Kiwi trive. That's cool. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
Now, I know you're a very humble personally, so but
do you ever put all the medals on and just
look in the mirror and say how Yeah?

Speaker 26 (01:28:24):
No, no I haven't. Actually I'm quite keen to kind of, yeah,
put them all together and see what that feels like
and just look. You know, it's over many years of
performing and training and that type of thing. So I
guess it's just it just tells a really cool story.
They're just amazing points in time every four years. Besides,

(01:28:48):
you know COVID, but to like reflect and focus on.
So yeah, I don't look in the mirror quite good that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
You're having an argument with your partner and then you
just go into the room and come back with all
the meddles on.

Speaker 20 (01:29:04):
You.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
One now.

Speaker 26 (01:29:08):
He would be like, would you have caught those without me?

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (01:29:14):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Are you doing any training at the moment?

Speaker 26 (01:29:18):
Yeah, Like I've been out on the water and keeping fit,
So I just can't help myself, to be honest. It's
I mean, it's been such great weather. Yeah we've had
a odd bad day, but yeah, I just can't wait
to get into Christmas and right into summer and get
out on the ocean and surf and all the fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Well, last time I talked to you, I asked if
you ever get in a kayak at a resort and
show people what you've got? And then and then I
saw a picture of you doing exactly that.

Speaker 10 (01:29:51):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 26 (01:29:52):
I got roped into a little bit of a competition,
and I then we started doing really well. And then
when things are going well, you get more like into
it and considered. So yes, I was at a resort
in Fiji and we were in kayak.

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
That's too good, So good, yea, Lisa, We're loving this Chatty.

point in putting those dessert are those salads on the

to go all in on just having an amazing feed.

right Like I look back and I think of my grandmother.
She would always would make a trifle or brandy snaps
or you know, pebble over. So I think it's such
a cool time to like we benefit of tradition as well.

Speaker 2 (01:31:27):
Do you have a Carrington special family dish? I just
helped my partner make her family dish and it was
a it was sort of a it was an atrocity really.
There was a lot of mashed potato and chicken soup
max and chips on top of it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:44):
If we down a street though, didn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:31:47):
I didn't need.

Speaker 20 (01:31:48):
Any of.

Speaker 2 (01:31:49):
Her family seemed to love it, so there a caring special.

Speaker 9 (01:31:54):
Yeah, we have.

Speaker 26 (01:31:56):
Mum always makes this amazing like cheese dip. She calls
it elephant dung because it looks lain it's green, you know,
and it's got a ton of cheese. So that's something
that she's in charge of this Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:32:12):
Yes, it's lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
The elephant done, elephant love the name.

Speaker 3 (01:32:17):

children's book Lisa Carrington Chase as a Champion. Had you
hit that in your head for some time?

Speaker 7 (01:32:26):

Always wanted to do something like that. I've always wanted
to find a way where I could share some messaging
or lessons, and I've always wanted to help you do
it for kids. So when I guess I was presented
with the opportunity from my publisher who here they, I
was like, you know what, this is the perfect time.
And I guess when you get the finished products that

(01:32:50):
comes out, you know, the illustrators done their work, and
I'm like, well, I could not have done that on
my own. Obviously they helped me immensely through it, and yeah,
like it's such a cool It's such a cool thing
to be able to do with just all those little
lessons that I've kind of learned and put it in
a way that you know, it's not just for kids,

(01:33:11):
it's for like for dad or for mom or Andy's
and uncle to read and oh yeah, those are really
cool of techniques or what a great little lesson. So yeah,
it's cool.

Love a bit of drop kick.

Speaker 28 (01:50:14):
Murphies drop kick Murphy. Yeah, I like Murphy Stout. I'm
not quite sure that the drop kick version of it,
but will take Actually I prefer that over guinness.

Speaker 3 (01:50:22):
That's strange, that is so strange, controversial. I think it
might travel better.

Speaker 28 (01:50:27):
I think that's probably why.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
Yeah, So We're coming into a bit of a break
when people are gonna have some time to sit on
their couch and watch some sport.

Speaker 28 (01:50:35):
Finally, i'd call it a break, but it's my profession.
So what do I do in my spare time and
I'm not working?

Speaker 2 (01:50:41):
Take a guess, watch sport.

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
Thank you, lucky man.

Speaker 28 (01:50:44):
So I'm doing this job in the first place, why
not just turn what you really like doing into a
way of getting paid on a regular basis.

Speaker 3 (01:50:52):
Good strategy, it is. So what are the big ones
over summer? What do we have looked forward to?

Speaker 28 (01:50:57):
There's so much, Yeah, there is so much. I think
one of the traditional summer sports, if you can call
it a sport for me, is the PDC World Darts Championship,
And this is something that is the sound of summer
to me.

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
The fuck it is the.

Speaker 28 (01:51:12):
Sound of winter over there, all those ocky jockeys and
what they get up to. So we're actually going through
qualifying at the moment, but it starts getting serious up
after Christmas. That's when we start getting to these knockout
rounds and start the big fish start swimming. They've always
been a few people being knocked out already because of
course I've been watching at night because I can't help myself.
So that's something really looking forward to. The Breakers are

(01:51:34):
going to carry on. They are in free fall at
the moment. Are they're playing tonight. Let's hope they can
pick it up and they can start challenging for a
finals position.

Speaker 3 (01:51:43):
So that runs through and fit.

Speaker 28 (01:51:44):
They're playing on Christmas Day?

Speaker 3 (01:51:46):
Really really.

Speaker 28 (01:51:49):
No, no, they've been dragged to Tasmania of all places,
taking their families on Christmas Day and going to Tasmania.

Speaker 2 (01:51:54):
Wow, do we know what time that's going to play
on New Zealand TV. It's an evening game.

Speaker 3 (01:52:01):
I think I love a bit of Christmas Day people.

Speaker 2 (01:52:03):
I'm down for a bit of Yeah, Christmas Day break.

Speaker 28 (01:52:05):
Part of me thinks, yeah, that's great because you know
sometimes hanging out the families really irritating. Part of me
thinks is like it's the one day of the year
where partners of sport adds. At least there's nothing on
for them to run away from.

Speaker 2 (01:52:16):
Most of us we've climatosed with when I just open
watching it anyway, by that time, correct, that's Christmas for you.

Speaker 28 (01:52:23):
So I'm looking forward to seeing what the Breakers can
do after a real drop and form. But the Phoenix
are going to carry on playing. And that's not only
the men, that's the wah it's the women as well
in their various A leagues.

Speaker 2 (01:52:35):
And Auckland FC got a game of Saturday tomorrow night
and they is the beach I've and running it.

Speaker 11 (01:52:43):

Speaker 28 (01:52:46):

of sand and they're turning Mount Smart into a beach
for a month. I'm not quite sure if that's this
weekend or it gets under way come the start of
jam right for volleyball or just for just a beach
because it's summer, so you go on the beach, you know,
and about it the but.

Speaker 3 (01:53:10):
Just just sand.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
It's not so much a beach as a sand pit.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
That maybe there is something.

Speaker 28 (01:53:18):
Water grave we're shipping and a whold of seawater on
