Speaker 4 (01:25):
They'd be.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Very good afternoons. You welcome into the show seven pass

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Get a matte, get a Tyler, gooda everyone. Hope you
had a great weekend. There was sports all over the
shop on the weekend so much. And before we didn't
you know there was there was all Whites, Yeah, there's
Black Caps, there was the Warriors, it was all the
Super Rugby, there was the IF One. It was a
crazy weekend. You could basically watch sport all weekend if
you didn't do anything else but having to beautiful weather

(02:04):
as well where I was. But speaking of sport, and
this may freak you out, because when I found this
out on last week, it absolutely freaked me out. Okay, okay,
I'm ready freaked me out in terms of time passing. Yeah.
So on this day in twenty fifteen was the semi

(02:26):
final of the Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. Yes,
New Zealand versus South Africa. And this is what happened.
Five off two deliveries. Elliott is facing the crowd and
full voice. Come on, Grant Elliott, he.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Takes a deep breath.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Is he going to try and head it for sex?
Is that what he's got to do? Here? Here we go,
Here we go, staying to Elliot.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Hey, pauls us.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Oh nice.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
So that was ten years ago today, and that's the
Alternative Commentary Collective's coverage of it. Absolute scenes, We got
a little bit close to the mic, a bit of
distortion from there.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
You blew out some bikes.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Does that feel like ten years ago for you?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
No way? I remember vividly we were in some sort
of dive bar in Linwood and christ Church and that
the whole bar went absolutely crazy, like you did when
he hit that sex teen years ago.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, imagine that. It's absolutely phenomenal. It's hard to get
your head around that that was ten years ago. I mean,
crazy stuff has happened in those ten years. We were
such sweet summer children back then. Yeah, we didn't know
all the bs that was coming our way. But that
just doesn't seem like ten years ago to me? Does
it to you?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
No, I wasn't doing to you. I was talking to
the general audience. I already asked you. Yeah, yeah, does
it feel that way to you.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Eighty ten eighty, I've got to say, you've got to
get the audio to Papa though. That is a beautiful
piece of audio.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, I think we tried to turn it into a
n f T. It might have. Someone might have even
paid a lot of money for the NFT of that.
It's now with nothing. I could just play it on
the radio any time I want. But yeah, what a
what a fantastic moment it was. And I actually hosted
an event with Grant Elliott just the other day and
we were talking about it and his insights onto it.

(04:45):
He's a very funny man on stage, but his insights
into what went down there and you know, fielding positions
and you know, I just asked him, how different would
your life be if Dale Stain and put it right
in the slot for you just pull along one for six.
You know, if you pitched it in short and it
hit you on the helmet or something, you know, things
would have been very different in his life. It's one

(05:07):
of that sort of the Stephen Donald situation now sliding doors.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, beautiful part of history. But on to today's show
after three o'clock, this is something that happened in your
life over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Man, Yeah, that's right, and I want to know, I
want to have some Maybe I'm going to turn this
into a sort of crowdsource therapy session because my son
moved out. He moved to Hostile for various reasons. He's
started university a bit late, but he's moved to Hostle.
So my son has moved out of the house. And
I was sort of thinking about it and knew it come,

(05:42):
but I couldn't believe the whole it left in my heart.
Yesterday when I dropped him off at his hostel, I
was like, oh my god. And I'm just trying to
work out why it is. Because he's still about. I'll
still see him a bit, and you know, he's still
in good health. But it's something to do with the
amount of effort and time and how much your children
change you when you get them, and just the moving

(06:02):
on to another era, area, era of your life. You
know that part of your life is changing. But I
was absolutely I was actually knocked on my ass by
this whole situation.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
So it's a big thing. And we're going to chat
about that after three o'clock. And we've already had some
very emotional techs come through, So looking forward to that
chat after three o'clock. After two o'clock giving up your
seat on public transport? Does this stall happen? If you're
someone that regularly uses public transport, we can to hear
from you. This is on the back of a gentleman.
He is sixty four years old in New Zealand and

(06:35):
for the first time in his life when he jumped
on a bus a youngster jumped up and said, excuse me,
so you can have my seat at the age of
sixty four.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yes, So look, I'm going to be honest here. I
haven't used public transport in a while. What are the rules?
Because when I was a kid, you had to stand
up for people, elder pensioners. Yep, you actually actually stand
up for woman definitely people that are injured. Yes, what
are the rules now? And people still following them? Because
that was the thing that was impressive for me and
this story. The guy was going, Oh, no, that means

(07:05):
I'm old because someone's standing.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Up for me.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, because he's sixty four. But it's good that people
are doing that still. But what are the rules and
what are that? What you know, what are the actual
rules as opposed to whether people are following them. Are
there's still those rules on public transport and what are they?

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Ye looking forward to that chat after two o'clock, But
right now, let's have a chat about the EV market.
Is there a bit of hyperturning in the EV market?
This is on the back of the cyber truck that
is doing a bit of a tour of New Zealand
at the moment. And you witnessed a bit of the
excitement around the cyber truck when you were out and
about over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, it was interesting. I was in Saint Luke's and
the cyber truck was there and I was eating my
sushi with my kids steering on at it, and I
have never seen so much excitement around an object in
my entire life. People of all ages were smiling. You
were allowed to climb in and out of it, and
it was just I saw there's older people climbing in

(08:05):
with a big smile and faced. Kids were climbing all
over it. And maybe that's just because it is such
a spectacular looking vehicle. It's crazy, it's insane that exists.
It doesn't look real, and I'm not sure if that's
gonna you know, you know, turn into sales when it's
actually on sale here because you can't even pre order
it yet or not. But the excitement around it, and
I was looking at it. It's very cool. I climbed

(08:27):
in it. I haven't driven it, but it's very very
cool looking. And I'm sure there's some people out there
that aren't spending too much time on the internet and
are angry at cyber trucks sport ever a bizarre reason
that their social media bubble is telling them to be
angry at cyber trucks. But what I saw there was
just streams of people lining up. I'd seen no one
lining up for Santa Claus in the same spot a

(08:48):
number of times leading up to Christmas. But I'm going
to say that right now that cyber truck at Saint
Luke's was more popular than Center.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Better than Santa. Wow, that's a bold statement.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I didn't say better than centta more popular than Center.
I don't know if there's anything better than Center. Yeah,
you know, the cyber truck's not coming down Chimney's and
giving people presents, but.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Also the BYD Shark, it's in it into the ute market,
and we know it's a hybrid, so it's a plug
in electric vehicle and you get one hundred k's out
of the electric motor. But that has entered into the
ute less quite substantially. The Motor Industry Association figures recorded
three hundred and seventy six new registrations for the hybrid

(09:27):
double cab ute, equated to about seven percent of the
ute market. So that is quite phenomenal for a new
hybrid ut to jump into the market quite that way.
And then when you look at BYD as a whole,
it is making some gains in the EV market and
the wider New Zealand car market. The ATTO has been

(09:48):
around for some time and certainly has started to jump
up the charts in terms of the number of vehicles sold.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yes, of course some Beev's battery electric vehicles peaked in
November twenty twenty three in terms of sales in the
New Zealand for obvious reasons, and then they absolutely dropped
off a cliff and then they've been going up and
ever since. But there was a slight growth in February
twenty twenty five in terms of EV registrations. So I

(10:16):
don't know, I mean I personally as much as I
thought the cyber truck was really really cool and I
would like to have one, yeah, just for fun. I
just for some reason, was thinking for a long time
I would maybe get an EV at some point, And
now I'm just out and what, I don't know, I
just lost interest. Apart from the cyber truck being kind

(10:36):
of cool, I'm like just plugging it in. I don't know.
And I've talked to a few friends that run evs
that find it slightly annoying. But you know, it is
also annoying to go and fill up your car with gas,
you know, I.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Guess, yeah, I mean people some people would know that
we've got a hybrid plug and that's a bit of
admin even with that fifty K that we get out
of our hybrid. But looking at the new technology coming
through now where some of these evs can get a
thousand k's on a single battery, if not more, that
for me is now starting to think about if I'm

(11:09):
going to buy a new vehicle, I'd probably be looking
at an EV. So keen to hear your thoughts on that.
O eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call nine two ninety two. But when you take
away the factor that you don't have to charge up
on a long haul driving trip. You know, if you're
going from Auckland down to Wellington and you don't have
to stop in the middle and charge up for twenty minutes,

(11:31):
then that kind of takes away a lot of the
challenges or the hurdles that people initially considered when they
were looking at EV's right.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yeah, there you go, O one hundred and eighty ten
eighty nine, two ninety two. Where are we sitting on
evs in our country right now? How are you feeling
about them? You're feeling more likely to get one or
less likely to get one? There is an interesting thing
where the left seems to hate evs now all of
a sudden, we'll see once environmentalists, no one would have
no one would have picked that. No, that flip exactly.
Oh e one hundred and eighty ten eighty. You'd love
to hear your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Seventeen past one.

Speaker 1 (12:00):

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Matt and Taylor Afternoons.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
With the Volvo X, attention to detail and a commitment
to comfort news tools.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
There be.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Good Afternoon twenty pass one and we're talking evs. Are
they making somewhat of a comeback after they dropped off
quite substantially in terms of the number of us buying them.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was messing around with a cyber truck on the weekend.
I think they look cool. A lot of people are
saying they're ugly, but I think that's kind of the point.
The point is that they are a statement vehicle and
that there the idea is that they look like a
perception of the future. This Texas says, I think the
cyber trucks are very cool. I've seen four now, one
painted white.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
And what they can do, you know, what's under the
hood in terms of what the power they can get
out of the batteries is phenomenal, isn't it. You can
I think run a house for a good couple of
weeks on that cyber truck. It's phenomenal what you can
get out of that vehicle.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, it's difficult to get them in New Zealand, of course,
as they're unavailable and no plans to have the steering
roill moved over to our side. Mark your thoughts about EV's.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
Yeah, I've had one for a couple of months now,
and my figues for thread is not getting one earlier? Really,
a couple of weekends ago, I had to hire a
car and I was pretty peed off seventy annoying, to
be honest. The only time I've had to charge that
was just when I drove him back from Alton just
down to PARMI. Yeah, that person that's just chatted a

(13:33):
hope because I get three three hours of power, you know,
pretty pretty low. Really, I need to rope what model?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
What model?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
TESTSA have you got? Mate?

Speaker 6 (13:45):
Just a second hand model model three year? I mean
I couldn't afforded you one of the pretty pretty Yeah,
but I mean they're coming down, and I think that
they'll they'll come down even more with China just take
so many of the however, Yeah, China seems to be
the least almost taken over from Piece now as far
as technology goes. And last week they just come up
with a charge of the charges of a thousands killer

(14:08):
what for hours but basically four hundred kilometers of range.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Stuff.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
Wow, I mean a lot of a lot of the
sort of old wives tales about it just disappeared now.
And I think with China, I mean China, such a
reference rate's mind blowing how quickly they go from sort
of intecting to implementation. And I think B y D
is an example of that, you know, fast movies. You're

(14:41):
talking about the Shark, I think, which is already made
a bit of defense in the market. But you know,
having probably having the plug in hybrid is probably the
cheapest way to go because you playing pay half the
road to charges and you know, you sit with their
by brains. Probably most people aren't driving.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Mark, How does it feel when you go? You said
you hit to rent a normal fuel car recently. How
does it feel? How sluggish does it feel when you've
been driving around in an.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
Ev The biggest thing is you have to do a
lot with the Tesla. It doesn't looking at.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
Rely on it.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
I mean, the weirdest thing is that, Yeah, I mean
it's a completely different experience.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Have you driven, yeah, a couple of times and it's
just blowing my mind. Actually the first time I found
it quite it was freaky. The amount of power that
you've got and the amount of you know, the acceleration.
It feels dangerous.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
And yeah, they go faster than you'd ever want to
go basically, and I mean you sort of get over
there you know that, but I mean just the technology
and built and that sort of thing just have blows it.
I think, you know, time goes on. I mean with
the Chinese, they're trying to take over the cows market

(16:13):
world basically from Japan, and they're doing a pretty good,
pretty good job.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
And does your Model three that you know, your Model
three still updates gets all the Tesla updates, doesn't it?

Speaker 8 (16:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (16:25):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's capable of full self driving
or whatever, like when you get on the motorway you
just sort of pull the storm down a couple of
times and it sort of drives for yourself. But I
mean that's not full self driving. Obviously you want to
pay but more for that. I mean, if if Tesla
does get that, I mean that'll be huge game changes
for the whole auto industry. And I think eventually it

(16:45):
will come with AI. We will have kas that drive
themselves and thinking around the place, and that's the biggest
change will come to the whole car industry and the
driving industry, A big, big, big deal really now.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Mark in the United States, there's some people that are
spending too much time on the internet that getting angry
at Tesla's this I'm not sure how much it's really happening,
but there's been some teslas that have been attacked. There's
been people driving around just giving the bird to people
for their car. Do you feel any of that driving
around your tesla in New Zealand?

Speaker 6 (17:19):
Nah, I mean all those stories are overhyped, but just
you know, in a million type things, I find the
irony is that Musk has sort of teamed up with
drill Trump, who wants to come more all out of
the ground. I mean, Elon was the darling of the
green world that it almost to become the enity the
strange world.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, there's there's a there's a huge amount of irony
in people attacking teslas and setting them on fire. If
you know, it hasn't happened that much obviously, and it's
all gets hyped up and people on their social media bubbles,
you know, maybe think it's happening more. But there was
someone in New Zealand that posted a picture themselves giving
the finger to the cyber truck. That wasn't like that

(17:58):
was some kind of meaningful act here in New Zealand.
We've got nothing to do with it.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
I think someone damaged a polster which is.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Very weird.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
They thought it was a Teslas. I felt of it.
Sorry for the guy was a pulse.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
We didn't even have a bloody well.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
With the irony and the other irony. The people that
are targeting Tesla's in the United States are more than
likely heading the people that five minutes ago agreed with
them in their politics, because everyone that was buying them
two years ago was on the left.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
It's a world, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
It's a crazy world. All right, Thank you so much, Mark,
and good luck with that model.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Three quick text to the break, guys, I sold my
twin Turbo bmw BI in this and leaf. Apart from
all the banter that I got from my mates, I'm
laughing all the way to the bank.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Everyone thinks that EV's saving the planet from pollution. However,
if you've seen the EV graveyards in China, we don't
happen to have the technology to dismantle and recycle the parts,
particularly the batteries, and that'd be forever pollution on the
planet Earth. It's just a fad owning an EV, says James.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Thank you very much. Oh one hundred and eighty ten
eighty is the number to call if you are looking
to buy a new car, are you considering an EV
Love to hear from you. Nine to ninety two is
the text number. It's twenty seven past one.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers, the mic asking breakfast.

Speaker 10 (19:21):
It's public service, Minister Judith Collins as well as I've
been through these things before. When you say are there
savings to be made, they come back and say we'll
have different funds at.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Morning tea and we'll save on paper clips. It's a
waste of time.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
Well, I don't know that it is.

Speaker 11 (19:33):
Actually, when we took over in government just over a
year ago, the pocket service had grown in six years
by thirty four percent, as well as consultant spending.

Speaker 8 (19:43):
Is going right through the root.

Speaker 11 (19:45):
There will be some people who think this is a
bit of a joke, but the words that are used
in this sense all the way through it. There is
no money from government, it's taxpayers money. That's something that
needs to be rammed home.

Speaker 10 (19:57):
Back tomorrow at six am the mic Hosking Breakfast with
Mayley's real Estate Newstalk ZB Afternoon.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
It is twenty nine past one and we're talking about evs.
If you're on the market for a new vehicle. You
now looking at EV's They dropped off the charts considerably
in twenty twenty three, and we know a big part
of that was because the subsidy got ditched and fair
enough too. But it feels like there's some hype coming
back to the EV market.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
And do you think the cyber truck looks cool? Because
I saw one in Saint Luke's. You've never seen anything
bring so much joy to people as everyone lining up
to play with the EV love this Texas is buy
an EV. Best decision ever, lads. I was thinking about
an EV until they incorporated road user charges to them.
I understand the rationale, however, don't need an extra bill.
A great show, lads, thank for your text. The cyber

(20:42):
truck is banned on UK roads due to its sharp
corners pedestrian safety the UK A bunch of busses are
exactly if you can't handle a cyber truck on the roads.
They're hard enough UK road rules.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
We don't want to follow what the UK does. They're
a bit weird sometimes. This guy this texture says, no
way will I buy an EV until there is some
way to recycle the batteries. Everyone seems to forget how
big the batteries are, how much pollution is made through
the menfacturing of them, and also the number of spontaneous
fires there have been. I will wait until hydrogen power
is perfected and that and then get a car powered

(21:18):
by that from Jill.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Okay, good on your jellon. We're gonna go to Richard he.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
We'll play some headlines with ray Lane. Then come back
with more of your calls. Oh, eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call if you want
to send a text more than welcome. Nine to nine
too is the text number. It's twenty nine to two.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
All right, okay, you talk said the headlines with blue
bubble taxis it's no trouble with a blue bubble.

Speaker 12 (21:43):
Four people have been injured, one seriously, after a car
mounted the footpath and hit people in trees on Auckland
Simon Street.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
A witness says.

Speaker 12 (21:52):
People had to dive out of the way just after midday.
Saint John says three people were taken to Auckland Hospital
and a fourth treated at the scene.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Dannik and the Clane is there.

Speaker 13 (22:02):
A number of emergency services have now left the scene
here at Simon Street outside the University of Auckland's Engineering builder.
There are still quite a number of students though standing around.

Speaker 12 (22:11):
People should stay away from Percivale Street in christ Church
of Sydenham, with some properties evacuated after reports a person
was making serious threats. Ukraine's Defense Minister Syspace talks in

Back to Matt Eathan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Thank you very much, Rayleen, and we're talking about evs
on the back of there was a lot of hype
around the cyber truck doing the tour in New Zealand
and also a lot of noise being made about the
byd Shark. Now bearing in mind that is a plug
in EV which is a hybrid. But if you're in
the market for a new vehicle, are you now eying
up EV's again.

Speaker 14 (23:11):
O E.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
One hundred and eighty ten eighties, so number to call.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
We've owned an EV for three years. Best decision we
have ever made. My wife's weekly fuel bill has gone
from sixty dollars a week to fifteen worth of electricity.
On top of that cost of living is the maintenance bill.
Our three year old Tesla has only required one set
of tires and a set of wiper blades. No more
expensive ser servicing costs. On the other side of the argument,

(23:33):
Craig says, EV's a crap. The cyber truck is fugly.
Ice engines all the way and tonal combustion engines all
the way till the last drop of oil is squeezed
out of the ground. EV's a soulless, boring drives passionate.
That's from Craig. Hey, you know people saying that the
cyber truck is ugly or not ugly. I think it
looks cool. But you know, on Friday we were talking

(23:55):
about the Horsey haircut, yes, and I was saying it
was an iceore of a haircut. Well, I was at
the rugby on in the weekend and this dad came
up to me had been listening with his two sons
that had the horsey haircut, and he came up and see,
what do you mean these boys this haircut and ugly.
And I have to say it looked good on his
two sons did in full three D. Not just the

(24:18):
things they thought. And I'm going off top of here,
but the horsy haircut that I saw on I locked
up online when we were talking about it. It actually
the horsy haircut.

Speaker 15 (24:26):
Look.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
That doesn't change my views on following the rules that
your school lays out for you, but I might have
to walk down it as possible for the horsey haircut
to look cold.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
That's great, Richard, how are you man?

Speaker 2 (24:38):
Your thoughts on the cyber truck?

Speaker 7 (24:39):
My thoughts on the cyber truck. It's an excellent vehicle.
It comes from useful features. It's a pickup truck, so
when the body panels fall off, you can pick them
up and put them in there and okay around.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
The leadership, that's good.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, they're recalling they were recalling forty eight thousand cyber
trucks because the glue holding the panels on doesn't stick.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Oh yeah, ah right, I guess that's cool. Well, that's
good that they're going to fix them and then send
them back out there. That sounds like a positive.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
It is in England you're not going to be to
take your cyber truck on the Channel ferries very shortly,
or any other electrical vehicle. They're band they're banned in
the in the various Scandy countries as well. Because of
the shape of the Scandy countries, you'd use ferries rather
than drive the long way around, but you count with
an ev you've got to drive a long way round.

(25:26):
Range is always a problem. If you look at the
Mercedes truck for trades, it's got a range of one
hundred kilometers. It's a right if you're going to be
popping around Papanui, but if you're further afield, you've got
a problem.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
There is a problem with some ev utes in terms
of the white isn't there And you know when you
get it, when you're pulling something that is.

Speaker 7 (25:46):
Mostly battery, you've got you've got to have a heavy
traffic license yet.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, and then and then if you're pulling something behind it,
then that then you easily get over that.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
That maximum weight maintenance costs. People who are talking about
that if you buy if you buy a jag your eyepace,
it costs you about between one pound fifty two pounds
a mile in depreciation. Right, let's forget the electra cost
savings so many stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Well you mean you mean and right, and you mean
and the resale value of don't buy.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
It and you've got to trade. You get on a
three year lease in the UK. Again, this is UK,
your three year lease. And when you take it back
and they look at the mileage and they give you
a bill and you wind up this crossing between pound
fifty and two pounds a mile.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Well, you know, like that's there's an argument that a
lot whenever you buy a new car, as soon as
you get off the lot, you start losing money.

Speaker 7 (26:41):
Yeah, but the epos are putting this folders the plus
look at the appreciation. You can buy a second hand
one so cheaply.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Yeah that's right, Yeah, that's absolutely so.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
Some poor sods bought this thing taking a bath. Yeah,
and that's going to stop, you know, I mean, people
cannot keep on putting their hand in their pocket and
just a virtue signal.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
What about the new technology coming to the four Richard?
Does that change your mind at always some of these
cars are getting a thousand plus k's out of the
battery before you need to recharge it again.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
Does is that that's measured? That's measured in a warehouse
on a rolling road, no hills, no headwind, no passengers,
no windscreen, wipers, no radio, no heater.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
That is true.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
I mean test has been sued a couple of times
because there you charged up, the've got a range of
five hundred miles and inside of two hundred and fifty
miles the battery's flat. And you know they've been misleadings,
misleading people. It's a real problem. As for hydrogen, to
get one killer worth a hydrogen, you've got to consume
three killers worth of power.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
How do you feel about hybrids, Richard? What do you
sit on the nose?

Speaker 7 (27:47):
He's got a life of about maximum life of about
eight years and then it's a right off right.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Okay, Well I've got a hybrid, Richard.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Why is that? Richard?

Speaker 7 (27:56):
Well, the battery goes right, I mean it's a it's
a bag of liquid chemicals that started the grade even
before you bought the vehicle brand new, good luck to
that's what you want to drive and you think you're
doing the world of favor.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Okay, what about what about if you're not driving it
because you think you do the world favor, but you
just driving it because you like the talk and you
like the acceleration and you like yourself driving and all
the other features.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
Yeah. Great. It was an Egyptian. It was an Egyptian
surgeon was playing spaces on his in his Tesla and
he drew under a semi trailer.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
So for you, Richard, petrol all the way.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
Well, I've got a twelve year old Master and if
I took it to Norway, I could trade it for
a five year old Tesla straight spot.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah. How are you going to give I mean.

Speaker 7 (28:53):
Market penetration in Norway? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, all right, thanks so much for you call, Richard.
Appreciate it, welcome, Thank you.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
So Richard clearly wasn't a fan of EVS or hydrogen
or anything else.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
He wasn't one of the people that I saw skipping
around the cyber trade at Saint Luke's More in the
weekend with big smile on their faces. No, great call,
Thank you for that.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Absolutely. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. How are you feeling on EV's They dropped
off considerably after what was quite a bit of hype
in twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three. But there
are some new models coming into the market that is
causing a bit more hope.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
There's all kinds of information coming in and different opinions,
and we love it. On eight hundred eighteen eighty and
nineteen niney two, James is wrong, Sis is Texla? Tesla's
left about four point five years ago where they recycle
EV batteries. They were used about eighty percent of an
old battery, so not one hundred percent waste. There you go, perfect,
all right?

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is eighteen to two.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Where do you sit on EV's you're falling out of
love with them and you're falling in love with them.
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
It's a fresh take on took back Matt and Taylor
Afternoons with the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into
something special.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Have your say on eight hundred and eighty.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Ten, Good afternoon. It is accorded to term. We're talking
about the EV market. There has been, you know, some
articles about a bit of a turnaround in the EV
market with some new models coming to the market, like
the B y D Shark and the cyber truck touring
around New Zealand. It's not yet available in New Zealand,

(30:28):
but as you see, Saul Matt, it was creating a
lot of height.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
As I said before, I saw Santa Claus sitting in
the same spot, and there was more excited about the
EV truck with young and old that there was about Center.
This Texas says, I have a Vaston Martin nice, my
dream car, and two EV's. My favorite car to drive
is my poster. It's an EV and it is awesome.
So he's leaving the v a Eston Martin in the

(30:53):
in the garage.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
That says a lot, don't it.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
There? You go, all right, welcome the show, Darryl. Tell
us about your EV.

Speaker 16 (31:02):
Well, firstly, I'd like to tell you about one I
wouldn't get. Yeah, and that's the cyber truck designed by
a child, build quality of a toy, and the thing's
been recalled now three times. The entire vehicle fleet has
been recalled three times since they started making it. I
wouldn't trust them as far as I could kick it.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
You've got to say it looks cool, though, I don't
think I've ever seen a cooler looking car in my life.

Speaker 16 (31:28):
Like it was designed by you in the Dark.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
By who in the Dark?

Speaker 16 (31:33):
Me and the Dark, Yes, Matt, by you in the Dark.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Really think it's quite a good design. I feel like
it looks like it was designed by the movie Tron
in the eighties, is what it looks like to me,
which I always thought was really cool in that regards.

Speaker 16 (31:48):
You're probably right because that was a horrible movie as well.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Okay, okay, but who was the child? Who was the child?
I'm impressed of a child. So you said a child
designed the cyber truck? What was the child?

Speaker 17 (32:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (32:07):
I think you're trying to push outside of the point
I was making. But the reality is that I own
a EV have done for over two years.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's the reality.

Speaker 16 (32:20):
I did not buy it because I'm a greenie or
for any kind of savor Planet reasons. I bought it
because the technology is far superior to that of an
ice engine, and the cost to run it is considerably low,

(32:41):
even with having to pay road user charges. My cost
of running are less than twenty five percent of what
my previous vehicle was, and that's a huge amount of
money over the course of the lifetime of the vehicle. Yes,
I'm going to lose money on the resale value, but

(33:01):
I was going to lose basically the same amount of
money on the car that I would have bought had
I not bought an ev anyway, you know, the reality
is that it's a really good piece of kit and
I travel periodically distances, which means that I do have

(33:22):
to look to recharge on those trips. But there are
enough charges out there now that if you are traveling
that distance you're going to want to stop for a
pee break or food or something else. Just tie the
two of them in together and you're not using up
any more time than you would otherwise. Most of the
recharging that I've done is on the charge net fast charges,

(33:47):
and in less than half an hour, I can go
from twenty to eighty percent, which in my car is
over four hundred kilometers. And just on the reference to
how far it will travel, the book says my car
will do five hundred and fifteen k's on a full charge.
And you had the gentleman earlier that was saying that

(34:08):
done without wipers, without seats, without in a blam bar.
And it's not in the real world. My cart does
four hundred and ninety ks on a single charge in
the real world with two people in it.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Well, there go good stuff, Darryl. And so I was
just looking up because the child was the person that
designed the cyber truckers Franz von Helsenheusen. Right, Yeah, I
was not a child. He's he was born in nineteen
sixty eighty. Oh, certainly not a child truck. Because I
looked it up, I was like, Wow, a child did
the design the cyber truck. I was quite impressed. But no,

(34:44):
but thank you for you call, Darryl. I appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
A couple of texts, good a guys, I have a
seven hundred horsepower dedicated lpg V eight Falcon, half the
price of petrol and clean burning love it. EV's not
so hot on chairs.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
This is a fair criticism of the cyber truck. Met
your cyber truck looks like a bloomin doorstop. It does
reach in there pretty much. It's fair to say if
you had the right sized door, that would would be
a good doorstop.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
Yeah, yeah, but a lot under a lot under the
hood of the cyber truck though, wasn't there, And I
think that is what that's part of the appeal that
people love that. When I looked at the cyber truck
when it first got designed, and yeah, unique and different looking,
no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
When I first saw the design, I thought it was
a practical joke. Yeah, I thought it was controlling. That's
why I was so cool to see it in real life.
You can't quite get your head around it when you're
looking at it doesn't look real. It looks like some
some kind of artificial projection or something. Yeah, but I
find things like that cool. I find it awesome to
live in a time where something like that exists. It's
just it's just it's just crazy that that someone is

(35:52):
willing to build that, and with such a small market,
because it would be such a crazy statement if you
turned up on site, if you're a trade and you
tune up with a cyber truck, it's such a crazy statement.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
But just to be able to take it away and
if you go camping and be able to run everything
in your home for three days off the cyber truck,
that is impressive.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
That is impressive. What did you say there?

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Three days off the cyber truck.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
No, but how did you describe it? Impressive? Every think
I'm nine two, I'm just getting ahead of the tech something. Hey,
guys love the teck. However, I think it's got a
way to go for a full ev I drive in
both worlds for information China, the government is urging the
population to move from from the batteries, ion batteries and

(36:38):
the scooters and bikes. Judify hazards. Fires a rere but
very dangerous. Yeah, they once, once they go up, they
go up.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
Exactly hard to put out right. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call if you want
to send teacher more than welcome. Nine to nine to two.
EV's making a bit of a comeback. Love to hear
from you.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
It is nine to two, Matties Taylor Adams taking your
calls on eight hundred eighty ten eighty Matten Taylor afternoons
with the Volvo xc N eighty tick every box less
experience of weeds News Talks, ENV.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
News Talks, z'b. It is six to two and we've
been talking about the EV market dropped off a cliff
in twenty twenty three. But we've asked the question is
it starting to come out well?

Speaker 2 (37:20):
For obvious reasons In twenty twenty three, you know, when
the subsidy to support BEARD and then since the endroad
user charges have come on board, the six says, look
how combustion engine has come and the EV will do
the same. I mean the EV. I mean there's no
doubt that the incredibly impressive. Anyone that if you've driven one. Yeah,
the feeling is like nothing else. The power, the power

(37:40):
you know of the Tesla that I drove, it's dangerous.
How much power is our EV? Is great? A range
of three hundred and twenty kilometers, which is perfect for
our use my wife's car and the week in the
family car during the weekend. We also have a petrol
car for large capacity needs or long distance driving. Never
understood the non EV crowd using the range as part

(38:00):
of the argument you buy a car dependent on your needs.
I wonder why the same idiots don't like loudly dennigret
hatchbacks for not having enough carrians. It's a really good point.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yeah, very good. This stix is Gooday, guys love the tech. However,
think it's got a long way to go before I
consider a full EV I drive a plug in EV
best of both worlds.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
F Yi.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
In China, the government is urging the population to move
from the various technologies.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
That Texas said. Seriously, boys, the cyber truck is hidious.
It would love it, and ye it's something out of
the eighties. Yeah, I love it. I love the look
of it because it's so crazy. But I do concede
it's hideous.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
Yeah, it's unique.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
It's hideous, but it's unique and it's interesting. And I
stand by my claim that it was making people happier
than Santa Claus made in the same spot in the
saying Luke's more this, Texas says, it's battery. It's batteries,
not batteries.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
All right, thank you very much for that.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
We both have terrible South Island accents, don't we exactly
till ambulance has come up and then I'm really in trouble.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
Thank you very much for all your phone calls on
ticks on that one. Really enjoyed that discussion. And I
think if you've got an EV, according to the people
we chatted to in the text, they absolutely love their evs.
They wouldn't go back. But for people who don't have
an ev yet hate them, hate them.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
And just for the record, I think cyber trucks are
Coolah yeah, What are you going to do about it? Darryl?
What are you going to do about it?

Speaker 8 (39:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Coming up after two o'clock? Is it still commonplace for
young people to stand up on a bus and offer
their seat to let's call them, vulnerable people in society?
Is that still happening out there on the back of
a sixty four year old Kiwi who found himself in
that situation at what he considers still quite a young age.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
What are the public transport rules? What's the etiquette in
twenty twenty five? Does all the old rules still stand?

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeap oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the
number to call? Nine two ninety two is the text number.
Great to have your company as always. You're listening to
Matt and Tyler, New Sport and Weather on its way.
Good afternoon, afternoon's.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Teating talk.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
It's Mattie and Taylor Adams Afternoons with the Folvo XC
ninety on News Talk SEV.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Good afternoon to you. Great to have your company as always.
You're listening to Matt and Tyler with you until four
pm and it was a great chat last out, thank
you very much. But we're going to shake things up
over the next hour or so and we want to
talk about standing up for people on a bus. This
is on the back of a story by a gentleman
called Chris Miriams, and I'll read out part of what

(40:43):
he said. He wrote about an experience he had on
a bus recently. He says, recently, I was heading to work,
catching a bus with a younger colleague who was new
to the business. As we moved down the crowded isle
of guy late thirties, maybe even late early forties, rose
to his feet and looked me in the eye and said, sir,
would you like the seat now went on to say,
I've done that myself, but only for old people, those

(41:05):
who looked old, frail, in need of a seat, surely
not speaking to me.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
So this was his moment when he realized that the
world looked at him as an old man.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
It's interesting because I've heard about this in dating sites
right where people always get they get peered up with
someone and they go everyone, they're showing me as old,
and then they'll go, well, that's because you are old,
because everyone doesn't look as old in their own mind.
You know, everyone walks around thinking, jeez, I look young
from my age.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
It's a harsh moment to face it. We've all got
to face it.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
But the bigger question really is what other rules and
people still following them in terms of, you know, standing
up for other people on the bus. I would say,
let let's just go for a basic it's a basic
rule that everyone have to agree that you are a
piece of crap with no more worthiness on the planet
than a weasel if you don't stand up for a

(41:57):
pregnant woman. Definitely, If there's a pregnant woman standing there
holding the bar and you're sitting down and bumping along
and you just remain seated, and you know you're in
your teens when he's thirties, forties, fifties, yep, then you're
a terrible human being.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Well leally, yep, that's one hundred percent. I think we
can all agree on that one. I'll throw another one
out to you. An elderly woman, clearly, she's elderly yep,
at least in her seventies or eighties.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (42:23):
And she's got a Zimmer frame.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
No, she's got a Zimmerphane, that's enough to support her.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Of course, so that's another hundred percent. But when it
comes to this particular gentleman, you know, at age sixty
four and we're talking about you know, what are the
rules when you're on public transport in terms of who
you give your seat up for? But sixty four, you know,
for a lot of people out there thinking that's not
bloody old.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Okay, what if you're sixty and the person and you've
got a person in their mid twenties with a broken
leg and crutches.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
If you're swore, you've got to give it up to
the person with a broken league?

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Surely?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Really, what if you're seventy?

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Oh, start to get complicated then, okay, so we want.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
To know what the rules are out there eight hundred
eighty ten eighty And are they being followed still? And
are they being taught to young people? Are they a
young people being told that you stand up for a
pregnant lady and an elderly person or someone that's disabled.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you're someone that
regularly uses public transport, love to hear from you. What
do you see on the morning commute, particularly when it's
rush hour and the bus is full. Are young people
still getting up and giving their seat? And who are
they giving them to? And if you're someone who needs
to have a seat when they jump on a bus,
is that something that gets offered to you on a
regular basis. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the

(43:45):
number to call. Nine two ninety two is the text number.
It is ten past two.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Wow, your new home of afternoon talk Matt and Taylor
Afternoon with the Volvo XC ninety. Turn every journey into
something special. Call Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty News
Talk said, be.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
News Talks, There be good afternoon to you. And we've
asked the question when would you give up your seat
on public transport?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
This Texas says, I'm a female school bus driver in
the South Island. If I get too full and the
kids have to stand, I get the older boys to
stand for the girls. I tell them there's no better
way to impress a girl than chivalry. Love that, So
that's standing as a strategy. Yeah, interesting, curry favor with
the ladies. Jackie, your thoughts on this? Who you should

(44:33):
stand up for on the on the bus? And public transport.

Speaker 18 (44:37):
Thanks for asking, and I love your show. It's just
my best time to call you that. I feel thank
you have to read us up Street at least twice
a day because I live on Queen Street and I'm
partially blind, and so I have a white cane, and
I have never ever had anybody stand up even with
my white cane.

Speaker 19 (44:57):
Really.

Speaker 18 (44:58):
Yeah, and I also and I'm seventy four this week,
so I upgrade your story for the success three year
old guy. He must have just been lucky.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
That is disgusting. Yeah, that is disgusting that no one's
ever stood up for you with the cane.

Speaker 18 (45:13):
No, and I carry my shopping as well. And it's
not only myself. I've encountered watching other people get on
the bus with their friends and everything. Honestly, other people
on the bus tell tell the students to stand up,
or to the person, there's a special area designed for
disabled people and people to sit there, and they don't

(45:35):
stand up.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Do you think people don't know that they're not being
taught that, because although I'd argue that you wouldn't need
to be taught that, it seems like a basic show
of empathy.

Speaker 16 (45:47):
They said that.

Speaker 18 (45:49):
I'd say that there's a lot of people from other cultures.
Maybe they don't understand the way that you know, that
that we let or with the walks of life, or
just being kind.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
Really there should be are there signs and buses that say,
you know, they're their.

Speaker 18 (46:07):
Time, and there's signs on the SIGs that we were
allowed to stake any in recent Yeah, and so you know,
I've experienced quite a lot of because this bus that
read busset goes from down Pree Street, goes up to
k Road the same as you get on the bus
at ky Road, there's a lot of school children and
that you've taken you seed down.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
That's terrible. That's that's thank you for call Jackie. Yeah,
I wonder this is this is another theory I'm going
to bring to it. Are people just because one of
the most impressing things you see nowadays is everyone just
hunched over at this bus stop, staring at their phone
and they get on the bus and then they just
hunched over, steering on their phone. Are people just so
engrossed in their humiliating social media that they don't even

(46:47):
see people? You know, So you could be in a
situation where you're just on your phone, you know, looking
at your insta watching humiliating TikTok brain rot and then
just look up and go, oh my god, there was
poor old Jackie with a cane there right beside me,
and I didn't even see it.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
Definitely be an element of it, But also I think
there may be for some of these young people, and
it's horrendous that she's near thed anyone stand up for her,
that there may be a little bit of oh, somebody
else will do it. I don't need to do it
because somebody else will be the better person, and nobody does.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call
if you're a regular user of public transport. Love to
hear from you about what are the rules for standing.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
Up for people? Yep. The one we've locked down now
is you definitely stand up for someone with a visually
impaired person with a cane.

Speaker 9 (47:32):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
That adds to my one that you definitely stand up
for a pregnant woman, although this person says, what if
you offer pregnant lady your seat but she isn't pregnant,
they get a bit upset if that happened.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Awkward, very awkward. Yeah, you got to be careful. You
got to be careful.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Yeah, all right, seventeen past two.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty on used talk ZB.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
Good afternoon, it's nineteen past too, and we're talking about
giving up your seat on public transport? At what point
do you do that and for whom? And if you're
someone that does require a seat on public transport, what
happens when you asked someone to give up their seats?
Love to hear from you on oh, eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty nine, two ninety two is the text number.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
This Texas said, why should I give up my seat?
We will pay the same amount. Why does anyone have
any right to the seat I've paid for?

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Controversial? See that is that's what's wrong with society.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Common decency mate, Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
This Texas here is a gentleman would always offer a
seat to a woman pregnant or not, no matter what age.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Really interesting. Yeah, so yeah, that's an interesting one. Like
so what about so if you're a sixty five year
old man, do you offer your seat to a twenty
one year old? Woe?

Speaker 3 (48:59):
I think that would be the right thing to do,
wouldn't it right?

Speaker 2 (49:01):
Yeah, I'm going to be cool. Yeah, a cool thing
to do. Christian, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 15 (49:08):
Hey guys, how are you going?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Very good?

Speaker 15 (49:11):
Okay mate, I think you guys are just touching on
a border of border subject. My mum's always taught us that,
you know, back in the day, educated was a huge thing.
Open the door for a lady, you know, open a
car door, walk on the stairs in front of them,
knives and forks in the right places. I think that's
missed on society these days. You know, you're talking about

(49:32):
danning for someone on a bus, but that should We've
we've lost the sence of actually, to a certain degree,
caring because now it's about I've paid for this, I've
paid for that. You know, I've got the rights to this.
I've got the rights to that. But you know, we
you know, my mum always said, you know, you want
to impress somebody, that little bit of it goes a

(49:53):
long way and I'll pull the chair out for them.
And that's yeah, it's lost. It's a it's a it's
a dying art form because people don't really care about
this stuff anymore. So sitting people do. But yeah, that's
just my.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Little pass Christians. Have you if you don't mind me asking,
did you have you got children? I do, and did
you instill that in your kids that I do?

Speaker 15 (50:18):
And that's standing up hundred hundred percent, you know, peas
and thank you mayo peers. And it's not a cultural thing.
It's a it's a common decency thing. It's a hey,
you know, there's something that needs a little bit of
attention and it's a.

Speaker 20 (50:31):
Bit of help. Can I do that for you?

Speaker 15 (50:33):
Can I carry that for you? And yeah, I just
think it goes a long way, you know. And in
society these days, there are people who recognize it. I mean,
I do it and then it's like, oh jeez, that's
so nice of you. But you can honestly can hear
in their tone that doesn't happen.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
It's just sad.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
But the interesting thing is when you do those nice
things for other people, even though this isn't your motivation, boy,
it feels good. Yeah, it feels It feels really really
good when you when you do something nice for a stranger.

Speaker 15 (51:02):
So I think you just scratching on the surface by
the pace sheet, you know, I think that it's a lot.
It's the broadest subject.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Yeah, yeah, well, thank you so much for you call
Christian thoroughly, Yeah, thoroughly.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
What was I going to say, thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you,
that's what.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Sometimes on a Monday I lose the ability to speak
just on.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
What Christian was saying. And it was something that I
saw as I was driving in and saw the police
had pulled over on the side of the road, flashing
lights and everything, and I thought, oh, man, there must
have been an accident or something. Again, get a bit
closer and see these two police officers who are walking
an old lady across the road and they were pretty
much on the other side. But I thought, that is

(51:43):
awesome to see. Credit to those police officers. But the
fact that they had to pull over put on the
lights to allow this lady to cross the road. Part
of that. I thought, well, where was the normal members
of the public to try and help her across. Had
to be the police officers to pull over and chuck
on the lights.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
I love that. That's old school policing right there.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
It is credit to the police office.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Just after that, they got a cap down from a tree.
The old person paid less for the seat then you
as they have a gold card, so you definitely don't
have to stand up for them. Controversial, very controversial, Caroline,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 17 (52:18):
Hi, Mats and Tyler. A.

Speaker 18 (52:20):
Two years ago, I was working in the Newmarket and
I was traveling on the buses during peak time to
go into work with my guide doc. And what happened
for me was that people on that bus started to
recognize that I was a regular travel and the only
Hunger high school students that were catching that bus started

(52:42):
actually saving a seat for me on the bus. Every
morning I hop on the bus. Here, this is a
seat in space for your dog. And I thought that
was fantastic, and I even thanked them. But I also
went to the extent of phoning the school and saying, hey,
these students on this particular bus are awesome.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
So they went as far as not even just standing
up for you, but in advance keeping a seat open
for you.

Speaker 16 (53:12):
That's for me.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
That makes me feel good about the world.

Speaker 16 (53:16):
It does, and I just.

Speaker 18 (53:18):
Thought, now, if that's our future generation, yes, please.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Yeah, Well that's that's that's that's good to hear. It's
good to hear, it's.

Speaker 18 (53:26):
Having good I never expected a seat to be, you know,
specifically set aside for me, so it felt really good.
But it also felt nice that people that they considered
me doing that.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
That is lovely to hear, Carolyn. Just quickly, Carolyn, have
you do you find that on other routes that you've
got to take a rather public transport that you use,
that people will give up their seat more times than not.

Speaker 18 (53:52):
If I haven't necessarily had to have that situation, because
often there hasn't been that many of people on the
bus where it's really really packed like that. It's mainly
if it's in the peak times or the really the
times that I would find it's busy. But it is

(54:12):
nice that they have that open spaced area. And I
don't know if a lot of people realize that that
open spaced area just behind the driver it is for
people with disabilities, those in wheelchairs or those with service dogs,
and that because there is enough space for us to
be there.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Absolutely, Carolyn, thank you very much, And that's an awesome
story to hear. Shout out to the only Hunger high
school students. That's awesome. Quick couple of texts here, guys.
Currently thirty seven weeks pregnant, can say for men over
fifty years old, one percent hold the door.

Speaker 4 (54:49):
For me.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Under fifty, then it's fifty to fifty. Can't rely on.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
It, right, Okay, So that's that's the line that's been
drawn there.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
So older men very chivalrous, younger men not so much.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Thirty seven weeks pregnant, that's very pregnant. Indeed, yeah, that's
very pregnant.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Out of the seat.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Why just a pregnant woman? Why not every woman? Definitely
felt should just stand for every single woman. Well, what
if there was a professional you know, w W E wrestler,
like just an absolute tank of a human banks that
could that could crust you with a be a hand,

(55:30):
you know, do.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
You make that?

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Do you make that they'll be able to stand? That's okay,
you'd say, miss, I would give you my seat, but
you're an absolute tank of a person, and I just thought,
I just think it'd be insulting to you. Stronger than me,
better specimen than I am.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Peter, How are you this afternoon?

Speaker 7 (55:48):
Yeah? Good? Thanks? How you?

Speaker 21 (55:50):
In regards to your hypothetical question with a broken leg
and the old lady, Yep, it's a damn simple one.
There's not going to be a bust sort of people
with broken legs and then old ladies. It's going to
be only two people.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
That's a good point. There's other people that could take
up the take up the challenge.

Speaker 21 (56:10):
Here you're on in regards to people standing up for
you that it once in a while. Last time I
traveled for about five hours to the West Coast and
an old coal miners general and my wife was pregnant.
Especially the old fellows that would have been in the
late seventies eighties, they got up so we my wife
and I could have a seat, so based Yeah, bit

(56:31):
of curtisy there.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's good people the coasters. That's good to
hear it. Still still a bit of courtesy on the coast,
you don't hear it. Women want equal rights as the sector.
They should stand for the man to be fair. There
was a smiling face after that seat.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
Yep, thank you.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
This is the problem, gentlemen. You can't bloody win. I've
been accused of being sexist when I have stood up
for women and given them a seat. Really, so you
give someone on a seat and she goes, I'll take
that seat, you're dirty sexist? Or do they say no
to the seat. That would be a powerful mood. Play
you your sexist, but I will take the seat, Oh reluctantly.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Also, oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number
to call if you want to see the text. Nine
two ninety two is the text number. Headlines with ray
Lean coming.

Speaker 12 (57:19):
Up, You talk savy, headlines with blue bubble taxis, It's
no trouble with a blue bubble. Police believe drugs or
alcohol could be a factor in a car mounting a
footpath outside Auckland University's Engineering schools on Simon Street, injuring pedestrians.
One person is seriously injured and four others suffered moderate

(57:42):
to minor injuries. Police them are maintaining a cordon in
christ Church's Sydenham as they continue to respond to serious
threats at a Perceval Street property. Auckland City Hospital says
there's funding for another specialist and children's palliative care, but
it's a hard role to fill and there's a gap
while the sole current medic is on leave. Fire Fighters

(58:05):
of Dowster House Fire and Auckland's New Windsor taking under
an r to control the two story blaze. Police data
shows a thirteen percent drop in car thefts in the
Metro Canterbury area in the past year, but proceedings have
almost quadrupled from sixteen in January of twenty twenty two
to sixty three this January. Is Hoskinstituto doing enough for

(58:29):
an all Blacks return? Read Phil Giffit's at full column
It in sid Herald Premium. Back to matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
Thank you very much, Rayleen. What are the rules for
giving up your seats on the bus? It's on the
back of a story in the Herald about a gentleman.
His name is Chris Morams and he found himself been
off at a seat at the age of sixty four.
But love to hear your experiences.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Just a thought. There was a text of four Skim's
context for this text that said I pay for the seat,
just the same as anyone else. Why can't I use it?
This Texas says, just a thought. You do not pay
for a seat on the bus. They are for comfort
and safety. You pay to be transported from point A
to point B.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
It's a very good point. It's a good point from
rich Thank you very much for that. Yeah, and this
one says hi guys regiving up your bus seat. Male
should absolutely start giving up their seat for females, especially
the older ones, as they should be teaching the younger
generation to respect their elders. It starts here, maybe it
will grow further and we can have more respectful children
and society. From Gail on the.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Contrary to that, as a woman says this text, but
please do not stand for me purely because I am
a woman. Stand for anyone that needs the seat more
than you do.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
And therein lies the confusion sometimes is that you know
is it okay? As so me as a thirty nine
year old male on the bus and a woman in
her Are you only thirty nine? Only thirty nine?

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Jeez, you look a lot older than that.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
Thanks mate.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
It's been a tough life.

Speaker 3 (59:52):
So I'm thirty nine. Then a woman who's clearly in
her thirties jumps on the bus and I stand up
and say, hey, you can have my seat if you like,
and she looks at me and say, I don't need
your seat. What do you How old do you think, ma'am?

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
I think it would be weird. Look, I could be
wrong here, and I'd love to people's opinions on it's
nine two nine to over one hundred and eighty ten eighty.
But if you are thirty nine, right, yeah, and you
stood for a perfectly able bodied thirty year old woman.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Yeah, that would that would that be weird? I think
that would be weird. Yeah, that would It would be
running through my kid. I'd probably still do it, But
in the back of my mind it be like she
thinks I'm a real weirdo.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah, I just think that she might think that you're
you're you're making a move, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
And that's why it's so complicated sometimes, is that it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Should be like she'd be like granddad, you say that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Yeah, why is this fifty year old man trying to
give me a give up?

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
And see there is an area on the bus site,
a side for people with disabilities, for people, Why doesn't
the bus driver tell people to move? That's a good point. Yeah,
I mean, god, it's tough being a bus driver, and
they don't get paid a lot, and they go through
a lot of stress and driving around a giant bus
and traffics a lot, and there's a lot of misbehaving people.

(01:01:04):
But you know, and so maybe that's just one thing
too many, just constantly turning around and going, you scumbag, yep, move,
that's the disabled seats, that's the people in need seats.
What if we give bus rovers tasers so they could
just leave lean out with the left hand and just
taser people in the seats.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
On all for that and it goes back to the taser.
But I'd be right behind that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
It's my compulsory daily mention of the taser. Good a
lot of people tixing through. Why would you mentioned tasering
people yet?

Speaker 3 (01:01:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Eighties and nobody call Graham. You had an unfortunate experience
on a bus recently, I understand.

Speaker 5 (01:01:39):
Yes, I did a couple of weeks ago. I'm going
on seventy eight. I'm just able, got gammy leads. Anyway,
I jumped on the silly Lincoln K Road and oh no, sorry,
jumped on the bus opposite McDonald's Queen Street. That the

(01:02:00):
stop there. The bus was pretty full, but there's a
sign up for the disabled people on that and and
wheelchair and that said, and anyway, there was a I'll
call her a young woman at this stage, but because
I'm on radio, otherwise I'd call her something else. She

(01:02:22):
was sitting across two seats that were both close together.
So I said to her, would you mind moving sideways please?
So I consider on that other seat. So she moved
a little bit and I sat down beside her. And
as I sat down, I think I brushed her bit
because she didn't really move all that much. And anyway,

(01:02:45):
I said to her, thanks and that I said, but really,
you shouldn't be sitting there. There's a sign there that
these seats are for disabled people. With that, she swung
around smacked me three times in the head with her
closed first minute. Yeah, blood pouring everywhere and that and

(01:03:11):
she she jumped up and scarped the you know, the
bus driver rang the cops. The cops are right in there.
Luckily there was a nurse on the bus and she
had some stuff and she tended told my bleeding.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Wow, did they find did they find the person?

Speaker 5 (01:03:27):
Graham? Well, the police haven't got back to me yet.
They're gonna said, they're going to look for C C
T footage and all that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
How long ago was that, Graham?

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
Last last Friday?

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Oh my god, I'm so sorry to hear that happened
to you. Graham. That's that's horrender, that is that is
that is so far from etiquette. That is absolutely horrible.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Yeah, well, Graham, hopefully you get some justice in that
situation because that is disgusting.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
A couple of teas coming through Dougie, Oh, douggie here
he said, pregnant women are not disabled. They chose to
be the way they are.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Dug, dug dirty.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
Take Come on, this person says women want equal rights,
they should stand for men. Had a few of those yep, yep.

Speaker 3 (01:04:15):
N two is the ticks number.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
Common curtis, concern for fellow man and courtesy will never
fade like that one. Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
Yeah, one hundred and eighteen eighty is the number of call.
Should we go, You'll get Marie in get it, Marie Hi.

Speaker 8 (01:04:31):
Hi.

Speaker 14 (01:04:31):
Guys, just like to throw a bouquet to the Asian community.
With getting a bus from Waterbury to Blockhouse Bay, the
sun was in my eyes, couldn't when there's couple of
busses come that way. A young Chinese girl next to
me said, which one are you getting? Oh? She said,
I'm getting that one. I'll tell you when it comes,

(01:04:52):
which she did.

Speaker 5 (01:04:53):
She was great.

Speaker 14 (01:04:55):
Got on the bus. It was full of school kids
from town. First person to jump up with an Asian
boy to give me his seat, got off the bus,
wasn't sure which up I was. There were two streets together,
I wasn't sure which one was mine. I a ten
rod street. Young Asian girls standing at the bus stop,

(01:05:18):
see where you're going across the road with me? And
when I told her I was going, she said, oh,
I love the next street.

Speaker 16 (01:05:25):
But I live further.

Speaker 20 (01:05:26):
I'll walk down with you.

Speaker 14 (01:05:28):
When we got got to the place I was going to,
she said, can I give you a hug? And she
said they just so lovely. A couple of weeks later,
I was getting a bus from uh.

Speaker 16 (01:05:42):
God and.

Speaker 14 (01:05:46):
Full of avand college students. Got to my stop. All
the students pushed their way out. One guy got out
tender us and said to me, can I please help
you off the bus, which was a lovely another Asian kid.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
There there is some shell and etiquette, and I mean
it's not necessary chivalry, but etiquette out there in the community.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
There is hope, guys, whether it's the bus or whatever.
Man is Cout was sitting waiting for a blood test
today next to a tattooed young guy who looked like
he had had a bad attitude. An old couple in
their eighties at least are not very mobile mobile. Rather
came in and while there were spear seats, they were

(01:06:33):
only singles, not two together. For the couple immediately jumped
up to make room. I'm a sixty year old woman
and turned to glare at the young guy, only to
find he'd beaten me to it and was already helping
the elderly couple to the seats.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
The perceptions shattered, perceptions shattered. The word is vulnerable, not vulnerable.

Speaker 15 (01:06:57):
Person.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
You're sloppy speaking. Yeah, yeah, thanks very much, Mike. Not mine.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
If you once ever got my pronunciation, it is twenty
to three. What are the rules when it comes to
giving up your seats on public transport? Love to hear
from you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Secondary question just come through on nine to two ninety two.
How come you can be on a bus but not
on a car?

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
Oh, good question. These are the deep questions that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
You get on a train, Yeah, you get on a bus,
You get in the car, you get on a bike.
What else you get on a plane? On a plane,
you only yeah, you get You're not on a car.
You're in a car.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
On a skateboard.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
You're on a skate on a scooter is the only thing.
You get into a car. You only get into a car.
You're in a house and this you're on it.

Speaker 17 (01:07:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:43):
Yeah, so in a house, but that doesn't move. If
you see you're on a house, you're in a caravan.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
You're in a caravan.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
So that's something we'll get to the bottom of us.
That's a key question on top of the other question.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
It is nineteen to three, the big stories, the big issues,
the big trends, and everything in between.

Speaker 4 (01:08:00):
Matt and Taylor afternoons with the.

Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Volvo XC ninety attention to detail and a commitment to
comfort news talks.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
They'd be good after noon, and there's sixteen to three.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
This is really really messing with my mind here. Just
someone sends a text. It's really to raph the conversation
that you get on a bus and you get on
a train, but you get in a car. This person says,
you're on death row, but you're in prison.

Speaker 8 (01:08:24):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
This is deep.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
I think generally speaking that anything you walk into because
you get on a plane, not in a plane, but
if it's small plane, would you get in a plane,
you will still be one. If you climb straight into
a seat, it's in as you get into a carriage.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
I'm in the plane right now.

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
But if there's something you can walk around on to
find your seat, then it's you get on. Yeah, that
makes sense. I think.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
I think that's as good as we've got so far.
We're still going to do some digging on this.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Yeah, but that doesn't quite work for your on death row.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
But you're in prison. Thank you very much. Give those
seat you get.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
On a bus, train, boat, because you literally walk on,
says this texting, you don't step into a car. That's
that's that's a that's a good point. All right, we'll
solve it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
Yep, there we go, Thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
A right, Jan, welcome to the shows. Sorry for the
tour there.

Speaker 22 (01:09:12):
Yeah, no, never mind, roll with that. Okay, it's Monday.
So I've got a good story. It's not about someone
giving up a seat. But my partner was heading to
we're on Wahiki Island, was heading to the racetrack on
Saturday night and to catch a bus, a boat, then

(01:09:34):
a bus. He was sitting on the bus and they
stopped on the bus and I thank that twe I'm
not sure and they ever said, oh, they want to
pay cash, and he said, oh, no, you need hot cars.
He said, oh, we're not from here.

Speaker 17 (01:09:53):
We don't know.

Speaker 22 (01:09:54):
I haven't got a hot cast. Oh well you can
just once and they said oh. And they were only
going from the mart to Skytower, so it wasn't very far.
But they were older tourists and this young guy was
on the bus and said, it's okay, you can crack

(01:10:17):
my card and let them.

Speaker 15 (01:10:18):
On with my card.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Oh that is beautiful water. That's nice.

Speaker 22 (01:10:24):
And I thought it was nice to see. And he
was the young guy, and they were a bit stuck,
they weren't going very far, and he just stepped up
and did.

Speaker 15 (01:10:32):
The right thing.

Speaker 2 (01:10:33):
That's awesome. Jen, did you punch your partner and say
why didn't you do that?

Speaker 21 (01:10:39):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
I don't mean punch in the face, just a little
punch on the shoulder. Glear the weird as well, just
just just a friendly slap on the shoulder. What did
what did you do?

Speaker 8 (01:10:54):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
All right, I'll do it tonight, immediately, take the negative
on it, immediately.

Speaker 22 (01:11:04):
I'll get him thinking anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Thanks you called.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
It's a great story. Ellison. How are you hello?

Speaker 17 (01:11:11):
Good things? Mine isn't exactly concerned with a bus, but
it's a plug for good young people. In Palmerston North,
when I was waiting for a hip operation, I had
a stick and I was in a queue in the
post office, big queue. Young Mary lad in front of
me turns around and says, can I get you a chair?
An Iffie went and got me a chair. In a

(01:11:34):
big qu in aa waiting for something a bike with
all this gear on turned around and said to me
can I get you a chair? And then I'm approaching
a big curve that foot and a half high, and
a young woman sees me, runs across the pavement and says,
let me help you up. That happened all the time

(01:11:55):
in Palmerston North when I had a walking stick. And
the other story I've got is me being a bit.
I'm an ex primary school teacher and I got on
the ferry I was eighty and want to do the stairs.
So I think my French friend upstairs and said I'll
see you in a minute. Went to get in the
list with a young couple with a baby in a

(01:12:17):
push chair, and there were four young people crowding around
the door so we couldn't get in. So I said,
excuse me, you are young and fit, Why are.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
You on this lift?

Speaker 17 (01:12:30):
They all look very embarrassed and jumped down. I got on,
and the young couple and the baby got on all
as well. So those are different stories, you know, about
how you can be kind or not be kind.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing that, Allison. Yeah, hey, someone
has texted through Matt. What you've got there is a
green Eggs and ham popular problem. I would not could
not in the rain, not in the dark, not on
a train, not in a car, not in a tree.
I do not like them, Sam, you see, not in
the house, not in a box, not with a mouse,
not with a fox. I will not eat them here

(01:13:06):
or there. I do not like them anywhere. So yeah,
we have we have sort of ended down a doctor
Zeus whole print.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
WI doctor Zeus's are problem all along? Thank you very much.
All right, we'll wrap this up very shortly, but love
to hear from you on one hundred and eighty ten
eighty your experiences on a bus and whether people give
up their seat for you or what is the etiquette
when it comes to giving up your seat, and if
you want to see the teaching more than welcome. Nine

(01:13:32):
two niney two is the text number. It is eleven to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Three, The Issues that affect you and a bit of
fun along the way.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the Volvo xc N eighty
Innovation Style and to Save Have It All New Talks, b.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
News Talks It Be It is eight two three. When
should you give up your seat on public transport? Barbara
good afternoon.

Speaker 19 (01:13:57):
Hi, many years ago I loved John Wyck and we
I just commute and one night I was going back
very late on last very we always had the regular,
said the irregular seats for the last fearing, and there
was only one other guy on board, and I said, mine,
who was the steward, watched this. I need to set

(01:14:19):
the guy on the shoulder that was sitting there, and
he looked around. I said, excuse me, you're sitting in
my seat the other there was nobody else on board
who believed me, and he should have around and then
he realized I was kidding him.

Speaker 16 (01:14:33):
Father was just crack up.

Speaker 4 (01:14:39):
I want to humor absolutely, very.

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
Very much.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Afternoons, I always offer the seat male or female if
they're carrying lots of goods or disabled, but they need
to use a bus as a bus, not a taxi.
Had a rude Nelson lady who pushed the buzz at
every stop, so the driver had to yell out every
stop to ask who wanted to get off. I hope
that Pacific lady doesn't visit all Land again. Well that's

(01:15:05):
from depak. That's just someone being a dick.

Speaker 5 (01:15:07):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
There's trolling, isn't it if you're if you're pulling it
every I remember when what would happen on my school bus.
You know, on the bus I got home from school,
someone would pull the cord and then point at you
and say that you pulled it, and the bus driver
would send you off. The bus drivers to kick you
off if you'd pulled the cord.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
Part of me loves that. I mean, I feel for
the bus driver, but I didn't. Didn't it was Matt,
get off, Get off, Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
That was a long long trot home because I had
to take two buses to and that was a long
long punishment that one.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Yeah, another couple of texts here, guys, why should young
woman get my seat? I'm a male, and yes I
would offer it to pregnant or elderly, but never just
a female. That to me would be rude within itself.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
To just a female. Yeah, yeah, all right, what about
an elderly female? Did he say elderly?

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
Elderly, elderly and pregnant?

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Okay, I think I think offering it to an able
body woman of your same age, that you know, that's
a nice thing to do, I guess, but it's not
a pre wreck. I don't think you have to do that.
I think I think if if a person, a woman
my age, offered me to see and vice versa as
and they aren't they asking you an undate, potentially if

(01:16:27):
that happened, you hand them your number. I thinks it
works exactly. What about footpath, some group take up the
whole footbube. I've always taught my children to move to
the side. People need to know, thanks Kelly. People need
to know that you have to walk on the left
of the footpath as a as a as a runner.
So I'm often running and hug the lift. You know
where I'm going if I'm like running up a mountain

(01:16:49):
or whatever. All the places I run, you know, not
not a mount everest, but there's ones with roads and this.
People always just rammed on the left, and I just
stated the left, and I come in like a steam train.
I thought that was a knowledge, because otherwise it's a
disaster if everyone's going into the back and forth. But
that needs to be put into people's heads that in countries,
when you drive on the left, you walk on the left, yep,

(01:17:10):
and vice versa. In this you're on and the escalators
and the tubes in London then strangely you stand on
them right.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
Yeah, anyway, yeah, but now we all know that, Yeah,
please run on the lift. That one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:23):
You stand up for ladies and the elderly. Have some
values you two? What's Right's right? That's from chair, Yeah,
supporting it. So I say, standing for pregnant women, stand
for the elderly person. If you're not yourself, don't hold
the special seats up the front. Be a good person,
don't be a deck.

Speaker 3 (01:17:39):
Yeap, that is that's a great way to in that,
I think. Yeah, well, thank you very much for all
your ticks and phone calls on that one. After three
o'clock we're going to open up the phone lines with
a life event that happened to you over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
Man, I'm not sure if I want to do this topic.
It might pull out, but because there could be some
tears on air. But look, it's my son has left
home and he's left a hole and Daddy's heart.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
It's a big moment, right. We may talk about that
coming up very shortly. Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty
if you want to get in the Q nine two
ninety two is the text number you're listening to. Matt
and Tyler. Hope you're having a great afternoon. News, sport
and weather on its.

Speaker 4 (01:18:18):
Way talking with you all afternoon.

Speaker 1 (01:18:53):
It's Matt Heathan Taylor Adams Afternoons with the Volvo X
ninety Youth Talk ZB.

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
Good afternoon to you, Welcome back into the show, seven
past three, and it's been a great couple of hours
and this will be a great topic as well. But
it's something that happened to you over the weekend.

Speaker 7 (01:19:11):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:11):
Before I go into that, I just want to say
another episode of White Loaders out tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:19:15):
Exciting.

Speaker 2 (01:19:16):
Do you see episode five.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
I'm not caught up yet, so I've got some watching
to do tonight to get caught up.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Okay, I just popped up in my reminders. Boy boy,
it's heating up. That's Sam Rockwell speech that I'm still
trying to process that For people that know, they'll know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
So well written though, wasn't it. It is such a
great series. So number six and it's how many in
the series?

Speaker 16 (01:19:38):
Is it ten?

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
I think no, it's much less than that. It might
only be seven. That's a good point. Actually, let's look
look that up. I think it's coming to endgame at
the moment.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
LOADUS season three.

Speaker 2 (01:19:50):
How many episodes and data? Okay, there might be eight.
I think there's eight.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
Okay, so we've got a couple left.

Speaker 2 (01:19:55):
Yeah, eight episodes. Anyway, A lot of people were saying
it's boring and it's too slow. I find the interactions
between people particularly tense, and I just feel this impending
sense of doom watching it. But I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Yeah.
I just wanted to talk about this as a bit
of an issue, and maybe I'm looking for a group
therapy situation, but it's something that a lot of people

(01:20:18):
go through. So my son in the weekend, he moved
out of home. So you had him for eighteen years
and he's obviously been focus of my life. You know,
him and his brother bringing them up, and you know
from all the little ages that they are and then
they're just little babies when you can hold them in
their hand, to you know, the first day of school

(01:20:39):
with the massive shorts and the uniform, to the ups
and downs, sitting on the sidelines of sport, all the
concerns you have for them, all the different stages, the
holidays you've been on, the Christmases, and then eventually they
move out. And I always knew this was coming, that
my son was going to move out, obviously, I mean,
it's a terrible situation. If they never do, you'd worry

(01:21:01):
about it. He's gone into his university hostel. But later,
for whatever reason, then some of the other kids have
gone into hostels. And I was just absolutely blown away
and surprised how hard it hit me when I was
carrying his stuff up to his dorm room and then
said goodbye and left him there. I was just it

(01:21:25):
was like there was a hole in Daddy's heart. I
haven't felt like that. I don't think i'd felt like
that since my mom passed. In terms of just the
intense sadness. It was so weird, and so why is that?
Why is it? How do you deal with it? Is
it just me being weak? And it got me thinking,
you know, it feels like it almost like a grieving process.

(01:21:47):
Even though your kid's there and they're fine and they're healthy,
and you know, it feels like it's just such a
range of emotions some loss. Is it just because that
part of your life is over and you're moving on
to Well, it's not over. I've still got another sun
a couple of years with them, but that's coming and
you're moving into a different stage of your life. It's

(01:22:07):
very the sadness and even a sort of kind of
anxiety about what it is that you are now. If
your kids can look after themselves, then what are you?
If you've defined yourself by being a parent. You know,
everything you do, working your weekends, so much of your
life is focused on your kids and your kids and

(01:22:27):
their well being, and then that focus is going to
be taken away. So how do you deal with it?
Supplementary question? Are we just setting ourselves up for hurt
by being so close to our kids. Is it better
to be like parents of old with they had some
distance from their kids, because we're just so focused on
their lives and we become so involved in everything. Whereas

(01:22:50):
you know, parents of you know, previous generations just sort
of hardly knew their kids.

Speaker 3 (01:22:55):
There was an emotional shield there you'd like to think
to try and protect them from that a little bit.
Oh yeah, mate, I can't comprehend because I am not
a parent, but as you've just explained that they're eighteen
years of raising this little human being, and every moment
of his life you were therefore and your experience with him,
I can imagine that you know now he has flown

(01:23:18):
the coop, as they say, would be an incredibly strange
and hard thing for every parent to deal with at
some stage. You know, they call it the empty nest syndrome.
But I think that is scientifically a moment that does
cause a lot of anxiety for parents.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
But it doesn't make sense because they're still healthy and
they're living their life, and you wouldn't want them to
just stay with you forever. As I was saying before,
why is it such a punch in the heart?

Speaker 7 (01:23:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
Why is it such a smack in the in the
in your perception of reality? Even Matt, it's happening to
me three times, losing your son to university. It's the
saddest day of your life, but at the same time
the proudest. That's nice. Yeah, that's from uzz oh.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty if you can help out.
Matt here love to hear from you and just your
own experiences of kids leaving home? How did you feel?
How did you deal with that? Nine two nine two
is the text number.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Am I just weak? Soft and empathetic And the problem
with our society at the moment where we're just too
focused on our kids and two riding the wave of
their emotions.

Speaker 8 (01:24:27):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Yeah. And also, no one tell my son that I'm
saying this. He'll lose respects for me.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
I'm glad you said it, mate, right And eighty ten
eighty is the number to coo. It is twelve past three,
good afternoon. It is a quarter past three.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
This text on nineteen nine two. Glad to hear your
comment about your son moving out. I'm a mom to
five sons. My baby, my youngest son, has just moved out.
I am just like you, shat it. It's horrific. I
have done a lot of googling. It's actually it termed
as grieving. Just driving home past the bakery, thought oh,
I'll stop and get Fergus a pancake. Then it really
hit no, I won't because he's gone, And I promptly

(01:25:02):
burst into tears. I hate to tell you. It never
gets easier. It's just a form of grief.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
Yeah, thanks Karen. This one's slightly more optimistic. Don't panic, Matt,
kids never leave us. You will start to enjoy the
time of part and when he comes back home nothing
will have changed. Enjoy the moments. And this is a
mum talking from Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:25:20):
Oh yeah, there you go. Don't worry, Matt. They'll be
back to rage. Don't worry Matt, They'll be back to
raid your fridge. Yeah, boy, oh boy. I used to
go back and just basically with my bag and just
unleash cans of food into my bag and leave again,
and the bag of laundry with you. And you know
what the funny thing is, I would I would be
happy for that. I'll stop that. I'll stock the cupboards

(01:25:41):
just to be for my kids to come home and
empty them into their bags. Yeah that's nice, Pete. Welcome
to the show.

Speaker 7 (01:25:48):
Oh hi, hi.

Speaker 16 (01:25:49):
I'm going to fill a situation as you just one
year apart. My oldest boy went down to a tago
last year, and I have one other boy who's in
his last year at school, and he'll probably heap down
there next year. So I had some of the feelings
as you. And my oldest boy is CX, so he
was going down to the walls and how are they
going to cope with loose and free food in the

(01:26:11):
halls and this and that. Anyway, I think I get
where you're coming from. But I mean, domestic flights are
pretty cheap once you get them organized. I guess in
thirst year, you get them home reasonably regularly. I think
he came from home at least three times last year,
which I thought was a bit much. But I think

(01:26:32):
if they've gone down there with a few mates, and
especially a few mates from their school that they attended,
that's always good. And if you can tell that your
kids ready to go, then then I think that's that's
something to feel good about. You know, when you feel
that they're ready, then it's all going, and you know,
and you take a little trip down there. And I'll
tell you one little funny thing. I went down to

(01:26:54):
see them, and I was waiting in reception of the
halls there and the target, and I had a look
on the bench on reception and on the left there
was a box of condoms and that Dan Loup and
it said help yourself. And on the right of that
was a stack of the Holy Bible, and I just
thought that, and I thought that was quite home on it.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Which way are you going to go?

Speaker 5 (01:27:18):
But that's it?

Speaker 16 (01:27:18):
Or you take one of each and hopes and the
best and that that's your little contession afterwards.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
But that's triggering for parents. You're arriving and you see them, yeah.

Speaker 16 (01:27:32):
Yeah, And I think, to be honest, in this sort
of economy we've got, the people are losing their jobs,
it's always a blessing, especially if you've been to union
yourself in your younger days like I have. It's so
important to have an education. So if you've if you've
got your kids to this point of life where they're
down there and getting educated, I think that you can
sort of sit back and quietly smile at yourself. You
know that you've done a good job. So I think

(01:27:55):
you can turn around all those thoughts and you know,
I'm just get your kid home a couple of times
during the year and bring them and seeing a few
cure of your bags, and you know, I think it's
all good.

Speaker 2 (01:28:06):
Yeah, well, good on your pa. And it's and the thing,
it's an incredible experience for kids to go to university
and stay in halls. How are you Because you know
you've been under the you know you've had to do
what you're told for so long, and you know, not
live with your friends, and then suddenly you're living with
an entire building of people your age. That's something you

(01:28:27):
would never if they have Your kids are lucky enough
to have that opportunity to do that. That's something no
matter how much it hurts you, that's something that you
would not want to take off them.

Speaker 4 (01:28:37):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:28:37):
You learn a lot about life in those twelve months.
It's for sure some lovely texts coming through.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
Oh my god, this freaks me out so much. My
daughter is eighteen and is still at home, but we
do everything together. We travel together, even without my husband
being with us, as he prefers to stay at home.
Sometimes I'm dreading the day she leaves home. I have
told her she can always live with us, and when
she gets a boyfriend that they could come and live
with us too. She is my daughter and best friend,
So this really hits home. That's kind of further to

(01:29:06):
my point, because your kids are now friends, and you know,
and people say that with kids, they're not supposed to
be friends. Theyre supposed to be the difference, and there
is because you can't just out order your friends to
do the dishes or so your friends aren't constantly asking
you for money. Well some of them are, some of them,
But because we get so close to them now that
I think, I think it hits us a little bit harder. Greg,

(01:29:29):
you've experienced this, how are you?

Speaker 20 (01:29:32):
Guys? Yere one hundred percent. It actually felt because my
daughter went down to the deed and she went into
the halls. But the first three weeks month it felt
like someone had died, as someone had left and I
couldn't get anywhere near her. She was really was really tough.

(01:29:56):
It was really tough for me anyway, me and my wife,
we were both struggling with it. She's now now, do
you know she's she's now back from UNI, she's embroided,
she's living close. So both for their is month maybe
two months. Oh lord, Yeah, I thought it was just
ripped my heart apart.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
Yeah, it is a stap on it and it surprises
you how much it hits you. It As a couple
of people have said, it's kind of like a grieving process.

Speaker 20 (01:30:25):
Oh exactly, that's how I thought. I felt that I
had lost a very important part of my life and
then someone that was very important to me. I couldn't
handle it. I didn't know how to handle it. And
it's kind of kind of struggle.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
It's kind of your whole purposes, and it's not your
whole purpose, but it's a big part of your purpose.
You've had this period of your life with this is
what you do, and it's very clear, and it's very
focused on your kids. And then you're looking at the
other part of your life and you go, well, I'm
going to have to reconstruct a whole new set of
things and you know, goals now the kids.

Speaker 20 (01:31:01):
One hundred because you know, we were I wouldn't say
that we're helicopter pearance, but I definitely you know, we're invested,
and we invested a lot of time and energy to
support her in her college and is sporting and with
both our children, with given a lot at all the games, everything,

(01:31:22):
just making them a part of our life. Well, they're
a part, they are our life. We're trying to empower
them to be the best that they can be. And
then they go away and you think, what do I do?

Speaker 2 (01:31:34):
What do I do you know, And what you did
was exactly what you need to do. You made someone
that's competent to go out on their own, because if
you did do that, and you would start if they
stayed and they remained being really really dependent on you
into their twenties and thirties, then you would start to think,
I've got this wrong. So the fact that they are

(01:31:55):
willing to go out on their own is kind of success,
even though it's a massive as you say, ripping of
your heart out and being stopped on on the floor.

Speaker 16 (01:32:03):
Painful, Yeah, painful, painful as what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
Well, I hear you, brother, I hear it.

Speaker 20 (01:32:10):
So as yours. Your son gone down now is he
had gone to the halls?

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
Yeah, he's gone to the hall. So that's uh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Anyway, does it get Does it get better? Greg? Tell
man it gets better?

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
Surry?

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Does it get better?

Speaker 17 (01:32:23):
It does?

Speaker 20 (01:32:24):
It does get better. But I think you know, it
takes a little time, you know, and if they have
can make contact with you, it's just like a little
thread of hope that they do still care about you.
But ours was just total well yeah, no contact as
what we.

Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
Do, yeah we do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
Yeah, thank you, thank you for call Greg and all
the best with that this text, it takes the opposing view.
Stop being a pussy Matt, where do you think he's
going to go in eight weeks time for semester break,
enjoy the lower grocery balls.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
Will you can go on, Charlie, Thank you appreciate that.
One hundred eighty eighty is the number to call and
nine to nine two is the text number. We'll get
into more of your funkals very surely. It is twenty
three pass three.

Speaker 4 (01:33:14):
Matt Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons.

Speaker 1 (01:33:16):
Call oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty on Youth
Talk ZB afternoon.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
It is twenty six pass three and we're talking about
empty nest syndrome, if you will, on the back of Matt,
a situation you had over the weekends.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Yes, yeah, my son's moved out. It's normal to feel
that way, but it will pass. It's always a great
feeling to see your kids growing up and starting their
adult lives. Believe me, as far from the end. All
my adult kids still check in for all sorts of
advice or a chat. I still worry about them, but
I'm enjoying the empty nest too. You and your partner

(01:33:50):
will find the new freedoms around the house and the
quiet parts ones like a revival of your youth and marriage.
They often come back home haha, just when you're getting
used to good tear.

Speaker 8 (01:34:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
But I think it's more of an existential thing than
even the logic. So people say, you know, you can
see them, they'll come back and all that kind of stuff.
But I think what it is is it's a realizing
that you have to change your focus. It's sort of
an existential you know, what's what's the point, what's the
next thing, What's what's what's going to provide the meaning

(01:34:23):
in your life? Yeah? Because that because you know, there's
lots of ways to find meaning in life, and people
that don't necessarily have the children might find a different meaning.
But when you've got kids, they become your meaning in life.
And so when they can look after themselves, then your
meaning of looking after them. You know, are you searching
around for a new thing? Now?

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
I can understand that, Oh, one hundred and eighty ten
eighty is the number to call critikes to here. Matt
I had the same experience. Didn't cry when we dropped
her off at Uni, but the minute she turned to
go back inside. The floodgates opened up. Cried all the
flight home. My other daughter thought I was a lunatic,
then cried every time she came home and left again.
Just shows how much we love them.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
The sex is said. The reason why you're concerned about it, Matt,
is because you've been fired. That's true, you've been fired
from your job. That yeah, don't worry about being sad
with your son leaving home. I went through that. They
come home and you'll appreciate, appreciate each other all the more.
Thanks for that, nice mark, oh Marus, welcome to show.

(01:35:21):
How are you very good?

Speaker 8 (01:35:23):
Board Crime River. It's just often wont seen nonsense. We
a brewery rights go to the boarders full of the
first WoT you're never coming home before hollidays. You know
you've got the hand that the repirement thring.

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
It up.

Speaker 15 (01:35:45):
Like this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:45):
This is what I need, Mars.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
I need to be a rackup.

Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
I need to be taken down and I need.

Speaker 4 (01:35:50):
To be.

Speaker 8 (01:35:52):
You gotta because he's going to lead to be a
broke he's got to learn to be with his mate.
Ting it can't have a beer, not worried about the
old man being a woman. Oh, you can't do that.
You can't do that plan to be responsible. He's going
to have the year when he goes and being the
broat and that's here we grow up. We ordered this
and now you were saying a mob bro and you

(01:36:15):
know what you only I'll tell you what you do.
On a Sunday, you come out for who are by
Kevin with me at three o'clock watch the man.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
The have a couple of beers and you won't want
your morey back to shoreation. Go and drink with Morris.

Speaker 2 (01:36:28):
I'll take you out and I.

Speaker 8 (01:36:30):
Can then iss a hole on the bloat to being
with to say without cheering on the kids to stay
at university, taper thing you'll ever do.

Speaker 3 (01:36:36):
But Morris, just quickly, you've you've had a bit of practice,
even't you. Don't you have about thirty two kids from memory?

Speaker 8 (01:36:41):
Oh we've got we've got thirty kids and just got
a new one. So that's some immer fourteen. And all
the kids go to boarding Shoul because we're a commonly
farming brewery, so they all go to boarding Sohoul on
the third fourth and anybody wants that good education and
great life, they go to But you can still go
watch and do the sports. You have them every weekend.
You know, it's not the end of the world in
in I think the biggest thing with children to be

(01:37:03):
why all these two girls are thirty two now they
oughtoped it thirty wants at GP and in Melbourne they've
quite got for themselves. Yeah, And what we tend to
do is getting to Molly Coddlement who fell over. So
what he gets to the picture?

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
Thank you for you call Morris And I think you
know but that I think this is something about parents
today as we also have less kids than Missie Morris,
and you have over a thousand children and a new one,
so maybe you get you know, if you've just got
two and they go, well, it's a bit different than
if you've got if you've got you know, back in
the day when eveone had five, six seven, you'll be like,

(01:37:38):
get out of the house. Yes, Cross, I don't even
know what. I don't even know the six one's name.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Text number is nine to ninety two.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
They met Entyl the Great Show. Interesting subject which currently
is very close to my heart. You're right, man, having
great relations with your kids and giving them confidence to
go out and explore the world ends up breaking your
own heart. Our oldest son headed overseas to live this year.
We were handling the co ka as we have our
daughter and youngest sons still in town. But our youngest
six ten year old and expentively received a scholarship to

(01:38:10):
a tender and sorry a scholarship and has set it
off as well.

Speaker 3 (01:38:16):
Yeah, great text nine two ninety two. Is that number
four wants in the text if you want to give
us a buzz or eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
is the number to call? It is twenty nine to four.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
So I kind of agree with Morris and I think
I'll be fine and I need a hard a nut.
But if I hear the song Father and Son by
Kat Stevens at any time in the next next five years,
then there could be water works.

Speaker 3 (01:38:38):
Right, We're going to line that up. So there's twenty
nine toy four.

Speaker 12 (01:38:43):
You talks, there'd be headlines with blue bubble taxing. It's
no trouble with a blue bubble. A street has been
evacuated in christ Church has Sydonam with police cordon's up

matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Well, today we are talking to Duly from about Health
about nutritional supplements that can help our health. Schuley, Good
afternoon to.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
You, Hi Tyler.

Speaker 23 (01:40:06):
How are you doing.

Speaker 3 (01:40:07):
I am great. Nice to you. Chat is always So
what have you got for the listeners today?

Speaker 22 (01:40:11):
Ah?

Speaker 23 (01:40:12):
Well, if you to someone and there's a few people
that I talk to like this that you know, maybe
you're suffering with a bit of lingering fatigue, your immune
system is a bit sluggish, You've got this ongoing inflammation,
a bit of fuzzy thinking in the mix, and even
some joint and muscle discomfort. You know, essentially your bodies
face some challenges and it's just not back to where
you want it to be functioning. Then we have got

(01:40:34):
some natural nutritional stufflements that might just help.

Speaker 2 (01:40:37):
That is great news.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
So what products and your range are the most effective
for those types of things?

Speaker 23 (01:40:42):
Julie, Yeah, we've got a few that can be helpful.
But there's two standout ones and that is the life
max in ur and the less is Oil Advanced. So
we've talked about these a couple of times Tyler and
how they're good for healthy aging and the ingredients in
these supplements. The way they help with our aging is
basically keeping our oxidative, stress and inflammation levels in our

(01:41:02):
body in check, and that means that ourselves don't suffer
so much damage so it sounds simple, but you know,
basically it's helping support the body's own pathways that deal
with excess information, cell health, new health, and overall metabolock function.
So you know, there's lots going on, and when you
take care of all of that, then you can experience
things like clear thinking, more easeable movement, good energy, and

(01:41:26):
so much more.

Speaker 3 (01:41:27):
All right, so they're really working right down to the
cellular level to deliver the benefits we can feel and measure.
And I'm sure many people will be keen on that July.
How do the listeners get these supplements?

Speaker 23 (01:41:40):
Yeah, you can get these two great supplements. They are
found in the Ultimate Healthy Aging Pack. So you save
a bit of money when you buy them together in
the Ultimate Healthy Aging Pack. Don't just add them to
the car individually. Look for the Ultimate Healthy Aging Pack.
You can save yourself sixty dollars by doing that. When
you order, make sure that you use the code ZB
and you'll get a free bottle of Lester's Nightcap, which

(01:42:01):
of course helps with your sleep, which we know is
super important. The number to call to order eight hundred,
triple nine, three or nine, or you can order it
the website about health dot co dot NZB. Make sure
that you read those labels and take only as directed
about health.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
Aalklan, Thank you, Julie.

Speaker 4 (01:42:16):
It's Mattie th and Tyler Adams And back to.

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
The conversation we're having at the moment about the kids
flying the coop?

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
Yeah, why is it when your kids move out at home?
Does it hit you so hard? Why is it a
grieving process? And are we getting too close to our kids?
Do we need to protect ourselves by keeping our distances
as they get older. I was actually thinking about it
and I've put my finger on it. Because what happens
is your kids move out, they go to university. As

(01:42:44):
this Texas says, going to UNI is only half of it.
Wait till they finish that and want to do an
oe my guild did that finish university at twenty and
got a nanny job in the UK. That's when your
mind starts to worry all the time. That's from Shane.
That's right, because what happens is your kids go away
and they move out when they're eighteen, if they go
to university or whatever they do, ye, then you think, oh,

(01:43:07):
well soon they won't be back for you know, there'll
be a holiday where they don't come back for, and
then there'll be a Christmas that they don't come back for,
and then they'll have their own family, and then there'll
be a time when that family doesn't come and you're
just you're looking down the barrel of seeing them less
and less and less. That's you're not going to be
seeing them more, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:43:25):
Yeah, you're going to have to brace yourself, Mat, I
think over the next years.

Speaker 2 (01:43:31):
Welcome to the show. Hello, are you the a Tania?

Speaker 14 (01:43:36):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (01:43:36):
Sorry about that, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:43:38):
Quite all right.

Speaker 3 (01:43:42):
And Tanya, you're a single one with twins. And they
left pretty close to each other, is that right?

Speaker 24 (01:43:48):
They did? Yeah, they left within two months of each other.
So the last one left the day after my birthday.
I said to her, please don't leave on my birthday.
She didn't. But yeah, I totally emphathize with you, Matt.

Speaker 8 (01:44:01):
I know what it's like.

Speaker 24 (01:44:02):
There's a build up to it, you dread it, and
then they go. I couldn't even to drive home, you know,
I was so upset. But then you look at it
the other way and you think if they were living
in your basement, So they were about thirty or forte.

Speaker 2 (01:44:21):
Yeah, you would feel like you'd failed. That isn't there
the saying that you know if you if you protect
your kids too much and you hold them too close,
then you eventually become the danger because you are they're
not experiencing the world. Yeah, so you know you are
kind of succeeding, aren't you, Tania? If they feel confident
enough to go out into the world on their own.

Speaker 24 (01:44:42):
At a young age, Yeah, will you feel that you've
sold as a parent.

Speaker 8 (01:44:46):
You've done your job.

Speaker 24 (01:44:49):
I think it's like, you know, a monic butterfly. If
you were to hold them in your hand never let
them go, they probably wouldn't come back.

Speaker 8 (01:44:57):
Yeah, if you just.

Speaker 24 (01:45:01):
Hold your hand out, they will come and land on it.
And they do all the time. I have great relationship
with my girls, and I know this is a hard
time you're going through, but really, I yeah, I had
an empty house, but now I love it. I actually
love living by myself.

Speaker 4 (01:45:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:45:20):
Well that's good to know. And also the other thing
is how fun is it to be that age? I mean,
that is just you've got to got to tell your
kids that. You know, there's that famous saying, you know,
the youth is wasted on the young. You got to
have tell your kids this is this is a good
time right now. Spending that much time with your friends
and being out and suddenly not having someone telling you
to the dishes all the time and clean your room

(01:45:41):
and come home all those kinds of things. That that
is a that is a fantastic time in your life.

Speaker 3 (01:45:48):
Enjoy those years.

Speaker 24 (01:45:51):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:45:52):
Yeah, thanks very much.

Speaker 2 (01:45:53):
Unfortunately for kids, you know, late teens and early twenties
just so riddled with emotion half the time, they don't
enjoy it enough.

Speaker 3 (01:46:03):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:46:03):
Life is that lady. I absolutely ripped it up and
had a.

Speaker 3 (01:46:07):
Great time, had a great time.

Speaker 4 (01:46:08):
Nie.

Speaker 3 (01:46:09):
This is a nice text, Matt. When the last of
our four kids left home, it allowed me to become
the only kid in the house. Now I have great
toys and my wife's full attention. Life is great.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
He can there you go, not to here we go.
Don't worry about it, Matt. He'll be back. It's not
all over yet. It will just be different. So I've
already read that text nowt.

Speaker 3 (01:46:29):
But you know it stands yep, Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. We've got full lines.
But keep trying if you can't get through, and we'll
get to more of your phone calls very shortly. It
is nineteen to four.

Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
Matt Heath, Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty Matt and Taylor afternoons with the
Volvo XC ninety to get every box a seamless experience
awaits news talks that'd.

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
Be It is sixteen to four and some great texts
coming through about kids leaving home for the first time and.

Speaker 2 (01:47:04):
The effect that has it on their parents. The stext
is says, pathetic from you, Matt. I used to think
you were tough. I've seen you on fire a dress
as a monkey, and now you're crying because your son's
left home. There's heaps of sympathy and a lot of
abuse on me saying that my son leaving home s
hit me in the heart, left a hole in daddy's heart.
And you know what, both sides is helping me.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
Tough love. That's what you need right now.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Yeah, both sides is helping out. Tell you both opinions.
The stixter says, I must be a bad dad. My
oldest moved out and when we had COVID came back
and he never came back. I generally see him once
a week. It's a pretty My other two haven't thought
about it. They tell me they are never leaving. They're
in the twenties, that they live next door in our rental.
When are they going to get out? That's interesting, Lucy,

(01:47:48):
are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 14 (01:47:51):
Hi?

Speaker 13 (01:47:52):
Yeah, I have four children that have all left home.
In fact, they're all abroad. They're all in their twenties
and one in the late teens.

Speaker 18 (01:48:01):
But it's really tough.

Speaker 13 (01:48:03):
It's really tough. I think sending them away to university
definitely helps, and they come home and they appreciate home.
I finally figured out the way to overcome empty nesting. Yes,
it was to change my career and become a nanny.
And for these three gorgeous boys who have filled my

(01:48:25):
empty nest voys, Ah, you've.

Speaker 2 (01:48:27):
Got you've got new cuckoos in the nest I have.

Speaker 22 (01:48:32):
I am They're like, they're like my own children.

Speaker 24 (01:48:35):
I can I can treat them like.

Speaker 8 (01:48:36):
My own and you know, but what about help?

Speaker 2 (01:48:41):
But what about when they leave? Lucy? You can juste Oh,
this is brilliant, because you're just getting new ones and
new ones and new ones, and there's.

Speaker 9 (01:48:47):
Always new ones.

Speaker 2 (01:48:49):
Kick me out.

Speaker 13 (01:48:49):
I'll be kicking me out.

Speaker 3 (01:48:50):
Smart strategy.

Speaker 13 (01:48:53):
The other the other quite cunning plan that we do
is our house that now has no children in it.
We've rented it out upstairs and we live in the
downstairs flat, so the children can't come home.

Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
It's I see right, So you've flocked them, but we can.

Speaker 13 (01:49:10):
We can go traveling to see them with the money
we earned from the flat. Genius.

Speaker 2 (01:49:15):
You're well done, all right, thank you, Thank you for that. Lucy.
Sounds like you're getting it sorted out.

Speaker 3 (01:49:18):
Yeah, that's a good strategy. One or you one I
think it is.

Speaker 16 (01:49:24):
Are you are right?

Speaker 21 (01:49:25):
Tyler?

Speaker 7 (01:49:25):
Well done?

Speaker 8 (01:49:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:49:26):
Thank you? How are you?

Speaker 9 (01:49:29):
I'm really good mate? And get a gnat's mate, mate.
One thing I would say is and a couple of
texts are referred to it. It doesn't stop, right, it
just changes. And and you know we've had We've got
a couple of boys, both left home went off to

(01:49:49):
university in the first year. Both times something cropped up
you had to sort of run through with solvent, help them,
help them solve it, and go through a problem solving
sort of exercise. One of them went off to one
of them went off to Rhythmandvice came back completely rinsed,
and it was like this, he was like checking little
so the thought the world had ended. And and you know,

(01:50:13):
just talking them through that, having rented hmself a few
times in the past, and and you know, just talking
them through that and how to how to get over
it and what to expect, and it's just a sort
of normal. The other one had a sort of TikTok
diagnosed medical condition that he had sort of sat on
for a year or so, and we talked him through
that and and and sort of gave him some tools

(01:50:34):
to problem solve. And now it's a sort of a
much more sort of adult relationship. We you know, get
on in a totally different way now. So so you've
got all that to deal with and and things will
change and your relationship will be strong.

Speaker 2 (01:50:48):
There you go, all right, it's changed, and you need
it just changes, doesn't it. Yeah, you become, you become,
you become. You're still supporting, but you're more sort of buddies.

Speaker 9 (01:50:58):
Yeah yeah, more mate, more mates now we find Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:51:00):
Yeah, that's cool. Thank you for that. One text A
couple of texts have actually said the same thing. Golf.

Speaker 3 (01:51:06):
Golf brings dad and son. Together.

Speaker 2 (01:51:09):
Yeah, go absolutely.

Speaker 3 (01:51:11):
This text says, oh my god, our daughter left for
Canterbury six weeks ago. She's home soon for a three
week holiday. It gets better. We miss her, the dog
misses her. The cats just get really angry, like it's
my fault. My husband and I keep busy. It's your
next chapter. Hang in there, Matt's as lovely.

Speaker 2 (01:51:28):
This Texas is the opposite. Gosh, Matt, you are such
a worse. When my kids kids left home, they were
on a venture to study and see the world, and
my wife and I were very supportive. Now my daughter
is as communications and promotions man manager for a huge
firm in Australia. On she's working on a nine billion
dollar project in both solar and wind and the Hunter Valley.

(01:51:49):
Young son went to the Mediterranean when he was twenty
and worked as an engineer on supernot yachts. He is
now back in New Zealand working as a project manager
for a large construction company. Oldest son heads up one
of the largest processing companies in Australia. I was very
pleased and happy to support them and not behave like
a massive worst like you. Thanks. Yeah, mate, that's of

(01:52:10):
a hearsh It's not like I've locked him in the basement.
I've seen him off into the world. Yeah, and I
hope he does become the manager of a nine billion
dollar fun That would be great. I'll be very supportive
it exactly. All I'm saying is it surprised me how
much of a hole it lift in my heart when
when my son moved out.

Speaker 3 (01:52:26):
I don't know if this one will help any more.
Matt's interesting that if your child leaves home at twenty
as a pearent for the rest of your life, you,
on average, will see your child for only one more
full year if you see them one week per year
from Peter.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
See, that's what I'm talking about. That's the problem. It's
the seeing them less and less and less, and then
they you know, then they find a girl and settle
down and marry and have kurds, and then they're off
to see their in laws and you see them listen
and less and less. Yeah, and I'm no longer the
most important person in their lives. God damn it.

Speaker 5 (01:52:56):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:52:56):
Nine ninety two is cockoos.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
I tell you, Tyler, that is the strategy you need
in life. They don't ever leave you.

Speaker 2 (01:53:03):
They take and take and take, and then they leave.
Right if you've broken hearted.

Speaker 3 (01:53:07):
We're going to rent this up very shortly. It is
nine minutes to four. Back Beck very soon.

Speaker 1 (01:53:15):

Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the.

Speaker 1 (01:53:22):

News Dogs, dead B, News Dogs, EDB.

Speaker 3 (01:53:29):
Good afternoon, it is seven to four. Just before we
wrap this all up. Now, you mentioned before, mate that
nobody should play cat Stephen's Father and Son as you
just might lose it.

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
