Today on the Panel, Tim Beveridge was joined by Niva Retimanu and Pete Wolfkamp to discuss this week’s most interesting stories.
On the agenda this week was Transport Minister Simeon Brown's $4 billion national fund to fix the potholes, Lotto reaching $50 million, and the Australian Idol winner dividing State of Origin fans over his unique rendition of the national anthem. 57-year-old Mike Tyson is taking on Youtuber Jake Paul in the boxing ring, and was it bravery or foolishness for Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau to come out publicly about her ADHD Diagnosis?

Speaker 1 (00:05):
You're listening to the Weekend Collective podcast from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Had a very good afternoon to you. I mean a
very good afternoon to you. I wish everyone who's listening
you having a wonderful Saturday. I'm Tim Beverage and this
is the Weekend Collective for Saturday of the eighth of June.
We've got a fabulous panel coming up. I shouldn't get
ahead of myself because it might be rubbish, but I'm
hopeful because of the stars that we have on the panel.
So I braced yourself for the fat panel, but just
(00:41):
looking ahead to the rest of the show. For the
for the wonderof Radio Wonder Radio Show. At four o'clock,
Debbie Roberts is joining us from Property Apprentice, and for
five o'clock Catherine Burkett joins us for the Parents Squad.
Among other things, we're going to be having a chat
about actually just the whole thing about mature content and
do you actually keep an eye on what your kids
(01:02):
are watching and at what stage you go. I don't
think that's necessarily right for my eleven year old right now.
Had a moment with that the other day on watching
Young Sheldon Believe it or not, there was a parental
moment of quality time going on. I was thinking, hmm,
I wonder if she knows what's going on there. Anyway,
there's too much information for me. But anyway, welcome to
the show. By the way, we're going to keep keeping
(01:22):
an eye on the Super Rugby. Well, we're previewing that,
the Blues and the Fiji and drew it tonight and
of course a lot of Oh my goodness, Loto, have
you got your your lotto ticket? Anyway, let's get into
it now. Firstly, my first guest, well, what is the
difference between our first guest in the dalai Lama. Well,
he can build a house with his bare hands and
(01:44):
host a radio shirt at the same time. I'm not
sure if the dalai a Lama can do that. And
it's Pete Wolfcamp, Hello, Pete.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Slightly more hair too, slightly more hair, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Think if he grew I think I think that's fair
to say.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Do you think he could grows out or do you
think that's no?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I think it's part of their tradition.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, you ever thought of shaving your head?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That I've done it?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
You have?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Why one of those you know shape for cure things.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh good.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I also did it when I was a kid at
the end of I don't know, maybe third form or
something like that. And it was at a time when
the skinheads were a big deal and growing up in
South Auckland, wandering around with a skinhead not the smartest move.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I was actually gonna wonder if people treated you with
a bit more respective But like that guy looks mean
anyway before we give.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It away, not my wisest move. Look.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And our next guest, she is a newsreader and journalist
from in the Cargo and I can't even I can't
be bothered to say congratulations because she's just signed so
many newsreader of the year, but.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Very I'm going to start stay humbled. Usually when I
come in here on rip roaring.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Congratulations, but as.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Little wee paper here, it's got panelists neither writty. Mana's
a spelling mistake.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Because because when Joe was when Joe was typing your name,
he was thinking of how much mana you have, and
he just got distracted by how much respect and love
he has for you, and he actually incorporated it into
your name.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I was going to say fire him, but no, let's
keep it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, okay, the one what so what am I? What
am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
We're on?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Accolades? How many are I going to get a word in? Eight?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No your toast? So Tim Dower at the Radio Awards,
which I noticed you didn't go to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Actually, you know what, it's nice that you noticed. I
wasn't there people.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It was almost, yeah, confident I'm going to go and
have a beer with Tim afterwards, but I couldn't. But
I did notice that Tim Dower, who's been here at
Stallwater the station, was recognized as well. That's just an accolade,
no outstanding contribution to radio broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Because he has been with zid beev over thirty years
and he's one of these guys who could basically do everything.
He was a fill in host, journalist, news reader, sub editor,
worked on the weekends and the weekdays. He he was
just fabulous man. So it was really nice to see
him recognized.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Absolutely right, How many? How many awards is it? Nev?
Come on twelve? I thought I was No.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Ten ten from the New Zealand Radio Awards and it
was eleven. Last time I had plus a built off trophy.
That's oh yes, sinner in a quantity. I see. I
don't like saying it because it sounds like I'm actually
it would be so big I won't be able to
go through this.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
We should celebrate success.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well done, well done, good on you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
How many have you got?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Zero?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Nobody actually swimming awards?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I did finish in the top six. I did. It
was a final school the BBC Voice and Musical Theater
twice top sex in the world. So you can do
it back in the day. Anyway, Let's not talk about that.
Let's let's talk about yeah, you know, let's let's move
on to fun topics, shall we. Potholes? Hey, I just
the reason I love this is so Simon Brown's unveiled
(05:11):
four billion dollars National Fund. This is a very topical
one for me because I literally have just filed an
insurance claim for hitting a pothole outside of my daughter's
ballet where Ever, since I hit it, I've had a
clunk in my right hand, a suspension about Red Street
was actually in a driveway. They fixed it since but
it was is that a public road? Driveways wouldn't be No,
(05:34):
it doesn't matter. It's still in shore. I no.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, but Simon's not coming to fix No, but.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's on my mind, is what I mean, right, And
I just love this quote from Julian Genter. The single
minded focus on roads will not help New Zealander. It's
not the best way to move people in goods. It's
definitely not the best way to address climate change. What
planet is? She on Nieves?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Oh look this pothole. I was so happy when Simeon
Brown announced this because it's been a long time coming.
I mean there's what what did they have sixty two
thousand potholes last year and that's the highest in a decade.
I really feel for the truck drivers well, and not
just the truck drivers. We've all been complaining even a
little bit Nissantia as I'm you know, going and chugging
(06:13):
along down the road. But like as you said, this
is for the state highways but also local roads. Auckland
is getting the line's share of this money obviously, and
we've got those White Cuttle Roads and Canterbury. But I
mean it's going right throughout the country. But those three
areas are the biggest areas that you need the pothole
repair plan. But I think it's fantastic. I think it's
(06:35):
really really great.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, get the resident builders take of approval.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh look, I tell you what. I was in Toldo
on about two years ago and I finished an event
on the Friday and I wanted to head home and
the weather had start to pack in. I thought, what
I'll do is I'll drive over the hill, hit the
expresswat Cambridge and then it's an easy drive home. And
as I'm leaving, I'm heading up the hill, it's sort
of car on the side of the road and thought, oh,
what a really shitty night to have a flat tire.
(07:00):
Then within ten seconds another car and another one and
it was all of that. It was a whole series
of people coming down the hill heading into Tarrong. It
had hit potholes. I kid you not. I think even
the media report it was like twenty six cars story.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, And that was on the Friday and I was.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Heading up so they burst a tire.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, and the road was just mounts, Yeah, just deteriorating
in front of them. And I mean that's a huge impact.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Yeah, huge impact.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think it's great.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But it's a busy area as well, you know, heading
into to Dunger. I mean there's a lot but yeah,
something has to be done.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I believe that that road's not on the roads of
national significance to be able to look and.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, because it's quite by the way, is there a
better word than munted? Isn't it such a gros? It's munted.
It's not just ruined. It's a little bit, you know,
it's a bit, a bit impinged. It's a bit is
it or damaged? It's it has to be.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Is it Australian munted?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Joe people a quick Google search? What's the etymology of munted?
It's New Zealand. There we go. The speed there is awesome?
Is oh god? I don't know where to start with
the Tapati Mari. I just am fascinated with the fact
that of the number of so the questions around the
(08:16):
private information that was connected during a census and whether
it was used for political campaigning, the party Mari are
denying that anything un towards gone on, But look at
the number of the Public Service Commissioner Heather Bagot has
convened a meeting with this is great, this is stats
New Zealand. The Ministry of Health and Health New Zealand,
(08:37):
Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Justice, Department of Internal
Affairs to Puni Kokiri Ranga Tamariki, the Department of Prime
Minister in Cabinet, the Electoral Commission in New Zealand Police
are also in attendance. Does sound Does sound quite like
a busy little gathering, doesn't Pete?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's that line from Shakespeare?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't know, well to be or not to be.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That's the question. I think he tests too much.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh well, you know the.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I listened to the interview with Hosking during the week,
you know, with the person who is acting for some
of those people that have been highlighted as being the
whistle blowers, and so it just seems and I mean
if this goes back to last year, and I think
the Labor Party had some concerns, it will certainly be
really interesting to see where the investigation takes the investigators.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, it's a hot potato this one. And I mean, like,
as you say, last week, once that story came out
and there were the little we added things on and
someone else was saying something and it's allegations against allegations,
and you know you're really I mean, the best thing
that can be done in this is that they've got
this investigation underway, get it done, because now everyone's having
(09:51):
their say and you can't really say too much until
they know. I mean, you know, their claims, their allegations,
you know. But if you know, if there's impropriety in
here and proper behavior, then you know it's they've got
to find it and the truth there has to come out.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It raises another issue though, around the sorts of investigations,
because there's a couple of sort of open ended ones
that are going on at the moment right involving other parliamentarians,
and there is that sense that these things need to
be expedited quickly because they erode public confidence in the
system as well. And having an investigation, you know, into
the business affairs of a member of parliament that drags
(10:29):
on for months and months and months, that's not good
for the system either.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Absolutely do agree with you.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We need a fast tracker. People are protest about that,
won't they.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, they were protesting to at the moment, aren't they today?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I was really really grumpy when I came to work because.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I upset that people are expressing their democratic right. Yeah,
they get freedom of the society.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
People now right now who aren't living in Auckland what's happened.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, there's a protest on Queen Straight. I don't know
how many people are there, but they close off everything.
There's hundred everything.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
There from one thirty pm and they're marching through down
Queen Street as.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We processing the fast track procedures.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Correct and now we've been told that you know, there's
traffic and expect delays in Auckland City round the CBD
between one well until four pm. And it was a
bit of a nightmare coming in, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It was?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And I didn't listen to the news today.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ah, I'm not that bit of news.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
To tell the listens because Pete and I came and going, oh, yeah,
nice it is.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
We left early.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know what my reaction to it is, Oh, that's right.
The government's fast tracking things. Who there, Yeah, yep, yep.
They haven't won me over on that one anyway. By
the way, look we should I forgot to mention this
at the start, but of course we've just had the
eightieth anniversary of Normandy and last night, following some of
(11:55):
the news stories, I thought I haven't watched Saving Private
Ryan for a while, and so I started to watch it.
In the first ordeal of a scene and actually the
scene where the where he in the future with his
family visit Sarling that I found it actually really got me.
It's something i've such a brilliant film, but god, what
(12:16):
an ordeal it just did me in anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Look, I've been captivated by the content and I followed
a bit of it online and you know, some of
the deeply personal stories, like there's that very well known
story about the bagpiper who went ashore with the Scottish
regiment and then apparently there's a thing. I'm not Scottish,
so I don't know the traditions, but you're not supposed
(12:42):
to play the bagpipes during a battle. But he was
instructed by his commanding officer to play the bagpipes. So
there's that very famous event that happens where he's marching
up and down the beaches under fire playing the bad
pipes at DDA. What is remarkable is his grandson is
back at Normandy now playing his grandfather's bagpipes to remember him.
(13:06):
I feel like crying listening to but there are you know.
I saw one of the veterans who was assisted down
to the water so that he could put his hands
in the water oh far out, yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
And even yesterday seen with the King and Queen Camilla
and they were, you know, at some of the commemorations,
and there were photos and just the videos of Camilla
just turning around and being very, very tearful, and that
got me as well, because you know, it's that full
emotion that has just captured you know, the world really.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But I guess for them too, you know, this is
where that that notion of dying for king and country
would come home to them. You know that it's it's
their ancestors and the traditions around democracy and all of
those sorts of things that these count well tens hundreds
of thousands, millions of men and women died for and
(14:03):
so suddenly, as the king or queen, you're standing there
looking at the graves of people that gave their lives
innocence for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, no, I think it's always worthwhile taking taking time
to just reflect on really powerful Yeah. Right, tell you what, actually,
let's actually tell you what. We might go to the
break early and we'll just regroup and we'll come back
with some more fascinating discussions. This is the week in collective.
I'm Tim beverage and my guests Neva she's won so
(14:34):
many awards she stopped counting seriously, and Pete Wolfcamp.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I've just got to say this though Radio Station of
the Year. That's right, all of us here in this room,
we're all amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Absolutely tell you what did you see? The hordes on
stage didn't take any encouragement to join.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yep, get on, there's a look, it's twenty one pass through.
But back in just a moment News Talks it'd be sis.
(15:34):
I'm glad I waited for that line of the song
because my producer Joe Coglan always has a way of
tying often has a way of tying on the songs.
To the next topic, and welcome back, by the way,
if you've just joined us at the panel on the
Weekend Collective. My guests a Niva Rettio and Pete wolf
Camp and this is the panel. So the next question, look,
the next thing we're going to talk about. So Wellington
Mayor Tori Farno has revealed this been there's a big
(15:58):
story she being diagnosed with ADHD and traits of autism
uh and basically was talking about how it explains everything
and she suggested her work arrangements. All her meetings have
to be about fifteen minutes long and in the morning,
and et cetera, et cetera. And Neva, what was your
reaction to that revelation.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Well, I thought, good on her for coming out and
revealing that she's got ADHD with traits of autism. I think,
you know, Tori Fano is a public figure. The last
twelve months, there's been a lot going on there about
a drinking problem. She's been in the limelight more so
(16:40):
with that than actually being the mayor of Wellington I
think for her to be open and honest is the
best way to go. I think she'd get more respect
from the community and people of Wellington for coming out
and saying that. I mean, it's really tough. I mean
this is the first time that you know, she only
found out about the diagnosis in April. She's been living
(17:03):
with this for forty years and just finding out about that,
so and like, as you say, she's dealing with that
and knowing now she knows how she's going to deal
with that and work more or put more stuff on
in the morning when she's got more energy. And I
think for ADHD in the Foundation and that it's good
news for them because you know she will be able
(17:25):
to work through the stigma around ADHD. And remember also too,
like Chloe Swarbrock as well. I mean she was diagnosed
with adult ADHD and came out with that was that
twenty twenty one. And I think for women as well,
it's not quite know and you know, I mean it's
not so dominant in women as it is for men.
(17:48):
Am I making that up now?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I think it's more common in man. What do you recompete?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Look, I think the fact that she has been open
and honest about disclosing what is going on in her life,
that takes an enormous amount of courage. And I don't
think anyone could say, hey, congratulate on that courage, right,
And I'm being that honest. I'm a pragmatic person. I'm
a ratepayer. If I was a Wellington ratepayer and I
(18:14):
heard that my mayor can only has to cut down
on ours and have short meetings and make sure she
has a nap and things like that, I'm probably not
feeling super happy about that. I just in terms of
you need, you know, people who've got to do a job.
I've got to be able to do a job.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
So I've torn between saying what I think I should
say on radio and a fierce sort of opinion of
my honest, gut reaction. And here's my est gut reaction.
It was just another excuse she may have ADHD. But
I thought I was having a chat with a couple
of at my colleagues today, one who has a couple
of both have ADHD, and one of them who has
on the autism spectrum, and they were kind of outraged
(18:53):
that here's the story being put up as yet another
excuse for the fact that she can't do a job.
What if the counselors, What if the counselors have ADHD,
do they get the privilege of having just fifteen minute
meetings and short sort of sessions. I'm more interested in
people with ADHD who are making a success of themselves
rather than someone who has basically put themselves in the
media and has created a giant stigma around ADHD and ADHD.
(19:18):
And it really bloody annoyed me. And I think the
sooner she's out of the Meryalty the better. Short she's
got her problems and all that sort of thing, But
it's just a story which was more self serving than
really doing a favor for people with ADHD or that
Here's here's why I drank too much, Here's why I
wasn't good at my job. Somebody else. That's how it
(19:39):
came across to me. I just sort of thought, I'm
just over the excuses. I'm inspired by people by stories
where people are a triumphing over the difficulties they have,
and people have all sorts of newer divergence all the time,
and they.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Agree with you too them. I did not see that
when I read that story. I did not see that
as an excuse.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Sort of thing in the big interview and all that,
And I thought.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Now that that's the every one knows that no one's
going to be you know, thinking that you know that
there needs to be excuses, and like as you say, Pete,
I mean Wellington, is that that's that city there alone
has got so many flipping problems and they need, you know,
a mayor who's actually going to get stuff done. They
know that, they absolutely know it. The pressure is on her.
(20:26):
You know, they voted her in prior to everything all
the crept down, so they voted her in. And I
mean that that's up to her now to actually show
the people what she can do, and if she doesn't
do it, well, then vote around. And that's going to
be it, I think.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So I know that's a hot take too, and I also,
you know, I can understand that it's good for people
to come out and talk about these things, but it
just it just that was just it.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Yeah, but you've got to be straight up and I
think and Pete, you're right, because you've got to have
your own reactions to this. And the thing is is
that that if these hours are going to be reduced, well,
you know, and this city is the city that needs what,
you know the most.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
There's a lot of week to do.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
H There's a lot of work and most of me
is a working like sixty hours a week. So you know,
you've got to be all in, all out, and yeah,
we should be running the country and it is.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Look, it's difficult. But you know that's the thing that
there's no one right view of this, and I understand
the view. It's great that we have these discussions about
it as well, but yeah, I just really had this
real reticence about about it. I thought it created more
of a stigma for those people who have to deal
with ADHD and it seems.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Like the official sort of word from loc autism zelanders. Hey,
thank you for coming out. We recognize the courage it
would have taken, We appreciate the raising of public awareness,
et cetera, et cetera. So they from an official point
of view, seemingly they're recently happy with it.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And on elections.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
When a next local body elections is next year, isn't.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It rolls around before you know it, people sticking your
name on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No, no, no, I just I suppose I was going to ask,
do you think she will get really given and if so,
I don't think okay? And if not, would it be
because of what she's declared, which would be not unfair,
or is it based on performance, which is should be
based Every second day there's another water leak in Wellington.
Nobody wants to fix it.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I think she's up against it actually, but that
there's lots of questions about this. Chris Tarring are going
to have there and we've got but we'll talk about
that another time because the big topic on everyone's mind tonight.
I'm going to win. I can No, you've had your
wins for the week. Fifty million bucks.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now I did site you on the rich list in
New Zealand straight away? I don't think so. I think,
do you know what you should do?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
So if you win it and the fifty millionaires you
was in, put it in a like two year term
deposit and come out with all that interest you probably have.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I don't know that I could wait two years? To
be fair? What would you do to him?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Would you would?
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Have you got a ticket? Have you bought a ticket
for tonight?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Is the first caes I have. But on the other
on the other side of the ledger, I will confess
that I think that ten million bucks would be great.
And I'm not talking about for other people. I'm not
going to be jealous and say I don't think other
people should win it. Good luck to you. I think
fifty million might ruin my life. I don't I think
ten Would you be honest? Would you keep it secret?
(23:28):
Sore but you'd have to stay on for a few weeks?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Or what are you getting on your team to posit
at At the moment, tim.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know five percent, Okay, I know it.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I'm working on five point eight percent. If you left
it in the bank for a year. Didn't touch it,
you'd earn two point nine million dollars. See that you're
onto something. Yeah, if you get it, put it away,
lock it into a term to positive.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
No, you know, I'd like to win it all to myself.
But no, honestly, I think it would be really nice
if that went to because it's got to go. It's
got to go. And if it doesn't one, then they
go put it down to the second divisional whatever, and
that maybe it's she spread out, spread out by you know,
divide it by what fourteen people.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I've really loved some of the recent big winners eighteen million,
fifteen often going to syndicates. You know, it might be
a family syndicate, and I kind of feel quite good
when you hear that it's gone to a syndicate rather
than an individual. Not that I would object to winning it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think we do have an envy thing going on.
But look, I like to think it wouldn't ruin my life,
and I'd like to find out whether it would anyway.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
And that's what they say, you know, all the stories
and news stories that I was reading earlier this week
and news money, just remember and this is what the
economists and all the experts money doesn't buy you happiness,
And after I read it, I was thinking, but it
sure would help a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Going to a seminar the other day, she was with
old Sam Stubbs from Simplastique. He we save it and
so he's written a little book about money and stuff
like that. And then you go and as opening presentation
was the reason that money is important is it gives
you choices. Right, The more money you got, the more
choices you can make. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I love that thing is probably I think if
you want it, because you'd have to keep it secret
because this is the thing, the reason, that amount of money,
it's just going to create that permanent question mark with everyone,
you know, whether they're expecting something or why haven't they
done this for me?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I think? It could be really life ruining. So for
that reason I would probably wait for and then I
actually I joked with the other day, you know what,
you haven't answered the question. No, I'm I'm about to know.
I'm about to I said to her, honey, would you
want to know? But what would you prefer? I just
(25:41):
kept it secret and told you in a couple of
months time, and then we could pretend we'd won five
million or something. You pretend you'd want a smaller amount,
and that would mean I'd have to hold off and
buy in the Eston Martin. Yeah. I was going to
say otherwise, because I don't think being the overnight host
around in this. Although I did toodle around on edis
(26:02):
my concert once. I just tell people I was doing
another concert that weeknd.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well before I came in into the studio, I was
over there. I was at the supermarket countdown a Mount
Eden and it was heaving, not for the supermarket but
for the lotto line. It was out the door, out
the door. Yeah, it'll be just so busy.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh well, I reckon it's going to go second division,
struck by about five or six people. There, we go
second division and that'll be a win.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Well, if it's me, I shall shout you a glass
of bloody chocolate.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Besides, I've been waiting for that because you won the
Best News award. But anyway, hey, just before we go
to the break, So the state of origin, right, I
love an anthem story. So an Australian Idol winner basically
has unveiled a new take on the Australian national anthem.
So he's at a State of Origin match, they played
(26:55):
the national anthem and this is what it is. Here
we go.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Then go on Emphy good sory, well time, So.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Just a quick he's basically made it a song for
him and not for the crowd.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
No love it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Do you like it or hate it?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I don't see what the objection is.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I love it. I think you know what. It's great.
It's different. I love that rendition. It's a big country,
Come on, Australia, you can embrace change.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I guess the question is if it's something where you
are expected to give a rendition so the crowd can
sing along, then it's a fail. But if it's going
to be Whitney Houston, where you're so amazing because Whitney's
national anthem.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Oh yeah that one, it's Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's so amazing that it's just you want to sit
and listen to her sing. Whereas is that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
People booing in the background.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Do you think some of them will do?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I think I've listened to that one and I think
it was people booing because it's received a mixture.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I mean, I've got it. I've done the anthem a
few times for the All Blacks going back for years
and seven times. But I don't count. And but like
lever and rewards.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Higher higher.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Anyway. The one thing I spent ages making sure is no, no,
of course not. But you check the you check? I
did you do it in a key and a tempo
that's crowd friendly because for an all Black match, everyone
sings along with that. It's not about you, it's it's
not about you.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's about contextual right. It's not an international right, it's
it's the anthem at a state of origin. Right. It's
an in house performance. Good point, yes, so perhaps you'd
be a little bit more upset if it was, you know,
against New Zealand or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
That's actually a good point. So I think that's a
fair enough point.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm leaving now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I've done my bit, Pete, well done, Well done. Context
I could imagine I can imagine your voice suiting a
n ized country rendition of Australia.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You do say, can you say?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I could go out there and Joseph my Son, who's
sitting there doing his homework, can I sing, after weeping
with laughter for five minutes? He would go please don't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Encourage he'd be in here. He's given the thumbs up.
I think have to hold him back. Don't come in
quite yet, Joseph. But we could have gone to the
break with him anyway. It's looking you know when I
say it, By the way, when I say low that,
I think it's I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I don't think it's awful. No, I mean because they
have been awful ones day with you to get up
and they have a crack at it and they go,
I'm going to bring my own sense of yeah, and
it's just disastrous. I don't think it's that.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But by the way, people in the break, if you
feel like go and look YouTube Whitney super Bowling. I
that wa mg, phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Will go for big pipe on Normandy beach Away.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Actually don't do mek Yeah, okay, it's twenty it's twenty
to four. We're going to take my moment for a
cup of teena lie down, and NIVA's going to go
off and counter rewards and that's going to take it
at least two. Oh no, that's my stop at Jones
turtle off.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Shadow him so she's so hot and fast.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
He sticks to the heaves and lace that she and
that shyly.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Nothing that but I think you'll come into fad.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That is that? That is quite. That's quite the tune
they to come out of the break with. Isn't that? Hi?
This is the Weekend Collector And I'm Tim Beveridge and Pete. Sorry,
couldn't hear that you were talking?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
No, no, I'm talking with that microphone on. Who would
have thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Pete that way?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I quite liked this story. The operators of a tourism
park in China I said they've made a small enhancement
during the dry season. So this hiker decided to go
up and find the source of the waterfall. It's like
how this water's coming out of a pipe.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
They built its pipe testing into the rock.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Face so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile.
When the waterfall's not going well, it has worked for them.
It's The video revealing the pipe has been viewed twenty
four million times.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
But isn't it a little bit like you know, taking
dogs and painting them to look like pandas and then going, oh,
they're actually pander dogs In the hope that some.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
That's coming out of a pipe and think, oh, I
think it's do you think it's incredibly dishonest? It's but
if you hiked up the oh, I'd rather see through
the pipe than nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know, now if you were the guy who discovered
the pipe, would it would make your day? But you know,
all it makes me say is people, if you want
to see some beautiful waterfalls, come to New Zealand and
go to Doubtful Sound.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Melford Sounds were goodness, say oh.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yeah, Carrington, just over here by Carrington, you need to take
over there the Oakley Creek as a waterfall.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You go for a walk after the show and can
check it out. Actually, it does remind me when Joseph's
telling Pete it's a pipe. It's not he's been naughty. Hey.
I went to Doubtful Sound a year and a half
ago in summer. We went down, went right down to
town and all that sort of thing, and it had
been quite dry. But we went to go for the
Doubtful Sound trip on the boat and we didn't know
(32:45):
it had been dry and the waterfalls went't going. But
so as we arrived they were telling us, oh it's
you know, you might not see the waterfall action and
it started raining as we were getting on board the boat,
and we took the trip out and as we were
going out, the waterfalls just sprang into life, and it
was amazing, phenomenal. But just to have seen them, well,
they're remote control, going right.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Trying to turn them on.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Sacrilege, Peter, Peter, Absolutely sacrilege. Anyway, I love I love
a lousy tourist attraction. As though, have you ever been
to any tourist attractions where you've expected a lot and
you've been like that was a bit disappointing, because the
one I've heard about is if you go in peak
season and go to the Trivy Fountain, there's just so
many tourists. That's just a revolting malee of people.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I didn't even when I was in Rome, that was
I didn't go there. No, I didn't want to, but
all my other friends will go. We've got to go,
and I went, oh Na.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm a big fan of I'm of being a tourist
in the office. Not never go anywhere in the peak season.
Always just find the sort of off fish season and
away you go and get up early. Yes, that's the
key to it.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I love it when you know, because if you're traveling,
sometimes your body clocks all up the whack. And so
it's a couple of years ago we were in London.
I got up and thought I'll go for a nice
long walk. Didn't even know. And then I'm walking through
Hyde Park and I'm thinking it's really quiet, you know,
for a really big city. In the son had come up.
It was like five o'clock in the morning or something
like that. Just stunning. Yeah, cross go around Buckingham, Pallas,
(34:11):
see the horse guards out there training in the morning,
and then back it was just stunning, get up early,
go for all.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
We were the same one. My wife and I first
went to Paris back at just after we got married,
and we woke up sort of late and we're like,
oh my goodness, honey, it's note a lot. We've got
to get rattling. And so we got out the door
and we were walking along the Seine and we didn't
see anyone. What is going on? And it might have
also been a public holiday as well, but literally at
(34:37):
nine o'clock, nothing was at a nine am and then
nine point thirty quarter to ten bit of action, ten o'clock,
bomb boom the sea.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Well that's the problem because I did the Paris Marathon
about seven or eight years ago. Just throw that in
there back of my running.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
A word for that.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Somebody introduced me the other day. That's no, it's something
that the humble brag. It's a double no. No. It's
a word that I had to google it. But you
carry on. Tell them.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
I was there with about ten other runners. I came last,
but I well, no, I would push the Paris yes,
officially last, because I'm not a fast runner, but it
would just so that I would just get to the
end and it would take me like six hours. I'd
be there all day. But I loved it because I
could see all the sights. But because we were we
were New Zealand runners, and we were used to getting
(35:26):
up early. We'd like to have our breakfast at about
five or six am in the morning and then would
go for a run, and we're at the hotel and
then we would you know, walk around to the city
and because you know what Paris is like, they don't
open the city until ten or eleven am, and they
have their dinner too late, at about ten pm. And
we found that I found that really hard. I found
(35:47):
that really difficult. I love it. Oh, No, I like
to eat it about five or six pence.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I just did not like it in Paris.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
That program Emily in Paris, it was so true. And
she turns up to the office and she's standing there
and the boss turns up. She goes, who are you?
And she's like, I mean when I have comes to
tap work. She says, what are you doing here so early?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Such a free story?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Hey, by the way, what you just did? Then about
you know, you run the marathon in Paris. It's a flex,
that's what you did. It's called a flex. Yeah, somebody
said that to me that I must have been boasting.
She goes, that's a flex. I was like, what's I
need to go and google that. It's a flex. It's
when you just drop a little thing in the eye.
By the way. Oh yeah, it's like it's like I
got slightly injured when I was doing my thousandths pressure
(36:29):
or something like that I was doing. I was doing
one hundred pull ups and I got a little twins.
It's like it's basically a humble boast. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Well, I have run eight marathons around the world. That's
another flex.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
No, that's just downright bragging. What a show off? Awards
thirty more than marathons.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I need to balance out the awards in the marathons, Like,
is there room to do a couple of marathons to
catch Telly?
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Oh, I never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Stopped entering awards. Yeah, I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, we can discuss this in the break, I think anyway,
it's it's ten minutes to four. The news talk's in me. Yes,
welcome back to the Weekend collected with This is the
(37:21):
panel Tim Beverage, My panelists Neva Retty, Marno and Pete
wolf Camp. God, you can't shut the mup. Actually, I've
worked out which has been a lively parent.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
To catch up on. We don't each other.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
We don't see each other because I'm on the weekday
and pizza weekends, and we've just been chit chatting. It's
the first time I've been peaking a couple.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Of years, and it's been lovely. I love a good
chit chat. Now, just quickly, would you step in the
ring with Mike Tyson or Jake Paul for twenty million?
So Mike Tyson, he's fifty seven, He's going to fight
YouTuber Jake Paul twenty seven, who is twenty seven twenty
million bucks. Apparently, I don't know. Fifty is too old?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Tyson?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Is he too old?
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Too old?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
It's kind of like around our age.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
But I was saying, I feel bad about punching somebody's
younger than me shoes.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Actually would you? Would you actually go and do something
like that, even though you're probably going to get punched
around the ring a few times?
Speaker 5 (38:12):
How much is it would it be worth?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Twenty oh?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
To be fair? As a kid, I used to box.
I had a friend of ours was in fact Dutch
Army well toweight champion or something like that, Hoop Craanes.
He lived around the corner from us, and so for
about a year and a half I think I used
to train with him.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Wolf Camps, Wow, can you still throw a punch?
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I wouldn't have a clue a long time.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
For a long time. I want to know what the
last time was.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
It was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
But oh, you'd be great celebrity. Well if they do
that celebrity about it boxing Matt he's the resident building
now the resident boxer. It's Pete wolf Camp.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It's a crazy amount I'd pay to see that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I'd be more interested in watching you box than Mike Tyson. Anyway. Hey,
you've got you've got your your your boys.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Here sitting out there doing his homework and we were
just chatting. And so n y T, which is National
Youth Theater, are doing a production of Josephs and Joseph
and Technical dream Coat starts on I think the nineteenth
of June, so no, twentieth, twentieth, twenty first, twenty second
of June, twenty third, something like that. Tickets online. It's look,
(39:21):
they do a great job, and it's this is a
whole bunch of kids, like we're talking to playing Joseph

be playing not Joseph but Pharaoh.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Cool I wandering along.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Quite a good performer too.
Speaker 3 (39:38):

No, no, no, actually love it.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
No, that is that That is the proud father holding
back because.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I think I might come along because I've got three
annual leave days and it's rather time Saturday. There you go,
there you go, Hey, I this is a bit of
Joseph to take us out singing.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Tim No, it's not have you ever done Joseph.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
You must have done that your years, your vast now
that Jesus Christ Superstar is the closest I got to
the religious medical which is pretty religious.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
And what role did you play, Peter?
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Oh oh wow, that's going back, that's going back a
few years now. Anyway, Hey, guys, thank you so much.
Nice resident builder.
Speaker 3 (40:29):

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Exactly, and you'll hear Neva all the time as the
award win one radio show.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Next.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
For more from the Weekend Collective, listen live to news
Talks it'd be weekends from three pm, or follow the
podcast on iHeartRadio
You're listening to the Weekend Collective podcast from News Talk SEDB.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Had a very good afternoon to you. I mean a
very good afternoon to you. I wish everyone who's listening
you having a wonderful Saturday. I'm Tim Beverage and this
is the Weekend Collective for Saturday of the eighth of June.
We've got a fabulous panel coming up. I shouldn't get
ahead of myself because it might be rubbish, but I'm
hopeful because of the stars that we have on the panel.
So I braced yourself for the fat panel, but just
(00:41):
looking ahead to the rest of the show. For the
for the wonderof Radio Wonder Radio Show. At four o'clock,
Debbie Roberts is joining us from Property Apprentice, and for
five o'clock Catherine Burkett joins us for the Parents Squad.
Among other things, we're going to be having a chat
about actually just the whole thing about mature content and
do you actually keep an eye on what your kids
(01:02):
are watching and at what stage you go. I don't
think that's necessarily right for my eleven year old right now.
Had a moment with that the other day on watching
Young Sheldon Believe it or not, there was a parental
moment of quality time going on. I was thinking, hmm,
I wonder if she knows what's going on there. Anyway,
there's too much information for me. But anyway, welcome to
the show. By the way, we're going to keep keeping
(01:22):
an eye on the Super Rugby. Well, we're previewing that,
the Blues and the Fiji and drew it tonight and
of course a lot of Oh my goodness, Loto, have
you got your your lotto ticket? Anyway, let's get into
it now. Firstly, my first guest, well, what is the
difference between our first guest in the dalai Lama. Well,
he can build a house with his bare hands and
(01:44):
host a radio shirt at the same time. I'm not
sure if the dalai a Lama can do that. And
it's Pete Wolfcamp, Hello, Pete.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Slightly more hair too, slightly more hair, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Think if he grew I think I think that's fair
to say.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Do you think he could grows out or do you
think that's no?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I think it's part of their tradition.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, you ever thought of shaving your head?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
That I've done it?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
You have?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Why one of those you know shape for cure things.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh good.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I also did it when I was a kid at
the end of I don't know, maybe third form or
something like that. And it was at a time when
the skinheads were a big deal and growing up in
South Auckland, wandering around with a skinhead not the smartest move.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I was actually gonna wonder if people treated you with
a bit more respective But like that guy looks mean
anyway before we give.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It away, not my wisest move. Look.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And our next guest, she is a newsreader and journalist
from in the Cargo and I can't even I can't
be bothered to say congratulations because she's just signed so
many newsreader of the year, but.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Very I'm going to start stay humbled. Usually when I
come in here on rip roaring.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Congratulations, but as.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Little wee paper here, it's got panelists neither writty. Mana's
a spelling mistake.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Because because when Joe was when Joe was typing your name,
he was thinking of how much mana you have, and
he just got distracted by how much respect and love
he has for you, and he actually incorporated it into
your name.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I was going to say fire him, but no, let's
keep it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Okay, okay, the one what so what am I? What
am I talking about?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
We're on?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Accolades? How many are I going to get a word in? Eight?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
No your toast? So Tim Dower at the Radio Awards,
which I noticed you didn't go to.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Actually, you know what, it's nice that you noticed. I
wasn't there people.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It was almost, yeah, confident I'm going to go and
have a beer with Tim afterwards, but I couldn't. But
I did notice that Tim Dower, who's been here at
Stallwater the station, was recognized as well. That's just an accolade,
no outstanding contribution to radio broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Because he has been with zid beev over thirty years
and he's one of these guys who could basically do everything.
He was a fill in host, journalist, news reader, sub editor,
worked on the weekends and the weekdays. He he was
just fabulous man. So it was really nice to see
him recognized.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Absolutely right, How many? How many awards is it? Nev?
Come on twelve? I thought I was No.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Ten ten from the New Zealand Radio Awards and it
was eleven. Last time I had plus a built off trophy.
That's oh yes, sinner in a quantity. I see. I
don't like saying it because it sounds like I'm actually
it would be so big I won't be able to
go through this.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
We should celebrate success.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well done, well done, good on you.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
How many have you got?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Zero?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Nobody actually swimming awards?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I did finish in the top six. I did. It
was a final school the BBC Voice and Musical Theater
twice top sex in the world. So you can do
it back in the day. Anyway, Let's not talk about that.
Let's let's talk about yeah, you know, let's let's move
on to fun topics, shall we. Potholes? Hey, I just
the reason I love this is so Simon Brown's unveiled
(05:11):
four billion dollars National Fund. This is a very topical
one for me because I literally have just filed an
insurance claim for hitting a pothole outside of my daughter's
ballet where Ever, since I hit it, I've had a
clunk in my right hand, a suspension about Red Street
was actually in a driveway. They fixed it since but
it was is that a public road? Driveways wouldn't be No,
(05:34):
it doesn't matter. It's still in shore. I no.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, but Simon's not coming to fix No, but.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It's on my mind, is what I mean, right, And
I just love this quote from Julian Genter. The single
minded focus on roads will not help New Zealander. It's
not the best way to move people in goods. It's
definitely not the best way to address climate change. What
planet is? She on Nieves?
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Oh look this pothole. I was so happy when Simeon
Brown announced this because it's been a long time coming.
I mean there's what what did they have sixty two
thousand potholes last year and that's the highest in a decade.
I really feel for the truck drivers well, and not
just the truck drivers. We've all been complaining even a
little bit Nissantia as I'm you know, going and chugging
(06:13):
along down the road. But like as you said, this
is for the state highways but also local roads. Auckland
is getting the line's share of this money obviously, and
we've got those White Cuttle Roads and Canterbury. But I
mean it's going right throughout the country. But those three
areas are the biggest areas that you need the pothole
repair plan. But I think it's fantastic. I think it's
(06:35):
really really great.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, get the resident builders take of approval.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Oh look, I tell you what. I was in Toldo
on about two years ago and I finished an event
on the Friday and I wanted to head home and
the weather had start to pack in. I thought, what
I'll do is I'll drive over the hill, hit the
expresswat Cambridge and then it's an easy drive home. And
as I'm leaving, I'm heading up the hill, it's sort
of car on the side of the road and thought, oh,
what a really shitty night to have a flat tire.
(07:00):
Then within ten seconds another car and another one and
it was all of that. It was a whole series
of people coming down the hill heading into Tarrong. It
had hit potholes. I kid you not. I think even
the media report it was like twenty six cars story.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, And that was on the Friday and I was.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Heading up so they burst a tire.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, and the road was just mounts, Yeah, just deteriorating
in front of them. And I mean that's a huge impact.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Yeah, huge impact.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think it's great.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
But it's a busy area as well, you know, heading
into to Dunger. I mean there's a lot but yeah,
something has to be done.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I believe that that road's not on the roads of
national significance to be able to look and.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, because it's quite by the way, is there a
better word than munted? Isn't it such a gros? It's munted.
It's not just ruined. It's a little bit, you know,
it's a bit, a bit impinged. It's a bit is
it or damaged? It's it has to be.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Is it Australian munted?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Joe people a quick Google search? What's the etymology of munted?
It's New Zealand. There we go. The speed there is awesome?
Is oh god? I don't know where to start with
the Tapati Mari. I just am fascinated with the fact
that of the number of so the questions around the
(08:16):
private information that was connected during a census and whether
it was used for political campaigning, the party Mari are
denying that anything un towards gone on, But look at
the number of the Public Service Commissioner Heather Bagot has
convened a meeting with this is great, this is stats
New Zealand. The Ministry of Health and Health New Zealand,
(08:37):
Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Justice, Department of Internal
Affairs to Puni Kokiri Ranga Tamariki, the Department of Prime
Minister in Cabinet, the Electoral Commission in New Zealand Police
are also in attendance. Does sound Does sound quite like
a busy little gathering, doesn't Pete?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What's that line from Shakespeare?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't know, well to be or not to be.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
That's the question. I think he tests too much.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh well, you know the.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I listened to the interview with Hosking during the week,
you know, with the person who is acting for some
of those people that have been highlighted as being the
whistle blowers, and so it just seems and I mean
if this goes back to last year, and I think
the Labor Party had some concerns, it will certainly be
really interesting to see where the investigation takes the investigators.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, it's a hot potato this one. And I mean, like,
as you say, last week, once that story came out
and there were the little we added things on and
someone else was saying something and it's allegations against allegations,
and you know you're really I mean, the best thing
that can be done in this is that they've got
this investigation underway, get it done, because now everyone's having
(09:51):
their say and you can't really say too much until
they know. I mean, you know, their claims, their allegations,
you know. But if you know, if there's impropriety in
here and proper behavior, then you know it's they've got
to find it and the truth there has to come out.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
It raises another issue though, around the sorts of investigations,
because there's a couple of sort of open ended ones
that are going on at the moment right involving other parliamentarians,
and there is that sense that these things need to
be expedited quickly because they erode public confidence in the
system as well. And having an investigation, you know, into
the business affairs of a member of parliament that drags
(10:29):
on for months and months and months, that's not good
for the system either.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Absolutely do agree with you.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We need a fast tracker. People are protest about that,
won't they.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Well, they were protesting to at the moment, aren't they today?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I was really really grumpy when I came to work because.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I upset that people are expressing their democratic right. Yeah,
they get freedom of the society.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
People now right now who aren't living in Auckland what's happened.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, there's a protest on Queen Straight. I don't know
how many people are there, but they close off everything.
There's hundred everything.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
There from one thirty pm and they're marching through down
Queen Street as.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We processing the fast track procedures.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Correct and now we've been told that you know, there's
traffic and expect delays in Auckland City round the CBD
between one well until four pm. And it was a
bit of a nightmare coming in, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It was?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
And I didn't listen to the news today.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ah, I'm not that bit of news.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
To tell the listens because Pete and I came and going, oh, yeah,
nice it is.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
We left early.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You know what my reaction to it is, Oh, that's right.
The government's fast tracking things. Who there, Yeah, yep, yep.
They haven't won me over on that one anyway. By
the way, look we should I forgot to mention this
at the start, but of course we've just had the
eightieth anniversary of Normandy and last night, following some of
(11:55):
the news stories, I thought I haven't watched Saving Private
Ryan for a while, and so I started to watch it.
In the first ordeal of a scene and actually the
scene where the where he in the future with his
family visit Sarling that I found it actually really got me.
It's something i've such a brilliant film, but god, what
(12:16):
an ordeal it just did me in anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Look, I've been captivated by the content and I followed
a bit of it online and you know, some of
the deeply personal stories, like there's that very well known
story about the bagpiper who went ashore with the Scottish
regiment and then apparently there's a thing. I'm not Scottish,
so I don't know the traditions, but you're not supposed
(12:42):
to play the bagpipes during a battle. But he was
instructed by his commanding officer to play the bagpipes. So
there's that very famous event that happens where he's marching
up and down the beaches under fire playing the bad
pipes at DDA. What is remarkable is his grandson is
back at Normandy now playing his grandfather's bagpipes to remember him.
(13:06):
I feel like crying listening to but there are you know.
I saw one of the veterans who was assisted down
to the water so that he could put his hands
in the water oh far out, yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
And even yesterday seen with the King and Queen Camilla
and they were, you know, at some of the commemorations,
and there were photos and just the videos of Camilla
just turning around and being very, very tearful, and that
got me as well, because you know, it's that full
emotion that has just captured you know, the world really.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
But I guess for them too, you know, this is
where that that notion of dying for king and country
would come home to them. You know that it's it's
their ancestors and the traditions around democracy and all of
those sorts of things that these count well tens hundreds
of thousands, millions of men and women died for and
(14:03):
so suddenly, as the king or queen, you're standing there
looking at the graves of people that gave their lives
innocence for you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, no, I think it's always worthwhile taking taking time
to just reflect on really powerful Yeah. Right, tell you what, actually,
let's actually tell you what. We might go to the
break early and we'll just regroup and we'll come back
with some more fascinating discussions. This is the week in collective.
I'm Tim beverage and my guests Neva she's won so
(14:34):
many awards she stopped counting seriously, and Pete Wolfcamp.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I've just got to say this though Radio Station of
the Year. That's right, all of us here in this room,
we're all amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Absolutely tell you what did you see? The hordes on
stage didn't take any encouragement to join.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yep, get on, there's a look, it's twenty one pass through.
But back in just a moment News Talks it'd be sis.
(15:34):
I'm glad I waited for that line of the song
because my producer Joe Coglan always has a way of
tying often has a way of tying on the songs.
To the next topic, and welcome back, by the way,
if you've just joined us at the panel on the
Weekend Collective. My guests a Niva Rettio and Pete wolf
Camp and this is the panel. So the next question, look,
the next thing we're going to talk about. So Wellington
Mayor Tori Farno has revealed this been there's a big
(15:58):
story she being diagnosed with ADHD and traits of autism
uh and basically was talking about how it explains everything
and she suggested her work arrangements. All her meetings have
to be about fifteen minutes long and in the morning,
and et cetera, et cetera. And Neva, what was your
reaction to that revelation.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Well, I thought, good on her for coming out and
revealing that she's got ADHD with traits of autism. I think,
you know, Tori Fano is a public figure. The last
twelve months, there's been a lot going on there about
a drinking problem. She's been in the limelight more so
(16:40):
with that than actually being the mayor of Wellington I
think for her to be open and honest is the
best way to go. I think she'd get more respect
from the community and people of Wellington for coming out
and saying that. I mean, it's really tough. I mean
this is the first time that you know, she only
found out about the diagnosis in April. She's been living
(17:03):
with this for forty years and just finding out about that,
so and like, as you say, she's dealing with that
and knowing now she knows how she's going to deal
with that and work more or put more stuff on
in the morning when she's got more energy. And I
think for ADHD in the Foundation and that it's good
news for them because you know she will be able
(17:25):
to work through the stigma around ADHD. And remember also too,
like Chloe Swarbrock as well. I mean she was diagnosed
with adult ADHD and came out with that was that
twenty twenty one. And I think for women as well,
it's not quite know and you know, I mean it's
not so dominant in women as it is for men.
(17:48):
Am I making that up now?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I think it's more common in man. What do you recompete?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Look, I think the fact that she has been open
and honest about disclosing what is going on in her life,
that takes an enormous amount of courage. And I don't
think anyone could say, hey, congratulate on that courage, right,
And I'm being that honest. I'm a pragmatic person. I'm
a ratepayer. If I was a Wellington ratepayer and I
(18:14):
heard that my mayor can only has to cut down
on ours and have short meetings and make sure she
has a nap and things like that, I'm probably not
feeling super happy about that. I just in terms of
you need, you know, people who've got to do a job.
I've got to be able to do a job.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
So I've torn between saying what I think I should
say on radio and a fierce sort of opinion of
my honest, gut reaction. And here's my est gut reaction.
It was just another excuse she may have ADHD. But
I thought I was having a chat with a couple
of at my colleagues today, one who has a couple
of both have ADHD, and one of them who has
on the autism spectrum, and they were kind of outraged
(18:53):
that here's the story being put up as yet another
excuse for the fact that she can't do a job.
What if the counselors, What if the counselors have ADHD,
do they get the privilege of having just fifteen minute
meetings and short sort of sessions. I'm more interested in
people with ADHD who are making a success of themselves
rather than someone who has basically put themselves in the
media and has created a giant stigma around ADHD and ADHD.
(19:18):
And it really bloody annoyed me. And I think the
sooner she's out of the Meryalty the better. Short she's
got her problems and all that sort of thing, But
it's just a story which was more self serving than
really doing a favor for people with ADHD or that
Here's here's why I drank too much, Here's why I
wasn't good at my job. Somebody else. That's how it
(19:39):
came across to me. I just sort of thought, I'm
just over the excuses. I'm inspired by people by stories
where people are a triumphing over the difficulties they have,
and people have all sorts of newer divergence all the time,
and they.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
Agree with you too them. I did not see that
when I read that story. I did not see that
as an excuse.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Sort of thing in the big interview and all that,
And I thought.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Now that that's the every one knows that no one's
going to be you know, thinking that you know that
there needs to be excuses, and like as you say, Pete,
I mean Wellington, is that that's that city there alone
has got so many flipping problems and they need, you know,
a mayor who's actually going to get stuff done. They
know that, they absolutely know it. The pressure is on her.
(20:26):
You know, they voted her in prior to everything all
the crept down, so they voted her in. And I
mean that that's up to her now to actually show
the people what she can do, and if she doesn't
do it, well, then vote around. And that's going to
be it, I think.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
So I know that's a hot take too, and I also,
you know, I can understand that it's good for people
to come out and talk about these things, but it
just it just that was just it.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Yeah, but you've got to be straight up and I
think and Pete, you're right, because you've got to have
your own reactions to this. And the thing is is
that that if these hours are going to be reduced, well,
you know, and this city is the city that needs what,
you know the most.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
There's a lot of week to do.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
H There's a lot of work and most of me
is a working like sixty hours a week. So you know,
you've got to be all in, all out, and yeah,
we should be running the country and it is.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Look, it's difficult. But you know that's the thing that
there's no one right view of this, and I understand
the view. It's great that we have these discussions about
it as well, but yeah, I just really had this
real reticence about about it. I thought it created more
of a stigma for those people who have to deal
with ADHD and it seems.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Like the official sort of word from loc autism zelanders. Hey,
thank you for coming out. We recognize the courage it
would have taken, We appreciate the raising of public awareness,
et cetera, et cetera. So they from an official point
of view, seemingly they're recently happy with it.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And on elections.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
When a next local body elections is next year, isn't.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
It rolls around before you know it, people sticking your
name on the ballot.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
No, no, no, I just I suppose I was going to ask,
do you think she will get really given and if so,
I don't think okay? And if not, would it be
because of what she's declared, which would be not unfair,
or is it based on performance, which is should be
based Every second day there's another water leak in Wellington.
Nobody wants to fix it.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, I think she's up against it actually, but that
there's lots of questions about this. Chris Tarring are going
to have there and we've got but we'll talk about
that another time because the big topic on everyone's mind tonight.
I'm going to win. I can No, you've had your
wins for the week. Fifty million bucks.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Now I did site you on the rich list in
New Zealand straight away? I don't think so. I think,
do you know what you should do?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
So if you win it and the fifty millionaires you
was in, put it in a like two year term
deposit and come out with all that interest you probably have.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I don't know that I could wait two years? To
be fair? What would you do to him?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Would you would?
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Have you got a ticket? Have you bought a ticket
for tonight?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Is the first caes I have. But on the other
on the other side of the ledger, I will confess
that I think that ten million bucks would be great.
And I'm not talking about for other people. I'm not
going to be jealous and say I don't think other
people should win it. Good luck to you. I think
fifty million might ruin my life. I don't I think
ten Would you be honest? Would you keep it secret?
(23:28):
Sore but you'd have to stay on for a few weeks?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Or what are you getting on your team to posit
at At the moment, tim.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I don't know five percent, Okay, I know it.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I'm working on five point eight percent. If you left
it in the bank for a year. Didn't touch it,
you'd earn two point nine million dollars. See that you're
onto something. Yeah, if you get it, put it away,
lock it into a term to positive.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
No, you know, I'd like to win it all to myself.
But no, honestly, I think it would be really nice
if that went to because it's got to go. It's
got to go. And if it doesn't one, then they
go put it down to the second divisional whatever, and
that maybe it's she spread out, spread out by you know,
divide it by what fourteen people.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I've really loved some of the recent big winners eighteen million,
fifteen often going to syndicates. You know, it might be
a family syndicate, and I kind of feel quite good
when you hear that it's gone to a syndicate rather
than an individual. Not that I would object to winning it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think we do have an envy thing going on.
But look, I like to think it wouldn't ruin my life,
and I'd like to find out whether it would anyway.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
And that's what they say, you know, all the stories
and news stories that I was reading earlier this week
and news money, just remember and this is what the
economists and all the experts money doesn't buy you happiness,
And after I read it, I was thinking, but it
sure would help a little bit.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Going to a seminar the other day, she was with
old Sam Stubbs from Simplastique. He we save it and
so he's written a little book about money and stuff
like that. And then you go and as opening presentation
was the reason that money is important is it gives
you choices. Right, The more money you got, the more
choices you can make. It's as simple as that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I love that thing is probably I think if
you want it, because you'd have to keep it secret
because this is the thing, the reason, that amount of money,
it's just going to create that permanent question mark with everyone,
you know, whether they're expecting something or why haven't they
done this for me?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Or what?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I think? It could be really life ruining. So for
that reason I would probably wait for and then I
actually I joked with the other day, you know what,
you haven't answered the question. No, I'm I'm about to know.
I'm about to I said to her, honey, would you
want to know? But what would you prefer? I just
(25:41):
kept it secret and told you in a couple of
months time, and then we could pretend we'd won five
million or something. You pretend you'd want a smaller amount,
and that would mean I'd have to hold off and
buy in the Eston Martin. Yeah. I was going to
say otherwise, because I don't think being the overnight host
around in this. Although I did toodle around on edis
(26:02):
my concert once. I just tell people I was doing
another concert that weeknd.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Well before I came in into the studio, I was
over there. I was at the supermarket countdown a Mount
Eden and it was heaving, not for the supermarket but
for the lotto line. It was out the door, out
the door. Yeah, it'll be just so busy.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Oh well, I reckon it's going to go second division,
struck by about five or six people. There, we go
second division and that'll be a win.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
You know.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Well, if it's me, I shall shout you a glass
of bloody chocolate.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Besides, I've been waiting for that because you won the
Best News award. But anyway, hey, just before we go
to the break, So the state of origin, right, I
love an anthem story. So an Australian Idol winner basically
has unveiled a new take on the Australian national anthem.
So he's at a State of Origin match, they played
(26:55):
the national anthem and this is what it is. Here
we go.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Then go on Emphy good sory, well time, So.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Just a quick he's basically made it a song for
him and not for the crowd.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
No love it?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Do you like it or hate it?
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I don't see what the objection is.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I love it. I think you know what. It's great.
It's different. I love that rendition. It's a big country,
Come on, Australia, you can embrace change.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I guess the question is if it's something where you
are expected to give a rendition so the crowd can
sing along, then it's a fail. But if it's going
to be Whitney Houston, where you're so amazing because Whitney's
national anthem.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Oh yeah that one, it's Super Bowls.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's so amazing that it's just you want to sit
and listen to her sing. Whereas is that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
People booing in the background.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Do you think some of them will do?
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I think I've listened to that one and I think
it was people booing because it's received a mixture.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I mean, I've got it. I've done the anthem a
few times for the All Blacks going back for years
and seven times. But I don't count. And but like
lever and rewards.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
Higher higher.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Anyway. The one thing I spent ages making sure is no, no,
of course not. But you check the you check? I
did you do it in a key and a tempo
that's crowd friendly because for an all Black match, everyone
sings along with that. It's not about you, it's it's
not about you.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's about contextual right. It's not an international right, it's
it's the anthem at a state of origin. Right. It's
an in house performance. Good point, yes, so perhaps you'd
be a little bit more upset if it was, you know,
against New Zealand or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
That's actually a good point. So I think that's a
fair enough point.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm leaving now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I've done my bit, Pete, well done, Well done. Context
I could imagine I can imagine your voice suiting a
n ized country rendition of Australia.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
You do say, can you say?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I could go out there and Joseph my Son, who's
sitting there doing his homework, can I sing, after weeping
with laughter for five minutes? He would go please don't.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Encourage he'd be in here. He's given the thumbs up.
I think have to hold him back. Don't come in
quite yet, Joseph. But we could have gone to the
break with him anyway. It's looking you know when I
say it, By the way, when I say low that,
I think it's I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I don't think it's awful. No, I mean because they
have been awful ones day with you to get up
and they have a crack at it and they go,
I'm going to bring my own sense of yeah, and
it's just disastrous. I don't think it's that.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
But by the way, people in the break, if you
feel like go and look YouTube Whitney super Bowling. I
that wa mg, phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Will go for big pipe on Normandy beach Away.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Actually don't do mek Yeah, okay, it's twenty it's twenty
to four. We're going to take my moment for a
cup of teena lie down, and NIVA's going to go
off and counter rewards and that's going to take it
at least two. Oh no, that's my stop at Jones
turtle off.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Shadow him so she's so hot and fast.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
He sticks to the heaves and lace that she and
that shyly.
Speaker 6 (30:27):
Nothing that but I think you'll come into fad.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
That is that? That is quite. That's quite the tune
they to come out of the break with. Isn't that? Hi?
This is the Weekend Collector And I'm Tim Beveridge and Pete. Sorry,
couldn't hear that you were talking?
Speaker 4 (30:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:58):
No, no, I'm talking with that microphone on. Who would
have thought.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Pete that way?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I quite liked this story. The operators of a tourism
park in China I said they've made a small enhancement
during the dry season. So this hiker decided to go
up and find the source of the waterfall. It's like
how this water's coming out of a pipe.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
They built its pipe testing into the rock.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Face so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile.
When the waterfall's not going well, it has worked for them.
It's The video revealing the pipe has been viewed twenty
four million times.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
But isn't it a little bit like you know, taking
dogs and painting them to look like pandas and then going, oh,
they're actually pander dogs In the hope that some.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
That's coming out of a pipe and think, oh, I
think it's do you think it's incredibly dishonest? It's but
if you hiked up the oh, I'd rather see through
the pipe than nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
You know, now if you were the guy who discovered
the pipe, would it would make your day? But you know,
all it makes me say is people, if you want
to see some beautiful waterfalls, come to New Zealand and
go to Doubtful Sound.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Melford Sounds were goodness, say oh.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Yeah, Carrington, just over here by Carrington, you need to take
over there the Oakley Creek as a waterfall.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You go for a walk after the show and can
check it out. Actually, it does remind me when Joseph's
telling Pete it's a pipe. It's not he's been naughty. Hey.
I went to Doubtful Sound a year and a half
ago in summer. We went down, went right down to
town and all that sort of thing, and it had
been quite dry. But we went to go for the
Doubtful Sound trip on the boat and we didn't know
(32:45):
it had been dry and the waterfalls went't going. But
so as we arrived they were telling us, oh it's
you know, you might not see the waterfall action and
it started raining as we were getting on board the boat,
and we took the trip out and as we were
going out, the waterfalls just sprang into life, and it
was amazing, phenomenal. But just to have seen them, well,
they're remote control, going right.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Trying to turn them on.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Sacrilege, Peter, Peter, Absolutely sacrilege. Anyway, I love I love
a lousy tourist attraction. As though, have you ever been
to any tourist attractions where you've expected a lot and
you've been like that was a bit disappointing, because the
one I've heard about is if you go in peak
season and go to the Trivy Fountain, there's just so
many tourists. That's just a revolting malee of people.
Speaker 5 (33:28):
I didn't even when I was in Rome, that was
I didn't go there. No, I didn't want to, but
all my other friends will go. We've got to go,
and I went, oh Na.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I'm a big fan of I'm of being a tourist
in the office. Not never go anywhere in the peak season.
Always just find the sort of off fish season and
away you go and get up early. Yes, that's the
key to it.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I love it when you know, because if you're traveling,
sometimes your body clocks all up the whack. And so
it's a couple of years ago we were in London.
I got up and thought I'll go for a nice
long walk. Didn't even know. And then I'm walking through
Hyde Park and I'm thinking it's really quiet, you know,
for a really big city. In the son had come up.
It was like five o'clock in the morning or something
like that. Just stunning. Yeah, cross go around Buckingham, Pallas,
(34:11):
see the horse guards out there training in the morning,
and then back it was just stunning, get up early,
go for all.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
We were the same one. My wife and I first
went to Paris back at just after we got married,
and we woke up sort of late and we're like,
oh my goodness, honey, it's note a lot. We've got
to get rattling. And so we got out the door
and we were walking along the Seine and we didn't
see anyone. What is going on? And it might have
also been a public holiday as well, but literally at
(34:37):
nine o'clock, nothing was at a nine am and then
nine point thirty quarter to ten bit of action, ten o'clock,
bomb boom the sea.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Well that's the problem because I did the Paris Marathon
about seven or eight years ago. Just throw that in
there back of my running.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
A word for that.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Somebody introduced me the other day. That's no, it's something
that the humble brag. It's a double no. No. It's
a word that I had to google it. But you
carry on. Tell them.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
I was there with about ten other runners. I came last,
but I well, no, I would push the Paris yes,
officially last, because I'm not a fast runner, but it
would just so that I would just get to the
end and it would take me like six hours. I'd
be there all day. But I loved it because I
could see all the sights. But because we were we
were New Zealand runners, and we were used to getting
(35:26):
up early. We'd like to have our breakfast at about
five or six am in the morning and then would
go for a run, and we're at the hotel and
then we would you know, walk around to the city
and because you know what Paris is like, they don't
open the city until ten or eleven am, and they
have their dinner too late, at about ten pm. And
we found that I found that really hard. I found
(35:47):
that really difficult. I love it. Oh, No, I like
to eat it about five or six pence.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I just did not like it in Paris.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
That program Emily in Paris, it was so true. And
she turns up to the office and she's standing there
and the boss turns up. She goes, who are you?
And she's like, I mean when I have comes to
tap work. She says, what are you doing here so early?
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Such a free story?
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Hey, by the way, what you just did? Then about
you know, you run the marathon in Paris. It's a flex,
that's what you did. It's called a flex. Yeah, somebody
said that to me that I must have been boasting.
She goes, that's a flex. I was like, what's I
need to go and google that. It's a flex. It's
when you just drop a little thing in the eye.
By the way. Oh yeah, it's like it's like I
got slightly injured when I was doing my thousandths pressure
(36:29):
or something like that I was doing. I was doing
one hundred pull ups and I got a little twins.
It's like it's basically a humble boast. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (36:36):
Well, I have run eight marathons around the world. That's
another flex.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
No, that's just downright bragging. What a show off? Awards
thirty more than marathons.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
I need to balance out the awards in the marathons, Like,
is there room to do a couple of marathons to
catch Telly?
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Oh, I never thought about that.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Stopped entering awards. Yeah, I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Okay, we can discuss this in the break, I think anyway,
it's it's ten minutes to four. The news talk's in me. Yes,
welcome back to the Weekend collected with This is the
(37:21):
panel Tim Beverage, My panelists Neva Retty, Marno and Pete
wolf Camp. God, you can't shut the mup. Actually, I've
worked out which has been a lively parent.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
To catch up on. We don't each other.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
We don't see each other because I'm on the weekday
and pizza weekends, and we've just been chit chatting. It's
the first time I've been peaking a couple.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Of years, and it's been lovely. I love a good
chit chat. Now, just quickly, would you step in the
ring with Mike Tyson or Jake Paul for twenty million?
So Mike Tyson, he's fifty seven, He's going to fight
YouTuber Jake Paul twenty seven, who is twenty seven twenty
million bucks. Apparently, I don't know. Fifty is too old?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Tyson?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Is he too old?
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Too old?
Speaker 5 (37:57):
It's kind of like around our age.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
But I was saying, I feel bad about punching somebody's
younger than me shoes.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Actually would you? Would you actually go and do something
like that, even though you're probably going to get punched
around the ring a few times?
Speaker 5 (38:12):
How much is it would it be worth?
Speaker 2 (38:13):
Twenty oh?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
To be fair? As a kid, I used to box.
I had a friend of ours was in fact Dutch
Army well toweight champion or something like that, Hoop Craanes.
He lived around the corner from us, and so for
about a year and a half I think I used
to train with him.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Wolf Camps, Wow, can you still throw a punch?
Speaker 3 (38:33):
I wouldn't have a clue a long time.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
For a long time. I want to know what the
last time was.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
It was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
But oh, you'd be great celebrity. Well if they do
that celebrity about it boxing Matt he's the resident building
now the resident boxer. It's Pete wolf Camp.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
It's a crazy amount I'd pay to see that.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
I'd be more interested in watching you box than Mike Tyson. Anyway. Hey,
you've got you've got your your your boys.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Here sitting out there doing his homework and we were
just chatting. And so n y T, which is National
Youth Theater, are doing a production of Josephs and Joseph

the religious medical which is pretty religious.

few years now. Anyway, Hey, guys, thank you so much.
