Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, this is the situation with Wellington Regional Hospital. Okay,
Wellington Regional Hospital is currently building a high Dependency unit HDU.
It's got twelve beds. Now. High dependency unit is a
really important thing because when somebody comes out of ICU
intensive care, they can't just necessarily go straight back to
the ward because they might not be well enough, like
(00:22):
you're kind of you're almost sick, you're dying, and then
that's for ICU, and then the ward is for your
totally well, you're not you're most you're not going to
die on us any minute, right, And the HDU is
that interim step where they're like, oh, yes, sort of
getting better, but we're just a little bit worried about you.
They are building this thing. They have not got one
of these up, but from the sounds of things, as
(00:43):
far as I understand, the unit is eighty percent completed.
And on Tuesday yesterday, the Infrastructure Oversite Group, who are
in charge of the sent out an email saying to
everybody down tools, we're not building this thing anymore. Stop
what you're doing, which is crazy because apparently they've already
offered staff employment to work there and stuff like that.
Now how crazy is that you're eighty percent through a
(01:04):
build of something that you need and you've offered jobs
to staff and you just go, okay, that's it right.
Pollingpin Marjorie Upper had to step in, which is probably
less de levee having to step in and tell them no,
you pick up your tools and you finish the job.
That is how crazy House New Zealand is at the
moment twenty past four and Darcy water Grave sports stalkhoasters
with me right now.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He does eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Mate. I know, like when you come into the studio,
I just tell you things that blow your mind all
the time, because that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's because I focus predominantly on sport because it's not
as depressing as the real world, although the real word
is quite stimulating. To be fair, I mean, I'm not
not a news junkie, but I know, but eighty percent.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I know, Hey, am I supposed to have heard of
Jerome Pampalone.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Jerome Pampalone is part of Peach Boxing and tonight he's
taking on a bloke called Connor Wallace and this is
a title eliminator. So he wins this, he goes to
a IBF title fight. For light heavyweight. Now he was
in an eliminator a few months ago, but he got beaten,
first time he's ever been beaten. And even that, somehow,
with the vagaries of boxing, he managed to get himself
(02:04):
another title shot, not quite but an eliminated final, and
that's coming up tonight. So Drome Pambalone, super super nice guy,
plumber and there's part time in the spare time when
he's not plumbing. Yeah, because he works with Peach. He
punches people in the face and he's all that. I've
watched him quite a few times live Darcy. I've watched
(02:25):
him nail people by hitting them in the liver and
just watched them fold up. It's frightening.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
One of the most interesting things that I have discovered
today was people slapping each other for competitive powerslap power slap.
You and the boys in sport were sitting around watching
these power slap videos. What's going on? How did you
even come across the Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I wasn't watching the videos. I wanted to show you
what it was because you didn't know, so I said, okay,
here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Why were you even on the subject?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Powerslap? Is something here turned up a couple of years
ago down to White from UFC decided to be a
good idea and we're absolutely gobsmacked at the stupidity of it.
But tonight's talk not only we're talking I dro and Pampa.
I'm going to talk to Isaac Peach's coast, but the
fact that five sports is really accelerating over here in
New Zealand with mixed martial arts, with boxing, da da
da da. But would we go.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
As far how slappers literally where you've got two men
standing there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
To competitors, right, your two competitors because we do.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
A point, decide who gets to go first, and the
receiver has to stand there and take slaps that are
so hard they can slap.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's one and the max them out. It's insane.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's like a like an open handed.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Punch pretty much. And it's like you know the the.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Do they and an appallingly low i Q.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Well they came out with one they take. I don't
think they do much of the way training to imagine
that in the gym. But look, there's money to be
made from Dana White, so he is all over it.
But one of the key parts of boxing and of
mixed martial arts is what defense. Yes, this idea is
defend yourself for all times. That's the way it rolls.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Not like watching people eat the hottest chili in the world.
That's basically that, isn't it. Darcy. I'm really looking forward
to the show this evening. It's going to be crazy.
Appreciate it. That's Darcy Watergrave, sports talk host. For more
