to come through. There's a bit of a situation that

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Matt Heath and Taylor Adams Afternoon ex News Talk said me.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Very good afternoon to you. Hope you have a fantastic
Monday afternoon. Great to have your company. As always, kiddo man, but.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
The six years come through, it says, tell Hosking to
get this one dimensional crusader's arraser out of the abs.
It's interesting the power that people think my costing has.
So I do you think Hosking has the ability to
select the coach of the orbits?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Maybe maybe himself.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
He's a very successful broadcast, but I'm sure if his
influence extends that far. But thanks for all your feedback.
On nine two ninety two, Hey, on Friday, we were
talking about dogs and we were talking about the dog
that jumped out. It was pitbull and it jumped out
the front seat of a car and ran across the
road into a Michael Hill jeweler where it tried to
rough up a avoodle and an a customer, and the

(01:57):
lady from behind the counter came out and saved the day.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Right, yes you did.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
It was a great chat full on and we were
getting a lot of anti pitbull chat coming through. We're
also getting people texting through and ringing through saying that
bulls can be lovely, lovely dogs, right yes, And I
was thinking can they? But in the weekend, I was
walking my dog and I came across this other dog,
and I was talking to the guy and the dog.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Was a pitbull, yep.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
And and he goes, I don't worry. My pitbull's lovely,
and so my little snack, my little mini snails a
Jack Russell, ended up having a fantastic play with this
very friendly pitbull.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And it just went back to what a lot of
people were saying, it's not the breed, it's it's the
breeder and how the dog is treated.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
So this this pit bull't wouldn't hurt a fly. It
definitely wouldn't smash up a Michael Hill jeweler, not this one.
It had a fun old time with my tiny little dog.
So I thought that just proves proves what people were
texting through to me, there is there is such a
thing as a peace loving pitbull.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Love it.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
It's right on to today's show after three o'clock. Group holidays,
they may sound like a fun idea, but sometimes the
reality can come as a shock. So it's a story
in the era today about a family who traveled with
their friends for about six years, all horribly wrong, and
now they don't even talk to each other. So traveling
with friends on holiday is it ever a good idea.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
No, well, no, it can be, but you've just got
to watch the inertia. You just got to watch the
inertia of everyone in the group having a say on
what you're going to do that day. I think go
away with friends, but then run an independent operation from them,
maybe meeting for dinner. That's about it.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, that is up to three o'clock, looking forward to
that after two o'clock. Uber eats it's had a lot
of criticism over the last couple of years. The latest
is from a Glen Eden eatery and it says that
there Uber Eats deliveries. They got about three hundred bucks
over the weekend and they only got from that three
hundred dollars of food sold eighty five dollars thirty six
there's about twenty eight percent of the order's total value.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
So we've done a few stories on Uber Uber drivers
and how that goes for the drivers and you know
Uber delivery. But interested to talk about it from the
restauranteurs point of view. Is it working for you? You know
it must do because people do it. Do you run
a restaurant and just don't do it anymore? And yeah, look,

(04:16):
I mean I know that I'm trying to move away
from uber eats, and look, how many people do the
thing that we talk about with booking dot com and
such where you may see the thing on eber eats that,
but talk to the restaurant directly, because obviously that's better
for the restaurant. If you have some food from somewhere
and it's fantastic, you want to operate directly with the
restaurant if you can.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Not that restaurants necessarily have a way to deliver the
food to you. You might actually have to go in there.
You might have to get off your lazy, fat ass
and get down there.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Go pick it up. Yeah, jeez, you're crazy, or dine in.
You're dine in.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, I mean, it's not good for the body or
soul to just sit on your ass, press a few
buttons and get your food delivered to you on the couch,
is it.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
There's a lot of buyers remorse, I think with uber eats.
But that's after two o'clock and right now, let's have
a chat about police officers. So this is on the
back of a pretty damning survey out of the Police College.
They asked a whole bunch of senior staff how they
felt their new officers were once they had exited Police
College and got into the real world. And so fifty
five percent of them said the new officers were barely

(05:17):
or not at all well equipped with knowledge of the
procedures for making and a restore laying charges. But we
want to take it a bit wider than this. A
great story in The Hero by Shane Curry. He's going
up and down the country. It's called the Great New
Zealand Road Trip, and he's talking to well known kiwis
and good local, hard working kiwis as well about the
state of the country. And one of the people he

(05:38):
chatted to over the weekend was Rob Lemottosander, great New Zealander,
well known police officer, and he fronted police ten to
seven for a number of reasons. But he said something
very interesting to Shae.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well, yeah, he's back. He's back in the police force
after he jumped out and wanted to try new things,
but he missed the police force so much that he's
back love it, and so they really you know a
couple of things I want to talk about in this
hour eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you're on
the on the police. If you have been a police

(06:09):
officer at anytime in your life, what was day one like?
Because I can I can imagine that no matter what
the level of training you get, and a job as
variable as being a police officer, day one would just
throw absolutely everything out. They talk about what they don't
know on day one, these senior officers, but I imagine
nearly all of it you were taught in college would
be useless. Yeah, you know, to quote Mike Tyson, or

(06:31):
your plans go out the window when you get punched.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
In the face exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I mean. And you know, I know a few police
officers and there was a member of my family and
his first day on the job was just so harrowing.
I don't think you could be in training for ten
years I'll be able to be ready for that kind
of thing. But yeah, and also you know if Rob
Lamotea has gone back, so if you have left the

(06:54):
police or are you still in the police, is it
a good job? Is it a good career? Would you
recommend it to other people? Yep, we'd love to hear
from you. Eight hundred and eighteen eighty.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Looking forward to that, really keen to hear from you.
If you're in the police service or you have been
a former cop. I w eight undred and eighty, ten eighty,
and we are going to have a chant to Rob
Lomotto next. He is was the front person for Police
ten seven. Now he's rejoining the police, so he is
coming up very shortly. It is thirteen past one.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
The big stories, the big issues, to the big trends
and everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons
News Talks, it.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Be News Talks the b So Rob Lemotto spent twenty
seven years in the police force before jumping the fence
to host TV's Police ten seven. He was ready for
new challenges, but it turns out he missed the frontline
policing more than he thought he would, and he has
released recently returned to the blue uniform a couple of
months ago. Rob Lemotto joins us on the phone right now, Rob,

(07:49):
good afternoon to you, and thank you so much for
joining us, and fantastic to hear you're going back to
our police here.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Good afternoon, teens. Thanks for having me. A couple of
corrections there, that's all right, not your fault, obviously, it's
all right. I did ten seven while I was in
the police, I kind of I have surprised a lot
of people as well, because i'd host to show. Then
I'd turn up at a job and some would say,
you're really in the police. I'd point to the taser
and say, well, that's a real taser. So the ten

(08:19):
years mate, and then I took her for the year
off to try some other things before coming back. So yeah,
I've been back for a few weeks now and loving it,
loving it fantastic.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
So you know this talk in this report that's come
out today is you know, the recruits on their first
day not knowing certain things. What was your first day
on the job.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Like, yeah, I didn't read the report, but I've certainly
heard that it's come out. My first thing the job
was incredible. I was sitting at my desk about three
or four hours and looking at my watch and I
was actually thinking I don't have enough time left at work,
instead of you know, it's time to go seeing So
I was pretty young, I was pretty naive. I don't

(08:56):
really know what I was getting myself into. And college
college actually set me up really well. I was on
one sixty six again at the college with some really
good people. I was the youngest, so I actually did
a bit of growing while I was there, and then
came out to some work with some really good people,
so very lucky, very very energized. I got a little
bit disappointed, it's some of what I saw, because I think,

(09:18):
I think my mum and did a pretty good job
of sheltering us from some of the real realities of
of some of some of the areas of the community
that aren't the greatest, you know. So yeah, I think
I think when I sort of hit the ground, it
was a bit of an eye nuh but but no, Look,
I really enjoyed it, really enjoyed it. Didn't take it
for granted, and and then obviously as it progressed, I

(09:38):
found other areas where I could help, so sydnistics of
the job. Just loved, absolutely loved the working on the
undefender squad, really loved my deployment overseas, working in a
couple of communities when on Bogainville up and Top in
New Guinea, it was pretty awesome. So we're pretty lucky,
pretty lucky here.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
How soon did you what was your first arrast did
you execute?

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Your first first was for someone who stole a peck
at a turn gun. So yes, I don't know, I
don't notice the kids know what careshes or sense are.
But I think it had cost twenty five cents and
they were a re sit of as offender. I know
it's a bit embarrassing when when you look back, but
the tolerance for that sort of behavior was pretty low,

(10:22):
and you had repeat offenders, and this person had been
wanted and had done a few things. So my senior
offsider was a few days out of college, had told
me that it wasn't really the value of the item,
of the effect, that this person wasn't changing their behavior.
So they came true. And of course I think I
was the arresting officer because he didn't want to put
his name on the charge sheet, so my name went

(10:43):
on me, and you know, and you kind of realize
that some lawyers picked that up and looked at the
charge and everything else, but we know that it was
for the totality of their behavior, not just one incident.
But anyway, yeah, you're not the greatest.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
How quickly did you know, how soon from you know,
getting out there and on the front line, did you
experience something that you thought, this is beyond my training.
This is quite extreme.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Oh yeah, look to be fair, and you know, no
one likes to admit their age. But I do remember
my first few days in the job because they were
just you know, you have this level of excitement and
you see things and you do things. So I mean
my first day I was overwhelmed because we had paperwork
to do, and I was sold on the thought of

(11:28):
just chasing bad people and brand new holdings. You know,
I couldn't afford to holding back then, so.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Work.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
But my offside I still remember him. He runs the
station in the coast and he'd say, slow down, young fellow,
Slow down, young fellow. You know, like I want to
get there, and we're going to a family harm incident.
There was a lot of yelling and screaming, and getting
there was exciting, but getting out and dealing with it
I certainly learned it's not It wasn't what I thought
it was. But you know what, we ended up helping

(11:57):
some people out of a pretty horrible situation. So you
kind of learned to enjoy certain aspects of it, which
keeps you coming back, you know.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
So you say, you know slow downs fellas slow down,
young fellow. How important are the scene officers in terms
of making good recruits and two good police officers.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Oh, it's like anyway, mate. So I went to a
factory to you know, get rid of a little bit
of enthusiasm and mature a little bit. I went to
a recruiting offices, like you're not old enough. And then
I went and work in a factory for a few
months and I learned, Yeah, look, and even in the
factory there's some senior people who are sort of like,
we don't do it that way, we do it this way.

(12:33):
So I think in an industry you go and learn
as you go. I think I just think that you know,
in the police, as soon as you leave college, you're
a role model. Whether you want to be or not,
you're a role model. We've got a uniform mine and
people look to you for help. So I look at
some of our sporting teams made you would have seen
in the past. We have these people and sports teams
who have let us down. And anyone says they're role models.

(12:54):
Well they're not really. They're good at what they do,
and some clubs are better than others at sort of
getting these these young people ready for what lives are hit.
And I think at college made they've got the hardest
job in the world, because you can have someone there
for two years and they could come out and still
not be ready for it what they encounter, you know.
So it is about having good people around them, and
it is about when you leave college understanding that the

(13:17):
public expect excellence from the start. They don't age or
lack of experience means nothing if you get it wrong.
And I feel sorry for our teams who are doing
this in front of the cameras. I mean, it's ironic
that I was.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
On the camera given. But when I.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
Left police college, I started when we didn't have cell things.
You wanted to ring someone, we had the dial tone
and you really hope that they didn't have a zero,
were a nine, because it was by the time he died,
it took forever for it to get back for the
next number. It was like, it's just yeah, I mean
the world out there now people see it. And also
we have so many things that are taken out of context,

(13:53):
like they'll put something up and they'll say, look, the
police have terroorized these people and it's fourteen seconds, you know,
But our team have put up with stuff for five
six seven minutes before they even before they've even reacted,
you know. So she's a hard world for the front line.
I do feel for our teams, but we've got some
good people out there, and I actually have no issues
with reports that come out. Have no issues with people

(14:16):
ringing up like your station and telling us where we're
getting it right, where we're getting it wrong, because we
only learn from what we do. And like I said,
I'm lucky I came out at a time where being
recorded and being posted, and we get posted by a
lot of bad people. They come out and they post
and then they cut and they mix and they put
it up and they shape our teams and doing all
these horrible things. But I don't know a colleagues that

(14:39):
I've come to work with it comes to work to
make it a bad day for another family, you know.
So I mean I missed that, I really missed it
when I was away. I missed the fact that I'm
back in blue. I'm back at working with the people,
with a group of people who want really good outcomes
for our community. So I do and I do know
that there's a lot of pressure on our front line,
and I do have nothing. I mean, I'm in c

(15:01):
IB So I arrived at a job pretty much after
the front line had dealt with it and made it
safe for everyone, including police officers that are coming to
deal with it. And then we sit in the room
and tell them how they got it wrong, even though
I had the luxury of arriving and not being sworn
out or threatened.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah, so you know they're working hard. I don't know,
we're not robots. We don't always get it right, but
the meaning behind what a lot of our team do
is what our communities expect. So and I've come back
and I think it's funny now because my children are
grown up and I'm working with people and I look
at a colleague and I'll say, is that person older
than my daughter? And I wonder because I was experiencing

(15:40):
it at twenty twenty one, twenty two, and I'm like,
you know, and I'm thinking, I hope they have the
mental edge and toughness that they need to put up
with some of the stuff they're going to see.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, it's actually like, you know, going back to this report,
do you think there is some truth that experience officers
thinking new recruits are rubbish as a tale as old
as time. I mean, it's a cliche from the movies,
isn't it.

Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, look it. So I haven't read the report, so
I can't really comment on it. But what I can
tell you is that I now tell the kids that
every song I listened to was a remake of a
song that was better when I was grown up. And
every time I start to talk about my childhood, my
oldest daughter is, dad, I'm really sorry you had a
shit childhood over hearing about it. So I don't know. Look,

(16:25):
all I know is that I'm in the bay. We
have a lot of enthusiastic, fresh new people on the
front line. The opportunity is there for anyone, So you
don't have to be twenty six, twenty seven, and you
don't have to you know, being forty thirty eight, thirty nine.
Age is not a limit to what we do, the
ability to go there and learn. So what I prefer
more experienced people who've lived life a little bit more, yep.

(16:48):
Is that because I experienced some stuff when I was younger,
and I thought, looking back that I could have done
a better job.

Speaker 7 (16:54):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (16:54):
But we have some good people on the front line,
regardless of age, who are just they're only a year
and we know they come up against hardened criminals. And
it's interesting. When I first started working in South Auckland,
I did a job and I think the criminal out
sorry for me and started giving me some guidance write
into my notebook and that might that might come back

(17:15):
to bite me later on. And I think he just thought, man,
he's this idiot.

Speaker 8 (17:19):
We do.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Yeah, we have some.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Experience everywhere if you're willing to listen to them.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, yeah, And I mean I went back. I saw
my daddy a year later. My dad's pretty important to me,
and I said to him, look, you know, I didn't
realize that we didn't grow up the richest family in
South Oakland. It's after we had everything. He was always
at our sport, he was always there, had good role models,
I thought, and I traded on being South Aukland hard though,
had a really good family. And you know what, you know,

(17:46):
I would say, there's a huge percentage of percentage of
really good families in South Aubland. So just being from
there doesn't mean you've seen what these other families are
going through. And so when I sort of learned what
it was all about a year into the job. All
was sudden down playing cards and I see the dad.
I look on I say thanks, you know, because actually
you keep me out of trouble and you did this
and you did that. And then he looked at me

(18:07):
and he what was wrong? Like are you all right?
Sof yeah, I think I'd only just got it and
he'd been living it and bringing it. So yeah, you know,
it's funny because he wasn't in the job, but I
think he knew more about it than me because of
his lived experiences.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Wrong, just just going back to those new recruits scenes,
just say, a lot of them come and bushy tailor
and bright eye when they hit those first days and
see the reality of you head, you know, a pretty
full noise, domestic dispute going on.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
What do you how do you keep those.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
New recruits grounded or you know, mentally strong is probably
not the right word, but but stop them getting cynical
that you know, g what am I going to face today?

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well, I'll just put it. I'll put it this way.
I mean, you've been in the industry a long long
time and I'm not having to go your age. Let's
be honest, we're all we're a little bit more experienced,
we call it instead of old. But if we put
some people in your studio, you would know who would
be good for them and who would really take them
down the wrong sort of path. So we try to
put our teams around good people. So we have people

(19:11):
that come to work and they want to excel and
they want to be and they're really good at teaching.
And we have other people that come to work and
they've been doing this job for a while now and
they just they just want to come to work and
work and then go home, which is awesome, nothing wrong
with it, but we align them with the right people.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Tell you, putting someone pretty green tired, that's pretty green.
He's got a lot to learn.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
He's pretty much a criminal on the other side, but
he's already given. He gives me some good tips.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
Clearly patient. Look it putting good people around them, and
we need to look we don't want to lose police
officers to other forces. Like I know some good people
who've taken the opportunity to go to Australia and that's fine,
you know, and a lot of them want to go
there and clear some debt in terms of maybe getting
into some homes and coming back. A lot a lot
of them want to come back. A lot of them

(19:56):
are there in realizing actually that they're onto a good
thing here and they have come back. But if we
can you know, if we just if we just align
our people with good people, then they'll learn the right habits.
So I think I think that's been one of the drives.
I think. I think our new commissioner definitely wants that.
I think he's talked about leaders being visible. Like I've
come back into a leadership role, and it's been very

(20:19):
clear to me when I came back there, here's an
expectation even though I'm this huge diva who used to
be on television, and I shared some of my knowledge,
and I'll share some of my skills, and I lower
myself to the standard of talking to new people coming
out of college.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
But no, look, I.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Mean, Alchemist has been very clear around that. So you know,
I think I think we had really good leaders in
the job who've been tied up with the administration, who
have now been encouraged to get back out and share
that knowledge and experience. So I'll come back energized because
I had a year away, but coming back I'm really
I'm liking what I'm seeing. And I know, look, we've

(20:55):
had we've had COVID, We've had a whole lot of
other things that have made it really hard to police
at times. But look got I mean the reason I'm
back is my wife said it was really bad. Actually
she was lucky off to work. I went year. So
he goes, well, that's just the way work is. People
don't go to work because they enjoy it. Get over it,
get out there and make some money. And I'm like, yeah, yes,

(21:16):
sweet is. But you know, like in the police, I
never looked at my watch and thought, you know, said
I wish it was knockoff. You know, there's things I've
looked forward to. Don't get me wrong, I'm not I'm
not an idiot, but I just enjoy the organization that
I joined. So I'm very lucky and I know these opportunities.
But for me too, we see the high standard. If

(21:37):
we get it wrong, take it on the chin all
day every day, because we shouldn't. We shouldn't as an organization,
we shouldn't be getting it wrong. So with these people
that are coming in, we need to look after them.
And I think I think we're on the right track
to doing that. I haven't read the report, but what
I know is that if someone starts at our station,
if he's new, the team will rep around them. And
if we see behaviors we like, we'll support it. And

(21:58):
if we see behaviors we don't like, we're encouraged to
do something about it. So I'm not saying that I'm
not saying that it isn't hard come in into the organization,
but realistically there is a lot of good peace people
here to sort of help them through there. So I
would hope that that's been reflected from the top to
the bottom of the country.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Rob, it's been fantastic to chat with you. Thank you
very much for giving us your time. And what a
great man to be in the police.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Great New Zealander.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighties and number to
call if you have been and the police love to
hear from you. How was day one in nineteen nine two?
Is the text number? It is half past one?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Putting the tough question to the newspeakers, the mic asking
breakfast Bill.

Speaker 9 (22:34):
Blacks go down to the argies for the first time
at their place, and you know how New Zealand has
handled an all black lost. You the critics, Sir Graham
Henry joins us are we in trouble?

Speaker 10 (22:42):
Nah?

Speaker 11 (22:42):
Good, ma'am.

Speaker 9 (22:44):
So I'm rid this morning. It's the dumbest and dirtiest
team in rugby.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Is that true?

Speaker 12 (22:48):
No, that's that's just ridiculous.

Speaker 11 (22:50):
It's a very evening competition. I think we've probably got
a bit complacent.

Speaker 12 (22:53):
Now we've got it's comfortable, I would.

Speaker 11 (22:55):
Imagine after and reasonably easy. We're in the first test
and I think they probably got comfortable. But I think
it'll be very good going forward against South Africa. And
now there's nothing like an user on team that's all black,
team that's got beaten at ready galvanizes.

Speaker 9 (23:07):
Them back Tomorrow at six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast
with Mayley's Real Estate News Talk ZIV.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Very good afternoon, she It is twenty seven past one.
Plenty of good texts coming through about becoming a police officer?
Would you give it a go? Have you been one?
And what was it like when you exited police college?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
As a current serving member of the police, I find
it very ironic that the senior leadership say new staff
have effectively no skills when they come out of college.
You could swear that some of the decisions they make
represent people who have.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
No idea either.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
I work rural, and I would say the caliber of
new cops coming out now is similar, if not even
a little bit better than it was when I first
came out of police. Keep those texts coming through nine
two ninety two.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Text here, what a great man that cop was, Thank God?
Another text to thank God. We have people like Rob
out there. They make the world a better place. We
should be grateful this text. Are not grateful though, Oh,
come on celebrating cops. What's next? Spend ten minutes on
TikTok and you'll see plenty of reason to hate them.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Wow, okay, well that's.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
When you start with. Spend ten minutes on TikTok. You
do realize what you see on TikTok isn't information that
you can trust. You realize it's brain rot desired designed
to get an emotional response from you. Anyone that says
that they've learned something from TikTok immediately lower not only
my respect for them, but the respect for anything they
ever say.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yeah, steer clear of those people, right, Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty is the number cop cool. If you
are currently a serving police officer or you have been
a police officer, love to hear from you. What was
the training like, what did you experience on day one?

Speaker 11 (24:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Day one. I want to hear about day one because
no matter all the training you do, when the rubber
hits the road and you're suddenly a cop dealing with
the public, that must be that must be quite quite something.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah. Twenty five to two.

Speaker 13 (24:53):
Jew's talk sai'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis It's
no trouble with a blue bubble. A thirty six year

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Thank you very much. Scarlets or damning reports indicated seen
your police aren't happy with new recruits coming out of college.
What was day one like for you as a police officer?
I really can hear from you?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Would you call it a damning report? It was a
leak report by some you know you've said damning, so
we'll well done.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
I take that back. That was the headline I just read,
So I didn't write that headlines.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Cop, you got to remember those headlines are written the
clickbait buddy fair cop. Okay, yeah, fair cop, fair cop
pun intended. So a good headline would say fair cop.
That's a free be hearing think got Tim, who's a
fair cop on the line? Tim, Welcome to the show.
Good go, good, thank you. So are you still a
cop or you were a cop?

Speaker 8 (26:49):
No?

Speaker 14 (26:49):
I was a cop?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah? Oh yeah? And tell us about your first day
on the job.

Speaker 15 (26:55):
Oh, the first day scary. You're sort of going there
and you've been taught all a theory, but the practical
reality is quite different. There most jobs, but you know
it's a field responsible job, and you know you're going
into some unknown territories. So national fact, my first week
was just a blur, just a blur.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Did you say you just got out there a little bit.

Speaker 15 (27:18):
Tim, Yeah, my first week it was just a total
blur for me because there's just so much happening, and
as I say, taking the theory side and the practical side,
it's quite a bit different.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I imagine. So did you think you had you know,
what made it so confronting? Did you think you had
the information to do it? But the reality of just
facing the variables of being a cop was beyond anything
you could learn off, you know, in front of a
whitebird board.

Speaker 15 (27:47):
Well, it's like anything that got real today that you're
actually getting out there and doing it. Yeah, sit in
the classroom, you can go and do all the terries,
you can do all the practicals. It's just like doing
first aid. You go into in the classroom, no one's dying. Yeah,
when you go out to someone's dying in that situation,
the reality of it is quite different. The reality and
the seriousness and the implications of your decisions. Yeah, quite

(28:13):
magnified the day that you step in and that becomes real.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Did you have a good person around you when you
had your first week?

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Absolutely?

Speaker 15 (28:20):
Yeah. If you can get a good partner and stuff
like that, someone who's really supportive, it just makes a
big difference. I'll never forget the first arrest. We went
out there, send into a bit of custard, and we
got back to the office and my partner said to me,
he says, oh, can you write that up?

Speaker 10 (28:38):
And I just looked them.

Speaker 15 (28:39):
I said no, And it's why not, I says, I says, Seriously,
we went out there, we've got in the scuffle. We
brought them back that's what my report would say because
my brain wasn't in a capacity to be able to
process it. And then twelve months down the track, I
could sit down and write a report a day later,

(29:00):
and I could say what the other person said, what
I said, what the actions were, and.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
All that type of stuff.

Speaker 15 (29:05):
So it's just it's just a massive, big step to
go from the classroom or the college into real life.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
So you had these you know, you've got the expectation
you've got to do the right thing out there and
that you're what you do could have serious consequences. But
what about the fear? Was the fear ever a thing
for you? Look, you've got to go and arrest this person,
and you know that this is essentially going to be
a fight. Did fear come into it for you?

Speaker 12 (29:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 15 (29:36):
But not all arrests of fights. Once I sort of
started to know my trade a little bit, my challenge
that I had to myself was to arrest someone without
having a fight. Was to talk to them, to appeal
to them, And I challenged myself to try and arrest
someone without having to put handcuffs on them. I worked
as a Soul station cop, so you're sort of working

(29:59):
and one thing that most people forget about me and
a police officer. Every single person on this earth has
the one most important tool that a police officer has,
and what's that that's over that communication. It's not the bat,
and it's not the gun, it's not the taser. The

(30:21):
best tool that you have, and anyone has this communication
and if you could talk to someone and appeal to them,
you don't get into a fight. That was that's the aim.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
How long did it take for you?

Speaker 4 (30:33):
How long did it take you for home that that
skill of de escalation and communicating. I take it probably
wasn't there on the first week, maybe not even the
first year, to.

Speaker 15 (30:43):
Yeah, well you're right, you're exactly right. It takes a
long long time, and it depends. Different people come in
with different skills. I came and I was a little
bit older. I was in my thirties when I joined,
so I had developed low of those types of skills,
but I still didn't have them to them right level

(31:03):
when I first came out of college, and yes, it
was six and twelve months and develop those to a
lot better level, and then you continue developing those throughout
the rest of your life.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Now, what was how different was being a cop compared
to what you imagined it when you signed up for
training and whilst you were training, Because you know, when
I think of being cop, the first thing that comes
into my head right there, wrongly is shoving the siren
on and blasting through a red light and racing towards
a an incident. And for me, having watched so many

(31:36):
movies that seems exciting, was that in your in your
mind when you started up, when you when you started
to sign up to the training, I should have had.

Speaker 15 (31:45):
A bit more of an understanding of it, but I
came to this little pet saying that I had that
placing was hours and hours of sheared boredom and dispersed
by moments of sheared terror. So what you see on
television is a very very small portion of what actually
happens now as a rural cop. My average speed over

(32:09):
a two week period was thirty five kilometers an hour.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Well, okay, whereas people.

Speaker 15 (32:16):
Think that you're racing around town all the time break
neck speeds, but I calculated it will worth it all out.
But yeah, thirty seven kilometers an hour was my average
speed over a two week time period.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Right, And what made you pack it in Tim.

Speaker 15 (32:33):
I was a sole station cop. Yeah, that's pretty hard
on the family. Yeah, it's a twenty four to seven
job because I lived at the station and stuff like that.
So I just felt it was time to give a
bit more time back to the family.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
Right, And what would you recommend it as a career
for young people.

Speaker 15 (32:53):
It's a very good career for the right type of person.
I enjoyed my time and stuff like that. But it
is getting harder. It's getting a lot harder.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yeah, I think like talking down someone you know in
your communication skills, someone who's been on for three days
might be a bit harder than it used to be.

Speaker 15 (33:14):
Yes, but that's only a small portion of.

Speaker 12 (33:18):
What you do.

Speaker 15 (33:20):
It's the pressures and PC, I have to say, that's
a big part of it. Now everyone's watching you, everyone's complaining,
and everyone is so knowledgeable these days. Those who haven't
been to college actually knows so much apparently, and it's
quite difficult working with them.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Hey, well, thank you so much for talking to us, Tom.
It's really really interesting and I really appreciate you calling up.
That was fantastic.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
All the best time. Thank you very much. Joe one
hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Love to hear from you. If you've been in the
police or are still in the police. What was day
one like for you? When you go to to police college?
It is fourteen to two.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons news talks,
they'd be.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Very good afternoon we're talking about day one as a
police officer.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
I love to hear your stories of eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I like that caller. I applied for the police and
couldn't get in because I'd been on antidepressants for ten
years prior. It's not fear. Is that true that you
can't go in there? If you've been into the police,
you've been on anti present. Imagine there's psych tests and
tests to see where they think you'd be suitable for
the job, because you have to be pretty mentally robust,
imagined to execute everything you have to do in the

(34:34):
police force.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
I hadn't heard that law. As you say, I know
one hundred percent there are psychological tests, but whether if
you're on it previously and weren't on it now, whether
that would make a difference.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Well, well, you know, if you've been rejected from training
to be a police officely you're you know, you're not alone.
I think they only take about nine percent of those
people that apply. Is it that low percent I think about?
I think that's I think I heard that figure this morning. Yeah,
I'll lock that up. But it is actually reasonably hard
to get into into into the training. Guys. People hate

(35:04):
cops until their car is stolen.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Very true, Absolutely, George, We you good.

Speaker 14 (35:10):
That was an interesting texting through it out. I think
that's quite right. I mean, everybody has cops until someone
spashes them up or their house gets burgled, you know,
or they get threatened by life.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Yeah, all of a sudden they like cops, that's right.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yeah. Or maybe you'd be better to say people don't
appreciate cops and enough until they until they need.

Speaker 14 (35:29):
Them, you know, because the cops of these big v's,
you know, until they've become bro.

Speaker 16 (35:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Now, now George, where short on time, my friend?

Speaker 14 (35:39):
But something that made a note. My son applied to
be a recruit at the Becoming Cop at thirty five
years old. So what happened? His application was assessed and
he was accepted. He passed the education academic test, no problem.
He passed the psychological assessment test, no problem. His attitude
assessment test was fine, he's culturally acceptable. He did this

(36:01):
from test, passed everything, and then he had to do
the physical test. He passed everything except at the end
they had a long run. And at the end of
the run, Now you've got to remember, this has been
a bit of a process to get to this point.
At the end of and time, like weeks and weeks
and weeks and weeks. At the time, he passed his

(36:22):
long run and then they said drop down to thirty
six press ups. He did thirty five perfect and only
thirty six. He was slightly short of the height. He failed. Ah,
so they said he failed. What do you mean I failed?
He said, you have to now go and reapply again
from the very beginning. Start the whole process again. He said,
get stuff that he's over in Australia working over there in

(36:44):
the wines.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh what how long ago was that?

Speaker 14 (36:46):
Do it two and a half years?

Speaker 3 (36:48):
That's yeah, that is disappointing.

Speaker 14 (36:50):
Final, I just want to mention this because when we
talk about these recruits. Oh, but he did more recruits
to get into the college. There is a huge process
initially before they even get in. If he had succeeded
with everything, he would have then moved on to the
college at Wellington. Yeah, so the people we say, oh
we need five hundred cops, we gure a thousand cops.

(37:12):
They still are pretty someone might ring up and tell
me I'm wrong, pretty detailed as to what they expect
of someone before them get in there.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
Well, George, thank you very much for giving us a buzz.
And that is disappointing. It sounds like your boy would
have been a great cop. Now coming up after the
heads there, there's a nice sticks here about you Matt
Heath being a.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Mentor to somebody.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I don't think we need to read that one.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
We definitely need to read that out.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
So someone someone sticks through and said that Matt Heath
trained them in a particular area of life and whether
it was a good mentor ship or not.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
I don't think we've got time for that text.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Actually, well it's seven to seven to two, so let's
play some messages that come back with that.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Matt Heath, Taylor Adams taking your calls on eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty, it's Matt Heath and Taylor Adams
afternoons News TALKSB News talks 'ed.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Be it is five to one.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
A few texts coming through now, there was one that
talked about Matt Heath my made across the way here
and here it is.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I don't know if we need to hear this one.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, yep, stand by for this right. Matt Heath trained
me on my first day of work at Real Groovy Auckland.

Speaker 8 (38:23):
Uh oh.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
First thing he asked me was what sort of music
I was into, which I told him. I asked him
the same question and he said, I hate all music.
I knew at that moment, though, that we would get
on well with this guy, and he was a great mentor.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
So there we go. Mate, that's nice. That's my buddy Mark.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
And yeah, we worked in stock processing at Real Groovy
Records in Auckland. I remember that. No I said I
hate all music equally. I was in a band mood
that day. But Mark Man, what a competent guy. He
ended up owning his own Real Groovy. So I trained
him well, then, didn't I.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
He passed the test as well. You keep pushing forward.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Now he's a great New Zealander.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
Mark that text fantastic, ah, and what a great discussion
that was. So thank you to all the police officers
format and current police officers that text through on that
one great discussion. Coming up after two o'clock, it's ever
a chat about Uber eats. A glenn Eaden eatery is
drawing attention to the hidden costs of using Uber eats.
They say they only get about eighty five bucks of

(39:24):
three hundred dollars that they sold over a weekend. That's
about twenty eight percent. So what do you say if
you're a restaurant tour are you using Uber eats or
ditching it?

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Talking with you all afternoon, it's Matt Heathen, Taylor Adams
Afternoons US Talks.

Speaker 7 (39:42):
It'd be.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
Very good afternoons. You welcome back into the show. Seven
past two. You've been doing a bit of research a
mat Yeah, before.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
We get into Uber restaurants and the ups and downs
of that and whether you can make money by selling
your food on Uber or not, and how it works
in your restaurant. I just want to We had that
call from George and he was saying that his son
got failed on the police recruit physical Appraisal test. Yes,

(40:10):
by not being able to quite do thirty five press
ups right, yep. So I've just been studying the PAT
standards and scoring matrix and it's kind of complex. You
have to score eleven points across four tests, okay, and
that is a run, vertical jump, press ups, and grip strength.
So you know, for example, you will get four points

(40:32):
if you can run two point four kilometers in under
ten minutes and fifteen seconds.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
You will get zero points if you run it over
twelve okay, okay, yep, So across the four tests you
have to get eleven points. Right, vertical jump, you will
get zero points if you can't jump over thirty two
centimeters up. Surely anyone can jump thirty two centimeters. That's
just over, that's just over a ruler.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Yeah, that's a standard ruler.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Yeah, so you know, but you'll get zero points if
you can't do that. Thirty two to thirty nine centimeter
jump gets you one point. Right, press ups as where
we get to this situation here, So thirty four or
zero will get you three points, right, twenty five press
ups to thirty three press ups will get you two points, right, Yeah,
on your way to eleven under twenty five press ups
and you get zero points, right, and it's different for

(41:19):
male and females, which I'm just trying to work out.
Someone might be able to explain this to me. Why
would it be different for male and females if they've
got the same job to do. Wouldn't you have to
have a basic level of strength to do it? It's
a good point, I don't I mean, someone will have
the answer to that, because it seems like if you
need to be able to do thirty four press ups
to do a cop it wouldn't matter what sex you
were anyway. So if he didn't quite get his thirty

(41:43):
fourth press up, it was because he needed three points
from that, if you see what I'm saying. So he
must have missed out on some of the points from
the two point four killing me to run the vertical
jump or the grip strength to the point for the
press ups he needed to be over thirty four to
get the three points there to make up to the
eleven you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
So, because he's still got his two points for the
press up if it didn't quite crack the thirty five
press ups, yeah, but he must have fallen short on
the old run.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Yeah, or something like that, or the vertical vertical jump. Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's pretty impressive. I guess there's forty eight centimeters.
That's a vertical jump. Forty eight cinemas. That's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
That's half a meter or not.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
You get three points for that.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
We need to run through this pat tissue and met man.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
But you don't have to be you don't have to
be a very fast runner, because you get four points
for running under ten fifteen for two point four k's.
I could do that, could do that ease.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
You could do that. You've been running quite a lot though, Yeah,
so what's there? Is that?

Speaker 16 (42:33):
A k?

Speaker 3 (42:34):
Every Yeah? I think that's pretty fast. Actually, I don't
know if you could do?

Speaker 2 (42:41):
You reckon? I don't know. Can you jump? How high?
Do you reckon? You can jump?

Speaker 3 (42:44):
I reckon? I could jump forty eight centimeters.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
We've got a ruler here, can I just just just
kind of break the hold on.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
I'm just going to put this down because I need
to give up my fall. I'll judge how you can
here we go, right, so I reckon.

Speaker 4 (42:53):
There's about forty eight this disk here, right, Well, that's
not forty two. There's forty eight. There's definitely forty eight.
You don't real there's forty eight.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
I think that's a meter. If you think you can
jump up that high, then you are a king.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
I've got I've got some pors.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
You're really overestimating your.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Right so this is just a vertical up. So I'm
taking my head off. Here we go. Yep, wow, Hey,
how was that that is?

Speaker 2 (43:18):
That was high?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
That was a good meter. Oh my god, Andrew Andrews nodding.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
You can jump.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Get me in the cops.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Tyler can jump. I think you jumped a meter.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
But handamon, are you allowed to bring your feet up
like you did? Because you sort of jump, but then
you lifted your feet up into sort of a crunch position.
I'm not sure if that counts.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
We need to get Rod back in studio and just
scare his opinion on that.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Oh I feel good, handman, I'm going to the jump. Now.
What the rules of the jumper? Because I want to
try and get you. Okay, So the technique in combination? No,
Tyler did Okay, you cheated? You got to jump straight up,
keeping your legs straight.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yeah, I see how they're doing it.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Yeah, right, start with arms straight out in front of
your body. As you bend your knees, let swing past
your sides and slightly behind you. Spring up from your
crouch position and bring your arms forward. Allow the closest
to the board to continue all the way up to
the hit the board train by doing five to eight reps.
Yet all right, well but still no. What I will
say is whether you cheat it or not, you did

(44:20):
jump higher than.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I thought I've got potential.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
I was ready to ridicule and laugh at you, and
I've got to say I'm quite impressed.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Thank you mate. Right, let's get I think we me
and you should go down and do this test.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah, all right, yeah. Vertical jump is measured with hand
height above head.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
Okay, thank you, all right, all right, on to this
next topic. This is going to be a great one.
Uber eats.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
It has been blamed for ripping off a lot of
restaurants around New Zealand, and in this case it was
a Glenn Eat and eatery. So it's drawing attention to
the hidden costs of uber EAT's deliveries. After receiving just
over a quarter of the revenue from three hundred bucks
worth of orders, that's how much they sold on a weekend,
and out of that three hundred bucks worth of food
they sold, they got a Measley This is their words

(45:02):
payout of eighty five dollars and thirty six cents, So
that's about twenty eight percent of the order's total value.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
You're getting ki on the text machine. It's straight legs, Tyler.

Speaker 11 (45:10):
You hear it.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
We're going to do it again. We're going to have
to do it again.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
Straight leg What are you doing with your bent legs?
You can't go into a crouch position, Tyler, she thinks anyway.

Speaker 4 (45:21):
Right, okay, so we got we've got someone on the
line who reckons kid a Simon good.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Yeah, okay, yeah, So the I did that gest a
while a while back.

Speaker 17 (45:34):
And how they measure it the vertical jump portion. As
you stand against the wall, side onto the wall, put
your hand up and measure all your hands with your
feet flat on the ground. Right then you jump and
it's the difference between your handers on the ground and
where your hand can reach on the wall.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Right.

Speaker 15 (45:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
So so that that gives because that's the actual height
you've gone up to, rather than what Tyler was doing
was lifting his legs off the ground, which doesn't actually
change your height, you know exactly. Yeah, so disgusting.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
From you, Tyler, and you try and rip off the
New Zealand Police.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
All admiration I had for you disappeared.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
Yeah, well we're going to get past.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Did you pass, Simon and you got in and such?

Speaker 17 (46:16):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (46:18):
And how long you've been a cop for?

Speaker 11 (46:19):
Then?

Speaker 17 (46:20):
A very long time?

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Oh, you're right all right? And can you still pass
all those tests?

Speaker 7 (46:25):
Yep?

Speaker 2 (46:26):
How fast did you run the two point four k?

Speaker 17 (46:29):
You don't have to do that one against the Once
you're in, the testing changes so it becomes the physical
competency test, which is pushing the trailer, going over the
act top, tense and all that stuff. So it's a
different testing, but you're doing that everything. And you know
the average for that was about two minutes to do
that one?

Speaker 8 (46:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
And what why is it that the female test is
less than the male test? Because do female and male
officers do the same job though, don't they?

Speaker 16 (46:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (46:57):
This sounds like a trap question?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Have I have I trying to set you up in
trap question?

Speaker 5 (47:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Please the fifth?

Speaker 2 (47:04):
Shall we shoulder arms and let that one go through
the keeper? Simon?

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Thanks for you, yeah, man, fantastic.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
All right, So I've got some training to do then, Yeah,
I go through and I'll do it probably next time,
maybe after the break.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Okay, well here we go. Look now we need to
We've we've gotten broiled in the topic from the last hour,
so weak.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Sorry.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Yeah, and I'm misually quite part from that little jump.
So let's move on to some Uber Eats, which is
more in my line of thinking.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
And in the break, I'll get a Tyler to do
thirty five press ups with me sitting on his back.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Okay, great, pray for me.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
There's fourteen pasts too. If you're in the uber Eatz game,
really love to hear from you. If you're a restaurant too,
how much do you rely on this? And are you
like this Glenn Eden eatery that you feel completely ripped off?

Speaker 3 (47:43):
And what do you do? Oh on one hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. It's quarter past two.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Wow, your home of afternoon talk, Mad Heathen Taylor Adams
afternoons call Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty us talk said, be.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
Afternoon.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
It is seventeen past too, So we are talking about
Uber Eats. Is a restaurant in Glenn Eden, who is
calling foul over how much uber each charges them to
use this ser so they said, from a week of
uber EAT's orders totally three hundred bucks, the restaurant got
a easily pay out of eighty five dollars and thirty
six cents. That's only twenty eight percent of the orders.

(48:19):
The restaurant's manager said. Uber etz does not reduce its
commission when applying a buy one get free deal that
you often see on the app, charging restaurants a service
fee based on the total price despite their reduced payout. So,
if you're a restaurant owner, how do you actually feel
about uber eats?

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Why do you do it? Is this Texas says, I'm
sick of these I mean, I'm not agreeing with this text,
but there's there's something in this. I'm sick of these
uber eats restaurants complaining if they don't make enough money,
why do they do it? And that I guess that
would be the question there What advantage do you get
doing it? Because if I lost money by being a
radio DJ, I'd probably stop doing it, if you know

(48:55):
what I'm.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Saying, Yeah, one hundred percent. If you're not making a
profit on something.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Actually being on new st said, you're not a DJ,
You're not a disc jockey, a radio host, rightio. So
what love to hear from restaurants that run the uber
thing because we hear a lot about how hard it
is to make money from it and such. But why
do it? Then?

Speaker 4 (49:15):
Yeah, why wouldn't you just boycott it? And I understand
the rationale that if you're just one restaurant and you
decide not to use Uber eats, maybe and oh e
one hundred and eighteen eight years the number to call,
maybe you feel you're going to miss out because so
many people are using that platform. But if you get
a collective restaurants to say, no, buggy, you're thirty five
percent that I'm paying you for my food, I'm not
going to use you anymore. I'll go somewhere else or

(49:36):
have my own delivery service.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Whether it's the other other delivery services as well. Isn't
there out there? So that's interesting? And also, I mean
potentially it's because you pop up on people's app and
then they see your restaurant, they become aware of it
in the neighborhood and they visit it for it physically,
and you can make more money when they visit you physically.
But I don't know if I've ever been to a restaurant,

(49:58):
because I mean, I'm generally not sure that those restaurants exist,
A lot of them. I imagine a ghost kitchen. All right,
So some of this text says it's advertising, So it
is advertising because you've seen it. Yeah, but I don't
know is that putting your food the best foot forward
on your food by the time it's delivered on Uber Eats,

(50:20):
I mean fresh from the kitchen. You can't really compete
with that, can you.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Well, you know, I like a deal. I love a deal.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Yeah, you're stay yep.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
I'm very stally so when I go on Uber Eats
to look at some food for me, and may have
on a Friday night, i'd quite often have a look
and who's doing a buy one get one free situation?
And unfortunately I didn't know this. Maybe I should have
because it's still quite expensive. It's expensive for me, expensive
for the restaurant. The only one who's winning here is

(50:47):
probably Uber as a company, because a poor old driver
gets next to bugger all for delivering it to me.
But I always go for the deals, the discounts, the
fifty percent off because it's you haven't used the app
for a long time. Maybe I'm the dirty one here, Yeah,
well you are.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
But the thing is, well, McDonald's obviously one of the
biggest you know Uber Eat people of McDonald's, right, yeah,
so they must have found a way to make money.
Is that just pure volume? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Well I generally thought Uber was the one offering that
buy one, get one free, but it turns out as
the restaurant.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Jason, you managed to used to manage a franchise, is
that right?

Speaker 10 (51:24):
Yeah, I used to manage a franchise store that dealt
with restaurant brands and Uber Eats.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
And how did that work out for you? Did? Were
you making money on it?

Speaker 10 (51:35):
I thinktually you pay Uber and I think in the
store that I was managing, I think it was something
like thirty percent. So any a burger was worth ten
dollars not though I sold burgers, but they got freight
doors off automatically. That is why if you notice you

(51:57):
don't look at say KFC prices in store. In KFC
prices on Overer Eats more expensive on ober Eats.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
Right, so the end of your franchise makes the same
amount of money they just up the up the price
for the delivery.

Speaker 10 (52:15):
Basically, things like Uber fantastic to turnover. They're not good
for you but online, but that fantastic for turnover.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
So what what what advantages turnover if it doesn't lead
to increased profit profits?

Speaker 10 (52:28):
I suppose, I suppose what you're hoping is what you
use distance store, things like KFC or McDonald's, the bigger
ones you go, Oh, I quite like KFE I might
go in store today or even any that's that's really
what you're trying to rely on as that it might

(52:50):
lead to something else, I.

Speaker 7 (52:54):
Mean essentially, because yeah, I.

Speaker 10 (52:57):
Mean you're not You're not doing Uber to make money
sent right, I mean, I mean you could be in
the long term if it leads more customers coming in store. Yep,
I mean you And you're right about those restaurants. There
are several that I know, and I assumed there's a

(53:19):
lot more that that might be something that might be
a say, for example, established restaurant trading is another name
under huber eats.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Yeah, right, and so you might.

Speaker 10 (53:35):
I'll give you the example. And I don't know I'm
breaking anything, but I think there's a thing called bold.
I think I think it's called Bold or it might
be called the Egg. I can't remember now that was
right now, that was right out of a franchises. So
you might be thinking, oh, I can't stand that I'm
going to order this some feed and it's coming from

(53:57):
exactly the same exactly the same store.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
You could do you think you're more sophisticated.

Speaker 6 (54:04):
Yeah, you couldn't go in store to put in order.

Speaker 10 (54:09):
That was on Egg or Bold menu, if that makes sense.
That was that was online.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
That's that's interesting because I'm just actually, there's there's this
place that I order from a lot on and you know,
like I try not to order eats, but sometimes when
I do, I order from this place. And I've always
assumed it was a ghost kitchen just because its name
is so uh like not the kind of thing. Yeah,
and here you go, look, so I found it.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
Hang on a minute, does it exist?

Speaker 2 (54:38):
What it's saying? It's the Kang Order. Yeah, are they
running they're running a ghost kitchen.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Out of someone's running a ghost operation.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Wow orders close to my house.

Speaker 12 (54:51):
It's Tyler may be able to relate to this, because
Tyler will know would have heard of spag of leading
me spizza.

Speaker 10 (54:58):
I think they have about three or four different ghost
kitchens that they run out of their main business in
Montreal Hill.

Speaker 2 (55:07):
Right, Yeah, And so how do you make money out
of a ghost kitchen then? Is that just because you're
just a smaller area, you're not having to run white staff,
you're not having to have such a big premises and so.

Speaker 10 (55:19):
Well, I mean, I suppose you're essentially expected let him
as a pizza restaurant, they would spose essentially be utilized
on the same staff that are running there, so much
like they're running three or four side hustles on top
of their main top of their main deal.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
It makes sense.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
But Spags used to have, as you know, Jason, their
own delivery drivers. So I take it they've ditched their
own staff members and are just tapping into Uber and
the likes.

Speaker 10 (55:47):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure if they still have their
own delivery drivers. It's just I know you can certainly
get Spags on Uber, and I assume you can get
it on all them like Deliver, Easy Door Dash.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Tyler and Jason. I'm just absolutely reeling here that my
Nuzzy Goring's coming out of a Kyong order just down
the road from my house, that.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
I need more details on this. It sounds like they
run a good operation.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
Though it sounds like good. It sounds like good use
of text by money to be here.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Yeah, I wanted to see it trying to get a hit.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Everyone goes home at night and someone fires up the
stuff kitchen. You know it's good as long as it's
going back into the system on the.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
Heads off to them, Jason. Really good to check with you, mate,
Thank you very much for giving some uses. Go well,
I'll hit one hundred.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Eight and eight.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
Love to hear from you. Have you looked into where
your Uber Eats is coming? If you like Matt Heath,
did you find out it comes from a kuang or
order home?

Speaker 3 (56:47):
I mean if the food's good, the food's good, you know.

Speaker 2 (56:49):
No, it's not a home, it's the it's the heat office,
or it's a it's an office.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Oh it's government run.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Yeah, it's got the logo on the front.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
They've got to pay their bill somehow. I think they're
in trouble crying order. So if they wheeling out some
Thai noodles to try and fill that gap, maybe it's
a good thing.

Speaker 2 (57:04):
Well, I'll tell you what they do A fantastic coconut
oil stir fry and a really really good green curry.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Sounds nice. Yeah, it's really good, right, we'll give it
a nudge.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
The red curry is not too bad either.

Speaker 4 (57:17):
Oh, wite hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to
call if you are a restaurant. Have you ditched Uber
eats because it was too expensive using them? Or is
it a necessity of your business?

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Love to hear from you. It's twenty seven past two.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Matt Heathen, Tyler Adams afternoons. Call oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty on used Talk ZB afternoon.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
We are talking about uber eats. There's a restaurant in
Auckland that has had out at the fees they are
charged by Uber eats for delivering their own food. Love
to hear from you. If you're part of the restaurant industry,
do you use uber eats and what do you.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Get out of it? Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah, Hey, guys, the problem is it's turnover. You need
to turnover to pay everything. People aren't coming out, people
are lazy. They use uber It's a necessary evil for restaurants.
If they don't do it, they'll get it from somewhere else.
It's a no win situation. Yeah, people are bloody lazy.
It's so much more, so much more meaningful in life

(58:18):
if you either make your own meal or you go
out to a restaurant and sit down around other people.
And the least meaningful way to feed yourself other than
plugging it drip into your arm and just sitting like
a vegetable doom scrolling on your couch, is to just
use an app and call it in and all you
do is go to your door and pick up the
brown paper bag and sit down. And look, I'm not

(58:39):
I'm judging myself here as well.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
I've never felt good after ordering uberrets. I'll just say
that it was good at the time, and I look
forward to that beautiful meal coming overpriced.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
It's the doom scrolling of dining.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Abstly is a nice way to put it. Oh eight,
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
We've got headlines coming up. Then we've taken more of
your calls. If you're in the restaurant industry, why do
you use uber eats love to hear from you?

Speaker 13 (59:04):
Used talks it'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis it's
no trouble Blue Bubble. A thirty six year old woman

Back to Matton Tyler.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
Thank you very much, Scarlett. And we're talking about uber Eats.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
A restaurant in Auckland is pushing back on the chargers
that Uber Eats puts on them for selling their own food.
They're unhappy. What do you say, oh, one hundred and
eighty ten eighties and I'm going to call I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Still reeling from looking at the location of my ghost
kitchen and Kianga Order head office.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
I thought you'd got the address wrong, but then I
looked it up myself and camera and I have a
look and you're paying on. It's like the headquarters. It's
the way side up og cottage Industry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
I hire a private investigator to get to the bottom

have a lock through the window.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Get out of the housing game and into the noodle game.
You do it very well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Apparently got to tell you what their ping, Nan Curry
is very very good. Grant. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 12 (01:00:57):
Yes, hi Tyler. Now is this a new story or
that really old story that was resurrected again because this
is this topic's come up before.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, we've never done it before, but it's
based on a story that came out today.

Speaker 12 (01:01:13):
Okay, so I think that that outlet is probably on
the wrong level, you know, as far as how they've
got that relationship with with Uber. You could you could
have it to day do all the set up for
you and they'll do the deliveries. But you could have
a shot that where you have login and you could

(01:01:35):
set it up all yourself, so you know, the costs
are less and that you do your own delivery or
you just have picked up only or whatever. And so
the percentages are based on how much work Uber doing
for you versus you doing it for yourself as such.
So and you also mentioned three hundred dollars per week.

Speaker 4 (01:01:55):
Yeah that may yeah, that's how much they sold in
this particular week.

Speaker 12 (01:01:58):
Okay, that's that's a very low I mean, I know
a few businesses are doing three hundred dollars an hour,
you know sort of thing you do twenty four orders
per hour, and so.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Well, dinner time doesn't last that long, does it, So
you know rush hour and food is going to be
what five till eight pm and thirty maybe nine at
the latest. So you'd be wanting to do three hundred
an hour in that zone, wouldn't you.

Speaker 12 (01:02:26):
Well, there's a lot of businesses that will actually do
better if they go later in the evening and don't
try and do the pure rush hour when everybody else
is trying to hit the roads. So if you stay
open longer. There's a lot of the restaurants actually closed,
but you know, the physical restaurant closes to the public
as far as being able to sit in, but they

(01:02:46):
leave their restaurant kitchen open to do late night orders
for when pays come through and when shift changes and
shift workers in the middle of the night. So there's
plenty of opportunity, particularly after you know, sort of nine
o'clock or so. In a number of regions I've seen
for the trends to stay stay open otherwise. You know

(01:03:10):
a few of the shops that are open twenty four
to seven, like the night and Days on Uber or
McDonald's on Uber, or some of the overnight takeaways which
we I do know. You know, they'll open at four
pm in the afternoon and.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
They close it about.

Speaker 12 (01:03:26):
Four in the morning. They do really well with their
late night and so there's only a handful of options available.
So they're picking up pick out most of their business.
But if some of the restaurants want to just you know,
stay open till eleven or so, they have noticed that
they it is worth to them to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Yeah. Well, I mean yeah, and I get what you're
saying here around this news article coming up, because just
read out the exact details of it, Tyler, because that
does sound and like a lot of people are texting
through and saying kind of similar things to what you're saying,
Grant is they might not be doing it right. And
there are people that just whatever systems are in place

(01:04:04):
or opportunities they are in business, some people just don't
do it right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Yeah, and you're right, Grant. I mean, three hundred bucks
a week, that's forty two bucks a day. You probably
want to be doing.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Better than that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
So they sent through their receipt that they got from
uber eats, and it was sent to the Glen Eden
community basically saying please don't use uber eats because we're
getting dicked here. So effectively, they sold two hundred and
ninety nine dollars worth of their product over a week
and Uber they were left with after all the tanxes
from Uber and I'm just going through this receipt, they

(01:04:35):
were left with eighty five bucks. So that is quite
a big whack from Uber. If you sell three hundred
bucks worth of food and you only get eighty five
dollars back, Uber's taking a good.

Speaker 3 (01:04:44):
Chunk of that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
But you're hardly running a you know, a business of scale, there,
are you, no, you know, in terms of you know,
as you scale up, then you can you know, as
Grand points out, it's pretty small.

Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
Are there.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:05:02):
I mean I can be in a restaurants wait mate
as such, and there can be like eight drivers waiting
for their orders to come out. You know, they've all
got an order each, or more than one order each,
so that the kitchen is actually preparing, you know, for
eight and then outside there's another eight cars waiting, which

(01:05:24):
which is not the drivers that are in the restaurant,
the drivers that are waiting for other orders. So it's
good enough for the drivers.

Speaker 11 (01:05:31):
To be.

Speaker 12 (01:05:33):
Parked up waiting for those orders because they know they're
coming through.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Yeah great, if your call grant. Now going to the
sort of bigger volume operators, though, here we go this
text from Sean McDonald's franchise We take a significant hit
on rber not forgetting we still pay our rent and
royalties to McDonald's. We'd much rather you come to the
restaurant and purchase than sit at home and use uber
It's a case of having to play in that space

(01:05:58):
as everyone else does.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
Yeah, good point.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
So he's saying that they take a hit, even the
big franchises take ahead on it. Yeah, you know these
people are doing three easily less than three hundred dollars
a week. But I'm sure this McDonald's franchisee is doing
a lot more so is that they're taking a head
on it as well?

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Yeah, oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. If you're
in the restaurant game, have you tried to ditch uberretz
or do you need it for business?

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
And if you've traditionally.

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
Used uberrets are you starting to push back on that
because you get a better deal of going to pick
it up yourself or indeed eating in the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Love to hear from you. It is twenty two to.

Speaker 1 (01:06:29):
Three Matt Heath Tyler Adams with you as your afternoon
rolls on Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News Talk.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Sa'd be afternoon.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
It is seventeen to three and we are talking about
Uber Eats, the fees Uber each charges restaurant tours.

Speaker 3 (01:06:44):
Keen to hear your thoughts one hundred and eighty ten.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
Eighty now this Texas says, and Tyler and I have
had a fiery debate during the ad break we have
and it was on the back of this text here.
If you like a deal, go for first table. We
do it once a month. Great way to try a
different restaurant or one that out of your usual budget.
And I say I don't. If I want to go
to a restaurant, I want to pay them the full
price because they're running their business and I want to

(01:07:09):
support it. I don't want to be slipping in the
back end with the deal. Also, I don't know I've
been in radio long enough to have been those contra dinners.

Speaker 3 (01:07:18):
Yep, you've been.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Some poor restaurant has done contra with you and you
come in and everyone's working for nothing. And so as
that first table half price.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
It's fifty percent off. And so you've got a booken
before the main run and usually I'm sitting down to
eat at four thirty pm. And that's the way I
like it. There's nobody else in the restaurant. They don't
really you know, they don't treat you that well when
you get to the restaurant, So maybe that says they
don't like it that.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
Much, but I freaking love it. So we order up
large on the meals.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
But you've got to pay full price for a drink,
so only you order one drink and as much food
as I can eat and.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Then get out of there by five point thirty. It
is a good way to operate.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Gross what kind of restaurants you're going to high end
dining if I can right, A lot of them aren't
on First Table.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
But you know, if I can save fifty percent off
my meal, I'm going to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
Do it well. Tyler asked you to get some responses.
Read out. Read out what I sent you there. Okay,
this is what restaurants think about First Table.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
I never should have done this research.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
I know this is off topic from where the restaurants
can make money from being on Uber Eats or nice not.
But you know, in these difficult times, restaurants are trying
different things and so if they go on first table,
obviously it's working for them. But I send you this
read this out Tyler.

Speaker 4 (01:08:31):
So yeah, this was on a thread from restaurant owners
and the question was asked, what do you think about
first table and some of the responses here restaurant ownly here,
we are not on first table, as I firmly believe
in not discounting my offering. I would sooner add value,
dine at five and get your first round of drinks
or free dessert. But the rest feels a bit grubby. No,

(01:08:53):
definitely not on it. We were on it. But the
customers that came in with the most arrogant people you
could ever witness, no hate it. The demands from some
of the customers sitting to dine at four.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Point thirty was just not worth it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:06):
In the end, I've got to say, I wasn't that
manding when I sit down, I only.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
Go by myself.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
I am a first table customer and I just demand
your respect.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
It's only me as well, because nobody wants to come
and eat dinner with me at four thirty. But that's
the loss. That's the loss.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
I have canceled first table bookings that my partner has
made and rebooked in the normal time. You missing out
of respect for the restaurant.

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
You are missing out, Hey, deliver easy.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Is deliver easy in New Zealand owned someone saying, migrate
to deliver les easy. At least the money stays in
the country. Tony Troy, Sorry, welcome to the show.

Speaker 7 (01:09:42):
Thanks, Matt. How are you and Tyler with you? I'm
the first table boys that yeah kids, Ye, Matt, you
know five o'clocks a perfect time for us to eat.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
Oh mate, done and dusted in forty minutes and I'm
out the door before six o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:09:56):
I'm a happy man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Look if i'm if I'm going out for night fine dining,
I'm not taking my kids that don't care waste three
year old.

Speaker 7 (01:10:04):
I do find dining, but I've also met I think
you've got it slightly wrong. I think your eyesight's getting
it's kai on an order. Not all right?

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
I see what I've done there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:15):
We both felt on that. Well done?

Speaker 7 (01:10:16):
All right, it's coming out, are you boys? Hey? Look,
my wife didn't order on the weekend with four square
with your uber. She spent sixty five dollars yep, then
got a thirty dollars discount for being on Uber one,
and a further ten dollars discount for using after pay,
which she just paid off straight away, So she spent

(01:10:39):
a total of twenty five dollars including the delivery. It
was just madness, and all the food prices were at
the same price. So clearly these guys are all using
this just as a marketing tool to be able to
try and get people to go on.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
So do you think that the good people at four
square and I love a four square? Yeah, absolutely, there's
a brilliant one on your north road. Anyway, do you
think they're a non Are they getting kickbacks from Uber
for running this or are they taking the hit themselves four.

Speaker 7 (01:11:07):
Square, Well, the interesting one is Uber one, which you're
trying to encourage people to sign up. Yeah, would definitely
be covering some of their cost. The one for the
after pay scenario, they'll be covering that cost, I say.
And the four square we actually get it from is
an Alieslie, a fantastic operator called Nick. By the way,

(01:11:27):
it's a good shout out to him. But they would
actually be just sitting there and going we'll actually we're
covering a bit of a cost they'll be coming the
delivery costs and therefore, hey, everybody wins. They get good
marketing out there, and it sort of promotes it. And
I think we've got to realize a lot of this
is about marketing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
I mean, just as you were saying that, Troy, I
opened up my uber eatz account and the first message
I got was get thirty bucks off off your grocery.
So minimums been forty. That's a good good Nuds thirty
bucks off forty dollars worth of spend.

Speaker 7 (01:12:00):
I know where you're getting your shopping tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
Yeah, Well tell you what. I was involved in an
incident at four Square that lost them some money as well.
Just on Frot I stopped in to buy a bachelor's handbag,
and you know, I rotestree check in and when I
was picking off, I bought some flowers for my partner
as well, and then I knocked the little stand up,
the little plastic sort of advertising stand off the counter

(01:12:25):
and it smashed on the ground.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Oh those poor people, yeah right yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
And then in the nice security guard there at four
Squired eaton Terrace, he was like, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:34):
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, so scarpet.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
So my trip was cost neutral as well. It's probably
about the same as your wife's. Your wife's.

Speaker 7 (01:12:41):
Troy just another place you're banned from.

Speaker 3 (01:12:45):
Yeah, I put it on the list. There's a lot
of them. Troy always for your call mate, Yah, always
good to check mate. Oh e one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is the number to call. Plenty of tea's
coming through A nine two, nine to two as well.
It is eleven to three.

Speaker 1 (01:12:57):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way, Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News talksb.

Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
News Talks. There be it is eight to three. Plenty
of texts coming through A nine two ninety two.

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
How miserable is Tyler? Says this text and has the
cheek to only buy one drink. If it was my restaurant,
I'd taser him and throw him out, says this text. Yeah,
I mean I get it. And there's this text here
that goes and fair enough, Matt, I think you're being
a bit on your high horse about first table. It's
either I use that or I don't go out to

(01:13:32):
restaurants at all. What would the restaurant own a prefer Yeah,
and if a restaurant is signing up to first table,
that they want that to happen. But I think what
a lot of people are pushing back on is how
gleefully you said, Tyler, I have to pay full price
for the drinks. I only get one drink. It's just
the way that comes from a.

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Place of authenticity, authentic situation. But I've got to say, mate,
I'm having to look at first table right now. Toby,
that's a nice sushi restaurant on Ponzabie. There's a table
tomorrow at five o'clock. Do you want to come out
for some sushi fifty percent off?

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
No, that's worth a tasering of sushi. That is worth
a dasering.

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
And you will only no open up your wallet. Few
moths fly off and you get wondering. John, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 12 (01:14:18):
Thank you to nice to chat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
You've got you're you've got another option, another Wellington option
that might be better for restauranteurs.

Speaker 12 (01:14:28):
Yes, yes, I do so. A few years ago I
did a business course through Tiwanga and and we're encouraged
to think about what we should do, and so I
did a server of the restaurants in Wellington and found
that they were on a rainy Tuesday night sending something
like twenty five percent of the revenue offshore. And I thought,

(01:14:49):
that's a problem, like that's a that's a that's a
thing like So as a software developer, I later built
an app and I published it last week. And the
venues or anybody actually can add the happy hours to
the app and all the lunch specials and it's not
charging venue that restaurants anything.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
How do you make money off it? John?

Speaker 12 (01:15:13):
In the future, I'm thinking that I'll add a loyalty
program that the venues can run themselves, so they can go, well,
I should buy five coffees just like a stamp card,
then the six one is free something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Smart idea.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
And I still don't get how you make money out
of it.

Speaker 12 (01:15:33):
Well, the free coffee, I'd get that the cost.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
Of the free coffee. You do all this for the
cost of a free coffee.

Speaker 12 (01:15:42):
Yeah, I'm a software developer, so that's something I can
do with my spare time.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
And right, and so, so who delivers the food?

Speaker 12 (01:15:50):
There's no delivery, You've got to pick it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
Up, okay, right, right, I see so and what's pick
it up? What's the name of the app.

Speaker 12 (01:15:58):
It's called Happy Gigs, so Happy Gigs.

Speaker 5 (01:16:00):
It would read.

Speaker 12 (01:16:01):
Happy Gigs, so happy and gigs and the gigs, and
the name is because I want to add the live music.
I'm also a musician, so I team to promote nice
I mean at the events.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
I can see that working real well, John, because I
mean for me and a lot of people I know.
We use uber eats because it's easy to see what's
a new restaurant or what's closed, or what do we
feel like and you go through the options and quite
often I might just drive and pick it up to
try and save a bit of money. But hopefully that's
going to work. A treat for restaurant toos in Wellington.

Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
Yeah, I'm hoping.

Speaker 7 (01:16:31):
So.

Speaker 12 (01:16:31):
I just got back from China and in China it
was really interesting to look around and see everybody scanning
these FEWR codes and ordering their food that way. And
I think something like that is the way of the future.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Absolutely, and when does it go live?

Speaker 12 (01:16:47):
Well, it is life. So it would really help me
out if people could log on there and if you've
got restaurants in your area, and at the moment, I
only have Wellington, so there'll be nothing in Auckland and
nothing in the other areas of the country. But it
would really help me out if people logged on there
and if they have a happy hour special at their
local that the bars already promoting, if they could just
add that, it's really easy to do. Just click the

(01:17:09):
plus button, out the details, send it to me. I
just approve it and make sure it's not breaking the
lick of advertising rules and everybody else can can benefit
from that as well.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
Do you think you'll be New Zealand's next tech billionaire
off this or just have about twenty five three coffees
a week?

Speaker 12 (01:17:27):
I think I'm already getting free coffees. I'm already getting
free because the venues stay really appreciate it because it's.

Speaker 10 (01:17:33):
Not charging him anything.

Speaker 2 (01:17:34):
Yeah, and but I.

Speaker 12 (01:17:35):
Don't expect to be a tech billionaire. That It's not
my goal in life.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
I've got on you and what are you? In a band?

Speaker 12 (01:17:44):
I have been in a few bands, but not at
the moments. I'm more focusing on my kids at the
moment and helping them out with the music.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Love it on you mate, Thank you for your call.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
John, What a good man. Happy gigs dot co dot nz.
Go check it out and help John out. Great jet
coming up after three o'clock. Is it ever wise to
holiday with friends? One hundred and eighty to eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:18:06):
Your new homes are instable, then it's a teening talk.
It's Mattie and Taylor Adams afternoons on news Talk SEV.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
Very good afternoons. She you welcome back into the show
at seven past three. This is going to be a
great discussion traveling with friends. The group holidays. So a
story in the Herald that you can read right now
is about when it went wrong traveling with friends. The
author mentioned that they went on holiday with their friends
for six years and it was all going well until

(01:18:35):
a trip in Italy where one of the friends met
with met up with a couple of drunk lads on tour,
invited them back to the hotel and it all ended
up terribly with the kids and now they don't even talk.
So that is a hell of a situation when they
were having a good time and met some new friends
and the other friends just wanted to have that holiday

(01:18:55):
with their core group of close mates and clearly that
is quite an outrageous situation to be in Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (01:19:03):
Think the idea of going away with a group of
friends sounds great, but it's actually leads to inertia. I mean,
I was in Paris not so long ago, and I
was standing on the corner of the chans Lyse and
probably the Avenue Mautegne Wow Montaigne, and waiting for some

(01:19:27):
friends to make a big decision about what we were
going to do for the day. And it's just standing
there with it was about eight of us, and just
the inability to make a decision as a large group
of people just drove me absolutely mental, and so I
had to immediately become an independent operator. So I think,
you know, I think you can go away with people,

(01:19:49):
but the people you go away with to a like
to a city like say Paris, London, I don't know
where in New York. That's more of a just a
dinner type situation that you come together for dinner and tho'
are the only things.

Speaker 5 (01:20:02):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
It's different if you're going to a resort or you're
going on a golf trip or whatever. That's very different.
But the idea that you'd go away to another city
with people just to look at all the stuff absolute disaster.

Speaker 4 (01:20:16):
I think you've got to set the ground rules, though,
don't you, Because I love going on holiday with friends,
and I think I love the element that I don't
have to really make too many decisions for myself.

Speaker 3 (01:20:25):
There's always sheep. You're a sheep yep.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
So you know, Emma decides that she's going to go sightseeing,
and then Aunt decides he's going to go for a hike,
and the other fellows say we might go golfing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
Then I can sit there and say, I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (01:20:37):
Choose which one of those events I want to do,
or I might just stay in the betch and have
a few beers mid day because that's what I can do.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
And I'm trying to work at what place you're describing here?
So there's hiking, there's golf. What was the other thing
that person was doing?

Speaker 3 (01:20:49):
Just a bit of sight scene, a sighting sight scene
and you're saying at a batch, Yeah, staying at a batch?

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
What is the strip?

Speaker 3 (01:20:55):
If you think you know nine two nine.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Two, that's definitely not Patty.

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
But I but I love the element of and you're
quite right, you've got to set those ground rules that
if you're not into the group activity, then there's got
to be no shame of going to do your thing,
even if it's drinking in the hotel with yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Yeah, that's right, that's right. You can't. It's not a
tour party. It's not We all have to trek around
together to each different but that makes for a night
marriish experience.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
It's maybe breakfast at the hotel and maybe dinner, but
no expectation to spend any time with the What.

Speaker 4 (01:21:30):
Do you say, I one hundred and eighty ten eighty
do you love traveling with friends? And where have you
been with friends that actually worked out really well? Or
if you've got a couple of horror stories where it
didn't end so well, we're really keen to chat with you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
This Texas say is I've been going on overseas trips
with my mates for years now. It helps when you
have similar interests, but I always end up doing the
itinery and have buying from all my buy in from
all my mates on what activities we're doing months before
the trips. See this is good, good tip. So you
not ended up standing on the on the chans ls

(01:22:01):
and going where are we going? So you've got to
buy in months in advance. That way they can just
sit back and relax while I organize the fun for them.
So that involves sheep in a shepherd. So if you're
in a friend group with his sheep and a shepherd,
but you can't go away with a bunch of shepherds.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
No, you can't have too many shepherds. You've definitely got
to have a good mixture of sheep and shepherd. Ideally
one shepherd and a whole bunch of sheep. Or if
there's a couple of shepherds, and it's knowing that you
can do what you want to do. But I've just
figured out a gap in my logic here that if
you are going away overseas, then you've all got to
have a rental car. Reach that's the problem because then

(01:22:37):
if there's one rental car for everyone on the trip,
you've all got to do the same thing. And that
would do my head and I just I'll just rent
my own rental car.

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Or or worse like a rental Kombi van or something
you'll get loaded in and loaded out.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
Oh eight hundred eighty is the number to call. Do
you love traveling with friends? And where have you're gone?
Love to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
What are the tips? What are the tips for punishing
with a bunch of traveling with a bunch of punishing mates?

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
His talks, that'd be very good afternoon.

Speaker 4 (01:23:05):
It is fourteen past three, And what are the tips
for traveling with friends to make sure everybody stays friends?

Speaker 3 (01:23:10):
I wait, undred eighty is a number to call?

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
Six says Hey, guys, I went on an overseas trip
with my friend Carl. Karl is no longer my friend,
true Matt go with middle aged Kiwis and ask if
they want to climb that Swiss outlook or go and
check out the village. Then the result is we just
stay in the pub, which isn't isn't always a bad result? Jean,

(01:23:35):
welcome to the shape.

Speaker 18 (01:23:37):
Oh good afternoon everyone. Yes, About fifty years ago a
group that we were involved and as parents decided it
would be good for our inland to teenagers to have
the experience of the sea in the bush and the
birds on Stuart Island lovely. So it was all organized

(01:23:58):
and we got there after a very rough crossing that
everyone was seasick except me. But when we got there,
I realized I should have expanded on what I was
willing to do and what I wasn't going to do
because we were in a motel and I assumed that
we'd all be doing our own cooking as appearance, and

(01:24:21):
the teenagers were in another accommodation block, and I thought
they some of them were They were old enough and
smart enough to be able to at least get their breakfast.
But without me realizing what was happening, the leader, in
a male in the appearance group, nominated me to do

(01:24:42):
the cooking. Why and that's what I wasn't there for.
But anyway, I didn't argue because this was a done
front of me. In a bit of a shock, and
believe it or not, the teenagers all arrived up even
for breakfast. I was forced to do a lot more
than I thought I was able to do. I'd just

(01:25:04):
come out of about of sickness, and I thought I
wasn't capable of any of this, but obviously they man
thought I was.

Speaker 11 (01:25:13):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:25:13):
Yes, And then when we got.

Speaker 18 (01:25:16):
To the part of going through the bush, I was
brought up in the bush and these people were all
in land people that.

Speaker 7 (01:25:23):
I was with.

Speaker 18 (01:25:24):
I suppose that excuses some of it, but the leader
of the group became so anxious that one of the
kids would get lost running through the bush, that he
raced them from one end to the other, and I
never get chance to come into the brood or a
tree or anything. And totally my children were very cooperative
because they were right with the scheme and they had

(01:25:47):
been taken on adventures before. But anyway, it was a
very exhausting experience and one I wasn't willing to repete.
And the teenagers moaned and complained about not having any
TV and having to walk everywhere. Mine didn't do the
moaning the others did, and I found that, strangely enough,

(01:26:09):
I was fitter than most of them. So is that
a came out?

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
Well, But it's.

Speaker 18 (01:26:16):
Taught me a lesson, you know, as a very good
priest once told me. You said, if you want to
lose your friends, just go for a holiday with you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:24):
Yeah, exactly, That's exactly my point. It's a risky business
going away because suddenly you're at their whims, you're at
you know, you're living their life. And then there's some
very forcible people, and there's the sheep like Tyler. Then
there's shepherds like me. But did you stay at the
South Sea hotel when you were on Stuart Island.

Speaker 12 (01:26:44):
I can't remember what.

Speaker 18 (01:26:45):
There was only one block of Marytales when we were there.
We were lucky to get them and the children had
to go to some other I just forget what kind.
It was a good accommodation block, but.

Speaker 3 (01:26:55):
They couldn't even get.

Speaker 18 (01:26:56):
Their own breakfast.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Shocking, shocking, shocking. And you've held onto that for fifty years, Jean.

Speaker 18 (01:27:03):
Oh, well, not really, because I've taken mine on many adventures.

Speaker 15 (01:27:07):
Mine were a lot bitter they were taken on it.

Speaker 18 (01:27:09):
But it was brought home to me how me, how
all these other children hadn't had the good fortune that
mine had had because I always wanted to take them
to the bush and two adventures.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
Yeah, oh sorry, and all get.

Speaker 18 (01:27:27):
Them strong swimmers and all the rest that goes with
hiking and the rest of the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:33):
Gene appreciate your call. Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (01:27:34):
Good camp mum.

Speaker 4 (01:27:35):
I mean, Gene raises A good point is if you've
got someone in the group of friends that is really
good at doing the cleanup and just organizing that side
of things, and that's nice. That's that's when it's nice
to be a sheep. As long as they're happy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Jean wasn't happy. But if you got someone that enjoys
doing that stuff, it really helps.

Speaker 2 (01:27:53):
Come on a trip to Stuart Island over the fav straight.
You can do the cleaning.

Speaker 3 (01:27:59):
And the cooking. By the sounds of it, poor old Gene.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

Speaker 2 (01:28:05):
I've been going on overseas trips with my mates for
many years now. It helps when you have similar interests.
I hanging on already, bloody. You read that one out,
didn't I did? I?

Speaker 3 (01:28:12):
Yep, I think we've done that one.

Speaker 2 (01:28:13):
God damn me. Never go on holiday with anyone who
you can't afford to fall out with.

Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
Cheers Paul, Yeah, good advice that one.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to
call to you love going on holiday with friends? And
what are your tips for making sure it will go smoothly?
It is nineteen pus three Take it Cleaner.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call Oh eight hundred
and eighty ten eighty on news Talk, said.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
Very good afternoon. We're talking about traveling with friends. Is
it ever a good idea? And what are your tips
to make sure it all goes smoothly and doesn't fall apart.
Some great texts coming through on nine two ninety two.

Speaker 2 (01:28:50):
This one, Sorry you go, Tyler, Sorry you go?

Speaker 3 (01:28:53):
This one from Paul.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
We have a great time traveling with friends, especially on cruisers,
and we only see them for drinks and dinner in
the evening.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
Road trips are also great.

Speaker 2 (01:29:03):
See that's he's cracked the code there and it's breakfast
or drinks or dinner. You know, you can't be organizing stuff,
But then again, a cruise ship is very different. I
put a cruise ship or a resort in a totally
different camp, or a golf trip or something when you've
got to focus. I'm talking about going to a big
sight seeing city where there's lots of opportunities of different

(01:29:24):
things to go and look at, and someone spent three
months investigating every punishing restaurant in town and trying to
corral everyone to do it. I think you have to
form independent groups, particularly either yourself or you and your partner,
or a group of drinking buddies that break away from
the main group.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
Nicely said oh one hundred and eighty ten eighties number
to call a givin.

Speaker 15 (01:29:45):
Hey, I haven't had issues traveling with mates, have done
even just quite boys strips away and you're yelling, have
done trips to I think y'are in New York City
when we're living in London and over to Athens, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
Nice.

Speaker 15 (01:30:00):
But one thing that came across recently another Made of
Mind suggested was an app called I think it's called tricount,
but there's other apps that do it where each person,
if they're buying something, if they want to pay for
the meal, they say who else is there? Et cetera,
Or buy something that way, it actually divvies up and
tracks the costs, and then at the end of the
truck it breaks down who owes what and to who

(01:30:23):
and so that way it just solves any people under
playing or people feel like they're carrying other people financially.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Right, So, but how much do you break it down?
Because I mean, the thing that really starts argument is
a few arguments As you go out to a fancy
European restaurant and someone is just gazzling back the reds
like me, for example, well someone else is and you know,
you know, did you are you breaking it down to
numbers of drinks at the restaurant and such.

Speaker 15 (01:30:53):
I guess it all depends on what you're like with
your mates. The people I hang out with were all
fairly similar anyway, so we haven't had any issues with it.
But yeah, of course there may be some people have issues,
and I guess you're you'll either know who they are
or figure out, yeah, not to trouble with them.

Speaker 2 (01:31:12):
So how do you you know when you're on a
trip like this, because you know, obviously there's there's different
if you're like, say, for example, if you're all staying
in the same location as this article that describes some
people that want to stay up all night drinking and
making noise and going out to the clubs, and other
people want to have a quiet sleep and get up

(01:31:32):
at the at dawn and go and have a spiritual experience.
I mean, have you had any of those those problems
apart from financial ones.

Speaker 15 (01:31:41):
No, No, we're all fairly fairly like minded. Yeah, yes,
we do enjoy the same things. But then yeah, occasion
called for, we also enjoyed a good drink.

Speaker 12 (01:31:52):
So what was there?

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
What goot on you? What was that app called again, gav.

Speaker 15 (01:31:57):
The one that I've used was called on the Android?
Was called try count, but I think there's he's Yeah,
probably probably multiple apps out there that do a similar thing.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Yeah, brilliant.

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
It's a good tip.

Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
I mean, I've got to say if someone like you
met Heath's smashing bat bottles of Chateau Latour and then
right at the end you say, all right, so we
just split, we just split it evenly down the middle,
I'd be saying, no way, and hell are we splitting
down the middle?

Speaker 2 (01:32:21):
That's right? And someone else is doing Just the water,
just the water, just.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
The start of the me please, Oh eight one hundred
and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

Speaker 4 (01:32:28):
What are your tips for traveling worth friends? Plenty of
texts coming in, but we'll go.

Speaker 3 (01:32:32):
To aneta ane.

Speaker 2 (01:32:35):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:32:36):
Hello, So you went on a trip with friends very recently?
Is that right?

Speaker 15 (01:32:41):
Well?

Speaker 16 (01:32:41):
We did last year last day Pral twenty twenty four,
the four of us went to rarah Tronga together and
we stayed in my friend's son in law's Stanley home
and Rarah Tronga and we were there for three weeks.
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Sight Seed went out together,

(01:33:03):
went out separately, had days that we didn't bother going
out and just was really marvelous.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Was someone making the decisions and and some other people following, No,
not really were.

Speaker 16 (01:33:16):
We all kind of agreed with one another as girls
went off for a couple of times the messages and
left the guys to their own devices. Yeah, we were
very compatible. So it all worked out well. And on
the last night we went out for dinner by the lagoon,

(01:33:38):
and when we got home, my husband started to become
really really unwell, and over the course of probably about
three hours, he was so unwell that I decided we
really needed to get him up to the hospital. Oh,
I drove him. Why, my friend looked up the directions

(01:34:01):
and we got up to the hospital and they couldn't
really find out what was wrong with him, but knew
he was very, very thick, and said that we needed
to get back to New Zealand. So an air ambulance
was organized. Wow, and we came back by air ambulance.

(01:34:24):
My friends had to come back. They'd booked a flight
back anyway, which they ended up getting back. One of
the funny things in the ICU and Raratonga was I
was kind of sitting there beside my husband and saw
quite a large centipede walking across the floor. But anyway, anyway,

(01:34:44):
we got back to New Zealand and my husband was
an ICU for I think it was about eight or
nine days. And what had happened is he got a
strip of cocker a infection which had gotten through a
mosquito pize and he ended up with necrotizing fasci isis

(01:35:06):
so yeah, I know, so.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
He had and he came right that it was all
right in the end.

Speaker 16 (01:35:15):
Well, in the end, he's lost kind of he's lost
both legs below the names and he's lost all his fingertips.

Speaker 2 (01:35:24):
From from from that bite. And yeah, oh my goodness, sleepers.

Speaker 16 (01:35:31):
So he's been absolutely incredible, and you know, we're getting
on with it. But we're still really good friends with
their friends. We go away a lot with them, we
spend a lot of time with them. But that that
holiday was a kind of I guess that the end
of it was an extraordinary.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Sign, do you know what? And so at the start
of the score, you were talking about the wonderful time
you had on the on the holiday, and by the
end it's really took a turn that story. So you know,
the last night, yeah, and and how's your husband spirits?
And stuff. Having gone through all that.

Speaker 16 (01:36:13):
Yeah, really good. He's a very positive guy. I'm not
saying he hasn't had his moment. Yeah, hopefully he will
be in Pacific soon and can attempt to be walking.
And we've got a new car which is going away
in a couple of weeks to be modified so he

(01:36:35):
can drive it. So here, I'll tell you what you're
complete change of life. I have to say, complete change
of life.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
I tell you what you say. He's a positive person.
But and you seem like a positive person as well.
You know the way you're you're you're focusing on this
and dealing with that situation. That's it's quite impressive from
both of you.

Speaker 16 (01:36:56):
Yeah, I guess, Yeah, your sink was from I guess
when these things happen, don't you. But I would go
away on holiday with my friends again and a heartbeat.

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
And thank you for during that story that I've got
to say took an unexpected twist.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
Certainly did I mean, how positive for her? But clearly
the end of the story cheaper is and that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Was this Texas has just canceled my holiday to RaRo.

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
I was going to talk about, you know, trying to
find the hospital and Rara Tongas. I mean you just
go around out of Tatpou, don't you. Yes, that's just
the road that goes what it's about thirty two k
so you either go clockwise or anti clockwise. So there's
a good chance you're going to find in the hospital. Yeah,
but boy oh boy, and yeah it should be caller

Yeah, okay, so here we go. Traveling with Friends' rules
is a great text. Traveling with friends is from Joe Anne. One.
Have a long weekend trial first to check compatibility. Nice
like that too. Spend time beforehand planning. Be honest about
your preferences.

Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
Good.

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
Three don't talk politics yes. Four, don't let one person
make all the decisions, no matter how strong they are.
Five don't talk politics. Six don't expect to do everything together.
Seven don't talk politics.

Speaker 3 (01:40:04):
Very good. Yeah, I think that spot on. Never talk
politics on a family trip away. Oh, eight hundred eighty
ten eighty is the number to call.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
That was from Joan and guys when we traveled as
friends around Europe about thirty odd years ago. If things
got a bit tense, we would just rip the piss
out of each other in a high voice. Diffused any situations. Yeah,
you've got to have a sense of humor when things
go wrong. Sometimes that can flame the situation.

Speaker 2 (01:40:28):
Andrew, welcome to the show you.

Speaker 12 (01:40:31):
Today, guys.

Speaker 8 (01:40:31):
Now, I'm just got a bit of a story for
your wings to go down on an annual pilgrimage to
the wire wrapper, stay in the dock hut and take
plenty of beer with us, and it was between four
and things of us. And when we got there would
play a game of cards and the loser of that
game of cards would be a hut person. I'm not
going to say what we call them, but yeah, right,

(01:40:53):
that started with anyway, they had to make the cup
so you get the fire on and do everything for
the entire trip. And they had to do it when
they were told otherwise it was the team beating. Wow,
and it made it for hilarious time.

Speaker 11 (01:41:07):
A team beating did you say, yeah, which was still
sort of these legs and a bili rum. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:41:16):
And then if we wanted to wake up at two
in the morning and one of a couple of things,
they had to get up and make it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:21):
Far right and so what so at any time of
the night you could just go, okay, I want get
me a drink for the whole truck.

Speaker 3 (01:41:28):
Cup and sea please, cup and sea please Jesus like
a red cards.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
So you know we're people. You know, people would take
advantage of that when you'd be sitting your alarm to
wake up the two thirty just a.

Speaker 12 (01:41:39):
We were and see when we drove down there, who
was going to be?

Speaker 10 (01:41:44):
Yes, and it was everyone.

Speaker 8 (01:41:46):
You know, some people had it twice which I didn't subtly.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):
Yeah, So basically if you go to if you go
too crazy in your when you don't get it, then
then the retaliation the next year could be could be
pretty pretty stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:41:59):
Oh yeah, that was taken into consideration.

Speaker 2 (01:42:03):
So so this is so how did you decide it?
At the start? A game of cards?

Speaker 11 (01:42:07):
Was that?

Speaker 2 (01:42:08):
Did you say?

Speaker 8 (01:42:10):
And the last one standing was the person who had
to be that person?

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
See, this is a great idea. You could do this
on any any trip. So you've got a lifetime trip
to I don't know, I keep talking about Paris because
this is where it blew up in my face and
someone loses and they're just your valet for the whole
time everyone's butler.

Speaker 4 (01:42:28):
Right, sounds good unless you're right. I mean, this sounds
like it's a lads trip, though, Andrew, how would it howl?

Speaker 6 (01:42:33):
Would it go a lad trip?

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
Yeah? How would it go? If you had the wives
there as well?

Speaker 4 (01:42:36):
I'm sure they wouldn't you know, if they were the
last one standing, they just refuse.

Speaker 8 (01:42:42):
It wouldn't have happened.

Speaker 2 (01:42:42):
Put it that way, you could have the service couple.

Speaker 3 (01:42:45):
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's a good point. Oh, one
hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
I mean, if you played that game where everyone puts
their credit card in the middle of the table and
then you shuffle the credit cards and the one that
comes up pays for all of it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:58):
That's terrifying. That is real.

Speaker 2 (01:43:00):
You like the odds because if you've got ten people
around the table, then you know you've got you know,
you've got like a ten percent chance of having to pay,
so you go loose.

Speaker 4 (01:43:08):
That's yeah, that's pretty goodds. Actually, And then do you
order the food and it's at that point then you
draw the credit card at.

Speaker 2 (01:43:14):
The end of the meal. At the end of the meal,
so you draw the credit card out randomly and that
person pays for all of it.

Speaker 3 (01:43:21):
That's a great game.

Speaker 4 (01:43:22):
I eight hundred eighty ten eighty is a number to call.

Speaker 3 (01:45:17):
Oh very nice. Yeah, good stuff. Andrew, are you all
right yourself?

Speaker 19 (01:45:25):
Looked like Carl needed to sleep with that guy's wife
and then everyone would have been happy.

Speaker 7 (01:45:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:45:29):
I'm just going to work out. Im getting on a
bit of paper here to work out who was with
her and who missed out?

Speaker 19 (01:45:35):
Karl needed to sleep with the Texas wife and then.

Speaker 3 (01:45:39):
Then it would just like her.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
Only Carl's name is the only name that's come through with.

Speaker 3 (01:45:44):
This, Poor Carl Kill.

Speaker 11 (01:45:47):
A week.

Speaker 19 (01:45:52):
About ten years ago, I was just in my very
early sixties and there were three couples of us camping,
and I guess tomorrow of the stories, you've got to
have a sense of humans. And so we were in
the pool and we were we were having bombing comb
We're all about the same age. By the way, there's
no teenagers here, and we were having this discussion about

(01:46:16):
how embarrassed our children would be if they could see
us now. And at this time I'm standing on the
side of the pool. This is a new too, my dad,
and I said, my son's got this T shirt and
across the top it says it's only funny until someone
gets hurt, and then underneath it says, then it's something

(01:46:38):
removed hilarious that I launched myself off the side of
the pool to do my bomb, tore my cart muscle,
ended up in the hospital with a compartment syndrome. Five
surgeries later in the months in hospital.

Speaker 2 (01:46:58):
Wow, and so what was that? Just bad luck or
poor technique from you Andrew Parts.

Speaker 19 (01:47:10):
But the funny thing is is they all talk pity
and just talk about admiring your mate's wife, you know,
but they all talk pity on us. And they're collecting
our tent and packing it up, and my mate's wife
go on hands and knees with their ars in the air,
winding the tent up, and I keep telling her to
move over to the left, and my mate's laughing his

(01:47:32):
head off because he knows it's I can get a
better look at her bottom. And you know, it's all
just about being having fun with each other and being
relaxed with each other. And and so you know, my
mate took me after hospital and we had we and uh,
it's still a laugh to this day.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
Yeah. Well a month in hospital, month and a half
in hospital, did you say month?

Speaker 19 (01:47:54):
Now, I's thirty two days, five stress, thirty two days
and then six.

Speaker 12 (01:47:58):

someone takes ages to get ready and you feel like, yeah,
at your precious time aways being taken from you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:25):
So you've got to go independent. I just see everybody knows,
and I've mentioned it a couple of times the show
that I'm a bit of a scrooge, but even I
I mean, when it comes to sorting out the finances
after traveling with friends and family, nah, just pay whatever
you've got to pay to keep things smooth. That's the
only time that actually costs me more than probably should.

Speaker 2 (01:49:43):
So many texts about Carla, including one from the original
text to saying, don't use Carl's name, you know, but
you needed to say that before you texted it in.

Speaker 4 (01:49:52):
Come on, mate, you can't. You can't name drop Carl
and then say that to us after the fact.

You've got a great story about traveling with a mate.

Speaker 1 (01:50:40):
Yes, could.

Speaker 20 (01:50:41):
I Tyler, probably several years ago now, is traveling as
a good mate, and we had been traveling for probably about.

Speaker 12 (01:50:47):
Three months and had got on.

Speaker 20 (01:50:48):
We're getting on fine, but this one particular day we're
just getting on each other's wick. And we were actually
traveling on the London Underground and we weren't really talking
to each other, and we were walking down through the
tunnels of the underground and I just ran past him
and flicked him on.

Speaker 3 (01:51:01):
The back of the head with a newspaper as.

Speaker 20 (01:51:03):
You did, just a white windy martervent and he ended
up see me all the way all the way back
to where we were staying, through the streets of London
and caught me just on the front lawn outside the
house was staying. We had a bit of a punch
up on the front lawn.

Speaker 2 (01:51:18):
So you you didn't flick him on the back of
the head and anger, though, did you? John?

Speaker 20 (01:51:23):
No, I was just taking I was just trying to
wind him up a bit because I knew he was
a bit grumpy.

Speaker 7 (01:51:27):
So it wasn't anger.

Speaker 2 (01:51:28):
It was just a bit of a and he really
wound up, and he.

Speaker 12 (01:51:32):
Got really wound up.

Speaker 20 (01:51:34):
And he was smaller than me, but he was a lot.

Speaker 6 (01:51:37):
Stronger, so I'd say he won the fight.

Speaker 7 (01:51:40):
We didn't.

Speaker 20 (01:51:40):
We didn't talk to each other the whole night, but
the next day had all forgotten and we just got
on with our with our travel.

Speaker 2 (01:51:45):
Well did he land any punches on you?

Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
John?

Speaker 15 (01:51:48):
Nah?

Speaker 11 (01:51:48):
Nah, wasn't that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
He wasn't that good.

Speaker 5 (01:51:50):
I was, it was.

Speaker 3 (01:51:51):
It was just it was more of a wrestle than
a fight.

Speaker 8 (01:51:54):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
You know, It's funny that thing when you're on holiday
and you nextually assume, because you're over there, you're all
going to be having a good time, anyone's going to
be incredible mood. But sometimes just people for some reason,
maybe your jet lag, maybe I don't know, whatever happens,
and and you're just in a bad mood on holiday,
and when you're in a bad mood on holiday you
feel like you're burning cash for no good reason.

Speaker 7 (01:52:15):
Well, we were.

Speaker 20 (01:52:16):
We were sort of living in each other's pockets, you know,
for a long for a relatively lengthy period of time,
three months, and living in use hostels and stuff like that. Yeah,
we were, you know, and we just we just had
had enough of each other one day and that was
that sparked it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
But that was we needed to get out of it. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 15 (01:52:35):
See grass staines later and we were sorted.

Speaker 4 (01:52:37):
Did anyone say anything in the crowd where you guys
were having a bit of a rumple on the lawn.

Speaker 20 (01:52:42):
Well, we were actually staying with my with my cousin
and she came out and had to go with us.

Speaker 12 (01:52:50):
Yeah, it's all a bit weird, but it was. Yeah,
it was good fun.

Speaker 4 (01:52:54):
Yeah, that's a good story. Thank you very much for
giving us a buzz. John a couple of texts here
Giday guys. We travel each year with a group of friends.
The main thing we make sure is everyone pays for
their own meal. We all know folks who like to
have an entree, main dessert, except etc. While others only
want a pizza. We all pay for our own booze
to All travel arrangements are sorted out before we depart

(01:53:15):
New Zealand. Sometimes we fly on different airlines depending on
where we want to stop or airlines. Once we meet
at our first stop, we stay together. We do occasionally
decide to do our own thing for a day or two,
but no animosity all works very well.

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
From sue this, Texas says, only travel with people who
agree with your politics. Don't even take a risk. But
what if you agree with one member of the couples
that you're going away with a group of couples and
often you know the husband will have different politics from
the wife or vice versa. What do you have to
sit down with them and grill them and make sure
they agree with you on issues? You just go through
the ten issues of the day and go, okay, where

(01:53:49):
do you sit on that? Okay? All right, right now
you're out. You can't come because you make We know
here you don't agree with me on that one?

Speaker 5 (01:53:55):
You do?

Speaker 15 (01:53:56):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:53:56):
What about speed bumps? How do you feel about those?

Speaker 4 (01:53:58):
Just give them a week survey before you go on holiday.

Speaker 2 (01:54:02):
How do you feel about an inheritance tax?

Speaker 4 (01:54:06):
And this one's a good one to guys my husband
and I did the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne with
our best friends. She was amazing and did all the bookings.
We had a separate car but traveled in a convoy
where ever we went, had separate motel rooms, but met
up for evening meals. It worked out beautifully. Just that
quiet time with our spouses in the car and motel
evenings gave us and them time to themselves. Awesome friends.

Speaker 2 (01:54:29):
From my experience, if you take a trip with friends,
just stay away from the mirrors.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
Well Mark, okay, Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:54:37):
I see what kind of trip you were talking about.
