Speaker 2 (01:11):
Tell you what so Bill Bailey's just been in here
for an interview, A big fan of the man. Yeah,
obviously touring the country and Cheezy smells good, smells real good.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
I don't know what sort of after Shavey's got on,
but it's beautiful. I walked in here, I thought this
is nice.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
And for his musk to cut through from Hosking's overpowering
scent in the studio when we arrive in strong I
think Hosking's one of those people that doubles or triples
his fragrances.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
He's got a heavy pow on the deodorant. But yeah,
nice to know.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Bill Bailey smells good.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah, absolutely, just before we get into it as well.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Some sad news, Matt Heath, and I'm not actually I mean,
it is said news that you didn't get to go
down to christ Jews, But that's not the sad news
I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yere bloody flight was canceled.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, that's unfortunate. The sad news that I'm talking about
here is Colin. I was going to be looking after
your beloved dog, Colin over the weekend, and we had
all these adventures planned out. Pepper, my dog, was really
looking forward to and turns out Colin was actually looking
forward to it as well.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Mate, Yeah, that's right. He was very disappointed because dogs
love an adventure, and he knew that there was an
adventure coming.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
He packed all his goods together, you know, his bed
was ready to go.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I said, he's going over to Tyler's house to hang
out with Tyler's dog Pepper. They're going for a walk
in the bush and not but no, he was upseet
it actually, And I sent you a picture last night.
I had sad Colin looked about the whole situation. So
I've actually put it on my Instagram. If you want
to see how how sad Colin is, go to Matt
Heath and Z and click on my story. He was

(02:43):
really sad about it, actually, yeah, so do you want
to take him anyway? You could take him for just
like a playdate?

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
I mean then I sent you a picture of Pepper
and she was patiently looking out the window waiting. I
didn't have the heart to tell her because we told
her Colin was coming and she was just sitting there waiting.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
I didn't know that your dog Pepper was such a
striking animal. Pepper looks like some kind of renaissance oil painting.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah, she's got that lurcher type body. You know, she's
part greyhound, part something else. Yeah, she's regal as you here,
it's very regal.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
No, thank you.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Right on to today's show after three o'clock because it
is a Friday New Zealander of the Week.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah, it will it be nine two nine two. Have
your say. It hasn't been decided yet, so if you've
got someone that you think should be the Matt Heath
and Tyler Adams afternoons New Zealand of the Week takes
it through nine two nineteen.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Looking forward to that. Also, it's still all die for
this topic.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
We've tried to get it off the ground a couple
of times, but we couldn't because the other topics we
had when absolutely crazy. So today's the day we want
to talk about unusual pets. This was after Wellington Council
got a bit concerned with residents adopting cute but pesty possums.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, so let's just talk weird pets. If you've got
a weird pitt. There's someone that's texted through with a
couple of ferrets already night and we just want to
hear what you got. You got to x Lott.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
What do you got, Yeah, come on through that. You
got a snake, Yeah, we'll take it all. That is
after three a clock.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
You got a panther. We want to hear about it.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Oh, I definitely want to hear about the panther. Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
After two o'clock you're running a python, tell us about it.
That is after three, after two o'clock. This is after
an onslaught of public commentary around her appearance. Her name
is Chloe Pink. She is married to an AFL superstar
over in Australia, Toby Pink. But this was after they
had their wedding photos and of course they were published
because he's a big deal, so they were put in

(04:39):
the newspaper and then a whole bunch of nasty comments
came through on those stories. So she said they felt
so gutted by it that they're going to redo these
wedding photos.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Yeah, and look, I'm just going I just want to
question the whole wedding photo thing. Surely a couple of
shots in your iPhone will do. You don't need to
spend ten grand on it or a video. Has anyone
ever watched a wedding video? I don't think so. And
also in this d and age, when every punisher at
a wedding's filming it on their phone, can't you just
get klatal that?

Speaker 7 (05:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
You know the price is right, Yeah, I mean it's
harder to get people not to film things then to
get people to film things. There. So, has anyone ever
watched or looked at their wedding photos of videos? Again? Eighty?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
That is after two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
We are hitting the hard topics today, Tyler.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Certainly.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Ah, yep, no Stone left done Ton today. But right
now let's get into this one. This is going to
be a great chat. So the granny flat legislation has
passed with flying colors. It was unopposed in Parliament, so
it was going to come into place from next year.
This means that you can build a granny flat in
your bankyard or your front yard for that matter, up
to seventy square meters without any sort of consent from

(05:46):
the council. A lot of people will be hearing that
and saying you beauty.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, and isn't it crazy that you weren't allowed to Yeah,
I mean that's that's the real story here. You weren't
allowed to have a little structure up on your own house.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
How big are they allowed to be? Up to seven
seventy square meets seventy square meters. That's pretty there's pretty cozy,
And it doesn't matter if it's a granny in there.
You can have a couple of it's in there, can't you.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Yeah, I would have thought so, yeah, yeah, it doesn't
have to be a grannie. Is that it's on the legislation.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
You have to prove that there's a grannie in there. Well,
it's the second d or over talking about granny flats,
because yesterday I was saying around retirement or was it
the day before that? I just wanted my kids to
help up a granny flat and have me out the
back so I can watch sport, drink Gordon's gin, and
you know, help out with the grand cats.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Yeah, that sounds like a good retirement.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
So yeah, are you looking at having up a structure?
What kind of structures are there out there to do?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
You know?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know you can get you can get the kit.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Sets, yep, you can yeah, And how much room do
you actually need? I mean seventy square meters that is
pretty cozy. That's a kitchen, probably lounge, open plan, maybe
one bedroom, a bit of an en suite.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
I eight one hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah. And also because there's another story that we were
going to talk about yesterday, how small can a house be?
Because more and more people are living in apartments with families,
So how many kids can you keep in one room?

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know, I share. I shared a room with my
two sisters. It was fun. But you know, do we
expect too much space now? Because if you've got mum,
dad and two kids, you only need two bedrooms.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yep, one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, that was commonplace right that if you're kind of
at similar age, even if you're not at similar age,
just chuck up the bunk beds and go to town.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:23):
Fun.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
And if you've got a bit of land, you know,
you've just got a bit of a backguard. Put up
a granny flat and have three or four kids out there.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Sweet as sounds pretty good. Oh, one hundred and eighty
ten eighty is that number to call? It's thirteen past one.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and
everything in between. Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons used talks.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
They'd be very good.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Afternoons you it's sixteen past one, so we're talking about
granny flats. It's all go from next year to whack
up a granny flat in your yard without consent up
to seventy square meters. So a lot of people will
be happy about that. But we're also talking about a
new trend with families moving into small apartments.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
It's the new key we dream. So how much space
you actually need?

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah? How small can you go in terms of your
living arrangements and how many kids can you fit in
one room? Yeah, that's we're talking about. So if you
have up one of these granny flats, they have to
still comply, right, so you have do you still have
to tell the council flats must comply with the building
code and be constructed by authorized professionals. What so I
can't just tip it up?

Speaker 5 (08:23):
Yeah, I probably misspoke.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just thought it's my property or have up whatever
I want. Thank you very much. Counsel and government you
tell them and so you has to stick up to
the building stick to the building code. Hi, Matt and Tyler.
Regarding small houses. Two years ago, I moved into one
that is around eighty square meters, So that's that's not
bigger than it, much bigger than a granny fact flat.
I don't like it, finding it very small and there's

(08:47):
only one of me. These people who lived here before
had two boys and work from home. There is little storage.
Where did they still the close biddings, toys, et cetera.
I'd love to meet them to ask and congratulate them
apparently still being married after they left. Thank you for
your text gate. Yeah, I mean, if you ever seen
any that footage out.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Of Hong Kong post coffin apartments, Yeah, they are freakish,
aren't they. Yeah, because I think that's the thing with
the apartment living. I'll get it with the granny flat,
but I still think you need just a bit of space,
a little bit of outdoor area that if things get
a bit much in the old family dynamics, at least
you can just take a step outside and have a breather.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Are they only called granny flats because Grandad generally died
from before we moved in with family?

Speaker 5 (09:29):
I mean, you've always got the good questions here, mate,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
William, welcome the show. Your thoughts on this new granny
flat legislation.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
Hi, guys, A great subject. It sounds very nice and
very easy to whack a room up out of the
back and maybe rent it out or put Granny and
out there without any consents and everything. Yeah, but the
facts are that, you know, if you want Granny to
be able to go to the toilet, you've got to
put a toilet in. Then you're going to connect it
out pipes, there's drainage, there's weights, so there will be

(10:00):
resource contents to pay, there'll be application, there'll be contribution
in that way, so there will be a lot of
money to outlay. It's not as easy as just putting
a room up and then renting them out of So yeah, Grannie,
welcome to your new house.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yep, you've got walk fifty three hundred meters to the
house to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 10 (10:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Hey William, Yeah, because what about does that include? Would
wuld that include all kinds of plumbing like a kitchen
because when I was growing up with there was a
grannie flat and on our farm and it had like
a kitchen but didn't have the bathroom in it.

Speaker 9 (10:32):
Yes, anything that goes under the ground, if you're going
to have water waste or any pipes, anything under the
ground needs resources and applications and contributions and all sorts
of things. Anything that you put in above the ground,
maybe you're going to connect up the wiring from the
shed for the power or whatever. I think that's and

(10:53):
my understanding, that's okay. Anything under the ground you'll need
resource contents and contributions and all sorts of things.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
So what about the authouse at house style, Not that
Granny does you know, should be using an outhouse, But
you could get away with it, couldn't you just take
a hole?

Speaker 11 (11:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (11:09):
Dropped?

Speaker 9 (11:10):
You can get one of those portable cassette toilet kind
of things. The cassette and you can draw straws. Who's
going to go out today and be Grannie?

Speaker 5 (11:19):
She came from a golden time. You know they are
hard back then.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
What about prison styles for.

Speaker 12 (11:27):
The window?

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, bucket, Yeah, No, we're gotta we're gonna make We've
got to make sure Granni's got to start.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Well, thank you for you call William and you have
a great weekend. Yeah, you want Grannie to have a
nice bathroom and shower.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Good on, sweet and but.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I mean the Grannie ship clap the Grannie the Grannie
flat name is just the name for it. Right, So,
I mean a lot of people. Obviously we're getting bogged
down in Grannie.

Speaker 7 (11:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
It doesn't have to just be Nana in the back.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
But you might be having a you might be having
a fifteen year old son out there.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
Yeah, you know, and that would be a jack for
a teenager.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
And then they don't really need a bathroom, just.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Ned a bottle. Good to go.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
One hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number of
cool Evan Welcome to the show.

Speaker 11 (12:11):
Yeah, I'm just having a look on the building to
performance site.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
It's the government site about it's more so about the
serism or that discharge. I can't see anything about it
on that. And also your previous caller, you don't need
a resource consent or looking to do straight three waters
which is two A power and silm water. So I

(12:40):
just mean, like the council, it's getting a lot more
output to their systems. How do they recover the costs?

Speaker 13 (12:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Right, So so you're saying that you can connect up
your you know, your pipes.

Speaker 8 (12:55):
Well, I'm on the government we currently and I can't
see anything saying about about what these are going to be.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, well I guess if it's if I must comply
with the building code and be constructed by authorized personnel.
So if they have to comply to the building code
when they're putting it together there.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
I comply to the building code. Are they notifying counsel
that we are doing a semi square meetas that you've
got to have two bathrooms and a kitchen.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
Yeah, it's a.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Good point because if you're just going to allow a
granny flat to be set up, but you don't allow
the plumbing to be non contented as well, it's just
a shack, isn't it.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
It's just a shit in your beat garden. You may
as well go to.

Speaker 8 (13:37):
Holy And also recently in Christius they have the development controverss.
They've gone for about twenty two thousand per new site
to about thirty five thousand.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
It's money you.

Speaker 8 (13:55):
Paid direct to the council.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Yeah, crazy, like per unit or per house.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
Now, are you going to have to pay that same
fee for granny flat? I'm just I hope not.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's a that's a wow. So I mean, if you've
got a if you've got a shower and a kitchen
and a some kind of facilities in there, and that's all,
and that's all you know, piling out all your gray
water and sewerg just piling out of it. Then I
can't imagine the council won't want to come and pin you.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
Yeah yeah, well it's only for ever everyone.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Else is yeah yeah, you have to notify that the
councilor at the start in completion of the building. So
yeah yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:36):
Yeah, I can't you have anything else say, it's where
the beast charge for the best things.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Well, Evan, thank you very much. We will get to
the bottb of that. We might try and have a
check to the minister in charge of all of this
actually and just put those questions to him. But can
you hear from you, oh eight hundred and eighty ten
eighty if you have built a granny flat in your
back garden, love to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
How was it?

Speaker 4 (14:58):
What was the process like? Was it a massive challenge
with the council? And hopefully there's this new law is
going to speed things up. Nine to nine to is
the text, lads?

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Is this texture sextor. I don't have to worry about
a bathroom for my grandmother. She's running a colostom me bag.
You learn not to hang out around her when she's
had a lasagna from matt oh. Okay, now, thanks for
your input there.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
It doesn't make it easy. You don't have to notify
the council for that sort of behavior, which is a
good thing. Poor Nana, Poor Nana.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The headlines and the hard questions. It's the Mike asking breakfast.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
When I read the headline this morning, a defining moment
in our history?

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Is it?

Speaker 14 (15:38):
I don't see it that way at all. I said
it as a moment where accumulated frustration was expressed. Those
messages have been sent many times. We've heard them. It
doesn't solve anything. Getting back and finding a way forward
is the only way to get through this, and we
both parties have to be able.

Speaker 10 (15:54):
To do it.

Speaker 14 (15:54):
We've actually achieved settlements, so we know that we can
do it. We just need the unions to see it
the same way. We need to make trade ers. I've
made significant trade offs. They need to come to the
party and be prepared to make trade us. I have
not seen that yet.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Back Tuesday from six am, the Mic Hosking Breakfast with
Bayley's Real Estate News Talk.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
ZB twenty six past one.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
All right, so just to clear up a few things here.
You know you can look this up on building dot,
guft dot m z's. The building must be new and
standalone for this granny flat. The building must be single
story and cannot include a mezzanine floor. What's wrong with
the mezzanine floor?

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Where's the store it's going to go? Where's nana surfball go?

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I love a mezzanine floor. Yeah, I'm actually putting one
into one of my son's rooms, so class set up. Yeah,
I love a mezzanine. The building may include an internal garage. Wow.
The building is classified as housing detached dwelling. That means
it must comply with all the requirements of the Building
Code that apply to this classified use be intended for
a single household or family. News a weird one. Who

(16:54):
cares if it's new? You know, can't you just have
it on the back of a flatbeg truck from another
house and throw it in there? But this down here
of the amenities. Plumbing and drainage systems must connect to
a network Utility operator system and you we're available. Where
no NUO system exists or the NUO confirms insufficient capacity

(17:15):
to connect, on site water systems can be used. These
can be existing on site systems or new on site systems,
both of which can be modified or built without a
building consent.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
That's good to clarify sanitary.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Plumbing and drain laying for granny consent. Exempt granny flats
must be must be designed and built in accordance with
the following acceptable solution for compliance with clauses E one,
G twelve and G thirteen of the Building Code Complex
E one AS one, E one AS two or E
one VM one for its surface water systems. Shall I

(17:50):
go on?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
I thought this was meant to make it easier. Yeah, yeah,
but no, there's good to clarify on the on the
plumbing situation. And we are going to have a chat
to resident build a Pete Wolf camp in about five
minutes as well. So if you've got a question for
Pete in regards to this new legislation on the granny flat,
ninet two nine two is that number?

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah? Or if you want to a way through it yourself,
go to building dot GUF dot m z's John. You've
lived in a tiny house?

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Yeah, hey, guys, how we don't very well? Can you
hear about the tiny home?

Speaker 7 (18:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (18:21):
Yeah, Look, so we moved from four hundred and seventy
five square meter house to about forty nine.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
He went to a forty nine square meter house.

Speaker 11 (18:34):
Did you say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 12 (18:38):
It was I mean it's very roughly thirteen by four
or something like that. And so we the slight difference
here as we moved on. It was a rural property,
but we absolutely loved it when we've been there four

(18:59):
years now, coming up four years. I mean, in what
you realize we're in our sixties. What you realize is
little you actually need in life, and a lot of
stuff you thought.

Speaker 15 (19:11):
You needed if you don't.

Speaker 12 (19:14):
And you know, it's the simplicity of the living is
what we enjoy. And I was just listening to some
of your other callers, and so for sort of a
rural situation, you know, you have a wea bit more
flexibility and that it's generally a septic tank and yeah,

(19:37):
you know, so you don't connect to systems we have.
People can go from solar or they can have the
power put in. We have Starlink, which has just been fantastic,
you know, for our internet and so on. And I've
been a very strong advocate of these sort of tiny home,

(20:00):
grainy flat things because to me, it allows I call
it sort of the fun our rule, because it will
allow people to provide for, you know, their children who
may not be able to afford to buy their own place,
you know, and so particularly and I'm thinking of Northland

(20:23):
and some of the sort of poorer areas where they
might have the land but they just simply don't have
the money. And you know, but yeah, sure there might
be some costs and consenting and the you know, additional facilities,
but it's still a fraction of the cost of building
a new house with with with.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Your forty nine square John, how do you how do
you how do you run the storage?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
And that?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Are you guys minimalists? Do you have? Have you just
cut down an out of clothes you have and such?

Speaker 12 (20:58):
It's a very good question there. So I have we
built some showing in the bedroom and my wife takes
three quarters of it, and I have you know, a
tiny section common. Yeah, that's common, that's common. I mean,
so you know, you live to make do and and

(21:23):
for a bloke, you know, it's easy because I generally
only have a few sets of clothes I wear most
of the time anyway.

Speaker 11 (21:31):
And.

Speaker 12 (21:33):
So you know, you do manage so but this this
particular unit, so it came with washing machine, dishwasher, oven, uh,
you know, bridge. So it was fully equipped with all
the white wear. It had a bedroom and then sort

(21:56):
of a large open plan living area and so everything
came with it, the carpet, the vinyl, you know, it
was fully set up. So basically I think it costs
US about seven grand and transport costs and it was

(22:18):
literally done in about two hours to get it on site.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (22:23):
Yeah, and so you know, I suppose my message is
having sort of had the lived experience is I actually
think it will be a game changer if people want
to go down that route and you know, you can
get around a lot of bureaucracy and just say a

(22:43):
young couple by section, but they can't afford to build. Well, logically,
the first thing you would do is do the tiny house,
which or the granny flat, which you're entitled to, and
then you know, gets you that gets you into a hat,
into something, and then you can focus on your main
house later on.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Yeah, it's a great idea, John, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, you know, obviously it's called a granny flat, but yeah,
as we say, you can have some kids in there
as well.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
And granddad as well if you want. Oh yeah, Grandad's
he he needs a place to say sometimes. All right,
Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. Keen Dare hear from you if you're in
a tiny house or you've set up a granny flat
or do you think this new legislation will mean you'll
try and get something out up in your yard?

Speaker 2 (23:26):
The sexy says granny could have a composting toilet and
water off the roof and solar panels and be a
self sufficient grannie.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
That is very true.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah, grand Grannie is twenty seven to two. Coming up next,
we're gonna have a chat with resident builder Pete wolf Camp.

Speaker 16 (23:42):
You talk said the headlines with Blue Bubble taxis. It's
no trouble with a blue bubble. A thirty eight year
old man has been arrested and charged with double murder
after a fatal fire in East Auckland. The fire broke
Harn't in a home in Buckland's Beach on the second
of October, killing a thirty six year old man and
his eleven year old son. The mayor of Startland admits

(24:04):
there'll be lessons learned as if it's ramp up to
restore power to thousands of homes and areas hit by
destructive winds. A local state of emergency has been declared.
Canterbury's declaration is being reviewed this afternoon. A call for
answers over the road closure that followed the fatal bus

put in place and why the closure was so long.

inside a column at ensid Herald Premium. Back to Matteath
and Tyler Adams.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Thank you so much. Ray Lane.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
So we're talking about granny flats and we're getting so
many questions coming in the legislation has been voted through,
it comes into effect next year. So he thought it'd
be a great idea to get the resident builder on
our old mate Pete wolf Camp, to break it all down.

Speaker 5 (25:12):
Pete, how are you doing? Greetings very well? Thank you, hey, Pete.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Who can actually build one of these?

Speaker 17 (25:18):
It's still going to be a licensed building practitioner. So
it may well be an LBP like myself, could work
with a homeowner who would do some of the work,
but you're still going to get it signed off by
an LBP.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Right right now, does all the amenities work? If you
want to put plumbing in a kitchen or a shower
or something.

Speaker 17 (25:40):
Which typically for small dwellings has often been the thing
that triggers the requirement for building consent. Right, so now
it's quite clear you can put in a shower, toilet,
a vanity, a handbasin. That work still needs to be
done by a licensed plumber. It needs to comply with
the building code. But you may not need a or

(26:00):
you won't need a building consent for it, but it
still has to be done to the code and that's
going to be the really important thing. So again, you
can't do that yourself.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Right and the council doesn't care if you just plug
it into you know, connected up with the pipes, that
are already going out of your property.

Speaker 17 (26:18):
So this is you know, I mean, I think, to
be fair some of the reporting around this thing but misleading.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
So it doesn't mean we've.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Been a bit misleading on the show. To be honest, Timber,
can you go from the starts? Can you go from
the start of that again? So I talked over have
you been misleading people? Man?

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Is?

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (26:36):
The problem terribly typical, typical of all right, so before
you begin, you actually need to go to council and
go hey, by the way, guys, this is what I'm
going to do now. That's going to also require a
fairly basic set of plans where you know, what's it
going to be built out of, where is it going

(26:57):
to be built indicating perhaps how you're going to connect
to services, And then you know it's possible at counsel
that that might stage might say actually we've got no
more capacity, in which case they could reject the application.

Speaker 17 (27:10):
Let's say they don't. Then the work has to be
done by a licensed train layer who will sign it
off essentially under their license and say the work is
done in accordance with the co.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Right, it gets kind of complicated, doesn't it. Of course?
But another thing that kind of confused me a little bit.
Why does it happen to be new? Why can't you
just upgrade a garage or an old shed.

Speaker 17 (27:33):
Because we don't know how they were built in the
first place. So one of the issues, let's say, with
retrofitting a garage into a habitable space is you know,
most of the time you're doing a garage, you just
whack the concrete down on top of the hardfell. There's
no vapor barrier, you don't have any moisture control. You
turn that into a habitable space that ends up being
cold and damp. So that's the way of ensuring that
that doesn't happen. It also means that you don't get

(27:56):
farmer Joe's old shed and you truck it down and
plank it in your back out and go, hey, that's
seventy square meters, you know, Toots, Hey we're away. So
and the other thing that's really really important to point
out you still have to build it in accordance with
the building code, right, So it's got to have insulation,
it's got to have bracing, you've got to have some evidence,

(28:17):
for example, that the span of the lintel over your
new ranch slider is in fact the right size that
your rafters are, the correct dimension that they will span.
So someone's going to have to prove You're going to
have to prove that.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I think. Now, say you've got a garage, right or
a shed, and you do it. It's your place is
the spot where English is just a friend here, right hypothetically,
So hypothetically, hypothetically, you've got a garage and you make it.
You make it quite nice to put some pink bats
in the wall, you know, you do a bit of plastering,

(28:52):
You've got a bit of a carpet down, and someone
can hang out in there. So how does the council
or anyone not you know? And then maybe someone will
sleep in there every now and then, But how do
they know that it's not just a flash garage or
a flash shed as opposed to a place where someone's
you know, like a habitable spot.

Speaker 17 (29:12):
But most of those, a lot of those garages that
you're describing are often already attached to the house, right,
So on the original consent, it will show as a garage.
If let's say you go to seal it, or someone
comes around has a look and hey, prestough, the garage
doors gone, there's a nice ranch slider in the air,
and you've put your favorite posters on the wall, and
there's a bed in there. Well, you just go back
to the original consent and find that, in fact, it's

(29:35):
not a bedroom or a living room.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
It's a garage, right right.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
It sounds like your mate's got a busy couple of
months ahead of them just to cret that.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
It's just a garage with a massive flat screen TV
and a couch and you know, a bar and a bed.

Speaker 17 (29:52):
Look, there's a lot to be said for what this
is going to do, right, and the estimate is that
it might provide housing for about thirteen thousand people. Over
thirteen thousand of these dwellings are possibly going to be
built over a period of time. Now, that's not insignificant,
and if it provides affordable housing of a reasonable quality

(30:13):
to extended family and those sorts of things, then that's great.
But you know, I really want to stress the fact
that there are still rules. You might not need a
building consent doesn't mean there's no rules.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, really good to chat with your Pete. Just very quickly,
last question, because you've been very generous with your time,
but the old kids set homes that you can buy online,
or these companies that do it, so that whole package deal.
I mean, arguably, if they've got all the people within
their business that can do all of those things legally,
I mean, there's a potential there that without the consenting

(30:45):
you might be able to save a bit of money
in the long run.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
That's kind of where the point of this legislation, right.

Speaker 17 (30:51):
Yeah, And to be fair, I'm quite a big fan
of that sort of offsite manufacture and so on, and
I actually did wonder whether an easier path for this
legislation would have been you could get one of these
factory built dwellings put onto your property without a conceit.
Because what I've been to a few of these factories,
they've got really good processes and quality control and so

(31:15):
on in place. The concern, let's say, from the sector,
is that what we might start to see is people
having a go at these buildings and we may end
up with some buildings that are not particularly well built.
They may not know perform particularly well in terms of
heating or bracing and all of those sorts of things.
So I think if they had have just stuck with look,

(31:38):
you can you can get it from the factory and
that's a quick pathway to compliance. Could have been another option,
but look it's here now and we'll see how many
of these things get built over the next couple of years.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Pete, thank you very much for and a chat with us.
Always great to get you on. Go well, and we'll
catch up again soon.

Speaker 17 (31:53):
Look forward to take you guys.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
That is the resonent build or of course Pete wolf
Camp will be back here on News Talks MB Sunday
morning at six a m.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
It is sixteen to two.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Mattith Tyler Adams taking your calls on oh eight hundred
and eighty. It's Matt Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News Talks.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
They'd be thirteen to two.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
The textus says, whoever that Dick was who managed a
message in about a granny with a cost to me bag,
I can only say to him that he'd better pray
that he never has to undergo such a traumatizing and
life changing procedure. Do you too really find that amusing?
Glenn of Hastings, Well, Glen of Hastings, congratulations. If you
just send your address through, we'll send you some pearls
and you can sit at home. You can clutch those

(32:35):
pearls yep around people making jokes about cluster me bags.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Okay, yeah, well and Glenn, thank you very much. Oh
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Angus, welcome to the show. Good ay, Angus and Gus.
Oh hello, how are you.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Got cha?

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yep? Your thoughts on granny flax?

Speaker 10 (32:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (32:58):
I just just clicked on you and now I rain
you when I said Tom Boyer, which is just not
on Napier and I'm just into Hastings now.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah, it's a popular show, my friend, but you're on now.
So have you got a grannie flat?

Speaker 19 (33:17):
First?

Speaker 11 (33:17):
Don't call any of them with you, guys. I am
a song to a farmer yesday with pain, and we're
talking about this granny fat under farm. If they got
any college sippers and yeah, they've got to pay rates
on those. Yeah, And he said, I wonder if you

(33:39):
have a granny fet and you walking into the utility system,
whether you have to pay a rate on that as
well with your own rates on the main house. Has
anybody thought about that or anything about that?

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Surely there's no there's gonna be no extra rates on
them no, but you have to tell the council in
advance of doing it, and they may not say they
have the capacity for any kind of sewage set up
or you know, or wastewater set up. That there's a
potential that they might say no to that. According to
Pete wolf Camp, who we just talked to before. But
if you just have a.

Speaker 11 (34:15):
Jump to property as the rental property.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Well, I mean if you're renting, I mean, if you're
renting it out, I guess yeah, that might that might
bring other things into play. I mean, I think the
idea of it is that it's for family members.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Yeah, all right, and I guess nice to hear from
your mates.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Oh, eight hundred and eighty sent Just on the rate thing,
I mean, I think that the you know, the the
most it would come under improvement value to your property.
But you know, does that really change the rates too much?
Maybe a little bit, but yeah, that doesn't come into it, thankfully.
Like we'll take a quick break and come back with Brad.
He lives in a tiny house as well, so we'll
get his story next.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
It is ten to two Matt Heath Tyler Adams taking
your calls on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty. It's
mad Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons news DOALGSB.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
News DOGSB it's eight to two. We're talking about Granny Flats.
Is going to be easier to build at Granny fled
on your property from next year.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Bread.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
You you live in a tiny home yourself?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Is that right?

Speaker 10 (35:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (35:16):
I'm not sure if it's class will be testified as
fining home. She's eighty squares, but I do pack five
kids into it.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Wow, are you we're about to you living? Is it
metropolitan or rural? A Bread?

Speaker 7 (35:28):
The beautiful thing is we're rural and lifestyle blocks Maxwell, Yeah,
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, so you've got so there's there's lots of outside
running around and stuff. There's plenty of space.

Speaker 7 (35:40):
Yeah, yes, the purposes inside for eating, but the thing
isn't all up but most of the time you should
be outside.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
So how good? So what do you live in the
winterless north or something?

Speaker 7 (35:53):
Are in the central South?

Speaker 13 (35:54):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah? Okay? And how do you deal with storage? You know,
all all the kids clothes and such.

Speaker 7 (36:02):
Yeah, so we're just basically your jaw is your jaw.
We have shipping container for anything that's not necessarily needs storing.
But other than that, the purpose of it was to
not have stores, to not have stuff you didn't need.
And we just keep moving stuff on. If it's hanging
around the house too long, it's gone stycled or passed on.

(36:25):
And that's just the kind of last all we want
to live.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I respect that.

Speaker 7 (36:29):
Really, we've been in big houses. We've had houses with
every single room's got a giant cupboard and all sorts
of what do you do? You just pack it?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, how much space you have you will fill with stuff,
right if you because because you just make you know,
a thousand lazy decisions on things. Any are your kids
and embracing the situation?

Speaker 20 (36:56):
Do they?

Speaker 2 (36:57):
You know they believe they've got enough stuff in their
won drawer?

Speaker 9 (37:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (37:02):
Not really, No complain a lot.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Kids, after all.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
That's hard work the other at work. I keep telling
them this is the purpose of this division for our life,
that I'm trying to instill this kind of living into them,
and they do get it. But then when it is
like heap, they can aloud. I'm telling them to be quite,
they say, they say to me, this is what you wanted.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Yeah, And what are their ages? Bred?

Speaker 7 (37:27):
So they're fourteen thirteen ten and then two baby boys.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Yeah right, and they've got separate rooms.

Speaker 7 (37:34):
No, so we've got four on one and then the
oldest they've got their own.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Wow. And I guess it's great in the in the
nice weather, but get a bit challenging when you you know,
get a period of you know, three or four rainy days.

Speaker 7 (37:49):
Yeah, but it's cozy, Yeah, it's lot burner wept back.
It's open, we went, we built and designed it in
a way that everything's open and as cozy. So it
might be small, but others than usable, I suppose, Yeah,
there's obviously there's a few week next near to make
it a bit more cooler and and I don't know
more liver Boar supposing the one you know when if

(38:10):
you live in the mid South, win does not really
just carry on?

Speaker 4 (38:12):
Yeah sounds cool, honesty cool Bread. If it ever gets
a bit much for you gets a bit heat deck,
do you ever just jump in your car just for
a bit of a breather.

Speaker 7 (38:21):
So the key is got the little big ships Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, Bread's pottering around and she had
quite a bit.

Speaker 7 (38:29):
Here, like the houses like banging and there's like toys
and clanging I'll just go and do something all the
best of.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
You and your family.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Bread sounds like a cool lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
I mean, I'm disgusted by the amount of stuff that
myself and my kids own, just the absolute punishing piles
of pointless crap.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
Yeah, but so interesting, so true.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
What you said, when you've got space, you just fill
it with stuff is we've moved into this new place
and had a garage, and we didn't really have that
much stuff because I got rid of it. Now I'm
starting to stockpile again, and I'm thinking what.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Am I doing?

Speaker 5 (39:02):
What am I doing?

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Just yesterday I gave you a tent, didn't I? You did,
and you said I've got plenty of space.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
It certainly did. And I'm looking forward to using that team.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
By the way, a lot of broken poles.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Oh now you tell me, oh had one hundred eighty
ten eighty ins the number to call. Great discussion on
the granny flats, but we're gonna change it up. After
two o'clock. We want to talk about wedding photography. How
important was that to you and your wedding?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah? Have you ever looked at the photos again or
watch the video?

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Probably not.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
Come on through nine two nine two statics. News is next.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
Hello, little.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Talking with you all afternoon. It's Matt Heathen Tyler Adams
Afternoons News Talks.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
It'd be afternoon to you. Welcome back into the show.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Hopefully you're having a great Friday if you're listening in
this beautiful country of ours. Let's get into this one.
We want to talk about wedding photography videography. This after
a Australian woman. She's married to an AFOL superstar. Her
name is Chloe Pink. His name is Chloe Pink. They
got married in March this year.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Both called Chloe Pink.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
Did I call he Chloe Pink?

Speaker 2 (40:09):
You said she's called Chloe. You said she's Chloe Pink.
He's Chloe Pink.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Oh, He's definitely not Chloe Pink. He's Toby Pink. I'm sorry,
Toby Pink. Well, medicine Bumgarner, the mad bum. Yeah, legendary
picture for the giants. He married a medicine Bumganer.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Yeah, secretly not related.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah, he was a medicine and she was a medicine.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
How does that happen?

Speaker 11 (40:33):
Man?

Speaker 5 (40:33):
Must be mad bum married the mad bum. That I mean,
the odds are that happening. Must be you've got a
bit of chance went in the powerball? Is that true?

Speaker 10 (40:44):
Maybe?

Speaker 5 (40:45):
Were they cousins?

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Oh no, it looks like he's married to Elie Sanders.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
It's a good story though, it's a good story.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Yeah, I thought that was true. I thought that they
would have just met that He went up and said, hey,
I'm medicine, and she went, so am I? And then
he went on medicine Bumgarner, and she went so am I.
And then you know, they hooked up just randomly.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
There was a point in my life that I a
friend of a whole lot of Tyler Edams' is on Facebook,
and there is actually a female Tyler Adams. She comes
from Manchester. She's a fly ear hostess. She's got a
great life.

Speaker 5 (41:16):
But you know, part of me wonders, you know, Beck,
in those days, what if.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
What if you could have married Tyler Adams? Yeah, and
then kept her and taking her last name.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
It would have been so easy, so easy.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Anyway, this is off topic.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
We've derailed this one.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
The mad Heaths of the world got hold of me,
oh did they? Because they were getting all the mad
heats of the world together, and a guy from California
got hold of me and they were having a get
together of hundreds of mad Heaths.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Did you go No, that would have been amazing. I
want to hang out with the mad Heath Yeah, what's
your there? Right, let's get back to this one winning photography.
So the name Chloe Pink and her husband, Toby Pink
got married in March this year. She said she felt
beautiful at the time there the photographer was amazing. The
photos they thought looked pretty good. But because he's a superstar,

(42:01):
they got put up online and the newspapers printed them
and they got trolled a lot of nasty comments and
social media.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Yes, so that really upset there.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Well that's a problem. What did you put them up online?

Speaker 5 (42:12):
Good point? Yeah, ever do that?

Speaker 4 (42:14):
But anyway, it really upset them all these comments. So
now they've decided to retake their wedding photographs, the same dress,
the same get up the same place, and redo them
so they feel better about these photos.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
What I know, crazy, do they all of a sudden
look better? Because don't you take hundreds and hundreds of photos?
So you know, did they not have the right smiles
on them? I would I would be if I was
Toby I'd be, you know, maybe looking at an annulment there.

Speaker 5 (42:42):
Putting your foot down and say, come on, if.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
Someone's that precious about their wedding photos. But I mean,
do you need winning photos at all? And does anyone?
I mean I've just been talking to people about how
much they pay for the wedding photos, right, six eight
ten thousand dollars for your winning photos? Even more, if
you're getting.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Wedding video, that's crazy money.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
To something that. Are you ever going to watch that? Again?
Does it matter what you look like in it? What
do you do with wedding photos? I mean, if you're
not putting them up online, try and get some you know,
generates some likes.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Yeah, then what do you do with them?

Speaker 4 (43:13):
Could you do a deal that you get a good photographer,
but you only want three photos, so they are the
ones that go on the frame and then you don't
have to worry about the hundred other ones you get.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Medicine Bumgarner wasn't married to Medicine Bumgarner, but they went
out together in high school.

Speaker 5 (43:25):
Okay, good to clear it.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Okay, so I was close?

Speaker 4 (43:27):
Yeah, but ken you hear from you? I eight hundred
eighty ten eighty How much did you spend on your photographer?
Why was it so important? And what do you do
with your wedding photographs after the big day? Are they
in a big book that you you pull out when
family come around?

Speaker 7 (43:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (43:40):
And you need it at all now because everyone's got
a phone in their pocket, So why can't you just
ask your mate to take pictures uncle day from it?
And in fact, I would say that there's a good
chance that no matter what you do at a wedding
in this you ban the camp the people having their
phones there, there's going to be more footage than you
can ever possibly watch because every punisher is going to
be whipping their phone out and filming you.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
So true, I wait one hundred eighty ten eighty love
to hear from you how important was your wedding photographer
or did you go a little bit cheaper and just
let your friends and family take the photos? There is
eleven past two nine two nine two? Is that text
number back in the.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
MinC I look quite pretty.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Your home of afternoon talk mad even Tyler Adams afternoons
call Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty youth.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Talk, zaid be.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
It is fourteen past two. We're talking about wedding photography.
How important was it to you? And how much did
you pay for it?

Speaker 21 (44:32):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (44:32):
Eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number?

Speaker 2 (44:35):
The sexus says, I had. I enjoyed my wedding photos.
I enjoyed burning them when the marriage finished. It was
a shitty marriage. Okay, that's not I'm sorry to hear.
That's sick.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
That is heartbreaking, Sarah.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
You believe that wedding photos are important.

Speaker 7 (44:50):
Yees.

Speaker 22 (44:51):
So I've actually just realized that I've rung up and
I don't actually know much about what I'm talking about.
So our daughter got married a month or so ago,
and the bridesmaids had bought I guess it's like a
computer monitory thing anyway. So what's happened is the photographer's
photos come up on this TV screen that my daughter's

(45:14):
got on the wall, so it kind of plays a
slideshow and then everybody can. I think they put in
a code and they can send their photos straight to
the TV, which I think is amazing. So because our
photos we got married way back then, and then of
course ours are in an album and I think it's
got dust and I couldn't even tell you where the
photos are So I think that was just wonderful.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
So so Sarah at the wedding. So at the wedding
there's a big screen and everyone's taking photos on their
phone and sending them in and it rotates at the
actual wedding. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 22 (45:47):
Yes, taking, So my daughter's taking the photos, taking the
the TV, I guess home, and they had stuck it
on the wall. So these photos just keep keep going.
So we go there and just look at everybody's photos.
Of course there's something that had been deleted just because
boys will be boys with photos, I suppose, so.

Speaker 14 (46:06):
Wonderful.

Speaker 22 (46:07):
But it's wonderful, highly recommend that.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Yeah, and did they also get professional photos done and
pay thousands of dollars?

Speaker 22 (46:15):
Yes, so they are on the screen as well, so
I think they uploaded it. Is that what you call it?
So they did that, So the professional photos are on
there in the mix of everybody else's photos as well.
So that's a wonderful idea.

Speaker 2 (46:27):
So what a better? What photos are better? The candid
ones taken apart from of course the boys will be
boys photos? You know, we all know that we've gone on.
There are the professional ones or just the candid ones better.

Speaker 22 (46:38):
I want to say the candid ones and I'm just
trying to think just one. I'm talking how much they
spent on a photograph, but I couldn't tell you. I
want to say it was a lot of money. But
I think the candid ones just capture captured the day
really and you could see the day from everybody else's
point of view, which I just think is lovely.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
How many times did you cry on the day.

Speaker 8 (46:59):
Sarah, I don't think I stopped.

Speaker 22 (47:02):
Actually, who is born and all, and that we've got
four daughters, so I think by the time the full
timee gets married, I think I'll just be over it
by then.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
Thankfully they don't listen to the radio, so they're working.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
So I think, no matter what, you well up at
weddings that this. You know, I'm off at the back
of the wedding and I had a couple and I
just feel that lump come in my throat and the
beauty of these people coming together to tell everyone that
they love each other, and it's always it's always an
incredible experience.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
And if they start breaking down during the vowels, I'm
definitely it's water works time.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Especially if it's your sort of you know, you're sort
of generally march oh mate, and then and then he
cracks yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:43):
Oh they gets you in the fields, isn't it. Yeah,
thank you so much asolutely, But.

Speaker 22 (47:48):
No, I just wanted to contribute that.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Love your show you that much, Sarah, Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (47:53):
Lindsey, you reckon. They're important as well.

Speaker 15 (47:56):
Hey, guys, just want to say I love your show.
Its great. Oh thanks, lindsay, I'll get that in before. No,
it's all good, no doing. Hey, yeah, I just got
married ten months ago, and gratulate. I'm an alteration. Thanks cheers. Yeah,
I'm an old traditionist. So I love photos, yep, but
I'm not going to pay five thousand and seven thousand

(48:18):
dollars for a photographer. So I didn't.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
And did you? And so how were the photos generated?

Speaker 15 (48:28):
Old school? So it was my wife's cousin and he's
a professional photographer.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
That's good.

Speaker 15 (48:33):
So we've got Oh but he was good. I saw
his portfolio and loved his style, lover his candidness, and
I also got a made of mind is to do
the candid photos and corresponding. The two didn't need a
video and you just look at the two and he
captured my mate and my wife's cousin captured it perfectly.

(48:54):
It was just wonderful and I love it, and so yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
That's nice. I take it.

Speaker 4 (48:58):
It was a trusted mate, a mate that you could,
you could, you were reassured he wasn't going to get
the open bar until the photos have been done.

Speaker 15 (49:06):
Well. Put at this, I don't drink and my wife
doesn't drink, so it was a dry, dry wedding, so
it was even better. And even the struggles have got
us playing tennis. So we got married on the tennis court.
We've played tennis, and my wife's in the wedding dress,
me and my wedding suit. It's just fun.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
It's fun.

Speaker 15 (49:23):
Day O.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Good on you. But my question is how often do
you think you're going to look at these photos when
you can just look at your wife every day, look
at the missus every day and and enjoy that.

Speaker 15 (49:35):
One of a better word, I look that is that
is true. But as I said, I love photos, and
I've got and the modern day now you can get
them printed and put on canvases. And I've got one
of us again standing over the tennis net with the
tennis rackets and hand and everything, and it's just a
novel photo and people look at it and go, you
guys love your tennis. No, no, I love my wife,
but I also like tennis.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Bless you, Lindsay, thanks so much for ringing the show.
Read the Pink's wedding photos. Please get the context of
the story right. It's nothing to do with the quality
or the cost of the wedding photos. It's the fact
that the poor bride was trolled because she happens to
be a plus size So even though the photos may
have been beauty, every time she looks at them, she
can only think of the nasty comments that were made
about her. Hints wanting to get some new ones done

(50:17):
just for them so they can have good memories of
their wedding. Well, I push back on that and say,
we can take any angle on the story that we want.
We didn't really want to talk about the fact that
she was upset that she was a bit rotund in
the pictures.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Yeah, we were trying to be sensitive here. Yeah, so
you just you know, yeah, no, but just that, I mean,
I think we illustrated that point though that I said,
they got published. There were some nasty comments and they
were very upset by that, so then they wanted to
redo their photos.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Please get the context of the story right. It had
nothing to do with the quality of the cost. It
definitely had something to do the quality of the photos
because she didn't because the photo is an image and
she wasn't happy with the image of herself in the photos.
And she got them done again. Yes, And as I said,
what was different about her when she got them done again?
And is she just going to get trolled again.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Which she might do? Yeah, yeah, very true. It's backing
the babies. But anyway, thank you for that text.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
Regardless, we want to talk about is the value of
wedding photos and is it worth paying six thousand dollars,
eight thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars for wedding photos and
more for the video if everyone can just take a
snap on their phone.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is that number to call?
Twenty one past two back in a mic.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Matt Heath and Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred
eighty ten eighty on news Talk ZAB.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Twenty three past two. How important is professional wedding photography?

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Photography?

Speaker 4 (51:43):
Spit it out, Tyler, and how much did you pay
for your wedding? O eight on hundred eighty ten eighty
is to number to call.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
Now this is interesting because these two Texters might know
each other and have independently texted in because this this
text says, Matt, I married a Scottish girl in Glasgow
kilts and castles. Oh, how goods are nice? I want
to marry a Scottish girl in Glasgow.

Speaker 5 (52:04):
That would be some amazing time. Photos.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
We got disposable cameras for everyone. You've never seen so many? Yeah,
of course, I'm surprised my wife wasn't arrested at Boots
when she went to pick up the photos. But this
Texas says, mate got married. Every one of them at
the wedding got the disposable cameras. What great random photos
they turned out to be. Sheers Tommy. So I wonder
if Tommy knows camera.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Yeah, maybe he was responsible for some of those boys.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Picks, or maybe it's something that happens a lot. Greg
get a mate. How are you today?

Speaker 19 (52:37):
Hello?

Speaker 10 (52:37):
Boys?

Speaker 7 (52:37):
I'm very well.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
Thanks, you're well very well.

Speaker 23 (52:41):
I'm an amateur photographer and I seem to be pretty
good at taking photos of the kids. So I've been
asked to do three weddings just just for friends. Yeah,
and it's the most it's the most stressful job. I
couldn't do it for a job. So they they're worth
your six thousand dollars to get it wrong.

Speaker 2 (53:02):
So what is the stressful bit? Because I guess the
candid ones you just have to keep snapping. Is that
the ones we you know? So they you know, after
the ceremony, bride and groom head off for a while,
and you know you're trying to get that perfect shot
with the perfect background and the perfect face, but a
bit of both.

Speaker 23 (53:18):
You know, you're trying to do the best for them,
and you you don't want to make you can't mist
the kids obviously.

Speaker 8 (53:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (53:29):
Well one of the weddings was actually my mate married.
I hope they do recognize me. She's a bit of
a bride zilla. And I was susting myself the whole time,
and I ended up giving them fifteen hundred and I
actually I put a few on Photoshop and sud it
down a little bit because I knew she wouldn't be
happy smart and so so she ended up leaving about

(53:53):
five kilos and some of the some of the really
good shots.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
You know, yeah, I mean much better these days. You know,
the pressure is not quite as hones as you say,
fifteen hundred pictures. But back in the day when it
was film and you wouldn't actually know until it was
processed that you just you know someone's going know what,
someone's got half an eye closed.

Speaker 23 (54:11):
I've got I've got a photographer mate from old school
film days and he just said that, well, he's he's
basically giving it up because there's so many amateur photographers around,
because really anyone can do it. Now it's all about composition,
but the side's just gone, you know.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
So and there must be occasions when if you're talking
about bridezillas or groomzillas coming back, and when when the
photos come back and they don't like them and they
go on paying six thousand dollars for it, and you're like, well,
that's what you look like, so you're gonna have to
suck it up body pressing the butt.

Speaker 23 (54:47):
And so you're not getting the rest until I get
my sex carriage.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
There would have been terrible situations like that where it
gets in something to stand off blaming the campus. So
you've done, You've done three, Greg, you're going to do anymore?

Speaker 10 (55:02):
Is that?

Speaker 23 (55:04):
No, I'm done too stressful, sort of short films so
bit more fun because you are, yes, sort of just
a lot easier.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
I'll tell you what, Greg, I'm going to write your
number down and when Tyler actually gets around to actually
asking the question, and maybe we'll try and bring you
out of retirement for Tyler's wedding.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Yeah, this sounds pretty good. You sound like a trustworthy guy, Greg.

Speaker 4 (55:29):
Yeah, I'll take those fifteen hundred photos, thank you very much.

Speaker 5 (55:32):
Yeah, Oh, one.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
Hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
Got headlights coming up. I'd love to hear from you.
How much did you pay for your wedding photographer? And
how important is it to get professional photography and that videography?
Not too many people who've run through about the old
wedding video.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
Yet, No, Yeah, wedding video.

Speaker 5 (55:50):
How often do you watch it? Really?

Speaker 13 (55:52):
You know?

Speaker 5 (55:52):
And how long are they? Are they five minutes? Is
it kind of just a composition of various.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
I mean you might watch those if there's a blooper,
you know, someone falls into the cake or something, or.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
That is funny candid camera. They're oh of me nice.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
You talk.

Speaker 16 (56:07):
Sa'd be headline with blue bubble taxis It's no trouble

most of Southland following wild winds and the areas under

The launch of Labour's first big election policy turned out

you can read more at end, said Herald Premium. Back
now to matt Ethan Tyler Adams.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Thank you very much, Rayleen. It is twenty nine to
three and we're talking about wedding photography. How important is
it you spend big bucks for a wedding photographer and
a wedding videographer.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
In nineteen eighty five, we had two friends that were
budding amateur photographers photographers, so we bought four camera reels
for them and they just snapped through them and gave
them to us. We got them developed at the chemist.
They were perfect for what we wanted.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
Nice, that's the way to do it.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
But have you ever looked at them again?

Speaker 5 (57:54):
Good point? Yeah, how often do you wake them out?
Pulled them out? Brian?

Speaker 2 (57:59):
How are you maun Welcome to the show, Brian, Oh,
thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
I have probably a unique perspective because obviously I've been
married as well, have been for ten years and yeah,
I mean we've just had a one year old. Obviously,
it's important that they haven't been able to see us married,
so they can enjoy us getting married as well.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
The kids need good point.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Yeah, for sure. But also the other side of.

Speaker 20 (58:38):
It is.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
We at our wedding. It was quite early in the
social media, but we decided that we didn't want anyone
taking photos at the reception because sorry, not the reception,
the service, because we wanted people to enjoy the moment
rather than sitting there on their phone. We just wanted
them to be present. I actually am also a professional

(59:04):
videographer myself. I don't do I don't do wedding snow,
but I have worked with people that do. And the
behind the scenes is it actually does take you know,
tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and also
weeks afterwards editing the photos or videos, so you're not

(59:27):
only paying for the eight hours that they're there. And
one of your previous callers were correct that it is
one of the very stressful parts of the job actually
trying to capture all of these things. But obviously people
are paying big dollars for.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
And it must be interesting when you hand the video
back to them because they may remember the wedding very
differently and it may become more fairy tale in their memories.
And then the video takes a while to edit, and
then you show it to them and they're like, oh,
it wasn't.

Speaker 5 (59:56):
That's not what I remember to start the start.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Reality of it isn't isn't quite as good or the
background you thought they had, or you know that whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
I mean. We never got any video, funnily enough, even
though professional video videographer myself. But yeah, I mean the
photos we set up. We had free canvases that we
were allowed to print with our wedding photographer, and we
set up a couple of photos with our entire congregants

(01:00:31):
or participants for attendees, whatever you call them, and set
up like an entire cricket set up, so everyone was
participating in the cricket, whether.

Speaker 2 (01:00:45):
A fielder or a bowler or I respect.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
That's a canvas on the wall. So yes, we are
all in wedding attire, but we're having, you know, a
good cricket match in the middle of the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Middle of a oval that we've had a tennis, we've
had tennis, and we've had cricket. It's actually a really
famous poster that I to have when I was a
kid of a maybe not maybe might share this. People
might know the poster of it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
All right, I have a thing about that because I'm
interested in this post wedding.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
It was a really famous photo that people had posters of.

Speaker 5 (01:01:20):
I need to hear more about this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
It's a bit lude with tennis and weddings.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
Okay, right to I'll google that. Oh, one hundred and
eighty ten eighty is number to call?

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
How much did you spend on your wedding photography and
how often do you look at it after the facts
and our weddings.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
Just a bunch of people holding up phones now and
filming the whole thing and not enjoying the moment. Yeah,
the death to band phones. You'd want to band phones,
wouldn't you. I mean, unless you're getting free photos by
if you go, look, everyone take a photo and I'm
going to pay a wedding photographer. I'm just going to
get whatever you pictures you take on your phones. But
apart from that, when you want everyone to just not

(01:01:55):
be on their phones, you don't want you don't want
your grandma just watching it through her iPad?

Speaker 5 (01:01:58):
Do you exactly?

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
Oh one hundred and eighty ten eighty is that number
to call? It is twenty four to three. Back very shortly.
You're listening to Mattin Tyler.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
You've stayed rather closed, haven't you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
You put it there your home of afternoon talk, mad
Heathen Tyler Adams afternoons call, Oh, eight hundred eighty ten
eighty news talk, they'd be afternoons.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
Yet it's twenty one to three and having a great
discussion about wedding photography. How important is it and how
much did you spend on it? And how often do
you look at them?

Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
Again? Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is a
number to call.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Our wedding video is thirty years old and is full
of cameo interviews with people no longer with us, including
a grandfather our children never met. I'm so glad to
have this record of the day and urge people to
get a videographer, videographer that talks to all the guests.
That is such a good point. Yeah, I hadn't thought
of that, because, yeah, years later you might see people

(01:02:51):
that have passed.

Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
On candidly one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, I was watching a bunch of video recently of
my partner's family back in the nineties when everyone was
turning up at the batch.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
The old home video.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
Yeah, and boy, that stuff is interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
It's something lost now, isn't it, Because I know we
take videos on our phone, but it's not the same
as having that home video of, as you say, the
holiday down at the batch or insurances case, the wedding.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Shot on the high eight, everyone wearing string singlets and such.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
Yeah, it's a good time, Levonnie. Have I said that correctually?

Speaker 13 (01:03:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:03:24):
Hi, I'm on the phone.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Hello, Yes, that is you, Levonnie. So wedding photography, how
important was it for you?

Speaker 10 (01:03:31):
Very? And I just wonder as what's happened to you
guys with sentiment.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Moments Noman's romance, Tyler Tyler's Tyler's very romance.

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
Yeah, but I'm also pretty stoly as well, Levonnie. I
don't like spending money, so you know, when I hear
six thousand dollars and I've got a perfectly good iPhone here,
I'll be busy on the day. But I could hand
that to you know, Matt, for instance, he's a pretty
good photographer.

Speaker 10 (01:03:55):
I just wanted to say that I've been married forty
eight years time. I was bright at the year for
Marie de Moreau. So it was quite a social event.
There are a lot of people there.

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
And what year was that year was at Lavonni sixty
six year?

Speaker 10 (01:04:12):
Can I about fifty eight years ago?

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
I wonder if I can find that cover. I might
look while we're having a chat here, see if I
can find that.

Speaker 10 (01:04:18):
It was quite social and why we booked the photographer.
When you spend a lot of money on a wedding,
photo's the memories you have, like people talk about it,
but in the later life you don't have any other
You just have a memory in your heart. And I
lost my husband last year. We had photos on the wall,
not a lot, but of our wedding. Soto and I

(01:04:40):
look at it and we had a VH movie taken
as well, and we put that now onto memory stix
and I play it every year. And for the first
five years I dressed up on my wedding dress and
on the day of the anniversary for him WoT we
were married, and we'd have the music. So photos that's

(01:05:05):
all I have now in memories. He's gone. I have memory,
but we just have a few photos. But they're very professional,
and I think with the money you spend on weddings.
It's important to probably have not now because you know
things have changed. Yes, you can take tatus were cell phones,
but we got married in July and it was raining,

(01:05:26):
so we actually had portrait ones as well.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Sixty six with the video was that was that shot
on film?

Speaker 10 (01:05:35):
It was a VH movie like a VHS. Yeah, it
was a v V It was like kind of reel
in the school.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
Super eight, Super yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:05:50):
Super eight. There's a secular call and converted now to
you know, to memory stick and.

Speaker 2 (01:05:56):
Did it have did it have audio as well, because
it's used to be quite hard to record audio onto
the v.

Speaker 10 (01:06:04):
Everything going down the aisle Frados in the studio and
and you know, I was only twenty and he was
twenty eight at the time, so I'm old now and
they are memories and I lost him and I remember
when it was on everybody said it's the best weading
and everybody says that, but for years later we still
got my god, your wedding was something. I'm a sort

(01:06:29):
of retired event manager, so from that day everything was
Hollywood that I did in jobs and everything.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Yeah, beautiful, what a lovely story. But V eight footage,
I mean super eight footage is just nostalgic and it's
very very nature like the quality of the Super eight footage.

Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
It's gorgeous, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:48):
Yeah, it used to be so difficult for people to
record and now everyone has got a camera on their
phone and they're just filming a bunch of rubbish. You
used to actually have to if you were going to
film on Super eight. Then people knew that what was
going through was costing them money.

Speaker 5 (01:07:05):
Right, Yeah, so a lot of pressure.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Tell you what the Finns, you know, split Ends Neil
Fin Timfin that their dad, I think his name was Richard.
He filmed a whole lot of Super eight footage and
it's just awesome stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
Yeah, it's gorgeous to look at, George. You want to
have a chat about it, you can, man.

Speaker 24 (01:07:25):
Yeah, it's interesting that Last Lady sort of took my
thumber thunder out of it, really does. You can either
remember the day or have memories of the day that
you can look at again, and that's that's really what
photographs are all about. You can also have your mates
just take a picture or have a professional photographer create

(01:07:49):
the moment and record it, and that's the whole difference.
We had some family photos done recently because I wanted
to have a record of my family and put a
stick in the sand right now in case I disappear
and I go okay. So I spent a lot of
time on the web looking at all the different photographers

(01:08:10):
and their style of pictures until I've picked a style
that I liked. Because they're all different. So if you're
going to pick a photographer, look at their portfolios and
decide if that's the style that you want. To start
looking at the price.

Speaker 2 (01:08:24):
So you want like super glamorous, fairy tale kind of pictures,
or you want.

Speaker 24 (01:08:29):
Candle well, someone that specialized being at the beach and
sand and outdoor, and so others in front of churches
and the people themselves were insignificant to the background, and
you go, this is all wrong. You want personal, close
up pictures of people to remember them. And I think,
get If you're at a wedding and a professional photographer

(01:08:51):
has taken the photos, he will clean up those pictures
and get rid of the blemishes, and he'll get rid
of that guy at the back with his two fingers
up in the air trying to be funny behind the case.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Yeah, that's that's the least offensive that people get in
the background. Also might remove five ten fifteen kg you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:08):
Yeah, very true, if you so many ticks that covered through.
On nineteen nine two.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Our wedding video was in Balley. My brother paid for
the full package, including the video. It's customery to release
two baby turtles into the sea, says Jess Nice. The
videographer was filming the whole thing and a small wave
came into came in, washing them back, and he could
not find one of the turtles as we went to
retake it at all. He was standing on it. No,

(01:09:37):
you're not supposed to do that as a documentary. Documentary,
and you're not supposed to affect the environment that you're filming.
Is a squashing of turtles not on?

Speaker 5 (01:09:44):
Yeah, shame shame on that photographer.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
Apart from that very romantic, Yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:48):
Sounded beautiful until the turtle got squashed. Oh eight one

It was like the last or hour before we had
our baby. Yeah, we went to the wedding and yes,
she's quite well off. So this photographer he was, he
was brilliant. He was shooting incognito the whole night, and
my cousin's cousin was advancing on him, and he obviously
wasn't keen, so I was a few bersd So yeah,

by surprise. He obviously remembered. Yeah, he came over and
shot the wedding and had to do his pay for
his flights over and we them for I think maybe
four days in total.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Hey, just to go back in the story a little
bit there, Nathan, what do you mean about who was
advancing on the camera? What do you mean by that?

maybe you would have been of that love.

Yeah, you know, you're easy to get to get lost
in the moment, so to speak.

you got a of a story.

Speaker 19 (01:14:10):
Yeah, Cure mantain. I've been married thirty three years now,
quite happily. Going right back to the wedding day, my
brother is a photographer, and he didn't do the photography,
but he hadn't made it do the video of the wedding,
of the whole wedding and a bit of the reception, which.

Speaker 11 (01:14:30):
Was all good at the time.

Speaker 19 (01:14:31):
About two months later we sort of got in contact
with him because we hadn't had any feedback on the
video how it was going, and that was but then
In the end, he sort of fessed up the videoing
over the video watching jealous you.

Speaker 5 (01:14:47):
Were cadding, oh wow, yeah that what do you say
to that? Rice? I mean you got to kick him
out of the family.

Speaker 11 (01:14:58):
Was never that he's a good guy.

Speaker 19 (01:15:02):
Nothing's going to replace. So that was that basically had

and Dallas of all shows.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):

you've done that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:18):
You'd have to you'd leave the country on your own accord.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
My god, I humiliated myself at a wedding. I can't
go into the details.

Speaker 5 (01:15:24):
Please do just think about this or just just because
we all want to hear it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
You can't have a tease like that and then just
shut up shops. So maybe after the three o'clock news.

Speaker 2 (01:15:34):
Yeah, I'll see if I'm going to show that story. Marlene,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
Ah, Hi, how are you very?

Speaker 27 (01:15:42):
I just this happened fifty five years ago. I got
married and when we're on honeymoon, my mother had to
go and get our wedding photos from the photographer's place.
And when she got there, there was a notice on
the door to say that he had done a runner
and if there was any negatives to be or proofs

(01:16:03):
to be picked up, to go around to the police station.
So my mother went to the police station and just
picked up the negatives or the prince all on the
sheets black and white photography we had those days, and
it was on six sheets, like there was a six
sheets of all these wedding photos. And she brought them

(01:16:24):
back home and I thought, well, how are we going
to get these wedding photos taken? Because those days, no
other photographer would touch them. They weren't allowed to do
other people's work or anything like that. So for fifty
four years I just had them in my cupboard. I
did manage to get a couple developed through a friend

(01:16:46):
of a friend who did amateur photography, and he and
large he took a couple off a group one of
the of who we had because I had three brides
of flower girls and a bridesmaid and anyway, that was
all I had for fifty four years. And then last year, wow,
I thought, someone said to me, why don't you see

(01:17:07):
if you can get them done now? Because she said
everything's done differently now even Hardy Norman's is probably you know.
So I went to the top year. I just went
to a photographic shop where I live and the chapter
I can develop all in And of course I wasn't
prepared for him to say he could develop them are
so I just gave him the six sheep. And of

(01:17:28):
course there was a lot of double ups for me.
I mean I didn't check through them to say, well
I want that one, that one, that.

Speaker 19 (01:17:34):
One, as you would do normally.

Speaker 27 (01:17:36):
I've got the whole lot done, which was about seven
and seven hundred, seven hundred and fifty.

Speaker 5 (01:17:44):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
Yeah, and you're happy when you're happy with them all
those years later.

Speaker 27 (01:17:49):
Oh lovely, we got them and I've got them in
an album.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
I mean, I haven't I have a good marline. We're
going to go to the news. But how good? So
so glad you got those.

Speaker 5 (01:17:58):
Yeah, beautiful stories. Thank you very much. Coming up next
New Zealander of the Week, your.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
New home for inscle and Entertaining to It's Matty and
Taylor Adams afternoons on news Talk Sevvy Get a to.

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
You, Welcome back into the show. The final hour Forrass
before the long weekend. Great debut company is always Just
before we get into this hour, Matt, you were having
to think over the news. You mentioned that you had
a story that you may want to share, potentially some
lude elements to it. I don't know, but you had
to think about it. What do you reckon?

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
There's no lude elements to it, Tyler, Okay, I'll share it.
It's humiliating. But I was at a wedding. We were
on a tropical island.

Speaker 5 (01:18:40):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
It was beautiful, beautiful ceremony, love by DJ'd actually oh.
I was playing the tunes as walked down the island,
and then later on I had a few wines and
I was having a great time forcing the piano player
to play Billy Joel songs. Apparently I asked for piano
man about ten times in a row and he's always one,
and then tried to take over the piano at one point. Anyway,
then things got a bit hazy, and me and my

(01:19:03):
partner we woke up in the morning. We sort of
opened our eyes and I was looking around the room
and I was going, I don't remember our hotel room
being this flash, and I was and it was like incredibly,
incredibly flash, like a big room, almost like the Honeymoon Sweet.
And then I look around and I see some pedals,
petals on the floor, and then I see like a
bottle of unopened champagne beside us, and I go, I

(01:19:27):
think we're in the wrong room. And then we get
up and we go out into the other part of
the hotel suite and there's the bride and groom sleeping
incredibly uncomfortably on the count. You are out in the
lounge area, and we'd we'd somehow decided to you know,
every our way with the wedding bed.

Speaker 4 (01:19:48):
You hijacked the honeymoon sweet. Yeah, consummated, No, you jumped.
Oh sorry, you're passed out. You got very hazy.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
You can't consummate a wedding as guests, but it sounds
like you tried. It doesn't. You're embellishing the story, but
it was. It was huge.

Speaker 5 (01:20:09):
Heads off to the bride and groom.

Speaker 2 (01:20:10):
We might have anyway. It was humiliating.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Yeah, what was the discussion like at breakfast?

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
Well with a discussion like when we wake them up
on the couch, they were like, yeah, we got, we got.

Speaker 5 (01:20:25):
That is a great story. What great people, the bride
and groom.

Speaker 2 (01:20:28):
Yeah, legends. So they were very They were very I mean,
let's be honest, they were absolutely steam as well. I
couldn't remember much of the end of the evening.

Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
Sounded like a great wedding, right, let's get into this one.
So we've headed on the cards for a couple of days,
but we haven't got to it because we were absolutely
slammed with other great topics but unusual pits. And the
reason we're chatting about this is Wellington Council. We're getting
a bit concerned about people adopting the old bushtail possum
and apparently that's that's a bit of a no note

(01:20:57):
because it's a massive pissed But that's what we want
to have a chat about, unusual pits that you've got
that are not cats and dogs?

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
Yeah, have you got a python? Are you running a python?
Are you running a giant What are those giant rabbits called?

Speaker 5 (01:21:09):

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
She's sixteen past three and we're talking about unusual pets
you've got outside of cats and dogs. It turns out
there's a few people trying to adopt possums in Wellington.
But we're really keen to hear from you. Oh eight
hundred eighty ten eighty what are you got? Nine two
nine two is the text number as well. There's already
a few ticks that have come through this one says kidday, guys,

(01:25:29):
we've got a lovely Orpington chicken. She is great with
the kids. We had to buy the neighbor's cat.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
No, we had two, but the neighbor's cat got to one.
The cat has since gone missing. No comment.

Speaker 5 (01:25:43):
Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 2 (01:25:45):
So if you read through the story here, they had
a lovely Orpington chicken, which are show chickens. Yeah, the
very beautiful chickens, especially bread for their beauty. Very meaty
chickens lay a lot of eggs, but they're also very beautiful.
So if you had a show chicken. You know some
people like dog shows, there's chicken shows. You know that
there's you know down at your show like the Blueskin

(01:26:05):
Bay Show for example.

Speaker 5 (01:26:07):
You know a lot about chickens.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
Big fan of chickens. We used to run a lot
of chickens on the farm when I was going up.
I was in charge of the chickens. Good to feed
the chickens. Used to feed the chickens a lot we had.
But the neighbor's cat has killed one of their chickens
Ryan since then, the cat's gone missing. So the full
story here is this text has killed the neighbor's cat
for killing the chicken.

Speaker 4 (01:26:28):
Eye for an eye, yeah, which is probably fair enough.
I mean, we know you said no comment, dear Texter,
but heavily implied.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
I mean they been definitely killed the neighbors cat. You
don't have to worry about that, Tyra. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 26 (01:26:42):
Hi, longtime listener, first home caller. I love the show.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
Oh, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:26:47):
You're running some interesting pets, Tyra.

Speaker 26 (01:26:50):
Yes, I used to have three axle Lottels and I
currently have a quail that I hatched myself.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
Wow, So the three Let's deal with the ex A
lottles the Mexican walking fish first, So you currently have
three of them?

Speaker 26 (01:27:06):
No, I used to have three of them. I don't
have any now, okay, right?

Speaker 2 (01:27:10):
And what what a tracked you to walking for?

Speaker 26 (01:27:14):
I just I was in bird barn out in west
Auckland and they had a few up for rescue that
were looking worse for wear. So I just brought them home.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
And they had to look after a Mexican walking a
lot of what do you feed them?

Speaker 26 (01:27:30):
Extremely hard?

Speaker 5 (01:27:31):
They eat?

Speaker 26 (01:27:33):
Yes, they eat live worms, so you've got to keep
live worms. But you can't let the worms turn into
moths before you feed them, so you've really got to
balance things. You also have to feed them right into
their mouths. You have to use some long twizzers, tweezers.
You can't just drop the food in the.

Speaker 5 (01:27:49):
Tank themselves any favors.

Speaker 2 (01:27:51):
Your worms don't turn into moths.

Speaker 5 (01:27:55):
Some worms turn into moths, Yeah.

Speaker 26 (01:27:59):
There were the worms that feed at a lot of
do turn into moths.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Right amazing, And so you're running a worm farm to
feed the eggs, so you have to have a whole racing.

Speaker 26 (01:28:08):
Again we did eventually, Yeah, we did it. We were
just buying them pot by pot and then eventually we
started a worm farm because it was more price effective.

Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
It's a lot of work for an x A Lottel.
So what do I ask Lis? You had three, now
you've got zero? What what happened to the x A Lottels?

Speaker 26 (01:28:23):
One unfortunately passed away shortly after we got it. One
passed away a few years about three years after we
got it. They were rescued, so they were already quite old.
And then the last one we rehomed to a friend
because we no longer had the space to look after it.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
Do they do they like company with other ex A Lottls?
Do they do? They usually come in peers?

Speaker 26 (01:28:47):
No, they hate being with other other at three separate tanks.
It was a disaster.

Speaker 2 (01:28:54):
Quite a punishing peer, aren't they an x a lottel?

Speaker 5 (01:28:56):
I mean did they give.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
Did they give you any love and return or anything?
Did you get anything back from these littles? They just take, take, take.

Speaker 26 (01:29:04):
No, it's the most stressful pet I've ever had, terrific.
And they each other's arms off as well, likely like
they sometimes grow back, but they do. They do eat
each other's arms and fight it off, tails and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:29:15):
And if we could just move on to the quail
that you've got, Tyra. So it's a chicken an egg situation.
So you say you hatched a quail from an egg,
you must add another quail or come across a quail
to get the egg to hatch the quail from the egg.
If you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 26 (01:29:30):
No, there's a house or two doors down who have
I think they've got some sort of quail operation going on.
We've got an egg from them and chucked it in
an incubator.

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Yeah, touched, right, So when we're not gonna eat this quail,
we're not going to poach this egg, We're going to
hatch it.

Speaker 26 (01:29:48):
Yeah yeah, well yeah, it was fertilized. But yeah, we
get about an egg a day from from that quail,
and as soon as it stops giving us figgs it
all the next meal.

Speaker 5 (01:29:58):
Okay, Yeah, it's got a job to do, and as
soon as it fails, then it's going to be ROAs quail.

Speaker 2 (01:30:03):
Did you eat the eggs of lottls as well? No?

Speaker 26 (01:30:06):
No, no, no no no?

Speaker 2 (01:30:07):
Are they good? Are they good?

Speaker 11 (01:30:08):
Eating?

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Is an x a lot of a good eating fish.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
Someone must have given a crack.

Speaker 26 (01:30:12):
Yeah, I can't imagine. It must be similar to eel,
I suppose, but it is quite endangered, so I think it's.

Speaker 2 (01:30:18):
Probably frowned upon. Well, thank you so much and all
the best with the quail, and I hope it was
the quail.

Speaker 30 (01:30:24):
Got a name, Tweeter.

Speaker 5 (01:30:27):
That's tweet tweeter name.

Speaker 26 (01:30:29):
Two year old names.

Speaker 2 (01:30:30):
Yeah, Tweeter's on death row. Tweeter one one slip up
from tweeter. One day without an egg and tweetos eggs
and tweeter iver comes dinner.

Speaker 5 (01:30:39):
Thank you very much, I tyra, what a great call.
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is twenty two past three. There's some great teas
coming through as well on nine two ninety two.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
No, that's Mexican marching powder. I think you're thinking of
their Rory mad Heathen Tyler Adams.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Afternoons call Oh eight hundred eighty eight on News Talks EDB.

Speaker 5 (01:31:03):
News Talks B.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
It is twenty four past three, and we're talking about
unusual pets that you've got.

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
Outside of cats and.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
Dogs, Chickens are the best pets. They give back my
fore lay more than twenty eggs a week for most
of the year. We hardly ever buy eggs. I want
someone to genetically engineer a cat that lays avocados, and
life would be sweet ass.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
Yeah, if only I mean that, that would be an
impressive cat.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
That lays evocados. Good thing. Don't eat dog's eggs. That's
all the anvice I can give you. Jill, welcome to
the show. You're running a blackbird?

Speaker 31 (01:31:34):
Yes, good afternoon. Yes, I have Nigel the blackbird. He
has been living here for three years. He sort of
turned up and I started feeding him and he kind
of rules my life. And he has a girlfriends slash wife,
who has been around for the three years he has

(01:31:55):
but she hops away for months, but she's back.

Speaker 5 (01:31:58):
Ah wow, and.

Speaker 31 (01:31:59):
He's giving her the cold shoulder at the moment he's angry.
Two years She's built a nest to my whisteria is
thick again with all the new growth. So I'm kind
of waiting for the dive bombing into the whisteria. I
have her last two nests. Their works are out, so
I hope she builds again in there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
And so does Nigel ever come inside? Or as Nigel
just around.

Speaker 31 (01:32:27):
They strictly an outdoor bird. But he watches my every
movement and if I'm late up in the morning, he
taps on the window and.

Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
Kind so he knows.

Speaker 2 (01:32:39):
He knows that Nigel knows that is your every movement. Wow.

Speaker 31 (01:32:45):
If I'm in the kitchen, he's on the lawn peering
up at me. As I go out. He's on the
lawn when I come home, with his hands on his hips.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
But terrifying actually, Jill. I mean, if there was a raven,
you'd be worried. But oh yes, what are you feeding?
What are you feeding? Nigel? Jil?

Speaker 31 (01:33:04):
Just bird seed and breath and the cold meat on
a bone.

Speaker 5 (01:33:08):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Well, I hope Nigel. Everything works out with Nigel and
his girlfriend. I hope they things up.

Speaker 31 (01:33:15):
It does entertain I can tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
Well, good on your gel and all the best and
Nigel from.

Speaker 5 (01:33:22):
Us, good luck Nigel. That's a great story. Mark.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
How are you you're running a tortoise Mark?

Speaker 13 (01:33:28):
Yes, absolutely, Well we have two types of tourtous and
better training tortoises in the country that we allowed and
anybody's interested, they can go on high briscus stories and
see it on YouTube. But you know, we have people
who get information from all over the world from us.
Can we breathe them? So they have front yard, small

(01:33:52):
property in Westcockland and it's self sufficient. Essentially. They eat
weeds and high biscuits and flowers and leaves, so certain
tactices so I don't have to leave the property, defeat
them so outlive me. So they out my daughter. Yeah yeah,

(01:34:13):
and they keep their money, they keep their price, they.

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
Up all right, Okay, So how long did you say
that that these ones will live?

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
Mart?

Speaker 13 (01:34:21):
Well, I've got my first a creepers, a group of tortoises,
and the first five we bought. Yeah creep So the
first five rebot came from a deceased estate, right, So
he got.

Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Yeah, because I mean there was that there was the
Glappagas tortoise that Darwin gave to the Royal family and
Darwin brought it back on the Beagle from the Glapagos
Islands and only just passed away in two thousand and
six or something.

Speaker 13 (01:34:49):
No, none of none of the glass got made the
shores of England. The one that you're talking about is
Harriet who made it to the Aussie Zoo. The day
that severe day is based on the birthday that is,
I guess that was. But there's still I think Jonathan
or Timothy right up on the two hundreds, and there

(01:35:10):
was a present today. But the only reference to Darwin
never had to gas tortoises is what they taste like.
And the captain of the Beagle retired in Australia. So
that's how Queen Victoria.

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Never never made it right. And so just just to
get this right, A turtles, the one with the flaps
and the tortoises, the one with the clampers the feet.

Speaker 13 (01:35:40):
Well, okay, so turtles the family from. Yeah, so a
tortoise is a turtle, but the turtle is not not
necessarily a tortoise, So it goes from sea turtles that
are fully aquine. Then you have all the way up
into desert. Creatures much like tortoises, but certain tortoises are

(01:36:02):
tropical rainforest tortoises, some are you know, living cold America.
And the Russian tortoise. We don't have to get a
train anyones. And they were probably brought in from the
Yugoslavia and people. Everything here has to be prior in
nineteen seventy two when they we they have no you're

(01:36:23):
not allowed to keep well, you're allowed to keep natives lizards,
but you're not allowed to sell or trade in them
or anything like that, and you have to join the
herpetological Society. With our lossic reptiles, we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
We what can they do? What can a tortoise do
to damage our on?

Speaker 13 (01:36:41):
But it's red it's red head turtles likes any vegetables,
so that's why we're allowed to keep them. But things
like redhead turtles and blue tongue lizards and water dragons.
We have water dragons, but they're on a grandfather of
status and orphan. Now you're not allowed to I sell
or breed them, right, so we're like they'll be the
last one we'll be allowed to keep. Technically, this is

(01:37:04):
good stuff we outlive me anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:37:06):
Have you got you got a favorite tortoise, Frank, No.

Speaker 13 (01:37:10):
We have Zeus. He's like a dog. He comes from
it comes to tickles. And we have marigold that I
can hand feed and my daughter can hand feed. Daisy
is one of my top breeders, and she's just so.
We have two different species. We have Greek spirth eyes
and we have turmans. And we're controversial worldwide because we
keep adults together and we keep the sexes together and

(01:37:34):
stuff like that. So places like a little reptile park
with great and clothes and them little Poco, who's a
tiny little tortoise about the size of a I don't know,
God knows, godsmack stopper. She's about two years old. And
we have from hatchlings Miracle. We have Miracle, who's a

(01:37:54):
one eyed tortoise. She came out of her eggs with
one eye. She is the first Greek spirth eye that
we have. Bread to say favorite, I have lots of favorite.
But the real special thing is we have American box turtle,
which are the quintessential turtle that closes up in the
cartoons or tortoise, and they are tortoises of vegetarians and

(01:38:18):
our box turtles or eat snails and things like that.
And they won't swim. They float like a you know,
a ping pong ball. You put them on the pond
and they they have you're really interested, subscribe to the saturies.

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
Yeah, check it out. And a couple of couple of
points just before we let you go. Mark firstly with
a are they loving pets? Secondly, how terrifying are their
mouths when you look down their throats. There's a lot
going on there. And thirdly, it's pretty amusing when they
make love. They have they make they grunt. It's very human.

Speaker 13 (01:38:55):
But down their mouth isn't you're thinking? I think you're
thinking about a falcata, which is the smaller giant giant
species as the common really common species in America right
to the point that it's getting to and it's the
fastest growing so it'll grow to one hundred and fifty
kg's in about ten years and bulldoze everything in your house.
Yeah right, manhole man, you know manhole holes in your

(01:39:18):
your ground. Our tortoises aren't like that. They're you know,
they met a trainer. They just want to chill out
and have a bit of great well they're not add
great well out great leaves, but they just chill out
and have a bit of cuddle first on some flowers.
It looks like I'm really romantic because there's always a
pile of flowers on the ground. But it's solely food
for them, and it's just wonderful. You don't have to

(01:39:38):
leave the property of feeds them. There was a to
a minimum, it's not. I've had them for over twenty
five years and never had a bit book.

Speaker 2 (01:39:45):
So there you go.

Speaker 13 (01:39:47):
The best outlive you.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
Love it, Thank you so much, you go high.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
Biscus hat Trees on YouTube. He's a passionate man about
his tortoises.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
Yeah, and look, if you're interested, then there's point. We're
not going to play the audio online. But it's pretty
amusing if you if you look up mating tortoises.

Speaker 4 (01:40:05):
Yeah, a lot of videos out there, very funny, very amusing.
It is the twenty seven to four headlines coming up?
Are they we're taking more of your calls? What are
your unusual bets?

Speaker 5 (01:40:14):
Oh? One hundred and eighty ten eighty.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Doose talks at the headlines with Blue Bubble Taxis.

Speaker 16 (01:40:21):
There's no trouble with the Blue Bubble. Wild winds have
left a long tail of destruction in the South Island.
Tens of thousands of households in North Canterbury, Otago and
Southland are still without power. Southland and the Kluther District
are under a state of emergency, and Canterbury's is being
reviewed this afternoon. Fire and Emergencies urging caution this long weekend.

(01:41:27):
solve New Zealand's housing crisis. That's what public health expert
Philippa Halden Chapman writes, and you can read the full
column at Enzida Herald Premium. Back to matt Ethan Tyner Adams, thank.

Speaker 5 (01:41:38):
You, ray Lean.

Speaker 4 (01:41:39):
We are talking about unusual pets outside of cats and dogs.
Love to hear what you've got in your house. So
one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number.

Speaker 32 (01:41:47):
Call.

Speaker 4 (01:41:48):
Quite a few texts coming through on nine to nine
to two. We're going to call earlier from Louise who
had a pet blackbird that came into her yard called Nigel.

Speaker 5 (01:41:59):
And this Texas says, I too have a Nigel. He
also watches me and changes trees. Who can see which
room I'm in? As soon as I get home car,
he hops on my wing marat and follows me to
the front door. He doesn't want to come in. Fortunately
he's six now. I feed him bits of cheesetale cheese
slices in an avocado walnuts. His wife knows me, but

(01:42:20):
she's too timid.

Speaker 2 (01:42:21):
From Tricia, all right, good on your Trisha. Hey guys
love your show. Don't forget that rats and mice are
pes too, so they're going to go down that road next,
just saying what's next? Oh, I see what you're saying,
So that they're hassling people were having having possums. So
she's saying, first they come for your possums, then they
come for your mice, then they come for your rats.

Speaker 5 (01:42:39):
Great point. Yeah, you gotta fight the power.

Speaker 4 (01:42:42):
Yeah, nothing wrong with that pet possum, as long as
they're not eating up keiwed, what about giggs?

Speaker 2 (01:42:47):
What about that? Horrific No, but the possums, the possums
can't they don't. You know, as I said, when we're
talking about this the other day, I can't believe we're
still talking about it, talking about the other day when
I had that pet possum goober. That's right, they go fer,
they go far, or they get outside. Then they're just
ripping a natural flora and fauna to pieces. But I

(01:43:08):
was just going to say, like pitt mice, how do
they go out and about? But remember we had that
story where that pit mouse got out and bred with
a like a rogue, you know, wild mouse, and then
a kind of hybrid of the two came back and
attacked the other pit mice.

Speaker 5 (01:43:25):
Yeah, it was chaos.

Speaker 2 (01:43:26):
It turned into a Franken Mouse.

Speaker 5 (01:43:27):
Yeah, the king rat situation, Dave, how are you? Hey, guys,
get a mate, what do you got?

Speaker 32 (01:43:35):
Yeah, hey, I've got a bit of a feel good
story for you. So when my niece, when Gabrielle hit
the Hawk's Bay, my sort of most of my family's
still down in the bay and through Central Hawk's Bay.
My brother and his wife had to be airlifted. They
were in Parkway, so they were just on the other
side of one of the stop beings to burst and

(01:43:56):
they spend the whole day, most of it on the roof.
And then as the water got high, they remembered that
their son, Mitchell, had parked up his newly bought boat,
so they decided to get into the boat instead, and
they ended up getting airlifted. And when they got airlifted,
they had to leave behind the guys weren't going to
let them take their dogs. They pleaded in big and

(01:44:19):
they said, all right, you can take the dogs, but
they had to leave behind the goat, which they put
in the boat with them, and there were there were
two horses swimming around for their lives. So cut to
a few weeks later, my nephew lost his boat. You know,
when they got back to the house, the boat was
gone and so were the horses, and so was the

(01:44:41):
goat because the because the goat was left in the
boat and the boat was missing. So I, my nephew,
I said to them, you need to advertise it. He
just written a boxy, Oh it's gone. I said, no,
you need to tell them. So I actually rang talked back.
I rang this station and I mentioned it, and of
course there's a bit of a laugh because I was like,
so there's a goat in a boat that's missing.

Speaker 10 (01:45:03):
You.

Speaker 32 (01:45:04):
Well, well about my my niece was living in central
Hawk's Bay who owned the goat, but she didn't have
property for it at that stage. She and she was
she's a very hawsy girl. Her and all her horse
mates came and they were going around Hawks Bay looking
for these horses, and of course, you know, they were
finding them, both alive and sometimes dead. They found one
of their horses, the other one they found and that

(01:45:26):
was deceased, and they found the goat. This kind of
went viral. She got interviewed on TV three and got
to tell this. You know, it was kind of a
nice story because there was out of all the disaster,
there was this one goat that was found alive and
its the goat's name was Precious, this big thing. There
was a painting done of it. It's in our lounge home,

(01:45:46):
Precious the goat. Well, fast forward to now I'm going
through Facebook on my niece's post up. She's come home
to a place in White Park. Now they've got a
huge place. They've got horses, they've got goats, they've got
catalog at all sorts. They came home, the place was destroyed.
There were trees down the drive, there was a mess.
There was south flying around everywhere. And she said, you know,

(01:46:09):
fortunately the horses were here.

Speaker 12 (01:46:10):
But Barry's gone.

Speaker 32 (01:46:13):
And I jokingly well not choking my messages, saying you know,
please tell me there is not another coat. And she
she seen me back a photo of Berry and it
was who holding.

Speaker 10 (01:46:23):
Him duck Ah.

Speaker 32 (01:46:26):
And Barry had been blown away. They got back just
in time to see him being hurdled away in the
gusts of winds. And yesterday she because so she put
a post out saying please you can see this. You
see this duck and the answers to Burry, it's our duck.
Well there's the field, but part Barry came home. She

(01:46:47):
put a post up this day of her with Barry
in her arms, and I just thought, wow, that's that's
such a kind of coincident all the two of her,
anyone would get lost in the storm and both of
them come back.

Speaker 5 (01:46:55):
So that is a homeward bound style situation.

Speaker 2 (01:46:59):
That the duck wouldn't need a boat like the goat
needs a boat.

Speaker 19 (01:47:02):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:47:02):
The goat in the boat is Lisa Carrington, which is
a totally different thing as well. Yeah, but the duck
came back, Barry came back.

Speaker 5 (01:47:07):
And what a great named Barry Strong for a duck.

Speaker 2 (01:47:10):
Yeah, I've got a son called Berry.

Speaker 5 (01:47:11):
To you go, absolutely seventeen to four, back in a mow.

Speaker 1 (01:47:14):
The issues that affect you and a bit of fun
along the way. Mad Heath and Taylor Adams afternoons News Talks'.

Speaker 4 (01:47:22):
News Talks be it is quarter to four. We are
talking about unusual pets.

Speaker 2 (01:47:27):
We talked to a few people that are running blackbirds.
Get they Jeff your thoughts on blackbirds?

Speaker 33 (01:47:32):
Yeah, my thoughts are a little different on blackbirds. When
we were kids, my brother and I was seventy year
odd years ago, we had a big worn out tree
next to our air place. It's actually my grandmother's place,
huge thing it was, and there was a resident blackbird
there and every time we got into trouble, we'd say

(01:47:52):
to Mum, how do you know? And she'd say, A
little bird told me. After a while we figured out
it was this blackbird because it was always there and
always spying on us. And we threw everything out, this
bloom and blackbird, but we never got him.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
You were trying to kill the snitch, yea, and it
just gets stitches exactly.

Speaker 33 (01:48:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:12):
You're down in Greymouth, are you, Jeff him?

Speaker 24 (01:48:15):
Now?

Speaker 33 (01:48:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
What's the situation like? Down there?

Speaker 33 (01:48:18):
Is beautiful day to day. We've actually had sunshine the
first time since day one.

Speaker 5 (01:48:23):
Nice and she's all opened up. People can get to
the coast again.

Speaker 33 (01:48:27):
I don't know about that. No, I wouldn't guarantee that
that they. I haven't heard too much about the passes yet, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:48:36):
Well, yeah, good on your Jeff. And you look out
for those blackbirds, the blackbirds, still pigeons, those blackbirds.

Speaker 5 (01:48:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. Can you hear on you about your unusual pets?
A couple of texts coming through getta, guys. I have
a pet seagull that has been visiting my outside decking
for a good ten years now to devour almost everything
I put out. Loves French fries, chicken and meat scraps
and much more.

Speaker 5 (01:49:01):
I call him my gull.

Speaker 4 (01:49:03):
He has been knowing to tap on a window for
attention with his big regards from Michael, I mean that
is it's a strange one. Do you really want a
seagull turning up at your property?

Speaker 2 (01:49:12):
Hey, to seagully?

Speaker 5 (01:49:13):
To seagull, so annoying, so loud.

Speaker 2 (01:49:18):
Yeah, they terrorize fish and chips on the beach. Yeah, yeah,
I get rid of the seagull. My gal sounds all right,
tho as far as seagulls go. Hey, So let's put
this to bed. We talk about pets for long enough,
haven't we.

Speaker 10 (01:49:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:49:33):
Okay, yeah, yeah, we've had some good stories.

Speaker 2 (01:49:35):
I want to start a new segment for on the show.
You know, on Friday we do we do different things
than we do in the rest of the week, just
fish the week, and it's it's a long weekend. So
I've got a new part of the show. It's called Advice.
It's the Friday Advice column.

Speaker 5 (01:49:49):
Okay, this is good.

Speaker 2 (01:49:50):
And you know, it's the long weekend, so people often
go really hard on the weekend. And when you go
really hard, you can wake up with something called anxiety,
which is you've really pushed the boat out and you
wake up in the morning and you're wracked with guilt
and humiliation terrible And often when that happens, you'll ring

(01:50:14):
friends that you that you've been out with the night before,
just to get a bit of reassurance that your behavior
was was okay. Yes, And Tom Nester here, he's a comedian,
a British comedian. He has done made this video and
it's the worst possible post beers phone call you could
possibly get from a mate. And here it is from

(01:50:35):
Tom Nester.

Speaker 29 (01:50:36):
A are you feeling rough?

Speaker 11 (01:50:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:50:39):
I thought you would be.

Speaker 29 (01:50:40):
Yeah, No, he was a bit of a mess last
night actually, yeah, embarrassed yourself of anything, way too drunk,
like noticeably more drunk than everyone else. Actually, possibly the
most embarrassing show and I've ever seen from any one
on any night out ever. Yeah, and you spend loads
of money as well.

Speaker 3 (01:50:56):
Oh you spent so much money?

Speaker 29 (01:50:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, probably really going to struggle till payday.

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
Now.

Speaker 29 (01:51:04):
Yeah, yeah, you've really messed up last night. Actually, I
think you should apologize as well to that girl. Yeah,
she didn't give you a number, but yeah, if anything,
I think it's virgin on a police matter how creepy
you were being. So I'll apologize if I was you. Yeah,
you could always go and do it in person. Oh no,

(01:51:24):
you're probably barred from that place, aren't you. Yeah, because
all the staff wasn't really happy with how he was
talking to the bar maid. Yeah, i'd call your parents
and all. Yeah, because I think you might have pocketed
doled them and when they called them back, he's been
really horrible to them. I think you've just really let
yourself down in sort of every imaginable way. Actually, yeah,
I'm quite annoyed at.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
You as well.

Speaker 29 (01:51:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you didn't do anything necessarily to me,
but just in case you thought I would be, I
am all right mate, But yeah, you have a bad day,
all right?

Speaker 11 (01:51:54):

professional photography.
