Good afternoon, Happy Friday to you. Welcome into the show, Kida, Maddie,

Now before we get to that, you've got a big
weekend coming up, man.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Look, just if you're interested and you're in Hamilton, then
on Sunday I'm speaking at the Hamilton Arts Festival about
my book and other such things, and you can get
tickets by going to the Hamilton Arts Festival look that
up on Google.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I'm going to be speaking with.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
A great New Zealander who wrote a great book, The
Untold Story of the Inns Sas Jamie Panell. He's a
great man, wrote this great book, and so it's me
and him from two thirty I believers on the Sunday

Pm this Sunday, great city and great event. That is awesome.
Get down there right onto the show. Today after three
o'clock we do have New Zealander of the Week as
we always do on Friday, and some great nominations. But boy,
oh boy, the winner today you will lose your mind.
It's huge, it is messive, it is massive.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's going to be life changing for them.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
And also after three o'clock we want to ask you
the question do you have a favorite child? Research just
out says that whether you want to admit it or not,
you probably do. So we're going to put that question
to you. But also flip it around. Do you have
a favorite parent?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, and as I say, it's always your mum.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
So and after two sports memorabilia, So, have you seen
the fourteen hundred dollars American Football Warrior's helmet that's available
for sale to celebrate.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
The game coming up in Las Vegas. Yes, it is
a crazy thing.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
It certainly.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
It seems to be quite popular, and the Warriors do
merch incredibly well. I've bought multiple Warriors jerseys and hats
over the years, big fan. This one seems like a
crazy piece of merch and I can't understand why would
want it.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, how much?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's fourteen hundred dollars, I believe limited. I think there's
only one hundred of them.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
But it's a Rugby league NFL helmet signed Warriors, so
I guess it signifies that they're playing this game in
Las Vegas. Yeah, that's pretty exciting. I know a lot
of people that are going over there and they're very.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Excited about it.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
That's huge.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, always good to talk to someone after they've been
in Las Vegas for three days.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
The first two days are always great, Yes, by the
third day you want to get the hell out of there.
Try and piece your life back.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
To Ross City on everybody that they.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Need a caddle after three days in Las Vegas.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
You certainly do.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
But yeah, so we want to talk about sports memorability.
Is it worth it?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
What have you got?

Speaker 3 (03:40):
And well, what do you think about this one? And
how much is too much to spend on? What's memorability?

Speaker 4 (03:46):
You've got a lot of it, don't you.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, I've got an addiction for buying. I'll be watching
a game and I'll buy baseball jerseys because I'm a
big Dodgers fan.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I'll buy hats, I'll buy I don't know, I do.
I do have a problem. I have a problem, you know,
especially if one of my team's wins, you know, win's big.
I'll get excited and I don't know how to sell it.
Braid on the couch. So I'll end up buying a
bunch of stuff that then arrives in boxes three months later,
and I go, oh, God.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Right, that's going to be a great shed after two o'clock.
But right now, on the back of this story which
caught your interest, Maddie, there's a man called Wayne Kulpa.
He lives in Hokitika on the West Coast originally got
building consent to construct a three sided shed on his
land in the hills. He went on to sell the
property last year, but the local council discovered it had

(04:37):
been turned into a home. They didn't like that. They
went to inspect it and saw it wasn't compliance, and
the council sort of caught order to get further access,
but withdrew it's application. Now they've taken an alternative pathway.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, and I don't want to talk about this case specifically,
but one jumped into my mind and I'd like to
tear people's opinions on this on eight hundred and eighty
ten eighty or nine two nine two is the text number.
Are we trying to live in a five star country?
Are we trying to have a a champagne lifestyle on.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
A beer budget?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Across the board? Are we doing things too flash? And
then that's why we can't get things done. Obviously, no
one's saying no regulations, but there's got to be somewhere
in the middle where we sit now, we were so
incredibly regulated that we can't get things done. Like a
classic example, I'd say, and look, you know everyone's talked
about this.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
At nauseum at nauseum.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
But you know, pedestrian crossings that are raised and cost
five hundred thousand dollars when just some paint would do.
Or bike lanes that just look absolutely beautiful. I'm thinking
about the ones on Franklin Road, although they do seem
like a death trap to me how people back out.
But do they need to be two lanes and absolutely
beautiful or could they just be done with a strip

(05:57):
of paint on the road or just laying some bricks
in a line. You know, are we trying to make
everything so absolutely beautiful and incredible when we don't have
that kind of money, And do we just need to
be a country that is not a five star hotel
but a pretty good motel. It's pretty nice, it does
the job, you get things done, The.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Swimming pools open a couple of months of the year.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, you look at the city rail link, right, it's
cause billions and billions and billions of dollars over what
we thought it was going to be. And even then
that was one point eight billion dollars. I believe they
started one point six one point eight and that blew
my mind how expensive it was. And now it's just
blown out, and now we've been told we're going to
spend another two hundred million dollars on dealing with the crossings.
Was there a motel version of that we could have built, Yeah,

(06:41):
rather than the five star, absolutely beautiful, multi billion dollar
thing that we've built.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
I definitely agree with you when it comes to the
likes of the public spending those Coying a Order homes
that they were building for. I think it was on
average one point two million dollars. That was thirty percent
above the market rate. Why why is it costing Coying
or order thirty percent more? It's a builder property than
anybody else in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, it's crazy. Do they just have to be just
a little bit simpler everything, Just be a little bit
more functional and not quite as beautiful. Just lower our expectations,
just for the next we want just admit that we're
not Monaco.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah hundred.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
I know I could be wrong. I'd love to hear
your opinion.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
This text, it definitely says sometimes you only open your
mouth to shove the other foot into it.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, he obviously knows how to build a house, so
let him have it. So at this point, I'm confused sarcasm.
I'm not smart enough to get it. Same applies across
the country. We can let doc do what they want
and we'll get Cave Creek. Let mining companies do what
they want, and we'll get Pike River. We can let
ship maintainers do what they like. A lah Christus this morning.
I hate government in their overreach. But no regulation, as

(07:46):
you suggest, can only be considered by those with no brains.
That's from Goose. No one's suggesting no regulation. I'm just
saying it appears we're trying to do things five star
when we are just a decent motel. Yep, does the job?
Park your car in front of it? Kind of curtains
are okay? You know, there's like a little little table

(08:07):
and chairs in the lounge. The TV stuck on the wall.
It's not a massive one, but you can still watch
some sport. They might have sky sport in there.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
If you want to live behind corrigated iron, then that
is your choice. It's pretty warm and Hoko thicker, isn't it?
And Wayne seems pretty happy? But love to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Eight hundred beautifully warm and hokl.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is an obt cale. Nineteen
ninety two is the text number. Let's get into it.
It is fourteen past one.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
The big stories, the big issues, the big trends, and
everything in between.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Matt and Taylor Afternoons with the Volvo.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
XC ninety, attention to detail and a commitment to comfort
news talks.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
There'd be.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Good afternoon. Welcome into the show. Sixteen past one, and
we are discussing are we trying to build a five
star hotel when we should be okay with a motel,
a half decent motel, when we are trying to rebuild
the economy.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
It's a bit of a stretch of a metaphor. It's
a bit of a strained metaphor. But I think people
understand what I'm mean this TEXTA for example, a nine
two New York with eighty million people has green painted
painted cycle lanes, not any concrete barricades.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Why they don't have eighty million people? That might be
a might be a typee. Yeah, what's the population of
New York?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's about was it about twelve million? Fourteen?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's weird because they do they do population differently.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
In America. You sort of have the the you know,
the central city. You know, let's not get into it.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, but it just the population just goes out now
and now by the time, you know, it never stops.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
But it's a big Yeah, it's a big place. And
it sounds like their cycle ways are a lot less
glamorous than ours. Good a guys, I would say most
of the money spent on council stuff is way over blowing.
It is a lot of ideology when we just do
not have the money to spend on it right now,

(09:58):
look at the rates increases across the board. Yes, we
need to drop down eight expectations.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yeah, this text on nine two ninet two seris guys.
You do know that Kianga order have their own healthy
homestand which is over and above government regulations and includes
a mandatory heat transfer system plus heat pumps.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's from David.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
So that sounds like you're trying to run a five
star hotel when we only have money for you know,
a three star motel.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, I mean that is crazy when you've got what
is it, twenty thousand people on the wait list for
a social house and they have to put bloody heat
transfer systems into it.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, Joe, welcome the show.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Your thoughts please, Sorry, just before you go, Joe, the population.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Of New York was eight point two million, right right.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
That's all so I think that's just there was just
a you know, someone texting they've hadded a zero that
and they didn't think it was eighty million.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
All right?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Sorry, ayway, Joe, you got to be that to bed
good a Joe, your thoughts.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Hey, just a couple of things both sort of tuned
in halfway through a conversation on a three sided garage,
a dwelling, a living PREMI.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
At it's something's not done properly or to close. There's
no there's nothing in writing or to prove that it was.
So there's the fact that there's no evidence that the
drainage is don't because if he's the right flights, I've
gone through the right way or that that's the that's

(11:27):
the issue with why they can't just lee every topic
and areas of what they want them, any how skilful
they are.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Do you think do you think do you think it's
weighted to you know, I agree one hundred percent you
can't and I don't really want to focus on this
particular story. That was just what threw the idea into
my mind. But where do you think are we too
regulated or are we underregulated? Where do you think we
sit on on that spectrum.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
I don't think we're too regulated. I don't think that
the the red tape and the rubbish you're going to
go through with counts onto to try and get paperwork
and documentation that is so easy. They make it so
hard that that's the part of the difficul of you know,
if you have to go and get a bar engineer

(12:14):
or a drainage engineer or someone to do something, all good,
but getting that across the board and documented and the
way that accounts want it, and it all costs money
as well, it's just so hard. That's the part that's
that's difficult. It's not the regulation myself my opinion.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Well are you are you in the in the business
of of building?

Speaker 7 (12:39):
Uh? Yeah, I'm in the construction industry. On each year
according to design. He's why I'm ringing regarding comments do
we need to find hotel when we just need a
symbol that's it's pretty better, bet or whatever. It's not
actually the materials or the labor or well it is,

(13:02):
it's not actually the materials on on building something flash.
That is the cost. It is the allowances for contingencies,
late labor, weather and and pretty much the time frame.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
That that you have to allow.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
So you're not course with contractual penalties.

Speaker 9 (13:26):
You know.

Speaker 10 (13:27):
Yeah, but but what about, Jeff, we take it out
to if we take it away from from the specific
and get to sort of more what I'm talking about,
which is just an approach to the entire country.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Say, for example, when when when we're building, give.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
A good example on a cycleway. Okay, right outside my
house they're putting a sike away and next to we've
got a coastline road. And I watched them do h
part which is about the list of my driveway. Now,
if you want to sort of compare apples for apples,

(14:05):
I could get a few mates dig up the driveway
for in a weekend and a long weekend to be safe. Okay,
it's a Sunday and a Monday, a long weekend. The
spraying street of what path with no instrum materials, lets
reinforcement to the council, a month and a half of

(14:26):
traffic management. One person doing something that could have been done,
you know, one person on one day doing something, another
person doing something, another day, when you know, my job
is to compact the program to match sure that a
ten guys can be doing ten different things on one day.
Let's see them all than there because the least I'm

(14:49):
on site the part of the program, you know, and
the flow on effect.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
So Joe, you're saying basically that it's not that we're
trying to do a five star hotel when we should
be doing a motel. We're going the wrong way about
building the five star motel. Just to talk to the
metaphor even more.

Speaker 7 (15:08):
It's too hard, it takes too long. You know, everyone's
everyone's the subcontractor, you know, will give them the bills
or give these guys the drainers. We'll give these guys
and they've all got their own project managers. And then
you've got a project manager that they're project managers all
the other all the other trades. And that's just clipping

(15:30):
the ticket, clipping the ticket, clipping the ciccut. So when
you do a job for counsel, more so than government,
the allowances, the contingencies you make to make sure you
can do that job what they want, what specified without
losing money, you are going to probably ten times the

(15:50):
actual cost that it should be to cover yourself.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Right, So yeah, I mean that seems to me that
Counsel should just be taken They're not the right organization
to be dealing with that, Joe, clearly. You know, if
if it's causing such a backlog and so much extra
regulation and double checking and all the rest of it,

(16:15):
all this red tape, maybe it needs to be taken
out of their hands and delivered by another organization.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Council is a good example for money wasting in my opinions.
But as a whole New Zealand, I think that our
money is blowing into an endless health and traffic management
is a huge part of overspending and New Zealand and

(16:43):
everyone talks about rotocones, But I'll tell you what. You
put a team of guys of traffic management that they
have to deal with one hundred meters of road. They've
got a team of eight people there, five trucks and
all the rest of it. And even then, because they
didn't finish the job, they have to stay there overnight

(17:03):
to operate the red and yellow traffic light system.

Speaker 11 (17:06):
So you know, yeah, alone, yeah, well that might be
what I'm saying. We're currently running five Star traffic Management.
We should be running one Star traffic management or a
motel version.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Hey, thank you so much for your call.

Speaker 12 (17:20):
Joe.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
One hundred eighty ten eighty is and number to call
nine two ninety two is the text number. We'll pick
it back up for you shortly twenty five past one.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Putting the tough questions to the newspeakers the Mic Hasking Breakfast.

Speaker 13 (17:32):
The troubles that in New Zealand have been having played
out in number four yesterday as a half years I've
got release profits down eighteen percent to one hundred and
six million in New Zealand's tub executive Greek four and
is back. Whether it's what's your biggest problem, the engines
or the new planes you aren't getting.

Speaker 12 (17:45):
Primarily, I would say the engines first stuck.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
We're heading into a.

Speaker 12 (17:49):
Period MIC where we're going to have eleven of our
aircraft unavailable. That's going to be about seven thousand seats
a day. We have to cover that by bringing in
leased aircraft because we just cannot get enough engines out
of Rolls Royce and Cratton.

Speaker 13 (18:04):
Webb back Monday from six am the Mike Hosking Breakfast
with maybe these real estate news talk Z.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Be good afternoon. One hundred and eighteen eighty is the
number to call. Nine two nine two is the text number.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
I'm asking the question today, are we trying to run
a Pullman hotel of a country when we should be
running the Lisa Rose, the hotel I recently stayed in Napier.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah, now that is that's the analogy.

Speaker 14 (18:29):
Get a josh yeah, Hey boys, Yeah, No. Something I've
been thinking about it for a while is these red
zone places a and how we're going to adjust adjust
for that in the future. But like some of these
well we've got property in Hawke's Bay, We've got property

(18:50):
in Wellington, We've even got some up here in Auckland
that are being deemed as you can't build there. So obviously,
if if you can't get insurance for a property, you're
not going to how to build it. So just one

(19:11):
of the ideas was why can't we focus more on
semi permanent dwellings, so like portable buildings that can be removed,
you know, and to get around the insurance thing. I
started thinking about Cumia. You guys saw the story about Cumire. Yeah, yeah,

(19:34):
so I mean a perfect area. I mean it's not perfect,
but a nice area where people have lived for one
hundred years and now they're beginning to sort of get
to the stage where insurance is not going to be available. Yeah,
so no one can build this, so yes, should we

(19:54):
cut corners? I'm like, yeah, well, some of us just
want to buy a block of land and do what
we please. And I know that's not I mean, I
know you need to take certain things off, like tall
to like taller blocks, all this kind of thing, but
I would I would love the opportunity to just, you know,

(20:19):
be able to do what I Like's ridiculous.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
So what you're saying, you just buy a piece of land,
you maybe signed something that says I'm taking my own
responsibility for this. I'm not going to do everything exactly right.
If it falls on my head, it's.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
My own fault.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
I don't have any insurance because no one will insure it.
But you know, I'm just going to gamble. I'm going
to risk it.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
But I won't I won't come ask you for help.

Speaker 14 (20:41):
I think, yeah, well, I think if you could buy it,
if you could buy it outright, you don't need a mortgage,
so you wouldn't need the insurance tied in with the mortgage. Yeah,
so as long as you were agreeable that you were
only putting non permanent dwellings on that property and you're

(21:02):
not asking for insurance, I'm not sure what the problem
is there, Like with just.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
A big favela like you have in Rio, just a huge,
a huge lawless for vela, which is a good time
if you've been avelop.

Speaker 14 (21:17):
People knock, people knock shipping containers of sense of really
amazing facilities made out of these containers with you know,
indoor smoking areas and things like that, Like you wouldn't
know they were containers when you're enter the premise. It
just looks like the house. Yeah, and people, you know,

(21:42):
they talk smack about those properties, you know, like, ah,
it just looks awful. But no, I mean, hey, if
we're going to utilize land that can't be ensured, then
we're gonna have to think a bit outside the box.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, all right, thank you for your call, Josh.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Interesting idea.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I mean, you just sign up to be a lawless citizen.
I mean, you know you still don't you don't go
committing major crimes on there, But you're just saying, can
I operate outside of these really really strict regulations. I'm
not going to sell it to anyone. I own this property,
I own this land. I'm building this thing.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's just me in here.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
You know.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
I won't be able to sell it. Yeah, if it
goes I want, I won't be able to insure it.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Have you ended up sliding down a hell? Then just
leave me down there? What's the problem?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Well, I guess problem is when you move your kids
in there.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah right, Yeah, so they don't really ever say it.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Maybe something called the hermit law, like if you just
want to be a hermit.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
If you don't have a family, go for gold. Yeah hundred.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I want to talk about Meola Road in Auckland next,
in terms of my theory that we're trying to run
the Pullman Hotel when we need to be running the
Lisa Roads.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Oh, this is gonna be good. Oh one hundred and
eighty ten eight years and I'm going to called. I'd
love to hear your thoughts. Nine nine to take the
number headlines with railing coming up.

Speaker 15 (22:54):
Us talks, it'd be headlines with blue bubble taxis. It's
no trouble with a blue bubble. A former Colorado Sheriff's
deputy it has been convicted today over the fatal shooting

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Thank you very much, Rayleen, it is twenty four to two.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
What Josh is ignoring a says this text is every
time there's a national natural disaster, those with no insurance
is yell loudest for help and handout. It's all well
and good, opting out and saying you'll be responsible, but
when the worst happens, I guarantee they'll forget that. That's
for Mary, Yes, because I was suggesting maybe the hermit law,
where if you just say I'm going to live on
this plot of land, I'm going to be outside of it,
but I I'm going to get no insurance and there's

(24:37):
no way I'm going to be able to sell this
property on. But you'd also have to sign when things
go down. Yep, I'm not going to ask to be helped. Yes,
you just leave me at part of the contract. Yeah,
leave me on the roof of my house when the
flooding comes.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Because Mary is quite right. There was a couple of
hermits for lack of a bit of word in christ
Church that weren't insured and we're loving their life without
counsel interference. But of course, when the earthquakes hit that
when first to say, hey, who's going to pay for
my scheck?

Speaker 3 (25:04):
This text from Craig Matt Portable Accommodation. Isn't that a
trailer park? Who the hell wants that? It's a good point.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
We need trailer parks in New Zealand. A trailer park.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Well, my only real knowledge of the trailer parks is
the Trailer Park Boys, the Canadian TV show.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
And that looks like a fun time, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Well, yes, until the kids start throwing bottles. Hey lads,
it took four years to build the Golden gate Bridge
here in Watata. It took four years to build a roundabout,
not just any roundabout, lots of extravagant, unnecessarily concreted raised
curves to funnel you through the roundabout in case you
don't know how to use it. We need to stop
thinking like five Star and start thinking best Western.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Barj Arab and start thinking best Western, because I was
thinking about that the other day. It was me and
me and my partner. We like to go to our
little on our little bike rides.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
We've got on a little bikes and we ride out.
We're running out point chiev and e bikes. Yeah, punishing,
punishing e bikists. We put on our little helmets and
our little shorts and we go for a ride and
we go to a restaurant or something. And we were
riding our bikes down Myola Road, Myoler Road, you know
that between Point Chief and.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, lovely dog park there.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah, And we were going out to restaurant and we
were driving down those new bike lanes and they are
absolutely beautiful.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
They are spectacular. They are five star.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
And my point is, we don't need that, just like
we'd have been just as good going down there way
making a five star cycle lane for us two woundeds
to go out and get something to eat.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
They rolled out in the red carpet for you guys.
There was no one else on them, and we were
just going down there. This is beautiful for us, but
it would have been just as good if it was
if it just had some like a line on the road,
if it was just painted, if.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It was just something like like a line right down
the road and we knew that was the cycle round,
it would have.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Just been just as good. The reason when you were
just just as handy, if you know what I'm saying, yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
That that bike lane is bigger than the road. Yeah,
I've been down there.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
It's ridiculous, Like it's very lovely. Yeah, but there's no
cyclist when we were That's my point. That's great.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
If you were living in an insanely rich country, maybe
maybe we found something under the ground, you know, maybe
we were pulling diamonds out of the out of the hills,
you know, up from the ground, some bubbling crud or something.
Then maybe that's when we should be doing that. But
if we don't have that kind of money, then we might.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Just have to accept that we're staying at the Best Western.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yeah, very good, John, how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 16 (27:21):
Very good?

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 17 (27:23):
Yeah. I just wanted to comment about the kind of
like Joe was talking about the inefficiencies in the system.
I'm in education and see that people who quote towards
the ministry Education, they basically flesh them. And I think
anyone who does work for government departments MSD included home order,

(27:44):
there seems to be an expectation that you can charge
exorbitantly more to get the same service as what you
get in the private sector.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yeah, well, yeah, spot off. I mean, and I don't
know the rationale behind that. You know, anybody that looks
at that would just think somebody's clipping the ticket and
taking the mick. I mean, is that your interpretation of them?

Speaker 17 (28:08):
One hundred percent? I mean, I just think that that's
been become built into our expectation. I think there needs
to be reset now. I don't think we need an
al Musk to come and revamp the government departments to
make them more efficient. But I don't know, someone needs
to address that.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
He'd love that, he's ready to go.

Speaker 17 (28:32):
We wants to see someone getting paid three times more
than they need to to do the same job. You
know that that's the point.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah, I mean I guess, and you know you can
you can blame people for doing that, but if you
allow them, if you allow people to do it, they'll
do it.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, you know, hundred percent. Yeah.

Speaker 17 (28:45):
And we saw I saw a fence and a rural
school up here as an example, and it was going
to cost seven hundred thousand dollars to refence the school.
And I'm thinking, man, they don't want a gold plated
or something.

Speaker 16 (28:58):
It's just crazy.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah, John, thank you very much. And a lot of
people share your thoughts, some great tips coming through a
nine to nine to two. He would Tyler be Bubbles
in the trailer park from Craig.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, you would be bubbles. You would be Bubbles. I'd
be Randy if you with the shirt off. No, no,
I'd be Julian. Anyway, it's great show trailer Perke Voice
on Netflix.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Yeah, what's the name of the alcoholic who runs the
trailer park? Mister lay, great show. Check it out. Get
a lads. You don't have to, or rather don't you
have to set a price for a job and then
triple it to cover the exuberant so called consultation fees.
How much was spent on the pect and termin a

(29:42):
W upgrade before a single shovel hit the ground? Yes,
spot on.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Yeah, So I mean there has to be obviously, like
we're talking about this hermit law, and that's sort of
just a ridiculous thought experiment because it would never never happen,
the idea that you could just be say, I'm Hermit
McDermott and I'm going to live here on this plot
of land that I own, built my house, whatever happens, right,
But all I'm saying is somewhere where we don't want
it necessarily be there, but this it seems that we

(30:08):
way too far the other way where we want to
show off how flesh we are, and you know we're
overspending we've got. It's like the person that you know
buys a flasher car than they can afford just to
show off that they're amazing. We all really really want it,
but we can't all afford it, you know. And maybe
we're just a country that can't afford to be super flesh.
We can't afford the.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Kind of cycle ways that you get on mail or road,
you know.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Oh, eight one hundred eighty ten eighty, I love to
hear your thoughts on this. One nine two nine two
is the text number. Will play some messages and come
back with more of your calls very shortly. It is
seventeen to two.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
It's a fresh take on talkback Matt and Taylor Afternoons
with the Volvo XC nineteen turn every journey into something special.
Have your say on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
US talks.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Be Good Afternoon, Happy Friday, fourteen to two.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
So we've been talking about whether we're trying to run
a five star hotel of a country when we need
to be running just a decent motel that gets the
job and you can sleep the night over.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
There is there.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
It needs to be a thing like I'm trying to
think about what my my point is here. It's sort
of like a it's like an idea that's just just
beyond my mental grasp. But something like when we're building something,
should the first question be can we do a cheaper
version of this?

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And if it's going to be seventy percent is good,
let's go with it. Yeah, or fifty percent is good?

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Compared to if we're talking about these cycle lanes that
I'm particularly talking about, does someone go, hey, we could
do a this for half the price. It's like if
I'm doing a reno in my house, there's a lot
of ideas that are suggested. There's a lot of you know,
we could tile that bathroom like that?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
How much? How much is tiling that whole bathroom going
to be? Fifty thousand dollars?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Do you know what we get you on that bathroom?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Should we just make a plastic shower?

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Then well you could have some beautiful marble. Yeah, Marble's
really nice. At the moment, it's quite expensive, you know,
we're going to import it from Iceland.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, but it's beautiful, a marble kitchen, you know kitchen
benches that how much is that going to cost? Yeah,
that's going to cost seventy five thousand dollars. We'll go
through the standard steel, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
That's what That's what I'm trying trying to say, Brian,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 18 (32:18):
Good afternoon, gentlemen. I've just got a couple of points.
The first point is you're talking about, for example, all
the council expenditure on things the guts to Look, how
I've always seen it is they're not spending their own money. Now,
if you're doing something in your own home, you're getting
quotes and et cetera, because you're spending your money and
you want to know the cheaper way possible, if possible.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Yep.

Speaker 18 (32:40):
But with the council, sure, they've got a whole lot
of rules. They got that ad here too, But basically
they're not spending their own money, and if they haven't
got enough, they can just can't borrow some and load
it onto the rate players. I'm only saying this because
I'm bit dirty, having just spend a thousand over a
thousand dollars on its three months rate.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Let it rip.

Speaker 18 (33:01):
And the thing is the cycle lanes. I mean they
are probably one of the biggest plays of money in
christ Church after the earthquakes, and there's nothing but a hassle.
But putting that aside, coming back to the hotel, there's
a good analogy, you know, the five star hotel, there's
the best Western or whatever. I'm an old bugger now
and having seventy now, when I grew up in the

(33:24):
nineteen fifties here in christ Church, we're in Shirley and
it was like a brand new suburb. Everybody had a
basic three bedroom house. You didn't have people the odd
flash one but in general know because people were on
a three percent government loane, so the government to cash
and is well a family benefit, et cetera, and be
on a three percent loan. But all the houses were smallish,

(33:46):
three bedroom saying you only had one toilet on bathroom
one toilet, et cetera, et cetera. But we didn't grip,
We didn't know any better, shall we say?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (33:56):
And people were satisfied. People thought they were doing bloody well.
And compared to say, the nineteen thirties and forties, they
were doing.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
Well.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Yes, that's the comparison of something, isn't it. It's what
you're comparing yourself too. It's like and any luxury that
you get immediately become standard and it feels horrible to
get rid of it. So a lot of people right
now go, you can't live in a house with one bathroom.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
I mean on the farm.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
When I was growing up, our bathroom, how thought it
was outside and dunedan the hell was above Dunedin. I
wasn't a laundrum. It was calm, but you had to
go outside. Boy, it was cold. Had to have a
wooden seat to sit on it. And now save water
with that and it out. And now when me and
my partner are looking for a house where like it'll
need three bathrooms.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Three yeah, well, you know.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
For tracy and one for the kids, A man of them.

Speaker 18 (34:48):
These days, when people go and look at buying themselves
or new west house, they all want all bedrooms at
least two bathrooms. You know, heat transfer, the systems and
all that sort of stuff. Once upon a time we
just turned to heather up or put a fire on,
or you know, a walk. But as you're saying, it's
become expected and that puts the price of everything up.

(35:10):
And like you were just saying before, you know, I'm
I'm going to do a bathroom renovation. Well, once upon
a time you have to throw some white panel on
the wall and take yourself in flash. These days, these
days has got to be tiles, and I say, imported
from somewhere in New Zealand. New Zealand is a modest country.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Yes, that's kind of my point that that's what we
need to accept, that we're a modest countries.

Speaker 18 (35:32):
Yes. And when you start to talk about that really
got me going on that I thought you did right,
because we're not. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with about it, no, no,
and people are happy with it. But it used to be,
of course back in the fifties everybody was in the
same boat. Now these days the difference, say between christ
Church and Auckland hundreds of thousands of dollars, mainly due

(35:53):
to land and desirability, et cetera. Yeah, and so you know,
after the nineteen eighties when Douglas was an etcetera, and
everything were crazy, people up especially up Auckland Ray were
building big mansions whereas and so these days, even if
we go by say, a brand new house, a modest one,

(36:14):
a so called modest one. You know, it's still talking
like six hundred grand or more. It's down here, so
it pushes a price up and it makes it more unaffordable.
People have to rent longer and harder, et cetera. But
I gree if you totally. We're a modest country and
we should stick to the same, so we should stick
to those rules.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Excellent, Thank you so much for your call, Brian. I mean,
it'd be great if we weren't like, as I say,
if we find some like some diamond mines, let's go.

Speaker 4 (36:41):
Dig baby, deg can come on, we could find something here.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Let's go five s to art. But we're not.

Speaker 6 (36:45):
We're not.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
We're not in that situation.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Just what Brian was saying, because I know we've got
some messages to play, but the first time buyer is
now and I you know, I can't talk here and
jump on the high horse. Because our first home was
quite a nice home. It was a fairly modern build.
It was three beds, lucky for some Yeah, but is
that the thinking now that when people who are looking
for the first time they go right to the middle

(37:07):
range instead of starting right at the bottom where traditionally
generations would start at the bottom.

Speaker 19 (37:12):
Right.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
They want to go for an Instagram home.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Yeah, Instagram home, rather than just to check on a
piece of flat somewhere.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah, Hermit law.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call. It is eight to two.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Matties Tyler Adams taking your calls on Oh, eight hundred
eighty ten eighty Matten Taylor Afternoon with the Volvo xc
N eighty Tick every box.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
A seamless experience awaits news dogs V.

Speaker 4 (37:37):
Good afternoon. It is five to two.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
So we're talking about whether we're trying to live in
a five star country when we can only really afford
to be a decent hotel. You need to think like
an international travel that's not in New Zealand and New
Zealander are seen as a premium destination because of our landscape,
but also because it costs so much just to get here.
People come here and will be impressed with high quality
services and amenities. These are the sorts of travelers that

(38:01):
we want to attract, and people that can come here
and spend money, not your budget backpacker, because they do
not contribute to the great Deal. Great deal to our economy,
which is what we're trying to achieve overall. So people
come a long way to see our cycle lanes.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Maybe I don't know. Maybe yeah, yeah, maybe let's go
to Andrew. Welcome to the show mate.

Speaker 16 (38:25):
Today, Madame Tyler. Yeah, someone names Andrew. I have a
plumbing company up and walk Worth. We do plumbing, guess
and drainage. Now, I just want to bring a bit
of a different perspective on things from a trade's point
of view. So when we do a renovation, perhaps and
your place, Matt, we're doing a little bathroom and Daddy's
in there, and it's going to cost a lot less

(38:46):
than the likes of doing a commercial job. So I've
been tendering different my toes and a bit of commercial
and nastreal sort of projects. And I need to allow
a hell of a lot more for the projects for
health and safety align So we've got to be compliant
with me all this criteria. It's week long courses. You've
got to fill out permit that takes sort of a

(39:07):
week of admin just to get through and all these forms,
and then of course there's the daily site meetings and so.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Hey, Andrew, Andrew, could we just get we've just got
to nip off. We're running a bit late. Can can
we get you back to s affter the after the news?

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Sure for a chat. Yeah, if you can just hold on,
that'd be great. With just poor time management from Tyler
as left us backed up it.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
We got the news on the way. Android news waits
for no man, So just hold there, mate and we'll come.
We'll come back and pick it up very shortly. But
if you want to jump in on this one, one
hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number of cool news,
sport and weather on the way. I'm professional that from you.
We will see you on the other side and pick
up that chat with Andrew.

Speaker 1 (39:54):
Your new home for insightful and entertaining talk. It's Mattie
and Taylor Adams Afternoons with the Volvo x eighty on
News Talk.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Very good afternoons. You happy Friday, welcome back into the
sh show. Now just quickly before we get back to
our caller Andrew, who we had before the news. You
are down for an important event for Hamilton, actually the
Hamilton Arts Festival. You've got a particular speaking event down
there on Sunday, that's.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Correct, Tyler two thirty in the afternoon at the Hamilton
Gardens for Hamlet the Hamilton Arts Festival.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Yeah, it is a great event and obviously a fantastic city.
But you'll be speaking alongside a gentleman called Jamie Panell,
who survived the famous, famously tough Essays selection course and
has served in Afghanistan. Man, he seems like an absolute
leg in that guy, and of course to Rada. So
if you want to catch Matt down in Hamilton, now's

(40:51):
your chance. You can buy tickets on the Hamilton Arts
Festival website. That's two thirty on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Looking forward to it. Yeah, it's gonna be a good time,
So come along if you're in town.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Absolutely. Now, going back to our caller we had before
the news, Andrew, we've got your back here, mate, So
let's pick up with Let's pick up where we left
off from. You were talking about how things escalate when
it comes to the amount of money we're spending on
luxury items and luxury infrastructure when we may not be
able to afford it.

Speaker 16 (41:21):
Yeah, that's right. So predominantly I've worked in the residential,
domestic sort of area, but been dipping my toes into
the commercial and we've got a few jobs under our
bount now and I just wanted to sort of talk
about the ridiculous sort of health and safety criteria you've
got to mate and why the commercial jobs just costs
substantially more than, for example, our residential job. So it's

(41:45):
the ongoing house and safety burnits forms all the safety plans,
you've got to have extensive ppe for all your staff,
You've got to do side inductions. It's just so much
planning and appropriation and costs. They're going involved before we
can even get on site. So all that needs to
be sort of allowed for in the job. Of course,

(42:08):
not only that, but just from a business perspective, they
retain ten percent of every invoice for your attention, and
you also don't know when you can to get them.
Is it that code compliance? Is it a year after
the jobs you know, have been completed. So you've got
a factor that in some businesses that ten percent their profit,
you know, that's that's what they all they make out
of the job. It's that sort of cutthroat. Another thing

(42:30):
is that business to business is cutthroat. There's no emotion
in it, so you know, it's it all comes down
to did you put that in your scope of work
or or did you tag that out? Is no like residential,
it's it's much more sort of easy to you know,
easy to work with the clients and the homeowners. But yeah,
it's it's often like like I said, area a bathroom renovation,

(42:52):
for example, Matt's bias versus a bathro renovation at I
don't know, Orkham Hospital. They would it would be not double,
not driple, probably could dribble.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
And how much of it that do you think is necessary?

Speaker 16 (43:06):
Not a lot? Like for example, we have own internal
health and safety system that's simple and effective and it's
all we need. You know, we don't have accidents, we
don't have injuries. We talk about in New Missus and
our accidents and we report it all. But it's it's
it's not you know, steady page booklet. It's not you know,

(43:26):
a half day sort of induction to even get on site.
So yeah's it does overkill. It is ridiculous and it's
not required. And I wonder what other countries around the
world are you making this mandatory for commercial sites? Is
it just the the world New Zealand over here or
as the rest.

Speaker 20 (43:45):
Of them too.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Yeah, and so the end result for that is what
I was kind of saying, Does that mean that we
just don't get what we need? So we go why
can't we do this? Why is everything costing so much?
Why is there infrastructure a problem? Why is you know,
why is building stuff for the health sector a problem?
Is is that wise because it's over regulated?

Speaker 21 (44:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (44:07):
It could be, but you look at like the states,
their house systems totally different outs here in New zeal And.
You know, we're fortunately enough got a great house system here.
There's a lot of industries and construction. I hear there's
even more in the sort of agricultural sector. But yeah,
im as it come down to injuries, come down to
acc is it the government specifying all this? You know,

(44:31):
does it really make a difference. Does it make a
difference if you're in a hyber's best or not?

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I mean yeah, I mean when you.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Go there, and they used to talk about when they
did big infrastructure things in New Zealand, they'd lose like
a man a mile. That was the famous saying for
what was the tunnel that lost a man a mile? Yeah,
I can't remember exacutly. It was so as if you
want to have I mean, this sounds like a horrible
catch twenty two situation. But if you want to have
things done, get things done and big projects with the

(44:57):
money we have, does that just mean that we have
to there's a certain amount of risk to it, and
that we're just going to lose a certain amount of
people tragically to get it done for the good of
everyone else.

Speaker 16 (45:07):
Yeah, well we can't have Genuay.

Speaker 22 (45:09):
Who's going to be a.

Speaker 16 (45:11):
Middle ground somewhere?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I think if you can, if you.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
Can hear, like say, the Tube's system in London, the
whole Bronell set up, compared to trying to make the
city rail link in New Zealand, they were quite happy
with losing a few people down there when they were
building the tube back in the back in Victorian age.

Speaker 16 (45:29):
Yeah, I hope. So it's probably worth it that public fat.

Speaker 23 (45:35):
I love.

Speaker 3 (45:37):
Yeah, but if you're trying to sell that, I'm sorry,
now you go. I was just going to say, to
sell that now would be okay, this is going to
be the cost. We're probably going to lose about twenty
five people making it. We sell hard sell in.

Speaker 16 (45:52):
Certainly would be ok I've got around. Lets but just
before I go I want to say good luck to
the Wellington Phoenix this weekend. I hope they absolutely pants
or clinish and you know, win, all.

Speaker 2 (46:05):
Right, Andrew, Okay, then I was just talking to talk
doing someone out in the office before saying, how that
that Phoenix auklandy FC rivalry feels like it's twenty years
old and it's only just started.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
And on the first derby, the first derby, passions were
running so high, so.

Speaker 4 (46:21):
Great, great, yeah lost right right, That is where we'll
leave it, because after some messages, we want to talk
about sports memorabilia.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Yeah, and this particularly crazy Warriors opportunity that's out.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
There for you.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
Yeah, we'll tell you more very shortly. It is leading
past two, your.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
New home of afternoon Talk Matt and Taylor Afternoon with
the Volvo XC ninety turn every journey into something special.

Speaker 5 (46:50):
Call eight hundred News Talk said, be.

Speaker 4 (46:55):
Good afternoon. It is quarter past two, so we want
to have a chat about sports memorabilia. On the back
of a piece of memorabilia that is now up for sale,
it's related to the Warriors, our beloved Warriors. And just
read out a little bit of the blurb for this
piece of memorable Billia. This is your first and maybe
last chance to secure a truly unique piece of memorabilia.

(47:19):
This custom made New Zealand Warriors NFL helmet is manufactured
by Radell, the official helmet manufacturer of the NFL, and
comes personally signed by the team. Officially licensed, strictly limited,
and only made to order. Secure yours today.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Guy, love the Warriors.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
I've got a number of Warriors shirts and hats, but
this seems like the craziest piece of memorabilia. It's a
NFL helmet, which you don't. We're playing league obviously, no.
But they're playing in Las Vegas, all right, so they're
playing in the States. They've got an American football helmet
signed by the team.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Fourteen hundred dollars, Yeah, one, four hundred and ninety five
dollars Australian.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
That seems to me like quite a crazy piece of memorabilia.
If you had that on your wall, on your shelf,
would people go cool or they go huh?

Speaker 4 (48:08):
There'd be questions asked about it, and guess that kind
of sometimes the point about sports memorabilia that it's a
talking piece.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Yeah, well, o W one hundred and eighty ten eighty
what sports memorability have you got Do you know someone
that's got a sports mimorabilia addiction? People that are buying like,
for example, myself, I'm being banned from buying hats because
I buy so many hats of teams that I support,
and they're always arriving a little boxes boy, dozens and

(48:36):
dozens and dozens of hats, filling up an entire cupboard.
And I've got lots of shirts from different different teams
that support. I get excited when a team I'm following
wins and I jump on the site and I buy
it because I'm not really sure how to celebrate properly.
And I personally think it's a problem. Is sports memorabilia
a good thing? Is buying merch? Well, it's not just memorabilia,
because you know, I'd say memorabilia generally has to it's

(49:00):
down the track. I mean a lot of it's just merch.
I mean it's memorabilia are after some time. But I
would say I've got a merch sports merch problem.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
Is any of it framed hanging up on the wall,
Well that yeah, I mean merch memorabilia, And maybe if
you get any of those things signed, the merch signed
then at that point it becomes memorabilia that you might
get framed.

Speaker 3 (49:18):
Yeah, but I've got lots of stuff that signed, lots
of shirts and stuff to sign. But that's problematic because
then I can't wear them.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Because they need to be washed.

Speaker 4 (49:26):
Right, you need doubles then, And I've.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Got a supplementary question here. How come you get a
stain on something and you can't get it out? You've
got a signed shirt, you put it through the wash
once and it all completely disappears.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
You haven't done that? Have you done that?

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Oh, I had a highlanded shirt that was signed by
the whole team. Put it through the wash. It was
all gone. I didn't put it through the wash.

Speaker 4 (49:48):
To be fair, I'm devastated for you.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:51):
Oh, eight hundred eight ten eighty is the number to
call love to hear about your sports memorabilia. What have
you got and why?

Speaker 3 (49:59):
And does sports merch have any value at all? Or
we're just being scanned by the teams we follow for
more money?

Speaker 4 (50:05):
How much you reckon? You've spent on your beloved teams.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars, I think, and
you know it looks great. You go out to Auckland
FC this weekend. There'll be there's so many Auckland f
C shirts around they're hard to get.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
They sell out very quickly. Same with the Warriors, yep.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
And it feels good to go along to your team
and wear the shirt of the team you're supporting. It
feels good to just look around at everyone and wearing
the same shirt. I'm not sure why it does, but
it does.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
But is it worth it?

Speaker 4 (50:33):
It hypes it up, doesn't it. I mean at the
start of the Super Rugby competition last weekend, so many
people out there in the newsroom had their various shirts on,
a lot of Crusaders fans up here in Auckland. But
then you had the Blue supporters, a couple of Chiefs
in there. Didn't see too many Highlanders supporters.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
I'm going to say, yeah, I mean, Warrior's shirts are everywhere,
Warriors a hat everywhere.

Speaker 23 (50:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
Sports memorabilia, sports merch.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is twenty past two.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Matt Heathan Tyler Adams afternoons, call OH eight hundred and
eighty ten eighty on News Talk ZB afternoon.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
We're talking about sports memorabilia on the bank of a
new piece of memorabilia that you can purchase in relation
to the Warriors. It's any foul helmet, which is kind
of left field.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yeah, it is. I can't get my head around it.
As I said before, it's like the it's like having
a Warrior's cricket bat.

Speaker 4 (51:28):
It's not.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
But maybe that'll make it very collectible. Maybe yeah, maybe
maybe that that sets it in time, Maybe that maybe
it is awesome. Maybe I'm I'm dumb and I can't
get my head around it. Grant, you've got something pretty special.

Speaker 18 (51:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 22 (51:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
So in the early two thousands, I was given a
gift from a company that I worked for who won
this gift at an auction, a charity auction, and they
paid quite a lot of money for it. And at
the time I was incredibly excited. I was a huge cyclist.
I was well into the Turti watching the Turti France
and Lance Armstrong was my hair and I was given

(52:03):
a frame of sun Lance Armstrong photographs a live Strong
and it was signed by him. Even George Bush was
in one.

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Of those photos.

Speaker 6 (52:13):
And at the time, Jeeze, it was it was something
I cherished. It was on my wall and my study
for everyone. Yeah, right now, I don't think i'd be
able to give it away to any of my mates.

Speaker 2 (52:25):
Yeah, yeah, things change. There'll be a few people with O. J.
Simpson merch out there that'll be now has become an
interesting statement.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Yeah, give it enough time, Brant, and maybe down the
track it will be worth a pretty penny because it
was an extraordinary story.

Speaker 6 (52:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know at the time, you know,
that's what everybody was talking about. It was in the
early two thousands. I think he'd yeah, he had one five.
I think he had two more to ghostal.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
And yeah, I mean everything was yellow.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
I wore yellow and yellow. We all does it or
yellow bands on our arms, and you know, it was
a big hero at the time. But yeah, and I
supported him all the time. But yeah, not anymore. I
have put it away thinking like that one day something
something might happen and it might be worth him.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Well, yeah, like someone should bring us up and make
an offer on your Lance Armstrong memorabilia. How much would
you how much would you sell it for?

Speaker 24 (53:20):
Right here?

Speaker 6 (53:22):
Look that's hot. A couple of grand Well.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Yeah, okay, all right, people sell it to g for
someone because it's a good talking point.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Though.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
If you go into someone's man cave will be garon
and they've got some lance.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
I'm strong. It's a good chat. It's good chat, all right.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Something that's going to be one of the biggest sporting
falls from Grace because you know the way the whole
thing went down from just being an absolute hero. You know,
then can cancers, the amount of money he was he
was generating for cancer and charity, and he was doing
this amazing stuff and then being caught and the way

(54:03):
he went after people.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
It was an incredible fool from Grace. So Grant, thank
you so much for your call.

Speaker 4 (54:09):
A couple of texts here, guys. My partner has marn
Who's blues plane kit with his name handwritten on the elastic.
This was given to him for doing a small job
at his home. Love that nice?

Speaker 2 (54:25):
All right, Tony, what do you.

Speaker 25 (54:26):
Got hey, good mate?

Speaker 21 (54:28):
I've only got two bits. But first, is it that
you can't get your head around that helmet or is
it that the helmet won't go around your head?

Speaker 2 (54:37):
I do have a big head, both metaphorically and I
actually have a stupid head. Stupidly big Head's kind.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
Of oddly shapely when.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
I'm wearing a cap. It's on the last two runs.

Speaker 21 (54:47):
Yeah, I couldn't just asking that.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
It's good questions.

Speaker 21 (54:52):
So I've only got two bits. One is as signed
poster of John Britton's motorcycle, signed by the guy who
rode it after he died, which is for us, which
is very special. And the other thing I have as
a personally autograph book of Muhammad Ali's autobiography. Wow, you know,

(55:18):
signed to me, dated after I saw him that night?

Speaker 26 (55:22):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (55:23):
And what did you sign? By Muhammad Ali? Yep, that's
very cool.

Speaker 21 (55:27):
Got the ticket inside the cover. So they both go together,
they both live together. I'm almost scared to show people
and someone decides they like it more than I want?

Speaker 3 (55:40):
How much does that mean to you, Tony? If if
we're in a fire situation, is that is that you
know the house is bening down? Is that the first
thing you're going to grab?

Speaker 21 (55:50):
It's among the first things. I'm a music freak, so
there'd be a hell of a lot of music coming
out of the house first, you know. I'm sure I
could quickly slap the book inside the box with some
music on the way out.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Love that well, well, that's a very very very cool
thing to have. I saw this documentary of Muhammad Ali
near the end of his life, and you know, he
had money, but he always needed more, and you know,
he had an interesting life and and but his signatures
were just worth so much money that there'll be a
point in this day where he just signed stuff to

(56:25):
sell because.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
Everyone wants a Muhammad Ali signature. So that's very cool
that you've got one, Tony, that's what stuff.

Speaker 21 (56:34):
It's interesting the way he started out because there were
a group of twelve businessmen who funded him. So they
got together and said, hey, there's this young kid down
the boxing dude da data, and they all put money
in and they financed him. And I believe that that
has happened to other athletes in the States as well.

(56:57):
So he never would have got a shot had these
dudes not you know, chucked a few coins in the
in the box and said, this guy's going places right now.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
But then of course they'd want some money back for that.

Speaker 21 (57:11):
H of course I would consive Americans can't help that.

Speaker 23 (57:16):
Can we speak quick?

Speaker 3 (57:20):
What about a warrior's NFL helmet signed by Muhammad Ali?

Speaker 4 (57:26):
That would be worth.

Speaker 3 (57:27):
Hard hard to organize, seeing as he died in twenty sixteen. Yeah,
just a can you can you make it even more
cross code?

Speaker 5 (57:34):
There?

Speaker 4 (57:36):
Would that make you buy one?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
A Warriors in Warriors American football helmet signed by Donald
Trump and Lance Armstrong.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah, and Lance Armstrong.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
One hundred and eighty eighty. What is your sporting memorabilia
that you've got your home? Quick decks here Giday boys.
After thirty five years, I got back into basketball cards.
It's been around ten months and around fifteen thousand dollars low.
I'm addicted.

Speaker 20 (58:00):
Now.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Got some Kobe rookies that could go for around thirty
thousand dollars if they grade well. Ps. The life is
fully over it from some Yeah, basketball cards are huge,
aren't they?

Speaker 5 (58:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (58:13):
What about magic cards?

Speaker 23 (58:14):
You know?

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Post Malone brought her a particular magic card for two
million dollars far and yeah, my son got a post
post Malone to sign one of his magic cards.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
That'd be worth it?

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Why, I don't know?

Speaker 4 (58:28):
It was a magic card.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
That's cross Yes, See you've got a musician signing a
kind of quite nerdy game card.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
Was it an expensive magic card?

Speaker 5 (58:38):
Though?

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Has one was reason expensive? But it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
It wasn't post Malone's two million dollar magic card. But
collecting it gets you. As I say, I've got I've
got so many hats, so many shirts, team shirts.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Oh, eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call.
It is pretty much bang on two thirty headlines with
railing coming.

Speaker 15 (58:59):
Up us talk said the headlines with blue bubble taxi,

Back to Matt Eath and Tyler Adams.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
Thank you very much, Raylen and we're talking about sports memorabilia.
On the back of a NYFL helmet based on the
Warriors in lieu of their game in Las Vegas. It's
signed by the whole team. Slightly left field, but there's
great techs coming through on nine two ninety two.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Yeah, some of these are quite incredible. Back in the eighties,
Muhammad Ahali came to our school. He shook my hand.
I don't think I'd sell that, but he did kiss
my sister, and I reckon I'd still get some money
for her.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
That's from Henry right. Yeah, what do you do if
Mahammad Ali shakes your hand? I mean it's as I
say he died in twenty sixteen. It's not going to happen.
But you know what, do you varnish it and put
a glove on it?

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
How do you get money from that?

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
Chop it off and sell it?

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Speaking of falls from Gray, I have a prosthetic leg
from twenty twelve London Olympics from Oscar Pistorius.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
If that's real?

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
There does it?

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Please take stag give us a call.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
I need a picture.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
Yeah, I mean if that is legit, that is amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
Have you seen Oscar Pistorius's new girlfriend?

Speaker 26 (01:01:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
She looks very much like Reaversteak.

Speaker 4 (01:01:26):
She does very similar, very similar, slightly younger model.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Definitely had a type. He is a type. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:01:31):
O eighte hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number
to call.

Speaker 27 (01:01:34):
Ian.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
How are you this afternoon? Ian?

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
You've got a bit of stuff?

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
Ian?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Ian, I think I's gone to make a cup of
what's the what he's going on in the background as
you're watching Coral?

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
It sounds like it, doesn't it right? We'll come back
to Ian. We'll let him have his cup of tea. James,
how are you this afternoon?

Speaker 14 (01:02:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (01:02:00):
Good things, guys, I look quickly. I just jumped in
the car and I heard a Lion Armstrong story. I
just wanted to tell you about an experience I had.
I was in Austin, Texas and was only there for
a couple of days, and did we cycle to her
and the guy taking us around one of the highlights
where we stopped outside the Lance Armstrong's bike shop and

(01:02:26):
he pointed it out and all the tourists were a
gog And as we said that, he said across to
all of us is are they call them? Something to
do with a medical operation? He had you only having
one off something and I typed up and said, oh,
you mean the drug chief and got a few giggles.

(01:02:50):
But he called me to one side just as we
were finishing a kid mate. Honestly, you really don't want
to say that around here in Texas. He's still a
national hero, well our hero in Texas. Anyway, there's a photo,
there's a painting of him.

Speaker 28 (01:03:05):
On a wall.

Speaker 9 (01:03:06):
They absolutely still love him. So I'm sure your caller
with the right connections could sell that to someone and
so they jumping it. But it just shows you that
even though the world might perceive someone as a drug
cheater and as other problems in some areas they still hero.

Speaker 3 (01:03:25):
Well, there are those people that point out and I
forget the exact number of how far down the list
you have to get before there wasn't isn't someone that
wasn't cheating on the Tour de France around that era.
That's quite a long way down. So there are apologists
for Lance Armstrong around it was just what everyone was doing.
I think the problem is that he just went for

(01:03:46):
people hard that that started bringing it out. He doubled
down and he was so and he was so celebrated.
But yeah, so good to know when I when I'm
next in Austin, I won't go around sleeping off Lance Armstrong.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Thanks, thanks for your call, James.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
I think we've got Ian Beck now.

Speaker 22 (01:04:03):
Yeah, sure, I apologize, Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:04:05):
That's fine.

Speaker 22 (01:04:07):
Disappeared to the eater.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
Was a technical Did you did you have something on
you watching TV? We could hear something on that on the.

Speaker 22 (01:04:13):

but I wondered what has happened? Well technology, It's.

Then?

Speaker 23 (01:05:22):
Oh?

Speaker 22 (01:05:22):
A few grand, a few thousand bucks? But I mean

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
Yeah, but there is a caveat.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
It was a re release from in twenty twenty, so
it doesn't quite count. They're not from the original ones,
the reprints of the original ones. But it's in a
very cool box.

Wow wow, that would be that would be something.

Yeah.

Speaker 22 (01:06:59):
Yeah, I put it in the bank volt.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Yeah, that would be probably worth more than your matter.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
I'm a huge Beatles fan ian. Yeah, man's a Beatles fan.

Speaker 22 (01:07:08):
Yeah, I'm unbelievable. Going to London and Liverpool.

Speaker 6 (01:07:15):
It was like a peg.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Yeah yeah, you would been destroyed for you an everything.

Speaker 22 (01:07:21):
Oh yeah, you're traveled everywhere. A black English taxi cab
took me, took me around. I could not get in
the narrow streets he could.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
When was that in that you did that trip.

Speaker 22 (01:07:35):
About two thousand and six?

Speaker 2 (01:07:36):
Wow, yeah, that's awesome. Hey, thank you so much for
your call in.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
That's a Bresi that not having any of those records

Speaker 2 (01:07:46):
Yeah, I haven't put the haven't put the stylist in

Speaker 4 (01:07:50):
That is Inestant one and eighty eighty is the number
to call should we get to John, John, You've got.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
The oldest South Can it be Rugby jersey? In existence?

Speaker 9 (01:08:02):
Well?

Speaker 28 (01:08:04):
I came across a newspaper cutting which was being used
as a bookmark in a book I inherited from my mother,
and the cutting is about a distant relative of ours,
and it concerns a rugby jersey.

Speaker 19 (01:08:26):
Worn by a.

Speaker 28 (01:08:27):
Gordon Lawson who was an All Black in nineteen.

Speaker 26 (01:08:37):
Twenty heaney, Yeah, he was in a trial in nineteen
to twenty four and was an All Black in nineteen
twenty five.

Speaker 31 (01:08:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 28 (01:08:49):
What is believed to be the oldest South Candoby rugby
jersey in existence has been retrieved from a timry basement.
The jersey belonged to the late All Black Gordon Lawson,
and in spite of being well looked after by his
daughter Dedri who whose husband was a very good golfer,

(01:09:13):
the jersey is in frail condition. The jersey would have
been used between nineteen twenty one and nineteen thirty, and
according to historian Jeremy Sutherland, it is the oldest by
a long way.

Speaker 16 (01:09:27):
Where is it?

Speaker 28 (01:09:29):
It is now in the safekeeping of the New Zealand
All Black Rugby Union.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
Right right enough to.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Right So you don't have relighted. You don't have it?
What you don't have it?

Speaker 6 (01:09:44):
Though?

Speaker 28 (01:09:45):
No, I don't sounds like you love it, though well,
I thought that rugby fraternity in New Zealand might be
interested a bit of historical nonsense, but and the finder
of it. Cleaning out her late father's basement, she came
across this and presented it to the All Black to

(01:10:07):
the Rugby un Union and along with a picture of
the rugby team of the time and his all black
blows and cap are in the memorial library at Timurrow
Boys High. Just an interesting bit of nonsense.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
Yeah no, it certainly is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Well the least, thank you for sharing. They look pretty
cool back then in those days. And the shirt the
shirts back then you have the collar, but you also
had the lace up instead of the button.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
Bring that back. That was a good look.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Thank you for your call.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
John got to take to you. John got to take
a quick break. But we'll come back with more of
your calls. Oh, eight hundred and eighty ten eighty is
the number zero call.

Speaker 2 (01:10:46):
And including a Shane warn coffin.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
All that's going to be good, the big stories, the
big issues, to the big trends and everything in between.
Matt and Tayler afternoons.

Speaker 1 (01:10:58):
With the Volvo XC ninety, attention to detail and a
commitment to comfort news talks.

Speaker 5 (01:11:03):
They'd be good.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
Afternoon thirteen to three.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
So a piece of Warriors merch caught our eyes this morning.
It as an American football helmet signed by the Warriors
to celebrate their appearance in Las Vegas for the start
of the NRL, and it struck me as a very
strange piece of sporting merchandise. Yeah, but it may become
sporting memorabilia because it is so weird. It's a unique

(01:11:29):
piece because you've got a helmet from another sport, because
you obviously don't wear helmets in league.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
So it's just a very strange thing. It's like, as
I said before, having the Warriors release a cricket bat.

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
Yeah, but do you think for the diehards though, that
may be something the diehard Warriors fans and if they
are die hard NFL fans as well, they may look
at that, even at fifteen hundred bucks Ozzie and say
I need it, I want it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Well, I think so, because there's a few of them.
I think there's only a few left.

Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
So I would love to hear from you e one
hundred and eighty ten eighty if you would buy one,
or you've got excited since we mentioned it, you've looked
it up and you're thinking about buying.

Speaker 4 (01:12:09):
It, yeah, or you have bought one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
I don't want one, and I'm a huge Warriors fan.

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
If it was a couple of hundred bucks, I reckon
you'd probably pick up one.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
Wouldn't you want to a football helmet? I'd like a
Rams football helmet signed by Cooper carp and metthew Stafford
and pooka a coua. I'd be into that text here
from Peter on nine two nine two Shane Warn cricket coffin.
I know what you're thinking, because Shane Warren has tragically
passed away, is it Shane WARN's coffin? No, a cricket

(01:12:42):
coffin is like a chest that you put cricket gear,
all right.

Speaker 32 (01:12:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
I met him when he had his first ever taught
in New Zealand, played in the weekday side as he
was a new player. Came out after the match, handed
me the cricket coffin and signed it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Pretty weird, i'd say from Peter. So he gave you
the cricket coffin and then they're not cheap and signed it. Wow,
that would be very rare. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):
Great text.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
And like as tragic as it is when people pass,
the things that they've signed are more valuable. I would say,
someone here says I've got to sign journal on the
rugby ball, you know that would be yeah, I mean,
I mean he did sign a lot of rugby balls,
So johnal We've signed a lot of stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:13:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
Oh, one hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number.

Speaker 20 (01:13:23):
To call this.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
Texas says, I have over one thousand rugby League Jersey's
most expensive as fifteen thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
That is a serious collector here here. That puts my
collection to Shane.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
Where do you store one thousand of the League Jerseys?
I'm going to need a storage ship for that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:38):
Yeah, Diane, you've got something on your garage wall.

nice one taking a clear water beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
So where did you get Tiger to sign it? Was
that one of the opens?

Speaker 32 (01:14:48):
Was it?

Speaker 20 (01:14:48):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
No, she she bought it.

Speaker 33 (01:14:50):
Got good sign and that. But it's kind of a
talking point when I have people in the garage.

Speaker 3 (01:14:58):
So people come around to your house for dinner and
then after a few drinks you go come to the garage.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):

I don't have drunks right, and when we used to have.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
I don't say that you have drunks around for dinner.
I said you have dinner and then drinks. Anyway, I
like the idea of having drunks around for dinner. Just
got some drunks around the invitee. To be fair, I
do often have drunks around for dinner because my friends
like to drink.

Yeah, Calvin, Good afternoon, Math and Tyler. A couple of
brief things. First, all, when I go to athletics here
Park Stadium in Hamilton and the tron, I always give
a hug to the oak tree there which was growing
from a acorn from Timaru Whose High School. When Jack
Lovelock has won the fifteen out of meters three yeah,

(01:18:25):
in the ninety thirty six Billion Games, and the fearer
presented all the gold medal winners with potted trees. Anyway. Also, now,
when I was a primary school Fitty Aura School, one
of my teachers was Ponti Reid, who was an All
Black captain of the Midweek Games. But the main reason
I rang up is the why at Obay plenty Magic

(01:18:49):
Nepal Game. Whenever I go to the big time games
here in the tron hold that thought.

Speaker 25 (01:19:56):
Cow Bell, that's that White cattowba Planny Magic Netball caw
Bell Official cow Bell brought from them. Now when I
go to watch the White Catobo Planey Magic Netball here
the tron, they always have their latest big posters, you know,
the photo of the team. I always Colick that you
get that for nothing, and I've got here a fan,

(01:20:17):
you know, plastic fan. You're holding your hand waved backon
forward magic about plenty one side and on the other
side is Aloha every day Hawaiian Airlines. But the main
one was that that cow bell fifteen dollars. I bought
it for steel when I was up there. So a
steel a right, is kind of distinct sound, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
It certainly does.

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
Yeah, well, go have you had.

Speaker 25 (01:20:43):

a long time. That's the first cow bell I've had.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (01:21:03):
Calvin Hey.

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
He was talking before the break about the tree that
Adolf Hitler gifted to Jack love Lock. Atler gifted oak
saplings to one hundred and thirty gold medalists in the
nineteen thirty six Olympic Games, and then Jack Lovelock brought
it back to Timaru boys in at school and it's
been growing there for over eighty years and you can
visit it actually, So it's a tree that the tree

(01:21:24):
that Hitler gifted. So and I've had a few mates
that went to Timoroo boys, including Josh Thompson. He said
you could feel the evil, could feel the evil when
you walked around it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
How crazy. I'm just looking at it now. Yeah, why
is there not more widely known that is.

Speaker 2 (01:21:39):
A crazy just a little sapling that grew and grew
and grew.

Speaker 22 (01:21:41):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:41):
I mean, it's an interesting situation because you know, a
lot of people talk about the scary Hitler tree down there,
but I guess it's celebrating Jack Lovelock, so as.

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
Much as it's got something to do with Hitler.

Speaker 3 (01:21:54):
You know, great New Zealander Jack Lovelock received it for
winning gold in the fifteen hundred meters.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
Love it so a healthy looking tree. I'm just looking

Right out of Stelembosh rugby Club.

We ended up with doctor Danny Craven's portrait back in

From his rugby playing day.

Speaker 23 (01:27:04):

and doctor Donny Craven had died the year before and
into Africa. When you played club rugby, the whole club
goes right, the whole sort of senior excites going you
we're beat in those days anyway you did. Yeah, So
your fifteen would play at like ten o'clock in the

(01:27:26):
morning and your first team would play at two o'clock
in the afternoon, and the whole club would be there. Right.
So there's this chap called Lumper, the English taxi driver
from Leeds who couldn't handle the English summer. So he
would come over every year and prop up to fifteen
and play in the number three jersey. And you know,
he was a big lad, like he was a monster,

(01:27:46):
but he didn't.

Speaker 9 (01:27:47):
Move very quickly.

Speaker 23 (01:27:48):
But anyway, we hadn't beaten Stellembosch for a long long
time and we beat them that year and we were
loving at Stellembosh University, beating it, you know, like they're
pretty top club side over there. Anyway, we were getting
on the pass and it was all good, and we
were in the clubrooms and there was me and another
key we make sort of left over, and Lumper and.

Speaker 16 (01:28:12):
We were having a good time.

Speaker 9 (01:28:13):
You know.

Speaker 23 (01:28:13):
There were some nice ladies and stuff there and young
young girls and we.

Speaker 8 (01:28:16):
Were having a great time.

Speaker 23 (01:28:17):
And old Lumber was with it and he was pulling
into the past and he was getting really lippy, and
of course, you know the Afrikaans.

Speaker 8 (01:28:29):
Lads, they didn't like that at all.

Speaker 16 (01:28:31):
And anyway, it.

Speaker 23 (01:28:34):
Turned into a little bit of a scuffle and then
it turned into a bigger scuffle and then my mate
sort of got We didn't want to get involved in it,
but we were just sort of saying, Jesus Christ, there's
a lot of big boys here.

Speaker 8 (01:28:46):
What are we going to do?

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
And Lump is just giving it.

Speaker 23 (01:28:49):
To these guys, and his study leads accent and this thing.
Next thing, Lump is sort of going back against this
big fire place and he reaches over and he grabs
doctor Danny Craven's portraits who died there before holds it
over his head and he says, do you come anywhere
and going over me head.

Speaker 7 (01:29:12):
Meanwhile, we grabbed it called a cab while there was about.

Speaker 23 (01:29:16):
A five minute standoff with Danny Craven over his hit,
and we had to take Danny Craven home, so we
kidnapped them in the cab.

Speaker 9 (01:29:25):
Better return.

Speaker 23 (01:29:27):
So yeah, we had a bit of sports memorabilitia there
for about just under twenty four hours and the club's
management had to return them. So oh yeah, it's about
the only bit of sports memorability over heads.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
Good but yeah, briefly, Yeah, think of your call, Simon,
what a journey.

Speaker 5 (01:29:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:29:47):
Using a portrait of doctor Denny Craven as a hostage
seemed to work.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
Randall, how are you mate?

Speaker 31 (01:29:56):
Yeah, very good. Mast and Tyler of hard to compete
with that last story. I haven't been listening to it,
haven't been listening to your whole program, so I don't
know I've anyone mentioned Formula one racing car drivers. But
when I was when I was a school kid, I
was very very keen on Formula one racing, and of

(01:30:20):
course we got the world's best drivers out here and
at the seventh New Zealand International Grand Prix at Ardmore
in nineteen sixty I was selling programs as a thirteen
year old and I managed to get into the pits
and I got Bruce McLaren's autograph on the front of

(01:30:42):
a program, and then I got Jack Braden to sign
below him. And I was determined to get Stirling mosses
and I just couldn't get him at the track. So
I got my father. I found out it wasn't that
difficult in those days, found out where people were staying,
and we found out he was staying at the White
Here and Hotel in Parnell, and I got my father

(01:31:05):
to drop me off there and I went into the
hotel and they said, no, he hasn't come back from
the track yet. So I hung around and hung around outside,
and then all of a sudden, a couple of cars
swooped into the car park and one of them was
driven by Sterling moss And when he went to park it,

(01:31:26):
he clipped a metal rubbished them and entered the front mudguard.
And of course when he got out and I said,
you might have get your autograph in the front of
this program. He wasn't very heavy because the only person
has seen him have that little praying, but anyway you
find it. So I've got their three autographs on the

(01:31:49):
front of this program. And of course Jack Braden was
the current world champion at that stage. In Australian he
won the Grand Prix, Prince McLaren was second, and Sterling
Moss didn't actually finish. I think he had gearbox trouble
or something like that. So there's a little bit of
my some sporting memorability that I've got.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
That's pretty cool, very cool, Randall.

Speaker 3 (01:32:14):
Hey, guys, my sister has a baseball signed by the
entire Boston Red Sox team that won the two thousand
and four World Series. Before two thousand and four, the
Red Sox had won since nineteen eighteen. That's got to
be worth a lot, because the the ball that Freddy.

Speaker 2 (01:32:33):
Freeman with his walk off a Grand Slam in the
playoffs is worth sold for two million recently, Jay, just
from just from last season and the Dodgers run to
winning the World Series.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
So what do you reckon that would be worth I
don't know who.

Speaker 2 (01:32:48):
Worth a lot to a Red Sox fan, Yeah, Dyl
and Clevel would be happy with that.

Speaker 4 (01:32:52):
Quite a couple of techs here, guys, I met OJ
Simpson in a bar four months before he went on
to commit the crime, shook his hand and got his
autograph from Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
Yeah, we'll see.

Speaker 3 (01:33:06):
Yeah, that's the question about memorability if the person, you know,
like the notoriety of the person can add to the value, right.

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
Yeah, So having the big people that would pay a
lot of money for that.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (01:33:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
I saw an O. J.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
Simpson signed kids you know, footy helmet when I was
in the States once. It was going for quite a lot,
but it just seemed a bit weird by an O. J.
Simpson's kids helmet sign.

Speaker 4 (01:33:32):
Yeah, but creepy. Oh eight hundred and eighty ten eighty
is the number to call. Will take a few more
of your phone calls very shortly. Twenty four past three.

Speaker 1 (01:33:43):
Matt Heathen, Tyler Adams afternoons call oh eight hundred eighty
ten eighty On Youth Talk ZB.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
Twenty six past three.

Speaker 3 (01:33:50):
We're talking sporting memorabilia and merch after the Warriors are
selling fourteen hundred dollars American football helmets signed by the
whole team to celebrate this game coming up in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (01:34:03):
And we've got Craig, here, you've got some Martin Crow stuff.

Speaker 24 (01:34:07):
I have tc that guy who's got all those worrious
jerseys from day one just as well are worth gold
to him, because they're not worth much to anybody else.
This is a year, Craig, Yeah, yeah, for the last
what Anyhow, I've got two things. I've got a a

(01:34:30):
Bevan Congen Duncan Fernley cricket bat when he was having
his name put on them. And the other one I've
got is when Martin Crowe moved from Duncan Firley to
Gun and More, he did a lot of or quite
a bit of promotional photographic work. So I've got a

(01:34:53):
blocked mounted probably seven point fifty by a meter Martin
Crowe posing in his whites.

Speaker 5 (01:35:00):
With his.

Speaker 24 (01:35:02):
Gun and more, cricket pads, bats, gloves, et cetera. And
was mutchate enough to get it signed by the man himself.

Speaker 2 (01:35:13):
Very cool.

Speaker 3 (01:35:14):
I briefly had Martin Crow's beige cricket pants from I'm
not sure what game it was, but I was at
my friend Graham Hill's house. There's a party there. He
showed me them. I put the pants on and I
left and I woke up in them. I woke up
in the morning and got a call from Graham and
he's like, you've got to bring those pants back Martin.

(01:35:34):
Martin's on my back already for them. You can't just
be wearing those pants out on the town. So I
had to return turn them. Martin's a bit taller than
me as well, so but scuffed, but scuffed upround the bottom.

Speaker 24 (01:35:47):
He collected a lot of his He kept a lot
of his gear, didn't he Yeah he did. Yeah, I
had special momentums, as you know, when he scored a
tarn Et cetera.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
I mean I heard a great story recently from Mike
Whitney talking about a Richard Hadley. How much Richard Hadley
is very keen on getting any significant ball that he's
that was involved in anything. He's a great collector of
his memorabilia.

Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
And he'll pay big money for it.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
I think Mike Whitney had to give it to him. Yeah,
thanks for you cool, great, Sorry quickly.

Speaker 24 (01:36:25):
Kane might have been here as our greatest batsman, but
on the eye Martin Crowe.

Speaker 9 (01:36:30):
You'd never beat him.

Speaker 5 (01:36:31):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
And also Martin Crowe changed things in terms of levels
of confidence You've never seen a new Zealander that would
come out to bat with such confidence. You'd go through
his whole stretching routine. You'd make people wait. Yeah, it
was very cool, very cool. All right, thanks Greg, thank
you very much.

Speaker 4 (01:36:48):
We'll get one more before the headlines. Get a Chrish.

Speaker 20 (01:36:52):
Yeah, Tyler, look, yeah, I've got three things. The data,
my heart. Just before that, Jack Lovelock, I went to
Terminary Boys High. Not only is a lover oak there,
but but there when I was on the Odds Association,
we had made from from pieces of branches from the
oak to be trimmed, obviously quite often a love lock
Jack Lovelock. The statue, you know, finishing in Berlin and

(01:37:17):
every time we award the Outstanding Old Boy of the Year,
they get a miniature of love Lock from the oak.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
All right, so do you refer to it?

Speaker 3 (01:37:26):
So it's referred to correctly as the jab, the Jack
Lovelock oak, as opposed to Hitler's tree.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Some people referring to it, Oh yeah, most definitely.

Speaker 20 (01:37:34):
And also his daughter donated his gold medal from Berlin
and his Empire Games, and he's British University's medal as well,
so that's with Jack. But I've got one of only
four hundred bats. When Richard Hadley brought up four hundred wickets,
FIRSTEP bowler and Test cricket to do it, Matt Draker

(01:37:57):
caught cougar line Bush and Bady brought out obviously at
Lancaster Park, Bush and Bady brought out four hundred red roses.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 20 (01:38:06):
Well, yeah, when he got the wicket. And I've got
still got my program fully filled and from when we
first beat Australia at Lincaster Park in seventy four in
the Test, and I've got the full set of Terry
McClain's books. Oh wow, right through till he finished. Then
Don Cameron took over.

Speaker 3 (01:38:25):
That's the surprise items. That's some awesome stuff. Chris, my
mate Mike Lane and my mate Paul Ford, who run
the ACC and started the base Brigade.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
Well, Mike Lane's the boss of the SEC. They bought
the under Umble so they own the Underum ball.

Speaker 4 (01:38:41):
How much did they pay?

Speaker 3 (01:38:43):
I think they paid ten thousand for it, but it's
worth quite a lot now. And Paul got his house
robbed and everything was stolen, the sept of the ball,
which is the most valuable thing that was just sitting
on the mantelpiece. But they treat it with zero respect.
They bowl balls with it. I've held it, they've they
used to. They kept it in a security you know,
like a lock up for a while, but then they'd
have a few drinks and they go down and with

(01:39:04):
a bat and they play with it in the corridors.
So they got banned from the security lock up. But yeah,
they've got and they also own Richard Hadley's car. People
remember this when Richard Hadley won a car, but he
didn't back until then. At that point, up until that point,
you'd sell the car and share the money.

Speaker 2 (01:39:22):
But he kept the car. So it was a very
very controversial car. Alf Romeo believe they've.

Speaker 4 (01:39:29):
Bought that as well, and I treat that with respect,
I imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:39:32):
I think it's got a lot of rust. So I
think there's a lot of work being done.

Speaker 4 (01:39:35):
On right headlines with ray Lean coming up, it is

signed by Rolf Harris. I don't know if I should
keep it, to burn it or sell it. I don't enough.

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Rolf Harris books are going for much at the moment,
controversial if tanked, absolutely crashed, and value of Rolf Harris books.

Speaker 4 (01:41:45):
And I don't know if they come a bit right.
Good discussion. Thank you very much for all of that.
Right now, let's get into topical tunes.

Speaker 2 (01:41:54):
What is topical tunes? Tyler.

Speaker 4 (01:41:56):
Topical tunes is where Matt and I each pick a
song related to a bit of a theme of the week,
a story of the week, we play a song related
to that story, and the first three votes via phone
takes it out. If you want to text, you can,
but it doesn't count.

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
Yeah, okay, Oh wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty whose
song is best and whose song is most topical? It's
just because I think you often play a song but
it's so tenuously linked to the topic, whereas I play
songs that are not only great songs, but they're also
right on topic. Yep, And so I think I deserve
to be appreciated for that. On eight hundred and eighty

(01:42:31):
ten eighty.

Speaker 4 (01:42:31):
Well, I'm glad you've said that, because I took your
criticism on board, and I think this week it is
absolutely focused on my topic. Okay, So shall I go first?

Speaker 17 (01:42:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:42:40):
You go first time?

Speaker 4 (01:42:41):
All right? So the tenth edition of Electric Avenue begins today,
the first time the festival has been staged across two day.
Seventy thousand people will converge on christ Utures, Hagley Park,
Great Park that one and one of the ects that
will be playing is the Prodigy. So I've picked this song.

Speaker 14 (01:42:57):
I'm wow.

Speaker 2 (01:43:04):
I mean, as Chris Rock said, don't you just a tune?

Speaker 4 (01:43:09):
Yeah, get that down.

Speaker 2 (01:43:10):
You listen to that melody.

Speaker 4 (01:43:11):
Whoo, that's a good start until a Friday afternoon fire
started by the Prodigy.

Speaker 3 (01:43:16):
Okay, it'll be if that plays out eight hundred eighty
ten eighty. Dear like Tyler's song or do you like mine?
I mean a band playing in the country topic, I
don't know. I don't think it's really in the spirit
of it. That's where people will be bringing in droves
on eight hundred and eighty ten eighty to vote for me.
This week we found out that New Zealanders between the
age of twenty five and forty five have been leaving

(01:43:36):
the country in record numbers, which is a huge concern
because this cohort are key to making money in our
country and paying tax. Also, they aren't going on oe adventures.
They're going for jobs and they may not be coming back.
So this is why my song is so good and
topical from many graduics where.

Speaker 2 (01:43:58):
See because they want to get away, they want to
fly away.

Speaker 4 (01:44:03):
Is that celebrating the loss of our best and brightest.
You know, these people that are escaping from you to
never come back.

Speaker 3 (01:44:09):
Not sellouting Tyler acknowledging acknowledging Okay, eight hundred and eighty ten.

I just reminded me hearing that trailer there, guys and
the massive weekend and sport like they're always Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53:21):
Absolutely, So what's on your watch list? Well, there's three
keys for me.

Speaker 27 (01:53:24):
First one starts seven o'clock tonight unfortunate because I'm on air,
but I can multitask, so if I sound a little
distracted because I'm staring at the television as the Crusaders,
unbeaten take on the Chiefs unbeaten in Hamilton.

Speaker 2 (01:53:39):
Such a key actual ready, Yeah, picking the Chiefs for that.

Speaker 33 (01:53:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 27 (01:53:43):
And a lot of people have picked Damien mckinn's in
their fantasy rugby side because he tore it up. But
there's no way I can pack him to do well
against my lads.

Speaker 16 (01:53:49):
That's not happening.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
He's going to get cleaned out in the loose very fast.

Speaker 2 (01:53:52):
He was very good against the Blues though, well.

Speaker 27 (01:53:55):
Consistency is what we all want from Damian mckin prediction points,
prediction Oh yeah, everyone smashed them by third one smash
them Okay, yeah, all right, okay, No one knows today, right,
that's what I want, whether it happens or not. Another question, No,
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (01:54:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:11):
That's one game.

Speaker 27 (01:54:11):
But tomorrow five o'clock Auckland City the derby the third
and in Auckland FC and the Phoenix at go Media Stadium,
clock sold out. Huge fighting talk from Corica, the coach
manager goes yeah, we're going to take them threes at
I love it before the form they're in right now,
it's hard to argue against him, but let's not underestimate

(01:54:34):
what the Phoenix could provide. Muchel rohas is back off
the bench.

Speaker 3 (01:54:39):
It's it's a passion from the fans that feels like
it's twenty years old. It feels like it's one hundred
years old.

Speaker 15 (01:54:44):
You know.

Speaker 27 (01:54:45):
And you've got Cameron George going, oh, I don't know
about another team in the NRL, you know, So look
at your window from Mount Smart tomorrow and see how
good the fans are. And the other one, of course,
is are Parker Bicole even though it's no longer a
title fight? Right, I've paid for it?

Speaker 4 (01:54:59):
