  Speaker 5: Paul. It's lovely to have you back. The Traders. New
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Zealand is back on last night. Fantastic first season. Our
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: friend Sam ended up taking it out.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He was a great winner.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I noticed the season less probably well known faces
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to start off. I'm sure we'll get to know them
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: across the series.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And that's a good thing about it. That's what I mean.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: The American franchise only have celebrities. The British franchise never
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: have celebrity. So we went half and half for the
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: first the first season. But I thought it was a
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: bad idea because you if You've got a whole lot
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: of strangers getting to know each other. It's great that
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: the audience get to know them at the same time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: It's a wonderful social experiment.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't a social expend. That's what it is. It's
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a social experiment.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one filmed in South Canterbury at the foot
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of Mount Horrible. Now why is it called Mount Horrible?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Do we know why?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: No?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: And that would have been something I could have found
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: out a legit play. It's a legit place. Well, it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a legit mountain.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Mount Horrible. It's very New Zealand. Like we wouldn't come
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: out and say it's Mount Beautiful.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: We're not there.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Someone says this is nice of you, thinks so I
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: thought it was horrible anyway.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Tall poppy chopping mountains. Exactly the thing I.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Wonder, because you know, you've been everywhere over the last
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: few days. Everyone wants to talk to you. They send
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: out alerts, balling rees on news dogs. They'd been our
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: tune and do they So there's still so much demand
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: for you. But you won't come back full time?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: No, But maybe that's why you know less is more.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't go back full time but it is surprising.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: But I think it is that it's that whole thing
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: with the with the house. I was watching Million dollar
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Listing New York the other day, because that's what retired
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: people do.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Intelligent retired people watch that. Stupid retired people watch tipping point.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I was watching million dollar listing. Oh did you
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: see that one time?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: No?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: So, so I was watching million dollars in New York
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: and the guy said he got this new apartment listing,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and he said, so what we do will invite everyone
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: but just to a party there and everyone will say,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I is it available? And it was on the market,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: but no, it's not. No, it's not available. Is it
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: going to come up? Is it going to come on
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the market? Ah, you know it might, but you know
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you couldn't afford it anyway, and they sold it straight
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: away just based on So that's sort.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Of me, really, isn't it, Henry?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, we're not entirely. I wonder if we'll ever find out.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: Do you know what half of the people listening now
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: are thinking, Oh, God.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: To be happy.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I've never heard from put up your own paywall? Haven't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you like pay more if you want more? Of poor Henry.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You see, I'm liking this.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I love it when you because you spend a lot
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of time overseas, and I love it when you come
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: back and you give us your little snapshot state of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the nation.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Because on a lot of time in America as well.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Now America. Interesting debate we've been talking about as well
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on Friday between the two.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Where do you stand?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Oh geez, I don't know. I feel like I stand
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with either of them. So many people it feels very
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: much like surely there'd be some other options.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were other options.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Were they any good?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, okay. So here's the thing. I mean, who
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: knows if Biden's going to make it to the finish line.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: The only reason, the only way you can get rid
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: of Biden without him, you know, throwing the towel in,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the only way you can actually do it is to
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: use the Amendment, which would then make Kamala Harris the
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: president of the United States. She's even less liked than
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden. She's absolutely bloody hopeless. On paper, She's one
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: of those people on paper looks great, you'd employ her
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: unless you met her.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Really, yea better on paper?
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Better on the dream was to probably roll her out.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Originally maybe originally, you know who they should have chosen,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: mayor Peteah Great, you know, young, intelligent. He would have
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: been a great running mate for Joe Biden. And he's homosexual,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: so you wouldn't have as many people saying, oh, why
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: haven't you got a woman?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Do you think that's a hamstring for them though, given
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that he's homosexual in America?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Do you know? I don't think so now. It would
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: have been a decade ago, but I don't think so now.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm overestimating them, but he would be He would
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: have been a brilliant running mate. But they're really stuck now,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, and your point. You know, you've got what
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: three hundred and forty million people, and it's down to
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: two old guys, one of them barking mad and the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: other one clinically dead. When I said clinically dead, it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: almost like weak end.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Bernie's alive. So back here, how do you think things
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: are back here when you come back to New Zealand.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, if you'd asked me that yesterday, I would have
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: answered differently. But you've asked me today and I have
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: just traveled across town in rush hour. I mean we
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: joke about cones. Honest to god, that's the business to
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: be in, isn't.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's just.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: It's not horrible if you're in the market for a
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: myth though good access.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: To me, that's an opportunity for Smith and Cover and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the media.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Very sad that news HUBBS is coming to an end.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I know you would have a We've got an affiliation
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: with news Hub over the years.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Are you surprised, No, I'm surprised that people are surprised.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: You know why why would people be surprised. I mean
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I suggested that they closed news Hub about five years
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: ago to save the organization. I said, you've got to
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: shut it down. I mean, why are people surprised. Within
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: the last week, one of my neighbors in Palm Springs
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: sent a photograph of my swimming pool and the sky
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: above it with a rocket launching. Now, you can't expect
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: to see that and have everything else stay the same.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Shut down, what isn't working and get with the times.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: It's just they've waited too long to do it. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: it's exactly the same with TV and Z. You know
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: they're in crisis talks now. I mean, seriously, that's how
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: bad their management is for the last debt.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Oh look, you've got me on a hobby.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: For the last bloody decade, society has been telling them
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: that the way they live is changing, the way they
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: you know, the way they consume media is changing. They've
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: done nothing about it, but moan, Oh god, it's hard
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: to get people to watch the news now, you know. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: And at the same time they're feeding people the news
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: by their phone twenty four to seven. You know, did
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: they think that all those people were going to just
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: read it but then want to hear it again and
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: again and again?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Idiots?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: So are you glad you're no longer doing that news
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: on TV?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You see, there's frustration.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: You need a podcast. That's what everyone's doing now exactly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: That's why I don't do it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Do you guys do a pot? Of course you do.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Wow, the radio show goes gets made into a podcast.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Oh that's different. Yeah, no, no skin off your nose exactly.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Do you get any extra money for it?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone listens to But that's all right.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And there's a rub with podcasts.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: And even if they do, how do you monetize it?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: And I know some people do, but it's the coins
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: it's coins in the palm of your hand.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Are you because radios so it kind of stuck in there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: It's weird, a weird. Radio has been a survivor. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: mean you look at Netflix. They're in real trouble. They've
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: sort of bounced back because they change their business model.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: But it is weird the things that survive, and radio
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: is one of those, so new things that have come
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: along subsequent to radio. You remember that song video killed
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: the radio start, No, it didn't actually video killed itself.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: And so there are a few things that are survivors,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: and it's under threat, but still people like a little bit.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: They want to hear someone tell them the time.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Weird, weird. You shouldn't say that media, Yeah you are,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: hang okay with that, and Ben tells the time but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not too bad, not too bad.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: But see, people like that. If it was a it
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: would never get it wrong. Now it will start to
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: recognize that people like it to be wrong sometimes.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just quickly, your daughter, Bellas, there have been twins,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Is that right now?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Twins?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Did you predict it to.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Predict the twins?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, I just thought I'm looking at you now, Bella.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: There's more than one and they're either having an adult or.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Please tell me.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Didn't tell her that she's good like that? So she's
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in the hospital now and almost.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: What are you? Popper?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Granddad?
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Granddad?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Granddad?
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: It's well they're all Popper is quite conservative too, but no,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I quite like granddad.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about that?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I've got two grandchildren. Really, look at me, for
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: God's sake, John, you.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Don't look granddad material.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: No, I don't act granddad material. But if you didn't
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: know me, and you just looked at me and think,
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: look at that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry old you.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Come on here?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You know you sprightly, you got a little.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I could barely open the door.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The door you're not, Joe Biden?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Just as heavy are you?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Are you hands on? Do you like cuddles with babies.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Or I'm not fussed on babies once they've got little personalities.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: But that's why Jesus made parents to look after them.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: When they're really left.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, Henry, I know you've got a lot of interviews.
