Good morning and welcome to News Talks. 6 00:00:45,133 --> 00:00:47,973 Speaker 3: It be Jeck time with you this Saturday morning, this 7 00:00:48,093 --> 00:00:52,733 Speaker 3: Easter Saturday morning, as we all hopefully put our feet 8 00:00:52,813 --> 00:00:55,133 Speaker 3: up and enjoy a few treats over the long weekend. 9 00:00:55,173 --> 00:00:59,533 Speaker 3: My gosh, I have crazy expensive our Easter three eggs 10 00:00:59,533 --> 00:01:03,533 Speaker 3: this year has not. I mean I know that that 11 00:01:03,653 --> 00:01:05,613 Speaker 3: Easter eggs probably only make up a tiny bit of 12 00:01:05,653 --> 00:01:08,053 Speaker 3: the consumer price in next I haven't actually checked with 13 00:01:08,093 --> 00:01:11,813 Speaker 3: Stats New Zealand to what extent Easter eggs contribute to 14 00:01:11,853 --> 00:01:16,013 Speaker 3: our overall inflation rate, but if they were just looking 15 00:01:16,053 --> 00:01:18,493 Speaker 3: at Easter eggs, I'd be worried. So before ten o'clock 16 00:01:18,573 --> 00:01:21,213 Speaker 3: this morning, if you are looking to stretch the treats 17 00:01:21,213 --> 00:01:24,373 Speaker 3: a little bit this Eastern to elevate the treats a 18 00:01:24,413 --> 00:01:26,933 Speaker 3: little bit so you're not just relying on incredibly expensive 19 00:01:26,933 --> 00:01:29,693 Speaker 3: Easter eggs, we have the recipe for you, a delicious 20 00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:33,013 Speaker 3: Easter Rocky Road recipe as well of that we'll have 21 00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:37,613 Speaker 3: your film picks for the long weekend, including Robert Pattinson 22 00:01:37,693 --> 00:01:41,973 Speaker 3: and Zendaya starring together in the drama and then after 23 00:01:42,053 --> 00:01:44,893 Speaker 3: ten really really looking forward to this. If you're like me, 24 00:01:45,093 --> 00:01:48,013 Speaker 3: you will be a massive fan of the British panel shows. 25 00:01:48,053 --> 00:01:49,973 Speaker 3: I don't know what it is about the Brits. I 26 00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:51,613 Speaker 3: just wonder if it goes back to the good old 27 00:01:51,693 --> 00:01:54,413 Speaker 3: days of the BBC Radio, like in the nineteen forties 28 00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:56,933 Speaker 3: or something like that. But they are the absolute masters 29 00:01:57,213 --> 00:02:00,453 Speaker 3: of the panel comedy shows. And Stephen k Amos is 30 00:02:00,493 --> 00:02:03,453 Speaker 3: one of the regulars whom I love on the likes 31 00:02:03,493 --> 00:02:06,173 Speaker 3: of QI and live at the Apollo. So he's going 32 00:02:06,253 --> 00:02:08,093 Speaker 3: to be with us after ten o'clock this morning because 33 00:02:08,093 --> 00:02:09,733 Speaker 3: he is making his way to New Zealand, so he's 34 00:02:09,733 --> 00:02:12,013 Speaker 3: going to tell us all about his brand new stand 35 00:02:12,093 --> 00:02:15,053 Speaker 3: up tour. Right now though it is nine minutes past nine. 36 00:02:15,253 --> 00:02:16,773 Speaker 4: Jack Team. 37 00:02:17,053 --> 00:02:20,253 Speaker 3: So for my birthday this year, my wife went above 38 00:02:20,293 --> 00:02:23,213 Speaker 3: and beyond, as she so often does. I didn't want 39 00:02:23,213 --> 00:02:26,053 Speaker 3: a product, I didn't want a thing. I'm not really 40 00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:29,173 Speaker 3: interested in stuff, but for the last year of my thirties, 41 00:02:29,253 --> 00:02:33,093 Speaker 3: I asked for an experience and a couple of months 42 00:02:33,213 --> 00:02:35,613 Speaker 3: before the big day, I sort of casually dropped the 43 00:02:35,693 --> 00:02:39,013 Speaker 3: idea into conversation. How would you feel, I asked my 44 00:02:39,053 --> 00:02:43,213 Speaker 3: wife for my birthday this year. You took on all 45 00:02:43,253 --> 00:02:46,133 Speaker 3: of the family duties for a little bit, so I 46 00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:48,893 Speaker 3: can just duck off for a couple of nights in 47 00:02:48,933 --> 00:02:54,493 Speaker 3: the bush. Now, I'll admit to a bias, right, I 48 00:02:54,533 --> 00:02:57,733 Speaker 3: have spent more time in it than any other. But 49 00:02:57,813 --> 00:03:02,053 Speaker 3: I reckon the Kahurangi might be our best national park. 50 00:03:03,053 --> 00:03:07,693 Speaker 3: Although Fjordland National Park obviously boasts the mad of Milford, 51 00:03:07,733 --> 00:03:11,173 Speaker 3: doubtful and dusky sounds, and Abel Tasman has the golden 52 00:03:11,253 --> 00:03:15,253 Speaker 3: sand beaches. I just reckon between the Niko Groves meeting 53 00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:20,253 Speaker 3: the Tasman Sea and the true subalpine. I just reckon 54 00:03:20,773 --> 00:03:23,453 Speaker 3: that nothing can rival the Khudangi in terms of the 55 00:03:23,493 --> 00:03:27,813 Speaker 3: sheer variety of landscapes. And I was reminded of that 56 00:03:28,013 --> 00:03:31,933 Speaker 3: diversity this week when for my birthday escape, I joined 57 00:03:31,933 --> 00:03:34,333 Speaker 3: my brother and brother in law and we drove up 58 00:03:34,413 --> 00:03:38,693 Speaker 3: the Wangapeka River en route to climbing Mount Owen. So 59 00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:42,373 Speaker 3: we started at the spot called the Blue Creek Resurgence, 60 00:03:43,093 --> 00:03:49,293 Speaker 3: where beautiful, perfect clear water pores from the vast underground caves. 61 00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:51,893 Speaker 3: If you don't know what a resurgence is, it's basically 62 00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:54,253 Speaker 3: an underground river, and the key is in the name. 63 00:03:54,773 --> 00:03:59,773 Speaker 3: It's where it resurges or resurfaces. Not too far away 64 00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:02,173 Speaker 3: from the Blue Creek resurgence as the Crow flies as 65 00:04:02,213 --> 00:04:06,453 Speaker 3: the Pierce resurgence, where cave divers recently set an extraord 66 00:04:06,693 --> 00:04:09,893 Speaker 3: and terrifying record diving two hundred and forty five meters 67 00:04:09,933 --> 00:04:14,093 Speaker 3: deep into the earth. Like so many beautiful spots in 68 00:04:14,133 --> 00:04:18,293 Speaker 3: the South Island, the Kahudanngi had a gold rush. Unfortunately 69 00:04:18,413 --> 00:04:21,573 Speaker 3: for the hardy souls who braved the Wungapeka River in 70 00:04:21,613 --> 00:04:25,133 Speaker 3: the eighteen sixties, the quantities of gold that were actually 71 00:04:25,213 --> 00:04:30,013 Speaker 3: recovered were ultimately modest at best, and the odder I get, 72 00:04:30,053 --> 00:04:36,973 Speaker 3: the more I marvel. It just the ridiculous old gold works, 73 00:04:37,133 --> 00:04:40,253 Speaker 3: the huge bits of rusted iron machinery that once upon 74 00:04:40,293 --> 00:04:44,573 Speaker 3: a time were hauled up the least hospitable valleys, only 75 00:04:44,613 --> 00:04:48,133 Speaker 3: to be abandoned and left to be slowly consumed by 76 00:04:48,173 --> 00:04:53,173 Speaker 3: the bush. We climbed straight up, straight up. It was 77 00:04:53,213 --> 00:04:55,973 Speaker 3: too steep for chatter, and we soon fell into the 78 00:04:56,053 --> 00:04:58,293 Speaker 3: rhythm of the bush. The crunch of our boots, the 79 00:04:58,453 --> 00:05:03,693 Speaker 3: gasping heavy breath, hearts beating in our chests. The bird song, 80 00:05:03,853 --> 00:05:07,093 Speaker 3: so much bird song. Again. The old I get, the 81 00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:12,253 Speaker 3: more I appreciate it. There were countless bellbirds, robins, pewacka whaka, 82 00:05:12,373 --> 00:05:16,613 Speaker 3: and my new favorite cuty of all the New Zealand natives, 83 00:05:17,373 --> 00:05:20,813 Speaker 3: tom tits. We paused for a moment for a handful 84 00:05:20,813 --> 00:05:24,133 Speaker 3: of pick and mix, and two tiny, sweet little riflemen 85 00:05:24,213 --> 00:05:26,413 Speaker 3: came and perched on a twig right next to us. 86 00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:30,453 Speaker 3: We climbed above the bush line and then down into 87 00:05:30,493 --> 00:05:32,973 Speaker 3: another valley, up an old creek bed to the tidy 88 00:05:33,053 --> 00:05:36,013 Speaker 3: dock hut. It was actually pretty busy and we still 89 00:05:36,013 --> 00:05:39,853 Speaker 3: had legs, so we kept climbing up another hour to 90 00:05:39,893 --> 00:05:42,213 Speaker 3: a couple of tarns, where we pitched our tents for 91 00:05:42,253 --> 00:05:47,973 Speaker 3: the night. We were surrounded by three mighty limestone mountains, 92 00:05:48,293 --> 00:05:53,893 Speaker 3: a little plateau with spongy earth and tussock mother Nature's colosseum. 93 00:05:54,453 --> 00:05:57,213 Speaker 3: We dropped a couple of beers into the tarns just 94 00:05:57,213 --> 00:05:59,733 Speaker 3: to cool them off. As we pitched our flies and 95 00:05:59,773 --> 00:06:04,773 Speaker 3: cooked dinner. We were at about fifteen hundred meters, so 96 00:06:04,853 --> 00:06:08,813 Speaker 3: hardly everest, but high enough for the temperature to drop 97 00:06:09,093 --> 00:06:12,613 Speaker 3: really fast once the sun goes down. One minute your 98 00:06:12,653 --> 00:06:16,813 Speaker 3: clothes are rotting off, your body heavy with sweat, and 99 00:06:16,853 --> 00:06:20,053 Speaker 3: the next your double socking. We slept in our puffa 100 00:06:20,133 --> 00:06:24,053 Speaker 3: jackets and polyprops without any clouds or light pollution. The 101 00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:27,413 Speaker 3: sky was just so pure and bright. I actually had 102 00:06:27,453 --> 00:06:29,973 Speaker 3: to pull a beanie over my eyes to try and 103 00:06:30,013 --> 00:06:33,133 Speaker 3: get to sleep. Is it even tramping if you have 104 00:06:33,613 --> 00:06:37,813 Speaker 3: a full eight hours In the morning, we left our 105 00:06:37,853 --> 00:06:41,573 Speaker 3: camp and started climbing before sunrise. From the little plateau, 106 00:06:41,693 --> 00:06:46,093 Speaker 3: we worked up through the huge glaciated marble cast that 107 00:06:46,213 --> 00:06:48,493 Speaker 3: builds to the mountain summit. You can see why these 108 00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:51,653 Speaker 3: landscapes were chosen by the location scouts for Lord of 109 00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:57,613 Speaker 3: the Rings. Mind your step, skip the crevass, Up, up up. 110 00:06:59,213 --> 00:07:04,173 Speaker 3: The views from the top were awesome, not just awesome 111 00:07:04,373 --> 00:07:09,733 Speaker 3: as in good, but awesome as an inspiring war. We 112 00:07:09,813 --> 00:07:13,813 Speaker 3: could see incredible ranges on all sides, three sixty degrees, 113 00:07:14,573 --> 00:07:18,893 Speaker 3: clouds sitting deep in the valleys below, and one cloud 114 00:07:19,413 --> 00:07:22,213 Speaker 3: spilled over the edge of an alpine ridge and then 115 00:07:22,293 --> 00:07:25,053 Speaker 3: down the other side, kind of like water being tipped 116 00:07:25,093 --> 00:07:31,733 Speaker 3: from a glass. Several times we all just stopped. How 117 00:07:31,733 --> 00:07:34,973 Speaker 3: often in life. Are you ever in a time and 118 00:07:35,053 --> 00:07:39,413 Speaker 3: place where you can't see or hear any sign of 119 00:07:39,493 --> 00:07:45,453 Speaker 3: human civilization? Look, I am impossible to buy form, but 120 00:07:45,973 --> 00:07:47,773 Speaker 3: I've got to say for my birthday this year, my 121 00:07:47,813 --> 00:07:51,413 Speaker 3: wife absolutely nailed it. I walked out with burning quads 122 00:07:51,413 --> 00:07:54,493 Speaker 3: and a couple of blisters, just so content, so full 123 00:07:54,533 --> 00:07:58,893 Speaker 3: of gratitude, and to think these landscapes, these places are 124 00:07:58,973 --> 00:08:03,013 Speaker 3: there for all of us, that it's our home. What 125 00:08:03,133 --> 00:08:03,573 Speaker 3: a gift. 126 00:08:03,613 --> 00:08:08,573 Speaker 4: Indeed, Jack team. 127 00:08:07,213 --> 00:08:09,253 Speaker 3: If you want to see a couple of picks from 128 00:08:09,253 --> 00:08:11,853 Speaker 3: our excursion up Mount oh And, I've just chucked them 129 00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:14,093 Speaker 3: up on our Facebook page this morning Jacktame dot com. 130 00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:15,773 Speaker 3: We'll take you through to our Facebook page.

I promise there 175 00:10:12,693 --> 00:10:15,293 Speaker 3: aren't too many. It's not too punishing, but I've put 176 00:10:15,293 --> 00:10:17,293 Speaker 3: a couple of photos up on Facebook. One other little 177 00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:19,893 Speaker 3: takeaway I would say, actually from tramping, given this was 178 00:10:19,933 --> 00:10:23,613 Speaker 3: my first tramp since we had a baby thirteen months ago, 179 00:10:23,733 --> 00:10:25,973 Speaker 3: or my wife had a baby thirteen months ago, I 180 00:10:26,013 --> 00:10:29,213 Speaker 3: did have a slightly simpler role in the whole series 181 00:10:29,253 --> 00:10:33,133 Speaker 3: of events was that if you don't go for many tramps, 182 00:10:33,453 --> 00:10:38,253 Speaker 3: it is worth making sure that you take lots and 183 00:10:38,333 --> 00:10:41,293 Speaker 3: lots of really good food. We thought, well, we could 184 00:10:41,293 --> 00:10:43,293 Speaker 3: go light, and you know, we could have not very 185 00:10:43,453 --> 00:10:45,373 Speaker 3: tasty food, and you know it would mean that our 186 00:10:45,373 --> 00:10:47,613 Speaker 3: packs are slightly lighter. But then we thought, nah, bugger, 187 00:10:48,413 --> 00:10:50,733 Speaker 3: let's go all out. Let's do it luck styles. So 188 00:10:50,973 --> 00:10:53,453 Speaker 3: we had all the fancy freeze dried meals and a 189 00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:56,173 Speaker 3: couple of beers up on the tarn are so beautiful. Anyway, 190 00:10:56,213 --> 00:10:57,613 Speaker 3: I'll get to Mary text in a couple of minutes. 191 00:10:57,693 --> 00:10:59,893 Speaker 3: Kevin Milner's with us this morning, kiled Kevin. 192 00:11:00,213 --> 00:11:01,693 Speaker 5: Got it, Jack, It's a plenty old thing. 193 00:11:01,733 --> 00:11:05,093 Speaker 6: Actually, my daughter spent last night and I presume she's 194 00:11:05,173 --> 00:11:11,293 Speaker 6: not far from it. Now your dockhart on Mountdown. You're kidding, man, Yeah, no, no, 195 00:11:12,493 --> 00:11:16,973 Speaker 6: each other. Yeah, we should have actually just cut through 196 00:11:17,013 --> 00:11:19,213 Speaker 6: to her her from up there. 197 00:11:19,693 --> 00:11:23,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh how good. No, we we pushed a little 198 00:11:23,253 --> 00:11:27,333 Speaker 3: bit higher than the dock cut, just for you know, 199 00:11:27,373 --> 00:11:29,613 Speaker 3: because we had it still had legs. And actually it's 200 00:11:29,653 --> 00:11:32,733 Speaker 3: amazing to me, you know, you think, oh, well, it's 201 00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:36,453 Speaker 3: not an off Broadway tramp by any stretch. Of the imagination, 202 00:11:36,573 --> 00:11:38,413 Speaker 3: but it's probably not. It's not the heavy, it's not 203 00:11:38,493 --> 00:11:41,533 Speaker 3: a great walk. And yet you know, on a Wednesday, 204 00:11:42,373 --> 00:11:45,013 Speaker 3: you get there and the heart's absolutely pumping, and there 205 00:11:45,013 --> 00:11:48,093 Speaker 3: are kiwi's, there are people who are traveling from overseas. 206 00:11:48,093 --> 00:11:50,893 Speaker 3: It's great to see. I always always delighted to see 207 00:11:50,893 --> 00:11:53,213 Speaker 3: how many people enjoy, you know, getting out there and 208 00:11:53,893 --> 00:11:56,293 Speaker 3: you know, savoring. So hopefully Tommy's had some good weather 209 00:11:56,413 --> 00:11:58,973 Speaker 3: like we did, Kevin. But you were captivated by another 210 00:11:59,053 --> 00:12:02,733 Speaker 3: excursion another week, and it's fair to say it's probably 211 00:12:02,733 --> 00:12:04,213 Speaker 3: slightly more adventurous than mine. 212 00:12:05,373 --> 00:12:07,533 Speaker 6: Well, what a thrill it was on Thursday to watch 213 00:12:07,613 --> 00:12:11,533 Speaker 6: the launch of Artemis two, the US rocket taking four 214 00:12:11,573 --> 00:12:15,453 Speaker 6: astronauts on a journey around them around the Moon. There's 215 00:12:15,493 --> 00:12:17,693 Speaker 6: no other site like a launch. 216 00:12:17,773 --> 00:12:18,013 Speaker 4: Really. 217 00:12:18,093 --> 00:12:24,413 Speaker 6: The sheer power nearly four million kilograms of thrust, seventeen 218 00:12:24,533 --> 00:12:28,453 Speaker 6: percent more than the rockets that were on Apollo what, 219 00:12:28,573 --> 00:12:32,733 Speaker 6: of course, provides the drama to the launch. Four people 220 00:12:33,253 --> 00:12:36,333 Speaker 6: at the tip of that rocket being blasted into space. 221 00:12:36,773 --> 00:12:39,693 Speaker 6: Not only did I fear for them, my heart went 222 00:12:39,733 --> 00:12:43,573 Speaker 6: out to the families of the astronauts presumably watching live, 223 00:12:43,733 --> 00:12:47,573 Speaker 6: though I think probably a few not I'd hate to 224 00:12:47,693 --> 00:12:51,133 Speaker 6: watch any of my family being blasted into space too 225 00:12:51,253 --> 00:12:54,333 Speaker 6: damn risky. And if I were offered the opportunity to 226 00:12:54,453 --> 00:12:58,493 Speaker 6: join the astronauts as an observer, I would decline. 227 00:12:58,773 --> 00:13:00,813 Speaker 5: I suspect Jack, you may. 228 00:13:00,853 --> 00:13:04,613 Speaker 6: Differ in that regard, or having a baby made you 229 00:13:04,733 --> 00:13:05,493 Speaker 6: more cautious. 230 00:13:06,493 --> 00:13:06,773 Speaker 7: Do you know? 231 00:13:07,093 --> 00:13:09,813 Speaker 3: I would love to do it. If I didn't have 232 00:13:09,893 --> 00:13:12,853 Speaker 3: a young family, I would leap at the opportunity. But 233 00:13:12,973 --> 00:13:15,973 Speaker 3: I don't think I could do it something like Artemis 234 00:13:15,973 --> 00:13:18,693 Speaker 3: and good Faith, knowing that they were all sitting there 235 00:13:18,733 --> 00:13:21,093 Speaker 3: on planet Earth looking up at me holding their breath. 236 00:13:21,173 --> 00:13:23,453 Speaker 3: I don't think I could put them through it. Maybe 237 00:13:23,533 --> 00:13:24,853 Speaker 3: when my son's a little bit older. 238 00:13:26,693 --> 00:13:26,933 Speaker 4: Yeah. 239 00:13:27,133 --> 00:13:30,573 Speaker 6: Yeah, Because I wouldn't do it myself doesn't mean I 240 00:13:30,573 --> 00:13:33,453 Speaker 6: didn't sit back and watch that launch with huge respect 241 00:13:33,493 --> 00:13:36,373 Speaker 6: for the astronauts. I guess they see the Jenny as 242 00:13:36,373 --> 00:13:40,253 Speaker 6: a sort of freakish opportunity, really but an odd thing. 243 00:13:40,733 --> 00:13:44,733 Speaker 6: I was in full mouth, wide open or thirty seconds 244 00:13:44,773 --> 00:13:48,853 Speaker 6: after the launch, the commentator told us Humanity's next great 245 00:13:48,973 --> 00:13:53,133 Speaker 6: voyage has begun, and then added Ademus two is three 246 00:13:53,173 --> 00:13:56,453 Speaker 6: miles high and traveling at twelve hundred miles an hour. 247 00:13:56,853 --> 00:13:59,133 Speaker 6: My son, Jake looked at me and said, haven't you 248 00:13:59,253 --> 00:14:03,453 Speaker 6: gone faster than that? And I had a board concord. 249 00:14:03,813 --> 00:14:07,333 Speaker 6: Concord flies at thirteen hundred and fifty an hour and 250 00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:11,373 Speaker 6: eleven miles high. But of course there's no comparison. I 251 00:14:11,453 --> 00:14:14,853 Speaker 6: was flying not up and down, but across, and I 252 00:14:14,933 --> 00:14:18,333 Speaker 6: am sure as hell was not sitting atop a frightening 253 00:14:18,453 --> 00:14:24,293 Speaker 6: flare of combusted rocket propellant. Besides, Adamus too, was just 254 00:14:24,413 --> 00:14:28,333 Speaker 6: warming up. Really, I have gone faster than that, Jacob 255 00:14:28,413 --> 00:14:32,053 Speaker 6: said to him, and I left it at that. Jacket's 256 00:14:32,053 --> 00:14:37,693 Speaker 6: important for sons to think their fathers are heroes. 257 00:14:38,493 --> 00:14:41,493 Speaker 3: This is nothing, you said, This is rocket change, This 258 00:14:41,613 --> 00:14:45,413 Speaker 3: is call us an adventure. Yeah, do you know what? 259 00:14:45,733 --> 00:14:47,973 Speaker 3: You know what I thought as I as I watched 260 00:14:47,973 --> 00:14:50,773 Speaker 3: it blast off into space. In my gosh, it was spectacular, 261 00:14:50,853 --> 00:14:51,693 Speaker 3: wasn't that you know what? I thought? 262 00:14:51,733 --> 00:14:51,973 Speaker 5: Yeah? 263 00:14:52,773 --> 00:14:55,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought. I thought that that these are the 264 00:14:55,693 --> 00:14:59,293 Speaker 3: actions of an organization who bought their fuel before the 265 00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:00,413 Speaker 3: straits of hor Moos. 266 00:15:00,933 --> 00:15:03,613 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes. 267 00:15:03,773 --> 00:15:07,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. It really is something. It'll be amazing 268 00:15:07,293 --> 00:15:08,893 Speaker 3: to see. I'm really looking forward to some of the 269 00:15:08,973 --> 00:15:11,493 Speaker 3: images that come back. Already, they've released a couple of 270 00:15:11,493 --> 00:15:16,493 Speaker 3: overnight of images overnight, because very rarely do we see 271 00:15:16,493 --> 00:15:22,093 Speaker 3: the Earth from a distance beyond the International Space Station. 272 00:15:22,373 --> 00:15:25,813 Speaker 3: It's not very often these days that spacecraft go beyond 273 00:15:25,813 --> 00:15:28,053 Speaker 3: the International Space Station. And the thing about the International 274 00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:31,653 Speaker 3: Space Station is it's still so close that you can't 275 00:15:31,693 --> 00:15:34,013 Speaker 3: see the whole of the Earth and frame, you know 276 00:15:34,053 --> 00:15:36,693 Speaker 3: what I mean. So you have to travel further away 277 00:15:36,693 --> 00:15:38,373 Speaker 3: from the Earth to actually be able to see it 278 00:15:38,413 --> 00:15:40,893 Speaker 3: in the kind of context of space. And so they 279 00:15:40,973 --> 00:15:44,293 Speaker 3: sent the first images from Artemis to last night, showing 280 00:15:44,453 --> 00:15:48,493 Speaker 3: the Earth in space as a full sphere. And yeah, 281 00:15:48,533 --> 00:15:51,573 Speaker 3: it's just I mean, I just imagined that those astronauts 282 00:15:51,573 --> 00:15:53,493 Speaker 3: are just sitting there the whole time, just staring out 283 00:15:53,493 --> 00:15:55,493 Speaker 3: the window all day. Imagine trying to go to sleep 284 00:15:55,693 --> 00:15:57,613 Speaker 3: knowing that it was there. It would just be, yeah, 285 00:15:57,813 --> 00:16:00,733 Speaker 3: one amazing thing. So I'm looking forward to it watching 286 00:16:00,773 --> 00:16:02,253 Speaker 3: it over the next couple of days, like you are. 287 00:16:02,973 --> 00:16:04,733 Speaker 4: Yeah, very much, very good. 288 00:16:04,813 --> 00:16:07,213 Speaker 3: All right, Hey, have a great easter again, Kevin. We 289 00:16:07,253 --> 00:16:09,453 Speaker 3: will catch you again very soon. I'll get tomorrow your feedback. 290 00:16:09,453 --> 00:16:11,373 Speaker 3: In a couple of minutes. Our Sporto will be in 291 00:16:11,413 --> 00:16:14,013 Speaker 3: as well. Twenty five minutes past nine with Jack tame 292 00:16:14,053 --> 00:16:14,853 Speaker 3: on Newstalk's he'd be. 293 00:16:18,653 --> 00:16:20,293 Speaker 4: Getting your weekends started. 294 00:16:20,493 --> 00:16:24,413 Speaker 1: It's Saturday morning with Jack Team on newstalks. 295 00:16:23,933 --> 00:16:26,613 Speaker 3: 'b twenty eight minutes past nine on news Doalks, he'd 296 00:16:26,613 --> 00:16:28,853 Speaker 3: be thank you for your messages this morning, get a Jack. Yes, 297 00:16:28,933 --> 00:16:31,133 Speaker 3: New Zealand really does have some of the best forests 298 00:16:31,173 --> 00:16:33,973 Speaker 3: and mountains anywhere on the planet. I wish I could 299 00:16:34,013 --> 00:16:36,293 Speaker 3: get out there a bit more. Age does restrict me somewhat, 300 00:16:36,373 --> 00:16:38,693 Speaker 3: but I totally agree with your sentiment ninety two ninety 301 00:16:38,693 --> 00:16:40,773 Speaker 3: two if you want to flick us a little text 302 00:16:40,773 --> 00:16:43,373 Speaker 3: message this Easter weekend, time to catch up with our 303 00:16:43,413 --> 00:16:46,253 Speaker 3: sporto Andrew Saville. And how about that for a farewell 304 00:16:46,613 --> 00:16:49,853 Speaker 3: at a polo stadium last night, My goodness, the Crusaders 305 00:16:50,133 --> 00:16:54,413 Speaker 3: over the Druer, and a couple of performances in particular 306 00:16:54,453 --> 00:16:55,373 Speaker 3: stood out. It's fair to. 307 00:16:55,333 --> 00:16:59,533 Speaker 8: Say Cody Taylor, Yes, good morning, Jack. Cody Taylor's won fiftieth. 308 00:16:59,773 --> 00:17:00,573 Speaker 5: I think he scored. 309 00:17:01,253 --> 00:17:03,613 Speaker 8: He scored three tries and I think he scored his 310 00:17:03,693 --> 00:17:07,373 Speaker 8: fiftieth plus. So what a great night for Cody Taylor 311 00:17:07,413 --> 00:17:10,053 Speaker 8: and the Crusaders. Look, they're always going to beat the drawer. 312 00:17:11,253 --> 00:17:14,453 Speaker 8: They were hot favorites, but to put sixty points on 313 00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:18,093 Speaker 8: them I thought was very strong. If at Jack a 314 00:17:18,573 --> 00:17:23,613 Speaker 8: great crowd to send off the old Scaffold Stadium. 315 00:17:24,773 --> 00:17:27,933 Speaker 3: Been here a few times but four tries? 316 00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:30,533 Speaker 8: Was it fifty fifty one two three? 317 00:17:30,653 --> 00:17:30,893 Speaker 5: Yeah? 318 00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:33,813 Speaker 3: Yeah, anyway, been here. 319 00:17:33,693 --> 00:17:36,413 Speaker 8: A few times, especially for all Black Tests in the 320 00:17:36,453 --> 00:17:40,373 Speaker 8: middle of winter at night, and it is a very 321 00:17:40,453 --> 00:17:44,773 Speaker 8: tough watch at that venue. The easterly often cuts you 322 00:17:44,813 --> 00:17:48,973 Speaker 8: in half freezing cold. So I think the fans who 323 00:17:49,093 --> 00:17:53,413 Speaker 8: turned up there for the Crusaders championship winning seasons and 324 00:17:53,733 --> 00:17:56,053 Speaker 8: other matches need a huge pat on the back. 325 00:17:56,373 --> 00:17:56,733 Speaker 4: That's it. 326 00:17:56,773 --> 00:17:59,253 Speaker 8: That's a that's a tough watch at a ground like that, 327 00:17:59,293 --> 00:18:03,173 Speaker 8: and you're paying to watch as well. So it'll be 328 00:18:03,213 --> 00:18:05,253 Speaker 8: fantastic once they get into their new venue, which of 329 00:18:05,293 --> 00:18:08,853 Speaker 8: course has a roof and his ed and it's covered 330 00:18:08,853 --> 00:18:12,733 Speaker 8: from the elements. But no, a good farewell, A farewell 331 00:18:12,773 --> 00:18:14,973 Speaker 8: for a ground that you know well and truly served 332 00:18:15,013 --> 00:18:19,453 Speaker 8: its purpose years ago. Just such a shame. It's taken 333 00:18:19,533 --> 00:18:21,933 Speaker 8: so long, and the Crusaders have had players come and 334 00:18:21,933 --> 00:18:24,453 Speaker 8: go and coaches come and go over that period and 335 00:18:24,533 --> 00:18:27,133 Speaker 8: are finally getting into a new venue after all these years. 336 00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:28,373 Speaker 8: As a champion winning team. 337 00:18:28,773 --> 00:18:32,133 Speaker 3: Yeah right, so we've got Chiefs Tars the scene, Chiefs. 338 00:18:31,853 --> 00:18:36,093 Speaker 8: Tars Tonight, Hamilton. Only three games this weekend and super right, 339 00:18:36,093 --> 00:18:41,333 Speaker 8: be weird, weird, weird situation, odd marketing ploy. If it 340 00:18:41,533 --> 00:18:46,693 Speaker 8: was three five teams overall have the buy movie home. 341 00:18:48,453 --> 00:18:51,093 Speaker 8: I'm thinking, well, maybe there's a captive audience over Easter. 342 00:18:51,373 --> 00:18:54,573 Speaker 8: Possibly probably have a few more games, which the NRL 343 00:18:54,693 --> 00:18:58,213 Speaker 8: is doing. They had a Thursday night game, two games yesterday, 344 00:18:58,253 --> 00:19:01,973 Speaker 8: two games today Tomorrow, one game Monday, so they've they've 345 00:19:02,013 --> 00:19:05,933 Speaker 8: flooded the market. Now, if you want to see a 346 00:19:06,013 --> 00:19:10,053 Speaker 8: sport team at its absolute peak, take a look at 347 00:19:10,053 --> 00:19:14,733 Speaker 8: the Penrith Panthers. Last night. They put fifty points. Fifty 348 00:19:15,053 --> 00:19:19,133 Speaker 8: points on the Melbourne Storm, who are perennial, if not champions, 349 00:19:19,133 --> 00:19:21,533 Speaker 8: they Grand finalists or at least they make the top 350 00:19:21,773 --> 00:19:25,173 Speaker 8: two or four teams in the RL. Fifty points on 351 00:19:25,213 --> 00:19:28,533 Speaker 8: the Storm and they look absolutely unstoppable. The Warriors have 352 00:19:28,653 --> 00:19:33,213 Speaker 8: them coming up somewhere on the horizon. The Warriors take 353 00:19:33,253 --> 00:19:36,373 Speaker 8: on the Sharks over in Sydney. That's going to be 354 00:19:36,973 --> 00:19:39,973 Speaker 8: a tough assignment for them. But this Penrith Panthers team 355 00:19:40,053 --> 00:19:42,813 Speaker 8: under Ivan Cleary and Nathan Cleary dree was something too. 356 00:19:44,133 --> 00:19:45,933 Speaker 3: Ye, Hey, what do you make of that? Speaking of 357 00:19:46,013 --> 00:19:48,333 Speaker 3: something to behold? What do you make of a this week? 358 00:19:48,973 --> 00:19:52,053 Speaker 8: That was just staggering. I've seen some seen some great 359 00:19:52,053 --> 00:19:55,573 Speaker 8: innings means and women's cricket over the years, but when 360 00:19:55,653 --> 00:19:58,293 Speaker 8: you not only look at the innings and how she 361 00:19:58,413 --> 00:20:00,813 Speaker 8: scored and how she took a part in South African attack, 362 00:20:01,413 --> 00:20:03,773 Speaker 8: but the fact that the Black the White Ferns are 363 00:20:03,813 --> 00:20:07,733 Speaker 8: chasing nearly three hundred and fifty d in a one 364 00:20:07,813 --> 00:20:12,293 Speaker 8: day match and she never flinched. Other other batters at 365 00:20:12,293 --> 00:20:13,853 Speaker 8: the other end were coming and going. 366 00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:15,093 Speaker 5: She carried on. 367 00:20:15,333 --> 00:20:17,973 Speaker 8: She carried that team pretty much through that whole winnings. 368 00:20:18,973 --> 00:20:22,693 Speaker 8: To have that mental stress of trying to win the 369 00:20:22,773 --> 00:20:26,693 Speaker 8: game as well as score runs yourself and pretty much 370 00:20:26,693 --> 00:20:30,453 Speaker 8: do the job by yourself, it proves that she's a 371 00:20:30,653 --> 00:20:33,653 Speaker 8: one tough critter, right, Yeah, it was. It was a 372 00:20:33,693 --> 00:20:37,173 Speaker 8: fantastic innings. She Since she's taken on the captaincy, I 373 00:20:37,173 --> 00:20:39,573 Speaker 8: think she's got even better, which is which doesn't happen 374 00:20:39,573 --> 00:20:44,653 Speaker 8: often to players across sport. And the concern though Jack 375 00:20:44,773 --> 00:20:46,933 Speaker 8: is in the future that she's going to be the 376 00:20:47,053 --> 00:20:49,653 Speaker 8: team or the player in the team and is that 377 00:20:49,733 --> 00:20:59,013 Speaker 8: going to have to carry this team reasonably often? Yeah, yep, crazy. 378 00:20:59,173 --> 00:21:01,293 Speaker 8: So yeah, came burst onto the scene very very young. 379 00:21:01,933 --> 00:21:04,213 Speaker 8: But you know, let's let's hope in the coming years 380 00:21:04,293 --> 00:21:08,173 Speaker 8: she has tons of support around her and doesn't have 381 00:21:08,213 --> 00:21:09,773 Speaker 8: to take on too much of the low But yeah, 382 00:21:09,773 --> 00:21:11,853 Speaker 8: I thought that was a great thing the other day. 383 00:21:11,213 --> 00:21:16,893 Speaker 3: And hey, so where do you land Easter Sunday morning? 384 00:21:17,293 --> 00:21:19,053 Speaker 3: Do we start off at the hot cross buns and 385 00:21:19,293 --> 00:21:20,373 Speaker 3: we are the truckolate? 386 00:21:20,373 --> 00:21:20,853 Speaker 4: He exits. 387 00:21:20,853 --> 00:21:24,373 Speaker 8: Well, mate, don't even I'm trying. Marshmallow is my enemy. 388 00:21:24,413 --> 00:21:28,093 Speaker 8: I've been chanting that all weekend. I don't even want 389 00:21:28,133 --> 00:21:33,373 Speaker 8: to think about it.

We'd better have a listen. This 420 00:23:10,013 --> 00:23:12,133 Speaker 3: is the drama. 421 00:23:12,973 --> 00:23:15,213 Speaker 9: So before we got married, we did this thing, or 422 00:23:15,213 --> 00:23:16,893 Speaker 9: we said the worst thing we've ever done. 423 00:23:17,133 --> 00:23:19,613 Speaker 3: I'll tell mine if we all do it, promise what 424 00:23:19,733 --> 00:23:21,373 Speaker 3: did you do? 425 00:23:20,933 --> 00:23:20,973 Speaker 8: This? 426 00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:25,053 Speaker 4: Beer bottles and porn left a nerve? 427 00:23:25,173 --> 00:23:25,253 Speaker 10: Na? 428 00:23:25,733 --> 00:23:25,933 Speaker 7: Yeah? 429 00:23:27,213 --> 00:23:27,413 Speaker 4: Done? 430 00:23:29,373 --> 00:23:30,773 Speaker 11: Okay? 431 00:23:29,973 --> 00:23:34,133 Speaker 4: I are you serious? Dan? 432 00:23:34,373 --> 00:23:34,653 Speaker 3: Dun? 433 00:23:34,813 --> 00:23:35,053 Speaker 8: Dan? 434 00:23:35,413 --> 00:23:39,133 Speaker 3: I mean that is a tantalizing little Traylor, is it not? 435 00:23:39,773 --> 00:23:42,653 Speaker 11: And I'm not gonna I'm not going to tell you anything. 436 00:23:42,813 --> 00:23:44,733 Speaker 3: I was going to say, don't you dare. 437 00:23:45,013 --> 00:23:49,333 Speaker 11: Is because actually you want to try and work through 438 00:23:49,373 --> 00:23:53,093 Speaker 11: it with the characters as they're trying to work through it. 439 00:23:53,573 --> 00:23:56,053 Speaker 11: That's sort of the fun of this film. Sindia and 440 00:23:56,373 --> 00:23:59,653 Speaker 11: Robert Pattinson are really good together. I kind of couldn't 441 00:23:59,693 --> 00:24:02,613 Speaker 11: quite picture it, but they're really delightful. They've got this 442 00:24:02,893 --> 00:24:05,933 Speaker 11: very natural chemistry. This is the first time they've worked together, 443 00:24:05,973 --> 00:24:08,613 Speaker 11: but they're actually in three films together this year. They're 444 00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:12,773 Speaker 11: also in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and also Dune Part three, 445 00:24:12,813 --> 00:24:15,093 Speaker 11: which is out at the end of the year, so 446 00:24:15,133 --> 00:24:17,613 Speaker 11: they're really really love it together. Look this film, it 447 00:24:17,853 --> 00:24:22,013 Speaker 11: starts out as laugh out loud, funny and as it progresses, 448 00:24:22,093 --> 00:24:26,293 Speaker 11: it shifts to sort of a more cringe worthy, uncomfortable funny. 449 00:24:26,813 --> 00:24:30,373 Speaker 11: So they play these two characters, Emma and Charlie, and 450 00:24:30,493 --> 00:24:33,053 Speaker 11: it is the week of their wedding. They're just finalizing 451 00:24:33,053 --> 00:24:37,173 Speaker 11: the preparations, getting things sorted. I really liked the pacing 452 00:24:37,213 --> 00:24:40,093 Speaker 11: of this film. They kind of, you know, as they're 453 00:24:40,093 --> 00:24:43,013 Speaker 11: writing speeches, we have little sort of flashbacks to how 454 00:24:43,053 --> 00:24:44,973 Speaker 11: they met, so we get to know them. But it's 455 00:24:45,013 --> 00:24:47,533 Speaker 11: sharp and it's snappy, and we kind of get to 456 00:24:47,573 --> 00:24:50,053 Speaker 11: the point, which is this evening they have with their 457 00:24:51,173 --> 00:24:53,213 Speaker 11: some friends of theirs, this married couple, where they all 458 00:24:53,253 --> 00:24:55,813 Speaker 11: talk about the worst thing that they've done. And a 459 00:24:55,853 --> 00:24:57,813 Speaker 11: couple of them have done some quite bad things, but 460 00:24:58,013 --> 00:25:02,253 Speaker 11: nothing compared to what Zendea's character Emma kind of accidentally 461 00:25:02,453 --> 00:25:03,533 Speaker 11: drops on the table. 462 00:25:03,653 --> 00:25:04,453 Speaker 7: She'd had a few. 463 00:25:04,253 --> 00:25:07,293 Speaker 11: Wines and she admits to this thing, and it really 464 00:25:07,333 --> 00:25:13,973 Speaker 11: just changes everything, and it's very hard to everything from 465 00:25:13,973 --> 00:25:16,213 Speaker 11: every comment she makes to every action she does. You 466 00:25:16,293 --> 00:25:19,253 Speaker 11: now see her in a completely new context. And of 467 00:25:19,333 --> 00:25:23,613 Speaker 11: course Robert Pattinson's Charlotte character, Charlie has to work out 468 00:25:23,653 --> 00:25:26,813 Speaker 11: with actually, you know, do I know this person? Do 469 00:25:26,893 --> 00:25:28,933 Speaker 11: I al really want to marry this person. Do I 470 00:25:28,973 --> 00:25:31,693 Speaker 11: want to spend the rest of my life with this person? Also, 471 00:25:32,093 --> 00:25:34,653 Speaker 11: so it really looks at relationships. It looks at how 472 00:25:34,773 --> 00:25:37,693 Speaker 11: much you know, is love enough to kind of overcome 473 00:25:37,733 --> 00:25:40,493 Speaker 11: an obstacle and to forgive someone. And it also looks 474 00:25:40,533 --> 00:25:43,173 Speaker 11: at empathy and how much empathy we can have for 475 00:25:43,293 --> 00:25:46,573 Speaker 11: someone who might have made a mistake or almost made 476 00:25:46,573 --> 00:25:48,893 Speaker 11: a mistake, and how we can kind of see through 477 00:25:48,933 --> 00:25:51,973 Speaker 11: it. It's really look it's snappy, it's really clever, as I say, 478 00:25:52,573 --> 00:25:54,813 Speaker 11: life out loud, funny. At the beginning, I was really 479 00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:57,533 Speaker 11: enjoying it. Then it does get quite uncomfortable as the 480 00:25:57,573 --> 00:25:59,813 Speaker 11: intensity builds and we heap get to the wedding and 481 00:25:59,853 --> 00:26:02,093 Speaker 11: it all kind of falls up. I spent a bit 482 00:26:02,133 --> 00:26:05,693 Speaker 11: of time wondering how else they might have resolved this film, 483 00:26:05,733 --> 00:26:08,973 Speaker 11: because the question composed and it is quite hard to resolve. 484 00:26:09,573 --> 00:26:11,653 Speaker 11: And I think they've left it. I think they've done 485 00:26:11,653 --> 00:26:13,813 Speaker 11: a nice job of it and leaving it maybe in 486 00:26:13,853 --> 00:26:15,413 Speaker 11: a way that you can. 487 00:26:15,413 --> 00:26:16,133 Speaker 5: Use your own. 488 00:26:17,213 --> 00:26:19,453 Speaker 11: It's a little bit ambiguous. You could maybe decide for 489 00:26:19,533 --> 00:26:21,893 Speaker 11: yourself how you would like things to kind of pan out. 490 00:26:21,933 --> 00:26:24,213 Speaker 11: But no, it's it's really great. It's a bit different. 491 00:26:24,253 --> 00:26:26,373 Speaker 11: I mean, it's a it's a rom com and it's 492 00:26:26,413 --> 00:26:29,733 Speaker 11: a drama ed and it's a dark black comedy. It's 493 00:26:29,773 --> 00:26:32,733 Speaker 11: a psychological sort of thriller at the same time, it's 494 00:26:32,733 --> 00:26:34,933 Speaker 11: a little bit of everything. No, really clever thought it 495 00:26:34,973 --> 00:26:35,253 Speaker 11: was great. 496 00:26:35,293 --> 00:26:37,333 Speaker 3: Okay, it sounds really good. I was gonna say it 497 00:26:37,333 --> 00:26:41,653 Speaker 3: does sound dark without having it feels like there's a 498 00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:42,653 Speaker 3: dark secret here. 499 00:26:43,093 --> 00:26:46,693 Speaker 11: Absolutely, And there is some controversy around it because the 500 00:26:46,893 --> 00:26:50,333 Speaker 11: secret is something which people don't really feel should be 501 00:26:50,333 --> 00:26:53,093 Speaker 11: a gimmick in a romantic comedy. But I think it's 502 00:26:53,173 --> 00:26:56,093 Speaker 11: dealt with in a manner that we all understand the 503 00:26:56,173 --> 00:26:59,013 Speaker 11: seriousness of it. So there is a bit of controversy 504 00:26:59,053 --> 00:26:59,493 Speaker 11: around it. 505 00:27:00,853 --> 00:27:02,613 Speaker 3: Even the way you've talked about it just makes me 506 00:27:02,653 --> 00:27:05,733 Speaker 3: so intrigue. Now, I know, I know. It's everything I 507 00:27:05,773 --> 00:27:07,373 Speaker 3: can do not to go and google it. I'm not 508 00:27:07,413 --> 00:27:10,893 Speaker 3: going to, but you know what I mean, like, no, no, 509 00:27:10,933 --> 00:27:12,653 Speaker 3: I won't, I won't won't anything. 510 00:27:12,733 --> 00:27:15,213 Speaker 11: And it's my advice to listeners as well, do not 511 00:27:15,253 --> 00:27:16,253 Speaker 11: read anything more about this. 512 00:27:16,533 --> 00:27:17,653 Speaker 4: Just yeah, you know. 513 00:27:17,933 --> 00:27:21,213 Speaker 3: It's great, Yeah, don't check it out. Very good Okay, cool. 514 00:27:21,253 --> 00:27:23,853 Speaker 3: So that is the drama that is showing in Cinemas 515 00:27:23,853 --> 00:27:27,213 Speaker 3: at the Moment, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya. Next up, 516 00:27:27,253 --> 00:27:29,853 Speaker 3: let's have a listened to a film streaming on Disney Plus. 517 00:27:29,893 --> 00:27:32,173 Speaker 3: This is Mike, Nick, Nick and Alice. 518 00:27:35,413 --> 00:27:38,253 Speaker 5: I'm you, but I'm from the future. They came back 519 00:27:38,333 --> 00:27:42,493 Speaker 5: and a time machine. Certainly and I understand, obviously. 520 00:27:46,253 --> 00:27:48,133 Speaker 3: Okay, this is a little bit different. 521 00:27:49,813 --> 00:27:52,613 Speaker 11: This is a film that really shouldn't work on paper, 522 00:27:52,693 --> 00:27:55,213 Speaker 11: and look, it probably only just works on screen thanks 523 00:27:55,213 --> 00:27:58,013 Speaker 11: to the charisma of its stars. It's a gangster flick. 524 00:27:58,253 --> 00:28:00,133 Speaker 11: I think it's sort of set around the nineteen nineties, 525 00:28:00,653 --> 00:28:04,773 Speaker 11: but it's also it's also a sci fi film that 526 00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:08,213 Speaker 11: involves time travel, and it's a comedy, and it's an 527 00:28:08,213 --> 00:28:11,533 Speaker 11: action film, and it's a little bit nuts. So we 528 00:28:11,613 --> 00:28:15,133 Speaker 11: follow a couple of hitmen. Turns out one of them, 529 00:28:15,333 --> 00:28:18,533 Speaker 11: Mike played by James Marsden, is having an affair with 530 00:28:18,613 --> 00:28:21,693 Speaker 11: his partner, Nick's wife, Nick is played by Vince Vaughn. 531 00:28:22,173 --> 00:28:25,013 Speaker 11: He's having an affair with his wife Alice played by 532 00:28:25,173 --> 00:28:31,213 Speaker 11: Isaa Gonzales. Now the Boys Boss, sort of mafia like boss. 533 00:28:31,293 --> 00:28:33,493 Speaker 11: He is celebrating the release of his son from prison, 534 00:28:33,533 --> 00:28:35,813 Speaker 11: and to celebrate he's decided he is going to take 535 00:28:35,853 --> 00:28:38,253 Speaker 11: out the person who sent his son to prison, and 536 00:28:38,293 --> 00:28:40,853 Speaker 11: it turns out that Mike is being set up and 537 00:28:40,893 --> 00:28:42,893 Speaker 11: being held responsible for this, so that there is a 538 00:28:42,973 --> 00:28:46,493 Speaker 11: hip man on the way to take out Mike. Nick, though, 539 00:28:46,493 --> 00:28:48,733 Speaker 11: decides to step in and help out. But not just 540 00:28:48,853 --> 00:28:52,253 Speaker 11: one Nick. There are two Nicks. Hence the time travel 541 00:28:52,293 --> 00:28:56,373 Speaker 11: comes into play. It's bonkers, it's really quite it's really 542 00:28:56,453 --> 00:28:59,213 Speaker 11: quite nuts. So there's a lot of Vince Baughn in 543 00:28:59,213 --> 00:29:02,133 Speaker 11: this film. There's two Vince Baorn's. He plays two characters, 544 00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:05,253 Speaker 11: and he is very much playing He's very much acting 545 00:29:05,293 --> 00:29:07,933 Speaker 11: in the way that we always expect him to. It's 546 00:29:08,093 --> 00:29:10,173 Speaker 11: kind of you know, I don't know if you've sick 547 00:29:10,213 --> 00:29:12,453 Speaker 11: got apple, but he's in a show called Bad Monkey, 548 00:29:13,093 --> 00:29:15,293 Speaker 11: and it's the most it's the best performance I've seen 549 00:29:15,293 --> 00:29:17,893 Speaker 11: from him in a long time. His sort of his character, 550 00:29:17,933 --> 00:29:21,173 Speaker 11: in his way of acting, really fitted that that show 551 00:29:21,253 --> 00:29:23,373 Speaker 11: and that character, and he's brilliant this it's just a 552 00:29:23,413 --> 00:29:25,773 Speaker 11: little bit more typical Vince Vaughn having fun in an 553 00:29:25,893 --> 00:29:30,773 Speaker 11: action comedy. But look along with James Marsden and Isaac Gonzalez, 554 00:29:30,813 --> 00:29:33,213 Speaker 11: so the three of them are really fun together. So 555 00:29:33,293 --> 00:29:36,573 Speaker 11: if you want something breezy and easy to watch over Easter, 556 00:29:36,693 --> 00:29:39,253 Speaker 11: and you've got Disney Plus once again. A little bit 557 00:29:39,333 --> 00:29:42,013 Speaker 11: like the previous film I spoke about. It's a real 558 00:29:42,253 --> 00:29:45,453 Speaker 11: mix of genres. It's a romantic comedy, a comedy against 559 00:29:45,453 --> 00:29:47,853 Speaker 11: a film, a crime flip in a time travel film. 560 00:29:48,213 --> 00:29:50,733 Speaker 11: So yeah, have you want something a little fun that's. 561 00:29:50,573 --> 00:29:51,853 Speaker 3: A real trend at the moment. 562 00:29:52,853 --> 00:29:54,293 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, and look if you can, if you can 563 00:29:54,333 --> 00:29:54,693 Speaker 11: do it. 564 00:29:54,613 --> 00:29:58,373 Speaker 3: Well yeah, right for sure. But the kind of mooley 565 00:29:58,413 --> 00:30:01,293 Speaker 3: mash of genres where you're like, oh, it's both like 566 00:30:01,333 --> 00:30:06,093 Speaker 3: a you know, a horror and a seventeenth century period 567 00:30:06,853 --> 00:30:11,013 Speaker 3: drama and uh, you know, like in a children's comedy, 568 00:30:11,173 --> 00:30:16,613 Speaker 3: Like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, it's quite good. 569 00:30:16,773 --> 00:30:19,853 Speaker 3: I like that, you know. I like the filmmakers don't 570 00:30:19,933 --> 00:30:22,333 Speaker 3: necessarily feel pigeonholed. 571 00:30:21,773 --> 00:30:21,973 Speaker 5: You know. 572 00:30:22,373 --> 00:30:24,253 Speaker 3: And maybe it's maybe there's another way to look at it, 573 00:30:24,293 --> 00:30:25,573 Speaker 3: and you could say they're trying to be everything to 574 00:30:25,653 --> 00:30:28,333 Speaker 3: everyone at once, you know, But yeah, I like that 575 00:30:28,373 --> 00:30:30,293 Speaker 3: sounds quite good. I like the sound of it. So 576 00:30:30,373 --> 00:30:33,973 Speaker 3: that is Mike Nick, Nick and Ellis. That's on Disney Plus. 577 00:30:34,053 --> 00:30:37,213 Speaker 3: Francesca's first film for Us, This Morning, is shown in cinemas. 578 00:30:37,653 --> 00:30:41,373 Speaker 3: That's the drama, and honestly, I really think I'm gonna 579 00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,253 Speaker 3: have to go and see that, if only to resolve 580 00:30:43,973 --> 00:30:46,533 Speaker 3: what this big secret might be. I'm going to get 581 00:30:46,533 --> 00:30:48,093 Speaker 3: to more of your feedback in a couple of minutes 582 00:30:48,093 --> 00:30:50,333 Speaker 3: on news talks. Heb right now. It's called it a ten. 583 00:30:51,093 --> 00:30:54,893 Speaker 1: Saturday morning with Jack team keeping the conversation going through 584 00:30:54,933 --> 00:30:56,293 Speaker 1: the weekend US Talks. 585 00:30:56,293 --> 00:30:57,693 Speaker 4: He'd be their. 586 00:30:57,693 --> 00:30:59,733 Speaker 3: Team minutes to ten on News Talks, he'd be Jack 587 00:30:59,813 --> 00:31:02,973 Speaker 3: absolutely loved your description of going tramping and the Cahudangi 588 00:31:03,093 --> 00:31:07,013 Speaker 3: National Park. I have done the heafy I walked from 589 00:31:07,173 --> 00:31:11,093 Speaker 3: the northern end and have to agree with your comments 590 00:31:11,133 --> 00:31:14,213 Speaker 3: regarding the variety of landscapes. Amazing that you can see 591 00:31:14,213 --> 00:31:17,053 Speaker 3: such variety in a relatively small space. Yes, so I 592 00:31:17,053 --> 00:31:20,253 Speaker 3: think the code on you might be our largest national park. 593 00:31:20,293 --> 00:31:22,893 Speaker 3: I think fairly confident is our largest national park in 594 00:31:22,973 --> 00:31:28,373 Speaker 3: terms of actual size, certainly up there. Jack absolutely delighted 595 00:31:28,533 --> 00:31:32,093 Speaker 3: in your story about tramping with your friends.

I think you've hit on something 597 00:31:34,693 --> 00:31:36,973 Speaker 3: when you say that you notice as you get older 598 00:31:37,133 --> 00:31:39,973 Speaker 3: how much more you enjoy the birds, how much you 599 00:31:40,133 --> 00:31:43,813 Speaker 3: enjoy things like the old gold mining equipment. I think 600 00:31:43,853 --> 00:31:47,973 Speaker 3: it's an antidote to this fast paced world social media, etc. 601 00:31:48,493 --> 00:31:51,653 Speaker 3: When you can stop, pause and be reflective. Perhaps that's 602 00:31:51,693 --> 00:31:54,453 Speaker 3: what you're enjoying. I think you're onto something there. Twelve 603 00:31:54,453 --> 00:31:56,773 Speaker 3: minutes to ten, Nicky Wicks Cook is here with a 604 00:31:56,853 --> 00:32:00,653 Speaker 3: fantastic sounding Easter treat for us this morning Kelder Nikki. 605 00:32:01,133 --> 00:32:01,973 Speaker 8: Killed a Jack. 606 00:32:02,133 --> 00:32:06,893 Speaker 12: I also loved listening to that tramping story because I 607 00:32:06,933 --> 00:32:09,733 Speaker 12: didn't enjoy the route boot quite as much Time made 608 00:32:09,773 --> 00:32:14,253 Speaker 12: it sound. I mean, I you know, it feels as 609 00:32:14,253 --> 00:32:17,173 Speaker 12: though it's a childbirth story for me, where it's getting 610 00:32:17,213 --> 00:32:21,253 Speaker 12: better the longer the longer that the longer the time 611 00:32:21,333 --> 00:32:25,133 Speaker 12: goes between having done the tramp. But honestly, that was hard, 612 00:32:25,293 --> 00:32:27,373 Speaker 12: and I remember we talked about it before I went, 613 00:32:28,493 --> 00:32:31,213 Speaker 12: but it was hard work for me. It was hard yacker. 614 00:32:31,773 --> 00:32:34,573 Speaker 12: But the pride is starting to overcome the shop. 615 00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:35,973 Speaker 5: I actually had to do that. 616 00:32:36,573 --> 00:32:38,893 Speaker 3: See, I think that's for me too.

That's what she said. Probably that's 622 00:32:51,733 --> 00:32:52,453 Speaker 3: probably true. 623 00:32:52,453 --> 00:32:54,293 Speaker 11: Your wife is probably right about that. 624 00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:56,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, this sort of something I'm like, is it a 625 00:32:56,613 --> 00:32:58,013 Speaker 3: good thing or a bad thing? 626 00:32:58,333 --> 00:32:58,533 Speaker 5: Yeah? 627 00:32:59,493 --> 00:33:02,093 Speaker 12: All right, well I'll I'll start pegging back my eye. 628 00:33:02,133 --> 00:33:04,253 Speaker 12: Will I never need to go that far into the 629 00:33:04,253 --> 00:33:07,333 Speaker 12: wilderness again, exactly story, And I'll start pigging that back 630 00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:10,853 Speaker 12: because you made it sound so glorious and so romantic. 631 00:33:11,213 --> 00:33:13,773 Speaker 12: And yes I did have all those feelings, but I 632 00:33:13,773 --> 00:33:15,493 Speaker 12: didn't know them at the time because I was just. 633 00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:17,293 Speaker 5: So so exhausted. 634 00:33:16,773 --> 00:33:18,053 Speaker 3: Because focused on the page. 635 00:33:18,053 --> 00:33:21,893 Speaker 12: Anyway, Yeah, yeah, yes, it is a mind game.

Half a cup of chopped dried apricots 670 00:34:46,173 --> 00:34:47,973 Speaker 12: you could use some other you know, you could use 671 00:34:47,973 --> 00:34:50,933 Speaker 12: figs if you want it, or even prunes, and then 672 00:34:51,013 --> 00:34:55,053 Speaker 12: one cup of chopped marshmallow eggs or marshmallows, either one 673 00:34:55,133 --> 00:34:58,333 Speaker 12: in there, and I just you know, mix all of 674 00:34:58,373 --> 00:35:01,213 Speaker 12: that together and scrape that into your dish, smooth the 675 00:35:01,253 --> 00:35:03,093 Speaker 12: top as much as you can.

Chill it 680 00:35:14,653 --> 00:35:16,773 Speaker 12: for sort of two to three hours or overnight until 681 00:35:16,773 --> 00:35:20,053 Speaker 12: it's set, cut it into squares, and it's just divine. 682 00:35:20,253 --> 00:35:22,173 Speaker 12: It is so good because you get to use good 683 00:35:22,253 --> 00:35:25,453 Speaker 12: quality chocolate in this were sometimes our Easter eggs are 684 00:35:25,533 --> 00:35:29,253 Speaker 12: not the best quality. And yeah, so this is great 685 00:35:29,253 --> 00:35:31,093 Speaker 12: easter Rocky Road and the other one. If you can't 686 00:35:31,093 --> 00:35:33,373 Speaker 12: be bothered doing any of that, go and buy yourself 687 00:35:33,373 --> 00:35:37,213 Speaker 12: one of those long sort of cellophane I think there 688 00:35:37,213 --> 00:35:39,653 Speaker 12: are six marshmallow eggs, and then there are they only 689 00:35:39,693 --> 00:35:41,973 Speaker 12: do a half egg. Now even Jacket's so disgusting. They 690 00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:44,013 Speaker 12: don't even join the dew together. But pop them in 691 00:35:44,013 --> 00:35:46,373 Speaker 12: the freezer. Do yourself a treat. Prop them in the freezer, 692 00:35:46,533 --> 00:35:49,573 Speaker 12: and then eat them frozen. Oh my goodness, you cannot 693 00:35:49,573 --> 00:35:50,453 Speaker 12: believe how good they are. 694 00:35:50,573 --> 00:35:52,013 Speaker 3: So the marshmallow ones you. 695 00:35:55,293 --> 00:35:56,693 Speaker 12: Like, yeah, you put them in. You put them in 696 00:35:56,693 --> 00:35:59,213 Speaker 12: the freezer, and honestly, the chocolate then cracks as you 697 00:35:59,293 --> 00:36:03,093 Speaker 12: crunch into it. Marshmallow never quite freezes all the way through, 698 00:36:03,413 --> 00:36:06,893 Speaker 12: so it's sort of chewy. Oh so much than having 699 00:36:06,893 --> 00:36:07,333 Speaker 12: them fresh. 700 00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:10,613 Speaker 3: So that I mean, this is shocking to me that 701 00:36:10,653 --> 00:36:12,573 Speaker 3: you've got a chocolate eating tip that I wasn't already 702 00:36:12,573 --> 00:36:16,693 Speaker 3: a weary This is a great information, okay, yeah yeah, 703 00:36:16,733 --> 00:36:19,213 Speaker 3: But of experimentation outdoors. 704 00:36:19,253 --> 00:36:21,613 Speaker 12: As you get older, you can enjoy these little tips too. 705 00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,893 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the other thing my wife also says 706 00:36:23,893 --> 00:36:27,253 Speaker 3: that's going tramping is just an excuse to like eat 707 00:36:27,453 --> 00:36:32,013 Speaker 3: copious amounts of pecking mix and lollies and all of that. Yeah. 708 00:36:32,053 --> 00:36:34,573 Speaker 12: Look, I made the mistake of doing that. We talked 709 00:36:34,613 --> 00:36:36,853 Speaker 12: about what food to take and I didn't take the 710 00:36:36,933 --> 00:36:39,253 Speaker 12: right food. I tried to do the trampe stuff plus 711 00:36:39,253 --> 00:36:41,573 Speaker 12: the musley bars and all that, but I don't eat 712 00:36:41,653 --> 00:36:44,133 Speaker 12: stuff like that. So in the car on the way 713 00:36:44,133 --> 00:36:46,213 Speaker 12: back from Glen Orkie, once we'd come out, I said 714 00:36:46,213 --> 00:36:49,213 Speaker 12: to my two vegetarian sisters of my dad, I said, 715 00:36:49,253 --> 00:36:50,533 Speaker 12: next time, you know what I'm going to take. 716 00:36:50,573 --> 00:36:51,573 Speaker 5: I'm going to take a big. 717 00:36:51,413 --> 00:36:54,173 Speaker 12: Slab of bacon and egg pie. And I reckon, that's 718 00:36:54,213 --> 00:36:55,533 Speaker 12: going to last me the whole time. 719 00:36:55,973 --> 00:36:58,613 Speaker 3: I reckon, that's a very good option. Yeah, I reckon. 720 00:36:58,693 --> 00:37:00,413 Speaker 12: Yeah, that in the salami. You put me onto the 721 00:37:00,413 --> 00:37:01,493 Speaker 12: salami and that was great. 722 00:37:01,493 --> 00:37:03,093 Speaker 3: That'll get you through all they need a bit of 723 00:37:03,173 --> 00:37:08,373 Speaker 3: sugary stuff.

I have 769 00:39:49,533 --> 00:39:53,373 Speaker 3: very much enjoyed your contributions to British panel shows over 770 00:39:53,413 --> 00:39:55,893 Speaker 3: the years. I'm a real British panel show geek. So 771 00:39:56,693 --> 00:39:58,453 Speaker 3: it is a delight to know you're coming back to 772 00:39:58,493 --> 00:40:00,693 Speaker 3: New Zealand and you're coming back with a brand new 773 00:40:00,733 --> 00:40:05,173 Speaker 3: show that deconstructs the science of laughter. So tell us 774 00:40:05,213 --> 00:40:05,613 Speaker 3: about that. 775 00:40:06,573 --> 00:40:09,333 Speaker 13: Well, that is an element of the show that's absolutely, 776 00:40:09,333 --> 00:40:14,853 Speaker 13: absolutely true. I was asked in New Zealand good few 777 00:40:14,933 --> 00:40:17,933 Speaker 13: years ago now, so I'm absolutely thrilled to be coming 778 00:40:17,973 --> 00:40:20,813 Speaker 13: back after all this time. I've got friends who live 779 00:40:20,853 --> 00:40:23,293 Speaker 13: in the South Island, a place called Picton. 780 00:40:23,533 --> 00:40:26,413 Speaker 3: Oh very good. It's not my aunt lives in that 781 00:40:26,493 --> 00:40:28,133 Speaker 3: part of the world, so maybe you're bumma to her. 782 00:40:29,133 --> 00:40:31,253 Speaker 5: Maybe I will. There's not many people live there. 783 00:40:32,093 --> 00:40:34,853 Speaker 13: So yeah, the show is called now We're Talking, And 784 00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:36,893 Speaker 13: basically that is one of the elements in the show, 785 00:40:37,093 --> 00:40:39,493 Speaker 13: where I'm talking about what laughter does to our brains 786 00:40:39,493 --> 00:40:42,133 Speaker 13: and our body, how very important it is to have 787 00:40:42,173 --> 00:40:45,613 Speaker 13: people sitting close together at any kind of comedy show 788 00:40:45,893 --> 00:40:46,373 Speaker 13: because we. 789 00:40:46,413 --> 00:40:48,813 Speaker 5: Need you all to be infected with laughter. 790 00:40:49,333 --> 00:40:51,453 Speaker 13: And then I talk about how it's important for us 791 00:40:51,453 --> 00:40:53,813 Speaker 13: to keep talking in a world where there's a lot 792 00:40:53,813 --> 00:40:56,773 Speaker 13: of noise out there and people aren't listing enough. 793 00:40:57,173 --> 00:40:58,533 Speaker 5: So that's the essence of the show. 794 00:40:58,613 --> 00:41:00,213 Speaker 3: I was going to say, the world has changed a lot. 795 00:41:00,293 --> 00:41:01,773 Speaker 3: I looked at up you were last in New Zealand 796 00:41:01,813 --> 00:41:03,893 Speaker 3: and twenty sixteen, so it feels like there's probably a 797 00:41:03,933 --> 00:41:05,973 Speaker 3: fear bit of content that you'll be able to draw upon, 798 00:41:06,093 --> 00:41:09,213 Speaker 3: given the state of the extent to which the world 799 00:41:09,493 --> 00:41:13,093 Speaker 3: has changed in that time. So when I think of laughter, 800 00:41:13,173 --> 00:41:15,573 Speaker 3: I think you hit on a really important point there. 801 00:41:15,973 --> 00:41:19,373 Speaker 3: There's a social component, isn't there. Because if you're watching 802 00:41:19,413 --> 00:41:23,533 Speaker 3: a TV show by yourself, even if it's really funny, 803 00:41:23,573 --> 00:41:25,933 Speaker 3: most of the time you don't laugh. But if you 804 00:41:25,973 --> 00:41:27,973 Speaker 3: have another person sitting next to you on the couch, 805 00:41:28,173 --> 00:41:30,653 Speaker 3: then for some reason you laugh. I don't know why 806 00:41:30,733 --> 00:41:31,853 Speaker 3: is it. 807 00:41:31,853 --> 00:41:37,013 Speaker 13: It's something to do with the human connection, the mirror neuron. 808 00:41:37,173 --> 00:41:40,573 Speaker 13: You see somebody laugh, you laugh. Is a shared experience 809 00:41:40,853 --> 00:41:42,933 Speaker 13: and on your own. I suppose people don't want to 810 00:41:42,933 --> 00:41:45,613 Speaker 13: look odd if they're just sitting behinde themselves and then 811 00:41:45,853 --> 00:41:48,933 Speaker 13: go fororing like a bit of a lunatic. But it 812 00:41:49,053 --> 00:41:51,653 Speaker 13: is good for the soul. I mean, even if you 813 00:41:51,693 --> 00:41:55,253 Speaker 13: just walk down the street and you hear somebody laughing uproariously, 814 00:41:55,453 --> 00:41:57,773 Speaker 13: you've got no idea what they're laughing at. You start 815 00:41:57,853 --> 00:42:00,693 Speaker 13: laughing as well. I mean, that's wonderful. I mean I 816 00:42:00,773 --> 00:42:03,453 Speaker 13: don't remember back in the day, there's be a song 817 00:42:03,533 --> 00:42:09,493 Speaker 13: by the Laughing Policeman which is when and it just 818 00:42:09,533 --> 00:42:12,733 Speaker 13: went on and on, and then suddenly the entire people 819 00:42:12,893 --> 00:42:13,933 Speaker 13: in the room are laughing. 820 00:42:14,373 --> 00:42:15,053 Speaker 5: We don't know why. 821 00:42:15,253 --> 00:42:18,973 Speaker 3: Really, Yeah, I remember seeing an amazing short film once. 822 00:42:19,053 --> 00:42:22,373 Speaker 3: It might have been German or might have been scanning Avy, 823 00:42:22,373 --> 00:42:24,373 Speaker 3: and I can't remember exactly where it was from. And 824 00:42:24,453 --> 00:42:27,173 Speaker 3: it was the simplest concept, but it was beautifully done. 825 00:42:27,173 --> 00:42:30,413 Speaker 3: It was people sitting on a train carriage and one 826 00:42:30,533 --> 00:42:32,613 Speaker 3: person and they're all just sitting there in silence, looking 827 00:42:32,613 --> 00:42:34,133 Speaker 3: at their phones and looking out the window and that 828 00:42:34,213 --> 00:42:37,373 Speaker 3: kind of thing. And then one person just starts sniggering 829 00:42:37,413 --> 00:42:40,133 Speaker 3: a little bit, and then it starts to spread. And 830 00:42:40,253 --> 00:42:44,213 Speaker 3: all this film was was this this scene on a 831 00:42:44,253 --> 00:42:48,613 Speaker 3: train carriage where over three or four minutes, the laughter 832 00:42:48,693 --> 00:42:52,533 Speaker 3: spread throughout the train carriage and it was actually, it 833 00:42:52,573 --> 00:42:54,853 Speaker 3: was actually truly beautiful. It sounds kind of it might 834 00:42:54,893 --> 00:42:57,653 Speaker 3: sound a bit corny the way I'm describing it, but 835 00:42:58,173 --> 00:43:00,613 Speaker 3: you could imagine it happening, right, you could. You know, 836 00:43:01,013 --> 00:43:03,733 Speaker 3: there is something profoundly infectious about it. 837 00:43:04,213 --> 00:43:06,373 Speaker 13: Absolutely, But also in the same way you can imagine 838 00:43:06,413 --> 00:43:09,373 Speaker 13: if someone comes into a room saying a party and 839 00:43:09,413 --> 00:43:14,093 Speaker 13: that person has just brought with them negative energy, You 840 00:43:14,213 --> 00:43:18,653 Speaker 13: feel that as well, somebody grumping, making noises and not 841 00:43:18,773 --> 00:43:21,493 Speaker 13: looking happy, and you avoid eye contact with that person. 842 00:43:21,973 --> 00:43:25,373 Speaker 13: Somebody comes into the room with a cheery disposition. Wow, 843 00:43:25,453 --> 00:43:26,613 Speaker 13: you're drawn to that person. 844 00:43:26,813 --> 00:43:27,293 Speaker 5: It's great. 845 00:43:27,613 --> 00:43:29,653 Speaker 13: And you know it's a cliche, but laughter is the 846 00:43:29,693 --> 00:43:31,373 Speaker 13: best medicine. Yeah, it absolutely is. 847 00:43:31,493 --> 00:43:33,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I totally agree with that. It's the beast medicine. 848 00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:35,973 Speaker 3: And it's the universal language, which I suppose when you're 849 00:43:35,973 --> 00:43:37,933 Speaker 3: making I appreciate it's not the full show, but when 850 00:43:37,973 --> 00:43:40,973 Speaker 3: it's a component on the show, you can be relatively 851 00:43:42,013 --> 00:43:45,213 Speaker 3: assured that there is a subject that is going to 852 00:43:45,653 --> 00:43:48,213 Speaker 3: cross international lines pretty pretty smoothly. 853 00:43:49,613 --> 00:43:51,973 Speaker 13: Well, indeed, it doesn't matter where you are, where you 854 00:43:52,013 --> 00:43:54,173 Speaker 13: come from. If you think about this on a basic 855 00:43:54,253 --> 00:43:58,333 Speaker 13: human level. Babies learn to laugh before they can speak. 856 00:43:58,773 --> 00:44:00,453 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that. 857 00:44:00,813 --> 00:44:04,053 Speaker 13: It's incredible when you just break it right down, that's 858 00:44:04,093 --> 00:44:06,333 Speaker 13: what it is. One of the oldest jokes in human 859 00:44:06,533 --> 00:44:09,573 Speaker 13: history is, of course, peekaboo that you do with your babies. 860 00:44:09,613 --> 00:44:13,013 Speaker 13: Who's there, Daddy's there, and your babies starts howling. 861 00:44:13,213 --> 00:44:13,533 Speaker 4: Yeah. 862 00:44:13,653 --> 00:44:15,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a very good point. I've got a one 863 00:44:15,333 --> 00:44:17,333 Speaker 3: year old at the moment, and he's just at that 864 00:44:17,453 --> 00:44:20,933 Speaker 3: delightful stage where Peekaboo is an enormous hit and I 865 00:44:20,973 --> 00:44:22,893 Speaker 3: can just do little things to make him laugh. And 866 00:44:23,253 --> 00:44:25,973 Speaker 3: seeing him laugh it's as though I can feel my 867 00:44:26,453 --> 00:44:29,413 Speaker 3: blood pressure relax or something like. I feel a kind 868 00:44:29,413 --> 00:44:34,213 Speaker 3: of physiological reaction as I as I join him and laughter. 869 00:44:34,293 --> 00:44:36,533 Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's an amazing it's an amazing thing, 870 00:44:36,533 --> 00:44:37,813 Speaker 3: and you never really consider it. 871 00:44:37,813 --> 00:44:39,293 Speaker 4: I suppose no, you don't. 872 00:44:39,333 --> 00:44:41,533 Speaker 13: And that's why I'm taking time out in the show too. 873 00:44:41,773 --> 00:44:44,333 Speaker 13: I mean I should stress it's not a Ted talk no. 874 00:44:44,093 --> 00:44:45,973 Speaker 5: No, absolutely a comedy show. 875 00:44:46,893 --> 00:44:49,413 Speaker 3: Doctor Stephen is going to be addressing us about yeah yeah, 876 00:44:49,453 --> 00:44:50,893 Speaker 3: yeah yeah. 877 00:44:50,413 --> 00:44:53,933 Speaker 13: And will I will be guaranteeing that laughter will ensue. 878 00:44:54,733 --> 00:44:58,573 Speaker 13: Where I've been doing the show recently in Adelaide and 879 00:44:58,613 --> 00:45:02,413 Speaker 13: now in Canberra, and it's gone down I can say particularly, well. 880 00:45:03,533 --> 00:45:05,253 Speaker 3: That's really good to hear. So so you're sort of 881 00:45:05,253 --> 00:45:07,813 Speaker 3: on the feasible circuit a little bit at the stage 882 00:45:07,813 --> 00:45:10,773 Speaker 3: of the year, right, and you you had a real 883 00:45:10,853 --> 00:45:13,733 Speaker 3: breakout back in the day at the Edinburgh Fringe. That 884 00:45:13,853 --> 00:45:17,813 Speaker 3: was where you really started to connect with people. So 885 00:45:18,133 --> 00:45:20,133 Speaker 3: how do you reflect. I don't want to suggest that 886 00:45:20,173 --> 00:45:21,653 Speaker 3: you've been in the game a long time. But how 887 00:45:21,653 --> 00:45:23,733 Speaker 3: do you reflect on the kind of on the kind 888 00:45:23,733 --> 00:45:26,293 Speaker 3: of changes in the comedy scene, in the way in 889 00:45:26,333 --> 00:45:30,613 Speaker 3: which comics travel and tour today compared to when you started, 890 00:45:30,653 --> 00:45:33,373 Speaker 3: Because from the outside it looks like there's been an 891 00:45:33,413 --> 00:45:35,293 Speaker 3: explosion and stand up comedy. 892 00:45:36,013 --> 00:45:37,893 Speaker 13: Well, I think you're absolutely right, Jack, there have been 893 00:45:37,893 --> 00:45:41,173 Speaker 13: an explosion. And I think partly what's that got to 894 00:45:41,253 --> 00:45:44,733 Speaker 13: do with is the fact that people's tastes have changed 895 00:45:44,773 --> 00:45:48,333 Speaker 13: over the years. How people consume comedy has changed. The 896 00:45:48,413 --> 00:45:51,533 Speaker 13: gatekeepers who used to tell us and put on TV, etc. 897 00:45:52,013 --> 00:45:55,213 Speaker 13: What they thought was funny. That has changed, the advent 898 00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:58,413 Speaker 13: of social media where people can create their own stuff. 899 00:45:59,133 --> 00:46:01,893 Speaker 13: And what I've seen in particular in the last ten 900 00:46:02,493 --> 00:46:06,093 Speaker 13: ten or so years is the different voices coming through now. 901 00:46:06,493 --> 00:46:07,973 Speaker 13: When I was doing The End, I used to the 902 00:46:08,093 --> 00:46:13,093 Speaker 13: Edinward Festival every year since nineteen ninety seven, for example, 903 00:46:13,453 --> 00:46:15,493 Speaker 13: and back then, for example, I would be one of 904 00:46:15,693 --> 00:46:19,333 Speaker 13: maybe two other black comedians there, or you wouldn't hear 905 00:46:19,373 --> 00:46:23,213 Speaker 13: of any LGBT voices, you wouldn't. 906 00:46:22,893 --> 00:46:24,573 Speaker 5: See many women. 907 00:46:25,773 --> 00:46:28,373 Speaker 13: But now that the landscape, as I say, has changed, 908 00:46:28,573 --> 00:46:31,173 Speaker 13: and it's wonderful because every one of us has got 909 00:46:31,213 --> 00:46:34,133 Speaker 13: a story to tell. And you know, comedy is subjective. 910 00:46:34,213 --> 00:46:36,213 Speaker 13: What you do is you find your tribe. You know, 911 00:46:36,573 --> 00:46:38,813 Speaker 13: if you don't find someone particularly funny, don't go and 912 00:46:38,853 --> 00:46:43,133 Speaker 13: see them. That's how simple it is. But I think 913 00:46:43,213 --> 00:46:46,933 Speaker 13: with comedy as well, that laughing, it's very emotional, very emotive. 914 00:46:47,373 --> 00:46:50,013 Speaker 13: I think people get so angry if they didn't like 915 00:46:50,053 --> 00:46:52,853 Speaker 13: a policular comedian or they didn't like a comedy show. 916 00:46:53,733 --> 00:46:56,453 Speaker 13: Like music as well, Oh that band is awful, don't 917 00:46:56,893 --> 00:46:59,733 Speaker 13: it might be awful to you. Somebody else likes them. 918 00:46:59,933 --> 00:47:02,573 Speaker 13: There is a reason for their success, you know, let's 919 00:47:02,573 --> 00:47:03,893 Speaker 13: try and balance things out. 920 00:47:04,533 --> 00:47:09,573 Speaker 3: That's a very mature reflection. Well, I just because you 921 00:47:09,613 --> 00:47:12,213 Speaker 3: know there are I mean, you see these stories about 922 00:47:12,373 --> 00:47:15,653 Speaker 3: you know, people either saying one of two things, first 923 00:47:15,653 --> 00:47:18,413 Speaker 3: of all, saying that you know, this comedian isn't funny 924 00:47:18,413 --> 00:47:21,413 Speaker 3: and this person shouldn't be saying this, or you conversely, 925 00:47:21,453 --> 00:47:23,133 Speaker 3: hear the other side of the coin, where you know, 926 00:47:23,213 --> 00:47:28,493 Speaker 3: people moan about living in two censorious a society these days, 927 00:47:28,573 --> 00:47:30,853 Speaker 3: and I can imagine that you sort of need to 928 00:47:30,933 --> 00:47:33,773 Speaker 3: know where you stand on those points if you're going 929 00:47:33,813 --> 00:47:35,173 Speaker 3: to be getting up in front of people and you're 930 00:47:35,213 --> 00:47:36,733 Speaker 3: going to be and you're going to be cracking gag. 931 00:47:36,813 --> 00:47:38,373 Speaker 3: So where do you want to Where do you land 932 00:47:38,413 --> 00:47:39,333 Speaker 3: on the continuum? 933 00:47:39,533 --> 00:47:42,773 Speaker 13: Well, well, the way I think the world has got 934 00:47:43,133 --> 00:47:45,893 Speaker 13: and this is perhaps the negative side of social media 935 00:47:46,133 --> 00:47:53,613 Speaker 13: has got censorious, has got full of misinformation, downright lies, untruth. 936 00:47:54,853 --> 00:47:58,253 Speaker 13: People say whatever they want without recourse. But I think 937 00:47:58,293 --> 00:48:01,373 Speaker 13: in the in the in the arena of comedy, I 938 00:48:01,453 --> 00:48:04,253 Speaker 13: really do believe in freedom of speech. But also with 939 00:48:04,373 --> 00:48:07,853 Speaker 13: freedom of speech comes freedom of expressession, whereby we can 940 00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:11,133 Speaker 13: react however we see fit, depending what it is you say, 941 00:48:11,413 --> 00:48:14,653 Speaker 13: that should be the payoff. I think any decent comedian, 942 00:48:14,893 --> 00:48:18,413 Speaker 13: any good comedian, should be able and allowed to tackle 943 00:48:18,453 --> 00:48:21,453 Speaker 13: any subject. Whether they tackle it and get it right 944 00:48:21,693 --> 00:48:24,613 Speaker 13: is another story. But let's not forget that we're in 945 00:48:24,853 --> 00:48:27,653 Speaker 13: the boundaries of comedy. It's a comedy show, and that 946 00:48:27,653 --> 00:48:29,293 Speaker 13: doesn't mean you say what you want to make people 947 00:48:29,373 --> 00:48:31,773 Speaker 13: laugh in a cheap, easy laugh, because we can all 948 00:48:31,853 --> 00:48:34,773 Speaker 13: do that. I'm pretty certain that every single one of us, 949 00:48:35,133 --> 00:48:37,733 Speaker 13: every one of the listeners right now, will the most 950 00:48:37,733 --> 00:48:40,853 Speaker 13: outrageous things your friends and family that you never say 951 00:48:40,893 --> 00:48:44,653 Speaker 13: an open company. You know, that's polite society. So for 952 00:48:44,733 --> 00:48:47,213 Speaker 13: me and myself, as I say people like my stuff, 953 00:48:47,253 --> 00:48:49,813 Speaker 13: people don't like my stuff. I don't get involved in 954 00:48:49,853 --> 00:48:52,973 Speaker 13: online spats with anybody. You know, people people have said 955 00:48:53,053 --> 00:48:55,093 Speaker 13: some stuff about me in the past over the years. 956 00:48:55,213 --> 00:48:57,813 Speaker 13: I don't get involved with it because I'm not adding 957 00:48:57,933 --> 00:49:00,933 Speaker 13: fuel or oxygen to something that's not going to benefit 958 00:49:01,053 --> 00:49:02,853 Speaker 13: my life or my mental space. 959 00:49:03,133 --> 00:49:06,573 Speaker 3: Very wise, very wise, and I'm one hundred percent. I 960 00:49:06,613 --> 00:49:08,973 Speaker 3: always just think context is so often forgotten. 961 00:49:09,013 --> 00:49:12,773 Speaker 13: With these contexts, it's so easy to sit behind your 962 00:49:12,853 --> 00:49:16,013 Speaker 13: phone and you just have a comment and at the 963 00:49:16,093 --> 00:49:18,893 Speaker 13: end of the day, to be honest, Jack, I don't 964 00:49:18,933 --> 00:49:21,373 Speaker 13: want to hear I don't want to know what people 965 00:49:21,413 --> 00:49:23,053 Speaker 13: who know nothing think. 966 00:49:24,333 --> 00:49:27,373 Speaker 3: This is. That's a great attitude. I always think, you know, 967 00:49:27,453 --> 00:49:31,213 Speaker 3: if you've taken the time whoever you are, anonymous keyboard warrior, 968 00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:34,653 Speaker 3: to take, you know, three minutes out of your day 969 00:49:34,693 --> 00:49:37,133 Speaker 3: to write a horrible message to me, I can only 970 00:49:37,133 --> 00:49:39,973 Speaker 3: imagine how vacuous an empty your life must be, because 971 00:49:39,973 --> 00:49:42,253 Speaker 3: if that's the use of time, yeah, exactly. 972 00:49:42,253 --> 00:49:45,773 Speaker 5: No, I can't imagine sitting I don't think I could. 973 00:49:46,013 --> 00:49:48,213 Speaker 13: I could put my hand on heart and say I 974 00:49:48,213 --> 00:49:50,333 Speaker 13: can look through all my social media over the years, 975 00:49:50,453 --> 00:49:52,173 Speaker 13: and I've never written anything. 976 00:49:51,893 --> 00:49:53,453 Speaker 4: Horrible to anybody good? 977 00:49:53,493 --> 00:49:56,773 Speaker 5: I mean, how what benefit does it make you feel better? 978 00:49:57,933 --> 00:49:59,173 Speaker 5: My goodness? Gracious? 979 00:49:59,733 --> 00:50:02,773 Speaker 3: Hey, why are the Brits so good at panel shows? 980 00:50:02,853 --> 00:50:06,053 Speaker 3: Why don't we see the Americans doing funny panel shows? 981 00:50:06,053 --> 00:50:09,413 Speaker 3: But I mean they're a diameter dozen in the UK 982 00:50:09,613 --> 00:50:12,333 Speaker 3: and almost to a program, they are sensational. 983 00:50:13,293 --> 00:50:15,773 Speaker 5: Do you know what? I don't know what the actual 984 00:50:15,933 --> 00:50:18,053 Speaker 5: answer is. It could be. 985 00:50:18,133 --> 00:50:20,853 Speaker 13: I mean, for example, the Americans are very good at sitcom, 986 00:50:21,373 --> 00:50:23,733 Speaker 13: maybe because they have lots and lots of writers. They're 987 00:50:23,733 --> 00:50:27,333 Speaker 13: good at sketch in some in many respects, maybe because 988 00:50:27,333 --> 00:50:29,453 Speaker 13: they have lots and lots of writers. But with a 989 00:50:29,533 --> 00:50:34,093 Speaker 13: panel show, it's about getting about each person being individual, 990 00:50:34,533 --> 00:50:36,973 Speaker 13: and it's kind of in the moment and it's funny, 991 00:50:37,013 --> 00:50:39,653 Speaker 13: and some people are very self deprecating on there. So 992 00:50:39,693 --> 00:50:42,333 Speaker 13: you again, like comedy, you find the ones you like 993 00:50:42,813 --> 00:50:45,293 Speaker 13: and then you go bang, oh yeah, that's that's he said, 994 00:50:45,333 --> 00:50:47,213 Speaker 13: that's spontaneously, that's funny. 995 00:50:47,413 --> 00:50:48,413 Speaker 5: Maybe that's the secret. 996 00:50:48,493 --> 00:50:50,613 Speaker 3: Maybe I don't want to say the Americans aren't witty, 997 00:50:50,773 --> 00:50:53,693 Speaker 3: because I enjoy American comedies as well, But I think 998 00:50:54,093 --> 00:50:57,653 Speaker 3: maybe that's it. Maybe maybe there's something about the British 999 00:50:58,493 --> 00:51:01,493 Speaker 3: sensibility that just leans itself to being wittier in those 1000 00:51:01,613 --> 00:51:04,173 Speaker 3: in those moments and those shows beat a suitor kind 1001 00:51:04,213 --> 00:51:05,693 Speaker 3: of witty format, you know. 1002 00:51:06,573 --> 00:51:07,733 Speaker 5: But Jack. 1003 00:51:09,093 --> 00:51:12,453 Speaker 3: Exactly, you put it on me, Steve, And yeah, you 1004 00:51:12,493 --> 00:51:15,573 Speaker 3: take the full to see all the comments flooding and 1005 00:51:15,613 --> 00:51:19,493 Speaker 3: I'll be totally misrepresented here. And yeah, my final question 1006 00:51:19,533 --> 00:51:22,893 Speaker 3: for you. You were in the Beetlejuice sequel a couple 1007 00:51:22,933 --> 00:51:25,013 Speaker 3: of times. Yes, So how did that come about? 1008 00:51:25,493 --> 00:51:26,733 Speaker 5: Well, it's one of those things. 1009 00:51:26,773 --> 00:51:29,293 Speaker 13: I'm just very grateful that over the years catop has 1010 00:51:29,373 --> 00:51:32,453 Speaker 13: opened many different avenues to walk down through. 1011 00:51:32,693 --> 00:51:35,013 Speaker 5: I've done a West End musical for example. I mean, 1012 00:51:35,013 --> 00:51:35,933 Speaker 5: who would have thought it? 1013 00:51:36,773 --> 00:51:39,053 Speaker 13: And then I got a call a couple of years 1014 00:51:39,053 --> 00:51:43,213 Speaker 13: ago from casting people and they give me a code 1015 00:51:43,293 --> 00:51:46,053 Speaker 13: name for this thing and they mentioned Tim Burton and 1016 00:51:46,093 --> 00:51:46,453 Speaker 13: I'm like. 1017 00:51:46,453 --> 00:51:48,693 Speaker 5: Whatever it is, I'm in. And then, of. 1018 00:51:48,653 --> 00:51:52,373 Speaker 13: Course I find out with a script that arrives a 1019 00:51:52,413 --> 00:51:55,613 Speaker 13: couple of days later, and it's watermarked and it's highly 1020 00:51:55,653 --> 00:51:58,693 Speaker 13: tightly secure, and it's got a cowbird and I know 1021 00:51:58,813 --> 00:52:02,093 Speaker 13: exactly what it is and I'm like boom, of course, 1022 00:52:02,093 --> 00:52:04,853 Speaker 13: and everyone has seen it. You'll know that the scene 1023 00:52:04,853 --> 00:52:08,533 Speaker 13: that I'm talking about is. It's a pastiche it's quite 1024 00:52:08,573 --> 00:52:13,653 Speaker 13: a nod back to a certain very famous music program 1025 00:52:13,733 --> 00:52:17,773 Speaker 13: in America in these late sixties and seventies, and that's 1026 00:52:17,933 --> 00:52:20,133 Speaker 13: I think it's quite funny. I think it's the best scene. 1027 00:52:20,173 --> 00:52:20,813 Speaker 5: But I'm buyased. 1028 00:52:20,853 --> 00:52:22,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course you are.

Do you have 1073 00:54:23,573 --> 00:54:25,293 Speaker 3: a Carl? Good morning, Jack. 1074 00:54:25,333 --> 00:54:25,533 Speaker 5: Hello. 1075 00:54:26,013 --> 00:54:28,693 Speaker 3: We're going to begin this morning with the latest show 1076 00:54:28,733 --> 00:54:32,733 Speaker 3: from the creator of Stranger Things, tell us about something 1077 00:54:32,933 --> 00:54:34,493 Speaker 3: very bad is going to happen. 1078 00:54:35,253 --> 00:54:37,653 Speaker 14: Yes, I'm gonna have some minor spoilers, but nothing more 1079 00:54:37,693 --> 00:54:40,613 Speaker 14: than you might have gathered from that title. It's very descriptive, 1080 00:54:41,053 --> 00:54:44,253 Speaker 14: and indeed something very bad does indeed happen throughout and 1081 00:54:44,733 --> 00:54:46,453 Speaker 14: continues to happen pretty much from. 1082 00:54:46,293 --> 00:54:46,653 Speaker 8: The word go. 1083 00:54:47,173 --> 00:54:50,293 Speaker 14: The show's sort of a horror romance, perhaps not the 1084 00:54:50,333 --> 00:54:52,693 Speaker 14: way you might think. The remance comes from the show 1085 00:54:52,813 --> 00:54:56,093 Speaker 14: revolving around a wedding and the idea of marrying your soulmate. 1086 00:54:56,533 --> 00:54:59,373 Speaker 14: Then the horror comes from a generational curse that kills 1087 00:54:59,413 --> 00:55:01,613 Speaker 14: the bride on the evening of her wedding day in 1088 00:55:01,693 --> 00:55:04,613 Speaker 14: quite gruesome fashion if the man she's married is not 1089 00:55:04,733 --> 00:55:08,493 Speaker 14: in fact said soulmate, which is quite a unique idea. 1090 00:55:09,293 --> 00:55:11,333 Speaker 14: And the show follows a bride Rachel in the week 1091 00:55:11,413 --> 00:55:14,653 Speaker 14: leading up to her wedding as she discovers first why 1092 00:55:14,693 --> 00:55:17,013 Speaker 14: all these bad things are going on around her, secondly 1093 00:55:17,013 --> 00:55:21,333 Speaker 14: if fiance is actually her soulmate, and then thirdly finding 1094 00:55:21,333 --> 00:55:23,133 Speaker 14: a way to sort of survive the curse if it 1095 00:55:23,133 --> 00:55:26,733 Speaker 14: turns out he isn't. And of course there's loads of 1096 00:55:26,813 --> 00:55:31,173 Speaker 14: bad things happening. This idea isn't waste and there's been 1097 00:55:31,173 --> 00:55:33,733 Speaker 14: a lot of buzz around the eight part show. Like 1098 00:55:33,773 --> 00:55:36,013 Speaker 14: you said, it was produced by the Duffer brothers who 1099 00:55:36,493 --> 00:55:39,773 Speaker 14: created Stranger Things, and that was a slick show and 1100 00:55:39,813 --> 00:55:43,493 Speaker 14: sort of set a visual visual tone for the zeitgeist 1101 00:55:43,493 --> 00:55:46,133 Speaker 14: in a way, and this does the same sort of thing, 1102 00:55:46,253 --> 00:55:49,013 Speaker 14: but it doesn't lean on nostalgia like that does. It's 1103 00:55:49,133 --> 00:55:52,413 Speaker 14: very modern and flashy, which you know you sort of 1104 00:55:52,453 --> 00:55:56,053 Speaker 14: expect from those guys, right, Yeah, And I think this 1105 00:55:56,093 --> 00:55:58,693 Speaker 14: would have been an absolutely cracking movie. It would have 1106 00:55:58,693 --> 00:56:01,133 Speaker 14: been amazing. It would have been six episodes, would have 1107 00:56:01,133 --> 00:56:04,173 Speaker 14: been a very good show, but at eight it really 1108 00:56:04,213 --> 00:56:07,133 Speaker 14: does start to drag and lose that momentum that it 1109 00:56:07,173 --> 00:56:11,413 Speaker 14: has in the first half. Right, the first four episodes, man, 1110 00:56:11,453 --> 00:56:14,493 Speaker 14: I was all in on the show. It was moving fast, 1111 00:56:14,533 --> 00:56:17,173 Speaker 14: it was creepy as heck, it was dark, it was 1112 00:56:17,453 --> 00:56:20,733 Speaker 14: you know, quite quite scary at times, and had it 1113 00:56:20,733 --> 00:56:22,613 Speaker 14: almost like a David Lynch vibe to it. It was all 1114 00:56:22,613 --> 00:56:25,573 Speaker 14: this weird stuff happening, and it was very very creepy 1115 00:56:25,853 --> 00:56:29,933 Speaker 14: and tense. And then there's a reveal which is I 1116 00:56:29,933 --> 00:56:32,493 Speaker 14: guess supposed to raise the stakes, but it kind of 1117 00:56:32,493 --> 00:56:36,813 Speaker 14: just deflated them for me, which was a bit disappointing. 1118 00:56:38,253 --> 00:56:41,213 Speaker 14: And then the pace really slows down and characters have 1119 00:56:41,253 --> 00:56:44,213 Speaker 14: lots of earnest conversations where you're thinking, can we just 1120 00:56:44,293 --> 00:56:47,133 Speaker 14: get back on with what's going on? So I think 1121 00:56:47,213 --> 00:56:49,893 Speaker 14: they just like cut it down to six episodes. That 1122 00:56:49,933 --> 00:56:53,133 Speaker 14: would have helped a lot, but it's still you know, 1123 00:56:53,333 --> 00:56:55,253 Speaker 14: I still wanted to see. I stayed right to the end. 1124 00:56:55,293 --> 00:56:57,213 Speaker 14: I wanted to see what was happened, what would happen, 1125 00:56:57,253 --> 00:56:59,173 Speaker 14: how they're going to resolve this thing. I was very 1126 00:56:59,213 --> 00:57:02,653 Speaker 14: curious to see what was going to go on. But 1127 00:57:02,773 --> 00:57:06,013 Speaker 14: it did feel not a slog but you know, there 1128 00:57:06,053 --> 00:57:07,813 Speaker 14: were different definitely get. 1129 00:57:07,653 --> 00:57:10,773 Speaker 3: Out more than was necessary sometimes Lisa's more with these things. 1130 00:57:11,213 --> 00:57:12,973 Speaker 14: I think so, and especially with you know, with horror, 1131 00:57:13,013 --> 00:57:17,253 Speaker 14: you want to keep that Kent awful atmosphere, and it 1132 00:57:17,293 --> 00:57:20,333 Speaker 14: does lead to like sort of like a commediately horrific finale, 1133 00:57:20,373 --> 00:57:23,013 Speaker 14: I think is a way to almost compensate for that 1134 00:57:23,333 --> 00:57:26,133 Speaker 14: slow sort of pace that it falls into. But by 1135 00:57:26,173 --> 00:57:31,133 Speaker 14: then it wasn't enough. It was almost comedically comedically gory. 1136 00:57:30,813 --> 00:57:32,053 Speaker 3: In a way. 1137 00:57:32,453 --> 00:57:34,573 Speaker 14: So it's not very it's not very bad, but I 1138 00:57:34,613 --> 00:57:36,613 Speaker 14: would say it's probably average. It would have been an 1139 00:57:36,693 --> 00:57:41,653 Speaker 14: amazing an amazing movie. But yeah, eight episodes so long? 1140 00:57:41,853 --> 00:57:43,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, well it depends how the weather is 1141 00:57:43,773 --> 00:57:45,413 Speaker 3: it your plays, you know, if it's if it's one 1142 00:57:45,413 --> 00:57:48,493 Speaker 3: of those weekends, then maybe eight episodes isn't actually too many. 1143 00:57:48,533 --> 00:57:51,293 Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, get the message there. So that's that's 1144 00:57:51,573 --> 00:57:54,653 Speaker 3: something very bad is going to happen. That's streaming on 1145 00:57:54,773 --> 00:57:57,413 Speaker 3: Netflix and on Apple TV plus. Tell us about your 1146 00:57:57,453 --> 00:57:58,293 Speaker 3: friends and neighbors. 1147 00:57:58,973 --> 00:58:01,733 Speaker 14: Now this is season two has just started, and I 1148 00:58:01,853 --> 00:58:04,333 Speaker 14: was super invested in season one.

And they sort 1168 00:58:57,613 --> 00:59:00,533 Speaker 14: of balance that heist with the family drama of him 1169 00:59:00,813 --> 00:59:03,493 Speaker 14: and his divorce process and things like that, so it 1170 00:59:03,373 --> 00:59:05,813 Speaker 14: was it was quite good, and it ended on an 1171 00:59:05,813 --> 00:59:08,613 Speaker 14: almighty cliffhanger that I've been waiting a full year to 1172 00:59:08,653 --> 00:59:10,853 Speaker 14: see how are they going to get themselves out of 1173 00:59:10,893 --> 00:59:11,253 Speaker 14: this thing? 1174 00:59:11,453 --> 00:59:12,373 Speaker 4: Like it was? 1175 00:59:13,013 --> 00:59:14,333 Speaker 14: It was major. I was like, Oh, this is going 1176 00:59:14,373 --> 00:59:16,933 Speaker 14: to be great, explain away. So I was really man, 1177 00:59:17,093 --> 00:59:19,693 Speaker 14: I was ready. So imagine my disappointment Jack when they 1178 00:59:19,733 --> 00:59:24,933 Speaker 14: simply hand waived the whole thing away. It was such 1179 00:59:24,933 --> 00:59:28,213 Speaker 14: a letdown. You would not believe they do a time jump. 1180 00:59:28,453 --> 00:59:30,853 Speaker 14: They sort of a couple of characters mentioned it a 1181 00:59:30,893 --> 00:59:31,573 Speaker 14: couple of times. 1182 00:59:32,333 --> 00:59:33,893 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 1183 00:59:34,213 --> 00:59:36,293 Speaker 14: I won't spoil what they do, but I will say 1184 00:59:36,333 --> 00:59:39,493 Speaker 14: that it was very lame and sort of up there 1185 00:59:39,493 --> 00:59:41,533 Speaker 14: with and it was all a dream. 1186 00:59:41,813 --> 00:59:42,133 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1187 00:59:42,333 --> 00:59:46,693 Speaker 14: So after that, it was very hard to get to 1188 00:59:46,813 --> 00:59:49,373 Speaker 14: invest into season two because you know, once you've been cheated, 1189 00:59:49,373 --> 00:59:55,093 Speaker 14: once you're not lying again.

It 1222 01:01:45,173 --> 01:01:47,533 Speaker 3: sort of feels like it's going to be really conventional 1223 01:01:47,533 --> 01:01:49,573 Speaker 3: pop and then it's just a little twist, don't you think. 1224 01:01:50,213 --> 01:01:53,493 Speaker 3: So Arlow Parks is a songwriter from South London who 1225 01:01:53,573 --> 01:01:56,933 Speaker 3: has established herself as one of the most emotionally transparent 1226 01:01:57,013 --> 01:02:00,773 Speaker 3: voices in today's pop music. She was a Mercury Prize 1227 01:02:00,813 --> 01:02:04,213 Speaker 3: winner for her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, which she 1228 01:02:04,293 --> 01:02:07,493 Speaker 3: released just before her twentieth bird She's always kind of 1229 01:02:07,493 --> 01:02:10,973 Speaker 3: been drawn to an influenced by early two thousands Croydon 1230 01:02:11,133 --> 01:02:17,613 Speaker 3: post dubstep sounds, which I'm very familiar with no but 1231 01:02:17,933 --> 01:02:20,613 Speaker 3: actually know the likes of James Blake, for example, who 1232 01:02:20,693 --> 01:02:25,013 Speaker 3: is just Fantastic, whose new album is oh Obnestly par Excellence, 1233 01:02:26,413 --> 01:02:29,893 Speaker 3: Joy Orbison another one and who Anyway, her new album's 1234 01:02:29,973 --> 01:02:32,773 Speaker 3: kind of absorbed a lot of that feeling. So Arlo 1235 01:02:32,853 --> 01:02:35,533 Speaker 3: Parks's new album is called Ambiguous Desire. We're going to 1236 01:02:35,573 --> 01:02:38,413 Speaker 3: have a little bit of a listen before midday today, 1237 01:02:38,853 --> 01:02:41,213 Speaker 3: before eleven though.

He'll be with us 1247 01:03:14,773 --> 01:03:18,013 Speaker 3: very shortly.

It's a team. It's the mic asking breakfast, 1253 01:03:30,813 --> 01:03:33,253 Speaker 4: quick question? Did you buy the mini? Good question, Tim. 1254 01:03:33,293 --> 01:03:36,053 Speaker 15: The more pertinent question would be after she said we 1255 01:03:36,053 --> 01:03:38,053 Speaker 15: were going to buy the mini? What happened when I 1256 01:03:38,093 --> 01:03:40,333 Speaker 15: went home? Would that be the question you'd like to ask. 1257 01:03:40,173 --> 01:03:42,533 Speaker 4: Me, Mike, after she said that she would buy the mini? 1258 01:03:42,613 --> 01:03:43,733 Speaker 4: What happened when you got home? 1259 01:03:43,773 --> 01:03:45,653 Speaker 15: For a good question, Tim, I'm glad you asked that. 1260 01:03:45,893 --> 01:03:48,693 Speaker 15: The answer was that's not happening. I regret saying that, 1261 01:03:48,773 --> 01:03:50,773 Speaker 15: and that's the last we will ever talk about. That's 1262 01:03:50,773 --> 01:03:51,413 Speaker 15: not true. 1263 01:03:51,173 --> 01:03:53,173 Speaker 11: Because the Mini Garage did get in touch with me. 1264 01:03:53,493 --> 01:03:57,933 Speaker 11: She was like, hey, I'm not building it out. 1265 01:03:58,053 --> 01:03:59,933 Speaker 15: This is like the US and Run at the moment, 1266 01:04:00,013 --> 01:04:01,253 Speaker 15: isn't it we're talking about we're not? 1267 01:04:01,373 --> 01:04:03,213 Speaker 4: Yes we are, No, we're not. Is the AMNI know 1268 01:04:03,293 --> 01:04:05,053 Speaker 4: there's not? Yes, it could be no, there's not. 1269 01:04:05,533 --> 01:04:08,453 Speaker 15: Back Tuesday for six am the Mic Hosking Breakfast with 1270 01:04:08,613 --> 01:04:11,413 Speaker 15: rain Drivers fort SV News Talk ZB. 1271 01:04:11,613 --> 01:04:13,693 Speaker 3: Twenty one to eleven non news talks. They'd be the 1272 01:04:13,733 --> 01:04:17,293 Speaker 3: first reviews or report cards are in on the Australian 1273 01:04:17,613 --> 01:04:20,453 Speaker 3: social media ban. Of course, sixteen year olds in Australia 1274 01:04:20,493 --> 01:04:23,413 Speaker 3: are banned from using social media. Our Textbert Paul Stenhouse 1275 01:04:23,493 --> 01:04:27,493 Speaker 3: is here with the details. So how's it going, Paul, Yeah. 1276 01:04:27,373 --> 01:04:29,893 Speaker 16: There's room for improvement. Jack, So maybe what's that a 1277 01:04:29,933 --> 01:04:33,533 Speaker 16: C or maybe a B. I don't know, but the 1278 01:04:33,613 --> 01:04:36,693 Speaker 16: regulator is watching. I don't think they're taking any measures 1279 01:04:36,733 --> 01:04:39,253 Speaker 16: as yet, but they are. They're paying close attention to 1280 01:04:39,293 --> 01:04:42,453 Speaker 16: those ten social media companies who ye have to try 1281 01:04:42,453 --> 01:04:45,693 Speaker 16: to keep children off the platforms, and I think it 1282 01:04:45,733 --> 01:04:48,693 Speaker 16: is possibly easier said than done. 1283 01:04:48,973 --> 01:04:49,173 Speaker 3: Right. 1284 01:04:49,573 --> 01:04:51,893 Speaker 16: The regulator at the moment has flagged a couple of 1285 01:04:51,933 --> 01:04:55,493 Speaker 16: things though, where they've said that where they're sort of 1286 01:04:55,533 --> 01:04:58,413 Speaker 16: not following or where there could be some improvements. Yeah, 1287 01:04:58,493 --> 01:05:01,253 Speaker 16: one of those is that before the band came into play, 1288 01:05:01,373 --> 01:05:05,013 Speaker 16: some kids said they were under sixteen, and since the 1289 01:05:05,053 --> 01:05:07,773 Speaker 16: band came into effect, I've had the opportunity to change 1290 01:05:07,813 --> 01:05:10,733 Speaker 16: their account to say that they are over sixteen. So 1291 01:05:10,813 --> 01:05:14,413 Speaker 16: that's one little check mark in the maybe things to 1292 01:05:14,493 --> 01:05:19,693 Speaker 16: improve column. They've also found that there are insufficient ways 1293 01:05:19,853 --> 01:05:23,813 Speaker 16: to report under sixteen accounts, whether they be from other 1294 01:05:23,933 --> 01:05:28,253 Speaker 16: kids or from adults or things like that. And also 1295 01:05:29,213 --> 01:05:32,453 Speaker 16: they still don't have good ways to prevent kids from 1296 01:05:32,493 --> 01:05:35,853 Speaker 16: just creating new accounts who are under sixteen but maybe 1297 01:05:35,933 --> 01:05:39,733 Speaker 16: aren't saying that they are under sixteen. So look social 1298 01:05:39,733 --> 01:05:42,253 Speaker 16: media companies, both Meta and Snap, they both saying they're 1299 01:05:42,293 --> 01:05:43,973 Speaker 16: doing the best they can to comply. 1300 01:05:44,693 --> 01:05:45,973 Speaker 4: But it is and. 1301 01:05:46,013 --> 01:05:48,173 Speaker 16: They say this. I think we've talked about this as well. 1302 01:05:48,213 --> 01:05:52,053 Speaker 16: It is really difficult without a form of government ID 1303 01:05:52,333 --> 01:05:54,453 Speaker 16: to know how old a person is. Otherwise we're just 1304 01:05:54,853 --> 01:05:58,533 Speaker 16: trusting or potentially maybe inferring from some of their activities. 1305 01:05:58,533 --> 01:06:01,653 Speaker 16: But that's not one hundred percent. So Meta has at 1306 01:06:01,693 --> 01:06:05,853 Speaker 16: least suggested that the app stores should really be the 1307 01:06:05,853 --> 01:06:08,973 Speaker 16: place that age verification takes place, which is a little 1308 01:06:08,973 --> 01:06:12,093 Speaker 16: bit of a little shift aroo. 1309 01:06:11,973 --> 01:06:16,133 Speaker 3: If you will. I was going to say basically, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1310 01:06:16,173 --> 01:06:18,493 Speaker 16: So they're kind of saying, well, we operate and we 1311 01:06:18,613 --> 01:06:21,413 Speaker 16: can't really figure this out. But hey, app Store, you 1312 01:06:21,493 --> 01:06:25,333 Speaker 16: maybe have credit card details, you maybe know something else, Apple, Google, 1313 01:06:25,453 --> 01:06:27,773 Speaker 16: maybe you can just figure this over here. 1314 01:06:28,093 --> 01:06:30,253 Speaker 3: Oh man, that is so interesting. I suppose at the 1315 01:06:30,333 --> 01:06:32,893 Speaker 3: end of the day, though, I mean supporters of the band, 1316 01:06:32,893 --> 01:06:35,373 Speaker 3: which they don't let the perfect be the enemy. 1317 01:06:35,413 --> 01:06:35,773 Speaker 4: They're good. 1318 01:06:35,813 --> 01:06:40,573 Speaker 3: Like, if it's still stopping some younger kids from accessing 1319 01:06:40,573 --> 01:06:42,333 Speaker 3: social media, and I think it is, I think everyone 1320 01:06:42,413 --> 01:06:44,853 Speaker 3: agrees that they might otherwise have been using it, then 1321 01:06:45,333 --> 01:06:48,093 Speaker 3: it's still a net positive compared to the previous setting. 1322 01:06:48,133 --> 01:06:49,853 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see 1323 01:06:49,893 --> 01:06:53,053 Speaker 3: if the big social media companies come out with some 1324 01:06:53,613 --> 01:06:56,573 Speaker 3: alternate plans for actually being able to verify people's ages 1325 01:06:56,613 --> 01:07:00,213 Speaker 3: without using those government issued ida Thank you very much, 1326 01:07:00,253 --> 01:07:03,813 Speaker 3: Paul our Textbert Paul Stenhouse. There, we're talking personal finance. 1327 01:07:03,853 --> 01:07:05,533 Speaker 3: In a couple of minutes, It's eighteen to eleven. 1328 01:07:06,533 --> 01:07:10,173 Speaker 1: No better way to kick off your weekend than with Jack. 1329 01:07:11,093 --> 01:07:15,413 Speaker 1: Saturday Morning with Jack Team News talk set me sixteen 1330 01:07:15,653 --> 01:07:16,293 Speaker 1: if you're eleven. 1331 01:07:16,293 --> 01:07:18,893 Speaker 3: The talking personal fins with Ed McKnight from Opie's partner 1332 01:07:18,933 --> 01:07:19,613 Speaker 3: is a good morning, sir. 1333 01:07:20,213 --> 01:07:21,333 Speaker 4: Great to talk to you. Jack. 1334 01:07:21,693 --> 01:07:24,253 Speaker 3: You know what it feels like, elections come around faster 1335 01:07:24,293 --> 01:07:26,613 Speaker 3: and faster and faster. Maybe that's just my job, but 1336 01:07:26,693 --> 01:07:29,413 Speaker 3: also maybe that is just the experience of anyone who 1337 01:07:29,533 --> 01:07:32,293 Speaker 3: keeps even a cursory eye on the housing market. Because 1338 01:07:32,293 --> 01:07:36,493 Speaker 3: it's funny. In election year, it feels like the date 1339 01:07:36,533 --> 01:07:40,133 Speaker 3: itself and the uncertainty that comes with elections looms over 1340 01:07:40,173 --> 01:07:40,973 Speaker 3: the property market. 1341 01:07:41,853 --> 01:07:44,333 Speaker 17: Well that's exactly right, and in fact, so many things 1342 01:07:44,613 --> 01:07:48,053 Speaker 17: routinely impact the property market and we can see that. 1343 01:07:48,173 --> 01:07:51,933 Speaker 17: So what I've done is analyze the last eleven MMP 1344 01:07:52,093 --> 01:07:56,733 Speaker 17: elections going back to nineteen ninety three, and looked for 1345 01:07:56,893 --> 01:08:00,533 Speaker 17: patterns about what almost always happens. And what I've found 1346 01:08:00,653 --> 01:08:04,053 Speaker 17: is there a pretty clear trend. Actually, so before the 1347 01:08:04,093 --> 01:08:07,613 Speaker 17: election and up until about a month after the election, 1348 01:08:07,773 --> 01:08:12,453 Speaker 17: kiwis do routinely buy fewer houses. Now it's not by 1349 01:08:12,493 --> 01:08:16,333 Speaker 17: a huge amount, it's by kind of somewhere between four 1350 01:08:16,413 --> 01:08:20,333 Speaker 17: to ten percent fewer houses before the election, and then 1351 01:08:20,453 --> 01:08:23,613 Speaker 17: on average they start making up for lost time after it. 1352 01:08:23,773 --> 01:08:25,853 Speaker 17: And I think what this does come down to is 1353 01:08:26,333 --> 01:08:31,093 Speaker 17: the uncertainty about the outcome, the uncertainty about the policy 1354 01:08:31,133 --> 01:08:34,453 Speaker 17: settings or what might happen afterwards. It just makes some 1355 01:08:34,573 --> 01:08:37,933 Speaker 17: people decide to hold back a little bit, delay that picture, 1356 01:08:37,973 --> 01:08:40,493 Speaker 17: such a delay taking out that mess of mortgage or 1357 01:08:40,733 --> 01:08:43,373 Speaker 17: switching homes, of just saying, oh, wait and see what 1358 01:08:43,453 --> 01:08:45,973 Speaker 17: happens after the election. And I think we all kind 1359 01:08:46,013 --> 01:08:48,213 Speaker 17: of knew or sense that that might. 1360 01:08:48,093 --> 01:08:48,653 Speaker 5: Be the case. 1361 01:08:48,693 --> 01:08:50,893 Speaker 17: But it's interesting to see that once you look at 1362 01:08:50,933 --> 01:08:53,453 Speaker 17: the data. Hey, that's what actually happens. 1363 01:08:53,733 --> 01:08:57,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting. Does if you're going through those different 1364 01:08:57,373 --> 01:08:59,933 Speaker 3: elections and the different results and then mapping it onto 1365 01:08:59,973 --> 01:09:03,173 Speaker 3: activity in the housing market or plopping it against activity 1366 01:09:03,173 --> 01:09:05,973 Speaker 3: in the housing market, can you see any discernible difference 1367 01:09:06,453 --> 01:09:09,813 Speaker 3: depending on who wins you actually do it. 1368 01:09:09,853 --> 01:09:12,893 Speaker 17: I was a little bit surprised by this now bearing 1369 01:09:12,933 --> 01:09:15,613 Speaker 17: by just before I tell you what the results actually are, 1370 01:09:16,053 --> 01:09:19,253 Speaker 17: because we're only looking at eleven elections. I think six 1371 01:09:19,333 --> 01:09:21,533 Speaker 17: of them were won by national, five of them were 1372 01:09:21,533 --> 01:09:24,733 Speaker 17: won by labor, and so we are talking about a 1373 01:09:24,933 --> 01:09:28,853 Speaker 17: very very very small sample size. But when I do 1374 01:09:28,933 --> 01:09:32,853 Speaker 17: split it out like that, we have seen historically that 1375 01:09:33,893 --> 01:09:38,253 Speaker 17: property sales, so people buy more houses when national wins. 1376 01:09:38,613 --> 01:09:40,973 Speaker 17: Now that could be for a few reasons, Yes, okay, 1377 01:09:41,013 --> 01:09:43,613 Speaker 17: maybe one part is that people think that national might 1378 01:09:43,653 --> 01:09:47,613 Speaker 17: be better for housing policy, despite the fact that here's 1379 01:09:47,613 --> 01:09:50,493 Speaker 17: a curly one four you jack. House prices have tended 1380 01:09:50,533 --> 01:09:53,413 Speaker 17: to go up faster under labor than national in the past. 1381 01:09:53,653 --> 01:09:56,173 Speaker 17: But putting that aside, some people think that national might 1382 01:09:56,253 --> 01:09:59,253 Speaker 17: be better for housing policy, so they might pile in. 1383 01:09:59,693 --> 01:10:03,253 Speaker 17: Some of it also comes down to just when national 1384 01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:05,653 Speaker 17: have gotten in the past. So if I think about 1385 01:10:05,693 --> 01:10:10,173 Speaker 17: the two most recent times where a national government came in, 1386 01:10:10,453 --> 01:10:14,133 Speaker 17: one happened in the GFC. Now John Key comes in, 1387 01:10:14,533 --> 01:10:17,453 Speaker 17: and what happens is the property market was already in 1388 01:10:17,493 --> 01:10:20,613 Speaker 17: the middle of a downturn right and then we had 1389 01:10:20,613 --> 01:10:24,813 Speaker 17: a rapid recovery. So did we see how sales increase 1390 01:10:25,133 --> 01:10:27,933 Speaker 17: when national came in because John Key got it or 1391 01:10:27,973 --> 01:10:30,333 Speaker 17: was it because there was a recovery happening anyway from 1392 01:10:30,333 --> 01:10:32,573 Speaker 17: the GFC. And then even if we look at the 1393 01:10:32,653 --> 01:10:34,693 Speaker 17: last election, think about what was happening there. We were 1394 01:10:34,693 --> 01:10:38,613 Speaker 17: in the middle of this absolute housing market downturred. We 1395 01:10:38,613 --> 01:10:41,093 Speaker 17: were well below average in terms of how many properties 1396 01:10:41,173 --> 01:10:45,093 Speaker 17: were being purchased. Then Christopher Luxid gets it. Now, did 1397 01:10:45,133 --> 01:10:47,293 Speaker 17: he change all the policies of back the housing market 1398 01:10:47,333 --> 01:10:50,293 Speaker 17: will better? No, But we started buying more houses because 1399 01:10:50,533 --> 01:10:53,053 Speaker 17: that was the that was the right part of the 1400 01:10:53,093 --> 01:10:55,933 Speaker 17: cycle where people were going to start to purchase more houses. 1401 01:10:56,053 --> 01:10:57,733 Speaker 17: So that's where I'm just trying to be a little 1402 01:10:57,733 --> 01:10:59,453 Speaker 17: bit careful and say, hey, it's not all doubt of 1403 01:10:59,453 --> 01:11:00,253 Speaker 17: the politicians. 1404 01:11:00,373 --> 01:11:02,493 Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes it's just what's. 1405 01:11:02,133 --> 01:11:05,053 Speaker 17: Happening in the property market at the time, and. 1406 01:11:05,693 --> 01:11:09,293 Speaker 3: It's the old relation versus causation situation. Right, You've got 1407 01:11:09,293 --> 01:11:11,373 Speaker 3: to be very careful. So I'm glad that you've given 1408 01:11:11,453 --> 01:11:14,373 Speaker 3: us that you know that that precursor, because that's a 1409 01:11:14,453 --> 01:11:16,813 Speaker 3: very important point. Well what does this mean though, for 1410 01:11:16,893 --> 01:11:20,533 Speaker 3: people who are thinking about purchasing proper property at the moment. 1411 01:11:20,733 --> 01:11:22,333 Speaker 3: Is there anything that can kind of take out of it? 1412 01:11:23,093 --> 01:11:25,253 Speaker 17: Well, I think there's a little bit of an opportunity 1413 01:11:25,293 --> 01:11:27,813 Speaker 17: for the wily people out there who are planning a 1414 01:11:27,853 --> 01:11:31,413 Speaker 17: purchase and think, Okay, I know that the property market's 1415 01:11:31,413 --> 01:11:34,853 Speaker 17: going to be a bit quieter in the call it 1416 01:11:35,333 --> 01:11:39,173 Speaker 17: six months before the election. Maybe if I'm not so 1417 01:11:39,893 --> 01:11:43,613 Speaker 17: worried about who's going to get in because I'm buying 1418 01:11:43,613 --> 01:11:45,293 Speaker 17: this for myself to live in. Right, I'm going to 1419 01:11:45,333 --> 01:11:48,053 Speaker 17: eat a house where a label or national wins the election. 1420 01:11:48,533 --> 01:11:50,293 Speaker 17: If I know that the market's going to be a 1421 01:11:50,333 --> 01:11:53,933 Speaker 17: little bit quieter, maybe I can negotiate a bit. And 1422 01:11:54,013 --> 01:11:56,773 Speaker 17: maybe you start saying to the real estate agent, well, 1423 01:11:56,853 --> 01:11:58,533 Speaker 17: you know the election is going to make a lot 1424 01:11:58,533 --> 01:12:02,133 Speaker 17: of people uncertain. Maybe I'll hold off, but actually, if 1425 01:12:02,173 --> 01:12:03,973 Speaker 17: I can get a good price, if you accept this 1426 01:12:04,053 --> 01:12:06,253 Speaker 17: lower price, yeah, I'll do the deal before the ELI 1427 01:12:07,053 --> 01:12:09,453 Speaker 17: because we all know that's going to be If it's 1428 01:12:09,533 --> 01:12:11,933 Speaker 17: quite a market, we can use that to our advantage. 1429 01:12:12,173 --> 01:12:14,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that makes total sense. That's very interesting. Thank 1430 01:12:14,653 --> 01:12:16,173 Speaker 3: you for crunching the numbers for us. 1431 01:12:16,173 --> 01:12:16,373 Speaker 4: Eat. 1432 01:12:17,853 --> 01:12:18,093 Speaker 7: Thanks. 1433 01:12:18,133 --> 01:12:20,773 Speaker 3: Yeah, we appreciate. It'd be very interesting, actually, given the 1434 01:12:20,813 --> 01:12:22,613 Speaker 3: events of the world at the moment, the state of 1435 01:12:22,613 --> 01:12:26,053 Speaker 3: our economy, to go in a year's time and look 1436 01:12:26,093 --> 01:12:27,813 Speaker 3: back at the kind of sales data from this year 1437 01:12:27,853 --> 01:12:30,213 Speaker 3: and see what impact the elections actually had. Ed McKnight 1438 01:12:30,253 --> 01:12:33,453 Speaker 3: there from Opie's Partners, our personal Finance Expert. 1439 01:12:34,093 --> 01:12:37,293 Speaker 1: Gardening with Steel Sharp, Autumn Deals on Tools. 1440 01:12:36,973 --> 01:12:40,053 Speaker 3: Bil Wright, and our Man in the Garden.

Jack. 1443 01:12:44,573 --> 01:12:46,973 Speaker 3: We always think of you as our cultured European, so 1444 01:12:47,053 --> 01:12:49,453 Speaker 3: no doubt you're here talking s cargo this morning. 1445 01:12:51,853 --> 01:12:56,373 Speaker 7: Yes, the Frenchman herego. Well, no, actually I started I 1446 01:12:56,413 --> 01:12:59,293 Speaker 7: started reading some of this literature, you know, on all 1447 01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:01,453 Speaker 7: sorts of bits and pieces. And when I read that 1448 01:13:01,573 --> 01:13:05,853 Speaker 7: we had fourteen hundred different species of snails in oh 1449 01:13:05,933 --> 01:13:13,973 Speaker 7: Tier Yet fourteen hundred different types, that's amazing, Yeah, yeah, unbelievable. 1450 01:13:14,373 --> 01:13:16,893 Speaker 7: And and you know, they go, they're doing all sorts 1451 01:13:16,933 --> 01:13:19,413 Speaker 7: of stuff. They're going to forests into liquid habitats and 1452 01:13:19,453 --> 01:13:21,533 Speaker 7: all that sort of nonsens and tree trunks and in 1453 01:13:21,613 --> 01:13:24,093 Speaker 7: your because they can do quite a bit of damage. 1454 01:13:24,133 --> 01:13:27,493 Speaker 7: Actually yeah, but first of all, let me talk about 1455 01:13:27,693 --> 01:13:31,613 Speaker 7: the native snails. First. They are really not a big deal. 1456 01:13:31,693 --> 01:13:34,373 Speaker 7: They consume dead and decaying leaves and all that sorts 1457 01:13:34,373 --> 01:13:38,013 Speaker 7: of fundy and algy so they're not really yet worried 1458 01:13:38,053 --> 01:13:41,973 Speaker 7: about everything else. So I thought, let's talk about some 1459 01:13:42,133 --> 01:13:45,613 Speaker 7: of these fourteen hundred species that I think are really called. 1460 01:13:45,613 --> 01:13:49,893 Speaker 7: And the first one is the leaf veined slug, because 1461 01:13:49,933 --> 01:13:52,093 Speaker 7: it looks like it has the veins of a leaf 1462 01:13:52,173 --> 01:13:53,693 Speaker 7: on the back. You can see it quite. 1463 01:13:53,573 --> 01:13:55,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you've sent us to a photo. It does 1464 01:13:55,333 --> 01:13:55,973 Speaker 3: look a bit like that. 1465 01:13:56,053 --> 01:14:00,333 Speaker 7: No, it's really nice and they go really quick, by 1466 01:14:00,373 --> 01:14:02,133 Speaker 7: the way. But the best thing they do is they 1467 01:14:02,173 --> 01:14:05,573 Speaker 7: go outside on your outdoor furniture and things like that 1468 01:14:05,973 --> 01:14:09,173 Speaker 7: and they clean the surfaces. 1469 01:14:09,493 --> 01:14:11,893 Speaker 3: Because they eat all of the algae and that kind 1470 01:14:11,893 --> 01:14:14,133 Speaker 3: of stuff that gathers all that kind of musty stuff 1471 01:14:14,173 --> 01:14:15,453 Speaker 3: on the furniture, right. 1472 01:14:15,613 --> 01:14:16,093 Speaker 4: You got it. 1473 01:14:16,373 --> 01:14:18,973 Speaker 7: And they leave trails. That's why I always call them 1474 01:14:19,013 --> 01:14:21,413 Speaker 7: the wet and forget slug because it looks like that. 1475 01:14:21,413 --> 01:14:24,613 Speaker 7: That's exactly what they do. It's really cool. So you 1476 01:14:24,733 --> 01:14:26,173 Speaker 7: find them a lot if you go out of side 1477 01:14:26,213 --> 01:14:29,053 Speaker 7: with the little torch of course. Yeah. So that was 1478 01:14:29,133 --> 01:14:32,373 Speaker 7: number one. Number two Perry Fanta, which is a big bugger. 1479 01:14:32,413 --> 01:14:36,013 Speaker 7: That's the coldie snail, the largest one. We've got, about 1480 01:14:36,053 --> 01:14:39,613 Speaker 7: eighty millimeters diameter. It occurs all the way from Kaitaia 1481 01:14:39,813 --> 01:14:44,133 Speaker 7: down to north of Auckland. But then again, I remember 1482 01:14:44,173 --> 01:14:46,813 Speaker 7: that when I lived in Titirangi or in Langholm rather, 1483 01:14:47,493 --> 01:14:50,333 Speaker 7: I used to have them literally in my garden right 1484 01:14:50,733 --> 01:14:53,973 Speaker 7: and every evening or afternoon when I do the mowing, 1485 01:14:54,013 --> 01:14:56,333 Speaker 7: of the lawn. I had to take them away from 1486 01:14:56,373 --> 01:15:00,053 Speaker 7: the lawn otherwise they would die. The poor things. There, 1487 01:15:00,093 --> 01:15:04,853 Speaker 7: really beautiful things. But here comes the nicest thing. They 1488 01:15:05,013 --> 01:15:08,533 Speaker 7: eat worms and they do that by having their body 1489 01:15:09,013 --> 01:15:12,133 Speaker 7: going over the soil, if you like. And if they 1490 01:15:12,173 --> 01:15:14,253 Speaker 7: find a hole with a worm in it, they go 1491 01:15:15,693 --> 01:15:18,893 Speaker 7: and they suck the whole worm up as if it 1492 01:15:19,053 --> 01:15:21,293 Speaker 7: costs nothing. It is really amazing. 1493 01:15:21,333 --> 01:15:24,533 Speaker 3: So through the hole like spaghetti. 1494 01:15:24,653 --> 01:15:27,573 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know how you get once there spaghetti? 1495 01:15:28,333 --> 01:15:30,213 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, that's a great there's limits. 1496 01:15:31,493 --> 01:15:34,213 Speaker 7: You can see that at night when you've got them 1497 01:15:34,213 --> 01:15:36,493 Speaker 7: in northk just just have a look at it. It 1498 01:15:36,613 --> 01:15:39,613 Speaker 7: is fabulous. That is That is my second wonderful one. 1499 01:15:40,133 --> 01:15:43,853 Speaker 7: Then the third one I've got Jack is Limus maximus, 1500 01:15:43,893 --> 01:15:47,573 Speaker 7: which literally means the largest slug. I don't I think 1501 01:15:47,613 --> 01:15:50,773 Speaker 7: it's an introduced one, but it's a really nice one. 1502 01:15:50,933 --> 01:15:53,253 Speaker 7: But here comes it. Here comes the thing when you've 1503 01:15:53,293 --> 01:15:56,373 Speaker 7: got cats, for instance, these things go under the door 1504 01:15:56,773 --> 01:16:01,213 Speaker 7: and they find the milk and then they go and 1505 01:16:01,293 --> 01:16:03,813 Speaker 7: it wakes up everybody, including neighbors. 1506 01:16:03,853 --> 01:16:04,493 Speaker 5: It's brillier. 1507 01:16:04,733 --> 01:16:10,253 Speaker 7: The slurp up. It's wonderful, it's good, amazing. So what 1508 01:16:10,333 --> 01:16:12,973 Speaker 7: is the last one? Is the last one is the 1509 01:16:12,973 --> 01:16:15,573 Speaker 7: one you already alluded to. This the one that is 1510 01:16:15,613 --> 01:16:21,293 Speaker 7: about having escaygo. It's comparispersus. It's the brown garden snail. 1511 01:16:21,653 --> 01:16:25,853 Speaker 7: Originally it came from Africa. The French put it into France. 1512 01:16:25,933 --> 01:16:28,653 Speaker 7: They decided that it's good eating, and that is now 1513 01:16:28,733 --> 01:16:31,773 Speaker 7: in France one of the two major ones that they 1514 01:16:31,813 --> 01:16:34,493 Speaker 7: eat escago. So what do we have to do with 1515 01:16:34,493 --> 01:16:38,493 Speaker 7: about the people in New Zealand, Get them, cook them 1516 01:16:39,013 --> 01:16:42,173 Speaker 7: and use them as escago. We instead of poisoning them 1517 01:16:42,173 --> 01:16:45,293 Speaker 7: and doing all this stupid stuff, why don't we start 1518 01:16:46,093 --> 01:16:48,893 Speaker 7: a real escigo team here in New Zealand. 1519 01:16:50,133 --> 01:16:54,173 Speaker 3: I love it. I'm into it. I mean we might 1520 01:16:54,213 --> 01:16:56,053 Speaker 3: have to ramp up production. The problem with you risk 1521 01:16:56,053 --> 01:16:58,973 Speaker 3: cargo is you need you need a fair amount to 1522 01:16:59,013 --> 01:17:01,253 Speaker 3: have a full meal, don't you. But no, I'm into it. 1523 01:17:01,333 --> 01:17:01,533 Speaker 8: Road. 1524 01:17:01,573 --> 01:17:03,333 Speaker 3: I think that could be our It could be a 1525 01:17:03,493 --> 01:17:06,773 Speaker 3: dragon's den, million dollar idea route climb park in the 1526 01:17:06,813 --> 01:17:08,893 Speaker 3: garden for us. This morning, we're just coming up to 1527 01:17:08,933 --> 01:17:10,933 Speaker 3: news time one news talks. He'd be this morning is 1528 01:17:10,933 --> 01:17:15,293 Speaker 3: absolutely you're racing by. But after eleven o'clock we are 1529 01:17:15,573 --> 01:17:18,253 Speaker 3: focusing on the lives of them rich and the famous 1530 01:17:18,693 --> 01:17:20,813 Speaker 3: In our book review, we're going to tell you about 1531 01:17:21,053 --> 01:17:24,173 Speaker 3: this journalists who's released a brand new book on the Murdochs. 1532 01:17:24,453 --> 01:17:26,853 Speaker 3: I roup up Murdoch. The journo has been covering them 1533 01:17:26,893 --> 01:17:29,093 Speaker 3: for years. So we'll tell you about Bonfire of the 1534 01:17:29,173 --> 01:17:31,373 Speaker 3: Murdocks and from those who are inheriting millions of those 1535 01:17:31,413 --> 01:17:33,973 Speaker 3: who are trying to win them. Our travel correspondence in 1536 01:17:34,093 --> 01:17:35,853 Speaker 3: Vegas News is next. 1537 01:17:37,573 --> 01:17:41,413 Speaker 1: Saturday morning, with Jack dam keeping the conversation going through 1538 01:17:41,453 --> 01:17:42,773 Speaker 1: the weekend news talks. 1539 01:17:42,813 --> 01:18:10,173 Speaker 3: At bed morning, you were jactating on newstalks that would 1540 01:18:10,173 --> 01:18:14,773 Speaker 3: be this long Easter weekend. I hope you're soaking up 1541 01:18:15,053 --> 01:18:17,093 Speaker 3: a little bit of sun wherever you are, although I 1542 01:18:17,133 --> 01:18:18,653 Speaker 3: know that some parts of the country are going to 1543 01:18:18,653 --> 01:18:20,973 Speaker 3: get drenched this weekend. At the very least, wherever you are, 1544 01:18:21,013 --> 01:18:23,813 Speaker 3: you should be able to enjoy a few treats. My goodness, 1545 01:18:24,893 --> 01:18:29,653 Speaker 3: what a tale it has been for the team behind 1546 01:18:29,853 --> 01:18:34,613 Speaker 3: All Birds. Oh. I must confess to feeling a bit, oh, 1547 01:18:34,813 --> 01:18:38,173 Speaker 3: just feeling a real kind of sense of sadness for 1548 01:18:40,013 --> 01:18:42,653 Speaker 3: the whole team Behind All Birds, but in particular Tim Brown, 1549 01:18:42,733 --> 01:18:47,693 Speaker 3: who of course founded it from his little Wellington flat 1550 01:18:47,813 --> 01:18:50,693 Speaker 3: all those years ago. I think Cuba Street was where 1551 01:18:50,733 --> 01:18:53,653 Speaker 3: All Birds first began. I actually went in film with 1552 01:18:53,733 --> 01:18:57,053 Speaker 3: him years ago in San Francisco when he had first 1553 01:18:57,173 --> 01:18:59,093 Speaker 3: taken the brand to San Francisco and they were first 1554 01:18:59,093 --> 01:19:03,573 Speaker 3: starting to build the company into a serious company rather 1555 01:19:03,653 --> 01:19:05,773 Speaker 3: than just a bit of a startup idea with a kickstarter, 1556 01:19:06,413 --> 01:19:08,573 Speaker 3: And it was one of these things where I went 1557 01:19:08,613 --> 01:19:11,173 Speaker 3: and met them in the in the San Francisco office 1558 01:19:11,253 --> 01:19:14,413 Speaker 3: and film with them, and you know, saw some of 1559 01:19:14,453 --> 01:19:16,333 Speaker 3: the shoes that were being made and stuff, and afterwards 1560 01:19:16,373 --> 01:19:17,973 Speaker 3: I thought, my gosh, they actually do seem like a 1561 01:19:17,973 --> 01:19:19,973 Speaker 3: really cool idea. And I tried on a pair of 1562 01:19:20,013 --> 01:19:23,333 Speaker 3: shoes and thought, oh, these are amazing. They're so comfortable, 1563 01:19:24,173 --> 01:19:26,213 Speaker 3: and so I started wearing them. And then I was 1564 01:19:26,253 --> 01:19:28,373 Speaker 3: living in New York at the time. Over the next 1565 01:19:28,453 --> 01:19:31,613 Speaker 3: six months or so, increasingly I started to notice people 1566 01:19:31,653 --> 01:19:34,613 Speaker 3: wearing All Birds and I thought, this is astonishing. This 1567 01:19:34,693 --> 01:19:38,533 Speaker 3: guy has managed to build this brand out of Wellington, 1568 01:19:38,933 --> 01:19:43,093 Speaker 3: go and get investors and take on the world. So 1569 01:19:43,253 --> 01:19:45,893 Speaker 3: at its peak, I think after it listed on the Nasdaq, 1570 01:19:46,053 --> 01:19:50,093 Speaker 3: the All Birds Company was valued at almost seven billion 1571 01:19:50,133 --> 01:19:53,213 Speaker 3: dollars my goodness. So they have had a rough couple 1572 01:19:53,253 --> 01:19:55,573 Speaker 3: of years. So confirmation this week that all of their 1573 01:19:55,573 --> 01:19:58,933 Speaker 3: assets have been sold down for just under seventy million dollars, 1574 01:19:59,053 --> 01:20:04,693 Speaker 3: one percent compared to their previous peak valuation. And I 1575 01:20:04,693 --> 01:20:08,773 Speaker 3: don't know. It's I'm no f and I'm no business mastermind, 1576 01:20:08,773 --> 01:20:10,053 Speaker 3: but it seems to me there are a couple of 1577 01:20:10,133 --> 01:20:12,173 Speaker 3: things at play when you think about the trajectory of 1578 01:20:12,213 --> 01:20:15,573 Speaker 3: the company over the last teen or fifteen years. So 1579 01:20:15,693 --> 01:20:17,453 Speaker 3: first of all, when they had that breakthrough when they 1580 01:20:17,533 --> 01:20:22,293 Speaker 3: showed that you could make wall shoes that were super lightweight, breathable, 1581 01:20:22,573 --> 01:20:25,533 Speaker 3: super comfortable, they were everywhere. They were kind of the 1582 01:20:25,613 --> 01:20:27,773 Speaker 3: it shoe for a little window there. The likes of 1583 01:20:27,813 --> 01:20:31,293 Speaker 3: Barack Obama were wearing All Birds. They were felt like 1584 01:20:31,373 --> 01:20:34,333 Speaker 3: they were sort of the it shoe for the Silicon 1585 01:20:34,413 --> 01:20:39,493 Speaker 3: Valley crowd. And then very quickly there were various companies 1586 01:20:39,573 --> 01:20:43,173 Speaker 3: through Amazon that seemed to be making ripoffs of All Birds, 1587 01:20:43,373 --> 01:20:46,533 Speaker 3: very similar looking shoe, maybe not with quite the same 1588 01:20:46,653 --> 01:20:49,053 Speaker 3: kind of production standards and all that stuff, but they 1589 01:20:49,093 --> 01:20:52,373 Speaker 3: were sold way way cheaper than All Birds, and the 1590 01:20:52,413 --> 01:20:55,693 Speaker 3: company kind of went on a trajectory where they were 1591 01:20:55,733 --> 01:21:00,933 Speaker 3: really trying to prioritize their eco credentials, so they wanted 1592 01:21:00,973 --> 01:21:04,293 Speaker 3: to have a shoe that could be carbon positive that 1593 01:21:04,333 --> 01:21:07,573 Speaker 3: effectively was putting more carbon, bringing more carbon out of 1594 01:21:07,573 --> 01:21:10,453 Speaker 3: the atmosphere than it was putting into it, and they 1595 01:21:10,533 --> 01:21:12,653 Speaker 3: really prioritized that as a message. But I don't know, 1596 01:21:12,693 --> 01:21:16,933 Speaker 3: it felt like they kind of slipped off the aesthetic 1597 01:21:17,013 --> 01:21:19,693 Speaker 3: side of things. So whereas they'd been the cool shoe 1598 01:21:19,733 --> 01:21:21,893 Speaker 3: to be seen wearing, all of a sudden, there were 1599 01:21:21,933 --> 01:21:24,733 Speaker 3: lots of shoes that looked very similar, and just because 1600 01:21:24,733 --> 01:21:26,773 Speaker 3: they'd been cool one minute, it didn't mean that they 1601 01:21:26,773 --> 01:21:30,733 Speaker 3: were able to stay cool. I mean, cool moves quickly. Again, 1602 01:21:30,813 --> 01:21:33,653 Speaker 3: I'm not an expert on this front, but cool moves quickly. 1603 01:21:33,693 --> 01:21:36,493 Speaker 3: And it feels like after that original shoe they never 1604 01:21:36,733 --> 01:21:42,133 Speaker 3: really quite nailed it ever again. And yeah, whereas once 1605 01:21:42,213 --> 01:21:43,653 Speaker 3: upon a time it was the thing to be seen 1606 01:21:43,693 --> 01:21:45,893 Speaker 3: wearing all birds, all of a sudden, it wasn't. And 1607 01:21:45,933 --> 01:21:48,053 Speaker 3: they've just never really been able to get that back. 1608 01:21:48,093 --> 01:21:52,093 Speaker 3: So I don't know. Maybe they prioritized the carbon stuff 1609 01:21:52,293 --> 01:21:56,293 Speaker 3: over the aesthetic fashion stuff maybe, or maybe it's just 1610 01:21:56,493 --> 01:22:00,013 Speaker 3: really really hard to have more than a one hit 1611 01:22:00,093 --> 01:22:03,773 Speaker 3: wonder when you are a fashion or apparel brand trying 1612 01:22:03,813 --> 01:22:06,333 Speaker 3: to break into a world where a few big companies 1613 01:22:06,413 --> 01:22:09,453 Speaker 3: dominate anything. But anyway, I felt really sad this week 1614 01:22:10,213 --> 01:22:12,573 Speaker 3: to see All Birds sold off for one percent of 1615 01:22:12,613 --> 01:22:15,893 Speaker 3: their previous valuation. I've still got a pair actually of 1616 01:22:15,973 --> 01:22:19,413 Speaker 3: All Birds. I think they are limited edition Bird of 1617 01:22:19,493 --> 01:22:23,093 Speaker 3: the Year Kia all Birds from I don't know five 1618 01:22:23,173 --> 01:22:25,213 Speaker 3: or seven years ago that I might hold on to. 1619 01:22:25,413 --> 01:22:28,773 Speaker 3: Like I say, they're still extremely comfortable. But yeah, that 1620 01:22:28,853 --> 01:22:31,253 Speaker 3: company not worth anything like it once was just a 1621 01:22:31,293 --> 01:22:33,973 Speaker 3: couple of years ago. Now before a day on news talks, 1622 01:22:34,013 --> 01:22:35,573 Speaker 3: he'd be We're going to have a listen to Arlo 1623 01:22:35,813 --> 01:22:38,973 Speaker 3: Park's brand new album.

So we'll play you some of Ambiguous Desire, 1626 01:22:47,813 --> 01:22:49,653 Speaker 3: which is the name of a new album before midday. 1627 01:22:49,693 --> 01:22:51,093 Speaker 3: As well as that, we've got your book picks for 1628 01:22:51,133 --> 01:22:59,133 Speaker 3: this weekend, including this fascinating new biography exploring the contest 1629 01:22:59,253 --> 01:23:03,893 Speaker 3: within the Murdoch family. It's called Bonfire of the Murdox. 1630 01:23:03,933 --> 01:23:07,013 Speaker 3: It looks at Rupert Murdoch's rise, but also the contest 1631 01:23:07,053 --> 01:23:09,893 Speaker 3: between his children to take over the Murdoch Empire. So 1632 01:23:09,893 --> 01:23:11,853 Speaker 3: we'll give you a few more details on that very shortly. 1633 01:23:11,973 --> 01:23:16,773 Speaker 3: Right now it is twelve minutes past eleven. Team Doogle 1634 01:23:16,813 --> 01:23:19,773 Speaker 3: Sutherland from Umbrella Well Being, our clinical psychologist, is with 1635 01:23:19,853 --> 01:23:24,013 Speaker 3: us this morning talking meaningful connections this Easter weekend.

You know, the 1640 01:23:34,573 --> 01:23:39,213 Speaker 9: connecting power of humor around laughing, And I think in 1641 01:23:39,293 --> 01:23:41,093 Speaker 9: this sort of day and age, the more that we 1642 01:23:41,173 --> 01:23:45,253 Speaker 9: can get connections with other people, the better. Frankly, I 1643 01:23:45,293 --> 01:23:48,653 Speaker 9: think it would help many many things in our lives 1644 01:23:48,733 --> 01:23:50,933 Speaker 9: and in our worldy. 1645 01:23:50,973 --> 01:23:53,773 Speaker 3: Isn't it of the digital age? We are more connected 1646 01:23:53,773 --> 01:23:56,133 Speaker 3: than ever and yet somehow less connected than ever. It 1647 01:23:56,213 --> 01:23:59,453 Speaker 3: is that this great tragedy of the of the technical 1648 01:23:59,493 --> 01:24:02,573 Speaker 3: and technological innovation of the last few decades. 1649 01:24:03,253 --> 01:24:07,293 Speaker 9: One hundred percent And this new survey from from two Degrees, 1650 01:24:07,453 --> 01:24:10,053 Speaker 9: it says exactly that they say, like two of the 1651 01:24:10,213 --> 01:24:14,853 Speaker 9: key finding sixty seven percent of us would like will 1652 01:24:15,213 --> 01:24:18,733 Speaker 9: say that a meaningful conversation is hard to come by. 1653 01:24:19,533 --> 01:24:23,373 Speaker 9: So that's two thirds of us saying that, And yet 1654 01:24:23,453 --> 01:24:27,293 Speaker 9: we are nine times more likely to scroll on our 1655 01:24:27,373 --> 01:24:29,773 Speaker 9: phones than to pick up the than to use the 1656 01:24:29,773 --> 01:24:32,693 Speaker 9: phone and actually call someone. So we're kind of this 1657 01:24:33,133 --> 01:24:35,573 Speaker 9: where where it paints a picture of sort of us 1658 01:24:35,613 --> 01:24:40,213 Speaker 9: desperately wanting human connection and just not kind of getting there. 1659 01:24:40,253 --> 01:24:43,053 Speaker 4: We just sort of get distracted by the. 1660 01:24:42,813 --> 01:24:45,133 Speaker 9: Phone and the well, not the phone. The phone's not 1661 01:24:45,133 --> 01:24:48,733 Speaker 9: the problem. It's the scrolling, really, and you get tied 1662 01:24:48,813 --> 01:24:53,133 Speaker 9: up in your social media and the endless scroll. You know, once, 1663 01:24:53,413 --> 01:24:55,853 Speaker 9: can you ever get to the bottom of your chosen 1664 01:24:55,893 --> 01:24:59,253 Speaker 9: social media platform? Probably not, But doing that at the 1665 01:24:59,373 --> 01:25:03,413 Speaker 9: expense of actually calling people and just having a meaningful conversation, 1666 01:25:03,573 --> 01:25:05,973 Speaker 9: which is I think so much more important than just 1667 01:25:06,413 --> 01:25:08,173 Speaker 9: alling around on your social media. 1668 01:25:08,253 --> 01:25:10,893 Speaker 3: So I reckon there are a couple of upsides to it, like, 1669 01:25:10,973 --> 01:25:15,813 Speaker 3: for example, I think one of the great things for connectivity, 1670 01:25:15,853 --> 01:25:18,133 Speaker 3: at least in my experience. I mean, obviously it's easier 1671 01:25:18,133 --> 01:25:19,973 Speaker 3: to keep in touch with people who are overseas and 1672 01:25:20,013 --> 01:25:21,813 Speaker 3: you know, that kind of thing that was in the past. 1673 01:25:22,413 --> 01:25:24,733 Speaker 3: But one thing I really like is in our family, 1674 01:25:24,733 --> 01:25:27,933 Speaker 3: we run a we have a WhatsApp chat. Yeah, we 1675 01:25:27,973 --> 01:25:29,933 Speaker 3: can all kind of contribute to it, and it does 1676 01:25:30,173 --> 01:25:32,693 Speaker 3: seem to me, like it's really easy for the family 1677 01:25:32,773 --> 01:25:37,493 Speaker 3: to have kind of family wide communication in a way 1678 01:25:37,533 --> 01:25:40,093 Speaker 3: that we never were able to before, and that there 1679 01:25:40,133 --> 01:25:42,573 Speaker 3: is something meaningful on that. Like even for example, like 1680 01:25:42,613 --> 01:25:46,493 Speaker 3: we just share like silly photos or you know, like 1681 01:25:46,573 --> 01:25:49,853 Speaker 3: in jokes. WhatsApp Chat is a really good place for 1682 01:25:49,893 --> 01:25:52,573 Speaker 3: sharing in jokes, and that is meaningful connection. But like 1683 01:25:52,613 --> 01:25:55,493 Speaker 3: you say, like the number of times I speak on 1684 01:25:55,493 --> 01:25:58,773 Speaker 3: the phone compared to what we were dound twenty years ago, 1685 01:25:59,213 --> 01:26:01,893 Speaker 3: compared to a text or something, Yeah, it's. 1686 01:26:03,773 --> 01:26:04,173 Speaker 8: I agree. 1687 01:26:04,253 --> 01:26:08,413 Speaker 9: I think those sort of things, like the texts and 1688 01:26:06,733 --> 01:26:10,413 Speaker 9: and the social media stuff a bit like I always 1689 01:26:10,413 --> 01:26:12,733 Speaker 9: think they're a bit like postcards. You know, back in 1690 01:26:12,733 --> 01:26:14,333 Speaker 9: the day, you would send a postcard and it's just 1691 01:26:14,373 --> 01:26:16,933 Speaker 9: an update on what my life is like. But it's 1692 01:26:17,013 --> 01:26:22,173 Speaker 9: not really that interactive communicate that interactive thing, and sure 1693 01:26:22,173 --> 01:26:25,413 Speaker 9: it can supplement it. But interesting this two degrees studies 1694 01:26:25,453 --> 01:26:28,533 Speaker 9: said that seventy cent of it, seventy seven sorry percent 1695 01:26:28,573 --> 01:26:31,773 Speaker 9: of us feel better after we've had a phone call 1696 01:26:31,813 --> 01:26:34,413 Speaker 9: with a loved one. So it does have that payoff, 1697 01:26:34,893 --> 01:26:37,173 Speaker 9: I think. And you know, if you've been catching up 1698 01:26:37,213 --> 01:26:39,533 Speaker 9: with you know, if you've been monitoring people via social 1699 01:26:39,973 --> 01:26:42,213 Speaker 9: media monitoring is possibly not the right word, sounds of 1700 01:26:42,213 --> 01:26:43,973 Speaker 9: it sort of nineteen eighty fourst But keeping up with 1701 01:26:44,013 --> 01:26:45,653 Speaker 9: them then you've got more to chat about when you 1702 01:26:45,653 --> 01:26:50,093 Speaker 9: actually do ring them and have a call. But it's 1703 01:26:50,533 --> 01:26:53,493 Speaker 9: and the sad news too, is that it seems worse 1704 01:26:53,613 --> 01:26:57,733 Speaker 9: for gen Z. Gen Z reports sort of higher rates 1705 01:26:57,893 --> 01:27:03,533 Speaker 9: of of having meaningful conversations and even higher rates of 1706 01:27:03,613 --> 01:27:05,573 Speaker 9: feeling better when they actually talk on the phone, and 1707 01:27:05,733 --> 01:27:09,453 Speaker 9: they probably scre rolling more than the rest of us. 1708 01:27:09,973 --> 01:27:12,053 Speaker 9: But I would say when I read that, I thought 1709 01:27:12,653 --> 01:27:16,453 Speaker 9: it's easy to bag on gen Z. But I remember, 1710 01:27:16,453 --> 01:27:18,133 Speaker 9: and I was talking about this to somebody in the 1711 01:27:18,173 --> 01:27:21,773 Speaker 9: office during the week. I remember my first job when 1712 01:27:21,813 --> 01:27:24,533 Speaker 9: I was sort of early twenties, and the anxiety that 1713 01:27:24,733 --> 01:27:26,893 Speaker 9: was filled with actually having to make a phone call 1714 01:27:26,973 --> 01:27:30,493 Speaker 9: to somebody. It was like, oh, and you know you'd 1715 01:27:30,493 --> 01:27:33,013 Speaker 9: write it down. My name is Dourgle and I am 1716 01:27:33,013 --> 01:27:36,213 Speaker 9: a clinical and you know it it all written down 1717 01:27:36,373 --> 01:27:38,333 Speaker 9: so that I could And there's nothing better for social 1718 01:27:38,333 --> 01:27:46,653 Speaker 9: communications and reading out a scripted So I think that's 1719 01:27:46,653 --> 01:27:50,093 Speaker 9: a bit of a generational thing, and actually the survey 1720 01:27:50,173 --> 01:27:51,933 Speaker 9: results kind of backed that up. But by saying that 1721 01:27:51,973 --> 01:27:55,653 Speaker 9: people often don't call because I think I might interrupt somebody, 1722 01:27:56,133 --> 01:27:57,893 Speaker 9: or you know, it might not be okay for them, 1723 01:27:57,973 --> 01:28:00,813 Speaker 9: or they might not know who I am. But you know, 1724 01:28:00,853 --> 01:28:02,613 Speaker 9: you can always text that stuff and you know, say 1725 01:28:02,653 --> 01:28:04,413 Speaker 9: hey is it you know you called to talk now, 1726 01:28:04,533 --> 01:28:06,333 Speaker 9: or this is who I am, and then follow it 1727 01:28:06,453 --> 01:28:07,333 Speaker 9: up with a phone call. 1728 01:28:07,453 --> 01:28:09,333 Speaker 4: So yeah. 1729 01:28:09,373 --> 01:28:11,093 Speaker 3: But the funny thing is that I would also say 1730 01:28:11,133 --> 01:28:13,373 Speaker 3: that even though we don't speak on the phone as much, 1731 01:28:13,453 --> 01:28:17,053 Speaker 3: when when you do have good conversations, because the barriers 1732 01:28:17,093 --> 01:28:21,173 Speaker 3: to communication is so much lower than they yeahs and everything, 1733 01:28:21,253 --> 01:28:25,253 Speaker 3: you can actually like I'll happily just ring someone sometimes yes, 1734 01:28:25,533 --> 01:28:27,253 Speaker 3: and they'll be like, hey, I've got like three minutes 1735 01:28:27,293 --> 01:28:28,653 Speaker 3: and then I got a shoot and nobody like yeah, 1736 01:28:28,693 --> 01:28:30,773 Speaker 3: you're good, you know.

Yeah yeah, but I don't think 1789 01:30:49,533 --> 01:30:52,573 Speaker 9: it's used anymore, so it's not particularly helpful at all, 1790 01:30:52,613 --> 01:30:54,693 Speaker 9: but it's it's embedded in my long term memory. 1791 01:30:55,013 --> 01:30:57,653 Speaker 3: I've got that same feeling with our childhood phone number. 1792 01:30:57,653 --> 01:31:00,653 Speaker 3: In fact, every time I you know, even like we'll 1793 01:31:00,693 --> 01:31:03,933 Speaker 3: go through stuff that's kind of survived, you know, the generations, 1794 01:31:04,013 --> 01:31:07,373 Speaker 3: be it bookboards or tramping pa and that kind of thing, 1795 01:31:07,453 --> 01:31:13,053 Speaker 3: and often in huge letters burned in with the most permanent, 1796 01:31:13,213 --> 01:31:15,573 Speaker 3: permanent markets as much after the phone number. You know, 1797 01:31:16,053 --> 01:31:18,773 Speaker 3: I'm like that great, I'm really glad that dad did this. 1798 01:31:18,933 --> 01:31:22,613 Speaker 9: Because yeah, we get little We used to get printed 1799 01:31:22,653 --> 01:31:24,773 Speaker 9: out labels, I think, and you could sew them, you know, 1800 01:31:24,893 --> 01:31:27,213 Speaker 9: your mum would sew them into your clothes with so 1801 01:31:27,333 --> 01:31:29,333 Speaker 9: that it had your surname and your phone number on 1802 01:31:29,413 --> 01:31:31,853 Speaker 9: the back of your school jersey in case in case 1803 01:31:31,893 --> 01:31:35,533 Speaker 9: you lost it, which at some point, but no, we 1804 01:31:35,573 --> 01:31:37,533 Speaker 9: don't do really that much anymore. 1805 01:31:37,573 --> 01:31:39,613 Speaker 3: So yeah, that's so good.

Twenty one past eleven. 1812 01:31:57,733 --> 01:32:00,933 Speaker 4: Travel with Wendy wo Tours where the world is yours 1813 01:32:01,133 --> 01:32:01,573 Speaker 4: for now. 1814 01:32:02,453 --> 01:32:05,653 Speaker 3: Travel correspondence Mike Yardly, he's taking us to the Las 1815 01:32:05,813 --> 01:32:08,933 Speaker 3: Vegas have arted this morning for the latest and greatest 1816 01:32:09,013 --> 01:32:11,053 Speaker 3: in Sin City. And it's not the sort of place 1817 01:32:11,133 --> 01:32:13,093 Speaker 3: that rests on its laurels, is it, mate? 1818 01:32:14,093 --> 01:32:16,693 Speaker 18: This is very true, Jack, Yes, I was thinking Vegas 1819 01:32:16,853 --> 01:32:20,253 Speaker 18: is more like a globulous shape shifting organism. 1820 01:32:20,453 --> 01:32:24,053 Speaker 4: You know, it's always it's always on the search for biggest. 1821 01:32:23,853 --> 01:32:28,573 Speaker 3: Prescribed as globulus, isn't it. This is very true. 1822 01:32:28,613 --> 01:32:31,693 Speaker 18: But I mean the latest Star specimen, which I checked 1823 01:32:31,733 --> 01:32:34,973 Speaker 18: out a couple of weeks ago, is undeniably the Sphere. 1824 01:32:35,853 --> 01:32:38,213 Speaker 18: I've heard a lot about the Sphere and it really 1825 01:32:38,413 --> 01:32:42,013 Speaker 18: is quite trippy. So they are saying in Vegas this 1826 01:32:42,173 --> 01:32:45,173 Speaker 18: is the entertainment venue of the future because it's just 1827 01:32:45,253 --> 01:32:49,453 Speaker 18: got so much immersive technology. And interestingly, Jacob, you are 1828 01:32:49,493 --> 01:32:52,173 Speaker 18: going there in the next few months. I noticed the Eagles, 1829 01:32:52,253 --> 01:32:56,133 Speaker 18: Backstreet Boys, and Metallica all have residencies in the Sphere 1830 01:32:57,133 --> 01:32:59,093 Speaker 18: over the next few months. But even if you don't 1831 01:32:59,213 --> 01:33:05,253 Speaker 18: venture inside what is the world's largest spherical structure, it's 1832 01:33:05,293 --> 01:33:09,093 Speaker 18: from the outside that it's just so remarkable. So that 1833 01:33:09,293 --> 01:33:13,973 Speaker 18: exterior skin, which they call the Exo Sphere. Yeah, it's 1834 01:33:14,053 --> 01:33:16,693 Speaker 18: become the greatest advertising billboard in the world and it 1835 01:33:16,853 --> 01:33:20,493 Speaker 18: is just positively eye popping to see in the flesh. 1836 01:33:20,933 --> 01:33:24,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks amazing, Like I really, It's one of 1837 01:33:24,693 --> 01:33:28,973 Speaker 3: those things where like just I constantly, you know, I 1838 01:33:29,133 --> 01:33:31,653 Speaker 3: often think about wanting to go there, and not for 1839 01:33:31,693 --> 01:33:33,573 Speaker 3: the rest of the city, but just to experience the 1840 01:33:33,653 --> 01:33:37,213 Speaker 3: sphere itself, because it does look extraordinary. I'm always amazed 1841 01:33:37,253 --> 01:33:39,693 Speaker 3: that they don't like accidentally bring down planes and things. 1842 01:33:39,733 --> 01:33:43,493 Speaker 3: That's so bright, you know. Anyway, what about the strip 1843 01:33:43,533 --> 01:33:46,333 Speaker 3: itself has that smart and dantec Does it change at all? 1844 01:33:47,533 --> 01:33:47,973 Speaker 5: Interesting? 1845 01:33:48,053 --> 01:33:50,733 Speaker 18: Yeah, because it's been ten years since I was last 1846 01:33:50,773 --> 01:33:54,333 Speaker 18: in Vegas and the whole scene feels cleaner and classier, 1847 01:33:54,973 --> 01:33:57,533 Speaker 18: and without being too judgy, I think it is that 1848 01:33:57,773 --> 01:34:01,093 Speaker 18: Vegas has decided we're not just going to pander to 1849 01:34:01,213 --> 01:34:06,213 Speaker 18: the Singleton Shorts brigade. And by the way, Robotax is 1850 01:34:06,373 --> 01:34:08,013 Speaker 18: as you will know, Jack, they're on the March in 1851 01:34:08,093 --> 01:34:11,293 Speaker 18: the US. If you're heading to Vegas, take a ride 1852 01:34:11,373 --> 01:34:14,293 Speaker 18: in a Zooks. So this is not a car, it's 1853 01:34:14,413 --> 01:34:17,933 Speaker 18: more like a glass cabin on wheels and it will 1854 01:34:18,133 --> 01:34:21,253 Speaker 18: just zip you all over sin city with autonomous Precision. 1855 01:34:21,293 --> 01:34:24,013 Speaker 18: It's an Amazon product, but Vegas is one of the 1856 01:34:24,053 --> 01:34:28,293 Speaker 18: two test cities. Sanfran Is also been used at the moment, 1857 01:34:28,373 --> 01:34:30,893 Speaker 18: and you can hail a ride with the zooks for 1858 01:34:31,133 --> 01:34:33,693 Speaker 18: free at the moment with the app. So I think 1859 01:34:33,733 --> 01:34:37,293 Speaker 18: they're offering free rides this year in Vegas. So yes, 1860 01:34:37,333 --> 01:34:37,853 Speaker 18: super cool. 1861 01:34:38,333 --> 01:34:41,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great. I suppose it's to try and help 1862 01:34:41,373 --> 01:34:43,613 Speaker 3: its machine learning and all that kind of thing. But then, yes, 1863 01:34:44,053 --> 01:34:45,693 Speaker 3: sound like a bit of fun. Vegas is making a 1864 01:34:45,733 --> 01:34:47,213 Speaker 3: big move into the sports market to. 1865 01:34:48,693 --> 01:34:49,093 Speaker 4: Massive. 1866 01:34:49,293 --> 01:34:51,693 Speaker 18: Yeah, so obviously people will know about the F one 1867 01:34:51,853 --> 01:34:54,693 Speaker 18: that street circuit down the strip that's become such a 1868 01:34:54,773 --> 01:34:59,413 Speaker 18: highlight on the F one roster. Allegiant Stadium, Oh my goodness, 1869 01:34:59,733 --> 01:35:02,893 Speaker 18: what a venue. Go and check out Allegiant Stadium on 1870 01:35:02,973 --> 01:35:05,773 Speaker 18: a tour. They hosted Super Bowl two years ago and 1871 01:35:06,013 --> 01:35:09,613 Speaker 18: this it's just been confirmed they will host Super Bowl 1872 01:35:09,853 --> 01:35:13,853 Speaker 18: again in two years time. And across the road from 1873 01:35:13,973 --> 01:35:18,493 Speaker 18: Ndolai Bejack, I was gazing over a four billion dollar 1874 01:35:18,853 --> 01:35:24,373 Speaker 18: basketball arena which is currently been constructed. So they're expanding 1875 01:35:24,493 --> 01:35:28,093 Speaker 18: the NBA league and Vegas is gunning to get a team, 1876 01:35:28,573 --> 01:35:32,173 Speaker 18: you know, sort of home base for this glitzy new arena. 1877 01:35:32,293 --> 01:35:35,933 Speaker 18: So yeah, Live Sport is definitely the new god in 1878 01:35:36,093 --> 01:35:36,613 Speaker 18: Sin City. 1879 01:35:37,293 --> 01:35:39,973 Speaker 3: What are the best free attractions in Las Vegas? 1880 01:35:41,213 --> 01:35:45,333 Speaker 18: Yeah, well, for all the latest bling the classics, they 1881 01:35:45,453 --> 01:35:49,373 Speaker 18: still resonate, and none more so than those Billagio fountains. 1882 01:35:49,453 --> 01:35:52,493 Speaker 18: There are plenty of imitations around the world. I'm looking 1883 01:35:52,573 --> 01:35:56,293 Speaker 18: at you do Bai, but you cannot beat the original. 1884 01:35:56,413 --> 01:35:59,333 Speaker 18: And I was just watching the crowd, you know, thousands 1885 01:35:59,413 --> 01:36:02,533 Speaker 18: and thousands of people just stopping in their tracks to 1886 01:36:02,613 --> 01:36:07,333 Speaker 18: watch these incredible dancing fountains. They are gorge There are 1887 01:36:07,533 --> 01:36:11,613 Speaker 18: so many free attractions in the Strip hotels. My favorite 1888 01:36:11,653 --> 01:36:15,413 Speaker 18: would actually be The Fall of atlanis animatronics show, which 1889 01:36:15,493 --> 01:36:19,733 Speaker 18: you can find inside Caesar's Palace. I used to love 1890 01:36:19,893 --> 01:36:24,813 Speaker 18: watching the volcano erupting outside the mirage. I was sad 1891 01:36:24,893 --> 01:36:27,573 Speaker 18: to discover a couple of weeks ago that's gone. It's 1892 01:36:27,653 --> 01:36:31,333 Speaker 18: been bold, but taking its place is the new hard 1893 01:36:31,453 --> 01:36:35,973 Speaker 18: rock Hotel Jack, and they are building a fifty story 1894 01:36:36,613 --> 01:36:38,933 Speaker 18: guitar shaped at tower as you. 1895 01:36:38,973 --> 01:36:42,773 Speaker 3: Do yees, yeah, I mean even just the people watching 1896 01:36:42,813 --> 01:36:46,373 Speaker 3: it going out on the watching. Yeah, you certainly get 1897 01:36:46,453 --> 01:36:49,853 Speaker 3: some color, to say the least. So for oddes school vibes. 1898 01:36:49,933 --> 01:36:51,733 Speaker 3: What hotels on the stats did you check out? 1899 01:36:53,133 --> 01:36:56,773 Speaker 18: Well, all things Elvis is trending. So if you want 1900 01:36:56,813 --> 01:37:00,733 Speaker 18: to check out the hotel where he notoriously performed night 1901 01:37:00,773 --> 01:37:03,253 Speaker 18: after night, year after year and the lead up to 1902 01:37:03,373 --> 01:37:07,373 Speaker 18: his death, go to the West Kate Hotel formerly known 1903 01:37:07,413 --> 01:37:10,613 Speaker 18: as the International, now known as Westgate. You can even 1904 01:37:10,693 --> 01:37:13,413 Speaker 18: stay in the Elvis Suite where he was domiciled for 1905 01:37:13,533 --> 01:37:17,413 Speaker 18: seven years. I noticed Barry Manilow is currently doing a 1906 01:37:17,493 --> 01:37:18,653 Speaker 18: residency at the Westgate. 1907 01:37:18,773 --> 01:37:22,493 Speaker 4: Jack and I also love the Flamingo. They do have 1908 01:37:22,693 --> 01:37:25,373 Speaker 4: flamingos in the garden, although. 1909 01:37:25,053 --> 01:37:27,333 Speaker 18: When I was there a couple of weeks ago, Yeah, 1910 01:37:27,453 --> 01:37:31,933 Speaker 18: a drunk Canadian tourist kidnapped two of the birds. So 1911 01:37:33,333 --> 01:37:38,013 Speaker 18: security is rather tight at the Flamingo. And Mobster Bugsy 1912 01:37:38,293 --> 01:37:42,933 Speaker 18: Siegel actually established this hotel, the Flamingo just before he 1913 01:37:43,173 --> 01:37:46,773 Speaker 18: was assassinated. So there's just a bucket load of history 1914 01:37:46,813 --> 01:37:47,533 Speaker 18: at the Flamingo. 1915 01:37:47,653 --> 01:37:51,453 Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing. So speaking of history, Fremont Street in downtown 1916 01:37:51,973 --> 01:37:53,333 Speaker 3: is that worth a jawnne. 1917 01:37:54,173 --> 01:37:57,613 Speaker 18: Yeah, dip into vintage Las Vegas. This is where the 1918 01:37:57,693 --> 01:38:01,773 Speaker 18: first bursts of blazing neon and casinos were established. It 1919 01:38:01,973 --> 01:38:05,773 Speaker 18: does have a ceed vibe, to be honest, but there 1920 01:38:05,853 --> 01:38:09,013 Speaker 18: are a lot of cheap thrills, like that slot Zilla 1921 01:38:09,213 --> 01:38:12,653 Speaker 18: zip line experience. So you can actually fly right above 1922 01:38:13,173 --> 01:38:17,533 Speaker 18: the original cluster of casino hotels and Fremont Street, and 1923 01:38:17,653 --> 01:38:21,853 Speaker 18: the whole thing has been encased by this massive canopy 1924 01:38:22,413 --> 01:38:27,533 Speaker 18: which stretches for four blocks along Fremont Street and around 1925 01:38:27,573 --> 01:38:30,813 Speaker 18: the clock. That canopy sort of sets the stage for 1926 01:38:30,973 --> 01:38:33,093 Speaker 18: a very trippy sound and light show. So yeah, a 1927 01:38:33,133 --> 01:38:35,733 Speaker 18: lot of cheap thrills downtown in Las Vegas. 1928 01:38:36,093 --> 01:38:38,373 Speaker 3: And if you're into museums, we is good for a nosing. 1929 01:38:39,693 --> 01:38:41,013 Speaker 18: Two super quick tips. 1930 01:38:41,133 --> 01:38:43,253 Speaker 4: The Mob Museum is a cracker. 1931 01:38:43,413 --> 01:38:47,653 Speaker 18: It's writ large with macarbon sights into the vice like 1932 01:38:47,893 --> 01:38:51,653 Speaker 18: grip the Mob had on Vegas and maybe still does. 1933 01:38:52,333 --> 01:38:56,333 Speaker 18: And I do adore the Neon Museum jackets where iconic 1934 01:38:56,413 --> 01:39:00,413 Speaker 18: hotel signs go to die, laid to rest and freshly 1935 01:39:00,573 --> 01:39:04,493 Speaker 18: lit before the buildings are demolished, like the Mirage Hotel 1936 01:39:04,573 --> 01:39:06,853 Speaker 18: in My Volcano's very good. 1937 01:39:07,133 --> 01:39:08,933 Speaker 3: That sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah, I've got 1938 01:39:09,013 --> 01:39:12,413 Speaker 3: to get there. I haven't been there in oh probably 1939 01:39:12,493 --> 01:39:14,413 Speaker 3: ten years, as well as probably ten years since I 1940 01:39:14,453 --> 01:39:17,013 Speaker 3: was lasting Vegas. I feel like Vegas is like great 1941 01:39:17,173 --> 01:39:20,733 Speaker 3: for forty eight hours.

And 1945 01:39:26,573 --> 01:39:29,013 Speaker 3: now with the sphere, I really must get there. I 1946 01:39:29,053 --> 01:39:31,933 Speaker 3: would love to see that.

Fairwelling 1960 01:40:11,213 --> 01:40:14,493 Speaker 3: Apolo Stadium one of those funny places for Crusaders fans 1961 01:40:14,533 --> 01:40:17,853 Speaker 3: Pioneer that they sort of have mixed memories because the 1962 01:40:17,893 --> 01:40:22,413 Speaker 3: Crusaders have had some extraordinary performances over the years, the 1963 01:40:22,533 --> 01:40:24,573 Speaker 3: least of which, of course, being last night's went over 1964 01:40:24,653 --> 01:40:27,293 Speaker 3: the drawer. I mean, they've won Super Rugby titles, they've 1965 01:40:27,293 --> 01:40:32,173 Speaker 3: done all sorts, but it's hardly the best rugby viewing experience. 1966 01:40:32,573 --> 01:40:34,373 Speaker 19: Now I think we get a bit misty, I don't 1967 01:40:34,373 --> 01:40:36,573 Speaker 19: we a bit romantic when it all comes to an end. 1968 01:40:36,733 --> 01:40:39,013 Speaker 19: And there were amazing scenes there last night, jack with 1969 01:40:39,453 --> 01:40:41,453 Speaker 19: you know, people led onto the ground and sort of, 1970 01:40:41,493 --> 01:40:45,533 Speaker 19: you know, for the last time, probably wandering over that surface. 1971 01:40:45,573 --> 01:40:47,413 Speaker 19: It was supposed to be temporary, wasn't it when it 1972 01:40:47,493 --> 01:40:49,653 Speaker 19: was stood up in twenty twelve in the wake of 1973 01:40:49,693 --> 01:40:52,253 Speaker 19: the earthquakes. But here we are fourteen years later, and 1974 01:40:53,013 --> 01:40:55,653 Speaker 19: it has I guess you'd say stood the test of time. 1975 01:40:55,853 --> 01:40:59,693 Speaker 19: They would freely admit it doesn't have the facilities for players, responsors, 1976 01:40:59,733 --> 01:41:02,813 Speaker 19: for media, for fans that the new stadium will have, 1977 01:41:03,093 --> 01:41:06,093 Speaker 19: but it has come to represent something I think greater 1978 01:41:06,173 --> 01:41:09,653 Speaker 19: than just to rugby ground. It unified the city again 1979 01:41:09,733 --> 01:41:12,493 Speaker 19: and brought them together and brought them pockets of joy 1980 01:41:12,613 --> 01:41:15,613 Speaker 19: when they badly needed them. And no other, no other, 1981 01:41:15,773 --> 01:41:19,773 Speaker 19: No Crusaders player, No modern day Crusaders player knows anywhere else. 1982 01:41:19,853 --> 01:41:22,093 Speaker 19: None of the current guys ever played it the old 1983 01:41:22,173 --> 01:41:25,053 Speaker 19: Lancaster Park. They have all had all of their Crusaders 1984 01:41:25,133 --> 01:41:29,133 Speaker 19: experience on that ground. So yeah, I'm quite looking forward 1985 01:41:29,133 --> 01:41:32,173 Speaker 19: to chatting to CEO of the club Colin Mansbridge after 1986 01:41:32,253 --> 01:41:34,413 Speaker 19: midday and then perhaps taking some people's memories, do we 1987 01:41:34,533 --> 01:41:37,613 Speaker 19: you know, Like I say, it's it's easy to get 1988 01:41:37,693 --> 01:41:40,173 Speaker 19: misty eyed about these things and forget the fact that 1989 01:41:40,373 --> 01:41:42,733 Speaker 19: sometimes it was just bloody cold there, you know, to 1990 01:41:42,893 --> 01:41:45,213 Speaker 19: watch the game of right, yeah. 1991 01:41:45,333 --> 01:41:47,973 Speaker 3: You know what, it did have one one thing that 1992 01:41:48,533 --> 01:41:50,893 Speaker 3: really had going for it, and that was that the 1993 01:41:51,693 --> 01:41:55,213 Speaker 3: fans were on top of the game. Yes, I really 1994 01:41:55,413 --> 01:41:57,653 Speaker 3: like going to a ground where you are close to 1995 01:41:57,733 --> 01:42:00,853 Speaker 3: the pitch. Yep, it makes a huge difference, I reckon 1996 01:42:00,933 --> 01:42:03,613 Speaker 3: a and some having some, don't you know. Even I 1997 01:42:03,733 --> 01:42:05,693 Speaker 3: was at owned Eden Park for the All Whites on 1998 01:42:05,773 --> 01:42:08,173 Speaker 3: Monday with the nine year old, which was a fantastic 1999 01:42:08,213 --> 01:42:11,173 Speaker 3: occasion by the way, And I know the Chilean's didn't 2000 01:42:11,173 --> 01:42:13,813 Speaker 3: get the night they wanted. The Chilean fans didn't get 2001 01:42:13,813 --> 01:42:16,933 Speaker 3: the night they wanted, but as fans, they probably put 2002 01:42:16,973 --> 01:42:19,693 Speaker 3: the new Zealand fans to shame when it comes to 2003 01:42:19,733 --> 01:42:23,293 Speaker 3: singing in yahooing, et cetera. But one of the reflections 2004 01:42:23,333 --> 01:42:26,493 Speaker 3: I had was that, you know, even at a place 2005 01:42:26,573 --> 01:42:31,133 Speaker 3: like Eden Park, you're still you're not quite on the pitch. Yeah, 2006 01:42:31,213 --> 01:42:33,053 Speaker 3: and it's just it's really it's a great fing and 2007 01:42:33,093 --> 01:42:34,453 Speaker 3: at least they sometimes you know, they bring in some 2008 01:42:34,493 --> 01:42:35,933 Speaker 3: of the temporary seats and that sort of thing for 2009 01:42:35,973 --> 01:42:38,293 Speaker 3: the big test, but it is it is really nice 2010 01:42:38,293 --> 01:42:40,013 Speaker 3: to be right on the ground. You see it sometimes 2011 01:42:40,053 --> 01:42:43,573 Speaker 3: in the English Premier League and stuff, right where the 2012 01:42:43,653 --> 01:42:46,093 Speaker 3: players can basically just dive into the stands if they will. 2013 01:42:46,213 --> 01:42:46,373 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2014 01:42:46,653 --> 01:42:49,493 Speaker 19: Yeah, rectangular, rectangular shape is the main thing. I mean 2015 01:42:49,533 --> 01:42:51,933 Speaker 19: Dunedan's done it very well. When you go to forsythe bar, 2016 01:42:52,093 --> 01:42:53,933 Speaker 19: that's how you feel you're right on top of it. 2017 01:42:54,213 --> 01:42:57,533 Speaker 19: And thing we'll do that too, yeah, well it will. Yeah. 2018 01:42:57,613 --> 01:43:01,093 Speaker 19: So so memories of Addington after midday to day and 2019 01:43:01,173 --> 01:43:03,653 Speaker 19: also why are there only three games over Easter weekend? 2020 01:43:04,413 --> 01:43:06,653 Speaker 19: Jack Mesley you have the competition and to on his 2021 01:43:06,773 --> 01:43:09,253 Speaker 19: son on that and Darren basically speaking of the all Whites, 2022 01:43:09,333 --> 01:43:11,053 Speaker 19: but later on how is he going to narrow down 2023 01:43:11,373 --> 01:43:14,213 Speaker 19: his squad for the World Cup to twenty six because 2024 01:43:14,253 --> 01:43:16,653 Speaker 19: there are more than twenty six good players now at 2025 01:43:16,693 --> 01:43:19,173 Speaker 19: his disposal. How's he going to decide who gets a 2026 01:43:19,253 --> 01:43:21,253 Speaker 19: seat on the plane and who doesn't. So Darren basely 2027 01:43:21,293 --> 01:43:23,373 Speaker 19: with us after two o'clock this afternoon. 2028 01:43:23,093 --> 01:43:24,253 Speaker 3: Jack, When does he have to make the call? 2029 01:43:25,013 --> 01:43:27,373 Speaker 19: Mid May is when he's going to make it. They 2030 01:43:27,413 --> 01:43:29,733 Speaker 19: don't have to make it until I think early year. 2031 01:43:30,253 --> 01:43:34,053 Speaker 19: But yeah, because they've got a couple of warm up 2032 01:43:34,093 --> 01:43:36,773 Speaker 19: games over in the States in early June and he's 2033 01:43:36,813 --> 01:43:38,693 Speaker 19: going to take his World Cup squad there, So mid 2034 01:43:38,933 --> 01:43:40,213 Speaker 19: May I'll ask him. Hey, she'll see if I can 2035 01:43:40,213 --> 01:43:40,733 Speaker 19: give us a date. 2036 01:43:41,013 --> 01:43:43,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, good, oh great, Thank you, sir.

How good? 2045 01:44:08,893 --> 01:44:12,453 Speaker 10: We sure are looking forward to some interesting weather in Queenstown. 2046 01:44:12,573 --> 01:44:14,253 Speaker 10: But you know, it's always such a beautiful place. 2047 01:44:14,293 --> 01:44:16,133 Speaker 3: It should be fun, do you know, I reckon that's 2048 01:44:16,173 --> 01:44:19,973 Speaker 3: one of the part of the South Island where often 2049 01:44:20,053 --> 01:44:22,053 Speaker 3: the experience is better if you have a bit of 2050 01:44:22,093 --> 01:44:25,293 Speaker 3: wild weather. You know, if it's perfect and dry, then 2051 01:44:25,373 --> 01:44:29,293 Speaker 3: you know, that's that's sure, that has its attractions and pleasantries. 2052 01:44:29,333 --> 01:44:31,573 Speaker 3: But actually sometimes if it's a bit wild, you know, 2053 01:44:32,213 --> 01:44:35,333 Speaker 3: it adds another kind of dimension. So yeah, so long 2054 01:44:35,373 --> 01:44:35,933 Speaker 3: as you get. 2055 01:44:35,813 --> 01:44:40,253 Speaker 10: In yes, absolutely absolutely, and you're right, lake Walker Tapoo 2056 01:44:40,373 --> 01:44:42,293 Speaker 10: and wild weather is quite amazing. 2057 01:44:42,493 --> 01:44:44,453 Speaker 3: It's pretty something. Yeah, yeah, all right. Hey, we've got 2058 01:44:44,493 --> 01:44:47,253 Speaker 3: a couple of reads that sound fantastic this weekend. I 2059 01:44:47,373 --> 01:44:49,533 Speaker 3: am fascinated by the sound of your first book for 2060 01:44:49,653 --> 01:44:51,773 Speaker 3: us this morning. So tell us about Bonfire of the 2061 01:44:51,893 --> 01:44:53,613 Speaker 3: Murdochs by gabriel Sherman. 2062 01:44:54,893 --> 01:44:58,053 Speaker 10: So this is Robert Murdoch's story, and he's now ninety 2063 01:44:58,133 --> 01:45:04,053 Speaker 10: four and worth twenty three billion dollars Rupert Murdoch, yes 2064 01:45:06,133 --> 01:45:12,133 Speaker 10: from yeah, right, And so the American juris Gabrielle Sherman 2065 01:45:12,293 --> 01:45:14,693 Speaker 10: has been reporting on the Murdoch family for the last 2066 01:45:15,093 --> 01:45:17,933 Speaker 10: couple of decades and he's interviewed all of them over 2067 01:45:18,493 --> 01:45:21,053 Speaker 10: those years. And the thing I found really interesting about 2068 01:45:21,093 --> 01:45:23,813 Speaker 10: this book is I didn't realize that Robert Murdock actually 2069 01:45:23,893 --> 01:45:28,253 Speaker 10: inherited this media empire from his father, Sir Keith Murdock, 2070 01:45:28,773 --> 01:45:32,293 Speaker 10: and so he grew up around the Herald newsroomman and 2071 01:45:32,413 --> 01:45:35,413 Speaker 10: all of that kind of journalism side of things, and 2072 01:45:35,933 --> 01:45:38,253 Speaker 10: he really wanted to join the Herald straight after he 2073 01:45:38,453 --> 01:45:41,533 Speaker 10: graduated from high school, and his father actually insisted he 2074 01:45:41,813 --> 01:45:44,933 Speaker 10: went to Oxford and so he works in different newspapers 2075 01:45:44,933 --> 01:45:49,733 Speaker 10: as well after he finishes as Oxford. But the real 2076 01:45:49,853 --> 01:45:52,893 Speaker 10: style of that whole Murdoch style of journalism, which actually 2077 01:45:52,973 --> 01:45:56,853 Speaker 10: his father was really like as well, and it's probably 2078 01:45:56,973 --> 01:45:59,733 Speaker 10: revealed in the book most by the phone hacking scandal, 2079 01:45:59,773 --> 01:46:01,853 Speaker 10: which I'm sure most people kind of remember about the 2080 01:46:01,933 --> 01:46:06,173 Speaker 10: news of the world, where they were listening to individuals 2081 01:46:06,213 --> 01:46:09,613 Speaker 10: and private messages and breaking into the phones of famous 2082 01:46:09,653 --> 01:46:12,773 Speaker 10: people and also really vulnerable people, you know, people had 2083 01:46:12,773 --> 01:46:17,293 Speaker 10: been victims of attacks and bereaved parents, and Murdoch just 2084 01:46:17,733 --> 01:46:20,493 Speaker 10: kind of sums him up really when he denied kind 2085 01:46:20,493 --> 01:46:23,533 Speaker 10: of direct responsibility of it, but considered they called us 2086 01:46:23,573 --> 01:46:26,893 Speaker 10: with dirty hands. When he's in court over this, and 2087 01:46:26,973 --> 01:46:29,933 Speaker 10: the other interesting thing has his relationship with his children 2088 01:46:30,453 --> 01:46:33,853 Speaker 10: over the media empire, and in twenty twenty four it 2089 01:46:33,973 --> 01:46:35,853 Speaker 10: really came to her head because he'd set up this 2090 01:46:36,013 --> 01:46:40,533 Speaker 10: family trust in nineteen ninety nine, and you established this 2091 01:46:40,653 --> 01:46:43,773 Speaker 10: inheritance of Prudence, his daughter Bikes first wife, and Lachlan, 2092 01:46:43,853 --> 01:46:47,213 Speaker 10: Elizabeth and James, and that all inherits everything equally. But 2093 01:46:47,413 --> 01:46:50,853 Speaker 10: Robert at this stage wanted Lachlan, who's probably the most 2094 01:46:50,933 --> 01:46:54,093 Speaker 10: right wing of his children, to assume the full control 2095 01:46:54,173 --> 01:46:56,373 Speaker 10: of the business. And there's a whole lot of legal 2096 01:46:56,453 --> 01:46:58,413 Speaker 10: action and they all end up with one point one 2097 01:46:58,493 --> 01:47:00,133 Speaker 10: billion each at the end of it, which is probably 2098 01:47:00,213 --> 01:47:02,533 Speaker 10: not a bad sum of money, but there's this real 2099 01:47:02,733 --> 01:47:05,733 Speaker 10: ruthlessness about him, and he pits people against each other, 2100 01:47:05,773 --> 01:47:09,373 Speaker 10: including his family, and it's just fascinating. Look at the 2101 01:47:10,293 --> 01:47:14,013 Speaker 10: really incredibly dysfunctional family and the control and the power 2102 01:47:14,413 --> 01:47:17,853 Speaker 10: and a really reckless disregard that's just completely driven I 2103 01:47:18,013 --> 01:47:18,733 Speaker 10: think by greed. 2104 01:47:19,253 --> 01:47:22,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh fantastic, It sounds so interesting. So that's a 2105 01:47:22,453 --> 01:47:25,973 Speaker 3: Bonfire of the Murdocks by Gabriel Sherman. Next up tell 2106 01:47:26,053 --> 01:47:28,213 Speaker 3: us about Hooked by Azarko Yuzuki. 2107 01:47:29,773 --> 01:47:33,533 Speaker 10: So this has been translated from Japanese, but it reads 2108 01:47:33,733 --> 01:47:37,973 Speaker 10: really well. And Eriko's thirty and single and living at 2109 01:47:38,053 --> 01:47:41,293 Speaker 10: home and kind of this almost epitome of corporate success, 2110 01:47:41,813 --> 01:47:44,933 Speaker 10: well groomed, you know, really really good at a job. 2111 01:47:45,333 --> 01:47:47,733 Speaker 10: But there's one thing that she's never really got in life, 2112 01:47:47,773 --> 01:47:51,893 Speaker 10: and that's a great female friend. And in her interactions 2113 01:47:51,933 --> 01:47:54,493 Speaker 10: in social media, she stumbles across this blog that really 2114 01:47:55,293 --> 01:47:58,413 Speaker 10: is almost the complete opposite of her life, and she 2115 01:47:58,533 --> 01:48:01,493 Speaker 10: becomes hooked on reading these and the woman that writes 2116 01:48:01,613 --> 01:48:03,973 Speaker 10: these blogs, a woman called Choko, is a stay at 2117 01:48:04,013 --> 01:48:07,333 Speaker 10: home housewife and she hates cooking and c anything that 2118 01:48:07,493 --> 01:48:11,213 Speaker 10: requires any effort. And she never anticipated that her blog, 2119 01:48:11,373 --> 01:48:14,813 Speaker 10: called the World's World's Worst Wife would ever attract any attention. 2120 01:48:15,853 --> 01:48:19,053 Speaker 10: And Arico's this fan, and she begins stalking the places 2121 01:48:19,093 --> 01:48:21,853 Speaker 10: that Shoko goes to, and then one night they meet 2122 01:48:21,973 --> 01:48:26,013 Speaker 10: and they get along and Arico's really excited about this, 2123 01:48:26,253 --> 01:48:29,613 Speaker 10: but Choko's really unaware that Arico has this obsessive behavior 2124 01:48:29,773 --> 01:48:33,693 Speaker 10: in her past, and so the relationship begins okay, and 2125 01:48:33,813 --> 01:48:37,653 Speaker 10: then really very early on, the obsession becomes really obvious. 2126 01:48:38,053 --> 01:48:40,293 Speaker 10: And it's the story of the dynamic between the two 2127 01:48:40,613 --> 01:48:43,653 Speaker 10: and the behavior and the way they both change in 2128 01:48:43,733 --> 01:48:46,333 Speaker 10: reaction to it and the online presence. And so this 2129 01:48:46,493 --> 01:48:49,733 Speaker 10: novel really focused on how modern society works and they 2130 01:48:50,053 --> 01:48:53,093 Speaker 10: want real hunger for connection and just the way our 2131 01:48:53,173 --> 01:48:57,133 Speaker 10: lives can go completely out of control and how easily 2132 01:48:57,213 --> 01:48:59,853 Speaker 10: we define ourselves by what other people think of us 2133 01:48:59,933 --> 01:49:02,613 Speaker 10: and what social media is about, and it's just it's 2134 01:49:02,733 --> 01:49:03,533 Speaker 10: really interesting. 2135 01:49:03,853 --> 01:49:07,413 Speaker 3: Yeah, great, Okay, cool. So that's hooked by a Sako Yuzuki. 2136 01:49:07,933 --> 01:49:11,733 Speaker 3: Catherine's first book is Bonfire of the Murdocks by Gabriel Sherman. 2137 01:49:11,773 --> 01:49:13,373 Speaker 3: All the details of those will of course be up 2138 01:49:13,413 --> 01:49:16,333 Speaker 3: at Newstalks hedb dot co dot nz. In a couple 2139 01:49:16,373 --> 01:49:19,093 Speaker 3: of minutes, that brand new album from r Low Parks, 2140 01:49:19,133 --> 01:49:20,493 Speaker 3: We're gonna have a little bit of a listen to 2141 01:49:20,613 --> 01:49:22,293 Speaker 3: Ambiguous Desire. 2142 01:49:22,253 --> 01:49:25,293 Speaker 1: Giving you the inside scoop on all you need to know. 2143 01:49:26,093 --> 01:49:28,773 Speaker 1: Saturday morning with Jack dam News Talks. 2144 01:49:45,693 --> 01:49:50,333 Speaker 3: This is Arlow Parks. That song is called Get Go. 2145 01:49:51,413 --> 01:49:55,133 Speaker 3: Arlow's new album is Ambiguous Designer, and Chris Schultz has 2146 01:49:55,173 --> 01:49:58,413 Speaker 3: been listening. He's with us this morning, Gay Chris, Hey, Jake. 2147 01:49:58,453 --> 01:50:02,413 Speaker 20: I think the word silky was invented to describe music 2148 01:50:02,613 --> 01:50:04,933 Speaker 20: and her vocals too, right, you can hear those vocals. 2149 01:50:04,933 --> 01:50:07,133 Speaker 20: They sound silky to me. That's the it's the best word. 2150 01:50:07,533 --> 01:50:10,333 Speaker 20: I think that sums up her music on this album. 2151 01:50:10,413 --> 01:50:13,933 Speaker 20: It's a very different album to her first two. Arlo 2152 01:50:14,093 --> 01:50:18,493 Speaker 20: Parks is a UK singer songwriter. She is about as 2153 01:50:18,573 --> 01:50:22,493 Speaker 20: close to a lockdown artist as you can get. She 2154 01:50:22,693 --> 01:50:27,053 Speaker 20: wrote her first album Collapsed in sunbeams in like bedrooms 2155 01:50:27,173 --> 01:50:30,973 Speaker 20: and airbnbs between lockdowns, and you could sort of hear that. 2156 01:50:32,413 --> 01:50:34,453 Speaker 20: You know It became quite a big hit. She won 2157 01:50:34,533 --> 01:50:37,973 Speaker 20: the Mercury Prize for it in twenty twenty one, and 2158 01:50:38,053 --> 01:50:42,533 Speaker 20: apparently she went to that You Know That awards ceremony 2159 01:50:42,653 --> 01:50:45,933 Speaker 20: straight after that had come out of London's last lockdown, 2160 01:50:45,973 --> 01:50:50,333 Speaker 20: which would be such a surreal experience. The Mercury Prize, 2161 01:50:50,413 --> 01:50:52,013 Speaker 20: by the way, like that that can often be a 2162 01:50:52,053 --> 01:50:54,413 Speaker 20: bit of a kiss of death for some artists. A 2163 01:50:54,493 --> 01:50:56,333 Speaker 20: lot of artists who want it don't tend to go 2164 01:50:56,453 --> 01:51:00,093 Speaker 20: on and make their best music, or that can happen. 2165 01:51:00,293 --> 01:51:02,893 Speaker 20: But she released the second album in twenty twenty three, 2166 01:51:02,973 --> 01:51:05,613 Speaker 20: my Self Machine, that kind of wasn't as God and 2167 01:51:05,693 --> 01:51:08,013 Speaker 20: so it felt like maybe that curse has struck. But 2168 01:51:08,733 --> 01:51:14,093 Speaker 20: ambiguous desire. I'm happy to say, is a rebirth, a 2169 01:51:14,293 --> 01:51:18,893 Speaker 20: proof that maybe that trend hasn't quite sort. 2170 01:51:18,733 --> 01:51:20,173 Speaker 4: Of worked on her. 2171 01:51:20,333 --> 01:51:20,533 Speaker 3: Yeah. 2172 01:51:21,213 --> 01:51:23,973 Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a really interesting album. It's got quite a 2173 01:51:24,213 --> 01:51:28,813 Speaker 20: big backstory. She's only twenty five years old, and she 2174 01:51:29,333 --> 01:51:33,053 Speaker 20: has talked about how she missed all of her friends 2175 01:51:33,133 --> 01:51:35,653 Speaker 20: going up clubbing and partying in their twenties because she 2176 01:51:35,813 --> 01:51:38,973 Speaker 20: was busy working on music and touring, and so this 2177 01:51:39,173 --> 01:51:40,693 Speaker 20: is an album to try and get back to that. 2178 01:51:40,893 --> 01:51:42,613 Speaker 20: So it's got this kind of you can hear it 2179 01:51:42,693 --> 01:51:45,373 Speaker 20: on that song. It's got this clubby kind of disco 2180 01:51:46,973 --> 01:51:52,693 Speaker 20: housey kind of undertone to it. That's the blueprint. It's 2181 01:51:52,773 --> 01:51:55,053 Speaker 20: what they call morning music, Jack. I don't know if 2182 01:51:55,053 --> 01:51:57,693 Speaker 20: you've been visiting any clubs lately, but morning music is 2183 01:51:57,733 --> 01:52:00,973 Speaker 20: what DJs play at six am when everyone's been partying 2184 01:52:01,013 --> 01:52:03,613 Speaker 20: all through the night and they put on music to 2185 01:52:03,653 --> 01:52:04,853 Speaker 20: help you transition. 2186 01:52:04,613 --> 01:52:06,133 Speaker 4: Back out into it. 2187 01:52:08,573 --> 01:52:11,853 Speaker 3: Okay, it's been a few years. 2188 01:52:12,733 --> 01:52:14,013 Speaker 5: I just learned this myself. 2189 01:52:15,133 --> 01:52:18,533 Speaker 3: I see, but unfortunately I don't see it in the club. 2190 01:52:18,613 --> 01:52:22,253 Speaker 3: I see it, you know, my one year old bedroom. 2191 01:52:23,453 --> 01:52:24,933 Speaker 20: When you're being asked to make porridge. 2192 01:52:24,973 --> 01:52:25,293 Speaker 5: I get it. 2193 01:52:25,453 --> 01:52:28,933 Speaker 20: Yeah, No, this is yeah, this is it's a really 2194 01:52:28,973 --> 01:52:30,973 Speaker 20: good album. I almost see it as a counterpoint to 2195 01:52:31,133 --> 01:52:33,493 Speaker 20: Robin's album last week. You know, we talked about that album, 2196 01:52:33,493 --> 01:52:36,893 Speaker 20: which is like this euphoric bursts that's kind of like 2197 01:52:37,013 --> 01:52:39,253 Speaker 20: that the headline at the main event. This is sort 2198 01:52:39,253 --> 01:52:43,933 Speaker 20: of the aftermath. It's very wistful. She's looking back with 2199 01:52:44,133 --> 01:52:46,373 Speaker 20: regrets about missing out on this time and trying to 2200 01:52:46,413 --> 01:52:48,533 Speaker 20: make up for it. So a lot of the songs 2201 01:52:48,573 --> 01:52:50,693 Speaker 20: are about sort of like getting into a cab to 2202 01:52:51,133 --> 01:52:54,613 Speaker 20: go to the party, that kind of thing. But but 2203 01:52:54,693 --> 01:52:57,533 Speaker 20: then the way she sings it is just so I 2204 01:52:57,573 --> 01:52:59,773 Speaker 20: don't know, she's got the sweetness and lightness to her, 2205 01:53:00,093 --> 01:53:02,053 Speaker 20: but some of it's so personal that, you know, she's 2206 01:53:02,133 --> 01:53:06,173 Speaker 20: talked about fans sort of like sending her the message 2207 01:53:06,173 --> 01:53:08,373 Speaker 20: of a message from the spilling their guts to her, 2208 01:53:09,013 --> 01:53:11,173 Speaker 20: and what a toll that's taken on her too, you know, 2209 01:53:11,293 --> 01:53:13,493 Speaker 20: like she she did have some time off, she did 2210 01:53:13,533 --> 01:53:16,693 Speaker 20: stuff a burnout, which I think sort of reflects us 2211 01:53:16,693 --> 01:53:19,053 Speaker 20: how fast she rose and the fact that it all 2212 01:53:19,133 --> 01:53:23,013 Speaker 20: sort of happened during lockdown. So yeah, it's really interesting album. 2213 01:53:23,053 --> 01:53:25,933 Speaker 20: I almost see it as like an autumnal sort of album, 2214 01:53:26,293 --> 01:53:28,693 Speaker 20: you know, if you're not transitioning from the club out 2215 01:53:28,733 --> 01:53:32,413 Speaker 20: into the day. Well, we're transitioning right now from you know, yeah, 2216 01:53:32,533 --> 01:53:33,293 Speaker 20: summer into. 2217 01:53:33,133 --> 01:53:35,893 Speaker 3: All daylight tomorrow, you know, yeah exactly. 2218 01:53:36,093 --> 01:53:37,933 Speaker 20: I've been playing it and it's perfect for that kind 2219 01:53:37,973 --> 01:53:38,973 Speaker 20: of this kind of time of year. 2220 01:53:39,053 --> 01:53:41,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love it. Fantastic. Okay, what did you 2221 01:53:41,613 --> 01:53:41,813 Speaker 3: give it? 2222 01:53:42,973 --> 01:53:45,133 Speaker 20: I'm going to give us four stars.
