As a woman who's had a series of 18 00:01:22,173 --> 00:01:25,613 Speaker 3: incredible jobs, so she's had kind of the top marketing 19 00:01:25,733 --> 00:01:29,093 Speaker 3: gigs at some of the world's best known companies. So 20 00:01:29,333 --> 00:01:32,893 Speaker 3: I don't know if Apple needed much marketing or Netflix 21 00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:36,133 Speaker 3: Uber Pepsi, but Bose of Saint John has had the 22 00:01:36,173 --> 00:01:38,493 Speaker 3: top marketing gigs at all of those companies. Now, though 23 00:01:38,533 --> 00:01:40,413 Speaker 3: she has taken on a new role. She's one of 24 00:01:40,453 --> 00:01:44,973 Speaker 3: the stars of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. So 25 00:01:45,173 --> 00:01:48,813 Speaker 3: why after making it so big in the corporate world, 26 00:01:48,813 --> 00:01:51,853 Speaker 3: which she choose to go on a reality TV show. 27 00:01:52,173 --> 00:01:54,213 Speaker 3: She'll be with us after ten to explain. Right now, 28 00:01:54,293 --> 00:01:55,733 Speaker 3: it's eight minutes past nine. 29 00:01:56,093 --> 00:01:56,893 Speaker 4: Jack Team. 30 00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:03,173 Speaker 3: As a little kid, I always slept terribly on Christmas Eve. 31 00:02:03,893 --> 00:02:05,613 Speaker 3: I would try and go to bed early. I would 32 00:02:05,613 --> 00:02:09,293 Speaker 3: tell myself that the sooner I went to sleep, the 33 00:02:09,373 --> 00:02:12,773 Speaker 3: sooner I would wake up on Christmas morning. But sure 34 00:02:12,813 --> 00:02:17,173 Speaker 3: as anything, I'd be up all night listening for any 35 00:02:17,253 --> 00:02:20,693 Speaker 3: sound of activity on the roof. Together with my three 36 00:02:20,733 --> 00:02:23,453 Speaker 3: little brothers and sisters, we would be desperate for Mum 37 00:02:23,493 --> 00:02:26,813 Speaker 3: and Dad to throw open our bedroom doors at first light, 38 00:02:27,253 --> 00:02:32,213 Speaker 3: and would scramble down to our spinly and slightly off 39 00:02:32,293 --> 00:02:36,293 Speaker 3: scentered Christmas tree to see if Dad's old football socks 40 00:02:36,773 --> 00:02:42,173 Speaker 3: had been attended to by Santa overnight. I suspect this 41 00:02:42,253 --> 00:02:47,373 Speaker 3: Christmas Eve will be another poor sleep, not because I 42 00:02:47,413 --> 00:02:51,813 Speaker 3: will be excitedly listening for the sound of shuffling reindeer 43 00:02:51,853 --> 00:02:55,013 Speaker 3: on the corrugated iron roof. But because it's my first 44 00:02:55,133 --> 00:02:58,893 Speaker 3: Christmas morning with our ten month old son, we are 45 00:02:58,933 --> 00:03:01,853 Speaker 3: taking both our boys to their cousin's place for Christmas. 46 00:03:01,933 --> 00:03:05,973 Speaker 3: So five kids average age four and a half. What 47 00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:10,093 Speaker 3: could possibly go wrong? Our eldest is already fizzing, but 48 00:03:10,213 --> 00:03:13,653 Speaker 3: our baby is going to have absolutely no idea what's 49 00:03:13,733 --> 00:03:16,933 Speaker 3: going on, although sure as anything, he'll wake up a 50 00:03:16,973 --> 00:03:19,773 Speaker 3: minimum of three times in the night to demand cuddles 51 00:03:19,813 --> 00:03:25,813 Speaker 3: and to feed. Christmas I reckon it is. It's kind 52 00:03:25,853 --> 00:03:30,173 Speaker 3: of a touchstone for our family. I think, like many 53 00:03:30,373 --> 00:03:34,373 Speaker 3: Kiwi families, it is the one time of year when 54 00:03:34,453 --> 00:03:36,893 Speaker 3: all of us, or at least as many of us 55 00:03:37,493 --> 00:03:41,933 Speaker 3: as as possible, are in one place at the same time. 56 00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:44,293 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. You think about it. You 57 00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:47,853 Speaker 3: have weddings and funerals and Christmas. Those are the only 58 00:03:48,493 --> 00:03:52,573 Speaker 3: occasions in which we are all together, and Christmas is 59 00:03:52,613 --> 00:03:56,173 Speaker 3: the only regular one. As a child, you never kind 60 00:03:56,173 --> 00:03:58,213 Speaker 3: of think about this stuff. But as you grow older, 61 00:03:58,813 --> 00:04:03,373 Speaker 3: you are gently confronted by the reality that, for better 62 00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:09,733 Speaker 3: and worse, the numbers in the room on Christmas morning change. 63 00:04:09,893 --> 00:04:12,893 Speaker 3: The grandparents whom I shared Christmas Day with as a 64 00:04:12,933 --> 00:04:16,173 Speaker 3: little boy are no longer with us no longer sitting 65 00:04:16,253 --> 00:04:20,253 Speaker 3: on the couch sipping their coffees and Riley commentating as 66 00:04:20,293 --> 00:04:23,573 Speaker 3: the kids tear into the wrapping paper. My granny was 67 00:04:23,573 --> 00:04:26,813 Speaker 3: a very active woman, so every Christmas morning, after we 68 00:04:26,853 --> 00:04:31,133 Speaker 3: had stuffed ourselves with chocolates and junk, she would lead 69 00:04:31,213 --> 00:04:34,613 Speaker 3: a brisk stroll around the neighborhood as we worked up 70 00:04:34,653 --> 00:04:38,413 Speaker 3: an appetite for Christmas lunch. Dad and my granddad would 71 00:04:38,413 --> 00:04:42,853 Speaker 3: stay at home and race through a cryptic crossword. Now 72 00:04:43,053 --> 00:04:45,733 Speaker 3: it's different, I mean, for the kids, it's more or 73 00:04:45,773 --> 00:04:48,613 Speaker 3: less the same. It's all magic, it's all a whirlwind, 74 00:04:48,613 --> 00:04:52,253 Speaker 3: a blur. But for the rest of us, a new 75 00:04:52,373 --> 00:04:58,133 Speaker 3: baby just reinforces our awareness of having stepped up a generation. 76 00:04:59,133 --> 00:05:01,373 Speaker 3: So where once I was struggling to sleep through the 77 00:05:01,413 --> 00:05:04,413 Speaker 3: night on Christmas Eve, now it's my boys and their cousins. 78 00:05:05,173 --> 00:05:09,013 Speaker 3: My parents have become the grandparents sitting on the couch 79 00:05:09,253 --> 00:05:14,293 Speaker 3: sipping their coffees, Riley commentating proceedings. My siblings have become 80 00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:18,133 Speaker 3: the parents, the aunts and uncles. People who once were 81 00:05:18,133 --> 00:05:23,453 Speaker 3: there are not new excited little bodies have taken their place. 82 00:05:25,893 --> 00:05:30,773 Speaker 3: And I don't know the sadness in it, but there 83 00:05:30,813 --> 00:05:36,093 Speaker 3: is also something quite quite beautiful about it too, you know, 84 00:05:36,133 --> 00:05:40,373 Speaker 3: like placing yourself in a generational context like that. It's 85 00:05:40,413 --> 00:05:43,693 Speaker 3: a circle of life thing, and it's funny that it 86 00:05:43,733 --> 00:05:48,853 Speaker 3: comes at Christmas. I think other cultures and religions probably 87 00:05:48,933 --> 00:05:53,053 Speaker 3: have many more of these regular moments, but we're a 88 00:05:53,093 --> 00:05:57,373 Speaker 3: little bit short on touchstone traditions, and for me, at least, 89 00:05:57,453 --> 00:06:01,493 Speaker 3: Christmas is a short little window every year where the 90 00:06:01,533 --> 00:06:05,453 Speaker 3: busy lives in my family are about as aligned as 91 00:06:05,453 --> 00:06:08,773 Speaker 3: they're ever going to be. It's a touchstone where, if 92 00:06:08,813 --> 00:06:11,813 Speaker 3: you want to, you can step back and observe what's 93 00:06:11,893 --> 00:06:16,573 Speaker 3: changed in the family. My son's first Christmas will mean 94 00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:20,853 Speaker 3: seeing myself in a slightly different light, not as a 95 00:06:20,933 --> 00:06:24,373 Speaker 3: kid or a gift giver or someone helping to set 96 00:06:24,373 --> 00:06:28,573 Speaker 3: the stockings under the tree, but as a bridge between 97 00:06:28,613 --> 00:06:32,853 Speaker 3: different generations of the same family, hoping that the spirit 98 00:06:32,933 --> 00:06:36,533 Speaker 3: of these traditions will continue for many years to come. 99 00:06:37,293 --> 00:06:41,693 Speaker 3: Jack Day ninety two ninety two is our text number. 100 00:06:41,813 --> 00:06:43,213 Speaker 3: If you want to see me a message this morning, 101 00:06:43,213 --> 00:06:45,573 Speaker 3: you can email me as well.

Like as a kid, 129 00:07:56,573 --> 00:07:58,573 Speaker 3: I could never understand. I would look up at my 130 00:07:58,613 --> 00:08:00,813 Speaker 3: parents and be like, man, why are they excited about 131 00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:02,773 Speaker 3: presents and all that kind of thing.

A big part of the magic of Christmas 135 00:08:10,613 --> 00:08:13,173 Speaker 3: comes through seeing it through children's eyes, doesn't it. 136 00:08:13,253 --> 00:08:17,133 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, yes, yes, yeah, so yeah, So we're spending 137 00:08:17,173 --> 00:08:21,373 Speaker 5: our Christmas of our grandchildren and their family and in 138 00:08:21,493 --> 00:08:24,133 Speaker 5: laws and that sort of thing, and we like them 139 00:08:24,173 --> 00:08:26,293 Speaker 5: all and we're all get on well, so. 140 00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,733 Speaker 7: That it should be.

Kevin, And speaking of Christmas, you'd 143 00:08:32,493 --> 00:08:34,693 Speaker 3: like to talk this morning about meaningful music. 144 00:08:35,493 --> 00:08:38,533 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, A radio station once invited me to name 145 00:08:38,733 --> 00:08:41,853 Speaker 5: one song that meant the most to me, and that'd 146 00:08:41,893 --> 00:08:45,093 Speaker 5: play it, asking listeners what song meant the most of 147 00:08:45,213 --> 00:08:48,653 Speaker 5: them was going to become a daily feature of their program. 148 00:08:49,053 --> 00:08:52,773 Speaker 5: I'd be the first contributor and set the course. I 149 00:08:52,853 --> 00:08:57,133 Speaker 5: take those sorts of requests overly seriously, Jack, as if 150 00:08:57,413 --> 00:09:00,093 Speaker 5: my entire reputation depended on it. 151 00:09:00,493 --> 00:09:01,893 Speaker 7: I thought about it for days. 152 00:09:02,293 --> 00:09:05,613 Speaker 5: What song meant the most to me when I got 153 00:09:05,693 --> 00:09:08,573 Speaker 5: back to them was Love of my Life by Queen, 154 00:09:08,813 --> 00:09:13,573 Speaker 5: or Yesterday by the Beatles, or Fields of Gold by Sting. 155 00:09:14,533 --> 00:09:18,733 Speaker 5: It was the two hundred year old Christmas carol Silent 156 00:09:18,893 --> 00:09:23,653 Speaker 5: Night for Me. Silent Night, especially played by a brass band, 157 00:09:24,173 --> 00:09:28,453 Speaker 5: brings back rich childhood memories of the happiest of times, 158 00:09:28,813 --> 00:09:33,253 Speaker 5: Christmas tree lights, the excitement of opening presents, the Salvation 159 00:09:33,493 --> 00:09:37,893 Speaker 5: Army Band playing in the christ streets, playing their carols, 160 00:09:38,493 --> 00:09:42,533 Speaker 5: even midnight Mass with my family. It also reminds me 161 00:09:42,573 --> 00:09:45,413 Speaker 5: of sad times when my brother was killed in a 162 00:09:45,533 --> 00:09:50,213 Speaker 5: car crash fifty nine years ago today, just before Christmas. 163 00:09:50,853 --> 00:09:53,293 Speaker 2: Anyway, I let the radio. 164 00:09:53,013 --> 00:09:57,133 Speaker 5: Producer know my selection was Silent Night and I wanted 165 00:09:57,133 --> 00:10:00,653 Speaker 5: it played by a brass band. She was surprised. I 166 00:10:00,693 --> 00:10:03,493 Speaker 5: think they had pop songs in mind, given I was 167 00:10:03,533 --> 00:10:07,493 Speaker 5: first up. Maybe they were worried my unusual choice might 168 00:10:07,653 --> 00:10:12,093 Speaker 5: skew the whole segment, But they played Silent Night for 169 00:10:12,253 --> 00:10:15,653 Speaker 5: Me over the years, their segment turned out. 170 00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:16,853 Speaker 7: To be very successful. 171 00:10:17,253 --> 00:10:22,093 Speaker 5: Everyone else but me named their favorite pop song. I 172 00:10:22,173 --> 00:10:27,533 Speaker 5: never regretted choosing Silent Night, which, like Christmas itself, has 173 00:10:27,573 --> 00:10:31,693 Speaker 5: a mix of joy and sadness about it. In fact, 174 00:10:32,293 --> 00:10:35,413 Speaker 5: I reckon if you asked our listeners to name the 175 00:10:35,453 --> 00:10:38,973 Speaker 5: one song that means the most of them, Silent Night 176 00:10:39,533 --> 00:10:44,813 Speaker 5: would pop up frequently, especially now that I've promoted it. 177 00:10:45,053 --> 00:10:49,013 Speaker 5: May you Jack, Producer Libby, and all our listeners enjoy 178 00:10:49,093 --> 00:10:52,693 Speaker 5: the holiday break, and may you get plenty of sleep 179 00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:54,093 Speaker 5: and heavenly peace. 180 00:11:12,253 --> 00:11:12,573 Speaker 2: Ah. 181 00:11:12,653 --> 00:11:15,573 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is stirring, isn't it, Kevin.

It'll always work on. Hey, I'm going to 255 00:14:19,253 --> 00:14:20,893 Speaker 3: get to you your highlights of twenty twenty five and 256 00:14:20,893 --> 00:14:22,613 Speaker 3: a couple of minutes. It's very quickly though. Take a 257 00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:27,213 Speaker 3: look at the state of leadership and New Zealand's biggest sports. 258 00:14:27,253 --> 00:14:30,373 Speaker 3: So we have New Zealand rugby, New Zealand netball and 259 00:14:30,373 --> 00:14:32,373 Speaker 3: now New Zealand cricket all needing new CEOs. 260 00:14:33,053 --> 00:14:35,053 Speaker 9: I don't think we've ever seen a situation like this. 261 00:14:35,173 --> 00:14:39,253 Speaker 9: Jack talking to a long time sports administrator a few 262 00:14:39,253 --> 00:14:42,173 Speaker 9: weeks ago, primarily about the cricket situation, he said to me, 263 00:14:42,293 --> 00:14:45,293 Speaker 9: remain nameless. He said to me, Look, he just thinks 264 00:14:45,373 --> 00:14:49,093 Speaker 9: is a real distinct lack of top line leadership in sport. 265 00:14:49,533 --> 00:14:54,893 Speaker 9: Firm top line leadership A lot of a lot of people, 266 00:14:54,933 --> 00:14:57,213 Speaker 9: I think get to the heights of the top of 267 00:14:57,213 --> 00:15:00,373 Speaker 9: each sport. Maybe from a business background with a little 268 00:15:00,453 --> 00:15:03,773 Speaker 9: smattering of sport mixed in. Yeah, but these are really 269 00:15:03,773 --> 00:15:05,893 Speaker 9: intricate jobs, especially in New Zealand and rugby. 270 00:15:06,133 --> 00:15:08,013 Speaker 7: You know, you're you're. 271 00:15:07,933 --> 00:15:14,453 Speaker 9: Running a half billion dollar company at least, and then 272 00:15:14,453 --> 00:15:16,413 Speaker 9: you're also going to talk to rugby club in the 273 00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:17,973 Speaker 9: middle of now we're in the South Island, you know, 274 00:15:18,053 --> 00:15:19,413 Speaker 9: and their concerns about rugby. 275 00:15:19,493 --> 00:15:21,933 Speaker 7: So that is a that is a really difficult job. 276 00:15:21,933 --> 00:15:26,653 Speaker 9: The other thing is that players associations have become more 277 00:15:26,693 --> 00:15:29,053 Speaker 9: and more powerful over the years. I don't think that's 278 00:15:29,093 --> 00:15:30,933 Speaker 9: totally a bad thing, because, let's face it, it's the 279 00:15:30,933 --> 00:15:34,253 Speaker 9: players who put their bodies on the line or who 280 00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:37,613 Speaker 9: are skilled and who attract the tension and attract the 281 00:15:37,653 --> 00:15:40,773 Speaker 9: sponsorship and attract and attract the dollars, so they should 282 00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:43,213 Speaker 9: be getting their cut. They should be having a major say. 283 00:15:43,173 --> 00:15:45,133 Speaker 7: So, it's all. It's a it's a mix of things. 284 00:15:45,173 --> 00:15:47,893 Speaker 7: But yeah, this is just a bizarre situation for the 285 00:15:47,933 --> 00:15:52,693 Speaker 7: three arguably most high profile sports in the country to 286 00:15:52,773 --> 00:15:56,733 Speaker 7: be without CEOs as we as we head into the 287 00:15:56,773 --> 00:15:58,013 Speaker 7: new year. Very odd. 288 00:15:58,333 --> 00:16:02,453 Speaker 3: It's a very good point you raise, though, about the 289 00:16:02,533 --> 00:16:05,213 Speaker 3: unique set of skills required to be an administrator at 290 00:16:05,213 --> 00:16:06,973 Speaker 3: that top level, isn't it, Because you. 291 00:16:06,853 --> 00:16:09,453 Speaker 7: Can't just come in and run a business. 292 00:16:08,813 --> 00:16:09,333 Speaker 2: More than that. 293 00:16:09,453 --> 00:16:12,653 Speaker 3: It's but and and those competing forces. Right, So say, 294 00:16:12,733 --> 00:16:16,653 Speaker 3: take take New Zealand rugby, where you're trying to maximize 295 00:16:17,053 --> 00:16:19,693 Speaker 3: the return on the All Backs brand whilst protecting the 296 00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:22,813 Speaker 3: brand as much as possible, but then also turning out 297 00:16:22,813 --> 00:16:24,453 Speaker 3: in hot a fine word to talk to the local 298 00:16:24,453 --> 00:16:28,173 Speaker 3: clubrooms and and try and get the balance between retaining 299 00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:32,493 Speaker 3: players at the very top end in order to reinforce 300 00:16:32,573 --> 00:16:37,653 Speaker 3: the brand and you know, and and maximize the elite 301 00:16:37,693 --> 00:16:40,893 Speaker 3: level performance while at the same time try and bring 302 00:16:41,013 --> 00:16:43,213 Speaker 3: money down into the into the lower grades. 303 00:16:43,293 --> 00:16:51,253 Speaker 9: To Yeah, if you don't foster the grassroots, your national 304 00:16:51,293 --> 00:16:54,813 Speaker 9: team won't have any players. The production line will run out. 305 00:16:55,453 --> 00:16:57,173 Speaker 9: Speaking of which I just quickly I was at the 306 00:16:57,173 --> 00:17:00,213 Speaker 9: Global You Seven's event at Utin. You say, and gef, 307 00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:03,613 Speaker 9: if you thought the rugby or rugby league production line 308 00:17:03,613 --> 00:17:07,893 Speaker 9: was running out for male and females, go to this tournament. 309 00:17:07,933 --> 00:17:09,413 Speaker 7: Gee, there's some skill on talent. 310 00:17:09,413 --> 00:17:09,693 Speaker 4: Is it? 311 00:17:10,053 --> 00:17:10,253 Speaker 7: Yeah? 312 00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:13,493 Speaker 9: Yeah, you especially that a lot of the Ossie players 313 00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,773 Speaker 9: have come over the planet Jack very rong talented. 314 00:17:17,173 --> 00:17:19,453 Speaker 7: So if you have concerns about the production. 315 00:17:19,213 --> 00:17:20,213 Speaker 2: Line, running out there. 316 00:17:21,253 --> 00:17:24,773 Speaker 9: Maybe maybe we shouldn't be so concerned about black Caps. 317 00:17:24,813 --> 00:17:28,693 Speaker 9: And also did you see this big bash last night? 318 00:17:28,813 --> 00:17:31,653 Speaker 3: How many sixes was this? So it was two fifty 319 00:17:31,973 --> 00:17:34,653 Speaker 3: scorches versus the heat, right. 320 00:17:34,893 --> 00:17:38,213 Speaker 9: Yeah, two fifty seven of twenty overs, which is a 321 00:17:38,213 --> 00:17:40,853 Speaker 9: massive score by the Perth team, and then two fifty 322 00:17:40,853 --> 00:17:44,493 Speaker 9: eight for two with one border spear from the World's 323 00:17:44,493 --> 00:17:44,893 Speaker 9: gone mad. 324 00:17:45,053 --> 00:17:48,053 Speaker 3: I mean it is silly.

But Kate Hudson, 429 00:22:59,893 --> 00:23:01,733 Speaker 6: she is a real revelation in this film and it 430 00:23:01,773 --> 00:23:03,653 Speaker 6: sort of takes me back to almost famous.

Yeah, not too long ago. 437 00:23:22,093 --> 00:23:25,613 Speaker 6: But look, she just takes on this character of clear. 438 00:23:25,733 --> 00:23:27,893 Speaker 6: She's a hairdresser or a divorcee and mother of two. 439 00:23:28,013 --> 00:23:31,093 Speaker 6: She's prone to a bout some depression. It's music that 440 00:23:31,173 --> 00:23:33,933 Speaker 6: keeps her grounded and happy. And this is actually based 441 00:23:33,973 --> 00:23:35,653 Speaker 6: on a true story. So it's based on a true 442 00:23:35,653 --> 00:23:38,373 Speaker 6: story of there's two people who meet at the Wisconsin 443 00:23:38,533 --> 00:23:42,173 Speaker 6: State Fair in the eighties.

They meet and they're both performers. 445 00:23:46,213 --> 00:23:49,173 Speaker 6: They kind of work. They do the circuit, you know, 446 00:23:49,293 --> 00:23:52,253 Speaker 6: performing as different artists and things, sort of the impersonation 447 00:23:52,573 --> 00:23:55,773 Speaker 6: sort of sec They meet and they fall in love 448 00:23:55,893 --> 00:23:58,093 Speaker 6: and they've both got a lot of baggage. There's sort 449 00:23:58,133 --> 00:24:00,333 Speaker 6: of you know, I don't know, late forties, eighty fifties 450 00:24:00,373 --> 00:24:03,253 Speaker 6: or something, and they've got their baggage in their lives 451 00:24:03,253 --> 00:24:05,773 Speaker 6: and they come together and it's this beautiful love story 452 00:24:06,173 --> 00:24:10,053 Speaker 6: and they decide to sort of create the Meal Diamond experience, 453 00:24:10,093 --> 00:24:13,133 Speaker 6: and they start to really take off in Milwaukee, and 454 00:24:13,613 --> 00:24:16,693 Speaker 6: they even are asked to open for Pearl Jam, which 455 00:24:16,733 --> 00:24:20,893 Speaker 6: is hilarious because they you know, Jackman's character does makes 456 00:24:20,933 --> 00:24:22,693 Speaker 6: you know who pel Jam is much doesn't know who 457 00:24:22,693 --> 00:24:25,653 Speaker 6: pel Jam is anyway. So there's this wonderful story, but 458 00:24:25,733 --> 00:24:27,533 Speaker 6: they deal with a lot of tragedy. They deal with 459 00:24:27,573 --> 00:24:31,013 Speaker 6: some crazy things which happened, which you kind of watching 460 00:24:31,053 --> 00:24:33,853 Speaker 6: the film going really did this happen?

Then he discovers 510 00:26:49,373 --> 00:26:51,693 Speaker 6: his family is not his family and that he was adopted. 511 00:26:51,973 --> 00:26:54,653 Speaker 6: He discovers he has a younger brother, Jimmy, and he 512 00:26:54,733 --> 00:26:57,813 Speaker 6: goes and asked him for help to get a transplant. 513 00:26:57,853 --> 00:27:00,733 Speaker 6: Now this all happens very quickly, and then we kind 514 00:27:00,733 --> 00:27:03,013 Speaker 6: of move on from this scenario. This is a setup, 515 00:27:03,373 --> 00:27:07,773 Speaker 6: and the majority of the film was spoken on getting 516 00:27:08,613 --> 00:27:11,333 Speaker 6: to know that these two characters, getting to know each 517 00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:14,413 Speaker 6: other and navigating how to be in each other's lives 518 00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:19,093 Speaker 6: and accepting their fate. So Tipo, he ended up in 519 00:27:19,093 --> 00:27:21,373 Speaker 6: a very well to do family. He had all the 520 00:27:21,413 --> 00:27:23,413 Speaker 6: opportunities in the world, and he's now the school of 521 00:27:23,413 --> 00:27:27,653 Speaker 6: famous director. His brother, who also has pitch perfect hearing 522 00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:31,013 Speaker 6: and has also very musical, lives in this very small 523 00:27:31,093 --> 00:27:33,693 Speaker 6: industrial town and has quite a different life, and so 524 00:27:33,773 --> 00:27:36,293 Speaker 6: the two of them have to sort of reconcile how 525 00:27:37,013 --> 00:27:40,853 Speaker 6: some adults made a decision which impacted their lives so differently. 526 00:27:41,933 --> 00:27:43,933 Speaker 6: It's kind of a little bit it's been described a 527 00:27:43,933 --> 00:27:47,293 Speaker 6: little bit as a French as a French version. 528 00:27:47,013 --> 00:27:48,133 Speaker 8: Of brass Off. 529 00:27:48,653 --> 00:27:51,293 Speaker 6: It's a film about how music unites us and things, 530 00:27:51,293 --> 00:27:54,853 Speaker 6: but it's another crowd pleaser that might just bring a 531 00:27:54,853 --> 00:27:56,493 Speaker 6: little tear to their eye as well. 532 00:27:56,573 --> 00:27:59,333 Speaker 3: Oh very good, Okay, cool, So that's my brother's band 533 00:27:59,493 --> 00:28:03,373 Speaker 3: that hits cinemas on December twenty sixth.

People said it 552 00:28:54,653 --> 00:28:58,853 Speaker 3: was the most realistic medical drama in many, many years. 553 00:28:58,893 --> 00:29:00,933 Speaker 3: It has a bit of an er kind of vibe, 554 00:29:00,933 --> 00:29:04,413 Speaker 3: but it's really realistic and can be pretty harrowing at times. 555 00:29:04,413 --> 00:29:06,293 Speaker 3: So we're going to tell you about the new season 556 00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:09,173 Speaker 3: the Pit in our screen time segment after ten this morning. 557 00:29:09,333 --> 00:29:10,733 Speaker 3: Right now, it's seventeen to ten. 558 00:29:12,013 --> 00:29:15,853 Speaker 1: Saturday morning with Jack Team keeping the conversation going through 559 00:29:15,853 --> 00:29:18,453 Speaker 1: the weekend US talk a. 560 00:29:18,493 --> 00:29:21,333 Speaker 3: Ten on newst Be Nicki Wecks is our cooksies with 561 00:29:21,413 --> 00:29:26,293 Speaker 3: us this morning.

We've got your fantastic 564 00:29:31,293 --> 00:29:33,733 Speaker 3: sounding Christmas dissert and I've seen the photo already. My gosh, 565 00:29:33,773 --> 00:29:38,213 Speaker 3: it looks infudible, it looks so good. Very quickly, do 566 00:29:38,213 --> 00:29:40,573 Speaker 3: you have some top like Christmas tips for the main 567 00:29:40,653 --> 00:29:43,133 Speaker 3: dish if you're doing a turkey, any top tips? So 568 00:29:43,253 --> 00:29:48,213 Speaker 3: I've got one and that's embraced the bag. Don't be yeah, 569 00:29:48,693 --> 00:29:51,093 Speaker 3: don't be embarrassed about doing in a roasting bag. Honestly, 570 00:29:51,213 --> 00:29:52,453 Speaker 3: keep those juices in, you know. 571 00:29:52,773 --> 00:29:55,813 Speaker 13: Yeah, embrace the bag unless you will be food ed. 572 00:29:55,893 --> 00:29:58,133 Speaker 13: For New Zealand Woman's Weekly and you embrace the bag 573 00:29:58,173 --> 00:30:00,093 Speaker 13: one year for the photo shoot, and of course it's 574 00:30:00,133 --> 00:30:03,213 Speaker 13: so beautifully falling apart that it ended up to be 575 00:30:03,213 --> 00:30:08,293 Speaker 13: a turkey platter that year for those that so, yes, 576 00:30:08,333 --> 00:30:10,253 Speaker 13: I think that's a great idea. If you can't quite 577 00:30:10,253 --> 00:30:13,933 Speaker 13: embrace the bag, what I recommend you do is certainly 578 00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:16,533 Speaker 13: cock its breast side up. But then once you have 579 00:30:16,573 --> 00:30:19,693 Speaker 13: finished cooking it, turn it over and then all the 580 00:30:19,773 --> 00:30:22,493 Speaker 13: juices while you're resting it will run into the breast 581 00:30:22,533 --> 00:30:26,373 Speaker 13: and you'll have a much less dry situation. It is 582 00:30:26,373 --> 00:30:28,453 Speaker 13: a tricky one a turkey, buy a small one as 583 00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:31,493 Speaker 13: my other thing, and my number one tip is do 584 00:30:31,613 --> 00:30:34,453 Speaker 13: as much as you can in preparation beforehand, and I 585 00:30:34,493 --> 00:30:38,013 Speaker 13: mean good. You know that's what chefs do. They prep, prep, 586 00:30:38,093 --> 00:30:40,853 Speaker 13: prep for ages. You know restaurants have their first guests 587 00:30:40,893 --> 00:30:43,173 Speaker 13: at say six pm. Well they don't tune up at 588 00:30:43,173 --> 00:30:45,693 Speaker 13: five o'clock to do that. They are more like five 589 00:30:45,733 --> 00:30:48,613 Speaker 13: am in the morning. So yeah, just prep everything, which 590 00:30:48,653 --> 00:30:51,733 Speaker 13: is really lovely, and don't stress because it's Christmas and 591 00:30:51,933 --> 00:30:55,533 Speaker 13: who cares. Maybe don't drink too much, I mean think 592 00:30:55,573 --> 00:30:58,093 Speaker 13: of the beer. Don't get too sloshed if you're the 593 00:30:58,093 --> 00:31:03,733 Speaker 13: main cook, yes for that or anyone really, if you're 594 00:31:03,773 --> 00:31:08,213 Speaker 13: a guessed exactly maintains Maybe take your decorum, people. 595 00:31:08,173 --> 00:31:10,573 Speaker 3: I reckon that's a good that's a good piece of advice, though, 596 00:31:10,653 --> 00:31:13,293 Speaker 3: I mean the drinking is in moderation is always good advice. 597 00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:17,653 Speaker 3: But they don't don't care too much. Like Christmas, A 598 00:31:17,693 --> 00:31:20,733 Speaker 3: good Christmas is not decided by the quality of the turkey, 599 00:31:20,853 --> 00:31:23,853 Speaker 3: you know, but likely it's sure, it might be a 600 00:31:23,853 --> 00:31:26,853 Speaker 3: little component. But you know, if you're if you're eating 601 00:31:26,933 --> 00:31:29,573 Speaker 3: cheese toasties on Christmas Day, if the company's good and 602 00:31:29,613 --> 00:31:31,613 Speaker 3: the band is good, that it's always going. 603 00:31:31,573 --> 00:31:35,053 Speaker 13: To be exactly. And gravy fixes everything exactly, and whipped 604 00:31:35,053 --> 00:31:38,693 Speaker 13: cream fixes everything, so you're okay, right, So I've got 605 00:31:38,933 --> 00:31:40,853 Speaker 13: a peach and berry trifle cake. 606 00:31:40,933 --> 00:31:41,173 Speaker 11: Now. 607 00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:43,733 Speaker 13: I love a trifle so much so that I put 608 00:31:43,773 --> 00:31:46,293 Speaker 13: it in the newspaper last week as an option for Christmas. 609 00:31:46,333 --> 00:31:49,293 Speaker 13: And I do love a trifle, a traditional trifle, but 610 00:31:49,333 --> 00:31:54,453 Speaker 13: there was something slightly slightly clumsy about scooping something out 611 00:31:54,493 --> 00:31:57,093 Speaker 13: of a bowl. I always think, So this trifle cake, 612 00:31:57,173 --> 00:32:00,653 Speaker 13: an actual fact is you know you'll have elegant slices 613 00:32:00,693 --> 00:32:03,133 Speaker 13: of this, and so I kind of love that, and 614 00:32:03,173 --> 00:32:05,173 Speaker 13: it's and it's super easy. So I used to all 615 00:32:05,213 --> 00:32:07,613 Speaker 13: board trifle sponges. You knock yourself out if you'd like 616 00:32:07,653 --> 00:32:11,013 Speaker 13: to make your own trip responge. That's fine, but you 617 00:32:11,053 --> 00:32:13,093 Speaker 13: know it is not the time for making life harder 618 00:32:13,093 --> 00:32:17,133 Speaker 13: for ourselves. Get its spring form tin. This feeds about 619 00:32:17,173 --> 00:32:19,853 Speaker 13: ten to twelve, so twenty to twenty two seems to 620 00:32:19,853 --> 00:32:21,693 Speaker 13: me to spring form tin. That's the one that the 621 00:32:21,693 --> 00:32:23,973 Speaker 13: bottoms come out of. If you can, If you haven't, 622 00:32:24,013 --> 00:32:26,093 Speaker 13: just layer it up with baking paper so you can 623 00:32:26,293 --> 00:32:29,413 Speaker 13: lift this whole thing out. Put a double layer of 624 00:32:29,413 --> 00:32:32,173 Speaker 13: baking paper around it, and so that it comes up 625 00:32:32,293 --> 00:32:34,653 Speaker 13: above the rim of the cake tin. Okay, so you've 626 00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:37,573 Speaker 13: got what we call a chef's caller a collar on it. 627 00:32:38,013 --> 00:32:40,653 Speaker 13: That sounds difficult, but it's not. Cut one of your 628 00:32:40,653 --> 00:32:42,733 Speaker 13: sponges through the middle, so that you've now got one 629 00:32:42,773 --> 00:32:45,413 Speaker 13: thick sponge and two thin ones, and cut them to 630 00:32:45,573 --> 00:32:48,253 Speaker 13: the shape of your tin. I if you bought square 631 00:32:48,293 --> 00:32:50,893 Speaker 13: trifle sponges, you're gonna have to round them off. Place 632 00:32:50,933 --> 00:32:52,973 Speaker 13: the thick sponge in the base of the cake tin. 633 00:32:53,053 --> 00:32:55,893 Speaker 13: So it's very much. This is an assembly, which is great. 634 00:32:55,973 --> 00:32:58,493 Speaker 13: Rather than a book. Drizzle with a third of a 635 00:32:58,533 --> 00:33:00,933 Speaker 13: cup or third of about twenty five meals of sherry. 636 00:33:00,973 --> 00:33:03,693 Speaker 13: Sprinkle that over there. Then spoon over a layer of 637 00:33:03,813 --> 00:33:06,773 Speaker 13: custard I buy not an ad but I like it 638 00:33:06,893 --> 00:33:11,173 Speaker 13: is the meadow fresh, thick and creamy. It only comes 639 00:33:11,253 --> 00:33:13,813 Speaker 13: in the big containers, so you'll buy that, but it's 640 00:33:13,853 --> 00:33:18,413 Speaker 13: better than the thinny one. Top this with some peach slices. 641 00:33:18,613 --> 00:33:20,893 Speaker 13: You're going to use about two cups of peach slices. 642 00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:23,413 Speaker 13: Tins will do, but at the moment, the peaches are 643 00:33:23,453 --> 00:33:26,733 Speaker 13: pretty blooming grate. So slice some of those up perps 644 00:33:26,733 --> 00:33:28,373 Speaker 13: and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice over them, 645 00:33:28,413 --> 00:33:30,013 Speaker 13: which will kind of mush them up a little bit, 646 00:33:30,013 --> 00:33:34,173 Speaker 13: which is what we want, and arrange those on top 647 00:33:34,213 --> 00:33:37,533 Speaker 13: of your sponge. Scatter over a third of the raspberries. Again, 648 00:33:37,613 --> 00:33:39,813 Speaker 13: you're going to use about a punet of raspberries in 649 00:33:39,813 --> 00:33:43,253 Speaker 13: this recipe and a punnet of blueberries for the top. 650 00:33:43,293 --> 00:33:45,573 Speaker 13: But use a third of your ras. We squish them 651 00:33:45,573 --> 00:33:48,013 Speaker 13: a little bit. Jack you could use strawberries so that 652 00:33:48,053 --> 00:33:50,613 Speaker 13: they kind of bleed into the custard filling and the sponge. 653 00:33:50,653 --> 00:33:51,133 Speaker 12: I love that. 654 00:33:51,693 --> 00:33:53,693 Speaker 13: Add a second layer of the sponge. This time you're 655 00:33:53,813 --> 00:33:55,973 Speaker 13: using a thin layer because you've cut one of them 656 00:33:55,973 --> 00:33:59,893 Speaker 13: and you know through the middle and repeat. Sherry custard, fruit, 657 00:34:00,053 --> 00:34:03,053 Speaker 13: cherry custard fruit top with the final layer of a 658 00:34:03,133 --> 00:34:07,133 Speaker 13: sherry of sherry soaked sponge. Press it down quite a 659 00:34:07,133 --> 00:34:09,293 Speaker 13: little bit firmly, and I use a little dinner plate 660 00:34:09,373 --> 00:34:11,253 Speaker 13: that can't sit on that, and you really do want 661 00:34:11,253 --> 00:34:13,813 Speaker 13: to chill it overnight, so just pop that and if 662 00:34:13,813 --> 00:34:16,053 Speaker 13: you put a dinner plate on top of it, it'll 663 00:34:16,053 --> 00:34:18,813 Speaker 13: be safe in the fridge.

So why on 785 00:40:41,293 --> 00:40:43,333 Speaker 3: earth after all of that did you decide you want 786 00:40:43,413 --> 00:40:45,053 Speaker 3: to be a real housewife? 787 00:40:45,893 --> 00:40:47,893 Speaker 12: Well, because that's also part of my reality. 788 00:40:48,133 --> 00:40:51,653 Speaker 16: You know, there are so many women like me who 789 00:40:51,773 --> 00:40:55,453 Speaker 16: have had corporate jobs who have you know, done their 790 00:40:55,533 --> 00:40:58,973 Speaker 16: best to try and get promoted and have sometimes you know, 791 00:40:59,093 --> 00:41:01,813 Speaker 16: had challenges in it, have learned a lot of life lessons, 792 00:41:02,053 --> 00:41:06,653 Speaker 16: also balancing motherhood, also balancing wafefood. Also maybe have lost 793 00:41:06,653 --> 00:41:09,613 Speaker 16: a husband, you know, not necessarily the way I did, 794 00:41:09,693 --> 00:41:13,053 Speaker 16: but through divorce and what else. So I felt it 795 00:41:13,093 --> 00:41:16,373 Speaker 16: was really important to represent, you know, that type of 796 00:41:16,413 --> 00:41:19,453 Speaker 16: woman on this type of show because you know, I 797 00:41:19,493 --> 00:41:22,533 Speaker 16: think women who are like me in their late forties 798 00:41:22,533 --> 00:41:25,653 Speaker 16: early fifties also deserve a little bit of love, you know, 799 00:41:26,093 --> 00:41:27,493 Speaker 16: especially from storytelling. 800 00:41:27,893 --> 00:41:32,013 Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, So how do you think that business experience 801 00:41:32,133 --> 00:41:33,653 Speaker 3: helped prepare you for the show? 802 00:41:34,653 --> 00:41:34,813 Speaker 2: Oh? 803 00:41:34,893 --> 00:41:35,973 Speaker 12: I think in a lot of ways. 804 00:41:35,973 --> 00:41:39,293 Speaker 16: I mean, look, when you're a leader, especially of big 805 00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:42,213 Speaker 16: companies where you have a lot of people to work with, 806 00:41:42,533 --> 00:41:47,413 Speaker 16: you very quickly learn solutions, you know, especially conflict resolution 807 00:41:47,613 --> 00:41:53,093 Speaker 16: between people and communication is key, it is paramount, and 808 00:41:53,133 --> 00:41:54,893 Speaker 16: so you have to be clear, you have to be direct, 809 00:41:54,973 --> 00:41:57,373 Speaker 16: you have to give feedback quickly, you know, where people 810 00:41:57,413 --> 00:42:00,333 Speaker 16: can understand what you're saying and not misinterpreted. And so 811 00:42:00,453 --> 00:42:05,133 Speaker 16: that I think has been probably the best practice that 812 00:42:05,253 --> 00:42:10,133 Speaker 16: I've had in communicating with these women who have such 813 00:42:10,213 --> 00:42:14,133 Speaker 16: different backgrounds and who may not always understand my perspective 814 00:42:14,213 --> 00:42:17,053 Speaker 16: or where I'm coming from, and figuring out different ways 815 00:42:17,093 --> 00:42:19,533 Speaker 16: to communicate so that my message can land. 816 00:42:19,653 --> 00:42:21,653 Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely think you achieved that. I think that's 817 00:42:21,693 --> 00:42:24,053 Speaker 3: what fans loved about your Like you just come on 818 00:42:24,173 --> 00:42:26,653 Speaker 3: and you just straight to the point. Not I wouldn't 819 00:42:26,653 --> 00:42:29,653 Speaker 3: say rude, but just direct, And it's kind of refreshing 820 00:42:29,653 --> 00:42:33,493 Speaker 3: in that environment where so much communication is kind of 821 00:42:33,493 --> 00:42:36,933 Speaker 3: what is left unsaid or meaning behind different words, you 822 00:42:36,933 --> 00:42:37,453 Speaker 3: know what I mean. 823 00:42:38,173 --> 00:42:42,453 Speaker 16: That's exactly right, because what's unsaid is what frustrates me 824 00:42:43,053 --> 00:42:45,813 Speaker 16: about like soap operas, you know, because I'm literally like. 825 00:42:46,013 --> 00:42:49,453 Speaker 12: Why did you not just say that he is behind 826 00:42:49,493 --> 00:42:50,653 Speaker 12: the door?

And I'm okay with that. 925 00:46:55,293 --> 00:46:58,653 Speaker 3: Do you have do you have kind of I'm sure 926 00:46:58,653 --> 00:47:01,773 Speaker 3: it's hard to distill a set of principles as such, 927 00:47:01,773 --> 00:47:04,253 Speaker 3: but do you have kind of cool principles that you 928 00:47:04,293 --> 00:47:07,293 Speaker 3: think define your athoughts when it comes to marketing because, 929 00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:09,653 Speaker 3: like I said, you have worked for these extraordinary companies 930 00:47:09,653 --> 00:47:11,253 Speaker 3: in these massive roles. 931 00:47:11,653 --> 00:47:14,653 Speaker 16: Yeah, I do. I mean the thing is that at 932 00:47:14,653 --> 00:47:17,093 Speaker 16: the end of the day, you have to find what 933 00:47:17,293 --> 00:47:21,213 Speaker 16: is unique about the service or the product and then 934 00:47:21,573 --> 00:47:22,453 Speaker 16: hone in on that. 935 00:47:22,733 --> 00:47:23,893 Speaker 12: And so that same. 936 00:47:23,653 --> 00:47:26,853 Speaker 16: Conversation we're just having about authenticity as a human is 937 00:47:26,893 --> 00:47:29,453 Speaker 16: the same way that you approach how you market a 938 00:47:29,493 --> 00:47:33,333 Speaker 16: brand anything an adamant object and person.

But I think you 945 00:47:45,893 --> 00:47:48,093 Speaker 16: and I could probably sit down and you could tell 946 00:47:48,133 --> 00:47:50,133 Speaker 16: me your life story, I'll tell you my life story, 947 00:47:50,213 --> 00:47:52,573 Speaker 16: and maybe we have no intersection at all, you know, 948 00:47:52,653 --> 00:47:56,053 Speaker 16: in our experiences, but we are curious about each other 949 00:47:56,173 --> 00:47:59,333 Speaker 16: because of that, yeah, you know. And so it's like, look, 950 00:47:59,373 --> 00:48:03,053 Speaker 16: when you're building a brand or building yourself or presenting yourself, 951 00:48:03,373 --> 00:48:05,973 Speaker 16: you don't have to be like the lowest common denominator. 952 00:48:06,053 --> 00:48:08,133 Speaker 12: You don't have to be like everybody else. 953 00:48:08,533 --> 00:48:10,853 Speaker 16: But the interesting things about you or what are going 954 00:48:10,893 --> 00:48:11,893 Speaker 16: to make people connect with you. 955 00:48:12,053 --> 00:48:14,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's great advice.

Let's begin with a show 1024 00:51:16,933 --> 00:51:20,413 Speaker 3: streaming on Neon tell Us about Bookish. 1025 00:51:21,013 --> 00:51:24,053 Speaker 17: This is a new cozy crime drama that's just come 1026 00:51:24,053 --> 00:51:26,933 Speaker 17: to Neon and if you're looking for something calm and 1027 00:51:27,013 --> 00:51:29,733 Speaker 17: comforting to watch to get away from all the Christmas chaos, 1028 00:51:29,773 --> 00:51:32,613 Speaker 17: this would be a great choice. This is bookish. It's 1029 00:51:32,613 --> 00:51:35,533 Speaker 17: set in the East End of London in nineteen forty six, 1030 00:51:35,653 --> 00:51:37,853 Speaker 17: so just after the end of the war, and it's 1031 00:51:37,893 --> 00:51:41,533 Speaker 17: about a man called Gabriel Book And Gabriel is quite 1032 00:51:41,573 --> 00:51:45,533 Speaker 17: an eccentric fellow. He owns an antiquarian bookshop full of 1033 00:51:46,133 --> 00:51:50,133 Speaker 17: intriguing titles and rare collections, and he's also an amateur 1034 00:51:50,133 --> 00:51:54,253 Speaker 17: detective and he uses his bookshop and all the information 1035 00:51:54,373 --> 00:51:57,613 Speaker 17: in it to help him unravel these puzzles and solve 1036 00:51:57,653 --> 00:52:00,853 Speaker 17: these strange murders that take place in the East End. 1037 00:52:01,013 --> 00:52:05,333 Speaker 17: And his bookshop attracts this little community of friends who 1038 00:52:05,333 --> 00:52:07,933 Speaker 17: have all been through the war and who will have 1039 00:52:08,093 --> 00:52:11,373 Speaker 17: their own issues to deal with, but they're pulled together 1040 00:52:11,413 --> 00:52:14,213 Speaker 17: by Gabriel and his wife Trotty, who give them lots 1041 00:52:14,253 --> 00:52:18,413 Speaker 17: of helpful advice. And so you've got this quirky traditional 1042 00:52:18,693 --> 00:52:21,733 Speaker 17: English murder mystery series. But it's set in this time 1043 00:52:21,773 --> 00:52:25,773 Speaker 17: when British society was trying to recover and rebuild itself 1044 00:52:25,813 --> 00:52:29,133 Speaker 17: after the war. Mark Gattis, who's been in Sherlock and 1045 00:52:29,173 --> 00:52:31,373 Speaker 17: a League of Gentlemen, wrote this and he starts as 1046 00:52:31,413 --> 00:52:34,773 Speaker 17: Gabriel and the show has it like a Poi rot 1047 00:52:34,933 --> 00:52:38,213 Speaker 17: Agatha Christie kind of vibe to it. It's pretty gentle. 1048 00:52:38,293 --> 00:52:41,453 Speaker 17: There's some humor and some quirkiness sprinkled through it as well. 1049 00:52:42,453 --> 00:52:44,773 Speaker 17: It's a comfort watch. I think British murder mystery fans 1050 00:52:44,773 --> 00:52:46,653 Speaker 17: will adore this very charming. 1051 00:52:46,853 --> 00:52:50,133 Speaker 3: Yeah nice, okay, cool, that's bookish. It's on Neon. Also 1052 00:52:50,253 --> 00:52:53,013 Speaker 3: on Neon from January ninth, there's a new season of 1053 00:52:53,053 --> 00:52:53,333 Speaker 3: The Pit. 1054 00:52:54,533 --> 00:52:54,733 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1055 00:52:54,733 --> 00:52:57,013 Speaker 17: The Pit was one of the best shows of twenty 1056 00:52:57,053 --> 00:53:00,053 Speaker 17: twenty five. Season one landed in January. It went on 1057 00:53:00,133 --> 00:53:03,053 Speaker 17: to win Best Drama at the Emmys and has had 1058 00:53:03,373 --> 00:53:06,093 Speaker 17: a lot of hype around it and rave reviews and 1059 00:53:06,133 --> 00:53:08,653 Speaker 17: see and two starts in the new year. And The 1060 00:53:08,653 --> 00:53:13,653 Speaker 17: Pit is an intense, gritty medical drama. If you like Er, 1061 00:53:13,933 --> 00:53:16,093 Speaker 17: you will love The Pitch. This stars Noel Wiley, who 1062 00:53:16,133 --> 00:53:19,213 Speaker 17: also start in Er. And he plays a doctor called 1063 00:53:19,293 --> 00:53:22,413 Speaker 17: Robbie who leads the emergency room of a hospital in 1064 00:53:22,453 --> 00:53:27,093 Speaker 17: Pittsburgh and they're dealing with a never ending line of 1065 00:53:27,213 --> 00:53:30,293 Speaker 17: patients and crises. But The thing that makes The Pit 1066 00:53:30,453 --> 00:53:33,693 Speaker 17: so compelling is that it unfolds in real time. So 1067 00:53:34,213 --> 00:53:38,173 Speaker 17: the entire season follows one continuous, fifteen hour shift at 1068 00:53:38,213 --> 00:53:40,653 Speaker 17: the hospital, and so episode one is the first hour 1069 00:53:40,653 --> 00:53:42,613 Speaker 17: of the shift and so on. But you're there for 1070 00:53:42,733 --> 00:53:45,653 Speaker 17: the whole ride, from start to finish. You can't look 1071 00:53:45,653 --> 00:53:49,493 Speaker 17: away or escape that intensity. Nearly all of the drama 1072 00:53:49,533 --> 00:53:52,693 Speaker 17: takes place inside, with the fluorescent lights and the noise 1073 00:53:52,773 --> 00:53:56,173 Speaker 17: and the stress, and so it's very realistic and it's 1074 00:53:56,213 --> 00:53:58,213 Speaker 17: about what it's like to be on the front line 1075 00:53:58,253 --> 00:54:02,053 Speaker 17: of the American healthcare system. Season two takes place on 1076 00:54:02,133 --> 00:54:04,813 Speaker 17: the fourth of July. It's Robbie's last shift before he 1077 00:54:04,853 --> 00:54:07,693 Speaker 17: goes on leave, and the computer system has gone down, 1078 00:54:07,773 --> 00:54:11,453 Speaker 17: so no shortage of chaos in season two. I highly 1079 00:54:11,493 --> 00:54:13,773 Speaker 17: recommend that's definitely one of the best shows of the year. 1080 00:54:13,893 --> 00:54:16,373 Speaker 17: Season one is on Neon now, and as you say, 1081 00:54:16,373 --> 00:54:18,053 Speaker 17: season two starts on January ninth. 1082 00:54:18,133 --> 00:54:20,053 Speaker 3: So my brother has been going on and on about this. 1083 00:54:20,093 --> 00:54:22,573 Speaker 3: As soon as the new promo for you know, the 1084 00:54:22,573 --> 00:54:24,733 Speaker 3: trailer for the new season of The Pit came through, 1085 00:54:25,293 --> 00:54:27,093 Speaker 3: he sent it to me, but he said that it 1086 00:54:27,173 --> 00:54:30,853 Speaker 3: is like really intense, and the same way kind of that. 1087 00:54:30,893 --> 00:54:33,173 Speaker 3: The Bear is intense, Like you really, it's not a 1088 00:54:33,213 --> 00:54:35,773 Speaker 3: relaxing watch just before bed. You know, you can't need 1089 00:54:35,813 --> 00:54:37,933 Speaker 3: half an hour to bring yourself down afterwards. Is that fair? 1090 00:54:38,733 --> 00:54:41,453 Speaker 17: Exactly? And I think, you know, it's one episode a week, 1091 00:54:41,493 --> 00:54:43,933 Speaker 17: and I think that's probably maybe the best way just 1092 00:54:43,973 --> 00:54:46,693 Speaker 17: to watch it, just to immerse yourself in that hour 1093 00:54:46,813 --> 00:54:48,613 Speaker 17: and then have a wee rest afterwards. 1094 00:54:48,693 --> 00:54:50,733 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, very good. So that's the new season of 1095 00:54:50,773 --> 00:54:53,013 Speaker 3: The Pit that's on Neon from January ninth and on 1096 00:54:53,053 --> 00:54:56,453 Speaker 3: Netflix from the first of January. Harlan Coben Runaway. 1097 00:54:57,573 --> 00:54:57,773 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1098 00:54:57,813 --> 00:55:00,493 Speaker 17: Every New Yearsday. For the past few years, Netflix has 1099 00:55:00,533 --> 00:55:03,733 Speaker 17: released a very bingeable thriller series based on one of 1100 00:55:03,853 --> 00:55:07,173 Speaker 17: Harlan Coben's best selling books. I think eleven Harlan Coben's 1101 00:55:07,173 --> 00:55:09,293 Speaker 17: books have been made into Netflix shows and they have 1102 00:55:09,373 --> 00:55:12,853 Speaker 17: all been huge hits, and I think this latest one, Runaway, 1103 00:55:12,893 --> 00:55:17,053 Speaker 17: will be exactly the same. This stars James Nesbit, Ruth Jones, 1104 00:55:17,053 --> 00:55:21,213 Speaker 17: and Mini Driver. James Nesbit plays a father whose perfect 1105 00:55:21,293 --> 00:55:24,373 Speaker 17: life starts to fall apart when his adult daughter goes missing. 1106 00:55:25,693 --> 00:55:28,213 Speaker 17: In his search to find her, he gets caught up 1107 00:55:28,333 --> 00:55:31,813 Speaker 17: in a murder case and uncovers a lot of secrets 1108 00:55:32,093 --> 00:55:34,413 Speaker 17: that could destroy his family, and it's about how far 1109 00:55:34,933 --> 00:55:37,933 Speaker 17: he will go to protect his family. And I think 1110 00:55:38,573 --> 00:55:40,973 Speaker 17: this is the perfect kind of TV to watch from 1111 00:55:40,973 --> 00:55:44,053 Speaker 17: the couch on New Year's Day. Essentially, it's very similar 1112 00:55:44,093 --> 00:55:48,013 Speaker 17: to every other Harlan Coben series, but still extremely watchable. 1113 00:55:48,533 --> 00:55:50,373 Speaker 17: It's glossy, it's got a great cast. 1114 00:55:50,573 --> 00:55:51,733 Speaker 2: There's lots of twists. 1115 00:55:51,453 --> 00:55:54,653 Speaker 17: And clippingers, and I think you can forget those moments 1116 00:55:54,693 --> 00:55:57,973 Speaker 17: of melodrama or cliches that might pop up because it's 1117 00:55:58,053 --> 00:56:01,613 Speaker 17: just entertaining TV. It's suctually one from the start, you know, 1118 00:56:01,653 --> 00:56:03,773 Speaker 17: it's a tried and true format for Netflix and it 1119 00:56:03,933 --> 00:56:05,093 Speaker 17: just delivers every time. 1120 00:56:05,213 --> 00:56:09,493 Speaker 3: Oh very good. So that's Harlan Coben Runaway. Tara's other shows, 1121 00:56:09,533 --> 00:56:12,013 Speaker 3: Bookish is on Neon and The Pit is on Neon 1122 00:56:12,133 --> 00:56:13,853 Speaker 3: from January ninth, all of those will be up on 1123 00:56:13,853 --> 00:56:16,653 Speaker 3: the News Talks he'd be website Tara, what are you 1124 00:56:16,773 --> 00:56:18,973 Speaker 3: doing for the Christmas break?

So much new music across such diverse 1158 00:58:29,493 --> 00:58:31,813 Speaker 3: genres means anyone you talk to is going to have 1159 00:58:31,813 --> 00:58:34,293 Speaker 3: a different pick for their top album of twenty twenty five. 1160 00:58:34,333 --> 00:58:36,733 Speaker 3: But our music review is going to be in before 1161 00:58:36,773 --> 00:58:39,973 Speaker 3: midday to try and wade through it all, to wade 1162 00:58:39,973 --> 00:58:42,973 Speaker 3: through the vast offerings of this year and share his 1163 00:58:43,093 --> 00:58:45,173 Speaker 3: top picks for the best of twenty twenty five. So 1164 00:58:45,253 --> 00:58:48,773 Speaker 3: we want best song, best album, and best concert of 1165 00:58:48,813 --> 00:58:51,453 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. We will do that before midday today. 1166 00:58:51,893 --> 00:58:53,533 Speaker 3: Thank you for your messages. Paul has sent me a 1167 00:58:53,533 --> 00:58:56,053 Speaker 3: note to say Jack regarding The Pit the TV show. 1168 00:58:56,093 --> 00:58:58,733 Speaker 3: The Pit my wife and I have been enjoying it, 1169 00:58:58,773 --> 00:59:01,653 Speaker 3: but I think if you binge it, you will do 1170 00:59:01,733 --> 00:59:05,893 Speaker 3: some emotional damage to yourself. It is just so so intense. 1171 00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:08,693 Speaker 3: Thank you for that word of warning, Paul. We appreciate it. 1172 00:59:08,813 --> 00:59:10,613 Speaker 3: In a couple of minutes, our texpert is in with 1173 00:59:10,733 --> 00:59:14,373 Speaker 3: his thoughts on the year that was in artificial intelligence, 1174 00:59:14,813 --> 00:59:17,213 Speaker 3: and before eleven o'clock we're in the garden as well. 1175 00:59:17,293 --> 00:59:19,213 Speaker 3: Right now, it's twenty eight minutes to eleven non news 1176 00:59:19,213 --> 00:59:22,213 Speaker 3: Talk seed B, twenty five to eleven non news talk 1177 00:59:22,213 --> 00:59:25,293 Speaker 3: seed B. It has been a stonking year for AI. 1178 00:59:25,453 --> 00:59:28,733 Speaker 3: So just look at open Ai, the makers of chat GPT. 1179 00:59:29,293 --> 00:59:32,693 Speaker 3: They are on track now to thirteen billion US dollars 1180 00:59:32,733 --> 00:59:35,213 Speaker 3: in revenue for this year, which is up from four 1181 00:59:35,293 --> 00:59:38,093 Speaker 3: billion US in twenty twenty four. But they're looking at 1182 00:59:38,093 --> 00:59:41,893 Speaker 3: maybe hitting annualized revenue of about nineteen billion dollars, which 1183 00:59:41,933 --> 00:59:45,493 Speaker 3: is extraordinary. That's just from the paid user accounts on 1184 00:59:45,893 --> 00:59:47,773 Speaker 3: chat gpt, and of course you can just use the 1185 00:59:47,773 --> 00:59:50,973 Speaker 3: free version. Texbert Paul Stenhouse is here to look back 1186 00:59:51,053 --> 00:59:55,093 Speaker 3: at the year in artificial intelligence. Paul, did they get 1187 00:59:55,133 --> 00:59:57,413 Speaker 3: as far as you expected they would get this year? 1188 00:59:58,453 --> 00:59:58,773 Speaker 5: Oh? 1189 00:59:58,853 --> 00:59:59,533 Speaker 4: Good question. 1190 00:59:59,853 --> 01:00:01,373 Speaker 13: I think they did. 1191 01:00:01,493 --> 01:00:04,933 Speaker 14: To be honest, Jack, I use a lot of I 1192 01:00:05,013 --> 01:00:07,653 Speaker 14: say that as someone who uses AI a lot for 1193 01:00:08,933 --> 01:00:11,733 Speaker 14: coding and technical things, and it seems to be one 1194 01:00:11,733 --> 01:00:15,013 Speaker 14: of the areas where I've really leaned into it. There 1195 01:00:15,013 --> 01:00:17,653 Speaker 14: seems to be a war at the moment between open 1196 01:00:17,693 --> 01:00:21,693 Speaker 14: AI and Google, Gemini and Anthropic to really kind of 1197 01:00:22,093 --> 01:00:25,333 Speaker 14: nail the software developer experience. They're typically people who want 1198 01:00:25,333 --> 01:00:29,493 Speaker 14: to try new things that are usually pretty okay with change. 1199 01:00:30,213 --> 01:00:32,533 Speaker 14: And what's interesting about code is there's a sort of 1200 01:00:32,533 --> 01:00:36,413 Speaker 14: corpus of old projects you can reference and also kind 1201 01:00:36,453 --> 01:00:39,413 Speaker 14: of documentation as well. Right, so it lends itself quite 1202 01:00:39,413 --> 01:00:43,653 Speaker 14: well to AI. But it still isn't perfect. But when 1203 01:00:43,653 --> 01:00:46,933 Speaker 14: I think about the things that it could largely could 1204 01:00:46,933 --> 01:00:51,333 Speaker 14: not do a year ago or two years ago, Wow, 1205 01:00:51,493 --> 01:00:53,613 Speaker 14: it has come a really really long way. It is 1206 01:00:53,653 --> 01:00:55,533 Speaker 14: not perfect, but it's come a really really long way. 1207 01:00:56,493 --> 01:00:58,493 Speaker 14: I think it's just interesting too that the people who 1208 01:00:58,493 --> 01:01:02,813 Speaker 14: probably have never touched, of touched or thought of AI 1209 01:01:03,093 --> 01:01:04,933 Speaker 14: maybe this year gave it a go. 1210 01:01:05,373 --> 01:01:05,453 Speaker 2: Ye. 1211 01:01:05,693 --> 01:01:07,933 Speaker 14: I feel like it's reach a far wider, you know, 1212 01:01:08,013 --> 01:01:10,533 Speaker 14: group of people. They've kind of started to dabble as 1213 01:01:10,573 --> 01:01:13,813 Speaker 14: things have become you know, a little more baked into 1214 01:01:13,893 --> 01:01:16,013 Speaker 14: some of the services that they use every day. 1215 01:01:16,173 --> 01:01:23,373 Speaker 3: Yeah, so what is your preferred text generation service at 1216 01:01:23,373 --> 01:01:25,533 Speaker 3: the moment? You do you still stick with chat GPT 1217 01:01:25,693 --> 01:01:29,173 Speaker 3: because in recent months there has been a bit of 1218 01:01:29,173 --> 01:01:32,013 Speaker 3: a sense that Google is catching up, that Gemini is 1219 01:01:32,093 --> 01:01:34,933 Speaker 3: actually getting as good, if not maybe better than chat GPT. 1220 01:01:35,653 --> 01:01:37,373 Speaker 14: Yeah, and it really depends what you want to use 1221 01:01:37,413 --> 01:01:39,253 Speaker 14: it for. And I know that sounds like a bit 1222 01:01:39,253 --> 01:01:41,413 Speaker 14: of a cop out, but if for example, in the 1223 01:01:41,453 --> 01:01:45,093 Speaker 14: coding world, it seems to change every literally every few weeks, 1224 01:01:45,093 --> 01:01:48,453 Speaker 14: as these models get tweaked and they're making changes and deployments. 1225 01:01:48,693 --> 01:01:51,853 Speaker 14: Now when it comes to things like you know, some 1226 01:01:51,893 --> 01:01:55,573 Speaker 14: are slightly more creative, some are better with academic some 1227 01:01:55,613 --> 01:01:58,733 Speaker 14: are better with more formal type of writing, some are 1228 01:01:58,773 --> 01:02:02,093 Speaker 14: better at puzzing PDFs. And I'm making understanding it really 1229 01:02:02,213 --> 01:02:05,733 Speaker 14: does change based on the type of task that you're doing, 1230 01:02:05,773 --> 01:02:10,093 Speaker 14: which I know sounds crazy, but they do sort of 1231 01:02:10,133 --> 01:02:12,333 Speaker 14: have this this is going to sound even crazy, ear 1232 01:02:12,533 --> 01:02:15,013 Speaker 14: They almost have this kind of like personality behind them 1233 01:02:15,133 --> 01:02:18,013 Speaker 14: jack or like a skill level because they are trained 1234 01:02:18,093 --> 01:02:20,773 Speaker 14: on things and they do have these kind of hidden 1235 01:02:20,853 --> 01:02:23,813 Speaker 14: instructions telling them how they should be working and how 1236 01:02:23,853 --> 01:02:27,253 Speaker 14: they should be responding and if they should be, you know, 1237 01:02:27,373 --> 01:02:29,893 Speaker 14: responding more succinctly. 1238 01:02:29,493 --> 01:02:31,253 Speaker 18: Or giving you more sources. 1239 01:02:31,253 --> 01:02:33,253 Speaker 14: And all of these things are baked in the background, 1240 01:02:33,293 --> 01:02:35,893 Speaker 14: so things that you don't even see about those agents 1241 01:02:35,933 --> 01:02:39,373 Speaker 14: are kind of controlling them. So I would say try 1242 01:02:39,413 --> 01:02:39,933 Speaker 14: some of them. 1243 01:02:39,973 --> 01:02:40,653 Speaker 13: There's lots of. 1244 01:02:40,613 --> 01:02:43,293 Speaker 14: Them that start out for free. I found things like 1245 01:02:43,373 --> 01:02:46,253 Speaker 14: Perplexity to be really good for kind of currents from 1246 01:02:46,253 --> 01:02:50,453 Speaker 14: trying to do anything about current information. I find, you know, 1247 01:02:50,733 --> 01:02:53,173 Speaker 14: the geminis of the world. If you're a Google Drive 1248 01:02:53,653 --> 01:02:56,573 Speaker 14: or Google kind of workspace user, it's really easy to 1249 01:02:56,613 --> 01:02:58,613 Speaker 14: tap into that world and get it to understand some 1250 01:02:58,693 --> 01:03:02,213 Speaker 14: things about the documents you already have in there. So yeah, 1251 01:03:02,333 --> 01:03:04,173 Speaker 14: it's just you can just you can kind of pick 1252 01:03:04,173 --> 01:03:04,533 Speaker 14: and choose. 1253 01:03:04,613 --> 01:03:07,853 Speaker 3: You can experm yeah, yeah, if wand to different things. 1254 01:03:08,133 --> 01:03:10,613 Speaker 14: Yeah, and then music dedicated apps too, right, so things 1255 01:03:10,653 --> 01:03:13,333 Speaker 14: like if you've ever made a PowerPoint presentation and you 1256 01:03:13,373 --> 01:03:15,213 Speaker 14: never want to have to do that ever again, there's 1257 01:03:15,213 --> 01:03:18,333 Speaker 14: an app called Gamma for example. Oh so we're starting 1258 01:03:18,373 --> 01:03:22,173 Speaker 14: to see really specialized AI tools that you can use 1259 01:03:22,213 --> 01:03:23,773 Speaker 14: to do very specifically. 1260 01:03:23,973 --> 01:03:26,533 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, okay, so can I put you on the 1261 01:03:26,533 --> 01:03:28,213 Speaker 3: spot and ask you for a couple of predictions in 1262 01:03:28,213 --> 01:03:31,373 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, do you think Okay, first of all, 1263 01:03:31,413 --> 01:03:34,373 Speaker 3: do you think that we are going to achieve this 1264 01:03:34,573 --> 01:03:39,133 Speaker 3: agi artificial general intelligence which is the kind of you know, 1265 01:03:39,173 --> 01:03:41,973 Speaker 3: the kind of guiding star for many of these big 1266 01:03:41,973 --> 01:03:45,173 Speaker 3: tech firms. They want to basically achieve artificial intelligence that 1267 01:03:45,213 --> 01:03:47,133 Speaker 3: can do anything and more that a human can do. 1268 01:03:48,853 --> 01:03:50,053 Speaker 18: Not in twenty twenty six. 1269 01:03:50,573 --> 01:03:52,693 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think so either. I don't think so either. 1270 01:03:52,693 --> 01:03:56,533 Speaker 3: I think if anything, even though the large language models, 1271 01:03:56,573 --> 01:03:59,453 Speaker 3: the text generators, the chat GPTs of the world are improving, 1272 01:04:00,853 --> 01:04:03,733 Speaker 3: and certainly that the models that are helping with coding 1273 01:04:03,773 --> 01:04:08,093 Speaker 3: have improved massively, I think we're probably not. It feels 1274 01:04:08,093 --> 01:04:11,893 Speaker 3: like the kind of incremental improvements now as opposed to 1275 01:04:12,053 --> 01:04:14,133 Speaker 3: really big lockstep improvements, you know what I mean. 1276 01:04:14,173 --> 01:04:15,173 Speaker 19: Here's what's interesting, right. 1277 01:04:15,253 --> 01:04:18,333 Speaker 14: It can produce a lot of stuff. And that's why 1278 01:04:18,693 --> 01:04:22,053 Speaker 14: the Merriam Webster word of the Year is slop because 1279 01:04:22,093 --> 01:04:24,453 Speaker 14: that's what it's known as AI slop. Right, These things 1280 01:04:24,493 --> 01:04:27,933 Speaker 14: just create stuff, whatever that is. But when you start 1281 01:04:27,933 --> 01:04:30,333 Speaker 14: to look at like coding is a really specific example 1282 01:04:30,373 --> 01:04:33,333 Speaker 14: and a really good example because it can produce code, 1283 01:04:33,373 --> 01:04:35,773 Speaker 14: and you can test to see if it works very 1284 01:04:35,773 --> 01:04:38,693 Speaker 14: easily and very quickly when it spits out sentences and 1285 01:04:38,733 --> 01:04:44,533 Speaker 14: sentences about quantum physics or how to you know, look 1286 01:04:44,573 --> 01:04:47,253 Speaker 14: after a dog, you know, like it will give you information, 1287 01:04:47,293 --> 01:04:50,493 Speaker 14: it will give you words. Yeah, they may be sentences, 1288 01:04:50,533 --> 01:04:53,853 Speaker 14: they may be paragraphs, but is the content actually good 1289 01:04:53,933 --> 01:04:57,373 Speaker 14: and is it actually correct? And it's sometimes when you 1290 01:04:57,373 --> 01:05:00,053 Speaker 14: really if you start to use AI for things you 1291 01:05:00,133 --> 01:05:02,453 Speaker 14: know a lot about, or if you give it very 1292 01:05:02,493 --> 01:05:06,173 Speaker 14: specific documents, for example, and you're asking very specific questions, 1293 01:05:06,773 --> 01:05:08,813 Speaker 14: it's very easy for you to then start to see 1294 01:05:08,813 --> 01:05:10,373 Speaker 14: where where it goes wrong. 1295 01:05:10,493 --> 01:05:10,933 Speaker 7: Yeah. Right. 1296 01:05:11,253 --> 01:05:12,173 Speaker 12: I heard someone. 1297 01:05:11,933 --> 01:05:16,053 Speaker 14: Refer to it the other day as a veneer of intelligence, Yeah, 1298 01:05:16,053 --> 01:05:17,413 Speaker 14: which I thought was quite interesting. 1299 01:05:17,533 --> 01:05:20,653 Speaker 3: Yeah. Nice, Okay, I like that, the veneer of intelligence. 1300 01:05:21,053 --> 01:05:24,293 Speaker 3: My next My next question, repredictions. Do you think that 1301 01:05:24,893 --> 01:05:27,533 Speaker 3: we are going to see an AI bubble burst. 1302 01:05:28,773 --> 01:05:29,613 Speaker 14: My portfolio? 1303 01:05:29,693 --> 01:05:29,933 Speaker 7: Short? 1304 01:05:30,173 --> 01:05:32,093 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1305 01:05:33,253 --> 01:05:38,213 Speaker 14: Not, I don't think not yet. Okay, Look, I think 1306 01:05:38,253 --> 01:05:40,933 Speaker 14: we still need a lot of things, right. I just 1307 01:05:40,973 --> 01:05:42,813 Speaker 14: saw a news article today. There's a lot of pushback, 1308 01:05:42,853 --> 01:05:46,813 Speaker 14: for example, from locals on AI data centers or data 1309 01:05:46,813 --> 01:05:49,213 Speaker 14: centers in general, that people don't want them in their communities, 1310 01:05:49,413 --> 01:05:51,933 Speaker 14: they suck up utilities, drive up power prices, et cetera, 1311 01:05:52,013 --> 01:05:53,733 Speaker 14: et cetera, kind of these types of things. So we may, 1312 01:05:54,293 --> 01:05:56,853 Speaker 14: you know, we may see some really interesting pushback. Yeah, 1313 01:05:57,053 --> 01:05:59,013 Speaker 14: that starts to kind of soften some of this kind 1314 01:05:59,013 --> 01:06:02,493 Speaker 14: of AI hype. But look, isn't it the art of 1315 01:06:02,813 --> 01:06:05,333 Speaker 14: isn't it the kind of a g I type, you know, 1316 01:06:05,813 --> 01:06:09,293 Speaker 14: general and dilligence level where it can really do anything right, 1317 01:06:09,333 --> 01:06:11,453 Speaker 14: but it can do a lot of interesting stuff. 1318 01:06:11,893 --> 01:06:12,813 Speaker 18: And I think. 1319 01:06:12,653 --> 01:06:14,893 Speaker 14: Where we will see is in this next year when 1320 01:06:14,933 --> 01:06:20,053 Speaker 14: people really start to integrate AI into their workflows, because 1321 01:06:20,053 --> 01:06:22,013 Speaker 14: it really does have kind of, you know, in some fields, 1322 01:06:22,013 --> 01:06:27,013 Speaker 14: the intelligence quote unquote of like a junior employee. When 1323 01:06:27,013 --> 01:06:28,733 Speaker 14: we start to see that, I think that's when we'll 1324 01:06:28,733 --> 01:06:33,333 Speaker 14: see what the what the real impact is the economy. 1325 01:06:32,853 --> 01:06:36,373 Speaker 3: And everything else to serve everything else. Ye, okay, So 1326 01:06:36,533 --> 01:06:38,573 Speaker 3: it was a big year for AI. Next year's hat 1327 01:06:38,613 --> 01:06:40,493 Speaker 3: to be a big year for AI, but you twenty 1328 01:06:40,533 --> 01:06:42,693 Speaker 3: twenty five was also a big year for past keys. 1329 01:06:43,253 --> 01:06:44,973 Speaker 14: I know, Jack, it's the last show of the year. 1330 01:06:45,013 --> 01:06:48,413 Speaker 14: I usually always give my PSA that says, if you've 1331 01:06:48,453 --> 01:06:50,573 Speaker 14: got some time over the holidays, you should update your 1332 01:06:50,613 --> 01:06:54,493 Speaker 14: past words. But twenty twenty five has been the year 1333 01:06:54,533 --> 01:06:57,533 Speaker 14: of the past key, which it's this new kind of 1334 01:06:57,573 --> 01:07:01,453 Speaker 14: alternative to passwords that's coming. And it's great because if 1335 01:07:01,493 --> 01:07:03,533 Speaker 14: you think of a password, you kind of just yell 1336 01:07:03,613 --> 01:07:05,973 Speaker 14: it at the website that you're going to and if 1337 01:07:05,973 --> 01:07:08,733 Speaker 14: you're the if it's the wrong website, can hear the 1338 01:07:08,733 --> 01:07:09,693 Speaker 14: password effectively. 1339 01:07:09,813 --> 01:07:12,253 Speaker 3: Right. What past keys are is it goes, hey. 1340 01:07:12,493 --> 01:07:13,053 Speaker 2: Who are you? 1341 01:07:13,093 --> 01:07:15,133 Speaker 14: And you go, I'm Jack, And I go, well, Jack, 1342 01:07:15,373 --> 01:07:18,053 Speaker 14: I've got something for you, but only because you're Jack, 1343 01:07:18,173 --> 01:07:18,773 Speaker 14: and that's. 1344 01:07:18,573 --> 01:07:19,773 Speaker 3: The past key. 1345 01:07:20,733 --> 01:07:23,693 Speaker 14: How is that the more secure they are, more they 1346 01:07:23,693 --> 01:07:27,813 Speaker 14: are encrypted, they get stored significantly more securely on your device. 1347 01:07:29,813 --> 01:07:32,213 Speaker 14: You want to find out a little bit more about them. 1348 01:07:32,293 --> 01:07:34,293 Speaker 14: I do think the other way that everything is going. 1349 01:07:34,493 --> 01:07:36,613 Speaker 14: They are a little tricky though, because they do kind 1350 01:07:36,613 --> 01:07:40,053 Speaker 14: of get stuck on the device or the service at 1351 01:07:40,093 --> 01:07:42,973 Speaker 14: which you generate them for. Right, So, because we need 1352 01:07:43,053 --> 01:07:45,933 Speaker 14: to have that little handshaky thing we do. Imagine if 1353 01:07:45,973 --> 01:07:47,773 Speaker 14: you only have the paskey on your computer and then 1354 01:07:47,813 --> 01:07:50,773 Speaker 14: you lose your computer. So you've got to put them 1355 01:07:50,773 --> 01:07:53,533 Speaker 14: into things like password managers. You've got to make sure 1356 01:07:53,533 --> 01:07:55,653 Speaker 14: you have things like a recovery email a set on 1357 01:07:55,693 --> 01:07:59,133 Speaker 14: your account, things like that. But they are great. They 1358 01:07:59,133 --> 01:08:02,653 Speaker 14: stop phishing. I don't see why every bank hasn't been 1359 01:08:02,693 --> 01:08:03,533 Speaker 14: adopting them. 1360 01:08:03,573 --> 01:08:06,333 Speaker 3: Because they make you more sence. 1361 01:08:06,373 --> 01:08:08,173 Speaker 14: It's like a no brainer makes it secure. 1362 01:08:08,333 --> 01:08:11,293 Speaker 3: Yea, Hey, thank you so much, Paul. Have a fantastic 1363 01:08:11,533 --> 01:08:14,773 Speaker 3: Christmas and we will catch igi in very soon. Paul Stenhouse, 1364 01:08:14,893 --> 01:08:17,933 Speaker 3: our texpert.

Are you? Are you 1376 01:08:47,133 --> 01:08:48,613 Speaker 3: a Christmas spirit kind of guy? 1377 01:08:49,613 --> 01:08:52,413 Speaker 20: Signs I've been counting it down since mid November. The 1378 01:08:52,533 --> 01:08:56,013 Speaker 20: tree is up, that ignog is ordered, and my family 1379 01:08:56,053 --> 01:08:57,693 Speaker 20: aren't going to be leaving my house. A couple of 1380 01:08:57,733 --> 01:08:59,373 Speaker 20: kilos heavre come Christmas. 1381 01:08:59,653 --> 01:09:03,053 Speaker 3: I'm pleased to hear ignock. See do you actually do ignog? 1382 01:09:03,173 --> 01:09:03,293 Speaker 21: Is that? 1383 01:09:03,293 --> 01:09:04,293 Speaker 3: Are you actually into ignock? 1384 01:09:05,013 --> 01:09:06,093 Speaker 4: Yeah? But we'll we'll. 1385 01:09:05,933 --> 01:09:08,053 Speaker 20: Gone by it right. We're not going to be making 1386 01:09:08,053 --> 01:09:11,573 Speaker 20: this ourselves because my grandma never taught me how to 1387 01:09:11,613 --> 01:09:12,853 Speaker 20: do that, you see, Jack. 1388 01:09:12,853 --> 01:09:16,253 Speaker 3: No, fair enough. I'm into eggnog in a big way. 1389 01:09:16,293 --> 01:09:18,093 Speaker 3: And when I lived in the States, I used to 1390 01:09:18,173 --> 01:09:20,493 Speaker 3: love a cheeky little bit of eggnog. But you just 1391 01:09:20,573 --> 01:09:22,533 Speaker 3: don't see as much in New Zealand. I suppose because 1392 01:09:22,533 --> 01:09:26,213 Speaker 3: it's warm, right, we don't necessarily want hot drinks. But yeah, 1393 01:09:26,213 --> 01:09:28,013 Speaker 3: I don't mind a bit of eggnog. So I'm pleased 1394 01:09:28,013 --> 01:09:31,293 Speaker 3: to hear that. I'm not the only one anyway. No, 1395 01:09:31,373 --> 01:09:32,653 Speaker 3: you were going to say something wrong. 1396 01:09:32,693 --> 01:09:33,853 Speaker 20: I was going to say, you could always have an 1397 01:09:33,853 --> 01:09:36,533 Speaker 20: ice jack that'll keep you calling a nice summer's day. 1398 01:09:36,613 --> 01:09:37,653 Speaker 3: That's true. That's true. 1399 01:09:37,773 --> 01:09:37,973 Speaker 7: Right. 1400 01:09:38,373 --> 01:09:40,413 Speaker 3: Is it still a good idea to buy the worst 1401 01:09:40,453 --> 01:09:42,853 Speaker 3: house on the best street. It always feels like that 1402 01:09:43,013 --> 01:09:46,653 Speaker 3: is the kind of age old advice for anyone looking 1403 01:09:46,653 --> 01:09:48,453 Speaker 3: for a bit of capital growth in their property. 1404 01:09:49,573 --> 01:09:51,533 Speaker 20: Well, that is one of the ideas that you often 1405 01:09:51,533 --> 01:09:53,493 Speaker 20: here and I wanted to understand where did this come 1406 01:09:53,533 --> 01:09:55,333 Speaker 20: from and is it still a good idea? And I 1407 01:09:55,333 --> 01:09:58,213 Speaker 20: suppose the idea is that if you buy quite a 1408 01:09:58,333 --> 01:10:00,653 Speaker 20: cheap house and a really nice suburb and then you 1409 01:10:00,773 --> 01:10:03,933 Speaker 20: do it up, the kind of feeling for how expensive 1410 01:10:03,973 --> 01:10:07,813 Speaker 20: that property could become hit high. So maybe you'll get 1411 01:10:07,813 --> 01:10:10,413 Speaker 20: some good games there. I suppose the other thing if 1412 01:10:10,413 --> 01:10:12,213 Speaker 20: you're buying a house for yourself to live, and you 1413 01:10:12,213 --> 01:10:14,853 Speaker 20: can always change the house, or at least do it up, 1414 01:10:14,853 --> 01:10:17,893 Speaker 20: but you can't really change the location. Now I've dugn 1415 01:10:18,053 --> 01:10:20,373 Speaker 20: a little bit more into the numbers, and one of 1416 01:10:20,413 --> 01:10:23,773 Speaker 20: the questions I had is we'll do house prices go 1417 01:10:24,013 --> 01:10:28,173 Speaker 20: up faster in some of those hiring suburbs. Well, if 1418 01:10:28,173 --> 01:10:30,413 Speaker 20: we look at some of the most expensive suburbs and 1419 01:10:30,453 --> 01:10:33,373 Speaker 20: the country, like Herne Bay. Over the last twenty five years, 1420 01:10:33,373 --> 01:10:36,693 Speaker 20: house prices have gone up there seven point three percent 1421 01:10:36,813 --> 01:10:40,573 Speaker 20: per year. In ode Ark or remu Era, both really 1422 01:10:40,653 --> 01:10:43,653 Speaker 20: nice suburbs, house bruce has gone up over the same 1423 01:10:43,693 --> 01:10:46,573 Speaker 20: period about six point seven percent. But what might surprise 1424 01:10:46,933 --> 01:10:49,053 Speaker 20: a lot of people is if we look at a 1425 01:10:49,093 --> 01:10:53,013 Speaker 20: suburb like Otara, which is a more lower socioeconomic suburb, 1426 01:10:53,213 --> 01:10:56,413 Speaker 20: it's nice but it's not as flash. House prices there 1427 01:10:56,453 --> 01:11:00,053 Speaker 20: actually went up faster over the last twenty five years 1428 01:11:00,333 --> 01:11:03,413 Speaker 20: than some of those nicer suburbs like Odak and remou Era, 1429 01:11:04,013 --> 01:11:06,293 Speaker 20: at six point nine percent a year. Does that surprise 1430 01:11:06,413 --> 01:11:07,093 Speaker 20: he would all gaze. 1431 01:11:07,173 --> 01:11:07,333 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1432 01:11:07,373 --> 01:11:10,093 Speaker 3: I mean it's funny because usually we kind of average 1433 01:11:10,133 --> 01:11:13,173 Speaker 3: it out across regions or cities. But you know, I 1434 01:11:13,653 --> 01:11:17,453 Speaker 3: can imagine that in some of those suburbs like or Tarn, 1435 01:11:17,733 --> 01:11:19,733 Speaker 3: there might be more demand for housing. You know, the 1436 01:11:20,093 --> 01:11:22,653 Speaker 3: population increase in those kinds of spaces will have increased 1437 01:11:22,653 --> 01:11:25,853 Speaker 3: a lot, and whereas in some of those more affluent suburbs. 1438 01:11:26,613 --> 01:11:29,333 Speaker 3: Perhaps is that, you know, the land values have increased 1439 01:11:29,373 --> 01:11:32,093 Speaker 3: a lot, whereas the actual number of people living in 1440 01:11:32,133 --> 01:11:34,333 Speaker 3: the suburb has increased by so much. So maybe there 1441 01:11:34,333 --> 01:11:37,493 Speaker 3: are kind of different forces at play in different suburbs. 1442 01:11:37,933 --> 01:11:39,973 Speaker 20: There's definitely the case. The other thing I'd say is 1443 01:11:40,013 --> 01:11:43,573 Speaker 20: you can't take that idea of buy the best at 1444 01:11:43,653 --> 01:11:47,333 Speaker 20: worst house rather in the best street, because if you 1445 01:11:47,373 --> 01:11:51,373 Speaker 20: take that literally, I found the most expensive street in 1446 01:11:51,453 --> 01:11:54,333 Speaker 20: New Zealand. It's in Herne Bay, which might not surprise you. 1447 01:11:54,453 --> 01:11:57,773 Speaker 20: The cheapest house on that best street quote unquote best 1448 01:11:57,813 --> 01:12:02,373 Speaker 20: street still cost you three point sixty seven million dollars. 1449 01:12:03,013 --> 01:12:06,933 Speaker 20: So buying the worst house on the best street probably 1450 01:12:07,013 --> 01:12:08,973 Speaker 20: is an adoption for most of us. 1451 01:12:09,173 --> 01:12:12,093 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something, isn't it. Oh my gosh, three point 1452 01:12:12,133 --> 01:12:15,173 Speaker 3: sixty seven million. So when might it be a good 1453 01:12:15,173 --> 01:12:18,213 Speaker 3: idea to go with the so called worst house on 1454 01:12:18,253 --> 01:12:18,773 Speaker 3: the best street. 1455 01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:20,933 Speaker 20: Well, I think it can be a good idea if 1456 01:12:20,933 --> 01:12:23,693 Speaker 20: you're going to live in the property, because, especially if 1457 01:12:23,733 --> 01:12:26,293 Speaker 20: you're in one of our main centers, the school zones 1458 01:12:26,453 --> 01:12:30,013 Speaker 20: often are zoned, and typically the schools that are thought 1459 01:12:30,253 --> 01:12:34,053 Speaker 20: to be better often are in those more affluent zones. 1460 01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:36,573 Speaker 20: So let's say you've got a couple of kids our 1461 01:12:36,573 --> 01:12:39,133 Speaker 20: primary school age. Now you're thinking about where they're going 1462 01:12:39,173 --> 01:12:42,013 Speaker 20: to go to high school. It might be an idea 1463 01:12:42,133 --> 01:12:44,453 Speaker 20: to compromise a little bit on the house to get 1464 01:12:44,493 --> 01:12:47,733 Speaker 20: in that quote unquote better area. The other one is 1465 01:12:47,773 --> 01:12:50,253 Speaker 20: if you are going to renovate it to do it up, 1466 01:12:50,333 --> 01:12:53,053 Speaker 20: and you have the money to buy it and do 1467 01:12:53,133 --> 01:12:55,453 Speaker 20: it up. Whereas I think if you're a long term 1468 01:12:55,613 --> 01:12:57,973 Speaker 20: buy and hold investor, like a lot of people I 1469 01:12:58,093 --> 01:13:01,333 Speaker 20: work with, you're probably going to buy a house that's 1470 01:13:01,373 --> 01:13:04,133 Speaker 20: a bit cheaper, not the three point six seven million 1471 01:13:04,213 --> 01:13:08,493 Speaker 20: dollars because typically the the more affordable the house, the 1472 01:13:08,493 --> 01:13:10,973 Speaker 20: better the rental yield is. If we think about those 1473 01:13:11,053 --> 01:13:14,373 Speaker 20: really expensive houses, there aren't that many people who are 1474 01:13:14,373 --> 01:13:16,973 Speaker 20: going to rent a three point seven million dollar house 1475 01:13:17,053 --> 01:13:19,253 Speaker 20: or afford to them.

So if you are someone 1641 01:22:04,653 --> 01:22:07,653 Speaker 3: who not necessarily dreads chriss but you know, it doesn't 1642 01:22:08,013 --> 01:22:10,573 Speaker 3: lean in quite so hard as as some others, I 1643 01:22:10,613 --> 01:22:12,013 Speaker 3: suppose it's totally understandable. 1644 01:22:12,653 --> 01:22:12,933 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1645 01:22:12,973 --> 01:22:13,453 Speaker 7: Absolutely. 1646 01:22:13,533 --> 01:22:15,733 Speaker 15: I mean, if you think about Christmas, there's lots of 1647 01:22:15,773 --> 01:22:18,253 Speaker 15: socializing and going out, and if you know, if you 1648 01:22:18,293 --> 01:22:21,253 Speaker 15: struggle a bit with that, with social relationships, you're a 1649 01:22:21,293 --> 01:22:23,693 Speaker 15: bit more introverted, you you might find out a little 1650 01:22:23,733 --> 01:22:28,933 Speaker 15: bit more difficult to tolerate. You know, as I'm sure 1651 01:22:28,573 --> 01:22:31,893 Speaker 15: you have good firsthand experience, and often there's that pressure 1652 01:22:31,933 --> 01:22:35,973 Speaker 15: for pearance to be buying big presents and the latest thing, 1653 01:22:36,053 --> 01:22:38,373 Speaker 15: and you know, for many families they've done it hard 1654 01:22:38,453 --> 01:22:41,773 Speaker 15: this year with redundancies and the cost of living, and 1655 01:22:41,813 --> 01:22:45,733 Speaker 15: that can be a real struggle. And also, of course, 1656 01:22:45,773 --> 01:22:48,253 Speaker 15: you know, even you know, further down there's those people 1657 01:22:48,253 --> 01:22:50,893 Speaker 15: that will be really struggling to put food on the 1658 01:22:50,933 --> 01:22:55,093 Speaker 15: table at all, and you know, getting getting perhaps worse 1659 01:22:55,133 --> 01:22:58,573 Speaker 15: in our current sort of economic environment. So you know, 1660 01:22:58,653 --> 01:23:00,893 Speaker 15: I think, I think, you know, i'd encourage people to 1661 01:23:01,613 --> 01:23:06,093 Speaker 15: fully enjoy themselves this Christmas and will be with theirs 1662 01:23:06,133 --> 01:23:09,293 Speaker 15: and their loved loved ones, but also to kind of 1663 01:23:09,333 --> 01:23:11,653 Speaker 15: think about is there anything I can do to actually 1664 01:23:11,693 --> 01:23:15,693 Speaker 15: reach out and make somebody else's Christmas that extra little 1665 01:23:15,733 --> 01:23:16,693 Speaker 15: bit special as well. 1666 01:23:16,813 --> 01:23:19,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really good message. So back to phobias. 1667 01:23:19,573 --> 01:23:22,853 Speaker 3: Can you have a phobia of pretty much anything? 1668 01:23:23,613 --> 01:23:28,773 Speaker 15: Well, yeah, technically you probably can. There are some really 1669 01:23:28,893 --> 01:23:33,093 Speaker 15: common ones that people are actually if I just as 1670 01:23:33,133 --> 01:23:35,293 Speaker 15: an aside, I've seen some quite bizarre ones. I've seen 1671 01:23:35,693 --> 01:23:38,853 Speaker 15: A friend of mine was super super phobic of not 1672 01:23:38,853 --> 01:23:42,013 Speaker 15: not not just birds, but specifically pigeons and would really 1673 01:23:42,053 --> 01:23:43,853 Speaker 15: freak out if they sort of you know how they 1674 01:23:44,053 --> 01:23:47,133 Speaker 15: sort of tend to fly up quite close to your face. 1675 01:23:47,333 --> 01:23:50,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they sit in the bar plane sometimes and 1676 01:23:50,253 --> 01:23:53,613 Speaker 3: I honestly think yes, yes, yeah, I'm going to they 1677 01:23:53,653 --> 01:23:56,813 Speaker 3: just leave it so late. This is really bold. 1678 01:23:57,893 --> 01:24:02,533 Speaker 15: Yeah yeah, yeah, So that I've met somebody that had 1679 01:24:02,533 --> 01:24:04,733 Speaker 15: a fear of hospitals, and that was to the point 1680 01:24:04,813 --> 01:24:08,813 Speaker 15: that they would often not leave the house because that 1681 01:24:08,973 --> 01:24:11,413 Speaker 15: there kind of chain of thought when something might happen. 1682 01:24:11,413 --> 01:24:13,453 Speaker 15: I might go out for lunch and I'd start choking 1683 01:24:13,493 --> 01:24:15,013 Speaker 15: and they call the ambulance and then I have to 1684 01:24:15,053 --> 01:24:17,133 Speaker 15: go to hospital, and I hate hospitals. 1685 01:24:17,213 --> 01:24:18,373 Speaker 7: So that was that was. 1686 01:24:18,373 --> 01:24:21,213 Speaker 15: A real phobia. And then two people this is and 1687 01:24:21,253 --> 01:24:22,893 Speaker 15: these are colleagues of one that I used to work with, 1688 01:24:22,893 --> 01:24:25,853 Speaker 15: two separate people that had banana phobias, which was which 1689 01:24:25,973 --> 01:24:29,333 Speaker 15: was quite unusual. And when we're talking phobias, I think, 1690 01:24:29,373 --> 01:24:31,493 Speaker 15: good to you know, everybody kind of talks about all, 1691 01:24:31,533 --> 01:24:34,173 Speaker 15: I've got a phobia of heights or whatever, and we 1692 01:24:34,213 --> 01:24:37,173 Speaker 15: mean clinically when we're talking about phobias, like a really 1693 01:24:37,333 --> 01:24:40,653 Speaker 15: really really intense fear, not just a I don't really 1694 01:24:40,773 --> 01:24:44,453 Speaker 15: like them. Yeah, and that you that you do lots 1695 01:24:44,493 --> 01:24:47,053 Speaker 15: and lots to try and avoid those. And perhaps that 1696 01:24:47,133 --> 01:24:50,773 Speaker 15: person that I described earlier with the hospital phobia, you 1697 01:24:50,813 --> 01:24:52,813 Speaker 15: know that that was an example of going great legs 1698 01:24:52,813 --> 01:24:53,253 Speaker 15: to a rider. 1699 01:24:53,373 --> 01:24:56,333 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's really impacting their life, and it's. 1700 01:24:56,253 --> 01:24:58,813 Speaker 15: Really impacting their life. But you look at it's we 1701 01:24:58,853 --> 01:25:02,093 Speaker 15: think theoretically you can have a phobia almost anything. There 1702 01:25:02,133 --> 01:25:07,053 Speaker 15: was a famous ethically dubious, somewhat psychology experiment in the 1703 01:25:07,173 --> 01:25:11,733 Speaker 15: nineteen twenties where a famous psychologist did an experiment on 1704 01:25:11,733 --> 01:25:14,453 Speaker 15: his own nine month old child. So don't recommend you're 1705 01:25:14,453 --> 01:25:18,853 Speaker 15: doing this on your son. And they paired a white rat, 1706 01:25:20,093 --> 01:25:22,413 Speaker 15: not a tame one, with a really loud sound, a 1707 01:25:22,453 --> 01:25:27,133 Speaker 15: really loud bang, and the baby went from being completely 1708 01:25:27,173 --> 01:25:29,773 Speaker 15: fine around the rat being quite scared of it, and 1709 01:25:29,813 --> 01:25:32,493 Speaker 15: then that fear started to generalize to anything that was 1710 01:25:32,533 --> 01:25:37,093 Speaker 15: white and fluffy, including teddy bears. So they were trying 1711 01:25:37,093 --> 01:25:39,333 Speaker 15: to sort of establish that maybe you can be afraid 1712 01:25:39,373 --> 01:25:42,013 Speaker 15: of anything, or establish a fear of anything, and that 1713 01:25:42,053 --> 01:25:44,853 Speaker 15: can grow to sort of very things that are similar 1714 01:25:44,853 --> 01:25:47,493 Speaker 15: to it. So yeah, technically you probably can have a 1715 01:25:47,493 --> 01:25:50,093 Speaker 15: phobia or anything, maybe including Christmas. 1716 01:25:49,693 --> 01:25:52,653 Speaker 3: On the Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I think I've seen 1717 01:25:52,653 --> 01:25:55,293 Speaker 3: a video on social media and tell you about the 1718 01:25:55,373 --> 01:25:58,133 Speaker 3: kind of accounts that I've followed, what my algorithm's doing 1719 01:25:58,173 --> 01:26:02,733 Speaker 3: to me that shows a group of babies with a python, 1720 01:26:03,933 --> 01:26:07,733 Speaker 3: a python kind of slithering around them. Obviously controlled environment, 1721 01:26:07,773 --> 01:26:10,893 Speaker 3: but the video is going that, well, yeah, but they're 1722 01:26:10,893 --> 01:26:13,333 Speaker 3: not they're not scared. I think it's a python. Python's 1723 01:26:13,333 --> 01:26:17,613 Speaker 3: an't venous, are they? Well, this one you don't know anyway. 1724 01:26:17,653 --> 01:26:21,013 Speaker 3: So they've got a large snake. Yeah, and it's not 1725 01:26:21,013 --> 01:26:23,893 Speaker 3: a venomous snake. But the point is that the kids 1726 01:26:23,893 --> 01:26:27,653 Speaker 3: aren't skied of it because they just kind of just 1727 01:26:27,733 --> 01:26:30,093 Speaker 3: sitting there and the snake's kind of slithering around them 1728 01:26:30,093 --> 01:26:30,653 Speaker 3: and they're all just thing. 1729 01:26:30,653 --> 01:26:35,053 Speaker 15: Oh but yeah, yeah, I certainly come across people, you know, 1730 01:26:35,213 --> 01:26:37,813 Speaker 15: post those sort of big storms in the North Island. 1731 01:26:37,813 --> 01:26:39,653 Speaker 15: You know, they're really big ones a couple of years 1732 01:26:39,653 --> 01:26:43,013 Speaker 15: ago who had a real fear and probably verging on 1733 01:26:43,053 --> 01:26:46,013 Speaker 15: a phobia of of you know, rain and big weather 1734 01:26:46,053 --> 01:26:52,853 Speaker 15: storms every Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, it makes perfect sense, 1735 01:26:52,853 --> 01:26:54,613 Speaker 15: and it's just our body's way of sort of trying 1736 01:26:54,613 --> 01:26:55,973 Speaker 15: to keep us safe. 1737 01:26:56,013 --> 01:26:57,853 Speaker 7: But it sort of has has like a fire. 1738 01:26:57,653 --> 01:27:00,773 Speaker 15: Alarm that kind of gives off too many false alarms 1739 01:27:00,813 --> 01:27:02,653 Speaker 15: and sort of that's going off all the time. But 1740 01:27:03,133 --> 01:27:06,533 Speaker 15: rest assured. They are pretty readily curable by psychologist. So 1741 01:27:06,813 --> 01:27:08,293 Speaker 15: if you've got a phobia. You don't really have to 1742 01:27:08,293 --> 01:27:10,613 Speaker 15: suffer from it nowadays that they are pretty treatable. 1743 01:27:10,653 --> 01:27:15,413 Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Oh yeah, yeah, your life doesn't if 1744 01:27:15,413 --> 01:27:18,613 Speaker 3: you do. I definitely don't. I don't have any big phobias. 1745 01:27:18,613 --> 01:27:21,613 Speaker 3: There's nothing that makes my life materially worse. But I do. 1746 01:27:21,693 --> 01:27:25,173 Speaker 3: If there was one thing that I don't like that 1747 01:27:25,253 --> 01:27:26,693 Speaker 3: I would have, you know that I would say, oh, 1748 01:27:26,853 --> 01:27:29,413 Speaker 3: I've got a phobia. Yeah, this is going to get 1749 01:27:29,573 --> 01:27:35,213 Speaker 3: a bit left field. Balloons. Oh yeah, the reason being 1750 01:27:35,213 --> 01:27:37,853 Speaker 3: I don't trust them, and I'm waiting for them, and 1751 01:27:37,973 --> 01:27:40,493 Speaker 3: especially like especially if there are loose balloons like on 1752 01:27:40,573 --> 01:27:43,333 Speaker 3: the floor or something, I'm just waiting for someone to 1753 01:27:43,373 --> 01:27:45,893 Speaker 3: stand on or to pop it. And it gives me 1754 01:27:45,973 --> 01:27:47,973 Speaker 3: like a sense of anxiety. I'm just waiting for a 1755 01:27:48,013 --> 01:27:51,173 Speaker 3: loud noise. I know that seems ridiculous. I just don't. Well, 1756 01:27:51,533 --> 01:27:53,253 Speaker 3: I just I just don't. I don't like and you 1757 01:27:53,293 --> 01:27:55,413 Speaker 3: know sometimes I just burst when you're not expecting it, 1758 01:27:55,493 --> 01:27:58,093 Speaker 3: and just anyway, for whatever reason it is, I don't. 1759 01:27:58,133 --> 01:27:59,173 Speaker 3: I don't love balloons. 1760 01:27:59,693 --> 01:28:02,453 Speaker 15: It's almost a classic description because many people for their 1761 01:28:02,493 --> 01:28:04,773 Speaker 15: phobias say, hey, look, I know it's a bit stupid. 1762 01:28:04,773 --> 01:28:07,693 Speaker 15: I know, it seems unrealistic and at the moment, you know, 1763 01:28:07,773 --> 01:28:10,053 Speaker 15: in the moment, I actually feel quite you know, quite 1764 01:28:10,053 --> 01:28:10,933 Speaker 15: weirded out by it. 1765 01:28:11,173 --> 01:28:11,413 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1766 01:28:11,853 --> 01:28:14,813 Speaker 15: So yeah, well, good luck for the future birthday party. 1767 01:28:14,893 --> 01:28:19,533 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly exactly.

Hey, we're tripping 1801 01:29:51,893 --> 01:29:55,173 Speaker 3: the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland this morning, So how 1802 01:29:55,213 --> 01:29:57,653 Speaker 3: long is the recommended touring route? 1803 01:29:59,133 --> 01:29:59,333 Speaker 8: Yeah? 1804 01:29:59,333 --> 01:30:02,973 Speaker 22: Well, I reckon in the pantheon of golden travel experiences, Jack, 1805 01:30:03,053 --> 01:30:05,293 Speaker 22: you can't beat a really good road trip. 1806 01:30:05,373 --> 01:30:07,093 Speaker 2: And the thing about the court Way Coast. 1807 01:30:07,173 --> 01:30:10,253 Speaker 22: Is that distance wise, it's only one hundred and eighty 1808 01:30:10,333 --> 01:30:14,973 Speaker 22: k on the clock from Dairy to Belfast. But even 1809 01:30:14,973 --> 01:30:17,333 Speaker 22: though that sounds like a very short and sweet road trip, 1810 01:30:18,013 --> 01:30:22,733 Speaker 22: it's actually very misleading because that route is choc a 1811 01:30:22,813 --> 01:30:29,453 Speaker 22: block with roadside confections. You've got ancient castles, wizardly rock formations, 1812 01:30:29,973 --> 01:30:35,533 Speaker 22: Hollywood filming locations, amazing seaside villages, and epic landscape. So 1813 01:30:36,093 --> 01:30:39,813 Speaker 22: you'll definitely want to chunk that one hundred and eighty 1814 01:30:39,893 --> 01:30:42,453 Speaker 22: k up into several nights. 1815 01:30:42,493 --> 01:30:42,893 Speaker 2: At least. 1816 01:30:42,893 --> 01:30:45,773 Speaker 22: A lot of people actually spend a good two weeks 1817 01:30:45,813 --> 01:30:47,333 Speaker 22: on that Causeway Coast route. 1818 01:30:47,333 --> 01:30:48,933 Speaker 2: It is just so goddamn good. 1819 01:30:49,053 --> 01:30:52,213 Speaker 3: No, that's amazing. So what is the most dramatic castle 1820 01:30:52,293 --> 01:30:52,973 Speaker 3: to check out? 1821 01:30:54,173 --> 01:30:55,573 Speaker 22: Yeah, well, if you look at a map of the 1822 01:30:55,573 --> 01:30:58,773 Speaker 22: Causeway Coast, castles are thick on the ground. But I 1823 01:30:58,933 --> 01:31:03,853 Speaker 22: do like a castle jack served, crumbly, even decrepit, with 1824 01:31:03,933 --> 01:31:09,253 Speaker 22: all of those faded, glory scarred feels and dunloose. 1825 01:31:09,293 --> 01:31:10,733 Speaker 2: Castle stole my heart. 1826 01:31:11,173 --> 01:31:15,253 Speaker 22: This one clings to the cliffs high above a turning ocean, 1827 01:31:15,853 --> 01:31:19,973 Speaker 22: wind walloped, and it's on a basalt outcrop. And this 1828 01:31:20,093 --> 01:31:25,133 Speaker 22: medieval stronghold was actually owned by the McDonnell clan. It 1829 01:31:25,253 --> 01:31:27,653 Speaker 22: fell into disrepair three hundred years ago. There are so 1830 01:31:27,733 --> 01:31:29,893 Speaker 22: many cool stories about this castle. The one I love 1831 01:31:29,973 --> 01:31:33,493 Speaker 22: the most is the fact that shortly before it fell 1832 01:31:33,533 --> 01:31:37,693 Speaker 22: into decline, part of the castle's kitchen fell into the ocean, 1833 01:31:39,213 --> 01:31:43,893 Speaker 22: and only the kitchen boy survived, and he did so 1834 01:31:44,053 --> 01:31:47,333 Speaker 22: because he was obviously quite intuitive. He tucked himself away 1835 01:31:47,373 --> 01:31:51,573 Speaker 22: in the strongest corner of the room. But yeah, the 1836 01:31:51,653 --> 01:31:55,053 Speaker 22: kitchen fell into the Atlantic. The facade of this castle 1837 01:31:55,213 --> 01:31:58,173 Speaker 22: on the cliff remains today, Jack, and it really is 1838 01:31:58,213 --> 01:32:00,733 Speaker 22: a stunning site and as you could imagine, it's an 1839 01:32:00,733 --> 01:32:01,293 Speaker 22: insta hero. 1840 01:32:01,573 --> 01:32:04,173 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, of course, speaking of this is a Game 1841 01:32:04,333 --> 01:32:06,053 Speaker 3: Thrones turf, isn't it. 1842 01:32:06,693 --> 01:32:09,373 Speaker 22: Oh yeah, if you are a set jester, you could 1843 01:32:09,453 --> 01:32:14,413 Speaker 22: actually design your entire touring route on the Causeway coast 1844 01:32:14,573 --> 01:32:17,853 Speaker 22: into a got roadie because there were just so many 1845 01:32:17,893 --> 01:32:22,093 Speaker 22: shooting locations they used, so Dunloose featured regularly on Thrones, 1846 01:32:22,933 --> 01:32:25,933 Speaker 22: as did Balentoy Harbor. The Money shot I reckon is 1847 01:32:25,973 --> 01:32:29,053 Speaker 22: the Dark Edges, so they are just in land from 1848 01:32:29,093 --> 01:32:32,613 Speaker 22: the coast in Balley Money, and that's that very iconic 1849 01:32:32,653 --> 01:32:37,933 Speaker 22: avenue of eighty gnarly intertwined beach trees. So these trees 1850 01:32:37,973 --> 01:32:40,493 Speaker 22: were planted in the eighteenth century. They were cast as 1851 01:32:40,573 --> 01:32:45,213 Speaker 22: King's Road in Thrones, and it's become a chronic victim 1852 01:32:45,213 --> 01:32:48,533 Speaker 22: of over tourism. So the best thing to do to 1853 01:32:48,653 --> 01:32:51,813 Speaker 22: dodge the hordes is go there at daybreak. Do not 1854 01:32:51,893 --> 01:32:53,773 Speaker 22: go there after nine o'clock in the morning. It's just 1855 01:32:53,893 --> 01:32:58,173 Speaker 22: crowded and the traffic is just horrendous in terms of parking. 1856 01:32:58,733 --> 01:33:02,173 Speaker 22: I did not see anyone else there at seven in 1857 01:33:02,213 --> 01:33:05,413 Speaker 22: the morning, not even the gray Lady Jack, who was 1858 01:33:05,453 --> 01:33:09,973 Speaker 22: the legendary goot who drifts silently between the trees. So 1859 01:33:10,013 --> 01:33:11,373 Speaker 22: I was pleased not to see here. 1860 01:33:11,653 --> 01:33:13,453 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, for the sake of a couple of hours, 1861 01:33:13,493 --> 01:33:15,453 Speaker 3: just getting outside earlier. And it sounds like it's one 1862 01:33:15,493 --> 01:33:17,653 Speaker 3: with Yeah, what would be the best time to go 1863 01:33:17,693 --> 01:33:18,773 Speaker 3: to the Giants Causeway? 1864 01:33:19,813 --> 01:33:24,133 Speaker 22: Yeah, well, obviously it's another big drawer and the namesake 1865 01:33:24,173 --> 01:33:27,733 Speaker 22: of the coast really the Giants Causeway. It's a volcanic marble. 1866 01:33:28,573 --> 01:33:30,933 Speaker 22: You want, you will want a time it for low tide, 1867 01:33:30,933 --> 01:33:35,693 Speaker 22: So check the tide times because it just reveals so 1868 01:33:35,813 --> 01:33:38,413 Speaker 22: much more of its glory at low tide. You've got 1869 01:33:38,413 --> 01:33:45,533 Speaker 22: these forty thousand basalt hexagonal blocks and columns reaching out 1870 01:33:45,533 --> 01:33:49,293 Speaker 22: into the ocean, and those columns are like these primal 1871 01:33:49,573 --> 01:33:53,573 Speaker 22: pistons thrusting out of the earth deeper and deeper into 1872 01:33:53,613 --> 01:33:56,853 Speaker 22: the sea. And you can actually take your chances add 1873 01:33:56,933 --> 01:33:59,653 Speaker 22: low tide and clamber your way across all of these 1874 01:33:59,693 --> 01:34:03,373 Speaker 22: interlocking formations as the waves thunder and but it really 1875 01:34:03,453 --> 01:34:04,853 Speaker 22: is an ethereal spectacle. 1876 01:34:05,293 --> 01:34:07,653 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, what time of day. 1877 01:34:07,453 --> 01:34:10,373 Speaker 22: It is that low tide strikes, there will be big crowds, 1878 01:34:10,373 --> 01:34:12,693 Speaker 22: so you've just got to suck it in and expect that. 1879 01:34:13,173 --> 01:34:17,133 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, just down the road is that village of 1880 01:34:17,133 --> 01:34:18,733 Speaker 3: bush Mills, right, what's special about it? 1881 01:34:19,213 --> 01:34:22,333 Speaker 22: Yeah, it's such a good overnight base to break up 1882 01:34:22,333 --> 01:34:25,253 Speaker 22: the trip. But the thing about bosh Mills is the distillery, 1883 01:34:25,413 --> 01:34:31,053 Speaker 22: Old bosh Mills Distillery. This is the world's oldest licensed distillery, 1884 01:34:31,133 --> 01:34:35,533 Speaker 22: so they've been turning out whiskey here since sixteen eight. 1885 01:34:36,773 --> 01:34:40,933 Speaker 22: Jemison's would be the biggest selling Irish whiskey. But like Jemmy's, 1886 01:34:41,093 --> 01:34:45,253 Speaker 22: bush Mills is single mold and triple distilled for smoothness. 1887 01:34:45,573 --> 01:34:49,333 Speaker 22: If you like your whiskey with that sort of multi 1888 01:34:49,613 --> 01:34:54,013 Speaker 22: richness and a hint of honey and spice Man Bosh Mills. 1889 01:34:54,093 --> 01:34:54,773 Speaker 2: It's the spot. 1890 01:34:55,253 --> 01:34:58,573 Speaker 22: The distillery tours, Jack, obviously because of the history. They're 1891 01:34:58,773 --> 01:35:02,013 Speaker 22: really good, So definitely do a distillery tour along with 1892 01:35:02,053 --> 01:35:02,733 Speaker 22: a few DRAMs. 1893 01:35:03,213 --> 01:35:05,573 Speaker 3: Okay, what was your biggest coastal thrill. 1894 01:35:07,493 --> 01:35:11,813 Speaker 22: Well, for a literal cliffhanger, you've got to take a 1895 01:35:11,853 --> 01:35:15,653 Speaker 22: walk across the Carrica Red rope Bridge. So this connects 1896 01:35:15,733 --> 01:35:19,813 Speaker 22: the mainland with the rocky outcrop of Carrick Island. And 1897 01:35:19,893 --> 01:35:23,213 Speaker 22: this rope bridge, Jack, was first established nearly three hundred 1898 01:35:23,253 --> 01:35:26,173 Speaker 22: years ago by salmon fishermen. So they'd go out to 1899 01:35:26,213 --> 01:35:29,533 Speaker 22: the island, box up their catch and carry it back 1900 01:35:29,533 --> 01:35:33,173 Speaker 22: to the mainland on this rope bridge and it sways 1901 01:35:33,613 --> 01:35:37,933 Speaker 22: across this wind blasted chasm high above the ocean. 1902 01:35:38,093 --> 01:35:40,973 Speaker 2: You're like you just look down directly beneath you. The 1903 01:35:41,013 --> 01:35:42,813 Speaker 2: ocean is roiling. 1904 01:35:43,973 --> 01:35:47,453 Speaker 22: No one has ever lost their lives. 1905 01:35:47,013 --> 01:35:49,573 Speaker 2: Falling off this bridge, which is quite an impressive feet 1906 01:35:50,733 --> 01:35:52,173 Speaker 2: but it is such a. 1907 01:35:52,213 --> 01:35:55,093 Speaker 22: Thrill to walk in their footsteps today. I was pleased 1908 01:35:55,093 --> 01:35:58,813 Speaker 22: to learn Jack that the ropes have been strengthened and 1909 01:35:59,453 --> 01:36:01,813 Speaker 22: they can withstand the weight of a double decker bus, 1910 01:36:01,813 --> 01:36:05,973 Speaker 22: which was very reassuring after I digested my full Irish breakfast. 1911 01:36:06,053 --> 01:36:11,293 Speaker 3: Yeah, I will hope that we're able to maintain that 1912 01:36:11,373 --> 01:36:13,213 Speaker 3: record as well, because it's funny when you think of 1913 01:36:13,213 --> 01:36:15,653 Speaker 3: swing bridge as usually like in New Zealand, you think 1914 01:36:15,653 --> 01:36:18,053 Speaker 3: of them as being over rivers as opposed to being 1915 01:36:18,093 --> 01:36:20,173 Speaker 3: over the ocean. I suppose there aren't many opportunities for 1916 01:36:20,173 --> 01:36:22,773 Speaker 3: it to be over the ocean. So nice and heading. 1917 01:36:22,533 --> 01:36:28,613 Speaker 22: Inland, yes, I just say generally our ones have steel, yes. 1918 01:36:28,373 --> 01:36:31,933 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, as opposed to just rope, yeah, just rope. 1919 01:36:32,893 --> 01:36:34,933 Speaker 3: And so if you head inland from the coast, the 1920 01:36:34,973 --> 01:36:39,013 Speaker 3: Glens of Antrim series of valleys, right, are they impressive? 1921 01:36:39,973 --> 01:36:40,173 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1922 01:36:40,213 --> 01:36:44,373 Speaker 22: They really are definitely worth time to explore. So turning 1923 01:36:44,453 --> 01:36:48,813 Speaker 22: south towards Belfast, just head off the coast into these glens. 1924 01:36:48,853 --> 01:36:53,613 Speaker 22: These are nine magnificent valleys, really deep valleys that jutton 1925 01:36:53,693 --> 01:36:56,293 Speaker 22: from the coast. So you've got rolling hills and lush 1926 01:36:56,333 --> 01:37:01,733 Speaker 22: forests and lots of waterfalls folklore galore. But the hiking 1927 01:37:01,773 --> 01:37:04,413 Speaker 22: trails check. They are just so good. Blow out the 1928 01:37:04,413 --> 01:37:07,453 Speaker 22: cobwebs and bue collops, blender, Oh. 1929 01:37:07,253 --> 01:37:09,653 Speaker 3: Fantastic, Thank you so much, Mike, we'll make sure all 1930 01:37:09,653 --> 01:37:12,693 Speaker 3: of Mike's tips for tripping the Causeway Coast are up 1931 01:37:12,733 --> 01:37:15,773 Speaker 3: on the News talks 'DB website.

It's not like a 1967 01:39:04,893 --> 01:39:11,333 Speaker 3: normal business, right You're constantly trying to manage these conflicting challenges. 1968 01:39:11,373 --> 01:39:13,853 Speaker 3: To take rugby, for example, you're trying to you're trying 1969 01:39:13,893 --> 01:39:15,813 Speaker 3: to maximize revenue, You're trying to make the most of 1970 01:39:15,853 --> 01:39:18,053 Speaker 3: the All Backs brand. You're trying to support the elite 1971 01:39:18,093 --> 01:39:19,653 Speaker 3: level of the support. You're trying to keep those top 1972 01:39:19,693 --> 01:39:21,933 Speaker 3: level players in the country while at the same time 1973 01:39:21,973 --> 01:39:25,293 Speaker 3: supporting the grassroots and often those can be pretty tricky 1974 01:39:25,333 --> 01:39:26,053 Speaker 3: things to balance. 1975 01:39:26,493 --> 01:39:29,573 Speaker 19: Absolutely very small pool of people we're talking about there, 1976 01:39:29,573 --> 01:39:32,093 Speaker 19: I mean Mark Robinson. He was part of a very 1977 01:39:32,133 --> 01:39:35,733 Speaker 19: small group. A former All Black with commercial acumen, Naco 1978 01:39:35,813 --> 01:39:38,133 Speaker 19: popin or a rugby club lee on the bar, talk 1979 01:39:38,173 --> 01:39:41,013 Speaker 19: with the locals, understand what rugby means to us, but 1980 01:39:41,133 --> 01:39:44,533 Speaker 19: also be comfortable sitting across the table from big corporates 1981 01:39:44,573 --> 01:39:47,333 Speaker 19: to convince them to align themselves with the All Blacks 1982 01:39:47,333 --> 01:39:49,533 Speaker 19: and New Zealand Rugby, not to mention what goes on 1983 01:39:49,573 --> 01:39:52,493 Speaker 19: at World Rugby. So yeah, it's a very small group 1984 01:39:52,533 --> 01:39:55,173 Speaker 19: of people who have all of the skills to do 1985 01:39:55,293 --> 01:39:58,413 Speaker 19: these things. And the very fact Jack that we haven't 1986 01:39:58,413 --> 01:40:01,573 Speaker 19: been able to replace Mark Robinson, I mean he resigned 1987 01:40:01,573 --> 01:40:05,493 Speaker 19: six months ago and there's still no permanent CEO in place. 1988 01:40:05,533 --> 01:40:07,973 Speaker 19: That's of course, very different from what's happened in the 1989 01:40:08,053 --> 01:40:11,253 Speaker 19: last couple of days with Jenny Wiley and Scott Weening 1990 01:40:11,453 --> 01:40:15,213 Speaker 19: stepping down after Look, I don't think Netbel will look 1991 01:40:15,253 --> 01:40:18,373 Speaker 19: back on twenty twenty five with any degree of great 1992 01:40:18,413 --> 01:40:21,053 Speaker 19: positivity at all. And we've known for a while that 1993 01:40:21,093 --> 01:40:23,733 Speaker 19: Scott Weining has been at loggerheads with the major associations 1994 01:40:23,773 --> 01:40:25,453 Speaker 19: the Plats Association and. 1995 01:40:25,413 --> 01:40:26,373 Speaker 3: Parts of his own board. 1996 01:40:26,493 --> 01:40:30,253 Speaker 19: So look, to me, if you are leading a sport, 1997 01:40:30,373 --> 01:40:33,573 Speaker 19: there is no more fitting way to do it than 1998 01:40:33,773 --> 01:40:38,613 Speaker 19: servant leadership. You really are serving those who are involved 1999 01:40:38,653 --> 01:40:42,333 Speaker 19: in that sport, and I just think sometimes sports administrators 2000 01:40:42,413 --> 01:40:44,373 Speaker 19: lose sight of the reason that they're there. They are 2001 01:40:44,373 --> 01:40:47,813 Speaker 19: there to serve the sport and its participants, and too 2002 01:40:47,853 --> 01:40:52,493 Speaker 19: often politics, personality clashes, bickering, just getting the way of that, 2003 01:40:52,573 --> 01:40:54,693 Speaker 19: you know. So yeah, I'm looking forward to chatting to 2004 01:40:54,773 --> 01:40:58,733 Speaker 19: Railing Castle about how prevalent that is, how problematic it is, 2005 01:40:58,773 --> 01:41:02,653 Speaker 19: but also how small is the pool of candidates for 2006 01:41:02,733 --> 01:41:05,893 Speaker 19: As you say, Jack, the three biggest jobs in sport 2007 01:41:05,933 --> 01:41:08,053 Speaker 19: in this cuntry three probably as that. I mean, they 2008 01:41:08,053 --> 01:41:10,293 Speaker 19: are three biggest sports, aren't they? Rugby, cricket and netball? 2009 01:41:10,373 --> 01:41:12,213 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, I think so. Yeah, I mean 2010 01:41:12,413 --> 01:41:14,373 Speaker 3: you could probably put football up there now as well, 2011 01:41:14,453 --> 01:41:17,453 Speaker 3: but yeah, I think absolutely. Oh, that'd be a really 2012 01:41:17,453 --> 01:41:19,893 Speaker 3: good conversation with Raylan this afternoon. You got Luke Metcalff 2013 01:41:19,933 --> 01:41:21,613 Speaker 3: on the show as well. Yeah, I haven't heard from 2014 01:41:21,653 --> 01:41:24,053 Speaker 3: Luke for a while. He of course did his ACL 2015 01:41:24,213 --> 01:41:26,573 Speaker 3: after fifteen rounds last season. Chee was playing well, wasn't 2016 01:41:26,613 --> 01:41:29,413 Speaker 3: He was leading the DLIM voting before it went behind 2017 01:41:29,453 --> 01:41:31,613 Speaker 3: closed doors. He was just running the cutter for the 2018 01:41:31,613 --> 01:41:34,293 Speaker 3: Warriors and then that ACL injury. So how was he tracking, 2019 01:41:34,613 --> 01:41:37,173 Speaker 3: How is the recovery going, is he hitting all the milestones? 2020 01:41:37,213 --> 01:41:39,533 Speaker 3: And when might we see him back out there for 2021 01:41:39,613 --> 01:41:41,493 Speaker 3: the Warriors in twenty twenty six?

Or did a robot make this? 2181 01:50:00,853 --> 01:50:04,173 Speaker 18: We're all sort of working our way through the slot. 2182 01:50:04,173 --> 01:50:06,693 Speaker 18: And my reaction to that has been to chase down 2183 01:50:06,773 --> 01:50:11,173 Speaker 18: music that's felt more human than ever, more emotional. I 2184 01:50:11,213 --> 01:50:15,733 Speaker 18: want rawness, I want realness, I want imperfections. Lord's Virgin 2185 01:50:16,053 --> 01:50:20,613 Speaker 18: album from July just had that in spades. It's such 2186 01:50:20,653 --> 01:50:24,133 Speaker 18: an honest album. It moves all over the place, and 2187 01:50:24,253 --> 01:50:26,493 Speaker 18: it captures her at a moment where she's just trying 2188 01:50:26,493 --> 01:50:31,453 Speaker 18: to find yourself, older, a little wiser, with a little 2189 01:50:31,453 --> 01:50:34,493 Speaker 18: more insights to who she is. And Hammer's the first 2190 01:50:34,733 --> 01:50:37,613 Speaker 18: song on the album. It really sets the tone. Every 2191 01:50:37,613 --> 01:50:40,013 Speaker 18: time I hear that song, I hear different textures and layers. 2192 01:50:40,013 --> 01:50:42,613 Speaker 18: It's never the same. Yeah, and the whole album is 2193 01:50:42,653 --> 01:50:45,733 Speaker 18: kind of like that. I played it this morning and 2194 01:50:46,413 --> 01:50:48,813 Speaker 18: and same thing. I just got this burst of just like, 2195 01:50:48,893 --> 01:50:50,733 Speaker 18: you've got to listen to it. You've got to really 2196 01:50:50,773 --> 01:50:52,893 Speaker 18: sit there and listen to it. It's not background music. 2197 01:50:53,493 --> 01:50:56,053 Speaker 18: Yours have to be careful with it. The vinyl insert 2198 01:50:56,973 --> 01:51:00,533 Speaker 18: it's very rata. It fell out and I hadn't even 2199 01:51:00,533 --> 01:51:02,853 Speaker 18: had a coffee. I was like, oh my god, well, kids, 2200 01:51:04,253 --> 01:51:07,373 Speaker 18: she really does put herself out there, and that's what 2201 01:51:07,413 --> 01:51:08,573 Speaker 18: I was looking for in music. 2202 01:51:08,773 --> 01:51:11,293 Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, oh very good. I like that rationale as well. 2203 01:51:11,453 --> 01:51:14,773 Speaker 3: I was listening to I listen to this this tech 2204 01:51:14,853 --> 01:51:17,573 Speaker 3: podcast and they were describing the ways in which AI 2205 01:51:17,733 --> 01:51:21,933 Speaker 3: is kind of impacting art and you know, and pop 2206 01:51:21,973 --> 01:51:23,773 Speaker 3: culture and stuff, and they were saying, what do you 2207 01:51:23,813 --> 01:51:28,253 Speaker 3: think will be the first award to go to art 2208 01:51:28,333 --> 01:51:29,973 Speaker 3: that's been made by AI? Is it going to be 2209 01:51:29,973 --> 01:51:30,413 Speaker 3: an Oscar? 2210 01:51:30,453 --> 01:51:31,253 Speaker 2: Is it going to be an Emmy? 2211 01:51:31,373 --> 01:51:32,733 Speaker 3: Is it going to be a where? And everyone was like, 2212 01:51:32,773 --> 01:51:35,093 Speaker 3: it's probably going to be a Grammy. Like of all 2213 01:51:35,133 --> 01:51:38,013 Speaker 3: of the of the different genres of that kind of 2214 01:51:38,293 --> 01:51:41,853 Speaker 3: popular art, I suppose it's music that is furthest down 2215 01:51:41,893 --> 01:51:45,493 Speaker 3: the path of using AI tools. So actually seeking out, 2216 01:51:45,693 --> 01:51:50,133 Speaker 3: like you say, really human art is yeah, kind of 2217 01:51:50,133 --> 01:51:52,813 Speaker 3: more precient than ever. So Hammer by Lord is your 2218 01:51:52,813 --> 01:51:55,293 Speaker 3: best song of twenty twenty five? Your best album of 2219 01:51:55,333 --> 01:51:56,813 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five goes to. 2220 01:51:57,333 --> 01:52:00,013 Speaker 18: It's Lily Allen. It has to be right, Like we 2221 01:52:00,333 --> 01:52:03,133 Speaker 18: spoke about this the day after it came out. Yeah, yeah, 2222 01:52:03,333 --> 01:52:06,933 Speaker 18: And it hadn't become apparent yet just how huge this 2223 01:52:07,093 --> 01:52:08,773 Speaker 18: album was going to be. We hadn't heard from Lily 2224 01:52:08,813 --> 01:52:12,493 Speaker 18: Allen in seven years, complete silence. She'd been off having kids, 2225 01:52:12,533 --> 01:52:15,213 Speaker 18: getting married, and she came out with this album that 2226 01:52:15,373 --> 01:52:18,493 Speaker 18: was made in two weeks and it was a TMZ 2227 01:52:18,853 --> 01:52:19,413 Speaker 18: of an album. 2228 01:52:19,493 --> 01:52:19,613 Speaker 11: Right. 2229 01:52:19,653 --> 01:52:21,973 Speaker 18: It felt like you were listening to something you really 2230 01:52:22,013 --> 01:52:24,813 Speaker 18: shouldn't be hearing it dish the dirt on a Hollywood 2231 01:52:24,893 --> 01:52:30,413 Speaker 18: celebrity marriage breakup in just the most salacious ways. And 2232 01:52:30,453 --> 01:52:32,453 Speaker 18: she has said that some of it's made up and 2233 01:52:32,493 --> 01:52:34,493 Speaker 18: some of it's rare, and we don't know what. I'd 2234 01:52:34,493 --> 01:52:37,693 Speaker 18: wager more of this is real than not. The details 2235 01:52:37,693 --> 01:52:41,453 Speaker 18: are just too too juicy for them not to be. 2236 01:52:42,133 --> 01:52:44,533 Speaker 18: But this album's had legs. It's you know, she's just 2237 01:52:44,533 --> 01:52:49,093 Speaker 18: played ECNL. She's she's looking so poised when she plays 2238 01:52:49,133 --> 01:52:50,973 Speaker 18: these songs. She's going on to the next year. Most 2239 01:52:51,013 --> 01:52:52,813 Speaker 18: of the dates are sold out. She's playing the album 2240 01:52:52,853 --> 01:52:55,373 Speaker 18: in full and I think that's a sign that this 2241 01:52:55,573 --> 01:52:58,973 Speaker 18: album celebrated the album format because you had to listen 2242 01:52:58,973 --> 01:53:00,693 Speaker 18: to the whole thing to get the whole story.
