It is a visual feast, 11 00:01:06,693 --> 00:01:09,573 Speaker 2: but did you know the company behind it is Wetter 12 00:01:09,773 --> 00:01:13,253 Speaker 2: Effects and the guy who was in charge of making 13 00:01:13,253 --> 00:01:17,093 Speaker 2: it look so good, the visual effects supervisor for better 14 00:01:17,133 --> 00:01:19,453 Speaker 2: Man is a Kiwi at Wetter Effects called Luke Miller, 15 00:01:19,493 --> 00:01:22,213 Speaker 2: who was nominated for an Oscar for his work. He's 16 00:01:22,213 --> 00:01:23,933 Speaker 2: gonna be with us after ten o'clock this morning to 17 00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:26,533 Speaker 2: tell us about that process. How do you go about 18 00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:30,933 Speaker 2: making a film like better Man? Before that, we're going 19 00:01:31,013 --> 00:01:32,573 Speaker 2: to look at some of the other films showing it 20 00:01:32,573 --> 00:01:36,453 Speaker 2: this year's International Film Festival, including this incredible New Zealand documentary, 21 00:01:36,453 --> 00:01:38,773 Speaker 2: and we've got a delicious recipe for an orange cake 22 00:01:39,213 --> 00:01:41,973 Speaker 2: before ten o'clock. Right now, though it's eight minutes past nine. 23 00:01:42,613 --> 00:01:43,213 Speaker 3: Jack, Team. 24 00:01:43,893 --> 00:01:48,853 Speaker 2: So I played the trombone in high school. I know 25 00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:52,853 Speaker 2: what you're thinking, squeaky voiced Jack, stumbling off the bus, 26 00:01:53,133 --> 00:01:57,253 Speaker 2: then running through a few scales on his big brass slide. Yep, yep, 27 00:01:57,253 --> 00:02:03,573 Speaker 2: you're right, hello, ladies. Honestly, though, I think the fact 28 00:02:03,613 --> 00:02:06,173 Speaker 2: that my instrument was seen as a little bit quirky 29 00:02:06,253 --> 00:02:08,653 Speaker 2: was probably a bit of the attraction for me at 30 00:02:08,653 --> 00:02:12,453 Speaker 2: the time. What the trombone wasn't, at least back then, 31 00:02:13,093 --> 00:02:17,333 Speaker 2: was very cool right to my mind. It was good 32 00:02:17,373 --> 00:02:20,413 Speaker 2: for jazz band, and good for a blast and orchestra, 33 00:02:20,853 --> 00:02:22,733 Speaker 2: good for being able to read music, and both the 34 00:02:22,733 --> 00:02:26,613 Speaker 2: treble and the bass cliff. But I wasn't sort of 35 00:02:26,653 --> 00:02:29,453 Speaker 2: creative enough at the time to find or honestly even 36 00:02:29,493 --> 00:02:34,173 Speaker 2: to search out a different sound with my trombone. Brass 37 00:02:34,293 --> 00:02:37,613 Speaker 2: had its place, and that was that. But the year 38 00:02:37,693 --> 00:02:40,893 Speaker 2: after I left high school, based on a true story, 39 00:02:41,093 --> 00:02:44,773 Speaker 2: hit record stores. I'd never heard of Fat Freddy's Drop, 40 00:02:45,013 --> 00:02:47,333 Speaker 2: but I was played a song by a friend and 41 00:02:47,693 --> 00:02:49,733 Speaker 2: I bought the album the day it was released, And 42 00:02:49,773 --> 00:02:51,773 Speaker 2: I know it was two thousand and five, because I 43 00:02:51,813 --> 00:02:55,853 Speaker 2: can literally remember buying the CD from a Sounds record shop. 44 00:02:55,933 --> 00:03:00,013 Speaker 2: I can remember walking down Madras Street in christ Church 45 00:03:00,093 --> 00:03:02,333 Speaker 2: with it kind of burning a hole in my bag. 46 00:03:02,373 --> 00:03:05,373 Speaker 2: I was so excited to play it. And let me 47 00:03:05,413 --> 00:03:10,213 Speaker 2: tell you, I don't think I've ever thrashed an album 48 00:03:10,293 --> 00:03:13,493 Speaker 2: so much in my life. You know the way it 49 00:03:13,533 --> 00:03:18,733 Speaker 2: starts off like so sparse, those simple plunking piano keys, 50 00:03:18,853 --> 00:03:22,573 Speaker 2: dundun dun da dun da dun dun da dun dun 51 00:03:22,773 --> 00:03:29,293 Speaker 2: dun dun d And then it builds and it builds 52 00:03:29,373 --> 00:03:33,413 Speaker 2: and it builds. The sound was just so exciting. It 53 00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:37,133 Speaker 2: was so different, it was so cool, and man, I 54 00:03:37,173 --> 00:03:40,013 Speaker 2: thought when I saw that a trombonist was part of 55 00:03:40,013 --> 00:03:42,493 Speaker 2: the lineup, if I had known that this kind of 56 00:03:42,573 --> 00:03:47,533 Speaker 2: music existed, this blend of dub and reggae and jazz 57 00:03:47,733 --> 00:03:51,573 Speaker 2: and soul with its brass component. I mean, as much 58 00:03:51,613 --> 00:03:55,413 Speaker 2: as I have enjoyed Glenn Miller arrangements, I might have 59 00:03:55,533 --> 00:03:58,213 Speaker 2: branched out just a bit further with my high school 60 00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:00,813 Speaker 2: music mates in the Old Bone. 61 00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:01,253 Speaker 3: Now. 62 00:04:01,373 --> 00:04:05,893 Speaker 2: I am no, I don't claim to be any sort 63 00:04:05,933 --> 00:04:10,013 Speaker 2: of music aficionado, right, but it occurs to me that 64 00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:15,013 Speaker 2: Fat Freddy's Drop are a prime example of muso's muso's. 65 00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:18,053 Speaker 2: So they are a band which loosely formed from a 66 00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:20,893 Speaker 2: crew who just liked jamming in their spare time. They're 67 00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:24,373 Speaker 2: a band that loves to play live, that still just 68 00:04:24,453 --> 00:04:27,613 Speaker 2: loves to improvise, and at least from the outside they 69 00:04:27,813 --> 00:04:31,493 Speaker 2: they've seemed utterly unconcerned with the trappings of rock and 70 00:04:31,613 --> 00:04:35,813 Speaker 2: roll stardom, you know, with glossy magazine covers, fame and riches. 71 00:04:35,893 --> 00:04:39,653 Speaker 2: Forget your three minute four chord tricks to sell into 72 00:04:39,693 --> 00:04:42,053 Speaker 2: the top forty radio stations. If you've been to a 73 00:04:42,053 --> 00:04:44,293 Speaker 2: Fat Freddy's concert, I've been to a few over the years, 74 00:04:44,773 --> 00:04:47,333 Speaker 2: you will know it can be hard sometimes to know 75 00:04:47,373 --> 00:04:51,453 Speaker 2: when a song begins and ends. I also think there's 76 00:04:51,453 --> 00:04:57,573 Speaker 2: a real kind of distinct New Zealand flavor to their music. Yeah, 77 00:04:57,573 --> 00:05:00,533 Speaker 2: there's something kind of I don't know, there's something like pacific, 78 00:05:01,853 --> 00:05:07,933 Speaker 2: something kind of relaxed, unshaven, unconcerned. The sound of the 79 00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:12,133 Speaker 2: Kiwi Summer road trip. For the years in which I 80 00:05:12,213 --> 00:05:14,173 Speaker 2: lived in the US, I would always crank it up 81 00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:17,093 Speaker 2: any time I had an American in my apartment, as 82 00:05:17,093 --> 00:05:21,293 Speaker 2: if it were a kind of statement of identity. I 83 00:05:21,333 --> 00:05:23,693 Speaker 2: think it probably says a lot about the band's aspirations 84 00:05:23,773 --> 00:05:28,413 Speaker 2: and kind of motivations and priorities, honestly, that they're kind 85 00:05:28,413 --> 00:05:32,693 Speaker 2: of artistic purity, that despite their incredible international success, that 86 00:05:32,813 --> 00:05:36,253 Speaker 2: individual members of Fat Fredy's Drop aren't all household names 87 00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:39,933 Speaker 2: in this country. I was thinking about it. I reckon 88 00:05:39,933 --> 00:05:42,693 Speaker 2: I know next to nothing of their private lives, and 89 00:05:42,773 --> 00:05:45,453 Speaker 2: of all the members, I reckon I would have only 90 00:05:45,533 --> 00:05:48,173 Speaker 2: been able to name two off the top of my 91 00:05:48,253 --> 00:05:51,133 Speaker 2: head if you had asked me earlier this week. You 92 00:05:51,213 --> 00:05:54,013 Speaker 2: got Dallas, friend of the show of course, who is 93 00:05:54,053 --> 00:05:57,093 Speaker 2: a singer for Fat Freddy's Drop. And you got MoU 94 00:05:59,053 --> 00:06:03,013 Speaker 2: Chris Fayoumu founded Fat Freddy's Drop, he produced their music 95 00:06:03,133 --> 00:06:06,293 Speaker 2: and as the DJ, his beats and blends and samples 96 00:06:06,493 --> 00:06:09,293 Speaker 2: the kind of foundation of so much of their art. 97 00:06:10,253 --> 00:06:12,893 Speaker 2: And I just feel that my experience with his work 98 00:06:13,533 --> 00:06:15,813 Speaker 2: is going to be similar to that of so many 99 00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:19,413 Speaker 2: others in New Zealand and around the world, like tens 100 00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:23,013 Speaker 2: of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of fans. I 101 00:06:23,053 --> 00:06:26,573 Speaker 2: feel really saddened by news of his death and just 102 00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:32,893 Speaker 2: so grateful, like so so grateful for the music he 103 00:06:32,973 --> 00:06:38,573 Speaker 2: made that has honestly enriched my life.

Yeah, 148 00:08:36,533 --> 00:08:40,213 Speaker 4: And and I said, would there be any charts that 149 00:08:40,293 --> 00:08:42,613 Speaker 4: I could record it with you guys and they were, 150 00:08:42,853 --> 00:08:44,093 Speaker 4: they were riding into it. 151 00:08:44,213 --> 00:08:44,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course they were. 152 00:08:45,773 --> 00:08:50,453 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because luckily it never got any further. 153 00:08:50,493 --> 00:08:54,093 Speaker 2: But but honestly, that feels like that could be true 154 00:08:55,133 --> 00:08:57,013 Speaker 2: of any band, if you were going to feature and 155 00:08:57,333 --> 00:08:59,493 Speaker 2: a performance from any band, I think that that is 156 00:08:59,533 --> 00:09:02,013 Speaker 2: the band. It feels like you could just slip into 157 00:09:02,013 --> 00:09:04,613 Speaker 2: the lineup, you know, a third from the left, do 158 00:09:04,653 --> 00:09:06,093 Speaker 2: you go, hang on, is that Kevin. 159 00:09:05,853 --> 00:09:10,373 Speaker 4: Mill So you're making me wish i'd follow that. 160 00:09:10,733 --> 00:09:14,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, anyway, Kevin, You've been thinking about weddings this week. 161 00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:18,813 Speaker 4: You know, I've got to congratulate Listener columnist Jane Clifton 162 00:09:19,373 --> 00:09:23,293 Speaker 4: for this week throwing new light onto the much maligned 163 00:09:23,373 --> 00:09:27,813 Speaker 4: Jeff Bezos wedding in Venice. As we know, Bezos had 164 00:09:27,853 --> 00:09:31,413 Speaker 4: been criticized that tens of millions he spent on the 165 00:09:31,413 --> 00:09:36,853 Speaker 4: wedding unacceptable, showing off, we thought, But as Jane points out, 166 00:09:37,253 --> 00:09:40,453 Speaker 4: the amount he spent on his wedding as a proportion 167 00:09:40,573 --> 00:09:44,413 Speaker 4: of his wealth is minor by comparison to the rest 168 00:09:44,453 --> 00:09:48,893 Speaker 4: of us best estimates show that your average British, European 169 00:09:49,053 --> 00:09:54,413 Speaker 4: and American couples spend about half their annual income on 170 00:09:54,493 --> 00:09:57,333 Speaker 4: their wedding. That's an average, you said, it wouldn't be 171 00:09:57,413 --> 00:10:00,693 Speaker 4: far behind, giving what it seems to be a mushrooming 172 00:10:00,813 --> 00:10:05,173 Speaker 4: budget for weddings. Are So, who is the show off 173 00:10:05,493 --> 00:10:10,093 Speaker 4: Bezos who apparently earns eight million dollars an hour spending 174 00:10:10,213 --> 00:10:14,293 Speaker 4: fifty millions on his wedding or the average couple who 175 00:10:14,373 --> 00:10:19,493 Speaker 4: spend half their annual income on a showy wedding. Bezos 176 00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:23,853 Speaker 4: only spent what he earns in a morning. If he 177 00:10:24,013 --> 00:10:27,773 Speaker 4: wanted to spend the same proportion of his earnings on 178 00:10:27,973 --> 00:10:32,093 Speaker 4: his wedding as we apparently do, he'd have spent thirty 179 00:10:32,093 --> 00:10:36,493 Speaker 4: five billion. As well as the Venice Canals, he'd have 180 00:10:36,533 --> 00:10:39,973 Speaker 4: bought the Sistine Chapel for the service, the leaning towered 181 00:10:40,013 --> 00:10:43,413 Speaker 4: pizza for the photos, and the Colosseum for the after party. 182 00:10:44,133 --> 00:10:48,173 Speaker 4: By comparison to the rest of us, Bezos showed restraint. 183 00:10:49,533 --> 00:10:53,253 Speaker 4: And I tell Jane Clifton's story because it tells us 184 00:10:53,293 --> 00:10:56,653 Speaker 4: that to some extent, we're the fools. Don't get sacked 185 00:10:56,653 --> 00:10:59,013 Speaker 4: into a wedding that's out of proportion to your income. 186 00:10:59,493 --> 00:11:02,853 Speaker 4: Don't worry about your friends. They'll be the last to complain. 187 00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:07,133 Speaker 4: They're as hard up as you are. Most of delighted 188 00:11:07,173 --> 00:11:09,453 Speaker 4: they don't have to stump up for a gift, a 189 00:11:09,493 --> 00:11:13,493 Speaker 4: new outfit, babysitters, a day off work for travel, and 190 00:11:13,573 --> 00:11:16,413 Speaker 4: an expensive bed and allows the hotel. 191 00:11:17,733 --> 00:11:21,253 Speaker 2: Yeah, well said given. I. I It's it's funny like 192 00:11:21,413 --> 00:11:25,453 Speaker 2: the you know, the showiness of weddings is, you know, 193 00:11:25,493 --> 00:11:28,413 Speaker 2: it's not important to everyone, but it clearly is important 194 00:11:28,453 --> 00:11:31,053 Speaker 2: to some people. I mean it's a I think it's 195 00:11:31,053 --> 00:11:32,013 Speaker 2: always just a balance. 196 00:11:32,053 --> 00:11:32,173 Speaker 3: Ay. 197 00:11:32,293 --> 00:11:35,053 Speaker 2: I mean we spent a fear summer money on on 198 00:11:35,093 --> 00:11:38,133 Speaker 2: our wedding, but I sort of felt like I was 199 00:11:38,173 --> 00:11:41,773 Speaker 2: paying for the outsourcing of the organization, you know, Like 200 00:11:41,893 --> 00:11:44,053 Speaker 2: I was like, if this means that I'm going to 201 00:11:44,053 --> 00:11:47,013 Speaker 2: spend less time worrying about the absolute kind of quality 202 00:11:47,133 --> 00:11:49,093 Speaker 2: of the you know, food and that kind of thing. 203 00:11:50,213 --> 00:11:51,813 Speaker 2: And you know, we had a lot of sort of 204 00:11:51,813 --> 00:11:53,853 Speaker 2: family and stuff coming from overseas, and I sort of 205 00:11:53,853 --> 00:11:55,493 Speaker 2: thought it'd be nice to give them a good day. 206 00:11:55,813 --> 00:11:58,413 Speaker 2: But you can see how people over extend and just 207 00:11:58,533 --> 00:12:01,853 Speaker 2: and just kind of lose lose sight of relativity for 208 00:12:01,893 --> 00:12:03,653 Speaker 2: what is at the end of the day, six or 209 00:12:03,653 --> 00:12:04,493 Speaker 2: seven hours, you know. 210 00:12:05,293 --> 00:12:06,173 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I. 211 00:12:06,133 --> 00:12:09,173 Speaker 4: Think if you've got the if you've got the money, 212 00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:13,053 Speaker 4: good on you, I say, But please, if you don't 213 00:12:13,053 --> 00:12:16,973 Speaker 4: have the money, don't do anything like overspend that you're 214 00:12:16,973 --> 00:12:19,813 Speaker 4: wedding just to keep up with your friends. Yeah, you 215 00:12:20,013 --> 00:12:23,333 Speaker 4: have money, That's all I would say. And like, we 216 00:12:23,413 --> 00:12:26,093 Speaker 4: got married in the side chapel of the church and 217 00:12:26,213 --> 00:12:30,813 Speaker 4: had the we had the after event at my mother's 218 00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:32,253 Speaker 4: ownership flat. 219 00:12:32,493 --> 00:12:33,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. 220 00:12:34,733 --> 00:12:36,293 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was great. 221 00:12:37,293 --> 00:12:39,733 Speaker 2: I might have mentioned this before my parents. My parents 222 00:12:39,733 --> 00:12:43,373 Speaker 2: got married in my in my grandparents backyard, but they 223 00:12:43,773 --> 00:12:47,613 Speaker 2: the night before my dad's best man had his wedding, 224 00:12:48,093 --> 00:12:51,493 Speaker 2: and so, I mean it seems like very bad planning 225 00:12:52,173 --> 00:12:54,733 Speaker 2: if you ask me. But so basically they flipped a 226 00:12:54,733 --> 00:12:58,933 Speaker 2: coin to decide which wedding would go first, and mom 227 00:12:58,973 --> 00:13:00,613 Speaker 2: and dad had the next day, which meant that I 228 00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:03,373 Speaker 2: think the photos Dad's probably looking a little dustier than 229 00:13:03,493 --> 00:13:07,893 Speaker 2: he might otherwise. I certainly think times have changed. 230 00:13:07,933 --> 00:13:08,093 Speaker 3: Day. 231 00:13:08,173 --> 00:13:12,213 Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing. Yeah, Hey, thanks so much, Kevin, 232 00:13:12,293 --> 00:13:14,293 Speaker 2: have a great weekend and double catching him very soon. 233 00:13:14,413 --> 00:13:16,813 Speaker 2: Kevin Milne kicking us off for a Saturday morning together. 234 00:13:16,853 --> 00:13:19,093 Speaker 2: Hey missus Jack, like you, I played the trumpet at 235 00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:21,613 Speaker 2: school and stop because there wasn't anything cool to play. 236 00:13:21,893 --> 00:13:24,413 Speaker 2: Listening to fact Freddy's has often made me daydream. They've 237 00:13:24,413 --> 00:13:26,973 Speaker 2: said their music their school music teacher got them playing 238 00:13:27,013 --> 00:13:31,533 Speaker 2: contemporary music. They are lyle Bay's finest export. Certainly agree 239 00:13:31,533 --> 00:13:35,093 Speaker 2: about lyle Bays. Yeah, I sort of. I played heaps 240 00:13:35,093 --> 00:13:37,213 Speaker 2: and music at school. I played that, sort of played 241 00:13:37,213 --> 00:13:40,413 Speaker 2: the drums, and I played played lots of guitar as well, 242 00:13:40,533 --> 00:13:43,493 Speaker 2: played heaps of trombone. But I've only really kept up 243 00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:45,893 Speaker 2: with the guitar. Sometimes I wonder if it's just because 244 00:13:45,893 --> 00:13:48,133 Speaker 2: it's easier to pick up, you know, like you can 245 00:13:48,173 --> 00:13:49,653 Speaker 2: just have it sitting there in the lounge and you 246 00:13:49,693 --> 00:13:51,813 Speaker 2: pick it up. I've still got a trombone though, so 247 00:13:51,893 --> 00:13:56,093 Speaker 2: you never know, never too late. Maybe, depending on how 248 00:13:56,133 --> 00:13:57,933 Speaker 2: the next couple of hours go, we could close out 249 00:13:57,933 --> 00:14:00,613 Speaker 2: the show with an original composition. We'll see ninety two 250 00:14:00,693 --> 00:14:02,133 Speaker 2: ninety two. If you want to send us a message, 251 00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:03,213 Speaker 2: It's twenty three past. 252 00:14:03,053 --> 00:14:10,493 Speaker 1: Nine, getting your weekends started. It's Saturday morning with Jack 253 00:14:10,573 --> 00:14:12,733 Speaker 1: Team on Newstalks'd be Jack. 254 00:14:12,773 --> 00:14:14,853 Speaker 2: You would be surprised just how cool brass bands are 255 00:14:14,853 --> 00:14:17,093 Speaker 2: these days, the trombone is the instrument of the gods. 256 00:14:17,133 --> 00:14:19,413 Speaker 2: Do you know what I do? I agree. I don't 257 00:14:19,413 --> 00:14:21,893 Speaker 2: think i'd be surprised about how cool brass bands are. 258 00:14:22,453 --> 00:14:24,013 Speaker 2: I don't think i'd be surprised about that at all. 259 00:14:24,213 --> 00:14:26,013 Speaker 2: I would say that I'd be a little bit rusty, 260 00:14:26,053 --> 00:14:30,133 Speaker 2: to say the least. Although I've got quite a cool trombone. 261 00:14:30,333 --> 00:14:31,653 Speaker 2: I know this is a bit of a sort of 262 00:14:31,653 --> 00:14:33,413 Speaker 2: gone off piece a little bit here. I've got quite 263 00:14:33,413 --> 00:14:35,773 Speaker 2: a cool trombone. It's called a pea bone, and so 264 00:14:35,813 --> 00:14:38,973 Speaker 2: it's actually made of plastic, which is very strange. But 265 00:14:39,053 --> 00:14:42,093 Speaker 2: the thing with trombones is the slide can be quite finicky. 266 00:14:42,533 --> 00:14:45,013 Speaker 2: So I used to always ding my slide in high 267 00:14:45,013 --> 00:14:47,173 Speaker 2: school when I had a brass instrument, and you'd have 268 00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:48,733 Speaker 2: to go and take it to the music shop and 269 00:14:48,733 --> 00:14:50,013 Speaker 2: they'd have to have it for a day or two 270 00:14:50,053 --> 00:14:51,973 Speaker 2: and they'd smooth it all out again, and I'd take 271 00:14:51,973 --> 00:14:54,613 Speaker 2: it back to practice and ding it immediately again. But 272 00:14:54,653 --> 00:14:56,253 Speaker 2: the thing with a pea bone is it's a little 273 00:14:56,293 --> 00:14:59,133 Speaker 2: bit more robust. Sure, the sound isn't quite as good 274 00:14:59,173 --> 00:15:01,333 Speaker 2: as the top of the line brass instrument, but it's 275 00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:04,053 Speaker 2: way cheaper and it's a little bit more robust. So 276 00:15:04,093 --> 00:15:06,613 Speaker 2: there you go. We're all learning this morning. Need to 277 00:15:07,133 --> 00:15:08,973 Speaker 2: if you want to send us a message our sport. 278 00:15:09,013 --> 00:15:11,773 Speaker 2: Andrew Savill is here counting down the hours to the 279 00:15:11,813 --> 00:15:13,813 Speaker 2: third test between the French and the All Blacks this 280 00:15:13,853 --> 00:15:15,013 Speaker 2: evening in the tron. 281 00:15:16,573 --> 00:15:17,693 Speaker 6: He caught it, Jack, Yeah, you don't. 282 00:15:17,733 --> 00:15:19,653 Speaker 7: You don't strike me as being someone who would dig 283 00:15:19,773 --> 00:15:21,133 Speaker 7: their slide in high school. 284 00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,453 Speaker 2: What are you suggesting? What are you suggesting strike me. 285 00:15:26,453 --> 00:15:29,013 Speaker 7: As being a trombone player, because I'd imagine, like most 286 00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:33,213 Speaker 7: trumpet players and trombone players, wind instruments are sort of 287 00:15:34,093 --> 00:15:35,013 Speaker 7: stout figures. 288 00:15:35,413 --> 00:15:37,813 Speaker 2: Oh I was a bit of a stout figure in 289 00:15:37,853 --> 00:15:41,053 Speaker 2: my in my in my developmental years, Yes I was. 290 00:15:41,173 --> 00:15:43,053 Speaker 2: I was a late but tricky. 291 00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:45,213 Speaker 6: To play, aren't they You've got to have lung power, and. 292 00:15:45,413 --> 00:15:47,333 Speaker 2: They are a bit tricky to play. And there's no 293 00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:50,853 Speaker 2: there's no you know, you've got your fixed but you've 294 00:15:50,853 --> 00:15:53,853 Speaker 2: got your kind of your positions for different notes, right, 295 00:15:54,093 --> 00:15:56,333 Speaker 2: the slide goes to different positions for different notes, but 296 00:15:57,213 --> 00:16:00,133 Speaker 2: and that you sort of you have to combine the 297 00:16:00,173 --> 00:16:04,493 Speaker 2: tension of your lips with the different positioning. But there's 298 00:16:04,493 --> 00:16:07,053 Speaker 2: no like you're not pressing a button like you are 299 00:16:07,413 --> 00:16:10,093 Speaker 2: whether or activating a valve like you would be for 300 00:16:10,133 --> 00:16:11,213 Speaker 2: other wind instruments. 301 00:16:11,253 --> 00:16:14,773 Speaker 7: You know, Yeah, I hope you get a lot of 302 00:16:14,773 --> 00:16:17,813 Speaker 7: feedback on this, because there's nothing better than having the 303 00:16:17,853 --> 00:16:20,573 Speaker 7: ability to play music and tr rather than pushing a 304 00:16:20,613 --> 00:16:24,933 Speaker 7: button on a computer or ai AI in some music. 305 00:16:25,013 --> 00:16:28,533 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Well, yeah, I'm not sure 306 00:16:28,573 --> 00:16:32,213 Speaker 2: my wife I don't necessarily agree with that, but yeah, anyway, Yeah, 307 00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:34,413 Speaker 2: so I was saying before, it's sort of a feel 308 00:16:34,573 --> 00:16:37,893 Speaker 2: like a bit of a funny one this evening. You 309 00:16:37,893 --> 00:16:41,533 Speaker 2: know last week last week that everything sort of came together, right, 310 00:16:41,653 --> 00:16:43,813 Speaker 2: I think we have we got the game last week 311 00:16:43,853 --> 00:16:45,173 Speaker 2: that you'd been hoping to see in game one of 312 00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:47,893 Speaker 2: the year. But that's all right, and yeah, a little 313 00:16:47,893 --> 00:16:49,693 Speaker 2: a little bit funny when you can sell the lineups 314 00:16:49,693 --> 00:16:51,653 Speaker 2: for this evening. But I mean, the atmosphere in Hamilton 315 00:16:51,813 --> 00:16:54,533 Speaker 2: is going to be fantastic, no doubt it will be. 316 00:16:54,533 --> 00:16:55,973 Speaker 6: I've been here for a few days. 317 00:16:56,893 --> 00:16:59,653 Speaker 7: It's the sun's out today, which is good news, but 318 00:16:59,693 --> 00:17:05,413 Speaker 7: a wispy cloud, I don't will be too bad tonight. 319 00:17:05,493 --> 00:17:07,773 Speaker 6: I think that maybe a little bit of rainfall cast 320 00:17:07,813 --> 00:17:09,813 Speaker 6: later at tonight, but it'll. 321 00:17:09,613 --> 00:17:12,893 Speaker 7: Be definitely cold, but I imagine the All Blacks will still 322 00:17:12,933 --> 00:17:14,533 Speaker 7: try to play at pace and. 323 00:17:16,613 --> 00:17:20,893 Speaker 6: Move the ball at will. It's an exciting team, the 324 00:17:20,933 --> 00:17:21,333 Speaker 6: All Blacks. 325 00:17:21,413 --> 00:17:23,533 Speaker 7: Jack I think look good on Scott Robertson for sticking 326 00:17:23,533 --> 00:17:26,373 Speaker 7: to his guns and he said before the series that 327 00:17:26,373 --> 00:17:30,013 Speaker 7: they'd play all the players in the squad that all 328 00:17:30,013 --> 00:17:32,933 Speaker 7: see game time. It's exactly what he's done. It helps 329 00:17:32,973 --> 00:17:34,533 Speaker 7: that you've won both tests. I mean if they had 330 00:17:34,613 --> 00:17:37,373 Speaker 7: lost that first Test, I'd imagine tonight you'd see a 331 00:17:37,413 --> 00:17:41,053 Speaker 7: totally different team. But they've got the chance to look 332 00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:46,933 Speaker 7: at players at Test level, to run experienced players again 333 00:17:47,013 --> 00:17:51,373 Speaker 7: to give them a good blowout tonight. Really looking forward 334 00:17:51,453 --> 00:17:55,173 Speaker 7: to seeing Quinn twupaire back starting a Test match. I 335 00:17:55,253 --> 00:17:57,573 Speaker 7: thought he had a fantastic Super Rugby campaign. You know 336 00:17:57,653 --> 00:18:00,213 Speaker 7: his recent pass with Injuri has been well documented. But 337 00:18:00,693 --> 00:18:02,733 Speaker 7: looking forward to seeing him on home turf and also 338 00:18:03,893 --> 00:18:07,093 Speaker 7: a few other players but Ruben at fullback. 339 00:18:07,133 --> 00:18:09,253 Speaker 6: This kid has huge amount of talent. 340 00:18:10,253 --> 00:18:12,453 Speaker 7: He was a standout for the Canes and Super Rugby 341 00:18:12,533 --> 00:18:15,573 Speaker 7: and looking forward to hopefully seeing your Blacks get some 342 00:18:15,613 --> 00:18:17,693 Speaker 7: good quick ball and Ruben. 343 00:18:17,453 --> 00:18:18,013 Speaker 5: Love being to. 344 00:18:19,773 --> 00:18:23,533 Speaker 7: Expose those talents at Test match level. What will the 345 00:18:23,533 --> 00:18:26,813 Speaker 7: French provide. I think they've reverted to a number of 346 00:18:26,813 --> 00:18:29,293 Speaker 7: players who played on that first Test, but still a 347 00:18:29,613 --> 00:18:31,173 Speaker 7: huge lack. 348 00:18:31,013 --> 00:18:34,373 Speaker 6: Of experience in this French team. I think they'll provide 349 00:18:36,213 --> 00:18:37,333 Speaker 6: half decent opposition. 350 00:18:37,453 --> 00:18:39,493 Speaker 7: But again, like I've said the last couple of weeks, 351 00:18:39,493 --> 00:18:42,173 Speaker 7: and I'll stick to what I'm saying, is that the 352 00:18:42,253 --> 00:18:44,453 Speaker 7: All Black should win by twenty thirty, if not forty 353 00:18:44,453 --> 00:18:49,493 Speaker 7: at least given the experience in this All Black team, 354 00:18:49,573 --> 00:18:51,413 Speaker 7: given the fact that there's a lot of chiefs in 355 00:18:51,453 --> 00:18:53,453 Speaker 7: the side and they've played a heck of a lot 356 00:18:53,493 --> 00:18:56,533 Speaker 7: of football together, I'd be very, very surprised if the 357 00:18:56,573 --> 00:18:58,293 Speaker 7: French got close. 358 00:18:58,613 --> 00:19:01,173 Speaker 6: They will be motivated. They won't want to leave here 359 00:19:03,373 --> 00:19:04,453 Speaker 6: getting spanked again. 360 00:19:05,973 --> 00:19:08,413 Speaker 7: They have had a long, long season a lot of 361 00:19:08,413 --> 00:19:12,733 Speaker 7: these French players which started last July beyond the plane 362 00:19:12,733 --> 00:19:17,533 Speaker 7: tomorrow home, but I think there'll be some motivation there 363 00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:20,893 Speaker 7: for the French. But the All Black should win well again. 364 00:19:21,053 --> 00:19:23,653 Speaker 2: Five pm this evening, of course, Wrexham taking on the 365 00:19:23,653 --> 00:19:27,213 Speaker 2: Wellington Phoenix. They're expecting well, potentially north of twenty thousand. 366 00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:29,933 Speaker 7: It's all sort of come around quite quickly, hasn't he 367 00:19:30,093 --> 00:19:36,533 Speaker 7: and this famous football team courtesy of the TV documentary 368 00:19:36,573 --> 00:19:40,773 Speaker 7: show or Flying the Wall show is here. Great news 369 00:19:40,813 --> 00:19:43,733 Speaker 7: this morning that Libby Cacacci, the All Whites player, has 370 00:19:43,813 --> 00:19:46,373 Speaker 7: signed for Rexham. He was playing in Italy and his 371 00:19:46,453 --> 00:19:49,173 Speaker 7: side got relegated to the second division, so he has 372 00:19:49,213 --> 00:19:53,533 Speaker 7: signed with Wrexham. Great opportunity to play in the Championship, 373 00:19:53,893 --> 00:19:58,173 Speaker 7: which is the second division in England, so good signing there, 374 00:19:58,413 --> 00:20:02,133 Speaker 7: great chance for him to impress other clubs in England, 375 00:20:02,213 --> 00:20:05,333 Speaker 7: especially Premier League clubs.

We're going 405 00:21:39,573 --> 00:21:41,573 Speaker 2: to start off with one of the top hits at 406 00:21:41,613 --> 00:21:45,093 Speaker 2: the New Zealand International Film Festival this year. Have a 407 00:21:45,133 --> 00:21:47,973 Speaker 2: listen to this. This is Grace a Prayer for Peace. 408 00:21:48,853 --> 00:21:51,533 Speaker 8: I think the paintings are a bit like us human beings. 409 00:21:51,773 --> 00:21:53,933 Speaker 8: We're born with what we have and we have to 410 00:21:53,973 --> 00:21:56,773 Speaker 8: seat out into the world with it and make the 411 00:21:56,813 --> 00:22:01,773 Speaker 8: most of it, you know, and that's our life. 412 00:22:05,573 --> 00:22:09,133 Speaker 2: This is a documentary about New Zealand artist Robin White, 413 00:22:09,253 --> 00:22:11,013 Speaker 2: so tell us about Grace A Prayer for Peace. 414 00:22:11,893 --> 00:22:15,533 Speaker 9: Yes, one of our greatest living artists, printmaker and beautiful 415 00:22:15,533 --> 00:22:18,493 Speaker 9: painter as well. This documentary is always a bit like 416 00:22:18,493 --> 00:22:22,373 Speaker 9: a collaboration. You could stay between Dame Robin White and 417 00:22:22,653 --> 00:22:26,693 Speaker 9: one of our greatest documentary makers, Dame Gayleen Preston, and 418 00:22:26,773 --> 00:22:29,773 Speaker 9: Gailien follows Robin for a couple of years shooting this film, 419 00:22:29,813 --> 00:22:33,973 Speaker 9: and she's created something I think that's really special. Robin 420 00:22:34,013 --> 00:22:39,173 Speaker 9: White has an expansive body of work and an incredible career, 421 00:22:39,253 --> 00:22:42,653 Speaker 9: But I think this isn't a biopical trying to put 422 00:22:42,693 --> 00:22:46,453 Speaker 9: it all into place. It's a real glimpse of the 423 00:22:46,533 --> 00:22:48,973 Speaker 9: artist at work. So there's a couple of things happening 424 00:22:49,013 --> 00:22:52,613 Speaker 9: in this documentary. First of all, Robin White takes us 425 00:22:52,613 --> 00:22:56,813 Speaker 9: around the Something is Happening retrospective exhibition of hers and 426 00:22:56,893 --> 00:22:58,933 Speaker 9: she talks to us about the works, and it's a 427 00:22:58,973 --> 00:23:02,773 Speaker 9: real treat to hear her talk about the relationship between 428 00:23:02,933 --> 00:23:07,093 Speaker 9: art and audience. We get this personal tour insight into 429 00:23:07,133 --> 00:23:10,133 Speaker 9: her work. So there's this and she's and at times 430 00:23:10,413 --> 00:23:13,493 Speaker 9: Gayleen has also sort of heard and on screen, and 431 00:23:13,533 --> 00:23:16,573 Speaker 9: it feels like you're having this very personal tour yourself 432 00:23:17,333 --> 00:23:20,253 Speaker 9: with the artist learning about her work. But for the 433 00:23:20,293 --> 00:23:24,293 Speaker 9: majority of this film, Robin pre follow Robin going about 434 00:23:24,333 --> 00:23:27,613 Speaker 9: her work, and this too is such a great treat 435 00:23:28,853 --> 00:23:33,133 Speaker 9: with Gaileen sort of focused on two aspects of her 436 00:23:33,173 --> 00:23:35,613 Speaker 9: recent career, when she's been in Japan where she did 437 00:23:35,613 --> 00:23:39,053 Speaker 9: a residency, and also when she went to Curbus and 438 00:23:39,093 --> 00:23:42,213 Speaker 9: she lived there a long time ago, and twenty years later, 439 00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:46,053 Speaker 9: she finally decides to execute this work which has been 440 00:23:46,093 --> 00:23:47,773 Speaker 9: in her mind for all this time. So we watch 441 00:23:47,773 --> 00:23:51,333 Speaker 9: her going about this process, we watch her create these works, 442 00:23:51,373 --> 00:23:55,453 Speaker 9: and it's really wonderful to hear what inspires her work, 443 00:23:55,533 --> 00:23:59,493 Speaker 9: what she wants to convey, her motives, the methods and 444 00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:02,653 Speaker 9: the materials she uses, how she conceives the work then 445 00:24:02,853 --> 00:24:07,013 Speaker 9: composes it. I found it absolutely fast to nating and 446 00:24:07,053 --> 00:24:11,973 Speaker 9: I I you know, Robin White has this created this 447 00:24:12,093 --> 00:24:16,173 Speaker 9: incredible legacy, and I think this film reminds us about 448 00:24:16,213 --> 00:24:20,813 Speaker 9: the importance of capturing the meaning behind her significant works 449 00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:24,493 Speaker 9: and learning from them from the artists themselves. 450 00:24:24,573 --> 00:24:24,813 Speaker 1: You know. 451 00:24:24,933 --> 00:24:27,253 Speaker 9: It's I think. I think Gayleen has just given us this, 452 00:24:28,373 --> 00:24:33,413 Speaker 9: this very special, moving, thought provoking film here that elevates 453 00:24:33,453 --> 00:24:41,133 Speaker 9: the experience of you know, seeing her works and understanding 454 00:24:41,133 --> 00:24:42,733 Speaker 9: the way she does it. And she's done a really 455 00:24:42,733 --> 00:24:45,533 Speaker 9: great job of filming the works as well, because nothing 456 00:24:45,613 --> 00:24:48,453 Speaker 9: beat seeing a piece of art in front of you 457 00:24:48,573 --> 00:24:51,173 Speaker 9: in person, right, But she comes very very close here. 458 00:24:51,213 --> 00:24:54,333 Speaker 9: She's done a really great job of filming some especially 459 00:24:54,373 --> 00:24:58,773 Speaker 9: some of Robin Nassive canvases, Like you know, I almost 460 00:24:58,853 --> 00:25:01,533 Speaker 9: I felt the power of them through the screen. I 461 00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:03,893 Speaker 9: think this is going to be stunning to see on 462 00:25:03,933 --> 00:25:06,373 Speaker 9: the big screen. It really is a very special film. 463 00:25:06,693 --> 00:25:09,613 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see it. I love Robin White's work. 464 00:25:09,733 --> 00:25:11,613 Speaker 2: Did you see a couple of years ago, it was 465 00:25:11,613 --> 00:25:14,693 Speaker 2: probably eighteen months or so ago, the Auckland Ark Gallery 466 00:25:14,733 --> 00:25:17,333 Speaker 2: had that incredible Robin White. 467 00:25:17,693 --> 00:25:20,413 Speaker 9: And that's what she yes, that's what she takes us around, right, 468 00:25:20,453 --> 00:25:23,213 Speaker 9: So that's part of it. And I love that it 469 00:25:23,253 --> 00:25:25,013 Speaker 9: is likely in your own little tour, but what I 470 00:25:25,133 --> 00:25:27,733 Speaker 9: really loved was seeing her working and action thing. So 471 00:25:27,773 --> 00:25:30,253 Speaker 9: this is screening at the New Zealand International Film Festival. 472 00:25:30,533 --> 00:25:32,773 Speaker 9: It's petting off on the thirty first of July. It's 473 00:25:32,853 --> 00:25:35,573 Speaker 9: running through the tenth of September around the whole country, 474 00:25:35,573 --> 00:25:39,613 Speaker 9: one hundred plus films, lots to choose from. What is 475 00:25:39,693 --> 00:25:43,173 Speaker 9: quite lovely though, is that this year they're also screaming 476 00:25:43,253 --> 00:25:46,573 Speaker 9: war stories our mothers never told us. And this is 477 00:25:47,413 --> 00:25:49,373 Speaker 9: a treasure. This is in the treasure section because this 478 00:25:49,413 --> 00:25:51,893 Speaker 9: is I think about thirty years old. This was also 479 00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:55,093 Speaker 9: directed and producers by Gaming Preston, So it's quite lovely. Yes, 480 00:25:55,093 --> 00:25:57,453 Speaker 9: it was released in ninety ninety five, so it's quite lovely. 481 00:25:57,493 --> 00:26:00,773 Speaker 9: We have one of her classic treasures in the film festival, 482 00:26:00,813 --> 00:26:02,493 Speaker 9: and we also have one of her most recent works 483 00:26:02,493 --> 00:26:03,973 Speaker 9: in the film which had a. 484 00:26:03,933 --> 00:26:06,253 Speaker 2: Special they are so good, Okay cool, So the film 485 00:26:06,253 --> 00:26:09,933 Speaker 2: is Grace a prayer for peace. Next up, this is 486 00:26:09,973 --> 00:26:12,413 Speaker 2: a film showing in cinema. Cinema is not at the 487 00:26:12,413 --> 00:26:16,613 Speaker 2: International Film Festival. It is a universal language. 488 00:26:17,573 --> 00:26:19,013 Speaker 9: So I thought that maybe if you don't want to 489 00:26:19,013 --> 00:26:21,013 Speaker 9: wait for the Film Festival, you would like to see 490 00:26:21,293 --> 00:26:24,973 Speaker 9: a nutty sweet little absurdist art house film then you 491 00:26:25,213 --> 00:26:29,613 Speaker 9: might want to about. This is just absolutely delightful. It's 492 00:26:29,613 --> 00:26:31,893 Speaker 9: a Canadian film, but it's in French and Farcy. It's 493 00:26:31,973 --> 00:26:36,173 Speaker 9: kind of like this cross cultural absurdist comedy comedy. It's 494 00:26:36,213 --> 00:26:40,053 Speaker 9: written and directed by Matthew Rankin, so it's inspired by 495 00:26:40,213 --> 00:26:43,693 Speaker 9: Iranian films, and lassie seems to be very very common 496 00:26:43,733 --> 00:26:46,613 Speaker 9: in the setting of Winnipeg, and it's got a touch 497 00:26:46,613 --> 00:26:49,853 Speaker 9: of Wiz Anderson's styling tour and we meet a range 498 00:26:49,853 --> 00:26:54,373 Speaker 9: of seemingly random people going about their lives. Two school 499 00:26:54,453 --> 00:26:56,653 Speaker 9: kids trying to get a large bill out of some 500 00:26:56,733 --> 00:27:00,293 Speaker 9: frozen ice, this insane teacher who's struggling with his students, 501 00:27:00,293 --> 00:27:02,813 Speaker 9: who's a civil servant from Quebec come to see his mother. 502 00:27:03,093 --> 00:27:05,333 Speaker 9: A tour guy that takes people on the tour of 503 00:27:05,373 --> 00:27:08,333 Speaker 9: the most sort of underrated things you could ever imagine, 504 00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:10,053 Speaker 9: like a briefcase that has been sitting on a seat 505 00:27:10,133 --> 00:27:14,533 Speaker 9: since nineteen eighty seven.

So there you go. Yeah, great, 589 00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:15,693 Speaker 10: it's great. 590 00:31:15,733 --> 00:31:18,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, so good. All right, Hey, you've got a fantastic 591 00:31:18,253 --> 00:31:21,013 Speaker 2: sounding little recipe this morning to make the most of 592 00:31:21,093 --> 00:31:22,533 Speaker 2: some good citrus at the moment. 593 00:31:23,453 --> 00:31:27,613 Speaker 11: Yes, honestly, this orange cake it's super simple. And before 594 00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:30,093 Speaker 11: listeners get excited or think oh it's that it's that 595 00:31:30,173 --> 00:31:33,053 Speaker 11: boiled orange cake, it's not the boiled orange cake, because 596 00:31:33,053 --> 00:31:35,493 Speaker 11: an actual fact, I've never enjoyed the boiled orange cake 597 00:31:35,533 --> 00:31:38,613 Speaker 11: because it's too pathetesa me where you boil whole oranges 598 00:31:38,653 --> 00:31:40,813 Speaker 11: and use those for the cake. It's much simpler than that, 599 00:31:41,173 --> 00:31:43,253 Speaker 11: and it's but this one is really crammed full of 600 00:31:43,253 --> 00:31:46,773 Speaker 11: a very intense orange flavor. So I make it in 601 00:31:46,813 --> 00:31:49,813 Speaker 11: a loaf tin. So you could probably double the recipe 602 00:31:49,853 --> 00:31:53,253 Speaker 11: make a sizeable sort of round twenty three centimeter cake 603 00:31:53,253 --> 00:31:55,973 Speaker 11: if you like. But here is the recipe for a 604 00:31:56,093 --> 00:31:58,493 Speaker 11: nice little loaf cake that we'll see you through the weekend. 605 00:31:59,973 --> 00:32:02,533 Speaker 11: Bang that oven on one hundred and eighty degrees celsius 606 00:32:02,893 --> 00:32:06,333 Speaker 11: and line a loaf tin with some some baking paper, 607 00:32:06,813 --> 00:32:09,173 Speaker 11: and then in a bowl of a food processor, I 608 00:32:09,453 --> 00:32:12,373 Speaker 11: just process a cup of raw sugar. I mean, if 609 00:32:12,373 --> 00:32:14,253 Speaker 11: you don't have raw sugar, just use ordinary sugar. But 610 00:32:14,493 --> 00:32:17,093 Speaker 11: I quite like the caramelly flavor that you get from 611 00:32:17,133 --> 00:32:21,693 Speaker 11: this from raw sugar. And you do that with some citrus, 612 00:32:21,733 --> 00:32:24,613 Speaker 11: and I use the rind of two oranges and one lemon. 613 00:32:25,053 --> 00:32:27,333 Speaker 11: But so I take it off with a potato peela jack, 614 00:32:27,453 --> 00:32:29,933 Speaker 11: so I want to avoid the white pith, okay, And 615 00:32:29,933 --> 00:32:32,693 Speaker 11: I find that kind of bitter Flavorates want that pure 616 00:32:32,973 --> 00:32:36,013 Speaker 11: citrusy flavor in hair, so and you process that in 617 00:32:36,653 --> 00:32:38,693 Speaker 11: your food process or with the sugar so. 618 00:32:38,613 --> 00:32:40,533 Speaker 10: That you end up with a sort of damp, sandy 619 00:32:40,693 --> 00:32:42,013 Speaker 10: kind of texture. It's really lovely. 620 00:32:42,053 --> 00:32:44,333 Speaker 11: It's a wonderful way to fuse the sugar with the 621 00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:48,573 Speaker 11: citrus flavors. And then well then I take the pith 622 00:32:48,613 --> 00:32:51,533 Speaker 11: off the orange off one of the oranges with a 623 00:32:51,533 --> 00:32:53,773 Speaker 11: serrated knife, and then I chop that up and put 624 00:32:53,813 --> 00:32:54,773 Speaker 11: that in the blender as well. 625 00:32:54,813 --> 00:32:59,053 Speaker 10: So I've got this lovely sugary citrusy mixed there. Transfer 626 00:32:59,133 --> 00:32:59,373 Speaker 10: that to a. 627 00:32:59,413 --> 00:33:02,133 Speaker 11: Mixing bowl, and then whisk in an egg into that, 628 00:33:02,493 --> 00:33:05,013 Speaker 11: and then just keep whisking or beating it till it's 629 00:33:05,093 --> 00:33:08,813 Speaker 11: nice and thick and me and then add in half 630 00:33:08,853 --> 00:33:11,613 Speaker 11: a cup of olive oil. I use grape seed oil 631 00:33:11,813 --> 00:33:14,813 Speaker 11: or caged my hands on some cheap olive oil, I'll 632 00:33:14,893 --> 00:33:18,493 Speaker 11: use that. And again, using olive oil instead of a 633 00:33:19,253 --> 00:33:22,573 Speaker 11: instead of butter and a cake. It just really makes 634 00:33:22,573 --> 00:33:25,813 Speaker 11: the difference. It means that cake is fresh for days. 635 00:33:26,173 --> 00:33:30,533 Speaker 11: I'm avoiding saying the word moist, and it just it's 636 00:33:30,653 --> 00:33:33,333 Speaker 11: got this lovely testure which I absolutely dore look quite 637 00:33:33,373 --> 00:33:37,373 Speaker 11: different from a from a buttered cake. So yeah, so 638 00:33:37,893 --> 00:33:39,973 Speaker 11: add your oil in there, pinch of salt in there, 639 00:33:40,053 --> 00:33:42,373 Speaker 11: just for a bit of balance, and mix that u 640 00:33:42,453 --> 00:33:45,853 Speaker 11: until it's combined. And then stir through some yogurt, about 641 00:33:45,893 --> 00:33:48,333 Speaker 11: half a cup of good thick natural yogurt that you've 642 00:33:49,173 --> 00:33:52,493 Speaker 11: stirred in two tablespoons of lemon juice into their Add 643 00:33:52,973 --> 00:33:55,013 Speaker 11: one or a quarter cups of plain flour, or you 644 00:33:55,013 --> 00:33:58,493 Speaker 11: can use self raising flour. If you're using plain flour, 645 00:33:58,493 --> 00:34:01,213 Speaker 11: add in two teaspoons of baking powder, and I do 646 00:34:01,293 --> 00:34:04,693 Speaker 11: about a half a teaspoon of baking soda sometimes too. 647 00:34:04,973 --> 00:34:08,093 Speaker 11: You've got all the all the ingredients there that we're 648 00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:10,573 Speaker 11: going to give this cake or this loaf cake really 649 00:34:10,573 --> 00:34:13,773 Speaker 11: great rise because you've got baking powders, you've got the 650 00:34:13,853 --> 00:34:15,653 Speaker 11: lemon juice, the yogurt and all of that sort of 651 00:34:15,653 --> 00:34:19,493 Speaker 11: thing that's going to react with those raising agents. Throw 652 00:34:19,573 --> 00:34:23,693 Speaker 11: that into your into your loaf tin and it's very 653 00:34:23,733 --> 00:34:25,853 Speaker 11: it's a nice thick batter, and then what you need 654 00:34:25,893 --> 00:34:27,853 Speaker 11: to be doing is just cooking that for about thirty 655 00:34:27,853 --> 00:34:29,053 Speaker 11: five to forty minutes. 656 00:34:29,293 --> 00:34:32,453 Speaker 10: Loaf cakes don't I don't know why.

But yeah, also making sure that 814 00:42:32,693 --> 00:42:34,373 Speaker 13: you're fulfilling the vision of the director. 815 00:42:34,613 --> 00:42:37,493 Speaker 2: So for example, to use the media, or example, once again, 816 00:42:37,573 --> 00:42:39,493 Speaker 2: if I came to you and I said, I want 817 00:42:39,533 --> 00:42:41,973 Speaker 2: to have a perfectly realistic metia you're coming to earth, 818 00:42:42,373 --> 00:42:44,893 Speaker 2: but I've got five grand to do it. You'd be like, right, 819 00:42:45,013 --> 00:42:47,013 Speaker 2: I know, I know a green screen and we've got 820 00:42:47,093 --> 00:42:50,133 Speaker 2: some fishing line. Whereas if I said, you know, not 821 00:42:50,613 --> 00:42:53,533 Speaker 2: money is no object, but perhaps I've got I've got 822 00:42:53,573 --> 00:42:57,053 Speaker 2: a Hollywood blockbuster kind of budget at my fingertips, then 823 00:42:57,413 --> 00:42:58,933 Speaker 2: you might have a completely different approach. 824 00:42:59,933 --> 00:43:01,853 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean the approach might be similar, but it 825 00:43:01,973 --> 00:43:04,493 Speaker 13: might be the way in which we frame the shots. 826 00:43:04,533 --> 00:43:06,973 Speaker 13: For example, you know, like an epic wide of the 827 00:43:07,053 --> 00:43:09,573 Speaker 13: media crashing through space is obviously going to have a 828 00:43:09,613 --> 00:43:12,213 Speaker 13: lot of components to it, but then you can sort of, 829 00:43:12,373 --> 00:43:14,213 Speaker 13: you know, push in, get closer to the media and 830 00:43:14,293 --> 00:43:17,293 Speaker 13: not see the whole media. You know, there's always solutions 831 00:43:17,413 --> 00:43:20,693 Speaker 13: to the visual problem that you're trying to solve that 832 00:43:20,773 --> 00:43:24,453 Speaker 13: you don't necessarily. Some can have more cost of implications 833 00:43:24,493 --> 00:43:27,333 Speaker 13: than others, so you know, it's always about finding the 834 00:43:27,413 --> 00:43:27,933 Speaker 13: right balance. 835 00:43:28,373 --> 00:43:30,293 Speaker 2: You've been working in the industry for a few years now, 836 00:43:30,333 --> 00:43:32,053 Speaker 2: but how does one get to a point where you 837 00:43:32,213 --> 00:43:33,453 Speaker 2: know what the best solution is? 838 00:43:35,173 --> 00:43:37,733 Speaker 13: I think the best solution is always changing. You know, 839 00:43:38,293 --> 00:43:41,013 Speaker 13: technology has been advancing at a rate of knots for 840 00:43:41,133 --> 00:43:43,013 Speaker 13: many years throughout my whole career and the things that 841 00:43:43,093 --> 00:43:44,533 Speaker 13: we used to be able to do twenty years ago, 842 00:43:44,613 --> 00:43:47,693 Speaker 13: you know, would take like, you know, nothing to do now. 843 00:43:48,973 --> 00:43:52,613 Speaker 13: And also what audiences want as well, Like, there's definitely 844 00:43:54,133 --> 00:43:56,933 Speaker 13: a very big onus at the moment on practical and 845 00:43:57,533 --> 00:43:59,973 Speaker 13: integrating with that kind of practical component. 846 00:44:00,773 --> 00:44:05,693 Speaker 2: So what does that mean, Well, there's always a physical. 847 00:44:05,373 --> 00:44:07,093 Speaker 13: Component to most of the ways that we do, right. 848 00:44:07,173 --> 00:44:10,013 Speaker 13: We go onto moot sets, there are actors, there's sets, 849 00:44:10,133 --> 00:44:14,053 Speaker 13: there's locations. There's the special effects team, which are the 850 00:44:14,053 --> 00:44:17,133 Speaker 13: people who actually make things explode you know, on set, 851 00:44:18,373 --> 00:44:21,813 Speaker 13: and our work invariably dovetails into everything. 852 00:44:21,493 --> 00:44:22,053 Speaker 5: That they do. 853 00:44:22,333 --> 00:44:22,613 Speaker 14: And so. 854 00:44:24,693 --> 00:44:25,933 Speaker 6: You know, to kind of. 855 00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:34,013 Speaker 13: In the work between all of the tangible work that say, 856 00:44:34,133 --> 00:44:36,253 Speaker 13: goes into a movie and the digital stuff which we're 857 00:44:36,293 --> 00:44:36,893 Speaker 13: responsible for. 858 00:44:37,213 --> 00:44:39,893 Speaker 2: Right, So that's interesting that audience is kind of what 859 00:44:39,973 --> 00:44:42,933 Speaker 2: you're saying, is they actually value more real stuff today. 860 00:44:43,813 --> 00:44:47,253 Speaker 2: Do you think do you think is that because the 861 00:44:47,493 --> 00:44:50,333 Speaker 2: unreal for one of a better term, or digitized, you know, 862 00:44:50,453 --> 00:44:53,733 Speaker 2: forms of storytelling have become much more ubiquitous and much 863 00:44:53,813 --> 00:44:57,893 Speaker 2: more available. Actually, people are kind of thirsting for stuff 864 00:44:57,933 --> 00:44:59,333 Speaker 2: that's more grounded in reality. 865 00:45:00,493 --> 00:45:01,333 Speaker 5: I think people just. 866 00:45:01,413 --> 00:45:04,973 Speaker 13: Really enjoy it when there's something that you can physically touch, 867 00:45:05,133 --> 00:45:08,893 Speaker 13: you know, like you can see. I don't think it 868 00:45:08,973 --> 00:45:11,013 Speaker 13: really actually makes that much difference to the enjoyment of 869 00:45:11,053 --> 00:45:13,013 Speaker 13: the movie, especially if the work is seemless. I think 870 00:45:13,053 --> 00:45:15,093 Speaker 13: most of the time people don't know. But I think 871 00:45:15,253 --> 00:45:18,133 Speaker 13: when there's when you can sort of, you know, see 872 00:45:18,133 --> 00:45:20,773 Speaker 13: it behind the scene shot and see that this castle 873 00:45:20,813 --> 00:45:22,573 Speaker 13: actually existed and you can go visit it. 874 00:45:22,653 --> 00:45:22,813 Speaker 5: You know. 875 00:45:23,133 --> 00:45:26,093 Speaker 13: It's the same reason why places like Hobbiton are so 876 00:45:26,293 --> 00:45:28,413 Speaker 13: popular to go and visit now, because they're there. You know, 877 00:45:28,533 --> 00:45:30,213 Speaker 13: you can see them, you can walk up to the doors, 878 00:45:30,613 --> 00:45:32,773 Speaker 13: and if they only ever existed as a digital thing, 879 00:45:32,853 --> 00:45:35,093 Speaker 13: then you don't you sort of lose that connection a 880 00:45:35,133 --> 00:45:37,773 Speaker 13: little bit with it. So, you know, I think for 881 00:45:37,893 --> 00:45:40,773 Speaker 13: a long time, more and more digital work was being used, 882 00:45:41,373 --> 00:45:43,573 Speaker 13: and I think that's been sort of slowly sort of 883 00:45:43,653 --> 00:45:47,493 Speaker 13: pared back in collaboration with all the practical work so 884 00:45:47,613 --> 00:45:49,693 Speaker 13: that you do get the best of both worlds. 885 00:45:50,213 --> 00:45:52,853 Speaker 2: You said that most of the time people watching movies 886 00:45:52,973 --> 00:45:56,493 Speaker 2: don't notice, and you said earlier that good visual effects 887 00:45:56,573 --> 00:45:59,293 Speaker 2: are usually invisible, but they might be invisible to someone 888 00:45:59,413 --> 00:46:01,693 Speaker 2: like me. What's it like for you going to the 889 00:46:01,733 --> 00:46:03,973 Speaker 2: movies and watching someone else's work, do you find yourself 890 00:46:04,013 --> 00:46:06,213 Speaker 2: constantly critiquing the visual effects? 891 00:46:07,213 --> 00:46:09,693 Speaker 13: I yeah, it depends like it depends on the movie. 892 00:46:10,373 --> 00:46:12,853 Speaker 13: And I always think this is a testament to how 893 00:46:13,653 --> 00:46:14,493 Speaker 13: good the film is. 894 00:46:14,653 --> 00:46:14,693 Speaker 15: Is. 895 00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:17,213 Speaker 13: If I'm sitting there totally engrossed in the story and 896 00:46:17,253 --> 00:46:19,133 Speaker 13: the work is flying by and I haven't paid any 897 00:46:19,133 --> 00:46:21,573 Speaker 13: attention to it, then I know it's a great film. 898 00:46:22,173 --> 00:46:24,653 Speaker 13: If I'm sitting there studying the work that's been done, 899 00:46:24,693 --> 00:46:27,533 Speaker 13: then obviously it's not got my attention. 900 00:46:27,733 --> 00:46:27,933 Speaker 5: Yeah. 901 00:46:28,133 --> 00:46:30,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it must happen sometimes, and you must have 902 00:46:30,173 --> 00:46:32,173 Speaker 2: a much more discerning eye for it than you know, 903 00:46:32,253 --> 00:46:33,973 Speaker 2: the average punter going along to the movies. 904 00:46:34,653 --> 00:46:37,213 Speaker 13: Oh absolutely, Yeah. There's certain films which I you know, 905 00:46:37,373 --> 00:46:39,173 Speaker 13: I just haven't been able to watch property and in 906 00:46:39,213 --> 00:46:40,973 Speaker 13: particular ones that I've worked on as well. You know, 907 00:46:41,133 --> 00:46:44,453 Speaker 13: that's the most impossible thing to watch objectively. You just 908 00:46:44,573 --> 00:46:46,533 Speaker 13: end up looking at the things that you'd wish you'd done. 909 00:46:46,653 --> 00:46:46,813 Speaker 5: You know. 910 00:46:47,413 --> 00:46:49,573 Speaker 2: It does it change when it's on a big screen 911 00:46:49,613 --> 00:46:52,413 Speaker 2: as well? Like there what you know, if you're looking 912 00:46:52,493 --> 00:46:54,253 Speaker 2: at something in an edit suite and maybe you've got 913 00:46:54,253 --> 00:46:57,173 Speaker 2: a couple of computer monitors, well, you can. I'm just 914 00:46:58,173 --> 00:47:00,093 Speaker 2: imagining here that it might be easier to look at 915 00:47:00,133 --> 00:47:02,653 Speaker 2: a tiny blemish or something that's not quite perfect and say, oh, well, 916 00:47:02,693 --> 00:47:04,453 Speaker 2: that's not that noticeable. But then when you put it 917 00:47:04,573 --> 00:47:07,173 Speaker 2: up on a screen that's sixty five across, it's kind 918 00:47:07,173 --> 00:47:08,013 Speaker 2: of a different experience. 919 00:47:09,173 --> 00:47:09,933 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we do. 920 00:47:10,173 --> 00:47:12,653 Speaker 13: We do actually view stuff throughout the whole process, some 921 00:47:12,933 --> 00:47:16,773 Speaker 13: pretty big screens for this reason. But one thing, when 922 00:47:16,853 --> 00:47:20,173 Speaker 13: we finished touching the work, you know, it hasn't had 923 00:47:20,173 --> 00:47:23,453 Speaker 13: the final color adjustments done to it. The sound isn't 924 00:47:23,453 --> 00:47:25,773 Speaker 13: there yet. There's still a lot more that happens afterwards, 925 00:47:26,253 --> 00:47:28,613 Speaker 13: and so you know, when you actually see the work 926 00:47:28,653 --> 00:47:32,693 Speaker 13: in the context of the film and not looping over 927 00:47:32,813 --> 00:47:35,653 Speaker 13: on repeat, you know, you see it fly by. With 928 00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:38,013 Speaker 13: all of the additional work that comes from the sound 929 00:47:38,533 --> 00:47:42,293 Speaker 13: and post production teams. A lot of things you obsess 930 00:47:42,333 --> 00:47:45,213 Speaker 13: over didn't actually matter that much in the end, And 931 00:47:45,333 --> 00:47:48,413 Speaker 13: sometimes some detail that you didn't think mattered that you're like, oh, man, 932 00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:50,853 Speaker 13: more attention to that. 933 00:47:51,373 --> 00:47:52,933 Speaker 2: So tell us, tell us how you got involved with 934 00:47:53,013 --> 00:47:53,413 Speaker 2: better Man. 935 00:47:54,973 --> 00:47:59,493 Speaker 13: So we were doing some pre visualization work. But weather, 936 00:47:59,613 --> 00:48:03,973 Speaker 13: which is typically a process that happens before you shoot. 937 00:48:04,053 --> 00:48:04,813 Speaker 5: It's you doing. 938 00:48:05,053 --> 00:48:05,893 Speaker 6: You do it in the computer. 939 00:48:06,013 --> 00:48:09,853 Speaker 13: It's a very quick and cost effective way of working 940 00:48:09,933 --> 00:48:13,453 Speaker 13: out what your shots look like, the camera angles, what 941 00:48:13,573 --> 00:48:16,453 Speaker 13: the action should be, and you can try lots of 942 00:48:16,493 --> 00:48:19,693 Speaker 13: things out quite quickly. And so they did. The ten 943 00:48:19,813 --> 00:48:22,853 Speaker 13: musical sequences in the movie were all pre visualized before 944 00:48:22,893 --> 00:48:27,573 Speaker 13: we started shooting, and it comes very cost heavy to 945 00:48:27,653 --> 00:48:31,013 Speaker 13: try and do that on the day when you're actually 946 00:48:31,013 --> 00:48:33,973 Speaker 13: trying to film. And so after seeing a couple of 947 00:48:34,013 --> 00:48:36,893 Speaker 13: those sequences, I read the script and that was me. 948 00:48:37,653 --> 00:48:39,853 Speaker 13: I was all in at that point to want to 949 00:48:39,933 --> 00:48:41,173 Speaker 13: take on the challenge. 950 00:48:40,893 --> 00:48:44,493 Speaker 2: Because it's such a unique film. I I think I 951 00:48:44,533 --> 00:48:46,333 Speaker 2: think most of our audience will will have seen it, 952 00:48:46,453 --> 00:48:47,893 Speaker 2: or will at the very least be aware of it. 953 00:48:47,933 --> 00:48:50,453 Speaker 2: I just remember when I first saw the trailer and 954 00:48:50,773 --> 00:48:54,093 Speaker 2: I was like, hang on, there's an ape. Robbie Williams 955 00:48:54,533 --> 00:48:56,573 Speaker 2: is being played by an ape. Said it was kind 956 00:48:56,573 --> 00:49:01,933 Speaker 2: of like a second take. Did you have the same experience, No, I. 957 00:49:01,933 --> 00:49:04,733 Speaker 13: Mean I grew up in the nineties and I was 958 00:49:04,813 --> 00:49:08,133 Speaker 13: around Robi's career the whole time. Are very familiar with 959 00:49:09,173 --> 00:49:11,853 Speaker 13: the backdrop of which the movie takes place and him 960 00:49:11,893 --> 00:49:13,653 Speaker 13: as a character, and it just it was just a 961 00:49:13,773 --> 00:49:17,133 Speaker 13: natural fit. The other thing I find with a lot 962 00:49:17,173 --> 00:49:19,733 Speaker 13: of musical biopics is they typically cast an actor who 963 00:49:20,453 --> 00:49:23,373 Speaker 13: looks similar, or they make them look similar through hair 964 00:49:23,453 --> 00:49:25,813 Speaker 13: and makeup, but they're never quite there. There was like, 965 00:49:26,013 --> 00:49:28,933 Speaker 13: you know, like a very close replica of that person, 966 00:49:29,173 --> 00:49:31,493 Speaker 13: and sometimes it can actually bump you out of the 967 00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:36,213 Speaker 13: film a little bit. By making Robbie an ape in 968 00:49:36,333 --> 00:49:41,093 Speaker 13: the film, you can see, yeah, I mean, we were 969 00:49:41,253 --> 00:49:46,053 Speaker 13: very faithful to the costumes that he wore, the hairstars 970 00:49:46,093 --> 00:49:49,053 Speaker 13: that he had. You know, everything is anchored in reality, 971 00:49:49,213 --> 00:49:53,293 Speaker 13: but the actual physical look of Robbie is very removed 972 00:49:53,333 --> 00:49:54,333 Speaker 13: from the real Robert. 973 00:49:54,373 --> 00:49:56,853 Speaker 2: It's such a good point. I'm speaking with Luke Miller 974 00:49:56,973 --> 00:50:00,733 Speaker 2: from Wheater Effects about his job and specifically about his 975 00:50:00,933 --> 00:50:04,573 Speaker 2: role on the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man. There's that 976 00:50:04,693 --> 00:50:06,813 Speaker 2: one scene. I've got to ask you about the scene 977 00:50:06,853 --> 00:50:10,813 Speaker 2: for Rock DJ. So we've got the numbers here. Three 978 00:50:10,973 --> 00:50:15,653 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four frames, five digital costume changes, fifty dancers, 979 00:50:16,053 --> 00:50:18,653 Speaker 2: all filmed on location on Regent Street. I think it 980 00:50:18,733 --> 00:50:20,733 Speaker 2: seems like three and a half minutes long. How did 981 00:50:20,773 --> 00:50:22,253 Speaker 2: you go about a challenge like that? 982 00:50:23,453 --> 00:50:24,973 Speaker 13: I was going to say I think it's five hundred 983 00:50:25,093 --> 00:50:26,173 Speaker 13: dances we had and. 984 00:50:27,053 --> 00:50:32,093 Speaker 2: Five hundred okay, yeah, So we'd. 985 00:50:31,893 --> 00:50:35,653 Speaker 13: Obviously planned out meticulously where we were going to go. 986 00:50:35,853 --> 00:50:39,173 Speaker 13: We'd pre visualize the whole move. We'd figured out where 987 00:50:39,253 --> 00:50:41,613 Speaker 13: we could actually physically move a camera down the street, 988 00:50:42,293 --> 00:50:47,333 Speaker 13: and we rehearsed for four days straight in a sort 989 00:50:47,333 --> 00:50:49,693 Speaker 13: of aircraft hangar. It is the only place that was 990 00:50:49,693 --> 00:50:51,573 Speaker 13: big enough that we could sort of tape out Regent 991 00:50:51,613 --> 00:50:54,653 Speaker 13: Street on the floor to practice where everyone needed to be. 992 00:50:55,653 --> 00:50:59,333 Speaker 13: And then we shot for four nights straight in doing 993 00:50:59,573 --> 00:51:03,933 Speaker 13: the different sections. And you know, there's so many variables 994 00:51:04,013 --> 00:51:07,613 Speaker 13: in a shot like that, you know, there's there's certain 995 00:51:07,693 --> 00:51:11,373 Speaker 13: things like one example is the pogo sticks the boys take. 996 00:51:11,453 --> 00:51:14,853 Speaker 13: That boys all had to learn how to pogo stick 997 00:51:15,013 --> 00:51:18,413 Speaker 13: in sync to the music at a particular time, and 998 00:51:19,213 --> 00:51:23,373 Speaker 13: that stuff can't be can't be fixed after the fact 999 00:51:23,453 --> 00:51:26,453 Speaker 13: in post. That has to happen on the street in 1000 00:51:26,533 --> 00:51:28,853 Speaker 13: front of the camera. And so it was very typical 1001 00:51:28,893 --> 00:51:31,373 Speaker 13: for every single night for us to do over forty 1002 00:51:31,493 --> 00:51:34,733 Speaker 13: takes for each section to be able to then stitch 1003 00:51:34,773 --> 00:51:36,373 Speaker 13: it together to make the oner. 1004 00:51:36,653 --> 00:51:42,053 Speaker 2: It's just like a fantastical logistical operation, but it's just 1005 00:51:42,253 --> 00:51:45,013 Speaker 2: all of these different kind of components and dynamics that 1006 00:51:45,053 --> 00:51:48,053 Speaker 2: you have to somehow coordinate to pull off something like 1007 00:51:48,133 --> 00:51:50,373 Speaker 2: that is kind of extraordinary, but pull it off. 1008 00:51:50,453 --> 00:51:50,693 Speaker 4: You did. 1009 00:51:50,893 --> 00:51:53,813 Speaker 2: Congratulations on your Oscar nomination this year. 1010 00:51:53,813 --> 00:51:54,093 Speaker 14: How was that? 1011 00:51:55,333 --> 00:51:55,453 Speaker 5: Oh? 1012 00:51:55,533 --> 00:51:59,333 Speaker 13: That was an incredible experience. That was you know, better 1013 00:51:59,413 --> 00:52:03,493 Speaker 13: Man was definitely one of the outside movies I think 1014 00:52:04,693 --> 00:52:08,773 Speaker 13: in the in the race, and you know, it was 1015 00:52:08,973 --> 00:52:12,493 Speaker 13: very It was very proud and a humbling moment for 1016 00:52:13,973 --> 00:52:19,213 Speaker 13: on that stage one and represent all the work that 1017 00:52:19,293 --> 00:52:22,373 Speaker 13: all the artists, production, everyone had put into it. Obviously 1018 00:52:22,413 --> 00:52:24,133 Speaker 13: I would have loved to have gone one step further 1019 00:52:24,293 --> 00:52:28,533 Speaker 13: and won, but you know, even even just getting nominated 1020 00:52:28,693 --> 00:52:29,213 Speaker 13: was incredible. 1021 00:52:29,333 --> 00:52:31,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. So where do you see the 1022 00:52:32,293 --> 00:52:34,693 Speaker 2: kind of field going? Are we heading towards a world 1023 00:52:34,733 --> 00:52:36,893 Speaker 2: where you can just go to a computer and type 1024 00:52:36,973 --> 00:52:40,133 Speaker 2: in a prompt and basically it'll have the perfect metia 1025 00:52:40,213 --> 00:52:41,173 Speaker 2: or crashing towards Earth? 1026 00:52:43,053 --> 00:52:46,093 Speaker 13: I think that will there is a possibility that that 1027 00:52:46,853 --> 00:52:49,733 Speaker 13: world exists. But the problem is is that you still 1028 00:52:49,893 --> 00:52:53,653 Speaker 13: need to tell stories. And you know, one thing I find, 1029 00:52:53,813 --> 00:52:57,533 Speaker 13: especially with AI, is it can only draw on what 1030 00:52:57,653 --> 00:53:00,333 Speaker 13: exists in the world up unto that point. Right, it 1031 00:53:00,453 --> 00:53:02,853 Speaker 13: can't come up with new ideas, and so you still 1032 00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:07,253 Speaker 13: need people to tell real come up with stories and 1033 00:53:07,773 --> 00:53:10,853 Speaker 13: to tell real ideas. I mean, I think one area 1034 00:53:10,973 --> 00:53:13,973 Speaker 13: it's grateful is sort of doing some of the menial 1035 00:53:14,093 --> 00:53:17,773 Speaker 13: tasks within the visual effects space, the stuff which you know, 1036 00:53:17,893 --> 00:53:20,453 Speaker 13: people get very frustrated with monotonous tasks that you just 1037 00:53:20,493 --> 00:53:23,173 Speaker 13: do over and over again. Absolutely, we'll give that to 1038 00:53:23,253 --> 00:53:26,693 Speaker 13: the machines. But I think we'll always need human beings 1039 00:53:26,773 --> 00:53:28,053 Speaker 13: to tell stories. 1040 00:53:28,173 --> 00:53:30,293 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope. So look at such a pleasure to 1041 00:53:30,653 --> 00:53:32,413 Speaker 2: speak with you. Thank you so much for giving us 1042 00:53:32,413 --> 00:53:34,853 Speaker 2: your time, and congratulations on the success of better Man. 1043 00:53:35,733 --> 00:53:36,053 Speaker 5: Awesome. 1044 00:53:36,133 --> 00:53:36,613 Speaker 3: Thank you Jack. 1045 00:53:36,893 --> 00:53:39,893 Speaker 2: That is Luke Miller from Wetter Effects.

Tell us about Untamed. 1077 00:55:11,293 --> 00:55:13,733 Speaker 16: This is a new murder mystery series with a great 1078 00:55:13,813 --> 00:55:17,733 Speaker 16: cast and quite an unusual and quite beautiful location. 1079 00:55:18,173 --> 00:55:18,573 Speaker 5: As you say. 1080 00:55:18,613 --> 00:55:20,613 Speaker 16: It stars Eric Banner and Sam Neil, and it's about 1081 00:55:20,613 --> 00:55:23,293 Speaker 16: a murder that takes place in the Yosemite National Park 1082 00:55:23,373 --> 00:55:27,373 Speaker 16: in California. And Eric Banner plays a special agent, Kyle Turner. 1083 00:55:27,453 --> 00:55:30,413 Speaker 16: He's basically a park ranger but with police powers, and 1084 00:55:30,813 --> 00:55:33,773 Speaker 16: he's responsible for solving the mystery of a body that 1085 00:55:33,893 --> 00:55:37,613 Speaker 16: falls from our Capitan mountain in the park. Samuil plays 1086 00:55:37,653 --> 00:55:41,413 Speaker 16: his boss. They are longtime friends. But Kyle is your 1087 00:55:41,733 --> 00:55:45,093 Speaker 16: typical grumpy but brilliant detective with an ex. 1088 00:55:45,013 --> 00:55:46,373 Speaker 6: Wife and a drinking problem. 1089 00:55:46,813 --> 00:55:49,853 Speaker 16: And so the setup of the show is quite familiar 1090 00:55:50,133 --> 00:55:52,173 Speaker 16: and similar to a lot of other TV murder mysteries. 1091 00:55:52,213 --> 00:55:55,693 Speaker 16: But Eric Banner is so good in this I'll watch 1092 00:55:55,773 --> 00:55:58,253 Speaker 16: anything that Sam Neil is in. And the setting of 1093 00:55:58,333 --> 00:56:00,773 Speaker 16: the National Park is so beautiful and remote, and the 1094 00:56:00,893 --> 00:56:03,413 Speaker 16: scale of the landscape and the photography and this is 1095 00:56:03,533 --> 00:56:06,253 Speaker 16: really impressive. So it's those things that make this shows 1096 00:56:06,373 --> 00:56:09,013 Speaker 16: and out and makes it worth watching. And it's all 1097 00:56:09,013 --> 00:56:11,973 Speaker 16: about that idea that the rangers can only really know 1098 00:56:12,253 --> 00:56:14,773 Speaker 16: a small piece of this huge national park, and there's 1099 00:56:14,813 --> 00:56:17,813 Speaker 16: so much wilderness and potential for danger out there that 1100 00:56:17,893 --> 00:56:20,333 Speaker 16: they can't control. So you know, it is a little 1101 00:56:20,373 --> 00:56:23,333 Speaker 16: bit formulaic at times, but still a very watchable, really 1102 00:56:23,453 --> 00:56:24,213 Speaker 16: enjoyable series. 1103 00:56:24,293 --> 00:56:27,173 Speaker 2: Cool Okay, that's untamed. It's on Netflix. Also on Netflix, 1104 00:56:27,373 --> 00:56:28,173 Speaker 2: Sneaky Pete. 1105 00:56:29,373 --> 00:56:31,893 Speaker 16: Yes, Sneaky Pete. This isn't a new show. It came 1106 00:56:31,973 --> 00:56:33,973 Speaker 16: out in twenty seventeen, but it's just come on to 1107 00:56:34,053 --> 00:56:36,453 Speaker 16: Netflix for the first time in the last week and 1108 00:56:36,573 --> 00:56:39,693 Speaker 16: all three seasons are there now. This is a great 1109 00:56:39,733 --> 00:56:43,613 Speaker 16: drama that stars Giovanni Rabisi and he plays Marius. Marius 1110 00:56:43,853 --> 00:56:46,013 Speaker 16: is a con man who gets out of prison but 1111 00:56:46,173 --> 00:56:48,773 Speaker 16: can't return to his old life because his enemies are 1112 00:56:48,813 --> 00:56:52,293 Speaker 16: still after him, so he assumes the identity of his 1113 00:56:52,493 --> 00:56:55,813 Speaker 16: prison cellmate, Pete, and he goes to stay with Pete's 1114 00:56:55,853 --> 00:56:59,053 Speaker 16: long lost family, who haven't seen Pete for decades. They 1115 00:56:59,173 --> 00:57:03,533 Speaker 16: happily welcome Pete back into the fold and welcoming back 1116 00:57:03,533 --> 00:57:06,373 Speaker 16: into the family, but Pete's family has their own sects 1117 00:57:06,693 --> 00:57:10,253 Speaker 16: and their own issues. That means Marius could be in 1118 00:57:10,373 --> 00:57:13,493 Speaker 16: as much danger with Pete's family as in his old life, 1119 00:57:13,573 --> 00:57:16,453 Speaker 16: and the show is about Marius sort of moving between 1120 00:57:16,533 --> 00:57:19,093 Speaker 16: those two lives and those two different worlds, trying to 1121 00:57:19,133 --> 00:57:22,253 Speaker 16: stay in hiding while also trying not to blow his 1122 00:57:22,333 --> 00:57:25,373 Speaker 16: cover with Pete's family. And what I liked about this was, 1123 00:57:25,453 --> 00:57:28,093 Speaker 16: even though that plot sounds kind of far fetched, the 1124 00:57:28,173 --> 00:57:31,213 Speaker 16: show itself is very straightforward and entertaining. It's not trying 1125 00:57:31,213 --> 00:57:34,813 Speaker 16: to do anything too clever. It's about family and relationships 1126 00:57:34,933 --> 00:57:37,853 Speaker 16: and the lies that we all tell. Marius is a 1127 00:57:37,893 --> 00:57:40,373 Speaker 16: likable rogue. You're always on his side and it's a 1128 00:57:40,413 --> 00:57:42,293 Speaker 16: lot of fun. You just have to suspend belief for 1129 00:57:42,333 --> 00:57:44,173 Speaker 16: a bit and just kind of go along for the. 1130 00:57:44,213 --> 00:57:48,493 Speaker 2: Right nice cool, that's Sneaky Pete. It's on Netflix as well, 1131 00:57:48,493 --> 00:57:50,053 Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to this one on three Now 1132 00:57:50,253 --> 00:57:51,333 Speaker 2: tell us about Game on? 1133 00:57:52,453 --> 00:57:54,413 Speaker 16: Yeah, I love this one. You might remember a TV 1134 00:57:54,493 --> 00:57:56,653 Speaker 16: series from a couple of years ago called Match Fit Yees, 1135 00:57:57,213 --> 00:57:59,773 Speaker 16: a New Zealand sports dock YOUU series that had a 1136 00:57:59,853 --> 00:58:02,493 Speaker 16: former rugby and league players come back and get fit 1137 00:58:03,053 --> 00:58:04,213 Speaker 16: and play in a tournament. 1138 00:58:04,613 --> 00:58:04,733 Speaker 5: Well. 1139 00:58:04,773 --> 00:58:07,493 Speaker 16: Game on is the netbook version of that. Basically, it 1140 00:58:07,613 --> 00:58:11,813 Speaker 16: takes several former silver Ferns like Irene Van Dyke, Aidan Wilson, 1141 00:58:11,973 --> 00:58:15,173 Speaker 16: Casey corpor Tima Patter Bailey and puts them back on 1142 00:58:15,253 --> 00:58:18,013 Speaker 16: the court to train and play in a netball tournament 1143 00:58:18,093 --> 00:58:21,413 Speaker 16: against other former internationals. And some of these women haven't 1144 00:58:21,413 --> 00:58:25,173 Speaker 16: played netball for years and so they are as competitive 1145 00:58:25,213 --> 00:58:27,773 Speaker 16: as ever and as passionate for the sport as ever, 1146 00:58:28,533 --> 00:58:30,333 Speaker 16: but they're on their forties and fifties now and they've 1147 00:58:30,373 --> 00:58:33,013 Speaker 16: got a bit of work to do. They're also teaming 1148 00:58:33,093 --> 00:58:37,053 Speaker 16: up with some a group of promising young teenage netballers 1149 00:58:37,093 --> 00:58:40,093 Speaker 16: and mentoring them through the show. So there's a really 1150 00:58:40,173 --> 00:58:42,773 Speaker 16: lovely connection there to the next generation of players that 1151 00:58:42,813 --> 00:58:45,053 Speaker 16: are coming through. And I just watched this with a 1152 00:58:45,093 --> 00:58:47,893 Speaker 16: big smile on my face. They look back at what 1153 00:58:48,053 --> 00:58:50,253 Speaker 16: it took for them to play top level sport while 1154 00:58:50,333 --> 00:58:55,213 Speaker 16: also having babies and jobs and families. It's a sort 1155 00:58:55,213 --> 00:58:57,613 Speaker 16: of a celebration of the friendships that they've made along 1156 00:58:57,653 --> 00:59:00,773 Speaker 16: the way, and now they're all back together again facing 1157 00:59:00,853 --> 00:59:04,533 Speaker 16: this new challenge. It's really inspiring and a very heart woman. 1158 00:59:04,333 --> 00:59:07,413 Speaker 2: Watching this is great. So I love match First, I 1159 00:59:07,533 --> 00:59:09,253 Speaker 2: just thought, mat sure, it was such a good show, 1160 00:59:09,333 --> 00:59:12,533 Speaker 2: and do you reckon this compares quite favorably. 1161 00:59:12,973 --> 00:59:13,653 Speaker 10: Yes, definitely. 1162 00:59:13,733 --> 00:59:17,413 Speaker 16: And I think it's their vulnerability that they're putting themselves 1163 00:59:17,493 --> 00:59:19,973 Speaker 16: back out there, you know, And they talk about how 1164 00:59:19,973 --> 00:59:21,893 Speaker 16: their mind wants them to get up in the air 1165 00:59:21,933 --> 00:59:23,453 Speaker 16: and just sit that ball, but their body is not 1166 00:59:23,533 --> 00:59:26,173 Speaker 16: quite as willing anymore. And you know, they there's a 1167 00:59:26,213 --> 00:59:28,133 Speaker 16: sort of a braveness to that about putting them back 1168 00:59:28,173 --> 00:59:30,973 Speaker 16: out in the public eye and putting their bodies on 1169 00:59:31,053 --> 00:59:31,573 Speaker 16: the line again. 1170 00:59:31,813 --> 00:59:33,493 Speaker 2: I love it. Okay, cool, that sounds like a bit 1171 00:59:33,533 --> 00:59:36,213 Speaker 2: of me.

So even if it isn't 1277 01:05:05,373 --> 01:05:08,613 Speaker 2: perfect and my hundred percent polished right now, it's only 1278 01:05:08,693 --> 01:05:10,293 Speaker 2: going to get better and better. And the more that 1279 01:05:10,373 --> 01:05:13,573 Speaker 2: people feed in information, the faster it will improve. 1280 01:05:13,733 --> 01:05:13,853 Speaker 4: Right. 1281 01:05:13,973 --> 01:05:17,213 Speaker 2: That's how these kind of that's the kind of exponential 1282 01:05:17,333 --> 01:05:20,813 Speaker 2: nature of this AI progress. It's it's kind of Yeah, 1283 01:05:20,813 --> 01:05:25,173 Speaker 2: it's remarkable and as you will no doubt have expected, Paul, 1284 01:05:25,293 --> 01:05:29,413 Speaker 2: valuations are absolutely skyrocketing for these AI companies. 1285 01:05:30,093 --> 01:05:32,813 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, because people but that the advancements are happening 1286 01:05:32,933 --> 01:05:35,493 Speaker 18: so fast, like faster than any kind of technology we've 1287 01:05:35,573 --> 01:05:38,293 Speaker 18: kind of seen, and people want to be part of it, 1288 01:05:38,413 --> 01:05:41,813 Speaker 18: I think. And so Bloomberg is reporting that the big 1289 01:05:41,933 --> 01:05:45,933 Speaker 18: open AI chat GPT rival called Anthropic, they are going 1290 01:05:46,013 --> 01:05:49,133 Speaker 18: to be doing apparently some another investment round that could 1291 01:05:49,213 --> 01:05:53,493 Speaker 18: value the company at one hundred billion US dollars. 1292 01:05:53,733 --> 01:05:56,453 Speaker 2: That's amazing that it's just absolutely ridiculous. What do you 1293 01:05:56,533 --> 01:05:58,933 Speaker 2: think the chances are maybe we should spend more time 1294 01:05:59,013 --> 01:06:00,733 Speaker 2: on this at some point. What do you think the 1295 01:06:00,893 --> 01:06:06,013 Speaker 2: chances are that some of this AI hype is never 1296 01:06:06,053 --> 01:06:08,733 Speaker 2: going to to fruition, Like, can you put a percentage 1297 01:06:08,813 --> 01:06:11,893 Speaker 2: number on it? Can you say, you know, maybe thirty 1298 01:06:11,973 --> 01:06:14,533 Speaker 2: percent of the hype is gonna live up to you know, 1299 01:06:14,693 --> 01:06:17,173 Speaker 2: live up to expectations in the next decade or so. 1300 01:06:18,133 --> 01:06:21,853 Speaker 18: Do you know, I mean it being completely autonomous and 1301 01:06:21,973 --> 01:06:25,893 Speaker 18: taking a whole bunch of jobs. Maybe not, But there's 1302 01:06:25,933 --> 01:06:28,373 Speaker 18: actually a pretty good percentage, right. I mean, I've talked 1303 01:06:28,413 --> 01:06:30,093 Speaker 18: about some of the technology that we've seen kind of 1304 01:06:30,133 --> 01:06:32,533 Speaker 18: go over the years, Like three DTV was one that 1305 01:06:32,613 --> 01:06:35,213 Speaker 18: I just never understood and couldn't understand why peoplere getting 1306 01:06:35,213 --> 01:06:37,533 Speaker 18: excited about that sort of thing, Like that's never gonna happen. 1307 01:06:37,893 --> 01:06:40,253 Speaker 18: And then like the NFT whole thing that was happening. 1308 01:06:40,293 --> 01:06:42,573 Speaker 18: I was, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is just the symptom 1309 01:06:42,613 --> 01:06:44,173 Speaker 18: of an economy trying to work out what to do 1310 01:06:44,293 --> 01:06:48,293 Speaker 18: with some interesting technology. But this does feel different because, 1311 01:06:48,533 --> 01:06:51,013 Speaker 18: and I say it feels different because we're not that 1312 01:06:51,173 --> 01:06:53,413 Speaker 18: far away. Like you can take a photo, like all 1313 01:06:53,453 --> 01:06:56,373 Speaker 18: of those things I mentioned about the recipes and doing 1314 01:06:56,413 --> 01:06:57,173 Speaker 18: the meal plan. 1315 01:06:57,493 --> 01:06:58,733 Speaker 2: Is all possible today. 1316 01:06:58,893 --> 01:07:00,453 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's not like science fiction. 1317 01:07:00,733 --> 01:07:01,333 Speaker 2: That's real. 1318 01:07:01,453 --> 01:07:03,253 Speaker 18: It can you can take a photo and it can 1319 01:07:03,373 --> 01:07:06,573 Speaker 18: interpret what the items are from your fridge and put 1320 01:07:06,613 --> 01:07:09,173 Speaker 18: a list. It can take that list and create recipes. 1321 01:07:09,613 --> 01:07:09,773 Speaker 5: You know. 1322 01:07:09,893 --> 01:07:12,093 Speaker 18: The bit that it's now doing with the whole browser 1323 01:07:12,133 --> 01:07:14,493 Speaker 18: piece is really cool. Now, how accurate that is. We're 1324 01:07:14,493 --> 01:07:16,053 Speaker 18: going to have to put it through its paces. But 1325 01:07:16,573 --> 01:07:19,533 Speaker 18: that's like the last link in the chain. Yeah, So 1326 01:07:20,453 --> 01:07:22,853 Speaker 18: if you imagine that's just like the photo of your fridge, 1327 01:07:23,733 --> 01:07:25,813 Speaker 18: think about all the things you do each day at work, 1328 01:07:26,413 --> 01:07:29,293 Speaker 18: think about all the mundane tasks that go on. 1329 01:07:30,373 --> 01:07:31,293 Speaker 5: It's coming for those. 1330 01:07:31,453 --> 01:07:34,413 Speaker 18: Yeah, and that's where I think it's that's where I 1331 01:07:34,453 --> 01:07:36,493 Speaker 18: think that maybe the hype is real. 1332 01:07:36,653 --> 01:07:37,973 Speaker 2: What do they call it Amara's Law? 1333 01:07:38,253 --> 01:07:38,413 Speaker 6: Right? 1334 01:07:39,173 --> 01:07:42,253 Speaker 2: Amara's Law concerns the effects of technology and says that 1335 01:07:42,333 --> 01:07:46,773 Speaker 2: we tend to overestimate, like the effect of technology or 1336 01:07:46,813 --> 01:07:49,013 Speaker 2: the impacts of technology in the short term, but then 1337 01:07:49,173 --> 01:07:52,733 Speaker 2: underestimate in the long term. So yeah, even if just 1338 01:07:53,253 --> 01:07:56,773 Speaker 2: a sliver of the AI hype kind of holds true 1339 01:07:57,213 --> 01:07:59,333 Speaker 2: over the long term, we're in for some profound changes. 1340 01:07:59,333 --> 01:08:02,933 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Paul. Paul Stenhouse is our text bit 1341 01:08:03,013 --> 01:08:06,013 Speaker 2: with us this morning, eighteen to eleven. The Doctor's in 1342 01:08:06,173 --> 01:08:10,453 Speaker 2: Talk we Gov next on Newstalk's EDB No better way. 1343 01:08:10,293 --> 01:08:13,333 Speaker 1: To kick off your weekend than with Jack, Saturday Mornings 1344 01:08:13,373 --> 01:08:16,293 Speaker 1: with Jacktay and bfew it dot co dot nz for 1345 01:08:16,413 --> 01:08:19,053 Speaker 1: high Quality Supplements used talks MB Well. 1346 01:08:19,093 --> 01:08:21,413 Speaker 2: If AI is drawing a lot of hype, then the 1347 01:08:21,493 --> 01:08:23,773 Speaker 2: new weight loss medications that have taken the world by 1348 01:08:23,893 --> 01:08:26,093 Speaker 2: storm over the last couple of years must be up 1349 01:08:26,173 --> 01:08:29,093 Speaker 2: there on a pretty similar level. Now, one of them, 1350 01:08:29,253 --> 01:08:32,493 Speaker 2: we govy is available in New Zealand, so you've got 1351 01:08:32,573 --> 01:08:36,053 Speaker 2: to get a prescription and it's not subsidized at the stage. 1352 01:08:36,093 --> 01:08:38,693 Speaker 2: But doctor Brian Betty is here with the details this morning. 1353 01:08:38,773 --> 01:08:39,293 Speaker 2: Kild to Brian. 1354 01:08:39,933 --> 01:08:41,293 Speaker 14: Oh, Jack, I see here. 1355 01:08:41,373 --> 01:08:43,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, nice to chat with you as always. So what's we. 1356 01:08:43,773 --> 01:08:47,933 Speaker 14: Gov look So look at a once weekly injection for 1357 01:08:48,013 --> 01:08:51,653 Speaker 14: weight loss and it's it's known as a GP one agonist. 1358 01:08:51,733 --> 01:08:52,893 Speaker 14: That's its its title. 1359 01:08:53,493 --> 01:08:53,613 Speaker 6: Now. 1360 01:08:53,733 --> 01:08:56,253 Speaker 14: It actually mimics a hormone we have naturally in the 1361 01:08:56,333 --> 01:09:00,133 Speaker 14: gut and this hormone makes us feel full, reduces our 1362 01:09:00,213 --> 01:09:04,693 Speaker 14: desire to eat, and also controls blood sugars in the blood. Now, 1363 01:09:04,733 --> 01:09:07,773 Speaker 14: it was originally this medication called semiglue tide, that's what 1364 01:09:07,893 --> 01:09:12,133 Speaker 14: is called its generic name, was developed originally for diabetes, 1365 01:09:12,653 --> 01:09:15,093 Speaker 14: but in higher doses was found it had this side 1366 01:09:15,133 --> 01:09:18,093 Speaker 14: effect allowing you to lose weight, and especially at these 1367 01:09:18,173 --> 01:09:21,973 Speaker 14: higher doses. So we've had this GP one agness for 1368 01:09:22,053 --> 01:09:25,093 Speaker 14: diabetes in this country for several years now under trade 1369 01:09:25,173 --> 01:09:27,533 Speaker 14: name Trillicity and the Tosa, and people may be familiar 1370 01:09:27,573 --> 01:09:30,053 Speaker 14: with that. But there was an interesting thing that happened 1371 01:09:30,053 --> 01:09:33,133 Speaker 14: in the United States that when this was released as 1372 01:09:33,173 --> 01:09:36,053 Speaker 14: a medication called a zenpic, which people may be familiar with. 1373 01:09:36,653 --> 01:09:39,413 Speaker 14: It was essentially hy go be at a lower dosage 1374 01:09:39,453 --> 01:09:42,293 Speaker 14: and it was used for diabetes. However, people realized it 1375 01:09:42,373 --> 01:09:44,613 Speaker 14: made them lose weight, so there was a huge amount 1376 01:09:44,733 --> 01:09:47,813 Speaker 14: of off label use that was prescribed. That was people 1377 01:09:47,893 --> 01:09:50,853 Speaker 14: started prescribing it for weight loss. Now, interesting enough, there 1378 01:09:50,933 --> 01:09:53,253 Speaker 14: was suddenly a global shortage because so much of the 1379 01:09:53,333 --> 01:09:56,093 Speaker 14: stuff has been used, and we've been coping with that 1380 01:09:56,293 --> 01:09:58,773 Speaker 14: for our diabetes medication for the about the last eighteen 1381 01:09:58,813 --> 01:10:03,173 Speaker 14: months two years. However, production worldwide has now lifted, so 1382 01:10:03,293 --> 01:10:06,173 Speaker 14: there's now not a shortage and this medication would go, 1383 01:10:06,493 --> 01:10:09,413 Speaker 14: which is a diabetes medication at a higher dose, is 1384 01:10:09,493 --> 01:10:10,733 Speaker 14: now available in New Zealand. 1385 01:10:10,853 --> 01:10:13,653 Speaker 2: So to be totally clear, we gov is the same 1386 01:10:13,733 --> 01:10:15,573 Speaker 2: as tho zmpic, but just at a higher dose. 1387 01:10:16,293 --> 01:10:18,973 Speaker 14: Yeah, it's the same medication as those zem pic except 1388 01:10:19,093 --> 01:10:21,773 Speaker 14: at a higher dose. So so that that's a differential. 1389 01:10:21,893 --> 01:10:24,893 Speaker 14: So the lower dose use for diabetes, higher dose once 1390 01:10:24,933 --> 01:10:26,413 Speaker 14: a week used for weight loss. 1391 01:10:26,693 --> 01:10:30,093 Speaker 2: Ah okay, and so you can get it now for 1392 01:10:30,373 --> 01:10:32,573 Speaker 2: weight loss as well as for diabetes. 1393 01:10:32,613 --> 01:10:35,773 Speaker 14: In museum, well you know that two things. We use 1394 01:10:35,773 --> 01:10:38,453 Speaker 14: a medication called Trillicity for weight loss, and again it's 1395 01:10:38,493 --> 01:10:40,453 Speaker 14: this GP one agaist. It's at a lower dose. We 1396 01:10:40,613 --> 01:10:42,973 Speaker 14: use that specifically for weight loss, but we're GOV is 1397 01:10:43,173 --> 01:10:46,453 Speaker 14: only used specifically for diabetes. Sorry, we're GOV is only 1398 01:10:46,533 --> 01:10:47,933 Speaker 14: used for weight loss, not diabetes. 1399 01:10:48,013 --> 01:10:50,013 Speaker 2: So we're GOV. You have a higher dose, use it 1400 01:10:50,093 --> 01:10:53,813 Speaker 2: once a week. Trillicity is for diabetes, and you use 1401 01:10:53,893 --> 01:10:55,493 Speaker 2: that or more regularly lower dose. 1402 01:10:55,653 --> 01:10:58,373 Speaker 14: And that that's also what we call a GP one agonist, right, 1403 01:10:58,533 --> 01:11:00,653 Speaker 14: that's okay, we'll be familiar with. So so yeah, so 1404 01:11:00,813 --> 01:11:02,053 Speaker 14: higher dose, that's the key. 1405 01:11:01,933 --> 01:11:03,973 Speaker 2: Thing and to the and to to how it works. 1406 01:11:04,093 --> 01:11:06,853 Speaker 2: So it obviously kind of stops you create things. It 1407 01:11:06,973 --> 01:11:12,453 Speaker 2: has that impact, but it also has the physiological impact 1408 01:11:12,613 --> 01:11:14,533 Speaker 2: of controlling sugars in the blood. 1409 01:11:14,933 --> 01:11:16,733 Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. 1410 01:11:17,013 --> 01:11:19,613 Speaker 2: So if we if we would only have one of those, 1411 01:11:20,733 --> 01:11:23,613 Speaker 2: it would still have some impact, but presumably, but because 1412 01:11:23,613 --> 01:11:26,693 Speaker 2: it kind of has that two tiered approach, it's particularly effective. 1413 01:11:27,573 --> 01:11:29,853 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. So you do get a 1414 01:11:29,893 --> 01:11:32,933 Speaker 14: little bit of weight loss and those lower dose medications, However, 1415 01:11:32,973 --> 01:11:34,973 Speaker 14: when you use this higher dose, you tend to get 1416 01:11:35,013 --> 01:11:37,613 Speaker 14: a larger weight loss and actually at the higher dose 1417 01:11:37,653 --> 01:11:41,253 Speaker 14: of the diabetes affick wears off. So so it's specifically 1418 01:11:41,333 --> 01:11:43,013 Speaker 14: at this dosage used for weight loss. 1419 01:11:43,333 --> 01:11:47,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Okay, all right, So is if we're 1420 01:11:48,093 --> 01:11:50,653 Speaker 2: focus on the obesity side of things, to what extent 1421 01:11:51,013 --> 01:11:54,013 Speaker 2: is obesity a problem in New Zealand and why medication 1422 01:11:54,133 --> 01:11:58,093 Speaker 2: shouldn't we just you know, eat better, move more, you know, 1423 01:11:58,213 --> 01:12:01,133 Speaker 2: consider some of the environmental impacts, some of the economic impacts. 1424 01:12:01,173 --> 01:12:05,573 Speaker 14: Maybe, yeah, yeah, So look to your first question. Yes, 1425 01:12:05,653 --> 01:12:07,613 Speaker 14: we do have a the New Zealand with ab CD. 1426 01:12:08,293 --> 01:12:10,853 Speaker 14: It is a major health issue. We estimate about thirty 1427 01:12:10,893 --> 01:12:13,133 Speaker 14: percent of the population or a third of the population 1428 01:12:14,093 --> 01:12:16,693 Speaker 14: could be classified as a beese or overweight and that 1429 01:12:16,853 --> 01:12:19,253 Speaker 14: is a major cost to the economy. It costs about 1430 01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:21,853 Speaker 14: two billion dollars a year and associated costs such as 1431 01:12:21,933 --> 01:12:26,613 Speaker 14: cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which are often associated with being overweight, 1432 01:12:26,733 --> 01:12:28,693 Speaker 14: so it is a big, big issue in New Zealand. 1433 01:12:29,453 --> 01:12:34,493 Speaker 14: Now you're right, good diet exercise is critically important in 1434 01:12:34,573 --> 01:12:37,533 Speaker 14: weight loss and for overall health, so there's no doubt 1435 01:12:37,573 --> 01:12:41,013 Speaker 14: about it. However, once your BMI gets up above that 1436 01:12:41,173 --> 01:12:44,413 Speaker 14: thirty mark, it can often be very very hard to 1437 01:12:44,493 --> 01:12:49,173 Speaker 14: lose weight despite lifestyle, and that's for a number of reasons. 1438 01:12:49,213 --> 01:12:53,653 Speaker 14: It's due to genetics, metabolism. Everyone's slightly different with us 1439 01:12:53,693 --> 01:12:55,933 Speaker 14: and for anyone who's tried to lose weight, they'll know 1440 01:12:55,973 --> 01:12:57,813 Speaker 14: what I'm talking about that it can be very very 1441 01:12:58,333 --> 01:13:01,613 Speaker 14: difficult the way the body body is made up, or 1442 01:13:01,733 --> 01:13:06,333 Speaker 14: individual's metabolism is made So what's happened is these medicaid 1443 01:13:06,973 --> 01:13:09,773 Speaker 14: become a sort of I suppose an adjunct something in 1444 01:13:09,813 --> 01:13:13,693 Speaker 14: the toolbox which can can be beneficial for some people 1445 01:13:13,773 --> 01:13:15,573 Speaker 14: to help them lose weight. Not all people, but some 1446 01:13:15,693 --> 01:13:17,973 Speaker 14: people it can be very very useful. And that's what's 1447 01:13:17,973 --> 01:13:19,453 Speaker 14: sort of happened over the last few years. 1448 01:13:19,573 --> 01:13:22,133 Speaker 2: So the once weekly injection, are they side effects? 1449 01:13:23,013 --> 01:13:23,213 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1450 01:13:23,293 --> 01:13:26,093 Speaker 14: No, there is is it like anything, there is side effects. 1451 01:13:26,693 --> 01:13:28,973 Speaker 14: So once we have the injection, you were just the 1452 01:13:29,053 --> 01:13:31,813 Speaker 14: dose every month, so you start to lower dose and 1453 01:13:31,973 --> 01:13:34,573 Speaker 14: ty trate the dose up every month. Now, the common 1454 01:13:34,613 --> 01:13:36,813 Speaker 14: side effects we find a gastric side effect, so that's 1455 01:13:36,853 --> 01:13:40,653 Speaker 14: things like nausea, bloating, loose bowel motions, and verbing. They 1456 01:13:40,693 --> 01:13:43,093 Speaker 14: tend to be relatively minor and they can be managed 1457 01:13:43,133 --> 01:13:46,973 Speaker 14: by adjusting diet generally. Now, there are some, as always, 1458 01:13:47,013 --> 01:13:50,173 Speaker 14: there are some more serious side effects, and pancreous inflammation 1459 01:13:50,293 --> 01:13:54,093 Speaker 14: can be one. Vowel obstruction it can actually be another. 1460 01:13:54,493 --> 01:13:56,453 Speaker 14: And actually a fast heart rate is another one that's 1461 01:13:56,493 --> 01:14:00,733 Speaker 14: sometimes seen. Now again those are very rare, especially the 1462 01:14:00,773 --> 01:14:03,813 Speaker 14: pancreaus inflammation of owel obstruction, so we shouldn't get too 1463 01:14:03,893 --> 01:14:05,973 Speaker 14: concerned about it, but we need to be aware of them. 1464 01:14:06,493 --> 01:14:10,413 Speaker 14: Most people can take the medication with very few issues. 1465 01:14:10,173 --> 01:14:11,333 Speaker 3: So it's not fine. 1466 01:14:11,533 --> 01:14:13,933 Speaker 2: Right, So it's not funded by fimat costs about five 1467 01:14:14,013 --> 01:14:15,613 Speaker 2: hundred bucks a year. How long do you take it for? 1468 01:14:17,013 --> 01:14:22,933 Speaker 14: Yeah, look so yeah, yeah, six thousand years. So no, 1469 01:14:23,053 --> 01:14:26,373 Speaker 14: they're not funded by expensive Yeah, it is expensive medication, 1470 01:14:26,493 --> 01:14:29,653 Speaker 14: so it's a real consideration. Look, unfortunately, a lot of 1471 01:14:29,693 --> 01:14:32,813 Speaker 14: the studies now show that once if you do lose weight, 1472 01:14:33,013 --> 01:14:36,053 Speaker 14: if you stop the medication, then within two years your 1473 01:14:36,093 --> 01:14:38,253 Speaker 14: weight tends to come back. On the body is very 1474 01:14:38,333 --> 01:14:40,533 Speaker 14: good at putting the weight back on and storing energy. 1475 01:14:40,933 --> 01:14:43,533 Speaker 14: It's pre programmed to do that, so that that's a 1476 01:14:43,693 --> 01:14:46,293 Speaker 14: real issue. Regardless of how we lose weight, that tends 1477 01:14:46,333 --> 01:14:48,933 Speaker 14: to be a problem. So there has been a shift 1478 01:14:49,013 --> 01:14:51,293 Speaker 14: to thinking over the last few years that, look, these 1479 01:14:51,413 --> 01:14:56,253 Speaker 14: medications may be needed to use long term. That that 1480 01:14:56,613 --> 01:14:59,733 Speaker 14: sort of like our diabetes medications or our blood pressure medications. 1481 01:14:59,773 --> 01:15:02,613 Speaker 14: That obesity medications may be a long term chronic care 1482 01:15:02,693 --> 01:15:05,933 Speaker 14: medication that we have to use. And there certainly is 1483 01:15:05,933 --> 01:15:09,093 Speaker 14: starting to shift and thinking too that way. However, it 1484 01:15:09,253 --> 01:15:12,453 Speaker 14: is safe to use long term, So that's the issue 1485 01:15:12,493 --> 01:15:14,853 Speaker 14: that let's see, So there's certainly a safe medication for 1486 01:15:14,933 --> 01:15:15,573 Speaker 14: long term use. 1487 01:15:15,733 --> 01:15:18,133 Speaker 2: Thanks for your time, Brian, We really appreciate another'd be 1488 01:15:18,173 --> 01:15:20,213 Speaker 2: so much interested in that.

And so 1513 01:16:37,253 --> 01:16:40,453 Speaker 19: if it's you know, if if a sheep dies, you know, 1514 01:16:41,333 --> 01:16:44,013 Speaker 19: if you like, the megots will do the inside, et cetera, 1515 01:16:44,053 --> 01:16:47,333 Speaker 19: et cetera. But how do you get the wall under control? Well, 1516 01:16:47,413 --> 01:16:51,173 Speaker 19: you just call one one one and and the carpet 1517 01:16:51,173 --> 01:16:52,973 Speaker 19: whetles come and do that for you, you know what 1518 01:16:53,013 --> 01:16:53,293 Speaker 19: I mean? 1519 01:16:54,013 --> 01:16:56,453 Speaker 5: And do you have roaches in your. 1520 01:16:58,093 --> 01:16:58,293 Speaker 2: Yes? 1521 01:16:58,893 --> 01:17:02,493 Speaker 19: Excellent, Well you must have spilt the spaghetti blinn age 1522 01:17:02,533 --> 01:17:07,093 Speaker 19: behind the stove, because all they do is cleaning it 1523 01:17:07,293 --> 01:17:07,573 Speaker 19: up for. 1524 01:17:07,693 --> 01:17:10,933 Speaker 5: You, and you know what, they do it for free? 1525 01:17:11,693 --> 01:17:14,613 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there are some downsides. I don't know that. 1526 01:17:14,733 --> 01:17:17,733 Speaker 2: Missus Tame is particularly delighted whenever she sees a large 1527 01:17:17,813 --> 01:17:19,533 Speaker 2: roach scurrying across the kitchen. 1528 01:17:21,053 --> 01:17:22,653 Speaker 19: Yeah, but I mean, you know, you can stand on 1529 01:17:22,773 --> 01:17:23,373 Speaker 19: it if you want. 1530 01:17:23,413 --> 01:17:28,093 Speaker 5: It's not a big where. 1531 01:17:28,173 --> 01:17:30,333 Speaker 19: Julie I had a lovely one. Because there's a thing 1532 01:17:30,413 --> 01:17:33,373 Speaker 19: called a booklouse, a book lie in pural. They make 1533 01:17:33,413 --> 01:17:35,773 Speaker 19: a ticking sound. They're only a millimeter in size, and 1534 01:17:35,853 --> 01:17:39,773 Speaker 19: you'll find them literally behind your television screen, but anywhere 1535 01:17:39,813 --> 01:17:42,933 Speaker 19: inside and they make a ticking noise. But the cold 1536 01:17:42,973 --> 01:17:45,453 Speaker 19: thing is what they do in those particular places where 1537 01:17:45,493 --> 01:17:51,493 Speaker 19: they occurs. They actually eat the microscopic moles inside your radio, 1538 01:17:51,693 --> 01:17:54,813 Speaker 19: your television and all these other places, and they clean 1539 01:17:54,853 --> 01:17:59,093 Speaker 19: it up for you. It's unbelievable. Yeah, tiger slugs, you know, 1540 01:17:59,653 --> 01:18:02,413 Speaker 19: slucks go to your cat bowl. They come in and 1541 01:18:02,533 --> 01:18:05,173 Speaker 19: they slip up all the milk and that sort of stuff. 1542 01:18:05,533 --> 01:18:08,013 Speaker 19: And then they're Indian meal mark. They go into your 1543 01:18:08,093 --> 01:18:11,693 Speaker 19: pantry because they actually clean up all the mold and 1544 01:18:11,853 --> 01:18:14,933 Speaker 19: stuff there as well, and I think good on them. 1545 01:18:15,733 --> 01:18:18,133 Speaker 2: See you're always doing this. I'm not going to say 1546 01:18:18,173 --> 01:18:20,653 Speaker 2: you're a contrarian, Rude. I would never suggest that for 1547 01:18:20,733 --> 01:18:23,053 Speaker 2: a moment.

I've seen it once or say it again. 1560 01:19:21,213 --> 01:19:27,373 Speaker 2: Entertainment and the modern world of streaming has totally changed 1561 01:19:28,013 --> 01:19:31,453 Speaker 2: the way that millions of people are consuming sport around 1562 01:19:31,453 --> 01:19:33,613 Speaker 2: the world, and there are big obvious examples, right, So 1563 01:19:34,453 --> 01:19:36,773 Speaker 2: if One Drive to Survive, I think that's kind of 1564 01:19:36,813 --> 01:19:40,493 Speaker 2: that stands ahead, that's kind of the paragon of entertainment 1565 01:19:40,693 --> 01:19:46,533 Speaker 2: sports TV that has just driven an incredible surge in 1566 01:19:46,973 --> 01:19:49,973 Speaker 2: IF one fandom and support over the last few years. 1567 01:19:50,893 --> 01:19:53,853 Speaker 2: For me, the Tour de France has become all the 1568 01:19:53,973 --> 01:19:56,493 Speaker 2: more entertaining because of Tour de France Unchained, which is 1569 01:19:56,653 --> 01:19:59,573 Speaker 2: very much like the if One Drive to Survive. And 1570 01:19:59,693 --> 01:20:02,733 Speaker 2: you would have to say that Welcome to Wrexham the 1571 01:20:02,893 --> 01:20:06,373 Speaker 2: TV show is probably like up there in either second 1572 01:20:06,533 --> 01:20:08,853 Speaker 2: or third place. I reckon as one of the shows 1573 01:20:08,893 --> 01:20:11,853 Speaker 2: that has driven huge support of a sport or of 1574 01:20:11,933 --> 01:20:14,293 Speaker 2: a team. I mean, you know, would any of us 1575 01:20:14,413 --> 01:20:18,613 Speaker 2: honestly know the team Wrexham FC if not for Welcome 1576 01:20:18,693 --> 01:20:21,253 Speaker 2: to Rexham the TV show. If you're not familiar with 1577 01:20:21,333 --> 01:20:23,933 Speaker 2: the story, the show was bought a few years ago 1578 01:20:24,213 --> 01:20:28,253 Speaker 2: by Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds and his mate and they 1579 01:20:28,373 --> 01:20:32,693 Speaker 2: have what Rob is, Rob mcallaney. I think Rob mclallaney 1580 01:20:32,973 --> 01:20:35,813 Speaker 2: mcalleney is that as Ryan reynolds mate. Anyway, the team 1581 01:20:35,973 --> 01:20:39,853 Speaker 2: was languishing in like maybe the fourth or fifth division 1582 01:20:40,293 --> 01:20:44,213 Speaker 2: of British football, like just well, well, well, the English 1583 01:20:44,213 --> 01:20:49,053 Speaker 2: Football's you know, sort of boondocks. It was effectively Sunday League. 1584 01:20:50,053 --> 01:20:53,093 Speaker 2: But they have made a TV show around supporting the 1585 01:20:53,173 --> 01:20:56,653 Speaker 2: team and it's coincided with incredible success. So I don't 1586 01:20:56,653 --> 01:20:59,853 Speaker 2: know if it's down to the international attention, if it's 1587 01:20:59,893 --> 01:21:01,813 Speaker 2: down to the money that the new owners have put 1588 01:21:01,853 --> 01:21:05,893 Speaker 2: into the club. But they've now secured three consecutive promotions 1589 01:21:06,533 --> 01:21:09,653 Speaker 2: in the National League through to the National League, or 1590 01:21:09,693 --> 01:21:11,253 Speaker 2: from the National League through to the Championship. 1591 01:21:11,373 --> 01:21:11,973 Speaker 3: I think that's right. 1592 01:21:12,653 --> 01:21:16,253 Speaker 2: So three consecutive promotions, which means that they're now in 1593 01:21:16,333 --> 01:21:20,413 Speaker 2: the Championship, which is England's English Football's second tier. And 1594 01:21:20,453 --> 01:21:24,773 Speaker 2: they've announced this morning that they've signed Kiwi defender Libby Cacacci, 1595 01:21:24,893 --> 01:21:28,093 Speaker 2: which is such good news. We'll Quei football. Libby Kiccacchi 1596 01:21:28,213 --> 01:21:30,773 Speaker 2: is such amazing news.

I just I tried to do 1620 01:22:41,373 --> 01:22:43,813 Speaker 21: you go, Yeah, No, I was just every day I 1621 01:22:43,893 --> 01:22:45,853 Speaker 21: try to watch that two hour, the last two hours 1622 01:22:46,213 --> 01:22:48,973 Speaker 21: they had and Tuddy pagotcha. 1623 01:22:49,133 --> 01:22:52,093 Speaker 5: It's like, Oh, it's just everything that you could want. 1624 01:22:52,173 --> 01:22:55,493 Speaker 2: Really, it's so dramatic. Yeah, the thing is so the 1625 01:22:55,613 --> 01:22:57,493 Speaker 2: way the tour works, and I promise that we're not 1626 01:22:57,533 --> 01:22:59,093 Speaker 2: going to go on too long about this, but the 1627 01:22:59,173 --> 01:23:00,893 Speaker 2: way that it works is for the first kind of 1628 01:23:00,973 --> 01:23:03,333 Speaker 2: week and a half or so, they have these stages 1629 01:23:03,373 --> 01:23:05,653 Speaker 2: that are one hundred and sixty hundred and seventy k's 1630 01:23:05,693 --> 01:23:08,973 Speaker 2: long and kind of sprint stages. They call them sprint stages, 1631 01:23:08,973 --> 01:23:10,693 Speaker 2: although for me, one hundred and sixty k's is not 1632 01:23:10,733 --> 01:23:13,453 Speaker 2: a sprint anyway, But basically they call them sprint stages 1633 01:23:13,493 --> 01:23:16,893 Speaker 2: because they're relatively flat, and so in the last few 1634 01:23:16,973 --> 01:23:19,773 Speaker 2: k's of the race they have the big, powerful sprinters 1635 01:23:19,813 --> 01:23:21,293 Speaker 2: who all sprint it out and you have the kind 1636 01:23:21,333 --> 01:23:24,613 Speaker 2: of photo finish on the line. But the way that 1637 01:23:24,773 --> 01:23:27,493 Speaker 2: the Tour de France is generally decided is when they 1638 01:23:27,573 --> 01:23:29,493 Speaker 2: get into the mountain. So when they get into the 1639 01:23:29,533 --> 01:23:32,173 Speaker 2: Pyrenees or they get into the Alps, and all of 1640 01:23:32,213 --> 01:23:34,893 Speaker 2: a sudden, one by one, the cyclists and those big 1641 01:23:35,013 --> 01:23:38,413 Speaker 2: pelotons just fall away and fall away and fall away 1642 01:23:38,693 --> 01:23:41,253 Speaker 2: and it comes down to man on man, just the 1643 01:23:41,333 --> 01:23:43,653 Speaker 2: best cyclist in the world, who's got the legs, who's 1644 01:23:43,653 --> 01:23:46,213 Speaker 2: got the lungs, who can perform at altitudes and there's 1645 01:23:46,253 --> 01:23:48,533 Speaker 2: no hiding. Like you've got all the fans on the 1646 01:23:48,573 --> 01:23:51,053 Speaker 2: side of the road and you have these these incredible 1647 01:23:51,133 --> 01:23:54,773 Speaker 2: athletes just one by one falling off to the side. 1648 01:23:54,893 --> 01:23:56,533 Speaker 2: It's so so good to see. 1649 01:23:56,573 --> 01:23:59,893 Speaker 21: It's three thousand k's or something, isn't it's a scene. 1650 01:24:00,613 --> 01:24:04,653 Speaker 2: It's just h yeah. Yeah, I don't see how it's fun. 1651 01:24:05,093 --> 01:24:07,453 Speaker 5: Like, no, I don't know. It's a challenge. 1652 01:24:07,493 --> 01:24:09,813 Speaker 21: I can see the challenge, but gosh, yeah, fun doesn't 1653 01:24:09,853 --> 01:24:11,173 Speaker 21: really enter into the vocal. 1654 01:24:11,253 --> 01:24:14,893 Speaker 2: I mean the mental The mental component must be so much, 1655 01:24:15,213 --> 01:24:17,253 Speaker 2: it must be amazing, you know, just to get up 1656 01:24:17,253 --> 01:24:19,333 Speaker 2: and do a day after that. Anyway, I'm glad that 1657 01:24:19,413 --> 01:24:22,693 Speaker 2: you're a fan as well, because I'm sitting there absolutely. 1658 01:24:23,013 --> 01:24:23,173 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1659 01:24:23,373 --> 01:24:26,453 Speaker 2: Hey, today, you thought you would shine the light on 1660 01:24:26,573 --> 01:24:30,253 Speaker 2: a psychological condition that I'm going to hazard a guess 1661 01:24:30,333 --> 01:24:32,853 Speaker 2: and say that almost none of us have ever heard of. 1662 01:24:33,133 --> 01:24:34,973 Speaker 2: It would be worth a fair amount on a triple 1663 01:24:35,013 --> 01:24:37,893 Speaker 2: word score. Prosopagnosia, Is that right? 1664 01:24:38,373 --> 01:24:40,053 Speaker 21: Proto pagnosia. 1665 01:24:40,133 --> 01:24:42,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, as face blindness. 1666 01:24:42,653 --> 01:24:47,053 Speaker 21: Face blindness, So imagine that you that you arranged to 1667 01:24:47,173 --> 01:24:50,733 Speaker 21: meet somebody and you arrive there and there's a whole 1668 01:24:50,813 --> 01:24:54,093 Speaker 21: bunch of people and you go, I don't know the 1669 01:24:54,173 --> 01:24:56,893 Speaker 21: person that i'm and they're familiar to you, they're a friend, 1670 01:24:56,933 --> 01:24:59,573 Speaker 21: they're not just a stranger, and you just can't pick 1671 01:24:59,613 --> 01:25:01,933 Speaker 21: out their face from all the faces around you. And 1672 01:25:02,053 --> 01:25:06,173 Speaker 21: that's that's prosopagnosia. So that's the that it comes from 1673 01:25:06,213 --> 01:25:09,613 Speaker 21: the Greek term for face and not knowing, So it 1674 01:25:09,773 --> 01:25:10,213 Speaker 21: means that. 1675 01:25:10,373 --> 01:25:12,533 Speaker 5: You lose the ability. 1676 01:25:12,853 --> 01:25:15,093 Speaker 21: Sometimes you lose it after like a brain injury or 1677 01:25:15,133 --> 01:25:17,253 Speaker 21: something like that, or a stroke, or there are some 1678 01:25:17,373 --> 01:25:19,013 Speaker 21: people that are born with it, but you don't have 1679 01:25:19,133 --> 01:25:24,573 Speaker 21: the ability to recognize faces, so you can't tell one 1680 01:25:24,653 --> 01:25:27,413 Speaker 21: person from another by looking at their face. And what 1681 01:25:27,613 --> 01:25:32,173 Speaker 21: a debilitating condition that is, because you know, it's just 1682 01:25:33,373 --> 01:25:37,253 Speaker 21: recognizing faces is so obviously so key to our social relationship. 1683 01:25:37,373 --> 01:25:40,213 Speaker 5: So if you don't have it, it makes life mighty 1684 01:25:40,333 --> 01:25:41,093 Speaker 5: mighty hard for you. 1685 01:25:41,293 --> 01:25:46,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds sounds kind of remarkable, and the way 1686 01:25:46,573 --> 01:25:49,573 Speaker 2: face blindness sounds extreme, so not but not only is 1687 01:25:49,613 --> 01:25:52,893 Speaker 2: it that you can't necessarily recognize people's faces, really quickly. 1688 01:25:53,573 --> 01:25:58,013 Speaker 2: But you also can't recognize expressions, and of course so 1689 01:25:58,213 --> 01:25:59,973 Speaker 2: much of communication is nonverbal. A. 1690 01:26:00,693 --> 01:26:04,853 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, so you can't. You you're just unable. And 1691 01:26:05,213 --> 01:26:06,693 Speaker 5: it seems to be that. 1692 01:26:08,253 --> 01:26:12,533 Speaker 21: People that have protopagnosia they can they can see the 1693 01:26:12,653 --> 01:26:15,453 Speaker 21: individual parts of the face, so not like they can't 1694 01:26:15,493 --> 01:26:17,973 Speaker 21: see they can see your eyes and your mouth and 1695 01:26:18,013 --> 01:26:21,013 Speaker 21: your nose, et cetera. But it's putting all those together 1696 01:26:21,213 --> 01:26:24,893 Speaker 21: into in your head into one sort of overall picture, 1697 01:26:24,973 --> 01:26:29,213 Speaker 21: and that that seems to be where the problem lies. 1698 01:26:29,373 --> 01:26:32,653 Speaker 21: And some listeners I'm sure will be familiar with the 1699 01:26:32,733 --> 01:26:36,413 Speaker 21: name Oliver Sax, who's you know, face neurologist, and he 1700 01:26:37,013 --> 01:26:41,053 Speaker 21: had face blindness or prosopagnosia, and and writes really nicely 1701 01:26:41,133 --> 01:26:45,013 Speaker 21: about getting into a lift and having to apologize to 1702 01:26:45,093 --> 01:26:47,853 Speaker 21: the person that he nearly stepped on and then realized 1703 01:26:47,893 --> 01:26:50,253 Speaker 21: it was actually himself in the mirror that he was 1704 01:26:50,293 --> 01:26:53,613 Speaker 21: talking to, but he couldn't recognize his own face, let 1705 01:26:53,693 --> 01:26:56,813 Speaker 21: alone anybody else's face, so he had sort of apologized 1706 01:26:56,853 --> 01:26:59,653 Speaker 21: to the stranger who was who was in there, but 1707 01:26:59,853 --> 01:27:01,213 Speaker 21: but no, it was in fact him. 1708 01:27:01,573 --> 01:27:05,413 Speaker 2: So it's not like just having a bad memory for 1709 01:27:05,693 --> 01:27:08,813 Speaker 2: names or faces. Or anything like that. This is quite distinct. 1710 01:27:08,853 --> 01:27:11,453 Speaker 2: I think the way you described it about like you 1711 01:27:11,573 --> 01:27:13,893 Speaker 2: can see the individual eyes, you can see the nails, 1712 01:27:13,933 --> 01:27:15,813 Speaker 2: you can see the mouth, you can see the cheekbones, 1713 01:27:15,853 --> 01:27:17,213 Speaker 2: but you just can't put it together. 1714 01:27:17,333 --> 01:27:18,333 Speaker 5: You can't put it together. 1715 01:27:18,453 --> 01:27:21,453 Speaker 21: Yes, so yes, it's you know, many of us, or 1716 01:27:21,493 --> 01:27:23,173 Speaker 21: some of us at least, might say, I'm not very good. 1717 01:27:23,453 --> 01:27:25,813 Speaker 21: I don't really not good at remembering faces. 1718 01:27:25,853 --> 01:27:27,493 Speaker 5: But it's more than that. 1719 01:27:27,733 --> 01:27:30,733 Speaker 21: It's simply not being able to recognize them in the 1720 01:27:30,853 --> 01:27:34,653 Speaker 21: first place. So, you know, an extreme example might be 1721 01:27:34,773 --> 01:27:37,293 Speaker 21: arriving home from the airport. You've been on a big trip, 1722 01:27:37,373 --> 01:27:39,653 Speaker 21: and your wife and children are there to meet you, 1723 01:27:39,773 --> 01:27:42,213 Speaker 21: but you can't pick them out in the crowd because 1724 01:27:42,253 --> 01:27:43,853 Speaker 21: you can't recognize their faces. 1725 01:27:45,173 --> 01:27:46,693 Speaker 5: That there are ways. 1726 01:27:46,493 --> 01:27:49,853 Speaker 21: Around it like that, you know, people get trained to 1727 01:27:50,173 --> 01:27:54,373 Speaker 21: use other bits of the body for information, like you know, 1728 01:27:54,533 --> 01:27:57,333 Speaker 21: somebody's haircut, although of course that can change, or the 1729 01:27:57,413 --> 01:28:02,333 Speaker 21: way somebody walks, and so there are sort of way workarounds, 1730 01:28:02,413 --> 01:28:04,013 Speaker 21: but that none of them are as good. 1731 01:28:04,973 --> 01:28:07,613 Speaker 5: And it's estimated to have around sort of. 1732 01:28:07,653 --> 01:28:10,533 Speaker 21: One to two percent of people in the population, and 1733 01:28:10,613 --> 01:28:13,453 Speaker 21: most of those might experience it after they've had some 1734 01:28:13,573 --> 01:28:15,693 Speaker 21: sort of brain injury or a stroke or something. 1735 01:28:15,533 --> 01:28:18,333 Speaker 2: Like that, right, And is there a scale, you know, 1736 01:28:18,493 --> 01:28:20,413 Speaker 2: like there's some people who have it sort of really 1737 01:28:20,573 --> 01:28:23,293 Speaker 2: profound impacts and some people who maybe just you know, 1738 01:28:23,533 --> 01:28:27,173 Speaker 2: struggle with expressions in that kinda Yeah, yeah, there is. 1739 01:28:27,213 --> 01:28:30,573 Speaker 21: A scale in terms of you know, some people kick 1740 01:28:31,133 --> 01:28:33,293 Speaker 21: have it sort of mildly and some people much more 1741 01:28:33,333 --> 01:28:35,893 Speaker 21: but you know, still have Its fundamental base is that 1742 01:28:35,973 --> 01:28:41,573 Speaker 21: inability to just recognize the face of or recognize faces 1743 01:28:41,613 --> 01:28:44,093 Speaker 21: full stop, doesn't matter whether it's yours or your loved ones. 1744 01:28:44,173 --> 01:28:49,453 Speaker 21: And so yeah, it's a really debilitating condition. It's very 1745 01:28:49,533 --> 01:28:52,573 Speaker 21: hard to I think for us as people who don't 1746 01:28:52,613 --> 01:28:56,013 Speaker 21: have it, to sort of you know, kind of understand 1747 01:28:56,173 --> 01:28:57,173 Speaker 21: or even get a sense of it. 1748 01:28:57,253 --> 01:29:01,293 Speaker 2: It seems so firn but such a subconscious thing. Hey, 1749 01:29:01,413 --> 01:29:04,333 Speaker 2: like the way that you that you recognize faces obviously, 1750 01:29:04,413 --> 01:29:06,773 Speaker 2: but also the way you kind of recognize expressions and stuff. 1751 01:29:06,813 --> 01:29:07,453 Speaker 2: You just can't do it. 1752 01:29:07,613 --> 01:29:07,813 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1753 01:29:07,933 --> 01:29:11,173 Speaker 21: Yeah, there's a whole sort of second layer of processing 1754 01:29:11,253 --> 01:29:14,613 Speaker 21: in your brain. So your your brain gets the first messages. 1755 01:29:14,733 --> 01:29:17,413 Speaker 21: So in terms of receives the messages, yes, I can 1756 01:29:17,493 --> 01:29:20,293 Speaker 21: see that there's nothing wrong with my vision, but it's 1757 01:29:20,413 --> 01:29:23,093 Speaker 21: it's in the complic or the complicated part of actually 1758 01:29:23,173 --> 01:29:25,293 Speaker 21: stitching everything together in a hole, and it makes you 1759 01:29:25,773 --> 01:29:28,653 Speaker 21: sort of go think about how amazing the brain must 1760 01:29:28,733 --> 01:29:31,693 Speaker 21: be to do all this in the background. It's not 1761 01:29:31,813 --> 01:29:34,853 Speaker 21: as simple in out sort of system. It's a very 1762 01:29:34,933 --> 01:29:37,573 Speaker 21: complicated system, and if you tinker with the wiring inside 1763 01:29:37,613 --> 01:29:39,093 Speaker 21: it sometimes goes a bit offline. 1764 01:29:39,373 --> 01:29:42,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah cool. Hey, thank you so much, Google. 1765 01:29:42,893 --> 01:29:46,493 Speaker 2: So thanks Joseph Pagnosia face blindness.

Yeah, I should actually go 1785 01:30:40,173 --> 01:30:41,533 Speaker 2: back and watch it as well, because I loved it 1786 01:30:41,573 --> 01:30:42,853 Speaker 2: when it was on I watched it or when it 1787 01:30:42,933 --> 01:30:45,893 Speaker 2: was on. But yeah, it's obviously right, been a little 1788 01:30:45,893 --> 01:30:49,173 Speaker 2: bit of we've bet a time between drinks, so yeah, 1789 01:30:49,853 --> 01:30:51,173 Speaker 2: go thing to go back. I mean, it is, like 1790 01:30:51,293 --> 01:30:54,813 Speaker 2: you say, it is kind of vintage dare we use 1791 01:30:54,893 --> 01:30:59,213 Speaker 2: that word iconic New Zealand TV. Anyway, We're focusing on 1792 01:30:59,293 --> 01:31:02,493 Speaker 2: Windermere in the UK's Lake District this morning, and is 1793 01:31:02,573 --> 01:31:05,573 Speaker 2: this the kind of England's most popular national park. 1794 01:31:06,613 --> 01:31:09,933 Speaker 5: No doubt about it, Jack, I reckon it's Blighty's answer 1795 01:31:10,293 --> 01:31:15,653 Speaker 5: to Queenstown Lakes or Towpoor because it's just this vast, 1796 01:31:16,333 --> 01:31:21,133 Speaker 5: watery and outdoors you play grand in the Cumbrian countryside. 1797 01:31:21,613 --> 01:31:25,333 Speaker 5: It's got craggy mountains, it's got scenery glore. It was 1798 01:31:25,453 --> 01:31:29,173 Speaker 5: recently crowned with World heritage status, and it's overrun with tourists. 1799 01:31:29,293 --> 01:31:31,293 Speaker 5: And the one thing I do really want a hammer 1800 01:31:31,733 --> 01:31:33,773 Speaker 5: is do not go there in the summer peak. Don't 1801 01:31:33,813 --> 01:31:37,933 Speaker 5: go there today or tomorrow because the holiday hordes they 1802 01:31:38,093 --> 01:31:41,013 Speaker 5: swarm like midges. I was there in May, and it 1803 01:31:41,093 --> 01:31:44,453 Speaker 5: had been probably thirty years since I was last there, 1804 01:31:44,933 --> 01:31:46,493 Speaker 5: So when I was there in May, it was just 1805 01:31:46,653 --> 01:31:50,613 Speaker 5: pitch perfect, like the weather, the spring weather, sparkling and 1806 01:31:50,893 --> 01:31:54,653 Speaker 5: just no crowd. So dodge that peak season. Wow. 1807 01:31:54,933 --> 01:31:57,453 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that's very good to know. Where is a 1808 01:31:57,493 --> 01:31:58,973 Speaker 2: good base though if you do dodge it? 1809 01:32:00,053 --> 01:32:04,613 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I would say because the district sprawls for 1810 01:32:04,933 --> 01:32:08,133 Speaker 5: like hundreds of square kilometers, you really want to find 1811 01:32:08,173 --> 01:32:12,533 Speaker 5: a central location. And bonus on Windermere would be my pick. 1812 01:32:12,853 --> 01:32:15,213 Speaker 5: It's a very perky tourist town. It's got all the 1813 01:32:15,293 --> 01:32:18,893 Speaker 5: tourist trappings, but it's actually really easy to reach, so 1814 01:32:19,173 --> 01:32:23,253 Speaker 5: for example, you can train there from London. And in 1815 01:32:23,373 --> 01:32:28,773 Speaker 5: fact I loved this when I was in Windermere. William 1816 01:32:28,933 --> 01:32:32,453 Speaker 5: Wordsworth he actually penned a pollen because he was so 1817 01:32:32,853 --> 01:32:37,453 Speaker 5: pissed off with the railway arriving into Windermere back in 1818 01:32:37,533 --> 01:32:40,893 Speaker 5: the eighteen forties and His poem says, is then no 1819 01:32:41,173 --> 01:32:45,973 Speaker 5: nook of English ground secure from rash assault, and his 1820 01:32:46,173 --> 01:32:49,813 Speaker 5: name pops up all over the Lake district. His legacy 1821 01:32:49,893 --> 01:32:52,853 Speaker 5: is everywhere. In fact, if you go to Gabra Park 1822 01:32:53,333 --> 01:32:56,093 Speaker 5: in the Lake district, that is where you will find 1823 01:32:56,293 --> 01:33:00,853 Speaker 5: that vast drift of daffodils which inspired a certain poem. 1824 01:33:00,973 --> 01:33:04,333 Speaker 2: Yeah right, so what is quite what is so distinctive 1825 01:33:04,333 --> 01:33:05,293 Speaker 2: about Lake Windermere. 1826 01:33:06,573 --> 01:33:09,613 Speaker 5: It's the big Daddy. So this is England's largest lake, 1827 01:33:09,773 --> 01:33:14,333 Speaker 5: So a big, glossy, deep blue body of water stretches 1828 01:33:14,413 --> 01:33:18,413 Speaker 5: for miles. Grab a kayak, grab a rowboat, take a 1829 01:33:18,613 --> 01:33:23,133 Speaker 5: cruise and just marinate yourself in the bucolic glory of 1830 01:33:23,253 --> 01:33:26,373 Speaker 5: the of the scenery. It is so gorgeous it could 1831 01:33:26,413 --> 01:33:31,333 Speaker 5: be New Zealand. You know, it's just so fabulously spectacular. 1832 01:33:31,613 --> 01:33:34,373 Speaker 5: The big point of difference, you've got all that old 1833 01:33:34,453 --> 01:33:40,013 Speaker 5: world architecture. So all along the lakefront of Windermere there 1834 01:33:40,053 --> 01:33:44,093 Speaker 5: are these stately stone country manners and they all like 1835 01:33:44,373 --> 01:33:47,093 Speaker 5: huddle around the lake edge like safari animals at the 1836 01:33:47,133 --> 01:33:50,493 Speaker 5: watering hole. So that's when you know it's not New Zealand. 1837 01:33:50,973 --> 01:33:54,413 Speaker 5: But the landscape is really so blissful Jack, I can 1838 01:33:54,573 --> 01:33:59,053 Speaker 5: certainly understand why the Princess of Wales spends so much 1839 01:33:59,213 --> 01:34:02,213 Speaker 5: time there as part of your cancer recovery. It is 1840 01:34:02,333 --> 01:34:03,853 Speaker 5: just a therapeutic place. 1841 01:34:04,133 --> 01:34:07,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wonderful. So for Beatrix Potter Potter fans, what 1842 01:34:08,053 --> 01:34:10,813 Speaker 2: should you prioritize? What would you recommend they check out? 1843 01:34:11,853 --> 01:34:16,213 Speaker 5: Ah, you could go potty on the Potter Trail. Her 1844 01:34:16,293 --> 01:34:19,773 Speaker 5: footprints are everywhere. So first of all, I would say 1845 01:34:19,893 --> 01:34:22,653 Speaker 5: check out ray Castle because that's where she holidayed as 1846 01:34:22,653 --> 01:34:26,653 Speaker 5: a child and that captured her imagination and her lifelong 1847 01:34:27,133 --> 01:34:30,853 Speaker 5: love affair with the Lake District. She's got two homes 1848 01:34:32,213 --> 01:34:35,973 Speaker 5: and if you have kids in tow, definitely treat them 1849 01:34:36,013 --> 01:34:38,693 Speaker 5: to the world of Betrick's Potter, which is sort of 1850 01:34:38,853 --> 01:34:42,253 Speaker 5: like part theater, part museum, but it's where Peter Rabbit 1851 01:34:42,373 --> 01:34:46,893 Speaker 5: and Jemima, Puddle Dark and friends they all come to life. Remarkably, 1852 01:34:46,973 --> 01:34:50,413 Speaker 5: jack Potter went on to own fourteen farms in the 1853 01:34:50,493 --> 01:34:54,893 Speaker 5: Lake District, and she bequeathed all that farmland and her 1854 01:34:54,973 --> 01:34:58,893 Speaker 5: homes and all the royalties from her box to the 1855 01:34:59,013 --> 01:35:02,173 Speaker 5: National Trust. So she is quite the gift that keeps 1856 01:35:02,253 --> 01:35:02,693 Speaker 5: on giving. 1857 01:35:02,973 --> 01:35:04,813 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. So what about grasp me. 1858 01:35:06,533 --> 01:35:10,213 Speaker 5: Yeah, just north of Lake Windermere. Grassmere is your quintessential 1859 01:35:10,333 --> 01:35:13,493 Speaker 5: chocolate box village. And this is where Wordsworth lived, so 1860 01:35:14,053 --> 01:35:16,253 Speaker 5: you can go and see his home, the creeper Clad 1861 01:35:16,493 --> 01:35:20,533 Speaker 5: Dove Cottage, and his whole family are actually buried in 1862 01:35:20,653 --> 01:35:24,373 Speaker 5: the church graveyard. But best of all the sweet treats, 1863 01:35:25,173 --> 01:35:29,253 Speaker 5: the village is home to Grassmear gingerbread. Now, I don't 1864 01:35:29,373 --> 01:35:34,013 Speaker 5: think your dime it doesen't gingerbread biscuit because Grassmere gingerbread 1865 01:35:34,213 --> 01:35:38,533 Speaker 5: is a British icon and it's this quite novel spicy 1866 01:35:38,733 --> 01:35:42,293 Speaker 5: sweet cross between a biscuit and a cake. I reckon 1867 01:35:42,333 --> 01:35:44,973 Speaker 5: it's more like a moosley bar, so you know, it's 1868 01:35:44,973 --> 01:35:48,773 Speaker 5: sort of crispy, crumbly and chewy more than one. And 1869 01:35:48,893 --> 01:35:52,373 Speaker 5: this was invented by a Victorian baker in Grassmere and 1870 01:35:52,493 --> 01:35:55,613 Speaker 5: for over a century it's now been produced and sold 1871 01:35:55,733 --> 01:36:00,613 Speaker 5: from the old village schoolhouse in Grassmere, where Wordsworth was 1872 01:36:00,653 --> 01:36:04,013 Speaker 5: actually a teacher. So yeah, make a beeline for the 1873 01:36:04,093 --> 01:36:07,653 Speaker 5: gingerbread shop. It really is quite Moorish and. 1874 01:36:07,973 --> 01:36:10,413 Speaker 2: This is like really good hiking country, isn't it. 1875 01:36:11,533 --> 01:36:15,613 Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah, there are tails for all trails for all tastes. 1876 01:36:15,813 --> 01:36:20,373 Speaker 5: If you want to knockoff England's highest peak scoref our Pike. 1877 01:36:21,133 --> 01:36:23,973 Speaker 5: That's in the neighborhood, so it tops out about a 1878 01:36:24,213 --> 01:36:28,053 Speaker 5: thousand meters, so you will need a reasonable level of fitness. Yeh, 1879 01:36:28,253 --> 01:36:32,253 Speaker 5: make it a half day jaunt. Beautiful scenery. I actually 1880 01:36:32,373 --> 01:36:34,773 Speaker 5: think if you want something a little shorter and sweeter, 1881 01:36:35,613 --> 01:36:38,773 Speaker 5: go for a place called wind Letter. This is forest 1882 01:36:39,093 --> 01:36:43,533 Speaker 5: bathing on a fabulous scale. So wind Letter is this 1883 01:36:43,693 --> 01:36:48,213 Speaker 5: mountain forest just out of Keswick and it is just 1884 01:36:48,933 --> 01:36:52,493 Speaker 5: so dense this forest, and it's a tangle of pine trees, 1885 01:36:53,133 --> 01:36:57,133 Speaker 5: spruce and large. It's a very fragrant way to do 1886 01:36:57,253 --> 01:37:01,893 Speaker 5: some forest bathing. Nice Any quirky fines, Well, if I 1887 01:37:01,933 --> 01:37:05,053 Speaker 5: said to you Jack, shall we go to the pencil Museum. 1888 01:37:06,613 --> 01:37:06,893 Speaker 2: Again? 1889 01:37:09,053 --> 01:37:11,293 Speaker 5: And probably wouldn't blow your hair bag with it the 1890 01:37:11,373 --> 01:37:12,253 Speaker 5: pencil Museum. 1891 01:37:13,653 --> 01:37:15,653 Speaker 2: I'm open minded famously, as you know. 1892 01:37:17,133 --> 01:37:20,253 Speaker 5: I've found this quite fascinating. So this is in Keswick, 1893 01:37:20,453 --> 01:37:24,333 Speaker 5: close to the Winletter Forest and it's a wee gym 1894 01:37:24,613 --> 01:37:27,813 Speaker 5: because it does such a good job just walking you 1895 01:37:27,933 --> 01:37:30,053 Speaker 5: through the history of pencils. And the reason it's in 1896 01:37:30,173 --> 01:37:35,253 Speaker 5: Keswick is because they had these huge graphite deposits, so 1897 01:37:35,413 --> 01:37:39,173 Speaker 5: for hundreds and hundreds of years, local farmers around Kiswick 1898 01:37:39,173 --> 01:37:42,653 Speaker 5: would use graphite to mark the sheep right, which sort 1899 01:37:42,693 --> 01:37:46,853 Speaker 5: of gave rise to Kiswick's pencil factories. And then it 1900 01:37:46,933 --> 01:37:50,413 Speaker 5: was the friend too later mixed graphite with clay which 1901 01:37:50,573 --> 01:37:54,893 Speaker 5: produced the likes of your trustee HB. Pencil. I now 1902 01:37:55,053 --> 01:37:56,613 Speaker 5: know so much about pencils, Jack. 1903 01:37:58,733 --> 01:38:00,693 Speaker 2: Stuff like that is always amazing and it's the stuff 1904 01:38:00,733 --> 01:38:03,253 Speaker 2: you remember when you travel. Don't you think it's true? 1905 01:38:03,533 --> 01:38:03,773 Speaker 5: It is? 1906 01:38:03,933 --> 01:38:06,133 Speaker 2: Yeah, good, Hey, thank you so much, Mike.

Whoever's decision it 1931 01:39:33,973 --> 01:39:36,333 Speaker 22: was to take Weekend Sport on the road and set 1932 01:39:36,413 --> 01:39:39,613 Speaker 22: up at pubs on Test match Saturdays, deserves a race. 1933 01:39:39,733 --> 01:39:42,933 Speaker 2: Yes, they deserve every bit of kudos coming their way. 1934 01:39:43,493 --> 01:39:44,973 Speaker 2: Some would say that you've got a tough gig at 1935 01:39:44,973 --> 01:39:47,213 Speaker 2: the best of times talking sport for a living, Jason. 1936 01:39:47,253 --> 01:39:49,333 Speaker 2: But yes, that's sort of taken things to another level, 1937 01:39:49,413 --> 01:39:53,373 Speaker 2: hasn't it. It's fantastic to be in Hamilton this afternoon. 1938 01:39:53,773 --> 01:39:56,213 Speaker 2: What is I mean? It sounds like the atmosphere is 1939 01:39:56,253 --> 01:39:59,693 Speaker 2: already sort of building, but what is your expectation for 1940 01:39:59,933 --> 01:40:00,813 Speaker 2: the game tonight. 1941 01:40:01,533 --> 01:40:04,013 Speaker 22: I think a large part of you thinks that the 1942 01:40:04,053 --> 01:40:05,493 Speaker 22: All Blacks are going to run away with this. I 1943 01:40:05,573 --> 01:40:08,493 Speaker 22: feel so f a kind of stumbling towards the finish line. 1944 01:40:08,693 --> 01:40:13,173 Speaker 22: They've been in action across there. You know, their northern winter, 1945 01:40:13,613 --> 01:40:15,893 Speaker 22: this is the end of year tour for them. They 1946 01:40:16,053 --> 01:40:17,813 Speaker 22: just seem as though they're out of gas a little bit. 1947 01:40:17,893 --> 01:40:19,253 Speaker 22: And then you look at the All Blacks team. You 1948 01:40:19,333 --> 01:40:21,453 Speaker 22: think the number of players who are getting an opportunity 1949 01:40:21,573 --> 01:40:23,613 Speaker 22: tonight who haven't had the chance to play in the 1950 01:40:23,653 --> 01:40:26,293 Speaker 22: first couple of test matches, the number of Chiefs who 1951 01:40:26,333 --> 01:40:30,013 Speaker 22: were in the back line in particular, I mean McKenzie two, Pire. 1952 01:40:29,893 --> 01:40:31,973 Speaker 2: Leonett Brown. Imagine those three combining. 1953 01:40:32,293 --> 01:40:34,293 Speaker 22: And then you just think that the All Blacks at 1954 01:40:34,333 --> 01:40:36,533 Speaker 22: the moment look as though they're a team who every 1955 01:40:36,573 --> 01:40:39,253 Speaker 22: time they play get better. They were better last week 1956 01:40:39,293 --> 01:40:41,893 Speaker 22: than Dunedin. I think they'll be better tonight. Sold out 1957 01:40:41,933 --> 01:40:45,733 Speaker 22: crowd at FMG, good playing surface, Wheather's going to be good. 1958 01:40:46,573 --> 01:40:48,853 Speaker 22: I just think this might be similar to last week, 1959 01:40:48,893 --> 01:40:50,653 Speaker 22: if not an even bigger winning. 1960 01:40:50,493 --> 01:40:52,253 Speaker 2: Market for the All Blacks. Yeah, I think you could 1961 01:40:52,253 --> 01:40:54,693 Speaker 2: be onto something there. I really do, so to what 1962 01:40:54,773 --> 01:40:57,253 Speaker 2: are you planning on the show this afternoon as you 1963 01:40:57,333 --> 01:40:58,813 Speaker 2: count down the hours to kick off? 1964 01:40:59,013 --> 01:41:00,973 Speaker 22: Well, as we always do when we come to places 1965 01:41:01,013 --> 01:41:02,413 Speaker 22: like this, we like to give it a flavor of 1966 01:41:02,453 --> 01:41:04,413 Speaker 22: the city that we're in. So I thought to myself, Okay, 1967 01:41:04,413 --> 01:41:08,213 Speaker 22: we're in Hamilton. Who was the biggest rugby icon in Hamilton? 1968 01:41:08,253 --> 01:41:09,973 Speaker 22: And you land on Stephen Donald, don't you? 1969 01:41:10,053 --> 01:41:10,973 Speaker 2: You land on Beaver? 1970 01:41:11,333 --> 01:41:13,413 Speaker 22: So he's going to come down and join us live 1971 01:41:13,413 --> 01:41:15,213 Speaker 22: at one o'clock. I said, come on, mate, you've got 1972 01:41:15,293 --> 01:41:16,653 Speaker 22: to come down. He said, yeah, I've got a bit 1973 01:41:16,693 --> 01:41:18,293 Speaker 22: on today, but I will come down. So he's with 1974 01:41:18,413 --> 01:41:21,453 Speaker 22: us after one o'clock. After two, another couple of White 1975 01:41:21,493 --> 01:41:25,613 Speaker 22: Cup to rugby legends Matthew Cooper and Steve Gordon going 1976 01:41:25,653 --> 01:41:27,853 Speaker 22: to be here, but we'll flavor it across the afternoon 1977 01:41:27,893 --> 01:41:30,573 Speaker 22: as well, with some guests here at the at the 1978 01:41:30,653 --> 01:41:33,293 Speaker 22: Roaming Giant. But also this really interesting story this week, 1979 01:41:33,373 --> 01:41:35,213 Speaker 22: Jack that I'm sure you've picked up on Rugby three 1980 01:41:35,413 --> 01:41:38,333 Speaker 22: sixty and the fact that this new professional competition is 1981 01:41:38,373 --> 01:41:41,373 Speaker 22: starting to turn the heads of not only top rugby players, 1982 01:41:41,373 --> 01:41:43,853 Speaker 22: but top rugby league players, the likes of Roger to 1983 01:41:43,893 --> 01:41:45,613 Speaker 22: We've asked to Sheeck as well, this is this real 1984 01:41:46,093 --> 01:41:48,333 Speaker 22: or is this just a fantasy? Is this just another 1985 01:41:48,653 --> 01:41:52,093 Speaker 22: one of these ideas that sounds good but won't ever 1986 01:41:52,173 --> 01:41:54,733 Speaker 22: actually come to fruition? Want to unpack that after midday 1987 01:41:54,773 --> 01:41:55,173 Speaker 22: to day. 1988 01:41:55,133 --> 01:41:58,093 Speaker 2: And anyway you can gauge what the result might be 1989 01:41:58,653 --> 01:42:01,893 Speaker 2: in your beloved capital city this afternoon with the Phoenix 1990 01:42:01,933 --> 01:42:02,413 Speaker 2: and Rexham. 1991 01:42:02,693 --> 01:42:04,773 Speaker 22: Yeah, it seems odd to be away from Wellington on 1992 01:42:04,893 --> 01:42:07,253 Speaker 22: there's a Phoenix game going on. But great news this morning. 1993 01:42:07,333 --> 01:42:09,133 Speaker 22: Again you would have picked up on this. Libby Kacacchi 1994 01:42:09,173 --> 01:42:11,413 Speaker 22: has signed for Wrexham. Just a bit too late to 1995 01:42:11,493 --> 01:42:14,053 Speaker 22: feature in this game unfortunately. Look it's a it's a 1996 01:42:14,093 --> 01:42:16,693 Speaker 22: pretty inexperienced Phoenix side. They're missing a couple of their 1997 01:42:17,373 --> 01:42:19,973 Speaker 22: of their you know, they're older and more experienced players. 1998 01:42:20,013 --> 01:42:23,253 Speaker 22: But I think in occasion this afternoon for the faithful 1999 01:42:23,253 --> 01:42:26,093 Speaker 22: and Wellington. Upwards of twenty twenty five thousand expected at 2000 01:42:26,133 --> 01:42:28,533 Speaker 22: sky Stadium, so a great occasion for the for the 2001 01:42:28,533 --> 01:42:30,253 Speaker 22: football fans of the Capitol as well. 2002 01:42:30,373 --> 01:42:32,413 Speaker 2: So good hey, you have fun this afternoon.

Amazing, 2034 01:43:58,573 --> 01:44:00,453 Speaker 2: isn't it. How like a TV show like that can 2035 01:44:00,653 --> 01:44:03,373 Speaker 2: can and I presume you've watched the TV show, can 2036 01:44:03,573 --> 01:44:06,093 Speaker 2: can develop a fan base around the world so that 2037 01:44:06,533 --> 01:44:08,773 Speaker 2: a team like that can tour Australia and New Zealand 2038 01:44:08,853 --> 01:44:10,533 Speaker 2: and they can expect twenty thousand fans. 2039 01:44:11,733 --> 01:44:13,853 Speaker 15: I just think it's amazing, and I think I also 2040 01:44:13,973 --> 01:44:17,053 Speaker 15: think that what Ryan Reynolds and Rob mclhoney have done 2041 01:44:17,213 --> 01:44:19,773 Speaker 15: for the team. I mean, obviously their Hollywood background has helped, 2042 01:44:20,613 --> 01:44:22,493 Speaker 15: you know, but just how they've built up the city 2043 01:44:22,493 --> 01:44:24,133 Speaker 15: of Rixham as well and the people around it. And 2044 01:44:24,213 --> 01:44:25,773 Speaker 15: what I like about the TV show is that they 2045 01:44:25,853 --> 01:44:27,613 Speaker 15: talk about all of the characters that are involved, and 2046 01:44:27,653 --> 01:44:29,413 Speaker 15: it's not just about the players, it's about the town. 2047 01:44:29,773 --> 01:44:32,573 Speaker 15: It's a really interesting watcher for sure. Anybody hasn't watched 2048 01:44:32,573 --> 01:44:33,413 Speaker 15: it as well as well. 2049 01:44:33,533 --> 01:44:35,373 Speaker 2: Yeah, what are they called the real life Ted Lesso 2050 01:44:35,413 --> 01:44:35,813 Speaker 2: in a sense? 2051 01:44:36,653 --> 01:44:37,053 Speaker 7: Yeah they do. 2052 01:44:37,333 --> 01:44:39,573 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh so good. So they're in the championship 2053 01:44:40,013 --> 01:44:42,293 Speaker 2: next season, which is going to be a big ask 2054 01:44:42,373 --> 01:44:44,573 Speaker 2: but amazing and so good that the Big Cacci is 2055 01:44:44,573 --> 01:44:46,013 Speaker 2: going to be playing for them as well. But anyway, 2056 01:44:46,933 --> 01:44:50,053 Speaker 2: two reads to recommend to us this weekend, So we 2057 01:44:50,133 --> 01:44:53,213 Speaker 2: will begin with the latest from Steve Braunius tell us 2058 01:44:53,253 --> 01:44:54,133 Speaker 2: about Polkinghorn. 2059 01:44:55,333 --> 01:44:57,893 Speaker 15: So this is where and Steve Bornis is as a 2060 01:44:57,973 --> 01:45:00,253 Speaker 15: journalist and he's covered a lot of murder trials in 2061 01:45:00,293 --> 01:45:03,533 Speaker 15: New Zealand, and this one about Pokinghorn he's set through 2062 01:45:03,653 --> 01:45:06,373 Speaker 15: and he'd listened to what you can only really describe. 2063 01:45:06,413 --> 01:45:09,653 Speaker 15: I was a very intriguing and unusual murder case. And 2064 01:45:09,733 --> 01:45:12,493 Speaker 15: of course this covers that eight week trial of Philip Polkihorn, 2065 01:45:12,533 --> 01:45:15,653 Speaker 15: who was accused of murdering his wife Pauline Hannah, and 2066 01:45:15,733 --> 01:45:18,373 Speaker 15: the police quickly suspected him of murder and then sort 2067 01:45:18,373 --> 01:45:21,933 Speaker 15: of slowly, and as Braunius describes, not altogether in a 2068 01:45:21,973 --> 01:45:25,213 Speaker 15: particularly competent way, went about investigating every aspect of his 2069 01:45:25,333 --> 01:45:28,253 Speaker 15: life and a lot about his sex life, and finally 2070 01:45:29,053 --> 01:45:31,653 Speaker 15: arresting him for the murder of his wife sixteen months 2071 01:45:31,693 --> 01:45:34,053 Speaker 15: after he made the one one one call after saying 2072 01:45:34,093 --> 01:45:36,613 Speaker 15: that she hanged herself in their roomy were a home 2073 01:45:37,213 --> 01:45:40,093 Speaker 15: And of course now we know he's been acquitted, and 2074 01:45:41,213 --> 01:45:45,893 Speaker 15: it's it's just it's fascinating. He Braunius discusses Madison Ashton, 2075 01:45:45,973 --> 01:45:49,373 Speaker 15: the sex worker who had this relationship with Popyhorn, and 2076 01:45:49,693 --> 01:45:51,733 Speaker 15: you know, kind of that was the motive that he 2077 01:45:51,853 --> 01:45:54,253 Speaker 15: had to kill Pokinghorn. But you know, as we know, 2078 01:45:54,413 --> 01:45:57,093 Speaker 15: she disappeared and refused to appear, only of course later 2079 01:45:57,173 --> 01:46:01,413 Speaker 15: to have converse fully with the media. And what I 2080 01:46:01,493 --> 01:46:04,973 Speaker 15: found really fascinating about it is that normally when someone's 2081 01:46:04,973 --> 01:46:07,253 Speaker 15: on trial for murder, they kind of hidden sort of 2082 01:46:07,293 --> 01:46:09,533 Speaker 15: behind a glass box and that's where they are, and 2083 01:46:09,653 --> 01:46:11,493 Speaker 15: he wasn't confined to that at all. He sort of 2084 01:46:11,533 --> 01:46:13,653 Speaker 15: had a rose to himself behind his legal team, and 2085 01:46:13,813 --> 01:46:15,693 Speaker 15: he appeared at the kind of the dock at the 2086 01:46:15,733 --> 01:46:17,333 Speaker 15: beginning of the trial to enter his plea and at 2087 01:46:17,373 --> 01:46:19,573 Speaker 15: the very end otherwise he was sort of part of 2088 01:46:19,613 --> 01:46:22,253 Speaker 15: the population. And you know, I suspect that he formed 2089 01:46:22,293 --> 01:46:25,213 Speaker 15: some relation, you know, relationships with people in Chattingham in 2090 01:46:25,413 --> 01:46:29,613 Speaker 15: the courtroom, and but the trial revealed these very dark 2091 01:46:29,893 --> 01:46:32,933 Speaker 15: secrets of these privileged and very unhappy life and brauni 2092 01:46:32,973 --> 01:46:35,133 Speaker 15: has had access to many of those key players in 2093 01:46:35,213 --> 01:46:38,573 Speaker 15: the investigation and it just it makes for really interesting 2094 01:46:38,693 --> 01:46:40,173 Speaker 15: reading and a different perspective on it. 2095 01:46:41,013 --> 01:46:43,733 Speaker 2: So that's Polkinghorn by Steve Braunius. You've also read Broke 2096 01:46:43,853 --> 01:46:46,533 Speaker 2: Road by Matthew Spencer, so this for. 2097 01:46:46,613 --> 01:46:51,093 Speaker 15: Something completely different. There's follows two detectives, There's Rose Riley 2098 01:46:51,133 --> 01:46:53,813 Speaker 15: and DC Prior Patel, and they head north to this 2099 01:46:54,653 --> 01:46:56,773 Speaker 15: village in New South Wales in the beautiful Hunter valley 2100 01:46:56,813 --> 01:47:00,533 Speaker 15: called Red Creek, and a young married woman there, Penelope Armitage, 2101 01:47:00,573 --> 01:47:04,653 Speaker 15: has been strangled in her home on this newly built 2102 01:47:04,773 --> 01:47:07,533 Speaker 15: townhouse on this residential avalil development, and it becomes very 2103 01:47:07,573 --> 01:47:10,693 Speaker 15: clear that she knew who had attacked her and who 2104 01:47:10,813 --> 01:47:14,333 Speaker 15: murdered her, but the evidence suggests that she was alone. 2105 01:47:14,693 --> 01:47:15,893 Speaker 10: And so Riley. 2106 01:47:17,213 --> 01:47:19,293 Speaker 15: Is told to be wary of the local police force 2107 01:47:19,333 --> 01:47:20,813 Speaker 15: and she sort of sets up her own instant a 2108 01:47:20,893 --> 01:47:23,413 Speaker 15: room away from the police station.

They've just released an album called Strange 2143 01:49:29,293 --> 01:49:33,133 Speaker 2: Vision Volume one. Estelle Clifford has been listening to it. 2144 01:49:33,693 --> 01:49:36,293 Speaker 2: She's our music reverewan. She's with us now, Kildra Stelle. 2145 01:49:36,453 --> 01:49:39,293 Speaker 23: Oh calder morning, just bringing you something a little eclectic 2146 01:49:39,413 --> 01:49:40,373 Speaker 23: and different today. 2147 01:49:40,533 --> 01:49:44,333 Speaker 2: I think that's an understatement. No, it's cool. It's not 2148 01:49:44,493 --> 01:49:46,653 Speaker 2: it's not a criticism. It's cool. Yeah, it's great. 2149 01:49:47,333 --> 01:49:49,093 Speaker 23: I was going to say it's a scopism, but then 2150 01:49:49,293 --> 01:49:51,573 Speaker 23: when you get into the lyrics and the storytelling, it's 2151 01:49:51,573 --> 01:49:54,613 Speaker 23: actually very right on the nose of kind of how 2152 01:49:54,693 --> 01:49:58,053 Speaker 23: the world is right now and you know commentary on 2153 01:49:58,293 --> 01:50:00,053 Speaker 23: sort of where we're at that that song there so 2154 01:50:00,533 --> 01:50:03,093 Speaker 23: on the television. Actually, my favor of the whole album 2155 01:50:03,293 --> 01:50:04,853 Speaker 23: when you when it's got the opener, you go right 2156 01:50:04,853 --> 01:50:06,893 Speaker 23: to the beginning of it. It's got this really funk bass. 2157 01:50:07,213 --> 01:50:11,053 Speaker 23: It's quite spacey opener. His vocals are really great on it, 2158 01:50:11,213 --> 01:50:14,013 Speaker 23: and the really running scene throughout this entire album is 2159 01:50:14,173 --> 01:50:17,653 Speaker 23: he's just an excellent musician, great musical little track that 2160 01:50:17,733 --> 01:50:21,533 Speaker 23: you can just sink into polar extremes. The artist behind 2161 01:50:21,573 --> 01:50:24,613 Speaker 23: that is called Quaint. He's very elusive, doesn't really have 2162 01:50:24,693 --> 01:50:28,733 Speaker 23: a huge social media profile or anything, and from the 2163 01:50:28,773 --> 01:50:34,173 Speaker 23: press release it says sci fi infused, postmodern satirical apocalyptic beats. 2164 01:50:34,453 --> 01:50:35,293 Speaker 2: Oh okay. 2165 01:50:36,013 --> 01:50:37,773 Speaker 23: If I was going to make it a little more simplified, 2166 01:50:37,933 --> 01:50:40,973 Speaker 23: I would think just imagine him performing in some of 2167 01:50:41,093 --> 01:50:44,893 Speaker 23: the really cool grungey theaters of Wellington doing their underground 2168 01:50:45,093 --> 01:50:48,573 Speaker 23: kind of performance sort of music. I think David Bowie 2169 01:50:49,213 --> 01:50:53,053 Speaker 23: Flight to the Concords. Yeah, and then there's some weird, funny, 2170 01:50:53,213 --> 01:50:55,373 Speaker 23: dark wit stuff that goes along with. 2171 01:50:56,533 --> 01:50:57,653 Speaker 2: Sort of vaudeville slash. 2172 01:50:57,693 --> 01:50:59,653 Speaker 23: It wouldn't be out of place at a steampunk event, 2173 01:51:00,013 --> 01:51:02,093 Speaker 23: right right, Yeah, it kind of makes me think of that. 2174 01:51:02,413 --> 01:51:07,413 Speaker 2: And it's just a one person yeah yeah, Quaint is 2175 01:51:07,493 --> 01:51:07,773 Speaker 2: just a. 2176 01:51:07,813 --> 01:51:10,453 Speaker 23: Single person, and I kind of like that elusiveness. I 2177 01:51:10,493 --> 01:51:13,053 Speaker 23: think it draws you in a little bit where you're like, who, what, 2178 01:51:13,293 --> 01:51:15,453 Speaker 23: why and how is this getting put together? 2179 01:51:15,653 --> 01:51:19,093 Speaker 2: But to hold the extremes is Quaint, which is one person, 2180 01:51:19,253 --> 01:51:21,933 Speaker 2: So it's not yeah yeah right, okay, okay, yeah, I 2181 01:51:21,973 --> 01:51:24,013 Speaker 2: think all morning. 2182 01:51:24,293 --> 01:51:27,333 Speaker 23: Well there could be like maybe yeah right, so performing 2183 01:51:27,373 --> 01:51:29,533 Speaker 23: tonight at Moon and Wellington, so maybe once you see 2184 01:51:29,813 --> 01:51:32,373 Speaker 23: live shows, yea, yeah, come back to us. Because this 2185 01:51:32,693 --> 01:51:35,013 Speaker 23: this album actually came out in twenty nineteen, a very 2186 01:51:35,093 --> 01:51:40,773 Speaker 23: quiet digital release like posts pre Pandemic rather, and then 2187 01:51:40,773 --> 01:51:44,213 Speaker 23: it sort of just kind of disappeared like a trial 2188 01:51:44,253 --> 01:51:46,613 Speaker 23: and erar. But the songs have been getting put together again. 2189 01:51:47,413 --> 01:51:50,293 Speaker 23: Quaint has been performing, you know, in the Wellington underground 2190 01:51:50,293 --> 01:51:52,813 Speaker 23: scene and other musical scenes since the nineties, and so 2191 01:51:52,973 --> 01:51:56,653 Speaker 23: some of this kind of like music and storytelling were 2192 01:51:56,733 --> 01:52:00,053 Speaker 23: starting their early two thousands and then you hear these 2193 01:52:00,093 --> 01:52:02,533 Speaker 23: songs that you're like, this one called consume, right, and 2194 01:52:02,613 --> 01:52:05,493 Speaker 23: it just basically repeats that lyric consume, consume, consume, and 2195 01:52:05,533 --> 01:52:08,333 Speaker 23: you're like, oh god, it speaks volumes for where we 2196 01:52:08,413 --> 01:52:11,413 Speaker 23: are as a people, sometimes, doesn't it where we just 2197 01:52:12,053 --> 01:52:14,173 Speaker 23: I mean, are we consuming things or are we just 2198 01:52:14,293 --> 01:52:16,453 Speaker 23: consuming all the resources? 2199 01:52:16,973 --> 01:52:18,293 Speaker 5: You know, it's still very. 2200 01:52:18,453 --> 01:52:20,613 Speaker 23: Poignant to what is happening in the world right now 2201 01:52:20,733 --> 01:52:26,333 Speaker 23: and delivered in that very theatrical kind of music way, 2202 01:52:26,493 --> 01:52:28,333 Speaker 23: and then you can just enjoy actually the layers of 2203 01:52:28,413 --> 01:52:31,173 Speaker 23: music too, because it's very good and very very clever. 2204 01:52:31,293 --> 01:52:33,493 Speaker 23: But again, I think if you think Flight of the Conchords, 2205 01:52:34,653 --> 01:52:37,293 Speaker 23: but then this really pop funk, eclectic sort of sound 2206 01:52:37,373 --> 01:52:41,853 Speaker 23: going on underneath, it's yeah, it's really it's very cool, 2207 01:52:41,973 --> 01:52:46,013 Speaker 23: Like I just really like what's going on here. One 2208 01:52:46,053 --> 01:52:47,733 Speaker 23: of the songs you're going to play us out Worth 2209 01:52:47,933 --> 01:52:50,613 Speaker 23: is Captain zodiex Dictionary. This is probably one of the 2210 01:52:50,693 --> 01:52:54,253 Speaker 23: most fully crazy tracks on there, and there's just absolutely 2211 01:52:54,373 --> 01:52:57,613 Speaker 23: everything going into it, very character filter, you know how 2212 01:52:57,653 --> 01:53:01,973 Speaker 23: there's sometimes that talky kind of storytelling within a track, 2213 01:53:03,173 --> 01:53:05,053 Speaker 23: which again is where I point to, like the vaudeville 2214 01:53:05,253 --> 01:53:08,693 Speaker 23: kind of performance, sing punky kind of thing, but the 2215 01:53:08,853 --> 01:53:11,653 Speaker 23: music still really draws you in with the layers of production. 2216 01:53:11,773 --> 01:53:14,613 Speaker 23: I think it's it's fun, it's a little bit twisted 2217 01:53:14,693 --> 01:53:19,053 Speaker 23: and dark, but clever and beautiful soundtracks, so giving it 2218 01:53:19,173 --> 01:53:21,853 Speaker 23: quite a fresh, funky kind of groove. I think it 2219 01:53:21,933 --> 01:53:25,053 Speaker 23: really reminds me of working in the theater scene in Wellington. Yeah, 2220 01:53:25,373 --> 01:53:27,493 Speaker 23: Like I'm pretty sure he's Auckland based, but it just 2221 01:53:27,573 --> 01:53:30,493 Speaker 23: gives me that really it collected sort of vibe from there. 2222 01:53:30,493 --> 01:53:31,853 Speaker 23: There's a song on there actually too, if you want 2223 01:53:31,853 --> 01:53:33,173 Speaker 23: to track it down. It's at the end of the album. 2224 01:53:33,173 --> 01:53:35,573 Speaker 23: It's called Harps, and there's every kind of sound in 2225 01:53:35,653 --> 01:53:38,813 Speaker 23: there excepta harp, but it has some really great brass 2226 01:53:39,173 --> 01:53:43,333 Speaker 23: and Quaint says it's one to unite the Chakras. Yeah, 2227 01:53:43,413 --> 01:53:45,613 Speaker 23: and each song on the album has its little icon 2228 01:53:45,733 --> 01:53:47,453 Speaker 23: picture and it's a clock. It's a time clock, right 2229 01:53:47,453 --> 01:53:50,533 Speaker 23: because it's the apocalyptic time clock, and each little one 2230 01:53:50,613 --> 01:53:52,413 Speaker 23: has an icon picture, and the one for Harps is 2231 01:53:52,413 --> 01:53:54,213 Speaker 23: a mushroom. So I don't know if we've going on 2232 01:53:54,293 --> 01:53:56,013 Speaker 23: some little random trip, but I'm just going to put 2233 01:53:56,053 --> 01:53:58,733 Speaker 23: that out there that I've sort of enjoyed the visuals 2234 01:53:58,733 --> 01:54:00,613 Speaker 23: that go along with it. And again, I think if 2235 01:54:00,653 --> 01:54:02,733 Speaker 23: you get to see this live, because now it's having 2236 01:54:02,733 --> 01:54:05,053 Speaker 23: a bigger release than it did, and it's quiet, little 2237 01:54:05,093 --> 01:54:09,253 Speaker 23: Heyday of twenty nineteen apparently part of a trilogy too, 2238 01:54:09,373 --> 01:54:11,413 Speaker 23: but again that's very mysterious as to whether or not 2239 01:54:11,413 --> 01:54:16,013 Speaker 23: it will happen. Maybe if Polar Extremes is inspired to 2240 01:54:16,813 --> 01:54:18,973 Speaker 23: write some more, we'll see, maybe see how this sits 2241 01:54:19,013 --> 01:54:21,653 Speaker 23: with everyone. But if you're wanting, yeah, just to change 2242 01:54:21,693 --> 01:54:23,973 Speaker 23: it up a little bit, but still enjoy some really 2243 01:54:24,053 --> 01:54:27,093 Speaker 23: great music and production, it's all in this album. 2244 01:54:27,333 --> 01:54:31,413 Speaker 2: Sounds great, sounds really interesting. Yeah, it sounds interesting. It's quirky. 2245 01:54:31,613 --> 01:54:34,813 Speaker 23: Let's go quirky and eclectic and just go somewhere a 2246 01:54:34,853 --> 01:54:36,253 Speaker 23: little different.
