Good morning and welcome to Newstalk's EDB. 7 00:00:47,253 --> 00:00:49,813 Speaker 2: Jack Tame with you through the midday today. Good news 8 00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:52,053 Speaker 2: just come through on the Tame Family Chat this morning. 9 00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:55,453 Speaker 2: A sense of relief on the Tame Family Chat. So 10 00:00:55,533 --> 00:00:57,933 Speaker 2: mum and Dad were in Hockey Ticket on the South 11 00:00:57,933 --> 00:01:00,053 Speaker 2: Island's West coast. They were there for a couple of 12 00:01:00,093 --> 00:01:03,293 Speaker 2: days this week and they had to drive back on Thursday. 13 00:01:03,373 --> 00:01:05,173 Speaker 2: But of course the weather was packing and so they thought, 14 00:01:05,173 --> 00:01:08,293 Speaker 2: you know what, we're going to leave late on Wednesday. Instead, 15 00:01:08,333 --> 00:01:11,613 Speaker 2: they started driving Wednesday evening from Hockey Ticker back up 16 00:01:11,613 --> 00:01:15,013 Speaker 2: to Nelson and then to Golden Bay. The weather moved 17 00:01:15,053 --> 00:01:17,973 Speaker 2: faster than they were unfortunately, so by the time they 18 00:01:17,973 --> 00:01:23,653 Speaker 2: got to Murchison State Highway six had been closed. They thought, oh, well, 19 00:01:23,693 --> 00:01:27,093 Speaker 2: this will take twenty four hours, maybe maybe twelve. Who knows. 20 00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:29,053 Speaker 2: The road crews work pretty quickly, and that part of 21 00:01:29,053 --> 00:01:31,173 Speaker 2: the country turns out took a whole lot longer than 22 00:01:31,213 --> 00:01:35,933 Speaker 2: they had expected. Three nights they spent stranded in Murchison 23 00:01:36,373 --> 00:01:39,373 Speaker 2: and look, Murchison is a great place, got some fascinating history, 24 00:01:39,413 --> 00:01:41,453 Speaker 2: some beautiful landscapes around there. But I think it's fair 25 00:01:41,493 --> 00:01:43,413 Speaker 2: to say that after three nights Mum and Dad were 26 00:01:43,493 --> 00:01:46,213 Speaker 2: keen to hit the road. So the good news on 27 00:01:46,253 --> 00:01:49,853 Speaker 2: the family chat this morning as I can confirm va 28 00:01:49,893 --> 00:01:52,813 Speaker 2: Mum and Dad that State Highway six between Murchison and 29 00:01:52,893 --> 00:01:55,773 Speaker 2: Nelson is officially open. They've managed to make it through 30 00:01:55,813 --> 00:01:57,813 Speaker 2: this morning, and I think feeling pretty relieved about that. 31 00:01:58,413 --> 00:02:00,453 Speaker 2: If you're in Southland Kui Colda today, we're going to 32 00:02:00,493 --> 00:02:02,333 Speaker 2: make sure we keep you up to speed with all 33 00:02:02,373 --> 00:02:05,493 Speaker 2: the updates from the various authorities as everyone continues to 34 00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:08,693 Speaker 2: feel the effects of that crazy weather this week. We've 35 00:02:08,733 --> 00:02:10,813 Speaker 2: got a busy show this morning, so our feature interview 36 00:02:10,813 --> 00:02:14,973 Speaker 2: after ten o'clock is John Boyeger. John starred as Finn 37 00:02:15,253 --> 00:02:18,733 Speaker 2: in Star Wars The Force Awakens, and he's a bit 38 00:02:18,773 --> 00:02:21,893 Speaker 2: of an interesting figure because having starred in Star Wars, 39 00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:25,173 Speaker 2: he then spoke out in a way against the franchise. 40 00:02:25,213 --> 00:02:27,013 Speaker 2: I'm to tell you a bit more about that before ten. 41 00:02:27,053 --> 00:02:29,013 Speaker 2: He'll be with us right after ten o'clock this morning 42 00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:32,893 Speaker 2: as well as that we're focusing on another star on screen, 43 00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:37,733 Speaker 2: namely Bruce Springsteen. The new Springsteen film has just been released, 44 00:02:37,773 --> 00:02:39,613 Speaker 2: so our film reviewer has been to see Deliver Me 45 00:02:39,733 --> 00:02:41,653 Speaker 2: from Nowhere. She's going to give us her thoughts on 46 00:02:41,693 --> 00:02:45,093 Speaker 2: that biopic very shortly. Right now, it's nine minutes past nine. 47 00:02:45,693 --> 00:02:46,653 Speaker 4: Team. 48 00:02:47,173 --> 00:02:50,453 Speaker 2: It was such a rookie mistake. I was tramping in 49 00:02:50,453 --> 00:02:54,493 Speaker 2: the Kahoudangi last summer, the Douglas Range, one thousand or 50 00:02:54,493 --> 00:02:57,413 Speaker 2: maybe twelve hundred meters above sea level. And after we'd 51 00:02:57,453 --> 00:03:00,533 Speaker 2: pitched a tent, as the sun got heavy and the 52 00:03:00,573 --> 00:03:04,733 Speaker 2: surrounding hills cast their shadows long and deep, I realized 53 00:03:04,773 --> 00:03:12,493 Speaker 2: that I had screwed up big time. What made the 54 00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:15,013 Speaker 2: year so much worse was that it wasn't a bit 55 00:03:15,013 --> 00:03:20,213 Speaker 2: of absent minded forgetfulness on my part. I had carefully 56 00:03:20,373 --> 00:03:24,693 Speaker 2: considered my options before loading my pack. It wasn't that 57 00:03:24,733 --> 00:03:28,453 Speaker 2: I'd forgotten to bring long John's or pants. It's that 58 00:03:28,573 --> 00:03:32,653 Speaker 2: I'd chosen not to pack them. Up top, I had 59 00:03:32,653 --> 00:03:36,493 Speaker 2: a polyprop jumper and jacket, but down bottom I had 60 00:03:36,573 --> 00:03:44,853 Speaker 2: shorts and nothing else. Of Course, the only way to 61 00:03:44,933 --> 00:03:49,093 Speaker 2: keep sand flies from biting is to keep moving, and 62 00:03:49,173 --> 00:03:52,213 Speaker 2: the last thing you feel like doing after eight or 63 00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:56,733 Speaker 2: ten hours of steady climbing is keep moving, as if 64 00:03:56,773 --> 00:03:59,453 Speaker 2: to wallow in my own stupidity. I ended up treading 65 00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:04,053 Speaker 2: a middle ground, moving just enough so as not to rest, 66 00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:08,013 Speaker 2: but not enough to stop this sand flies from completely 67 00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:13,053 Speaker 2: devouring my calves. Still, I have had worse experiences with them. 68 00:04:13,533 --> 00:04:15,693 Speaker 2: I'll not forget my night at the mouth of the 69 00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:19,173 Speaker 2: Heathy River, where the swarms of sandflies were so thick 70 00:04:19,253 --> 00:04:23,093 Speaker 2: they hung in the skies like pockets of buzzing black smoke. 71 00:04:23,693 --> 00:04:25,893 Speaker 2: Walking by, you had to make sure to close your 72 00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:28,093 Speaker 2: mouth so as not to catch a little bit of 73 00:04:28,133 --> 00:04:32,693 Speaker 2: extra protein on your way. And you know what, I 74 00:04:32,733 --> 00:04:36,773 Speaker 2: would still take a sand fly over a biting gnat. 75 00:04:37,933 --> 00:04:41,453 Speaker 2: I once chose to visit one of Utah's national parks 76 00:04:41,533 --> 00:04:44,973 Speaker 2: on a Sunday, right in the middle of biting gnat season. 77 00:04:45,693 --> 00:04:48,973 Speaker 2: The locals call them moose flies, which I suppose could 78 00:04:48,973 --> 00:04:53,573 Speaker 2: be because they hang around moose, or just as feasibly 79 00:04:53,613 --> 00:04:58,013 Speaker 2: in my experience, because the gnats are a comparable size. 80 00:04:58,173 --> 00:05:00,133 Speaker 2: It wasn't just the itching that killed me, though my 81 00:05:00,213 --> 00:05:04,173 Speaker 2: bare legs were soon covered in blood from all of 82 00:05:04,213 --> 00:05:07,933 Speaker 2: their bites. I returned to ult Lake City to discover 83 00:05:08,093 --> 00:05:10,813 Speaker 2: every pharmacy closed for the rest of the weekend, and 84 00:05:10,853 --> 00:05:14,253 Speaker 2: spent the night lying in a tepid bath trying to 85 00:05:14,333 --> 00:05:19,773 Speaker 2: stave off shock. Often it's the obvious downside to natural beauty. 86 00:05:20,093 --> 00:05:23,613 Speaker 2: If it's a beautiful natural landscape, there will be something 87 00:05:23,653 --> 00:05:27,013 Speaker 2: that will give you an itchy bite. At least, there 88 00:05:27,053 --> 00:05:31,853 Speaker 2: is one place on Earth you could still safely wear shorts. Sure, 89 00:05:31,933 --> 00:05:35,013 Speaker 2: you might be a bit nippy striding down the streets 90 00:05:35,053 --> 00:05:38,413 Speaker 2: of Raykovic in your studies, but at the very least 91 00:05:38,413 --> 00:05:40,773 Speaker 2: you could be sure there were no sandflies. There were 92 00:05:40,813 --> 00:05:46,373 Speaker 2: no biting gnats, no midges, no moose flies, and no mossies. 93 00:05:47,693 --> 00:05:53,613 Speaker 2: That was at least until this week. Scientists have confirmed 94 00:05:53,813 --> 00:05:58,053 Speaker 2: that for the first time, the world's deadliest creature has 95 00:05:58,093 --> 00:06:04,013 Speaker 2: reached the last country on Earth. Iceland officially has mosquitoes, 96 00:06:05,493 --> 00:06:09,693 Speaker 2: and while sure Iceland is not the Amazon, they're not 97 00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:13,453 Speaker 2: at risk of a dingy fever outbreak anytime soon. You 98 00:06:13,493 --> 00:06:17,453 Speaker 2: can still safely leave the deat at home. The truth 99 00:06:17,533 --> 00:06:22,253 Speaker 2: is the discovery probably represents more than just an ecological quirk. 100 00:06:23,293 --> 00:06:28,053 Speaker 2: At an individual level, sure is a potential nuisance, especially 101 00:06:28,133 --> 00:06:30,733 Speaker 2: for those of us who like wearing shorts. But what 102 00:06:30,853 --> 00:06:33,853 Speaker 2: confirming mosquitoes and Iceland says about the state of the 103 00:06:33,933 --> 00:06:40,013 Speaker 2: planet is probably far, far more serious.

Mosquitoes are way more annoying in 118 00:07:24,853 --> 00:07:27,373 Speaker 2: my view. The different, hey, because the sand flies are 119 00:07:28,093 --> 00:07:30,333 Speaker 2: like the sand flies kind of hang around and swarms 120 00:07:30,373 --> 00:07:32,773 Speaker 2: and stuff. But you're totally right, Like you never hear 121 00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:36,693 Speaker 2: West Coasters moaning about sand flies. There's, for whatever reason, 122 00:07:36,693 --> 00:07:38,693 Speaker 2: after a day or two you've kind of acclimatized, and 123 00:07:38,693 --> 00:07:41,853 Speaker 2: then they get sick of eating you. The thing about 124 00:07:42,013 --> 00:07:44,373 Speaker 2: samd fly's too, is that then they don't get you 125 00:07:44,493 --> 00:07:46,333 Speaker 2: at two o'clock in the morning.

And that's the 174 00:09:57,293 --> 00:10:00,733 Speaker 5: main thing. You've got somewhere decent, you've got a decent bed, 175 00:10:00,493 --> 00:10:03,293 Speaker 5: you get stuck there. Yes, and I think we went 176 00:10:03,333 --> 00:10:07,853 Speaker 5: to a tiny little restaurant and the poor guy was 177 00:10:07,893 --> 00:10:08,893 Speaker 5: running out on his own. 178 00:10:09,173 --> 00:10:11,853 Speaker 4: But it was beautiful, beautiful meal. 179 00:10:12,213 --> 00:10:12,493 Speaker 7: It is. 180 00:10:12,613 --> 00:10:15,053 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's a beautiful part of the country 181 00:10:15,053 --> 00:10:16,733 Speaker 2: as well. You know. The thing I always think about 182 00:10:17,093 --> 00:10:20,053 Speaker 2: Murchison and this is a little bit, a little bit bleak, 183 00:10:20,533 --> 00:10:23,373 Speaker 2: but do you know back it would have been probably 184 00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:26,293 Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty hundred and thirty years ago, there 185 00:10:26,373 --> 00:10:30,533 Speaker 2: was a local farmer who was really unhappy and so 186 00:10:30,573 --> 00:10:35,293 Speaker 2: he went and strapped some dynamite to himself and detonated 187 00:10:35,413 --> 00:10:38,533 Speaker 2: himself at the local court. Like it was. But it 188 00:10:38,613 --> 00:10:40,493 Speaker 2: was actually dare I say it is rather a grim 189 00:10:40,533 --> 00:10:45,093 Speaker 2: world first, but quite an extraordinary like yeah, you know, 190 00:10:45,293 --> 00:10:47,533 Speaker 2: I think they call it the Murchison Incident or the 191 00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:50,293 Speaker 2: Murchison tragedy or something like that. But yeah, it was 192 00:10:50,453 --> 00:10:53,133 Speaker 2: this really sort of quirky and quite macab piece of 193 00:10:53,133 --> 00:10:54,013 Speaker 2: New Zealand history. 194 00:10:54,333 --> 00:10:58,933 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, anyway, everybody from the south will will remember 195 00:10:58,973 --> 00:11:00,653 Speaker 5: the earthquake, even if you lived in. 196 00:11:00,573 --> 00:11:04,253 Speaker 2: Greater Absolutely, yeah, of course it has been. Yes, I 197 00:11:04,293 --> 00:11:06,493 Speaker 2: suppose it's just a part of the country where all 198 00:11:06,493 --> 00:11:08,773 Speaker 2: sorts of interesting historical little things. 199 00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:09,573 Speaker 4: Yes. 200 00:11:09,653 --> 00:11:12,813 Speaker 2: Anyway, Kevin, you've got a story for us this morning 201 00:11:12,813 --> 00:11:14,333 Speaker 2: about a visit to the dentist. 202 00:11:14,693 --> 00:11:16,493 Speaker 5: Well, a very funny thing happened to me during the 203 00:11:16,493 --> 00:11:19,773 Speaker 5: wheat act. It all started a few weeks ago when 204 00:11:19,813 --> 00:11:22,093 Speaker 5: one of my wisdom teeth got a bit wobbly and 205 00:11:22,133 --> 00:11:24,893 Speaker 5: I decided it probably needed to come out, so I 206 00:11:24,933 --> 00:11:28,653 Speaker 5: went to the dentist. I have issues with dental extractions 207 00:11:28,733 --> 00:11:31,733 Speaker 5: because I'm on blood thinners, so I have to manage 208 00:11:31,773 --> 00:11:34,733 Speaker 5: my meds leading up to an extraction so I don't 209 00:11:34,773 --> 00:11:38,173 Speaker 5: bleed too much when the tooth pulled out. But dentists 210 00:11:38,213 --> 00:11:42,573 Speaker 5: agreed that my wisdom teeth tooth should come out. But 211 00:11:42,653 --> 00:11:45,213 Speaker 5: she didn't want to be doing it herself. She pointed 212 00:11:45,213 --> 00:11:48,893 Speaker 5: out that, apart from the blood thinners, the steroids that 213 00:11:48,973 --> 00:11:52,893 Speaker 5: I'm also depended on can occasionally react to other drugs 214 00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:56,533 Speaker 5: used in dentistry. Anyway, she said she'd refer me on 215 00:11:56,973 --> 00:12:00,093 Speaker 5: to an oral surgeon in Wellington who'd be better qualified 216 00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:03,373 Speaker 5: to manage my blood thinners and deal with any steroid 217 00:12:03,413 --> 00:12:06,933 Speaker 5: problems should they arise. His fees would be high, but 218 00:12:07,053 --> 00:12:09,253 Speaker 5: she felt it was a sense of option and I 219 00:12:09,293 --> 00:12:11,613 Speaker 5: agreed with it. A week or so later, I was 220 00:12:11,653 --> 00:12:18,013 Speaker 5: contact by the oral surgeon's reception an appointment made for yesterday. Meantime, 221 00:12:18,053 --> 00:12:20,933 Speaker 5: I had to fill out a post operation instruction sheet, 222 00:12:21,213 --> 00:12:26,013 Speaker 5: a lengthy questionnaire outlining my personal details, my health issues, 223 00:12:26,293 --> 00:12:31,253 Speaker 5: my current medications, and my health insurance details. Again no 224 00:12:31,373 --> 00:12:34,373 Speaker 5: complaints about all this, except that it was turning into 225 00:12:34,733 --> 00:12:38,813 Speaker 5: the most lengthy and complex dental appointment I'd had in 226 00:12:38,853 --> 00:12:42,533 Speaker 5: my life, and my tooth wasn't getting any better. But 227 00:12:42,693 --> 00:12:49,253 Speaker 5: yesterday's specialist appointment never happened. On Thursday, my tooth fell out. 228 00:12:49,893 --> 00:12:52,493 Speaker 5: I touched it with my tongue and it just fell out. 229 00:12:53,213 --> 00:12:53,613 Speaker 8: And while I. 230 00:12:53,573 --> 00:12:55,253 Speaker 5: Wouldn't want that to happen to all the rest of 231 00:12:55,333 --> 00:12:58,693 Speaker 5: my teeth, Jack. It seemed to me the perfect extraction, 232 00:12:59,333 --> 00:13:05,133 Speaker 5: no dentistry, no pain, no bleeding, no reactions, and no 233 00:13:05,253 --> 00:13:06,573 Speaker 5: bill out. 234 00:13:06,893 --> 00:13:13,013 Speaker 2: That's there's a relief in a sense, although it's always 235 00:13:13,053 --> 00:13:15,413 Speaker 2: slightly disconcerting when things like that happen as well. And 236 00:13:15,413 --> 00:13:17,133 Speaker 2: how weird does it feel afterwards? 237 00:13:17,893 --> 00:13:20,813 Speaker 5: Yes, that's right, And as I say, yes, I wouldn't 238 00:13:20,853 --> 00:13:23,013 Speaker 5: mind that to go, I wouldn't mind rmit teeth to 239 00:13:23,093 --> 00:13:26,013 Speaker 5: disappear in the same way, but it certainly put an 240 00:13:26,093 --> 00:13:29,053 Speaker 5: end to the complications of that of that particular part. 241 00:13:29,173 --> 00:13:31,093 Speaker 2: Do you ask, do you know why it's why it 242 00:13:31,213 --> 00:13:34,333 Speaker 2: just fell out? Kevin, No, it's no sort of well 243 00:13:34,493 --> 00:13:37,533 Speaker 2: radio got around the mill, household or anything that you 244 00:13:37,573 --> 00:13:38,533 Speaker 2: haven't noticed. 245 00:13:38,613 --> 00:13:41,213 Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I think wisdom teeth can be a bit 246 00:13:41,373 --> 00:13:44,133 Speaker 5: like that. Yeah, because your guns at the back there, 247 00:13:44,173 --> 00:13:45,773 Speaker 5: when you get a bit older, they get a bit. 248 00:13:47,533 --> 00:13:48,173 Speaker 4: Ineffective. 249 00:13:48,373 --> 00:13:50,893 Speaker 2: Yeah right, Okay, Well, look I'm glad at the very 250 00:13:50,973 --> 00:13:52,613 Speaker 2: least that it'll save you some pain. So thank you 251 00:13:52,653 --> 00:13:55,613 Speaker 2: for that, keep it for this this morning, and thank 252 00:13:55,613 --> 00:13:58,373 Speaker 2: you for your feedback.

So 260 00:14:18,213 --> 00:14:20,173 Speaker 2: we're thinking of you at the moment.

In twenty sixteen, I had the great 266 00:14:38,213 --> 00:14:41,653 Speaker 2: pleasure and privilege of going to see Bruce Springsteen perform 267 00:14:41,653 --> 00:14:43,933 Speaker 2: at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and at the time 268 00:14:43,973 --> 00:14:47,253 Speaker 2: it was his longest ever concert. So he played for 269 00:14:47,333 --> 00:14:49,333 Speaker 2: four hours. He and the E Street Band played for 270 00:14:49,373 --> 00:14:52,173 Speaker 2: four hours. I'm gonna be honest with you, it was 271 00:14:52,213 --> 00:14:57,013 Speaker 2: too long. By the end. I was like, I get it, 272 00:14:57,093 --> 00:14:59,693 Speaker 2: I get it. You know, is there anyone here from 273 00:14:59,693 --> 00:15:02,493 Speaker 2: a small town? Yep, yep, I think I got the 274 00:15:02,493 --> 00:15:06,373 Speaker 2: stack banks Bruce.

I'm very grateful for it, but I'm also 277 00:15:11,653 --> 00:15:14,173 Speaker 2: grateful that I'm not going to another four hour concert anyway. 278 00:15:14,173 --> 00:15:16,853 Speaker 2: I've double checked the length of the Springsteen film, so 279 00:15:16,973 --> 00:15:19,973 Speaker 2: Springsteen Delivered Me from Nowhere is less than two and 280 00:15:19,973 --> 00:15:23,893 Speaker 2: a half hours, so ninety minutes shorter than that concert 281 00:15:23,933 --> 00:15:26,453 Speaker 2: was at MetLife Stadium a couple of years ago. But 282 00:15:26,493 --> 00:15:28,733 Speaker 2: it stars Jeremy Allen White, the guy from The Bear. 283 00:15:28,893 --> 00:15:31,893 Speaker 2: It's actually kind of amazing how similar he and young 284 00:15:31,933 --> 00:15:35,933 Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen look to each other. He's perfectly cast. So 285 00:15:35,973 --> 00:15:37,933 Speaker 2: we're going to get our film reviewers thoughts on that 286 00:15:38,013 --> 00:15:40,453 Speaker 2: biopic very shortly.

I think, Jack, I 322 00:17:19,933 --> 00:17:22,893 Speaker 10: know who you'll be going for, and I'm as far 323 00:17:22,933 --> 00:17:25,053 Speaker 10: as the head's concerned, I'm sort of leaning a little 324 00:17:25,093 --> 00:17:28,173 Speaker 10: bit towards Canterbury because they've got a lot more super 325 00:17:28,253 --> 00:17:30,213 Speaker 10: rugby players in that team. They've got all blacks on 326 00:17:30,293 --> 00:17:32,773 Speaker 10: that team. They've got some big, big game experience, even 327 00:17:32,773 --> 00:17:34,773 Speaker 10: though they haven't won the NPC for seven eight years. 328 00:17:34,813 --> 00:17:37,973 Speaker 10: I think it is there's that big game experience as 329 00:17:38,013 --> 00:17:41,693 Speaker 10: a hometown advantage. However, Gee, I've loved watching this Otago 330 00:17:41,813 --> 00:17:46,533 Speaker 10: team this year. Guys like Dylan Pledger, Lucas Casey, the 331 00:17:46,613 --> 00:17:49,533 Speaker 10: young flanker who are going to have long, long futures 332 00:17:50,093 --> 00:17:54,373 Speaker 10: in the game. They've been fantastic to watch. This Otago 333 00:17:54,453 --> 00:17:57,333 Speaker 10: team reminds me of the side of the nineties who 334 00:17:57,373 --> 00:17:59,213 Speaker 10: won the title a couple of times. 335 00:17:59,653 --> 00:18:01,493 Speaker 4: They play with. 336 00:18:01,533 --> 00:18:04,813 Speaker 10: A lot of womp up front, but also play with 337 00:18:04,893 --> 00:18:08,253 Speaker 10: a lot of abandoned throwing the ball around out Why 338 00:18:08,493 --> 00:18:09,973 Speaker 10: so this should be a good game. 339 00:18:10,053 --> 00:18:12,853 Speaker 2: Should be a good game. Yeah, I think it'd be amazing. 340 00:18:12,893 --> 00:18:16,173 Speaker 2: And as much as, of course the hearts is Canterbury, 341 00:18:16,893 --> 00:18:19,013 Speaker 2: the heart also says that if Cannbury were to go 342 00:18:19,093 --> 00:18:22,293 Speaker 2: down and Otago were to get up, I'm not going 343 00:18:22,373 --> 00:18:25,533 Speaker 2: to lose a moment's sleep. I'd be I'd be delighted 344 00:18:25,533 --> 00:18:27,293 Speaker 2: for a Tiger if they did get up. Yeah, you know, 345 00:18:27,413 --> 00:18:31,253 Speaker 2: I'm still the loyalties aren't being tested as such, but 346 00:18:33,133 --> 00:18:34,653 Speaker 2: it would be. It would be fantastic. 347 00:18:35,093 --> 00:18:37,293 Speaker 10: I think my head, my head goes with Canterbury because 348 00:18:37,293 --> 00:18:40,293 Speaker 10: of that big game experience. But the heart rugby heart 349 00:18:40,293 --> 00:18:42,053 Speaker 10: would want to see you know, a province that hasn't 350 00:18:42,053 --> 00:18:44,173 Speaker 10: won it for nearly thirty years. Yeah, it only won 351 00:18:44,213 --> 00:18:49,333 Speaker 10: it twice in fifty years. Wouldn't mind seeing Otago? Would 352 00:18:49,333 --> 00:18:51,813 Speaker 10: It'd be great for the game in the South too. 353 00:18:52,013 --> 00:18:55,053 Speaker 2: So how much are you reading into this situation with 354 00:18:55,613 --> 00:18:58,733 Speaker 2: Allback's assistant coach Jason Holland deciding not to hang around. 355 00:18:59,413 --> 00:18:59,733 Speaker 11: Yeah. 356 00:18:59,773 --> 00:19:03,293 Speaker 10: Look, I think the bottom line is Jack if he 357 00:19:03,373 --> 00:19:08,333 Speaker 10: was still enjoying his role, yeah, and was offered another deal, 358 00:19:08,653 --> 00:19:11,133 Speaker 10: in which I'd imagine he would have been if he 359 00:19:11,173 --> 00:19:14,093 Speaker 10: was enjoying it. Look, I think Jason Hollands a pretty 360 00:19:14,093 --> 00:19:18,053 Speaker 10: good coach. He had he had some good a good 361 00:19:18,093 --> 00:19:21,293 Speaker 10: run with the Hurricanes, a super super rugby head coach. 362 00:19:21,813 --> 00:19:25,173 Speaker 10: I think if he was enjoying the environment that overused word, 363 00:19:25,213 --> 00:19:27,773 Speaker 10: and if he was enjoying coaching and loving coaching at 364 00:19:27,773 --> 00:19:30,013 Speaker 10: that level, and let's face it, it's a coach's dream 365 00:19:30,093 --> 00:19:33,133 Speaker 10: job to be involved with your black somehow, he would 366 00:19:33,173 --> 00:19:36,813 Speaker 10: be staying on. I just don't think he's enjoying that 367 00:19:37,333 --> 00:19:41,453 Speaker 10: environment at the moment. And unfortunately I'm hearing that from 368 00:19:41,533 --> 00:19:44,973 Speaker 10: a few people right that things just continue not to 369 00:19:45,053 --> 00:19:47,893 Speaker 10: click in this all Black side. Maybe they will on 370 00:19:47,933 --> 00:19:50,013 Speaker 10: this Grand Slam Tour, they get away from home, they 371 00:19:50,053 --> 00:19:52,933 Speaker 10: get away from it all four big big games in 372 00:19:52,933 --> 00:19:57,693 Speaker 10: a row, especially Ireland and England, maybe they'll win for 373 00:19:57,853 --> 00:20:00,493 Speaker 10: in a row and things will pick up. But I 374 00:20:00,573 --> 00:20:06,013 Speaker 10: just think given another season of almost one step forward 375 00:20:06,053 --> 00:20:08,253 Speaker 10: to Star, it's back, you know, I'm hearing that that 376 00:20:08,653 --> 00:20:11,293 Speaker 10: things are going to have to improve if this team 377 00:20:11,293 --> 00:20:12,773 Speaker 10: wants to keep on winning consistently. 378 00:20:12,973 --> 00:20:15,613 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. I will watch the space, I guess, 379 00:20:15,693 --> 00:20:18,613 Speaker 2: especially with that upcoming Northern Tour and pretty disappointing in 380 00:20:18,613 --> 00:20:20,813 Speaker 2: the end for the White fans missing the semi final 381 00:20:20,853 --> 00:20:21,453 Speaker 2: in the World Cup. 382 00:20:22,373 --> 00:20:24,733 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just just quickly on this. I think, look, 383 00:20:24,853 --> 00:20:26,773 Speaker 10: no matter how hard they work, and I'm sure they have. 384 00:20:26,853 --> 00:20:29,613 Speaker 10: They trained hard before the Cup and the you know, 385 00:20:29,653 --> 00:20:31,813 Speaker 10: the rain's been frustrating. Let's face it, I still don't 386 00:20:31,853 --> 00:20:33,453 Speaker 10: know if they would have made the top four even 387 00:20:33,493 --> 00:20:36,933 Speaker 10: if those games hadn't been rained off. I think it's 388 00:20:37,133 --> 00:20:39,813 Speaker 10: it's a numbers game jack at that level, and New 389 00:20:39,893 --> 00:20:44,173 Speaker 10: Zealand just doesn't have the playing base of these other nations. Yes, 390 00:20:44,213 --> 00:20:46,373 Speaker 10: they'd continue to do well in the odd T twenty 391 00:20:46,653 --> 00:20:50,053 Speaker 10: match and the odd T twenty tournament, but one day 392 00:20:50,253 --> 00:20:54,653 Speaker 10: is more a test of cricketing depth and talent and 393 00:20:54,693 --> 00:20:58,573 Speaker 10: not only fifty overs, but then you move towards test matches, 394 00:20:58,613 --> 00:21:02,253 Speaker 10: which yeah, this team barely ever plays these days. If ever, 395 00:21:04,253 --> 00:21:08,733 Speaker 10: it's a bigger test of depth and talent, and I 396 00:21:08,733 --> 00:21:11,493 Speaker 10: think this Whitefoon's team has. 397 00:21:11,373 --> 00:21:13,573 Speaker 4: Been found out. Will it improved in the future, I 398 00:21:13,613 --> 00:21:13,933 Speaker 4: hope so. 399 00:21:14,173 --> 00:21:16,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. I enjoy the game this afternoon. 400 00:21:16,453 --> 00:21:19,213 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a busy afternoon because you've got AFC 401 00:21:19,373 --> 00:21:22,173 Speaker 2: Awkland FC playing at five pm I think, so, the 402 00:21:22,253 --> 00:21:25,333 Speaker 2: kickoff of the NBC Finals just after four, and then 403 00:21:25,413 --> 00:21:27,493 Speaker 2: yeah AFC at five o'clock Thank you very much, sayre 404 00:21:27,933 --> 00:21:30,773 Speaker 2: Andrew savil our Sporto with us there before ten o'clock. 405 00:21:30,773 --> 00:21:32,773 Speaker 2: We're in the kitchen. Our cook has a recipe for 406 00:21:32,853 --> 00:21:36,413 Speaker 2: roast chicken with grapes. I like that. I like just 407 00:21:36,453 --> 00:21:38,733 Speaker 2: a little bit of like sweetness just to kind office things, 408 00:21:38,813 --> 00:21:40,453 Speaker 2: especially in the shoulder season. 409 00:21:40,133 --> 00:21:40,373 Speaker 4: You know. 410 00:21:40,453 --> 00:21:42,253 Speaker 2: So she's going to share that with us very so. 411 00:21:42,373 --> 00:21:44,453 Speaker 2: Next up, though we've got your film picks for this weekend, 412 00:21:44,493 --> 00:21:49,373 Speaker 2: including our film reviewers. Thoughts on Springsteen. Right now, it's 413 00:21:49,413 --> 00:21:50,333 Speaker 2: twenty seven to ten. 414 00:21:55,173 --> 00:22:11,093 Speaker 12: Start, well, is there anyone here from a small town? 415 00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:16,813 Speaker 2: I shouldn't be so for seasons. It's a classic. It's 416 00:22:16,813 --> 00:22:20,133 Speaker 2: an absolute classic. Twenty four minutes to ten, nine news 417 00:22:20,133 --> 00:22:22,293 Speaker 2: storks he'd be That is, of course, Bruce Springsteen and 418 00:22:22,413 --> 00:22:25,693 Speaker 2: Dancing in the Dark. Francesca Rudkin is our film reviewer. 419 00:22:25,773 --> 00:22:26,733 Speaker 2: She's here with us this morning. 420 00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:27,253 Speaker 12: Killed her. 421 00:22:27,853 --> 00:22:28,453 Speaker 13: Good morning. 422 00:22:29,373 --> 00:22:30,973 Speaker 2: I've been saying things that are going to get me 423 00:22:30,973 --> 00:22:32,813 Speaker 2: in trouble with Bruce Springsteen this morning, which is just 424 00:22:32,853 --> 00:22:34,933 Speaker 2: out of line, because I actually do really enjoy his 425 00:22:35,293 --> 00:22:37,733 Speaker 2: music and kind of much you know that he represents, 426 00:22:38,533 --> 00:22:41,293 Speaker 2: and I have been keenly waiting for the release of 427 00:22:41,333 --> 00:22:43,413 Speaker 2: this latest film to see how it would all go down. 428 00:22:43,453 --> 00:22:46,373 Speaker 2: So this is Springsteen Deliver Me from Nowhere. 429 00:22:46,773 --> 00:22:49,173 Speaker 4: She's what I want you to understand. This is not 430 00:22:49,333 --> 00:22:53,053 Speaker 4: about either one of us. This is not about the charts. 431 00:22:55,533 --> 00:23:03,093 Speaker 3: This is about Bruce Springsteen, and these are the songs 432 00:23:03,293 --> 00:23:04,733 Speaker 3: that he wants to work on right now. 433 00:23:05,013 --> 00:23:12,053 Speaker 2: So the latest and a bit of a line of 434 00:23:12,493 --> 00:23:13,773 Speaker 2: musical biopics. 435 00:23:14,053 --> 00:23:16,773 Speaker 14: Yeah, it's just thing. You should say that. Actually, because 436 00:23:16,773 --> 00:23:18,773 Speaker 14: there wasn't a screening for this film, there was no 437 00:23:18,773 --> 00:23:21,333 Speaker 14: press screening, which is always a little concerning. So on 438 00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:24,013 Speaker 14: Thursday afternoon, I popped up to my local belido and 439 00:23:24,213 --> 00:23:26,133 Speaker 14: I snuck in the wind and watched this film. And 440 00:23:26,173 --> 00:23:27,933 Speaker 14: as I was going in, I was texting my son 441 00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:29,693 Speaker 14: and he said, I said I was going to see 442 00:23:29,733 --> 00:23:31,653 Speaker 14: this film, and he text me back to say, can't 443 00:23:31,693 --> 00:23:34,573 Speaker 14: wait to hear about the inevitable three star review. All 444 00:23:34,653 --> 00:23:39,213 Speaker 14: music biopics deserve a little bit cheeky of him. Yeah, 445 00:23:39,693 --> 00:23:41,093 Speaker 14: but actually he hit the nail on the head. 446 00:23:41,133 --> 00:23:41,733 Speaker 6: You're right, Jack. 447 00:23:41,853 --> 00:23:43,573 Speaker 14: We have a lot of these films and they generally 448 00:23:43,653 --> 00:23:46,333 Speaker 14: do follow the same narrative beat. You have an artist 449 00:23:46,373 --> 00:23:48,573 Speaker 14: overcoming odds and making it. Then there's the dealing with 450 00:23:48,613 --> 00:23:51,333 Speaker 14: the price of fame and losing one thousand. These films 451 00:23:51,373 --> 00:23:54,333 Speaker 14: do have sort of a very familiar narrative beat to them, 452 00:23:54,773 --> 00:23:57,333 Speaker 14: and I think also the other problem with films like 453 00:23:57,373 --> 00:24:00,133 Speaker 14: this is there is a certain point where its actors 454 00:24:00,173 --> 00:24:02,613 Speaker 14: love to take them on because they often went awards 455 00:24:02,613 --> 00:24:05,693 Speaker 14: for them. But also these films require a certain amount 456 00:24:05,693 --> 00:24:09,853 Speaker 14: of trying to you're partly impersonating someone that we know 457 00:24:09,973 --> 00:24:12,653 Speaker 14: and love so much, and especially someone who's still alive 458 00:24:12,773 --> 00:24:17,293 Speaker 14: like Bruce, who is just a legend, and sort of 459 00:24:17,293 --> 00:24:19,013 Speaker 14: trying to make the character your own and take us 460 00:24:19,053 --> 00:24:21,853 Speaker 14: on a story. So it is very, very tricky. Jeremy 461 00:24:21,853 --> 00:24:23,893 Speaker 14: Allen White, I think, does a really good job here 462 00:24:23,893 --> 00:24:27,493 Speaker 14: of being a tortured artist. And I think, look, there's 463 00:24:27,533 --> 00:24:29,853 Speaker 14: only about three or four scenes where you see Bruce 464 00:24:29,893 --> 00:24:32,133 Speaker 14: playing on a stage. This is not like a big 465 00:24:32,253 --> 00:24:36,893 Speaker 14: kind of concert a film at all. But when he 466 00:24:36,933 --> 00:24:39,573 Speaker 14: does perform and the way he performs, he does capture 467 00:24:39,613 --> 00:24:43,213 Speaker 14: all Bruce Springsteen's mannerism, So he does. They start with 468 00:24:43,253 --> 00:24:44,893 Speaker 14: a shot of him on stage, They kind of do 469 00:24:45,053 --> 00:24:47,453 Speaker 14: draw you in, but because he doesn't really look anything 470 00:24:47,613 --> 00:24:50,413 Speaker 14: like him and things, you're able to sort of step 471 00:24:50,453 --> 00:24:53,573 Speaker 14: back a little bit and go, Okay, I'm following the 472 00:24:53,613 --> 00:24:56,733 Speaker 14: story of this artist, rather than sitting there kind of 473 00:24:56,733 --> 00:25:00,173 Speaker 14: going this is Bruce. You know, yeah, it's quite good. 474 00:25:00,173 --> 00:25:02,053 Speaker 14: He doesn't quite look the same. But this is a 475 00:25:02,053 --> 00:25:05,573 Speaker 14: bit like a complete unknown in the sense that they've 476 00:25:05,773 --> 00:25:09,133 Speaker 14: just narrowed down on a very specific time in Bruce's 477 00:25:09,813 --> 00:25:14,013 Speaker 14: long career. And it's set during the making of the 478 00:25:14,093 --> 00:25:18,333 Speaker 14: acoustic album Nebraska. So it's nineteen eighty one. Springsteen's in 479 00:25:18,333 --> 00:25:20,813 Speaker 14: his early thirties. He's just come off the hugely successful 480 00:25:20,893 --> 00:25:23,453 Speaker 14: River Tour. He's trying to settle back into New Jersey. 481 00:25:23,693 --> 00:25:25,653 Speaker 14: The pressure is on him to make a new album 482 00:25:25,773 --> 00:25:28,333 Speaker 14: to really, you know, profit on this momentum that he has. 483 00:25:28,693 --> 00:25:31,693 Speaker 14: So there's that sort of commercial versus artistic theme in here, 484 00:25:32,213 --> 00:25:36,453 Speaker 14: artist theme in here. He's really just a bit lost. 485 00:25:36,493 --> 00:25:39,093 Speaker 14: He's burnt out, he's exhausted, he's back in his hometown. 486 00:25:39,253 --> 00:25:42,493 Speaker 14: He's having a lot of He's reminded a lot of 487 00:25:42,493 --> 00:25:44,893 Speaker 14: his childhood and Listen to Me is a bit ponderous. 488 00:25:44,893 --> 00:25:46,573 Speaker 14: In the film, we do a lot of flashbacks to 489 00:25:46,613 --> 00:25:49,533 Speaker 14: his childhood. We see his abusive and alcoholic father and 490 00:25:49,533 --> 00:25:51,093 Speaker 14: see the family life, and I think there's a bit 491 00:25:51,213 --> 00:25:54,293 Speaker 14: much of that. It's sort of just dragged the film down. 492 00:25:54,373 --> 00:25:56,533 Speaker 14: But we got the message. We didn't need to spend 493 00:25:56,533 --> 00:25:59,373 Speaker 14: so much time there. And this is all bearing down 494 00:25:59,413 --> 00:26:03,533 Speaker 14: on him and the demon starts sort of arising, and 495 00:26:03,613 --> 00:26:05,933 Speaker 14: he's making two albums that this is something I didn't 496 00:26:05,973 --> 00:26:08,293 Speaker 14: know you just played Dancing in the Dark off the 497 00:26:09,373 --> 00:26:11,533 Speaker 14: Born in the USA album released in nineteen ninety four, 498 00:26:11,733 --> 00:26:15,093 Speaker 14: recorded at the same time as Nebraska. So he was 499 00:26:15,133 --> 00:26:17,813 Speaker 14: in the studio recording these two completely separate albums. He 500 00:26:17,853 --> 00:26:22,093 Speaker 14: was recording this great carlor rock album, you know, at 501 00:26:22,093 --> 00:26:24,613 Speaker 14: the same time. He was completely obsessed. He didn't want 502 00:26:24,653 --> 00:26:26,893 Speaker 14: he just wanted to shout those songs. He says, I 503 00:26:26,893 --> 00:26:29,253 Speaker 14: can't deal with those songs, and of course the record companies. 504 00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:32,173 Speaker 2: Go there is after yeah, yeah. 505 00:26:33,213 --> 00:26:35,773 Speaker 14: He said, no, I'm obsessed with these songs that I 506 00:26:35,973 --> 00:26:38,293 Speaker 14: have to write as an artist and as a person. 507 00:26:38,733 --> 00:26:41,573 Speaker 14: It's a sorrow I have to write these songs on 508 00:26:41,613 --> 00:26:44,333 Speaker 14: the Nebraska album, And when he released it, he said, 509 00:26:44,373 --> 00:26:47,053 Speaker 14: no press, no singles, no nothing, just release it. And 510 00:26:47,093 --> 00:26:49,453 Speaker 14: of course, once again the Brical Company's tearing its hair 511 00:26:49,533 --> 00:26:52,373 Speaker 14: and it went to number three. And so it's really 512 00:26:52,453 --> 00:26:54,653 Speaker 14: so the problem with the film is we are following 513 00:26:54,653 --> 00:26:57,333 Speaker 14: a man who is it's a very introbuted film. He 514 00:26:57,533 --> 00:27:01,213 Speaker 14: is sliding into depression. He is losing himself, and that's 515 00:27:01,253 --> 00:27:04,933 Speaker 14: something which is you know, hard to capture on screen. 516 00:27:05,013 --> 00:27:08,813 Speaker 14: So we really watch him making record in his bedroom. Now, 517 00:27:08,853 --> 00:27:11,653 Speaker 14: if you loved Rocketman, if you love Bohemian Rhapsody, if 518 00:27:11,693 --> 00:27:14,693 Speaker 14: you like those big, glossy, fun, lots of music kind 519 00:27:14,693 --> 00:27:17,813 Speaker 14: of biopics, this is not for you. This is a 520 00:27:17,973 --> 00:27:21,493 Speaker 14: very sort of small, insular film about a man slipping 521 00:27:21,493 --> 00:27:25,173 Speaker 14: into depression. And it is slow at times, and it 522 00:27:25,213 --> 00:27:28,173 Speaker 14: is ponderous at times. Personally, I quite enjoyed it. I 523 00:27:28,213 --> 00:27:29,933 Speaker 14: was quite happy to sit back and let it happen. 524 00:27:30,013 --> 00:27:33,173 Speaker 14: I love Bruce learned a bit from the movie. But 525 00:27:33,253 --> 00:27:35,093 Speaker 14: the sun's right, Jack, It's probably a three out of five. 526 00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:40,213 Speaker 2: Ah okay. Interesting. So what what is it about these 527 00:27:40,413 --> 00:27:43,053 Speaker 2: musical biopics at the moment, Because, I mean, we have 528 00:27:43,173 --> 00:27:46,293 Speaker 2: had so many, right, we've had But you had the 529 00:27:46,333 --> 00:27:49,973 Speaker 2: Bob Marley, you had the Amy Winehouse one. Like you say, 530 00:27:50,013 --> 00:27:53,013 Speaker 2: you had the Yeah, I mean there have been heabes. 531 00:27:53,973 --> 00:27:55,973 Speaker 14: Well, we love these stories and they don't They are 532 00:27:56,053 --> 00:27:58,893 Speaker 14: great stories, and we love the music. I think a 533 00:27:58,893 --> 00:28:01,613 Speaker 14: lot of the time we go, you know, I walked 534 00:28:01,613 --> 00:28:04,453 Speaker 14: out like most people. Well and you put on Nebraska. 535 00:28:04,493 --> 00:28:07,493 Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of go. I don't know. 536 00:28:07,613 --> 00:28:09,533 Speaker 14: I mean, I do think that they do tell great stories. 537 00:28:09,533 --> 00:28:10,493 Speaker 14: I just think we're and. 538 00:28:10,413 --> 00:28:13,613 Speaker 2: They probably sell. They're probably selling to a bit of nostalgia, 539 00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:13,933 Speaker 2: you know. 540 00:28:14,533 --> 00:28:15,573 Speaker 14: Yeah, Yeah, And I think we. 541 00:28:15,813 --> 00:28:16,293 Speaker 11: I think we. 542 00:28:18,053 --> 00:28:21,093 Speaker 14: I appreciate what directors Scott Cooper's tried to do here. 543 00:28:21,173 --> 00:28:23,253 Speaker 14: He has tried to do it a little bit differently 544 00:28:23,293 --> 00:28:25,613 Speaker 14: and present it to us a story about Bruce in 545 00:28:25,613 --> 00:28:26,853 Speaker 14: a little bit of a different manner. 546 00:28:27,093 --> 00:28:30,693 Speaker 2: Yeah, ah man, Okay, all right, well it sounds sounds interesting. 547 00:28:30,733 --> 00:28:32,413 Speaker 2: But yeah, three out of five? 548 00:28:32,453 --> 00:28:32,773 Speaker 11: All right. 549 00:28:32,773 --> 00:28:36,173 Speaker 2: So let's Springsteen delivered me from Nowhere. This is something 550 00:28:36,213 --> 00:28:39,253 Speaker 2: completely different. It's a film called Four Mothers. 551 00:28:39,533 --> 00:28:41,653 Speaker 4: Hello, hi, Edward. 552 00:28:41,893 --> 00:28:44,173 Speaker 15: We decided to run away to Musk along with Pride 553 00:28:44,173 --> 00:28:47,173 Speaker 15: for three days and me from arms with you Abandons. 554 00:28:47,173 --> 00:28:53,413 Speaker 2: The Mother belongs Pride of our Things. And this is 555 00:28:53,653 --> 00:28:56,413 Speaker 2: in cinemas later this week as part of the British 556 00:28:56,453 --> 00:28:58,693 Speaker 2: and Irish Film Festival. So tell us about four Mothers. 557 00:28:59,373 --> 00:29:02,533 Speaker 14: Oh look, this is a real charm. This is just hilarious. 558 00:29:02,573 --> 00:29:05,133 Speaker 14: It's droll, it's a cubic wit. I was laughing at 559 00:29:05,213 --> 00:29:07,413 Speaker 14: loud the middle of this film started. It tells the 560 00:29:07,453 --> 00:29:10,013 Speaker 14: story of Edward. He's a thirty something Irish writer. He's 561 00:29:10,013 --> 00:29:12,773 Speaker 14: had huge success at home with the young adult novel 562 00:29:12,813 --> 00:29:14,653 Speaker 14: he's just released, and it's about to be launched in 563 00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:17,613 Speaker 14: America and they're anticipating it's going to be huge, so 564 00:29:17,653 --> 00:29:20,173 Speaker 14: they're planning a book tour. He's very excited. The only 565 00:29:20,173 --> 00:29:23,253 Speaker 14: problem is that Edward is the sole caretaker for his mother, 566 00:29:23,293 --> 00:29:25,733 Speaker 14: who's had a stroke. Resume can no longer talk, and 567 00:29:25,773 --> 00:29:28,853 Speaker 14: he's very torn between, you know, looking after his mother 568 00:29:29,013 --> 00:29:31,133 Speaker 14: and his career and things. And just as he's trying 569 00:29:31,133 --> 00:29:33,213 Speaker 14: to work all this out, three of his gay friends, 570 00:29:33,333 --> 00:29:35,933 Speaker 14: also exhausted from looking after their mother's ditch them on 571 00:29:36,093 --> 00:29:38,213 Speaker 14: edwards doorstep and head off to this pride long weekend 572 00:29:38,213 --> 00:29:40,693 Speaker 14: of fun. And it's this really great premise and this 573 00:29:40,813 --> 00:29:43,213 Speaker 14: fabulous setup for this cast. They will niggle at each 574 00:29:43,213 --> 00:29:45,293 Speaker 14: other and compete, and Edward's run ragged trying to cater 575 00:29:45,373 --> 00:29:47,093 Speaker 14: to them wall and get into their appointments and things. 576 00:29:47,773 --> 00:29:51,013 Speaker 14: So it's lots of fun, but also it's quite a 577 00:29:51,053 --> 00:29:55,053 Speaker 14: sweet film about aging about gay adults navigating the relationships 578 00:29:55,093 --> 00:29:58,053 Speaker 14: with their meddling mothers. And it explores grief and loneliness 579 00:29:58,053 --> 00:30:02,213 Speaker 14: and things. But look an absolute delight, great Irish humor 580 00:30:02,293 --> 00:30:04,733 Speaker 14: coming through here. British and Irish Film Festival kicks off 581 00:30:04,773 --> 00:30:07,133 Speaker 14: on the twenty ninth of October. It's going all around 582 00:30:07,173 --> 00:30:10,013 Speaker 14: the country in the nineteenth of November. There's lots to 583 00:30:10,053 --> 00:30:10,493 Speaker 14: look forward to. 584 00:30:10,693 --> 00:30:14,053 Speaker 2: Oh amazing, Yeah, okay, that sounds really good. So those 585 00:30:14,133 --> 00:30:17,653 Speaker 2: films once again. The first one is of course Springsteen 586 00:30:17,733 --> 00:30:20,573 Speaker 2: Delivered Me from Nowhere and Four Mothers is screening as 587 00:30:20,613 --> 00:30:22,653 Speaker 2: part of the British and Irish Film Festival. That's and 588 00:30:22,693 --> 00:30:25,373 Speaker 2: cinemas from Thursday of this week. We have all the 589 00:30:25,413 --> 00:30:27,493 Speaker 2: details for those on the news talks. He'd be website 590 00:30:27,813 --> 00:30:29,853 Speaker 2: after ten o'clock this morning as well. We're going to 591 00:30:29,853 --> 00:30:33,333 Speaker 2: stick with the film theme. Our feature interview is John Boyeger, 592 00:30:33,773 --> 00:30:38,573 Speaker 2: who played Finn in Star Wars, and he's an interesting 593 00:30:39,013 --> 00:30:41,253 Speaker 2: guy for a number of reasons. So he's played a 594 00:30:41,333 --> 00:30:44,653 Speaker 2: number of really interesting roles over the years, but having 595 00:30:44,773 --> 00:30:49,893 Speaker 2: been in the Star Wars Star Wars franchise and he 596 00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:53,653 Speaker 2: was part of the sequel trilogy. He then spoke out 597 00:30:53,773 --> 00:30:56,773 Speaker 2: against Star Wars. So he talked about Star Wars basically 598 00:30:56,813 --> 00:31:02,773 Speaker 2: being a series that almost entirely had white actors playing 599 00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:06,133 Speaker 2: in the big roles, and he is of African descent, 600 00:31:06,573 --> 00:31:11,493 Speaker 2: so he said he felt like he was well, certainly 601 00:31:11,533 --> 00:31:13,573 Speaker 2: a minority in the Star Wars films, but actually that 602 00:31:13,573 --> 00:31:17,373 Speaker 2: Star Wars hadn't prioritized roles for actors of color, and 603 00:31:17,453 --> 00:31:19,533 Speaker 2: he was, like I say, quite outspoken about it. He 604 00:31:19,933 --> 00:31:22,853 Speaker 2: was public about it, appeared in a documentary making that criticism. 605 00:31:23,053 --> 00:31:25,093 Speaker 2: So we'll ask John Boyeger about that a little bit 606 00:31:25,133 --> 00:31:27,333 Speaker 2: after ten o'clock when he joins us this morning. Thank 607 00:31:27,333 --> 00:31:28,373 Speaker 2: you so much for your feedback. 608 00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:28,693 Speaker 4: Jack. 609 00:31:29,373 --> 00:31:32,653 Speaker 2: Thirty four years ago, me and my then boyfriend were 610 00:31:32,653 --> 00:31:35,693 Speaker 2: touring his UK parents around the South Island and on 611 00:31:35,733 --> 00:31:38,293 Speaker 2: our way back to Picton my car broke down just 612 00:31:38,373 --> 00:31:41,733 Speaker 2: outside Murchison, so we ended up staying in a basic 613 00:31:41,813 --> 00:31:44,253 Speaker 2: Murchison motel that even had a pool lough. My in 614 00:31:44,333 --> 00:31:46,933 Speaker 2: laws thought it was quaint and quite beautiful. Like you say, 615 00:31:47,013 --> 00:31:49,413 Speaker 2: the surroundings are absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad you folks are 616 00:31:49,413 --> 00:31:51,053 Speaker 2: home safely, says Helen. Thank you, Helen. 617 00:31:51,573 --> 00:31:51,813 Speaker 12: Jack. 618 00:31:51,853 --> 00:31:54,613 Speaker 2: All my relatives are buried at Murchison's cemeteries. But of 619 00:31:54,613 --> 00:31:57,733 Speaker 2: a family town to us, says Andy, it is. It 620 00:31:57,813 --> 00:31:59,253 Speaker 2: is an amazing place, you know what. One of the 621 00:31:59,253 --> 00:32:02,453 Speaker 2: things that makes it unique is that it's about as 622 00:32:02,493 --> 00:32:04,893 Speaker 2: far as you can get, certainly in the South Island 623 00:32:05,333 --> 00:32:08,333 Speaker 2: from the ocean, isn't it. Because to get to the ocean, 624 00:32:08,333 --> 00:32:13,013 Speaker 2: you've either got to go north up to Nelson or 625 00:32:13,333 --> 00:32:16,213 Speaker 2: through the Ball of Gorge to the South Island's west coast, 626 00:32:16,213 --> 00:32:18,173 Speaker 2: So you are at least a couple of hours away, 627 00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:20,213 Speaker 2: probably two and a half two and a half hours 628 00:32:20,213 --> 00:32:22,893 Speaker 2: away from the ocean, which I should think in the 629 00:32:22,893 --> 00:32:24,933 Speaker 2: South Island is about as far from the ocean as 630 00:32:24,933 --> 00:32:27,133 Speaker 2: you can get. Of course, they've got the river through there, 631 00:32:27,213 --> 00:32:28,973 Speaker 2: so it's not like you don't have a water source. 632 00:32:29,013 --> 00:32:32,053 Speaker 2: And yeah, those hills through the Gorge are just amazing. 633 00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:34,133 Speaker 2: But yeah, thank you for that. Ninety two ninety two 634 00:32:34,173 --> 00:32:35,693 Speaker 2: is our text number. If you want to send us 635 00:32:35,733 --> 00:32:37,573 Speaker 2: a message, you can email me as well. Jacket News 636 00:32:37,653 --> 00:32:40,453 Speaker 2: Talks headb dot co dot Nz. Right now, it's fourteen 637 00:32:40,493 --> 00:32:43,253 Speaker 2: minutes to ten. Our cook with her chicken and roasted 638 00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:44,933 Speaker 2: grapes recipe Next. 639 00:32:46,373 --> 00:32:49,893 Speaker 1: Saturday morning with Jack Team keep him the conversation going 640 00:32:49,973 --> 00:32:51,893 Speaker 1: through the weekend the US talks'd be. 641 00:32:52,493 --> 00:32:54,773 Speaker 2: I knew the moment I said that someone would correct me. 642 00:32:54,813 --> 00:32:58,253 Speaker 2: Here you go, Jack, Garston in Southland is the furthest 643 00:32:58,253 --> 00:33:01,573 Speaker 2: place from the sea. So okay, that's in terms of 644 00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:04,893 Speaker 2: the crow flies. And look, I don't think Murchison would 645 00:33:04,893 --> 00:33:07,533 Speaker 2: beat it necessarily. But how long does it take to 646 00:33:07,613 --> 00:33:10,573 Speaker 2: drive from Garston to the near nearest ocean. You could 647 00:33:10,573 --> 00:33:14,493 Speaker 2: head south, I guess, or you could head east out 648 00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:17,493 Speaker 2: to Otago. I presume you can't quite get west there. 649 00:33:17,533 --> 00:33:19,173 Speaker 2: It would take a long time to get west because 650 00:33:19,173 --> 00:33:21,613 Speaker 2: you'd be clashing with Fjordland. But there you go. Garston 651 00:33:22,133 --> 00:33:24,853 Speaker 2: is the furthest place from the ocean. Thank you for that, 652 00:33:25,653 --> 00:33:30,733 Speaker 2: and thank you for your text and emails regarding mosquitoes, 653 00:33:31,893 --> 00:33:36,293 Speaker 2: biting nats and sand flies. This morning, Jack biting Nat. 654 00:33:36,493 --> 00:33:39,733 Speaker 2: I was wincing hearing about your experience from biting NAT's hint. 655 00:33:40,213 --> 00:33:42,893 Speaker 2: The key is in the name. I think yes, I 656 00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:44,813 Speaker 2: think you're probably right with that one nine ninety two. 657 00:33:44,853 --> 00:33:46,893 Speaker 2: If you want to send us a message eleven to 658 00:33:46,933 --> 00:33:49,413 Speaker 2: ten on Newstalks, the'd be.

This is a bit of a 662 00:33:56,453 --> 00:33:59,613 Speaker 2: sort of a key milestone on your culinary calendar. 663 00:33:59,333 --> 00:34:03,093 Speaker 12: Isn't it. Oh why do we say, well, just as a. 664 00:34:03,093 --> 00:34:04,973 Speaker 2: Sort of a it's a you know, we're getting into 665 00:34:04,973 --> 00:34:08,653 Speaker 2: the warmer weather. Feels like there's no doubt we are 666 00:34:08,693 --> 00:34:12,453 Speaker 2: sort of fully ensconced in spring despite the weather of 667 00:34:12,493 --> 00:34:12,973 Speaker 2: this week. 668 00:34:13,053 --> 00:34:16,053 Speaker 17: You know, it really is, and I know terrible weather, 669 00:34:16,253 --> 00:34:18,693 Speaker 17: you know, across parts of the country. But I always 670 00:34:18,693 --> 00:34:20,933 Speaker 17: think of Labor weekend as being the first in the 671 00:34:21,013 --> 00:34:25,333 Speaker 17: season of long weekends. I love that we've had a long, 672 00:34:25,733 --> 00:34:28,533 Speaker 17: hard road. It's probably much aniki, am I right? I 673 00:34:28,533 --> 00:34:32,333 Speaker 17: don't think we have one, since one today makes all 674 00:34:32,373 --> 00:34:36,013 Speaker 17: the difference. For some reason, even non cooks, I think, 675 00:34:36,453 --> 00:34:38,653 Speaker 17: feel as though they've just got a bit more spaciousness 676 00:34:38,653 --> 00:34:42,293 Speaker 17: in their weekend to maybe just slow down and enjoyed 677 00:34:42,373 --> 00:34:45,213 Speaker 17: cooking rather than throwing something together after work and all 678 00:34:45,213 --> 00:34:45,853 Speaker 17: that kind of thing. 679 00:34:45,973 --> 00:34:46,493 Speaker 4: So I love that. 680 00:34:46,693 --> 00:34:50,093 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have the perfect little shoulder season options 681 00:34:50,093 --> 00:34:50,813 Speaker 2: for us this morning. 682 00:34:51,133 --> 00:34:55,333 Speaker 17: It's so lovely chicken with roasted grapes. So you just 683 00:34:55,653 --> 00:34:58,453 Speaker 17: this is just a one pan bake off, which I 684 00:34:58,533 --> 00:35:00,613 Speaker 17: just love. You can expand it, you can shrink it, 685 00:35:00,613 --> 00:35:03,413 Speaker 17: depending on how many people you've got around your table. 686 00:35:04,093 --> 00:35:07,773 Speaker 17: I just adore it. I use chicken sip. It's really great. 687 00:35:07,813 --> 00:35:10,373 Speaker 17: If you can find some with the bone and skin on. 688 00:35:10,893 --> 00:35:13,773 Speaker 17: Not always possible these days. Definitely bone and you can find, 689 00:35:13,773 --> 00:35:16,613 Speaker 17: but sometimes not the skin on. So you know, if 690 00:35:16,613 --> 00:35:19,013 Speaker 17: you can't, that's fine. But it's lovely to have those 691 00:35:19,373 --> 00:35:22,013 Speaker 17: those two things, and they're just a bit more juicy 692 00:35:22,173 --> 00:35:24,253 Speaker 17: two hundred degrees. It's a bit of a quick bake 693 00:35:24,373 --> 00:35:28,133 Speaker 17: this large roasting dish or a pan, depending on how 694 00:35:28,133 --> 00:35:30,093 Speaker 17: many you've got. It needs to be ove and proof obviously, 695 00:35:30,413 --> 00:35:33,133 Speaker 17: driddle in some olive oil, and then arrange your skin, 696 00:35:33,493 --> 00:35:37,253 Speaker 17: your chicken piece of skin side up. And then I've 697 00:35:37,293 --> 00:35:41,293 Speaker 17: got five hundred grams of red seedless grapes. I really 698 00:35:41,293 --> 00:35:43,613 Speaker 17: love a bit of sweet in my savory dishes. Not 699 00:35:43,693 --> 00:35:46,573 Speaker 17: everybody does, Jack, Some people don't like that sort of 700 00:35:46,573 --> 00:35:49,613 Speaker 17: apricot or date or prune or whatever. But I love it, 701 00:35:49,653 --> 00:35:50,413 Speaker 17: and grapes. 702 00:35:50,093 --> 00:35:53,853 Speaker 2: Are just perfect. Who doesn't like this? Who doesn't? 703 00:35:53,973 --> 00:35:54,333 Speaker 13: I don't know. 704 00:35:54,453 --> 00:35:55,653 Speaker 14: Some people are like, oh. 705 00:35:55,533 --> 00:35:56,293 Speaker 6: I love. 706 00:35:58,413 --> 00:35:59,053 Speaker 2: Some people. 707 00:35:59,373 --> 00:36:02,773 Speaker 17: Yeah, So you can arrange the grapes around the chicken. 708 00:36:02,813 --> 00:36:04,653 Speaker 17: But I also sort of squish some. I take a 709 00:36:04,653 --> 00:36:06,773 Speaker 17: sort of fistfull of them and kind of pushed them 710 00:36:06,773 --> 00:36:08,573 Speaker 17: a little bit so that the juice comes out. Scatter 711 00:36:08,653 --> 00:36:11,453 Speaker 17: them around the chicken, Scatter over lots of garlic, six 712 00:36:11,533 --> 00:36:15,493 Speaker 17: cloves of garlic, a splash of red or white wine. 713 00:36:15,493 --> 00:36:17,173 Speaker 17: It doesn't really mats. I caught of a cup of 714 00:36:17,213 --> 00:36:19,853 Speaker 17: bat and quart of a cup of stock. You could 715 00:36:19,933 --> 00:36:21,453 Speaker 17: go a little bit of time. You could go a 716 00:36:21,493 --> 00:36:23,773 Speaker 17: little bit of roase me either one lots of salt 717 00:36:23,773 --> 00:36:26,533 Speaker 17: and pepper on there, and then cover it with foil, 718 00:36:26,573 --> 00:36:28,253 Speaker 17: pop it in the oven, roast it for about forty 719 00:36:28,293 --> 00:36:31,573 Speaker 17: to forty five minutes, take the foil off, and then 720 00:36:31,653 --> 00:36:33,373 Speaker 17: sort of cook it for another ten or fifteen minutes. 721 00:36:33,373 --> 00:36:35,813 Speaker 17: And that just makes sure that the chicken is obviously 722 00:36:35,813 --> 00:36:38,893 Speaker 17: cooked all through. But that skin goes beautiful golden brown. 723 00:36:38,933 --> 00:36:41,653 Speaker 17: But you should still have some syrup left over from 724 00:36:41,653 --> 00:36:47,573 Speaker 17: the wine and the stock and the grape juices. Serve 725 00:36:47,613 --> 00:36:49,453 Speaker 17: it was you know, salad. Just take the whole pat 726 00:36:49,973 --> 00:36:52,973 Speaker 17: to the table, serve it with a lovely bit of salad, 727 00:36:53,173 --> 00:36:56,773 Speaker 17: crusty bread to mop up the juices. Oh it's so good. 728 00:36:56,893 --> 00:36:57,413 Speaker 13: I love it. 729 00:36:57,813 --> 00:37:00,733 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing.

Do you like it when people 829 00:42:00,493 --> 00:42:02,133 Speaker 2: come up to you and say, hey, John, John Jelle, 830 00:42:02,173 --> 00:42:03,813 Speaker 2: I loved you on this, and you're sort of thinking, oh, 831 00:42:03,853 --> 00:42:05,733 Speaker 2: I can just keep to myself here, I'm just going 832 00:42:05,733 --> 00:42:07,933 Speaker 2: about my book in general. 833 00:42:08,013 --> 00:42:11,773 Speaker 18: In general, in general, I do and I definitely appreciate it. 834 00:42:11,813 --> 00:42:13,853 Speaker 18: But as you know, every individual case is different. It 835 00:42:13,933 --> 00:42:17,493 Speaker 18: just depends on the people and their approach and what 836 00:42:17,573 --> 00:42:19,933 Speaker 18: I'm doing. You know, if I've got you know, some 837 00:42:20,213 --> 00:42:22,653 Speaker 18: sandwich in my mouth and I'm eating with families, quite 838 00:42:22,653 --> 00:42:23,293 Speaker 18: different than them. 839 00:42:23,293 --> 00:42:25,293 Speaker 4: I'm just out and about you know what I mean. Yeah, 840 00:42:25,613 --> 00:42:27,293 Speaker 4: So I've met, I've met. 841 00:42:27,333 --> 00:42:29,813 Speaker 18: I've met people in all different types of circumstances and 842 00:42:29,893 --> 00:42:32,653 Speaker 18: most of the time they are absolutely just amazing. 843 00:42:32,813 --> 00:42:33,093 Speaker 4: Yeah. 844 00:42:33,413 --> 00:42:35,573 Speaker 2: And I suppose when you're at Armageddon, like you just 845 00:42:35,973 --> 00:42:37,573 Speaker 2: you pick your moments for the sandwich. 846 00:42:38,853 --> 00:42:40,853 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, pick your moment. It's not about the sandwich. 847 00:42:40,933 --> 00:42:45,093 Speaker 18: Yeah, because I'm curious, I'm always I Also, I'm at 848 00:42:45,133 --> 00:42:47,453 Speaker 18: a point where I do want people to stay tuned 849 00:42:47,493 --> 00:42:50,893 Speaker 18: into the work that I do. So events like arm 850 00:42:50,893 --> 00:42:54,133 Speaker 18: again and it brings fans together, and otherwise I wouldn't 851 00:42:54,133 --> 00:42:54,613 Speaker 18: have seen them. 852 00:42:54,613 --> 00:42:56,573 Speaker 4: I'd only know them through the screen. 853 00:42:56,653 --> 00:43:00,333 Speaker 18: And I think a more intimate experience with the people 854 00:43:00,413 --> 00:43:01,893 Speaker 18: you enjoy and the projects you enjoy. 855 00:43:01,893 --> 00:43:03,853 Speaker 4: It's pretty cool for both parties. 856 00:43:04,333 --> 00:43:08,773 Speaker 2: How well invested in the Star Wars universe were you 857 00:43:09,013 --> 00:43:10,933 Speaker 2: before you signed onto the films. 858 00:43:12,213 --> 00:43:14,333 Speaker 18: I was really just a really big fan of it, 859 00:43:14,933 --> 00:43:18,013 Speaker 18: really invested. But just as a fan, I loved the 860 00:43:18,133 --> 00:43:22,053 Speaker 18: creative I loved dog George Lucas did with curating your 861 00:43:22,093 --> 00:43:26,493 Speaker 18: own story, producing it, getting it out there, pushing it 862 00:43:26,493 --> 00:43:29,773 Speaker 18: out and just creating something so huge and the way 863 00:43:29,813 --> 00:43:33,093 Speaker 18: one thing led to another for him was amazing and 864 00:43:33,093 --> 00:43:35,453 Speaker 18: I was one of those many kids that were impacted 865 00:43:35,493 --> 00:43:38,613 Speaker 18: by that effort with the with the Brandy. I grew 866 00:43:38,693 --> 00:43:40,973 Speaker 18: up in the prequels, but then after that went back 867 00:43:40,973 --> 00:43:43,893 Speaker 18: to the originals and then started in the sequels. 868 00:43:43,973 --> 00:43:47,813 Speaker 4: So it's a fan's dream, to be honest with you. 869 00:43:47,653 --> 00:43:51,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it really is. I just feel like 870 00:43:52,333 --> 00:43:57,253 Speaker 2: there can be few, you know, few franchises in the 871 00:43:57,253 --> 00:44:01,373 Speaker 2: world that have anything like the Star Wars following. So 872 00:44:01,693 --> 00:44:03,733 Speaker 2: how do you, like, how do you look at the 873 00:44:03,773 --> 00:44:06,093 Speaker 2: fandom for Star Wars now that you've been both a 874 00:44:06,133 --> 00:44:09,373 Speaker 2: fan and the star How has that experience kind of 875 00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:10,333 Speaker 2: changed your perspective? 876 00:44:11,733 --> 00:44:15,333 Speaker 18: Well, you kind of know the inner workings of Star 877 00:44:15,373 --> 00:44:18,413 Speaker 18: Wars a bit more obviously when you work on it. 878 00:44:19,893 --> 00:44:24,613 Speaker 18: But it validates really and truly my reason for loving 879 00:44:24,653 --> 00:44:27,053 Speaker 18: the film so much and loving Star Wars so much, 880 00:44:27,133 --> 00:44:29,293 Speaker 18: to be honest, because there's so many amazing people behind 881 00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:33,453 Speaker 18: the scenes, unspoken for that do such magnificent work, and 882 00:44:33,493 --> 00:44:35,893 Speaker 18: if they didn't, then we wouldn't appreciate Star Wars in 883 00:44:35,893 --> 00:44:37,973 Speaker 18: the way in which we do. So give you a 884 00:44:38,013 --> 00:44:40,973 Speaker 18: new appreciation for the system and how everything kind of 885 00:44:41,013 --> 00:44:43,533 Speaker 18: has to come together. How we all have to collaborate 886 00:44:43,573 --> 00:44:46,773 Speaker 18: from different teams. I mean, the actors know how much 887 00:44:46,853 --> 00:44:49,893 Speaker 18: work is done and then to be behind the scenes 888 00:44:49,933 --> 00:44:54,293 Speaker 18: to witness it. It just makes you appreciate filmmaking and 889 00:44:54,333 --> 00:44:56,573 Speaker 18: being part of one of the biggest space operas of 890 00:44:56,613 --> 00:44:57,213 Speaker 18: all time made. 891 00:44:58,293 --> 00:45:00,893 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good way of thinking about today. I'm 892 00:45:00,933 --> 00:45:04,613 Speaker 2: speaking to actor John Boyeger who played Finn and Star 893 00:45:04,693 --> 00:45:08,653 Speaker 2: Wars The Force Awakens. He is coming to New Zealand 894 00:45:08,653 --> 00:45:11,013 Speaker 2: for arm again. I'm sure you're asked about this all 895 00:45:11,013 --> 00:45:14,093 Speaker 2: the time, but I think you made a really conscious 896 00:45:14,093 --> 00:45:19,413 Speaker 2: decision to hear both your appreciation for the franchise and 897 00:45:19,453 --> 00:45:22,373 Speaker 2: the series, but also some of your criticism from your 898 00:45:22,373 --> 00:45:25,733 Speaker 2: perspective of Star Wars. And you made the comments and 899 00:45:26,173 --> 00:45:28,773 Speaker 2: number one on the call sheet in which you talked 900 00:45:28,773 --> 00:45:31,773 Speaker 2: about Star Wars being I think you said it was, 901 00:45:32,013 --> 00:45:36,533 Speaker 2: you know, the most white, elite space and yeah, I 902 00:45:36,573 --> 00:45:39,893 Speaker 2: suppoke making comments like that are pretty brave for anyone 903 00:45:39,933 --> 00:45:41,693 Speaker 2: to be making. So can you talk us through your 904 00:45:41,853 --> 00:45:43,973 Speaker 2: thought process? Why did you decide to speak out as 905 00:45:44,013 --> 00:45:44,293 Speaker 2: you did. 906 00:45:45,333 --> 00:45:47,853 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think it's brave at all. 907 00:45:48,293 --> 00:45:52,813 Speaker 18: Everybody that works on Star Wars are rich wealthy individuals 908 00:45:52,813 --> 00:45:57,173 Speaker 18: that are tasked with to tell the story of Star Wars. 909 00:45:56,853 --> 00:45:58,493 Speaker 4: And Luke and all the characters that come in. I 910 00:45:58,493 --> 00:46:01,853 Speaker 4: think it's just all saying what it is. 911 00:46:01,973 --> 00:46:06,053 Speaker 18: I mean, there's not a lot of other people in 912 00:46:06,053 --> 00:46:10,453 Speaker 18: that level, especially since nineteen seventy seven, that are behind 913 00:46:10,453 --> 00:46:12,613 Speaker 18: the scenes of Star Wars and push the creative. 914 00:46:12,653 --> 00:46:13,813 Speaker 4: So I'm just saying what's visible. 915 00:46:13,893 --> 00:46:17,453 Speaker 18: Everybody knows that there are Star Wars has came out 916 00:46:17,493 --> 00:46:22,333 Speaker 18: at a very interesting time, and the addition of actors 917 00:46:22,333 --> 00:46:24,893 Speaker 18: of color and various other people into this has always 918 00:46:24,933 --> 00:46:28,093 Speaker 18: been a conversation. So I think me it's just more 919 00:46:28,133 --> 00:46:30,493 Speaker 18: so making sure everybody's inn actings if they don't see 920 00:46:30,813 --> 00:46:32,813 Speaker 18: what is very visible, you know what I mean? 921 00:46:32,933 --> 00:46:36,333 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I suppose The reason that struck me as 922 00:46:36,333 --> 00:46:40,973 Speaker 2: being braver is that I can imagine, you know, there 923 00:46:41,093 --> 00:46:43,533 Speaker 2: is the potential for a backlash, whether it's from fans 924 00:46:43,573 --> 00:46:45,413 Speaker 2: or whether it's from people in the industry or someone 925 00:46:45,453 --> 00:46:48,293 Speaker 2: like that. Given people feel so strongly about Star Wars, 926 00:46:48,453 --> 00:46:49,013 Speaker 2: I wonder that. 927 00:46:49,013 --> 00:46:53,413 Speaker 18: It was The documentary was filmed a couple of years ago, 928 00:46:53,493 --> 00:46:57,893 Speaker 18: actually only just recently came out, so timeline wise, is 929 00:46:58,173 --> 00:47:01,213 Speaker 18: pretty much the same thing. I was saying from when 930 00:47:01,293 --> 00:47:03,853 Speaker 18: Star Wars was released and I was able to speak 931 00:47:03,893 --> 00:47:07,293 Speaker 18: about it. Honestly, it just so happened that documentary came 932 00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:09,893 Speaker 18: out a bit later, so people still think it's on 933 00:47:09,973 --> 00:47:13,413 Speaker 18: the same topic, and honestly, the whole conversation has moved on. 934 00:47:13,893 --> 00:47:17,373 Speaker 4: Moved on from that since because it's been. 935 00:47:17,253 --> 00:47:20,013 Speaker 18: So long, and I know that they were kind of 936 00:47:20,093 --> 00:47:24,773 Speaker 18: like efforts by Lucasfilm to diversify her with with talent 937 00:47:24,933 --> 00:47:28,373 Speaker 18: and and to lean more into including everybody as much 938 00:47:28,413 --> 00:47:32,373 Speaker 18: people as possible, since Star Wars Welcome is so much 939 00:47:32,413 --> 00:47:36,293 Speaker 18: different alien species and creative characters. You know, Yeah, of 940 00:47:36,333 --> 00:47:38,573 Speaker 18: course we were thinking that would be the very least 941 00:47:38,613 --> 00:47:39,213 Speaker 18: of our issues. 942 00:47:39,253 --> 00:47:45,133 Speaker 2: You know, they cloned Tyrone, who was just quite a 943 00:47:45,293 --> 00:47:51,333 Speaker 2: unique and special film, and I really loved it. I 944 00:47:51,413 --> 00:47:54,133 Speaker 2: wonder what was it about they cloned Tyrone that drew 945 00:47:54,173 --> 00:47:56,213 Speaker 2: you to that film. 946 00:47:56,533 --> 00:48:01,573 Speaker 18: Jamie Fox being attached was very interesting because obviously, you know, 947 00:48:01,613 --> 00:48:04,773 Speaker 18: working with a legend was something that it's. 948 00:48:04,693 --> 00:48:07,813 Speaker 2: Definitely a positive, right you see the name Jemmy, You're like, yeah, 949 00:48:07,893 --> 00:48:09,053 Speaker 2: well look I'll read the script. 950 00:48:09,133 --> 00:48:12,173 Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, I'll read it. I'll just say yes first 951 00:48:12,173 --> 00:48:13,613 Speaker 18: and then I'll read it. Later to be honest with you. 952 00:48:14,293 --> 00:48:16,973 Speaker 18: So it was a good experience to just be given 953 00:48:17,013 --> 00:48:18,733 Speaker 18: a chance to start with some of the icons I 954 00:48:18,773 --> 00:48:22,533 Speaker 18: grew up watching. I think also Joelle Taylor was the 955 00:48:22,573 --> 00:48:26,173 Speaker 18: first time director, and I wanted to support his perspective, 956 00:48:26,293 --> 00:48:31,053 Speaker 18: his voice, his creativity, and I enjoy films that are 957 00:48:31,053 --> 00:48:34,813 Speaker 18: a bit more more brave in that sense, like I 958 00:48:34,933 --> 00:48:38,773 Speaker 18: enjoy movies that are not trying to be too censored 959 00:48:39,933 --> 00:48:41,053 Speaker 18: and be too aware. 960 00:48:41,213 --> 00:48:42,613 Speaker 4: I think that art is. 961 00:48:42,733 --> 00:48:46,093 Speaker 18: Essentially some person, especially filmed art. It's just one person 962 00:48:46,133 --> 00:48:48,453 Speaker 18: telling you a story and saying, look what I thought 963 00:48:48,533 --> 00:48:51,093 Speaker 18: up or look at what happened. And I think Tyrone 964 00:48:51,133 --> 00:48:53,573 Speaker 18: represents the movie that's getting back to that culture where 965 00:48:53,973 --> 00:48:58,893 Speaker 18: you can have such controversial characters and still understand that 966 00:48:58,893 --> 00:49:00,853 Speaker 18: you're following a story and enjoy yourself, you know. So 967 00:49:00,933 --> 00:49:02,053 Speaker 18: I really enjoyed that project. 968 00:49:02,133 --> 00:49:02,333 Speaker 8: Yeah. 969 00:49:02,613 --> 00:49:05,533 Speaker 2: It's funny because you sort of think in the streaming age, 970 00:49:06,373 --> 00:49:11,133 Speaker 2: and they cloned Tyrone was was released on Netflix, but 971 00:49:11,213 --> 00:49:14,573 Speaker 2: in the streaming age you can see that from creators' perspectives, 972 00:49:14,573 --> 00:49:16,893 Speaker 2: there might be two different paths to go down when 973 00:49:16,893 --> 00:49:19,693 Speaker 2: you're when you're making films. So one path is that 974 00:49:19,733 --> 00:49:21,853 Speaker 2: you go, oh, my gosh, I've got access to the 975 00:49:22,013 --> 00:49:25,573 Speaker 2: entire world through streaming platforms, So I'm going to make 976 00:49:26,253 --> 00:49:29,493 Speaker 2: a piece of art that is kind of as banal 977 00:49:29,613 --> 00:49:32,653 Speaker 2: as possible, so that it appeals to the broadest possible 978 00:49:32,693 --> 00:49:35,613 Speaker 2: audience possible. But if you do that, you never make 979 00:49:35,653 --> 00:49:38,893 Speaker 2: anything great. And the other the other path is to go, Okay, 980 00:49:38,933 --> 00:49:41,013 Speaker 2: I've got access to the whole world. I'm going to say, 981 00:49:41,013 --> 00:49:45,293 Speaker 2: I'm going to make something that really appeals to me 982 00:49:45,333 --> 00:49:47,333 Speaker 2: as an artist, and it might be a bit quirky, 983 00:49:47,333 --> 00:49:50,253 Speaker 2: it might be a little bit unusual, but actually it's 984 00:49:50,293 --> 00:49:52,453 Speaker 2: going to be beloved because of it. And it feels 985 00:49:52,493 --> 00:49:56,013 Speaker 2: like that is perhaps the kind of path that Juelle 986 00:49:56,013 --> 00:49:59,573 Speaker 2: and that that Jamie and you took with they climed Tyrone. 987 00:49:59,853 --> 00:50:02,973 Speaker 18: Yeah, definitely. It differently feels like a movie that grows 988 00:50:02,973 --> 00:50:06,973 Speaker 18: on people too. It came out a very difficult time also, 989 00:50:07,133 --> 00:50:09,533 Speaker 18: during the strikes, and a lot a lot was going on, 990 00:50:09,613 --> 00:50:13,573 Speaker 18: and I feel like a huge chunk of Tyrone's audience 991 00:50:13,733 --> 00:50:16,813 Speaker 18: was lost in that moment because of what was happening 992 00:50:16,853 --> 00:50:18,013 Speaker 18: with the strikes and the lack. 993 00:50:17,893 --> 00:50:19,613 Speaker 4: Of promotion for the project. 994 00:50:19,933 --> 00:50:21,853 Speaker 18: But it really does stand on It's only two feet 995 00:50:22,333 --> 00:50:24,893 Speaker 18: as a movie that, as you said, it pushes barriers 996 00:50:24,893 --> 00:50:27,333 Speaker 18: and it's you know, Shoel Taylor's baby, and I think 997 00:50:27,373 --> 00:50:29,693 Speaker 18: that being a part of it and supporting him and 998 00:50:29,813 --> 00:50:31,973 Speaker 18: his first film was truly important. 999 00:50:32,173 --> 00:50:34,773 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're coming to New Zealand for Armagiddan. But 1000 00:50:34,813 --> 00:50:37,013 Speaker 2: you know, we have a film industry, right the film 1001 00:50:37,053 --> 00:50:40,933 Speaker 2: industry that extends beyond Lord of the Rings and Nania. 1002 00:50:41,013 --> 00:50:43,413 Speaker 2: Is there any opportunity for you to maybe come down 1003 00:50:43,413 --> 00:50:44,893 Speaker 2: here and spend a bit more time filming. 1004 00:50:46,053 --> 00:50:47,213 Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know. I would love to. 1005 00:50:47,293 --> 00:50:49,573 Speaker 18: If I'm filming something in New Zealand, it's probably a 1006 00:50:49,613 --> 00:50:53,733 Speaker 18: fantastic gig.

There's an instant 1090 00:54:59,013 --> 00:55:02,653 Speaker 19: attraction and as with any good romco nothing is straightforward, 1091 00:55:02,813 --> 00:55:05,853 Speaker 19: nothing is simple, and they both have a lot of 1092 00:55:06,813 --> 00:55:10,093 Speaker 19: opinionated friends and family who are deeply involved in their 1093 00:55:10,093 --> 00:55:13,413 Speaker 19: lives as well. It's very charming. There's some great chemistry 1094 00:55:13,413 --> 00:55:15,773 Speaker 19: between Anna and Brody and Kristen Bell, and the dialogue 1095 00:55:15,813 --> 00:55:19,173 Speaker 19: is really fast and punchy, and I like that it's funny, 1096 00:55:19,173 --> 00:55:22,053 Speaker 19: but it's also quite warm and emotional and nice to 1097 00:55:22,093 --> 00:55:25,093 Speaker 19: just sort of escape into something that has embraced a really. 1098 00:55:24,813 --> 00:55:25,653 Speaker 11: Well known genre. 1099 00:55:25,733 --> 00:55:28,773 Speaker 19: Like the long rom com but is still full of surprises. 1100 00:55:28,893 --> 00:55:31,613 Speaker 2: Yeah cool, Okay, that's nobody wants. This is on Netflix 1101 00:55:32,053 --> 00:55:34,693 Speaker 2: and the Legend of Crocodile Dundee. 1102 00:55:35,293 --> 00:55:35,493 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1103 00:55:35,533 --> 00:55:38,093 Speaker 19: I know this is quite a niche show to end 1104 00:55:38,093 --> 00:55:39,693 Speaker 19: on today, but I thought a lot of listeners will 1105 00:55:39,693 --> 00:55:43,253 Speaker 19: remember those Crocodile Dundee movies and could be interested in 1106 00:55:43,293 --> 00:55:46,053 Speaker 19: this documentary which is screening on tvanz in one tonight. 1107 00:55:47,053 --> 00:55:49,493 Speaker 19: This is a documentary movie made by a woman named 1108 00:55:50,133 --> 00:55:53,573 Speaker 19: Delvin Delaney, who was married to John Cornell, who was 1109 00:55:53,613 --> 00:55:56,373 Speaker 19: best friends with Paul Hogan, and together they made the 1110 00:55:56,373 --> 00:55:59,893 Speaker 19: Crocodile Dundee movie in the mid eighties. And so rather 1111 00:55:59,933 --> 00:56:02,293 Speaker 19: than this being an objective look at the Crocodile Dundee 1112 00:56:02,293 --> 00:56:06,053 Speaker 19: film itself, it's more of a personal, behind the scenes 1113 00:56:06,093 --> 00:56:10,053 Speaker 19: storeorry about friendship and love and how these best friends 1114 00:56:10,053 --> 00:56:12,093 Speaker 19: decided one day in the eighties to make a movie 1115 00:56:12,133 --> 00:56:14,973 Speaker 19: in the outback about a guy called mc dundee, and 1116 00:56:15,053 --> 00:56:18,613 Speaker 19: how it went on to become this huge worldwide phenomenon. 1117 00:56:19,253 --> 00:56:22,213 Speaker 19: In nineteen eighty six, it made forty seven million dollars 1118 00:56:22,213 --> 00:56:24,293 Speaker 19: at the box office, and forty years on it's still 1119 00:56:24,333 --> 00:56:28,693 Speaker 19: Australia's biggest grossing movie of all time. Yeah, so this 1120 00:56:28,773 --> 00:56:31,333 Speaker 19: documentary is almost like a snapshot of that moment in 1121 00:56:31,373 --> 00:56:34,053 Speaker 19: time and the mid eighties in Australia. It's a story 1122 00:56:34,053 --> 00:56:36,733 Speaker 19: of the underdog, and you know, forty years on there 1123 00:56:36,773 --> 00:56:40,453 Speaker 19: are aspects of that movie that probably haven't aged necessarily well. 1124 00:56:40,493 --> 00:56:43,933 Speaker 19: But this gives you quite a personal and nostalgic insight 1125 00:56:43,933 --> 00:56:47,173 Speaker 19: into the story behind the film and the relationships that 1126 00:56:47,173 --> 00:56:49,213 Speaker 19: were wrapped around it and the legacy that it had. 1127 00:56:49,653 --> 00:56:51,773 Speaker 2: Fantastic. Okay, cool, that sounds really goods So that's a 1128 00:56:51,853 --> 00:56:54,213 Speaker 2: legend of Crocodile Dundee.

Says Matthew. Yeah, 1135 00:57:09,973 --> 00:57:12,693 Speaker 2: I was interested to see this week that Iceland has 1136 00:57:12,733 --> 00:57:15,813 Speaker 2: become the last country on Earth to have mosquitoes. I've 1137 00:57:15,813 --> 00:57:19,853 Speaker 2: double checked that, Yes, Greenland does have mosquitoes, Matthew. The 1138 00:57:19,893 --> 00:57:23,093 Speaker 2: only place that now doesn't have mosquitoes is Antarctica. But 1139 00:57:23,173 --> 00:57:26,453 Speaker 2: Antarctica is a continent, not a country. So yeah, Iceland's 1140 00:57:26,453 --> 00:57:29,573 Speaker 2: become the last country on Earth to get mosquitoes. To 1141 00:57:29,613 --> 00:57:31,813 Speaker 2: confirm mosquitos, apparently, one of the big problems is you've 1142 00:57:31,813 --> 00:57:35,013 Speaker 2: got to have resting water, but resting water that isn't frozen. 1143 00:57:35,253 --> 00:57:37,653 Speaker 2: So it's right down in the south of Iceland, south 1144 00:57:37,653 --> 00:57:41,253 Speaker 2: of Raykovic, where they've discovered these mosquitoes. There you go, 1145 00:57:41,533 --> 00:57:42,893 Speaker 2: twenty eight minutes past ten. 1146 00:57:46,853 --> 00:57:50,733 Speaker 9: Getting your weekends started.

It's seven years, though, since we 1153 00:58:35,613 --> 00:58:38,973 Speaker 2: last heard anything from Lily in the music sense. She's 1154 00:58:38,973 --> 00:58:41,013 Speaker 2: got a podcast and she's doing a few other bits 1155 00:58:41,053 --> 00:58:45,013 Speaker 2: and pieces, so she's remained culturally present in different ways. 1156 00:58:45,773 --> 00:58:49,013 Speaker 2: She's published a memoir, she's acted in a West End 1157 00:58:49,093 --> 00:58:52,693 Speaker 2: stage production. She's defended the position of NEPO babies and 1158 00:58:52,893 --> 00:58:56,453 Speaker 2: entertainment industries have been plasted on tabloid covers from here 1159 00:58:56,493 --> 00:58:59,173 Speaker 2: to there while going through a bit of divorce. But 1160 00:58:59,893 --> 00:59:03,413 Speaker 2: Lily is finally ready to return to pop. Her brand 1161 00:59:03,453 --> 00:59:07,573 Speaker 2: new album is called west End Girl, and after her 1162 00:59:07,653 --> 00:59:10,093 Speaker 2: last album, The One seven years ago, she's being titled 1163 00:59:10,093 --> 00:59:12,333 Speaker 2: the Queen of the Comeback. This has come like her 1164 00:59:12,373 --> 00:59:15,293 Speaker 2: second comeback album in a sense. Our music review is 1165 00:59:15,293 --> 00:59:17,053 Speaker 2: given a listen, and it's going to be with us 1166 00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:19,613 Speaker 2: before midday to day to share a couple of those 1167 00:59:19,693 --> 00:59:22,853 Speaker 2: songs and give us all the deats before eleven o'clock. 1168 00:59:22,893 --> 00:59:24,493 Speaker 2: We're in the garden. We've got your wine pick for 1169 00:59:24,533 --> 00:59:26,933 Speaker 2: this weekend as well. Next up, though, we are looking 1170 00:59:26,933 --> 00:59:29,813 Speaker 2: at some big changes to chat GPT. They've just launched 1171 00:59:29,853 --> 00:59:33,373 Speaker 2: a chat GPT browser. The way I have been using 1172 00:59:33,933 --> 00:59:38,013 Speaker 2: AI and am increasingly using AI is as a search tool, 1173 00:59:38,253 --> 00:59:40,613 Speaker 2: so it's kind of like it as a default Google 1174 00:59:40,693 --> 00:59:44,413 Speaker 2: for me. So I'm very interested to see if replacing 1175 00:59:44,893 --> 00:59:48,653 Speaker 2: the likes of Google Chrome with a chat GPT browser 1176 00:59:48,893 --> 00:59:51,573 Speaker 2: could be my future as well. Our textbits here in 1177 00:59:51,573 --> 00:59:54,253 Speaker 2: a couple of minutes twenty eight minutes to eleven. 1178 00:59:54,933 --> 00:59:59,133 Speaker 1: The headlines and the hard questions. It's the mic asking breakfast. 1179 00:59:59,133 --> 01:00:01,653 Speaker 11: When I read the headline this morning, a defining moment 1180 01:00:01,813 --> 01:00:03,293 Speaker 11: in our history, is it? 1181 01:00:03,373 --> 01:00:05,173 Speaker 3: I don't see it that way at all. I said 1182 01:00:05,173 --> 01:00:09,013 Speaker 3: it as a moment where accumulated frustration was expressed. Those 1183 01:00:09,013 --> 01:00:12,053 Speaker 3: messages have been sent many times. We've heard them. It 1184 01:00:12,093 --> 01:00:14,933 Speaker 3: doesn't solve anything. Getting back and finding our way forward 1185 01:00:15,053 --> 01:00:16,893 Speaker 3: is the only way to get through this, and we 1186 01:00:17,053 --> 01:00:19,253 Speaker 3: both parties have to be able to do it. We've 1187 01:00:19,253 --> 01:00:21,573 Speaker 3: actually achieved settlements, so we know that we can do it. 1188 01:00:21,693 --> 01:00:24,053 Speaker 3: We just need the unions to see it the same way. 1189 01:00:24,213 --> 01:00:27,133 Speaker 3: We need to make trade offs. I've made significant trade offs. 1190 01:00:27,213 --> 01:00:29,613 Speaker 3: They need to come to the party and be prepared 1191 01:00:29,773 --> 01:00:31,853 Speaker 3: to make trade offs. I have not seen that yet. 1192 01:00:32,373 --> 01:00:35,373 Speaker 20: Back Tuesday from six am the mic asking Breakfast with 1193 01:00:35,533 --> 01:00:37,133 Speaker 20: a Veda News talk ZB. 1194 01:00:39,373 --> 01:00:41,573 Speaker 2: You know how there's a smart everything these days. You 1195 01:00:41,573 --> 01:00:44,213 Speaker 2: can get like a smart toothbrush. You can get a 1196 01:00:44,253 --> 01:00:47,773 Speaker 2: smart bed or a smart mattress. So it's a mattress 1197 01:00:47,773 --> 01:00:50,653 Speaker 2: that tracks your sleep habits and that can heat up 1198 01:00:50,693 --> 01:00:53,133 Speaker 2: and cool down and do various bits and pieces. But 1199 01:00:53,333 --> 01:00:55,573 Speaker 2: users of these eight that's the name of the brand, 1200 01:00:55,613 --> 01:00:59,493 Speaker 2: eight sleep smart mattresses had a bit of a rough week. 1201 01:00:59,973 --> 01:01:01,733 Speaker 2: Some of them were woken up when their mattresses got 1202 01:01:01,733 --> 01:01:04,453 Speaker 2: really hot, and other ones the mattresses started sitting up 1203 01:01:04,493 --> 01:01:06,893 Speaker 2: and changing their positioning even though they did want them to. 1204 01:01:06,933 --> 01:01:10,533 Speaker 2: And it all came down to a fault with Amazon 1205 01:01:10,613 --> 01:01:14,573 Speaker 2: Web Services. So these web services that provide kind of 1206 01:01:15,133 --> 01:01:20,973 Speaker 2: infrastructure cloud infrastructure for lots of different products and websites 1207 01:01:21,013 --> 01:01:23,653 Speaker 2: around the world went down during the week, which had 1208 01:01:23,693 --> 01:01:27,693 Speaker 2: all sorts of unintended consequences. Our Textbert Paustinehouse has all 1209 01:01:27,693 --> 01:01:29,293 Speaker 2: the details for us. Paul, you don't have one of 1210 01:01:29,293 --> 01:01:31,573 Speaker 2: those fancy mattresses, do you that turned out not to 1211 01:01:31,613 --> 01:01:33,333 Speaker 2: be quite as smart as you might have hoped. 1212 01:01:34,053 --> 01:01:37,173 Speaker 8: I don't, But I have to say, Jack, the enthusiasm 1213 01:01:37,213 --> 01:01:39,893 Speaker 8: in your voice talking about that was a little telling. 1214 01:01:40,253 --> 01:01:41,693 Speaker 12: Well, I don't know. 1215 01:01:41,893 --> 01:01:43,613 Speaker 2: I mean some things like do you really need to 1216 01:01:43,653 --> 01:01:45,893 Speaker 2: does everything need to be smart? Does everything need to 1217 01:01:45,893 --> 01:01:49,413 Speaker 2: be connected? It's just it's funny, right, Like, look, it's funny. 1218 01:01:49,533 --> 01:01:52,413 Speaker 8: But there was a problem where people had smart homes 1219 01:01:52,933 --> 01:01:56,733 Speaker 8: and with smart locks, smart keys, and they couldn't get 1220 01:01:56,733 --> 01:01:57,693 Speaker 8: into their homes. 1221 01:01:58,013 --> 01:01:59,013 Speaker 13: So that was a problem. 1222 01:01:59,213 --> 01:02:03,413 Speaker 8: Yes, but no, Look, here's the one thing that it says, right, 1223 01:02:03,453 --> 01:02:05,053 Speaker 8: I mean, the thing you have to remember about the 1224 01:02:05,093 --> 01:02:07,933 Speaker 8: cloud is it's not mythical, it's not magical. It's someone 1225 01:02:08,013 --> 01:02:11,773 Speaker 8: else's server that they maintain. You're renting a server effectively, 1226 01:02:12,533 --> 01:02:15,453 Speaker 8: and it really does show that, you know, a lot 1227 01:02:15,533 --> 01:02:18,133 Speaker 8: of people are renting these service. Fun fact for you, 1228 01:02:18,493 --> 01:02:21,373 Speaker 8: did you know Amazon's stock while they were having fourteen 1229 01:02:21,453 --> 01:02:25,053 Speaker 8: hours of downtime, This stock popped on that day. It 1230 01:02:25,093 --> 01:02:27,533 Speaker 8: was up like three percent to one, and I yes, 1231 01:02:27,773 --> 01:02:29,573 Speaker 8: it didn't go down, and I think it's because it 1232 01:02:29,613 --> 01:02:33,373 Speaker 8: really shows that there is such a reliance on these services. Right, 1233 01:02:33,373 --> 01:02:35,413 Speaker 8: we've gone all in on the cloud. It's been the 1234 01:02:35,493 --> 01:02:39,053 Speaker 8: talking point in corporate America certainly for the past ten years. 1235 01:02:39,093 --> 01:02:41,093 Speaker 8: Get your cloud, it's cheaper, don't have to maintain it, 1236 01:02:41,133 --> 01:02:42,653 Speaker 8: all this stuff. Well, we've moved the cloud and now 1237 01:02:42,693 --> 01:02:47,253 Speaker 8: we've got some failover issues. But what was really interesting 1238 01:02:47,253 --> 01:02:50,813 Speaker 8: about this one was it's kind of like Amazon uses 1239 01:02:50,893 --> 01:02:54,293 Speaker 8: Amazon's own services to run other Amazon services, and that 1240 01:02:54,453 --> 01:02:55,293 Speaker 8: was what the big. 1241 01:02:55,093 --> 01:02:57,013 Speaker 13: Issue was this week. 1242 01:02:57,093 --> 01:03:01,093 Speaker 8: So there's a database server, a service called Dynamo DBA. 1243 01:03:01,133 --> 01:03:02,933 Speaker 8: I won't boy you with the details of it, but 1244 01:03:03,253 --> 01:03:07,053 Speaker 8: what effectively happened was the IP addresses of all of 1245 01:03:07,093 --> 01:03:10,933 Speaker 8: the Dynamo dbs and the Virginia data center known as 1246 01:03:11,093 --> 01:03:16,173 Speaker 8: US East one were lost. They were removed so well, 1247 01:03:16,213 --> 01:03:19,093 Speaker 8: that basically means is you've got a phone book, but 1248 01:03:19,293 --> 01:03:21,293 Speaker 8: all of the phone numbers have been removed from the 1249 01:03:21,293 --> 01:03:22,453 Speaker 8: phone books, so you don't. 1250 01:03:22,253 --> 01:03:23,773 Speaker 13: Know anyone's phone numbers anymore. 1251 01:03:25,053 --> 01:03:28,293 Speaker 8: But the problem is is that all the other Amazon services, 1252 01:03:28,573 --> 01:03:30,693 Speaker 8: they actually need the numbers in the phone book to 1253 01:03:30,733 --> 01:03:32,533 Speaker 8: operate all of their own services. 1254 01:03:32,573 --> 01:03:36,253 Speaker 13: So taking down this one database. 1255 01:03:35,973 --> 01:03:39,133 Speaker 8: Cluster, which is a problem in and upon itself, right, 1256 01:03:39,253 --> 01:03:43,373 Speaker 8: like losing entire access to a service that you sell as. 1257 01:03:43,333 --> 01:03:46,773 Speaker 13: Bad one, but two all of these other services. 1258 01:03:46,813 --> 01:03:48,613 Speaker 8: I think at one point there was something like twenty 1259 01:03:48,693 --> 01:03:52,333 Speaker 8: five different Amazon services that were down because they all 1260 01:03:52,333 --> 01:03:55,893 Speaker 8: relied on this one service. 1261 01:03:55,693 --> 01:03:57,853 Speaker 13: Luster, which is just incredible. 1262 01:03:57,893 --> 01:04:01,493 Speaker 2: It's amazing when something like one domino basically is what 1263 01:04:01,533 --> 01:04:05,333 Speaker 2: you're telling us, one domino complex terms, but one domino 1264 01:04:05,533 --> 01:04:08,413 Speaker 2: falls and then next minute you've woken up in the 1265 01:04:08,453 --> 01:04:09,973 Speaker 2: middle of the night because your smart bed's trying to 1266 01:04:09,973 --> 01:04:15,213 Speaker 2: follow itself in half. Hey, chat gpt has launched a browser, 1267 01:04:15,293 --> 01:04:18,133 Speaker 2: so open Ai, the company behind chat gptev but pursuing 1268 01:04:18,173 --> 01:04:20,853 Speaker 2: a few different products and tools and things lately, but 1269 01:04:20,933 --> 01:04:23,613 Speaker 2: now they've launched an internet browser. So if you have 1270 01:04:23,653 --> 01:04:26,413 Speaker 2: Google Chrome or Safari or something like that on your computer, 1271 01:04:26,493 --> 01:04:27,653 Speaker 2: this is designed to compete. 1272 01:04:28,853 --> 01:04:31,573 Speaker 8: It is and I'm full of fun facts today, But 1273 01:04:31,613 --> 01:04:36,493 Speaker 8: another fun fact, the open Ai browser is effectively using 1274 01:04:36,493 --> 01:04:40,813 Speaker 8: the same technology as Google Chrome. Google actually make it 1275 01:04:40,853 --> 01:04:42,973 Speaker 8: open source and you can build browsers on top of it. 1276 01:04:43,013 --> 01:04:45,653 Speaker 8: So it's a little bit kind of amusing the people 1277 01:04:45,653 --> 01:04:48,373 Speaker 8: who want to go and take down Google and take 1278 01:04:48,413 --> 01:04:51,253 Speaker 8: all of your attention away from Google searches is using 1279 01:04:51,853 --> 01:04:55,093 Speaker 8: Google funded technology from Google Search and Google. 1280 01:04:54,813 --> 01:04:59,213 Speaker 13: Ads to then create their own things. Yeah, right, that aside. 1281 01:05:00,013 --> 01:05:02,813 Speaker 8: Yes, So what they're doing is they're baking chat GPT 1282 01:05:03,213 --> 01:05:06,213 Speaker 8: in into the browser. So when you first open it 1283 01:05:06,293 --> 01:05:08,653 Speaker 8: up up, instead of typically seeing what we've all seen 1284 01:05:08,733 --> 01:05:12,373 Speaker 8: for the past twenty odd years, the beautiful Google Search bar, 1285 01:05:12,933 --> 01:05:16,573 Speaker 8: you now see a chat GPT box and you can 1286 01:05:16,613 --> 01:05:20,813 Speaker 8: start typing into that instead of your Google Search, and 1287 01:05:20,853 --> 01:05:22,893 Speaker 8: you can ask it questions, you can ask it to 1288 01:05:22,893 --> 01:05:24,853 Speaker 8: find information, you can ask it to go to websites, 1289 01:05:24,893 --> 01:05:27,373 Speaker 8: all those types of things. But it's also got a 1290 01:05:27,413 --> 01:05:30,373 Speaker 8: sort of side panel, so when you're browsing to a website, 1291 01:05:30,373 --> 01:05:33,733 Speaker 8: you can then say, like chat about this website with 1292 01:05:34,013 --> 01:05:36,493 Speaker 8: chat GPT, so it takes all the context of that 1293 01:05:36,653 --> 01:05:39,253 Speaker 8: page and it can even start to do actions. 1294 01:05:39,493 --> 01:05:40,613 Speaker 13: Now I tried it. 1295 01:05:40,813 --> 01:05:42,733 Speaker 8: I was hoping it was going to be quite exciting, 1296 01:05:42,773 --> 01:05:45,573 Speaker 8: but it let me down twice. The first time I 1297 01:05:45,733 --> 01:05:47,933 Speaker 8: was trying to get it to give me, I was like, okay, 1298 01:05:47,973 --> 01:05:50,893 Speaker 8: give me a summary of the day's news from CNN 1299 01:05:50,973 --> 01:05:53,053 Speaker 8: or the New York Times, and both of those websites 1300 01:05:53,053 --> 01:05:54,813 Speaker 8: were restricted and it said I'm not allowed to do it. 1301 01:05:54,853 --> 01:05:58,373 Speaker 13: So I was like, okay, well, that was frustrating. Good 1302 01:05:58,653 --> 01:06:00,213 Speaker 13: for seeing in good for the New York Times that they. 1303 01:06:00,253 --> 01:06:02,653 Speaker 8: Started to block chat GPT, but I was like, that 1304 01:06:02,733 --> 01:06:04,613 Speaker 8: was annoying for me as a person trying to use 1305 01:06:04,653 --> 01:06:05,293 Speaker 8: it anyway. 1306 01:06:05,373 --> 01:06:06,973 Speaker 13: Second of all, I thought, okay, let's see if we 1307 01:06:06,973 --> 01:06:07,733 Speaker 13: can really test it. 1308 01:06:07,933 --> 01:06:10,093 Speaker 8: I'm going to ask it to draft me an email 1309 01:06:10,253 --> 01:06:12,813 Speaker 8: and then get it ready in my Gmail because it 1310 01:06:12,813 --> 01:06:13,653 Speaker 8: can do these actions. 1311 01:06:13,733 --> 01:06:13,893 Speaker 11: Right. 1312 01:06:13,893 --> 01:06:15,813 Speaker 8: It says it can take over and it can you know, 1313 01:06:15,853 --> 01:06:19,093 Speaker 8: effectively work the screen like a user could, right, And 1314 01:06:19,453 --> 01:06:22,053 Speaker 8: it wrote the email just like it wouldn't Chat GBT. 1315 01:06:22,733 --> 01:06:25,573 Speaker 8: But then it asked me so many times for permissions 1316 01:06:25,613 --> 01:06:26,613 Speaker 8: to do this and open it. 1317 01:06:26,613 --> 01:06:27,293 Speaker 13: Up here and do this. 1318 01:06:27,653 --> 01:06:29,213 Speaker 8: It would have just been easier for me to copy 1319 01:06:29,253 --> 01:06:32,733 Speaker 8: and paste it into Gmail directly. So I will say 1320 01:06:33,053 --> 01:06:38,013 Speaker 8: I was left a little bit disappointed underworld in the browser. 1321 01:06:38,253 --> 01:06:39,813 Speaker 13: And look, I have to say this too. 1322 01:06:39,853 --> 01:06:42,453 Speaker 8: I mean, the US is a really big Apple market, right, 1323 01:06:42,573 --> 01:06:45,573 Speaker 8: huge with the iphone're huge with the MacBook, and so 1324 01:06:45,613 --> 01:06:47,973 Speaker 8: they've actually launched this only for Mac at the moment, 1325 01:06:48,373 --> 01:06:50,293 Speaker 8: So if you have a Windows computer at the moment, 1326 01:06:50,573 --> 01:06:51,453 Speaker 8: you're out of luck. 1327 01:06:51,653 --> 01:06:53,413 Speaker 2: You can't even try the check. Okay, it sounds like 1328 01:06:53,413 --> 01:06:56,573 Speaker 2: it's not that not that impressive. See, I've found it's 1329 01:06:56,573 --> 01:06:59,253 Speaker 2: interesting how it's only once you really play around with 1330 01:06:59,293 --> 01:07:00,973 Speaker 2: these things and kind of get into a habit that 1331 01:07:01,013 --> 01:07:04,453 Speaker 2: it goes from being you know, like a bit of 1332 01:07:04,493 --> 01:07:07,173 Speaker 2: a quirk quirky sort of party trail or something, a 1333 01:07:07,173 --> 01:07:09,173 Speaker 2: bit of a novelty. You know, it takes a bit 1334 01:07:09,173 --> 01:07:11,133 Speaker 2: of time to work out exactly if you can use 1335 01:07:11,173 --> 01:07:12,853 Speaker 2: these and kind of integrate them as part of your 1336 01:07:12,893 --> 01:07:17,853 Speaker 2: daily life. I use chat, GPT heaps as a kind 1337 01:07:17,893 --> 01:07:21,413 Speaker 2: of search tool, like I'm I'm asking it questions that 1338 01:07:21,453 --> 01:07:23,133 Speaker 2: once I would have used Google, and it's you know, 1339 01:07:23,173 --> 01:07:27,933 Speaker 2: I can only imagine that Google's traffic has been significantly 1340 01:07:27,973 --> 01:07:31,293 Speaker 2: impacted by chat GPT, But the fact that the browser 1341 01:07:31,613 --> 01:07:34,013 Speaker 2: hasn't quite nailed it yet is kind of intriguing. 1342 01:07:34,573 --> 01:07:36,293 Speaker 13: I mean, it can do that stuff. I guess I 1343 01:07:36,333 --> 01:07:38,213 Speaker 13: was trying to really take it through its paces. 1344 01:07:38,293 --> 01:07:40,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. I mean that's like you've got to 1345 01:07:40,253 --> 01:07:41,973 Speaker 2: have a reason that you would move away from your 1346 01:07:42,053 --> 01:07:45,173 Speaker 2: current system, right, correct. And it sounds like if it's 1347 01:07:45,173 --> 01:07:48,333 Speaker 2: blocked from those major websites, then that in itself is 1348 01:07:48,413 --> 01:07:50,373 Speaker 2: kind of a reason not to be using it. 1349 01:07:50,333 --> 01:07:51,213 Speaker 13: It's kind of annoying. 1350 01:07:51,333 --> 01:07:51,573 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1351 01:07:51,613 --> 01:07:53,293 Speaker 8: Well, I will say the thing that I find with 1352 01:07:53,373 --> 01:07:55,493 Speaker 8: this AI stuff is if you get it to generate 1353 01:07:55,533 --> 01:07:58,733 Speaker 8: something and you don't know that what the outcome is 1354 01:07:58,773 --> 01:08:02,413 Speaker 8: supposed to be, it's incredible, right because you can't verify 1355 01:08:02,453 --> 01:08:03,453 Speaker 8: it the moment you try. 1356 01:08:03,533 --> 01:08:04,813 Speaker 13: I found personally if. 1357 01:08:04,733 --> 01:08:06,453 Speaker 8: You try to use it for something where you know 1358 01:08:06,533 --> 01:08:10,093 Speaker 8: what the outcomes should be, and you've say you've given 1359 01:08:10,133 --> 01:08:13,293 Speaker 8: it some documents and you're saying, hey, summarize this, or 1360 01:08:13,333 --> 01:08:15,133 Speaker 8: take some values from a spreadsheet, or do whatever it 1361 01:08:15,173 --> 01:08:17,333 Speaker 8: is trying to do, and then those values and things 1362 01:08:17,333 --> 01:08:20,933 Speaker 8: aren't in the output.

So tell us 1396 01:09:43,773 --> 01:09:49,293 Speaker 2: about the Ruru tinkering Immigrants vinyard sparkling method Traditionale. 1397 01:09:50,493 --> 01:09:53,573 Speaker 11: My pleasure. You know, in New Zealand there's about seven 1398 01:09:53,653 --> 01:09:56,333 Speaker 11: hundred and forty wine producers and around two thirds of 1399 01:09:56,333 --> 01:10:00,493 Speaker 11: them classified bespoke small produced less than two hundred thousand 1400 01:10:00,533 --> 01:10:05,693 Speaker 11: liters of wine a year, and Immigrants vineyard Rurdu wines 1401 01:10:07,013 --> 01:10:12,373 Speaker 11: most definitely bespoke. And it's a lovely background story of 1402 01:10:13,573 --> 01:10:16,493 Speaker 11: Lucy and Roland moving to New Zealand from the Netherlands 1403 01:10:16,533 --> 01:10:19,893 Speaker 11: and the mid eighties, and ultimately, after some time in 1404 01:10:19,973 --> 01:10:24,493 Speaker 11: hospitality and family and so on, they decided to take 1405 01:10:24,493 --> 01:10:27,653 Speaker 11: a leap of faith into Central Otago and wine growing 1406 01:10:27,693 --> 01:10:30,773 Speaker 11: and wine making. And they're very very good at it. 1407 01:10:30,813 --> 01:10:35,253 Speaker 11: By the way, this wine is made from one hundred 1408 01:10:35,253 --> 01:10:37,933 Speaker 11: percent pen and wi fruit. So it's method traditional bottle 1409 01:10:37,973 --> 01:10:43,853 Speaker 11: fermented wine, and it delivers this lovely sort of leazy 1410 01:10:43,933 --> 01:10:49,733 Speaker 11: autolysis quality, framing flavors of oatmeal and apple and grapefruit 1411 01:10:49,773 --> 01:10:51,933 Speaker 11: and white peach. But I think one of the best 1412 01:10:51,973 --> 01:10:53,853 Speaker 11: things about the wine is that it's got this lovely 1413 01:10:53,933 --> 01:10:59,173 Speaker 11: crunchy texture and the soft, moose fine bubble about it. 1414 01:10:59,213 --> 01:11:02,613 Speaker 11: So it really is quite delicious, A good tinkering wine 1415 01:11:02,653 --> 01:11:05,013 Speaker 11: to saber while steer watching bird song. 1416 01:11:05,133 --> 01:11:08,653 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, sounds amazing. So the wine itself is 1417 01:11:08,693 --> 01:11:11,213 Speaker 2: made with pen and no fruit, right, Can you tell 1418 01:11:11,253 --> 01:11:12,613 Speaker 2: us a little bit about that process. 1419 01:11:13,493 --> 01:11:18,293 Speaker 11: Yeah, So, essentially, because there are bespoke vineyard everything is 1420 01:11:18,373 --> 01:11:20,853 Speaker 11: hand harvested, and what you have to do to make 1421 01:11:20,893 --> 01:11:23,333 Speaker 11: a white wine out of red fruit is you press 1422 01:11:23,413 --> 01:11:26,973 Speaker 11: that juice out of the grapes as quickly as possible, 1423 01:11:27,053 --> 01:11:30,493 Speaker 11: so you've got little to no skin contact, and then 1424 01:11:30,573 --> 01:11:34,173 Speaker 11: you essentially make a white pen and war and then 1425 01:11:34,213 --> 01:11:37,733 Speaker 11: you pop it back into another bottle and referment it 1426 01:11:37,773 --> 01:11:40,133 Speaker 11: to create the bubble. So it goes through a second 1427 01:11:40,173 --> 01:11:44,253 Speaker 11: ferment in the bottle, and this gives it that sort 1428 01:11:44,253 --> 01:11:48,933 Speaker 11: of that soft plush moosy character, but it doesn't compromise 1429 01:11:49,053 --> 01:11:52,253 Speaker 11: on any fruit concentration, so it's more of the white 1430 01:11:52,853 --> 01:11:57,253 Speaker 11: flesh fruits like grapefruit and peach that come on the palate. 1431 01:11:57,733 --> 01:12:01,533 Speaker 11: But then it's framed by this lovely acid line because 1432 01:12:01,533 --> 01:12:04,533 Speaker 11: you need that, and Central Otago has lots of natural 1433 01:12:06,053 --> 01:12:10,533 Speaker 11: acid giving environment characteristics. But it's a wine of great 1434 01:12:10,533 --> 01:12:14,013 Speaker 11: weight and length and something to enjoy really this year 1435 01:12:14,053 --> 01:12:14,733 Speaker 11: before Christmas. 1436 01:12:14,733 --> 01:12:17,493 Speaker 2: Frankly, what would you mention it with if if you're 1437 01:12:17,533 --> 01:12:18,133 Speaker 2: doing that. 1438 01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:22,133 Speaker 11: Well, one of the default matches with a sparkling wine 1439 01:12:22,213 --> 01:12:26,973 Speaker 11: is oysters or mussels off the barbecue or you fish 1440 01:12:26,973 --> 01:12:30,133 Speaker 11: them up eat them raw. But for people who aren't 1441 01:12:30,173 --> 01:12:33,453 Speaker 11: into seafood like that, one of the best matches I've 1442 01:12:33,493 --> 01:12:36,133 Speaker 11: ever had in my life is like the soft boiled 1443 01:12:36,173 --> 01:12:39,973 Speaker 11: egg with caviat on top, So it gives you the 1444 01:12:40,013 --> 01:12:44,613 Speaker 11: salt hit and richness and saltiness and food and sparkling 1445 01:12:44,653 --> 01:12:48,493 Speaker 11: wine really do work quite well together. It's exotic, but 1446 01:12:48,693 --> 01:12:49,853 Speaker 11: such a lot of fun. 1447 01:12:50,093 --> 01:12:52,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh sounds fantastic. Okay, you've got a book to 1448 01:12:52,493 --> 01:12:56,573 Speaker 2: recommend for us too, there, I do Champagne as Chandeliers. 1449 01:12:57,293 --> 01:13:01,333 Speaker 11: Yeah, this is such a great coffee table book. It's 1450 01:13:01,373 --> 01:13:04,653 Speaker 11: a big, heavy book and it looks at the world 1451 01:13:04,733 --> 01:13:08,773 Speaker 11: of champagne and all the imagery has chandeliers in it. 1452 01:13:09,533 --> 01:13:12,773 Speaker 11: But the essence of the book is all of these 1453 01:13:12,893 --> 01:13:17,693 Speaker 11: recipes or menus, very famous menus serve too, you know, 1454 01:13:17,813 --> 01:13:22,133 Speaker 11: lords and ladies of the past and present and what 1455 01:13:22,333 --> 01:13:26,493 Speaker 11: they paired the champagnes with.

This 1557 01:18:23,533 --> 01:18:24,173 Speaker 2: is News Talks. 1558 01:18:24,173 --> 01:18:24,453 Speaker 12: He'd be. 1559 01:18:26,853 --> 01:18:30,773 Speaker 1: Saturday morning with jackdam keeping the conversation, going through the 1560 01:18:30,813 --> 01:18:32,053 Speaker 1: weekend news talks. 1561 01:18:32,093 --> 01:18:32,373 Speaker 4: It'd be. 1562 01:18:57,213 --> 01:18:59,733 Speaker 2: Good morning, you're a Jack time on news Talks. He'd 1563 01:18:59,733 --> 01:19:01,853 Speaker 2: be through to twelve o'clock today. My goodness, I've just 1564 01:19:01,853 --> 01:19:04,093 Speaker 2: been looking at the latest updates out of Southland. It 1565 01:19:04,173 --> 01:19:07,773 Speaker 2: is rough, so you've got to stay of emergency in 1566 01:19:07,813 --> 01:19:11,133 Speaker 2: place for Kluther, Southland and Kai Colder at the moment. 1567 01:19:11,173 --> 01:19:14,693 Speaker 2: But they reckon more than five hundred power lines are 1568 01:19:14,733 --> 01:19:19,333 Speaker 2: still down in Southland, more than five hundred still and 1569 01:19:19,413 --> 01:19:22,773 Speaker 2: the authorities say it could be weeks before power can 1570 01:19:22,813 --> 01:19:26,253 Speaker 2: be fully restored to some isolated rural areas in Southwand, 1571 01:19:26,293 --> 01:19:29,453 Speaker 2: which is really concerning. So we've had a lot of 1572 01:19:29,493 --> 01:19:32,173 Speaker 2: messages this morning from people saying they're still relying on 1573 01:19:32,253 --> 01:19:36,533 Speaker 2: generator power in some parts of Southland this morning. But yeah, 1574 01:19:36,653 --> 01:19:39,853 Speaker 2: for those really remote areas in the region, it could 1575 01:19:39,853 --> 01:19:41,493 Speaker 2: be a rough couple of weeks, he had to say 1576 01:19:41,533 --> 01:19:45,413 Speaker 2: the least. And the bad news is that more while 1577 01:19:45,493 --> 01:19:49,053 Speaker 2: weather is on the way at the moment, Met Service 1578 01:19:49,173 --> 01:19:52,733 Speaker 2: reckons the worst of the crazy storm on Monday that 1579 01:19:52,813 --> 01:19:54,933 Speaker 2: is headed our way at the moment. They're describing as 1580 01:19:54,933 --> 01:20:00,973 Speaker 2: a very active front is going to hit parts of Wellington, 1581 01:20:01,213 --> 01:20:05,093 Speaker 2: the Tatarua District, the northern Canterbury high Country, southern parts 1582 01:20:05,133 --> 01:20:08,053 Speaker 2: of Marlborough. So those play have strong wind warnings in place, 1583 01:20:08,093 --> 01:20:10,333 Speaker 2: and then there are some heavy rain watches as well. 1584 01:20:10,373 --> 01:20:12,413 Speaker 2: They reckon there could be heavy snow for parts of 1585 01:20:12,453 --> 01:20:14,533 Speaker 2: the Southland. It's all cross our fingers and hope that 1586 01:20:15,173 --> 01:20:17,293 Speaker 2: the snow isn't going to be affecting those parts of 1587 01:20:17,293 --> 01:20:20,173 Speaker 2: Southland that still doesn't have power. The good news, if 1588 01:20:20,213 --> 01:20:22,773 Speaker 2: there is any, is that powers back on in Tiano 1589 01:20:22,893 --> 01:20:25,053 Speaker 2: and in Winton this morning, so that's a bit of 1590 01:20:25,093 --> 01:20:29,133 Speaker 2: a relief. But yeah, it looks like, to say the least, 1591 01:20:29,293 --> 01:20:32,653 Speaker 2: it's going to be a pretty tricky few days ahead 1592 01:20:32,693 --> 01:20:35,453 Speaker 2: and for some parts of Southland potentially a tricky couple 1593 01:20:35,493 --> 01:20:37,733 Speaker 2: of weeks ahead. So hoping that you're not too badly 1594 01:20:37,733 --> 01:20:40,373 Speaker 2: affected by that wherever you're waking up this morning. Now 1595 01:20:40,413 --> 01:20:42,333 Speaker 2: before the day on news talk s head Be, we're 1596 01:20:42,333 --> 01:20:45,093 Speaker 2: gonna have it. Listened to Lily Allen's new album.

And it's funny 1599 01:20:51,373 --> 01:20:53,333 Speaker 2: when her last album was released seven years ago, they 1600 01:20:53,373 --> 01:20:55,773 Speaker 2: called that a comeback album, and now they're calling west 1601 01:20:55,853 --> 01:20:58,053 Speaker 2: End Girl a comeback album as well, so she's sort 1602 01:20:58,093 --> 01:21:01,013 Speaker 2: of a comeback album queen. But our music reviewers listened 1603 01:21:01,013 --> 01:21:02,733 Speaker 2: to that. He's going to give us his thoughts and 1604 01:21:02,733 --> 01:21:04,053 Speaker 2: we're going to play you a couple of songs from 1605 01:21:04,093 --> 01:21:06,053 Speaker 2: that as well as that brand you read from John 1606 01:21:06,133 --> 01:21:09,253 Speaker 2: Grid that our book reviewer has read and will give 1607 01:21:09,253 --> 01:21:13,213 Speaker 2: you all the deats for.

It's funny. This is one of 1619 01:21:43,413 --> 01:21:46,293 Speaker 2: those things that can you can imagine people are just 1620 01:21:46,373 --> 01:21:48,293 Speaker 2: like right off as being kind of trivial, but then 1621 01:21:48,293 --> 01:21:50,853 Speaker 2: if you think about it for a moment, you think, actually, yeah, 1622 01:21:51,053 --> 01:21:53,213 Speaker 2: it kind of makes sense that listening to bird song 1623 01:21:53,293 --> 01:21:55,413 Speaker 2: might make me feel a bit better. So tell us 1624 01:21:55,413 --> 01:21:56,173 Speaker 2: about this research. 1625 01:21:56,573 --> 01:21:56,773 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1626 01:21:56,973 --> 01:21:59,773 Speaker 11: So the research came out, they got people who were. 1627 01:21:59,653 --> 01:22:03,133 Speaker 21: Both depressed and not depressed, and then, as we want 1628 01:22:03,173 --> 01:22:05,493 Speaker 21: to do in psychology land, we made them feel even 1629 01:22:05,573 --> 01:22:10,013 Speaker 21: worse by evoking sadness in them, by playing them through 1630 01:22:10,053 --> 01:22:13,853 Speaker 21: really sad movie clips, so that they not only your depressed, 1631 01:22:13,893 --> 01:22:15,933 Speaker 21: but now we're making you feel really sad on top 1632 01:22:15,973 --> 01:22:18,013 Speaker 21: of that as well. So they made people feel sad. 1633 01:22:18,053 --> 01:22:20,253 Speaker 21: And then what can we do to relieve the sadness? 1634 01:22:20,293 --> 01:22:20,613 Speaker 11: They get? 1635 01:22:20,613 --> 01:22:23,493 Speaker 21: One group they trained them in mindfulness and the other 1636 01:22:23,533 --> 01:22:25,933 Speaker 21: group they just exposed them to listening. 1637 01:22:25,613 --> 01:22:28,413 Speaker 11: To bird songs, and both both groups benefited. 1638 01:22:29,293 --> 01:22:32,493 Speaker 21: And actually for the bird song people, they also their 1639 01:22:32,533 --> 01:22:37,173 Speaker 21: heart rates the physiological heart rates were improved as well, 1640 01:22:37,253 --> 01:22:39,493 Speaker 21: So it seems that was good for the heart and 1641 01:22:39,533 --> 01:22:42,333 Speaker 21: for the good for the mind and the body as well. 1642 01:22:42,413 --> 01:22:45,373 Speaker 2: That's interesting. So when they were playing it, I don't 1643 01:22:45,373 --> 01:22:46,573 Speaker 2: know if you have this detail. Do you know if 1644 01:22:46,613 --> 01:22:48,293 Speaker 2: they were playing them recordings or if they were just 1645 01:22:48,333 --> 01:22:49,213 Speaker 2: sitting them outside. 1646 01:22:49,293 --> 01:22:53,293 Speaker 21: No, no, no, no, no, they were playing I believe 1647 01:22:53,293 --> 01:22:54,253 Speaker 21: they were playing. 1648 01:22:54,333 --> 01:22:55,253 Speaker 4: It was live bird song. 1649 01:22:56,053 --> 01:22:59,013 Speaker 21: Oh yeah, so I think they were actually, you know, 1650 01:22:59,053 --> 01:23:03,333 Speaker 21: out there listening to birds. I think it was a 1651 01:23:03,373 --> 01:23:05,973 Speaker 21: confined environment in terms of you know, they had to 1652 01:23:06,533 --> 01:23:08,493 Speaker 21: that they were in like an avery or something like that. 1653 01:23:08,533 --> 01:23:10,693 Speaker 11: But it was it was live bird song. From what 1654 01:23:10,733 --> 01:23:11,853 Speaker 11: I can what I can make out. 1655 01:23:11,973 --> 01:23:14,893 Speaker 2: I wonder how you can differentiate between listening to bird 1656 01:23:14,933 --> 01:23:17,053 Speaker 2: song and then singing birds or singing. 1657 01:23:16,933 --> 01:23:22,333 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, they do, but it's interesting. One of the 1658 01:23:22,373 --> 01:23:25,853 Speaker 21: things they kind of thought was to that, yes, both 1659 01:23:25,893 --> 01:23:29,813 Speaker 21: are good, the mindfulness and the listening to birds, but sometimes. 1660 01:23:29,373 --> 01:23:31,453 Speaker 11: If you're really deeply depressed. 1661 01:23:31,413 --> 01:23:35,933 Speaker 21: Then having energy to do anything, including engaging in psychological therapy, 1662 01:23:35,973 --> 01:23:38,213 Speaker 21: can be real you know, it can be more than 1663 01:23:38,733 --> 01:23:40,653 Speaker 21: you know, more than what you're able to do. And 1664 01:23:40,733 --> 01:23:44,773 Speaker 21: so so mindfulness is obviously a very sort of deliberate 1665 01:23:44,813 --> 01:23:47,493 Speaker 21: sort of skill that you that you kind of got 1666 01:23:47,533 --> 01:23:48,253 Speaker 21: to put into. 1667 01:23:48,053 --> 01:23:51,133 Speaker 11: Place, whereas listening to bird song is quite a passive thing. 1668 01:23:51,173 --> 01:23:52,893 Speaker 11: You don't have to really do anything. 1669 01:23:52,893 --> 01:23:55,533 Speaker 21: It just, you know, you just sit there and listen 1670 01:23:55,693 --> 01:23:58,573 Speaker 21: and and and so it could be a useful sort 1671 01:23:58,613 --> 01:24:01,853 Speaker 21: of I wouldn't say I'd be betting every betting the 1672 01:24:01,893 --> 01:24:04,173 Speaker 21: house on it, but you could certainly even add it in. 1673 01:24:04,213 --> 01:24:06,813 Speaker 21: There's something that people can do just be supposed to 1674 01:24:06,813 --> 01:24:08,293 Speaker 21: you don't. You can just sit there and listen. You 1675 01:24:08,293 --> 01:24:10,413 Speaker 21: don't have to do anything, which might be quite a 1676 01:24:10,453 --> 01:24:12,853 Speaker 21: relief if your feeling particularly down, you know, and you 1677 01:24:12,933 --> 01:24:15,733 Speaker 21: just don't have that energy. Yeah, so yeah, I thought 1678 01:24:15,773 --> 01:24:17,733 Speaker 21: I thought it was an encouraging sort of and and 1679 01:24:17,813 --> 01:24:19,733 Speaker 21: a nice use of sort of going back to nature 1680 01:24:19,733 --> 01:24:20,093 Speaker 21: in a way. 1681 01:24:20,373 --> 01:24:24,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean it's a yeah, like 1682 01:24:24,253 --> 01:24:26,693 Speaker 2: I said, it feels kind of intuitive. It's funny I 1683 01:24:26,733 --> 01:24:30,053 Speaker 2: have been finding without eight months old. Then when he 1684 01:24:30,093 --> 01:24:32,653 Speaker 2: gets really upset he has it gets really upset from 1685 01:24:32,653 --> 01:24:34,493 Speaker 2: time to time, and especially in the evenings at the 1686 01:24:34,533 --> 01:24:36,253 Speaker 2: end of the day, and he'll scream down the house 1687 01:24:36,293 --> 01:24:38,893 Speaker 2: and that kind of thing. And often I have been 1688 01:24:39,053 --> 01:24:41,253 Speaker 2: picking him up from his high tear or wherever he is, 1689 01:24:41,653 --> 01:24:45,213 Speaker 2: taking him outside and just like giving him two minutes 1690 01:24:45,293 --> 01:24:47,413 Speaker 2: with you know, being outdoors and kind of looking at 1691 01:24:47,453 --> 01:24:48,453 Speaker 2: a tree or something like that. 1692 01:24:48,573 --> 01:24:48,813 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1693 01:24:49,173 --> 01:24:51,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing the extent when it calms them down. 1694 01:24:52,613 --> 01:24:55,453 Speaker 21: Yes, yeah, Yeah, it's interesting, isn't it. It's like it 1695 01:24:55,573 --> 01:24:57,533 Speaker 21: feels like we've kind of lost touch with some of 1696 01:24:57,573 --> 01:25:02,013 Speaker 21: those the benefits of nature as we become more more urban. 1697 01:25:02,213 --> 01:25:04,253 Speaker 21: And I realized for some people it's you know, if 1698 01:25:04,253 --> 01:25:06,053 Speaker 21: you're living in a block of flats or an apartment, 1699 01:25:06,093 --> 01:25:07,693 Speaker 21: it is really difficult to get to that. 1700 01:25:08,773 --> 01:25:11,813 Speaker 11: In the UK, they do things like green prescriptions. 1701 01:25:11,133 --> 01:25:13,013 Speaker 21: Where they'll you know, they'll they'll they'll give you a 1702 01:25:13,013 --> 01:25:15,653 Speaker 21: prescription to go out and they do things like, you know, 1703 01:25:15,693 --> 01:25:18,173 Speaker 21: tell you to go fishing, and you know, just get 1704 01:25:18,213 --> 01:25:19,173 Speaker 21: out there and be active. 1705 01:25:20,533 --> 01:25:22,733 Speaker 11: But just because of the real benefit there seems to 1706 01:25:22,773 --> 01:25:24,573 Speaker 11: be just from being out in nature. 1707 01:25:24,453 --> 01:25:26,213 Speaker 2: I find the same thing, like if I even it 1708 01:25:26,253 --> 01:25:28,013 Speaker 2: can be something so simple as well, you don't have 1709 01:25:28,053 --> 01:25:30,133 Speaker 2: to be like in a perfect unspoiled native bush or 1710 01:25:30,173 --> 01:25:32,093 Speaker 2: anything like even if I just got into the backyard 1711 01:25:32,133 --> 01:25:34,733 Speaker 2: and do a little bit of gardening honestly, a little 1712 01:25:34,773 --> 01:25:37,213 Speaker 2: bit of weeding with you know, with a good iHeart 1713 01:25:37,213 --> 01:25:40,013 Speaker 2: podcast or something, and I'm yeah, it's amazing how it 1714 01:25:40,093 --> 01:25:41,973 Speaker 2: kind of has that Yeah, it is a yeah. 1715 01:25:42,013 --> 01:25:44,253 Speaker 21: And there was a big study in New Zealand actually 1716 01:25:44,533 --> 01:25:47,813 Speaker 21: about the benefits of fishing too, Like they touted it 1717 01:25:47,853 --> 01:25:50,733 Speaker 21: as the biggest study in the world looking at the 1718 01:25:50,733 --> 01:25:54,693 Speaker 21: benefits of fishing for for mental health, and they found 1719 01:25:54,773 --> 01:25:58,213 Speaker 21: that really, you know, improve people's mood, reduced anxiety, reduced 1720 01:25:58,253 --> 01:26:02,053 Speaker 21: psychological distress, and you know, they were going out and 1721 01:26:02,253 --> 01:26:06,253 Speaker 21: just just fishing. And I think there's really something in there, 1722 01:26:06,373 --> 01:26:08,333 Speaker 21: isn't there about getting back into nature and getting that 1723 01:26:08,413 --> 01:26:10,933 Speaker 21: contact with nature that we seem to be losing a 1724 01:26:10,933 --> 01:26:12,893 Speaker 21: bit as we become more urbanized. 1725 01:26:13,213 --> 01:26:15,973 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder too if it's just it's kind of 1726 01:26:16,013 --> 01:26:21,933 Speaker 2: like mindfulness without knowing it, you know, like not being you. 1727 01:26:21,933 --> 01:26:26,333 Speaker 21: Know, yeah, like yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've tricked you 1728 01:26:26,333 --> 01:26:28,813 Speaker 21: into being mindful. You know, you're just you're just focusing 1729 01:26:28,853 --> 01:26:32,613 Speaker 21: on one thing. That's all you're aware of. You're it's 1730 01:26:32,653 --> 01:26:35,653 Speaker 21: it's it's just a calm sort of content place that 1731 01:26:35,733 --> 01:26:36,693 Speaker 21: you're connecting with. 1732 01:26:37,773 --> 01:26:38,613 Speaker 6: Yeah, I agree. 1733 01:26:38,693 --> 01:26:41,293 Speaker 21: I think there's some sort of strong overlaps with those 1734 01:26:41,333 --> 01:26:44,053 Speaker 21: sorts of things that it's very much about, and there 1735 01:26:44,133 --> 01:26:46,773 Speaker 21: is something that we get from being in nature. You know, 1736 01:26:47,173 --> 01:26:50,253 Speaker 21: thirty minutes I did hear thirty minutes a day is 1737 01:26:50,413 --> 01:26:53,093 Speaker 21: if you or not a day, but little spells of 1738 01:26:53,133 --> 01:26:55,493 Speaker 21: thirty minutes in nature.

I'm not someone known for 1787 01:29:35,613 --> 01:29:39,333 Speaker 2: keeping his limbs close to his body. You know. That's 1788 01:29:40,013 --> 01:29:42,533 Speaker 2: like an Helpatross on stilts, they say, Mike, So no, 1789 01:29:42,653 --> 01:29:45,333 Speaker 2: I'm not sure that I necessarily have the grace to join. 1790 01:29:46,973 --> 01:29:49,613 Speaker 2: It is amazing. Every time I go to slay, I'm like, 1791 01:29:50,253 --> 01:29:52,533 Speaker 2: it's just unbelievable to me that people are able to 1792 01:29:52,573 --> 01:29:55,973 Speaker 2: pull off those different stunts. You know, I'm always so yeah, 1793 01:29:56,053 --> 01:29:59,493 Speaker 2: so affected by it. So that does sound sound amazing anyway? 1794 01:29:59,493 --> 01:30:02,293 Speaker 6: You're human, human elastic, isn't it it is? 1795 01:30:02,533 --> 01:30:04,653 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, he is. And some of the things they 1796 01:30:04,693 --> 01:30:08,133 Speaker 2: pull off you just think, oh my god. Yeah. Now 1797 01:30:08,213 --> 01:30:10,733 Speaker 2: Jaipur is the is the red city, Isn't it? Is 1798 01:30:10,773 --> 01:30:11,173 Speaker 2: that right? 1799 01:30:11,413 --> 01:30:11,653 Speaker 4: Yes? 1800 01:30:11,773 --> 01:30:14,253 Speaker 2: Red city and I understand. Or pink city, Yes it 1801 01:30:14,893 --> 01:30:17,013 Speaker 2: is pink. Yes, yes, it's not the blue city. But 1802 01:30:17,413 --> 01:30:19,933 Speaker 2: Jaipur is the is the is the pink city and 1803 01:30:19,973 --> 01:30:23,973 Speaker 2: it really is gorgeous. How did it end up getting 1804 01:30:24,173 --> 01:30:26,453 Speaker 2: painted pink? How did the old city and Gaipaur end 1805 01:30:26,533 --> 01:30:26,933 Speaker 2: up pink? 1806 01:30:27,973 --> 01:30:28,213 Speaker 6: Yes? 1807 01:30:28,293 --> 01:30:31,013 Speaker 20: Well a lot of people. Jack liked to paint the 1808 01:30:31,053 --> 01:30:35,293 Speaker 20: town red, but Jipaul went pink. And it's pink stucco, 1809 01:30:35,973 --> 01:30:38,893 Speaker 20: which all began in the eighteen seventies when the Prince 1810 01:30:38,893 --> 01:30:41,773 Speaker 20: of Wales rocked into town. So he was Queen Victoria's son. 1811 01:30:42,333 --> 01:30:46,133 Speaker 20: He later succeeded her as King Edward. He named j 1812 01:30:46,333 --> 01:30:49,733 Speaker 20: Paul the Pink City, and the Maharaja at the time 1813 01:30:50,293 --> 01:30:56,533 Speaker 20: chose the color for his visit because pink symbolizes hospitality 1814 01:30:56,773 --> 01:30:58,173 Speaker 20: in Rajpot culture. 1815 01:30:58,653 --> 01:31:02,173 Speaker 6: So the name and the stucco has stuck ever since. 1816 01:31:01,973 --> 01:31:04,733 Speaker 20: And even today, all the buildings in the old city 1817 01:31:04,893 --> 01:31:08,253 Speaker 20: must still be painted pink, which I think adds to 1818 01:31:08,293 --> 01:31:10,653 Speaker 20: the unmistakable magic about the place. 1819 01:31:10,773 --> 01:31:13,533 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so talk to us about City Palace. What 1820 01:31:13,573 --> 01:31:14,773 Speaker 2: did you like about City Palace? 1821 01:31:15,653 --> 01:31:19,053 Speaker 20: Yeah, there are some really big sights to see in town, 1822 01:31:19,173 --> 01:31:22,053 Speaker 20: and City Palace is such a stirring complex. It just 1823 01:31:22,093 --> 01:31:26,693 Speaker 20: seems to be the most perfect union of mouthwatering architecture 1824 01:31:27,133 --> 01:31:31,613 Speaker 20: and tranquil garden courtyards. They really know how to soften 1825 01:31:31,693 --> 01:31:35,253 Speaker 20: hard edges. And I love the Palace of the Breeze. 1826 01:31:35,293 --> 01:31:40,053 Speaker 20: Just such an ingenious design because it was built purposefully 1827 01:31:40,133 --> 01:31:44,853 Speaker 20: to circulate cool air amongst all those pillars of the 1828 01:31:44,893 --> 01:31:47,493 Speaker 20: palace in the extreme summer heat and I mean I 1829 01:31:47,573 --> 01:31:49,333 Speaker 20: was there and I think it was thirty nine degrees 1830 01:31:49,373 --> 01:31:52,613 Speaker 20: when I was there, and yep, I was not sweating 1831 01:31:52,813 --> 01:31:56,013 Speaker 20: at all in that palace. For something quirky, I think 1832 01:31:56,013 --> 01:31:58,133 Speaker 20: this is the greatest thing about the City Palace. You 1833 01:31:58,173 --> 01:32:02,613 Speaker 20: can go and see these massive silver vessels in the courtyard. 1834 01:32:03,013 --> 01:32:06,213 Speaker 20: They are like the urns of a giant. And they 1835 01:32:06,533 --> 01:32:12,413 Speaker 20: carried the Maharaja's drinking water from the Ganges to London 1836 01:32:12,853 --> 01:32:14,173 Speaker 20: for Edward's coronation. 1837 01:32:14,773 --> 01:32:16,373 Speaker 6: And I thought I was a heavy packer. 1838 01:32:16,453 --> 01:32:16,693 Speaker 4: Jack. 1839 01:32:16,933 --> 01:32:18,373 Speaker 6: Yeah, isn't it amazing? 1840 01:32:18,573 --> 01:32:22,933 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a short journey. Yeah, amazing. Are the 1841 01:32:22,973 --> 01:32:24,453 Speaker 2: other royals still in residence. 1842 01:32:25,573 --> 01:32:30,333 Speaker 20: Yes, you can see the reception rooms of Jaipaul's royal family. 1843 01:32:31,253 --> 01:32:31,853 Speaker 6: The chairs. 1844 01:32:32,093 --> 01:32:36,373 Speaker 20: I love their chairs. They have silver lions for armrests. 1845 01:32:36,573 --> 01:32:39,173 Speaker 20: Every home should have those. But there's a lot of 1846 01:32:39,213 --> 01:32:43,173 Speaker 20: tabloid tattle at the moment about the current Maharaja of Jaipaul, 1847 01:32:43,293 --> 01:32:47,973 Speaker 20: Patcho Singh. He's only twenty seven, quite the playboy and 1848 01:32:48,013 --> 01:32:51,733 Speaker 20: not just at Polo. So he's currently living in City 1849 01:32:51,813 --> 01:32:56,373 Speaker 20: Palace with his French girlfriend. Now this is very controversial because, 1850 01:32:56,773 --> 01:33:00,133 Speaker 20: as I'm sure you can appreciate Jack in Rajasthan culture, 1851 01:33:00,693 --> 01:33:04,293 Speaker 20: one must have an arranged marriage and it's also got 1852 01:33:04,293 --> 01:33:08,213 Speaker 20: to be astrologically aligned, so there's not much hope for 1853 01:33:08,253 --> 01:33:09,253 Speaker 20: the French girlfriends. 1854 01:33:09,493 --> 01:33:13,933 Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, I've not heard says scandalous.

I'm not a shopaholic, 1904 01:35:27,373 --> 01:35:33,053 Speaker 20: but it's that sort of place where impulsive shopping becomes compulsive. 1905 01:35:33,173 --> 01:35:35,413 Speaker 20: You know, you just find yourself buying things you never 1906 01:35:35,533 --> 01:35:39,173 Speaker 20: dreamed you'd buy.

I think when I 1923 01:36:37,293 --> 01:36:41,293 Speaker 2: was there, I it was up the road maybe in 1924 01:36:42,093 --> 01:36:46,293 Speaker 2: Jaisalmeir or something like that in Rajasthan. But I went 1925 01:36:46,333 --> 01:36:48,053 Speaker 2: to you know, in those bazaars they often have the 1926 01:36:48,133 --> 01:36:52,173 Speaker 2: leather shops, and I bought a leather a camel leather 1927 01:36:52,253 --> 01:36:55,773 Speaker 2: messenger bag and it costs about you know, seven dollars 1928 01:36:55,893 --> 01:36:59,173 Speaker 2: or something, and I just like, to this day, I'm like, 1929 01:36:59,213 --> 01:37:00,853 Speaker 2: why I didn't I buy fifty of those?

So when you're in Jipaul, where's a good 1934 01:37:12,013 --> 01:37:12,613 Speaker 2: place to stay? 1935 01:37:13,853 --> 01:37:16,573 Speaker 20: Well, this is one of the real gems about Gipaul. 1936 01:37:16,613 --> 01:37:19,573 Speaker 20: They have so many old historic palaces that have been 1937 01:37:19,613 --> 01:37:22,413 Speaker 20: revitalized as hotels. So if you really want to go 1938 01:37:22,533 --> 01:37:27,733 Speaker 20: palatal with your accommodation, they are surprisingly inexpensive. But I 1939 01:37:27,893 --> 01:37:30,533 Speaker 20: actually switched it up on my last trip a few 1940 01:37:30,533 --> 01:37:33,733 Speaker 20: weeks ago and I stayed at a brand new palace 1941 01:37:33,893 --> 01:37:36,493 Speaker 20: style hotel. So you might have heard of the brand 1942 01:37:36,613 --> 01:37:42,213 Speaker 20: an Intara, the tie of origin, but they've gone global 1943 01:37:42,293 --> 01:37:45,413 Speaker 20: five star hotel chain. Anyway, they've opened their first Indian 1944 01:37:45,453 --> 01:37:51,173 Speaker 20: opening in Gypaw and they've built it as a replica 1945 01:37:51,573 --> 01:37:55,373 Speaker 20: of Gipaul's landmark.

He's 1980 01:40:03,813 --> 01:40:06,013 Speaker 16: with a Chelsea and the New South World's Origin team 1981 01:40:06,013 --> 01:40:09,053 Speaker 16: and very things. But there's charter school announcement around Sports 1982 01:40:09,293 --> 01:40:12,413 Speaker 16: Sports Academy that's going to be at the nccis in 1983 01:40:12,453 --> 01:40:14,493 Speaker 16: Wellington from years eleven to thirteen. 1984 01:40:15,213 --> 01:40:16,693 Speaker 2: Is this a good idea for kids? 1985 01:40:17,253 --> 01:40:19,373 Speaker 16: Gilbert used to be a high school teacher, is obviously 1986 01:40:19,573 --> 01:40:22,293 Speaker 16: weeked on the side of high performance sport as well. 1987 01:40:22,453 --> 01:40:25,333 Speaker 16: So is this going to prepare kids in the right 1988 01:40:25,373 --> 01:40:28,813 Speaker 16: way for moving out of secondary school into high performance 1989 01:40:28,853 --> 01:40:32,013 Speaker 16: sport environments or is it a step too soon? 1990 01:40:32,573 --> 01:40:36,413 Speaker 2: Interesting to me, kids, do you know what my gut 1991 01:40:36,493 --> 01:40:38,293 Speaker 2: And this is based on nothing more than gut, and 1992 01:40:38,333 --> 01:40:40,653 Speaker 2: so Gilbert I have a much more informed take on this. 1993 01:40:40,813 --> 01:40:44,093 Speaker 2: My gut is that if it were year nine, I 1994 01:40:44,093 --> 01:40:46,013 Speaker 2: think I'd feel uncomfortable about that. So if it's the 1995 01:40:46,013 --> 01:40:49,093 Speaker 2: old third form, I'd feel uncomfortable about that. Year eleven, 1996 01:40:49,373 --> 01:40:53,253 Speaker 2: which is the old fifth form, I think that's fine. 1997 01:40:53,613 --> 01:40:55,213 Speaker 2: I kind of think so as well. It's all the 1998 01:40:55,293 --> 01:40:56,493 Speaker 2: proof of the puttings in the eating. It is all 1999 01:40:56,533 --> 01:40:58,093 Speaker 2: depends on the management of school and all that kind 2000 01:40:58,093 --> 01:40:59,453 Speaker 2: of thing. And the charter schools are held to a 2001 01:40:59,493 --> 01:41:02,253 Speaker 2: pretty high standard under the system. You know, they're checked 2002 01:41:02,333 --> 01:41:04,693 Speaker 2: up on pretty closely. But I feel like year earl 2003 01:41:04,893 --> 01:41:08,053 Speaker 2: like if you think about you know, professional sports people 2004 01:41:08,093 --> 01:41:10,093 Speaker 2: around the world, a lot of them by the time 2005 01:41:10,173 --> 01:41:12,373 Speaker 2: they're sort of fifteen are kind of part of a 2006 01:41:12,413 --> 01:41:14,053 Speaker 2: system that's preparing them for. 2007 01:41:14,533 --> 01:41:18,413 Speaker 16: You think about those that lettage of Tiger Woods playing 2008 01:41:18,493 --> 01:41:22,493 Speaker 16: as a you know, they're all coming through that age. 2009 01:41:22,533 --> 01:41:25,053 Speaker 16: So I guess at one point though, you are going 2010 01:41:25,133 --> 01:41:27,613 Speaker 16: to pull kids out of a usual score environment and 2011 01:41:27,653 --> 01:41:31,733 Speaker 16: then put them into this charter of sports school. Whether 2012 01:41:31,773 --> 01:41:34,093 Speaker 16: that's the best thing for them, you know, whether being 2013 01:41:34,133 --> 01:41:36,653 Speaker 16: on a sport minded focus. You said, they're still going 2014 01:41:36,693 --> 01:41:39,093 Speaker 16: to be taught the maths and various things, but whether 2015 01:41:39,613 --> 01:41:42,733 Speaker 16: being on that sport track from year eleven solely. 2016 01:41:42,493 --> 01:41:45,653 Speaker 2: Is Yeah, my gar is all good from year eleven. 2017 01:41:45,693 --> 01:41:47,253 Speaker 2: But I'll be really interested to see what Gilbert thinks 2018 01:41:47,253 --> 01:41:49,293 Speaker 2: about I'm sure he's got some ideas for how like 2019 01:41:49,373 --> 01:41:52,173 Speaker 2: what would make it effective and some potential performs and 2020 01:41:52,213 --> 01:41:54,293 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. What does he do for metal skills? 2021 01:41:54,533 --> 01:41:56,893 Speaker 2: Did you say like breathe deeply and stuff. 2022 01:41:56,973 --> 01:41:59,293 Speaker 16: Well, it's all about I guess thinking and the way 2023 01:41:59,333 --> 01:42:02,493 Speaker 16: you approach the game and techniques to get you back 2024 01:42:02,493 --> 01:42:03,453 Speaker 16: in the right. 2025 01:42:03,413 --> 01:42:05,933 Speaker 2: Zone if things aren't going right as well. 2026 01:42:06,493 --> 01:42:09,333 Speaker 16: All the all blacks from a zero rave about what 2027 01:42:09,373 --> 01:42:10,853 Speaker 16: he was able to do and the way he was 2028 01:42:10,893 --> 01:42:12,213 Speaker 16: able to present things and break. 2029 01:42:12,013 --> 01:42:12,613 Speaker 2: It down for them. 2030 01:42:12,653 --> 01:42:14,733 Speaker 16: So yeah, he's got techniques that you know, obviously the 2031 01:42:14,773 --> 01:42:16,933 Speaker 16: English cricket team. He's work with Chelsea and various things 2032 01:42:16,933 --> 01:42:20,093 Speaker 16: as well. Yeah, he's got a good book out at 2033 01:42:20,133 --> 01:42:20,413 Speaker 16: the moment. 2034 01:42:21,013 --> 01:42:23,453 Speaker 2: Yeah, Catherine our book reviewer read a few weeks and 2035 01:42:23,453 --> 01:42:25,853 Speaker 2: going I say it was fantastic.

The weather is looking pretty 2040 01:42:36,373 --> 01:42:39,253 Speaker 16: good in christ Church and two form teams O Tiger 2041 01:42:39,253 --> 01:42:41,933 Speaker 16: have been probably the story of the competition in many ways, 2042 01:42:41,933 --> 01:42:45,693 Speaker 16: putting the Ranfieldy Shield and Canterbury an ultrack consistent. But 2043 01:42:45,733 --> 01:42:48,053 Speaker 16: I think I Targo go up to christ Church this weekend, 2044 01:42:48,293 --> 01:42:51,253 Speaker 16: in this afternoon with no fear. I shield from fifteen 2045 01:42:51,293 --> 01:42:53,453 Speaker 16: points down against them what three or four weeks ago, 2046 01:42:53,493 --> 01:42:54,653 Speaker 16: which is such an amazing game. 2047 01:42:54,693 --> 01:42:55,573 Speaker 2: It was an incredible game. 2048 01:42:55,773 --> 01:42:57,453 Speaker 16: And you know, look the like Sadel and Pleager has 2049 01:42:57,493 --> 01:43:00,333 Speaker 16: been so effective for them this season, Lucas Casey as 2050 01:43:00,373 --> 01:43:03,333 Speaker 16: well Sam Gilbert who's leaving after this campaign. There's all 2051 01:43:03,373 --> 01:43:06,493 Speaker 16: sorts of little storylines, but I think it's rejuvenated the 2052 01:43:06,573 --> 01:43:07,733 Speaker 16: NPC a little bit this season. 2053 01:43:07,773 --> 01:43:08,213 Speaker 2: Oh for sure. 2054 01:43:08,253 --> 01:43:13,853 Speaker 16: I reckon the season great, great sold out. You know, 2055 01:43:14,013 --> 01:43:16,413 Speaker 16: this is the last game that Canterbury will play at 2056 01:43:16,453 --> 01:43:19,933 Speaker 16: a Plow Projects Stadium. The Crusaders have a couple more 2057 01:43:19,973 --> 01:43:21,893 Speaker 16: next year, but this is the farewell to to that 2058 01:43:22,013 --> 01:43:24,133 Speaker 16: venue as well. I know the Canterbary team are desperate 2059 01:43:24,173 --> 01:43:26,573 Speaker 16: to send it off with the bang. The Crusader's obviously 2060 01:43:26,573 --> 01:43:28,773 Speaker 16: won the title the earlier in the season. Canterbury wanting 2061 01:43:28,813 --> 01:43:31,693 Speaker 16: to do likewise, but you just sense that Otago have 2062 01:43:32,133 --> 01:43:34,133 Speaker 16: a mindset to try and spoil that party a little 2063 01:43:34,133 --> 01:43:34,533 Speaker 16: bit the same. 2064 01:43:34,773 --> 01:43:37,093 Speaker 2: Finally, crunch time for Liam Lawson. If you had to 2065 01:43:37,093 --> 01:43:38,493 Speaker 2: beat your house on it, and I take it you 2066 01:43:38,493 --> 01:43:40,253 Speaker 2: probably don't want to do that. If you had to 2067 01:43:40,253 --> 01:43:41,813 Speaker 2: beat your house on it, which way would you go? 2068 01:43:42,253 --> 01:43:45,053 Speaker 2: I think you will get a seat for next year. 2069 01:43:47,053 --> 01:43:52,853 Speaker 2: Confidence didn't deliver a conviction. Look at you hear all 2070 01:43:52,853 --> 01:43:55,853 Speaker 2: the machinations and everything like that. I would love for 2071 01:43:55,893 --> 01:43:57,933 Speaker 2: him to have a great weekend this weekend because it 2072 01:43:57,933 --> 01:44:00,773 Speaker 2: sounds like it's crunch time, as you said, and every 2073 01:44:00,813 --> 01:44:03,293 Speaker 2: little bit matters, and every little session matters. And it's 2074 01:44:03,293 --> 01:44:05,613 Speaker 2: not just the race, it's the qualifying, it's the practice 2075 01:44:05,653 --> 01:44:08,253 Speaker 2: everything like that thing, like of all the pressure and sports, 2076 01:44:08,453 --> 01:44:12,013 Speaker 2: it just seems truly intolerable. The pressure they put these 2077 01:44:12,093 --> 01:44:15,373 Speaker 2: drivers under, like it just crazy. A lot of it's 2078 01:44:15,373 --> 01:44:17,453 Speaker 2: out of your control as well. It's the car you've 2079 01:44:17,453 --> 01:44:18,773 Speaker 2: been given, it's. 2080 01:44:18,693 --> 01:44:23,373 Speaker 16: The tactics of your team, sponsorships, who's supplying engines, who 2081 01:44:23,373 --> 01:44:26,813 Speaker 16: you're affiliated with. There this just the pressure of the 2082 01:44:26,853 --> 01:44:30,693 Speaker 16: expectation on the weekends. Knowing that like even if you weren't. 2083 01:44:30,493 --> 01:44:32,773 Speaker 2: Racing and the whole world wasn't watching you, you didn't 2084 01:44:32,773 --> 01:44:35,573 Speaker 2: have multimillion dollar contracts on the line, one era can 2085 01:44:35,613 --> 01:44:36,893 Speaker 2: be potentially fatal. 2086 01:44:37,213 --> 01:44:37,373 Speaker 4: You know. 2087 01:44:37,453 --> 01:44:38,693 Speaker 2: It's just like it's nuts to me. 2088 01:44:38,853 --> 01:44:40,573 Speaker 16: And the funny thing is it's like, with all you 2089 01:44:40,613 --> 01:44:42,973 Speaker 16: respect to Liam Lawson, it's not like he's contending for 2090 01:44:42,973 --> 01:44:45,533 Speaker 16: the title. This is using a seat here for next season. 2091 01:44:45,933 --> 01:44:47,693 Speaker 16: You know, the pointing into the title with the stapping 2092 01:44:47,733 --> 01:44:50,373 Speaker 16: against the two McLaren guys. You know, there's the real 2093 01:44:50,373 --> 01:44:52,813 Speaker 16: pressure point where we're talking about, you know, margins of 2094 01:44:52,813 --> 01:44:54,853 Speaker 16: a second and six f seven on the table or 2095 01:44:54,853 --> 01:44:57,093 Speaker 16: whatever it might be to keep a seat for next year. 2096 01:44:57,093 --> 01:44:59,013 Speaker 2: It's fascinating.

And to 2111 01:45:43,773 --> 01:45:46,613 Speaker 22: be perfectly honest, he's kind of had enough of his life. 2112 01:45:47,093 --> 01:45:50,733 Speaker 22: But actually he spends any money he has on sports gambling. 2113 01:45:50,853 --> 01:45:52,973 Speaker 22: So he's in a lot of debt and struggling to 2114 01:45:53,013 --> 01:45:56,773 Speaker 22: make ends meet. When all of a sudden, this elderly 2115 01:45:56,773 --> 01:45:59,533 Speaker 22: widow named Eleanor comes into his office wanting to have 2116 01:45:59,693 --> 01:46:05,733 Speaker 22: her will redone. She's no children, but her last husband 2117 01:46:05,933 --> 01:46:09,813 Speaker 22: had a couple of young lads who she finds quite 2118 01:46:09,853 --> 01:46:12,533 Speaker 22: awful and doesn't want to have anything to do with. 2119 01:46:13,173 --> 01:46:17,493 Speaker 22: And so it really transpires in as she starts talking 2120 01:46:17,533 --> 01:46:20,213 Speaker 22: that her late husband had multiple shares in some very 2121 01:46:20,293 --> 01:46:23,013 Speaker 22: well known companies, and of course she has no one 2122 01:46:23,053 --> 01:46:26,013 Speaker 22: to leave her vast fortune too, and Simon sees this 2123 01:46:26,093 --> 01:46:29,573 Speaker 22: as an opportunity to do what all awful lawyers do 2124 01:46:29,653 --> 01:46:32,453 Speaker 22: and inflate his fees and make his life a little easier. 2125 01:46:32,933 --> 01:46:36,973 Speaker 22: But things don't go to plan at all, and Alana's 2126 01:46:36,973 --> 01:46:40,413 Speaker 22: story doesn't really make sense. Can she be trusted? She's 2127 01:46:40,973 --> 01:46:44,933 Speaker 22: very cagy in details, and she's an incredibly elusive woman. 2128 01:46:45,853 --> 01:46:48,653 Speaker 22: And then the story switches and Simon finds himself on 2129 01:46:48,773 --> 01:46:51,453 Speaker 22: trial for a crime he says that he doesn't commit. 2130 01:46:51,613 --> 01:46:54,053 Speaker 22: And that's where you head into the story that Grisham 2131 01:46:54,133 --> 01:46:57,493 Speaker 22: is so good at. You get the trial and the 2132 01:46:57,573 --> 01:47:01,733 Speaker 22: tension and the twists and some really interesting characters and 2133 01:47:01,773 --> 01:47:04,453 Speaker 22: the suspense and of course a town, small town full 2134 01:47:04,493 --> 01:47:07,453 Speaker 22: of secrets, and that court room tension, which he is 2135 01:47:07,493 --> 01:47:10,613 Speaker 22: an absolute master of. So without giving too much of 2136 01:47:10,613 --> 01:47:12,733 Speaker 22: the story away about how Simon ends up there, it 2137 01:47:12,813 --> 01:47:15,773 Speaker 22: is perfect John Grisham, really good story. 2138 01:47:15,853 --> 01:47:18,853 Speaker 2: Oh so good. Okay, cool, That's the Widow by John Grisham. 2139 01:47:19,013 --> 01:47:21,893 Speaker 2: You've also read Last One Out by Jane Harper. 2140 01:47:22,973 --> 01:47:27,493 Speaker 22: This also focuses on our small town and it's a 2141 01:47:27,533 --> 01:47:31,653 Speaker 22: town that's losing its heart and slowly dying. And Last 2142 01:47:31,653 --> 01:47:33,893 Speaker 22: One Out set in this place in use in rural 2143 01:47:33,973 --> 01:47:38,853 Speaker 22: South Wales, New South Wales called Caroline Ridge, and it's 2144 01:47:38,893 --> 01:47:41,693 Speaker 22: houses and buildings, once a thriving place, have been brought 2145 01:47:41,773 --> 01:47:44,893 Speaker 22: up by this mining company that operates on its outskirts 2146 01:47:44,933 --> 01:47:47,093 Speaker 22: and it's been really left to rot and it's almost 2147 01:47:47,133 --> 01:47:50,373 Speaker 22: derilict and you hear this constant noise of the coal 2148 01:47:50,413 --> 01:47:52,653 Speaker 22: mine and its operation. That's twenty four hours and it 2149 01:47:52,733 --> 01:47:56,773 Speaker 22: echoes through this narrative, the noise, the dust, the trucks, 2150 01:47:56,813 --> 01:48:00,333 Speaker 22: and the landscape disappearing. But actually where the story starts 2151 01:48:00,413 --> 01:48:02,733 Speaker 22: is with this young man, Sam Crowley on his twenty 2152 01:48:02,733 --> 01:48:06,613 Speaker 22: first birthday and he's visiting these three very different, diferent 2153 01:48:06,653 --> 01:48:09,973 Speaker 22: empty houses on the outskirts of the town and you 2154 01:48:10,093 --> 01:48:12,533 Speaker 22: discover that this is the day and the last day 2155 01:48:12,533 --> 01:48:15,573 Speaker 22: that anyone saw Sam and he's disappeared. And then the 2156 01:48:15,613 --> 01:48:18,533 Speaker 22: story moves ahead five years later when Sam's mum, Row 2157 01:48:18,693 --> 01:48:21,493 Speaker 22: returns to the town for the anniversary of his disappearance, 2158 01:48:21,773 --> 01:48:23,813 Speaker 22: and we also meet her husband Griff, and her daughter 2159 01:48:24,253 --> 01:48:27,373 Speaker 22: Delia and Delilah Sorry, and they're all dealing with their 2160 01:48:27,413 --> 01:48:30,813 Speaker 22: grief and Sam's disappearance and this pressure of this town 2161 01:48:31,093 --> 01:48:35,293 Speaker 22: and tearing families apart, and Roe really suspects some foul 2162 01:48:35,333 --> 01:48:37,693 Speaker 22: play and you really left guessing as to what happened 2163 01:48:37,693 --> 01:48:40,173 Speaker 22: to Sam, and you get these kind of slow moments 2164 01:48:40,213 --> 01:48:42,773 Speaker 22: in the story that gives you some clues about what 2165 01:48:43,013 --> 01:48:46,613 Speaker 22: might happen. And then there's these mine owners and people 2166 01:48:46,733 --> 01:48:49,773 Speaker 22: and this misplaced nostalgia about what this town is and 2167 01:48:49,773 --> 01:48:52,693 Speaker 22: this unraveling of this community and impact on the people. 2168 01:48:52,933 --> 01:48:55,373 Speaker 22: And it is quite slow paced, but you're really drawn 2169 01:48:55,413 --> 01:48:58,293 Speaker 22: into the slow unraveling of the Sam of the story 2170 01:48:58,293 --> 01:49:01,373 Speaker 22: and Sam and his disappearance and the investigation by his 2171 01:49:01,453 --> 01:49:06,613 Speaker 22: mum and that dry, dusty middle of Australia.

She's got a song on 2217 01:51:28,933 --> 01:51:31,613 Speaker 15: there called Tennis.

This the Stranger Things actor. 2221 01:51:42,613 --> 01:51:46,133 Speaker 15: That makes it even more I don't know, grueling, but 2222 01:51:46,493 --> 01:51:49,493 Speaker 15: Tennis is about how this guy started playing tennis on 2223 01:51:49,533 --> 01:51:52,173 Speaker 15: a woman I'd never played tennis before. And then she 2224 01:51:52,213 --> 01:51:54,813 Speaker 15: starts going through his phone, and she finds some text 2225 01:51:54,893 --> 01:51:57,533 Speaker 15: from a woman called Madeline, and so she stops the 2226 01:51:57,613 --> 01:52:01,653 Speaker 15: song and she just says who's Madeline over and over again, 2227 01:52:01,693 --> 01:52:03,813 Speaker 15: and then she builds it into the chorus, and then 2228 01:52:03,853 --> 01:52:06,493 Speaker 15: the song ends with what I believe to be an 2229 01:52:06,573 --> 01:52:10,093 Speaker 15: actor reading out text between her and the other woman. 2230 01:52:10,733 --> 01:52:16,013 Speaker 2: Oh wow, she doesn't sound like a relaxing Listen, it's not. 2231 01:52:16,133 --> 01:52:18,893 Speaker 15: I when on my lunch break yesterday with my headphones on, 2232 01:52:18,933 --> 01:52:21,093 Speaker 15: I put it on.

She does it in 2236 01:52:28,093 --> 01:52:30,973 Speaker 15: this beautiful, little angelic voice, like if you were just 2237 01:52:31,053 --> 01:52:32,973 Speaker 15: kind of like passing by, you'd think, oh, that's a 2238 01:52:33,053 --> 01:52:35,813 Speaker 15: nice pop song. If you listen to the lyrics, it 2239 01:52:35,893 --> 01:52:40,373 Speaker 15: is brutal, just completely sav it.

She's now done this twice to two marriages, 2249 01:53:06,373 --> 01:53:09,213 Speaker 15: where she's written entire albums about. 2250 01:53:09,133 --> 01:53:10,133 Speaker 2: Had been married twice. 2251 01:53:10,333 --> 01:53:13,413 Speaker 15: Yeah, she's got two teenagers from the first marriage, I believe. 2252 01:53:13,853 --> 01:53:17,213 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's lived a life. Okay, so not necessarily a 2253 01:53:19,333 --> 01:53:22,213 Speaker 2: relaxing listen if you're focusing on a lot of the content. 2254 01:53:22,573 --> 01:53:24,733 Speaker 2: But what about the music itself?

By the way, I should point 2269 01:54:04,213 --> 01:54:07,213 Speaker 15: out she's said that this is a mix of fact 2270 01:54:07,213 --> 01:54:10,013 Speaker 15: and fiction, so we don't know what is real and 2271 01:54:10,053 --> 01:54:13,053 Speaker 15: what isn't. But it's so specific I would I think 2272 01:54:13,133 --> 01:54:16,253 Speaker 15: I'm I'm going towards like most of this as feels like. 2273 01:54:16,293 --> 01:54:18,893 Speaker 2: Fact because it's so detailed, and maybe the fact in 2274 01:54:18,933 --> 01:54:21,493 Speaker 2: fiction is the way to get around some legal issues. 2275 01:54:21,213 --> 01:54:23,293 Speaker 15: That's also what I think too. 2276 01:54:23,213 --> 01:54:26,493 Speaker 2: Okay, Right, So when you think about her previous albums 2277 01:54:26,533 --> 01:54:29,213 Speaker 2: and her breakthrough the one last seven years ago? What 2278 01:54:29,253 --> 01:54:30,933 Speaker 2: was the one seven years ago called I Can't remember? 2279 01:54:32,173 --> 01:54:33,613 Speaker 2: How does it compare? 2280 01:54:33,733 --> 01:54:34,053 Speaker 11: Like? Is it? 2281 01:54:34,253 --> 01:54:36,573 Speaker 2: Is it? Are we going to hear it playing in 2282 01:54:36,613 --> 01:54:38,413 Speaker 2: every shop leading up to Christmas? Is that it got 2283 01:54:38,413 --> 01:54:40,293 Speaker 2: that kind of retail pop appeal that some of their 2284 01:54:40,333 --> 01:54:41,973 Speaker 2: previous i've had or not so much. 2285 01:54:42,173 --> 01:54:43,533 Speaker 15: I think the lyrics, I mean there's a lot of 2286 01:54:43,533 --> 01:54:45,613 Speaker 15: swearing in it, right, so I don't think it's that 2287 01:54:45,773 --> 01:54:48,133 Speaker 15: radio friendly. I could see people going along to the show. 2288 01:54:48,133 --> 01:54:50,453 Speaker 15: If you've been spurned, if you're in a breakup right now, 2289 01:54:50,453 --> 01:54:52,453 Speaker 15: you would want to Yelly's lyrics from the top of 2290 01:54:52,493 --> 01:54:54,613 Speaker 15: your lungs. I reckon this is going to reignite your career. 2291 01:54:54,653 --> 01:54:57,653 Speaker 15: It's had rave reviews across the board. Yeah, a lot 2292 01:54:57,653 --> 01:55:00,933 Speaker 15: of five star reviews. Yeah, I love it. I mean 2293 01:55:01,093 --> 01:55:04,093 Speaker 15: maybe not from David Harbor. It feels definitely not from 2294 01:55:04,133 --> 01:55:06,373 Speaker 15: David Harbor. It feels like a Fiona Apple album. 2295 01:55:06,573 --> 01:55:11,093 Speaker 2: Oh wow, okay, yeah right, yeah, yeah, that's personal. Yeah, okay, cool. 2296 01:55:11,133 --> 01:55:12,093 Speaker 2: We'll have a bit more of a listener in a 2297 01:55:12,133 --> 01:55:13,053 Speaker 2: couple of minutes.
